It has been a privilege to work with Tony and his family over the years. He was a man of honor, of character, generous to the 10th degree, and kind to all who have had the good fortune to have met him. Tony was detailed in his work and lived to serve his families. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was a born story-teller. He was a friend to many and he seldom met a person that he didn't like and his outer toughness was but a mask as all could see the great heart that this man had – for families he helped through times of loss to children to vet groups and within his church. Tony will be missed by all and is in our prayers as he takes his place in heaven. Goodbye, Tony…the world is a lesser place with your passing.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Col. 3:16
How many of us look at the clock and it says, '3:33,' and you think that surely God is trying to get our attention about something? How many of us look at our receipt from the store and it says, "$7.77" or even worse, '$6.6.6' and we know that something is surely up. Then a mindset comes, and everything seems different. All of a sudden, there are images of Jesus' face in our coffee cups, in the grain of splintered wood, and everywhere we look.
We all are well aware of the weeping statues of Jesus and Mary, and how many have flocked to see these things, and yet, perhaps some are indeed true. God does indeed, speak to us and intervenes even in the simplest of things, and yet, how easy it can be to think that every number we see; every ticket we purchase, and every receipt that we receive, has God's divine hand print on it?
Are we beginning to become superstitious with every waking moment, and with everything we see? Is there an angel on every street corner, and a devil under the sink? Let us return to the foundation of our faith, and to find an anchor there that firmly looks to the Chief Cornerstone. Let the word of God dwell in our hearts with all wisdom and insight. Let us draw strength from the wells of salvation, and to drink from the living waters of His Spirit.
When we do this then, our imagination won't be so prone to drift off into other realms that may or may not be true. Perhaps then we won't be so skittish when black cats that run in front of us. Maybe then, when the raven caws we won't be saying, 'Nevermore.'
Sometimes as we know, the enemy comes as an angel of light masquerading in any form that might mislead us. Don't fall for those schemes and devices of his that may appear at first to be true. See through the mist and smoke, and look beyond it, and then everything will appear bright again. The darkness has never understood the light; all it can do is to try and copy or warp the light. Nothing is original with him, it is all smoke and mirrors.

Just days after the series premiere of the new CBS comedy Me, Myself & I—with all-new episodes airing on Mondays at 9:30/8:30c on CBS and CBS All Access—stars Bobby Moynihan (Mid-Life Alex) and John Larroquette (Older Alex) visited The Talk to lend more insight into the deeper meaning behind their show.
When the hosts asked John, who's best known for his role as Dan Fielding on Night Court, how he relates to his new character, the actor had quite the profound response.

"Any age you're at, you're going to have some challenge... and hopefully some goal," he explained.
For Mid-Life Alex, that means going through a divorce, living in his buddy's garage, and taking care of his young daughter. And, for Older Alex, it's recuperating after a heart attack and bumping into an old love.
John went on to say that life, no matter your age, is all about "continuing to strive for success in [your] emotional life and the real world."

Finest Nigerian singer, Chikie Edozien famously known as Lynxxx recently staged a stylish and one of the most expensive wedding with a fast-rising Ghanaian actress, Joselyn Dumas. The wedding held at the Federal Palace Casino & Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos saw industry heavyweights like Dr. SID, Waje, Sasha, Basketmouth, Illrymx, Oreka, among others, in attendance.
Passersby within the prestigious hotel and some fans who later saw the pictures were unaware that what seems to be a real wedding between the creator of Jollof Music and the face of Range Rover Evogue in Ghana was actually not until last week when the singer premiered the video of his new song, Fine Lady, a collaborative effort with Wizkid (now better known as Wizzy).
The wedding scene was fake and we reliably gathered that Lynxxx spent whopping N4 million to stage it. With this feat, the Change Ur Parade crooner has joined the league of Nigerian entertainers who still believe in speeding big to shoot video.
As the video, directed by Tom Robson, continues to enjoy massive airplay on both local and satellite TV, the Delta State born rapper's relationship with Joselyn Dumas has been questioned, with speculation that the two might probably be in a dalliance.
In an interview with ENCOMIUM Weekly held on Thursday, September 13, 2012, at Browns Café, Victoria Island, Lagos, Lynxxx justified spending N4 million for the video as he also opened up on his relationship with the pretty Ghanaian thespian.
Congratulations on the success of your video shoot, can you tell us the inspiration behind it?
I wanted to make a song that will cut across all spheres, not just a commercial song. A song that can be an anthem or a song that celebrates women. Basically, that's why we came up with Fine Lady. It's a song to appreciate women and I felt Wizkid would be the best choice for a collaboration because we did something together in my first album.
I saw a lot of entertainers in the video, how did you find it so easy to bring them together?
I have a good relationship with many of my colleagues as far as the industry is concerned. So, it wasn't that hard to bring them together. I was happy at the end because everybody gave his support. We had funny people like Dr. Sid and Jummie from Beat FM and to be honest they were the best. Anytime I watched the video, they were the highlight of the comic relief in the video, with their funny dance steps, abusing each other and the rest. Basketmouth was fantastic, especially when we were arranging the venue. He was just doing a lot of jokes, making everybody laugh.
It was fun having people like Waje, Sasha, Oreka and Illrynx.
But I noticed that Wizkid was conspicuously missing at the wedding scene, why?
It was actually a conflict of schedule. He was supposed to come over for the shoot but EME was having a shoot on that same day. By the time he was ready, we were done. That's exactly what happened.
How much did it cost you to shoot the video?
This video is officially the biggest 'fake wedding' we've ever seen in the industry and I will be the first to do it. We actually paid handsomely for the fake wedding. The whole video cost about N4 million, from wedding dress to tooth-pick. My wife's wedding dress was made by Mai Atafo, make-up by Shomya, catering by The Smoke House and Federal Palace Casino and Hotel provided their marquee. So, all cost about N4 million.
Does it really worth it spending a lot of money on video?
Yes. Michael Jackson spent millions of dollars on his Thriller video. Busta Rhymes spent a million dollars on a video. If it's a question of worth, then I will say I'm worth N4 million and I can make more than N4 million from the song. I don't believe in being cheap when it comes to business. I invest in my music, give my best so that I can get multiple in return.
Generally, how was the experience?
It was very stressful putting the set together and keeping a crowd of 100 people. Again, I shoot my video alongside a talented directed called Tom Robson and with him, the pressure was reduced. We thank God it went well. Special thanks to my wife, Joselyn, who came all the way from Ghana for the fake wedding.
Let's talk about your choice of Joselyn. Why not a Nigerian lady or are you trying to say Nigerian babes are not fine?
I don't think there is boundary to that. In fact, I am even partly Ghanaian because my mother is from Ghana. So Ghana is Nigeria to me. We are all black people and we need to celebrate ourselves, regardless of which part of Africa we come from. Besides, I wanted to do something special, make use of a pretty lady that her face is not frequently seen on TV. I wanted to introduce somebody to Nigerians, whom I felt fits the criteria of a pretty lady for the video. She did an amazing job.
Can you shed light why you chose her?
I met her about a year and a half ago in Ghana. I went for a show and since then, we've been in touch. When I am in Ghana, sometimes, I hang out with her and even attended her shows. Ever since the video came out, there have been a lot of talk about her beauty, especially her figure and the innovation she brought to the video.
But we learnt that there is a kind of chemistry going on between you guys?
There has to be a chemistry and if there is no chemistry, why am I getting married to her. Basically, she's a good friend of mine and she's an actress, which is what acting is all about. So, if people say there is chemistry between us, then I think we did a good job.
Are you saying you guys have an intimate relationship?
Intimate what? Basically, there is no intimacy between us but she's my good friend. For us, it's business. This is what we do for a living. She's an actress and I am a musician but we have a growing friendship that continues even after the video.
Do you think the video will enhance your reputation in the industry?
Yes! I think I did a fantastic video and in the space of four days, I have got over 85,000 hits and the response is encouraging. This is actually a video that I have hardly seen people talking negatively about. I think myself and the director, Tom Robson did a great job.
What next after Fine Lady?
This is just the beginning. There are a whole lot of stuffs I am planning to dish out to my fans. A lot of collaborations ahead.
With your handsome face and physique, don't you think you will do more if you go into modelling or fashion?
I don't want anybody to think I am a model. I am not and I don't aspire to be. I do music and I am a businessman. But for fashion, yes!. In fact, I already own a fashion label called, Syndicate, before I started my career as a musician and so far, I have been very successful. Right now, I am doing a couple of things on fashion. Hopefully, I will unveil it to the public when I am satisfied with the product I am working on.

