Scottish Government approved Abronhill high closure last week. Image is copyright of Scott Campbell/ Cumbernauld Media.
CUMBERNAULD'S Socialist Party branch members have poured cold water over the Scottish Government's backing of North Lanarkshire Council plans to merge Abronhill High with Cumbernauld High School.
The Scottish Socialist Party branch in Cumbernauld and Kilsyth are just the latest people to add their voices to the ongoing discourse being vocalised by activists, campaigners, politicians, residents and students at Abronhill High School.
On June 28th, 2013, the Scottish Government approved North Lanarkshire Council plans to close Abronhill High School next August, and then move education to Cumbernauld High School, with the promise of a new build school in the coming years, as a direct result.
Local SSP spokesperson Willie O'Neill, however, says that Abronhill has simply been "let down".
He said: "Abronhill parents have been let down again by the Government's decision to uphold the proposed closure of Abronhill High. It would appear that politicians of whatever stripe and at whatever level of Government cannot see beyond the financial bottom line when it comes to making decisions about children's education. Valid concerns about the safety of kids travelling to the new school and the educational impact of this change have been completely ignored once again."
The SSP has pledged to continue to support local campaigners against the school closure.
Mr O'Neill added: "We will continue to offer our support to the local campaign group in their attempt to reverse this decision and to ensure that Abronhill High has a future beyond next year."
The group's comments come on the day that letters from the Scottish Government appear to be consulting local education chiefs on plans to close Cumbernauld College as part of the establishment's merger with Motherwell College.

maira kalman: my decorator of choice
New York illustrator Maira Kalman paints rooms that seem to be everything I want in a home: sunny, jumbly and way, way, way aesthetically pleasing. If her book The Principles of Uncertainty and her illustrated edition of The Elements of Style are any indication, Kalman's world is a beautiful one. I want to find a way to wrangle myself an invitation to her home for tea and cake.

Jenn Hovland from Fleur de Louise Flower Studio is super talented and taught a class to make a beautiful heart for Valentines Day in association with the Minnesota Horticultural Society at Bad Weather Brewery last week.
This is what Jenn said about the class.
"We had 60 students on Tuesday night, It was great fun! Most were groups of friends or Moms and daughters. We had one little girl (about 7) otherwise the group ranged from 20-65+ A lot of energy in the room! "
"Bad Weather Brewery is very hip and cool and a beautiful space. It had quite a crowd for a Tuesday night, you should definitely check it out. Also, it has a small parking lot (free) which is a plus on West 7th."
There are a bunch of great classes you can take as we move out of winter and into spring to keep your green thumb green.
Click onto this link to find more and until then enjoy making your hearts this weekend.

Meliodas (talking to a group of three): All right fresh from the oven it's the Boar Hat Pie that made The Boar Hat famous.
It looks great. Let's eat some pie.
The three men then spit it out.
You should have known our reputation for having really good booze but the food not so good.
All three of them then say "You might have mentioned that."
One of them says while rolling up his sleeves "Are you messing with us kid."

æDaily ShowÆ æreporterÆ jokes, because he canBy Brian Balthazar
NBC News producer
March 10, 2005
Stephen Colbert is a man who has found his niche.
Wickedly smart, always clever and occasionally goofy, what other career path to take than comedy? But it took a cathartic moment to convince him to abandon his fears and pursue the art of making people laugh, or, as he has described his career to his young children, æsaying silly things for a living.Æ
Born and raised in South Carolina, Colbert began making a name for himself in Chicago as a member of the famed ōSecond Cityö improv troupe where he met two friends that shared his twisted sense of humor Ś Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello. The threesome moved to New York and developed ōExit 57,ö a half-hour sketch comedy series that ran for two seasons during the mid-æ90s on Comedy Central.
A correspondent and standout on ōThe Daily Show with Jon Stewart,ö since 1997, Colbert has reported on an eclectic mix of subjects, but shines most when heÆs covering the foibles of Washington politicos. As a commerical pitchman, heÆs the funniest thing to happen to Mr. Goodwrench since ... well, ever. Now his knack for satire has propelled him into no less than three films set for release this year.
While still maintaining his post as political correspondent on ōThe Daily Show,ö Colbert has reunited with Sedaris and Dinello to create the big-screen version of his successful Comedy Central series, ōStrangers with Candy,ö an æinterpretationÆ on the classic and typically moralistic afterschool specials ... except the central character happens to be a 46-year-old ex-junkie prostitute whoÆs back in high school. Why not?
You recently returned from The Sundance Film Festival, where the film version of ōStrangers With Candyö was one of the first films purchased. Explain to us non-insiders what this means and why this is a great thing.
But itÆs a good sign!
You work for, literally, years trying to get something together, and you show it at the festival in order to get a distributor. Well, you show it at the festival for someone to see, and if youÆre lucky, someone decides to distribute it.
How did you find out about the deal?
Sounds like an excellent wake-up callģ
Someone once told me that it has never really been your interest, or your goal, to be famous. Is that true?
It has never been your motivation though.
It must be devastating to be going through such a meteroric rise then.
The way I see, it, when people interview you, they want one of two things Ś they either want you to æbeÆ funny, or they want you to talk about æwhat it isÆ to be funny.
Well mission accomplished. Okay, IÆm just teasing. What was the point in your life when you realized that you were going to pursue comedy? In of itself it requires an admission to yourself that youÆre funny Ś and that strikes me as a difficult thing to do.
Yeah, no pressure at all in show business. You chose a career thatÆs much less stressful than ...
So then there had to be a point in your life when you realized that you really could make a living at this. Was that around the same time?
Speaking of fraud, even though the mainstream media acknowledges that ōThe Daily Showö is fakeģ
ģDo you find it interesting that mainstream networks have still tried to inject ōThe Daily Showö into their newscasts?
Well, by having you, or other cast members on their show, donÆt you think theyÆre hoping that youÆll inject some æfunnyÆ into the newscast?
Before doing ōThe Daily Show,ö you did some spots for a major network Ś I wonÆt name names ģ did it have a satirical bent to it?
I only did two pieces, only one of which was ever broadcast. They didnÆt like what I was doing, and I certainly didnÆt like what I was being asked to do. It just wasnÆt a good mix. They wanted me to be witty like the weatherman is witty. They wanted me to æquipÆ Ś they didnÆt really want satire.
All I know is I pitched 20 pieces in a row and they got shot down. So I thought æmaybe there is something else out there for me.Æ
I was only doing it as a day job Ś I didnÆt have any pretensions of being a Correspondent, but I had a wife and a child, and I was living in New York, and I was unemployed. I thought: æthat sounds like a good idea ģ that sounds like it might have cash associated with it.Æ
But it actually set me up well to go over to ōThe Daily Showö because when I went to ōThe Daily Showö I had press credentials from ABC news, where æmore Americans got there news than from any other source,Æ at the time.
You initially stayed away from politics in your early days as an improvisational actor, is that right?
What caused the change?
But thatÆs what changed it. I literally got a job where they asked me to do it and I did my best.
And now youÆve got three, count æem, three films coming out: ōBewitched,ö ōStrangers with Candyö and ōThe Great New Wonderful.ö Is this the face of things to come? ōStephen Colbert: Movie Star, Journalist, Denture Wearer?ö
ōThe Daily Show with Jon Stewartö airs Monday through Thursday
at 11pm ET, 10pm CT, on Comedy Central.

