In This Section
Family Day Care is a flexible home-based child care and education service that offers a safe, secure, caring and familiar environment for young babies through to pre-teens. More than 203,000 children attend Family Day Care across Australia, learning from fully qualified Educators who are carefully selected by a Family Day Care Coordination Unit.
For more details about enrolling your child in Family Day Care or becoming a Family Day Care Educator read the information below or call us on (03) 5018 8271.
There are more than 35 registered Family Day Care Educators throughout the Mildura region. Educators work from their homes across the Mildura Rural City Local Government Area as well as Wentworth Shire.
Every educator is carefully selected, has a genuine love of children and the skills and resources necessary to provide a caring, stimulating environment for children to learn and grow.
To gain registration, Family Day Care Educators must be 18 years or over and meet strict requirements including a Certificate III in Children's Services qualification, Working with Children and Police Checks, National Quality Standards and induction training and home safety assessments.
As the local Family Day Care Coordination Unit, Mildura Rural City Council is responsible for recruiting, screening, training and providing ongoing support for Family Day Care Educators throughout our region. Council staff make unannounced home visits to see children in care and to support and monitor the service. These visits are documented. Spot Checks and formal assessment visits from the State Government Department of Education and Training are also made. Family Day Care is approved under the Education and Care Services National Law Act 2010 and the Education and Care Services National Regulations 2011.
Council's Family Day Care service has a rating of 'Meeting' the National Quality Standard and was awarded the National 2015 Excellence in Family Day Care Award for the state of Victoria.
One of the best things about Family Day Care is its flexibility to suit the individual and changing needs of families. Full and part time care, casual care, after and before school care and school holiday care is available. Family Day Care can also accommodate children whose parents work shifts, and may require overnight or weekend care.
Family Day Care Educators can care for up to seven children in total – four children under school age and up to three children attending primary school. These numbers also include the Educator's own children.
Educators work hard to provide the babies and children in their care with relationships and learning experiences that extend and enrich children's learning. Activities are planned to suit each child's individual needs.
Family Day Care staff and Educators are able to discuss specific additional care or special requirements children may have.
Each Family Day Care educator sets their own fees. Charges are calculated on an hourly rate, ranging from between $6.90 and $10 per child for 'core' care from 8am to 6pm weekdays. Care outside these times is charged at a different rate.
The Australian Government provides financial assistance to help families cover the costs of child care. This assistance can greatly reduce the cost of Family Day Care. Subsidies are available to eligible families and can be obtained by contacting the Department of Human Services.
To enrol in Family Day Care please complete an Enrolment Form for each child and return it together with the items on the Enrolment Checklist to the Deakin Avenue Service Centre at 76 Deakin Avenue, Mildura. You can contact the Coordination Unit if you need to discuss your care needs at any time during the enrolment process. The Coordination Unit will seek placement with an educator based on your requirements. Once an appropriate educator has been found the Coordination Unit will contact you and you can arrange to meet the educator.
Do you enjoy the company of children? Do you want to make a difference in their lives by providing quality care and learning experiences from your own home? If you answered yes, Family Day Care may be for you. A career in Family Day Care offers flexibility, stability and support. While Educators are self-employed, they are carefully selected, trained, supported and approved by Council's Family Day Care coordination unit.