The Modena Archivolt is a sculpture carved over the Porta della Pescheria, the north portal of the Cathedral of Modena in northern Italy.
It depicts an attack on the castle by a number of knights of the round table, on horseback, in order to rescue Winlogee (Guinevere) who is held prisoner by Mardoc (Meleagant).
Construction of the cathedral began in 1099, though the sculpture can probably be dated to 1120-1140.

Get rid of an air lock, a simple methodology
Post date: Feb 16, 2011 4:28:45 PM
In these troubled times I'm pleased to be busy - lots of people are having a very hard time of it at the moment. It helps that many of my customers use me on a regular basis and continue to recommend me to their friends to do those 'no job to small' jobs. As the lady on the telly says 'every little helps'.Some jobs take literally five minutes or less. I've lost count of the number of light bulbs I've changed for people who can no longer do it. The funny thing is that when you do that sort of thing, people remember, and then they call you back again and again to do jobs that actually pay! My mother used to say "it costs nothing to be nice to others and it will bring rewards", and over the years I've tried, sometimes successfully, to follow her advice.
A case in point. Some time ago I was called to a house in Kilpatrick Close in Eastbourne. The basin hot tap would run for a short while and then just peter out. "New tap washers" the lady said. "No" said I "its an airlock".
Less than five minutes later I was done and on my way. Since then I've been back to the house several times to do other 'proper' jobs. Little things lead to greater things.
For all those reading this, sometimes, there is a simple way to get rid of an airlock.
It doesn't always work, but in this instance, it worked almost instantly.
Here's how.
Turn the offending tap on.
Go down stairs to the kitchen.
If the kitchen sink has a monobloc tap, hold your hand very firmly over the outlet so that water can't get out. Keeping your hand tight over the spout turn on the hot tap. Now turn on the cold tap. The mains pressure water forces its way back up through the hot water system and expunges the air as it does. Let it force its way through for a minute or so and Hey Presto air lock will be gone.
As I said, it doesn't always work, and then only on certain types of system.
PS if you don't get it right you can get very wet!
If you need help or advice on this or any other topic give me a call on 07930 335 937 or email me

Three genes, Whereas JNK1 and JNK2 expression is ubiquitous, JNK3 is predominantly expressed in the brain, testis, and heart.
However, this hypothesis could not apply to chicken embryonic fibroblasts (CEFs) in which the transforming activity of c-Jun inversely correlated with its transcriptional activity.
proposed that the oncogenic activity of v-Jun could result from its failure to activate the transcription of growth-attenuating genes that require high c-Jun activity.
Similar to JNK, MKK4 and MKK7 have both been implicated in mediating the apoptotic response of neurons to stress Therefore, it is possible that increased autophagy associated with the loss of JNK contributes to extending the life span of neurons in the developing brain.
JNK is also an essential component of stress-induced apoptosis in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs).

Writing Through Fences is a group of people who create – write or make art. Most of the members are or have been incarcerated within Australia's immigration detention regime. A small group of non-refugee artists and writers resident in these lands are involved in collaborative, amplification and supportive roles.
Writing Through Fences aims to create a safe place in which writers and artists can explore their ideas, creativity, experiences and identities within, before and despite immigration detention. We aim to open a place to re-member, a place to launch our work from, and to push aside walls that would attempt to contain and destroy us and our work. We believe that creation is necessary to ward off the killing effects of destruction.
Writing Through Fences remembers that we are working, living, and imprisoned within the long colonial practices of division of country, of displacement and incarceration that is characteristic of Australia's ongoing racist history. We remember that sovereignty has never been ceded.
No one can give us a voice and no one can take our voice away. Our voices are ours and we do with them what we will.

