text: An oral contract is, in most circumstances, just as enforceable as a written contract. Of course, the law always prefers written agreements because it is easier to define each party's rights and obligations by looking at a document. So if you have an oral agreement with another party, it is almost always better to put it in writing. This avoids confusion later. But if you do put an agreement in writing, it's important to know about the "parol evidence rule" and how that might affect what is in the contract, and what is not.

The other morning I didn't have time to make coffee so I stopped at Starbucks after dropping Aislynn and Matthew off at school. When we came home, my empty cup was sitting on the end table and K picked it up and said "ca?" which means coffee and pretended to drink it, slurping noises and all:)
He was not a happy camper when I took his "ca" away;)

Indian Mahabali Hanuman Carrying Mountain Fine Inlay Work Idol Statue 9"
Special Price USD 98.00 was USD 180.00
This brass sculpture shows Hanuman, who is a Hindu deity, and a keen devotee of the Lord Rama. He is a pivotal character in the Indian epic Ramayana. He is a 'Vaanar' (monkey-like humanoid). He participated in Lord Rama's war against the demon Ravana. He is son of Lord Vayu (Air) and is also called 'Pavan Putra' - (son of air) and incarnation of Lord Shiva - The destroyer of all evils. According to the Hindi Epic Ramayana, during the battle between Lord Rama and Demon Ravana at Lanka, Lakshmana, younger brother of Lord Rama, was mortally wounded by Indrajeet, son of Ravana. To save his life, Hanuman was asked to travel to the Himalayas to find and bring the 'Sanjeevani' herb. As he was unable to identify the correct herb he pulled the whole mountain and took it to the battlefield to save Lakshamana. He is a symbol of extreme power and fearlessness, yet devoted to his Lord Ram. This statue shows him giving blessings with his right hand.

From the November-December 2011 issue of Scouting magazine
AT SUMMER CAMP, your Scouts are doing a pioneering project. They're proud of their smooth, tight lashings. A boy tries to cut a length of cord, sawing at it without success. Smiling, you hand him your knife and say, "Try this!" In a flash, the cord is cut. The boy looks at you with wondering eyes and says, "How'd ya get it so sharp?"
It's easy to sharpen a knife. All you need is a whetstone and practice. The method described here works with any nonserrated blade.
First, Some Rules
Sharpening Procedure
Keep the back of the blade raised about 15 degrees and cut into the stone (see the chalkboard sketch at left). If you have an official Boy Scout or Swiss Army knife, you can approximate the correct angle if you rest the back edge of the blade on two stacked pennies. Another trick is to set the blade flat on the stone and adjust a bright light directly overhead. Slowly raise the back of the blade until you can just see a shadow.
You can even buy special tools that clamp to a knife blade and maintain the recommended sharpening angle. These tools work well on the body of the blade but not on a sharply curved tip. Learn to hold the right angle by hand (it just takes practice), and you'll never need a clamp.
Take about six strokes on one side of the stone, then turn the blade over and repeat the process. Keep the stone lubricated with honing fluid. If you want a razor's edge, switch to a fine-grit stone (natural or diamond).
To finish, dry the blade and strop it on a leather belt. Strop the edge away from the leather, not toward it as when using a sharpening stone. Strop your knife between uses and it will stay sharp for some time.
Note: A sharpening (butcher's) steel is simply a coarse version of a leather strop. It will not take the place of a whetstone.
Check Sharpness
There are many ways to check blade sharpness. Here are a few:
Quick Cuts
Use the right knife for the job at hand. For instance, if you're backpacking, a sharp pocketknife will save space and weight compared with a sheath knife.
Rumor has it fixed-blade knives are prohibited in Scouting. False! But be safe when using them—just as you'd act with any knife.
Check local regulations on when and where you can carry a knife. State policies differ. And, remember, knives aren't allowed on school premises or commercial airplanes.
Be sure a Boy Scout earns his Totin' Chip (read more at bit.ly/totinchip or in the Boy Scout Handbook) before he carries or uses any wood tool, including knives. The Cub Scout version is called the Whittling Chip (it is Achievement 19 in the Cub Scout Bear Handbook), which promotes responsible pocketknife use.

