Employees of the company running the pilot cull in Somerset were present in police operations rooms and directed the deployment of officers against protesters, a police investigation has said.
Around half of the personnel in the police's night-time control centre were either from HNV Associates or the NFU, according to the report, seen by the Guardian.
Campaigners said the report shows that the police acted almost as a 'private force' for the culling company.
Damian Carrington in the Guardian online reports: "A spokesman for Avon and Somerset police said having cull representatives in the control room gave them real-time information that helped keep the public safe and said changes to policing the cull when it resumes this year were still being discussed. The NFU, which also speaks for HNV Associates, denied that its members or anyone from the culling company had directed police action."
But the report says that of six people in the police control room, three were officers, while two were from HNV Associates and one was from the NFU. The police communications officer in the room said he felt the cull representatives "were actually directing the police" where to go to deal with incidents. The senior officer investigating the complaint, which had been made by a member of the public who had been "sett sitting" when badgers were shot, said that if the officers involved had been directed by cull operatives, this was "of concern and should not have been the case".

The British Veterinary Association appears to be threatening to withdraw its support for the government's disastrous "pilot" badger culls.
Defra's response to the findings of the Independent Experts' Panel has been criticised, with critics remaining unconvinced that the called-for improvements will be made in order to make the culls both more effective and more humane.
The Western Morning News reports today (23rd April 2014):
"The battle over the findings of the Independent Experts' Panel into the pilot badger culls has taken an increasingly bitter turn in recent days, with the British Veterinary Association threatening to withdraw support for the culls.
"The BVA Council said effectiveness and humaneness would have to improve before the culls could be rolled out more widely. And it criticised Defra's response to the IEP report which it said failed to provide convincing evidence that the necessary improvements would be made. It is calling for an urgent meeting with Defra.
"The BVA said it had decided to support the continuation of cull in Somerset and Gloucestershire – but only because it said it feared halting culling now could lead to an increase in bovine TB.
"The BVA's intervention came as the NFU's South West regional board expressed frustration about the direction the fight to reduce bovine TB – in the wild and in cattle – was taking. It said politics had taken precedence over animal health and was compromising the welfare of all susceptible species, including domestic pets."

The Shropshire Star has today (5th April) reported the news that Owen Paterson's proposed rollout of the 'pilot' badger culls to Shropshire this year will not now happen.
The environment secretary made his announcement on Wednesday, following the publication of a report by the Independent Expert Panel, set up to monitor last year's pilots, which concluded that the culls in Somerset and Gloucestershire had been neither effective nor humane.
It also proved much more expensive than anticipated: each dead badger ended up costing the taxpayer more than £1,500, according to Defra figures – almost three times as much as it was costing to vaccinate them, as the Welsh government is now doing. The cost implications could well be a decisive factor with a general election approaching.
Some farmers are disappointed that the pilot culls will not be rolled out, but wildlife groups have hailed the decision. Writing on the Guardian website, Patrick Barkham says: "He [Paterson] should be congratulated by scientists, activists and farmers for choosing an alternative – vaccination – which looks dangerously like science-led policy-making." You can read the full article here.
Paterson announced that badgers will now be vaccinated in 'buffer zones' around the edges of TB hotspots to prevent the further spread of TB infection. This is to be welcomed.
Unfortunately, the culls in Somerset and Gloucestershire are set to continue, with changes made to their implementation following lessons learned from last year's pilots.
The Shropshire Star's article has a poll where you can have your say on whether the environment secretary's decision is the right one; and you can read the IEP's full report here, and Defra's response.
Ecologist website has today (Friday 14th February) reported that Defra has quietly released astonishing new figures showing that bTB was declining in autumn 2013, even as Owen Paterson was claiming that it was on the increase.
According to the website, in mid-January Defra released the news that it had been 'overstating' the figures for the incidence of bovine TB due to 'glitches in data entries' since September 2011.
The numbers of herds 'not Officially Free of BTB due to a TB incident' - non-OFT for short - would have to be revised significantly downwards for 2012 and 2013.
The revised figures have now appeared this week, to little fanfare.
While there were some minor revisions to the numbers of new-herd incidents and the number of herds under movement restrictions, the real shock comes in the figures for the non-OFT herds.
During the very period that Paterson had claimed that BTB incidence was increasing, the number of non-OFT herds - those considered to have BTB or to be at serious risk of BTB - dropped.
Among other figures, in Wales, no doubt due to biosecurity measures and the new vaccination policy, there was a 24% fall in new herd infections.

On Saturday 8th February we will be showing our feelings about any proposed cull in Shropshire with a march and speeches in Shrewsbury.
Owen Paterson has made clear his wish to see pilot culls extended to Shropshire this year, despite the fact that the culls in Gloucester and Somerset have been widely seen as a monumental failure on all counts.
You can make your voice heard by joining us in The Quarry Park, 1 St Chad's Terrace, Shrewsbury SY1 1RN at 1pm on 8th February.
Speakers in attendance will be Dominic Dyer of Care For The Wild, Jim Ashley, chairman of the Shropshire Badger Group, and Drew Pratten, wildlife campaigner. Join us and please spread the word via Facebook and Twitter!