I've heard a lot of fretting about the graying of the Las Cruces arts community.
It's true that we have a lot of dynamic artists who continue to be productive and innovative in their 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and even 90s, but I don't think we have to worry about new generations carrying the torch.
I thought about that when Cheech Marin was talking to students from Alma d'arte Charter High School before the opening of "Chicanitas," a collection of paintings from the celebrity's private collection of emerging Latino artists, running through July 19 at the Las Cruces Museum of Art.
"You are the face of change. You are the mainstream. This is a little guerilla army of art. Shows like this are about getting yourselves and everyone else used to the idea," Marin told the students.
And I think that applies to more than any particular ethnic groups or Borderland cultures, though celebration of diversity is a big part of what distinguishes the arts in New Mexico. Santa Fe became one of the top three arts markets in the United States, I'd say, by nurturing inspiration and growth springing from fecund tricultural roots.
Las Cruces could be poised to take that a step further, based on the efforts of Mesilleros and native Las Cruces artists who chose to stay here or return, joining newcomers who are committed to nurturing and encouraging new generations of artists. And the commitment extends beyond the visual arts, to theater, film, multimedia enterprises, dance, vocal and instrumental music, fiestas and special events (like the international Mariachi conference which has trained and inspired thousands of singers, songwriters, dancers and musicians) and artistic business owners.
I could fill several columns with lists of individuals and groups who have gone to extraordinary lengths to provide opportunities for young and emerging artists and support and promote their creative efforts: Mark and Stephanie Medoff, J. Paul Taylor, Irene Oliver Lewis, Heather Pollard, Marianna Gabbi, Lonnie Klein, Jerry Ann Alt, Glenn and Sally Cutter, Carolyn and Henry Bunch, Kevin and Michele Self, the Border Artists, the Doña Ana Arts Council, the Las Cruces Arts Association, No Strings Theatre Company, Mikey's Place, Creative Media Institute and the Las Cruces Community Theatre, just to name a few, along with legions of supportive teachers, parents, friends and patrons who encouraged artistic inclinations during tough economic times.
And in recent years, I've encountered some inventive young entrepreneurs who have established multipurpose, art-infused cabarets and restaurants (think Boba Café), artists' cooperatives like West End Art Depot and free-wheeling shows, like Rokoko Gallery's imaginatively themed exhibits that welcome young and emerging artists.
Some are finding imaginative ways to make a living and make art on their own terms, promoting art exhibits and music venues at sites that also offer everything from coffee and pastries to haircuts and tattoos.
And some brave and creative young souls are starting their own galleries and online arts enterprises.
Read about Derek Roberts, whose Art Obscura Gallery offers cutting-edge art, along with antiques and collectibles, in today's SunLife section.
Like Roberts, Luke Navarro wanted to find a way to do his own art and also provide a venue for other artists. He opened The Trunk, an eclectic art gallery and toy emporium, at 1690 S. Valley Drive, near the World Gym. To get the word out, he used social media and projected sci-fi movies on the outside of his out-of-the-way white building.
"On opening night, we were blown away by the amount of people who came. We counted 311 people, shoulder to shoulder," Navarro said.
He's part of a growing trend. Artistic passions are the mothers of many inventions here for young artists who want to live in Las Cruces and still pursue their artistic careers.
Jamila Hull creates sensitive portraits, which she offers online at jellywell.com, and at her booth at the Las Cruces Farmers and Crafts Market.
Her motto could be a credo for a generation of innovative young artists: "If you can get away with doing what you love, do it, and if not, do it anyway," said Hull, who has studied art in Italy and interned at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., but feels she's found her dream job in her own home town.
"I produce everything and do all my own marketing. It's hard to predict or figure out what is going to work. I get people of all ages, and a lot of people from the Las Cruces Farmers and Crafts Market. The market is incredible. I feel so blessed with the sense of community there. It's so funky and eclectic: the best way to spend Saturday," Hull told me.

I am one of those insane people who think casting on for a blanket is a good idea. I keep thinking that it'll decrease my stash, and yet I don't think I've completely used up a ball of yarn in one of these projects. In fact I think I may have added to my yarn stash because of these. Add to the fact that I've learned to do granny squares in crochet *insert a victory dance here* and that I still haven't finished my bee keeper's quilt, well I may be drowning in blankets.
And yet I have finished two of these stash busting projects!
The Weasley Blanket
It will come as a surprise to no-one but I am a huge Harry Potter fan. I went on the studio tour with my husband as part of our honeymoon week.
So for me to have something Potter without outwardly screaming; "HARRYPOTTERHARRYPOTTER" is a good thing. And it's a replica.
It's the Ron Weasley Blanket by Penguineer and here is my version.
I have loved knitting this, each square has been lovingly researched and you can knit it up with stash! I loved that aspect so stash was used.
I used 5mm needles and DK yarn. I even managed a neat single crochet border.
It's great to be curled up underneath it with my husband.
And talking of husbands! [What a great transition].
Wedding Blanket
My friend recently got married!
So since they announced their engagement I've been knitting log cabin squares to make into a colourful blanket. Pretty, huh? I almost didn't want to part with it.
You can see it's project page as there's no pattern for it.
It's been knit out of various DK yarns on 4.5mm needles.

Do you ever get those moments where in a certain brand that typically sells semi okay makeup, you find that hidden gem that is actually an amazing product. This is what's after happening with me with regards to this palette by W7 Makeup. I've always gotten sucked into W7 Makeup's products because of the amount of hype they get on social media and never have I tried a product from them that I have actually liked until now.
This is the Naughty Nine Mid Summer Nights palette and if you're a devotee of MAC Cosmetics then this palette packaging shouldn't be un-familiar to you. It's literally a direct copy of the 9 pan palettes that MAC own. That aside, the eyeshadows in this palette are almost as good as the eyeshadows in those MAC ones.
The palette, very true to it's name, comes with 9 eyeshadows and they are very much from the berry colour family. They range from almost a soft dusky mauve to an amazing intense cranberry red, with the odd gold and taupe shade thrown in for good measure.
These eyeshadows are buttery soft, blend out seamlessly and have almost little to no fallout whatsoever to them. I particularly like the pigmentation of the shimmer shades more than the mattes but that only because I prefer the colour of those shades.
This palette only costs 4.95 euros, putting that next to the 33.50 euros price tag of the MAC one, I can overlook the copyright details in the packaging.

