Following the post-mortem of the second Test match between India and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground the Cricket Statisticians Inc. (CSI) have decided to ring in a few changes to the scorecard. Now instead of just reading out team scores like 209 for 4, we'll be reading out individual scores in that manner. For instance Symonds' innings will go down in record books as 162 for 3, Hussey's as 145 for 2, Tendulkar 154 for one and Ponting 55 for one. This they say is necessary as they think this will be more revealing about the standards of umpiring in the match and would help in making sure the umpires involved are forced to take this to their graves. However, CSI has decided against it having any effects on averages as they feel this will be unfair on the modern day batsmen as the olden generations are likely to go unaffected due to lack of necessary documentation to apply the new rules to them. However, CSI has said that talks are on to try and fit in an additional column "Wickets Denied" to give some of the due credit to the aggrieved bowlers. Also on the anvil is the possibilty of using half an asterix to indicate when a batsman has been ruled out unfairly.
Another report coming in is about how the best of pals in the Indian team and partners in many run chases seem to be not in talking terms after altercations over who would partner Deepika Padukone. Of late both of them don't seem as chirpy on the cricket field seeming to indicate that they would rather focus their energies on settling this off field issue. It has taken on such draconic proportions that both Yuvraj and Dhoni, keen to spend as much time with Deepika are ensuring they don't stay on the crease for too long and give the least bit of advantage to the other. One only hopes that with Indian batting struggling Deepika tells them she'll prefer the one who performs better on the field. That would be the perfect script for the revival of their batting form.

09, all mine.
by emilysaysgo
i don't give my school enough credit.
i like to pretend i'm too cool to have been homeschooled, but i'm not, and i don't want to be. i love the friends i've made, i love my class, i love the fact that homeschoolers are the single nicest group of people you will ever meet (recommended by four out of five waitresses in the greater seattle area!). if it hadn't been for legacy, i wouldn't be who i am and i wouldn't know where i'm going. there have been times when i regretted staying homeschooled, but here, at the end…if i have any regrets, it's not getting to know everyone i could have.
i would like to insert the group picture we took yesterday here, because it's wonderful (everyone is smiling and looking at the camera, and then there i am, front and center, clearly talking- pretty much sums up my years there), but i can't get my scanner to work. i'll put it up when it goes online.
just to warn you all…i'm only going to get sappier from here on out, as i finish up with graduation, in-school recognition stuff, and particularly my end-of-the-year church stuff. stay with me, though. i'll at least try to make it entertaining.

In Randwick, the PIG survives the heat
THIS MORNING, I thought I would go and visit the Permaculture Interpretive Garden (better known by its acronym, the PIG) at the sustainability hub to see what had survived the hot weather and what hadn't.
So along I went, down the path and into the garden. The black bamboo had turned into a few dried sticks but the green bamboo (Bambusa oldhammii) opposite was doing just fine. A couple blueberry bushes were dried and shrivelled and the cherimoya seedling was completely missing. The ice cream bean was quite happy and the lime tree and black sapote seedling similarly so, as was the persimmon. The NZ spinach had suffered though Fiona suggested that could be due to root knot nematodes — this is the dry, sandy soil in which those pestiferous little creatures thrive. The arrowroot had shot up unbelievably since I last saw it and the cosmos likewise. Marigold were not only in flower but were apparently happy with the onslaught of hot weather. The sugarcane appeared unaffected, the sunflower bright, the tansy tall and in bright yellow flower and the herbs happy.
There had been losses — fewer than I expected — but much had done well. During this time — during the hot weather we have experienced since before Xmas — nobody had overhead watered the garden though around 4am twice a week the drip irrigation, buried below the mulch, came on for half an hour. It seems this might benefit some plants but not others, including the seeds of sunflower that had been planted.
I was feeling happy about the condition of the garden — it had not turned into a dry, desertified wasteland populated only by a few heat-adapted succulents like the pigface that grows here and by scaly reptiles — when in the distance I spied what seemed to be a mobile part of the garden. I looked. It was a biped, I realised, definitely in the Homo sapien evolutionary line... and moving purposefully as if interacting with the plants. Spotting a spade being carried in its hand, I could see that it was a tool using species.
"Hey, Russ and Fi", the apparition called as it came over as if was a bit of garden that had somehow got up and walked and talked... and then I realised that this wasn't some bit of ambulant herbage... it was none other than our colleague, Costa Georgiadis.
Costa was in the garden this morning with his production crew shooting Costa with plants and gardeny-stuff for, I think, ABC Organic Gardener magazine or ABC Gardening Australia show. It was good to make contact again and to see that the Permaculture Interpretive Garden — known as the PIG — was being used for purposes we had not imagined... a sign of success.
The PIG is a hybrid, and like botanical hybrids it is starting to display hybrid vigour, the result of mixing species or, in the case of the PIG, landuses. Just as the South American babaco is the natural hybrid of the pawpaw and just as a mermaid is an elusive hybrid of a woman with good swimming ability and a large fish, so the PIG is a landuse hybrid bringing together public park (with edible landscape), a training facility for Randwick Council's courses in composting, Living Smart, Organic Gardening and Forest Gardening, and, as it grows, a small botanic garden of useful species.
The idea of combining landuses like this introduces new thinking to urban planning. It's the sort of innovative design thinking that we need in a city whose population is growing and densifying. More people bring competing demands for the use of limited public open space such as city parks, which makes design for multi-purpose a sensible approach to urban landuse. It's in this way that the Permaculture Interpretive Garden, as a city park with an edible landscape including a still-in-seedling-stage food forest garden, is a rapid prototype of a good idea.
It was a very warm morning that day we went along to check out the garden survivors of our recent hot spell. It was good to talk to that mobile part of the garden, Costa Georgiadis, again and to see him and his crew at work among the herbs and the arrowroot. I noticed that, like the plants, he too was feeling the heat.
The PIG is an evolving garden agriculture growing as best it can in our Eastern Suburbs sandy soil, a soil that water drains through rapidly, taking the nutrients with it, a soil that can dry our rapidly after rain.
If you want to learn a little gardening-by-doing, or build on your knowledge gained though council's free Organic Gardening or Living Smart courses, there's the opportunity for you to do so by becoming a voluntary gardener at the PIG. You can find out more from: [email protected]

How to have a more abundant life
We were all born into this world, took our first breath, and begin our journey upon this pathway called "Life." This pathway confronts a traveler (and we all are travelers) with hills and valleys, and smooth places at periods of time, and rough places at bad times. It does not matter, whether or not one is a male or female, young or old. It matters not if one is Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Shinto, Hundu, or follow any other spiritual "Ways," there are certain critical factors that we all must attend to in order to have a more abundant life.
There are those who follow the teachings of Jesus (they profess their belief in Christianity), and they try to adhere to the ways of Jesus, attempting to walk upon the pathway that he walked upon. Most of Jesus' followers (and I do not say this with reservation) lose their way, not understanding his instruction or ways. St. John 10:10 (a King James rendition) reads, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. It sounds like Jesus is saying that he wants his followers to have a more abundant life. Yet we see many of his followers teaching in such a way as to bring a more abundant life unto themselves rather than to others.
This discourse is not meant to give you all the information that I believe will bring you a more abundant life. There is not enough space and time in this short session to do a more complete job of teaching the concept of "how to have a more abundant life." I do want to teach you, and others who want to know more of my thoughts about it, however.
Consider the following:
1. When you eat, eat well, eat enough, but not too much. But what is eating well and what is enough?
2. When you sleep, sleep well, sleep enough, and treasure the value of sleep for the living of a more abundant life. But what is sleeping well and how much sleep is enough?
3. Pamper your very own immune system, caring for it well, with the knowledge that it exists to help protect you from immunogens, pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, and wild cells (such as cancers). What is your immune system and how does it work to protect you?
I have attempted to share with you a picture of an old woman, she is older that one hundred years, and she has lived a more abundant life. Her picture is not for sale. Her picture is only being shared with you in this discourse to help you see that there are those who have live a more abundant life. Consider this, I am willing to write more on this topic from a position in life that only I can write from. I have lived and worked on all the continents of the world and with many of the worlds people in various roles such as healer, teacher, and Nature farmed foods provider. I write only because I try to help and teach people through my writings. I can touch more people through my writings that by talking to people one-on-one. Time is short and there is not enough time for me to help one person at a time (even though I do some one on one work as I can).
I hope that you enjoy reading my work, and Peace be with you.

