A proposal is pending with the Central Board of Direct Taxes wherein all non-governmental organizations (NGOs) will have to compulsorily file details of foreign contributions received along-with their FCRA numbers in a revised I.T.form prepared by the Directorate General of I.T. Exemption.
The revised return form, expected to be implemented from the next financial year will have additional columns for mentioning FCRA numbers and details of overseas contributions received. Scrutiny of some NGO accounts by the Income Tax Department had revealed that considerable contributions had been received by the NGOs but were not disclosed by them in their return of income filed with the I.T.Department. The reason which necessitated revision of the existing I.T.Return form, common for NGOs, Trusts including Charitable Trusts.

Dell is moving quickly to expand its services capabilities in the wake of its $3.9 billion purchase of Perot Systems, rolling out a health care solution designed to make it easier for hospital personnel to quickly access patient medical records.
Dell is unveiling its MCC (Medical Clinical Computing) offering, a virtualized desktop environment that gives health care professionals access patient information and applications from any device in the hospital.
The goal of the offering, announced Nov. 18, is to lessen the amount of time these professionals spend trying to find that right device that has the data they are looking for. Instead, doctors and other health care workers can get onto any device-including desktops, laptops, handheld devices and thin clients-and access the centrally stored information and applications.
The MCC offering also brings other benefits to desktop virtualization, including greater security and easier manageability of the information and applications that are centrally located in the data center, according to Dell officials.
Further reading
In this way, the information can be locked in the data center, and hospitals go from managing devices to managing user "digital identities"-including user privileges, profiles and preferences.
"It's not enough to digitize patient information. We must make it available to medical professionals at the point of care, whether that's in a hospital or in an affiliated physician practice," Jamie Coffin, vice president of Dell Healthcare and Life Sciences, said in a statement. "Dell is focused on transforming [healthcare IT] to harness the power of information across our healthcare system to better coordinate and improve patient care and reduce its cost."
As part of the MCC solution, Dell helps design, implement and manage the virtual desktop environment, and offers services from integrating servers, clients and software to training and support. In addition, Dell will manage and host customers.
Dell is making a big push into IT services, which is dominated by the likes of IBM and Hewlett-Packard, which just absorbed EDS-which it bought in 2008 for $13.9 billion-into what is now called HP Enterprise Services. Dell's Perot acquisition in September will be a key driver for the company's service push. Healthcare was among the key verticals served by Perot.

Happy dancing over this way! I am calling this quilt Framed, as I have for a while now, because really--what else could I call it? This was one of my projects for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge last year. The centers of the stars are crumbs, and the stars are set in larger frames made of different fabrics in the same color. Almost everything in this quilt was a scrap or a leftover hunk, including the white-on-whites. The only "new" fabric is the orange frame, which I cut out of a larger piece I haven't used yet, and one yard of a single white-on-white for the border (such as it is.) Even those pieces came from my stash.
|Wrinkled but finished!
This quilt is huge, which made it a real challenge to get good pictures of the whole thing. The blocks are 24 by 24 each, which in retrospect I should have figured would make a really big quilt. But we all know that I have trouble envisioning the sizes of things from the patterns, so I didn't really think it would be this big. It's currently 78 by 102. Yikes! The one thing I might do differently if I were to make it again is use a very narrow sashing between the blocks. Matching all those points was not my favorite thing.
Given the size of the center, the only border that I added was a 3-inch strip of white all around. This mainly functions to stabilize all the edges and just softly frames out the piecing. It really didn't need anything else. This was made from the Moda Love pattern, available for free HERE. If you scroll down, you can see that the pattern is offered in different sizes. Mine is officially the "charm square" size. A few of the layer cake size would cover a king-sized bed! I would totally make this again, and I might just try the smallest size, which would finish at literally half the size of this quilt.
I am so happy to have this done! It took me too long, I know, but I'm glad it's finished. The backing will be my remaining piece of extra-wide fabric from Amanda Jean Nyberg's Good Neighbors line--also a leftover! (The fabric for the orange frame is also Good Neighbors fabric.)
This is the Independence Day weekend in the US, so I hope everyone has a great celebration! We are going house-hunting for the 800th time, then have some more fun things planned. Enjoy the fireworks!
Sharing at Confessions of a Fabric Addict, crazymomquilts, and soscrappy for RSC16! And since this is all scraps, also Oh Scrap! on Sunday.

Crown Institute is proud to announce the winners of their 2012 high school scholarships. Congratulations to Jessica Deo from Avondale College and Sofia Gherardi from Westlake Girls High School.
Crown Institute's aim for 2012 was to help students with some of the extra costs involved in studying at a tertiary level. Jessica and Sofia have received $1,000 each to put towards their transport and living costs while studying at Crown Institute.
"This is an added bonus. Travel costs are so expensive nowadays and receiving this scholarship makes me want to work that much harder," says Sofia.
Jessica and Sofia are both studying the Crown Certificate in International Travel, Tourism and Airline Studies course. They both loved studying Tourism at high school.
"I've always had a passion for travel. Working in the travel and tourism industry will allow me to meet new people and learn about new cultures," says Jessica.
To enter the scholarship, students had to map out an itinerary for a tourist visiting New Zealand for 14 days. Both Jessica and Sofia produced fantastic work. Each of their itineraries encompassed some of the great attractions and activities that New Zealand has to offer.
Sofia and Jessica have their sights set high and aim to work hard to achieve their goals; Crown Institute will support them all the way.
"Crown is awesome! I love the environment and it's so welcoming," say Sofia.
Crown Institute has travel, tourism and hospitality courses starting 26 March 2012 and the New Zealand Diploma in Business course starting 16 April 2012. Visit their website for more details http://www.crown.ac.nz or phone 0800 357 316.

