Evolutionary Mutation - What is it?
In biology, a mutation is a permanent change of the nucleotide sequence of the genome of an organism, virus, or extrachromosomal DNA or other genetic elements. Mutations result from damage to DNA which is not repaired or to RNA genomes (typically caused by radiation or chemical mutagens), errors in the process of replication, or from the insertion or deletion of segments of DNA by mobile genetic elements. Mutations may or may not produce discernible changes in the observable characteristics (phenotype) of an organism. Mutations play a part in both normal and abnormal biological processes including: evolution, cancer, and the development of the immune system, including junctional diversity.
Mutation can result in several different types of change in sequences. Mutations in genes can either have no effect, alter the product of a gene, or prevent the gene from functioning properly or completely. Mutations can also occur in nongenic regions. One study on genetic variations between different species of Drosophila suggests that, if a mutation changes a protein produced by a gene, the result is likely to be harmful, with an estimated 70 percent of amino acid polymorphisms that have damaging effects, and the remainder being either neutral or weakly beneficial. Due to the damaging effects that mutations can have on genes, organisms have mechanisms such as DNA repair to prevent or correct (revert the mutated sequence back to its original state) mutations. Ref. Wikipedia.
Beneficial mutations
Although mutations that cause changes in protein sequences can be harmful to an organism, on occasions the effect may be positive in a given environment. In this case, the mutation may enable the mutant organism to withstand particular environmental stresses better than wild-type organisms, or reproduce more quickly. In these cases a mutation will tend to become more common in a population through natural selection.
For example, a specific 32 base pair deletion in human CCR5 (CCR5-Δ32) confers HIV resistance to homozygotes and delays AIDS onset in heterozygotes. One possible explanation of the etiology of the relatively high frequency of CCR5-Δ32 in the European population is that it conferred resistance to the bubonic plague in mid-14th century Europe. People with this mutation were more likely to survive infection; thus its frequency in the population increased. This theory could explain why this mutation is not found in southern Africa, which remained untouched by bubonic plague. A newer theory suggests that the selective pressure on the CCR5 Delta 32 mutation was caused by smallpox instead of the bubonic plague.
Another example is Sickle-cell disease, a blood disorder in which the body produces an abnormal type of the oxygen-carrying substance hemoglobin in the red blood cells. One-third of all indigenous inhabitants of Sub-Saharan Africa carry the gene, because, in areas where malaria is common, there is a survival value in carrying only a single sickle-cell gene (sickle-cell trait). Those with only one of the two alleles of the sickle-cell disease are more resistant to malaria, since the infestation of the malaria plasmodium is halted by the sickling of the cells that it infests.
Note: The Sickle-cell mutation is nonetheless a loss of information. The hemoglobin's normal function is impaired, not improved, and the protection from malaria is simply an incidental side benefit — the pathogen happens to be destroyed along with the person's own defective cells. This mutation does not introduce a new level of complexity; there is no new functional information or novel structural feature for evolution to build on. Considered in itself, this mutation is destructive and harmful, as are so many others. It is difficult to see how any genetic change of this sort could lead to a true evolutionary advance.
My argument against the theory of 'beneficial genetic mutation' and how it forms that basis for theory of evolution is multi-faceted:
Fruit fly experiments. In a recent study, also published in Nature, University of California Irvine researcher Molly Burke led research into the genetic changes that occurred over the course of 600 fruit fly generations. After the equivalent of 10,000 years of human evolution the fruit flies showed surprisingly few differences. And, of course, it is still a fruit-fly. It was not a new creature - it was not even a 'different kind of fly'.
E. coli long-term evolution experiment. This is an ongoing study in experimental evolution led by Richard Lenski that has been tracking genetic changes in 12 initially identical populations of asexual Escherichia coli bacteria since 24 February 1988. The populations reached the milestone of 60,000 in April 2014, the equivalent of 1-million years of human evolution (based on 16-years between generations). Lenski and his colleagues have reported a wide array of genetic changes. Some changes have occurred in all 12 populations and others have only appeared in one or a few populations. At the present time though, the E-coli bacteria are still E-coli bacteria. Not one of them has grown fins to swim around the petri dish or limbs to help it climb out.
Mendel's Law: According to the Mendel's Law". "Evolution has taken place by the incorporation into the race of those mutations that are beneficial to the life and reproduction of the organism". Injurious mutations have practically no chance of becoming established. The unaddressed issue is the grievous lack of the generation of new genetic material required for speciation. There simply is no evidence for it, or of the spectacular number of iterations that are required to fulfil the evolutionary process.
The numbers: There are 37.2 Trillion Cells in Your Body. That is 37,200,000,000,000 cells. Personal weight variation can make the spread 15 to 70-trillion. There are over one-hundred distinct kinds of cells in your body. Evolutionary scientists estimate that the first 'simple cells' appeared 3.6-billion years ago and complex cells 2-billion years ago. Given that human cells are extremely complex, this would require the addition of 18,600 new cells, every single year for 2-billion years, to the specie that would eventually become a human.
Some scientists believe that more than 99-percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species, that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct. That's 5-Billion extinct species and modern scientists have not observed the creation of a single modern specie, man-made or otherwise (see e-coli experiment above).
Irreducible Complexity. I addressed this issue in a previous blog, THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG? CREATION OR EVOLUTION?
Compounding Complexity. Not only does one have the task of trying to reconcile each of these individual realities, each one compounds the other. Not only does one have a very short timeline (yes, 2-billion years is very short) to go from a complex single cell to a fully developed human, one has to contend with the fact that virtually all genetic mutations are destructive and do not advance anything, that they must speciate and have competing 'beneficial mutations' occurring in unimaginable numbers concurrently.
Debunking Darwin's Theory (of evolution):
The theory of evolution is simply a theory which cannot be proven. What has been proven time and time again to be 100 percent accurate is Natural Selection, which is often mistaken as being "evolution" of species.
If primates breed and undergo changes via "natural selection" over millions of years they will not become humans. They will not "evolve" into humans.
Species cannot change and evolve into a totally new specie over thousands or millions of years. They can however, change their "existing features" through natural selection over hundreds or thousands of years and become a different looking version of the SAME SPECIE and not a new one.
Consider this, finches on an island, the ones with smaller beaks could not survive to eat the food, the ones with bigger beaks did, so the ones with smaller beaks died out, leaving the ones with bigger beaks behind, they then interbred, resulting in the next generation – a finch specie with big beaks, because they inherited the big beaks from both parents. The future finches did not become a new type of bird, they did not evolve into something else. Simply natural selection let the bigger beaked finches take over.
So the finch did not evolve from a small beak finch to a big beak finch.