No single cooling device has a greater effect. Properly-installed metal roofing fares best of all roofing types in a storm, according to hurricane experts. And a metal roof can last a century or more, so it's not just frugal with your utility bill; it might not need to be replaced until your great-grandchildren's day.

Djerba, Tunisia – Pilgrims light candles in Ghriba Synagogue, an ancient temple on the island of Djerba, and the site of an annual pilgrimage sacred for the Jewish community.
Tunsia's Jewish community is made of around 1700 people, and while this number is far less than the 100,000 people living in the country in 1960s, this community is one of the rare examples where Muslims and Jews live together in peace in the Arab world.

Dryings of wood drying kilnxingnan
Drying process of wood drying kiln is divided into three phases, respectively, preheat treatment stage, intermediate stage of processing and normal drying stage.Must be strictly implemented in the process of drying drying process, good grasp of the temperature and time to prevent drying is not complete.
1, preheat treatment stage, the purpose is in before you make the wood drying heat through fully, and eliminate may already exist dry stress (produced in the process of air drying).Start the stove fan to the chamber in the heating, at the same time the light inside the boiler furnace chamber and wet (steam injection), temperature of 40 ℃ to 50 ℃, the temperature rises too fast, steam injection (wet), closed when moisture removal.To the chamber humidifying time depending on the wood species and thickness, generally 20 to 30 hours, about 1 to 2 days.Innovation circulation fan once every 4 hours in turning.
2, intermediate processing phase, intermediate processing was conducted in the process of kiln dry wet processing, its purpose is to eliminate the early stage of the generated surface tensile stress, in order to prevent the crack, dry or eliminate middle and late of surface hardening, late to prevent the internal crack.
Platoon is wet was conducted according to the running direction of the stove fan manual, when after the completion of the preheat humidification, stuffy kiln for 24 hours.Temperature is above 55 degrees can be wet, according to the fan to manually open or close the corresponding row of wet flap, platoon is wet time is fan once every 4 hours and the reversing, platoon is wet for 30 minutes.Temperature will gradually increased after the platoon is wet, but not more than 80 degrees.For easy to deformation or cracking of the wood, the platoon is wet and dry appropriate for a small amount of humidifying (steam injection), to eliminate the internal stress of lumber.Drying elm suggest humidifying 4 hours every 48 hours, humidification mouth closed when moisture removal.This operation need about 6 to 7 days.
3, normal drying stage, 9 days later, the temperature of 65 ℃ to 75 ℃, it is forbidden to overtemperature, stop the humidifying (steam injection), reverse circulation fan every 4 hours, moisture removal for 1 hour.Until dry. Takes about 4 to 6 days.
After the end of treatment, braised kiln 4-8 hours of sampling inspection, after passing the decreased slowly drying room temperature, when the temperature dropped to 40 ℃, before the kiln.

"Queer as Folk" is the lives of a group of gay men and women living in Pittsburgh who, like anyone, are focused on their relationships, careers, loves and ambitions.
The series is a realistic, funny and sometimes graphic portrayal of a minority community living in present-day society. It's not West Hollywood, it's not the Castro and it's not Chelsea. It may be a small world -- a gay Main Street with a couple of bars, a disco, a few shops and a diner -- but its reverberations are universal.
"Queer as Folk" is an unapologetic celebration of life in its varied forms. And as always, in the differences we discover the similarities that make us all human.

While I am enjoying the majority of living in Portland, there are some things that still rub me the wrong way. Case in point, we went grocery shopping yesterday and the usual chaos of people were there -no big deal. Then we got to the check-out process… (and this is where, if I had fairy dust, would sprinkle it.
Apparently, the main-chain grocery stores here do NOT believe in having baggers (you know, those helpful people who put your items in your (hopefully reusable) bags, while the cashier scans everything and chats with you. Nor do they believe in empowering you to bag your own groceries, hence the counter is set up so that is not even an option.
Sadly, the typical scenario is this: I just spent 30 minutes trying to maneuver around what feels like half of the city and now approach the deep check-out line. The line itself would not be a problem, I am quite patient in line, that is until I can see the doom at the end of the line… The cashier is essentially trying to do 2 jobs at once, and is often failing… to the point that my curly parsley is now flat parsley because they have put heavy cans and such on top of it in the bag… I shudder inwardly, hoping this process ends soon, so I can run out the door and re-arrange our groceries.
I get it, some people throw their stuff "out-of-order" on the conveyer belt and that is what they get. However, what about the people who try?!? People like me, who put all my produce together (heavier produce first like potatoes), and put all my heavier stuff together?!? Why does it feel like I am being punished despite my efforts?!
I grew up in New York, where I remember being in awe of the cashiers and baggers who bagged so well (that was not supposed to sound so dirty… anyways). It was like watching Tetris… AMAZING! And your curly parsley would still be curly when you got home. Also, they did not put cold items next to produce in order to prevent wilting and such. A concept that I thought was common sense…
Then I moved to the South where this skills lacked, but they had space and loved it when you bagged your own groceries (so polite the south)! And my problems were solved until now… it's difficult, I can't lie. I have only had one cashier who bagged well, and I complimented him one it. He was shocked to hear that I have had such poor experiences, I assured him that this rare skill of his would take him far in life (well, it should take him far in my opinion).
For now I will have the opportunity to practice patience as the cashiers attempt to do 2 jobs and keep F****** it up. Oh, I meant, bagging it up….

