The sessions will be delivered by coaches from Apex Multisports, part of the Apex360.co.uk group. The plan is to run the Yr 1&2 session and Yr 3&4 session separate from each other, assuming there are enough children signed up to warrant two coaches. Sessions will take place on the school field. Football boots and shin pads are required. If the weather is poor we have access to the hall where we can play bench football and children can wear plimsolls. It is essential for children to wear their School Sports Kit, but they're more than welcome to wear warmer clothing if it is cold.
Childcare Vouchers are Not Accepted on this course

Our new furniture has been just born in Barcelona, half Japanese and half Spanish.
It will be the first item of a big series of furniture family named "Cats".
It is a center table to put in front of your sofa, and to drink a glass of whisky watching a movie at night, made of a very beautiful wood mosaic board and metal decorated with cloisonne pieces.
The top board of the table has an amazing pattern with a slight depth which is smooth like an embossed leather. And it is framed with brass hand finished by skilful craftsmen and artists. The legs of table are covered with cloisonne pieces on its top.
And there are more finer decoration with metal lines on the back side of the top board, which is to be seen only by your notice.
You can chose a frame colour from copper red called "Gat Vermell AMESHA SPANDA" or sulphuretted black "Gat Negre PLATILI".

I always leave the hardest people to shop for gifts at the last moment. One of these people are artists. Yes, I can replenish their art supplies or give them countess drawing books. However, I took the challenge to find unique gifts for the artistic people I love. Here are my thoughts of unique gifts for the artist.
Used Books
This makes on every list of unique gifts because it human intellectual and inspiration that a book breathes into a person that it can it never be wrong. So what artist look for the following books:
- Art Books
- Graphic / Design Book
- Books with fantastic illustrations
- Books with unique text design
- Classical Literature Books with heavy text, and write a note to the artist to draw illustration on top of the text to create an art book. If you can even cut out scenes too.
You can find use books in your local thrift store, Goodwill, Salvation Army. If you live near Los Angeles, make a stop at The Last Bookstore or Caravan Books.
Artist are always in need of frames, either to display their artwork or artwork from other artists. Grab all different sizes and colors, so they can make a mini gallery at home.
Purchase a used suitcase and convert it to a carry-along art studio. This is perfect for an artist without a studio. Read this blog post for how to convert your vintage suitcase.
Vintage Prints
Artist are always looking for inspiration. Look for amazing prints to inspire the artist, prints can be either fabric prints,book prints, poster prints, or home decor.
Vintage Art Supplies
Look for vintage art supplies to put in a shadow box for a memorabilia. You will most likely find these in the yard sales or flea markets. Look for the following art supplies:
- brushes
- used oil paint tubes
- palette knives
- mixing plates or boards
- vintage pens or pencils
- vintage crayons or pastels
- watercolors palette
- erasers
There you have it unique gifts for the artistic love one.
Hope you enjoy these ideas for unique gifts. If you do decide to give one of these unique gifts, #yayaiammaria or tag me Instagram or Facebook.
Till the next time, stay curious and you will discover a world beyond yours.

However, I am going to try and make it a point to integrate this into my routine each week for a little change-up.
Since talking last, there has been so many things that have went down. It would require countless hours and some crazy typing to express what has been going on with life, my mind, and everything else.
A few things:::
I posted awhile back, but I have been blessed to be able to take part in a non-profit organization called Sophia's Heart (http://sophiasheart.org/) It has done a number of things to keep myself in check and remind me that it's not really about me. I will talk more about it in entries to come (crossing my fingers:))
I have also been going through a time of unclarity. This has been not fun at many times, however I can see how God has used it TO clarify if I really am living on faith. It has also required some evaluation on how I have been and need to handle things. This is another journey I hope to touch on more in the coming times.
I also was able to sit in on my first "official" co-write this week. We were trying to write a song that expressed the heavy issue of having one last breath/one last time and what we would do differently. There were many different variations of it, but it had some potential when we were done. Of course, my American Idol started to come out and instantly reminded me of Kris Allen's song "Live Like You're Dying". (Which was written by the Script?! what?)
Anyway, this song has been going hand-in-hand with what I've been trying to live out and remind myself with all that has been going down.
To save time and your interest in reading (which could consist of a whopping 3-4 if lucky..ha), I wanted to at least get this started again. So....cue your favorite music selection to roll it out... and I will be posting again shortly.

