Physical Therapy, or PT, can help your child increase strength, flexibility or endurance, and improve posture, balance and movement (such as walking). Therapy can help improve overall function and reduce disability. PT generally involves "gross motor" therapy, which means large body parts, such as the legs, but it can involve the entire body.
PT may be provided for your baby, toddler or school age child, depending on her needs. If you have a child with a developmental delay, disability or medical condition, her doctor may recommend PT. Likewise, if your child is evaluated for early intervention services by the Child Find services or by your local school district, she may qualify for PT services. (See my posts on early intervention for babies and toddlers or intervention for children ages 3 and older to learn how to request an evaluation for free.) PT falls under the umbrella of "Related Services" which is available for children with disabilities, in order for them to benefit from special education.
In most cases, if your child qualifies (based on the results of an evaluation), she will receive the PT services for free. However, every state has slightly different regulations, so you should check with your state to find out more specifics.
Who provides the PT services?
The IDEA (law) says that physical therapy means "services provided by a qualified physical therapist." Every state requires a physical therapist to be licensed. A physical therapist is highly educated. In fact, according to their credentialing organization, the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), "all physical therapists must receive a graduate degree from an accredited physical therapist program before taking the national licensure exam that allows them to practice. Physical therapists have the most specialized education to help people restore and improve motion."
Where will the PT take place?
If your child qualifies for PT, services will be provided at a place that is appropriate for your child. This may be your home, a PT center, hospital, or your child's local school. PTs who work with children are usually very creative. They find engaging ways to interact with your child, making the sessions fun while working toward goals. Kids usually enjoy PT sessions and look forward to them.
Remembering back to when my daughter received PT, she "played" with scarves and bean bags, ran obstacle courses, climbed ropes and balanced on huge balls or balance beams. She loved playing games such as Twister with some of her classmates. She even learned to ride a tricycle in her PT sessions!
What will the goals of PT be?
Specific needs and goals will be outlined in your child's individualized plan. This is called an IFSP – Individualized Family Service Plan (for kids from birth to age 3) and an IEP -Individualized Education Program (for kids ages 3 and older). This document will provide details of the services she will receive, such as the specific goals to be achieved, how often she will see the physical therapist and the place where services will take place. Parents, as team members, have input into the creation of this very important document.
Often a PT will coordinate therapy goals with your child's other therapists, such as an occupational therapist, to maximize results. And, it is important that a child's teacher understand the goals and objectives of the PT sessions so that progress can be integrated into the classroom.
Remember, the goals to be achieved are specific to each individual child, and is based on her needs. Every child is unique! There is no one-size-fits-all plan. And, at a minimum, goals need to be reviewed and updated yearly. See my prior post on how to create a good IEP.
Bottom line
Physical therapy has helped many babies, toddlers and children to overcome obstacles. If your child qualifies to receive this service, it may make a huge difference in her life!

Hillsboro second baseman Madison Klein committed consecutive errors on batted balls in the bottom of the fifth inning in the first game against Hesston.
The two missed grounders with the bases loaded allowed Hesston to take a 5-3 lead in the game. The Swathers scored two more runs in the sixth inning on a two-RBI ground rule double by Hesston shortstop Tayler Schuler. Schuler went 2-for-3 in the game with three RBIs on two doubles.
A towering Bradli Nowak home run over the left-field fence led off the seventh inning for the Trojans. Emily Jost, Julie Sinclair, and Erin Loewen reached to load the bases but Kennedy Lucero popped out to Schuler and Bina struck out on a change-up to end the threat. Hesston won the game, 7-5.
Bina was upset with herself with her game one hitting. She went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk, but she also struck out twice.
"I was swinging at bad pitches," Bina said. "I wasn't making good decisions at the plate. You can't get down 0-2 right away."
Bina was just one of many Trojans who struggled against Hesston pitcher Aubrey Denno. Denno had 11 strikeouts in seven innings of work. She featured a dynamic pitch selection, with a fastball at about 70 mph often thrown in a hitter's eyes, a rise ball that looked very much like her fastball, a deceptive sinking change-up, and a breaking pitch. Denno is signed to play for Missouri State next year.
Denno's repertoire was on display in the fourth inning. Tena Loewen and Nowak reached with a double and single respectively, each batting balls in two strike counts into left field. Klein then reached on a fielder's choice attempt to get Loewen out at third base. With the bases loaded and no outs, Denno proceeded to strike out Jost, Julie Sinclair, and Erin Loewen.
"I saw the spin of the ball — it was a rise or a screw — but I couldn't lay off of it," Sinclair said.
Bina, Klein, and Sinclair all responded in the second game to give the Trojans an 18-8 victory.
"We're not going to back down," Bina said of the Trojans' attitude.
Bina's plate presence improved with a new Swather pitcher. She smashed two home runs over the left-field fence, one in the second inning and one in the third. Although she took advantage of a strong wind blowing out to left field, both line drive shots were long gone. The second homer scored Shannon Heiser and Lucero.
"I was smiling when I rounded the bases on the second one," Bina said.
Bina went 3-for-3, leading off the game with a single. She scored five runs, had four RBIs, recorded two walks, and stole a base.
The game did not start as well for Klein. Although she had an RBI single in the first inning, she committed two errors on one batted ball in the bottom of the first — missing a pop fly and overthrowing Erin Loewen at third base. With three Hillsboro errors total on the play, it allowed two Hesston runners to score.
In the next inning, Tena Loewen was brought in from center field to take over at second base. Klein went to right field with Allison Weber moving to center. Klein eventually moved back to second in the fourth inning. Sinclair finished 4 2/3 innings before Weber came in to finish the second game. Loewen moved back to center field.
Klein responded to a shaky fielding performance with a 5-for-5 game at the dish, including three runs and an RBI.
"Madison is such a confident person," Sinclair said. "She's great at not letting those things get in her head."
Sinclair was on the mound for Hillsboro in game two and was trying to not to let jams shake her confidence.
Sinclair mowed down the first two hitters on strikeouts in the first inning before errors allowed two unearned runs to score. She then surrendered a single to Morgan Eassten before getting a third K to end the inning.
"I thought at that point we were doing fine and we just had to get the third out," she said.
The Swather hitters started making contact in the third. The Trojans recorded back-to-back fly-ball outs on the first two hitters, but Eassten walked on four consecutive pitches. The next batter was Alex Deegan who connected on a long fly ball that sailed over the leftfield fence for a home run. Sinclair was momentarily rattled, allowing two more singles, before striking out the last batter of the inning.
"It didn't affect me too much," Sinclair said of allowing the home run. "I had confidence in the offense and the defense. It helps so much (when we're scoring runs). You relax so much more."
With runs from Nowak and Klein, the Trojans were up 9-4 in the bottom of the fourth. Sinclair got two pop-up outs but Eassten had a two-RBI line drive single to center field to put the Swathers within three runs. With Deegan coming up, head coach Stephanie Sinclair pulled her daughter in favor of Weber.
"I wanted to stay in. I wanted to face the girl who hit the home run," Julie Sinclair said. "It was a smart move though."
Although she gave up consecutive singles, Weber got out the inning with a grounder to Bina at shortstop. Weber then had two 1-2-3 innings to end the game, with all the outs coming from grounders.
Sinclair said the Hillsboro defense was a big help. The left side of the Hillsboro infield recorded seven outs in the game. Erin Loewen piled up four outs. Bina said she has developed chemistry with Loewen, communicating on any batted balls heading their way.
"It's good for us to have little bumps early in the season," Julie Sinclair said of the split. "By the end of the season, we can clear those up."