Many UC librarians have wondered about the timing of CDL announcements for new resources such as e-journal publishers or databases. In particular, they wonder why there is sometimes a lag between the time new resources are announced and the availability of cataloging records produced by the Shared Cataloging Program (SCP) for campus library catalogs, CDL Directory records, and links between citations and full-text items.
CDL has been working internally to coordinate better the processes contributing to the timing of when a newly licensed resource is announced. We have done this both to understand the current situation and to plan how we can improve these processes. A working draft of a document capturing the processes that reflect the various and complex dependencies is available at available at http://www.cdlib.org/libstaff/announce-flow.pdf.
The ideal sequence is when CDL confirms that all the appropriate campuses can access a newly-licensed resource, the cataloging should be complete (and available from SCP and in the CDL Directory) and linking should be complete or available within a very short time period. The resource should be announced in the next CDLINFO and posted on the "What's New" portion of the CDL site. In reality, this is usually easier said than done, and a balance sometimes must be struck between taking immediate advantage of the availability of a resource and creating the records and access paths to the resource.
There was a time last fall, when a particularly large number of new e-journals became available, and cataloging lagged behind some of the announcements. Cataloging by SCP and for the CDL Directory are now caught up. We are exploring some additional steps to speed this process up, including the following possibilities:
–Giving the SCP catalogers access to a new resource before access for everyone is turned on, so they can catalog resources in advance of the wider announcement
–Allowing campuses to get SCP records directly from UCSD on a weekly basis (rather than getting the SCP records from CDL on a monthly basis).
In a nutshell, the agreed-upon policy is as follows: SCP records for new packages will be cataloged as quickly as possible given the number of titles involved. Ordinarily this happens within a few weeks after access is turned on, though some special cases (many titles, foreign language content, etc.) may take much longer.
If you have questions or comments about this process or suggestions for additional improvement, please contact Steve Toub, CDL Web Design Manager at (510) 987-0078 or firstname.lastname@example.com .

The scores indicate basic academic skills in which you are strong, and areas in which you may need help. The Accuplacer Placement Test helps you to determine the English, reading and mathematics courses most appropriate for you as required by Minnesota State policy.
Students may substitute eligible ACT, MCA, or SAT scores instead of the Accuplacer if those scores meet eligibility requirements. A full listing of equivalent testing scores and their prerequisite equivalents can be found here (pdf)

If you are taking a practical car assessment at the Hendon Test Centre in London, then you might be interested in knowing which major multi-lane roundabouts you might be taken on by the DSA examiners.
Mill Hill Circus Roundabout
You might be asked to turn right from Mill Hill Broadway to the A41, this is the 3rd exit, or you might just be following the road ahead (2nd exit) from the A41 northbound towards Apex Corner.
Apex Corner
There are many different routes that include this Multi-lane roundabout intersecting the A41 with the 70mph A1 dual carriageways.
The more difficult routes approach from Selvage lane (the only approach not controlled by traffic lights, you will either be turning right towards Brent Cross or following the road ahead towards Stirling Corner.
Stirling Corner Borehamwood
The final major multi-lane roundabout you might get on a Hendon Test Centre route is stirling corner. The main issue with this junction is the approach is fast, and some candidates get confused by the number of exits (it has 5).
If you would like to pass your London driving test first time in Hendon, then you might be interested in my instructional video which covers the more tricky parts of some of the routes where many candidates have failed in the past.

