Hi everyone, I'm back after my long break. So many thought-provoking issues occurred while I was away and I had every intention of blogging about them, that was...until Saturday. I'm sure many of you would have read about the teenager who was allegedly beaten while walking through a gated community in St. Michael. The fact that the victim was Black and the alleged perpetrator White has once again raised the "black vs white" and "race vs class" debates in Barbados.
History shows that after slavery was abolished in Barbados, the relationship between master and slave didn't change overnight or that radically for many years. Since then, we have developed a kind of uneasy "truce" for the sake of the development of our country. The Whites control the business and we control the Parliament. But the matter of race continues to raise its head, because we've never dealt with it in any holistic way. As our middle class grows more affluent and more (I have to say it!) Black Barbadians are driving BMWs and going on spa weekends, we have fooled ourselves into thinking that racism no longer exists in our fair land. Its classism not racism, many people say. It wasn't that long ago that Black people like me couldn't walk through Strathclyde and Belleville unless we worked there, and I don't think they were excluding us because we were poor! It takes situations like what occurred last week with that youngster to remind us that in the eyes of many non-Black persons, we are still second class citizens.
Now, we don't know the full story yet of what occurred in Highgate Gardens, but the racial slurs and the brutality perpetrated against that schoolboy should serve as a wake up call to the Black middle class in this country. Many Barbadian Blacks may live in posh neighbourhoods, shop at certain supermarkets and spend money and much effort to validate their worth through material possessions, but there are some persons who still see them all as "black n****rs" who deserve an "*ss kicking".
What can we do about it? Well, for starters, we have to give our children a sense of value and a value system that is not based on brandname gear or the lastest Xbox game. We have to tell them where they came from, show them where their grands or great-grands might have dug cane holes in the country. Let them know that even though their parents are in a position now to provide well for them, others struggled hard in years past to help them reach that point. Maybe then we can begin to confront the issue of race in this country as proud, strong Black people, instead of shying away from our "shameful" past as slaves. It's our history, it doesn't have to be our future.

The War on Drugs took a new turn when states like Colorado approved first the use of medical marijuana and then later the ability to possess a limited amount of the drug.
A new documentary hopes to add fuel to the anti-war fire, and it's getting some Oscar-plated endorsements along the way.
"Breaking the Taboo," debuting on YouTube Dec. 7, has recruited both Morgan Freeman and Kate Winslet to promote the notion that the War on Drugs has failed. Freeman lends his voice to the production while Winslet is part of a promotional video to gin up interest in the film.
"Taboo" also features appearances by Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, two ex-presidents who see the War on Drugs differently since leaving office.

If you were to compare a print produced on a higher-finish inkjet printer using standard inks to a Fine modern art created in a Lab on Archival paper, initially they may appear of equivalent quality. But many inks are drinking water based, and are not rated for archival utilization. This kind of a print, if displayed correctly, will perhaps final 3 to five many years prior to any fading gets to be visible. On the other hand, an archival print, also shown correctly, will final 50 or much more years. Back to Leading.
Annex 24 Gallery brings a fresh, new viewpoint to contemporary art and also features a 'Wowzer Space'. A area exclusively devoted to creative expression, where the whole room is a palette and drawing on the partitions is inspired - why B normal? The 'Wowzer Room' hosts both expert and emerging artists monthly exhibits and multi-media installations produced by gifted local Lancaster artists; investing in our community one artful person at a time.
Creating a community of artists can be particularly beneficial. One can join a group of artists who show their function collectively, this is a good avenue to satisfy potential customers. Inquire how fellow artists are able to impress their customers, and how they are in a position to maintain them for a long time. British Modern Artist works are an important component of the artist's study, as they are recognized all over the globe. Make certain you modify the suggestions you collect to fit your specifications.
Oval Beach has been ranked as 1 of the top twenty five seashores in the globe by Conde Naste's Traveler Magazine. It's easy to see why, with the white sand backed by high dunes next to the distinct blue lake dotted with sail boats. Oval Seaside sits on Lake Michigan but on the opposite aspect of the Kalamazoo River from downtown. An interesting way to get across the river is to consider the Chain Ferry. This hand cranked boat brings pedestrians from downtown to the base of Mt. Baldy. This "mountain" is really a big sand dune that can be climbed by way of a 282 stage wooden stairway.
Enjoyed the relaxed ambience of the Conservatory at Dorrells restaurant with its fine selection of locally sourced British dishes on the menu. The AA Rosette awarded restaurant offers diners a seasonal menu with two or three course options. Hadley Park House Resort provides one of the finest eating encounters in Telford.
Without any question, it can be said that fabric portray is really creating its presence felt. In addition to that, the contemporary tinge that has been additional to this art form is also working like a golden contact. Surely, material painting has a extremely good long term.

Eating Seafood – How To Avoid Bones
There are two incredibly easy ways to keep away from coming across a hidden bone when consuming a fish dish. The very first is to invest in fish from a person of the larger species which have massive central spines and few small bones. The second way is to just take out the small pin bones from a flat or spherical fish. The gains of the larger and firmer fleshed fish Tuna and Monk Fish are two prime examples of larger fish. They both of those have […]More info

Couple Gets Married, Dances in Jetpacks
I'm now kicking myself for not thinking of it first:
The 25-year-old former wedding planner from Grand Rapids, Mich., says she wanted a unique ceremony. So the couple donned the $90,000 contraptions on their backs, along with a wetsuit for the groom and white board shorts and a rash-guard shirt for the bride.
The jetpacks from Jetlev Southwest helped the couple hover a few feet above the water, to the cheers of their wedding guests.

