I thought I'd recreate the tutorial from the old site on making trees in T gauge.
The raw materials:
Starting bottom left...
Rubberised horsehair sheet - used in the restoration of old furniture. Find a self-employed restorer and ask him/her nicely for some offcuts of matting. If you're lucky you'll get some for free...and possibly an interesting conversation if you take along a T gauge loco! Alternatively, pay a fortune for a 6in square from a model railway shop!
A selection of scenery flock in suitable colours.
Diluted white glue - the usual formula with a drop of washing up liquid to break suface tension. You'll need some neat glue as well!
(optional...but useful) A syringe - to apply the glue. Mine was from a printer ink refill kit (its too big for using on myself...just in case you might be thinking!! )
Cocktail sticks or toothpicks, etc.
Not in the picture.....brown paint for painting the trunks the appropriate colour.


text: I've got a book that teaches how to program for Windows 2000 but currently I'm using Windows XP to learn programming. In the "PIDL functions" section of the book under "Shell functions", it's got some code examples that uses Shell functions like SHGetMalloc(), SHGetFolderLocation(). I get errors when compiling thoes codes saying that it doesn't recognize above functions. Is this because I'm using XP so I have to change the code to suit XP?

The author delves deep into the children's understanding of government or sarkar, how they perceive its structures from their own course material? It presents rich conversations of children which highlights the problems associated with the civics textbooks. While evaluating its objectives and contents it helps come up with a more realistic and non-'textbookish' way of conceptualizing an alternative curriculum for civics textbooks.

Yoko Ono just amounced the recipients of the Courage Awards in the Arts.
Here are short summaries of the recipients:
Nabeel Abboud Ashkar is a Palestinian violinist in Israel's Divan Orchestra, a teacher and the director of Polyphony. Polyphony is a programme designed for teaching young Arab Israelies to play high quality music.
After finishing university in Germany, he moved home to Nazareth and founded the Barenboim-Said Conservatory . He had a vision to provide the highest professional musical training for young Arab kids in Israel, where the Arab minority make up 20% of the population. He explains that even among 1.5 million citizens, there had never really been any opportunities to start proper music schools in the region. He wanted to find the most talented students around Nazareth and provide them with the best teachers and education possible. He realised he would have to bring teachers from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, however these cities are some distance from Nazareth. As soon as he called several musicians in Tel Aviv and told them about it, he recalls that "it took them 2 seconds to say yes." This is how he ended up bringing the best young Israeli Jewish musicians to Nazareth to teach Palestinian kids.
"Polyphony is about creating equal opportunities for Arab and Jewish students in Israel, to compensate for the lack of opportunities for the Arab community. But at the same time, Polyphony is about a strong commitment to use these educational opportunities as a shared interest among the young people. To use that to start a dialogue, a discussion, to start asking questions. It's a very long process. I don't think that you bring Arab kids and Jewish kids together for two days and that they're going to discover "world peace." It is a long process—ten years, maybe fifteen years—to get people to get people really thinking. But we start. A long journey starts with one step. And we are taking that step."
Martha Wilson founder of Franklin Furnace (www.franklinfurnace.org). It is an archive for artist books and variable media and was one of the biggest collections of artist books in the United States. The organisation advocates and supports under valued and little recognised artists books which are often overlooked by large art institutions. The majority of the collection has now been acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
Franklin Furnace held performances, exhibits and installations in Lower Manhattan and later in the Financial District of New York in the 1970s-1990s. It's currently housed in the Cultural District of Brooklyn.
Through Franklin Furnace, Martha Wilson has nurtured the artists Willie Cole, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger and Ida Applebroog and many others. She has also introduced Eric Bogosian, Karen Finley, Annie Sprinkle and Paul Zaloom to the performance art scene in New York City .
Kate Millett is a feminist author, artist and sculptor. She was the first American woman to be awarded a first class honours degree from St Hilda's College Oxford. Her books include Flying (1974) and Sita (1977). In her book Going to Iran Millett describes her t Iran in 1979, where she aimed to campaign for women's rights and unsurprisingly she was soon deported as a result. She describes her experience, of being incarcerated in psychiatric facilities in The Loony-Bin Trip (1990). It also addresses her being diagnosed as "bipolar", and her decision to discontinue her medication. She won her own sanity trial in St. Paul and together with her lawyer she changed the State of Minnesota's law regarding the commitment of psychiatric patients.
Sabine Breitwieser is the chief curator of Media and Performance Art at New York's MOMA (Museum of Modern Art). An Austrian, Sabine has a doctorate in law and previously curated the Generali Foundation, a contemporary art museum in Vienna. Her colleague, Jenny Schlenzka, from Berlin, is assistant curator for performance at the MOMA.
Bringing the "Combatant Status Review Tribunals" a reading performance of unedited transcripts of Guantanamo detainees to the MOMA is presumably why Yoko Ono chose Sabine Breitwieser and her colleague Jenny Schlenzka for the Courage in Arts award. Yoko says "I understand the courage it takes to stage exhibitions by artists who question the lawfulness of acts by the government in a cautious art institution."
Other installations currently on display include the recently aquired video installation, "9 Scripts from a Nation at War" dealing with the 2003 US invasion of Iraq.
In order to stage these politically sensitive installations, Breitwieser and Schlenzka were able to persuade the politically conservative trustees of the MOMA of the importance of this work.
Carolee Schneemann is an American visual artist. Her work focuses on discourses on the body, sexuality and gender. Her work is primarily characterized by research into visual traditions, taboos, and the body of the individual in relationship to social bodies. She expresses herself mainly through film, writing and paintings.
Schneemann has taught at several universities including the Rutgers University, where she was the first female art professor hired. Additionally, she has published widely, producing works such as Cézanne, She Was a Great Painter (1976) and More than Meat Joy: Performance Works and Selected Writings (1997).

