As of late, the reintegration of prisoners has been given a renewed sense of importance in policy initiatives. 'Late' is probably the right word to use here, as up until recently this barely got a mention. Schemes like Pay for Success in the U.S. and New Zealand's Clean Slate Act recognised that, with half of offenders returning to prison after their release, successful reintegration was key to fighting crime and ensuring safer communities. Moreover, this wasn't going to be achieved by stigmatising offenders- they needed to be given the opportunity to start afresh.
Yet despite some positive policy initiatives, high recidivism rates remain. And that's because it's not just the responsibility of policy makers to help prisoners reintegrate. As Fred Brunell from Prison Fellowship pointed out to me, it's something that we're all answerable to. An attitude of "it's not my problem" creates a divisiveness that fuels cycles of crime, rather than the community support that helps break them.
As a largely volunteer based organisation, Prison Fellowship is a key example of how ordinary members of the community can help to break cycles- within families, communities and individuals themselves. At the individual level, a second chance can begin even while a person is still in prison. As the prisoner prepares for release, Prison Fellowship's volunteer "coaches" go into prisons and work on a transition plan, targeting the prisoner's specific strengths and weaknesses and envisioning a better future. Once the offender is released, community support becomes focal in setting this plan into action.
Prison Fellowship's primary initiative, "Breakfree Communities," sets up a support network within their area for the prisoner. These volunteers can be instrumental in kickstarting positive change, with help ranging from business support and employment contacts to mentoring around substance addiction. Demonstrating that help doesn't necessarily need to come from the great arm of government, BreakFree Communities simply tries to bring back what Fred argues is lost in our modern world- a close circle of community support, where "if your next door neighbour was hungry you'd feed them". With many offenders isolated from family and friends after their release or lacking in positive role models, people in the wider community may be the only help they can turn to.
As noted by Fred, positive relationships can be very powerful amulets against recidivism. And whilst some may need to be more dependent on wider community support, for others the role of family can also be very positive and influential. Several of Prison Fellowship's programs work to build and maintain positive family relationships, particularly for the children of prisoners. Angel Tree is one good example of this, where parents on the inside get to send Christmas gifts to their children. Relying again on the goodwill and kindness of everyday people, the actual presents themselves are donated, however the cards accompanying them are written by the prisoners. This not only helps to recognise and ameliorate the devastating effect that prison has on children, it also helps the prisoner in reintegration through strengthening key personal relationships. Furthermore, it's not just at Christmas time that the family is acknowledged. Throughout the year, Prison Fellowship holds meetups and even camps for the children of prisoners, helping to model a better way.
Significant barriers to achieving reintegration still remain, however. What Fred calls the "big six" of reintegration -employment, accommodation, budgeting skills/financial support, drug and alcohol support, pro-social modelling and mental health- still need our time and investment. And it's a worthwhile investment to make. Fred estimates about a million dollars within two years would be enough to break trends. He acknowledges that this may sound like a lot. However, the payoffs for that million could be huge.
"Some people might say a million bucks, you've got to be dreaming! And the answer to that is, well, if you prevent just one prisoner from going back in there, that's $90,000. If we save 10 prisoners from going back in, for at least a year, then we've saved a million dollars."
Yet while we wait for that million to come along, it is heartening to discover all the small ways that everyday people can help. Policy and budgets for many of us are an abstraction that we only really come across in election time, and even then they may be something we feel we have little control over. However, evidently there are a range of ways in which Prison Fellowship facilitates the help of people in the community, with even more ideas still in the pipeline. For example, accommodation is currently a major obstacle in reintegration, not in the least because it is difficult to set something up from the inside. Even if an ex-prisoner is able to find a place to stay, they may be denied housing on the basis of their convictions. In response, Fred proposes the idea of a kind of accommodation register, a kind of "first port of call" with the range of halfway houses and accommodation options that are available. A register could also open up a way for community members to help. As Fred says;
"not only are there the institutional organisations, but there's a whole heap of people out there in the community with goodwill, and who say okay, it might be a bit risky but I'll give it a go and I'll let my garage out to a prisoner, and give them a bed, that kind of thing."
Small acts of charity can make all the difference, and it is these acts from everyday people that Prison Fellowship looks to facilitate.
Yet whilst there are many people full of acceptance and forgiveness, we also live in a society strongly geared towards punitive measures. For Fred, it is changing this mindset that is the biggest barrier, and it manifests in various ways.
"In the community, it's found when people say 'just lock them up and throw away the key'. In volunteer organisations, I think it's hidden away in people's mind. I think it's found in volunteer organisations where people see their role as maternal figures whose job it is to tell people off all the time, rather than model a better way. And I think that in the institutions, in [the Department of] Justice or whatever the institution may be, it's when people think that their job is to punish people, to make life hard."
This punitive attitude applies even when ex-prisoners are out, even when they have supposedly "done their time". It is also something that money and policy can't fix, but we, as members of society, can.
What this comes back to is the spirit and attitude that all of us hold in approaching reintegration. The collective mindset of society has a powerful role in shaping the individuals in it. Within our power is the ability to either help forge new, positive lives for prisoners, or to contribute to the punitive attitude that provokes re-offending. While we often look to policy or the government to solve all our problems, policy is only a bit of paper without the spirit of the community behind it. From donating a gift to a prisoner's child or leasing out a room, there are a range of ways we can all set the scene for reintegration, changing communities and changing lives.

