The worlds largest, and tallest building, should be a vertical farm, in a major city, with natural and LED lighting.
Get to work billionaires... What the heck do we even have you people for?
You know... I remember, back in "the good old days" before I was born, and human beings had rights, we just had millionaires... but still, every few years one of them would build the tallest building the world has ever seen. Giant monuments of pure ego, with office space, that barely paid for itself over the course of a generation.
We're in the internet age. We don't need as much office space as we used to... You know what we do need? Food... In cities, sustainably grown. Prove to society why it's awesome to let you be rich... Otherwise, we're not going to let you stay this rich that much longer.
What's the point of having monumental record breaking wealth, if you're not going to build giant monuments people want to see anymore?
PS As oil prices rise, there is profit to be made here. Restaurant at the top of the world, grocery store at the bottom.

Sep 2 2012: What the billionaires have done is they got to work and started spraying our planet with aluminum which will stop this assault on their corporate food control programs. Check your local water and ground for PH and aluminum contenet. This is SEROUS and I do not even know if it can be reversed. Please help aprehend these culprits sue them to recover the costs associated with cleaning up this environmental disaster and make all reseach available to the public to the aluminum resistand plants that have been created.
Thank You

Could Condensate Pricing in the Eagle Ford Slip?
Peter is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
EOG Resource's (NYSE: EOG) latest slide deck has an interesting scrap of information. Its significance was highlighted by a late question buried at the end of its quarterly conference call. Mark Papa revealed that EOG is seeing signs of weakness in Eagle Ford condensate pricing. If condensate prices weaken significantly, the impact on Eagle Ford producers could be significant, providing double trouble in this period of weak natural gas pricing.
Some good information can be found on the internet, if you're willing to dig for it. Message boards and investment sites allow retail investors to share information, digging up scuttlebutt on the companies they follow. A grain of salt is sometimes required, but a remarkably wide array of information is available to those that look for it.
A recent exchange on the Motley Fool's message boards called attention to EOG's most recent slide deck and its quarterly conference call. One particularly well-informed poster questioned if condensate pricing might be ready for a drop based on comments made by EOG Chairman and CEO, Mark Papa, on EOG's earnings call.
EOG led the current move by Independent E&Ps into the oil shale, and Papa is a big oil bull and natural gas bear. In fact, EOG is bearish very long term on natural gas. However, some feel that gas is due for a correction as supplies diminish as a result of the industry reducing rig counts on the major gas producing shales.
Papa thinks that's wrong. Dead wrong.
As natural gas prices fell, independents shifted drilling to 'wet' gas acreage that produced natural gas liquids (NGLs) to supplement falling gas revenue. NGL pricing subsequently collapsed under the weight of the resulting NGL oversupply, particularly in the ethane market. Papa's quick to point out that the NGL crunch has simply led to more and more combined production.
A 'combo' play refers to acreage that produces both oil and gas, typically in the realm of a 50:50 mix. The oil off the wells boost returns enough, raising return on investment and making the wells economic.
The Barnett combo play's been particularly important for large cap independents with predominantly gas-oriented acreage portfolios, most notably Devon Energy (NYSE: DVN). Everyone has some stake in the Barnett, but Devon's still valuable Barnett acreage is huge, and the combo acreage provides some all-important oil to offset weakening gas revenue.
That allows companies like Devon to keep drilling their Barnett acreage, preventing the draw down in supply some predict and keeping a roof on gas prices for the foreseeable future.
Condensate too?
More interesting was a question by a Morgan Stanley analyst about condensate. When asked for some color on condensate pricing, Papa replied that there was "definitely a difficulty in marketing the condensate in the Eagle Ford area." That's a scary data point.
Condensate is usually booked as oil when companies report production. It also usually prices close to oil. These are larger hydrocarbons, with a composition similar to gasoline. It still needs refining, of course, and the difficulty is that Texas refinery capacity for the stuff is low.
That's apparently leading to a build-up of condensate in Texas, if Papa's comment is any indication. That could be significant for some of the Eagle Ford producers. The trend is a major oil production source that EOG's predicting could surpass the Bakken in a couple of years.
That makes it a very hot trend that everyone's chasing, but the Eagle Ford is not homogeneous. There's a lot of variation in oil content in different regions. The northern regions are rich in oil, while the southern edges of the formation are gas rich. Intervening regions are condensate rich.
If you're in the wrong neighborhood, you're not getting light oil, the most valuable product. You're producing condensate, or worse yet, gas. If condensate prices soften that could squeeze some operators' margins.
A figure in EOG's latest slide deck makes that point pretty clearly (see Figure 1). The figure charts the average API gravity of oil produced by all producers with greater than 5 million barrels of cumulative Eagle Ford production.
API gravity is inversely proportional to density. Heavy crude is low API; light crude is in the 38 to 45 range. Condensate is essentially very light oil, with an API above 45. Looking at the chart, it becomes clear that much of the liquid produced in the Eagle Ford is actually condensate, not light oil.
That could become significant for companies like Chesapeake (NYSE: CHK) if condensate prices were to weaken. Chesapeake's built a strong acreage portfolio in emergent oil shales, and its Eagle Ford acreage position (#2 in the industry) is its best oil-bearing asset.
Look at that figure again. While it's difficult to figure out exactly who's who, it's clear that every large producer except EOG is producing predominantly condensate. So it's tough to escape the conclusion that much of Chesapeake's Eagle Ford liquids production must really be condensate.
If condensate pricing weakens, some of the significant Eagle Ford gains could be erased. The impact of that could be very damaging for the industry. Simultaneously low gas, NGL, and condensate prices are sure to have an impact on anyone not moving black oil through their pipes.
It points out one problem that investors always face when comparing companies: transparency in reporting and a lack of industry standards for some of that reporting. Many companies don't provide enough granularity in their production stats to figure out what mix of products exists in their product stream.
Up until natural gas prices plunged, many companies reported NGLs as liquids. Now most break liquids out and report oil and NGL production independently. Likely that's because analysts bugged them enough that they complied.
That "oil" is not all the same. Some may be heavy, some may be light, and some may be condensate. These are really different products that price independently, and that impacts revenue. Investors are left to puzzle it all out until analysts successfully pressure producers into providing more information.
If Papa's side comment on condensate pricing becomes reality, investors in some of the Independents producing condensate in the Eagle Ford could be in for a rude replay of the NGL crash, but this time in condensate. Investors should be wary of the trend, especially if it crops up in other basins.

