Open-concept? U-shaped kitchen layout? Bedrooms near to or distant from each other? The perfect floor plan, like all things in life, will forever be an aspiration, not a reality. However, knowing the do's and don'ts of layout can help you get a little closer to the ideal when you're shopping for or designing your home.
"Look for a floor plan that suits your particular family needs," says architect Richard Briginshaw, a professor of architecture at Algonquin College and co-ordinator of the school's Green Architecture program. Make sure there's enough space for current and future needs, for example, but why buy a four-bedroom home when three bedrooms would suffice?
Go for simplicity, he adds: hallways that resemble mazes are bad news, while a powder room easily accessible from the living or family room is good.
Room placement is a common design flaw, says Brigin-shaw - think of kitchens so distant from the garage that your arms are aching by the time you unload the groceries.
When visiting a model home, walk through it multiple times: Is everything easily accessible? Does the flow feel natural? Do you have a sense of the whole house no matter where you are?
Books like the Creative Homeowner series on house plans (see amazon.ca) can help you define your needs.
The front door should create a clear sense of arrival, unlike garage-prominent homes that make you think cars, not people, are the homeowners. Inside, the foyer must be large enough to remove and store coats and boots without creating gridlock. When assessing the entry plan, imagine a couple with a child in tow arriving together in mid-January.
Tend to let dirty dishes and mail pile up on countertops? Get impatient with the noise of your children and spouse? Then maybe the ultra-popular open-concept kitchen/family/living room isn't for you.
On the other hand, an open concept can promote family interaction, it's terrific when entertaining and the sense of spaciousness is hard to beat. Just make sure there's at least one room, maybe a den, for occasional privacy.
When looking at open-concept plans, says designer Suzanne Martin of Ottawa's Luxurious Living Studio, remember that fewer walls and more big windows and patio doors can make positioning furniture tricky.
"Maybe a couple of smaller chairs instead of a big sofa would work better," she suggests.
As well, in open-concept designs "furniture is sometimes pulled away from walls to help define space. That can be hard to light because outlets are on walls."
Lots of pot lights are one solution.
The traditional U-shaped kitchen where fridge, sink and stove form a triangle is increasingly passé, according to Sandra Gibbons, co-ordinator of Algonquin College's Kitchen and Bath Design program. That's in part because it realistically allows only one cook at a time - not good when everyone is a budding Jamie Oliver.
More workable is a solid row of cabinetry and countertops along one wall with a large island facing it and defining the kitchen space. Appliances should be positioned according to your needs, she says: "How do you use your microwave? If you use it mostly for heating up (pre-prepared) food, it should be close to the fridge."
The stove should not be beside a wall because you need to be able to turn pot handles so they don't get bumped or pots pulled off by children. And you don't want the dishwasher and fridge doors colliding if both are opened at once.
The bathroom is such a personal space that it's hard to lay down floor plan rules, says Gibbons.
She does suggest that if you have young children make sure there's enough room in front of the tub to kneel and bathe them easily. If you don't have young ones, do you even want a bathtub chewing up floor space?
And if you have - or will have - teenage girls, Gibbons warns that they demand more counter space than boys.
Martin, a veteran bathroom designer, says to check for adequate storage space, towel bars that are recessed or at least not in the line of traffic ("Ouch, that hurts!" she exclaims) and doors that don't wedge you in when you try to open or close them (pocket doors are one solution, but she says they're not very sound proof).
Check the often-small powder room: can you stand up from the toilet without smashing into the wall? Can you bend down in front of the sink?
Bigger bedrooms (at least 10 by 10) and walk-in closets are crucial if your family includes teenage girls, says Anna Paquette, manager of sales operations with Minto Communities - Ontario. Teenage boys, not so much.
Empty nesters, used to quiet and privacy, sometimes like the master bedroom and ensuite at one end of the house and guest bedrooms, separated by the living area, at the other end of the house. Park View Homes' Lancaster bungalow in Starlight Hill Estates in Richmond is designed that way.
Older buyers may gravitate toward bungalows, but younger house hunters typically contend with lots of stairs. Are staircases situated to allow easy access to both the basement and upper storey? asks Briginshaw. He points to a glass-panelled staircase by RND Construction as an example of elegant and practical design. The staircase won a renovation award in the 2012 Housing Design Awards organized by the Greater Ottawa Home Builders' Association.
Aging, illness or an accident could put you or a family member in a wheelchair or walker. Extra-wide hallways and door frames - or at least ones that could be easily widened - would make life easier.
Canada's aging population also means increased requests for in-law suites, say some builders. Richcraft's solutions include, in some models, a basement-level "nanny suite" as an upgrade or conversion of a main-floor library/guest room to an in-law suite with a bathroom.
Metric Homes, meanwhile, offers Home-Within-a-Home models. Designed for multi-generational living, they look like single-family homes from the outside and have a common entrance but inside feature two kitchens, two family rooms and the like.
Last, but far from least: Consider the environmental and pocketbook footprints of your floor plan. Buying only as much house as you need, says Briginshaw, means you use "less land, less material and less energy in the long run. That will also cost you less for heating and cooling."
Sounds like a plan.

