Good morning,
I'm Mr. Gamer and this is a Start Button Review update.
First off, I want to thank the ponies (people) that have been supported me this far. I don't plan stopping anytime soon. As a matter of fact, we have just begun to report!
For those of you just tuning in, we have a new person on the SBR staff, the one and only Kitty Duval. She will be our PR person reaching to any viewers I miss. I have four eyes so I shouldn't be missing anything, but I am not perfect.
I will be changing the update schedule as well. I will be giving you gaming reviews every other week and doing my own gaming research over the course of the other weeks. I will still post gaming news as I get it. It will be a bit of a slow down so that I don't give you crap. As Agnes always says, that is unacceptable!
In honor of the new movie, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Rocket Raccoon, who is only second in the raccoon world to Sly Cooper, I will be purchasing the game 'Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3' and finally getting my team off the ground. You can guess one of the characters, but this team will be nothing to sneeze at…unless you are allergic to awesome.
We are also working hard to figure out what you want to hear about from us. It may be our words and our voice but it is about what you want to hear. Just as long as I don't have to play another Kim Kardashian game… I have said this before and I will say it again; this is not just for me. I want to report and I want to do this. I am doing this for you. Your feedback, good, bad and indifferent, is always appreciated.
With that being said, I still need your help. I still need more followers to my WordPress and Facebook page. I am only 5 likes away from my first milestone on the journey to 100 likes, and our expansion to YouTube. If every person on my blog and page got just one other person to follow me, I would hit that goal in no time. So, please tell your friends, family, enemies and random voices in your head (if they have separate email addresses) about the Start Button Review!

Claxton Community Volunteer Emergency Services Station 11
Our fire station was built on the old site of the former Claxton School grounds. The school was closed in the early 1970�s and burned in the 1980�s. The original three bay building was built in 1992. The maintenance bay was added in 2002. The majority of all of the work on our building and additions have been completed by our own members.
Claxton members begin clearing debris to build the firehall..
Original fire hall almost completed.
A joyful day as we move our firetrucks into our new firehall!

Buissonnière: the unique story of a Belgian family passionate about fashion
Buissonnière is a Belgian clothing brand that focusses its activity on core values such as family, authenticity and joie de vivre.
Buissonnière is also an exclusive brand: the company develops and creates its own collections that are sold only in its own shops and on its website.
The philosophy of Buissonnière from day one has been to offer a coordinated, refined, high-quality assortment with a continual focus on using natural materials to make clothes. Its collections meet the current needs of families, respect their budget and adapt to every event.
1983: The origin of the brand
30 years ago, Myriam and Christian became the proud parents of a baby girl, Laurence. Myriam, who had always dreamed of having a daughter, could not find high-quality clothing to dress to her according to her taste at affordable prices in the shops. She therefore decided to make the pretty clothes she wanted for her baby herself.
1985 Buissonnière is born!
The little outfits Myriam makes are an immediate success with her friends and family. In 1985, along with her husband, they go all in and decide to create, together, a first collection for children called "Buissonnière". The family business is launched!
1989: Opening of the first store
After some private sales at friends' homes, Myriam and Christian quickly develop the brand. Initially, their children's playroom serves as their first shop. In 1989, the first real point of sale opens in Wavre.
1990-2009: Development of the collections
Over the years, the family grows and Laurence has three little sisters. The Buissonnière clothes also develop: first clothing for babies and children, then a line for teenagers, and finally adults.
2010: Launch of the e-commerce website
Buissonnière follows the trends and adapts to new technologies; in 2010, the brand opens its online shop which has since grown steadily and allows families in many European countries to finally purchase Buissonnière clothes from their own homes as well.
2014: Official purveyor to the Belgian royal court
Since its creation, the brand is known for the refinement of its clothes and benefits from the confidence of the Belgian royal family. The title of Purveyor to the Court was granted in 2014 by King Philip.
2015: Buissonnière celebrates its 30th anniversary
Although multinational chains currently dominate the ready-to-wear market, Buissonnière maintains its presence and desires to preserve its know-how and values of creativity and quality. It is still and always has been a small Belgian family business: the second generation has arrived and is infusing the brand's development with dynamism and modernity.
But Buissonnière is more than the story of a family. It is the story of passionate young people who did everything to realise their dream of creating a clothing brand to dress every generation in perfect harmony with the current fashion trends.

