Children can look for hidden pieces of evidence to solve the murder of Camille Holland.
Based on a real murder case that took place in Clavering, Essex, in 1903, children will solve the mystery by collecting all the evidence and completing the jigsaw puzzle of 'who dunnit'.
There is a prize for the correct answer.
The event takes places at the Essex Police Museum in Chelmsford on Saturday from 10am to 4pm.
Children aged five and above can take part, it costs £1 per child and there is no need to book.
Also at the museum, families can go back in time and become a Victorian police officer.
On February 19, people can dress up in Victorian police uniform and have their photograph taken, then make a special frame while their sepia picture is printed.
Curator Becky Wash says "Victorian photography was very different compared to today. You had to sit very still for a long time so you don't see many Victorians smiling! This event is great fun for all the family to join in."
The event runs from 10am until 4pm, and costs £2 per photograph. All ages are welcome.
For more information on both events contact Becky Wash on 01245 457150, or email email@example.com.

Ufo Update
Posted by dandare on January 7, 2008
Hello and welcome to this weeks updates…..
Remember, not long ago, we had the "Dorito" ufo, well the same local newspaper has another catchy (not) article entitled "Mystery arrowhead UFO spotted" (posted 3rd january 2008 – although for a minute, i thought it had something to do with Alien Archeaology). It mentions
"Householders described the object as looking like an "arrowhead" with three orange lights arranged in the shape of an isosceles triangle"(extract from article); oh well, at least the headlines are becoming quite entertaining…. cannot wait for the next one!
hfxnews has "Lots of speculation, still no explaination for ufo" (posted 4th january 2008); it says that "A video of an object trailing a dark, spiralling plume behind it and plummeting toward Prince Edward Island's Northumberland Strait remains the focus of intense speculation" (extract from article). The incident took place on 29th december,2007.
We are back to standard reported articles again; in the eveningleader.co.uk it reports "More people report seeing UFOs flying over county" (posted 4th january,2008). They are all of the orange light variety, and give mention to quite a few different witness accounts. I'll leave this up to you, as to what you think these are.
The eveningleader is back again (7th january 2008) with "Residents line up to confirm UFO sightings"; what makes me smile, about alot of these type of reports, is that they all categorically say, that they are teatotal or did not have a drop to drink at all….
Fox6.com has "Could the UFO in the San Diego skies be sky lanterns?" (3rd january 2008).
The observer has "The truth is out: X-Files go public" (6th january 2008)…..with no mention of Nick Pope in the whole article… Basically if you are unaware the ufo files held by the MOD will become available to the public (online) starting from spring 2008; but will take 3 years to complete.
In theargus.co.uk "Ufo spotted zooming over downs" (3rd january 2008)…. its back to the mention of "little green men"…… they say it might have been similar to that seen in cornwall (i'm pretty sure they do not mean of the feathered kind, sighted by "the sun newspaper"). Not much to go on in this post.
Northantset.co.uk claims "Amazing ufo footage" (2nd january 2008), but i wouldn't hold your breath on this one however.
Also in the news
countywidenews.com has "Will a new year bring new visitors" (3rd january 2008).
We have at Associated Content "UFOs, spirits and mind control" (7th january 2008).
Lastly, "Explore alien worlds at Catawba science centre" (2nd january 2008).
Website of the week
http://www.uk-ufo.org/ An outstanding resource, with loads of UFO information on the UK….

This is a nice post, but if you are willing to accept some critisism (no harm meant)… the irrelevent "pics" and "cartoons" make it pretty hard to read. IMO, you would have a better blog without them.
Steve said
Please change irrelevent to irrelevant. Thanks 😉
dandare said
I'm willing to accept criticism, for sure steve?
I do see your point, and looking back through my posts i seem to be putting more pics up than ever before…and i take your point that alot of the actual information gets lost.
Therefore, i think i'll cut down dramatically, and just show a few (that's 2 or 3 and not 23).
Thank you for informing me, 🙂
Is notsonews no more, as there does not seem to be any new posts (shame, i liked that blog). Although i notice you have started another.

