Heavy Snow fell yesterday and the run over the hills was tough going for me. Badger was a good way up ahead and I noticed he had stopped with his nose in the ground. His flashing collar in the distance got brighter as I approached him and then he started barking. I got near him and I spotted an injured Gull on the ground with a broken wing. I scooped it up and put it in my bumbag and ran the 7 miles back home through the snow as gingerly as I could. We got home in blizzard conditions and put the little bird in a box with a dark sheet over it.
I dropped it off at the vets this morning. Maybe it will have a chance.

Congratulations Julie, you must be really excited! The photos look fabulous. We are hoping to start work on the building that I bought across the road with the idea being that it will house a lot of the larger items that do not fit in my wee boutique. It has been really cold here (-17) but the weather is slowly returning to normal.....

Dan and Gemma have found their dream first home, but the asking price is the stuff of nightmares. The only way they'll ever save for a deposit is by returning, rent-free, to Dan's childhood home.

Crafting and eating at Sarah's b-day. They are making faces whose mouth can change expression with a sliding paper.
Sarah's first birthday party with friends
We had a lovely b-day party (celebrating her 4th b-day which is on the 19th) with Sarah's friend's over yesterday. Faith (6), Rhema (4), Justice (2) and Phoneix (3 months) and their Mom Alyssa over for the day. They came around 11:30 am and the girls made a simple craft and had some healthy shape cookies. Justice was right in there too. Then they played and it was lunch time. We ate in the front yard with the patio table and umbrella up. Andy made lunch. Chicken fingers, homemade fries, steamed brocolli and carrots and some raw veggies as well. Also cut up nectarines. It was fabulous. Alyssa kept saying how nice this was. It was the first time they were at our place so it was pretty special. Sarah also opened her gift from the girls before lunch as well. It was some sticker earrings and $10, to share with our sponsored kids & for Sarah (however we want to divide it) and some tomatoes from their tomato plant. Then back inside for dancing with decoration streamers. Sarah and I had put up red balloons and streamers in the morning and made her plum pie(s). Sarah had the idea of asking her friends in advance what kind of pie they'd like and I told there Mom the fruit options we had and the girls picked a plum pie. They all loved it and had seconds too. We walked to see the turkeys and chickens and also to the lake. It was great. Alyssa helped me clean up after too. Before the kids left we gave them each a birthday bundle which is a cardboard tube wrapped up with tiny gifts inside - small toy, candy, balloon. Sarah really enjoyed putting these together this month. The idea came from a book we got from Grandma Abrahams. The craft came from there too. We'll see if I can get some pics up here sometime.

Instead of dwelling on the fact that I've been away since last October(!), I thought I would just keep this post short and sweet. Just know that I'll be working super hard to win back your love, I promise! ;-) It feels great to be writing again and I can't wait to start sharing some recipes and healthful tips with you guys. Stay tuned!
A little something to brighten your Monday...
On a side note... it's also been a super long time since I've listened to an episode of This American Life. I thought it would be a good idea to listen while I write... um... bad idea! It's so distracting. Especially this particular episode that I'm listening to. The prologue is about a little boy who is vegetarian and is trying to convince his parents and little brother to go vegetarian as well. He's 7. Talk about 'wow'. If you want to listen to it, the episode is called Stuck In the Middle.
Happy June!
ps: I just want to thank those of you who've been asking about my blog and when I'd be writing again. To hear that you miss it and enjoy reading it makes me feel amazing and lets me know that you love it as much as I do. Thank you. xx

The International break is finally over, and after two very boring England matches, I could not wait until the Premier League campaign rolled back in to town. So, after a weekend off, the Premier League action finally returned and offered as much excitement as usual, with many high profile clashes at both the top and bottom of the league.
The weekend kicked off with the small matter of the Merseyside Derby and it was as feisty as ever, with a surprise inclusion for Matthew Pennington and the typically expected rash tackles and passionate fans, the Premier League returned with a bang. The headlines also included the rash discussions that happened on the touchline with Jurgen Klopp and Ronald Koemans' back room staff traded words following one of Ross Barkley's many questionable tackles. In the end, Liverpool came out relatively easy 3-1 winners, despite another Everton youngster in Matthew Pennington slotting home to score his first Everton goal, levelling the score for all of 3 first half minutes and handing the bragging rights to the red side of Liverpool in the 3rd successive game under Klopp.
This result put pressure back on the sides in and around the Top 4 as they leapfrogged Manchester City into 3rd. On the same weekend we witnessed a shock result as Sam Allardyce and star of the Show Wilfried Zaha continued Crystal Palace's amazing turnaround in form with a 2-1 away win at Chelsea which delivered a 4th consecutive win pulling them further away from the relegation zone, and cutting Chelsea's seemingly unassailable lead from 10 points to 7 following Tottenham's 2-0 away win at Burnley.
Leicester's resurgence continued as they beat a lacklustre Stoke City 2-0 at the King Power, which in turn saw Craig Shakespeare become the first English coach to win his opening 4 Premier League games, and also saw them climb to 13th place in the League, having been lumbered in and around the bottom 3 when Claudio Ranieri was sacked. New man Wilfried N'Didi once again proving why he was brought into the club with an assured performance in the centre of midfield and topped off another top drawer performance, he rifled a 25 yard effort into the top right hand corner of the net. Perhaps Leicester have finally found the ideal replacement for the 'irreplaceable' N'Golo Kante, and lets not forget he is only just 20 years of age, signalling that there is much more to come from this lad.
Hull City took a massive step in their quest for survival as they beat free falling West Ham, who slip to 15th just 5 points ahead of Hull, will now be looking over their shoulders and dreading the prospect of a relegation battle after such a swansong season last season at Upton Park, while fellow relegation candidates Sunderland once again tasted defeat, which comes with a dip in club form for main talisman Jermaine Defoe, leaving them without a league goal in over 2 months and looking destined to trade places with local rivals Newcastle in the Championship.
The final two games were 0-0 draws, but one hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Tony Pulis' West Brom travelled to Old Trafford, with their 8th placed position with the time being. They did what any typical Pulis team are known for doing, placing 11 men behind the ball and making life miserable for their opponents and in turn, the fans. I fully believe a result is better than the way a team plays, but watching West Brom at times is like watching paint dry. Never the less, they efficiently took a point, much to Mourinho's dismay as he seemed to once again throw the toys out of the pram after not getting a result that he wanted. Not content with showing very little respect to West Brom in the post match interview, he later went on to launch a scathing attack onto Luke Shaw, saying he cannot compare him to any other player and that he is nowhere near the first team.
And finally, a south coast derby between Southampton and Bournemouth played out like a mid table game at the end of the season, rather drab and dull with neither sides having much to play for, despite Bournemouth's poor form prior to the two games in March. Despite both sides hitting the post, the only real highlight was the missed penalty from Harry Arter who blazed over with 13 minutes to go, bluffing the chance to send the Cherries above their hosts.
With International football over until June, we can now look forward to an uninterrupted footballing calendar in the Premier League, and with many more twists and turns, we can look forward to

