Ride Information:
Ride Don't Hide is a community bike ride hosted, nationally, by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), with the goal to raise awareness and help break the stigma surrounding mental health while raising essential funds to support mental health programs in our community.

Our goal in 2018 is to have 550 cyclists, raising over $175,000.

Survivors of Suicide Loss Day is a one day event for individuals who have lost someone to suicide (parent, child, spouse/partner, aunt, uncle, cousin, niece, nephew, friend, or extended relationships – wife lost a parent or sibling, parent of someone who lost a partner) to come together and connect in a supportive environment. CMHA – Calgary Region works with a group of devoted volunteers to present a day of support, healing, information, connection and hope for those left behind.
Refreshments and lunch will be provided. Due to the highly emotional and sensitive nature of the day, this event is primarily intended for adults over the age of 16.
The 14th Annual Survivors of Suicide Loss Day will be held in November 2018. Registration will open in September. To receive notification when registration open, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. For information on the 2017 Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, click here.

They are not pleased, to say the least…
'Speaking of failure! Tess of the d'Urbervilles may well be a beautiful novel by Thomas Hardy, and the BBC may well have a good reputation for costume drama, in this case the two did not find each other. The first episode of this four part series was the weakest we have ever seen in the genre.
Tess is the story of a fallen woman. Gemma Arterton was reasonable in her role, but not more than that.
The script of David Nicholls that told the story in its big lines, allowed little psychological depth. Hans Matheson as the villainous Alec could not force himself to the foreground either. Both characters excelled in stereotypical mimics.
It is surprising how the BBC sometimes succeeds in digging out a refined result from the dusty attics of the costume drama tradition, like in their recent series Cranford, and how sometimes they succeed in making it ever so bland.
Tess showed the pastoral landscape of Wessex, with green hills and white maidens, but had us never savour the dust. Even the mud was photogenic. For an adaptation of a naturalist novel that is dubious.
We had to figure out the tragedy of Tess, who gives birth to the child of a castle squire, from one sad weeping fit with her mother. The camera films all from a safe distance, without really plunging into the characters. Only the feast-scene with the workers seemed to bring a little more reality, but that was all past in one breath.
The lowest point was the scene of rape. Not that it should have been (more) realistic, but there happened something which was not going to be easily symbolised with a little floating mist. Then the scene with the strawberry prior to that (Tess bites into a strawberry hanging from the hand of Alec, a sexual metaphor) was of a higher level.
The latter is called 'poetic adaptation'. Television, in the last twenty years, has moved on, and Nicholls could have done more with Tess (and soon with The Return of the Native). (vbp)
Tess of the d'Urbervilles. Each Tuesday night on Eén at 8.40. Number of viewers: 793 160.' (where a good show as the news fetches about 1 million).
De Standaard gave a score of only 3/10…
I do think that the journalist of De Standaard was off the mark when he took the scene with the strawberry as an example of a higher level of filming. It is even sadder, as that scene was in the book and so the writer stole it from the original. With the rest, and there I do agree with the journalist, Nicholls did not know what to do. BBC, you can do better.
(The article was faithfully translated from the website of De Standaard and can still be found there today.)

Uplifters: Blakeley Lowry
Local woman helps provide support and education for post-partum depression
Working to remove the stigma of maternal mental health issues and thereby deliver tangible treatment results to women who suffer from post-partum depression in Uganda has been the driving force behind Blakeley Lowry's work as a consultant for the Peter C. Alderman Program for Global Mental Health at HealthRight International.
With a success rate around 80 percent, the program trains community health workers to screen new mothers for depression, provide education on the signs and symptoms, normalize what they are feeling, and connect them to support. The impact of the program has been so significant that Lowry and her HealthRight colleagues are now looking to bring components back here to the New York City Department of Health's Maternal Depression Collaborative.
"After giving birth to my second child, I suffered from post-partum depression, myself. It wasn't until it lifted, and I became involved in the work in Uganda, that I took the screening myself and recognized the symptoms for what they were," says the Bedford mother of two. "Our work is about giving women the education that they're not alone; there's always hope."