The last weeks of 2011 were a blur of activity and Christmas preparations. We had my husbands Mum and Dad over from the UK for three weeks in November. Then we all got sick, one after the other, including the baby. Then...my husband hurt his back very badly and was bedbound for 5 days, I played nursey-wifey-hosty-mummy. It was an exhausting and trying time to say the least.
Amongst it all I managed to continue crafting....but no blogging.
I am now hopelessly behind. I AM determined to get back on track but it may take a few days (=nap times). I have lots to show.
I will start with the Quilt Along progress. I am up to date in the Skill Builder Sampler which, all things considered is a pretty mean feat I reckon.
Without further ado I present Blocks 17-22.
Block #17 - Starry Night. A paper foundation pieced block. Love it. Love the technique. The precision. Love the end product. I don't love the waste involved although I'm sure experience makes one better. Am so happy with my work on this block. Yay!
Block #19 - Circle of Geese. the last of the foundation piecing. I had wondered how on earth people made this block. Now I know! Again, loving the precision, not so much the wastage.
Block #20 - Orange Windows. An unmitigated disaster. Partially because I didn't read the instructions properly and didn't allow for extra on the background block. Primarily because although I didn't have the recommended heat'n'bond, or similar product, I ploughed ahead. I tried to substitute Uhu glue. With little success. This was a machine applique exercise that I failed miserably. I am certain if I did it again, PROPERLY, I could DO it. I love the design and the colours, my execution not so much.
Block #20 - Circles. We were given a few different applique methods to try. I prefer to hand baste my shapes and then iron down on the template. I then hand, or needle turn, appliqued my circles into a Christmas tree configuration. I was just getting in the festive mood. I like needle turn applique. Who would have thunk it?!
Block #21 - Applique block 3, we could choose our own design and technique. I chose this Topeka Rose design. Very traditional. I was a bit concerned about how the modern fabrics would get along with such a traditional design and technique but I am thrilled with it. A lot of applique is in the prep, templates, fabric choices and cutting, basting and placement. Once I got into the groove it seemed to sew itself. I finished this baby on New Years Eve, so technically my final crafty output for 2011.
Block #22 - Flowering Snowball. The start of the curves skills. I have never sewn curves before. I must admit I was a little anxious but I pinned diligently and sewed slowly and voila this happy, and FLAT, block. I am looking forward to the rest of the curves blocks. I am crossing my fingers for a drunkards path block.
That brings the Skill Builder Quilt Along up to date. There are just 14 more blocks to go.
Much, much more to come.

Local school teacher resigns in midst of Ebola scare
Local school teacher resigns in midst of Ebola scare
LOUISVILLE. Ky. —
This morning a local school teacher who performs mission work in Kenya is blaming her resignation on the Ebola scare.
Susan Sherman taught students at Saint Margaret Mary on Shelbyville Road.
In her letter of resignation, Sherman said she had been told many students, teachers, parents and parishioners are unhappy with her decision to travel to Kenya.
Sherman stated she is committed to going to there once a year.
Sherman told WLKY news she blames her situation on ignorance.
Kenya has not reported a single case of Ebola.
The archdiocese of Louisville confirmed the resignation, but a spokesperson refused further comment, saying it is a personnel issue.

