The best way to recreate the past is to find ways to live in it. That's exactly what the ambitious Friendly's restaurant chain co-founder S. Prestley Blake set out to do with this newly constructed replica of Thomas Jefferson's Charlottesville, Va. estate Monticello. The extraordinarily unique "new-old" home proudly stands in Somers, Conn., and is represented by Sherri-Lynn Milkie of our Old Lyme brokerage for $6,500,000.
Blake, who has undertaken numerous building projects on his own property in recent years, conceived the Monticello project as his "swan song" upon approaching his 100th birthday. Blake held his centennial birthday celebration in the newly constructed residence on October 3, 2014, just as construction was completed.
Construction began in the summer of 2013 after Blake purchased the ten-acre property, which connects to his own 80-acre property by a wooded horse trail. He tore down the church and home that existed on the land, which had been owned by Big Y supermarket co-founder Gerald D'Amour, and decided to use the property to create a visionary reproduction of the historical home so many Americans frequent and adore, and what he often refers to as "the country's most architecturally beautiful residence."
A man true to his word, Blake didn't waste any time. He worked with general contractor Raymond Laplante of Laplante Construction Inc. to precisely replicate the brick neoclassical-style exterior of Monticello, utilizing all of the same materials Jefferson used to create his plantation home. The replication did not extend to the interior, which was built to accommodate a more modern lifestyle, yet homages exist throughout including the blue sky ceiling mural in the entryway that recalls the skylight in Jefferson's dome room.
With nearly 10,000 square feet of living space, the architectural masterpiece has a total of 11 rooms with five bedrooms and five full and four half baths.
"It is our honor to represent the Blakes' magnificent tribute to Jefferson's Monticello," said Milkie. "It is wonderful to see such an important historic icon experience a new life, reproduced with a passion that can be viewed in every detail. This offering makes for an extraordinary opportunity for the right buyer."
While it may not be the exact floors on which the great Thomas Jefferson once stood, the re-creation of this monumental treasure in American history sure pays tribute to his influential mark on our country's history. Future residents of Connecticut's very own Monticello estate should be honored and humbled to be a part of this specially built remembrance of our past.

Whole-Hearted Love!
Contributed by Bala Samson on Apr 19, 2014 (message contributor)
Summary: Let us not love God in mere words, put them in action today! James 2:26 says, "For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead."
Love Him with all your heart!
Deuteronomy 6:5"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might."(Memorize)
It was a wonderful, spacious, clean, ventilated, centrally located house in a beautiful colony and just apt for the place that we were looking out for our 'Abide Angel Home' kids; however, there was a small hindrance here – there was a huge idol image that was engraved in the front door of the house!!!!! I refused to go further inside to look at the place, the friend who took us looked at me bewildered and asked me, 'what happened?' I said, 'this idol is a problem, I do not want to take this house.' You may have to walk away from some nice things in order to follow His commandments, the Lord said, 'flee away from idols.' This is what it means 'to love the Lord with all your heart and soul!' Are you listening to me? Let us not love God in mere words, put them in action today! James 2:26 says, "For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead."
We had to buy tally software for our ministry, the auditor volunteered to give us pirated copy, since the original software is expensive; we refused to accept his offer and I did not stop there, I preached then and there, I told him, 'pirated software is not the right way it is ethically wrong, however, expensive may it be, we got to buy it. Don't we buy expensive medicines, if it is necessary, likewise we got to buy the software and use them.' There was no appreciation in his eyes, there was a smirk on his face, so much to say, 'you Christian nut!' I am glad to be a nut for God than to loot! We need the nerve to say the right things at the right time! Are you there? Don't wait for a pat on the back for doing the right thing, you would never get it from this wicked world, do it because God has commanded you to do it. The Bible says:" 1 John 5: 3"For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome." I am glad to wait for the Lord for funds to buy the resources for the ministry than take a short and evil route. It may mean loss, pain and delay; yet, we got to follow God wholeheartedly in all areas! I stress here in all areas!
You may not have a job right now, but still, trust His promises and love Him whole-heartedly!
You may not have a kid right now and it would crush your heart to see the smile of a baby and may be you are aching to have one; right in this situation – praise Him! He would reward you at the right time! Wait patiently! Wait faithfully!
May be you are praying for your loved one and the more you pray the situation seems to be worsening instead of improving, don't give room for the enemy to guffaw, walk by faith and not by sight and keep pressing forward in prayer for a miracle – He would do it!
Don't take the evil counsel of worldly people, take the advice of godly people who instruct you according to the scriptures and follow them
Don't follow the worldly quack nostrums; it will never work! Cling on to His Word and follow them wholeheartedly! Happy Easter!

I need to start by thanking all those amazing cooks, chefs and bakers who have written lengthy and hugely useful advice on this subject. It is only from reading their recipes that I have finally been able to make a scone to rival all scones…
…and not, as I used to…
…open the oven door to find slightly, burned, biscuity-looking things!
Four Quick Tips To Success are…
Keep it quick ~ It seems that overworking the dough is a no-no. So leave the pummelling to bread-making and only knead scone dough as much as it takes to form a smooth dough, ready to flatten by hand.
Roll it cool ~ Cool hands and a cool surface for rolling are best. It's an old wive's tale apparently, but I think it's a winner!
Cut it thick ~ The main reason that I used to make 'biscuits' unintentionally instead of scones was that I cut the dough out too thinly. Don't be stingy and make each scone a good 2cm in depth.
Bake it hot ~ Or at least at about 220 C for 15 minutes. That seems quite hot to me!
Lastly, I always try and use an unconventional cutter to jazz up my scones. This week it has been hearts. I now have my eye on dinosaurs.
Have you ever seen a dinosaur-shaped scone? Watch this space!

Topic Title: Apex Grill Temp?
Created on April 28, 2008 at 11:17 PM
I just got my new grill, the Apex, and got it put together. I did a lot of research before throwing down the cash on this thing. Now, I have a few fit-n-finish issues, but that is for Holland. My question is this. I fired up the grill and checked the flame, which was blue with a little yellow here and there like the manual said there should be. I let it run 30 minutes as suggested and the thermometer was reading 500+ degrees. Could this be correct? I was expecting the operating temp to be around 400 degrees. Do I have a problem here?
Apparently the newest Hollands get a little hotter than previous models. If you feel your grill is too hot for your cooking style, call Holland, they can help you cool it down.
I cooked on a new Epic model and it too got pretty hot--right at 500. But, I found after I cooked on it a while it cooled down a bit to like 450 or below. Maybe it takes a little "coating" to build up, or the metal gets tempered. I'm no engineer but mine stays right around 425-440 now. Love it.
I contacted Holland they sent me a new orfice and supply hose w/ regulator. I've used it once since putting the new parts on and I think it might even be hotter. They told me to turn down the burner some, not much as it wouldn't stay lit. It at least keeps the temp where I can use it. Tried smoking a ham, but found most of my water in the drip bucket. I don't think my valve seals up very well.
It's a little frustrating knowing I spent more on this grill than I normally would have. I hope I made the right choice. I will say I've fixed some phenomial meat, though I hate the hassles.

