The Oasis Center was born in the summer of 2015 out of the hard work and dedication of husband and wife, Shane and Robyn Travis. It was Robyn's heart for working with people struggling with disordered eating back in 2001 when she helped build Loma Linda University's Day Treatment Eating Disorder program in Southern California.
It was in California that Robyn began gaining her knowledge and expertise. She became an advocate for Eating Disorder awareness and did outreach on her college campus at California Baptist University. She also expanded the knowledge of eating disorders into the Riverside County community.
When Robyn moved to Keizer, Oregon in 2010, she realized that the Willamette Valley was without treatment options. With the closest treatment centers in Eugene and Portland, the area was left without services that specialized in the Salem-Keizer population. She quickly connected with other professionals in her community interested in helping those in need and started The Oasis Center. Using their savings and a small loan, Shane and Robyn renovated a small office themselves, making it feel warm and welcoming — like a home to the clients they were called to serve.
noun oa·sis \ ō-ˈā-səs \
- a fertile or green area in an arid region (such as a desert)
- something that provides refuge, relief, or pleasant contrast
Words from Robyn
"I want to thank the hard work of my husband Shane for his unconditional love in supporting my vision in creating such a beautiful space for us all. I want to thank our team for putting in so much of yourselves and your personal time in providing a safe place for our community and your clients, and I want to thank God for His blessings and allowing us to create this space to help people heal from their pain and suffering."

I was browsing Google Reader when I came across this:
Titled, "Reading Technology", the comic compares books to video games in a humorous way (siding more in the side of books, while Professor Fishman had provided the satirical description of books to get rid of negative viewpoints of video games). Just thought it'd be a good laugh as we continue to observe and learn about the battle of books and video games in the educational field. 🙂

text: Sections View Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Supplementary Content ++ INTRODUCTION ++ Renal parenchymal disease, also termed medical renal disease, includes various disorders of the glomeruli, interstitium, tubules, and small blood vessels of the kidneys. The clinical spectrum encompasses diseases confined to the kidneys and systemic disorders that secondarily affect the kidneys. Renal parenchymal diseases can be primary, secondary, congenital, hereditary, or acquired. There are various classification schemes. Categorization based on the predominantly affected parenchymal structures recognizes 3 major categories of medical renal disease: glomerular, tubulointerstitial, and vascular (Table 46-1). Many parenchymal diseases, however, substantially involve more than 1 of these anatomic divisions. ++Table Graphic Jump LocationTable 46–1.Renal Parenchymal Diseases in ChildrenView Table|Favorite Table|Download (.pdf) Table 46–1. Renal Parenchymal Diseases in Children Glomerular Acute glomerulonephritis Chronic glomerulonephritis Collagen vascular disease Henoch-Schönlein purpura Alport syndrome Tubulointerstitial Acute tubular necrosis Tubulointerstitial nephritis Vascular Hemolytic uremic syndrome Diffuse cortical necrosis Renal vein thrombosis Sickle cell disease ++ Sonography is the primary imaging technique for evaluation of most diseases of the renal parenchyma. Many renal disorders cause alterations in the echogenicity of the kidney parenchyma. Recognition of the normal changes in kidney echogenicity with age is essential for proper interpretation. The high concentration of glomeruli and prominent cellular volume of the neonatal renal cortex result in greater echogenicity than is typical for older children and adults. The echogenicity of the neonatal renal cortex is equal to or greater than that of the parenchyma of the liver and spleen. The medullary pyramids appear prominent and hypoechoic in the neonate, sometimes resembling dilated calyces to the unwary observer. The renal echogenicity assumes the adult pattern by about the age of 6 months, at which time the cortex is hypoechoic relative to the liver and spleen. The echogenicity of the medulla increases slightly during infancy, but remains hypoechoic to the cortex throughout life. Echogenic renal sinus fat tends to increase somewhat with age, and is scant or absent in the newborn. ++ CLINICAL PRESENTATIONS ++ Acute Renal Failure ++ The definition of acute renal failure is a sudden deterioration in renal function that results in inadequate excretion of nitrogenous wastes. Any insult that produces bilateral renal injury and failure of glomerular filtration can cause acute renal failure. Among these insults are ischemia, toxins, immunological disorders, and obstructive uropathy. In premature infants, dehydration, perinatal asphyxia, and congenital disorders are the most common causes. In older infants, severe dehydration and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) are the most common precipitating events. In older children and adolescents, acute renal failure is most often due to acute glomerulonephritis (GN).1–4 ++ Acute renal failure can be categorized according to the character of the underlying condition. Prerenal azotemia indicates inadequate perfusion of the kidneys. Obstructive uropathy or postrenal azotemia refers to obstruction to the flow of urine. Intrinsic renal failure indicates a process that involves the renal parenchyma itself. ++ Prerenal azotemia ...

