Posted contributed by Andrew Zurchen with Connor Sports – the basketball sport flooring specialists. Andrew loves reading and writing about anything basketball related. While he always dreamed of a career in the NBA, his lack of coordination, horrible shooting, and inability to jump forced him into early retirement.
I remember watching World B. Free (Lloyd B. Free) of the Philadelphia Sixers play in a game towards the end of his career. This explosive scorer would casually strut down the floor with an ineffable confidence and shoot the lights out of the basket time and time again. Watching this relatively small person (only about 6 feet tall) with a gold chain medallion around his neck, humiliate the opposing team, left a real impression on me. His spinning lay ups and high arching 25 footers were truly a sight to see. He was definitely an incredible all around shooter.
Free legally changed his name to "World" because of his ability to hit shots from around the world. He is actually credited with saving the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise back in the early 80's by taking the team to the playoffs and selling out the previously near vacant arena. World B. averaged over 20 points per game in his 13 NBA seasons and averaged over 30 points per game in the 1979-80 season. No, he doesn't make the list, but that is the point. There are countless players from the past that were incredible shooters just like World, and yet they don't even make the list.
That is just how good the top ten shooters really are. Obviously, this list is pretty subjective because the raw stats don't tell the whole story. A supporting cast has a lot to do with the amount and type of scoring opportunities a player really gets. Here is my list of the top ten shooters.
At 6 ft 10, Peja is the tallest player on the list. Despite his size, Peja had a sweet shot and currently ranks 6th on the list of most 3 pointers made in a regular season while averaging over 40% from behind the arc. Peja won the 3 point shooting contest twice and exceeded 100 three pointers 10 different times during his NBA career.
"Pistol Pete" is not only considered to be one of the best shooters of all time, he is also regarded by many as one of the best ball handlers of all time as well. While not able to match his insane collegiate scoring average of over 44 points per game, Marvich still had a very prolific NBA career. Marvich was known for his great long range shooting, but it actually wasn't until his final NBA season that the league instituted the 3-point shot where he hit 67% of his attemps in very limited play in his final season due to a knee injury.
Son of former NBA great Dell Curry, Stephen was born with basketball in his blood. After only a few seasons in the league, he has already set the record for 3 pointers made in a regular season at 272. Some NBA fans consider Curry and teammate Klay Thompson to be the best shooting duo at guard in NBA history. They just combined for a record 483 three pointers. Curry shot 45% for behind the arc, and the scary thing is that Curry still has several great years left in him. He could eventually very well go down as the best shooter of all time before it's all said and done.
Although the NBA is still reluctant to admit it, it is popular belief that Jerry West's silhouette was used when designing the current NBA logo. West played his entire 14 year career for the Los Angeles Lakers. West still holds the record for most points per game in a playoff series with 46, and I'm pretty sure that is a record that will never be broken. He averaged 27 points per game during his storied career, and was nicknamed "Mr Clutch" for this ability to hit big shots in clutch situations.
Ray Allen is a ten time NBA all star and current member of the Miami Heat. He will always be remembered as one of the most accurate free throw and 3 point shooters of all time. Allen already has an Olympic gold medal and NBA championship under his belt and could add another NBA championship to his resume before officially calling it quits. He is the all time NBA leader in 3 point field goals made at almost 2,900 and counting.
Bird was famous for being a little slow and not the greatest jumper, but when it came to shooting, he was one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history. He averaged over 24 points per game in his career, and next to Michael Jordan, he is known as one of the ultimate clutch shooters of all time. It was Bird's strong will and competitive spirit that mystically won games. He was a 12 time NBA all star and the leagues's most valuable player three times, and keep in mind that Bird had some great competition for the MVP award back in his day.
According to bleacherreport.com, "Reggie Miller is the purest and most magnificent shooter to ever step foot on a basketball court. It's not even close." During his 18 years with the Indiana Pacers, he took the team to the playoffs 15 times and to the conference finals six times. Miller was the consummate jump shooter that could run around screens, stop on a dime in a lightning fast motion, and shoot. He simply couldn't be stopped. The bleacherreport considers Miller to be the most efficient shooter in the history of the NBA. In the 1995 playoffs, Miller scored eight points in less than 9 seconds against his fierce rivals the Knicks. Those eight points in the final seconds of game one helped lead the Pacers to a stunning 107-105 victory over the Knicks.
I know. I'm sure I have probably left some great shooters off my list and many will disagree with at least a couple of my selections, but with so many great shooters to come through the league, it sure is hard to narrow the list down to just 7. How does your list of best shooters in NBA history compare?

Windham High Peak
Windham High Peak - NY Travel Blog› entry 823 of 1090 › view all entries
Another heat wave in New York City! Time to flee the hot and humid city. I considered it a nice moment to visit my beloved Catskill Mountains.
Today's choice was the 1074-meter (3524-feet) high Windham High Peak. With this altitude it barely makes it a member of the Catskill High Peaks, a collection of all the 35 peaks that are taller than 3500 feet. It ranks second last in this community. That does not mean that there is nothing to climb, the elevation difference from the parking to the summit is still a small 500 meter (1600 feet) of almost continuous climbing.
My hike book, which almost always gives me correct estimates of the hike duration said the return trip to the summit would take 5 to 7 hours. To my surprise I reached the summit in 1.5 hours. Given the fact that we still have long days I decided to extend the hike by adding the lower (969-m (3179-ft) neighbor mountain Burnt Knob to the hike.
At some point the views were really great. I could take a good look at the trio Peaks of Thomas Cole Mountain, Black Dome, and Black Head Mountain, all higher than Windham. Black Head had already been already added to my collection (see here).
Via my new route I descended the ridge more to the east, making the hiked distance 10.6 km (6.6 miles), still in 3.5 hours. In order to get back to my car I had to add another 5.4 km (3.4 miles) of hike on a country road to the hike. Making the duration still less than 5 hours.
On my way back out of the Catskills I briefly visited Colgate Lake. A nice sight with the soft evening light.

