Poem Friday – Another Cup Of Tea In The Pot
Have not done a poem in a while
Sun on my back, that warm feeling in the winter makes me smile
I love the mornings, fresh and early to rise
Got up had my cold shower, cleaned my teeth and exercise
Took the dog for a walk down to the lake
The air so still with mist on top, natural beauty not fake
So here I am with toast marmalade and tea
A Simple pleasure, Body, Soul and me
Great Start to the day, really don't want to move, just enjoying this lot
Well why should I, there is still another cup of tea in the pot

In Australia, a dog/bird experiment with potentially global significance for conservation is taking place. On a tiny island near the Victorian coastal town of Warrnambool, Maremma Sheepdogs (livestock guardian dogs) are hard at work protecting Little Penguins, the smallest of the penguin species. And not only are the birds thriving and breeding, predation losses from foxes — their chief killers — have ceased.
No penguins have been killed by foxes since the program began and the population increased from 10 to over 200.

Poland has a 'glow in the dark' bicycle path that is powered by the sun. The asphalt contains synthetic particles called "luminophores," which at night emit power captured from sunlight, creating the electric blue hue. TPA says the glow lasts up to 10 hours, according to Polish newspaper Gazeta Olsztyńska.

Hans Gruber from the movie Die Hard was Alan Rickman's very first role in a feature movie
On Alan Rickman's first day of shooting he filmed the scene where Hans Gruber first runs into John McClane. He made a jump off the ledge about three feet high. He injured his knee when he landed and damaged some cartilage in his knee. He was told by his doctor not to put any weight on that leg and he had to use crutches for a week. For the rest of the scene where Hans Gruber is standing and talking to John McClane, Alan Rickman is standing on one leg for the entire time and has a leg brace on under his pants.
The Nakatomi tower is actually the headquarters of 20th Century Fox. The company charged itself rent for the use of the then-unfinished building.
According to legend there was once a widowed father who was so poor he feared his daughters would never marry and would have to resort to prostitution to get by. Wanting to help St Nicholas slid down their chimney one night and saw their laundered stockings hanging by the fire so he filled them with gold. This act of charity prevented them from becoming hookers. That is why we hang stockings at Xmas.

The Benefits Of Zinc For Protection From The Sun
Zinc oxide is made from zinc, a type of metallic element found in nature. Like other elemental metals, including iron or electrolytes like magnesium, zinc is able to carry a certain electric charge that gives it special benefits within the body. Zinc Oxide has a benefit to the immune system, digestive tract, brain and skin. It is a "building block" for protein synthesis, enzyme creation, and metabolic processes.
Zinc oxide is not naturally occurring, but rather created when zinc is chemically heated and combined with oxygen molecules. The two elements are vaporized, condensed, and formed into a powder that is fine, white, crystallized and sits on top of the skin providing a protective layer.
Zinc Oxide as I know it always left a white creamy film on your face when applied but now with an advanced formula this is not so and is now more widely accepted as a sunscreen.
Zinc Oxide has now found to have many great benefits:
- Helping to lower skin inflammation associated with rashes, allergies or irritation (including diaper rash)
- Providing broad-spectrum sun protection that prevents burns (including on photo-sensitive skin)
- Providing protection from skin cancer/neoplasia (basal cell carcinoma)
- Improving wound healing and preventing bacterial infections
- Aiding in recovery of burns and damaged tissue
- Helping to treat acne breakouts
- Keeping moisture locked into dry skin
- Reducing dandruff
- Treating warts
- Lowering inflammatory dermatoses (including rosacea)
- Treating pigmentary disorders (melasma)
- Preventing aging of the skin
- Improving synthesis of collagen and forming of new connective tissue
I personally have been a little dubious of a lot of the sunscreens as they have some quite toxic chemicals in the ingredients. On the other hand Zinc Oxide is a natural alternative that has been proven to be beneficial to the skin at the same time giving it protection from the elements.
Zinc is a mineral and has the ability to sit atop the skin and scatters away the ultraviolet rays. Due to the Zinc's ability to do this you will probably find a small amount in most commercial sunscreens. Most chemical commercial sunscreens include the ingredient oxybenzon which is said to irritate the skin because of its toxicity.
Most commercial sunblock only protect you from either UVA or UVB rays, but not both types, hence more toxic chemicals are added to try to stop the sun burn.
- Zinc oxide is a substance created from zinc and oxygen which is usually found in powder form, but added to many lotions, ointments, sunscreens and rash creams.
- Zinc oxide has been found to have natural antiseptic and antibacterial abilities. Other benefits include healing epidermal wounds, burns, rashes, skin oiliness, infections and acne.
- Unlike many chemical sunscreens, zinc oxide protects against UVA and UVB light rays and is often used as a natural, non-toxic sunscreen to prevent burns, signs of photo-aging and irritation.
So when you next look at buying a sunscreen or actually changing your sunscreen immediately it is worth looking for a good Zinc Cream.
The cream that I use and the family use is the 'Invisable Zinc' product which came recommended to me.
You are able to purchase these on Amazon.

