- Great news. So pleased. Many cats get fed by others. I know someone whose cat goes awol for about three weeks, and then returns home, looking well fed. He then stays home for about a week, and is off again. That`s cats for you:-) I would keep her in for a l;east a week, or she may go awol again. Stay close now Suzki:-)xxxLast edited: 2018-03-14 19:50:41 by janiejewel1649

- Hi, many cats that go missing have got into a delivery van or car and hitched a lift to their next port of call. Was there a delivery van around that day? Ask neighbours. Then call the delivery company and ask where the vehicle went next. You could call all the local delivery agents that you normally see around and ask if they had a delivery in your road that day. Most vans use gps now and can say exactly where they went each day. A local cat got into a van and jumped out at a care home a couple of miles away after medications were delivered there. A friend noticed a poster on their gates and told the cat's owners. He had been regularly fed by the care home people and they were actively looking for his family. Really hope your cat comes home soon, thinking of you

Yo! Happy Saturday to you!! Anyway, today, I have a 3 way interview with Amber99HOA, KimberlyAmaya, and Houseofanubisfanforever55!
'BatPeddieSeddieSibuna:' If you had to choose one pairing, or ship, from any show to ship, what would it be, and why?
Amber99HOA: AMFIE!!!!!!!!!!! Cuz my fav show is HOA, my fav character is Amber, and I think Alfie is SOOO hot!!!!
KimberlyAmaya: Bori, from Victorious because they already seem so close as friends, and Tori has never really had a romance that has lasted longer than at least 3 episodes and it would be nice to see two close friends taking it to the next level : )
Houseofanubisfanforever55: I would pick Fabina because they are my favorite couple from HOA, and I love them being romantic.
'BatPeddieSeddieSibuna:' What is your favorite part of this wiki?
Houseofanubisfanforever55: Being able to chat on the chats, and talk to my friends and pm them, and meet new people on the chat.
Amber99HOA: Umm that's a hard one, I really LOVE this wiki!!! I also like all the members of the site! They are so helpful and so nice! So everything is my fav!!!
KimberlyAmaya My favorite part would have to be the Daily News, and just interacting with the community through the chat, messages, and blog posts.
'BatPeddieSeddieSibuna' If you could improve something in this wiki, what would you improve?
Amber99HOA: Um, I really don't think anything needs to be changed; Rachel did such a good job with this wiki!!! Thanks Rach!!!
Houseofanubisfanforever55: Um, I'll improve some of the edits on this Wikia.
KimberlyAmaya: The organization of the jobs and everything, the articles should at least be written everyday, because they are called the daily news. If the news isn't going to be written everyday…then they really shouldn't be called Daily.
'BatPeddieSeddieSibuna:' Do you have anything to say before I wrap up the interview?
Amber99HOA: This is the BEST WIKI EVER!!!! THANKS SO MUCH RACH!!! AND EVRYONE WHO MADE THHIS WIKI LIGITLY AWESOME!!!!!!!
Houseofanubisfanforever55: I love this wikia, and I love the edits they do on here, and the comments and the chat
KimberlyAmaya: I really miss the community.
Now, for the article:
So, first question, did you all see Nick's new movie, Rags? It was an awesome movie about following your dreams and being yourself. I highly recommend it, and if you haven't seen it yet, it's on today, so watch it! Also, Burkley Duffield, the actor that plays Eddie, was in it, playing the role of Lloyd! That's even more reason to watch it. If you have seen it, tell me what you thought of it in the comments!
Note: I did the interview before Kim came back, when she was on. This is probably why she said she misses the community, since she was off.

To be accustomed to reading the news daily, checking social media, watching TV and documentaries, one believes one is in touch with what is going on globally, however this is only true to a very superficial level.
The enormity of the world is overwhelming and our individual presence unnoticeable.
It is so easy to limit our thinking to our immediate environment and become comfortable and satisfied with our daily routine.
That is the wonder and genius of travel.
Our thinking, our mind and our philosophy change for the better and subsequently we can try and improve our life when we return and hopefully the lives of others. However to come to this realisation requires travel and many people are too deep in their comfort zone to even think to explore other people, cultures and places.
That is the magic of the travel bug. It is conspicuous but if never searched for, the benefits can never be reaped.

Dobbs leads Marlins to 7-5 win over Astros
HOUSTON — Greg Dobbs homered and drove in three runs and the Florida Marlins beat the Houston Astros 7-5 on Saturday night.
Dobbs was in the lineup at third base because Donnie Murphy moved to shortstop with All-Star Hanley Ramirez out with a bruised leg.
The Marlins trailed by three in the sixth inning before an RBI double by Mike Stanton made it 4-2. Dobbs tied it with his two-out, two-run homer that landed in the right-field bullpen later in the sixth.
Chris Coghlan and Omar Infante both hit run-scoring doubles in the seventh before Dobbs pushed the lead to 7-4 with an RBI double in the eighth.
Hunter Pence had two hits and drove in two runs for the Astros, who have lost seven of their first eight games.
Marlins starter Javier Vazquez (1-1) allowed eight hits and four runs in six innings for the win. Leo Nunez gave up one hit in a scoreless ninth for his third save.
Houston's Bud Norris gave up five hits and four runs in six innings.
Coghlan hit the second of three straight doubles off reliever Fernando Abad (1-1) in the seventh inning to score Wes Helms and make it 5-4. Infante hit the third double to send Coghlan home and push the lead to 6-4. Abad retired Logan Morrison before he was replaced by Wilton Lopez, who struck out Stanton for the third out.
The Marlins offense didn't get rolling until the sixth inning. Morrison started it off with a single with one out before scoring on a double by Stanton that landed on Tal's Hill in center field. Then came Dobbs' first homer of the year that tied it at 4-4.