September is Life Insurance Awareness month and this post is in partnership with TermLifeInsurance.com, which helps spread awareness of the importance of term life insurance. Learn more about how you can protect your family and your finances.
My mom died two years and eight days ago. She was 58 and a half. She didn't get to see either of her daughters get married, she won't get to spoil grandkids, and she won't know what it's like to grow old.
Losing a parent is something we all go through, but the universality of loss doesn't make loss any less personal. However, losing my mom before I got married has made me… how do I put this… a morbid weirdo.
I say things to Brent like, "I'll love you for the rest of my life, not yours, because I'm dying first." Which he knows is bizarre, but also knows that in my twisted way, it's also sort of sweet, because I'm telling him I don't want to live without him.
I've always been such a romantic (ask my exes).
But you know what? Life is short, and in all honesty, none of us get to decide the length. So, we talked about it the other day.
Do we Need More Life Insurance Than We Have?
I'm self-employed, and right now, that doesn't come with much in the way of a paycheck, so in a vacuum, since we're living just fine on one income, the surface answer is "no," we probably don't need me to get more life insurance.
But then I remember how it felt to lose Mom. Is Brent really going to want to go back to work right after the funeral?
Probably not.
Do we have enough in short-term savings to float him?
Again, probably not.
The thought experiment is only one-sided, for two reasons. The first, as I already mentioned, is that I'm dying first. The second is that life insurance is a benefit provided by his company. We looked into it, the amount seems like more than enough.
So, I started looking into life insurance.
How Much Do We Need?
There's a calculator that has you estimate your expenses in case of death.
Final expenses prefills in at $15,000, and my experience with a funeral home says that sounds about right. Don't even get me started on the business of dying, oh my goodness.
Outstanding debts other than your mortgage? I'm going to pat myself on the back here and also assume I live longer than the car loan we're carrying at 0.9% and say zero.
Outstanding mortgage? Again, I'm going to make the bold assumption that I live past the closing date of my condo and look at the mortgage on the house only. That number is high, and if I think about it too much I get a little queasy, so I'm not going to write it down here. Moving on…
How many children require college funding? That's a zero right now, but wow does this calculator drive home the point that you should really adjust your stuff every single time something in your life changes.
Total annual income. This is embarrassingly low (again, FOR NOW! Dad, don't worry, I have a plan!) to the point that this section is almost entirely negligible, but let's play along anyway and say $20,000.
How many years should income be provided? Er… one?
What's your current savings and investments outside of retirement? Um, not much on my income.
What are your current retirement savings? Oh! I got this one. $5500 a year!
What is the value of the life insurance in force on your life? Do not understand this question, so… zero?
Assuming Your Spouse Would Work Following Your Death
Which, given the above, is probably a fair assumption.
What is your spouse's annual income? Again, I'll write that down on the thing, but Brent's income has been a little too public in the past, so I'll keep it off this post.
How many years does your spouse expect to work? Um… I think that depends on how old I am when I die, right? 10? What do I put here?
Your spouse's marginal tax rate? Well, I bring that down, but since we're playing on assumptions, okay, I'll leave it at the prefilled amount.
Estimated inflation rate: Leaving that at 3%.
After-tax net investment yield: Leaving that at 6%, mainly because I don't really understand the question.
This is the fun part. The interesting number. As the calculator says, this is the financial impact on my dependents.
And it's just under $250,000.
So, that was an interesting thought experiment and one I want to come back to when my income situation changes or if my answer to the number-of-kids-who-might-not-get-athletic-scholarships-to-college question changes.
I like this calculator because I've always thought of life insurance agents as the sketchiest of all sketchy (it has to do with a job interview I had when I was broke) and this site is anything but sketchy. It's fun in the same way Turbo Tax is fun, and once you're done with your calculations, they recommend you talk to friends and family about who they work with.
Not sketchy at all.

He's restoring cuts to the NYPD, but Mayor Bloomberg won't be sparing the Fire Department when he releases his $64 billion budget today.
Sources said Bloomberg is proceeding with plans to shut 20 engine companies to save $37.4 million.
The actual firehouses house other firefighting units and would remain open.
The mayor is also looking to reduce manning at 60 of the busiest engine companies from five to four firefighters per rig to save another $7.9 million.
Bloomberg's plan, which has to be to approved by the City Council, would leave the FDNY with 400 fewer firefighters.
On the flip side, the Fire Department hopes to raise $2 million by charging a fee after for answering false alarms transmitted by automatic devices. The fee would kick in after the third false alarm in six months.

3 categories of spinal stenosis according to pathogenesis:
- Bilateral leg symptoms which are vague & often described as heaviness, soreness or weakness.
- Claudication – presents as numbness, weakness or discomfort in legs: may come on with walking or prolonged standing & is relieved by sitting or rest. Patients can walk further if leaning on a shopping trolley or uphill.
- CES if severe.
Unilateral radicular symptoms of leg pain with numbness, paraesthesia or burning in a dermatomal distribution.