This is what I pass out to my Scouts about a month before our winter camporee. That gives us a couple of meetings or more to discuss cold weather survival skills, and a chance to inform parents of the dangers of cold weather camping when one is not fully prepared.
Brian J. Murrey - Assistant Scoutmaster and Outdoors Activities Planner Troop 120 -- firstname.lastname@example.com -- Crossroads of America Council
Computer re-typed and reformatted by Chuck Bramlet, ASM Troop 323, Thunderbird District, Grand Canyon Council, Phoenix, Az.
Most of this information can be found in the Boy Scout Handbook. If you are going to be doing a lot of outdoor activities, this book is an invaluable source of know-how and advice.
"One has to lie deep in the snow to learn how warm and protective it is. A den in the snow confines the body heat like a blanket or overcoat. It is a snug place, no matter how hard the wind may howl. One who holes up in the snow understands better the mysteries of the woods in the winter. He knows why the severe weather grouse squirm their way under soft snow and be quiet. He understands why deer bury themselves in drifts, lying a half day or more with just their heads sticking out. He learns something of the comfort of the bear in hibernation."
William O. Douglas, 1950
There are three ways to lose body heat. Keeping them in mind will help you be much more aware of what you are or could be doing to keep your body warm.
RADIATION - The emission of body, especially from the skin areas exposed to the elements. A good set of gloves, hat, and scarf can help best in keeping bare skin to a minimum.
CONDUCTION - The absorption of cold by the body when sitting or laying on cold ground, or handling cold objects such as metal cooking utensils and metal canteens. This is why a decent sleeping pad is required for cold weather camping. The same goes for wearing gloves. A camp stool is a must on a winter camping trip. Try not to sit on the ground.
CONVECTION - The loss of body heat due to wind blowing across unprotected body parts. This situation can also be reduced by keeping bare skin covered with hats, scarves, and gloves. It is important to keep exposure to a minimum, ESPECIALLY in a windy situation. Convection heat loss can reduce body heat the fastest. Wet clothing will accelerate this process, making staying dry even more important.
Keeping Warm
Keeping warm is the most important part of cold weather camping. Use the C-O-L-D method to assure staying warm.
Have fun!
Every year, tens of thousands of boys will go winter camping. Although the threat of danger is always present in a winter camp, planning and knowledge can overcome this. It is very important that the Scouts come prepared. If a Scout feels that at this time winter camping is not for him, then he should not go. There is always next year and the year after and so on. If a Scout comes to camp and I do not feel that he is prepared, I will have to ask him to stay behind. Make sure you are ready, and most of all, SAFE.

Dead to the World (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 4)
by Charlaine Harris
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This had to be my most favorite book in the series (so far!). Witches, both Wiccans and the ladies from scary movies, feature heavily in this story, as a coven moves into the Shreveport area and wants to wreak havoc amongst the other supernaturals in town (at this point, this includes Werewolves, shape shifters, vampires and a telepath).
Eric, who's kind of the head vampire of Shreveport, is put under a spell so that he suffers a debilitating form of amnesia. The other local vampires are not sure what to do with him, so they put him in the care of Sookie Stackhouse (our heroine and telepath). I don't want to spoil the book, but a lovely romance blooms and the book has such a bitter sweet ending I could read over and over again.
Finally, Sookie's friend, Tara, starts making some serious appearances in the books - from which she's been nearly absent, even though the TV show, True Blood, has her as a main character from the first episode.
I have a stack of other books I've been meaning to read for months now, but since my friend Jen gave me an entire stack of these Sookie Stackhouse books, I find it's just too easy to pick one of those up instead. They are all fast reads with really enjoyable characters and fascinating plots.
Dead as a Doornail (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 5)
by Charlaine Harris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The suspense continues in this book, as Sookie's brother, Jason, has now joined the rank of the shape shifters - and someone has it out for shape shifters as they are turning up dead all over the tri-state area! Jason's brother becomes a prime suspect, as he was made a shape shifter by a terrible ordeal in the last book, so Sookie has to work double time to try and clear her brother's name.
The Bon Temps detective, Andy, is finally coming around to admitting Sookie might be a telepath... and is ready to test it for helping to solve some crimes, all the while the Werewolf community in Shreveport is in the middle of a raging political battle to find the next pack master.
Yes, really.
Okay, I know this is all very silly, but I love how Charlaine Harris takes you to the deep south where you can just imagine everything is not as it seems. I love the local flavor all of these books have and how unique and varied all of the characters are.
Again, Sookie finds herself the subject of the affection of many supernaturals, but never seems to find the right "guy". All the same, I'm already well into the next book seeing how she fares now that she's got fairies in her life... :-)

Fly-grazing is when a horse is left on someone's land without the permission of the landowner.
The Control of Horses Act 2015
Mendip District Council have adopted the Control of Horses Act 2015, the act will both protect the public and tackle the neglect of abandoned horses. Landowners have a duty of care towards any animal on their property so fly-grazing passes the responsibility to feed and care for the animal on to someone other than the owner. This allows unscrupulous owners of horses to retain ownership but not a duty of care.
Fly-grazing horses are usually tethered to prevent them roaming and this can cause them injuries by the collar being too tight and cutting into the horse's head or neck. There is also a risk that they can become entangled in the tether rope and means they are unable to run from another animal or person who may wish to do them harm.
What Action can be taken
Under the Control of Horses Act 2015, which gives private landowners the same powers as local authorities, landowners can take possession of abandoned horses after a four-day notification period, provided that they have abided by the provisions of the act.
If the horse's owner has not come forward and claimed the animal within that four day period, then the horse can be seized and re-homed privately or to a charity, sold or, as a last resort, humanely destroyed.
Private landowners who would like advice on the new law can contact the council's Neighbourhood Services Enforcement Team on 0300 303 8588 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com .

Is there any way to confirm that the suicide note is real?
By the way, what is happening in the Edmonton islanimal trial?
By the way, what is happening in the Edmonton islanimal trial?
The rules have changed with respect to the Canada Summer Jobs Program. Employers must sign a document saying they support "women's reproductive rights."
Failing to do so means disqualification from the program, and many religious leaders such as Dr. Charles McVety of Canada Christian College, are not happy.
Watch as I discuss the issue with Dr. McVety, who is leading the charge against a grant requirement provision that many view as unconstitutional.
It seems our virtue-signalling government in Ottawa is committed to dividing Canadians and creating controversy where acrimony never existed before.
But the Trudeau Liberals do have a fight on their hands. And it's a fight that might very well go all the way to the Supreme Court.