The Overweening Generalist is largely about people who like to read fat, weighty "difficult" books - or thin, profound ones - and how I/They/We stand in relation to the hyper-acceleration of digital social-media-tized culture. It is not a neo-Luddite attack on digital media; it is an attempt to negotiate with it, and to subtly make claims for the role of generalist intellectual types in the scheme of things.

Brief Take on the Stickiness of Religion, 1965-2011
Some of the religious thinkers "liked" the idea that religion was on its way out, and the demise of religion was hailed by a seemingly large minority of highbrow religious thinkers because they - as I read them - saw the Churches as too demystified, too watered-down. They sought a renewed private or small-group mysticism, a renewal of the feeling of the mysterium tremendum.
The world was seen as rapidly secularizing, and most of the books I read from that period seemed to think this was not only accelerating, but inevitable, and basically a good thing for society. Of course there were many conservatives and religious thinkers who thought this was the harbinger of the end of the world, and there was some interesting writing on eschatology, from estimable people like Russell Kirk.
But yea, anyway...almost all those books and those great thinkers turned out to be wrong. Why?
One of the gods of sociology, Max Weber, thought that rationalization (which we would see as almost synonymous with modernization) would historically and progressively provide a "disenchantment of the world." Enlightenment rationality would further increase, and overarching collective myths that cohered and provided a consensus for all values and beliefs would weaken. The values and beliefs handed down to us would begin to seem less and less plausible, and maybe humanity would be forced to think for themselves?
No, how could that have been correct? But this view seems widely held by intellectuals during this period, of circa 1965-72 or so. (I have only read a few small stacks of academic books from this period, but this is augmented by intellectuals who have written books lately, who have reflected back on this period of the 1960s and confirmed what I'm saying here.)
The Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago
Here's basically what I think went wrong in intellectual thought: they assumed this ongoing, accelerating process of rationalization would lead to more and more plurality, which would lead to more and more secularism.
And it seems modernity/rationalization does seem to lead to pluralism - more choices for "belief" - but pluralism did not inexorably lead to secularism. People indeed did have more and more choices, but quite often they chose religion.
Now, it seems I'm begging the question: why the stickiness of religion? Even in a vastly pluralistic society of choice? (Remind me to bring up Giambattista Vico's "conceit of scholars.")
I will leave this Q beggared, as my answers would be too windy right now, and I hope someone else has better answers than I do.
Mutt: This guy seems nuts to even think religion would go away. Both he and the 1960s intellectuals he vaguely says he's read.
Jute: Yep. Just another Internet pseudo-intellectual. Does he even realize no one really cared what the "intellectuals" - that group that Woody Allen compared to the Mafia: "They only kill their own" - thought, either in 1965 or now?
Mutt: Agreed. Hey, this new software that allows us to easily hack into some dipshit blogger's inane "observations" and add our own comment...this is pretty fun!
Jute: Totally worth the $2, even in today's money. I wonder what will go through his mind when he wakes up tomorrow and sees this? Hey! Let's go invade another blog, shall we? I'm drivin'.
Mutt: Shotgun!
*Mutt and Jute are kindly on loan from the good people over at Finnegans Wake, Universe Next Door Productions. Thanks to everyone! It's been quite a ride!

Thank you for bringing this up Goddess! Kudos!? Whatever your name. Good title! Yes, "sticky". In my view, annoyingly sticky. Like a super glue. It just does not go away. WHY is almost everything in the US wrapped in religion? Can anyone end his/her speech without; "God bless America"? Americans (and not just Americans) seem to really like that opium.
Let me remind you my fellow Americans, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison supported the separation of church and state. They both often wrote of "total separation of the church from the state". Madison wrote: "Strongly guarded as is the separation between Religion & Govt in the Constitution of the US". And he declared. "practical distinction between Religion and Civil Government is essential to the purity of both, and as guaranted by the Constitution of the United States." (JM, "Monopolies, Perpetuities Corporations - Ecclesiastical Endowments")
Where is the respect for Jefferson? Where is the respect for Madison?
On a refreshing and on the 21st century note, President of Croatia, Ivo Josipovic, declares himself AGNOSTIC! Howz that for the prez?
Hey, we've got afro-american prez! What's next? An atheist?
Here is a historic example of lessening religious mood: with postwar government programs of modernization in Yugoslavia and with very strict separation of church and state the percentage of religious believers took a 30% plunge from 1948 - 1964. In just 15 years. I guess, some figured, it was not the end of the world if life does not evolve around church. There are many other places to go to and visit.
To paraphrase George Carlin, religion seems to be all about who's god has bigger dick. (Sorry I do not recall exact quote.) And, sorry for this long comment, but this topic just gets me on the roll.