Drones in Mexico: Gringos need not apply
Nothing to do with that Aeromexico jet
Mike Madriaga 12:34 p.m., Dec. 18
"So, the whole of my front yard is 100 percent edible," says Jeri. "There's not one thing — not even the hibiscus, which can be used for tea — that is not edible. I have fruit trees: lemon, lime. I have tomatoes, kale, cilantro, chard. We're on our winter crop right now, so we have beets, celery root, and lettuce."
Incorporating a little farming into our suburban lives has become fashionable — but the scale of Jeri's farm is difficult to imagine — or commit to — especially given the unaccommodating zoning for her suburban Chula Vista street. But, it's Jeri's reason for cultivating this small farm that is the real story.
At the age of two, Jeri's son, Soren, didn't speak or make eye contact. "I was in denial, but my partner Brian [Soren's father] kept saying, 'There is something wrong with Soren.'
"We took Soren to the San Diego Regional Center — a place that provides services for people with disabilities — and they tested him but said they wouldn't give him an actual diagnosis at that age. Then they started therapy treatment for Soren and a year later, at three, he was re-evaluated and they diagnosed him as autistic with an extreme BS speech delay.
"I was honestly in shock. I said, 'This test is b.s., this is not real' — denial, I think, is a mom's protection. But as soon as I got out of that, I was, like, how do we fix this? A lot of people say, "It is what it is." No. It's not. I kind of say that Facebook saved my son, because I just got on Facebook and started reading people's blogs trying to figure out what to do."
The number of children diagnosed with autism has steadily risen in the past ten years. The Centers for Disease Control defines Autism Spectrum Disorder "as a group of developmental disabilities that can cause significant social, communication, and behavioral challenges." The center says that 1 in 68 children has been identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and though it can occur in any country, race, or gender, it is five times more common among boys.
"We put Soren in pre-school when he was first diagnosed, without letting the school know he had a diagnosis. We wanted to see what people that deal with kids all the time said about him. When the preschool addressed it with us — they said he couldn't be in school without a full-time aide."
During this time, Jeri searched for a way to cure Soren.
"There was a big movement about gluten-free, dairy-free diets for autistic kids. So, I'm thinking, Let's just try this. Brian actually has celiac disease" — acute gluten allergy — "so there was a very good chance that Soren had it. We went gluten-free and dairy-free and within three weeks my son looked at me and spoke. From there we just started going down a rabbit hole, and the more research and changes we made, the more Soren improved.
"My son is unique. He has had stomach issues his whole life. He gets a rash on his body when he can't process foods. It's a sign to me. It clears up when we're doing the right things.
"We did away with anything out of a can, no colorings, no msg, no preservatives. We changed our house water, we changed our drinking water, we did extensive vitamin-mineral cleanses, detoxifications...there's a couple more things we want to do — unfortunately, the only thing that hinders us is cost. Insurance doesn't cover anything. These doctors that we have, like the homeopathic one in London, insurance won't even touch them. Chiropractic costs alone are close to $2000 a year.
"Some people think I'm crazy, but the majority of people I've come in contact with, if they go gluten-free, dairy-free, they see a change in their child. It floors me that more parents aren't willing to try it.
"It's hard, but what do you have to lose? Put all your food in Tupperware containers, put it away for 30 days, go 100 percent clean for your child. They might cry or whine, you may have to be in the kitchen longer, but see if it makes a difference. We've decided to do it as a family, as a unit, and that makes it easier, and we've all gotten healthier."
As Jeri began to see the results in Soren, she increasingly transformed the family yard into a farmyard. I first noticed her front yard on a summer walk. The whole yard, every inch was used purposely. It was like looking at a contradiction — it was exuberant and lush, yet orderly.
There were squash blossoms as big as elephant ears, and Jeri was spraying something on them. My squash always does a mildew meltdown by late summer, so I wanted to know her secret.
"It's a mixture of baking soda and water," she said. "It's the only thing that works on the mold these plants get."
I asked her how she amends her soil to grow such stunning plants and she invited my husband and I into the back yard. Inside the house was a little girl who was about two — her daughter Josie — standing in the kitchen munching on a carrot. Through the sliding-glass doors leading to the back yard, I glimpsed a tropical retreat — there was a pool, a hot tub, and a hammock strung between two trees. Where was the farm?
We went outside and Jeri explained the layout: "The back yard is where I have all my tropical fruit — mango, papaya, and passion fruit. On one side of the house I have my beehive and over on that side I also have all my potatoes in barrels. It's a really interesting way to grow your potatoes. They're all in bins or barrels and they just keep growing. At the end of the day, you put a tarp down and flip over your barrel, you sort through the potatoes or sweet potatoes and put all your dirt back in your barrel and start over.
FASCINATING STORY - the detail provided to build the story was most interesting.
I have no doubt many parents of autistic children will be rereading and taking notes.
I am in awe of the great lengths and sacrifice these parents have gone to to help their child - THEY ARE AN INSPIRATION!
Sending thoughts for continued improved Health for Master Soren.
*as a side note, my husband spends many hours in our back yard planning, planting and harvesting the fruits and vegetable he toils many hours to provide - there is NOTHING like walking out there and picking a vine ripped tomatoe or harvesting a basket full of oranges, apples, pomegranates - etc. Mother Nature is bountiful!!!
It's great that this diet, an approach that has certainly been used among the autism community for years, worked for the child of this family. And to see urban farming arrive in Chula Vista! I hope the laws can be amended like those of La Mesa, Encanto, etc. to encourage more.
I agree Robert Reeser and Sjtorres. The success in the story for this family is countered by more that did not see any results in the pure, gluten free homeopathic diet. If a diet change was all that is needed, the "cure rate" for autism would be through the roof.
Gluten-free cures autism and other quackery.
I live in Chula Vista and are going as green as we can. Our family dreams of owning some chickens. The zoning laws need to change and keep up with urban farming. We asked two years ago about the number of chickens we could have on our property and told a certain number but waited for an email with documentation on that number to avoid issues later. After several attempts to get something in writing, we finally received a firm no because we were about 200 square feet too small. Perhaps there can be some movement to change these zoning laws.
Just get a couple of hens. Nobody's going to know.
All it takes is a somebody to know and then the letter from the city arrives!
This is a beautiful story -- a wonderful change from all the horrible news we get every day. I, for one, hope that Chula Vista will alter their zoning laws. I would rather hear a rooster crow or the bleating sound of a goat than a yard full of yapping dogs.
What a wonderful family, I wish they were my neighbor . . . bah, humbug sjtorres!
It is most unfortunate and ironic that on the day this story came out this family received a letter from the city of Chula Vista telling them that pygmy goats are prohibited and to get rid of them by January 31 or they will begin to be fined.
My neighbor was told to do the same with a rooster and chickens. It would be great to see these zoning laws altered in CV.
Great News. I was contacted by the Autism Care and Treatment Today organization. They loved Jeri's story and have invited her to speak on their show.
Thank you, Luis Garcia l Program Assistant ACT Today! (Autism Care and Treatment Today!) 21600 Oxnard Street, Suite 1800, Woodland Hills, CA 91367 Office: (818) 340-4010 www.act-today.org l www.acttodayformilitaryfamilies.org
Thank you for getting the story out. There is a void of support services in south bay, which certainly makes this family that hopes to provide future support to others newsworthy. Alas, there will have to be major changes to code for this to happen. Families in east county and the back country have been able to offer programs simliar to what this mom envisions. Even some equestrian centers in the back country have addressed special needs. South bay certainly has the infrastructures to do the same so that driving north of the 805 is not required.
This story was referenced in a letter to the editor of the Chula Vista Star News of the irony of chula vista council deliberation regarding ordinances for pot cultivation and that this family was told to get rid of their animals because of "zoning" laws.
The best news would be that the City of Chula Vista would have a heart. They have been either unable or unwilling to close down a marijuana shop on Broadway, but they will throw the book at a family with two pigmy goats serving a good purpose. Kelley Bacon, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
There are exceptions to every rule,how can we help make a change for this family?
Here is San Diego City's code which permits pygmy goats. Maybe Chula Vista's city council should take a look at it. http://www.sandiego.gov/development-services/pdf/news/keepinggoats.pdf