[Episcopal Diocese of Central New York] The Very Rev. Dr. DeDe Duncan-Probe was elected Aug. 6, to be the 11th bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Central New York.
Duncan-Probe currently serves as the rector of St. Peter's in the Woods Church in Fairfax Station, Virginia.
She was elected on the second ballot at a special convention held at the Holiday Inn in Liverpool, New York, receiving 87 votes in the lay order and 42 votes in the clergy order. On that ballot, 75 lay votes and 37 clergy votes were needed for an election.
"We give thanks to God that the Very Rev. Dr. DeDe Duncan-Probe has been elected bishop of Central New York. She is an extraordinarily qualified leader with a strong vision for the 21st-century church, and she truly loves the people and places of Central New York. We look forward to serving with her in ministry," said the Rev. Christine Day, chair of the Diocesan Standing Committee and rector of All Saints' Church in Johnson City.
"My heart is filled with joyful gratitude for God's mercy and grace, and I am humbled to accept the call to serve as your 11th bishop," Duncan-Probe said in a statement read to the convention. "Throughout this discernment process I have been inspired, encouraged, and emboldened by your faithful ministry and your sincere dedication to living the gospel of Jesus Christ in service to others. The honor of joining you in ministry is a profound moment, and I am especially mindful of the people God has called us to serve."
Duncan-Probe was elected from a slate of five candidates. The other candidates were:
- The Rev. Dena Cleaver-Bartholomew, rector, Christ Church, Manlius, New York;
- The Rev. Noah H. Evans, rector, Grace Episcopal Church, Medford, Massachusetts;
- The Rev. Canon Debra Kissinger, canon for transition ministries and leadership development, Diocese of Indianapolis;
- The Rev. Nora Smith, rector, The Church of St. Barnabas (Episcopal), Irvington, New York.
Smith and Cleaver-Bartholomew withdrew after the first ballot. Ballot results are here.
Duncan-Probe will succeed Bishop Gladstone B. "Skip" Adams III, who is retiring. Adams served the Diocese of Central New York for more than 15 years and has been called to serve as provisional bishop of the Episcopal Church in South Carolina.
Pending confirmation by a majority of the House of Bishops and by a majority of the diocesan standing committees in the church, Duncan-Probe will be ordained and consecrated on Dec. 3. The service will take place at the Holiday Inn in Liverpool, New York, with the Presiding Bishop Michael B. Curr presiding.
Duncan-Probe, a priest in the Diocese of Virginia, has served as the rector of St. Peter's in the Woods Church since 2009, guiding the parish through significant growth and revitalization. Previously, she served at All Saints' Church in Stoneham, Massachusetts, St. John's Episcopal Church in McLean, Virginia, and Holy Comforter in Vienna, Virginia. Prior to her ordination to the priesthood in 2004, she served as a youth director and as an educator, and co-founded an engineering consulting firm with her husband.
Duncan-Probe is dean of Region VII of Diocese of Virginia, a member of the diocese's Committee on Congregational Missions and board member of The Diocesan Missionary Society. She also serves on the Board of Regents of The Goodwin House, a nonprofit care organization for aging adults, and is an adjunct professor at Virginia Theological Seminary.
She holds a B.S. in education from Stephen F. Austin State University, an M.A. in psychology from Pepperdine University, a Master of Divinity from The General Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. in theology from The Foundation House/ Oxford University.
Duncan-Probe and her husband, Chris Probe, have three children, Chasen, Ryan and Grace.
Established in 1868, the Diocese of Central New York is made up of 87 congregations and chapels, including one college chaplaincy. The diocese extends to 14 counties in the center of New York State: Broome, Cayuga, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego, Seneca, Tioga and Tompkins.

The Annals of Imperial Rome (Paperback)
Staff Reviews
Edward Gibbon wrote 'The Decline and Fall' having only read the primary texts of Roman historians, shunning modern commentaries as grist for his giant mill. To get a real sense of the Roman Empire, our mother-system, a million data points must pass before our eyes. A small handful of writers fulfill this need (Livy, Suetonius, Tacitus, Dio, Plutarch, Polybius, Pliny the younger, etc.) with Tacitus being one of the most commonly cited, as he had speciall access through his senatorial position to the Senate's recotds. The Annals provides coverage of 14-68 A.D., a perfet prelude to 69 A.D., a truly awful year! This is stellar, exciting writing! Who excluded this from public school curriculum?— From Austin's Picks
His last work, regarded by many as the greatest work of contemporary scholarship, Tacitus' The Annals of Imperial Rome recount with depth and insight the history of the Roman Empire during the first century A.D. This Penguin Classics edition is translated with an introduction by Michael Grant. Tacitus' Annals of Imperial Rome recount the major historical events from the years shortly before the death of Augustus up to the death of Nero in AD 68. With clarity and vivid intensity he describes the reign of terror under the corrupt Tiberius, the great fire of Rome during the time of Nero, and the wars, poisonings, scandals, conspiracies and murders that were part of imperial life. Despite his claim that the Annals were written objectively, Tacitus' account is sharply critical of the emperors' excesses and fearful for the future of Imperial Rome, while also filled with a longing for its past glories.
Michael Grant's translation vividly captures the emotional patriotism of Tacitus' moral tone, offset by a lucid understanding that Rome is doomed, and conveys with cinematic vigour the lives of the great Emperors who laid the foundations of modern Europe.
For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.
About the Author
Tacitus studied rhetoric in Rome and rose to eminence as a pleader at the Roman Bar. In 77 he married the daughter of Agricola, conqueror of Britain, of whom he later wrote a biography. His other works includethe Germania and the Historiae.
Michael Grant's academic titles include Chancellor's Medallist and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and President of the Classical Association.