How to perform training & awareness for ISO 27001 and ISO 22301
Most of the information security/business continuity practitioners I speak with have the same problem: the employees in their companies don't take them seriously – not only the top managers, but also their peers.
This is due to the fact that the employees usually do not understand what information security or business continuity is all about – in other words, you may have perfect policies and procedures, but simply pushing those to your internal email list won't help. You need to explain to your colleagues why information security and business continuity are needed, and how to perform certain tasks – that's the main purpose of awareness and training.
The training cycle
Both ISO 27001 and ISO 22301 require you to deal with training in a systematic manner, i.e. to perform these steps:
- Define which knowledge and skills are required for particular personnel who have a role in your information security management system (ISMS) or business continuity management system (BCMS) – basically, you need to go through every ISMS or BCMS document and see what knowledge and skills are required of every responsible person mentioned in the document.
- Perform trainings to reach the desired level of knowledge and skills – see below for methods.
- Measure whether each individual has achieved the desired level of knowledge and skills – through testing, interviews, etc. – once you know where the gaps are, you can start again with step #1.
And this is something that needs to be done continuously – either by the CISO / business continuity coordinator, or by the HR department.
Methods of training
Very often, the trainings are planned via the Training plan – for example, you can plan for the following:
- Courses – see this article for more information: How to learn about ISO 27001 and BS 25999-2.
- Reading literature – there are many information security and business continuity books available, as well as magazines.
- Participating in expert forums on the Internet – in some of those you can get very concrete answers to your questions – for example, Expert Advice Community or ISO 27001 security.
- In-house trainings – delivered either by in-house experts, or by hiring consultants, certification bodies or similar.
Methods of awareness-raising
As opposed to trainings, which give an answer to the question "How?", awareness must give an answer to the question "Why?" – that is, explain to your employees why they should accept information security or business continuity.
There are many methods you can use, for example:
- Include employees in documentation development – before you publish the documents, ask your employees to give their inputs (see also: Seven steps for implementing policies and procedures).
- Presentations – organize shorter meetings where you can explain what new policies and procedures are being published, ask your employees for opinions about them, clarify any misunderstandings.
- Articles on your intranet or newsletter – simple stories (with as many examples as possible) that can help employees understand why information security / business continuity are important.
- Discussions through internal forums – you can initiate and participate in concrete questions (and myths) arising from information security / business continuity.
- E-learning – you can create short online trainings that explain the significance of these topics, as well as train your employees.
- Videos – they are a very powerful presentation method – you can distribute them via email, through the intranet, etc.
- Occasional messages (via email or via your intranet) – can be used not only to distribute videos, but also to send relevant news and tips for business continuity.
- Gatherings – use some regular meetings that are organized in your company – e.g., parties, anniversaries, etc. to briefly present what you are doing and how it affects your colleagues.
- And, above all – day-to-day in-person communication – everywhere you go, whomever you speak to – you have to sell the idea of information security / business continuity.
No matter which of these methods you use, the point is that you do them systematically – again, you should prepare some kind of a plan where you should define which of these methods you will perform, and how often.
The implementation myth
So, as I emphasized in this article: The documentation myth – Why the templates are not enough?, simply writing the policies and procedures won't be enough – you need to use awareness and trainings as a helping tool to enable the documentation to be implemented.
However, the timing here is also crucial: many companies make the mistake of publishing all of their documents at once. For example, if you publish 30 policies and procedures at the same time, then unfortunately, not even the best awareness programs can help you – your employees will (very correctly) start to think of your information security / business continuity as overkill.
Therefore, you have to publish your documentation gradually – the speed of publishing your new documents must be not be the speed of developing them, but the speed by which your employees will be able to accept them via your training and awareness programs.
See here a series of 25 free security awareness videos that can be easily understood by any employee in your company.

hello Dejan
where can I find any annals of the exam, otherwise where can I get exercices to warm up before the exam ?
thanks for enlightening.
Besides the webinar I mentioned in the article, I'm not sure if there are any preparation exercises.
Why would anyone bother with this expensive and obscure cert? Is a $100,000 salary guaranteed?
Not sure that I agree with your second paragraph. In my experience, the main reason that (some) staff don't take Information Security seriously is because they never see any evidence of the need for it, or the results it achieves. (Unless their organisation suffers a major data breach! ) Typically, new business wins are loudly trumpeted throughout an organisation; also, the opening of a new office or other major internal project successes. But how often do InfoSec teams publish details of the numbers/types of external attacks thwarted? How can they expect to be appreciated by ordinary employees, if no-one ever sees the evidence of their (successful) work?
You have a good point, and that's why information security has to have close ties to business objectives, because, as you mentioned, details about numbers/types of external attacks are not often published (for a good reason). But if, let's say, you link security efforts to systems availability, or wining a bidding or contract where information security requirements are a critical differential, then employees can start seeing the value of information security.

