Brick Lane Brilliance
If you're like me and love fashion, living and breathing it, looking at other's styles to inspire your own then Brick Lane is the place to go. Just off of Old Spitalfield's Market the place is very… I'm not sure quite how to describe it, arty, edgy, vibey? I wanted to show the readers of our blog in a quick post what a great place this is before we finish our 2 weeks of fashion blogging.
Near Liverpool St Station you'll find Old Spitalfield's Market, home to all types of stalls everyday of the week, including homeware and furnishings to fashion buys and jewellery. This market is one of the oldest and largest and always creates great turnouts with regulars and tourists. Note: You can find pretty frilly and print dresses from just over £10, sometimes under!
Moving on, with its many vintage stores lining the 'lane', Shoreditch's Brick Lane is a goldmine for finding treasurable pieces. The only downside is the prices which tend to resemble the high-street, and here you're not buying into new pieces, you're buying into vintage finds and designs with re-used materials. Brick lane shops know how fashionable old styles are becoming and they can easily make their money from it.
Places like Rokit take a large pride on this road with two large outlets housing everything from the 1920's through to the 80's, I especially liked the sleeveless blouses which were around £18. All the clothes as you can tell are a little too expensive, Rokit are experts in vintage wear so finding a gem thats a couple of quid won't be hanging around here, generally you could find most things here on the high-street for a similar price, but it depends on whether you want pieces from the decade or a new item that only you have worn. Rokit also has an online store full with treasures.
For a chill out Wi-Fi zone check out Cafe 1001 during the day. Downstair's you'll see a sweet brightly lit cafe selling all types of delicacies, when you climb the stairs however, you'll enter a room of aroma, with plush floor cushions and sofas. This is a comfortable relaxation zone. You'll see many 'trendies' here as its that sort of vibe, you can pick up a few tealight candles or oil burners with scented smells to have beside you whilst you work or just fancy a break from all the vintage shopping. At night this cafe opens its door the back room, which is a club and is always very popular.
Lastly, you cannot walk away from Brick Lane without treating yourself to a beigel. This lane is famous for them and houses a few shops, where I think all are open 24 hours. I bought this chocolate spread bagel for 90p! I've definately been more than once 🙂
So hopefully you know a bit more about Brick Lane now, I just wanted to quickly update you on where to go if you haven't been before. Happy shopping (and eating)!

Having not had the time or inclination to work on the garden over the past week, I made a sortie into the back yard. The Kennedias have taken over. The side fence has disappeared under a mass of green. It'll take hours to get the plants under control. I should have planted triffids instead, They would have been easier to manage.
Not that the rampant Kennedias are ugly. I love the glossy bottle-green and bronze of the black coral pea (K. nigricans) and the velvety pale green of the K. retrorsa. But when they roll out of the garden bed like a breaker and threaten to swamp the rest of the yard, it's time to wield the secateurs with extreme prejudice.
I started on the black coral pea but succumbed to the heat and humidity after a few snips. Not before I'd uncovered a bunch of insects that had been hiding among the leaves.
Margarodidae is a family of scale insects with 40 or so species in Australia, The most well-known species, Icerya purchasi, has been exported (inadvertently) to other countries, where it has become a pest of cultivated plants. Most adult Icerya are hermaphrodites. They are able to fertilise their own eggs, in which case they always produce hermaphroditic young. If eggs are fertilised by one of the rare winged males, then some of the young are also male. The egg are laid in white quilted sacs, which remain attached to the adult. This gives the soecies its common name of cottony cushion scale.
The camouflage of this noctuid moth would be very effective on tree bark or among dead leaves but when the disturbed insect settled on living foliage, even I could spot it. The white blotches on the forewings were so bright that I thought they were either fluorescent or reflective. When I got the moth under the microscope, I saw they were silver with beaded edges. These photos don't show their real beauty. But they do show the extraordinary form of the wings.
There are wonderful animals in the garden.

The talented ladies' squash team at Edgbaston Priory Club beat all of the competition at the European Squash Club Championships in style at the weekend
On Saturday 17th September the Edgbaston Priory Club's Ladies Squash Team, sponsored by R.K Harrison Insurance, rose to victory at the European Championships which were held this year at the Pontefract Squash and Leisure Club. The best of the best were all there to battle it out in order to be crowned the winners from all over Europe, which included some of the world's best players.
The victorious ladies team, which includes three top 50 ranked players, qualified to take part in the finals in April by winning the National Club Championships. The fabulous five were made up of Nicolette Fernandes, Deon Saffery, Millie Tomlinson, Leonie Holt and Beth Parker. This is the club's first European title since 2010, following last year's disappointing knock out in the semi-finals, but clearly that only made the team fiercer and more determined.
Mike Edward, Head Squash Coach at the club said:
The ladies went into this year's European Club Championships as favourites but this can bring its own pressures. To dominate the tournament and to win in such style is a fantastic achievement for the team. Our win not only confirms our status as the top team in Europe, it also gives us automatic qualification for next year's European Club Championships taking place in Paderborn Germany and the campaign to retain the title starts now.
Congratulations to the ladies team and we hope you celebrate in style!