Keyword Research
The Advanced
Guide to SEO
Chapter 06
You've all used Google AdWords keyword tool before right? We're not going to cover that here though. We're going to go beyond the common keyword research tools and explore some less talked about ways to find the best keywords to target for your site.
Beyond Google AdWords Keyword Research
Many people get keyword data from AdWords. But there's other sources of keywords and search volume. We're going to walk through a few of them now!
The newer Bing keyword research tool, although still in development, is a good place to check.
Sign in (or create an account)
Start with the basic settings. Bing's keyword tool is a little different than Google's. If set to 30 days, it give you the exact amount of search from those 30 days.
You can export the data
Use the benefit of exact search numbers to judge long tail:
You can bring in Google AdWords data for a comparison of search volume metrics:
Now, let's get a little more refined. Set the language to English (assuming that's your target language) — and expand the date range to 6 months. This is going to give you a large data set to make good decisions:
Set to "strict mode" for basically Bing's version of "exact match"
Wordtracker and SEO Book's Keyword Research Tools
These versions are free. You can also register and pay for the pro versions.
Run the report in SEO Book to export CSV's
Use the overall daily estimates for measure potential traffic across the entire web:
Wordpot is another source of keywords you may not have thought of.
It also shows definitions, synonyms, related words and associated words
YouTube Keyword Tools
Of course if you're doing optimization for YouTube you'll be interested in the search volume — but if not, this is still a fantastic tool very generating more keyword ideas.
Go to the bottom, click "add all 100" and then click export to CSV or the file of your choice
Also — let's say you want to rank in youtube for "search marketing".
Search for the term "search marketing" in YouTube
Find the top ranking video
Enter that video in the keyword tool — this give you the top keywords for that video
You can add these to the existing report or start over
Local Marketing Source — Local Keyword Tool
This is a handy tool for generating local keyword variations. It doesn't give you search volumes, just a list of keywords.
Start with a zip code, radius and keyword(s)
Generate your list and export to CSV
Use Search Suggest Scrapers For Fast Keyword Ideas
The web collects data every day. Data that people are actually typing — they are telling us what they are looking for.
Search suggestions are a great place to look for words people are actually typing. This can often bring immediate content ideas as well as keyword prospects. The important part in this process is collecting as many ideas as possible.
Many SEO's out there miss some of the most useful tools. Let's walk through some now!
First, a list of suggest scrapers
- http://www.ubersuggest.org
- http://soovle.com/
- http://tools.seobook.com/general/keyword-information/
- http://www.zuula.com/
- http://www.keywordbuzz.net/
All are great (there's a lot out there on ubersuggest) but I'll show you a few tricks with Soovle and KeywordBuzz
There's two ways we're going to use Soovle. First, we're going to use it as a general suggest scraper.
Set it is 15 engines. We want as many keywords as possible!
Start typing the root keyword surrounding the topic you're researching
Use Scraper for Chrome to Key Them in a Google Doc
Who wants to cut and paste all of those words? We can get them in a Google Doc with a small tweaking to the Scraper xPath
You'll see the default results don't include every keyword.
Eliminate the [4]
Scrape again (or hit enter)
Export the results to Google Docs.
Filter and sort the raw data
You'll notice there's a little extra stuff in there to clean up. There's some data from others divs and duplicate keywords.
Delete the extra two rows at the bottom
Sort by keyword alphabetically
Now we need to filter duplicates! In cell B2 put this formula;
This will put true if the items are the same and false if they are different.
Then hover over the corner (wait for the cross to appear) and double click.
This marks every items as a duplicate or not.
Before we do the next step, copy the true/false results and paste as values onto its self. This won't visually change the true/false results - but will remove the formulas and leave just the words.
Sort descending by column B
This should put all the TRUE's at the top. These are your duplicates.
Delete all the "TRUE" rows.
You're left with about 100 of unique and diverse keywords!
Soovle To Catch Trends
Next, we'll use Soovle to capture trending keywords if you want to create quickly and catch a trend.
Click on the Star
This will bring you to the trending words for the day.
Do a control-f in your browser. Search for words surrounding your niche
Then — enter THAT word back into the suggest scraper.
I just want to show you one thing with keywordbuzz.net — I don't know of any other scrapers to do this.
First — arrive at the search screen and enter your keyword.
Then — not only can you download as a text file. You can instantly check domain availability for .com .net and .org
Just click 'check' — and you'll instantly have some great niche domain name ideas.
You could even get ideas to latch onto a brand's traffic with an auxiliary tutorial or informational site.
Use Google Correlate
Google correlate is another not often talked about tool for keyword research, especially seasonal trends. http://www.google.com/trends/correlate/
Here's an example — if you enter 'red wine' this is the result:
You can see it gives us keywords where search volume across time has a strong correlation. This is a useful tool for exploring trends and coming up with some outside of the box keyword ideas — let's explore a few!
Additional Topic Ideas
Let's say you're a food blogger — and you like to do an article on red wine every once and awhile. Wouldn't you like to know some other topics you could attach to red wine?
The correlate result for red wine is:
You can see that a lot of people are searching for cheese related things around the same time they are searching for wine. This is somewhat expected, but there are many targeted keyword ideas you may not have thought of. And you know these trend right along with red wine - so you could time your content to go with the seasonal trends a bit better too.
You can show more words and also do a CSV export
Ideas By Location
The location feature in Google Correlate is great for targeting an audience in a particular location, with a parallel interest. This works great with seasonal items, or interests that fluctuate in search patterns through the year.
For example, let's say you're an eCommerce shop that sells grills etc. You might be interested in people searching for "outdoor party". You know this search pattern matches the seasonality and interests of your customers.
An initial correlation shows:
This shows similar search patterns for "poison oak" and "boat registration". But let's get more targeted and get correlations for the location.
And the results are:
Here you have people in the states of Connecticut and South Carolina interested in an Antigua all inclusive vacation.
So what do you do?
You do a vacation giveaway to the Antiguas for your customers from those states at the time of year people begin having outdoor parties (and buying grills).
Tracking Internal Site Search
Many site owners often overlook the most obvious place to get keywords. Your own website. I'm not just referring to keywords people use to arrive at your site. Rather, searches users are making within your site.
This especially works if you have a larger site — ecommerce or a large editorial site. You will have a lot of data to work with and many opportunities to learn about how people are using your site and keyword ideas you'd never think of otherwise.
I'm assuming you already have a search function in your site. I'll show you how to set it up in analytics and use the data effectively.
Check How Your Site Does a Site Search
You're going to need the URL parameter your site uses to track site search.
For example, the site I'm demonstrating this on, looks like the following;
See the search paameter?
where "search example" is the keyword typed.
The parameter is "search" (hint: if in php its after the question mark)
Set It Up in Analytics
Head over to your analytics profile.
Go to the Admin area. Click on Profile settings
In profile settings, you're going to scroll down to "Site Search Settings"
Type the query parameter we found in the first step in the field. Also, select to strip query parameters from the URL.
How To Use The Data
I'm going to show you how to best access this data for keyword research. We're going to do this within analytics but you can also export the data for further use.
First - View the site search keywords
If you've never done this before, its best to zoom out at least six months.
We're going to apply a few different filters to the data. (You could do this with advanced segments too for a more "permanent" filter).
This first filter says "show me words that get searched more often but then most people immediately leave my site. (You may have to play with the numbers specific to your metrics). These are the words you want to build new content around.
And may get something like this;
OR you can do sort of the opposite. Say "show me words that get searched a lot but where people stay on the site. Again, the exact number will depend on the behavior of people on your site.
Take Action
Either way, you'll have a list of keywords you can take immediate action on.
- Highly searched words where people leave = create the content!
- Highly searched words where people stay = keyword research and optimize around those words.
Scraping Search Suggest From the Command Line
Extract Initial JS File
Google runs a script when computing its search suggest words. You can use the following URL in your browser, and in turn generate a JS file.
Paste the following into your browser.
http://www.google.com/s?sugexp=pfwl&cp=15&q=<search term here>
Replace <search term here> with your keyword. Let's do marketing.
Paste in your browser
It will automatically create and download a JS file
Open it and you'll see your raw suggest terms
That's not very much practical use, so there's more!
Create an .sh File
Simply copy and paste this code into your text editor
#!/bin/bash q=$(echo "$1" | sed 's/ /%20/g') curl -s "http://www.google.com/s?sugexp=pfwl&cp=15&q=$q" | sed 's/\[/\n\[/g' | cut -d'"' -f2 | tail -n +4
Save it as an .sh file. You can simply name it suggest.sh
Run The Code In Terminal (Mac)
Run the following command in terminal
./suggest.sh "marketing"
Which will produce the follow results;
- marketing jobs in wa
- marketing solutions
- marketing plan
- marketing solutions wa
- marketing jobs
- marketing strategies
- marketing drive
- marketing mix
- marketing internships
(note that some results may be localized).
Running Your Own Keyword Frequency Analysis
There's many tools available out there to run a keyword frequency analysis. Some are free, some are paid. But there may be reason and benefit to having the control to run your own reports. I'll show you one way to do this!
Create your .sh Code
Start by cutting and pasting this into your test editor;
#!/bin/bash input=$1 IFS=$'\n' # for keyword files... if [ -e "$input" ]; then cat "$input" | sed 's/ /\n/g' >> tmp for word in $(cat "$input" | sed 's/ /\n/g' | sort | uniq); do count=$(grep -c "^$word\$" tmp) echo -e "$count\t$word" >> tmp_o done cat tmp_o | sort -hr rm tmp tmp_o # for web pages... elif [[ "$input" =~ "http://" ]]; then # check if links is installed. found solution at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/592620/check-if-a-program-exists- from-a-bash-script type links >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo >&2 "This script requires 'links' but it's not installed. Aborting."; exit 1; } links -dump "$input" | sed -e 's/ /\n/g;s/\(.*\)/\L\1/' | sed 's/\W//g' >> tmp for word in $(cat tmp | sort | uniq); do count=$(grep -c "^$word\$" tmp) echo -e "$count\t$word" >> tmp_o done cat tmp_o | sort -hr rm tmp tmp_o fi
Save this as a file — anything will work, such as keyword.report.sh
Run the Script
Open up Terminal in your Mac
You can run the script in two ways — either by file or by URL.
By File
bash keyword.report.sh keyword.file.txt
'keyword.report.sh' is the name of your .sh file and 'keyword.file.txt' is the name of your file with the content in it you're analyzing.
By URL
bash keyword.report.sh http://quicksprout.com
Again, 'keyword.report.sh' is the .sh filename and then you just put the URL! Easy!
I bet you have a killer list of keywords and data now! Now your site is fast, crawlable, semantically correct, and you've got the best keywords. Time to target and create content that will attract links while you sleep.