From the head of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission and noted professor of law and history at the University of Pennsylvania, a groundbreaking book that examines both civil and criminal court cases from the Civil War to the present, to reveal the impact of stereotyping--race, class, gender--on the American legal system. The question Mary Frances Berry asks: Whose story most strongly influences the making of legal decisions in the American justice system? Using previously unexamined material from state appellate civil and criminal court cases--cases of rape, seduction, and paternity disputes, and cases dealing with murder, inheritance, and property disputes in which sexual relations are at the heart of the story--Berry takes us through two centuries of American case law to show how attitudes toward gender, race, class, and sexuality have materially affected, and continue to affect, judicial decision-making. Among the many cases Berry discusses: Alabama, 1867--A white woman sues her husband for divorce in both the lower and state supreme courts because of his sexual relationship with a former slave, and is denied her petition on the basis that a sexual relationship between a white man and a black woman is "of no consequence." New York, 1932--In a surprising victory, the longtime mistress of a theater owner successfully contests her lover's will and proves her right to inherit a wife's portion of the estate. Texas, 1984--A suit by a woman against her female lover ends in a decision that allows the court to avoid acknowledging the existence of a lesbian relationship. And, in the 1990s, we see the cases of William Kennedy Smith, Mike Tyson, and O. J. Simpson in a new context. Moving stories, shocking stories, ironic stories, tragic stories--a book that fascinates in terms of its human drama, by its demonstration of the ways in which prejudice affects justice, and by its account of how the law has evolved (or hasn't) as our racial, social, and sexual attitudes have changed.

Publisher's Weekly Review
Aiming to show just how unblind justice has been and continues to be in America, Berry (Black Resistance/White Law, etc.) examines civil and criminal court cases "that deal with the intersection of race, class, and gender." A former assistant secretary of education (under Jimmy Carter) and appointed in 1993 by Congress to chair the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, Berry is no legal radical. Still, she issues an unapologetic call to arms: "only to the extent we mount and sustain reform movements can we change the law." Turning to the past, she shows how 19th-century law drew on "scientific racism... to reinforce racism and gender bias." In rape cases, writes Berry, "race, gender, and class affected courts' understanding of the status of rape victims and the accused and affected their decisions." Berry points to America's legacy of race lynching, arguing that black men were lynched not because they had raped white women but because they "challenged white male privilege." The title refers to a case in which a German immigrant farmer's daughter unsuccessfully accused of rape a mulatto supported by well-to-do white patronsÄa case Berry archly compares to the outcome of the Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas debacle (which, she writes, "was not about two African Americans [but] really about the white male privilege to devalue her, and to elevate him"). With clarity and leavening flashes of wit, Berry revealingly reviews bias in the court and the rationalizations employed to uphold it. (Apr.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
Library Journal Review
In eight original essays, the head of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission offers engaging and elucidating legal analysis, social commentary, and historical perspective on the law controlling sexual choices. Asking what stories and whose stories have counted in U.S. courts on such issues as abortion, homosexuality, incest, prostitution, and rape, Berry incisively probes the law as a social construct of personal beliefs and formal rules. The controlling narratives, argues this historian and lawyer, have been ones of class and racial paternalism. Legal reform has shifted narrative themes and values but not yet removed the traditional basis of heterosexual white male freedom that has subjugated all else. This is essential reading for any serious student of race, gender roles and relations, or U.S. history, law, or society. Highly recommended.ÄThomas J.