Eight Fears
yes I know it's completely irrational.
but there are a lot of people who are scared of balloons.
Roy, from The IT Crowd explains it best.
"Balloons explode, Jen. They explode suddenly, and unexpectedly. They are filled with the capacity to give me a little fright, and I find that unbearable."
big waves and stormy oceans.
I have nightmares!
not being good enough.
this is a main symptom of my anxiety.
it leads to perfectionism and worse...
running out of time to have children.
I'm 27 this year and never been in a serious relationship.
I have come to terms with the fact that I may never find "THE ONE"
but I want children!
But, you need a man to have children.
Unless I just buy some sperm.
That could work :)
poisonous snakes.
I'm not afraid of snakes that aren't poisonous.
and being from Australia, I know that snakes are more
afraid of me than I am of it.
I know where they're most likely to be found
and avoid it.
white tailed spiders & red back spiders
& other poisonous spiders.
If there's a white tailed spider inside I kill it.
if there is a red back spider outside away from the house
I leave it.
if there is a non-poisonoous spider in my room
I catch it and put it outside.
low heights.
for example, climbing ladders, or standing on chairs to get things
I'm fine with high heights.
I guess my reasoning is...
if I fall from low heights I'll hurt myself and be in pain
if I fall from high heights I'll die and then theres no pain.
yeah I know I'm weird.
yeah.... hahaha just kidding!

Rey's original concept (left) & restructured (right). Still kinda like his original sketch with the image in the middle.
Extension sheets
Acknowledged the need to have extension sheets for spell casters & retainers (to come later)
Interesting but space hungry (or impractical) data visualization .Bar chart for aptitudes, allegiance axis and hearts scratch pad. I may revisit and incorporate these if I can get them to work/fit.
Design test
Play tested character sheets (yay!) Extra marks for the profile sketch!
Current state (still work-in-progress)
Got few other ideas I want to try out (like multi-flavour variants: 8bit, Retro/classic, minimalist) but this attempt feels like a tidy/pracitcal design and I DO want to try and push this a little more. Anyone seen anything interesting? Like this awesome stuff by Nathan over at Platonicsolid.

The price of Ethereum (ETH/SEK) today is kr2,544.71 SEK with a total market cap of kr270,192,008,312.
With Ethereum cycling through its latest market crash, we ask what this blockchain is actually achieving in today's world and whether there is any hope for a price recovery [...]
USDC will be the first stablecoin to comply with US money transmission laws and its ERC20 specification will make it compatible with Ethereum smart contracts. This is the first of its kind, and quite frankly, it's a big deal.
Ethereum is facing a new narrative of pessimism. What is currently happening on the blockchain that may warrant a price that goes above and beyond $1,000?
Ethereum's recent decision to drop the block reward (coin supply inflation) from 3 Ether to 2 Ether, and Cboe's announcement of an Ethereum futures market has done nothing to sway investor sentiment.
Ethereum has suffered a steep decline in value, dropping sharply from $731 3 months ago, to $258 at the time of writing - a fall of over 60%. Where does Ethereum go from here?

Quintessentially & Co had the privilege of producing Cunard's celebration of the re-mastering of the magnificent Queen Mary II ship on the 23rd of June this year. The refit saw both the exterior and interior of the ship transformed, making the Queen Mary II the most magnificent cruise ship crossing the Atlantic. Guests consisted of press and VIPs who were given an exclusive tour of the ship, allowing them to see all the extraordinary improvements to areas including the Royal Court Theatre and the Planetarium.
To help Cunard celebrate this amazing achievement, Quintessentially organised a VIP drinks reception in a beautiful marquee overlooking the ship. The décor of the marquee was nautically inspired and celebrated the history of the Queen Mary II through the years. As the ship set sail for New York, it was joined in an amazing spectacle by the Queen Victoria and the Queen Elizabeth, with all three ships travelling down the Southampton River Test to the open water. Each ship calling to each other with the sound of their horns with fireworks provided the perfect send off for the occasion.

