Dream Dictionary BurglaryTo dream that you are guilty of burglary suggests that you feel guilty about something you've done in life recently. You have committed a crime and you feel like you should be punished for it. You probably got away with it too, and now you are wishing that you had been caught. Sometimes living with the knowledge that you did something wrong or that you hurt someone else is worse than the crime that you committed. Just turn yourself in if you feel like you really need to make amends for what you've done. If not, then keep having dreams where you are a cruel burglar and see how long you can last before guilt consumes you.
This dream meaning need not just apply to something that was illegal under the law though. Very often if you are having dreams where you commit a burglary, it means that you feel guilty for some other type of thing that you have done. You want to get retribution for having wronged someone else in your life and you feel like they deserve an apology. Just because it wasn't something wrong that you did in the eyes of the law doesn't mean that you don't feel terrible about it. You probably feel so bad about what you did that you think that it might as well be illegal. And worse, you probably got away with it too, so you can feel free to think of how bad you feel knowing that there is someone out there paying the price for you mistake and you got off Scott free. The only way that you can possibly make yourself feel better about this is if you go and turn yourself in, but this might be impossible for you socially. At least it will teach you not to have any ill will towards people in the future.
If you have a dream in which you witness a burglary but you are not the one being robbed, it suggests that you have done a good job of keeping your eyes open and watching out for potential threats. It's a tough job but someone has to do it and you are making sure, in watching others that something awful doesn't happen to you too. Continue to keep your eyes open and you will prevent anyone from taking advantage of you in the future.
To dream that you are witnessing the burglary of your own home suggests that you have not been paying enough attention to things around you recently Very rarely will a burglar actually choose a random house, and then that same day, break in and steal all of your things. Usually they keep watch for days finding out your normal schedule and when might be a good time to rob you. They are professionals and do their job stealthily so that they don't get caught. But if you had had your eyes open like you should have and if you were paying attention, you would have noticed what they were doing and been able to stop them. How this translates into the real world is just that if you don't pay attention to things going on around you, you are open for people to take advantage of you. Don't be a victim, be part of the solution.

AccueilImmigration, History and Memory in Britain
Appel à contributionHistoire
Publié le lundi 02 décembre 2002 par Natalie Petiteau
It has long been acknowledged that British history cannot be exclusively constructed from the histories of the white ethnic groups traditionally perceived to make up the British Isles. History in Britain, as in most nations, is a mosaic of different interpretations and experiences, of indigenous histories intertwined with the story of immigration and the development of migrant communities. This conference seeks to explore the meeting points between these tales of immigration and British history more generally, firmly writing the immigrant minority experience into the broader sweep of British historiography. It is also hoped that the conference will underline the significance of 'history from below' by examining the 'smaller histories' of the minority groups, and more particularly the role of history in constructing and maintaining ethnic and national identity. In order to achieve this the conference aims to break down the disciplinary boundaries that often prevent the wider dissemination and discussion of research relating to Britain's ethnic minorities, allowing a broad range of approaches, ideas and research findings to be shared. Following the themes of 'immigration, history and memory', the forum will provide an opportunity for scholars from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to bring together their work on the diverse minority groups in Britain.
Papers: Please send abstracts of around 250 words considering one or more of the following themes and groups by 28th February 2003
· We would like the conference to reflect the enormous diversity of immigrant groups in Britain, from Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle and Far East. Papers are welcomed covering periods within the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty first centuries, but this time-span is flexible, allowing for earlier research where this fits with the conference themes.
· Key themes: Papers are welcomed from a range of disciplines, most obviously history, anthropology, sociology, geography and media studies. This list is not prescriptive and papers addressing other relevant themes are also invited.
· History and national and ethnic identity
· 'Official' history and immigration
· Oral history and ethnicity
· Myths, controversial and hidden histories
· Racism, memory and forgetting
· Transmitting and/or 'performing' history
· Memory and forced migration
Abstracts should be sent to Kathy Burrell or Panikos Panayi

