Puerto Rico's coastline is protected in many places by coral reefs and cays which are fun to visit and explore. La Cordillera is a nature reserve of cays and rocks off the northeast tip of Puerto Rico, including Icacos, Diablo, Ratones and Las Cucarachas, which have a rich coral reef, clear water and sandy beaches. There is an abandoned limestone quarry on the south side of Icacos.
The cays are easily accessible by boat from Las Croabas or Fajardo. You can also snorkel or scuba around the cays by seaplane from San Juan, Zoltan knows all the best spots, Seaplanes in Paradise, US$150 per person for four people, T7250243, www.spiderlink.net/seaplanes. There are many sailboat excursions from Fajardo with snorkelling, lunch and drinks, usually US$55 per person on catamarans (also known as cattlemarans taking 49 people), more on the monohulls. Also sailboats from Marina del Rey, San Juan and Parguera.
A ferry, Old San Juan (Pier Two) – Hato Rey, Cataño, crosses every 30 minutes, 0600-2200, weather permitting, T7881155, US$0.50, to Cataño. In October 1999 an enormous statue of Columbus made by a Georgian, Zurab Tsereteli, is to be assembled in sections here as a major tourist attraction. From Cataño waterfront. you can catch a público (US$1 per person), or bus C37 to about five blocks from the Bacardí rum distillery. Route 888, Km 2.6, T7881500,There are free conducted tours around the plant Mon-Sat, every 30 mins 0830-1630, travelling from one building to the next by a little open motor train.

A short drive away on Route 503, Km 2.1, in the outskirts of the city, is the Tibes Indian Ceremonial Center. This is an Igneri (300 AD) and pre-Taino (700 AD) burial ground, with seven ball courts (bateyes) and two plazas, one in the form of a star, a replica of a Taino village and a good museum. All the ball courts & plazas are said to line up with solstices or equinoxes. The site was discovered in 1975 after heavy rain uncovered some of the stone margins of the ball courts.
Under the Zemi Batey, the longest in the Caribbean (approximately 100 by 20 m), evidence of human sacrifice has been found. Underneath a stone in the Main Plaza, which is almost square (55 by 50 m), the bodies of children were found, buried ceremonially in earthenware pots. In all, 130 skeletons have been uncovered near the Main Plaza, out of a total on site of 187. The park is filled with trees (all named), the most predominant being the higuera, whose fruit is used, among other things, for making maracas (it's forbidden to pick them up though). Tue-Sun (and Mon holidays, when closed Tue), 0900-1600. T8402255, US$2; bilingual guides give an informative description of the site and a documentary is shown.
Hacienda Buena Vista, at Km 16.8 on Route 123, north of the city, is another recommended excursion. Built in 1833, converted into a coffee plantation and corn mill in 1845 and in operation till 1937, this estate has been restored by Fideicomiso de Conservación de Puerto Rico. All the machinery works (the metal parts are original), operated by water channelled from the 360 m Vives waterfall; the hydraulic turbine which turns the corn mill is unique.

Many have the luxury to be playing in the NBA in spite having less talent and lesser heart. But for those who are vertically challenge but wears a big heart and a talent full of potential but untapped they will have to work harder to get notice. Earl Boykins knows there aren't many of them that got the chance to play in the NBA. He is just 2 inches taller against Mugsy Bogues, the shortest player in NBA history who stands only at 5 foot 3 inches.
Earl was an All-Mid-American conference first team honor in his junior and senior year. He held the career record assists in East Michigan University (624) and was second in scoring in the NCAA men's division I basketball championship but he was never drafted in the NBA. He thought he had done enough to get NBA teams nod but it seems time and time again he had to prove to them that he is worth the risk and he can be a valuable asset rather than a liability on the team. In 2004 Boykins scored 32 points against the eventual champion on that year the Detroit Pistons making him the shortest player to ever score 30 or more points in a single game.
The Washington Wizards signed Earl Boykins in November last year after Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton were facing suspensions for the remainder of the season on a gun incident.
On a game against the Milwaukee Bucks Flip Saunders placed Boykins as a decoy with Arenas, Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison and Brendan Haywood on the floor. Saunders instinctively knew that if given the chance Boykins will surely deliver. 10.5 seconds left and Earl knows this is the time to shine with Brandon Jennings guarding him tightly and he knows nobody expects him to take a shot or go straight to the basket. It was always been like that for the entirety of his career. He was too little and too risky but Boykins only wants that chance to prove himself and this is one instance he gets everybody's attention. And redemption came on a pick and roll play when Haywood rolled and the ball stayed on Boykins hands as he pump faked and drew a foul against Jennings with only a second left in regulation. He sank two pressure pack free throws with ease and the Wizards won that game 104-102.
The Milwaukee Bucks recently signed Earl Boykins to a one year contract after losing Luke Ridnour to free agency. The 11 year veteran who played with 11 different teams in the NBA and overseas finally got the respect he wanted. Sometimes it's not about the size that we look into it's also all about how big the heart is. At 133 pounds who can bench press twice his size at 315 pounds somehow I'm not all surprise. Earl Boykins carry more than his diminutive size because he carries a bigger heart.

Cannabis supporters have been on edge since president Donald Trump appointed longtime cannabis opponent Jeff Sessions to the position of United States Attorney General. Session was once famously quoted as saying that he thought the KKK was OK until he found out that they consume cannabis. He also stated that good people don't consume cannabis. Jeff Sessions even once supported legislation that would have called for the death penalty for people caught selling marijuana. With all of that reefer madness baggage, it's not surprising that cannabis supporters have felt quite a bit of anxiety ever since Sessions took over the top law enforcement position in America.
A lot of people have been wondering if Jeff Sessions and the Trump administration would reverse a lot of the cannabis policy progress that the Obama administration put in place, specifically the Cole memo. Jeff Sessions was in front of members of Congress today answering various questions, some of which touched on cannabis policy. In surprising fashion, Jeff Sessions provided good news for cannabis policy at the federal level, as covered by Tom Angell for Forbes:
Obama-era guidance that allows states to legalize marijuana without federal interference remains in effect, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said on Tuesday during a congressional hearing. He also conceded that cannabis is not as dangerous as heroin and that a current budget rider prevents the Department of Justice from prosecuting people who are in compliance with state medical marijuana laws.
"Our policy is the same, really, fundamentally as the Holder-Lynch policy, which is that the federal law remains in effect and a state can legalize marijuana for its law enforcement purposes but it still remains illegal with regard to federal purposes," Sessions said, referring to his predecessors as attorney general during the Obama administration.
Today's news should hopefully provide some peace of mind for the cannabis community. U.S. Representative Steve Cohen had a lot to say to Attorney General Sessions during today's hearing, video of which can be found below:

Las Vegas, Nevada —— Over the weekend in Las Vegas, Baseball Census observed New York Mets veteran left-handed minor league starting pitcher Adam Wilk pitch for the Triple-A Pacific Coast League's Las Vegas 51s against the visiting Albuquerque Isotopes.
In that start, Wilk allowed six earned runs to the Isotopes over five innings pitched, on eight hits and two walks with six strikeouts while talking the loss—his second of the season. Now, entering play on Tuesday, Wilk is 2-2 with a 5.60 ERA in five starts with just four walks allowed against 22 strikeouts in 27.1 innings pitched.
Adam Wilk scouting report notes
Adam Wilk is exactly what you'd expect of a lefty nearing 30 pitching out his career in Triple-A; his command and control are both advanced at the point in his baseball life, and he has good feel for all his pitches in the strike zone and with two strikes. He knows how to set up hitters and he's composed, efficient, and well-paced on the mound, always in control of his tempo and in control of the rhythm of the game itself.
He's also in Triple-A, and not the big leagues, for a reason: his velocity and stuff aren't overwhelming, and he's imminently hittable. In the Pacific Coast League, that's not a great trait to have. To that end, he'll get tagged a bit this year in Las Vegas, but won't likely compound those big innings with self-created mistakes (walks).
In his latest start over the weekend, Wilk sat 88-89 mph with his fastball, topping out once at 90 mph. The pitch has decent arm-side run to it at times, and left-handed hitters can struggle some with it when it's on the inner half of the plate and moving inside, but for the most part it's a hittable pitch that, if not down in the zone and well-located, can get tagged hard in most counts.
Wilk's go-to off-speed pitch was a changeup that sat 80-82 mph, and it had a bit more life to it: some arm-side run and decent tumbling action, making it a potential ground ball machine and allowing the veteran lefty to keep right-handed batters honest in hitters' counts. Wilk also flashed a curveball that was 79-81 mph, and functioned more as a get-over pitch than a late-biting strikeout offering that could consistently miss bats. He commands both off-speed pitches well enough in the strike zone, though, and has enough change-of-pace offerings, that he can survive even without a true swing-and-miss pitch.
Obviously, Wilk's big league days may well be behind him, and it'd take quite a bit of an injury bug to hit the Mets for them to purchase his contract this year ahead of younger (and 40-man roster) options like Rafael Montero. That said, Wilk is consistent and experienced in this role, and ought to eke out a nice living for himself for a few more years as a Triple-A starter that just couldn't quite stick in the big leagues.

More hate graffiti found in Brooklyn
Police are investigating three new incidents of anti-Semitic hate crimesin Brooklyn over the weekend.
Police are investigating three new incidents of anti-Semitic hate crimes in Brooklyn over the weekend.
On Saturday, residents in the heavily Jewish neighborhood of Midwood discovered the message "Die Jews" written alongside three black swastikas on a garage door. The hate graffiti was scrawled less than 100 feet from the home of N.Y. Assemblyman Dov Hikind.
Across the street, two swastikas were also found spray painted on the door of an apartment building.
And on Sunday morning, two more swastikas were found on a Jewish school on Ocean Parkway, according to reports.
These are only the latest hate-crime incidents in New York: A group is suspected of tagging four stores along Sixth Avenue with swastikas last week.
A swastika was also discovered at the Kent Village Housing site last week in a predominantly Jewish section of Williamsburg, according to Councilman Steve Levin. Some residents of the housing complex are Holocaust survivors, and they were appalled to see the swastikas, according to Rabbi David Niederman, director of the United Jewish Organizations of Williamsburg.
In an unrelated incident, police announced yesterday they arrested David Haddad, 56, and charged him with making various anti-Semitic threats to his mother and other elderly women in Manhattan following a family business dispute. Haddad, who is Jewish, was charged with a hate crime.

Estrada of Providence, Rhode Island was a member of 2004 United States Olympic team and turned professional later that year. He has solid wins over James Northey (11-1), Lance Whitaker (32-4), Moultrie Witherspoon (14-1) & Derek Bryant (20-4-1).
Steve Vukosa--"Training is going great. I have been getting extra work shoveling all the snow here in Massachusetts. I haven't really checked much on Donovan Dennis. I am excited to get in the ring and am excited for this opportunity."
Ed Fountain–"Training camp is pretty good. I am the underdog, and I am going to have some fun. I hope he brings his best so I can prove myself. I know he is a veteran. I look forward to knocking him out and putting myself at the top of the tournament."
Jason Estrada–"I am a late entry, but I have been in camp. I am in pretty good shape. This is such a good opportunity that I could not pass it up, and I am throwing my hat in the ring. I do not know much about my opponent. My dad did the research. I am just going in to fight my fight. From my amateur background, I have seen many styles. It is not hard because I have seen so many styles. I can adapt and may the best man win."
Andrey Fedosov–"I am ready to my best in this tournament! I had a great camp."
Tickets for the February 20th ESPN Friday Night Fights at Turning Stone are on sale now at the Turning Stone box office, in person or by calling 315.361.7469, or online at Ticketmaster. Tickets are $60 for ringside seats, $35, $25, and are subject to additional fees.

