There are many reasons why I'm BEYOND excited about this:
#1 - I put my body through hell, and need to be sure I am taking all the steps necessary to care for it (dry needling is my personal fav treatment for muscle knots and sore spots)
#2: Bellefleur's owners/physios are community leaders, and deeply involved with the Orleans communtiy (something that is very important to me)
#3 Did I mention that they are award winning physiotherapists?!?! Voted Health Care Professional of the Year and Business Person of the Year!!
#4 Their clinic is NOT your usual physio clinic with rows of beds, and impersonal treatment! They pride themselves on a more personal touch, with beautiful private treatment facilities.
Meet Dave and Jason Bellefleur, and please check them out online http://bellefleurphysio.com/
It's caring professionals like this that make me want to train harder and push myself even further! I have no doubt that 2015 will be an amazing year, with them keeping my body working at its optimal fitness level!!
And to all my athletes who read this, remember that I always stress the importance of caring for our bodies! Don't wait for an injury to see a physio!! See them for maintenance and care of those muscles and tight spots (hips, glutes, knees, ITB and back to name a few!)

The Army rejected a request by Sgt. Kevin Benderman [defense website] for conscientious objector status [DOD directive, PDF text] and charged him with deserting his unit and missing movement. If found guilty, Benderman faces up to seven years in military prison, possible demotion to private, and a dishonorable discharge. Benderman has said that the atrocities he saw during his first tour in Iraq left him morally opposed to the Iraq war, and he has spoken out repeatedly about the conflict and his decision. Read his columns,A Matter of Conscience [text], A Right to Life [text], and Why I Refused a 2nd Deployment to Iraq [text]. Benderman's case will be heard by a military judge sitting alone, not a jury of soldiers. If convicted, he faces up to seven years in prison. AP has more.

The rest of the week has been taken up by "old lady" medical tests...not fun, by any stretch of the imagination, but they are all out of the way (for a while) and so far, aside from cholesterol levels, and the need to lose a few more pounds, have been declared healthy!
On the jewelry front, I am caught up with custom orders, and am trying to get all the new stuff I didn't sell at the crappy show into my websites. Other than that, I have only been playing when time allows. I do have a couple of things that I would like to show you though, that I am pretty pleased with :)
This little birdy began at ArtBliss in Deryn's Wax On class...I cut the copper shape out, but put it away for later! I decided to flood it with solder and add some texture, but decided it needed wings! The malachite eye is a result of my Richard Salley class!
I have had this yellow calcite (I think) cab forever...I bought it ages ago and was going to do a woven wire bezel on it, but after playing with creating bezels for resin and embedding filigree into the flooded solder, I decided to try and set the stone. Obviously, this is an untraditional bezel setting, and it has flaws...I didn't realize how soft the stone was - nicked it and scratched it! Thought I had a great fit with the bezel wire, but forgot that this type of soldering will take up more space...ruh, roh! However...I love it! It is mine! :)
Stay tuned for my "Virtual Book Tour" post on Monday, 10/17, where I extol my love and admiration for all things Barbara Lewis! Who knows, I might even show up here before then and surprise you...that is, if stinkin' Google lets me post images....anyone else having issues with that?