My second post in a week, who'da thought it!
Just thought I'd share this post from the Warhammer World Facebook page, announcing a high-spec reprint of Rogue Trader. I've watched this project being worked on for many months and its great to see it finally out. The scans are top quality and the paper and covers are heavier stock than the original so it's a really solid, chunky book. Even though I have three copies already I'm getting this one too!
It's also great that a new generation of gamers interested in the older editions will have a chance to get hold of this slice of old school gaming history...

Burgess Hill Town boss Ian Chapman should be quietly pleased with the start his team have made to the new season.
Six hard earned Bostik Premier league points in the bag and neat progression in the Emirates FA Cup.
Unfortunately his team travelled to the The Maurice Rebak Stadium stadium, Finchley, yesterday where it hasn't been a happy hunting ground.
On February 6, 2016, Hill were thumped 5-1 and on January 10 2017 they lost two one in a rain soaked brutal mid week encounter. It was much the same again as the hosts ran out 2-0 winners.
Even though its just a quick hop into London getting to the ground by public transport involves a lot of walking.
The best route is by the Northern Line to Finchley West underground station. From there it's about mile and half to the ground. Fair play to Hill's Chairman, Kevin Newell, who actually made that exact trip and walk. For Steve, Dan and I it turned into a bit of a mission as Steve sent us down the wrong street trying to find some new PokeStops.
We made it just in time for kick off.
There was some wild weather lurking in the area with menacing clouds all around. However except for a half time shower the game was mainly played in dry conditions on what looked to be a carpet of a pitch. The stunning semi art deco stand housing a majority of the 74 spectators.
Whilst the accompanying match report will give the finer details we all watched a very decent game of Bostik Premier Division football.
Wingate perhaps deserved the win but it was very harsh on Ian and his team to concede a last kick second goal. My Hill man of the match goes to keeper Max Huxton who made several excellent stops.
Chappers and his management team have built a reputation of being very resilient after the odd set back like this.
They have assembled a very strong squad and there were encouraging signs that a decent run of results is just around the corner. There is no reason to suggest that BHTFC can not mount a play off bid over the coming winter.
But for now they must concentrate on beating Bostik Premier newcomers Tooting and Mitcham FC at home on September 12 (7.30ko) and then travelling to Colney Heath (September 16) in the FA Cup. Win both and Hill will be on the MARCH!

Illinois Unites for Marriage reenergizes efforts to win marriage in IL
July 17, 2013
Today, the campaign to end the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage in Illinois celebrated renewed energy as Illinois Unites for Marriage, the coalition committed to passing marriage legislation in the state, announced the formal relaunch of its efforts. Earlier this year, the Illinois Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill extending the freedom to marry to same-sex couples, but the legislation stalled in the House and was not brought to a vote before the end of the legislative session.
Today's relaunch includes the hiring of John Kohlepp, a longtime organizer and lobbyist, as the Campaign Manager for the $2 million campaign that will include a robust public outreach efforts across the state of Illinois. Freedom to Marry is found to be funding the campaign alongside the Human Rights Campaign, Lambda Legal, Equality Illinois, The Civil Rights Agenda, the ACLU of Illinois, and thousands of individual organizations and donors.
Kohlepp set his sights on the next few months of this campaign today in a release. He said:
With the recent Supreme Court ruling on DOMA, Illinois families need marriage more urgently than ever, and they shouldn't have to travel outside of our borders to get it. Illinois Unites will bring same-sex couples and their children the protections and responsibilities of marriage as soon as possible.
The renewed strategy also includes a new statewide field program, a coordinated House party engagement program, and an earned and paid media campaign.
Richard Carlbom, Director of State Campaigns at Freedom to Marry, cheered on the renewed efforts today. He said:
It's a new day in Illinois, with a fresh strategy to bring the freedom to marry to all loving and committed couples in the state. In the wake of historic rulings for marriage at the Supreme Court, Freedom to Marry and our partners are reenergized for this new phase of the campaign, and more committed than ever to following through for the win. With smart mobilization at Illinois Unites and continued leadership in the Legislature, we'll make Illinois the next marriage state this session.
Winning the freedom to marry in Illinois - in addition to three other states in 2013 and 2014, Hawaii, New Jersey, and Oregon - is a critical track of the Roadmap to Victory, the strategy that Freedom to Marry will continue to follow in order to bring home a national victory for same-sex couples across the United States. By winning marriage in more states, finally ending federal marriage discrimination, and increasing public support for marriage, we know that nationwide resolution on the right side of history is in reach.

