|Education Bill
The Chairman: Order. Interventions should be brief.
4.45 pm
Chris Grayling: I thank the hon. Gentleman for that clarification. I appreciate that it is a fine dividing line, but children should be aware of the spiritual dimension in their education. The absence of that is regrettable in too many places in our society. I support the aspiration behind the amendment, but it is unnecessary to impose additional curriculum requirements in this case. To prove the diversity of opinion in my party, I beg to differ from my hon. Friend.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Wales (Mr. Don Touhig): This is the first opportunity I have had to welcome you to the Chair, Mr. Pike.
I understand the point of the hon. Member for Isle of Wight. I note that he said that the amendments were probing. My job is to assuage both his fears and those of the hon. Member for Harrogate and Knaresborough, which is the judgment of Solomon after what they have said.
Early years providers need some flexibility so that they can deliver their own curriculum in response to the needs of children, families and their communities. In that way, they will create an effective early learning
Column Number: 431environment and plan an appropriate curriculum. The curriculum guidance for foundation stage, which was published in May 2000, helps practitioners to provide such a curriculum, including support for education about religion, cultural beliefs and ceremonies. The early learning goals in England and the desirable outcomes in Wales set out those elements. The Bill will require all funded early years providers to support children to achieve early learning goals or desirable outcomes. That is central to our proposals for the foundation stage. I hope that that assuages the concerns of the hon. Member for Isle of Wight.
However, an essential part of our approach to the foundation stage is that it includes a strong element of flexibility. It is right that all early years settings should have the flexibility to respond to the needs of the different children in their care. To accept the amendments would put that flexibility at risk, by explicitly requiring local providers to use the locally agreed RE syllabus for schools.
Mr. Turner: Does the Minister agree that the Bill does not require them to use the locally agreed syllabus in settings? It does in schools, but it allows settings to provide such education as the provider considers appropriate.
Mr. Touhig: I take the hon. Gentleman's point. However, if we were to agree to the amendments, several providers would use the local RE syllabus as a basis on which they could deliver what the amendments require.
It is right that all early years settings should have flexibility to respond to the needs of the children. My position makes further prescription unnecessary, and is supported by the Liberal Democrats and some official Opposition Members. I hope that the hon. Member for Isle of Wight will feel sufficiently content to withdraw the amendments.
Mr. Turner: I congratulate the Minister on his bravery in trying to bridge the gap between myself and the hon. Member for Harrogate and Knaresborough. I would like to take a few points further.
Clause 75 makes it clear that the Secretary of State must secure that certain functions of the national curriculum, including religious education and worship, are provided in nursery classes. With the exception of nursery schools and funded nursery education, it makes it clear that those requirements apply to nursery classes in primary schools. If the hon. Member for Harrogate and Knaresborough felt so strongly about religious indoctrination, as he put it, in early years education, I am surprised that he did not table an amendment to delete the requirement.
I find it extraordinary that the hon. Gentleman described what I was saying as requiring the promotion of faith, because it does not. The promotion of faith may be one intention with which, for example, the Roman Catholic Church establishes a playgroup in association with a Roman Catholic primary school, but the point is about religious education. There is no gap between us on that. I do not see any danger of indoctrination in the valleys or other parts of the United Kingdom, but I worry that he does
Column Number: 432not seem to appreciate that, although the early learning goals and desirable outcomes do not specify a curriculum in detail, they specify some points about what the Secretary of State is putting a considerable amount of money into and the reasons why she is doing that.
I noted carefully the comments of the hon. Member for Harrogate and Knaresborough, but I am concerned that he is once again showing a certain hostility to religious education. The amendment would do no more than requiring all nursery schools and early years settings to do what the best dothat is not an unreasonable aspirationand give a basic understanding of, for example, the Christmas story, if they are in association with a Christian school or if there is no prevalent faith in that setting, or other stories where the provision is by another faith group.
In response to my hon. Friend the Member for Epsom and Ewell (Mr. Grayling), I accept that there is a danger of over-regulation of the early years system. Indeed, I said as much in a debate in Westminster Hall. However, the spiritual development of youngsters is one of the most important functions with which we can assist, and I am concerned about the conflict between an all-embracing, a la carte view of religious education, which is far more than youngsters of that age are usually capable of accepting, and a clear understanding of the faith in which they have been brought up or, if they have not been brought up in any faith, the prevalent faith in this country. That said, the Minister has succeeded, at least, in bridging the gap between him and me, although the hon. Member for Harrogate and Knaresborough is still perhaps a little way off. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Question proposed, That the clause stand part of the Bill.
Mrs. Laing: I should simply like to ask the Minister one swift question. The clause is concerned with interpretation and definition, and I have noted that the word ''maturities'' is used repeatedly throughout part 6. For example, one of the definitions in clause 72 reads:
The Under-Secretary scoffs, but the one thing on which we must agree is that the world and the DFES are full of jargon. We should not work in jargon but in phrases that people can understand. Those who have to interpret a Bill such as this, including those who teach or run education establishments, should be able to do so just by looking at it. I am willing to accept that the word ''ages'' would not necessarily fit into this
Column Number: 433description in place of ''maturities''. I do not suggest that it should, because I certainly accept that one child aged two years, five months and three weeks will not necessarily be at the same stage of development as another child of exactly the same age. I assume that to be the reason for the word ''maturities''. It is used not only in line 25 but repeatedly throughout part 6. I cannot tell from the Bill what it means. If others can, I should like to know. We deserve an explanation from the Minister about its exact meaning and why it is being used.
Mr. Touhig: In a previous incarnation as a councillor in Gwent, I once saw a report that described a pelican crossing as a pedestrian-assisted access way. We need to be careful about jargon and the words that we use. I take on board the point that the hon. Lady makes. The word ''maturities'' can cover a range of things, including age, ability and behaviour. As a father of four, I know that my children matured at different rates. It is quite a broad term. It is clear that children mature, by whatever target we set, at different times and at different ages. We are seeking to take account of that.
We are all on a steep learning curve in relation to early years learning. We place great importance on it, which is why we have the foundation stage. I have twin granddaughters who are eight. They are like little sponges. They take on board the most extraordinary things. We all find that as parents and grandparents, and see it in children in our schools. That is the broadest explanation that I can give the hon. Lady.
Mrs. Laing: I appreciate that the Minister has attempted to answer my question in a genuine way. I agree with everything he said. But how is that word, which is used again and again, to be interpreted? I did not table an amendment suggesting an alternative because I genuinely did not know what the Government meant by the term. Is the Bill to be read in conjunction with the Minister's words in Committee, or will the Government take steps to clarify to those who have to interpret the Bill what this word means?
Mr. Turner: I am intrigued by my hon. Friend's argument and by the Minister's answer. The word ''maturities'' in a physical context is relatively easy to understand, but in a developmental context, the word will be of great interest when we are considering the definition in clause 72 because we are looking at attainment targets. The definition as it applies in clause 72 suggests to me that different attainment targets will be set for pupils of different abilities and different developmental stages. Perhaps ''maturities'' means developmental stages in the psychological context?
I am very glad to see the word ''maturities'' if it means what my hon. Friend has suggested as it would give greater scope to the providers of education to take account of the different developmental ages of different pupils. Like my hon. Friend, however, I am still intrigued to hear further from the Minister.