TORONTO - A perfect season for the McMaster Marauders has propelled Stefan Ptaszek to the top of the Canadian university football coaching ranks.
Ptaszek was named CIS coach of the year Wednesday night at the All-Canadian Awards Banquet.
"There's so many people that I respect, and so many programs that I look up to, that have been acknowledged this way, to be acknowledged is humbling and flattering and overwhelming," said Ptaszek. "We got a big game on Friday (the Vanier Cup against the Laval Rouge et Or) so we'll enjoy it for about five seconds here and once the season's done we'll soak it in."
He joins Greg Marshall (2000) and Bernie Custis (1982) as the only McMaster head coaches to win the Frank Tindall Trophy.
Acadia's Jeff Cummins, Laval's Glen Constantin and Calgary's Blake Nill were the other finalists in 2012.
The other individual award handed out Wednesday saw Zach Androschuk of the Guelph Gryphons receive the Russ Jackson Award recognizing excellence in football, academics and citizenship. The CIS also announced its first- and second-team all-stars.
More CIS hardware will be handed out Thursday night at the Gibson's Finest CFL Player Awards, including the Hec Crighton Trophy (outstanding player of the year), Presidents' Trophy (defensive MVP), J.P. Metras Trophy (outstanding lineman) and Peter Gorman Trophy (rookie of the year).
In his seventh campaign with the Marauders, the 41-year-old Ptaszek guided his team to the program's first 8-0 regular season since 2003.
The Marauders are on a CIS record 21-game winning streak heading into Friday's Vanier Cup against the Laval Rouge et Or. McMaster beat Laval 41-38 in last year's final for the program's first national title.
"All my seniors, not even being a little bit complacent after winning in 2011, is why the 2012 season has gone so well," said Ptaszek. "They have been grounded and pushed. They say 'complacency is the disease of the successful' and I was ready to yell at them at any opportunity and I didn't have to say a word.
"They're a driven and motivated group."
Jeff Giles, McMaster's director of athletics and recreation, gave credit to Pstaszek for the Marauders' ongoing success.
"There is no doubt that the heart and soul of McMaster Marauder football is Stefan Ptaszek," said Giles. "His energy, passion, and most importantly his commitment to the success of each and every student-athlete have securely positioned this program among the elite in this country.
"For Stefan to be recognized as the CIS coach of the year is a tremendous accomplishment and a true honour that everyone at McMaster is very proud of."
The Marauders resumed their domination of conference play in 2012, leading the OUA in six of eight major statistical categories, including points scored (45.6 per game), total yards (582.5), passing offence (370.0), fewest points against (15.6), fewest total yards allowed (340.2) and best rush defence (104.6).
Ptaszek, who has led the Marauders to the post-season in each of his seven seasons, heads into Friday's game with a 51-19 (.729) overall record since taking over the program, including a 42-14 (.750) mark in league play and 9-5 (.643) in the playoffs.
A native of Burlington, Ont., Ptaszek was a star receiver at Wilfrid Laurier from 1990 to 1994, where he was a three-time all-Canadian and earned his first of three Vanier Cup rings in 1991.
Following a four-year CFL career with B.C., Hamilton and Toronto, Ptaszek started his coaching career at the high school level before returning to the CIS as UBC's special teams co-ordinator. He then joined Wilfrid Laurier and helped guide the Golden Hawks to the 2005 Vanier Cup title in his third and final season as offensive co-ordinator.
Androschuk is the first member of the Gryphons to receive the Russ Jackson Award since its inception in 1986.
The six-foot-one, 195-pound defensive back is a two-year captain of the special teams unit and a four-year starter. In his fifth and final season, Androschuk ranked sixth on the team with 30.5 tackles in eight league games and also had one interception and a fumble recovery as the Gryphons took second place in the OUA with a program-best 7-1 record.
In the classroom, the Sarnia, Ont., native has been named to the Dean's Honour Roll and has achieved Academic All-Canadian status each of his first four years on the Guelph campus.
In 2011, he held an 84.6 per cent academic average while majoring in biomedical sciences and won the President's Award for excellence in the classroom and on the field.
Androschuk, who graduated with distinction in April 2012 and is currently completing a minor in neuroscience, has already been accepted to Western's medical school.
His life was forever changed six years ago when one of his closest friends was injured and became a quadriplegic after the two were wrestling. The pair have remained close while working together on an organization called "It Happens."
Androschuk has also been instrumental in organizing the first "Guelph Wheels in Action," a spinal cord injury fundraiser at the university and has given his time to a number of other worth causes.
"Zach has a commitment to excellence both on the field and in the classroom that embodies the spirit and dedication of a student-athlete destined for great things," Guelph head coach Stu Lang said. "He has shown tremendous leadership skills as well as an incredible maturity and self-awareness in recognizing the impact he can have not only as an athlete and teammate but also as an ambassador and champion within the community."
The other nominees were Saint Mary's offensive lineman Matt Albright, Bishop's receiver David Haddrall and Regina offensive lineman Brett Jones.

Gov. Jerry Brown took a two-day swing through Southern California. At appearances Friday in Riverside, he repeated the same themes he has in Sacramento -- we need to have a vote on temporary tax extensions, or we'll face a devastating all-cuts budget -- and talked in more detail about his strategy.
He suggested to reporters that he might have the legislature adopt a budget first that accounted for the temporary taxes -- then go to voters to decide what they want. Previously, he had been pushing for a public vote -- but the budget and election calendar no longer have time for that.
That's unsurprising. What did surprise was the harsh reception he got from the top Republican in the state senate, Bob Dutton, who represents Riverside. Dutton declined an invitation to appear with Brown, but then swiped at him for "scaring" people with his talk about devastating cuts. Reality check: this is a scary moment, and big cuts are scary, particularly when you're a teacher or a college student and know that more than half the state budget is tied up in education.
Local news from across Southern California
But the most dispiriting and surprising part of Brown's reception had to do with the governor's proposal to eliminate redevelopment agencies (and replace them by giving local voters enhanced power to raise taxes for redevelopment). Brown is getting hammered for not doing enough to balance the budget. But Dutton, in a letter to Brown, blasted the governor's plan on redevelopment (and to eliminate enterprise zones, which have no documented record of creating jobs in California) even though they would save billions -- and even though Dutton has not offered specific cuts that would cover that.
And on the ground in Riverside, there was a similar blast at Brown --signs on local buildings that read "Another project brought to you by redevelopment." The problem, of course, is that the money for such projects comes at the expense of the state budget and schools -- which is why Brown was visiting a nearby classroom with 35 kids.
Brown was scheduled to make a brief appearance Saturday afternoon in Los Alamitos.

Opted to run from my house today, rather than the school. Primary reason for that was simply because I got a late start this morning and to save time I opted not to pack my running stuff. Much prefer to run from work as when I get home I typically feel lethargic and just want to lay down and veg, but I resisted that temptation by immediately changing and getting out the door without thinking about it.
Run went pretty well. Felt pretty sluggish for the first half but warmed up for the second half and felt more energetic. Another damp, cloudy day. This spring is a far cry from last year, which was hot and dry.
Been thinking about my 50-miler at Pineland Farms for this weekend. It's just really tough to gauge where I'm at, given that I'm riding off my Boston training cycle and for the past six weeks I've focused on recovering and then maintaining fitness for a few weeks and then tapering back down. It's been kind of a running purgatory of sorts and as a result, I can't assess where I'm at exactly.
And... I really don't think breaking eight hours will be in the cards. That'd mean running at about 9:30/mile pace average, and not to be negative, but I just don't see that happening for 50-miles for me. I'd like to try though. May do the first 12-13 miles at that pace and then reevaluate and slow down to ensure a finish if needed. I should still PR though (8:33:41), and I'd consider finishing slower than that a failure. So... I guess that's my real goal.
Ran 4.5 miles @ 8:35/mile pace.
Trails and paved roads.
Very hilly.
Around 50 degrees, overcast, foggy.