Car Seat Shopping Guide for Small and Premature InfantsSmall babies and those with special needs due to prematurity or other medical conditions will not fit well in all car seats sold for newborns. Selection must consider both proper harness fit and the manufacturer's lowest weight limit rating. Read more...
For Children with Special Health Care NeedsMany children with medical or behavioral conditions can use regular car seats. For those who can't, there are products available that are specially designed and tested to meet the same standard as regular car seats.
The following website offers considerable detail about transportation safety needs of children:National Center for the Safe Transportation of Children with Special Health Care Needs, Riley Hospital for Children, Indianapolis
AAP Updates Report on CPS for Preemies and Low Birth Weight Infants The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has released the updated clinical report, "Safe Transportation of Preterm and Low Birth Weight Infants at Hospital Discharge." The report is the result of a lengthy and thorough analysis and review process headed by Marilyn J. Bull, MD, and William A. Engle, MD.
The new clinical report replaces the policy statement on this subject that had been in effect since 1996. The AAP added the clinical report classification sometime after the prior policy statement was issued. With this update, it was determined that the document better suited the definition of a clinical report ("guidance for the clinician in rendering pediatric care"), so it was reclassified.Main Points in the Updated AAP Publication
Chief among the subjects covered in this publication is the need for a "period of observation" in a CR before a preemie or low birth weight infant is discharged from the hospital. It is noteworthy that the AAP does not give a name to this process, thereby opting to not give a nod to any of the various terms used in practice, such as Angle Tolerance Test or Car Seat Challenge.
It does make some new recommendations regarding the period of observation. The duration of the observation period is specified as 90-120 minutes or the length of travel home, whichever is longer. Specific parameters for test failure are not given, leaving that decision to each hospital. Interventions are, however, suggested in cases where the infant fails the parameters set by the hospital. These include use of a car bed, supplemental oxygen, continued hospitalization, and further medical assessment. It states that infants leaving the hospital in a car bed should be observed in that type of device, and another test should be given when transitioning from the car bed to a traditional rear-facing CR.
The report identifies the hospital tester as someone trained both in proper CR use and testing procedures, and it also states that medical staff should train parents regarding CR use for the infant. The previous policy was more vague in describing the tester as an "appropriate" staff member.
The report also lays out a strong case for taking the recommended precautions when transporting a preemie or low birth weight infant, outlining the possible cardio-respiratory events that can occur in transport and why it is important to both the long- and short-term health of the infant to avoid these events. It also lists seven "Research Implications" as suggestions for areas where improvements in care options can be made.

I would like to spend my allotted time with you on the leaf-blower industry, and how the marketers of this much-maligned and in many ways infuriating mechanism have done a lousy job of defending themselves.
One could argue that the leaf blower is a model of efficiency and even water conservation, but the only argument emanating from leaf-blower makers is that any efforts to tone down their noise and fumes will lead to less powerful products.
The leaf-blowing industry, in other words, has been asleep at the switch. And while they have been making excuses for themselves, the evidence piles up that leaf blowers are a plague on humanity.
The California Air Resources Board, for instance, claims that the types of air pollutants emitted by a gasoline-powered leaf blower for half an hour are equivalent to what's churned out from a car going 30 mph for 440 miles. The World Health Organization recommends noise limits of 55 decibels but a leaf blower generates at least 70 to 75 decibels at 50 feet away and far higher at close range.
A website called Greenwich Citizens Against Leafblower Mania (or CALM), an anti-leaf-blower outlet, produces mostly favorable responses for its cause, but one irate citizen posted this rebuttal: "You assholes are the problem, not the leaf blowers. Just more Nazi rhetoric … Breathe deep and praise the Lord for the leaf blower, you will never get mine!"
The problem for the leaf-blower industry is that its defenders mostly sound like right-wing nutcases, like the example above. But in reality, the leaf blower had a noble beginning as a conserver of water. California was back in the '70s the first state to encourage the widespread use of leaf blowers. Because of a continuing drought, Los Angeles required gardeners to use leaf blowers instead of water to remove debris.
But now the state is leading the charge against leaf blowers. In Palo Alto, for instance, landscapers need a leaf-blower license and need to take a leaf-blower etiquette class.
"There is irony in encouraging the use and then wanting to regulate them out of existence," Bill Harley, the former president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, told Ground Maintenance magazine. The magazine also notes: "The noisy racket and smoky haze that leaf blowers produce led to the Great Blower Debate of the 1990s, the effects of which are finally beginning to affect the products on the shelves and, ultimately, the bottom line."
The leaf-blower makers, including Poulan, Kawasaki and Stihl, have put a big dent in broom, hose and rake sales to landscapers. The California Landscape Contractor Association says blowers have practically supplanted rakes and brooms for professional landscapers, according to Ground Maintenance.
Landscapers say that if they had to go back to nonmechanized products, their cost would increase 20% but they could only raise prices by a third of that.
The pro-leaf-blower response, overall, has been tepid. The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute doesn't do much on its website to defend leaf blowing. And the industry maintains that if members switch to quieter, nonpolluting electric leaf-blowers, there would be serious trade-offs. "The cost of compliance is high," Mr. Harley told Ground Maintenance. "In order to comply, you may have to sacrifice power." And that, of course, would result in taking more time for each job, and time is money.
That's the tack the car guys took over the years -- that they would never be able to achieve higher gasoline mileage without sacrificing performance. Now they enthusiastically tout any advantage they have (some makers a little too enthusiastically) and they are using aluminum to cut down on weight for even better mileage.
That's the position the leaf blowers should take. Instead of bellyaching about how quieter blowers would curtail power, they should say how hard they're working to come up with quiet but efficient blowers. They should admit that noisy blowers are unacceptable to most people and emphasize how hard the industry is working to solve the problem.
Trust is what it's all about, and the leaf blowers aren't generating much of that. A Poulan commercial talks about how "nobody ever bought and sold trust. It was just something you had to earn, and once you had it you worked harder just to keep it. By taking on the tough jobs, giving the right advice, doing what you said you would do. As long as trust is worth earning, we promised we'll continue to earn yours."
The commercial did not feature the company's leaf blowers.

