10 Tips for Planning a Wedding in the Ozarks
If you're lucky enough to live in Southern Missouri and Northern Arkansas, then you may already know that our region is one of the most beautiful areas of the country to hold a wedding. Our gorgeous river valleys, rolling mountains, and soft, grassy plains make it possible for just about any bride to have the wedding of her dreams. Our rich history, family-friendly activities, and abundance of talented vendors and photographers makes the Ozarks a dream wedding destination for couples from all across the country!
1. First - and most important - don't rush yourself.
Here's the hard truth I think every bride learns when she starts researching her dream wedding: a lot of things are going to cost more money and take more time than expected. The national average cost for wedding photography in 2014 was $2,556, for starters.
It's okay!
Take a deep breath.
Take a step back, and ask yourself if you REALLY need to set your wedding date for only 4 months from now.
Researching all of your options can be exhausting, especially if you have decided not to use a planner or you are planning a destination wedding from outside the area. The popular vendors sometimes book their most requested wedding dates a year or more in advance, and all of them require deposits before they will hold anything. Give yourself plenty of time so you can lock down the baker, florist, photographer, etc., that you REALLY want. If you try to book all of these too closely to your wedding date, you'll be picking from what's left over.
2. Start by choosing a venue - there are so many!
Here in the Ozarks, there is really no limit to the imagination when it comes to having a unique wedding, and the low average cost of wedding expenses makes our beloved region attractive to brides seeking a family oriented wedding destination. It's easy to plan your wedding and your honeymoon all in one place!
Want to get married in a beautiful historic firehouse? We have a venue for that.
A classy vineyard? There are several.
Maybe your wedding style is a sleek, luxurious hotel in the heart of downtown Springfield, Missouri.
Or the romantic stone chapel ruins at Sassafras Springs Vineyard in Springdale, Arkansas!
Branson, Missouri has several wedding venues that can be all-inclusive, like Big Cedar Lodge and Top of the Rock. Bring the family along, and enjoy the many family friendly shows. Or go shopping, ride roller coasters and go-karts, relax, fish, or water ski on the lake, or visit an aquarium.
For our nature-loving friends, there is no lack of beautiful hiking trails waterfalls, mountaintops, wildlife conservation areas, and caves to explore. Plan a spectacular outdoor ceremony along the Buffalo River so you can wake up in a rustic cabin on your wedding day and watch the elk graze Boxley Valley or plan a float trip with your wedding party as a honeymoon adventure.
3. After you've found your location, pick a photographer whose portfolio matches the style of wedding you are planning.
Are you having your ceremony in a vintage barn or a large, open church or your family's creek-side property? When looking through a website or portfolio, keep details like this in mind. Some photographers excel at outdoor ceremonies, but their indoor reception coverage may not be to your liking. Some have mastered downtown and urban venues, while others are obviously more comfortable in natural settings. Some photographers are amazing at both! Don't be afraid to ask to see a full wedding he or she has covered, from beginning to end. Highlights are great to get a sense of a photographer's style, but you want to be sure to see a complete wedding collection before you sign a contract. Anyone can get lucky and fire off a handful of great shots during a wedding.
4. Do your homework and compare photographers and other wedding service vendors.
It is rare that any two photographers' pricing structure is EXACTLY the same. Vendors who are located within larger cities tend to be priced a little higher than their rural counterparts. Look at the pricing structure of several of your favorites before contacting them for details instead of sending out mass emails to every photographer you kind of like with a long list of your photography needs.
If you try to narrow down which ones are within your budget, first, you'll save time and catch more in your net. Also, comparison of several pricing structures and shooting styles is really the only way to know if you're getting the best deal for your wedding day. After you've found a short list of photographers who you think might be a great fit for you, start reaching out to them to find out how they operate.
5. Fall colors arrive in the Ozarks a little later than you may think.
When we think of the Autumn months, September, October, and November usually come to mind. However, if you desire a wedding in the peak of gorgeous Ozark Fall colors, it's a good idea to stay away from any day in September or the first 2-3 weeks of October. Every year, Kent & Carolyn Photography has a wedding scheduled on the weekend of October 19th, or whichever date falls near there (this year, that weekend falls on the 15th), and every year, the leaves start turning beautiful colors the very next week. Our poor brides were crossing their fingers the colors would arrive in time, but it's always just a few days or a week too soon. (But of course, now that I've said that, Mother Nature will prove me wrong this year, just to keep me humble.)
With the exception of the odd weather year here and there, the vibrant Fall colors are usually in their full glory during the last two weeks of October, and they last until the first or second weekend in November, sometimes a little longer.
6. Spring arrives in the Ozarks a little later than you may think.
Punxsutawney Phil told us that Spring will be here early this year, and frankly, this is the first year in a long time that I think I believe him! Although the first day of Spring is technically March 20th, the flowers are usually going great by mid-late April, and trees aren't completely full until around May. I remember it even snowed on the first weekend of May a few years ago! But by the end of May, it's hot!! Most years you can't tell much of a difference between the end of May and the rest of Summer.
7. The sun sets earlier in Arkansas than it does in Missouri.
I swear, it does!
Okay, maybe not really. However, the terrain makes a huge difference on how soon you will lose that beautiful, soft, golden sun in the evening. We all know that Springfield and surrounding towns are pretty well flat because we live on the Ozark Plateau. However, if your venue is located in a little more south, like Branson, Missouri, Harrison, Arkansas, Eureka Springs, Arkansas, or along the Buffalo National River, you are deeper into hilly terrain, and low-lying areas get dark more quickly as sunset approaches. This is important if you are deciding the start time of your outdoor ceremony based on the time the sun sets. If your venue is flexible on your start time, and you're not sure what light would be best, ask your photographer for advice!
8. Was that a large mosquito or a small drone?
The mosquitoes are no joke in Missouri and Arkansas. If you've seen any recent news reports, you know they can also carry some pretty nasty viruses. Ticks and chiggers are an issue during the warm months, too. It's common for couples who have outdoor events in the warmer months to hand out small bottles of repellent to keep them at bay. This can be done tastefully and in coordination with your wedding decor. Your wedding guests may think of you when they smell citronella for years to come, but it's better than the alternative of having itchy bites or something worse.
9. If having an outdoor ceremony/reception, always, always, always, have a back-up indoor location!
"If you don't like the weather in Arkansas or Missouri, just wait five minutes and it will change."
If you grew up here in the Ozarks, there's no doubt you've heard this saying. A lot of local vendors who have water-sensitive equipment will have a section about weather and outdoor venues in their contracts. Don't just have a plan in mind. Make sure your weather plan is clearly communicated to your vendors, wedding party, and guests.
10. Steer clear of the "friend with a camera." Don't skimp on the professionals!
We live in such a beautiful region that it's no wonder so many people feel compelled to buy a camera and start selling their photography as a hobby or to make ends meet. Everyone has to start somewhere, and asking friends to let you practice with them is definitely a good one. As a bride, please be respectfully cautious of your friends with cameras.
Your friends mean well, they really do! They are going to approach you before your wedding and say, "I just got this great camera, I can help you save some money on your wedding pics!" Or your future mother-in-law is going to pull you aside and say, "My cousin's daughter is taking a photography course at the college, and she's got a great eye! I bet she would do your wedding for cheap to get started!"
They are only trying to help, but following their advice might turn into a regrettable decision.
It takes experience and education to correctly and artfully document a wedding day fully, from beginning to end, without missing a moment. It takes more than a good eye or an expensive camera to know how to deal with problems when they arise, such as chaotic lighting, unexpected weather, unexpected gear failure, etc. It takes grace under pressure to make sure someone else's wedding day goes off without a hitch.
Just for a moment, don't think about your wedding day. Instead, think about the weeks, months, and years AFTER your wedding day. What tangible objects have you taken away from it to display in your home? The cake is eaten (or frozen, in some cases), all flowers (even preserved ones) eventually turn to dust, the catering was delicious but now gone, and the dress gets stuffed in a bag in the back of the closet. Maybe it will get passed down, maybe it won't. What else do you have to show off all of your hard work, planning, and literal blood, sweat, and tears?
Your spouse, of course!
And those three, giant, beautiful canvases that hang above the mantle.
And that amazing album on your coffee table that your friends gush over every time they stop by.
And that collage on the bedroom wall that has all your favorite shots of you and your bridesmaids in the dressing room, all laughing and prepping for the ceremony.
After all is said and done, your photos will be the wedding day purchase that lasts you the longest. Make sure this job is in the hands of an experienced professional. You will be ever so glad you did!