L-O-V-E, I love you. And also chocolates, flowers, jewelry, and other Valentine's Paraphernalia.
I learned how to spell Paraphernalia today. Actually, I spelled it incorrectly twice, before I finally caved and let spell check* work it's magic. But that's not the point of today's post.
The point is that it's Valentine's day.
Or it might be Singles Awareness Day, depending on your relationship status in life or on facebook. Either way, today is a holiday, and we should be celebrating, right?
Pt: It's so festive in here! Did you decorate for Valentine's Day?
Me: No, actually it's our anniversary month! It just worked out that Valentine's is the same month.
Pt: I bet you're rebelling against today. You're in all black.
Me: I just wear a lot of black!
Pt: You hate Valentine's!
Me: I do not! I decorated!
Pt: But you said it was for your anniversary!
Me: It's in honor of both!
Pt: So, you are celebrating Valentine's day! Who's your special someone?
Me: I don't know! I'm not really celebrating Valentine's, so I'm not going to go around throwing rose petals in the air!
Pt: …I don't think anyone should do that.
Me: But I'm not so disgruntled about life that I'm going to put on black as a statement to all the happy coupl-y people! I'm not going around yelling that today is Singles Awareness Day!
Pt: …no one should do that either.
Me: I don't know how I feel about today! I don't even know what today is!
Pt: …it's okay. It's just Thursday.
Happy Valentine's Day, ya'll.
*Spell check, by the way, is two words. At least it is according to spell check. I wonder if "autocorrect**" is one word.
**Spell check says auto correct is two words.
Only YOU, America, can celebrate by blowing things up.
I absolutely LOVE July 4th. I love fireworks. I love spending time at the park with a bunch of friends. I love the weather. There is no downside to this holiday.
Oh, except this one time when I was six years old and I ended up putting a sparkler to my face. Was it lit? Possibly. You know what that means? I put a fire stick on my face. Do you know why they call them fireworks? Because they are fiery, and they burn.
Despite this scar of July 4th's past, I love the holiday. And yes, I still love sparklers. So much, in fact, that GoldDust and I headed out in search of them for the holiday BBQ. Nothing says 4th of July like firing up the grill, sitting around the bonfire, and MOTHER EFFING SPARKLERS. I can't believe still that we were having a BBQ and NO ONE THOUGHT OF THE SPARKLERS.
(Created with Gifboom)
I mean, who, as a small child, did not play with sparklers for the holiday? Who didn't attempt to write their name in cursive in the sky thinking it might stay there, or after Harry Potter hit the bookshelves, magic the shit out of everybody??!! I was one of those kids who ran around with the sparkler shouting Avada Kedavra at strangers. Like I said. I was super cool.
Stop one was CVS. We debated picking up some Red Bull to make it through the night, but after scouring the store and not finding sparklers, or fireworks in general, we left in an irate fashion. Middle fingers up, debating WHY THE HELL DOESN"T CVS HAVE FIREWORKS and WHERE IS YOUR PATRIOTISM and ENTHUSIASM FOR BLOWING SHIT UP?! We left the Red Bull behind too. Any store that doesn't support fireworks doesn't get our business.
Stop two was at Kroeger. If you follow either myself or GoldDust on Twitter or Instagram, you may have noticed the tweet/instagram — We up in here at Kroeger. I'm pretty sure this is one of those Michigan stores, so equate it to your local grocer and begin saying that phrase in earnest. We up in here at your favorite local grocer. However, you know what wasn't up in here at Kroeger? Sparklers. They at least had fireworks, and we bought some imitation fireworks called Morning Glorys. But still. No sparklers up in here at Kroeger.
Stop three was at our local dollar store. We found poppers there, which are always fun. But still…no sparklers. While checking out, I finally asked someone about the lack of sparklers.
"We haven't been able to find sparklers anywhere. Do you have them?" I asked.
"Well," said the man behind the counter. "Ever since that news piece ran about sparklers burning at over 800 degrees, all the stores have been pulling them off their shelves. You can try one of the [super shady] tents on every corner. They'll probably have [the apparently now illegal and dangerous] sparklers."
"Dangerous?!" I exclaim. "They're sparklers! It's fourth of July! I got burned in the face by a sparkler but I still want them. Shouldn't it be up to us if we use them or not?!"
The guy shrugs.
GoldDust and I head out into the heat with our poppers, ice cream, and still no sparklers*.
"You know," she tells me. "That's probably not the best story to use while trying to get someone to sell you sparklers."
Well said, my little GoldDust.
Hope ya'll had a safe, face burning free, 4th of July. BY THE WAY. I think San Diego won for best fireworks ever.
*Obviously, sparklers were found. After driving for a half hour and coming up with lame imitation sparklers, an ice cream bar, a diet coke, a kit kat, and a bunch of poppers, the boys found sparklers at the booze store down the street.

Back In The Saddle…on September 26, 2012
Hi. It's been a while!
First of all, what the hell, man? No new comics? Yeah, I know, and it sucks, but I've put a brand new comic up tonight and we can get back on the horse. Wait, I don't like horses, how about go-karts? Yeah, we're back on the go-karts.
So. A couple of things all happened at once at the end of last month that really screwed everything up:
First of all, I changed day jobs! Resigning from a job and moving to a new one is a very exciting and stressful and ultimately rewarding process, but I've never done it before, and didn't really know anyone who did. Jobs are just these things that happen to you and you just kind of make your peace with it, right. Every time I'd changed jobs before it was because the company I was with went under, so after a while I started to feel like the harbinger of death for any place silly enough to hire me. Maybe I still am! I've been at the new place for a month and am just now settling into things – it feels like a good fit and I see a future here.
Secondly, my desktop computer died. Well not all of it, just some bits in it. I don't know. Look, I am not good at computers. It took about a week to get something resembling a working computer back, and another week to get all the right software on it again, so in the meantime I was just using my iPad and the wife's netbook, neither of which are that great for drawing comics on. Man, fixing computers is the worst, just the worst.
Oh wait, it's not the worst, building a games room in the back yard is! We are very over this whole thing now, and pretty much every spare moment in the last month has been spent working on it or thinking about it or buying things for it and I just want it done so I can move all my cool gaming stuff into it and play Bubble Bobble on the arcade cabinet and draw more comics and hide away with the wife in it while watching stupid movies. I think we've 'broken the back' of the project but man, it can't be completed soon enough.
Fourthly, I picked up a ton of freelance work because I wasn't under any restrictions from the old day job and I'm an idiot who can't say no. It turns out that an iPad isn't a real substitution for a real computer when you have real work do, who knew? Oh wait, everyone on the planet except for me. Gah!
There's also been preparing for Supanova Brisbane. It's going to be a swell time, folks. It could be the biggest Supanova yet! I am excited because I will be there exhibiting in Artist's Alley with a brand new comic! The wife is excited because she can get her photo taken with Spike from Buffy! Actually I think her plan is cooler than mine. With all the craziness of the stuff above I decided that all my comic-making time was best spent making something really cool for Supanova. I'm proud to say that as of last night Blow The Cartridge #2 is off to the printers and it should (!) arrive in time for the show. I'm really happy with it. First of all there are some video game comics in there that were requested at the last show, and they are exclusive to the book. It also includes a brand new 13-page comic about the first time I almost died buying Street Fighter 2. It's also exclusive to the book and it's also the first time the wife has worked on a comic with me! She coloured it and it turned out a treat. I'll be talking more about the show as we get closer, but I wanted to give you a heads up that something neat was happening for it. There'll also be some other new things on the table, stay tuned!
So…yeah. I have a ton of updates to catch up on, but I hope you can understand why I'd prefer to get all my ducks in a row before doing good comics again instead of uploading garbage just keep…oh, wait. God damn it!