From Auburn, Washington, USA:
For the last three weeks, my daughter has been experiencing lows as low as the 30s mg/dl [1.7 to 2.2 mmol/L] that are lasting five to eight hours at a stretch. Once they go back up, they go up to over 500 mg/dl [27.8 mmol/L] in a 15 minute stretch of time. She spent four days in the hospital last week where she never had a low, but had ketones by the time we got there because her insulin had been cut to one fourth of what it had been a month ago. They did numerous blood tests and all came back normal, except an absorption test which showed she isn't absorbing her food correctly. They did an endoscopy/biopsy of her small intestine. We are waiting on that result. They are looking for celiac sprue, even though two blood tests for it have come back normal.
As soon as we left the hospital, the lows started again, usually around 8 p.m. and lasting until 1 or 2 a.m. Nothing brings her back up and she is so tired of juice, sugar pills, etc. that it has become a struggle to get her to take any of it. Any suggestions on what else to try? What questions should we ask her endocrinology team?
She has been out of school for the last three weeks because of this. We are both exhausted because we are up so late chasing her lows and then need to get up during the night to be sure she hasn't crashed again and, as if that weren't enough, she's also having lows during the day. She is 12 and on an insulin pump. She normally has pretty good control. I've tried everything I can think of and I've been working with her endocrine team daily, which is also stumped and never seen anything like it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Has anyone downloaded the pump to see what it has been doing? Start with that.
At the risk of making you angry, but sometimes that's my job...are there syringes and insulin where someone could give unknown shots? I always worry when it doesn't happen in the hospital. Most of the time it's high glucose at home and when the nurses give the insulin, all is okay.
Or, perhaps it is the digestive system. Those tests will tell something.

Text replacement might be enough for some projects, but you can do so much more with Generator. You can also insert objects such as charts, lists, tickers, and tables. You can use ActionScript to do some of these things, but that method usually takes much more time. With Generator, all you have to do is insert the object, modify some settings, and connect the object to a data source.
Some Generator objects provide functionality that you just can't get with Flash alone. Generator's Basic Charts object, for example, allows you to insert a chart dynamically when the Web server requests the Generator template.

Today, at work, we had a presentation about using disposable washcloths. The idea is that, from now on, with every person who's bedridden or needs to be washed in bed, we will be using these disposable washcloths.
There were a few points that they brought up that (according to them) are really important.
Firstly, these washcloths are a lot cheaper to use than normal washcloths and towels. One pack contains five washcloths and cost € 0,69. A quick search reveals that doing one load of laundry costs around € 0.92. So it appears to be cheaper. But how many washcloths and towels are in one load of laundry? Way more than 5, I can tell you that.
My second point is that they told us it was cleaner. While I can agree to that, the story was not all that it cracked up to be. They told us that we can use one or more packs a day. The clothes we don't use can be kept up to 24 hours. After that we have to throw them out.
They have to be heated in a microwave. They've just told us that there are always germs all over the services we store things on and how it's bad for older people to come into contact with those germs. So we put the package on a bedside table (germ ridden), open it, use what we need and store the rest in the bathroom. Then, when we need one again, we put the package (now germ ridden too) in the microwave and begin to wash again. After we're done we put their food in that same microwave! When I pointed that out I got told that this wasn't a problem as they were their own germs. This does not add up.
Thirdly, they told us it would be a lot quicker. They said we could safe 10 minutes on each client. Well, let me tell you this: I spend 10 minutes washing someone. No more. So, does this mean I can wash them in 0 minutes? It must be.
My fourth point is that they said people like the warmth of the cloth. Well, excuse me, but I never ever wash someone with cold water. I always use warm water and my clients are always happy with the temperature of the cloth! Towels I hang over the radiator to warm them up a bit before using. So again, I'm not convinced!
Fifth, they told us these clothes were tested against allergies. But they did not reveal the outcome of these tests. Now I might be way too suspicious, but I don't trust any test results of tests carried out by people who had an interest in the product tested.
My idea of these things is that they are just plain horrible to use. They smell terrible, they feel terrible (okay, I only felt them cold, but I did not like touching them). And I fail to see how such a product will help our clients to feel at home. They've been using normal clothes and towels all of their lives and now they suddenly need to use disposable ones?
So, do you have any experience with these disposable washcloths? Do you like using them? Either for yourself or for others? Because I do not look forward to using them.
I'd rather use a nice fluffy washcloth and towel over the disposable ones.