A riddle for you: what do you call a seat with no back legs? OK, fine, I'll tell you: the 2line Chair. A simple, yet very clever design, the chair is made from just two pieces of molded aluminum held together by metal screws. Now you're probably thinking as I am, that this thing looks like it could barely support a three year old. Well, according to the designer Maximilian Fischhaber, it is one of the strongest seats out there.
Now I am as adventurous as the next person, but a chair with no back support at all? That's suicide! I actually would like to take the 2line Chair for a whirl and see how long I can go before taking a major spill off of it. I give myself an hour.

Document Details
Document Statistics
Published Document
I. Introduction
On June 23, 2004, The Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") proposed rule change SR-OCC-2004-13 pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act").[1] Notice of the proposal was published in the Federal Register on September 7, 2004.[2] No comment letters were received. For the reasons discussed below, the Commission is granting approval of the proposed rule change.
II. Description
The proposed rule change amends Article VIII of OCC's By-Laws, which authorizes OCC to borrow against the clearing fund in specified situations. Section 5(e) of Article VIII of OCC's By-Laws authorizes OCC to take possession of and pledge as security for a loan cash and securities in its clearing fund under the following circumstances:
(1) If a clearing member is suspended and OCC is unable to obtain prompt delivery of or convert promptly to cash any asset credited to any of the clearing member's accounts and as a result OCC deems it necessary or advisable to borrow funds to meet obligations arising out of the suspension or
(2) If OCC sustains a loss due to the failure of a bank or another clearing organization, and elects to borrow funds in lieu of immediately charging the loss to the clearing fund.
In either case, OCC must first determine that it cannot borrow the necessary funds on an unsecured basis and must use the proceeds from the borrowing solely for the purposes above. Such use of clearing fund assets are limited to a maximum of 30 days. After 30 days, the amount of the loan must be charged against the clearing fund.
In the event of a clearing member default, OCC may need immediate liquidity even before it has made the decision to suspend the clearing member. Historically, defaults tend to occur at 9 a.m. (CT) when clearing members' accounts are debited for options premiums, exercise settlement payments, and mark-to-market payments.[3] Although OCC may be able to make settlement by using its own cash or by borrowing against its unsecured credit lines, which are currently $20 million, it is possible that those resources would not be sufficient.
Under the current By-Laws provisions in order to borrow against its secured lines of credit, which are currently $150 million and are in the process of being doubled, using a defaulting member's clearing fund contributions or collateral, OCC would have to (i) suspend the clearing member and (ii) have difficulty in obtaining or liquidating the defaulting clearing member's collateral. If a default is not quickly remedied, OCC will likely suspend the defaulting clearing member. However, OCC believes that it should not have to make the decision to suspend as a precondition to borrowing against the clearing fund. Similarly, OCC believes that it should not be a precondition to such use of the clearing fund that OCC is unable to obtain "prompt" delivery of or convert "promptly" to cash any asset credited to an account of a defaulting clearing member. OCC interprets "prompt" and "promptly" in this context as meaning "in sufficient time to enable OCC to use the proceeds to meet its obligations." However, OCC does not believe that its ability to such use of the clearing fund should turn on questions of interpretation.
Accordingly, OCC is amending Article VIII, Section 5(e) of its By-Laws to eliminate the requirements that OCC (i) suspend a defaulting clearing member and (ii) be unable to obtain prompt delivery of collateral or be unable to convert it promptly to cash as preconditions to use of the clearing fund. As amended, Section 5(e) will allow OCC to use clearing fund assets as collateral for loans whenever OCC deems such borrowings to be necessary or advisable in order to meet obligations arising out of the default or suspension of a clearing member or any action taken by OCC in connection therewith.
OCC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 17A of the Act and the regulations thereunder because it enhances OCC's ability to respond to and manage clearing member defaults in a manner that increases the protection of investors and persons facilitating transactions by and acting on behalf of investors and because it limits systematic risk.
III. Discussion
Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act requires, among other things, that the rules of a clearing agency be designed to assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the custody or control of the clearing agency or for which it is responsible.[4] OCC's By-Laws currently provide that OCC may borrow against the clearing fund to meet its obligations in the event a clearing member is suspended and OCC cannot promptly access the clearing member's assets. The proposed rule change modifies OCC's By-Laws by allowing OCC to borrow against the clearing fund if a clearing member defaults on its obligations without having to suspend the clearing member and determine that it cannot obtain or liquidate the member's assets. The proposed rule change should allow OCC to more readily have the liquidity it may need in the event of a clearing member default and does not otherwise affect the rights and obligations of OCC or its members regarding the clearing fund. Accordingly, because the proposed rule change is designed to help assure that OCC will be able to meet its settlement obligations and does not jeopardize the integrity of OCC's clearing fund, it is designed to assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the custody or control of OCC or for which OCC is responsible.
IV. Conclusion
On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and in particular Section 17A of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the Act, that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-OCC-2004-13) be and hereby is approved.
For the Commission by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant to delegated authority.[5]Start Signature

The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a lot of success with rookies over the years including a consecutive run of ROY winners including Eric Karros, Mike Piazza, Raul Mondesi, Hideo Nomo, and Todd Hollandsworth. But none has had a hotter start than Cuban born rookie, Yasiel Puig. He wears the rare #66 and is only 22 years old. He's playing in a huge market with plenty of endorsement opportunities. This is going to get exciting for Dodgers fans. He finished his first week with a .464 average, with four homers and 10 RBIs being named NL Player of the Week. His defense didn't slack either, gunning out runner at the plate to end games.
The announcement was made earlier today on MLB Network. In his first week in the Major Leagues, Puig led baseball with 27 total bases and was tied for the Major League lead with four home runs. His .964 slugging percentage was second-best in the Majors and was the top mark among National Leaguers. The 22-year-old native of Cienfuegos, Cuba also ranked among league leaders with a .464 (13-for-28) batting average (2nd), 10 RBI (3rd), 13 hits (3rd), and a .483 onbase percentage (7th). Puig had multi-hit efforts in five of his seven games during the week.
Stay tuned for plenty of endorsement deals and paid appearances coming his way. We just hope the Hollywood lifestyle doesn't get the best of Yasiel, as it could be a city of distractions to young superstars. He could probably learn a thing or two from Matt Kemp. From his focus in the first week, the baseball world is his. Puig-Mania is born in LA!