What does unlocked cell phone mean
Info Guru, Catalogs.com

Thank You For Voting
What does unlocked cell phone mean when you are shopping for a smartphone?With the prices of smartphones seemingly going up every day, we are hearing more and more about the elusive unlocked phone. People who work in the industry tend to toss the term around like everyone around them knows exactly what they are talking about, but the fact of the matter is, most people are left asking, "what does unlocked cell phone mean?"
It isn't a situation where you have to pick a lock in order to use the phone or open the ancient clamshell devices that are getting so much rarer.
So what does unlocked cell phone mean? Boiled down to a nutshell, an unlocked device is one that can be used on many different cellular carriers.
If you think cell phone prices are getting more expensive, then you should see what some of these phones cost if you don't have a contract. Cellular providers tend to work out price point deals with the makers of different phones and in turn offer them up to their customers at discounted prices. Usually these discounted prices come with a catch in the form of a contract (usually two years).
These phones also come with a special kind of encryption that tethers the phone to that specific wireless carrier. By doing this, the company knows you aren't buying a phone and then immediately turning around and using the phone on another carrier's network. This is one of the reasons it was such a big deal when it was reported that Apple finally allowed Sprint to carry the iPhone after initially only allowing AT&T and then Verizon.
So what does unlocked cell phone mean? It means that you can indeed buy an unlocked phone from AT&T and use it on the Sprint network (at least in theory, at the moment there's a reason why you can't I'll explain in a minute.) This is actually good for you, because you can usually buy an unlocked phone without having to tell one carrier or another you will only use their service for the next two years. Not locking into a contract usually means saving some big bucks on cancellation fees.
The Key To the Unlocked Phone
Ok, you say, I've got the gist of what an unlocked phone is, but how does it work, what makes it different from a regular cell phone?
The key to an unlocked phone is all in the Subsciber Identity Module (SIM) card. The SIM card is the tiny little microchip looking card that is usually at the back of your phone under the battery cover. This is removable and when you do remove it all sorts of information comes with you.
Removing the SIM card and putting it into an unlocked phone will transfer not only data like music and contacts but it will also tell the cellular network to send any calls or texts to whatever phone contains the SIM card. Unlocking and moving from one network to another is really this simple.
Can Any Phone by Unlocked?
This is where unlocking gets a little tricky and why the example of using an AT&T phone on the Sprint network doesn't work. There are actually two different kinds of major cellular phone technology.
The first kind is the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) and in the United States is currently used by AT&T, Cingular, T-Mobile, Boost and Cricket. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is another kind of phone that is used most often by Sprint, Verizon, Virgin Mobile and Alltel. So while both GSM and CDMA phones can be unlocked, they are not interchangeable. If you bought a phone that is CDMA and you attempt to unlock it, you will still not be able to use the unlocked phone on wireless networks that operate with GSM, and vice versa.

(2009) Microbial PHA biosynthesis and its biomedical applications. In: Proceedings of Euromat 2009, Glasgow, 7 - 10 September 2009. Euromat.Full text not available from this repository.
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), are polyesters of 3-, 4- 5- and 6-hydroxyalkanoic acids, produced by a variety of bacterial species under nutrient-limiting conditions with excess carbon[1]. PHA production by Bacillus cereus SPV and Pseudomonas sp. has been explored under different nutrient limiting conditions[2]. Bacillus cereus SPV has been found to produce maximum PHA under nitrogen limiting conditions. Interestingly P(3HB-co-3HV) production was obtained using glucose under potassium-limiting conditions[2]. The Pseudomonas sp. have also been found to utilise a range of different carbon sources including structurally related fatty acids and structurally unrelated carbohydrates. Mcl-PHAs produced include P(3HO), P3(HHX-co-HO-co-HD) and the previously unknown novel mcl-PHA, P(3HO-co-2HDD). The PHAs produced have been used for the production of tissue engineering scaffolds and drug delivery structures with and without Bioglass®[3]. The microstructure, bioactivity and drug release kinetics have been studied. PHA composites with micro-sized bioactive glass (m-BG) have been compared to composites with nano-sized bioactive glass (n-BG)[4]. The incorporation of n-BG particles had a significant reinforcing effect on the composite due to enhancement of the elastic modulus as a function of the n-BG content.