This guy shamelessly outfitted his entire apartment with IKEA – including all of the artwork. The upside to buying everything from one store is that it all goes together pretty seamlessly.
In our opinion, though, he should ditch the college-era IKEA prints and get some real artwork for the walls.

Drs. Hedgecock and Hany will be available for emergency care for our patients.
We're here for our community during this challenging time to help you with any toothache pain, infections or any other dental emergency. We urge you to please contact us first before going to an emergency room.
As his mother tells it, Dr. Brandon Hedgecock's passion for dentistry began when he was barely 3 years old and would declare he wanted to be a dentist when he grew up. By high school, Dr. Hedgecock says he was sure, and he went on to obtain his degree in Biology from the University of Texas (hook 'em, Horns!) and his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the UT Health Science Center in San Antonio.
After graduating, Dr. Hedgecock spent four years in Joplin, Missouri, working with a federally qualified community health center providing dental care to the underserved. He entered private practice in 2011, where he has enjoyed building better, long-lasting relationships with his patients and team.
Like some Austin dentists today, Dr. Hedgecock offers oral conscious sedation, an easy and effective way to calm your nerves before your dental appointment. Unlike many other general dentists in Austin, Dr. Brandon Hedgecock has also completed extensive training and certification in intravenous (IV) conscious sedation at Georgia Health Sciences University.
If you snore or have sleep apnea, Dr. Hedgecock can also help you get a better night's sleep with oral appliance therapy. He is a diplomate with the American Sleep and Breathing Academy and the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine.
Dr. Hedgecock also belongs to the following professional organizations:
Dr. Hedgecock is passionate about ongoing education for himself and his fellow dentists, taking time to travel the country teaching his peers about sleep apnea treatment. To assist him in providing the highest level of teaching as an instructor, Dr. Hedgecock recently became a member of the ICOI (International Congress of Oral Implantologists), the world's largest provider of continuing dental implant education. He knows the best way to provide his patients with the best care Austin has to offer is by continually improving on his understanding of dentistry.
Quality care is all about balance. We love Dr. Hedgecock because he truly understands that the best way to give his all at work, is to take time to pursue his passions in his off time. His favorite things can best be described with three words: kids, golf, and the UT Longhorns. When he's not in the office or creating awesome smiles, he's spending quality time with his son & daughter. Always one to look for a challenge, Dr. Hedgecock also loves to hit the links for a round of golf! When it comes to football season, all he can say is a big 'Hook em Horns!' A former football player with the UT Longhorns, Dr. Hedgecock loves to support his alma mater every chance he gets!
Dr. Hany Ahmed was born in Egypt and grew up in Alexandria on the coast of the Mediterranean. He received his Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from Alexandria University, Egypt in 2007, and his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of Southern California in 2014. He's completed additional training in implant dentistry and bone grafting, and he is certified in Invisalign® treatment and conscious sedation.
Dr. Hany takes pride in being able to comfort his patients and provide them with top-notch dentistry that produces satisfying results. He is particularly fond of improving esthetics through dentistry because he believes smiles are the key to the heart.
Outside of the office, Dr. Hany enjoys being outdoors and is passionate about traveling and experiencing different cultures. He likes to swim and play tennis, squash, and soccer. When he's relaxing at home, he likes to read and watch television series. His wife, Heidi, is an MD Radiologist who also grew up in Egypt. He has two brothers, one is a Pharmacist that lives in Victoria, TX, and the other is a Civil Engineer who lives in Kuwait. He is the uncle of two nieces and two nephews.
Dr. Hany has been on a couple of dental mission trips to treat underserved populations in Mexico, and he aspires to go on many more mission trips in the future.

Welcome to my art blog where I post recent photos of my work and journal about my life as an artist. Although I spent my early childhood in the Catskill Mountains or New York, I now live and work in Tulsa Oklahoma. It is from my early life in the mountains that I developed a love of the natural world which now includes vast prairies and endless skies. My goal is to see and respond to the beauty that I find around me with a paint brush, paint and canvas.

oops, I ripped your painting :-(.... And How To Repair a Torn Painting.
Well my husband was cleaning up and moving stuff the other day and something heavy fell onto my painting that was leaning against the wall. I had painted it on a less expensive stretched canvas. I have noticed these canvases are very easy to tear, almost like paper. I still have some that I bought on sale once upon a time, and will probably continue to use them but try, in the future to spend a few dollars and get the better canvas, even for class demos. This painting began as a class demo that I really liked and finished it out. Well not wishing to crop out and re stretch this canvas, I sent my husband to Home Depot to buy some of that aprox /1/3 inch masonite type board. Sorry I can't remember the proper name for it but I know many of my artist friends have been using it and gluing a nice linen on top for painting so I figure it would work to glue an already finished painting. So that is what I did. Here is the process:
Get a big brush, mix up some wood glue with a little water and apply to both surfaces.