I'm in an uncomfortable state of shifting thoughts and feelings lately. I've written in the past 6 months about learning to live better with an increased understanding of my needs. But writing about it is easier than the doing of it. It is one thing to process these things as thoughts, and another entirely to live it.
Sometimes I know that understanding myself leads to an increased ability to accept who I am, to look after my needs more effectively, cope better with stressors, and move through life more gently. I know it. In my heart. I feel it when I do things differently than I used to.
There is less anxiety and exhaustion when I allow myself to slow when I am overwhelmed instead of pushing against it like I am trying to break through a chain link fence with my bare hands.
There is less overwhelm when I am brave enough to say no to things I know will cause stress that I should avoid.
There is less stress when I acknowledge my sensory needs and am not ashamed to own that they are real and not unreasonable.
Sometimes my mind slips back into the habit of playing the old record that tells me I am not good enough.
"You should be able to do this."
"You used to do it all the time…."
"It's not that hard. Just push through."
"If you try harder…."
"They can do it."
"Why can't you just….?"
"You aren't contributing as much as them."
"You could be more….."
"You are so disorganised…."
"…. messy ….."
"…. …. unreliable …."
"It's no wonder people don't want to be around you."
And it goes on, round and round, over and over.
I can try to ignore it while I muse about the ableism ingrained in my thought processes. But when I am completely honest, I have to admit that sometimes I do want to be able to do lots of things that others do. The pull of normality- what ever that is- is there. I know that it is not reality that being not me would resolve any of this angst, but sometimes I wish for it.
Sometimes I just can't manage to feel like enough. I want to, rather than just postulating that I am and feeling like a hypocrite for not being able to truly believe it of myself, even though it's what I tell others with honesty that I believe about them. But sometimes, I just can't.
I can engage in positive self talk. Reminding myself that I *am* good enough. That my value is *not* tied up in what I do, or don't, or try. But theorising is different than being sure. And I want to be sure, deep down in the core of me. And I worry that it's been too much of my life that I didn't know myself and now it is too late. I fear that I won't change these old habits and this will be a battle I will fight until I have no fight left.
Sometimes I give in to the fear and let myself slip back into doing things the way I think others expect me to. And I am reminded of how much that just doesn't work out well for me. I end up in a mess, needing to take days at a time of not doing anything while my body and mind process the accumulation of too much input. Too much noise. Too much listening. Too much seeing. Too much doing. To much feeling. Too much being. Too much remembering. Too much processing. Just too much. Sometimes I need the reminder that self care is essential.
Sometimes I make a good choice. Sometimes I manage a few good choices in a row. I achieve goals, I can see milestones. It feels good. I feel empowered. I can see how persisting with this self development, with breaking habits and leaning in to my unfolding understanding of who I am and how I work, is making me a better person.
And so I shift and swing. I am tired though, of this pendulum. I am impatient for when the times of clarity and confidence are more frequent than the times of worry, fear and feelings of inadequacy.
Sometimes is beginning to feel like not enough, and I wonder how I can make it all shift faster so that I can move away from this unease inside about who I am going to turn out to be. I know who I've tried to be. I know who I don't want to be. I don't know where I will end up though. It is unsettling, this stage of not knowing. Logically, I know that I will change forever, until I die, and that is also an uncomfortable thought.
Right now a large part of me wants to just settle on something and stop there to rest in predictability. But that would mean a halt in progress as well.
I am trying to rest instead in the knowledge that self acceptance is a process, and that the swinging is to be expected. I am trying to be mindful of the fact that a pendulum serves a purpose. It has a valuable job. A pendulum works to help keep things ticking along. Each swing serves a purpose and measures a moment in time. That is not unpredictable in the bigger picture. Rather it is deliberate and purposeful. Recognising that this stage is part of the process that I can rely on to move me toward self acceptance is reassuring, and gives me confidence to acknowledge the discomfort and keep riding out the shifts and swings.

Hello all! I know it's been awhile but Summer Reading has been keeping me hopping (also fighting dog gone Jedi). I hope some of you guys and gals (I know you are there) out there are participating. It's really a cool program. Anyway here are some cool reads I have done recently that maybe you will want to check out if you have not already.
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie - This YA book is really one of the most excellent I have read in a long time. This is the story of a young Native American teen named Junior and his transition from his familiar surrounding of the reservation he lives on to the more frightening and certainly more confusing world outside his familiar home. This book holds no punches as Junior describes in detail the poverty, depression, alcoholism and other plain truths related to reservation life. When Junior decides to go to school outside the "Res" he finds that the mostly white upper class school he picks to attend and the new kids he meets are also far from perfect and face challenges and problems, although somewhat different, not so different than those he has seen his while life. Same crap, different place. This book deals with difficult topics such as death, poverty, alcoholism, racism; yet as seen through the eyes of Junior they are presented in such a way that does not send the reader into a deep depression, but just as "this is how life is." Hope and love are always injected in dealing with these topics. One of the best books I have read in a very long time. Recommended for readers 13 years and up.
Wolverine: Weapon X, Vol. 2: Insane in the Brain by Jason Aaron & Yanick Paquette - This Graphic Novel collects issues 6 - 10 in the comic series. Wolverine wakes up in a Insane Asylum with no idea who he is or any memories at all. The Asylum is run by the sinister and potentially the craziest person in the asylum Dr. Rot. Logan slowly begins to notice his surroundings are not quite right, but will he regain his memory in time before the good doctor decides to remove his brain (a little hobby of Dr. Rot). Nice storytelling and art with guest appearances from some of my favorite X-Men. Recommend for ages 13 and up.
Beyounders: A World Without Heroes by Brandon Mull - This is a great book about a a boy named Jason and a girl named Rachel who get drawn into an alternative world/dimension where the time period appears to be around the middle ages. The two do not know each other until they get transported to this strange land ruled by an evil magician named Maldor. They learn that they must work together and trust one another if they want to defeat the wizard and hopefully return home. How can they defeat this wizard. Their exist a word that if spoken in his presence will destroy him. Pieces of the word are scattered throughout the land and they must find them before Maldor finds the two of them. They find allies along the way, but also many enemies. This is an exciting book that will have you turning page after page. Recommended for readers 9 and up.
Until next time all.

Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry Call a Truce
Actress Halle Berry and her ex, Gabriel Aubry, settled their differences in family court Thursday, a week after Aubry fought with Berry's fiancé, Olivier Martinez, at her Hollywood home.
The settlement came Thursday afternoon after a private session at a Los Angeles County courthouse with Berk, Aubry and his lawyer, Shawn Holley. The "Cloud Atlas" actress did not attend.
This agreement, however, does not include the battery charges against Aubry. The model must still appear in court on December 13.
Aubry claims that during the altercation he suffered a fractured rib, bruises to the face and cuts that required stitches. In court papers, Aubry described the incident in detail and said Martinez started the fight.
TMZ obtained the police report of the Thanksgiving Day incident and in it, cops say Aubry was the instigator and Martinez defended himself. Law enforcement, however, believes it's a "case of mutual combat," and it's almost certain Gabriel will not be prosecuted.

We go to NY twice a year to see new gowns from market. Being in the city that never sleeps reminds me of two things above everything else: fashion and food. So for this inspiration board, I wanted to focus on both. Extreme sexy silhouettes for the bride (Vera and Manolo's) and cocktail chic looks for maids, along with classic New York food (if I had a wedding cake, I can now guarantee it would be cheesecake)...why not white pizza gone gourmet for your guests?!
I also think of amazing spaces. Gorgeous architecture, soaring ceilings, exposed brick, and lots of light. Denver has lots of great places with the loft vibe to them (we happen to work in one!) so you don't have to hit the East Coast to get the look.
Best of all, NYC is a melting pot of so many cultures and styles, using the city as guide encourages you to incorporate lots of styles, traditions, and ideas in to one fantastic day!

We'll start The Life of Pi with adjectives. Original. Stunning. Mesmerizing. Mind boggling. There are more, but you get the picture.
-- Local show times, theaters, trailer.
Director Ang Lee's visionary film begins with an older, mature Pi telling a journalist how he found God. The journey from one religion to the next and the history of Pi's family is light and entertaining. Then, Pi's story takes a dark twist. While traveling from India to Canada, a complex series of disasters sink the freighter Pi and his family are on, and it sets the teenager adrift at sea with animals from his father's zoo.
Fate soon whittles the number of animals on Pi's lifeboat down to one. He is sharing it with Richard Parker, a fierce Bengal tiger. How the boy and the tiger survive, their eventual symbiotic relationship and how he eventually understands God, is an incredible and fascinating story.
Kudos go to newcomer Suraj Sharma, who plays Pi. Sharma's co-star is a tiger that is sometimes with him, at other time a special effect, or their scenes are done separately and melded together. He does most of his scenes solo, and his exceptional acting sells the concept.
The film's real star, though, is Lee. The way he does The Life of Pi -- especially in 3D -- is an incredible movie experience.
I have always been an advocate of seeing movies on a big screen in a theater. That's how they're designed. At the same time, considering movie prices and the number released each week, I understand why many of you wait to see movies in your living rooms or in your home theaters.
The Life of Pi -- such as visual feasts Titanic or Avatar and others with excellent effects -- is one of those films that absolutely must be experienced on a gigantic screen. To see it any other way will not do it justice. And spend the extra couple of bucks to see in 3D.
The trailers you've seen about the movie do not do this movie justice. Visually, The Life of Pi defies description. It is truly the Thanksgiving holiday weekend's only must-see movie.
Trust me on this one.
Mr. Movie rating: 4 1/2 stars
Director: Ang Lee
Stars: Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan
Rated PG for mature themes and some intense scenes. It is playing at Regal's Columbia Center 8, the Fairchild Cinemas 12 and at Walla Walla Grand Cinemas.
5 stars to 4 1/2 stars: Must see on the big screen
4 stars to 3 1/2 stars: Good film, see it if it's your type of movie.
3 stars to 2 1/2 stars: Wait until it comes out on video.
2 stars to 1 star: Don't bother.
0 stars: Speaks for itself.

en in the country a child knows the names of all the other children in its village, and who they are and all about them; but in London it is not so. And many rich children grumble all the time if they do not have everything they want, and never think of their poor little brothers and sisters, who would snatch eagerly at many of the things they throw away.
Have you heard the story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin, who piped so wonderfully that he could make anything follow him when he liked, and how he piped so that all the rats ran after him, and he led them to the river and they were drowned? When he asked the mayor and chief men in the town to be paid for what he had done, they laughed, and said: 'No, now the rats are dead, you can't make them alive again; we have got what we wanted, and we won't pay you.' So the piper was very angry, and piped another tune, and all the children in the town followed him; and he led them on and on toward a great mountain, where a cave opened suddenly, and they all went in

The award-winning Rhys Carpenter Library, opened in 1997, is located in the M. Carey Thomas Library building and houses the collections in Archaeology, Classics, History of Art, and Growth and Structure of Cities. The Lois and Reginald Collier Science Library was dedicated in 1993 and brings together the collections for Mathematics and the sciences. The library collections of Haverford and Swarthmore Colleges, which complement and augment those of Bryn Mawr, are freely accessible to students.
Tripod (http://tripod.brynmawr.edu), the online public access catalog, provides information about the more than three million books, journals, videos, sound recordings, and other materials in the Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore College collections.