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- A man who filmed a couple who had overdosed on heroin and were lying unconscious on a Memphis sidewalk as people mocked them is defending his decision to post the video live on Facebook.
At one point in the video, Courtland Garner puts his phone inches from the woman's face. He and others in the crowd can be heard laughing at the pair. A driver who was passing called 911, and emergency responders were able to revive the married couple.
Garner is unapologetic, saying he wasn't the first person on the scene and knew someone already had called for help. He told The Associated Press he shared the video to alert children to the dangers of doing drugs.
The video has been viewed nearly 3 million times.
Many people who commented online criticized Garner for sharing it. He should have offered the couple assistance, they said, instead of sharing the moment on social media.
Garner said children might benefit from watching the video.
"I hope one child who sees this video will realize how silly doing drugs makes you look," he said. "They'll have that image in their head for life, so they'll never want to touch a drug like that because they'll know the results."
Carla Hiers, 59, and her 60-year-old husband, Ronald, told police they snorted heroin in a nearby drug store bathroom before they were found on the street, said Memphis Police Officer Louis Brownlee. The couple was taken to a hospital and survived the incident. Carla Hiers was taken into custody after police discovered an outstanding warrant on a theft charge and several driving offenses, Brownlee said.
Two telephone numbers listed for her were not working Friday.
Memphis police are encouraging people to notify authorities if they believe someone has overdosed.
"We have to show compassion instead of recording things," Brownlee said. "We have to take an active role and do what's right and get people the help they need."

My research draws together theories and techniques from information science and science and technology studies to explore design done differently, from ethnographic accounts of feminist making and hacking to collaborative development of alternative infrastructure.
Maintaining the Menstruating Body
My dissertation research examines recent industry and policy initiatives aimed at extending menstrual hygiene resources, and participatory grassroots design programs operating alongside these efforts. I investigate the sociotechnical development of menstruation in these settings through both building Internet of Things (IoT) devices and facilitating collaborative design efforts. This research points to a need for infrastructures of change that support collective care and maintenance, while also accounting for existing entanglements of data, technologies and governance that structure people's everyday experiences of hygiene access.
Published in ACM CHI, ACM DIS, and Design Issues (forthcoming).
Hacking Culture, Not (Just) Devices
This project examined the motivations, activities, and ideals of people organizing feminist hackerspaces: collaborative workspaces developed to support women's creative and professional pursuits. Drawing on interviews, participant observation and archival data collected across the Pacific Northwest over two years, we show how members of these spaces use small-scale collaborative design and acts of making to work out their place in society in ways that contest widely accepted understandings of hacking, technology, and collaboration.

Community Historians
With this project, we collaborated with a community arts organization in Atlanta to co-design a series of public, participatory workshops focused on conceptualizing and enacting forms of citizen engagement through technology and cultural heritage. Outcomes of the workshops included an interactive, alternative asset map of the area (pictured above) and residents building their own digital cameras from component parts. By co-developing the design workshops and focusing on community members' values and interests, we were able to initiate a partnership that placed the community's goals first. Activities were, in turn, focused on articulating a shared notion of community identity to each other and to a broader audience for both programs of celebration and advocacy .
Collaborators: Christopher Le Dantec
Dork Posters: Parody through Design
Drawing together studies of data-driven mapping with expanding programs of research through design, we examine design parody as a technique for revealing and exploring socio-spatial exclusions both contested and propagated by social media platforms. Dork Posters is a series of satirical marketing materials — website, posters and business cards — that imitates Ork Posters (the Chicago-based design company that popularized typographic neighborhood mapping techniques) to include their representation within digital platforms (Yelp, Zillow and Car2Go). Maps for each platform represent particular Seattle neighborhoods with typographic arrangements to invite inquiry into what technology corporations make matter and where, in ways that challenge the neutrality of neighborhood-based data.
Collaborators: Meredith Lampe and Daniela K. Rosner

Cybersecurity Toolkits of/for the Future
The cybersecurity toolkit—collections of digital tools, tutorials, tips, best practices, and other recommendations—has emerged as a popular approach for preventing and addressing cybersecurity threats and attacks. With this project, we seek to interrogate and inform the design and development of cybersecurity toolkits for both near-term and far-term futures. To do so we adopt a mix-methodological approach rooted in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Design. Such an approach holistically considers multiple factors of human practice and experience, including usability and human factors engineering as well as more complex and nuanced aspects such as emotional and cultural experience. While this approach is holistic in its consideration of a multiplicity of factors, it is specific in its focus on the use and design of cybersecurity toolkits.
Collaborators: James Pierce, Nick Merrill, Richmond Wong
Published in ACM CSCW and ACM DIS.
This work is supported by the Center for Long Term Cybersecurity, at the University of California, Berkeley.
Re-examining the period app
This project examines mobile applications designed to support the documentation and quantification of menstrual cycle data. Drawing on historical analysis and applying a design-oriented lens, we challenge the ways in which these contemporary technological infrastructures are inscribed with particular histories, and invite participants to make their own sense of menstruation through a series of open activities. Respondents trouble notions of the body that configure it as wholly knowable or primarily for reproduction. Instead, they offer new types of "data" with alternative notions of the body and introduce new layers of depth and understanding to the period app protocol.