This was not a conventional commission but was graciously agreed to by his Majesty, to have his announcement protecting hedgepigs from traps, or from being roasted in clay, put into writing.
(Lady Delia of Ely was looking after a baby hedgepig in the course of her work, and brought her to Battle of Brothers in July. Wee Horatia became the star attraction of the event, prompting His Majesty's merciful ruling, and Lady Delia will keep the scroll.)
The illumination, done first, is by Lady Agatha of Norwich.
Note that the prince of Insulae Draconis is looking after a pleased-looking lamb, ensuring its safety, while an unnamed knight from Nordmark is being carried off on his shield by two industrious sheep. Meanwhile Lady Delia is walking the hedgepigs in her care, with Horatia is safely tucked into her scrip.
My calligraphy is based on Bodley MS 264, a 14th c copy of Roman de la Rose, in French. It is what I'd call a 'high Gothic' copy, full of illuminations in the margins, with red, blue and gold borders, similar to the style Agatha had chosen for the decoration. It is definitely a quadrata hand, but without the crisp angles of some - there's still a smoothness in its curves which I really like. A nice example of one page to examine closely. The ampersand (the & symbol) for this MS is shaped like a modern numeral 7.
After a very informative class on quill cutting with Mistress Caitlin at 20 year in June, I'm resolved to do all the scrolls I can with quills, and this one is part of that resolution. Caitlin helped me correct my biggest mistakes and I can now get some good quills cut, but getting them the same nib width consistently will take more work.I still don't have the extremely thin strokes that quills can produce, but it's a very consistent result.
Before setting hand to the illuminated page, I blocked out the text on a test page, (copying the amount of space I'd have between the borders) and tested a couple of different line heights, before settling on my old friend 5mm, with extra 3mm? 4mm? space between the lines. Eventually I hope to be able to write between the lines, as the medieval scribes did, but I'm not there yet.
The text was drafted by Lord Nicholas, Rockall herald, with edits from Master Robert, Caversham herald to fit the space given.
Let the Will of His Majesty, Sven of Drachenwald, be heard heeded and obeyed across these lands.
It is His Majesty's desire that the humble hedgepig be given let and leave to live free unmolested and without fear of the trap and the clay.
And furthermore, it is the Will of the said Sven, King of Drachenwald, that the anniversary of the said Battle of Brothers, the thirteenth day of July, be henceforth remembered revered and celebrated as Hedgepig Day wheresoever his writ and rule may extend
And the said Sven doth encourage hope and desire all present and future Monarchs of this realm and their subject Princes, Viceroys, Barons and Lords, as undoubtedly they shall joyously faithfully and devoutly wish, to mark and observe Hedgepig Day its feast and holiday for ever hereafter, as long as man hath membrance.
And further should any subject be they lord or commoner err by disregarding this the Word of their Most Lawful Just and Merciful Sovereign King and in so doing harm any Hedgepig then by intercession of St Horatia and St Henry, may the feet of them and theirs be forever impaled on quills, their grapes rot upon the vine and their cropes be blighted by all manner Slugges and Snayles.
By His Word on the eve of Battle of Brothers in Depedene under Wychwood.

The information regarding the inquiry was only
brought to my attention on Thursday 18 January. Having considered
the scope of the inquiry, I felt it would be remiss of me not
to make contact with you to see if the committee could consider
the issues surrounding the depth of soil cover allowed over coffins.
This issue is a major problem facing burial authorities across
the country.
I was, until the end of last year, employed
by Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council. One of my duties
included the managerial responsibility of the councils cemeteries,
I had until my appointment with the Best Value Inspectorate of
the Audit Commission, been responsible for managing Local Authority
cemeteries for 18 years.
The legislation regarding the proper management
of cemeteries is contained in the Local Authority Cemeteries Order
of 1977, and this contains quite specific information regarding
the depth of burials, in part 1 of schedule 2, section 2.
During the time I was responsible for cemeteries
I was always very rigorous in my interpretation of the legislation
regarding the minimum depth of soil coverage which was available.
Only where the minimum cover of two feet of soil was available
to the surrounding ground level would I allow a burial to proceed.
In recent years, however it became more and
more obvious that other burial authorities were interpreting the
legislation in a different way to the way I believed the legislation
had been drafted.
The incidence of shallow graves does in my experience
crop up on several occasions each year within each authority,
and the problem causes considerable distress to the bereaved families
involved. Where there was insufficient room available within a
grave then the families were either offered a new grave or the
option to cremate and inter the ashes in the family grave.
Because undertakers working across the South
Wales area were aware that some authorities would allow such burials,
even if insufficient depth of soil coverage was not available,
they then complained most vociferously to those authorities who
would not allow burials to take place.
As it became clear that a major problem was
developing with regards to the interpretation of the legislation.
I asked the Home Office and Welsh Assembly to better clarify the
interpretation of the issues surrounding the depth of soil coverage
I also commissioned a report from the Institute
of Burial and Cremation to outline their views of the interpretation
of the legislation.
I attach copies of this correspondence and a
copy of the technical report to this submission. [39]
Having received the advice from the National
Assembly and also the Institute of Burial and Cremation, I was
then happy that my interpretation of the legislation was the correct
Following a further problem which occurred in
my former Authority, it was clear that this issue was still a
major problem in some authorities.
The Best Value requirement placed on Local Government
by the Local Government Act of 1999, requires Local Authorities
to compare their services with other service providers. In order
to develop the best value initiative, a cemetery benchmarking
group was set up in South Wales, this group consists of 18 Local
Authorities in Wales and the South West of England.
It therefore seemed appropriate for the question
of the depth of burials to be referred to the benchmarking group,
so that the issue could be further debated on a wider basis. The
issue was raised as an agenda item, and the background papers
attached were circulated to the members of the group.
At the meeting held in November each Local Authority
outlined how they treated the issue of shallow graves.
I would say that more than half of the Authorities
present at the meeting stick rigidly to the two feet of cover.
The remaining Authority's have chosen to interpret the legislation
in such a way that if there is insufficient space available they
then create a brick built chamber to accommodate the coffin and
after burial the chamber is then sealed by cementing a concrete
slab over the coffin.
In the case where a chamber has been created
then some of the Authorities will in some cases reduce the soil
cover down to three inches.
It is clear from the benchmarking meeting that
this issue is a major cause of concern not only to those Authorities
present at the meeting, but also in a national context.
I am also aware that some Authorities are being
sued on a regular basis because of this problem and I now feel
that the only way that this issue can be resolved is for the legislation
to be redrafted to give better clarity to Burial Authorities.
I would be grateful, therefore if the select
committee could further consider this issue as part of the inquiry.

Hello to all my friends and family!!
As most of you know I was diagnosed with Linear Scleroderma in 2009 when I was less than 2 years old. I have been one of the lucky patients and was able to kick Scleroderma in the BUTT!! I received aggressive treatment when I was first diagnosed and have not had to take any medications or treatment for the Scleroderma for a few years now. There is always a chance that it could flare back up again at any time. Some of my friends have not been as lucky as I was.
Since Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease I am more prone to have other autoimmune diseases. In 2015 I was also diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Celiac disease. I went through a lot of tests, and still have more to come. I will probably have to take thyroid medication the rest of my life. I also have to follow a strict gluten free diet; or I have a lot of tummy troubles.
I have kept a smile on my face through all of the problems I have had. My parents are very proud of the way I have handled the lifestyle changes I had to make.
I love to dance and play the piano!!
I would love to have a HUGE team join me at the 2016 walk this year. The Scleroderma Foundation has brought some of the best friends I have into my life over the last few years. If you can not join me for the walk donations are greatly appreciated. Please help find a cure for my friends and I who have been diagnosed with Scleroderma.
Thank you and much love!!