text: Youth Partner Spotlight | West Side Soccer League Tweet © The New York Red Bulls boast one of the strongest youth programs not just in MLS, but across the country. In addition to finding and developing local players that keep the academy teams near the top of the national rankings, the Red Bulls have demonstrated their commitment to the future of youth soccer in New York and New Jersey. The organization maintains partnerships with over 100 youth soccer programs, providing camps, clinics and in-house training from certified and professional Red Bull youth coaches. Each month, NewYorkRedBulls.com and RedBullsAcademy.com will feature one of these partners in our Red Bulls Youth Partner Program Spotlight. West Side Soccer League The West Side Soccer League (WSSL) provides New York City children with the opportunity to learn and play soccer to develop character, teamwork and a passion for the game. The WSSL currently serves more than 4,000 players – boys and girls – from ages 5-18 on recreational and competitive teams. Since 1987, the league has served Manhattan (Upper West, Upper East, Harlem and Midtown) and the Bronx. The WSSL also includes a vibrant special needs program. Every fall, the league integrates its mainstream teams into its special needs program where the community comes together to learn about one another and the game of soccer. The Red Bulls have been involved as coaches and mentors for the program. "The New York Red Bulls have been true partners in the lives of New York's City's soccer players and their families," WSSL commissioner Dana DiPrima said. "The Red Bulls trainers are passionate, dedicated and focused on player development and together we have elevated the level of play for all teams and individual players." The New York Red Bulls and WSSL have been partners since 2011, and the relationship has strengthened over the years. WSSL is the Red Bulls' largest training programs partner and the club's exclusive Manhattan based partner. The focus is development of youth soccer players both as skilled players and as team members. This includes ongoing training of youth coaches and the inspiration of young people to love the game of soccer by playing it and watching it at a professional level. "West Side Soccer League strongly believes in the Training Programs player development philosophies and methodologies," said Steve Jones, Red Bulls Training Programs Regional manager for Manhattan and North New Jersey. "As a result of their continued commitment to serving the Manhattan communities, the club has grown not only in size but also stature within the youth soccer leagues they play in. West Side Soccer League is a shining example of how the implementation of the Red Bull approach to player development can develop players as well as well-rounded individuals" The curriculum implemented for WSSL's most competitive teams is unparalleled in the New York area. Every year, the WSSL unites youth soccer leagues across the New York area with the annual Thanksgiving Invitational Tournament in November. Thanks to this partnership, the league's teams and individual players are developing their skills, and moving up the standings. The partnership has been a centerpiece for the WSSL's most competitive teams for the past three years, but the excellence and excitement has spilled into all levels of the organization's programs to raise the level of parent coaching, team play and individual skills.

at meal times I put a well balanced meal in front of meal boys 2 & 4. we all eat the same thing. if they do not eat there dinner they dont get any thing else healthy or not and no fruit after. if they live just a bit of one thing eg. my 4 year old wont eat tomatoes and that is all he leaves then he can have a piece of fruit. I believe if they are hungry they will eat what ever is put in front of them. I am not willing to make seperate meals. My 2 year old is fussy but is improving and will eat most things I put in front of him now.
I agree, Tamara...I'm not becoming a short-order chef. My guy is only 19 months old so he doesn't understand the "if you don't eat your dinner, you don't get dessert". We don't let him have a lot of sweets anyway, but all he wants to eat are the empty calorie foods...the crackers, dry cereal and what not. So I cut out those snacks and only offer cheese, yogurt, My mom suggested to finely grate up veggies in pasta too...but lately he's pushing away foods that I KNOW he likes, such as spaghetti. Hopefully it gets better before it gets worse!

Attorneys for former Qwest chief executive Joe Nacchio said in a filing Tuesday that their disagreement with government prosecutors over the scope of his resentencing is "minimal."
Meanwhile, the government states in its filing that the "main point of contention … appears to be whether the scope of resentencing is set by the court, or by the parties."
The government said it believes the court should decide the scope, while Nacchio believes the scope depends on what evidence the parties decide to present during the resentencing.
Nacchio's attorneys have argued that "the parties may introduce any evidence that could have been introduced at the first sentencing hearing," the government's filing states.
A federal appeals court in July ordered a new sentence for Nacchio, convicted in 2007 on 19 counts of insider trading. He began serving a six-year prison term in April.
Questions about the scope of the resentencing surfaced during a hearing last month. The resentencing won't occur until next year at the earliest.
In Tuesday's filing, Nacchio's attorney states that "the only dispute between the parties … is whether this court must determine whether Nacchio is entitled to a traditional 'departure' under the
guidelines on the two grounds he raised at the initial sentencing."

Dear AF,
Sometimes I lay awake at night thinking of you. Ever since you threatened to leave me and end our relationship I have worried that I might mess up again. I am nothing without you. My love for you burns hotter than the heat of a thousand suns. I have made many mistakes in life, and I swear that I will not make one now. I won't allow this relationship to be ruined by my stupid insecurities.
I love you AF, and I will do everything I can to make you happy in this life and the next. I love you, I love you.

Polyurea application on damaged fiber cement roof
In this case, we describe the retrieval of a fiber cement roof by applying a polyurea coating before the installation of a photovoltaic panel system. The fiber cement roof showed several damages and general lesions due to exposure to the elements for over 10 years with as consequence: cracks and water leakages inside the building.
The consolidation of the 800m2 roof was carried out by first cleaning the external surface with high pressure water, followed by the quick application of a 2mm layer of MPM Starflex HR-E polyurea coating. Where the roof was particularly damaged, a thicker layer of polyurea was applied.
Thanks to this application, the replacement of the damaged elements was avoided. A replacement of the damaged items would have required an expensive procedure and an alteration of the use of the building during the application process.
Another advantage obtained by applying a polyurethane reflective white paint was to achieve a considerable reduction (more than 5 °C) of the heat conduction.
From the pictures provided, it is possible to evaluate all the steps during the application process, up to the final installation of the photovoltaic panels over the regenerated external surface.
The application of pure polyurea over a damaged fiber cement roof solved not only the problem related to the disposal of the old plates, but also provided a perfect impermeability of the external surface as well as the reduction of heat conduction caused by the application of the white polyurethane paint.

Whilst I'm at a stall point with work on the Tamar Bridge part of The Bridges at Saltash, I've been starting some investigation work into building DCC and automated train control into the layout.
There has been a couple of threads mentioning the new miniature DCC controller from CT Elektroniks...the DCX65. Their website links to a YouTube video that shows a T gauge unit running nice and slowly:
I had looked at doing some experimentation a few months ago....but the gentleman on the trade stand who are listed as an importer of CT products was not at all helpful. The best I could gather was that I needed to spend in the order of £200 on hardware over and above the cost of the decoders. I was somewhat disappointed in the way I was treated once I mentioned T gauge!!
Putting this set back on one side, at the Loughborough show, I spoke to someone on the MERG stand who was more than helpful! MERG....the Model Electronics Railway Group....sell a range of kits to members that are of great interest. Having joined, I was able to browse through the excellent Wiki and other technical resources....and with access to their forum to supplement the information, I have hatched a plan to firstly get my test track DCC controlled.....but ultimately to get the Saltash layout fully DCC and computer controlled. Or at least that's the plan.
And that plan is to end up with using a laptop to control all the trains running in both directions over the Royal Albert Bridge...and on the branch line that runs under it. There will be the one point between the bridge and Saltash station, and what I call a "flexible traverser" controlled by servos from the laptop....and train sensors littered all over the place so that trains can be automatically run. I also plan to have an App on a spare iPhone I have that can be used to control trains and points using wifi.
As I'm diving into several different things here, I'm going to get things going in stages. The first stage will be to get a DMU DCC chipped and running on my test track under manual control via the laptop. The second stage will be to get servos under computer control.....then signals....and then get track sensors fitted and working. The fifth stage will be to get wifi control from a phone....and the final stage is to get trains running safely using automation to create scenarios, etc.
I've started getting phase one under way. I have placed an order for a couple of DCC decoders....and over the next few days will order some of the electronics kits needed from MERG.
And the cost......decoders will be around £35 each....and the basic electronics to get phase one up and running...approx. £45. I'll document things as I go....and welcome any comments, etc as I go.