Here we go people. Just TWO DAYS until I'm in the MTC! And I STILL don't know where I'm going. No word on my visa, and no word from anyone else telling me I'm going to Provo; however, a little birdy told me that Provo has received my information as if they are going to accept me and they are just waiting last minute to see if my visa will come just in time for me to make it to Brasil instead. So it looks like I'm heading to Provo folks! Unless my visa shows up... Then I'll pass out with relief. I'm supposed to leave tomorrow (Tuesday) for Brasil if I get my visa, otherwise I will leave Wednesday morning for the Provo MTC. The anxiety is starting to affect my sleep, so I decided to write about my preparation adventures.
Not like my visa is the main issue anymore. I lost my passport! WHO DOES THAT? I thought maybe I could get away with it, that possibly I could find it before the world found out, but no. Mom and I literally turned the house inside-out and have found nothing. I was being so good about keeping track of everything, and then all of a sudden my passport is MIA. I am so embarrassed. If my visa comes before I find-slash-get-a-replacement-visa... That is the definition of a cruel irony, my friends.
The good news is there is a place in Seattle that supposedly replaces your lost and stolen passports in a day. IF you have an itinerary that proves that you are leaving the country in a week or less. As I explained earlier, I do not yet have my travel itinerary because I don't have my visa. So. I can't get my passport because I don't have my visa, and I can't use my visa because I lost my passport! Maybe I'm already in a cruel irony... Darn. It's not like I have the time to spend the last day I have before I'm supposed to leave on replacing my passport anyway.
Are you hyperventilating yet? I sure was at this point. I could not understand how I possessed the supreme stupidity that allowed me to LOSE my PASSPORT, and somehow not realize it until the week before I had to leave. You know when you pray for an answer or guidance, and you keep getting a prompting that you're not exactly sure how to follow through with? Let me tell you, I was praying desperately to know where else I could possibly look for that stinking blue book, and all I kept getting out of it was this profound thought:
"Mom should know where your passport is."
Well. I don't know about many of you, but if I were to walk up to my mom (who was graciously helping me search the entire house for the passport) and tell her "Guess what Mom, you should know where the passport is", life would not be so happy. It seems like a really rude statement, no? After hours of searching, I decided to sit down and work on some of my required online mission prep. For the first time all day I felt like everything was going to be alright and that I was doing what I needed to be doing. After another hour or so, I went upstairs to check on a few things. Suddenly I hear Mom yelling:
"Sydnee! The passport isn't in the house!! You mailed it into the travel office when
you applied for your visa! They'll mail it to you when you get your visa. I finally
read this paper that I kept moving around all day, and it says all this right on
the top!"
Immediate embarrassed relief flooded throughout me. Seriously? How could I forget that? At least I didn't have to scramble and replace my passport… Yeesh.
Fooled you, didn't I? If I didn't, you can surely get a chuckle out of my unnecessary panicked search party. I know that I'm still laughing, but maybe that is because I have gone insane.
I also think I'm in denial. I had the next 18 months of my life spread out all over my floor in a neat, organized manner just waiting for me to pack for almost a week before I loaded it into my suitcase, which is something I really needed to do since my mission has strict weight limits on my luggage. Because my transfers will all be by little planes, I am only allowed 1 checked bag under 43 lbs and 1 carry-on bag that is under 15 lbs for my entire mission. I'm sure that thinking, "Maybe if I just leave all my stuff out of my suitcase until the day before I leave, it will all magically fit with plenty of pounds to spare," is an alarming sign that I am suffering from the lack of will to comprehend the inevitable, aka, denial. Brilliant! No worries, I got it all to fit… I'm pretty sure at least. I guess I should check that tomorrow.
Ok, I'll get off my "Podium of Whining" and start to try to sound like the mature future missionary I am. I think that we all understand that with a few hours left before my mission that I'm feeling a little bit frazzled, but that doesn't mean that my life isn't enjoyable. Far from it, actually! When things seem stressful and even a little hopeless, I hardly have time to finish a prayer for help before things begin to fall into place. I cannot even begin to tell you how blessed I feel as I have received words of encouragement, both written and spoken, that have been much needed and appreciated. I have had the opportunity to see family that I probably would not have seen otherwise. I have had the opportunity to see one of my best friends be sealed to her eternal companion, and I was able to support several more friends as they went through the temple, which are things that I would have not been able to do if I could not serve a mission at this time. My love for others has grown as I have studied how to be a successful missionary, what to teach and how to teach it.
Overall, to put things plainly, I have been happier over these past crazy months than I have ever been before in my life. Even saying goodbye to my closest friends has not been as difficult as I had imagined. As I let them each go, I was filled with the greatest sense of peace and comfort. I know that everything will be alright, even though things will change and I will miss quite a few things. Eighteen months of anyone's life is a short time, yet it is plenty of time for anything to happen. This is not a sacrifice that I think anyone takes lightly. 1 ½ years of minimum communication with those that you care about most is not something that is easily signed up for, but I have been given the strength and the peace that I need to know that everyone I care for will be watched over. There's a quote that I keep seeing, and I wish I could find who said it, but it says:
"A missionary leaves their family for two years so others can be with
theirs for eternity."
That's what I'm doing. I am leaving my family and friends, missing graduations, important dances, bridal showers, weddings, baby blessings and so much more, and it's hard. It really is hard to dwell on these things, but somehow I am not saddened by it. Instead I am filled with a peace, and I know that while I cannot be there for everything, the important thing is that they happened. Eighteen months is not long, and soon I will be home filled with experiences that I never would have thought would happen to me. I know that I will not regret the time spent in Brasil, but instead I will treasure it. I am so excited to be able to serve the people of Manaus, and I hope that they will be willing to listen to a 20-year-old girl's testimony. Everything that I will miss will be made worth it when I plant the seeds of eternity into the hearts of individuals, and that those seeds will someday guide them to an eternal family. Even if I do not see the end result of those that I teach, the knowledge that I was there doing all that I can will make my sacrifice worth it. I'm leaving my family for a short time so those that I find can have their families forever, and that is something that I will never regret.
Lots of Love,
Almost(eep!)Irmã Jones