Perspective – September 2013
/images/frontpage pointers/regular columns/Ian-McMahon.jpg
No surprises? Not for tourism
I HAVE few recollections of the recent election campaign which ranks as one of the most anodyne in memory. But I do recall that putative Prime Minister Tony Abbott promised us no surprises.
How then do we explain the fact that for the first time in 40 years we have no designated Federal Minister for Tourism?
Surely we had been led to believe that Shadow Minister for Tourism Bob Baldwin would have the role in an Abbott ministry with Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop representing our industry around the Cabinet table.
Instead Baldwin is languishing as a parliamentary secretary for industry while responsibility for tourism has been split between three Ministers – Bishop and Minister for Trade and Investment Andrew Robb are looking after international tourism while domestic tourism comes within the brief of Minister for Industry Ian Macfarlane.
This splitting of tourism into two areas of responsibility is in line with Coalition policy that domestic tourism should be the province of the states.
But if this is the case, it doesn't foreshadow much of a tourism role for Baldwin in the industry portfolio.
Which is a great shame in view of the good impression that Baldwin made on many industry representatives in the lead-up to the election.
Presumably he had a big part to play in the universally welcomed Coalition policy of freezing the Passenger Movement Charge (PMC) – a policy that no doubt helped trigger strong pre-election support for the Coalition from industry bodies (unusual for a traditionally politically neutral industry).
One of those bodies was AFTA but the federation's chief executive Jayson Westbury has called the omission of tourism from the Ministry of this "no surprises" Government a shock.
Westbury, however, remains confident that the Abbott Government can be a government for tourism.
He puts the best possible construction on the new set-up, pointing out that the industry now has three senior Ministers representing it. (See AFTA View)
And the Tourism and Transport Forum (TTF) is positively gushing about the new portfolio arrangements helping Australia to maximise the potential of the tourism industry.
Mind you the TTF attitude most certainly does not come as a shock given that its chairman Bruce Baird is a former Coalition Minister and close colleague of Julie Bishop.
I am in the camp of those who find it difficult to believe the three incredibly busy senior Ministers will be able to have much of a focus on tourism and I am not encouraged by the relegation of Baldwin who put in the hard yards getting across tourism industry issues. Ultimately, however, the Government will be judged by policy outcomes.
And it is off to a good start with the freezing of the PMC – a move that contrasts starkly with the previous Government which did have a Tourism Minister, Martin Ferguson.
Ferguson assured the industry there would be no increase in the PMC just weeks before the Budget that did increase it.
It will be important for industry bodies to lobby hard on tourism and to hold this Government accountable.

Optimal Observability and Complexity
Optimal Observability and Complexity
This chapter addresses the issue that many tax system rely on reports made by a private party to the government, which may be inaccurate, wilfully or inadvertently. But the tax authority can directly ascertain information about the tax base other than through taxpayer reports. Even if no reports are required, behavior can be camouflaged to make accurate observation difficult. This chapter develops a formal theoretical model of optimal observability in a linear income tax, and considers how to assess optimal tax complexity in light of how it affects taxpayer decisions given people's cognitive limitations. It also discusses the political economy of tax complexity.
Keywords: Observability, Complexity, Cognitive limitations

The Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park has many different things to see and do, including various pre bookable attractions. One of these is the Magical Ice Kingdom. It's at the Winter Wonderland every year and features all different sculptures made out of ice. This years theme is Deep Sea Adventure where you can find mermaids, gods and sea creatures.
I paid £10 to go in and as soon as I walked inside I could feel the cold right away. Fortunately I was wrapped up warm so I wasn't too cold. I'm pretty sure it was around -10 inside. The Ice Kingdom is great and it was really fun seeing all of the ice sculptures.
If you are at the Winter Wonderland, than a visit to the Ice Kingdom is a must. At the end they have a slide made of ice that you can go down. A word of warning – you will get your butt wet going down. All part of the fun and definitely worth it. Merry Christmas.

Vanity Fair & Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice and Vanity Fair are constructed quite differently, but the themes of social class, upward mobility and the pursuit of marriage are at their hearts.
In 1813, life in Regency England was extremely stratified along the lines of social class. Whatever class a person was born into they could expect to stay in throughout their lifetime. The only real way to escape the bonds of class was to enter into an advantageous marriage.
Adding to this, the place of women was such that marriage was their entire future. Where a woman would live, what her ultimate station would be and how well she would be accepted in her social circles would all depend on her marriage.
Pride and Prejudice's Desperate Singles
The five Bennett sisters talked of little besides marriages and single men. Modern readers (or viewers of the movies) may see it as a frivolous romance tale interesting only to romance readers. But, the talk of marriage was as exciting during the Regency as the most fantastic modern tales of exploding buildings and foreign espionage are today.
Marriage was literally a matter of life and death for many women. The Bennett sisters had no brother and could not legally inherit their home. Entailed to a distant cousin, their home would be snatched from them the moment their aging father died. If any of them married, all of them would have a home upon his death. If not, they were at the mercy of sympathetic relatives. Marriage was literally life or death, starving or living a life of grace and ease.
Vanity Fair's Socialite
Completed in 1848, Vanity Fair entered the market during a different political time, but many of the cultural divides in class were the same. Becky Sharp was a social climber to rival any of the socialites that make headlines today, and got exactly what it was she sought. Marriage meant an end to having to work for a living, something that was still looked down on by the upper classes.
Like Lizzie Bennett, Becky Sharp was pretty and confident and had no intentions of settling for less than her own idea of happiness. Her scheming may have gotten her a better social position in a less selfless manner than Lizzie Bennett's, but making an advantageous marriage was just as crucial.
Both characters were determined, both married above themselves and were granted a better social position, but literary karma descended on each. No unhappiness was hinted at for Lizzie's marriage, but Becky's was an unhappy one that failed to give her what she craved. Still craving more, she persevered, gaining social status but not happiness.