Officials say a fisherman who fell off a New York City pier nearly drowned, but was saved by a fellow angler who snagged his clothing with a fishing hook, and held him steady until emergency workers arrived.
The NYPD says the unidentified man fell off the pier in Brooklyn into the Jamaica Bay at about 12:45 p.m. Saturday. They say a nearby fisherman immediately cast a line, hooked him and kept his head above water.
Firefighters arrived about seven minutes later, jumping into the water to rescue the fisherman, who had turned blue after taking on water.
He was brought onto a nearby police boat where cops and firefighters resuscitated him.
He was then taken to a nearby hospital.
The man is in stable condition.

Thomas S. Roukis, DPM, PhD, the author of the study, notes that the study only evaluated patients with diabetes and either an intact or ulcerated/infected skin envelope. He also notes that the study only evaluated aerobic bacteria and not anaerobic bacteria, fungus, yeast or mold. Dr. Roukis says further research is required to determine if the preparation would be as efficacious in those without diabetes and for other pathogens.
Will Surgical Preparation Have To Evolve As Pathogens Evolve?
As pathogens become more resistant to antibacterials, Dr. Roukis advocates a greater emphasis on the mechanical exfoliant action of more specialized surgical brushes and a need for longer duration of the preparation to maintain effectiveness.
"The fact that this study demonstrated a high incidence of MRSE bacteria that persisted in some patients after the surgical preparation highlights the difficulty that exists in eradicating aerobic bacteria from the foot and ankle," says Dr. Roukis, who is Attending Staff at the Department of Orthopaedics, Podiatry and Sports Medicine at Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center in La Crosse, Wis.
In addition to surgical preparation, Dr. Roukis also emphasizes that surgeons follow proper hygiene practices. Routine use of a surgical preparation during outpatient or inpatient dressing changes can also decrease the development of postoperative infection and improve pedal hygiene, according to Dr. Roukis, a Fellow and member of the Board of Directors of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.
Congress Temporarily Raises Medicare Payments 2.2 Percent
By Brian McCurdy, Senior Editor
As it has in previous years, Congress recently halted a planned 21.2 percent cut in Medicare reimbursement payments. In June, both houses approved a 2.2 percent raise in payments, which is effective retroactively from June 1 and will expire Nov. 30.
Does the payment increase keep pace with any increasing costs for podiatric practices? Yes and no, says Anthony Poggio, DPM. As he notes, the cost of living this past year has been reasonably stable so salaries and other costs have also been stable. He also points out that insurance rates, other than health insurance, have been stable.
However, Dr. Poggio notes podiatric practices have faced repeated small decreases or even no increases in practice revenue as a result of insurance reimbursement over the past several years. Overall, he says the 2.2 percent increase does not make up for all those past losses that DPMs have had to absorb.
This is not the first time that Congress has rejected a proposed Medicare cut. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has a formula to remain budget neutral, which calculates various medical costs, expenses and payments, and then derives a payment increase or decrease, according to Dr. Poggio. Unless the formula is changed, he says podiatric practices will see potential decreases in reimbursements every year.
"Congress has had to step in to override the calculated formula amount every year," says Dr. Poggio, who is board certified by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine and the American Board of Podiatric Orthopedics. "That brings politics into the mix. Congress has tried over the entire year to fix the problem but has only succeeded in deferring the problem, this time until the end of November 2010."
The American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) notes that claims dated June 2010, which had been paid at the 21.2 percent negative update, will automatically be reprocessed at the 2.2 percent increase. Practices do not need to resubmit claims, according to the APMA.

Small Nose research and development project, funded by Creative Peterborough, into how clowning can be used to bring a fresh perspective. They are particularly looking at Richard III - which is nicely topical.
This entry is by one of the particpants, Lisa Grant.
"Cold fearful drops stand on my trembling flesh." Richard. Act V Scene III Bosworth Field
My thoughts exactly as I stood outside the Key on a Sunday morning in the rain hoping the workshop with Small Nose on Richard III wouldn't be to taxing.
I met again the happy vagabonds I had encountered at the first workshop and as they warmly welcomed me my fear dissipated. Not least as I saw Kate Hall ready and raring to put us through our paces on the text of the play. I love the way Kate works and the speeches she chose for us to get our heads and mouths around were brilliantly bitter and visceral.
There was one point when she was demonstrating Iambic pentameter with the phrase "So would you like a lovely cup of tea" and I responded wholeheartedly "Yes" so taken in was I with her authentic delivery. No tea was forthcoming but exercises on the rhythm and pace of the speeches and Rhetoric. Rhetoric? …Yes, Rhetoric.
It is becoming apparent that we are a great mix of Actors, each bringing something different and even on our second meeting, we are connecting with each other marvellously. This is a testament to Jason Web and Mark Curtis of Small Nose who had the sense to invite us all.
Feeling I've been stretched both physically (thanks Mark) and mentally and looking forward to the next instalment of this R&D project with John Wright in March.
"So, I am satisfied. Give me a bowl of wine"
Handmade in Peterborough have created a set of free masterclasses with the help of Creative Peterborough and if you feel you would like to up your game as an artisan whether visual art or crafting and need that little help then please take a look at our first set of workshops on the link below and book yourself in.