Taqueria Don Victor No. 2 is a wonderland of tacos de guisado, or stew tacos. It's also a great spot for carnitas.
The picture menu on the wall above the kitchen advertises more than 70 dishes, but there's one off-menu item not pictured that you'll definitely want to order. That's Don Victor's special Mexico City-style quesadilla, which is like a giant taco made with a freshly pressed 10-inch corn tortilla and stuffed with compressed chicharrón, or chicharrón prensado.
For chicharrón prensado, meaty pork rinds are pressed into a block, sort of like head cheese, then crumbled and stewed, in this case with chile verde. It makes a terrific taco de guisado, and it makes an even better quesadilla, especially when it's garnished with shredded lettuce and queso fresco. One quesadilla makes a substantial meal.
When examining the guisados in the mile-long steam table, you might notice a large vat of chile verde with what looks like omelets floating on top. That's exactly what it is, and this makes a great taco, especially for breakfast. You'll end up eating it with a knife and fork, like an open-faced egg sandwich, rather than with your fingers. As with the quesadilla, a single order makes a meal.
Meanwhile, the carnitas are fantastic. But even better than the straight-up carnitas is the surtido, which is essentially "loaded carnitas." The word surtido means "assortment," which refers to all the bits and pieces of the pig that are cooked together with the pork butt when making carnitas. At Don Victor, the surtido is a mix of carnitas, cueritos (softened pork rind) and buche (stomach). It's mostly meat, though, and all those various bits and pieces meld together to create an incredibly savory taco.
Oh, and if you like menudo (and vintage Mexican westerns on TV), this is the place.

This September saw the launch of the Leaf Scheme for student reps. The scheme aims to recognise and reward reps for all the hard work they do in their schools. Since launching we've had 132 submissions from reps, and thirty one reps have collected awards! Things reps can do to qualify for an award range from completing their online training, to organsing a social event, to writing a paper for Union council. The Leaf Scheme has been fantastic tool both for the student rep team to see what the reps are up to, but also for allowing reps the chance to be recognised for all the work they do to help and support their fellow students.
Sarah, the Postgraduate Education Officer said about the scheme: 'It is not a surprise to me that the Leaf Scheme has been the success that it has been this semester. Not only because of the hardworking and inspirational team who run it but also the amazing student reps that I've had the pleasure to meet and work with so far this year. I've been blown away by just how pro-active, motivated and passionate about Sussex student-life they are. It really hits home for me how Sussex is more than just the lectures we attend and how getting involved beyond the classroom can cultivate a sense of belonging and community.'
We've had some amazing submissions from reps this year including an article from Abigail Berhane about Equality in Engineering, news of all the exciting events reps are organising and issues they are tackling in their schools and even a fantastic poem from Renisha Dornelly-Greenidge. We look forward to the Leaf scheme continuing in the new year and are excited to reward more reps!
Below is a short extract from Renisha's poem which we love:

Quirkii has been set up to import and manufacture a quality range of scrapbooking and stationery products to distribute through retailers and online. The stationery products are available from retailers such as Officeworks either in store or through their website. The scrapbooking products are only available on our website.
We saw an opening in the market for quality scrapbooking products when creative memories disappeared from the market place. We spend a lot of time developing the strap range of pages, protectors and albums to be compatible with the current creative memories pages and albums.
The pages will fit into the current creative memories albums so that you can keep adding pages and use your current albums, the colour of the pages is very close to the last ones available. These pages are the exact size not like others in the market that will not fit n exact 12×12 page. The page protectors will fit over the current pages.
We will have a range of album colours available very soon with some current favourite colours plus some new ideas for you. In the future we are developing new exciting product ranges for the scrapbooking market that will be exclusive to the Quirkii brand that we hope you will enjoy using as much as we are enjoying sourcing and manufacturing for you.


text: The glomeromycetes are of great ecological importance. Many plants form mycorrhizal associations with these fungi. This LM shows glomeromycete hyphae (stained dark blue) within a plant root. This phyla contains only 160 species. The glomeromycetes were considered to be part of the Phylum Zygomycetes. rRNA sequences show that the glomeromycetes form a seperate monophyletic clade. Glomeromycetes have coencytic mycelia and reproduce asexually through spores, with spore clusters being found near plant roots. This group is extremely important ecologically, as nearly all of them form arbuscular mycorrhizae with the roots of seed plants or the thalli of byrophytes.

Norwalk has many crowns
To the Editor:
One would not call me a golfer, although I have played at Oak Hills, but anyone who knows me would call me a strong advocate for the City of Norwalk. I love this city, have lived here for more than 80 years, worked here and did and do public service in Norwalk.
Paul (Cantor "Oak Hills park plan is badly conceived"), there are several crowns in Norwalk, e.g Calf Pasture Beach, Taylor Farms, Norwalk Symphony, Norwalk Community College, too many of the parks in town to name them, and many of the features of the Norwalk school system, such as the music departments of the high schools, the school for Global Studies and I will include Oak Hills Golf Course.
I read your criticism of OHGC, primarily financial or economic as well as its use by a small number of locals and taxpayers.
I would hope that you would consider that not a majority of us use all of aforementioned crowns, but as taxpayers we support them. In addition, our property values increase because of these crowns.
Yes, we need our representatives, Common Council, etc. to spend our tax money wisely.
I hope they and you take into consideration the message above.