Plush Animals Features
** Plush Scum Microbe
** Brown with Darker "Strap" around "Face"
** Made by Giant Microbes
** 5-7 inch OR 3 Mini Microbes in a Petri Dish
Let's talk about scum! No, we're not going to discuss people of low society and questionable moral character (sorry ladies, your ex was a jerk. We apologize). We're not even talking about wretched hives of ne'er-do-wells (how else were we supposed to make the joke work?)
We're talking about the foul film or layer that can form on top of a liquid. From the green or brown gunk floating on the surface of a pond, fish tank or other body of water, scum is pretty nasty stuff. This guy is proof enough of that. Even so, he's cute, in a grotesque sort of way. If you've ever left dishes in the sink full of water, eventually, you'd notice this. In the case of dirty dishes, it can make your kitchen stink, and why haven't you cleaned it up already? And this is one good reason not to leave dishes laying around, we can tell you!
This adorably nasty little guy with his beady black eyes and 'hug me!' demeanor comes with a tag, just like all Giant Microbes, that tells all about where he is from and what he does. Even nasty little guys like this can be fun and informative. Know the best way to kick this bad guy to the curb? Break out the sponge, latex gloves and cleaning solution. That will teach this guy to poke his nose where it's not wanted!

Wood WorkMany of the projects that we do require some level of wood working. This ranges from building simple vegetable gardens to constructing large arbors or pergolas. Wood work can add subtle grace to an area of the garden or it can be a prominent centerpiece. It can also range from a classic traditional picket fence to a sleek modern looking trellis with metal cable running between beams.
The most common wood working we do are arbors, decks, fences and trellises but we can work with you to come up with the best custom design for your project including size and type of lumber, color, and finish.

Did you know that August 22nd is National Take Your Cat to the Vet Day? You may be wondering why such a day is needed. Well, research shows that even though cats outnumber dogs as the most popular pet in the United States, they aren't being seen by veterinarians as often as dogs. Therefore, this day was established to raise awareness that just because cats are independent and don't often show outward signs of illness until it is too late, doesn't mean that they don't need an annual check-up. According to Dr. Ruth MacPete DVM, from the Pet Health Network, it is crucial to visit your vet at least once a year for the following reasons:
Why Annual Visits Are Important!
Physical Exam
Routine examinations allow veterinarians to check for signs of illness. In cats, these can be subtle and easy to overlook. Your vet will also do a head-to-tail exam to look for changes or abnormalities. The earlier medical issues are discovered and addressed the better the outcome.
Immunizations are an important way to protect pets from preventable, infectious diseases. Your veterinarian will determine which vaccines your cat needs depending on their age, lifestyle, and risk exposure.
Parasite Prevention
Your veterinarian will also check your cat for external parasites like fleas, ticks and ear mites, and check a stool sample for internal parasites, like roundworms, hookworms, tapeworms and coccidia. They will also discuss products available to prevent internal and external parasites.
Depending on your cat's age and physical exam findings, your veterinarian may recommend screening blood tests. Screening blood tests are an important way to detect diseases early, even before they become symptomatic. As cats age, diseases like diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and kidney disease become more common. Screening blood work is a great way to detect these diseases early so treatment can be started right away.
Take advantage of this reminder and make an appointment today for your cat's annual check-up.

As a busy Realtor, sometimes it's hard getting your team to contribute more to your cause while simultaneously establishing stronger talent retention. But it doesn't have to be that way.
"You don't necessarily need to add expensive new ingredients to the stew, you just have to know how to use your ingredients better," says Corporate Coach Maxine Attong in a recent press release. "… A corporate or organizational leader knows how to let an ingredient speak for itself, perhaps with just a touch of seasoning, or guidance."
What's the guidance – competition or incentives such as bonuses? Not exactly.
"Most employees want to have more input," says Attong, a certified facilitator and author of "Lead Your Team to Win: Achieve Optimal Performance By Providing A Safe Space For Employees."
If a leader can engender a sense of trust, the group/organization/business will benefit from the individual and the team's ingenuity. A reliable way of establishing a trusting climate is to make team members feel safe, says Attong, who offers these steps:
• Share responsibility; practice "I" statements: With openness, encourage interaction by having team members and leaders enforce the rules and monitor the use of common space. When members break the rules, the team discusses the problems and decides on the sanctions and steps necessary to assist the member in following the rules next time. Speakers are discouraged from using the word "you." Instead, they use "I." This simple yet effective practice encourages personal culpability and discourages blame.
• Consistency: Teams need to consistently follow the agreed-on rules as they set the boundaries and the tone for relationships. Following the rules makes the behavior in the space predictable, which limits uncertainty and increases feelings of safety. Consistent application of the rules helps the team to increase trust as behavior becomes prescriptive and members know more or less what will happen in the room and how they will be treated.
• Judgment: Members must feel they are not being judged. If someone says an idea is bad, the speaker will shut down and in the future will hesitate to give ideas. Less confident team members may refrain from presenting ideas if they are uncertain of the quality of the ideas.
• Good intentions: Not all team members are effective communicators so it may be hard for some to frame and cogently express their thoughts.
• Norming: By this point, team members seem to embrace each other and there is togetherness. Do not be fooled by this. This doesn't mean your team has normed—that each team member makes decisions that advance the goals of the team. It means the safe space concept has let them see each other in a neutral light and accept each other's strengths and weaknesses. While the space may act as an accelerator or catalyst for the team to norm, it is not magic. It does not mean that whatever problems existed before has disappeared. The leader still needs to pay attention and check the team. Regular meetings and team building sessions should still be conducted.

