With Family Volunteer Day approaching on November 22nd, volunteers and organizations around the country are gearing up for hundreds of meaningful opportunities to make a difference. From park cleanups to mural painting and youth garden installations, the annual day of service will bring families together in projects that will make a lasting impact. In Broward County, HandsOn Broward will team up with 50 family volunteers to revitalize Cresthaven Elementary School in Pompano Beach. Earlier this week, we caught up with one of the families who will be joining the effort, to get their thoughts on the upcoming day of service.
The Howard Family first came to HandsOn Broward through the 'Give a Day, Get a Day' challenge – another innovative volunteering initiative brought to us by the fine folks at Disney – and they haven't stopped volunteering together since. Through their work with HandsOn Broward and their church & school, Mom Patty, Dad Tim and kids Sydney and Jonathan have spent over 7,000 combined hours volunteering for their community. For their service, they were honored by the Points of Light Institute with the Daily Point of Light Award on November 26, 2013. We sat down with the Howards to talk about what serving together means to them and why they feel others should join them in making a difference on Family Volunteer Day.
When asked why she feels it is important to volunteer with her family, Patty explains that volunteering promotes acceptance of all and being an active contributor to your community. "It puts life in perspective," she said. "When the kids don't get everything they want, they are grateful for what they do get because they've witnessed firsthand others with less. In turn, it has reinforced in Tim & me the importance of quality time over material things. Our memories of volunteering together or vacationing together have outweighed any material gift we have given our kids."
Tim Howard tells us that community service has changed his family members' lives, each for different reasons. "It has given my kids an opportunity to see and experience many aspects of life that regular kids would never have an opportunity to do," he explained. "For my wife, it has given her life a purpose – fulfilling a need to help anyone with a need. In my case, it has opened my eyes to what a difference a few people can make in the lives of many – and for little to no money. Volunteering has kept us together as a family, stronger than it could ever be without it."
Each year, the Howards participate in the Boys and Girls Club 'Adopt a Family' program at Christmas time, helping the kids have a Christmas when they otherwise may not. The family receives a wish list from the kids – mainly consisting of underwear, clothes, shoes and a few fun items. "When most kids are asking for X-Boxes, PlayStations, iPhones and other expensive items, these kids are asking for basic necessities," Tim says. "Together we shop for the kids, wrap the gifts, and even are able to deliver to the family. To see the kids' faces when they receive the gifts – and the appreciation from their parents – makes it all worth it."
And it's not just the parents who appreciate the benefits that volunteering can bring. Kids Sydney and Jonathan know full well the impact that service can have on the lives of others. "I think it is important for families to volunteer together because it's important to give back to the community and to help others," said Sydney, 14. "Another reason I think it is important is because it makes you realize how grateful and fortunate you are for the things in your life. Volunteering as a family puts the idea of volunteering into a child's mind at a young age so they will continue to volunteer throughout their life."
Sydney's brother Jonathan, 16, says that volunteering has helped him learn new skills like leadership, communication, teamwork, versatility, and planning. "It is also bonding time for the family, a way to come together," he said. "It shows other people how strong a family is together and not just individually."
Whatever your motivation for volunteering, National Family Volunteer Day provides the perfect opportunity for family members to come together to make a difference. Powered by generationOn and Disney Friends for Change, the day will gather family members from all walks of life to come together in support of their communities. Interested families can join the impact by visiting www.generationOn.com/fvd to select a project in your neighborhood. And to top it off, generationOn is offering a chance to win a prize pack if you head back to the site after your project and tell us how it went! By sharing your stories, families will be entered to win 1 of 20 generationOn prize packs, that include dinner and a night at the movies!

Now that they are free of their Lib Dem coalition colleagues, the true nature of the Tory government has been exposed – a blitz on struggling parents and their children.
Nowhere is that more clear than the threat of a £5bn reduction to child tax credits that could see 3.7 million working families lose an average of £1,400 a year in income.
In the north east the number of families with children set to be clobbered is 178,600, or 56 per cent of the overall population, compared with the 51 per cent UK average.
Typically, the Tories refuse to spell out exactly who will be hardest hit, adding to the insecurity felt by working families.
David Cameron argues that if tax credits are cut, wages will automatically rise to compensate workers.
Poppycock. That will not happen in this era of 'fat cat' bonuses for those at the top, along with pay freezes, zero hours contracts, and benefit cuts for the rest.
Labour wants to see a higher wage economy, where people are less reliant on tax credits to make ends meet, as well as action on low pay and high rents, which are the real drivers of rising social security spending.
The government has no plans to ensure that working families in this country don't lose out from its tax credit cuts.
Instead of tackling low pay, the Conservatives are attacking the low-paid.