Business ethics
All employees are expected to comply with the standards set out in our WPP Code of Conduct and Group Sustainability Policy. These provide guidance for our people in dealing with a wide range of ethical, social and environmental subjects and are available on our website and intranet. Both are regularly updated.
To reinforce the importance of meeting high ethical standards, the senior management of each WPP company are required to sign a statement annually confirming they comply with WPP's Code of Conduct. Our Code of Conduct is supported by more detailed policies which cover a range of issues such as gifts and entertainment and the appointment of advisors. These are included in the WPP Policy Book.
All employees must undertake our online 'How we behave' ethics training which is based on the WPP Code of Conduct. It covers topics such as diversity, responsibility to stakeholders, and avoiding misleading work. It uses scenarios to help employees identify and respond appropriately to ethical issues they may encounter in their work and includes a written introduction from Sir Martin Sorrell, our CEO. To reach employees across our businesses, training is provided in a variety of ways, including online and face to face. Employees must also complete our online training on anti-bribery and corruption, which covers the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and UK Bribery Act 2010 and issues such as hospitality and gifts. By the end of 2011, over 100,000 employees had undertaken both sets of training. We intend to refresh both training courses during 2012.
In 2011, we appointed a compliance officer to oversee our approach to ethics and compliance and to provide support and guidance to our operating companies. She reports to our Group chief counsel and director of Internal Audit.
Employees can report any concerns or suspected cases of misconduct in confidence through our third party-managed Right to Speak facility, overseen by our internal audit department. This is publicised through induction packs, the Group intranet, the WPP Policy Book and our ethics training. There were 42 calls made via Right to Speak during 2011, all of which were followed up.
We expect associate companies (those in which we hold a minority stake) and affiliate companies (preferred partners which we may refer business to) to adopt ethical standards which are consistent with our own. We communicate our expectations to associates and affiliates and we are extending our ethics training and anti-bribery and corruption training to employees of WPP's associate companies.

I followed a link someone had liked on Facebook. Spoke to the lovely husband, who agreed it would be fun, and before I knew it…
We had marked out string-lines and had started digging
Some of us did more digging than others….
And we made these awesome frames – lined with plastic. The frames were made of standard length treated pine sleepers, with the shorter ends being the same length, just chopped in half at the timber store.
Crikey there was some digging!
And a significant amount of levelling to allow for the slope of our block – meaning that the top 2 are on the same level, with the bottom 2 needing to be lowered quite a lot.
One of the nicest discoveries was that our soil is actually magnificent – not too sandy (we are bayside), and not too clay, but somewhere lovely in the middle. But we didn't have quite enough, so we ordered a square metre of 'Fiveways' that is perfect for planting veggies and that went right over the top as a great start, that will be built on with our own compost over the years.
And some paving was added – with pockets for flowers and ground covers.
And some prettier tomato stakes. I hope they are strong enough!
The decision to turn over half of our backyard to a vegetable garden was an exciting one. Not only because we love our veggies, and having fresh organic ones from our own backyard will be delicious, and perhaps save us some money once all this setup has been defrayed, but because the kids are thrilled with the idea of having a backyard 'farm' and can't wait to go harvesting. I am getting an enormous amount of pleasure just looking at it, and seeing how things have grown seemingly overnight. In the 2 weeks since we started, we have lost a few things, but some have doubled in size, and more have been planted in the meantime. And it is so relaxing, just enjoying the sunshine for a bit while watering, and chatting to the eggplants and tomatoes.
I am positively evangelistic at the moment – and I'm sure that will level out too, but hopefully it's the start of a lifelong journey of nourishing the soil, and being nourished by the soil. Watching the seasons change and embracing new crops. Fighting off pests and possums, and embracing home even further, not just as a place to escape to, but as an escape in itself. This kind of gardening, is deliciously relaxing. As will be the chickens we hope when they come…..
Let's hope Oscar find the chickens as fascinating as he found this worm. Nice from a distance, just not worth touching….

