The publicist brought us some treats the other day - some pine tree branches! I love pine needles. They are so tasty.
Don't the green branches look nice against my fur?
They make my breath piney fresh!
I think I could eat pine branches all day long. Yummy!
OK. I just want to eat my pine now...enough with the photos.
Seriously! NO MORE PHOTOS!

Justification of Red List Category
This species has been uplisted to Near Threatened as it almost meets the requirements for listing as threatened under criteria A2ab+3b+4ab. It has an extremely large range and population size, and the largest flyway population increased strongly between the 1960s and 1990s but subsequently declined moderately rapidly. The recent decline may be part of a longer-term fluctuation and the population should be monitored carefully to ascertain whether it shows signs of stabilising. None of the remaining flyway populations have increased. There is some new information that suggests that actions to benefit the species, such as limiting mechanical shellfishery operations, are not leading to population recoveries, and so the species may merit uplisting to a higher threat category in the future.
Population justification
The global population is estimated to number c. 1,004,000-1,160,000 individuals (Wetlands International 2012). The European population is estimated at 284,000-354,000 pairs, which equates to 568,000-708,000 mature individuals (BirdLife International 2015).
Trend justification
The overall population trend is decreasing. The ostralegus and finschi populations are reported to be declining (Wetlands International 2012, Nagy et al. 2014, Sagar and Veitch 2014, van de Pol et al. 2014, van Roomen et al. 2014a, BirdLife International 2015). The population of ostralegus increased strongly between the 1960s and the 1990s (van de Pol et al. 2014), but has subsequently declined significantly, at a rate exceeding 40% over three generations. The longipes population is reported to be stable (Sarychev and Mischenko 2014, van Roomen et al. 2014b) and the trend for the osculans population is unknown (Melville et al. 2014). Recent declines in the H. o. ostralegus population may however be part of a longer-term fluctuation. Mechanical shellfisheries operations have been severely restricted in the Netherlands (van de Pol et al. 2014), however, there has not been a concomitant halt in the population decline despite food stocks recovering (M. van de Pol in litt. 2016). Further information is needed though to confirm whether the population may reach stability in the future or if it will continue to decline. Because of this uncertainty, the rate of decline is currently placed in the band 20-29% in three generations although the current rate appears to be higher.
The species has a wide range comprising four flyway populations. H. o. ostralegus breeds from Iceland and Scandinavia east to north-west Russia, south through U.K. to north-west France, with isolated populations in the Mediterranean, and winters on coasts south to West Africa. H. o. longipes breeds from west and central Russia south to the Black, Caspian and Aral Seas, and east to western Siberia, and winters on coasts from East Africa through Arabia to India; H. o. osculans breeds from coastal north-east Russia through Manchuria to the west and south coasts of the Korean Peninsula south to Fujian province, China, and winters in eastern China and along the west coast of the Korean Peninsula (more than 50% of the population is thought to winter at just one site, Yubu Island, South Korea and a further 25% are thought to winter at Lianyunggang, Jiangsu, China; Melville et al. 2014). H. o. finschi breeds and winters in New Zealand (Hockey et al. 2013). Two thirds of the H. o. finschi population winter in the northern half of the North Island, while breeding is confined to the South Island, mainly east of the Southern Alps (Sagar and Veitch 2014).
The species breeds on coastal saltmarshes, sand and shingle beaches, dunes, cliff-tops with short grass and occasionally rocky shores, as well as inland along the shores of lakes, reservoirs and rivers or on agricultural grass and cereal fields, often some distance from water (Hayman et al. 1986, del Hoyo et al. 1996). Outside of the breeding season the species is chiefly coastal, frequenting estuarine mudflats, saltmarshes and sandy and rocky shores (del Hoyo et al. 1996). The nest is a shallow scrape on the ground often on raised surfaces (e.g. earth banks) in the open or in short vegetation on cultivated or uncultivated land, cliff-tops, rocky outcrops or clearings in taller vegetation including woods and moorland (Hayman et al. 1986, del Hoyo et al. 1996, Snow and Perrins 1998).
Most populations of this species are fully migratory, inland breeders moving to the coast for the winter (del Hoyo et al. 1996). The species breeds from April to July (Hayman et al. 1986) in solitary pairs or small groups (Flint et al. 1984), during the winter foraging singly or in small groups of up to 10 individuals (Snow and Perrins 1998) and with larger flocks often forming in major bays and estuaries and at roosting sites (Hayman et al. 1986, del Hoyo et al. 1996, Snow and Perrins 1998). When foraging on soft intertidal substrates bivalves and gastropods are the most important food items for this species (del Hoyo et al. 1996). Polychaetes and crustaceans are more important in estuaries however, and molluscs (e.g. mussels, limpets and whelks) are most important on rocky shores (del Hoyo et al. 1996). When inland, prey such as earthworms and insect larvae (e.g. caterpillars and cranefly larvae) are also taken (del Hoyo et al. 1996).
The main threat to the species is the over-fishing of benthic shellfish and the resulting disappearance of intertidal mussel and cockle beds (Atkinson et al. 2003, Verhulst et al. 2004, Ens 2006, van de Pol et al. 2014). Bait digging has also been identified as a threat through loss of prey species and disturbance to the benthic fauna (van de Pol et al. 2014). The species is also threatened by habitat degradation on its wintering grounds due to land reclamation (for example in the Yellow Sea [Melville et al. 2014]), pollution, human disturbance (Kelin and Qiang 2006) (e.g. from construction work or recreational activities [Burton et al. 2002, van de Pol et al. 2014]), coastal barrage construction (Burton 2006), industrial development including development of ports and oil extraction, oil spills, wind farms (Melville et al. 2014) and reduced river flows (Kelin and Qiang 2006). Rapid and extensive land reclamation is reported from staging and wintering grounds for the osculans population in South Korea and China and large-scale planting of Spartina alterniflora on the coast of eastern China may cause loss of foraging and nesting habitats (Melville et al. 2014). Intensive agriculture including frequent mowing of grasslands and high densities of grazing livestock threatens chicks, eggs and nests and high levels of fertilizers and pesticides can reduce soil invertebrate biomass (van de Pol et al. 2014). A reduction in eutrophication is likely to have contributed to declines in some areas, owing to a loss of food resources (van de Pol et al. 2014, H. Meltofte in litt. 2015).