So here we are on "G" day. And what kind of mother would I be if I didn't talk to you about God?!? First, just let me say how much it means to me, how thankful I am, that both of you know the Lord! No mother could ask for a better joy or comfort. And I praise and thank God for any small part I was able to play in accomplishing that in your lives!!
There you are Bubba, not even in school yet but reading out of the King James Bible. Haltingly, not perfectly, but reading! You started life with a mommy who was the furthest from God she had ever been. You were playing beneath my feet as God led me back to him at the old yellow table reading the...no devouring The Living Bible. You started in the nursery spending your time on the floor pretending to be a hound dog. LOL You saw me cry, pray, delve deep in the Word to save my marriage. You have my rational side. You came to know God by the Word. Even now, you know more, understand more of the intent and heart of the Word then most people twice your age. Yet, you seemed to come to God almost like I did as a child. Surprised to realize knowing was not enough. Yearning to take part in communion is what brought you face to face with God.
Through the years you've hung strong to the ethics and morals of the Bible in many ways. I'll never forget, nor never be prouder of you than when you told me we needed to not go back to the pool in Silsbee because they wouldn't let your friend Kenny in. That doesn't mean that the old deceiver hasn't found ways to make inroads in your life as you grew and met new challenges and choices. But He has never forsaken you, nor left you. I'll never forget you calling us on that 4th of July weekend to say you had kicked our front door in because you knew you needed to come home. You knew some things needed to change.
And here you are now. Blessed of God with a good woman. A woman you had the extreme privilege of leading to a saving knowledge of the Lord. I can't think of anything more beautiful. You should both always treasure that! And you are still improving. Making effort to live as God would have you to.
Now, Bug. My precious baby Bug. I will always believe you were a sign, a symbol, a promise of all the good God wanted to bring to this family. Your early years were at my feet in children's church. You helped me cut out things and get ready even before kindergarten. Your Granny was a Godly woman and you adored her. I remember when she passed away, your simple, pure faith. Knowing she was with Jesus and yearning to go and be with them.
There will never be as beautiful, nor as heart wrenching, a sight as you out in the back yard throwing a sheet of paper as high as you could, over and over. When I asked you about it, you told me you were trying to send Granny a picture. That you knew if you could throw it high enough, Jesus would reach down, get it and pass it on to Granny. Too young and innocent to realize the huge chasm that separates us. But my mama's heart just knows Jesus saw. And made note of your faith. And probably told Granny all about it. And I'm sure she praised Him for you and your faith like only a good Pentecostal woman can.
You seemed to always have your heart with God. It was your knowledge that lagged behind. An opposite of your brother. And you had a very special privilege that I also had...about about your same age: to be Baptised the same day as your daddy!! What a blessing and what a memory!
I've been in the past...about my memories of you two on your spiritual journeys. Now, most important of all, I pass on to you what I want you to know, to hear, to believe and to ACT UPON.
Make Bible study and prayer time a part of every single day of your life. Start NOW! Not tomorrow, or next year. NOW! This world is rough and it's gonna get rougher. Some day, I won't be here. You need to build that deep, personal relationship with Jesus now. So you can avoid some of the pitfalls your parents made. So you can become the best people you are capable of being. So He can bless and lead and direct your lives all of your days.
And on the note of one day I won't be here. I hope it is a very long while before he takes me home. Because I'm too caught up in what lays in store for you here. But someday, if the natural order of things plays out, I'll be gone and y'all will still be here. Bond together! Lift each other up. Encourage one another in the Lord! For each of your strengths is the other ones weakness. Together you are a solid that cannot be moved. Cherish that. Hold tight to that all your days on this earth.

Anyway, I'm visiting from Emily's blog (the Anderson crew) and just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading about the five love languages post you wrote. As a single gal, I never really thought of taking the quiz but am so glad I did. It made me realize the differences I have in what I need/appreciate most in comparison to my sisters, parents, friends, and the like. It also opened my eyes into how I need to take their needs into account as well. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for your post. And I also wanted to tell you that I love your blog.
And that your kids are seriously adorable. No joke.