My story is a story of struggle, as I wrestled with issues of God and my own place in the world as a spiritual being, and this struggle have proven to be one of my greatest struggle. I was born and raised a Christian which is what I still am in part. Though, in my journey to find myself and my own path I have become much more than a simple Christian. For years I did not know what exactly my religion is or was. I struggled with my faith for years in a fairly mental abusive Christian extremist home, and many have ask, "How I made it through with my faith". My response to that is very simply, "How would I have made it through without my faith?"
It'll probably be a shock to many to hear I grew up in the church and spent my pre-kindergarten through 7th grade school years in a Christian school. It would probably also be less of a shock to learn that I got my first kiss that summer, saw the first penis that was not related to me, learned what smegma was to my horror, and I stumbled into the lifestyle. Well anyways after that summer my 8th grade year I begged and pleaded to go to public school, and I got my wish granted. I promptly went from a straight A student to a practically a straight F student the only class I was passing for the better part of the year was History. This was literally the biggest culture shock I have ever experienced in my life. Before this I loved Science, which yes we had in Christian school. I was not prepared for Earth Science though, because a lot of it fell back into evolution which haha I didn't know "surprise!"
The reason I have given you this knowledge though is, because it was during my high school year that everything changed. I still went to church, but my parents no longer did. They had become so much of extremist that they were beyond the church, and the church had nothing left to offer them. This was also the point I suffered the most mental abuse and degradation in my life even though it has never really stopped.
It was also in high school that since I excelled at History believe it or not I ended up in an AP Theology class. For those that may not know theology is the study of the nature of God and religious beliefs. This doesn't mean just Christian though as almost every religion has some form of God(s) and or Goddess. So to continue since this was a college level class our year long assignment was a thesis on religion that we drew out of a hat. I was blessed to reach in and pull out Wicca thus beginning my lust for knowledge of other religions.
That paper sparked what became a breakdown of my beliefs. It was from there that I questioned not only my religion but all of them. My parents saw this spark as I began bringing home books about Wicca, witchcraft, and etc. They tried to go to school and even stop this, but since it was my choice in the end. I choose that I wanted to complete this assignment. This was the beginning of a lot of grief, and when I say that having my belief system questioned is a trigger for me it come from this. They were enraged that I would choose to study a religion outside of Christianity. They would constantly day in and day out punish me for it. I spent a lot of time that year trying staying away from them as much as possible. I still had to go home at the end of the day though, and it was never good.
At that point I knew I wasn't just a Christian… I saw this every time I walk into a church or talk to my family. Every Christian that I know is not Christlike as all. Ranging from extremely judgmental to beyond close minded. This just isn't me… I am a very solitary person, open minded, non-judgmental, and extremely loving most Christians I know I can't even conceive of consider them loving. Most contemporary Christians are massively ignorant as to how the church got to where it is today and of how much current church practice is due simply to accumulated tradition, with little or no roots in Scripture I'm not very interested in Dogma or church politics at all though.
Towards the end of high school I began to consider myself a Christian with Wicca views, but that slowly changed into Trinitarian Christian or Christian Witch as I became and adult. Trinitarian is a path of American Wicca or Non-British Traditional Wicca that works exclusively with the Christian Pantheon. There are no church trappings or conflicts with the Bible, because they work directly with the Gods and Goddesses; church dogma does not have a place in their ritual structure. As for Christian Wicca, the term Christian is used as a modifier for the pantheon observed in this particular practice of Wicca, much like the concept of Celtic Wicca. They as Wiccan practitioners focused on a Goddess-inclusive Christian trinity. Christian Wicca was more descriptive, Trinitarian Wicca is far more accurate and far less controversial but it is hard to express the concepts of Trinitarian Wicca without using the term Christian in the definition.
In only the last few years I have began to consider myself more of a Christian Pagan or Christo-Pagan. Everything above this applies and beyond a basic Christian foundation, though, our beliefs vary just as much as our individual spiritual paths within our community.
""Trinitarians are more like Grey Witches because initially Christianity was the Way, an off-shoot of Paganism that focused solely on the God in answer to Dianic Witchraft focusing solely on the Goddess, because Trinitarians combine the original teachings of the Way and the teachings of Christ, they sit between Dianic Witchraft (or Paganism in its "truest form") and Christianity as humanity knows it today.
Thus, Trinitarians are more closely related to Grey Witches or Greywalkers in that they are a very reclusive, very secluded, very secretive Tradition and are often ostracized by the whole of Paganism and Christianity because they ride the coin that connects good and evil.""
People find it strange that I'm into everything I am and still have the "gall "to call myself a Christian well I have something to say to that. There is a motto, "Don't be so heavenly minded that you are of no earthly good." I agree, because there is a danger in spirituality that isolates. Next, Jesus said that believers may not be "of this world" but, they are certainly "in it." Jesus, as spiritual as he was, did not separate himself from the secular world. Despite his Orthodox Jewishness (spirituality) he hung with non-Jews, with the dreaded Samaritans, with whores, with sell-out Jewish tax collectors, with radical zealot terrorists, with the diseased, impoverished and the very wealthy. He told stories to the masses that revolutionized the material and secular universe on hill tops (the mass media of the day). It is a known fact that Jesus' worst enemies were the self righteous G-rated do-gooders of his time. He spent little time with them. So why should I do anything different then himself? The traditional model of how we "do church" is very wrong to me and it's strangling Christ's Body. I know I am outspoken but it's who I am. I also don't claim to be the best Christian in the world but I try to follow what God has planned for me.

Vessel Bags: Customize your golf bag like the touring pros
Series: Golf Buzz
Published: Thursday, October 17, 2013 | 10:02 a.m.
The holidays are sneaking up on us -- as the always do. Are you looking to find a great gift for the special golfer in your life?
We have a suggestion for you that's sure to be a hit: a 100 percent customized golf bag.
Until now, you may not have heard of a company called Vessel Bags, but you've surely seen their work. Watch any kind of Tour event and their bags are impossible to miss. Many of the customized bags used by tournament professionals -- the ones adorned with sponsor logos and more -- are Vessel Bags.
RELATED: MannKrafted Milled Putters -- the ultimate in putter customization
Now, you can have your very own.
We know what you're thinking: Why would I want a bag with a company logo on it?
Good question. And the answer is, you don't have to have a bag with a company logo on it. With Vessel Bags, you can literally have anything you want on the bag -- your name, a symbol, a flag, an image, a saying -- the possibilities are endless.
And if you want a personalized bag, but have no idea what to put on it, Vessel's customer service can come to the rescue:
"Our goal and dream is to design and create the most unique bag with you and for you. At Vessel, we believe that we are all uniquely made. Let us help you express your uniqueness through the accessories you carry on the golf course. Make a bag unlike any other bag out there. If our customizer is not unique enough for you, please send us brief information on what you would like to achieve and we will contact you and design a bag for you that's on a whole 'nother level."
Watch the video below to see what goes in to creating a one-of-a-kind Vessel bag:
Before contacting customer service though, you'll want to try out Vessel's cool, easy-to-use bag customizer application on www.vesselbags.com. First, you choose between four bag-type options -- three full-sized "staff" bags that start from $650; or the company's "Player," lightweight, stand bag that starts at $350.
Once your bag is selected, that's when the fun starts. With all kinds of different color swatches, you simply click the color and where you'd like it to appear on the bag. You can even choose the zipper color you desire.
With the color scheme locked in, you can move on to more customization. You can add text and images anywhere on the bag. If there's something you'd like on the bag, but can't find, that's when Vessel can step in and help.
The high-quality materials used to make a Vessel bag insure that it will be usable for years to come. So, while the price is certainly higher than a standard bag, keep in mind that Vessel's are completely personalized just for you.
And as if the bag customization wasn't enough, Vessel can also customize headcovers to match your bag.
After placing your order, Vessel bags ship in as little as two weeks.
To learn more about Vessel, visit www.vesselbags.com. You can also find Vessel on Facebook or on Twitter, @vesselbags.
UPDATE: Vessel has been kind enough to offer a 15 percent discount to PGA.com readers good through the end of 2013. Just enter "PGA15" at checkout to get the discount.