Hi, I started with AF in my mid thirties, I am now 60, and in 2013 was diagnosed with heart failure through mild left ventricular impairment due to right ventricular pacing (I am on my second pacemaker) and 2 leaking Valves. After the HF diagnosis I was put on Bisoprolol and ramipril, and kept on Digoxin plus warfarin, which I have taken for all of the time I have had AF, in fact it was the first drug I was put on. However, I now read that Digoxin has a higher mortality rate for people who take it than those who don't. I also read on the internet that HF typically ends your life after 5 years from diagnosis, though I don't feel any worse than I did in 2013. So as you can imagine, I am now feeling a bit worried as to where I will go from here. Does anyone else recognise my story and had the same, if so how are you and how do you cope. I have always had the attitude to just get on with life, but suddenly it all seems to be doom and gloom, anyone got anything positive they can pass my way. Many thanks if you have, at moment I feel so alone.

Stephen Colbert on Monday tipped his hat to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) "for bringing a new freedom to America's dairy land": Guns in the state Capitol.
"Damn straight," Colbert said. "We have a right to bear arms in this country, and, like it or not, Wisconsin is still part of this country."The state legislature is split on the issue, as TPM has reported. The overwhelmingly Republican Assembly is in favor of it, but the more evenly split state Senate opposes it.
But just because guns may be allowed in the Capitol, doesn't mean you'll see gunfire, Colbert said, because cameras are still banned. And "thank god," he said. "Cameras are dangerous. With no waiting period, any whack job could just stroll into a Walmart and walk out with a semi-automatic."

Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) is a procedure by which embryos obtained through IVF are screened for possible genetic or chromosomal abnormalities.
PGD is indicated in all cases with suspected increased risk of chromosomal abnormality to the embryo such as, history of repeated abortions, advanced maternal age, repeated IVF failures, and in cases of altered male meiosis.
It is also indicated in cases of couples carrying sex-linked disorders, couples with alterations in their karyotype (translocations, inversions, etc.) and to prevent the transmission of certain genetic diseases (monogenic), including some muscular dystrophies, cystic fibrosis or Thalassemia.

"Two bus companies took loans for the purchase of buses for Yangon Bus Service. One company's debt has been settled. This company took Ks four billion. Another company will have to repay debts as it has bought an additional over 200 buses. They all are Foton buses. The government has a plan to buy new buses every year. We bought 1,000 buses and then allocated 500 each to two companies. The old buses can be replaced with the new ones if we buy additional 50 buses when we reach break-even," the Chief Minister said.
There are demands for the extended operations of bus lines to Ayeyawady Region. We are thinking about the extension of the bus lines to the Ayeyawady region if the CNG is sufficient enough to run the route to and fro, he continued.
The Chief Minister said at a press conference on the region government's third-year performance on June 5 that the region government would buy new buses after all debts had been paid off.
It has been over two years the region government shifted MaHtaTha (All Bus Lines Control Committee) to the YBS. To operate bus lines, Yangon region government has formed two companies, namely Yangon Bus Public Company (YBPC) Ltd and Yangon Urban Public Transport (YUPT) Company Ltd. The region government invested Ks 70 billion in two companies and had to take a loan of Ks eight billion from the Ayeyarwady Bank.

Three out, two in? Rangers' summer window hots up...
Another incredible 48 hours at Ibrox is climaxing (ooer) with intense action on the transfer front.
Ibrox Noise takes you through the key components as things stand:
Declan John looks to be headed out – despite his excellent season last year, it appears he is not in favour under Steven Gerrard and is interesting his home nation's finest in Swansea on a loan basis. The left back has had a number of major issues to content with recently including the death of his grandfather and a back injury, and has disappeared entirely from Rangers' match squad. It does seem his new manager doesn't rate him.
Ibrox Noise's recently-recommended (thanks for listening to us Stevie!) Osijek left back Borna Barisic is set to join in a £2M move. The Croatia international is a top class fullback, and while his arrival is extremely welcome, and it certainly explains Declan John's likely departure, we can't see current LB Jon Flanagan being dropped in this form. This means he is likely to switch to his more natural RB position, but where does that then leave club captain Tavernier? Curious, and we'll be intrigued as to how this is all handled!
Meanwhile the Kyle Lafferty deal remains on the table but has gone quiet. With Morelos' appeal now appearing off the table, Rangers still require firepower for the next three league matches, and hopefully a deal can be clinched with the ex-Govan star to return him home. But we'll see.
As for Morelos? Interesting Rennes and Bordeaux apparently, on a permanent deal. The 22-year old hitman's time in Scotland continues to be a mixed bag, and if the sale goes through (reported fee of £4M) it frees up funds for more players and the stronger likelihood of securing Hearts' Lafferty to replace him.
Lastly, forgotten man Lee Hodson is on the verge of a switch to MLS side Montreal Impact. The 26-year old is surplus at Ibrox now, and with 456 left backs ahead of him and plenty of options on the right too, he is expendable. It's likely to be mutual consent again, but hopefully for once we can get a bit of change from the Canadians for him.
Another manic day or two in the life of Rangers Football Club.

Our new left back is going to be a great piece of buissness and one I think won't be here for long so let's enjoy having him. And another leader on the park, that ticks all the box's. Looks like our best defence that I can remember ...ReplyDelete
I dont agree with us signing BarisicReplyDelete
Perfectly good LB in DJ
...will be Gutted to see Him Go!
Right Back should be Tav & Flanagan
Left Back should be John & Wallace
...Or Barisic & John
...But I dont want them getting rid of Wallace Either,
and it looks like Wallace is gonna either be back up for Barisic or Hes Gonna be out the door too.
Think we should Swing Half a Million to Hearts and Bring Lafferty back to Govan!!
...More Consistent and Clinical than 'The Incredible Sulk'
We Get Offered £4-5m for Morelos ...
We could have had the Boy Marriott for £3m and waghorn is only going for £5m
And Finally Good Luck to Hodson if He Gets The Move to Montreal 👏
Have to agree w StevoReplyDelete
Barisic looks a decent player, over the 3 legs we saw him. But we have 3 LBs including Flanagan who had a great game yesterday. As did Tavernier. Yet one of them will be dropped? Or Tav moves forward, as many have suggested. It may work, it may not. But it seems like we would rather try fixing things that are not broken instead of concentrating on things that are. remember, we are only one thug away from being short in Central Defence. And the SPL is not short of thugs. We could ask Ryan Jack to compare and contrast Stevie May and Cedric Kipre, for starters. Unless he plans to move Wallace inside, which seems unlikely.
I am a big fan of Morelos and he was very hard done by. But this cannot come as a surprise to any Rangers player. You will NOT get protection, but everybody else will. He will be targeted even more now and we will need another striker.
I did not pity SG having to choose between Flanagan and John, but binning John is not the answer. Now he will have to choose between Flanagan and Barisic. If he had 2 winners for every other position, fine. But we are not there yet. Swapping a regular international for a sometime international is fine line distinction. What if Barisic goes off the boil when he gets here?
Sorry, may be a good player but a poor call to me. Will eat my words if we have another great striker and CB in on 1st SeptemberReplies
Don't know who all these LBs we have are? Flanagan is no LB believe me. He will be torn apart by top class RWs. He can do a good job at RB. John is nowhere to be seen and is no great shakes as a defender. Wallace is finished at Ibrox. So Barisic is needed. I think we will get him AND a CB AND a Striker. In Stevie G we trust!Delete
Cheers My Fellow Blue Blooded Brother! 😂👍Delete
Signing Barisic is Pointless.
A CB and CF is whats Required!!
We should have John and Wallace for LB
Flanagan Challenging Tav for RB
We shouldnt be getting rid of John or Docherty!
Mistake by Stevie G!
1 step at a time. He is sorting out our woeful defence this window and hopefully next will go out for goals up top. Cementing 2nd this season is the aim then game on next season. From where we were 2 season ago surely you can see progress? More than happy with how the squad is taking shape and that new Croatian lad could play anywhere on the left hand side btwDelete
"Signing Barisic is pointless". Just wauit to see him in a blue jersey. Mind you, are you not the chap who thought Albertz was a winger!!Delete
Sandy im not doubting that Barisic is a decent enough player ...Delete
I just think there are other areas that could have been looked at first.
Like CF ...🤔
We could have had that Boy Marriott for £3m
We could have Lafferty for 600k!
Also I would have liked to have seen DJ stay and Fight Barisic for LB slot like Tav fighting Flan for RB.
And Albertz was
A Left Sided Mid/Left Wing 👍
Barasic is head and shoulders better than anything we have at left back. Hes powerful and dynamic...and he can play going forward or backwards, real quality. He had Tav on Toast for 180mins. Outstanding signing.ReplyDelete
Flanagan is also by far our best RB. Less dynamic than Barisic but equally tough and agressive and he can play.
Tav ? Maybe there's a place for him in midfield. If not then it's Tough Titty in the Big City. Benched and he can fight like reverting else for a jersey. Anything else wouldn't be cricket.
That for me is a proper sign we are up a level or 3 this season.Replies
I will accept that SG knows a bit more about football than me. No, don't gasp, it's true :-)
He may have a plan in place to fix the other areas, I just would rather that was where we concentrated first. I think we are weaker up front and in central defence than we are at left back. Welsh international, Scotland international and Flanagan, who I repeat had a very good game yesterday, at left back.
Most of our team could be upgraded, we are not Barcelona. I am just querying the order of priority.
Agree that Tav should be back up and have to fight for Jersey as hes had it Eady for too long and needs to work harder and earn it.Delete
Lafferty is as big loose cannon as Alfredo... while not a great fan.., Moult,??ReplyDelete
All spot on stevo also add moult to that list as well as lafferty if sunday taught us anything it was that its going to be another long season.ReplyDelete
Moult. The poor man's Joe Garner. Do me a favour.ReplyDelete
Stop with this Moult nonsense. Surely we've moved beyond a former Motherwell player who can't cut it at Preston now or in England before moving to Motherwell. A journeyman.ReplyDelete
Wish people would stop cryin for Louis Moult!!!ReplyDelete
So what he scored a few for Motherwell??...WhoopDeeFuckinDoo
He Is Pish!
Whats he done at Preston?
How many has he Scored?
....Laff over Moult Every Day of The Week! 👊

Conant's RESPECT Week
During the week of February 12-16, Conant High School participated in Granite State RESPECT Week. RESPECT week is a statewide initiative by the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence. The educational campaign raises awareness about teen dating violence, sexual harassment and abuse.
High school guidance counselor, Amanda Shaw and four student advocates, Anna Wentworth, S.J. Barney, Riley Buckjune, and Emily Chen coordinated RESPECT week activities. Shaw discussed the focus of the week was to "educate our students and staff and to create a healthier environment." The first event scheduled raised awareness.
Tuesday's round-table discussion panel featured advocates from the MVCP Crisis and Prevention Center, Franklin Pierce University and school counselors from Wediko Children's Services. Students submitted anonymous questions to the panel. Issues addressed during the discussion included dating violence, respect, harassment, and bullying.
Valentine activities were used to prompt students and staff to take action. They posted hearts with positive messages. People posted respectful comments, compliments, quotes, or "Love is..." statements. Over 120 hearts were posted.
RESPECT week ended with a commitment pledge. Students and staff signed a pledge banner to stand up against dating violence and create a safe and respectful environment in our school. Students wore orange in solidarity with this pledge.

Ontario premier-designate Doug Ford says he's waiting on Toronto's Pride organization to include uniformed police in their annual parade before he commits to attending the June 24 event.
"I look forward to the organizers of the Pride parade to include the police," told The Toronto Sun's Editor-In-Chief Adrienne Batra during a video interview in The Sun's newsroom Friday.
"It's supposed to be inclusive and the police play a big part in our community, in Toronto, they're the first people we call when we need help. So I look forward to their decision on deciding if the police are going to be marching in their parade."
Starting in 2016, police officers in uniform were forbidden from walking in the event, which draws hundreds of thousands of people to the city's downtown core, after Black Lives Matter halted the parade, mid-event, with the demand they be excluded over police treatment of blacks and other minorities.
The uniformed police inclusion drew more traction this year when the gay community accused authorities of mishandling investigations into people missing from the Gay Village after alleged serial killer Bruce McArthur was charged with the murders of eight men.
On another front, Ford also told Batra he's looking at the possibility of changing the minimum number of seats required to be an official party in Ontario. Currently, the Liberals have only seven seats, one seat shy of official party status.
"We're always open to discussion," said Ford. "We'll sit down with our team and discuss that opportunity over the next few days, over the next couple of weeks."

Christian Education Series
JESUS vs SUPERMAN
Mighty God, you proved your power over sin by becoming human, proclaiming the truth about your redemptive Love, willingly dying on the cross, and conquering death in your resurrection. As we explore stories of truth, justice, and power, may your Spirit lead us to a deeper understanding of the greatest story ever told, that of your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Superman's story goes something like this…
From above, a mighty father in the heavens sends his only son to save the earth. When he comes down to earth, he is raised by two earthly parents. When Superman comes of age, he travels to the arctic "wilderness" to commune with his father's spirit. Upon leaving this solitude, Superman, at age 30, embarks on his public mission, fighting for truth and justice...using powers to do what others cannot. His mission leads to his death. But, Superman is "resurrected" and comes back to life after being killed. Then, "Superman Returns," coming back to earth to save its people.
Sound like a familiar story?
The similarities between Jesus and Superman are striking, yet when explored should not come as a surprise. These connections are intentional. Movie producers and directors know that the world is longing for a savior...even if they are resistant to admitting it. People can reject organized religion, they can stop going to church, but the truth is we need to believe that we will be delivered from the suffering of this world.
In a scene from Superman Returns, Lois Lane tells Superman that the world doesn't need a "savior," and neither does she. She denies the purpose of Superman. Superman understands that the world doesn't know what the world needs. He takes her up into the sky and explains to her that although she cannot hear all of the people crying out for help, he does. Every day he hears the cries of the people for a "savior." It is human nature to believe that we don't need help. One could argue that this unwillingness to understand our limitations only produces more suffering...suffering in which we end up crying out for someone to save us.
We need a "savior." Jesus is our Savior, yet the world often looks to false "saviors" in times of need. Does a comparison between Jesus and Superman help us more deeply connect to Christ or does it serve to satisfy our need for a "savior" without requiring the gift of faith and the work of discipleship? Does thinking of Jesus as a superhero lessen his identity as our Savior? Does comparing his divine power to superpowers diminish our understanding of his divinity? I think it is a fascinating discussion and look forward to engaging with what others think about these questions in the Comment Section below.

A 1970s party, part 2-- homemade butter mints recipe
>> Monday, October 19, 2009
I wanted to make butter mints like the ones the cook at our church made for weddings when I was a child. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted; so I created my own recipe.
Way better than any store bought mints. These are not hard. They are soft, melt-in-your mouth mints. Easy to make and mouth-watering to eat.
Sarah's Buttermints
makes approx. 200 1" circles
1 t. vanilla extract
2 t.mint extract
1/2 t. butter flavoring ($2 at Walmart- wedding isle in craft section)
1 lb powdered sugar
a small cup of water
microwave safe bowl
a knife or small circle cookie cutter
cookie sheets (probably 2)
In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter in microwave oven at 30 second intervals. Be careful not to overcook. Add flavorings. Mix well (I used my mixer and a dough hook). Gradually stir in powdered sugar, about 1/2 to 1 cup at a time. Mixture should be smooth and thick. When mix gets f lackey, add water-- a few drops at a time until the mix sticks together-- but is not sticky to the touch. The last little bit may require kneading by hand. Turn out on a surface covered lightly in powdered sugar. With a rolling pin, roll mix to 1/4 inch thick and cut into small circles with a mini cookie cutter or into small squares (like store bought dinner mints) using knife. Place on cookie sheets. Allow to air dry for at least 2 hours (overnight works well). Keeps well in the freezer.
My sister-in-law tasted them and said, "Oh, WOW!"
They really are that wonderful.
WHEAT FREE! Egg free. Milk free if you substitute margerine for the butter. Gread for those with alergies, which our birthday girl has in EXCESS.

Nestled amongst Hackney's Victorian buildings and overlooking London's skyscrapers, Dalston's only rooftop garden is an opportunity to relax, eat, drink, dance and see the London landscape differently.
Framed by the city skyline, our rooftop oasis transforms what was once forgotten space into a traditional English Garden, plushly turfed and brimming with herbs, hops and flowers to be put to good use in this year's food and drink offerings.
We want our park to be used and enjoyed by everybody. We actively encourage young people to engage in the garden, and events – if this sounds like you – get in touch. We'd love to hear from any budding gardeners, photographers, painters, sound engineers and more!

Hundreds of youngsters are flocking to train with Newcastle Eagles basketball stars - thanks to a crime fighting scheme.
Their goal is to compete in a major tournament at the city's Telewest Arena in front of a 2,000 strong crowd.
Positive Futures, a scheme from Castle Morpeth Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership, aims to encourage kids through sport and steer them away from crime.
Targeting 10 to 19-year-olds, Positive Futures is a partnership between the Home Office, Sport England and Youth Justice Board. It covers wards in Castle Morpeth, Wansbeck, Blyth and Alnwick.
The scheme also aims to tackle drug and alcohol abuse, while urging youngsters to say no to smoking and to adopt healthier lifestyles.
The 2004 Coalfield Basketball Schools' League has just been launched, with the help of Newcastle Eagles Basketball player/coach Fab Flournoy who visited the schools to urge young people to take part.
Alan Brown, director, Communities Group North East, said: "There is proof of the positive role sport can play in taking youngsters off streets and away from drugs and crime and in boosting self belief and motivation in life."
Weekly basketball coaching sessions are held at several venues. More than 200 children turned up at the first session in Amble, including ones referred by the Youth Offending Team and police.
The budding young players are forming teams to compete in four events early in the New Year. The first competition is on January 24.
Training sessions will be held with Newcastle Eagles players who will help the young people hone their new basketball skills and pass on tips about preparing for a game including diet and nutrition.
Games will be held throughout February and March, culminating in a grand final on March 26 at the Telewest Arena. The finalists will play prior to a Newcastle Eagles home match.
Each participant will receive a certificate signed by Newcastle Eagles and the top teams will be presented with medals.
John Thompson, of Castle Morpeth Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership, said: "We were delighted Home Office figures show a significant drop in crime in Castle Morpeth. We have been working hard on a number of crime reduction schemes, including Positive Futures and it's great to see them reaping rewards."

I love these #IMWAYR posts.
They're all over the blogosphere!
Occasionally, I join in the fun, too.
So this is my Monday book, and it's a good one.
No, it's a GREAT one.
I met Karen Cushman for the first time last weekend in Houston at the fabulously fun event, TWEENS READ.
But from my librarian days, I've been a fan. I didn't buy her book there because my suitcase would hardly close as it was. (I pack small.)
Imagine my delight when I realized I actually already own a copy, buried on my To Be Read shelf. Sent by her publisher.
Thank you, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt books!
CLICK HERE to see what the folks at Kirkus say, besides that it's star-worthy!
Here are some things I love about this book:
The language, oh the language!
"Grayling felt her face sag like an empty feed sack."
That image will be with me a while.
One secondary character, Desdemona Cork really cracks me up.
Desdemona Cork twitched her shawl, and Phinaeus Moon blushed.
Grayling rolled her eyes. "Can you not leave it for a moment?" she hissed to Desdemona Cork. "Must you enchant everyone?"
Desdemona Cork pulled her shawls tightly around her. "'Tis not something I do, but something I am."
Yes, the book takes place
a while ago, in the days of magic and spells and mice who change into goats. But that Desdemona
totally reminds me of somebody I know.
I'll leave you with some words of wisdom, advice the travelers learned on their journey, your thought for the day:
Do no magic you cannot undo.
Perfectly apt for a Halloween Monday, no?
Now rush right out and buy the book, request it from your library, fire up the Kindle, however you prefer to read. You'll totally love this one!

The Mk. II Volkswagen Golf and Jetta range of models was introduced in March 1984, revised body and trim features being the main visual difference to the earlier range of models. The engine/transmission is mounted transversely at the front of the vehicle, drive being to the front wheels. Detailed improvements have been made throughout the years of manufacture to improve power output and economy.
These include the introduction of hydraulic VW Golf VW Jetta The VW Golf & Jetta Team Haynes manuals are produced by dedicated and enthusiastic people working in close co-operation. The team responsible for the creation of this book included: Authors Sub-editors Editor & Page Make-up Workshop manager Photo Scans Ian Coomber Cristopher Rogers Carole Turk Sophie Yar Steve Churchill Paul Buckland John Martin Paul Tanswell Steve Tanswell Cover illustration & Line Art Roger Healing Your Volkswagen Golf and Jetta Manual
The aim of this Manual is to help you get the best value from your vehicle. It can do so in several ways. It can help you decide what work must be done (even should you choose to get it done by a garage), provide information on routine maintenance and servicing, and give a logical course of action and diagnosis when random faults occur. However, it is hoped that you will use the Manual by tackling the work yourself. On simpler jobs it may even be quicker than booking the car into a garage and going there twice, to leave and collect it. Perhaps most important, a lot of money can be saved by avoiding the costs a garage must charge to cover its labour and overheads. The Manual has drawings and descriptions to show the function of the various components so that their layout can be understood. Then the tasks are described and photographed in a clear step-by-step sequence.

Benefit of Light Emitting Diodes
Posted by: Anthony
Light emitting diodes (LED) are gaining popularity by leaps and bounds. There is a vast difference between the efficiency of the light emitting diodes and the traditional lights, even if you compare it with other energy saving illumination the difference is very bulging. This is also the cleanest and most Eco-friendly source of lighting. There are plenty of reasons to switch from conventional way of lighting to the most innovative one. Below are the prime benefits of LED lighting that will enlighten you.
Long LifeThe long life is the top most benefit of LED lights, these light emitting diodes have an outstanding operational life expectancy of 100,000 hours, that counts for 11 years of continuous operation and up to 22 years of life if they are operated 50% on the daily basis, this mean you can literally fit the light and forget about replacing it. One reason of longer life is that they do not cease to work or burn out like a standard light but they tend to get slightly dimmer with the passage of time.
Energy EfficiencyIn the present time, the highest efficiency was achieved up to 80% with other energy saving options, however with light emitting diodes you can save much more than that. In conventional lighting, 80% is completely transformed into heat and only 20% is obtained. The long life on Led is also positive factor in achieving the high energy efficiency. If these energy efficient lights are fitted in large commercial buildings it would save huge maintenance and running cost, frequent changing of bulbs will be eliminated. The running cost of all the commercial buildings and public places like railways, airports, and more will be reduced from 30%.
Improved DurabilityLED's does not use filament technology which provides them greater durability. It can easily withstand vibrations, shocks and minor bumps without the risk of breaking or damage.
Compact SizeThe compact size of LED's has enabled it to reach those areas which are not accessible by conventional type of lights. LED's light can be shrunken to as small as 2 mm, making it perfect to fit anywhere.
Zero UV EmissionsThese types of lights emit minor infrared lights and almost no emission of Ultra-Violet rays. This advantage of LED's lighting has made it highly preferable for material that are sensitive to heat and UV sensitive objects like museum artifacts, archeological sites and galleries.
Withstand Extreme TemperaturesUnder extreme temperature traditional lights are impossible to use they can easily burst and damage the surroundings, even the other energy-saving lighting like fluorescent lamps will give a hard time and most probably will cease to work. LED lighting can work flawlessly under extreme temperature, even in the freezer room.
Instant LightingLED's lights brighten up the place instantly on the flick of a button. This is great advantage as the need for backup lighting eliminated. It also makes it ideal for flashing sign, traffic signals, automotive lighting and many more. On the other hand, conventional lights, take numerous seconds to brighten up and repetitive on/off reduces its life.
Low-VoltageLED's lighting does not consumes much power, it can even light up immediately on low power. You can connect it with solar power unit and get the advantage of free lighting. In the remote and rural areas it is perfect for usage as it will provide bright light even on low voltages.
In spite of these benefits, there are plenty of more benefits that clearly suggest the use of LED lighting is more advantageous than any other. Although they are considerably expensive and can increase your cost but in the long run they are extremely cheap and will save you twice the amount of money you utilized in purchasing them.

The generation of myelinating cells in the central nervous system requires the initiation of specific gene expression programs in oligodendrocytes. We reasoned that microRNAs (miRNAs) could play an important role in this process by regulating crucial developmental genes. Microarray profiling of cultured oligodendrocytes identified the miR-17-92 miRNA cluster as highly enriched in oligodendrocytes. We specifically deleted the miR-17-92 cluster in oligodendrocytes using 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′ phosphodiesterase (Cnp)-Cre mice. Absence of miR-17-92 leads to a reduction in oligodendrocyte number in vivo and we find that the expression of these miRNAs in primary cultures of oligodendrocyte precursor cells promotes cell proliferation by influencing Akt signaling. Together, these results suggest that the miRNA pathway is essential in determining oligodendroglial cell number and that the miR-17-92 cluster is crucial in this process.
Rapid saltatory conduction of axons in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) requires myelin formation by oligodendrocytes (Sherman and Brophy, 2005; Simons and Trotter, 2007). The first step in this process is the generation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) from pluripotent neuroepithelial precursors. OPCs then migrate into the developing white matter until they reach their target axons (Richardson et al., 2006). At their final resting sites, OPCs exit the cell cycle, become non-migratory and differentiate into myelin-forming oligodendrocytes (Rivers et al., 2008; Zhu et al., 2008).
Oligodendrocytes are greatly overproduced and only by competing for the limiting amounts of target-derived growth factors is the cell number adjusted to the number and length of the axons requiring myelination. Several intracellular and extracellular factors, including oligodendrocyte differentiation inhibitors and cell cycle inhibitors, have been shown to regulate oligodendrocyte number (Li et al., 2009).
In this study, we asked whether microRNAs (miRNAs) play a role in this process.
Dicer and miR-17-92 knockout mice
Mice carrying floxed Dicer alleles (Dicerflox/flox) [The Jackson Laboratory (Harfe et al., 2005)] were bred with mice heterozygous for Cre recombinase expression under the control of the Cnp promoter (Cnp+/Cre) (Lappe-Siefke et al., 2003). Offspring with the genotype Dicer+/flox Cnp+/Cre were mated with Dicerflox/flox mice to generate Dicerflox/flox Cnp+/Cre mutant mice. Mice with loxP sites flanking the miR-17-92 cluster (miR-17-92flox/flox) [The Jackson Laboratory (Ventura et al., 2008)] were bred with Cnp+/Cre mice. Offspring with the genotype miR-17-92+/flox Cnp+/Cre were bred with miR-17-92flox/flox mice to obtain miR-17-92 cluster knockout mice (miR-17-92flox/flox Cnp+/Cre). Littermates were used as controls.
Cell culture and transfection
Astrocytes were prepared by trypsinization of mixed glial cultures after shaking of oligodendrocytes. Mouse oligodendrocyte primary cultures and Oli-neu cells were prepared as previously described (Fitzner et al., 2006; Trajkovic et al., 2006). Cells were transfected 4-24 hours after shaking using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen), when cells were in a precursor stage. Transfection efficiency was confirmed using FITC-labeled antisense oligonucleotides (see Fig. S1 in the supplementary material). For the downregulation of specific miRNAs, miRCURY LNA knockdown probes (Exiqon) for miR-17 and miR-19b were used in combination (anti-17-19b). Pre-miR miRNA precursors (Ambion) for miR-17 and miR-19b were used in combination (pre-17-19b). The miRCURY LNA Scramble-miR (Exiqon) and the Pre-miR negative control (Ambion) were used as negative controls.
Immunofluorescence, immunoblotting, BrdU and TUNEL assay
Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry were performed as described previously (Simons et al., 2000). The following antibodies were used: anti-Mbp (Sternberger Monoclonals), anti-O1, anti-Olig2 (IBL), A2B5 (Millipore), anti-Pten, anti-phospho-Akt, anti-Akt (Cell Signaling) and anti-actin (Sigma).
Cell proliferation was measured by detecting the incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU). Cells were grown in 10 ng/ml platelet-derived growth factor (Sigma); BrdU (20 μM) was added 24 hours after shaking and cells fixed 24 hours later.
For inhibition of Akt phosphorylation, 10 μM Akt1/2 kinase inhibitor (Sigma) was added to the culture medium.
Statistical significance was assessed by Student's t-test; P<0.05 was defined as statistically significant.
miRNA microarray
miRCURY LNA microRNA arrays (Exiqon) or mouse miRNA microarrays (G4472A, Agilent Technologies) were used (three replicates for each experiment). The microarray data are deposited in NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus with accession GSE21801.
RNA isolation and real-time quantitative PCR
Expression levels of miR-17, miR-19b, miR-125b and miR-34b were measured by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR). For normalization, internal snoRNA-234 levels were used. The quantitative PCR was performed using the iQ™5 Real-Time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad) and TagMan Universal Master Mix (Applied Biosystems).
Luciferase assay
To monitor the downregulation of miR-19b, the firefly luciferase-based pMiR19b-Luc reporter vector (Signosis) with an miR-19b binding site was used. For normalization, the vector was cotransfected with a Renilla luciferase vector without an miRNA binding site. The luciferase activity of both constructs was determined 48 hours post-transfection.
Reduction of oligodendrocyte cell number by Cnp-Cre-mediated deletion of Dicer
In order to understand the roles of miRNAs in oligodendrocyte development, we deleted Dicer (Dicer1 – Mouse Genome Informatics) using the Cre-loxP recombination system. We used the 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′ phosphodiesterase (Cnp) promoter to drive Cre expression. Cnp is detectable in OPCs at E11.5 to E12 and is maintained in mature oligodendrocytes. When floxed Dicer mice (Dicerflox/flox) were crossed with Cnp-Cre mice (Fig. 1A) we found that out of more than 250 newborns, only three Cnp-Cre Dicerflox/flox (Cnp-Cre-Dicer) survived into adulthood, possibly owing to the expression of Cnp-Cre in the peripheral nervous system (Dugas et al., 2010). Since Cnp-Cre-Dicer mice were detected at a normal ratio at late embryonic stages, we used mice at E18.5 or directly after birth for our analysis.
When primary cultures of oligodendrocytes were prepared from E18.5 Cnp-Cre-Dicer embryos and compared with control littermates, we did not detect any major changes in the number of myelin basic protein (Mbp)-positive cells (Fig. 1G). Next, we analyzed whether the number of oligodendrocytes was changed in Dicer knockout brains by staining coronal P0 sections with antibodies against Olig2. Olig2 is expressed in both OPCs and mature oligodendrocytes and also in some astrocytes (Ono et al., 2008). There was a ∼40% reduction of Olig2-positive cells in the brains of Cnp-Cre-Dicer as compared with control animals (Fig. 1E). Similar results were obtained when Dicer was depleted by RNA interference (RNAi) in primary cultures of oligodendrocytes (see Fig. S2 in the supplementary material). Surprisingly, the numbers of Olig2-positive cells were not altered in the spinal cord of Cnp-Cre-Dicer animals (Fig. 1F), pointing to distinct mechanisms of miRNA action in oligodendrocyte development within the spinal cord and the brain. By TUNEL staining, we found a small increase in apoptotic cells in Dicer knockout brains, but the numbers did not attain statistical significance (Fig. 1H). The number of apoptotic Olig2-positive cells was similar in knockout brains and controls (Fig. 1I).
Identification of the miR-17-92 cluster as highly enriched in oligodendrocytes by microarray profiling
In order to identify the responsible miRNAs, we performed miRNA expression profiling of oligodendrocytes using miRNA microarrays. Oligodendroglia-enriched miRNAs were identified by comparing the expression of miRNAs in primary cultures of oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. First, we compared the mRNA transcriptome of cultured oligodendrocytes and astrocytes to verify that this approach identifies oligodendrocyte-enriched transcripts. Indeed, among the top 20 mRNAs expressed by oligodendrocytes were many of the previously described oligodendroglia-enriched genes (see Table S1 in the supplementary material) (Cahoy et al., 2008).
When the miRNA expression was profiled, we detected 31 miRNAs that were expressed at least 2-fold higher in cultured oligodendrocytes than astrocytes. The 31 miRNAs with the largest differences are shown in Fig. 2B.
Interestingly, the miR-17-92 cluster appeared to be enriched in oligodendrocytes. This cluster consists of six miRNAs that are processed from a common precursor transcript (Mendell, 2008) (Fig. 2D). Furthermore, there are two known paralogs: miR-106a-363 and miR-106b-25 (Tanzer and Stadler, 2004). The miRNAs from the three miRNA clusters can be grouped into four different functional groups based on their seed sequence. Our microarray analysis revealed that four miRNAs of the miR-17-92 cluster and two miRNAs of the miR-106a-363 cluster were enriched in oligodendrocytes (Fig. 2B).