The Letters Page "is a literary journal in letters, published by the School of English at the University of Nottingham and edited by Jon McGregor". We had the pleasure to receive by post a copy of The Letters Page Vol 2. I did not expect the book to be delivered in such a nice package! It was with an absolute delight that I unwrapped it. The book is beautifully made and has that lovely fresh book smell, which makes the whole reading experience even better!
This book holds within its pages a collection of letters from different writers. Copy, influence and plagiarism is the loose theme for this set of letters. As you read you notice that some of the writers incorporated this into their letters, while some focused on something other than that. I like that. It creates a nice dynamic, where in one letter you come across a piece about an upsetting plagiarism situation and in another about loss. You turn the page and you are faced with a description of being an immigrant where nowhere feels quite like home, and where the writer paints a picture of the desolation that is found in Nicosia after it was divided between Turks and Greeks. The letters are very different, some in content but all of them in their form of expression because they were written by very different people who write in different ways. The letters were short, interesting and enjoyable. This collection of letters also points you towards the work of the featured writers who you may not otherwise have heard about.
As you move on from letter to letter you take with you something to muse about. The concept of looking at ourselves as a copy of the people who came before us is fascinating. The idea that we are, to a certain extent, a copy of our parents, influenced by our society and environment was touched upon in some of the writings.
As a person who is very interested in how we become the person we are today, I liked the ones that looked back into their past and compared themselves with their fathers, drawing similarities and admitting that we can be much more like our parents than we think. This concept brought to mind a song I love by Elis Regina called Como Nossos Pais which says "despite of everything we had done we are still the same, and we live just like our parents". It urged me to think of my own life and about all aspects of it that resemble my parents and the life they had. Ways of speaking, of dealing with difficult issues, of making big decisions, of cooking and cleaning. I can see my mother in some of it and my father in others, and even my stepmother in a few. It is fascinating to think how much of a copy we actually are. How much of people we pick up as we go through life and how much of who we are now is made up by what, and who, we were exposed to.
It is hard to put in a paragraph what the book is about. It is a book of collective of perceptions in different forms of expression in writing. Be assured to expect surprises as you go through the letters. Even the footnote in this book is interesting. There were some that made me go back to the letter and reread it with new eyes leaving me shocked for having missed the obvious. Reading all of these letters was a very enjoyable experience and I hope you all enjoy them as much I did!
The Letters Page Vol 2 was launched on the 7th of September!

Definitely overate yesterday at Easter yesterday, but seeing as it was all on-plan food, I'm not beating myself up over it. I did find a good alternate to rolls, though: we used this stuff called 'CarbQuik' (think of it like low-carb Bisquick) to make the rolls, and they were good! Net 2 carbs each. The CarbQuik was a good base; in the future, I could add cheese and spices to make cheddar bay biscuits, maybe glaze them with butter, salt, and savory herbs to make them a more flavorful dinner roll. Either way, we ended up with way too many and I popped them into the freezer; let's see how they hold up!
Today begins my fast with my dad. I am going to be doing a 3-day fast minimum, but I am aiming for a 5-day fast.
B: Warrior coffee (black coffee, coconut oil)
L: Nada
D: Zilch
I will make sure to get in some broth somewhere in there. If I feel ill in any way, I will end the fast immediately and eat a full meal. I don't win or lose by completing or not completing this fast. I can stop this at any time for any reason, and I will think no less of myself for it.
Have an awesome on-plan day, everyone 🙂

Miniatyyritalon loputtoman pitkä rakennusurakka - About an ever lasting miniature house building project
torstai 19. maaliskuuta 2015
Upside down
Hi there!
My miniature world turned upside down tonight. Our workshop crew, your's truly included, is going to show our work at Helsinki Model Expo in the beginning of April. I don't know how many times I've said Never again! but here we go again... We will have only one more workshop night before the exhibition so every minute counts...
It's so funny! Every autumn we always chat a lot, everybody wants to catch up, but these last hours in the spring are something really different. The's no chatting, no gossiping, only semi serious faces and a queue to all the "best" machines... Fortunately we all get along very well and there's a lot of progress to be seen around, if one only had time to look around!!
I focused to the attic. There's still quite a lot to do, but with a bit of luck, I'll get it nearly finished in time...

Sealer for paint on dog collars
November 2005
I have been painting on nylon dog collars with Jacquard paint and other fabric paint. My dilemma is that after the dogs romp around a bit, the paint comes off.
Any suggestions for a sealer or different application for durability? I am concerned about a non-toxic sealer in case the dog chews the collar!
Thanks very much.
Celia Buchanan
November 2005
Have you tried our
Acid Dyes
? That is generally the colorant used on nylon and they work great? As it is a dye it penetrates into the fabric so you won't have any problems with it wearing off. Below is a recipe to use them as paint. You won't need to use any sealer with them.
As for a sealer for the paints. Any non-toxic clear acrylic spray will seal them but may also make them stiff.
Acid Dyes for Painting:
Add 8 oz. (1 cup) of very hot water to one .5 oz. Acid Dye Powder. Stir until dissolved. This will yield a very concentrated dye solution. Most colors require further dilution. Note: every color has a different solubility. Some colors are difficult to dissolve such as 605 and 618, but most are easily dissolved. The final concentration of the dye solution for painting should be between 4 and 8%. Start by adding 4 oz. (1/2 cup) of water to the 8 ounces you already have, test the color and continue adding water until desired shade is achieved. Keep in mind that the color intensity really develops in the steam setting process. Most colors will remain stable in solution for a long period of time. However, some colors will fall out of solution upon cooling or from sitting for a matter of weeks. To restore them simply heat them on the stove. A small amount of alcohol (about 1 tablespoon) can be added to the dye solution as a wetting agent.
Steaming instructions
Placement of steamer: Place the steamer across any typical gas or electric stove. Add water up to, but not covering, the steamer baffle near the bottom of the steamer. Water may need to be added between steaming to prevent the steamer from running dry. There is no need to add more water while steaming.
Rolling Fabric: When steaming fabric, it is important to prevent back staining and permanent wrinkling or creasing. Rolling the fabric with unprinted newsprint or a similar uncoated paper should solve back staining every time. A layer of paper between rolls of fabric keeps fabric from touching itself, thus stopping back staining. Keeping the fabric smooth while rolling will insure there will be no permanent creases or wrinkles. Lay the fabric flat on your work surface, taking care to smooth out wrinkles. Next, place a sheet of paper, wider than the fabric itself, on top of the fabric (length is not a concern, as sheets of paper will be over lapped while rolling). Roll fabric onto pole provided using a smooth light touch. Continue rolling until all the fabric is on the roll. Finish by wrapping an extra two layers of paper around the fabric and secure the roll with tape. Place roll in the steamer and you are ready to start.
Steam Time: The length of time required to set the dyes depends on the type of dyes and the amount of fabric on the roll. Generally, steam time will range from 20 minutes (once water boils) to 45 minutes. A longer steam time is necessary if the roll is big. Note: Prolonged steam time does not increase permanence or brightness - the colors are either set or they are not set.. Likewise, those dyes that require relatively long steam time do not necessarily give better colors or better light fastness than dyes that set quickly. There is no advantage to over steaming, but it will not hurt anything either. However, excessive steaming increases the possibility of back staining. We suggest that you begin by steaming small pieces first for 1 hour. Then cut steaming time to 30 minutes. Compare and adjust the steam time based on the results.