Battlefield 4 is a first-person shooter video game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) and published by Electronic Arts. It is a sequel to 2011's Battlefield 3 and was released on October 29, 2013 in North America. Battlefield 4's single-player Campaign takes place in 2020, six years after the events of its predecessor. Tensions between Russia and the United States have been running at a record high. On top of this, China is also on the brink of war, as Admiral Chang, the main antagonist, plans to overthrow China's current government; and, if successful, the Russians will have full support from the Chinese, bringing China into a war with the United States.
This game title uses the Frostbite 3 game engine and looks great. We tested Battlefield 4 with the Ultra graphics quality preset as most discrete desktop graphics cards can easily play with this IQ setting at 1080P and we still want to be able to push the higher-end cards down the road. We used FRAPS to benchmark each card with these settings on the Shanghai level.
Battlefield 4 is more CPU intensive than any other game that we benchmark with as 25% of the CPU is used up during gameplay. You can see that six threads are being used and that the processor is running in Turbo mode at 3.96GHz more times than not.
Benchmark Results: In Battlefield 4 with Ultra settings at 3840×2160 we were able to average 39.44 FPS on the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X video card versus 43.47 FPS on the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. Even with the card overclocked to the max the Fury X came up a bit short with these particular settings at a 3840×2160 Ultra HD 4K screen resolution.
Benchmark Results: The frame rate over time chart shows that all of the cards are very similar, but are all performing in different ranges.

Monday, August 03, 2015
Isle of Man Maritime Group member PDMS Maritime's MARIS solution for International Ship Registries, has provided an easy solution for the processing of the Nairobi Wreck Convention for international ship registries, owners and operators.
The Nairobi International Convention on the Removal of Wrecks came into force internationally on 14 April 2015. The convention means that all ships over 300 gross tonnage must carry a Wreck Removal Insurance Certificate or evidence of financial security to cover the costs of wreck removal where there is sound legal basis that a wreck has the potential to adversely affect the safety of lives, goods and property at seas, or the marine and coastal environment.
As a result of this new liability to ship owners, ship registries must now ensure that they have the procedures in place to process international certificates verifying the appropriate insurance cover for their registered ships.
Commenting on the new Convention requirements, Bruce McGregor, Director, PDMS Maritime said, "Through our international ship registry software, MARIS, we are able to provide a solution allowing international ship registries to issue Wreck Removal Insurance Certificates for annual renewal, and/or for ships to apply directly to registries for their certificates through MARIS. One of the benefits of our platform is that we are able to quickly adapt and adhere to changing maritime legislation, incorporating new functionality to help international ship registries meet their international obligations."
Already in use by three of the world's leading International Ship Registries, MARIS has been designed to manage all the key business functions of an International Ship Registry, whilst helping stakeholders meet international IMO, PSC, STCW, ILO and MLC requirements.

Happy New Year to all my lovely readers!
Let's not beat around the bush, I won't be telling you all of my plans for next year or my resolutions as I have never been one to make them. Yeah it is the start of the new year but I don't believe that the difference from 23:59 and 00:00 will automatically make you a better person or make you more inclined to change your life, eating habits or productivity but hey that's just me. Each to their own.
Instead I like to look back at all of the events in 2015 and have started a little journal to write down all of the amazing things that have happened throughout the year that sometimes can get overshadowed by the bad stuff. In my cute little marble note book I have also been jotting down my favourite songs as an ultimate playlist of my life and have been taking them down as I hear or recall them!
2016 is going to be a great year and I can't wait to see what it's next...

New research suggests treatment for sepsis in Australia and New Zealand is the best in the world
The large-scale six-year study, led by the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Research Centre at School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, divided 1600 patients into two groups, who were admitted to emergency care with early stage sepsis from across more than 40 hospitals.
The first group of 796 patients received Early Goal Directed Therapy (EGDT), an aggressive treatment not currently used in Australia and New Zealand, which inserts a catheter into the jugular vein to monitor oxygen levels in the blood returning from the body to the heart.
The second group of 804 patients received the usual course of standard care given in Australia and New Zealand - a combination of rapid specialist-led care, powerful and immediate antibiotics and rapid resuscitation in either Emergency Departments or Intensive Care Units.
Previous studies found mortality rates for sepsis were as high as forty-six per cent, but were lowered to 30 per cent if EGDT was also used. Subsequently the therapy has been recommended globally and is endorsed by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign.
In contrast, the new study found that, in Australia and New Zealand, hospital mortality rates for both groups were close to 15 per cent – the lowest ever reported for this life threatening condition.
The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, sheds doubt on the reported effectiveness of EGDT because researchers found it did not make any noticeable different to survival rates.
One of the lead researchers, Professor Rinaldo Bellomo said one of the reasons for the high survival rates could be down to Australia and New Zealand's healthcare systems.
"Australia and New Zealand have one of the longest and most scrutinised joint training programs in the world for doctors and nurses working in emergency and intensive care. Intensive care units routinely have one highly trained specialist nurse for each patient to maximise level of care and minimise cross infection and healthcare professionals have a reputation for collaboration and team work," he said.
"We don't know if these factors are responsible for the high survival rates, our next step is to carry out further work to determine this," Professor Bellomo said.