Pride Playlists: Margaret Cho
June means many things to many people — the end of school, the beginning of spring, Father's Day. Here at Flavorpill, we're also celebrating LGBT Pride Month. It's an intense moment for queer rights, from the frustratingly slow progress our federal government has made on repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" to the two-steps-forward-three-steps-back fight for same-sex marriage. And tough times call for great music. That's why we've asked several of our favorite LGBT musicians to put together non-traditional pride playlists to soundtrack this year's festivities. You know, so we don't have to endure hour after hour of "I'm Coming Out."
Our third mix comes from one of the 21st century's greatest gay icons. Best known as a wildly popular comedian, Margaret Cho has also been an actress, burlesque star, bellydancer, filmmaker, clothing designer, and political activist. And on August 24, she will release Cho Dependent, a comedy music album featuring collaborations with everyone from Fiona Apple and Ani DiFranco to Andrew Bird and Kevin Barnes. Cho's playlist is a compilation of straight-up anthems with delightful feminist overtones.
1. "Last of the Famous International Playboys" — Morrissey
What to listen to while getting ready for Pride
2. "Empire State of Mind — Jay-Z
Only for New York Pride
3. "Naked Eye" — Luscious Jackson
One for the ladies
4. "The Con" — Tegan and Sara
Only like my favorite song in the whole world
5. "Oh L'amour" — Erasure
Pretty much the most beautiful song ever
6. "True Colors" — Cyndi Lauper
Kind of an anthem
7. "Vogue" — Madonna
If "True Colors" is the "Star-Spangled Banner" of gay pride, then "Vogue" is "America the Beautiful."
8. "Criminal" — Fiona Apple
Because we have all been bad, bad girls
9. "Love and Affection" — Joan Armatrading
Another one for the ladies
10. "Supersonic" — JJ Fad
Just because
11. "Seven Nation Army" — The White Stripes
'Cuz I just love 'em

It's Bangkok Fable, the next project by Fireball director Thanakorn Pongsuwan.
Here's the synopsis:
Anek is the last remaining descendent of the Brahmin priesthood. However, he rejected the heritage of the ancient bloodline to become a normal husband and father in present day Bangkok. Out of the blue, a rich woman called Krittiya asks for his help to break a curse that has returned from the distant past. All the women in her family, including the children, are becoming physically deformed. To protect his own family, Anek returns to his childhood home and learns that two hundred years ago a young woman swore revenge on Krittiya's ancestors. His great-great-grandfather sealed the woman's angry spirit in a secret tomb. Anake must solve the puzzles that lead to her resting place in the maze of modern Bangkok, encountering evil spirits and other secrets that had best stay buried.
Hopefully it will be another showcase of Bangkok's gritty underbelly, which Thanakorn has portrayed pretty well in his Muay Thai-basketball combat drama Fireball and his first film, the romantic drama Fake. That's blended with the supernatural, like his thriller Opapatika (Demon Warrior).
Co-writen by Thanakorn, Suthiporn Tabtim and Siwaporn Pongsuwan, it's being produced by Bangkok Film Studio's Sa-ngar Chatchairungruang, and is listed as being "in production" by the Film Catalogue.

A helper with one of the residents
John Bradburne on his daily rounds
The John Bradburne Memorial Society was founded as a charity in England in 1995 in order to help support Mutemwa Leprosy and Care Centre in Zimbabwe, in memory of John Bradburne's dedicated life and work there as Warden between 1969 to 1979.
The Society spreads information about Bradburne's saintly life and his prolific writings, and produces two newsletters annually, summer and winter, to a broad membership within the UK and abroad.
The sale of books , CD', DVD's and cards contribute to the monthly support JBMS sends out for Mutemwa, which includes donations given by kind benefactors and friends, which ensures that JBMS can continue this charitable work.
There is a great need, more than ever, for funds in order to help sustain the community, for basic running expenses, and also for supporting various income generating projects, the profit of which can be put back in to the welfare of the community. Those projects are monitored by the Franciscan Brothers who administer the running of the Centre.
Objective of the Charity: "To relieve people at Mutemwa, Zimbabwe, who are suffering sickness, hardship and distress from leprosy or other causes, through the provision of supplementary food, medicines, medical care, and shelter, with the objective of improving their conditions of life".

Hello, I'm Chiaki and I'm guest blogging on Archie and the Rug today. I'm a passionate maker with a love for bright colours. You can normally find me blogging over at Chiaki Creates. Today I'm sharing this very simple tutorial on how to make a colourful bangle. I happened to have a slightly wider polka dot washi tape that fits perfectly horizontally on the bangle but I found that normal width washi tape looks better wrapped the other way around.
Materials:Wooden bangle Assortment of washi tape Scissors Mod Podge Brush
1. Cut a piece of washi tape long enough to be wrapped around the bangle and slightly overlap on the inside. Wrap it vertically around the bangle. Make sure that the washi tape is tight smoothing out any air bubbles as you go along.
2. Cut a new piece of washi tape and wrap it so it's along side the previous one making sure that there's isn't any wood peeking through. Repeat until you've worked all the way around the bangle.
3. Using the brush apply Mod Podge on the inside of the bangle to prevent the ends of the washi tape from coming loose. Done.

Games For Video IpodReviewing: Apple, Assorted For Video Ipods/New Nanos | Rating:
One of my favorite things about my 30gb video Ipod is the games that can be bought for it from the Itunes store.
There are about 2 dozen available for use on all Ipods with video and the new style Nanos, and they range in price from $0.99 to $4.99. They include such classics as Chess, Solitaire, Backgammon, Yahtzee, Scrabble and Tetris to games based on the hit TV show LOST and the blockbuster movie Pirates of the Carribean. Also available are arcade favorites Pac-Man, Bomberman, Bubble Bash, Zuma, Cubis 2, Bejeweled, Naval Battle, Texas Hold'em, Mini-Golf and The Sims Pool and Bowling, among others.
The graphics, sound, gameplay and controls are all top-notch. The controls have been adapted to the Ipod's scroll wheel. While it may seem weird at first not to have the traditional joystick, it is very quick and easy to get used to, and nothing is lost in the translation.
One of the best features is the option to turn off the game's sound, and listen to your own music, a podcast, or even an audiobook while playing. What a fun way to pass the time.
I enjoy my Ipod much, much, more than a Nintendo Gameboy, and the price of the games compared to those for the Gameboy and other systems make these games an incredible value. You get your money's worth the first few times you play them. I would recommend these games to all Ipod owners of any age.

