Good holiday season forecast as retailers adapt to the "experience economy"
Do you go shopping so you can get out of the house and go somewhere that reflects your personal values? Then you are probably between twenty-five and thirty-four years old, and you are part of the "experience economy." Shoppers in that age bracket, otherwise known as the Millennials, and indeed most Canadians, rate buying things as one of life's greatest pleasures. Nowadays, however, they also want it to be a beautiful and memorable experience.
Which is why the new Nordstrom department store at Yorkdale Mall looks the way it does, with a soaring atrium, high ceilings, plenty of windows and natural light (no more "fortress" mentality at Nordstrom, says the retailer), and beautifully designed space. Nordstrom says "psychological research" has shown that spaces with high ceilings and openness allow shoppers to be more "explorative" and creative. A space like this will be a destination in its own right, with its beautiful things for sale, its café, bar and art collection. The company even has an art curator to select what gets displayed in the stores.
Expanding its number of stores—the Yorkdale store brings to five Nordstrom's total in Canada—may seem counter-intuitive, given that market research firm IbisWorld Canada is forecasting that the department store sector will shrink over the next five years. High-end retailers like Nordstrom, however, are considered likely to thrive, as average disposable income increases and those experiential shoppers seek beautiful stores in which to splurge on expensive goods.
If Ernst and Young (EY) is correct with its latest retail sales forecast, Nordstrom and many other retailers will have a very good year end for 2016. EY says Canadian retail sales are expected to grow 3.5 per cent this holiday season, though the forecast comes with a warning that reflects the experiential shoppers' demands. "Consumers are seeking convenience, customized offerings and convergence," EY consumer products specialist Daniel Baer said in a statement. These are the new "three Cs of retail," he said. Retailers must make it easy for shoppers with multiple ways of buying, all offering a consistent experience—from email promotions to mobile apps to store visits to online shopping. "Cross-channel retail is not a trend: it is a retail imperative, and the very survival of retailers depends on the seamless execution of this strategy," Baer said.
Some of the factors at play in the expected retail bonanza are lower gas prices, less cross-border shopping, the federal middle class tax cut, and "moderately" resilient consumer confidence, according to EY. Top gift choices are predicted to be clothing, toys, electronics, jewellery, and gift cards, the latter for "services and experiences" like restaurants, shows and spas.
This means retailers must make shopping easy by offering multiple ways to buy and return products. At the same time, retailers can't forget about compelling offers to encourage consumers to visit their physical locations, not just online stores. Finally, mobile phones need to be part of retailers' holiday strategy, as they're increasingly becoming the number one way shoppers search for and purchase gifts.
While that is good news for retailers, there is a bit of a cloud hanging over the industry. The federal government is considering raising the $20 threshold on foreign goods that Canadians purchase online and import without taxes and duties. Public support for raising the threshold, which is the lowest in the industrialized world, is strong. Given that Canadians who travel to another country are allowed to bring in up to $800 in duty-free purchases, why are online shoppers limited to a paltry $20, especially when online shopping is becoming more and more common?
The Retail Council of Canada (RCC) has an answer. Increasing the threshold even a little would "devastate" its members, making them uncompetitive with online retailers, mostly American, and forcing them to lay off workers. Retailers in Canada would have to collect sales taxes and duties on the same items as those sold in Canada. This would give the US merchants a tax advantage of from 5 to 15 per cent, RCC says. The group wonders why the government would want to give a tax and duty advantage to a US retailer at the cost of a Canadian employer who creates jobs and economic activity in this country.
Despite the RCC opposition, however, other industry players, including Shopify, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters are in favour.
So far, the government has said only that it is considering the possible impact that waiving duties and taxes could have on Canadian businesses as well as on the various governments' administrative costs.

I've been planning blogger meetups in Vancouver for a couple of years now. One of my biggest dreams was to be able to organize a blogger-related conference, and this year that dream has finally come true! This fall, together with my fellow bloggers and good friends Jordana and Angela, we've put together a half-day mini conference for beauty and fashion bloggers based in Vancouver – Blog and the (Van)City. Our vision is simple – to bring together local bloggers and share experiences and tips on blogging, including how to grow audience and readership, how to start and maintain networks with companies and PR professionals, and anything else related to blogging. This year, the theme is non-professional bloggers. There are tons of smart, passionate non-professional bloggers in Vancouver who blog in addition to working or studying full time, and we feel that these bloggers work extra hard to be able to juggle both priorities. Beauty and fashion bloggers alike must take time out of their busy schedules to take photos, test and review products, which isn't easy. The event will take place on Saturday, September 14th at 1:30PM at Metropolis at Metrotown. At the event, you will be able to network one-on-one with companies and PR professionals in an intimate environment. In addition, you will be able to ask all of your blogger-related questions to experienced bloggers and learn their tips on how to grow your audience. To register for Blog and the (Van)City, please visit here. Tickets are $10 and is to cover the cost of food and drinks at the event. Please register early as we are limiting the number of spots in order to create an intimate environment. If you're not yet convinced, here are some more reasons why you should attend Blog and the (Van)City:
- Be able to speak to and learn from other bloggers
- Meet with company and PR representatives in a closely knit environment
- Ask all the questions you want with regards to blogging and people are open to sharing their tips with you
- Most beauty/fashion-related events take place in Toronto; Vancouverites want to have some fun too!
- The awesome-sauce goody bags that you will be getting
- Potentially meeting life-long friends, like what happened with me!
Some of the industry professionals you will be able to meet at Blog and the (Van)City include Brandi Halls, Director of Brand Communications for LUSH Cosmetics North America; Cynnamon Schreinert, Media Representative for London Drugs and Bard on the Beach; Gemma Bishop, Account Coordinator and Social Media Specialist at Hawksworth PR; and more. Some of the AMAZING sponsors who will be providing products include LUSH, Revlon, Annabelle, Marcelle, Almay, and MORE! Visit here to request a registration form. We look forward to seeing you there!