Stedman® – More than just your average t-shirts!
Did you know that the Stedman® brand was founded more than six decades ago in the USA? Back in 1953, the Stedman Manufacturing Company, based in Asheboro, North Carolina, started manufacturing sportswear and undergarments for men and boys. Now, more than 60 years later, we are proudly following in the footsteps of our founders and continue to further develop their ideas.
Four basic products were introduced at the European market launch in Paris on 18 September, 2001: Classic-T, Junior Classic-T, Comfort-T and Polo. The product portfolio grew quickly as awareness of the brand increased. Today, Stedman® is one of the most successful European brands, providing top-quality promotional clothing at attractive prices. The current 2016 collection comprises more than 115 styles for men, women, juniors and children: from T-shirts, polo shirts and sweatshirts up to fashionable sportswear!
We are constantly growing and evolving!
Our development department is constantly in touch with the market and researching important new advances and innovations in the areas of materials, colours, shapes, forms and cuts. We pick up on the latest trends in the retail sector and tailor them to the promotional wear segment. For example, the new "Stedman® Stars" collection was launched in early 2014. This new line features styles that are inspired by retail and fully meet the high standards for modern promotional wear at the same time: Optimal fits and cuts, bright colours and new material compositions offer a perfect base for textile finishing.
The new Stedman® Stars and Stedman® Active styles do not have printed or sewn-on neck labels – only a small size label on the collar; the care label is sewn into the side seam. This gives our customers the widest possible range of design options for "private labelling".
More Active Than Ever with Stedman® Active
The demand for stylish sportswear and functional clothing has been growing steadily, especially in recent years. In many cases, plain sport T-shirts no longer meet today's requirements. Consumers increasingly want fashionable, modern cuts, in-trend colours and high-quality functional materials.
Our "sporty" response to this high demand was to launch the "Stedman® Active" collection at the beginning of 2013! Featuring trendy sports styles ranging from Active Sports T-shirts made with moisture-wicking ACTIVE-DRY° polyester and casual Active Sweat Hoodies up to lightweight, breathable Active Fleece products, this collection successfully caters to the increasing demand for high-quality, functional sports and outdoor clothing.
But that was just the start: In summer 2014, we added even more styles to the successful Stedman® Active collection, including seven pieces made with the super stretchy, breathable "bird eyelet" mesh fabric. With a total of 54 fashionable Active styles in 17 bright colours and made from a variety of functional materials, the Stedman® Active collection offers the ideal basis for active sports promotion!
Highest Quality Right From the Start!
Even early on during the design phase of new Stedman® styles, we already focus intensively on the needs and requirements of our customers, who are primarily purchasing items for promotional purposes. Accordingly, the suitability of the basic materials with respect to textile finishing plays a particularly important role at Stedman®. For example, we make sure there are no obstructing, unwanted seams or darts in the printable areas. In addition, we test all products in advance to determine the optimum finishing options. In cooperation with our manufacturers, we are continuously further developing our basic materials in order to provide consistently excellent products.
We demand the best quality for our Stedman® cotton products as well. We use only high-quality, ring-spun cotton yarns for production. These yarns are much softer and more skin-friendly than cheaper, rough open-end yarns, and because ring-spun fibres have a higher density, they are also stronger and more durable. There are several other advantages as well, including a more even and smooth appearance of the fabric, which in turn provides a better base for textile finishing.
For the Stedman® Stars collection, "full-feeder" technology is used to process combed ring-spun cotton thread together with elastane thread, which ensures even distribution of elastane across the entire surface of the fabric. The result is a soft and supple fabric with extremely high wearing comfort, excellent shape retention, and a very smooth surface that is ideally suited for textile printing.
We are committed to responsibility!
Today's business world demands that we provide ever better products and services at competitive prices. And acting responsibly and ethically is just as crucial. Integrity and compliance with the regulations and standards that govern our global business sphere are therefore essential. At Stedman®, we are aware of our responsibility and act accordingly. For us, sustainability is not just a trend, it has been a firmly established part of our business ethics code right from the start.
Stedman® is committed to global environmental protection through our ecologically responsible management and operations. We strive to continuously improve our environmental footprint by conserving resources, reducing waste, and using water, energy and raw materials as efficiently as possible.
Our CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) team monitors and inspects the production facilities to ensure compliance with our high standards regarding working conditions and social and environmental issues. We do NOT work with subcontractors, because we want to assure optimal quality control. The CSR team carefully and diligently screens our manufacturers' occupational safety policies and practices on a regular basis.
Our clothing and accessories comply with the requirements of the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. In addition, we operate in accordance with the principles and codes of the Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP®) organization. The principles, requirements and regulations are considered extremely important and are strictly implemented by our company and our business partners.
About Stedman®

With its successful Stedman® brand, the company offers an extensive portfolio of printable t-shirts, sweatshirts, polo shirts and other casual wear.

Van der ErveVan der Erve
Van der Erve N.V. was established in 1985 by Rob and Ida van der Erve. Martijn van der Erve, their son, further developed the business into the fashion house for licenses and brands anno 21st century.
Although the company initially started with non-licensed clothing, a partnership with Disney helped van der Erve grow in the licensing market in 1994.
After many years of production in Europe (mainly Portugal), van der Erve, similar to many others, started its production in Asia. 'Made in China' became a new statement.
Beconnected is a Wholly-Owned Foreign Enterprise (WOFE) located in China, founded in 2008. The philosophy "Thinking West Sourcing East" is embedded into daily business with the European spirit and Asian staff.
Four years later, the time was right to also open an office in Bangladesh and was named Beconnected Bangladesh
With a focus on growth, van der Erve has now opened a new office and printing & labeling factory in Ethiopia. The official opening took place on June 16, 2015
Van der Erve has become a company with more than 30 employees in the Belgian headquarters and operates throughout Europe with a turnover of more than € 50 million. Beconnected is an independent agent that's part of the van der Erve group and represent us at the Asian and African market. They take care of the van der Erve orders and serve other customers.
The "Erve – group" will continue to grow. Growth is what we stand for. Growth for our customers, partners and our people. Step by step, each time better.

Founded over 85 years ago by William Gotlib in Antwerp, Belgium, Vegotex has grown from a small family business to one of Europe's largest private label manufacturers. Now in its third generation of family management, the company's quantum leap was brought about by Jacques Paul Gotlib, who seized upon the huge potential of trading with China and the Far East, transforming the company into a major player in the European textiles import-export market.
In its 86 years of trading, Vegotex has expanded its presence to cover 30 European countries as well as the Near and Far East and North Africa, all while maintaining the same family values of modesty and respect. The latest brand to join the Vegotex family of brands is Belgian prêt-à-porter label "Mais il est où le soleil?" which became part of the group in 2012. The company today is run from its headquarters in Sint-Niklaas in Belgium, where a staff of some 80 individuals manages the worldwide operations of this EUR 150 million plus family business

Monday, day two of my cruise, was an at-sea day. I love a good mixture of at-sea and in-port days and this cruise only had one at-sea day. I prefer two on five- and six-day cruises, but it is what it is! Days at sea will obviously vary for different types of people. It can be as busy or as peaceful as you want it to be and for mom and me, we wanted it to be relaxing, quiet, and calm.
Monday, May 5
7:45am: Up and attem!
I am a notoriously bad sleeper, especially on days when I have the potential to sleep as late as I want to. I seriously thought it was at least 9:30 when I woke up, though, and felt fairly well-rested and refreshed. There is nothing like sleeping on a cruise ship. Soooo relaxing!
8:30am: Breakfast
Another great upgrade to the "2.0" ships is the addition of brunch on at-sea days. I order a big breakfast of eggs, sausage, hash browns, and chocolate chip pancakes. We also order mimosas, which are delicious!
9:15am: Relaxing on Serenity
Now, my friends, this is how a Monday morning should be spent: reading, listening to music, people watching, and napping in a hammock. It was so perfect and I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day, warm and sunny and breezy.
12:15pm: Scattegories & a workout
After three hours in the sun, Mom and I decide to go back to our room. We weren't hungry for lunch yet, so we play a few rounds of Scattegories and then do a workout. While the ship does have a nice gym, we just do a workout in the room. This is what I did: 50 jumping jacks, 50 arm circles, 50 squats, 50 push-ups, and 50 tricep bridges. Then I repeated that circuit a second time, this time doing 40 reps of each. After that, we ran up nine flights of stairs and then back down. All in all, about 30 minutes of cardio so I was happy with that.
1:45pm: Lunchtime
We were hungry after our workout, so we went to the top deck of the ship for another burger from Guy's. We had a pretty nice view for lunch! (Better than my usual weekday lunch view… which is my work computer.)
After lunch, we went to the casino to play the slots for 15-20 minutes before heading back to our room to play another few rounds of Scattegories.
3:30pm: Serenity & mango swirls
We decide to spend some time on the Serenity deck and it's pretty much deserted at this time. We are able to snag a hammock and order frozen drinks to cool us off – mango swirls! I discovered this drink on my very first cruise and it's my go-to for deck drinking. It's a mixture of a mango daiquiri and pina colada and it's seriously yummy. Mmm, mmm, mmm!
4:45pm: Before dinner naptime!
We didn't spend too much time on the deck because it was really, really hot outside with very little breeze. So we went back to our room, where I read for a bit before taking a short before-dinner nap. The best.
7:00pm: Get ready for dinner
Time to get ready for dinner, and it's elegant night so Mom and I get all dressed up! It's fun to get dressed up!
8:15pm: Dinner time!
I have to say, I wasn't totally impressed with the dinner offerings on this ship. I'm not a very adventurous eater, nor a very "fancy eater" so most of the offerings didn't appeal to me. This night, I asked for things off the menu (something I don't normally do) because nothing sounded good. (I know I should probably use my cruises to step out of my comfort zone and try new foods, but it's really hard when I'm so picky!) Tonight, I order a Caesar salad, steak and a baked potato, and warm chocolate melting cake for dessert.
9:30pm: Casino time!
The entertainment tonight was a little lame (I watch way too many professional dance competitions to watch cruise dancing without a critical eye!), so we decided to spend some time in the casino. Honestly, I don't love being in the casino because I find gambling to be stupid and a bit pointless. (And my dad has/had a gambling addiction that ruined his marriage, relationships with his family and kids, etc., so perhaps I have a bias against gambling.)
10:30pm: Winding down!
After spending some time in the casino, we head back to the room to settle down for the night, play a few rounds of Scattegories, and then read before going to bed. Tomorrow, we will be in our first port of call: Key West!
Are you an adventurous eater? What's the craziest thing you've ever eaten? (For me, probably the alligator fritters I had on my first night of this cruise! I also tried squid once, during a seventh grade science class. Not too bad!)