Historic status rejected for Brickell church
St. Jude Melkite Greek Catholic Church, a 66-year-old house of worship in Brickell, won't be declared historic anytime soon.
City staffers said the church is historic, and out of the six members of the Historical and Environmental Preservation Board who showed up for a vote Monday, four voted for historic status.
But Assistant City Attorney Rafael Suarez-Rivas said five of the board's 10 members would have to have voted for historic status for the motion to pass.
The outcome pleased church leaders, who opposed historic status. Juan Muniz, an attorney representing the church, told officials Monday that the historic designation would be a mistake, because it would increase the church's operating expenses, reduce the property's value and infringe on the church's constitutional and religious rights.
A small group of church members had applied for the historic designation.
Souraya Dolly Faas, a promoter of the historic designation, said she doesn't understand why the church's leadership would not want to protect the church. She and about five others who want the historic designation stood in front of City Hall plotting their next move.
"The designation would not prevent the property owner from adding or even demolishing the church. It just creates another level of review," Faas said.
The Rt. Rev. Damon Geiger, the church's pastor, said the efforts to declare the church historic stemmed from a rumor last year that there was a secret plan to sell the Brickell property, which is surrounded by high-rise condos and hotels.
"The bishop did not have, does not have, nor will he have, plans to sell the parish," Geiger said. "Even if he wanted to sell the church – which he does not – he could not do so without the permission from Rome. There is no reason for the Bishop to close this parish. St. Jude does not need to be saved."
City staff architect Marina Novaes told the board that St. Jude "derives its primary importance from its architectural, artistic and historical significance as it relates to the historic heritage of Miami ... it possesses integrity of setting, feeling, design, association, materials and location."
Novaes also said that St. Jude was an important part of Miami history, because the nuns who once lived in the adjacent buildings and prayed in the church had helped Cuban exiles.
"Sisters of the Assumption actively participated in 'Operation Peter Pan,'" Novaes said. "They were engaged in helping the Carmelite Sisters who had been expelled from Cuba upon the Cuba Revolution, which was an event historically important to the city."
Board members John Graboski, an architect, and David Freedman, a lawyer, voted against historic status.
"I was very moved by its connection to Pedro Pan … but this board should not be determining the needs of the church," Freedman said.
When it was clear that the board had ruled in the church's favor, two dozen St. Jude parishioners wearing green ribbons to show their support of the church leaders clapped loudly. Some hugged and some went to a nearby restaurant to celebrate after the meeting.
Supporters of historic status said they are considering an appeal to the Miami City Commission.
Wasim J. Shomar, who used to attend services at St. Jude, said the church would benefit from the historic designation.
"We believe is important for the entire community to have St. Jude as a historic site," said Shomar, of Coral Gables. "Becoming a historic site would actually allow us to sell the air rights for a substantial amount of money."
As the chairman of Lynx Equity Group in Coral Gables, he has experience in real estate investments.
Transfer of Development Rights, Shomar said, is something the church leaders should look into. The new government program allows a property owner to sell air rights known as "unused development rights." The density is then transferred to another property.
In Miami, a property is eligible for the TDR program if it is listed in the national register of historic places or if it is within a local historic district. Miami's first TDR transfer happened in 2011 and it involved properties in the Mimo historic district.
Geiger said the church was not interested in selling the property's development rights.
The church has spent at least $30,000 to oppose the designation. Bishop Nicholas J. Samra, who leads the Melkite Eparchy church throughout the United States, has warned the small group of Catholics who are pushing for the church to get historical designation.
"Anyone who attempts to disturb the peace of a parish or who incites hatred or ill feelings toward the lawful hierarchy of the Church places themselves in great spiritual jeopardy," Samra said in a letter to the parishioners and friends of St. Jude.
Faas said "his threats" don't scare her or the others. The applicants have 15 days to appeal to the Miami City Commission.
"We will do everything we can to get St. Jude the historic designation it deserves," Faas said.

How can you tell the difference between a legitimate home based business opportunity and a work at home scam?
99.6% of 'GET RICH'
Programs are SCAMS. Do you know the Signs?
If you're looking to make a legitimate income online, then you have to read this because there really are ways to make money on the world wide web.

Why should I
Good question. For those who are uninitiated,
freelance is a term used for work that is done in one's free
time. It offers a chance to earn a little extra money for
those rainy days. However, for some people, 'freelance' can
become a way of life. Try doing a quick internet search of the

How To Work At Home As a Freelancer
By Brett Krkosska
Freelancers are in high demand by employers for many reasons -when a project deadline must be met, when the company lacks adequate expertise or experiences sudden and explosive growth, and so on.
Many times an employer simply cannot justify the additional expense associated with hiring another employee. Since you are not an employee of the company, you keep 100% of the money you earn and are responsible for your own taxes. On the whole, you don't have to be licensed, insured, or have a business of your own. You just have to be a person that can do the project.
Truly, this is self-employment at its best!