I love my Kefirko for sprouting! I really love how easy it is to do in the Kefirko. I used to use mason jars, but you have to tilt those, which isn't hard, but the Kefirko makes it even easier because I can just turn it upside down.

Why writing matters to Natalie Trice.
Posted by National Stationery Week
My name is Natalie and I am a writer.
I write for a living, I blog for fun and oh yes, I am an author too.
My love of writing started when I was in reception. Mrs. Armstrong would keep our crayons in tobacco tins and my prize possession was a little book in my tray that was half plain half lined. At five years old there was nothing more I loved than writing my 'news' on Monday morning and talking about what we did at the weekend.
I loved words and was never happier than when I had a pencil in my hand or my nose in a book. I would spend hours hanging out in the library where the pages of the books feed my imagination and were the window to a world that is now so easily accessible at the click of a button.
Maths and science classes passed me by in a blur, but set me an essay or ask me to write story, and I was in my element. I was bullied at secondary school but writing was an escape from the name-calling and campaigns of hatred. Looking back now, maybe I should thank those bullies for giving me the spirit and determination to go out and follow my dreams.
I would fill endless diaries and notebooks with poems and short stories, some of which I still have now. I drafted love letters I knew I would never send, stared novels that had no ending and even made a stab at a play – not my finest work, but I tried.
At university I studied contemporary history of art, a subject that was as wordy as it was postmodern and packed with complicated jargon and detailed descriptions. I loved it. With computers still a luxury, I hand wrote every assignment, often pulling a Pro Plus 'all nighter' but never missed a deadline and loved the stack of books on my desk and the feeling of 'getting there'.
When I came back from a stint of teaching English in Japan, rather than going into journalism, I stumbled into PR and went on to forge a successful career in the world of TV.
While I fancied myself as a Carrie Bradshaw type living in a New York coffee shop wearing hopelessly high heels and drinking champagne at celebrity parties, the reality is a little different.
I now live in Devon by the sea, and after the success of my first book, Cast Life – A Parent's Guide to DDH , I now have a deal for two more – both about PR. I write for newspapers and magazines, for websites and our charity, DDH UK, and I love it.
Writing makes me money, it makes me happy and I like to think that my passion for the written word has inspired others to dabble too.

Make a Scarecrow for Your Garden
Birdwatching is fun–until the birds you're watching start picnicking in your garden. Our scarecrow can help ward off unwanted wildlife, although birds soon learn that a stationary figure isn't a threat. They're more likely to scatter when something moves, so after you make your straw man, add a few old CDs or aluminum pie plates that will spin and sparkle in the sun, or stick reflective foil pinwheels into the ground around him.
If you don't need a guardian for your garden, let the scarecrow decorate your yard or porch for autumn. He'll be happy to hang around.
Begin by making the form for your scarecrow. Screw the 3′ piece of wood to the 5′ piece of wood to make a cross. The 3′ piece should be about 1′ down from the top of the form. Secure it with 3 screws.
Put the t-shirt on the scarecrow.
Make the head out of burlap. Start by rolling the burlap tightly and then wrapping it around to make it look like a head. Secure the head to the scarecrow form with twine. You can add a garden hat and sunglasses so he won't get sunburned.

To put on the pants, cut a hole between the legs and shimmy the pants up the post. Tie the bottom of the legs with twine. Then use the twine to make suspenders. Once the pants are secure, stuff them with wheat straw. Also stuff the shirt with wheat straw. To complete your scarecrow, dig a hole in the ground and insert the cross upright.

- Twine
- 8′-long 2″ x 4″
- Three 5″-long wood screws
- Wheat straw
- Old clothing (pants, t-shirt, button-up shirt, belt, gloves)
- NOTE: cut the 8′ long 2″x4″ into a 3′ and a 5′ length

Innovative Casey Cangelosi CGL2Y Rich Articulate Marimba Mallets - Product Information
Wrapped in an environmentally friendly bamboo-blended cord, the Casey Cangelosi Series Marimba Mallets combines the rich, warm tonal characteristics of yarn with the articulate clarity of cord. These mallets are built on birch dowels with a natural finish and allow for a heavy bass sound without sounding muddy or washy, a delicate touch for lyrical legato passages that speak from the mallet immediately, and a steady timbre throughout the dynamic range. The two softest mallets are also available with a soft yarn wrap.
The CGL2Y is intended to be used as a fast bass mallet and produces a rich bass sound that is less articulate than the CGL2.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Steak Variations and other Steak topics.
If you are one of the many individuals who eats beef liver because of its powerful medicinal properties, you should take the added step of purchasing only grass-fed products. Liver that comes from grass fed beef is healthier for you than commercial liver – and you can be certain that there have been no hormones, steroids or antibiotics added to the meat. Since liver is high in iron, it is recommended that you eat no more than three to five ounces of it per month. You should look at liver as the delectable treat that it is. Buy only the best and purest form of liver available.
Liver cooks best over medium-high heat. It can be cut into strips prior to cooking. If you do not want your liver cut into strips, you should make tiny cuts every inch along the meat to keep it from curling.