Red Robin Deploys NetIQ Products to Increase Security, Measure Performance and Meet Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance for Critical Systems
Downtime decreased by 50 percent with NetIQ AppManager and NetIQ Security Manager
Press Release
ORLANDO, Fla.
At NetConnect™ 2005, NetIQ Corp. (Nasdaq: NTIQ), a leading provider of integrated systems and security management solutions, today announced that Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, a national restaurant chain, has chosen NetIQ® AppManager® Suite and NetIQ Security Manager™ software to provide insight into the performance of its network and mission-critical applications such as VoIP, as well as meet Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. By embracing Knowledge-Based Service Assurance, NetIQ's unique approach to delivering systems and security management solutions, Red Robin is now empowered with the knowledge and insight to assure service across the entire network.
"Visibility into the network is critical for our IT department to proactively address issues before our end users are affected," said Bill Randall, director of MIS Infrastructure at Red Robin. "We were looking for a robust solution that would allow us to proactively monitor the health of our network, improve the quality and timeliness of our reporting and prevent security breaches."
By deploying both NetIQ's systems and security management products, Red Robin was able to:
Gain Network Visibility
With a small IT staff, it was essential for Red Robin to have visibility into its network to proactively monitor systems rather than reactively respond to emergencies and open issues from its end users. The team, which supports more than 140 employees at Red Robin's corporate headquarters in Denver, Colo. and more than 150 restaurant sites across the U.S., implemented AppManager to assure the health of the network. This visibility has enabled the IT staff to immediately respond to irregularities in the network before disruption of critical business services can occur. As a result, Red Robin has been able to reduce network downtime by 50 percent and save approximately $130,000 in 2004.
Automate Tasks
In March 2004, Red Robin called in Performance Enhancements, Inc. (PEI), a member of the NetIQ® Authorized Reseller program, to help implement AppManager to automatically and proactively monitor its mission critical applications and network servers. This automation cut the administration time from eight to 12 hours a week, to one to two hours per week. For example, AppManager plays a critical role in maintaining the reliability and quality of Red Robin's VoIP network. Since using AppManager, the IT team has noticed a 50 percent decrease of on-call inquiries and long distance phone calls. Automation of these tasks also has freed up team resources, allowing them to spend more time on implementing and deploying technology that assists in meeting Red Robin's business objectives.
"One of the reasons Red Robin chose NetIQ is because NetIQ provides products that evolve with the market and with the company's business needs," said Scott Scharf, PEI. "Red Robin has already seen major performance and capability improvements since deploying AppManager and NetIQ Security Manager. That is not always the case with other products."
Enhance Security for Compliance
The restaurant chain deployed NetIQ Security Manager to assure that financial data, including daily earnings, were protected at all times. NetIQ Security Manager helped to assure internal controls, required as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley regulation. The internal controls included user account maintenance, enforcement of policies and data accessibility permissions.
In addition, NetIQ Security Manager provides Red Robin with the ability to correlate log events and then create new rules for alerting or blocking harmful activities. Red Robin uses NetIQ Security Manager to create rules that generate an alert when combinations of a high number of failed log-on attempts are followed by a reset of the Windows event log. NetIQ Security Manager provides the ability for Red Robin to view combinations of related events from routers and Windows logs and to then generate actions to stop malicious attempts to penetrate the network.
"Red Robin is an excellent example of how organizations are becoming more proactive at managing service levels to internal and external customers through a unified approach to systems and security management," said Matt Dircks, senior vice president and general manager of Systems and Security Management Products at NetIQ. "End users frankly don't care if their messaging infrastructure is down due to a denial of service attack or because of a hard drive failure. They just know that their critical business systems are not available and look for solutions like those from NetIQ to help assure service levels across their enterprise."

Open-source scanning and governance specialist OpenLogic said that the first quarter of 2012 saw a 730 percent increase in the number of files scanned by its software. Suggesting both a deeper and wider implementation of open source software application development and deployment at the enterprise level, these "findings" come at the same time as comments from Gartner pointing to as many as 50 percent of firms having some level of open source software deployment in production.
Code scanning tools are argued to be near-essential when implementing open source components due to the licence obligations and the wider legalities often associated with commercial usage.
"Our enterprise customers applaud our open-source scanners' speed and accuracy and appreciate that our product road map is driven largely by customer input. Our agility has enabled us to conduct scans on millions of files quickly and accurately for our growing number of customers," said Steve Grandchamp, chief executive of OpenLogic.
OpenLogic's OSS Discovery is a free, open source software tool that helps companies find the open source software embedded in applications and installed on workstations and servers. OSS Discovery produces an inventory of open source software, which helps enterprises better manage open source software usage and comply with policies, regulations, and licenses. Closely allied to this product, OSS Deep Discovery scans developer's source code and binaries to help identify potential licensing action points, even when the open-source code has been modified, augmented, or copied.
This open source code scanning news comes in the same week that the Linux Foundation has announced the availability of The Linux Foundation FOSS Bar Code Tracker.
Released as an open source project under the MIT license, the new software tool aims to simplify the way open source components are tracked and reported by using an auto-generated, custom QR code for each product. The QR code contains important information on the Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) stack contained in a product, such as component names, version numbers, license information, and links to download the source code, among other details.
"As the supply chain has gotten more distributed, the process of license compliance needs to be easy, fast, and streamlined. The Linux Foundation's new FOSS Bar Code Tracker addresses this with a tool everyone can use," said Eben Moglen, executive director, Software Freedom Law Center. "Automating this process will result in gains for FOSS developers, manufacturers embedding FOSS in their products, and users who want to get the most value from the products they buy."

Mommy Madness Story Submission: "A New Kind Of Finger Paint!"
We've got another Mommy Madness story for you, and this one's a doozy. It's not abnormal for children to play with finger paint, but this kid takes it to another level.
I had put my son to bed in a shirt and diaper on a hot summer day. He was a sleeping angel, so cute. Then he woke up, took off his diaper, and proceeded to play in what he thought was "all-natural finger paint."
He had poop all over his face, his body, his crib, and the wall! I was so grossed out! He didn't have a clean spot on him for me to carry him to the tub. I had to wrap him in a towel. Daddy thought it was funny until my son did it again a few weeks later and Daddy had to help with the clean-up. My little guy NEVER slept without shorts or pants on again.
And yes, I have pictures for future embarrassment purposes.
This is what happens when your baby tries to change his or her own diaper. Moral of the story: babies should sleep with shorts or pants on. More Mommy Madness coming soon.