We've been in this house for 18 months now and the living room is one area we hadn't touched. We moved our furniture in on the day and kept the previous owner's curtains as a 'temporary measure'.
That's always a trap isn't it? Keeping something to tide you over and having to explain that "they're not our choice of curtain, we inherited them with the house" every time someone comes to visit. It'll only wash for so long before they become your curtains.
So, time for a change but I didn't want to have to redecorate the whole room. I don't have the time, energy or money for that right now as it'll be a big job: the ceiling needs repainting and every wall needs stripping.
|What? So I like sitting in an
armchair. Get over it.
Nope, instead I decided to do
The living room is long and quite dark at one side despite having two large windows. It's a nice enough room but pretty bland due to the many tones of beige, brown and....more brown. The carpet cam with the house and our sofas are the same sort of colour. Plus two of the walls are painted - guess what? - brown. Not good.
The Teenager helped me move the furniture but she Could. Not. Wait. to take the curtains down. I went to iron the new curtains and when I came back in this had happened:
We put the new curtains up and moved the furniture around to make it easier to watch TV and sit and talk to each other. This L-shaped arrangement works much better for us.
The other side of the room is still a work in progress - the two armchairs are next to a reading light, but the the blank wall is crying out for some artwork and the corner needs redecorating where the wallpaper is missing.
And now the
The curtains are from M&S (Simple Leaf Eyelet curtains/£55 a pair) and were pretty good value for money considering how long and wide they are. I think they add a different tone and pattern to the room without being overpowering. (Oh, and the Teenager wants me to mention that she chose them.)
The Orla Kiely box is my inspiration for the room and I'm hoping to use more of the colours for other accessories and soft furnishings.
The bronze figure is a favourite and I bought it many years ago.
This is what you see now when you walk into the room. I think it looks brighter and has a bit more of a colour scheme going on. There's still more brown than I'd like but not bad considering the only thing I bought was the curtains.
In the summer I'd like to strip all the walls and redecorate, making the walls lighter and brighter. I don't think a new carpet is in the offing, so I might consider a rug to break up the sea of brown.
Are you doing any updating, furniture moving or decorating?

Fall sports practices began Monday and Estherville Lincoln Central had more than 40 girls in grades 9-12 report for volleyball. With a strong senior class, the Midgets look to improve on their 18-15 record of a year ago. Fans can get their first look at the volleyball players at the ELC Fall Showcase starting at 5 p.m., Friday, Aug. 17 at the high school. ELC opens the season on Aug. 21 against Sioux Central in Sioux Rapids. While ELC has tournaments that don't involve long rides in Milford (Aug. 28) and Spirit Lake (Sept. 8), the Midgets' first home contest isn't until Sept. 13, when they host perennial power Western Christian.

Was actually getting close to text you to find out if you were back in town; didn't you just head up to Chicago for a semester? But maybe I'm wrong about that (or maybe they kept you longer than you'd expected?) Anyway, if the you-know-what is what I think, you're actually mentioned in the intro to the first chapter.
The Adams BDP LP has two naked women on the back, with appropriate body parts hidden behind musical instruments. Totally remember seeing it at the time, but I have no idea whether I ever owned a copy then (presumably as a record company promo), much less listened to it.

Yes way. Anyway, just figured out via googling that the one album I got isn't by the Sequence Angie B (aka Stone), but by B Angie B who recorded with Hammer's girl-rap group Oaktown 3-5-7. Even more confusing, the name of the first song is "I Am Angie B"! And the actual label on the record says the LP title is Bust It, but those words are nowhere on the cover or spine.

Lots of corny biography written just as they were breaking big. Probably the Uriah Heep album I've played the most ever since it clocked a lot of mileage on the turntable when I was a kid. Good version of "Gypsy" -- long sledgehammering, idiotically funny lyrics about being whipped by girlfriend's gypsy dad and getting strong enough to fight and win, too short version of "Love Machine," hilarious sock-hop rock and roll medley.

