People First and Knights of Columbus team up to serve people with disabilities in Colville
People First believes one thing: people first, disabilities second.
"We might have disabilities, but before everything else, we're people," said Danny Holmes, the president of People First in Colville. Holmes founded the Colville branch of People First 11 years ago and is the treasurer for People First at the state level. He founded the Colville chapter because he saw a need in the community.
"There was a People First in Kettle Falls, but there were enough people with disabilities in Colville itself to form our own," Holmes said. Holmes saw that founding a Colville chapter would make it easier for people with disabilities in Colville to access People First's service and also serve in the community themselves.

We have big news...
Saturday, August 8, 2015
Baby Hamilton is on the way!
Our little one is due February 1, 2016 and we could not be more excited! Alex and I are bursting with love and joy, and humbled that God has given us this miracle. God's perfect plan and timing never cease to amaze me!
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. - Proverbs 139:13-16

Tom Vilsack, the U.S. agriculture secretary, said on Tuesday that the construction of the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility should move forward and that it is important to ensure a safe and adequate food supply.
Vilsack spoke about the facility on Tuesday after a Landon Lecture, Associated Press reports.
Kansas was awarded the project in 2010 to replace an aging USDA facility at Plum Island, N.Y. with a brand new $650 million research facility near Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan. The lab would hold research on deadly agricultural pathogens.
The proposed 2013 federal budget does not contain funding for the NBAF's construction and calls for a reassessment by the Department of Homeland Security. The budget does include $10 million to start transferring some research from the old facility to Kansas State's Biosecurity Research Institute.
"We're going to continue to work with members of Congress to figure out how and when, with difficult and tight budgets, we can fund this," Vilsack said, according to Associated Press.
Critics of the facility have said that moving research of this kind to the mainland could put the food supply and security of the nation at risk. Vilsack said that a new risk assessment report puts the chance of releasing a deadly animal pathogen such as foot-and-mouth disease at one tenth of a percent.
The National Academy of Sciences will hold a public hearing on Friday in Washington to discuss the NBAF.

Israel said late Sunday it was lifting a ban imposed last month on private imports of cement to the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.
"In accordance with the security assessment and the understandings reached with the international community, as of today Sunday May 22 the re-entry of cement into Gaza has been approved," said a statement from the government body responsible for implementing policies in the Palestinian territories, COGAT.
The ban was imposed in early April, with Israel accusing Imad al-Baz, deputy director of the Hamas economy ministry, of diverting supplies.
"The exploitation by Hamas is a severe violation of the construction mechanism and the agreement between COGAT, the Palestinian Authority and the United Nations," said Sunday's English-language statement, in response to an AFP query.
Al-Baz has denied the allegation, saying that the imports were conducted in line with a UN-brokered Gaza Reconstruction Mechanism, aimed at allowing for reconstruction following a devastating 2014 war with Israel.
Over 1.2 million tons of construction materials have entered Gaza since the mechanism was set up in 2014.
According to an Israeli official, 80 truckloads of cement enter Gaza weekly, each one carrying 40 tonnes.
Israel has imposed a blockade on Gaza since 2006. Palestinian militants in Gaza and the Jewish state have fought three wars since 2008.
In recent months, Hamas has been accused of rebuilding tunnels destroyed in 2014 that could be used to attack Israel. Hamas officials say any such tunnels would be defensive in nature.

Meakins-Christie Laboratories Research Directors and Advisory Board
Peter T Macklem (1972-1979)
Joseph Milic-Emili (1979-1994)
James G Martin (1994 – 2008)
Qutayba Hamid (2008 – 2017)
Basil Petrof (2017 – current)
Peter T Macklem (1972-1979)
The late Dr. Peter Macklem was the founding director of the Meakins-Christie Laboratories. Born in 1931, Peter grew up in Kingston, ON, Canada. He obtained a Bachelor's degree from Queen's University and an MD from McGill University Medical School in 1956. He pursued his residency training in internal medicine at the Royal Victoria Hospital (Montreal) and received his research training in the Cardio-Pulmonary Service under Dr. Margaret Becklake. He further developed his interest in respiratory mechanics with Dr. Jere Mead at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, MA, USA. Following his return to Montreal and for the rest of his career he investigated various aspects of the respiratory system with a biophysical perspective. He founded the Meakins-Christie Laboratories in 1972 and was director until his appointment as Physician in Chief of the Royal Victoria Hospital and Chair of the Department of Medicine at McGill in 1979. Among his many contributions to respiratory physiology and medicine were the notion of equal pressure points determining flow limitation during forced expiration, the importance of small airways in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and the concept that respiratory muscles, like other skeletal muscles could undergo fatigue. He was a highly decorated scientist and won many awards, including his induction into the Royal Society and the Order of Canada. He received the Trudeau medal of the American Lung Association, a European Respiratory Society Congress Chairman Award, and honorary doctorates from the Universite Libre de Bruxelles and the University of Athens. He set high standards for research at McGill and was a true Canadian icon.
Joseph Milic-Emili (1979-1994)
Joseph Milic-Emili was born in 1931 in the village of Sezana, then part of Italy, but now in Slovenia. After obtaining his medical degree from the University of Milan in 1955, he was appointed Assistant Professor in the Dept of Physiology in that institution, and carried out research in the area of exercise physiology with Professor Rodolfo Margaria. He was enticed to move to the University of Liège in 1958 by the Belgian physiologist Jean-Marie Petit, with whom he developed methods to measure pleural pressure with esophageal balloons as well as the electrical activity of the diaphragm using esophagial electrodes. In 1960 Milic moved to Boston to work at the Harvard School of Public Health. His research there resulted in a landmark paper with Jere Mead on the measurement of pleural pressure, which has been cited nearly 1100 times and continues to be cited even now (as of 2012). In 1963, at the invitation of Professor David Bates, Milic moved to McGill University, where he spent the remainder of his career. His initial work at McGill on the regional distribution of inspired gas in the lung using radioactive xenon resulted in a landmark paper published in 1966. He examined respiratory mechanics in mechanically ventilated patients and developed the negative expiratory pressure technique to detect expiratory flow limitation in ICU patients. Milic was Chairman of the Dept of Physiology at McGill between 1973 and 1978, prior to becoming Director of the Meakins-Christie Laboratories in 1979. Throughout his career he received many honors and distinctions. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1980 and inducted into the Order of Canada in 1990. He was granted the degree of Doctor Honoris Causa by the Université Catholique de Louvain (1987), the University of Kunming (1988), Université de Montpellier (1994), the University of Athens (1999), and the University of Ljubljana (1999). He was appointed Professor Emeritus in the Departments of Physiology and Medicine at McGill in 1998. For anecdotes about Milic's career see papers in J Anesth (2002) and Am J Respir Crit Care Med (2003).