Toilet Training Twins – Mother of all Messes
By Rebecca Robinson - 26th March 2013
That got your attention, didn't it? When other mums think about my life with twins and say to me, "I can't imagine it…", I say, you can, just close your eyes and imagine. You have toilet trained one toddler - caught wees and rushed little bot bots to the loo with the speed of a mother possessed. You have cleaned one too many oopsies off the carpet; wiped up, washed up, and scrubbed up, after months of the never ending messes of babyhood and toddlerhood. You know the feeling of walking around supermarkets with your inner monologue repeating your to-do list, then the question, "do you need to do a wee wee?" interrupting your thoughts every 15 minutes or so. So double it. Basically, my life is a nervous twitch of wee wee wee wee weeeeeeeeeee. Does anybody need to wee?
I don't have a time limit and I have never really had a start date for toilet training. It's been a gradual process over time. The stress isn't time related. But we have reached the stage of undies and I'm wondering how to manage the heightened state of alertness. My girls have also, as usual, tricked me, by swapping roles of who I thought would be more ready. So I have had to rewrite the script of who is ready for what.
What if the worst case scenario happens? Surely, they won't both do it at the same time?, you ask. They do. They have. Believe me. Both scream, both poo twice on the same outing, both lose their dummies (including the spare you found under the car seat), both want a feed, both fall asleep, both vomit. At the same time. Now I carry two jumbo packs of undies, and in the car are four pairs of emergency clothes, beach towels and a very large water bottle...just in case. There is no room for the shopping.
Out and about is once again a game of chance. It is also a very squishy game - of how many people can fit into a toilet cubicle. The initial excitement of public toilets is still with us, so rushing to the toilet is part of the game, I suspect. And then there is the painful bumping into the toilet roll dispenser as you manoeuvre amongst two giddy little people shuffling about with their undies and trousers around their ankles, or on the floor, bending to roll up damp trouser cuffs and toilet paper rolls mysteriously unravelled to the end, and then the ethical dilemma of what to do with all that paper. As I often mutter about life with twins, it's quite uncivilised.
While it's a very tedious game this toilet training, I have to admit, it is quite exciting to hear tinkle-tinkle; that sweet sound of success. The glee and smiles of little ones happy with themselves is contagious. At a café the other day, behind the closed doors of the bathroom, the three of us excitedly hip-hip-hoorayed to the sound of tinkle-tinkle, waved, and sang bye-bye to the wee wees. When the entire café started applauding too, and I noticed the big open windows above us, I realised I'm still far away from the light at the end of the tunnel.
I have heard more than once that it takes four years to recover from twins. With one year to go, I'm holding my breath for a civilised life. And a nice cup of tea, in a quiet café.

For Meals in the dining room
- Provide adequate seating for all those eating together. Folding chairs can be used and stored in a closet or other storage area afterwards. Wooden posts located on the wall of the garage can be used to hang them so they do not take up floor space.
- If remodeling, consider hardwood, attractive ceramic or vinyl floors for easy clean up.
- Cloth or paper napkins can be placed in an attractive basket, bowl or tray and serve as a centerpiece.
- Placemats are more versatile to use than tablecloths and can be left on the table as decorations or stacked in the center with a napkin basket.
- Dinnerware, flatware and serving pieces should be located in an area convenient to setting the table and replacing after clean up.
For storing related items
- Furniture used for storage should fit the size of the room. Pieces that are too large will make mealtime difficult.
- Corner cabinets are a great use of space and if large enough can store many types of items.
- Special occasion dinnerware or silverware should be kept only if used or you have sufficient space for it.
- Purge dinnerware sets that are incomplete, those you do not like or have broken and chipped pieces.
- Do not store china or other dinnerware sets that are never used away in packed boxes. If they are sentimental pieces or family heirlooms, pass them on to a family member or someone who will use or display them. If they are respectable items, demonstrate that by enjoying them and not packing them away or out of sight.
- Table cloths can be stored in shallow drawers or hung over a dowel or hanger covered with the empty roll from wrapping paper or paper towels. Slit the roll on one side and slip it over the rod. Hang it in a closet. This will prevent additional wrinkles.
- Additional linens can be stored in the drawers or shelves of dining room furniture such as chests or buffets. You may also use a linen closet if one exists.
- Consider placing a clothing chest with drawers in the dining room if no longer needed for clothing. It is ideal for linens.
Additional Activities
- Use the dining table for craft projects or other art activities. Cover the table with a protective cloth, cutting board or plastic before using it.
- The table may be a good choice for homework if the room is good for studying. A tote with desk supplies may be used and then stored when the work is done.
- If the family needs home office space, reserving a corner of the dining room for that activity is a good use of space. Choose a table or desk that compliments the other furnishings. Some items can be stored in the furniture already there or in rolling carts and file trolleys that can be moved to a nearby closet when not in use. More details about home offices are in Chapter 21.
- If there is not space in the family room for board games and card playing, those items could be stored in the dining room for use on that table.
- Keep the tops of buffets, chests and china cabinets clear and free of clutter.
- Do not allow the table to become a dumping ground for items entering the house.
- Keep the table attractive with a centerpiece and/or tablecloth.
- Use washable decorative fabrics on surfaces to reduce the amount of dusting.
The end of the month also brings Halloween and the Trick or Treat invaders.
First you want to be sure the pathway to your door is safe. Remember to clean the driveway, sidewalk, steps and porch while it is still daylight. Fallen leaves can be slippery especially when wet so they should be removed as well as any toys, twigs, etc. Make sure this area is well lit by leaving your porch light and any other light fixtures turned on the entire time.

