Must eat: Oatcakes
Elizabeth Cooper in her oatcake bakery c1955
Anyone visiting North Stafforshire has to try the the famous North Staffordshire oatcake, which any North Staffs exile will go to great lengths to import, to where ever in the world.
My maternal grandparents owned and ran an oatcake bakery. After my grandfather's death my grandma and uncle continued the business until she retired. My dad also worked for her at weekends and I went along to help when I was a schoolgirl. So OK, I have two reasons to be biased - location and family history - but they are delicious. Try one and see!!! Even if you have coeliac disease like me you can even get them gluten free (in some places and if you eat them fresh straight from the hot plate or grilled with cheese they are pretty good, although I do still envy anyone who can eat the genuine article).
See Martin Wainwright of the Guardian on the trail of the North Staffs oatcake.
Learn the lingo
The people of "The Potteries" don't speak Brum or Scouse. There is a distinct local dialect. See if you can undertand it. You can listen to here at BBC Radio Stoke and, if that is too difficult, try reading it.
Just like Ladymoor Gate, North Stafforshire is on a border: between the West Midlands and the North West regions. Officially part of the Midlands it is often overlooked by mainstream media, but to get a flavour of the community, including some close neighbours in South Cheshire (North West), try visiting The Sentinel newspaper (but beware the noisey adverstisements).

12 Apr Practice Tip: Debt Relief Agency Notices
Posted at 00:05h in Bankruptcy Basics 0 Comments
The majority of courts that have considered the issue have found attorneys are debt relief agencies under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act. Being a debt relief agency requires compliance by bankruptcy attorneys with Sections 342 and 527. There are four debt relief agency notices a bankruptcy attorney must give a new client. You can link and print a copy of each notice here: BAPCPA DRA Notices. These notices must be given within 3 days of offering to provide bankruptcy services. The attorney must retain a copy of the notices for 2 years thereafter. It is easy to save your notices as a .pdf file on your computer.

Today, lead scientist of The Nature Conservancy and CBS contributor M. Sanjayan made an impassioned call to action with regards to climate change, reports Think Progress.
The scientist said that whether or not you believe the science of climate change is valid is, at this point, "almost immaterial." Every state in the United States reported a warmer than average winter this year and are expecting a hotter than average summer.
If you were born after 1985, said Sanjayan, you've never experienced normal weather. Since then, we've been living on "a planet with a fever." Soon, there will be real impact on the food supply and on our way of life. In 2011, after years of crippling drought, more than a million head of cattle were moved out of Texas to more northern states like Montana.
"These cows won't be back," said Sanjayan. He said that whether insurance companies acknowledge it openly, they all have committees examining and shaping strategic options to cope with climate change. State Farm, he said, won't insure homes and families in Florida because of threats posed by hurricanes and rising sea levels.
"Look, when my insurance agent worries about something bad happening," he said, "it's probably time for me to be worried as well."
Climate change is not an issue regarding our future, he said, it's happening now. "This is our society's sink or swim moment."

By Michael Connor
(Reuters) - The judge in the landmark bankruptcy of Alabama's Jefferson County sided with Wall Street creditors on Friday and sharply limited how the cash-strapped local government can use funds generated by its sewer system.
The ruling, in a months-long court dispute, aggravates a cash crunch for the county that may exhaust its general fund within three months.
In the dispute over the size of payments to owners of $3.2 billion of sewer-system debt, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Thomas Bennett said the county cannot pay legal fees and set aside charges for depreciation and amortization from net operating revenues owed to creditors.
The judge stopped county officials from putting current monthly revenues into reserves for capital projects, professional fees and other purposes not directly related to present operations - actions which reduced payments to creditors.
County officials were to make payments to sewer system creditors, Bennett said, "without withholding of any monies for depreciation, amortization, reserves, or estimated expenditures that are the subject of this litigation".
Bennett appeared to stop short in a 43-page decision of barring use of such reserve funds indefinitely, but the ruling will impact the already cash-strapped coffers of bankrupt Jefferson County.
Bennett's decision was nervously awaited in America's $3.7 trillion municipal bond market, where revenue bonds of the sort issued by Jefferson County's sewer system might have become riskier to own if Bennett had ruled in favor of the county.
The county had been very aggressive in holding back payments to the sewer system's warrant holders and were rattling long-held assumptions of investors that interest payments on revenue bonds continue in municipal bankruptcies, analysts have said.
Creditors such as Bank of New York Mellon and JPMorgan Chase had argued that the county had been illegally using money for purposes beyond ensuring efficient operations of the system that serves 130,000 customers.
The county claimed the money, which Bennett calculated would deprive bondholders of $54 million for each year the county remains in bankruptcy, was required for future repairs, fees for its bankruptcy case and other capital expenses.
In the ruling issued in Birmingham, Alabama, Bennett said the county had claimed that average monthly operating expenses for the sewer system had risen 92 percent since January over the monthly average during a prior two years.
"If the county prevails on its position for how the revenues from its sewer system are to be applied under its classification of properly recognized expenditures, the impact on the warrant holders is dramatic," Bennett said.
Bennett's ruling did not alter the county's control of the sewer system and would have no effect on its development of a workout plan needed to exit bankruptcy, according to David Carrington, president of the Jefferson County Commission.
"The county can continue to operate the system, and the county's sewer professionals have the resources they need to continue providing vital services to the community," Carrington said in a prepared statement.
Jefferson County, the home of Birmingham, the state's business hub, filed a $4.23 billion bankruptcy claim - the largest ever by a U.S. local government - on November 9. Its massive sewer debt, aggravated by political corruption and loss of local tax in a court case, fueled the financial crisis.
In April, the county skipped a $15 million general obligation bond payment for the first time, as officials said they needed the money to pay for basic government services.
Bank of New York welcomed the judge's decision, according to spokesman Kevin Heine, who added, "It affirms the rights of the warrant holders to continue to be paid from the system revenues they are entitled to."