LEHI, Utah - Real Salt Lake have an objective for their opening playoff series against FC Dallas: take their defensive effort to another level.
It's hard to imagine improving the RSL defense, which totaled a league-high 15 shutouts this season and set a new MLS single-season record by allowing just 20 goals.
"We have played well defensively,"defender Tony Beltran said. "We did break that record, but we could have done better. We'll keep doing the same things we've been doing that have got us to this point, but still we never like to give up goals."
Two of the keys to this defense will be located centrally. Jamison Olave and Nat Borchers are a formidable pair in the middle, and have each recently been named among the three finalists for the league's Defender of the Year award.
Olave is a physical presence with size and strength, and surprising speed to boot. But his aggressive and imposing nature is balanced by the more cautious play of Borchers, enjoying his best season since joining the club in 2008.
Those two are joined by Nick Rimando, who is one of the three finalists for Goalkeeper of the Year. Despite his short stature, he has great athletic ability and plays the ball extremely well with his feet.
Rimando had 14 shutouts this year, and established two of the longest shutout streaks in league history during this season.
"We've got the players that want to play defense, that want to contribute to the team, and that's why we've got the team records right now," he told MLSsoccer.com.
Despite all of the prior success, Real Salt Lake will need a consistent effort to stop a potent Dallas attack that scored 42 goals on the season, fourth best in the league.
Defender Chris Wingert warns that it's what lies ahead that is important.
"We have played extremely well as a team defensively throughout the season," Wingert said, "but again that will mean nothing if we go down there and give up a bunch of goals."

Not your daddy's Macanudo. Up a few clicks in flavor and power, this medium-bodied gem brings richness and complexity combined with smoothness.
These are my go-to cigars in the poco gordo or gordo sizes. The wrap is beautiful so is the construction, the band is an elegant vibrant blue. Starts smooth, but unique robust flavors claim your palette soon after.
Hmm, mine (Toro) had a tight draw. Enough so that it wasn't enjoyable and I just gave up after a couple inches. It came in the Macanudo Collection pack and I was hoping for much more. Maybe it was too moist. Might let the other one sit in the humidor for some time and try again. I've not been disapointed in any Macanudo cigar before.
I just started smoking in Oct, but these are GREAT; the best I've had yet. I really enjoyed it with a glass of cognac; good draw & nice thick smoke...I am most definitely going to order some more in the future.
Cigars to die for. I look forward to my Macanudo.
Well I went and did it I bought a box of the 6-60 Gordo's. I wrote about this stick awhile back when I picked up one at my local cigar store. I got them about a week ago and finally got one out of the humidor and lit it up, wow better than the one from the store. If ya like them big this is the cigar for you. I knew the cigar was good but after sitting a week they are fantastic, the longer they sit the better they will get, and the CI price is GREAT!
A friend gave me this interesting stick after a round of golf. First look it appears nothing like your typical Macanudo. The characteristic Macanudo band has been replaced with an almost cartoonish family crest symbol and the size was huge 6.0"x60. Construction was spot on and felt well pack and firm with minimal veins on the wrapper. Smell and taste had a cedar aroma with a creamy cedar at times slightly sweet transferring into an earthier coffee. The draw and burn were both were perfect. Really happy with this one & I would both recommend it and buy it.
Don't expect REGULAR from this Cigar........ Expect fine taste, good draw, and thick smoke!!!!! Primo Gordo!
Great cigar I smoked macanudo's for years but the crue royal top notch never seems to amaze me great taste and flavor it's a royale cigar by its self .and a classy smoke were ever you smoke it the aroma and taste great awesome try them out enjoy.
Decent enough cigar, though I personally found the flavor and draw a bit underwhelming. I smoked the ones I bought, but personally this one doesn't make the cut for my humidor rotation when compared to the Man O War Ruination or Ave Maria in my book.
Love the Cru Royale! A buddy of mine got a box of the Robustos awhile back, so I got to smoke a few and I was very impressed. I don't often have the time to enjoy a real cigar experience with one of the big gauge boys, but I love quality and flavor. So, Cru's are great and I saw they come in cigarillo size. Got a pack of 30 and have loved them.... These are definitely in my daily rotation now, the 2nd third of them is fantastic. Smoked slow and patient, these go 20 mins and taste so much like the Robusto in that sweet 2nd third. Great choice for small cigar lovers who like flavor, character, and quality! Very smooth, very tasty, smell amazing, a delightful addition!!!
This is a very good Macanudo cigar! I love it, it is a medium to dark body, a little nutty, but very satisfying and perfect for time of the day.
Not what I expected, in a good way. Much more mild than expected with great flavor and LOTS of smoke. Going in my top 15 cigar list for sure.
I revisited this in the Robusto vitola tonight, and I was pleasantly surprised. Not a transcendent cigar by any means, but a nice middle of the road medium bodied smoke. Started with some cocoa/spice, then the last 1/3 came at me with some bolder flavors, more earthy and a tad bit of leather, with a some cocoa on the finish. Once again, good, but not spectacular. I would not buy a box of these anytime soon, albeit a decent smoke. There is just better stuff out there for the money.
Wow! Like others have said,a Macanudo you can actually taste! Perfect construction,,highly complex mouth-watering flavor, perfect draw, delicious aroma, get some! Great job Macanudo, thanks C.I.
On a whim I picked one of these up from my local candy store, I Like to call it that cause these beauties are sweet tasting. I got the 6X60 gordo. and was I surprised. It had all the great things a cigar should have, great ash, draw and taste. Now that I see the CI price I will be buying a box. You will not be disappointed.
Surprise surprise! I didn't really know what to expect of this one. Somewhat pinched for time, I picked this smaller stick out of my CI Sizzler sampler, but it had a lot to offer in a little package. Varying flavor notes, and clouds of smoke from front to back. Great middle of the road cigar, and worth keeping around to take advantage of an abnormally warm winter night in New England.
Good/very good flavor. Very strong nuttiness, with strong cocoa and mild pepper. Unfortunately the single I picked up had strong veins running along the bottom. These were hidden by the seam of the cellophane. Seemed to have been done on purpose to hide the veins. These were some of the largest veins I have seen on a premium cigar. I'm partially to blame, as I should have checked the stick a little more carefully prior to purchase. The thick veins caused the cigar to burn very unevenly on the wrapper. Additionally the burn within the cigar was uneven, even putting the canoeing wrapper aside. I felt like I was managing the burn of the cigar more than I was enjoying it. At times I was having to leave it alone for relatively long periods as it burned too hot and fast and then was having to constantly take pulls when it would go through periods of burning very cool and slowly. When it was burning correctly it was an excellent cigar. However, I'm not a big fan of cigars that you have to manage. Smoking a premium cigar should be effortless and with this one I was constantly having to think about how to keep it burning right. I had decided to give macanudos another chance, but this one made me again wary of them. Even if I had noticed this in the store, it just makes me wary of smoking more than the occasional single. A wrapper like this should have never made the cut on a cigar of this supposed level. A shame really, because I can see where a well constructed example would be an excellent smoke. But when buying premium, more than anything else, you're buying consistency and this one fell far short.
This is a decent cigar, a Macanudo with some flavour to it. Decently even burn and a pleasant aroma. A wee bit costly, but not excessively so.
Well I'll be danged ! ! ! Finally a Macanudo with some TASTE to it ! ! ! This Cru Royale (fairly new edition I guess) is just a dandy !! Several up-ticks from the Macanudo Robust and Many up-ticks from the orginal version. This is the first Macanudo I've smoked since probably the late '90's because I was dissatisfied with the super-mild and non-thrilling taste of them. With these Cru Royale ( I had the Toro size ) guys, I've changed my mind !
This is one tasty mac! It has a smooth, semi sweet dark chocolate and licorice flavor. Great draw, burn and construction.
Tight in the hand and nicely rolled. It is a well constructed cigar. Grassy prelight draw and gentle sweet grass upon lighting leading into a mild cedar off the light with subtle hints of cinnamon. A very creamy, almost buttery glaze left on the tongue. Classic leather and pepper in the final chapter of this cigar. I was very satisfied and will be putting a box in the humidor. I will be very interested to try this cigar again after some nappy time.