Building safer and more inclusive environments by training healthcare providers and educators about gender diversity.
Life gets busy, we get it. Join our mailing list, we will let you know about upcoming events and projects that we are contributing to.
Our mission is to build safer and more inclusive environments by training and consulting with healthcare professionals, employers, parents and educators about gender diversity. We work to unravel preconceived notions of gender by empowering participants to relate to gender non-conforming individuals and their families with empathy, affirmation, and respect.
ReLearn offers immersive, interactive trainings that enable participants to better address the needs of gender diverse and transgender populations. ReLearn utilizes cutting-edge research to inform our instruction on best practices for educators as well as health care providers.
The transgender community faces several major health disparities, including an increased risk for self-injurious behaviors. However, we also know that the negative impacts stemming from discrimination and oppression are preventable with appropriate training as transgender allies.
ReLearn highlights the "T" in LGBT, focusing on gender identity, gender expression, and how traditional gender roles affect and limit all people. Our workshops include utilization of current information on best practices for working with transgender clients in health care, professional, and educational settings.

"These two presenters have such a depth and breadth of knowledge on the subject! There was not a question they could not answer therefore we were able to explore the topic in depth.

People Sharing Ideas Inc and TEDxDarwin congratulate Mr Michael Gunner and Ms Lauren Moss on their election to the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. Both Michael and Lauren have been a part of TEDxDarwin, Michael as one of the original organising committee and Lauren as a TEDxDarwin speaker.
Below are some extracts from Mr Gunner's statements in the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly in 2011.
Extract from Eleventh Assembly, First Session, 11 August 2011, Parliamentary Record No. 21:
Mr Gunner (Fannie Bay): … On the weekend, the inaugural TEDxDarwin was hosted at the museum. TED is based on the principle of ideas worth spreading, and TEDx events are local and independently driven. They provide an opportunity for passionate and inspired people to get together and share their ideas. Many people love TED. If you do not know about TED check out TED.com. There are over 900 videos on the site. I always recommend people start with Hans Rosling, one the best speeches; however, there are many things that are creative and inspirational – of people who get out there and do things.
There are many people in Darwin who love the passion, the creative thinking, and the new solutions to old problems you can find on TED.com. They also believe the Territory is a place with plenty of people with great ideas worth spreading, so a few of them have got together and made TEDxDarwin a reality. Jason and [Caryn] Schoolmeester, Ben Gill, Noel Hanssens and Nicholas McGrath did not talk about it, they did it. As a result, on the weekend we saw many passionate people get together and learn, from Chris Garner, about the approach of Marrara Christian School to Indigenous education. The school has seen Year 12 graduation rates go from 2% to 98%. Chris is one of those great Territory stories, born in Scotland and arrived here via England, South Africa and New Zealand. He met his wife here, they are happily married and living in Karama and are not going anywhere.
There was more at TEDxDarwin – Matt Cornell and his journey; Adam Voigt and what he has done with the community to get Rosebery Primary off the ground; how Bindy Isis has made lifting the foot a personal philosophy, Kia Shan finding a way to engage youth, and Caroline in supporting parents and much more.
TEDxDarwin was diverse, inspirational, positive and local. Like everyone else there, I left reaffirmed about the direction of the Territory and the people we have working towards our future.
There are countless examples of the boundless energy of Territorians and their ability to get out and do things. That is why it is a great place to live, and will be an even better place in the future. We have a strong sense of community, and that is not lost as we grow.
Extract from Eleventh Assembly, First Session, 18 August 2011, Parliamentary Record No. 21:
Mr Gunner (Fannie Bay): … I spoke about this in the House, last week; several weeks ago I attended the TEDxDarwin conference – ted.com, if members are not aware of it, is a powerful website. It is a place where people can share ideas, spread ideas worth sharing. The conference did not have an education theme, but several people who spoke at the conference were from an education background and they spoke about things they were doing in education and it was very interesting.
One was Adam Voigt, who has been in the paper recently because of Rosebery Primary School and its approach to homework. He spoke about how, as a school, they spoke to the parent community, looked at the data – he talked a lot about data – he believes in making decisions based on data and they looked at what they thought homework delivered. He summed it up, as you can often do, that he made his decision on research and data. He summed it up by saying he felt, generically, homework delivered three things; stress to children, late nights for parents, and no discernable outcomes necessarily education-wise. He said you do not necessarily get a benefit out of making a papier-mâché volcano at 11 pm. There is more to homework than that. As kids, everyone hated homework. There were definitely times I did homework that I thought was helpful. There are maths problems you need to spend time on outside the classroom. There definitely can be a place for it in education.
It is always interesting to see people take a fresh approach to situations because often it is about the outcome you achieve. You always have to remember you do not go through the process for the sake of the process. He took a fresh approach to something at Rosebery and he promised the parent group he would deliver students with the same outcomes as if they were getting the homework. He made that commitment, and that is what they are working towards. It is an interesting, exciting approach to education.
Another person who spoke at the conference was Chris Garner from Marrara Christian College. He spoke about how they deal with their Indigenous students in Year 11 and 12. They took a step back because their graduation rate was at 2%. They said: 'That is not good enough. We are obviously doing something wrong; we need to do something different. What can we do?' They decided to take a path of a three-week induction in Year 11, where they sat down and talked with their students about where they came from, their expectations, their families' expectations, what type of environment they would be returning to, and what they wanted to achieve. They introduced themselves and sat down for three weeks and, at the end of that, they tailored a program for those students for the next two years. The program delivered an outcome that obviously met the core criteria they needed to meet for Years 11 and 12 and, more importantly in many ways, delivered an outcome that was going to get that student something after high school. They turned their graduation rate around from 2% to 98%, which is an extraordinary outcome.
I have spoken to the minister's office about that to find out if we are talking with them. There are lessons there for us. Sometimes, in the public system you have to do things differently to what a single school might do. We are talking to them about what they are doing and how to apply it. That is an interesting approach, and we should look at anything that achieves good outcomes. That is another way of looking with fresh eyes at an old problem.