How to Make a Successful Mobile App
If you're an enterprising business person, then you have probably set your eyes on getting into the mobile app business. The mobile app industry is worth billions of dollars and it just keeps on growing each year. So getting a slice of that big, profitable pie is the main goal of many… including yourself. But how do you go about creating a successful app?
First things first, you don't need to be a computer programmer or developer to come up with your own mobile app. There are many app developers out there who you can hire to create an app for you. Just give them your idea, let them know what you want from an app, and they will create it for you. It's not a super easy process but it allows none app developers to have their own products.
Now there are many factors to be considered when it comes to making an app that will sell like hotcakes. Here are some you need to keep in mind:
1. Fill a need.
Just like with any process of coming up with a product, one of the best approaches is by finding out what your potential customers need then create the product or solution that they are willing to pay for. For example, there are many people who have diabetes. One app that you can do is something that lists a weekly meal plan with ingredients that are low in the glycemic index to help diabetics cope with their condition.
2. Make it very easy to use.
Mobile apps should be intuitive because if people have a hard time figuring out how to use it, they'll just ditch it for the next similar app that they can find. People should be able to learn how it works within seconds, not even in minutes. Also, to make sure it is easy to use, you should check for any bugs and fix them immediately otherwise they'll take away the fun out of your app.
3. Figure out the best way to earn from it.
This is not just for you as the businessman but also for the users of your app. That's because there are certain modes of app income that can be irritating to the users. For example, if you place advertisements on the app and they keep on popping up too often, it can be a very unpleasant experience for the user. Make sure it doesn't interrupt with how the app should be used. So find a middle ground where people will have a grand time using your app while you're still able to make money out of it.
4. Market the app the right way.
Your mobile app is your product and for people to download it they must first learn about it. So try your best to market it to the right people by bringing it to their attention. Like our example above, let's say you created an app for diabetics, then one way to promote it is to advertise in journals or publications that focus on diabetes. You may also get a health and lifestyle blogger review your app on his or her website.
Of course, do not forget to also do a market research first before you spend money on anything. Learn everything you can about your target audience: where you can find them, their preferences, and how much they are willing to pay for an app like yours.
5. Measure its success.
We all have our own definition of success but for the sake of your mobile app, you should set up a number of metrics to gauge if your app is indeed a great one. One such metric is called the acquisition metric wherein you count the number of downloads that your app got for a certain period of time. It's obvious, right? The more downloads, the more successful the app is. But there are other metrics such as engagement and retention metrics.
Your app success is waiting for you!
Creating a successful mobile app is not an easy thing to do, but with the right strategy it is definitely achievable. So get cracking on your vision of making that next app sensation.

Two more PoK visitors turn out to be ISI agents
27 November 2009
The Daily Excelsior
Sanjeev Pargal
Tufail Hussain Shah, a cross-LoC visitor is not the only guest from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), who has been found linked to militancy. Shahs questioning has revealed that another PoK visitor Mudassar Hussain Shah alias Babbu Shah, a resident of Panaag Sharief, PoK, is a hit man of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and was presently putting up at Chajla, Mendhar after his travel to Poonch in weekly bus service from Chakan-Da-Bagh about 20 days back. Yet another ISI agent has managed to return to PoK after more than a month long stay in Mendhar. Babbu Shah is being searched by police. His passport and permit have been impounded. He is reported to have married a Fazlabad, Surankote woman, who happened to be wife of a Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militant, presently detained in a Jammu jail. Official sources said Tufail, who has become first legal visitor from PoK to be booked under Prevention of Unlawful Activities Act (mostly slapped on militants), has spilled beans during his sustained interrogation by all important security and Intelligence agencies (both from the State and the Centre) at Joint Interrogation Centre (JIC), Jammu. Sources said Tufail is reported to have named an ISI hit man Mudassar Hussain Shah alias Babbu Shah alias Babbu Peer son of Habib Shah, a resident of Panag Sharief, PoK, who had entered Poonch on weekly Poonch-Rawlakote bus service on a valid permit. Habib Shah, a Peer also travelled with his son but, according to sources, he was not aware of his sons ISI connections. Babbu Shah, according to sources, had intentionally been planted by the ISI to Poonch as a cross-LoC visitor to co-ordinate activities with the militants in Mendhar and enroll some local youths into the militancy. Under a strategy to facilitate his frequent visits to Poonch on the bus service, Babbu Shah married Sobia daughter of late Abdul Hamid Malik, who worked as a Pharmacist R-o Fazlabad, Surankote soon after his arrival from PoK. Sobia was earlier married to a top LeT militant, who was captured by police and is presently lodged in Kot Bhalwal jail. Babbu Shah married Sobia within a couple of days of his arrival from PoK about 20 days back, which made security agencies believe that the marriage was pre-planned and Sobia might have also been won over by the ISI and its mentors and asked to marry Babbu to ensure his stay on this side is extended and he was able to visit Poonch again. According to sources, Babbu Shahs arrest is on cards. His passport, which he had brought with him and permit of Poonch-Rawlakote route, have been impounded by the administration to ensure that he didnt manage to escape. Security agencies and police were reported to have fanned out in Chajla, Mendhar to apprehend Babbu Shah. Tufail is reported to have disclosed that Akram Shah, who had given him the satellite telephone was in fact a Personal Assistant in the Office of Sub Divisional Magistrate (SDM), Rawlakote. Akram was reportedly working for the ISI and had been given satellite telephone and Pakistani SIM cards by a Pakistan Army officer. A fabricate steel trunk to conceal satellite phone and its accessories besides the SIM cards were also given to Tufail by Akram. Akram Shah, sources said, had also visited Poonch as a cross-LoC visitor and stayed in Mendhar for about a month before returning to PoK. Security agencies were tracing his permit number to ascertain the name of persons in whose house he had stayed. Akram was too on a mission in Mendhar which could be revealed by Babbu Shah during his questioning. Tufail was told that Babbu Shah would collect the satellite telephone from him at Poonch Bus Stand after speaking a coded message Peer Saheb Ne Beja Hai. According to reports, Babbu Shah had reached Poonch from Mendhar on Monday to collect satellite telephone from Tufail. However, he slipped away and returned to Mendhar after getting reports that the phone has been detected and Tufail arrested by police. Sources said Babbu Shahs father, Habib Shah was in Chajla, Mendhar for last over a month and his stay has recently been extended for another month. Both father-son duo had reached Poonch together on permits. According to sources, Babbu Shah had been tasked by the ISI to hand over satellite telephone to a Lashkar commander. Name of the commander, they said, would be known only once Babbu Shah is arrested and subjected to sustained interrogation. Babbu Shah, when arrested, will become second legal visitor from PoK to be booked in a militancy case under Prevention of Unlawful Activities Act. While security agencies have decided not to detain Habib Shah, a decision on whether to arrest Sobia would be taken after the questioning of Babbu to know whether she had militant connections or not. According to sources, the confirmed ISI connection of three cross-LoC visitors so far has created doubts among security agencies that some of the visitors are being used by the ISI and Pakistan Army to serve their purpose.