Me and my hubby on our honeymoon Oct 2007!
So this is my first blog post! And it is going to be about my crazy week! I work at a tax company and our peek season is from Jan 13-Feb 15 and that just happend to fall at the same time my husband is being sent out of town for 4 weeks for training! He is in training for his new job as Assistant manager at walmart. It comes with a huge pay raise and better hours ... but lets just say we were not ready to be home with out him for the next 4 weeks. He is home on the weekends but gone Monday through Friday! Anyways on top of my job being busy and 4 employee's quitting with out notice, and my husband being gone. My one year old got an ear infection in both ears and was extra fussy and clingy and my 1 month old got a stomach flu and was also fussy and going through diapers faster than she was bottles. I also started back up on weightwatchers so I had to prepare for that each day. So let's just say the odds were stacked against me. I have stayed on track with my weight watchers but I never did work out each night like I was planning. I drug through each day of work but wasn't my normal peppy self! I also had to hire 6 new employee's 4 to cover the ones that quit and two to cover the one's I'm letting go. I delt with both screaming kids and kept the house clean. I kept all my emotions to my self and only cried when I went to bed at night. I'm thankful for my babysitters that assisted me and for my mom for giving me emotional support and my dad and brothers for helping with the snow and icicles. So ready to see my hubby!

Magic Strollers
Given that Disneyland
Park kicked off its 60th
anniversary celebration last month, I thought it might be fun to take a look at
some aspects of the Happiest Place
on Earth that didn't make it off the drawing boarding. Take -- for example --
the Mickey Mouse Club.
1953 site plan for Disneyland
Park, showing Walt originally
envisioned all of the "lands" at his theme park being placed. Copyright
Disney Enterprises, Inc. All rights reserved
According to the "Inside Disneyland" document that
Roy made available to various
television executives back in September of 1953 as Walt's brother tried to
persuade CBS, NBC and ABC to come underwrite the cost of building the world's
first theme park ...

Treasure Island and the giant hollow tree that was to
have served as Mickey Mouse Club headquarters. Copyright Disney Enterprises, Inc.

"Mickey Mouse, the best known personality in the world has
his MICKEY MOUSE CLUB headquarters in Disneyland.
Located on Treasure Island, in the middle of the (Rivers
of America), a fantastic hollow tree and treehouse serves at the Club Meeting
place. The hollow tree is several stories high, with interesting rooms and
lookout spots for club members. There is a Pirate cove and buried treasure on
the Island ... and direct from this location the Club
presents THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB TELEVISION SHOW."
The cast of the Mickey Mouse
Club marches up Main Street, U.S.A.
as part of Disneyland's opening day parade. Copyright
Disney Enterprises, Inc. All rights reserved
And as the above photo demonstrates, while the Mouseketeers
were on hand for Disneyland's grand opening on July 17, 1955, they didn't actually
shoot the "Mickey Mouse Club" TV inside the Park. Not on a regular
basis, that is. More to the point, when the island in the middle of the Rivers
of America became a place that Disneyland Guests could actually visit in June
of 1956, it wasn't called Treasure Island. But -- rather
-- Tom Sawyer
Explorer's Map for Tom
Sawyer Island.

Meanwhile over between Fantasyland and what was then known
as "The World of Tomorrow," Walt wanted to build Lilliputian
Land. Which -- according to this project's
description -- was supposed to have been " ... A Land of Little
Site plan for Lilliputian
Land at Disneyland
Park. Copyright Disney Enterprises,
Inc. All rights reserved
This proposed Disneyland "land" was to have
featured " ... a miniature Americana village inhabited by mechanical
people nine inches high who sing and dance and talk to you as you peek through
the windows of their tiny ships and homes."

Walt's "Dancing Man" project. Copyright Disney Enterprises, Inc. All
rights reserved
"And how exactly was Walt going to pull off that
effect?," you ask. Well, this is an aspect of Disneyland
that Walt devoted a lot of time to in the late 1940s / early 1950s. He even
brought in Buddy Ebsen to choreograph a simple eccentric dance that these tiny
mechanical figures could possibly perform.
Walt helps Buddy rehearse. Please note the mirror
& grid pattern behind Mr. Ebsen. This was to help WED personnel help
replicate Buddy's distinctive dance moves when it finally came time to program
this tiny mechanical figure. Copyright Disney Enterprises, Inc. All rights reserved
In the end, the technology just wasn't there in the late
1940s / early 1950s to properly program these tiny mechanical figures. But on
the other hand, there were aspects of Lilliputian
Land that were very doable 60+
years ago. These included " ... an Erie Canal barge
(boat ride) that takes you through the famous canal boats of the world, where
you visit the scenic wonders of the world in miniature."
Please note the tiny canal boats that's about to
pass under that railroad bridge in the center left of the above piece of
concept art. Copyright Disney Enterprises, Inc. All rights reserved
Perhaps the thing that would have been easiest for Walt to
pull off at Disneyland Park
had he actually gone ahead with construction of Lilliputian Land would have
been that " ... little diamond-stack locomotive 17 inches high (which)
steams into a tiny railroad station. You sit atop of a Pullman
coaches like Gulliver, and the little 9 engineer pulls back the throttle taking
you on the biggest little-ride in the land."