Die Specifications:
- Compatible Fabric Cutter: Studio Fabric Cutter (AQ50800) and Bullseye Hexagons-1"-7" Finished Sides for Studio (AQ50362)
- Compatible with: Bullseye Hexagons-1"-7" Finished Sides for Studio (AQ50362)
- Recommended Studio Cutting Plastics: Jumbo (10" x 12") (AQ60002) and Mini, Small, Large (5" x 6") (AQ60000)
- Triangle sizes included in set: 1", 3", 5", 7" (Triangles measured by finished sides)
How to Cut Equilateral Triangles:
- Select triangle size.
- Take the blade board that corresponds with the triangle size you wish to cut.
- Place the blade board in your Studio die tray, FOAM SIDE UP. For most accurate cuts, arrange the triangle dies in the corner of the cutting tray, at a slight angle with the die touching two sides of the tray and the notches facing the roller.
- Take the inner foam boards and fill in the center of the blade board.
- Take the foam board that is one size larger than your blade board and place it as the outer ring.
- Apply fusible web if desired. Layer or fanfold your fabric. You can cut up to 10 layers of 100% cotton fabric at a time.
- TIPS: Fusible web counts as one half layer of fabric. Remember to position the fabric on the lengthwise grain, with the selvage edge towards the Studio handle, as it goes under the roller.
- Place your Studio Cutting Plastic on top.
- Roll through the Studio Fabric Cutter.
Die Tips:
- For most accurate cuts, arrange the dies in the corner of the cutting tray.
- With some fabrics, after cutting, a thread or two will remain where die blades meet. Snip threads with scissors.
- For best results, cut with die blades running under roller at an angle. Do not cut with blades parallel to roller.
- Blades on some dies are positioned at an angle. Align fabric to edge of shape, not edge of die board.
- For fast applique, apply fusible web to fabrics, then cut shapes with dies.
- Use good quality fabric to reduce fabric stretch.
- It's always a good idea to test cut one shape before cutting many shapes to ensure fabric orientation is correct.
Care & Maintenance: Use adhesive roller to clean lint and thread from dies. After each use, with the die pick provided with the cutter, remove any threads imbedded between blades and foam. It's normal for threads to get caught where blades meet in a die. Remove with tweezers or die pick. Die blades never need to be sharpened.
Warranty: AccuQuilt Bullseye Dies for Studio dies are guaranteed for one year.

LANSING, Mich. (9/10/13, UPDATED 10:50 a.m. CT)--U.S. Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) offered credit unions a powerful endorsement when he released a statement saying he supports credit unions as Congress begins negotiations for tax code reform. The announcement was made by the Michigan Credit Union League on #DontTaxTuesday.
With Amash's statement, every member of the Michigan congressional delegation has issued a statement that either directly supports the credit union tax exemption or expresses general support for the credit union industry.
"I'm not in favor of increasing taxes or imposing unnecessary regulations," Amash said. "Achieving solid economic growth and expanded opportunity for all Americans means reducing government's burdens on the institutions that serve them. Financial entities like credit unions provide important services like being reliable places to deposit money and helping individuals and families afford the necessities of life."
Michigan Credit Union League CEO David Adams thanked Amash for his support.
"This very strong statement from Congressman Amash reinforces the high level of bi-partisan support that credit unions and their members have within the Michigan congressional delegation," Adams said. "We now have unanimous support from all 14 members of the House delegation as well as from our two U.S. senators. The credit union community should let all Michigan lawmakers know how much we appreciate their support as broad-based tax reform continues with this Congress."
Adams thanked the Battle Creek Chapter for hosting a meeting with Amash at Kellogg Community FCU, Battle Creek.
"This kind of grassroots advocacy is responsible for the unanimous support from our delegation in Michigan," Adams said.
While all of the credit union movement's current federal legislative issues were discussed, credit union leaders spent most of the time discussing the importance of the credit union tax exemption and the challenges faced with the new regulatory requirements.
Representatives from Kellogg Community FCU; United Educational CU, Battle Creek; OMNI Community CU, Battle Creek; Marshall (Mich.) Community CU, and Lake Trust CU, Lansing, communicated the need to support the credit union tax exemption and regulatory relief. Sixteen credit union leaders participated in the discussion.