While not ostensibly about religion, John Michael Greer's blog post on philosophy and magic addresses the limitations of reason and the human need for means to put "rational" insights into "non-rational" practice. I think much of what he says at The Archdruid Report is relevant to this question. If his predictions of what peak oil will mean for human society are true, I think religion (for good and ill) will be making quite a comeback in the next century.

@Thom: Thanks for the head's up on Greer's blog. I like the idea of using rational thought in the service of the non-rational. It seems to fit squarely with Crowley's project. "Our method is science/our aim is religion."
Some of the more interesting under-40 thinkers I like seem aligned with this idea, and know much more than older academics, although Anthropologists seem to have always been on to this.
I wonder about Peak Oil. And even Peak Water, which has me even more nervous.
Good to hear from you, Foolery.

Obama on immigration
President Obama in his final address to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus called for help on immigration saying, ''This is not something that the President can do alone....no matter how tough she is.'' Rough Cut (no reporter narration).

Obama said, "We are going to have to push back against bluster and falsehoods and promises of higher walls.' "Throughout this political season the talk around these issues has cut deeper than it has in years past, it's a little more personal, it's a little meaner, a little uglier," Obama said. He said that kind of rhetoric may carry the day in the short term. "But in this nation of immigrants, unless you are a Native American you came here from someplace else." Obama's remarks come as Republican Donald Trump has drawn even or taken a slight lead in national polls. Polls in battleground states where the race is likely to be decided showed Trump now leading in Iowa, Ohio, Florida and Nevada, and tied in North Carolina.

This July 2010, experience aromatic pleasure with Bang cologne for men, the newest men's fragrance in the Marc Jacobs cologne collection. Created by Ann Gottlieb, Bang for men was made for the "contemporary guy, who, even if he isn't young, has a younger spirit." Top notes begin with white and pink pepper that blend into a wild heart of masculine woody notes. An intimidating base features elemi resin, aromatic benzoin, vetiver, white moss and patchouli. Marc Jacobs said, "I wanted to do something that I would love." He continued, "I particularly like spice notes, especially pepper, so that became a starting place." (wwd)
Top: White Pepper, Pink Pepper
Middle: Woody Notes
Bottom: Elemi Resin, Aromatic Benzoin, Vetiver, White Moss, Patchouli
Attractive, bold, and sophisticated, Bang for men takes you to a never ending world of discovery. Bang, arriving in a 50 ml and 100 ml Eau De Toilette metal flacon, is shaped as if it remained in the aftermath of an epic explosion. The collection includes matching body products: 50 ml Aftershave Balm 150ml, 200ml Body and Hair Bath and 75 ml Bang Stick Deodorant. (see)
Advertising campaign for Bang is, well, a BANG! Featuring Marc Jacobs himself, he commented, "My immediate reaction was, I don't know. But then I came to see that it made sense. Men's fragrance, unlike women's in a certain way, is very personal." The ad features Marc nude with the new fragrance between his legs, validating the masculinity of the scent. The Marc Jacobs men's collection includes Marc Jacobs Men cologne for men launched in 2002. (See more Marc Jacobs)