Choice Review
As a well-respected professor of law and history at the University of Pennsylvania and the head of the US Civil Rights Commission, Berry is well qualified to prepare this collection of episodes of racism and sexism in American courts. After an introduction that places the issues into historical and cultural context, the remainder of the book offers a collection of eight legal/historical studies of American case law that reveal how public attitudes about sexuality, gender, race, and social class have impacted the decision-making practices of the nation's jurists. As source material the author uses both existing records and some previously unexamined material from state appellate, civil, and criminal records. Some of the case studies that cover a period of two centuries include topics such as homosexuality, child support, rape, inheritance, and property disputes. The text is well documented, and the clear writing style makes it accessible to a general audience as well as to undergraduate students. R. A. Carp; University of Houston
ExcerptsEvery legal consideration of sexuality is influenced by stories of race, gender, and class. Judicial decisions concerning heterosexual fornication, sex outside of marriage, have depended on several interacting stories. They tell of the licentiousness of African Americans, the purity of white women, the toleration of a husband's sex with African American women, and the power of white men to exercise control over their own sexuality and that of African Americans and white women. This interplay of stories was clearly displayed in the case of a white Alabama husband, Matthew Turner. Despite the economic hard times brought on by war and the abolition of slavery, Turner's estate was worth nearly $400,000 in 1867. His wife of fourteen years, Ann G. Turner, had brought little capital into the marriage except for her excellent reputation. Everyone agreed, she was "a chaste, . . . useful and obedient wife." One Sunday evening in 1867, Mrs. Turner went to visit a near neighbor. When she returned, "probably sooner than her husband expected," she found him "in adulterous association with . . . Sally, his former slave" in their bedroom. Mrs. Turner forgave her husband, but he kept Sally working at the house despite Mrs. Turner's "request to have her removed." Supported by the authority of her master, Sally became "insolent" to Mrs. Turner, who chastised her. Thereupon, Mr. Turner "upbraided his wife" and "forbade her to correct Sally in the future." Mrs. Turner replied that if Sally remained in the household, she, Mrs. Turner, would punish her for any insolent behavior. Matthew Turner's infidelity, Ann Turner's jealousy, and Sally's defiance created a drama of race, class, and gender dynamics that was played out in the courtroom. Turner, outraged at his wife's threat to disrupt his sexual access to Sally, "threatened to whip" her. He had Sally "go out and get switches for that purpose." He was a reputed wife batterer, but he did not actually strike Ann Turner on this occasion; instead, he made her "stand on the floor before him and his paramour, the colored woman Sally, and cower under the switches, which the latter had brought for the chastisement of her, the mistress!" Mrs. Turner now filed for divorce, on the grounds of adultery, cruelty, and abandonment. Turner admitted having sex with Sally but insisted, despite voluminous testimony sustaining his wife's story, that Mrs. Turner condoned it. A lower court refused to grant Mrs. Turner alimony or even a divorce. The Alabama Supreme Court overturned the lower court's decision. Meanwhile, Turner went to Indiana, at the time a haven for easy divorce, and sued successfully to dissolve the marriage. To insure the payment of alimony, the Alabama court enjoined the couple's son, who sided with his father, from removing Turner's assets from the state and established a lien on the property. The Alabama judges drew upon a number of narratives as they implemented the formal legal rules that outlawed fornication. One narrative viewed sex between a white man and a black woman as of no consequence--indeed, as the continuation of an old practice condoned under slavery. A second story, that well may have influenced the judges, told of the chaste white woman, pure, faithful, and frail, in need of her husband's protection. White Madonna and black Venus mirrored one another in white men's sexual fantasies. Familiar with such stories, the Alabama judges saw no need to challenge Turner's concubinage with Sally. They did, however, challenge his treatment of Mrs. Turner. She won her case because Mr. Turner deviated from the well-accepted story that gentlemen protected the honor of their families by treating their wives with respect and shielding them from knowledge of their extramarital, cross-racial affairs. Turner insisted on more than his wife's tolerance of his concubine. He demanded her acknowledgment of the situation--and more, her submission to Sally. He let his sexual passions turn the South's system of race privileges upside down. By repeatedly humiliating his wife in the presence of his black concubine, Turner had inverted well-established social and racial norms. He had crossed the line between acceptable and transgressive behavior. Having violated the script of Southern chivalry, he was duly rebuked by the court. The legal treatment of heterosexual fornication depended on the intersection of stories of gender, race, and class in the shaping of sexual behavior. Such narratives, fusing sexual myths and fantasies, floated forward in time on a sea of assumptions that incorporated stories from slave pens in Africa, from the Middle Passage, slavery, emancipation, and the days of Jim Crow until they resurfaced in modern discussions of unwed pregnancy and family values, best encapsulated in the 1965 Moynihan Report. The rationale of African racial inferiority as a basis for disparate treatment has persisted from the colonial period to today. By the late eighteenth century, distinctions of race and sexuality were firmly entrenched. In his Notes on the State of Virginia (1781), Thomas Jefferson recapitulated the reigning narrative concerning the subhuman character of African Americans. Jefferson, a slaveholder, had an intimate basis for his conclusions. African Americans, he claimed, exhibited lower-order animal traits, with little intellectual capacity and a strong desire for sexual satisfaction. Their childish emotionality made them more concerned with "sensation than [with] reflection." For "love seems with them to be more an eager desire, than a tender delicate mixture of sentiment and sensation." His unsubstantiated conclusions accurately reflected the dominant story of African American sexuality. In the new American republic, stories filled with sexual imagery reinforced the subordination of women and African American men to the domination of propertied white males. In the 1800s, white middle-class women became defined as passionless creatures rather than as incarnations of Eve the temptress. Allowing themselves sexual license, white men defined respectable white women as the carriers of family virtue. The men feared, however, that white women regarded black men as their binary opposites, sweet but forbidden fruit. Therefore, they especially emphasized the sexual threat posed by African American males, and the need to control them. In keeping with their own desires, white men portrayed working-class white women as but one step removed from African women, that is, as sexually passionate and available. Working-class white women became increasingly vulnerable to male abuse. Black women, represented as excessively passionate enticers and seducers of white men and "oversexed black men," remained available and therefore "unrapable." The persistent interest in black male sexuality gained expression in the 1781 observations of a Pennsylvania military officer in Virginia concerning young black boys waiting on table, their "whole nakedness" exposed. The officer thought "it would Surprize a person to see . . . how well they are hung." The way white masters presented African Americans in public and the limited control slaves had over the way they appeared embellished the stories. Black bodies signaled black subordination. White men displayed black women on the auction block, their bodies exposed, their flesh handled as beasts were handled. Black female slaves working in the fields, bodies visible through worn and tattered clothes, confirmed white portrayals of black women's lasciviousness. The African American male often appeared in a similar posture, physically exposed, represented as a stud on the auction block. The willingness of some white women to consort with black men was shocking to white sensibilities--but not unknown. A Virginia woman in 1815 refused to apologize for giving birth to a mulatto, saying that "she had not been the first nor would she be the last guilty of such conduct, and that she saw no more harm in a white woman's having been the mother of a black child than in a white man's having one, though the latter was more frequent." The 1830 U.S. census for Nansemond County, Virginia, reported eight white "wives" of free "Negroes." The antebellum North Carolina court chose with difficulty from among narratives of race and gender when two white men sought to divorce their wives because each gave birth to mulatto children shortly after their marriages. Both husbands had apparently had premarital sex with their wives. In 1832, North Carolina Chief Justice Thomas Ruffin denied the husband in one of those cases a divorce. He explained that persons who marry agree to take each other as they are. Nothing would be more dangerous than to sever marriage vows because of spousal disagreements or fights. Ruffin acknowledged that his decision for the wife collided with societal feeling against the acknowledgment of interracial relationships, which made "contempt for the husband so marked and unextinguishable." The stigma was so indelible that he had "not been able, without a struggle," to reach a conclusion. However, Ruffin explained, the circumstances made his decision easier. The couple married in December and the infant was born in May. Ruffin thought the husband must have known his wife was pregnant and had therefore had sex with her. His complaint, then, was not her pregnancy but the fact that the child was not white. By knowingly marrying a lewd woman, he became an accessory to his own "dishonor." He wanted a divorce because her "infamy" had become "notorious, though he could reconcile himself in secret to the crime which makes her infamous." Finding refuge in a biblical story, Ruffin explained that since the days of Solomon, "he who marries a wanton, knowing her true character, submits himself to the lowest degradation." The court decision brought a storm of public protest. Thereafter, in the second divorce case, Ruffin aligned himself with white male power: it was unspeakable to expect a white man to keep a wife who bore a mulatto child. Concluding that the wife had engaged in nuptial fraud, he refused to deny the divorce. The outcome became a cautionary tale to warn white women against crossing sexual and racial boundaries. Stories of differential punishment based on race transformed perceptions and thus reconstituted reality. Characterizing sexual relations between white women and African American men as unnatural and therefore taboo, and ignoring sexual relations between white men and African American women, taxed reason though not custom: the visible fruit of interracial sex abounded. The 1850 U.S. Census included a multiracial category for the first time; it found 406,000 mulattoes, 11 percent of the country's 3,639,000 African Americans. By 1860, about 50 percent of the nonwhite population in New Orleans, Baltimore, and St. Louis consisted of mulattoes. While some mulattoes had mulatto parents, interracial contacts constituted a central part of their lineage. Interracial sex, though formally forbidden, was a story everyone knew. Mary Chestnut described households in which husbands abided by convention while fornicating with slave women: "Like the patriarchs of old, our men live all in one house with their wives and concubines; and the mulattoes one sees in every family partly resemble the white children. Any lady is ready to tell you who is the father of all the mulatto children in everybody's household but her own. Those, she seems to think, drop from the clouds."

The first reaction that we get when we show newcomers to Google Analytics exactly what information it provides is often one of sheer amazement. When people get over the initial surprise and, particularly when they try and use the tool themselves, the first questions are "What should we look at?" and "What does it mean?"
Gareth Edwards, eMarketing specialist at the National B2B Centre, provide a quick overview of what he looks at first when using Analytics and what you can use the information for.
Google Analytics is a very powerful tool to measuring website performance and understanding what people are doing on your website (or your blog). For those of you using it for the first time the amount of information it provides and the different measures it gives can be a bit overwhelming. The good thing is that you can get a pretty good feel for what's going on by looking at just a small number of items.
This article is intended to highlight just some of the valuable information that Analytics provides based on how I use the tool when working on client projects. Some people may query my choices and omissions but the essential thing is that you start using Analytics and find out how easy it is and how essential.
Getting Started
If you haven't already got Google Analytics then the help facilities are very good at explaining how to install it (it's free by the way). If you don't feel confident about putting it on your website then ask your website developer to help. The code has to go on every page of the website and be tested so don't expect it to be done for free. The task isn't particularly difficult though (and it is made much easier if you have a template page) so don't pay too much.
To get to Google Analytics sign into Google (look for the "sign in" link at the top right of the Google home page) then select "My Account" link from the top left of the screen. If "My Account" isn't displayed then look out for a "Settings" drop down on the top right of the Google home page. The drop down menu should show a link for "Google Account setting" which you should click.
Google Analytics should be listed as one your Google products. If you select the Analytics link the next screen will be an overview of all your available accounts – just the one at the moment with a bit of luck. Selecting the account will bring up a dashboard view (see below – the NB2BC website).
What First
So what do you look at first. Well the big graph dominating your screen is a good place to start. It gives you a view of the number and distribution of visitors to your site over a month period. Most of you will see a series of peaks and troughs where the dips correspond to weekends. If there any particular peaks then this may show you the impact of an email campaign or the publication of a blog that contains links to your site. On the graph shown the peak is when the B2B Centre newsletter was published.
Underneath the graph are a series of high level performance metrics. Most of them are self-explanatory but you might not understand the term "bounce rate". This refers to the number of time people have visited a page on your site and then immediately clicked of the page and left your site. The bounce rate you see on the dashboard is an average for the whole site so you stay calm even if it looks quite high. As a rule of thumb anything up to 55% is probably OK. Bounce rate is a more useful indicator when you look at specific content – see the section below.
You can change the data that is displayed if you wish (see "Change the Graph" on the illustration) but perhaps for your initial experience with Google Analytics the most interesting thing to do is look at date ranges. If you click the arrow next to the existing date range (see "Change the Date Range" on the illustration) you will see a 2 month calendar appear, 2 sets of date ranges (in US date format) and a check box that says "Compare to Past". For the time being stick to ticking the check box because that will automatically display all statistics on a "this month against last month" comparison. This compares will be become the default for all views and reports until you change it.
This capability is very important because it allows you to track the performance of your site over time and compare the effectiveness of different activities too.
We often get asked what the rate levels are for the various statistics in Google Analytics . The amount of traffic you get and the routes that visitors use to get to your site are extremely dependent on how your site has been optimised, the rest of your eMarketing activity, the activity of competitors and how big the market is for what you do. My view is that Analytics is often best used to monitor changes rather than give answers about absolutes. If you make changes to a web page to optimise for a keyword or improve its usability
The "Visitors" option looks very inviting because it holds out the promise of providing a big list of names of people who have come to your site. Although there are some very interesting reports here sadly you don't get names and addresses. The next time we look at Analytics we'll come back to "Visitors", but for your initial trips to Analytics therefore try checking out the difference between the numbers of visits and the number of absolute unique visitors on the "Visitors Overview" page. You want repeat visitors of course but if you have just conducted a big campaign to attract new clients then a big gap between the numbers might suggest a problem.
If you are operating nationally or internationally then check out the Map Overlay. You can click on areas of the map to get statistics about where visitors are located. If you click on the UK then a more detailed map will appear along with a set of stats underneath. This is interesting stuff but because of the way the internet works the information isn't completely accurate. So don't base your marketing plan on it.
Traffic Sources
Direct Traffic
This shows visits to the site where visitors have typed the URL directly into the web browser. On very new sites this might indicate that you are the only person using the site! For some clients a high proportion of direct traffic (say greater than 15% of the total) is indicative that they have managed to establish themselves as a brand or that offline marketing has worked very well (so that people have remembered the website address).
Referring Sites
This is where Analytics becomes really helpful, really quickly. Select the referring sites link and you see a report showing you a list of sites (including social media sites and directories) where visitors found a link to your site and clicked it. If you have paid for directory entries such as Yell or Applegate then you can immediately find out what traffic they have generated for you. We have had clients who have negotiated better terms for their directory entries by highlighting the difference between activity on the directory site itself and visits to their website.
For the B2B Centre we have been able to monitor the effectiveness of our Social Media use because we can see how many people have clicked through from LinkedIn, Twitter and our blog.
The keywords report may be the single most important set of stats in Analytics for many users. Essentially this is a list of the words and phrases people have searched on and found your website with. It is very good for checking if your search engine optimisation efforts are working and it will also provide some ideas for further SEO.
It can be useful to use the date range function to check the keywords over say 6 or 12 months (if you have had Analytics installed that long). This will give you more insight into the search term variations that people are using to find you. So for instance you might find location base variations like "kitchen cabinets Coventry", "kitchen cabinets Warwickshire" or "kitchen cabinets West Midlands". Taking a longer view also removes the bias that many people have when they look at the monthly view stats – 5 hits from a keyword in a month doesn't appear to be significant but 60 over the year "seems" to be better.
Sometimes it is worth doing some research into a relevant keyword that has only generated a few website visits. With one client we did a search on one of these words and found that his website didn't appear until page 3 of the Google search results. So visitors using this keyword had made a real effort to get to his website. It could be that by optimising for the keyword then not only would the hardy souls get to the site more quickly but other people would get there too because the page would be higher up the rankings and easier to get to.
The initial content dashboard is not particularly helpful so I tend to look at 3 of the more specific reports; Top Content, Top Landing Pages and Site Overlay.
Top Content
This view lists out the pages in your website in descending order by number of page views: fundamentally you can now see what your most popular website pages are. Your home page (which you might see listed as "/home", "/index" or just"/") is likely to be the most viewed page by a long way. The position of other pages in the list depends on the type of site (e.g. eCommerce or informational) and factors such as the numbers of pages and how long the site has been going.
Increasing the number of rows displayed on the view (by selecting the appropriate number in the "Show rows" drop down at the bottom of the page) can make the report easier to use. You can also use the Filter Page function at the bottom of the page to display pages containing (or excluding) particular words (e.g. articles).
Most of the statistics displayed are self-explanatory. I usually scan the Average Time on the Page numbers to look for pages that have had a substantially amount of time spent on them (was the article that good?).
Top Landing Pages
The Landing Pages report displays pages in descending order of entrances to the site. So these are the webpages that visitors reached first after clicking on a link in a search engine results page, a directory or social media site.
Bounce rate becomes particularly relevant because you can see which specific pages are performing badly in this respect (say 70% – 100%) and do something about it.
Remember that you change the order of the report by clicking on any of the column headings. This means that you can display the results in descending order of Bounce rate and see the worst performing pages on the top of the report.
Let's try something a little more sophisticated now. Choose a page that you want to find more about and click on its name in the list. You will now get a dashboard view specifically about that page. There is lots of information to explore but for this time around click on the Analyze drop down and select "Entrance keywords".
You will now see a report that shows all of the keywords that have been used to navigate to this page when it has been the first page reached by a visitor. This can sometimes help solve the high bounce rate issue because you may find that the keywords listed are not appropriate to the page. You can then look at the optimisation for the page to work out why it has attracted inappropriate traffic and make changes if necessary.
Site Overlay
Now prepare to be amazed.
When you click on the Site Overlay option a new window will open in your browser displaying what at first looks like the homepage of your website. After a few seconds you should see the page change and you will notice a series of boxes and numbers appearing wherever there are links (e.g. in the navigation menus and text links in the website copy). What is being displayed is the percentage of clicks that a particular set of links has had from the total clicks on links to other pages on your website (or other sites). So if you have several links to the Contact page then the click information is the total of all clicks to that page.
It can be a helpful tool in trying to organise the position of menu items, clickable graphics and text links to ensure that visitors can most easily navigate to place on the site that you want them to go to and which they want to find.
It is a good idea to remember to click the "Close" button on the top right of this view to avoid browsing problems
This was meant to be a quick introduction. Because there is so much information in Analytics it is quite difficult to draw the boundaries between need to know and interesting to know. Analytics is a reporting tool so once you have a bit of confidence in using it then just experiment. Google's help pages are pretty good and a general search on the internet will through up answers to many problems.

Baguettes & Bagels - Cathays' local luxury
Lunchtime is an important time of the day, it's the perfect time to unwind and relax before tackling the challenges the afternoon brings. For many, meals at lunchtime may include baguettes, sandwiches, pasta dishes or salads and many choose to buy pre-prepared to save time in their busy schedule.
Thankfully, Cathays is full of lovely little local shops that sell baguettes, sandwiches and more. Today, we're looking at Baguettes and Bagels on Miskin Street. Situated in the heart of Cathays, it offers handmade baguettes and bagels with gorgeous freshly made fillings. What's more, you can get these hunger quenching meals for a very reasonable price!
Here at Capital Properties we had the privilege of sitting down with owner Margaret Murphy who spoke in more detail about the business and its history.
The business was originally set up on Salisbury Road in 1994 when the owners realised that there wasn't a place people could buy fresh bread without having to walk quite a distance. At the time the store was the first sandwich bar in Cathays! The shop on Salisbury Road eventually closed and they moved to their current address on the corner of Miskin St and Senghennydd Road.
Margaret said:
"We are extremely proud that the business has been going for 20 years, it's quite an achievement for an independent business. We've grown considerably and so has our audience, while students make up the majority of our customers we've also got a range of taxi drivers, business owners and university staff that regularly visit".
Baguettes & Bagels have also served a number of famous customers over the years, these include the likes of Donna Air and Jo Brand. Margaret also informed us that they've delivered bread and baguettes to the English football legend Gary Lineker!
Baguettes and Bagels is situated at 158 Miskin St, Cardiff, right in the heart of Cathays, or 'studentville' as it's more commonly known. Its location means it's a great place for students studying at Cardiff University as the Student Union is just a short walk away. Opposite the shop is the Cardiff Business Technology Centre which is always full of hungry mouths every lunchtime!
As the title suggests, the shop sells a range of handmade baguettes and bagels, along with a selection of bottled drinks and crisps. The best part of handmade baguettes is choosing the fillings, and there are plenty available here. Including tandoori chicken, bacon, tuna, a range of cheeses and this writer's personal favourite – chicken tikka! All are freshly prepared and taste delicious.
The store's most popular fillings are chicken & bacon and students are also particularly fond of the bread pudding available. Speaking about the range of fillings Margaret said:
"We get a lot of people wanting different things in their sandwiches, some people don't like tomatoes and some don't like cheese, that's why we offer such a range. Our most popular is the chicken and bacon filling. Personally I enjoy mustard, ham and smoked cheese. However, I'm also accustomed to smoked cheese and roasted vegetables".
Prices and opening hours
Like most individual stores that sell baguettes, bagels and sandwiches the prices are slightly more expensive than if you bought a similar product in Tesco or Asda. However, the quality of food on offer here is much better. A meal deal costs around £4 with a bottled drink and crisps, whereas individual baguettes and bagels cost between £1.50 and £2.50 depending on your size and filling. A small price to pay for such luxury!
The store currently opens 9am – 4pm Monday to Friday and 10am – 2pm on Saturdays during term dates. They don't currently have a card machine so remember to get cash out before visiting, however they are planning on introducing card payments before the end of the year. They also offer a range of seasonal special offers, so check back throughout the year for the best deals.
It's important to remember that Baguettes and Bagels isn't a coffee shop or a restaurant so it's not a place you can go for a few hours to unwind. However the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming and there are also a couple of seats and tables outside, as well as small park just across the road so you can enjoy the sun (when it's available). It's location within Cathays means it's a great place for students to meet up, grab some lunch and then head off to lectures, shopping in the centre of Cardiff or back to their student accommodation.
A final word from Margaret
We've spoken a lot about the range of food on offer as well as the high quality of service you can expect to receive, but Margaret summed up everything perfectly when she said:
"Our motto is, we wouldn't serve anything to customers that we wouldn't eat ourselves! That's why all our bread is freshly baked in store and why all the meat we use is 100% meat. If you want a nice, fresh, individual baguette with your choice of filling at a reasonable price, then Baguettes and Bagels is for you".
Baguettes and Bagels is a lovely baguette shop and one of the best places in Cathays to grab lunch. The food is freshly prepared and tastes so much better than store bought products. The staff are very welcoming and its location in the heart of Cathays makes it a perfect place for students to grab lunch before continuing on their travels.

Essential Considerations For The Mining Industry
It is undeniable that the mining industry has a significant part in our economy. The processing of natural resources including coal and gold is done by this industry. On the other flip side, we did not consider the possible risk that we provide to our nature. Besides, at present, there is difficulty experienced by mining companies regarding the concerns raised by several individuals from different parts of the world with regards to their being unethical. However, the word 'ethical' is apparently not properly defined by many individuals. A lot of mining companies have been claiming about their concern towards our planet and their employees but then, they seem not to be successful about this matter.
The primary concern that has to be raised today is the chance for the mining companies to be ethical? Can they still bring back the trust that we have lost? Do they have the chance of running a profitable business these days? Here are some of the tips to be taken into account by modern mining companies in order to adhere with the ethics.
Building a good relationship between the company and the communities is the primary important factor to be considered. When it comes to this relationship, it is essential to be direct in which, the company provides money to the residents so as for them not to raise an issue. This is the simplest rule that is being adhered since then. On the other hand, there are changes as well that can be observed with the process of building a good relationship with the community in order for them not to find any issue about the mining companies. For the mining companies to have a strong rapport with the people, there is a need to exert more effort.
Aside from that, you don't ignore the environmental concerns. We can't deny the fact that it is the major concern of mining companies today the impact of the procedure in our environment. There are toxics and enormous pollution that can be contributed by the mining procedure done on the natural resources. Therefore, mining companies need to acknowledge their impact on the environment. One of the great ways to regain the respect of the community is to adhere with cleaner method.
We all know that mining jobs are no joke. There is a certain risk of death when going for this kind of job. Thus, mining companies need to address these labor issues as well. There is a need for the mining companies to make sure that their practices are safety-conscious so as to have the guarantee about the security of their employee.

Too little or too much weight has negative impacts on your health. While most people struggle with obesity, many people are underweight, too.
To determine your ideal weight, you can use this BMI calculator.
Being underweight can be due to excessive physical activity, skipping meals, too much fasting, emotional stress, genetic factors, lack of sleep, a weak digestive system, and some diseases like cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes, hormonal imbalances, hyperthyroidism or anorexia.
It's important to take steps to increase your body weight. Being underweight can lead to bone loss, heart problems, infertility, anemia, a weak immune system and frequent illness.
Proper diet and exercise can help you gain weight. Instead of taking medicines and supplements, you can opt for some simple home remedies to help you gain weight and move the scale toward your optimum level.
Here are the top 10 home remedies to aid weight gain.
- Figs
Figs are mainly made of polyunsaturated fats, which add healthy calories to your diet. Also, figs contain a good amount of carbohydrates that will help you gain weight.
- Soak five to six dried figs in water overnight. The next day, eat them in two parts during the day. Do this daily for about a month.
- Alternatively, soak two dried figs overnight in milk and eat it before breakfast. Follow this routine for two months.
- Raisins
Raisins are rich in essential fatty acids that help with weight gain. Plus, raisins provide important nutrients to the body.
- Eat about one-fifth cup of dried raisins throughout the day for about a month. This is one of the easiest ways to gain weight.
- Alternatively, soak one-fifth cup of raisins and five to six dried figs in water overnight. The following day, eat them in two parts. Follow this routine for about a month.
- Clarified Butter
Clarified butter is an excellent source of saturated fat and calories, hence it can increase your body weight. Plus, clarified butter helps your body absorb more vitamins and minerals that help lubricate stiff joints and give your skin a healthy glow.
- Mix one tablespoon of clarified butter with one tablespoon of sugar.
- Eat this mixture twice daily, at least 30 minutes before eating your lunch and dinner.
- Follow this routine for a month.
- Mangoes
Mangoes are a delicious, juicy fruit that are rich in minerals and vitamins, and free of sodium, cholesterol and fat. The body stores the fructose from the mango as energy and fat, thus helping you put on weight. But eating mangoes alone will not aid weight gain. You need to eat them along with milk.
- Simply drink a mango milkshake twice daily for a month.
- Alternatively, eat one ripe mango followed by a glass of milk. Do this two or three times a day for a month.
- Potatoes
Potatoes are a rich source of carbohydrates and complex sugars. So, including more potatoes in your diet will ensure weight gain.
- Eat one serving of grilled or baked potato daily for one or two months.
- You can also prepare potato chips at home in a healthy oil like olive oil and have them just twice a week for one or two months.
- Eggs
Eggs contain a good amount of calories, fat and protein and are a popular food among people who wish to increase their weight. The protein in eggs give the body building blocks for muscles, while the fat provides energy. For best results, eat more of the egg white than the egg yolk.
Simply eat the white part of about three or four eggs daily. You can eat egg-white omelets or scrambled egg whites for breakfast daily for at least one month.
Note: Do not eat raw eggs, which can cause serious health problems.
- Bananas
Bananas have a good amount of calories that will give you an instant energy lift and help you gain weight.
- Eat one to two ripe bananas for breakfast.
- Then drink a glass of warm milk, mixed with a little sugar and one teaspoon of clarified butter.
- Follow this breakfast routine for a month.
- Almonds
Almonds are rich in polyunsaturated fats, which add healthy calories to your diet.
- Add three almonds, two dates and one dried fig to a glass of milk and boil it.
- Allow it to cool and then strain the milk.
- Drink the warm milk and eat the boiled almonds, figs and dates.
- Do this daily for one or two months.
- Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is an excellent choice for gaining weight because it is high in calories and carbohydrates. You can add peanut butter to many foods to add more calories to your diet.
- You can spread a spoonful of peanut butter on fruits or vegetables.
- You can add it to your milkshake or smoothie.
- You can spread peanut butter on a slice of whole wheat bread.
- Beans
Beans are one of the best calorie-dense foods to help with weight gain. Plus, beans are high in protein, carbohydrates and fiber. Beans can be eaten any time of the day – breakfast, lunch, dinner and even as a snack.
For weight gain, you can eat a variety of beans like black beans, red beans, lima beans, soy beans, lentils, and kidney beans. Prepare bean soup or bean salad and have them fresh daily for one or two months.
Try some of these home remedies until you reach your desired weight. In addition, you need to follow a proper exercise routine. You can consult a trainer to find out what type of exercise promotes increased body weight.

Time: Use It While You've Got It
Contributed by Johnny Knight on Jan 28, 2010 (message contributor)
Summary: Is there a relationship in your life that needs some attention? Jesus says to get to that first.
Time: Use It While You've Got It!
Text: Matthew 5:23
Some men have the genetic problem of hair loss. Basically, having a hard time holding onto their hair. Some have suggested that the hair is merely being pushed out by the rapidly expanding intelligence and that sounds very scientifically credible to those with the problem. Like that man who lost all his hair in a very short time, well, almost all of it. He had that one hair that didn't fall out. And did he take care of that one hair! He made sure it was shampooed, and rinsed, moussed, and razor cut, and styled, until that awful morning he woke up and found that hair on his pillow. A shriek went through the house and he screamed at the top of his lungs, "Oh no! I'm bald!"
He didn't wake up to what was going on until there was nothing left! That's the very mistake you might be making right now in one of your important relationships.
Matthew 5:23 "If you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift."
Jesus is saying, "If you've got a breaking or broken relationship, drop everything and get to fixing it immediately, you don't have anything more important to do. You say, "Wouldn't it make more sense to finish this worship service first?" He said, "No, first, go and be reconciled before:
-you do any more work,
-any more worship,
-any more study,
-any more anything.
The problem is that we let walls and resentments grow, and like the man who was the last one to call himself bald, we wait until the relationship is gone before we face it.
It could be that somewhere in your life right now there is a hurting relationship. There is someone hurting, maybe someone you've wounded or insulted or neglected or ignored. Maybe there's a husband or wife, a son or daughter or maybe another loved one who is suddenly crying, "I need you, and you're not here." Don't wait to act - don't wait to notice until it's too late.
I heard a story about a man waited for the emergency room. That's where they were fighting to save the life of his teenage daughter who had just attempted suicide. Thankfully, the girl survived. And the man finally faced the issues that were slowly destroying his little girl. He said, "I'm so sorry for the ways I've treated you and the affection I haven't given you. I've been copying the way my father treated me and I know you have needed a different kind of father. Please forgive me."
She was almost gone before he could say he was sorry. Don't wait for the emergency room. By the way, that night was a turning point to a new and closer relationship.
Is there a relationship in your life that needs some attention? Jesus says to get to that first. It means facing your mistakes, facing your neglect, maybe your conflicts. It may mean apologizing, maybe forgiving. Reaching out with love they can feel, making time for someone you love but you've been too busy for. So many parents are so busy establishing their lives that they have no time for their children.
Ironically, when the kids have time in their lives, we don't. Then, we finally have some time for them, and they don't. Irreplaceable years and opportunities are gone. We waited too long.
That may be what your Lord is trying to say to you right now. Take care of that relationship before any more time goes by. Don't wait until that devastating time when you wake up and realize that you've waited until there's nothing left.
Use the time you've got...while you still have it.

I Believe
Giving children allowances is one way to begin teaching them how to save money and budget for the things they might want. It is not what we do not understand about the Bible that is a problem. It is what we do understand and do not do. Morality (rules of right and wrong) is indispensable to the maintenance of America; without it our country will collapse. Not all disabilities are physical or visible. It doesn't hurt to assume that everyone is hurting in one way or another.
Research tells us that the average adult needs seven to nine hours (more for children) of sleep nightly; our quality of life depends on it. Success is often that which we cannot spend (for example, the positive way our children describe us when they are talking with a friend). The Bible teaches that regardless of background, age, race, or any other factor, God loves everyone equally and desires a genuine, personal relationship with us.
There are just two possible ways of life: God's way (good), expressed by His law of love, peace, and joy – the "give" way; and Satan's way (bad), as reflected in competition, greed, and violence – the "get" way. Those who still have parents should express their love and show respect while there still is time, for it is later than we think. We can all sense a mysterious connection to each other; therefore, it makes sense to practice "The Golden Rule." We, the people, must promote removing the changes in our culture that are destructive and replacing them with those that are constructive.
Self-reflection is always a good exercise. What I believe is a work in progress, not limited to these statements and subject to change. What do YOU believe?

Dueling polls
In the stretch run before the recent 6th District primary elections, a few candidates proclaimed that polls had them in or near the lead.
Republican Joseph T. Krysztoforski cited a TelePoll showing him with 37.8 percent and incumbent Roscoe G. Bartlett at 38.94 percent, a "statistical dead heat" when the margin of error is 3 percent. State Sen. David R. Brinkley was next with 13.27 percent.
Brinkley's campaign announced an ePolitical.us poll it commissioned showing "a virtual dead heat" between Bartlett (34 percent) and Brinkley (31 percent). The margin of error was 4 percent.
Actual results were markedly different. Bartlett won with 43.6 percent, followed by Brinkley (19.8 percent), Del. Kathryn L. Afzali (10.2 percent) and Krysztoforski (7.6 percent).
Democrat John Delaney's campaign said shortly before the primary that a new poll by Fred Yang of Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group had Delaney at 49 percent and state Sen. Robert J. Garagiola at 23 percent.
In that case, the predicted results were close to the actual results. Delaney won the race with 54.2 percent. Garagiola was second with 29.1 percent.
Last-minute link to 911 call
A few days before the Republican primary, a group calling itself "Victory for Bartlett" sent an email with a link to 911 calls involving state Sen. David R. Brinkley and his then-wife in 2008, a domestic dispute that was covered in news stories at the time.
Roscoe G. Bartlett's campaign said it wasn't responsible, and pledged to say who was if it finds out.
GOP candidates Joseph T. Krysztoforski and Robin Ficker denounced the attack. Ficker called it "sleazy."
But another GOP candidate, Del. Kathryn L. Afzali, encouraged her followers to be aware of the "disturbing" 911 calls and pointed them to a blog where a link to the calls was posted. She called the tape "a liability" for Republicans if Brinkley won the nomination.
A day later, Afzali apologized to supporters "furious" about her decision to "highlight how disgusting the race had become," calling it "a big mistake on my part."
Afzali said in an interview that some people accused her of "hateful tactics," even though "I was just passing on the information. Certainly, I was not the perpetrator."
Groomed to run
During campaign forums and interviews, Del. Kathryn L. Afzali took jabs at most of her 6th District GOP opponents, but had nice things to say about one: Robert Coblentz.
On a radio show called "Good Morning Tri-State," Afzali said of Coblentz: "Great kid. Just not ready. A lot of potential. I'm trying to recruit him to run for delegate."
Coblentz, who lives near Williamsport, is currently in Republican Del. Andrew A. Serafini's subdistrict. Under redistricting taking effect in 2014, Coblentz's delegate would be Republican LeRoy E. Myers Jr.
Told about that, Afzali said, "Oh, it is? Oh, no. Well, we don't want to lose the Republicans we have, certainly."
But she reiterated that Coblentz has potential. "It's incumbent on me in a position of leadership here to look to that next generation of people with passion," she said.
Coblentz said he and Afzali have talked informally about his future, but he's pleased with his representation in Annapolis and isn't planning to run for delegate. "I certainly will remain active," he added.

Lull Aerial Lift
Forklifts are mobile machines that utilize 2 prongs or forks to be able to place loads into positions that would usually be difficult to reach. Normally, lift trucks fall into 2 main categories: rough-terrain and industrial.
Most often, industrial lift trucks are used around train loading docks and truck loading docks in addition to in warehouse applications. These machines have smaller tires which are engineered to run on smooth surfaces. Usually, industrial lift trucks are powered by an internal gasoline engine running on diesel fuel or propane.
There are several smaller industrial lift truck models that use an electric motor running off an internal battery. As the name implies, rough terrain forklifts are designed to run on rough and unpaved surfaces. Normally, they are the ideal option for military and construction operation. Rough terrain forklifts normally have big pneumatic tires which are normally powered by internal industrial engines which run on propane, diesel or propane fuel. These lift truck models can have a telescoping boom, that can carry loads up and out from the base of the equipment or they could utilize a vertical tower, which is responsible for lifting loads straight up.
The rough terrain lift truck emerged in 1946, after a 2 pronged lift attachment was attached to a tractor chassis or a power buggy. This first machine was used around construction locations and can raise to a height of 30 inches or 76 centimeters and had a lifting capacity can carry 1000 pounds or 454 kg. Vertical tower forklifts were rapidly developed for industrial application and rough terrain lift trucks became popular as well. By the time the 1950s came around, there were available models which could lift up to heights of 9 meters or 30 feet and had lift capacities of 2500 lbs or 1135 kg.
The first 4-wheel drive rough terrain forklift was introduced in the year 1958. It offered a capacity of 2724 kg or 6000 lbs. and had a lift height of 7 meters or 22.5 feet or 1362 kg or 3000 lbs. and 35 feet or 11 meters. The first telescoping boom rough terrain forklift emerged on the market during the year 1962. This particular model allowed loads to be positioned out from the base of the machine both above and below grade.

Last week I was delighted to welcome Helen Grant MP, the Minister for Sport and Tourism, to Lancaster to show her one of our 'fitness' venues as well as our great attraction – Lancaster Castle.
I must admit, although I used to be a regular gym goer, having once again visited the 3-1-5 Health Club, I still couldn't help being amazed by the advances in the equipment used - especially their X-Force machines.
It was also great for both Helen and myself to hear from local people about the benefits they have experienced from taking regular suitable exercise, in particular members of the Headway Group (a self-support group for people who have suffered a brain injury) who work out at 3-1-5.
I also had the opportunity of paying a visit to one of our small village schools, that being Wray with Botton Endowed Primary School to meet with their Head, Ms Norton and Chairman of Governors Mr Lawrenson as well as get a tour and have a chat with staff and pupils.
As a former secondary school teacher, I always feel admiration for our primary school staff, especially in small schools such as this and appreciate the hard work that they do ensuring our children get the best possible start in life.
There is no doubt that pupils in small village schools like Wray are being taught to the highest standards, while experiencing a totally balanced curriculum.
Finally in what has been a rather tense few days waiting for the result of the NHS England's decision whether to continue to fund Abraxane I am pleased that the outcome has been that this drug will remain, for the time being, on the Cancer Drugs Fund list.
Together with Pancreatic Cancer UK, I have been arguing that Abraxane should remain on the list as this is the first new treatment for pancreatic cancer in twenty years and has been shown to extend life by up to two months.
This may not seem a great deal, but can I assure you that in terms of average life expectancy from diagnosis, of this virulent form of cancer, this could translate into a nearly doubling of the time left to live.

I like the image. Just out of curiosity; how did you get the varied exposures required for the HDR composite and what software did you use for the compositing?
Did you run through Adobe Raw or Lightroom first to get reduce the noise. I usually do this along with adding a little clarity while looking for dust bunnies before running through an HDR program.