My phone woke me from my slumber, caller ID said Poway, CA. I closed my eyes and rolled over to catch some more z's. I knew it was my job but whatever it was could wait. A few hours later, I called the number back and got a stranger's voicemail. So I text my boss to see what was up, turns out I didn't get the position I applied for back in December. (May I remind you it's February.) Well, fuck that's a shitty way to start the day. I popped some headphones in to better my mood and started getting ready. All the while my travel partner was giving me serious attitude, didn't he know I had just got rejected for the third time despite all my hard work? I checked the time, 8:30am. I was seriously considering climbing back in bed and calling it quits for the day.
Out the door we went through the alley to our scooter and off into traffic. We needed bread and coffee so we stopped at a french bakery on the way to what we thought was our final destination for the day. The bakery was full and the service was swift. It was here that my day started to look up. While sipping cappuccino a blue and red beetle crawled into my lap and up my arm. I let the wait staff tell me it wasn't poisonous before naming him Phillip and letting him walk around our table. With bread and coffee in our stomachs we headed to the Monkey Forest.
Not even 10 minutes into the monkey forest, my travel partner was bitten by a monkey. Yes, bitten. Why? Because he would not give her a banana. He usually carries neosporin everywhere but this time I had my backpack and tiger balm was going to have to suffice. I whipped it out of my bag and the monkeys immediately thought it was something they could eat but after I opened the lid the pungent smell detoured them. I applied a generous amount to the bite on his back and he just about screamed from the pain. It burns on open wounds but at least he's not going to get sick. Catastrophe avoided? At least briefly and we got to continue the rest of our time with the monkeys, different areas of the temple and carvings. I was mounted quite a few times by the younger curious monkeys as we walked. I think they liked climbing on me because I was wearing a backpack and they could just hang out there. A tiny baby monkey tried to climb me but failed and ended up just smelling the anklet I wear to repel mosquitoes, gave me a very animated look of displeasure and continued on her way. As we were exploring the last part of the forest it started to drizzle which put a little pep in our step. After a few minutes the drizzle had escalated to a gentle rain, this is when I broke out my jacket and I'm glad I did because before I could finish zipping it up the sky turned black and it was pouring rain. We accidentally ended up leaving the park to hide out under a store front overhang. One thing we've learned is that the weather can change in an instant so we wanted to wait for the rain to pass.
5 minutes.. 10 minutes… 15 minutes we stood there and the rain kept coming. I watched the street flood before my eyes. I pulled out my poncho because my water resistant jacket just wasn't going to cut it in this weather. My travel partner was itching for a beer but didn't want to get his shoes wet since he'd somehow manged to keep them dry. So off into the street we went him barefoot in shorts and a t-shirt completely soaking wet after a quick dash across the street and me in a jacket and poncho but feet completely soaking wet. "I'll trade you." he said as we stepped into a pizza place about a block later. There was no way I was making that deal. Instead I sat to order a beer. When our waiter arrived with the ice cold delights we barely had time to say cheers before an electrical fire (it was still pouring rain) broke out at the convenient store next door. I ran to the back of the restaurant and my travel partner grabbed his beer before headed out into the street. "Claire get out here!" I heard over the loud crackling sounds but I was too scared to move.. let alone run past the box a mere 10 ft from the door that was sending sparks in every direction to get to the street. A crowd had gathered and smartphones were plentiful capturing our torment until someone grabbed the proper fire tool to extinguish the threat to our safety. There were about 8 of us in the restaurant and boy were we glad it was over. In the chaos my travel partner had braved the sparks to join me inside, in the event the building I was in had caught from a spark. He made a promise to my mom to get me home in one piece or whatever so.. you know.
The rain had finally stopped and our pizzas were out a few moments later. A bit overwhelmed with all the excitement from the day, I was content to silently eat my pizza. I'd reached capacity with regard to my energy level but I still had to get home. My travel partner teased that I would have to drive the scooter back since he was presently lost. We negotiated and agreed that if he wanted to be home within an hour and in one piece it was better if he drove and I navigated with my mental map of the area back to the bungalow. The deal was set and we were off. As we headed back, I couldn't help but think about how happy I was that I didn't go back to bed after all.

I came across this article when I was browsing arXiv: astro-ph and it was pretty cool, so I thought I'd share it with you all.
Now, the actual paper is pretty technical so I wouldn't bother reading it unless you're really keen. In it the author, Kipping, simulates a planet-moon system transiting its primary and discusses the possibility of actually detecting the moon from such a transit.
The transit method, if you recall from last Wednesday's post, uses the fact that a planet passing in front of its sun dims the star's light a little bit. Kepler is a telescope orbiting in space which is currently searching for planets using this method.
In his paper, Kipping computes what we need to look for in the light curves (the data which shows how much light we can see from a star over time) to identify possible extra solar moons. What really caught my eye, though was that he concludes that Kepler is sensitive enough to detect some exo-moons. How cool is that? Maybe in the near future we'll be reading about the latest batch of exo-moons as well as the increasingly large database of exoplanets we're building up.

Finally! A simple plug-in specifically created to add electronic exhibit stickers to your PDF files within Adobe Acrobat including the free Adobe Acrobat Reader XI.
Because this is a plug-in, there is no new software to install. You can be up and running in minutes.
If you are a Nuance, Nitro or other third party PDF user, no problem. Simply work with your PDFs in your program of choice and when you are ready to add exhibit labels, open your PDFs with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader XI, select your E-Sticker and stamp away.
Powerful features, such as the ability to auto-number or letter, make it very easy to digitally exhibit sticker PDFs. Set your starting number or letter, choose your E-Sticker (or us the quick "k" key short cut) and with the click of your mouse you have placed your E-Sticker. When you open your next document the E-Sticker remembers the last number/letter you used and automatically increments to the next number or letter making it simple and convenient to E-Sticker all your PDF files. Compared to hand sticking exhibit labels, you can E-Sticker so much faster, not to mention look more professional and save money by not having to re-scan or re-print your documents after they have been labeled. You can even use the E-Sticker to add blank labels to your PDFs. There are so many great reasons to use the E-Sticker.
Our E-Stickers give you the ability to:
- automatically increment numbers or letters
- add an optional prefix before your exhibit number/letter
- manually override incrementing feature if you need to use unique characters
- create a blank exhibit sticker using the manual feature
- add an exhibit title/subtitle/footer (see the All-In-One E-Stickers)
- choose from 12 colors (see the All-In-One E-Stickers)

Click on the arrows above to view more paintings of Thomas H
Thomas' story
Thomas was a 27 year old advertising executive who enjoyed scuba diving, mountain biking and flying kites.
His nasal tip was bitten off by a dog in 1998. Despite attempts to graft the separated piece of nose, skin, cartilage and mucosa, this did not take and he was left with a blackened nasal tip.
His first operation involved transferring skin from his forehead down to his nasal tip. It was then left joined to his forehead and connected to his nasal tip for three weeks until it had taken. After three weeks it was cross-clamped with a metal clamp for one hour to ensure that it had taken to the tissues at the nasal tip. This pedicled skin flap was then divided and the excess material discarded. At this same operation ear cartilage was used as scaffolding to rebuild the underlying architecture of the nose.
He has undergone two subsequent operations to thin the skin and he will have a further operation to build-up the nose slightly more and to thin the nostrils.