One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained.
Definition of tragacanth in US English:
(also gum tragacanth)
A white or reddish plant gum, used in the food, textile, and pharmaceutical industries.
This gum is obtained from plants of the genus Astragalus, family Leguminosae, in particular the Eurasian A. gummifer
- 'So I find the idea of 'bleaching' your skin - using a brew of tragacanth, lavender water, glycerine, boric acid, peroxide and distilled water - pretty scary.'
- 'Some, such as gum arabic and gum tragacanth, are exuded from the gashed bark of trees.'
- 'Similar vegetable gums, with the same possible adverse effects, are carrageenan, gum tragacanth, and carob or locust bean gum.'
Late 16th century: from French tragacante, via Latin from Greek tragakantha 'goat's thorn', from tragos 'goat' (because it is browsed by goats) + akantha 'thorn' (referring to the shrub's spines).

Sorry abut the enormous delay in uploading my valentine project. I got a new job in a new city and the moving consumed all my time. Now that I'm settled in, here is my card from sketch to final:
I finally finished this project. I had to start over many times as my ink prints didnt come out well the first times. This is the best I could do so far :)
I did not take screenshots to show the evolution of my project, so I just can show my first skecth and the final outcome.
I think I got too excited with the ink and I put too much...
Anyway, this is my sketch:
And this is my final postcard. I shuffled things around once I started feeling more confident and playing with it:
Any feedback is welcome :) Thanks!


text: This theory has two components,"expectancy" is a persons confidence about the probability of completing an assignment,or tasks successfully,"value" come down to how much a person wants to perform an undertaking,and the value he or she puts on its completion.I think it is an important aspect of motivation to let students see the "why" of what they are learning.[this is important for myself personally].Once they know the "why",then it will be easier for the person to see the value. As far as a students self efficacy,or anxiety towards a subject,hopefully providing a positive classroom learning community ,clear and realistic goals,and prompt feedback,would all help.For myself,examples from previous students work,and a support system where questions can be answered with out feeling judged are imperative to increasing my engagement and belief in success.

People from Haringey, including many who would lose there homes under the council's plans for a £2 billion give-away of estates for private development, which might include some affordable housing, were joined by housing campaigners from across London for a march against the plans, the so-called Haringey Developmnet Vehicle, or HDV.
It now seems hopeful that with a change in Labour party housing policies and the likely results of this May's council elections the plan will be stopped, though officers and councillors who perhaps stand to benefit from it appear still to be attempting to push it through. Their argument that the private development would somehow be good for the people of the area has been thoroughly discredited, and the tightening of some of the loopholes that the developer would certainly have intended to exploit announced this week by the government might also give Lendlease some second thoughts about the desirability of the project.
It was a rather long march and went slowly, starting by Tottenham Town Hall and walking a slightly long way round to Finsbury Park. I found it a little tiring, carrying a fairly heavy camera bag and of course adding to the length by walking up and down to take pictures rather than simply going straight along the road. Often I was walking backwards, which is also more tiring, though at least I managed not to walk into street furniture or trip down kerbs.
I'd intended to go the whole distance to Finsbury Park, where there was supposed to be another rally, but in the end had to give up a little before the end as I had run out of time. There had been a rather longer rally before the march moved off than expected and it had started late, and I was due at another protest.
I almost got to Finsbury Park, and abandoned the slow march at Manor House, when we had already passed at least a couple of places that I'd photographed in my work on Finsbury Park in 2002, taken with the Hassleblad X-Pan, mainly using the 30mm lens. Another picture taken just a few yards off the road to the left was the winning image in a competition about the area, though I think others that I took are more representative of the area.