by Bianca Phillips - The Memphis Flyer -
Earlier this year, Livable Memphis won a federal Recreational Trails grant to fund the development of a bike path leading from Overton Park to Broad Avenue.
But thanks to a new Federal Transportation Bill signed into law two weeks ago, future federal grants funding biking and pedestrian projects may be harder to come by. The bill cut dedicated biking and walking funds by 33 percent, and it gives state governors the power to divert even more of those funds for highway projects.
"The state has more discretion about whether they want to even set aside this money for additional biking and walking activities. Fifty percent of that money can now go into highway spending, or they can keep it and administer a statewide competition for grants at the local level. That's a huge change," said Anthony Siracusa, president of Bike Walk Tennessee.
The bill lumps the Recreational Trails program into the same category with the Safe Routes to Schools program, which promotes biking and walking to schools, and the Transportation Enhancements Program, which funds things like interstate rest stops, scenic vistas, and landscaping.
Before, each program was funded separately, and now they're all funded using the same money, which was cut by 33 percent from the past funding structure. Additionally, governors can decide if they want to retain the trails program at all.
"The state gets to decide if they want to retain the Recreational Trails program. It's a small amount of money, but the governor could decide we don't want to build trails anymore," said Kyle Wagenschutz, bicycle and pedestrian coordinator for the Memphis Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).
Half of the overall funding for trails, Safe Routes to Schools, and enhancements may be diverted into other highway projects, depending on what the governor wants to do with the funds.
"That's where we would see the biggest hit from all of these changes. They could transfer those funds to build a highway," Wagenschutz said.
But another change to the bill may actually help Shelby County. Before, all cities in Tennessee had to compete for federal biking and pedestrian funds. But the new bill administers half of its funds to local MPOs, like the one in Shelby County, so it may be used for a local competition between, say, Memphis and Bartlett.
"Under the previous legislation, we'd submit an application to the Tennessee Department of Transportation, and they'd compare our application with others from across the state. In 2011, no municipality in Shelby County was awarded a Transportation Enhancement grant," Wagenschutz said. "A lot of other counties got great stuff, but we were competing with small and large communities."
Wagenschutz said Shelby County stands to benefit from this change, and he doesn't think the cuts to biking and walking spending will be too much of a hit for Memphis since bike lanes can also be funded using other road-building dollars.
"In the city of Memphis, all of the bike lanes we've constructed over the past two years did not use any of these dedicated bicycle and pedestrian sources," Wagenschutz said. "We used traditional road maintenance and construction dollars."
Nevertheless, Livable Memphis is encouraging biking and walking advocates to advocate for the governor retaining all biking and walking funds rather than diverting the 50 percent and eliminating the trails program.
"We're really going to have to step up advocacy because the money is not guaranteed for these programs," said Elizabeth Soba with Livable Memphis. "There's a pot of money there, but it's not specified for biking and walking like it used to be."

"We outline conventions and then proceed to suggest practical ways to undermine or alter those conventions. We use specific examples to illustrate the points we're trying to make. Our ultimate goal is to help you develop better screenplays. To do this, we talk about form, content, character, and language, while pressing you to develop alternative narrative strategies that prompt you to write the best screenplay you can write… We want you to look beyond the surface of scriptwriting, beyond form. You'll be surprised what you find." –Ken Dancyger & Jeff Rush (excerpt from Chapter 1: Beyond Form)
This 5th edition of "Alternative Scriptwriting: Beyond the Hollywood Formula" by Ken Dancyger and Jeff Rush may be the best book on screenwriting that I have ever read. While most screenwriting manuals focus on the traditional three-act structure, this book goes far beyond structure and focuses on many other aspects of the scriptwriting form. The text also challenges the belief that the 3-act restorative structure is the only effective writing method. Other alternatives are presented to the reader, and these alternatives are elaborated upon in vivid detail. We learn what is gained and lost by challenging the traditional form. This book is recommended as a chaser for manuals by Syd Field and Robert McKee. It might make these more traditional texts easier to swallow.

So, perhaps most importantly, we've found boxes big enough! Granted, we may still have a search ahead of us to find the box, but in the mean time we are now the proud owners of two cardboard beasts that will serve us well throughout rehearsals. And what an end to – what was becoming – a rather fruitless goose-chase (excuse the mixed metaphors)! We'd emailed and searched and hunted and pleaded, but have eventually managed to get our hands on the not-so-little devils. And now the real work can begin.
With our first booked performances creeping up on us, we need to get started – but the last thing we want is to rush what is going to be our debut as 'AndOn Theatre. We want to test the water, as it were. And what better way to do that than with a scratch?
For those looking a little puzzled, scratches are a devised theatre practitioner's dream; a chance for a Show and Fail before an audience that subsequently rip you apart. Sound scary? Well, of course, no one likes to be criticised, but scratches offer outside feedback and advice from precisely the sort of strangers that will be paying to watch you a few months down the line. The opportunity to present a Work in Progress is one that should be neither sniffed at nor shied away from, and the plan is to get one or two of these under our belts, to make sure our (ahem) adoring public shall be getting the very best of us.
We've also been busying ourselves with maximising on another gem: social media. With the website up and running, and Facebook and Twitter giving us a friendly helping hand, the Internet is unquestionably the most effective way to get yourself and your work 'out there'. So we've made a trailer. A little snapshot of what's to come and what's worth staying tuned for. Bear with us while we get it all ready to go and then give us a hand (if you wouldn't mind) in making it go… everywhere. The Internet may be the tool of all tools, but that's only because of the people that use it. Give us a 'like', a 'share', a 're-tweet' or a 'comment', and help us get a leg up, so that we can start harnessing our art, and using it. Theatre is the most influential medium of change, but not if nobody sees it, or even know its happening.
Right, well, shameless plea over, and onto an amusing co-incidence in the world of ideas, and why 'AndOn Theatre and McDonalds' Head Office have a common interest. Have a little look at this:
On the one hand, I'm thinking, 'well, we must be onto something here, McDs are doing it, too', which is probably the optimistic opinion to stick with. On the other, however, 'the cheeky bleeders nicked our idea'… clearly the irrationally stupid approach!
Either way, we found it quite a funny turn up for the books, and embrace the fact that kids do love a box, and so do we!
Until next time, Happy Easter from Josh and Ray.