Each set of our children got to go on an outing this past weekend. They were both great adventures and I'm glad we got to do fun things with the kids.
The bottom half of the kidlets (the younger ones) were treated to a trip to the zoo. G had the day off because of parent teacher conferences so we loaded up our crew and meandered to Salt Lake for some fun.
At this monkey house (feels just like home) Logan excitedly called me over to see the "skunk monkeys." (See them in the bottom corner?) I thought that was a pretty fitting name for them.
Ellie was sure these pachyderms were just large cows. We've taught her what monkeys and lions and horses and sheep say and look like, guess we forgot an animal.
G was fascinated with this rhinocerous' rear end and told me he would never want to brush his teeth with that toothbrush (notice the creature's tail does look like a nasty old toothbrush).
Josh is much more fascinated by creatures with stealth and deadliness so he has an affinity for wolves and tigers.
Oh, and I was there too. Notice Logan looking weird...yea, that's how he acted in every...single...picture of the day. I do love that kid; it will be so fun to show those off when he is a teenager.
What an adorable set of zoo goers (at least if you ask me).
And the ride home was pretty entertaining as well.
So then it was time to do something awesome with the older kids. We feelt pretty lucky and had scored six tickets to LDS general conference for the Saturday afternoon session. We invited my parents to come with us and I took the three oldest kids to general conference.
We opted to take Trax downtown and forgo the whole parking nightmare. Two of the three oldest DeMoux sprites had never ridden Trax so that was an adventure in and of itself (and Bryce got to act like an old pro on the train).
Even though we left our house two hours before the session, we still cut it pretty close time wise. We arrived at the conference center about 1:30 (we were supposed to be in our seats by then, but we didn't make that).
The kids were not very thrilled to have to wait in the horrendous line with the sun beating down on them (poor dears -- somehow hey don't complain nearly as much when waiting in line a Lagoon).
This was the line behind us once we started moving toward an entrance. It was really nice to have my parents with us. My mom has a way with my kids (actually all kids) so having her influence handy was wonderful.
We listened to conference (ok, the kids listened while doing activity packets I had printed for them because I am nothing if not practical and I know 11, 10 and 8 year olds will likely have a hard time sitting still and not moving for two hours straight).
It was a fabulous session. I particularly enjoyed Elder Holland's talk about the parable of the laborers. I had never thought of that parable in the terms that he shared and I learned a lot (I always do...no wonder I LOVE general conference).
|On the conference center balcony with the Salt Lake Temple in the background.
Surprisingly (at least to me), when I asked the kids at dinner on Sunday evening what they had learned from conference all three of the oldest kids shared messages that had been taught in the Saturday afternoon session that we attended. I fully expected them to remember a story or phrase from another session (because they were more focused on drawing and word puzzles while in the conference center) but no, being there influenced them more than I thought and that made my heart smile just a bit.
Lest you think we are overly spiritual (insert gigantic laugh here), our kids don't just sit and listen to conference all weekend. We expect them to come and listen whenever the prophet speaks, although we often pull out our conference bingo boards during those talks to help keep them from squabbling (that doesn't always work...like for example Sunday morning when kids were screaming and elbowing each other and crying while we tried to hear what President Monson was saying...sigh).
We also have conference tuned on every radio in the house that weekend so as the kids play and color and eat and whatever else hopefully some bits will sink into their brains while their defenses are down (at least that's the plan). We do ask kids 8 and older to watch one full session; they get to choose which one. Since we took the three oldest downtown that took care of our full session requirement, and we got an adventure out of the deal as well.
|You can tell just by looking at them that they are incredible...at least I can.
It was a beautiful day and the kids were amazing. They sat quietly and sang exuberantly along to the intermediate hymn ("Called to Serve" which was a hymn we learned as a family earlier in the year so they were pretty pleased to know all the words without looking at the monitor). I really was just so proud of them that I thought I would burst. They are incredible little people.
Both outings were a success. Chalk one up for the DeMoux grown ups, good work US! (High five, honey.)

CHESTERTON, Ind. (AP) Â? The South Shore commuter rail line in northwestern Indiana plans to add trains to its weekend schedule to ease overcrowding and delays between South Bend and Chicago. Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District spokesman John Parsons says that currently only 53 percent of weekend trains run on time.
The railroad wants to add cars to trains departing Chicago on weekend mornings and add a train that leaves at 9:15 p.m. A morning express train from South Bend to Chicago is also planned.
Parsons says the line carried more than 600,000 passengers on weekends in 2008, compared to 400,000 on weekends four years before.
The district's board is to consider the changes during a meeting on Friday.

June 27, 2014 - Meet Karen, and her 18 month old Pit Bull pup, Barnaby. (Pictured from left to right, Dad, Karen, Barnaby and Grandmom)
Karen suspected that Barnaby had allergies, the insides of his ears are red, he shakes his head back and forth incessantly, and he licks and chews his paws. Her biggest concern was that Barnaby might lose his hearing.
Barnaby was also a few months over due for his yearly immunizations and testing for lyme and heartworm.
Karen, due to two major health challenges in the past year, was unable to work and to provide veterinary care to Barnaby, so she reached out to Sam's Hope for help for their beloved family member.
Barnaby was not enthused about the car ride, he knew very well where he was heading. Not too long after his arrival at the vet's office, he settled in and posed for photos. Yes, he is quite the poser, and such a sweetheart!
Barnaby took his shots and blood tests well, and didn't even complain about having his nails clipped. His lyme and heartworm tests came back negative.
He was given an otic oinment for his ear infections, which should have things cleared up in a week to 10 days. Examination of his paws revealed no redness or sores.
Doc suspects the problem may be seasonal, and due to the pollen.
After a few more photos, for which he happily struck a pose, Barnaby was happily heading out the door with his family, anxious to get far away from the vet's office and back to his home.
July 8, 2014 - Today we dropped off a bag of limited ingredient Lamb and Brown Rice food for Barnaby, hopefully the change of diet will help with his allergies.
July 10, 2014 - Barnaby's ears are getting better, but he isn't there yet. We refilled his prescription, hopefully the second time is the charm!
July 16, 2014 - Barnaby's mom sent us an email update this morning; she said that Barnaby's ears are better, his lips are no longer a bright pink, his paw pads have returned to their normal color, and that his has adapted well to his new food.