Jake La Botz, a very talented musician, has started a new Facebook group, Inhumans of New York. We saw Jake playing with our dear friends Andy York and Ira Elliot at Bait & Tackle a few weeks ago in Red Hook.
That's Jake in the fancy cowboy shirt.
At Vintrowear, we like mannequins too.
How to be a Steampunk Cowboy for Halloween
September 28, 2013 § 1 Comment
Step 1: Do your research. An infallible and encyclopedic resource is The Look of the Old West by William Foster-Harris. You should also consult I See by Your Outfit: Historic Cowboy Gear of the Northern Plains by Tom Lindmier and of course Vintrowear's own Get Your Old West On: Real Cowboys and the Shirts They Wore.
Step 2: Get in the mood. I find that Cowboys & Longhorns: A Portrait of the Long Drive by Jerry Stanley will do the trick. As will Hillbilly Hollywood by Debby Bull for the bling quotient. Also anything on Wild Bill Hickok.
Step 3: Start building your costume. Refer to your Foster-Harris frequenty. To whit, the big picture:
And don't forget the details:
Step 4: Get yourself a good shirt.
Step 5: Party down like these people.
Happy almost Halloween month!

But tonight the rain's pourin' down on our roof. As long as the damn thing doesn't start leaking again, we'll be just fine! On January 29, 2012, Vintrowear began its great southernward migration, camping out along the way, enduring privations and hardship, an arduous months long journey to reach the land of milk and honey: Brooklyn. Take us home, Flat Rate!
A heartfelt thanks to the many friends who hosted these wayward travelers, who gave us a place to lay our heads during our months of homelessness. We made it here, but we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you.

SDN blogs: OpenDaylight and network policy; SDN, app availability
This week, SDN bloggers took a look at OpenDaylight and network policy; applications, SDN and availability in the network; and a third competitor in the SDN space.
A new SDN competitor for VMware and Cisco?
On the Gartner blog site, analyst Andrew Lerner took a look at the Cisco ACI versus VMware debate -- and he questions if a third player could be joining the game shortly. Recent industry news sparked Lerner's interest. Brocade's announcement of its flagship OpenDaylight-based platform, along with HP's announcement of its SDN app store, are signs that the race to SDN is not for two competitors alone. Lerner also includes a link to a Gartner white paper that examines how HP's app store needs an open platform to really make an impact.
Take a look at Lerner's post in its entirety to learn more about a possible third-party SDN competitor.
OpenDaylight and network policy
OpenDaylight's Helium release is sparking conversations regarding network policy, writes The Networking Nerd's Tom Hollingsworth. Helium contains group-based policies that enable network devices to talk to one another. That means Helium users don't necessarily need to be well-versed in code.
Helium is a sign that OpenDaylight will remain a policy-driven controller infrastructure. In Hollingsworth's opinion, the OpenDaylight controller will be the front-running controller for SDN, which means it will need to set a standard for network interaction -- or policy. Policy will play a crucial role in the future of network interfaces, which is what makes OpenDaylight so important.
Read more about OpenDaylight's impact on network policy in Hollingsworth's full post.
Applications and availability in the network
On the Plexxi company blog, author Mike Bushong looks at high availability for applications keeping in mind device uptime and design. App availability and experience tend to be the barometer for measuring infrastructure success. Meanwhile, it's biased to gauge performance solely by device uptime, he writes. Bushong added that the industry views availability in not the best way, by designing for correctness versus architecting for resilience.
Bushong also touches on application resiliency and how SDN provides a useful architectural framework for fast failover. In the end, Bushong concludes that architecting and implementing the "perfect" device in a perfect network is possible, but it does mean a change in design criteria.
Check out Bushong's applications and availability post in its entirety.