Girl 'possessed' after playing with Ouija board0:44
Three American friends have been hospitalised after allegedly becoming 'possessed' by evil spirits while playing with a Ouija board.
THREE family members were hospitalised when they showed signs of being possessed by a demon after playing with a Ouija board in Mexico.
Alexandra Alvarado Huerta, her brother, Sergio, and their cousin, Fernando Alvarado Cuervas, used the spirit board in the village of San Juan Tlacotenco, according to the Daily Star.
Ms Huerta was later filmed being restrained in the back of an ambulance while she growled and laughed maniacally, while the other two were also taken to hospital behaving "as if they were possessed by a demon," the British newspaper reports.
At one point in the unverified video, Ms Huerta tells medics, "We're going to die."
"You have to get better, your family is waiting for you," a man tells her in Spanish.
She then replies: "They will die."
Victor Manuel Rojas Demesa, the director of public safety in nearby town Tepoztlan, said the rescue of the three young people was "very complicated".
"They had involuntary movements and it was difficult to transfer them to the nearest hospital because they were so erratic.
"It appeared as if they were in a trancelike state, apparently after playing with the Ouija board.
"Whether they were really possessed, or had simply convinced themselves that they were possessed, was not for the doctors to comment on."
Ms Huerta's parents said a local priest refused to carry out an exorcism because the family were not regular churchgoers.
Doctors eventually calmed her with a combination of painkillers and anti-stress medication.

It's Friday and I know you are sick of working or looking for work. Let's talk TV because I am addicted to the show HOARDERS.
- Have you seen it?
- Are you shocked by it?
- Has anyone gagged while watching the show? (I almost threw up when I saw the dead cats in the attic.)
I am not sure if hoarding is a disease that is unique to America, but I'll tell you this much — hoarding is the least of your concerns if you are willing to live in filth and clutter. You think it's okay to have rotting food in your fridge because throwing it away is wasteful? You won't vacuum because you are afraid that you are somehow killing your dog? You want to hang on to prescription medicine from 1995?
You are nuts. Let's stop talking about the stuff and start talking about how you need to be on Prozac.
The show is fascinating and I wonder if any of you know hoarders. Are you a hoarder? Do we need to call 1-800-GOT-JUNK? to clean out your house?

Property Development Loans – Basics And Key Features
Instead of purchasing a new or an already existing house, perhaps you may want to consider building a house of your own. Building and owning a brand-new house brings a host of advantages, such as lower repair costs, higher energy efficiency, and further customization options.
A property development loan
If you opt to build a new house, your first step will be to get a development loan. A development loan is a type of financing that is typically procured by a property developer, with the aim of raising the necessary funds for either a new project or a renovation project.
However, getting a development project can be a rather complicated and frustrating procedure, especially if you are an inexperienced, small developer. In most cases, lenders see this lending form as being quite risky and will seek to alleviate the risks by stipulating rather strict acceptance criteria.
Two separate loans
A standard development loan typically consists of two separate loans. The first loan comes in the form of a land loan, which provides the funds necessary for the procurement of the land plot that is going to be used for property development. In most cases, this loan provides around 70% to 80% of the land value. It also remains outstanding for the entire duration of the development project. The second of these loans is better known as the development loan proper, which provides the necessary funding for the actual construction of the property. This loan covers everything from the architect drawings and fees to the material supplies and contractor fees. And, just like the land loan, the development loan will be typically valued at around 70% to 80% of the total build costs.
A multi-tiered loan
Also, keep in mind that obtaining a development loan that covers the full extent of the project costs will be very difficult and complex to arrange. However, it could be theoretically possible, by looking to arrange a multi-tiered loan. In this case, one lender will provide the initial outlay, whereas the senior lender will provide a second loan, which will allow for the total cost of the project's completion.
Renovation loans
If you need a development loan for the purposes of renovation though, the entire process is much easier and simpler. The odds of obtaining a successful loan will rise dramatically. The main reason behind this is the high possibility that the original property, which is going to be renovated, may hold just enough equity to completely underwrite the development loan. This is why many lender establishments view this as a fairly low-risk prospect.
Loan brokerage
Now, regardless of the circumstances, don't forget to seek quality services of a reputable new build finance broker. Also, keep in mind that any application for a development loan will have to be supported by a plethora of important documentation, which will include a robust business plan, as well as a fully audited account.
An experienced and reputable finance broker will be more than capable of helping you obtain and manage this documentation, while at the same time serving as the main point of contact between the lenders and the builders. Usually, the introduction of a reputable finance broker is one of the main requirements for the procurement of a property development loan. Therefore, when entering a new construction venture, be sure to make this addition to your financial team.…Read More

|Impacted by the cold and dry spell.
Monstera is a large-leaf philodendren. I planted several as fill between some live oaks in some open beds in my back yard (hence, full sun). Like the xanadu, they prefer indirect sun and so I am not surprised that they have not thrived, but my hope is that the oaks will soon become more full and provide more shade. Once mature and thriving, they appear to be robust; but before then, they seem to be rather delicate and impacted by cold and dry weather; they do best in the wet summer. It isn't widely known, but they produce an edible fruit that is supposed to taste similar to a pineapple; however, we have been warned that it is very difficult to gauge the ripeness... and if you eat it before it is perfectly ripe, it feels like broken glass going down your throat. If they survive and eventually thrive and produce the fruit, we will test it and post a follow-up.

Iloved it all!!!!!
(Warning lots of pictures!)
Our Christmas weekend was wonderful; relaxing and filled with family!
Christmas Eve Eve, the hubby and I went to dinner at the Seattle Space Needle. It was very cool, the whole restaurant turned 360 degrees in an hour so you got to see the whole view. It was a start to a great Christmas.
Mason was very excited that Santa was coming to his house. Before bed went outside and looked through a paper towel roll to look for Santa and his reindeer. In the morning he was so shocked that Santa didn't eat all his cookies(we left one with a bite mark).
Christmas morning, Levi and I were up at 5am ready for Mason to wake up. 7am rolled around coffee was made, cinnamon rolls were done but still no Mason. I even tried waking him up, I went into the bed and said "Merry Christmas Mason" and he's response was "Thanks, okay leave me alone I'm sleeping." He finally woke up at 8am came into the living room was a little crabby until Dad said look Santa came and he got so excited.
The gift he asked Santa for(a guitar)!
We had left one of the presents outside from Santa so when he was done playing with the rest under the tree he would have a suprise outside. He loved it.
Then my parents came over for Christmas Dinner and brought more gifts. We had a ham dinner just the 5 of us. A very low key Christmas, I really liked it.
I am so thankful for all the gifts we got.
We still have this week of vacation, but I sadly am sick AGAIN. Hopefully I'm feeling better by tomorrow or Thursday!!

Halloween costume ideas for dogs include a Chia Pet costume and a Lego block costume. Use plastic greenery and an orange or brown baby sleeper to create the Chia Pet Costume. To create the Lego block costume, use an appropriately sized shoe box, six bottle caps and spray paint.Continue Reading
For the Chia Pet costume, cut the baby sleeper so that the dog can go to the bathroom easily. Choose plastic greenery with small leaves that resemble sprouting chia, and sew the greenery onto the sleeper, covering the back and shoulder areas.
For the Lego block costume, turn over a lidless shoe box so that the bottom acts as the top. Add a strap to the open bottom to secure the costume to the dog. Create a hole at the front for the dog's head, and trim the back part so that the dog can easily use the bathroom. Glue two lines of three bottle caps to the top of the box, and then spray paint the entire costume one solid color.Learn more about Halloween

Have you ever eaten a meal that was so good you didn't want it to end, even when your stomach was past the point of being satisfied? Maybe you've asked for a take away box so you could savor it later and avoid that uncomfortably "beyond full" feeling.
For me, studying Beth Moore's James: Mercy Triumphs has been a bit like eating my fill of an unforgettable meal and still wanting more. Packed with truth layered on top of truth, the book of James is going to take a while for me to digest. I predicted that studying it would change us, and in my life, it certainly has. As we wrap up our final week of study, let's savor what we've learned. Let's pack up the truths and take them with us after we answer the final question and write the last verse in our workbooks. Instead of having the study become a fond memory; let's allow it to transform our lives so that we can be doers of the word, not just hearers.
In the final week of study, Beth Moore describes the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem in AD 70. She says: "Yet before a single stone was thrown to the ground, a cornerstone was set in place. Upon it rolled one living stone after another so that, by the time the sanctuary built by human hands was destroyed, another constructed by God's hand was under way…Look really closely with your minds eye…gaze further and further up that heap until you make it to the stack where the 21st century sets in place. See us? You and me? There we are, two living stones" (p. 204-205). All that we've been challenged to put into practice while studying James is making us living stones- a human temple used for God's glory.
"You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with the saints, and members of God's household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone. The whole building, being put together by Him, grows into a holy sanctuary in the Lord. You also are being built together for God's dwelling in the Spirit." Ephesians 2:19-22
As I think back on the last seven weeks of study, there are a few truths I'll carry with me in my "to go" box:
–Not just hearing the word, but doing what it says: I pray God will continue showing me where and how to apply His word to daily life. Whether it is caring for the needy with compassion or seeking wisdom from heaven, I want to live out the things I'm learning more consistently.
–Taming my tongue: Since studying and writing about James 2, I've become more sensitive to the Holy Spirit prompting me to keep my tongue in check. I seem to fail daily, but continue striving to let my words be pleasing to God and positive and encouraging to others. I am much more cognizant about my conversation topics and what things would be better left unsaid.
–Submitting my long and short term plans to God: I spend a significant portion of time planning and thinking about the future. I am working hard to submit this to God daily. In the past few weeks several major disruptions to my schedule have given me a chance to put this into practice immediately. (God certainly has a sense of humor!) I'm learning to see interruptions to my schedule as divine appointments where He is giving me an opportunity to serve or bless someone else.
–Surrendering insecurity: Beth Moore hits me right between the eyes in her Session Five video when she says: "Insecurity is when your own mind turns on you." I've been reminded that insecurity is just another form of self- absorption. When I'm consumed with myself and my perceived flaws and failings, I'm incapable of seeing beyond myself to impact others. My eyes are on myself, not Jesus. This is an ongoing area that needs to be surrendered in my life.
–Rejecting cynicism: In her Session Six video, Beth Moore addresses the perils of Christians who fall into cynicism. I don't know if I've ever heard a Bible teacher speak on this subject and it certainly struck a cord in me. The trap of cynicism has ensnared me for much of my life. It is convicting to hear it defined as "carnality that thinks it's smart and that carries an air of superiority." The idea that cynicism can be fueled by disappointment with people has also been a reality in my life. This is an area where I need to be on my guard and continually looking to Jesus to renew my mind.
How about you? What will you remember long after you've closed the James: Mercy Triumphs workbook and tucked it on your bookshelf? Look back through the lessons and write down the powerful truths you want to remember and apply to your life. What will you carry in your "take away" box as you move forward? Post a comment and let others hear what spoke to you from this powerful book.