text: I found out the hard way that WBFS has a file system limitation of 500 games. Yep… no matter how large your drive it will hold 500 games. The average Wii game size on the WBFS drive is about 1.71g so on a 1TB drive you'll have almost 80g left over you can't use. WBFS Manager 2.5 and 3.0 have bugs and will tell you the games were added to the WBFS drive but they actually aren't. If you try to add games from the DOS version of WBFS you receive the following: no space left on device (table full): No error So… There doesn't seem to be any practical reason to go any larger than 1TB for your WBFS drive.

Peep the oldest-known Brit
DNA from a 10,000-year-old skeleton found in an English cave suggests the oldest-known Briton had dark skin and blue eyes, researchers said Wednesday. Scientists from Britain�s Natural History Museum and University College London analyzed the genome of "Cheddar Man," who was found in Cheddar Gorge in 1903. The researchers say analysis indicates he had blue eyes, dark curly hair and dark to black skin pigmentation. "Cheddar Man subverts people�s expectations of what kinds of genetic traits go together," said Tom Booth, a postdoctoral researcher who worked on the project. "It seems that pale eyes entered Europe long before pale skin or blond hair, which didn�t come along until after the arrival of farming." It�s thought ancient humans living in northern regions developed pale skin because it absorbs more sunlight, for vitamin D. Cheddar Man shares a genetic profile with several other Mesolithic-era Western Hunter-Gatherers found in Spain, Hungary and Luxembourg whose DNA has already been analyzed. The group migrated to Europe from the Middle East after the last Ice Age, about 12,000 years ago.
Earthquake toll rises to 8 dead, with dozens still missing
Rescuers searched badly damaged buildings early today looking for scores of people missing after a powerful earthquake hit Taiwan�s east coast. The magnitude-6.4 quake struck late Tuesday and was centered near the coastal city of Hualien. The shaking was felt across Taiwan, but in Hualien the force was disastrous, collapsing walls and leaving buildings resting at alarming angles. On Wednesday, a clearer toll emerged: eight dead, and 63 others missing, officials said. "We will not rest until all are found," President Tsai Ing-wen said. In all, 196 people have been rescued from four buildings that nearly toppled. About 800 people went to bed in shelters Wednesday. Their homes had been destroyed or damaged, or they were fearful about the frequent and occasionally strong aftershocks that have jolted the area.
South Sudan
Over 300 child soldiers released
More than 300 child soldiers were released Wednesday by armed groups, the second-largest such release since civil war began five years ago in South Sudan. Over 19,000 children are thought to have been abducted and recruited by all sides. The "laying down of the guns" ceremony for 87 girls and 224 boys was the first step in a process that should see at least 700 child soldiers freed in the coming weeks, said the United Nations, which has helped release almost 2,000 child soldiers so far. More than 10 percent of them have been under age 13. Human rights groups say child recruitment continues, even as the government says it has committed to ending the practice. The released children will be reunified with their families and given three months� worth of food assistance and psychosocial support, along with the opportunity to go to school.
Someone tried to mail a tiger cub
Inspectors have found tigers in all sorts of situations: on leashes, in neighbors� yards and wandering the streets. But the office for environmental protection announced a new twist Wednesday: Someone tried to express-mail a tiger cub. The cub was sedated and packed into a plastic container. Nobody realized it was there until a sniffer dog looking for contraband detected it. The cub was mailed in the western state of Jalisco to an address in the central state of Queretaro. It was dehydrated but otherwise well, and the cub was handed over to an animal management center. The tiger�s papers were apparently in order, but it was seized because the mailing constituted mistreatment. The agency says the case is under investigation.
Vatican City
Sex-crimes expert to interview victim of Chile priest in person
The Vatican�s sex-crimes expert is changing plans and will fly to New York to take in-person testimony from a Chilean sex abuse victim after his pleas to be heard by Pope Francis were previously ignored, the victim told the AP. The switch from a planned Skype interview came after the AP reported that Francis received a letter from Juan Carlos Cruz in 2015 saying one of the Rev. Fernando Karadima�s proteges, Bishop Juan Barros, was present for his abuse and did nothing. Cruz also and questioned Francis� decision to make Barros a diocesan bishop. Barros has denied seeing or knowing of any abuse by Karadima, a charismatic priest sanctioned by the Vatican in 2011 for sexually abusing minors. Francis sparked an outcry during his January visit to Chile by strongly defending Barros, describing the accusations against him as slander, and saying he never heard from any Barros victims. The AP report belies the latter claim. � tbt* wires