I loved doing movable projects and hanging projects that fluttered when the air stirred. I also always tried to have an interactive board that the children could leave their desk and move about the room with a purpose. The Pumpkin Patch Match could be any subject. Actually you could put up a different subject each week of October. Ideas: review math skills/concepts recently taught; spelling words and definitions; homonyms, synonyms, antonyms; states and capitals; landform names to definitions.....

Our module was using Adwords & landing pages to capture these leads & then sell them. It seems like it was going to be a good deal to work out. I thought I would come along, see what & how others utilize methods to generating genuine leads. I have some tips & tricks. I live & breath adwords, know most the ins & outs. How do you get customers. I have some, but I would like to have more. Would be cool to connect with others who might be doing the same thing. Peace out, Tony

Acta on the brink as MEPs prepare for key vote
By Benjamin Fox
The future of controversial anti-counterfeit treaty Acta remains uncertain as MEPs on the European Parliament's trade committee weigh up whether to approve or reject the deal.
Four European Parliament standing committees have come out against the treaty, but the International Trade committee, is responsible for presenting the assembly's recommendation.

It is set to adopt its position on Thursday (21 June). David Martin, the British centre-left MEP tasked with drafting Parliament's response on Acta, is urging the committee to reject the deal. However parliament sources suggested that the vote could be tighter than previously thought.
Both the centre-right EPP group, which is comfortably the largest party group in Parliament, and the eurosceptic ECR group, are proposing rival amendments to keep Acta alive. A full Parliamentary vote in Strasbourg would then be held in July.
Although Digital Agenda Commissioner Neelie Kroes appeared to admit defeat on Acta during a speech on internet freedom in Berlin last month, MEPs have come under mounting pressure from the commission and pro-Acta lobby groups over the last month to delay their decision until the European Court of Justice (ECJ) releases its legal opinion on the treaty.
International Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht, who led the EU's negotiating team, will speak in favour of Acta before MEPs take their vote. He referred the treaty to the Luxembourg-based Court in March calling for clarification that it does not compromise EU laws on data privacy.
Swedish MEP Christofer Fjellner, the EPP spokesman on Acta in the committee, has proposed an amendment for parliament to ratify the treaty. Justifying his stance, Fjellner insisted that "the ACTA agreement provides a useful basis to (the) fight against counterfeit products and ensures an adequate protection of consumers and companies alike."
Meanwhile, Syed Kamall, a member of the ECR group, is urging the committee to suspend its decision until after the court has delivered its opinion. Both political groups are said to view a delay as a compromise to avoid a full veto. The parliament's Liberal and Green groups, along with the Socialists, have stated their intention to reject the deal.
In a move indicating that EU governments are preparing to take out the most controversial elements of the treaty in a bid to pacify MEPs, German Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger suggested in a recent interview that Acta could be salvaged by removing the provisions on copyright from the treaty.
Ministers and EU officials are aware that any re-negotiation of Acta would require the consent of existing signatories to the treaty, including the US, Japan and Australia.
However, internet freedom campaigners remain unconvinced that the treaty can or should be saved.
Joe McNamee, director of pan-European digital rights campaign group EDRI, insisted that a "cherry-pick" approach would fail. "[This] wouldn't solve the problem that the safeguards are almost all sophistry, smoke and mirrors."
"Either the renegotiation would be so superficial as to fail to solve ACTA's many problems, or it would involve the same exclusionary approach as the first negotiation", he told this website.

DNA is like a deck of cards. If we passed them out, one might not even get much of a certain DNA. When you look at Winnie's grandmother below--you could easily imagine a Native in her bloodline. The first photo is Mary Ann's mother! I conclude the Wyandotte Native blood comes from Mary Ann's father. Let's say he was only half Wyandotte. That would give Mary 25 percent, Merk would get 12, Winnie 6 percent, and Paul 3 percent---but if Mary Ann's father was only a quarter native. Mary Ann gets 12.5 percent, Merk 6. 25, Winnie 3 percent and Paul only about 1 to 2 percent which is what his test showed.
generation one Full blood
generation two 50 percent
generation three 25 percent
generation four 12.5 percent
generation five 6,25
generation six 3. 125
generation seven 1. 6
generation eight less than one percent
The Sorenson DNA test goes back 8 generations. Winnie's Wyandotte ancestor is not that far back in her tree.