I've always had the Vapors single; might have owned the LP once in the past, but if so, it's been gone for years.
Fwiw, today I also passed up (presumably late '60s) $1 "Memphis soul" albums by both Mitch Ryder and Paul Revere & the Raiders that I'd never seen before. For some reason the Raiders one looked more promising, but for some reason I also wound up too skeptical about them both. Curious if anybody's ever heard either of them, and if so, whether I should regret being such a cheapskate.

Louise Goffin Kid Blue (Asylum 1979)
Thought this sucked majorly back then. Felt it was wan and very undeservedly propped up. Maybe I'd think different now.
But never had any use for BeBop best ofs, mostly. The only anthology I still have is Air Age, which came in the age of cd. Barring that, most of Futurama, all of Sunburst Finish, some of Modern Music, almost all of Live in the Air Age and half of Axe Victim. None of Drastic Plastic.

My radio station, which has been dying a slow death the past two years and is just about to vacate the building, had a community sale yesterday to get rid of all its vinyl. Thousands and thousand of albums, the majority of them from a window covering the late '80s. Scraping Foetus off the Wheel, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, Microdisney, Dos, Death of Samantha, Greater Than One...it really felt like wandering around some creaky old museum for college radio circa 1987. Nothing was organized, of course, so the whole time I was there they were still bringing down huge bins of albums from upstairs. I'm more particular about shape than such a sale warrants, so I ended up putting back about 20% of what I grabbed.
1) Stuff I'm embarrassed to be buying at my age (and may or may not ever play):
Laughing Hyenas -- Merry Go RoundDivine Horseman -- Middle of the NightDas Damen -- TriskaidekaphobeKeith LeBlanc -- Stranger Than Fiction (what we called "Chris Twomey music" at the monthly I used to write for in the mid-'80s)
2) Album I bought even though I know I already hate it: Van Dyke Parks -- Song Cycle (Dutch resissue)
3) Album I bought just because it's a little rare: Kensington Market -- Aardvark
4) I like the '70s:
Kevin Ayers -- Yes We Have No MananasGrin -- All OutLaura Nyro -- NestedAudience -- LunchSteve Harley & Cockney Rebel -- The PsychomodoSweet -- It's It's...Sweet's Hits
5) Ancient:
Mildred Bailey -- The Paul Whiteman YearsFletch Henderson's OrchestraJunior Wells' Chicago Blues Band -- Hoodoo Man Blues (thank you, first Rolling Stone guide)Herbie Nichols Trio (one of the guys in A.B. Spellman's Four Lives in the Bebop Business--I already have it, but couldn't resist)
6) Stuff I'm pretty happy about:
Pastels -- Sittin' PrettyGuadalcanal Diary -- 2 x 4Colin Newman -- It SeemsReducers -- Let's Go! (I remember Marcus raving about the title song in an old "Real Life")Dramarama -- Stuck in WonderamalandJoe•Pop•O•Pie -- Joe's Third RecordRain Parade -- Beyond the SunsetVan Morrison & the Chieftans -- Irish HeartbeatChieftans -- Celtic WeddingGo-Betweens -- TallulahVoice of the Beehive -- Let It BeeLet's Active -- AfootLet's Active -- Every Dog Has His Day (oops--already had this)
Also a bunch of 7-inches from a series called "A Fiftieth Anniversary Project" put out by Capac--20th-century-type stuff, I think. They charged me $55 for everything, and I got a $30 credit for turning in my access card. Typical collector mindset: all I could think of as I left were the three albums other people just beat me to (one of the Bo Diddley Chess reissues, the Neil Young cover album The Bridge, and Nico's The End).

A story about the sale I mentioned above--I get quoted right at the end.
Of course, they never quote you in full; the next thing I said was something like, "But I wish them all the luck in the world." The way it's rendered, it sounds like I'm really down on the station. And it's Aardvark by Kensington Market--in a bizarre coincidence, I made the exact same mistake in my italicization above (accidentally, as I do know which is which).