... for Rhys Evans (an enquiring GCSE student) :-)
Where do you get your ideas and inspirations from? Do you just get them from your surroundings or is there a story behind each piece? It is difficult to give a straight forward answer to this. When I was younger I used to think art had to be really complex to be good, but with time I have realised that keeping things simple / paring things down can be a bigger statement. The materials I use are old - oil paint, canvas, etching - and come from my interest in History of Art and wanting to connect with the past and see if I can use old materials in new ways. History of Art shows us that putting something in a painting gives it significance. In my work I take conventionally insignificant, value-less things from my surroundings and through painting draw attention to them. I like the idea that the painting invests them with importance, because for me the things I choose to paint have greater importance than for most people, who might overlook them. I think there is a great beauty in tangled weeds / the overgrown especially in contrast with the man-made forms around us. I like looking at their complicated shapes and painting them with a very fine brush. The act of painting like this feels almost like stitching / weaving, and slowly with each brush-mark the work comes together.

Hello and welcome to my blog!!!
My name is Izzy, I'm 22 years old and live in London.
I've been a keen photographer since I purchased my first bridge camera when I was 17 and spent an entire summer taking photographs and creating a portfolio so I could study photography at college. After a year of learning film and cameraless photography and spending many hours in the dark room I decided that studying photography wasn't for me, instead I wanted try to improve my photography by just getting out there and having a go. So four years on I've done volunteer photography, portrait photography, event photography and family photography, but I was missing that fun and creative side of my hobby that I loved at college. Which is why I decided to start this blog, to give me a reason to get out there and photograph everything and then share them with all of you.
Like many, I was first taught to bake by my Nan from a very young age. We spent hours in the kitchen baking cakes, decorating biscuits and making a lot of mess. Since then I have always had an interest in baking, but lacked the motivation to take this hobby further. It wasn't until a rather chaotic cupcake baking and decorating party I had for my 18th birthday that I rediscovered my love for baking. Like everything else in my life I decided to give it a go, so after a year of trying out different recipes, decorating techniques and making more mess I got my first order for cupcakes. Ever since then I haven't looked back. Now I love experimenting with flavours and crazy designs. In the summer of 2015 I decided to bring these ideas to my local Country Market. I thoroughly enjoy making a range of homemade produce and selling them weekly in a small Surrey village. Seeing the look of delight on peoples' faces and recieving such positive feed back has been a great motivation and has encouraged me to expand my hobby into bread, pastry, dessert and confectionary baking. Now I want to start sharing my ideas and experience with all of you.

My wife, Jean, grew this Spider Plant a few years ago. We couldn't keep it in the house because our cat, Ming, would have tipped it over or dug in the soil every chance he got. So, we put it in the garage in front of the most sun filled, west facing, window. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Spider Plant the hanging growth is new growth and each one can be transplanted to start a new plant. (if I understand correctly.) It is a perennial plant!

Absinth by Nasomatto
Alessandro Gualtieri beside some others like Roja Dove and Tom Ford, is one of the keenest portraits in perfume world as he approached the industry upon very strong steps. His first line, Nasomatto, to be honest, is one of the most attractive and most expressed ones, and still is: the cute tiny simple yet artistic bottle designs, the interesting bottle head, the titles which solely are evocative and intriguing and the harsh price for only 30ml which makes the items rather desirable. And this desire became even stronger and thirstier at first while the line was not introduced in most of the world.
Among Gualtieri's creation of the first generation, Black Afgano is the king and the most overlooked and most fashioned, not simply because the perceiving appearance and the fragrance itself, but also for containing cannabis accord which acquired compliment from several groups of people. The titles, Hindu Grass and Narcotic Venus, no matter how the scents are, are also at the same condition.
Absinth, last but not the least, is probably the most underrated and beloved one, although, the fragrance has not lesser than the top sellers in quality.
The notes listed for Absinth are vetiver, wormwood, herbal notes, however there are some others detectable as woodsy notes like faint oud, mint probably, and spicy notes.
Absinth is certainly not an absinthe-influenced perfume as it might be presented for: The fragrance aims to evoke degrees of hysteria. It is the result of a quest to stimulate irresponsible behaviour.
What I believe is that behind every creation of The Nose there lies an artistic value, yet it is not that melancholic to mesmerize me.
Absinth boldly initiates with semi-grassy synthetic side representing smoky vetiver merged with some sweet woody accord which for the next step draws wormwood up into the veins to a certain level underneath the grassy mood.
There's nothing too much to indicate for me as the performance is impressively linear and evergoing like other creations of The Nose. It is not exactly similar to absinthe the booze, better to say a metamorphosis and abstract take of vetiver+wormwood to sum up in a smoky bulky and strangely un-urban fashionable fragrance which is charming but not sexy at all; just like other creations of Nasomatto project that unlike the fragrances, ads suggest so sexy contents.

Cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of a Web-based or print-delivered tailored intervention to promote physical activity among adults aged over fifty: an economic evaluation of the Active Plus intervention
Cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of a Web-based or print-delivered tailored intervention to promote physical activity among adults aged over fifty: an economic evaluation of the Active Plus intervention - Descarga este documento en PDF.