Theories and Facts About Acupuncture
Alternative Medicine
Acupuncture is a means of relieving pain by means of inserting fine, thin needles to specific nerve points on the human body. The method is believed to have its origin in China and has been used there for at least 2,500 years. However, the definition and characterization of these points are controversial.
In history past, warriors noticed when they were injured on certain parts of the body they became cured of certain diseases and ailments. The Chinese refined this art of applying pressure to certain body parts which eventually became known as Acupuncture and Acupressure, forms of holistic healing.
An example of acupuncture treatment in western medicine would be vascular headaches which are commonly treated with aspirin or other medication such as niacin that dilate affected blood vessels in the scalp. But in acupuncture a common treatment is stimulating sensitive points located between the thumbs and the palms. Most modern acupuncturists use disposable stainless steel needles of fine diameter sterilized with ethylene oxide or by autoclave.
Currently, more than 350 acupuncture points have been identified. Inserting needles to these locations in a variety of combinations has provided instant relief from many types of pains.
Yin and Yang
Acupuncture is classified as alternative medicine. How it works isn't exactly known, but it's generally accepted, proper functioning of the human body is controlled by the Yin and theYang, two opposite types of body energy.
Yin is the female energy described as cold and passive while Yang is the male energy, warm and light. It is thought these energies run through pathways called 'meridians' or acupuncture points. Supposedly, as long as these two energies are in harmony, the body is healthy.
Today acupuncture is widely practiced in the United States. The treatment procedure depends on what problem a patient has and involves stimulating specific nerve points. The method adopted determines the type and size needle and depth of insertion. Needles are usually kept inserted for up to 20-30 minutes.
When a needle is inserted into an acupuncture point, the nerve fiber gets simulated and sends a signal to nerves in the spinal cord. The brain then releases chemicals such as enkephalin and dynorphin which blocks incoming pain signals. The hypothalamus and the pituitary gland may also be stimulated releasing, other therapeutic body chemicals.
Traditionally, needles have been used for nerve stimulation. However, today needle refinements using magnets or arelatively new method of stimulation, laser acupuncture has been introduced.Laser acupuncture usually uses low-energy laser beams instead of traditional acupuncture needles to influence the flow of current at the acupuncture points.The procedure has distinct advantages. Many patients who are usually afraid of needles, such as children, prefer laser acupuncture. In addition, it's a noninvasive, aseptic procedure, which significantly reduces pain and recovery time.
Laser therapy also significantly reduces patient trauma and is usually preferred for treating conditions where risk of cross infection is high. However the effectiveness of this treatment is often limited to peripheral points on a patient's hands, feet and ears. Deeper abdominal points do not usually benefit from the treatment. Most laser beams used cannot penetrate beyond 0.19 inches
Like acupuncture, acupressure is also a form of holistic healing and is based on the same principles. Unlike acupuncture, where needles are inserted, acupressure is simply applying pressure is applied to the meridian points. Acupuncture has been successfully used for stroke rehabilitation, headache, myofascial pain, low back pain, asthma, tennis elbow, addiction, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Other conditions people say have been alleviated or improved by acupuncture are: some allergies, depression, urinary problems, gynecological matters and obesity issues. Furthermore, it is also claimed to aid in treating anxiety, insomnia, digestive problems and infertility. There are many other conditions in which acupuncture has been utilized such as chemotherapy nausea and even dental pain.
However, despite these apparent successes, practitioners of traditional medicine have often been highly skeptical of the technique. On the other hand countless others hail it as practically a miracle cure.
Various theories to how acupuncture works have been suggested. According to the Neurotransmitter Theory, acupuncture works by increasing levels of certain neurotransmitters such as Serotonin and Noradrenaline. The Circulatory System Theory proposes effects are the result of vasodilators being released that aids in blood circulation.
One other, The Endorphin Theory, claims weight loss is achieved by the release of endorphins, thereby producing a calming and relaxing effect on the body. Because stress causes some people to binge, acupuncture supposedly uses this property to control overeating.
Why use acupuncture? It is drug-free and heals causes as well as symptoms.