Why Free Guitar Tabs Are Important
Guitarists can learn to read music notation, chord lyrics charts, or guitar tablature. Music notation is a great system, but it isn't the most modern, or best system for learn modern guitar songs. It's a system that takes weeks or even months to learn the basics, while guitar tab can be learned in a matter of minutes. But what's even better is having guitar tab PDF. In guitar tab PDF, the songs display both the guitar tablature, and the music notation so you really do get the best of both world. Personally, I like to use the guitar tab to figure out the actual notes, while I use the musical notation to help me get an understanding for the overall timing of the piece.

It used to be that by raising their children to be White Sox or Cub fans, parents unwittingly were producing kids suited for just one career: crime scene photographer.
People witnessed some horrifically bad baseball in this city, and the only thing that made it palatable was the knowledge, built on bravado, self-medication and other coping techniques, that their pathetic team was better than the pathetic team on the other side of town. This was like being smug about having heart disease instead of lung disease.

"Good dark red. Ethereal aromas of red cherry, spices and dried flowers, plus a hint of chocolate liqueur. Wonderfully intense, seamless and lush, but with terrific integrated acidity giving punch to the very youthful cherry and rose petal flavors. The splendid rising, saline finish features fine-grained, glistening tannins and strong supporting fruit. Very alive and evolving slowly; the wine's explosive back end suggests that it has outstanding potential." 93-96 Stephen Tanzer
Vivid coloration ranging from deep ruby to black-cherry. Their aromas suggest strawberry, blackcurrant, and gooseberry as well as fruit pits, liquorice, and spices. Violet, moss and underbrush are also likely to be present. On the palate, power, opulence and elegance unite to make a full and complex body, full of sap and voluptuosness textured. Keeping potential is 10 years minimum. Although these sumptuous Grands Crus share a family resemblance, each has its own distinctive nuances.

What your neighbors are saying about the Druid Hills Patrol?
"Many thanks for looking in on our house while we were away recently for 11 days. We very much appreciated the peace of mind we got from the officers' daily reports, particularly in light of the fact that the house directly across the street from us was burglarized in the past month.
Your services were also invaluable because the AJC mistakenly delivered our newspapers every day we were away even though they had our hold request in their computer system. (Ironically, they delivered another entire set of missed papers on the day after our return in accordance with the hold request.) The AJC representative I spoke with apologized for their error and promised to notify the area supervisor and the route carrier, so I hope this is not a recurring problem in our neighborhood as piled up newspapers are clearly a red flag! Your officers put the papers along with a package on our back porch." Melinda and Phil Holloday, Oakdale Road
"I think that the Patrol appears to be heading in an excellent direction and appreciate the efforts of the officers and volunteer team. There is definitely heightened visibility. And the information coming to Patrol members is very helpful. Someday I hope that the City and County police departments reach the point where they can provide sufficient community policing but until then we seem to need private Patrols." Alida Silverman, Oakdale Road
"Phil and I received a lot of information when we came by the office on Ponce during the open house and since then have had officers come by our house to introduce themselves to us. We think there is more visibility of the patrol car and know by reports by the officers that they have checked on our house when we are away. Obviously we are concerned about the number of incidences of theft in our area and think having more people join would enable the association to increase the number of patrol hours. It would also be a huge help with more visibility to hopefully control the speed of the traffic in this area." Judi Edwards, Springdale Road
"Increased reporting of area incidents has reminded us that our quiet neighborhood is part of a major city. DHP's recent security enhancements are particularly welcome in that context. "Rob and Susan Ashmore, Oxford Road
"I always feel better going on trips knowing that the Patrol will be checking up on my house while I am gone, and I appreciate the report I get upon my return. I also appreciate the updates on what is going on in the neighborhood." Joan Dokson, Oakdale Road
"Druid Hills has needed a more concentrated neighborhood-driven emphasis on the Druid Hills Patrol for a long time. A concerned core group of our community appear to have taken a leadership role in addressing the safety concerns of Druid Hills. This thoughtful overhaul has been long overdue.
Cars have raced down our streets endangering our children and our safety. The flashing lights and the presence of the Druid Hills Patrol security car have slowed down the traffic through our neighborhood and have begun to make our streets safer. When we are our of town , we have asked the Patrol to monitor our property. Timed reports looking in on guests staying at our home have made us feel more comfortable about leaving our home a little more secure. I think the potential for the Patrol is huge. If we could just increase participation and funding to create a Patrol that truly represents all of us, we could begin to fund many more important projects. I am interested in increasing the Patrol to 24 hour survellience. One project I am particularly interested in is the coordination of our Security Alarm company with the Druid Hills Patrol. If an alarm in our home could notify the Patrol to come to our home in case of an emergency, this would solve the long delay of the DeKalb Police response to an emergency." Mark Holzberg, Oakdale Road
"As a 6-year resident of Druid Hills and a new member of the DHP, I couldn't be happier with the direction the DHP has taken. DHP provides both proactive and responsive assistance. The DHP website offers up-to-date information regarding issues, incidences and precautionary measures. The Patrol car is well-marked and has a visible presence in our community. Bottom line: I feel better informed and more secure." Mark J. Herold, Oakdale Road
"Thanks very much. I am LOVING the DHP for making me feel secure since my move to Atlanta!"Judith Kerr, Lullwater Place
"The recent reorganization of the Patrol has been incredible. Their visibility in the neighborhood with the easily identifiable Patrol car has been a real plus. I can't begin to say how especially impressed I've been with the communication. The "Ride Reports" come frequently and it is a real eye opener to see what goes on crime-wise in the neighborhood. I recently took advantage of notifying the Patrol when I was on vacation so my house could be checked carefully while I was gone. A few days after my return, I received a "welcome home" email that included an attachment with a copy of hte log that was kept for checking my house while I was away. It included the date and time my house was checked, the officer that checked it, and a note that all was secure and "ok". Wow!" Joanna Stroud, Springdale Road