After a year of gentle prodding, I finally convinced my husband that keeping some chickens would be a sensible idea... And then I got my neighbors on board... They are actually very excited. Originally I was planning on 3 - 4 just for my husband and I, but then thought, well, should probably get a couple more to ensure the neighbors stay cool... and... just in case one turns up a cockerel. You know... basic chicken math.
So I did my research, I decided what breeds I wanted and how many I'd need of each etc... It was originally going to be 2 Australorps, 2 EEs and 2 SLWs. We went in to some feed stores to start pricing all of the start up accoutrements and then you know... discovered that one of the feed stores was expecting 2 of our 3 preferred breeds... and my husband saw just how inexpensive the maintenance stuff was... I was already designing a coop, so... it isn't like it wasn't a done deal. But naturally when we went to go get our chicks... we came home with a couple extra. The feed store where we got them from had gotten 25 Easter Eggers, 15 were reserved for one guy, another 6 for another lady, which left 4. With the Australorps out of the equation... We planned for 3 EEs, and 3 SLWs... but they insisted we take the 4th so she wasn't in her little brooder all by herself... and to my surprise, that's when my husband begged for a brown leghorn... so 8 it was.
So this was the original 3/4 bird design and how it was supposed to fit in our space. (mocked up in photoshop):
But... we ended up with 8 birds, so I just expanded the design to accommodate 3 feet per square bird. It cam out to something like 6' feet by 6'.
Then some contractors came knocking on my door to let me know that my friendly gas company was intending to dig up a lot of my back yard next year... which according to my design would demolish the coop and about a quarter of the run... DANG! Sure they promised to repair, rebuild, replace everything they tear up... but the less I have to deal with that the better. So... not to be discouraged, we just decided to flip the design and make them rebuild the Run... It is after all the most expendable, and most expensive part of our design... and shoot... with a backhoe, I am sure they can drop a healthy predator proof skirt all around where it needs to go.
We spent Memorial Day framing up the coop.
We salvaged as many 2x4s from our basement remodel as we could and spent around $100 on new wood. Mostly 4X4 posts, new plywood and a few more 2X4s. We even had some leftover shingles and materials the contractors left behind in 2002 when we had our house re-roofed on hand.
The following friday evening though, we were able to start building. This is what we accomplished that friday.
By Saturday, the structure was totally framed up:
We finished the roof the next day under threat of rain. It was an empty threat.
Over the next couple of weeks we finished the outer plywood walls, built the next boxes and the big front access door, slapped some paint on it, and started working on the windows.
The windows holes have quarter inch hardware cloth framed into place, The outer window flaps are quarter inch plexi built into a wooden frame, the side windows are held open by a chain but can be locked down if need be.
At this point, the chicks were about 5 weeks old, so we decided to focus our efforts on building the run.
Digging the trench to bury our fencing was a huge pain... Everywhere we put our shovel, there were rocks or big honkin' tree roots starting at about 6 inches deep... You may be able to see the pile of rocks we threw over the back fence into the easement... and that's after bringing some of them back over to lay on top of the fence once we got it in the trench. Some of the rocks were just too big to move... for example, the right post of the door on the run, is actually anchored directly to one of those rocks. It's possible that it's the bedrock because our property is situated on the south side of a hill... in either case, gigantic rock or bedrock... it's not going anywhere. If it took us a week with tools to dig the trench, I highly doubt a predator will have better luck, especially now that we have caged the top of the impenetrable barrier with the fence.
Those are spring loaded hinges on the door of the run, so that the door will always close behind us when we enter, and there will be a lock on the run, as there will be a locks on the main accesses to the coop.
While we finished up the rest of the coop, we let the chicks spend time in their run. They seemed to like all of the room. It's about 150 square feet of run for 8 chickens... Because we live on a hill, the coop and run are built on a slope, so it's over 6 feet tall in the front, and a little under 5 feet in the back. So it will be easy to get in there with a rake every now and again for cleaning, a.k.a. harvesting compost. The husband wants to build boxes for inside the coop for a salad bar, and I figure that's where I'll empty the unused water from their waterer when I go to fill it back up with fresh water...
Anyway... we are planning to bring in a little more top soil to raise the soil level to just underneath the bottom of the bottom rail in the front there... so, another 4 inches or so. We're also planning to move the raised bed that's currently in front of where the coop is. We'll bother with landscaping next year, after the gas company has it's way with our property, but we are planning for a combination flower/vegetable/herb bed. Even though it is shady, lettuce and herbs grow beautifully there. The husband has already suggested hanging flower boxes off of the top of the frame with Petunias, bleeding heart fuscia, and whatnot...