Man, what a way to round out a year and ring in a new one, with the loss of so many talented artists. Jeez. I won't even attempt comprehensive bios for these people; if you know them, you already know what a sad thing it is; each of them (even Don & Gerry) leaving the stage before their time. If you don't know them, get on Google and find out, and seek out the music – because each of these artists laid down some impressive work. From the avant-garde to classic-rock radio, in no particular order, let's raise our glasses to the following cool cats…
Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson – musician/sound maker/designer/video director, best known as one quarter of industrial music pioneers Throbbing Gristle, the infamous 'wreckers of civilisation'; then going on to play with Psychic TV; then going on to form Coil; and who was also a member of Hipgnosis, the legendary design group responsible for the iconic album covers for many 70s bands (most notably prog kings Pink Floyd); if that wasn't enough, he also directed countless videos for a wide variety of artists from Nine Inch Nails to Hanson.
Passed away on 25th November 2010, aged 55.
Mick Karn – multi-instrumentalist/songwriter, primarily known as the bass player of influential New Wave/Post-Punk/Synth-pop band Japan (their 1979 album Quiet Life, is one of my favourite albums), but he would also go on to release solo albums, form other groups, and guest star his signature fretless sound on a number of recordings (dig his playing on Kate Bush's The Sensual World).
Passed away on 4th January 2011, aged 52.
Steve Prestwich – drummer/songwriter with 'Oz Rock' legends Cold Chisel, and responsible for their hits "When the War is Over" and "Forever Now" (and co-writing "Flame Trees" with Don Walker). A creative rock-solid drummer who brought a class and nuance to a uniquely Australian band that could effortlessly rock-your-socks-off and tug-the-heart-strings in equal measure.
Passed away on 16th January 2011, aged 56.
Trish Keenan – singer/songwriter with Broadcast, who came to the attention of Warp Records in the mid-90s, releasing three epic albums and a swag of EPs, winning over a devoted fan base with their sensual brew of lo-fi electronica, 60s psychedelia and rhythmic sound experimentalism, all of it laced with Keenan's dreamy vocal melodies.
Passed away on 14th January 2011, aged 42.
Don Van Vliet – singer/songwriter/poet/visual artist, aka Captain Beefheart, the man behind the fabled growl that would inspire a legion of experimental punk rockers and intrepid free-jazz explorers with his seminal wild & woolly recordings with The Magic Band. A genre unto himself. One of the giants.
Passed away on December 17th 2010, aged 69.
Gerry Rafferty – who doesn't dig the sax and guitar solo in "Baker Street"?…classic stuff. And if you're my age, you might remember your Dad playing it constantly in the car back in the late 70s. That stuff gets in your blood.
Passed away on January 4th 2011, aged 63.

Happy Father's Day! Today, I'm sharing a page that I had up on the Scrapbook Circle Blog last Sunday.
Best Dad Evah
Along with June's Now or Never kit, I used a scrap piece of paper from the Dear Lizzy Happy Place 6x6 pad found in the Stay Cool embellishment Add-on from the April kit to help mat my photo.
That little addition of scrap paper really comes in handy for tucking in bits and pieces, and helping the photo pop out a little bit more from the background. That cluster of flowers is made from elements out of the Bella Blvd She Blooms paper pieces found in the main kit.
One of my favorite things to do is use different fonts for longer titles to add a little bit of interest. A little stitching and hand written journaling finish the look.
Thanks for stopping by!

Checking out air compressor reviews is a good way to find out which brand or model of air compressor is best suited to your requirements. Depending on whether you are looking for industrial strength heavy duty compressors or something smaller to use around the home, the price can vary.
We do a lot of research on the different brands. We take a look at a lot of customer reviews and what the feedback is on the various brands. It's not about reading the praises on the manufacturers website.
Knowing what actual users think of the product and what they use it for is of tremendous value.

Within the last 2 months I have had a pleasure of teaching firstly on the BAA Summer School Seminar, held over 2 days in Yorkshire; and secondly at the 1 day Introduction to Shinkendo Seminar held in Milton Keynes. This has reminded me of the importance of attending such events.
The phrase martial arts is effectively made up to two words (rather self-evident). The first is martial, which is defined in the dictionary as being "suitable for, or associated with war or the armed forces". The second is art, which is defined in the dictionary as being "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form".
In the first instance the study or suitability of what we learn, specifically relating to "war" can only truly be learned in parallel with ours. As we often explain, a martial art school, at its core, provides you with a platform to learn key skills whether that be distancing, timing, balance or power generation. Many of the techniques taught are at their simplest, expressions of these ideas. However, to truly understand and learn these principles a significant level of experience is required. This experience must be gained in association with a training partner, and the more training partners you have the greater the width of the experience you gain. People often ask me whether my martial art works? This is often the wrong question. The correct question should be, can I make my martial art work? And for me to give an answer to this question would require a great breath of experience encompassing a wide variety of people, gained via first hand experience. This is because if I can only make my techniques work on small skinny guys weaker than me then a question on whether I can really make it work, and whether it is in fact suitable are inevitable consequences of this.
The interesting thing about martial arts is the various breath of styles out there. From Karate, Judo, Jujutsu, Hapkido, MMA, UFC to KungFu and Crane. What becomes even more interesting is that even within those styles, such as Karate, these often break down further into system such as Shotokan, Wado-Ryu or Kempo. Even further these styles break down again, from Soft to Hard styles to Competition Focused, Kata Focused or pure martial/street training. Martial arts are just so wide and yet they cater for absolutely EVERYONE. The reason people pick their martial art is often various, but the reason they stay is purely because that style offers them something that they are after, which is often very personal and distinct. This is a key reason that the "my martial art is better than your martial art" is often a flawed argument. Aikido is a key example of this. I may be late aged, a little unfit, an office worker, and crave some social interaction. The style that may appeal to me maybe very soft, focus a lot on internal/spiritual ideas, and may lack a high degree of martial elements (i.e. hard style training). Whilst it may not be for everyone it does offer "me" what I am after and to that degree few can argue against that. You may disagree with my choice but ultimately that is the benefit of consumer choice. This idea ultimately relates back to the point raised prior of art being the "expression or application of human creative skill and imagination"; i.e. the art I choose to study ultimately forms the basis of how I choose to express myself. As I'm an individual my choice of expression is rarely likely to match that of yours. For reference my own martial desire relate to high martial practicability, scientific biomechanics and pure logical efficiency - but that maybe a symptom of the way my brain is wired.
On the other completely opposite side of the spectrum is the reality that techniques evolve and change. My martial experience may offer me a new insight, which allows me to be "creative" with what I have experienced through my training with others. This hard earned wisdom may help me to develop or change my techniques in new directions, directions that I may deem to be more efficient, applicable or suitable. It is arguable that as martial "artists" this creativity/imaginative element is our duty to learn and refine. This ultimately is why we continue to train isn't it? To become more effective and efficient at what we do?
So heres the crux of it all - seminars are just so important to attend because they directly feed into what it means to be a martial artist. Firstly they offer you the opportunity to train with new people who you have never trained with before. To put your metal to the test and see whether what you do is truly suitable when done against someone who is not your usual routine training partner. Secondly they offer you an opportunity to see A) what others have in terms of their style (whats the differences between theirs and yours); and B) they give you an opportunity to see the "creativity" and "imagination" element of others and what wisdom their training has brought them that they might be able to share with you. In some instances they may have gone down a completely different path from where you are, and thats okay. In others they have be a little further along your path than you and may provide you with a small new insight that helps you progress just ever so much. Ultimately I can't stress the importance enough of just how important and beneficial it is for us as martial artists to attend these events with your fellow budoka should you get the opportunity. The opportunities they offer you to grow cannot be espoused enough.