Silver Fish on Reclaimed Wood
Silver Fish on Reclaimed Wood
Dimensions: 11" long x 3" tall x 2" thick
Marc Deloach handmade this wood fish from barnwood he salvaged in Vermont. I, Christine Schultz, hand painted it in silver, gold, and black acrylics. It's the perfect gift for a friend, a relative, or yourself. No two are the same. This listing is for one.
Special Features: This iridescent silver fish has a gold eye, lips, and gill. His fins are black with gold stripes. I painted his body silver over a black base to highlight the slightly textured barnwood, then I painted the two-inch thick edges to create a multi-dimensional effect. He's a real catch, ready to ship.
Hang this fish anywhere--in a dining room, kitchen, kids' room, over a doorway or stairway, in a bathroom or bedroom, covered porch, lake house, or wherever you'd like a pop of color and whimsy. One is great. Groupings are even better. Check here for more fish: http://www.etsy.com/shop/TaylorArts?section_id=7670153
On the back: My husband nailed a notched metal piece over an inletted circle so that the fish will balance flat against the wall from a single nail or screw head. It will also sit upright on a flat surface. On the back is the original reclaimed wood and my signature, Christine Schultz.
Care and handling: While these fish are fun and durable, they're not meant as playthings for kids or to last outside directly in the weather. However, a covered porch is fine. We're happy to custom make fish. Just ask.

Question about Nintendo Wii Console
My wii wont play any of my game discs ive tried loads of differant ones but just says the same thing disc cant be read refer to trouble shooting in manuel it was working perfectly find yesterday and now nothing!
Posted by 29kay on
Solution 1 helped me alot.! thanks
If Wii gives Disc Read Error, First step you need to check is to tryanother disc or clean the exisitng disc. This will confirm that problemis with either Wii or Disc. If the Console itself is giving disc readerror then it needs to be repaired.. You may check out DIY Wii Fix Guide,that will show step by step information to fix the problem Yourself. Italso gives information on fixing many Wii Related Problems, so its akind of Wii Problems Reference Fix Guide
You can go on the nintendo website or call their help center. There is a specific problem with some Wii models that won't allow the consoles to read "dual discs" (Smash bro). I was so frustrated, I would put the disc in and it would come up with "Error". If you do to the website it will give you specific instructions on what to do to handle the problem. You will have to ship it in but they will pay for all shipping charges. I sent mine in and didn't expect it to get back very fast but was out for about 1wk. that included shipping time both ways. It was very fast and will now read the Smash Bro. disc.
Posted on May 04, 2009
You might not be putting the disk in the right way? It happens with me sometimes but then I remember to make sure to face the disk the right way!!! Try it ; should work!

Tim Tebow hosts prom for people with special needs
Tim Tebow will always be remembered for his play on the field and his dominant run with the Florida Gators in the late 2000's. But perhaps it's the quarterback's actions away from the gridiron that will forever ingrain him in football fans' minds.
This weekend was no exception.
The Tim Tebow Foundation hosted a "Night to Shine," modeled like a high school prom, for people with special needs, according to Fox Sports' Jimmy Traina.
The event reportedly hosted more than 32,000 people.
"The Night to Shine movement is more than just a prom; it is a night where people with special needs shine and they are told that they matter, that they are important and that God has a plan for their life!" Tebow said, per Traina.