Nationalism within the Colonized State: Resistance Movements and the Politics of Borders
by Ezekiel Fry
In his book, Black is a Country: Race and the Unfinished Struggle for Democracy, Nikhil Pal Singh draws up the example of the Black Panthers' solidarity and unity with the Viet-Cong. This solidarity illuminates a feeling on both fronts of existing in a colonized state. The Panthers view Oakland very much in the same way that the Viet-Cong might view Hanoi. These are spaces within a larger colonial nation where the oppressed and the colonized create their own sovereignty. Despite the pressure of French occupation, Ho Chi Minh and his comrades declared Hanoi to be the seat of their revolution in the 1940's and 1950's, much in the same way that even with the ever-present police violence and threat, the Panthers declared their revolution in the occupied streets of Oakland in the 1960's and 1970's. The problems that this presents for the occupying state should be self-explanatory in hindsight. The Viet-Cong's declarations of sovereignty resulted in immediate battle with first the French and then American forces, and the Panthers' declaration resulted in their systematic destruction by the United States government. The threat was clearly tangible. Both organizations had struck upon a way to unravel and disrupt the colonial sovereignty and power of the oppressive occupiers. They forced a move from colonial government through their actions.
Unfortunately the results of the Panthers non-violent and community based declaration was not successful in the way that the Viet-Cong's ultimately was (although this success could probably now be rethought due to the adoption of a global capitalist model by pretty much all the former communist states in Asia). The oppressive regime never left Oakland; it is occupied to this day. However, these models, and particularly the Panthers' approach, can serve as templates and inspiration for organizing effectively outside of the state's parameters. Another key aspect of both of these projects is that the groups declaring their own sovereignty where racialized. This is both an important factor for the assessment of the level of threat it posed to the racist state apparatus, and also is important as the place, the very site, of the resistance. That which was used to subdue and control is turned around into something that becomes a powerful way of resisting colonizing forces. Black nationalism becomes a decolonizing force against the very system that created blackness as a way of racializing and compartmentalizing. There is much to learn from this redefining of positions of struggle and repositioning and reclaiming. That we might find a spot to resist oppression in the very language used to control is heartening. But I do not want to get too carried away.
Resistance movements such as Occupy failed to fully take into account ideas of race. It became something of a young, white, middle-class uprising. While this is certainly important, Occupy's failure to look deeper than the 99% and establish important roles for difference ultimately weakened the impact of their movement (the middle class has to be involved in change from my perspective, it has to be forced into changing, it has to experience similar feelings of isolation and discouragement that poor communities feel in order to become active. Folks don't really change because they want to, they change because they need to.).
The ideas of race and class are inseparable. When we speak of class we speak of race, and when we speak of race we speak of class. This is perhaps the best example I have yet to come up with for the concept of articulation. They are always working in relation to one another. In this case, any resistance movement that claims to be a class struggle, that does not already discuss race as a primary point in this debate, is not doing their homework, nor opening up truly effective channels for change and upheaval. When we talk about the one, we need to already be talking about the other. Like the Panthers and the Viet-Cong we should think about how we can mobilize these articulated principles in our communities in an increased effort to resist state-sanctioned forms of liberal change and progress. Imagine new ways!

Lincoln University in Jefferson City is struggling to respond to a budget gap created by cuts in state and federal appropriations and a history of being mostly forgotten by government officials.
The university is one of two historically black colleges in Missouri. It says it will lose $3.8 million in state and federal funds for the 2017-2018 academic year. In response, Lincoln is cutting 48 positions and reducing employee pay by 0.5 percent. It's also increasing tuition by 2 percent.
The Columbia Missourian reports the university's budget is generally about $50 million annually. Lincoln generates about $13 million a year from tuition and other revenue streams and must make up the remaining $37 million.

Cycling around Lysterfield Lake
Lysterfield Park is situated approximately 30 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. The park has over 20 km of Mountain Bike single trails, as well as a network of fire trails. Its popularity has stemmed from the 2006 Commonwealth Games, and a network of single-tracks were created specifically for this event. These bike trails cater to riders of all ages and skill levels.
The great thing about riding around Lysterfield Lake is that you can choose your own adventure. You can easily mix up your rides. Choose a ride that winds its way through rock gullies. Bushes, boardwalks and flowing descents, or take on one of the parks many climbs. I have profiled a number of the most challenging & popular climbs in the park. Due to rough surfaces all of these climbs are much harder than the length or average gradient would suggest and would recommend for you to climb them on a CX or MTB.

- Toilets available at main car park
- Fire trails are shared paths and riders need to be courteous to walkers
- Trails are all two-way traffic. You will need to keep an eye out for riders coming the other way. There is no rule over who has to give right of way. Heads up that there will be aggressive riders who will expect you to move out of their way, and will ride through you if you don't. As a rule of thumb if you're not in a hurry just pull over. Its much safer.
- Parking available at a number of spots around the park
- Lysterfield Lake is open 24 hours a day

Choosing your own furniture in your home is a great challenge and adventure. You want to choose the one with most features and of course providing the best comfort. Sofa is every living room's essential need, especially when your hobby is watching movies in the middle of the night while enjoying your time or maybe you would like to take a nap in your sofas as you watch the TV. Reclining sofa is your solution of finding the best comfort in your living room. There are many considerations before you get to choose the perfect one. Size, materials, and colors are the important consideration to choose the sofa.
Tips on How to Choose the Reclining Sofa
The first thing that you have to do on the reclining sofa tips is to measure the space that you have because the reclining sofa comes in variety size. This sofa requires an extra space in your living room, but surely it also gives you an extra comfort. Moreover, this sofa has a place for your feet, that's why you don't need to worry about the comfort. When you purchase the sofa, just make sure that the sofa will fit perfectly to the space in your room.
The things that you have to consider next, is about the longevity and also the comfort by having the reclining sofa. You can go to the store to look out for something that catches your eyes, and you could try the sofa. There are durability considerations that you have to put in mind when you invest your money on buying anew sofa. That's why having knowledge about the materials and fabric will be very good.
Leather reclining sofa is one the best options so far because you get both durability and comfort at the same time. It could be a good choice when you have the more budget to purchase the reclining sofa. The best one is made from leather and the wood, but you also have another option of fabric if you think that you want to go with a modern style.
Choosing the color of fabric is also important to match the nuance of your room. The variety of leather color will help you to have the nuance of warm and comfy. It also helps you to have a magnificent room. If you go with other fabric, you could have a wider range of reclining sofa color. This will go with the concept of your room.

Place the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook until brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pan, drain on paper towels, and reserve.
In a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, combine the egg, mustard, vinegar, and garlic. Puree until smooth. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil until all the oil is incorporated and the mixture is thick. With the machine running add 4 ounces of the blue cheese and the buttermilk. Season the dressing with salt, pepper, and pepper sauce.
In a mixing bowl, toss the spinach and red onions with as much dressing, as desired. Season the salad with salt and pepper. Mound the greens in the center of each plate. Crumble the salmon over the greens. Sprinkle each salad with the reserved crispy bacon, and remaining blue cheese. Garnish with the quartered eggs and serve immediately.
In a small bowl combine the salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne. Season the salmon on all sides with the spice mixture. Wrap the entire seasoned fillet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
Prepare a stovetop smoker according to the manufacturer's directions.
Unwrap the salmon and place skin side down on the rack in the smoker. Place the smoker over medium heat (or as directed by the manufacturer), cover, and cook until the salmon is firm and flakes easily, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the salmon from the smoker and cool.

The people of North Lanarkshire have been thanked for 'entrusting' the SNP with their vote as the party celebrates sweeping general election victories.
Former Labour strongholds of Motherwell and Wishaw, Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill, and Airdrie and Shotts fell to the Nationalists as did Lanark and Hamilton East - which includes Uddingston and Bothwell.
Members of Uddingston and Bellshill SNP branch celebrated in the early hours after the count at Ravenscraig.
Branch chairman and Central Scotland MSP Richard Lyle said: "The people of Scotland have spoken and none more so than here in North Lanarkshire where our people have entrusted the Scottish National Party with their vote.
"I'd like to thank all of our SNP activists for their sheer determination and hard work in this election. In the Uddingston and Bellshill area alone we hand delivered more than 200,000 pieces of campaign literature in this election and knocked on many doors.
"I want to say thank you to local people for entrusting us with their vote. The SNP will work to ensure the people of Scotland's voice is heard at Westminster whilst playing a constructive part in ending austerity, championing job creation and ensuring that the powers promised to Scotland during the referendum are delivered in full."
More election reaction to follow online and in next week's Times & Speaker, out on Wednesday.

Dear Amy and the team from Search Quest,
I know this is long over due but I would like to thank you for reuniting me with my father. I am truly grateful for everything you and your team have done. To give you an update, I was able to meet my father in person shortly after you helped me find him while I was on a vacation for the holidays. We met on December 30Th at an Applebee's in Tifton GA. I was able to spend a couple days with him for New Years at his home in Newnan GA. I was able to get to know him, his wife, and and my two youngest sisters. I have two other sisters and a brother who live with his ex wife that do not talk to him anymore and they do not know about me. I have yet to decide if I am going to try to contact them or not considering I do not know how they will receive me. However, even if that does not work out, I am happy to report that my father and I have been working on establishing a relationship. Since I last saw him on January 1st, we have been talking every week since and I have another trip planned for June to go see him again so that we can have a little more time since the last was short and last minute. Enclosed are photos of me, my father, and my younger sisters. Words cannot express how thankful I am that you have given me the opportunity of a lifetime.
What People are Saying about Us
Thanks and Update from Victoria
Dear Amy and the team from Search Quest,

EDITOR'S DESK: 'Mountain lifestyle'? Vroom!
Woodland Park is well outside our circulation area, which is why you won't see any pontificating in this corner about the
proposed Wal-mart there. But as one Westsider to another, don't you think the debate ought to include a consideration of that
town's driving habits? It's fine and dandy that an apparently sizeable number of Woodland residents cherish their "mountain
lifestyle," but how many of them commute to Colorado Springs so they can afford it?
How many of them (perish the thought!) drive down to shop at the Wal-mart on Eighth Street? Of course they wouldn't want to be recognized. Maybe when Rio Grande got torn up last year at Eighth Street, it was partly to install a tunnel (a la the Colorado City of yore) to allow Woodland Parkers to shop incognito.
In all seriousness, the traffic from Ute Pass has surely sped up the timetable for the probable widening of Westside Highway 24 and become a major nuisance for the Pleasant Valley neighborhood. Thirty-first Street is a rush-hour funnel from Highway 24 to Fillmore Street. A shortcut to northbound I-25? The straightest shot to labor-intensive Garden of the Gods Road? Who can say for sure? All that's certain is the stream of vehicles roaring down the pass in the morning and chugging back up at night.
From a certain standpoint, I can see why Woodland people would feel oppressed by a Wal-Mart amidst the beauty of where they live and why they're ready to fight it till the last lawyer left standing. But why should that victory, if they achieve it, be at our expense?