Knitting, culture and place
Susan: I'm fascinated by how art and craft express people's experiences of the places where they live and the other species that share those landscapes. So I'm curious about how the patterns you show in Ethnic Knitting Discovery relate to the landscapes and cultures they come from.
Donna: What's really interesting is trying to track the movement of knitting traditions around the globe. The knitting style used in the Andes is also used in Portugal and Turkey. Most knitting historians believe that the craft began in the Middle East and later travelled to Europe and then to the United Sates. Tracing the path of the Andean technique makes me wonder if it wasn't brought to Portugal (and Spain?) by the Moorish conquerers as they were spreading Islam into that region, and then brought to South America later by the conquistadors and Christian missionaries. A similar style is used in Greece, but I'm not sure how closely related the Greek technique is to these others.
There are also similar designs and techniques that have been used in Scandinavia and the Baltics; some Lithuanian mittens have patterns that closely resemble Turkish socks, and fisherman's sweaters with similar construction have been made in many different parts of Europe. Before printed patterns, it seems like knitters had no problem sharing their techniques and stitches generously, and styles and garment constructions spread around, often quite quickly.
S: For example, do any of the patterns depict native animals or plants? Or if they are more abstract patterns, are they derived from shapes of the landscape, plants and animals, or cultural practices?
D: Some regions use mostly geometric patterns, and others use pictorial patterns. In most regions, there are some historical meanings to the symbols, although modern knitters probably don't think about this much in their designs. For example: In the Andes, many of the knitting designs are based on plants and animals in the region. There is a coca leaf pattern that is incredibly popular, as well as designs of flowers, water, the sun, dogs, cats, lamas, snakes, and many other animals. In Norway, symbols are more geometric, but no less meaningful. There are many variations of crosses, for example, that carry Christian symbolism. Circles may represent fidelity, like a wedding ring; squares stand for the four corners of the earth; and triangles may symbolize the Christian trinity, female power, or the virgin Mary. Although less popular today, animals, plants, and people were commonly featured on Norwegian sweaters and mittens in the past. My book, Ethnic Knitting Discovery, merely covers the tip of the iceberg. Volumes could be written, and have been written, about the textiles traditions in each of these regions. I hope my readers will get excited by my introductions and do further explorations on their own.
S: Is the knitting of anyone culture or region in the book more reflective of its landscape and natural community than the other regions?
D: Not really. Although knitting techniques and designs spread throughout Europe and then to other parts of the world fairly quickly, people were still quite isolated before the invention of the automobile. It was quite common to be born and die without ever leaving your own village or traveling over ten miles from home. So designs became unique in each region. This is even true within a single nation. I focused on a particular region of Noway in my book, but other knitting traditions around the country were unique, although there are some similarities that tie together the whole Scandinavian region, and "leak" into the designs found in the surrounding areas. The combination of world travel by a few and isolation of the many is something that's difficult to imagine in the United States today where just about everyone travels at least to another part of this huge country every year for the holidays, a wedding, or a high school graduation. Such informal travel would have been unheard of even 100 years ago. My great grandparents came to the US from Russia and Lithuania, and I'm the first person in our family to have an inkling of desire to return for a visit, over a century later.
S: Do you think that craft is a reflection of our view of the world? Or simply a decorative abstraction?
D: I think it's different for everyone. Some people knit and crochet to keep their hands busy, following patterns that they buy at the local yarn shop or hobby store. Others use their craft to be a part of a community and to connect to other knitters today, and to those who lived in the past. In any case, crafting is always a very personal experience.
What craft is your passion? Does it express something about your ties to culture and place? Let us know what you think!

I'd say 'craft' wise, crochet is a passion for me...I've always felt it was my ancestral link to my paternal grandmother that gave me the urge to learn to crochet. It seemed to come so easily to me and since I've made many hats,scarves,tops and sweaters even participated in an international crochet challenge that resulted in a coat and a book!
Loved your interview!

This little tag line inspires and challenges me. It's imprinted on a bracelet that I wear occasionally and serves as a helpful reminder that if we don't like what we see in our surroundings, we must try to make things better. Sometimes that's easier said than done.
This past Sunday while attending church with my parents the pastor preached on the familiar Parable of the Good Samaritan. The title of his excellent message was "Like a Good Neighbor…." We were reminded that the first two travelers might have had compassion as they passed by the man who was attacked and robbed and left lying on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho but for some reason they didn't choose to act. They may have had an important meeting to attend or they may have been afraid; we can only speculate why they didn't decide to stop and help. The third traveler had mercy on the man and acted on his compassion as he went out of his way to care for his wounds, put him on his donkey (meaning he then had to walk), and took him to an inn to care for him and to make provisions for further care. It's not always enough to have compassion; sometimes we need to "Get off our Donkey!" as Reggie McNeal would say.
I recently overheard a conversation where a comment was made about a particular race when a person literally said that the people of that race were all the same. Based on the context, he was clearly not offering a complement. A number of responses came to my mind, none of which were positive and I knew that if I responded as strongly as I was feeling led it would create quite a bit of tension in the room. I simply said something like, "Please just stop, I do not want to hear any more about that." He said something like "Good, because I was getting ready to give examples to prove my point." I replied "Please don't, because I'm getting ready to put you in a box that I don't think you want to be put in." He didn't say anything else and neither did I, as I almost bit my tongue in half.
I was reminded that it wasn't a religious leader who stopped to help the man who needed help, it was a man often considered an outcast, stereotyped because he was a Samaritan who was despised by the Jews because Samaritans were a racially mixed society and were also considered pagans.
Friends, the Good Samaritan parable is one of countless stories where Jesus is teaching us to love our neighbor as ourselves, and this love is to be extended to ALL people, including those of different races and religions. If we claim to be followers of Jesus, we can't ignore what Jesus is teaching us. Frankly, it is ignorant to think that all people of a particular race, religion, gender, or other wide sweeping label are all the same. And when we speak such words out loud we are letting our ignorance shine.
We must "get off our donkey" and act on our compassion when our neighbors need our help. We must also find the courage to "call it out" when we witness categorization and stereotyping. Our silence may appear that we are in agreement and sometimes folks need to be reminded that all people don't feel the way that they do. My prayer is that we will have the courage to speak out when appropriate and also to put action behind our compassion. I want to BE the change I wish to see in the world. How about you?
Peace y'all,

Remote Sensing was the theme for World Space Week this year and the Satellite Applications Catapult welcomed 60 students from local Oxfordshire schools to Harwell to participate in a hands-on activity-packed day. With support from Catapult STEM Ambassadors and the National Space Academy, the students were treated to a series of talks and activities highlighting the role satellites, and in particular remote sensing, have in their everyday lives.
The day's activities included constructing a real life microsatellite called UBO, measuring the speed of light building a temperature sensor using an Arduino microcomputer; and an interactive series of demonstrations of the applications of Earth observation (EO) data. Each of the activities providing the students with analogue examples of the science and technology involved in remote sensing.
To complement the activities, students toured of the operations room to see a real working example of remotes sensing: tracking illegal fishing vessels. They were also given a talk on by an EO specialist and a space careers talk to give students a better understanding of the huge variety of careers available to them within the space industry.
World Space Week is the celebration of two monumental events in the history of the space programme. Held from 4-10 October each year, the week celebrates the launch of Sputnik – the first official satellite into orbit – on 4 October 1957, and the entry into law of the Outer Space Treaty on 10 October 1967.
The day was a great success with teachers expressing their appreciation. "Great staff, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic," said one, while student feedback included "It was a great day full of cool information'."
Christopher Duff, the STEM Engagement Manager at the Satellite Application Catapult, said: "The day helped showcase the Catapult's work and promote space careers to the students, particularly with the support of our STEM Ambassadors, who each have a unique pathway of their own into the space sector. The day was to help the students take a journey, with the narrative taking them from understanding the technology behind a satellite and sensor, through to how the data is processed, to the ways in which it can be used to solve societal problems."