Re: 938th Field Artillery Battalion
In reply to:
Re: 938th Field Artillery Battalion
Louie FranklinTurner 11/10/02
Mr Turner,
I gave my Dad your regards and he sends the same to you.
You were correct on all terms. I guess each soldier has his own story. I am now going to type his military story, or profile, for others in the family to see (also for his review). I know I can't provide the stories he could tell if he would, but at least when complete it - it should provide us all with information we've craved for so long. (I will send you a copy.) He did go in with the 45th, that corresponds with his 4 month period. As I said the only numbers he could recall was the 45th. I finally reviewed some maps I found and it follows the 45th even down, along with his memories, to the point of the other German companies being brought in and when, as he said, turned the heat up. He said they were assigned to different companies, even the British (as you said). I have my brother on the path of Dad's DD-214, I told him where I last saw it.
I know there are many others who appreciate all the help you give. I hope they all let you know how much it was apprediated.
My son is a Major in the Army now, he is with special forces. He was in and has now returned from Afghanastan. He was presented with a bronze for his part in Operation Anaconda rescue. He wants me to forward your address to him. He was stationed in Germany for a while and traveled quite a bit while there. He visited some of the places Dad was in. He would probably be able to give you more details than I could pertaining to Dad. He said a lot of things have changed, so he planned on filming it for Dad.
Well, thanks again. I hope to speak to you again soon!
Linda - and Lee R Adams

YouTube screenshot
Pop star, Tom Fletcher seems to be a great husband. He recorded his pregnant wife every day for nine months so he could produce a touching short movie.
The singer became a first-time father last week. His wife Giovanna gave birth to their son Buzz.
The couple put together all the footages during the pregnancy to make a video titled, From Bump to Buzz. The video includes images of Giovanna every single day for nine months, featuring Fletcher singing a new song "Something New." Interestingly, Tom wrote the song specifically for the project.
At the end of the movie, Giovanna walks into the room carrying a bundle in her arms, after what their week-old son appears before the viewers.
Tom recently revealed, on Instagram, "Having a baby makes you the most happy AND most tired you'll ever feel…at the same time…like this."

Letters to the Editor 3/18 Part 3
Downtown clinic a good idea
To the editor:
I agree with Bob Borngresser about putting a Betty Ford Clinic in the Y.M.C.A. building in downtown Hagerstown. I lived in Washington County for 37 years before moving to Greencastle. I know there is very good supply of drunks frequenting your city.
You all could put together a Mickey Mouse brigade to collect drunks around midnight. You could go right to Washington Street, that would give the old folks living in the apartments something to do besides watching people get shot across the street. Then you could go down Franklin Street and collect them as they come out of the gin mills. Next take a lap out the Dual Highway. Because no matter how rich or poor you are, when you stagger from the bar you are just a plain drunk.
If you charged the drunks a good size amount for spending the night at the Betty Ford Clinic (you know what I mean), the name tank would do. Why get fancy? You know it would give the kids something to do - they could line up like watching the parade. Maybe they could put out chairs, or even pay to watch the excitement. And you know you would be doing the service clubs a great favor. Only one is in the city limits. People would go to them then and the gaming commission would collect more money from jars and then charity organizations would get some loot. If you have any room left in the tank, maybe the sheriff's department can get in on the act and grab the drunks in the county.

Sika NZ and BBR Contech are pleased to announce that they have obtained CodeMark Product Certification for SikaWrap Hex FRP
Synlait Milk Ltd
Synlait Milk processing plant was constructed in 2008 and in September 2010, less than two years later, the complex was given a stern test in the form of a 7.1 magnitude rupture of the Greendale Fault Line. The epicenter of this large event was just 16km from Synlait factory with ground accelerations over 0.5g horizontal and 1.0g vertical exceeding the design level shaking for a 1 in 500 year event – Seismic design standard NZS 1170.5:2004.
Reported damage to the structure included cracking to the floor slabs, precast concrete wall cladding panels and precast concrete shear wall panels and BBR Contech was engaged to carry out the specialist remedial crack injection repairs.
Working within the confines of a functioning dairy factory has many challenges such as heat (steam), confined spaces, a labyrinth of pipes to negotiate, and noise to name but a few physical extremes. Additional to this is the critical hygiene procedures under the Animal Products Act 1996 that need to be followed rigorously every time you enter or exit the building.
Epoxy injection repairs to the exterior walls provided additional challenges such as weather and wind extremes with work carried out using a combination of scaffold and swing stage access.

Turli Tava

It is basically every single vecetable prefered cut in small squares or any shapes and baked in the oven. You can choose vegetarean option or you can add any desired meat on top.