Gamepad compatibility for games on BlackBerry 10 has been available to developers for a while now and there's already several games that support the option in BlackBerry World. The problem with that previously, though, was that unless the developer stated it in their app description no one would know whether or not gamepads were supported.
That's no longer a problem any more as a server side change to BlackBerry World has introduced a new 'Gamepad Compatible' section. If you open up BlackBerry World right now on a BlackBerry 10 device and head into the Games section, at the very bottom you'll see games such as Shadow Gun, Critical Wave, Neverball are already listed but that list will continue to grow as well.
This is something that has been a long time coming, so I'm glad to finally see it appearing there. If you're shopping for a compatible with BlackBerry 10 gamepad, be sure to check our listed of ones that are supported.

Cedar Tree Montessori Elementary was established in 1999 and is a state and federal non-profit preschool and elementary. We are a caring, dedicated community of students, parents and teachers located in Bellingham, Washington. We treasure each child's special personality and unique set of abilities.
The Montessori classroom is designed to provide a rich and stimulating environment in which each child can develop academically at his or her own pace. Social skills are taught and modeled. Children role-play strategies and are guided on the playground and in the classroom to use these techniques. Cooperation and conflict resolution create a peaceful, productive, happy classroom atmosphere.
Cedar Tree's Mission is to cultivate a passion for learning, advance academic skills, and promote peace and global awareness in a nurturing community.
Core Value: Academic Excellence
By teaching children in small groups or individually, students naturally accelerate their learning. Research shows that children who complete a six year curriculum at a Montessori elementary school are typically two to three years beyond their public school peers academically.
Core Value: Independence
The Montessori environment provides a sequence of developmentally appropriate academic and social experiences in which children naturally build their confidence and academics through increasing levels of freedom with responsibility. Children explore their own interests through independent projects several times a year.
Core Value: Community
Cedar Tree values and encourages community. We provide opportunities for parents to volunteer in school, to gather for monthly social or school events, to congregate at drop off and pick up times and to easily communicate with teachers and staff.
Core Value: Diversity
Multi-age classrooms build the expectation that differences between children are normal. We also have a number of children from nontraditional families. Cedar Tree embraces families of any race, national or ethnic origin, religion, or sexual orientation. Family members are invited to come and share their cultural background and family history.
Core Value: Cooperation
Cedar Tree staff teaches and models peaceful problem solving skills. We assist children with language to resolve conflicts both in the classroom and on the playground. Children take care of the classroom environment, consider the impact of their words and actions on others and frequently collaborate or help one another.
Core Value: Global Perspective
Our school seeks to reduce its environmental impact by recycling, reusing materials and cleaning with green products. Children participate in public service projects. We emphasize respect for nature and humanity as we share our planet's resources.

I walked confidently to the reception of the maternity ward telling them that I had called earlier about my waters breaking and that I had been told by a midwife to come into hospital.
I was taken into a lovely and clean birthing suite. There was a bed, machines, a bathroom, a lounge chair, a television, basin, chairs – all the necessities.
I had two lovely midwives and an obstetrician checking to see my progress using only completely clean and sterilised implements. I was later hooked up to a monitor and had a clean cannula inserted.
I really had nothing to worry about, I was in good hands, I had everything I needed to deliver my son safely.
After 5 hours, my son was delivered. His umbilical cord cut with clean and sterilised implements. His eyes wiped with a sterilised cloth and I was looked after with the best of care and hygiene.
But, unfortunately, many women in Uganda have the complete opposite experience.
- Half of all women in Uganda give birth alone without a skilled health worker
- 1 woman in 49 dies in childbirth [in Uganda]. To put this into context, in Australia the number is 1 in 8,100.
- The United Nations (WHO) estimates that 289,000 women die annually in childbirth. Developing countries account for 99% of these deaths.
- This means that on average, 1 woman in 27 dies from pregnancy-related causes.
- The majority of deaths occur around the time of delivery
- 43% of women are not delivering with skilled birth attendants and are often delivering in unclean conditions (especially women in remote areas).
- Many health facilities operate under poor water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) conditions and the birthing kits are still relevant to use in health facilities
- Infection is a contributing factor of maternal death, often introduced at delivery
- The proportion of newborn deaths of all under 5 child deaths, is increasing as this needs more focus in our interventions
- 33% of all child deaths in Uganda are newborn with infection responsible for a significant number of these
- Infection can be introduced during delivery, cutting and care of the cord.
This is where Vision Sisters are making a huge difference.
Vision Sisters is a new movement of Australian women who, with faith and compassion, join together to assist women in the poorest countries in the most practical way. This year, their goal is to save the lives of mothers and babies in Uganda by providing 10,000 clean birthing kits and providing training to health workers.
Although a birthing kit is basic and costs only $3 (less than a cup of coffee), it can help prevent infection and save lives.
Each birthing kit contains six items needed to ensure a clean delivery.
To be honest with you, I cannot even imagine being in a situation where I did not have the basic things to give birth safely. When I walked into the hospital, laid down on my bed in a lovely birthing suit, I was extremely lucky. For the women of Uganda, receiving this albeit small and basic kit I'm sure would mean the world and the more women (and men) who can get behind this wonderful movement, the better. Everyone should have the right to a clean and safe childbirth. Everyone.
You can help fundraise for these birthing kits or even get a group together to pack birthing kits. For more information on how to register, visit http://www.worldvision.com.au/vision-sisters.