Until recently, Evernote offered two subscription levels: Free and Premium. But they've changed things up with a new level and changes to the original Premium subscription.
Evernote's marketing VP Andrew Sinkov says "Premium models are tricky". So, they've added a new "Evernote Plus tier. Here's how the new pricing works.
Evernote Basic is the free, starter option. It lacks features such as business card recognition and the ability to email information straight to your Evernote library but will get you started.
Evernote Plus costs US$2.99 per month or US$24.99 per year. It includes 1GB monthly uploads, offline access to notes on mobile, passcode lock, and the ability to automatically turn emails into notes in Evernote.
Evernote Premium costs US$5.99 per month or US$49.99 per year It's been upgraded to support unlimited uploads – the old Pro version was limited to 4GB per month – and larger individual note sizes because having all aspects of your projects together in one place is key.
Existing customers with a paid Evernote subscription will automatically be shifted to the Premium subscription.
We all love free software but many software developers are discovering the only way to remain in business is to generate revenue. That means there are times when really useful free products either disappear or move towards subscription models.
Evernote has had a paid version for some time. But clearly the price has not attracted enough paying customers. By creating a new, lower cost entry point and removing some functions from the free version they're hoping to entice customers to part with some cash.
We hope this works as Evernote is an essential tool for our workflow. We've been happily paying for the Premium version for some time and will continue to do so.

Ok, so I have been wanting to try this for awhile, but most of the instructions that I had pinned said to use rubbing alcohol so I was a bit put off by having to buy something else. But never fear…I found an alternative and it works!
Just for Daisy was my inspiration for this week. So here goes…
I used just cheapie rice and my Wilton gel colours so they would be nice and vibrant. And then you just need vinegar!
I started off adding the gel to the bag with a toothpick, and added some vinegar in also.
It kind of worked, but wasn't as vibrant as I had hoped. It was also a bit of a pain to shake the ziplock bag, and Princess Peanut didn't really have any interest in doing so past 5 seconds or so! 😉 So I found a container that made the shaking easier.
Then I thought, what if I coloured the vingear with the food colouring and THEN added the rice.
So much better!! I did two colours at a time and while they were baking I mixed the next two colours.
Ooh soo pretty! Ready to play.
I gathered up some containers so that Princess Peanut could scoop, fill and pour. It seems they alone were rather enticing and she couldn't keep her hands off them (mind you they are always in her reach on her shelf to play with).
We added some spoons for stirring.
Pretty rice – I LOVE the rainbow colours!!
Princess Peanut having a quiet moment stirring her rice.
Oops! There's a bit of a mess Mumma!
Hehe – how about I just spread out that mess for you a bit!
A quick sweep with a brush and dustpan, and a vacuum to get the last bits up and it was all cleaned up.
Verdict: The colours ended up really vibrant! It did take a while to prepare (with the colouring, baking, cooling) so we did it over two days. Princess Peanut spent a good 15 or 20 minutes exploring and playing with the rice. I did notice that some grains of the rice were a bit crumbly, so I'm not sure if I over-cooked it or not. Otherwise it's all sitting in a container ready for another day of play.
Some other inspiration:

Toronto, ON — The Law Society of Upper Canada expresses grave concern about the harassment and intimidation of lawyer Michel Togué in Cameroon.
Michel Togué is a human rights lawyer who defends clients charged with homosexuality in Cameroon, where consensual same-sex conduct is criminalized and subject to a maximum prison sentence of five years. In March 2017, he was awarded the Dutch Geuzenpenning Award for his work and advocacy on behalf of the LGBT community in his country.
It has come to the Law Society's attention that in early 2017, Michel Togué received multiple death threats as a result of his legal work on behalf of individuals who identify as LGBT. Reports indicate that when he subsequently approached Cameroon's Lawyer's Association for assistance, its president advised Michel Togué: "Stop defending the LGBT community and you won't have problems anymore." Similarly, his request for protection was denied by Cameroonian police.
Michel Togué, along with his wife and children, first began receiving death threats in the form of emails and text messages in October 2012. As the death threats against him and his family escalated, his wife and children sought asylum in the United States. Michel Togué, however, chose to remain in Cameroon to continue his work with the LGBT community.
In light of these circumstances, the Law Society urges the Government of Cameroon to comply with Cameroon's obligations under international human rights laws, including the United Nations' Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers.
Article 16 of the Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers states:
Governments shall ensure that lawyers (a) are able to perform all of their professional functions without intimidation, hindrance, harassment or improper interference; (b) are able to travel and to consult with their clients freely both within their own country and abroad; and (c) shall not suffer, or be threatened with, prosecution or administrative, economics or other sanctions for any action taken in accordance with recognized professional duties, standards and ethics.
Article 17 states:
Where the security of lawyers is threatened as a result of discharging their functions, they shall be adequately safeguarded by the authorities.
Article 18 states:
Lawyers shall not be identified with their clients or their clients' causes as a result of discharging their functions.
Furthermore, Article 23 provides:
Lawyers like other citizens are entitled to freedom of expression, belief, association and assembly. In particular, they shall have the right to take part in public discussion of matters concerning the law, the administration of justice and the promotion and protection of human rights and to join or form local, national or international organizations and attend their meetings, without suffering professional restrictions by reason of their lawful action or their membership in a lawful organization.
The Law Society urges the Government of Cameroon to:
*The Law Society of Upper Canada is the governing body for more than 50,000 lawyers and 8,000 paralegals in the province of Ontario, Canada. The Treasurer is the head of the Law Society. The mandate of the Law Society is to govern the legal profession in the public interest by upholding the independence, integrity and honour of the legal profession for the purpose of advancing the cause of justice and the rule of law.