So we now know it seems from the symposium at least that most jugular problems are caused by faulty valves in a variety of ways and to balloon through them they attempt to get them to "stick" closer to the vein wall to allow for better flow. Could that in itself prevent the jugular from collapsing when upright? I should think if before angioplasty having some flow and a faulty valve creating stenosis would also prevent the vein from collapsing just from basic physics. Do we know whether it makes any difference to our health whether the jugulars collapse when standing up (obviously I don't know).
It seems people don't have the same number of valves and that they are not present at the same locations and that they are often not needed, very confusing as to what impact these valves have, faulty of missing or too many or none at all, confusing?

I always wondered what it's like to travel first class. I've done a lot of traveling spending as little money as possible. Well, not exactly. I've done a lot of traveling spending as little money on extraneous things like plane tickets and breakfast as possible. In Sweden I pitched my tent in a city park and stole food off someone's reject cafeteria plate. I also bought this gorgeous canvas coat and took weekly trips to Copenhagen. Anyway.
I got upgraded one time after spending the night in the foetal position under a desk in the Colombo airport (take pity on a poor white girl). There was someone working for an international aid agency in the seat beside me. She had nice hair and a perfectly modulated voice. I had so many questions to ask her but instead I slept through the flight -- a full nine hours. I still have the complimentary eye-mask.
I've most certainly never traveled first class with a baby. Now that I'm on the road with Sweet Baby James, hitting up all my favourite cities on a Last Hurrah/Give Me My Green Card, Bitch cross-Canada tour, I'm willing to give it a try.
Our introduction to the Executive Experience happens on Air Canada flight 758 to Montréal. It's an early morning flight and I begin the day exhausted, tripping over my own two feet which is kind of obscene when you're carrying a baby. I've always felt I should dress up for air travel but today my hair is still damp from the shower, pulled back into a drooping bun. You could say 'drooping' is kind of the unifying theme here: bleary eyes, sagging jeans, and somehow also the once-trusty ring sling which Sweet Baby James has learned how to wriggle loose.
I am constantly readjusting it, tightening it around him for some semblance of safety as we go through baggage check, security, washroom pit-stop, airplane boarding, minuscule airplane washroom pit-stop... It's driving me crazy. And my pants are falling down. I am that mom. That harried mom with frizzy hair and a kid who looks like trouble. The passenger no one wants to sit beside.
What nobody knows is that the last time we took a flight, I kept this baby quiet like my life dependend on it. I walked him up and down the aisles. I took him for a poop in the bathroom. I comfort nursed him whenever he looked a little peevish. I sat paralyzed, staring straight ahead as he slept because I couldn't quite reach my magazine. I tied disposable cups to strings and hung them from different parts of the plane, creating a beverage-themed mobile for his batting convenience.
God dammit, I kept him so content and entertained, no one had cause to complain. No, instead they complimented my husband when he came to pick us up at the gate. "He was so quiet the whole flight! What a good baby!" I don't know why they congratulated him when they should have been thanking me. Anyway.
This flight starts off well with Sweet Baby James relaxing into my arms in our Economy Class seat during take off. I'm a bit on edge because although I took him to the washroom a few minutes before, he hasn't had his morning poop. And he didn't have one yesterday.
For the first ten minutes, it's clear sailing. The man with the aisle seat has begrudgingly consented to switch with me if the baby starts crying and I have to walk the aisle at some point. I'm thirsty. We hit some minor turbulence and the captain turns the seatbelt sign on. I put Sweet Baby James back in his sling and wait for the sign to be turned off. He fusses a bit so I sing him some ants.
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah.
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah. The ants go marching one by one, the little one stops to suck his thumb --
and they all go marching down, to the ground, to get out of the rain.
(bum ba-bum bum)
And then I sing him some more. And some more. We're up to ten ants (the little one stops to pet a hen) and still the seatbelt sign has not been turned off. There hasn't been any turbulence for at least fifteen minutes. I'm not the only one getting antsy. Poopageddon seems also to be nigh for several middle-aged men, who jump out of their seats in a desperate bid for the washroom, only to be turned back by a sour-faced stewardess. She comes onto the intercom. "Ladies and gentlemen, the Captain has left the seatbelt sign on. Please return to your seats and fasten your seatbelt, for your own safety and that of others around you, or I will publicly humiliate you in ways only I know how. Thank you."
Sweet Baby James is looking at me like, "Mom, I really have to go..."
He's a little disturbed by all this. Not so much the seatbelt sign, which I have now come to believe El Capitan has forgotten to turn off, but the accusatory voice emanating from the ceiling. She clicks off loudly and that's when I hear it: the unmistakable sound, the sound I would know anywhere. It is the sound of a pooptrastrophe in the making. Sweet Baby James looks at me, not altogether displeased with himself. I check his diaper and see the tide rising. I quickly snap it back and press down, not wanting to invite our new friend to further explore the terrain of his lower back.
I should take a little time-out here and explain something. Some of you may be wondering what the big deal is, because I have a baby and babies poop their diapers all the time, whatevs. The thing is, we practice 'Elimination Communication' (or Natural Infant Hygiene, as Isabelle Bauer calls it in her inspiring book, Diaper Free: The Gentle Wisdom of Natural Infant Hygiene). Most of Sweet Baby James' poops actually happen on the toilet when we cue him to go. I'll write more about this in another post, but for now I'll say that I do not feel good about letting my baby sit in his own crap. I also prefer not to be its intermediary processor, especially not in confined spaces 30,000 feet above sea level.
So we subsist for a while, me singing more ants and trying to keep Sweet Baby James in a standing position, his twists, turns and dives reduced to a minimum. He complains greatly at this new restriction, lunging for the earbuds of the woman sitting next to us who is watching an old Seinfeld episode and politely ignoring the aroma wafting out of my baby's pants.
At long last, the captain remembers us and pushes his benevolent finger on the off-button. Cue the sound of 300 seatbelts unbuckling. This is my chance. I should be the first in line. I should be running down the aisle as fast as those pudgy middle-aged guys, I should be -- there is no way. Fifteen people line up on each side. In my sleep-addled brain I do the calculation. If they all take an average of three minutes in there (and let's be honest, some of them are going to take a lot longer than that), we're looking at 45 minutes of waiting.
A stewardess approaches me. She must have seen the desperation on my face because she's smiling and suggesting I use the washroom "up there." I can hardly believe my ears: where? In First Class? You want me to take my poopy baby up there into the dimly lit foreskin of the plane, where men in business suits are drinking Sake and... watching old Seinfeld episodes?
I saunter up the aisle, baby on my arm. Apparently people in First Class don't have to pee quite so often because, Hurrah, hurrah, I'm at the head of the line. I slip into the washroom, eager to unclip the changing table and get the baby out of his padded fecal bag when my hand grazes against... nothing. Nothing at all, save the bare beige wall, mottled airplane plastic. There's no changing table.
I do my best. We do our best, Sweet Baby James and I. He cries as I set him down on the toilet seat, perhaps out of surprise at the cold metal on his back, perhaps out of fear at the precarious nature of his position. I can't protect him from rolling off, though I try by straddling the seat with my legs, my hands busy with the task of un-sticking the diaper from his bum. And how the hell am I going to get a fresh diaper out of the case without getting poop on his pants, which are also in my hand? I do it, we do it, and when we exit the washroom to walk back to our seat, not a few of the passengers are smiling at us.
I smile back. No poop to be seen here, folks. Just your average mama with your average adorable baby.
Is there something inappropriate about having a baby in First Class? Or is it just that no one does it, and that's why there are no changing tables in those washrooms? Could it be that most First Class passengers are male, and therefore much less likely to be traveling with a baby? I don't know. I took a picture of the changing situation for the 'I've changed my baby...' project. Next time I'll be putting up a sticker.
In a few days we're taking the train to Toronto. I just booked the ticket, a five hour trip. First Class, baby.