|Cobb Salad
That Cobb Salad was packed with tasty ingredients: tender chicken breast, avocado, garden greens, egg and tart red onions, lightly bathed in a creamy dressing. Having everything organic made it taste that much better, but let me tell you, when it comes to a dish that will warm the cockles of your heart, there's nothing better than a big ol' dish of tender, braised beef with gnocchi and hunks of seasonal vegetables.
|Beef Bourguignon with gnocchi and vegetables.
A few days later I returned with a friend. Lucky me. This time we went with the beet salad, the chicken ravioli and an incredibly juicy burger that was the best I've had in a long time. Why? Nothing but pure, organic beef with only salt and pepper to flavour. Amazing.
|Where's the beef? Right here folks: pure burger

Art on A1A
From Ponte Vedra to Flagler Beach ...... must see Art venues
The Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach
The Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach serves as the hub of the community, offering exhibits of local, regional and national artists in a variety of media, hosting art events and numerous art education classes, lectures and workshops.
It has an extensive number of adult art classes and workshops led by accomplished artists in a variety of mediums, such as watercolors, ceramics, and oil and acrylic paintings. They are offered at the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
The Cultural Center also has a wide-ranging amount of children's arts classes, workshops, home school programs, and camps to stimulate awareness, independence, observation, communication, courage and self-esteem. Classes start for children as young as 2-years-old and extend up to programs for teens.
During the summer, more than 30 children's camps and workshops are offered, ranging from puppetry, dance, and culinary to sculpture, theatre, photography, mixed media, glass work, culinary and even rock band.
The Cultural Center hosts 8 to 10 annual exhibits of professional artists work in its galleries with opening receptions for each of those events. The galleries are free and open to the community during weekday business hours. The art displays highlight emerging and established local and regional artists and features national artists twice a year.
In addition to the art gallery, the Cultural Center provides studio facilities for art, dance, music and voice instruction classes. It also offers special programs for isolated seniors and children with special needs. Overall, it provides programs for 8,000 persons annually.
In serving as the community cultural hub, the center helps support local artists by hosting various activities, such as a "yart" sale featuring artists who want to sell their art at value prices.
The center is overseen by Executive Director Dick Williams and a Board of Directors. It has 25 contract artists and many patrons and volunteers. As a non-profit, the Cultural Center hosts numerous fundraising events with a focus on the arts and memberships are available.
The center is at 50 Executive Way in Ponte Vedra Beach and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. More information can be obtained at www.ccpvb.org or by calling 904.280.0614.
The St. Augustine Art Association in the Old Town quarter of the Historic District has been at the heart of St. Augustine's art scene since 1924. The art gallery serves as the community's cultural hub, and is a gathering place for workshops, lectures, children's programs, concerts and special events.
In addition to offering walking tours, concerts and films, the association sponsors the popular First Friday Art Walks, the Fall Art & Craft Festival and has visiting and permanent art collections.
The First Friday Art Walks occurs the first Friday of every month from 5-9 p.m. There is a trolley that can take visitors to the 15 art venues in the downtown historic area and many of the sidewalk cafes remain open. The Art Walk event has earned it a People's Choice Award from the St. Augustine Record.
There is also a walking tour that features 10 historic sites in the Old Town quarter that illustrate the footsteps of St. Augustine's past. The tour includes the sites of a former Spanish military hospital on Aviles Street – the oldest mapped street in the United States, several churches and homes and original stone walls made of coquina, a coarse limestone unique to the area and another wall of coquina and tabby, a mixture of plaster and oyster shell.
The association's annual Arts Festival draws 15,000 visitors for two days the Saturday and Sunday after Thanksgiving and features national artists, fine arts, craftsman, historical groups and musical entertainment. The event features more than 150 artists from around the United States.
The gallery features a permanent collection of a dedicated group of professional and amateur artists who from 1930-1950 helped form the art association and transform St. Augustine into a thriving winter art colony that attracted hundreds of American artists. The collection, known as the "Lost Colony" artists, includes the works of E.B. Warren, Walter Cole, Tod Lindenmuth, William L'Engle, Emmett Fritz and others.
The works in the "Lost Colony" have been recognized as making an important contribution to American regional art. The story of St. Augustine's art colony is largely forgotten and this online gallery of selected works in the permanent collection offers an opportunity to connect with the artists and discover unique and diverse aesthetics from years gone by.
The gallery also features evidence of Sir Francis Drake's Raid on the town and how he burned it down in 1586. After Drake torched the town, the Spanish rebuilt the town and its population doubled. The permanent exhibit features 16th century artifacts that were excavated directly under a new addition to the art association in the 1990's. The display includes Native American and Spanish pottery, such as a bowl, pitcher and building materials.
The St. Augustine Art Association boasts a permanent art collection of more than 150 pieces. In addition, it displays a new exhibit/themed exhibit every month. The majority of the art is local or regional, with the exception of the annual Nature & Wildlife Art Exhibit that occurs every August and features national artists.
The gallery is overseen by Diane Bradley, who serves President of the Board of Directors, Elyse Brady, Administrator, as well as numerous volunteer curators and docents.
The gallery can be found at 22 Marine St. in St. Augustine and is open Tues. through Sat. from 2-4 p.m. and Sunday 2-5 p.m. Admission is free. It has occasional workshops at other hours as well, check their website www.staaa.org for those programs. 904.824.2310.