International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity
, 11:122
First Online: 28 September 2014Received: 25 March 2014Accepted: 19 September 2014
BackgroundThe adverse health effects of insufficient physical activity PA result in high costs to society. The economic burden of insufficient PA, which increases in our aging population, stresses the urgency for cost-effective interventions to promote PA among older adults. The current study provides insight in the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of different versions of a tailored PA intervention Active Plus among adults aged over fifty.
MethodsThe intervention conditions i.e. print-delivered basic PB; N = 439, print-delivered environmental PE; N = 435, Web-based basic WB; N = 423, Web-based environmental WE; N = 432 and a waiting-list control group were studied in a clustered randomized controlled trial. Intervention costs were registered during the trial. Health care costs, participant costs and productivity losses were identified and compared with the intervention effects on PA in MET-hours per week and quality-adjusted life years QALYs 12 months after the start of the intervention. Cost-effectiveness ratios ICERs and cost-utility ratios ICURs were calculated per intervention condition. Non-parametric bootstrapping techniques and sensitivity analyses were performed to account for uncertainty.
ResultsAs a whole i.e. the four intervention conditions together the Active Plus intervention was found to be cost-effective. The PB-intervention ICER = €-55-MET-hour, PE-intervention ICER = €-94-MET-hour and the WE-intervention ICER = €-139-MET-hour all resulted in higher effects on PA and lower societal costs than the control group. With regard to QALYs, the PB-intervention ICUR = €38,120-QALY, the PE-intervention ICUR = €405,892-QALY and the WE-intervention ICUR = €-47,293-QALY were found to be cost-effective when considering a willingness-to-pay threshold of €20,000-QALY. In most cases PE had the highest probability to be cost-effective.
ConclusionsThe Active Plus intervention was found to be a cost-effective manner to increase PA in a population aged over fifty when compared to no-intervention. The tailored Active Plus intervention delivered through printed material and with additional environmental information PE turned out to be the most cost-effective intervention condition as confirmed by the different sensitivity analyses. By increasing PA at relatively low costs, the Active Plus intervention can contribute to a better public health.

Plagiarism is defined as the direct copying and misrepresenting of someone else's work as one's own. When using someone else's words you must give credit, whether the words were written or spoken. To not give credit would be considered plagiarism and cheating in all areas. Technology has made it easier for students to plagiarise. It's easy to click download on a paper so you don't have to write it yourself. It is also easier to copy and paste words from digital books and text, and websites than it used to be to write out someone else's work.
Programs are available to teachers to check for plagiarism such as Turnitin. Some students plagiarise because they do not understand what constitutes plagiarism. Teachers can try to avoid this problem before it happens by educating students early on referencing their work and what plagiarism is.
The way a teacher constructs the assignment can also help to avoid plagiarism. Do not ask students to recite facts, but give an assignment that requires them to think and give their personal viewpoint on a subject.
Tech Tool
iGoogle lets you personally design you Google search page. A teacher can choose to have news from their subject area i.e science or mathematics displayed on the homepage. This would allow the teacher to easily begin lessons with up to date news articles.
iGoogle also allows you to view your google calendar without going to a separate page and add a to do list which would be useful for lesson planning.
After creating my own iGoogle page I saw a notice at the top saying the iGoogle would no linger be available after 1st November 2013. They suggest changing to google chrome for similar features.

A big question we get when customers are looking into trying our products is "are these shakes okay to use when you have high blood pressure?" Which isn't surprising when you see the latest studies released from the CDC shows that a whopping 90% of Americans are consuming too much salt. Sodium can be a major factor in high blood pressure, and that puts you at a much higher risk for heart disease or a stroke.
First, as for the IdealShape shake; we always recommend speaking with your doctor before beginning our product if you have any doubts. However, the main nutrients that help regulate blood pressure are Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Vitamin E, and Zinc. All of which are accounted for in the shake's nutrient blend.
The other big factor is keeping your sodium intake low. Soda, burgers, pizza and most junk food contain not only a large amount of calories, but their sodium levels can be just as scary. (The IdealShape shake has only 230 mg per serving.)
The CDC recommends a healthy sodium intake of 2300 milligrams and yet the average American's intake is at 3,300 milligrams! That's puts us at almost 150% of the recommended intake. Also, if you're over the age of 51 or have high blood pressure, you should try to keep your intake to about 1,500 milligrams daily, which makes that 3,300 average even scarier.
So does dropping your sodium intake mean that you have to drop your current menu? Not always! While fast food doesn't leave much room for alteration, your recipes can make minor changes without losing all that flavor, in some cases, you can even add some more.
What do I mean by that? Well how about Bacon Salt. A Bacon-flavored seasoning that contains ½ the sodium level of even the best salt substitutes out on the market. Plus, it's Kosher, 0-calories and Vegetarian. And yes, I can attest to its terrific flavor. (Their company slogan is also awesome.)
There are some pretty amazing sodium alternatives out there, and if you're watching your blood pressure I bet you've seen a few. So let us know in the comments what sodium alternatives you are using.