Disneyland Guests riding a 17-inch high locomotive through Lilliputian
Land. Copyright Disney Enterprises,

For those of you who know your Disney family history, this
miniature railroad that Walt wanted to build at Disneyland
sounds a lot like the teeny-tiny steam train that he used to operate in the
backyard of his Holmby Hills home.
Walt takes his daughters Diane & Sharon
(plus some lucky Guests) rolling past Lily's flower beds. Copyright Disney

As I understand it, it was the one-two punch of these
miniature trains having an understandably low hourly ride capacity as well as
Disney's lawyer being afraid that some child being scalded by live steam that
ultimately prevented this particular ride from being installed at Disneyland.
Fantasyland's "Canal
Boats of the World" ride floats past bare dirt banks on Disneyland's
opening day. Copyright Disney Enterprises, Inc. All rights reserved
Ironically, one aspect of Lilliputian
Land did actually make it through
to Disneyland's Opening Day. Sadly, the "Canal
Boats of the World" ride ultimately proved to be one of the least popular
attractions at the Happiest Place
on Earth. Which is why -- as part of a $2 million expansion of Disneyland
Park -- the "Canal Boats"
were closed down in January of 1956. And after six months of toil & effort,
this Fantasyland attraction re-opened as ...

glory. Copyright Disney Enterprises, Inc. All rights reserved
... the Storybook Land Canal Boats ride. Mind you, if it
were up to me, I would have abandoned the "Canal Boat" idea entirely
and -- instead -- gone ahead with the restaurant ideas that Walt had come up
with for Lilliputian Land.
Where "little people with little appetites" would have been able to
" ... get miniature ice-cream comes" ...
... " ... or the world's smallest hot-dog on a tiny
But what do you folks think? Would you have preferred it if -- 60+ years ago --
Walt had actually found a way to get Mickey Mouse Club / Treasure
Island and/or Lilliputian
Land built at Disneyland
Your thoughts?
We visited Disneyland last year, and I have to say I enjoyed the canal boats... Don't think I ever rode them in previous visits, but I liked the detail and the idea of a simpler, less frantic ride.

We started working on Sestra's ABC book again and decided that "J" should be for "jump" - and there is no better jumping photo than jumping into a pile of leaves! As you can see, the boys were very committed to the perfect jumping shot and I have to say that it turned out pretty darn well. We have 101 more pictures to take (ok, this must be an exaggeration since there are only 26 letters in the alphabet), but it's kind of a fun project to undertake with the boys. I'm thinking that maybe "I" should be for "ice cream", thus necessitating a trip to Cold Stone. What can I say, I'm a slave to my art!
Autumn is a beautiful season in Utah. It's far too short - being in the desert and at a high altitude, the seasons change quickly - but it's a lovely couple of weeks. This shot is looking up through the leaves of one of the aspen trees in the front of our house. They sure are magical golden trees in the fall.
But don't worry, we won't get wrapped up with fall for too long - Snowbird's season started yesterday and it's almost time to for us to hit the slopes!