Once you've downloaded your Arma 3 Mission, you will need to get the mission on the server.
How to upload a Mission File to the server.
Method 1 - File Manager
Navigate to the File manager section of your Control panel.
Upload the mission to the "vilayercodecustom\mission\custom_pbo" folder, using the upload button just bellow the blue bar.
Method 2 - FTP Client
Please see this article on how to setup your FTP Client to connect:
Navigate to your "vilayercodecustom\mission\custom_pbo" folder and upload your mission here.
Why do you upload the mission to this folder?
We use this file structure because quite often people attempt to overwrite a mission in the MpMissions folder which can't be accesed while the server is running, also we have a very sophisticated backend which allows users to both have auto install mods / missions and or upload their own.
How do I make my server run the mission?
Go into the configuration files and text editor for server.cfg
Mission Cycle
At the bottom of your server.cfg you have a section where you can pre-load your missions for when the server starts up. Take the name of the mission file you just placed in the folder and put it in the mission cycle section. Below is an example
- If the mission file you downloaded was called "Mission1.Altis.pbo
" then you would put in the mission cycle section
class Missions{ class Wasteland { template="Mission1.Altis"; difficulty="Regular"; };Take note that you do not put the ".pbo" on the end of the map template. The .Altis at the end of the map name tells the server what map the server is going to use, the first part is just the name of the mission you are going to play.
If its left blank, on server startup people will be able to vote for a map of their choice, rather than the one you want.
How do I add multiple missions to cycle through?
Well, the same as above, but with multiple mission classes.
class Missions{
class Mission1
class Mission2
class Mission3
class Mission4
Can I have different maps in the mission cycle?
Yes, you can cycle between different maps, I.e. Altis, Stratis and Virtual Reality.
Can I have missions that require different mods?
Yes, but you need to initialize all the mods via the CommandLine Manager, you can't turn mods on and off without
restarting the server.
Can I have different difficulties?
Yes, set them per mission.
What happens if I leave the mission section blank?
When players join they will be able to vote for missions in your MPMission folder. (If you're logged in as Admin you can force a particular mission)

Coillte launched a new Charter of Commitment to the Peoples' Millennium Forests recently. The launch event took place at Ballygannon Millennium Forest, Rathdrum, County Wicklow, as part of a Native Woodland Conference organised by the Woodlands of Ireland.
The People's Millennium Forests is an all-Ireland initiative and is the largest-ever project aimed at restoring and managing Ireland's native forests. Twelve of the sixteen Peoples' Millennium Forests around the country are owned and managed by Coillte.
Speaking ahead of the launch, Gerard Murphy, Managing Director of Coillte Forest, said, "This Charter of Commitment underpins Coillte's ongoing recognition of the Peoples' Millennium Forests. We will continue, in partnership, with the Woodlands of Ireland to ensure that these Forests are protected and enhanced for the benefit of the public over many generations to come."
Ballygannon Wood forms part of The Vale of Clara, one of the most important native oak forests in Ireland. In 2000, Coillte restored Ballygannon as a native forest; a 1960s plantation forest was removed and more than 40,000 young native trees of oak, birch, holly, rowan and Scots pine were planted. The young trees were grown by Coillte from seeds collected in County Wicklow.
Almost 20 years on, these young planted trees have developed to form a new, vibrant, native forest community, rich in both plant and animal life. The young forest will continue to grow for hundreds of more years, developing into an ecologically mature forest.
You can view a signed copy of Coillte's new charter of commitment by clicking here.
All of the Peoples' Millennium Forests are open to the public. Find out more at www.millenniumforests.com

Highlights of White Elephant Safari Lodge
- Romantic tented camp
- Overlooks the shimmering waters of Lake Jozini
- Variety of activities – game drives, walks, sunset boat cruises, tiger fishing
- "Space for elephant" monitoring programme
White Elephant Safari Lodge is an elegant, colonial lodge in the beautiful Pongola Game Reserve which lies at the foot of the majestic Lebombo Mountains in the northern KZN in South Africa. White Elephant Lodge has a stunning setting, overlooking the shimmering waters of Lake Jozini. Exactly 100 years after the last sighting of elephant in the Pongola area, two breeding herds of elephant were reintroduced 15 years ago. Now you encounter not only thriving herds of elephant but also a variety of antelope, wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, hyena and rhino.
White Elephant Lodge is a romantic evocative retreat which makes an ideal relaxing game and nature experience especially if you are travelling onto the Kruger. The 1920's homestead is exquisitely furnished with antiques. Outside is a lovely rim flow pool with sun loungers on the wooden pool deck. Paths lead to eight luxury tents, each thoughtfully decorated with crisp white linen, teak furniture, ceiling fan, dressing table and day beds on the deck. The bathroom has a double basin, and a ball and claw bath in front of huge French windows which can be drawn back to give the sensation of bathing in the open air.
What we like about White Elephant Lodge and the Pongola Game Reserve is the variety of activities on offer – not just open top 4×4 game drives, but bush walks, sunset boat cruises, Tiger fishing (for novices or the experienced), and the chance to join the acclaimed 'Space for Elephants' elephant monitoring programme.
White Elephant is not a 'big five' safari experience and so ideally it should be combined with another game lodge in the Kruger Park or KZN. It's great to combine with the beach lodges of Thonga or Rocktail only 2 hours away. You may like to spend two nights here and two nights on safari at Phinda or Thanda to the south as the safari experience is so different. In the Pongola reserve, you are not focused on ticking off animals but rather on having a holistic safari experience.