We all have prejudices we're not even aware of—but they don't have to govern our behavior
In a recent study, social psychologists show that for maximizers, whether you feel good or bad after making a decision is not only a result of which option you chose, but also the process you took to make the decision.
San Diego -- Trying to resist that late-night tweet or checking your work email again? The bad news is that desires for work and entertainment often win out in the daily struggle for self-control, according to a new study that measures various desires and their regulation in daily life.
It might be a lucky pair of socks, or a piece of jewelry; whatever the item, many people turn to a superstition or lucky charm to help achieve a goal. For instance, you used a specific avatar to win a game and now you see that avatar as lucky. Superstitions are most likely to occur under high levels of uncertainty. Eric Hamerman at Tulane University and Carey Morewedge at Boston University have determined that people are more likely to turn to superstitions to achieve a performance goal versus a learning goal.
Gossip is pervasive in our society, and our penchant for gossip can be found in most of our everyday conversations. Why are individuals interested in hearing gossip about others' achievements and failures? Researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands studied the effect positive and negative gossip has on how the recipient evaluates him or herself. The study is published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
People's emotional reactions and desires in initial romantic encounters determine the fate of a potential relationship. Responsiveness may be one of those initial "sparks" necessary to fuel sexual desire and land a second date. However, it may not be a desirable trait for both men and women on a first date. Does responsiveness increase sexual desire in the other person? Do men perceive responsive women as more attractive, and does the same hold true for women's perceptions of men? A study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin seeks to answer those questions.

Michael Brissenden presents AM Monday to Friday from 8:00am on ABC Local Radio and 7:10am on Radio National. Join Elizabeth Jackson for the Saturday edition at 8am on Local Radio and 7am on Radio National.
AM 40th Anniversary - a look back at the history of the ABC's agenda-setting morning radio program.
Wednesday 21 May 2008
AM is Australia's most informative morning current affairs. It covers the stories each morning that the other current affairs teams follow for the rest of the day. Below is the program summary with links to transcripts and audio (if available).
Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz has questioned whether interest rates are the best way to fight inflation, saying both developing and developed countries need to abandon inflation targeting, or risk damaging their economies.
The ACTU President Sharan Burrow says the huge salaries paid to Australia's corporate chiefs are obscene. Ms Burrow says that as she is trying to get a modest increase in wages for QANTAS employees, CEOs are getting millions of dollars a year. The Macquarie Group has announced its outgoing chief, Allan Moss will receive a $50-million payout package.
The Australian Medical Association has commissioned the firm, Access Economics, to analyse the Government's Budget measures. Its report concluded the Government decision to raise the income threshold for the one per cent Medicare levy surcharge will see 800,000 people quit or fail to take out private health cover -far more than the Government's estimates.
The Federal Health Minister Nicola Roxon has rejected claims that the Government has got its figures wrong on people leaving private health insurance as a result of its Budget measures. Ms Roxon says the AMA's report is "confused" and "incomplete".
Hundreds of parents have protested in the south western Chinese town of Juyuan, demanding that criminal charges be laid against the people responsible for building the schools that collapsed in the recent earthquake. The protest hasn't been reported by the state-run TV channels.
The age and health of the presumptive Republican nominee, John McCain, has become an issue in the US presidential race. Senator McCain is planning to release his medical records to deflect criticism that at 72, he'd be the oldest first-term president in America's history if he won office.
It's now a decade since the late Indonesian President Suharto stepped down after 32 years in power, but not everyone is happy with the pace of change in a country still plagued by inequality and corruption.
Research has found nanotechnology could carry the same risk to human health as asbestos. The technology is used widely in sporting equipment, where the use of particles just billionths of a metre in size change the properties of the materials used.
It's been suggested the HECS scheme should be extended to millionaire athletes who could then pay back some of the money they receive from the Government while they're training. But the head of the Australian Sports Commission says trying to recoup costs wouldn't be worth the effort.

So load shedding was a scam to make a white arshole stink rich…
Well, that's what the experts say. A damning Eskom report released by professional auditing firm Deloitte has found that the country's mass blackouts and load shedding was engineered as part of a senior Eskom manager's plan to get wealthy through irregular contracts.
BusinessTech.co.za reports this is the second such report released in as many weeks.
Law-firm, Dentons, released a report in early February also pointing to the possibility of criminal activity related to the emergency procurement of "blackout" coal. This reportedly happened under the watch of lead procurement negotiator, Koos Jordaan.
If this is true – let's hope criminal charges will follow soon (Ed.)!
The report reads: "It would appear that Mr Jordaan, and other Eskom employees, circumvented the prescribed Eskom tender policy and procedure by appointing suppliers under the emergency mandate when, in fact, these services did not relate to the emergency period and should have been dealt with under the normal Eskom procurement policies and procedures."
"From the interviews conducted, it appears that the 2008 emergency was not managed in the best interest of Eskom and resulted in fruitless and wasteful expenditure being incurred."
Deloitte noted that Jordaan was given the task of buying more than R10-billion worth of emergency coal during the 2008 power crisis, much of which he and other Eskom employees distributed to known associates through irregular contracts.
Jordaan resigned shortly after the investigation was launched and is currently the senior executive of a private coal company.

