House Science Committee Chairman Sherwood Boehlert (R-NY) was the keynote speaker today at a workshop for the future National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Boehlert's remarks at this workshop, as they are at hearings, were to the point, and concerned a constant problem in Washington: money. This year that problem is greater than it has been in a long time, so Boehlert's words are particularly important. Selections follow:
"But one doesn't need a degree in physics to understand the value of a scientific tool that furthers human understanding of matter while answering practical questions in materials science and biology; a tool that is of use to both academic and industrial researchers; a tool that attracts the best researchers from throughout the world. The U.S. simply must invest to upgrade its capabilities in this area, building on the expertise that Brookhaven and the researchers who use its facilities have developed over the last few decades.
"What I've just said is a simple, straightforward, totally defensible statement of need, but it won't bring a new light source into being. For that, you need money.
"And money is what I want to focus on in my remaining time with you today. You can tell me about the fundamental aspects of matter, but money is the fundamental building block of the tools you need to study matter.
"Just to bring that point home with a little more specificity, let me say a word about the Department of Energy's (DOE) 20-year facilities plan. As you know, that plan lists a new synchrotron light source as one of the Department's highest priorities in the period that begins about 15 years from now. I know that you would like to move that timing up.
"Let me say first that Ray Orbach, the head of DOE's Office of Science, deserves tremendous credit for undertaking the planning exercise that led to the facilities plan and for bringing it to fruition.
"This is exactly the sort of deliberative, long-term planning that we need more of. In fact, we're encouraging the National Science Foundation (NSF) to put together a similar kind of process for its large facilities account. I should add that NSF's task will be even tougher than Ray's was because NSF funds an even wider array of fields.
"But here's something you might not realize about the 20-year facilities plan - because the plan never makes it explicit.
"The DOE plan, like any plan, had to be built on budget assumptions that set the parameters of the possible. And what were the tacit budget assumptions behind the DOE facilities plan? They were the numbers in the comprehensive Energy Bill, H.R. 6, which the House passed last year. That bill is now stalled in the Senate, perhaps forever. Those numbers, which were developed by the Science Committee, call for the budget of the Office of Science to almost double over the next five years.
"Now even if the Energy Bill managed to get out of the Senate and were signed into law, that would hardly guarantee such increases for the Office of Science. As I'm sure most of you know, authorization bills, like the Energy Bill, just provide guidance and policy direction; annual appropriations determine actual spending.
"And what's the actual spending look like? Well, for fiscal 2005, which will begin in October, the authorized level in the Energy Bill for the Office of Science is $4.2 billion; the Administration's request for fiscal 2005 is significantly less, $3.4 billion.
"It's far too early in the Congressional budget season to guess what final funding for the Office of Science will be, but it's safe to say that it's not going to reach $4.2 billion - not in a year when the President has proposed increasing all non-security discretionary spending by just half a percent, and Congress is moving to cut that number down to zero.
"So the message I want to leave you with today is that all of us - all of us - need to do a lot of missionary work if anything in the DOE planning document is to become a reality. I don't think I'm exaggerating by saying that. The Office of Science has said, quite properly, that if funding is less than expected, its first priority will be to keep its current equipment running as many weeks of the year as possible.
"Now let me give you some hints on how to go about doing the missionary work that is required. First, don't start by assuming that folks in Washington are out to get scientists. Nothing could be further from the truth. Indeed, in the proposed fiscal 2005 budget, science agencies are slated to receive some of the largest increases - less than I'd prefer, but more than other agencies.
"Just about everyone on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue would like to do as much as possible for science - especially for the physical sciences, which have been going through a period of relative neglect as funding for biomedical research has skyrocketed in recent years. So don't start by assuming that Washington's goal is to harm or ignore science.
"Here's another approach not to take. Don't tell Members of Congress that you're different because you're not looking to help yourselves in the short-run; you're looking for money that is a long-term investment for the entire nation.
"Sure, science funding is just that sort of investment. But so are education and road building and defense spending and human space flight; the list of possible investments goes on and on.
"And guess what? Congress is not besieged by groups asking for money that they describe as necessary to help their own narrow interests in the short run. The argument that science funding is a long-term national investment does nothing to set scientists apart. All that sets you apart is that scientists are the only group that thinks they're making a unique argument.
"So you need to argue on the facts. I feel safe in saying, without insulting any of my colleagues, that most of them know even less about synchrotron light sources than I do. They need to hear from you - and especially from those of you in industry and your CEOs - why a light source, or any other piece of equipment or area of research, is important. They - we - need to learn from you what the nation will actually be giving up if you aren't able to succeed.
"That won't be the end of the story. We in the Congress will still have our duty to choose among competing priorities. The budget is always a constraint, and it's more constraining now that it has been in a long time.
"Right now, for example, as Science chairman, I especially have to wrestle with the President's proposed space exploration initiative. It's a thoughtful proposal, and no doubt would be worthy of immediate funding in a universe in which money was no object. But we don't live in that universe, and we're not likely to find one like it in the future.
"So I have to weigh that proposal against other priorities, and get more information about its costs and its benefits and its timing before I can make a decision on how I think we should proceed.
"As part of my decision-making, one matter I have to weigh is the relative merit of additional funding for NASA versus additional funding for other federal science agencies, particularly NSF, which competes head-to-head for funding with NASA because they're in the same appropriations bill. Believe me, this isn't an easy task.
"But I couldn't even begin to undertake that kind of analysis if I didn't know what the expenditures of the various agencies might mean to our country. I'm lucky; I've got dozens of staff on the Science Committee who give me that information and help me sort through these questions.
"But science isn't - and can't be - that kind of focus for every Member; they have to focus primarily on their own Committee assignments and district interests. They won't know anything about any of this unless they hear from people like you - and hear from you regularly, back home, and in a thoughtful manner.
"Now this may not be the kind of speech - or should I say, 'lecture'? - that you most wanted to hear today. And I'm sure the rest of this conference will focus, as it should, on the many exciting technical questions that designing a new synchrotron poses and on the mind-boggling opportunities that having such a machine would present.
"But please remember as you have those discussions that a new synchrotron will remain an example of very theoretical physics unless work is done to make funding for it a political reality. I will do everything I possibly can to help you, but I can't do it alone.
"The future of science funding will depend on many things beyond your control - the macroeconomic situation, the nature of competing needs, etc. But it will also depend on how actively you can make people like me understand why what you're about is important to our nation. I look forward to working with you as you do that."

A Quick Outdoor Workout Routine/
These days, I do most of my workouts (aside from running) at home in my living room. But sometimes it's nice to get outside and use the outdoors as your gym, especially in the summer! There's all sorts of moves you can adapt to perform outside, but here are five of my favorites to incorporate into a quick outdoor workout.
Sprints - 30 seconds
I like to alternate between a strength move and a quick sprint. Find an open, preferably flat stretch of sidewalk or grass long enough for about a thirty second sprint. After warming up with a walk and some dynamic stretching, sprint for thirty seconds then switch to a strengthening move. After completing your strengthening move, do another sprint and so on.
Tree Sit - 40 seconds
This is just like a basic wall sit except you're using a tree trunk instead of a wall! Simple. Place your back flat against the tree trunk with your knees at ninety degrees (just like you're sitting in a chair) and hold for forty seconds or until your muscles are fatigued. Not only will this help you to cool down from your sprint, but it's great for strengthening your core and building endurance in your quads, calves, and glutes.
Side Skaters - 60 seconds
Skaters are one of my favorite exercises because they're honestly so much fun and perfect to do outside where you have lots of space. Start in a squat position, then simply jump to the left, bringing your right leg behind the left just like a speed skater. Then, jump back to the right side with your left leg behind. Try to jump as wide as you can and do this for about sixty seconds.
Park Bench Step Up - about 60 seconds
Step-ups are a great exercise for your glutes but they can be hard to do if you work out at home and don't have a sturdy surface to work with. Luckily, park benches are great for this. Stand facing the bench and bring one leg up onto the seat with your knee at ninety degrees. Step up onto the bench and lift your opposite leg in front of you at ninety degrees. Step down and alternate for two sets of ten on each side. Add dumbbells if you'd like!
Park Bench Elevated Lunge - about 60 seconds
Stand with your back to the bench and place one foot on the seat with the pressure on your big toe. Drop down so that the leg on the ground is in a ninety degree position. Do two sets of ten on each side, then sprint.
Repeat this sequence as many times as you'd like. Three times through should be about 15-20 minutes depending on how fast you're moving.
Tell me about your favorite outdoor workouts!

A toddler is getting international attention for her special bond with a disabled dog.
Marion Dwyer of Niagara Falls, New York adopted Echo, a white Great Dane, as a puppy long before her daughter was born. Echo was blind and deaf. Her previous owners neglected her and planned to put her down, according to WGRZ. Soon, he was thriving.

When Dwyer got pregnant with her daughter, Jennie, Echo started acting a bit different.
"As the baby bump grew, she was always snuggling up to it. And then, when we brought Jennie home, she wanted constantly to be near her," Dwyer said.
Now, the pair is completely inseparable. They went viral when the Daily Mail picked up one of Dwyer's videos on Facebook. Now, dozens of other news outlets are picking the story up.
Dwyer said she's excited to continue to watch Jennie and Echo grow up together.

I Tweet, Therefore I Am
It was the summer of 1995. My neighbour was moving to the U.S. To continue to be in touch and to get to know the news from the neighbourhood that he would soon leave, he gave me his new address. After writing the postal address in every detail, he explained the location in terms of geographical landmarks. Those were the days when email and Google were unknown, and partings were painstaking and mushy.
Cut to 2010. The neighbour visited India for a holiday. The day came when he was returning to the U.S. His seven-year-old son gave me his email address and his Facebook ID. These are the days when coordinates are mentioned in terms of the virtual world and one's location can be shown on Google Maps. With the integration of webcam features with chat, the other person is never far away. The maudlin romance of partings, then, has undergone a paradigm shift.
Not just partings, but everything else about human interaction has changed. Identities are defined by digital parameters, and being online is a personal statement of one's identity. If the photographs of your first day after birth are uploaded on Flickr, the video of your first rendition of rhyme is put up on YouTube. Blogs have replaced diaries and social networking sites have become virtual cafes. Postal addresses are redundant; email addresses do. If you are not online, you are as good as being non-existent. Communication is so dominated by the online medium that ignoring it is insensible.
While it facilitates faster, real-time communication among people across the globe, the online medium has become an easier and more appealing platform for human interaction. The U.S. president Barack Obama is doing a question-and-answer exercise with people on YouTube. So far as direct communication between a president and his people goes, this is the first of its kind. As it sets an example for other leaders and motivates them to try the strengths and features of the Web, it also sets new standards in effective governance.
Big B likes following the discussions on his blog, and Shashi Tharoor is a regular on Twitter. Grandparents pick up the nuances and tips of online communication to stay in touch with their grandchildren living in another country. Even as it has broken the barriers of privacy for celebrities, the celebrities themselves acknowledge the importance of being online and more reachable to the audiences.
From gossip to debates to campaigns, everything happens online. Psychologists evaluate one's personality on the basis of his presence on social networking sites. Aggregation of data from various search engines gives interesting insights about the sociological patterns of people belonging to different cultures. The virtual world, once a part of sci-fi literature, is now an inevitable and prominent reality and is the collective diary of human civilisation as it evolves further.
Move over the metaphysical statement, "I think, therefore I am". The new caption shall read: "I Tweet, therefore I am".

Dr. Allan M. Judd, Department of Physiology and Developmental Biology
Evaluation of how well the scholarly objectives of the proposals were met
Throughout the three years the funding of this proposal was utilized , I (Dr. Judd) have weekly laboratory meetings and journal clubs for undergraduate and graduate students in the laboratory. At the journal club, recently published articles related to their research projects are presented by the students and the hypothesis, techniques, data, and conclusions of each of the manuscripts discussed. I also interact with these students to help them plan their presentation and lead the discussion of the manuscript at the end of the presentation. The articles that are chosen for discussion are generally published in "Endocrinology" , the premiere journal in endocrine research. The students also have the opportunity to present their data and talk with me and other students about data analysis and interpretation during the laboratory meeting. The undergraduate students that have been in the laboratory for several semesters generally have their own project and come to my office about once a week to discuss their data and experiments. In the day to day interactions in the laboratory (talking while doing experiments etc.), I try to get to know the students better and talk with them about their academic goals and plans. I also often talk with the students about various recent discoveries of importance (generally in endocrinology, but may be in other areas of science).
Over the three years of funding of this proposal had over forty different undergraduate students work in the laboratory (13 in 2008, 20 in 2009, 21 in 21010) and one graduate students.
These students have learned the following:
a) Techniques Students have learned to perform the following techniques in the laboratories.
1) Cell culture of the adrenal cell line H295R. The students have also learned how to conduct experiments utilizing this cell line.
2) Students have learned how to collect bovine adrenal glands and to separate these adrenal glands into the various zones of the adrenal cortex. The students have also learned how to utilize the tissue fragments from the various adrenal zones for experiments involved in the effects of cytokines and bacterial/viral products on adrenal function.
3) RT-PCR for various mRNAs including the design of the DNA primers utilized for these assays.
4) Western blot for various proteins
5) Promoter assays utilizing the StAR promoter and luciferase.
b) Experimental design and performance: In the laboratory the students have interacted with the professors as the experiments were designed and performed. Therefore, they have learned to design experiments utilizing proper negative and positive controls, concentrations of drugs, and time courses. The students have also learned the logistic necessary to perform the various experiments.
c) Data analysis and interpretation: The students have learned the following:
1) Quantitative analysis of RT-PCR and Western blot data utilizing software.
2) ANOVA and multiple comparison tests for the analysis of data
3) The students have learned to graph data utilizing various software programs.
4) The students have learned to test a hypothesis with the data they receive from the experiments. They have also learned to integrate their results into an understanding of the physiological function of the organism and form new hypotheses from the data they collect.
d) Publication of results and presentation of results
1) The undergraduate and graduate students that have worked with Dr. Judd wrote one abstracts that was presented to the Endocrine Society in June of 2010. This abstract had a graduate student as presenting author and six undergraduate students as co-author. Dayton, A. W., R.M. Argyle, T.B. Walker, B.D. Burrows, J.C. Smart, K.A. Dalton, T.L. Ogzewalla, and A.M. Judd. AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Increases the Expression of StAR in Adrenocortical Tissue. 91st Annual Meeting of the Endocrine Society, June 2010, San Diego, California.
In addition two abstracts will be submitted for the 2013 Endcorine meeting in January of 2013 and some of the data for these abstracts were obtained from funds provided by this grant.
In the winter of 2013 it is expected that the results from this proposal will be combined with recent experiment and a manuscript submitted for publication. The tile of this manuscript will be The Role of AMPK in IL-6 stimulation of expression of StAR and p450scc. This manuscript will have one graduate student as an author, and one graduate student and six undergraduate students as co-authors.

"Tim Tebow's Fire" By John Parr
Yes, the same John Parr that wrote the hit "St. Elmo's Fire." Sadly enough, Tim Tebow wasn't even alive when this iconic song came out in 1985. Really? I was born in 1979 & that even makes me feel old....
Obviously you've seen pictures of famous and not so famous people "Tebowing." You've heard the amateur raps and songs, but this is the first remake of a classic song that I've heard.
According to The Huffington Post, some lyrics are,
"Where the original "St. Elmo's Fire" began with: "Growing up / You don't see the writing on the wall / Passing by / Moving straight ahead you knew it all," the new "Tim Tebow's Fire" Parr begins with: "Growing up / Gotta keep your eye on the ball / Make it fly / Give it everything, give your all" -- you get the idea.
"Tim Tebow's Fire" even gets a new chorus: "All I need's my Broncos team / Take me where my future's lying / Tim Tebow's Fire."
I love it.

Liner notes have been unfashionable in recent times, but I felt the release of this digitally remixed & remastered version of 'Tales', warranted some additional information. The Original sleeve, lavish as it was, was not as informative as it could've been.
Of all the 'Projects' that Eric & I have made since 1976, the 'Tales' always has been the one we look upon most fondly. It was the first of a new breed - the Producer's album. We never expected the APP to became the name of an act. The phrase was designed to describe the identity of the album you are now holding in its original form. We'd never in our wildest dreams have thought that at last 10 albums would follow, performed by this anonymous outfit that never plays gigs!
When it was suggested we revamped the album for CD, we had to think very carefully about whether to leave it alone or give it a whole new look. We could've taken the purist 'Don't mess with it!' attitude. The Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper' released on CD without a single note added or taken away. Flat notes or technical imperfections on that album were simply regarded as part of classic nostalgia. What's more surprising is that the 1967 stereo mix from the 4 track Beatle masters was very much an afterthought. All the main effort went into their Mono version.
Having been granted the same options for 'Tales' as George Martin with 'Sgt. Pepper', we made the decision to make whatever changes necessary to make the new version something we could be as proud in 1987 as we were of the original in 1976. We could introduce a few surprises to those already familiar with the original version & use new technology to our best advantage. We went to great lengths however not to destroy the original performances & sentiments. This meant that we could not 'modernise' in any obvious way.
A great deal has happened in the technical area of sound recording since 1976 when the album was first released. Microchip & digital recording have revolutionised the recording studio in recent years. This change has resulted in rock music writers taking an entirely different attitude to composition. Countless successful pieces of rock music have emanated with a great debt to machinery. However, it's interesting to note that 'Tales' was originally recorded without the use of such now commonplace items as digital reverberations & delays, drum machines, or computer assisted mixing. By choice, the only synthesizer heard on the original album was a 'wind' effect at the beginning of 'Arrival' using filtered white noise, although the first commercially available Moog Synthesizer had appeared 6 or 7 years earlier. Despite the absence of synthesizer on the 1976 version, this album was considered by many to be hi-tech & 'electronic sounding'. Anything without synths those days seems to get branded 'low-tech' or pure Rock'n'Roll. We've tried to use synths on the new version bearing in mind what would have been right for the album.
Project Trivia
Alan Parsons recorded 'Dark Side Of The Moon' by Pink Floyd for which he was paid a basic salary of 35 pounds per week. He produced 'Year of the Cat' by Al Stewart for a little bit more. He also worked with The Beatles, Paul McCartney, Hollies & Ambrosia. He has 10 Grammy nominations to this credit. He directed 'London Calling' for MTV. 'Cashbox' rated him the 13th best male vocalist in 1977. He almost never sings.
Eric Woolfson used to manage Carl Douglas of 'Kung Fu Fighting' game. He once played with Herman's Hermits. He worked for Andrew Loog Oldham. He's involved in UK politics. He sang on many of APP hits incl. 'Time' & 'Eye In The Sky'.
Andrew Powell produced the first 2 albums by Kate Bush. He's also worked with artists ranging from Stockhausen, Boulez & Ligeti to Donovan, Leo Sayer, Chris de Burgh & Kansas. He scored the soundtrack for the Richard Donner film 'Ladyhawke' starring Matthew Boderick. He frequently conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra. His initials also AP, like Parsons & Poe.
David Paton wrote & sang 'Magic' by Pilot in 1975. He now plays bass for Elton John - who played piano on many of the Hollies hits on which Alan worked.
Stuart Tosh played drums for Pilot & 10CC.
Ian Bairnson has played guitar on all the Projects. He's recorded with Jon Anderson, Kate Bush, George Martin & Mick Fleetwood. He wrote the 1983 hit 'Can't Stand The Heat' for Bucks Fizz. He's made TV appearances with Stanley Clarke & Steve Gadd. He competes in motor-cycle trials & is his club champion.
Leonard Whiting played Romeo in Franco Zeffirelli feature film 'Romeo & Juliet'
Whatever happened to 'The Crazy World of Arthur Brown'? Did Arthur get 'Fired'?
John Miles had many hits in Europe with his own band, (some produced by Alan). he plays keyboards & guitar on stage for Tina Turner. He duets with Tina on vocals when Brian Adams is not available!
David Pack, Joe Puerta, Christopher North & Burleigh Drummond were the band 'Ambrosia'. They'd made US hits inc. 'How Much I Feel' & 'You're The Biggest Part of Me'. David's solo performances were featured in the film 'White Knights' & he was worked extensively with Quincy Jones & Patti Austin. Joe plays bass with Bruce Hornsby.
Gordon Parry is an ward winning classical music engineer. His masterpiece is the recording of Wagner's 'The Ring' for London Records. He now works for the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
Keith Johnson devised for this album, the first of a new generation of keyboards using voltage control technology & analog sampling. It became known as The Projectron. The instrument was capable of making sounds similar to the 'Fairlight', produced many years later.
Terry Sylvester replaced Graham Nash in the 'Hollies' in 1970. He sang with Allan Clarke on 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother' & 'The Air That I Breathe'.
Tony Richards is the son of Ron Richards, who produced all the Hollies hits. Toby Works for Alan as a full-time assistant.
CLAUDE DEBUSSY wrote an operatic work he called 'Le Projet' (The Project) based on 'The Fall of the House of Usher'. It was never completed.
Francis Monkman was a founder member of 'Curved Air'. He later joined forces with guitarist John Williams & Kevin Peek to form the band 'Sky'.
Laurence Juber was one of the last generation of 'Wings'.
The late Orson Welles never met Alan or Eric. He sent a tape after receiving the script for the narration on this album.
'Tales' was premiered at The Griffith Park Observatory Planetarium with one of the first ever specially commissioned laser shows.

Journal Impact This chart shows the development of journal-level impact metrics in time
|The objective of this study is to investigate the role of internal factors in generating financial performance of firms in the Czech Republic. The paper examines the impact of firm specific factors on company financial performance of 974 firms in the Czech Republic over the period 2005 to 2008, using data in the Albertina database. Pooled and panel cross-sectional time series techniques are used for the data analysis. Return on Assets (ROA) is the dependent variable of the model and eight firm specific factors are introduced as the explanatory variables. Using Return on Assets as the dependent variable, it is established that the firm size, sales growth and capital turnover are having significant positive impact on financial performance of firms. At the same time, debt ratio and inventory reflect significant negative impact on financial performance of firms. Overall explanatory powers of the two models are low and further research is necessary to increase the statistical power of the model. The results from the present study may be very encouraging and useful for managers as well as investors to plan investment and operational activities to achieve profitability objectives more efficiently and effectively. The findings have important managerial implications.

Airedale Terrier Puppy Facts
Did you just bring home a new Airedale Terrier puppy and want to learn more about the breed?
Maybe you are thinking about buying a puppy and want to know if this is the right breed of dog for you and your family?
No matter what your situation may be, you will find the answers to your questions right here!
Breed History
This is a relatively young breed. Also known as the Waterside Terrier, the Bingley Terrier, or simply as the King of Terriers, the Airedale Terrier originated in the second half of the 19th century in England.
The name "Airedale" was created from the area that is considered as the birthplace of the breed -- a valley ("dale" in Old English) between Aire and Wharfe Rivers.
The breed was created by the Yorkshire men by crossing the now extinct Black and Tan terrier with the Otterhound. These dogs were used to hunt down large rats that occupied the banks of the Aire River.
The breed gained a lot of recognition in World War I when it was used as a messenger dog. Airedale Terriers were renowned for their ability to deliver messages behind enemy lines despite devastating and sometimes fatal injuries. They were also used by the Red Cross to search for wounded soldiers.
Following the war, breed's popularity continued to grow due to its courage and intelligence. Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, and Warren Harding each owned an Airedale Terrier.
The Airedale was one of the first breeds used for police duty in Germany and Great Britain. It has also been used to hunt big game in Africa and India.
Today the breed is used mostly for companionship but some working Airedale Terrier lines are used for police and military duty, search and rescue, guarding, hunting, tracking, and rodent control.
The Airdale Terrier was one of the breeds used to develop the Black Russian Terrier.
The breed was introduced to North America in 1880s and recognized by AKC in 1888.
Physical Characteristics of Airedale Terrier Puppies
The Airedale is the largest of the terriers (while the Black Russian Terrier is bigger, the AKC considers it as member of the Working Group and not the Terrier Group).
It has a sturdy, well muscled body with long and sloping shoulders, well sprung ribs, and moderate length neck. The front legs are perfectly straight while the back legs are strong and muscular. The tail is set high on the back. It's often ducked but this is not a requirement.
The head is long and flat with deep and powerful forehead, small V-shaped ears, small, dark and intelligent eyes, and medium-size black nose.
The coat consists of hard and dense straight outer coat covering the dog well over the body and legs, and a soft undercoat. Airedale ears, legs, head, and underbelly are tan while the back and upper sides are either black or black mixed with gray and white.
|22 to 24 inches
|55 - 70 pounds
|22 to 23 inches
|45 - 60 pounds
The Airedale Terrier is an alert, intelligent, loyal, and fun loving dog. It has a strong protective instinct, and, despite being friendly even with strangers, it will make an excellent watchdog. Like most Terriers, it can be independent, strong-minded, and even stubborn.
He likes to show off and demonstrate how smart he is, but he'll do it once, maybe twice! Their attitude is, "I did it and if you were not paying attention, then that is your problem!"
While it's good with children, it tends to play rough and is not recommended for small children. The best way in which to introduce Airedale Terriers to children is to do so when they are puppies. With early exposure to children and socialization training, they'll make wonderful pets.
Like all Terriers, the Airedale likes to chase small animals such as squirrels and ferrets. It may get along with a specific cat if they grew up together but there are no guarantees.
They also like to dig, "play" with newspapers and toilet paper, and chew. Visit stop dog from digging and dog chewing to learn how to minimize the damage caused by these behaviors.
The Airedale gets bored when left alone or ignored for prolonged periods of time. Be sure to include him in family activities. He also needs to be kept busy and active to prevent boredom and stay out of trouble.
They are not difficult to train but they require an owner who will be able to assert his or her authority over a strong-minded dog. An Airedale will try to establish his dominance over any family member he sees as submissive.
They do not respond to harsh training methods. Some other things to avoid are repetitiveness and boring training sessions. The best way to train your Airedale is through positive reinforcement, including treats and praise. Be sure to keep training sessions fun and fresh to prevent boredom.
Airedales are notorious for their clever abilities to make things disappear without a hint of guilt. They teach you very quickly to hide anything you don't want to be "borrowed". You better develop the ability to see humor in all situations!
Best Owner / Living Conditions
Because of its high indoor activity level, this breed is not recommended for an apartment lifestyle.
It will do best with an active, patient, and assertive owner living in the suburbs.
Some Airedale Terrier breeders may interview prospective owners to make sure this is the right breed for them.
Activity and Exercise
The Airedale Terrier is a very active breed and needs lots of exercise to stay physically fit and mentally sharp.
It loves to swim, run, and retrieve objects. You may incorporate these activities into an exercise routine. If you have a fenced yard, your pet will get plenty of exercise by running free. If you are into jogging or bicycle riding, you may take an adult Airedale along, but always on a leash.
At a minimum, take your pet for several long walks every day.
The Airedale is an average shedder but requires more grooming than some other breeds.
Brush several times a week to remove dead hair and undercoat. A haircut or stripping four to five times a year will minimize shedding. If you plan to cut the hair yourself, always bathe and dry your pet before you begin clipping -- this will protect the blades and make them last longer.
The beard needs to be washed at least once a day to remove food residue.
Health Concerns
Like all dog breeds, Airedale Terriers are susceptible to complications caused by internal and external parasites such as ticks, fleas, and worms.
Other health concerns include hypothyroidism, hip dysplasia, and skin infections. For more information about dog diseases and health, visit dog health problems.
Buy only from reputable Airedale Terrier breeders to reduce the risk of the above and many other health problems (visit dog breeders to learn how to identify responsible dog breeders).
No matter how small the risk of health problems is, any puppy may get sick or injured. Many health problems will require an immediate attention from your Vet, but there are many others that will not, and you may handle them on your own.
To save time and money, learn how to diagnose and treat dog health problems that don't require your Vet's attention.
Life Expectancy
The average life expectancy for Airedale Terrier puppies is between 10 and 12 years.
Did you ever consider adopting your next pet?
If this is the breed you are interested in, and adoption appeals to you, consider contacting your local Airedale Terrier rescue. There are thousands of pets waiting for a loving home and, yes, it's possible to adopt a purebred dog.
Not happy with your pet's behavior? Need help with training your dog for obedience? Then check this Airedale Terrier Behavior and Obedience Training Guide.

Right: Nicolas Cage and Bruckheimer

The Sorcerer's Apprentice; Lower right:

filming of Pirates of the Caribbean.
asked me to be associate producer," he relates."So I came [to Hollywood] with a job. I hadno money, but I had a job."For the next 11 years, Bruckheimerworked as associate producer and produceron a number of films that did well, but hiscareer really exploded when he was pairedwith former studio executive Don Simpsonand the two produced Flashdance. That wasfollowed by a string of hits, including BeverlyHills Cop and Top Gun. After Simpson's death,in 1996, during the production of the hit filmThe Rock—incidentally, the first ofBruckheimer's seven projects starring NicolasCage—the producer decided to go it alone.Hefollowed up the next year with another bigaction hit, Con Air.
While it may seem that a lot of Bruckheimer's films are big action blockbusters, he
scoffs at any notion that it is all he aims to do.
He says he starts out looking for "something
that's entertaining, with great characters,
that's got good stories.
"You develop things, and some of them
happen," he explains. "You develop four small
films and none of them come to fruition. You
develop 10 big-budgeted films and they all
come to fruition."
show runners," he says. "They're the ones who
are writing the episodes; you want them to produce them. We'll certainly help them with casting; we'll work very closely with them on the
pilot, make sure they have the right cast, the
right tone, [that it] has the right look to it. But if
it gets picked up, they're going to do the show."
Although television is an important part
of his business, he seems more energized talking about motion pictures, and that may be
due to the necessary commitment.
"Movies take forever to get made," hesays. "So I have to spend a little more time."Asked how much time, Bruckheimer,without hesitation, responds, "Years. It can beseven, eight years. We did one that took 10years."Initially, the work is devoted to the script.Bruckheimer will work with a writer or teamsof writers to get to a point where he's comfort-able trying to move the project to production.
"You read the script; you give them notes,"
he explains. "They rewrite; you take a meeting with them, talk about it, read it again, sit
down with them, talk about it and hopefully
get to a place where you can make the film."
Bruckheimer claims those meetings are
true give-and-take.
"I love smart people who can talk me out ofthings," he asserts. "I only try to force my cre-ative view if the writers and directors are gettingaway from the movie we wanted to make."In the case of The Sorcerer's Apprentice,despite his Disney deal, the project did notoriginate with Bruckheimer but was broughtto him by Nicolas Cage, who had a lifelongaffection for Fantasia.
Bruckheimer's world now takes two
paths: One is developing television projects,
the other film.
"I'm certainly more hands-on in films
than I am in television," he admits. His television work is mostly relegated to the initial
creation and development of the series.
"The word for television is speed," heclarifies. "You hear a pitch; you pitch it to anetwork; you know in a day or two if they'regoing to give you a script commitment. Itturns into a script in six weeks; they say yes orno for a pilot; you shoot the pilot."But Bruckheimer claims his work prettymuch ends after the pilot.
"In television, you want to empower your

how many will ever get into production.
"You never know," he says. "If you see five,you're lucky."In a town where "everyone wants to direct,"Bruckheimer is happy with what he does.
"I think everyone would like to direct afilm," he says, "but you have to know whatyou're good at. And I'm not sure I have thepatience to direct."What he's good at is getting films made,regardless of budget. Articles have been writtenabout studios and television networks tighten-ing belts due to fiscal uncertainty these days,but Bruckheimer denies it's anything new.
"[The fiscal constraints] have always beenthere. It's always the same," he says. "Everybudget you submit to the studio, they alwayssay [it's] too much. If you're good, you finddifferent ways to do it. You make it simpler. Itdoesn't change the content; it changes howyou film the content."Ultimately, all that matters are the finalresults, and Bruckheimer's desired epitaph saysit all: "He really entertained audiences; he madethem feel better for a couple of hours."

Have you recently been hurt in a vehicle, pedestrian, or biking accident? If so, the evidence you collected immediately after the incident may prove crucial for your ability to recover compensation in a serious accident claim.
Taking pictures on your phone immediately after the incident is strongly recommended, but in some cases, you may even need to return to the scene. It's hard to take in details immediately after a serious accident, but your ability to piece things together by looking at what you already have and visiting the scene may be important for your serious accident claim.
Presenting this information to your lawyer may help you uncover the legal issues at play in a serious accident claim. You may be eligible to recover compensation depending on the severity of your injuries and the extent to which you can illustrate that your injuries were caused by someone else's negligence. Do not hesitate to get help from a physician immediately after the accident occurs. This may be the only way for you to recover compensation since your serious accident claim will largely depend on the injuries you present. Time is of the essence when someone else hits you or causes you injuries or damage. Do not wait to get help.

The 4th of August brought the close of the V & A quilts 1700-2010.
How lovely it would have been to be able to attend. If I lived in the UK I'm sure I would have been several times. But, for those of us across the sea,I had to make do with what was available on the internet. Until I secured a copy of the Book of the exhibition, collated by Sue Pritchard. What I sheer delight it is! The text and the 'untold stories' are wonderful, to read and indulge in. The photography however exceeds all expections it is exceptional! it is a fine substitute for not being able to attend. If you, like myself have a love of immersing yourself in history, and historical quilts, you are going to adore this book.
Australias own 'Rajah Quilt' was requested to attend this exhibition, and kindly lent by our National Gallery in Canberra. It was no 5, in the exhibtion and features in the above mentioned book. I have never seen such wonderful close up photos of it as in this book.
The Rahaj Quilt was made in 1841 aboard the convict transport ship on it way to Van Diemans Land (Tasmania) .
The quilt was made in the thanks to Elizabeth Fry and the ladies of the convict ship Committee. It is only brought out for display a few times a year in Canberra.
Quilt 1700-2010 book, apart from quilts has many beautiful images and photos, as you can see by the one in the book beside the Rajah Quilt, it is a stunning publication.

This has been a month of family, travel, exhaustion, and fun. I will jump back on the blogging band wagon more in a week or so, but I was just wondering who people listen to on their ipods in their cars when they travel. My music on my playlists varies a lot, but on any playlist, there will almost always be music by: The Indigo Girls, India Arie, The Dixie Chicks, and Ingrid Michaelson. People would laugh if they saw how random my lists are. I have everything from musicals and folk music to R&B. We always listen to a ton of good kids's music when we travel, but I always find it really amusing which songs from my playlist my kids sing along to and ask to be repeated. Here is the list of some of the current songs that either both or one of my older kids like singing along to:
- "Jolene" by Dolly Parton. Now this song is a classic. I dare you to try singing along without making an emotional/strange face. There may even be a fist held up in air and eyes closed to portray extra emotion.
- Both of my kids also love singing along to "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele.
- "Hey Soul Sister" by Train is always a party pleaser in any car ride.
- "I Feel the Earth Move" by Carol King has recently become a favorite dance song in the car. I know… we are super cool.
- Sofia loves singing along to "You and I" by Ingrid Michaelson and also "The Power of Two" by The Indigo Girls."
- My kids love singing along to tons of children music, but their current favorite song by Elizabeth Mitchell (one of the best children's singers) "Ooki Na Kuri No Ki No Shita De (Under the Big Chestnut Tree)"
Which songs have been sing along favorites that you have had on repeat in the car this summer?

Jesus refers to Himself as the "light of the world" (John 8:12). He also says that you are the "light of the world" (Matt 5:14). And He promises that whoever follows Him "will not walk in darkness" but will have the light of life" (John 8:12).
What does He mean? What are we to understand by this? What is the light?
The city of Ephesus was the seat of satanic practices and all manner of occult activities when Paul first visited it. To this citadel of evil and idolatry, Paul went to "give light to those who [sat] in darkness."
When he wrote to the Christians there he referred to them as "light in the Lord" and encouraged them to "walk as children of light." This light is revealed in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. This is the light others should witness in us.
Goodness, righteousness, and truth – each of these three terms covers a different aspect of our witness.
Don't forget Jesus encourages you to "let your light shine before others" (Matt 5:16)
Righteousness conveys legality. Psalm 119:172 defines righteousness as keeping the commandments of God, thus righteousness implies conformity to law. It indicates uprightness and a manifestation of justice. It can literally mean being right. Therefore, righteousness should be a characteristic of a Christian. He is fair and just in his dealings with others, plays by the rules and respects others' rights and possessions.
Also, in Ephesians, Paul makes mention of deceit, things done in secret, and the hidden things of darkness. "All truth" is their opposite. The character of the life of the Christian is without deceit. Nothing is hidden, underhanded, or dishonest; nothing smacks of hypocrisy or pretence. The life of those walking in the light will be open, above-board, and transparent; it has nothing to conceal and never pretends to be something it is not.
"Goodness" in the New Testament can mean either the act or the intention motivating the act. It can be gentle or sharp, but the intention of the good person is always the well-being of the recipients of his goodness. An English word that covers some aspects of the Greek word is "benevolence." This is the inclination to do good which seems to be Paul's intent.
When Jesus says He is the light of the world, He is giving us a perfect example to follow.
And He invites you to follow.
Pastor Robert Chew

Vox becomes first Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Authorised Training PartnerMonday, October 24th, 2016
Vox has become the first ALE (operating under the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise brand) authorised Training Partner and has launched a training academy to meet the growing demand for highly skilled resources in the enterprise communications services and solutions market.
Says Henda Edwardes, Executive Head of Communications at Vox, "By creating a local facility, we are hoping to expand the training opportunities available to all Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise customers and partners, across the continent, and provide greater access to world class training and skills development."
The course material and training academy curriculum is the same as that which is delivered internationally at training centres in USA (Boston & Los Angeles), Mexico, Brazil (Sao Paulo), UK (London) , Italy (Milano), Greece (Athens), France (Brest & Paris), Germany (Stuttgart) and Russia (Moscow). The costs and duration of the training will differ depending on the modules, topics and certification sought but with the added benefit of reduced travel costs and out of office time.
"With our partners, we co-create a personalised, connected experience that delivers tangible outcomes for our customers and their end-users. The Vox Telecom Academy is an integral arm to ALE in delivering the knowledge and skills that enable delivery of these outcomes in this experience economy.
This partnership further aligns with ALE's journey in becoming a Cloud Service Provider with disruptive new models of delivering our Communications and Networking portfolios to market, whilst building and maintaining local skills to execute on delivery to our customers and their end-users" says Ravin Naidu, Regional Sales Director, Southern Africa at ALE
The objective of the Training Academy, is to provide all Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Partners with certified training across sales, pre-sales and technical capabilities, as well as offering ALE customers with end-user training.
The Training Academy is being housed at the Vox campus in Waverley, Johannesburg, and can accommodate approximately 8-12 people per course, to ensure comprehensive access to trainers, equipment and learning materials.
Features of the academy include lab facilities for live practice of theory, individual learning (learners will work on their own equipment and individual computers); virtual learning on pre-course sessions and electronic training material for ease of reference and onsite assistance.
"There is a growing, and continued need to develop and retain high level technical skills, and this academy represents a solid, and reputable first step for us, as we aim to become a leading training provider for the ICT industry," concludes Edwardes.

I stopped the straight punches with a bil sau and performed a double lap sau, repeatedly. My training partner then threw his hook punch, and I checked this with a pak sau (slapping/pinning block) and punch. I realised that I had strayed from the drill and we started again. I played the role of attacker, and my punches were met with a bil sau and double lap sau. My hook punch was checked with a bil sau and punch, as planned. Again, it was my turn to defend and counter, and again I checked the hook with a pak sau. I happened again, and again, and again.
I managed to do the drill correctly, intermittently, but it took a lot of conscious effort. I questioned why I was straying from the sequence, especially as it seems to be happening on a regular basis.
Reasonable adjustmentsIt's a great source of pride that the other students forget I am ill, or disabled, or whatever the politically correct term is right now. I would say a large part of that, and a reason why I sometimes struggle to pick things up, is that I have been adapting what I learn to my specific needs. The time I spend in solo practice, and the effect that training so much with weapons has had on my spacial awareness and coordination, have helped enormously with this.
Earlier in the class, we had a sequence where punches aimed at the head were punctuated with random blows to the abdomen. I was happy about this, because my defence against low blows is not my strongest point. The low gaan sau which was meant to stop the low blows was soon replaced with a jum sau. This goes a long way towards confirming my suspicions, because a gaan sau performed with my left arm is structurally much weaker than one performed with my right. The jum sau often requires a step back, though.
Abnormal reactionsIt has been said that my reactions to an attack are not what would usually be expected. When pulled by the double lap sau, I noticed that I was going into a semi squat, as used in some more traditional styles of kung fu. I have no idea why I was doing this, because it meant that I was essentially in a bowed position when I had to follow up. There must be some way I can use this to my advantage. I don't know where it came from, but that's true of the other strange things I do sometimes.
Losing momentumIn the class, there is one other student with the same grade as I am. There were three of us, but the third seems to have developed a preference for private tuition. Between the two of us that remain, there is a consensus that this is the time when it is difficult to remain motivated.
I understand this. Wing chun is not a competition sport, it is a method of unarmed combat. The first issue is that you are developing skills which you hope will never be needed. Furthermore, something which becomes clear, especially when training the third empty hand form, is that some of what you learn could not be regarded as reasonable force under any circumstances.
Given the restrictions of the law, at least in the UK, maybe boxing is the most realistic form of self protection for a civilian. Away from the CCTV cameras, and potential witnesses, maybe it's a different story. In the end, it is unlikely that the modern world is going to adapt to traditional martial arts, so the traditional martial arts must adapt to the modern world. If you add in the fact that most of these arts come from cultures which are very different to the western world, you start to see that there are added difficulties. The basic philosophy of Filipino martial arts, for example, is that weapons should be used, if available. Any objects within the immediate environment, and the environment itself, is to be seen as a weapon. From a legal standpoint, this is shaky ground, to say the least.
I don't want to fightIf I'm accused of spilling someone's pint, or looking at their date or significant other, my standard response is that I don't want to fight. It's true. Even as I am expecting that my words will not be taken on board by the knuckle dragger who feels he has something to prove, I'm hoping that the anger will dissipate and the situation will be resolved without bloodshed. On one occasion, I explained my stance very clearly. Pointing out that everyone's night would be ruined by one of us leaving in a police car, and the other in an ambulance, without saying which was more likely for either of us, it appeared that the potential consequences of his actions became apparent to him, and my would be adversary shook my hand and said that I was a good man. Yes, I found it weird too.
On another occasion, a friend and I were joined by someone we both know vaguely. He went into great detail about all the fights, real or imagined, in which he had been involved. If his stories were true, then many people have been injured by a fist, a boot or a head butt from him. I listened to his stories until he asked what I thought of him, whether I considered him to be a tough guy or a hooligan. I replied that I prefer not to make such judgements about people, but that fighting should be avoided if there is any other way of avoiding a situation.
After a few more pints of fermented hops and barley, my friend had to drain some of the fluid from his system, so he staggered off to the toilets. Hmm. It's funny how you don't realise that you've had a little too much to drink until you stand. Sorry, I went off on a tangent there. Left alone with me, the young man who had been so eager to tell tales of his fighting ability said that he'd been thinking about what I had said, and he didn't like to fight but, for him, it seemed to be unavoidable. He said that he supposed he just had one of those faces people like to punch.
I said nothing for a moment, aware that the situation could still turn. I said to him that, if people have learned to expect you to throw rocks at them, they too will pick up rocks whenever they catch sight of you. He nodded. He understood.

I based this recipe off of dishingwithleslie.blogspot.com
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Yield 4-6 servings
Here's What You Need:
- freshly chopped cilantro, about 1/2 cup
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- the juice of 4 limes
- 2 Tbs vegetable oil
- 1 Tbs kosher salt
- 1 Tbs freshly ground black pepper
- 1-2 tsp sugar
- 1 white onion, thinly sliced
- 2 Lbs flank steak
Plenty of freshly chopped cilantro
1 white onion, finely chopped
several limes, cut into wedges
Guacamole (optional)
- In a small mixing bowl, combine cilantro, red wine vinegar, lime juice, vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stirring well; set aside.
- Place flank steak in a large baking dish, (9X13 works for me). Pour cilantro mixture on top of steak and turn to coat. Top with sliced onions. Cover dish with foil and let marinate in refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
- Remove steak from marinade; discarding marinade. (It's okay if some cilantro and onions remain on the steak.) Place steak directly on the rack of your gas or charcoal grill over medium/high heat. Close lid and let cook 15-20 minutes for medium, turning only once halfway during cooking time.
- When steak is done, set it on cutting board and cover with foil. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Cut the steak against the grain into thin strips. Then chop into smaller pieces.
- Serve with warm corn tortillas. Garnish with fresh cilantro, diced white onion, and a squeeze of lime and maybe some Guacamole.
Chefs Notes:
I freaking love tacos and had so much fun making my own. They werent quite street tacos from mexico but they were pretty good.

The police officers who have ignored my police reports after making a pretense of taking them are Sgt. Guy Pratt of Seattle, Officer Davis (black man) of Seattle; Kelly Burris of Sonoma Sheriff's in California; and Hood River police and Mayor (a Jew) in Oregon.
Guy Pratt was present when I witnessed Robert Garrett Jr. going to Seattle Headquarters and giving them money at their station, when he took me along. Robert made over 7-8 trips within about 1 week and took me with him at one time. Kelly Burris is a friend of the Tancer-Sterling family. The police in Hood River who have been ignoring me since I was a pre-teen, who I witnessed taking a briefcase of money and who showed up in uniform with their detective to threaten me and tell me not to dare think I could make a report, are mostly the same people and their mayor is a Jew who sells out to Barak Obama.
The crimes Barak Obama committed against me are as follows:
Incident One: Moses Lake
1. Held a gun to my head in Moses Lake with fellow drug-dealer (black man) Larry (his mentor, who Obama refers to in his autobiography) standing by. I was about 9 or 10. He pulled the gun out on me when I asked if he was taking the money and drugs to Gary.
2.. Carried a backpack full of marijuana and stuffed with money to go to Gary Goldsmith, his drug lord from the UK.
3. Told me he was going to kill me and then decided not to and said he'd take care of me "later". Said he had a magic carpet and I should take a ride on it sometime. He said this after knowing I had asked another man why there were "bugs in the rug" when he called his pubic hair "the black forest" and "rug".
4. Put his hand on my shoulder and squeezed in a grip to cause pain until Robert came over with a shot to inject me. Also unzipped his zipper when the way he grabbed my shoulder was a way he knew another man did before trying to force me to do oral sex.
Incident Two: Moses Lake-Seattle-Idaho-Canada
1. Had me in a low riding 70s sedan with him and his black mentor Larry Brice (who was a car salesman in Moses Lake, worked for Middleton and Goldsmith in the UK, and then got a job inside of Moses Lake police station as a 'chaplain', and who bit a piece of my navel--the skin on my stomach--out).
2. Jumped me with Larry in the woods, reaching over the seat to beat me and then getting into the seat next to me to assault me.
3. Picked me up from the Moses Lake military base at one point to force me into the car and locked the doors on me while making threats when I said to let me out. They kidnapped me. They then beat me until my nose was bloody, and exchanged drugs, money, and black arms in the woods. They were handing around semi-automatics and machine guns. The guns were going to Irish that George Bechtold and Mike Middleton were connected to. Once I saw a few, another time it was a big line up of guns, and then other times there were entire semi-trucks going out and I saw what was inside the trucks. The gun names I heard a lot were AK-47 and then were semi-auto and machine guns like Uzi types. Barak was dealing with the AK-47s mostly but Mike was getting all the kinds. None of the guns I saw traded and exchanged were revolvers. It was all big guns and maybe some glocks.
4. Larry Brice and Obama picked me up from the Moses Lake military base for over a week one time, telling me my parents couldn't pick me up and they were my "ride" and then made more comments, Larry to me, saying I could ride Barak Obama's magic carpet. They started making sexual jokes that were perverted with me in the car. One time they had a Robert in the back, but the other times they forced me in the car with just them and twice assaulted me.

In this challenge, I read from the Handbook of Nature Study (just to myself not the kids). We collected a ton of leaves along with a few mushrooms, some acorns and a couple of pine cones. We were on the trail for 2 hours so that was a little long with the young ones but we all had a good time. There are 3 trails so we will have to go back and hike the other 2 trails soon.
By the time we got home we were all tired so we left our bag of "treasures" until later. After supper, we had fun making leaf rubbings and even used a rainbow stamp pad to do a few leaf stamps. I don't care how old I am, I love making leaf rubbings. (maybe more than the kids)
The main point of this challenge is to use your words to describe what you heard, saw and felt. This was pretty difficult for the kids so I think it was a good challenge because it gets them thinking. The next time we go out I think they will be more observant. Here are their responses:
Jenna (5)
One word to describe something you heard. water
Two words for something you saw. brown mushroom (with a white stem)..yeah I know more than 2 words
Three words for something you felt. soft, fuzzy leaf
Emma (7)
One word to describe something you heard. crinkling (leaves)
Two words for something you saw. wobbly bridge
Three words for something you felt. soft, bumpy mushroom
Ryan (10)
One word to describe something you heard. cricket
Two words for something you saw. animal den
Three words for something you felt. smooth stick (he couldn't come up with 3 words)
As always, I took pictures:
|starting out on the trail...my nephew came along too
|Emma wanted me to take this picture to show how tall the fern was.
|Can you find Connor?
|This was so cool....sprouting acorns
|princess pine (we took some time to learn a little about spore cones)
|Ellie wanted me to take her picture with this leaf.
|the boys throwing rocks in the river
|Favorite picture of the day.
|waiting for everyone to catch up
|I came up on Jenna kneeling over these tiny flowers she found.
|everything is going to seed
|Ellie and Connor walking the end of the hike hand in hand.
|Emma was so happy about these giant leaves.
|lots of leaves
|about a foot long!
|you can see we found quite a variety
|Emma making a leaf rubbing

text: Turkey on Tuesday transferred five inmates to the prison island holding Kurdish rebel leader Abdullah Ocalan so he can end his isolation. The Council of Europe had demanded that Turkey end Ocalan's solitude, saying his mental state was deteriorating after years as the sole inmate of Imrali island, off Istanbul. The move also comes as Turkey takes steps to increase its minority Kurds' cultural and political rights in an attempt to end the 25-year insurgency by Ocalan's Kurdistan Workers' party, or PKK. The PKK is branded a terrorist organisation by the United States and the European Union.

Magnificent Magento Training Courses in Greater Manchester
It's a typical midweek staff training session, but the stuff your tutor was rabbiting on about went over your head. Big style. Several slides and sage advice later, you leave the room every bit as bewildered as you were before, and you learn nothing. Each term is just a term, nothing no more, nothing less, only gibberish.
This is where we differ: our plain English approach to teaching Magento is a breath of fresh air. We may do the odd slide or three, but everything we do is succinct and to the point. Nothing else will suffice.
We at Contact Media Ventures Ltd. can save you from the clutches of an uninspiring session with its magnificent Magento training courses, in a south-eastern corner of Greater Manchester. Just off the M60 motorway close to where suburbia meets the Peak District, in Bredbury.
Why Magento?
Our company behind the CMSConnex website, Contact Media Ventures, has experience with the Magento content management system. In recent years, Magento has cemented itself as the 'must have' content management system for eCommerce sites and a variety of other uses. Subject areas include:
- Introduction: about Magento and how it came about;
- Installation: adding Magento to your server space;
- Choosing extensions: how to choose a suitable look for your installation;
- Content types: difference content types in Magento;
- Menu mastery: managing your menus and titles in Magento;
- Configuration: managing your website, from article to language settings;
- Social Media Integration: how to publicise your Magento website.
We are based in Bredbury, a few miles outside Stockport in Greater Manchester. Our base is just off Junction 25 of the M60 motorway.
Regular trains call at Brinnington railway station for Manchester Piccadilly, Marple, New Mills Central and Sheffield. From the railway station, walk along The Link then turn left at the roundabout for Middlesex Road, till you reach a mini roundabout. Turn left, walk straight ahead till you see the Lingard Court sign on your right.
The 322, 327 (Stagecoach Manchester), 380 and 381 (First Greater Manchester) services from Denton, Haughton Green, Stockport and Romiley stop near Lingard Court, some 50 yards from the stop.
From Junction 25 of the M60 motorway, follow signs marked 'A560 Bredbury' then at second roundabout, go straight ahead towards Ashton Road (A6017). Turn left onto Lingard Lane which is after the BP Service Station on your left hand side. Carry on till you see sign for Lingard Court, then turn left. Enter 'SK6 2QU' into your Sat Nav device.