Los Angeles-based painter Justin Bower makes portraiture a glitched metaphor, literally and figuratively, to the present and future of a combined human and computer existence. Bower "…paints his subjects as de-stabilized, fractured post-humans in a nexus of interlocking spatial systems. His paintings problematize how we define ourselves in this digital and virtual age while suggesting the impossibility of grasping such a slippery notion."
Absorbing different movements and styles (visually one could see a connection to the paintings of Francis Bacon, Jenny Saville, Op Art, as well as early 90's Cyberpunk and post-Millenium Glitch aesthetics), Bower creates large-scale works that seem almost pained, frustrated or weariness, but with a computer-like void of any tangible, specific emotion. This is balanced delicately by the controlled, digital-referencing malfunctioned backgrounds, combined with loose, painterly brush work, affirming the power and communicability of the paint medium.

Casa de la India collaborates with the University of Valladolid, the Embassy of India in Spain and other institutions in promoting Indian studies in Spain. Within the framework of Asian studies, which are playing a growing role in Spanish Universities, the aim of the courses organised by the Casa de la India is to strengthen both the studies of classical and contemporary India and its modern languages.
With the support of the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) of the Indian Government regular courses in Hindi are offered, recognised by the University of Valladolid (Language Centre) and taught by native teachers up to different levels. These courses are aimed at university students and members of the general public interested in learning one of the most important languages in the world and in widening their knowledge of Indian culture. The Hindi language classes are theoretical and practical, and are focussed in such a way that the student can dominate the script and use the language in a real context.
Casa de la India hopes to promote postgraduate courses on India by supporting, along with the University of Valladolid and other universities, the initiative to start a Master in Indian Studies. It is hoped that the Specialist in India postgraduate course previously offered by the University of Valladolid will, under the new postgraduate system now in place in Spain, form the basis of a Master offered in conjunction with other universities.

Bensonwood, a New Hampshire-based precision home builder, has a new line of high-performance, prefabricated homes that are capable of achieving both net-zero and Passive House standards. Unity Homes is a line of four home designs that provide a high level of energy and resource efficiency, while requiring low maintenance through the use of high quality materials. Built in panelized sub-assemblies in Bensonwood's factory, Unity Homes are then efficiently delivered and completed in three months or less. With this new line of homes, Bensonwood is striving to comfortable, affordable and sustainable homes.
Bensonwood's Unity Homes features four distinct home styles that are 2 to 4 bedrooms and range in size from 1,113 to 2,452 sq ft. The home styles are called the Tradd (a classic Tall Cape), Xyla (American Bungalow), Värm (Swedish Contemporary) and Zūm (a Modern Green Cabin). The homes are built in Bensonwood's factory by skilled building systems specialists using advanced software systems and automated cutting machines to create sub-assemblies and larger assemblies with a high level of precision. These completed elements are flat-packed and shipped to the site where they are unpacked and assembled in 1-3 days. In total, from fabrication to completion a Unity Home takes as little as 20 to 60 working days.
Unity Homes are engineered to be able to achieve net-zero status and Passive House standards. Each home features R-35 walls using OBPlusWall™, R-44 roof, triple-pane windows (for cold climates) that allow more natural light and less heat loss, and a very rigorous assembly process gives industry leading air-tightness (less than or equal to .6 @ 50 Pascals, the Passive House standard). Each Unity home comes with a range of stylish and eco-conscious standard specifications, with carefully chosen and green options to customize exterior and interior finishes and fixtures. With the addition of a renewable energy system such as photovoltaics or a small-scale wind turbine, each Unity Home could easily be energy neutral.
"The typical American home is a performance dinosaur, and is too much of a long term burden for homeowners and society. Bensonwood aims to help make this species extinct with a new breed of beautiful, functional and über-efficient homes under the new Unity Homes brand," explained said Tedd Benson, founder of Bensonwood, in a press release. "All the homes in the Unity collection will use 50-75% less energy than typical homes on the market today, thereby making fossil-fuel heating systems unnecessary because the energy loads are so low," added Benson.