Hello, my name is Jason Webb and I, together with Mark Curtis, set up a theatre company called Small Nose Productions. This blog is to tell you about the start, of what I'm hoping will be an exciting new project for Small Nose; and it's thanks to the funding that we received from the Creative Peterborough Fund.
First a little bit of background on the company.
We set up Small Nose in 2010. Mark and I have both worked as professional actors and within that work we have both trained with a gentleman called Philippe Gaulier. He teaches clown which is, in a nutshell, how to have fun, be funny and make interesting theatre. Most recently we have made a show called Aesop's Fable's. We performed at the Key Theatre Studio last year and we will be doing it again this year (see the Key Theatre brochure) go and see it, its very, very funny. That's enough info, I think.
What are you doing with the funding that you received, I hear you shout. We are doing a series of research and development workshops on Richard III, by Mr. W.Shakespeare. This is what happened in:
Date: 16th December 2012.
Place: Key Theatre Studio.
People: Artists based in Peterborough, or with a connection to Peterborough.
This workshop was lead by John Wright. John set up Trestle Theatre Company and Told By an Idiot. He has written a book called 'Why is that so funny' (it's a great book for anyone who has ever run a performing arts based workshop) and is a very well known director and theatre practitioner. I picked John up from the station and we arrived at the Key to get going for 10am.
We went through a fun warm up. This was not about working up a sweat, but just moving around in a slightly peculiar way. Still we were all doing it and John made sure he pointed out anyone that was too good, and told them not to show off.
We then did a series of exercises working in groups making stuff up on the spot, but trying to look like we knew what we were doing. See attached photos.
Then it was into pairs where we were given titles of scenes to perform. This time a small audience started to let us know if we were being a bit boring, by slowly raising their hands. This was in preparation to doing the same game in front of an audience. So far everything we had been doing was fun and virtually impossible to do right; and that is the point, trying to learn to enjoy what John and Gaulier call 'the flop'.
We then made use of the seats in the studio. We called this game 'finding the best seat'.
Now clearly to someone reading this, that might sound very dull. But as you can see from the photos – it was very funny. If you are asking yourself why, come and see a Small Nose show, and hopefully we might answer that question for you.
Yes you are right; we haven't mentioned Richard III, Shakespeare or any great intellectual process. We just gathered a group of people who had never worked together and did a lot of laughing.
We have this quote from John's book on the front page of our web site:
"If the work is playful it becomes pleasurable and when you're enjoying yourself you get bolder and take risks. Choices proliferate. Problems become more manageable because our perspectives change once the work becomes a pleasure." – (John Wright: 2010)
Next up Lisa: 10th Feb 2013, WORKSHOP Two.

So it's been over a year since everyone voted for my project at Creative Peterborough's Fund It Event. Since then I have been doing a lot of drawing, and a lot of writing. I have also had the opportunity to have some additional mentor time through one of the RSA's residencies. It's taken me a lot longer than I thought it would, but I am finally getting ready to put something into print.
Having laboriously written and drawn the opening sixteen pages of my epic story, some of which I am even still happy with, it was difficult to hear that I had basically wasted my time. When I pitched the project, I had thought that the obvious place to start a story was at the beginning, but apparently that's not the case! I made the painful decision to start over, and redrafted the entire novel. Although this decision has delayed the process somewhat, the extra time has allowed me to develop as an artist and as a writer, and I think the final product is now much better than it would otherwise have been.
I have also had the chance to do more market and industry research, and have been developing a number of shorter stories in different genres to increase my chances of getting something published in a publication with wider distribution. I have already uploaded some of the results of this work to my facebook page, and had some interest from a publisher.
But as I have yet to actually land that big publishing deal, I've been looking into print-on-demand self-publishing services so I can get something into print.
The first part of the novel will be coming in at twenty four pages, and will introduce most of the protagonists of the story. My sixteen page prologue has been cut down to two pages, and I will be putting in a bit of exposition and possibly even a map. This book will be available early next year, and I'm aiming to get the second part out next year as well.
I will also be self-publishing a compilation book to include the first few pages of chapter one alongside some shorter strips from the other titles I've been working on. I had hoped it would be finished by Christmas, but I've picked up a couple of commissions for paid work over the festive season, so it's now looking like it might be January before you can actually buy a copy!
That's all ages away, so I'm going to be uploading the finished pages of all the titles to facebook.com/alxnorth, probably at the rate of one a week, and I will be uploading the first one on Friday 7th December. You can already find a couple of complete strips there to whet your appetite.
Please let me know what you think, your suggestions and feedback will help me to continue to improve as a writer and artist, and help me decide which titles to develop.
I hope you enjoy my doodles.
Peterborough Zombie Walk
EID Mela 2012
Thanks for all the applications for the Creative Peterborough Fund! We have had 9 applications requesting a total of £29,170, with £13,000 available.
The results will be announced early in November.
As Creative Peterborough announces our second round of grants up to £4000 for groups and organisations this seems a good time to reflect on what happened in the first round. I hope this will help those applying to the second round.
There were 12 applications, totalling £36,653, with funding of £13K available. This told us that there is clearly a demand for funding, and ideas for projects. And that we didn't have enough to fund everything.
The Creative Peterborough Committee discussed all the applications and in some cases asked for more information to ensure all could be compared fairly. Information missing included:
- Breakdowns in the how the money would be spent. We don't need itemised billing but asking for a lump sum means we can't identify what is being spent on artists (which is very important to us), and how much is being spent on getting the art out there (also important.)
- Background information about the group, including track record, connections with the communities they wanted to work with, and how they were going to manage the project.
The applications then went before a panel which included two independent assessors who have experience in funding and arts management. The applications were discussed in detail and scored on the following criteria (ranked in importance):
Although not expected to meet all, these criteria were used to rank the applications and the panel then awarded funds to four projects that provided the strongest evidence of:
These were:
Snap-Back - A project with young people led by community organisation Step-Up, which used the development of skills in photography to explore issues of image, self-esteem and identity.
St John's Church – Funding the activities around two artists' residencies, a poet and a visual artist, over the next two years
Blok Collective – Development funds to move the organisation into a more sustainable business model, paying for fundamental support such as office infrastructure, mentoring, improved online presence and partnership funding for a programme of projects.
View5 – Funding to research and develop their residency with a local countryside trust and exhibition of work to engage communities with the rural landscape, and to use this work to build new relationships across the region.
These projects will be reported on in the blog as they are completed.
As an artist-led group it's been an interesting, and challenging, process for us to go through the business of soliciting, appraising and variously rejecting and supporting funding applications. We hope we have done it with the courtesy and within a timescale that is acceptable – and that by writing this overview it will encourage new groups to successfully apply.
The deadline for submission for the second round of The Fund awards is 21st October, and more information is available here. We are happy to discuss ideas for projects and support the development of applications – just get in touch via firstname.lastname@example.com
We look forward to hearing from you.