It's rare to find well-preserved Neanderthal skeletal fragments. It's especially rare to find well-preserved Neanderthal ribs and vertebrae since these bones are more fragile than skulls and limb bones. But ribs and vertebrae are particularly helpful for discerning the shape of this related species's thoracic cage and spine.
The recent Kebara 2 Neanderthal find (nicknamed "Moshe"), with very well-preserved vertebrae and ribs, was a particularly exciting find. Patricia Kramer, professor and chair of anthropology at University of Washington, has created a 3-D image deducing what the shape of Moshe's thorax must have been, and there are some surprises. One surprise is especially interesting: the Neanderthal lumbar spine was practically straight! This was a great surprise to the researchers since they were expecting that Neanderthals, who are quite... Read more

Keighlians Crooks and Canes
All our Shepherds Crooks, Walking Sticks, Thumb Sticks and Cattle Show Canes are fashioned from specially selected timbers within the Barossa Valley here in South Australia. Occasionally African Rosewood and Ebony from Kenya are used for special Walking Canes. The Handles and Crooks are made from a variety of Rams Horn, Asian Water Buffalo Horn, Red, and Fallow deer, some Elk antler when available, Wild Goat Horn, along with Highland Cattle Horn.
Australian hard woods such as Sheoak, Red and Blue Gum, Spotted Gum, Mulga, Black Bean, Gawler Bottle Brush, The shanks are made from Granny Smith Apple, Blackthorn, Firethorn, Mulga, Olive, Plumb, and Purpleheart just to name a few are all carefully crafted into unique styles to suite most needs. Commission work is preferred, and where possible customers designs could be undertaken.
I am very lucky in that the Ram and Ewe horns come from the Wiltshire Horn breed of sheep and sauced from a very prominent stud in NSW, Mr Jason O'Loghlin of O'Loghlin Wiltshire Horn Stud Deniliquin NSW, and just like his sheep the horns are of a superior quality, this breed of sheep are probably the last of the British Breeds that have horns left in Australia.
My grateful thanks Jason and his Family.

It is her permanent shrine which we created after 30 days of mourning at her altar:

 and it now stands under the window, by the tiger named Lilly, who she was never afraid of:

Here you can see it at it's permanent place, and you already saw it in one of the pictures from our Secret Paw post:

This is a close up of it, it has a star on top because Anastasia now is a star. And the sun. And we all know she is cat enough to do both jobs!!! There are windows for six pictures and the whole box turns around on it's base.

And there are many many things inside! Some of her favorite toys. Some dried shrimp. The poem I wrote. Monte's picture. More pictures of herself. One of the booklets she wrote with me. Gifts from other cats.

Anastasia we miss you sooo much.
We will ALWAYS love you!

At the base of a desert hill on the West side of <st1:city st="on"><st1:place st="on">Tucson</st1:place></st1:city> lives a nice lady who feeds the feral cats who show up around her barn. One day a little kitten showed up with the bunch – clearly no one of the other cats was her mother, and there weren't any siblings either.

The food was put out on a table and the little thing just barely reached the corner of it with her claws and pulled herself up with all her might to eat.

The lady decided to trap the kitten and have her spayed and brought to the animal shelter for adoption.

The evening after she was caught it happened that my butler was over there for dinner and saw the little kitten sitting in the large trap, looking really pitiful.

He took her out and gave her some food – which she gulped down – and wrapped her in a piece of cloth and she started purring and purring. So he decided to take her home and raise her and look for a home for her.

That is how I met Anastasia. He brought her in and sat her on the bed and I just stared at her incredulously. But she was so small, and helpless, and needy, I couldn't resist – I went over and started cleaning her – and we just instantly connected. This was in early December of 2004.

She was just a human handful of bones and skin, and a big belly full of worms, which she freely shared with all of us…

For the next weeks the staff never got to see her except when I was around. She would hide behind shelves, or under the bathtub, or under the bed until I came in and called for her and then she would come out and I would clean her, and snuggle with her, and play with her.

A bit later, when the staff actually saw her move from one place to another they joked that she had no legs – she would always run fast and crouched down almost on her belly… But when they caught her sleeping somewhere and petted her she would purr very loudly – after of course first hissing at them!

She would always watch my every move and learned everything from copying me. For weeks she would sit in the morning and watch the maid and me play with the string toy. Just sit and watch.

And then one morning she would come and join and ever since I couldn't play anymore because she would cut in… but I didn't care, I just let her.

On a Tuesday evening at 9 pm late January 2005 we were playing around when all of a sudden she would behave strangely: She'd roll around in front of me, and meow like I had never heard her meow before, and then lay and put up her behind and look at me over the shoulder… I felt like I needed to step over her and bite her on the neck but then what? It was the weirdest thing! I realized that the very next morning the maid made a call to the vet – and Anastasia was gone for a couple of hours and when she came back she had a shaved belly with some stitches on it and I guess she had her "cut –remove-and stitch" ritual, as she called it.

It must have hurt but she played and jumped and wrestled like nothing had happened. That's how tough she was!

A while after that she when she was almost full grown she was allowed to join me in coming outside and I showed her around the neighborhood. She would follow me most of the time but when I went on my long hunts she'd stay close to the house. She would never go far, but she would also never allow anybody to get close to her, ever! It took almost two years before she let the maid or the butler sometimes touch her outside. And only when she felt like it, mostly she would run away if approached. But the distances would get shorter until you actually could not call it running away anymore but teasing!