{{{ Life altering experiences. }}}
Yes, this is the perfect way to express my views on the reading and exploring of Linda Goodman.
Damien Nicholes was the person who actually turned me on to Linda Goodman back in like... um?... 1994 or so? What a charactor he was (in a very good way)He was maybe 17 years old and the most well spoken, spiritually minded, adorable Leo you'de ever meet. Seemed pretty intrigued by my venus in scorpio too, LOL!
It began with a simple assessment of my charactor based upon my Sun Sign...
He did this quite matter of factly. I being the curious truth seeking Sagittarian that I am, bit. Within minutes he had me gasping. I was sure somehow he had secret esoteric knowledge up his sleeve. He grasiously shared a copy of Linda Goodmans Sun Signs with me until I'd worn it out from cover to cover. Needless to say I had to go out a buy my own copy. Week after week following I anaylized every family member, friend, coworker, and associate I had ever had contact with in life. Astonished again and again I just could'nt let this astrology idea go...
I discovered too that a persons sun sign at birth was just the tip of the iceburg... soooooooo much more to astrology, each planet, each aspect, all unique to only me given the precise moment of my birth and the location. I learned about ephemersis's, table of houses, relocation, etc. Before long I was a wiz at hand drawing a persons astrological birthchart. I could do intense math calculations to discover challenges in their world. I recognized by visual site of a chart a persons potentials. The only one thing I could'nt do with these things was convince another living soul of the significance, LOL! It seemed I was all alone in this discovery, this passion, this bliss.
Linda had a writing style all her own. She had a way of making the reader feel cozy comfortable and uncomfortably addressed all at the same time. What I mean by this is when you read something so spot on about yourself it can be somewhat frightening coming from one who's never met your gaze, nor spoke with you.
From this point on, I was on a mission! With a great passion I explored every area of esoteric sciences you could imagine. Along the way I purchased every book I could get my hands on. I became obsessed with learning everything I could to enrich my spiritual path. Linda Goodman did just that, with book after book! One book in particular took me down paths most folk never dreamed of going; it is called "Star Signs"
This book is much more broad based and esoteric than her previous books, and is an easily accessible, fun, yet serious guide to what she claims are ancient wisdoms including:
Star Signs as a guide to your career - the work you were born to do.
Numerology - the vital link between the power of numbers and astrology.
Lexigrams - the ancient codes revealing the hidden meanings of words.
Forgotten Rainbows - the power of gems and light, and how colors shape your life.
Some of the observations and suggestions in Star Signs may seem startling, even unbelievable. Refreshingly, you are encouraged by the author to be sceptical - but to try out her ideas for yourself before deciding whether or not to accept them
This book contains a basic survival spiritual-kit some of us need for exploring life. Treasure this book, give it to friends and strangers...
Don't forget to read between the lines!
Today, even after all these years have passed; You will find people across the world who embrace Lindas teachings, beliefs, and ideas.
In my own search to connect with others of like mind, I discovered a most wonderous assortment of friends at a magical place called Linda Land. Click here if you're curious? It's a forum area where her writings and life are both honored and explored in depth.
If you wish to explore the books yourself, PLEASE by all means go and purchase them!
You will NOT regret it!

A court in Canada is set to make a decision on whether to declare the laws against polygamy unconstitutional in that country. I think it might be a good idea here too, though it would probably be a tax code and legal nightmare.
It doesn't have to be.
She then goes into Carolyn Jessop's book and recent news about some FLDS communities.
Despite her own negative experiences, she favors decriminalizing polygamy because she thinks it will offer women in these situations more legal protection and perhaps prevent some of the all-too-common abuses, such as underage marriages. I think she has a good point there.
So do I.
She then mentions Muslim polygyny, and how homes are broken up when not all of the wives and children are allowed to immigrate with the husband.
I'm not sure how practical it would be to legalize polygamy, but I think an argument could be made that refusal to recognize it or prosecuting people for practicing it is a violation of freedom of religion.
It's also a violation of the freedom of association and equal treatment. People can want a polygamous marriage without a religious basis, and they should be allowed that. It doesn't matter if they are basing it on a religion, or what religion, or not. It doesn't matter if they are the same race or not, the same generation or not, if they are closely related or not, if they are the same gender or not, or there are two, three, four, or more of them. Let them have the freedom to marry. Let's have full marriage equality.
Elmwood commented…
I have done a little reading about Polygamy and one question I have is how could one man with 20 wives and over 110 children support them?
There's nothing stopping any man from impregnating 20 consenting women right now. There are many men who have impregnated four or more women in a short time span. We pay some of these men large sums to play in professional sports, for example, but even if a man is unable to pay all of his child support, he is not prevented from impregnating more women. Most people know a woman who has children by three or more men. With marriage equality, at least we'd have more children will be growing with married parents.

Zion is built on Doctrine. You can take a modern ward and let them live the gospel as they understand it today for 100 years and you will not end up with Zion.
Zion descends from above. It requires changes in our understanding, and in our hearts that the disinterested approach that we are taking to the scriptures can never bring about.
You may disagree and say that we are very interested. But the proof of the pudding lies under the crust. You listen to people talk, you listen to them teach, you listen to the speak and you come away knowing that we do not have the love for the scriptures that is necessary to bring about Zion.
I am not talking about knowing technical, finicky details about the scriptures that are of no particular relevance to salvation. We don't understand the big things. We don't understand the atonement. We don't understand the real meaning of grace. We don't understand the priesthood. We don't understand keys. We don't understand the temple. We don't love the scriptures. We say we do. But you listen to us talk. We aren't excited about what they contain. We don't quote them as being critical insights and direction about life.
When we want to offer a critical insight about life, we quote something that could be found on pinterest instead.
I think you could safely say that some of us love the living leaders of the church. It is darn few, but they are there. They adore general conference. They know what was taught. They listen in great detail.
And I am very glad to see that. I am very glad when I talk to someone and they know and think about and are trying to live by what was taught in general conference.
But the scriptures are the fountainhead. It is the scriptures that are the great issue in these verses.
D&C 84:54 And your minds in times past have been darkened because of unbelief, and because you have treated lightly the things you have received—
55 Which vanity and unbelief have brought the whole church under condemnation.
56 And this condemnation resteth upon the children of Zion, even all.
57 And they shall remain under this condemnation until they repent and remember the new covenant, even the Book of Mormon and the former commandments which I have given them, not only to say, but to do according to that which I have written—
58 That they may bring forth fruit meet for their Father's kingdom; otherwise there remaineth a scourge and judgment to be poured out upon the children of Zion.
59 For shall the children of the kingdom pollute my holy land? Verily, I say unto you, Nay.
We must dive into the scriptures. We must be striving to define our lives by the truths in the scriptures. We must weigh our traditions against them, instead of weighing the scriptures by our traditions.
And we must read them by the power of the Holy Ghost.
He will come as we live worthy of him. We must cast off, desparately cast off, everything that is offense to him. We must go to God and beg from him to have the knowledge of what we need to change to gain eternal life, and to hear him clearly in our lives. We should not only let the Holy Ghost be our guide, but let those things that most powerfully bring the Holy Ghost into our lives lay out the direction for what we must be doing. When we find that one spiritual pursuit brings us potently into the presence of the Holy Ghost, such as teaching the gospel, or taking a family name to the temple, then we should pursue that as a man who is a miser pursues riches and gold. He will change his plans, alter his daily business however he needs to increase the measure of his wealth. THAT is how we need to live, but we need to do it seeking the spirit rather than seeking for mammon.
Zion cannot be built by one man. Brigham Young pointed out that some of the church members of his day had the principles of Zion in themselves, individually. But we need to not be content if someone else knows the doctrine. We need to not be content if we feel the brethren know the doctrine, or have the spirit, or know their God.
Salvation is an individual quest. We can take counsel at the hands of those who know more, but ultimately the question is how well we, ourselves, have worked out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Ultimately it will be to individuals, not to groups, or wards, or stakes that the Savior will say either "Come ye blessed" or "Depart. Ye never knew me."
We need, as a people, to fall in love with the scriptures, for Zion is built on doctrine in the souls of the people. Zion is built by a people who feast on the scriptures. Zion is built by a people who long to know their God, and rejoice to learn of him through his word.