A panel consisting of at least 3 Creative Peterborough committee members and 2 independent members will allocate funding.

Electronic stealth license plate cover

Posted by robiferretti on Jan. 05, 2007
lol: saw some glass like this before. its a type of glass they put over the plated that does this..it's like 700$ per square meter for it though.
Ok...: So instead of the cops seeing your number. They will see a picture of your car without a license. Wont be hard to find you if you do it more than once.
Instead of having the number disappear: have it show the plate number of someone else that has the same car
cool: were can i get one of those
follow the link dumbass: derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
plate: where can i get one?
but!: if u own a lambo with 700$ u can totally wipe ur a$$ out... ^^
oops shit... nevermind: I thought it was the same product I saw before where the plate was a LCD with a laptop inside the car and you could display anything you wanted.
goto: hideaplate.com
You don't need a square meter...a square meter is 35 times larger than a license plate.

Makoto Shinkai's 'Kotonoha no Niwa' Trailer [Graden of Words]
Takao, who is training to become a shoemaker, skipped school and is sketching shoes in a Japanese-style garden. He meets a mysterious woman, Yukino, who is older than him. Then, without arranging the times, the two start to see each other again and again, but only on rainy days. They deepen their relationship and open up to each other. But the end of the rainy season soon approaches …
The trailer is stunningly perfect in every way…the animation, the music..and I love the story. Brings back all my '5 centimeters per second' feels. Looking forward to this very much.
Really. Can't wait

Two things you need to know first :
1-In Megaman Zero , there is a reploid named "Omega" who looks like Zero. Omega has the real body of Zero but he hasn't got the real heart.You have to beat "Megaman Zero 3" to understand that so Omega is nothing about that Copy X !
2-The Evil doctor is called Dr. Weil in Megaman Zero series, not Dr. Wily.
The flash is long : Don't complain while watching Its full of action after the first scene. ;) ^^
Hi everyone, after a long while: I'm here with my new flash - Now with lots of new features and voice acting. I'd like to thank all the voice actors for their support and I'm so glad that I've worked with NG's best voice actors.
This flash's story was orginally for the "Megaman Group Project" I had started. And we were going to make the best group megaman flash for NG with Ng's best megaman flashers.Unforunetly everyone kept leaving and joining to the project and I was the only one working so I've cancelled the project. If we had continued we could have rocked NG
- But (*sigh) It seems like, some of them underestimated me back then.
Anyway I've worked for 3 months to finish this.I know I should have done "Megaman - Real Adventure 2" by now. But don't worry everythings gonna be alright.Also lately I have became a big fan of Naruto so at the end of the movie you can get some naruto action. :P
Again I've added some cool extras, there is a scene selection part as well : but to unlock these features you need to know the "password". For the password, simply you have to watch the movie till the very end ;-) (Credits is a part of the movie) The password will be shown there.
You can press "Space "button anytime to go back to the menu while watching...
I also forgot to thank Gino for a sprite sheet in the flash so I'm doing it here.Thanks Gino ;)
Well, I dunno what to say now. I'm so glad to have this submitted.I'd like to thank everyone for their support - and feel free to talk to me through MSN : email@example.com - I'm a nice guy XD
Also: The Flamezero forum had been opened. I'll be very happy If you join and start posting ^^
Well, thats all for now. ;)

Rated 5 / 5 stars March 14, 2011
This is one of the best megaman series i have ever seen and i haven't even played Megaman Zero before and now i feel shame and pity that i haven't (must get all 3 tomorrow o_o),the voice acting was amazing with the whole flash being like a movie or what now and also it had some amazing sprite flash skills and the length of just one episode is almost as long as an episode of a TV show and it's a whole series so it would be like a movie itself which is extremely impressive,i must defently check out part 2 real soon,you are doing an excellent job so far.