Sea level rise leading to increased coastal erosion and flooding is contributing to habitat loss in some areas (Melville et al. 2014, van de Pol et al. 2014). Climate change has advanced the average egg-laying date of the species and is likely to reduce recruitment of bivalves, however warmer winters are expected to benefit the species leading to lower winter mortality (van de Pol et al. 2014). Droughts in some inland areas are likely to lead to a loss of suitable habitat (Melville et al. 2014, Sarychev and Mischenko 2014).
The species is hunted in France but the effects of hunting at the population level are not known (van de Pol et al. 2014). It may be subject to subsistence egg collection in China (Melville et al, 2014) and illegal hunting elsewhere (Sarychev and Mischenko 2014). Eggs and chicks are known to be predated by Corvidae, gulls, American Mink Neovison vison, dogs and foxes Vulpes vulpes (Sarychev and Mischenko 2014). The invasive Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas has become abundant in the Oosterschelde (Netherlands) and is increasing in the Dutch Wadden Sea (van de Pol et al. 2014). Eurasian Oystercatcher generally does not eat this species of oyster which is reported to be invading mussel beds and may compete with cockles and mussels thus reducing food availability. However Pacific Oyster beds could also provide an area for mussel beds to re-establish. The species is susceptible to avian influenza so may be threatened by future outbreaks of the virus (Melville and Shortridge 2006).
Breeding range expansion of the finschi population has increased the likelihood of hybridisation with Variable Oystercatcher H. unicolor (Sagar and Veitch 2014). In the northern part of the longipes population breeding range, cessation of grazing in coastal areas leading to development of shrubby vegetation threatens breeding habitats (Sarychev and Mischenko 2014). Conversely, intensive grazing in some areas may pose a threat to this population. Pollution from sewage, heavy metals and organochlorine pesticides have been identified as potential threats for the osculans population (Melville et al. 2014).
Conservation and Research Actions Underway
The species is listed on Annex II (B) of the EU Birds Directive. It is protected by the Wildlife Act 1953 in New Zealand (Sagar and Veitch 2014). Mechanical shellfisheries operations have been severely restricted in the Netherlands (van de Pol et al. 2014).
Conservation and Research Actions Proposed
Shellfish fishing at wintering and stop-over habitats needs to be sustainably managed. Ensure key habitat for the species is protected, including implementation of international agreements and ensure legislation protecting the species is enforced. Removing large numbers of gulls (e.g. Larus argentatus and Larus fuscus) from islands may attract higher breeding numbers of the species but may not improve the overall breeding conditions (Harris and Wanless 1997). There is also evidence that the creation of large marine protected areas (MPAs) to protect this species from the threat of anthropogenic shellfish over-fishing may not be an effective management or conservation technique on a global scale, especially if over-fishing continues to occur in adjacent areas (Verhulst et al. 2004). Limit human activities in some areas to prevent disturbance (van de Pol et al. 2014). Limit hunting in France when cold weather pushes large numbers of birds into France (van de Pol et al. 2014). Increase awareness of the species. Support traditional farming methods that benefit the species in the range of the longipes population (Sarychev and Mischenko 2014).
Monitor populations at wintering and breeding areas throughout its range, and record breeding success. Introduce frequent standardised surveys, particularly in the Nordic countries (van de Pol et al. 2014). Research breeding distribution of the osculans population, conduct ringing studies to understand migratory patterns and investigate why Yubu Island in South Korea and southern Shandong/northern Jiangsu in China are key sites for the species (Melville et al, 2014). Identify stopover sites and wintering areas for the longipes population (Sarychev and Mischenko 2014). Undertake population monitoring at breeding and wintering sites in New Zealand to understand habitat use and identify potential threats and suitable management interventions for the species (Sagar and Veitch 2014). Assess impacts of land reclamation on the species in South Korea and China (Melville et al. 2014). Further research is needed to investigate the cause of declines in areas such as Germany and Denmark, to model the potential effects of climate change on the species, assess the impact of human disturbance and to look at population dynamics (van de Pol et al. 2014).
Nominate ostralegus 40-47.5 cm, finschi c. 46 cm. Breeding adult has black head, neck, upper breast, scapulars, upperwing coverts and tail (Hockey et al. 2013). White middle and lower back, rump, uppertail coverts, lower breast and belly. Broad white wingbar from inner secondaries to middle primaries. Red eye and eye-ring. Bill orange-red. Legs pink. Bill length of Palearctic races increases from west to east: ostralegus (male 76 mm, female 81 mm); longipes (male 78 mm, female 89 mm); osculans (male 99 mm, female 96 mm) (Hockey et al. 2013). Female slightly larger than male with longer, thinner bill. Juvenile resembles adult. Races mainly differ on bill length, and extent of white wingbar. Similar species Pied Oystercatcher H. longirostris has narrower white wingbar which does not extend onto primaries. American Oystercatcher H. palliatus has yellow eye and blackish brown dorsal colouration. Magellanic Oystercatcher H. leucopodus has yellow eye and almost wholly white secondaries. Voice Most commonly heard call a repeated over-slurred piping whistle, peep or kleep. Also makes piping whistles in display.

