I love some those looks he gives, like...Yeah, whatever, man; I just burned one; life's good.
Though I can only hope to become the person who my animals believe I am, the things that they have taught me have made me a better human being. ~~~Sharon~~~

Re: Skinny rescue
Very happy I came across this forum. I was given my Dutchie about 5 months ago and he was also underweight. The previous owners had him on a raw diet but we're only feeding him 2 drum sticks in the morning and two in the evening and he was only 7 months. When Ingot him I did my own research on feeding raw and they were not feeding him correctly or enough. I switched him kibble simply because of cost. At this time, I can't afford to feed him raw properly. I switched him Merrick but he still need to put on weight. It's good to know that adding a high quality can food can also help but it's ok if it takes some time for him to put on the weight. He is 1 now and has a ton of energy. I have to take him to daycare because he escapes the crate and destroys my house.

Jumping Bean Bag is…
Jumping Bean Bag is …
- A well-established 25 year-old, scientifically proven, UK designed, programme of activities for developing physical skills in Early Years; teaching physical skills to enhance a child's ability to learn; raising levels of achievement by up to 40%, especially amongst disadvantaged children, to create a level playing field or platform for learning.
Jumping Bean Bag is at the heart of Active Learning:
- A set of resources for teaching physical skills
- A series of activities that can be used at different times of day in Early Years settings
- A set of resources that can be used in school AND at home
- To help teachers deliver physical activity sessions in an Early Years setting
- Designed specifically for children aged 2 – 7 years
- A series of training workshops.
- UNIQUE in the UK
- Proven and effective
- Continuing to evolve and develop … over 25 years
- Using latest research and development from around the world
- A tried and tested method for improving cognitive skills essential for learning
Jumping Bean Bag enables Schools and Pre-Schools to meet Early Years Foundation Scheme targets:
- In addition to meeting physical attainment targets, Jumping Bean Bag develops
- language,
- numeracy,
- social and emotional skills
- An understanding of health and spatial awareness, as set out in the EYFS (May 2012) for children aged 2-7yrs.
- A solution to the sedentary life-style of a growing generation; to combat obesity
"JBB …Each component can be used independently, however when used appropriately by trained teachers it becomes a very powerful teaching tool with a broad range of topics to support the development of language, numeracy, social and emotional skills with an advanced understanding of health and spatial awareness" as described by the Professional Development Board of the UK's Association for Physical Education, 2015.
Jumping Bean Bag can be used as a positive intervention with measureable outcomes:
- As a progressive programme of activities and ideas which can be used at different times of the school day or as a framework for a PE scheme of work for EYFS and KS 1.
- An activity for a small group of children; for an individual at home; for a whole-class lesson.
- As a simple effective tool for involving parents in the development of their child(ren).
- As an activity which can be done at home, indoors, outdoors and in your own time;
- As interactive television making exercise fun and accessible for children and parents.
- As an activity that is safe, easy, and readily understood by old and young and therefore very do-able.
- As a Take-a-Break, 10—min bite-sized activity
- As an extra-curricular activity
- For peer-teaching at Breakfast Club
- As a parent+child fun-fit-exercise/circuit training activity
- On rainy-days as an indoor activity or by play-leaders as a playground activity.
- As a programme of exercises it has achievable goals.
Resources to Support Learning in schools, nurseries, day-care and childminder settings:
- JBB Story Sack enables schools/nurseries to meet the EYFS target "to involve parents in the development of their child".
- The Story Sack includes DVD, 2x BEANY, 4x Story books, Diary, stickers, Bean Bag Challenge Cards with Score Card and a guide book for parents/grand parents. The Story Sack supports a child's individual learning but also enables the whole family to get involved and be more active at home; improve fitness and skills, having fun.
- Individual record/attainment cards to evaluate, record and reward progress.
- Uses evidence-based studies to show how teaching young children physical skills can have a profound effect and positive impact on their ability to learn, raising levels of achievement irrespective of socio/economic backgrounds; meets Government requirement to justify expenditure. http://app.griffith.edu.au/news/2012/11/15/swimming-kids-are-smarter/
Other JBB resources include:
- Bespoke Workshops ; Lesson Plans; 4 separate Story books; DVD; BEANY, the bean bag; 7-day Bean Bag Challenge; Fun Fit and Physical Activity Cards; Stickers; Colouring-in
- The opportunity to deliver JBB under licence with on-going support.
- Each Jumping Bean Bag package can be tailored to your school's requirements.
JBB and the EYFS (May 2012):
- To encourage dads and mums to become more involved in their child's development and to give ideas as to how they can support this development at home.
- Benefits all three of the prime areas of learning – personal, social and emotional (helps develop confidence, interaction with piers and happiness); communication and language with rhymes and action songs(develops language through physical activities which helps kinetic learners in particular; introduces language of movement and a programme of activities specifically designed for " warm-up to learning") physical development – gross motor skills, co-ordination and spatial awareness; healthy muscles and bones; circulation; lung capacity and a fat-burning metabolism.
- Enables – making a judgement on how children learn, informed by the characteristics of learning
- Active learning – through physical activities
- Creating and thinking critically – what works and what doesn't (balance in particular)
- Playing and exploring – valuing the process of learning and not just the end result
- Keeping children safe – effective organisation and communication when delivering physical activities to a group of young learners.
- The new EYFS framework puts greater emphasis on the three prime areas which are most essential for children's healthy development – the healthy triangle is the foundation of the Jumping Bean Bag programme / scheme of work.
JBBC designed specifically to acknowledge the growing body of evidence to show that physical development and gaining control of own body can significantly improve a child's capacity for learning and performance in mathematical-related tasks, language and communication and ability to cope with formal learning. Levels of physical co-ordination and gross motor skills are synonymous with levels of confidence and happiness.
- Listening skills, in particular benefit, from teaching physical activities
- EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMMES: Jumping Bean Bag programme provides a framework and/or scheme of work for young children to be "active and interactive; to develop their co-ordination, control and movement" , in a way that is both entertaining and educational –
- BEANY the bean bag allows children to take ownership and shape their own learning; to explore ways of balancing, jumping, bending, stretching and rolling and help them to understand "the importance of physical activity" but at the same time to have fun with physical activity.
- EMOTIONAL : Jumping Bean Bag programme helps children to develop a positive sense of themselves, and others; to form positive relationships and develop respect for others (safe space); to develop social skills (sharing); to understand appropriate behaviour in groups and have confidence in their own ability..
- JBB programme can be delivered through planned, purposeful play and through both adult led and child-initiated activities.