Recently I was searching for a way to store my stud earrings so that they're organized, but I can still see them. When they're hidden away in a jewelry box I tend to forget about them, and I wanted a way to make them easy to see but keep them contained. For my hook earrings I have something like this, but with lace fabric instead of metal. Unfortunately it doesn't work for stud earrings. I wasn't coming up with any good DIY solutions, though, until I saw a metal mesh pencil cup at a thrift store. It's perfect for storing and displaying stud earrings, and you can keep bracelets or other jewelry inside. I haven't seen this storage solution before, so I thought it was worth sharing. These mesh pencil cups come in a variety of sizes, are easy to find secondhand, and even new, they're pretty inexpensive. I've seen them in black, white, and silver, and I bet you could even paint them with spray paint made for metal.
I started thinking about other DIY jewelry solutions out there, and decided to share a few projects I came across. People are repurposing all kinds of things for jewelry storage.
This rack is made from cutlery trays.
Vintage teacups and bowls look pretty filled with jewelry in a drawer.
This was a serving tray.
There are lots of variations of turning a paper towel holder into a jewelry rack.
Even muffin tins can make cute jewelry storage.
How do you store your jewelry? Any genius solutions to share?

...or more specifically development and bug testing.
Yes, RedHat did it first with the Fedora Project and that endeavor is moving along quite well. Remember how we all bemoaned the loss of RedHat Linux? And, in the beginning there was much concern over FC's stability but IMHO everything is working out just fine. FC gives you bleeding-edge technology and is pretty stable, at least in my experience. It is amazingly fast (especially with my old GeForce4 card when tainting the kernel with the nVIDIA drivers ;-). I currently use Fedora Core 3 with packages from FreshRPMS and others for desktop and multi-media applications. It works great! If you need an enterprise GNU/Linux solution along the lines of RHEL but don't need a support contract, CentOS builds a fine distribution.
At any rate, RedHat took a bold step in the Fedora Project initiative and I think they deserve a lot of credit for it, especially for all the heat they took over it.
Novell/SuSE has obviously seen the advantages of the this approach and is reaching out to the community in opening up SuSE Linux to outside contributors. This is a huge step, but not unproven. I think it was a very wise decision which will benefit both the company and the community. Thanks SuSE!

Encryption ransomware. Data corruption. Accidental deletion. Hardware failure. Fire, flood, and other natural disasters. The causes of data loss are numerous, and anyone who has experienced it knows the importance of backups.
One of the most common reasons to restore from a backup is encryption ransomware or a crypto virus. This malicious software typically infects a workstation through an email attachment and encrypts all of the data it can find on the local system and across your network, including servers. Once encrypted, it is impossible to decrypt the files without purchasing the encryption key. Your only options are to restore from backup or pay the ransom. And if the ransomware predates your backups? You're stuck paying criminals to unlock YOUR data.
Here's one situation TechCentral's support teams have come across.
"Dr. Smith's" office is paperless, and data is housed on a server in the office. The office manager runs a backup every night to an external hard drive. Monday evening, the backup is run, but on Tuesday, someone opens an infected email attachment, and the virus goes to work. Tuesday evening, the backup is run as usual, and Wednesday morning the staff receives a warning that the data is encrypted, and the software is down. The backup from the night before is useless because it, too, is infected.
How can data loss situations like this, and others, be avoided?
- Use multiple backup drives in a daily rotation for the days you are open, plus a monthly and a yearly backup.
Having multiple points in time from which you can restore data is the best way to protect data in case of disaster or corruption that goes unnoticed.
- Always store the most recent backup drive offsite.
Having key drives offsite, away from an environmental disaster like fire or flood, protects against a full data disaster.
- Add an offsite or cloud backup solution as a backup to the onsite backup.
Have at least three copies of your data: the original (your server), a local copy stored on a hard drive or other storage device, and an online storage service.
- Check your backup software logs frequently to ensure they are running successfully.
The frequency of your backups affect how much data loss you will sustain. What's your data loss comfort level? Make sure your backup schedule aligns with it.
Why Not Get Professional Help?
Managing a backup solution that is robust enough to protect your practice's data is complicated, and it's easy to get lost in the details. Henry Schein TechCentral can help tailor a backup solution to your practice's needs.
TechCentral offers consulting services, maintenance, and support programs to keep your critical business systems running. To learn more about TechCentral support and maintenance options, call 877.483.0382, option 1, or visit www.henryscheintechcentral.com.