Sprinting towards state
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

Individually they may not be fastest, but together the 4×400 relay
With a time of 3:17.1, the boys 4×400 relay including Christian Palmer, Isaiah Palmer, Daniel Lescay, and Jordan Jones, are ranked number six nationally. But for them, your mentality is just as important as practice.
"While running, you're not really thinking about anything other than either staying in first or catching the dude that you need to go catch," junior Jordan Jones said. "After winning the race, hearing what happened, we were pretty excited, we know that even after that, that didn't mean taking a break, that meant work harder and keep staying on top."
we know that even after that, that didn't mean taking a break, that meant work harder and keep staying on top,"
— junior Jordan Jones
During the race, the athletes were unaware of the potential they had for being ranked.
"I'm the first leg so when I went out to run I wasn't really focused on a record or anything," senior Daniel Lescay said. "I was just focused on getting out and getting my team a lead and that's all that mattered to me, nothing else just getting a lead for my team."
Preparing for a race can be nerve racking but the runners focused on the race, and the race only.
"Before running I might have been nervous and kind of excited at the same time, but while I was running, my head was clear," Lescay said.
In many events, track is an individual sport where you hold yourself accountable, but for the 4×400 relay these athletes must rely on each other in order to be successful.
"It was intense, just a lot of adrenaline going, but the only goal in mind is just keep going hard for our team and keep us in first," junior Christian Palmer said.
With the clock as their motivation, the runner's focused on their speed and helping their time.
"During the race I was thinking that I needed to keep the lead and even gain more ground in the race," senior Isaiah Palmer said. "At that point, I knew we were going to win it but we were racing against the clock and not against an opponent. I just wanted to finish strong and get a good time."
we were racing against the clock and not against an opponent,"
— senior Isaiah Palmer
However this was not the end goal, but merely a milestone on their road to state.
"It was pretty exciting definitely just to know that we were up there in the best of the country but definitely after a while we didn't want to stay complacent," Christian said. "We wanted to keep working hard knowing that we could get better."
In his last year, Isaiah has not stopped working to improve even more.
"For me, we have been to regionals all three years, and have gotten really close to going to state, but we haven't actually gotten to state," Isaiah said. "The motivation is just that this is my last year and we need to go to state."
Although practice doesn't make perfect, these athletes have left no room for laziness.
"They work pretty hard as far as all the stuff we have to do the high demand of pressure that we put on them. As far as the workouts and being up at six o'clock in the morning till staying here till five," head boys track coach Chip Gregory said. "Obviously the hard work and dedication those guys put in is starting to pay off."
Nothing comes close to the feeling of being placed as one of the best of the best.
"Just knowing that we became the best at that time, you have the mindset that other schools see that and that pushes them to work harder to become the best," Jones said. "Which when you think about that, that should push you and drive you to work harder. Your excited at the time, but in the long run you're going to work harder and harder to stay on top."
This doesn't mean a break for these athletes because there is always areas needing improvement.
"Keep being tough on them, keep putting that pressure on them, knowing that somebody is right behind them," Gregory said. "The easiest way is really just to keep pushing and keep changing things up and making them adapt to it.

Power fully restored
Power fully restored
Cresco, IA | Rushford, MN (4 p.m. April 13, 2019)— MiEnergy Cooperative is pleased to announce that all power outages related to Winter Storm Westley have been restored as of 2 p.m.
The four-day restoration event began Wednesday evening as the storm rolled west through MiEnergy's service territory. The cooperative recorded over 5,000 electric service interruptions and 110 broken distribution poles. Four broken transmission poles led to seven substations without power.
Ice buildup on distribution lines, poles, crossarms and equipment combined with wind toppled electric lines.
MiEnergy responded by working around the clock on Wednesday, followed by 18-hour days on Thursday and Friday.
"Our lineworkers, operations department and administrative staff did an amazing job of managing the storm restoration and safely restoring electric power," said President/CEO Brian Krambeer. "I'm very proud of our employees and the outstanding work they accomplished. It's an incredible group of employees."
Dairyland Power Cooperative, MiEnergy's wholesale power provider, provided vital restoration efforts to replace the broken high-voltage transmission poles to bring back power to the substations. Transmission lines are the main arteries bringing power to MiEnergy's substations, which allows the co-op to then deliver power to rural homes, farms and businesses on its distribution lines.
"We are equally grateful for all the support that our employees received from our membership. The positive comments and support truly energized our team through this disaster recovery," added Krambeer.
MiEnergy was fortunate that its electrical contractor Tjader & Highstrom was to begin work April 15 as part of the cooperative's summer construction contract. What was supposed to be one crew, grew to three once the storm hit. The added assistance and equipment proved to be extremely valuable. Equally beneficial was the delivery of distribution poles the week prior for summer construction projects, which provided the necessary inventory for the storm.
This is one of the largest storms, if not the largest, we've had run through our service area in Minnesota. It's extremely rare that the cooperative doesn't get power restored within 24 hours and it had to make a difficult call for crews to come in the last two nights knowing members would be without electricity overnight. Keeping employees safe meant pulling crews in shortly after dark and regrouping early the next day.
"It is amazing to supervise employees that when you compliment them for going above and beyond, they are so humble and nonchalant about it. They respond back by saying, 'no problem, just doing my job.' This is after working an 18-hour plus day out in the field or in the office. They are truly an outstanding workforce that is willing to help out where ever and whenever it is necessary," said Chad Chaffee, vice president of Minnesota system operations.
While power has been temporarily restored, it will take weeks to cleanup and transfer temporary fixes into permanent ones. Broken power poles and line equipment in the rights-of-way will be cleaned up by the cooperative or its contractor. The co-op will also begin the process of working with county and state disaster recovery personnel to document and report damages to our infrastructure in hopes of state and federal declarations of disaster and recovery of costs. MiEnergy is all too familiar with both the state and federal disaster recovery process. The flood of 2007 in Minnesota and the ice storm of 2007 in Iowa were both state and federal disaster declarations.
If a member's power does go out, they are encouraged to call 800-432-2285 to report the outage. Crews will continue to be available through the remainder of the weekend.

I've been using a php powered cms system by webassist corp to have clients be able to add and modify content on their websites. It recently went up in price, but it is a bit nicer than the older versions. So if you want to be able to modify your static sites ( any site that is not a wordpress site for example ) I can still recommend it, but it costs a bit more. I generally don't charge that much for installation, since its mostly upload time anyway, but the effort comes into play when the client decides to modify or have the ability to modify all their pages in all regions of each page. To do that requires some effort on my part, so called development time, and that is where the labor fee comes in. Generally I still believe the SEO ( search engine optimization ) for static sites is better than that for wordpress sites, but that may change, as the plugins for WP for SEO purposes are getting smarter, but they also require effort as well. Nothing is simple and straightforward, and does definitely require monitoring, research, comparison and competitive strategies, especially for the more difficult industry niches.
Of course having the CMS is just the first step. The client needs to take advantage of it, and learn to write or change text on a regular basis ( weekly is good, daily is better ) to let google know about its fresh content, as well as the update to the xml sitemap, to let google know about the fresh content as well.

inspiration, life, Paris, positivity, sping cleaning, travel
It might seem I'm a bit late on this. I have let it go for a while. It might not be a huge surprise from the time I spend writing for this blog and complaining about the work I have to do that I haven't spent a ton of time cleaning recently. I still have some homework to do, too, of course, but I figured this would be a productive form of procrastination.
The past few months have been tough. I've figured out who I am and what I want, for now. The growing process has been very challenging, but I guess that's kind of what it feels like sometimes. The clarity and commitment to my values I feel now is kind of worth it though. And it might just be that I'm getting through it and not "excelling" in my studies as I did in the past, but I am learning to be less of a perfectionnist and I can't say I haven't learned a ton about life and myself and matured a good deal. not to say I don't occasionally whine and act like a baby, but really, I've come pretty far and the journey has changed me. And, certainly very important, I've met some amazing people along the way.
There's a lot of inessential that it's come time to through away, to release it so I can be free.
There are some things worth holding on to, that are dearer than ever.
And even though I haven't seen the whole world yet, I've figured out where I want to be. I'm working on getting there, with the grace of God, a little help from my friends, and hopefully a bit of luck.
But in the meaitime it's important not only to clean my room, but to clean up my mind. To throw out the old negative beliefs thar aren't serving me, the paranoid fears, the self recrimination, and everything that's not helping me grow, whether it helps or hurts my ego. To do that stupid acconting review, fold my laundry, change the sheets, and believe that the little things are what yget you into Heaven, on this earth and beyond it.
To Paris, A bientot!
To you mes cheris dear readwea, all my love!

1979 — now, a look back.
1979 — now, a look into the rear view mirror.
Ever since Paco Lindsay first rolled up the garage doors at his house on Church Street and opened Truckee River Bicycle Repair Shop in 79', progression has kept steady pace. In 1981, the first 'legit' bike shop opened, just one block away from his garage. At the time, it was just a summer business that lead to a second midtown location in 1987.
Then, in 1992, the rise in Nordic ski popularity, and Lindsay's own passion for Nordic skiing, lead to a viable year-round business focused on selling Nordic ski gear in the winter and bicycles in the summer.
Throughout the years, no matter what Lindsay wanted to call his shop, it was always referred to as Pacos. Eventually, he made it official and the name stuck. In 2006, Russell Hamby expressed interest in taking ownership of the shop. It wasn't until the summer of 2016, now in its current location near Donner Lake, when Paco Lindsay knew it was time to go seek out some new rides and by year end, he retired.
"I get misty talking about it because it's just perfect. Russell is like family to me. I knew him when he was 14, a phenom kid in Sacramento taking down everyone at the races." — Lindsay
The story behind the shop epitomizes the mantra "Living the dream." Building a community focused business fueled by deep passion and love for sport. It may sound simple to some, but it's not. It takes grit, hard work, compromise, risk, long hours between long rides… sound familiar? Maybe this is why Hamby feels at home running the shop, due to his track record of keeping the rubber side down, more often than not.

Sourced from Fast Company
When the oldest restaurant in San Francisco was built in 1861, it sat on the waterfront of a creek, serving seafood caught in the neighborhood. The restaurant hasn't moved, but the creek was buried underground in a culvert nearby, and the marsh that once surrounded the area has been developed, built on debris from the 1906 earthquake. The building now sits on Bayshore Boulevard, a street with several lanes of traffic, sandwiched between two freeways and across from a gas station and a parking lot.
The neighborhood is one of the parts of the Bay Area most at risk from flooding from rising sea levels and severe storms and from earthquakes. It's also one of nine areas reimagined by teams of architects and designers in a year-long competition to create a "blueprint of resilience" for the region (largely focused on climate change and sea level rise, but focused on earthquakes, as well). The proposal for the area, located in an industrial corner of southeastern San Francisco, suggests partially uncovering the creek, both to better deal with flooding and to bring green space to a part of the city that lacks it.
The competition, Resilient by Design, was inspired by the Rebuild by Design challenge held in New York City after Hurricane Sandy, and funded largely by the Rockefeller Foundation, which also helped fund the work in New York. "We thought, can we do something similar, but before we have a big natural disaster?" says Amanda Brown-Stevens, managing director of Resilient by Design. "Can we proactively think about bringing in design in a creative way to help us reduce flood risk in the future?"
Billions of dollars' worth of property in the Bay Area is at risk from rising sea levels, including infrastructure like San Francisco's international airport. As some parts of the city sink, one recent study found that even more land is at risk than previously thought. The low-lying communities that are most at risk as the water rises also tend to have other challenges, including poverty, asthma, and other health issues from pollution, and an increased risk of earthquake damage, especially in areas that were built on rubble on former marshes. The designers looked at resilience holistically–not just how infrastructure might reduce flooding, but how communities could become stronger to bounce back when floods inevitably happen. They also looked at solutions beyond simple seawalls, which can't prevent flooding if part of the problem is coming from stormwater and high groundwater.

Lenovo's coming out with a special "retro" ThinkPad soon …
Orca knows more . 🙂 No shit, I've heard from other sources that the Retro model, called ThinkPad25, is based on the T470, will have a 14″ full HD touchscreen, a dedicated GeForce 940MX graphics card and Intel Core i7-7500U processor. But that's all just industry standard these days, no? And I can live without all that stuff. Seriously, a touchscreen on a laptop? I can really think of much more comfortable ways to move the cursor on a computer screen. IBM's very own invention of the Red Rubber "Ratzefummel" thingy for example. It had reached perfection long before overthinking and overengeneering psychotics came up with stupid trackpads. Anyhoo, it is what it is. It's the stupidity enhacing times we live in.
But what I find much more important for my style of work is that this ThinkPad features a classic keyboard, not that fashionable chickenshit stuff. Also the blue Enter key, although of purely psychological use, is a funny addition to the otherwise very subdued, professional design.
In other words, this laptop reminds me in a positive sense of the original IBM ThinkPads of yesteryear. Should be available in limited numbers from October 2017 on. Now we only have to clear up the riddle behind the ThinkPad25 name: The ThinkPad brand tuns 25 in October. So this will be the burfdai model. 😉

Air New Zealand has increased its fleet size just over 50% in the last decade. The airline is able to rely more heavily on its Boeing 787-9s—the most recent arrived in July and two more are due in 2017—and 777-300ERs, reports Aviation Week & Space Technology. Twenty-eight Airbus A320-200s have also joined the fleet, up from only one in mid-2006.

Summer Missions: Crystal Boutwell
Wesley Worship
I spent my summer on a little island in Savannah, Georgia interning with the youth group of Isle of Hope United Methodist Church. Those two months were both the most mentally and physically exhausting yet spiritually rewarding months of my life. On paper, my job meant planning and executing the big trips of the summer, leading Sunday school and youth group, along with the day-to-day operations of a youth ministry like writing notes to or getting lunch with kids. In reality, my job meant jamming to Disney music, eating Chic Fil A every other day, and getting kicked out of malls.
The youth director that I worked with gave his interns the opportunity to let our voices be heard in all the decisions of youth this summer and I appreciate that because it allowed me to see the background music that makes up youth ministry. This summer shaped me and my vision of the church in so many ways. Spending that much time with teenagers made me fearless in not only words but in faith. The biggest thing I took away from this summer is that although in the adult church we love for things to be clean and presentable—especially our sanctuaries and fellowship halls—but teenagers (and let's be honest most adults) aren't clean and presentable—especially those we are called to minister to. If we are to be a church with open doors and hearts, we can't be afraid to get messy and allow messy people into our lives and buildings.

Is It Domestic Violence?
Domestic Violence is a pattern of assaultive and controlling behaviors, including physical, sexual and psychological attacks, that one intimate partner does to another. Domestic violence is a purposeful behavior directed at achieving compliance from or control over their partner.
Do They?
• Controls finances, daily activities, relationships with others, or any other aspects of your personal life
• Calls you names, verbally put you down, embarrasses you, yells, or threatens you
• Tells you that you're a bad parent and threatens to take away or harm your children or your pets
• Acts like the abuse are no big deal, says it's your fault or denies the abuse.
• Physically harms you in any manner.
More about domestic violence:
Anyone can be abusive and anyone can be the victim of abuse. It happens regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, race or economic background. People abuse their partners because they believe they have the right to control their partner. It is a choice people make and it all goes back to power and control. It does not occur because of alcohol, drugs, stress, or because someone made them. Domestic violence takes a negative toll on the whole family and those around the individuals involved. Jobs are lost and health problems are also a concern due to domestic violence.
Domestic violence takes a huge financial toll. The cost of intimate partner violence is more than $5.8 billion every year, including $4.1 billion in direct health care expenses. (wwwdcadv.org)
Domestic Violence Facts:
Retrieved from http://ncadv.org/learn-more/statistics
– On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men.
– 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of [some form of] physical violence by an intimate partner within their lifetime.
– 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men have been victims of severe physical violence by an intimate partner in their lifetime.
– 1 in 7 women and 1 in 18 men have been stalked by an intimate partner during their lifetime to the point in which they felt very fearful or believed that they or someone close to them would be harmed or killed.
– On a typical day, there are more than 20,000 phone calls placed to domestic violence hotlines nationwide.
– The presence of a gun in a domestic violence situation increases the risk of homicide by 500%.
– Intimate partner violence accounts for 15% of all violent crime.
– Women between the ages of 18-24 are most commonly abused by an intimate partner.
– 19% of domestic violence involves a weapon.
– Domestic victimization is correlated with a higher rate of depression and suicidal behavior.
– Only 34% of people who are injured by intimate partners receive medical care for their injuries.
These are just some of the indicators of domestic violence. Please speak with an advocate about what is happening in your relationship. Contact Us

I just adore chunky knits and corduroy and the best time of year to buy all those types of clothes is autumn! The shops are literally teaming with them, I mean I get excited about getting a new coat or boots all of which 00Steve thinks I don't need more of which is just ridiculous! Of course I do!
So when it hits the end of September and the beginning of October I literally can't wait to go shopping and that says something because I literally despise going shopping, in that respect I am NOT a girly girl at all! But I went to the shopping centre on payday weekend without the kids and just poured over all the new season clothes. I was so pleased about all the oranges, yellows, greens and reds that were everywhere and I got so happy. Especially when I saw them in skirts as well as the coats and knits. My autumn clothes must haves are:
- a new coat as you don't want anything too heavy or warm for the days that it is still clinging onto the warmer weather
- Chelsea boots! I adore Chelsea boots
- chunky knits in dresses, jumpers and cardigans – you officially can't have too many
- high waisted jeans
- high waisted leggings – I LIVE in leggings most of the year as they are so comfortable on my stoma
- mini skirts teamed with chunky knit tights in ALL the colours is also pretty perfect for a stoma
So the items I have bought recently are a camel coloured 80's style coat, chunky cardigan, chunky red knit dress, 3x leggings, chunky tights, purple tartan skirt, a mauve long sleeve t-shirt, PJ's (because everyone loves a snuggly set of PJ's), yellow corduroy skirt and of course some Chelsea boots. The cardigan was an absolute necessity as 17 year old me saw it and literally screamed saying "Buy it! You NEED that in your life!" and of course I was like "Yes 17 year old me I DO need that in my life!" so I bought it and it was the best decision I made!
When it comes to this amazing season you just want to feel cosy and that's where chunky knits come in but stylish at the same time which is why I always buy some new boots and a coat because they can transform any outfit that you put on! Leggings go with absolutely anything and are perfect for ostomates as so many come higher up the torso now and don't cost a fortune. What are the things you can't live without when the weather is turning cooler but still doesn't know what it is playing at all the time?

To start your going to need something to puree the food. If you have a food processor at your home, that's perfect to use. I started out with a small grinder, it's perfect if your going to be doing something quick for that day. I didn't know if I would like making the baby food so I didn't want to end up wasting money. I use this for now to make all the baby food. Believe me when I tell you at the end my arm hurts! So hopefully I'll be able to upgrade to the Baby Bullet soon. The Baby Bullet is a another way to puree it does the same job as a food processor but smaller. The good thing about this is it comes with all the storage containers you can refrigerate and freeze all the food you make. This is a popular one among moms. The Baby Brezza is a system that I've been looking at as well. It steams and purees all in one bowl, this would save so much time. It's the most costly of the three, costing about $100.00 on Amazon, but saving time is always a plus.

|Baby Brezza $100.00 on Amazon
|Cuisinart food processor $35.00 on Amazon
For the first couple months all fruits and veggies should be cooked. Either by steaming, boiling, or baking. I suggest taking a look at my favorite baby food website they have tons of information on which foods should be steamed, boiled, or baked. If you are steaming you can use a food steamer or what I use is a colander inside a large pot of boiling water.
Once your fruits or veggies are cooked your going to puree them into the consistency that right for your baby. You can thin out your puree with water/breast milk/formula or thicken with cereal. I would suggest you do this before you freeze your puree. Once the puree is completely done I use ice cube trays to freeze them. Cover the trays in plastic wrap and place into the freezer. I normally will do enough food to fill 2 trays. Once the puree is frozen you can remove them and place in Ziploc freezer bag. Make sure you write the date on the bag so you'll know. For optimal quality you only want to keep for 3 months, even though they'll remain safe for 6 months. If you choose not to freeze your baby food keep refrigerated for 48 hours (many safety authorities say 72 hours is fine).
When your ready to feed your baby you can thaw the baby food in the microwave, but be careful because this can cause hot spots and burn your little ones mouth. Many bottle warmers also will steam your food to De-thaw, this is what we use most of the time. You can place frozen cubes in a closed container and refrigerate over night.
I know making your baby food may not be an option for everyone, but I hope your able to try it out and see if it's for you or not. You can buy organic or regular old fruit I've found that farmers markets have some great prices. Whole stores like Sam's Club and BJ's also have bulk size fruits and veggies that can be cheaper per pound. With meats you can save a little of whatever you make, for example I made fajitas for dinner and before I seasoned the chicken I took out some for B. I ground it up really small then placed it in his puree. Since he just started out on meats he doesn't need a lot, but I plan on just saving whatever we make for dinner then freezing it for him. I hope you were able to get some ideas and tips, if you have any new information to share with me I would love to hear it.
Today is my birthday and I had a wonderful day celebrating turning 26. My wonderful fiance brought me a watch that I've been eyeing. He made me pancakes this morning and woke me up with the baby signing happy birthday, it was so sweet. Then we spent the day lounging by the pool and just hanging. It's been one of my best birthdays. I got to spend it with my two boys, and for that I couldn't be more thankful!