|That's right n---er. Bad as you'd want!
|~ William threatening John Coffey.
|You love your sister? You make any noise you know what happens?
|~ William's quote before he rapes and murders Kathy and Cora.
William "Wild Bill" Wharton is the main antagonist in the novel The Green Mile by Stephen King and its film adaptation. He is a wild-acting, dangerous multiple murderer who is determined to make as much trouble as he can before he is executed.
He was portrayed by Sam Rockwell, who also portrayed Eric Knox in Charlie's Angels, Justin Hammer in Iron Man 2, Billy Bickle in Seven Psychopaths, and Jason Dixon in Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
He committed several misdemeanors as a child, ranging from petty theft to trespassing and small-scale arson.
The Green Mile
He is brought into the prison early in the book. At first, he appears to be in a catatonic state, but he was only acting. As soon as he enters the prison, he goes berserk and attacks the guards. Paul Edgecombe, one of the two protagonists, pulls his gun out but cannot shoot Wild Bill because of his urinary tract infection - Wild Bill had kneed him in the crotch, which was made excrutiatingly painful due to the infection. Percy Wetmore, the secondary antagonist, takes out his nightstick, but is presumably paralyzed in fear and stands by watching Wild Bill attack the other guards. Wild Bill is finally subdued when Brutus "Brutal" Howell, one of the other guards, takes Percy's nightstick and hits Wild Bill over the head with it. Wild Bill soon causes lots of trouble for the guards as well as the prisoners.
After Coffey refuses to share his corn bread with Wild Bill, he starts to cause trouble by urinating on Harry Terwilliger's shoes, then jokingly offers to defecate on them later. As punishment for this, the guards blast Wild Bill with a fire hose, put him in a straitjacket and lock him in the padded room. During this transaction, he becomes angered at being called "Wild Bill" and lectures the guards about the difference between the historical "Wild Bill" Hickok and Billy the Kid (his preferred epithet). He is put in the padded room again after spitting a moon pie (which he had purchased from a janitor for a nickel; how he got the nickel is unknown) all over Brutal.
Later, Percy Wetmore startles Eduard Delacroix, who slips and falls. He says that he was "just playin'" before Wild Bill stretches his arm out of his cell and grabs Percy. He holds Percy by the neck, gropes him by his crotch, and whispers some suggestive comments in his ear before releasing him, saying that he too was "just playin'". These actions frighten Percy so badly that he begins to cry and wets himself, much to Wild Bill's amusement. He seems to be afraid of Wild Bill after this, as before he is locked in a padded cell, he begs the other guards to not put him in Wild Bill's cell.
Before John Coffey, the other protagonist who heals people by sucking the diseases/ailments out of them and regurgitating them, is taken to the warden's house to heal the warden's cancerous wife, Wild Bill grabs John's arm. This contact allows John to see inside Wild Bill's heart and it reveals that Wild Bill raped and murdered two young girls, the crime that John Coffey was blamed for. To keep Wild Bill from causing more trouble, the guards give him a drugged RC Cola that knocks him out while they smuggle John Coffey out of the prison. When John Coffey is returned to prison, he regurgitates the disease into Percy Wetmore, who then shoots Wild Bill to death before going into a catatonic state. When asked why he did this, John said that "[He] punished them bad men. [He] punished them both."
William Wharton is extremely psychotic, cruel, cunning, odious and dangerous. In fact, he is the most insane and deranged criminal ever faced by Edgecomb and his fellows. He hides his bloodthirsty, sadistic and destructive behavior under a dimwitted and mischievous facade. He does not stand authorities of any kind, so he takes a delightful pleasure into tormenting the other guards, mostly Percy Wetmore, though he also abuses the other inmates. William Wharton is totally remorseless, devoid of any altruistic qualities, and hoped to cause a maximum of troubles before his imminent death, which he successfully did. Judging by his crimes, it's possible that Wharton shows disregard towards women, as one of the three people he killed in a robbery was a pregnant woman, and he raped and killed two little girls before his arrest.

What happens when a metrotropolis turns into a failopolis? You let the mercenary groups take over of course! Here's a an interesting story from 'www.conspiracyplanet.com'that sounds like its right of some Hollywood Post Apocalypic Story line (found here via here):
(7-6-09) Here's a glimpse of a Turn Key Approach to Urban Wasteland Management (TM)for aspiring post-apocalyptic city management companies.
Last week I had a chance to talk to a friend who just got back from Detroit, and boy did he get an eyeful of America's Future. After listening to him describe Detroit, it's obvious that it has all fallen apart.
First of all, there's very little civil authority or regular civil government remaining and in operation. Almost everything has been turned over to these so-called Private Management Companies.
And this is how it's being done. They block out areas, in which 80% or more of the houses have been foreclosed on, which happens to be almost the entire city and county.
They have selectively begun to bulldoze the properties which have been foreclosed on. The rest have been boarded up.
Then they have turned over management of these 100 block area to private companies which have become defacto governments. They have the literal authority of "governments" and they're paid a flat fee from the city, county or state to "manage," as they say, a square block of this urban wasteland.
These Private Management Companies sell themselves as residual property management firms. Most of these companies, as it turns out, are in fact off-shore subsidiaries of Private Military Contractors (PMCs).
They provide a catchall service. In other words, they regulate how much electrical power and natural gas flows through these areas. They also act as police force, and they act as management for local civil government.
However this Urban Wasteland Management has been pretty efficient. They want to protect what remaining wealthy areas that still exist, like Bloomfield Hills. These companies come in and effectively build large barbed wire fences, around these mostly abandoned square block areas.
Some people are still living in them, by the way, even though most of them are boarded up because they're no longer bothering to serve process through the entire foreclosure procedure.
Oftentimes once the house has been taken back and is ultimately owned by the city or county or some government, they let the people stay there until it's abandoned and then taken over by squatters. Then they're given a 72 hour notice to leave, by this private management company -- before they come in and bulldoze the house.
If you're not out, that's it. The bulldozers run. They can bulldoze the place with you in it -- with legal impunity.