Mustang MonthlyEvents
2014 Cobra Jet Mustang Prototype Crossing Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas
Proceeds Will Benefit National Multiple Sclerosis Society
Ford Motor Company has teamed up with Barrett-Jackson Auction Company to auction off one hell of a car, an NHRA-ready one-of-a-kind prototype – 2014 Cobra Jet Ford Mustang. This powerful ride will cross the auction block at Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas on Saturday, September 28 to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
This NHRA-legal vehicle is powered by a 5.0L supercharged V-8 mated to a T4 racing transmission, an optional traction "wheelie" bar, 8.50 ET certified chrome-moly safety cage, exclusive Cobra Jet-branded Weld wheels, three-link rear suspension, lightweight racing brakes, 9-inch rear axle, and custom Cobra Recaro seats. This track-ready ride was built as a prototype for the 2014 model year with a unique serial number of #2014 BJMS CJXX1.
The exterior is painted an intense fiery orange with dark gray reflective stripes. The license plate features National Multiple Sclerosis Society's logo. The winning bidder will receive a once-in-a-lifetime Mustang experience, starting with becoming an honorary member of Team Mustang with full backstage passes to the Ford Product Development Center, Ford Design Studios and Ford Racing.
"The money to found Ford Motor Company came from Henry Ford's only race as a driver, so you could say motorsports is in our blood," says Dave Pericak, Mustang chief engineer. "This Cobra Jet is an awesome factory turn-key performer at the drag strip. It's capable of approximately nine-second quarter-mile runs as delivered from Ford. And we will include several once-in-a-lifetime experiences to the winning bidder. For example, few get to see the inner workings of the Ford Product Development Center and Ford Racing to learn how to leverage the Cobra Jet's power. This information can then be taken to the track to immediately break into competitive racing."
Ford will also offer Ride-and-Drives and hot laps at Mandalay Bay Event Center with the Shelby GT500, Boss 302 Mustang, Focus ST, Fiesta ST and the Shelby American-built GT350, GT500 Super Snake and Shelby Focus ST for rare high-speed experiences.
Not only will the winning bidder get one heck of a car, they will also get to enjoy training at Roy Hill's Drag Racing School in Sophia, NC, a tour of the Ford Product Development Center and Ford Racing with Mustang Chief Engineer Dave Pericak, which includes backstage passes into the Ford Design studio. On top of that, the whole Mustang experience will be documented for a future Mustang book and documentary, and they will receive a video of the vehicle build, testing and action from the Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas.
"We're proud to offer the opportunity for a serious competitor to up their game with this Mustang Cobra Jet," says Steve Ling, North America car marketing manager for Ford. "But, just as important, we're honored the proceeds will support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's work with those living with this disabling disease of the central nervous system. Through our long-standing relationship with Barrett-Jackson, we continue to support charities through exceptional vehicle sales."
Just last month the last retail 2014 Shelby GT500 convertible was auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson to support the Brain Injury Association of America, an organization championed by 1963 Indy 500 winner Parnelli Jones. It also brought in money to support the Carroll Shelby Foundation and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Happy bidding!