PONTIAC, Mich. – Friday, July 21, 2017 – The only time the Des Moines Menace ousted the Michigan Bucks from the Premier Development League playoffs was in 2005.
That is, until tonight.
The Menace was victorious over the hosting Bucks, 2-0, in the Central Conference semifinals inside Ultimate Soccer Arenas. The win advances Des Moines to tomorrow night's final against Heartland Division champion and arch-rival Thunder Bay Chill.
In 2014 and 2016, the Bucks ended the Menace's seasons en route to PDL championships. Entering tonight, Michigan had a 6-1 advantage in playoff matches against Des Moines, with the Menace's sole victory coming in the run to the 2005 title.
"Michigan is just a dominant team, and they've showed that in previous years," Menace head coach John Pascarella said. "They're used to having the ball more. We knew that if we could make them nervous, and if we could keep the ball a little bit, they would get frustrated, and we could capitalize."
And in the 69th minute, it finally happened.
From the middle of the field, Ramone Howell broke away from the steadfast defense, dribbled past three defenders and, with his left foot, slotted the ball near-post to defeat Michigan goalkeeper Drew Shepherd from a tight angle.
"I saw space and said, 'I'm going for it'," Howell said. "We needed that goal, and I'm glad I had my team to back me up."
Then, in the 82nd minute, Howell teamed up with Valparaiso teammate Isaiah Madrid to add some insurance. Howell delivered a cross that bounced in the box until Madrid finished it in the low-left corner of the net.
Madrid's goal all but solidified a momentous win for the Menace. Goalkeeper Kyle Ihn, captain Brandon Fricke and their defense shut down the Bucks' final attacks, and the Menace earned a satisfying shutout in a showdown between the PDL's most storied franchises.
The Menace is one win from the PDL semifinals, held next Saturday at two host sites.
Thunder Bay won today's all-Canadian opener, 2-0. The Chill defeated K-W United – a team the Menace faced in the previous three postseasons.
Despite meeting at least two times in the regular season each of the last 18 seasons, Des Moines and Thunder Bay have yet to clash in the postseason. The Menace won the 2017 season series 2-1, with a doubleheader split in Canada (1-0 on June 9 and 0-2 on June 10) and a 1-0 home win (June 17).
"Tomorrow's game is a final, and it's against a team that tries to play," Pascarella said. "It's against a team that in every match we've played this year, it's been a close game, and I have no doubt it will be the same tomorrow."
MAN of the MATCH: Ramone Howell for his opening goal, assist to Isaiah Madrid and relentless effort. Howell is a student-athlete at Valparaiso and has been with the Menace for three years.
UP NEXT: The Menace is in the Central Conference final! Kickoff against Thunder Bay is set for 7:30 p.m. (EDT) in Pontiac, Mich.
Match: Des Moines Menace at Michigan Bucks
Date: Friday, July 21, 2017 Competition: Premier Development League Central Conference semifinal Venue: Ultimate Soccer Arenas (indoor, artificial turf) in Pontiac, Mich. Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. EDT
Scoring Summary: 1 2 F MENACE 0 2 2 MICH 0 0 0
MENACE – Ramone Howell 69:00; Isaiah Madrid 82:00
ABOUT THE MENACE: The Des Moines Menace provides the highest level of soccer in Iowa. In its 24th season, the Menace men's team competes in the Premier Development League (PDL). In its sixth season, the Menace women's team is part of the Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL). With loyal support, the Menace men's and women's teams play their home games at the Valley Stadium in West Des Moines to provide family-fun entertainment. The Menace organization provides the growth of the game of soccer in Iowa with their youth soccer programs, including Junior Menace (ages 3-9), Menace Youth Academy (ages six and older), and tournaments, camps and clinics.

Sadly Mr Winterton has signed David Tredinnick's silly motion on homeopathy and the report of the Science and Technology Committee's report, EDM 908, and has thus joined what is being referred to as the "Stupid List".
This is the email I sent to him today. I'll update with any responses.
Dear Mr Winterton,
Recently we were very lucky that the Science & Technology Committee investigated the use of Homeopathy in the UK. It was a balanced and well deliberated investigation.
The MP David Tredinnick has asked MPs to sign EDM 908.
This is an attempt to subvert a remarkably well researched piece of evidence.
The fact that it was raised by an advocate of astrology should raise sufficient doubts about the motives behind a blatant attempt to undermine a parliamentary investigation into mumbo-jumbo and quackery.
You may be interested to know that many bloggers and famous commentators are keeping an eye on what they call the Stupid List (EDM 908). Frankly, having our paid representatives championing quackery does us no good service.
To suggest that public money should be spent on quack treatments that do not work and have been proved to be no more effective than placebo (in other words giving no real medicine at all!) when we see that the health service is having to restrict the use of real drugs with proven benefits for, say, cancer patients is appalling.
If we allow uninformed or misguided opinion or just sheer ignorance or prejudice to rule the health service in this country then we will be in trouble. It is science that is needed not non science.
I note that you have signed this motion and hope that you will reconsider this and remove your name; I am sure that, now you have been alerted to the real facts, you will reconsider your position.
A full and balanced commentary on this misguided motion can be found here:
I f you would like more information on this subject to help you represent your constituents better, then I will be happy to help.

24th March. Still no reply,not even the courtesy of an acknowledgement.
Well, here we are. 31 March and still no reply. One really has to start to doubt the commitment of Mr Winterton to serving his constituents; you know, the ones who pay for his rail fares.
And the Macclesfield Conservative Association don't seem much better. An email (via their site's "contact us" thing) about this matter still has had no reply.
However, interesting news: the "Stupid List", of which Mr Winterton is a member, seems to be getting more publicity.
The esteemed Mr Colquhoun has commented here
And SpiderComment makes it to Wikipedia here
The sooner this man goes, the better, although the Macclesfield Conservatives seem to want to uphold his less than proud tradition.