We went back through history to when Bolivar Trask introduced them in 1965. They started with the Mark I and went through so many variants, but what we found is they all had some similarities.
The main thing was, they were all humanoid. They all had a head, arms and legs, and that was something that was very important for Bryan to keep. And they were also purple. We thoughts how fantastic the purple colouring was, it was just great and unusual and exciting. That was just part of the inspiration for their look. In the 70s there was so much great design, but something that was particularly strong in the era was beautiful industrial design, which was very clean, very rounded, using a lot of plastic, a lot of smoked Plexiglas.
The electronics within the head give the impression of a face when they activate and move," Myhre adds. "So while it doesn't literally have a nose, eyes and a mouth, when you see it moving and the mechanics flittering around beneath that tinted plastic, you definitely get the impression of a face. Which just makes it more horrifying
About the future ones, I have no idea if Magneto can control them, I guess he can, but he might not have fully recovered his powers. He is also old.
And they are supposed to have magnetic shields too:

Tim Burton's Sweet Stroll
Director Tim Burton and his Hot Topic spokesfamily go for a walk around chilly London in Hampstead on Wednesday (the day after Christmas).
Burton, 49, was accompanied by actress partner Helena Bonham Carter, 41, and son Billy-Ray, 4. Helena gave birth to a daughter nearly two weeks ago, tomorrow.
Tim's most recent movie Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, a blood-gushing adaptation from Stephen Sondheim's 1979 hit, is out in theaters now. It came in 5th at the box office this past weekend, pulling in a healthy $9.4 million. Hollywood, keep making more musicals!
It was also announced that Tim will be directing a film adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, which will feature live action and animation! WEEEEEEEEEEE! Filming of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is scheduled to begin early 2008. Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast) is working the script.
10+ pictures inside of Tim Burton's sweet stroll…

Today I'm excited to share with you my A True Lady Gift Box that's up on the Graphic 45 blog which features a variety of Staples and Portrait of a Lady collection. My gift box is perfect to put that special gift in to give to that special woman in your life for either Mother's Day or a Birthday. You'll want to make sure to head over to Graphic 45's blog to check out the rest of the photos of my project as well as check out Magda's fabulous project.
Our challenge this month with Graphic 45 was to upcycle something that you may throw out. Upcycling has become a big trend now and it allows you to transform an old piece you may throw out into something beautiful. I hope you enjoy all the photos and are inspired to choose a piece to upcycle at home.
Here's how my gift box started.
Tip: If your box is tight when closing and opening it, adhere washi tape in the corners to help prevent ruining the corners of the patterned paper.
Tip: Add claw feet to the bottom of the box to give it some extra character.
These are just a few of the photos from my A True Lady Gift Box. To see more pictures of my upcycled box, you'll want to head over to Graphic 45's blog.
Supplies Used:
- Portrait of a Lady 12x12 papers: Isabella, Josephine, Elizabeth, Alexandra, Victoria and Blanche

I was so excited when I first learnt about this trick. It's saved me so much time faffing around tying knots in the end of thread, especially when I was a primary school teacher tying knots in 30 threads!
So let's not keep it a secret any longer, sharing is caring after all!
Just click the link to watch it.
Why not try it out on your next Cuddle Crew sewing pattern?

Piano lessons/ Clases de piano (Mexico City)
If anybody is looking to learn how to play the piano; look no further.
My studies are mostly in classical repertoire (I studied in the US privately for many years, and here in Mexico in the Conservatory and the Escuela Superior de Música), but I can teach, more importantly, the foundations of music so you are able to play whatever you want. I include in my lessons, basic music theory, solfeggio, harmony, etc.
I speak fluent English and Spanish, so I can accommodate your respective need.
If you also need an accompanist for a voice recital, or even "vocal" advise I specialize in accompanying vocal repertoire; things like the italian songbook, religious arias, and opera arias.
I'm located in the southern part of the DF, near the Centro Nacional de las Artes.