Barnes relied on faith during trying time
SAN DIEGO -- Tuesday was another start -- in center field, batting leadoff against the Padres -- and one more day in a job Rockies outfielder Brandon Barnes never thought he'd land. He nearly walked away when he was oh-so close.
Barnes didn't make it to the Majors until his eighth pro season, 2012. He nearly left the game a year earlier.
"To be honest, in 2011, I was in Triple-A for the first time, struggled big time," said Barnes, who batted a .197 with 69 strikeouts in 71 games for Oklahoma City. "I sat up one night, 4 o'clock in the morning in Texas. I was frustrated. I almost quit. I wanted to be done.
"I actually called my pastor, and I told him, 'I think I'm done here.' And I called my wife. They both said the same thing: God put you here for a reason. Go out there, have fun, play until someone takes your jersey off your back. I took that with a grain of salt, then said, 'You know, that's right.'"
Barnes, of course, would pull it together in 2012 and earn a late-season promotion to the Astros, and he spent all of last season with the team. Traded to the Rockies last winter, Barnes made the team with a standout Spring Training by showing he could execute offensively and play all three defensive positions.
From a baseball perspective, Barnes figured himself out offensively.
"I've always been fine defensively," said Barnes, who entered Tuesday hitting .261. "It's been something that's come natural to me. But I started to figure things out -- how to hit the ball the other way, how to have a two-strike approach, to be able to manage at-bats."
But Barnes, 27, knew nothing he did with the bat was more important than what came out of those two phone calls.
"Being in the big leagues wasn't for me now," Barnes said. "It was to glorify God and do other things with the platform that we're given up here. Once I took that approach and stopped worrying about my stats and worrying about if I'm ever going to get to the big leagues, I went out and had fun, played for my faith, always played for the team and, lastly, played for me, things turned around. I just had fun. It was like being a 12-year-old in Little League again.
"If we all came to an agreement that there was something else I could be doing to glorify God in a better way or support my family in a better way, we would have made that decision at that time. But I think we came to an agreement that my life and my dream and what God wanted for me was to use this platform that we are given and share."

I'm the first one to bash T-Mobile, their customer service has in the past (and I was a customer for many years) sucked. However, I have to say I am very impressed to learn that T-Mobile maybe stepping up their game. Florida resident Celina Aarons got a cell phone bill from T-Mobile for over $200,000 USD. Her brother who shares the plan with her went to Canada. He didn't turn off his data roaming service… the result… a $200,000+ phone bill that was legit. WOW.
Celina could not wrap her head around how she was going to pay this bill. She called the T-Mobile customer service people to find out if there was anything they could do for her. Turns out… T-Mobile said you know what? We'll cut your bill down to $2,500 bucks and give you 6 months to pay. Now that is a classy thing to do T-Mobile. Good for you. Good for Celina. It's nice to know that there is a cell phone company out there that has a heart. If you are looking to get into a new contract you might want to check out what they have to offer… seems like they are stepping it up over there at T-Mobile 🙂

Circa 1987, having a food-based forename lent itself to some pretty
creative verbal roughhousing at school.
"Yeah? Well, why don't you make a stew, cook it in an oven, then
eat it in your den? With some art".
Or words to such effect. Even at the time it was amusing in it's absence of bite;
I just thanked my lucky stars that I wasn't Michael Pratt come morning break.
This week it's all about fish stew; complete with art (primitive chalk spoon),
briefly cooked in an oven and consumed in an impromptu residence under
the stairs. I lied about the stairs bit.
Serves 4
400g Skinless sustainable white fish (I used Coley)
400g Red skinned pototoes, cut into rough chunks
120g Chorizo, chopped into small pieces
1 Large red onion, sliced
1 Red chilli, chopped
1 Green chilli, chopped
2 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 Tomatoes, chopped
2tsp Smoked paprika
300ml Fish stock
1 Bay leaf
A few thyme sprigs, stalks removed
A small bunch of parsley, roughly chopped
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Briefly soften the garlic and chilli in a
pan on the hob before stirring in the chorizo; then add the onion, thyme and bay.
Sauté everything for 5-10 minutes on a medium heat. Tip in the potatoes,
sprinkle with paprika, then add the tomatoes and stock. Simmer for about
10 minutes until the liquid has reduced slightly, and the potatoes are nearly done.
Pour everything into an oven-proof dish, then carefully stir in the fish. Put the lid on
and pop into the oven for 10 minutes. Serve with a sprinkling of chopped parsley
and crusty bread.

Australia's most populous state has signed a long-term deal with the federal government to roll out the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), putting pressure on other states and the federal coalition to show their hands.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard and NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell announced in Canberra on Thursday that they had come to terms on the money to support disabled people, carers and their families, with more than $6 billion-a-year to be provided from 2018/19.
The federal government will contribute 51.4 per cent of the total cost of the NDIS in NSW from 2018/19 - or $3.319 billion - while NSW will put in $3.133 billion.
Ms Gillard said the almost 50/50 split represented a benchmark for deals with the other states.
"It shows to the other states and territories that it can be done, and I am determined that it will be done," she told reporters.
Mr Farrell said the deal would help about 120,000 people in NSW - more than one-quarter of the 410,000 people nationally expected to be serviced under the NDIS.
"This agreement today demonstrates this is above politics," he said.
The prime minister said funding the federal government's share would involve "hard choices" in the budget, but she again ruled out a national Medicare-style levy.
She declined to comment on talks with Victoria, ACT, Tasmania and South Australia, all of which have already pledged to host NDIS launch sites alongside NSW from mid-2013.
Queensland and Western Australia have made no commitments.
When fully operational, the NDIS is expected to cost around $15 billion-a-year.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott told a disability industry chiefs' forum on Monday he was a "passionate devotee" of the NDIS and a coalition government would bring about the scheme "as quickly as we reasonably can".
Coalition disabilities spokesman Mitch Fifield said on Thursday the prime minister had conceded Mr Abbott's point the commonwealth should provide the bulk of the extra funds needed for the NDIS. The NSW deal means Labor has committed almost $200 million than the state.
Senator Fifield also accused Labor of trying to politicise the NDIS, despite Mr O'Farrell's statement the NSW agreement was fair and bipartisan.
"The NDIS doesn't represent just Labor values or just Liberal values - the NDIS represents Australian values," Senator Fifield said.
Ms Gillard will discuss the NDIS, and other issues, with the state and territory leaders at the Council of Australian Governments meeting in Canberra on Friday.
She wants the leaders' support for a timetable for electricity market reform, which would include the rollout of smart meters and deregulated retail power prices to cut $250-a-year from power bills.
It's understood business lobby groups as well as energy chiefs, like Origin's Grant King and AGL Energy's Michael Fraser, argued strongly for the reforms at a COAG business advisory forum in Canberra on Thursday.
Queensland Premier Campbell Newman said he wanted to implement the scheme by its start date of 2018, but his state did not have the money now.
"We support the NDIS. We've been working behind the scenes on the NDIS with the commonwealth so we can actually implement it," Mr Newman told reporters in Canberra on Thursday.
"We've changed the law in Queensland to bring in some of the essential features of the NDIS, for example, self-directed funding.
"And I've said before that the moment we've completed the fiscal repair task ... we will put more money in and we will step up to the plate."