Because I live 30 miles from the university I'm at the very bottom of the list for halls, and now the only ones left are quiet living, single sex and no alcohol. What the actual fuck. I'll still be paying for regular halls, but instead of them being regular they'll be shite.
Should I just look for a house at this stage?
yeah or take the cool dude halls and move into the shit druggy halls when someone quits in week 1
if you want to
I think looking for a house is probably your best bet. I don't think I could have coped in quiet, alcohol free halls. The just keep reapplying until either you decide you like where you are or the good halls become available.
why would anyone want to live in halls?
just get a house, or stay at home.
Seemed like the best way to meet new people
And all the best studentland houses are gonna be gone now
there's always places in houses
5 of us found a house at uni together and two of them dropped out before term even started.
meeting people when you're a student is pretty easy. plus you get to be the cool kid who's too cool for halls.
often cheaper if you're a first year
relatively close to campus
no friends at that uni/looking to make more
those are the only reasons i can think of
also if you're moving to a new city
it's really inconvenient to look for a houseshare in advance of actually moving.
+ you get food, too.
If you can't cook yourself.
not necessarily
plus that should be a priority
surely food is the exception?
the halls here are MUCH more expensive than average rents in the same area
i'm guessing it's the same in a lot of cities cause people are willing to pay extra for the social experience/convenience of halls. and also first years/people moving to the city for the first time have no idea what a normal rent price is so you can pretty much charge them whatever you want.guntrip this'd this
- marckee this'd this
it depends how many hmo houses there are nearby
so in like glasgow and manchester there are millions
I was in the povvo halls and even those were like £92pw
still, dead convenient as I'm at a campus university in the countryside.
Ignore him
Halls are the best. Literally 90% of all the great moments of my short, sad life were spent there.
- plasticniki this'd this
people flout the rule all the time
but i think it depends on why students dont drink. theyd be well within their rights to complain to the warden if people were having constant parties and leaving booze lying around everywhere.
find out if someone will swap
you'll get someone who absolutely hates their flatmates and wants to change within the first week. personally i'd just stay in the nice quiet ones and be nearer other halls and make friends with people there. also you might get some alright people in your halls (they could just be non-alcohol for religious reasons or a bit older or whatever). probably need to ask to get put on a waiting list for a transfer so call them about that asap if you're doing it my way.georgiabeth and in_wainbows this'd this
also at least you're not in some weird old fashioned ones
someone i know applied for self catered and got put in this horrific all-boys place where you had to wear and robe and pray like you were at oxford. and they had their 'socials' with the equivalent girls halls across the road cause that's where all the other people who couldnt bear to leave private school were living. hahahaha posh twats.
I'm in this situation too (in 2nd year though) and have been recently crapping myself about this
this comment has made me feel better, thanks :)
mine was a bit annoying
I was the only first year on a hall with third year and masters level foreign students so they didn't really go out much or speak great english. My fault though (the result of me thinking i'd applied but not actually having sent the application). It was fine once i made friends though and a good thing was they were nice, quiet, we had dinner together sometimes and if i wanted a bit of space for peace and quiet i could. Up to you though innit.
once someone said i missed out by not living in halls
really i think i'm the one in the better position because i got a year of not living with other students
I really really wish I'd missed out on living in halls
I enjoyed it at the time in a sort of loud drunken way. But did I? Did I really? (No, I don't think I did).
Also I'd have got a much better degree.TheWza this'd this
nah I really didn't
looking back I was pretty unhappy. But yay drink n drugs!
Regarding single-sex halls...
My French flatmate at university, Stephane, got transferred into a spare room in our flat two weeks into the start of term.
He'd applied late and some idiot in the accommodation office had thought he was called Stephanie and tried to squeeze him into an all-girls flat. He was very nice and polite, so I doubt he caused much trouble, but apparently there were some very devout girls in burkas in that first flat who were not impressed one bit. They were also too polite to complain though, so it took a fortnight of everyone ignoring him, and him getting increasingly confused, for it all to unravel.
Bets time of my life in halls. Awesome.
Heres my advice: Stay at home - then look for halls in enrolment week. Shed loads of people drop out. The university will have a 'stduent living' team too, who can help you look for a room nearby too. Theres normally alos blocks of flats which are for students but private.
How can they have booze free halls?
Search your bags and your room? Smoking fair enough, but drinking?
They're not allowed to call them Sharia halls
in case da EDL try and save us from them!!!
just stay in the nice clean quiet ones
and go to parties in the other ones without caring about living in the aftermathzxcvbnm- and badmanreturns this'd this
This is a good idea
although if you want to move into a large halls in order to make a load of friends, this is tricky.
maybe meet friends by getting involved in extra curricular stuff
then you're with people you share common interests with and not just random bozos.
this is NOT what I did but it sounds like a good idea.

Whether you're installing flooring in one room or all of them, choosing the right flooring for your home can be stressful and confusing.
Here are a few things to consider when selecting your new floor:
The most important factor to consider is your lifestyle. For example, if you have small children or pets, that plush white carpet may not be the best choice for the lounge. Are you installing the flooring in a high-traffic part of your home? You will need a harder-wearing floor in the family room than you would in a home office.
Try to select colours and patterns that will allow you to easily change the style of the room. While it may be tempting to give in to your 10-year old daughter's request for a powder pink carpet, it could mean replacing the floor again within a few years time.
Cleaning and Maintenance
It's important to give some consideration to how much time you have for maintenance. Carpets require regular vacuuming and occasional shampooing, making them ideal for lower-traffic areas. Ceramic tiles are very easy to clean and require little maintenance, however they can be slippery. Hardwood is also easy to clean, but it requires more maintenance than ceramic or laminate.
Here's a quick comparison of the pros and cons of various floor types:
Hardwood – Classic look, matches any décor, long-lasting. More expensive to install, must be maintained (treated) over time.
Ceramic Tile – Durable and easy to clean/maintain. More expensive to install, can be very slippery.
Carpet – Available in styles, textures and colours, to suit any taste. High-maintenance, wears out faster in high-traffic areas.
Parquet – The look of hardwood at less cost. Not as durable as hardwood.
Vinyl Tile – Affordable and available in many patterns and colours. Can peel over time, has a shorter life-span.
There are, of course, other options, and you should do some research to decide what suits you and your home best. Once you've made your choice(s), the next step is getting the job done. Replacing and installing flooring can be a big job. Let MyHammer help you find the right tradesman for the task!