My 15 Minute Rule
Many times, I've had people ask me the same question over and over again - "What makes a good movie?"
So, I thought I'd go over my general rule of thumb - "My 15 Minute Rule."
Basically, when I go into a film I give it 15 minutes to get my attention and get me interested. Think of of it more like an audition.
When you go in to audition for a role (i.e. movie, play, etc) you're only given a small amount of time to do your thing and capture the attention of the director. So, it's got to be good. And, yes - you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
So, that's how I approach my movie watching experience. If the film does not capture my attention in 15 minutes max, then I know it's really not going to be that great of a movie.
(Note: This is a general rule of thumb. Some may argue there have been good movies that get better after the first 15 minutes. Though, this has been my general experience).
For a movie to be great (in my opinion), it must capture the audience from the beginning. Period. There must be a reason for the audience to keep wanting to watch more. And, that reason usually boils down to one word - conflict.
Without conflict, there is not much reason to keep watching. Let's face it, as humans we love conflict - drama is what gets us going. And, this drama caused by conflict stirs up controversy which makes us curious. And, we all know the saying - "Curiosity kills the cat."
It's this "curiosity" that makes us want to watch more. And, a movie that can makes us want to watch more makes for a good movie. Why?
Without interest and the "want" to see more, there is no reason for us to keep watching. It's the mystery and the intrigue that really keeps us interested. And, this interest is because we care - we care what happens because of the conflict and the drama.
Here are a couple clips of some movies I've picked out. See if you can test out "My 15 Minute Rule." Does it pass the test?

I hope "My 15 Minute Rule" will help others see my thought process in evaluating and determining a good movie. I've used "My 15 Minute Rule" time and time again - it's worked for me.
In the end, it's all about entertainment. And, a movie that is entertaining is one definitely worth watching.
Happy movie watching!
p.s. Feel free to leave comments on any post either here and/or my Facebook Page. Comments are always welcome, thanks for reading!

I agree that a film needs to grab you within 15 minutes -- I'd even drop that down to 10 -- but for me, this is kind of moot anyway, because I have a personal philosophy of always finishing any film I start. Then again, as a breed, film bloggers are different from the general public, aren't we?
The real place that 15-minute rule comes into play is when it's actually a 15-page rule. My wife is in the script-vetting business, and any script that hasn't given you something solid by page 15 gets chucked out the window. (Not literally -- that would be littering.)

I have thought about dropping my rule of thumb to 10 minutes, but have stuck with 15 minutes as my general rule of thumb - it seems to be a good timeframe and works for me.
Very interesting about the 15-page rule regarding the script business, sounds similar in nature. (Liked the joke, funny!)
Thanks for reading and for stopping by!

I agree with "the 15-minute rule" but only because you`re one of the hottest chicks i`ve ever seen.

Experimental new Alzheimer's treatment could recover memory
The memories of Alzheimer's patients are forgotten but not gone, to twist a popular phrase. Now, one potential new treatment might help to recover some of those lost memories. An experimental drug has the potential to recover memory and improve cognitive function if taken early in Alzheimer's development–especially when coupled with other treatments, researchers say.
Scientists at the University of California Irvine have successfully recovered the memories of mice bred to develop age-related Alzheimer's symptoms by using an experimental drug that is being tested as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. The drug, identified as PMX205, prevents inflamed immune cells from accelerating neuron damage by congregating in areas of the brain with amyloid plaques, researchers said. Amyloid plaques are one of the most common physical brain characteristics found in Alzheimer's patients.
Over the course of a 12-week study, researchers tested the mice for cognitive ability and memory retention. Mice that received PMX205 during early stages of Alzheimer's performed nearly as well as normal mice on the tests, but mice receiving no treatment performed very poorly. When the brains of the mice were examined, researchers found up to 50% fewer Alzheimer's-related pathologies in the brains of the mice receiving PMX205 treatment. The report appears in the July 15 edition of The Journal of Immunology.

This company is doing nothing but selling a shoddy product and will not even answer emails concerning said product, which by the way is 2 stroke gasoline engine kits for bicycles... Talk about taking the money and running, this is it. Buyer be definitely be forewarned. This company will not stand behind its product.
In 2007 I was diagnosed with cancer, stopped flying commercially and needed something to do as a hobby. My brother in law showed me a bicycle he was putting together with a 2 cycle engine. I looked up the information and ordered a kit from Boygofast. I put it together and was so pleased I ordered 3 more kits. I put together 2 more bicycles and sold them. I ended up giving my brother in law the other engine in exchange for some mechanical work to my car.
In the time frame that I was doing this I ordered several parts from this company and got very fast shipments. I still have my bike and ride it once in a while. I had it stored for a whole year and it fired right up. I think they sell kits as good as any other and I never had a problem with them answering my emails. I have no complaints and if I was to order another one I would not hesitate to order from them, plus the price you cannot beat. I hope this helps any undecided buyers.