Baliker Gallery
Tucked away in Flagler County's Hammock community, those driving by see a unique sight: Monumental and life-sized bronze and wooden sculptures that draw in the curious to the Baliker Gallery. The sculptures and furniture made by Paul Baliker have an environmental theme, featuring marine life, birds, animals and man to reflect the balance of humans with nature. Each of his sculptures makes a statement about the symbiotic relationship between the two and raises the environmental consciousness.
The gallery also features art from his partner, Cynthia Spiriti, who creates bonze nude sculptures, and his mother Joan Baliker, who specializes in bronze spiritual creations. Several other artists are on display as well, such as Tripp Harrison.
Baliker said he focuses on the environment because "With the way the world s today, every artist ought to be doing environmental art. That's what we should all be doing."
The gallery also includes his workshop, where large pieces of wood – mostly driftwood and cedar – are stored, along with other art supplies. Baliker's sculptures can be seen in numerous public and corporate locations, such as the Daytona Beach International Airport, the Gaylord Palms Resort and the Orange County Convention Center.
The gallery is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat.-Sun. and by appointment. It is just south of Washington Oaks State Park at 5928 N. Ocean Shore Blvd (State Road A1A). For more information, go to www.paulbaliker.com or call 386.446.0069.
Ocean Art Gallery - Flagler Beach
Ocean Art Gallery, recognized as Flagler Beach's Fine Art Destination, is a lively and fun place that excites the senses. Its attractive 2,000 square foot space, located a block off Scenic A1A on State Road 100, is just steps from the Atlantic Ocean, across the street from Veterans Park and the Farmers Market in downtown Flagler Beach.
With original art and high quality prints from over 25 local and national artists, the gallery offers acrylic, oil, mixed-media, watercolor, pastel, photography, sculpture, hand blown glass, sterling silver jewelry, and more. Local residents, vacationing visitors, and collectors can find the perfect contemporary art for home or office.
Ocean Art Gallery also is an educational source for art and conservation of natural assets. Workshops teach beginning and intermediate artists valuable techniques, and frequent BYOB paint parties provide a fun social setting to learn how to paint in just two hours. As the art partner for Marineland Dolphin Adventure, the gallery conducts acrylic painting and photographic workshops at the historic marine attraction on A1A. Workshops are open to anyone 16 and older, and are offered on weekdays and Saturdays. This is a perfect partnering of art and conservation to inspire a greater appreciation for the unique nature found on the barrier island on which Marineland is located.
Gallery owner Frank Gromling is a highly regarded conservationist whose experience with and books about North Atlantic right whales and sea turtles are essential reading for volunteers engaged in conservation projects in St. Johns, Flagler and Volusia Counties. He conducts informative conservation talks at the gallery and local venues, such as Gamble Rogers State Park. Other experts often give presentations about art and conservation topics, plus musical concerts frequently add an exciting touch to the entertaining events at the gallery.
As part of its community commitment, Ocean Art Gallery conducts FDOT-sponsored litter cleanups along a two-mile stretch of A1A from Beverly Beach to north of Painters Hill. For over four years these cleanups have kept the land on both sides of Scenic A1A free of trash left by those with less concern for nature and the community.
Another community project is the Flagler Art & Wine Shuttle that Frank Gromling created in 2014 to transport residents and visitors along A1A to several art galleries in air conditioned vans. This six-hour afternoon in December and April has introduced thousands to local galleries in Flagler Beach and the Hammock area of Palm Coast. It has proven to be an entertaining way to meet new friends while viewing incredible art and tasting wine and light refreshments.
The gallery, 100% veteran owned, is open Tuesday through Sunday from 12 noon to 6:00 pm. Further information may be obtained by calling 386.693.4882 or by visiting www.FlaglerOceanArtGallery.com.