Deacon Joseph Hawes, of Yarmouth Port, a village three miles distant, who is now near 90 years of age, together with his wife, attended Church at the Unitarian Meeting house in this place (Barnstable), on Sunday last, and partook of the communion, having walked a considerable of the distance, to and from home.
Mr. G. W. Stevens, the well-known Nantucket "Soap Man," is again on the Cape with a good quality of Soap, and will call upon his friends in this vicinity during the coming week. We hope he will leave a supply (at the newspaper) for us to test.
It is understood that Messrs. Cash and Foley are to run the Hyannis Laundry the coming season. This was found to be a paying enterprise last summer, Capt. Baker having done well considering it was the first season, and therefore something of an experiment. We hope the gentlemen who are to control the interest this year will receive such a share of the public patronage as shall insure them good success.
West Barnstable: We are informed there is quite an abundance of that specimen of fish, the white perch, in our mill pond at present. Perhaps the young lady and gentleman seen coming from there with such a nice string can give us their secret for catching such a fine lot.
Hyannis: Will S. Hardy's Singing Orchestra of Worcester and the Tivoli, Oak Bluffs, will furnish the music for the dance in Masonic hall next Friday evening, June 15. Mr. Hardy is the well known composer of popular songs and his orchestra is a great favorite at the social functions and dances of the ultra fashionables of New England. Special features during the evening by "Happy" Stanley, "Banjoest Extraordinary," and "Scout" Trainer, "the Drummer Incomparable." Dancing 8 to 12 o'clock. Admission 50 cents each.
A crew of 15 railroad employees arrived in Hyannis Wednesday morning to start the work of renovating the railroad station. The interior and outside are to be painted. New lavatories, plumbing, fixtures and other alterations are to be constructed and installed. A new long platform of crushed stone is to be constructed to accommodate passengers arriving on the New York train. If Hyannis is not to have a new railroad station this year, at least the old one will be made more attractive in appearance, than it has in the past.
All employees of the Cape & Vineyard Electric Company began a 40-hour work week schedule on June 1. Previously, the office force was on the 40-hour week but the linemen, meter readers and all the other classes of employees worked a 44-hour week, according to General Manager Ralph M. Miller. The company's policy now applies to all employees. Hours will be so arranged that the company's offices will be open Saturdays, as usual. The change is in line with shortening of work hours generally throughout the country.
Announcement of the annual Harvest Fair of the Cape Cod Grange has been made by John D. W. Bodfish, Worthy Master of the Hyannis Grange, No. 358, for Saturday, August 23 at the Barnstable High School grounds. Exhibits will be shown of fruits, vegetables, flowers, canned goods, home arts and crafts, and animals. Directions for entries and names of committees will be released at a later date. An all-Cape Cod affair, in which every town from Wareham to Provincetown will be represented, the 1947 Harvest Fair promises to exceed that of last year in variety and interest. (Note: Occasionally, Wareham is mistakenly included as Cape Cod's "sixteenth town.")
Barnstable High Class of 1942 will hold its 15th reunion beginning at 7:30 p.m. Saturday night at the Silver Sea Horse in West Yarmouth. Committee in charge of arrangements includes Joseph Lebel of Osterville, class president; Mrs. Ann Madden, Mrs. Marjorie McGinn, Miss Eleanor Klimm, Walcott Ames, Jr., Richard Childs, Eldon Logan, Wilford Powell and Donald McArthur.
Forty-two women and 48 men will be awarded the Associate Arts degree Sunday afternoon at the fifth annual commencement exercises of Cape Cod Community College, two with high honors and 13 with honors. Delivering the commencement address at the ceremonies which will start at 4:30 p.m. under the big tent in front of the administration building will be Dr. George Paul Schmidt of Harwich, a part time history professor at the college from 1961 through 1963. Dr. Schmidt, who received his Ph.D. from Columbia, was for 27 years chairman of the history department at Douglass College, Rutgers University. Among those graduating Sunday are 16 students from the Town of Barnstable. (Note: During the 1960s, CCCC was located in downtown Hyannis, at the location of the present town offices buildings.)
Cape Cod Council of Friends of the Boston Symphony Orchestra is planning round-trip bus trips for the Friday symphony concerts for the 1977-1978 season. Buses will leave Howard Johnson Restaurant, Route 6 & 132, at 9:30 a.m., and Sagamore bus terminal, Route 3, at 10 a.m., depositing subscribers at Symphony Hall. (Note: At that time, the music director and conductor of the BSO was Seiji Ozawa, who served in that capacity for nearly 30 years.)
The Sandy Neck Governing Board voted unanimously this week to allow horseback riding on the beach Wednesday evenings during June. The pilot program will restrict horse travel to the outer beach and permit riding from 5:30 to 9:00 p.m.
Eelgrass Preservation: A workshop will be held on Friday, June 6 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Falmouth on the natural resource of eelgrass beds and environmental protection issues. The workshop is free, lunch will be provided for $5 or attendees may bring a bag lunch.
Throughout June, staff members from the Town of Barnstable's natural resources office will demonstrate the harvesting of razor clams by salting. This free class is open to shellfishers with a current 2007 Barnstable shellfish license. Outing dates include June 16 at 6:30 a.m. and June 20 at 9:30 a.m. at Scudder Lane. Some equipment will be available, but attendees are welcome to use their own sprayers. The recipe for salt is available at the office.

One mani/pedi you don't want? Uh, one that comes with nail fungus. Or, like, a super-nasty infection. Or, who knows, maybe even hacking and coughing because your lungs are suddenly lambasted with toxic fumes coming from a poorly ventilated nail salon.
No one's trying to ruin your day at the spa, but you do have to be careful when you go to have your nails done -- if for no other reason than you're probably doing so way more than you realize. One survey found that 40 percent of women visit nail salons at least twice a month, and some as often as five times.
So, you know, it makes sense to know your salon is there to truly pamper you, not make you horribly ill.
And we can help with that!
Karen Hodges, co-owner of Nailcare Academy, which provides online education for nail care professionals, explained to The Stir just how we can all ensure we're in, um, good hands.
Get a good first impression. Trying out a new salon? Call first. "If it's a first appointment, the receptionist [of a safe salon] will say, 'Please come in ... early to fill out a questionnaire," says Hodges. They're not trying to shove busywork off on you. This is a sign of conscientiousness, since gathering info about your health might affect what they do.
Ask questions. Be curious: How are their instruments cleaned and cared for between clients? How are the foot basins disinfected? (Because if they're not? Uh, no.)
Don't be embarrassed to ask lots of Qs, and they shouldn't make you feel guilty for doing so either. "A salon that's concerned for your health and safety, and that of their workers, will be happy to answer your questions," Hodges says.
More from The Stir: 9 Nail Care Mistakes That Are Keeping You From Peak Mani
Look for a clean, uncluttered space. Okay, you're in! But while that stack of celeb mags might be calling your name, don't relax just yet. Is every area of the salon tidy? Are all surfaces clean and disinfected? "Clutter and dust attract fungus and harbor infectious disease microbes," explains Hodges. Go ahead. Be critical.
Check that technicians are following safety guidelines. That means disposable materials like files and toe separators are used; technicians' hands are sanitized and gloves are changed between clients; and every person there has a license displayed. And don't forget: "Metal implements should be removed from a SEALED pouch, which has clearly been autoclaved," says Hodges.
Make sure they're asking you questions. Like, "Did you shave before you came in?" Because who knew, you're really not supposed to do that right before a pedicure because it can leave teeny-tiny nicks in your skin that can get infected.
Or here's another good one: "Um, what's that wound/injury you have on your hand/foot?" Because if you do have one, the technician should look out for your best interests and send you to the doctor, not to a shelf of polish to pick out your fave shade.
True, gorgeous hands and nails are nice to have, but your health is far, far more important.