In town to sell his fruit, he saw her—
Françoise in her summer slacks—
turning to him, coming back
to feel the swelling plums,
one held in each soft hand, breast-high,
above them her eyes enclosing him
in quietness brushed up to colors,
urgings green, thrustings yellow.
A vine-like touch, her promise seemed all profit,
surplus to lay aside and store,
quick harvest if he collapsed his stand,
pulled down his crates, rolled away his canvas:
full bounty if he washed his hands and followed,
trailing her fragrances
of melons in their prime, of berries bursting.
She turned to go, her scent adrift
as if from glistenings in soil turned off a spade.
His yearning had no time
to plant and cultivate
and wait for rain,
yet he was quick to catch a peach about to fall—
that brightness of his wrist
costing the moment that concealed her in the crowd;
and yet a perfect peach lay in his hand,
his only means to feel the way good seasons end.
A lucky day, he thought,
begins with plums.

A new program at 600 Goodale aims to stimulate appreciation for the arts and inspire residents to express themselves artistically.
The Artist-In-Residence program is slated to kick off Tuesday, August 27 with Sip and Sketch. Attendees should bring journals, sketch pads, or canvas and a bottle of their favorite wine to share.
"It's a triple threat of creativity, social lubricant and getting to know your neighbors," says Daniel Fox, artist in residence at 600 Goodale and co-owner of Skreened.
Other program events will include arts-related workshops, ride togethers (where residents will ride together to music and art events), and field trips to visit various local studios, artisans, and collectors.
"I'm not a traditional artist in terms of paint on canvas, but I do a lot of thinking and coaching with people about their creative processes," Daniel says. "I thought about the amazing talents people in our community could share, as well as things I could bring, then scheduled them all in a way that made sense."
Daniel says his passions lay in creating communities where people are connected and expressing themselves.
"What I want is for everyone to know really down deep that they can create anything they want and to not be afraid of what comes out of them, and to not judge their process or what is good or bad," he adds. "I want to engage people in an exercise of being brave with their own expression."
Daniel is excited to not only have an outlet for the visual arts, but also a venue for the performing arts.
"We're going to host improv comedy events, as well as dance and music opportunities, so I'm excited to take a slightly broader definition to the concept of the arts here," he says.
Daniel has been a resident at 600 Goodale for just a few weeks, but he's already fallen in love with his new home.
"It's one of the most beautiful places I've lived and I've woken up with feelings of gratitude for it every day so far," he says.
Those interested in learning more about the Artist-In-Residence program should contact Daniel via email at email@example.com.

A 30-year project to collect environmental data from Yellowstone National Park has been approved.
The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) was conceived as a project to "enable understanding and forecasting of the impacts of climate change, land use change and invasive species on continental-scale ecology."
To enable data collection, an ecological research and monitoring site will be built on Blacktail Deer Plateau in the northern section of the park. The project will consist of a 59-foot tower with monitoring equipment and a satellite communications dish, an instrument hut, electrical power, a precipitation collection system, soil study plots and aquatic monitoring equipment installed in Blacktail Deer Creek.
The project also allows an annual plane flyover to collect data. Three flights no longer than four hours each will occur over a span of about three days.
The site in Yellowstone, one of 81 other land and water study sites scattered across the nation, will produce long-term monitoring data about the impacts of climate change, invasive species, and landscape changes. The information will be made available to scientists, researchers and the public to understand how the ecosystem responds to various types of change and stress.
Construction will begin this year, will be suspended during winter, then resume in July 2018 once the annual bear management closures in the area are lifted. Once activities end, all infrastructure will be removed. All areas will be returned to as natural a condition as possible.
The project is funded through the National Science Foundation's Major Research Equipment and Facilities Construction Program. Construction on other facilities began in 2012.
Although sponsored by the National Science Foundation, the NEON project is operated by Battelle which, somewhat ironically, was founded by a donation from the heir to an Ohio steel magnate's fortune. The company was founded in 1929 and since then has worked on a number of military projects including armor for U.S. tanks in World War II, developing nuclear fuel for Navy submarines and creating anti-drone weapons, as well as health care, transportation and medical device research.
More information about the NEON project is available at http://parkplanning.nps.gov/ynpneon