Sewer Backups
When Sanitary Sewers Backup
Your sanitary sewer is the system of underground pipes that carries sewage from bathrooms, sinks, kitchens, and other plumbing components to a wastewater treatment plant where it is filtered, treated and discharged. If your sanitary sewer is backed up:
Call your Sewer District first!
You can contact us 24 hours a day. After hours you will be directed to a phone or pager number, leave your name, phone number, and address. Your call will be returned.
Business Hours: (206) 242-3236
After Hours: (206) 501-8158
Don't sign a contract for sewer repair work without contacting Valley View Sewer District first.
Don't sign a contract to have your sewer line dug up and repaired unless you or your contractor consults with the District first.
Don't dig before calling 811. This one simple, free call could save you injury, time and money.
Why should you call the District first?
It can save you thousands of dollars.
A sewer district employee will quickly determine if the blockage is in the District's system, or in your plumbing or private side sewer. This is important! In the past homeowners have paid contractors to clear a blockage that was in the District's system.
- If the blockage is in the District's system, we will respond to clear the blockage.
- If the problem is in your private system, the District will assist you to determine the cause of the problem and the most cost-effective way to repair it.
- If you have already called a contractor to clear a blockage that turned out to be in the District's system, have the contractor contact Valley View directly for payment.
If your private sewer line must be dug up and repaired because of a break in the line, roots in the line, or some other problem:
- A permit is required from the District office to have your sewer line repaired.
- The District will provide you with its small works contractors list. We recommend you always get more than one bid for the repair work.
- Check with us if you have questions about the cost or extent of the proposed work.
- Valley View Sewer District has a program that allows you to finance private side sewer work.

What if my Storm Sewer is backed up?
The storm sewer is a system designed to carry rainfall runoff and other drainage. It is not designed to carry sewage or accept hazardous wastes. The runoff is carried in underground pipes or open ditches and discharges untreated into local streams, rivers and other surface water bodies. Storm drain inlets are typically found in curbs and low-lying outdoor areas. Some older buildings have basement floor drains that connect to the storm sewer system.
Valley View Sewer District is not responsible for storm sewers. If a storm sewer system is failing, call the appropriate city or county agency.

Hyundai Heavy Industriesיונדאי
Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) is the world's largest shipbuilder and among the top five manufacturers in other heavy industries.
The company's construction equipment division manufactures excavators, wheel loaders, skid steer loaders and forklift trucks, which are distributed in Israel through Efco Equipment -a large Israeli importer of construction machinery.
Hyundai's track excavators were used in many house demolitions in the Palestinian neighborhoods of Beit Hanina, Silwan, Tsur Baher, Issawiya and At-Tur in East Jerusalem. The company's tools also preformed demolitions in Beit Jala and in the villages of Jawaya and Derath in the South Hebron Hills.
Hyundai excavators were documented during construction works in the settlement of Halamish and in the Barkan Industrial Zone. They were also used in June 2016 in construction work by the Sarfati Simon construction company in the Pisgat Zeev settlement neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem.
On September 7th of 2016, the company was documented demolishing the house of Mr. Bassam Jamil Ibrahim in the village of Majdal Shams in the occupied Syrian Golan, reducing it to concrete rubble. On November 8th 2016, the company was documented again demolishing another Palestinian house in Issawiyya, a Palestinian neighborhood in East Jerusalem. For the full update on both demolitions please click here.
On 2 January 2017, Hyundai heavy machinery was documented during settlment construction work in the Salfit area of the occupied West Bank (near Ariel settlement). On 4 February 2017, the company was documented paving a new settler-only road in the West Bank, the Nabi Elias bypass road. Approximately 700 olive trees belonging to Palestinians in the area are slated to be uprooted for the construction of the road.

Oil is a finite resource it is produced by subterranean pressure over the course of millions of years. So what we've got is all we've got. Oil drillers go for the easy and most profitable crude first the stuff that requires the least energy to pump out of the ground and the least refining to make into a useable product. When that is gone, what's left is harder and more expensive to get at and deliver to the market.
The peak oil theory says that when we've pumped about half the crude in the world, demand for oil keeps rising but the supply falters. Maybe it hits an "undulating plateau." Maybe it falls in fits and starts. Maybe it drops like a stone. Off a cliff. But it falls leaving a widening gap between supply and demand. That will not only mean higher gas prices, but higher prices for just about everything because petroleum is the basis for many of the products we use. If oil runs short before there are alternatives available, expect big geopolitical shifts as nations vie for control of the oil reserves that remain.

Trump will talk tax reform in Pennsylvania speech
President Donald Trump will head to Harrisburg, Pa., on Wednesday to speak to a handpicked crowd of truckers, state lawmakers and manufacturers regarding his much anticipated tax reform plan.
Roughly 1,000 individuals were invited to attend the speech, which will take place inside a hangar at an Air National Guard base and feature actual trucks surrounding the president. PennLlive.com reported.
The president is expected to use the platform to address his proposal of eliminating the estate tax, which he and some congressional Republicans claim will provide relief for small business owners, as the tax causes "hell" and forces them out of business, the Hill reported.
Trump also will likely introduce people in the crowd as living examples to illustrate his view that the estate tax negatively affects families, PennLive.com reported.
However, the Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation argues abolishing the estate tax, also known as the "death tax," would mainly benefit the wealthy, as only 0.2 percent of Americans pay estate tax. One-percenters pay 27 percent of the total, the Hill reported.
Trump also will devote a significant portion of his speech to truckers, a "major beneficiary" of the tax plan, which proposes to lower the corporate tax rate to around 20 percent, although Trump hopes to see that number at 15 percent, a senior White House official told PennLive.com.
The tax alleviation would also allow manufacturers to spend more on production, thus providing truckers with more driving opportunities.
In addition, Republican lawmakers are also looking to reframe the current individual tax rate, from 39.6 percent to 35 percent, as well as simplify the complex tax code, and "deliver the lowest tax rates on businesses in modern history," Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, head of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, told reporters on Capitol Hill.
Not much detail has been revealed about one of Trump's most sought-after campaign promises, which has become front and center following Republicans' several failed attempts to repeal and replace ObamaCare.
Meanwhile, Fox News' Sean Hannity will have an exclusive sitdown interview with the president in Pennsylvania ahead of his speech Wednesday evening. Their conversation will cover everything from tax reform to trending news topics, as well as Trump's 70-point immigration plan.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.