Monday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," host Joe Scarborough reacted to an attack on Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) from former President Bill Clinton, who was on the campaign trail for his wife Hillary Clinton describing Sanders as "madder" than Hillary Clinton.
Scarborough said such an attack made Bill Clinton sound like "a loser."
"You're damn right I'm angry and it — it was just a powerful moment for Bernie Sanders. I mean, Bill Clinton got the laugh lines, but, Sam Stein, you don't have to be a political expert to know who's in a better position there — the establishment candidate deriding the outsider for saying he's angry or the outsider that says, yeah, you know what? I am angry. It's like a softball pitch. I mean no disrespect to Bill Clinton, I really don't. And I'm not talking about him generally, but specifically in that scene when I hear those words coming out of a politician's mouth, I know I'm listening to a loser. I'm listening to somebody that is losing, that's saying, "oh, they've got better slogans, oh, they've got better this, oh, their polls may be a little higher now or, oh, they may be more angry. But –" I've heard that form of that speech a thousand times and it's never good for the one giving it."

One of the many reasons Facebook's share price has fallen substantially in the wake of the company's IPO is that investors are questioning whether the world's largest social network will be able to figure out how to make money from the rapidly growing number of users accessing Facebook through mobile devices.
But another future IPO candidate, Twitter, may have problems too but mobile monetization isn't apparently one.
According to Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, the popular microblogging service generated more revenue from its mobile users than its website users on many days in the first quarter of the year.
The revelation came from Costolo at an Economist Group conference in San Francisco:
We're born of mobile. We have an ad platform that already is inherently suited to mobile, even though we launched our platform on the Web and only started running ads on mobile recently.
That ad platform was launched earlier this year and inserts Promoted Tweets into the timelines of Twitter users accessing their accounts through the company's iOS and Android apps. It's a risky ad model for obvious user experience reasons, but apparently it's paying off for Twitter, which some recently predicted could hit $1bn in revenue in the coming years.
Right now, of course, Twitter's revenue is far lower than that; while the company doesn't disclose its financials, analysts estimate its revenue to be in the low nine-figure range.
That may be quite respectable for a company that hasn't been around a decade, but it's far less than, say, Facebook and perhaps not all that impressive for a company that counts some 140m active monthly users and has taken hundreds of millions of dollars in venture capital.
Which highlights the risk for Twitter if and when it decides to go public: it may be further along in figuring mobile monetization out thanks to the nature of its service, but the efficacy of the ads it's serving is still yet to be proven and questions around just how much revenue Twitter can generate in total may give investors pause.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Frank Kaminsky scored 23 points and No. 5 Wisconsin's athletic frontcourt overwhelmed Indiana in a 92-78 win on Tuesday night.
Kaminsky was 9 of 12 from the field for the Badgers (20-2, 8-1 Big Ten). Nigel Hayes added 16 points on 5-of-5 shooting.
Guard Bronson Koenig provided balance from the outside with 15 points, going 3 of 4 from 3-point range.
An eight-point halftime deficit turned into a 30-point deficit with 10 minutes left after Indiana (16-7, 6-4) opened the second half by shooting 2 of 11 from the field.
The Hoosiers also played without leading scorer James Blackmon Jr., who had an apparent ankle injury.
Nick Zeisloft led Indiana with 17 points.

Elijah Wood has laughed off rumours he has launched a career as a DJ modelled on his famous The Lord Of The Rings character.
The actor enjoys a sideline as a nightclub tune-spinner with his pal Zach Cowie, and recent reports suggested he has adopted the moniker 'DJ Frodo' as his stage name, inspired by his portrayal of Frodo Baggins in director Peter Jackson's fantasy trilogy.
However, Wood has now spoken out to clear up the rumours, insisting the idea of performing as DJ Frodo would make him cringe.
He tells British magazine Radar, "It's so funny. I don't know where that came from. I've never called myself DJ Frodo. I don't think I would ever call myself DJ Frodo."