In the recent years after my return to school, a favorite part of English class was poetry...
I decided to go back and look at some of my favorite poets, including some recommended by others. The timing on finding this gem a second time was priceless. Listed as one of the best in poetry, I love the stories that unfold with her words in verse. Born in Maple Heights Ohio, her poetry can be both uplifting and imaginative, imploring you to travel with her.
The Journey by Mary Oliver
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice--
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do--
determined to save
the only life you could save.

Monday 21 October 2013 (Moon)
Moon – waning – 90% visible. Moon is in Gemini at 17:13 BST
Moon in Gemini
Sociability, cheerfulness and quick-wittedness are on the increase, and there is an interest in all kinds of information. The Moon in Gemini favours study, intellectual pursuits, acquaintances, conferences and gatherings. However, heightened changeability and scattering your interests can prevent you from getting definite, tangible results.
In the body the sign of Gemini is associated with lungs, upper airways, arms and hands, clavicles.
Lunar Day 18
A more-or-less positive day. It favours the beginning of long-term projects, especially those aimed at earning money. It is an appropriate day to seek medical advise and treat your health, but chronic diseases can also be aggravated on this day.
This day requires prudence and temperance. A child born on this day will prove to be industrious and hard-working, with years he will become prosperous and rich.
The one who falls ill may stay ill for long and never recover. Dreams, as a rule, are valid.
Symbol – the mirror. A passive day that can become difficult and bring falling into sin through unwillingness to fight the lowly instincts and temptations. One should work on one's evil thoughts, renounce one's from vanity and egotism. it is okay to go to baths, to cleanse intestine, skin, to have a massage. On this day, the surrounding reality as if reflects our inner essence. It is undesirable to drink wine, smoke, sleep too much, eat meaty food. Nuts and plenty of vegetable oil are preferred. Skin diseases and opening old wounds are the signs of violation of the law of cosmic evolution.
Moon Void-of-Course: Ends at 17:13 BST
*US and Canada (with exception to New Brunswick, which will subtract 4 hours from the times given above) please subtract 5 hours from above times on east coast and successive time zones will subtract an extra hour(+5) according to time zone you're in
Sunrise: 07:35 BST; Sunset: 17:57 BST
U.S. and Canada:
Sunrise: 07:29 DST; Sunset: 18:49 DST (add one hour for New Brunswick, Canada) – these are East coast times. Please look in your daily newspaper or online for the times where you are located in the US and Canada. It would be quite impossible to fit them all here, sorry
The planetary hours will begin with Moon for the first hour, 2. Saturn, 3. Jupiter, 4. Mars, 5. Sun, 6. Venus, 7. Mercury, 8. Moon, 9. Saturn, 10. Jupiter, 11. Mars, 12. Sun
In order to figure the planetary hours exactly, figure out the total hours between Sunrise and Sunset (in your time zone), then convert into minutes. Divide by 12 and this will be the exact planetary hour time for each. Remember to accurately figure the sunrise and sunset for your time zone first.

Four Queries You Need To Discuss With Regarding Porcelain Veneers
By: kylie mills
For those people that take pride in a good looking, shining white smile, porcelain veneers really are particularly fascinating alternative. Dentists happen to be implementing these veneers to successfully restore broken teeth, misshapen teeth, stained teeth, perhaps even unexpected dental breaks. According to Dr. Gallon of Vancouver Smile Studio, badly fitted veneers, or even worse, veneers created from materials that aren't supposed to be used to create them, can severely break teeth.(read entire article)

hi ppl need some help did a few tests today first one came back two lines second one had the same but one line was lighter.
20/05/2016 at 14:25
The darkness or lightness of the lines do not matter did you use the same urine sample to do both tests? First morning urine is always going to produce you a darker line until later on in your pregnancy. urine use from later in the day will be diluted as you intake more fluid through out the day. but a positive is a positive I would call your gynecologist and request them to do a blood test to confirm congratulations!

This is the rest of the pics I took this weekend and at the beginning of the week. First, I repeated the recipe for the really good dye job I did - 2 packets of grape at 12, 2 packets of cherry at 8, and 20 drops of blue at 3. I was curious to see just how different it would end up being!
Looks different already, doesn't it?
And here it is with the first one! First batch on the right, second on the left. Same, yet different. I'm just a little disappointed that the blue didn't come out as vivid on the second batch as it was on the first.
Here's 30 drops of neon purple on the right side and 30 drops of neon pink on the left side.
The purple didn't really come out. Next time I think I'll add a little blue. It's pretty nonetheless.
Next, I decided to try another technique: ball dyeing. It was a great way to dye all the little ends left over, the short lengths, but also the yarn that was used to join the various pieces of the shirt together - this one came apart so easily that I was able to keep even the joining yarn, which was slightly different from the main yarn. Frankly, on the photos, I can't tell them apart...
Wind (or re-wind) your yarn in loose balls so that the dye can penetrate somewhat. The lower right thing is not a ball; it's a hank with a big knot tied in it.
Dye everything blue. They take a long time to cool off!
Then, once they've cooled enough that you can rinse them safely (remember, you can't change the temperature too quickly or they'll felt!), you rewind them so the dyed parts are on the inside.
Here's what it looks like when you start rewinding. On this pic you can start seeing some undyed yarn at places where the individual yarns crossed each other.
Halfway point
Almost all done now! I was surprised this much dye made it to the middle.
All done!
Submerge them again (I ran out of white vinegar, so I used cheap cider vinegar - smells much better!)
And dye them purple! Because not a lot of fiber is exposed to the dye bath, it takes longer than usual to dye. This batch wouldn't clear so I left it in the slow cooker to cool overnight. The water was clear by morning!
Here's the final result! If I were to redo this, I'd know that the purple isn't quite as potent as the blue, and using 45 drops of purple to 30 drops of blue might have worked better. Pretty anyway.
I also took apart two sweaters
This second one was a big disappointment. Not only the shoulder seams are cut, which is the usual (if annoying) way of things, but the *armholes* are cut too, which means that at least half the shirt comes out in short lengths. It's a shame because it would have been really, really nice wool. Next time I get one like that, I think I'll felt it instead and sew something with it.
The worst part is that I seem to be allergic to that wool! I was in full-blown allergies on Sunday, hypersneezing fits and runny itchy nose and everything... I can't work on it more than about half an hour. Look at the colour of my hands after I spent something like 4 hours working on the shirt watching the last day of the Olympics! Didn't hurt, didn't itch, but the colour was very unnatural...
I shouldn't be surprised. I am, after all, allergic to most animals...

5 Reasons You Should Write A Blog Post
5 Reasons You Should Write A Blog Post
There are myriad reasons why you should write a blog post. Consider this: At any time of the day I have so many thoughts rolling around in my head that if I didn't stop and capture them, they would disappear like a wisp of smoke. I do make a practice to capture them all in my Evernote app. When I go back and look at them later, they may be viable or they may leave me scratching my head as to why I even wrote them down.
Here, though are my reasons why you should get your thoughts out of your head and into a blog post.
5 Reasons You Should Write A Blog Post
Inspire Someone
You just never know if what you write will inspire someone or make a difference in their life. You don't know what your reads are facing and what you write today just might offer them hope or perspective. Your personal struggles and the way in which you face them could be the impetus to pull someone out of a funk and motivate them.
Voice An Opinion
I am very opinionated, but I rarely voice what I really feel in my blog posts. I keep my political views to myself. I am honest about being a Christian, and having a higher spiritual belief, but I don't want to debate theology with you. If, however, you're willing to put yourself out there and let the chips fall where they may, your blog is your platform to do just that.
The More You Write, The Better Writer You Will Become
It just makes sense. The more you practice at something, the better you will become. If you have always wanted to write, then begin writing. You should also be an avid reader if you want to be a great writer. Play with words. Have fun with them. Delve into them so you understand their nuances and how to put them into a grammatically correct sentence.
Confront Your Fears
Every day I am scared of something. Breast cancer thoughts rear their heads on a regular basis. I worry about growing my business. Are my children all right? Will Henrietta start limping again? Is it my turn to cook dinner? Etc. Etc. When I sit down to write a blog post I can confront my fears and work them out on the page. Many times when I have written my fears down, I can work through them and find they weren't nearly as big as I'd originally imagined.
Share Your Experience
You may be experiencing something that can help your reader. If you're a writer, you may be writing about how to put together an editorial calendar and that could help another writer or a business owner. Perhaps you're a dog walker who has come up with an ideal way to walk multiple dogs without having an issue with tangled leashes – share that!
What are your best reasons for writing a blog post? I'd love to hear them! I'd also love to hear the reasons you're not blogging.

American Girl is Retiring Samantha – Share Your Story
One of the things I like most about American Girl dolls is the stories that are written around each of the dolls, especially the historical dolls, like Samantha: An American Girl (The American Girls Collection/Boxed Set). Yesterday they announced the retirement of one of their most popular dolls, Samantha, and have set up a site where you can leave your own Samantha message or story.
For all the details, visit DollDiaries.com and read about how you can help us say Farewell to Samantha.

Friends of Crystal Springs Library Post
The Friends group is asking for donations to help purchase two laptop computers for the library. Their computers are several years old, two have completely stopped functioning.
Having computers for public use is vital! Patrons conduct job searches, research, and type papers for school or college. Many people are sent to libraries by their employers to download and print check stubs and tax information. Children come into the library to find school projects online or sometimes just simply want to play games.
The computers that we would like to purchase for the library are HP Laptops, 15.6 HD display, 4GB Memory, and 500GB Hard Drive with Windows 10. The cost per computer is approximately $288.
Donations may be made to: Friends of J.T. Biggs, Jr. Memorial Library, 200 S. Jackson St., Crystal Springs, MS 39059
Thank you for your continued support of one of our town's greatest assets!

War Service Library
How did librarians fit in to national security in the 20th century? In an array of ways, says Cara Bertram, an archivist for the American Library Association. Libraries were established at hospitals and military bases.
"In both wars, librarians back at home or on the front were key in collecting and distributing books to soldiers," Bertram says. "During World War I, librarians maintained camp and hospital libraries," and in both world wars, "librarians promoted books drives and encouraged donations."
Librarians were especially active during World War I. The ALA reports that between 1917 and 1920, its Library War Service established three dozen camp libraries with the support of the Carnegie Corporation and raised $5 million in public contributions. Special uniforms were created for librarians in World War I. The American Library in Paris— established in 1920 by the ALA and American expatriates, and seeded with books from the LWS — continues to this day. Source: American Library Association

As we see that Uncle James is now in dream and now starts suppressing his nephew to do work according to his will and decide what he likes and also threatens his to use the power of money against him in 3rd lecture. Philip feels very much pain that us uncle want to have a row with him, so he decides to reject his jam business. At this point Uncle James bursts up at his nephew and abuses him saying 'young puppy'. Now Philip also becomes angry reacts very severely to his uncle. When his uncles expresses his power of to use the money, Philip dis-hearts and says to his uncle, "that's rather awkward, isn't it?"
Now Philip also decides to show his power in his own style, taking out his revolver from his pocket and fondles it affectionately. Watching th revolver to Philip's hand make uncle James startled and now his all anger cools down. When Philip aim at his uncle, his uncle frightens completely and says to his nephew to put the empty revolver down, but Philip confirms that it is now empty, it is loaded. This things make Uncle James to kneel down in-front of his nephew. After sometime uncle James recovers his fear and tells that he will not be pressurized by Philip's this act and say to his nephew, " I don't know what the object of all this tomfoolery it, if it has one. but you understand that I expect you to come to the office with me tomorrow at nine o'clock. Kindly see that you're punctual"
Here Philips shouts in parade voice, "Stand to attention when you talk to an officer". This act makes Uncle James nervous and now tries to make his nephew understand that he cannot kill an Englishman in England but Philip is not convinced by uncle Jame's argument. Here Philip tells his uncle, "but revolver often go off incidentally. You said so yourself,. This is going to be the purest accident".

Smokers trying to quit smoking will now have access to a unique interactive online resource to help them make informed decisions about the best way to give up smoking based on their individual circumstances.
The online toolkit "Quitex" being launched by public health charity ASH Wales today has been designed to offer a new approach to quitting smoking by providing personalised support for smokers based on user feedback.
Quitex will provide visitors with information about the available options and methods to help them quit, allowing them to assess the positive and negative features of each, and to support them in their decision regarding the best method for them.
The Quitex website will guide users through 6 key steps:
- Step One - About you
- Step Two - How addicted are you to Nicotine?
- Step Three - Your previous attempts to quit
- Step Four - Different ways to quit
- Step Five - Your decision
- Step Six - Planning ahead
The information provided will generate a personalised printout of the individual's results which they can take to their stop smoking counsellor, GP or pharmacist to discuss their quit attempt with them.
Quitex will email the user with a follow–up survey after 6 weeks to see how successful they have been with their quit attempt. They will also be followed up at 6 months and 12 months with email surveys. The information will be used to help improve the website and to further research on quitting smoking.
Elen de Lacy, Acting Chief Executive of ASH Wales said: "We are delighted to launch this new unique online help for smokers. We know that the majority of smokers want to quit but the addictive nature of cigarettes means that it is difficult for them to do so. One of the issues we are aware of is that smokers need information and advice to steer them in the right direction. This online toolkit will help those smokers decide the most appropriate method for them.
"Quitting smoking is very individual and depends on an individual's particular circumstances. This is another option for smokers who do not want to go down the formal process of being referred to a counsellor. Smokers need services that suit their particular needs and lifestyles and Quitex does just that."

The last few days have been great even though it is FMT (Full Moon Time). The past few days we've
had a lot of visitors and they were all fun visits. In between that, I've been busy doing ranch work and trying to catch up with all of the paperwork, phone calls, e-mails, etc. and during my breaks from that I've been deep cleaning The Cabin and I am making progress with both. Thank goodness.
I have some great news, too. This past week, Gerry Olert, our good friend and our official videographer for the rescue ranch, because he is the Best Videographer In Texas, finished editing the new video that he made for our rescue ranch. And to say the least, "We Totally LOVE It!"
I don't know if y'all remember me blogging about Gerry, Tony and me meeting up with our good friends, Kent & Ruth Buzzi Perkins, at the YO Hotel, last month, so Gerry could film them talking about our Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch, because they love it. And they are huge supporters of it and have been for over 18 years.
I hope that y'all will check out Gerry Olert's latest, fabulous video that he did for free for our rescue ranch, because like Kent & Ruthie he loves our Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch. Please note that you can watch it at: www.utopiarescue.com or you can click here.
Our good friend Chet O'Keefe called me about an hour or so ago and we just got off the phone, because we had a lot of catching up to do, so that's it for tonight. And tomorrow, I promise to write more.
And Gerry's video also stars, our good friend, Dr. Craig Janssen, DVM, at Hoegemeyer Animal Clinic.
Y'all have a great evening!
Kinky Friedman, Cousin Nancy (Nancy Parker-Simons) and Tony Simons founded Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch in '98. Friends Willie Nelson, Billy Joe Shaver, Spike Gillespie, Richard Pryor, Jerry Jeff Walker, Molly Ivins, Dwight Yoakam support the ranch. We primarily rescue dogs.

PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, PLAINTIFF-APPELLEE,v.JOHNNIE A. WELLER, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Macon County; the Hon. DONALD
W. MORTHLAND, Judge, presiding. Reversed and remanded for a new
This is an appeal from a conviction of murder upon trial by jury. Defendant was found guilty and sentenced to serve forty to sixty years in the penitentiary.
The defendant assigns as error the admission of a confession into evidence on the grounds that it was not voluntary error in the People's opening statement, in that statements of fact were made which were never received into evidence, and prejudice by the length and detail of the opening statement. Further, the defendant asserts there was error in the denial of his request for a change of counsel. He also asserts failure of the People to establish a corpus delicti, improper instruction of the jury, and improper closing argument of the People to the prejudice of the defendant.
Defendant, Johnnie Weller, and his half brother, Phillip Guthrie, were arrested and indicted for the murder of Howard Richard Goodin, a Decatur barber. Weller was 17 years old at the time of his arrest and had completed the first semester of his junior year in high school.
Goodin, a Decatur barber, was reported missing, having last been seen by his sister on July 25, 1967, when he was driving his bronze 1966 Chrysler automobile. A week and a half or two weeks thereafter, his sister, her husband and Detective Derr of the Decatur City Police, entered and searched his apartment but found nothing to account for his disappearance.
Suspicion focused on Johnnie Weller and his half brother, Phillip Guthrie. Detective Derr inquired as to these men of a friend of theirs and learned the friend had received a postcard from defendant mailed from Florida. Derr telephoned Florida police searching for Weller and Guthrie. About a week later, in Decatur, Derr arrested Guthrie in a car with Weller's brother. The next day Weller was arrested without a warrant by Decatur City Police.
This arrest, prior to any then known offense and without a warrant, was early on a Saturday morning around 5:00 a.m. on August 19, 1967. Defendant was questioned by the city police at about 9:00 a.m. on the day of his arrest. He refused to talk to the police. Questioning resumed an hour later and continued for about two hours. Again that evening, at 11:00 p.m., defendant was awakened by a police officer and told to give a statement. He refused. Once more during the night he was awakened by a police officer who, defendant testified, swore at him when defendant again refused to make a statement.
During his confinement defendant's mother visited him four times. Detective Derr talked to her at least three times on the telephone. On Sunday, August 20, 1967, defendant's father and mother visited him. Just prior to this visit they were told by Derr that defendant "could possibly be charged . . . [with] murder"; that if he made a statement "he could probably be brought up on a lesser charge . . . with a light sentence." The father related this conversation to defendant. Also, Derr on that day told the parents he was not going to "bother" with Guthrie but "was going to concentrate on" defendant.
Mrs. Weller (defendant's mother) visited him on Monday morning. Just prior to her visit Derr told her it would "be easier" on defendant if he would make a statement. Derr told her he could not tell defendant this, but that she could, and that if he would make a statement maybe the prosecutor could make allowances for his age. She told these things to defendant. He told her he was going to talk to Derr. Immediately after his mother's visit defendant told Derr he wanted to talk about the case. Defendant testified that when he told Derr this, Derr told him it would "go easier" on him. The police then drove defendant to a cornfield to which he directed them, and where the body was found. The decomposed remains of the victim, Howard Richard Goodin, were found in the cornfield with hands and feet tied together with a rope. Upon return, a written statement was prepared from an interview with police and an assistant State's Attorney, but defendant refused to sign it. This statement was the confession introduced at the trial.
Defendant filed a motion to suppress his alleged written confession based upon unlawful incarceration, age, prior illness, continual questioning by the police and violation of his constitutional rights. The court heard and denied this motion but found that his incarceration in the county jail constituted unlawful detention.
A motion for determination of competency was heard and denied.
Defendant requested a change of lawyers, which was denied.
Upon trial defendant was found guilty and sentenced.
We have reviewed carefully and at length the record in this case and considered the alleged error. Inasmuch as this case must be reversed and remanded for a new trial, for reasons hereinafter discussed, it is not necessary nor would any useful ...

The second trimester of my first pregnancy went by fairly quickly. I didn't feel very pregnant during this time…I had a ton of energy and just felt GOOD. My belly started showing around week 14 and I really popped at week 17. Fruit and milk continued to top the list of cravings.
At our 18 week ultrasound we found out we were having a baby BOY!
The end of the second and all of the third trimester came with some aches and pains, most notably hip and lower back pain that was aggravated by two main things – long days working on my feet and chores at home that involved frequent bending and standing (e.g. cleaning the bathrooms and floors). Reflux/ heartburn showed up at the start of the third trimester too. Fortunately it only reared its ugly head with obviously acidic or fatty foods like tomatoes, citrus, and chili. Since I could almost always anticipate it and manage it with Tums I couldn't complain too much.
Due to my unicornuate uterus I had a few more growth scans scheduled that a standard pregnancy beginning in the third trimester. At my 30 week ultrasound (which actually happened at 29 weeks), they discovered that my cervix had started to shorten. Up until that point it had been between the normal 3-4 cm, but at 29 weeks it had already shortened to 2.3 cm. My doctor didn't express any concern since I was in the third trimester, but scheduled a follow-up scan for 31 weeks. At that appointment, my cervix had gone down to 1.4 cm and was fluctuating as low as 0.9 cm. I was diagnosed with a "dynamic cervix" and put on modified bedrest. Modified bedrest is pretty loosy goosey, so without any definitive parameters I basically just stopped exercising and tried to take it easy (though, anyone who knows me would be able to tell you that me 'taking it easy' is not really a thing that happens.)
Baby boy's head was also sitting LOW – low enough that they couldn't even get a head circumference measurement with the ultrasound wand pressed directly against my pubic bone – so from that point forward I was told I'd have weekly scans to monitor my cervix and baby's growth. At week 32, my cervix was now hovering at no more than 9 mm. I was told that this could mean I could go into labor as soon as the next day or go as far as full term but that it was a complete crapshoot. I needed to seriously honor bedrest at least until the 34 week mark, which is the magical number at which most OB's won't stop labor since outcomes are so good from that point forward.
Fortunately, my 32nd week of pregnancy coincided with Thanksgiving and I had already earmarked most of that week for vacation time as my parents and sister were coming into town from Virginia. I spent most of that week on the couch and my sweet Mama cooked up the Thanksgiving menu that I had planned. Mama and my sister threw me my baby shower the Saturday after Thanksgiving and my in-laws surprised us by flying out from Pennsylvania to be with us too. It was the best baby shower ever.
The Monday after all of the holiday festivities I had my 33 week appointment and was told my cervix had again shortened…to a mere 6 mm. Since my cervix was now nonexistent, I rearranged work plans to primarily work from home that week and crossed my fingers that I'd make it to 34 weeks. I hadn't had any Braxton Hicks contractions or signs of labor at all though, so I was optimistic that I'd make it to at least 35…if not 36 or 37 weeks.
Well, lo and behold, the following Friday, at 33 weeks and 5 days gestation, I started leaking clear fluid and filled 3 Maxi pads back to back in the span of an hour. In the moment I was perfectly convinced that Baby Boy was just jumping up and down on my very full bladder. It wasn't until the the following afternoon that I started worrying about whether I should have gotten swabbed to make sure the fluid I'd leaked wasn't amniotic fluid. So on Saturday, December 3rd just after dinner, my sweet husband Kevin drove me to Labor & Delivery (since the OB's office wasn't open) to get tested. I'll never forget that it was just as the Penn State vs. Wisconsin game was starting and I felt terrible that he was missing it – Kev's Alma Mater is Penn State and hubs is a diehard football fan. Fortunately L&D wasn't busy and I was promptly swabbed.
When the test came back ten minutes later, we were told that I was being admitted right away. My water had broken.

I used to blog
once again things have gotten out of control at the Stone but in a great way.
In the past few days our children's ministry has literally had an overhaul.
we have been emptying storage sheds that were given to us....FULL OF STORAGE CASES AND CHILDREN'S EQUIPMENT! Reloading what we are going to use in Canton and actually having enough left over to get Jasper pretty close to up and running.
It is awesome
Hopefully I will post some pics soon
like the Terminator
NOTE: If you dont get it the Terminator reference.....I'll be back

Scrat the sabre-toothed squirrel's pursuit of his beloved acorns has cataclysmic consequences for an entire continent in the latest chapter of the popular Ice Age series.
Continental Drift finds the computer animated characters all at sea as they race to reunite the disjointed herd.
It's a colourful romp with a generous glaze of mawkish sentiment to hammer home the importance of the family unit in times of emotional upheaval.