I read a book to my kids tonight that caused me to think about the innate spirituality of children.
John Muth's "Zen Shorts" was the story of the evening this time around. On the surface, the author introduces three contemporary Western children to a decidedly-Buddhist giant panda, Stillwater, but along the way, he gracefully weaves in three Zen philosophy tales. My personal favorite (though not my kids, of course!) is about letting go. Karl, the youngest child, goes to visit Stillwater, but he's quite mad at his older brother, Michael. Karl spends the day being mad at Michael, as Stillwater tries to educate him about enjoying the moment and releasing his anger. The parable Stillwater shares with Karl to illustrate the point goes something like this:
Two monks are walking along a country path. They soon are met by a caravan, a group of attendants carrying their wealthy and not-so-kindly mistress and her possessions. They come to a muddy river, and cannot cross with both mistress and packages – they must put one down and cannot figure out how to do so. So the elder monk volunteers to carry the woman across the river, on his back, allowing the attendants to carry her things, and then all can go on their way. The woman does not thank him, and rudely pushes him aside to get back to her caravan.
After traveling some way on their own, the younger monk turns to his master, and says, "I cannot believe that old woman! You kindly carried her across the muddy river, on your very own back, and not only did she not offer thanks, but she actually was quite rude to you!" The master calmly and quietly turned to his student, and offered this observation: "I put the women down some time ago. Why are you still carrying her?"
The story resonated with me as I read it, and both kids (ages 6 and 8) asked many questions about the literal events and about their meaning. We spoke about different religions – Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism. They understood at a basic level the similarities and differences – though they interestingly both focused on the similarities. But it was the very nature of questioning that struck me as so apropos. I am reminded of a verse (15) from the Tao Te Ching:
Do you have the patience to wait
till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself?
This concept of mindfulness, of being in the present, is so important to both children and adults. I think children mainly do live in the moment. Both the past and future are strange concepts until they age a bit. Perhaps we should learn to keep more of this "now" with us as we age. It would serve us all well.
P.S. This is an article sent to me two years ago; I've been meaning to share it for some time. No time like the present.
Nurturing the innate spirituality of preschoolers
Thursday, March 10, 2005
By len vaughn-lahman/san jose mercury news
The young daughters of Jessie and Andrew Hsu are hard-pressed to explain the meaning
of the Tibetan Buddhist chants the family recites on Friday nights. But it's obvious they like
Omar Omeira, 2, can't yet ask why his parents, Helal and Abbake, bow to the floor five
times a day in their Santa Clara, Calif., home, but he, too, raises his hands in supplication
to Allah.
Children need not understand such rituals to benefit from them: There is growing
evidence they are naturally attuned to the spiritual and that early experiences can provide
the foundation for a lifelong sense of identity and purpose.
Nearly all children experience ways of knowing and being outside of any training or
rituals, according to a new study by psychologist Tobin Hart, author of "The Secret
Spiritual World of Children." They include awe and wonder, intense feelings of love and
compassion, startling moments of wisdom and a deep curiosity about the profound nature
of life.
It took only a few days of reciting the sutras along with their mother before Hsu's girls,
ages 5 and 8, began asking "why?" said Jessie Hsu. "I tell them it's wisdom from the
Adults can help their children develop spiritually by acknowledging their questions, tender
feelings and experiences of a spiritual nature. That instantly establishes a mutual respect
that reinforces the child's identity and self-esteem, Hart said.
"We often think of kids as amoral or not having an ethical foundation, so we have to teach
them," he said. "But as soon as we begin to understand children as spiritual beings with
spiritual lives, we have to treat young people with respect.
"One of the things we've heard from parents is how much their children are spiritual
teachers for them. It's not hard to find a parent who says 'I teach my kids how to brush
their teeth, but from them I'm learning patience and unimaginable love.'Ÿ"
Hart is co-founder of the ChildSpirit Institute, a Georgia-based non-profit agency leading
a movement of academics and parents dedicated to exploring and nurturing the spiritual
life of children. It hosted the second annual U.S. conference on the topic last fall in Pacific
Grove, Calif.
What people are learning, he said, is that "if we're going to nourish spirituality as parents,
in religion or the classroom, as much as we want to show them the good life from outside
in, we need to draw equally from the inside out."
One way to do that is through stories that resonate with a child's inherent sense of
fairness and compassion, such as those of saints and prophets or the good deeds of
everyday people past and present. Prayers, chants or spiritually grounded behavior are
other ways.
Whether grounded in a particular religion or not, spiritual practices are being increasingly
recognized for their positive effects on children.
Jodi Beth Komitor, founder of Next Generation Yoga and author of "The Complete Idiot's
Guide to Yoga with Kids," recommends yoga instead of Ritalin to calm anxious children.
"Parenting with Spirit" by Jane Bartlett is one of several new books that lay out ways to
nurture a side of children too little recognized.
In the new book "Baby Buddhas," Lisa Desmond, a New England woman who develops
meditation programs for elementary school children, says meditation can become a
lifelong tool for finding "balance, harmony and knowingness within." Her "Cleansing Breath
Meditation," for example, gives children a method for letting go of thoughts and feelings
that make them feel sad, mad or bad.
San Jose psychologist Michael Jones says there are benefits in any routine, whether going
to church or some sort of meditative practice that supports a healthy home environment
or helps children calm themselves.
Jones says it's largely the parents' warm and accepting attitude toward ritual practices that
nourishes and calms children. But Hart thinks the routines do much more even for
toddlers too young to understand them.
"Sometimes the real job of it is to shift consciousness," he said. "A child might not have
any idea of the words of a chant, but the rhythm, ritual and energy of the community lets
him shift states, slow down the mind and open up to this wellspring of wisdom and

BT and MLC Superannuation Customers Experience Largest Increase in Satisfaction With Financial Performance
The resurgence of BT has resulted in them having the highest proportion of satisfied customers amongst the big 6 retail funds, a major improvement from last place in late 2010 and early 2011.
Satisfaction with financial performance of superannuation – Big 6 Retail Funds
Source: Roy Morgan Research March 2010 – August 2010; March 2011 – August 2011. Average six month sample n = 18,183.
The improvement in satisfaction of the major retail funds has resulted in them narrowing the gap to Industry Funds over the last 12 months, however industry funds on 53.3% still lead the big 6 retail funds with 50.5%.
Satisfaction With Financial Performance of Superannuation – Industry and Retail
Source: Roy Morgan Research March 2006 – August 2011. Average six month sample n = 18,340.
Over the last 12 months, the big 6 retail funds improved their customer satisfaction by 4.3% points compared to a drop of 0.2% points by Industry Funds. BT is now in the top 5 brands based on satisfaction with investment performance, while MLC is seventh, suggesting that the Industry Funds dominance of this measure may be under question in the future, with the difference between industry funds and the big 6 retail funds falling to its lowest level since the start of the Global Financial Crisis.
Satisfaction With Financial Performance of Superannuation – Brand Ranking
Source: Roy Morgan Research March 2011 – August 2011. Six month sample n = 17,968.
Norman Morris, Industry Communications Director, Roy Morgan Research says:
"It is interesting to see that the difference in satisfaction between Industry and Retail Funds continues to narrow in line with the improved stock market performance but more recent market volatility may change this. With Retail Funds increasing their activity in the low-cost end of the market this may also impact satisfaction levels.
"At a total market level, satisfaction with superannuation investment performance has fallen by 0.3% points from July to August 2011 as the sharemarkets have again begun to slide. The reduction in satisfaction is especially evident in those with self-managed super who have declined by 1.6% points since July as they start to feel the pinch of further falls on their balances, although with a satisfaction level of 73.4% they remain well ahead of all other providers.
"The low levels of satisfaction amongst those holding their superannuation with AXA and AMP presents a major problem for the market leader, but above average improvement over the last year gives some cause for optimism."
The Roy Morgan Research "Superannuation Satisfaction Report" is produced from an annual sample of over 30,000 interviews per annum covering all major providers.