Autumn is creeping in and that should be making me ecstatic. I should be coveting all forms of soft black lace, oogling the black boots cropping up in shoe stores, and doing some early scouting of Halloween merch. But I'm not.
I feel like depression has such a hold on me these days that it's hard to care about anything like that anymore. When I wake up in the morning, my only concern with the nearing fall weather is that it's cold and I'm uncomfortable. So I dig for a cozy pair of sweats and the warmest shirt I have.
I don't feel pretty. I don't feel like me. And I don't feel like trying.
Certainly, I used to be better than this. But when my life has fallen apart so completely that I can't see any way of putting it back together, I don't have the energy to even care about how limp my natural toned hair is or where my velvet skirt is. I've even given up on waiting for the phone call I was supposed to get about a job offer today....because I don't think it's coming.
I don't read anymore. I used to go through a book a week, at least. I used to watch ghost hunting shows like a loon. I used to have vampire movie marathons. I used to write constantly and I always had new ideas for novels or short stories.
These days, I just feel drained. And I can't be myself like that.
I don't know what to do anymore.

Delicious things that we've been eating from the internets (and a magazine)
Tiger Bread (from Bread magazine)
I can't find a link to Bread magazine which is frankly a travesty. I can't imagine that they are entirely without a web presence but it seems that for the time being they have decided to hide their light under a bushel. Or my Google-fu is weak, which is entirely possible.
The only extraordinary ingredient to this loaf is the rice flour in the crust, but thanks to some recipe or other we had a barely touched packet lingering at the back of the cupboard just waiting to be discovered and put to use. On a complete tangent, wouldn't it be great if flour companies could take a leaf out of the jam pot cookbook and make little 'sample' sizes of unusual flour, 100g or so, so that you could try out whatever it was that made me buy rice flour, buckwheat, or dark rye in the first place (to name but a few) without my spending the rest of its sell by date wondering how to use it up or justify the cupboard space.
Anyway, the bread. Delicious to eat and incredibly tactile to make. After shaping a nice white bread dough you mix together rice flour, plain flour, a little yeast, salt, sugar and some water to make something that's supposed to resemble wallpaper paste. I've never wallpapered so I went for 'gloop', vaguely reminiscent of something we used to play with at playschool that involved water and shredded paper; was it a glue? Then you smother this nice smooth dough with a thick layer of the gritty gloop and bake it.
and lo – wallpaper paste becomes tiger (or "gi-giraffe" according to Kitty)
It's beautiful to look at, and as I said, disappears at a rate of knots, but is almost impossible to slice neatly, which may account for the speed of dispatch. Next time I'm going to use a bread tin and just wallpaper the top of it. Less fun, slightly more practical -oh dear, that sounds worryingly grown up.
Coconut Rosemary Carrots and Lamb T-bones from French Foodie Baby.
Kitty adores carrots. I am certain that she will be able to see well in the dark or have curly hair or whatever it's supposed to be; this little girl puts them away in preference even to roast potatoes (although I think I saw the Yorkshire Pudding start to edge it last Sunday). But while she would quite happily have them peeled, sliced and boiled for every meal, the rest of us like a little variety now and then. But what to do with them? I ask, and the internet answers.
Helene's blog is a fount of wonderful recipes, beautifully photographed, and really easy to follow, and this is no exception. I would never have thought of baking carrots in coconut milk steeped with rosemary, but the result is a fragrant parcel of tender little slices, with just a little twist on a familiar taste, perfect for introducing another new taste to Kitty, and a lovely accompaniment to Cornish lamb T-bones.
Peepo Flowers, riffed off the Peekabo Bread from A Beautiful Mess.
You knew all this savoury stuff wasn't going to last didn't you; this cake had my name on it from the start. My one and only attempt at a surprise cake (green and white checks for H's birthday) was either a bit of a wobbly disaster or I invented giant piles of cake pops as a 'thing' long before they caught on the pages of cupcake magazines. But this, this looked doable.
I used an M&S madeira slab cake for the centre flowers, and for the raspberry cake I subbed the plain flour plus raising agents for a similar quantity of self-raising. I also halved the sugar as the original recipe had double what I'd ordinarily add to a 2 egg cake. We even managed to get most of the raspberries in the batter despite some small marauding fingers.
The finished raspberry cake was more of a muffin consistency than a true sponge, but it tasted good and held up to the madeira flowers nicely. I'd love to try this with homemade cake in the centre next time, but it's going to need to be something sturdy to stand up to the slicing and dicing – any suggestions?
Homemade Creamsicles also from A Beautiful Mess.
I'd show you pictures but I'm afraid we ate the evidence. Kitty had been carting the ice lolly moulds around with her for about a week when this cropped up in my feed reader and the highlight for her may well have been getting to stir and pour the molten ice cream; she was not keen on the idea of putting them in the freezer and still less the realisation that she'd have to wait for supper time before we could get them out again.
As for the results, American readers will have to let me know whether they're a childhood staple over the water as I can't think of anything English that would be an equivalent. I suppose a smooshed up Solero would be as close as you'd get; it's a creamy orange granita with a blob of cream at the stem. The orange granita part was really refreshing, part way between an ice lolly and full on ice cream but the frozen double cream was a bit chewy for my taste.
If I were to make them again (and a trial run at a pink grapefruit flavour is almost certainly on the cards) I'd leave the cream out or swirl it in completely, the little lump doesn't do it for me, although I'm entirely prepared to accept that it's the green fruit pastel element (you don't really like them, but it wouldn't be a packet of fruit pastels without them).
Strawberry Rhubarb Apple Tart also from French Foodie Baby
And last, but by no means least, a little bit of show off baking, a layer of apples on a strawberry and rhubarb puree all tucked up in a spelt case flavoured with fresh basil. Yes, it was as delicious as it sounds, sweet without being saccharine, and with perfectly balanced flavours.
When I make this again, and it is definitely a 'when', my only alteration would be to return the puree to the pan and reduce it a little more before I put it in the pastry case, mine was just a little too runny to stay on the pastry once we'd cut a slice, which is partially the reason why there are no photos of the tart post-baking, the main reason of course being that we ate it!
My Pinterest board called What's for Supper, which is mostly full of deeply calorific things that I want to try, has been around for a while, so I've also now added a new one, We saw, we cooked, we ate it, with some of the things I've actually cooked, together with my cooking notes. Hopefully it will prompt me to make some inroad into the 'make me' list!