- JBB allows practitioners to facilitate different ways of learning – allowing children to "have a go"; encourage children to concentrate and keep on trying if they encounter difficulties; to develop their own way (ideas) and make links between ideas; develop strategies for doing things.
- EARLY LEARNING GOALS: Listening and Attention – evidence (from Australian study) that teaching children a physical skill improves their "learning" ability; learn to follow instructions involving several ideas/tasks.
- Children show good control and co-ordination in large and small movements; move confidently in a range of ways; handle tools and equipment effectively.(warm-up)
- Children know the importance of physical exercise and ways to keep healthy and safe.
- Through JBB, children develop self-confidence and self-awareness; are confident about trying new activities and can say why they like some activities more than others; can ask for help when they need it – skill development (balancing; hand-eye coordination; jumping – working on their own to develop their own learning and problem solving)
- Can work as part of a group/team; can take turns; can understand and follow rules (warm-down games).
- MATHEMATICS – use quantities and objects; use shapes and space; timing; position; distance; counting;
- ASSESSMENT – is an important part of the learning and development process: at the end of each JBB session there is an activity to evaluate each child's learning and development; each session has progressions; an opportunity for practitioners to observe the learners which does not involve prolonged breaks from interaction nor require excessive paperwork.
- DVD and 4 books – this is a resource which can be used at home to support a child's learning and could involve the parents in the child's development. (Story Sack: with DVD, 2x BEANY, 4 books, BEANYs Diary and Stickers)
- To develop both sides of the brain equally – a balanced approach to learning
- Jumping Bean Bag encourages independent learning,
- Exploring what works and what doesn't;
- Valuing the process of finding a solution and not focussing on the end result exclusively:
- Discovering there is more than one way to achieve the same goal;
- Realising that with physical activities there is more than one way of learning and the fun is finding out for yourself how to do 'it', exploring different ways of doing 'it' …
- I CAN DO IT … if I try.
INTRODUCING The Jumping Bean Bag Resources and Training … with BEANY (AS WRITTEN FOR SASP )
- Warm-up Action Rhymes; Exercise and Skills Development; Warm Down games and Measurable Outcomes
- With – Bite-sized , 10-minute exercise sessions
- Bean Bag Challenge activity cards;
- 4x Story books;
- BEANY's Diary, stickers and colouring-in
Educational resources and a framework for learning/teaching PE to children aged 3 – 7 years; focuses on using a small bean bag called BEANY to develop gross and fine motor skills together with muscles and bones, a healthy immune system and metabolism, confidence and co-ordination ; Fun Fit & Physical helps children to listen, watch and do with BEANY; encouraging children to "give it a go", to be part of a team (of two or three), to share and learn from others, plus ways of using physical activities to develop language, number, spatial awareness and social skills. (see Order Form template for list of resources and prices attached)
In addition to the resources available to support the teaching framework, Jumping Bean Bag offers training/workshops for those looking for new ideas and "to add another string to their bow"; for NQTs and Early Years Professionals with little or no experience in delivering PE and Physical Activity sessions, helping to devise "outstanding lessons" and create "better learners"; generic or JBB-specific workshops using JBB as a framework for teaching; for those looking to use JBB as an extra-curricular activity; peer teaching at Breakfast Club or as Parent+Child fun fit circuit training sessions. (See Training and Resources attached)
Jumping Bean Bag uses evidence-based studies * to show the benefits of teaching young children (aged 18 months – 5 years) physical skills in preparation for learning; to develop confidence and co-ordination which helps raise levels of achievement (particularly amongst disadvantaged children). The Griffiths Institute for Educational Research report focusses on swimming but concludes that "acquiring physical skills" is the key: *http://app.griffith.edu.au/news/2012/11/15/swimming-kids-are-smarter/ AND *http://sallygoddardblythe.co.uk/
A Canadian report into obesity and physical activity in children, also highlights areas where Jumping Bean Bag could be used as a positive intervention with measureable outcomes: *http://www.cfp.ca/content/57/7/779.full
- As a simple effective tool for involving parents in the development of their child(ren).
- As a varied programme of activities and ideas which can be used at different times of the school day or as a framework for a PE scheme of work for EYFS and KS 1.
- As an activity which can be done at home – indoors, outdoors and in your own time and therefore does not require much planning, forethought or expenditure.
- As interactive television making it both accessible and acceptable, as it is already the preferred way for parents wanting to 'entertain' and 'occupy' children.
- As an activity that is safe, easy, and readily understood by old and young and therefore very do-able.
- As a programme of exercises it has achievable goals.
In Summary – The Canadian report demonstrates how involving the whole family has been positively linked to increased physical activity levels, and family-based obesity treatment programs are among the most effective for combating paediatric obesity….For lifestyle interventions to be effective, parents must be encouraged to be positive role models for their children and to incorporate safe physical activities that the whole family can enjoy.
Mandy Gwynne-Jones: CV and QUALIFICATIONS
Sept. 1999 – June 2005 – Lecturer and Tutor at Bridgwater College
Having gained my City & Guilds Teaching Adults qualification I worked as a lecturer and tutor in Physical Development on the 2-year BTEC course and the Physical Activities in the Early Years module of the 1-year CCE (Certificate in Childcare & Education)
I also lectured in Health & Safety on the 2-yr BTEC and visited students on placement to evaluate both the student and the setting and to assist students with on-placement assignment work e.g. devising their own lesson plans, to ensure that activities were age-appropriate. This required both tact and diplomacy as well as sympathy, encouragement, support and a firm hand. It gave me a real understanding of all aspects of the curriculum from both sides of the track ie teachers and pupils.
1988 – July 2004 – Set up and developed The Jumping Bean Bag Club (JBBC). I trained with the British Amateur Gymnastics Association in Pre-school physical education and worked at Chilton Trinity Sports Centre before writing my own programme of exercise rhymes and activities (described by Daily Mail as a "Jane Fonda workout for the Under 5's!). I then took this programme, JBBC, into schools , into sports centres and to village halls throughout Somerset.
In Taunton's (then new) Tennis Centre I started Have-A-Ball with the Jumping Bean Bag as a way of getting younger children into tennis (this was then adopted by the LTA and became Starter Tennis).
I also ran workshops for pre-school and infant teachers to deliver the JBBC programme, supporting Key Stage I and Early Years.
I was employed by Taunton Pre-Prep to co-ordinate the PE delivery and activities for Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 culminating in devising "Sports Day without tears" ! I worked with the EYFS curriculum with Nursery but ran pre-school and after-school activities for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 with particular interest in using physical activities for those with some learning difficulties.
I trained others to deliver Jumping Bean Bag and scaled back on delivering Jumping Bean Bag myself in schools when my work at Bridgwater College became my main focus and I wanted to concentrate on teaching 16+. I had to stop altogether when our youngest daughter became very ill but she is now fully recovered.
I have recently trained two new deliverers who plan to set up their own Jumping Bean Bag Club in a part of Devon.
September 1975 – March 1976

