Madly Madigascar in Time For Valentine's Day
In time for Valentine's Day, 20th Century Fox and Dreamworks has released Madly Madigascar direct to DVD. With the 7 year old granddaughter living with us this looked like a great movie night option so we settled down with our favorite candy and started watching. Don and I were a bit shocked and disappointed that it was over in 22 minutes but the granddaughter wasn't phased at all. To her it was a great night with Grandpa and Grandma Dee. {Read More}

What is Aero Force Balloons?
Aero Force Balloons LLC specializes in hot air balloon flights and balloon maintenance. The owner and primary pilot is Bill Smith, a Kentucky native born in Louisville in 1952; his wife Janet is the crew chief. Married since 1972, they work as a team flying AERO FORCE ONE.
What are the specifications on the balloon?
Their main balloon is an Aerostar Model S-57A that is emblazoned with a patriotic red, white, and blue color scheme. Interestingly, the fabric for the balloon was on the manufacturer's cutting table during the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, and the finished balloon was first flown at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta on October 6 shortly after the FAA's flying restrictions were lifted. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, this balloon was cheered by the huge Fiesta crowd as it came to life, symbolizing our national pride and resolve. With an internal volume of 90,000 cubic feet, standing over 65 feet tall, and weighing 765 pounds, AERO FORCE ONE can carry a payload of 885 pounds (usually a pilot and three passengers.)
So, who pilots this balloon?
Bill was in the military for 30 years and has an extensive background in aviation. He enlisted into the Kentucky Air National Guard, U. S. Air Force in 1972 as a Life Support specialist. There he inspected and maintained parachutes, restraint harnesses, oxygen equipment, survival kits, and other critical life-sustaining equipment for aircrew flying F-4 Phantom and F-101 Voodoo fighter jets. In 1988, he became the superintendent of the 123d Combat Control Team and supervised the 25-member special operations unit. During that assignment, he made 246 static line and free fall parachute jumps from a wide variety of military cargo aircraft and helicopters. In 1999, he was appointed fire chief at the Kentucky Air National Guard Base at Louisville International Airport. He retired in February 2003 at the rank of Chief Master Sergeant and is now focusing full-time on ballooning. He has an FAA commercial pilot rating and has accrued over 1000 hours in hot air balloons.
Aero Force Balloons LLC is recognized in the Louisville ballooning community for its leadership. The company was honored in 2004 with a coveted
Pinnacle Award
from the International Festival and Exhibitors Association for the
"Best Educational Program"
after visiting numerous elementary schools in conjunction with the Kentucky Derby Festival and Kentucky Underground Protection, Inc. In 2005, the Aero Force One Balloon Team hosted a safety seminar for over 80 local balloonists. Members of the team belong to the Balloon Society of Kentucky and Bill served as
of the organization from 2004-2009. He also has a number of top finishes in local competitive ballooning events.
Where can you find Bill?
When he's not flying, Bill can be found working on hot air balloons. As the owner of Aero Force Balloons Repair Station, he inspects and maintains balloons as small as a one-man "Cloud Hoppers" to mammoth 20-passenger systems.

What are Primates?
Primates include the apes (such as chimpanzees and gorillas), monkeys (such as macaques and marmosets), prosimians (such as lemurs and lorises) and tarsiers. These are all collectively often referred to as non-human primates. Humans are also primates. Primates are grouped together because they share many important similarities; these similarities occur because they are all closely related in evolutionary terms (they all evolved from common ancestors).
This close evolutionary relationship is in fact why primates are often so vital in research to improve human health. Before medicines can be made for human use, we need to know if they are likely to be effective, and also if they are likely to be safe. If new medicines work in non-human primates, and are safe, we can expect that they have a very good chance of being safe and effective in humans.