The existing package of incentives has been reviewed to focus on thrust sectors and also to remove certain anomalies and deficiencies. The new package will consist of the following schemes:
A new Sales Tax Exemption/Deferment Scheme, 1998 has been brought out in place of the existing scheme of 1989. This scheme is different from the earlier scheme in the following respects.
The new scheme is comparatively simple with greater clarity and ease of interpretation.
The quantum of incentives would be given on a tapering basis for a much longer period of 11 to 14 years.
The quantum of incentives is generally higher for thrust sectors, excepting where such fiscal support is not considered essential.
Similarly, in order to promote systematic development and clusters, a higher scale of incentives has been provided for Growth Centres.
The restriction regarding establishment of a project on the site of an existing unit manufacturing similar goods has been dropped and incentives have been linked to capacity and ;investment, rather than with location.
The scope of the eligible fixed investment has been enlarged to include expenditure on in-house training facilities, research and quality control equipments.
In the new incentive scheme, benefits will be available from the date of first sale, or the date of expansion/ diversification, or the date of declaration of sickness, as the case may be.
Customised packages would be offered to premier projects with an investment of Rs.150 crores and above and regular employment of 500 persons, or other special projects in the thrust sectors.
In order to encourage value addition of products in the State, the State Government has been allowing concessional purchase tax on a large number of raw materials used in the manufacture of goods. These concessions would be reviewed and rationalised.
A scheme for providing interest subsidy in place of capital investment subsidy is being introduced. Interest subsidy will be available to industrial units having investment in plant and machinery up to Rs.60 lakhs. Interest subsidy would be provided at the rate of 2% on the documented rate of interest up to the repayment period originally agreed by the financial institutions/Banks subject to overall ceiling of Rs.15 lacs. The subsidy would be available for regular repayment to financial institutions/Banks. The scheme will be operated up to 31st March, 2003.
28.4.1 The Octroi exemption scheme would be further extended for the IX Five Year Plan period. The benefit will be available to new units for plant and machinery and raw materials for 5 years in case of urban areas and 7 years in rural areas. However, to units undertaking expansion and diversification octroi exemption would be available on purchase of plant and machinery only.
The procedure for granting octroi exemption has been further simplified. Provisional octroi exemption certificates will now be issued by GM, DIC for a period of four months on receipt of application for import of plant and machinery and raw materials. A Pass Book will be issued to facilitate uninterrupted movement of goods.
Industrial areas of RIICO which are at present located outside the municipal limits of the new industrial areas of RIICO which will be developed outside the Municipal limits in the next 5 years will not be brought within the Municipal limits atleast up to 31.3.2003.
District Level Committee for granting octroi exemption shall be reconstituted by inducting therein a representative of local industry to be nominated by District Collector. However, the decisions shall be taken only with the approval of GM, DIC and the representative of the concerned local authority.
Clarification shall be issued by the LSG that upon a certificate issued by the GM, DIC concerned that the goods exempted from octroi being imported by an industrial unit located outside the Municipal limits for its consumption are only being transported through the Municipal limits, no octroi duty shall be levied thereon. In such cases only prescribed TP charges shall be raised and not the full amount of octroi.
Subsidy on DG Sets would be provided to SSI units on purchase of DG sets at the rate of 25% of the purchase value subject to a maximum of Rs.2.50 lakhs. This facility will be available up to 31.03.2003.
The present stamp duty structure has been rationalised to provide relief to entrepreneurs. Some important changes made in the existing structure are as under:
Custom Bond
Reduced to 0.1% from 1% of the Bond amount subject to a minimum of Rs.100 and a maximum of Rs.1000/-
Security Bond of Mortgage Deed.
Reduced from 0.5% to 0.1%
Registration of document.
Fee of 1% subject to a maximum ceiling of Rs.25,000/-
Concessions in Stamp Duty would be extended in the following cases:
In cases of revised partnership deeds/supplementary lease deeds based on will/ succession/ family settlement as also in the cases where documents are executed on mere change in the name of the firm or company without change in constitution would attract a duty of Rs.100 provided the parameters of Article 5 (c) of Rajasthan Stamp Adaptation Act are met with.
In case of change in partnership/ shareholding even if the transfer involves less than 50% of share, Rs.500/- will be levied as stamp duty on execution of document for change of partnership; however, in the cases of execution of document for change of partnership; however, in the cases of execution of supplementary lease deed on induction of a new partner in lieu of a retiring partner, the stamp duty will be levied on the basis of market value of the share as per article 23 of schedule II of Rajasthan Stamp Adaptation Act.
Sale and transfer of sick units/assets of taken over units by RIICO/RFC would continue to be exempt from stamp duty.
Where the lease deed is executed in any industrial area developed by RIICO, the stamp duty will be charged on prevailing rates as may be fixed by RIICO from time to time.
28.7.1 The exemption limit for industries in respect of Land and Building tax has been raised from Rs.5 lakhs to Rs.20 lakhs. This would also be applicable to tourism related projects.
Land and Building Tax would be charged once in a year irrespective of change of hands. The tax would be charged on the market rate. In RIICO areas the rates determined by RIICO from time to time would be taken as the market rates for this purpose.
New Industrial Units will be exempted from payment of Land and Building tax for a period of four years from the date of production.
Sick units will be exempted from LBT in case a revival scheme is drawn by BIFR or financing institutions.
For the purpose of assessment of land and building taxes, in case of tourism related projects, the cost of land charged by RIICO/Department of Tourism shall be considered as the market value for computing the Land and Building Tax.
28.8 Incentive for Fly Ash/stone slurry based projects
The State Government will encourage projects based on fly-ash and stone slurry in the private sector. 100% sales tax and octroi exemption will be given for a period of ten years for setting up manufacturing facilities for bricks, building materials and other fly-ash/stone slurry based products.