Does it cover everything? Well, no, not really. But I think it's general enough to get the idea across in a largely functional and effective way.
I saw a guy get tossed out of a strip club for whipping out his thing while watching a girl dance on a pole, and whacking at it fiercely. It took a couple of minutes and a lot of laughter before the bouncers came by and physically hauled him out. And this was a place where there was titties-a-plenty.
I guess my point is that I lean on common sense. If I have to tell you why it's inappropriate to lead someone by the leash on the Battlestar, I think I'm just going to talk to Faraday.
Yeah if you whip it out in a club you'll 100 percent get ejected unless it's an insanely skeevy club
and if it's a topless place they're not at all ever in any possible world going to risk getting their liquor license pulled, like, everyone you're with is gone and probably never allowed back
Really most clubs period that aren't private are gonna be the same, including fetish clubs, like, those places almost never even have doors on the bathroom stalls
tbh i think the majority of the "i can totally fuck here" people just haven't ever been to the places they think are down w somebody getting slammed on the bar

It dosen't matter if someone walks in wearing a giant, neon purple, strap-on it isn't "forcing a kink" on someone unless that viewer finds it arousing and is made uncomfortable by that arousal.
In some cases, sure. But I wouldn't call this one a universal. (It's often easy enough to spot in the 'methinks thou dost protest too much' sense when this is true, but that's also not any sort of certainty.)
Some people are hot for gore and mutilation for sexual gratification; someone being made uncomfortable by that isn't necessarily going to be ashamed of their own secret sexual woo from gore and mutilation, they may simply find it horrifying and gross if they don't like gore or mutilation period. There are people into racist or sexist themes in fetish play; someone being put off by that isn't necessarily put off because they are ashamed they find it also hot, but because they're not fans of racism or sexism.
Even some of this is a RL vs. VR thing. If I walked into a fetish club and people were engaging in scat play, and that's allowed there, I may just be plain and simple put off by the smell and leave. Until we have smellovision in VR (OH PLEASE GODS NEVER NO PLEASE NO), that's not going to be an issue in the same way.
There are fetishes for
damned neareverything, so the reasons for an objection are going to vary a lot.

New York: US. prosecutors have asked a federal judge to allow them to use documents seized during the 2011 military raid that killed Osama bin Laden at the January trial of suspected al Qaeda figure Abu Anas al-Liby.
In papers filed on Friday in Manhattan federal court, prosecutors said that six letters, written in 2010 and 2011 when bin Laden was "the most wanted man in the world," were "critically important evidence" of al-Liby`s alleged role in al Qaeda conspiracies to kill Americans.
"I ask God to reunite me with you soon under the banner of Islam and the Islamic state and the banner of jihad," al-Liby wrote bin Laden in one letter in October 2010, according to a government motion.
Bernard Kleinman, al-Liby`s lawyer, said he would oppose the government`s request.
U.S. forces killed bin Laden in May 2011 in a raid on his hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan, ending a nearly 10-year hunt following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States using hijacked jetliners.
Al-Liby, whose real name is Nazih al-Ragye, was seized by U.S. forces in October 2013 in Libya and brought to the United States to face criminal charges stemming from the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
Al-Liby and accused bin Laden associate Khalid al-Fawwaz are scheduled to face trial Jan. 12. Both have pleaded not guilty.
The letters include a June 2010 message to bin Laden from Atiyah abd al-Rahman, his chief deputy, saying he had assigned al-Liby to serve on al Qaeda`s security committee following his release from an Iranian prison, according to court filings.
A March 2011 letter to Rahman concerned al-Liby`s long-standing request for permission to return to Libya, where the Arab Spring uprising that ultimately toppled Muammar Gaddafi was underway.
Rahman, killed in a drone attack in August 2011, wrote to bin Laden that April that he had approved the request.

Ballymena Hockey Club ladies' First XI stayed among the early-season pacesetters in Senior League One with a 4-2 win at Victorians on Saturday.
In the first half Ballymena were unlucky not to take advantage of a penalty flick in the opening minutes; however Emma Gillespie did strike first from open play to give Ballymena an early advantage.
Ballymena had much of the possession and soon translated this into a penalty corner which was duly converted by Susanne Morrison for a 2-0 lead.
Before the halftime break Ballymena doubled their lead with an impressive strike from Vicky Hogg, followed by another converted penalty corner from Captain Clare Gillespie.
Into the second half and Victorians, despite the best efforts of the Ballymena defence did take two chances in the half scoring both.
Ballymena: J. Davis (GK), N. Greer, C. McCracken, G. McBurney, S. Morrison, J. Sutherland, H. Taggart, A. Crooks, A. Logan, C. Gillespie(C), E. King, S. Penney, E. Gillespie.
Ballymena II 1, Randalstown II 1: In this first local derby of the season, Randalstown opened the scoring after a mistake in the Ballymena defence early on in the game.
This fuelled a good response from Ballymena, who equalised ten minutes later from great team work from Natalie Rea and Gillian Weir down the right flank, resulting in a good finish by Lorna Murphy who swept the ball home
Ballymena continued to dominate the first half with most of the attacking play, but were unable to capitalise on their chances or penalty corners with Lyndsey McClintock coming closest with her shot saved off the line!
The second half brought no change in the score line, despite penalty corners at both ends, with notable saves from Lauren Hanna in the Ballymena goal to deny a second Randalstown goal.
The team would like to thank Hugh Ramsey for umpiring.
Seconds: L. Hanna (GK), A. Harbinson, N. Greer, E. Clarke, H. Dickey, R. Murphy, E. Anderson, L. McClintock, L. Murphy, N. Rea, G. Weir, S. Montgomery, L. Logan, K. McMaster
Ballymena III 5, Randalstown IV 0: The Thirds returned to winning ways with an exceptional display of hockey against Randalstown 4ths including three goals in the opening 10 minutes!
The first came from Amy Farquhar from a deflected short corner after some good work on the right flank from Emily Alexander.
Alexander then turned scorer for Ballymena's second as she ran unchallenged into the circle and unleashed an unstoppable drive into the corner.
Ballymena's third saw some good combination play as Emma Johnston played in Laura Logan, who neatly deflected the ball past a static keeper.
Minutes later Emily Alexander claimed her second of the day with a quick break from Farquhar, which Alexander swept into the goal to make it 4-0 at the interval.
In the second half Randalstown's defence held strong to the last 5 minutes of the game where strong play from Alexander and Jessica Kennedy, played Charlene Lorimer into the circle for a clean strike into the corner of the goal.
The team would like to thank Davy Allen for umpiring.
Thirds: R. Jones (GK) L. McClintock, C Lorimer, G. McCready, K. McMaster, L. Logan, R. Reid, A. Farquhar, N. Sloan, J. Kennedy, S. Smyth, E. Johnston, E. Alexander.
Result: Bangor II 2, Ballymena IV 2.
Result: Ballymena 3, Belfast Harlequins III 2.
Ballymena II 4, Bangor IV 2: Ballymena Men's 2nds welcomed an unbeaten Bangor side to the Academy and quickly found themselves a goal down after a pacey break from Bangor. Ballymena held possession well and midway through the half levelled the score through O'Neill. Ballymena continued to press the Bangor defence and as McDonald played Nicholl in for a shot the rebound fell again to McDonald who squared the ball neatly away for a 2-1 halftime lead.
Into the second half and as Bangor continued to rely on the fast break they drew level with a well worked goal. Further pressure from several Ballymena short corners eventually paid off with Glass on hand at the back post to score Ballymena's third, with a dainty lift to beat the out-stretched keeper.
As Bangor tired, on hand with number 4 for the home side was William Barr to neatly wrap up a good day's work.
The team would like to thank Mary Glass and Joanne Logan for umpiring.
Seconds: J. Birrell (GK), D. McDonald, A. Hanna (C), S. Glass, J. Grimason, D. McDowell, P. Nicholl, P. Moody, T. Cole, M. O'Neill, B. Mills, W. Barr, E. Hampton.

Frist backs intelligent design and I have to say, I'm behind him on this.
Creationism is dead and it's about damn time.
Everyone's talking about Intelligent Design now and it seems nicer. Intelligent Design sounds like a magazine I would subscribe to. When I think of introducing and idea like, Intelligent Design into a classroom, I'm kinda warm to notion. Why not take a break from straight science and examine a few hitherto unexplained things. Or underexplained things. This might spark interest in science. At least in the part where science is people asking questions. If the universe is under the purview of Intelligent Design, well then, we might just be able to figure it out.
Kids are damn sick and tired of "that just happened."
"That just happened," says the cracker boatman in Vernon, FL.
"Lets take all that you call 'that just happened' and put a name on it."
Lets call it 'intelligent design.'
Not bad. I actually, kinda like it. Given half a chance, it might combine with the our slumbering American Ingenuity, and cultivate flexible as well as muscular minds. Flexible minds, that can tolerate staying open for long periods of time. Why look at this as a loss for Darwin? Think of it as a win for Galeleo. Besides, if evolution were the end of the story, there wouldn't still be monkey's, would there?
I'm all about intelligence creating this.
and manipulating this:
From That Just Happened.
to asking questions about "design," of all things.
good design = good idea = intelligent design.
kids would really take to this.
oooh, they like that, don't they?
things that spin.
billiard balls in motion.
round and round
intelligent design in motion.
it's full of stars.
intelligent design?
intelligent design?
Holy Leap of Language, Batman.
I like this INTELLIGENT DESIGN.
pretty much, people who have been into 'intelligent design'
were right on the money.
things "don't just happen."
there's no stupid questions.
just people who ask them,
and people who don't.
the ability to 'sit with' challenging questions and not react
is a sign of grace of wisdom.
we're just asking:
it's not easy to ask for answers
we're not experts, or the best-dressed, best-looking, best-abled
but dammit, at least we're asking. no one ever told us we couldn't.
well, no one we'd ever pay any attention to.