I woke up early yesterday morning and as I pulled the curtains open, I noticed how still it was outside with only the slightest breeze which could be seen in the highest trees. The sun was out and it looked like it would be a glorious morning. I packed my camera into my bag and set off for Charlecote Park. One of the advantages of being a volunteer at Charlecote is that I can walk around the park before it is open to visitors.
It is a totally different experience to walk around exploring the gardens when the park is closed. It is so quiet and you feel a little like the Park is all yours. Well, just for a little anyway. I have mentioned before that I dream a lot :) Places like these are made to dream in. I am sure many people wonder what it would have been like to be the lady of the Manor or even the lord strolling through the house and gardens in their fine clothes. The ladies in their beautiful expensive long dresses, holding a lace parasol to protect their fair skin.
People visit properties like Charlecote Park for many reasons. Some because like me, have a love of history, others just for a day out and a place for children to burn off their energy but some love to see how the 'other half live'. There are many reasons for people's visits but everyone loves to explore be it the house, gardens or the rest of the estate.
Yesterday I was out for a quiet walk but also on a bit of a mission. The gardens are constantly changing and I am trying to record how they change through the year and catch the beautiful arrays of colour before they fade and the next ones bloom. Unfortunately, ideal weather days don't always coincide with days I can escape but yesterday morning was perfect and I was free to explore.
As I walked under the arch of the stables into the main courtyard where the tea gardens are, I spotted Dodo, Charlecote Park's cat enjoying the morning sun. A little attention is a must when you see this cat because it is so friendly and so tiny compared to my big cats at home.
I have two Russian Blues cats myself. We originally had three cats all from the same litter because I could not bear to separate them and they were so close and so cute. All the other kittens in the litter were happily exploring on their own but these three were all snuggled up together and have never changed. The two boys are very big cats, they are a lot longer than your average cat and also a lot heavier.
When I first picked Dodo up I could not believe how tiny and light he was in comparison to my cats. I used to call mine the 'three wise monkeys'. They might be big cats but they are the gentlest I have ever known. Ideal family cats. I have to apologise in how I go off track a little with my writings. I write my blogs as the words come into my head so sometimes like a real conversation, it goes off track.
Our three wise monkeys not long after we got them playing football. Sasha, Blue and Smokie. Yes I am a cat person :)
8 years later. This is Blue.
The Tea Gardens are looking very colourful at the moment. There are many different types of dahlias growing there as well as in the long border that runs along side the Woodland Garden. Dahlias are such perfect flowers and one I know well as my Grandfather's garden would be full of them through the summer months. They bloom beautifully until the first frost and also look so perfect.
Some of the flowers have water drops on them as the gardens were just being watered as I arrived.
Such a perfect flower. This next one is like red velvet material.
Some of the beautiful flowers at the back of the house close to the river in the Parterre. I like to sit on the steps here sometimes, just watch the wildlife go swimming by. With the Park being a little busier at the moment you can often spot the deer on the other side of the river on Camp Ground as well as the cattle.
If I am correct, these are the 'Creamy Vanilla African Marigolds' also a very perfect flower which has a much bigger head than your average marigold.
It looks like a frilly petticoat from the old days.
Such a beautiful morning for a lovely walk with the sun shining and the smell of all these beautiful flowers. Perfect!
These are beautiful flowers. They are 'Argyranthemum Maderia' and the 'Cherry Red' variety.
I used to grow these flowers called Gazania in my old garden. I love the way the go to sleep each night.
Then open up every morning as the sunrises.
This next plant is the Cineraria "silver dust" and it gives the appearance of frost.
Remember how the the Monarde Didyam looked in July?
This is how they look now. It looks like a very different flower. This flower can be found around the croquet lawn and also in the Tea gardens.
The Cosmos is always a pretty flower to have in a border and one I often have growing in my garden. It comes in a variety of colours and is very easy to grow. This flower is often found in cottage gardens and is one of my favourite flowers.
Gladiolus which is sometimes called the 'Sword Lily'
The Sun was a little bright for this next photo but I still added it anyway as I love the selection of colours.
A busy bumblebee on a Cosmos flower.
The colourful borders around the croquet lawn.
This next flower which I found in yellow and pink is also from the Dahlia family and it called the 'Honka Yellow' The yellow one looks like the Sun but also a perfect star with it's long slender petals.
The Dahlia 'honka pink'
This next plant I really like as I love the deep colours and I have seen it at Upton House as well as Charlecote Park. It is called the 'Cleome Hassleraine' which is commonly known as 'Spider Flower' and originally came from South Africa.
Sedum 'Autumn Joy' is a perennial plant which flowers in August and changes to a copper colour as autumn sets in.
Goldenrod also known as Solidago. This plant attracts honey bees and butterflies also love it.
The long border down the side of the woodland garden.
This Sedum 'Autumn Joy , still in bud in some areas of the park and has water droplets on it.
The Comma Butterfly
The pathways are full of flowers with lots of insect activity going on especially from the honey bees.
A busy honey bee.
Anemone x hybrida " September charm" is growing so well but then everything is this year with the higher temperatures and all the rain we have had. We had a good few months of weather but August feels a little more like late September at the moment with temperatures dropping. Feels like Autumn is on its way.
The Buddleia "davidii" with it's thousand miniature flowers also known as Summer Lilac and the more popular name of the Butterfly bush which as it's name implies, the butterflies love!
Gaura "passionate pink"
The Aconitum that weaves beautifully through the Anemone in the Woodland garden. I love the way they complement each other.
I love the rusty red of the new leaves on this plant. Sometimes you can get a real mix of shades. Beautiful Autumn colours in the middle of Summer.
There are a few different colours of fuchsias behind the summer house. This is often an area people miss as they walk down the long border but it is worth stopping to have a look. There is always a colourful display there, both in the pots and the small borders.
Yellow begonia in the pots.
The Orchard is also full of fruit. I wasn't sure how well these trees would do as they spent much of the Winter under water due to floods . Some of the trees are not doing as well as others but some are full of fruit and there are many different types of apples.
Thanks for reading my blog and a big thanks to Paul (Head Gardener at Charlecote Park) and all his team (staff and volunteers) for the lovely display of flowers I enjoyed on my walk. They are all beautiful.