Lucinda and her mum, Meryl
Gifted student Lucinda Childs has been caring for her mother for as long as she can remember.
But it was only when she reached the age of 16, and noticed her friends weren't rushing home after school to care for their mums and dads that she realised she may be a little different from her peers.
Now 18 and studying towards a career in teaching, Lucinda, of Rhydyfelin, has spoken out about her life as a Young Adult Carer as part of Rhondda Cynon Taf Council's Carers' Week 2014.
And she hopes that by sharing her experiences, and promoting the support and services that are on offer, she can reach out to others and ensure they receive a helping hand also.
Lucinda lives in Rhydyfelin with her younger sister, SammyJo, 12 and her mum, Meryl, 36, who has a complex mental health illness that can leave her unable to leave the house for days on end and completely reliant on her oldest daughter for everything.
As a result of Meryl's illness, Hawthorn High pupils Lucinda always has, and remains, the "head" of the household, in charge of all tasks from shopping and bills to cleaning and making sure her little sister does her homework.
Lucinda says she has never ever known any different and works hard now to not only support and care for her mum, who is very frustrated by the impact her mental illness has on her life, but also protect SammyJo from the situation.
She says her caring role is demanding, but has also allowed her to enjoy an incredibly special and close bond with her mum, who she says she "loves more than anything in the world" and who has struggled to overcome her health issues in order to give her girls a "happy childhood".
Lucinda, who is studying A Levels in Maths, Physics and Biology, as well as a Welsh Baccalaureate, with a view to attending university and becoming a maths teacher, said: "I have cared for mum for as long as I can remember and really didn't know any different.
"I had such a happy and loving upbringing with my mum, who is my best friend, and never thought we were any different from any other family until I reached about 16, and realised none of my friends were rushing home from school to care for someone.
"That made me realise I may be different, so I sought advice from the Young Adult Carers Team and I would thoroughly recommend anyone in the same situation as me also makes contact and sees what is on offer.
"I would never change my position for the world. I love my mum, I love my family and I am really glad I have the opportunity to provide care for my mum. She suffers so much and she hates the fact she cannot do the things she wants to do – for herself and for me and my sister.
"Yes it does mean I have missed out and may continue to miss out socially, but I have gained a whole level of experience and responsibility that I would not want to change.
"I am certain there are many young people like me in Rhondda Cynon Taf who are caring for a parent or a sibling without even realising it. I would urge them to make contact with the support team and see what is out there.
"I still care for mum as I always have, but now I have support. I attend a group regularly, which is good as we are all the same age, so can chat about caring, support each other or just have some fun socially. We link up outside of the support group locally, or via social media.
"There are also away days and activity days which have been great fun, a chance to meet new friends and offer a little respite. When you are a carer, you can miss out on experiences other people our age take for granted, and the support service allows us to access those social times.
"There is also support with health, finance, budgeting, extra-curricular activities and more."
There are hundreds of people of all ages in Rhondda Cynon Taf who care for someone else who, due to illness, injury or a disability, is unable to look after themselves. Thanks to the hours these unpaid carers give to their family or friends, they can remain happy, safe and independent in their own homes.
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council salutes and supports the efforts of each and every one of these incredible volunteers and recognises each carer needs specific support that meets their needs.
It has dedicated support on offer to meet the needs of carers.
For example, many carers are adults looking after a spouse, parent or child. There are also young carers who are children and need dedicated assistance to allow them to care, but to also flourish and grow themselves.
Young adult carers is the newest service, launched after it was identified older children and young adults needed support to care and also needed support to ensure they did not miss out on social, academic and personal experiences.
"There are hundreds of children, young adults and adults just like Lucinda who have willingly and happily committed their lives to caring for a loved-one.
"We commend each and every one of them and aim to repay them for the work they do by delivering an exceptional Carers' Support Service, which has dedicated help on hand for carers – no matter how old they are or their personal experience.
"Our service has a range of things on offer, from peer groups and coffee mornings to social experiences, activity days, legal and benefits workshops and more. There really is something for everyone and the entire service is designed around meeting the needs of carers, helping them to care but also ensuring they don't miss out on personal, social, educational or employment opportunities."