Different subject from the usual.
Article in NYT that refers to something that is growing all around us.
Multi tasking drivers.
Besides the danger to the driver, it also puts the passengers in the car at risk. Enough written about this in recent times.
This specific article talks about the impact on family relationships as, what used to be 'family time' in the car is now being intruded by personal devices. Seemingly nothing is 'ignorable'.
Also written about is the impact that back seat drivers are having on driver mobile phone usage. When there is someone else in the car there is greater pressure to reduce, if not stop, being distracted. It is likely that it is this, than any sort of legislation that will lead to sensible personal device usage in a car.

Session Report
Submitted by: Shibani Bandyopadhyay (ICVolunteers); Contributors: Tatjana Schwabe (ICVolunteers)
The co-chair, Dr. Alexandre Mauron from the Medical Faculty of the University of Geneva, Switzerland, introduced the topic of ethical concerns in health research, stressing that clinical trials had become a global activity, requiring discussion about ethics in research to be a priority.
Dr. E. H. Gotuzzo from Instituto de Medicina Tropical Alexander von Humboldt in Lima, Peru presented his paper on "Clinical research in Latin America: constraints and opportunities". He pointed out that currently between 11 - 25 % of all clinical trials (CT) are being conducted in Latin America, involving numerous sites and professionals in the trials themselves and the related ethical review work. Dr. Gotuzzo first listed the advantages of conducting clinical trials in Latin America:
- A vast heterogeneous study population with patients suitable for many CTs available in the mega cities of Argentina, Mexico, Brazil and Colombia;
- Minimal drop out rates;
- Trained personnel with good clinical practices;
- Potential markets for pharmaceutical industries;
- Possibility to conduct year-round trials on seasonally induced diseases (e.g. diarrhoea or respiratory diseases) in combination with countries in the Northern hemisphere;
- Dr. Gotuzzo pointed out that most clinical trials in Latin America are being carried out by private industry, while only about 100 trials are being conducted by the US-American National Institutes of Health (NIH), universities or other public institutions. About 80 % of the clinical trials in Latin America analyse new vaccines against rotavirus, papilloma virus or HIV.
However, clinical trials in Latin America face a number of challenges including:
- Lengthy approvals due to government regulations;
- Corruption (as large sums of money are often involved in CTs);
- Forged CT results;
- Low priority of clinical trial output product;
- Severe unrest threatening the continuation of CTs as seen in Argentina (2001), Venezuela or Peru (1990);
- Ethical issues such as acquisition of study subjects and informed consent.
Regarding the last point, Dr. Gotuzzo explained that in the paternal patient-doctor relationship in Latin America, informed consent of patients was an unfamiliar concept. During the question and answer session, the issue of informed consent by vulnerable, handicapped or mentally ill patient was briefly raised. Answering a question from the audience, the speaker argued that the hope to improve the health situation was the main reason for countries with limited resource and increasing drug resistance to participate in CTs.
In his conclusion, Dr. Gotuzzo urged for more transparency and clear requirements, amongst others through the strengthening of health systems, to determine whether a clinical trial is carried out according to appropriate ethical standards. CT participants-and possibly also the institutions and countries in which these CTs are conducted-should benefit more directly from the CTs as today, frequently, the CTs only benefit western development.
In the absence of Dr. Doumbo from Mali, Dr. Hassan Mshinda, Director of the Ifakara Health Research and Development Centre in Tanzania kindly agreed to talk about his experience regarding ethical is regarding clinical trials in Africa. In partnership with the Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) and the WHO, skills in applying ethical standards in CTs have been developed by the training of staff in Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and ethics.