Let me get this straight: If two thirds of the electorate in a given constituency elect an MLA, the Wildrose Party proposes that one third of that electorate should be able to have her recalled?
I must have missed something in the Wildrose Party's latest policy proposal. Although, as they say, "God is in the details." That's especially true here in Alberta, one supposes.
Unfortunately, the details aren't really in the policy document, charmingly entitled, "The Wildrose Pledge to Albertans."
Just a thought, though, before the future Wildrose government we've all been persuaded by the pollsters is a certainty introduces its proposed Accountability Act to the Legislature. They may want to submit it to a judge along with the referendum questions on abortion, "conscience rights" and water fluoridation for a quick constitutionality check.
As I recall, our Canadian Constitution says something about there being a requirement for our constitutional arrangement to be "similar in principle to that of the United Kingdom."
A politician facing possible removal from office on the strength of the signatures of a minority of constituents -- or even merely having to deal with the nuisance of fending off a politically motivated recall vote -- might make an argument this one doesn't quite meet the Constitution's similar-in-principle test.
Moreover, of course, if it were a Wildrose politician facing recall -- heaven forfend! -- I think we could assume this process would be treated with all the solemnity of Prime Minister Stephen Harper contemplating the inconvenience of his "fixed-election-date" law.
Speaking of which, that's another meaningless and effectively unconstitutional part of the Wildrose Accountability Act: An actual fixed election date, not merely the silly fixed-election period that is now about to hoist Premier Alison Redford by her own petard, is promised.
Since it will be of no constitutional validity, given the point above, we can expect it to be honoured by the government only as long as it is convenient to the same government.
Moving on, Wildrose Leader Danielle Smith said the Accountability Act will also ensure that "MLAs will be free to vote however they wish on all votes in the Legislature."
The undoubted popularity of this sort of thing makes me despair for the future of our democracy. Here's a bulletin, people: Right now, right here, in Alberta and every other legislature in Canada, members are free to vote however they wish on all votes in the Legislature. All they require is the courage to stand for their principles!
So how is what the Wildrose Party proposing any different? Are they seriously trying to tell us they won't have a party whip, they won't try to exert pressure on MLAs to vote with the party on key policies, or that they'll allow the government to fall because of a lack of party discipline?
Then there's the business of voter referenda. The Wildrose Party is right, lots of jurisdictions allow referenda, especially in the United States. In fact, Alberta can organize them now through a vote of the Legislature for each proposed referendum.
More often than not, the kind of referenda proposed by the Wildrose document are designed to tie the hands of legislators who don't share the market fundamentalist philosophies of their drafters, to slow and block change another properly elected government might want to implement, or to animate the far right's base at election time with spurious social conservative causes. However, I suppose any party could live with all that if the process is truly democratic.
But is a Wildrose government also prepared to also pass a "Clarity Act" to ensure that the question asked in any Alberta referendum means what it says? Fat chance. This will just become a hobbyhorse for homophobes, anti-abortionists and anyone prepared to call an increase in royalties a "tax increase."
The Wildrose Accountability Act is not bereft of good ideas. Alberta needs whistleblower legislation -- especially if we're about to elect a far-right government that's certain to hide behind "confidentiality agreements" with corporations to keep the public from learning the true costs of "public private partnerships" and other expensive and inefficient market nostrums. And we could use cheaper and fairer access to government information.
So kudos to the Wildrose Party for suggesting those two ideas -- if indeed they mean what they say.
But, really, if they think we Albertans should adopt the American separation-of-powers model of government with its legislative sclerosis, corporate domination and unelected cabinets, why don't they just say so?

STORY FROM: Hip & Knee Implant Litigation
Ark. Man Sues Consensus Ortho Over Allegedly Defective Knee System

Running Form Analysis
"I'd known Mike for a number of years via his work with IT in the Primary Education Sector and knew he was a keen runner. I had already done a few park runs and had started to get the odd niggling injury. When I found out that Mike was now a fully qualified England Athletics coach, I decided to book him for training and analysis.
Within a few minutes Mike was explaining the lack of symmetry in my running style and how it could lead to injuries. We then made a series of videos which he analysed later. By the end of the day I had my own secure on line data store complete with the videos fully analysed and a report for me on areas to consider. The high speed videos were a real eye opener!
I never knew that my running style had so much scope for improvement.
I've already told many people about Mike and his approach to helping runners and would not hesitate to recommend him"
Graham Cullen
With Grahams' permission I've reproduced, below, part of the videos we made in our first session.

she did it! my sweet baby turned 5. she wanted a candyland themed birthday and i'd like to share the decorations and treats we made. except the edible ones. those are long gone.
we made giant game pieces out of construction paper and big honkin hard candies and lollipops out of dessert sized paper plates and cello wrap. i knew all those empty tulle cardboard spools would come in handy!
we had originally set up outside, but a pretty big rain storm chased us in at the very last minute.
oh, how i love to hang things from a string…
we made super-cute barrettes for the birthday girl:
they're made by tying bunches of water balloons together, then tying them on to a barrette. SO easy and adorable!
we did goodie bags for the little people, here are some of the contents:
(that's cotton candy in the push-pop containers. a HUGE hit!)
rainbow homemade slice and bake almond cookies:
kinda laborious to make, but delicious.
AND! when put in a snack sized zipper bag with a clothespin and a piece of ribbon? EVEN BETTER!
i had peaked by the time it came to decide on the cake, and since it was MY birthday too, i had decided i was done baking. we ordered an undecorated birthday cake from the grocery store and decorated it ourselves. pretty and sweet, just like the little birthday girl!
it was a sweet day for everyone.