FINALLY! I got to play....
This card is one of the results!
I think this should fit the sketch for the Stamping 411 challenge as well.
I really like how it looked in the end.
It uses a bashful blue card base, I played some with the new pinking hearts punches; will have to practice alot more with these; on Melon Mambo cardstock, the background is DSP from the SAB paper pack, Welcome Neighbor, I LOVE the new Extra Large Two Step Bird punch, this is also from the SAB paper pack. Melon Mambo ribbon and the sentiment comes from one of the new stamp sets; Well Scripted. Hope you like it!
I also have to say that I love the new clear mount stamps and am sooo happy that SU has finally gone this way. The storage system for these is so great as well, much more efficient use of precious space. :-)
I did make a few more things that I will share with you later in the week.
Thank you for your patience and for stopping by.

|An App That Could Save Your Life
The first few minutes after an injury or medical emergency are the most critical. Knowing what to do in an emergency will help you stay calm and enable you to take the proper actions and precautions, but sometimes when faced with a situation you need instructions.
This can relate to the story of Dan Woolley. Woolley who was an aid worker, husband, and father of two boys, followed instructions on his cell phone to survive the January 12 earthquake in Haiti.
"I had an app that had pre-downloaded all this information about treating wounds. So I looked up excessive bleeding and I looked up compound fracture," Woolley told CNN.
Here's more of the story covered by CNN news:
The application on his iPhone is filled with information about first aid and CPR from the American Heart Association. "So I knew I wasn't making mistakes," Woolley said. "That gave me confidence to treat my wounds properly."
Trapped in the ruins of the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince, he used his shirt to bandage his leg, and tied his belt around the wound. To stop the bleeding on his head, he firmly pressed a sock to it.
Concerned he might have been experiencing shock, Woolley used the app to look up what to do. It warned him not to sleep. So he set his phone alarm to go off every 20 minutes.
Once the battery got down to less than 20 percent of its power, Woolley turned it off. By then, he says, he had trained his body not to sleep for long periods, drifting off only to wake up within minutes.ief efforts focus on water, food, medicine
With his injuries tended to, he wrote a note to his family in his journal: "I was in a big accident, an earthquake. Don't be upset at God. He always provides for his children even in hard times. I'm still praying that God will get me out, but he may not. But even so he will always take care of you."
The journal is stained with his blood.
After more than 60 hours, Woolley was pulled from the rubble.
"Those guys are rescue heroes," he said of the crew that pulled him out.
For Anroid lovers, First Aid is an app redesigned to help you follow instructions in a stressful emergency situation just like Woolley.

actual question regarding london assembley constituencies
how was the make up decided?
i ask because i'm looking at a map of them, and they're a bit... strange.
for instance, i live in the "north east" constituency, which consist of the boroughs of Islington, Hackney and Waltham Forest. obviously these three boroughs are quite, quite different, and a number of the other constituencies seem to be made of similarly-disparate groupings. then again, a number of them aren't.
was there any logic behind these?
Well presumably
it was to ensure that they're of roughly equal size, population-wise, whilst not drawing boundaries through the middle of recognised areas. Constituency boundaries will always be a bit arbitrary for that reason.
well, duh.
my point was more that the boundaries currently set are so wide as to make it difficult to see how someone could decently represent an area's interests.
I don't think it would go down too well anywhere if they started officially designating the city's areas according levels of affluence. For one thing, money moves, and redrawing the boundaries every few years as some demo group realise they live in Craptown and move across a borough might cause headaches in the bureaucracy and tensions in the wallet.
I think there's a clue in their designation: "north-east".
Hey, I just realised - technically we live in the same place. Suck on that, chump!

The sister of prominent Iranian journalist and rights activist Reza Hoda Saber has confirmed her jailed brother's death following a 10-day hunger strike, according to RFE/RL's Radio Farda. Saber had been transferred to a hospital from Tehran's Evin prison, where he had been held since being imprisoned along with hundreds of other activists and intellectuals in the wake of Iran's disputed June 2009 election.
Iranian political activist and journalist Reza Hoda Saber
His sister, Firouzeh Saber, told Radio Farda that the family believes authorities waited several hours after Saber complained of chest pains to hospitalize him.
From jail, Saber had launched his hunger strike on June 2 to protest the treatment of another jailed rights advocate, Haleh Sahabi, who died after what eyewitnesses described as a scuffle at the June 1 funeral of her father, himself a regime opponent who had served time in Iranian jails.
"There are three issues here," Firouzeh Saber told Radio Farda hours after his death. "First of all, why was he in prison? He had been in prison without having been sentenced. Second, why did a tragedy such as [Sahabi's] death happen, leading [Saber] to go on hunger strike? And third, why were [authorities] so careless that it took them several hours to take him to the hospital [after he complained of chest pains]."
This photo posted by the "Kaleme" opposition website suggested that relatives of Reza Hoda Saber gathered in front of Tehran's Modarres hospital after news of his death emerged on June 12.
The opposition "Kaleme" website was among the sources of the original report. The ISNA news agency said Saber's sister had identified his body.
Saber had previously been jailed on several occasions since 2000.

Jasmine's life is transformed through Building Better Opportunities project
Eighteen months ago, Jasmine Clinton had to flee from an abusive relationship for her own safety and that of her four children. She had to create a new life for her family in Bedford, a place where she knew no-one, and felt the shockwaves of her turbulent past every day.
However, her life took an altogether happier turn when she embarked upon a National Lottery-funded enterprise programme through charity SABA. Thanks to its ongoing guidance, Jasmine is now able to envisage a happy and secure future for her family, in which she uses her experience to help fellow survivors of domestic abuse.
Jasmine explained how she was introduced to the charity which changed her life. "When I was trying to get myself together, I found that art became a real therapy," she said. "I hadn't done it since school, but I just picked up a pencil and found that I really enjoyed it. It was useful to depict myself and the emotions I was going through at the time. So I joined an art therapy group, and through that I found out about SABA."
The 32-year-old is being guided by project co-ordinator Anita Powell as part of the Building Better Opportunities project. This is funded by the National Lottery through the Big Lottery Fund and the European Social Fund. The initiative is managed by training and skills provider The Consultancy Home Counties Ltd (TCHC).
Jasmine, whose children are aged between 14 and two, said: "I had been a primary school teacher before I moved to Bedford, but after what happened I just wasn't ready to go back to that. At first, Anita helped me to look for ways to make a career through my art, but it became clear to me that my future lay in helping other women in my situation."
Anita has been meeting Jasmine on a regular basis over the last few months, helping her formulate an action plan to shape her future goals, as well as giving her useful connections in the local area and guiding her through job interview training. "Anita's knowledge blows my mind," said Jasmine. "She's so well connected, so supportive and gave me great advice. It is a very collaborative process and has had a huge impact on me."
Since becoming involved with SABA, Jasmine successfully organised an exhibition of artwork at Bedford Library, entitled Bittersweet: The Untold Story. Held for two weeks last November, the event featured pieces by survivors of domestic abuse, raising awareness of the issue and telling their stories.
Jasmine said: "As well as help from Anita, the exhibition would not have been possible without the support of The Butterfly Project and Families First Bedfordshire. It helped the recovery of the women who took part, and signposted anyone affected by domestic violence to useful organisations. It was great to create a buzz around the artwork and its cause."
Jasmine has also secured voluntary work with a children's centre and has set up her own online support hub for survivors of domestic violence. This is called ROAR (Reach Out: Art Recovery), and Jasmine hopes it will one day become a fully-fledged charity.
"While I haven't yet achieved everything I set out to when I first went to SABA, I've gained so much more than that," she added. "I've understand that changing my life is going to be a long-term thing."
She added: "SABA has completely transformed the way I see the future for myself and my children. I couldn't see the wood for the trees beforehand, and now it's the calmest we've ever been. I am so grateful to have this experience; when I go to tackle a problem now, it's like Anita is sitting on my shoulder guiding me."
Anita said: "Jasmine is a highly creative and passionate student. She is a pleasure to work with, and every week it is great to see her develop plus watching her confidence and her ideas grow."
TCHC Chairman Dale Morgan said: "It is wonderful that the Enterprising People Building Better Opportunities programme has helped Jasmine change her life for the better after such a volatile experience. She is an inspiration to others in her situation and we wish her all the very best in the future."