In Searching the Meaning of Chineseness in Greater ChinaCheung, Gordon C. K. (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Among the people in Greater China (People's Republic of China [PRC], Taiwan and Hong Kong), needless to say, economic incentive, political relations and business relations all conjure up an ethos of relations, if not close bonds, among Hong Kong, Taiwan and the PRC. The rise of China matters to everyone who lives in Greater China. Hong Kong is already part of China. Taiwan, according to the PRC, cannot be independent without running the risk of a war. Yet, my question is that are those Chinese the same in Greater China? Do they have different identities? If living with China is inevitable, do they need to search for a new identity to face the challenges? Keywords: Chineseness, Greater China, identity, national boundaries, Hong Kong, Taiwan URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7396

One of the most diverse and exciting cities in the Southern California, San Diego offers plenty of stunning locations for your engagement photography session.
For an urban-themed engagement photography session, visit one of San Diego's most renowned business and entertainment districts - the Gaslamp Quarter Historic District. At the gateway to this historic district sits the luxurious Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Hotel, whose neatly landscaped courtyard-plaza will provide a lovely location for your engagement photography session. Take a leisurely stroll along the walkways that dissect the plaza or relax on the lush green grass, as your photographer takes some candid photos. The courtyard's palm tree grove, combined with the surrounding urban cityscape, will create a unique backdrop for your engagement photos. You can then make your way down the Gaslamp Quarter's brick-paved sidewalks and explore the rest of the district. Popular photo ops include the famous Gaslamp sign on Fifth Avenue, Jessop's Clock on Horton Plaza, the Victorian-style Keating Building, and Croce's Restaurant & Jazz Bar, where you can stop for some refreshing cocktails and live music. After you've finished touring the Gaslamp Quarter, take a short walk over to Embarcadero Marina Park, only half a mile away. The park takes the form of two miniature islands that embrace the San Diego Marina. Here, your photographer can capture you and your fiancee frolicking in the grass as you soak in the San Diego sun, or have you both pose beneath the giant shade trees surrounding the park. From the South Embarcadero Park Pier, your photographer can create gorgeous engagement photos with the sparkling waters of the marina serving as a backdrop. The pier also offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the San Diego skyline!
One of San Diego's most famous historic landmarks, the stunning Victorian-style Hotel del Coronado sits just across the San Diego Bay from the mainland city. There is so much to explore at this luxury beachfront hotel that you won't be able to help but come back for seconds! Have your engagement photographer take photos of you and your fiancee posing on the front lawn at the entrance of the main building, surrounded by majestic palm trees and other tropical plant life. Upon entering the hotel, you'll find yourself inside the elegant front lobby, where you and your loved one can pose beneath the glimmering hanging chandelier or looking down from the second-story balcony. Also visit the hotel's secluded Japanese Tea Garden, where your photographer can arrange some intimate photos of you and your fiancee as you stand atop the garden's miniature bridge, kick back on one of the cozy benches, or simply peruse the garden. Finally, take the trail that leads from the hotel all the way down to the beach and have fun splashing around in the warm San Diego water or simply relaxing on the sand. You'll have an unforgettable time during your engagement photo shoot at this world-class beachfront hotel!
On your drive back to the mainland city, make sure to stop at various places along the Coronado Bay Bridge for some beautiful photo ops. To the east you will have the stunning cityscape of mainland San Diego and, westward, a view of the crimson Hotel del Coronado and the city of Coronado. On either side of the bridge, the San Diego Bay will provide a picturesque backdrop for your engagement photos, particularly in the late afternoon hours. You and your fiancee will be blown away by this truly romantic setting off the coast of Southern California!
You don't want to pass up the Cabrillo National Monument, a San Diego treasure that will provide a one-of-a-kind seaside setting for your engagement photography session. The monument is located on the Point Loma Peninsula, which separates the Pacific Ocean from the San Diego Bay and is home to some of San Diego's most famous historic landmarks. The Old Point Loma Lighthouse is located cliff-side, at the highest point of the Cabrillo National Monument, and is often used as a symbol for the city of San Diego, itself. Your engagement photographer can use this historic landmark as a backdrop for a private portrait of you and your fiancee. Only a short distance away you'll find the Cabrillo Statue, surrounded by a paved, red brick circle. From this vista point, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the San Diego Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. Also visible are the San Diego skyline, Coronado Island, and the Naval Air Station North Island. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, take a short drive over to Sunset Cliffs Park, also located on the peninsula just a few miles north of the Cabrillo National Monument. The park's unique cliffs, combined with crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean, will make your engagement photo shoot on the Point Loma Peninsula complete!