By Chad Kelly for The Island Connection
Many of us have felt that moment of panic when we saw flashing lights in our rear view mirror or heard sirens. What do I do? Do I pull over? Should I speed up? Do I stay where I am? So what do we do?
SC Code of Laws Section 56-5-2360 states: Operation of vehicles on approach of authorized emergency vehicles. (a) Upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency vehicle making use of an audible signal meeting the requirements of Section 56-5-4970 and visual signals meeting the requirements of Section 56-5-4700, or of a police vehicle properly and lawfully making use of an audible signal or visual signal, the driver of every other vehicle traveling along a two-lane roadway shall yield the right-of-way and shall immediately drive to a position parallel to, and as close as possible, to the right hand edge or curb of the roadway clear of any intersection and shall stop and remain in that position until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed, except when otherwise directed by a police officer. A driver of a vehicle traveling along a multi lane roadway shall yield the right-of-way and shall remain in, or move to a location that allows the emergency vehicle or police vehicle to pass safely, except as otherwise directed by a police officer.
So what does this mean to you? Basically, if you are on a two lane road, such as River Rd., no matter which direction you are going pull to the side and stop until the emergency vehicle has passed. However, if you are on a multi lane road, such as Betsy Kerrison, move to the outside lane and allow the emergency vehicle to pass. Do not panic and slam on the brakes. Emergency vehicles are also watching for you but emergency vehicles cannot stop as fast as your car.
Seconds count in an emergency so always yield the right of way to emergency vehicles. As always if you have any questions or need a smoke detector installed feel free to contact the St. John's Fire/Rescue, Fire Prevention Division.

Government announcement passes AA members' MoT test
Today's Department for Transport announcement indicating no change in the timing of MoT tests is a victory for common sense, 80% of AA members would agree.
There is room for improvement to the test and the AA strongly welcomes the Government's decision to put it up on the ramp and ask those who rely on its protection what can be done.
Although not something that drivers look forward to, the value of the MoT test as a safety net to catch dangerous cars is undeniable. AA Populus research among 18,732 AA members last July found that 94% of them considered the test important for UK road safety (71% very important).
Greater transparency with test data, such as tyre wear specific to a town or above average light failures that police may need to tackle on the road, could be beneficial to drivers and local authorities alike. Tighter procedures to spot and deter clocking would be of enormous value.
The AA is delighted that the Transport Secretary has listened to the views of AA members who support the annual frequency of the MoT test
Edmund King, AA president
Edmund King, AA President, said: "The AA is delighted that the Transport Secretary has listened to the views of AA members who support the annual frequency of the MoT test. We also welcome the decision to include mileage information on MOT certificates, which will help people buying used cars understand their history. There are other ways the MoT can be improved and we will be polling our members to seek their views on making the test more relevant to today's motoring."

On Thursday, as part of the Liberty and Economic Freedom Speaker Series, we had Dr. Jeffrey Dorfman visit campus. His talk, "How the well-meaning government hurts the poor" was supurb. I was pleased that about 250-275 people showed up in Degenstein Theatre to see him talk: approximately 10% of the student body was there!
The biggest thing I learned was about the magnitude of the disincentives faced by the working poor to gain raises or promotions. At one point in the talk, he described the incentives faced by a single mom. If she earns under $29,000, she will receive many extra government benefits. But once she hits $29,000, she starts losing so much in benefits that she won't have the same level of after-tax income/benefits until she earns $69,000! That is terrible policy and gives the working poor an incentive to NOT seek promotions or acquire additional human capital.
One main problem is all of the different government agencies have their rules on when benefits get phased out, but most are in the same income range. I left the talk somewhat depressed, as the easy solution for this would be to abolish all the welfare programs and replace them with cash payments. The political likelihood of that happening soon, however, is next to zero.

Our very good friend Hide from Japan is back!
He was here for a few weeks last February and has returned to finish up projects from last visit and do new work (in what is shaping up to be semi regular guest spot).
If you missed it the first go round, Hide is a member of the Horitoshi Family in Tokyo (a link to some of their work is to the right) and does traditional Japanese hand poke tattooing (tebori).
It is a fairly unique experience to be able to get this style of work outside of Japan, especially from a member of such a famous and amazing tattoo family.
He's been pretty booked up from word of mouth already, but there are still a few appointments available over the next few weeks...
If interested, feel free to email through this page or call the studio at (707) 826-0456.

Bashaer Othman - Youngest Female Major for Over 2 months
Out of 255 members at the Local Youth Council in Allar, 12 boys and girls were elected to work as members of the municipality and Bashaer Othman was elected to become the mayor for 2 months. Bashaer Othman received the title as the youngest mayor at 16 years old (Age at appointment when she was 15 years old). She is also entitled The Worlds Youngest Major Award "from the World Peace Movement (WPM).Othman, a usual contender in poetry and reading competitions in her town, thinks youth can start by reading. "The library has been sitting there for years. The books are old and no one wants to go there." Bashaer Othman has all the support she needs from Allar's regular mayor, Sufian Shadid, who handed the power to her for two months The youngster says she meets with the mayor everyday for an hour and they go over the projects she is working on.

Japanese company Obayashi has announced that they will have a space elevator constructed by 2050. The elevator will reach 96,000 km (60,000 mi) into space and will transport people and cargo to a new space station. It will also serve as a port to transport astronauts to Mars and beyond. Watch the video below to learn more about their concept.
A Japanese company wants to build a space elevator by 2050.Soundtrack by: Thomas Lemmer
Posted by Hashem Al-Ghaili on Wednesday, September 28, 2016
"The construction process consists of deploying the cable and constructing the facilities. It is necessary to analyze the cable dynamics in order to estimate the characteristics of the cable, counter-weight, facilities and climbers, and in order to determine the construction procedures. Parameters for the cable dynamics include tension, displacement and elongation of the cable due to ascending climbers, masses of counter-weight and cable, wind, and fixed loads of facilities. With the help of a computer simulation of the equations of motion, we designed the system and determined the construction process." ~ Obayashi

Block copolymers represent a unique class of materials for the generation of nanostructured materials in different environments –mainly driven by the inherent immiscibility of unlike building blocks.[1]Together with the use of monomers featuring unreacted functional groups in the side chain, this allows for straightforward modifications reactions, addressing, or (reversible) crosslinking of nanostructured materials.[2] We are interested in strategies to exploit the unique properties of block copolymers for the design of polymer-polymer or polymer-metal interfaces. Examples include inter-polyelectrolyte complexation as driving force to create materials with precise control over charge and charge density as shown for multi-compartment micelles featuring a discontinuous (patchy) shell,[3] co-assembly strategies towards core-shell-corona with controllable shell composition,[4] hybrid particles with polyelectrolyte or block copolymer shells,[5] anisotropic hybrid materials,[6] or block copolymer membranes with stimuli-responsive water flux and pore.

These figures are from the Mongrel Soviet range (via newline design's Sean Pereira). They go perfectly with the Eureka stuff, and I am so happy with them I have ordered some more.

A message to all the fans, supporters and members of the Root Ball Anthropomorphism movement:
First of all, I'd like to say a heartfelt "thank you" to all of you who have been with us since the beginning (January 30th). Sarah, I think you were the very first to comment, and you've been keeping the good vibes coming. Robin, your enthusiasm, as always, helps keep me going in good directions. And, of course, 03, you are always an inspiration and now a practicing member of the movement!
To those of you who are new (Hi Ed!), and the many who may be watching from the sidelines, thanks so much for watching and please keep coming back for more. This movement is wide open and growing fast.
Today, in acknowledgement of the fact that our movement is about more than just root balls (though we do love 'em), and because we just love cool acronyms, we are announcing a name change. The movement is now called "M.I.R.A." MIRA stands for "Mirror Images Revealing Anthropomorphism." We hope you'll agree that this name not only captures the broader possibilities of the movement, but firmly anchors our origins in the southern United States, where we don't particularly care to pronounce the "R's" on the end of words anyway.
Also, today, or very, very soon, be looking for the movement to branch (ha, ha – get it?) into a whole new direction. Please stay tuned, and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Jeez now I'm going to have to find a real root, the ones I shot yesterday was more of debris. The huge one on the Little River was a bad photo that I fudged the hell out of. I guess that counts. Does "Anthropomorphism' have anything to do with the "X-FILES", that's what my wife is thinking.
This may too big of a leap but I'm thinking of trying an Accordion next.

The best part is – OF COURSE – the profile pic!! Keep M.I.R.A. coming! (is that related to asp pole? or S.N.A.K.E?)
February 6, 2012 at 11:54 am
I'm glad to be counted among the fans of the movement!
I'll keep the good vibes coming your way.