White Associates are a Bristol based Chartered
Building surveyors covering the Bristol, Bath,
Chipping Sodbury, Gloucester, Cheltenham and Swindon
areas. Robert White MRICS is a RICS (Royal Institution
of Chartered Surveyors) member.
can carry out the Homebuyer
Survey and Valuation Service on most properties,
or the more detailed Structural
Property Inspection also known as a Building Survey
on properties that are old or have been altered, or
Limited Inspections to discuss specific defects.
Please refer to the attached web-pages for details of
the type of surveys available and how to select the
appropriate type for your proposed purchase.
are by prior agreement, based upon the size, age and
location of the property.
quoted are fixed, include vat and are not subject to
the addition of extras. We will make the inspection
as soon as possible and your report will be released
on receipt of your payment.
Cover The Following Areas: North
Somerset, Bristol, Glouscestershire, Wiltshire,
Worcestershire (southern area) and South Wales
- Gwent, South Glamorgan Mid Glamorgan and Monmouthshire
(southern area).
Have a Survey? Your
mortgage lender will commission a valuation, a
copy of which is likely to be made available to
you, but it is only a valuation to ensure that
the loan is adequately secured upon the house,
it is not a condition survey.
Sadly, many
people take more care buying a used car than buying
a house. They will check the log book and the
service history, take it for a test drive, most likely
be covered by a 12 month warranty and take out a finance
agreement for a year or three. By comparison,
most mortgages are for terms of up to 25 years, a house
will not be covered by a warranty, it will require regular
maintenance to keep it in good condition and many houses
will require initial expenditure soon after purchase
to put right existing defects. There is no recourse
to the purchaser is defects come to light and in some
cases the property will be uninhabitable while repairs
& improvements are undertaken.
Can You Answer The
Following 10 Questions?
Remember, to make a really
informed decision on such a large an important investment as a home
is importnat to have a professional survey of the property . Before
you decide to go ahead and commit yourself legally, you can help
to minimise the risks by asking a qualified surveyor to help you
to answer important bur basic questions like:
Commissioning your own
survey is the simple, economical way to avoid unpleasant and perhaps
very costly surprises after moving in. In some cases the surveyor's
report may enable you to renegotiate the price. Even if you are
seeking a mortgage and may be paying for a Mortgage Valuation report
it is still advisable and prudent to arrange a survey by your own
surveyor. The Consumers' Association Which? magazine and the Council
of Mortgage Lenders both give this advice. The reason is that a
Mortgage Valuation report is prepared for the lender and not for
you, the borrower. The report answers only the lender's questions
concerning the appropriate security for the loan and will be unlikely
to give you the more detailed information that you may need about
the condition of the property and any underlying problems and potential
risks further down the line.
RICS members also
offer surveys which are specifically designed to help homebuyers:
A Building Survey is suitable for all residential properties and,
property inspections provides a full picture of their construction
and condition.
Need a Chartered
Robert White Associates are Chartered Building Surveyors. Although
based in Bristol Robert White Associates also cover areas including,
Chipping Sodbury, Gloucester, Cheltenham and Swindon.
Robert White MRICS is a RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors)
member with more than over 30 years experience in conducting pre-purchase
property surveys.
Some of the important services that Robert White Associates provide
include surveying services for residential and commercial properties.
These include pre-purchase and structural / building surveys.
Why Choose a Chartered Surveyor?
Chartered Surveyor is a term applied to a profession where the professional
has a broad range of skills and knowledge based around 3 main areas
of land, property and construction and there are different types
of surveyors within these areas. As a member of the Royal Institution
of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) a Chartered Surveyor has a relevant
/ approved degree in the first place, and worked in their surveyor's
job to achieve the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC).
Passing this important professional qualification takes years (at
least 2 years training), demonstrates proof of professional integrity,
shows that the surveyor's work is regulated by a professional
organisation, and allows the surveyor to then use the MRICS (Member
of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) after their name.
By engaging the services of a Chartered Surveyor you are therefore
choosing a person who meets the minimum academic standards for chartership,
and has demonstrated dedication to lifelong learning, professional
practice, accountability and ethics. The work and study involved
in achieving this qualification means that you are also likely to
be choosing a person who has a good level of experience and knowledge
in matters relating to land, property and construction.
A Chartered Surveyor can assess the value and condition of a physical
property such as a house or a construction project. They can also
help to plan the creation of a new development, give advice on obtaining
planning permission, renovating a property, or many environmental
issues. Chartered Surveyors have property expertise and experience
in dealing local authorities.
Taking these things into account you may therefore decide that when
it comes to matters relating to what may well be your most important
and expensive investment (your house or property) it would be beneficial
to get a professional opinion from somebody who can conduct a thorough
investigation and give you high quality advice. A Surveyor may also
have access to information, and services, and have the experience
to look at the evidence before them in a way that you may not.
Using the Services of a Chartered Surveyor for Residential
Residential surveys and valuations are very important ways in which
Surveyors supply vital support to anybody who owns or is involved
in a transaction of ownership of property. The advice provided on
the housing market and the condition of a property from a competent
source can help people to make well informed decisions about what
can be potentially high risk purchases and investments.
Chartered surveyors also provide vital advice to lenders for valuation
Using the Services of a Chartered Surveyor for Commercial
Chartered Surveyors also provide a number of important services
related to the buying, selling, management and leasing of commercial
/ business premises. They also play a role in landlord and tenant
negotiations. Besides providing valuations of commercial land and
buildings Surveyors can also help with the management of commercial
property portfolios.

Get your Speedorz ready, LEGOLand Florida's all new expansion is opening on July 3rd, and will be ready for kids of all ages to explore and adventure all while keeping an eye out for the precious Chi! LEGO Club sat down with Candy Holland who works with LEGOLand Florida to hear a little more about this awesome new part of the theme park. Tell us a little about what you do? My title is Senior Creative Director for Merlin's Resort Theme Parks worldwide, including all the LEGOLAND Parks and Hotels. That means my team and I work with each theme park and the Merlin team to help come up with exciting ideas for new rides and attractions. Once we have agreed a project, I oversee the development of the design, working with my very talented creative designers… from the initial concept, all the way through to the building and opening of the attraction. We imagine all aspects of the experience… everything from the Story (the adventure), through to the ride hardware (the physical experience), the "Theming" (what it looks like), the audio and video (everything you hear and watch), the interactivity (everything you do)… everything that uses your senses and imagination to create a fun and exciting ride or show. How did you research to design the World of Chima? Did you watch the TV series on Cartoon Network? Absolutely – we watch some of the TV shows. We also played with the LEGO Legend of Chima Toys! We also met with the LEGO head office (the toy designers themselves) to learn about the Legends of Chima, especially as it was so new and not even in the shops when we started developing our new land for Florida! It's great fun researching for a LEGOLAND attraction. As an adult it's a great excuse to play and think like a kid again! What was the first step in bringing the LEGO Legends of Chima to life at LEGOLAND Florida? Creating the Story for the area and the main ride, and working out the role that the guests would play, was the first step. We then started bringing it to life with sketches, models, and written descriptions, so that families can experience the World of Chima for themselves. Once we have agreed on the basic story and idea, we then start working on the details of the design and experience, working with a huge team of specialists. It takes a lot of people to create the World of Chima – all with very different but important roles to play in the process. What did you think were the most important parts of Chima to create at LEGOLAND Florida? There are visually some iconic parts of Chima that we felt we had to recreate – such as Mount Cavora, the Lion's Temple, the Chi Pool, Cragger's swamp, and the Speedorz, to name but a few. However it is the characters within Chima that add the adventure and emotional engagement, so we've also represented the different Tribes and main characters (such as Laval)… which when all combined together will really immerse you into their world. Can you tell us about how you created the story in the Quest for CHI water ride? We took the core essence of the story of the Legends of Chima and compressed it right down to the core principles… The Lion Tribe and Laval protecting the sacred Chi from Cragger who is constantly trying to steal it. Therefore for the water ride Cragger DOES steal the Chi, and you have to help get it back and save the world of Chima! What is your favorite part of this process? While the process of creating an attraction like this is exciting, the best part is when it's all completed and we get to watch the guests experience it for themselves. Seeing people's reaction, laughing, screaming, playing, and having fun together is fantastic to see and extremely rewarding! Discover more about the world of LEGO Chima by heading over to LEGO.com/chima!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
This is a problem that has only been exacerbated by the fact that everyone who has a "tank" class wants to be a tank now that it's the cool thing to do. Before Wrath, my guild had me and a Protadin as tanks. Now ... there's 2 Warriors that previously were only about DW Fury who want to tank, 2 Druids, and 4, yes 4 Paladins that were previously healers. Now, we're left lacking on the DPS and the heals ... but full on tanks. Having rerolled to DK with the expansion, I'm relegated to either taking out the trash or just all out DPSing, despite the fact I'm dripping in tanking gear, and in a healthy tanking spec, not a DPS spec. So, in short. I feel your pain.