"They are Completely Unprofessional. Have an unorthodox way of doing business. Who ever heard of a customer placing an order online, providing any and all information needed, only to have to speak to a representative, just to get your order shipped! It's ridiculous. Trying to call customer service is a mission in it's self and once you get through to them they are so rude."
Found this site through Google Product Search. It looked sketchy. The SSL certificate expired a little over 1 week ago. But I had dealt with sketchy importers before and found others to deliver despite the sketchiness and poor English. I thought maybe they were just a small business without the means to make a decent website. The price was good and they claimed to offer local pickup so I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt.
That was a mistake. Shortly after purchase I heard from my bank's fraud department. My card had been duplicated and was being used on the other side of the country. I searched online and apparently this is a common occurrence after shopping at Electroprise. It is ridiculous that this place is still online after so many years of fraud and abuse.
Note at that all the positive reviews found on any website are written in broken English. There is not one well-written positive review. This place does not deserve its 5/10 rating.
In addition to ExoticPhone.com (now defunct), the site "Best NY Depot" (bestnydepot.com) is also run by the same people. I found this from the mail headers from Electroprise communications:
Received-SPF: neutral (google.com: 22.214.171.124 is neither permitted nor denied by best guess record for domain of firstname.lastname@example.com) client-ip=22.214.171.124;
X-AntiAbuse: Primary Hostname - vps.bestnydepot.com
Whois for 22.214.171.124 reveals another alias "GSM International Telecom".
It does seem that these guys do the same sort of fraud from various domains."
"Just got my sony ericsson active. Their price is price is good...I wind paying tax though because I am in new york. But i think i still got a good deal. Other places the price is 20-30 dollars more. I did not have to pay for shipping cuz I picked up from the manhattan location. I did get a free screen protector which was great. I thought their customer is good and Jay helped me at the desk. The phone is awesome. Touchscreen is very quick to respond and the internet is surprisingly very fast. Shape is awesome. "
"For some reason I don't prefer to shop online, primarily because you cant really see what you getting. I know I'm bit old fashioned. i was travelling to UK and needed an lock phone cuz my tmobile wont work. so i typed up unlocked phone on google and saw electroprise. i saw they have physical location where i can pick up. they are also close to midtown of new york city and my apartment is nearby. so i decided to pay them a visit, i saw few unlocked phones and decided to go with samsung i9100. i saw the phone before. i asked them why is your phone price is so lower than other places. but i was convinced because the package was samsung sealed. so the transaction went smooth. would buy from them again. good prices. "
"Oh my God! I got my Nokia N9. amazing. I would say much better than 4S. So many applications and so many new features. Very thin with high definition video. Other awesome features. I am still playing with it. I think my early gift for this year. Electroprise was good. I paid for ground shipping and i got the next day....hahaa.. I guess I'm in new york as well. Customer service is good, jay helped me place the order. Definitely the price is really good. first i could not beleive it, i think i gotta good deal...i'm happy...oh PS> N9 has a gorilla glass so if I drop my phone it will not break unlike iphone where you have pay $130 to fix it. ...hate that ...happened to me twice with iphone 3G(s)....."
"bad customer service, the worth , i ordered 3 phones from them and paid for 2nd day shipping, 4 days later and the phones didn't arrive, when i called to see what's keeping my phones they told me it was back order (didn't say anything on my invoice).
i asked to speak with a manger , the sales person put me on hold and then drop the call.
this company is a fraud , do not buy from them."
"I purchased a BB Bold9700 from these people and immidiately became a disaster after 10 days of purchase. Phone stop coming on. I sent the phone back to them to get it replace or reprogramed. after 3 months later they sent the phone back with a letter that saying that can not be reprogrammed since the phone is refurbished by china and don't have any record of the phone in their data base. I was freaked out after hearing that from them. I cursed the hack out of them and tell him we won't be having business with you crazy people. I asked him immidiately then what is the imei # that was originaly sent to us? then he couldn't tell me what it is. He keeps saying that "I will let you know later on" I asked him "why can't you tell me right now when you are at your desk in front of the computer so check into your data base and tell me now."
He kept on repeating " I'll let you know later" They prolly deleted my invoice already...
He prolly was gonna make something up later on and tell me that I replace the phone with broken one... sneaky arabians...
I'll tell all my buddies in cellphone business that DO NOT buy from these people. They are really not reliable and have no after service. I just refunded $400 to my customer and now I gotta tell my boss what happened and I'm pissed off."
"I purchased a product and the next day i went to check if it shipped and it read (cancel). I never received an order confirmation or a cancelation notice. I called to check and they said it was not in stock. They never offered alternatives. Now a week later I checked my credit card and it was comprimised. Never again!!!"
"I got myself Apple iphone factory unlock. I was lucky enough to get my phone the very next day even though I paid for ground shipment. That is because I live in New Jersey and electroprise are from new york. I only requested Jay to ship the phone the same day. I was lucky and customer reps are pretty courteous and very replies to emails very quickly. I bought from them because i think they have one of the lowest price for this phone. I searched all over google. Price is definity key for my decision to buy this product from them. "
"BUYER BEWARE! BUYER BEWARE! COMPANY CHANGED THEIR WEBSITE Name from exoticphone to electroprise to make more buyers into fool. the company will charge your card and most likely will never ever send you products, and even they do, they wills end you a CHEAPER CHINESE VERSION OF THE PHONE, I got a run around for an exchange for 2.5 months,
1st they never take ur f** callS will not reply emails
FORGOT TO MENTION, THAT they hung up on me the minute htey knew its me, the phone was for my sister in law and it was a big embarrassement for me, so regardless i dont want anyone to be in my situation ever wtiht these crooks cheaters. changing web name will not change your luck, u loosers!"
"Do not buy from this company, they sell knock off, refurbished phones. This place is run by a crooked Bangladeshi named Jay. All the post you find online that praise the company are done by internal employees of the company. BUYER BEWARE, read the fine print on the site, restock fee for everything and all their phones do not come with a USA warranty!!!"
"My experience with these guys was good. I deal with Neo, he is a gentleman. There was little issue with color of my phone. I wanted a black one but they had silver one. Wind up getting the silver one but they gave me extra discount. I got additional discount from the coupon they posted on one fo the coupon websites. I want to buy sony ericsson arc from them. But it's going to be very pricy...let's see....I heard it's really nice phone. I will either get that or the samsung p1000 tab galaxy. "
"Purchased sony ericsson x10i. Price is good and shipping was pretty fast. I'm in New York so shipping was low for me. PHone is great and came with one year warranty from sony ericsson. Bought two year extended warranty. The phone is great. Much better than windows phone. Android phones are much better, dont' freez up. The phone it self is grea with friendly user. Touchscreen is awesome. supporse to buy the white one for my girlfriend on valentines, but ran out of cash. oh well, maybe next time (when I get married...lol)"

Reading about color is valuable and arranging swatches of fabric into color combinations is helpful, but it doesn't show the different hues that make up a specific color and explain why one swatch combination will look so much better than another that is only slightly different.
I hope to see you in sunny Long beach!
I would love to come, but it needs to be sunny Long Beach, Long Island, New York. Is that the Long Beach you will be in?
Susan from Brooklyn
oh dear, just clicked on the link to the international quilt festival. Wrong Long Beach for me, just a few thousand miles away. So disappointed.
So sorry Susan,
but if you know of a group that would like to book me to teach in your Long Beach, I'll be there! 🙂

Assume you're in the market for a new four-door sedan and are more concerned about the statement the car will make about you than what it costs.
What image do you wish to project – new wave or old money, techno-savvy or traditional?
Last month we drove paragons of both possibilities: the 2012 Fisker Karma and the 2012 Jaguar XJL Supersport.
Both have four doors, offer the best in automotive design, luxury and performance – and cost more than $110,000.
However, the Fisker Karma is all cutting-edge technology, transmitting power directly to the rear wheels with two electric motors, powered by batteries charged at home or by an onboard gasoline engine.
By contrast, the Jaguar offers a traditionally powered 510-horsepower supercharged 5-liter V-8 engine transmitting power to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission.
We drove the Karma on a recent visit to the local Fisker dealership (see story on Page 25), taking it into the hills and for a brief blast along Interstate 280. Whether driving with traffic through the neighborhoods in its "stealth" mode or accelerating up the onramp in "sport" mode, the car is satisfying to drive. Its steering and handling are what one would expect from this sleek supercar.
Technically, the car is a "plug-in, rechargeable hybrid." The rear wheels are each driven by an electric motor mounted inboard of the wheel, drawing electricity from a lithium-ion power pack along the spine of the car between the seats.
A power outlet can completely recharge the batteries in as little as six hours with a 220/240V battery charger, providing a tested range of up to 50 miles in stealth mode, using just the batteries, under normal driving and weather conditions. If the driver needs to go farther, the onboard four-cylinder gasoline engine can charge the batteries while underway, adding as much as 250 miles to the car's range on one tank of gas.
Independent testing rates the Karma as about half as efficient as the Chevy Volt because of its high-performance characteristics. Nevertheless, in our area the effective range of the battery and engine would allow a typical Silicon Valley commuter to go six months without filling the gas tank, and still drive to Sacramento and back on a full tank.
In addition to recharging the batteries as necessary, the gas engine can be engaged for more spirited driving by switching to sport mode, which supplements the electric power available to the drive motors. In sport mode, the car can accelerate to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds, go as fast as 125 mph and stop quickly with a driver-adjustable combination of Brembo brakes and regenerative braking.
In a nice touch for hot days, the car has a solar panel on the roof – the largest single-panel system in any car – allowing the driver to keep the air conditioner running while the car is idling or parked without relying on the batteries.
The interior has all the luxury touches expected from a car at this price point, but with the added advantage that everything has been pushed to its ecological limit. Customers who want the ultimate in green interiors can choose a synthetic interior of man-made materials, including soy-based biofiber for the foam in the seats. Traditional interiors are upholstered with hides from animals raised under humane conditions. The wood trim is salvaged from underwater shipwrecks in the Great Lakes or reclaimed from burned redwood forests.
The front seats were comfortable and supportive, and the company has done everything possible to make the interior look sleek and high-fashion, with few buttons and most functions controlled from the 10-inch touch screen. Because of the structure of the battery packs, only two adults fit in the rear seats. Though comfortable, they would feel more like they were in a racing cockpit than in a media-room lounge chair.
As for the exterior, the sleek styling is what one would expect from an accomplished stylist like Henrik Fisker, who designed the BMW Z8 and Aston-Martin DB9.
New paint technology known as "Diamond Dust" uses recycled glass rather than metal flakes to accent the lines. A reflective UV barrier reduces interior heat.
To complete the supercar look, Fisker has adopted a trick inherent in show cars, mounting the car on 22-inch wheels, which have a highly protective, environmentally sensitive finish. The downside to the sleekness is that owners will have to be careful to avoid scraping the bottoms of the pavement-hugging front brake ducts.
Our overall impression of this technical and styling tour de force is that the early adopters will get a great deal of satisfaction from it.
But what if the statement you want to make with your luxury sedan involves impressing clients riding in the backseat? In that case, for about the same amount of money, you can purchase the Jaguar XJL Supersport. Now comfortably settled into the portfolio of the Indian corporation that bought Jaguar from Ford, Jaguar is producing great products, and the XJL is the halo example.
The XJ letters identify it as one of the top sedans in the Leaping Cat lineup; the L means it has a long wheelbase for added legroom for two or three adults in the backseat. This is no hybrid. The name, Supersport, indicates Jaguar has the supercharged gas V-8 producing 510 horsepower, transmitted to the rear wheels through a six-speed automatic gearbox.
The upside to that much power is that the car gets to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, equal to almost any sedan on the road, and tops out at 155 mph. The downside: You won't be able to brag about fuel efficiency; the EPA rates the car at 15 mpg city and 21 highway.
In all other respects, the car is state-of-the-art, built around an all-aluminum chassis that gives the car sportscarlike handling when you aren't driving clients around Silicon Valley. But whether you're chauffeuring or hot shoeing, steering, handling and ride quality are all superb.
We agree with other commentators that Jaguar designers are back on top of their game with the exterior design, trendy but still imbuing their cars with that indefinable Britishness that has influenced luxury sedans for more than a century. When you pause to admire the interior, your eyes are filled with the great swathes of wood trim and rich leather.
To pick one of these two excellent cars, you only need to decide if you want people to see you're riding the high-tech wave of the future or wafting along on solid automotive tradition. Either way, you'll be proud of your ride.