Satire, Fake News and Bias
A recent piece of satire from The Out And Abouter is called Concerned, But Not Wanting To Offend, Canada Quietly Plants Privacy Hedge Along Entire U.S. Border.
And we're happy to pay for it," say a united front of Canadian premiers, national leaders, mayors, citizens, and casual acquaintances, of the newly planted hedge that has sprung up seemingly overnight, running unbroken for 6,416 kilometers, along the world's longest undefended border.
– The Out and Abouter, January 2017 –
Snopes, the fact checking site, has clarified that the story is False but points out that the Author of the site clearly states that he/she writes Satirical Commentary.
The Message from the Queen – Revoking American Independence was satire too, though the name of the original author remains elusive.
…the aim of satire shouldn't be about fooling people; it should be about making them laugh. "We're always looking at our headlines and thinking, 'Could someone actually believe this?'" he says. "And if it does [seem believable], then we haven't done our job properly."
– Rhodri Marsden, Independent, July 2015 –
Worldnewsdailyreport.com is a bit different duck, in that it looks like a real news site. You have to read their entire disclaimer (on a separate page) to discover the fictional nature of the content. The headline "Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is getting prepared to accommodate nearly 250,000 American refugees if Donald Trump is to be elected US president in November" is entirely fictional.
(The 'immigration truth' is – Canada accepted the most Americans during the Vietnam war (it is estimated that more than 400,000 Americans took up Canadian residency between 1968 and 1978).
CNBC, in a round-up of Fake News Stories in 2016, pointed to these untrue headlines: "Pope Francis Endorses Donald Trump for President" and "Ireland is now officially accepting Trump refugees from America". Politifact determined that this story was false: "Thousands of people at a Donald Trump rally in Manhattan chanted, "We hate Muslims, we hate blacks, we want our great country back."
Of course, Donald Trump himself was the source of many falsehoods, most of which he repeatedly refused to be embarrassed about. He knew that his most ardent supporters would accept him, and understand him – in the same way they would support a friend who sometimes says things without having facts to back up what they are saying. (Politifact and other fact checking sites have lists of falsehoods made by Barack Obama, Donald Trump and other politicians.)
Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, has undoubtedly uttered a few falsehoods too, though it is hard to classify what his sweet-sounding praise of Fidel Castro was, or how his government tripled the projected deficit once in power…
But if we've come to expect and even joke about office-seekers who seem truth averse ("How do you know a politician is lying? His lips are moving"), many of us have given little thought to our own fibs and to how they compare with politicians' deceits. What if PolitiFact looked at what we say to our spouses, friends and bosses?
– New York Post, April 2016 –
Here in Canada, Federal politicians are investigating 'false news' as part of a broader study by the Federal Heritage Committee into the impact of digital technology on journalism. While various sections of Canada's CRTC regulations prohibit the broadcasting of "false or misleading news" by radio and television licensees, it obviously can't control or regulate news that is broadcast from the USA or is delivered through the internet.
So if you spot someone sharing something that you know is outlandish, strike a blow for truth and let them know. But be nice about it. After all, we've all had our moments of gullibility, and we certainly haven't had our last.
– Rhodri Marsden, Independent, July 2015 –
How do we, as citizens of our respective countries, respond to this web of falsehoods? Some people speak or write mean, spiteful, horrid things about President Trump, his family, and other politicians. Does that achieve anything? If you have ridiculed, shamed, hated, scorned, or belittled someone, does that make you a better person than they are?
But every time someone quips like Donald Trump does…they reveal a streak of that same character in themselves. You tumble closer to the bottom of the pit where Trump resides. And by signaling your comfort in saying it, you give tacit permission to others to do the same. Quickly, we all find ourselves lower than before.
– Nate Hopper, Time, October 2016 –
There are many ways to express your opinions without being abusive. First, though, you should make sure your opinions are NOT based on, or propped up by Fake News.
How do you fact check? Do you know which news outlets are satirical, which ones are make up fake stories, which ones have strong bias either left or right?
20 thoughts on "Satire, Fake News and Bias"
That first headline was marvelous! And thank you for the Media Bias link, that is quite helpful.
One thing that concerns me about accusations back and forth, with no regard to fact-checking before reposting, is that it takes our focus away from real events worthy of our attention. And I'm not talking about Trump tweets either. They need less focus, not more!
You are right – there are many real events worthy of attention. There are also so many good things happening in both our countries, but they sure don't make the news. We live in a culture where fear is the driver – and while that is one way to herd people, it doesn't create a culture that is sustainable.
It's a qualified like, I gave. I retain the right to say things about people when said people show a singular lack of concern for others. Some of the things I will say will be derisive (most) and some people might see them as mean.
"If you have ridiculed, shamed, hated, scorned, or belittled someone, does that make you a better person than they are?"
Luckily I'm too old to care about what people think. Besides, I'm not trying to be a better person than they are. I want them to be better persons than they are.
Appealing to reason, honor, honesty, and integrity has shown itself as useless. Now, I'm just going to have fun with it.
So you subscribe to the 'if you can't beat them, join them' philosophy. Makes me think, for some reason, of the George Bernard Shaw quip: "Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it."
There is an updated quip that is more appropriate: "Arguing with an engineer is a lot like wrestling a pig in mud. After a few hours, you realize the pig likes it."
Yes, an engineer be I.
Seriously, when I speak of insulting, ridiculing, and belittling I refer more to someone's ideas and beliefs and not making fun of their physical appearance. Not Trump, be I.
On that, I'll stand my ground. We must challenge ideas and views counter to the advancement of society and short of raising a fist to someone's face, the battle is actually fought for the minds of people who may not be wholly invested in the issues. In that, I think there is no better approach than employing humor and pointing out the smallness of ugly and harmful notions. Mock we must when reason fails.
Think of Mark Twain — not that I compare myself to him — or think of scores of comedians that through quite outlandish and often "offensive" humor are, nonetheless, forcing people to think.
"All in the Family" was a show that did that well; it showed a mirror in front of a generation entrenched in their beliefs and made them pay attention by basically insulting and ridiculing said beliefs (something that, apparently, is not 'politically correct' these days).
Mocking is a legitimate form of resistance, and it sure beats taking up signs which are then used to beat people carrying different signs.
In the long run, minds are what we need to win over. But, yes . . . I'll also mock people resistant to evidence, resistance to self-examination, and always, always mock people seeking to govern from ideology as opposed to facts.
Fake news has been around since the very first newspaper paraphrased what a witness told them. If it isn't reported verbatim, it's got an element of subjectivity to it. That's assuming the witness didn't embellish in the first place just for the attention. It's a short trip to fake news from there. Having said that, it used to be that news agencies would at least give the impression they had done their fact-checking homework. That no longer seems to be a constraint for them.
You are right – truth is a moving target! This is what makes biased reporting so interesting. Usually there is relatively truthful information readily available, but a strong left or right bias will pick only the facts that support their bias, and discard the facts that don't fit. They start with an opinion, and pick the facts that fit.
I do hope that there will be a few less dense parts of the hedge so I can make my way through to your side if (when) it gets too crazy down here. 🙂
My siblings and I were raised with the mantra, "bring others UP to your standards….don't LOWER yourself to theirs." My dad also asked us (often) "If everyone else jumped off a cliff does that mean you should?"
To be honest I do find myself responding sarcastically, at times, to news reports. I guess I need to work harder on those things dad tried to teach me.
Somewhere along the way I also learned that discussions about religion and politics should be avoided in some circles!
I think we all have a right to express our opinions, but I think it is counter productive to try to demean the person who thinks differently than we do. When a journalist calls a candidate an 'ugly' 'weird hair' 'racist buffoon' – I don't trust anything else that writer has to say.
You are so right. Express opinions with tact and dignity. Personal attacks do nothing but tick people off.
Hey Margy
I like the new spelling of your name. It helps distinguish you from the many other like-named folks.
I'm wondering about 2 of your newer blogs. On my rss links page I'm getting a message; "Unknown Feed, An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later."
Let me know if it's a technical issue or if you shut them down.
Wishing you a warm week of sunshine.
I didn't put enough thought into how to spell my blogger name – even though it was my childhood name. I guess that became the point of changing the spelling – feels more like a grandma name now…
As for the links – the links on the menu near the top of the page are the right links. I did some switching around and abandoned the links you must have. Sorry about that. I think I'm all set now for another 7 years of blogging!
Hope you have a warm week too! We've had some fairly cool weather here in AZ – got down below freezing 3 nights in a row. Daytime temps were hardly warmer than what our family was experiencing back in Alberta!
Very interesting. Just yesterday I replied to a friend on Facebook who shared a post about a situation with native Americans protesting the building of an oil pipeline. It was accompanied by a picture of teepees burning and his 2-cents addition was "this is something our government doesn't want you to see." I clicked through to the blog (it wasn't a "news" item) and that same picture wasn't there. On the very bottom, in fine print, they said they had taken down the picture because it was from a movie. Too many people didn't read through the entire piece, they complained, so they would know it was merely "illustrative" of how terrible our guvmt is, and that the author had not claimed it was an actual picture of something the guvmnt had done. Imagine readers being so stupid.
I gently suggested to my friend the govt wouldn't mind us seeing this. In fact, all we had to do was rent the movie on Netflix. I cut and pasted the disclaimer from the blog. I was nervous about doing it, frankly – usually I keep my mouth shut because people are simply RABID. But the guy had the grace to say "thank you for pointing this out." Some of his other friends, however, basically said "who cares? the other side makes stuff up, and the guvmt is still evil."
I know how you feel, and I agree that we should all speak up and point out this kind of 'misinformation'… except it never seems to end. I can almost predict which of my Facebook friends are going to post something that is either extremely biased, or is just a pack of lies.
As for the oil industry, my province is Alberta, home of the hated Oil Sands. I don't know why people can't comprehend that the oil is still going to flow for some time, and a pipeline is far preferable to rail cars.
I'd be very happy if all my Facebook friends went back to Farmville requests and photos of funny cats…
The link you posted looks extremely helpful. I'm interested in the work Canada is doing to combat "fake news." I have recently started a similar blog for a class I am taking. The blog is about helping to detect bias in news articles. Could you take a look at my post outlining some of the things viewers should look for and let me know what you think? Feel free to offer any suggestions, I am still working out the kinks and doing some research. Thank you! https://mirroredmedia.wordpress.com/2017/03/08/think-critically/
What an interesting concept for a blog! It is good to see a move towards open discussion of bias and fake news. Of course, in a world of instant, unverified journalism, the challenge is how to make the real story as popular as the 'fake' one.
I posted the link you mentioned in a comment on your post.
I am late to your party, but I have been enjoying your articles. Forgive me for making this link, but I thought you'd enjoy the cartoons, if nothing else. Keep countering bias and misinformation: https://moreenigma.com/2017/02/22/herds-of-independent-thinkers/

Why Can't This Dog Play With That Tennis Ball?
A dog playing with a ball is about as cute as it gets, so imagine the level of frustration this pooch feels when it simply cannot get its paws on one no matter how hard it tries.
All this bulldog wants to do is play with a worn tennis ball sitting on the couch, but it's just out of reach.
Poor guy.
It's like when you were a kid and all you wanted was a cookie and your mom put the cookie jar on a shelf you couldn't quite reach. Sorry -- didn't mean to trigger those bad memories.