Early Tuesday Morning:
From Martha Our Day, 12/22/15 -
Whether you like it or not, numerology, astrology, and dates and calendars have played a very important part of this journey.
This investment, which has taken so many twists and turns is about to be our reality.
We must accept the truth. that China, the BRICS Alliance and the Chinese dynasties are bringing to the world an alignment of wealth that hopefully will not only fix what is wrong in this world but promote a new future for this world.
We have just passed thru the winter solstice @11:11 gmt.
Look at the time: double 11's which is 22 which is today but also the ultimate master number in Chinese numerology.completion and being in total control of your destiny.
Also today is the 8th month anniversary of the actual the dinar which was 4-22-2015. Is it fate?
I don't know, except that I will say it is a total mirror of 2013 and 2014 but the difference is that it is OUR YEAR and will only get better as we head into 1-1-2016 which is "crazy eights" again.
Christmas, this year,12-25-2015,which is the end of the alignment period, when the hours of daylight and darkness will start to change again, also will have a 100 % full moon which only happens once every 19 years.
Are we looking for something significant to happen? Who can say. Also from Christmas to the first of January there is also an alignment of the planets as well.
Remember that in June we had the star of Bethlehem appear in the sky. Another rare sighting.
All I will say in closing, is that I believe this part of our journey is over. We now start the next stage, so to speak, of a better life for all.
Hopefully an end to greed and hatred; a new found balance; a world of peaceful co-existence and the capability to all be free again; to be able to be free thinkers; to create and build to clean up this planet that is our home; and to be able to explore, not just our planet but perhaps the universe.
Last night at the Cape, here in Florida, I witnessed the successful lift off of the Falcon 9 rocket with the actual return of the booster rocket in a landing back on the ground which was a first!.
Space exploration has somewhat been placed on a back burner for sometime. The amount of unemployment, here in this county is directly related to this situation.
I hope,for the future that we start to aim to the universe again.
Finally,I personally want to wish Seasons Greetings to all in Dinarland as well as a Happy New Year and a New Future to all.

Walkingstick: Zimbabwe to adopt Chinese yuan as legal tender in debt write-off
Published time: 22 Dec, 2015 10:05
Edited time: 22 Dec, 2015 10:26
The Chinese yuan may soon become a legal currency in Zimbabwe after Beijing confirmed it would cancel the African country's $40 million debt.
They [China] said they are cancelling our debts that are maturing this year and we are in the process of finalizing the debt instruments and calculating the debts," said Patrick Chinamasa, Finance Minister of Zimbabwe.
He added that the country plans to increase local use of the yuan which was added to Zimbabwe's basket of currencies last year. A multi-currency system has been in operation for the last six years, with the South African rand and US dollar in use since hyperinflation in 2009. At the peak of the crisis, the local currency became almost worthless, with 35 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars equaling one US dollar.
The yuan hasn't been approved yet for public transactions in the Zimbabwean market which is currently dominated by the US dollar.
Use of the yuan "will be a function of trade between China and Zimbabwe and acceptability with customers in Zimbabwe," said Chinamasa.
According to the finance minister, Chinese tourists could start paying for services in yuan and Zimbabwe could use the currency to pay its loans to China.
The minister added that the central banks of the two countries are already negotiating on a yuan clearance system.
"There cannot be a better time to do this. It is now about looking at the modalities, specific sectors and how it can be done," said Chinamasa.
China is one of Zimbabwe's biggest trading partners and is the country's largest investor. Annual bilateral trade between the two has risen from $500 million in 2010 to $1.24 billion in 2014. In the last five years, Harare received more than $1 billion in low interest loans from Beijing.
Early in December, during a four-day tour of Southern Africa, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Zimbabwe's leader Robert Mugabe. They signed ten economic agreements, including a $1 billion loan from China to expand Zimbabwe's largest thermal power plant.
President Mugabe adopted a "look East policy," following Zimbabwe's isolation by former Western trading partners over the country's human rights record.

So what is the sleeper currency for 2016?
Amen, to Martha for her observations about the SpaceX rocket test. I add my thoughts and prayers for our return to space and expanding our exploration of the near and far reaches of the Universe. Despite everything else happening on our world, these are the best of times to be alive. I am 75 and what I have learned in the last 10 - 15 years is far beyond anything I could have imagined. What we have learned about our Universe, from the unimaginably small to the infinite limitlessness is astounding. I highly recommend the books by the astronomer/cosmologist Brian Greene. Science does not deny God, but rather may be on the verge of confirming God. Exciting times, indeed!

Under a dress that is. Pantyhose or bare? :) its a girl with nice toned legs by the way.

Under a dress that is. Pantyhose or bare? :) its a girl with nice toned legs by the way.
Depends on what else she is wearing.
I supposed the pantyhose can be sexy enough for me to rip off.
Have an opinion?
Well, just beaus a girl has really nice legs, does not mean she has to show them off in every dress. Mix it up. Go bare at one time, and wear pantyhose another time. The dress plays a role in if she would look better bare, or in pantyhose. Look at yourself in the mirror, and/or ash your friends if they think you look better bare, or with pantyhose in a certain dress. Hope that helped.
Pantyhose look very sexy to me, so I'd go with those.
Hose is always better in my opinion. The sheer effect does wonders for me. =D
I know Ill be in the major minority here especially with the ladies because most of them don't like pantyhose but they are great they make a bad pair look good a good pair look great and something grow in my pants. (And I mean grow). I loe the look of Hose on women and I think it brings sexiness with a taste of class
Bare is best. I love seeing legs, and if you are wearing a dress or skirt, you should obviously shave.
Pantyhose for sure I absolutely love them very very sexy ;)
I find that even the sexiest legs look even better in a pair of nice sheer-to-waist pantyhose sans panty. I never liked panty lines even as a kid. I've been around professional dances and performers my whole life and most of them never wore anything under them and always looked great in their dresses or skirts.
Bare is so much more hotter ;)
bare. pantyhose gives of an old woman vibe to me.
bare legs is better. :)
pantyhose are always good. But if she really doesn't like them, that's fine.
with pantyhose definitely
Bare is best. There's a girl where I work with incredible legs who doesn't wear hose a lot. So freaking hot.
Lighter dresses go well with nude hoses and darker dresses go well with dark hoses. It really doesn't matter, it's probably more about if you didn't shave that day or not. I wouldn't think you'd want guys seeing your leg hair, would you?
Besides...the nude hose would give off the appearance that you're not wearing any, anyway, so why not just use lighter colored dresses all the time?
You cannot undo this action. The opinion owner is going to be notified and earn 7 XPER points.

It's no secret that I get a kick out of fermenting stuff. Anything really. I've been known to experiment with sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha and kefir, but my longtime love has been sourdough. I'm not sure exactly what it is about these foodstuffs that so fascinates me, but I think it's a combination of their aliveness and unpredictability. With fermented products, you are harvesting natural yeasts and bacteria from your environment and encouraging them to colonise your yummy items. There are loads of reasons why fermented foods are great, but these are my favourites…
- They can create useful byproducts, such as air bubbles and yeasts in the case of sourdough
- They help to preserve natural products when you have a glut
- The bacteria created through fermentation often make the item easier to digest. Many people with gluten intolerances can actually eat sourdough bread, as the natural fermentation makes it easier to digest
- They are often rich in nutrients such as Vitamins K and B
- They boost your immune system. The 'good' bacteria (probiotics) created through fermentation colonise your gut and boost your immunity.
- They taste really, really good.
Which is how I ended up attending a two day Sourdough workshop at the Mühlerama in Zürich. In Ballymaloe, Tim was king of the dough and most of my knowledge was gained from pestering him and following him around. I would regularly force him to sniff my starter, poke my boule or slash my loaf. He was ever patient and an excellent teacher, and while I was down in Shanagarry, my starter thrived and my loaves were victorious. However, something in my dough died the day I left the coast of East Cork, and it hasn't been the same since. I'm convinced it has something to do with the cold, desert climate in Switzerland. I swear I need to add 20% more water to make up for the humidity it was used to in Ireland, and even then, my overheated (and well insulated) Zurich apartment results in a ridiculously overactive, pongy starter. It makes satisfactory bread, but who ever aimed for that? I need beautiful boules, lovely loaves and delicious doughs.
So I thought the Mühlerama might be able to help me with a Swiss approach. The Mühlerama is a museum in Zürich devoted entirely to the history of flour, milling and bread. You can tour the building and learn about different grains and flour and you can see the mills at work, including the beautiful stone mill (imported from Nepal) that produces delicious stone-milled flour. You can also sign up to various workshops and learn from the breadsperts themselves, which led to my sourdough course.
Eight of us gathered on a balmy Saturday morning and were met by Sam and Maggie (our teachers). Sam is a Swedish bread fanatic who trained in the very famous 'Tartine' bakery in San Francisco. He is passionate about sourdough and religiously sticks to the mantra and processes he was taught by Chad in Tartine. Maggie is a chef and sourdough expert who runs Stazione Paradiso in Zurich. She first comes across as gentle and relaxed, but you quickly realise there's no messing for her when it comes to bread making.
For me, it was fascinating to compare the method of sourdough making we learned at Ballymaloe with what they whipped up at the Mühlerama. In Ballymaloe, we had to feed our starter every day or risk its swift demise, here were were told we could neglect the starter for up to a week, but should then ditch most of it, and give the remainder a big feed. At Ballymaloe, we kneaded the dough in a Kenwood machine, and it got a good bashing. Here we were taught to gently caress and seduce the dough. In Ballymaloe, we did a two day ferment in the fridge. Here we did a 24 hour ferment in a cool room. However, Ballymaloe and Sam also agreed on many counts. It is essential to use the best quality flour you can afford. It should be organic, local and full of flavour. You do not want to encourage the creation of bacteria and yeasts from a highly processed, inferior product. Another similarity was that both methods encouraged a long resting time for the dough. After the dough has been kneaded you should leave it so air bubbles and gluten develop. Then gently fold it, before allowing it to rest again. To a lesser mortal, these conflicting methods and contradictions could lead to brain explosion, but I decided to embrace the differences… I was also delighted to learn a method that did not involve using a mixer, because my Kenwood has bitten the dust (it's in the doctors at the moment so fingers crossed)!
As courses go, I can only reccommend Mühlerama. It was professional, well organised, personalised, fun, hands on, and… I got to take 8 loaves home (I still have one left in the freezer). It is very difficult to get the hang of something as varied and unpredictable as sourdough. You need to use all of your senses, especially smell and touch, to truly understand it (and even then, you'll have a long way to go). Being able to quiz people as knowledgeable and passionate as Sam and Maggie was a gift, and I will definitely be back for future classes!

Who doesn't like advent calendars…
Advent calendars are used to count down to Christmas.
- Advent calendars typically have openings that may hide pictures, poems, stories and/or small gifts and food items.
- The origins of the advent calendar comes from 19th century Germany, were Lutherans counted down the first 24 days of December.
- Some advent calendars count down to Christmas by lighting candles and are called advent candles.
- The first advent calendar was produced in 1851 and was handmade.
- Although advent calendars normally have 24 openings, some calendars have up to 31 or 32, for New Years Day.
- Although advent calendars are usually used for Christmas, sometimes advent calendars are used for other celebrations or long awaited activities.
- Advent calendars have 'advent' in their name since they are used at the start of the Advent, the Christmas season.
- The first printed advent calendar was printed between 1902 – 1908.
- To conserve paper, the production of advent calendars ceased during World War II.
Make cheap, eggstraordinary advent calendars at Imagine. Make. Believe!

Mudroom, Part 2.
I'm still painting the kitchen and mudroom, in preparation for the holidays. I started in the mudroom, and I'm moving towards the kitchen, and stopped for the evening. The orange on the right is the color of the dirt here in Virginia, but the idea of the having the kitchen and mudroom match our red dirt is an idea whose time has come and gone. The floor still mostly matches the dirt, but I was ready for a change. My friend Bridget suggested the grey would go well with the red, which matches the barn, and some of the trim on the house. The grey doesn't seem very farm-housy, but we'll see how it looks when all the coveralls and boots return to the mud room.

The immune mechanisms that underlie the pathogenesis and/or regulation of human autoimmune diseases represent a very important but significantly understudied aspect of human disease. Our understanding of autoimmunity and its intrinsic regulation derives from extensive work in animal models that may or may not reflect essential aspects of the human disease. As a result, most of the upcoming therapeutic strategies are also based on this body of knowledge. Moreover, we have very limited mechanistic insights into how currently used immune therapeutic approaches mediate their myriad immune effects in the human disease setting. To develop better diagnostic and treatment strategies, it is critical to study human immune disease directly and to dissect the mechanisms of immune therapies as best as can be done, given the constraints of the clinical situation. This would not only provide invaluable insights, but would allow us to develop better models of these diseases incorporating under-represented aspects of the disease. With that in the mind, the principal investigator (PI) has built a career in patient-oriented research, specifically focusing on the processes that underlie immune-mediated diseases and their therapies. This K24 mid-career investigator award will provide the PI with the resources and the protected time to mentor physician-scientists at various stages of their careers in this area of research. The major focus of the PI's laboratory is the immunology of multiple sclerosis, an immune-mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. The studies proposed here will apply current knowledge about the MS immune system to develop a diagnostic laboratory test for the immunologic monitoring of this disease. Other collaborative projects available for appropriate trainees include the dissection of immune dysregulation underlying hepatitis C virus infection, the pre-clinical validation of therapeutic allodepletion for minimizing graft-versus-host disease and diagnostic issues in hematologic and immunologic diseases. The PI's own division and department have large residency and fellowship programs (including both MD/PhD and MD candidates) as well as junior faculty with a particular interest in research. He is an active participant in several collaborative teams spanning multiple departments and has a track record of mentoring MSTP students, residents, fellows and junior faculty in the departments of pathology, neurology and internal medicine. The environment at UT Southwestern provides outstanding support for the development of this program, with multiple internal mechanisms of support and infrastructure already in place. This award will greatly facilitate the ability to train the next generation of scientists in this important NIAID endeavor.
This K24 mid-career investigator award will support the investigator with the resources to pursue further research in understanding human autoimmune diseases and will provide the protected time to mentor physician-scientists at various stages of their careers in this area of research. The major focus of the PI's laboratory is the immunology of multiple sclerosis, an immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system. The studies conducted will dissect out how the immune system of MS patients is different from that of healthy individuals, with the potential of unveiling important treatment and diagnostic strategies.

Well, I have good and bad news.
Good news - The baby is measuring right on date! Right on! September 30th and moving all around. She said if I can't feel the movements now I should in a week and a half.
Bad news - She couldn't get 1 measurement they really need so I have to go back on the 24th and seen if the baby cooperates. Every time she would try to get it when the baby would jump and box, it would stop. She tried for an hour for this measurement. I laid on my sides and everything but it just wouldn't cooperate (just like Owen)
He is measuring 5 cm long and has very long arms and legs. Oh and did I say he! That's right she said I was still early to find out but her guess for what she seen it was a
! She said ask again next week and they will probably tell me for sure. I have a picture of the baby but I still have yet to get my usb out of the car I will do it sometime this afternoon.

However, I too would not expect them to last very long. I'm not entirely sure that the hub of the rotor is not part of the problem. Can you confirm that the hub is straight before turning them? I expect the magic lathe would be able to determine whether the hub is out of spec laterally. This would seem to be a critical issue, doncha think? Regardless, I bet you don't get more than a few thousand miles of regular driving before you warp 'em again. Definitely report the results, though. Your friend may have a new business here. Please post the results/details of whatever you end up doing on the four-pot upgrade. I will prolly go there too, eventually. Sarge 91 200q 86 5ktq

One difficult part about visiting a new church is knowing what to expect. Read below to help make it easier. Then make sure you watch the video on the homepage.
There are two entrances to our facility. If you enter through the west doors you'll be right by the auditorium. If you enter through the south doors, you'll be at the Café and right by the Riverbank Kids check-in.
Here at The River Church, we are more concerned with people than conformity. This means you can come dressed casually, bring your own coffee or get a free cup of coffee in The River Café before the service starts and take it with you into the auditorium.
The services generally last about 65 minutes. They will include contemporary music complete with electric guitars, drums and a focus on Jesus Christ. Generally, the message follows the music and it will be Bible-based with a challenging relevant application for daily life. Toward the conclusion of the service, the offering is received. We want you to know that you are our guest, so don't feel obligated to give—just do so if you sense that you should. We're simply glad you're with us!
Our Riverbank Kids Ministry is staffed by dedicated volunteers and led by a staff member who is an expert in children's ministry. Each of our volunteers has had a background check to ensure your child's safety.
Bring your child to the Riverbank Kids check-in station to get started. Your child will receive a tag as will you and with that tag, only you can retrieve your child. They will learn Bible stories and values, have fun, sing songs and want to come back!
Below shows what we offer for your kids during each service, so you can plan ahead on which service you want to attend.

CREDIT: AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster FBI Director James Comey was fired last night in what experts in authoritarian regimes are calling a "shock event." You may recall Comey from his starring roles potentially costing Hillary Clinton the election and, more recently, investigating the Trump administration for possible collusion with the Russian government. The White House wasted no time calling for an end to the investigation — while Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway managed to completely contradict the administration in record speed. Numerous Republicans have criticized Comey's firing, which came days after he requested additional resources for the FBI's investigation. But some people are celebrating, including the Trump advisers at the heart of the Russia probe.

21st Century marketing tools
Yahoo's Delicious, blog radio, websites dead in 2010
If U aren't using QR Codes & Apps, you're ancient history
At the end of 2010, Facebook reigns supreme, followed by Twitter. Those companies that wouldn't listen to me four years ago when I told them they needed a YouTube and MySpace presence are now looking for "SEO" (Search Engine Optimization) on their websites - at least for the ones still in business.
WAKE UP!!! We are on the eve of the 21st Century's second year of the second decade. It isn't 1998 anymore. Bring your management thinking into line with what year it is.
Your blog, website, blog radio, Delicious account, podcasts, Yahoo groups are all dead. Mostly dead for 10 years now.
There are half-a-billion people on Facebook. Half-a-million SmartPhones, iPhones and iPads are activated daily in the USA. WAKE UP!!
If you aren't using QR codes and Apps, your business will soon be ancient history. Google says videos are 60 percent more popular in search results than text.
More than two years ago I said your next computer would be an iPhone. Today I add or SmartPhone. Welcome to 2011.
Don't let your business become a Yahoo group, blog or website -all pretty much dead.

Enterprise resource planning or ERP is a software that allows companies or organizations to manage the entire business organization using a system of integrated applications. ERP software systems usually cover aspects such as development, manufacturing, sales and marketing.
The ERP software is made up of modules. Each ERP module is focused on one aspect of the business and oftentimes, these modules are individually purchased according to the needs and technical capabilities of the company or organization.
Some of the common ERP modules are the following:
- Order management
- Inventory management
- Warehouse management
- Procurement
- Manufacturing management
- Planning
- Financial management
- Business Intelligence
- eCommerce
- Project accounting
- Technology
There are various companies that sell ERP systems. While it might be feasible for organizations who have the technical expertise to buy their ERP modules from different suppliers, it is better to buy all of the business' ERP modules from one single company that exclusively develop, sell, implement and support such ERP system.
Because ERP systems encompasses many aspects of the business, the data that they provide help streamline the operations, increase profitability and gain a strategic competitive advantage.
Among the popular vendors of ERP systems are SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Sage, Infor, QAD, IFS, Lawson, Epicor, Consona, Exact Globe, Syspro, Visibility, CDC Software, Activant Solutions and NetSuite.

As a urologist who has dedicated his life to men's health issues, I am amazed at the response I get when I tell someone that every year more men are diagnosed with prostate cancer than women are diagnosed with breast cancer.
The response I usually get is: "How come I didn't know that?"
The reason is that women have been incredibly successful at raising awareness of breast cancer. Just turn on a football game on Sunday and see the wash of pink. Pink socks, pink shoes and pink mouth guards. Even the footballs themselves have the breast cancer logo with the pink ribbon.
The high profile of breast cancer relative to prostate cancer translates into a huge discrepancy in research on the two diseases. For example, in 2010, the National Institutes of Health spent almost $4.5 billion on breast cancer and its Women's Health Initiative.
For prostate cancer? Only $331 million.
How much for the Men's Health Initiative, you wonder? Zero.
There is no Men's Health Initiative, despite the fact that the life expectancy of a man is 5 years less than for a woman and that men die of ischemic heart disease at a rate 50 percent higher than women.
Recently the United States Preventive Services Task force advised healthy men not to get a PSA blood test to screen for prostate cancer. What a mistake. Men are already in denial of health issues – we certainly don't need another reason for men not to go to the doctor.
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer in men, second only to lung cancer. One out of every 6 men with prostate cancer will die of the disease. Prostate cancer death rates have dropped significantly from 1995 to now.
The main reason: PSA testing and earlier detection.
Today we have a much better understanding of the strengths and limitations of the PSA test. In addition to detecting prostate cancer, we now realize that the PSA test is great for detecting benign (non-cancerous) prostate disorders, such as prostate infections (prostatitis) and benign prostate enlargement or BPH.
These non-cancerous conditions affect many more men than does prostate cancer. Before proceeding with a biopsy looking for cancer, the goal of PSA testing should be to rule out prostatitis and BPH first. Understanding and implementing this approach makes the PSA test much more effective.
When we do biopsy the prostate and the result is cancer, in over 50 percent of cases, the grade of the cancer is typically low. In these men, we begin an active surveillance program that usually avoids the need for surgery or other invasive treatments. For many men with low grade prostate cancer, surgery and other forms of treatment may be avoided by diligent, increased surveillance.
Now, it's important to remember that 20 years ago when I was a resident (before PSA testing was an option) most of the men we saw in the clinics where dying of metastatic disease from late stage prostate cancer. These men had diffuse bone metastasis with severe pain. Today, PSA testing has allowed us to greatly reduce the diagnosis of "late" stage prostate cancer. While late-stage prostate cancer remains incurable, modern treatments have prolonged and improved the lives of many of these men.
PSA screening is especially worthwhile for men who have relatives that have died from prostate cancer, and African Americans, who have a higher chance dying of prostate cancer. For those men who have high grade cancer that are detected early by PSA, and there are many of those, the PSA test is a lifesaver.
Finally, we men need to learn how to help ourselves. Let's take a page from the breast cancer advocates and insist that the spotlight finally shine on men and their health issues. Perhaps next year the NFL can teach us to take care of our own health!

Franco Scalamandré opened his fabric mill in 1929 in Long Island City, Queens, and one of the first orders was a silk brocatelle for the estate of William Randolph Hearst.
Since then the orders have kept coming, keeping Scalamandré at the pinnacle of the luxury interior design market.
The company's handmade silk fabrics, used mostly for expensive drapery, wall coverings, upholstery and other furnishings, have furnished thousands of prestigious and historic places over the decades. Company officials boast that Scalamandré fabric has been used in White House redecoration by every administration since Herbert Hoover.
But one thing at Scalamandré is changing: the company announced this week that it had recently sold the mill in Queens, and plans to relocate much of its manufacturing to a modern textile mill in South Carolina.
The company insists, however, that Scalamandré's distinctive weaving process will not change.
The company is now owned by Mr. Scalamandré's family and run by two of his grandsons: Mark J. Bitter and his brother Robert F. Bitter.Continue reading the main story
Mark Bitter, the company's chief executive, said it had long outgrown the Queens mill and must move to escape the high costs of manufacturing in New York, despite various incentives offered by New York City and New York State to remain.
''It's a shame we can't stay,'' Mr. Bitter said. ''It's a great old facility, but we can't expand manufacturing in it. We're handcuffed.'' Franco Scalamandré, who died in 1988, passed control of the company to his son-in-law, Edwin Bitter, who eventually turned over control to his sons. Mark Bitter, who played in the mill as a child, called the move ''a bad thing and a good thing.''
''My heartstrings are attached to the mill, but in business you often have to put your emotions aside,'' he said. ''We can't keep losing money hand over fist. Business-wise, we should have moved 30 or 40 years ago.''
Scalamandré silks, which Mr. Bitter said sell to interior designers for up to $2,000 a yard, have furnished such New York City hotels as the Hôtel Plaza Athénée, the Four Seasons and the St. Regis. Scalamandré created the curtain at the Metropolitan Opera House and the fringe on Big Bird's legs.
Mr. Bitter said the company would phase out most of its work in the Queens mill in May and June, but would continue to rent a portion of the mill from the new owners for the company's trim manufacturing division, archives and studio offices. He would not name the buyer.
Mr. Bitter said that of the 90 employees at the mill, some would remain there, and some would relocate to work at the new mill. He said 50 workers would be laid off but would be given severance packages and help in finding new jobs.
The company has showrooms worldwide -- its largest is on the Upper East Side -- and Mr. Bitter said the company was always able to show important New York customers the mill, ''but that's a luxury we can no longer afford.''
The 115,000-square-foot mill, which occupies two adjoining buildings on 24th Street in Long Island City, contains about 200 specialty looms and other machinery for converting raw, sticky silk strands from Brazilian and Chinese silkworm farms into refined fabric with patterns that have vibrant color and depth.
Skeins of raw silk are boiled and cleaned and dyed in the basement and then converted into finely wound thread on spinning flywheels called swifts. Spools of it are then placed on warping machines, which collate up to 1,000 strands at a time across the room onto a large flywheel. On the first floor, women seated at long tables hand-stitch ornamental trim with rich brocades and hand-woven tassels. A half-dozen old wooden looms powered by worn wooden pedals resemble the 1786 winding machine (said to have belonged to Marie Antoinette) on display in the reception room. Some of these looms will be donated to a textile museum in Pennsylvania in June.
''It's really a lost art,'' said Kyle Homan, 40, Scalamandré's vice president for manufacturing. He picked up a piece of a powder blue silk with a zebra pattern he said had been made for the designer Kate Spade. He passed four narrow tables each 55 yards long, where wallpaper is silk-screened by hand using a four-foot template. In the next room, fabric is painted on five 65-foot tables.
Years ago, the company hired many Italian immigrants living in Queens, but now it employs many local Hispanic immigrants who retain textile skills from mills in their home countries. On Wednesday, Alexandra Abalos, 31, an Ecuadorian immigrant who lives in Astoria, Queens, guided raw silk onto a winding wheel and then onto smaller spools.
Mr. Bitter said the new plant would let the company grow and improve consistency and quality. The 13 tall jacquard looms, which can weave 10,000 silk strands at one time into densely woven silk finery, are being moved to the new mill and enlarged.
He said the move to South Carolina would reduce costs 40 percent and increase productivity 300 percent.
''Down there,'' he said, ''you have lower overhead, lower taxes, lower occupancy costs, lower labor costs, lower everything.''Continue reading the main story

Anyway, I would appreciate comments from tpf'ers who have the small classic flap and those who have the medium/large flap. I notice there is only a small difference in the dimensions of the bag but I would like to know if there is a big difference in functionality? And am I right that there are only 3 sizes for the classic flap - the small, medium/large and jumbo size? Please do let me know what you think! Thanks!

Defence and security company Saab has signed a contract with Baulderstone to provide security services for the South Queensland Correctional Precinct near Gatton, Queensland. This contract marks the first major international introduction of Saab′s security solutions for protection of high-security locations and establishes Saab in the civil security field in Australia. The project is a 300-bed women′s prison, the first stage of a development that is planned to eventually house 3000 prisoners. The system installed at the South Queensland Correctional Precinct follows on from similar solutions that have been widely installed in Sweden, including prison and probation services, airports and nuclear power plants. All security systems will be connected into a common infrastructure, creating a common picture and thereby enhancing the security."This is a breakthrough for Saab′s security solutions for protection of high-security locations on the international market," said Gunilla Fransson, President of Saab Security. "The contract also confirms the strengths of the key concept of the system, bringing a higher level of awareness to the decision making process and creating the base for more decisive and pro-active operations." "We are pleased to be awarded this contract to support the Queensland Government (Queensland Corrective Services) and Baulderstone, where we will be leveraging Saab′s extensive technology expertise into this advanced security system," said Lindsay Pears, MD of Saab Technologies Australia. "We also see it as a positive opening for new growth in Queensland." Saab will be responsible for the design, development and delivery of the security services, as well as the integration of sub-systems and sensors such as intruder alarms, electronic locking systems, CCTV cameras, biometric identification, heartbeat detector and number plate recognition. Baulderstone is the Managing Contractor and the Project Manager is Project Services, a business unit of the Queensland Department of Public Works. Final delivery is planned for 2011.

That's for a single keyword, however. So if you're bidding on 20 keywords, and you choose to pay the
same amount for all those keywords, your overall monthly PPC spend would be $1,800–$3,000 per
month. Most small and medium-sized business can't afford to sink that much money into a PPC
program, so you've got to find a way to reduce that amount. That's usually accomplished by begin-
ning with a few of the keywords that you've defined and then replacing the ones that don't work
with others from the list that you've defined.
It's important to remember, however, that PPC shouldn't be the only element within your SEO
budget. In fact, PPC should equate to only 20 or 30 percent of your total SEO budget. Other SEO
efforts should also be ongoing, so that over time your organic keywords and other SEO efforts
become as effective as your PPC and other paid marketing campaigns.
Understanding Bid Management
According to some experts, online marketers will spend more than $7 billion on PPC campaigns by
the year 2010. This means that PPC campaigns are going to become more competitive and more
expensive in the very near future. To help you compete, you'll need to monitor and manage your
keywords very closely. Bid management is the method by which you control the amount spent on
keywords. There are two methods for bid management: manual bid management and automated bid
Manual bid management
Manual bid management is bid management that you conduct on your own. To manually manage
your PPC bids, you must keep up with what your competition is doing, track your conversions,
test and monitor the performance of existing and new keywords, watch your PPC campaigns for
fraud, and make changes to all campaigns when necessary. And if you happen to be running PPC
campaigns with more than one PPC provider, you must do all that for every group of PPC ads
you're running. It's a very time-consuming process.
That fact is enough to make some people opt for using automated bid management software or
services. But even with automated bid management, there are a few strategies that you'll need to
manage on your own:
Don't obsess over the number one slot.
It's contradictory to what you would expect, but
you don't really need to be number one. Nor can you afford to be number one in most
cases. The number one slots are usually snatched up by large companies that are using
PPC to boost their sales. And they often have seemingly unlimited budgets to spend on
their PPC efforts. That means if you're fighting for the number one slot, you're likely to
spend so much on that spot that your PPC campaign will be pointless.
Another reason to avoid the number one slot is that most people don't trust the first ad or
search result on which they click. Many people will click through several ads before they
make a purchase, provide information that generates a lead, sign up for a newsletter, or

Early Breakfast with Jenni Falconer 4am - 6am
1 August 2014, 15:01
Seven people who conspired to burgle houses and garages and steal cars across the Milton Keynes area have been jailed for a total of 33 years in prison.
It's thought to be the largest conspiracy investigation in the history of the Milton Keynes local policing area, with more than 170 offences.
22 year-old Richard Barrett (Taranis Close, Wavendon Gate), 20 year-old Daniel Simpson (Jonathans, Coffee Hall), 21 year-old Michael Walsh (Mullion Place, Fishermead) 33 year-old Andrew David (Perran Avenue, Fishermead), 19 year-old Rhys Roberts (Walshs Manor, Stantonbury) and 35 year-old Paul Camara (of South 10th Street, Central Milton Keynes) sentenced at Aylesbury Crown Court yesterday (Thursday 31st).
A 16 year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, also appeared before the courts alongside the six men.
In total there are 178 crimes that make up the various offences, committed between 15 April 2013 and 26 October 2013.
The total value of items stolen was in excess of £200,000, with more than £90,000 worth of criminal damage caused in the process of carrying out the crimes.
Det Insp Matt Darnell, who led the investigation, said:
"The sheer scale of the offences committed by these men is unprecedented in the Milton Keynes area and had a massive impact on our local communities. Their actions over a six month period saw residents' concerns over burglaries across the town increasing, particularly those in the cycling community, who were targeted for a number of high value bikes.
A significant amount of work went into this complex investigation and this has been reflected in the fact that those charged have all entered guilty pleas as the evidence against them was too strong to argue with. I would like to thank the victims of these men for their cooperation and support during this investigation, and whose help bring these criminals before the courts and punished for what they have done.
Burglary will remain to be a priority for the Force in the Milton Keynes area and we will continue to robustly police those who would commit this type of crime. I am pleased with the sentences handed down by the courts today as this reflects the impact their actions had and sends out a clear message to those that would commit this sort of crime - if you break the law you will be caught and you will be punished."
Adrian Foster, Chief Crown Prosecutor for Thames and Chiltern Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said:
"This case involved significant conspiracies to commit burglaries and steal, amounting to 178 recorded offences. For six months during 2013 (April - October) a gang of determined, prolific and ruthless burglars based in Milton Keynes initially targeted garages and sheds and then moved on to motor vehicles, dwellings, and commercial premises.
The gang's leaders were Richard Barrett and Daniel Simpson with Andrew David as the principal handler of the stolen property. Paul Camara and a 16-year-old youth, who cannot be named for legal reasons, played a lesser role, and Michael Walsh and Rhys Roberts joined the conspiracy in June and July respectively, but all were enthusiastic and active participants.
Their crime spree was well planned and organised with most offences taking place at night. At the peak of offending, some nights in excess of 10 properties were systematically targeted in one night.High value and easily disposable property was stolen including bicycles, motor bikes, golf equipment, cigarettes and alcohol.The value of the damage and stolen items is estimated to be in excess of £300,000.
All the incidents were evidentially linked to the defendants with a combination of text messages, phone data and taxi booking information.The overwhelming evidence led to their guilty pleas at Aylesbury Crown Court on 17 June.
These criminals left a trail of destruction behind them, thought they were untouchable, and have had an enormous impact on the local community.It is not a coincidence that the crime wave ceased upon the arrests of the gang.
The CPS and police have a duty to protect the public and take this kind of criminality extremely seriously and built a strong case, linking the incidents, to present the court with the full extent of this gang's offending.
This case sends a clear message to those involved in this kind of criminality that we will robustly prosecute them to ensure that justice is done, and that they will pay with their liberty."

Aims of the Department
The Modern Foreign Languages department aims to develop independent and creative language learners. We want all boys to enjoy learning, make progress and achieve. We recognise that Modern languages skills are a pre-requisite in today's professional job market and we promote advanced study of languages. In year 7 and 8 all boys learn French, with selected year 8 boys studying Spanish as an additional subject.
As well as achieving academically, we think it is important to promote language confidence and skills for real-world purposes. Our aim is that students develop openness towards other cultures and understanding through their learning of the richness unique to each language. In a global community, understanding the principles of different languages and how to apply them to learning new ones is a vital skill. Pupils are offered opportunities to practise their language skills in context and learn more about other countries through a programme of visits abroad.
KS3 Units
Our KS3 teaching units take into account the requirements of the new GCSE Specifications.
In Year 7, the boys will firstly learn how to greet others and introduce themselves.
The topics that then follow are Family, Pets, Food, Sports, School life, Countries and Travel, Geographical features and Hobbies.
In Year 8, the boys will study the topics of Accommodation, Home Life, Daily Routines, Jobs, Part-time jobs and pocket-money, Future plans & employment, the Local area, including problems in the area.
Our lessons constantly promote cultural awareness of the target language countries.
The MFL department designs outstanding lessons to ensure every boy is able to make progress. Our lessons, based on the University of Cumbria Methodology, ensure that boys remain interested and fully engaged through a wide range of lesson activities and resources. We also have a boy-friendly MFL in-class library to encourage pupils to read in a foreign language, thereby extending their range of vocabulary.
MFL Co-Curricular
The department is heavily involved in the school's co-curricular programme, including lunchtime activities.
We currently offer French board games, French Cinema, French booster sessions, Foreign Language Spelling Bee, Spanish for beginners, Cultural discovery including cooking and early GCSE preparation for bi-lingual students.

Eyes US services PMI release Traders now await the services PMI figure released by two separate authorities – Markit and ISM. Out of the two, ISM is likely to get more attention, given the employment sub index influences expectations surrounding Friday's non-farm payrolls report. Ahead of the data release, the EUR traders would also keep an eye on the sentiment in the US stocks. As of now, the major index futures are wobbly and that is keeping funding currency EUR on a positive footing.

On the other hand, a breakdown of immediate support at 1.0887 (5-DMA) would see prices drift lower to 1.0853 (daily low). For more information, read our latest forex news.