Synopsis: It began in the graveyard…
Ever since her boyfriend Nathan had died in a tragic accident, Emma had been coming to the graveyard at night. During the day she went through the motions at her prep school, in class, with her friends, but that's all it was. For Emma, life had stopped with Nathan's death. But tonight was different. Tonight Emma and her dog were not alone in the cemetery. There were two others there—Eric, who had just started at her school, and an ancient woman who looked as though she were made of rags. And when they saw Emma there, the old woman reached out to her with a grip as chilling as death….
Emma was not quite like others teenagers. It was true that other girls had experienced grief. Other girls had also lost their fathers, or had their boyfriends die in a senseless accident. But though she hadn't known it till that night in the graveyard, unlike those other girls, she could see, touch, and speak with the dead. In fact, Emma could draw upon the essence of the dead to work magic. That was what Necromancers did. But Emma had no desire to be a Necromancer. She just wanted to help the ghosts who walked the streets of Toronto, unable to escape from the land of the living. And that was just as well, because had she chosen the path of the Necromancer, Eric would have had to kill her.
Instead, Eric and his fellow Necromancer hunter Chase found themselves violating every rule they were sworn to follow, becoming part of Emma's group, helping her to stand against those who preyed upon the dead. But whether Emma and her friends could survive such a battle was anyone's guess. And whether Emma could learn to use the magic of the dead against her enemies without herself falling victim to the lure of such power remained to be seen. Eric seemed to think she could, and her living friends would never abandon her. But only time would tell what Emma's true destiny was…
Review: Since her boyfriend, Nathan, died in a car crash Emma has been "fine". She completes her normal routines (school, homework, friends), but has added a new routine – visiting Nathan's grave at night when no one else is around. Until the night there were two people there she'd never had encountered before. It wasn't the new boy at school, Eric, who bothered her…it was the old woman who ended up waking something inside her she never knew was there. Now Emma can interact with the dead and use their energy to create powerful magic. Both Necromancers and Necromancer hunters are after Emma and all she wants to do is to help the ghosts who are still trapped in the 'real' world. Thankfully, Emma's not alone on this journey…she has her close-knit group of friends, which is growing steadily.
'Silence' is a wonderful first book in a new series by Ms. Sagara. The author has created a rich and detailed world, an intricate secondary world of the dead and Necromancy, and compelling characters. Emma is very likable, has a strong sense of ethics, and deep loyalty to those she considers friends. When her world is turned upside-down it is her friends she turns to and they are more than willing to stand up to the challenge with her. Michael, a very special boy, who is autistic, gives voice to those living with autism in a humanizing way. 'Silence' has action, intrigue, and emphasizes relationships over personal power. Emma goes out of her way to try not to become a Necromancer, a user of ghosts' energy and instead works with them to achieve mutual goals. What stuck with me how Emma draws people to her by her resolve and dedication, even through the hurt she's experienced. I am so impressed with Ms. Sagara for bringing to life a heroine who knows her own mind and stands tall during circumstances which would bring a weaker person to their knees. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book!

This week is Mardi Gras, the annual celebration of all that is excessive, indulgent and covered in glitter and feathers! I've had the pleasure of going to Mardi Gras twice so far in my life. Once during college with about 20 of my closest friends to stay with one of the guys' families (Hi Boschs!). My naive eyes had never seen such a party, and our native born hosts showed us how to do Mardi Gras right! From eating Popeye's while watching the epic parades during the day, to making King Cake, to throwing beads to party people from a balcony on Bourbon St. Those days, pre-Katrina, the French quarter was CRAZY even for my standards. There are many epic tales of that weekend and how I got to know the NOLAPD well, but we'll save those tales for another day. 😉
(Quick distract them with the action shot!)(photo by Andrew Lin)
Later on, post-Katrina, I got to return to see the true spirit of New Orleans, that had persisted through the intense recovery after the storm in order to ensure that party would go on! My friend Jay showed me how the people of New Orleans came back out of love for their city, to rebuild this amazing place that has such a palpable soul. We danced in the streets past piles of wreckage and past trees with branches drooping with beads. New Orleans is about defiant survival with a shot of whisky and a splash of jazz.
Each time I visit New Orleans, the overriding sensation that follows me home is the down to earth, open-arms welcoming hospitality everyone shows. You aren't just a passing visitor to the city; the moment you let yourself get swept away in the city's magic, you become family.
This dinner, I wanted to capture that southern hospitality and spunkiness in a Cajun inspired meal in honor of Mardi Gras and all the great times I've had in New Orleans. The menu was:
- Jambalaya Bites (recipe coming soon)
- Cajun Spiced Tenderloin w/ Bourbon Glaze
- Chef DAT's White Beans
- White Cheddar Grits
- Sauteed Mustard Greens
- Gangsta King Cake
To all my guests, I hope you felt some of that NOLA love in this meal!
(We've upgraded to having a tablecloth for our folding tables now. Fancy!)
I found this great recipe for the tenderloin and tweaked it some. Really great flavors. Definitely a sassy tenderloin! A few notes from my first experience cooking a whole tenderloin:
- Buying tenderloin untrimmed will save you lots of $$$ and it's not hard to trim at all. I found this great video to show me how.
- I looked EVERYWHERE for cooking twine to tie up the roast, and ended up getting some for free after asking a butcher at my local grocery!
- 4 steps: Rub, Sear, Roast, Rest. Easy! You can add all sorts of other fancy stuff, but those 4 steps are the core.
- Even though it was a decadant meal, tenderloin is actually one of the leanest cuts of beef. Plays well with the marinade & rub method.
Servings: 10-12
- Meat
- 6.5-7 lb untrimmed tenderloin
- Marinade
- 3/4 cup worcestershire sauce
- 6 TB molasses
- 6 TB dijon mustard
- Rub
- 3 TB cracked black pepper (Try not to get carpal tunnel here)
- 3 TB dry minced garlic
- 3 TB paprika
- 1 TB kosher salt
- 1 TB cayenne
- 1 TB cajun spice mix (no salt, or skip the salt if your cajun mix has salt)
- Glaze
- 1 cup bourbon
- 1 cup dijon mustard
- 1 cup light brown sugar
1. Trim the tenderloin – Basically, you are going to cut all the excess fat and any "silver skin" – the shiny transluscent stuff on the top of the meat – off of the meat. Then cut that baby in 1/2 so you have two pieces you can cook to different doneness.
2. Mix together the marinade.
3. Place your tenderloin in a large container and pour the marinade on top. Turn to coat. Cover and let marinate for 8 – 24 hrs in the fridge.
4. About 2 hrs before meal time, mix together all the rub ingredients in a bowl.
5. Remove tenderloin from marinade and discard. Dry off the meat with paper towels to remove any excess marinde.
6. Take each 1/2 and tuck the end under so it's a pretty uniform thickness. Tie with cooking twine at about 2 inch intervals. Cut off any excess twine at the ends.
7. Rub the cajun spice rub all over the tenderloin. Be generous! Let the meat sit for about 20-30 min to come up to room temp.
8. Turn the oven to 450 while you are waiting.
9. Whisk together the glaze and set aside in a bowl.
10. Once tenderloin is warmed up, heat a large pan up to high and add some olive oil. Sear the tenderloin on all 4 sides and place in a rack in a roasting pan. Repeat with the other tenderloin.
11. Place roasting pan in oven and roast for 20 min for rare/30 min for medium rare. Internal temp should be 135 degrees, but I couldn't find my meat thermometer at the time, so I just guessed.
12. During last 10 min of roasting, baste with the bourbon glaze.
13. Once done, remove from oven and let sit for 10 min to let juices redistribute.
14. Pour theremaining glaze into a pan and reduce down while waiting for meat to rest.
15. Cut the tenderloin into 1.5-2 in slices and place on plate. Serve with the reduced glaze as an awesome sauce!
*Note – Over the next few weeks, expect to see a lot of delicious BEEF recipes here at Cookie Loves Eating, sponsored by the Texas Beef Council! There will be 4 sessions total, so get ready to get BEEFY with me!! Check out the other recipes below:

Book Elves Boot Camp: When "One Size Fits All" Doesn't - How to Segment Your Audience to Find Your Biggest Fans
Book Elves
Wednesday, August 21, 2013 from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM (CDT)
Event Details
Book Elves Boot Camp is a monthly lunch and learn workshop series for speakers, writers and those who want to be writers. Each month features a different topic presented by an industry expert. Lunch is included.
Speaker: Jenny Magic
When "One Size Fits All" Doesn't: How to Segment Your Audience to Find Your Biggest Fans
If your readers don't think your content is written specifically for them, they won't be interested. Period.
Before you do one single marketing activity, you need to understand who your target audience is, what their biggest concerns are, and what they want from you. The goal is to think less about YOU (your goals, your characteristics) and instead refocus your attention on the THEM.
We're going to talk about persona development, one of the most overlooked tools in the marketing toolbox. Starting with persona development will help you create consistent, relevant messaging that makes your target audience feel heard and understood. These tools can also help you identify new priorities, get confident about your message, and clarify your business goals. Creating effective target audience personas ensures that you attract your "best fit" audience and gives you the tools to solve their specific challenges.

Hi, I have a 700Mhz white iBook, and for a while now I've had reliability problems, probably since around 2.6.11 days. I'm running 2.6.13-rc2 from git a few days ago, and the latest pbbuttons since I read about some problems with that. Sometimes the laptop will just completely turn its self off, and when it comes back the time is set to Jan 1, 1904. This seems to happen after a sleep resume cycle, but I can't really replicate it. Other times the laptop will just lock up with no signs of life. This also seems to be after a sleep cycle, and both seem to happen plugged into power or not. Again I can't do anything specific to trigger it (except be working on something that isn't yet saved :) I haven't read about anyone else having these problems, am I the only one? -i

The team climbed a new direct line to The Godfather on Beinn Bhan on Monday the 14th of March. Their new route, now named Godzilla, tackles a direct line up the wall and joins the hard test-piece of The Godfather for its last two pitches. They have suggested a grade of IX,8.
"We got up at 03.30 and set off walking at approx 04.30...we were back at the car at 9pm..A full day!" commented Nick Bullock.
Commenting on ScottishWinter.com, Guy Robertson said:
"We topped out at around 6.30pm, probably about 11 hours on the route. As usual on this face much of the time and effort was taken up route-finding on the crux. I think a grade of IX,8 is appropriate – not desperately hard, but not a route for top-roping or dogging! Falling off on either pitch 2 or 3 wouldn't be pretty. It's undoubtedly one of the best lines either of the three of us have done anywhere – roll on winter 2011!"
- More photos of the route are on Nick Bullock's Blog.
- More info on Bein Bhan and The Godfather - UKC Article: Meeting The Godfather
Nick gave UKC a route description and brief account of the climb:
The route starts directly beneath the massive large corner at the top of the crag which is the final pitch of The Godfather.
Pitch 1. Led by Benny, tech 8. Steep and burly crack/fault line into an overhanging offwidth which leads onto a nice ledge to belay... about 40m maybe a tad more.
Pitch 2. I climbed up to a large pinacle/flake direct above the belay and looked up into a really steep blank looking black corner and thought bugger that it looks desperate, so downclimbed and traversed hard right from the belay where I thought a better crack system might to cross the very steep ground above. Climbed up, placed some gear then decided to bring the others across as this also looked desperate and I didnt fancy a right angle in the ropes! 25m tech 8 and scary!
Anyway, the others came across and I set off again finding the overhanging corner above was blank, soI then did a short traverse back left to find myself just above where I was before downclimbing on the first go... Robbo told me later that he knew the first way was the best but thought he would let me get on with it! derr!!
So now I was faced with the very steep black corner I minced away from at the start of the pitch... luckily a few very steep layback moves with torques in a flake crack on the right gave gear but the corner above looked desperate and I was starting to feel a tad nausious! I pulled up into the overhanging groove using very small hooks and found no gear. now I was definately feeling sick... I then spent about half an hour trying to place a peg, maybe more, which in the end was useless and only in about an inch. All of the time here I had to move around as I was hanging on my arms...not good!
Anyway using really small edges I layed away up the groove above the peg aiming for what looked like a crack. Fortunately it was and starting to feel a tad less ill, I placed a wire... really wild overhanging moves above found me on a small ledge, where I then found we only had about 7 quickdraws. So I belayed. Guy and Pete decided that one of them had f*cked up with the rack... I couldn't believe it, I had a million wires and only about 7 quickies!!
Pitch 3. Guy came up and led through, Pete stayed on the ledge below. He traversed right into an offwidth, really insecure, and then with 2 shoddy wires unleashed up the overhanging corner above. Super steep climbing, tech 8, which could be protected by a big cam if we had one!! leading onto mellow turf ground and belay beneath a slabby (it felt slabby after the other stuff but was actually quite steep) corner. (If you look at one of my pics, you can see guy and the ropes swinging in the wind... Photos on Nick Bullock Blog) 40m.
Pitch 4. Pete led the corner which was tech 7 and after all of the unprotected burl below felt friendly, and then traversed left to belay as on The Godfather second to last pitch. 30m
Pitch 5. I led the second to last pitch of The Godfather (which was quite spicey I thought) to belay beneath the final huge corner. Tech 8. 50m
Pitch 6. Guy led us out on the final crux pitch of The Godfather... tech 8 and utterly brilliant. Guy topped out as the sun was setting, Pete and I topped out in the dark.