Installation Work @ The Carnegie (Spring 2016)
Alice Pixley Young, Paul Karalambo and Francis Hollenkamp, Intermedio (Eric Blyth, Sam Ferris-Morris, Justin West), Austin Radcliffe
The Mini Microcinema is excited to present installation work at the Carnegie for the duration of the show. Alice Pixley Young's work addresses the idea of systems, cycles and the change of light within the season. Through a small cityscape "set" and a projected video of flocking birds, she explores the way memory effects the construction of both our psychic and physical environments. Francis Hollenkamp and Paul Karalambo bring us an installation delving into the impact of the Western film genre as it entered the American home. The work is an exploration of scale, education in violence, and cultural generalization expressed in the shifting illuminance of the television screen over a field of mass produced toys. Intermedio (Eric Blyth, Sam Ferris-Morris, Justin West) presents a piece that explores the mechanistic nature of the film projector by deconstructing and recombining it's parts, exploring its features and exploiting its faults. Finally, Austin Radcliffe, the creator of the award-winning blog and recently released book "Things Organized Neatly," presents a meticulously arranged set of objects gleaned from C. Jacqueline Wood's collection of camera equipment.
All work on view before/after each screening and during gallery hours.
Flatscreen Art @ The Carnegie (Spring 2016)
Pique presents: "Curaboration" Curated by: Lindsey Whittle and Annie Brown
The Mini has teamed up with Lindsey Whittle and Annie Brown, curators from Pique, to present a collection of moving image flatscreen art. Pique is an open ended art experiment. Some may think it is a gallery, but it is so much more. Pique is constantly on the lookout for opportunities to curate and collaborate (curaborate if you will) with other artists and art institutions. The artists represented in this collection of work (rotating weekly) have either shown or will show in Pique's inaugural year.

Oh no! The king is dead.
Following a pair of posts (1, 2) where I mentioned the Zeiss 21mm king, I got in touch with Carl Zeiss to ask if they had plans to revive the Contax MM 2.8/21. You can see more of its handiwork here, here and here. The best 19-21mm lenses rated here.
A very nice, and nicely real person replied to my inquiry with the bad news:
Unfortunately it is not possible to release a new lens with the same lens design like the Distagon T* 2,8/21 MM (C/Y-mount) anymore. This lens contained glass types that are not compliant to the new RoHS guidelines anymore. [Carl Zeiss]
Oh no!
He did then go on to promise wide-angle goodies in the near future. Let's hope they put the same people on the task!

we recommend WordPress
There are many options when choosing a CMS and every web designer will have their opinion as to which one is the best. At Altin Design Web Solution Center, we unanimously recommend WordPress. We believe that WordPress is the best CMS on the market today for many reasons but mostly for its usability. WordPress was born out of the desire for an elegant, well-designed, personal publishing system built on PHP and MySQL and is licensed under the GPL. WordPress is fresh software, but its roots and development go back to 2001. WordPress is a powerful personal publishing platform, and it comes with a great set of features designed to make your experience as a publisher on the Internet as easy, pleasant and appealing as possible
WordPress key features
- Very easy to manage for non-technical users
- Open source – no license fees
- New updates released every 14 days
- Huge plugin library
- Highly flexible code base
- Easy to use content editor
- Supported by a community of millions
- Search engine friendly
- Great social media integration
- Custom content types
easy to use content management system
The key feature for any CMS is ease of use. Complex Content Management Systems waste time and resources, while equally effective (if not superior) CMS's like WordPress provide unrivalled results without the time and complexity. Within the Digital Strategy stage, AltinDesign will work with you to outline the custom content areas that are required for easier administration. With our expert guidance, we can speed up administration time, ensure pages are in-line with the original design, limit the ability to break the theme and pre-configure fonts and style to ensure continuity across the site. This means that despite the number of users accessing the CMS, things will run smoothly, look exactly as they should and fit together perfectly.
it's just simple to edit
The WordPress WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) Editor is known as the easiest to use out of all the Content Management Systems. It has simple typography as well as the ability to add photos, video, links, downloads and more. It is a clean piece of software without unnecessary, complex formatting requirements. AltinDesign are all about simplicity and ease of use, so WordPress had us at WYSIWYG… Basically, if you can operate a desktop computer for the most rudimentary of daily activities, like sending emails, attaching files and creating Word documents, then you've got WordPress in the bag.
other content management systems we can support
While WordPress reigns supreme in the AltinDesign office, we have worked with several other systems which we would happily recommend if they better suited our customer requirements. Some other Content Management Systems that we have worked with in the past and continue to deliver include Joomla, Drupal, Expression Engine and Silver Stripe. We always assess individual needs before recommending a CMS.
five great reasons to choose AltinDesign to drive your site
- Our system is incredibly user-friendly
- Once we've finished the website build, you'll own the website/software we've built for you

Colorado has a brand new $92 million high school to flaunt and it is located in Westminster. Voters approved of the construction of the new Westminster High School back in 2006 through bonds. As the first new high school in the district in 35 years, Westminster High now boasts 140 security cameras with full-time security officers monitoring them.
Every visitor must present their ID at the front window and is run against the national database of registered sex offenders. The first day of school found one parent to be one.
In case of an emergency lock down, all doors are electronically controlled. As a further step to keep student safe, Westminster High School enacted a closed campus policy this year meaning students are not allowed off campus during regular school hours.
On the plus side there is WiFi throughout this Colorado high school and lots of classroom computers to use.

Residents at the back of Walden's Ridge will have to take the long way down the hill for the next month.
Roberts Mill Road closes today and will remain so for an estimated 30 days during a stabilization project, county officials say.
Hamilton County commissioners last week voted to close the road and pay GeoStabilization International $306,845 from a state contract for the repairs. That's the same company that completed the $1.3 million W Road repairs last April.
County Public Works Administrator Todd Leamon told commissioners that two areas adjacent to the road need "slope stabilization" to prevent dangerous landslides that could wash out the road.
County spokesman Mike Dunne said Friday that the two sections run along 230 feet of roadway. The company, along with county workers, will be installing self-drilling soil nails and applications of cement under the road to support it, he said. In addition, some sections of guardrail will be replaced, and parts of the road will be repaved.
Documents attached to the resolution show the work will be done on an area of the roadway close to the top of the ridge.
Dunne said residents will have to plan for extra travel time when heading off the mountain.
Their best bets, he said, are to take either the W Road or Signal Mountain Boulevard. Those are also the routes emergency vehicles will take, Leamon told commissioners last week.