Fingerpaint hires Bruce Rooke, longtime GSW creative lead
Fingerpaint announced that it named Bruce Rooke to lead its ideation and innovation group.
Rooke hails from the inVentiv Health network where he most recently worked as chief creativity officer. Before that, Rooke worked as global chief creative officer at GSW, an inVentiv Health agency, for 10 years.
GSW President Marci Piasecki noted that Bruce's role was never filled when he moved into the inVentiv Health position as each of the four GSW agencies—in Columbus, Ohio; New York; Newtown, Pennsylvania; and Canada—now have their own creative directors.
See also: Top 100 Agencies 2015: GSW
"I look at this job as an opportunity to step back slightly out of the fray," Rooke said, noting that as part of his role, he will explore new ways to engage their clients' consumer base, whether that be physicians or patients.
Another aspect will be to partner with the growing digital health industry and develop partnerships with angel investors and venture capitalists to "create a steady stream of insight-driven products" that will benefit clients and "deliver on consumer healthcare client needs," he explained.
"Agencies aren't involved in any of that wave at all; they're usually just a few technologists that have a product," Rooke quipped, "but they don't have deep customer insights. They don't have the sales prowess or marketing expertise."
"Plenty of agencies have 'innovation groups,'" Rooke said. But "few of them have real teeth, because the traditional ad agency model wasn't built to explore and invest like entrepreneurs. Margins have to protected. And, yet, at the same time, good agencies have tremendous resources...so they should be a natural resource of entrepreneurial ideas and commercialization expertise."
See also: Top 100 Agencies 2015: Fingerpaint
Those new products Fingerpaint is looking to develop include "new media channels, new ways of generating insights, and new brand-sponsored ways of telling a different story about how patients can take care of themselves," he noted.
Rooke is part of Fingerpaint's big hiring splash in February; the agency recently brought on Bill McEllen, previously president of McCann Torre Lazur, to lead its office in Saratoga Springs, New York.Fingerpaint's new group will employ between three to five people.

Leaping Boy
This is one of those moments! The leap of faith.
Young Billy took a flying leap into Dutch Lake and I caught him in action. The image was the inspiration for this wild and exuberant painting.
To me it represents that enthusiasm and excitement we get from travelling. The wide eyed wonderment at all the world has to offer and the thrill of youth, adventure, daring to do it and being ALIVE!

I had not yet been to Big Easy, the newer restaurant by the group that owns 219, Bodega and a few others. One reason I had not made the effort was their menu - they do not have a ton of options for a vegetarian (read: no seafood), but it was restaurant week, my date was interested and I figured why not try it, since I knew the dining company would be great.
Do not bother parking in the Harbor Heights lot - this is now restricted for residential only, since The Market is no longer open. Fortunately, Big Easy has a valet, for which my date and I are both suckers. We did not have a reservation, which made me nervous but there were a few tables open and the hostess seated us immediately. Phew!
I asked our waitress if they had any accommodations for vegetarians other than the couple of items I saw on the regular menu and sadly, they did not. That is always a slight disappointment, but the Red Beans and Rice ($4.29) and the Field Green and Goat Cheese salad ($5.99) would do this evening because, as I confessed, I had had a piece of Coconut Macaroon Bread Pudding at Havana around 5:30 that evening. A lighter meal was probably in order. My date stuck with the restaurant week menu and chose the Romaine Salad with Buttermilk Dressing and Tasso Ham, the Louisiana Jambalaya with Chicken, Smoked Sausage and a Creole sauce, followed by the warm brownie dessert, all for $20. To start us off, the waitress brought cornbread with a honey, Tabasco and Creole spiced butter. The cornbread was fresh and that is one of my favorite breads and the butter was unique. I took a bite that must have had a heavy concentration of the spices and Tabasco - definitely a little heat, but I liked it! The Hearts of Romaine Salad was mediocre. The ham was almost non-existent and with a salad having so much potential, it was a disappointment. The jambalaya was better than the salad but the chicken was slightly dry, tisk tisk. My salad and beans and rice were both good, but the salad needed more candied pecans. Do not skimp on my nuts, which were a major part of the salad! I really did enjoy the maple syrup and Creole mustard vinaigrette. Big Easy should bottle and sell it. The beans and rice comes with or without a hot sauce, so I decided to try it on the side. Good move, one taste and I was making faces, not pleasant faces. It was closer to a wing sauce, not one of my favorite things, but if you like wing sauce, go for it. The brownie was pretty good, but it was unusually small. Sometimes with restaurant week, portion size shrinks.
Service was average at best. Our waitress was nice, but she yanked the butter out from under us when bread was still on our plates, she served my meal with minutes in between my date receiving his (too long) and she just did not seem checked into the situation, our dinner, which is bad...for us, but for Big Easy as well. I doubt either of us will be in a rush, or even a slow crawl, to get back there.
The atmosphere is similar to that of Club Soda, the former occupant of the space, and actually is quite pleasant. They do have a sort of discothèque, which is fun. I have heard others give the same pedestrian review I am giving, but then Laine did mention that Big Easy is supposed to be known for their oysters, so if you are an oyster fan, maybe the experience will be better. Good luck.

We, too, ventured to The Big Easy for the special week ... and while I would have liked to have seen more than two pieces of ham/bacon on my salad, the food was good -- and for 20 bucks!? What a steal! I had the salmon, my hubbie had the jambalaya (spelling?I think?) ... others had the catfish. All were pleased -- didn't knock our socks off, but again - for twenty bucks, a good deal.
We friends have been a number of times and give mad props to the oysters as well - as someone who is not a friend oyster fan, I had to pass.

Children are a vital part of the life of St Leonard's for several good reasons. They are our future - without children growing up in the Christian Faith there will be no church in years to come.
We believe it is crucial that young people begin their lives surrounded by Christian values and are active in the life of the church. This means providing activities and groups that are relevant to the children at each stage of their development.
We also believe it is important that they feel a real part of the church community with a voice of their own in matters of concern to the church body.