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Former Augusta State standout
Wallace Booth has been named to the 2009 Walker Cup squad for Great
Britain & Ireland, according to an announcement Monday from the
Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews.
The selection will mark the third appearance by a former ASU player in the Walker Cup. Former Jaguar All-American Jamie Elson played a key role in GB&I's 15-9 victory over the United States in 2001 at Ocean Forest Golf Club in Sea Island, Ga. The victory marked the first time that the GB&I squad had successfully retained the Walker Cup in the 79-year history of the event. Former three-time All-American Oliver Wilson was a fixture on the winning GB&I squad in 2003 when he posted a 2- 0-1 record as GB&I claimed a 12.5 to 11.5 victory at Ganton Golf Club in North Yorkshire, England.
The 2009 Walker Cup is scheduled for Sept. 11-13 at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa., just outside of Philadelphia. Booth enjoyed a solid career as a four-year letterman for the Jaguars, posting a career-low 72.63 stroke average as a senior in 2006-07. He captured the individual title at the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate for his first collegiate victory in March, 2007, and helped lead the Jags to an appearance in the NCAA West Regional in Tempe, Ariz.
The Walker Cup, a biennial, match-play competition between the top amateurs from Great Britain & Ireland and the United States, is considered by many to be the most significant international match in golf. The name of the contest derives from the trophy's donator, George Herbert Walker, president of the United States Golf Association in 1920 and maternal grandfather of the 41st President of the United States, George Herbert Walker Bush, and maternal great-grandfather of the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush.
The U.S. leads the series 33-7-1, including consecutive wins in 2005 and 2007 after GB&I claimed victory in both 2001 and 2003. The format features four morning foursome (alternate shot) matches and eight afternoon singles matches each day.
Booth, from Perthshire, Scotland, will be joined on the team by fellow Scot Gavin Dear, Tommy Fleetwood, Luke Goddard, Matt Haines, Stiggy Hodgson, Sam Hutsby, Niall Kearney, Chris Paisley and Dale Whitnell. All 10 members of the team are rookies.
Booth and Dear, the oldest members of the squad at 24 and 25, respectively, were members of the Scottish three-man team which won the World Amateur Team Championship last October. Reserves include Paul O'Hara and Rhys Enoch. Colin Dalgleish is the captain for the GB&I squad.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Phelps Dodge Corp.'s PD, -4.47% board granted conditional approval to an $850 million expansion of the Cerro Verde mine near Arequipa, Peru. Final approval is contingent upon receiving all required permits from the Peruvian government and placing necessary project financing. Sociedad Minera Cerro Verde S.A.A., which owns and operates the mines, also has given conditional approval of the expansion. The expansion, which will be financed with a combination of Cerro Verde cash and project debt, permits mining a primary sulfide ore body beneath the oxide ore body currently in production. Shares of the Phoenix-based Phelps Dodge, a large copper producer, slipped 1 percent to $95.00 in morning trading.

Gas-turbine technologies for transport, defense and energy industries
Innovations of NPO Saturn receive Brazilian support
Site news
February 24, 2015, Rybinsk. - NPO Saturn played host to a visit of Marcos Pinotti, a professor, member of the administrative council of the Federal university of Minas Gerais (UFMG, Brazil) and Evgeniya Shamis, general director of Sherpa S Pro (Moscow, Russia) and advisor to the vice-governor of the Samara Region.
Marcos Pinotti ranks among the top 100 world scientists in the field of bioengineering and bionics and is the author of the biggest number of patents in Brazil; he is also advisor to the office of the president of Brazil for technological development, member of the Brazil-U.S.A. council for the future of engineering and president of the Latin-American society for biomaterials. Together with Evgeniya Shamis they founded the International Workshop "Innovations and Clusters" (Brazil).
Their visit to Rybinsk came as a logical follow-up to the meetings with the representatives of NPO Saturn in Brazil in the frame of the "Collaboration across the ocean. Discovering innovative Brazil", a joint program of Sherpa S Pro and RVC
According to NPO Saturn director of innovative development Dmitriy Ivanov, "to be able to create something together, it is essential to know each other personally; confidence is built on it, and confidence is the foundation for any joint work. Any progress starts from collaborating in science though educational programs. However, the ultimate outcome of the meetings and negotiations we've had is to find opportunities for a new business, capitalizing on the capabilities and competences of NPO Saturn and Brazilian companies."
The guests of NPO Saturn visited the production and engineering facilities of the company as well as The New Tooling Solutions Ltd. and VolgAero, and touched base on the possibilities of eventual collaboration in the frame of the territorial innovation cluster Gas turbine machinery and power engineering whereby NPO Saturn is the coordinator.
Following the meeting results, Marcos Pinotti noted: "It was a fruitful and inspiring visit. It was interesting to see how such a complex and diverse company as Saturn, having a high level of liability (due to its production of aircraft engines) has been able to organize its operating system in such a beautiful and efficient manner. I saw plenty of opportunities where we could collaborate with Saturn both in terms of educational initiatives and student exchange, and using Saturn-designed technologies to help develop different branches of Brazilian industry, and even open new businesses. I'm really excited to be here."
According to Evgeniya Shamis, "the visit to NPO Saturn came as a next step of work started in Brazil which could translate into concrete products, technologies, or companies. Into what will propel both Russian and Brazilian regions and businesses. We also spoke about the further development of NPO Saturn through clusters since one of the main fields of Sherpa S Pro's activity is sustainable development of global competitive clusters. In modern-day conditions you can no longer operate only on the Russian level. Today, the only way to win is to be a possessor of the world-class competences and take active part in the international processes. Therefore, for us it is very important to have witnessed at Saturn not only the competences in the field of engine manufacturing but also an orientation for the emergence of start-up's which could restore the previously missing links of the chain, and an inclination towards projects of searching for new solutions and international partnerships."
The NPO Saturn Research and Production Association (OJSC) is an engine-manufacturing company specialized in the design and development, production and after-market support of gas turbine engines for military and commercial aviation, naval ships and power-generating plants and gas-pumping units. The association is part of the Union of Russian mechanical engineers, an all-Russian public organization whereby the regional branch is headed by I. N. Fedorov, NPO Saturn CEO.
NPO Saturn is part of United Engine Corporation (JSC) and acts as the leader of the Commercial Engines Division, a business unit of UEC founded on 09.10.2012 as a result of integration of the following companies: NPO Saturn (OJSC), Aviadvigatel (OJSC), PMZ (OJSC), Metallist-PM (CJSC), Energetik-PM (OJSC), REMOS-PM (CJSC), Motoservis-PM (CJSC) and Zheleznodorozhnik-PM (CJSC).
United Engine Corporation (JSC) (a Rostec State Corporation company) is an integrated organization specialized in the design and development, serial production and after-market support of the engines for military and commercial aviation, space programs, the Navy, as well as for the oil and gas industry and power generation. One of UEC's prioritized fields of activity is the implementation of comprehensive programs of development of the companies in the industry by introducing new technologies meeting the world-class standards. In 2013 revenues of the corporation amounted to RUB 158.9 billion.
The Rostec State Corporation is a Russian corporation established in 2007 in order to facilitate the development, manufacturing and export of high-technology industrial products of military and commercial application. Today it comprises over 700 companies, which form 9 defense-industrial and 5 civil industry holdings as well as 22 direct control companies. The Rostec portfolio includes such renowned brands as AVTOVAZ, KAMAZ, Russian Helicopters, VSMPO-AVISMA, etc. Rostec's subsidiaries are located in 60 regions of Russia and deliver their products to over 70 countries worldwide. In 2013 revenues of the corporation amounted to RUB 1.04 trillion. Total taxation exceeded RUB 138 billion.