WICHITA, Kan. - When Patricia Hughes drowned in June 2003, police initially believed a neighbor girl who told them the young mother had been trying to rescue her 2-year-old daughter from a residential pool when she accidentally drowned.
But a prosecutor told a judge Tuesday that her death was actually premeditated first-degree murder perpetrated by Daniel U. Perez, 52, and that the girl now will testify that Perez directed her to tell "a false story to police" about how Hughes drowned in the pool.
The comments from prosecutor Kim Parker came as the preliminary hearing for Perez got under way with prosecutors portraying with their witnesses a domineering leader who got group members and friends alike to do his bidding, sometimes with threats of violence.
Prosecutors must show a judge enough evidence to justify a trial on murder and other charges during a preliminary hearing that is expected to last two to three days.
Perez was known for years as Lou Castro, a false identity he assumed after fleeing Texas following his conviction on child sex charges. In addition to the murder charge, he now also faces multiple counts of lying on life insurance applications, rape, sodomy, criminal threat, making false statements on auto credit applications and sexual exploitation of a child.
Tuesday's proceeding offered the first public glimpse into the state's case against the leader of a group whose members are accused of living lavishly off millions of dollars in life insurance payouts from dead commune members.
Retired insurance salesman Bill Hatton testified that he wrote five policies for group members, including a $2 million one on Hughes. Perez directed the amounts and beneficiaries of all the policies, even though he was not listed on them, Hatton said.
The insurance salesman said Perez told him that the group members had formed a family bond.
Hughes' parents have alleged in court documents that the group is linked to other deaths, including Hughes' husband and another group member who had gotten legal guardianship of Hughes' orphaned daughter.
On Tuesday, prosecutors put on the stand several witnesses who recounted the control Perez exercised over others.
David Quiring, who married one of the women in the commune, testified he and his wife were the only ones in the group with real jobs. His wife convinced him to co-sign for a $50,000 equity loan on their house, most of the money which then went to the group, and had him co-sign on numerous car loans for other group members.
Quiring said he stayed on the "outside edge of things" and mostly kept to himself while his wife spent more time with the group than she did with him.
"It was never about what her and I needed, it was about what they needed," Quiring said.
A friend of the group, Phillip Young, also testified he co-signed for several car loans for group members.
Car salesman Keith Williams took the stand to say commune members bought between 20-35 vehicles from the dealership, with Perez picking them out and designating whose names would be on the title. Perez never signed a document or had one titled in his own name.
Also taking the stand was a young woman who lived in a Kansas commune as a teenager and testified that the group's leader sexually abused her and threatened to kill her and her parents if she did not do as he told her.
The woman who testified about being sexually assaulted said Perez once pointed a gun at her and fired two shots into a wall. She said he then ordered her and her younger sister to undress. The sexual attacks continued over several years.
The Associated Press is not naming the woman because of a policy against identifying possible victims of sexual assault.
She also testified that Perez ordered her to secretly videotape as she was undressing an 8-year-old girl who had come to the compound to go swimming, posing her in sexually provocative ways. That testimony relates to charges of sexual exploitation of a child in a related case.
On the day Hughes died, Perez and several people had just left the compound and gone to a car dealership to buy a car when Perez got a phone call five minutes after they arrived telling him of an emergency back home, she testified.

Maj. Gen. Shavendra Silva To The UN
The External Affairs Ministry has said that Sri Lanka Army Director of Operations Major General Shavendra Silva has been appointed as Sri Lanka's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN).
External Affairs Ministry sources have been quoted in the media saying he is to take up the posting shortly.
Major General Silva was the commander of the Sri Lanka Army's 58 Division during the war against the LTTE and was instrumental in the military capturing several former LTTE strongholds including the Mannar rice Bowl, Nachchikuda, Devils Point, Pooneryn, Kilinochchi, Elephant Pass, Vishvamadu and Puthukudirippu.
The local media quoting External Affairs Ministry sources have said Major General Silva, who was a frontline commander during the battles, is believed to be capable of sorting out the issues raised by the UN and its Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
Major General Silva will fill the vacancy created by Bandula Jayasekera who was recalled this month.
This appointment comes in the wake of the UN's allegations of human rights violations during the final stages of the war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) last year.

On the basis of the Agreement on the joint geochemical studies of border regions signed between the General Department of Geology under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan and the Geological Service of China, geochemical surveys were conducted to create the geochemical maps of the Gorny Badakhshan Region in the east of Tajikistan.
In the framework of this cooperation, 30 local young geologists have been involved in the project in the Murghab District.
In accordance with the project, geochemical sampling has been completed for 30-40 km2. In general, it should be emphasized that the staff of the General Department of Geology collected more than 8,000 geochemical samples on the scale of 1:250000 and 1:1000000 with the purpose of identifying 42 chemical elements. At this stage, the samples are studied in the laboratory.

Recipe in German at the end of the post / Deutsches Rezept im Anschluß.
Caponata seems to have enjoyed its own revival in recent years and is best enjoyed at room temperature which makes it a perfect prep-in-advance thing where its ingredients also benefit from a little more lingering. Fantastically versatile – excellent party fare, a great starter or appetizer, perfectly light but satisfying summer lunch, a side bursting with flavour or a nice autumn supper – this is an even more splendid end of summer dish.
Using the ripest aubergines and tastiest tomatoes, it embodies and transfigures all of summer's lusciousness and warmth that is even more emphasized by the holy Sicilian agrodolce (sweet & sour) trinity: vinegar, raisins, pine nuts – a delicious result of the many Moorish influences on the Mediterranean cuisine, art & culture. No wonder, that moorish is also a synonym for everything utterly tasteful. Continue reading