[Ed. Note: Taking the GMAT is an essential part of a good GMAT instructor's job because it gives us a whole new perspective when advising students. Bell Curves requires all teachers to regularly take the actual GMAT in order to hone their skills in the actual setting of the test, discover new trends, and report back experiences that can benefit students. On an unseasonably warm Monday the third week of November, three members of Bell Curves GMAT development team took the GMAT in order to experience the new Integrated Reasoning (IR) questions first hand in the real setting. This is Akil's experience on that particular day. To see reports of that same day from Jason or Ajani click either of their respective names. Keep an eye on this blog for an upcoming post about those aforementioned IR questions, as well as novel insights on cigarettes and the GMAT, and why NOT to sweat the AWA.]
My latest round of competitive test-taking took place this past Monday as I, along with two of my colleagues, signed up to take the GMAT to get a glance at the new Integrated Reasoning questions, test out some testing techniques, and reacquaint ourselves with the joyful experience of taking a four hour exam. As always when I take the GMAT, I left tired, excited, and informed. This time my three big takeaways for you future test-takers are as follows:
Feelings…nothing more than feelings
As I took the test, I was briefly thrown by a few questions that I felt were "too easy." As many test-takers do, I started to wonder whether (not "if," since this is not a conditional statement) this meant I had made mistakes on previous questions and whether my score was already doomed. I got my first feelings around question 7 in the quant when I was presented with a question that looked something like this (the numbers and structure of the problem have been changed to avoid giving away any actual GMAT questions and incurring the wrath of GMAC's Dr. Lawrence Rudner):
#7 If a particular colorful widget sold for $17 was discounted 18% from its original cost, what was the original cost of the item?
Most people will call this question easy, and I tend to agree that it lacks the sophistication of many questions you would see on the GMAT, and that slightly concerned me. Another notable question that gave me the heebee geebees looked something like this:
To me this is a basic exponent question probably more reflective of a quant level of 30 – 35 instead of the 45 – 50 I was aiming for. Despite my mild concern of having messed up, I had faith that my knowledge and experience would be reflected in my performance and that if I had messed up I could recover from any mistake.� So for each of those questions I decided to take a little more time to reread the question and ensure that there was no subtlety of language or math that I had overlooked. Once I was fairly confident that I hadn't missed anything, I soldiered on and just answered the question, putting it out of my mind as soon as I clicked confirm.
For the rest of the test I had to work against my distracted feeling, and I came across other problems that again felt really easy to me, but by then I was adamant that I would turn my feelings into something actionable and proactive. When presented with the question below, instead of simply allowing myself to be distracted by the feeling of "this problem is too easy," I forced myself to run though my mental "GMAT tricks checklist" to ensure that I'd checked for all the common mistakes that I tend to make when working GMAT questions. This slowed me down but gave me more confidence that I'd done everything I could to ensure that I got the question right. The downside of this double-checking was that I ended up rushing through the last 8 – 10 questions without truly working on most of them.
So all in all my feeling was that this test was not a particularly strong test for me and I might actually lose the wager I had going with my co-workers about who would achieve the best score. In the end it turned out that, in the immortal words of balladeer Morris Albert, my feelings where nothing more than feelings.� I scored a 48 in the quant section (remember the highest quant score is about a 51) despite all the perceived easy questions and the rushing at the end of the test.
This experience reaffirmed the advice we always give our students: have a plan for dealing with the emotional elements of the test. What do you do when you get questions that seem "too easy?" What do you do when you think it's not going as well as you'd hoped?
- Double-check the question for known GMAT "tricks" and for anything you might have overlooked. Make that feeling of unease something that is active and actionable.
- Remember your preparation. The point of the time you spend preparing for this test is to make it easier, so some questions should seem easy if you are well prepared.
- Remember you may get some "easy" questions even when you are doing really well. The CAT is a fickle beast and has its own reasons for shifting difficulty.
- Don't second-guess or debate performance on previous questions. It's unproductive since you can't go back. Live in the moment.
- Try not to focus on perceived difficulty of questions. Even us longtime GMAT professionals can't always get difficulty estimates right.
For another important take on dealing with feelings and perceptions during the test, check out Ajani's post from his test.
Good luck and good learning!