TEAMS: Michigan Wolverines, South Carolina Gamecocks
The Big Ten versus the SEC in the Outback Bowl! If that alone does not get your college football excitement going there may not be much that does. Both Michigan and South Carolina came into the season with very high hopes. A combination of injuries and inconsistent play killed the Wolverines BCS hopes early in the season. South Carolina also suffered the same misfortune along with playing in the very tough SEC. These two teams are nearly mirror images of each other with the way their seasons went. The team that walks out of Raymond James Stadium victorious will have high hopes and momentum headed into the 2013 season. However, the losing team will cap an end to a long season with many questions headed into next fall.1. Denard Robinson's play making abilityWhile Denard Robinson came into the season with dreams of a heisman trophy his continued struggles as a passer took some playing time away from this phenomenal athlete. Not to mention a nerve injury to his throwing arm ...

Purchasing can be a very powerful event in life. If you don't believe this, think about people you know who gain self-esteem or a sense of accomplishment from shopping. Participating in commerce is a validation of personal autonomy in many ways. It can also be destructive. In a consumer-driven culture, many people find themselves drowning in debt. This debt can be an all-consuming drain not only on financial, but on emotional resources as well.
Consequently, dreams of buying may be a psychological warning as easily as an affirmation.
To interpret a dream of buying requires the dreamer to think about what was bought, why it was bought, and how it was bought-cash, credit, check, or good looks. Dreaming of buying on credit may reflect a desire to acquire or control, or it may reflect a warning. In exchanges of this nature, the object bought should be closely considered. Buying staple items on credit may reflect a deep-felt insecurity about one's circumstances and future. Buying luxury items could be an attempt to compensate for inadequate self-esteem or wanting to strengthen one's public stature. Trying to buy items (or food) without money may reflect a sense of incompetence concerning financial or other matters. It may also reflect a sense of unmet needs in emotional transactions.
What and who are you buying for, and from whom? If the merchant is known (e.g., spouse, business associate), the goods are essential, and the end user is yourself, you may feel that you are not fulfilling your end of the bargain in a relationship.
Being able to buy items without money is a powerful projection of control, public acceptance, or a sense that you are owed much favor. In these cases, the items purchased and the identity of the seller will provide major clues to the meaning of the dream.

This is a "hot summer day"-meal if there ever was one. And it is HOT here. I look forward to not even reheating this in my sweaty, disgusting apartment tonight. It's crisp and fresh on the tastebuds. While it's not the pinnacle of exciting eating, if you need something fast at the end of a long summer day, this dish is your man (or food, or whatever).
Mediterranean Pasta (modified from a Cooking Light recipe)
-8 oz whole wheat penne (or 1 cup uncooked orzo), cooked according to pasta directions
-2 oz sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (mine were packed in oil--but you can soften up the non-oil-packed variety by boiling in a cup of water for a couple minutes, then chopping)
-1 green pepper, chopped
-1 red pepper, chopped
-1/2 small-ish red onion, diced
-4 oz mushrooms, quartered
-2 tablespoons olive slices
-4 oz feta, crumbled
-2 tablespoons Italian flat leaf parsley, chopped
-1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
-1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1. Cook your pasta.
2. If necessary, boil your whole sundried tomatoes in 1 cup water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and chop.
3. Mix everything together in a bowl (keep the pasta hot--don't rinse with cold water), and serve warm.

Fact Sheets: Protecting Women from Gun Violence
See also: Women Under the Gun by Arkadi Gerney and Chelsea Parsons
Five women are murdered with a gun in the United States every day, most often by an intimate partner. From 2001 to 2012, 6,410 women were murdered in this country by an intimate partner using a gun—more than the total number of U.S. troops killed in action during the entirety of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. A key factor in reducing murders of women is, therefore, preventing dangerous domestic abusers from having easy access to guns.
There are four policies that states and the federal government should enact to block domestic abusers from buying and possessing guns and prevent murders of women:
- Bar all convicted abusers, stalkers, and people subject to domestic violence restraining orders from gun possession.
- Provide all records of prohibited abusers to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS.
- Require a background check for all gun sales.
- Provide law enforcement with the tools necessary to ensure that domestic abusers surrender guns in their possession.
Some states have already enacted some of these policies, but many are falling short in enacting strong laws to protect women from fatal gun violence. For more information about the law in specific states, see the following fact sheets.