While what happens during and after excavations of archaeological sites are popular subjects of previous PAST posts, this post deals with a different type of archaeological work – the survey. Surveys are useful for both finding unrecorded sites and to answer research questions about large-scale issues, such as landscape use. Survey work presents its own unique rewards and challenges, some of which I became familiar with during the course of gathering data for my Master's thesis.

|Freshly mowed oat field north side of our farm.
It's hot.
How hot is it?
It's so hot that I spend as much time hosing off myself as I do the pigs. It's so hot that I no longer care who sees my bat wing arms, I'm wearing tank tops. (Small children beware, flapping skin may cause head injuries) It's so hot that my husband and I lay on the couch in a very dark room and a lazy ceiling fan whirring above us all Casablanca like but there isn't a single romantic thought between us.
Yeah, it's hot. Steamy hot after all the rains we've had. If we had any sense we'd go inside our air conditioned home like the rest of America.
But then again, we don't have much sense. Back in 1995 when we bought this old farm house built circa 1895, it had no AC, in fact it had no working furnace. So we paid to get a new one and we made sure the house had all the duct work needed for AC just in case. But since I worked in cool, temperature controlled offices all day, it wasn't that big of deal...Keith said he didn't need it, so I did not see it being a problem for me, at least it wasn't until I came home at night and felt terribly ill. Going from way cool to way hot was way awful.
But then I'd sleep with a small window air conditioner and get in my car with AC and work in my AC office and all was well, until I got home again. But still central AC is expensive to run and so we (I) struggled through the summers. I could never really understand why Keith seemed to tolerate the heat so much better than I. Well sure he was thinner and healthier but STILL.
Then I left nursing and came home full time. The first summer I noticed a big difference. Apparently if one's body is allowed to adjust slowly to heat increases rather than have to endure huge temperature variations, the body (and this midlife farmwife's general mood) adjusts. And so we cope.
The routine goes like this. In the am our windows let in cool air. We do morning chores and then around 9am we shut up the house. Close doors, pull drapes and keep a couple ceiling fans going. We continue to come and go outside as our chores require. On very bad days (over 95) we will generally hide out inside and do office work. Our rooms are a good 10-15 degrees cooler than the outside. Around 4 pm the house heats up and we'll have to open windows again but by 8 pm it's cooler and with fans in the bedroom and maybe some ice snuggled under our armpits we can sleep.
If we have a kind of night that stays very warm we might run the window AC but that is becoming more rare. The noise alone is annoying (the window AC is about 15 years old )and coupled with someones snoring it's akin to sleeping in a jet engine. Plus we find a closed up room very stifling.
So there you have it or don't have it. No Central Air at South Pork Ranch. Just giving you fair warning in case you come home to visit, strut into the kitchen without knocking, plop yourself down at the table and then get the shock of your life when your mother flounces in (unaware of your presence) wearing only her birthday suit.
Yes, it happened. No, he is no longer in therapy.

When a kid thanks a single mom
It was my son's second big stand-up gig. The first was in kindergarten, two years ago, and he wore a flashing bow tie my dad let him borrow and used flash cards I made for him to prompt the jokes. He was an avid reader, but the symbols of a crazy deer, a frog in a blender and a talking toilet boosted his confidence and speed when he stepped out on stage in front of the grammar-school kids in the audience.
We'd prepped for weeks for that kindergarten debut, culling jokes from books and kid websites, crafting them with better punchlines and tailoring transitions for his crowd. We wrote a joke about the gym teacher, and I think that the way my son said it with a wink and smile in his intonation helped secure his spot in the school talent show.
It was a moment that lasted for weeks. My heart tha-thunked in my chest while he refined his own schtick, swallowed the nerves like a chewable vitamin and smiled to see the reaction fall all around him.
I was crushed when the date was finalized for the talent show, set for the exact time I'd be speaking at a conference half a country away. He gave an obligatory "aww" when I told him, but skipped past it, reassured that his dad would be there and my parents would cheer him on and another mother would tape a back-up in case any family videos attempts failed.
We'd been honing his act so that he'd step gracefully on to the stage and then get the chance to be himself in the spotlight, without the gasp of nerves or unassuredness. And so it was fine for me to not be there -- I knew he'd kill it, and he did. But it hurt me to know his dad, who had not been involved at all in this gig, would be the one standing just off-stage.
That's a tricky thing to admit -- that the other parent will get to be front and center when you've been the one putting in all the love and hours and work behind the scenes. Still, the sinking feeling is there. I wasn't just sad to miss the performance and to be so far away when my son was shining. I was sad the other parent stepped in just for the big moment. I was weepy not to be there on the big day, in the magic moment. Nobody wants to say aloud the selfish things they feel as a parent, but I think too often single moms get all stoic and selfless and fiercely independent and don't just say when this stuff hurts. It hurt.
Fortunately, that feeling was fleeting. The momentary ugh pulled back to reveal my real ahh: I wanted to be right there as I had been all those prepatory hours, as I have been all these crazy years. I wasn't seeking glory or thanks. I wasn't concerned with competing with my son's dad. I was really just achey to see my boy do how he does and to hear the laughter and see the smiles by the moment of happiness his roast beef-pea soup joke and certain brand of wacka-wacka humor inspired.
It all turned out very fine, great even. He felt wonderful about his performance and a kind parent immediately texted me videos to watch as soon as my own speech concluded. It was all good.
And really, I don't need or even want the other parent involved in moments like this. There's a special magic in poring over riddle books and calibrating our own laugh-meters to see which rated-G jokes are actually funny. The part on stage is glorious, yes, but the best part is really the grind before the gig.
Or maybe that is what I need to think because my own career took over that one day my son was on stage. To be fair, I got to be there for the dress rehearsal, I got to see him placed between the sixth-grade singer who belted out an Adele tune and the other kindergarteners who danced to "Tangled" tunes. I clapped for the eighth-grade break dancers and then filmed and beamed as my boy adjusted the mic and launched into his act, index cards in hand. This is the real show, I have looked back on that time and thought.
Until last weekend, when my son walked out into the spotlight for his sophomore stand-up show. It was the church talent show and all acts were welcome, no auditions or rehearsals or expectations. My son was recruited and nonchalantly accepted the challenge. Just a couple days before the performance, we launched back into our comedy prep routine. We needed new jokes, to ressurect some of the kindy classics and to measure once again which punchlines would kill and which ones to slay from the set list.
We spent less time, this time. My boy was ready to do more himself, taking over transitions and even rewriting one punchline so that it was much funnier.
"That's not the right punchline!" I was about to say it when I realized his phrasing and twists had already made me LOL. And let's be honest, kid jokes are far more often chuckle-able than LOL-able.
We went over it from top to bottom a few times the night of the performance and then he told me he was done, ready to go. He let me critique his costume ideas -- maybe not TWO hats, probably should save the wig for another gig, but a big yes on the crazy t-shirt -- and he asked me to write out his set list for him. This time with real words.
I could do that. I could definitely do that. Stepping back a bit felt different and good -- he has the confidence and even the experience to walk out on stage all by himself. I could be his prepping and proud mama from a little more of a distance. Not quite Houston or Miami, but just enough out of reach.
That night at the talent show, the mic was a little too high and he had to step up on his tippy-toes to tell each joke. My video is full of feedback and my mom missed it all because she was sick. But my dad and I were there to cheer him on from a table just off-center from where he stole the show.
Stole the show -- that's a beaming mother describing a three-minute act full of silly kid comedy. But since he won a crazy trophy and helped raise lots of money for a deserved charity and earned so many compliments from our church friends that I stopped keeping count of the kind words, I think it feels like the right phrase.
I liked his "jalapeno business" joke the best. But next, I loved being there, seeing it all from my seat out in the audience. And I wondered if not being there sometimes helps build his confidence that the show can go on even when your mama is not nearby. Because, of course, it can, and it did and it does.
Before my comic son placed the trophy in a prominent spot in our living room and was amped up for days about how great it felt to be back behind the mic, he was on stage with the emcees, who asked if he'd like to say a few words.
"I'd like to thank my mom, who made me practice," he said. "And my grandpa for being here. And to everyone else because it was a really fun night!"
I guess, given that it was in church, he could have thanked God and the academy and it would have been funny and appropriate. It got to me, though, that he acknowledged me for the work, and I will take it as meaning he felt the love, too. I didn't need that gratitude -- honestly -- but I received it into my already full heart. And I felt even luckier and more sure that the good stuff really is what happens at home before the house lights go up.
It's OK to want to be validated for the great parenting moments you have. It's just fine to want to be thanked and seen, especially by your kids. Perhaps this is a natural follow-up to putting our all into the preparation, or just a desire to whisper into the mic or share a corner of the spotlight ourselves. The tricky thing is that it is not our kids' job to thank us. It is not our childrens' other parents' job to step out of the way when the trophy is carted up on stage. It is not worth it to want those performance days for too long.
It is our role to help our kids be the best person they are, or are becoming. This isn't simple or easy, and it's 99% of the time thankless or shoved aside while some other guy takes a big old bow. And sometimes, it means going away, stepping back, taking off and trusting that every little thing will be wonderful (and hilarious) without us there (maybe a tiny bit in part due to all the prep we helped with before we left). This was his show -- and seeing that in action, in person, was pretty prideful for me.
It felt really nice to be thanked. It felt much better to see that kid's wide smile for days. It feels just right to see that trophy staring out at us, reminding us that it was fun from opening to close.
And that tomorrow is the school talent show auditions, and that we'd better be ready.

Idris Elba's BBC copper TV series, Luther, will soon be no more. This according to creator Neil Cross, whose show begins its final season for US audiences next week (the series' final season has already aired in the UK). Before you sink into a well of despair or tear apart a door with your bare bloody hands, though, know this: like an intense and stubble-faced phoenix rising from the ashes, Luther shall return, coming to the big screen if Cross has his way.
Speaking at the Edinburgh TV Festival, Cross acknowledged the show's unsurprising death sentence (confirming what he had initially forecast back in March of 2012) and briefly discussed his plans for the character going forward.
Here's Cross on the shape of a Luther film:
"Idris is a brilliant leading man and we've hoped to turn Luther into a movie for a long time. It will follow his career in the earlier days, when he is still married to Zoe, and the final scene in the film is the first of the initial TV series."
So, a prequel. There is certainly an appetite among fans to see DCI John Luther's past fleshed out - especially when said fans realize that this is their only means of securing a fix - but it's important to note that this is not Cross' first stab at peeling back Luther's layers. In 2011, Cross authored a prequel novel, Luther: The Calling, which also took us right up to the start of the series. Will the prequel novel mirror or at least inspire the film? Perhaps, but in the very least, this project will have something that the novel could not: Idris Elba's hurricane like portrayal of the damaged detective.
The prequel film, as laid out, would also have to have Indira Varma reprising her role as Zoe, though one wonders if we'll be shown Zoe and John Luther during happier times, or if we'll see the bitter beginning of the end.
One character who is not a part of Luther's un-aired past is Alice, a fan favorite who could be seen as a large missing chunk from this project. That is unless Cross' already completed script also found a way to weave in an Alice appearance and a few other bits from the Luther's future as well.
As for the prospects of this project actually happening, there is some precedent in the form of In the Loop, the sorta theatrical spin-off of The Thick of It. Like that film, it's easy to assume that the rewards for a Luther film will come more from acclaim and a cult-fan powered slow burn toward fiscal glory when it comes to the stateside reaction. That's not to say that such a film couldn't be prosperous in the US, and it certainly has a more accessible format than In the Loop. However, the relatively small size of the built in audience demands a realistic definition of the term "prosperous" - and a willingness from the studio to be pleasantly surprised by the power of word of mouth, curiosity, and Idris Elba's growing box office might as a leading man.
Who knows? While it's not James Bond, maybe Luther will wind up giving Idris Elba the film franchise that many of his fans have been hungering for.
Luther returns to BBC America on September 3rd @10PM.

text: A new report calls on Khan to lead a campaign to end FGM [File: Jack Taylor/Getty Image] The London Assembly, an elected body, has called on the city's mayor Sadiq Khan to lead a campaign to end "the hidden crime" of female genital mutilation (FGM) in the capital. An estimated 170,000 women and girls in Britain have undergone FGM and 65,000 preteen girls are thought to be at risk, it said in a report. The London Assembly is a part of the Greater London Authority that scrutinises the activities of the mayor of London and has the power, with a two-thirds majority, to amend the mayor's annual budget and to reject the mayor's draft statutory strategies. Half of FGM cases recorded in the country are in London, where affected communities include Somalis, Sierra Leoneans, Eritreans and Sudanese. ANIMATION: What is Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)? (2:13) The ritual, done for cultural, traditional or religious reasons, involves the partial or total removal of the external genitalia. In some cases, the vaginal opening is also sewn up. "FGM remains a hidden crime - still taking place behind closed doors, with many girls still at risk," Jennette Arnold, deputy chairwoman of the elected assembly, said in a statement. The report said many professionals, such as police, teachers health and social workers, were not confident about how to respond to cases of FGM, which can cause serious physical and emotional problems. It called for the mayor to help improve coordination between front-line services and highlighted the need for better training. "We need to be bold, strong and ambitious," Arnold said. "I am more determined than ever that London becomes a 'zero cutting city'." National efforts to eradicate FGM have gained momentum in recent years with the once taboo subject making the headlines. Health workers and teachers are now required to report cases of FGM in the under-18 population. No successful prosecution Britain has also strengthened the law on FGM, the act was originally outlawed in 1985, although there has never been a successful prosecution. But the London Assembly report said many believed the emphasis should be on preventing FGM and supporting those at risk rather than pursuing prosecutions. It also called for increased efforts to engage boys and men in combating the ancient ritual which some families believe prevents promiscuity.

"Everybody should make it their business to end FGM - it doesn't matter what community you're from," added Wardere, who wrote about undergoing FGM as a child in Somalia in her recently published memoir Cut. Khan did not comment on whether he would lead a campaign, but his deputy mayor for policing, Sophie Linden, said he was committed to tackling the "appalling practice". "We need to ... ensure that people who carry out such barbaric practices are brought to justice," she said. SOURCE: Reuters news agency Gender United Kingdom Health Europe

Tell Me What To Eat To Lose Weight
- reduce: take off weight
- Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health or physical fitness, is a reduction of the total body mass, due to a mean loss of fluid, body fat or adipose tissue and/or lean mass, namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon and other connective tissue.
- There is evidence that both men and women who gain weight in adulthood increase their risk of diabetes.
- "Tell Me" is the second single from Bobby Valentino's debut album Bobby Valentino. The video directed by Erik White featured a remixed version with rapper Lil Wayne, however this version was not featured on the album.
- Tell me is the title of an ad calling for universal suffrage in Hong Kong. It ran once as a full page ad on the front page of most Hong Kong newspapers on 28 October 2005, and inspired many other people and groups in Hong Kong to run advertisements supporting democracy.
- "Tell Me!" was the Icelandic entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2000, performed in English by August & Telma.
- Put (food) into the mouth and chew and swallow it
- Have (a meal)
- Have a meal in a restaurant
- feed: take in food; used of animals only; "This dog doesn't eat certain kinds of meat"; "What do whales eat?"
- eat a meal; take a meal; "We did not eat until 10 P.M. because there were so many phone calls"; "I didn't eat yet, so I gladly accept your invitation"
- take in solid food; "She was eating a banana"; "What did you eat for dinner last night?"
Tell Me: Children, Reading, and Talk
"There is a correlation between the richness of the reading environment in which readers live and the richness of their talk about what they've read."
"In any group of children we find that if they begin by sharing their most obvious observations they soon accumulate a body of understanding that reveals the heart of a text and its meaning(s) for them all."
Talking about a book helps a child find the heart of a story, make sense of a string of facts, and understand complicated ideas. Aidan Chambers proposes an approach for discussing books so children learn to talk well about what they've read. Indeed, not only talk well, but listen well. And not just about books, but about other things. For the "Tell me" approach ultimately helps children learn to clarify ideas for themselves and to communicate with others. It is, in short, a basic step in applying knowledge and articulating meaning.
Tell Me offers practical information about book talking in the classroom, explaining some of the processes and outlining the ground rules developed by teachers and others who work with children and books. From their experience he has formulated a Framework, "a repertoire of questions that assist readers in speaking out their reading."
Tell Me is companion to The Reading Environment.
The Last Apology
We always knew this was gonna be like clawing our way out of tombs. Nails breaking on the weather scrubbed stone. Skin scraping into the light; streaked with blood and the cold of our own breath. We could tell it was going to be a shit time long before we got here to the present.
I know you're pissed at me. Please don't look at me as though I was already dead.
There is no way to apologize to myself without sounding like I have lost my mind. Who cares? Self talk has always been a slightly unhinged affair and is, ironically, the main thing that has preserved my sanity the most over the years.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry that whenever it gets especially tough I make things worse by eating more cheese and drinking more beer. I'm sorry that I have let myself drink so much beer for so long that I can drink any Russian under the table without losing my shit for a second. I'm sorry that for the last three years I have let all my self discipline degrade under the weight of this stress and this never ending crisis our life has been. I know that it has led us here to where we are today. To this point of awful self loathing.
I'm sorry that I have let us gain over 75 pounds in the past three years. I know that it was natural to gain weight after breaking the hip and not walking for months. But I could have exerted more self control to prevent the mental damage this weight gain has created. I could have prevented this amount of weight gain.
I'm sorry that I have spent so much time telling everyone I'm sorry for things that couldn't possibly be my fault and all this time I have neglected myself.
I'm sorry I couldn't protect myself without also breaking myself. I'm sorry for so much.
I slip uncomfortably between the "me"s and the "us"s and the "you"s, all me, all the time. Plurals and singulars weaving in and out with no order.
I can't change what has already passed.
Things are closer than they appear in the rear view mirror.
Can you forgive me and allow us to move ahead? Will you let this awful neglect become the past that we have overcome?
Please believe that I wish I'd saved up all my inappropriate apologies and put them by like a dowry for your spirit. I wish I'd taken each one and layered them with ivory silk in a cedar trunk so that you could see that each one of those apologies I let slip into the air between me and other people were really for you because you deserved more apologies than you ever got. I wish I'd caught them like butterflies and pinned them to your hair because I know that you were too afraid to ask for them yourself.
There is only one left and you can ask for it now. Ask.
Take this apology and pin it to your throat like the jewel it is. Let it be your winter compass, snowbird- let it lead you into spring.
I am so sorry that I couldn't be our own parent, our own friend, our own knight in shining armor, or even our own comedienne. I'm sorry that I was too young to know how to be anything but a frightened child. I'm sorry that I was never able to grow up fast enough. I've never caught up. I'm still breathless from the ride.
But you see what love motivated me? It always looked like self loathing when really I just wanted some way to deflect the real danger from our flesh, from our spirit, because I felt love for this corporeal nightmare, this little light our spirit always had. It got so hard to keep the night light lit. We wanted to die anyway. But you see that it was love and care that made me try so hard? I just didn't know how to be the person we needed.
Looking through the telescoping past you can see that it was always love we wrote.
Come, let's light the path, others follow in the dark behind us.
Note: Next up is the plan to recover my body and bring it back into a healthy fold and it may take more than one post to lay that one out. This is all coming out fast and furious but not panicked or stressed. I want to string the path out before I cross into the new year. I want to uncover as many obstacles that I may find ahead before I get to them.
I think I have passed the darkest point now and I think anyone who keeps reading will find that I am excited and also in the middle of forgiving myself. I've already forgiven everyone needing forgiving for the abuse part of my past. I truly did that a very long time ago. I've been angry with myself though and I'm feeling it slip away now.
I hope that everyone else who has been through similar experiences as I have can do the same for themselves. And any time you see words from Blaize- pay attention! She is a wise lady. So, are you ready to start feeling the warmth and light that are stirring under the snow and ice? Winter protects life by holding it still until it is time for the sap to run. People are not much different.
Last night I was lying on my bed and weight came to mind, why? Well here's the deal.
As of late it seems as though almost everyone I know has mentioned my how skinny I am. Normally that wouldn't bother me, but it has built up and I've reached frustration and feel the need to stand up for myself and others who go through the same thing.
I am skinnier then I was last year, yes, I know that. I am not an unhealthy weight for my height, and I know that; I also know I can't lose any more weight without it becoming unhealthy. And I have no intentions of losing more weight. No, I didn't try to lose the weight, it just happened between all the moving, heat, being sick for a month, and surgery for the removal of all four wisdom teeth.
Yes, I understand that there is a concern and that people are, but by saying things like "Wow… You are so skinny; you need some meat on you." Or "Emily! Where did you go, you are so tiny?" These things do not encourage me. In a lot of ways saying things like that are very discouraging and not helpful.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And my soul knows very well. Psalm 139:14
God has made me as I am, He's made me skinny.
The thing is, I'm tired of all the comments about how skinny I am and they have been building up recently. For the first time, I personally am very comfortable and happy with how I am and look. I don't wear makeup much anymore, I like the clothes I wear despite the fact some of them are too big, I'm comfortable being skinny little me. God made me who I am and that is who I'll be.
So, please, before you tell someone how skinny they are or you say something about their weight and that you think they need to eat more think about what you are saying and how you'd feel if people said stuff like that to you all the time. Compliments are awesome and encouraging, but otherwise it's good to think about what we are about to say when it comes to someone's weight.