Sensual Tips: How to Finger a Woman
A man's arsenal of sensual tips ought to include a healthy stock of pre-play knowledge. While most know that kissing is important here, some get cold feet when it comes to using your hands in and around a woman's sensual organs. Likely, the reason for this is a lack of confidence concerning their ability to properly stimulate her. Since confidence is an important factor in sensual health and performance abilities, it would be wise to educate themselves in this area, especially on the topic of fingering.
1) Keep the nails trimmed and cleaned. Dirty, ragged finger nails do not a pleasant fingering experience make. A man needs to make sure his nails are smooth, short and clean underneath before putting them near a lover's most sensitive parts. Sensual Tips: How to Finger a Woman
2) Make sure she's lubed up. This may come from natural lubrication following kissing, caressing and external stimulation; it may also be product-assisted. A man may think that, since fingers are thin compared to the male organ, lubrication is not as crucial when fingering. Think again.
3) Consider what kind of penetration she likes. Does she like it fast and hard? If so, a man will likely get the best reaction by mimicking this rhythm and depth with his fingers. He can do so by kneeling in front of her spread legs, a position that allows him to use the full length of his middle finger (and perhaps his index or ring finger as well). If she likes it slow but deep, follow suit. If she likes shallower thrusts, focus on the G-spot.
4) Find the G-spot. Regardless of how a woman likes penetration while lovemaking, she probably will get a big thrill from G-spot stimulation. A man can best access this by kneeling in front of her spread legs and placing a finger or two inside her with the palm facing up; then, arch the finger (s) in a "come here" motion. Start slow, and vary the rhythm according to her reaction. Tip: Pretend that the fingers are trying to touch her belly button from the inside in order to get the right angle.
5) Get the C-spot involved. For many women, external stimulation in conjunction with fingering is a special treat that can lead to intense release. Use deep thrusts (if she likes them) and / or G-spot stimulation while using the tongue to circle the C-spot, or use the fingers of the other hand to massage her on the outside.
6) Try the slide technique. Place two fingers on either side of her C-spot, then slide them down and insert them. Slide them back up and repeat. It's best to do this with palm facing down; even if the nails are trimmed, they could still irritate her sensitive skin. Also note that this technique requires ample lubrication. Sensual Tips: How to Finger a Woman
7) Screw it. Sit between her legs and insert two fingers with the palm facing down. Go all the way in, then rotate so that the palm is facing up as you pull out, and repeat. Try to tap her G-spot on the way out for extra pleasure.
Along with learning how to make the best out of pre-play, one of the most important sensual tips for a man is to keep his male organ in peak form and function. Along with proper washing and regular use, a man would do well to use a male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) on a daily basis. A combination of moisturizers (Shea butter and vitamin E) will provide optimal hydration to the skin, protecting it from the frictions of the day. Also look for vitamin C, which promotes collagen production and member tissue firmness. Keeping the manhood as a way of knowing his way around pre-play. Sensual Tips: How to Finger a Woman

How might the minds of humans differ from the social norm if they were to be raised from birth in Zero Gravity?
A weightless environment presents a true three-dimensional setting where Newton's laws of motion prevail over Earth-honed intuition. Friction for objects sitting on tabletops distorts the true nature of the laws of motion and thus warps our intuition. We normally think in terms of two dimensions when we move from place to place. However in orbit, one might decide the best way is to go across the ceiling and then sit on the wall. If you lose something in weightlessness, you instinctively look down, which of course is not the solution.
What intuitive behaviors would spawn from being raised in weightlessness and how might this change your methods of thinking and problem solving?
For people who will be raised in orbit, I speculate that their thinking perspective will be different, their way of processing three dimensions — hence, their thoughts and methods of solving complex problems. Creativity will certainly be more three-dimensional and definitely thinking will be out of the gravitational box. Like the way culture and language influences your ability to creatively think and the kinds of problems you choose to tackle, being free from gravity will entice thoughts never before possible for the human mind. Perhaps the next revolutions in scientific discovery will have to wait until humanity steps out of its cradle and expands into space.

Monsoon brings with it a reason to smile, to bathe in the rain showers and enjoy the charm of it to the fullest. But it also brings a number of diseases and allergies with it. The extremely humid climate and repeated rains make various bacteria's to be active in the atmosphere.
In order to save yourself from falling sick in this beautiful season, take the following precautions:
1- Say No to Street Food- All of us know that street food is unhealthy and should be avoided regardless of the season. But if you can't keep away from munching these not-so-healthy delicacies, try to avoid it at least in monsoons. These foods are prepared and sold in the open and come in direct contact with disease causing bacteria's and can increase your chances of falling sick.
2- Keep Your Hands Clean- You obviously cannot keep away from public places but your safety is in your hands. Try to keep yourself clean. Wash your hands frequently with soap. Most of the bacteria enter your body through mouth and nose. Carry a clean handkerchief to clean your face.
3-Keep Mosquitoes Away
Stagnant water accumulated in the potholes of every street results in abundance of the mosquitoes. Keep the insides of your home clean and dry. Clean the stagnant water from cooler, fountains, ditches and other potholes. Use mosquito repellents in your homes as well as on your body when you go out.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service (WYFRS) is changing the way it delivers home visits in a bid to help keep the most vulnerable people in our communities safe.
This week they are launching a four-week public engagement exercise asking for people's view on the new home visit, which will be called 'Safe and Well'.
For the past two decades WYFRS has delivered Home Fire Safety Checks, with on average around 45,000 home visits carried out each year across the county.
Safe and Well with see the fire service work closely with the health sector. The focus of the visit will remain fire safety, but firefighters will also act as the 'eyes and ears' for our partner agencies and will offer basic advice and make a referral where they see another issue that requires addressing.
Safe and Well is a joint enterprise between the Chief Fire Officers Association, Public Health England, NHS England, the Local Government Association and Age UK.
The new style of visit is due to launch this April on a phased basis and is expected to take around two years to fully implement due to a comprehensive training programme for staff.
Area Manager for Fire Safety, Chris Kirby, said: "The new Safe and Well visits have the potential to make a real difference to West Yorkshire's most vulnerable people.
"The Fire Service is not trying to be medics or social workers but we are highly trained to recognise risks and prevent accidents.
"Experience has taught us that where people are living in circumstances where there is a high risk of fire in the home, often there are other lifestyle traits that affect their overall wellbeing.
"We'd really appreciate the public's views on our plans for Safe and Well, so please take the time to fill out the questionnaire on our website."
Other than fire prevention the key topics of Safe and Well are falls prevention, social isolation, winter cold, crime prevention and smoking cessation.
People requesting a Safe and Well visit will be assessed, via a series of questions about their home and lifestyle, and those at higher risk will be prioritised.
Anyone assessed to be low risk, with working smoke alarms and no other vulnerabilities, will be directed to a fire safety education package, either online or via leaflets.

The Kazahana Castle (風花城, Kazahana-jō, Literally meaning: Snowflake Castle) was a castle which appeared in Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow. It was a beautiful Japanese-style castle, located in the mountains of the Land of Snow, and belonged to the late daimyō, Sōsetsu Kazahana, who lived in it with his daughter, Koyuki.
Ten years before the start of the series, Sōsetsu's younger brother, Dotō, revolted by burning down the castle, and killing everyone within, in search of a certain treasure Sōsetsu left behind, as well as taking over the Land of Snow by force. Koyuki and Sandayū Asama were known survivors of this ordeal, the former taking the key of the treasure that Dotō was searching for.

|Safe Haskell
This module is written to be imported qualified. It defines the syntax for HTML-like values for use in Graphviz. Please note that these values are not really HTML, but the term "HTML" is used throughout as it is less cumbersome than "HTML-like". To be able to use this, the version of Graphviz must be at least 1.10. For more information, please see: http://graphviz.org/doc/info/shapes.html#html
The actual definition of the syntax specifies that these types must
be valid XML syntax. As such, this assumed when printing and parsing,
though the correct escape/descaping for
< and
> are
automatically done when printing and parsing.
Differences from how Graphviz treats HTML-like values:
- Graphviz only specifies the above-listed characters must be
escaped; however, internally it also escapes
'and multiple sequences of spaces. This library attempts to match this behaviour. Please let me know if this behaviour (especially about escaping multiple spaces) is unwanted.
- When parsing escaped HTML characters, numeric escapes are converted to the corresponding character as are the various characters listed above; all other escaped characters (apart from those listed above) are silently ignored and removed from the input (since technically these must be valid XML, which doesn't recognise as many named escape characters as does HTML).
- All whitespace read in is kept (even if Graphviz would ignore multiple whitespace characters); when printing them, however, they are replaced with non-breaking spaces. As such, if multiple literal whitespace characters are used in a sequence, then the result of parsing and then printing some Dot code will not be the same as the initial Dot code. Furthermore, all whitespace characters are printed as spaces.
- It is assumed that all parsed
&values are the beginning of an XML escape sequence (which must finish with a
- There should be no pre-escaped characters in values; when
printing, the
&will get escaped without considering if that is an escaped character.

Some Hunting Seasons Open on Sunday
Seasons for blue and ruffed grouse, often referred to as mountain grouse, open Sept.1. Blue grouse are found in most mountain areas throughout the state on both Bureau of Land Management and national forest lands. Ruffed grouse are found in western Wyoming in the Shoshone, Bridger-Teton and Targhee national forests and the Black Hills in the northeastern portion of the state. The season is long, ending Nov. 30.
Mourning doves are found throughout the state, and the quality of hunting is weather dependant. With the first cold snap, doves will head for warmer climes, but if the weather stays mild, dove hunters often have opportunities throughout much of September. Licensed mourning dove hunters are reminded to have the federal Harvest Information Program permit (HIP permit) in their possession while hunting.
Like mourning doves, small game animals are also found throughout much of the state. In Wyoming, animals legally classified as small game include cottontail rabbits, snowshoe hares and red, gray and fox squirrels. The small game season is long, opening Sept. 1 and running through March 1. Dove hunters should be aware that Eurasian collared doves are being seen with increasing frequency in Wyoming especially in the eastern part of the state.
License requirements for small game and birds vary with the age and residency of the hunters. Hunters 14 years and older are required to possess the proper small game or bird license.

It's been wild and crazy around the farm these past few weeks. Babies are hitting the ground left and right, my front yard is pretty much one giant weed patch (including most of the garden…yikes!) and the tomatoes I started back in February look like they could walk out the door and plant themselves!
The most exciting thing though happened a couple of days ago when I noticed one of my goat kids had something wrong with her eye. Turns out her eyelids are too big and were rolling in toward her eyeballs! The lashes were scratching the insides of her eyes. Even weirder is the fact that when I called my friend Bridget for help, she told me she had the same problem last year and learned how to fix it. Apparently its called entropion. According to http://www.helium.com, "Entropion is a disorder of the eyelids which can be painful to goats. The eyelid or both eyelids are reversed (turned inward) causing the lashes to scrape the eye. Goats can either be born with entropion or it can be caused from an injury to the eye. Blepharitis is commonly associated with entropion and both of these disorders are frequently mistaken for pink eye." I wound up taking the doeling over to Bridget's and she put 3 skin staples under each eye. I have a little punk rock baby now! We should be able to remove the staples in a few weeks. In the mean time we're giving her prescription eye drops to speed up the healing process and help with the pain.I'm happy to report she's doing great so far.

A very short, dense brush with a slightly angled head use to create soft lines and smudging.
The Angle Definer Brush is made of Ox Hair.
New brushes should always be cleaned prior to use. This will remove any chemical residue left behind from the sanitising process, and prevent any possible sensitivity. New brushes often shed. Do not be alarmed this is normal and will reduce after a few cleaning processes.
Clean brushes regularly with a mild shampoo or liquid soap, do not leave to soak as this will affect the ferrule and wooden handle. Rinse thoroughly and squeeze excess water out of the brush in the direction of the tip.
Do not leave to dry in an upright position as water will run down into the ferrule causing damage and the brush will lose it original shape. Dry flat on a towel, if possible leave the head of the brush over the edge of a counter so that air can circulate evenly during drying.

AMIENS, France (AP) — Two Goodyear managers held captive by angry French workers were freed Tuesday after police intervened, ending two days of standoff over the factory's bleak future.
The release outraged union members, who made a bonfire of tires in front of the plant. It also left unresolved the larger problems that have dogged the plant in Amiens in northern France, which Goodyear has tried to sell or shutter for five years.
The plant has become an emblem of France's labor tensions. Workers, having failed so far to save their jobs, seized the plant's director and human resources chief on Monday morning to demand bigger severance packages.
"Boss-napping" has happened sporadically in France in the past, but police generally don't intervene in such incidents, to avoid inflaming tensions while mediators try to settle the labor dispute.
The Amiens plant has seen violent protests in recent years, so prosecutors said they authorized police intervention.
A dozen police officers arrived at the plant Tuesday afternoon, and two went inside the facility. Minutes later, the two bosses walked out and got in an unmarked police car. They did not speak to reporters.
Angry and cursing, Mickael Wamen of the CGT union said afterward: "We were told very clearly ... that if we didn't free these two people that dozens and dozens of riot police trucks would be coming from Paris, would go inside, a riot would break out and they would whack us all and we'd all end up in prison."
"We are already losing our jobs, on top of that to end up in prison..." he continued.
Soon afterward, union representatives spraypainted the word "bad" over the letters "good" in Goodyear on the sign leading into the factory.
Some had hoped for talks Tuesday to try to defuse the dispute, but both sides dug in and refused to negotiate.

Why Be Fit Before You Hunt?
There are many reasons for maintaining your physical fitness. Here are four reasons why it is important to be in good condition before taking to the field:
- If you are physically fit you can walk faster and farther. You'll cover more of your hunting area and have access to more remote sites.
- If you are physically fit you can avoid exhaustion and dangerous lapses of concentration. Being alert and focused helps you to avoid accidents, lessens your chances of getting lost, and allows you to pay more attention to firearm safety and shooting skills.
- Being physically fit can also improve your marksmanship. Remember: One of the keys to accuracy is breathing control. If you are out of breath and breathing heavily, your chest is heaving. If your chest is moving, you cannot hold your firearm steady.
- If you must pursue or track a wounded animal, you will be more successful if you are fit.