When Rodney refuses to be ashamed for his actions, Lynette tosses him out of the house. His visit spurs a frank conversation between the Scavos about commitment and fidelity. And then, when Tom admits to Lynette that he knew about his father's affairs and isn't that bothered by it, Lynette tosses him out.
Later, Lynette tries to make things up with Tom, but also insists she'll leave Tom if he ever cheats on her. Tom confided in him that he has a secret, one that Lynette doesn't know about, revealing that he may not be the perfect husband – later it turns out to be the fact that during the last months he'd been working with his old girlfriend, Annabel Foster.

text: When Donatienne, a Belgian national living in Balham the last thirty years came to us, she was downsizing from the large family house she had bought her family up in. Widely travelled with an array of eclective objets d'art and curios collected on these journeys she had a very specific idea not only about the way she wanted her kitchen to look but the way in which it needed to work too. Dominating the kitchen diner was a huge mahogany dresser with Middle Eastern influences and her love of Moorish art meant that the kitchen would need to compliment these styles. When Donatienne came across our Linear Clay Collection tiles she fell in love! She had found the perfect match. Not only did they provide an eye catching focal point as a splash back behind her oven but she merged the inside with the out by paving her patio with the iconic tiles too. The rest evolved naturally around these elements. AlnoStar white cupboards provided the perfect backdrop to her many beautiful things. A boiling water tap by Quooker, extra draws in the tall units, a raised dishwasher and wide counters all helped to give Donatienne her dream kitchen.

"They have pierced my hands and feet" (Psalm 22:16)
Psalm 22 is a Psalm of David and is a lament of an individual in extreme distress, one that is innocent yet under the attack and mockery of immoral people. This individual cries out to God with no relief or answer to his prayers, however, knowing the time will come for vindication and worship again with God's people.
Knowing that this individual is suffering yet innocent, in extreme distress, at the whim of immoral people mocking him, and crying out to God with no answer, we can ask ourselves who this is ultimately a picture of. The New Testament authors use this very Psalm in describing, and attributing its depiction to, the suffering of Christ:
"they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots" (Psalm 22:18)
"And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots. (Matthew 27:35)
"All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads" (Psalm 22:7)
"And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads" (Matthew 27:39)
"He trusts in the Lord; let him deliver him;let him rescue him, for he delights in him" (Psalm 22:8)!
"He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he said, 'I am the Son of God'" (Psalm 27:43).
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning" (Psalm 22:1)?
"And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me" (Matthew 27:46)?
Our Psalm focuses on verses 11-22. The individual observes that as God "took me from the womb," "made me trust you at my mother's breasts," and having been his God from his mother's womb, he can confidently pray, "Be not far from me" (v.11). He goes on to mention the enemies that surround him (v. 12-18). Finally, as in v. 11, he confidently requests of God relief (v. 19-21), and in v. 22 praises his God in the midst of the congregation.
This Psalm gives us an image of Jesus, who was the supreme suffering servant, who now, as the head, rejoices in the midst of his Church (Psalm 22:22; Hebrews 2:12)

A mid-2010 meeting showed how GHS implementation is advancing around the world.
The 20th meeting of the UNECE Sub-Committee of Experts on the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) will take place Dec. 7-9, 2010, in Geneva. While a detailed agenda had not been posted at press time for this issue, the preliminary agenda indicated a U.S. expert may present an analysis requested by the sub-committee in mid-2009 of practices and regulations in place for combustible dust.
Dec. 1, 2010, is also significant because it is the first of two phase-in implementation deadlines for REACH and the date when companies in the European Union must apply CLP, the new European Regulation on Classification, Labelling and Packaging, to chemical substances. A second deadline in June 2015 is set for applying CLP to chemical mixtures. The CLP rule sets a new system in place throughout the European Union for classifying and labeling chemicals that is based on GHS.
At the Geneva meeting, Australia is scheduled to present a final report summarizing the GHS classification lists maintained by each country, their plans for lists to support GHS implementation, how various sectors in different countries use classification lists now, and what future needs there are for such lists.
The mid-2010 meeting showed how GHS implementation is advancing around the world. It became mandatory for chemical substances in the Republic of Korea on July 1, 2010, and will be mandatory for mixtures there on July 1, 2013. Switzerland allowed consumer products classified and labeled in accordance with GHS to be sold as of July 1, 2010, but its reclassification of substances will not be in force until December 2012. Serbia adopted a law implementing GHS on June 29, 2010, that sets a transition period for CLP implementation ending Sept. 1, 2011, for substances and June 1, 2015, for mixtures. Two standards implementing GHS in China took effect May 1, 2010, and a system for coordinating GHS implementation by government and industry is being developed there. Australia expects to release a GHS implementation regulation for public comment in September 2010, and in the United States, OSHA is now drafting its Hazard Communication final rule implementing GHS.

This boy scout group has been coming up to the camp for several years now and we are always glad to have them.
The tents started out scattered out from the pavilion but when the rain came all but one under up underneath...along with a few hammocks as well.
The boys played a few rounds of checkers...went for a hike and did a craft or two.
The big thing, however, was a cooking contest.
Now we're not sure who actually won, but the food did look edible!
Mary Breeden, one of the troop leaders, said she'd never made it down to the Secret Creek before...I hope she had the chance on this trip. This group may just get the top prize when it comes to cleaning up the place before they leave! As always, we look forward to their next trip.

Uh Oh...Blackout: Living Without Electricity
With all the construction going on in our neighborhood, blackouts and downed power lines have become a frequent occurrence. Last night was no exception. Just as we were settling in to write our post and watch a couple TiVo'ed shows, suddenly everything went dark...
A friend who lives near me made popcorn the old fashioned way, taking this picture with her IPhone lit by a flashlight
With no idea how long it would last, I had to rethink my evening. Luckily I had a stash of candles and a flashlight, a non-cordless land line phone, my iPhone was powered up and my stove is gas. I took a candlelit bath; I read a little bit, squinting in the sputtering light; dinner was a medley of foods that I was worried would spoil quickly without being refrigerated. It reminded me of when I first moved into my apartment. I couldn't coordinate my schedule with that of the Department of Water and Power, so I lived without electricity for a week. My days were dictated by the sun, I bought small amounts of food daily, if I missed a call I assumed that they'd call back. Somehow, even without all the conveniences, there was more time to think and accomplish things. There was no TV watching, so there was plenty of time for talking and I became well-acquainted with the traffic patterns in my apartment. It was a welcome slowing down from the normal frantic pace of life and now I feel truly rested, ready to start the week.
It makes me feel that I should make a habit of living without electricity every once and awhile.
What do you think?