Wing Ding 39 QST
Membership Enhancement Program
"Lead Like You Ride"
HAM Radio SIG
The GWRRA Ham Radio Special Interest Group is a GWRRA program, which is now part of the Membership Enhancement Division. The SIGs are not designed to compete with the existing GWRRA Programs, but to provide additional ways for members with specific interests to network, ask interest specific questions and add more fun in their life. The SIG program requires "NO" extra membership fees, but does require that you are a GWRRA Member. It will NOT organize independent Ham Radio Chapters or hold monthly meetings. All GWRRA Members who are, or are thinking of becoming, a Ham Radio Operator may participate with this SIG. If you are a GWRRA Member and interested in participating send your name, State, GWRRA Membership Number and expiration date of your Membership to us so we can add you to our database as this information will enable us to notify you of all information regarding the SIG.
We will have informational booths at rallies to inform all Ham Radio Operators about the SIG and to get and share ideas with you. We will be offering Ham Radio seminars at Rallies and at Wing Ding each year. The seminars are open to anyone, whether you are a Ham Radio Operator or just thinking about becoming one. Ham Radio seminars are to introduce and promote Ham Radio, answer questions for those interested in having Ham Radios on their motorcycles, and to address different technical issues involving interfacing their Radio's to their motorcycles. We promote Membership Retention by showing members that this is another way to stay active in GWRRA and continue riding.
The Ham SIG has a message board for all to enjoy, as well as a web site. Visit both by going to http://www.gwrra.org and clicking on message board or go to Programs and under the Membership Enhancement click on Ham Radio SIG. Let us get out and ride, visit, eat when the occasion calls for it and have "FUN". After all, is that not the reasons we joined GWRRA to begin with, to have "FUN" and "enjoy riding"? Now we can do all these things and at the same time enjoy our Ham Radios.
Any program takes a lot of hard work and planning and we are willing to give this our best and hope you will support us. If you have any questions concerning the Ham Radio SIG, please let us know and we will be glad to answer them for you. If you would like to participate with the Ham Radio Special Interest Group, please let me know by sending me an email email@example.com.

Maybe you teach every year or maybe you just saw the notice in the parish bulletin that there is still an opening for the third grade faith formation teacher, you wonder, "Can I teach this year?"
The key to finding time to teach the faith is getting organized. The first step is assessing whether you have the time. Check your home calendar against all the days you would teach. Are there any conflicts that jump out at you? Then mock up a lesson plan and see how long it will take you to prepare for each class. Check your availability for that time too.
Being organized also means being prepared. Who will your students be? Do they have issues (such as learning problems or attention problems) that you should know about ahead of class time? Look over the class list and ask the faith formation director any questions you may have. Unlike school teachers, we are not automatically given this information and we may need to look into things a little bit to get these answers. Other important information may include parent contact information, or if the child(ren) have had any major life changes recently. (Divorce, death of a grandparent or a parent losing their job may add stress in the child's life and on their classroom experience.)
Is your classroom space ready? Decorating your class and having all the tools you need at your fingertips will help you to stay organized. Consider spending an hour or two setting up your class before the first day of religion classes if possible. Do you know who hands out books and supplies for your church's faith formation program? Are you responsible for buying supplies or are they provided for you? Finding out the answers to these questions ahead of time will put you at ease.
Do you need to have some back up projects or reading materials? We all end up with days when the lesson moves ahead too slowly or too quickly. Being prepared for this occasion will help you as a teacher to remain relaxed and calm.
Consider team-teaching if your time is limited or you are nervous about teaching alone. Having a substitute lined up in case you are ill can also help you feel prepared for this new year.
Once you have looked at the actual time teaching will take, answered your questions about who is responsible for what and prepared your class, you will be ready for a productive and fun year of teaching the faith.

Nic Cage is a Bigger Paycheck Wh*re Than We Could've Ever Imagined
By Dustin Rowles | Industry | April 7, 2009 |
By Dustin Rowles | Industry | April 7, 2009 |
This probably fits more under celebrity news, but I can't resist (also, slow news day). Over on HuffPo, they're reporting that Nic Cage has had to sell his Bavarian castle because of the crummy economy (and that HuffPo is reporting this as news surely indicates they're having a slow news day, too). Said Cage: "Due to the difficult economic situation, unfortunately, I was no longer able to keep it. Even if Neidstein castle is no longer in my possession, it will always have a firm place in my memory." (Cage still owns a castle in England.)
Really? The economy is hurting Nic Cage? He's been in nine films since 2006 (some of them were even blockbuster hits) and he's got seven more on his dance card through 2010. Is the man really hurting for cash? Can he really not afford that second castle?
Maybe so. I mean, you have to be a certain level of broke to embarrass yourself as bad as he does in the following five commercials he's done for the Japanese pinball/slot machine, Pachinko. They are bad. Wicker Man bad. This man is a whore. There is no level he will not stoop to.