She was a good hunter, very fast! She loved to eat spiders, and moth, and cycads. And play with butterflies. And while I was going for rats and little rabbits, she would go for the smaller kangaroo rats and mice. Eat them up top to bottom with no waste! One day the maid heard the crunching of bones and went to see what Anastasia was eating. And she was just munching on the behind of a kangaroo rat, swallowed it up and all that was left on the ground was the tail. And then she would pick that up too and slurp it down as if it was a piece of spaghetti!

She was a very funny cat! Always made everybody laugh with her haughty attitude and stubborn independence.

To be continued....

Mediterranean Book Event
Water Scarcit, Security, and Democracy: A Meditarranean Mosaic
Edited by Francesca de Chatel, Gail Host-Warhaft and Tammo Steenhuis
A water conference was held to discuss the following questions: What legal, scientific, political and economic management tools can be brought to the table to reduce the risks? And what are the dangers of neglecting water risks? Are changes in water management likely to exacerbate political and social tensions? Is a democratic approach to the equitable use of scarce water resources possible? What role can scientists, legislators, NGO's and international bodies, business leaders, artists and private individuals play in reducing water risk and creating a basis for successful management of an increasingly scarce global resource.
This talk will discuss Ottoman state's wartime policy of absorbing Armenian women and children into Muslim households andinstitutions, a process that constituted an integral part of what came to be known as the Armenian genocide. Dr. Ekmekciogluwill analyze the postwar policies of the Armenian Patriarchate in Istanbul regarding abducted and forcibly Islamized womenand children. This historical episode in which both the perpetrator and victim share the same norms, values, descent rules, andassumptions about each sex's nature and culture, exposes how and why women matter to national, ethnic, and state projects,especially for those in crisis.

After site-visits and meetings in Crete, Argos, and Oinofitos with local officials, Greek scientists and activists, members of Cornell's Mediterranean Water Group organized a conference and round-table at the Athens Planetarium attended by Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and visitors from other Mediterranean countries discussed fresh water issues in Greece and the eastern Mediterranean.Participation by members of the public, the scholarly community, environmental activist groups and students from Greece and neighboring Mediterranean countries was welcome.
Conference Organizers:
Director, Mediterranean Initiative, Institute for European Studies Adjunct Professor, Classics and Comparative Literature
Assistant Professor Dep. of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture Agricultural University of Athens
The Water Project 2007
Global warming, industrialization, intensive agriculture, tourism, the construction of large dams and rising population have all contributed to make fresh water a contentious commodity in the region. This major new initiative was launched in fall of 2007 to address what is seen as one of the major crises of the 20th century. A combination of conferences, workshops, and other special events, this initiative also produced an interdisciplinary graduate course (Water and Culture in the Mediterranean: A Crisis? (BEE 754), Law (779), D.Soc 694) that is coordinated by Gail Holst-Warhaft (CIES, NES, Com Lit., Classics, Law), Tammo Steenhuis (BEE), and Keith Porter (Law). A popular course, it was taught for a second time in spring 2008.In connection with this project, Cornell signed official Memorandums of Understanding with the American Universities in Beirut and Cairo.
Turkey: Culture, Change & Development 2005
Southeastern Anatolia was, until recently, under-developed and isolated from the sophisticated urban centers of western Turkey and regarded as the "forgotten Turkey." It was also a center of racial and ethnic conflict, particularly between Turks and Kurds. As Turkey prepared for discussions about membership in the European Union, it was felt Southeastern Anatolia would be a major focus of concern, not only because of its economic and social problems, but also because its borders with Iraq and Syria make it one of the most important strategic areas in the world today.
Academic lectures and forums were intertwined with cultural events throughout the week. Events included a photography exhibition, Turkish artists and craftspeople selling their crafts in a sumptuous Ottoman tent in Willard Straight Hall Gallery, lectures, book readings, and film screenings. The week culminated with a musical performance of Anatolian and other Turkish melodies by the Cornell Middle Eastern Ensemble.
European Turkey 2004
This forum took as its themes: the creation of the modern Turkish state, Turkey's development since the second World War, minorities in Turkey, European fears of Islamic fundamentalism, Turkey's bid to join the E.U., and the role of trade and economic development in creating and maintaining Turkey's secular status.
Morocco 2004
Cornell Institute for European Studies (CIES) presented a week of activities focused on Morocco and its relations with Europe, past and present.
Theodorakis Poetry 2004
This event combined a reading of selected poems by Mikis Theodorakis, a concert, and a book signing. Professor Gail Holst-Warhaft translated.
Cyprus 2003
This forum included leaders of the Turkish and Greek municipalities of Nicosia and scholars who observed Cyprus before and after the opening of the Green Line. It included a panel of specialists on other areas in Europe where contending ethnic communities have been or continue to be physically separated by walls or other impenetrable borders. The aim of this forum was not to retrace the history of the Cyprus dispute, but to concentrate on the effects of the separation on the population of the island, to consider the U.N.'s role as a mediator between the Turkish and Greek communities, and to examine the effects of the recent border crossings on both sides.