We all have Gift Boxes hiding in our cupboards …. we just need to open our eyes to the possibilities
They are in our Pantries, Laundries, Fridges and Bathrooms
These Gift Boxes are in fact repurposed from plastic bottles and the ribbons from strips of plastic bread bags
I have used three styles of bottles:
- Clear – P.E.T. Soda bottle
- Opaque – White Vinegar bottle
- Blue – Liquid Laundry Detergent bottle
- Ruler
- Utility Knife
- Marker Pen
- Sharp Scissors
- Empty Plastic Bottle
- Methylated Spirits to remove template marks
- Coin and Plate or Bottle with curved edges for tracing
- If you have traces of glue to remove, Essential Oils such as Orange Oil, Eucalyptus Oil or Tea Tree Oil, applied with a lint-free rag, will normally do the job
- Ribbon to seal your Gift Box
Step 1:
- Remove labels from your empty plastic bottle. If the label and glue are firmly affixed, rub a little essential oil and rub with a lint-free rag
Step 2:
- Use your Marker Pen and Ruler to draw a line around the circumference of the Plastic Bottle at your desired height. Keep in mind that the final height will be smaller once you fold over the edges
Step 3:
- Use your Utility Knife to cut through the Plastic Bottle along the line you have just marked.
Warning: Be careful with the utility knife as the plastic will be slippery
Step 4:
- Measure the diameter of the opening of your bottle
- Halve this measurement, then add around 25mm [ 1 inch ]
- Use this latter figure to mark down the sides from the four corners [ or, if your bottle is totally circular, 90 degrees apart] of your Plastic Bottle
Step 5:
- Use a Plate or Bottle as a template to mark a tulip shape from the rim of your Plastic Bottle to the points you have just marked
Step 6:
- Use your Scissors to cut around these marks
- Cut slightly wider between each petal to allow room for folding
Step 7:
- Option One: Use the plastic off-cut as your template to draw around to mark a tab and cut using Scissors [ see opaque Gift Box ]
- Option Two: Draw an arc with a Marker Pen using a Coin as your template and cut using Scissors [ see blue Gift Box ]
Step 8:
- Use some Methylated Spirits to remove any pen marks
Step 9:
- Fold in your smaller side petals
Step 10:
- Fold in your larger tabbed petal over and into the opposite petal to close and secure with a ribbon or decorate as you like

Brainerd Lakes Area Fishing Report
My rentals have been finding a few walleyes on Gull Lake in 20-25 feet of water. Setlines have been the best, and it seems that evening and early mornings have been the best. Smaller minnows with smaller jigs have been the key. Crappies and sunfish have been in the deeper basins of most lakes. Jigging read more

Walleyes have been deeper, 25-35 feet seems to be the best this week. Jigging spoons with a minnow head have been the best for me, but always keep a setline nearby. I'm a firm believer that both work well together. Crappies and sunfish are in the same holding pattern, and jigging with a wax worm read more

1/23/14 Walleyes have been pretty slow again this week, due to the massive cold front (-26 this morning). If you do try to chase some eyes, 20-35 feet has been the most consistent.

Over the years, I have, sadly, had more than one occasion to be audience to or a participant in eulogies at memorial services for people who have passed away; most recently, my oldest brother.
What do people REALLY think of you?
Listening to the things said about the dearly departed got me thinking: What if my eulogy were today--what would people say about me? It made me wonder if maybe I'd like to have a memorial service now, before I die, to see just what people would say. Just think about it; if we knew today how people see us, maybe we'd change some things while we still have time.
A bit of research on eulogies reveals that the word is of Greek origin, meaning "good word." Generally, only good words are said about a person at their eulogy.
I guess giving a eulogy is sort of like giving job references; do you know anybody who ever gave out "bad" references? I don't. I mean, are you going to give out the name and number of that boss who just couldn't stand your guts?
So it's the same with a eulogy. Normally a family member or very close friend--and presumably someone who got along well with the deceased--is the presenter, and normally they say only good things.
They often relate stories that epitomize the positive or endearing qualities that, to them anyway, gave the recently departed a favored-person status.
Those stories, though slanted heavily toward the attractive qualities and circumventing the unattractive, might surprise the eulogized person if he or she were there to hear it. They might be surprised at the things that people remember about them, the things that drew other people to them.
On the flip side, the eulogized person might be surprised to hear some of the things that are being said off-camera, away from the microphone, by people talking in little cliques around the room before and after the eulogy.
Those might be the conversations that would provide "the rest of the story." That information might complete the picture and present the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Further research into the origins of the eulogy reveals that, indeed, eulogies are presented for the living at certain events such as retirements or even birthdays; on those occasions they are normally called things like "roast" or "parody."
I think, maybe, I'd prefer my "eulogy" while I'm still alive and kicking to see what people are saying about me. But I am not really comfortable being present when people are talking about me, so I think I'd like to watch the whole thing from a remote location, via a covert closed circuit TV system.
See, that way I can be like the spirit of the eulogized, hovering above the crowd, listening to what they're saying when I'm not in the room. That way, I can hear what people really think about me and, hey, who knows, there's a chance that maybe I might decide to change certain things about me.
Of course, this could be a dual-edged and very sharp sword; I might not like all that I hear.
Oh, I feel pretty sure that there would be some good things said: "Yeah, he was a good friend, give you the shirt off his back if you needed it" or "He worked hard and always gave 110 percent."
I definitely know there would be plenty of humorous stories about stupid stuff I've done.
But I wonder what people would be saying in the little huddles around the room, in groups of two or three, heads close together whispering, glancing around to make sure nobody else can hear.
I wonder; if I could zoom in with my remote camera and turn up the volume, would I hear about some things I did that weren't so great--maybe someone I wronged but didn't realize it?
I wonder if I could move around the room and listen in on the conversations, would I like what I hear; or would I learn something about myself that made me embarrassed, or regretful, or ashamed.
As painful as it might be, would it be instructive to know the whole story? I think so.
So, here's my draft plan; let me know what you think.
At my next birthday ending in zero or five, I'm going to set up a "eulogy" for myself--maybe call it a roast so I don't freak anybody out. Cocktails at 6, dinner at 7, roast to begin about 7:30.
As the crowd gathers and the cliques begin to form, I will be hovering, spirit-like, via my closed circuit system; listening, collecting data--good, bad, ugly.
As dinner begins, I'll have my master of ceremonies announce that I have been unavoidably delayed and I asked that they start the event without me.
At the appropriate time, the MC will begin the roast. I will listen to all the prepared speeches, all the off-mike stuff, all the things intended and unintended, and take copious notes.
Then, as the MC is giving his closing remarks, apologizing for the guest of honor's absence, I will burst in the back door resplendent in a black-tie tuxedo, shouting, "Let's get this party started," waving to the applauding crowd like a parade grand marshal.
I will take the microphone, thank everyone for their kind comments I was sure they'd made in my absence, and tell them all why friends, family, and acquaintances such as they are important to me.
I will apologize to those I've wronged and promise to try to do better in the future.
I will pledge to be a better person, a better friend, a better family member, a better business associate, a better citizen.
Then I will steal a line from Toby Keith and proclaim "Beer For My Men, Whiskey For My Horses," cue the music, and proceed to mingle among the crowd.
When I shared a version of this idea with my just-turned-18-year-old son, he brought me back down to Earth by asking, "Dad, what if nobody shows up?"
Hmmm. I may need to re-think this. Any views from the Week-Enders?