Amir George is a Chicago-based filmmaker who deals in imaginative black joy, using surreal, seductive, and joyous imagery juxtaposed with sound to create spiritual stories in fragmented vignettes. Valérie Déus, a Twin Cities artist and co-curator of the Walker's Imagination is Power series, asks George about his practice and the film Black Chains, which he'll address in a post-screening discussion as part of Imagination Is Power: We Shall Overcome on April 19.
This Q&A is part of an ongoing publishing series designed to spark a deeper exploration of the ideas, inspiration, and creative expressions featured in Imagination is Power. Look for contributions from these scholars and artists who'll share their thoughts, stories, and research on the legacy of the late 1960s and activism today: Ayo Akingbade, Bidayyat, Nadie Cloete, Valérie Déus, and Alice Lovejoy.
Valérie Déus: Tell us about creating Black Chains?
Amir George: I've made music videos for a few musician friends here and there, but one of my favorite collaborators has been Cornell Sanaa a.k.a Supertoy a.k.a Surfboard C. Cornell has reinvented himself through his music multiple times with different monikers and sounds. He put out a project called Late Bloomer last spring. Black Chains was featured on it. I had been listening to the song when he first put it out, and I wanted to create something but wasn't sure what. I had shot some footage in Montreal and put it to the song, but it didn't really fit. I was on a plane watching this Adam Curtis documentary, and I saw this image that really struck me. So I pulled that clip out and put it to the music. For me it's always the vibe of the edit; if I can place something on a timeline randomly to a piece of music and it fits, that's where the magic begins.
Déus: Where did the footage come from?
George: I pulled two clips from the Adam Curtis documentary, and I had archival footage left over from a project I did with the Chicago Film Archives. The two films I sourced from the archives are Lord Thing by Dewitt Beall (about the genesis and transformation of the Conservative Vice Lords in Chicago) and Dancing Prophet by Bruce Baker. Prophet is a film about a dancer named Doug Crutchfield, the son of a minister who wants him to go into the church; instead, Doug opens up a school of dance in Denmark for the elderly and disabled. The images of Doug dancing are so poetic and beautiful, and Lord Thing is just a nostalgic look at Chicago youth and upbringing, which is where Cornell and I come from.
Déus: Hade you ever seen it before? How did you choose the music for it?
George: It just manifested over time from having no idea where to start, to filming in Canada, to being struck by the images, then processing, then starting an edit. Once I start building a project, I share my progress with some close friends whose opinions I value. They were like: you got to keep going, something's happening with this. Cornell didn't know I was making a video until I finished it.
Déus: I'm interested in where you see intersections in your work and what they are.
George: My work contains black cultural gestures through movement and sound. I've been thinking about the Arthur Jafa theories of Black Visual Intonation. How can we create Black cinema like Black music? I think about cuts to a video like a drum or a chord on a song. Everything I make I'm focusing on a visual rhythm before sound comes in, a flow of images before the beat drops and when it actually does the images become like a guitar solo. When I'm watching something I make I want to feel like Timbaland in the Fade to Black documentary with the juice jug.
Déus: How has technology changed your work?
George: I like filming on phones for some of the things I make. I want to make something VR but still figuring that out.
Déus: Which artists influence your work?
George: Arthur Jafa, Martine Syms, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Kerry James Marshall. Recently I presented some works in conversation with a Lauren Halsey exhibition at LA MOCA. I love everything she does, too.
Déus: What role does history (oral and written) have in your work?
George: I enjoy recontextualizing historical images. The archive is such a treasure. It so much too unpack.
Déus: How does everyday life reflect in your work?
George: I love capturing the natural beauty of black people, it's so much we haven't seen of ourselves in cinema, including the mundane. I look at my work as responding to my everyday life experience.

text: So I'm not one to put my name on something just like that, but this green salsa is pretty special to me and thought I would share it! For those who are familiar with salsa verde (green salsa) you might be puzzled on my ingredients! This particular salsa came about through A LOT of trial and error. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before but I'm not big on spicy food, I also have two little ones and it can be difficult making Mexican food because of the spice some dishes have. My green salsa has got to the mildest salsa I have ever had. In fact this came about because I absolutely love my mother-in-law's green salsa and wanted to re-create it. Of course hers has a bit of heat to it so I experimented with ways to tone it down and somehow ended up using sugar. Yes, you read it right…sugar! Then I took a bit of my mom's secret (not so secret anymore!) chicken bouillon to give it extra flavor! I used this salsa every time I make Enchiladas Verdes (Green Enchiladas). You are able to adjust the heat level by adding extra jalapeños and as you will see in my instructions, leaving the seeds in. Guys if my picky son can eat this with his food and if my 2 year old can literally lick it off her plate…it's safe to say it is kid friendly and super delicious!Continue reading "Erika's Salsa Verde"

Anyhoo, the Sunday themed challenge has been posted by Cherry this morning and is "INDULGENCE and OPULENCE"!!! Hmmmm - someones already mentioned chocolate! After the problems I experienced with yesterdays card I thought I would stick with something I knew I previously liked which was collage stamping . . . hubby and I have both "retired" well early in order to INDULGE one of our favourite pastimes which is TRAVEL! so this was the theme for my card. I recently received a package from Crafty Individuals which included the "Postcard" stamp and Sir Tim's TSV stamps had the "Enjoy the journey", the "ticket" and the "Frank" stamps in so it seemed like a great idea (at the time) to go with a postcard outlining our indulgence - hope you like it. It's waaaaaay different from the CAS cards I've been "INDULGING" in lately too!!!