I can't believe I'm writing this, but so far most of my Christmas shopping has been done online.
This is due to another project I'm involved in which is taking up a lot of my time, something I've always tried to avoid coming up to Christmas.
Being someone who loves the festive season especially the trips to the stores which set up special Christmas shops, I feel deprived of that festive build up, as though I'm letting the traditionalists down because so many people these days rubbish Christmas yet eventually succumb to the atmosphere and even go to church.
The season has tremendous appeal; it's hard to ignore even if the festive pop songs in stores really test us to the limit.
When the first gift I had ordered arrived I wasn't even there to sign for it – the three to five day delivery promise was a bit vague and I didn't have time to be marooned at home – so when I decided to chase up the missing present another half day was spent picking it up.
Fortunately what looked interesting in the catalogue was exactly that and it buoyed me up to continue the online shopping.
Another gift took 10 days to materialise but, hey, it was saving me time for other things; what's not to like about that?
But I really was missing a proper Christmas shopping event, bringing home things I didn't intend to buy, chatting with the sister and friends over coffee and mince pies, getting new ideas for setting out a festive table, spending money on fripperies which looked cute at the time.
My childhood Christmas memories involve seeing my mother ride her bicycle back from the shops on Christmas Eve with parcels of all shapes tied to the handlebars.
I know if she was alive today she would do it in the same way as she never liked Christmas traditions being watered down. We would have greeted her like the children in the traditional Christmas cards. While she was shopping we were decorating the house because that's when it was done decades ago.
Today, already, I see Christmas trees in homes everywhere and this weekend the mayors will be out switching on festive lights. Some of them will have to do it several times as every village is entitled to its own tree these days.
London might look gorgeous at Christmas but the regions are getting their own slice of the action. After all they are ratepayers too.
In other ways I have taken to online shopping because it is easier and you don't risk getting knocked down in a shopping mall by a child pushing a scooter with one foot or face the drug addled holding their hands out for money as shoppers have been in one of Belfast's main shopping venues.
In fact a report out this week revealed that 'hi-tech high streets' are driving older shoppers away. Research by the Centre for Future Studies (CFS) suggests a lack of seating is one problem something I witnessed myself this week at an out of town shopping centre.
Last time I was there I was able to sit down to a light lunch. I can still have a light lunch and a table to eat it off, but no chair to sit on.
The few people there standing to eat were young and sturdy.
The store didn't have what I had gone for, yet I was able to get exactly what I wanted in a much smaller shop near home. That has taught me a lesson – that the big store isn't always beautiful or bountiful.
Last year I bought half of my Christmas presents in a shop/café just two miles from home.
It had a shelf filled with locally produced arts and crafts and I celebrated my good luck by having lunch there. So, if you haven't yet done your Christmas shopping and are not a fan of online shopping then you might be surprised at how much you can buy locally.
CFS suggests that UK retailers who are not elderly-friendly are losing out on the £4.5 billion spent annually in shops, a lot of that at Christmas.
They've only themselves to blame.

The ogres clutch their weapons, completely unprepared for the beating they are about to receive.

Lorenzo glances back to Saccha, and to the ogres, sidling to keep himself between her and them fully.
"Break towards Jenn and the others when I move, I'll keep their attention. It'll be safer over there than near me."
Once she confirms, he lets loose a bellow and charges Korg, raging and aiming to strike a blow into the brute.
Saccha nods then watches him go gulping. Combat right. She'd done this before.. sort of. She starts running through her mental spell list to see what would work best

(Waiting for Jennifer's attack, then I'll resolve what we've got so far)
Maki strikes an ogre hard, digging her sword into the thick muscle of its forearm, but he doesn't seem quite that bothered. As Saccha considers her spell list, Lorenzo strikes the other ogre, who stares at him angrily.
(Jennifer? Then others)
Jennifer's attention lapses upon the fire she had been maintaining, letting the remaining blazes that were still smoldering from Lorenzo's water burn out completely as she instead turned her hands, and her prayers, towards the ogres.
"Dear Lord Asmodeus, no time to explain, Ogres! Please help. Thank you. Nos Nihil Ante Vos."
A spray of flames spread from the tips of her fingers to envelop the two brutes.
((Burning Hands, dex save against 3d6 fire damage, save resists half the damage. Preferably catching both in the 15 foot cone if possible.))
The ogres both enjoy a nice roasting.
Tinya's fiery sword appears in her hands and she swipes broadly, once at each ogre, nearly splitting the giants in half.

|907 Oil Pressure Specs
Jensen-Healey at normal operating temp (hot)
60 psi (4.2 kg/ sq cm) at 2500 rpm
J-H's 60 psi oil pressure spec is possible, but not normal, especially if the engine is now old with a lot of miles on the clock. Looking for 60 psi will result in a lot of un-necessary disappointment.
Lotus at normal operating temp (hot)
Not below 5 psi (0.35 kg/sq cm) at idle
Not below 35 psi (2.5 kg/ sq cm) at 3500 rpm
Not below 45 psi (3.5 kg/ sq cm) at 6500 rpm
Lotus' specified minimum oil pressure at idle scares me. No 'healthy' 907 will have oil pressure that low, and 5 psi at hot idle clearly indicates something isn't right.
All Lotus engines prior to the current Toyota powered cars use main and rod bearings with rather wide tolerances. The design depends upon a high viscosity oil (20W50 / 10W60) and an oil pump that can deliver a large flow volume at a modest pressure. High pressure is not a design parameter, and it is not necessary to shim the relief valve's spring to achieve 60 psi at 2500 rpm.
Modern engines must meet mandated efficiency standards, so they're using thinner oils... like 0W20 to 5W30. Those thin oils require much tighter bearing clearances, and higher oil pressures. Just because some modern, thin oil works great in your new daily driver doesn't mean it will work great in your 907. It won't!
Keep the viscosity up, and hot oil pressure of 35 psi is reasonable on the street, maybe 45 psi on the highway, and 50+ on cold start-up. 60 psi hot is not necessary, or even good.

I meant to post this on Valentine's day, but I was too busy with Valentine's Day to actually write.
I have been in love exactly three times in my relatively short life. The first was in high school, which really shouldn't count but I feel it was the first time I truly felt "love." (I say that under quotations because I'm not quite sure it was actually love or maybe just the moment I was in) There was this guy I met while in high school (summer before junior year maybe?) and I developed a huge crush on him. We "dated" or "talked" or whatever the heck we called it back then but I'm fairly certain now it wasn't a real relationship. They'll never make a movie about us. But I felt very strongly for him. To the point I felt a physical WOW moment when I realized I was actually in love with him. Of course, this moment came during the middle of a church "revival" type concert we had gone to... so, it could have been God moving in me. But I think it was "love."
The second time I felt "love" was with a good guy friend (who I really hope isn't reading this right now) and have honestly been "in love" with him since we started talking (grown up talking, not high school dating-talking). I think my love for him was actually transferred to him from another guy when my friend said "neat" about something I said and the guy I had liked previously always said "neat" and I thought it was super cute. Whatever. I was 20.
Anywho... "in love" with guy friend, never going to happen between us, am focusing on letting myself accept we're just friends. It's working out for me... a little.
The last and most recent time I fell in love was the second I laid eyes on my puppy (who really isn't a puppy anymore but she'll always be that way to me) Ginger. Maybe it's a little lame to fall in love with a dog, but who cares? She's the absolute love of my life. The moment I saw her and held her, I would have done anything to keep her. I still would do anything or pay anything to keep her. I look for places to live based on her. I make travel plans based on her. I plan my social calendar based on her. Honestly, if you get to feel this much love when you have a kid, sign me up for 20! (No, really... please don't.)
All this being said I wouldn't say these three times quantify as falling head over heels in love with something. But then Valentine's Day came and, unlike the millions of women who hate V-Day or moan "woe is me, I don't have anyone who loves me!" all day, I decided to take the day of love into my own hands.
I know that one day I'll meet someone and will fall in love (true love, mind you) and they will fall in love with me and we'll live ever after (note I didn't say "happily"... you can never tell and who wants life to be perfect?). Until then, why should I waste love? Why should I go months or years of being single and not love? I shouldn't! So who should I love until Prince Zac comes along? Me, of course! Because if I don't love me the most, why would anyone else?
I know how egotistical that must sound and I truly don't mean it that way. To paraphrase Carrie Bradshaw, the most important relationship is the one you have with yourself. If you don't love yourself, what makes you think someone else will? No, I'm not perfect and I have tons of flaws. But that's okay. I'm still awesome.
So in conclusion maybe I haven't fallen head over heels with something like I intially thought I would but I think this is so much better. I may not look, act, sound, or think like the most perfect woman in the world, but in my opinion, I'm okay with that. I'm head over heels in love with me just the way I am.

My stash is not cooperating with my knitting needs. I had it in my mind to make something red, white and/or blue for my friend's baby, due July 4th [hence the name Baby Cancer]. I have some 100% acrylic yarn that was used for another baby item a few months back. The only problem is the contrasting color I have is minty green and I really don't want to buy a skein of a second color, since I'm trying to get rid of what I have. So, I'm going to make this little sweater in white and embroider a few blue stars on it. Too cute? Yeah, I thought so too. My eyes have gotten really tired from staring at the computer screen so I'm going to cast on and get this little gifty underway.

ISTE Debrief: Don't Hide the Internet from Kids
If you didn't make it to ISTE 2011, you missed a great time. There was more going on than any sane person could absorb in a month and all 30,000+ of us attendees tried to do it in four days. The seminars cover every topic from tech integration to how to use specific programs to general trends. I tried to attend a few of each to not only learn new material but to make sure what I'm teaching is as relevant this year as when I first taught it to my classes.
Here are some of my thoughts:
- Teachers are not lecturers. We are guides, even fellow-learners
- Students learn by doing more than being taught. Encourage this
- There are a lot of 'right' ways to learn
- Students are problem-solvers. Let this happen
- Technology is about offering options in learning styles
- Technology offers different ways to teach different learners. Use it that way.
- Work beyond the classroom because class is too short, kids aren't engaged the entire five hours
- Paperless classroom is possible. Figure it out.
- Virtual presentations so kids hear from the experts in real time
- Access online mentors and advisors
- Don't be afraid of social media (Twitter, Facebook, blogs). Embrace them to make teaching more relevant
- Every time there was a list of websites to encourage student learning, it included Khan Academy
- Presenters seemed unclear of an effective way to assess learning in the Web 2.0 world. The sessions that tried to explain this usually fell back to rubrics as the best method–not very trending is it?
- ISTE recommended setting aside two hours for the Exhibitor Hall. It should have been five.
Besides tech ed, I learned a lot about stuff I didn't expect to, such as:
- How to organize my receipts on my mobile phone
- How to scan QR codes with my mobile phone
- How to scan documents with my mobile phone
- How to always sit by an outlet because my clunky old laptop kept dumping battery power
- How to always sit by an outlet because I ran through all the battery in my brand new iPhone
- How much I need an iPad—that 3-year old laptop is heavy! (and, they don't make you unpack iPads at the airport)
This video sums it all up. Take four minutes. Enjoy:
Now watch this next video only if you attended. Recognize anything?

Minor, Middle East Studies
The Middle East studies minor at Northwestern University in Qatar provides students with a critical understanding of this crucial region's cultures, histories, societies, politics, intellectual contributions, and mediated representations.
The repertoire of course offerings also offers a foundational literacy of developments affecting the Middle East, defined for practical purposes as the region roughly bounded by Egypt, Turkey, Iran, and the Arabian Peninsula. But global issues essential for understanding the region, such as decolonization, orientalism, gender, or religious revival, frequently draw upon the study of themes and regions that do not always fit the Eurocentric mapping of the "Middle East."

How the Fenman Classic bike show started
During the early spring of 1989 a group of local classic motorcycle enthusiasts met quite by chance in the bar of the Chequers pub in Wimbotsham and of course the topic was soon that of motorcycles and which classic venues they should visit. It soon became evident that on the August Bank Holiday there were no local events planned and the nearest venue of any significance was near London. Over a beer they approached the subject of having our own small gathering. By the end of the evening they had talked it over, and realised that they had the manpower and a nucleus of classic bikes, on which to base a show.
They came up with the "Fenman" name and Logo. The name was picked to identify the Fenland area which Wimbotsham borders, and was taken directly from the Fenman express which runs from London to Kings Lynn. The logo, which depicts a farm-hand complete with smock and floppy hat, is indicative of the agricultural nature of our area.
Some £700 was needed "up front" to cover trophies, advertising and printing costs. They paid out of their own pockets, and they gambled on a successful first show. They wondered how they should organise the event, who they should invite and what sort of catering. A captive area was needed on which to site the exhibits, and the landlord kindly offered them the car park behind the pub, as well as the field behind that.
Prior to the first show the Parish Council were approached, for permission to stage the event, who sanctioned the venture with some reservation, for the thought of the village being taken over by gangs of marauding bikers was uppermost on their minds, as it was too on the minds of some village residents. Today there are no worries about the disruption that the show now brings, for this is only one day a year, and the proceeds that are raised all go to very worthy Local causes.
The day of the first show arrived, and so did the visitors from all over East Anglia in numbers far exceeding our expectations. The crowd was well behaved and liked what they saw, for by then they had managed to attract some 60 bikes and a handful of traders to the Venue. That evening when they finally sat down and counted the money they were surprised to find that they had actually made a profit (they had expected at best to only break even) of £500.
Another meeting was called to decide what to do with the proceeds, and it was at this meeting that they decided to give the profit to the Kings Lynn branch of the St Johns Ambulance Service, and from the next show onwards to support Local charities only. As the funds began to grow with the increase of visitors to the show, further charities were looked after, namely the St John Ambulance Service and the British Red Cross. As the village helps the Fenman, so they helped the village, and to date have paid for seats on the village green and Turners Close, as well as donating funds to the Village Hall, the Village School, the Allotments and the Playing Field Fighting Fund. Now in its 29th year the Fenman goes from strength to strength, attracting thousands of visitors each year. The show has now moved across the road to the village school grounds for more space and the traders are now on the playing field but the feel of the show has remained that of a village show. And let hope it continues for many years to come!!

Low temperatures lead to higher electric bills
The cold, snowy and icy winter has left some members feeling a different kind of chill after seeing their most recent electric bill. The SVEC call-centers have been flooded with inquiries from members wondering why electric bills for January, and especially February, were higher than normal. The higher bills were the result of winter weather that was colder than we have had in the past year or two, which increased consumer energy consumption by 42% across the state.
When you receive your SVEC bill it has been almost a month since the reading of your use for that bill. And the bill is for the use 30 -31 days before the reading. By the time we get our bills most of us have forgotten what the weather was like six to eight weeks ago. So the amount of the electric bill may come as a shock to some.
It is important to remember that your electric bill reflects your electric use and it is a fact that you will use more electricity in your home in times of extreme weather conditions. The temperatures his past December and January – the basis for the January and February electric bills— were colder than December of 2016 and January 2017. The temperatures area-wide were so low that in January TVA hit its highest winter peak in 80 years.
"Weather matters and we want our members to be aware of steps they can take to be energy efficient even as temperatures change," stated Mike Partin, SVEC President/CEO. "The colder it is outside, the more electricity you use. For example, on a very cold winter day, a home heating system runs longer to circulate warm air through the home, even though the thermostat may be set at the same temperature as normal. In addition, more people stay inside on cold days. More people in a home usually results in using more electricity," Partin continued. So, what can you do to manage a higher-than-normal electric bill? Here are a few options:
- Don't be surprised when you get your bill, instead keep up with your daily usage at http://bit.ly/2FYI1Do or with the SVEC App. When you see your usage go higher than you want, make some changes inside the home right away.
- We have NOT increased rates and charge the same amount per kWh no matter what day or time you use energy.
- Even if you don't make any changes inside your home, when it is extremely cold out, your heating system has to work harder to keep you comfortable.
- Heating accounts for up to 70% of your electric bill. Keep your thermostat at 68 degrees when you're home and set it even lower when you leave. Seal around doors and windows and make sure you keep them closed and locked.
- When temperatures drop below freezing, most heating systems go into "auxiliary" or "emergency" heat mode, which uses 3 to 4 times more electricity. Keep your thermostat setting as low as you can tolerate (68 degrees or lower), and bundle up!
- Limit use of space heaters. The cost to heat with a 1500 watt space heater for 12 hours a day can add over $65 a month to your bill. That is for only 1 space heater!
- If you pay your bill on time each month, consider switching to Budget Billing so your payment will be the same amount every month and you "settle-up" once a year.
- Need a little extra time to pay your bill? Don't wait until it's late, call us right away and we can set-up payments for you. Call your local office to find out more about payment arrangements.
Any way you look at it, it takes more energy to keep you comfortable when the temperatures go to extremes. But there are steps you can take to help keep those costs to a minimum. Visit "Member Center" on this site and click on "Save Energy & Money" for information on SVEC programs designed to help you improve the energy efficiency of your home. If you have questions about your electric bill, please call your local office and talk to a customer service representative.

Get right with God, Waylon Hunt told his family, friends and strangers.
"He woke us up this morning, so God gave us another chance to get it right. Whatever you need to fix, fix it now because He woke you up and gave you this chance."
His faith came first, then family, then everyone else who crossed his path, especially children in need of guidance. Those are the passions that will linger, the local minister's family says, the ones that will continue to have an impact long after Waylon's death.
Husband and father, minister and mentor, the 37-year-old was shot to death on Christmas Eve.
Pushing forward through her darkest days, Waylon's wife is finding comfort and purpose in people – more than she knew, many she's never met – whose lives were changed by her husband's life and, now, after his death.
"I didn't ever know he would have a big impact like this. He had got right. I'm gonna miss him, because he was my soulmate. He was my best friend," Bridget said. "I've been talking to a lot of people. They're trying to make right now, to do right because he's been an influence.
"That's what he wanted: they could look at him, see all the tattoos and not be judged."
From coaching any sport that crossed his path – little league football, basketball, soccer, softball – to working at KidsWorld or acting as a surrogate father when called upon, Waylon's drive was to help guide the next generation.
"That was his passion," according to Waylon's mother, Alice Hunt. "They were his ministry. His work. He wanted to make a difference in the lives of children as they grew from childhood to adulthood.
"He just wanted to make a positive impact in this world. He wanted to make a difference. He looked out for everybody, the elderly as well as the children. If there was anything he could do, he was going to do it for you."
All he'd ever wanted to be, his mother said, was a husband and father.
"He married the love of his life, his high school sweetheart," Alice said. "They've been together since they were 13."
As he watched his two daughters grow, Waylon came to feel he'd let work get in the way of raising Bria and Whitney.
His first job was at Martin Gas. Waylon went on to Schlumberger, Halliburton and other companies in the oilfield, climbing to field supervisor and, his ultimate goal, consultant.
His priorities evolved, though, in 2015: he left the oilfield.
"He said he wanted to be with his family more," Alice said. "He never went back. He was never going back. He felt like he had missed a lot with his children because he had been in the oilfield since college."
By March 2016, Waylon had earned his daycare director certification for his job as the director's assistant at KidsWorld.
"He was the comforter," helping a crying child transition from parent to daycare, says Bridget, a special education instructor at Kilgore ISD. "That'd make that parent feel safe."
Waylon subbed at KISD and thrived on the opportunity to set an example: "He was that father figure many of them needed. He could talk to them without raising his voice."
Waylon was invested in people – the young, the old, complete strangers – ministering to them in spiritual and practical ways.
"In every store we went in, he had to talk to everybody," according to Waylon's eldest daughter, Bria, a freshman in college. "We'd be in there for hours."
One of his favorite things to do was to take his young charges to get haircuts, she said, any youngster who needed a trim. It became a weekly excursion with the nephews.
He'd meticulously research the styles, Alice echoed. With their parents permission, it would be time for a change: "He'd just take them to the barbershop."
Waylon had been dubbed "Minister Waylon" as a half-joke long before he ever stepped foot on the path to a pulpit.
It became a reality, however: the Rev. Hunt offered his first sermon July 2, his birthday.
"He felt it was God calling. He surprised me," Bridget said, but no: "It wasn't really a surprise. You could see him changing."
It was visible, his mother agrees: "It was a transformation in him," she said.
Waylon completed Kilgore Police Department's Clergy & Police Alliance training in November.
His final appearance before New Hope Baptist Church came on Sunday when he led the invitation to discipleship prayer, first for his youngest daughter.
"He turned it and started praying for everybody," Bridget said, "the youth, his brother, his family."
According to Alice, "He said, 'I love my children so much I would take a bullet for them.' He said it Sunday morning."
"He wanted to really inspire the youth," Bria repeated, smiling at the memory of her dad visiting with her friends: "He used to embarrass me," she laughed, a fount of 'dad jokes.'
Waylon had plans to teach young boys life skills, Bridget added.
"He knew what you were going through," she added. "He just wanted to help the youth.
"That was part of his last prayer: they need to change because they're growing up in a different world than we grew up in."
His legacy, his family says, is captured in faith, family and serving others.
If Waylon had a final message, "Change," Bridget said. "Get right with the Lord.
"Know who Jesus is," Alice added. "Make this world a better place."

BOONE COUNTY, Ill. (WIFR) – The Centers for Disease Control says the Zika Virus is expected to spread as far north as St. Louis this year and with its travel north, the Boone County Health Department is making sure we are ready if the virus moves into the Stateline.
By this time last year nearly 6,000 people in the U.S. had been diagnosed with the Zika Virus. The CDC says only 175 have been diagnosed and the health officials want to keep that number low by reaching out to communities nationwide. Along with the CDC, the Boone County Health Department is giving us ways to stay protected as we travel.
"The most important thing to do with Zika and the best thing to do with Zika is simply prevent it. Wear your long sleeves. I know it's hot, but wear your long sleeves, keep US EPA bug repellent around, so you can keep these things from biting you," says Lyden Schuyler, a public health associate with the CDC.

Granting Permission
I don't know about you, but I am pretty worn out from this election season. More than ever, I am ready for us to get this over and done with; people are growing increasingly more unhinged.
As a way to combat the negative press, I decided to begin posting positive messages about wonderful women as a way to encourage my "sisters" and the young women coming up behind me. Of course, there are those who decided to turn it political. Probably because my first post of Anne Frank had a caption, "This is Anne Frank. Let's talk about feeling the entire government is against you and feeling attacked, shall we?" I admit it. That first one was a slam because I am tired of hearing the whining and complaining about someone feeling mistreated. I figure if you dish it out, you need to be able to take it. Otherwise, call all those you belittled and condemned during the primary season and apologize. Otherwise, talk to the hand cuz my ears aren't listening.
I also did a wonderful play on words, in my opinion. When sharing the stats for women attempting to "break the glass ceiling," I used the word "grab" but substituted the word, "opportunity." I can honestly say that wasn't meant to be a slam; just a play on words. That's all.
Which leads me to ask: Why do you think I need your permission to post on my personal Facebook wall? I'm a little confused.
I heard a pastor say the other day that entirely too many people are taking this election entirely too seriously and if we had taken it this seriously a year ago, we might be in an entirely different situation with our choices. But, of course, I need your permission to share the pastor's insight, right?
Still not seeing why anyone feels I need to ask their permission or gain their approval for what I choose to do with my Facebook page, my blog, or my life. I listen to the Holy Spirit. I will repeat (as I have said numerous times before), I'm not saying I am always right but I do try to follow where God leads me. If you feel offended by my talking about strong or successful women, here's a novel idea – don't read it.

15 Advantages of Love at Work & 19 Traits to Look For in a Potential Husband
Did you know that many executive and professional women either marry colleagues or remain single? You too can find love at work and have your career and your husband too. This is not just about colleagues. Look beyond to your clients, even your suppliers says Margaret Kent and Robert Feinschreiher, authors of 'Love at Work'. The divorce rate they say is likely to decline as more marriages happen at work because there is a close bond between people who work together. That's because you can understand the pressures your mate goes through, you can solve work-related problems together. You can help each other in ways not possible in a conventional relationship.
15 Advantages of Finding Love at Work
- *Your colleagues get to see the best side of you at work.
- *Your qualifications will make you look good in a social context.
- *Because you use your talent and energy and your concentration on the job you're at your mental best and that looks good.
- *You get the chance to show that you're articulate and intelligent, something you can hardly do at a noisy pub.
- *You don't go to work dressed to kill or with gobs of make –up. You're well-groomed and the less you look like a man-hunter, the less threatening you appear.
- *You have the business excuse to begin a conversation with any man you like.
- *Men can approach you easily with the same excuse.
- *Social activities related to work allow you to meet people you don't meet everyday.
- *You can use business and professional organizations to meet others in your field.
- *You can interact with men in an atmosphere free from sexual pressure.
- *Even if you don't make a good first impression, there's time enough to 'grow' on a man.
- *You're not likely to kiss frogs since only the able are hired.
- *You'll discover a lot about a man including his priorities by the decisions he makes.
- *Your colleagues could tell you more about him.
- *Since he's not on a date with you, you'll see the real him. You'll see him every day (well, almost) and so you'll know him pretty well, in fact.
You Don't Have the Time to Look for Love
People often say that they don't have the time to go out and mingle with the opposite sex because work pressure is too tight. Or by the time they reach the long-awaited weekend, they're too pooped to socialize. Well, in this case you don't have to worry about that since love could be right under your nose.
What to Look for in a Potential Husband at Work
- *Assertiveness
- *Capacity for stress, criticism, boredom
- *Compassion
- *Generosity with money or time
- *Honesty
- *Patience
- *Self-esteem
- *Sense of humour
- *Stability (dedication to a project or idea)
- *Temper
- *Energy
- *Habits
- *Intelligence
- *Lifestyle preferences
- *Manners
- *Sociability
- *Sophistication
- *Spending patterns
- *Competence
A final word of advice here: Just don't make a public show of love at work. Don't fall all over each other. You can do that only when no one is looking.

The rulebook for FWC is 142 pages long but the rules for large-scale battles actually take about 40 pages. The rest are scenarios, army lists and a system to play skirmish battles with a few changes to the rules. It does not include specific rules for solo play, but the game has some mechanics that work well for that purpose. These include the command system and the risk of "command blunders" that may ruin the best plans, and the possibility of hidden deployment and ambushes.
I have started playing some test games on a small dry-erase board, using forces of about 1000 points each, with tokens that I use for other large sci-fi battles and halving all distances. So far, I have tried a few simple encounters with different area terrain and obstacles on the field.
In my opinion, FWC is a bit more abstract than the other games I mentioned before. For instance, many units (including infantry) can attack infantry and armored vehicles equally well. This can be accepted if one considers that those units actually have different weapons systems or munitions for each target, that just are not explicitly modeled by the unit's profile. Likewise, reconnaissance and command units have simplified rules that model their roles, not necessarily simulate them.
There is little bookkeeping in FWC but some markers for suppressed units, as well as units that used opportunity fire can be very handy. The rules for movement, ranged fire (direct and indirect) and close assault are simple and consistent. The turn structure is essentially IGO-UGO but with the possibility of opportunity fire by the enemy. Given these features, the game moves at a good pace and I can imagine that good friendly games can be played with it.
Future War Commander seems to be a simple and consistent game. The command mechanics make the battles unpredictable and suitable for solo play. Although my test games have been fun with smallish 1000-point forces, I think that its abstractions will really pay when playing very large battles, where each battleforce has multiple battalions or even regiments.

Reading is both a learning process and a means of escape for me. Three excellent books have brought me pleasure lately, two of them poetry and one a novel that includes poetry.
Carol Goodman's THE GHOST ORCHID (Ballentine Books, 2006) weaves myth, history, poetry, mysticism and mystery into a tale that takes the reader on a journey of self-revelation with the main character Ellis Brooks. The Bosco estate, a retreat for artists and writers, also functions as a character by undergoing change and by impacting on the actions of those in residence. Adding a layer of luxury to the novel are the sonnets written by Goodman's husband Lee Slonimsky whose collection will soon be released by Ochises Press. The sonnet is one of my favorite forms to read and to write. Slonimsky's sonnets are among the very best I have seen in contemporary American letters. He brings the form to an exceptional level, and integrating his poems into the novel was a masterful stroke on the part of Goodman. I'd highly recommend this book to any reader, and it can be appreciated with a variety of perspectives. Goodman is an accomplished novelist who always spins a riveting and memorable tale.
Claudia Grinnell's CONDITIONS HORIZONTAL (Missing Consonant Press, 2001) is a collection of poems that illustrate why free verse is a complicated form. No one is more gifted than Grinnell when it comes to poetry, and reading this book has been sheer pleasure. I'll do a full review of it soon at Creative Writer US.
My publisher sent me a copy of THE POWOW RIVER ANTHOLOGY(Ocean Publishing, 2006), edited by Alfred Nicol. I've thoroughly enjoyed thumbing through this book—poems by Rhina Espaillat always ring well to the ear and the heart. I hadn't read Bill Coyle until now, and discovering his work was a special treat. I look forward to reading all the poems. The anthology is a collaboration by the Powow poets, a New England group spurred to action by Ms. Espaillat.
These books certainly brought some calming moments to a schedule that for me has been too hectic of late. This is my busiest year ever, with newspaper work, magazine work, online work, and my latest book about 40% complete. So time with a rewarding read is a great way for me to forget my own work. If you're looking for a good book that will soothe you like a friend, I highly recommend each of these.