Dr. Mshinda pointed out that Tanzania is taking several steps to ensure that ethics standards are applied in clinical trials. Ethical clearance is mandatory and a licence is required for each product to be tested in a CT. The composition of the ethical board has changed to include independent legal and gender representatives in addition to professional scientists and clinicians. Tanzania accepts the responsibility for all research work undertaken in the country, for example by refusing to engage foreign nationals as principal investigators of any research work or by including an independent country representative in the data monitoring safety board of a multi-centric study by a foreign pharmaceutical company. This is crucial, as a local investigator will, unlike most foreign stakeholders, still be there to take responsibility should a problem arise after completion of a research protocol. He also pointed out that in this particular biosocial context, verbal consent was largely prevalent over written consent. Implementation of community consent also raises largely unexplored difficulties. Such socio-cultural issues can pose problems for ethical guidelines requiring individual and written informed consent.
Dr. Dominique Sprumont, Director of the Institute of Health Law at the University of Neuchatel, Switzerland introduced the "Importance of the National Laws in the Implementation of International Regulations in Developing Countries". At the beginning of his talk, he pointed to the complex documents regulating research on an international level such as the Geneva Convention, the Nuremburg Code, the Declaration of Helsinki, the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights, WHO International Ethical Guidelines and European Union (EU) Directives. Both the EU directives and the National Law aim predominantly at protecting the subjects of clinical trials. Another body to issue guidelines on Good Clinical Practice (GCP) was the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). In its principle 26, it demands that all CTs be conducted under the supervision of an Institutional Review Board (IRB) and Independent Ethics Committee (IEC), both of which have to be approved by the "competent body". What constitutes a competent body is left open to interpretation in the document and definitions differ from country to country. Another area, where definitions differ is that of informed consent. Dr. Sprumont presented examples from Benin, Mali and Senegal, where the definitions of child, incompetent adult and legal representative vary. Even across Europe, concepts concerning the competent authority for consent and legal competency are not uniform. In the light of the heterogeneous world of many diverse but equal sovereign countries, Dr. Sprumont concluded that national regulation was the only way to provide specific rules on key issues in biomedical research. He stated that the respect for national regulations was essential for partnership in international research and capacity building.
Dr. Mauron concluded the session by emphasising the importance of including only fully informed participants in clinical trials. To avoid the disseminating of misleading information, clinicians and research workers need guidance from other disciplines, including legal experts, to prepare the information that is to be shared with patients.
Clinical trials are the most important tool in medical research to find the best therapy or method for intervention. While CTs have so far been mostly ruled by biostatistics, more emphasis is now being placed on human rights and ethical concerns. Since research is becoming more and more industrialised, national law has to ensure that international regulations and ethics guidelines are implemented in each country and hence the need to ensure that research protocols are compatible with different local laws. This in turn leads to the question of which research institute has the final say in multi-centre research.

I just realized very recently that the word Bitch actually refers to female dogs! But somehow, in the modern sense, that word really fits my cat Miming! Haha. My sister came up with that word to describe her when Miming (pronounced Mee-ming) was being particularly bitchy with Ben (my sister's 5month old Beagle). Ben was being quite hyperactive and playful that day and decided to channel his happiness on Miming.
So when the Beagle was taunting and barking at the Cat, wanting to get close and play with her, she went all Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon on him. She felt so threatened and mad the hair on her back stood up. She never really got to injuring him with her sharp claws thought. Thank God. It seems Ben is quite adept at evading her weapons.
See Miming hates being touched and caressed and the only interaction she enjoys with other species is when she can bite and scratch them. She hates being touched and played with and when Ben came along, it turns out she hates Ben as well. Did I mention she hates being touched?
Nevertheless, she is my cat. Or should I say I am her human and all of us here gladly put up with her. I went through my Multiply albums last night and saw quite a lot of pictures of her. She actually has an album of her own there. Here are some of Miming's earliest shots that I quite like.