It would seem every decent player participating in Euro 2012 is being "monitored" by Real Madrid and Chelsea. Poland's all conquering Dortmund contingent are attracting most interest, but while the co-host's captain Jakub Blasczcykowski and striker Robert Lewandowski's star quality is well known across the continent, right back Lukasz Piszczek has been less conspicuous in the transfer pages.
He caught the eye here as much as his Bundesliga team mates, particularly in the early stages of the opening day draw. His raids down the right flank threatened to create a goal well before his perfect cross fed Lewandowski. With pace, touch and an obvious understanding with his Blasczcykowski, the offensive qualities were obvious. Whether he is so certain defensively will be assessed as the tournament progresses, but it is easy to see why so many wealthy clubs are observing him so closely. If Real Madrid and Chelsea have indeed sent their "monitors" to Poland's games with instructions to assess Piszczek, their reports will be positive.
For purely phonetic reasons, no names were going to roll off the tongue of any scouts in Warsaw last night, but in the second half, it was the striker conveniently dubbed "The Greek Messi" who stole the show.
Diminutive Dimitris Salpingidis scored, created what should been a matchwinning penalty and reaped havoc with his relentless running and competitiveness. Aged 30, Salpingidis is no doubt too late to enjoy a lucrative move abroad and, with the greatest respect, he has as much physical resemblance to Lionel Bart as Messi. Nevertheless, he did enough during his 45 minutes to make himself a certain starter in Greece's next game.

The price of flavored coffee beans at the grocery store or gourmet food store can break the budget of even the most frugal shopper. Luckily, making the flavored coffee beans at home is simple and easy and requires no special skills. You can purchase pre-made flavoring, or you can whip up your own special flavors. Either way, you can have flavored coffee beans for a fraction of the cost of buying them at the store.
Place the roasted coffee beans in a large, shallow bowl. A cake or baking pan can be used, if a bowl isn't available.
Drizzle the flavoring over the beans. This can be store-bought flavoring, or it can simply be an extract of your favorite flavor, such as vanilla.
Use the wooden spoon to turn the beans in the bowl until all the beans are coated with the flavoring.
Store the beans in an airtight container until needed. The container should be made of glass or metal, as plastic will absorb the smell of both the beans and the flavoring.
Keep the flavored beans in the refrigerator to extend the time period that the flavor will remain strong.
Grind only the amount of beans needed to make each pot of coffee. Gently shake the container each time you remove beans, to help keep the flavoring distributed evenly. If you can't find coffee flavoring locally, many places online such as U-roast-em.com have a wide variety of flavors available. Coffee beans that are freshly roasted and cooled will absorb the flavor better than older coffee beans. If you can find a source for green coffee beans and roast them yourself, the resulting cup of coffee will be better than any you can buy. While almost any variety of coffee beans can be used to make flavored coffee, Arabica beans are the most commonly available variety.

In this daily video: U.S. Presidential Election results won't fail to satisfy as a French confectioner offers chocolate lovers a unique way of choosing their new President — through chocolate voting. Elly Park reports.
The transcript of this daily video: What does chocolate and politics have in common? A lot – says French luxury sweets maker "Paris Chocolat", who believes that they can predict the outcome of the upcoming U.S. presidential election. For the occasion the company created a special election box filled with chocolate incarnations of President Obama and candidate Mitt Romney. Every time somebody buys a box, they can vote for their candidate online. Owner Eric Monterrat has done a similar promotion for the French elections earlier this year and says the results were astonishing. SOUNDBITE: Owner of "Paris Chocolat' Eric Monterrat saying (French) "This straw poll is credible because when we (made the chocolates) for the French election, (our results) were very close to the real vote. Today, we are directly in correlation with what is happening." So we went online to check the chocolate voting results so far… and it was in great favor of President Obama. Out on the streets the opinions were more mixed. While these tourists can enjoying the sweet treats now, the two candidates are currently neck and neck in opinion polls… and three weeks remain until the end of the race when one of them will savor the sweet taste of victory.

lgrimage, but has placed it, as it were, beyond the danger of alteration by any possible corruption in the text, he set aside these physical facts altogether, and took in lieu of them the seventh and eighth lines of the prologue quoted above, which, I contend, Chaucer did not intend to bear any reference to the day of the journey itself, but only to the general season in which it was undertaken.
But Tyrwhitt, having seized upon a favourite idea, seems to have been determined to carry it through, at any cost, even at that of altering the text from "the Ram" into "the Bull:" and I fear that he can scarcely be acquitted of unfair and intentional misquotation of Chaucer's words, by transposing "his halfe cours" into "half his course," which is by no means an equivalent expression. Here are his own words:

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
Two years after donating eggs, I have nothing but three tiny scars and an overwhelming fear of infertility to show for it. That being said, I fully support donation.
For me, the donation process started when I submitted my first donor application.
At the time, I was trying to fund a trip abroad, which made the promise of $6,000+ for a donation all the more alluring. Plus, I firmly believed (and still do) that if I had eggs I wasn't going to need, it was worth giving a few to someone in need. After all, we women have over 400,000 egg follicles but only release about 400 of those during our reproductive years.
Needless to say, I took the leap and applied.
The donor application was grueling and I had to continually remind myself that my chances of being selected were slim. Typically donors are chosen, and paid at a higher rate, based on education, appearance and accomplishments. For example, a blonde haired woman with a PHD who happens to be a member of Mensa will make twice the amount per donation as a brown haired girl with a Bachelor's degree. I have neither a Bachelor's nor blonde hair. But I do have what I like to think of as Superman genes. Our family has hosted more people in their 90s and 100s than most nursing homes.
After piecing together my genetic lineage and answering dozens of personal questions about my life and my beliefs, I attached 25 pictures and scribbled my signature.
The application was done and I never thought about it again.
That is, until a year later when I got a call from the agency. A family wanted to make a baby with my eggs.
Before I knew it, I was at a doctor's office in New Jersey having a full physical workup done. I gave blood (twice), had an ultrasound, and allowed a few dozen people to peek inside my vagina. Then came a meeting with the psychologist.
What was my family like? How was I raised? Do I want children of my own? Although this is an anonymous donation, if a child did find you as an adult, how would you feel about meeting him or her?
Occasionally more eggs are retrieved than needed and those eggs can, potentially, be given to another woman. Theoretically the two women receiving your eggs could both have children, half siblings, who could grow up around the same time, meet, and have a relationship of their own. How does that make you feel?
Potential incest concerns aside, I answered question after question attempting to both assure the staff that I didn't have any mental weaknesses that could be passed to genetic offspring and also that I was mentally sound enough to handle the emotional roller coaster that is donation. In the end I was approved and passed on to one final person in the office -– the nurse.
The nurse's job was to make me aware, doubly and triply aware, of every risk known to man resulting from egg donation. She broke it down by risk level: minor complications to major medical issues. Risks ranging from headaches, mood swings, bloating and nausea to ovarian hyperstimulation and ovarian torsion.
I had these risks memorized by that point considering I'd done the research myself to make sure I knew what I was getting into. I'd read every site, egg donor blog and complaint that I could possibly find. So when I asked the final question, I already knew the answer.
"Having children in the future is extremely important to me, is there any risk of infertility from egg donation?" And the answer she gave me was the same I'd gotten from every person and every resource – "There is no evidence that egg donation can directly cause infertility".
We shook hands and took another look at an ultrasound of my uterus.
"You have a ton of follicles in there!" Apparently I was an incredibly fertile young lady.
Over the next several weeks I took birth control pills to sync my cycle with the intended mother's cycle. After we were hormonally in sync, the injections started. Injections I had to administer myself. In my stomach.
The hormones I was given caused about 24 follicles to mature in my ovaries, plumping them up like overstuffed, egg-carrying water balloons.
On the last day I was instructed to give myself a Lupron trigger shot at a very specific time on a very specific day to prepare my eggs for retrieval by forcing them into the final phase of maturation. Thankful it was the last time I had to inject myself, I gladly took the trigger shot and headed off to the clinic bright and early the next morning.
While being prepped for retrieval, a nurse came over with a small gift bag and a card.
"The intended mother left this for you."
The gift completely caught me off guard considering the donation was entirely anonymous and I'd had little reason to think of the mother aside from her uterus being prepared to accept my genetic material. I opened the card to read a heartfelt message thanking me for my donation and explaining why she'd chosen me as her donor.
I couldn't help but sob shamelessly, her gratitude was so unexpected and I was so hopped up on fertility hormones that I completely broke down. With snot running down my chin, tears collecting on my pillow, an IV in my arm and a smile on my face, I was wheeled into the operating room.
I obediently attempted to count back from 10 as a nurse Velcroed my arms and legs to an operating table (a very compromising position for a girl in a hospital gown). But I failed miserably. Before 7, I was asleep.
Shortly after, I woke up to a nurse with Saltines quietly repeating my name. The procedure had been successful.
While listening to the nurse explain how things had gone, I started to shake. A lot. Apparently that's a fairly normal part of anesthesia. Then my blood pressure dropped, came back up, dropped again. After about 15 minutes everything evened out and after a little monitoring, I was sent home with my boyfriend/chaperone and directions to take ibuprofen for the pain.
But pain usually isn't an issue for me; I had no intention of taking ibuprofen. We stopped for food and then made our way home while I sat cringing in the passenger seat. My insides hurt surprisingly bad every time we hit a bump.
I'd read that most women find the donation process painless, but for me the ride was unbearable. I alternated between nauseous and pained.
By the time I got home all I wanted was sleep, so that's what I did. For 15 minutes. And then I woke up with excruciating pain in my chest, which is most definitely not where ovaries are located or where pain should be after donation.
As I rolled over to try and call the clinic, I felt a type of pain I've never felt in my life. Everything turned white and I couldn't move. I wanted to scream but I have no idea if I did. I waited for it to stop (it subsided in a few seconds) and then I immediately called the nurse I'd seen earlier that day. When I explained my symptoms she seemed worried, instructed me to take ibuprofen and insisted I call back within 20 minutes.
I didn't make it 20 minutes.
My boyfriend tried to call an ambulance but I told him I was fine as another wave of pain washed over me. He agreed that if I could walk to the bathroom by myself, I didn't have to go to the hospital.
Being the stubborn fool that I am, I clawed my way to the end of the bed, swung my legs over the side and tried to prop myself up with my arms. As soon as my butt lifted off the mattress the world suddenly went black and I went deaf. Funny thing I learned about passing out: you lose all your senses. Go figure.
By the time I was fully aware of what was going on again, the paramedics were already in my apartment.
In another few minutes I was in the Emergency Room with a doctor leaning over me. Before he could do more than lightly poke me on the belly, I threw up on the hospital floor (oops!) and began to moan in agony.
I don't think I stopped screaming, whining or whimpering for the next hour while they tried to figure out what was going on. I was that patient every person hopes they never hear while in the emergency room –- the one who sounds like bamboo shards are being slipped slowly under her fingernails.
Morphine shot after morphine shot, everything still hurt. In the middle of all my wailing, the doctors somehow managed to get me to lie still enough for an ultrasound which revealed that my abdominal cavity was completely flooded with blood. A lot of blood.
I was immediately given a blood transfusion while a gynecologist was called for surgery.
When the doctor arrived she quickly explained the situation, "You lost a lot of blood in the last few hours. I'm going to cut three little incisions and do laparoscopic surgery to remove that blood. Now I need to warn you ahead of time, there's a good chance I will have to remove part of the ovary and possibly the whole thing…"
I was going to lose an ovary.
I heard nothing else after that point, all I knew was that I might not be able to have children. I hyperventilated, I cried, I lost the ability to control myself or my emotions. My boyfriend tried to comfort me but all I could do was sob until they finally knocked me out for the second time that day.
When I woke up again, all was calm in the recovery room. I was hooked up to oxygen and had about 30 tubes going into and out of my body. There was only one thing that mattered to me, "Do I still have my ovary?"
Thankfully I did.
But that doesn't mean luck was entirely on my side. I'm at an elevated risk for a host of problems including adhesions, cysts, etc. Knowing that, I have a very real fear that I've lost one of the most important parts of being a woman. I worry every day about what will happen when my boyfriend (now husband) and I try to conceive in the coming years. There is no "normal" gynecologist visit for me anymore.
That being said, I still believe in egg donation.
Why? Because what happened to me is not normal.
In fact, no one can even pinpoint the reason I bled out. The clinic monitored me extensively leading up to surgery. They sufficiently warned me of the risks and the retrieval doctor didn't make any fatal errors as far as anyone could tell. Everything about the situation was ideal.
Yet it still happened.
Which means I am part of the <1% who almost die after a completely competent retrieval.
Despite that fact, knowing that I may have created a child for a woman who couldn't conceive has given me a sense of fulfillment that few things in my life have. And while I write this with a dull pain on my left side (which still happens sometimes), I pray that somewhere out there a mother is starting a family. Because of me.
Which is why egg donors exist.