"Dear St. Augustine grass,
I know we've been together for a long time. When I first let you into my life, it seemed like a good idea -- you looked great and I was getting a lot of pressure to start a relationship with you.
But now, I look out my window and see you sprawled out across my yard and I realize that you're high maintenance, you drink too much, and you have an unhealthy relationship with the landscapers -- I see them give you those chemicals. What I'm saying is that it's not me, it's you, and ... I'm going native. Yes, this is the right decision. I've been talking to my friends the manatees, dolphins, fish, and birds and they agree with me -- we're all sooo over you."
It's that time of year to start pondering New Year's resolutions. One fantastic thing you can do for Florida's environment is to convert your yard to Florida-friendly landscaping. his cuts down on water use, which protects Florida's rivers and aquifer; reduces fertilizer use, which protects our coastal waters; and provides habitat for wildlife.
If you live in an apartment complex or have an homeowners association that just won't budge, install a rain barrel, a compost bin, and plant native species of flowers, trees and shrubs in those areas over which you do have control, and talk to your neighbors and the management about making changes to the property that could result in less grass, mowing, fertilizer, water use and, ultimately, lower maintenance fees.
The University of Florida IFAS Extension offices can help provide tips and resources. Find your local office at http://solutionsforyourlife.ufl.edu/map/. The website http://www.floridayards.org/ also contains great information.
Our individual choices do make a difference. If we all resolve to do a little more, we'll make a big difference for this beautiful state we call home.
Katie Tripp is director of science and conservation for the Maitland-based Save the Manatee Club.

Click here to view an interactive map of the Northern Ireland dataset as currently collated by CEDaR.
The map is generated through the NBN Gateway using their Interactive Mapping Tool.
This crustose lichen of exposed siliceous rocks has a chestnut-brown thallus of cushion-like areoles (warty fragments less than 3mm diam.) with the black convex discs clustered about the tops. In fact, it is quite unlike any other lichen, though when sterile, the brown blobby thallus has been likened to that of some species of Protoparmelia. The colour is different and the surface shinier and more wrinkly than in Acarospora. In Ireland, the species is known from Counties Cork, Kerry, Galway and Antrim.

Featured artist: Autonomous Cat - Cat in the shadows
Below is a short interview with the upcoming underground artist Autonomous Cat.
How did you decide to become an artist?
Autonomous Cat: I started as a EDM DJ many moons ago. Tried my hands at EDM production and found the market to be much too saturated with others trying the same thing. As a 90's Hip Hop fan it only made sense to make the jump to producing old school Boom Bap beats and a little Trap for some flavor.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.
What about concerts? Do you play live?
Currently no. I gave up DJ'ing when I dropped EDM and the digital world took over. Vinyl for life.
For now ill stick behind the mixing desk but that could change, you never know.
Best punchline you ever wrote?
16? Nah gimmie 32 and we got a track.
What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?
I am currently working with many local MC's in my area, providing beats and tracking vocals. I had some past releases on a couple EDM labels but nothing to write home about. I am looking forward to my label launch in the near future, working to provide an outlet for new and underground Hip Hop.
Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I think ultimately signing with a major label is what any artist dreams of. The best part of a major signing is exposure however the worst part would be everyone behind you claiming you are a sellout. Damned if you do damned if you dont.
Any last words?
Shout out to JellyNote (Tim Lange) for his mixdown and engineering work. Wiseguy (Nick Mravunac) for his down to earth attitude (Watch for his mixtape "Patches" to drop in the near future)
Xavier Walker for his dedication to his craft. Practice makes perfect and this guys proves it.
Where can we contact you?
Autonomous Cat: https://soundcloud.com/user-334368313
Thank you for your time. We wish you and your career the success it deserves.