Daring mission to recover comrade
The first images of a daring rescue mission in which four Royal Marines strapped themselves to the wings of helicopter gunships in a bid to rescue a colleague have been published.
The four commandos flew into a fierce gunfight in southern Afghanistan clinging to the stabiliser wings of two Apache helicopters in a bid to recover the body of 30-year-old Lance Corporal Matthew Ford.
L/Cpl Ford, of 45 Commando Royal Marines, had been killed instantly by Taliban fire as he participated in a 200-soldier assault on a fort in Helmand province.
When the marines fell back to regroup they realised the section commander was missing and hatched the dramatic rescue bid.
Military photographers captured a series of images in which the four soldiers strapped themselves to the small side "wings" of two Apaches – which have no room for passengers – while a third provided covering fire.
The marines found and retrieved the body of L/Cpl Ford.
In the images, the Marines – Colin Hearn, 45, based in Plymouth; Gary Robinson, 26, of Rosyth, Fife; David Rigg, 30, of Newton Ferrers, Devon; and Chris Fraser-Perry, 19, of Southport – can be seen clinging to the sides of the gunships as they travel around 100ft above the desert landscape.
Lieutenant Colonel Rory Bruce, the UK Task Force spokesman, said: "It was a leap into the unknown. This is believed to be the first time UK forces have ever tried this type of rescue mission. It was an extraordinary tale of heroism and bravery of our airmen, soldiers and marines who were all prepared to put themselves back into the line of fire to rescue a fallen comrade."
Earlier this week, Prime Minister Tony Blair said the marines were "performing vital roles in working towards a safer and more secure world" and Tory leader David Cameron said the daring mission was a reminder of the "incredible professionalism" of the UK's armed forces.
L/Cpl Ford was the second British serviceman to die in the country in three days, after 21-year-old Royal Marine Thomas Curry, of 42 Commando, was killed during a battle to clear Taliban positions last Saturday.

Possum Drops, Animal "Rights", and PETA
by oracleofreason
On New Year's Eve People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (aka PETA) protested a possum drop that was going to be conducted in the town of Brasstown, North Carolina which was to take place at midnight to ring in the New Year. PETA was so incensed at the idea of such an event that utilized a live animal that the group got a judge to order the state's Wildlife Commission to not issue a permit for the event unless a fake possum was used.
Like the news report about this event points out, many of the people of Brasstown can't afford nor would they want to go to New York City to see the New Year crystal ball drop in Times Square so they came up with their own manner of celebrating. When I first heard about this story it reminded me of an event that takes place regularly in Arizona that in 2010 drew the ire of animal rights activists. A statute was proposed in the Arizona legislature at that time to ban a Mexican custom that dates back to the 17th century called horse-tripping.
Horse tripping is performed during Mexican charreadas (i.e. rodeos) in which cowboys score points by lassoing the legs of a galloping horse, bull, or steer in order to bring it down. Naturally proponents of the ban claimed that the animals involved in the sport were being treated cruelly and, consequently, decided to attempt to ban the practice altogether. The proposed law or any any attempt to inhibit the usage of animals for events like possum drops or horse-tripping has nothing to do with protecting the lives and health of animals as much as it has to do with the evil intent of the bill's legislative sponsor, Kyrsten Sinema, its proponents, and so-called animal rights groups.
Efforts to ban or restrict activities using animals for entertainment (be it horse-tripping or possum dropping) is also rooted in the hatred of human beings. In the case of Arizona's proposal to ban horse-tripping the hatred is directed at Mexican culture since chareadas are a Mexican custom that dates back for hundreds of years and, ultimately, doesn't harm anyone. Not only were politicians on the Right trying to run Mexicans out of the state by harping on the illegal immigration bandwagon, politicians on the Left (most notably Kyrsten Sinema) attempted to make war on their culture by incrementally banning sporting events starting with activities like horse-tripping.
Like Dr. Edwin Locke of the Ayn Rand Institute correctly points out, animals do not survive by rational thought but rather by reflexes and sensory perception association (i.e. predation). They do not have the capacity to learn any other way. Individual rights depend on a person's capacity of rational thought. Animals are devoid of any such capabilities, therefore, they are not deserving of special legal status. There are appropriate legal protections for domesticated animals so that animal owners have redress against those who would steal or damage animals they use for activities such as food production, medical testing, or domesticated ownership.
It's also no surprise that soon after the Connecticut shootings that PETA's President Ingrid Newkirk just announced the group's support not only of gun control but also outlawing hunting since doing so would make it harder for people to consume animals in order to live. I will never forget what Newkirk said when asked about the Foot and Mouth disease epidemic that broke out in Great Britain in 2001. Ingrid Newkirk was quoted by Reuters as saying:
If that hideousness came here [to the U.S.], it wouldn't be any more hideous for the animals—they are all bound for a ghastly death anyway. But it would wake up consumers…. I openly hope that it comes here. It will bring economic harm only for those who profit from giving people heart attacks and giving animals a concentration camp-like existence. It would be good for animals, good for human health, and good for the environment.
Animal rights groups (so-called) are not about the humane treatment of animals but the animalistic treatment of humans. Not only due to PETA, the Animal Liberation Front, and other animal rights group's opposition to sport or entertainment activities involving animals but even using creatures for medical testing. Hinder using animals for testing of treatments for diseases and cures for them will be few and far between resulting in more human deaths.
Animal rights extremists clearly do not have mankind's well-being in mind but, rather, seek its destruction to the point where people disappear from existence itself. Their actions on things like possum drops, horse-tripping, and many other instances when animals are used clearly demonstrate their wanting to pervert individual rights from a means of human self-preservation and instead use them as a means of human extermination.