Brainstorming our bedroom makeover
I mentioned in my post about our bedroom that I was hoping to sell our current dresser/nightstand and replace with something that fit the room a bit better. I am not sure when we'll have the finances to do this, but it's fun to brainstorm.
As a refresher, here are the pictures of our bedroom as it stands currently:
I want to get rid of the dresser/mirror, the nightstands on either side of our bed, the other nightstand, and probably get a headboard as well. I think a nice rug would complement our room well, and we definitely need to think about window coverings/new blinds. Those would be father in the future, of course.
After checking out all the dressers in Ikea, I think this is the one I want (the HEMNES 8-drawer dresser):
I also like the matching nightstand (the HEMNES chest with 2 drawers):
There is also a matching headboard that I wouldn't mind, but I don't have strong opinions on the subject. I'll have to be creative about replacing the mirror, but Ikea has a lot of fun options.
I really like all these pieces in white, but I don't know how well it would match our walls. They are a very, very light blue/gray color – they look white in pictures. I love their color, but it wouldn't be enough contrast to white furniture. I have two options… One, paint the walls of the room to a darker color – perhaps the same blue/gray but darker? I don't mind doing this, but it does add another cost to the room.
The other option is to get different color furniture. The HEMNES dresser and nightstand come in three other colors:
Unfortunately, the headboard only comes in white so I'd have to look for something else. I can't decide which one I like best and will match our room. We have somewhat of a blue/tan/green theme going on, matching our quilt – I would probably continue with that color scheme.
I need to find something for between the closets and door. If we put a piece of furniture there, it needs to be narrow – I am always hitting my leg on the corner of the current nightstand. We also need an easily activated light, since the switch on the wall works the overhead fan. I was thinking a floor lamp, but at the same time I would really like to have some places in our room that are out of reach of little hands. I could put shelves on the wall over the dresser – on either side of the mirror perhaps? I still need to think through our options for this.
What ideas do you have?

The Post-Election Review Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party submitted its report on Wednesday with a recommendation that the party should pick its presidential candidate in the 2019 election from the North.
It also recommended the adoption of direct primary in the election of all candidates for future polls.
The committee chairman, Ike Ekweremadu, disclosed this in Abuja while submitting its report to the National Working Committee of the PDP.
The party had set up the panel in May in the wake of its poor performance in the last general elections.
It was given a nine-point terms of reference, the sum of which was to find out what went wrong and to chart a trajectory for the restoration of the fortunes of the former ruling party.
Mr. Ekweremadu, who is also the deputy senate president, said the recommendation for the zoning of the presidential slot of the party to the North was not only informed by the fact the last president produced by the party, Goodluck Jonathan, was a southerner but also because it was a view popularly expressed during the work of the committee.
He said the party should strictly apply the zoning principle at all levels.
He said, "It is also recommended to the party to strictly apply the zoning principle at all levels. In particular, since the last President of PDP extraction came from the southern part of Nigeria, it is recommended that PDP's presidential candidate in the 2019 general elections should come from the northern part of the country.
"This is in accordance with the popular views expressed in the submissions to the Committee. This will also assuage any ill feelings in the North over any perceived breach of the party's zoning principle."
On the mode of choosing candidates during the election, Mr. Ekweremadu said the committee observed that the use of delegates for that purpose had been grossly compromised and abused.
"Furthermore, it is recommended that the party adopt direct primary as the sole means of electing PDP candidates for any election at all levels," he said.
"The use of delegates has been grossly compromised and abused, and should therefore be discontinued forthwith to return true ownership of the party to the people."
He said the committee also proposed a nationwide biometric membership registration to align the party records with modern technology and further boost the integrity of its membership records as a precursor to other reforms recommended.
The deputy senate president said in line with the recommendations, the panel also drew a roadmap towards the 2019 general elections and future electoral success.
Mr. Ekweremadu explained, "We have made extensive recommendations, the core of which is to end impunity, uphold justice, entrench internal democracy, enhance party administration, promote transparency and accountability, and return the party to its true owners- the people- in accordance with our Party slogan and founding principles."
Mr. Ekweremadu said in carrying out its assignment, the committee not only received memoranda from PDP members within and outside the country, but also held consultations in the six geopolitical zones of the nation.
He said the committee's work looked at critical areas and issues such as party structure and administration, party finance, legal framework, primary elections, party's candidates, conflict resolution, campaign organisations, campaign finance, Election Day activities, post-election management, third Party groups/support groups, among others.
He said it also sought to find out how each of these factors had impacted PDP electoral fortunes and the party's general wellbeing over the years, particularly in the last general elections.
He thanked PDP members across the country members across for their faith in the renewed quest to recreate the party, noting that "despite the setbacks of the 2015 general elections, especially the loss of the control of the Federal Government, we nevertheless saw across the nation determined party faithful profusely hopeful and enthusiastic about reinventing our party and returning it on the path of glory."
He said the resilience was the committee's greatest asset in the push to rebuild and reposition the PDP.
Mr. Ekweremadu told the NWC members that from the feedback the committee members got in the course of their assignment, more and more Nigerians were beginning to appreciate the PDP as the only truly national party in Nigeria today with strong presence in every nook and cranny of the nation.
He added, "More people are now better aware of the immense scope of freedom and inclusiveness, which we bequeathed. Never at any time in our 16 years of leadership did any part of this great country complain of total exclusion or brazen lop-sidedness in appointments into critical offices.
"The nation now better acknowledges the fact that only the PDP can provide a sense of belonging to every part of Nigeria, irrespective of their political choices. The APC must put the unity of our country first. Our strength lies in our unity."
The deputy senate president recounted that the PDP lost the presidency and conceded it to the opposition in a smooth transition, thereby setting a standard that must not be reduced if democracy must grow.
He said the onus was therefore on every other party to respect the sanctity and supremacy of the ballot box.
"The APC should know that it is the greatest beneficiary of the electoral reforms and political freedom nurtured and bequeathed by the PDP government. These gains must not be reversed," he said.
He said millions of PDP members across the country and other Nigerians were now better informed of the superiority of the PDP in intentions and programmes, adding "They want us to put our house in order ahead of 2019. The time to begin is now."