The Grade 5 Exhibition gives us just another opportunity to witness rich and meaningful learning. The student's action inspire us both by their attitude and their actions. This year the students explored their central idea through a choice of art, drama, music, dance, poetry and technology. While some of these had been naturally incorporated into the students' display and presentation of their learning, there had been a focused block each week, devoted to a deeper inquiry of their elected medium.
The PYP Exhibition provoked students to demonstrate PYP attitudes and attributes in each child. The campus saw students combining their strengths, taking on multiple roles of a guide to their peers and most importantly being enthusiastic learners.
The exhibition also witnessed the use of approaches to learning, developing skills such as problem solving, conflict resolution, creative and critical thinking. We could see the students exhibit their commitment to the attributes of the learner profile and the attitudes that we seek to engender within the PYP homeroom. (Making the PYP Happen).
The Exhibition SOUK emerged from this as a student initiative and a small step taken by the students to support their adopted NGOS either to raise funds or spread their message.
This year's exhibition empowered students to think about "Change" that they can bring as an individual or together and contribute to the society, country and also internationally.
From #YESWECAN, emerged a student abbreviation - M.A.D. which in their words is: 'MAKE A DIFFERENCE'.
M.A.D soon became viral at school and we could see the students infected with passion, empathy, curiosity, creativity to make a change with their actions-surely a visual treat to see the students making the PYP Happen!
It was an exhibition that made a difference. We are proud about the fact that these tiny steps are someday going to leave huge footprints in the real world.
Kudos to the entire team and our young learners! For pictures click here!
This year's Annual Day performance surely took everyone on a trip down the memory lane. The Disney Jumble of Aladdin, Jungle Book and Lion King were twisted and twirled to put together the production - "Tangled Tale to the Throne".
The students worked under the mentorship of theater professionals from "Silly Point Productions" to explore and communicate ideas, feelings and experiences through dance, music and drama and learn about the relationship between an artist and an audience. The theatrical experiences provided a platform for our young learners to be confident, committed and cooperate with peers from different age groups. It was also wonderful to hear student conversations on the many morals that ran through the tale.
Another proud memory to add to our album of 2014-15. For pictures click here!
Childhood memories of a circus come back each time we think about FPAC 2015. The FPAC 2015 treated students to a circus joyride with different games and delicious treats in store at the variety of stalls put up by the parents.
The Happiness Parade with clowns, stilt walkers, jugglers etc won the hearts of our little guests from the Akanksha School.
FPAC also joined hands with Make - A - Wish Foundation to fulfil wishes of children who are terminally ill and undergoing treatment. It was a proud moment for the Parent Community as another year of goodwill and PYP Action came to a close. For pictures click here!
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
- Albert Einstein
At school learning is tailored to every child's style and needs. "The Differentiated Homeroom" held on 23rd September 2014 where we invited the parents to enjoy a day of teaching and learning with their child.
Concepts were unpacked and presented by students using Howard Gardner's "Multiple Intelligence" a tool that ensures that every student learns in a manner that works best for him/her, because what is learnt is less important than how it is learnt.
Homerooms echoed with student voice and inquiry that put them at the heart of learning.
For pictures of the event click here.
Through this endeavour we financially empowered NGO's by helping them sell products at our event and also gifting an evening of fun and frolic to some orphan children.
The Fun Fair had parent food and games stalls that remained crowded all throughout, impromptu games and lucky draws, a Happiness Parade with life size cartoon characters, clowns and music and children from an NGO smiling and strolling through the venue. Apart from that, the FPAC parent community also sponsored 3 years of education for 5 students studying in St. Catherine of Siena School and Orphanage. For pictures of the event click here here.

Doodling like Dali
Students explored the world of surrealism with the master Salvador Dali's art as their inspiration to create strange, imaginative paintings with a story and some mystery.

Talking Pictures and Roosters
It was a workshop conducted by illustrator Priya Kuryan wherein, the students learnt the thought process behind the pictures illustrated in a book. The students also put their thinking caps on and created illustrations of their own.

At Fazlani, the PYP teachers put up a show for their beloved students. The pre-primary teachers enacted a fairytale with songs, musical effects and handmade properties that were appealing to every students eyes.
Whereas, the primary teachers sang songs, danced on folk songs and had the children sense the various cultures in India. India has a rich cultural heritage and through these performances the children were given a glance at it.
Gujarati Garba, Punjabi Bhangda, Maharashtrian Lavani and the Goan dance truly gave out the message of unity in diversity to the children.
In today's day, folk songs and cultural dance forms are losing its importance. This effort made by our teachers to sow seeds of our enriching culture received a great reception from our children who enjoyed themselves, paving way for our next cultural event "Mother Toungue Mania" which will be introduced soon in Term 2.

This year at FLAG we had the -- SPOOKTACULAR CLASSFEST
As a part of our pre-Halloween celebrations, each class of PYP participated in the "SPOOKTACULAR CLASSFEST" an interclass competition where students and teachers of each class teamed up to make their class look the spookiest of all. Each class depicted a different scene. There were graveyards, spooky village scenes, Halloween feast parties, haunted house and many others. This competition was aimed at bringing out the creative streak in the children and to teach them teamwork. We saw an amazing response from all the participants. Well done Teachers and Students!

I hesitated a little before posting this as there is very little Irish connection – but it's really fascinating so I will anyway.
The BBC report on a fantastic addition to the National Library's on-line collection.
Cymro – 7 issues of the magazine Cymro, created by Welsh prisoners of war during the Second World War. These prisoners were members of the Cymric Club in the Stalag IVB camp near Mühlberg, Germany. The magazines were produced between July 1943 and December 1944. Handwritten on paper stuck together with soup, copies would be passed from hand to hand. Some wonderful snippets below the fold:
News from home – as Europe and the world suffer masive conflagration what's the news from home?:
"In the little village of Rhosytryfan, Caernarvonshire, a dispute the two local deacons developed into a fight after the church service on Sunday evening. Now one of the families goes to another chapel."
Sports Star – Mostyn Thomas gets his double cap, Rugby against England and soccer against Ireland.
Sioni Wynwns – I remember the Breton onion sellers when I was a kid.
Springboks beat us! (fascinating little paragraph on Lord Davies of Llandinam bottom right – a family with a little history)
I've been scrolling through all morning – fabulous stuff. Any similar stuff from Irish prisoners?