A Tribute to Joe Rizzo
The news hit me hard as I started to think about the times we've spent together, the good times, the bad times and all the times in between, when we were younger, in the days of peace and love, the rock n roll days, the days of protest, free love and along with the burning of bras, there was a burning desire to prove to the world we knew how to fix it, fix all the issues with just two words; peace and love. It was a time when everyone over the age of 25 was the adversary, the enemy, unless proven otherwise. It was the sixties and I was considered a hippy to most of the older generation, as my hair dangled down and at times and I had facial hair which encouraged their thinking. I never considered myself a hippy, because I didn't believe in all they believed in and I considered myself a leader and not a follower. So I was a non conformist even to the hippies. I was never into drugs nor was I into living in a commune which I felt downgraded one self and cultivated disease, both venereal and other nasty infections, I had no intention of having contact with.
It was the mid sixties and I was entering my upper teenage years, a time in one's life when you learn things your parents never mentioned, or at least my parents never did, a time when you had enormous energy and you felt, you could accomplish just about anything you tried, because you are not a little kid anymore, you can sit with the grownups at the dinner table at family functions and you didn't have to sit with your younger cousins, who to me, felt like they just stopped kicking s_ _t out of their diapers. No-no not me I was a grown up now. I was 17 going on 25, or so I thought. That is when I met Joe Rizzo another person like myself, with similar likes and dislikes, and oh yes, another musician and he became the keyboardist in the band I was in and we ended up playing for 8 years together.
When I found out, 2 1/2 years ago, another member of the band has passed. This makes the fourth band member to leave his musical talents behind and head to the next journey, his afterlife. Of all the band members that passed Joe Rizzo, to me should have been the last one of us to go. He was too young to die, 51, and out of everyone that ever played in the band, he was the most honorable one. The man never took home a groupie and he always sent home his paycheck. You see Joe had to take care of his family since he was 17. His father left for a younger woman and left his mom with 3 young children, (Joe was the oldest), no income and a mortgage to fend for themselves. Joe's mom had a nervous breakdown, which left Joe at the age of 17, to be the man of the house and take care of everything, including his mom. Joe was in the band at the time and when we heard the news we knew it was time to make money, serious money fast.
So in 1970 the band, the Koloring Book, started performing in local clubs and every party and function we could find. Within months Joe started to earn a pay check to keep the household going, while the rest of the band spent their money partying and buying useless stuff that probably ended in the Islip, NY landfill. By the time Joe and I were 20 years old we were making in the neighborhood of 25 to 35 thousand dollars a year, while the median income for the working man was 10 to 15 thousand. Every week when I paid Joe he never spent his money frivolously or on himself, he spent it on the necessary things a family man would spend it on. He managed to save enough to send his little brother to a music college while Joe, who had natural talent beyond words never, could afford to go as he was saddled down with running the household.
While Joe was taking care of everything like a father would his mom would leave the house for weeks at a time and hussy herself around all the bars on Long Island. She never got over her husband leaving. Because of the life he was leading he never found time for himself or to find his soul mate, he never married. Joe's entire life was hard and taking a toll on him as he, himself started acting neurotic and the other band members would begin teasing him, which is in despicable to me. Joe was probably the kindest person I have ever met, he sure gave more than he ever received on this earth, and on his birthday, I felt the need to pay a tribute to the boy, who had to become a man before his time. I miss you Joe and I know your siblings think the world of you. So until we have a chance to meet again, God bless you.

Blue Cross Heart Mate 1000 Series
- Superior quality sphygmomanometer
- Stainless steel pressure gauge
- Pressure gauge calibrated at 300 mmHg
- Speedy and accurate readings
- Flexible single lumen PVC tubing
- Complete manual inflation system
- Adjustable velcro pressure cuffs
- Handy leather pouch
The ANEROID SPHYGMOMANOMETER is used to measure the pressure of your blood in either hospital or home
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of arteries.
Blood pressure is recorded as two (2) numbers:
1. SYSTOLIC PRESSURE (top number) - shows the pressure in your arteries when your heart is forcing blood through them (as the heart beats). Can be anywhere from 90 to 240 mmHg
2. DIASTOLIC PRESSURE (bottom number) - shows the presure in your arteries when your heart relaxes. Can be anywhere from 60 to 140 mmHg
Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (Hg), which is written down as mmH
Blood pressure is a very important vital sign; if it is high it can lead to many negative health effects including heart attack, stroke and kidney failure.
Effect of High Blood Pressure on your body:
Brain: Most important risk factor for stroke.
Heart: Number one risk factor for congestive heart failure (CHF). CHF is a serious condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to supply the body's needs.
Kidneys: It can narrow and thicken the blood vessesls of the kidneys. The kidneys filter less fluid, and waste builds up in the blood. The kidneys may fail altogether.
Eyes: It can eventually cause blood vessels in the eye to burst or bleed.
Blood pressure varies from individual to individual and is dependent upon a number of factors such as age, weight, physical condition, or gender.
The average normal reading for an adult between the ages of 18 and 45 is 120/80 mmHg.
Tips for having your blood pressure taken:
* Don't drink coffee or smoke cigarettes 30 minutes before having your blood pressure measured.
* Before the test, sit for five minutes with your back supported and your feet flat on the ground. Rest your arm on a table at the level of your heart.
* Wear short sleeves so your arm is exposed.
* Get two (2) readings, taken at least 5 minutes apart, and average the results.
* Ask the doctor or nurse to tell you the blood pressure reading in numbers.