My plan was to put the petals on stacks of coins so they would have some dimension and shape. I was concerned that the ink from the paper would wipe off onto the petals - which it did on some - so I recommend doing this on a non-inked material. The starch calls for you to iron, but in this case that isn't an option because I didn't really want the petals to be flat. On first try I didn't saturate the fabric enough, so it didn't get very stiff. I ended up totally drenching all of them and leaving them to dry overnight. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they did dry and were stiff enough to hold shape, but were still a bit soft-looking.
Once I had the flowers how I liked them, I sewed about 5 stitches through them to make sure the petals wouldn't spin and shift. I completed them with a bit of the darker ribbon - sort of like leaves, and added the bling to the center. It was helpful to use tools like tweezers and the scissors. I am definitely the worlds worst glue gun aficionado... I generally come away with my fingers numb and burnt from the hot glue. Also, the stringy web-like glue that always seems to trail off from where I adhere the glue is always hanging around. I go crazy trying to get that fine strands off my hands or my project... the tweezers and scissors really help do the trick because it seems to really want to stick to my clumsy hands. Oh, the things we do for a project!
I mad the mistake of lining the placement of these flowers up with the top of the box, which I thought was how I had left it. Little did I know that Chad took the cover off and re-positioned it, so the back seam was not centered as I had originally planned! Not a huge deal, but he got a little razzing from me over that one ;)
I'm very happy with the over-all design of it. It's simple and sheek, but the flowers give it a bit of fun aspect :) Not bad for spending about $30 vs $100 they are going for on Etsy. Plus - its something else checked off my list so I'm definitely a happy girl! :)

My two - nearly three year old, was fascinated with the live lobsters in the tank at Red Lobster restaurant. We sat and watched them while we waited for our table. We talked about their pinchers and how they pinched things. I thought I was merely explaining a little about the world around him and I didn't think anything about it. Little did I know I was setting myself up for many panic attacks.
See, I was 8 1/2 months pregnant at the time. My husband and I were trying to prepare our son for big brotherhood. We knew there would be some adjustments and maybe a little jealousy, but thought we were prepared. At the hospital after our second son was born, his older brother was the perfect loving big brother. He was gentle and sweet. Then we came home.
He was still sweet, he just wasn't very gentle. That's where the lobsters come back into this story. Just a couple of days after coming home, He pinched his little brother. I don't remember my reaction, but it probably wasn't very calm. After I regained my composure, I asked him to tell me why he was pinching baby brother; he explained that he had a lobster in his hand. It all came back to me: the tank, the lobsters, the pinchers. How does a parent punish a lobster? That lobster in his hand didn't learn to stop pinching, until baby brother was about two weeks old. He got many little spats on his pinchers, and many lessons on being nice to everyone. Just when the lobster was tamed, the illusive imaginary friend came to play too.
Invisible Ryan, as I call him, isn't being as cooperative as the lobster. He's also being a little more rough. He likes to push on baby brother's head when he thinks I'm not looking. He likes to try to pick his brother up without help too. Invisible Ryan, in the form of our eldest child, gets to stand in the corner a lot. My son and I have sat down and explained to Invisible Ryan how to be a good big brother. That means being nice and gentle to his brother and telling him that he's sorry when he is mean.
only it was
that easy to explain to other people too. In Romans 12 verse 3, Paul
to the Romans to "Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly
in honor preferring, one another." That brotherly love is more
just gentleness and kindess. It is a genuine concern for the well-being
of each other. For right now, big brother, the lobster and Invisible
Ryan are
learning to be nicer to baby brother. We pray every night that God will
help them be good brothers. I know they will.

Garda Recruitment - Minister of State, Deputy Brian Hayes present
18 April 2013
Garda Recruitment
Thursday, 18 April 2013
Garda Recruitment
Senator Ivana Bacik: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Brian Hayes, and thank him for taking this matter. Like Senator Jillian van Turnhout's, my question is also directed to the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Alan Shatter, and I am disappointed he cannot be present.
I would like to know if consideration has been given to the circumstances where a change may be effected to the upper age limit of 35 years for recruitment to An Garda Síochána. I had not anticipated that the issue of recruitment to An Garda Síochána would be in the news today for other reasons. My specific purpose in asking this question is to focus on the upper age limit for recruitment. I have received a communication from a constituent who has been prevented from applying to join the Garda Síochána because of the upper age limit of 35 years. My constituent is 37 years old and the recruitment requirement was introduced when she was 32 and unable to apply. She is conscious that age is not an issue in other jurisdictions, including for the Swedish police, Strathclyde Police which is now part of Police Scotland and the Police Service of Northern Ireland, PSNI. I am told that the Scottish recruitment team was surprised to hear that there was an age bar in Ireland.
This matter has been the subject of questions in the Dáil; the most recent I can find is from Deputy Thomas P. Broughan on 12 July 2011. When he asked the Minister about the upper age limit, the Minister responded that he was giving consideration to the issue of the circumstances which might effect a change to the upper age limit for entry to An Garda Síochána. The Minister went on to outline the position and said recruitment was governed by statutory regulations, namely, the Garda Síochána Admission and Appointments Regulations 1988 and 2005. He also said the recruitment age had been considered as recently as 2004 when, on the recommendation of the Garda Commissioner, the maximum recruitment age was increased from 26 to 35 years, which, I acknowledge, was a substantial increase.
Given that a substantial and significant increase could be provided for in 2004, I wonder why the upper age limit of 35 years cannot be increased. The Minister's response to Deputy Thomas P. Broughan in 2011 was that consideration was being given to the issue. The Minister also gave as a reason for setting the upper age limit at 35 years the need to have regard to equality legislation. I cannot see where that is relevant, as I am sure equality legislation would pre-empt any arbitrary age limit being set. The current age limit appears to be somewhat arbitrary. While 35 years is perhaps a little more justifiable than 26 years, it is an age limit that might not be so objectively justifiable under equality legislation. The Minister gave three reasons for this in July 2011: the cost of training which I am not sure is valid; the need for recruits to serve for a sufficient period of time as full members of the service to recoup this cost, which is a more substantial reason; and the operational requirements of the service in terms of having an age profile appropriate to the physical demands placed on members in the course of their duty.
He then said:
Consideration is being given to changing the upper age limit, in limited circumstances, in a way which would be beneficial to An Garda Síochána. The Garda Síochána ... Regulations 2006 already allow the Public Appointments Service to give due recognition to any satisfactory service by a person as a reserve member of the Garda Síochána.
I think I am correct in saying there is no age limit for joining the Garda Reserve.
Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Deputy Brian Hayes): Yes.
Senator Ivana Bacik: I am right. There is no age bar for the Garda Reserve. It sometimes carries out front-line Garda work but it does not have full Garda powers. I simply ask, in the light of a direct request from a constituent, whether there have been updates since July 2011. Has the Minister given consideration to changing the upper age limit for entry? If the age limit was raised in 2004 by a significant amount, it should be possible to raise it again. The three arguments given by him do not seem to me to be sufficiently weighty to justify 37 years as being too old. The third issue of operational reasons is a matter of physical fitness which could be the subject of a very different test and perhaps does not require a blanket or rigid age limit. I am interested to hear the Minister of State's response.
Deputy Brian Hayes: I thank the Senator for raising the matter. I apologise on behalf of the Minister for Justice and Equality who is unable to attend.
As the Senator rightly stated, the age limit is set out in statutory regulations. She has already put those regulations, for the information of Senators, on the agenda of the House. She also acknowledged that there had been a substantial increase in the age limit from 26 years to 35 years.
I understand from the Minister that the upper age limit of 35 years was set following a comprehensive examination of the issues surrounding recruitment to the Garda Síochána. In particular, the assessment took account of developments in equality legislation and the Senator asked a question about it but I cannot sufficiently answer her at this point. She also outlined the criteria: the cost of training; the need for recruits to serve for a sufficient period as full-time members of the service to recoup the cost; and the operational requirements of the service. Having considered all the relevant matters, the Garda Commissioner recommended that the recruitment age be extended from its then limit of 26 years to a revised limit of 35 years. The Minister agreed with his recommendation which led to the introduction of revised regulations.
The Minister does not have any proposals to increase the recruitment age for entry to the Garda Síochána at this time. He believes that when recruitment begins again, as it inevitably must, there will be a sufficient pool of suitably qualified and eligible candidates who will be provided with excellent training at the Garda College in Templemore and on the job in Garda stations throughout the country.
The training programme was recently revised as a result of the recommendations contained in the report of the review group on training and development in the Garda Síochána. Following the publication of the report, a working group was set up to examine the current entry requirements and amend, if necessary, the Garda Síochána (Admissions and Appointments) Regulations to accommodate the recommended changes to the student-probationer training programme. The aim is to improve and realign recruitment training in line with best practice in order to meet the new challenges of a changing society. It is anticipated that the amended regulations will be finalised in the near future.
The Minister has asked me to point out that there is an ongoing civilianisation programme in the Garda Síochána. While the moratorium on recruitment in the public service still applies, the recruitment age for civilian staff is well in excess of 35 years of age.
Senator Ivana Bacik: I thank the Minister of State for his response but some of it reflects what was said in the Dáil in 2011. The updated part of his response refers to the report of the review on training and development in the Garda Síochána. I am not sure when the report was published. I am glad to hear that a working group was established, following publication, to examine the entry requirements and amend, if necessary, the regulations. Given that the regulations also set the minimum age limit I hope that, at the very least, some consideration will be given in the working out of changes to the regulations to increase the minimum age. I ask the Minister to State to convey my following comment to the Minister. One might anticipate that the working group would examine the minimum age in the course of generally examining the recommended changes to the regulations. It would be a good opportunity to do so and would be in keeping with the Minister's previous response that consideration was being given to the circumstances where an increase in the age limit could be affected.
Deputy Brian Hayes: The Senator made a helpful suggestion. There is a process under way to examine the amended regulations and I understand the working group is due to submit its report in the near future. It is important and opportune that the Senator raised the matter. I hope the question of limitation of age would be part and parcel of the work of the working group.
As the Senator mentioned, there are special circumstances, from time to time, where an individual might apply to be a member of the Garda Síochána. There should be some flexibility in that regard, particularly if people can bring expertise and specialist knowledge to the force. That would be a logical outcome of what we are trying to encourage in terms of members of the Garda Síochána. I shall convey the Senator's view to the Minister for Justice and Equality and ask him to consider the matter in the context of the working group.
Senator Ivana Bacik: I thank the Minister of State.

Many clients come to us with scrapbooks of design flourishes, concepts for the entryway, or the overarching style that they'd like to capture in their home. You'll find inspiration ad infinitum for interior design on Pinterest, and custom home designs allow for so much freedom. Whether it's about including the latest trends, like the double-sized shower or chef's kitchen, we also need to look at your new home from a practical perspective: what sort of lifestyle will it afford you.
The vast majority of new home constructions since the early 2000s have been scored with a star system by the Federal Government's Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS). It's not just token 'feelgoodery' – the rating matters for a few reasons.
Firstly, the higher your star rating, the lower the cost to heat and cool your home throughout the year. Secondly, a higher star rating is more appealing to buyers, should you choose to sell.
The sun isn't going anywhere (for at least a few billion years), so it makes sense to build with a solar passive design wherever possible. Even if it costs a little more now, the long-term savings can be enormous.
The orientation of your block (north-south vs east-west in length) will determine where you may want to install solar panels, windows, or a conservatory. In a coastal location, it may also play a factor in the materials you choose in custom home designs to stand up to the elements.
Energy efficiency has become another hallmark of a quality home and something we include as standard in our pre-designed homes.
When choosing between a single, double, or even triple storey custom home design, there are a few considerations. Firstly, can you get the council and community approval to build to that height, in keeping with regulations and neighbourly privacy? Will the orientation of your block mean a taller home will get you a view, but also cloak your garden in a grim, permanent shade?
A multi-storey house is an efficient way to maximise your space. However, if you're building a home you intend to grow old in, stairs may present a problem as you age. This may impact your home design's layout, determining what's included on the first floor; i.e. master bedroom, ensuite and kitchen.
You may even want to consider widening hallways or installing an elevator.
It's an obvious starting point to work out the number of bedrooms and number of bathrooms you'll require. But is that fourth bedroom really being used for a bed? Or is it perhaps going to be repurposed as a home office or reading room?
If a specialty room is your preference, with custom home designs, we have the opportunity to alter the layout, perhaps giving you more desk space by leaving out the walk-in robe, or including a built-in bookcase instead.
We always recommend designing a home that's adaptable and will grow with you and your family.
It's worth thinking: what's a change worth to you? Each alteration from a standard plan does tend to increase the cost. Once you know your budget for all the areas of your home (including things like a pool, gardens, paving and fixtures), you can then determine your customisation in order from must-haves to nice-to-haves and keep within budget.
These are just a few of the things you'll need to consider when embarking on a custom home design project. Chat to a Canny consultant about what sort of lifestyle you want to achieve and how your home design can help facilitate your dreams.
Our process involves an exclusive walkthrough of our latest concept home and discussion about your intentions. We'll talk about your expectations and goals, before conducting a site assessment to understand your block's specifications. Based on our years of knowledge, we're then well placed to discuss how our custom home designs will work on your block.

How to choose an industrial CNC
We should start the selection of the right machine tool that will meet the user's expectations by defining its purpose. Will it be used for occasional, individual hobby products? Or should it be an industrial one whose task will be to contribute to the company's profit?
If we are talking about the professional machine, then important parameters to be taken into account are: frame rigidity and precision of its execution, the size of the working area, the quality of components, technical support in the implementation and the availability of the service. All these elements affect the smooth operation and efficiency as well as accuracy of production.
What is the best type of construction for an industrial CNC?
Once we decide, it is important to remember that the best frames are made of graphite or steel. Only these materials are characterized by the right vibration absorption coefficients (rigidity) and have very small thermal expansion and deformation properties during long-term loads. Additionally, if they constitute a single monolithic structure and are machined from "one clamping", as a result they guarantee the machine precision and accuracy of products manufactured – without any visible shifts. This also contributes to long-term geometric correctness.
The size of the workpiece determines the dimensions of a work table…
Another important step is to choose the working area – "x", "y" i.e. the size of the table on which we will machine the material. For example, all standard PLEXI, PCV material sheets occur in the dimensions of 2.05 m/3.05 m and wood-based of 2.07m/2.80m. Thus, the most effective option is the working area with dimensions of 3.1m/2.1m (3100mm/2100mm). Then there is no need for additional work associated with trimming the board. We must also remember to take into account the height – "z" of the product we will manufacture. Also other types of tables can be selected which affect the method of fixing of the material. It may be T-grooved, vacuum or other type for a special purpose.
Components – the heart of the machine tool…
Another important feature are components. As in the case of the body, they have a huge impact on efficiency, accuracy and the long productive use of the machine. Selection of high quality components ensures greater reliability. While the use of parts from reputable companies guarantees their continued availability. An important thing to be decided on is the spindle best suited to our needs.
How to select the spindle that meets production conditions?
Matching parameters of the milling head (power and speed) is crucial for the service life, performance and precision of work and the selection of a particular material for production. The speed of majority of professional spindles is in the range form 12.000 to 40.000 RPM. It is controlled by a frequency converter that allows you to change the speed in a very wide range. High speed can be used in the case of aluminium, wood, composite materials, laminates etc., and low ranges are used for machining of steel, in particular stainless steel, and thermoplastics. In the case of head power, the primary determinant that should be considered is the maximum diameter of cutters we want to use and materials machined with them. For the processing of aluminium, plastics, wood, laminates with milling cutters to 5 mm a spindle of 1.1kW 24.000 rev/min is sufficient, with milling cutters to 8mm – 1kW, to 12mm – 3.3kW, to 16mm – 5.6kW. For steel we should choose a spindle with a lower speed of 15.000 to 18.000 RPM and power of 3.3kW to 10mm, 5.6kW to 12mm, 7kW to 16mm, 10kW to 20mm. However, we should remember that if we want to drill in a steel with a drill of 8mm at 2000 RPM with a spindle of 7kW 18.000 RPM, then we may choose only 0.7kW. It is related to the fact that the spindle is controlled by the inductive inverter so when we reduce the speed at the same time we reduce proportionally its motor voltage, i.e. its power. Therefore, we must always choose a more powerful spindle.
Accessories for improving the production…
At the end it is time to decide on additional accessories improving the production, such as: tool height sensor, cooling system, dedusting system, or a system of automatic exchange of tools, or others according to the production needs.
Representatives of the company should be experts…
When we think what individual parameters will suit our needs in terms of production and we have little knowledge of CNC technology, we may always take advantage of assistance of representatives of a company that offers such devices. They will be pleased to help match individual features to your expectations. They should also be willing to help with logistics and provide support in the implementation of your machine and subsequently in its use.
Service must be always at hand…
When continuous production and confidence about the use of the machine are important for us, it is essential that the service is available for 24 hours/7 days a week. The least likely things happen when we do not expect them. For example, a forklift operator drives into a machine tool gate when the largest order is to be done. The experience of the service team is also important. Its efficiency determines the speed of removing any defects.
If you need help setting up your milling machine, engraving machine, cutter, laser or thermoforming machine, remember that our representatives will be happy to help you in finding the right set for you.

Just like the leaking tap, the dripping shower is always intolerable, drives every homeowner crazy. Not only the problem shower leads to wastage of water, also keep the bathing space ever-lastingly wet. This indeed proves to be quite dangerous for kids and elders who frequently visit the washroom. Thus, emphasise the significance of calling a leaking shower repair in Gold Coast to fix the shower.
But, if you don't have the luxury to avail the expertise of a professional repair flock then getting your hands on primitive plumbing skills is necessary. For instance, if it happens to be during the odd hours of the day then it's easier to cope up with those drastic circumstances. That's why, here in this post, we have put forth the simplest do-it-yourself approach to repair the shower in no time:
How to Begin with the Repair Work?
First of all, look for the carriage style faucet; you need to replace this important segment of the shower with a new one. Here, in this compelling guide on how to repair a dripping shower by self, we centre on fixing a cartridge-style faucet, which in most scenarios is the root cause of the problem.
The cartridge valves operate when the slides of cartridges move in and out and have a single handle. However, don't confuse this cartridge-style faucet with a traditional one that has a dome-shaped casing underneath the handle. Here, we won't be explaining the cartridge of two faucet style cartridge, which comes in two versions, one is the ceramic disc valve, while the other one is the stem-type valve.
Step 1:
Remove the Handle Cap- Let's Begin
First and foremost, turn off the water supply to the bathroom or to that particular problem shower. Once, you are done with it, pry off the handle cap, using a knife, a pocket size one. As this will expose the internal handle screw. In case, the handle is not coming out, you can heat it to make the job simpler or if you have a special handle puller, then it's more than sufficient. Or, you can ask someone, a neighbour, who has a habit of maintaining a plumbing kit for any sort of emergency.
Step 2:
Pull the Cartridge- Let's Pull
Now, pull the cartridge, since different brands have their own unique way of securing the cartridge to the faucet, there is no one blanket approach here. For this, you need to carefully take a look at the structure of the shower head and makes a spontaneous decision, You can also take the help of Google to know the trick to pull the particular cartridge.
Step 3:
Install the New Cartridge-Job Done
Last, but not the least, turn the hex screw using your hand until it hit the bottom. You can easily find an identical replacement cartridge from a local plumbing store or order online if you can wait.
Wrapping up, all the above techniques are fine, but for a permanent solution to your problem, only a specialist plumber in Liverpool having experience fixing leaking showers and the right set of tools can do the job with utter impeccability.

Business leaders, in the West Midlands, are confident that interest rates will remain at 4.75 today, as the Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee tries not to rock the boat during the General Election campaign.
And there is concern that with the troubles of the car industry and the threat to MG Rover a rise is the last thing the region needs.
Many pundits think rates will go up, but not until the summer.
Jerry Blackett, policy director at Birmingham Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said: "It would be somewhat provocative of the MPC to decide that a rise of a quarter to five cent was in order while politicians are busy telling us how they will keep down costs. And that's good news for business. Steady as you are is a much better scenario for companies than a roller-coaster ride of everchanging rates. There is much to be anxious about in the West Midlands economy at the moment, and increasing interest-rates will not help to alleviate that situation one little bit."
Jane Jackson, Solihull Chamber director, said: "It will be interesting to see, rather like Prince Charles' wedding, whether the MPC changes the date of its next announcement on interest rates. At the moment, it is scheduled for the same day as the General Election - May 5.
"With a slowdown in consumer spending and house-price rises, the MPC would seem to have resolved the issues it most thought would drive up inflation. Now it should concentrate on helping business to be more competitive in overseas markets."
Peter Mathews, president of Midlands World Trade Forum, said: "The MPC has to take into account that not only do the current interest rates make for an uncompetitive environment, in which, to do business, but that the sky-high oil prices are having an adverse effect on everything we do.
"There has to be a hint of realism in the MPC's thinking. British businesses cannot go on fighting for new markets with one hand tied behind its back."
Lobby group Birmingham Forward is also hoping the MPC will hold interest rates steady.
Ronnie Bowker, managing partner at accountants Ernst & Young and board member of Birmingham Forward, said: "The MPC has a track record of keeping interest rates steady during periods of political uncertainty. Before the Budget we saw no change and we are hoping this remains the case in the run-up to the General Election.
"Interest rates were last raised in August 2004, eight months ago. Against a backdrop of soaring oil-prices and pressure on commodities like steel, this has been really good news for local businesses.
"In the Midlands, we are all watching the progress of MG Rover's deal with the Chinese with bated breath.
"If this fails, there will be a significant impact in the region, with companies throughout the supply chain being affected. A hike in interest rates will only have a negative impact and so is another strong argument in our case for keeping them static.
"But, as we now know the MPC's decision last month was not unanimous, supporting the view that the economic messages are a little mixed. Consumer debt is still high and so inflation continues to be a threat. In contrast though, many retailers are suffering as the spending hoped for over Easter does not seem to have materialised. Add to this the fact that house prices are still stagnant or dropping and it is clear there are viable arguments for both a rise or a drop.
"With this complex economic position and as the election campaigns get fully underway, it is reassuring that control of interest rates rests with the MPC, not the politicians asking for our votes.
"The best thing for Birmingham businesses is for there to be no change in interest rates"

Music Class
by Randy Chambers, 2004-08-02
"Hit the tambourine, Billy!" Lisa's frustration rode atop her crinkled brow.
"Hit it!" she again demanded. Billy's concentration paid no heed to Lisa's angry
shrills. His tongue protruded, and wiggled about as if seeking--in vain attempt--to set
the cadence for his rhythmically challenged hands.
Billy was a hopeless case--Lisa was sure of that. He wouldnt listen, he completely
ignored her, and he didnt even seem to care. He just stood there, whacking away with
that flyswatter he called a tambourine. Lisa lifted her eyes and looked around at the rest
of the music class. Most were just like Billy. Why should she even bother? Why should she
even try? She had all she could take! She crossed her arms furiously and grimaced! I
hate you all!
Now, Lisa
Mrs. Martin wore many hats: teacher, playground monitor
weather forecaster
had already been observing the brewing storm from across the room and with timely stealth
made her way to Lisa to batten down the hatches before the big one blew.
Now lets pick up our wooden blocks and play our song with the other
Let someone else play the woodblocks. I am so very much better with the
Mrs. Martin picked up the woodblocks and held them out toward Lisa. Here, Lisa.
Itll be fun. Lisa scowled at Mrs. Martin, looked down at the woodblocks and
begrudgingly took them from her teachers hand. She slapped the blocks together once
in protest then folded her arms and glared. Mrs. Martin turned and walked back to front
and center of the classroom.
Tap, tap, tap. The baton smacked against the steel, black music stand, then raised high
into the air anticipating the first downbeat. Ready? Mrs. Martin raised the
question above the clatter of the class, and waited all eyes to turn and fix on her. A
moment passed, then all was still. With swift agility the baton came down to strike the
silence and birth a rippled wake of varied pitch. Mrs. Martin smiled as though they all
struck chord in sync, and she received their mislaid strikes and blows as though a
childs homemade gift.
Before long, all the whistles, thumps, thuds, and whines clamored together into an
indistinguishable clump. Mrs. Martin continued waving her batonup and downslow
and steady.
Mrs. Martin looked over at Lisa. Lisa hadnt moved. Her arms still folded, she pouted
with every part of her body. She stopped conducting and moved toward Lisa. The class
continued playing without hesitation.
Lisa, whats wrong?
We sound awful!
Mrs. Martin thought for a second, and then leaned closer and whispered in Lisas ear.
Lisas expression perked and gleamed. Mrs. Martin smiled and handed the baton to
Lisa, and walked with Lisa to the podium.
Class, Lisa is going to conduct for us for a little while.
The noise tapered then faded, awaiting the batons approval to continue.
Ready? Lisa authoritatively queried. She tapped the stand and with one
continual motion began pumping the baton. The class joined in.
Lisas face beamed. The other musicians returned to sternly focusing on their own
parts to play. Mrs. Martin stepped back to listen and watch. In all the clamoring chaos,
there was a melodious symphony of sorts. The clanging, clopping, clapping, tom-tom thud
and finger snapping; popping, clucking, and off key plucking sent shivers from ear to
spine. And yet, the little hands beating, and little arms flailing gave eye to heart
endearing sight of angels wings in splendid flight. For to the eye that sees, there
was the Makers mark of pleasant approval upon such a glorious display. And in that
precious moment in time, within the heart of this particular music class teacher, there
grew a deeper understanding of the Masters love for all the little children of the
At end of class, the students scooted and scraped their metal chairs, hurried toward the
instrument cabinet and laid their instruments to restas it were. They hurried out,
with their guest conductor waiting until last to leave. Lisa stopped at the door where
Mrs. Martin stood. Still beaming, Lisa looked up at her teacher.
Mrs. Martin! Didnt we sound great today?
Yes, Lisa. It was something wasnt it?
Left alone in the quiet, music room, Mrs. Martin began straightening. The childrens
music resonated in her heart, and lifted to her lips.
Jesus loves the little children

Angel Paintball Gun
When should I buy an Angel paintball gun?
Should you have a paintball playing style that involves a lot of running around and crouching then you will like the high-end line of paintball guns by Angel, which have been designed especially for performance. There is a large selection of Angel products available, so our advice to you is to browse the internet to get the best one you can.
The Angel speed gun is designed to shoot balls as quickly as possible, in fact you can fire them at about 30 balls per second of use and this can work harmoniously with the loader. There are many different battle plans available in paintball, and if yours calls for a lot of ambushing of the enemy then the Angel speed is worth a look. There is a popular strategy used by experts called the sprint-and-crouch. This requires a very reliable weapon that will not jam up and fires very quickly. The Angel Speed is designed to work harmoniously with the paintball loader.
Angel paintball equipment is not usefully for the faint-hearted, and you should find out what your won style of play is before choosing one. For instance, there is a professional calibre paintball marker available called the Angel 4. This paintball gun features the latest technology, will not jam and weighs less than 2.5 pounds. Should you have an aggressive style of play then you would have trouble finding a better weapon. It comes equipped with just about every piece of technology you would want, and is very easy to maintain with the help of the readouts that it provides on a variety of factors such as the current pressure reading.
We should point out though that we do not feel that Angel products are for all types of paintball players. Should you be a beginner, you will have better luck buying brand names like Brass Eagle and Spyder who concentrate on making equipment for the new player instead of experienced ones. There are also companies who cater for those who like to hide out in the bushes and pick their shots carefully - known as "snipers". This is something that would be better served by the Impulse gun from Smart Parts.
But when you have decided that you want to take your sport to the nest level then you could do a lot worse than check out the Angel paintball marker. They make their weapons with performance in mind, not for the beginner so this is brand that is worth a look, from the lightweight Angel 4 to the Angel Speed. At the top level, very little things can make all the difference, and you may find that Angel paintball guns offer those little things just when you need them.

After running one of the greatest propaganda movements outside of Nazi Germany there is still great unrest in the MSM. Apparently even the election of their anointed one has done little to quell their lunacy. I suppose so long as President Bush remains at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue they'll continue to bay at the moon and froth at the mouth. Take Chris Matthews who recently called for President Bush to resign early so Obama can get a head start on his presidency. I guess things like civility, precedent, and even the Constitution can be steam rolled in their anticipation for the Obama inauguration.
Even good liberal lunes like Nancy Pelosi aren't immune to the Obama express. Detroit Free Press writer Rochelle Riley claims that the only way the "ineffective" Pelosi can redeem herself by starting immediate impeachment proceedings after all much of the groundwork has already been laid by Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich "the bravest member of Congress" If not for the sake of the economy opines Riley then for the pardons that would be issued by Bush. Riley conveniently forgets the truly criminal pardons of Frank Rich, the 16 members of the terrorist FALN group, and other cronies of the Clinton Administration ironically overseen by Obama pick for Attorney General Eric Holder. It's a pretty rabid piece all that's missing really is the obligatory picture of Bush with horns coming out of his head.
The fantasy is taken one step further by New york Times writer Gail Collins dreams of both Bush and Cheney stepping down to allow for, deep breath, President Pelosi to take over until January 20. Collins gushes "Obviously, she'd defer to her party's incoming chief executive, and Barack Obama could begin governing. As a bonus, the Pelosi presidency would put a woman in the White House this year after all." The only bright spot in this scenario for me would seeing Hillary Clinton's head exploding as Pelosi took the Oath of Office (Seriously I'm surprised she managed to campaigne even half heartedly for Obama)
Collins continues "Can I see a show of hands? How many people want George W. out and Barack in? A great many Americans have been counting the days all year on their 2008 George W. Bush Out of Office Countdown calendars." This is actually an amusing quote if you picture Collins saying it to a room full of stuffed animals as nice men in white coats look on. It also goes to show how few people are reading the NYT (shock). The Bush calanders really don't surprise me that much. After all since liberals don't celebrate Christmas they have to have something to look forward to in their sad dreary lives.

No longer goblin, Dai is thrust back into human life. Though he is a far cry from the human he used to be. Amanda might be able to help him reclaim some of his humanity by showing him how to love.
Dai is a powerful character. And not only with his magical powers, which are very impressive. It is interesting to see how he learns to move about his new life and incorporate all of the magical abilities he suddenly has. After years upon years of study they finally come to the surface now that he is human again. Each lesson learned written upon his skin, what girl can resist a potential bad boy covered in tattoos?
Amanda has placed herself second for years and her daughter first. Which is as it should be, but she takes it further since she is an only parent in charge of a child with a life threatening illness. She needs a strong man to be able to take some of her stress, and one who can love her as much as she will love him. Dai is all of that heaped into a package that is tempting and electrifying.
A great addition to the Shadowlands series. A little slow, at least compared to Roan's story. You might be wishing Dai will make a decision, or blow up something big, or anything. But he has his own personal demons to work through, and Amanda has her hurdles to get over. All in all a fun read and one that sets you up to be wishing for the next book.

Mark Zuckerberg to host Glenn Beck at Facebook to discuss trending controversy
Mark Zuckerberg invited prominent conservative media figures, including Glenn Beck and Dana Perino, to a meeting at Facebook's headquarters this week.
The meeting is aimed at addressing the alleged suppression of conservative news stories in Facebook's "trending" stories section. The tech blog Gizmodo published the anonymously sourced claims on Monday. Facebook says it is investigating and that it has found no evidence to back up the claims.
Last Thursday, Zuckerberg said in a blog post that he would invite "leading conservatives and people from across the political spectrum" to talk with him about the controversy.
And those invitations have now started to go out. Beck wrote on Facebook early Sunday morning that "Mark wanted to meet with 8 or ten of us to explain what happened and assure us that it won't happen again."
Beck said in his Facebook post that he plans to attend. Referring to Zuckerberg, he said, "It would be interesting to look him in the eye as he explains and a win for all voices if we can come to a place of real trust with this powerful tool."
A Facebook spokesman confirmed invitations have also been sent to Perino, a Fox News host and former Bush administration press secretary, and Zac Moffatt, co-founder of tech firm Targeted Victory and former digital director for Mitt Romney.
Wednesday's meeting is said to be the first of several such conversations — signaling that Facebook is well aware of the risk to its reputation that comes from the whiff of bias.

Gerald Yorioka, MD, SCMS President
Earlier this year the Trump Health Plan was released without much coverage. On Nov. 10 the Title XIX Advisory Committee for Washington State Medicaid funding met, as scheduled, and the questions began of what would things look like in the near future after "Repeal and Replace?"
The original Trump plan did not call for eliminating Medicaid, but the proposal was to transfer federal funding via a Block Grant. Presumably this will result in a more predictable and defined cost burden. Within a few days after the election, there is indication from the Trump leaders that the "pre-existing clause" and family coverage up to age 26 may be retained elements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). These are features of private insurance, not Medicaid. They are required of private plans that are subsidized by the ACA.
Another prominent feature of the Trump Plan is purchase of private insurance across state lines. It is possible that the free market could solve the pre-existing clause and age cutoff needs, as out-of-state plans that have those features could compete for selection without a coercive mandate.
The proposal to enhance medical savings accounts goes further to encourage family-based medical savings pools that encourages family assets to be pooled and passed on to the next generation for medical needs.
Medical insurance is not discarded or neglected under the Trump plan, as health insurance premiums become deductible to the individual, and is not weighted to the employer as it is now. This opens to door for more permanent personal health insurance that is portable from job to job.
The seven point plan fits on one page.

|1 Pkg
|Dry cured pepperoni
|4 oz
|Mozzarella cheese
|4 oz
|Cheddar cheese
Make the inner bacon weave: make a 5x6 slice weave and cook in the oven at 400°F for 10 mins (should be cooked but not quite crispy).
Roll the sausage into a rectangle on plastic wrap. Add some oregano. Add a layer of pepperoni. Remove your bacon from the oven and add the bacon weave on top of the pepperoni. Add your cheese slices. Then, using the plastic wrap, roll it all up as tightly as possible. Wrap it tightly in the plastic wrap and put it in the freezer.
Make the outer bacon weave: make a 7x7 slice weave on plastic wrap. Remove the log from the freezer and roll it diagonally, again using the plastic wrap. Make it tight, put on a wired rack, and cook at 400°F for approx 1 hour.
Slice and enjoy!

Paul Virilio (b. 1932) trained at the École des Métiers d'Art, specializing in stained-glass art work, and subsequently worked alongside Henri Matisse and Georges Braque. He studied phenomenology with Maurice Merleau-Ponty at the Sorbonne and in 1958 conducted a phenomenological inquiry into military space. In 1963, he began collaborating with the architect Claude Parent and formed the 'Architecture Principe' group. The pair went on to build the Saint-Bernadette du Banlay church at Nevers. After the May 1968 uprising in Paris, Virilio was appointed a professor by the students at the École Spéciale d'Architecture. In 1975, he co-organized the Bunker Archéologie exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, a collection of texts and images relating to the 'Atlantic Wall'. With L'Insécurité du territoire (1976) and Vitesse et Politique (1977), he began the publication of a series of remarkable essays that have had a major influence on French social thinking. He retired from full-time teaching in 1998 and moved to La Rochelle. In recent years, he has concentrated on writing, on social and political activism, and on mounting high-profile exhibitions (Unknown Quantity, 2003, and Native Land, 2009, at the Fondation Cartier in Paris).

In real numbers that means 263,000 children in Kentucky and 342,000 children in Indiana are impoverished meaning that if they live in a household with two kids and two adults, the annual income is $22,113. If you are reading this, pause for a minute and think about trying to support a family of four on $425.25 a week.
For many such children, poverty will have a profoundly adverse impact on their educational attainment, health, well-being and their status as adults. For child, it's a terrible disadvantage.
"It touches every aspect of someone's life and they have no control over it," said Adrienne Bush, interim director of Hazard-Perry County Community Ministries, which operates the Hazard child care center.
Poor children are likely to have more learning and developmental delays. They may have more health problems, including dental decay that can cause pain and infection. They are more likely to move frequently, disrupting school and neighborhood connections. Many become homeless.
And it's not limited to Appalachia or rural Kentucky.
St. Vincent de Paul in Louisville, a private social service center, for the fourth year is offering a summer enrichment program for poor children. Teachers have discovered the children, ages 6-12, need educational help but just as importantly, help developing missing social skills and ways to cope with unusual levels of stress and anxiety.
"They are more fearful," said spokeswoman Linda Romine. "They worry— they worry about everything."
In her Perry County region, the problems are particularly serious, Ms. Bush said. About 30 percent of families are below the poverty line and about half the 100 children who attend the preschool are low-income. This brings a host of obstacles.
Those who work with poor families acknowledge the difficulties of changing those circumstances particularly in the current economic climate and in families where one generation after another is poor.
"It is an overwhelming dilemma, an issue across the state," said Ann Perkins, who runs Safe Harbor, a domestic violence shelter in Ashland. "The generational poverty is such a hard nut to crack."
Still, Ms. Perkins and others like her keep trying. Now more than ever, officials and the community need to join the effort to find solutions and reduce the scourge of poverty that limits the future for an increasing number of children.

The man I've dated for five months decided to name it off for no motive on his birthday, final month, and determined to hang around with women!!! He was my third. I had nobody to speak to as a result of I made my relationship private and I wished to surprise my mother or father. I needed him back ASAP, I don't see myself loving another person. I was able to do anything simply to spend my entire life with him.
In 2010, I employed a business coach, which was the smartest transfer I ever made. My business coach informed me that I needed to determine if I wanted to work on the enterprise or within the business. So I started hiring better workers, and I walked away from engaged on automobiles to begin managing processes, procedures, and marketing. Right now, I very seldom ever actually go out and work on a car. It'd should be something that my employees is having difficulties with and seeking my steering. My ardour is fixing vehicles, however I needed to study to run a worthwhile business and do it the proper way.