Even though I've been parenting for 25 years, I am still learning from my kids. They continue to teach me about what's really important, and about seizing the moment.
My 19 year old daughter introduced me to the term Y.O.L.O. You. Only. Live. Once. She uses it on me when she wants me to do something spontaneous or fun.
YOLO, Mom, YOLO.
As if that will convince me to do what she wants. But if I stop to think about what she is saying, it often does convince me.
So YOLO is the word that rang through my head when my two daughters said, let's join the Black Friday crowds and shop through the night!
YOLO, Janis, YOLO.
I will keep telling myself that today as I'm Black Friday shopping, after being up at ridiculous hours.
I'm not a crazy, spontaneous person. But I do know this: the older I get, the more YOLO-ey I become because I realize just how true YOLO is.
So when you're torn between housework and playing with your kids, or just can't get up the energy to go to their games, or wonder why you ever agreed to try out that roller coaster ride. Remember YOLO.
I hope you celebrated Black Friday properly with someone you love and remember…there's always time later for sleeping. But if for some reason, you didn't join the craziness, the day's not over, it's not too late. Go do something fun and crazy with your kids.

Signing on I didn't recognise many of the names on the list but having been north of the border for a a season this was hardly surprising. I did however see Jo Munden riding around and knew it was going to be a tough one as she is a very strong rider.
A blow of the whistle and we were off... very slowly.... all of us had fallen foul of the downhill to the start and were in too big a gear. But the start was also downhill so after a pedal turn or two we were up to speed and hurtling towards the first loose corner. Gingerly making my way around and sprinting out I glanced back to see I had a good few metres already. Blimey! Head down and go time then.
|Head down and go!
The course was really good, lots of short sharp climbs, loose descents, one unbelieveable bugger of a hill that I even saw top men walking up and an absolutely smashing bermed descent down the other side. It was a good thing, I realised on my last lap, that I was always behind someone going slightly slower than I would have on that descent and not able to pass because I might have done myself some damage it was so much fun! Most of the race I was riding with the middle of the sport male pack until Jo Munden managed to catch me on the 3rd lap. She made a really good pass so I just sat on her wheel and had a bit of a breather whilst working out when I could attack again. She then told me she was racing sport due to a recent injury. So we had a nice chat and rode through to her finish and for me to head out for the last time. Grabbing my final bottle from Simon (Ernest who had been kind enough to come and help me out with baby in tow) I was feeling rather good again and having had one person catch me wasn't keen for another to do the same. Head back down again then.
|Thanks to the pit crew
It was not a worry in the end however and when I crossed the line I had a good gap over second and third. To say I was chuffed is an understatement. This was my first MTB win since I promoted myself to elite and although only early season and a local race it is confidence inspiring to get a win under your belt.
Thanks to Simon, Mel and baby D for the support, Joolze Dymond for cheering like a mad thing and all the guys for chatting to me and making it a sociable race! Until the next one...

Right now, the dystopian genre is hugely popular in books and movies, in large part because of the success of the Hunger Games franchise. While the movie adaptations of the Hunger Games were mostly true to the books and were highly emotional, well-made films, most book-to-movie adaptations are not so good. For example, the latest movie of this genre to come out, "Allegiant," which was based on the first half of the final novel in the Divergent book series, was awful. It didn't follow the book at all, it made most of the characters look ridiculous, and it basically lost all meaning.
To make up for this travesty, here are three dystopian books that will make readers restore their faith in the genre.
"Reboot" by Amy Tintera
In this novel, a disease causes some people to come back to life after they die. No, not as zombies, but rather as Reboots. The longer Reboots are dead, the less human they are when they return. The story centers on Wren 178, who is the deadliest Reboot in the Republic of Texas, because she was dead for only 178 minutes before she came back. Wren, who is 17 years old, serves as a soldier for the Human Advancement and Repopulation Corporation (HARC). As a part of her job with HARC, she is a bounty hunter and a trainer for new Reboots. She usually enjoys the training, but her newest Reboot, Callum 22, is making her job difficult because he's basically still human since he was only dead for 22 minutes. Wren becomes attached to Callum throughout the novel, and she eventually has to decide if she will follow him and question HARC and all she's ever known or if she will stick with the status quo. "Reboot" is a unique, fast-paced, sci-fi action novel with a strong female character. The romance isn't over-the-top or fake. However, there is quite a bit of gore, so those who are queasy may want to steer clear of the novel.
"The Program" by Suzanne Young
In "The Program," suicide is a teen epidemic. All teens become depressed and then kill themselves if they are not taken to The Program first. Once in The Program, they are treated, and then they are put back in society as blank slates because their memories have been erased along with their depression. The story is primarily about Sloane and James, a couple in their teens. They try to stay happy, and they try to hide their emotions from everyone but each other. They know if anyone saw them breakdown, or even cry, they would be sent to The Program, where they would forget they are in love and even that they know each other. Sometimes, or actually most of the time, the romance in young adult books is the result of insta-love, where the protagonist falls in love with his or her significant other after seeing him or her for the first time ever. Sloane and James' romance is not like that at all. They're in an established relationship when the novel starts, and their relationship is just so real. That's part of what makes "The Program" so effective. With the threat of The Program looming over their heads and the crazy world that they live in where parents are eager to turn their children over to it to save them from their depression and suicide, readers become infuriated and incredibly sad as they watch the events of the novel unfold. Although "The Program" is absolutely maddening and heart wrenching, it's a great read.
"Pines" by Blake Crouch
"Pines" is about Secret Service Agent Ethan Burke, who goes to Wayward Pines, Idaho, to look for two other agents who went missing there a month earlier. Before he can begin investigating their disappearances, however, he is involved in a terrible car accident. One day, he wakes up lying in the grass, with no recollection of how he got there. He doesn't have his ID, his briefcase or his cell phone. He has only the clothes on his back. Badly injured, he wanders around town before stumbling into the hospital in Wayward Pines. He is wary of the hospital, the nurses, the doctors and the town in general because, while everyone is nice, something just seems wrong. "Pines" is well written, weirdly wonderful and, at times, quite violent. It's eerie and leaves readers feeling utterly disturbed. The only possible negative is that its science is a little too far-fetched at times. Also, there is a FOX TV series based on "Pines" and its two sequels "Wayward" and "The Last Town." The first season aired last summer, and the second season premieres on May 25.

He replaces Judge Teori Zavascki, who died in a plane crash last month. There have been calls for a less politically sensitive nomination, as many senior politicians are facing charges in the corruption scandal. Mr Temer said he had chosen Mr Moraes for his "solid academic credentials". The 49-year-old lawyer is a member of the PSDB party, which is part of Mr Temer's governing coalition. He joined the cabinet in May, when Mr Temer replaced President Dilma Rousseff, who was facing impeachment proceedings. Image copyright AFP Image caption Mr Moraes had to answer tough questions after riots in gang-controlled prisons last month Earlier this year, Mr Moraes had to deal with his most serious crisis since taking office, when more than 100 prisoners were killed by fellow inmates in a series of prison riots. He announced a plan to set up police intelligence units and increase cooperation with neighbouring countries to reduce the power of the gangs that control most Brazilian prisons. 'Foul play' Mr Moraes's nomination needs to be ratified by the Senate. He asked for a 30-day leave of absence to prepare for the ratification process. But analysts say the government does not expect the nomination to be rejected, as it has a broad majority in the Senate. Later this month the Supreme Court is due to begin ruling on the extensive evidence gathered during an investigation into corruption at the state oil company, Petrobras.