Signo Motus offers technological services and turn-key solutions according to customers technical specifications in the following domains:
The mechanical department of Signo Motus consists of a design unit and a prototyping unit. In the design unit the activities are assisted by modern 3D parametric modeling software that simplify and improve the design process. The 3D parametric modeling software enable the creation of a detailed virtual model of the mechanical assembly: the functionality and the design anomalies are easily identified and resolved in the virtual model before the construction of the real prototype.
The use of software modules based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) allows to simulate the behaviour of the mechanical structures subjected to design workloads.
Thermal simulations on parts and assemblies made of different materials and subject to time-varying heat loads are performed as well using the FEM tool.
Custom software application for specific internal use, such as kinematics simulation can be developed.
The mechanical design process ends with the production of drawings. If variation design are needed by the customer, the Signo Motus's designers will work only on the 3D virtual model and the drawings will be updated dynamically: the design iteration process is significantly speeded and improved.
The prototype of the virtual design is set up by standard machining tools. Metal alloys and non-metal materials are use for prototype reasons. Accurate tools for assembly and precision measuring instruments for testing activities allow precision assembly.

Biocept has developed a patented liquid biopsy technology called Target Selector that detects cancer biomarkers
Since the beginning of 2019, the company has raised more than $18 million in equity capital
It is currently ramping up global marketing efforts for its flagship blood tests to grow the company organically
What Biocept does:
Biocept Inc (NASDAQ:BIOC) is a molecular diagnostics company focused on changing the way physicians examine blood in their patients with cancer.
The San Diego-based company sells CEE-Sure blood collection tubes and has developed a patented liquid biopsy technology called Target Selector that detects and isolates cancer biomarkers such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).
Biocept offers the tests commercially to doctors, hospitals, clinics and researchers, with a focus on lung, breast, gastric, colorectal and prostate cancers - which represent 45% of all metastatic cancers - as well as melanoma.
The company says these simple blood tests can obtain the needed molecular information non-invasively and more rapidly than a tissue biopsy.
Biocept also has created a companion program called Empower TC that directly involves community pathologists in the interpretation of the liquid biopsy test results. Pathologists are often the first to know when a tissue biopsy is inadequate for molecular profiling, the company says.
The group has also developed tumor-specific, multi-gene next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels for both lung and breast cancer that run on Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc's (NYSE:TMO) Ion Torrent NGS platform, which is marketed to physicians, researchers and pharmaceutical companies.
Biocept also collaborates with Prognos Inc, a private company in New York that predicts diseases by applying artificial intelligence to clinical lab diagnostics. Prognos maintains a registry of more than 20 billion medical records which includes Biccept's database of more than 16,000 patients. Prognos markets its data to biopharma clients.
How is it doing:
Since the beginning of the year, the company has raised more than $18 million in equity capital, including a $8.2 million direct offering with institutional investors, providing a cushion to implement its business strategy, which in part calls for increased penetration into the emerging liquid biopsy market - estimated at $17 billion by 2023 - and executing the launch of the NGS Panels.
For the first quarter - which ended March 31 and is the company's most recent earnings update - Biocept reported cash and cash equivalents of $14.8 million, compared with $3.4 million as of December 31, with the increase due to equity capital raises.
Revenue for the first quarter was $1 million and included $976,000 in commercial test revenue. That compared with revenue of $807,000 in the prior-year quarter, which included $762,000 in commercial test revenue.
Inflection points:
Biocept has had a busy year so far as it ramps up the global marketing efforts for its flagship blood tests to grow organically.
In early 2019, the company launched a plan to make available research-use-only kits intended to enable molecular laboratories around the world to use its Target Selector ctDNA assays.
Those efforts got a boost when an article appeared in the January issue of the medical journal "Clinics in Oncology," citing Biocept's Target Selector test in the management of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
The peer-review report noted that the liquid biopsy test on three patients detected activating mutation biomarkers, bettering tissue biopsies that were deemed inadequate.
In order to solidify the validation process of its Target Selector technology, Biocept has teamed up with a Dubai-based diagnostics lab which is testing samples from the Middle East, Africa and Asia to ensure comparability of results achieved at Biocept's San Diego facility.
Biocept has won 34 patents worldwide stemming from its liquid biopsy technology and commercial-testing platforms, with its most recent win in China. The patent covers the use of antibody cocktails to capture rare cells such as circulating tumor cells from any biological sample.
What the CEO says:
"Last year we had to retool our operations,'' CEO Mike Nall said in an iterview with Proactive Investors.
"So when you look at the growth pattern, you'll see the company grew really quickly in the first couple of years and we really plateaued last year. And last year we had to make a lot of investments in the actual operations to scale. Those are behind us now and we're back to scalling for growth."

In 1911, International Women's Day was first celebrated on March 8. It was organized by German socialists and women's rights activists Clara Zetkin and Louise Zeitz. Many years later, the United Nations officially began celebrating International Women's Day in 1975.
In 1978, Sonoma County schools decided to celebrate Women's History Week during the week of March 8. The events held during the week were received positively by the community and the organizers went on to share their experience at a women's history conference held at Sarah Lawrence College the following year. Other conference participants then brought the idea of Women's History Week to their own communities.
In 1980, Jimmy Carter issued a Presidential Proclamation declaring the week of March 8 to be Women's History Week in the U.S. In 1987, Congress passed a resolution expanding the celebration to the whole month of March.
Here are a few of the women's history books available in the library catalog:
