Mourning for Megan
It is funny to me how attached we get to the personalities on television news. My grandmother used to love Walter Cronkite. He could do no wrong in her eyes. In college, I woke up every morning to Charley Gibson (pre-"Charles" back then) and Joan Lunden. My friends preferred the Today Show. The more you watch these guys the more they become a part of your life. And even though we have never met them they become part of our family. Am I alone in this?
I don't watch network news anymore. Over that past years the networks have gotten so political and culturally biased that I do not trust anything that they tell me. It may all have an air of truth but they certainly spin it in a liberal manner. I don't like it and I won't watch it. (That includes the afore mentioned Charles Gibson.) We are thankful for our local Fox station which has become a part of our morning routine. Having a local morning show is great here in Dallas as they do the traffic often which greatly helps planning the morning commute. And that is where Tim and Megan come in. As the hosts of the morning show, they have become a part of our family. But now Megan is leaving to return to LA to be closer to her family. I am crushed. How can I be so attached to her? She travels a lot and when she has been gone it has been very disappointing to me. But all was not lost because I knew she would come back. But, alas, she will not come back this time.
They have not announced, to my knowledge, who will replace her – as if that were possible. But I guess that humans are fickle and will adapt when necessary. The same is likely true with me. Only time will tell.
Friday Night Lights
I saw this in a Directv email this morning:
This fall, the lights shine on the Dillon Panthers only on DIRECTV.
On October 1, all-new episodes of Friday Night Lights premiere on The 101 Network — exclusively on DIRECTV. And they come to you uncut and commercial-free.
The New York Times calls Friday Night Lights "a wonder." Time andEntertainment Weekly have hailed it as one of the top-ten TV shows. The American Film Institute has named it Television Program of the Year. And the only place you'll experience this poignant drama series this fall is on DIRECTV.
If you haven't seen Friday Night Lights, this a a great show. I don't know if I feel this way because I am from a small town that loved its HS football or what. The acting isn't great but somehow that makes everyone in it seem more real. It was on NBC for a couple of seasons and now it looks like it will only be on Directv. What about those who like it that don't have Directv? Hmmm. This is odd. I am so glad I have Directv.
Don't look behind the curtain.
The olympics are well underway and have proven to be pretty exciting. I have loved seeing Michael Phelps and following along on his journey to become the most decorated olympic athlete in history. I have been on the edge of my seat while watching the men's and women's gymnastics. All in all, it has been pretty entertaining.
The opening ceremonies were just incredible. However, I found myself thinking about the people involved the whole time. I guess I don't really know what it is like to live under communism. What I know about it is largely anecdotal. But as I was marveling at the precision of the drummers and the sheer size of the production in general, I couldn't help to think about how long it took to get it as perfect as it was. It was really remarkable. How long did these people practice? I heard somewhere that they practiced hours and hours for days and days. Do they have jobs? Did companies sacrifice productivity for the sake of the state? How much do these people get paid? One of the segments said that the vast majority of Chinese people get by on $2/day. Did I hear that right? The ruling class is VERY wealthy. Everyone else just survives. If that is so, do these people realize that? Even the Chinese athletes are taken from their families at very young ages to train. They rarely see their families. Are all of these sacrifices made voluntarily? I guess everything is done for the good of the state. I don't get it.
So, even as I was impressed by the expansive scope and technology of the opening ceremonies I had a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. It might have been the lunch that I had eaten earlier but I suspect it was the realization that China, a country often vilified for it's disregard for civil rights, had spent billions of dollars so that people like me would sit in amazement at their spectacular job. We will probably never know how much this Olympics cost them or how much debt they are left with.
Later, I heard on the news that the sweet little girl in the red dress was not singing but lip-syncing. Also, the fireworks on television were not the same fireworks that were experienced live. They had been enhanced with computer-generated graphics for the television viewers. I understand, I suppose, China's desire to look good to the world. But this is a perfect example of what communist regimes try to do. Let's make it look perfect and maybe they won't notice what is behind the curtain. It makes me wonder how much of the ceremony really was computer controlled. That would explain the precision. Whatever you do, ignore that man behind the curtain.
Steelers of my heart.
Right up front I will say that I am not as much of a football fan as I once was. These days hockey has this guy's heart. But for the past ten or so years I have been rooting for the Steelers. I don't know when it actually happened or why? I grew up hating them. Back when Dallas was in it's glory days (and the Steelers were in theirs) my family hated them. So what changed? I ask myself that. As far as Dallas goes, I admit that I am a "fair weather" fan. If they do well, I will be "on board" but don't really care about them one way or another if they are bad. And face it, with the exception of about 3-4 years in the 90's, there really haven't been too many things to get excited about.
The Superbowl wasn't all that great as far as it goes. I like the razzle-dazzle plays by the Steelers which added a bit of excitement to an otherwise lack-luster game. It was great to see Cowher finally get a title and really something to hear the Bus hang it up. I will be interested to see if that actually happens or if he got caught up in the emotion of the ceremony. I think maybe it's time for him to park the Bus. What a way to go out!
Commercially speaking, it was really kind of dull. I like the fridge commercial and the young clydesdale (Rhonda figured that one out). There were just a few that made me laugh though. It is amazing that these companies spend so much for these 30 second spots. (And Budweiser had like 11 of them.) I don't know how wise the investment is on some of those. A lot of times I will remember the spot but have no recollection of the company that is being advertised. (The cat herders from a year or two ago) That, in my book, is not a good investment.
So when all was said and done I was satisfied. My team came out on top. Now… I can get back to hockey. The puck drops in about two hours. Go Stars!!!
Then there was silence…
I was watching Joan of Arcadia the other day. It really is a pretty good show. In the season finale last year, Joan experienced something new and scary. God became silent. As I watched, I wondered what that must feel like.
I don't know, in some ways, I feel like He is silent now. Don't get the wrong impression. I know He is near and that He hears me. I even feel His presence at times. I desire…I strive to feel his presence. But in my current jobless struggle I want to hear Him. I want to do what He wants me to do.
So what have I done? Well, I have applied for lots and lots of positions but with each passing day my confidence and self-esteem are taking blows like those quick, hard jabs to the body that aren't really noticeable but hurt deep inside.
I am so conflicted because my heart is to be with my kids. After traveling for so long (and missing many of Trey's growing years) I really felt God leading me to change directions in my life/career. That is why I didn't take the job they offered me when UA merged with Regal. Now, I question if that was the right decision. (On the other hand, I know that I am in a place now in my relationship with God and my family that I would not be if I had continued with UA.) So the past really doesn't matter, I guess. What's done is done and I can't change that. So now, I go forward into the darkness and just hope for the best.
Last night, I told a friend, "If I ain't got faith, I'd have nothing." That is so true. Is that what I am meant to learn? I know God is near but I just can't seem to hear Him. It seems that in this moment on this issue He is silent. Why?
Bright Lights and Bright Futures
I got my eyes checked this morning. The doctor said they were fine. I am a little bit near-sighted. He said that would come in handy because I wouldn't have to use reading glasses later on. I hate getting my eyes checked. They shine that bright light in my eyes… I know how Gizmo felt. "Bright Light!!!" "Bright Light"!!!" I guess I am good for another year or two.
School is out in three weeks. It is inconceivable to me that Trey will be finished with 7th grade. It seems like he just started. Wow… does time fly or what? Noah is graduating from preschool. That is interesting to me. It is not even real school and they are making a huge deal about it. As you can see, he looks all studious but don't let that fool you. A closer look will reveal that he is graduating with a paper towel spindle. It took all year to earn it but he did it and, by golly, we are so proud. I wonder what he will have to strive for in kindergarten. Seriously, it is hard to think that he will be in kindergarten. Everyone is growing up. This year marks the start of what we will call the "Nephew Graduation Journey". Actually, it kinda started two years ago with my nephew Josh, sort of, but now it gets rolling downhill and the next, oh, say 12 years we have eleven nephews (and one neice) graduating. Again, it just doesn't seem possible.
I am stressing over a TV show, well, really two TV shows. They are on TechTV, which was purchased by Comcast. I don't know if these shows are going to remain on or not. Don't worry, I don't actually lose sleep over this stuff but those shows have been a source of entertainment for me for about six years since TechTV launched in 1998. One is called Call For Help and the other is The Screen Savers. They are a guilty pleasure and satisfy my "geek" appetite so I don't have to wear that awful pocket protector.
Speaking of Tech… I ranted about CompUSA a few weeks ago (a well deserved rant, if I must say) but now let me sing the praises of a different company. The company is PowerbookResQ. They are a division of MacResQ. This company has it right. Their customer service is unparalleled. I have had a SuperDrive (cd and dvd writer) upgrade and a hard drive upgrade from them. In both instances, they shipped a box on the day that I ordered it, I packed it and sent it back to them, they upgraded the stuff and then shipped it back. They use what they call three way overnight shipping. I sent it on Wednesday and got it back on Friday. That is awesome. It puts these local guys to shame. And you know what? It is not anymore expensive either. Especially when you consider the cost of not having your machine for two or three weeks. I recommend this company for anyone who needs Mac repairs (computers, laptops, iPods.)
I changed the site a bit. I was getting bored with the other colors. Also, I was watching Call For Help one day and this "web log expert" was talking about do's and don'ts. He said the worst template anyone could ever use was "this one". On flashed the familiar red, green, blue, and gold template that I had been using. I felt so lame. I didn't know that was the "worst template you could ever use." So I bowed to the pressure (although it took me nine months… okay, there really wasn't that much pressure) and changed it. Let me know what you think!!
Listening to : The Best Thing from the album Oxygen by Avalon
I Thought I Had Seen It All
Oh wait, I did see it all. My first reaction was to ask Rhonda, "Did I just see what I thought I saw?" The next thing I did was a mistake. I hit the rewind button on my TIVO to confirm that, yes, I did just see what I thought I had seen. Was I shocked? Yes. Am I surprised? No. The NFL stated that MTV would not produce another half-time show. What did they expect was going to happen? MTV has never been known for family entertainment. I guess the question is if the Superbowl is family entertainment. The next question: Was it intentional? Of course it was. I don't think JT can seriously say that it was unintentional after the rest of the gyrations and thrusts throughout the rest of that performance. Anyway, the rest of the half-time show wasn't any better.
And then there are the commercials. I thought that, as a whole, they were kind of lame. Only a couple really made me laugh and I can't really remember what product they were pitching. So that was not that great. Although the game started slowly…very , very, slowly, it got better. But even at that there was only about 18 minutes of great football.
In my mind, it all comes back to the end of the half-time show. Which is why it happened in my estimation. It is interesting to me that my pastor preached a message earlier that day about how the culture we live in is trying to drag us all down. It (the culture) is after the minds and hearts of our children and young people. I believe that is true and this was a great illustration of that. The whole half-time show was aimed at a young demographic. I certainly wasn't that interested in any of the entertainment(?) and couldn't even understand what they were lip-syncing most of the time.

Clyde Bunny is a Looney Tunes character created by Friz Freleng and voiced by Mel Blanc and June Foray. He is Bugs Bunny's nephew.
Clyde made his first appearance in "His Hare Raising Tale". Clyde visits Bugs, who narrates about playing baseball ("Baseball Bugs"), going to the moon ("Haredevil Hare"), and being in the military. However, Clyde doesn't believe Bugs. His second appearance was in "Yankee Doodle Bugs", where he has difficulty trying to remember information for a test. Bugs narrates about history, but he places himself in all of the events. Of course, when Clyde returns from school after taking the test, he has failed (as evidenced by a dunce cap). Clyde also appeared for the third time in the 1979 Christmas-themed short Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales (voiced by June Foray). In recent years, he was voiced by Joe Alaskey, briefly by Jess Harnell and later by Bob Bergen (2018-present).

Winter usually comes to Novosibirsk toward the end of October, and this year is no exception.
The first snow fell on October 24.
These photos look a lot like those I posted of the last snow just six months ago.
Before this snow had a chance to disappear (it hasn't been warm enough for it to melt), more came.
A week later, the ground was fairly white.
And it just keeps coming. Happy winter!

text: I thought the markets were supposed to be smart? Fed Sees Action if Growth Doesn't Pick Up Soon The Wall Street JournalBy Jon Hilsenrath | The Wall Street Journal â 3 minutes 53 seconds ago Federal Reserve officials, impatient with the economy's sluggish growth and high unemployment, are moving closer to taking new steps to spur activity and hiring. Since their June policy meeting, officials have made clearâin interviews, speeches and testimony to Congressâthat they find the current state of the economy unacceptable. Many officials appear increasingly inclined to move unless they see evidence soon that activity is picking up on its own. Amid the recent wave of disappointing economic news, conversation inside the Fed has turned more intensely toward the questions of how and when to move. Central-bank officials could take new steps at their meeting next week, July 31 and Aug. 1, though they might wait until their September meeting to accumulate more information on the pace of growth and job gains before deciding whether to act. [More from WSJ.com: Apple v. Samsung: The Patent Trial of the Century] Fed officials could take some actions in combination or one after another. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, in testimony to Congress last week, listed several options under consideration, including a new program of buying mortgage-backed or Treasury securities, new commitments to keep short-term interest rates near zero beyond 2014 or an effort to push already-low benchmark short-term interest rates even lower.

Today, I want to share what I consider to be the best advice for new network marketers, however, the advice really applies to anyone in the industry. If you are new to the business, the best piece of advice I can share with you today is DON'T QUIT. This one thing alone will really help you become successful.
You see, 90% of the people in our great industry will do one of two things in the next 90 days. They will either quit their company and rejoin a new company. Or, they will quit the industry for good. The numbers might fluctuate a bit, but based off what I've found in the industry during the past 11 years, these numbers are about right.
This really makes me sad, but I've realized that it's just human nature to quit things. Few people follow through with what they start. And to be honest with you, I'm not sure WHY people give up on their dreams, and their business, so quickly.
More importantly, I'm not sure why anyone thinks they can build a successful business of ANY kind in less than 90 days. That's just not the way that life works! Good things take time. It takes time to develop the right skill-set and right mind-set. It takes time to build a business.
Heck, you've probably been working at a job for YEARS, yet you are struggling to get by. If you're like most people, you're probably overworked, underpaid and unfulfilled. But you didn't quit your job because you aren't rich.
So why would you expect to join MLM and have all your financial problems go away in just a few months?
Succeeding in MLM is not like winning the lottery. It's not a matter of luck. The only way you will succeed in any business (MLM included) is to have a good game plan, a strong work ethic, some discipline and some follow through.
Since it's a new year and many people are making a New Year's resolution today, this is the best resolution I can recommend.
"Find a good company with products you are passionate about and make a COMMITMENT to get started and never quit that company. Make it a resolution to stick with the industry for the long haul (at least ten years). Only then do you even have a fighting chance for success."
You see, successful business owners don't just "try things out." You think someone would open a franchise or a traditional business with the idea of just "trying it out for 90 days and seeing what happens?" I don't think so.
Study any successful person in our industry and you will notice a few things. First and foremost, their success did not come quickly. It took them time to develop their skills and mind-set.
Next, they were COMMITTED to their business and knew they would have ups and downs, struggles and successes. They knew that if they did "money producing activities" day in and day out for a period of MONTHS and YEARS, good things would happen.
That's the key to success in business and MLM!
So unless you want to be a statistic in this industry, make a decision that you will NEVER quit your company or the industry. Make it a point to sell out to MLM and to your MLM Company. Do that and good things will happen.
What are your thoughts? What is your best advice for new network marketers? Leave a comment below and let us know.

Reviewby Carl Kimlinger,
Rurouni Kenshin: Reflection
Blu-ray Limited Edition
Years have passed since Kenshin Himura laid down his sword and married his long-time sweetheart Kaoru. Most of those who knew them best have since passed from their lives. Kenshin has spent the intervening years tending to the poor and sick with skills other than the sword. It has taken its toll. Their son Kenji has been alienated, studying swordsmanship under Kenshin's old master, and disease is ravaging both their bodies. As Kaoru waits for Kenshin to return one last time, she remembers their life together, trusting that they will be reunited before the last curtain falls on her husband's quest for redemption.
Reflection is Kazuhiro Furuhashi's elegy to Rurouni Kenshin. It's a sad farewell to a long-running franchise, as well as a very final conclusion. It's also quite unfaithful at times, particularly to the tone of the original, and even more damningly, to its characters.
In many ways, Reflection attempts to do for Kenshin's ending what Trust & Betrayal did for its Remembrance arc. Like Trust & Betrayal it moves the focus away from action and onto the characters' emotions. Like Trust & Betrayal it completely excises the original's sense of humor. Like Trust & Betrayal it pares away the more excessive trappings, tones down the martial arts, and generally opts for something a lot closer to reality. Like Trust & Betrayal it is entirely more serious, sober, and sad. Unlike Trust & Betrayal, though, Reflection does not and cannot stand alone. It does not tell a story so much as sum up and conclude an already running one. And that means that the new tone feels a lot less natural. After all, the story it is concluding does have a sense of humor, is action-oriented, and has all of those excessive trappings, outlandish fights, and detours from reality.
Because it's a summation, Reflection also lacks the drive and focus of Trust & Betrayal. It tells Kenshin's post-Bakumatsu story through the fragmented memories of Kaoru and, to a lesser extent, Sanosuke and Yahiko. It's a collection of vignettes: dissociated flashbacks that will mean very little to anyone who hasn't seen Kenshin's television incarnation or read Nobuhiro Watsuki's original manga. The OVA is divided into two parts, each 45 minutes in length. The first of them is entirely consumed by the collage of memories, and thus neither forward-moving nor accessible to outsiders. The second is something of a different matter. It focuses extensively on the manga's never-before-animated Jinchu arc, during which Kenshin earns his forgiveness for the events of Trust & Betrayal, before heading into a wholly original (as in, not based on the manga) epilogue to his story. It finds in the two the cohesion and forward momentum that the first episode lacked, eventually sailing gracefully to the series', and the franchise's, heartbreaking conclusion.
For fans, such drawbacks won't matter. After all, fans will know every character and event alluded to in those opening shards of memory; they can appreciate their import and share fully in the melancholy of Kaoru, Yahiko and Sanosuke's retrospection. Seeing, even if only in passing, their futures and the futures of Kenshin, Tsubame, Megumi and others will be wonderfully fulfilling, and the final episode's final moments will hit like a ton of sweetly sad bricks. Who cares if it isn't cohesive or driven? Elegies aren't supposed to be. Who cares if it isn't self-contained? Elegies aren't meant for strangers; they're meant for friends. For fans.
What will matter to fans are the changes Reflection makes. Unlike Trust & Betrayal, Reflection isn't an unmitigated improvement upon the original. Its simplification of the Jinchu arc results in some odd inconsistencies, including Enishi's frankly dumb motivation for keeping Kaoru alive and a denouement that hinges on Kenshin acting in direct contradiction to his just-stated philosophy.
The real damage, though, is done to Kaoru. The series hasn't always been kind to Kaoru—she tends to get kidnapped a lot—but in general she has been a powerful, strong-willed woman. This is the girl who assaulted Kenshin the first time they met, who trained Yahiko in the sword and fought the Ten Swords when Kenshin was away. Some of that spunk comes across in the flashbacks, but by the epilogue she has been reduced to another of those nobly self-sacrificing samurai women whose only real skill is waiting patiently for her man to come home. Bah. The Kaoru of the series proper wouldn't wait. She'd go out and fight with him. Or drag him back.
Visually, there's only one word for Reflection: beautiful. Akira Matsushima's designs are simple yet sensitive, attractive and yet capable of a great range of emotions when coupled with Furuhashi's meticulous animation. Studio Deen's backgrounds are wonderful, filled with period detail and vast natural beauty. The obvious size of the series' budget allows characters, objects and settings alike a full range of motion, which the series often uses in quiet, subtle ways: the motion of water in a high-seas storm, for instance, or hair in the wind or the paths of cherry petals as they fall from the trees. Action scenes are rarer and even briefer than they were in Trust & Betrayal, but show the same instinctive eye for human motion and the dance of blade and fist. They are beautiful, economical little gems: fluid, carefully choreographed, and exhilarating. You can almost taste the joy of the animators as they indulge their craft to its fullest. In terms of pure technical prowess, Reflection is superior even to Trust & Betrayal.
What it lacks is its predecessor's cinematic complexity. The interplay of story and execution isn't nearly as complex or purposeful as it was in the earlier OVA, a reflection itself of Reflection's less cohesive nature. There is real purpose in the series' preference for bright daylight and lively, westernized environs—the vitality and openness of the new Meiji era comes across effortlessly, and in stark contrast to the bleak, confined world of the Bakumatsu—but that's about as far as it goes. Despite its complicated flashback structure, Reflection is an essentially straightforward enterprise: a long, stylized clip show that eventually segues into a conclusion. There's no need for symbols in that. Or foreshadowing, cinematic signals, or allegorical forests for that matter.
If you're familiar with Aniplex of America's Trust & Betrayal Blu-ray, then you're basically familiar with this one. The packaging is the same, and it has a similar booklet—once again in Japanese with a separate booklet for the English translation. As before, the booklet is built around character bios, plot synopses, and a good-sized interview. The interview, with producer Keiichi Matsuda and Blu-ray authorer Mitsuaki Usuki, is about the new video transfer—which by the way is fantastic. Also included is ADV's dub, which once more does its job and not much of anything else. As with Trust & Betrayal before it, it comes across rather flat, particularly where the female cast is concerned. A real waste considering the effort put into the script's old-fashioned dialogue. There're also some embarrassing flubs with the names and terminology, including one where Tsubame refers to Kaoru as Yahiko. Oopsie.
At seventy bucks, Reflection is cheaper than Trust & Betrayal, but its appeal is very much limited to Rurouni Kenshin fans. If you happen to be one of them, though, you'll be hard pressed to find a better capstone for your collection. The series has never looked better, and even with its flaws, the franchise couldn't ask for a finer swan song. Speaking of swan songs, the show has never sounded better either. Taku Iwasaki's lovely, lush score is as crisp as the day it sprang from the orchestra.

Many years people try to find the right method to win constantly
in games of chance, beat the online
casino. In search of secret, which helps to earn huge money
easily, people accomplished discoveries, they wrote a great number
of books and articles – both good and bad. It seems strange,
but gambling business is still prospering. Why? Let's answer
this question.
Gambling business – casino, online casino,
lotteries, bookmaker offices, trotting matches - exist because of:
1. In the rules of any game of chance there is
partial victory and that's why online casino, bookmaker office,
lotteries organizer or owner of race-course can't lose;
2. People are rather reckless by themselves and
having tasted victory and easy money once, the one keeps on playing
more and more and after all it can lead to the loss.
3. People do not discern games, in which one can
play and win and those ones in which one can win only by chance.
4. There are people who crave for portion of
adrenalin and find it, playing games of chance.
Not a game gives You equal chances to victory
and loss. Chances to lose are always more.
For example:
Playing roulette in online casino this superiority
is: in American roulette – 5,26%, in European roulette –
Playing BlackJack in casino - 1-5 % and it can
modify depending on rules and player's skills.
There are games, in which the advantage of online
casino (lotteries organizer, bookmaker…) is always the same.
And there are games in which this advantage can change, even transfer
into player's profit.
Games, in which the prize does not depend on the
merest chance, are really worthy of attention.
Having enough skills, one can win in BlackJack,
Poker, and make stakes for sport events or trotting matches.
Do not try to win in roulette or in lottery. Using
even the most ingenious systems brings You nothing except disappointment.
We open the secrets of many games of chance to
You, take to the wings of gambling business, and give You the key,
which opens doors to victories and real winnings in online casino.

Portland Mayoral candidate Jefferson Smith (who is also participating in this year's EcoChallenge) will be in attendance along with over 150 local NWEI supporters and EcoChallengers. Enjoy great community, inspiration for your EcoChallenge, free dessert, raffle prizes, music and more.

Oregon Sea Grant has published a new book called Pathways to Resilience: Sustaining Salmon Ecosystems in a Changing World. It was written by salmon experts from around the Northwest and explores the radical approach of strengthening salmon resilience. It discusses salmon life histories and the social and economic impact salmon have on the people who depend on them for their livelihood. This book will be of interest to those who are active in fisheries as well as policymakers and anyone interested in the resilience of other ecological and social systems.
Jim Lichatowich, author of Salmon Without Rivers: A History of the Pacific Salmon Crisis, says, "The ideas in Pathways to Resilience are important guides in moving towards a different and sustainable relationship between salmon and humans…" Copies may be ordered online at http://seagrant.oregonstate.edu/sgpubs/pathways-resilience
We are in our final stretch before EcoChallenge 2012 starts next Monday, October 1st! We have hundreds of participants signed up plus over 100 teams representing a diverse group of organizations including non-profits, colleges and universities, businesses and faith communities. Today we learned that Risa, a mother and writer from Gilbert, Arizona, has joined the EcoChallenge and created a team representing mothers from around the US and followers of her blog, Modern Methods and Timeless Tidbits, also known as The Mommy Dialogues.
Read below for an excerpt from Risa's blog inviting others to join the Challenge. Thanks Risa!
This year, we have decided to participate in NWEI's annual EcoChallenge. The idea behind EcoChallenge is that, for two weeks, all you have to do is to change one habit for Earth. You choose your challenge (water, energy, food, transportation, or trash), and stay connected with other EcoChallengers to help support each other. I thought this would be such an awesome thing to get involved in for a few reasons.
A. I love the Earth! I try on a daily basis to be better with all things sustainable. After researching and watching some of the amazing videos of other Challengers, I just felt like this is a way to get better, to push myself to make a habit out of being conscious of the decisions I am making.
B. I love friends! Making subtle life changes for the betterment of all mankind will be so much more fun as a team. This is a chance for us all to work together towards one goal. The way we each reach that goal is just as individual as each one of us.
C. I believe in this cause. I believe whole-heartedly that if each person can make one simple change (i.e., turning the water off when you brush your teeth) everyone will benefit. Things are changing drastically on our planet and, as a mother, its important to consider our impact if we want to ensure a future for our children. NWEI doesn't ask you to shell out any money (BUT if you would like to donate to this very worthy cause, click HERE), just your energy. Your partnership. Your belief that you can make a difference…

Portlanders: Join Oregon Environmental Council for an evening dinner and discussion event at 5:30pm Thursday September 27th, 2012 exploring climate change, the role of women and population.
"Women at the Center: Climate Change, Consumption and Reproductive Health" explores the role of consumption and population for combating climate change, and how empowering women is key to sustainable development. The September 27 evening event and dinner will feature OEC's Andrea Durbin, Erik Assadourian from Worldwatch Institute, and Suzanne Ehlers from Population Action International, as well as a clip from PAI's short film, Weathering Change.
If America's consumer habits contribute to climate change, how can we change our approach to consumerism as a climate solution? What is the role women play as climate solvers? If women and girls bear the greatest burdens from floods, food scarcity and other climate extremes globally, can they also be empowered to strengthen their families and communities to cope with impacts of a changing climate?
What: Dinner and conversation, featuring OEC's Andrea Durbin, Erik Assadourian from Worldwatch Institute, and Suzanne Ehlers from Population Action International
When: September 27, 5:30 – 8:30 PM
Where: Portland Art Museum, 1219 Southwest Park Ave, Portland, OR 97205
Cost: $20 each ticket. $15 for OEC members
Registration: http://www.oeconline.org/women-at-the-center
Sustainable Jersey, a certification program for municipalities in New Jersey, will be participating in NWEI's Annual EcoChallenge by offering the EcoChallenge as a way for municipalities to meet "Green Challenge Program" goals. Sustainable Jersey supports community efforts to reduce waste, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and improve environmental equity. Currently, 376 towns are registered and working towards certification. Nearly 75% of New Jersey's population lives in registered/certified Sustainable Jersey communities.
This year, NWEI's EcoChallenge will be offered to Sustainable Jersey's network of municipalities and communities as a way to earn points towards certification via their Green Challenge Program, which engages the community by challenging individuals, families, and businesses to change their behavior in support of the community's goals for sustainable development. The Green Challenge Program asks people to pledge to "take a challenge," and to make a specific change in their lives or in the way they do business.
Green Challenge Programs encourage healthy competition among community members while building a sense of shared purpose. As individuals try to achieve their own goals, they play a key role in reaching community-wide goals.
We are excited to see what New Jersey towns and communities accomplish this October via our collaboration!
Washington State University (WSU) Jefferson County Extension has developed two water discussion courses inspired by the NWEI discussion courses. The first is tailored to those living in the Pacific Northwest (Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington) and the second course is focused on the Puget Sound. The courses are offered without charge and are found online here.
These self-directed water courses were designed to:
• Provide basic knowledge about our water and watersheds in the Pacific Northwest and in Puget Sound
• Raise awareness about water issues confronting watersheds and the communities within them
• Provide a structure to learn more about our specific watersheds and actions an individual can take.
Several NWEI partners have been inspired to create their own regionally focused water courses, following the template developed by WSU. Most recently, South Durham Green Neighbors in North Carolina has customized the "Our Watershed" course from the Washington State/Puget Sound team, creating a resource applicable to the Durham area.
Thanks to our colleagues at WSU for making these resources available!
With just over three weeks until the start of the EcoChallenge, we are excited to have over 140 people registered so far. We're off to a great early start and look forward to having many more people join the 50+ teams who are signed up already!
We welcome you to participate as an individual or to create a team and take on the EcoChallenge with your coworkers, friends, family members, congregation or fellow students. You're welcome to join the NWEI Community Team, too.
For inspiration, watch this video of EcoChallenger Bradford McKeown who is choosing to travel only by bike, bus or foot for the duration of his Challenge. If you haven't already, sign up here to change one habit for Earth! The EcoChallenge runs from October 1-15th, 2012.

- The Water-Aliens are able to manipulate water and can even create 100ft tidal waves and then freeze them in place. Compared to something that complex, imagine how simple it would be for them to manipulate the water in a human body if they wanted to.
They repaired the damage done to Jammer's brain by the oxygen imbalance.They keep Lindsey alive long enough for her to be revived aboard the Deep Core.They give Catfish the Heroic Second Wind he needs to get to the Moon Pool and help Bud.They keep Bud alive and functional on his descent, and guide his intuition to help him cut the right wire.And, as stated above, they bring the crew to the surface and prevent them from suffering The Bends on the way up.
- Like they did to the crew to subvert The Bends?

The Maryland ACLU and a coalition of allies came together Tuesday to urge defeat of Gov. Larry Hogan's proposals to deal with crime in Maryland, calling them a throwback to failed policies of past decades.
Opponents of the governor's crime package vowed to fight Hogan's proposed bills to promote mandatory minimum sentences for repeat handgun offenses, to limit access to parole and to try more juveniles as adults.
The Republican governor proposed the measures to the General Assembly in part as a response to Baltimore's spiking homicide rate.
Toni Holness, public policy director for the Maryland ACLU, said her group is mobilizing to fight the bills because they ...

It's been a crazy year so far: a very busy day job, beginning work on my new ghostwriting commission... and then there was a very lovely wedding and honeymoon, too.
But now, I'm back at my desk – both during the day and in the evening – and I am delighted to say that I've been shortlisted for a national creative writing mentoring programme, through Ideastap and the Norwich Writers' Centre.
Of the 270 writers who applied, 77 have been shortlisted and invited to a writing 'masterclass'. I'm going along to the Manchester installment this Saturday with Emma Jane Unsworth and I can't wait - although I'm a little terrified, too, if I'm honest. The masterclass will include writing 'exercises' and I've never been one for witty, off-the-cuff, instant genius. My writing brain is a slow cooker, where characters, scenes and themes are scooped off the scum over long periods of a rolling boil... Still, even if I make a complete fool of myself at the masterclass, I'll have spent the day in the company of other writers and getting my brain ticking, and that's always a good thing.
Then, from those 77, 10 writers will be awarded a six-month programme of mentoring with established novelists. This will be announced in August, and I am keeping everything crossed. It would be an amazing opportunity... confidence-building, motivational, network-expanding, a real 'take-myself-serious' moment. But I'm also not getting over-excited. There's a long list of names there, many of which are (apparently!) full-time creative writing students who may be looked upon more favourably than those who have to juggle full-time jobs. We shall see.

The launch of DivX at the end of the 90's meant the same revolution for the world of Internet as the one caused by MP3 a few years before, because the possibility of compressing a film to about 600 MB without an incredible loss of quality had become a reality. From that moment onwards, the possibility of sharing our video collection became nearly as easy as it had been to share our music collection.
Play videos using the DivX codec
DivX Player is the application developed by the same team that developed this codec, especially designed to playback files compressed using DivX, even though it's also capable of playing many other formats. One of the best features of this player is that it's compatible with all versions of DivX that have appeared up until now, as well as being able to play high definition H.264 (.mvk) format files with AAC audio without hardly losing any quality.
DivX has also adapted to modern times, so if you want to enjoy the best DivX format videos, you'll have to download this player.

What I want to be when I grow up: another 9W tale
OK…so it's been a long slow Spring. Haven't had that much time to train until the last month or so but I've been putting in as many miles as possible so as not to let the squad down when I finally jump back in the races.
Following the torture-yourself-into-shape-quickly mantra, I've felt the legs kick in lovely over the past week or so. Decided to test em' out on a nice little hilly run up to Rockland (from Fort Lee). Met up with Lorenzo by Strictly Cycles, picked our destination (temporarily Nyack) and headed up.
A little backtrack here.
I think the only time I've ever really ridden with Big Zo (btw – we gotta get your cycling nickname picked out – get at me) was waaaaay back in May and with the exception of one hill climb in Prospect Park, I was hanging on for dear life. Many miles later, I have some semblance of fitness and I gotta say was looking forward to letting him know that I'm not an all year slouch. He later let me know that I look like I've lost weight since waaaaay back in May (five or six winter pie pounds lighter to be precise).
Anyway, we put the hammer down immediately and were stomping out at 21 – 24 into a headwind. Beautiful! Legs feeling good and strong, we powered all the way up to Nyack only slowing long enough for me to show Lorenzo the crazy stone mariachis just North of Piermont. With the jets off and a Runcible Spoon bagel in the belly I managed to talk my esteemed colleague into rolling up and over into Rockland Park.
Cool! Painful but cool!
As it always does, Rockland hurt (a lot) on the way back and that 'little' hill coming out from under the 9W underpass was its usual torturous self.
Now here's the interesting part.
As I'm crawling back up to 9W proper with a cool little cadence going, I pass this older gentleman, give him that patented NY nod (wassup) and ask him how he's feeling. Quite honestly, he looked like he was struggling a little as I passed by him and we joked briefly about not-so-funny Stateline coming up around the bend.
A couple minutes later I hear someone ask my name. I turn around expecting to see an obviously delirious with pain Lorenzo (who apparently has forgotten my name) and it's this guy. Riding right off my wheel…looking really, really comfortable. So I'm thinking to myself, good little climb dude, let's get it on. Sorry fellas, it's the Puma/Lizard in me (and really happy to be back).
What followed is nothing short of amazing. I did get to the top of Stateline first, we regrouped (yes all three of us) and Lorenzo began hammering. I later found out that the Puma in him came out too and he wanted to test this guy as well. Over the next ten or eleven miles we all fell into a rapid paceline taking turns jousting each other at 24 to 27. At one point George (the term 'this guy' no longer applies – he's now George and pretty freakin' strong) had to reign Lorenzo in to let me regroup as I had gotten caught off the back (on a hill no less – damn).
During these ten or eleven miles I found out that George is/was an electrical engineer, used to live across from Brooklyn (by the Williamsburg Bridge) rides fifty mile loops (several times a week) and used to race "probably before (I) even learned to ride (my) first bike". Obviously, this last statement prompted the question of age.
(I almost made him show us ID but held back – we were doing 25)
Once we reached his turn I had to pull up at the corner, shake his hand, call him a monster and bow my head a little (Brooklyn respect…). Afterwards, Lorenzo and I sat rehashing the ride in front of Strictly. This was one of those cool, humbling, bring a smile to your face moments as Zo and I looked at each other laughing about how we hope to be that strong when we're seventy.
Hell with that, sixty.
At any rate, George, I just wanted to say (in writing) you are a beast kid (and I mean that in all senses of the word). Was a pleasure meeting you and as far as I'm concerned you've earned yourself an honorary membership into the Brooklyn Arches family.
Peace fam – Number 4, the Lizard.

All of the transitions and changes that the years of our lives bring can create distance between ourselves and our partners. Sometimes there has been a crisis, such as an affair or the loss of a family member. Other times the couple is simply finding that they aren't able to connect or understand each other in the ways they used to.
Relationship counseling is the process of creating dialogue and understanding around issues that couples haven't been able to be able to make much headway with on their own. Understanding more thoroughly their own emotions as well as those of their partner is an important part of the process for the couple.
When working with couples, one of the goals is to help them find more effective ways to communicate and connect. Quite often being able to do this even a little bit better helps couples to manage their conflict in ways that are less stressful than before.
In cases where there has been a crisis, it takes time for the couple to heal, rebuild, and restore their trust. The guidance of a counselor, who can support both of the individuals, can aid this process in moving a long a bit more smoothly and assure that the couple stay on track.
After carefully assessing both the strengths and areas of potential growth of the couple, Christine uses elements from a number of different theoretical approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral, Biofeedback, and Gottman Methods.

Vallejo Paint
Supplying Vallejo Paint to the UK. There are two main types of Vallejo Paint for the wargaming and modeling communities. Model Colour and Game Colour. Paint Brushes can be found here
Vallejo Paint Model Colour
Vallejo Model Colour is ideal for use in historical wargames like Flames Of War, painting WWII model kits. Also Model Color is ideal as adding realistic detail to Scifi and Fantasy models
Model Colour is and acrylic paint suitable for use on all surfaces especially Plastics and Polyesters. The colours brush on smoothly, and cover large surfaces easily and without showing brushstrokes. Model Colour is great for minuscule details of miniature artwork. All the shades dry to a mat and opaque finish except for the metallic and transparent colours.
Opaque Model Paints by Colour Black | Blue | British | Brown | Camo | Flesh | French | German | Green | Grey | Kakhi | Orange | Purple | Red | Skintone | Uniform | White | Yellow
Fluorescent Paints | Glazes | Mediums / Varnish | Metallic | Opaques | Transparent | Paint Sets
The transparent colours render a brilliant finish, tint the surface but do not hide woodgrains or other characteristics. On models, they are applied directly for headlights and signal lights. Diluted with Mat Medium, these colours are ideal for tinting airplane or car windows(smoked glass). The application of a coat of transparent colour over the same mat colour gives an extra brilliant special effect.
Model Colour can be diluted with water, and all colours can be mixed with one another. The products does not contain solvents and is not inflammable. Colours do not contain lead pigments, nor ingredients harmful to health. Error can be corrected immediately with water, or with a small amount of alcohol. Once paint has dried, it is waterproof and permanent.
Model Colour is presented in a 17ml. bottle with eyedropper. This packaging prevents the paint from evaporating and drying in the container. It can be used in minimal quantities and preserved for a long time.
Vallejo Paints Game Colour
128 Paint colours for fantasy figures and wargames.
If you are interested in Game Colour or Vallejo Game Colour paint sets please get in contact.
As with all paints these may separate during storage, shaking and mixing the paint is advised before use.

Policy on deletion of CC accounts after completion of tenure
Ø Student Accounts: These accounts will be deactivated after six weeks of issuing the `no dues' and CC can delete these accounts anytime after this period. Only for those students who are graduating in summer and applying for `no dues' in early May (or late April), their accounts will be kept alive till two weeks after the convocation and CC can delete these accounts anytime after this period.
Ø Project Employee Accounts: These accounts will be deactivated after four weeks of issuing the `no dues or earlier if so instructed by PI and CC can delete these accounts anytime after this period.
Ø While CC can delete the accounts anytime after deactivation, for reasons of smooth operations, it was agreed upon that all the accounts that have been deactivated be deleted one month after the next semester has begun. So, one month into a semester, all accounts that have been deactivated so far would be deleted. This delayed deletion is kept so that no new student gets an old id.
Ø If there is any misuse of an account after `no dues', that account would be immediately deactivated. Misuse of CC accounts is generally covered by the penalty clauses announced in CC website.
Ø Even if any students/project employees do not take nodues from CC after completion of their programs, CC will mark such accounts for deactivation based on the letters received from DOAA/ DORD saying that such people have completed all their course/ project formalities and their programs/project appointments are over.
See the minutes of CCCC meetings of 12-10-2011 and 16-11-2011 for further details.

Management Structure of AfricanBioServices
AfricanBioServices is an African-European scientific network working on the EU-funded project "Linking Biodiversity, Ecosystem Functions and Services in the Serengeti-Mara Region, East Africa: Drivers of Change, Causalities and Sustainable Management Strategies". View all partners here.
AfricanBioServices is coordinated by Professor Eivin Røskaft at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway. Contact the coordinator here.
AfricanBioServices is organised into seven interlinked work packages (WPs). In WP1 we will assemble and integrate the relevant Kenyan and Tanzanian data for the region. In WP2, we will quantify the connections between human population growth, land use change and biodiversity changes. In WP3, we will analyse the consequences of climate change for key aspects of biodiversity in the region. In WP4, we will empirically test the links between biodiversity and the core ecosystem services on which people in the region depend. In WP5, we will quantify the dependence of human livelihoods on these ecosystem services. In WP6, we will initiate innovative ways for communicating and disseminating the results of the project through a forward-thinking strategy of 'continuous engagement' with local stakeholders that has a proven track record of success. WP7 encompasses the project management and aims at achieving the objectives and milestones in a timely manner and to the highest possible standards.

Texans Fights Back Against Attacks On Women's Health Care
Texas voters have grown tired of Governor Rick Perry's relentless attack on poor women, most recently displayed in a decision to jeopardize the successful Women' Health Program.
A recent survey by Public Policy Polling finds only 38% support the decision. Not surprisingly women overwhelmingly oppose the decision by a 57/37 margin. Men do as well, though rejecting it on a 52/40 margin showing that voters understand that attacks on family planning and health care impact everyone in Texas, not just women.
The polling also shows that Texans understand the political nature of the attacks on Planned Parenthood and by in large are rejecting them. 59% of participants oppose Gov. Perry's efforts to prevent women from using Planned Parenthood as their health care provider. Importantly, those identifying as independent voters also oppose the move by a 51/45 margin.
To help spread the message of voter discontent with these anti-woman, anti-family policies Planned Parenthood helped launch a statewide road trip to fight against the decision to end a successful public health program. The Women's Health Express will be traveling across Texas until March 13, stopping to rally and call for Gov. Perry and Executive Commissioner Suehs to save the program, which they have set to expire on March 14.
For more information on the Women's Health Express or how to get involved, check here.
It doesn't matter if you're a Texan or not. These are attacks against American women and they cannot be tolerated unless we are willing to accept a country where vast portions exist as health care wastelands decimated by a theological debate. And I can't imagine anything less American than that.

Feeling so sad can't update this blog since the last post on 2012, doesn't mean I didn't check this blog. Yes, I frequently open this blog to check out who are leaving comments or who are now following me. Thanks! I've planned to publish a New Year Post but I didn't. Too lazy and too busy to sitting in front of the computer for more than an hour, it hurts my eyessss. I was having a lot of hard day, homeworks, tasks, and everything, I just can't get rid of it. I have a lot of things to tell you, but seems I can't, I lost the note. I forgot. Heheee~~~ You may didn't notice, but I have changed this blog a bit. No, not the template (will be change it soon.), not either the font or everything like that. I'm just make a decisions last week... a big decision for my entire life and the day after tomorrow, the afterlife, or whatever. I don't have to say it, just if you're notice. I wish it's a right decision.
By the way, I'm getting so addicted to Otome Games lately. Omg it drives me crazy. A lot. Right, Otome Games(乙女ゲーム otome gēmu) is a video game that is toward to a female market, where one of the main goals, besides the plot goal, is to develop a romantic relationship between the female player character and one of several male, or occasionally female characters. It's a visual novels, which is you as the main player determine the direction of the story by choosing the option. Actually, the only thing makes me fully addicted to Otome Games beside the plot is...the admirable guys!! x)) Manga guys are cute.
The very first game I played is from Voltage, Inc, "In Your Arms Tonight" (You can download it in Play Store). Sadly, I could just play the Prologue, which is free, and I instantly addicted! It costs about $4 each character (they provides up to 6 characters). In the main story, we can choose who we can get along with, even all (but yet we still have to pay). Same as the main story, we still have to pay if we want to play the Epilogue. So, I'm going to tell you each of series I have played. *cough*

Bartók Béla (Béla Viktor János Bartók, March 25, 1881 – September 26, 1945) was a Hungarian composer and pianist. He is considered to be one of the greatest composers of the 20th century and is regarded, along with Liszt, as Hungary's greatest composer. He was born in the small Banatian town of Nagyszentmiklós in Austria-Hungary (now Sânnicolau Mare, Romania). Through his collection and analytical study of folk music, he was one of the founders of ethnomusicology. He is linked to the Romanian culture through his studies on Romanian folk music, collected first in the Carpathian Basin (the then Kingdom of Hungary), then in Moldavia and Wallachia. His melodic and harmonic sense was profoundly influenced by the folk music of Hungary, Romania, and many other nations.

You may be thinking to yourself, "I can tell by her blogs that she's doing a lot of eating…and not a lot of training." Well, pat yourself on the back; you're right 🙂
I came back from Orlando at the beginning of the month with a sore throat. I knew I was getting sick but was cheerfully optimistic about recovery time. I trained through it like a zombie through a shopping mall. Put my head down, charged forth and kept on keeping on. You'd be correct to guess that this didn't help me get over the plague. At. All. It continued to worsen to the point where I couldn't work out and it would have been rude to do so (what with the coughing, hacking and mucus-ing everywhere). So I took a week off, and then a week easy. Now, I'm back into things.
Friday was a fast 7-mile run with Joe. Let me tell you a little something about Joe. When I agreed to train with him, I told him I was a slow runner. He said that wouldn't be a problem because the distances we were doing required a slower pace. Perfect. Easy. Thanks, Joe. But now I have to rescind that thanks because none of the runs we have done have been slow. Or easy. I like to be pushed, but hope that here soon we are finally going to run those 10-minute miles I was promised. Joe? Did you hear that?
Friday: 7 miles on trail at an 8:32 pace. That's fast for me even at 3 miles.
Saturday: (keep in mind this is after a fast run Fri night, then Kettlebell class an hour later) About 11.5 miles on trail at a 9:08 pace. Woo and hoo! What a great run. Though I did have to admit to Joe that there was one point I threw up in my mouth a little. He said he was close to the same. I think this friendship just may work.
Oh, did you think you were going to get away without a Paleo update? Un-pat your back; you were wrong.
The lightheadedness is gone and my skin is looking better. Not that I had yucky skin to begin with, but I'll confess a semi-embarrassing secret to you: one of the major reasons I wanted to try Paleo was that I was waking up in the morning and looking old. Wait, wait, I know I'm not 18 anymore and I'm not trying to hold onto youth forever, but I'll face the facts, it was enough to make me frown which wasn't making me look any better.
Out of bed, I had puffiness, I saw dark circles for the first time and my skin was blotchy and ugh. After a couple of hours, the blood meandered back to my face or some other such science wizardry and I would look like myself again. I don't know how I connected that to eating…salt and bloating or not enough nutrients or irritated skin, but I had an inkling that Paleo may just keep the puffiness at bay, which it did! It's a miracle! These days I look the same out of bed as I do the rest of the day, my skin is getting glow-ier, my pores are less gunky and I feel more 28 than 40.
Because blogs are just better with photos, here is a dramatic re-enactment of my mornings before Paleo:
And a mere 18 days on Paleo:
The Fountain of Youth not enough for you? Well, here's more: my teeth feel cleaner. Is that even a Paleo thing? I don't know, but by the end of the day on Standard American Diet (yep, that's right, the food that the rest of you are eating has an acronym that spells SAD), my teeth felt coated with a grainy film. Who's the culprit? Is it you, Sugar? Or you, Wheat? Whoever dunnit, nowadays my teeth feel clean from brushing to brushing which I enjoy immensely. Yucky teeth are the worst.
P.S. I apologize for the bombardment of blogs. I've never subscribed to that theory that more is better. One blog a week is the perfect number for me, not too much for me to write, not too much for you to read. Believe me, I don't fancy myself so important as to imagine you are just sitting there, refreshing my blog, on the edge of your seat as to what I'm eating for dinner. I'm just super jazzed about this Paleo thing; I want to shout it from my little blog platform! And when I get excited about something, I want to share it with everyone I love. So, consider this a big compliment that I love you and want you to be healthy too. Hopefully, once the novelty wears off, the blogs will taper back to a one-a-week deal, but also hopefully, I will never lose this zeal for Paleo 🙂

Councillors are being recommended to back a change to the education system in the Ponteland Partnership next week, which will see a switch to a two-tier system of primary and secondary schools for some but not all.
A report to next Tuesday's meeting of Northumberland County Council's decision-making cabinet concludes that an analysis of the recent consultation, which ended last Wednesday, 'has led council officers to recommend a model for schools in Ponteland which broadly supports the views of the individual governing bodies'.
However, it also notes that due to the recent academy order for Ponteland Community Middle School, 'it is likely that the school will become an academy and will be removed from local-authority control before the start of the autumn term 2016. Therefore, the recommendations for the Ponteland Partnership of schools set out below cannot include recommendations for Ponteland Community Middle School (academy)'.
Cabinet members are likely to vote to publish the necessary statutory proposals to:
Extend the age range of Ponteland Community High School from 13 to 18 to 11 to 18 with effect from September 1, 2019, together with a new build;
Extend the age range of Ponteland First School from three to nine to three to 11 with effect from September 1, 2017, together with a new build;
Extend the age range of Darras Hall First School from four to nine to four to 11 with effect from September 1, 2017, in a new building on its existing site;
Support the extension of the age range of Heddon on the Wall St Andrew's CE First School from three to nine to three to 11 with effect from September 1, 2017, with the extension of the building to accommodate an additional 60 pupils.
Meanwhile the governing body of Richard Coates CE Middle School carried out a consultation concurrently with the council on extending its age range, but it has not formally approved this proposal yet. A decision will have been made by next Tuesday's meeting.
Belsay First School, Stamfordham First School and Whalton CE First School will remain as first schools.
Coun Robert Arckless, cabinet member for children's services at Northumberland County Council, said: "We have listened very carefully to all the views expressed. I am delighted that so many people have engaged in the process, showing their passion for children's education.
"Schools in the partnership asked us to run an open consultation and that is what we have done. We want to support schools to provide the best possible education for all children.
"As a council, we don't have a policy on the form of school organisation. Our overall aim is to make sure that our young people get the best possible education, in the best possible environments. We simply want to support schools to enable them to improve standards."
The proposals includes details of £55.1million capital investment that the council would make if agreed. New buildings would be constructed for a Ponteland Secondary School and Ponteland Primary School on a shared site, with leisure facilities. New school buildings will also be developed for Darras Hall First School on its existing site.

A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a composite filling.
There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. You and your dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or the more visible areas of the teeth.
As with most dental restorations, composite fillings are not permanent and may someday have to be replaced. They are very durable, and will last many years, giving you a long lasting, beautiful smile.
Reasons for composite fillings:
It is normal to experience sensitivity to hot and cold when composite fillings are first placed, however this will subside shortly after your tooth acclimates to the new filling.
You will be given care instructions at the conclusion of your treatment. Good oral hygiene practices, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new fillings.
I'm beyond grateful that I found Dr. Nguyen under my insurance and to yelp for the honest reviews. I came in for a root canal and I was most nervous about the injection part because it has always hurt me but I can't express enough how amazed I was that I did not feel anything at all ( I'm not even trying to exaggerate ) and I'm a person who feels everything doesn't matter if you try to convince me that I won't feel... I always feel but not this time. Also, Dr. Nguyen is such a wonderful, nice, and caring dentist, and let me not forget about the staff lol they are wonderful too! I still have more work to be done so I will update as I go, but so far beyond satisfied. I recommend 100%
I've been a patient with Dr. Kossi for 15 years. Dr. K and her team are wonderful, always professional and courteous. Everyone is jolly and have big "smiles", always sensitive to your needs showing empathy. I would recommend Smile City Dental to anyone looking for a Dentist. I understand some people have dental fears, I assure you your fears will disappear with your visits to SCD.

|Patmore Pit Dog Park - Whidbey Island Washington
We had a great time this weekend at Patmore Pit Dog Park on Whidbey Island. Forty acres of fenced area to run! Partially forested trails, partially large open grassy areas with a separate fenced area with agility equipment and another for small dogs. The weather wasn't great, but at least it wasn't raining.

The colors of Summer--
of grasshoppers and of rain
and of every rocket that climbed
the skies of July--
I gathered them for you
to burn in Autumn's bonfires.
Tomorrow, they are smoke
and ashes, hanging in the still air,
cold and colorless as the morning
of the first freeze.