[Hi, Van Winkle's readers! Woolly is a curious exploration of comfort, wellness, and modern life — published and emotionally supported by Casper. Check it out.]
Cat's are adorable enigmas. Not only are they picky little things, only luxuriating only in certain boxes and with particular toys. They're also sneaky, lying on their backs and luring you in with belly rubs, only to snap at the hand that pets them. Their sleep habits, however, are less of a mystery.
Felines sleep a lot, clocking as much as 16 hours of shuteye per day. This is all a result of their previous lifestyle: In the wild, cats needed to chase and capture prey in short, quick bursts, so time not spent hunting was spent conserving their energy. (Just take a look at lions.)
During their long bouts of rest, cats sleep in a variety of awwww-inspiring positions, each of which is determined by how secure they feel in their environment. To find out more, we contacted Dr. Elizabeth Colleran, a vet and former president of the Association of American Feline Practitioners, who took us on a walking tour of kitty dreamland.
The Crescent
Sleeping curled up with its tail wrapped around its body shows that a cat senses no immediate threats. The compact shape also conserves heat on cold days.
The Cuddle Puddle
Have multiple felines? Cats will sleep touching other cats if they've known each other since they were kittens. When it comes to co-sleeping, cats only trust the feline companions they consider family.
The Tuck
Like many animals, cats love the security and comfort of sleeping in warm, dark places. That's why you'll often find them curled up inside a linen drawer or under the covers near your feet. Whether or not it's good for people to share beds with cats is a different question
The Half Close
For the first 10-30 minutes of sleep, cats are on high alert. Although they may appear to be totally knocked out, the slightest sound will jolt them awake. This is an inherited state, as their larger, fiercer ancestors were wary of things that went bump in the day and night.
The Press Paws
Sleeping on all four feet could be a sign that a cat feels unsafe and wants to be in a position that enables a quick getaway. However, it could also indicate serious health issues. To prevent compressed lungs, a cat with problems like pneumonia will try to keep its chest elevated above the ground by resting on its paws.
The Pirate
When a cat sleeps with one eye open, it perceives a potential threat in its surroundings. One side of the brain sleeps, while the other stays awake. This is called unihemispherical sleep and also occurs in birds and aquatic mammals, who must rise to the water's surface to breathe air while they're sleeping.
The Dangler
Only a truly comfortable cat will sleep in this vulnerable pose, because it would too long to assume a position to flee. Consider yourself lucky if your feline regularly naps in this manner. Just be careful when you go for its belly. The only thing more bite-y than a cat is a drowsy cat.