Margaret Browning
Margaret was a single mother who was working as a beautician on Dixie Highway, and didn't have enough money to make ends meet. She needed more money to support herself and she and her daughter started buying things at yard sales, and by fixing them up, and selling them again. She found that she could make some extra money. From these meager beginnings, Margaret was able to open her first consignment store.
Her 28-year-old Frankfort Avenue business — a complex of four cottages converted to storefronts at 2700 Frankfort Ave. — employs 11 people and has become a destination for bargain hunters from all tax brackets.
She likes to say that she sells to everyone from millionaires who can afford to shop anywhere to people with nothing who can't afford to shop anywhere else. She's one of a group of a dozen entrepreneurs who turned Frankfort Avenue business district into a vital retail corridor, and everyone who has businesses there greatly appreciate what she's done.
John Johnson, who owns The Wine Rack at 2632 Frankfort, calls Browning "a champion of the area … a tireless promoter" of the Frankfort Avenue Business Association and its component small businesses. Johnson, like many who know the petite Browning, has stories about her expansive personality.
"She really embraced me when I moved here" to open The Wine Rack in 2003. "She literally brought people into my store and insisted that they shop here," Johnson said. "And who wants to argue with her?"
Those who know Browning say she has a desire to see others do as well as she has done well. She wants others to enjoy life as she enjoys a life she can't quite believe she created.
Margaret's often repeated line about her success is, "Not bad for a Shively girl." She moves easily in "society." She rarely is seen in anything less than black Armani and heels.
Margaret was the third of 12 children, and she doesn't mind tell people that she grew up with too many children in her family who had to suffer because of her alcoholic father and a mentally ill mother. She remembers being 5 years old, dusting a buffet table and arranging lamps in an attempt to make her home look better. "We were so poor, everything we had was something someone else threw away," she said. "I guess I was so embarrassed I wanted to make things look better, like my friends' houses.
By the early 1980s, her life hadn't gotten dramatically better. She was in her 40s and had worked for 25 years as a beautician at Eli's Barber Shop in the Bacons Center on Dixie Highway. She was divorced and trying to support her teenage daughter. So she started thinking about capitalizing on her talent of making something from nothing — the copper pot or the silver-plated bowl she'd buy at yard sales for 50 cents, polish up, then resell for $5 at her own weekend sales. "I did that for years and years," Browning said.
In 1982, she decided to open her own consignment shop at Stilz and Frankfort avenues, paying $425 per month in rent for five rooms that had been an apartment. She worked around the clock, cutting hair in the mornings and building her business at night. Because she didn't yet have consignment accounts, she would hit yard sales, clean up her haul and turn it into the inventory for her new shop.
The early days of Margaret's Consignment were far from auspicious. After she left the barbershop to concentrate on her shop, she struggled to make ends meet, and she tells stories about making it through days with $1 in her purse. But by 1991, Margaret's Consignment was making enough money that Browning was able to buy a bigger location with better visibility.
The building she bought in 1991 became part of a 5,000-square-foot complex of selling space. She recalls that in the expansion process, she got down to 11 cents in her business account. Browning said she prayed that weekend and got a miracle: The shop took in $3,000 over a Friday and Saturday. "Monday, I had to run to the bank and pay the (overdraft) fee. I said, 'Thank you, Jesus!'
"I'll tell you … we didn't give up, but I was sweating a few times. I was divorced. I had to make money. I thought, 'I have to do it.' I was in a situation where I had to survive, and that's all I focused on. "I prayed and I hoped, and I never said, 'What if I fail?' "
Today, Margaret's Consignments is booming, generating about $1.5 million in annual sales. And it's an engine for driving surrounding businesses, with Browning as the spark plug.
"No question, Margaret has a big role" in the Frankfort Avenue Business Association, said Don Burch. Browning was among the first who Burch said invested in a Frankfort Avenue corridor that today is "dramatically different from when we arrived," with more shops and double the number of restaurants.
"I give Margaret a lot of credit," Burch said. "She's an absolute doer. And as good as she is, you have to have something driving you inside. I think she's trying to put as much distance between who she is today and an ugly start."
Browning still works seven days a week, her employees say. And she never asks employees to do anything she wouldn't do, said Pat Moore, Margaret's Consignment store manager. "Oh, yeah," added Chris Garner, a saleswoman, "you look up and she's climbing the ladder to change some display— in heels!"
Browning herself said she'll never escape her past, and she doesn't want to. "My sister used to say, 'Oh, don't say 12 kids when you talk to people.' I'm proud of it. If I hadn't have gone through it all, I wouldn't be who I am today. "Nothing's going to my head. If it did, God would take it all away."
On May 29, Margaret will tell you how she did it all. It's a success story you won't want to miss.

Nicholas Friesen @Nicholastronaut May 7, 2016
At age 13, I didn't know the difference between the bald guy in the Hip, the bald guy in REM and the bald guy in Live. All of them danced around manically and warbled in their vocal delivery. In 1996, each of these bands had hits on radio and Much Music, and I started paying more attention. "Ahead by a Century" and "Gift Shop" didn't seem like anything else out there. The video for the former had a kid in an Ozzy Osborne shirt running from … something. Responsibility? His dad? The future? The video for the latter was a gorgeous black and white clip with moments of Canadiana that I didn't appreciate at the time, but I enjoyed, even though I didn't know why.
I don't know if it was MusicWorld or HMV (or Sam the Record Man, a store I frequented more because it was less busy and had better prices) but I picked up a copy of the Tragically Hip's Trouble at the Henhouse and almost immediately wore out the cardboard case from carting it around everywhere I went (I made a photocopy of the cover art and put the disc in a jewel case, I still have both to this day). I brought it to Dillon McKim's house to work on a group project and we listened to it on my first Sony Discman, running through Dillon's speakers in his basement bedroom. I can't not hear this record without thinking about how my classmates indulged me, or the smell of the glue we used for whatever "unit" project we were assembling at the last minute (the Loyalists? Pioneers? Science?). By the time we got to "Put It Off," I was wondering what "Love Tara by Eric's Trip" was while my classmates were groaning about the repetitiveness of the chorus. I thought this was a "cool" record, why weren't they into it?
I learned quickly from the guys I worked with at my weekend job washing cars that the Hip made "arty bullshit" in addition to "great songs" like "Blow at High Dough" and "Little Bones."
It's not the band I hate, it's their fans.
The production on the disc seemed, at times, massive ("Springtime in Vienna") and way too thin ("Butts Wigglin'"). I didn't know what production was, but I knew this record didn't really sound like any other records. I wondered how Steven Drake from the Odds came to work on the record, but then assumed that every Canadian musician knew each other. Did he mix? Master? Produce? I didn't know what any of those things meant but this was the record that made me curious. When I dove back and got 1994's Day For Night (on sale at Futureshop), I noticed a consistency. It was dark. Moody. Wordy. That door opening stuff that makes you wonder what the fuck you were doing spending car wash money on Aerosmith's Big Ones.
"Don't Wake Daddy" jumped out at some of the girls in my class, mostly just the line about Kurt Cobain. It had been two years, but they were still in mourning (though many had moved onto Jared Leto). Did girls like the Hip? I couldn't tell, not until high school, anyway. Then I knew they liked them, but they didn't know why.
The radio played the shit out of this record, official singles or not. "Flamenco" poured through my parents' Ford Explorer speakers on many a night home from Tae Kwon Do class. I made sure to say something over the "chickenshit" line so they wouldn't notice (as well as the "prostitute" line). Thirteen-year-old me wondered why "Butts Wigglin'" and "700 Foot Ceiling" didn't have videos (didn't every single get one?) and I dreamed of ones the band could make. Elaborate concepts. Things so embarrassing I won't dare type them here.
I felt inferior because my Henhouse shirt was bought at Music City, not at a concert, and it did not have the tour dates, only the lightning bolt. I'd suffer similar embarrassment when sporting a Nirvana shirt that didn't mock the "flower sniffin' kitty pettin' baby kissin' corporate rock whores," but I would live. I'd put a plaid shirt over top. No one would know. Unless they asked (which they did).
I'm not sure anything has ever really diminished my super capacity to love the Hip and Henhouse, my introduction to them, even though I've skipped the last few times they've come to town. That first time I saw them, though – Another Roadside Attraction, 1997 – my dad took me. We missed Change of Heart early in the afternoon (something I still regret to this day) but caught Wilco, Sheryl Crow and Ron Sexsmith. I don't remember anything about the show – no "ah ha" moment here, other than when the band second encored with "Coconut Cream" my dad insisted we "beat the traffic."
"They're still playing!"
"They can play you to the car."
And they did, and it was something else, hearing the band jam out, echoing through the summer night air.
I do remember seeing them at an arena, then a concert hall, then another arena. Probably a few times. I remember openers By Divine Right (with a pyjama-clad Feist) and Sam Roberts Band (he's so short!) and I remember everyone being really drunk. Once they played an outdoor concert for free and all of Winnipeg was there. It was a little terrifying. Don't do that, put a bunch of drunks out in the hot sun, making them wait to hear "Little Bones" while you dive into deep cuts from Music @ Work.
What does the Hip's Henhouse mean to me? Did it shape me in any way? Did it make me wonder about co-habitation ("Apartment Song") and masturbation ("Coconut Cream")? It was definitely the first time I'd ever heard the words "circle" and "jerk" used together. Did it make me want to be a musician and learn all of Gord Downie's improvised stage moves and banter? Did it help introduce me to bands outside the mainstream? Did it help ease me out of the classic rock and oldies radio I had grown up on, and, along with Odds' Nest and 54-40's Trusted by Millions, lead me out of 1996 into a 1997 in which I would fall for Age of Electric, I Mother Earth and Change of Heart?
I haven't really tried to tell you what the record means to me here, or maybe I have, I don't really know. I'm tired – my sister had a baby today and I've been up since 5am – so I thought I should listen to Trouble at the Henhouse on the eve of its 20th anniversary, on the day that you were born, Josslyn, and think about what a record like this reminds me of. Maybe now it will remind me of you. And junior high. And Canadiana. And how after 20 years, a record can mean something new, even after the millionth listen.

Re: Agnews and William the Conqueror and Charlemange
In reply to:
Re: Agnews and William the Conqueror and Charlemange
Hey Cousin! I figured it out. I got confirmation just two weeks ago when I went to visit my Uncle and got a book from him called Men of the Mark from 1776-1876. It's a history of military men in the Penn. Area near where the Agnews came. On the inside is an inscription by John R. Agnew to his nephew Nathaniel Sample Agnew requesting that the book be passed on to his son John Patterson Agnew, his (John's) namesake.
Nathaniel Sample Agnew (1845) was John Patterson Agnew's (1879) Father. Nathaniel married Mary E. Ritchie in 1867.
Nathaniel's father was David Agnew (1811) and his mother was Rebecca C. Sample.
David's father was James Agnew (1769) and his mother was ELizabeth Finley. James married again after Elizabeth passed away to Rebecca Patterson (found the link). Looks like Elizabeth died when the kids were still young.
James' father was James Scott Agnew (1742) and his mother was Mary Ramsey.
James Scott's father was James Agnew (1711) and his mother was Rebecca Scott
James' father was James Agnew (1645) and his mother was Eleanor Jamieson (is her first name Helena?)
James' father was Alexander Agnew (does anyone know his wifes name?)
Alexander's father was Patrick Agnew and his mother was Margaret Kennedy.
So apparently we are cousins somehow. So again I say hey cousin. If any of this looks wrong let me know.

You'll have to dig into your crate of 45s to hear other bands that sound like the Parrots. The Madrid trio, comprised of Diego García (vocals / guitar), Alex de Lucas (bass) and Larry Balboa (drums) play some primordial garage rock that's redolent of '60s groups like The Monks and 13th Floor Elevators—just two of the grizzled bands that have inspired the Parrots' sound. Their music isn't simply derivative of a bygone age, though. It's filled with that modern exuberance that's given garage rock new life this past decade, as well as the clarion production value that didn't exist during the first go-round. Plus, they pull off a certain youthful irreverence that's fresh regardless of era.
Today, Nerdist premieres] the video for the band's single, "Let's Do It Again." The Parrots dropped us a line about the song and the video's creation:
"Directed and edited by our favorite internet boy Pablo Amores. this is a virus.fifa that will get inside your mind and won't leave until you reset it. The song is about friendship and loyalty and how sometimes its just like a computer trojan and makes you do things under the moon that you'll be totally ashamed the next day. <3"
And indeed, the video has that nonplussed aesthetic of a great night out on the town. Amidst glitchy, lurid overlays are shots of the Parrots wandering around in the night, beers in hand. The last bit of the video triggers unrendered computer screens to pop up, perhaps representing the depths of some dark alleyway during the blacked out moments from the end of the night.
En masse, the clip feels like retracting your footsteps the morning after, that hazy recollection where nothing is quite clear. But even with the hangover and the fuzzy memory, it all carries a feeling of a good time had. It was weird. You probably aren't going to tell anyone else about it. But it felt good. So good, in fact, that you turn to your late-night cohorts with only one thought: "Let's Do It Again."
The band's debut record Los Niños Sin Miedo is due out on August 26. Until then, spin this track and have memorable (or semi-memorable) nights.

A fuzzy two note buzz starts off a-side's "Unclean Ghost". A mesmeric boom bop beat then joins in giving signals for an Eno in the most turbulent of moods keyboard drone to meld into the sound. By the time the glassy splashes of guitar and haunting heavy echo chambered vocals come in you are already in a stupefacient daze...eyes closed (cuz they're rolled in the back of the head) with yr head swaying back to forth. Simplicity like the lure of one of those good Wire songs uses, the missing things that have puzzled me when I meet people who claim to be Discordians but haven't ever heard of Hawkwind and a part where the could've let doves out of a box but they end up being rats. No one notices the punctured skin/bite marks until a day or two later. By then it's gonna take much, much more than iodine and calamine to treat it.
All kinds of hell breaks loose when you flip it over for "Pirate Utopia". Stand back cuz they're gonna start a fire of metallic (but not METAL) grind voodoo played on a guitar that was being used as an oil drip pan underneath a block of a greasy old real engines that were made to be worked on in your driveway. Sparks fly & skulls break from the smack! pound! smack! pound! If you listen very closely rumor has it that you can hear Gibby Haynes & Peter Cushing arguing over who get's to play the lead in the movie based on the songs El Jesus de Magico write.

Shea and Derek's wedding day dawned with gray skies and rain showers but their light airy decor and simple elegant wedding kept the day beautiful and bright. The coral, gray and ivory wedding party attire was a beautiful contrast to the wood tones of the venue. We all love those beautiful blue carolina skies but the gray really made this wedding dreamy and soft. Starlight Meadows was the perfect venue and one of the best wedding barns to photograph. The staff was super helpful and the lighting was amazing! What a perfect spot for a country wedding! The wedding party flowers by Keepsakes Bouquets were stunning as well! All together a beautifully put together wedding day!

In This Small Kitchen: Reusing Your Oil
Most of the time, I don't deep fry at home. This isn't a problem. I figure if I eat French fries at restaurants and baked potatoes here, I've achieved a balance I don't need to upset. And then, once in a while, I fry potatoes at home and remember: oh, this is wonderful.
So the delight I took in some recently fried fries did not beg the question of whether frying at home is hard (it's not). Rather, it made me think about if homemade chips are worth the $10 of oil I need to fill up my pot to deep fry them. And that's when we have to talk about reusing oil more than once. To do so, you simply strain out all the particulates that have gotten into your oil. I did so twice, first through a strainer, and then through a strainer lined with a paper towel. The idea is to get out any organic matter that might spoil. With "naked" and battered foods, there's not a lot of residue to strain out; with floured or breadcrumb-covered chicken or zucchini, there will be more. I stored this cleaned-up oil in a jar.
After straining, I had yet another object cluttering my kitchen, though: a jar of used oil. So, I kept frying. Yes, after the French fry meal, I went on a short but steady fried food bender. It mostly involved battered banana fritters with chocolate sauce, which I cooked up fresh for guests after we'd eaten our main, not the kind of entertaining I usually do. Apparently my jar of oil was stretching my boundaries.
Once I'd used the oil five times or so, I disposed of it (responsibly! not down the drain). I'd eaten my fill of homemade fried food for the time being, the oil was spent, and the jar no longer had to crowd my countertop. It'll be a while before I make French fries again, but when I do, I'll make them often–just for a couple of weeks.
P.S. One of the few fried recipes on the site–Fried Chicken Salad with Buttermilk Dressing.

And speaking of four, we have four new themes this week at the Outlawz Festive Friday's Challenge. Winter Trees, Angel Card, Get Well Bear, and Glass of Wine.
I chose Winter Trees and used a grayscale image by Make It Crafty. I cut out "peace" from my Tim Holtz Holiday Script die set from a matte silver cardstock which matched my bottom layer. The aqua layer went with the BG10 Copic color I used to make some drifts of snow around the bare trees. Of course, it was all finished off with Diamond Stickles for some glittery snow effect.
Bugaboo is always our sponsor for the Festive Friday's Challenge and is giving a great prize of 4 digital images to our lucky February winner! Please visit Bugaboo as they are so generous with their prizes and we simply couldn't have challenges without them!
Hope you will stop by the Outlawz Festive Friday's Challenge and see what everyone else has made!
Thanks for coming by!

My name is Valerie Johnson and I am an amateur family historian who began my family history search when I was in my 60's. After attending a genealogy conference and attending a class on blogging about family history, I decided to give it a try.
My greatest initial challenge was deciding on a title for my blog. At first I had several titles that included the words family history or genealogy; but when I was trying to select a WordPress theme, I kept coming back to this one with the flower in the header. After several hours, I decided on Flowers In The Garden.
Most gardens have many different types of flowers. My mother is an avid gardener of roses. I have no idea what the different types of roses are, I just know that they are all beautiful and a variety of colors and species. When I think of African Americans and my own DNA in particular, we come in so many different skin tones, hair textures and ethnic mixtures – just like flowers in a garden.
I have no doubt that as I continue my ancestral journey, I will also find some weeds. When you have a garden, that's to be expected. I hope you'll stop back from time to time to check on my garden.