text: What is the meaning of, "Next year in Jerusalem?" Have you ever thought about it? A dear friend of mine who is a 95 year old published author recently sent me this letter. With his permission, I have decided to use it as the centerpiece of my Op-ed. Here is his story: When I was a little boy, about 11 years old and 50 pounds, I took mandolin lessons from a Mr. Crabtree who lived on uptown King Street, Charleston, S.C., more than a mile from our home downtown at various places but all south of Market street. For pocket change in those days I sold newspapers and sometimes magazine subscriptions. I could buy newspapers hot off the press on Queen Street east of Meeting, two for a nickel and sell them for five cents each. After a while, the press went up on the price to me, a straight three cents each, and that cut into my profit, but I survived the inflation. Dad paid for the mandolin lessons, but it was up to me to make my way to Mr. Crabtree's house, more than a mile from home - at various places but all on King Street, south of Market Street. I could take a Belt Line trolley for 3 cents, but I preferred to trudge my way with my mandolin in a case up King Street and save the six cents, coming and going. I don't recall exactly how it happened, but I made friends with a Mr. Pyrtownsky, who operated a retail establishment - no, not a pawn shop - on upper King Street. Every day I would stop in to talk with Mr. Prytownsky, and every day, when I left his shop he would say "next year in Jerusalem." Imagine that! That was the year 1932, 16 years before the re-founding of the State of Israel in 1948, a little even before the beginning of the rise of Adolph Hitler. Imagine that! For 2,000 years the Jews had been removed from Jerusalem, and at that time, 1932, there was no realistic hope that they would ever return to Jerusalem, but it remained there for the 2,000 years in their hearts: "Next year in Jerusalem." For 2,000 years, although the Jews were physically driven from Jerusalem, it remained in their hearts and they vowed to return: "Next year in Jerusalem." Israel was re-founded upon its ancient lands in 1948, and the Jews took no nonsense in their language, "Jerusalem, the eternal, undivided capitol of Israel." All of Jerusalem is part of Israel; others may live there in safety and freedom, but no other people may claim it as part of their homeland. If the so-called "Palestinians" want to found a nation, they will have to look elsewhere for their capitol. What is it they wish for? Only this - a base from which to wage their war upon the Jews for the land. _____________ This is the meaning of, "Next Year in Jerusalem." My mentor and friend once told me, "Israel was birthed out of the ovens of Auschwitz." There can be no price, too high to pay, to hold onto her. How true! The Jews living in Israel do not take for granted the prayers, the tears, the incomprehensible suffering and genocide of their ancestors, which paved the way for the ground upon which they stand today. To the Jews living in America, Europe and throughout the world, Do not forget to remind your children: "Next Year in Jerusalem!"

Personal Summary
Following graduation in 1980 I worked in the telecommunications industry (eircom and it's previous incarnations) until 2010. Network planning, telecoms R&D and product management were my main areas of expertise and responsibility. I developed strong links with main suppliers (Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent) and academic institutes (WIT, TCD, DCU) so postgraduate research with TSSG was a logical progression.
Current Activities / Research Interests
My research centres on context awareness, sensor networks and nanotechnology in smart spaces from power-grids to embedded body networks. In particular I am studying the powering of nansensor networks to process information in smart spaces using energy harvesting from ultrasound.

As the month goes on, and the storms come and go -
We get some spectacular sunrises. The old adage holds true - "red skies at night, sailors delight, red skis in the morning, sailors take warning.
The shells accumulate on the water's edge.
The Cormorants join the migration south.
The waves increase in size leaving nice islands of sand,
For the Herring Gulls who winter here.
They are left to follow their own pursuits, watched by the occasional mother and child - and photographer.
The wind leaves interesting patterns in the sand at the base of the dunes.
The bay, covered with whitecaps, even at low tide throws spray over the bulkhead,
and drops waves onto the narrow beach.
But back at out house the holly tree, dug out of the pine lands nearly 70 years ago is covered with berries. It survives despite hurricanes and yearly trimming by the trash truck when we don't get to it.
Though most of our annual flowers have succumbed to the wind and salty air, the snapdragons have decided it is not yet time to give up the ghost, and bloom again.

text: As a powerful DHT based anabolic steroid Anadrol can rapidly increase size; it is not uncommon for increases in weight to reach 20-30lbs in mere weeks of use. Further, if that wasnt enough those who supplement with this steroid can expect to see their strength shoot through the roof; strength and size with full and well-rounded muscles, for many performance enhancers this is the end all be all. Of course before you plan any of your Anadrol cycles, although those are some amazing benefits that can be obtained youre going to need to know how to go about it. Contrary to popular culture belief you cannot simply supplement with anabolic steroids; you do not randomly pour a bottle of pills down your throat or arbitrarily jam a needle in your butt; there is planning, doses, length and what to stack.