Starring: William Petersen, Brian Cox, Dennis Farina and Stephen Lang
Directed by Michael Mann
Format: DVD
"Former FBI profiler Will Graham reluctantly returns to his old job to track a horrific serial killer known as the 'Tooth Fairy.' But in order to get into the mind of this maniac, Graham must face another: Hannibal, the imprisoned psychiatrist whose own insanity almost cost Graham his life…and whose insights into the Tooth Fairy could prove as dangerous as the killer himself."
My Story:
I heard about this movie on some Bravo countdown I think, and then later found out that it was the first in the Hannibal Lecktor (Lecter) series. I really enjoyed The Silence of the Lambs, as did my girlfriend (who you probably remember from the Trick or Treat post). So I bought the movie and it's been sitting around waiting for the both of us to sit down and watch it. We will today as a bit of a breather from the 4 Films Collector's Set I've been dealing with. She decided not to co-write on this one, but I'm sure she'll have something good to add.
My Thoughts:
- I really liked that opening sequence.
- I wonder if I should watch Petersen's performance thinking about Gil Grissom or just as Will Graham.
- Are they building a garden on the beach? What IS that?
- They keep talking about Graham "going back," I wish they'd just say what it is he's going back to.
- My god, that bedroom was destroyed!
- That telephone ring sounded pretty bad. It sounded like dying batteries.
- My guess is that the murderer is going to come after Will's wife…especially by this suspenseful music.
- What a terrible jump cut! That was awful.
- Will Graham is angry.
- Okay, this guy is a serial killer? I thought he was just a one-time killer.
- "The Tooth Fairy"…really?
- Can you get a thumbprint off of an eye? Is that possible? Oh, they said thigh, not eye. Thanks, Carly.
- Will Graham just somersaulted a reporter onto a car! Badass.
- That must be a newly painted prison! Those cells are perfectly white!
- Lecktor is pretty good in this movie…I think I like Anthony Hopkins more though.
- I liked the way he said "privacy."
- Oh man, this Lecktor is slyyyyyyyy. Nevermind about Hopkins.
- How embarrassing, Will Graham WOULD leave his folder of bloody pictures open.
- That suit jacket Graham is wearing looks glittery…
- Graham is very intense about the Tooth Fairy.
- I write on toilet paper all the time.
- Did they just have a Bible kicking around the office? That was quick.
- It WASN'T the Bible?! WHAT!
- Stephen Lang always plays the most annoying characters very well.
- I have lost track of what's going on, you really have to keep up with all the evidence and discoveries.
- Get 'em Tooth Fairy, get 'em!
- The Tooth Fairy needs to get his cable fixed. That TV is going crazy.
- The Tooth Fairy's nuts.
- I can't say much more without giving it away…I just want to keep shouting and writing "NO!" and "WHAT?!"
- This is crazy.
- Nice Folgers product placement.
- Classic hand on a glass pane looking longingly. So sad Will Graham
- The Tooth Fairy's sun glasses are dope.
- "Ride with me, it would be because I would like you to." Such a smooth line, Tooth Fairy.
- Carly-"This is getting real creepy, real fast." Why yes it is.
- Wait til this woman finds out the Tooth Fairy KILLS people.
- Sketchball van.
- The 80s music is real bad.
- …The conclusion Will Graham is coming to isn't making sense yet…OH, I got it.
- Every single officer in the station, MOVE OUT.
- Oh, that officer definitely has a concussion.
- That ending was intense!
The Verdict:
We actually finished watching this movie before I finished Mortuary because it seemed like this was going to be SO much better. And it was, by far. It was just a really great movie, both of us thought. Up until the very, very end. Carly wasn't a fan, and I can't say I loved it either. It could've ended better, but it wasn't terrible. But overall, I thought the movie was great. While watching, you actually felt as if you were studying the case just as much as the detectives. You were making the connections along with them, and tracing a killer. Until about three-quarters in when you know who the killer is, and how he is living life. But that doesn't take anything away from the mystery of where he is and what he'll do next. Sometimes the connections that the detectives made moved a little to fast to comprehend, but you caught right back up at their next discovery. Some shaky editing here and there, but I was so wrapped up in the story that I could've cared less. A thriller I would highly recommend.

Because it is composed primarily of talc, it is usually very soft. Its name is derived from its "soapy" feel and softness. The Inuit and the Africans often used soapstone for traditional carvings. Some Native American tribes also used soapstone to make bowls and cooking slabs. In India soapstone is used for making coasters, boxes and sculpture with inlaid designs.