Democrats Bow to Bush's Demands in House Spending Bill
Thursday, December 13, 2007
House Democratic leaders yesterday agreed to meet President Bush's bottom-line spending limit on a sprawling, half-trillion-dollar domestic spending bill, dropping their demands for as much as $22 billion in additional spending but vowing to shift funds from the president's priorities to theirs.
The final legislation, still under negotiation, will be shorn of funding for the war in Iraq when it reaches the House floor, possibly on Friday. But Democratic leadership aides concede that the Senate will probably add those funds. A proposal to strip the bill of spending provisions for lawmakers' home districts was shelved after a bipartisan revolt, but Democrats say the number and size of those earmarks will be scaled back.
When defense spending is added to the total, discretionary spending for fiscal 2008 would reach a tentative total of $936.5 billion, $3.7 billion more than the president's request, said House Appropriations Committee staff members. All of the additional money would be spent on veterans affairs.
The agreement signaled that congressional Democrats are ready to give in to many of the White House's demands as they try to finish the session before they break for Christmas -- a political victory for the president, who has refused to compromise on the spending measures.
The House last night also approved a new version of legislation that would stave off the spread of the alternative minimum tax, a parallel tax system originally targeted at the very rich, to millions of middle-class families. The House version would not add to the federal budget deficit.
The progress yesterday on Capitol Hill did not mean that lawmakers will be rushing to the exits in the next few days. The AMT bill, which was approved 226 to 193, pays for the $50 billion tax fix largely by preventing hedge fund managers from deferring compensation by shifting their pay to offshore tax shelters. The White House issued a fresh veto threat, reiterating Bush's opposition to any tax increases to pay for an AMT fix.
The threat virtually ensured that the Senate will not muster the 60 votes needed to break a threatened Republican filibuster. It moved Congress further toward shattering a Democratic pledge not to pass tax cuts that are not fully offset by tax increases or spending reductions.
Senate Democratic leaders, backed by key Republicans, finalized a new version of a comprehensive energy bill. It would raise automotive fuel-efficiency standards and preserve a package of conservation and renewable-energy tax incentives, to be funded largely by revoking tax breaks given to the largest oil companies in recent years.
The Senate is to vote today on the revised energy bill, and senators from both parties said proponents are close to reaching the 60-vote threshold. Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) summoned from the campaign trail the five senators seeking the presidential nomination for this morning's vote.
The new version of the bill meets a key White House demand by stripping out a requirement that utilities move toward generating 15 percent of their electricity from renewable energy sources. It also pares back tax increases on oil companies by exempting independent energy companies from a provision that would end a manufacturer's tax credit awarded in 2005.
But the White House is also threatening to veto that legislation. "It seems that Senator Reid wants to keep the tax title in there, which the president has been very clear that he won't sign," White House spokesman Dana Perino said.
Bush may also veto the spending package, even though Democrats shaved $22 billion from federal domestic programs to meet his demands, said Rep. Jerry Lewis (Calif.), the ranking Republican on the House Appropriations Committee. He added, "And I think we'll have enough Republicans to sustain a veto."

The instrument console is a combination of digital and analogue features. An analogue tachometer is placed on the left, while a digital speedometer, fuel gauge, trip meter and other indicators are on the right. An additional feature of service due indicator is quite unique.
The Performance:
An especially re-tuned 150 cc engine that powers Hero's Hunk and Xtreme is the hallmark of this bike. This 4-stroke, air-cooled, OHC engine generates a power output of 13 BHP at 7500 rpm. The torque produced by this mono cylinder engine of 13.4 Nm is achievable at a rate of 5000 rpm. The 5-speed manual gearbox follows the similar gear shift pattern of one gear down and four gears up.
The Ride:
To balance the bike's on and off road performance, Hero has reduced its power and increased it torque output. This results in better acceleration and pick up at lower rpms. With crisp gear ratios the bike does 0 to 60 kmph in less than five seconds. Although less powerful than its rivals, its light weight manages a respectable power to weight ratio. An efficient and improved throttle response gives it an added advantage while off roading. This bike can easily notch up over 115 kmph.
The Consumption:
Its light weight (119kgs) makes it most fuel efficient, giving an impressive 55 kmpl in city conditions and more on highways.
The Comfort and Safety:
Despite its mean dirt bike looks, the bike actually is quite comfortable to ride on any kind of terrain. The sleek tank shape lets you grip it firmly between your knees and a firm palm grip provides a good handle hold. The thoughtful placement of foot-pegs enables a relaxed posture. The unique suspension system adapts according to the road conditions to make the ride smooth. Its massive ground clearance of 245 mm enables it to cross almost every possible obstruction on road. A 240mm disc brake at its front and a drum brake of 110mm at its rear makes it safe and easy to handle. A large wheelbase (1360mm) increases stability at high speeds, especially around the corners.
The Colours:
Five fantastic shades: Tar Black, Deep Blue Sea, Terra Rossa, Grassland Green and Canyon Orange.
The Cost:
It comes at a hefty price of Rs. 79,449.
The Verdict:
Unique features come with a hefty price tag, but the cost is worth it, since no other bike will give you the riding experience that Impulse does, especially off road. If you are in dire need of a bike with a pinch of everything, then go for it. It is one of the flagship bike from the house of none other than our own HERO.