Bulldogs Seeking Upsets
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's ice hockey team has a chance to knock off a pair of top-10 opponents this weekend as No. 9 Harvard and No. 10 Dartmouth visit Ingalls Rink. Saturday's game is Youth Day, with free admission for children 12 and under, raffles, giveaways and a post-game autograph session with the team.
Yale head coach Joakim Flygh will once again face his former employer on Friday night. Flygh was an assistant coach at Harvard for three seasons, from 2007 to 2010, before taking over the Bulldogs.
Yale (1-20-0, 1-13-0 ECAC Hockey) had some close games against these two teams last season. At Harvard on Oct. 29, 2010, the Bulldogs came away with a 3-3 tie as junior goalie Erin Callahan (Kenilworth, Ill.) made 32 saves in relief of an injured Jackee Snikeris '11. The Bulldogs were actually 14 seconds away from winning the game, having taken a 3-2 lead on a third-period goal by junior forward Alyssa Zupon (Basking Ridge, N.J.), before the Crimson tied it. Yale also had a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Dartmouth at Ingalls last January, as a third-period goal by senior forward Aleca Hughes (Westwood, Mass.) with 6:35 to play pulled the Bulldogs within one but they could not get the equalizer.
Hughes, Yale's captain, enters the weekend with the team lead in assists and points (3-8-11). Sophomore forward Jackie Raines (London, Ont.) leads the team with seven goals, including five on the power play.
Senior goalie Genny Ladiges (Almonte, Ont.) has played some of her best hockey of late, with 40 or more saves in four of the last five games. She is fourth in ECAC Hockey with 533 saves, and since Nov. 25 she has posted a .910 save percentage (272 saves) while allowing only 15 even-strength goals in eight games.
Harvard (12-6-1, 9-4-1 ECAC Hockey) enters the weekend in third place in the ECAC Hockey standings, three points behind second-place Quinnipiac and seven points behind first-place Cornell. The Crimson is ninth in the country in scoring defense (1.95 goals per game) and 10th in scoring offense (3.26 goals per game). Forward Jillian Dempsey leads the team in scoring (12-12-24), while goalie Laura Bellamy has a .918 save percentage and a 1.94 goals-against average.
Dartmouth (12-6-2, 8-4-2 ECAC Hockey) is the only ECAC Hockey team to have knocked off first-place Cornell, and the Big Green nearly pulled that feat off a second time last weekend. After taking a 5-4 win at Lynah Rink Nov. 11, Dartmouth pushed Cornell to overtime at Thompson Arena last Saturday before falling 1-0. That snapped the Big Green's eight-game unbeaten streak.
Forward Camille Dumais leads Dartmouth in scoring (9-16-25), while forward Reagan Fischer has four game-winning goals (tied for seventh nationally). Lindsay Holdcroft has a .918 save percentage and a 2.03 goals-against average.

You never know when disaster will strike, so it's a good idea to have a diabetes emergency kit prepared and readily available, just in case. Your diabetes emergency kit should have essential diabetes supplies, copies of prescriptions, some food and water, and be stored in a water-tight container. Should you find yourself faced with evacuating your house due to severe weather, you can grab the diabetes emergency kit and know that you'll have everything you need. You may also wish to pack a diabetes emergency kit for your child at school, and keep it in the classroom, in case there's a lockdown.

Arizona Supreme Court: "Tattoos are Free Speech"
Backpiece by Tim Kern.
Tattooing got another huge legal boost on Friday when the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that tattooing is free speech in the zoning case of Coleman v. City of Mesa (link to decision). This is the first time in the United States that a state supreme court has extended First Amendment protections to tattooing.
A federal court, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, ruled in 2010 that "tattooing is purely expressive activity fully protected by the First Amendment" in the case of Johnny Anderson v. City of Hermosa Beach, which was also a case where tattooists were denied the right to open up shop due to zoning restrictions. [My giddy discussion of that case can be found here.]
The Arizona Supreme Court noted that courts have been divided on the issue of tattooing being constitutionally protected expression (and gave example of different cases) but found that "the approach adopted in Anderson is most consistent with First Amendment case law and the free speech protections under Arizona's Constitution."
In both the Coleman and Andersen cases, the courts found that, not only tattoos but the process of tattooing, and therefore, the business of tattooing are protected speech. The Arizona Supreme Court also noted that this protection applies even if an artist is using "standard designs or patterns" like flash, just as cable TV companies are "engaged in protected speech activities even when they only select programming originally produced by others" (citing Turner Broad. Sys., Inc. v. FCC).
This is a win for the Colemans but the fight isn't over. The case now goes back to the superior court, which originally dismissed the tattooists' claims as a matter of law saying that the Mesa City Council decision in 2009 to deny the Colemans a permit to open their tattoo shop was "a reasonable and rational regulation of land use." The Colemans appealed and the Arizona Appeals Court overturned the Superior Court's dismissal finding that they should have had the opportunity to make their case. The City of Mesa appealed that, which is how the case found its way to the Arizona Supreme Court.
The Superior Court will now look at whether the decision to deny the permit served a compelling governmental interest and was reasonably related to furthering that interest. Local government does have an interest in regulating tattooing by protecting the health and safety of the public. The issue is whether the rules further that purpose.
In this case, the Mesa planning board had recommended that the Colemans be given a permit subject to certain conditions, like limiting the hours of operation, loitering, refusing to do racist and gang tattoos, and also working with police to identify known gang tattoos. They agreed to those conditions. But the Mesa City Council denied the permit, according to the Yuma Sun, "after hearing concerns from neighbors about the shop possibly drawing crime and reducing property values. Only Mayor Scott Smith was in support." Now Mesa needs to show that this decision was not arbitrary and irrational and did not go against the Equal Protection and Due Process clauses of the Constitution.
I'm guessing, or at least hope, that this case will settle. The tax payers of Mesa have already spent enough money on trying to stop a business from opening, when all a long they could have taxed them and gained revenue for the city -- and also made Mesa more artful.