CREDIT: This story was first seen in the Huffington Post
Free school meals eligibility cuts go ahead following vote for universal credit changes – charities claim up to a million youngsters will lose out, the Huffington Post reports.
Tory and DUP MPs have voted for controversial cuts to free school meals in England – despite protecting Northern Ireland from similar curbs.
Labour staged a last-gasp bid to block the changes to universal credit benefit thresholds, but was defeated by 312 votes to 254. Crucially, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) – which is propping up Theresa May's government – backed the government. Nine DUP MPs sided with 302 Conservatives.
Charities and other campaigners claim that the welfare reforms mean that up to a million children will be denied eligibility for free lunches.
English families on universal credit will see the income threshold for free school meals slashed to £7,400 a year, HuffPost revealed last weekend.
Yet in Northern Ireland, where the government has just taken direct control of spending budgets, the same threshold for eligibility will be nearly double that rate, at £14,000.
Shadow education secretary Angela Rayner told HuffPost: "Tory and DUP MPs may have forced through changes that will hit the poorest families the hardest, but Labour will continue fighting for decent childcare and opposing the Tories' decision to deny free school meals to up to a million of England's most deprived children.
"The next Labour government will extend childcare provision and provide free school meals for all primary school children."
She added that Labour's pressure, the conservatives had now been forced to delay closing the childcare vouchers scheme for at least another six months.
"Theresa May clearly now has neither a majority nor a mandate for abolishing childcare vouchers and they must bring any final decision back to Parliament for a meaningful vote."
The Children's Society has predicted one million children would be denied eligibility to free school meals under the plans.
Its figure was based on what would happen if current transitional arrangements, which give every family on universal credit the right to free school meals, were rolled out nationwide.
But Work and pensions secretary Esther McVey and education secretary Damian Hinds both rejected those figures.
They accused Labour of scaremongering and insisted that 50,000 more youngsters would benefit than at present.
The Children's Society and the Resolution Foundation think tank have warned that because of the way that universal credit is calculated, parents will face a 'cliff edge' where they lose out if they earn a penny over the £7,400 threshold in England.
Those with one child will need to earn an extra £1,100 a year to cover the cost of school meals.
The regions worst affected by child poverty stand to lose the most from the proposed eligibility criteria.
In London 212,000 children are projected to miss out on free school meals, in the West Midlands with 130,000 children and the North West 130,000 children.
At the moment, all children in all households that have been switched to universal credit also qualify for free school meals.
But as many current benefits aren't eligible for the extra help, the government worries that once the system is rolled out nationally that would lead to a dramatic expansion in the numbers entitled to the hot lunches.
The Government insists that the £7,400 threshold for England is more generous than the current £6,240 threshold for those not yet on universal credit.

#BundtBakers is a group of Bundt loving bakers who get together once a month to bake Bundts with a common ingredient or theme. We taking turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient. The host for this month is Andrea who writes Adventures in All Things Food.
It took me forever to decide on what type of Bundt cake to make. Nothing stood out to me as worthwhile to switch up the ingredients and I couldn't pick a flavor profile. I had just worked with apples and will be working with pumpkin next month. Berries are getting harder to find in the stores as their season ends and making a chocolate cake "skinny" seemed to easy.
Finally I decided on this recipe using fresh oranges because I was convinced by the Wegman's employee to try and buy their freshly squeezed orange juice. Inspired by the flavor and lack of additional ingredients in the juice, I decided to find a recipe that worked with the fresh juice and could go for some additional lightening up.
Source: I Knead to Eat
Servings: 1 Bundt cake, 12-16 slices
Printer Friendly
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- ¾ cup freshly squeezed orange juice (about 3 oranges)
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 eggs
- 3 tbsp 1% milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 6 tbsp orange zest
- Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp fresh orange juice
- pinch of salt
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
3. In another bowl whisk together the orange juice, applesauce, eggs, milk, and vanilla.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and add the orange zest. Stir until combined.
5. Pour into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the counter.
6. Meanwhile, combine the powdered sugar, orange juice, vanilla and pinch of salt into a bowl. Whisk together until a thick glaze forms. Add more powdered sugar to thicken, more orange juice to thin it out.
7. Run a knife around the edges of the Bundt pan. Place a plate on top and flip over, dislodging the cake onto the plate. Drizzle the glaze on top, slice and serve.
I switched out the oil for applesauce and while the recipe didn't specify what type of milk to use, I used 1%. I thought this cake turned out pretty well but it was a little more dense than I was expecting it to be. It wasn't bad, it would just be nice to enjoy with your morning cup of tea or coffee.
