Small Grants
National Lottery funded small grant programmes have been around for quite a number of years now; originally offering grants from Ł500 - Ł5,000, the programmes have been extended in recent years to offer grants from Ł300 - Ł10,000. For the first few years some National Lottery distributors pooled their small grants funding and this was administered by the Big Lottery Fund under its 'Awards for All' programme. Since April 2009 Sport England and the Heritage Lottery Fund have established their own small grants programme. From the outset the Arts Council had a small grants programme of its own. Small grants offer an excellent opportunity to inject funding into small scale sport and physical activity projects that have a total project cost under Ł50,000.
Jenny Warner, our information specialist, has produced an article on the Big Lottery Fund and Sport England's Small Grants Programme for VAGA clients.

Seeing through His eyes- Church outfit12:28 AM
Hola! Happy sunday guys, well we all know what it is right? New posts on sundays. Alright so how was church for everyone that went? and to my none believers, how did you spend your sundays?
As usual, I was at church doing Jesus stuffs which is always fun. It turns more fun when you start seeing the beauty in every flaws and don`t care much if one choir member goes off tone but instead laugh over it and just have fun. Afterall, it`s not about us looking good and perfect, right? It's about Him up there so it's time we start having fun with him and break loose.
As usual, I will make sure I do my little rant. I am just very happy and spontenous nowadays. You know the feeling when you finally break loose of something that you've been stuck to for years. Something that's been changing you, molding you to another image of yourself. And now you are totally relieved and free from it. You just wanna scream to the whole world, you feel better, look better and act better. Some things just get a hold of us and we don't realize it those moments how terrible it really is until you find your way out. What I will say is, if you feel you are on a wrong path, stucked on something, take a moment and say a prayer. It sounds cheesy right but prayers do get answered. Am a testimony.
To the outfit, I was very indicisive on what to wear as usual (never gets old). So I decided to go pair something up with this blazer I got long ago from BikBok that I have never worn. I matched the blue blazer with a blue face cap and my old brown shoes that you guys have seen times without numbers. These shoes are one of my best buys but goodness they hurts after wearing them for hours. You don't feel anything until later so I always take with me an extra pair of shoes (why so much trouble though?).
Those are the basic highlights of the outfit. I hope you guys love it and don`t forget to leave a comment for feedback. Have a lovely week ahead and have fun.
Be good!

Trousers: BikBok
Shoes: A small store

Day 84 - Crumbs
It's been a really busy day at work, followed immediately by parents' evening, so I got in really late and only had time for some toast for dinner before going to bed.
This was all I managed to snap. I painted this plate when I was on my friend's hen weekend. We went to a paint your own crockery place, and so I themed my plate around my beautiful dog!
Day 83 - Sunshine
This is from my garden.
Spring has finally sprung!
Day 82 - Unwind
Day 81 - Pimp my Havs
My sister in law has just got back from Brazil (where she is originally from). Havaiana flipflops are about £2 over there (compared with around £20 here), so she brought me these back from her trip.
There is a local lady who customises flipflops, so my plain old pink ones have been pimped up! I think I like them, but I'm not sure whether they might just be a bit too much!
Day 80 - Celebrate: Camille's Appeal
This week's theme for Camille's Appeal is 'Celebrate!'
It seems appropriate this week as Camille's family have had some good news. They have been told that as a result of her chemotherapy, her tumour was weakened and has partially moved away from the brain stem, meaning that it is now operable and that Camille stands a much better chance of fighting this.
The family still needs all the support possible, so please do continue to visit the website and contribute your own photos to the group pool- donate and support in any way you can!
Oh, and another reason to celebrate - look at that beautiful, blue sky today!!
Day 79 - Old Skool Sweeties
I've seen lots of pictures of this proper retro sweet shop in the Oxford group pool, and when I walked past this afternoon, I could see why everyone had been so drawn to the place. The colours are amazing and the place was just buzzing with retro charm!
Day 78 - Happy Birthday Mum