Ultrasound cavitation is a relatively new aesthetic treatment. Cavitation is an invasive body-sculpting treatment with no anesthesia, scars, discomfort and down-time. It presents a risk-free alternative to liposuction. The result is instant loss of fat cells. Generally one fat cavitation treatment lasts 35–40 minutes where a single part of the body is treated. 72 hours must pass between each session so that the body can eliminate the fat. The minimum suggested number of fat cavitation sessions is between 6 and 10.
The physical vibrations (up to 1 million per second) will make each body part vibrates that provides unique cell massage, enhancing the cellular metallic function, increasing the vitality of cells, promoting the blood circulation, improving the nutrition of skin tissue and keeping the skin rosy and elastic.
Strong sound wave explodes fat heads with collective strong sound wave head, strong sound wave of 40000Hz may be emitted to the human body for impacting fat cells fiercely and causing friction between fat cells. This may cause effective consumption of calories and moisture in fat cells and reduce the size of fat cells. What's more, sound wave vibration may cause a fierce impact of fat cells to make them explode instantaneously. The liquid is then easily vacuumed out from the body using the lymphatic and urinary system. The amount of fat cells can be reduced and thereby achieve the effects of removing fat.
Radio Frequency
Radio frequency (RF) is the latest beauty technology. RF skin-tightening treatment is an effective way to rejuvenate skin, reduce wrinkles and enhance skin elasticity. The RF heats the dermis, the deepest skin layer, without damaging the epidermis, the top layer of skin. It stimulates the structural change of the collagen fibers and elastic fibers to its original elasticity, reducing lines and wrinkles. An immediate skin-tightening effect will then be achieved without risk.
Also, radio frequency can promote tissue metabolism, repel cellulite, tighten the skin, strengthen the skin's elasticity, and so on. Its effect will last for a long time. Meanwhile, it can enhance muscle elasticity and improve cell metabolism. It creates effect like internal explosion, meaning that the expansion and compression of waves produce a lot of tiny spaces inside the liquid. The gas and vapours exist in these tiny spaces. In the compression cycle, supersonic waves impose a positive pressure on the liquid molecule, whereas a negative pressure is created through the expansion cycle. There is a cohesion effect inside the liquid or biological tissues. Inside the low-density lipocyte, the cohesive effects are comparatively weak. A negative pressure, which is relative low, can create tissue gaps easily. It is called cavitations in physics. The effects of the explosion inside and outside the cells will increase the molecular movements so as to achieve a high energy state, which then leads to the lipocyte cracking.
Vacuum Bipolar RF Roller can help dissolve fat, lymphatic drainage, firm skin and enhance skin elasticity. The Vacuum Bipolar RF roller is used for reshaping, especially after fat loss. The roller works by promoting tissue metabolism and repelling cellulite. Since this unit's waves can get deep into the skin, it can rapidly burn the fatty acids and reduce the fat cell size.
It attracts and outspreads the fibrillary connective tissue of different cortexes. Through the rhythmic massage, it effectively breaks down subcutaneous fat and reduces cellular tissue accumulation of fat. It massages different parts of the body and brings up fat layer in dermis. It releases micro-vascular lymphatic vessels, at the same time, and promotes metabolism to break down fat acids. The detoxification is enhanced by the vacuum bipolar RF. At the same time, the skin becomes more elastic and lusterous. It is the "healthy body sculpture management" expert.
Infrared is electromagnetic radiation in which wavelength is longer than visible light, but shorter than radio waves. It is invisible to the naked eye, but the heat effect can be felt. Radiation is everywhere, like from the sun, fire and even a light bulb. We perceive them as heat. For the infrared, it can penetrate 2–3 cm deep into surface of our skin. Another notable feature of the infrared light is that it has all the benefits of the natural sunlight without the harmful effects of solar radiation.
Working Principle of Infrared Light Therapy :
Infrared light therapy is a form of phototherapy that can be directly applied in body treatment. No medicines are involved in this treatment. No body injury or painful feelings are involved in the treatment, either. When the infrared light penetrates into skin's surface, it promotes the release of nitric oxide. It can also relax blood vessels in order to prevent the formation of blood clots. Therefore, blood circulation can be improved. As more and more blood reaches the damaged tissues, the supply of oxygen and nutritional value are increased. In this way, the infrared light ensures that the damaged tissues are healing at a fast speed.
Uses of Infrared Light Therapy :
Infrared light can be used for different skin treatments, from minor problems like acne to serious ailments like chronic arthritic pain or high blood pressure.

This week, we're on episode 7 of the Colony, "Tick." The show opens showing the mysterious guy in the boonie hat who's been watching the colonists since the first day.
They're 40 days into the show and they're all suffering from a lack of calories. In fact, George has lost 34 pounds. It's affecting their judgement, their mood, and it's causing them to be myopic about various issues.
There's really no way to prepare for this by reading about it. To the extent that you can due to medical conditions, you might want to consider occasional fasting just to see how you cope with hunger. If nothing else, it will give you a more realistic expectation of how much you can get done when you're operating without food.
This week, the colonists decide to turn the boat and airplane engine into an air boat. One of the problems is that the airplane engine is a high compression engine that runs on high octane fuel. They don't have high octane fuel, so Michael is going to try to make ethanol.
As an interesting note, the narrator says that they're going to use Michael's home brewing experience and Michael says that he makes alcohol at home. And that is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard anyone say on a reality TV show. You see, while in most parts of the country, it's legal to make wine and beer at home, it's illegal to make distilled beverages.
It's something that the BATFE is fairly aggressive on. By the end of the show, they have made a low proof "rum" and have "distilled" water, but they haven't distilled rum. I'm very interested to see whether they commit a felony, have a license, or do something else now that they've started down this path.
In a TEOTWAWKI situation, it would be great to be able to have skill at distilling…I just haven't figured out how to get practice at it legally. And if I was doing it, like Michael claims to be, I sure as heck wouldn't admit it on national TV.
Pregnant decoy! This was beautiful…a group of outsiders sent a pregnant decoy in to distract the colonists while 4 other outsiders sneak into the camp. I'm not sure whether the lady was really pregnant or if they just gave her some pillows to make her look pregnant, but this strategy has been proven effective for thousands of years.
Some variations are using mothers with infants, small children, prostitutes (think "Yellow Rose of Texas"), or people with disabilities.
Which begs the question, what would you do if you were confronted with one of these situations? What if a "damsel in distress" comes to your door in a post disaster situation?
The colonists decided to start a foraging rotation, which is great…if they would have started this 40 days earlier, they'd still have lots, if not all of their original survival provisions. It's important to remember with 72 hour kits and long term survival supplies that you should constantly be replacing/rotating your provisions or finding things to eat besides your survival provisions.
Boonie hat guy, "Tick," showed up again and offered dinner to the colonists. It turns out that he was a Marine sniper and has been living in the compound off of the land for as long as the colonists have been. The meal that he fed the colonists was all stuff that he caught, picked, or killed right where the colonists have been.
There were several interesting aspects to this…it highlighted how much leverage food gives you with a hungry person. It showed just how much the colonists WANTED to trust someone. They put themselves in a shipping container that they could get locked in and they trusted him immediately because he had food…not because he'd proven himself.
They also invited him into their group before really meeting him. He decides to join the group which could be a HUGE benefit to the group…a true force multiplier.
This may very well end up being an example of a case where one person with specialized knowledge combined with a group of willing grunts is a powerful combination.
It will be interesting to see next week whether or not the colonists show Tick EVERYTHING they have or if they have learned to hide their supplies yet.
So, what lessons did you see in this week's episode? What do you think about eating cockroaches? Any scenarios that you gamed after watching it?
***Here's another way to look at it. I think most of us can identify more with Tick than with the colonists. I'm not saying that everyone is as well trained or as capable, but our mindset is more in line with Tick's than with the colonists. So, with that in mind, would you look at the colonists as free labor? As watchdogs on 2 feet? As insulation between you and outside agressors? How much would you teach them, knowing that the might turn on you?***