We sheeted the interior, painted it, installed the automatic Pullet Shut chicken door and moved them in. I could hardly sleep with them out there, worried about predators and all, but they made it through their first night just fine. And the Pullet Shut Automatic Chicken door worked like a charm.
Really all that's left to do now is to get something a little more official to hold those windows out, build the roost, sew the poop hammock up.
Oh, and the colors, in case anyone is interested in that detail:
Exterior: Valspar: Curry Green
Trim: Valspar: Aviary (green tinted off-white)
Interior: Behr: Navaho White (very warm white)
Some final shots:
As it turns out... One of our Wyandottes is a Cockerel... so in a few short weeks, we'll have 7 birds sharing this space.
Coop: 6'x6' footprint, 25 sq. ft. interior space
Run: 22' long, 8' wide tapering to 6' wide. For 150 sq. ft.
Approximate Cost: $975
Coop - about $275 mostly in Plexi, plywood, and hardware, thanks to being able to salvage a lot of 2X4s from our basement.
Run - About $400 most of this cost was the welded wire. But we have enough left over for the chicken tractors.
Chicken Door with solar panel - about $300 (after shipping)
Plans for the future include building a small tractor in which to pasture them in the yard... if we ever get out of this drought long enough to grow grass again.

A family run farm…
Rookery Farm
Rookery Farm is a working arable farm of some 850 acres. Crops include malting barley for beer and whisky, wheat for bread making, potatoes for chips and sugar beet. Daffodils are grown for export to Holland – visit in early spring to witness fields full of cheery colour!
It's an arable farm so visiting children may be disappointed at the lack of furry friends, but parents will possibly appreciate the absence of farmyards smells.
The farm has been in the same family for three generations – in days gone by there was no electricity and ploughs were horse-drawn.
During the 1914-18 war, military horses were stabled on Meadow Field – army uniform buttons were unearthed for years to come by farm workers.
The farm is relatively high up by Norfolk standards and during the second world war, 400ft high masts were erected as part of the first radar early warning defence system. The masts were decommissioned in 1948 and taken down in the 1950s.
The height of the land means there are tributaries to two rivers in one field – Scarrow Beck that leads to the river Bure in the east and the Glaven in the west.
The farm can be enjoyed by all; fields are surrounded by wide grass margins to allow 'permissive access' and encourage wildlife. Many lead to footpaths, so from the barns, the two and a half mile walk to Sheringham can be taken via fields, footpaths and the beautiful Sheringham Park.
West Beckham and Bodham
Rookery Farm lies between the villages of West Beckham and Bodham, both just a few minutes' walk.
In West Beckham…
West Beckham is a tiny village, lost in time and steeped in history. The little flint church is the village centrepiece, built in Victorian times from the components of two other much older churches, one in East Beckham, one in West Beckham. Nearby is the Wheatsheaf pub, serving fine ales and food. An occasional bus service links the village to Sheringham and Holt.
In Bodham…
Pretty flint cottages abound – all in all, it's a slow and tranquil pace of life. In the centre of the village, the Red Hart pub serves food and a choice of local ales. And a little further afield…
The delightful seaside town of Sheringham is a five-minute drive away. Small but bustling, with a market each Saturday and Wednesday, it's shingle beaches give way to miles of perfect flat sand once the tide retreats.
Its famous steam train takes you on a gentle five mile ride to Holt, through wooded hills and the north Norfolk beauty spots of Kelling Heath and Sheringham Park. It calls at picturesque Weybourne station where time has stood still – it frequently attracts film crews and artists.
Sheringham is well known for its Little Theatre – check out what's playing before you leave home! www.sheringhamlittletheatre.com
The charming Georgian town of Holt is a five minute drive away and here in the picturesque streets you will find a myriad of shops, boutiques, art galleries, antique shops, restaurants, delis and the remarkable Larners and Bakers food hall. The Auden Theatre at Gresham's School hosts some remarkable productions.
Nearby Cromer has an air of charm and was once a favoured summer destination for the Victorian and Edwardian gentry. It's well known for its crab fishing community – you won't find a fresher, tastier crab sandwich anywhere! Its unspoilt Blue Flag beach stretches for miles and a visit to The Pavilion Theatre on Cromer Pier is a must. There is also a cinema with several screens.
Blakeney and Morston
Try a spot of crabbing off Blakeney Quay and then retire to the Blakeney Hotel for afternoon tea.
You can walk for miles out across the marshes at Morston or just take a picnic and watch the sailing dinghys. Boat trips out to Blakeney Point to see the seals sunbathing are always a favourite.
At Christmas the Thursford Spectacular will get you into the festive spirit. It's home to the largest Christmas Spectacular show in England, showing twice daily.
Public Footpaths
Footpaths criss cross the farm fields and our guests are very welcome to walk these. In addition we have maintained wide grass margins around several fields to provide circular walks for you – large sections of which are restricted to use by guests staying at Rookery Farm.