April 3, 2013 + Mystical and Sacramental Marriage
by Archimandrite Aimilianos of Simonopetra, Mount Athos
"Nobody would dispute that the most important day in a person's life, after his birth and baptism, is that of his marriage. It is no surprise, then, that the aim of contemporary worldly and institutional upheavals is precisely to crush the most honorable and sacred mystery of marriage. For many people, marriage is an opportunity for pleasures and amusements. Life, however, is a serious affair. It is a spiritual struggle, a progression toward a goal—heaven. The most crucial juncture, and the most important means, of this progression is marriage. It is not permissible for anyone to avoid the bonds of marriage, whether he concludes a mystical marriage by devoting himself to God, or whether he concludes a sacramental one with a spouse."
Venerable Nicetas the Confessor the Abbot of Medikion
You were a firm pillar and an undaunted guardian of sacred tradition, O Nicetas; you were adorned with holy dispassion and became an illustrious confessor of the Faith. Accept the prayers of those who cry to you, interceding for them with Christ our God.
Kontakion, Tone 2
You acquired a heavenly mind and life, shining as brightly as the sun in the splendor of your deeds! Father Nicetas, you enlighten those in the darkness of life guiding them all to God. Pray without ceasing for us all!

Politics is nothing more than understanding ambition and the conditions that produce it, and there is a surfeit of both as the Vermont Legislature begins its work.
It will be a session unlike any other. Legislators will be faced with a $150 million hole in the budget that needs to be plugged. It has an unemployment trust fund that is about to run bone dry. And it is dealing with a state economy that is anemic, at best.
The general conclusion is that we must learn how to do more with less, or, as the governor suggests, to do less with less.

The coincidence of having two of my three post-college-age daughters home over the holiday and it being the end of the first decade of the 21st century prompted this observation: While New York Times columnist and Pulitzer Prize winning economist Paul Krugman called the decade past "The Big Zero" for the economic stagnation that pervaded the Bush years, my daughters' view of the decade was one of excitement and optimism.
Consider their perspective.
The legislative session that began this week will be one of the most important in years. Key budget policy issues — for the state and for school districts — are on the agenda. Vermont Yankee's license expires in just over two years, and the Legislature must take positive action if the plant is to continue operating. Much of the session will be driven by the politics of the first open-seat gubernatorial campaign in eight years.
I fully intended on making ricotta and writing about it for last week's Table Talk.
As sometimes happens in life, though, not everything worked out according to plan. I invested in some good whole milk, heated it up, made mozzarella (which also didn't turn out so well, but I'm not going to go into that), then heated the whey to 200 degrees and strained it, or tried to. In the end, the coffee filter I used barely let the whey flow through, and after an hour it had drained off less than half a cup.

A/V furniture glossary
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
Entertainment furniture can provides a stylish home for your
A/V system, and be an important addition to a room's décor.
A/V cabinets
An audio/video (A/V) cabinet is built specifically to store A/V components, like DVD players, video game consoles and receivers. Most A/V cabinets feature some kind of ventilation to keep electronic components from overheating. A/V cabinets usually have some kind of wire management, and often access panels to facilitate the installation and setup of A/V gear.
[Shop our selection of A/V cabinets.]
Carpet spikes
Small, inverted cones that support a speaker stand. The spikes push through the carpet's pile to rest on the backing, providing a stable base for the speaker. The spike tips minimize the surface area that comes in contact with the floor so that fewer vibrations from the floor reach the speaker.
Small wheels set inside swiveling mounts. When you push the furniture, these mounts allow the wheels to align themselves in the direction of travel. This makes it easier to change the direction of the furniture as it's moved.
Cherry wood
This hardwood has a close, fairly uniform grain that makes it strong and sturdy, yet it's still soft enough to cut and machine easily.
Convection cooling
A way to remove excess heat from A/V components. Usually, the process requires two sets of ventilation ports. One set's located at the bottom of the cabinet, and the second at the top. As the components heat the air around them, the warmed air rises, eventually escaping through the top vents. Cooler air is pulled in through the bottom ports to replace it. As this air surrounds the components, it in turn is heated and rises. This keeps the cycle going, with fresh air continually flowing in to cool the components.
Dovetail joint
A traditional method of joining wood in cabinetry. One piece of wood has a series of trapezoidal pins that fit into corresponding openings (called "tails") in the other. Once glued, this interlocking pattern forms a very strong bond that's ideal for drawers and other areas where joints are stressed.
Extruded aluminum
Aluminum is a durable, lightweight metal. It can be strengthened by the process of extrusion, in which it's pushed through a die and comes out in long, shaped strips. For A/V furniture, extruded aluminum is most often used for cylindrical supports and legs, with some slight variations in shape.
Fluted door
Fluting is a method of wood decoration made popular in the Victorian era. Shallow grooves are cut in the molding surrounding the door that run the length of the frame. These grooves echo the look of ancient Grecian columns, which used a similar method of decoration.
Furniture-grade construction
Furniture-grade construction is a way of characterizing quality assembly methods. These methods are more time consuming and labor-intensive than standard assembly-line processes, but usually result in more durable furniture. Examples of furniture-grade construction include dovetail joints, real wood veneer (as opposed to vinyl printed with a wood pattern), and additional detailing, such as fluted doors.
Furniture-grade construction can also indirectly be an indicator of the quality of the material used. Many of the methods outlined above are impractical (and too costly) to use with particle board.
Hardwood is often used in quality furniture construction. Hardwoods typically have a dense grain, which gives them strength. And since they're heavy woods, the furniture tends to be very sturdy and stable.
Locking cam system
A small metal cylinder with a tab on the end that rotates. Many pieces of A/V furniture that require assembly use cams to join pieces together, usually to secure the frame. A locking cam system lets you secure the cam in the new position once the pieces are joined, ensuring that the tab doesn't work loose.
|Lowboys keep the TV at seated eye level, which is the ideal viewing height. (BDI Avion 8929 Series II shown)
A short cabinet with two sets of drawers or shelving. A/V lowboys are generally designed to keep a TV at seated eye level, which is the ideal height and viewing angle to prevent neck strain. The relatively compact size of a lowboy makes it a popular choice for smaller home theater systems.