Elderly friendly Medicine Reminder
A hardware design competition was announced in the annual locus tech fair in 2012. All projects were required to adhere to the tech fair theme "Bridging the digital Divide" Seeing my own grandmother struggle to identify medicines, I came up with the idea for "Elderly friendly Medicine Reminder". The project was fit for the theme – It bridges the existing gap between elderly people and modern electronics. We teamed up and completed the project. The project won the second prize.

Goodbye Sweets
Sad news for my sweets fans! I wanted to announce that Hey Love will no longer be providing sweets orders. It's something that took me several months to feel certain of this decision.
When I started Hey Love a year ago, I was torn between doing sweets or doing designs. So I decided to do both and along the way and test the wateres. I gave myself a year to see which was the clear frontrunner of what made me happy and saw as a long lasting skill to pursue for years to come or to find a way to make both ventures work together. While the sweets part of Hey Love was successful, in the end I found that I truly loved design that much more. I knew from the start I didn't want to open a bakery in a market that's over-saturated with cupcake shops so that helped aid my decision in not continuing this part of my venture. Also running a bakery out of my home, while working a full time job, and having clients that wanted deliveries outside of my free time proved to be difficult.
While I still enjoy baking, it will no longer be done for profit.
So what does this mean for Hey Love? Don't forget there is still the design aspect of it! I've designed many invitations, business cards, and much more over the last year and will continue to do so. To compensate for the loss of the sweets service, you've already seen more in terms of design as well as more party ideas, advice, crafts, free printables, an Etsy shop, and so much more.
I'm looking forward to what's to come and I hope you are too. Thanks for the support.
Note: if you have a current gift certificate for sweets, I will still honor it.

Emerald Ash Borer confirmed in two Quebec towns
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has confirmed the presence of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) in the regional county municipality of D'Autray in the towns of Berthierville andLavaltrie, Quebec. These finds are outside of the current regulated area which includes the regional county municipalities of southwest Quebec, from Pontiac to Acton, and the entire southern region of Ontario.
Effective immediately, the movement of all ash material such as logs, branches, and wood chips, as well as all species of firewood from the affected site, is restricted. Property owners in the affected area are being notified of these restrictions. Other enforcement measures, such as expanding the regulated area, may be implemented once the CFIA completes its survey work before the end of 2016.
Although EAB poses no threat to human health, it attacks and is highly destructive to ash trees. It has already killed millions of ash trees in Ontario, Quebec and the United States, and poses a major economic and environmental threat to urban and forested areas of North America. The CFIA continues to work with federal, provincial, and municipal governments to slow its spread.
Quick Facts
- The Emerald Ash Borer is native to China and eastern Asia. It's presence in Canada was first confirmed in 2002.
- The Emerald Ash Borer is present only in certain areas of Ontario and Quebec and is regulated by the CFIA to protect Canada's forests and nurseries.
- Moving untreated firewood is a common way for invasive insects and diseases to spread. – CNW

I exhibited my fabulous Pop Art Bottoms and Montage Icon Portraits at this years AAF Battersea along side other artists represented by The Cynthia Corbett Gallery. The private view was a huge success with champagne flowing to a mash up of soulful ska and electronic beats played by the brilliant Chris Pedley from The Baker Brothers. This fair was very up beat and it reflected in the sales, every gallery sold well, people's spirits were high and there was definitely less of a feeling of economic doom and gloom. As per usual at our stand, the Cynthia Corbett Gallery, it was an array of colour and contemporary art, glowing like a succulent juicy orange waiting to be peeled!
I sold some lovely bottoms and so got to display several pieces of my work by re-hanging. I took several strolls down the aisles and took some pictures of art that interested me or stood out from the crowd. Of course i remain loyal to some of the fabulous artists that my gallery represents such as Deborah Azoppardi! I have also attached a couple of pictures to remind you that i hand paint the body first before photographing it as people don't seem to get that!xx
exhibiting alongside the fabulous Deborah Azoppardi, our work always looks great together.

Chocs Away Ginger
As a gift for my 40th birthday Steve & Liz very kindly paid for me to have a thirty minute flying lesson from Caernarfon airport.
I really didn't know what to expect. Was it going to be classroom bound session covering the principles of aerodynamics, or was I actually going to get my hands on the uh ... wheel? (or is it called a joystick?)
As it turned out I was allowed to go all the way and it was such a thrill !
|We arrived at the airport in plenty of time to complete a membership form which probably had some disclaimer about crashing in the small print somewhere. Steve had to fill one in as well because he was coming along for the ride as the official photographer.
After the fomalities were concluded we followed our teacher across the tarmac striding like fighter pilots towards what looked like a Cuban MiG jet.
Before I wet myself with excitement we stopped at the little plane next to it and clambered ungainly into its cockpit.
It was apparently a very new (six months old) Piper Warrior III light aircraft and whilst it may have felt tiny it certainly wasn't the smallest plane on the block.
After our pre-flight checks of making sure all the gadgets were working and that the elastic band was tightly wound the pilot then turned the ignition.
The propeller blade spluttered to life then blurred out of view. To the untrained ear it sounded only slightly more powerful than a lawn mower engine!
We taxied down the runway waving to our loved ones gathered to watch us take off. Now this would not have been a good time to crash, not that there ever is a "good time" but now most definetly wouldn't have been.
As we turned onto the runway, he flipped his flaps, pushed the throttle up to max, and off we went hurtling down the strip at a tremendous speed. He pulled back on his stick and up up and away we went.
Within no time we had climbed to 1200 ft where we levelled off and he turned down the revs. I thought for a moment we were going to stall and plummet to the earth like a swotted fly but I guess he knew what he was doing.
So we started our pleasure flight over the Menai Straits, travelling along at a sedate 120mph!
On such a grey day the mountains of Snowdonia were shrouded in cloud. It was a shame but we had plenty of things to see on the ground.
The first landmark we saw was Caernarfon and its stunning castle. It were as if we were looking down on Toy Town, with little cars and toy boats.
Looking around the area it made me realise what a beautiful part of the world we live in. It was interesting to see how near the villages were to each other. I suppose as the crow flies is always the shortest distance.
"Do you live locally?" asked the pilot.
"Yes, near Bangor"
"Would you like to fly over your house?"
"Oh Yes!" I over-excitedly replied.
So I pointed out the cluster of houses on the hillside that was Rhiwlas and he made his way over in the direction.
Following the main road we then spotted Felin Uchaf. It was strange sensation looking down on your own house!
Then came the moment I'd been waiting for!
"You can fly it now" he said and after a simple instruction of left, right, up, down and please no rapid movements, he took his hands off and I took over control.
For the next minute we flew in a straight line!
I eventually built up the confidence to turn.
"Can I go anywhere ?" I asked.
He nodded so I tentatively turned the wheel and we banked a little to the left.
My horizon monitor showed me that we were heading nose down so I pulled back on the stick and levelled it off. Back into a straight line over Beaumaris.
"You're a natural" I heard him say.
It was such a buzz!
I then turned the plane around with greater confidence heading back over Menai Bridge.
After we flew over the two bridges we heard on the radio that we should be aware of other traffic in the sky above Felin Heli.
"That's not good. We're over Felin Heli" said our pilot.
Another plane and six microlites were up here somewhere so most of the return journey was spent keeping an eye out for them.
(Incoming. Two o'clock.)
By the time we reached Caernarfon airport we had accounted for them all.
We were made to wait for our landing to allow the microlites time and space to get down and get off the runway.
So we followed the other plane out towards the Llyn Peninsula. (I was still in control at this stage) Then we turned very sharply back towards the airport. (We both had our hands on the controls for that manouvere)
It felt like we were in a stunt plane but we'd only turned about 15 degrees!
After circling around the airfield once I then handed over control and the pilot took us in to land.
Gathered at the start of the runway (on the access road to the airport) a gaggle of plane spotters were taking photos as we flew at what felt like only feet above their heads. I was relieved that we didn't plough into them.
As we touched down reasonably smoothly our minds turned to the next step which was of course slowing ourselves down.
To the untrained pilot the method used appeared to be a frantic scramble at pulling levers, flapping flaps, crossing fingers, everything but throw the anchor out the window.
"Sierra, Hotdog, Idiot, Tango" !
We did eventually slow down enough to perform a nifty handbrake turn and taxi off the runway.
The whole experience was absolutely superb and if time & money wasn't an object I could easily find myself going for a pilot's licence!

Authenticity has probably always been a major concern of many consumers and it is still gaining more and more importance. In our study we used two analytical methods to characterize antioxidant activity and to evaluate the authenticity of juices; isotope ratio mass spectrometer(IRMS) and Electron Paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Isotope ratio mass spectrometry is a promising tool for origin assignation of food, thus 13C, 18O and 2H measurements are intensively used in forensic study to prove product authenticity. This application has been particularly useful in food quality control, because it allows the detection of added sugar and water in fruit juices and in tracing the geographical origin of food. The obtained results have shown that the both commercial juices are authentic fruit juices with no exogenous water and no addition of C4 sugar, according to those labels. Antioxidant properties of commercially-available ground and instant coffees were investigated by means of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) using as oxidants, 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine N-oxyl (TEMPOL)
Cuvinte cheie: Fruit juice, antioxidants, Stable isotopes, EPR spectroscopy, Tempol

Little girl writes letter to Trump. His response changed her life [video]• https://thehornnews.com
An 11-year-old girl from Maryland has just made President Donald Trump an offer that he could not turn down.
At last week's White House news briefing, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders delightfully read a letter from Natalie who had an "amazing opportunity" for the president — to eat a home-cooked meal made by the little girl and her cousin.
The brave little girl was then extended an offer to visit the White House and cook the president and First Lady Melania Trump a meal with their culinary staff.
Watch the video here —
"I'm Natalie and I'm 11 years old, almost 12. My cousin, Celia, who is 8 years old and I have loved to cook since we practically were born… From the time we were very little, we've helped our Nona in the kitchen, therefore we are very good cooks for little girls," she began her letter.

Letters To The Editor
From Issue #109
A hand-pumped well
We have been farming organically for 32 years. We would appreciate advice on digging and hooking up a handpumped water well for use when electricity fails.
A Whole Sheebang gift for a Wyoming library
I have been a subscriber for most of your publication's life. This is the finest magazine of its type. I think it should be shared with all those folks who are interested in a better way of life. I am ordering the Whole Sheebang for our library here in Gillette, Wyoming.
"Justice for all" a farce
Had a bit of trouble scraping up money for my renewal. Those letters you had from jail hit close to home. We had a family feud here. My brother tried to extort money and a car from my son who had just returned home from Kosovo, a sargent in the PA National Guard. This happened about a year and a half ago. My son wouldn't go for it, so my brother had his daughter trump up charges of molestation against my son and now my son is in state prison no matter that the daughter contradicted herself in her deposition to CYS and the DA. After the DA badgered my son into a plea bargain (my son almost had a nervous breakdown in court) we did take my brother to court for harassment and to prove that they lied on one of the charges.
Like I said, we know how those people feel and know their predicament. Nowadays "justice for all" is a farce. If you don't have money, you just don't get justice. Public defenders are that in name only and the courts only care about putting people in jail no matter what. It's a wonder they don't charge a person for perjury after they force them to lie in court which is just what a person has to do in order to plea bargain.
We could not bring up the girl's past history of doing the very same thing to at least 2 other men. Also the Public Defender told my son that in almost all cases such as his the courts automatically believe the girl so he took the plea bargain in order to avoid the 15 year prison sentence he could have received if found guilty.
Informed juries
Love the magazine and especially the editorial (Self-reliance equals freedom, Issue no. 107). I was on a jury a few years ago for a seat belt violation (in our state of Texas). We found the man guilty (because it was the law and we were instructed to follow the law) but we fined him only $5. The trial immediately after us had the same outcome. It was obvious this irritated the judge, county attorney, and DPS officer who were tying up their time. I feel this sends the same type message.
Cancel my subscription
I received my latest edition (Nov/Dec 2007) in the mail a week ago and promptly opened it up to John Silveira's "My view: Questions about Global Warming" Issue No. 108. Needless to say, I'm disappointed and saddened by Mr. Silveira's optimistic view of a warmer planet. This possible cause of a "boon to humanity"??? I especially did not agree with Mr. Silveira's equation of environmentalism with socialism. Grow up.
I have been increasingly disappointed in your magazine's lack of social responsibility. For me, this was the last straw. Please cancel my subscription…
Going home soon
Dave, I just received my renewal notice in the mail, and I am sorry to say that I'm not going to renew at this time. However I am also happy to say it is for a good reason. You see I am 48 days from going home, and I want to wait to order again so I can drive to Gold Beach and do it in person, and I do not want to give this address because I won't be here when my next issue would get here.
For the last 5 years even though I made $3 a day I always made sure I had my Backwoods Home. I have enjoyed every issue and there is no way I will not be a subscriber to your magazine. Believe it or not Backwoods Home is a very popular magazine on the inside. A lot of guys do not have the money to spend on magazines, but they flock to the ones of us that do get it as fast as they do to the guys who get the girly magazines. There is even a group of guys that hang together just because we are a bunch of old country boys. You and all of your staff have made life for us just a little more bearable and have earned my heart felt thanks.
The shock of being home and the time it takes me to get on my feet will be the only thing that determines how soon I am able to renew, but I hope to see you some time in Jan. It is going to be so wonderful to be back with my wife and on the farm.
Appropriate handgun
We have been faithful Backwoods Home readers since 01-02 (saving all issues). The first thing I read in every issue is Massad Ayoob's article. I have also obtained all the print anthologies prior to '02, largely to read his articles. My request is to Captain Ayoob. I have been pretty much away from firearms since returning from 'Nam in '70, but recently obtained my concealed carry permit and am shopping for the appropriate handgun. Ever since having a 45 in the army I've wanted one. However, I'm 64"not as young as I once was"so the weight and kick might be a bit much for an old geezer, so I'm looking at a sub compact 9mm. From what I've read the Glock is appealing: very reliable, light weight, and without levers that must be operated before it will shoot (levers an old guy under stress might forget about). It sounds simple, like a spurless revolver. (By the way, are 9mm revolvers being made?) Yesterday I drove the hour or so to Gander Mountain to see and handle a Glock 26, but to confuse me, the salesman also got out a Springfield XD and a S&W M&P. All 3 appear simple to operate, light weight, and relatively similar in cost (around an $80 range). Help! Can you give me an objective comparison of the 3? I would like to know both the pros and cons of each and their mags: reliability (even if not cleaned and oiled regularly), dependability (if dropped, buried in mud or sand, etc.), durability (run over by a truck, thrown against a cement wall), maintenance, etc. (I've read the Glock stands more than the above.) If there are other similar pistols I should consider please include comparisons of them also. I know there are numerous articles on all of these, but I need it in parallel form and simple language to be able to understand clearly. Thank you very much for your help; I want to make an informed decision soon.
The unheralded roots of America's freedoms
Your editorial in the Nov/Dec 2007, (The unheralded roots of America's freedoms, Issue No. 108), was simply great. It reminded me of a life long research that I started in 1935. At this time I became interested in the Huron Indian cemetery in Wyandote County, Kansas City, Kansas, because a group of us kids living in my neighborhood, most of whom had Native American Blood, would walk about three miles every Saturday to the public library to study for our classes in Wyandote High School.
After getting our books at the library we would go next door to the Huron Cemetery to study a bit before going home. While we were in the cemetery we would discuss why the Huron Cemetery was in the downtown area of Kansas City, Kansas. I became interested in this question and decided to research the answer. Now 73 years later I am still working on the same question.
According to Huron legend a constitution was developed by two Indians living in what is now northeast United States and southeast Canada. One of these Indians, a Huron, was called Degandawida, and the other was the famous Hiawatha from the Seneca Tribe. Degandawida was born with a voice disability and could not speak clearly, while Hiawatha had a natural ability to take Degandawida's ideas and express them clearly.
Dagandawida developed a political theory which was based on the idea of separation of governmental powers and included women in the constitution who were the only ones with the power to declare war. But he was unable to sell it to his own people or to other tribes of the Iroquois Nations. Hiawatha joined forces with Degandawida and together they formed a constitution called the League of Five nations. Their constitution was the first law that divided the powers of a government into different groups but it did not include the Huron Tribe. You might call it the first constitution proclaiming a Republic form of government.
The only problem was that the Huron tribe refused to become a part of this constitution. This made them bitter enemies of the League. In the year 1649 the League attacked the Huron Tribe and killed most of the Huron People. Those Huron People who were still alive after the battle moved south into an area controlled by a tribe called Wyandote. The League did not consider the Wyandote as their enemies.
At that time it was the custom of the various Indian tribes to adopt, as relatives, individuals from other tribes whom they respected, or those that had admirable characteristics. Because they had been friends with the people of the Huron Tribe for many years the Wyandote People adopted the Huron People still alive into the Wyandote Tribe. The living Huron People then became Wyandote People and they were no longer enemies of the League.
All went well for awhile, until the Europeans started pushing west into Wyandote territory. The Wyandote People, including those of Huron descent held council and decided to move west to a place that is near what is now called Detroit, Michigan. Here the Wyandote were attacked by the League on the basis that once the Wyandote People had been friends with the Huron People. The Huron People who were adopted by the Wyandote People did not want to cause further trouble for their friends so they held council and decided to separate from them and move to a place now known as Sandusky, Ohio.
In 1842 the United States government decided they wanted the land around Sandusky, Ohio that was held by the Wyandote/Huron and made them an offer for it, which included giving them land at the mouth of the Kaw River where it empties into the Missouri River. This area is now Kansas City, Kansas and the Huron Cemetery is in the main business district.
In 1855 the Wyandote/Huron ceded this land to the United States Government but part of the contract bound the government to "forever maintain the Huron Cemetery as a burial ground for their people." This was to prevent the League from any encroachment upon their sacred grounds.
In 1906 Congress passed a bill for the Secretary of the Interior to sell the Huron Cemetery. This bill specified that the dead bodies in the cemetery be moved to a cemetery in Quindaro, Kansas, but when the commission started to move the bodies they found the cemetery gates padlocked and a sign on them saying "Trespass At Your Own Risk." Two Wyandote/Huron sisters named Lydia and Hellena Conley had locked the gates, built a fort over their parents' graves and sat in the cemetery with shotguns across their laps.
Of course, these sisters were hauled into Federal Court on a charge of "disturbing the peace" and Fort Conley was burned, but after being released the same two sisters built a new fort in the same place and proceeded to protect the graves of their parents.
Lydia Conley had studied some law and filed a suit in Federal court to not permit the government to disturb the dead in their sacred ground. This suit went the routine of courts and finally ended up in the U.S. Supreme Court which declared that Ms. Conley could not establish a legal title to the property to the value of $2000 or any right to have the cemetery undisturbed.
At this point Kansas senator Charles Curtis who was Kaw Indian and later the only one of substantial Native American blood to ever become a U. S. Vice President entered the picture. He vowed to get this statue repealed. This he accomplished in 1913.
Would this leave the ancient Wyandote/Huron dead in peace? If you think so you are mistaken. When the government decided to let the Indian Reservations have gambling casinos the Wyandote reservation in Oklahoma sued the state of Kansas for the property known as the Huron Cemetery. They wanted to leave the graves alone but to build a building over them to be used as a gambling casino. This suit is still going through the courts and will probably never be settled.
I sometimes wonder if anyone dead or alive can be left in peace by other people.
In your article "The unheralded roots of America's freedoms," (Issue No. 108) it made me realize even more the injustice our public school systems do to our children. Just recently my wife and I decided to homeschool our children because of scenarios like this. I could go on and on but mostly I just want to say that I appreciate that there is a magazine like yours that looks for the truth. If I ever became a millionaire for some strange reason, I would buy every copy you guys put out and hand them out to all who would take them.
Compact fluorescents
The article by Jeffrey Yago about compact fluorescent light bulbs (Issue 107) was very informative, and timely.
I have been without "store-bought" electricity for the better part of 2 decades now, and my experiences with this type of light bulb have been very similar to his. I've watched the quality of this product decline to the standards of what is presently being marketed by China-Mart.
I hope in a future article, Mr. Yago will report on Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology, and the availability of these products. These are already available from some companies, such as C. Crane, and new, improved models are coming on the market every day.
Perhaps this is another great idea that we should take advantage of, before its manufacturing facilities are shipped offshore.
Chigger repellent
This is in response to Robert Smith's letter in Sept/Oct 2007 asking about the ingredients in his father's chigger repellent. When I was a kid (this was in the 1950s) my parents would dust our socks and shorts with a fine yellow powder which was called "Flowers of Sulfur." We were told that this was to repel chiggers. As far as I remember, it seemed to work. Never did taste it, but I'm sure it would have been terrible. It was available in drug stores.
Thanks for the plastic
I am sending you a little extra just to thank you for the plastic covering. Before, I never got a magazine "whole""it was always ripped, and my post office said it was not their fault. Oh well.
Lapsing subscription
Please, please don't let my magazines lapse. I let them pile up unread all year. Then when it came time to renew, I thought maybe I didn't need them anymore, but then I started reading those backed up magazines. Wow! I quickly remembered why I need ya'll. I sat up to 3:30 in the morning, reading and reading. Couldn't get enough. So please have mercy on this old woman and accept my renewal without a lapse.
It's work, but it's fun
I'm old enough to remember when your lifestyle was a necessity for folks that didn't live in a big city. I still do my own canning"so I especially like Jackie Clay and all her articles. Raising your own food is work"but it's fun work"not mindless punching on a computer keyboard.
Story of a dead duck
I want to tell you I look forward to getting Backwoods Home and even when I don't have much time to read I am done reading it all too soon! I shamelessly pass on the irreverent Jokes. Here's something for your consideration:
Nowadays they have all kinds of monopoly games made for branches of service, colleges, cities and states. With modern technology they can update them to current events so now the Idaho and Minnesota games have a new chance card reading: You are in a toilet stall next to Senator Larry Craig lose a turn.
A woman goes into a vets office with a duck wrapped in a blanket. "Doctor you have to do something for my duck!" The vet examines the duck and tells her it is dead. She screams "there must be something you can do!" He says there is a test or two but they are costly. The women is so upset she does not care about money so the vet opens a door and a Labrador retriever comes in, walks around the duck in a circle sniffing and looks up and shakes his head and walks back out. The vet says "I'm sorry." The woman insists on the other test. The Vet opens another door and a cat walks in circles around the duck, looks up, shakes his head, and walks out. The doctor says, "That's all the tests I can do; the duck is dead!" The woman sobs and asks how much she owes, and the vet replies "$165" The woman is surprised "Why so much just to tell me my duck is dead?" The vet explains "It would have been $20 but you insisted on a lab report and a cat scan!"
The bigger picture
We have been readers of BHM for a few years now. Your magazine has had a real impact on us. Not just how-to articles or farming tricks but also how we see the future of this country and it doesn't look promising. Your editorials and John Silveira's articles have helped us see the "bigger picture."
Dreaming of homestead
You have planted ideas in me that never would have occurred without BHM. Until BHM I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my future. Homesteading just seems so right. I am working on my Homesteaders dream of a small 50 acre farm in Southern Oregon around the Bandon area. I have 2 other adults who are going to join me in this new life. I am going to put my property here in Portland, Oregon on the market in a year (that's my plan at this time).
. . . Thanks for the dream seeds.
America can't be saved
I know my subscription isn't up yet but your offer is too good to pass up, and your magazine too. I have your Emergency Preparedness which is one of the best I've read.
I also have Dave's "Can America Be Saved." However Dave, I don't think it can. They're too entrenched in our government and have too many people dependent on the government to change. Always vote for the people that back welfare.
Love your mag. Keep the truth coming out and your powder dry. May God help America, we need it.
Home burglar alarm
OK, sign me up! I've been reading your magazine for a coupla years, and now that I'm moving out of the "city" to a smaller town that's just too far from the book store, I might just as well have it delivery'd to the local postal orifice. You folks have a lot of great ideas for a person who is just buying his first home, and I don't want to do with out ya. Gonna be so nice to get out of that Hell's acres trailer court surrounded by illegal aliens whose hobby seems to be thieving. After the second burglary, I came up with a home made burglar alarm that some of your readers may appreciate.
Buy one of those motion detector lights and remove the light part. Run the light wires to one or two alarm buzzers or bells that you can buy at an electronics store. Ask for school fire alarm buzzers, and make sure they're 110 volt. Rig it to a light switch near the door, and you have a relatively inexpensive home burglar alarm. It's deterred 3 burglaries at my home, so far. I particularly like Mas Ayoob's articles. My personal home defense weapon, for "close encounters of the personal kind" is an antique 10 inch meat cleaver, to deter unarmed invaders. Any fool seeing this ex-biker coming with that thing in hand and a homicidal look on my face would definitely have second thoughts. Well, I'm gettin kind windy, keep up the good work. Here's a check for a 3 yr. sub.

text: For decades, divorces and remarriages in Florida have been expanding the size of families. With the proliferation of step relationships within families, people increasingly wonder how to divide their time and resources between biological kin and step relatives. A university researcher who manages studies of family demographics said that uncertainty about how to allocate attention and money between various stepchildren and grandchildren sometimes creates tension when paying for college or planning vacations.