Understanding Inmate Calling Plans

Jail Calls: How Will He Call Me From Jail?
The Truth about Prison Phone Calls

Hundreds more 'Straight Up Answers'...
No. Neither this jail nor any other jail allows you to directly phone an inmate.
There is no way for you to directly leave a message for the inmate. Letters, visits, postcards and phone calls are the only methods of communication available.
Many jails are now contracting with a third party service (for a fee) which allows you to leave a recorded phone message for an inmate.
To see if the Baytown Municipal Jail has this service, go here or call 281.422.8371.
Collect Calls
Baytown Municipal Jail, allows inmates to make traditionally placed collect calls to friends and family members under the following conditions:
The phone company that the landline belongs to allows collect calls. In some cases, you need to pay a deposit to accept collect calls. In other cases, the phone company in questions blocks all calls from jails and prisons.
The person on the other end chooses to accept collect calls from this jail.
No. Inmates are not allowed cell phones in Baytown Municipal Jail, although getting access to a cell phone in jail has become more common.
Some states such as California have made it a criminal offense to use and possess a cell phone and will file additional charges when it can be connected to an inmate. Cell phones are most often smuggled into the jail and then sold to the inmates by jail staff.
A growing number of jails now offer email services to inmates and their families. This can save you time by letting you view your email from your smart phone, computer, or tablet, whenever you wish.
You don't have to deal with envelopes, stamps or the post office.
Inmates like it because the emails typically eliminate delayed mail runs so they can get your correspondence quickly and send responses immediately.
Jail staffs like it as it eliminates concerns about contraband entering the facility in envelopes and on paper. It also allows the jail to have an electronic record that can be called upon at any time.
Anything you or your inmate writes in an email service is put through a filtering program that looks for certain words related to criminal and/or gang activities.
There have been multiple cases in which emails between inmates and their friends or loved ones have been used as evidence in criminal court cases to convict them or to file new charges.
Call 281.422.8371 or click here to see if email services are being offered at this jail and if so, how to sign up you and your inmate.
If you were unable to find the information you were looking for on this page, call Baytown Municipal Jail at 281.422.8371 and ask their policies on getting phone calls from your inmate.
This facility does not restrict the number of calls or minutes an inmate can use on the phone each month with the following exceptions:
The inmate loses phone privileges due to behavior write-ups.
The inmate attempts to call someone he or she is prevented by court order from contacting.
The inmate continues to call a number in which the owner of the number has notified the jail that he or she doesn't want the inmate to call.
The inmate or the entire POD is on lock-down status.
If your inmate does not call you during the time you both have scheduled, don't panic. There are often long lines for phone use. When a jail is on lockdown due to a fight or other security issue they do not allow the phones to be used.
Phones are the only way for an inmate to hear your voice and temporarily 'escape' the loneliness of incarceration, so use your time well. Arguing about anything will leave you both feeling empty and guilty, so avoid it at all costs.
All phone conversations are recorded. Whatever you talk about, can and will be used against your inmate in court. Never discuss their pending criminal case!

Indonesia At-A-Glance
From glitzky Jakarta to cultural Yogyakarta, and through the country's mind-boggling number of jungles, volcanos, islands, tribal villages, etc... there's just way too much on offer to name them all!
amazing diversity and potential for storylines
somewhat streamlined permit process if we co-produce
not a carnet country!
the sheer size of the country means costly and time-consuming travel
need special permits for larger gear kits
always raining somewhere + extreme heat means you're always wet.
By law, every foreign shoot in Indonesia requires a general filming permission, issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), and a more specific filming permit, issued by the Department of Tourism (DOT).
There are 2 options when applying for permits:
OPTION 1:the client can apply directly to their local Indonesian embassy (in their country of residence). Once the general permit is issued by the MOFA, the application will be passed on to the DOT for their approval. While we can't be of much help during the first step, we can (and do) check with DOT here in Indonesia to ensure that the application is processed in a timely manner.
This is the cheapest option, but often time-consuming and a bit stressful for our clients.
OPTION 2: we can apply for everything in your name if we act as co-producer. In this case, there is no need to contact the local embassy for any filming permits, though depending on the length of the shoot, you may need to process business visas for the incoming crew. While this is a more expensive option than #1, it's also much easier and the good value for the peace of mind it brings.
Our great relationship with the local authorities allow us to get permits quite painlessly. In order to apply for permits, we must have:
- final schedule and itinerary
- final list of all locations and local contributors
- a script, if applicable
Most foreign crew members must have a visa before entering (some foreign nationals are exempt. Contact us to check if this is applicable to your crew).
In theory, the authorities will assign a government minder to your production, and this will be the same individual the entire time. You will need to allow for his transportation, accommodation and meals in your budget. In practice, we are often able to negate this, especially if we are acting as co-producers.
Indonesia is a very large country with nearly 18,000 islands (6000 of them inhabited), and as such, it possesses several distinct climate zones. On Lombok, for example, you could be climbing up Mt Rinjani and experiencing near 0 degree weather while staring at perfect coral-reef islands down below.
Overall, upon arrival and disembarking from the plane, you'll immediately notice the sudden rush of warm, wet air. Indonesia is a warm place. It has no spring, summer, fall, or winter, just two seasons: rainy and dry, both of which are relative (it still rains during the dry season, it just rains less). While there is significant regional variation, in most of the country (including Java and Bali) the dry season is April to October, while the wet season is November to March.
In the highlands temperatures will naturally be cooler, and there are even snow-covered peaks in Papua, whose mountains can soar above 5000 meters. Bring along a jacket if planning to visit eg. Mount Bromo on Java or Tana Toraja in Sulawesi.
Filming in and around Ramadan, especially towards the end, is not especially recommended, though quite possible.
While Indonesia is NOT a carnet country, we may need to process temporary import permits if your gear list is especially large. As such, sending us your list of gear is a priority and should be done fairly early in the pre-shoot process.
While it's often cheaper to rent some items in-country, it is sometimes difficult to find the right piece of gear. As such we highly recommend coming with most, if not all, of your gear.
Van costs in Indonesia are very good value, costing roughly 100$/day (12 hours' usage) which includes driver and petrol. As such, this makes Indonesia quite affordable in terms of land transportation.
However, the poor state of roads and the sheer amount of traffic at all time of day makes it near impossible to travel faster than 60km/h. Any land travel takes more time than westerners are used to, and this can incur costs in terms of overtime, etc.
As benefits such a large nation, the country is well served in terms of flights. Domestic fares are reasonable, but delays quite common. As such, it is best to plan each schedule, especially departures from the country, with maximum buffer time in hand!
Jakarta and Bali offer the only true international gateways, although it is possible to fly directly to Yogyakarta from a few neighbouring countries.
Finally, as Indonesia is made of so many islands, it goes without saying that boats are a very possible mode of transportation. In general, the more popular routes are quite safe, but the more remote one goes, the more it may be wise to charter its own ferry.
In Jakarta, every possible range of accommodation exists, with 5-stars being somewhat cheaper than in the west.
In provicial towns, we can often find Asian style 4-stars, again at great value.
In provincial towns, excellent value can be had with higher-range hotels, whilst popular tourist areas like Yogyakarta and Bali arguably offer the best bang for the buck.
Outside of these areas, though, accommodation can start to feel quite basic, with slow-to-no WIFI and bland restaurants. However, it's also very cheap, and a dollar saved on hotels is a dollar one can spend on the actual production!