To confirm the miRNA microarray profiling data, we performed real-time PCR analysis of some of the differentially expressed miRNAs: miR-17, miR-19b, miR-125b and miR-34b. The differential expression of all of these miRNAs was confirmed by real-time PCR (Fig. 2C). Most importantly, real-time PCR analysis revealed that the two miRNAs of the miR-17-92 cluster (miR-19b and miR17) were ∼11- to 16-fold enriched in oligodendrocytes as compared with astrocytes (Fig. 2C).
To analyze how the expression of these miRNAs changes during oligodendrocyte differentiation, microarray profiling was performed on cultured oligodendrocytes. The expression of the miR-17-92 cluster was already high in OPCs (see Table S2 in the supplementary material). Only a relatively small number of miRNAs changed in expression during oligodendrocyte differentiation in culture (see Table S3 in the supplementary material).
When the miRNAs were sorted according to their mean signal intensities to identify the most highly expressed miRNAs in oligodendrocytes, we observed that four miRNAs of the miR-17-92 cluster were among the 35 most abundant miRNAs (Fig. 2A).
These data are consistent with a previous microarray analysis that identified miR-17 and miR-20a as highly enriched miRNAs both in A2B5 (ganglioside GQ1c)-positive and GalC-positive cells of the oligodendroglial lineage (Lau et al., 2008).
Together, these data show that the miR-17-92 cluster is one of the most abundant family of miRNAs in oligodendrocytes.
The miR-17-92 cluster regulates oligodendrocyte cell number
Previous studies have shown that the miR-17-92 cluster is essential for the development of the heart, lung and immune system (Mendell, 2008; Ventura et al., 2008; Koralov et al., 2008; Xiao et al., 2008). To address the role of miR-17-92 in oligodendrocyte development, mice with loxP sites flanking the miR-17-92 cluster (miR-17-92flox/flox) were bred with Cnp+/Cre mice to delete the miR-17-92 cluster (miR-17-92flox/flox Cnp+/Cre). We stained coronal P0 sections with antibodies against Olig2 to analyze whether the number of oligodendrocytes was changed in miR-17-92flox/flox Cnp+/Cre knockout brains. There was a ∼25% reduction of Olig2-positive cells in the brains after miR-17-92 deletion, as compared with control animals (Fig. 1D,J).
To address the mechanism of miR-17-92 action in oligodendrocytes, we expressed miR-17 and miR-19b in the oligodendroglial cell line, Oli-neu. Overexpression of miR-17-19b resulted in a greater number of Oli-neu cells (Fig. 3A). Conversely, in a loss-of-function approach using antisense oligonucleotides, the cell number decreased. To efficiently interfere with the function of the miR-17-92 cluster, oligonucleotides directed against miR-17 and miR-19b were combined in order to target different functional groups of the miR-17-92 cluster. Similar results were obtained when the experiments were performed with primary cultures of oligodendrocytes (Fig. 3B,C). The delivery of the oligonucleotides into the cells was confirmed by a luciferase-based assay and real-time PCR (see Figs S3 and S4 in the supplementary material). Overexpression of miR-17-19b increased, whereas the antisense treatment reduced, the number of oligodendrocytes. The number of A2B5-, oligodendrocyte marker O1- and Mbp-positive oligodendrocytes changed to a similar degree, suggesting that the differentiation of oligodendrocytes was not impaired (Fig. 3D-F).
The changes in oligodendrocyte cell number upon miR-17-19b overexpression could indicate a role in the regulation of cell proliferation and/or cell survival. To distinguish between these two possibilities, we established an oligodendrocyte survival assay based on the withdrawal of growth factors. When oligodendrocytes are switched to serum-free medium without supplemental growth factors (–B27), ∼80% of the cells die within 48 hours by apoptosis (Fig. 4A). As previously shown, the addition of insulin or neuron-conditioned medium almost completely prevents cell death (Fig. 4A) (Barres et al., 1992). In order to determine whether miR-17-19b is able to rescue oligodendrocytes from apoptosis, miR-17-19b precursors were expressed in OPCs before growth factor deprivation. However, a rescue by miR-17-19b from cell death was not observed (Fig. 4B). Next, we tested whether insulin or neuron-conditioned medium, which efficiently protects oligodendrocytes from cell death, induced miR-17-19b expression. By real-time PCR we did not detect any differences in the level of miR-17 or miR-19b upon addition of insulin or conditioned neuronal medium (data not shown). Furthermore, the number of apoptotic cells did not change after transfection of miR-17-19b precursors, as evaluated by TUNEL staining (Fig. 4C; see Fig. S5 in the supplementary material). Together, these data argue against a role of miR-17-19b in regulating oligodendrocyte survival.
In order to resolve whether miR-17-19b functions in the regulation of oligodendroglial cell proliferation, we performed BrdU assays. BrdU was incorporated for 24 hours into OPCs that had been transfected with the miR-19b or control miRNA 4 hours after plating. Cells were fixed and the incorporation of BrdU into DNA was detected using a monoclonal antibody against BrdU. We found that the expression of miR-19b significantly increased the OPC proliferation rate, as compared with the control miRNA (Fig. 4D).
We searched for negative regulators of cell proliferation using Gene Ontology (www.geneontology.org) (242 gene products) that were also computationally predicted targets of miR-19 [TargetScanS (www.targetscan.org) and PicTar (pictar.mdc-berlin.de)]. Among the three targets (Ereg, Pten and Smarca2), the tumor suppressor Pten seemed to be of particular importance, owing to its known function in regulating oligodendrocyte development (Barros et al., 2009; Narayanan et al., 2009). Overexpression of miR-19b resulted in a reduction of Pten protein levels in OPCs (Fig. 4E) (Olive et al., 2009). Furthermore, transfection of miR-19b into OPCs led to activation of Akt signaling, an essential downstream target of Pten. We observed increased phosphorylation of Akt, without affecting overall levels of Akt (Fig. 4F). In addition, incubating OPCs with the Akt1/2 kinase inhibitor reduced cell proliferation (Fig. 4D). Importantly, the increase in cell proliferation induced by miR-19b overexpression was blocked by the Akt kinase inhibitor. The effects of miR-19b are thus at least in part explained by the inactivation of Pten, which in turns stimulates cell proliferation and growth by Akt signaling.
In summary, we provide evidence that the miR-17-92 cluster miRNA family is enriched in cells of the oligodendroglial lineage and is involved in the control of oligodendrocyte number by regulating their proliferation. The effects of the miR-17-92 knockdown in oligodendrocytes are strikingly similar to the phenotype observed after the conditional loss of Dicer using a Cnp-Cre line (Fig. 1). Dicer deletion reduces oligodendroglial cell number in the brain of P0 mice. It is interesting to compare our Cnp-Cre-Dicer mice with recently developed Nestin-Cre-Dicer mice, in which Dicer is depleted throughout the entire CNS (Kawase-Koga et al., 2009). Most of these mice die at an early embryonic stage and the few that survive until E18.5 have a lower number of cortical neurons and oligodendrocytes. Importantly, recent reports show that miRNAs also play a role in oligodendrocyte differentiation (Dugas et al., 2010; Zhao et al., 2010). Deletion of Dicer in oligodendrocytes using Olig1-Cre or Olig2-Cre results in an inhibition of oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelin formation (Dugas et al., 2010; Zhao et al., 2010). miR-219 and miR-338 were identified as oligodendrocyte-specific miRNAs that repress negative regulators of oligodendrocyte differentiation, including transcription factors such as Sox6. Interestingly, an expansion of the progenitor pool was observed at P7 and P14 when Dicer was deleted using an Olig2-Cre line. These results suggest that miRNAs control the expression of transcription factors that are crucial for oligodendrocyte differentiation, and they seem to be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation at earlier stages of development. Furthermore, post-natal Dicer ablation in mature oligodendrocytes using a Plp-Cre line results in another interesting phenotype, consisting of an inflammatory response and neuronal damage (Shin et al., 2009).
Together, these studies provide evidence for miRNAs as important regulators of oligodendrocyte development. Our work establishes the role of the miR-17-92 cluster in regulating oligodendrocyte proliferation and provides a resource for future studies on miRNA function in oligodendrocytes.

"Add eggshells, tea bags, coffee grounds and veg peelings to your green layers."
The smell of a freshly mowed lawn is one of summer's special delights, and making compost from the cuttings is a treat for those trying to live a green life. The compost can then be used to improve the soil and benefit plants.
However, making compost is not that easy as grass clippings do not turn into compost by themselves, says Berry Everitt, chief executive of the Chas Everitt International property group.
Experts suggest grass cuttings be spread out to dry in the sun for at least a day before being adding to a compost heap. Then layer them with brown material (dried leaves, coarse straw, mielie cobs, sawdust, ash, shredded newspaper and cardboard) in a ratio of about two-parts brown to one-part green.
"Add eggshells, tea bags, coffee grounds and veg peelings to your green layers," Everitt says.
"To speed up the process, keep the contents of the bin or heap damp (not wet) and turn the mix with a garden fork every couple of weeks.