A HAMPSHIRE construction firm is helping to drive forward progress at new National League football ground.
Eastleigh based Wessex Galvanizers have been working alongside a team at Stadium Solutions to redevelop Salford City FC stadium, who play in the National League North.
The club is currently undergoing a 12-month refit of their stadium which when completed will offer capacity for up to 5,000 people following a takeover by the former Manchester United players Phil Neville, Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt.
Wessex Galvanizers, which offers hot-dip galvanizing has been providing its services to all steelwork used on the large-scale redevelopment to ensure that the new steel frames being fitted are long-lasting without the need for regular maintenance.
The project has seen the business galvanize the steel used to build all of the stadium's new stands, a new facilities block behind the north stand, a two-storey clubhouse due to go at the rear of the south stand along with various other elements including turnstiles and dugouts.
Richard Whiddett, commercial manager at Wessex Galvanizers, said: "We've been providing our services to Stadium Solutions for many years now.
"The new ground has not only attracted attention from across the football world but it's bringing together the local community of Salford and surrounding areas, which makes it an incredibly rewarding project to be involved in."
Phill Harris, CEO and founder of Stadium Solutions, added: "We won this high-profile contract at Salford City FC in late 2016 and were required to completely rebuild the ground, as well as demolish all existing stands and facilities.
"The new spectator stands surrounding the pitch have already been constructed, which include two 12-tread standing terraces behind each goal, and two six-row stands spanning the entire length of the pitch on both sides.
"Thanks to the team at Wessex for their services as part of this project – we're all very much looking forward to seeing it in its final glory next year."
The new ground is set to be fully complete in the new year.

Going that extra mile
MK Branch activists are regularly involved in charity work, which shows that our members are not just interested in party politics, but are sincerely concerned about the communities where they live.
Three branch activists who are regularly involved in charity work are Paul Jenkin, Cllr. John Rowe and Rhisiart Tal-e-bot. On Friday (19th August 2011) Cllr. John Rowe and Rhisiart Tal-e-bot undertook a mile long charity swim for MacMillan Cancer Support, while Paul Jenkin is using his talent to plan a music and art/craft event in Praze to raise money for the Precious Lives Appeal in October.
Speaking after the swim Cllr. Rowe said that it is important to take part in charity events in your local community, because it is necessary to show a community spirit and raise money for good causes along the way.
Further information about the Praze event, please contact Paul on email@example.com.

Few private equity shops have taken advantage – in every sense – of recovering capital markets with the abandon exhibited by Rank Group in the past year.
Since October, the New Zealand based firm has built a global packaging empire with three multi-billion-dollar acquisitions funded almost exclusively through leveraged loans and corporate bonds. The latest of the deals – Reynolds Group's USD 6bn takeover of Pactiv – shocked debt investors with the miniscule equity cheque contributed by Rank.
Rank Group will put up just USD 500m of equity to support its takeover of Pactiv, valuing the group at USD 6bn. Given that USD 300m of that injection comes in the form of contributed assets, the private equity firm is paying less than 5% of the USD 4.6bn purchase price to Pactiv shareholders in cash.
"This is completely outrageous," one owner of Reynolds' bonds told Debtwire. "They are effectively managing to [execute] this transaction with almost no equity. A typical LBO deal requires sponsors to put in around 25% equity."
The sponsor launched its packaging blitzkrieg in October last year when portfolio company SIG bought the much larger Reynolds Packaging and Closure Systems International for USD 3bn. Rank put up a EUR 500m (USD 630m) equity cheque representing roughly 10% of the deal, which boosted group revenues to EUR 2.8bn from EUR 1.26bn for SIG alone.
Rank's owner Graeme Hart then set out levering Reynolds further to buy new assets and pay himself out in the process. In April, Reynolds bought New Zealand-based Evergreen Packaging Group and Whakatane Mill from another Rank portfolio company, Carter Holt Harvey, in an all-debt USD 1.75bn deal.
The budding conglomerate put the icing on the cake this month with its buyout of US specialist food packaging group Pactiv, which will boost combined revenues to a combined USD 7bn annually.
"This is a repeat acquirer, that tends not to do deals on the cheap but offers small equity cheques," a second investor commented. "Its bonds warrant a discount."
But, countered an analyst at a London-based investment bank, the sponsor has a strong track record in deleveraging the group. Following Rank's acquisition of SIG in early 2007, the company reduced leverage to 3.8x in 2Q09 from 6.1x at the end of 1Q07. And after releveraging following the acquisition of the Reynolds' business last year, leverage for the combined group dropped to 4.3x at the end of 2009 from 5.1x pro forma as of 2Q09.
Reynolds Group did not return calls seeking comment. Rank Group could not be reached.
From triple Bs to triple hooks overnight
But a more immediate and bigger concern for existing Reynolds debt holders is the USD 5bn of new financing and USD 500m-USD 750m of inherited bonds that will be layered into the capital structure as a result of the Pactiv deal. Roughly USD 2bn-USD 3bn of the buyout debt will rank senior secured, priming all outstanding bonds, said investors and analysts.
Pro-forma the new debt and a projected USD 200m of synergy-related EBITDA, Reynolds' leverage would rise slightly to 5.5x from 5.1x. But excluding anticipated efficiencies, run-rate EBITDA of the respective businesses implies a 6.1x leverage figure.
The biggest losers from the debt holder perspective could be on the Pactiv side. "These [Pactiv investors] went on holiday in August as holders of BBB rated bonds, and will come back as investors in CCC rated bonds," the first investor commented.
US consumer and foodservice packaging group Pactiv (Baa2/BBB) will become a subsidiary of the Reynolds group and jointly guarantee new senior secured debt issued by the parent. Under the new structure, unsecured Pactiv debt will rank pari passu with Reynolds' unsecured bonds, the investors and analysts noted. Reynolds plans to leave up to half of Pactiv's roughly USD 1.5bn of debt in place.
Standard & Poor's and Moody's both placed Reynolds on review for potential downgrades as a result of the deal, which they note will pressure its financial metrics. S&P has Reynolds unsecured debt on a B- rating and Moody's on Caa1.
Credit Suisse, HSBC and Australia New Zealand Bank have committed debt financing for the deal. Reynolds plans to issue a mix of loans, senior secured bonds and unsecured bonds that will likely include euro-denominated debt, management said on a conference call this week (18 August).
Amendments and adjustments
Reynolds' existing credit agreement permits the group to issue up to USD 750m of loans, which means it would need to obtain an amendment from its syndicate in order to increase the limit. The group expects to be able to remain in compliance with its 3.5x senior secured and 5.5x total leverage debt incurrence covenants but that depends heavily on the realization of projected efficiencies.
The company based its calculations on a combined pro forma EBITDA of USD 2.1bn, using USD 1.1bn equivalent for Reynolds and USD 750m for Pactiv plus USD 200m of synergies. Rank will contribute another USD 50m from Reynolds Foods Services business, currently independent from Reynolds.
The consolidated business would carry USD 11.5bn of combined total net debt, including roughly USD 5.5bn equivalent from Reynolds, USD 5bn of new debt and around USD 500m-USD 750m of Pactiv debt.
But the synergies will take 12 -18 months to realise and will incur a USD 100m cash cost. "However, you have to give them credit for having always achieved their previous savings targets," a third investor commented.
Creative equity accounting
The Reynolds Food Service business, which currently sits outside of the group structure, will form part of the sponsor's equity injection. It is valued at USD 300m, i.e. 6x its USD 50m EBITDA. The remaining USD 200m of the equity injection will be in cash.
The size of the deal also rankled investors after being told by Reynolds' management on the 1Q10 earnings call that the group was only considering bolt-on acquisitions. "This is clearly transformational," the first investor noted.
The group may have been somewhat disingenuous with its presentation of the leverage figures and financing of the transaction, but the deal itself makes a lot of sense, a second analyst noted. "There are many reasons for bondholders to be [angry], but on the face of it, it's a good deal," he added. "Pactiv has very strong relationships in the US, and it provides the group with significant scale and diversity."
Reynolds' bonds have recovered some of their initial losses following the announcement of the acquisition, when the secured bonds dropped two points and the unsecured bonds three points. Its euro-denominated senior secured 7.75% 2016s regained a point at 102.75/103.75, while its 8% 2016s clawed back half a point at 96/97. The 9.5% 2017s are unchanged at 96/97, according to the second investor.

'Superman' Struggles at Box Office
"Superman Returns" is struggling at the box office.
The $300 million extravaganza has earned only $48 million since opening with sneak previews on Tuesday night.
What's even more alarming for Warner Bros is that the take for the last two days rather than increasing has dropped. This may mean that word of mouth is not positive.
The three full days of release are now $21 million, $11 million and $16 million.
At this rate "Superman Returns" will be lucky to clear $100 million by the end of the holiday weekend.

I'm not playing anymore as I'm out.Wayne wrote:Nobody sent My Heart Will Go On.
Only had the final judges score back today.cheapthrills wrote:Where did everyone go?
leomedar: Cool song, its not groundbreaking but smooth and flowing.
JSparksFan: This was a sloth of a song for three-quarters of the way through; thankfully, it picked up and ended memorably.
urbanmusik: One of the few songs from the indie landfill of the mid 2000s that has aged well. That's mostly due to lead singer Joel Pott being a great songwriter, having went on to write songs with the likes of London Grammar, George Ezra, Shura and Mabel in recent years. This song hits a nerve with me; tonally it's just so emotional. The "I see it in your eyes" refrain that arrives in the latter half feels so cathartic, adding to the build and release of tension within a song that addresses the theme in an atypical way (the wires keeping his pre-mature daughter alive).
Frank Sinatra - I've Got You Under My Skin - sonia85cheapthrills: I am kind of digging that static noise at the 90 second mark. Wish there was more of that. This is giving me Coldplay vibes, and I like Coldplay. This song has a strong ending that builds on everything before it.
leomedar: Love Frank. Thanks for such a cool entry
JSparksFan: Frank Sinatra seems physically incapable of recording a bad song; his music is either fantastic or adequate. This was adequate. Top-notch instrumentation, great vocals, but the lyrics fall flat.
urbanmusik: I can barely tell most Frank Sinatra songs apart, but I enjoyed it.
Jessie Ware - Running - SilentDreamcheapthrills: Have we had a song as old as this one? I don't know - compared with the other songs, this comes off as a refreshing change. I found myself completely ignoring Frank though and listening to the outstanding musicianship going on in the background. I mean even the song drops Frank at the two minute mark for awhile.
leomedar: I like some of her stuff, but then I kind of lost interest. This is ok but does not stand out.
JSparksFan: Melodically, this was intriguing. I also enjoyed the vocal effects, with the crescendo variations. Good submission! I see myself playing this next week.
urbanmusik: I liked Jessie Ware's first single Strangest Feeling, but it was Running that really got me obsessed. It was a combination Jessie's cool diva vocals, the Sade inspired instrumentation, the Aaliyah invoking melody and a hint of electronic soul that got me hooked. This was something completely different in 2012, and I'd like to think that Jessie alongside a handful of other artists helped usher in what's popular today.
Lucy Rose - Our Eyes - flophocheapthrills: I like this song a lot, but I am just so very confused by these lyrics. I have questions. Don't you like this guy, Jessie? If so, why would that make you want to keep running and not chill right there? And how can you claim that you get weak, but still want to keep running? Why do you say you want to stay there with your hot boyfriend in one lyric, but then make the chorus about nothing but running? Make up your damn mind!
leomedar: Very good, a discovery and fresh and fun and interesting.
JSparksFan: Catchy chorus!
urbanmusik: Video is far more interesting than the song, which isn't bad, just typical.
Melanie Fiona - Bones - Gravitycheapthrills: This song has an odd cadence to it- the lyrics are sung in halted punctuation that runs counter to the flowing, dreamy background. That makes for an uncomfortable listen, as if she is trying to hurry the song along.
leomedar: As the song moves on it got me more and more interested. Good
JSparksFan: Loved Melanie's voice here. It's laden with passion. The song, however, isn't quite as moving.
urbanmusik: Brassy and soulful. I like it, but there's something missing that stops me from loving it.
Susanne Sundfør - The Silicone Veil - Carboncheapthrills: O...M...G! Those horns and harmonies! And these lyrics are strange in the right way - obsessive, violent, and dark - this is definitely more about possession than love. Yet, it is somehow wrapped up in a musical banger. I think I just found a good addition to my Halloween playlist.
leomedar: Ok song, but cold.
JSparksFan: This song wanted desperately to be better than it is. Creative liberties were clearly taken on the production of this song, and more backfired than panned out. The bass/drum bit at the end was nice, though.
urbanmusik: Beautiful arrangement. I'm trying to review this song without mentioning Björk or Fiona Apple tbh. So I'll just talk about the music video since it has me shook. I was not expecting that at all. Andrea Arnold meets The Twilight Zone, but a little more arthouse and uncomfortable. I'm not sure if the message was meant to be inspiring, but it left me a little sadder after watching.
The Ting Tings - Hands - treborcheapthrills: Sigh. I want to score this higher because it is so daring, but even I have my limits. The lyrics and the video make for a very disturbing experience. I feel like I need a shower after watching this and I just took one an hour ago.
leomedar: Good, fun and effective.
JSparksFan: The refrain is so relatable that I really wanted to like this song, but it didn't give me any other reason to love it.
urbanmusik: I completely forgot about The Ting Tings aborted sophomore album. I appreciate this 80s pastiche a lot more than I did when it was released.
.cheapthrills: Have heard this one before. I always liked the Ting Tings. And it's a nice way to close out this round which was mostly a group of dark, serious topics. I'll use Hands as a nice salve to wash that all off. (Get it? Hands? Because I'd be washing with my hands? Anyhow, moving on...) It's true, Ting Tings. I am working too hard! I am so ready to clap now.

By Ise-Oluwa Ige
ABUJA – A telecommunication firm, Mobitel, yesterday, requested a Federal high court sitting in Abuja to nullify the decision by the Federal Government cancelling the licensing process of National frequencies in the 2.3 GHz band by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC). Mobitel had fulfilled the conditions precedent to the acquisition of the said licence by paying about N1.4billion as prescribed by NCC.
However, the Minister of Information and Communication, Professor Dora Akunyili on May 25, 2009 issued a statement canceling the entire process leading to the issuance of the said licence to Mobitel and other successful firms.
According toAkunyili: "Following the resolution of the Ministerial Management Meeting of Friday 22 nd May, 2009 on the above subject matter, I am directed to formally convey the resolution of the meeting that the process for the sale of the 2.3 GHz RF Band has been cancelled (should start over again).
"As a result of that, you are to await the formal release of the band by the National Frequency Management Council (NFMC), the meeting of which was expected to hold tomorrow, Tuesday, 26 May, 2009 at 12 noonâ€.

text: I grew up with a mom and a grandma who placed a lot of weight on certain things. One of those was having pretty flowers in the house almost always and displaying the said pretty flowers in appropriately pretty containers. Cue vases! The two on the left you can see on the picture below were gifted to me - the tall one by my grandma, and the round one by my mom. The one on the right was also a present from mom - real Murano glass, from Venice. The tall one I grew up around, it was a stalwart on my grandma's coffee table and as kids, my brother and me were strictly forbidden from touching it lest it should topple and/or fall. The yellow one was the one my mom reached for most often whenever there were flowers to display. I love the colours on all three of them, being particularly fond of the blue/mustard combination.

The Centaurion Station, the base of the Void observation for countless millennia, is torn apart as Raiel machines move to counter the Void's expansion. Justine, who is at the station as it is destroyed, makes a decision that will affect the whole of humanity; to enter the Void in an attempt to negotiate with the Skylord. Will the Second Dreamer be able to get her safe passage, even if it means exposing herself?
Paula is continuing her mission to track down Troblum who holds crucial information about the Accelerators and their plans. Desperate to get hard evidence, Paula tracks him down and comes to the very harsh realisation of how far the Accelerators are prepared to go to fulfill their plans. Meanwhile, the Ocisen Empire are on their way to Commonwealth space to enforce the threat they previously issued: cease the pilgrimage or face the consequences.
After his spectacular display of power and unwavering belief of what is right, Edeard now faces increasingly difficult obstacles in his bid to bring peace to Makkathran. With the gangs planning to undermine the Waterwalker he must stand for what he believes, even if it means unwanted political manoeuvring, and the events that take place in Makkathran lead down the path that will reveal the full potential of the Void.
Continuing from The Dreaming Void, The Temporal Void picks up events immediately following the revelations and keeps the sense of wonder and urgency we were left with. This helps in keeping the story going at a strong pace and it feels that all the groundwork laid in Dreaming is really starting to pay off.
The Commonwealth sections are particularly impressive. We still know what we were told in Dreaming – the Void is expanding, the Ocisens are one their way to stop the pilgrimage, the Second Dreamer knows she is communicating with the Skylord, and many other things. What we are given is a situation that reached a climax and now the after effects are being felt. Throughout the whole of Temporal the Commonwealth sections are consistently entertaining, and with a couple of nice surprises in there. There are also even less detours this time around which means we get a very nicely focused story.
The Void sections are just as enjoyably and Edeard's story continues in glorious fashion. We are now treated to a more confident Edeard and one who has gained both popularity and notoriety within Makkathran. His ideas are not something the council are used to and his stance against the criminals results in some interesting and page turning action. The powers within the Void exhibited by Edeard, both the ones he discovers and the ones he learns of through others, are amazing and go to show why so many Living Dream members want to pilgrimage to the Void.
This comes to the main revelation of the book: the true nature of the Void. Without giving anything away, the Void becomes a very appealing place to go to. It also effectively ties up that main sub plot, although I fully expect to see more of the Void in the last book with some very interesting things left hanging.
The characters carry through from Dreaming, but the Commonwealth ones do suffer a little in this volume, simply due to short time most of them are on the page. Where Dreaming was around a 60/40 split in favour of the Commonwealth, Temporal is 70/30 in favour of the Void. This gives a great follow through for Edeard and builds on what I think was the strongest element in Dreaming, and probably the strongest in Temporal too.
The Evolutionary Void will return more to the Commonwealth, and with promises of it being larger again than Temporal it has much potential. The setting up for Edeard's story done in Dreaming paid off very well in Temporal, but it feels that we're still awaiting that payoff for the Commonwealth and all the dangers now facing it.
There are a couple of bits that I wasn't entirely convinced about, but without giving away spoilers it's very difficult to put them into words. Nevertheless, these are small concerns that didn't affect my overall enjoyment. The format also follows the same principle of Dreaming – we get a chapter in the Commonwealth followed by another of Inigo's dreams of the Void. It works again this time around, although the size of the Void chapters can be huge, one coming to over a hundred pages.
The Temporal Void delivers a lot of what space opera is good for, just not in huge amounts. Who will enjoy it will depend very heavily on what they thought of Edeard's story in Dreaming – if it's something they loved (like me) then Temporal will make them very happy indeed. But if it was the plot they least enjoyed then Temporal may not live up to their expectations. Either way, the stage has been set for an action packed and very promising conclusion. Another highly recommended novel.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on Implantation of a duodenal-jejunal bypass sleeve for managing obesity in November, 2013.
January 2018: The device used in this procedure (EndoBarrier) no longer has a current CE mark. The CE mark is necessary for medical devices to be marketed in the European Union. A non CE marked device can only be used in the context of clinical investigations with MHRA and research ethical approval.
Obesity is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or more. It is a risk factor for comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease and hypertension. Weight loss reduces the risks of comorbidities and improves long-term survival.
Obesity is managed by dietary advice, exercise, lifestyle changes and medication. Bariatric surgery is considered as a treatment option in selected patients whose BMI is over 40 kg/m2, or over 35 kg/m2 for patients with other significant comorbidities, if they have not lost enough weight using non‑surgical measures.
Surgical procedures aim to help patients lose weight by restricting the size of the stomach (for example, gastric banding or sleeve gastrectomy) and/or by decreasing the patient's capacity to absorb food (for example, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or biliopancreatic diversion).
Coding recommendations
G54.3 Endoscopic insertion of tubal prosthesis into duodenum
Y70.5 Temporary operations
Your responsibility
This guidance represents the view of NICE, arrived at after careful consideration of the evidence available. When exercising their judgement, healthcare professionals are expected to take this guidance fully into account. However, the guidance does not override the individual responsibility of healthcare professionals to make decisions appropriate to the circumstances of the individual patient, in consultation with the patient and/or guardian or carer.
Commissioners and/or providers have a responsibility to implement the guidance, in their local context, in light of their duties to have due regard to the need to eliminate unlawful discrimination, advance equality of opportunity, and foster good relations. Nothing in this guidance should be interpreted in a way that would be inconsistent with compliance with those duties.
Commissioners and providers have a responsibility to promote an environmentally sustainable health and care system and should assess and reduce the environmental impact of implementing NICE recommendations wherever possible.

Wild mushroom and foraged greens omelette
The perfect omelette is all about pan control: too hot and the eggs will scramble; too cold and it will be sure to stick.
- 3 eggs
- 10g butter
- 20g wild mushrooms
- 3 shredded leaves wild garlic, rape greens (tough stalks removed), or small bunch chervil, depending on what is available
- Wild garlic flowers, to garnish (optional)
Crack the eggs into a bowl, season, and break them with a fork.
Melt the butter in a fairly hot pan, add the mushrooms and sweat for a minute until they release their natural water.
Now add the eggs and, with the back of a fork, mix them well, round and round, shaking the pan gently.
Allow the eggs to cook over a low heat, and once they begin to set around the edge, remove the pan from the heat. Be brave here: the middle will look uncooked but the heat in the pan will continue cooking the omelette.
Add the shredded greens, season and gently fold over the edges while tilting the pan.
Roll the omelette up into a cigar shape until it reaches the other side of the pan.
Tip the pan completely over on to a plate so that the rolled omelette falls out, slightly soft in the centre.
Garnish with flowers if using.