By Rosemary Revell Democrat staff writer December 26, 2007 16:54
Photo by John Zachry THERESA ZACHRY organizes a program to create placemats for seniors. The placemats brighten the meals the seniors receive from the Home Delivered Meals service. One day in mid-December, placemats were spread out everywhere - 195 of them to be exact, all representing the art work of students in kindergarten through sixth grade at Gold Trail and Sutters Mill Schools.
The placemats were arranged like a sea of many colors, shining due to lamination, and they were all over the floor of the front lobby of Minuteman Press in Placerville. As well as having many colors, they also presented a variety of form and subject matter.
Since the placemats were destined for holiday, many had a Christmas theme while others were snowscapes or winterscapes, and some were smiley faces guaranteed to warm the heart of any senior recipient. Some placemats bore the name of the artist while others were inscribed with messages such as 'Hi, I hope you have a nice day.'
The placemats are the brain child of Theresa Zachry, 10, of Placerville, daughter of John and Carolyn Zachry. Theresa generated the idea as a project for the Girl Scouts of America Bronze Award, so she arranged for the art work and raised the funds that paid for laminating. She then engaged in distributing the placemats to seniors as a Christmas gift from the kids of El Dorado County.
Hot idea
The idea for Christmas placemats began one very hot July day.
'Over the summer, I was doing Home Delivered Meals with Rita Timewell (co-innkeeper of the Albert Shafsky House), and on one of the very hot days I made snowflakes to keep the seniors cool,' Theresa explained.
In a cooler time of year, Theresa was faced with the challenge of coming up with a project of worth.
'My mom and I were talking about what I needed to do to earn my Bronze Award for Girl Scouts. For the Bronze Award, you have to have a certain amount of badges in (specific) areas and then a project that spans 48 hours. Then we thought of placemats for seniors.'
The placemat project entailed quite a number of executive tasks for the Gold Trail School fifth grader. Theresa's first task was to arrange for the art work and placemats.
'I talked to the principals of Gold Trail and Sutters Mill, and they thought it was a wonderful idea,' said Theresa.
The principals talked to their teachers, and the teachers arranged for their students to draw or make a picture on placemat sized art paper.
'Most of the kids in the schools except for the 7th-and 8th-graders made a placemat,' Theresa said.
After acquiring the mats, Theresa's next task was to raise money to defray the cost of materials and labor for lamination.
'I raised money from Kiwanis, Network El Dorado and the Community Foundation - Steve Healy. I got $800 all together. I collected the placemats and my dad had them laminated,' Theresa said.
'I charged her for it, though. It took one employee all day,' said John Zachry, 50, owner/operator of Minuteman Press.
Theresa's remaining task for the Bronze Award was to make sure the placemats reach the target recipients.
'Everyone who does Home Delivered Meals is take some placemats, and my mom and I are passing them out at senior centers,' she said. 'The project took a long time. It was pretty hard.'
'Theresa already has a sense of community. My wife and I have been volunteers and on boards of directors, so she has seen that in her parents. She thinks of others first,' said John.
Zachry also said Theresa has natural entrepreneurial instincts as well as artistic tendencies.
'Whenever she spends time at Minuteman Press, she does artwork and sells it to customers. She's a rather persuasive little salesperson,' he said.
Theresa's art specialty is making refrigerator art for adults who do not have kids or grandchildren to make it for them.
'The ultimate goal of this Bronze Award project is to lighten up the day of a senior at one of the senior centers or the folks who receive Home Delivered Meals. The placemats are for them to keep and to remind them that our kids today really do care,' John said.
The Bronze Award is the highest honor a Junior Girl Scout can earn. It requires her to learn the leadership and planning skills necessary to follow through on a project that makes a positive impact on her community.
A group of Junior Girl Scouts themselves actually instituted the Bronze Award in 2001 in Savannah, Ga.
The four requirements to be eligible for the Bronze Award are: to earn two badges related to the project; to complete one of the Girl Scout Signs found in the 'Junior Girl Scout Handbook;' to earn the Junior Aide Award or the Junior Girl Scout Leadership Award or two other awards; and to complete a project specifically for the Bronze Award.

My qualifications for this book begin with a BA in Public History from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I was a 'non-traditional' student, which simply means that a lot of students, much younger than I, asked me what I was doing there. I'm also a member of the Phi Alpha Theta National History Honor Society.
Public History is a somewhat new field that focuses on relaying history and historical information to the general public at places such as museums, historical buildings, and national parks and monuments. My real interest lies in the research behind it all.
I also have over 40 years of genealogy research in the bag and am a member of the Genealogical Speakers Guild. My specialty is deciphering old handwriting. I prefer to go back and study the information in original documents and am known for finding things that no one else has the patience to look for. Since 2006, I've given presentations at many regional genealogical societies as well as The Library of Michigan in Lansing and Ford World Headquarters in Dearborn.
I am a hobbyist musician having picked up the violin at age 10 and the guitar at age 14. In the early 1970s, my goal was to be a female Neil Young (yes, I admit it) although I was taught how to play by a blues guitarist. I'm a tenor and try my best to sound like vocalist Linda Thompson. To sum up, I have classical, acoustic, blues, and British doom and gloom in my repertoire.