"The other day, I overheard my older kids talking to my younger boy and they were saying 'don't ever, don't ever ask dad to help you with your homework'. They said I made up a war once."
Tom Waits is a story-teller. That's really all you need to know before approaching any one of the 16 studio albums he's released in his 42 years as a performer. It's rare for Waits to shine the light on his own life – even in interviews he tends to avoid the subject by telling tall tales – his subjects tend to more often be those at the margins of society. Even after he reached wider attention he still insisted on staying in crummy motels, as that was where he found his inspiration.
It helps that Tom Waits voice alone seems to contain a thousand stories in its raspy sound – which makes for a surprisingly versatile instrument. It can be croaked with sadness, weathered by age, growling with antagonism or simply terrifying. Yet it wasn't always that way. Back in '73, when he released debut album Closing Time, Waits actually had a reasonable voice, he just happened to destroy it completely in the space of three albums thanks to cigarettes and liquor.
As the years have gone by Tom Waits has repeatedly changed genre and his music has taken a far more theatrical turn. Part of this has been a result of the influence of his wife Kathleen Brennan, a screenwriter, who he met whilst writing the music for the Francis Ford Coppola movie One From The Heart. She is often credited as co-author on many of Waits' songs and helped develop the concept for many stage shows – most notably the Big Time tour.
To discover the music of Tom Waits is to become Alice falling down the rabbit hole. It's easy to become overwhelmed by the myriad routes and curiosities to take. Hopefully this playlist, which spans Waits' entire career, including studio recordings, live performances, collaborations and other oddities, will act as a starting point. But really the best advice is to just jump in and try a bit of everything. Get yourself a little lost, try something that'll make you feel small and insignificant (1992's Bone Machine is a good one for that), but most of all remember that it's ok if it all gets a little weird. As Waits himself once said "popular music is like a big party, and it's a thrill sneaking in rather than being invited. Every once in a while, a guy with his shirt on inside out, wearing lipstick and a pillbox hat, gets a chance to speak."

Some people think that mobile DJs include the identical tunes for every celebration. The deejays at Party DJ Disco will perform what's ideal for everyone of your invited guests.
Check with your chosen DJ in Warrington if they have got a PAT Certificate in order that their mobile disco has been checked for your safety. Just like all electrical gear, it could actually stop working therefore enquire if they have available duplicate equipment should the unthinkable happen.

We have a collective experience of almost 30 years of working with educators to help them develop inclusive, caring and engaging classrooms and schools where all children feel safe, yet challenged. Over this period of time we have worked with close to 10 000 educators in South Africa – across our provinces, our cities and rural areas - as well as teachers and school leaders in other countries.
Since 2016 we have facilitated FutureProoof Schools workshops on school transformation
in partnership with Facing History and Ourselves and Shikaya.
ReflectActions for School Leaders
In October and November 2016 we arranged a day of reflection for school principals, management teams and governing bodies. This was arranged as a direct response to the protests around hair that spanned the nation from Pretoria to Cape Town. These protests (including those at tertiary institutions) called on all stakeholders invested in the learning journey of young people to reflect on the access to, and culture of, places of learning in South Africa.
These Reflection & Learning days were held in Durban, Pretoria, Johannesburg and Cape Town. More than 300 school leaders (representing over 100 schools) attended these workshops from across the country. They were ready to start a conversation that was long overdue.
ReflectActions for Schools
In 2017 we facilitated eight ReflectActions for Schools. These days of reflection and learning helps the entire staff think about what it means to actively create schools where everyone feels they belong. The aim is to help schools see the current conversations around diversity in schools as potentially transformative moments in which truly inclusive and emotionally literate learning environments can be created. It is a day for staff to all have common conversation where differing views are spoken and heard.
During the process, staff reflect on Identity and Practice - who they are as teachers, leaders, administrators, support staff and what it means for their interactions with learners. They learn about the impact that Implicit or Unconscious Bias has on them as educators, how this plays out in their school and what they can do about it. Finally, staff explore how the school can better prepare all learners for a diverse world and what needs to be done to strengthen the process of transformation and the experience of belonging for all.
Transformation Conversations
As a follow-up to the 2016 ReflectActions we invited school leaders to a morning of reflection and sharing on transformation and inclusion in schools. It was an opportunity for them to hear from young people who attended schools like theirs. They also heard from principals and teachers who have been grappling with what it means to ensure that all learners feel they belong in their schools. The morning introduced the school leaders to areas of focus and some places to begin.
We ran these Transformation Conversations in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town during November 2017. More than 350 participants attended representing approximately 120 schools, universities and education organisations.
ReflectActions have been facilitated for:
