A blacksmith was a person who forged iron, usually by repeatedly heating it in a furnace and hammering it on an anvil. The chief work of blacksmiths today is to shoe horses and to make or repair simple wrought-iron objects.
In the last millennium B.C., when the use of iron spread from the Middle East to Europe, the blacksmith equipped the warrior with much improved sword, dagger, and spearhead; the farmer with the first efficient axe and ploughshare; and the craftsman with better tools.
The medieval blacksmith, who left special arms and polished work to the armorer and whitesmith, wrought smelted iron into tools and equipment, for farm, house, and ship. He was a pioneer in burning coal and in building chimneys that provided a better draught for increasing the furnace temperature. However, at the end of the Middle Ages, cast-iron foundry products began to replace some work done by the smith.
After iron smelting was introduced in New England in 1643, the blacksmith's usefulness there increased greatly. Many colonists made their own nails, but they went to the smithy for felling-axes and mattocks, wagon-wheel rims and sleigh runners, chains and ploughs, and all the iron fittings for frame houses and schooners. Later, blacksmiths hammered out Benjamin Franklin's lightning rods and the guns of the minutemen.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, the blacksmith lost most of his traditional importance because of the growth of large-scale industry; however, the common surname "Smith" is a reminder that every village had a blacksmith.

It was a fine Monday morning. It drizzled for a little bit so the plants outside looked fresh with an illusion of dew drops on them. When the light raining stopped, I decided to grab some breakfast in one of my favorite places with the one person I know would enjoy that kind of cool romantic weather: Myself.I wore this midnight blue dress. Paired it with a red bag. Threw on a vibrant scarf bought by my dad for me from Cambodia. And put my hair up. I wanted to look a little presidential. (Well, i tried haha).
Hailed a cab and fifteen minutes after, I was in my happy place. 🙂
Breadtalk, Greenbelt. haha. That time, this bakery-cum-cafe has just newly opened so not a lot of people have heard about it yet. I've been going to this place for when I want to spend time alone and almost always, I was lucky enough to have the entire second floor all to myself.
Ordered some bread (not in the photo), and then went on to savor this perfect tiramisu cake with a coffee latte on the side. I spent around two hours pretending I was in a cafe in Paris, eating slowly my very french food (pastries and coffee, don't argue lol) while writing on my journal and evaluating my life.
It was a very inspiring moment, what with my delicious food and the music being played. Famous songs were made mellow by the bossa nova beat. Viva La Vida. how very apt. Life is indeed worth celebrating, however simple. 🙂
My date was very pleased. She has always loved this kind of leisure. For her, being with me was always a dear experience, in its own understated way.
Then we both wondered, why are a lot of people so scared of being alone? If they only see past the part where they think being seen hanging out with no one but themselves will make them a loser, perhaps they'd also discover the secret sweetness there is in dining out alone, seeing a movie alone, walking nearly a mile alone with just our music and our thoughts as company.
Now don't get me wrong – being with friends is great. But don't you crave for a day where you don't have to consider anybody else's preferences, taste, time or budget? Where your decision is only yours to make. Where you can embrace your hidden weirdness without having to fear judgment (no matter how light) from others?
But more importantly, spending time with ourselves once in a while gives us some space to reflect on our lives. Are we currently where we want to be? Have we been good persons lately? What are the things we need to improve on to be better versions of ourselves? What do we do next, what do we have to change so that we can be happier? Sometimes, we are too busy attending to others we lose our own identity and we forget our dreams and plans for ourselves. Being alone once in a while provides us some time to assess our own lives and it gives us an opportunity to plan them accordingly, without any external elements influencing our thoughts and mindset.
So go ahead… find your own happy place and try to treat yourself once in a while. Find comfort in the company of yourself and free your spirit from the dictates of society. Take a selfie. Photograph your food. Talk to strangers that you will never meet again. Pretend you're a princess, or a pretty Parisienne (ehem). Find joy in immersing yourself with your own thoughts or in silently observing the world around you. Trust me, it's not that hard. 🙂

The Ryedale
A good B&B in Shanklin
Nice B&B convenient for the Station and Buses (1 min), Town Centre (5-10 mins) and Seafront (10-15mins). Good Wifi and good breakfast. Comfortable bed. Shanklin is one of the better places to stay on the Island with a good choice of restaurants and shops. It has a good train service to Sandown and Ryde (for the Portmouth FastCat and Hovercraft). It also has a good ranges of frequent buses to Ryde, Sandown, Newport and Ventnor and also a less frequent service to Blackgang, Alum Bay, The Needles and Yarmouth - making it ideal for visitors without their own car.
The Ryedale
Five Star Friendly Service.
On arrival I was worried about car parking, but John our host supplied us with a free parking pass that we could use at the local train station only two minutes away. The service and the many little extras were excellent. The breakfast was probably the best that I have ever had in a B&B for both choice and quality. My only moan was that our room (7) faced the road and we were disturbed by passing traffic noise in the early morning.
The Ryedale
Brilliant stay, a truly great B&B. Very friendly, good location. All one needs is provided and a few extra nice touches. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else on the IOW. Many thanks!

Savvy Blogging to share your Blog goals, I firmed these up and decided share them to my readers (at least you'll keep me honest!)
Creatively Domestic Blog Goals for 2010:
To increase pageviews from an average 2,600 a month to 4,100 a month (56% increase) by the end of 2010
Action Plan:
1. Quality posts - no phoning it in! :)
2. Leave 1-2 "quality" comments a day at other blogs
3. Respond to commentors to my site by either returning a blog comment or sending an email
4. Create free pdf downloads (Menu Planner, or Household Tasks) - Have a new pdf download up every 3 months.
5. Hook up to more blog carnivals
6. Submit more links to Tip Junkie and other collection sites
7. Respond to guest post offers
Organization- Spend more time building blog connections during the week, not struggling to throw together posts
Action Plan:
1. Set all posts for the week during the weekend, so I can spend the week commenting and linking up to other sites
2. Hook up to more blog carnivals
Improve quality of posts
Action Plan:
1. Revise recipes found online so it's not such a cut & paste recipe; make recipes "my own"

I sit on my porch avoiding real work, doing only virtual work, and the hummingbird is back again. Her hum is not the content sweetness of summer, but is somewhat puzzled and bordering on angry. She chirps at me, demanding to know why the feeder is not filled. I tell her that soon it will be Labor Day and therefore, time for her to go. She won't hear of it, and she gestures at the blue sky and sunny yard full of blooms. "Why should I go on your schedule?" she wants to know.
Are the rules about wearing white, putting in and taking out docks, and providing hummingbird food hard and fast ones? Do we get any leeway? I think the wearing-white rule is now defunct. The hummingbird would like me to put in a word for her as well.

Govt sends second notice to Facebook, CA; seeks response by May 10
Cambridge Analytica denies using Indians' data, govt to seek clarification
Facebook data scandal: Cambridge Analytica files for bankruptcy in US
Facebook confirms data of 2.7 mn Europeans 'improperly shared', says EU
Facebook data breach: Zuckerberg to testify before US Congress on Apr 11
The government today sought an explanation from Facebook by June 20 on reports that it shared information of users with mobile device makers.
Taking suo-motu note of reports, the IT Ministry has also asked for a detailed factual report.
"Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology has sought an explanation from Facebook seeking a detailed factual report on the issue," an official statement said.
The statement said the recent reports claiming that Facebook has agreements, which allow phone and other device manufacturers to access its users' personal information, including that of their friends without taking their explicit consent.
"The Government of India is deeply concerned about reports of such lapses/ violations," the statement said.
It said that in response to earlier notices about breaches of personal data relating to the Cambridge Analytica episode, Facebook had apologised and given strong assurances to the government that they would take sincere efforts to protect the privacy of users' data on the platform.
"However, such reports raise uncomfortable questions about the assurances made by Facebook," the statement said.
In case of data leaks to Cambridge Analytica, Facebook had admitted 335 people in India were directly affected through an app installation, and another 5,62,120 people were potentially affected as friends of those users.

The thing that puzzles me still is that poster from yesterday left off at least 3 figures. Terrafin, Warnado and Whamshell (represented by his Series 1 pose below). The real Whamshell Series 2 has no been seen yet so it could be removed. We have seen the LC Warnado figure but nothing official so it could be removed. But we have seen Knockout Terrafin. You can preorder him right now. So why wasn't he on that poster? I don't have the answer. Does anyone out there? The WSK are starting to ask questions.
Wait was that poster made up and we all fell for it?
This is my creation I have pulled together from random sources around the internet.
Here is another version, just a different background.
Ok, one more with a smaller logo and the catchphrase or slogan.

Bonjour Anne ! I'm afraid you're mixing two different lessons :) To say "in/to" + city, you always use "à", regardless of spelling.

The next revised piece comes from my brother Chad Austin. While staying pretty true to the original with the language, the ending reveals a different theme than the one I thought we were working with while doing the collaboration.
Bird Song
I can't wait to remember
all the things I 've forgotten
memories like fallen leaves
litter forest floor, naked trees shivering
watching sunlight tiptoe
slipping between the shadows
of consciousness, breathe deep
fill the empty space with
sweet, damp smells
black earth oozing between bare toes
the rot of nostalgia
like grandfather's attic
packing and unpacking trunks
that carried dreams to a new land
now gathering dust and photographs
left with a sick feeling in
the pit like decomposing fruit
a recognized relic, grandmother's
hat box stuffed with letters, and a feather
bird song shatters my silence

Devin the Dude makes best 1998 album list
There are pleasant surprises and then there's Pitchfork's new 50 best albums of 1998, celebrating recordings that turn(ed) 20 years old this year. The usual suspects from the indie/alterna/electro worlds are all present: OutKast, Beck, Cat Power, Lauryn Hill, PJ Harvey, Elliott Smith, Neutral Milk Hotel.
Perhaps the biggest surprise is the very first recording that shows up on the list. At No. 50, sitting on the toilet, smoking a joint, reading the "Houston Chronic" is Devin the Dude on the distinctive cover of his "The Dude" album.
"It's difficult for rap to sound timeless," Matthew Schnipper writes.
Devin's solution? "Sounding like a muppet with a cold, the Houston-based Devin raps about his devotion to marijuana and watching the world go by."
More than a fifth of the list consisted of rap albums, but Devin was by far the most underground among them on a list that included such names as Jay-Z and DMX. It's not likely to change his fortunes in any great way. But nice to know somebody out there was listening.
And it was pretty much the sole Houston album on the list. There was no Beyonce record -- in fact, 1998 saw the release of Destiny's Child's first album. The closest this city got to another entry was "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road," by Lucinda Williams, who lived in Houston at times during the '80s.

WASHINGTON (Sept. 11, 2014) -- The Humane Society Legislative Fund, the nation's leading political advocacy organization for animal welfare, announces its endorsement of Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber for re-election. Citing his support of animal protection policies, the HSLF urges voters in Oregon to support Kitzhaber in November's general election.
"During his time as governor, John Kitzhaber has been a stalwart advocate for animal welfare, and Oregon has become one of the top five states in the nation on animal protection policy," said Wayne Pacelle, executive vice president of the HSLF. "We urge voters who care about the humane treatment of animals to re-elect Governor Kitzhaber."
While serving as Oregon's Governor, Kitzhaber has:
- Signed a bill into law to restricting the chaining and tethering of dogs throughout the state. He invited a group of schoolchildren to the bill signing ceremony, using it as an opportunity to teach children that sometimes laws have to be passed to ensure people are kind to animals. (HB 2783B)
- Signed a bill into law which prohibits people from possessing, selling, trading or distributing shark fins. The Governor's office took the added step of filing a written statement of opposition when the Obama Administration threatened to pass a regulation which would have nullified all state laws dealing with shark fins. (HB 2838)
- Signed a bill protecting human and animal survivors of domestic violence by adding companion, service and therapy animals to the Family Abuse Prevention Act. (SB 616)
- Signed legislation to ban a cruel rodeo event called horse tripping, which involves roping the front legs of a galloping horse, causing it to crash violently into the ground. An avid horse lover, Gov. Kitzhaber took action to ensure the law was enforced after some rodeo organizers and a county sheriff indicated that they might not follow the law. (SB 835)
- Repeatedly registered his opposition to bills that would repeal Measure 18, a law passed by Oregon voters in 1994 to ban the use of dogs to hunt bears and cougars and bait to hunt bears. He has stated that the wishes of the voters on this matter should be respected and upheld.

Office 2003 this OctoberBy Julio Franco
The final details came with the expected announcement that the core Office applications are complete and ready for distribution to PC manufacturers, who need to test the software in preparation for loading it on new computers.
As expected, retail pricing for various Office packages will be identical to the recently reduced prices for their counterparts in Office XP, the current version of the software. It also matches lower prices Microsoft introduced last week for the Mac version of Office. The standard edition of Office 2003 will sell for $399, the professional edition will go for $499 and the increasingly popular student/teacher version will cost $149.

I got turned away at the door. They don`t want any media coverage.
Say what? The people we hope will be defending the media against encroachments on freedom of the press want to hold their meeting behind closed doors?
We should be very concerned that people that tone deaf are the same people we might need to hire to defend us one day. With friends like these…
I agree with her:
Today I hoped to hear Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin`s keynote speech on libel and various panels on libel chill, and what the conference bills as "The New Fair Comment Defense" in the Supreme's Rafe Mair v. Kari Simpson case. While Ezra thinks the case expands fair comment, I am among the doubters who thinks it merely signals that the most unreasonable hallmarks of hate (see sec. f.iii) can be used against conservative Christians and that's fair comment, but try it against any other group and the fair comment options suddenly shrink dramatically.

Price: $7.99 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.08 oz / 2.5 mL
The Revlon ColorStay Skinny Liquid Liner in Black Out is a matte black liquid liner with a very skinny brush. It comes in a typical cone shaped liquid liner package.
The brush of this liner is very thin, much thinner than typical liquid liners, which you can see when it's compared to the original Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner. The only downside to the liner's brush is that it is kind of long and flimsy, which can make application difficult for people that are used to shorter, stiffer applicators. It also makes drawing a line that isn't straight difficult, as you can see in the wavy swatch. The product inside is quite nice, it's very black and doesn't really need to be built up to achieve an opaque line. If you find that typical liquid liners make lines too thick for your liking, this liner would be perfect for you!

Arkansas thought it was hot stuff a moment ago, then got its ass kicked Saturday by Kentucky. But might that just set the Hogs up for a "bounce-back" play when they visit South Carolina Thursday night?
Hogs-Gamecocks Betting Odds
The NCAA Basketball odds opened this game with Arkansas favored by two points; many books then bumped the Hogs to -3 in the early action.
Hogs-Gamecocks: The Set-Up
Arkansas had won seven games in a row, until laying a big egg at Kentucky Saturday 84-67. The Hogs looked absolutely terrible, even intimidated, trailing by 16 at the half and 31 in the second half, failing against the spread as 15-point underdogs.
Arkansas shot just 38 percent from the floor Saturday, and just five-for-18 from 3-point range, missing its first nine trifecta tries in a row. We were surprised to see in the boxscore that the Hogs "only" turned the ball over 12 times Saturday; it seemed like a lot more than that.
Even with its recent winning streak Arkansas is 0-4 ATS over its last four games. Last Tuesday the Hogs beat Texas A&M 81-75, but missed on the cover at -7.
Nonetheless, at 23-6 overall, 12-4 in SEC play Arkansas is heading back to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2008. And the Hogs only need one win in their last two games, or a little help from elsewhere, to secure a double-bye for next week's SEC tournament.
South Carolina started 9-3 through non-conference play this season, but has gone just 5-11 in SEC play. Last time out the Gamecocks snapped a two-game losing streak, beating Mississippi State 81-68, covering as nine-point favorites. But that outcome probably tells us less about SC and more about how bad the Bulldogs are.
The Gamecocks only led MSU by five points early in the second half, but took over from there, earning just their third cover in SEC play. Also, the 81 points SC scored Saturday was its most in conference play this season by a long shot; its previous high was 68.
Last Wednesday South Carolina lost at Alabama 59-51, and just before that the 'Cocks lost at home to Texas A&M 62-52.
At 14-14 overall, 10-16 ATS this season South Carolina remains, at best, a work in progress under Coach Martin, and a poor betting proposition.
Max Out Tonight's Profit With These Free Top ATS Picks
Key Stats
South Carolina is shooting just 40 percent from the field this season, and 29 percent from 3-point land, but holding opponents to just 39 percent FG shooting, which ranks in the top 20 in the country.
Arkansas is shooting 45 percent from the floor, while holding opponents to 43 percent shooting.
The Recent Rivalry
These teams have alternated wins over the last eight games in this series, following Arkansas' 75-55 victory over SC back a month ago in Fayetteville. The Hogs led that game by seven at the half, then broke away in the second half, and covered as eight-point favorites.
Arkansas only shot 39 percent from the floor that game, but held the Gamecocks to 28 percent shooting and won the turnover battle by a 20-9 margin.
That game also stayed UNDER its total of 141.
Hogs-Gamecocks Betting Trends
Arkansas is 15-12 on the totals this season, as Hogs games have averaged 149 points.
South Carolina is trending toward the UNDERS this season by a 16-8 margin, as Gamecocks games have averaged 127 points.
Hogs-Gamecocks Free Pick
We totally whiffed with Arkansas against Kentucky Saturday, but at least the Hogs got that stinker out of their system. Now they can forge ahead and try to do some damage from here on out. So in figuring Arkansas might bounce back from Saturday's debacle we'll take the Hogs tonight, the better team at a short spread with our NCAA basketball picks.

Cape Hawke, Black Head and Forster chase championship honours
THE Lower North Coast Surf Life Saving Branch championship will not be decided until the board riding to be held in the Great Lakes area late next month.
The opens and masters carnival was held at Forster Main Beach. Cape Hawke, Forster and Black Head are the three leading clubs vying for the overall championship.
Standout competitors were Julian Boag from Black Head and Clair Van Kampen, Cape Hawke in the surf and Alicia Williams, Forster and Adam Mulligan, Cape Hawke on the beach – Mulligan showing a clean pair of heels to defeat the youngsters in the open beach sprint.
The Boag family – Jullian, Callum and their dad, Kevin from Black Head – was too strong for their rivals in the open taplin relay.
Host club Forster proved to be far too strong in all areas in the nippers carnival held on Sunday. Although the final points tally has to be completed Forster will be clear winners.
"This is a credit to Beth and Simon Lee for the time their put into Forster nippers training and administration,'' Lower North Coast surf sports director Terry Aldridge said.
The surf picked up for Sunday's events and was three to four foot with a testing shore break.
"The surf skills in the conditions by these young lifesaver was fantastic again a credit to all the clubs coaches,'' Mr Aldridge said.
Stand out competitors were:
Under eights: Blake Taylor (Forster), Bronte Kippax (Black Head), Annabelle Martin (Pacific Palms).
Under nines: Kilani Ryan (Cape Hawke).
Under 10s: Isabella Fitzgerald (Cape Hawke), Harrison Tankard (Black Head).
Under 11s: James Williams (Forster).
Under 12s Brooke Hosgood (Crowdy Head), Will Dransfield (Pacific Palms).
Under 13s: Sage Sercombe-McLean (Pacific Palms), Braden Lee (Forster).
Under 14s: Abby Mulligan (Cape Hawke).
Carnival referees were Gary Curtis (Saturday) and Bernadette Nicholson (Sunday).

The Grameen Foundation and $27.00
Microfinancing to end global poverty. In short, that is what the Grameen Foundation is about. Can you give $27 a month? Or once, even? That's what started this whole venture. Read all about it here.
Give up a pizza, save a life
Stop TB Partnership is connected with the World Health Organization. I bet many of you have never met someone with tuberculosis. I have. She had to take special medication for about a year. She was fine. But she was lucky to have easy access to that medication. Many don't and many die from TB... still. So this is a good place to put your $20. A nice website with lots of information, too.
A great Native American Resource
I was happy to find the Adopt-A-Native-Elder Program. Happy because they have a four star Charity Navigator rating and happy to see elders being supported. There are many options for giving here so it was hard to assign it a category. And then another four star Native American organization called The Native American Heritage Association which operates in South Dakota. This was another one with many options to give, but for now it is in the $25 category.
Added FreeRice. Not just vocabulary, either!
Added Reader To Reader. [My day job!]
Added One Brick. Good for those in their twenties and thirties I think.
Added Save The Children's program in Ethiopia. It's interesting to see that they have made the sponsor relationship web-based.
Another book and three more sites
Just started reading Give A Little, by Wendy Smith and already felt it should be added to the list. She also has a website here.
Added Feeding America and the Darfur Stove Project. I think the Darfur Stove Project is a really inspiring project.
Also added NothingButNets which stops the spread of malaria.

text: Hot stud Derrek Diamond returns to see if he can get his first win after ending up on bottom in both of his previous matches. He's maintained his flexibility and started doing cardio training in order to finally be on the dominating end of the sex round. And equally hot stud, Andrew Blue is new to NK and is relying on his past of drunken brawling to get him through the day. Derrek has a lot to prove but Andrew doesn't want to be on the receiving end of a first-time loss. It's the macho thing. Nobody wants to lose on Naked Kombat and be treated like a bitch in the Sex Round

Any reason why need to change name of libray function?
I don't think it is a good thing to rename library function. If I need to, I will do something like
char myPutChar(char ip)
return putchar(ip);
then call myPutchar() later on.
2. Re: PSOC3 using C51 libudayan.umapathi Nov 30, 2011 11:17 PM (in response to schurtz.li)
Could you tell us why you are trying to do this ?
3. Re: PSOC3 using C51 libschurtz.li Dec 1, 2011 8:07 PM (in response to schurtz.li)
Thanks very much for your reply.
Sure, it can be done by retargeting to a function named differently. What puzzled me is the difference for retartgeting functions in Creator. In KEIL, both functions can be redefined directly.
4. Re: PSOC3 using C51 libschurtz.li Dec 1, 2011 8:20 PM (in response to schurtz.li)
For your question about my senario: getchar() can't be redefined in creator. So I can't use scanf() directly in Creator now.

About This Workshop
With a focus on short form storytelling, the purpose of this course is to make the students proficient in the art of improvising short scenes as played in an improv match.
Every lesson will be structured in three parts :
- A brief introduction of the concepts that will be studied and what will be expected of the students in each exercise.
- Warm-Up
- Exercises – most of which will be systematically debriefed.
The course is essentially focused on Robert Gravel's match format, Keith Johnstone style of improv and on understanding the codes of genres. The match format is both extremely fun and full of learnings. This format will teach the students how to avoid fear mechanisms and killing a story. The genres that will be explored include: action, drama, romantic comedy, spy movie, absurd theatre, Tennessee Williams, Shakespeare, etc.
Through the study of the match games, you will be able to understand the focus of any game and how to make it interesting for the audience. Also, the tremendous advantage of the match format is that it creates a team spirit. By the end of the course, the improvisers will be completely able to play a match in front of an audience which will be the final result of the course. Improvisers will be able to act both as a player or as the referee.
After the 8 weeks, competitive improv match team(s) will be formed, ready to take the stage.
Each semester culminates in a showcase of skills for the public.
Participants will be paid a percentage of the box office to incentivise professional work.

NASA satellite images of the Antarctica hole in the ozone layer indicate that for the second straight year now the ozone hole has been below the average of the past decades. While one year is not enough data to conclude the improvement trend will continue, 2012 saw the second smallest hole in two decades. More importantly perhaps is that "minimum value of total ozone in the ozone hole was the second highest level in two decades." In ordinary language that means there is probably more ozone now than there has been in twenty years.
The ozone layer became a household word in the 1980's when scientists who had been monitoring the annual appearance of the Antarctica hole for several years reported that ozone was being destroyed by the products containing chemicals called CFC's. These products were very commonly used as propellants in spray cans for everything from paint to hair spray.
In 1987 most developing countries in the world agreed to reduce the widespread use many chemicals connected with the measurable reduction being observed in the ozone layer and most importantly, the increase in the size of the annual hole which develops over Antarctica.
Ozone is formed when there is a combining of three oxygen atoms (O3). We benefit from this rather unstable arrangement of oxygen in much of our daily lives. We use ozone as bleach, or in deodorants. Many public utility services use them to sterilize water for drinking. Many buildings and a growing number of homes even have air purification systems which use ozone. What is does for Earth is act as a filter of harmful ultraviolet sunlight. The sun's rays categorized as UV-B are reported to be the most harmful form of sunlight; being credited as the primary cause of melanoma cancer.
As far as anyone can actually determine, the ozone layer contained within the lower sections of the stratosphere has been blanketing the earth for as long as Earth has had a multi-layered atmosphere. The layer starts at just about 50,000 feet above the surface and varies in thickness with the seasons. While many commercial planes routinely fly in the lower regions of the layer, few people other than the military ever exceed the roughly 110,000 feet of altitude which marks the typical maximum height. While the function of being a UV-B filter is widely accepted, the ideal thickness of the layer is undetermined as other factors such as acting as an insulating barrier might well contribute to climate changes. There is plenty of room for the ozone layer to expand since the stratosphere continues to approximately 170,000 feet of altitude
Because of the many unknowns about the effects of a either an increase or reduction in the thickness of the ozone layer, and the popularity of ozone in sterilization systems, the question is often asked; can ozone be good and bad at the same time? This is one reason that NASA has joined with other agencies to monitor the ozone over Antarctica. And when the record reductions in ozone layer loss was observed these past two years, the climate change debate took new directions for many who would expand government control based on global warming or man-made atmospheric destruction.
While the EPA continues to call for its control to be increased over consumer and industrial products based reports that the risk of melanoma has "more than doubled" since 1990, the latest measurements by NASA seem to contradict their claim. There has developed a general concensus among ozone monitoring stations on the surface and in orbit is that the good ozone layer has improved since the 1990's.
If it is true, as NASA reports, that the famous Antarctica hole in the ozone is exceptionally smaller this year, and even set a record for its reduced size last year, how can the EPA report also be true that melanoma risks due to ozone layer depletion are greater than ever?

How To Prepare For A 3D Wall Panel Installation
The 3D wall panel is one of the best things one can use to change the look of their home which is a transformation that needs time and if your decoration skills are not perfect, hiring a firm would be the best thing one can do. If these walls had some lights added on them, it will not only make your room look great which would be amazing to most people trying to get that amazing look they have wanted. If you want to test your design skills, these walls are your exit plan for they guide one on knowing how modern interior design is done.
Check The Walls Where The Panel Will Be Installed
The surface of your wall must be checked by
Flooring company
experts to see that it is in the best condition before one adds a 3D wall panel on it.
Choose The Walls That Seem To Be Better
Home renovations are projects that most people do not like getting involved in and can be a challenging task for each member; however, these panels help people break from norm and do something more interesting.
Look For Custom Made Panels
Everyone's personality is different, and people will want different things in when it comes to the texture and the features one wants in a wall that is why an individual has to ask the
contracting company
if they specialize in custom made items.
Planning How The Tiles Will Be Placed
One has to look for an expert that will guide you on how the tiles must be placed as an assurance there will be some uniformity when it comes to the overall result.
Know The Paint Needed For The Panels
Paint these walls with the color of your choice and do not feel pressured to stick to the colors in your house since a person has a chance of picking other colors that contrast or are almost resemble what already exists.
Have Your Budget In Mind
When one is doing any investment, proper budget plan should be in place so that one does not end up using more money than what was in the budget.
Work Towards Getting The Look That Should Be Desired
A person has to look at the scenario from every angle and you should know how to react if one fails to get the result they expected.
People prefer installing 3D wall panel because they assist in reducing the amount of heat being lost, has fireproof material and reducing the amount of moisture being absorbed in the house. Check this website

Research shows that the integration of physical and mental healthcare in paediatric settings is beneficial in terms of clinical and cost effectiveness (Kahana, Drotar, & Frazier, 2008; Douglas & Benson 2008, Griffin & Christie, 2008). Due to the high rates of mental health problems within this population, several studies have shown that referral to paediatric psychology should be increased (e.g. Wagner & Smith, 2007). However, there are few studies investigating factors influencing healthcare professionals' referral behaviour.
The current study used theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1988; 1991) to develop a questionnaire which explores factors influencing the referral of children and families to paediatric psychology. Psychometric properties of the questionnaire were examined.
Findings indicate that the questionnaire holds good reliability and validity and that the main constructs of theory of planned behaviour are useful in predicting intention to refer to paediatric psychology. Specific beliefs about referral were also shown to influence intention to refer.
Findings that individual referrer factors such as attitudes and beliefs can impact healthcare professionals' referral behaviour indicates that multidisciplinary interventions and inter-professional education relating to the psychological aspects of illness are required. Recommendations for future research are discussed.

The gameplay of Invizimals has been compared to the Pokémon series, involving players capturing and raising different species of creatures, and allowing the player to battle with them, either against an AI or with others using the PSP's wireless abilities. Unlike Pokémon however, Invizimals requires the player to hunt and capture these creatures within the real world, using the concept of augmented reality, a camera attachment for the PlayStation Portable, and a physical "trap" square-shaped device used as a fiduciary marker. These monsters are spawned at different environments (determined by colors of surfaces and time of day), and the trap is used to capture the monsters. Once captured, players are able to raise and level their monsters, and allow them to learn different attacks that can be used in battle. Players can also use the trap to view their monsters, and take pictures of their collection.

Fr Michael Bennett, a priest with the St Patrick's Missionary Society based in Wicklow (Kiltegan Fathers), has contributed a guest post for this blog on the crisis in the Irish Catholic Church. The first instalment follows below.
Fr Michael is currently serving in South Africa. He also has worked in Zimbabwe and Kenya. Fr Michael is a graduate of my School's Master's in Reconciliation Studies, and officiated – along with Rev Dr Johnston McMaster of the Methodist Church in Ireland – at my wedding!
He has written a great deal that is relevant and insightful, and I will post his reflections in instalments over the coming week.
A Look from Afar: Part One – Understandings of the 'Church'
In recent weeks I have spent many hours trawling through the Murphy Report and am left feeling shocked and saddened at its revelations. It is tragic that it has taken the paedophile crisis – the horrors done to the most vulnerable and most innocent – to reveal the extent to which a culture of control and secrecy has dominated a section of the church.
I have also been reading in recent days some of the many articles and comments related to this and other issues on Gladys' progressive website. I hope that this article – written from a Catholic perspective and from outside the country – will contribute something to the discussion.
From the outset let me clarify my understanding of church. There are a number of layers and each layer awakens images and thoughts:
1. The church as institution: the hierarchy; the senior clerics that represent the institution in the public domain; the link between the local church and the universal church. The clerical and controlling face of the hierarchy seems to linger on the Irish church.
2. The church as 'people of God': the ordinary people on their knees each Sunday morning, many of whom are hurt, lost and confused at the present time. Understandably some of this group have recently left the pews; the vast majority remain, struggle on, seek guidance and grace.
3. The prophetic church which offers a counter-cultural perspective. Wherever a culture of power, control, status, materialism and greed exists, a counter-cultural perspective is provided by those in church (and society) who stand for justice, human rights, human dignity and the integrity of creation. Some write about these issues and in this context Glady's web-site assumes its niche. In particular, I have been impressed by the number of her book/article reviews, challenged by the insightful writing of Fintan O'Toole (see O'Toole's most recent analysis of the crisis in the church in this weekend's Irish Times) and the material produced by Social Justice Ireland (SJI).
4. The ecumenical church: the legacy of historical acrimony and doctrinal difference does not easily recede, despite the huge theological and pastoral efforts made in recent decades. Ecumenical barriers today reflect an historical mindset which is as much emotional as doctrinal. Changing mindsets involves changing hearts. What Christians hold in common is much greater than their differences: a common sacrament of baptism, a common creed, a common prayer (the Lord's Prayer), a common commitment to Christ. Where greater understanding and reconciliation are sought between the different denominations, a more authentic engagement between Christianity and other religions, and with the secular world, will be possible.
Putting these four layers side by side does not mean that there is no overlapping between them. Prophets are found in pews, just as some bishops are committed ecumenists. At this time of crisis, however, it is the first layer that is being castigated. Where a culture of control, secrecy and denial continues to exist it must be exposed and removed. This seems to be happening at an extraordinary and necessary speed in Ireland.
Some of the articles/comments on the web-site seem to be saying that change/repentance is too late, that it is more notional than real, that it makes no difference if more senior clerics resign, that the 'horse has already bolted from the stable'. My contention is that there is need for horses in the stable but the stable needs to be thoroughly cleansed, all the dung removed, new straw and bedding placed. The more this happens now – however painful it may be – the greater the hope for the future.
A number of bishops have resigned; lingering practices of pomp and splendour are severely critiqued; kissing of rings is ridiculed. The latter is about sociology, not theology. Regalia seems so distant from the one who humbled himself to death on the cross. The need for radical change is obvious.
A vision for 'cleansing the stable' is provided by Jesus himself. Jesus the layman had little truck with layer 1 of his time. He constantly speaks about the 'Law of Moses' ('as Moses says') – which refers to the social organisation of the Jewish people found in Deuteronomy – rather than the 'Law of the Lord' which is associated with the Levitical priesthood. The Levitical priests were temple functionaries; Jesus was certainly not one of them.
Instead Jesus seems to be in regular conflict with the leaders of institutional religion, the scribes and the Pharisees. His parables suggest as much. It is the temple priests (layer 1) who pass by the wounded man while the Good Samaritan (layer 2 or 3) cares for him. Jesus provides a visual example of what cleansing looks like by assuming the position of a house-slave and washing his disciples feet. 'You must do the same … copy me'. His command is clear.
Paul reminds us that Jesus 'emptied himself', 'gave himself', 'humbled himself'. This 'self-giving in love' is a recipe for disciples of Jesus in any age, but an embarrassment to those who wish to be comfortable members of a 'Christian club'. Discipleship always means reaching out to the discomforting edge rather that settling for mediocrity at the comfortable centre. Jesus did choose a group of apostles who would occupy layer 1, but being first meant being last and a servant of all, especially the most marginal and vulnerable.
Can one look to the future and see a humbled and renewed serving church?
Is the legacy of the past so overwhelming that there is no way forward?
I have no easy answers and my geographical location (writing in South Africa) does not help as I am emotionally separated from the pulse of the Irish scene. However, separation also provides some space for reflection. A number of points come to mind as to a possible way forward.
(Stay tuned for further posts on the way forward)