Think just because you've long packed away all of your sundresses and sandals that your shades have got to go, too? Nope. Even though the sun is now taking a bit more time off, the winter months can still be just as blinding as the brightest day in August — especially when a reflective blanket of white snow covers the ground. But, we agree that you may not be able to sport the same sunnies all year round. After all, you have to consider what will go best with your winter coat and scarf.

Hero Background
Amidst the misty mountains within the northern reaches of the Land of Dawn, reside an ancient and mysterious race of Centaurs. These centaurs guard a fountain that rests on the highest mountain peak. This fountain is said to give the gift of life. Dark forces have relentlessly tried to gain the power found within the waters of this fountain, but only to be time and time again be thwarted by the centaurs. However, as time went on, the centaurs tired and attrition soon took hold. It was not until he arrived. Where throw his mastery of nature's wrath he was able to punish all the invaders of the fountain. Hylos had become a legendary figure within the annals of the Land of Dawn.
Hylos Design Sketches
The human headed and horse bodied Hylos is adorned with a sapphire colored horn, he wields the staff of a high priest.
Design Strategy
Frontal Display
As he is justice incarnate, while also being an incredibly holy person, we have decided to design him with white as the base foundational color. His white body, mane and armor gives off a spiritual feeling. The golden lining of his armor and pauldrons also gives him a certain high status.
Hylos's staff is very unique, in that it is designed specifically for that of a high priest of the centaurs, possessing great magical power, this golden staff is imbued with the power of a blue sapphire. This staff empowers Hylos with its holy reverence.
High Detailed Display
As Hylos is a tank, we designed him a strong physical form, his single horn also give him a feeling of empowerment, the staff further enhances his aesthetic strength. Hylos truly does look like a vindicator of evil.
No one knows truly what Hylos is thinking, as he broods over the edge of the mountain looking down towards the Land of Dawn. Overlooking the Holy Rock his eternal vigil continues, as the Grand Warden never rests.

Lull after the storm
Geopolitical developments in West Asia have hijacked the Arab Spring. This is creating more instability in the region, writes Brahma Chellaney.india Updated: Feb 22, 2012 23:24 IST
A year after the Arab Spring came to symbolise the ascent of people's power, hope has given way to a bleak sequel. The democratic awakening has fallen prey to international geopolitics that has helped cleave the Arab Spring into two parts, with the America-backed kingdoms escaping change but the non-monarchical republics coming under varying degrees of pressure.
The promise of a new era of democracy has been blighted in much of the region by continuing political repression. Worse, war clouds have appeared on the horizon.
What began as protests against food prices, corrupt leaders and lack of government accountability has assumed ominous dimensions. From the rampant but largely unreported human-rights abuses in post-Muammar Gaddafi Libya to the increasing bloodshed in multi-ethnic Syria, the developments are making the future of the extended region from the Maghreb and the Sahel through the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea more volatile and uncertain.
Bahrain stands out for carrying out the region's most-successful suppression of an Arab Spring movement, thanks to a Saudi-led military intervention and continuing Western backing. Whereas Cairo's Tahrir Square has come to epitomise the power of ordinary people to rise up against tyranny, Bahrain's Pearl Roundabout was simply obliterated with bulldozers — an action that was followed up with arrest and torture of activists as well as of the doctors and nurses who treated the injured. Yet a year later, family-run Bahrain's future looks anything but stable.
Exacerbating the regional instability is America's escalating geopolitical confrontation with Iran, with both sides currently engaged in a psychological war. Israel has stepped up its own 'shadow war' with Iran, with the two sides ratcheting up a blamegame over targeted assassinations and bomb incidents. India risks becoming their proxy battleground.
Washington, by seeking to strangle the Iranian economy through an oil-export embargo, has raised the risks of missteps and military hostilities. History attests to the linkage between oil embargo and war. Japan's surprise Pearl Harbour attack in 1941 was triggered in some measure by a US-led oil import embargo to squeeze the Japanese economy. America's move to choke off Iranian oil exports, however, is faltering: India, Japan, China and South Korea — accounting for three-fifths of Iran's oil sales — have given Washington a polite brushoff.
Four trends in the Arab world have become pronounced. The first is the way the Arab Spring movements are reopening traditional fault lines along sectarian and tribal divides and fomenting new internal conflict. For example, if the once-peaceful, secular Syria becomes another Lebanon or Afghanistan, a sectarian division of that country is conceivable, given that its Sunni Arab and minority populations are largely concentrated in geographically separate areas.
A second trend has exposed a vein of religious extremism and promoted the ascendancy of Islamist influence, including in states that have experienced regime change. New opportunities have been opened up for Islamist movements to exert influence and bring themselves to the centrestage, as in Morocco, Kuwait, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Jordan, Tunisia and Syria. The oil sheikhdoms, in any case, are theocratic states, which today are aiding Islamist causes in their own backyard.
This is best exemplified by Saudi Arabia and its new avatar, Qatar, that has developed cosy ties with the Muslim Brotherhood in its various incarnations across the Arab world. Qatar — the seat of current US secret talks with the Taliban — has leveraged its natural gas wealth and unbridled ambition to emerge as a leading backer of Islamist causes, in parallel to the role Saudi Arabia has long played.
The third trend is represented by the increasingly ugly regional geopolitics, which pits the powerful 'Sunni Crescent' led by Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates against the beleaguered 'Shiite Crescent' states — Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.
The regional contest for geopolitical influence between Turkey and Iran — the inheritors of the Ottoman and Persian Empires — has cast a lengthy shadow over the Arab Spring. This shadow has been made darker by the interventionist impulse of the Saudi and Qatari monarchies, working to create puritanical Islamist surrogates in other states.
Tiny Qatar, for example, has played an important role in the past year in ousting the Gaddafi regime (including by covertly deploying hundreds of troops in Libya), aiding the Sunni insurrection in Syria, backing Tunisia's Islamist party leader Rachid Ghannouchi, and brokering the departure of Yemen's brutal dictator Ali Abdullah Saleh, who, instead of being tried for the killing of hundreds of demonstrators, was recently granted entry into the US, in keeping with the foreign-policy maxim, "He may be a bastard, but he is our bastard."
A fourth trend is that the Arab Spring has become a springboard for playing great-power geopolitics. Syria, at the centre of the region's sectarian fault lines, has emerged as the principal battleground for such Cold War-style geopolitics. Whereas Russia is intent on keeping its only military base outside the old Soviet Union in Syria's Mediterranean port of Tartus, America seems equally determined to install a pro-Western regime in Damascus.
Moscow continues to arm and politically shield the Bashar al-Assad regime, while Washington has just announced the resumption of military aid to despotic Bahrain, after rewarding Saudi Arabia with a mammoth arms package. Iran, for its part, wants democracy in Bahrain but status quo in Syria. The Arab League — still the world's premier organisation of tyrants — sent a delegation headed by a tainted military general to monitor Syria's human rights situation.
The harsh reality is that such geopolitics has effectively hijacked the Arab Spring.
The Arabs' democratic aspirations will likely remain unrealised unless the sharpening geopolitics backfires and the oil sheikhdoms' insulation from change wears away. Given the way well-entrenched autocratic presidents have fallen from power in Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen, the durability of the region's monarchs is anything but assured.

I've chronic depression, anxiety, insomnia & bad hallucinations 😢
I'm really finding life hard & just keep deteriorating. I've currently got the Home Treatment Team coming in regularly & I'm on antidepressants, anti psychotics & sleeping tablets.

Is my mental health ever going to improve? Everything is sooooo over whelming & I even struggle to function doing everyday tasks from self care to simply making a drink 😕
Any help & advice would be much appreciated ...
kind Regards

Hard goods retailers like Home Depot
Moreover, each of its divisions contributed to the revenue increase with top-line growth: The TruGreen lawn care, landscaping, and snow removal service had the best revenue increase at 10% (although it still lost money for the company this quarter). Home-warranty provider American Home Shield (AHS) came in second with 9% revenue growth (but a 24% increase in operating income). Third and fourth places went to Merry Maids, with 7% revenue growth and an operating loss for the quarter, and Terminix, with 5% revenue growth and 8% operating-income growth. Last place in the revenue race went to American Residential Services and American Mechanical Services (ARS/AMS), which posted 2% revenue growth, yet continued to drag the company down with its operating losses, which quadrupled from $1 million to $4 million this quarter.
In other news, ServiceMaster turned free cash flow (FCF) positive this quarter, as it was able to generate $16 million worth of cash from operations, versus a loss of $33 million this time last year. The improved operating performance allowed the company to rake in a shiny new penny per share in free cash flow, despite the company's 19% increase in capital expenditures.
That's good news, as far as it goes. But alert Fools will already have latched onto the fact that $0.01 in free cash flow is far less than the $0.04 in GAAP profits that the company reported. That is a discrepancy that bears watching over the next few quarters. We will want to see FCF track GAAP profits much more closely than they did in this quarter and, for ServiceMaster to prove itself a real bargain, it would be nice to see FCF growth begin to outpace GAAP profit growth as time goes on.
While awaiting those hoped-for developments, however, dividend lovers (such as subscribers to Motley Fool Income Investor) can take comfort in the fact that ServiceMaster also pays a hefty 3.5% dividend.