Haven't quite re-caught the bug yet--I just don't have the patience to wade through piles of junk like I used to--but I've found a couple of places I'm periodically browsing.
Barry Lyndon O.S.T.Roy Clark's Greatest HitsFaron Young -- Pen & PaperTom Jones -- Tom
$1.50 each. The Roy Clark was sealed, the other three in very good shape. I basically bought the Tom Jones for the cover.
On a related note, I was browsing through all the ridiculously overpriced new vinyl at a mall store last week (actually situated right near the entrance now), seeing albums I bought 35 years ago and others I should have bought 35 years ago, and one question seemed obvious to me: who's going to buy this stuff? Maybe I'm way wrong, but my guess is no one--I'm looking forward to five years from now, when the bottom drops out a second time and all those records can be picked up for next to nothing.

Record-breaking 18 schools receive state recognition for Positive Behavior Intervention and Support
Last year, 15 UCPS schools received state recognition for their Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) systems, the data-driven initiatives that improve social competence and academic achievement for students. The occasion marked the highest number of schools in district history to be recognized by the state for helping to create a positive and safe school wide culture.
This year, UCPS schools are making history again with a record 18 schools being recognized by the NC Department of Public Instruction for supporting high student performance while simultaneously reducing behavioral problems. The schools received recognition in two of the three categories: Green Ribbon and Model.
"With our PBIS systems, we want our students to know that they have people who they can trust and who care for them when they're in school," said Porter Ridge Middle Principal Dr. Brian Patience, whose school received a Green Ribbon PBIS award. "Our goal is to teach students the importance of having skills that they can use in relationships and interactions with people, not just in school but throughout the rest of their lives."
PBIS systems have six features: total staff commitment to managing behavior, clearly defined and communicated school-wide expectations and rules, clearly defined consequences for unwanted behaviors, an instructional component for teaching students expected behaviors, a support plan to address the needs of students with chronic, challenging behaviors and procedures for acknowledging appropriate behaviors.
At some schools, students and classes who follow school wide expectations can earn celebrations such as popcorn parties, prizes, extra playing time in the gym or even the opportunity to have a field day. Students who follow expectations on the bus can even earn tickets from bus drivers, which they can then turn in at their school for recognition.
At Porter Ridge Middle, students who exhibit the school's newly established four core values – Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Prepared and Be Safe – have the opportunity to earn "dollars" which could then be redeemed for "money" in the school's PBIS store.
It's a simple effort that has yielded big benefits.
The middle school experienced a significant reduction in the number of behavior referrals during the first six weeks of school as compared to the same time period last year. Additionally, student and teacher attendance are several percentage points higher than in years past.
This year, Porter Ridge Middle is implementing the second phase of its PBIS system, which will include a check-in/check-out mentor program that pairs every teacher with one or two students to mentor. Porter Ridge Middle teacher Corrine Hart said this program will ultimately provide students with a positive adult relationship and a role model they can rely on for guidance, support and encouragement.
"We've been able to reach and personalize their education and develop relationships with students in so many ways through this," Dr. Patience said. "These past few months have been the best that we've had in years. It's been incredible."
The following Green Ribbon and Model schools will be recognized by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction at its 2018 Recognition Program on Tuesday, Nov. 13.

Reviews for Boughton Chicken Coop
Showing reviews 1 to 10 of 31
Very good hen house - Simon,
This is a profoundly good hen house. We tried to purchase a competitor first. It arrived and we sent it back. This Ark arrived and it has been a joy. Yes, the wood is not hard wood and yes there is an issue with painting around the mesh but the design is terrific and the quality is top notch.
Great design, but build quality failing - Daniel,
The design of this coop is excellent, second to none. The build quality has unfortunately fallen over the years however. The coop I purchased new, will undoubtedly be outlived by the older coops that I've bought second hand. Symptomatic of most things nowadays sadly. An average of 5 stars is very misleading, using the 'mean' average would give a more accurate rating.
Disappointed - Percy,
I bought the Boughton Chicken coop after spending several years researching different products. It's a great design which makes it easy to clean and look after the chickens. However, the wood is not pressure treated which meant it took about five days to paint. It was also really difficult to paint the wood behind the metal wire, and I'm not sure how long it will last without treating it again every couple of years. Although it's a great design I'm disappointed that the wood is not pressure treated and would have preferred spending more money on one that is.
Very neat product - David,
After painting it with a few coats in the garage and assembling on the patio we have sturdy functional house and run area for three lively bantams who have taken to it rapidly. Thanks
Nice design, but wood should be treated - Sean,
My fourth Boughton, will also be my last unless something changes. I nearly returned it, but eventually decided to give it a go. Not sure i made the right decision. It's an improved design, on an already very good design - for instance, both sides can be removed, and both ends of the run can be accessed from outside. However, the wood is now untreated softwood. Full wood treatment takes three days before assembly, and some bits (eg wood behind metal grills) can't be properly treated. If you don't have space to spread it all out before assembly, you won't be able to treat the wood on all sides. A couple of bits didn't fit properly when assembled, attention to detail seemed less than before. My previous Boughtons lasted an average 7 years. I expect less of this. Finally, I was left with a vast amount of expanded polystyrene packaging. There is no reason to use this and in our area, as most, it is not recycled. A big downer. Omlet have taken a good design, improved it a little, but delivered an inferior product. Shame.
- Martyn,
Delivered promptly,easy to assemble as long as you have a helper
Very pleased with this sturdy and well designed product. - Sue,
Easily moved on to a new patch and great to be able to clean it out easily without having to bend down to the floor. Love the removable panels back and front and the drawbridge device to shut them in for the night, although our rescued chucks took a bit of persuading to use it initially.
Boughton chicken coup - Frances,
I was very pleased with the delivery and the coop. Looks lovely in the garden. I (lazily) got someone to build it, but it was easy. I'm using it for some chicks I've hatched and have them separately on the lawn. I'll then move it so they can start to get used to the big hens, before eventually integrating. After that I shall just keep it for occasional isolation or brooding. Just three points to make: 1. It was not treated timber (as stated somewhere on the site.) Not sure why they don't use treated timber. 2. I fixed some chicken wire underneath it to prevent foxes being able to burrow in. It would seem sensible if they sold it with the chicken wire already there - as surely everyone is going to have the same problem. That also means that you can move it with chickens in - otherwise you'd have to take them out each time. 3. I thought foxes might be able to move the end door clips as they are loose, so I bought bolts which I think are more secure.
Great coop - Jeremy,
Assembly was easy enough, but we definitely need 2 people - and there were a couple of bits we found tricky, though we overcame! I would have liked an option for the wood to have been pre-treated/stained to save us time, but that wasn't possible. We now have 5 happy bluebell chicks in residence, though they're not big enough yet to walk up and down the stairs! Another photo coming when they're a bit bigger...
Boughton Coop - Barbara,
We are new to bantam keeping and are absolutely delighted with the Boughton Ark which we bought after much research. It is easy to dismantle, clean and manoeuvre and also looks good.