On my way home I stopped to let Tansy wallow at the in-between where the lakes meet. While she submerged herself, I turned to look out over the bigger lake and noticed a pair of mallards courting. They hopped up out of the water on to the sheer, thin ice and I waited for it to break. It remained firm and they slipped and slid, waddling on their little, orange webs, across the ice, and I wondered if they wondered why the water was hard.
Later I found that the sun was still beckoning, so Tansy and I went back to the woods, this time just to walk to my Watching Log. Well, walking, sitting, and relaxing was my purpose, but Tansy's was to entertain me by repeatedly whacking the backs of my legs with her muddy stick in an effort to entertain me by letting me throw the stick into the swamp for her. In between tosses, I was able to sit on a dry patch of fairy moss and breathe in the coming spring. The red-wings are back, and the geese that fly over now have a new element to their calls. The ferns haven't yet begun to unfurl, but I can pull away leaves and old ferns to see the tightly curled fiddle-heads-to-be. I saw few bugs, and only one basking snake. I walked out into the swamp as far as i could manage on the old fern hummocks. Just as I intended to make the leap to one at jumping distance, I took a closer look at the branch I intended to grab for balance. It's a good thing I checked because it was entirely bristling with the sort of thorns you'd find on an old fashioned rose bush. I wondered what it was, and began noticing more and more of them. I've never seen them before, and without leaves I couldn't identify it. Do roses grow in swamps?
Tansy paddled toward me with her stick in her mouth, happy eyes glowing above the floating, green duckweed. I hastily retreated, knowing that I'd soon be the recipient of a swampy shake. This is nothing like a Shamrock Shake. I continued my walk along the edge of the swamp, sticking as close to the water as possible without skewering myself on autumn olives or the mysterious thorn bushes. I remember reading that life is found on the edges. The edges where land meets water or the edges where one type of habitat changes to another. These are where I focus.
I notice a tree with a tiny wild rose plant sprouting in the fork of the two main trunks. It amazes me how life finds footholds everywhere we let it. (Not that humans let it hold much!) I am admiringly grateful every year that even after such a long, cold, snowy time, life comes back. Every year it does this. All winter I walk or run in that woods and think, "There will come a day when there are green things here and I will be wearing shorts." and every summer I walk or run in that woods and think, "There will come a time when I am bundled into my warmest clothes and there will be nothing but snow and ice here." Both times are hard to imagine when they are so far away in time and experience.
While lying on the Watching Log, I hear two crows snarking at each other. Perhaps they aren't, really, it's just their tone of voice, but it seems cranky. In a pause of their conversation, I hear the laughing bird, (I don't know who it is), laugh at whatever the crows have been saying. It makes me laugh too, though for all I know, they're talking about me. I don't really have illusions like that though; I have utter respect for that woods. I know it has nothing to do with me and it goes on whether I put words to the page or snap its picture or not. It is impossible to take personally anything that goes on there. It just IS.
This is probably what I love best about how I feel there. It is a place and time that I can also just BE. There is no doing. There is no anxiety or worrying. Just Being. No expectations, no deadlines, no needs. Whether I notice that cool, gnarled piece of tree knot, it will still be there. All that happens around me has nothing to do with me. The red log that I noticed 2 years ago when it began to get softer, spongier, and full of the little lives that help it break down, is now only a fibrous sort of dirt. By the end of summer, there will be no trace of it. This is another wonder. Nature manages itself quite well without us.
I follow a deer trail back out to the human trail. I see where they have come down to drink at the water's edge. I love the smell of the black swamp muck, rich with growth. Soon there will be turtles and tadpoles. I leave with my mind, body, and spirit back in line, readjusted and awakened to what matters. Things are only things, and I too will someday be only a sort of dirt, ready to grow new life.

To strengthen cybersecurity defenses, researchers at Sandia National Laboratories want to learn how hackers think and respond as they attack computer networks.
For the study sponsored by the Defense Department, ethical hackers will wear monitors that measure their biological responses as they attack computers in a network simulation, according to documents seen by The Register.
While hackers participate in a capture the flag exercise, their biological responses will be collected and analyzed to learn how they think and react during the game. That information will help researchers determine what hardware and software are the easiest and hardest for hackers to infiltrate. It also will show how they cope with the challenge, both physically and mentally.
"Our goal is to understand which configurations are the most secure on average, and why," the documents said. "Thus, we intend for multiple participants to face the same challenges in order to produce statistical samples."
The participants would wear a high-end Empatica E4 wristband, The Register reported. The monitor measures blood volume pulse, which can be used to determine heart rate, heart rate variability and other cardiovascular features. It also has an electrodermal activity sensor that measures increases in response to stress, engagement and excitement, according to the Empatica website.
DOD has worked with biomedical monitors in the past. In 2015, the Air Force Research Laboratory's Tech Warrior exercises tested the BioStampRC Wearable Sensing Platform, a flexible and wearable patch that monitors performance and body signatures from electrocardiogram to temperature and transmits the data via Bluetooth to a handheld platform.

When autumn comes, it arrives carrying a number of well-known characteristics in its arms. The temperatures drop to become much more comfortable and cozy. The leaves on the trees change from green to the familiar oranges, yellows and reds, and kids are back in school. One of the other key signifiers of fall is the kickoff of the NFL football season, and for residents of Anne Arundel County, two teams dominate -- the Baltimore Ravens and the Washington Redskins.
The I-95 Football Rivalry
Are you a new resident of the area, or are you planning a move to the region? You should know that sports fans here take their football seriously! And when it comes to the professional game, there are two distinct teams to root for. But you've got to choose wisely because the two teams have a unique rivalry with fervent fans on either side.
For fans of the Washington Redskins and Baltimore Ravens, there are bigger rivalries. After all, the Ravens are in the AFC, while Washington plays in the NFC. As a result, the teams don't play each other that often. Ravens fans are known for their intense dislike of divisional rival, Pittsburgh, while Redskins supporters look forward to beating the Cowboys and Giants. But when Washington and Baltimore play each other, there's something about the proximity -- just 33 miles between the teams' home stadiums on I-95 -- that gives the rivalry an added boost.
If you're a football fan who is relocating to Anne Arundel County, there's no doubt that you'll be bringing your love of your favorite team with you. However, it's good to put some effort into your decision of which local NFL franchise to root for.
Baltimore or Washington?
Baltimore has had more recent success, having won the championship as recently as 2013. But the team is fairly new, by National Football League standards; they used to be the Cleveland Browns, but the team moved to Baltimore and changed its name back in 1996, effectively becoming an expansion team.
Washington is one of the oldest, proudest franchises in the league, and its history includes some of the legends of the sport, including former coach Vince Lombardi, for whom the championship trophy is named. Unfortunately, the team hasn't provided fans with much to feel good about in recent years.
Football Sundays in Anne Arundel County
Whether you lean more toward the Ravens or the Redskins, it's good to make a choice so you know what side you stand on when these two giants battle on the gridiron. Football season is here, and if you're planning on a move to the region, you also have to make an important choice about where you and your family will live!
Let me help you! I know this area extremely well, and I can make the process of finding your ideal home easy. Just give me a call at (301) 651-1261, or email me at email@example.com to find out how I can take you to the house (of your dreams)!