It's coming to the end of term, and as a teacher I've found myself very busy with little in the way of modeling time! However, to prove that this is still an on-going project, here's some of my latest work!
This has been a LONG process. I need too many books for the shelves for bitz websites to have enough, so I've been making them using thin plasticard. It takes a suprisingly long time to make 10-12 (which is what I tend to make as a batch), and it takes 17-24 to fill a shelf. And there are 9 shelves, 32 cubby holes, and so on.
So, a long haul piece of work. However, the room itself is finished, so can be painted, and each self glued in place as and when I finish one! It will be a few weeks before I can get shots of this (end of term, wedding and honeymoon will sort of fill that time...), but hopefully they'll come soon enough.
More pics available in my 3D Space Hulk Gallery.

Keisuke Yamada
Keisuke Yamada is a PhD student in ethnomusicology at the University of Pennsylvania. He specializes in the music of Japan. His research interests include traditional Japanese music, iemoto guild systems, social theory, performance theory, critical organology, material culture, ecomusicology, cultural extinction, human and nonhuman agency, multispecies ethnography, popular music fandom, media studies, and media ecology. Keisuke is currently working on a long-term ethnographic project involving shamisen (Japanese three-stringed musical instrument) in East and South East Asia and North America, especially focusing on transnational circulation of raw materials that constitute the instrument. Through this organological study, he attempts to examine creative––and sometimes conflictive––intersections and interconnections of music, natural sciences, and technology.
Keisuke is a contributing author to Asian Music (forthcoming) and Journal of World Popular Music (forthcoming). He is also at work on a book for Bloomsbury Publishing's new 33-1/3 Japan Series. This book focuses on the Japanese eleven-piece creator group Supercell and its eponymous first album Supercell (2009), which features virtual pop idol Hatsune Miku. He has presented papers on topics of both Japanese traditional and popular musics at the national conferences of the Society for Ethnomusicology and the international conference of the International Council for Traditional Music. Keisuke has earned a BM in Jazz Studies (summa cum laude) from DePaul University, Chicago in June 2011, and an MM in Historical Musicology (honors) from Northwestern University, Evanston in June 2012.

|What is the best INDOOR flowering plant
|Each flowering houseplant has its own requirements when it comes to blooming, but most will do best with bright indirect light like you'd find near (but not directly in the sun) a west- or south-facing window. Keep plants away from cold drafts and maintain vigorous growth with regular water and fertilizer. Here are five of the very best: Chenile plant (Acalypha hispida) produces fuzzy, long, red, cat tail-like blooms that dangle from the ends of the branches. It grows best in bright light and high humidity - great for sunny kitchen window. Bromeliads are tubular, succulent plants that produce tall spikes of dazzling flowers. There are many types to choose from, some with brightly colored foliage. Grow in bright, indirect light and loose soil kept on the dry side. Some are epiphytes (they grow naturally in the bark of trees) and can be grown on pieces of wood, cork, or dried branches. African violets (Saintpaulia) are dainty plants with fuzzy leaves and beautiful clusters of white, red, pink and purple blooms. They prefer bright indirect light, even moisture and regular fertilizer. Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera) is a cascading plant with dangling succulent branches tipped with bright rosy red blooms around Christmas. It blooms best with bright indirect light and long, cool nights in November. Fertilize and water regularly. Spathiphyllums are sometimes called peace lilies and are one of the most reliable blooming houseplants. The shiny, dark green leaves are topped by stunning bright white blooms with a strong tropical feel. Some types are small plants, just a foot or two high; others can reach up to 6 feet high. The taller the plant, the bigger the blooms. Flowers best in bright, indirect light but will do well in low light. Water regularly and fertilize often. When these plants are not in flower, they still have attractive foliage. Enjoy!

My one week off begins today. I am so glad I get to rest with my family for a week as it is the half term. I am looking forward to getting back to writing posts for the blog and cleaning the house. It has definitely been put on the back burner. I also hope to exercise this week because I haven't been doing as much as I want to do especially with work. I am also looking forward to getting nearer to my one year anniversary for the blog. I am so grateful for all you guys and for all your views, likes, comments and follows. Here is to a great anniversary!
Peace and Love,

Saying the foundations of representative government are at stake, Senate Republicans on Thursday filibustered a tax cuts package to protest Democrats' denial of a chance to offer amendments.
But the vote, the second GOP filibuster this week, created an unusual situation in which Republicans opposed tax reductions and Democrats championed them, saying veterans, teachers, college students and others will suffer if the cuts aren't approved by the end of the year.
Hours earlier, Democrats announced that they would take the first steps early next month to try to change the First Amendment's free speech protections, overturning Supreme Court precedent and giving Congress the right to limit who can spend money in elections and how much they are allowed to spend.
Fights over the constitutional amendment and the way the Senate is being run underscored a toxic atmosphere as Democrats fight to preserve their majority and Republicans sense a chance to gain control of the chamber in November's elections.