Wildflower patch
Pollinator surveyors needed!
Beautiful……and not just beautiful but productive too! Increasing the numbers of pollinators and biodiversity in Keynsham. The wildflowers were planted as part of the RHS 'In Bloom' celebration to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Almost 20,000sq m of wildflower meadows were sown over the weekend 14 – 15 April across the country, marking the start of National Gardening Week and the launch of Britain in Bloom.
A Buglife/ RHS Pollinator Survey is now available online and they are asking people to take part now the flowers are in full bloom for the summer. The survey can be completed any time between now and the middle of September.
THANK YOU and have fun!
Food group meet @ TK quiz social
The next food group meeting is Friday 20th July @ 7.30pm @ 20 Winscombe Close, BS31 2HR.
Followed by a TK social and quiz night @ 8.30pm.
Bring food, family, friends to share. Well the food to share, you don't have to share the family .
There will also be a quiz, possibly even food related!
Email firstname.lastname@example.com or call Laura 07970737760 for details.
Music Festival
Thank you to all of you who came and visited the Transition Keynsham stall at the Keynsham Music Festival.
Congratulations to Claire Hudson who won our Good Food Raffle, which was full to the brim with delicious homemade and homegrown treats as well as some additional fairtrade luxuries :-).
We sold over a 100 fresh strawberry and banana smoothies whipped up on the bicycle-powered smoothie maker. Mr Buss from Buss's greengrocer gave us a great deal on the fruit but we still only managed to break into a grand £1.70 profit. Not the most lucrative fundraising effort but still lots of good fun!
We were even joined by Orinoco the womble to promote the R3 group's new Keynsham Wombles project. There was lots of interest with people taking a flyer and asking how they could join the community litterpicking network.
the Good Food web-project
Ideas collected at the event suggest that there is a need in Keynsham for:- 1) more education about the issues surrounding good food (climate change, peak oil, health, big business etc) and 2) more signposting/awareness around good foody things happening in Keynsham (e.g. locally produced food, markets, community gardens etc).
*To create an online web(site/page) etc to;
*Introduce and raise awareness of issues affecting the resilience of our food systems and pose the question 'what is good food'?
*Celebrate and signpost to all the foody things happening in Keynsham; markets/community projects etc and have a directory of how to find good food locally.
*The web-project could be a combination of text, illustrations, poetry and video/sound interviews with local people involved in local food (such as children from Castle School's tuck shop, Keynsham's Girl Guides growing patch, Steve from the Severn Project and Anne Bone from the farmers market etc).
This will hopefully make the web-project an interesting thing to read and explore. And people will feel more empowered to make their own decisions about 'good food' by understanding the reasons behind what makes food 'good' and how they can support their food systems locally in Keynsham.
Contributions needed for project;
-Web design
-Text / writers
-Interviews with local bods involved in food, either video or just sound
Wellsway Wildflowers
The cornfield annual wildflower seeds have been sown! With the right kind of April sunshine and showers to germinate the seeds before the wind blows them away or the birds eat them we and the bees should be enjoying a lovely sight on the Wellsway Triangle this summer.
Huge thanks to everyone who has helped with this – I hope we will see lots more bee-friendly plants growing everywhere soon.
Wildflower Patch @ the Wellsway Triangle
We made a brilliant start preparing the Wellsway Triangle on Sunday. About a dozen hearty people dug up and took away more than half the turf. We were helped by some lovely people who live in a house overlooking the patch who carried bags, ferried loads to Pixash Lane with their car and trailer and brought out teas and coffees.
Some of the turf has been re-homed in people's gardens, the rest taken to the recycling depot. We've left signs and bunting explaining what we are doing and during the next week we will complete the preparation by removing the rest of the turf and raking the soil. Those of us with with a little spare time in the coming week will work on the patch, culminating in a last working party next Sunday.
A huge Thank you to everyone who worked so hard on Sunday – it was wonderful to see the transformation we are making together. It was also very heartening to have the support of passersby who were interested in what we were doing as well as that of Dawn Drury and Gill Hellier from the Town Council who were both there joining in.
If you would like to help, then please go along to the patch with your spade or get in touch with TK to find out more.
The last stage will be the sowing of the wildflower seed on
Sunday 15 April – do come along.

Launch of the Fruit Tree Map
We have launched our local fruit & nut tree map!
Please visit this LINK to see the map.
People have kindly started to offer up their own private fruit trees. If people wish to harvest the fruit they must arrange an appointment to visit first.
"The miracle is this – the more we share, the more we have" – Leonard Nimoy
So…..knowing where the fruit can be found is the first step in this dream!

- First, really take a look and decide if it all has to come out at once. Is it possible to start revealing the information and have it interrupted by something else? This makes it not quite as long and also raises the reader's interest. You can do this by having something major stop the scene (an attack, arrival of someone who shouldn't hear, etc.) You can also have the person providing the information only give part of it, feeling the other person isn't ready for the rest.
- Don't have person A just spilling the beans. Get person B involved. Let them ask questions, make guesses and deductions. A long uninterrupted monologue feels infodumpy, but if you do something like this, it doesn't feel quite as long:
Mike glanced toward the cheese on the table. "Mom didn't die of natural causes."
Suddenly, it all made sense to Sherry. The journal, the sudden move to a new city, the way her relatives always gave her odd looks when she mentioned rodents of unusual size. "It was rats wasn't it? She was killed by huge rats!"
- Have some kind of action going on during the conversation. One of the things you have to be careful of in dialogue is something I will talk about in a future post called "talking heads." This is where you just get line after line of dialog with no descriptions, internal thoughts, actions, etc. One of the best ways to fix this is by having something else going on. That's why so many conversations in books happen over dinner. It let's you do something like:
Jayson cut of a piece of steak and speared it with his fork. "I'm not who you think I am."
Jillian watched her brother shove the nearly raw meat into his mouth and rip into it like an animal. "I know exactly who you are."
- If there are things the reader already knows, summarize. Mike told her all about his terrible date of the night before.
- Do NOT have the characters remind each other of something they both obviously already know to explain it to the reader. "As you know, being twin brothers we both have the same birthday."
- And finally, try to avoid the dreaded bad guy spills it all just before he kills the good guy scene.
Hope that helps!