While I have usually chosen analogue as the new default for me, lately I have found myself enjoying the seeming simplicity of digital. Before I became this analogue lover, I had been totally digital, with my trusty 30D. As I started using non Canon, or vintage glass lenses, I found myself moving towards analogue.
Life gets the better of you sometimes, and I have found it really lovely going back over thousands of raw files from digital adventures, and reprocessing them with an analogue heart and eyes.
I find I have changed much in that time. No my analogue workflow isn't totally that, and I blend digital by scanning or adjusting levels etc…..my heart is analogue.
Here are some of my latest revisits.
More of these digital revisits can be found here on my Ipernity Gallery. Would love you to have a gander.

A page in progress
While I'm busy playing catch-up posting some of my older pages in this journal, I thought I'd share something I'm working on now.
This is a page I've been working on today, that needs a lot more work, but is coming along nicely I think?

John A. Wilkinson's marriage to Lorraine Mary Turner was officially recognized by the State of North Carolina. Wilkinson was black and Turner was white.It was the first interracial marriage legally recognized by the state. It took a 1967 ruling from the United States Supreme Court to force the state (and 15 others) to revoke its anti-miscengenation laws. Last night was the way this was always going to go. But last night was never going to be the way this was going to end.
We all would have liked for the people of North Carolina to have given us an upset, but democracy isn't a fan of upsets. And it certainly isn't a fan of the civil rights of the statistically insignificant minority. Which is why it has never been the preferred instrument in doling them out.

In the latest in our series of blogs which focus on gardens, we turn our attention to what has been happening in September and what jobs can now be done in preparation for the months – and even seasons - ahead.
While the days have begun to shorten September is a lovely month in the garden with soft light and gorgeous rich colours from late flowering plants like Dahlias, Michaelmas Daisies and Echinacea. It is also a month for looking ahead and getting spring flowering bulbs planted. Most of the usual suspects can be put in during September including Daffodils, Crocus and Snowdrops but Tulips should be left until the end of November and early December to reduce the risk of frost damage to the tips.
Evergreen hedges can have their final trim in September, their growth will stop over the next few weeks so they will keep their shape after this cut until they start again next year. A neat evergreen hedge of privet or holly gives structure to the winter garden when everything else has died back and is a lovely sight on a winters' day when frosted leaves catch the sunlight. The soil beneath a hedge can also be left undisturbed for the winter with the dead leaves and general garden foliage providing a home for hibernating insects.
A few flowers hang on as the garden goes into October with later flowering perennials like Dahlias managing to produce blooms right up until the first frosts. Summer bedding will also keep going, especially if has been deadheaded regularly through summer. But there is always that feeling that winter is only just around the corner and that the first frost will change the garden overnight.
Look out for our October gardening article, coming soon

After only an hour after receiving this from the FedEx guy, I must say that I am very impressed with the technical sophistication of this phone. The iphone took all of an hour or so to completely figure out. Being new to the android software, I barely figured out how to make a call on this thing. Haha. Speaking of software, I read rumors on this site that phones are beginning to ship with 2.2. My phone was shipped on July 28th and arrived with 2.1 version software. Out of the box and only played with for an hour….. I am impressed with the Droid X and glad to have gotten rid of the iphone. So far, some Pros to the Droid X: The speaker volume, so far, seems to be much louder than my iphone. Screen is brighter. Cons: (though might not be cons once I get used to the phone) I find the little power jack very small and I question it's durability. Lots of screens; Phone seems like it is going to take a while to learn, however this might be a PRO. If the software is a bit complicated, that might mean that it is full and robust. Not a con, but I am confused why there are icons (widgets) on all 7 home screens. Seems confusing and I wonder why they are not all consolidated on one or two screens. Question.. I moved a few default widgets from one screen to another, is there a button somewhere in the phone that puts all icons/widgets back to default location? Any videos that show how to navigate around and use this phone?

Dubai, UAE; November 28, 2012: A symbol of UAE's civic pride, Burj Khalifa is saluting the nation's visionary leadership and the spirit of solidarity that marks the 41st National Day celebration, with a spectacular illumination of the global icon featuring the colours of the national flag on the façade of the tower's uppermost levels, until December 7.
• Emaar's UAE National Day tribute to celebrate nation's solidarity and brotherhood
• Highest levels of the tower to come alive with the brilliance of UAE national flag colours
The world's tallest building's highest levels will be at its resplendent best every evening through the UAE National Day celebrations in red, green and white, inspired by the national flag colours, gleaming elegantly against the backdrop of the night sky.
Towering at a height of 828 metres, Burj Khalifa's tribute to the nation will also be the highest of its kind illumination of the UAE national flag colours. The brilliant spectacle can be visible from afar, in a proud declaration of the nation's 'spirit of the union.'
Mr Ahmad Al Matrooshi, Managing Director of Emaar Properties, the developer of Burj Khalifa, said: "Burj Khalifa is the pride of the nation, an accomplishment that reflects the resourcefulness, dedication and forward looking vision of the country. The iconic tower demonstrates the principles of global collaboration, strategic planning and committed execution, which have also played a key role in the evolution of our nation as a global leader."
He added: "With the spectacular illumination of Burj Khalifa's top facade featuring the colours of our national flag, we are saluting the nation, our leaders and the people for the spirit of solidarity and brotherhood. As a nation, we are a beacon of hope and inspiration for the region. This National Day is another opportunity to celebrate our achievements and to further renew our commitment to work towards achieving UAE's Vision 2021 to become one of best nations in the world across all aspects."
The UAE National Day illumination of Burj Khalifa will be at the higher levels just below the spire, thus making it visible to people from far. Several lighting experts have been working on executing the illumination, taking into consideration various factors such as installation on the façade at such heights, and the choice of lights for maximising the illuminating effect while conserving energy.
The illumination of Burj Khalifa complements a rich array of entertainment, cultural and lifestyle activities to be hosted at Downtown Dubai, Emaar's flagship mega-development which is anchored by the global icon.
One of the most anticipated events for the 41st UAE National Day celebrations is the Downtown Dubai National Day Parade. Several leading public and private sector entities are taking part in the celebration with dedicated floats that narrate the sterling accomplishments of the nation.

text: look of the day Nov. 26, 2012 The Princess of Norway Gets Decked Out for the Tropics By Charlotte Cowles Princess Mette-Marit of Norway. After Kate and William made their much-celebrated tour of Southeast Asia last summer, it was only a matter of time before another royal couple followed suit. After all, who wouldn't want to leave a cold, rainy European country for a tropical locale under the guise of diplomacy? Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit and her husband, Crown Prince Haakon, are visiting Indonesia this week to strengthen ties between the countries; the trip obviously involves Mette-Marit wearing several nice but surely sweat-inducing outfits for photo-ops, like this lavender brocade coat dress, which she wore to check into their hotel in Jakarta yesterday. Here's hoping she tries a grass skirt sooner rather than later.

"Apogee continually delayed the completion date for the Duke Nukem Forever," Take-Two said in the complaint. "Apogee repeatedly assured Take-Two and the video-gaming community that it was diligently working toward competing development of the PC Version of the Duke Nukem Forever."This is just another development in a recent spate of Duke Nukem Forever-related news stemming from the announced cancellation of the game.
Stern judges like to award damages. Sometimes.
Bryn says: The man needs payin' back. It's understandable that Take-Two would be pissed off after plowing 12 million into a deal only to have the game yanked. And a game that's been in development for well over a decade would make that an even bitterer pill to swallow.
How successful Take-Two will be in court remains to be seen.

Spotted: Diani Mini in a Finnish Band's Music Video1 3 Share Tweet
Have you ever seen some Diana Mini's "acting" in a music video? Well, here's your shot…
Through my friend, I found a nice video, "Future Me" by LCMDF (Le Corps Mince de Francoise), which features the Diana Mini!
Le Corps Mince de Françoise consists of sisters Emma and Mia Kemppainen Kemppainen and Malin Nyqvist. The trio was formed in 2007 and began playing at their local scene in Helsinki, Finland. Their style is energetic and they quickly became a sensation. Now, they are set to unleash their talents to the rest of Europe!
Because of Facebook, MySpace, and YouTube, LCMDF quickly earned their share of internet fame. Their upbeat electro pop was easily picked up and posted on countless blogs for a day earned them top spot on the Hype Machine with their name higher than Kanye West!
The song has a very catchy tune and was written by Emma Kemppainen. The music video was directed by Philipp Kaessbohrer. Here's the video:
If you're that much in loved with Lomography and the analog world as I am, you will love this video! And the song, too.
The source of this article is Artist Wiki.
The Diana Mini is the ultra-compact, petite version of the Diana F+. This camera takes soft-focused, lo-fi images in 35mm and allows you to change between half-format and square shots with a flick of a switch. Get your own Diana Mini now!

Zuma, Lungisa openly defy Mantashe
By Luyolo Mkentane | IOL |
President Jacob Zuma has endorsed newly elected ANC Nelson Mandela Bay chairperson Andile Lungisa, despite the party's secretary-general Gwede Mantashe having asked him to withdraw from the leadership race prior to his victory.
Zuma jetted into Port Elizabeth on Sunday hours after Lungisa, the former ANC Youth League deputy president, was confirmed the new regional boss. He told Lungisa that the ancestors agreed with his election and that the will of the people should be respected.
Zuma's endorsement came after Lungisa disregarded Mantashe's strongly worded letter to withdraw from the leadership race.
Mantashe had written to party structures on Wednesday, advising them that the party's constitution prohibited comrades serving in the provincial executive committee (PEC) from contesting positions in lower structures.
Lungisa, who is seen as part of a group within the ANC that wants Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma to succeed Zuma as ANC leader in December, and possibly the country in 2019, serves in the Eastern Cape ANC PEC.
In the letter, Mantashe had emphasised that comrades should not be allowed to resign from the PECs ahead of conferences, as doing so would be "opportunistic".
Nonetheless, Lungisa went ahead and contested the chairperson position after briefly pulling out of the race. In a move that could put him at odds with his comrades, Zuma endorsed his election, saying the majority had spoken and "ours is to take that decision and make it ours".
Lungisa wasted no time after his election to leap to Dlamini Zuma's defence. He called on the "liberal media" to report fairly on her and to stop trying to "divide and ridicule ANC leaders".
Answering The Star's question on "the perspective that Andile Lungisa supports Nkosazana", the former National Youth Development Agency chairperson said: "If you talk about comrade Nkosazana, what is dominant in the media now is that she is President Zuma's ex-wife. They are not even mentioning her by name.
"In (the ANC's 2007 national elective conference) Polokwane, she was part of (former president Thabo) Mbeki's line-up. The media said she is a courageous, independent leader. Today that analogy has changed. What is different between 2007 and now? I am saying we must always strike a balance."
He also vowed to make the region, seen as a former ANC stronghold, vibrant again and influential "when it comes to national politics".
The new leadership that was elected during the three-day elective conference included Lungisa's deputy Phumzile Tshuni, secretary Themba Xathula, deputy secretary Desiree Davids and treasurer Mbulelo Gidane.
Lungisa said the leadership would move with speed in expropriating land without compensation "because the biggest pool of our people still do not have land.
"We cannot negotiate when our land was taken forcefully by settlers in this country. We fought for land."
His remarks come after Zuma sparked fierce debate within the ANC after recently telling traditional leaders that the country's laws would have to be amended to make way for land expropriation without compensation. "We never fought to sing the national anthem and wave the flag," he said.

5 Habits of Cloud-Enabled IT Leadership
Somewhere inside your organization a meeting is taking place consisting of several people from different areas of the business. The discussion is about a new service the company plans to roll out. Two people are using tablets, two are on smart phones and one is on a laptop. Most of these devices are not supported by IT yet everyone is accessing their work e-mail and either creating or sharing corporate documents. On the big screen, the group is using a collaboration service you didn't provide and are discussing data in reports from SaaS applications you didn't even know your organization was using. They then move on to a prototype landing page and mobile app that will provide this new service which comes from a cloud platform you didn't approve. The VP at the end of the table reviews it and says, "Great. This all looks good. Let's go live."
Click. It's live. Yet there's no IT person to be found in the room. You weren't invited. Nobody thought IT might be needed.
This is the new reality that is being introduced by the cloud. With these capabilities at the fingertips of the business, IT has to change its ways. Too many of those around the table believe IT is the department of "no." IT is the department that explains why things can't be done, why security would be violated, why things can't be done rapidly, and how an urgent project would violate the budget. This view from IT flies in the face of business people whose motivation is to get to market now.
Let's take a look at five habits for success in the cloud.
Embrace the cloud (where it fits)
Not everything is cloud. Certain apps are dependent on specific hardware and are not good for the cloud. But if there are services the company is using that are more effective than what is supported in house, embrace their use and figure out how to make them enterprise ready.
Get dirty
Gain experience with cloud apps to understand what can be done with these services to make them work, and to also know what is a risky bet. Discover what apps the business is running, and try them out.
Realize that there is more than one path to the cloud — private and public and that these paths evolve independently.
Set up the private cloud with self-service access for deployers, business units sharing the same infrastructure in a multi-tenant environment, chargeback or incentives to not use too much (and include an incentive to leave), and have some functions that can be passed from the private to the public cloud if required. Most enterprises have to evolve their IT operations to this model and that takes time.
Acknowledge & leverage hybrid
Concentrate on integrating in-house systems and legacy data with the new models. Where the cloud provides you with new capabilities, add them. Use web services to extend legacy technologies rather than incur the expense of upgrading the legacy to try to make it relevant. Also, at the point where the legacy is no longer in active use, cut it loose, archive it and outsource it.
Plan for failure, plan for success
Get ahead of your empowered employees. Use your position to discover new services that can empower the next big project and actively engage the new services leader as an advisor. This requires a new attitude - "no" is not allowed. And only bring solutions to the table, not problems.
Run the numbers
Cloud services look cheap on the surface but may be more expensive the more you use them. Have an understanding of the cost model and what you are incurring. This should not be done with a view to stop using it but to advise the company on how to use it most effectively.
"Implement as small a cloud as possible ..."
Capacity Planning in the Cloud
Capacity planning in the cloud is different, believes Staten. Capacity plans should be done at the service level, not just at the resource level. Instead of once a quarter, the capacity planner needs to be agile enough to cope with cloud dynamics. That means doing new capacity plans every week.
One final tip from Staten: Implement as small a cloud as possible because the cloud is an experiment at first. Why have it be big, wasteful and expensive while you learn? He told the audience since a small cloud is much easier to fund they don't need to implement chargeback. When it's full, developers will be willing to shut off VMs to get more new ones in. Developers will make small VMs that require little storage just to get in to that small cloud. This helps bring about a cultural change. And when the developers and business managers are clamoring for a larger cloud, IT will get its money as the CIO will OK it right away.

Brandon seems to be quite popular with vet visits recently, every time we get something "dealt with" another issue comes up.
Brandon had just finished his antibiotics (for the UTI issue) last Friday, and started vomiting quite often throughout the following days, on Tuesday it was decided to take him to the vet - which is when it was determined that Brandon must of swallowed a "foreign object", so it had nothing to do with his UTI issue.
He stayed the night at the vet's office on Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoon it was decided to go ahead and do surgery, since Brandon hadn't stopped vomiting.
The vet discovered a small "stuffed polar bear" in Brandon, which of course wasn't his (since he's been eating "everything" insight recently - all "stuffed toys" have been off limits for him), but he still managed to get ahold of a stuffed toy...
Brandon is doing much better now, but is now NEVER let out of sight. Ever since he got back from his 9 day stay at the specialist (for his UTI issues) he has decided he needs to get into EVERYTHING, his house manners went back to zero - though his "public manners" stayed "mostly" the same (thank goodness!). Brandon is now on leash most of the time while inside the house, which he's not enjoying much at the moment!
Hopefully he's done with vet emergencies for the time being, but I can tell you right now that his UTI issues are not gone...

A heavenly birthday
7 years ago today Mum died. I wish she was still here. She didn't get to meet these two precious small children of mine. I'm sure she would have loved having a grand daughter. A fact I know to be true, as she bought two smocked dresses while she was sick, for WHEN one of us managed to have a daughter. A baby was always welcomed by Mum. She was a mothercraft nurse before she had me. She was a baby whisperer. She would have been down on the floor reading books to Zeke. Convincing him to sit still for just a little while. I miss her.

What a site!
I finally made it to Crater Lake... after living in Oregon almost all my life and never seeing it before. It is absolutely breathtaking. This is Diamond Lake, on the way there. Another beautiful spot. The day was sunny and warm... and very dry.
This was the first look at the lake and Wizard Island.
This was the first look at the lake and Wizard Island.
The rim road is 33 miles long with more than 30 places to stop and stare...
And take deep breaths and just soak it all in. It smelled like pine needles and sweet fresh forest up there.
The slopes are steep and slippery all the way around. There is one trail down to the water, where they do the boat tours. I wanted to do that, but it was really crowded that day... and time just didn't allow. So that's on the to-do list for next time.
The water really is that color. Like a jewel. There are no rivers or streams feeding the lake, only rain and snowmelt. They do get a lot of snow up there.
This is the Phantom Ship. There were forest fires in the area that day, so this far-distant pic (LOVE the zoom on the camera...) is a little smokey... the white patch in the upper right, above, is a remnant of the the snowfall.
This is the front of the lodge. It's as beautiful inside - even more, I think - than outside.
This is the view from inside, on the lobby level. I'd love to stay there on one of the upper floors to take pics of the lake first thing in the morning. I imagine the stargazing from there is pretty darned good, too! Would be neat to get pics of the stars reflecting on the water.
Making my way back around the where I started... obviously the light has changed to that wonderful dramatic level that makes things just go POP.
You can see some of the smoke in this one. Isn't that just an amazingly beautiful place?
Coming back around to the end of the loop. It was getting really windy by the late afternoon, especially in this spot.
The trees up there show the effects of really tough weather. I do hope to get back there before the snow starts, and do some of the things I didn't have time for on this trip. There are so many more things to take pictures of than what I got to see... and I spent 5 hours on the rim taking pictures and enjoying the sights that day.
I see lots of faeries in this tree... isn't it awesome?
I was googling stuff to make the links on here and I found this. Holy cow. I hope they get a big fat ticket for that. Hugely relieved that the dog got out in time. Geez, people. Seriously.

If you ever took the "don't try this at home" disclaimer seriously, it has to apply to the following do-it-yourself gadgets. When you go to Lowes and they say "let's build something together," I'm pretty sure that they didn't plan on being an accomplice to a crime.
Machete-shooting crossbow
In the event that the world is overtaken by zombies, a 6-foot-long crossbow that shoots machetes isn't going to be my first choice in protection. First of all, it's a little unwieldy to carry and use. As you will see in the video, you are also more likely to injure yourself than you are the target. No, my weapon of choice would definitely be a bazooka that shoots laser-guided chainsaws. YouTube via Nerd Approved
Flame gloves
Is there a point to making gloves that shoot flames? Absolutely not — I don't care how cold your hands get. The creator of these flame gloves claims that it is the kind of thing that could be integrated into a performer's costume, but they've probably just seen too many superhero movies. Fortunately, I don't think we will be seeing these in Walmart anytime soon. Talking on the cellphone, petting dogs and high-fiving friends could turn into an epic disaster. YouTube via Fashionably Geek
Mini-fridge beer cannon
This homemade mini-fridge beer dispenser is powered by an air cannon, webcam and an ioBridge platform that handles the remote control and monitoring functions. The user simply selects what type of beer they want using an iPhone, then it switches to a targeting view to line up the shot. Ice-cold beers are vended toward increasingly inebriated targets at 50 psi. Whenever alcohol and projectiles get together, good things are bound to happen! YouTube via That's Nerdalicious
Homemade pulse laser gun
This homemade weapon looks like something straight out of a video game, and it isn't far away from a real laser weapon in terms of performance. It's capable of firing a 1-megawatt blast of invisible infrared 1064nm light that's powerful enough to burn through razorblades, plastic and Styrofoam. OK, so we're not going to be taking down any aliens with it (unless those aliens are very Smurf-like), but it's definitely dangerous. YouTube via Nerd Approved
Homemade TSA scanner
If you thought body imaging scanners were unsettling in the hands of the TSA, imagine how bad a portable version would be in the hands of that creepy neighbor across the street. In the video above, Jeri Ellsworth demonstrates that it is possible to make a primitive version of these scanners using feed horns from satellite dishes. The resolution isn't anywhere near what you would find on an expensive TSA model, but just in case you might want to pick up some Fourth Amendment underwear — and maybe one of those lead-lined vests you get at the dentists office. YouTube via Nerd Approved
Jet Pony ride
I can't say that I would be up to strapping a pulse jet engine to the back of my seat so I could be whipped around in a circle until I was perpendicular with the ground. I mean, have the people in this video even had a proper 30-minute carny jet training course? I'll be sticking to the teacups thank you very much. YouTube
Automatic shaving helmet
Sorry Kojack, this automatic shaving helmet isn't real. It was actually part of a viral video designed to sell head-shaving razors, but as you have seen from the other gadgets in this list, the fact that something is stupid and dangerous isn't always an effective deterrent. In fact, it might be the only real motivating factor. Well, that and YouTube hits. YouTube via Fashionably Geek
Driving a car with an iPhone
When I don't use my blinker on a deserted country road, the cops come out of the trees and hop on the hood of my car like some sort of Terminator. But when some dude ghost rides on top of a car with no doors that's being driven by an iPhone, they're nowhere to be found. Obviously, a hack that would allow you to drive a car with your smartphone is definitely not something you want to try at home, but you can check out the video to see how Waterloo Labs pulled it off. YouTube
The Bacon Bazooka
Remember when I said that I wanted a bazooka that shoots laser-guided chainsaws? Well I've changed my mind. What I really want is an air cannon wrapped in bacon that fires sausage (and maybe a grenade that covers everything within a 20-foot radius with maple syrup). This breakfast bazooka was created for the official observance of Bacon Day in Fayetteville, Ark. If I had my way, Bacon Day would be a national holiday complete with fireworks and a 21-bacon gun salute. YouTube via That's Nerdalicious
Tesla coil car security
What lengths would you go to in order to protect your car from thieves? Alarm systems are more annoying than they are effective, which is why Tesladownunder stepped things up a notch and mounted a tesla coil to the roof of their car. It has a rotating arm that creates a veritable force field of electricity that will shock thieves or, at the very least, mess up their hair. As you will see a the end of the video, long-term exposures create a really dramatic effect. YouTube

Birth dates have significance in many different cultures and can be analyzed in several ways. The study of numerology examines the significance of the number of the day one was born. Astrology relates a person's birth month to the positions of the moons, planets and sun, in order to determine one's astrological sign. The Chinese zodiac references an animal associated with the year of one's birth in order to identify personality characteristics.
Numerology is the study of the significance of numbers. Numerology.com allows a user to search for the day of month he was born, and then provides information about the meaning of that number. Numerology provides information about one's strengths and challenges to develop a personality profile.
Zodiac-Signs-Astrology.com identifies the astrological sign associated with one's month of birth to provide information about strengths and weaknesses, personality characteristics, and how a person interacts with others. For example, a person born between November 23 and December 22 is a Sagittarius.
TravelChinaGuide.com uses a person's birth date to identify the related animal of the Chinese zodiac. For example, a person's birth date might correspond to the year of the tiger. By clicking on the corresponding animal, a user can explore the lucky numbers and colors, personality characteristics, and predictions for the future that are associated with the date.

|Chapter 1:
Chapter 1
In many regards, the diagnosis and treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the United States and Canada are quite similar. Over the last several decades, a growing number of school-aged children in both countries have become officially diagnosed with the disorder and have been prescribed medication for its treatment. American and Canadian children are generally diagnosed using the same clinical criteria as stipulated in the American Psychiatric Association's fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ( DSM-IV; 1994). Beyond similarities in diagnosis, children in both countries are also often treated with the same brands of medication. Additionally, mothers in Canada and the United States are typically exposed to the same types of literature and informational materials about the disorder. Yet, apart from these parallels, there are significant differences between the nations' respective medical systems which have a major bearing on the affordability of health care and routine access to social services to assist ADHD children and their families.

Abortion - Prolife View
Abortion is a simple and safe procedure if it is done by trained medical workers during the first trimester. There are four different techniques utilized during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy. Suction aspiration, also known as vacuum curettage, is the most common surgical means of abortion. This is when a powerful suction tube with a sharp cutting edge is inserted into the womb through the dilated cervix. The suction dismembers the body of the developing baby, tearing the placenta from the wall of the uterus, and sucking blood, amniotic fluids, placental tissue, and fetal parts into a bottle. Although it is one of the safer methods, there are still frequent complications such as infection and tearing of the uterus, causing hemorrhaging.
Dilatation and Curettage (D&C) is another surgical process involving the insertion of a loop shaped steel knife to cut the baby's body into pieces. The placenta is then scraped off the uterine wall. There is a higher risk of infection with D&C and greater blood loss than with Suction aspiration.
RU 486 and Methotrexate are two similar types of chemical abortion. RU 486 is a pill that can be taken orally only during the five to nine week period. Three trips must be made to the abortion clinic. In the first, the RU 486 pill is administered after a physical examination. During the 2nd, 36 - 48 hours later, the woman is given a dose of artificial prostaglandins initiating uterine contractions. This causes the embryonic baby to be expelled from the uterus. The third visit, about two weeks later, can determine whether the abortion has been completed or if further surgery is necessary. Methotrexate is administered by intramuscular injection. It attacks growing cells of the trophoblast, which functions as the life support system for the baby. This injection causes the immediate disintegration of sheltering environment in which the embryo lives. Without food or fluids, the living, helpless fetus dies. This dangerous method is rarely used because of its unpredictable side affects.
The second trimester includes the thirteenth to twenty-eighth week. Dilatation and Evacuation (D&E), similar to D&C, uses forceps with sharp metal jaws to grasp the parts of the baby and tear them away from the body. The baby's skull is often hardened to bone and must sometimes be crushed or compressed. The only side affect is profuse bleeding, and impossible cervical laceration.
The rest of the procedures can be done during either the second or third trimester (the twenty-ninth to fortieth week). The first method is Salt Poisoning, otherwise known as saline amniocentesis. A needle is inserted into the abdomen of the mother. Her amniotic fluid is replaced with a solution of concentrated salt. Upon swallowing the salt, the baby is instantly poisoned. This can also cause painful burning of the baby's skin and deterioration. The baby will die after about an hour. The mother delivers the dead baby after a period of 33 - 35 hours. Some common side affects are seizures, coma, and even death.
Prostaglandins are naturally produced chemical compounds which normally aid in the birthing process. However, the injection of artificial prostaglandins at too early a stage induce violent labor followed by premature birth. Often,...

Have an ice time in Paris
So this is the time of the year when you and your family can enjoy some outdoor family fun on ice! Called patinoires in French, the pop-up ice-skating options in the city are pretty extensive, as the French love to skate around Christmas . There are quite a few ice rinks in Paris but MLP presents the best places for you to enjoy the Christmas season and demonstrate your skating flare.
1. The Eiffel Tower
Yes, the highest rink is Paris is back! Not for the faint-hearted or for vertigo sufferers obviously but if you want panoramic views of the city whilst you glide across the ice then this is the perfect choice. It's not huge and you gotta pay €11 for adults and €4 for children, but what an experience? If you can, try and buy your tickets online to avoid queues! Alternatively, if you go super early like 9.30am or in the evening around 7pm you are less likely to have to queue for long. The skates are free and you can stay as long as you like. Open from December 15 until February 19. The PriceVia the lifts: adults € 11 – 12/24 years younger € 8.50 – children 4/11 years € 4 / via stairs: adults € 7 – 12/24 years young € 5 – children 4/11 years 3 €
Free for children under 4 years.
2. Grand Palais
The Ice Rink at the Grand Palais is an essential Christmas in Paris moment. the building itself is exquisite with its beautiful glass top roof. The location set by the Seine and opposite the Petite Palais is equally stunning, providing the perfect backdrop for a wonderful Parisian moment.
Extending across the 2700 sqm of floor space, the rink is humongous! It is the largest temporary rink in France and promises to provide a memorable moment for you and your family. In the evenings it is scheduled to be open until the early hours of the morning providing 'light' entertainment and beverages too. From December 14 until January 2
Word of warning, it will be busy, so get your tickets in advance or try and get there super early. Prices last year were €15 inclusive of skate rental.
3. The Christmas Village
The ice rink next to the Champs Elysées is very popular and adds a nice dimension to a day trip if you are planning to do some Christmas shopping. It's small, but perfectly formed! The experience will set you back around €10* for adults and €8* for children under 12. It opens on December 15 and runs until January 3rd. *2015/16 prices
4. The Skateway Charlety Stadium
If ice-skating is not enough for you and the appeal of winter snow sports is what you're after as well, then you might want to head to the 13th. At this venue which comes with full on snow and offers sledging, toboggan runs, a snow playground and an ice rink! From December 21 until December 31. 1 avenue Pierre de Coubertin, 75013 .
5. The Trocadero
The Trocadero on ice returns this year. Free if you have skates but if you don't you can rent them on site for a small fee. This location here is great, just opposite the Eiffel Tower, next to the Aquarium and some fabulous museums just up the road! From December 15 to January 3, Price: C'est Gratuit! FREE!
6. Jardin d'Acclimatation
Fabulous place offering guaranteed to fun for the family. Alongside all the other stupendous things going on here like the rides, theatre shows and animals, there is now an ice-rink! Designed for the little people in mind. You probably want to check this out! Bois de Boulogne, 75016 Paris, France
7. Hotel de Ville – sadly not happening this year!
Replaced with a Lego extravaganza! See top Christmas picks for kids for more information.
Probably the most popular ice rink in Paris. Outside the City Hall. Having enjoyed this experience with the kids a few times I can vouch for the fun factor here. It is awesome! The backdrop of the Hotel de Ville is stunning too. But! The date for the patinoire this year has not yet been officially confirmed. MLP checked in with the team there and they told us that maybe it will be up around December 11 but at this point they are unable to confirm! However online sources say it will be open from December 18 until March 1, 2016! It's free too.
8. The Rink at the Zoo
There's a temporary ice rink at the zoo this year. So as well as exploring this fabulous animal zone by Bois du Vincennes, you can check out the Christmas agenda they have planned too. It's great for families and pretty good value when you consider the zoo experience too. From 10am – 8pm. Prices €22, €16.50 €14 for adults, young people and kids respectively. December 2 until January 4.
Embrace winter and these excellent ice rinks in Paris with your family.
Bon Noel.
Love MLP

Class, conscription and the role of anarchists in anti war movements
Everyone has by now heard rumors of a coming military conscription. At first such chatter only wafted through the halls of cyberspace, ignored by the "mainstream media" (as the newspaper editorialists and blow-dried talking heads of the television news are known, who serve as quasi-official spokesmen for the corporations and politicians.)

A couple who are first-time parents took to Instagram to document the birth of their child who they brought into the world all by themselves, at home, without assistance from any medical personnel or anyone at all.
The father, who is a personal trainer, said they were able to do it by having a healthy lifestyle all through the pregnancy; eating well, exercising and all of that. He also said they researched extensively for what to do in case complications arise during birth. He went on to share really graphic photos showing how their baby came into the world.
Couple deliver their first baby at home by themselves without help and share the entire process online (graphic photos)
He captioned one of the photos: "The most magical moment of my life so far was assisting in the delivery of my daughter on to this Earth. No doctors, no midwives, just us, good energy & good vibrations! #InspiredByCoupe #AFatherRole #Natural#HomeBirth #DrCoupe ?????"
There were mixed reactions in the comment section after he shared the story. Some praised him while others pointed out it was risky and should never have been done in the first place.
Ceaser commented: "Y'all did research on how too perform surgery god forbid the baby was born with complications you were trained doctors to fix it. Yeah I get it back in the day women use to do this they also died during childbirth at high rates keep this type of risky stuff to yourself no one else needs this bright idea."

Suddenly I have started getting Error Messages.
On starting up, I get a message,

I ran 'chkdsk c:/r' through Start- Run. I get a message that "The system is NTFS. Cannot open the volume for direct access."
When I continue to use computer, ignoring the messages, I am able to open and use programs, but keep on getting Balloon messages:
"*.exe - corrupt File
"*" keeps on changing (chrome.exe - corrupt File, AdobeCollabSync.exe - corrupt File), depending on what program I am trying to run, or is running in the background.
But the programs run without any problems.
Can somebody help please?

Dear Brethren:
A blessed new year to all!
We ended 2011 with thankful hearts because the Lord made it possible for us to finish our programs victoriously. Praise the Lord!
The concert choir presented the Christmas Cantata on December 11. All the students of ABS performed at Aparri church, graced by their aqua long sleeve for men and aqua dresses for ladies. Their "Searching for the King" theme was brought to different churches in the region. They had splendid performances on songs, interspersed with two different plays – old and modern ones. Once again, another opportunity for our students to display their talents.
To our sponsors-churches and individual brethren, thank you very much for your continued support. We pray that the Lord will bless you more abundantly.
As we entered 2012 after the Christmas season, we welcomed everyone into the new year. This includes the presence of brethren from USA – Bro. Mike Burns, Ma'am Daisy Cajigal, Heidi Miele (Mike's sister), Heather Merchut (Heidi's daughter), and Barbara Burns (Mike's sister-in-law). They came to the Philippines particularly to visit Aparri Bible Seminary, which they're supporting. We just hope they were inspired and encouraged by what they have seen at the seminary. Thank you very much for coming over to see us. Please give room for ABS in your hearts, Ma'am Heidi, Ma'am Barb and Heather.
The team, spearheaded by Ma'am Daisy Aguas Cajigal, also conducted a Health Screening program for the indigents. Faculty and staff, as well as some brethren in the medical profession like Dr. Susan Daquioag and Dr. Belinda Deñola, and some nursing graduates and students came to help. Thank you for your services. To God be the glory.
There were at least two hundred indigents who benefited from the health screening program. They were so happy for each of them also received gift packs of grocery items. We hope such type of program will be repeated anew.
Our visitors left Aparri on January 14 and visited Philippine Bible Seminary (Vigan); then, Baguio, after that, they immediately went to Davao. They left Manila for the USA on January 21. It was rejuvenating on their part leaving their work for sometime. Please visit us again.
To the rest of our benefactors, we thank you for your continued support. We're now enjoying our stay in the new building but continuing to pray that the last phase of the project be finished very soon.
God bless you all.
In Him,
