In the very likely event that your team will be given the opportunity to spontaneously organize games for children and youth at ministry locations, we have provided a list for you of possible activities designed to be easy and enjoyable.
Number of Players: 6-15
Playing site: Large open area
Object of game: To untie the knot of people in the group
To Play:
All the players stand in a circle, shoulder-to-shoulder, and join hands with two other people. No one should hold hands of the same person or join hands with the person next to him. Now, everyone tries to untangle the human knot and end up in a huge circle. They cannot break grip with other hands but pivoting hands is allowed. The players may crawl over, under and through one another in order to untie the knot.
Number of Players: 10+
Materials: Several Frisbees (or other similar objects that can be stationary on the ground)
Playing site: Large open area
Object: To touch a Frisbee without touching anyone else
To Play:
A few Frisbees are placed on the ground. One person acts as the referee. The other players run around the area singing. When the leader says, "Islands!" everyone runs to touch a Frisbee. The last person to touch a Frisbee is out. Any two people that touch each other in the process of getting to the Frisbee are also out. As people are eliminated, some of the Frisbees are removed until there is only one left.
Shepherd and Wolf
Number of Players: 10-50
Playing site: Large open area
Object: For the sheep to reach the shepherd without being captured by the wolf
To Play:
The leader of the game designates one player to be the "shepherd" and other to be the "wolf." The remaining players are "sheep." If the group is large, perhaps over 15 or 20, more than one wolf and shepherd can be chosen.
The sheep all line up at one end of the field. The shepherd is at the other end, with the wolf between them. The shepherd calls his sheep by name, two or three at a time. (This game is really funny if you have the sheep make "baaaaa" noises while they are running down the field.) The try to reach him without being caught by the wolf. When a sheep is caught by the wolf, he is taken to the wolf's "den," a designated portion of the field, such as a tree or a corner. The shepherd may go to the den and rescue the sheep only when the wolf is not there, and the wolf may go to the shepherd's fold to capture sheep only when the shepherd is not there.
When the last stray sheep is either caught by the wolf or reaches the shepherd, the number of sheep each is totaled. If the wolf has a greater number than the shepherd, he wins. If the shepherd has more sheep than the wolf, the shepherd wins.
Number of Players: Any
Materials: Music player or person making music.
Playing site: Medium to large open area, inside or outside
Object of game: To remain in the game as long as possible without getting "out"
To Play:
Choose one person to be in charge of the music. When the music starts, everyone else dances, the crazier the better. When the music stops, the dancers must freeze in their position. Anyone caught moving after that is out. Play continues until there is one person left, the winner.
Number of Players: 10+
Materials: 2 pieces of cardboard, about 10 inches square for each team (the more players you have, the more teams you can create)
Playing site: Large open area (mostly successful on dry ground. If it is very wet, consider using sturdy cardboard or plastic)
Object: To have all of your team to the goal and return before the other team does
To Play:
The players are divided into two teams. A goal is established for each team so that each team will have the same distance to travel to get to it. The teams stand in lines facing their respective goals. The first person in line for each team is given two pieces of cardboard. The first member of each team goes to his goal and back, walking on his pieces of cardboard. He does this by picking up a piece of cardboard with each step and placing it in front of the food with which he is about to step. When he returns to his team, the next person does the same thing, and in turn the rest of the team, until one team has all its members go to the goal and back. That team wins.
Number of Players: 5-25
Playing site: Large open area
Object of game: For "it" to tag a player
To Play:
All players except "it" are seated in a circle on the floor (or ground). "It" walks around the outside of the circle tapping the head of each player he passes. With each tap he says either "duck" or "goose." (Feel free to use the language of the country you are in so they understand what is being said.) If he says "duck" no response is required. However, when "it" says "goose," the player being tapped tries to tag "it." "It" flees, running in one direction only around the circle until he reaches the spot formerly occupied by the pursuing player. If he succeeds in sitting in the unoccupied spot without being tagged, the pursuer becomes the new "it" and play resumes as before. If the pursuer tags "it" during the chase, then "it" must sit in the middle of the circle until another player gets tagged and replaces him.
Number of Players: 6-20
Materials: Rubber gym ball (or soft rubber ball)
Playing site: Rectangular one-story house with a good yard for groups of people to run all the way around the house
Object: To capture all the members of the opposing team
To Play:
One team has the ball and throws it over the house shouting "Eeny-einy-over!" The throwers then run clockwise around the house and try to tag as many members of the receiving team as possible. Meanwhile, the receiving team must get the ball and run clockwise around the house to avoid being caught. They are considered free if they get around the first corner of the house without getting tagged. If a person is tagged, he joins the other team.
If the ball does not make it over when thrown, there is no penalty. The throwers simply try again. Play ends when all players are on the same team.
Number of Players: 8-40
Materials: Rubber gym ball (or soft rubber ball)
Playing site: Rectangular one-story house with a good yard for groups of people to run all the way around the house
Object: To capture all the members of the opposing team
To Play:
Form four teams. Have each team stand in a circle and pick one person to be Lazarus. Have Lazarus stand in the middle of the circle. On "go," have each team use one roll of toilet paper to wrap Lazarus. The first team to finish wrapping up Lazarus with the entire roll wins in round one. Have each Lazarus stand still until all four Lazaruses are wrapped up. Then call out, "Lazarus, come forth!" The first Lazarus to free him- or herself of all the toilet paper is the winner in round two.
Play as many times as time and toilet paper supplies allow.
Number of Players: 10-30
Playing site: Open area, inside or outside
Object of game: To walk the gauntlet without smiling or laughing
To Play:
Players are divided into two teams which line up in rows facing each other, forming the gauntlet. Two players, one from each team, stand at opposite ends of the gauntlet and bow to each other, calling "Hagoo." "Hagoo" means "come here" in the language of the Flingit Indians of Alaska, who invented the game. The two players walk toward each other each maintaining eye contact, then pass each other and walk to the end of the line. Both players try to keep a straight face the whole time. In the meantime, players forming the gauntlet are trying their best to make the challengers laugh without touching them. The challengers who walk the gauntlet successfully rejoin their own team. Those who smile or laugh join the opposing team. The games ends when there is only one team, or when the players can take no more from excessive laughter.
Number of Players: 10-30
Object of game: To guess who is directing the group to change from one motion to another
To Play:
One person is chosen to be "it" and is then sent out of the room. One of the people left in the group is chosen to be the leader. The leader of the group directs the group in some kind of simple motion (i.e. hand-clapping, thumb-twiddling, whistling, tongue-clicking, etc.). All others in the group imitate the leader so everyone is doing the same thing, together.
"It" is called back into the room and stands in the middle of the circle the others have formed. The leader changes the motion repeatedly, a new motion about every 10-15 seconds. He and the others in the group try to keep together so that they leader remains inconspicuous.
As the group goes through the pattern of motions, "it" tries to guess who the leader is. "It" gets only three guesses. If "it" doesn't figure out who the leader is, he has to be "it" again (maximum of two times). The leader always becomes the next "it."
Number of Players: 8-12 per circle
Materials: 1-2 soccer balls per circle
Object of game: To score the least amount of points
To Play:
Players are in circle formation, facing in. Each is in wide straddle step with the side of the foot against their neighbor's. The hands are on the knees. The object of the game is to throw one of the balls between the legs of any player before they can get their hands down and stop it. Each time the ball goes between the legs of an individual, a point is scored against that individual. The players having the least points against them are the winners. Be sure the players catch and roll the ball rather than bat it. Players must keep their hands on their knees until a ball is thrown at them and their feet must remain spread out to maintain the shape of the bridge.
Number of Players: 8-25 per circle
Object of game: For the cat to tag the mouse when they are outside the circle
To Play:
This fun game is good for outdoors or indoors if you have enough space. Select someone to become the "Mouse" and someone to be the "Cat." Have the rest of the class form a circle while holding hands. Instruct the kids that no matter what they have to remain holding hands. The "Mouse" goes inside the circle and the "Cat" goes outside the circle. The "Mouse" goes in and out of the circle under the players arms while the "Cat" tries to tag him. The "Cat" cannot go in the circle. When the "Mouse" gets tagged he becomes the new "Cat" and the first "Cat" joins the children. Another child gets to be the Mouse. You could change the names of the two main players to David and Goliath if you like.
Most teams have the opportunity to conduct a VBS-type ministry day with children at our local churches. In the event that your team is asked to do this, you can use this template below to develop your plan. The following information is based on a five lesson series for elementary to middle school age children. The lessons can be used as a series of individual lessons or all together, as needed. Your team leader will have more resources related to this series. This information is to be used as a template. You can use the material as presented or you can customize it to fit other stories. You will need to make adjustments based on the situation (number of kids, ages, language, culture, materials, space available etc.). Important Note: Be sure that all songs, crafts and activities are culturally appropriate! Check with your team leader or in-country staff to discuss further before the event begins.
This is a suggested format for each lesson. Depending on group size these activities may have to be done in station form.

Wrapped Up And Falling Off
bassfiend72 replied to bassfiend72's topic in Hard BaitsFirst thank you for the response. Im assuming nobody that responded has used this type of wrap. The tissue paper and water slide type wraps can look really good. I have found they are unable to print any type of metallic colors. I dont believe there is any type of clearcoat that will adhere to a vinyl wrap material.This is the reason for the post!
Wrapped Up And Falling Off
bassfiend72 posted a topic in Hard BaitsHello guys. I have a blank swimbait I have been working on for some time. I had ended up trying to wrap a photo image on it. I ended up using a 3m vinyl wrapped image on there. The fish seem to like it anyway. My problem is the clearcoat I am using will not adhere to this type of material the image is made out of. I am clearing it with devcon 2-ton.I was thinking of some type of adhesion promotor when I lay the image on the bait. Bait is cast with Featherlite. The past times they failed I laid the image cleared in a turner then painted the backs and bottom the re cleared. First trip hook rash caused the clear to come off in chunks. on both sides. it just wont adhere to the vinyl wrap. Anybody have any insight to a clearcoat that can be used with a vinyl wrapped image. Thank everybody for there insight. Im bummed because I'm going to have to paint them now. I dont know how to paint Thank you.
2 Piece Mold With Molded In Screw And Hinge Pin
bassfiend72 posted a topic in Hard BaitsThank you all for the information that has been provided over the years. This is my first post. Unfortunately it couldn't be something to contribute. I have been making my own lures for about 2 years off and on. When I have money for supplies Ha Ha. I am currently working on a 8 inch 2 piece gizzard shad. I am trying to find a way when I mold it to incorporate all the hardware when being poured. I have most recently wanted to have the hinge pin and screw eyes with the slots already in the cast when poured if possible. The screw eyes are in the first segment of the bait. The slots and hinge pin in the second section.when making a mold of the master how can I make the slots for the screw eyes and have the hinge pin in place. Most likely making it complicated. Just cant visualize it in the mold. The reasoning is I always have a pile of rejects just from drilling the pin and screw eye slots.I always have the most errors in this section Thank you for any suggestions. Wes

Whether you are redecorating your living room or designing your first space, arranging your furniture is an important consideration. Besides being practical, it also creates an atmosphere to make it feel like home.
Start with a blank space. As much as possible, empty your living room. If you cannot move heavy furniture out, try to put it in one area. Remove all of the small pieces, such as lamps, rugs, and décor items into another room. You may need to measure your pieces so you will know what will fit in each area.Ad
Choose a focal point. It can be a fireplace, a window, or even an entertainment center. You will design the rest of the furniture around this piece. A consideration when choosing your focal point is how you are going to use the room. Will it be for visiting with people or will you be involved in individual activities such as watching television?
Place your seating around the focal point. Keep the chairs and couch close together and slightly angled for better conversation. You may want to create multiple seating areas for different activities.
Place either a coffee table or end tables within reach of each part of the seating area. You will also want to make sure there is adequate lighting for everyone. Place lamps near everyone for reading and low lighting.
Consider traffic flow. Make sure there is ample walking space around the room and into other rooms. This will require at least two to three feet (.6 to .9m) of open space between furniture. Do not place furniture in line of doorways to block the path. Make sure there is space for people to move into another room without disrupting people who are seated.
- Move furniture out from the wall to create unique areas. You can place a sofa table behind the furniture.
- Work with your room's size and shape. If it is small, use furniture that fits the scale.
- Use a virtual room organizer to prevent moving furniture from one place to another. You can buy software or use online programs.
- Look at pictures in magazines or on television decorating shows to get new ideas. You don't have to follow a standard pattern.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich
Live upstairs at The Bodega • 18+ event
- Thursday 3rd March 2011
- Supported by: t.b.c.
- Doors open: at 7:00pm
Benjamin Francis Leftwich is a singer/songwriter whose melancholic brand of acoustic folk-pop has drawn comparisons with the likes of Jose Gonzalez and Iron & Wine.
Born in York in 1989 to South African and Australian parents, Leftwich lived a nomadic childhood, spending just as much time in Sydney as in his native U.K..
Inspired by Elliott Smith and Bruce Springsteen, he taught himself to play the guitar at age ten, and fronted indie pop outfit the Nicoles in his teens before embarking on a solo career. After recording his first EP, A Million Miles Out, in Southern France, he supported I Am Kloot, Fionn Regan, and Lisa Mitchell on tour, and attracted attention for his cover version of Arcade Fire's "Rebellion" on Dermot O'Leary's BBC R2 Saturday Sessions show.
In 2011, his first single, "Pictures," taken from his second EP of the same name, was declared "The Hottest Record in the World Today" by influential R1 DJ Zane Lowe, with his debut album, Bleeps, produced by Ian Crimble (Mumford & Sons) scheduled to follow. In a departure from his usual sound, Leftwich also penned Euro trance-pop outfit Cascada's "Hold Your Hands Up," with former Fame Academy runner-up Alistair Griffin.

Raspberry heaven
The sun is out and finally feels warm, but never one to take a chance the cat is assisting in the incubation of seedlings. Green buds have started to appear on the raspberry canes, which had looked like dead twigs until last week. Good to know the endless winter and my novice orchard techniques haven't killed them! I've spent the morning straining and bottling raspberry vodka. To get WI grade clarity, double muslin is needed. The inky fragrant liqueur slowly silently filling the jug and perfuming the kitchen with the scent of summer afternoons on the allotment.
In honour of the raspberry and of Carol Channing in Thoroughly Modern Millie -
The Carol Channing cocktail
Ruise some raspberries, (or in my case use some of the raspberries that have been soaking in vodka since last summer), in the bottom of a glass, add a little simple sugar syrup and some raspberry vodka, top with champagne, float a few fresh raspberries. Boom, there you are!

What will I look for at the National
One of the things I am most looking forward to is meeting some of the people I talk to on a daily basis either through e-mail or twitter. It would be nice to have a face to go with all the names, and it's nice to meet people who share a common interest. While I usually hate people, I really do like (most) of you. I can hear you all laughing from here... I'm (half) kidding... ;) Another thing I am curious about it how many women will be there. Usually when I go to a card show, or me and Sooz go together the only other women we really see are mothers of small boys taking them around. (If one dude asks me if I want a WNBA card, or tells me something is shiny I may go bananas. Olds, if you are reading this I am already anticipating you doing this just to push my buttons.)
Honestly, what I will end up keeping an eye out for at the National are things that I can't really find locally or on eBay, as well as National exclusive types of things. I am interested in getting a hold of a LeBron Heat card to flip for something I care about, and definitely looking to get a Strasburg card. I will probably wait to flip the Strasburg card until he is off the DL and pitching again.
I will also pick up supplies because you get the best prices at shows on 9 pocket sheets, PC1/PC3 cases (which I love), and penny sleeves.
I would love to find some Pujols base cards to fill in the holes in my collection, and maybe some inserts on the cheap. I haven't really been buying much of his stuff lately because I have been trying to hoard as many Cano auto's as possible before they get more out of control. I would be really happy to find a boatload of Pujols cards and cross some more off the list of 90 million cards he has.
I won't be bothering with getting any of the paid auto's, that is for sure.
OK, I'm done now. Your turn to talk to me and entertain me while I wait for A-Rod to come up to bat.
So who is going and what are you looking for?

Sounds like a plan. I'm looking forward to meeting you and Sooze and Chris Harris particularly. I share your loathing of people. Actually I have a saying, "I like the CONCEPT of people, but PEOPLE always seem to ruin that concept."ReplyDelete
See you next week!!
I'll be there as well, and look forward to meeting anyone and everyone. Hopefully the prices on Orioles cards won't be absurd, since the show is in Baltimore and all. As for the VIP Strasburger, I plan on giving him a Sharpie mustache, and putting the card on eBay as a 1/1. I should make enough money from that lone sale to retire.ReplyDelete
Hopefully I will see you there!
Sounds like meeting fellow cast members of "REAL WORLD: THE INTERNET" is job one!ReplyDelete
Also hope to pick up more oddballs for my type collection, especially the missing 70s Hostess and Twinkees cards...
If I was going (which sadly I'm not, but I am at lease going to Arlington to see a game that weekend) I would look for a 1954 Bowman Ted Williams. Not to buy just to say I saw one. For buying purposes I would look for affordable 1958 Hires Root Beer, 1959 Venezuelan, 1963 IDL Drug Store and any Kahn's Bill Virdons. Oh, and a 1960 Topps #544 Bill Monbouquette to finish my set.ReplyDelete
I'm not going, as I live on the opposite side of the country, but if I were...ReplyDelete
... I'd buy all the cheap relics I could find. Something tells me The National is the home of the best $1 relic bin known to man.
I'm looking forward to meeting up with everyone, working on my never-ending want list, catching an O's game and eating some fresh seafood.ReplyDelete
Note to self, add "find box of WNBA cards for ACP gals" to my bring-to-Baltimore list.
Actually this is the first one I am missing in 5 years because of it's location.ReplyDelete
As to women at the National, I hate to generalize but I think the only women I have ever seen there were "wives" if you know what I mean.
It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.............................................................ReplyDelete

A new chapter is about to be written...
On September 2010 I was moving from my house in the center of Athens with a plan to travel around the world.
On December 2010 I came back and lived in a house in the western suburbs of Athens.
On April 2012 I am moving once again. Boxes, bubble wrap, scissors, tape. My history repeats itself.
I can't sleep very long, I am too anxious. One more time I'm saying goodbye to Athens.
One more step, one more beginning.
Antonis wanted to write a book on his tragic family story. But he never did. And this was his book, I'm not going to go into the details of it.
My book continues through this public diary. The laughs and the tears, the exhitement and the fear. It's all here. Made on the go.
On the fifth of April, a new chapter begins. In another city. Close to my family.
To be continued of course...

Effingham County commissioners agreed to move forward with $531,000 in upgrades to two radio towers so that emergency personnel will be able to communicate better with each other.
At their June 18 meeting, commissioners agreed to the improvements as long as they can determine suitable financing options at their next meeting, on July 8.
Law enforcement officers have said the improvements are crucial to fix dead zones in the emergency radio system.
In other action, commissioners approved on second and final reading a 5-percent hotel-motel tax. They also agreed that the chamber would receive 80 percent of the money and the county would receive 20 percent for administrative purposes.
Chamber Executive Director Rick Lott has said the tax would bring in an estimated $13,400 a year from the only hotel in the unincorporated county, the Rincon Inn & Suites.
Some of the money could go for an ad in the Savannah Visitors' Guide so that Effingham County can piggyback on the millions of dollars that Savannah spends each year to attract tourists, Lott said.
Also on June 18, commissioners passed a resolution to operate on the current budget after June 30, the end of the fiscal year, until a new budget can be approved.
The new budget is two months behind schedule.
Commissioners also agreed to move the July 2 commission meeting to July 8 and the July 16 meeting to July 23. The meetings begin at 5 p.m. in the administrative complex at 601 N. Laurel St. in Springfield.
The commission also agreed on June 18 to appoint Stephanie Johnson as interim county clerk, replacing Karen Arnold, who had been interim county clerk.

While the exact causes of roughly a third of all fertility problems are still a medical mystery, there is much modern medicine understands and is able to do about known reproductive dysfunctions.
The most common factors of infertility can be nullified by simple changes, and it all starts with a diagnosis.
When pregnancy doesn't happen easily, or takes a long time in coming couples begin to wonder about fertility issues and what can be done about them. Presented below are some of the most common problems which create infertility and how to reverse the problems.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, or PID, is among the top causes of preventable female infertility. PID can be caused by a number of things: untreated STDs, infection and surgical procedures within the uterus, cervix or fallopian tubes.
PID causes an extreme swelling or inflammation of the fallopian tubes. This inhibits fertility by blocking access to the egg. If the egg can't exit and sperm can't enter there is no way for the "twain to meet" and kick the baby process in motion.
Treatment is fairly simple and ranges from simple antibiotics and shots to surgical procedures to drain infection.
Excess fat does more than increase heart disease and diabetic risk factors. For women especially, too much junk in the trunk has the potential to throw off the delicate hormone dance that dictates healthy reproductive cycles.
Many overweight women experience irregular periods as a side effect of obesity. The recommendation to lose weight through healthy changes in lifestyle aimed at waistline reduction may seem trite, but many a mom to be finds her way to motherhood as a result of regulating her menstrual cycles after dropping a few pounds.
Tubal Problems
Tubal blockages are not solely a female infertility problem. Men can also have tubal damage, inflammations or road blocks preventing the effective delivery of sperm.
Tubal problems need to be ruled out by simple tests administered by a doctor if baby dreams are to become reality.
Irregular Periods
Conception is the ultimate blind hipshot at a moving target. When menstrual cycles don't follow a regular cycle from month to month the whole process becomes nearly impossible.
Periods can be erratic for many reasons: poor nutrition, stress, hormone deficiencies and the list goes on. Getting regular is the first must do accomplishment for any want-to-be momma.
Lack of Ovulation
Pregnancy becomes impossible when an egg is not released from the ovary each month in viable condition. Many factors come into play to create healthy ovulation, and the presence of a regular menstrual cycle with a monthly period does not necessarily mean ovulation is happening on schedule or at all.
Ovulation problems can range from the release of immature ova (eggs) or the failure to release an ovum at all due to poor timing. If the egg is released too late or too early in the reproductive cycle, even if conception occurs, the conceptus will arrive at the womb either too soon or too late for successful implantation to sustain pregnancy.
Women can find help with regulating ovulation issues via prescription medication and ovulation kits. These tools often lead to successful pregnancy.
10 Fertility Fixes for Men and Women: part 2
Fertility problems come in all forms. The woman accounts for 1/3 of conception difficulties while the man shoulders his fair share with 1/3 of cases attributable to male infertility.
Immune System Malfunctions
There are plenty of crossed signals that can confuse the reproductive cycle. One of the most serious is when the immune system gets it wrong. There are times when either the male or female immune system assigns the title of "public enemy number one" to sperm.
This means that upon entry to the uterus or exit from the scrotum, the immune system declares war and attacks the sperm at will to cause damage, immobilization or the outright death of sperm by the thousands.
Treatments for this problem are controversial with results being mixed. The current preferred treatment for infertility caused by immunological disorders is to employ external fertilization options, usually injecting the sperm directly into the harvested eggs then implanting the fertilized eggs back inside the womb.
Advanced Maternal Age
It is not the most popular or convenient truth, but female fertility decreases significantly with age. Fertility problems are increasing in regularity as the average age of first time mothers climbs higher and higher.
When motherhood is a non-negotiable life's desire, waiting isn't in the woman's favor.

Eating for Life
Studies suggest it takes 21-30 days to form a new habit. We encourage an active lifestyle and a healthy diet to maintain a healthy weight, prevent chronic diseases, and optimize your quality of life. Weight loss usually requires caloric restriction in addition to exercise. Regular exercise helps maintain weight and blood pressure, as well as decreases the risk of developing diabetes, heart attack, stroke and several forms of cancer. It can strengthen your immune system, promote better sleep and also helps lessen the risks of osteoporosis and falls. Regular exercise decreases symptoms of anxiety and depression, can put the spark back into your sex life and can be fun! Healthy eating and regular exercise are the safest ways to lose and maintain weight, considering that most weight loss medications can increase blood pressure, heart rate and risks related to underlying disease processes.
Recommendations for regular exercise vary among health organizations, but they all agree that healthy adults, ages 18-65, should get at least 30 minutes of moderately intense physical activity at least five days a week. Those over age 65 should build up to 30 minutes of endurance exercise most every day. Sessions can be divided into 10-minute intervals for a total of 30 minutes each day. Choosing activities that you enjoy and having an exercise partner or a class to attend are ways to increase your motivation. It is important to have routines that work for your life and that you can continue over time.
The number of calories to consume each day depends on one's age, physical activity and whether one is trying to maintain, lose or gain weight. Your calories should be full of vitamins and nutrients from fresh fruits and vegetables, unrefined, whole grain foods, low-fat diary products, lean meats and fish. The American Cancer Society recommends eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day and limiting processed and red meats. The American Heart Association recommendations are limiting alcohol intake to no more than one drink a day for women and no more than one to two drinks per day for men.
For more tips on developing a new habit of healthy eating and regular exercise, we recommend the following resources:

Guest post by Stephan Lorenz
Our small group walked carefully through the thorn scrub of the Aguan Valley, following narrow paths and occasional clearings, passing columnar cacti towering above the low trees. It was only mid-morning, but the heat was already rising. The birds though were still in full song and we soon found a pair of White-bellied Wrens, their tiny bodies nearly exploding every time they belched forth their disproportionate loud phrases. We wandered further and movement drew our attention to a pair of hyperactive White-lored Gnatcatchers, hastily snapping up insects. A Brown-crested Flycatcher that had been incessantly calling in the background landed in view.
I spotted something small jet from a dense shrub and disappear. We froze in place and waited. I was sure it was a hummingbird and within moments the bird returned, flew a short loop and then settled onto a thin branch in the shady center of a bush. I carefully maneuvered the scope into place and it focused on an emerald with malachite back, azure throat, and candy-colored base of the bill. We had found the Honduran Emerald, one of the rarest birds in the world. The excitement of seeing such a precious marvel is always mixed with some anxiety, since this particular hummingbird faces a perilous future.
The Honduran Emerald is Honduras' only endemic bird species and remains one of the most endangered hummingbirds in the world with population estimates in the low thousands. In fact, the species was essentially unknown in life for many decades until its rediscovery in 1988. The Honduran Emerald occurs in arid, intermontane valleys in the northeast of Honduras with a recently discovered population in the west. The highest numbers live in the dry forest and thorn scrub of the upper Rio Aguan Valley near the small town of Olanchito. Despite the recent acquisition and protection of land for the Honduran Emerald preserve, a big step in the right direction, the species still suffers from habitat loss and fragmentation.
The Rio Aguan Valley in northern Honduras lies in the rain shadow of the Sierra Nombre de Dios and while the Caribbean slope is cloaked in lush rainforest, the valley is dominated by dry, deciduous shrubs and cacti. The Aguan Valley can be visited during a long day trip from the famous Lodge and Spa at Pico Bonito or accommodations in La Ceiba. I always dread the early morning start, but by the time the van rolls into Olanchito at sunrise I am excited to see a dozen bird species restricted to this drier region.
A well-maintained road leads through the valley towards the Honduran Emerald preserve, crossing smaller rivers with extensive riparian vegetation and bisecting pastures with scattered trees and small wetlands. The birding starts well before reaching the preserve and some of the most productive stops lie a few miles past the town of Olanchito. The pastures harbor a variety of open-country species like Tropical Mockingbird, Fork-tailed Flycatcher, and even Eastern Meadowlark. The distinctive calls of Spot-bellied Bobwhites are frequently heard, but seeing one of these wary quails requires a good amount of luck. White-fronted Parrots commonly perch on larger trees scattered about the fields and the hefty Lineated Woodpecker frequents snags and even fence posts.
Small wetlands lie interspersed among the pastures and fields, often harboring ducks, herons, and other water birds. Each pond is worth checking carefully and during one visit I even located the uncommon White-throated Flycatcher in a flooded, weedy patch. The new highway bridge crosses a prominent tributary of the Rio Aguan and the riparian woodland and grassy flats usually host an excellent diversity of birds. A careful scan of low branches or barbed wire fences could reveal the stunning Turquoise-browed Motmot, swinging its racquet-shaped tail like a grandfather clock.
The largest trees have nesting Sulphur-bellied Flycatchers, Common Tody-Flycatchers, and Altamira Orioles, while noisy Brown Jays pass by in small flocks. The feisty, diurnal Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl is very common in this area. The river itself should not be overlooked and a patient vigil here often reveals Amazon and Green Kingfishers, while Mangrove Swallows and Gray-breasted Martins snatch insects above. As the morning begins to warm the open views across the valley allow birders to see a variety of raptors, including Roadside, Zone-tailed, and Gray Hawks, and rarely Gray-headed Kite.
The habitat turns increasingly arid as the highway heads west into the dry forest. The views of the mountains to the north become more dramatic and with binoculars it is possible to see the pine and oak forest covering the higher slopes, an inaccessible area essentially unexplored by bird watchers. At first, the parched scrub, sandy clearings, and dusty roadsides may not look particularly productive, but this unique forest also protects the rare spiny-tailed iguana alongside the Honduran Emerald. On entering the drier sections it is worth keeping a careful eye out for the Lesser Roadrunner, which like its cousin the Greater Roadrunner, sports a long tail and small crest, but in general is shier in nature, dashing from one shady spot to the next. With patient searching it is possible to find the Double-striped Thick-knee, although these crepuscular birds tend to stay out of sight.
The Honduran Emerald preserve, supported by the American Bird Conservancy, and nearby private haciendas harbor some of the best remaining habitat. The search for the rare hummingbird starts in earnest in the reserve and the trail system here allows easy access to the thorn forest. It usually does not take too long to find this stunning hummingbird, which prefers the edges of clearings and often feeds on flowering succulents or cacti.
Care must be taken to identify the emerald correctly, but the green upper parts, grayish belly, blue throat, and dark tail are fairly distinct. Cinnamon Hummingbirds are not uncommon here and Green-breasted Mangos are often seen en route. Another hummingbird species that frequents the dry forest is the fork-tailed Canivet's Emerald and this population is sometimes considered a distinct species. Birders can also hope for some species that are absent from the wetter slopes on the north side of the mountains, including Elegant Trogon and the secretive Lesser Ground-Cuckoo. With a bag full of new birds and after fantastic views of the emerald the long drive back to the lodge often zips by like a hummingbird.
The Aguan Valley is fairly remote and has limited options for visitors. It is best to visit during a long day trip, starting at four in the morning, from The Lodge and Spa at Pico Bonito or the town of La Ceiba.
The High Lonesome Bird Tours trip to the world-famous Lodge at Pico Bonito includes a full day in the productive Aguan Valley and offers great photographic opportunities of the endangered Honduran Emerald.

It's Wednesday, which around here on this blog is suppose to be wordless Wednesday, but not today. Today is the first day I have had a minute to myself. So I thought it was as good a time as any to catch up. For many reasons I took a blog holiday. It wasn't planned, but these days life is crazy. Work, family, friends, new house, new puppy.......things add up. After Tate's party it was time to work on the house. Painting has been on the schedule most nights since. I'm attempted one room at a time, but its taking a LONG time. Each room has to be primed so that isn't helping. Then a storm came through and I woke up to find a tree in my backyard. Oh top of all that Raleigh is still trying to get the hang of potty training. She is doing MUCH better, but its still a learning process. Apparently the 4th of July is now a week long event.......or at least in my neighborhood. Fireworks were still being shot last night around midnight. Add in a co-worker that doesn't want to work and its been a crazy couple of days. Instead of dwelling on the craziness and getting lost in all the things I currently cannot change I am choosing to look toward the future. Like next week...... that is already filling up!
Happy Wednesday!

text: The decree will remain in effect at least until a new constitution is drafted, according to the justice ministry [EPA]Egypt's justice ministry has issued a decree allowing military police and intelligence officers to arrest civilians suspected of crimes, restoring some of the powers of the decades-old emergency law which expired just two weeks ago. The controversial order was drafted earlier this month, but was not announced until Wednesday. The decree applies to a range of offences, including those deemed "harmful to the government," destruction of property, "obstructing traffic," and "resisting orders". Several of those provisions would allow the military to detain peaceful protesters. Rallies in Tahrir Square routinely disrupt traffic, for example. It will remain in effect at least until a new constitution is drafted, according to the ministry. Members of parliament voted on Tuesday to appoint a constitutional assembly, but the process of drafting the document could take months. Adel al-Mursi, the head of Egypt's military justice, was quoted by AFP news agency as saying that "the decision fills a legal vacuum", while Sayyed Hashim, a former military prosecutor, called it a temporary measure. "The police force has not yet recovered completely, and security is not back," Hashim was quoted by Associated Press news agency as saying in a television interview. Parliament bypassed Al Jazeera's Rawya Rageh, reporting from Cairo, said Egyptian activists see the current order as "much worse than the [previous] emergency law", in that it is seen as expanding the military's power. "And it comes at a time when the ruling military council is expected to be handing over authority to a civilian authority in less than two weeks' time," she said, adding that the order bypassed the newly elected parliament. "The initial reactions from the MPs has been very angry, specifically from the powerful Muslim Brotherhood. Some of its members are saying that this is tantamount to a military coup." The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), which has the largest number of seats in parliament, issued a statement on the controversial decree, suggesting that parliament will try to bring the issue under its supervision. The brief statement quoted the party's deputy president, Essam El Erian, as saying parliament will be looking into the justice ministry's right to issue the decision and whether parliament can refuse it or not. Parliament will seek to have oversight over the implementation of the decision "so that this mandate doesn't exceed its legal and constitutional limits," El Erian said in the statement. "The Egyptian Revolution happened to get rid of injustice, corruption, autocracy and repression of freedoms - and the Egyptian people won't accept the return of any of that." 'Military coup' Mohamed Beltagy, another FJP member of parliament, called the decree a "military coup" in an interview with Al Jazeera, and said the measure was not discussed in parliament. Mohammed Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood's presidential candidate, said on Al Jazeera that the decision raises fears about the military's role. Human rights organisations were also quick to criticise the decision, which they said confirmed that Egypt was a "military state". Gamal Eid, a prominent human rights lawyer, said the decree made Egypt look like "a banana republic". "Several of the crimes included in the decree are actually rights, such as the right to freedom of expression against ruling powers or established laws, demonstrations and strikes," according to a statement issued by 15 Egyptian rights groups. The military has played an extensive and controversial role in the justice system over the last 18 months. More than 12,000 civilians have been hauled before military tribunals since the revolution; rights groups say the military courts do not provide basic standards of due process. The 31-year-old state of emergency, imposed in 1981 after Anwar Sadat was assassinated, was finally allowed to expire at the end of May. It granted wide-ranging powers to former president Hosni Mubarak's security forces, including the right to detain suspects without trial. Court rulings Amr Hamzawy, a liberal member of parliament from Cairo, said in a statement on his Facebook page that the ruling simply "reproduced" the emergency law. "[It] reproduces the emergency law using new tools and threatens the state of law, for it gives military intelligence and military police powers of judicial execution in crimes committed by civilians," he wrote. The decree comes just days before the country's presidential runoff, which pits Morsi against Ahmed Shafiq, the last prime minister in Mubarak's government. It also comes a day before two crucial court rulings. The supreme constitutional court will decide on Thursday whether to expel Shafiq from the race because of the so-called "political isolation" law, which bars ex-regime officials from running for public office. The court will also rule on whether parliament is unconstitutional; a lower court found that some provisions of the electoral law - allowing political parties to compete with independent candidates for some seats - might have violated the constitution.

From: Puget Sound Anarchists
n May 3rd, our friend Pax was arrested on 36 felony charges of criminal mischief and 36 felony charges of conspiracy to commit criminal mischief. This was dropped down to 5 counts of each after their arraignment, and Pax took a plea deal in October for 3 counts of felony criminal mischief. A number of people have asked how Pax got caught up in legal trouble for allegedly smashing banks and a police substation. It has come to light in the last few months that the FBI has been actively monitoring Portland anarchists since at least early April, though to what extent it is not clear. We now know there was federal involvement in the raid during which Pax was arrested in May. Because the federal investigation is ongoing, there may be crucial pieces of information relating to Pax's arrest that we don't know about yet. With that in mind, here are some tips for staying safe when you're angry in the streets, compiled by some friends who looked through the Discovery.

How To Improve Your Score In Splashy Fish
One that's really popular right now is Splashy Fish - The Adventure of a Flappy Tiny Bird Fish. We've got a few tips that will help you get through this game with ease.
Unlike other clones, which feature collision detection that's so bad that you die from hitting air, Splashy Fish is actually quite fair. You'll have plenty of room to get through columns if you tap the screen at the right amount of times, floating right through. Keep in mind you'll still lose if you manage to even brush the side of the column, so allow yourself plenty of space. Do this, and you should be able to last for a while.
Keep Up with the Pace
Splashy Fish is one of the few Flappy Bird clones that gets the pacing right, going just slow enough that you can prepare for columns that come your way. That said, don't take it for granted. Keep an eye on whatever columns are coming in and get ready to either tap towards the top of the screen or float down a bit in order to get through them. It's important to look ahead, just to get an idea of what's coming.
Careful - These Columns are High and Low
Splashy Fish isn't just a casual swim in the ocean - these columns can change rather quickly between high and low. There are times you'll get good, straight runs where they're all about the same height, but sometimes you'll be thrown for a loop. Don't panic. Adjust your taps so you sail down or float higher to get through the columns.
Don't Try to Show Off
With Splashy Fish, it's not about being a show-off and trying to miss columns by a mere centimeter - after all, no one can see your replay performance unless you post it on YouTube or something. Concentrate on getting through the columns, as it's your score that matters when it comes to GameCenter leaderboards.
Don't Forget to Take a Break
Finally, keep in mind that Splashy Fish follows the same basic principles as Flappy Bird, so you'll want to make sure you're not obsessing too much with getting a high score as you float through the columns. Don't forget to take a break every once in a while so you can get your concentration back. It'll certainly help your sanity, and who knows - that recharge may be all you need to get a high score.

Ultramarine is the standard warm blue, a brilliant blue pigment that has the most purple and least green in its undertone. It has a moderate to high tinting strength and a beautiful transparency. Synthetic Ultramarine is not as vivid a blue as natural Ultramarine. Ultramarine dries slowly in oil and tends to produce clean, though granular, washes in watercolor. French Ultramarine mixes well with Alizarin colors in oil and watercolor form to create a range of purples and violets. It can dull when mixed with white in acrylic form, but mixes well with other colors. The shade varies based on manufacturer. Considered a great color for glazes, it is not suitable for frescoing.
Ultramarine has excellent permanence, although synthetic Ultramarine is not as permanent as natural Ultramarine. It may discolor if exposed to acid because of its sulfuric content.
Ultramarine has no significant hazards.
The name for this pigment comes from the Middle Latin ultra, meaning beyond, and mare, meaning sea, because it was imported from Asia to Europe by sea. It is a prominent component of lapis lazuli and was used on Asian temples starting in the 6th century. It was one of the most expensive pigments in 16th century Europe, worth twice its weight in gold, and so was used sparingly and when commissions were larger. Ultramarine is currently imitated by a process invented in France in 1826 by Jean Baptiste Guimet, making blue affordable to artists and extending the range of colors on their palettes.
Artificial Ultramarine, French Blue, French Ultramarine, Gmelin's Blue, Guimet's Blue, Permanent Blue, Royal Blue, Synthetic Ultramarine. New Blue describes particular shades of Ultramarine. Armenian Blue and Lazuline Blue are names for genuine Lapiz Ultramarine. Sky Blue is a pale tone of Ultramarine.
zinc sulfide
Zinc Sulphide White is a semi-transparent yellowish white pigment. Zinc sulfide and zinc oxide (PW4) are often combined to create a more natural white color. Transparency increases as particle size decreases. When slight impurities are added, zinc sulphide has phospherescent and electroluminescent properties. It is often used to manufacture fluorescent or glow-in-the-dark paints.
Zinc Sulphide White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Zinc Sulphide is non-toxic, but ore deposits often contain lead. Traces of lead and other impurities may be present in pigment powders. Ingestion is not recommended.
Zinc sulfide, when combined with slight impurites, has phospherescent properties. It is often used for "invisible ink" that glows with exposure to ultraviolet light. Zinc sulfide is used in the manufacture of fluorescent paints.

Penalties – company accounts and Corporation Tax
Accountants often talk about penalties and interest being incurred if documents are filed late, but we find that people rarely know the actual facts and figures that can be involved. This is quite a large subject, so in this blog we're concentrating purely on a general overview in regard to company accounts and CT returns.
You should also note that sometimes filing deadlines vary if a set of accounts is shorter or longer than a year, so check your specific deadlines with your contractor accountant. This is a general outline only…..
Companies House
If your company accounts are filed late, Companies House will issue a penalty notice as soon as they are finally filed. The penalties they will impose are as follows:
- Under one month late – £150
- More than one month but less than three months – £375
- More than three months but less than six months – £750
- More than six months – £1,500
These penalties will double if the accounts are late for a second year, so they can quickly become quite considerable.
HMRC – Corporation Tax return
A CT return covers a period up to a year, and is due 12 months after the period end – note that this is different to the accounts deadline for Companies House above, which is nine months after the year end. Your accountant will usually just quote the earlier date as the deadline so that the accounts and CT return can be filed at the same time.
There is an automatic penalty of £100 for late filing, regardless of whether tax is due, and then an additional daily penalty of £10 may be charged if it is more than 3 months late. On top of these standard amounts, a tax geared penalty may be charged if the return is more than 6 months late, based upon the higher of £300 or 5% of the tax due.
Things step up a gear if the return is 12 months late, and penalties are then based upon your behaviour. The penalty will be the higher of £300 and:
- 5% of the tax due if the withholding of information was not deliberate
- 70% of the tax due if the withholding was deliberate but not concealed
- 100% of the tax due if the withholding were deliberate and concealed (you tried to hide it)
The penalties that apply for late filing of a CT return also apply across other taxes, so these are the same for your personal tax return.
HMRC – CT liability
CT is due 9 months and 1 day after the end of the accounting period. If you fail to pay the tax due on time then interest will be charged from the due date, along with a penalty of 5% of the unpaid tax. An additional 5% penalty will be charged if the tax is unpaid 3 and 9 months after the filing date.
If you fail to file a CT return HMRC may make a determination, which is simply an estimate of what they think you owe. This can be superseded by the real return, but until then HMRC will continue to chase the debt as if it was the genuine one.
Final thoughts…..
A company must keep all the records that support a return – receipts, invoices, statements etc – for 6 years following the end of the period in question. You can keep these as PDF copies though, so there's no need to keep boxes and boxes of paperwork. The only things you need to keep originals of are dividend vouchers and anything else containing a tax credit.
In addition to penalties being incurred for non-filing of documents or for late payment of tax, having a bad record will also highlight you to HMRC as potentially high risk – if you cannot file on time, what's the likelihood that you're following the letter of the law in other areas? So, if you're continually filing late don't be surprised if you also end up with an HMRC Inspector coming to visit!

Tonight a tornado hit the town where I grew up. My family is ok, no worries. Property damage, but no injuries reported from them so far. But as I was calling around, checking to make sure everyone was alright and learning about the damage they'd suffered, I thought about how important friends and family are. I don't live near most of my family, and that is by design. I enjoy a different lifestyle than would be possible in a small town in rural Wisconsin. But on nights like this, when their power is out, and they are only available by cell phone, I kinda wish I was closer.
Friends, however, are a different matter entirely. I have a lot of friends, and I value every one of them. It doesn't matter where I visit; I probably have a friend nearby. That's the beauty of the internet. I have good friends that I have never met in real life and good friends that I knew online well before I knew they lived near me. I even have friends from places I've never visited, but that I see almost every year in Kentucky.
One of the latter is Josh from Sipology Blog. I see him nearly every year at BourbonFest. Recently he reviewed a private selection of Blanton's from a retailer near him, and when he offered me a sample of that very interesting sounding bourbon, I jumped at the chance. Blanton's is a bourbon that, I'm surprised to say I've never reviewed on the site before. And come to think of it, that's probably because I've never purchased it. I've had it at bars and always enjoyed it, but every time I'm in the liquor store with $60 in my pocket I always seem to turn to something besides this Single Barrel Buffalo Trace product. I think the next time I see it, that will have to change.
Blanton's Single Barrel - Holiday Market Selection
Purchase info: This sample was graciously shared by Josh at SipologyBlog.com. He lists the Michigan state minimum as $60.
Details: 46.5% ABV. Warehouse H, Rick 15, Barrel 66.
Nose: Very fruity on the nose with mixed berries, oak and honey.
Mouth: Earthy honey, ripe fruit, oak and some spice.
Finish: Gentle, but not timid. Warm, but not overpowering. Lingering green apple, oak and spice.
Thoughts: This is a very tasty bourbon that was provided by a friend in Michigan. I'm enjoying the heck out of it. I'm loving the fruitiness and spice. I gotta agree with Josh, this one is recommended.

About the Artist
Burnet Psalter, (c.1400-1450). The Burnet Psalter was composed in the first half of the fifteenth century and contains a calendar, devotions (prayers and hymns) for personal use, the Psalter itself (the Book of 150 Psalms), and liturgies (forms of worship) for personal use.
The Burnet Psalter was bequeathed to Marischal College, Aberdeen by one of its most famous graduates, Gilbert Burnet (1643-1715), Bishop of Salisbury, historian, theological writer, and adviser to William III.
Psalters in general were intended for private use by monks, nuns and lay people. They were also used as an aid in teaching children to read. A single volume psalter generally contained a cycle of calendar pages, used for calculating feast days and commemorating the lives of the saints, the psalms themselves, and a collection of canticles and creeds. The decoration usually consisted of miniatures preceding the text and decorated initials at the main divisions in the text.

Rematch won't be a replay
AUSSIE RULES: Two teams that fought out a draw during the AFL Mackay pre-season carnival in Airlie Beach last month will go head to head again this weekend on familiar turf.
The last time North Mackay Saints and Whitsunday Sea Eagles clashed the game was decided only after 10 minutes of extra time. The Sea Eagles ultimately took home the silverware.
Saints coach Craig Jenkins said although this weekend was a replay of the pre-season final there were a lot of unknowns about the team and the Mackay side has been depleted.
"We have only played one game so far this season, against Bakers Creek, that we won by five goals, but we're expecting something completely different with Whitsunday," Jenkins said.
The Sea Eagles, one of the stronger teams in the competition, have been bolstered by many of last year's premiership players from Moranbah, which couldn't field a senior side.
Jenkins said he'd lost some players because of work commitments.
One of the biggest losses is full forward Brandon Riddle who slotted eight goals against the Tigers.
Jenkins will have to find another prolific goalscorer who can capitalise on the delivery from the midfield.
It's a midfield that Bakers Creek Tigers coach Dale Eames said was one of the "best in the competition" earlier this month.
Weekend round
North Mackay Saints verses Whitsunday Sea Eagles, Zeolla Park, Saturday 2.45pm
Mackay City Hawks verses Bakers Creek Tigers, Harrup Park, Saturday 3pm
Eastern Swans verses Mackay Magpies, Rogers Oval, Saturday 2:45pm