After 11 seasons--and an assortment of judges sitting next to him--Randy Jackson's future on "American Idol" is still up in the air.
While reports have circulated for quite some time now that he'd be leaving the judges' table to become a mentor to the singing hopefuls, his future isn't signed, selaed and delivered just yet.
As E! News reported Thursday, final decisions about Jackson won't be made until the new season 12 judges are in place.
U.S. & World
Check out Steven Tyler's Wildest "American Idol" Moments
"Negotiations are still in progress and nothing has been decided yet. If he chooses to stay Randy is mulling over what he would like his role to be on the show. This will all be resolved hopefully very soon," a source tells E! News.
So what else is known?
Mariah Carey has already been signed as a new judge. Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban and Lopez's touring partner Enrique Inglesias are also in talks join her.
Is Charlie Sheen looking to be a judge?
Returning producer Nigel Lythgoe has been saying for quite some time that there will be many changes come the new season. He most recently told Ryan Seacrest that he thinks it's time to consider having one-year judges instead of signing them to multi-season deals.
Season six winner Jordin Sparks agrees. "We're so used to people changing now that maybe every year they should change them out," she recently told me.
She also suggested Matchbox 20 frontman Rob Thomas for a judging spot. "That might be good," Sparks said. "It would be good to get a rocker's perspective in there."

Nikon has introduced a new top-of-the-range Coolpix compact camera, this one coming in above the previous line leader, the P6000.
No surprise that it's called the P7000, then.
Nikon is doing a Canon here. Canon's premium PowerShot G11 had a lower megapixel count than its predecessor, the better to reduce picture noise and in the realisation that 10Mp or so is sufficient. Likewise, the P7000 has a 10.1Mp sensor - less than the P6000's 13.5Mp. Both cameras have the same size of CCD: 1/1.7in.
The P7000 has a 7.1x optical zoom - the P6000 runs to 4x - and a 3in, 921,000-dot LCD. It can do 720p HD video recording, storing pics and movies on its 79MB of on-board storage or installed SDXC memory card.
It's also less bulky than its predecessor - there's no bulge/grip on the right-hand side - but it's heavier: 310g to 240g, thanks to a bigger battery that's good for 350 shots. The P6000 could take 260 shots on a full battery.
There's no word on pricing or a release date. You check up on the P7000's full spec here. ®

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Preservationists in Miami Beach are fighting to save the city's historic homes from demolition.
The issue that's being debated is whether a single-family home can be designated a historic building without the owner's consent, and it's currently one of the most heated issues in the city, pitting those with the means to buy up and build bigger with those who want to preserve the history and flavor of Miami Beach.
"This is a matter of celebrities and deep pockets and lawyers and lawyers and architects and engineers to destroy the flavor of Miami Beach. I don't think its fair," said Jeannette Varela.
Varela has renovated and saved several almost century-old mansions. Daniel Ciraldo hopes to keep his island home from towering new neighbors.
"If we continue in this level of demolition, we're going to lose so many of those homes that are so characteristic of Miami Beach, that helped define Miami Beach, and we really think that in the end, that will reduce property values," Ciraldo said.
A city committee met Wednesday and advanced legal protections for architecturally significant homes built before 1942.
The poster mansion for the issue is one on Star Island, built in 1925 by Florida's first registered architect. It was about to be torn down for progress by the owner, a so called "Real Housewife of Miami" and her husband, until historic preservationists took it to court, where it is still today.
"People moved into those areas because of the special character. Once you start demolishing those historically-significant homes, then that character is lost," said William Cary with the Miami Beach Planning Department.

Dirk Hoffmann is a research scientist in the geochronology section of the Archaeological Sciences group within the Department of Human Evolution and works on U-series dating of carbonates and applications in Archaeology and Earth Sciences.
He is a physicist (Dipl. phys., University of Heidelberg) and received his PhD (Dr. rer. nat.) in January 2002 at the Institute of Environmental Physics, University of Heidelberg. His work focusses on radiometric dating techniques applied to geochronology, palaeoclimate archives or archaeological sites and artefacts. He is a specialist in multi-collector (MC) inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICPMS) based U-series dating and particularly interested in analytical and technical aspects of mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS, TIMS), speleothem based palaeoclimate research, radiocarbon calibration using speleothems, U-series based chronology for archaeological sites and artefacts, age modelling for speleothem chronologies, or U-series dating of other marine and terrestrial archives such as corals, lake sediments or travertine.
Before coming to Leipzig, Dirk worked in the UK and Spain. In October 2002 he joined the Geography Department at the University of Bristol and was responsible for the set up of MC-ICPMS U-series dating in the Bristol Isotope Group laboratory. Between 2009 and 2014 he set up and directed a new MC-ICPMS U-series dating laboratory within the Geochronology section of the CENIEH in Burgos (Spain). Since May 2014 he is working in the Department of Human Evolution at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. Current projects include, for example, U-series dating of calcite crusts covering cave art, chronologies for archaeological sites in Portugal, Spain and Germany or reconstructing the western Mediterranean palaeoclimate using stalagmites from Gibraltar, Portugal and Tunisia.

A PETA advertising campaign featuring shamed golfer Tiger Woods is off, at least for now.
"In light of conversations we have had with Mr. Woods' attorneys," PETA told TMZ.com earlier today, "plans to run our billboard are on hold at this time."
The outrageous new PETA billboard was set to go up near his Windemere home, ensuring the shame would stay on the minds of at least a few motorists.
"Too much sex can be a bad thing," the billboard reads in big black and white letters, "...for little tigers too."
Next to the words are a photo of the golfer with his hands on his hips and a rather unpleasant look on his face.
"Help keep your cats (and dogs) out of trouble: Always spay or neuter!" the tag line reads.
"It's a fun, tongue-in-cheek approach. We hope these billboard companies will understand," PETA's Virginia Fort told the Orlando Sentinel, adding that the ad is more about cats and dogs, not Tiger. "The world has been transfixed on Tiger's life after Thanksgiving. We're putting the focus where it needs to be."

Psalm 23 (The Message)
A David Psalm
1-3 God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing. You have bedded me down in lush meadows, you find me quiet pools to drink from. True to your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction.
4 Even when the way goes through Death Valley, I'm not afraid when you walk at my side. Your trusty shepherd's crook makes me feel secure.
5 You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of my enemies. You revive my drooping head; my cup brims with blessing.
6 Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I'm back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.

Dear Dad in Heaven,
I sit here and I ponder how very much
I'd like to talk to you today
There are so many things
That we didn't get to say
I know how much you care for me
And how much I care for you,
And each time that I think of you
I know you'll miss me too.
An angel came and called your name
And took you by the hand and said
Your place was ready in Heaven, far above . . .
And you had to leave behind, all those you dearly loved
You had so much to live for, you had so much to do . . .
It still seems impossible, that God was taking you.
And though your life on earth is past, in Heaven it starts anew
You'll live for all eternity, just as God has promised you.
And though you've walked through Heaven's gate
We are never far apart
For every time that I think of you,
You're right here, deep with-in my heart.

This is a week I'm happy is behind me. I'm grateful for the family time spent with my Mom and siblings and would never trade those bittersweet days for anything, since because of them our hearts can continue the healing process, but it's good to move thru them and not just camp out there.
This aft I'm springing Mom from the hospital and taking her to get her hair cut and then come here to have tea and a nice time together. We already decided yesterday that she was going to get dressed in Jeans and t-shirt for this outing....yes, for the very first time in Mom's life she owns a pair of Jeans...all us girls were shocked to hear that she wanted a pair...and she looks so Stylin' in them too :)
Enjoy your weekend :)

An Unending Love
My Sister took this picture. I could never express how I feel when I see this better than she did.
"My Dad hasn't worn his wedding ring for the entire time he was in the hospital so my Mom was wearing it on her middle finger, but upon his passing, she placed it on a chain to hang near to her heart. It's the ever lasting love .. even after death, my Mom's love for my Dad will be for eternity."

Nine Strong!
I can't imagine going thru our loss with one less sibling. Mom kept saying how much it meant to her to have ALL her children surrounding her. We all agree that Mom is an amazing strong woman and has been a trooper thru the entire week of intense emotions. We love you Mom!!

Family has started to Arrive.....
Moving through this weekend, plans are falling into place for preparation for Dad's Memorial Service and all the many details that comes along with that. The family from out-of-town have or are booking flights and my oldest Brother has already arrived.
One negative side of the Olympics is the difficulty of booking flights and in particular, booking a flight using Airmiles...bother!!
Today I spent time going thru and scanning old pics gleaned from the many photo albums I brought home from our parents home. I am VERY grateful that my Niece has volunteered to put together the Power Point presentation for the Memorial Service, as I see it's a huge job!! Never mind the fact that it would be a huge learning experience for that I am really not wanting to undertake this week :P

And here is the official website explaining this audacious day of the week.
"Wednesday is often referred to as "hump day" because of its position as the middle day of the work week. If the work week were a hill, then Wednesday would be the crest. It is all down hill from there. (Whether the down hill ride is a coast or a descent into a swamp is left to the individual.)"
Just an interesting fact :P
And here is yet another interpretation found in the Urban Dictionary :
"Wednesday, or the hump of the week ;
The absolute BEST day of the week, the day of maximum hope that maybe, you might make it out of this week alive. A particularly good hump day can last you the rest of the week, and by Doomday morning (Monday) you survive by anticipating hump day. Nothing goes wrong on hump day"

Heart of Winter Celebration
We had a Ladies Night Out tonight. The theme was Heart of Winter, so we decorated in silver and blue. And of course, food is a a must :) I love sampling the variety of dishes everyone brings...yummy!
We made the game prizes the centrepieces of a few tables.
And a door prize is always fun...lol
We had a scarf/hat/mitts "Chinese gift exchange" which is such a fun way to leave with a great gift. These two Sisters (the one on the left is my Sis-in-law) scored with hats, while I came away with a pretty red scarf.

A Perfect day for a Manicure :)
I had promised Mom to take her for a shower this morning. I had a
rough night and was up quite a bit so I didn't wake up until 10:00am,
much to my horror. I rushed off to the hospital. When I arrived the
nurse had prepped a bath for Mom so I joined them and got Mom all
dressed nice and her hair washed. After that I polished Mom's nails
and got the nurse to make sure the foot-doc comes to take care of
Mom's feet. She is suffering an ingrown toenail...again!!
It wasn't long until lunch arrived and I decided to leave, but Mom
wanted me to stay longer....poor Mom, she really does hate the
hospital some days.
Her two room mates LOVED Mom's nails. I think it would be special to
polish theirs as well.

How's This For Nostalgia?
All the girls had ugly gym uniforms?
It took three minutes for the TV to warm up?
Nobody owned a purebred dog?
When a quarter was a decent allowance?
You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny?
Your Mom wore nylons that came in two pieces?
You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, all for free, every time? And you didn't pay for air? And, you got trading stamps to boot?
Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box?
It was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents?
They threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed. . and they did it!
When a 57 Chevy was everyone's dream car...to cruise, peel out, lay rubber or watch submarine races, and people went steady?
No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the car, in the ignition, and the doors were never locked?
Lying on your back in the grass with your friends?
and saying things like, 'That cloud looks like a... '?
Playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game?
Stuff from the store came without safety caps and hermetic seals because no one had yet tried to poison a perfect stranger?
And with all our progress, don't you just wish, just once, you could slip back in time and savor the slower pace, and share it with the children of today.
When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited the student at home?
Basically we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! But we survived because their love was greater than the threat.
. .as well as summers filled with bike rides, Hula Hoops, and visits to the pool, and eating Kool-Aid powder with sugar.
Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say, 'Yeah, I remember that'?
Can you still remember Howdy Doody and The Peanut Gallery, the Lone Ranger, The Shadow knows, Nellie Bell, Roy and Dale, Trigger and Buttermilk.
How Many Of These Do You Remember?
Candy cigarettes
Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water inside.
Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles.
Coffee shops with Table Side Jukeboxes.
Blackjack, Clove and Teaberry chewing gum.
Home milk delivery in glass bottles with cardboard stoppers.
Newsreels before the movie.
Telephone numbers with a word prefix...( Yukon 2-601). Party lines.
Howdy Doody.
Hi-Fi's & 45 RPM records.
78 RPM records!
The Fort Apache Play Set.
Do You Remember a Time When..
Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'?
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, 'Do Over!'?
'Race issue' meant arguing about who ran the fastest?
Catching The Fireflies Could Happily Occupy An Entire Evening?
It wasn't odd to have two or three 'Best Friends'?
Having a Weapon in School meant being caught with a Slingshot?
Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute commercials for action figures?
'Oly-oly-oxen-free' made perfect sense?
Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles?
The Worst Embarrassment was being picked last for a team?
War was a card game?
Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle?
Taking drugs meant orange - flavored chewable aspirin?
Water balloons were the ultimate weapon?
If you can remember most or all of these, Then You Have Lived!!!!!!!