New Hampshire House Vote Could Impact Clean Power Plan Compliance
By Peter Ellis, Staff Contributor
The New Hampshire House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to remain a member of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), but to reallocate 100% of the money raised through emission allowance auctions towards rebates for ratepayers. Any decision about RGGI participation or fund allocation could significantly impact how the state complies with upcoming EPA regulation under the Clean Air Act.
As originally introduced, HB 208 would have repealed the state's RGGI program entirely, removing New Hampshire from the group of nine states that use a market-based approach to cap their collective CO2 emissions. The bill was referred to the House Science, Technology and Energy Committee, however, where it was amended to maintain participation in RGGI, but instead alter the distribution of funds raised in state emission auctions.
Currently, 80% of auction funds go towards ratepayer rebates, with the remaining 20% used to fund energy efficiency projects. The amended version of HB 208, however, allocates 100% of auction funds to ratepayers.
Any changes to New Hampshire's RGGI program could have significant impacts on how the state chooses to comply with the Clean Power Plan, the EPA's upcoming regulation under § 111(d) of the Clean Air Act. As initially proposed in June of last year, the Clean Power Plan requires states to submit implementation plans meeting either a rate-based or mass-based emission goal set by the agency. Notably, EPA's proposal allows for both individual and multi-state plans. While it's unclear whether New Hampshire and the other RGGI states would submit a single joint plan, the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services made it clear in its comments to EPA that the current RGGI framework would ideally play a large role in achieving compliance. If the state were to repeal that framework, it would likely have to create an entirely new regulatory scheme as part of a viable implementation plan.
Even the defunding of New Hampshire's energy efficiency programs, which the House did pass, could significantly impact Clean Power Plan compliance. The proposed regulation calculates state emission goals using four "Building Blocks" capturing the statutorily required "Best System of Emission Reduction." Building Block #4 estimates that states can increase demand-side efficiency to an annual incremental savings rate of least 1.5 percent by 2020. While no state is required to utilize any or all of the Building Blocks EPA used in its goal calculation, New Hampshire would still face a tough road if it were to significantly cut its energy efficiency projects. Without utilizing efficiency for plan compliance, the state would likely have to place even stricter limits on power plant emissions or invest more heavily in renewable energy. Given that New Hampshire's proposed rate-based goal is the fifth most stringent in the country, there may not be much leeway to disregard energy efficiency entirely.
The debate in New Hampshire may reflect a larger trend nationally, in which state legislatures are forced to reconcile their political agendas with regulatory compliance. Whether intentional or benign, state legislation making Clean Power Plan compliance more difficult will only serve to inflame the political and legal fight over the regulation in the years to come.

Here are some photos from Cayton Photography of the couple and their wedding.
Happy 1st Anniversary, Bonnie and Erin!
Bonnie & Erin – Ski Tip Lodge
When looking through the photos from our weddings last year, I realized that our 2008 season started in March last year. I thought that I would post a few pictures from one of the first weddings (I will be posting photos from all our 2008 weddings in the coming weeks.)
Bonnie and Erin were married at the Ski Tip Lodge in Keystone, CO on March 15, 2008. They had a lot of wonderful touches that personalized the event. More of the details can be seen in the Brides Colorado magazine currently on stands.

I remember so well the first time I stayed overnight in an Orthodox Christian monastery. I dreamed of every Christian camp and conference I had attended up to that point in my life, for they represented the highest and deepest of my spiritual experience. After just one day in the concentrated prayers of the monastic daily cycle, those previous experiences of prayer became as mere foretastes of reality. Continue reading

Cultural Camping
I cannot believe it has taken our family this long to start camping seriously. It is such a close cousin to the dacha experience in Russia only without the growing of crops, for camping tends to be of much shorter duration than Dacha. Growing up with Asthma, I was rarely able to even go anywhere overnight in a tent. Now that I am older and less affected by allergies, I am making up for lost time in my contact with the natural world. Continue reading
Where Everybody Knows Your Name
Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came…
This theme song from the great American sit-com Cheers is more than an opening for a TV show. It is an expression for a nation overworked and undernourished by the food of community life. We all long for a place to rest where the familiar faces and time-honored routine settles around us like a warm, inviting bear hug. We long for such an experience and expect to find it in places like the church, but all too often our local church suffers from the same coldness and isolation as the world. Continue reading
The Calm of the Cape
Our first family camping trip brings us to Cape Cod at a state park near Brewster. Everything here on this 65 mile long sand bar is measured by relative distance to exit numbers off of the one highway that runs end to end. "Oh, it's near exit 10, but I live near exit 7." This miniature paradise feels cozy and at the same time expansive. With ocean on either side of the arm, it does not take long to drive or even walk to the nearest stretch of sand and salt water. At low tide, a person can disappear on the horizon, walking out onto the wet sand and wading into shallow tidal pools. Continue reading

A knife-wielding robber who terrorised two guests in their rooms at a Blackpool hotel has had his jail term cut on appeal.
Alistair Scott Haines, 23, was staying at Uncle Brian's Hotel in Springfield Road in January last year.
He used two knives to rob and terrify two other guests as they relaxed on their beds.
Haines, of no fixed abode, was jailed for 15 years, plus a three-year extended licence period, in March last year.
He pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery, theft, and possessing a bladed article at Preston Crown Court.
Top judges at London's Criminal Appeal Court cut his jail term to 12-and-a-half years.
Lord Justice Treacy heard that Haines, who was homeless at the time, was staying at the hotel on January 30.
He knocked on the door of another guest and asked to borrow his tablet computer.
He was admitted to the room but then began "rambling," produced a knife, and proceeded to tie up the occupant of the room and demand his keys.
The man struggled free, sustaining cuts, and grappled with Haines, wresting the knife from him.
Haines fled that room but shortly afterwards another man awoke in his room to find the robber looming over him with a knife.
The intruder had stolen the blade from the hotel kitchen and again demanded keys.
After the alarm was raised, Haines rushed into the street, still in possession of a knife, before being arrested.
Lawyers for Haines claimed his total sentence was too high and ought to be reduced. The court was told that he had endured a difficult childhood.
The judge sitting with Mr Justice Foskett and Mr Justice Fraser described the offences as "disturbing and giving rise to huge concern."
But he went on to reduce the sentence, saying that 15 years was too long for him to be locked up .
"In all the circumstances we consider that reducing the sentence to 12 and a half years would be appropriate," he concluded.
In order to protect the public, the extended licence period was increased from three years to four.