2010 – First Aid in the workplace training
2011 – Supervision Training (SRYP in-house)
BEANY and the Jumping Bean Bag's HISTORY
Originally the DVD (and books) with exercise rhymes, action songs and skill-developing activities, using a small bean bag called BEANY, were devised to encourage children to listen watch and do, at home, in their own way and in their own time; to support the activities the children did when they attended Jumping Bean Bag Club sessions either with a parent or on their own; to develop key motor skills, build strong bones and muscles and a healthy fat-burning metabolism. By having a resource that could be used at home, with siblings/friends which did not need to involve "the grown-ups", children gain confidence, self-belief, control and independence.
The DVD has been specifically designed for children aged 2 – 7 years; to entertain and educate children at home, on their own, together with friends, siblings, granny and grandpa or Mum and Dad…. A Jane Fonda work-out for the under 7s, 40 minutes peace and guilt-free, healthy TV.
Over the years JBB has evolved and now includes a range of products which include a DVD, Story books about learning to balance, jump, catch&throw and no-equipment games, Bean Bag Challenge activity cards with score-card, a choice of ten, 10-minute bite-sized exercise sessions, BEANY's diary, stickers, badges, colouring-in and resources to support training and education enabling the programme to be used in a variety of different ways, in school, at home, for peer teaching, by carers, parents, grandparents and childminders, lunchtime-assistants, classroom assistants, Early Years professionals and SEN etc.
The DVD includes warm up rhymes, exercises, action songs and activities designed to teach gross motor, core skills and co-ordination with confidence. JBB's activities promote social, personal as well as physical development and the three key skills for learning – listening, watching and doing, developing a child's ability to control and co-ordinate and thereby developing confidence.
The Jumping Bean Bag Training /Workshops
- For CPD ; support/training for newly qualified teachers and EY Professionals; offers an introduction (with continuing support) to delivering Jumping Bean Bag activities / programmes in schools and nurseries.
- Can be tailored to suit an individual school or cluster group; can be specific to Jumping Bean Bag or more generic – particularly for newly-qualified teachers and Early Years Professionals who have recently completed a PGCE and have little or no experience in delivering physical activity sessions.
One-Day workshop options include:
Organising and Delivering Physical Activity Sessions for children aged 3 – 7 years
- Sports Day without Tears
- Using physical activities across the curriculum: lessons to create better learners
- Progressions and Adaptations – working with SENs and Learning Support
- Jumping Bean Bag and Have A Ball Programmes: understanding and working with JBB. Using JBB as a scheme of work /wake up to learning / extra-curricular/ unsupervised play.
History and Development
Since 1992, the Jumping Bean Bag programmes have been used to deliver a EYFS/Key Stage 1 scheme of work for PE; as an after school activity, pre-school club for children aged 2 – 7 years, in sports centres, at holiday playschemes and through workshops for Early Years Professionals, in Somerset.
With the addition of a range of Educational Resources (in 2013) The Jumping Bean Bag can now be used in a number of different ways in schools, nurseries and at home. For EYFS staff and NQT's, it provides a great framework, a fresh approach to developing gross motor skills and co-ordination with confidence and an additional set of ideas and activities from which they can develop their own physical activity sessions.
In November 2012 we made a DVD of the programme so that children could follow the exercises, activities and rhymes on their own, at home, and this is now included in the Story Sack, with BEANY's Diary, 2x BEANY, a set of BEANY's bean bag challenge cards & scorecard, 4x Story books plus stickers, colouring-in etc. We are about to make a 2nd DVD in a studio setting (April 2014) based on the 10-minute exercise sessions (see power point draft).
http://www.jumpingbeanbag.co.uk/ Alongside the educational and home-based learning resources, we also offer training and workshops, to provide CPD or to enhance existing skills, together with lesson plans and on-going support if that is what is required: for those looking for new ideas and "to add another string to their bow"; for NQTs and Early Years Professionals with little or no experience in delivering PE and Physical Activity sessions, helping to devise "outstanding lessons" and "better learners"; generic or JBB-specific workshops using JBB as a framework for teaching;
Jumping Bean Bag uses evidence-based studies * to show the benefits of teaching young children (aged 18 months – 5 years) physical skills in preparation for learning; to develop confidence and co-ordination which helps raise levels of achievement (particularly amongst disadvantaged children). The Griffiths Institute for Educational Research report focusses on swimming but concludes that "acquiring physical skills" is the key to learning: http://app.griffith.edu.au/news/2012/11/15/swimming-kids-are-smarter/

Writing assignment
The reason why I love his music is the simplicity of the texts.
You can relate to the lyrics and the meaning because it isn't complicated. It is just straight forward with nothing to hide.
He writes about love in all forms and with so different feelings. It can leave me sad, with tears all over or dreaming about something good to come.
" I don't know who I am, but I know that I'm yours"
" You need to die a few times before you can live"
" You put your hand on my shoulder and told me that life was something simple, but I couldn't agree"
" Life changes where ever I go, and maybe it won't always be us two"
Most of the lyrics that I really like is just parts where the "truth" is told. That life isn't simple or that you get lost in love and really don't know anything other.
Words like that just goes straight in to my heart and at some point it maybe hurts a bit, but although you know your not alone with that feeling.
Every other person that can relate to the music feels just the same was as you do.

Q: What does FAQ stand for?
A: Seriously, it took me about two years to figure out that it stood for "Frequently Asked Questions". Don't judge me.
Q: What is Wicca?
A: Simply put, Wicca is a nature-based religion. It focuses on living harmoniously with the earth, respecting others, and doing things that make you happy.
Q: So, Wiccans worship the devil, right?
A: False. Wiccans don't believe in hell, so we don't believe in the devil.
Q: But they cast spells on unsuspecting townsfolk, right? I've seen "The Crucible"! I know how it works!
A: Woah, now. Calm yourself, questioner. The biggest rule in Wicca is "harm none", so the chance of being hexed is pretty low. Additionally, unless asked, a good Wiccan will never interfere with someone else's life. It's just rude.
Q: So what are Wiccans doing while they're sitting in those circles?
A: I grew up Christian (basically), so the best way I know how to explain it is by comparing Wicca to Christianity. When a Wiccan casts a circle, that's like walking into church. The circle is just a physical representation of a spiritual place. When a Wiccan works a spell, that's their form of prayer. Anything used in the spell (herbs, oils, colors, etc) represent things that are needed in that situation.
Q: So Wiccans kill cows and cats for spells, right?
A: No, dude. Don't be weird. Wiccans respect all life, including cats and toads and even spiders (Though, if I'm honest, I have a hard time respecting spiders when they're crawling around my kitchen. Luckily, the Husband has no fear of creepy critters, and is always around to escort them outside).
Q: What is a Solitary Wiccan?
A: Some Wiccans want to hang out with their friends on Holidays. When you party with a group of people, that group is called a Coven. If you prefer to just do your own thing, and aren't part of a coven, you're called a Solitary Wiccan.
Q: CK, how did you get so awesome?
A: I don't know, questioner. I just don't know.
If you have any other questions, send them my way. If they're asked frequently enough, I'll add them to this page.
(Because it's the Frequently Asked Questions page, not the No One Ever Really Asks page. Duh.)
CK, how DID you get to be so awesome?!

To make the yogurt, I heated the milk to 185F and let it sit at that temperature for 20 minutes. This seems to help the yogurt come out thicker. The pot is then put in a cool water bath and stirred occasionally until the temperature is down to about 116F. I then added 8Tbs of yogurt (from a previous batch and frozen until needed) and stirred well. From previous experience, I learned that placing the pot on a heating pad on low and covering the pot with a double layer of bath towel will keep my milk at 115-117F overnight. In the morning. I stirred the pot well and placed it in the refrigerator.
Now I was ready for the fun part.
First thing I did was to take two cups of yogurt and put it in a separate container. With a couple tablespoons of honey stirred in, it is a delicious treat as is.
Like most recipes these are more of guidelines for you to follow and modify according to your personal tastes. Honey has many different tastes and sweetness. The most widely available is clover honey and is moderately sweet. Orange bloosom honey has a little bit of a tang to it. Local honey will have a range of flavors for you to experiment with.
The rocky road recipe and chocolate yogurt are set to my taste for a less sweet yogurt. I used semi-sweet mini chips in this batch. Try some chocolate mint sometime if you like the minty flavors. Use your favorite nuts, pecan, almond, or hazel nut, even crushed peanuts aren't bad.
Have Fun and make more cheese.

I was recently given four items of Hillstonia pottery, an ornamental jug and three planters. It seems that the manufacturer, (perhaps, "thrower," is the more accurate term), of these items was the Moira Pottery Company Limited.
Initially I thought that this business might have had a Northern Irish heritage, but this was not the case. It operated from a site some five miles outside Burton-on-Trent. Operations seem to have commenced in 1922, with incorporation following in 1928. The pottery closed in 1972 just after it had celebrated its fiftieth anniversary with the publication of a commemorative booklet. The buildings were demolished and the site became part of an opencast coal mine.
I think these items date from the mid 1960's. One of the planters still has the original price on its base, - 5/7. The planters are designed for the growing of bulbs, particularly hyacinths. I might buy some.

Inspired by the Ghribi family's passion for sport
Chairman Kamel Ghribi has long held the belief that success in business is born from an ability to perform at the very highest levels. It is this belief, coupled with his passion to make a difference that has resulted in the GK Investment Holding Group's latest venture – GK Elite Sport.
GK Elite Sport was inspired by the Ghribi family's passion for sport, and although no strangers to the field of competitive sport sponsorship, GK Elite Sport has chosen to make a difference now by targeting the lesser-known and more highly skilled sports. The principal aim is to raise the visibility of such sports and thus inspire young athletes from around the world to venture into new territory.
Competitive sport has always been considered valuable, not only as an individual pursuit, through which young minds are able to learn sacrifice, discipline and perseverance; but also on a collective level, as an inculcator of compromise and cooperation across cultural, religious and political affiliations. Such a philosophy is in alignment with GK Investment Holding Group's ambition to transcend tensions created by cultural differences in order to achieve mutual gain.
GK Elite Sport aims to harness the outstanding potential of young athletes and transform it into true sporting success in the international arena. A strong belief in athletic meritocracy underpins our philosophy. In sponsoring young sportspeople from all backgrounds, we can strive to mitigate the barriers faced by less privileged young athletes by offering the support and resources necessary to break into otherwise inaccessible fields.
The only pre-requisite expected from talented young athletes is an unshakable belief in team spirit, great psychological endurance and of course a desire to be the best in their field. In return for this dedication, GK Elite Sport is committed to developing its young athletes and accompanying them on/along their path to success.

The Royal International Air Tattoo is seen by many enthusiasts as THE greatest military air show in the world but this year's show left a sinking feeling in my stomach. Slightly sceptical about the show, I headed to the Gloucestershire countryside on 20th July to see what the organisers had to offer.
The 2011 show was a total disaster on the ground – a plethora of stalls totally unrelated to aviation, a concert stage that meant the commentary feed was inaudible and far too much money was spent on acts to display on that stage which ultimately led to a poorer display in the air as a result. It's fair to say that the enthusiast community was thoroughly unimpressed with the outcome and many a meeting was held by those in charge to address the many complaints generated from unhappy customers. A few months passed and it was announced that 2012 would be a classic year for the Air Tattoo – a stripped back show trying to get back to its aviation roots without any of the cumbersome additions that plagued the ground just 12 months previously.
Last year's show was absolutely fantastic. As promised the concert stage had all but vanished and the stalls selling double glazing, garden swings and ornaments had also disappeared. The focus was clearly on getting star items for both the flying and static displays…and it showed! The team at RIAT had turned over a new leaf and for the first time in many years it felt as though all was on track to get back to the glory days of aviation. The aviation community praised the efforts put in by all involved and were genuinely excited for this year's show…that was until the plans for this year were revealed.
Much of the fun about the Air Tattoo is in finding out what will be attending in the months running up to the show. This year though, the excitement turned into frustration and disappointment when 'star' items turned out to be RAF displays that were always guaranteed to be there anyway. The lack of US hardware both on the ground and in the air was compensated with civilian flown warbirds which many would argue, do not belong at the world's biggest military air show. As if that wasn't enough, the press day consisted of an RAF Typhoon landing, a BMX stunt display and a comment that will probably be remembered as the beginning of the end – a comment stating that RIAT's biggest competitor was a theme park and that's the sort of atmosphere they wanted to create.
Two weeks of brilliantly blue skies and soaring temperatures meant that Saturday's show was sold out before the gates had even opened and as I set up on the flight line at 8am, I was soon glad that I'd decided to settle down early rather than look round the static. Even though the build up to the show had been full of let downs and missed opportunities (not even approaching the Swedish Air Force Historic Flight), there was still plenty of interesting items to be seen in the air – the first of which were the routines from the Dutch Air Force.
The Dutch Air Force display teams are becoming regulars on the UK display circuit and they have to be admired for their commitment to us. Dressed in a fantastic scheme to celebrate the Dutch Air Force centenary, the Apache kicked off the weekend with a superb display of rotary agility. The Apache and F-16 completed a fly past together before the 'Orange Lion' kicked in the re-heat and tore up the sky. We've come to expect a fantastic routine from the Dutch F-16 pilots and this year's display was no different – another superb performance in one of my favourite fighters of all time.
The next display that was of particular interest was the Finnish Army's new NH90 which was making it's UK debut. I'd seen the company's display of the NH90 back at Farnborough last year and was rather impressed with it's routine. Unfortunately I felt a little let down by the Finnish routine because it was very much focused on crowd centre, so if you were either end of the runway you barely got a look in apart from a few turns.
Another aircraft making its UK flying debut was the brand new Boeing KC-767A from the Italian Air Force which flew in formation with two Typhoons (one from the RAF and one from the RSV). Although a very short display with just one fly past, it was nice to see the aircraft in a refuelling formation and even more impressive were the performance takeoffs of all three aircraft.
One aircraft that has really grown on me in the last twelve months is the Saab Gripen and to my delight there were two present at RIAT – the first of which was a routine from the Swedish Air Force. In previous years I've found the Swedish routine to be fairly sedate but this year it was brilliant and in my opinion was far superior to that of the Hungarian Air Force that displayed later in the afternoon. The Swedish display felt much closer to the crowd line where I was and I thought the routine flowed much more naturally. Overall though I thought they were both very good and should both be commended for their displays.
Making a very welcome return to RAF Fairford was the Polish Air Force MiG-29. Staying low on take off and pulling into a high G turn to begin it's display, the Polish Air Force did their absolute best to show off the power of this Eastern block fighter. A lot of afterburner and plenty of that infamous black smoke made this one of the stand out displays of the weekend. Always a pleasure to see Russian built hardware at UK shows.
Although I said earlier that warbirds didn't really belong at RIAT, for me there were two exceptions to that rule. The Flying Bulls have displayed here several times in the last couple of years but never at Fairford. Red Bull's original plan was to send their P-38 Lightning and Corsair but the Lightning sadly had engine issues – as a replacement, they happily sent their chrome-finish B-25J Mitchell. I was almost glad that it had clouded over a little more when the aircraft got airborne, had it have been really sunny then the chrome finish would have been a nightmare to shoot! A lovely formation display by both aircraft before splitting and carrying out their solo routines. It was a display I'd not seen before and I look forward to seeing more from the Flying Bulls in the coming years.
As well as their shiny new tanker, the Italian Air Force also sent their RSV Typhoon and C-27 Spartan for the flying displays. I had heard many good things about the RSV Typhoon display in previous years so was rather excited to see it announced for the flying display a few months back. As the Eurofighter multi-role aircraft left the runway, it's smokewinders kicked in and off it went into the circuit to begin it's routine. Although the smoke added an extra dimension to the display, I felt that the RAF Typhoon was much superior – the Italian routine lacked both power and noise. Putting the Typhoon aside, the C-27 Spartan routine was absolutely phenomenal and no matter how many times I see the transport aircraft roll and loop, it still defies physics in my eyes. A tightly flown display by the Italians – it's incredible to see what can be done with just two of the C-130J's turboprop engines.
I think possibly the highlight of RIAT 2013 for me was the formation fly pasts from the RAF Red Arrows and British Airways' brand new Airbus A380. It was one of those moments that will forever stand out in my mind and I can honestly say that it made me feel incredibly patriotic – The Red Arrows trailing red, white and blue smoke while the A380 is leading the display with BA's trademark colours. A truly fantastic fly past and if that alone wasn't enough, the A380 then broke off and performed a missed approach – my jaw hit the ground as the Airbus giant slammed on the thrust to pull into a climb. A very British display and one that I'll never forget.
The Airbus A400M was also present at the show and like the A380, it also made a fly past on the Sunday with the Red Arrows. The first time I saw the Atlas display, I remember thinking how majestic it was in the air and the show at RIAT certainly didn't disappoint. It was fascinating to see how the Hercules' replacement can be thrown about the sky and it's easy to see that it will excel in an operational environment. The most impressive feature of it's entire display was the steep approach to full stop landing using just a minute part of the available runway. I'm looking forward to these coming into service, that's for sure.
A first for the Air Tattoo was the participation from the Estonian Air Force who sent half of their fleet – one Antonov An-2 and an L-39 Albatross. The L-39 was for the flying display and was painted up in a scheme inspired by the Baltic Bees. The pilot gave a spirited display of the small jet trainer but at times the aircraft was just a little too far from the display line and the routine felt disjointed. At several points in the display, the commentators called the wrong parts of the display – I can only assume that they had a very basic routine script to talk about. It was lovely to see Estonia contributing so much (compared to the size of their air force) to the flying programme and hopefully as their air power grows, we'll see more from them in the future.
Finally for the flying displays – it would be rude not to mention another award-winning performance from the RAF Chinook display team, well done on the hat-trick!
It's fair to say that the static display at RIAT this year was empty compared to previous years – it would appear that Fairford just can't cope on the ground without US participation. There were plenty of big gaps where US tankers and transporters would usually see and it all looked a bit sorry for itself – I don't understand why they didn't shrink the display line a little too compact everything up a little more. There were also plenty of civilian types that just wouldn't have been seen in previous years and these simply don't belong at a military air show.
There were really only three aircraft on the ground this year that I really wanted to see; the Breitling Super Constellation, French Mirage's and Canberra XH134. The latter only got approval to fly in late Friday afternoon so very well done to all involved and it was great to see her back at the Air Tattoo after her final display there in 2006.
The Super Constellation was due to attend last year but due to engine troubles, it had to cancel. Fortunately it was available this year but only for static display – nevertheless it was a chance to see a beautiful airliner from a bygone era and I really hope to see her in the air in the near future.
The star item(s) of the static display for me were the two Mirage F1s from the French Air Force – two stunning aircraft that I've not seen before so it was a pleasure to shoot them up close. Sadly I didn't see them in the air at any point but I understand that those in the Mach Loop on the Monday got a welcome treat when they took the long way home!
As I mentioned earlier 2013 is the first in a three-year plan to change things at RIAT and this year saw the addition of 'service stations', a larger fayre ground and the 'adrenaline zone'. The service stations were actually a really good idea – a choice of different food, free public WiFi and toilets all in one location and there were three of these stations (one for each coloured zone). Unfortunately the standard of the food available was still dire and the prices still unreasonable – the service stations are a great idea but really need refining.
Now the parts I wasn't too sure on.
The adrenaline zone consisted of a Caterham driving experience where you paid £10 to go doughnutting and an extreme sports show hosted by Animal and…WD-40. On the Saturday I saw these two things from a pure aviation enthusiast perspective and thought 'What the hell are these doing here? They've nothing to do with aircraft'. However on Sunday when I was walking around the showground, the Caterham experience queue was at least 30 people long all day and the stunt show was crowded and drawing more attention by the minute. The same with the fayre ground too, all day there were families queuing to go on the rides.
As much as I disagree with these things being at an air show, I guess as long as people are showing an interest in them then they'll continue to pay for them to be there.
RIAT 2013 was strange. A fantastic flying display that overall stayed true to what the Air Tattoo is all about – securing top displays from the world's air forces but a static display that was almost verging on being a total disaster.
If July's show was anything to go by then this year was a turning point for the Royal International Air Tattoo.
It is absolutely crucial for the team to remember where the Air Tattoo all started and not to forget it's pure aviation roots. After all, 'the world's largest military air show' needs to remain exactly that. The show used to be something that you could be proud of but now, if it's to carry on in this direction then I'm not so sure. There's a lot to be learnt from 2013 and only time will tell as to whether the organisers choose to listen to the feedback or not. I know many people that are seriously considering not paying for a Mach pass next year – many who have attended the show for longer than I've been alive.
Sadly, due to a sell out show on both days, RIAT 2013 will be seen as a huge success but underneath those ticket sales are many things that need addressing.
RIAT…it's over to you.

Janica was, on the other hand, 16th in the 1st run but dropped one place in the 2nd run. But, she continued collecting points and The Crystal Globe should not slip her hands. «I was never very good at that course» said the world's best skier. Other Croatia's representatives, Nika Fleiss and Ana Jelusic, didn't make it trough the 2nd run. Both of them were very unpleased with Maribor's course.

The name "Cheboque" comes from the Mi'kmaw word for "big marshes", a very accurate name for this area. Beginning at Arcadia, the Cheboque salt marsh sprawls 343 hectares (837 acres) alongside the Cheboque River.
According to a 1607 map drawn by Samuel de Champlain, there may have been homes along the Cheboque River as early as 1607, which would make it the third oldest European settlement in Canada after Saint-Croix (1604) and Port Royal (1605). Cheboque was a major Acadian settlement until 1755-58 when the community was destroyed and many of its inhabitants deported by the British. In 1761 New England Planters settled the former Acadian lands and built a community based on fishing, farming, lumbering and shipping.

A Diverse Landscape
Chebogue's extensive salt marsh makes it a very important ecological area that has contributed to Chebogue's fishing and farming industries for centuries.
With each tidal cycle, the salt marsh and mudflats trap floating debris such as seaweed. The seaweed decomposes and provides nutrients for millions of tiny organisms that are, in turn, consumed by larger
Salt marshes also protect farmland by removing sediments and toxins, from the water, and acting as a buffer from tidal invasions such as storm surges. For many years, Chebogue's rich agricultural land supported local farms, as well as a thriving dairy industry.

While 6th District Congressman James Clyburn's numerous legislative attempts at securing funding for a study of deepening the Charleston Harbor has been blocked by anti-earmarks GOP Senator Jim DeMint, Clyburn is redirecting his attempts through White House channels.
Clyburn says with larger cargo ships set to sail through the widened Panama Canal in 2014; Charleston must be prepared to handle these vessels. Clyburn says he has previously asked for $400,000 for the study, but he eventually hopes to secure $600,000 for a more extensive study.
The Charleston Harbor's present main channel depth to all container facilities is 47 feet. The $400,000 study would look at deepening the main channel level to 50 feet.
Clyburn says the harbor channel was lowered to its present depth 12 years ago and other adjustments were made for ships to more easily maneuver through the channel. He says additional adjustments may have to be made for the anticipated larger ships that will be using the harbor in the next few years.
Port officials have said that the study focused on the deepening of the Charleston Harbor is a critical initial step in a $300 million expansion of the port, which many state business analysts says would be a huge catalyst for badly needed job growth in South Carolina.

New Rojiblanco primary honors World Champion 1974-75 team
Atlético de Madrid have wrapped up one of their best seasons in recent memory. The club ended the dominant run of their biggest rivals in La Liga, FC Barcelona and crosstown foe Real Madrid to finally capture the league title. They would also play in the UEFA Champions League final, just losing out in extra time to Real Madrid in a spirited affair, paying tribute to club icon Luis Aragonés. Despite this, the club and longtime kit provider Nike have unveiled a new home kit that honors the club that would become the best in the world.
The kit has Atlético's trademark red and white stripes with blue trim. The jersey has a blue v-neck polo-style collar with matching thick sleeve cuffs. Inside the shirt, the triangular tab is in the Spanish red and yellow colors with the text "Campeon del Mundo 1975" on it. The club, replacing German giants Bayern Munich, faced Copa Libertadores champion Independiente of Argentina in the Intercontinental Cup, the predecessor to the Club World Cup. The two-legged tie ended with Atlético victorious 2-1 on aggregate, as they defeated the Argentine club 2-0 at Atlético's Estadio Vincente Calderón in the decisive leg. The stripes features faint chevron patterns within the design, and the shade of red gets lighter as the stripes decend. The sleeves also have the red and white stripes, something last season's home kit did not have. The back of the shirt will have a white blank backside. The shorts will be in blue with white trim, and the socks red with white trim. Azerbaijan returns as the main kit sponsor.
The Rojiblancos will look to exceed from where they left off last season, and found perhaps one of their best inspirations within the club's history. Does Atlético have what it takes to become one of the world's best clubs again?

Panthers forward Jaromir Jagr leaves game with injuryNHL.com @NHLdotcom
Florida Panthers forward Jaromir Jagr left the game against the Colorado Avalanche in the first period Tuesday with a lower-body injury.
Jagr played 2:24 on his first three shifts in the first period, then didn't step on the ice again for more than nine minutes. He came back at 17:38 but played six seconds before leaving.
"I think it's a groin or hip, something minor," Panthers coach Gerard Gallant said. "Hopefully tomorrow he's fine."
Florida was already without center Aleksander Barkov, Jagr's linemate, who is sidelined 2-4 weeks because of a broken hand.
Vincent Trocheck had two goals and an assist, and Reilly Smith had a goal and an assist for Florida in its 4-1 win.
"Losing Barkov, then losing Jagr today, we need a little bit more from everybody," Panthers center Jussi Jokinen said. "We got it tonight."
Jagr leads the Panthers with six goals and 10 points. His 728 NHL goals are three behind Marcel Dionne for fourth place.

WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) - Telecommunications stocks mostly fell in Tuesday action, though Nortel Networks and Lucent Technologies proved notable exceptions.
Most other stocks traded within a tighter band, though falling generally on the negative side of the ledger.
Lucent LU shares rose 13 cents at $3.51, a 3.9 percent gain, after the company renewed a deal to supply networking gear to Verizon Wireless worth "at least $5 billion." See full story.
Nortel NT meanwhile, jumped more than 12 percent after hinting that more cost cuts are on the way, as the company seeks to improve its financial condition. Shares closed up 53 cents at $4.76.
Yet the broadly based Nasdaq Telecommunications index dipped 0.1 percent.
In the Amex Networking Index, stocks fared even less well. The index declined 1.95 percent.
On the downside, Adtran ADTN, +0.34% sank 14 percent to $25.56 despite posting strong second-quarter results. The company slightly reduced third-quarter and full-year projections in a conference call with investors, triggering the sharp pullback.
The phone sector, meanwhile, was also split. Seven of the 12 largest publicly traded companies declined, but only AT&T T, +0.17% off 42 cents at $14.81, lost more than 2 percent in value.

Albino Accompaniment
More often than not when I'm not styling and working on a post, I'm stark white with red or yellow eyes. This morning I chose to wear my red ones and I kid you not, a couple hours later CerberusXing put out this adorable albino squid named Ika. Needless to say, I was really excited to have a pet to match me! It wasn't expected in the group chat that Ika and I really did match pretty spot on. I'm thrilled with my new squid buddy to keep me company while I sit around in my favorite Zibska lingerie and work on my projects with the Audace Sirens. The comforting bubbles were a nice touch.

Shanghai: Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer set up their third major semi-final clash in two months on Friday as the pair each sailed to straight-set wins at the Shanghai Masters.
Second seed Djokovic, who lost to the world number three Swiss in Toronto in August but beat him at the US Open in September, earned a ninth straight match win in China as he advanced over Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 6-2, 6-3.
"I felt great on the court today," said US Open finalist Djokovic, who claimed his second Beijing title only days ago.
"Generally it was a great match for me.
"I keep on doing a good job here. I just need to focus on my game. If I play as well as I did these last few days, I think I have a good chance."
Spaniard Garcia-Lopez made his name this autumn as he beat Rafael Nadal in the Bangkok semi-finals a fortnight ago.
Federer was at his ruthless best as he dismantled the big game of Swede Robin Soderling 6-1, 6-1 in just 53 minutes.
The quick victory took his runaway record in the series to 14-1, with his sole loss in last spring`s Roland Garros quarter-finals.
Today`s match was Federer`s most devastating defeat of Soderling, a finalist at the last two French Opens.
At the top of the draw, fourth seed Andy Murray faces a surprise opponent in Juan Monaco after the Argentine beat Jurgen Melzer 6-7 (6-8), 7-5, 6-2 a day after the Austrian had put out world number one Nadal.
Murray turned in another efficient performance against Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who he easily brushed aside 6-2, 6-2.
Murray`s game was looking bleak a week ago in Beijing when he lost in the quarter-finals and remained without a place in next month`s eight-man World Tour Finals in London.
But that problem was solved with Murray`s third-round win on Thursday against another French opponent in Jeremy Chardy, who proved to be just a warm-up for the damage inflicted on Tsonga, the 2008 Australian Open finalist.
"It was nice today, good conditions, there was no wind," said Murray, playing under the open stadium roof after four days of rain.
"The sun had gone as well. Normally, those are the two things that make playing outdoors a little bit trickier.
"I got used to the conditions pretty quickly. It was a little bit different when the roof`s closed, but it didn`t really affect me today."
Murray blasted through in 54 minutes without facing a break point and overcoming the Tsonga serve on four occasions. The Scot finished his rout as the frustrated Frenchman sailed a return long over the baseline.
The result was the seventh loss in eight recent meetings with a top 10 opponent for Tsonga, seeded 12th but struggling with form after returning only last week in Tokyo after a knee problem which kept him off the summer hardcourt circuit.
"I got off to a good start, which is important against him," said Murray, still looking for a second title of 2010 after winning Toronto against Roger Federer. "He`s a really good frontrunner.
"But he struggled a little bit on his serve. He wasn`t serving as big as usual, so I managed to get into a lot of the return games."

High in the sky and with a stroke of a brush, this dragon is creating beautiful artwork.
Mouse + Magpie framed art prints, canvas prints and art prints set the stage for little imaginations to run wild with big, bold colors and textures that establish the room's story and theme.
My daughter's room has white furniture, so we opted for the small white frame. The size is generous and now takes up a place of honor in her well. If you're considering a custom frame, you may want to just buy the print separately, but I am so glad I opted to have the piece framed by the company as it turned out perfect and was well worth the difference in price.

- BYOT-Bring Your Own Technology
BYOT-Bring Your Own Technology
May 2012, by Neal Kelly
At PDMS we have never stopped our staff using the company's computers (originally desktops and now laptops throughout) for personal use.
We're keen for our staff to have a great work/life balance and it's always been seen as counter-productive to stop our staff being able to manage both, during office hours, and make use of the company's assets outside of hours.
We don't block social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. Our staff are our number one asset, and also our number one ambassadors. We encourage them to tell everyone about the work that we're undertaking, the new technologies that we're dealing with, and the new trends within the IT business as a whole.
Many years ago, at a corporate level, we standardised the hardware environments that we provide to our staff. This was very appropriate at the time, with maintainability, security and compatibility being our key requirements. However, now that so many of our line-of-business systems are online, needing little more than a browser to access them, we've started to become less dependent on specific devices. In some areas of the business we've seen that our standardisation itself is counterproductive - why does our Managing Director need a similar if not the same computer as one of our Lead Developers?
Many members of staff have their own personal hardware; computers at home, iPads, tablets, various smartphones, the list is endless. Our staff have consciously decided upon these technologies, and they want to use them to bring themselves closer to their work environment - so why wouldn't we let them. So we've invested in time and technology to allow our staff to use these devices with the online systems and services that we use to run our business.
So you could say we are already some way ahead of a workplace trend which is really gaining traction at the moment - Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT).
BYOT essentially means that staff can chose what hardware they would like to use at work - everything from PCs and laptops to smartphones and tablets. Because they choose it, very often the hardware they choose is based on what they like to use (along with the type of role they have and dependent on the software they use day to day), or have been using outside the office.
Recent surveys show that BYOT is gaining momentum, although different organisations have different attitudes to the benefits and risks it introduces. A survey covering 17 countries by business technology company Avanade found that 88% of executives said employees were using their own personal computing technologies for business purposes. Absolute Software found that 64% of IT managers surveyed thought it was too risky to let personal devices be integrated into the business network. However 52% of companies allowed some form of access. Another survey by Cisco found that although 48% said their company would never authorise employees to bring their own devices, 57% agreed that some employees use personal devices without consent.
As with most technological mind-set changes, BYOT has varying degrees of implementation. Some companies are merely reacting to feedback from staff about the hardware they like to use. Others are allowing staff to buy the technology they use - even though it's purchased by the company it remains the individual's property when they no longer work for the company. There are a range of approaches, each with different benefits and obstacles to the users and the corporate IT department.
Three major areas of consideration that we have had are as follow:
1. Personal devices are getting smarter, why shouldn't we use them at work?
The majority of our staff have devices that are cutting edge, and will outperform the company's corporate personal devices. We've found that members of staff primarily dealing in communications (email, instant messaging, telephone) are relatively easily converted across to the BYOT model. All these services are bundled into the vast majority of modern devices and we can utilise them out of the box. It makes vast amounts of sense to leverage the power and features of these devices.
2. Preparing the core systems.
We needed to make sure that the core applications that staff use are accessible from various devices. This is being achieved by implementation of purely browser based applications, and/or remote connectivity to infrastructure within the company's infrastructural real estate. Once a company has the use of the internet and has invested in browser-based applications that are available online, all the time - the hardware that's used to connect to these applications starts to become irrelevant.
3. Security is paramount, how can we mitigate risk?
Personal devices are able to store and do more with corporate data, but the anti-malware market for personal devices lags behind other hardware. Hacking into personal devices is appealing to hackers, and employees need to understand the security implications of connectivity and the data that is being transferred between devices. We're fortunate to have IT savvy staff, and have also invested in ensuring that our centralised systems are themselves secure.
At PDMS, we are yet to get to the point where staff members are bringing their own workstations into the office. Although in this current wave of change, I can certainly see key members of staff able to work entirely from their own personal devices - I'm not far off myself.

The process to deposit funds into your FXPRIMUS account and withdraw funds from your FXPRIMUS account is quite simple.
If you are residing in Malaysia, the best way to deposit and withdraw your trading funds is by using a facility called Zotapay. It is within the FXPRIMUS trader portal. So, you just need to login into your FXPRIMUS account and search for the Deposit or Withdrawal menu, and Zotapay as your channel of transfer.
Zotapay is a local bank transfer service where money is deposited and withdraw from and to a local bank.
For example, lets just say you want to withdraw your trading funds from FXPRIMUS. Using the Zotapay withdrawal facility within the FXPRIMUS website, you can withdraw to any local bank in Malaysia and receive that money within 24 hours.
The process is simple and easy.
For me personally, this is my favorite choice to deposit and withdraw funds.

Oil Futures Crest $79, Could Ride Past $85 by Year's End
Edging above $79 on the New York Mercantile Exchange and continuing to top its highest point for the year, the price per barrel of crude oil ultimately surpassed last week's record gains during a choppy session of trading Monday. Likewise, natural gas prices bounced back toward a high of $5, closing less than 20 cents below that price.
On the NYMEX today, the price of light, sweet crude oil settled at $79.61, more than $1 higher than Friday's close. November's contract for crude deliveries is set to expire on Tuesday.
Lifted primarily by a drop in the greenback's value, oil futures have rallied more than 19% over the last few weeks, setting new record prices that have surged past the $65-$75 range in which oil prices were boxed for months. Nearing the final quarter of the year, oil prices are now making strides toward an anticipated, new target price range between $85-$90.
"It's been a struggle throughout the day, but late in the session there was some commercial buying coming from somewhere," reflected senior analyst Darin Newsom with DTN, a market information service in Omaha, Nebraska.
"It could be increased gasoline demand, possibly some heating oil demand, whatever the case may be, but there was some supply-and-demand buying coming from somewhere that pushed us back up. So, overall, an impressive day with the late rally, particularly with it looking as if it came from the fundamental side of the market," Newsom said.
Will Oil Prices Push Past $85?
Last week, the equities market was boosted along with riskier markets such as crude oil as the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit above 10000 points. However, analysts continue to point out that oil inventories remain higher than before the recession. Further, the EIA has forecasted that oil demand will wane by 1.7 million barrels a day.
Despite this, crude oil futures rallied last week amid an EIA report showing a substantial drop by some 5 million barrels in gasoline stocks. With both the crude oil and natural gas price rising today, analysts are suggesting prices will continue to spike toward unprecedented highs for the remainder of the year.
"I think it's going to make a run at $90, with a large part of it due to the continued weakness of the U.S. dollar and possible continued rally in the Dow Jones," Newsom predicted.
"If and when either of those two begin to change direction, I think some of the commodities could start to come under pressure. Now crude oil, to its benefit (whether you want to call it that or not), has seen its future spreads really starting to tighten. If we go from a contango into a backwardation situation, then we've got a tighter supply and demand than what has been indicated for quite some time," he explained.
"But I don't think that's going to happen," Newsom added. "I think a lot of this [rally] has to do with the weaker dollar sparking some possible demand, and at some point this month, we should top this market out," the analyst contended.
Natural Gas Rally Keeps Pace
Inching back toward $5, natural gas closed at $4.835 per thousand cubic feet on the NYMEX Monday. "Natural gas like most of the other commodities was able to rally today," Newsom said. "I think it's pulling in money from more of the speculative side of the market. Again, we're not looking at a tight supply-and-demand situation in natural gas," he stressed.
Newsom continued, "For natural gas, I don't think the market's overly worried about the long-term forecast right now calling for the possibility of a cold winter, since those things come and go. I think you've got some short-covering going on in this market, which is helping to provide support," the analyst concluded.

Lilac Loveliness
The French Lilac outside of our kitchen window has been blooming and I just couldn't resist. I had to make some bouquets and bring them into our home. Their beautiful purple color and heady fragrance were calling me. The scent of lilacs takes me back to my childhood. If I close my eyes and take a whiff, I'm a little girl once again at our home out in the country. One sight of lilacs makes me recall my mom as a young woman, busy gathering white and purple lilac bouquets for our house. Her bouquets would be placed in antique pitchers, while mine are in clear canning jars. Mom's would be artfully arranged while mine appear casually plunked. Mom had that special way of making something exquisite out of the ordinary. She had a knack for decorating. She brought beauty to every place she lived. The lovely lilacs are blooming and with them are blooming memories of my lovely mom.

My shows-per-year has dropped off almost as precipitously as my updates to this website. Trust me when I say that I've been hard at work writing new songs and making new recordings. And, when I'm not doing those things, I'm either working, sleeping, or just having way too much fun to be bothered. It's a pretty good situation.