Tripoli- Libya (PANA) -- The African Commission for Human and People's Rights (CADHP) Monday decided, at the end of its 29th ordinary session, to initiate reflection on its future status, within the new framework of the African Union.
The commission, which on 7 May ended two weeks of deliberations in Tripoli, Libya noted the ratification of the Constitutive Act of the African Union by 38 OAU member states and its imminent coming into force.
The commission, which met in Libya at the invitation of the Jamahiriya, adopted a number of resolutions to do with "the immediate, total and definite lifting of sanctions imposed on Libya," and "the recent acts of violence in Kabile (Algeria).
" Also featured was the situation of human rights advocates in Tunisia, freedom of expression, and the HIV/AIDS pandemic that was considered "a threat on human rights and mankind.
" The Commission heard presentations from South Africa, Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Congo (Brazzaville), Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, Eritrea and the Libyan Jamahiriya.
Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Namibia, the Central African Republic, DR Congo, Ethiopia, the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, Rwanda, Senegal, Sudan, Togo and Tunisia also made presentations.
According to the final communiqué, several NGOs expressed concern about the situation of human and people's rights in many African countries.
The situation in the Great Lakes region, Guinea, Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, Cameroon, Mauritania, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Congo (Brazzaville), Liberia, Sudan, Chad, Togo and Côte d'Ivoire were of great concern to participants.
The NGOs regretted the recurrence of armed conflicts, extra- judicial, summary or arbitrary executions, forced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, denials of justice, inhuman conditions of detention, cases of torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.
They also protested against hindrances to freedom of expression, harassment of human rights advocates, and the vulnerability of refugee populations and asylum-seekers.
Cases of violence, mostly on women, children, the elderly and handicapped people were also strongly condemned.
The African commission noted with satisfaction the withdrawal of a controversial lawsuit lodged by pharmaceutical companies against South Africa concerning generic drugs against HIV/AIDS.
The commission observed that difficulties encountered by HIV/AIDS patients to gain access to treatment, were a major obstacle to the right to health as provided for in the African Charter for Human and People's Rights.
Special rapporteur on prisons and conditions of detention in Africa Dr Vera Mlangazuwa Chirwa, and special rapporteur on the rights of women in Africa Julienne Ondziel-Gnelenga, also presented their reports.
The commission created a working group on indigenous populations/communities, made up of the Vice-President Kamel Rezag Bara and Commander Andrew R.
Chigovera, assisted by three experts.
A workshop on the situation of human rights of indigenous populations/communities was held 27 April on the sidelines of the commission's 29th session.
The commission granted observer status to several NGOs including "L'oeil d'aujourd'hui," CI-Af Benin, Survival International, Centre for Democracy and Development, Centre Afrika Obota, Association Nigérienne pour la défense des droits de l'home, Que choisir Bénin, CADDHOM absl, Human Rights Institute of South Africa and Académie Africaine de Théorie du Droit.
Within the framework of its promotional activities, the commission reiterated its decision to organise seminars on Contemporary Forms of Slavery, the Right to Education and Development, Freedom of Movement and the Right to Asylum in Africa.
Other themes envisaged include the Right of Handicapped People, Economic, social and Cultural Rights in Africa, the Prevention of Torture, and Refugees and Internally Displaced People.
The commission paid "vibrant tribute" to Prof.
Issac Nguema, who has been a member of the commission since its creation in November 1987, and chairman for three mandates (6 years).
It conferred on him the title of Honorary President in recognition of "his constant advocacy in favour of human rights across the African continent.
" The commission, which shall hold its 30th ordinary session in Banjul, Gambia next 13-27 October, also expressed satisfaction with the rate of participation in the Tripoli session.
Representatives from 29 member States, 6 national human rights institutions and 65 African and International NGOs took part in the session.
This, the final communiqué stressed, was "a clear testimony of the growing interest in the work of the commission for the promotion and protection of human rights in Africa.
" The session was officially opened on 23 April by Dr Mohamed Abdallah El Harrare, Secretary General in charge of Legal Affairs and Human Rights at the Secretariat of the General People's Congress of the Libyan Jamahiriya.
Dr El Harrare seized the occasion to remind participants of the suffering undergone by the Libyan people as a result of the continuing international embargo on the country.
He questioned the impartiality of the International Criminal Tribunal against the backdrop of what he reckoned was the strong influence of representatives of permanent member states of the UN Security Council.
He consequently reminded the commission and participants of their duty to call for "the establishment of a neutral and fair international criminal tribunal, capable of rendering justice equitably.
" Recalling the slave trade, colonisation and racial discrimination, he invited NGOs and the Commission to "defend the thesis of compensation for damage caused to Africa" at the UN international conference on racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and intolerance billed for Durban, South Africa from 31 August to 7 September.

It's John's birthday but instead of sharing this beautiful evening with him I'm sitting at this airport sandwich shop and watching the sun set over the runway…
Sept 7
Sitting in the Beijing airport waiting for my connecting flight to Guiyang, where I'll spend the upcoming week (including my birthday) at the Guizhou International Wine EXPO.
My original connection was cancelled so I'm stuck here for about 7 hours until the next flight. At least I'm not sitting outside in the smog and, for now, the entire row of seats next to me is empty…and there's free wi-Fi.
Nothing much to do; mainly just sitting around and waiting….Hopefully there'll be some excitement once in Guiyang.