A Critical Moment in War Effort
There's never a good time for an American administration to air its dirty laundry in public, but the departure of Gen. Stanley McChrystal amid a flurry of sniping and backbiting comes at a particularly inauspicious moment.
The Afghanistan war effort Gen. McChrystal had been leading—and the strategy he personally devised for it—are entering a crucial few months that may well determine their success or failure. Before being dismissed Wednesday for intemperate remarks about civilian officials, Gen. McChrystal had put in place what most analysts consider the most comprehensive plan of coordinated military action and economic development in eight years of warfare. The troops he persuaded President Barack Obama to dispatch to execute that plan are still arriving.
A rising number of insurgent leaders have been killed or detained recently, and, with U.S. help, the size of Afghan security forces has been ramped up about 30% in the last year.
But in recent days, implementation of the strategy, as well as political support for it, have started to look considerably more shaky. A military push into the city of Marjah hasn't been the success hoped for, and a larger operation in the major city of Kandahar has been put off.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai, after briefly reassuring American officials of his reliability, has lately rekindled doubts by firing two cabinet ministers highly regarded in Washington. Allied support is fading; two allied nations plan to pull out next year, and only about a third of the Western military trainers once thought necessary to upgrade Afghanistan's security forces are on the job. American troops in the field have begun to openly question rules of engagement that require a high degree of caution in launching military attacks to avoid civilian casualties.
- Obama Turns to Petraeus
- Swift Decision to Dismiss McChrystal
- New General Is a Politician
- Vote: Do you agree with the decision?
- Photos: McChrystal's career
- Photos: Who's in Charge? A History of Tensions
- Opinion: The Petraeus Hail Mary
- Opinion: Democrats and the McChrystal Fiasco
- Latest updates on Washington Wire
All that raises questions about how secure Afghanistan will look when parliamentary elections, crucial to broadening the Afghan government's grip, are held in September. Soon after that, allies will reassess their commitment to the war. A bigger political test comes in December when Mr. Obama reviews progress on the ground in anticipation of a July 2011 start to an American drawdown.
Now the troubled war effort proceeds minus Gen. McChrystal, its main architect and the one commander President Karzai appears to really trust.
During a video conference Tuesday night with Mr. Obama, the Afghan leader told the U.S. president that he had full confidence in Gen. McChrystal, said the Afghan president's spokesman, Waheed Omar. Firing him would disrupt the war effort at a critical moment, Mr. Karzai argued, with troops poised to begin a major effort to secure Kandahar and its Taliban-infested surroundings.
"The president believes that we are in a very sensitive juncture in the partnership, in the war on terror and in the process of bringing peace and stability to Afghanistan, and any gap in this process will not be helpful," the spokesman told reporters in Kabul.
McChrystal in the Field
Gen. McChrystal made frequent visits to Afghanistan.
On McChrystal's Watch
Key events from his time in charge
Who's in Charge?
A history of tensions between civil and military leaders, in peacetime and in war.
The new commander Mr. Obama named, Gen. David Petraeus, shares Gen. McChrystal's philosophy of counter-insurgency operations, which stresses dispersing troops and civilian aid to secure selected areas and winning residents' loyalty through intense, on-the-ground cooperation with local leaders. Indeed, Gen. Petraeus essentially was the originator of the approach when he was head of American forces in Iraq.
Gen. Petraeus, currently commander of U.S. forces across the Middle East, has a much more solid relationship with President Obama and civilian leaders in the administration.
But he doesn't have Gen. McChrystal's knowledge of Afghanistan or the same trust of leaders there and in Pakistan, an important ally in the fight against the Taliban.
Anthony Cordesman, a veteran military analyst and sometime-adviser to Gen. McChrystal, offers this summary: "Is it winnable? Yes. Are we going to win? That's not a question anyone can answer. This is a war with so much uncertainty."
One immediate risk is that the military command team in Afghanistan could fracture. After arriving a year ago, Gen. McChrystal reshaped the allied command in his image, creating an unusual operation filled with handpicked loyalists.
Military headquarters and the U.S. embassy in Kabul have been filled in the past two days with talk that a departure of Gen. McChrystal could prompt an exodus of other top officers. Speculation Wednesday was that Gen. Petraeus would bring in his own aides.
Gen. McChrystal last fall sold President Obama on a counter-insurgency strategy that called for defeating the Afghan Taliban by sending troops to selected districts, ridding those of insurgents, and working with Afghan forces and international aid officials to hold the areas.
As important as the military effort was a push to use economic aid and Western development advice to build local governments that would win the hearts and minds of the locals.
But agreement on the plan came only after weeks of divisive administration debate. In giving Gen. McChrystal 30,000 of the 40,000 troops he sought to execute the strategy, Mr. Obama insisted on two conditions.
First, administration aides say, he told the general not to use the troops to take any cities or regions he wasn't confident they could then hold. And second, the president said there would be the December 2010 review of progress, and a decision in July 2011 about when and how to begin drawing down American troops.
The contingent of 30,000 additional troops isn't likely to be deployed in full before the end of September, coalition officials say. This means the coalition will be fighting at full strength only 10 months before the deadline for deciding on a drawdown plan—a timetable many military commanders see as severely handicapping their chances of rolling back the Taliban.
Meanwhile, progress on the ground is slower than Gen. McChrystal's team anticipated. That's especially clear in Marjah, where the general sent American forces to drive out the Taliban and establish a kind of showcase of counter-insurgency strategy.
Instead, after besting the Taliban in February and early March, Afghan and allied forces failed to set up a functioning government in Marjah quickly. The result has been a population that remains wary of the coalition forces and the Afghan authorities they back. That, in turn, has allowed the Taliban to make a resurgence, and Marjah today is contested turf.
Violence is up nearly 100% this year across Afghanistan, according to internal figures from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, whose countries provide the allied forces.
Some of that is due the increased number of soldiers; the more fighters brought in, the more fighting there will be, say coalition officials. But they also say it indicates the Taliban aren't backing down but looking to push back. June has been the deadliest month yet, by an Associated Press count, with 76 Western troops killed, including 46 Americans.
In Kandahar province, most troops for the surge have yet to arrive, and the military piece of the offensive has been delayed until September. For now, U.S. and Afghan officials are focusing on the softer parts of the campaign. They're mapping out how to build government offices in surrounding districts, boost the number of police in the city and set up fruit and other farming projects.
Sensing the need to show progress soon, senior military officers have begun to talk less of Marjah and Kandahar and more about a pair of districts in the southern province of Helmand, called Nawa and Garmsir, that were taken last summer in operations designed before Gen. McChrystal assumed command.
Meantime, a drive Gen. McChrystal implemented to minimize Afghan civilian casualties—a strategy based on the belief that a softer, gentler approach would dent the insurgency's appeal to the averge Afghan—has run into internal resistance.
There is growing frustration among front-line troops, who blame spiking casualties on increasingly restrictive rules of engagement. Platoon and company commanders in the southern provinces of Kandahar and Helmand openly speak of having to fight with one hand tied behind their back.
Use of indirect fire such as mortars requires so many layers of approval that, by the time it's secured, the intended targets are often long gone. Helicopter gunships are usually not allowed to shoot if the pilots don't see their targets holding weapons—even if these men had been spotted firing at American infantry just seconds earlier.
The result, troops complain, is that the U.S. has surrendered much of its technological advantage over the Taliban, who can trump coalition forces in an equal fight because of superior knowledge of the terrain and ability to blend in with civilians.
For all the military uncertainty, the key to the war effort this summer may lie more in how well the civilian side of Gen. McChrystal's formula works out. Progress in establishing a coherent rule of law continues to be hampered by the low pay offered Afghan civil servants and judges, for example.
A sense of pervasive government corruption persists, and analysts fear that will continue to be the case until Western nations figure out how to write foreign-aid contracts that make sure money goes to projects and Afghan citizens instead of corrupt political figures.
One sign of how broad that problem remains: A new report from the Center for Strategic and International Studies estimates that up to 40% of all foreign aid "goes to corruption, security and overhead."

Hi there all!
I can't believe that today is already Thursday! Yippeee! Can't wait for weekend where I can sleep in late just for a little. I've finally weaned Baby G off the boobies but she still cry during the night for don't know what reasons. She did not ask for the boobs so I am not offering her either. Just have to pat her back to sleep and just hope one day she will sleep through! 🙂
There was no inspiration at all this morning. I just bring all the stuff out onto the kitchen counter and only decide there and then that I'll do a cat and some fishes…
Bought 2 loaves of bread the other day, a white and a chocolate bread. Yeah, I can be a little crazy sometimes. The thing is, Baby likes white bread and Darrius wanted chocolate bread so no choice… Most importantly, they are eating right? 😀
I used a big round cutter to cut the cat out of 2 slices of white bread spread with some strawberry jam and trimmed the top with the same cutter. The shape was inspired by this book. I added the eye patch with the chocolate bread to have some colors. The 2 fishes are cut out from a wiener/frankfurter. Facial details are cheese and nori. The scales on the fishes were not too clear probably because I did not boil them long enough.
The side dishes are some broiled broccoli, a strawberry, a yellow cherry tomato and some edamame skewers.
I rarely make any kitties (since Darrius refused to have Hello Kitty!!!) bento and so far I think I have only made one about 3 months back.
Guessed that's all for today! Hope all of you have a wonderful day ahead!

He had good reason to make the case, as his men gallantly matched their League One opponents for more than an hour until Joe Heath was adjudged to have hauled down Wednesday's Clinton Morrison in the box. The striker duly stepped up to finally break Hereford's resistance.
Wednesday went into the clash on a poor run of form and with manager Alan Irvine under pressure. Hereford clearly fancied their chances and they wasted no time in turning up the heat on the Scot, taking the lead in the ninth minute when Stuart Fleetwood turned in the box and fired home.
But, to Irvine's relief, his men managed to level six minutes later through a well-worked move finished off by Darren Potter.
The contest was evenly balanced from then on with both sides wasting presentable opportunities to take the initiative. That was, however, until Heath's indiscretion.
The energy that fuelled Hereford's desire to maintain parity ebbed away once Wednesday scored their second and, in the remaining minutes, the floodgates burst open as the home side added two more through a Jermaine Johnson strike and a second Morrison penalty.
The three-goal margin flattered a Wednesday side struggling to deliver on the fans' expectation of a swift escape from the clutches of League One, but Irvine welcomed the respite.
"With the way things are the moment I'd be very naive if I thought I wasn't in a precarious position," he said. "It was a big result for the club, which is the most important thing, and it was obviously a good result for me, too."

Apple, Amazon to join Foxconn bid
The U.S. tech giants will join Foxconn's bid for Toshiba's big memory chip business, its chairman told the Nikkei business daily. Fred Katayama reports.
Apple and Amazon want in on the bid for Toshiba's huge chip business. So says the chairman of their key parts supplier and assembler, Foxconn. Terry Gou told the Nikkei business daily that his company has financial support from the American tech giants in its bid for the memory chip unit. Gou said Apple and Amazon plan to "chip in funds," but it's unclear whether that means they want to get a stake in the business or help finance a deal. Apple and Amazon would not comment. Manhattan Venture Partners research head Santosh Rao said, "All these companies are looking at artificial intelligence, so I think they want to control a little bit of the high performance chips that go into these things." Foxconn, formerly known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, is teaming up with its Japanese electronics unit, Sharp, in its bid. Nikkei reports it's the top bidder so far with an offer exceeding $18 billion. But Foxconn has close ties to China, and Japan's government says it'll block any deal that would result in chip technology leaving the country.

Fresh controversy broke between the government and opposition on Wednesday when Bharatiya Janata Party MP Giriraj Singh made allegedly racist remarks against Congress President Sonia Gandhi, questioning if she would have been "accepted" by Congress if she didn't have "white skin".
In a recorded video, the 62-year-old Minister of State for MSME (Micro Small and Medium Enterprises) asks if Congress would have "accepted" Sonia Gandhi as a leader if she had been of Nigerian origin, alluding to her skin colour.
He goes further, hammering out any doubts to his intent — "If she wasn't a white skin, would Congress have accepted her?"
The comments have sparked outrage amongst Congress leaders, who have demanded an apology from the Prime Minister, and sacking of the BJP MP.
"It has become a fashion to make these kinds of remarks. Earlier too many BJP politicians made statements like this. But this is a union minister, and the Prime Minister must make a statement to explain this," said RPN Singh, former MoS for Home Affairs during the UPA government.
"He is there in the cabinet for these comments," said Congress leader Digvijay Singh, while another leader of the party, Sushmita Devi said it wasn't "befitting" of a minister to make such statements.
Brinda Karat of the CPI(M) too called for an explanation from the PM following Giriraj SIngh's "disgusting comment".
Giriraj Singh crosses all boundaries of shamelessness. Let's see what action the party takes on his sexist, racist comments.Shame on him.
— Priyanka Chaturvedi (@priyankac19) April 1, 2015
Singh was commenting on Rahul Gandhi's disappearance from public eye following his leave of absence from the party. He compared his absence to the missing Malaysian Airlines plane which has not been found for over a year now.

Yeah I did, Norton popped up so I thought why not since I don't have any other anti-virus, is it that bad? On my old laptop I used Malwarebytes and Avira. I'll also get CCleaner again too.
I'll have a look around at all the other programs you've both mentioned and see if I have any use for them, which I doubt but I'll take a look. I clean install would probably be easier but since I've already transferred all my documents I'll just remove programs as I go.
(I installed Tweetdeck myself :P and I've now removed that paragon think since it was useless for me as a trial)

The Clean up factory bloatware steps I gave you include methods to check for System File damage after uninstalling crapware, clean up Disk and Registry leftovers using CCLeaner, then Defrag.
Most important is to keep a Clean Boot so even if they hang around, the bloatware doesn't get to hog System Resources, slow startup/shutdown or spy on you.
|My System Specs

I think the newest versions of certain Norton packages are tolerable, but I don't know about that particular package you have. At any rate, it would not be my first choice.
Particularly avoid Norton Backup.
The standard antivirus recommendation here is Microsoft Security Essentials plus Malwarebytes.
But many people here do use other antivirus with good results--most often AVG and Avast among the free applications.
McAfee is hopeless and Norton is questionable for most of its product line.
There's no need to go beyond Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, or Avast. The more important point is that you use it, keep it updated, and use semi-sane browsing habits.
Malwarebytes seems to not conflict with most antivirus apps, which is a good thing. You might even consider getting the paid version (maybe 15 UK pounds). It's a lifetime license and provides "real time" protection, rather than relying on periodic scans.
|My System Specs

AVG bloated up as few years ago and never slimmed back down, losing its popularity. It's search/toolbar crapware is the cause of a lot of problems. I would stick with Avast or MSE.
|My System Specs
|04 Dec 2011
So far, I have removed Norton and now have Microsoft security essentials and Malwarebytes
I'll run what you said with SFC /SCANNOW, CCleaner and defrag once I'm happy I've removed what I don't want
If I get rid of everything cyber link and easy, what do I use as alternatives for that, you mentioned windows 7 already has things?
All the easy software seems to be by Samsung
I'm using Windows Live Essentials just for the Calendar as I realised it's not separate with 7 as it was with Vista and I used it everyday. Any suggestions for another calendar program that I can also import my old calendar files.

Look over those programs carefully in All Programs list to decide if they're something you want.
Don't uninstall them until you're sure you don't want them.
They cost you only HD space if they're turned off in msconfig as shown earlier. But once they're gone they can only be restored by running Factory Recovery from it's partition or disks - unless you were provided with an Apps disk by Samsung.
Remember to make your Recovery Disks, too, so you have a backup method to restore to Factory condition besides Samsung Factory Recovery run from boot.
|My System Specs
|04 Dec 2011
I don't worry about what applications I need until I have a task I can't currently do with existing apps.
eg: for disk burning, I learned about ImgBurn. For viewing videos, I learned of Media Player Classic. And so forth.
Rather than simply arming yourself with a bunch of random apps that may do most things but are often not the best choice. The apps on store-bought PCs are not there because they are best--but only because they made a deal with Samsung in your case.
Some may be perfectly fine for your purposes. You need to experiment with them and then decide to keep or uninstall.
|My System Specs
|04 Dec 2011
I made a disk earlier from here System Repair Disc - Create is that what you mean?
I also have a system recovery media disk provided by Samsung. And I also did a backup to my external using Samsung Recovery Solution 5. However the backup and restore on my system keeps informing me to run a backup?
|My System Specs
|04 Dec 2011
That is Win7 backup center which can be engaged later to back up incremetally your files and a System Image going forward.
It sounds like you've done your homework with the Samsung Recovery backup and System Repair disk which is used when Win7 won't boot to run Startup Repair, System Restore, Reimage from stored Win7 backup image, etc.
Only if Win7 can't be repaired do you need to worry about running Factory Recovery or clean reinstalling without the factory bloatware as described here: Reinstalling Windows 7
I'm wondering if the Recovery disk provided by Samsung is the Factory Recovery image or a valuable Win7 Reinstallation DVD (without the bloatware). What does it say on the disk?
|My System Specs
|04 Dec 2011
Good that you made a System Repair disc.
Good that you have a System Recovery disk from Samsung.
Re backup--I know nothing of "Samsung Recovery Solution 5". I would not assume it is good or bad. It may be an "imaging" type of application that makes an image of your entire C drive, or it may be some type of file-by-file backup program intended to back up personal data.
The imaging program most used on this forum is Macrium. You need to decide if you want to use an imaging program or not. All they really do is save you the time required to reinstall all of your applications if you have a disk failure of some kind. Otherwise, you would just reinstall Windows and reinstall your applications manually. Imaging programs generally are a bit testy and prone to surprises and disappointment. Not what you'd like to see. But when they work, they save time and can bail you out of a bad situation.
That message you are getting is Windows telling you to run Windows built-in imaging/backup application. It "works", but is inflexible and not intuitive or easily understood. Many here avoid it entirely.

Big Look Task Force
Update on House Bill 2229:
As originally introduced, 1000 Friends of Oregon did not support the recommendations of the Big Look Task Force. However, as the result of testimony from many others at public hearings, and through a bipartisan legislative effort, HB 2229 has been shaped into a proposal that we and a diverse array of others support. The bill was voted out unanimously by the House Land Use Committee and passed by both chambers on June 17th, 2009. To view the history of the bill and read more about it click here.
The bill:
- Creates new "overarching principles" to help the public understand the purpose of planning.
- Clarifies how counties may revisit resource zones, using a comprehensive county-wide review.
- Guides counties in assessing the carrying capacity of rural non-resource land (not farm or forest land) for sparse development
- Reduces confusion in the Regional Problem Solving process.
- Includes an audit provision to prioritize land use provisions in need of updating.
Background on the Big Look Task Force:
The Big Look Task Force was created in 2005 to evaluate Oregon's land use planning program and to recommend improvements to meet future challenges. The Task Force completed its work and submitted its legislative recommendations and a final report to the 2009 Legislature.
Oregon will experience many changes over the next 30 years, providing both opportunities and challenges: almost 2 million more people will call Oregon home; global warming will continue to pose an environmental and economic threat; oil prices will rise; and Oregon's economy will be operating in an increasingly global context. Our statewide planning program, while imperfect, has been remarkably effective in achieving its goals over the last 30 years. We have protected farm and forestland, contained sprawl, and managed growth far better than most other states. To turn future population growth and the challenges of climate change and globalization into opportunities, we must strengthen our land use planning program, not weaken it.
The Task Force report acknowledges that Oregon has a land use system that protects farm and forest land, contains urban sprawl, and manages growth better than anywhere else in the United States. The system can and should be improved, but it makes no sense to adopt proposals to weaken land use planning in Oregon.

Thomas Keller might be the newest target of the vegan foie gras protest, but much like with Bill Telepan, the protestors might be going after the wrong guy. Sure, both Telepan's and Keller's restaurants serve foie gras, but Chef Keller is actually very friendly towards vegetarians and vegans. At his restaurants Per Se and The French Laundry, he accommodates the dietary requests of the diner "as any great restaurant should." And he's collaborated on the cookbook Great Chefs Cook Vegan by Linda Long. I got a chance to speak with him while he was in Boston for a signing for his new cookbook, Ad Hoc At Home. Check out the video below. And if you're curious about his favorite Bay State eateries, here's some insight… while coming up from Providence, he ate at Il Forno, but is also a big fan of Ken Oringer. If he gets a chance, he likes to stop over at Clio while he's in town. He's also looking forward to checking out Oringer's latest project near Fenway: La Verdad Taqueria.

Sister Oscarson: Use Youth Activity Site for Better Activities
Contributed By By Sister Bonnie L. Oscarson, Young Women general president
Article Highlights
- The site has over 165 ideas for worthwhile activities in 10 different categories.
- Mutual activities can play an important role in the personal conversion process of youth.
- Youth will learn leadership skills as they plan activities with purpose.
One evening, when our children were all in their teens, I had the following conversation with one of our daughters: "Mom, I really don't want to go to Mutual tonight. I don't get anything out of it!"
We were living in a ward with a great youth program, and I was tempted to jump in and defend the value of Mutual activity night. Instead, it was one of those rare moments when I was inspired with just the right answer at just the right moment.
I found myself saying to her, "What makes you think you go to Mutual to get something out of it? Maybe you need to go to Mutual because someone there needs something only you can give."
In my idealized memory of this event, she attended Mutual with a different attitude. Even if that is a slightly romanticized ending, I learned something important from that tidbit of inspiration, which has stuck with me through the years.
Of course we attend our Church meetings because we all need to renew covenants, be fed spiritually, and receive strength from one another. Most adults also attend church because it is an opportunity to serve our fellow Saints and the Lord. I wonder how many opportunities I missed when I was in the midst of raising our children to teach them the importance of attending church with the attitude of finding someone to serve.
We live in a time when our youth live hectic lives that are consumed with school, sports, lessons, activities, and other interests. If we are not careful, it is easy for them to begin to feel that the whole world revolves around their needs and their busy schedules.
The youth Mutual activities provide a wonderful opportunity each week for our youth to interact with their peers in a fun and less-formal setting. There is great value in that for many reasons. It is an ideal time for them to extend a loving hand of fellowship to those in their classes and quorums who might be struggling to find their place in the Church and help them feel a part of the group. The relaxed atmosphere is a perfect setting for fellowshipping the less active and for introducing nonmembers to the Church. It fosters an ideal atmosphere for forming meaningful relationships with peers and adult leaders. It is a place for young men and young women to learn how to socially interact appropriately with one another.
There is a wonderful new website online at lds.org/youth/activities that will help our youth and their leaders plan more meaningful and purposeful Mutual activities. It has over 165 ideas for worthwhile activities in 10 different categories. One feature on this site allows classes to spread word of their activity through email or ward calendar options. Another feature is the planning tool that walks class and quorum presidencies through a planning process to help them plan their activities with a specific purpose or individual in mind. This is where real ministering can begin to take place and where our youth have an opportunity to reach out to their peers who are struggling and lonely.
Imagine how meaningful Mutual would be if parents and youth leaders were working together to share their observations with one another. Parents could share with youth leaders what they were teaching and working on in the home so Mutual activities could be planned in a way that would support home learning. Teachers could share what the youth are learning in their classes so parents could reinforce those principles in the home.
Mutual would then be doing what the auxiliaries of the Church are intended to do, which is to support family-centered learning.
Mutual activities can also play an important role in the personal conversion process of our youth. The activities website is linked to the youth Sunday lessons, to Personal Progress, and to the Duty to God program. Activities can be planned to support the gospel principles youth are learning in their homes and classes on Sunday.
For example, after a Sunday lesson on the importance of temple ordinances, an activity might be planned where a family history consultant could come to Mutual and teach the youth how to research and find their own family names to take to the temple for baptisms. An activity where the youth are divided into pairs and role-play answering gospel questions that a school friend might ask could be the follow-up for a lesson on sharing the gospel with non-LDS friends.
An important element of the Come, Follow Me youth curriculum is that youth have an opportunity to live and put into practice during the week what they have learned in their lessons and at home. Mutual activities can help provide that practical application where the youth put the gospel into action.
The activities website is not just for Mutual; it is a wonderfully rich resource of ideas for family home evening activities, young single adult activities, date night ideas, and other group activities. Because there is a sharing tool on this site, new ideas are being added regularly. Imagine the possibilities!
As we use this wonderful new online resource and encourage the youth to participate in Mutual, not only will they have the opportunity to participate in fun and worthwhile activities, but we as parents can also help them see how activities can be a means of making a difference in the lives of others. As they see Mutual as an opportunity to reach out and find the friend who needs a listening ear or hand of fellowship, we teach them to view those around them with a more Christlike love.
They will learn leadership skills as they plan activities with a purpose. They will also have the opportunity to put the gospel principles they learn at home and on Sundays into action. Mutual activities will never be the same.

Of Gods and Mortals - Pre-DEMO Public Beta
Welcome to the OGAM Public Beta created by the OGAM Team. Please take a moment to read this readme before installing the game and playing even if your anxious to get started.
Now, this game was announced early this year and has been in rapid development for some time. At last the game has its first completed land for your enjoyment and there alot of new features in it already.
My first goal was to bring back gods to the game since this was one thing that BnW2 lacked in terms of a god game. This was achieved through a user-friendly script called God AI that handles all the aspects and attributes of a god. The script also presented allies and enemies which allows the player to choose who they want to become friends with by coming to that god's aid or making enemies.
The second thing that came along was the ability to construct buildings that have been placed through script or by the player. This realism brings these gods closer to what is to be achieved and much more is to come.
The second goal was to bring in the fun factor to the game, a meaningful approach that would allow the player to fully customise their experience so that they may choose the path they follow and all cases will have consequences and rewards in terms of story quests and basic aspects of the game changing and shaping with the player's actions that they take.
The third and final goal was to have a story that not only has many ways of playing but also contains a non-linear gameplay story that ultimately leads to the final but through how the player chooses. This has not been included yet.
You may notice as well that there is only one landscape in the DEMO. This is because there is no decided gameplay flow and some barriers like the Goddess and mini-parts of land stories have not been confirmed yet but I am still willing to give everyone a go at the game before anything is confirmed so that you guys may give your last opinions and further input for the game.
And so through all the bickering, traumas and nightmares that ToTC had brought to me I was able to sit down and think about how I would be able to put together a game for everyone and here it is, Of Gods and Mortals.
I thank everyone for their and support and following through the development of the game so far but I still believe their are a number of people that I want to thank. My Team: - Rodzilla - Shinyshoes(and especially for the logo of the game) - Noobus - Hidden Miles - Kain for the work he did up to his leave. Others: - Kays(incl. Kayssplace) - For hosting the OGAM forums and providing help and intuition in creating the game thus far. - Filefront for hosting my many files and too soon OGAM Core game files - Lionhead boards - And most importantly, those who gave their input, followed and full-on gave their support But that's it for now, I present to you OGAM: The DEMO Daxter #################### ### INSTALLING ### #################### To install the DEMO follow the instructions below: (default location C:\Program Files\Lionhead Studios\Black & White 2\) - Landscape files(Land2891.bwe, Land2891.ter, Land2891.wal, Land2891.pat, Land2891_walk.xml) -------> Data\landscape\BW2 - Challenge File(Land2891.chl) -------> Scripts\BW2 - Load Screen(load_screen_2891.bmp) -------> Data - map.txt -------> Scripts - OGAM and MAINSKY files(OGAM.sky, MAINSKY.sky) -------> Data\landscape\skysettings - Background file(background.tga) - when you want to remove this then delete this file, then extract and rename background2.tga to background.tga. -------> Data\Art\Textures - Skeleton texture(t_skeleton.dds) -------> Data\Art\Textures #################### ### LEGAL ### #################### By downloading and installing this game, to agree to terms and conditions outlined by copyright protection as stated in a standard license.