Music by
Keith Sanford
Hope and Tears
A song about the Trail of Tears in the winter of 1838
Hope and Tears
by Keith Sanford
On the trail I hear them weeping.
But, I hope in a song to be sung like a savior that says:
Heavy bags upon her shoulders.
But, I hope in a song to be sung like a savior that says:
Like a glimmer in the darkness,
And, I hope in a song to be sung like a savior that says:
The people of the Cherokee Nation made many concessions to keep peace with the United States, and they were viewed as one of the Five Civilized Tribes. But, a previous treaty had placed them on land in present day Georgia that turned out to be valuable farmland. So, the old treaty was nullified, and the Cherokee were moved to detention camps and then forced to march to Oklahoma. Due to harsh conditions, several thousand people died along the way.
A song celebrating human diversity
by Keith Sanford
I want to hear the heartbeat pushing life into the earth
In the news and in events throughout history, there are many situations where one group of people acts with prejudice against another group. It appears that it is natural for people to be drawn toward ways of thinking that affirm their own superiority and that cast judgment on others who seem different. This raises a question. How can we better embrace human diversity, and can we do this in a way that is positive, and not merely casting judgment on others for being judgmental? Maybe, we can do this, in part, by drawing from a wonderful human capability. That is, we have the capability to learn about other people and to understand their stories, their experiences, and the reasons why they do what they do.
We Bought It
A song about the history of the Panama Canal
We Bought It
by Keith Sanford
Traveling down from Panama to a giant ditch
We bought it and we built it. Now it belongs to us
Then there was malaria all across the land
We bought it and we built it. Now it belongs to us
Some may want to justify, and they want to know
We bought it and we built it. Now it belongs to us
When talking about the Panama Canal, a famous politician said many years ago: "We bought it, we paid for it, we built it, and we intend to keep it." Because this statement is packed with poetic punch, and because it seems to epitomize a kind of sanctimonious, self-serving claim about what defines fairness and justice, I decided that it needed to be used in a song. So, I wrote this song about the history of the Panama Canal.
Who Will Weep?
A lament for refugees aboard the St. Louis fleeing Germany in 1939
Who Will Weep?
by Keith Sanford
Beyond a night of broken glass
Now children beg in a market place
A quota-system law that stands
Now children beg in a market place
Now, hear the sounds of refugees
Now children beg in a market place
In 1939, the ocean liner St. Louis sailed a few miles off the coast of Florida with more than 900 Jewish refugees on board fleeing from Germany. Due to a recently enacted quota system, the United states strictly limited the number of refugees it would accept, and eventually, the ship was forced to return to Europe. Many passengers later perished in the Holocaust. ("We sang a dirge and you did not weep.")
Can't be Named
A song inspired by 1962 Supreme Court ruling about prayers in schools
Can't be Named
by Keith Sanford
For moral and for spiritual, for training in the schools
But, something wonderful is dancing just like a flame.
Some want an inquisition, and others want to shun
But, something wonderful is dancing just like a flame.
I heard about a still small voice that whispered in the wind
And, something wonderful is dancing just like a flame.
In the early Fifties, the New York Board of Regents issued a statement on "Moral and Spiritual Training in the Schools," and they composed a short prayer for children to recite at the beginning of each school day. Within religious communities, some may have thought the regents acted with divine authority, correctly discerning the ways in which children should pray. Others may have viewed the prescribed prayer as a biased and authoritative claim to truth that ignored the beauty, diversity, and mystery of religious experience. In 1962, the Supreme Court ruled that the use of this prayer in the public-school system was unconstitutional, and subsequently, there have been many decades of political debate regarding prayers in schools. This song is one that I wrote drawing several images from this story.
A song about and finding things that are beautiful
by Keith Sanford
Forests and rivers, glaciers and oceans
One of my favorite questions to ponder is how we determine when things are good or beautiful. Is something beautiful merely because people think it is so? If this is the case, then any act of hate or violence would have the potential to be labeled "beautiful" if people perceive it that way. Surely, this would make the world seem cruel and cold (and maybe it is). Or, maybe, just maybe, there is another type of beauty, something that would be good and beautiful regardless of what humans say or think. This is a type of beauty that cannot be defined using scientific method, although it is often revealed in scientific discovery. It is a type of beauty that we can seek and perceive, but that will not disappear or change even if we fail to notice it or fail to understand it.