Blood Brother received the Grand Jury Special Award and Audience Award for Great British Documentary at Sundance this year, and his admiration for movie continued to grow at Hot Docs.
I did not catch the film until the third screening day, but the theater was still moving with excitement. The story of the two best friends is an inspiring story. Director Steve Hoover went to India to visit his friend Rocky Braat. Rocky was working an orphanage for AIDS children in India. Rocky is a difficult job because he balances a stretch walk between life and death every day.

This summer intensive program flew by in a blink of an eye, yet these ten exciting days have given me opportunities, insights and fun I couldn't find anywhere else.
Coming from a local school, I found working with a team of students with mixed backgrounds- local schools, international schools, overseas schools- a valuable experience. Our varied cultures and personalities resulted in interesting dynamics in the group, making our discussions both fun and efficient. Apart from that, everyone in the team was very supportive in the sense that they would always give me encouragement as well as be frank enough to tell me how I can do better.
Another thing that thrilled me was the earnestness of the facilitators. I could see that they were observing very carefully and scribbling in their notebooks when we were having discussions. Yet, I had never imagined that they would treat this so seriously. From the comments and words they had for us, I had a feeling that they could almost look straight into our hearts. They didn't just give us random, general reflections, but gave us advice based on who we are deep inside.
What impressed me most was that in all the coaching sessions and informal sharing, we were allowed to really be ourselves, which made me feel at ease. This leadership program does not intend to push us on a formulated 'road to success', but helped us dig into our hearts and find out how we can achieve our aspirations. I myself is a Christian, and it was amazing that I could talk about Jesus in this sort of program instead of putting my religion aside. I like the non-judgmental environment here that enabled me to share my dreams fearlessly without hiding part of myself.
One last point to add- the NGO project was truly an invaluable experience. The NGOs were very open to our suggestions and gave us a lot of opportunities to contribute in the future. It was wonderful that through the extension of working with the NGOs, we could at the same time keep connected with our groupmates. Although the program was just a ten-day course, the story did not end right there- we are actually brought on to start of a new journey!
Young Leaders of Tomorrow summer program has given me great chances to pursue leadership role. There are speakers working in different fields come up and share their own experiences, which is really inspirational to high school students like us. Other than that, there are simulations about India microfinance. Through the simulations, we can really experience real life pressure and learn how to make decisions under imperfect information condition.
Another worth-mentioning exercise will definitely be the NGO project. Grameen Bank is our target NGO. During the preparations, we have learnt how to cooperate with people who have different strengths and weaknesses as well as how to think outside the box. This program has helped a lot in my personal development. I've learnt different essential elements about leadership, such as taking initiatives and responsibilities to finish work etc. I will definitely recommend all kinds of high school students to join this meaningful program, especially for those who do not speak up much in school. Young Leaders of Tomorrow summer program, this is what you desire.
I enjoyed this program because it provided a learning environment that is quite different from anything I have experienced before. There were so many different, creative activities that we did (like the Leadership Cases and Simulation Modules) that you wouldn't see in the typical high-school classroom setting. It was such a nice break from the strict, routine environment of school, and I think it enriched the learning experience exponentially. I also appreciated the fact that we weren't assigned homework; if we wanted to get work done outside of the program, we had to sort it out ourselves. I found that this made our group more independent (the members as individuals, and the group as a whole).
I liked the fact that there were Senior Facilitators and Junior Facilitators. It helped to have advice coming from both groups. Sometimes their opinions differed, which helped us see two different points of view. Also, from the first day, it was clear that all of the Facilitators (the Junior Facilitators, especially) were making an effort to get to know all of the students; this was nice to see, and it was definitely helpful.
I just recently attended The Young Leaders of Tomorrow summer leadership course and found it extremely interesting as well as helpful for me not only because it taught good methods for interacting and dealing with other people but also because it helped me better understand and develop my priorities and preferences concerning making decisions about my future life, especially with applying to colleges.
The program is very effective because it ensures that its participants learn about the world as well as about themselves while keeping everybody involved with its friendly and cheerful atmosphere. Its incorporation of a very real NGO project adds an element of real-world application of concepts as well as provides an opportunity to gain experience outside of the classroom. College information sessions covering everything from managing academics and extracurricular activities while attending university to college applications and interviews to even choosing what to study at university make this course especially helpful for high school students moving into years 12 or 13.
Young Leaders of Tomorrow — this is a program I would recommend to my local school friends for the usefulness as well as insightful content covered. After two weeks of intense training with teenagers from different schools and backgrounds, I have gained a lot on problem-solving, making wise decisions together with the qualities of a true leader. Unlike other leadership programs, in this program I have found simulations that are close to our real life, the opportunity to cooperate with an NGO, to pour my efforts over something that is worthwhile, and not to mention, a group of dedicated and caring facilitators. This is the place where I can get honest and practical feedback from experienced people as an attempt to get to know myself better. I treasure every moment I have spent in this program as well as every moment will be since these facilitators are willing to keep in touch and help me in the coming future. Therefore, I would like to say thank you to everyone who makes this program possible. I hope that this program can continue to inspire and nurture young leaders by providing them a chance to lead and shine. I am grateful for being able to participate in a program that can last for a lifetime.
The Open Classroom's summer leadership course is a unique experience. there are few places I have seen that allow the same kind of support and teaching. While many courses in Hong Kong are centered around SAT scores or getting higher marks on tests, this program prepares you for the challenges of life beyond school, things like making a proposal for your job, or dealing with a troublesome boss. But this course is not training for leadership in later life as there is an involved service component as well. Students taking this course can have the chance to make a real difference in the world, working with real NGOs and real NGOs problems. IN A NUT SHELL: Unique course that prepares people for a life of leadership and service.
Through joining the Young Leaders of Tomorrow program, I have met many new friends and gained valuable experience that I can never gain in school activities.
Firstly, the program gave us a chance to take part in an NGO project. As an ordinary teenager, I cannot easily get in touch with NGOs, not to mention giving suggestions on their project or even working with them. However, the program gave us a chance to get in touch with Dialogue in Silence (a social enterprise that helps the deaf people) and help them to work out a workshop for teenagers. It is a memorable experience.
Secondly, the program provided me with a lot of information about universities and future careers by inviting present undergraduates and people from different careers to share their experience with us. I believe this information will be very useful in the future when I am entering university or finding a job.
For leadership skills, I learn how to speak more confidently and express my views without prompting. My English speaking skills has also improved in these two weeks. Through the leadership training I have gone through, I gained confidence to express my own opinion and I knew that I am able to have a valuable position in my group.
As a teacher, I definitely see the need to promote critical thinking skills in our youths today. And life skills include so much more than what is included in the basic school subjects! From my daughter's reactions to the modules she took, I can see her interest brimming over after each class.