Nice! This looks like fun to drive. A spectacular model!
Forgotten Hope 2 is an award-winning World War II modification for Battlefield 2TM and is based on the original Forgotten Hope, a modification for Battlefield 1942TM, one of the most popular multiplayer games ever. Battlefield 1942TM featured land, sea and air combat in a way never before seen. It was the goal of the development team to maximize the game experience by adding both a realistic and enjoyable gameplay to FH and now to FH2.
Nice! This looks like fun to drive. A spectacular model!
Ahhhh, this takes me back to the RO1 days.
...is it just me or does it look like a giant roller-blade shoe? Or a giant mechanical foot with wheels...
Oh god, the clown car!
lol it's a cyclops!
No offence to the model though, it look awesome!
Superb quality, looking forward to Soviets.
Great Model, soviets have all the cool stuff :P
Smooth model

The BA-64 was a small, lightly armed, 4x4 armored car that was used by Soviet armies primarily for reconnaissance and liaison tasks. Nicknamed 'Bobik', the BA-64 was armed with only a DT light machinegun, and suffered from a lack of any major weapons. However, this did have its advantages. Combined with excellent maneuverability and speed, these nimble scout cars saw large success in urban combat. BA-64s were even able to fire on enemy soldiers hiding on the top floors of buildings and low-flying aircraft since the gun was able to be elevated so high. The BA-64 was produced from 1942 - 1946, with an estimated 9,110 made. The BA-64B was created by Toddel.

A representative for Harry Styles has dismissed claims the One Direction star sent a friend's mother "disgusting" text messages in an attempt to seduce her.
British TV presenter Yvette Fielding alleges Styles, a pal of her son Will, fired off a number of rude messages to her as they dined as part of a group together.
Fielding, who claims the singer was just 16 when the incident took place, tells U.K. publication Woman, "Harry was sending me disgusting texts from across the table. I can't even repeat the words, they were so rude!"
However, the pop superstar's spokesperson has moved swiftly to shoot down the allegations, stating, "Harry has never sent any rude or inappropriate text messages to Yvette Fielding."

What would you think if you received a birthday
cake like this? Tiffanys? I think a big YES!
One of my friends had a birthday over the last
weekend and his wife is a cake and patisserie chef.
She made this beautiful chocolate mousse cake
with a wine bottle on top of the cake because my
friend loves wine.
I was totally fascinated to find that you can really
make a cake in any shape you want. I discovered this
amazing cake place in London called Michelle's Cakes.
Michelle Wibowo is really more of an artist. She
graduated with a degree in architecture no less but fell
in love with baking and went back to study baking science.
Michelle has made cakes for celebrities all over
London. A jet setting friend? Here's the perfect
cake for her.
A sporty gal perhaps?
Fan of the Simpsons?
I love the rocks around the pond.
I don't know any girl who would
turn down a designer purse...
LV? Roll out the red carpet.
For the shop-a-holic? Never fear. The English
have Marks & Spencer while we've got Bloomies.
How about a sweet gift box?
Diet Coke addict?
The bibliophile or book lover.
This one would be great for grandma.
But this one is even cuter!
I hope this has sparked your imagination
for the next birthday cake your make or

Raddle Powder
Produces bright, long-lasting marks that make it easy to identify which ewes have been bred. Takes the place of a marking harness.
Common Uses
- Eliminates the need for a breeding harness
- Container reseals, so there's no waste
- 3 colors: red, blue, and green
How to Use
When using mineral oil: Mix 2 parts powder to 1-1/2 parts of mineral oil into a thick paste.
Use OB gloves (to help keep your hands clean) and rub paste into the lower neck/brisket. Apply fresh raddle to brisket every 2 to 5 days. Wool or hair growth of 2 to 3 months on the brisket helps to absorb/release the paste.
- Usually takes more than one application. More mess than a breeding harness.
- Marks are not always scourable—particularly if vegetable oil is used.
- It is difficult to remove all of the raddle from the animal's chest in order to change colors mid-season. If you plan to switch colors, go bright to dark or green/red/blue.
- Raddle works best with wooled breeds of sheep. The fiber of hair sheep and goats does not hold the raddle as efficiently as wool.
Listed below are recommended optional components or related items. Your particular situation may require alternative recommendations. Please call and talk to our consultants if there are any questions at 800-282-6631.

The product is easy to mix and apply. Obviously it's a little messy if you are used to marking crayons. I use this on my buck because the marking harness was such a PitA and he eventually ended up destroying it. It has to be re-applied frequently. I would like it a lot better if it actually made my does go into heat and got them bred!
Michelle L from WI
I have never used a breeding harness before, so I cannot say whether or not this is better. However, I can attest to this powder's ease of use. It washed off my hands very easily (my rubber glove split open on the second ram, so my hand go totally covered with it). I hope that it comes out of the wool as easily as it did my hands because my poor ewes have it all over their bodies - any place that the amorpus ram has brushed up against. I used vegetable oil so that it would wash off more easily. Perhaps transfer would be less with mineral oil, but doubt it.
Theresa H from Iowa, Buchanan County NE
I purchased 3 colors of Raddle Powder. I am very pleased and respectful of the fact that your descriptions of the wool paint versus ram harneses did say that using the paint is the messier version. I'm glad you told me. This way I knew what I was getting into and am not disappointed. I first mixed it with vegetable oil, but then tried using clear grease from a tube. The oil dissolves the powder better, but I like the thickness of the grease. I don't end up having so much paint drip out of my hand. I use a latex glove, but the paint does wash off easily.
I would like some advice on what is the best order for using the colors. I started with blue and plan to switch to red and then green. Also I plan to change colors after 21 days.
I am pleased that this I have enough product to last for a lot of application. I am thinking of also using it with my wool paint numbers/brands.
Jeff K
Works very well. Directions on the package are very clear and easy to follow. Liked the suggestion on this website to purchase the OB gloves along with the powder.
Susan B
This stuff is a little messy, but really easy to use. We mixed it with veggie oil and it washed right off my hands with Dawn. It didn't even leave a stain from the pigment. Our ram had about a month of wool growth and it still worked well.

WASHINGTON — During its 1984-85 term the Supreme Court did not return prayer to public schools, approve the spending of tax money in religious schools or allow workers the right to take their Sabbath day off.
What the court did was confound the experts who thought it would do all of the above.
''I think it was a term in which expectation did not equal reality,'' said Dick Howard, a University of Virginia law professor.