BREAKING: It Just Happened! He Broke Federal Law And Will Be Heading To Prison – Trump FURIOUS!
Ever since Trump became president, the liberal media has been incessant in their efforts to invent scandals that will get him impeached. One of their favorite fake narratives is it to paint Trump as a sexual predator, where before the election, women were coming out of the woodwork with outlandish claims, suspiciously waiting for decades to drop their stories until the presidential race. Now Fox News' Sean Hannity has delivered an unbelievable bombshell about the women who made these sexual misconduct allegations against Trump, after promising several days ago that this latest scandal would tear the Democratic Party apart.
Boom 💥 https://t.co/aM0p5yHqXm
— Sean Hannity (@seanhannity) December 15, 2017
Liberals never let the truth get in the way of a good story, and for months, we've witnessed the unbelievable lengths they will go to in order to get our President impeached. You'd think after being busted for their fake story about Trump peeing on Obama's bed with Russian hookers, that leftists would be more careful about the lies they weave, but given the fact that liberals only possess 3 functioning brain cells on average, they'll continue to make the same mistake again and again.
Liberals have just been busted in another major whopper, as Hannity's investigation is uncovering that it was a California lawyer behind these fake Trump accusers' stories, where lawyer Lisa Bloom offered to pay these women off for their lies. Bloom not only got these women to lie to further this nasty sexual narrative about Trump, but compensated these women quite greatly, paying one woman's mortgage off, and securing a six-figure payment to another.
A well-known women's rights lawyer sought to arrange compensation from donors and tabloid media outlets for women who made or considered making sexual misconduct allegations against Donald Trump during the final months of the 2016 presidential race, according to documents and interviews.
California lawyer Lisa Bloom's efforts included offering to sell alleged victims' stories to TV outlets in return for a commission for herself, arranging a donor to pay off one Trump accuser's mortgage and attempting to secure a six-figure payment for another woman who ultimately declined to come forward after being offered as much as $750,000, the clients told The Hill.
The women's accounts were chronicled in contemporaneous contractual documents, emails and text messages reviewed by The Hill, including an exchange of texts between one woman and Bloom that suggested political action committees supporting Hillary Clinton were contacted during the effort.
Bloom, who has assisted dozens of women in prominent harassment cases and also defended film executive Harvey Weinstein earlier this year, represented four women considering making accusations against Trump last year. Two went public, and two declined.
In a statement to The Hill, Bloom acknowledged she engaged in discussions to secure donations for women who made or considered making accusations against Trump before last year's election.
"Donors reached out to my firm directly to help some of the women I represented," said Bloom, whose clients have also included accusers of Bill Cosby and Bill O'Reilly.
Bloom said her goal in securing money was not to pressure the women to come forward, but rather to help them relocate or arrange security if they felt unsafe during the waning days of a vitriolic election. She declined to identify any of the donors.
And while she noted she represented sexual harassment victims for free or at reduced rates, she also acknowledged a standard part of her contracts required women to pay her commissions as high as 33 percent if she sold their stories to media outlets.
"Our standard pro bono agreement for legal services provides that if a media entity offers to compensate a client for sharing his or her story we receive a percentage of those fees. This rarely happens. But, on occasion, a case generates media interest and sometimes (not always) a client may receive an appearance fee," she said.
It's absolutely startling the lengths that these nasty Trump haters will go to in order to get him removed from office. There's already liberal morons calling for Trump's impeachment over these false allegations, as they see how successful these tactics worked to destroy Roy Moore's senate race bid. One of Moore's accusers was Beverly Young Nelson, the ex-waitress who charged that Moore groped her when she was 16 and he was in his 30s, and used her high school yearbook bearing Moore's signature as "proof" that she knew him. Even though Nelson would be busted for plagiarizing the yearbook entry, liberals still used the woman's false testimony as a way to push the narrative that Moore was a "sexual predator."
Despite the barrage of fake news, traitors infiltrating his administration, and half the country working to get him impeached, President Trump is still kicking ass and fulfilling his campaign promises to make America great again. Be sure to help expose this lie about our President and share this story. Knowledge is power!

I love the conversations around football. Something this popular also, simply put, holds a mirror to "our" society. Recent NFL seasons have exposed what we are willing to be complicit about in order to maintain "our" entertainment that is the sport of football. That list of what we're complicit about is incredibly long. Sports can challenge our understandings of masculinities, race, gender violence, sexual orientation, socioeconomic disparities, mental health, military, and all of those at once even if at times they feel like separate topics. It's one of the simplest ways to engage in important societal issues, and you can do this by simply asking, "Hey, what do you think about Kaepernick and what he stands for?" Simple and complex.
The topics above have been hashed out, re-hashed, and revisited as new information comes out. I'm not here to make a stance (although I have one). I'm here to explore something a little deeper that keeps surfacing for me year after year during football season. What I want to explore is the question: Is football something I actually enjoy or something that I learned to enjoy?

ContiTech acquired e-bike drive manufacturer Benchmark
16 June 2014
ContiTech recently acquired Benchmark Drives GmbH & Co. KG (BMD), a developed of e-bike drives, and is thus further expanding its commitment in the growing market for e-bikes and pedelecs.
ContiTech Power Transmission Group has been developing drive systems for bicycles, pedelecs, and e-bikes together with BMD for a long time. Last year, both companies presented a complete drive system for e-bikes and pedelecs comprising a central motor, display, control unit, and battery.
The tooth profile of the Conti Drive System's heavy-duty timing belt ensures maximum jump-over protection on drives for bicycles, pedelecs, and e-bikes.
|Conti eBike System at a glance: Display, integrated control unit in the left handle, Motor, battery (downtube and carrier variants). Click to enlarge.
This modular Conti eBike System is positioned in the premium segment and is smaller, more powerful, and lighter than other concepts currently on the market.
Since 2012, both companies have been selling the CONTI DRIVE SYSTEM, a drive technology for bicycles that uses a timing belt instead of the usual chain. The system thus dispenses with time-consuming oil lubrication and is therefore service-free and environmentally friendly.
Benchmark Drives was founded in 2010 and counts notable bicycle manufacturers among its customers. Drive systems from Benchmark Drives consist of an electric motor, rechargeable battery, control system, and display.