I have been stitching from a very early age, first picking up a needle around the age of seven. By the time I was considering career choices, stitching was far from my mind as I assumed a creative path was not an option. My mother, however, disagreed and together we found the Royal School of Needlework which I joined on 1 September 2000.
The apprenticeship training I received at the RSN was a fascinating one. It had a firm base in tradition with skills being passed on from others who had received similar training themselves. These established methods are very important to me as so often these traditional techniques are diluted over time under the banner of 'contemporary stitches'.
I have lost track of how many different embroidery styles I mastered during my training, but I definitely found several favourites which are my 'go to' stitching techniques: blackwork, goldwork and silk shading. Just keep the canvas away from me – we don't have a happy relationship!
Since I finished my training, I have regularly passed on my knowledge and passion for embroidery at the RSN in a mixture of short courses, the certificate and diploma programme and by assessing the work submitted by students. The RSN holds a unique spot in textile tuition and I am proud to say I have been associated with them for the last sixteen years.
This association has continued to offer me some fantastic stitching opportunities over the years. I have embroidered elements of the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress, including a pair of her shoes. I have also worked on a dress for the Oscars when the Red Carpet Green Dress scheme visited the studio. There have also been several different Altar Frontals and other random projects which I have been called on to offer another pair of hands.
Having finally established my own studio space in 2013, I am now able to devote more of my time to developing my own embroidery practices. My aim is to produce highly detailed and specialised stitching which encourages the viewer to spend time studying the work carefully. I enjoy adding in little details you need to really look for. Hand embroidery is often considered old fashioned, but if I can create work which makes someone ponder hand stitching in an unexpected way, then I feel I will have succeeded.
My most recent work is focused on creating hyper-realistic embroideries, so far I have worked my own 3 cats and a series of birds. Moving forward I have more birds planned, but also some more exotic ideas which I am itching to start. Along with my artwork I am continuing to produce traditional embroidery kits with a contemporary twist along with a wide range of classes and distance classes.

Nonetheless, when a gentleman finds himself being overwhelmed by the urge to reach for the scissors and Pritt Stick every time they see a photograph of John Lennon or Stevie Ray Vaughn, it does tend to negatively impact upon their credibility in general.

Thanks Ben for all the information you have shared so far, its appreciated.

Hey if Larry'sis not telling the truth he started out awful early on. I have known him well for several decades and have never caught him in a lie. I first sway him in 1984(5)? talking on the outside steps of the high school in Brewster, NY where a town hall meeting was being held on UFOs. He told the same story he tells now. He seemed remarkable to me than. It is remarkable now. . .Everyone wants to be an arm chair UFOlogist. Its so easy to come up with an opinion. A bit more difficult to do some actual leg work.
Here is the most complete interview ever done with Larry -- it was on the show I co host with Tim Swartz on KCORradio.com You can find the archives by going to Mr UFOs Secret Files on YouTube. Most everything else is BS - lol

• We develop edible self-supporting films from corn starch and functional polysaccharide.
• Functional polysaccharides used are amylose, methylcellulose or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose.
• Films can be heat sealed in the temperature range of 85–166 °C.
• Films sealed at temperature <143 °C show peeling mode failure.
• For the sealing temperature ranging within 144–166 °C, tearing mode failure is common.
Heat sealing property of self-supporting edible films based on corn starch and a functional polysaccharide, such as amylose (AM), methylcellulose (MC) or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) was evaluated. Films were prepared in the laboratory by casting and heat sealed at 85–166 °C by an impulse heat sealer. Irrespective of film composition, sealing temperature influenced the seal strength. Films sealed at temperature <143 °C showed peeling mode failure attributing to weak seal strength, while that at ≥ 144 °C showed tearing mode failure indicating good seal strength. The highest seal strength was obtained at166 °C, and the value was 0.396, 0.211 and 0.385 N/mm for AM, MC, and HPMC containing film, respectively.

Bidayuh Pesta Birumuh - Weeding - Ngebu
Within a month or two, from shootlets, the padi grow stronger and taller and produce longer leave blades. The problem is that, when padi grow, so does the weeds and foreign grasses. This is because while the padi are still short, there are much opening or space between the cluster of padi for the grass to grow.
The padi farmer need to upkeep the land to prevent the weeds and grasses from stunning the padi growth. For a few weeks, the womenfolk will do the weeding to pull out those weeds and grass.
Another back breaking jobs for the womenfolk. Weeding or "Ngebu" is usually done once since after that, the padi would grower taller and compacted and leave little space in between them for any grass to grow.
Padi intersperse with other short-term crops such as maize (corn), pumpkin, highland tomatoes (Terong Dayak) and Sawi Dayak. These short-term crops were planted just after the padi planting occasion. Remember the nuruk session.
Fields of padi and weeds. Notice the weeds between the padi clusters. Those weeds need to be remove by hand to prevent the weeds from absorbing the nutrients from the grow and leave little nutrient for the padi.

Gimblett Gravels, Hawkes Bay2014
Alcohol: 13.0%
4 stars
4.5 stars (90 points)
This excellent Estate Syrah was sourced from our Mere Road Vineyard in the Gimblett Gravels region of Hawkes Bay. The 2014 growing season was generally hot and dry, with welcome intermittent rain. Together with a settled autumn, conditions were perfect for ripening, with a slightly earlier than usual compressed harvest.
After a short cold soak lasting three days to extract important colour and flavour components, the must was fermented in a selection of open top, closed stainless steel vats, and barrel before being pressed off skins. The wine was sent to barrel for nine months aging in quality 50% French and 50% American oak, then egg white fined, and filtered just before bottling on 17 March 2015, under Stelvin screw cap.
This delightful medium-bodied Syrah shows excellent varietal character, with an abundance of white pepper, black berry fruits and dark cherry flavours and aromas, complemented by spicy oak. Ready for immediate enjoyment, it will also reward cellaring.