Why I Will Never, Ever, EVER Get a Tattoo
Would I have to start planning outfits around the tattoo like I plan for weather?
Inspired in part by Gabi's Grown-Ass Lady Apartment DIY article yesterday, I bring you today's Open Thread. Let's talk aboutsmall, easy, quick, and/or cheap changes, fixes or upgrades you've made in your home that have made a big difference in your Home Satisfaction Factor™.
I'll begin. This cheapy Ikea dresser cost me $99 and has served me pretty well despite the fact that I put it together wrong and there's a backwards particle-board-exposing piece. This is dumb, but I still haven't fixed that with some white paint. I know. I just don't think it looks that bad.
Moving on to the point, the black plastic knobs it came with kept screwing out with daily use and just didn't look or feel awesome. I upgraded my humble Hemnes with these treated seashell drawer pulls I picked up down the Jersey Shore a few weeks ago. They were $8 each (which is undeniably highway robbery), but I love them and the gimmicky seaside shop I bought them at was magical to me.
And this is what I'm talking about. This was an easy, under $50 change, and every time I look at my dresser I get happy, and reflect fondly on the really fun and relaxing girls' weekend I had the Shore.
Tell me: What tiny changes have you made to your home or to a piece of furniture that have made you feel super satisfied or happier?

30 Questions is a quite difficult minigame which require great knowledge about the history of Minecraft Pocket Edition, including updates reaching as back back as 0.8.0. But it doesn't matter if you consider yourself a true expert of the game or not because it's still a great way to learn more about the game in quiz styled map.
Once you've spawned in-game you will have to press some buttons to get to the actual minigame. In total there are 30 questions to be answered and you have to answer them quickly because otherwise you will die and have to start over.
The questions are split up on multiple stages which are themed differently, e.g. questions about biomes, ores and so on, but they are always related to Minecraft Pocket Edition.

In a learning centred school, the built environment frames the provision of space for learning and teaching, collaboration and delivery of specialised services. It is conducive to quality learning outcomes.
Leaders in Catholic schools thoughtfully assess the built environment and its capacity to provide engaging, adaptable learning spaces.
Every school needs to develop a considered Facility and Infrastructure Master Plan to ensure contemporary learning spaces are developed to support the school's educational aims and to inspire new generations of students and teachers.
To fully realise the goal of developing contemporary learning spaces, careful and practical assessment of existing building conditions, building suitability and type, available space, built form, environmental sustainability, furniture, equipment and technological infrastructure, is needed.
When developing the Master Plan, consideration of the physical environment surrounding the school, such as adjacent parish and community facilities, landscaped and outdoor areas and places of interest, and community connection to the school is important.
Changes associated with the development of a global, knowledge-based world, together with a growing understanding of how people learn have shifted the focus of education. The physical spaces must reflect this new understanding if the quality of learning is to be improved.
The learning spaces of a contemporary school need to:
In addition to the design, layout and connection of spaces the schools developing contemporary spaces should specifically consider the following factors.
The consideration of internal and external environmental elements is paramount. Planning for these features should happen at the start of the facility planning process. Spaces should:
The clever use of modern and unconventional furniture can transform seemingly inflexible learning spaces. The removal of walls together with excellent furniture and flexible movable partitioning can be a simple way to alter a learning space to better meet a contemporary pedagogy.
Many factors contribute to the overall performance of a building. Light, colour, glare, scale, texture and acoustics are important elements to consider.
Specialist Spaces
When designing traditional specialist spaces, consideration should be given to their integration into general learning areas. While this integration is not always possible, opportunities must be explored.
Technology is an important consideration in the delivery of learning and teaching and it needs to be seamlessly incorporated into learning spaces. Flexibility and capacity in the infrastructure is required to allow for emerging technologies. All possible appropriate existing technologies should be incorporated into the planning of the learning spaces.
It is appropriate and desirable to consider technology infrastructure requirements and needs when undertaking an overall facilities Master Plan.
Ultimately, learning spaces need to be customised to suit the resources and needs of any given school and be developed in line with each school's educational vision.

Frank DiMino – Old Habits Die Hard (2015)
Frank DiMino's 'Old Habits Die Hard' is a pleasant surprise for Angel fans, or anyone who likes melodic hard rock.
Frank DiMino's 'Old Habits Die Hard' is a pleasant surprise for Angel fans, or anyone who likes melodic hard rock.
As the bracing news of Yes bassist Chris Squire's serious illness continues to reverberate, we dig into a new take on one of his most brilliant performances.
I worried going into Sweet and Lynch's 'Only to Rise' about the way Michael Sweet and George Lynch would mesh. I shouldn't have.
Steve Porcaro's official return to Toto hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. An import bonus track from the upcoming 'Toto XIV' fixes that.
If you loved Toto before, this is a song that will speak to that passion. If you wondered whether they still had anything left, "Orphan" answers that, too.
Unbent by the years, DeYoung reclaims one of his best early Styx songs.
More often than not, Yes' 'Heaven and Earth' amounts to prog for the easy-listening set.
Could we possibly see … Ted Nugent for president?
Jon Davison says a lengthy period on the road smoothed the way for his first studio work with Yes.
While I've quite enjoyed most of Sebastian Bach's solo records, and 'Give 'Em Hell' is no exception, I voice the same annoyance with each one.