Bumps and Bruises
Oh dear,where do we start
Yesterday G and B were play scuffling, G pushed B and Bs nose connected with the edge of the coffee table! thank gawd the corners have rubber protection do-dahs on them.
So little B starts wailing and then the blood starts trickling...wipe and trickle...wipe and trickle...errrr think we'd better get this one checked out.
Trundled to the new hossie (that escapade is another post in itself) and booked him in. All this time he's hiding his face under his hat and thankfully the bleeding had stopped of it's own accord...I have a feeling he KNEW he was going to get prodded LOL. Nice Dr B was on duty that day...evil doctor shoved evil lighted looking thing up Bs right nostril...much wriggling and screeching ensued (Mummy had a good firm grasp with one arm curled round arms and chest the other round the forehead)
Thankfully Doc feels fine with it, slightly inflamed probably due to his cold and thats maybe why it bled so easily...at 2 yrs old a nose is unlikely to break as it's mostly cartilage but it's always better to be safe even though there is really nothing they can do if it WAS broken.
Half a punnet of strawberries later confirmed that little B was fine, but he missed his afternoon nap...6.30pm, an hour earlier than his normal bedtime preperations, and it was too quiet...went for a nosy and the wee mite was fully clothed couried round his teddy sound asleep on his bed.
He wasnt happy that Mummy had to fuss him and change his rump and get his PJs on...well i couldn't leave him in a nappy he'd already had on for 4 hours and hope it would last another 13 or so, and belted jeans tshirt fleece and trainers are not the best sleeping attire. It woke him up enough till i'd got his brother ready too and they had their bedtime milk.
They joys of having boys eh? LOL

Biathlon Nottingham, Witham and Brooke
10 Oct 2017
Biathlon Nottingham
On a wet and grey Sunday morning Jack Braddock, Ffion Trundell, Noah Pepperdine, Georgia Howe and Jack Lockett made their way, with supporting parents to Nottingham for the East Midlands Biathlon qualifiers. For some of the competitors this was their first ever event. In typical Witham style all the competitors gave it 100% and left nothing on the track or indeed in the pool. When all the results were in Jack Braddock had made the necessary 2000 points to reach the national finals at Crystal Palace. Ffion Trundell missed out by a heart breaking 14 points. But all of the competitors should be very proud of their efforts, I certainly am.
Witham Hall Cross Country
On a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon, Witham hosted their annual cross country meet with several well-known schools attending: Kimbolton, Stamford to name a couple. The fast and flat course was to our liking. In each age category we had at least one team, often two. All the runners showed heart and determination and a real competitive edge. Rather pleasingly Witham pupils won many of their mini battles throughout each race which bought the crowds of spectators to their feet. All in all it was a fantastic afternoon and the Under Nine's boys were victorious in their category. A huge 'thank you' to all those who made the afternoon such a huge success.
Brooke Priory Cross Country
On a beautiful Saturday afternoon Witham Hall descended en masse to Brooke Priory Cross Country course. The course is well known as a 'proper' cross country course, across fields, mud and lots more beside! Witham was once again very well presented in every age category and there was a lot of parental support, which was good to see. It turned out to be a very successful day for Witham, ultimately winning the whole competition. Individually Thomas Welch, Alexandria Braid, Eliza Mardon, Jack Braddock, Angus McKay won their races. Each of them demonstrating some very impressive form. It was also great to see how many younger runners swelled the ranks of the junior fun run, and some impressive signs of potential there indeed. Each of the Witham pupils were absolutely excellent on the day and all the pupils wore their Witham colours with pride.

Ordered new rear leafs and sliders for our 78 camaro. I'm trying to install both but the bushing for the leaf spring is to wide to fit in the sliders I have. I'm wondering if I have the wrong part or do I need to modify the bushing for the leaf to work with the slider. Has anyone went through this.

The Seaman's Daily Assistant, being a short, easy and plain method of keeping a journal at sea
J. Crukshank, London, printed: Philadelphia, re-printed 1777 - (8 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches). [8], 160 pp. Minor losses reinstated. Expertly bound to style in half tree calf and period marbled paper covered boards First American edition: the first book on practical navigation printed in the United States. Haselden's Seaman's Daily Assistant was first published in London in 1757, and Adams and Waters record some 15 London and one Dublin editions prior to this very rare first American edition. Haselden is described on the title as "Late Teacher of Mathematics in the Royal Navy." The work includes a table of difference of latitude to each degree, instructions for working out position according to Mercator, tables of high water, the suns ascension and declination, and the positions of the stars, rules for laying a course, and other matters of great and practical nautical importance. His text was of a practical nature intended as a guide for sailors, which explains the work's rarity, as well as the fact that few extant copies are found complete or in good condition. ESTC lists copies in only 7 libraries; the last complete example to appear at auction sold in the Frank Streeter sale for $21,600 (Christie's New York, April 16, 2007, lot 258). "One of the earliest navigation manuals, if not the first, to carry an American imprint" (Campbell). Campbell, Practical Navigator, page 14; Evans 15360; Hildeburn 3555. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]