Choosing a home painter or a professional experienced in commercial painting is an important process, especially if you have a large project.
Here are some tips on how to select a good contractor.
Taking the time in your selection is worth it!
Always . . . Expect Beautiful Results
Please enter the word that you see below.
"Jeff Youmans from Auburn painting did an excellent job painting our home in Roseville. He was very professional and put in extra time to make the job perfect. His attention to detail is excellent and he really wants to make sure you are 100% happy with the job.
We get a lot of compliments about how nice our house looks since the painting was done. We are extremely happy and give Jeff's name out to all of our friends! Thanks for everything!"
Darla Lyon, Roseville
"We are so pleased with the work of Auburn Painting on our house. Jeff and Carol Youmans were wonderful to work with. They were so responsive to everything we needed, every question we had and our time frame.
The color of the house and the trim are absolutely perfect. Our house will look beautiful for years to come because of their professional work and attention to detail. We highly recommend these honest and hard working people to anyone who needs painting."
Sincerely, Beth and Larry S. - Auburn, CA
"Thank you Jeff so much for a job well done! We had 2 houses (interiors) painted. One was for my mother and the other was for me. Jeff came to my moms house with samples and painted small areas and DRIED them so that my she could make a better decision on which colors to go with. He was very patient with her and as it turned out the original colors she picked were not exactly what she wanted. So, Jeff mixed a special blend for her to give her the exact look she was wanting.
The house turned out beautiful Since I had my colors picked out Jeff didn't need to do all the extra testing for me. He was very fast, thorough and left NO MESS! Nicest guy ever. Great customer service! Thanks Jeff!!!"

- IVHsmillerAnswered on May 17, 2016 at 08:45 AMNik_C—
I'm confused. I received an email from "David" on your support team yesterday at 1:42pm saying the "Inventhelp" account had been cancelled (email from David is attached). You then emailed me at 1:55pm saying the account cannot be cancelled for some reason… We cannot log into the InventHelp account because Jessika Baldwin's user was associated to our 2nd JOTFORM account named "INPEX."
Can we please get confirmation that our Inventhelp Jotform account has been cancelled and that we will not be billed $90 for the service? We've requested this from JotForm at least 3 times now.
I have cc'd Jessika Baldwin on this email in case you need any verification from her to finalize any account cancellation.
Kind regards,
Spencer Miller

We do apologize about the confusion that seems to be happening with this issue you are experiencing involving cancellation and deletion of "Inventhelp" account.
We can easily cancel the subscription plan no questions asked since you've provided enough information to verify that which is what David had done for you already via email.
However please disregard what Nik_C stated above as I found that I am able to verify your related ownership of the account since you are using the same IP Address associated it to prove that. I think he stated that because we usually require verification of some sort to protect the account holder. So based on the above circumstances and findings it would be okay for us to safely continue.
Currently, the Inventhelp account is scheduled to run its course for the remainder of the paid subscription it has and downgrade back to the free plan on 5/25/2016.
If you wish we can expedite this by downgrading it manually to delete at your request.
- IVHsmillerAnswered on May 17, 2016 at 12:45 PMThank you for your response. Please take whatever steps necessary to downgrade the account now and delete it for us. As I mentioned previously, we have tried to log into this account and cannot do so to make the account changes. Anything you can do to assist is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,

The account 'Inventhelp' is already scheduled for downgrade, so you should not be charged.
If you want to delete the account because you cannot access it, you can always recover it using the email used to create it. If otherwise, we will delete it as you requested.

Trail with fantastic views!
Beautiful hike with a lots of breathtaking views
A fun, beautiful trail with some amazing scenery at the end. I only give it three stars because the first section of the trail to the pass is largely forgettable.
Phenomenal! I couldn't believe the diverse geology and the massive pine trees hiding on the upper stretch. After hiking most of the entire state this will be on my top 10 favorites.
If you want a calf burning trail this is a must! The trail is up, up, and up. A very strenuous hike all the way to the top. It starts in the junipers and sagebrush and gradually works up to the pinion pines. Once you reach the halfway mark the trail get interesting, large Ponderosa pines emerge and things get greener. This mountain was heavily logged in the 1800's and early 1900's so seeing these majestic trees is a real treat. Winding up through the large granite the trail tops out again a beautiful meadow lined with Aspen trees. Continuing further up the granite become larger and little seeps of springs are coming through. Out on the rim before the final ascent you can look for miles and miles. Beautiful variety of plants and trees are abundant. The wild Cliffrose is one of Pine Valleys treasures. It takes quite some time to reach the top but well worth the hike. Not for a first time hiker or young ones. The descent down is knee pounding.

Keyword15NH4; Arctic tundra watershed; Total dissolved N; Downhill transport of N; Hydrolysable amino acids; Hydrolysable amino sugars; Mosses; N dynamics; N immobilization; N leaching; N limitation; Snowmelt
We examined short- and long-term nitrogen (N) dynamics and availability along an arctic hillslope in Alaska, USA, using stable isotope of nitrogen (15N), as a tracer. Tracer levels of 15NH4+ were sprayed once onto the tundra at six sites in four tundra types; heath (crest), tussock with high and low water flux (mid- and foot-slope), and wet sedge (riparian). 15N in vegetation and soil was monitored to estimate retention and loss over a 3-yr period. Nearly all 15NH4+ was immediately retained in the surface moss-detritus-plant layer and > 57 % of the 15N added remained in this layer at the end of the second year. Organic soil was the second largest 15N sink. By the end of the third growing season, the moss-detritus-plant layer and organic soil combined retained ≥ 87 % of the 15N added except at the mid-slope site with high water flux, where recovery declined to 68 %. At all sites, non-extractable and non-labile-N pools were the principal sinks for added 15N in the organic soil. Hydrology played an important role in downslope movement of dissolved 15N. Crest and mid-slope with high water flux sites were most susceptible to 15N losses via leaching perhaps because of deep permeable mineral soil (crest) and high water flow (mid-slope with high water flux). Late spring melt-season also resulted in downslope dissolved-15N losses, perhaps because of an asynchrony between N release into melt water and soil immobilization capacity. We conclude that separation of the rooting zone from the strong sink for incoming N in the moss detritus-plant layer, rapid incorporation of new N into relatively recalcitrant soil-N pools within the rooting zone, and leaching loss from the upper hillslope would all contribute to the strong N limitation of this ecosystem. An extended snow-free season and deeper depth of thaw under warmer climate may significantly alter current N dynamics in this arctic ecosystem.

Philip Pirie has over 20 years' international management experience, during which time he became increasingly interested in what drives good individual and team performance. He changed career fifteen years ago, retraining as an executive coach. He has recently developed an online 360 feedback tool, DeltaFeedback (www.deltafeedback.co.uk), designed as a qucik and easy to use tool for leader development.
Philip is self-employed and now works with a wide range of senior and middle managers, supporting them to achieve their performance and career goals through professional and personal development, and a focus on inter-personal behaviour. Philip sees his role as a partner/guide/facilitator who can relate well to clients' professional and personal environments. He works with both individuals and teams, and has developed very constructive rapport with teams whose leaders he has coached individually.
Executive coaching's goal is to change behaviours, and these desired behaviours will often be the basis of the organisational objectives of coaching. Within this framework, there is scope and freedom for personal development, which supports sustainable behavioural change. Organisational and personal agendas are reconciled, and confidentiality maintained, by an organisational focus on measuring observable business outcomes, rather than on the way in which those outcomes are achieved. Philip sees successful coaching as clients' increased abilities to find pay-back from behavioural change.
Coaching Process
The coaching process typically has the following stages:
Stage 1: Contracting and Rapport Building
Contracting and objective setting with the client, organisation and coach
Rapport building between the client and the coach
Stage 2: Development of Behavioural Options
Client raising self-awareness and awareness of others
Client perceiving choice around repertoire of behavioural options
Client taking responsibility for choice
Client and coach using various approaches and tools to model desired behaviours
Stage 3: Implementation
Client practising desired behaviours in work-place
Client experiencing pay-back from using desired behaviours
Client and organisation experiencing improved business performance
Coaching Evaluation
Philip has carried out a research project into the critical area of coaching evaluation as part of his MSc in Organisational Psychology. This provided the basis for a coaching evaluation model, a summary of which can be accessed by clicking here

Holy, Holy, Holyin God Holiness
What does it mean when we say that God is holy? This is the Bible Minute.
Isaiah had never seen anything like it. Before him was the Lord seated in all majesty and might surrounded by angels. He described the scene in Isaiah chapter 6.
"In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: 'Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.'" (Isaiah 6:1-3)
That's the realization that prompts our need for a Savior. Jesus turns our cry of despair--I am ruined!--to the glorious proclamation--I am redeemed!

IT'S EASY to grab a chocolate bar when you've got the mid-morning or afternoon munchies but Figure Out Fat Loss' Claire Hendy gives her tips on how to avoid grabbing the nearest unhealthy treat.Related content
When you're eating healthily, sometimes there are times of the day when the willpower may be flagging and you're more susceptible to snacking or eating the stuff you know you shouldn't, especially at work.
Much like with other triggering situations, eating at the office or workplace can be defused if you take some proactive steps.
Here are some of the ones I've found work the best:
Make it the night before
This is a positive step to help you think proactively and take control. If you know you're going to be rushing out the door in the morning, make your lunch and snacks the night before. It could be a salad with quinoa or soup in a flask.
Have a hearty breakfast
Try to have a good breakfast before work. Getting a form of protein like eggs is a fantastic way to supercharge your day as well as preventing a rumbling tummy. Cereals are a poor form of fuel, usually loaded with sugar and processed beyond any nutritional value to your body.
Take leftovers
Don't want to make anything at all? Just cook enough dinner so you have leftovers for lunch the next day. Put them in a good quality watertight container after you've eaten at night and you're ready to go. You can even buy containers which will keep your food warm.
Use a blender
Many office-bound people forget that a blender is an easy accessory to keep in a desk or the company kitchen. A smoothie can be made in a few minutes from healthy fruit as well as veg.
Think outside the box
A handful of nuts or seeds is a good healthy snack to fend off the vending machine's call or stop your tummy rumbling on the way home. Get a good quality, lockable container you can use, buy a big pack of nuts or seeds so it's economical too.
Move temptations away
If your office is like most workspaces, there's probably a basket full of treats lying around – bagels, chocolates, pretzels or other sugar-laden temptations that someone "thoughtfully" brought to work to share. The simple solution is to move these treats away from you so you can't smell them or see them.
Have a picnic
When you're at work, move away from your desk to eat, make sure you chew and taste every mouthful and you're more likely to stop eating when you're full. Try something easy, maybe make dips like hummus, guacamole and have them with carrot, apple, celery or on a bed of rocket or watercress.
Drink water
Have water with you at all times. The benefits are numerous. It stops you feeling hungry, as often people mistake hunger for thirst. Try to get at least three litres a day. Herbal teas are a good option, opt for a natural pick me up in the morning of liquorice and, in the afternoon, a natural calming tea such as tulsi (holy basil).
Fruit stop
Having fruit can be a good way to fill a gap, but what I would do to prevent that sugar rush and make it more filling, is to have a small handful of nuts or seeds with it. The protein will slow the uptake of sugar and keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Be proactive in your office
See if you can get rid of the vending machine and maybe replace it with a delivery of healthy foods from a local company. Or, have a healthy eating event where you each bring in a healthy option and you share during your lunchtime.

This is new game My Lttle Pony Camp Fun for free online at our website Gamesmylittlepony.com. As other my little pony game online at our site, you can play this game in your browser and your mobile for free. In this game, two of our favorite little ponies have decided to go camping. It is a very fun adventure that they can have in nature and also quite the bonding experience. Twilight Sparkle and Applejack have found a very nice spot and have already set up the tent, but as the evening comes, they need your help to start a fire. Help them gather some wood and some rocks. Use a rake to clear up the space where they want to set the campfire, then arrange the rocks all around so they can keep the fire in control. A spreading fire is very dangerous! Then they will have to arrange the wood and rub two sticks together to get the fire to start. Now you can put marshmallows on a stick and warm them up until they get smooth and delicious. Have a lot of fun playing this game!

Celine Dion has brought her twin boys home Wednesday night, after a successful delivery from St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Fla.
Dion and husband Rene Angelil named their newborn sons Eddy and Nelson.
The 42-year-old superstar singer delivered the boys Saturday afternoon. One boy weighed 5 pounds, 10 ounces, while the other weighed 5 pounds, 4 ounces.
The names Eddy comes from Dion's producer and dear friend, Eddy Marnay. The name Nelson is after Nelson Mandela, according to People.com.
Dr. Manny Alvarez, senior managing health editor for FoxNews.com and chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Science at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, said it sounds like Dion had a normal delivery.
"Just over 5 pounds is a very normal weight for twins at 36 weeks," he said.
Alvarez, who did not treat Dion, said that delivering twins at 36 weeks is to be expected.
"The average delivery for twins is 38 weeks, so for Celine and her husband, that's only two weeks shy of normal delivery. I would expect that if there are no other complications, they are going to be perfectly fine," he said.
At 42, Dion was considered to be a high risk pregnancy.
"I would call this pregnancy a success story, especially with twins and at her age," he said.
Dion and her husband-manager, Rene Angelil, are already the parents of one son, 9-year-old Rene Charles. But Dion had long wanted to have more children, and, like with her first child, she had difficulty becoming pregnant. She has spoken openly about her struggles, undergoing several rounds of in-vitro fertilization.
Last year, after information leaked that she was pregnant, she confirmed the news, only to learn that the in vitro procedure was not successful. She had to issue a reversal weeks later.
In an interview earlier this year, Dion said she hoped that by publicly sharing her struggle, she could help others.
"If I help people through my voice, through my interviews, through what I go through, I do not want to change that at all," she said. "I think it's making a difference."
The boys came a month early. Dion was due to deliver next month, but earlier this week, it was announced that she was hospitalized as a precaution to make sure she was near her doctors as she prepared to give birth.
Dion, a five-time Grammy winner who has sold tens of millions of albums, announced earlier this year that she would be returning to Las Vegas for a three-year run at Caesar's Palace. She had a hugely successful five-year run in Las Vegas that ended in 2007.

PERTH AMBOY — Hanem White and Jessenia Maldonado, fourth grade students from Perth Amboy Catholic School, were two of the 30 state finalists in the Verizon/Partnership for a Drug Free New Jersey 2011-2012 4th Grade Folder Competition, "Fun Things to Do Instead of Drugs".
Over 8,000 art pieces were received and it was a great honor for the two Perth Amboy Catholic School Art students to be selected. The girls attended an Award Ceremony at the Verizon Building in Newark on April 17 and received a tour of the Newark Museum with their families and art teacher, Rose Lavin Pennyfeather.

Starting this summer Verizon plans to eliminate the $30 unlimited data plan that it still offers to subscribers who were grandfathered into it, when tiered data plans were rolled out last year. The news comes from Verizon Communications CFO Fran Shammo who said that as these 3G unlimited data plan customers migrate to 4G LTE devices, they will be forced to adopt the company's new data-share plan that is expected by mid-summer.
"LTE is our anchor point for data share, so as you come through an upgrade cycle and you upgrade in the future, you will have to go onto the data share plan, moving away from the unlimited world," Shammo said. "A lot of our 3G base is on unlimited. When they migrate off 3G they will have to go to data share. That is beneficial to us."
AT&T recently began encouraging their subscribers to migrate to tiered plans (which pissed some customers off), so it's not much of a surprise to see Verizon doing the same thing.
Verizon goes on to say the new data-share plan will allow subscribers to connect more devices. Shammo said, "If I can add as many devices as I want, that is more efficient from a family perspective and a small business perspective."
Some say that you should be scared of Verizon's shared data plans, but I'm not so sure that I share that opinion yet. I might be alone in this thinking, but I don't mind tiers and paying for the data that I consume. Of course I wish that there were cheaper tiers and data overages cost less, but I don't have a problem with the basic concept of shared data buckets for multiple devices.
If you are a Verizon customers, I'm curious to know what you think. Will the end of unlimited data plans encourage you to switch to a carrier like Sprint that offers truly unlimited data?

Golf Courses at Slaley Hall
Hunting Course
The Hunting Course is the superior layout at Slaley, and has been recognised for many years as an official PGA Tour venue, having hosted the Great North Open. Dave Thomas' design measures over 7,000 yards from the championship markers, and has some formidable holes. The course winds its way through towering trees and banks of beautiful rhododendrons, and golfers will be faced with many different challenges, where shaping the ball and being creative is certainly an advantage.
The signature hole of the resort is the Hunting's 9th, a tough par-4 where you must thread your drive between the monstrous trees on the right, and the meandering stream that skirts the left of the fairway. After a good tee shot, golfers are still left facing a long uphill approach shot to a severely sloping green, on what is one of the best par-4s around.
Designer: David Thomas
Course Opened in: 1989
Par: 72 (Ladies: 75)
Green Tees - 7088 Yards, S.S.S: 74
White Tees - 6850 Yards, S.S.S:75
Yellow Tees - 5530 Yards, S.S.S: 71
Red Tees - 5903 Yards, S.S.S: 75
Priestman Course
The Priestman is the second course at Slaley Hall, but it should not suffer an inferiority complex. Designed by PGA Chairman Neil Coles, this is a great addition to the resort, making it one of the few to have two genuine championship courses. Opened in 1989, the Priestman has matured into a tournament venue, with some superb holes, and also fantastic panoramic views across the Tyneside Valley.
Slaley Hall's extensive practice facilities offer visiting golfers the perfect chance for some tuition to sharpen up their skills.
Designer: Neil Coles
Course Opened in: 1989
Par: 72
Green Tees - 6951 Yards, S.S.S: 73
White Tees - 5597 Yards, S.S.S: 72

Accommodation at Slaley Hall
The original building is an elegant construction, set amidst the moorland and woodland of the estate, and despite being only a short drive from both Newcastle and the motorway, guests will be struck by the peaceful tranquility of their surroundings.
With the addition of the new wing, Slaley Hall now has 139 superb guest rooms, all of which have the best in contemporary amenities. With the two golf courses and a myriad of on-site activities, Slaley Hall is one of England's best destinations for a golf break.
The Leisure Club and Health and Beauty Spa are the perfect place for both activities and relaxation. The facilities include a swimming pool, steam room, sauna, well-equipped gym and jacuzzi. For some pampering, spend some time in the beauty salon and sun beds, or treat yourself to a hydrotherapy or thalassotherapy treatment. For the particularly adventurous, try some hot-air ballooning, off-road driving or paint balling.

Mayor Sam Adams held an open house tonight to take questions and comments about the city's fast-track plans to demolish Memorial Coliseum, build a Triple A baseball park and revitalize the Rose Quarter.
The meeting at the Leftbank building on North Broadway, in sight of the Rose Quarter, drew several hundred people. Many expressed concerns or questioned the complicated construction and financial plans.
Adams opened the meeting by telling people that after years of planning efforts for the Rose Quarter, the time has come to move forward.
"We're here to get your feedback, criticisms, compliments and questions," the mayor said. "In order to make a good decision on the siting (of a new baseball stadium), we want to think through the various options."
» More on MLS: Why is Adams moving so fast on plans?
Merritt Paulson, who owns the Portland Beavers baseball and Timbers soccer teams, is moving ahead with his plans to renovate PGE Park for Major League Soccer and build the new baseball park.
The City Council has agreed to a complex scheme that uses city-backed bonds to help finance the $88.8 million projects.
The Portland Trail Blazers also have plans to build an entertainment district in the Rose Quarter. They want a covered area that they hope will draw millions of visitors every year and attract people every night, not just on game days.
The district could include retail shops, bars and restaurants, as well as office spaces and a boutique hotel. Other options include a 2,500-seat concert venue and an interactive sports museum sponsored by Nike.
The idea is to create synergy between the Rose Quarter and the Oregon Convention Center, the nearby Lloyd District and other properties along Broadway.
But some people attending tonight questioned the process.
"I think the proposal was not well thought out," said Steve Linder. "Where are the other proposals you've rejected? Are you showing us other alternatives? Are you asking us other ideas or are you telling us what you're going to do?"
The biggest applause came when people talked about leaving the Coliseum alone.
Brian Libby, who has a Web site calling for saving the 1960 building, made another quick case tonight. "I respect the fact that the Rose Quarter has been an urban design nightmare for way too long," he said.
Military veterans expressed concerns about the demolition.
"Veterans are learning of the process to tear down Memorial Coliseum," said Gil Frey. "Please do not allow this to happen without due process."
The City Council is expected to take more testimony Wednesday on the pre-development agreement with Paulson. The council will vote next week on the agreement, which sets deadlines and financing schedules, among other things.
Paulson and the city have until Sept. 1 to complete a detailed financial plan for renovating PGE Park for Major League Soccer and building the new baseball stadium. The Beavers need to be out of PGE Park by 2011, when the Portland Timbers move to the big league.

Jack Nicholson to Return to Movies in 'Toni Erdmann' Remake!
Jack Nicholson is reportedly getting ready to star in his first film since 2010!
The three-time Oscar-winning actor is attached to play the title character in an English-language version of the German film Toni Erdmann.
The remake was reportedly Nicholson's idea and he approached Paramount Pictures' Brad Grey, who was able to secure the rights for the film, according to Variety. No word yet on who will play his daughter in the film!
Toni Erdmann is nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars this year and it was nominated for the Golden Globe in that category as well.
The last movie that Jack starred in was How Do You Know, a romantic comedy with Reese Witherspoon and Owen Wilson.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Santa Clara women's tennis hosts Western Kentucky on Saturday at 12 p.m. PT and San Jose State on Sunday at noon. The matches will take place at Degheri Tennis Center.
The Broncos enter the weekend with a 2-4 record after falling to Fresno State last weekend, 6-1.
"Overall, I really have been happy with the way we've been playing," head coach Ben Cabell said. "We really have been playing well but we have a tough schedule. The girls are competing well and I'm happy about that. We're looking forward to these matches and having some nice weather."
Sophomore Madison Clarke is 5-0 on court two this season after her win against FSU. She now owns a nine-match winning streak dating back to the fall. Senior Nabila Farah has also won five of her last 10 matches dating back to the fall and is 3-2 on court three this season.
"Madison has had a really great dual season so far," Cabell said. "What I'm really impressed with about her this season is the way she's competed. She's always been a good athlete and a good ball-striker. She's competed exceptionally well and we're really proud of that. She's tough and I really think she's turning herself into one of the best players in the conference."
Senior Daniella Silva and Clarke are 2-2 on court one in doubles action this season. The Broncos will mix up their doubles lineup this weekend and will incorporate their younger players such as freshmen Caraline Patterson and Caitlyn Frankel.
"This is a chance for our freshmen to step up," Cabell said. "Our goals for this weekend are to readjust our doubles teams and try to find success there and for our freshmen to step up. They've been doing a great job
The Hilltoppers of WKU are 6-3 on the season. Elpida Malamou is 8-0 in dual play, going 4-0 each on courts one and two. Monica Malinen is 6-2 with a 2-1 record on court four and 4-1 on court five.
The team is warming up for practice. Getting ready for two matches at home this weekend! #StampedeTogether pic.twitter.com/bpwGhE3B81— SCU Women's Tennis (@scuwtennis) March 9, 2017
This is the third time the Broncos have been scheduled to play San Jose State. The previous two matchups were postponed due to rain. The Spartans are 5-4 on the year.