My friend with athetoid Cerebral Palsy is about to have a hip surgery that involves cutting her left thigh bone. I'm not sure but I think she will have a femoral osteotomy. Have any of you had or know anyone who had this surgery? Any advice you guys can suggest to support her through this? She's worried about the surgery itself and being bored while being in the cast. I'll keep you updated on when she has the surgery and her progress afterward.
I hope I never have to have hip surgery myself. Honestly hip surgery scares me. I had a lot of hip X rays as a little kid and never had any issues Thank God. I find it interesting that my friend is an athetoid and needs this surgery. I would think someone with athetoid CP would have less issues with spasticity since they have a mix of loose and tight. Eh, what do I know?

What I want to know is, how can she uninstall the linksys software from her system? She is no longer using the router (has a direct wired connection) and even took the wireless card out of her computer but ipconfig still says her default gateway is 192.168.1.1 and when she puts that into a browser it still gives the linksys login screen. How do you uninstall all the linksys software and revert the connection to the proper IP address?

text: For the past couple of weeks, college basketball fans - and even those non-fans who like to fill out brackets - have been glued to the television, listening to the radio and visiting Web sites to check up on their favorite teams. They've cheered along as teams like Davidson, Western Kentucky and Villanova pulled the upsets, and groaned as losses by Duke and Georgetown messed up their shot to win the office pool. On the XY Page in Sunday's American News, find out how the Phat Four team - Justin Pierson, Emily Arthur-Richardt and Dan Smilloff - has been doing, and what their thoughts are.

Serbia has condemned statements made by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan during a speech he gave in Kosovo on Oct. 23, saying such words "cannot be received as friendly. Hurriyetdailynews reproted"
"In the Republic of Serbia, such statements cannot be received as friendly. They depart from assurances that we get in contacts with Turkey's top officials," the Foreign Ministry said, according to the Serbian news agency Tanjug.
Erdogan had given a speech during his visit to Kosovo's Prizren, in which he said, "Kosovo is Turkey, and Turkey is Kosovo." The prime minister further added that the two nations, Kosovo and Turkey, shared the same history and civilization.
"The town of Emperor Dusan [the greatest ruler of medieval Serbia] is probably the least adequate place for such statements. Everyone in the world knows that Kosovo is a Serbian word, and Serbia's territory, even those who recognized that quasi-state," the ministry said in a press release.
Erdogan, accompanied by the Kosovan Prime Minister Hashim Thaci and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, attended the official opening of a new terminal at the international airport in Pristina on Oct. 23 as part of his Kosovo itinerary.

Starring: Alyssa Milano, Brian Krause, Holly Marie Combs, Julian McMahon, Rose McGowan, Shannen Doherty
Continuity mistake: For season 7, episode 5. In the beginning, Piper is wearing a top with the blue skinny strap on her right. For the rest of the episode, you can see the strap on her left.
Continuity mistake: In the beginning when you see Piper and Paige sitting in the car talking on their cell phones, Paige has hers in her right hand. You can see she has a ring on one of her fingers. In different shots the ring is gone. (00:00:30)Stephen Edmonds 1

text: Scientists at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, North Carolina State University in Raleigh and Lucent Technologies Inc.'s Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J., may have discovered a simple means of producing photonic crystals. They describe in the April 6 issue of Science how blowing humid air over a polymer/solvent mixture produces a lattice with air pockets of a uniform diameter. The researchers believe that the evaporation of the solvent causes water vapor to cool and condense into droplets on the surface of the solution. Because the water is more dense than the mixture, the drops sink into it. The velocity of the airflow over the surface of the solution determines the diameters of the droplets and thus the air pockets they create when they evaporate. The team has created pockets as small as 200 nm in diameter and hopes to produce a photonic bandgap material using the technique.

Originals abstracts are available from my GreenMonBrushstrokes.etsy.com store.
The following is a gallery of previously sold abstracts. If you are interested in art cards or prints, please contact me (email@example.com).
I'm happy to announce that my abstracts have been featured on the 2016 Local Wishlist, the buy-local holiday shopping guide to Nova Scotia.
My abstracts are often created after I've spent a few hours on more detailed paintings. At that point, I don't want to think too much and just want to throw some paint around or just use up my leftover paint. So instead of trying to control everything, I let the paint and brush do whatever they want to do. As such, these paintings often take me unexpected places. They are often about colour, strokes and movement and I never know what image will emerge once I start these.
These paintings are one of kind. Due to the spontaneity of the moment; I can't seem to reproduce them exactly especially the mood.
Your attraction to an abstract is personal; you may find that you prefer the painting to be in a different orientation than how I may have presented it. As such, I often place my signature in a discrete area within the painting so that you are free to turn the painting in whichever orientation that talks to you the most, whenever you wish.

If the 2014-edition Pixies are in full cash-in mode, which seems like a definite possibility, then it is absolutely no surprise to see them licensing their songs to gigantic corporations. But Apple's new iPhone commercial, which uses "Gigantic" to highlight the phone's musical capabilities, is extremely artful as far as these things go. Please no more "Gigantic" arrangements with marching bands, though. Check it out below.

TROY—Sydnii Todd, a junior broadcast journalism major from Birmingham, was crowned the 40th Miss Troy University Saturday afternoon and will represent the University in the 2011 Miss Alabama Pageant.
Ms. Todd was crowned by last year's Miss Troy University, Alison Farrington, and Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., Chancellor at the culmination of the pageant, held at the Claudia Crosby Theater on the Troy Campus.
Ms. Todd, who won the swimsuit competition, is the holder of the Alabama Center for Law and Civic Education Scholarship. She was a Top 8 finalist in Alabama's Junior Miss, was captain of her high school varsity dance team and is a Certified Teen Court Volunteer. She was 2008 Jefferson County Junior Miss.
Her talent was a jazz dance entitled "Working Day and Night," and her platform is "Cell Phone Sense," which centers on texting while driving and mobile manners.
KeLeigh Edwards, a freshman elementary education major from Smiths Station, was chosen first runner-up, while Ariel Tingle, a sophomore elementary education major from Tuscaloosa, was named second runner-up. The third runner-up, Hillary Anderson, a freshman political science major from Rehobeth, was also the talent award winner and was chosen Miss Congeniality. Caitlin Crowe, a freshman broadcast journalism major from Tuscaloosa, was the fourth runner-up, while Courtney Smith, a freshman marketing major from Gurley, was the People's Choice winner.

The leper said two things, one of them being a lie; he said after he had struck his child with his palm, he also pinched him severely with his fingernails.
Recently, in a small family reunion I was invited, I watched as a father narrated a movie to the kids. Unknown to him, the kids had viewed the same film. He went about mumbling the story line, while the older ones feigned attention, one of the younger ones just blurted out:"Daddy it's a lie".
My admonition is on the lies as told by our First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan. I got a lot of cold knocks, but truth is, very little has changed from my submission. Primarily, that the president's wife lied.
My concern not being so much about her lying but the fact that Nigerians have embraced lies as a national past time, from the governed to those doing the governance itself.
Lies are told about electricity. The whole pension administration is filled with filthy lies. We lie about education, which is why four students killed during a student protest due to lack of water in Nasarawa State University and then the president donates some millions for some water project.
The cost of lies to our national development cannot be quantified. So it is fashionable that parents lie to kids, husbands to wife, wives to sisters, employers to employees, and how about those legislative lies on job creation.
Telling the truth is just unthinkable; it has simply become a deviant attitude to be truthful. From the recent past, the truth of the third term remains fuzzy. Many have forgotten the plenty of naira notes on the national assembly table—It's all been lied away.
We will never find out who signed our budget only some four years ago. I have not forgotten the 'god of men' that visited the then president and could not tell the truth about his health status.
I guess this writer should let sleeping dogs lie, and of course that itself is the problem, the dogs don't sleep, they lie continuously. Babangida Aliyu says there was a one term pact, Jonathan says no, show me proof, reminding me of the lies of zoning and some signed documents. They just lie, telling us this, telling us that and doing very little if any in terms of tangible development.
They lied about Chime of Enugu, and Chime then lied to himself. How about the current new improved, okay newly resurrected dame or what have the liars got to say about my brother Suntai, after that no-smile-carry-baby photo play and he's coming back next week which never ends.
The problem with all these lies is how they seem to become the truth after constant repetition; you know that caveat that if you listen repeatedly to a lie, it becomes the truth. One other effect is, it leaves us with a short fuse memory because it's all too dramatic.
When last did a public official tell the truth, I mean say it as it is, and have it on record as having said and stood by it. We just talk anyhow, most times without thought or regard to the consequences.
I recall a visit to Bayelsa then as governor, Goodluck Jonathan told us that by the time he's done with electricity in the sleepy oil state, generators would be a thing of the past—fat lie, till date the generators blare non-stop.
When will we reach the stage in our national life, where truth will triumph, where lies are not necessary, or do we still remain a lie…only time will tell.

I was checking customization upgrade subject since we faced it and I found this interesting note (451934.1)
The note is talking about how to make custom forms that where created and working fine on 11i to work the on R12.
And according to the note
"All custom forms that were build and working fine on releases 11i are designed and compiled using the Form Builder 6i, while the developer version for R12 is 10G.So you need to open the custom forms in Form Builder release 10G and compile them and save then upload them again."
I did not try the solution yet but thought of sharing it since many were asking bout this subject lately.
Also i found the (Custom forms does not work after upgrade to 12i) forum helpful

Denimly Distressed
Why is it that women (and men) pay hundreds of $$$ to have delightfully distressed holes in their jeans?
Why is it that people assume: "I live in a trailer, wear light up shoes and sport a rat tail"
"Joe Dirt's my Daddy"
"Donald Trump's my Daddy"
Things that make you go Hmm???
I say hip hip hooray for distressed denim! And you? Let me guess, you prefer THESE. Mom jeans!
P.S. What the heck are THESE? No, these are not okay unless you are Mary Stuart Masterson in Some Kind of Wonderful.

Adorable little three year old for sale. She comes fully equipped with poop in her panties, has the ability to destroy any shade of lipstick in 5 seconds flat, can chew through a whole pack of gum hiding in your purse in an hour and is guaranteed to turn any room into a complete disaster zone with one twirl.
Any takers? She does like to cuddle and brush long hair.

Mrs. Princess Pookie's Social Calendar
A trip to Pier 1 with Lucy. Now that was blissful! When will she ever understand the phrase "Don't touch!"? Never, I'm sure.
Finally broke in the new RES (rear entertainment system) while driving to Lowes.
Car kid silence...priceless.
My children HATE this store! Unfortunately making rainbows with paint chips isn't fun for them anymore~darn! We've put the home improvement projects on the back burner for a couple months now but it's back to the drawing board. UGH! Where's Carter Oosterhouse when I need him? Just kidding my Prince...you're my Carter Oosterhouse. :D
After we checked out on Saturday, this is how we felt! No shoe shopping for me this week, or next week, or the next. But hey, we finally have blinds. Woohoo! I'd rather have new shoes.
Sunday: Church, rest and a butt load of laundry! How much is a butt load of laundry you might ask??
Lulu played dress up, her favorite game, and came up with this invention. Jammies and mismatched shoes~darling my dear. Here she's striking a pose for her brother. So her...LOVE it. :)

It's FFF (Fabulous Fashion Friday)
The Fanny Pack
Once upon a time a very clever individual invented a do daddy gadget-like purse thingy which clicked around the waist. They came in all shapes, styles and colors, including NEON, and they were the handiest HANDS FREE "stuff" holder around. One ZIP and everything you needed (chapstick, lucky rabbit's foot, Binaca, etc.) was at your finger tips. Who wouldn't want one? They were the perfect invention for men, they were the hottest item in any contest give away and you could wear them at many various points on the waste. I think slightly off center is the snazziest.:)
Why the heck am I blogging about fanny packs? I don't know really but at lunch yesterday I saw a lady sportin' one. Right smack dab in the middle of the city. No trails, no granola bars, no outhouses in sight. Her fanny pack was her purse! Oh dear. It just made me chuckle. And in case you were wondering, she also had THIS haircut. I'm not being rude. I'm just informing you. I think my second grade teacher had this do.
Fanny Pack Fashion:
I actually have this one so of course it's cool. Kidding! But it made a great diaper bag.
This fanny pack~ not so cool. Oh...denim! So versatile!
Another silly little YouTube clip for ya. Yes dumb but I loved their outfits. Note: scroll to the bottom of my blog and hit pause on the music player.
Conclusion: Fanny pack in Europe=cool. Fanny pack in JcPenny=not cool.
Guess what? It's FRIDAY! LIVE IT UP with your fanny pack.
Did you ever sport the fanny pack? I totally remember wearing one on my 8th grade trip to Washington D.C. It was red and nerdy!
Wednesday, April 22, 2009
Nice to meet shoe! Lookie at my new rock star shoes! $12.99 baby. I know, you're all jealous cuz I not only found cool shoes but found them at a cool price! Hit your local Marshall's and we could be twinners!
Can you guess the car we got? I hit the 50 mileage mark today~whoa! Ain't gonna be no Slurpie drinking in my car. It has that "new car" smell. 45 freakin degrees today (so my car says) and just yesterday we were slip and slidin' at a playdate! Have I mentioned I hate living in Washington?
Cereal sale! Good old Crunchy Corn Bran. I use to steal this from my roommate when we were in Jerusalem. However, this same roommate would set her alarm for 4AM-classes started at 8- and her alarm would go off for hours until she actually got her butt out of bed! I think we ended up hiding her alarm clock too. Nonsense! :)
Decor...Picked these bad girls up at an antique store last weekend. I think I'll name them Milly and Gert. I'm loving the silhouette stuff out there. Now to find them a home. Maybe my kitchen??
And more SHOE news~
Okay, so ever since I found THESE shoes for my "wedgie" post I have been thinking about them. They are fab! Let's see...what can I take back?:)

It's Trendy Tuesday~KIDO STYLE
Can I be your fashion advisor?
Summer Twirling...
For today's TREND I have chosen to feature kido etsy summer dresses. I am in love with etsy (you all know that by now) and have been doing a search on summer dresses for Lulu. You know, before we knew we were having a girl I actually really wanted another boy. When they told me I was having a girl I was slightly disappointed. However, as soon as I left that doctor's office and hit the closest Gymboree, my mind changed in an instance. As we all know, girl clothes are SO much cuter than boy clothes. I AM OBSESSED WITH LITTLE GIRL FRILLIES ~especially tutus! (I still will not admit how many tutus my child has!) How much longer do I have til she grows out of the frill and fluff? It all just goes too fast...most days.:)
All of these little darlings can be found at etsy.com. I used "children's dresses" for my search.
Have fun TWIRLING in the sunshine! Twirl~ such a happy word.
Mrs. Princess Pookie's Social Calendar
Sshh....can you hear that? Me either. Quiet, nothingness. Precious MY time. My Prince has swept me off my feet today (Sunday) and has taken our royal family to the park. Sheer dream come true for me AND my children! Probably not so much for hubs but I know he values the limited playtime he gets with his mini peeps. Relax. Breathe. Do nothing. Loving life!Now on to the rest of the weekend fun. Friday night I had a date with my prince to the car dealer. We're in need of making a decision on a car and there is nothing we despise more in our life than visiting the car dealer. I HATE CAR SALESMEN! To make a long story short we had the WORST experience of our entire car buying history and we're back to ground zero. When it comes to buying cars all I ask for is honesty. And that on Friday, we did not get. UGH!
Let's take a vote. What kind of car do you think we should get?
A. Mini van
B. Porshe~the kids can stay home!
C. Car truck aka El Camino~what's the point of these anyway?
D. Range Rover
All right, if you insist we'll get a Range Rover. Anyone out there willing to donate to the down payment? If I can round up $60 grand in donations maybe I can afford one. Please?:)
Saturday we took a roadtrip to the tulip festival. One of my favorite Godly creations is a field of brightly colored tulips. Unfortunately this year we didn't see any. Once again welcome to my IRONIC life. Had we given it a couple more weeks we would have been able to see the tulip rainbows but due to the unseasonably cool weather as of late, the tulips are still sleeping. BUT we did get to see the daffodils, a few early rising tulips and shop and eat crap food at the street fair
This will kill you! If not you, everyone else around you will be dead from your breath!Now that is what I call funny! One of the booths at the street fair was selling Mexican wrestling masks (Nacho Libre style). We spent more time in this booth than any other and laughed our guts out! My nephew ended up buying one. We all wanted to buy them for our fam. reunion this summer but at $25 a pop my sis and I thought...We can totally make these! Will we? Not likely!

It's FFF (Fabulous Fashion Friday)
I'm the hottest soccer mom ever. Watch out people...here I come. Bring on the flaming RED toes and rockstar music.
I wore this scarf yesterday and got several compliments on it. For crying out loud people it's just from the stupid GAP. No...or is it European?:D My earrings didn't photo well but they're gigantic peace signs.
Don't you just LOVE Friday! Make it a great weekend.
P.S. I just discovered THIS shop on Etsy. Lovely little pieces for your lobes. At these prices...you have no excuse!