SOURCE: Ellsworth Fund Ltd.
January 20, 2015 16:30 ET
MORRISTOWN, NJ--(Marketwired - Jan 20, 2015) - The Board of Trustees of Ellsworth Fund Ltd. (NYSE MKT: ECF) announced today that it had declared a dividend of 10.75 cents ($0.1075) per share. The dividend is payable on February 26, 2015 to shareholders of record on February 12, 2015. Based on our current estimates, the Fund anticipates that approximately $0.0962 per share of the dividend will be paid from accumulated net investment income, and approximately $0.0113 per share will represent a return of capital. These estimates and the sources of the Fund's dividends and distributions are determined at the time of declaration. However dividends and distributions are subject to re-characterization for tax purposes after the end of the fiscal year. A non-taxable return of capital, if any, cannot be determined until after the end of the Fund's fiscal year. Shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment of distributions via Form 1099-DIV.
As previously reported, the Fund has adopted a minimum distribution policy pursuant to which it will distribute to its shareholders each fiscal year (ending September 30) an aggregate amount of money which equals or exceeds 5% of the average of the closing prices of Fund shares on the last trading day of each month in such fiscal year. Such distributions will be made from undistributed investment income or realized capital gains, but may also include the return of capital. The minimum distribution policy will be subject to regular review by the Board of Trustees and may be terminated prospectively at any time.
The average of the closing prices of Fund shares on the last trading day of each month thus far in fiscal year 2015 is approximately $8.59. If such average were to remain at such amount throughout the remainder of fiscal year 2015 (which, of course, cannot be assured), then the Fund would distribute to shareholders not less than $0.43 per share during 2015 pursuant to the minimum distribution policy.
Effective immediately the Board of Trustees of the Fund also announced that the name of the Fund has been changed to "Ellsworth Growth and Income Fund Ltd." The name change reflects the evolution of the Fund's portfolio from one consisting almost exclusively of convertible securities to one consisting of convertible and equity securities. The evolution of the Fund's investment strategy is not only consistent with the charter and mandate of the Fund but also offers the chance for increased growth and income for Fund shareholders. This opportunity results from the higher income obtainable from an increasing proportion of dividend paying equity securities in the portfolio and also as a result of the increased possibility of obtaining capital gains on the equities purchased. The Trustees believe the name change is consistent with the Fund's current investment objectives and strategy which they believe to be in the best interests of shareholders.
In accordance with the revised share repurchase program adopted by its Board of Trustees (up to 7% of the Fund's outstanding shares or approximately 920,000 shares), the Fund began making open market purchases of its shares in December 2014. As of January 16, 2015, the Fund had repurchased 93,788 shares in the open market pursuant to the repurchase program at an aggregate cost of $799,487, or approximately $8.54 per share. The weighted average discount of the purchase prices of such transactions to the net asset values of the shares on the corresponding purchase date was approximately 15.77%. Purchases pursuant to the repurchase program have been made in accordance with the limitations of Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The extent to which the Fund repurchases its shares and the timing of such repurchases depends on market conditions and other considerations as determined by the Fund's management team, and in accordance with the limitations of Rule 10b-18.
Ellsworth Growth and Income Fund Ltd. operates as a closed-end, diversified management investment company and invests in convertible and equity securities, with the objectives of providing income and the potential for capital appreciation, which objectives the Fund considers to be relatively equal, over the long-term, due to the nature of the securities in which it invests. Fund shares trade on the NYSE MKT Exchange under the ticker symbol ECF.

Conditional Clauses Grammar Guide
Conditional clauses or If clauses are usually covered between pre-intermediate and intermediate levels. They are pretty easy to form, however, their meanings are a bit problematic for students. Students typically have difficulties in choosing the correct one when they need to use them. Besides, mastering the conditional clauses help students improving their language production. Especially, when they want to produce strong arguments, they'll use conditional clauses naturally.
In this grammar guide, conditional clauses are summarised in one-page PDF handout. Also, a special interest is given to the meaning of conditional sentences. The difference between the meanings of type zero, first, second and third are scrutinised together in a chain of questions which will help your students decide the correct If clause when they want to use them. In the PDF set, there are two versions. The first page is an activity handout, which will be useful in revising conditionals and the second one is a grammar reference handout for conditionals.

The "Built-In Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulator" is a new concept for speeding development of higher level navigation- and communication-based control systems constructed on automated base platforms [1]. The basic idea is to extend the software of the platform controller, so that includes not only the algorithms needed for operation, but also simplified real-time models of the actuator, sensor and vehicle dynamics to provide a "Built-In HIL" mode. Unlike conventional HIL simulators, Built-In HIL simulators can switch from HIL operation to the live configuration immediately, without hardware changes, so virtual experiments can be immediately repeated in the real operating environment.
Built-In HIL Simulation helps to reduce development times by shifting debugging efforts to the laboratory and reducing iterations in a typical Rapid Control Prototyping cycle. Built-In HIL is more intuitive to use than a conventional HIL setup, giving it advantages in education and training as well as system development. The concept of the "Built-in-HIL" simulator is illustrated by applying it to the development of a vehicle guidance system involving interconnected, car-like model scale vehicles.