Mahogany wood
Mahogany is a rich, dark, reddish-brown hardwood. Because of its scarcity and value, mahogany is generally only used as a veneer or for decorative accents.
MDF (medium-density fiberboard)
MDF is much denser than many woods and is a highly efficient vibration dampener. For this reason MDF is often used in high-end speaker cabinets, as well as quality A/V furniture construction. MDF is created by combining wood fibers with wax and resin. The resulting fiberboard is significantly stronger than particle board, and has a smooth, mostly uniform finish.
Particle board
Particle board, or chipboard, is a wood composite material. Wood chips, sawdust and wood shavings are mixed with resin. Particle board is inexpensive to make and is often used for low-grade audio/video furniture. Because particle board has no grain and isn't packed as densely as MDF, it's a relatively weak material that's easily damaged and difficult to repair.
Powder coating
A dry paint method that creates a durable skin over the surface it's applied to. Powder coating is primarily used with metal, such as extruded aluminum. Dry powder is bonded to the metal electrostatically and then heated. The powder melts, sealing the metal in a scratch-resistant coating.
Safety glass
Safety glass (sometimes called tempered glass) is designed to break into small, square pieces to prevent injury. Intense heat during manufacture gives the glass additional strength. This heating process also builds the internal stresses necessary to prevent the glass from shattering into long, sharp shards on impact.
Some A/V cabinets have speaker cloth in the top compartment so you can hide your center channel speaker inside. (BDI Novia pictured)
Speaker cloth
A fabric or other soft material that conceals a speaker's drivers. The cloth primarily serves a decorative function. It features an open weave to let sound through unhindered, while still keeping the speaker drivers hidden. Speaker cloth sometimes serves as door panel inserts to hide speakers inside an A/V cabinet.
Textured glass
Primarily used for decoration, textured glass features an altered surface that makes it partially or completely opaque. Frosted glass is a common form of textured glass.
Wire management
Wire management, sometimes called cable management, refers to the different ways A/V furniture can hide the cables running between stored components. Stands may have hollow tubes or indented channels for cables. Holes in panels and shallow lips on shelves can also help conceal the wires in and around a system.
Electronic components such as receivers, power amps, and preamps generate a significant amount of heat. If this heat builds up, it can negatively impact the performance of your A/V components. Some devices simply shut down if they overheat. Cabinet ventilation keeps air circulating through the enclosed space, pulling heat off the components to keep them cool.

The girls have arrived in Sheridan, WY. It was a fun trip here, as usual. Girl #2's granddaughter came with us so she could visit her other grandmother here in Wyoming. She is 11 years old and kept us entertained with questions and comments. Going through little towns she would say that she blinked and we were past it. Then giggle! Brings back memories of when my own kids were little.
Which brings to mind that genealogy is the game of memories. Those memories may be your own (which you should write down) or those of relatives. They unfold in stories, traditions and written accounts. In course of collecting those memories, we add form and structure to the ancestors that appear as names on charts.
It's early to bed and up early to get signed in for the Family History Expo. A big day ahead of us and what fun it will be! We'll chat with all of you tomorrow.

Here's What Other Learners from New York Are Saying:
"I'm 16 and I just passed the written exam and it was the easiest thing thanks to Driving-tests.org! I got a perfect score and was able to complete the exam in under five minutes. If you practice on their website or their app for at least a week prior to the test, you will get an 100. The questions here are very close to the ones on the test.

Anyway, you can't sue people for protesting in the US, though the report mentions banning protesting around funerals, which I think is a great idea.
Just, ahg.. I better stop here before I say some really inappropriate things and ramble on...
Are you seriously mad because of this? You should know better than that. I don't know what's worst, the interview or the fact that they even decided to "debate" a member of this so-called group on national television.
It has it moments.

I usually call my vet's office if I'm not sure. They're pretty good about asking for symptoms and then telling me to come right in, or wait until X happens.
This site lists some signs of when it's time to call the vet after a dog eats a bone and then seems miserable:
(I'm not recommending this guy's cotton ball remedy--I have no idea if that's a good idea. I have used the pumpkin approach to moving stuff through. When my Tiva got a dangerous blockage, she was vomiting blood. But the vet listed some other signs as well.)

The Senate today has hailed the resilience of Nigerians today on the occasion of her 55th Independence anniversary.
In a motion: Congratulations to Nigeria on her 55th Independence Anniversary as moved by the Deputy senate leader, the senate notes that on Thursday, 1st October, 2015, Nigeria will mark her 55th Independence Anniversary having attained Independence from Britain on October 1, 1960.
Appreciates that from May 29, 1999 till date, Nigeria at 55 has had the longest reign of democratic government in her political history;
Aware that while we may have had our challenges as a nation, we are moving forward as one nation indivisible in character and aspiration;
Acknowledges that we have a task to ensure that the labors of those who made this independence possible and those who work tirelessly to keep us united will not be in vain;
Agree that while we have come this far, our vision of the future must be kept bright with hard work and dedication;
Remember our heroes of independence and democracy, those whose blood and sweat got us this far and celebrate them even today; and
Charge ourselves to continue to demonstrate commitment to our unity and oneness as a nation of free citizens.
After the debate, the senate resolved to congratulate the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federation, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, the Government and people of Nigeria on the 55th Independence Anniversary of Nigeria while observing a minute silence in honor of Nigeria's past heroes and urged the Federal Government that the 55th Independence Anniversary Celebration should be low key in view of the tragedies in Saudi Arabia.
Earlier, the senate President announced that he had received a letter from the South-West caucus of the All Progressive Congress (APC) nominating Senator Olusola Adeyeye (Osun Central) as the Chief Whip of the senate.
The Senate President referred public petitions from Senator Mao Ohuabunwa and Senator Gil Nnaji to the public petitions committee.

Since the early days of the Church, the Lord's prophets have repeatedly warned against the bondage of debt. One of the great dangers of debt is the interest that accompanies it. When it is necessary to incur debt, such as a reasonable amount to purchase a modest home or to complete one's education, the debt should be repaid as quickly as possible.
True to the Faith, a Church publication, gives the following additional counsel regarding debt:
"Some forms of credit, such as credit cards, have particularly high interest rates. Once you are in debt, you find that interest has no mercy. It continues to accumulate, regardless of your situation—whether you are employed or jobless, healthy or sick. It never goes away until the debt is paid. Do not be deceived by credit offers, even if they make debt seem attractive by promising low interest rates or no interest for a certain period of time.
"Look to the condition of your finances. Discipline yourself in your purchases, avoiding debt to the extent you can. In most cases, you can avoid debt by managing your resources wisely. If you do incur debt, such as a reasonable amount in order to purchase a modest home or complete your education, work to repay it as quickly as possible and free yourself from bondage. When you have paid your debts and accumulated some savings, you will be prepared for financial storms that may come your way. You will have shelter for your family and peace in your heart" (True to the Faith, 2004, 48–49).

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO — Three women were punched and carjacked in a motel parking lot early Sunday by a man one of them met in a Hayward restaurant, police said.
The assailant assaulted each of the South San Francisco women as they exited a blue 2000 Audi A6 around 3:30 a.m. in the lot of a hotel on the 100 block of Mitchell Avenue. He grabbed the keys and then made off with the car while the women ran to a nearby restaurant for help, said South San Francisco police. No arrests have been made.
One of the women met the suspect at a Hayward restaurant and then made plans to meet up with him at a San Francisco night club, police said. Later, the suspect followed the women from the night club to Mitchell Avenue, where "they planned to share a hotel room," police said.
The assailant was a white man about 6 feet tall who looked like he weighed 150 pounds and appeared to be in his 20s, police said. His long dark hair was in a pony tail, he had dark eyes and wore a white-striped black dress shirt and blue jeans. He may have a Hayward-related tattoo on his chest or shoulder. The suspect told the women his name was Jason, but preferred to be called Jesus.
The stolen Audi had California license plate no. 6SNR390.
People with information on the crime can call South San Francisco police at 650-877-8900.

Does HIV Define You?
July 31, 2013
The relationship people have to their HIV status can be as unique as their fingerprint. While many continue to deal with feelings of stigma and internalized shame, some feel pride in their HIV-positive status and the courage they exhibit by living openly with HIV.
Adding further to that conversation is blogger "Living With HIV" from London, England. After a bout of Googling led to the surprise that "HIV defines me" yielded few results and "HIV doesn't define me" did the opposite, he decided to write a blog describing how, whether or not he cares to admit it, HIV does define him.
He writes:

New edition of eco.mont journal available
The new edition of eco.mont - Journal of protected mountain areas research is now available!
The journal is aimed at scientists, managers of protected areas and interested individuals on research and management issues related to protected areas in the Alps and other protected mountain areas. It is on its 10th anniversary and was founded as a joint initiative by the Alpine Network of Protected Areas (ALPARC), the International Scientific Committee on Research in the Alps (ISCAR), the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the University of Innsbruck.
eco.mont is published twice a year as a collaboration of the Austrian Academy of Sciences Press and Innsbruck University Press
The YOUrALPS infodays: call to action for political stakeholders
The YOUrALPS challenge continues. After the start of the pilot activities in September 2017 and further scientific investigation on framework conditions for the development of the Alpine School model, the next step implies the involvement of political stakeholders in the context of the so-called infodays.
With the start of the pilot site activities since September 2017, the bottom-up development of the Alpine School model has been launched: Pilot schools and associated protected areas are aiming at integrating non-formal learning approaches in the teaching of young people either in class or outdoors. In this context the practical experience of non-formal educators enriches the nature experience and will strengthen ties between youngsters and their natural environment.
At the same time a scientific analysis on the framework conditions in all the five Alpine partner countries has been carried out. At the heart of the theoretical approach remains the UNESCO concept of education for sustainable development and its interpretation by every partner country. In this way light is shed on innovative aspects for a multifaceted and interdependent approach to learning.
Hence, in spring 2018, the time will be ripe for presenting these insights to political stakeholders over the whole Alpine territory. Infodays on the project will be held in Austria, Germany, Italy, Slovenia and France, with the goal of mobilizing political influencers and decision takers for the aims of the YOUrALPS project. It is at the political level that willingness to cooperate has to be established and an agreement has to be found to integrate the idea of the Alpine School model into formal school curricula. It is an ambitious goal and there is still a long way to go, but the infodays will be the first step on that way, calling on political stakeholders to take notice and take action.
ALPARC is lead partner for YOUrALPS and responsible for technical and financial management and the coordination of project partners' activities. Moreover, the network is responsible for the project's communication activities.
YOUrALPS is an Interreg Alpine Space project and lasts from November 2016 to October 2019. It is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg Alpine Space programme.
For further information about the project, please visit the YOUrALPS website.

YOUrALPS Summer School – the starting shot for the development of the Alpine School Model
The YOUrALPS summer school carried the flag of empowering teachers and educators in order to start the test phase of pilot actions in the winter semester 2017/18. New pedagogical approaches, practical excursions and participatory activities provided inspiration and concrete instruments with regard to a first structure of an innovative school model – the Alpine School.
From August 28th to August 31st representatives from all project pilot sites met in Naklo, Slovenia to participate in the elaboration of a framework for the Alpine School model. In this way 45 participants from France, Italy, Slovenia, Austria and Germany spent four productive days together, actively engaging in discussions and fruitful exchanges concerning expectations, goals and respective approaches. In the course of the four days, the pilot sites were trained on the pedagogical approach of nature interpretation with the aim of giving young people the possibility to explore by themselves and foster individual learning. Moreover, the crucial importance of protected areas in backing mountain-oriented education was underlined, placing emphasis on several activities already in place, promoting the connection of the young generation to their living environment.
With the beginning of the winter semester 2017/18, pilot sites will start their actions for the first test phase until January 2018. Consequently, all activities will be evaluated according to specific Alpine School criteria and recommendations will be given in order to improve them for the second test phase during the summer semester 2018. The Alpine School model will be further developed and complemented by guidelines, toolkit and a certification charter such that at the end of 2019 it will ready for implementation.
The project YOUrALPS
The project YOUrALPS brings together 12 partners and 25 observers from 5 different Alpine regions and sectors. Alparc - Alpine Network for Protected Areas is lead partner and responsible for the work packages management and communication.
YOUrALPS is cofinanced by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) via the Interreg Alpine Space Programme. Hence, the requirements of the Alpine Space Programme are strictly applied.

GaYA project: promoting youth participation for the future of Alpine areas
Young people (14-25 years old) tend to leave peripheral Alpine regions due to the lack of personal and professional fulfilment, in particular regarding education and job opportunities as well as social integration. The majority of decision- and policy-makers lack awareness of the needs of young people as well as tools to better integrate them in urban and rural societies.
During the first period of the GaYA project (Governance and Youth in the Alps), ALPARC and the project consortium collected data on democratic and participatory processes across the Alps which particularly focus on youth. The aim is to highlight the best practices of youth participation in a comparative study, which is led by Eurac Research. The results will be officially presented at the international workshop "Democratic Participation in Political Decision-Making: The Involvement of Young Adults in the Alpine Region", to be held on June 29th 2017 (9.30 am -5.00pm) at Eurac Research in Bolzano (IT).
Regarding the pilot stage following this preliminary study, the pilot site selection process is about to conclude. Overall, the project will implement trainings and pilot actions in 12 pilot sites, i.e. cities, municipalities and regions, in order to spread and exchange knowledge and encourage participation by the younger generations in democratic processes. ALPARC is work package leader in the pilot stage (End 2017-2018).
GaYA runs from November 2016 to February 2019 and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg Alpine Space programme (Total budget: 1.092.748 € - 928.836€ ERDF grant).

YOUrALPS project – first steps to improve Mountain-Oriented Education in the Alps
It's a full-time job for the 12 project partners of the Interreg Alpine Space Project YOUrALPS – Educating youth for the Alps: (re)connecting Youth and Mountain heritage for an inspiring future in the Alps. (2016- 2019).
Since the official launch of the project, which took place during the Kick-off Meeting (January 2017 – Chambéry, France), each work package leader and project partner has been fully involved in structuring project activities to foster and strengthen the Alpine mountain-oriented education sector via concrete international cooperation.
On the one hand the project consortium is laying the foundation for structuring an international network of formal and non-formal education actors under the coordination of the French Network Educ'Alpes. A joint database and web-platform will be the central tool supporting exchanges between stakeholders. The first version of the web-platform will be available by the end of the year.
On the other hand the Innsbruck University Department of Geography is leading the research to gather innovative practices in Mountain-Oriented Education in order to provide an overview of the status quo of existing Mountain-Oriented Education practices in the Alpine countries. A first report of the "Good practices" has been concluded by the VNO and is available on the YOUrALPS website. In this frame, to identify success factors as well as challenges of "Mountain-Oriented Education", an Alpine-wide survey addressed to young people has been circulated. We invite all of you to invite young Alpine inhabitants to take part in the survey.
Moreover, 12 YOUrALPS' pilot sites from all the Alpine countries have been selected. The pilot sites, a tandem of a school with a protected area, will work jointly during the 2017- 2018 school year in order to provide young people with opportunities to develop their awareness of and sensitivity to the Alpine natural and cultural heritage.
The project consortium will meet in Ljubljana (12- 13 June 2017) for the Project Steering Group Meeting. A "Summer School" addressed to educators & teachers will take place in Slovenia from 28th to 31st August 2017 and will be hosted by the project partner BC Naclo High school.
ALPARC is project leader for YOUrALPS. The Network is responsible for technical and financial management and coordination of project partners' activities. ALPARC is also responsible for the project communication activities. YOUrALPS lasts from November 2016 to October 2019 and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg Alpine Space programme (Total budget: 2.001.017, 40 € - ERDF grant: 1.615.864, 77 EUR).

ALPBIONET2030: Integrative Alpine wildlife and habitat management for the next generation
Project Summary
Ecological connectivity is the basis of Alpine and global habitat and species protection. However, with the fact of different regions having different tools to measure and improve biodiversity, it becomes a main issue to realize an integrative concept for the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity within the Alps, a beautiful and unique European landscape rich in valuable habitats and structures, but endangered by over-exploitation and development. The overall objective is to consolidate and enhance transnational cooperation in the field of nature conservation while providing a harmonized concept of preserving natural habitats and common planning tools to realize a high level of ecological connectivity for biodiversity conservation.
ALPBIONET2030 aims to implement:
- A coherent and complementary Alps-wide system of Strategic Alpine Connectivity Areas (SACA), reflecting the valuable and potential areas for ecological connectivity, defined at large scale and implemented at the level of Ecological Connectivity Pilot Regions (in cooperation with the Alpine Convention)
- An integrated wildlife management for the Alps and an increased level of defragmentation in sectoral policies (hunting, forestry, agriculture, tourism, spatial development, etc.)
A new momentum comes in by the EUSALP, the new EU macro-metropolitan areas. The exchange between relevant Action Groups (in particular 6 & 7), will support a cross-cutting exchange between the Alpine convention and the EUSALP perimeter with their respective key players.
ALPBIONET2030 lasts from November 2016 to October 2019 and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund through the Interreg Alpine Space programme (Total budget: 2.637.285 € - ERDF grant: 2.241.639 €).
Project main outputs
- Multi-stakeholder cross-border concept for integrated wildlife management in the Alps
- Alps-wide integrative concept by mapping Alpine situation; integrating first Alps-wide wildlife strategy & recommendation for implementation. Basis for a common Alpine biodiversity conservation approach
- Identification of most important barriers around the Alps (of different categories) & Ecological Connectivity pathways between EUSALP perimeter & Alps. Recommendations for large scale implementation of Ecological Connectivity in EUSALP (AG 6 & 7)
- Alps-wide toolbox with concepts, documentation & technical recommendations for strengthening Ecological Connectivity by a user friendly interface Alpine GIS system (as a standard connectivity planning tool, based on JECAMI)
- Alpine conflict resolution strategy and coexistence toolbox
Project specific objectives
- Provide standardised cross-cutting institutional procedure for Alps-wide EC coordination and planning across all Alpine states (EUSALP perimeter)
- Create a new and enhanced understanding of spatial cooperation for Biodiversity and Ecological Connectivity among the Alpine countries with SACA and transnational wildlife strategy elaboration
- Define priorities and contribute to implementing existing planning criteria for Ecological Connectivity between the Alps and the EUSALP space

NOD32 Antivirus 6 is the latest edition of ESETs antivirus client.
The core of the program works much like any other. Install Antivirus 6 and it'll begin monitoring the files you access and the drives you connect to your PC, detecting and removing any threats before they can cause any harm.
This release also features improved anti-phishing protection, though, and will prevent your web browser from reaching known malicious websites or domains.
The program can now run full scans of your PC during idle time, to help make sure it's free of any threats. (This is turned off by default, but can be re-enabled at Advanced Settings > Computer > Antivirus and antispyware > Idle-state scanning.)
While previously you had to wait until you'd completely downloaded a file before NOD32 Antivirus would scan it, the program now checks them as they're downloading, a real time-saver.
And if you think a virus signature database or product module update is unstable or corrupt, then you can now roll them back to restore normal operations.
Build 6.0.316.0 brings these minor changes:
Fix: Resolved issue with activation in specific countries
Fix: Resolved issue with product icons in virtual machines
A capable and effective antivirus tool

Serviceable life is the period of time protective clothing and footwear, which has been properly cared for, can be expected to provide reasonable limited protection.
The serviceable life of personal protective equipment is dependent upon the amount and severity of field use and exposure the equipment has experienced. Contributing factors include the durability of the material components selected, storage conditions and the frequency and extent of cleaning and maintenance. Failure to properly care for this equipment will lead to a shortening of the service life.
As all of the factors determining service life can vary from one user to another, it is difficult to provide definitive serviceable life schedules. However, the following may be used as general guidelines for average serviceable life based on experience, understanding that some gear may last longer and some not as long.