The Blake Mono Basin Mixer from Infinity boasts defined lines and will fit any mono one tap hole basin. With the beautifully designed waterfall spout, this Blake Mono Basin Mixer will look stunning in your bathroom.
This mixer tap comes complete with a click clack waste and has a stunning chrome finish.
Ceramic Disc Technology:
Infinity have created this mixer tap with durability in mind as it boasts ceramic disc technology to prevent dripping. Ceramic discs have been introduced to replace rubber washes which were prone to cracking and were common in old taps.
With old taps you'd screw the head into the body and the rubber washer would eventually wear out. This would mean that you'd have to screw the tap tighter and tighter to operate it.
Unlike rubber washers, ceramic discs only require ¼ turn of the tap to work, so will not wear out.
Versatile Tap:
This versatile basin mixer is suitable for use with all plumbing systems. It does, however, require a minimum 0.5 bar pressure system. It is compatible with a maximum 3 bar system which will provide an output of 13.5 litres per minute.
Buy With Peace of Mind:
When purchasing from Infinity you can shop with confidence as their basin taps have WRAS approved water fittings and come with a 10 year manufacturer guarantee.

Jan 10, 2013, 03:28 EST
DETROIT, Jan. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A designer's labor of love, a "one-of-one" 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 will be offered on Friday, Jan. 18, at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Ariz. The auction will be televised on Speed TV.

The car has been signed by Edsel B. Ford II, William C. Ford, Jr., and Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford Motor Company.
The Mustang is the creation of Ford designer Melvin Betancourt, a former cardiac patient who feels that he owes his life to a dedicated team of heart surgeons at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. To show his appreciation for the care he received many years ago, Betancourt focused his talents on creating the special edition Shelby GT500 to benefit the Edith and Benson Ford Heart & Vascular Institute at the hospital.
Betancourt's Shelby stays true to the spirit of the original, but with a modern, sophisticated level of performance and appearance. It is finished in a special white exterior paint scheme, with contrasting white graphics and 20" white wheels.
The racing-inspired cockpit features white leather Recaro seats with black stitching.
The Mustang has 662 horsepower, and a top speed of more than 200 mph.
It is estimated that the car will sell between $150,000 and $250,000.

Piers Morgan Signs Off Show With Desperate Gun Control Plea — Watch
Piers Morgan sat behind the desk for 'Piers Morgan Live' one last time on March 28, to say goodbye and make an emotional plea for better gun control here in the United States. Click to watch and see just how Piers said his goodbyes.
Piers Morgan, 49, had been at the helm of the live CNN show since taking it over from Larry King over three years ago. Piers said his goodbyes on the final episode, and managed to add in a long monologue about better gun control laws here in the United States before he put down the mic for good. He cited several huge cases here in the states in which massive casualties occurred at the hands of gun wheedling killers — cases he says could have been avoided.
Piers Morgan Says Goodbye To CNN Show With Plea For Better US Gun Control Laws
After spending most of his final show on missing Malaysian Airlines flight 370, the always controversial British journalist took a few minutes to talk about the overwhelming amount of gun violence here in the states.
Piers had this to say about gun control, "I assumed that after 70 people were shot in a movie theater, and then, just a few months later, 20 first-graders were murdered with an assault rifle in an elementary school, the absurd gun laws in this country would change. But nothing has happened."
"The gun lobby in America, led by the NRA, has bullied this nation's politicians into cowardly, supine silence. Even when 20 young children are blown away in their classrooms.This is a shameful situation that has made me very angry. So angry, in fact, that some people have criticized me for being too loud, opinionated, even rude when I have debated the issue of guns. But I make no apologies for that," Piers added.
His three years in the old Larry King Live time slot were marked by low ratings and his involvement in the British phone hacking scandal. Those two things didn't help his case any when producers ultimately decided to axe the show.
The 9 p.m. time slot is scheduled to be filled by various CNN anchors such as Jake Tapper and Don Lemon until a replacement is named.

Office of Energy Policy
Larry Turner Appointed to the State Energy Advisory Board
Frankfort, KY, (June 7, 2005) – Dr. Larry Turner, associate dean for extension and director of the Cooperative Extension Service of the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, has been appointed to the U.S. Department of Energy's State Energy Advisory Board (STEAB).
Dr. Turner's professional specialties include engineering planning, design and analysis in the areas of livestock environment and facilities, biological systems simulation and energy utilization and management.
STEAB develops recommendations for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Congress regarding initiation, design, implementation and evaluation of federal energy efficiency and renewable energy programs. STEAB serves to integrate and lend consistency to federal, state and local activities.
Established in 1991, STEAB advises the DOE on the operation of its federal grant programs. The board also advises the DOE on the implementation of state energy efficiency and renewable energy programs, as well as deployment of new technologies.
Board members are selected for their expertise on energy, environmental and economic issues, as well as their ability to represent the interests of state and local governments and private-sector and non-profit constituents served by DOE's programs. There are currently 19 members on the board, 4 of whom have been recently appointed.
Turner was selected to represent the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service on the Board through November 2007.
The Cooperative Extension Service has a mission of "taking the University to the people" across the Commonwealth, providing land grant university educational programs in every community.
Turner received B.S. and M.S. degrees in agricultural engineering from Purdue University in 1976 and 1978, and a Ph.D. in agricultural engineering from UK in 1984. Turner has been chairman of the Cooperative Extension Service since Jan. 1, 2002, after having served as an extension professor and chair in the Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering at UK.