Paramagnetic contrast agents
Paramagnetic contrast agents are use to enhance MRI images and display areas of hypervascularity and associated pathology. They have their strongest effect in T1 weighted imaging because they predominantly alter the T1 relaxation time in the tissues in which they have accumulated.
MRI imaging relies upon the signal generated from the behaviour of water protons. The relaxation of these water protons is affected by surrounding tissues and, when a paramagnetic contrast agent has been absorbed in its vicinity, the relaxation of water protons is enhanced.
The paramagnetic contrast agents generate a magnetic field 1000 times stronger than water protons. The interaction between the contrast agent and the water proton is exactly the same as the corresponding interactions with other molecules except that the magnitude of their magnetic interaction has a much greater effect on the relaxation time.
Commonly used contrast agents include:
- Gadovist®
- MultiHance®
- Omniscan®
- OptiMARK®.
There is an association between the use of paramagnetic contrast agents in patients with renal failure and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF).

A delicious, hearty One Pot Corn and Crab Chowder can just the comfort food to turn a rainy cold day from drab to fab…or at least a better day. Chopping up a few vegetables and throwing some good quality ingredients into a pot is all it really takes to make a tasty homemade soup will leave your belly full and have your hubby going back for seconds. Plus, with the cost of a decent canned soup at $3-4, you may as well make your own and it will healthier and taste a lot better too!

Ugh! Another cold, windy, rainy day here in the Northeast! You need comfort food on a rainy day. This is one of the few things I do not like about living in the north…consecutive days without sun. But, having a nice homemade bowl of soup helps perk up my winter blues. When is spring coming?
This corn chowder with crab is comfort food by definition. It embodies the flavors we like to eat in the winter- bacon, potatoes, and corn. Well, bacon we like to eat all year, along with the potatoes and corn but, it is especially nice combination in the cold winter months when paired with sweet crab.
This soup has some prep time but, making a one pot soup helps with clean up. The most time you'll spend making this recipe is prepping the vegetables. It lasts for days in the refrigerator and can be frozen for another day. This recipe also makes about 12 servings.
This One Pot Corn and Crab Chowder is as belly filling as is my One Pot Ham Potato and Bean Soup and Easy Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Rosemary and Ginger. You may want to keep these recipes on hand for when you get addicted to homemade soup.
How to Make One Pot Corn and Crab Chowder
The full recipe is at the bottom of this post.
First, cook the chopped bacon in a big non-stick stock pot.
Then, add chopped onions, celery, potatoes, corn, carrots and seasonings.
Next, add some flour and chicken stock and let that cook for a while.
Finally, add the cream, milk and the crab meat and let it cook for 20 more minutes.
That's it. Pretty easy huh?

A homemade corn chowder with crab soup taste so much better than any canned soup. That's my honest opinion. You will spoil your family with homemade soup. It's hard to go back to canned soup after having a tasty homemade soup.
Try this recipe for One Pot Ham Potato and Bean Soup if you need convincing.
Summer corn takes this soup to the next level. If you have any in your freezer, add it instead of canned or frozen corn from the grocery store.
I once made this soup with fresh lump crab that I cooked and peeled myself instead of using the canned crab meat and it was incredibly good! You can also use a pint of heavy cream instead of half milk and half cream, but I just couldn't bare all of those extra calories and fat.
A fresh piece of homemade Artisan bread is perfect to eat with this soup and makes for a complete meal as far as I'm concerned. See this link: How to Make No Knead Artisan Crusty Bread in 10 min!
So, when you need comfort food on a rainy day, this One Pot Corn and Crab Chowder hits the spot every time. It's a tasty alternative to canned soup that your family will surely love. Warm up with delicious soup!
I took this recipe to Meal Plan Monday #95.

(Reuters) - A huge fire ripped through a section of General Electric's Louisville, Kentucky, facility used for warehousing and offices on Friday, the company said.
No one was injured in the blaze, according to city officials. Smoke from the fire at GE's Appliance Park could be seen more than 10 miles (16 km) away, and debris from the building was found more than half-mile away from it.
Televised aerial footage showed a raging fire, dense dark smoke and collapsed building walls.
City officials ordered a shelter-in-place warning for those living within a half-mile of the facility, and GE evacuated the remaining buildings in the 900 acre (365-hectare) complex, company spokeswoman Kim Freeman said.
The Louisville Zoo, located nearby, was closed on Friday due to the fire and also heavy rains.
"Smoke clouds came directly over the zoo, and we are making sure the animals and staff are safe and putting animals inside for the day," said zoo spokesman Kyle Shepherd.
The fire was contained to a warehouse and office building, Freeman said. No production took place in that building, she added.
GE also said it leased out office space in the park to Derby Industries LLC, a packaging and warehousing service provider. Derby id not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The blaze occurred at the same time heavy rains caused flash flooding that forced public schools to be canceled on Friday.
Jody Martin, a spokeswoman for Louisville's emergency management agency, said the weather did not hinder firefighters' efforts.
Last year, GE announced the sale of its century-old appliance and lighting division to Electrolux for $3.3 billion. That deal is expected to close later this year.

Middle Class Key to Rise of Manufacturing in Central Mexico
Commentary by John Paul McDaris
Much has been written about Mexico's growing middle class. This New York Times cover article is just one recent example. It looks at how the level of jobs in Mexico manufacturing plants has risen, with respect to the technical expertise and know-how required. The days of sole focus was on low-skilled, grinding assembly work are long gone. Now the issue is whether Mexico can respond to the growing need for educated labor.
On a recent visit in which Entrada Group led a group of American manufacturing C-level executives on a tour of central Mexico locations, we saw some incredible examples of on-the-job technical training that companies are offering, both to train from within and also to reward top performers. Training programs, whether led by the state or the companies themselves, are truly cutting edge, indicating the commitment to respond to the demand for skilled talent.
On that same trip, we visited Guanajuato's inland port park in Silao. We got an external view of the Volkswagen and Pirelli plants, both of which were enormous. When you see in person the plants the largest manufacturers in the world are setting up in central Mexico, it is even more meaningful than reading news stories about billions and billions of dollars being invested here – seeing is believing. The investments are here and they are still growing. That's why many are optimistic about growing opportunities for Mexico's middle class.
Companies like Pirelli and Volkswagen go so far as to send indirects (and even directs in some cases) to Europe for training. This is necessary because skilled labor in Guanajuato is still at a premium with talented engineers hard to come by. So these companies are letting the state develop their own labor long-term, but for immediate needs they are training on their own, even if it entails a trip to Europe.
Of course with growth of the Mexican middle class, additional opportunities to tap into the Mexican domestic market arise. Personally, I get the sense that Mexicans working in the auto industry feel they are increasingly making products for their neighbors, rather than some far-off consumer they would never meet in the US or Europe.

Handymen come to the fore as grocery delivery turns sour
Facebook, which started listing services this month, may have an edge due to its wide user base. There are also apps that aims to eliminate the need to download multiple appsbusiness Updated: Apr 26, 2016 20:51 IST
The home-service delivery market — where the average age of most of the companies such as Housejoy, UrbanClap, QuikrServices, and LocalOy is about two years or less — is seeing entry from many players, including global social networking giant Facebook.
There are new challenges as well, such as finding workers with the right skills, ensuring safety of workers and clients, and delivering the services professionally.
"At present, this sector is at its nascent stage," said PD Sundar, head of QuikrServices, which offers hyper-local services. "But over time some consolidation can be expected." QuikrServices receives over 100,000 consumer requests every day, and has over 250,000 independent service providers offering over 80 services.
Facebook, which started listing services this month, may have an edge due to its wider user base. "We're testing a way for people to easily find more pages for the services they are interested in," a Facebook spokesperson said.
Saran Chatterjee, CEO of Housejoy, which focusses exclusively on home-delivery services, said the most important factor in this segment is satisfying users with good experience.
Housejoy conducts skill-development programme for service providers. It has tied up with background-checking company BetterPlace to verify service providers. It also has an SOS option on the app, which can be used by the service provider or the client, if something goes wrong.
"The market has always existed, though it is unorganised. It's massive and the demand is huge," said Chatterjee. Operational in 13 cities, Housejoy, which has raised about $27 million ( Rs 180 crore), estimates the size of the market to be more than $10 billion (Rs 66,000 crore) a year.
According to skilled workers, such platforms also nurture micro-entrepreneurship opportunities. For instance, Vanita Kalsanwar, who works as a beautician on such a platform, said she enjoys the flexibility of working hours, and earns up to Rs 25,000 a month compared to around Rs 17,000 earlier.
There are also apps, such as Helpchat, which aims to eliminate the need to download multiple apps. Helpchat learns about the service providers on multiple platforms, and suggests the suitable ones.
"We are India's answer to Facebook and Google, which are unable to understand and process the peculiar Indian content," said Kali Charan Shukla, vice-president, marketing, Helpchat, which has about 1.5 million downloads within a year.

If you love the cast of Riverdale and their twisted, dark and complicated characters on the show, then you're going to love the actors who play them in real life.
Whether you're a fan of Bughead or not-so-secretly want to be BFFs with Betty and Veronica, you're sure to be even more obsessed with the cast after chekcing out their epic social media accounts.
Lili Reinhardt, AKA Betty Cooper, for example loves to tweet about food and therefore we want to be her best friend ASAP. KJ Apa, AKA Archie Andrews, on the other hand is all about funny faces and random thoughts on social media, which is somehow even more attractive than when Archie tries to stand up for his girl or blindly follows Jughead into a dark scenario.
As for the other stars of Riverdale, they are all equally as witty on social media and if we're being honest we'd take a Twitter tutorial from all of them in an instant. To see which of the co-stars has the funniest tweets and Instagram posts, check out just a few examples of things that've they've previously posted before below. After scrolling through the LOL-worthy posts, vote for your favorite Riverdale social media star in our poll below!
Lili Reinhardt:
If tweets about food—mainly ice cream—are your jam, then Reinhardt is the Riverdale vixen you should be following. She loves food, seriously loves it, and it's all too relatable. Plus, her funny content stretches to hilarious commentary on the show and what she sees out and about.

The former Disney Channel star is probably one of the funniest guys on Twitter...period. He isn't afraid to tell it like it is while posing great questions about popular topics that you will be laughing at for a long time. Oh, and when he's not chatting about current events, he's trolling his twin brother Dylan Sprouse and their twin tweets are too much.
Could you imagine loving and raising a child only to have that child record a live concert on their phone?— Cole M. Sprouse (@colesprouse) April 15, 2018
So I'm confused, was Chamillionare named because of how much money he has, or because he owns millions of chameleons?— Cole M. Sprouse (@colesprouse) March 27, 2018

I'm just out here trying to make sure Dylan and I never lose our joint Wikipedia page.— Cole M. Sprouse (@colesprouse) March 1, 2017
KJ Apa:
Apa, who plays everyone's favorite redhead in Riverdale, loves to make silly faces on both his social media accounts and his friends' pages and they are priceless. Plus, he pretty much tweets whatever random thing comes into his head, which is just like us.
"If it makes you feel any better, I don't have any chest hair and girls love me." - @colesprouse— KJ Apa (@kj_apa) January 18, 2018
I wish I could smell my own head— KJ Apa (@kj_apa) November 2, 2017

Madelaine Petsch:
Just like her character Cheryl, Petsch is complicated and diverse in what she tweets, but there is one thing we can't get enough of: her Riverdale commentary GIFs and captions. She says what we were thinking and yet makes it way funnier.

It's a new year, which means I need to rewatch Harry Potter, because science.⚡— Madelaine Petsch (@madelainepetsch) January 15, 2018
Casey Cott:
Cott is still getting used to fame and he uses Twitter to talk about it. And yes, fans can be wild and have great encounters that we luckily get to learn about from this star. He also retweets awesome quotes from his cast mates and shares food thoughts and he just gets us.
Happy Valentine's Day to the Reese's Blizzard I just put down during lunch.— Casey Cott (@CaseyCott) February 14, 2018
Hangry Hippos: 17 and older.— Casey Cott (@CaseyCott) January 25, 2018

Las Vegas is truly a spectacle with a side of chicken fingers and cigarette smoke.— Casey Cott (@CaseyCott) September 24, 2017
Camila Mendes:
B and V might be BFFs on screen, but Mendes' social media account is very different than Reinhardt's accounts. Mendes, who plays Veronica Lodge, loves to mix her own thoughts about what could be happening on the show with throwback thoughts on life moments and they are worth scrolling through.

Charles Melton:
Melton, who plays Reggie Mantle, is more of an Instagram guy. He frequently posts funny photos of himself and his friends, all of which lead us to ask, "What on earth is happening here?" Plus, he has no shame when it comes to being a goofball on set or in real life.

Vanessa Morgan:
As a Southside Serpent, you'd think Morgan, who plays Toni Topaz, would have a tough Twitter account, but you'd be wrong. Instead it's full of dog pictures and funny captions about her dog and we can't get enough.

I've noticed there's a torrent site that I'm not a member to which actually has quick leaks (albeit fake with SMG) I go by Mysticcal on Blackcats and Demonoid. I'm not a bad seeder, wish it wasn't an invite only tracker, but it seems I'll ask here. Sigh, really wish I didn't have to ask here.

THE Great British Bake Off said "ciao" to the seventh baker to be eliminated from the show during the first ever Italian week.
Yan, a 46-year-old scientist from north London, praised her wife of 17 years for her support during the competition, and for keeping her grounded when it became "overwhelming".
She described the Italian theme as a "bootcamp for bakers" and struggled while making classic Sicilian cannoli in the signature challenge, her pastry offerings pretty much falling apart in judge Prue Leith's hands.
In the technical challenge, which saw the six remaining bakers tasked with having to create the perfect margherita pizza, Yan came in fifth place due to underbaked dough.
And in the tricky signature challenge – dubbed "pure murder" by Leith – Yan's batch of 24 sfogliatella, shell-shaped filled pastries from Campania, failed to impress.
Judge Paul Hollywood critiqued them as "quite raw", and Leith said she was "a bit disappointed" in them, and that they were a "mess".
Yan said of her experience in the series: "From the very moment I stepped into the tent, and started competing against so many great bakers, it really lifted my game.
"It's about making yourself better, and we all wanted to nurture our talent collectively."

What Authors Are Saying About Talk to the Author!
"When I was studying journalism, we were taught the five w's and the h: Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. Your interview asked a good many "why's," something that isn't often asked any more. You made me think more carefully and, as a result, your interview was very interesting and got a lot more information from me than others might. In addition, I felt very comfortable because of the supportive atmosphere you created." Hildred Corbett – Michigan
Hi Mamie,
"Thank you! I loved how you talked about the story and characters. It was obvious you read it thoughtfully. I really enjoyed our conversation and some of my friends and family did too!
I have a student who has written a book. I'm hoping to get a copy from her to show you soon. Maybe you can interview her as well."
Cathy Zucker – Rochester Hills, Michigan
Bless you Mamie! What a wonderful piece you did on my books! You saw exactly what I wanted the books to do, make people think about how glorious the Almighty's creations are and His willingness to let His creatures venture out on their own. I am very excited to be doing your radio show. Is that webpage up and running so I can spread the news among my followers etc.? I don't want to steal your thunder but help promote.

The Governing Body
Mrs B Thomas-Cleaver – Chair of Governors
Mrs L Harper – Headteacher
Mr R Barker – Vice chair of Governors
Mrs L Llewellyn – Community Governor
Rev. Hugh John Wilson – Community Governor
Cllr Tim Evans – Governor
Mrs L Jenkins – Parent Governor
Mrs E Booth – Parent Governor
Mr P Rutherford – Parent Governor
Mr J Kahn – Parent Governor
Mrs C Ball – Observer
Miss A George – Staff Governor
Miss S Harries – Support Staff Governor
From time to time, vacancies occur for parent representatives on the Governing Body. Any parent of a pupil registered at the school is eligible to stand as a candidate. All parents of children at the school have the opportunity to participate in the election if one is deemed necessary. The election will take the form of a secret ballot and parents are able to vote returning the ballot paper to school in a sealed envelope marked 'voting paper', with a pupil or by post. The LEA will make the necessary arrangements for the election. Arrangements are made for the election of parent governors one school term before a parent governor's term of office expires, or on receipt of a resignation. Information about parent elections is sent to parents via pupil post.
The Governing Body has the collective and legal responsibility for the overall direction of the school and its strategic management. This includes the effective financial management of the school's delegated budget and the responsibility for ensuring that the school's financial resources are utilised in support of improving learner outcomes in the most effective and efficient way.
The Governor Guide aims to provide Governors with information and guidance to assist with this important role and gives an overview of school finance, Governors' responsibilities, what should be happening and when, as well as useful points of reference.

10. Condominiums in Ottawa offer some of the most spectacular views! Imagine waking up every morning to a picturesque view of Parliament Hill or the Rideau Canal.
9. Condominiums are great for individuals and couples who are downsizing. Remember that, while the unit you are purchasing may be smaller in square footage and comparable in price to the home you are selling, the luxuriousness, lifestyle benefits and location more than make up for the difference.
8. Condos are a great alternative for people who travel a lot. The care and maintenance of owning a home can be daunting when you are away a great deal.
7. Condos require less maintenance than a single family home. You are responsible for your unit, while the management company care for the grounds and building exterior.
6. A condo would be a great investment for your university-bound child to live in. Instead of paying rent, you could be building equity in an investment property.
5. Many condos offer underground parking, a real luxury in our Canadian winters.
4. Each condominium complex has different amenities, which may include a pool, sauna, fitness center, 24-hour security and more.
3. Owing a condo in the downtown area offers many alternatives to owning a car, including walking and public transit.
2. Condos come in all shapes and sizes – from a small studio apartment to a large four-bedroom penthouse suite.
And Bill's number 1 benefit to owning a condominium in the Ottawa area is…
1. Condominium ownership is all about lifestyle. If you like long walks on the Rideau Canal and being close to Ottawa's Elgin Street nightlife, you might choose to live in a condominium complex along the canal. If, on the other hand, you prefer a more secluded residential area, with the option of a short drive to Ottawa's downtown core, you might choose a condo in Ottawa's west end. Whatever your ideal lifestyle, there is sure to be an Ottawa condo that meets your personal requirements. This is the beauty of condo living.

(From io9) It was a project eight years in the making—well, technically nine now. One LEGO fan has built his own Star Trek Klingon Bird of Prey using about 25,000 blocks, based on a virtual blueprint he started all the way back in 2008.
Kevin J. Walter from Germany recently unveiled his completed Bird of Prey, inspired by the famous Klingon warship from Star Trek. It's based on a virtual design he created between 2008 and 2010. While that conceptual version used over 250,000 blocks, the real thing required about one-tenth of that. It's about 71 cm. long, 42 cm. wide, and 86 cm. wide, including the stand.
Walter said his next goal is to finish his build of Barad-dûr (you know, the Eye of Sauron thing), which will be about 150,000 pieces by the time it's done. He's been working on that one for over six years, and hopes to finish it in time for Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers' 15th anniversary in 2017.

This series, brought to you by Yahoo! Finance, looks at which upgrades and downgrades make sense and which ones investors should act on. Today, our headlines feature upgrades for retailers J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP) and Office Depot (NASDAQ:ODP), but a downgrade for e-tailer Groupon (NASDAQ:GRPN). Let's dive right in.
Beginning with Groupon...
Online deals site Groupon beat estimates in its Q1 earnings release yesterday, but that isn't saving the stock from a real shellacking in early Wednesday trading. Shares are down more than 19% already in response to worries, voiced by analysts at Northland Capital today, that increasing sales of "Groupon Goods" may not be as good news as they seem.
Goods sales helped Groupon beat sales and earnings estimates yesterday, but StreetInsider.com reports that Northland is concerned about Groupon's increasing reliance on a "much lower-margin business" of selling stuff rather than services. It says: "Without meaningful progress on both Local growth and Goods margins[, earnings targets] may be challenging to achieve." What's more, "continued aggressive marketing will be needed to meaningfully" improve sales. And since such spending would increase costs, it might do little to improve profit margins.
Granted, it's not all bad news at Groupon. While the company lost money last year, it's losing a bit less money than analysts had worried it might lose. And free cash flow, pegged at $125.5 million over the past 12 months by S&P Capital IQ, is still positive.
The real problem, though, is that even this robust rate of cash production leaves Groupon stock selling for about 30 times free cash flow. That isn't exactly cheap if profits grow, as expected, at 26% annually over the next five years. It could even be expensive if free cash flow continues to contract, as it has done over the past two years. Long story short, Northland's decision to downgrade Groupon to "market perform" is probably the right one.
Bad Penney turning up?
If there's one nice thing we can say about Groupon, though, it's that at least the company is doing better than J.C. Penney. Burning cash, unprofitable, and expected by most analysts to experience deepening losses over the next five years, with no end in sight, Penney looks like a bit of a basket case. And yet, this morning, investment banker UBS announced it is upgrading the stock to neutral, while Piper Jaffray has just reiterated its rating of buy. Why?
Piper insists that Penney, priced at less than $9 today, is worth at least $11 a share. According to the analyst, J.C. Penney still has an "opportunity to improve their sales and margins, and ultimately, their cash flow over time."
Believe it or not, Piper could be right about that -- but still wrong about its rating. If J.C. Penney were to close down operations and liquidate its assets at book value (the stock currently trades for just 0% of book), that would result in a valuation 25% higher than today's -- and a share price of about the $11 Piper is projecting. And as for the "opportunity of improvement," well, with a profit margin of negative 11.7% and operating cash flow of negative $1.8 billion, there's certainly room for improvement at J.C. Penney. Were Penney to go out of business, at least its profit margins and cash burn would "improve" to zero.
The bad news is, the longer J.C. Penney remains in business, the less its assets seem to be worth. In my view, that's hardly an argument in favor of buying the stock.
Office Depot gets a beat and a raise
Finally, Office Depot. This retailer reported a nice earnings beat yesterday -- $0.07 per share when analysts were only looking for $0.03 in profit. Revenues, too, exceeded the consensus. Perhaps best of all, Office Depot offered optimistic guidance for the rest of the year, saying "adjusted" operating income will likely exceed $160 million this year, $20 million more than previously hoped for. "Synergies" -- cost savings -- from the merger with OfficeMax are also looking to be better than previously anticipated.
In response to all this good news, Credit Suisse announced this morning that it's upgrading Office Depot shares to outperform, while Jefferies & Co. raised its price target on the stock to $5.25 per share and forecast "a string of beats ahead."
Jefferies estimates that Office Depot could earn $0.21 this year, then $0.27 in 2015.Other analysts see the company earning even more in 2015 ($0.32 per share is the consensus), and with earnings growing to $0.67 by 2018, according to S&P Capital IQ data. If the analysts are right, the Office Depot of just a few years from now could be a firm eight times more profitable than the company we see here today.
My take? The future's uncertain, and the future of retailers in an age of e-tailers is especially so. That said, the supercharged earnings estimates we're hearing, and the growth rate they imply, suggest that Office Depot shares may not be as overpriced as they look today. Until the company actually starts earning positive profits, it has to be considered speculative, but my hunch is that this is one speculation that could reward Office Depot shareholders quite richly.
Rich Smith has no position in any stocks mentioned, and neither does The Motley Fool.

there's a theme here somewhere
When I look over the photos I've taken with my iPhone this year this is pretty much what I found:
Boy. And spoon. Don't ask.
Boy and cat. And bunny ears. And overflowing Lego.
Boy and cat. Possessive aren't we?
Cat and boy. Cat hogging the bed. Actually it's the stuffed animals that hog the bed.
Pretty much standard routine.
Boy on the phone with Daddy on one of his trips to Florida. Cat says "mine, all mine."
Boy and, oh wait, that's not a cat. I think it's a cow. (Let me introduce you to my brother's dog Mya, the best canine on the planet.)
And the best feline ever. Wants a belly rub. Where's the boy?
Taking his own photos of the cat, of course. (With his iPod.)
Same day, same beam of sunshine. And his pic is better than mine. D'oh.

By Brian Maass
DENVER (CBS4)– A former worker at Denver International Airport pleaded guilty this morning in connection with charges he looted passengers' bags and stole guns out of their luggage.
Court records show Melvin Deandre Lewis, 24, pleaded guilty Monday morning to a misdemeanor theft charge and a felony charge of violating the pawnbrokers act. A felony theft count was dropped as part of the agreement.
CBS4 had reported that Lewis worked for Air Serv, a vendor that handles bags and other services for airlines. Denver police believed Lewis opened United Airlines passengers checked bags and stole firearms in April and on two occasions in May.
He denied all that when confronted by CBS4.
"No that was never me… that's not me," said Lewis. "I never took anything out of no bag. I'm not really worried about it."
Air Serv fired Lewis and his security badge was revoked June 1.
Lewis is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 29.
CBS4 Investigator Brian Maass has been with the station more than 30 years uncovering waste, fraud and corruption. Follow him on Twitter @Briancbs4.

Water from a Website Auction
It's with great pleasure (and not a little trepidation) that I'm finally able to announce the Train-ee "Water from a Website" auction. My hope is that by the end of the event on May 9th, a church will get the ExpressionEngine-based website built during the Building a Church Website tutorial series and we will have raised enough money to fully fund a fresh water well through charity:water.
I say "we" because I need your help.
To see a short video I put together, learn more about the project and the different ways you can help head over to the Water from a Website section.
Auction Teaser and Giveway
As a teaser to the upcoming Train-ee Church website auction, I just started tracking how many times my wife, two children and myself, use water in one day. Note that this isn't how much water we use, just the number of times we use a sink, flush a toilet, use the shower, run the wash machine, etc.
So I thought I'd turn this into a little teaser and give-away.
Leave a comment with a guess in this post until 2:00 ET on 4/24. Whoever comes closest will win your choice of any one book or screencast here on Train-ee.com. If multiple people guess the same correct answer I'll put your names in a hat and draw one winner.
Train-ee Student: 6 Month Checkup
Have you been checking one of the upcoming Train-ee classes and wondering if it would be worth it? I mean really, wouldn't it just be better to turn the whole class into a bunch of screencasts so you could stay nicely tucked away in your cozy hi-tech enclave? ;) I've just received an update from Ryan Battles - who was in the inaugural Train-ee class in September of 2008. Read on for his review of the experience six months later.
Win Train-ee Materials @ EETemplates
Marcus over at EETemplates is having a bit of a giveaway - and in addition to some EE product, template sets and Packt Press books you can also win some Train-ee materials. Full details of the contest are here.

What is Bunny Suicides? Well, it's a cartoon showing rabbits aka bunnies trying to end their lives in dramatic ways, like smoking lots of cigarettes, using a toaster etc. The interesting thing about this cartoon is that it's a one picture story so the ending is left to the reader's imagination (which wasn't that hard to guess what happened anyway).