Tips and Hints
Keeping your printer working efficiently
Do a test page every two weeks for all colours to keep the jets free. Just a page with 2 lines of large characters mixed red, yellow, blue (also black if you do not print frequently). Save the page to your computer desktop so you can simply double check and print.
Never leave a printer without all cartridges in place (even if empty). If the jets dry out a new print head could be needed.
Don't open the ink cartridge door until ready to replace a cartridge as most printers clean all cartridges each time the door is closed.
CAUTION! Buying a New Computer
New computers now come with Microsoft Office 2013 starter version pre-installed. This has a 60 day expiry limit. After that time, a full version must be purchased and installed. A better option is to pay for a full version and have it pre-installed at the time of purchase.
Alternatively, you can install "Open Office" an office suite similar in appearance to Microsoft Office 2003, but with updated features.
There are quite a number of other considerations when buying a new computer.
If you are unsure, advice is available from our Club.
There are many instances where a copy of the screen image is desirable. It is quick and simple to do this. To copy the whole screen at any time simply press the Print Screen key (could appear as Prt Scr). Nothing seems to happen, but a copy now exists in the memory clipboard.
Now you can "Paste" this to any suitable file. This could be Word, Excel, PowerPoint, WordPad or other document.
However, it is much better to "Paste" it into an imaging application such as "Paint", "Irfanview", "Gimp", "Corel" or similar. It can then be saved as a JPG (or other image type), and be altered, enhanced, etc. which is far more useful.
If you only wish to copy the active window rather than the whole screen, hold Alt key while pressing the Print Screen Key.
If you have Windows 7 or 8 operating system you can also use the Snipping tool.
To capture a snip in Windows 7:
Open Snipping Tool by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button. In the search box, type Snipping Tool, and then, in the list of results, click Snipping Tool.
Click the arrow next to the New button, select Free-form Snip, Rectangular Snip, Window Snip, or Full-screen Snip from the list, and then select the area of your screen that you want to capture.
In Windows 8
Open Snipping Tool by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button. In the search box, type Snipping Tool, and then, in the list of results, click Snipping Tool.
Click the arrow next to the New button, select Free-form Snip, Rectangular Snip, Window Snip, or Full-screen Snip from the list, and then select the area of your screen that you want to capture.
Open Snipping Tool by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if you're using a mouse, pointing to the lower-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer up, and then clicking Search), entering Snipping Tool in the search box, and then tapping or clicking Snipping Tool.
There are many handy shortcut keys. Here are just a few of the most useful.
You have typed the words for a heading in any word processor. Highlight the words, hold down the Ctrl key and press U B E on the keyboard. Now your heading is Underlined, Bold and Centred.
Other shortcuts are...
Save your work - Ctrl S
Copy and Paste - Ctrl C,. then Ctrl V
More options to use with the Ctrl key...
L - Left Justify
R - Right Justify
I - Italics
P - Print
Opening Microsoft Office 2007/2010 files,
if you Have Earlier Versions of Microsoft Office.
A problem, that will increase as more and more computer users update to Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010, is that those to whom they email documents will not be able to download them. The 2007/2010 programs are not compatible with earlier versions of Microsoft Office. If someone sends an attachment in Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2007/2010 the recipient is unlikely to be able to read it. If you do not intend to update to Office 2007/2010, download the Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack by clicking this link:
Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint 2007 File Formats.
By installing the Compatibility Pack in addition to earlier versions of Microsoft Office, you will be able to open, edit, and save files using the file formats new to Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2007. It is a large download of 27.5 MB. It will take several hours to download if you are still connected to dialup Internet. With broadband, however, you can begin using this convenient compatibility pack in a few minutes.
It's great!
In Office 2007/2010 programs, you can save documents as earlier versions of Office, so they can be sent as attachments to those with earlier versions. It would be handy, nevertheless, to keep a note of this link in case a recipient of your attachment could not open it.
You can email back this link to your unhappy emailer.
Are you still paying for Antivirus?
Why not use Microsoft Security Essentials? It is free, you don't have to register, it is designed to integrate with Windows Firewall and works with XP, Vista and Win 7. It comes pre-installed with Windows 8. The only slight niggle is its habit of warning you about once per week that you are "unprotected", which is a gross exaggeration, it simply means it wants you to run a short "system scan" to make it happy again. Of course you can stop this by setting a regular scan, but I find that inconvenient. Other antivirus programs also want you to do regular scans, so MSE is not on its own there.
Here is a review from TechRadar.com from the UK.
"If you want good, free antivirus software, then Microsoft Security Essentials is the tool for you. It's small, doesn't sap system performance and gets regular automatic updates to keep you secure. There's no obvious downside to using MSE – and because it's the basis of a revamped Windows Defender that will ship as part of Windows 8, it could well be a good idea to get used to it now. With Microsoft regularly updating MSE there's really no excuse to not run anti-malwaretools, when they're as good as this – and especially when they're free."
If your desktop screen task bar has mysteriously moved from the bottom of the screen to either one side or top, it is easily corrected. Simply left click on a blank area in the middle of the task bar and drag it to the bottom of the screen. Release the mouse click and it will suddenly jump to the correct position at the bottom edge of your screen.
You can lock the taskbar to prevent it being moved accidentally by right clicking over the taskbar and click on "Lock the Taskbar".
In a nutshell, Cloud computing is working on the Internet rather than on your computer. Let us compare emailing from your computer and on the Cloud. On your computer, you may use Outlook Express as the email program and all your data such as address books, emails sent and received, drafts etc. is saved on your computer hard drive. Compare this with Gmail, one of the popular Cloud email programs. Gmail is not stored on your computer. When you want to use it, you open your Internet browser, go to Google Gmail and enter your user name and password. Gmail then temporarily downloads your address book, emails sent and received etc. to your computer, from somewhere in space. Nothing is kept on your computer. Other examples are Google Docs and Google Calendar. You can do word processing, spreadsheets, presentations etc. and also keep a personal calendar. The advantages of Cloud computing - With your user name and password, you have full access to all your files and user programs anywhere there is a computer with an Internet connection such as Internet cafes and also including your Smartphone. You don't buy the programs, you simply use them from the Internet. However there are professional facilities you can purchase on a subscription basis. Other examples of Cloud computing are Blogs, social sites such as Facebook, Twitter etc. Google maps and many more.
What is the Clipboard on your Computer?
The clipboard is a reserved section of memory that is used as a temporary holding area for data that is copied or moved from one application to another using the copy and paste and cut and paste (move) menu options. Each time you transfer something onto the clipboard, the previous contents are deleted. Although there are clipboard viewers that let you view the clipboard's current contents, they are seldom used. The clipboard serves as a behind-the scenes function, holding its contents for pasting (inserting) into another application.
Acknowledge: computer.yourdictionary.com
Have you suddenly lost all your text while you are typing?
If you accidentally press Ctrl + A and then type any character, all your text will disappear. This is easily done by mistake when you mean to press Shift + A to type a capital "A".
The reason? Ctrl + A selects all your text, the next character typed replaces all that text with the one character you just typed.
The fix? Quickly press Ctrl Z (Undo)
Font too small when reading a Web Page?
If you are viewing a web page that has a font size too small to read, just hold down the Ctrl key and tap the += key. Each time you press the key the text will get larger. To reduce the size, hold down the Ctrl key and tap the _- key (next to the += key). Each time you tap the key will reduce the text size.
Phishing on your phone - Warning!!
There are still reports of members of the public receiving telephone calls claiming to be from Microsoft or other Service Companies. They allege that the member's computer has a problem and they can fix it for them (for a price). Sometimes they address you by name.
Regardless, just hang up.
Do not get into a discussion with them or disclose any personal information such as passwords, credit card numbers or anything else. This has been a most persistent scam so please be on your guard.

I received this book for free through LibraryThing's Early Reviewers.
I started reading this book way back in January and put it on hold for the longest time because I was in such a reading slump.
This was a nice and cute romance book. I did like that it touched upon PTSD which is a heavy subject and showed the effects that it can have. Overall, it didn't blow my mind, but it was still a good romance novel.