You are in Nestlé Malaysia's Site
Historic promotion to be catalyst for healthy living with Nestlé products.
Nestlé Malaysia today took the unprecedented step of challenging Malaysians to live healthily through balanced diets and healthy lifestyles. Over the next six weeks, the Nutrition, Health and Wellness Company aims to convince at least 1 million Malaysians to pledge to start leading a healthy lifestyle.
"We often talk about the health of the nation in terms of the economy, but neglect to emphasise the importance of our own health. At Nestlé, we believe that in order for us to contribute to the development of the nation, we have to be fit to do so and that means having healthy minds and bodies," said Alois Hofbauer, Region Head of Nestlé Malaysia and Singapore, at the launch of a six-week long campaign to promote healthy lifestyles.
The 'Nestlé Lebih Kebaikan, Lebih Nilai' (Nestlé More Goodness, More Value) promotion - aims to create awareness among Malaysians on the importance of healthy lifestyles, with Nestlé sharing its knowledge and expertise in nutrition and offering nutritious and tasty products at great value. The promotion also demonstrates that eating healthily is not only pleasurable, but also affordable for families.
The six-week long campaign will be supported with road shows at hypermarkets and supermarkets throughout the country. The road shows, which will feature interactive displays and presentations, will not only showcase the various Nestlé products but also promote healthy eating habits through educational materials and advice from the Company's representatives.
"While Malaysians are generally well aware of the benefits of keeping a balanced and healthy diet, the increasing cost of living poses challenges for them to maintain this, especially for mothers who traditionally look after the health and wellbeing of their entire family," said Hofbauer.
"We want to encourage Malaysians to commit to live healthily through healthy eating habits, and to remind them that they can get the required nutrients throughout the day with the affordable Nestlé brands they have grown up with," added Hofbauer.
The initiative is more than just a consumer promotion, as the key objective is to get Malaysians to take the leap and pledge to start leading a healthy lifestyle. To start the ball rolling, Hofbauer accompanied the guest of honour for the event, Y. B. Dato' Sri Rohani Abdul Karim, the Minister of Women, Family and Community Development, to be the first two to take the pledge.
"On the part of the Ministry, we fully support the Nestlé 'Lebih Kebaikan, Lebih Nilai' campaign launched today. This campaign is in line with one of the Ministry's aim and mission, which is to strengthen the family unit in order to improve social welfare and to develop a healthy and prosperous community through healthy nutrition and lifestyles," said Y. B. Dato' Sri Rohani Abdul Karim during the launch event.
"Balanced and healthy diets are already implemented in all institutions for children operated by the Department of Social Welfare (JKM), where the children's menus have to be approved by the Ministry of Health. The department also monitors the preparation of menus for TASKA's and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to ensure that they follow the set guidelines, and that well-balanced diets are always practiced and given serious consideration by all parties," she added.
Nestlé hopes to receive at least 1 million pledges over the 6-week campaign period, and members of the public can register their pledge by visiting the Nestlé website www.nestle.com.my/PromosiLebih or at the interactive road shows throughout the country. The Company will continue to contribute to activities that promote positive Nutrition, Health and Wellness values.
Nestlé globally and in Malaysia, continuously innovates and renovates its products to produce healthier and tastier food and beverages, to meet consumers' evolving needs and address issues relating to non-communicable diseases. This is made possible by the significant resources that have been channelled into Research and Development and the fact that the Company has the world's largest private nutrition R&D network.
The Nestlé Lebih Kebaikan, Lebih Nilai promotion will run from 1 March to 15 April 2014. For more information on the campaign and the consumer promotion, visit the Nestlé website www.nestle.com.my/PromosiLebih or contact 1-800-88-3433 from Mondays to Fridays, between 10.00am to 5.00pm.

Wall Street is loading up on bets against Snapchat
Traders are loading up on short bets against Snapchat. Short interest in the stock has surged to more than 30 million shares, making up about 15.4% of the shares available for trading, according to Data provided by the Wall Street analytics firm S3 Partners.
S3 Partners
Snapchat priced its initial public offering at $17 a share and made its Wall Street debut at $24. Shares climbed as high as $28.84 on March 3, its second day of trading, but have been retreating ever since.
The price has tumbled by nearly a third as analysts across Wall Street have come out against the stock. At least five Wall Street analysts have the stock rated as "Sell," with another two calling it a "Hold."
Anthony DiClemente of Nomura Instinet wrote that four reasons were limiting Snapchat's upside:
- "Already slowing growth in daily active users (DAUs)."
- "Slowing monetization (ARPU) growth."
- "Fierce competition from larger rivals such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp."
- "Rich valuation relative to current and future growth."
Others are pointing to the fact that common shareholders don't have voting rights as a reason to be downbeat on the stock.
Brian Wieser, an analyst at Pivotal Research Group, might be the most bearish analyst on Wall Street when it comes to Snapchat. Back when the stock debuted, he assigned a $10 target, saying the stock was "significantly overvalued given the likely scale of its long-term opportunity and the risks associated with executing against that opportunity."