Everybody benefits from environmental justice
Since Federal funding ceased in July 2014, EDO Tasmania has been reliant on donations and grants to keep delivering our services.
By making a tax-deductible donation, you can help us to continue to assist communities to protect Tasmania's remarkable environment. Give a little or give a lot, give once or set up a regular donation. Every bit helps!
- One-off donations
- EDO Champions (regular giving)
- Shopnate
- Fundraise for us
- Workplace Giving
- Bequests / memorials
- Point to Pinnacle
Why donate?
Most of us agree that everybody has a right to clean air, access to water and a say in decisions that affect their local environment. Our laws are supposed to protect those rights, but sometimes the laws get ignored, aren't strong enough or are so complex that it's hard for people to know what they can do.
That's why EDO Tasmania is important. Every day, we help Tasmanians to understand how environmental laws work and how they can make their voices heard.
We help landowners to protect their rights when dealing with mining companies. We help community groups to protect local heritage buildings from demolition and much-loved forest reserves from being cleared. We help farmers to navigate the complex rules around what they can, and cannot, do on their land. We help residents concerned about contamination of their water supply or confused by the planning system. We help defend threatened species that can't defend themselves.
We fight to make sure environmental laws are complied with and governments are held to account for their decisions.
Where the laws are weak, we fight for better laws. Where the laws are strong, we fight to preserve them.
No other community organisation in Tasmania does this work. Without government funding, we need your support to help us to keep helping Tasmanians protect our places and our species, for everybody's benefit.
To find out more about the great work you'll be supporting, go to What We Do.
(We'd like to keep in touch. When you donate to EDO Tasmania we'll add you to our email communications. Feel free to opt out of this at anytime. We won't be offended!)

The following is a list (in no particular order) of differences between the proposed wording for Guideline 2.4 [1] and the current wording (also available in [1]. * Eliminates word- and page-count as triggers for L2 SC1 * Treats each item as a separate SC instead of alternative cases within a specific SC. This is consistent with previous changes to Guideline 1.1 SC1 (as reflected in the current internal WD [2])and eliminates or reduces confusion where separate requirements for individual pages and collections of pages were included within the same item. This is true for both L2 SC1 and L3 SC3. The result is that there are more SCs in the proposed wording but (I hope) they are easier to understand and test. * Clarifies and simplifies wording wherever possible, consistent with earlier efforts toward plain language. * Tries out the term "perceivable unit"derived from Device-Independence WG Glossary [3] See proposed L2 SC 2 and L3 SC4. * Uses the term "determined programmatically" for consistency with other SC in the guidelines doc. (L3 SC1) * Adds an L2 success criterion about detailed views for complex images (to support General Techniques for zoomable/alternative views of complex images) * Changes "hierarchical structure" to "explicit structure" under L2 SC1 * Consolidates "site map" and "laternative navigation mechanisms" in the same SC *L2); the alternative navigation mechanisms listed in the Glossary all appear to be variants of the site map, and will be discussed in General Techniques. * Eliminates an SC about "alternative display order'" for pages (current wording in L2 SC1.c) because I couldn't understand it * Changes "diagrams" to "images" under L3 SC2 because there is no reason to limit the call for structured images to a specific type of image * Deletes requirement about non-hierarchical relationships (L3 SC3) because it appears to be redundant with 1.3 L1 SC1 [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2004OctDec/0199.html <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-wai-gl/2004OctDec/0199.html> 2] http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/ [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/di-gloss/#def-perceivable-unit "Good design is accessible design."

NEW HAVEN, CONN. -- Gage Hills scored twice and Andrew Dealy added a pair of assists as Yale cruised to a 3-1 victory over Fairfield at the Soccer-Lacrosse Stadium. Alex Munns also scored for Yale, while Geoff Hollington made six saves and came within 30 seconds of posting a shutout in goal.
"It's nice to break the streak with a win against a quality opponent," said Yale head coach Brian Tompkins, who saw his team pick up its first win of the season. "We played well and executed in front of the goal. We were a little unfortunate not to score more. This win gives us positive momentum heading into Saturday's game against Harvard."
Hills opened the scoring in the 37th minute when he deflected in Ryan Morrissey's cross. Less than five minutes later, Hills struck again to give the Bulldogs a 2-0 lead at 40:04. Munns added Yale's third goal in the 84th minute, and it appeared the Bulldogs would post a shutout, but Fairfield's Matt Wilner scored with 30 seconds left in the second half.
Fairfield (3-2-2) came into the game ranked sixth in New England by the NSCAA and was yet another tough opponent. Yale's first six opponents currently have a combined record of 25-13-4 (.643) and three of them are nationally ranked.
The Bulldogs open Ivy League play on Saturday when they travel to Harvard at 3 p.m.