- Arizona
- California
- Colorado
- Connecticut

Short Stack
You will all learn that I like to nickname the men I go out with. This particular gentleman I lovingly named short stack. He was my first POF date. Short stack was gorgeous, BUT a red flag should have gone up in my head when out of 10 pictures he did not have even one of his whole body…you can all see where this is going. Now, I am fine with short men. The twisted part of me even likes it….but that is for another post. Red flag number two should have popped up when he tried to make me drive to Dearborn to go to a coney island. First off, I don't drive for just anyone and second, A CONEY! Enough said. So, the time came for our date and of course I had butterflies as I was walking out to his car. When I got in I notices how far forward he had his seat, he was almost swallowing the steering wheel! When we got out of the car I could have fallen backwards. For those of you who know me know that I am not all that tall…well he was a couple of inches shorter then me and was a little person. Yes, you read that right kids. We proceeded inside to eat and have a nice date where the main topics of conversation was death and lots of other depressing topics. When he drove me home I invited him inside (don't judge me, I felt bad), we watched Out Cold and he got mad at me that I wouldn't cuddle with him. I don't know you so no thanks…and I was sure me laying on him like that was some sort of suffocation hazard. Needless to say we didn't go out again. When I told him I thought we were better as friends he was not happy and barked back that he "has enough fucking friends." Another one bites the dust…

- Got A Question?
Microfiber towels have been increasing in market share because they work well, and there are many good products out there, according to Joe Gartland, the owner of Towels by Doctor Joe. However, there are things that must be done to keep these towels working well. For example, Marketing Director at ERC Wiping Products Danielle Harsip warns to never wash microfiber with terry towels. Here are the basics you'll need to know to get the most out of microfiber towels.
Read also: PC&D April issue
- Microfiber towels must first be washed before they're used, due to a finish on the towel, Gartland said.
- The towel then needs to be dried at "very low heat, if not air dried," said Gartland. If the towels are dried at high heat, the fibers will melt together. Harsip warned that drying at high heat is the main reason microfiber towels are ruined.
- Color-code the towels, and only use them for specific jobs, notes Gartland. "Keep them separate, and wash them separate," he said.
More articles on: Detailing
- There's a right towel for each job, Gartland said. A small black towel is good for door jambs, for example, because the oil will get on the towel, and you don't want the oil getting on the entire vehicle.
- After frequent use, a microfiber towel will go from bushy to the fibers clumping together, and it will become less effective. Harsip said detergents should be used for washing the towel. She also recommends adhering to all directions for the product. "Follow the care instructions on the tag, such as cold water washing, no fabric softener, no bleach."
When microfiber towels are treated well, they'll last for a long time, and provide great value for your wash, Gartland said. Follow these steps to help make sure that you get the most out of them.

Jesus Calling....So Pick up.
Around Christmas, my young cousin handed me a neatly wrapped little package and said that she hoped that I would enjoy the book; it happened to be her favorite daily devotional titled Jesus Calling. More than anything I appreciated the sweetness of her gesture, especially considering the tight budget under which she lives. Eventually, I knew I would get around to reading through it, but I definitely did not rush. However, when Lent came, I decided to make a point of taking time out each morning to read a page each day.
It's simple. It's clear. It's beautiful.
Now, I find that Jesus Calling is everywhere.
When a co-worker was stressing about new responsibilities, I mentioned that she might want to buy this book.
She already had it...said that she depended on the words to help her survive the transition.
When my sister was anxious about the changes in her family dynamic looming on the horizon, I mentioned that she also may want the support of Jesus Calling.
She had it downloaded on her phone.
Another co-worker reads the book everyday as well...the way one might digest a morning vitamin.
Recently, one of our lovely Catholic sisters at school seemed as though she would enjoy a boost, so I bought the book for her as a small gesture of appreciation. After she opened the package, she kept it in her work room for others to enjoy.
One of the building managers came to her this morning.
He heard she had a book.
He shared the fact that he needed a little spiritual lifting because his son is going to be deported soon.
Sister gave him the copy right then and there.
In my opinion, that is what Jesus Calling is for...to pass on to others and....
To let the reader feel a sense of encouragement each day.
To let the reader know that he/she is not alone.
To let the reader find peace even in the midst of confusion.
Jesus Calling.
I'm very glad I picked up.

Where did circle time go?
- Have a focus ready. This can be as simple as a question or two. For example, in what way was your week great? In what way was it el-stinko?
- As the adult/leader, I go first and share something that happened to me that the students don't know and that could possibly surprise them. I make sure to emphasize my dorkiness whenever possible. Laughter is good.
- Have lollipops or some other treat to keep the mood light. Gummy bears work great.
- If I really think I may have trouble with participation, I've even added another prop like play-dough so that they can have something to do while they talk about whatever is on their minds.
- When circle time works (and the kids don't think they are being held hostage in some nightmare after school special) then I learn precious many things....how funny they are, how resilient they are, how stressed they sometimes feel, and how much I just enjoy being in their company.
Yes, it's true the the technology education movement is on a meteoric rise and teachers are strongly encouraged to keep their classroom paces cyber-friendly, brisk and efficient. But please, let us not become so web-driven and jaded that we forget to be human with each other....that is, without a doubt, the good stuff.
Which is why, in my not so humble opinion, circle time will always rock.

Mother to Son by Langston Hughes
Well, son, I'll tell you: Life for me ain't been no crystal stair. It's had tacks in it, And splinters, And boards torn up, And places with no carpet on the floor -- Bare. But all the time I'se been a-climbin' on
And reachin' landin's, And turnin' corners, And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now -- For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

The Subject of the Matter....
No Matter How Small (A Respect for Life Poem)
Plain or pretty
Skinny or Fat
A person's a person
I like it like that.
And if you speak funny
Like some of us do..
Guess what? You're a person!
Oh my yes. It's true.
Are you somewhat nutty?
A bit off your rocker?
You still count my dear friend
(I know it's a shocker!)
If you have some limbs
That don't work so well,
You're 100 percent people..
This fact I do tell.
Do you like to eat liver?
(Though I think it's gross).
That still makes you human
And to you I toast!
Your brain may be slow
or yet, fast it may be
But the fact still is this-
You suit God to a T.
Perhaps you are old
And your skin doesn't fit.
But that doesn't matter
Not one little bit...
Or maybe you're tiny
And can hardly be seen
You are no less a person
To say so is mean.
Because you ARE a person
The most awesome of all...
And a person's a person
No matter how small.