File: Barney Stinson
Barnabus "Barney" Stinson is a fictional character created by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas for the CBS television series How I Met Your Mother, portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris.
The character has been extremely well received by critics and has been credited for much of the show's success. He is considered the show's breakout character.
Harris was invited to audition for Barney by Megan Branman, the casting director for How I Met Your Mother. He assumed that he was invited solely because the two were friends and did not believe he had a chance of winning the role. Harris later said: "Since I myself the long shot, I didn't care that much, and I think that allowed a freedom." His audition centered on a scene playing laser tag, and Harris attempted a dive roll, accidentally knocking over a chair and slamming into a wall in the process. CBS executives enjoyed his performance, and Harris was quickly offered the part.
Barney Stinson is one of five main characters on How I Met Your Mother. He is in his early thirties and almost always wears a suit, likes women with daddy issues and is always willing to offer his (sometimes hypocritical) opinion. In contrast to his best friend, Ted Mosby, who wants to settle down, Stinson is a serial womanizer and has a plethora of strategies and rules designed to meet women, sleep with them, and discard them. Through several seasons of the show, four of the main characters were couples, as Ted began dating Robin Scherbatsky and Ted's roommate Marshall Eriksen became engaged and later married to Lily Aldrin. This left Stinson the only single character, and, according to Harris, Stinson was "resentful" that the other characters had paired up. Later on, in season 5, he dated Robin.
Harris describes Barney as a man who "likes to create crazy situations and then sit back and watch it all go down." He tends to be opportunistic and manipulative, and will attempt to manipulate a situation so that it goes his way. In the episode "Shelter Island", for example, Barney successfully convinces Robin (in whom he was exhibiting romantic interest) to come to Ted and Stella's wedding, even though it was not in the couple's best interests to do so. He is also highly competitive, and will take on "challenges" to complete (sometimes) outlandish tasks in order to prove his worth. He is proud and stubborn, and attempts to stand by his word no matter what. In "I Heart NJ", for example, he refuses to put down his fist unless someone offers him a fist bump. By the end of the episode, he has said fist elevated in a sling after struggling to keep his fist up throughout the episode. Although he thinks of himself as worldly, Barney is extremely naive at times, believing many lies his mother told him well into adulthood, such as believing that Bob Barker is his father.
Barney, just like Harris, is an illusionist. His favorite types of magic tricks include fire, which his friends seem to hate, as seen in the tenth episode of the second season, "Single Stamina" and in the fourth episode of the fourth season, "Intervention". Barney uses them mostly to pick up women. His most common method of picking up women is telling them elaborate lies about himself, often using an alias. Many of his schemes for picking up women are in a book he has written called "The Playbook", which is exposed in the episode "The Playbook". He has commitment issues, as evidenced in his reluctance to put a label on his relationship with Robin and the fact that she is one of the few women he has dated since the show started.
As far as talent goes, Barney has exhibited eloquence, wit and creativity numerous times throughout the series. He speaks several languages, using what is said to be Ukrainian (actually Russian) with his tailor, Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean at least twice in business deals with shady North Koreans. He apparently also has above-average video-editing skills; he created and edited his entire video resume all by himself. He seems to be a talented website designer, as shown in "The Playbook". As shown on more than one occasion, he is proficient at playing the piano, as are Ted and Marshall. He seems to have a thorough understanding of human behavior and uses this mainly to manipulate situations to his advantage (mostly to pick up women). Several episodes also showcase many of Barney's crazier abilities, such as his physical ability to complete the New York City marathon without a single day of training (although this seems to be through sheer willpower rather than physical strength, as his legs went numb while he took the subway moments later), being able to punch through walls, stay under water for up to 12 minutes and being knowledgeable enough to guess the exact price of prizes on The Price Is Right. He also juggles knives in "Doppelgangers", able to sense how long it has been since a woman has last had sex and has taken classes to be an expert Teppanyaki chef in the episode "Ducky Tie".Despite his eclectic and prodigious talents, Barney is lacking in several common skills, such as driving a car or using a screwdriver, although he seems to have learned the former, as he tries to prove that he can get out of a speeding ticket. In "Robin 101", Barney stated that he was diagnosed with ADHD as a child, probably explaining his habit of zoning out when people are talking to him.
Although The Early Show described him as "utterly devoid of morality", Barney lives by the "Bro Code", his own code of rules. Despite his overall questionable character, according to creator Craig Thomas, Barney is "a pretty fragile character who's really afraid of being alone. He just wants people to like him, to be important to people, and to have disciples who follow his word." He has displayed acts of kindness on multiple occasions, such as reuniting Lily and Marshall and preventing Marshall from sleeping with other women. Although coming across as a very strong character with a penchant for committing daring and wild feats, Barney has an extreme fear of spiders, as shown in the season 2 episode "First Time in New York". He also has a habit of eating ice cream when he's upset, although this is common among all the main cast.
It is revealed in the episode The Slutty Pumpkin Returns that he's one quarter Canadian.

One of the advantages of handing out a new phone to developers (and media) at Google I\O a couple weeks before the public availability is that you get a whole lot of hardcore testing. And such is the case of the HTC Evo 4G. A little issue that's cropped up is that the phone sometimes finds that it can't write to the storage card, which can cause crashes, hang-ups and occasional stiffness in joints.
I've only experienced this a few times, and a reboot clears it right up, but it's still a pain. The good news is that HTC has been aware of the problem and tells us the following:
"We have identified the cause of the memory card issue and are testing a solution. We expect to have a software solution available very shortly that will be automatically pushed to phones over the air."
How's that for service, boys and girls? So the sky's not falling, your storage card isn't out to get you, and we'll hopefully see this fix soon enough.

DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters Life!) - Carrying a golden dagger on her first African catwalk, supermodel Naomi Campbell emerged from behind a shimmering veil to make a pointed attack on the developed world's discrimination against black models.
"Where do we see a woman of color in an advert? It's quite blatant," she told Reuters in an interview backstage at her "Fashion for Relief" charity fashion show, which she held in Africa for the first time.
"There's definitely space (for more black models) but has there been enough effort? It was getting better but it's slipped back this year."
The British supermodel brought together flamboyant outfits laced with beads, peacock feathers and big necklaces from local designers, as well as aspiring models from across the continent who are competing to be the new "Face of Africa."
Many of the women were star-struck meeting Campbell, who helped advise backstage on hairstyles, makeup and posed for photos at the show held in the sultry Tanzanian coastal city of Dar es Salaam.
"Women of color who have had a great experience in life need to share their experiences with others. The world is not made up of blonde hair and blue eyes. We need to share ourselves," she said.
"It's like a dream come true to meet her," said Tholakele Dlamini, a 23-year-old "Face of Africa" contestant from Zimbabwe.
"I think there need to be more black models to balance it out a bit — there's a lot of quality out there with potential."
Modeling was an unexpected career move for Dlamini, whose parents were in the army and wanted her to become a soldier.
"I think most girls dream but they don't chase after their dream: I'm chasing," she said backstage.
For Campbell, who regularly visits neighboring Kenya but has never before walked a runway in Africa, the continent has great potential.
"Africa is a place of tragedy but I see beauty everywhere — there are all these beautiful African women of color," she said. "You see these long necks of elegant women just walking in the streets."
Previous "Fashion For Relief" shows put on by Campbell in New York, London and Mumbai have raised as much as $1 million for causes such as relief from floods, Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters.
Funds from the fashion event in Dar es Salaam, during which a dress Campbell wore from local designer Mustafa Hassanali was auctioned off to charity for $10,000, will go to support maternal health.
Campbell is global ambassador for the White Ribbon Alliance, an international coalition for maternal health, which is this year holding its annual general meeting in Tanzania, where a woman dies in childbirth every hour.
"No woman should die giving birth," said Campbell from the catwalk at the end of the show.
Pregnancy is the leading killer of women of reproductive age in the developing world — more than 80 percent of them preventable. A woman dies in childbirth or pregnancy every minute worldwide.
The organization, which lobbies for more health workers, wants an extra $10 billion a year for maternal mortality and an extra four million trained health workers before 2015, the deadline by which the Millennium Development Goal stipulates maternal mortality should be reduced by 75 percent.
Very little progress has been made on rates of maternal mortality in two decades.
Campbell will visit a local maternal clinic on Friday to meet mothers and healthcare workers.

Leo Man and Aquarius Woman
Leo man and Aquarius woman is a very interesting match. I had a good friend in this exact pairing and I have to say the relationship dynamic between the two always baffled me, because I couldn't see the passion in it, and I knew Leo man would require much of it. Oh, I knew they had passion in the bedroom because she often bragged about how wonderful he was, but the rest of the time was a bit dull. They lasted a few years, and that was much longer than I'd have bet on. Of course, other couples could last forever in this pairing, but have a read about why they might not. For more on the compatibility of Leo man and Aquarius woman, see below.
Leo Man
Leo man is large and in charge. Trouble is, it's hard to be in charge of someone who's head is usually in the clouds and is therefore barely aware that you're holding her hand. Not that she's necessarily ditzy; I've known lots of genius Aquarians. She's not deliberately ignoring him, she's just flaky like that. And she knows it! Of course, he won't mention how strange it is that she behaves so oddly from time to time, because that would indicate he doesn't know how to lead her -- but the truth is, he doesn't. And this could bother him quite a bit, especially because he needs to feel like he's the soul recipient of her attention and focus. In fact, the only time he's 100% sure of this is in the boudoir.
Aquarius Woman
When chatting with her friends the Aquarius woman's face will light up when she mentions her Leo man. She'll happily brag about how great a lover he is, and how passionate the bedroom scenes are. But her friends will smile at this, because they know how non-passionate she is in day to day life, and they realize her Leo man probably has no idea she thinks so highly of his skills because its unlikely she shows him when the lights are on. This may seem like a small thing but it could really put a dent in Leo's pride and ego. He needs to be reminded of his talents when the lights are on, and Aquarius woman isn't likely to do this, which could make him think of her as cold and aloof -- which she isn't, she's just spacey!