Yes, it's the annual day when Canada focuses on the concept of a groundhog coming out of its home in mid-winter to "predict" if spring is on its way in the northern hemisphere.Groundhog Day has attracted media attention over the years and its popularity continues to grow in Canada. A festival is held in the town of Wiarton in Bruce County, Ontario, to honor Groundhog Day. The town has its own groundhog, Wiarton Willie, which it shares with the nation. Locals, fans and news reporters come out to "hear Willie's prediction" early in the morning on February 2 each year. Other events at the festival include dances, contests, parades and pancake breakfasts. More about this annual event can be found here.

Grandma Test
This was forwarded to me and I thought it was too cute not to share it with all my Grandma friends out there :)
I was out walking with my little Grandson. He picked up something off the ground and started to put it in his mouth. I took the item away from him and I asked him not to do that.
'Why?' my Grandson asked.
'Because it's been on the ground; you don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs,' I replied.
At this point, my 4 year old Grandson looked at me with total admiration and asked,
' Grandma, how do you know all this stuff?? You are so smart.'
I was thinking quickly and said to him.. 'All Grandmas know this stuff. It's on the Grandma Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a Grandma."
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but he was evidently pondering this new information.
'Oh.....I get it!' he beamed, 'So if you don't pass the test you have to be the Grandpa".
'Exactly,' I replied with a big smile on my face.

Nancy Lanza, in a 2012 photo that a relative saved from Facebook.
NEWTOWN, Conn. -- The mother of the suspected Sandy Hook Elementary School gunman, herself slain at the outset of the murderous rampage, was an avid gun enthusiast who liked to take her sons to the shooting range to practice their marksmanship, a friend tells NBC News.
Dan Holmes, a local landscaper and a friend of Nancy Lanza, mother of 20-year-old suspected gunman Adam Lanza, said she also was a collector.
"She had a pretty extensive gun collection," Holmes said. "She was a collector, she was pretty proud of that. She always mentioned that she really loved the act of shooting."
Holmes recalled that she said she was able to "focus in" while shooting.
Federal officials tell NBC News that Adam Lanza took three weapons with him to the school – two pistols, a Glock and a Sig Sauer, and a Bushmaster .223-caliber semi-automatic assault-style rifle – all of which were registered to Nancy Lanza.
It is unclear whether all the guns were used in the attack. At a news briefing on Saturday, Chief Medical Examiner Dr. H. Wayne Carver II, who led the team that autopsied the victims, said, "All the (injuries) … I know of were caused by the rifle."
The Associated Press reported that authorities investigating the school shooting later recovered additional weapons -- a Henry repeating rifle, an Enfield rifle and a shotgun. It was not clear where those weapons were found.
Holmes, Nancy Lanza's friend, said the 52-year-old single mother also frequently talked about how she was worried about Adam.
Investigators and former classmates of Connecticut school shooter Adam Lanza say he was bright, but extremely shy and remote. NBC's Pete Williams reports.
Related content from NBCNews.com:

- Shooter was 'very nervous around people'
She talked about "how he was an unstable kid," he said. "She would talk about that. "She was very protective of him. I don't … think she ever got major help for him. She just tried to handle it on her own. It was something she was definitely disturbed about."
Meantime, federal agents visited a gun shooting range near Newtown, Conn., in an effort determine if Adam Lanza visited in the months before the attack, which could indicate he was planning or practicing for the bloodbath he carried out early Friday.
Dean Price, director of the Wooster Mountain Shooting Range near Newtown, told NBC News that he was visited by agents from the federal Bureau of Alcohol ,Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on Friday night and that they searched through his records for any evidence that the younger Lanza had signed in there in 2012. They also checked to see if he had used the name of his older brother, Ryan, Price said.
There was no indication that Adam Lanza had used the shooting range, which requires customers to sign in and show identification prior to using the facility, Price said.
Agents also have been checking local firearms dealers to see if Adam Lanza purchased or attempted to purchase weapons or ammunition prior to the shooting.
Law enforcement officials said members of the public reported they thought they saw Adam Lanza trying to buy a rifle at a Dick's Sporting Good store in Danbury, but investigators have yet to confirm that.
NBC News' Senior Investigative Correspondent Lisa Myers and Justice Correspondent Pete Williams contributed to this report.