Research is on to figure out ways of effectively recycling internal repairs, and in some cases, external repairs too. Worst is the situation, when you have to call a plumber this material, which is also used in radiant floor heating installation.

First things first.......
IT'S SUMMER!!! And I'm free!!!! (At least until August)
I have been absent for the last two weeks because of finals week. It's been a crazy time my friends, I was so stressed it was like an outer body experience. I'm just glad it's over.
Well my mom is in Greece still (not for vacay... that's where all my family lives and she is helping her mother after surgery) and my dad has been going out to eat for every meal because there is no woman in the house.
If you didn't know any better, you'd think my dad was a bachelor with the empty fridge and fast food left overs.
Well the night I came home, I went on my Pinterest, wrote down all the ingredients to the recipe's in my "Nom Nom" board, and then my dad gave me the credit card and I went nuts for 2 hours in the grocery store.

Unless we act now, most albatross species will become extinct.
You can click on the above image to go directly to their website or click on the various links here that Jasper has provided.
Albatrosses are among the largest flying birds. They soar thousands of miles across oceans without pause. Their only need to touch land is to nest and raise young. They mate for life and the males and females share in the incubation of the egg. READ MORE
Why are albatrosses amazing? Albatrosses are true ocean-going birds. To survive their life on the ocean wave, albatrosses are perfectly adapted to survive in one of our planet's most extreme environments. More...
Species at risk
The threats faced by albatrosses are many and varied, so it is hardly surprising albatross numbers have declined at such an alarming rate that 18 of the world's 22 albatross species are at risk. More...
It's great to see countries working together to save birds. All the organizations listed below have joined their talents and passion to help albatrosses. You can support their work by joining one of the partners.
All the countries are represented on the BirdLife Global Seabird Programme committee, which meets regularly to share expertise and plan work together.

Good old Rosa
After dinner we decided to do duck pin bowling at parkville lanes which was equally ghetto. We had to score the game ourselves, which was on a projector that burned your hand everytime you wrote on it and the guy right next to us was trying to hep us score the game the whole time but he had no idea what he was doing. We also had to manually reset the pins ourselves and they had this dj playing songs from like 10 years ago on a computer behind us. also we got sno balls from the food bar there and we're pretty sure they got the ice from the last time it snowed because the chunks were huge. It was a pretty retro experience. but we liked it. good times in parkville.
Now for some pregnancy information. i have been having severe heart burn recently for no reason, it doesnt matter if i eat anything spicy or anything at all. i just have heart burn from the time i wake up until i go to sleep at night. it is unpleasant. also today i have had a major cramp/pain in my side all day which hasn't been fun. but on a good note i finally felt the baby kick/punch yesterday! it was so cool and she was doing it so much! i am so excited, i was getting impatient. eric even got to feel it and even though it freaked him out i know he loves it because now he always wants to try and feel her. it is cute.
Well I better get back to cleaning because my mom is coming tomorrow, yay! and i still have a lot to do, but before i go here is a picture of my neice Talia that my sister sent me today, because she is so adorable and I know everyone else wants to see her too. lol
Hopefully this week while my mom is here we will take lots of pictures that i can put in my blog so my next post won't be so boring! :)

I didn't know you guys had a blog! I found it on the William's blog! We may have to try out Los Amigo's because Chris and I have yet to find great Mexican food out here! I am so sad that you are having heartburn...it is the worst! I had a little, but I seriously hate Tums. Oh well, basically our bodies go through crazy stuff during pregnancy.