Letter: In defense of Sonnax
Editor of the Reformer:
I am writing this letter in response to reports regarding a lawsuit involving Sonnax Industries and The Department of Labor. Sonnax has been based in Vermont since 1978. While Sonnax began as a very small team of just a few people, we now employ about 190 full-time employees in Bellows Falls, and 60 others throughout the U.S.
I feel that Tommy Harmon and Rick Fritz have been portrayed in an unfavorable light, and, as a proud Employee Owner of Sonnax, stand behind them in their efforts to prevail in this action. It is important that our local community remember there are always two sides to a story, which sometimes, due to open litigation, are not reported equally or completely.
In 2010, Tommy Harmon, then majority owner, was looking toward retirement. He and Rick Fritz, then minority owner, had begun conversations about how to transfer ownership of Sonnax. After consulting with an investment banking firm, Sonnax was put up for sale. Likely buyers would be private equity firms or strategic buyers. While working with the investment bankers, Tommy and Rick learned more about an option called an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. An ESOP transaction enables employees to acquire ownership in a company and share in its economic success without investing any of their own money or assuming any risk. As Tommy and Rick considered their options, a couple of things became clear: If they sold to private equity or a strategic buyer, a new management team would be brought in, people would likely lose their jobs, and Sonnax could be broken up or moved out of Vermont altogether. If they created an ESOP, selling to their employees, the company would remain in Vermont and its dedicated employees who had helped grow the company would be rewarded and reap the benefits of Ownership.
In 2011, Tommy and Rick chose the ESOP option, selling 100 percent of their interests to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. A trust was established to administer the ESOP, and allocate shares into individual employee accounts. There is no worry that Sonnax will move from Bellows Falls, an area that would suffer in our absence. In the six years since the inception of the ESOP, our stock price has grown considerably. Share values have risen more than 500 percent, and our ESOP accounts have grown with the share value.
I believe the ESOP was a generous gift given to all employees by Tommy and Rick. While reaping the benefits of Ownership, we have built a strong, successful company that will be around for years to come. Many longtime Employee Owners have found the financial retirement benefits of our ESOP far exceed a 401(k).
Tommy and Rick could have chosen another path, but they chose Employee Ownership. Had they gone in a different direction, they would have been paid 100 percent of their selling price and moved on. Without the ESOP, it's conceivable that Sonnax may not even exist today, let alone as a vibrant, growing business with great benefits and a loyal team of Employee Owners. By choosing to create the ESOP, Tommy and Rick were paid 30 percent of their selling price, and agreed to receive the balance over time, taking on the financial risk personally. If Sonnax was not successful as an Employee-Owned Company, they could have lost the remaining 70 percent due to them. They did this because they believed in the future of Sonnax, and more importantly, they believed in the employees.
I stand behind Tommy and Rick and believe, as they do, that the case brought against them is erroneous and without merit. Tommy and Rick are active, upstanding members of their communities and well respected by all. They are, generous, kind and caring, and I am proud to have them leading Sonnax to continued success.
Jamie Scott,
Sonnax Employee Owner, March 3

Help on the Horizon for Broome Jail Addicts
Broome County Jail inmates who are recovering from drug addiction and about to be released back into the community may be getting some medical help in successfully beating their problem.
The Broome County Sheriff's Office and United Health Services are looking for inmate volunteers to be injected with prescription Vivitrol, which blocks opioids from producing a high.
Officials say there are some serious possible complications and risks associated with the treatment. Patients will be issued a medical alert tag or bracelet to tell medical and emergency officials that they are on the drug.
The first treatments may begin in December. Inmates at the Broome County Jail are currently undergoing screenings.

Parenting Resources
by De'Etta Goecker
(from a parenting Workshop in former PWOC Asia Region)
"These are resources that have blessed our family; we don't agree with each word in every resource. There are many other wonderful resources on the market. This list is not exhaustive – it includes resources we've used and share most often with others. I am not an Amazon affiliate – links are provided for your ease of shopping and reviewing." De'Etta Goecker
As you read through the Bible this year, mark any passages with a "P" that you think could relate to how you parent. Keep a journal to make a list. You'll be amazed and your parenting may even by revolutionized. Start with Proverbs if the idea of the entire Bible is daunting. Look for more than "rod" verses…..let the Word shape your vision of parenting. For instance Pr. 28:13 is not a "parenting" verse but has impacted my parenting greatly. Personally studying the Word will give you a filter to process other authors through. Let the Word shape your parenting, and then take joy when others confirm what God has spoken to you.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had requested the Home Ministry to sanction his prosecution.
CBI spokesperson R.K. Gaur told the reporters that CBI had asked government to accord sanction to prosecute Rajendra Kumar to file chargesheet against him.
CBI may file a chargesheet against Rajendra Kumar on February 18. He was arrested on July 4 by the CBI but granted bail July 26.

Wine Tour
The vineyards, the winery
tasting the wines of the most ancient tradition.
The wine tour at Tenuta Cucco is a small journey in the vineyards, ancient hamlets and the secrets of the wineries of the Langhe wine region. It begins by the historical vineyard where we cultivate our best grapes, suitable for great ageing wines. Vigna Cucco, just next to the winery, gives the name to the company and is an iconic vineyard in Serralunga. It is mentioned in the Renato Ratti historical Barolo map and is located in the "additional geographical mention" Cerrati, a cru only commercialised by our company. Its peculiarity resides in the height of its vines, approximately 400 metres a.s.l., positioned where clay and tuff are present at maximum concentration and in the superficial area of the soil conferring the grapes with distinctive abundance of tannins and polyphenols.
From Vigna Cucco we can admire the eastern boundaries of the Barolo region, a suggestive sequence of inclined vineyards and ancient towers.
The tour continues in the centre of Serralunga d'Alba, few hundred metres away, visiting the church of San Sebastiano nel Borgo now deconsecrated and part of the estate. It has remained just as it was when built in the XVII century, with its frescoes now represented in the labels of the wines of Tenuta Cucco.
The wine tour of Tenuta Cucco ends in the winery, particularly in one of its magical places: the XIX century Infernot where we carefully store the old vintages of our Barolo and a collection of ancient agricultural and wine-making tools.
The tastings of our wines are all paired with local products, particularly seasoned hams and salami and they take place in our elegant hall with a view over the castle of Serralunga d'Alba.
According to the typology of tasting, the cost varies from 18 to 35 euro. It is possible, together with the wine tasting, to book your stay in Casa Cucco, the four people apartment adjacent to the old church of San Sebastiano nel Borgo.
It is possible to also combine the visit of Tenuta Cucco with a visit of La Raia, the biodynamic estate in the heart of the Gavi hills property of the Rossi Cairo family, discovering the terroir where the vine variety Cortese is produced.
At La Raia there is also the Fondazione La Raia (Foundation La Raia) that during these years has commissioned site specific artworks to Italian and international artists within the estate. We also can provide transfer service from Tenuta Cucco and take care of the night-stay in La Raia, in our agriturismo Borgo Merlassino.

In Deadly Premonition: The Board Game you and your fellow detectives must take on the task of protecting the innocent, incriminating the guilty and work out who might not be who they say they are. With a hidden killer amongst the detectives, the race is on to identify a suspect as an accomplice in order track down the true killer.
The mechanics found in Deadly Premonition are unique and original concepts formed around our vision for the game. Embark on competitive battles to manipulate your own board toward a victory condition, while simultaneously sabotaging your co-detectives. There is also a hidden identity element to shake things up and reward observation and intuition. You have each been assigned a line-up of six townsfolk to investigate. Your suspects begin in the "incriminated" row until you provide evidence that they should be presumed innocent.
Once all your suspects have been cleared of guilt and you have proven yourself to be a trusted detective, you can begin to go on the offence to identify which player is the hidden killer by extracting information from incriminated suspects on their board. Correctly identifying an accomplice of the hidden killer wins you the game.

Governor Matt Mead created the Outdoor Recreation Task Force in 2016 to assess Wyoming's outdoor recreation economic sector, needs for now and the future, relationships with land access, and the possible creation of an Office of Outdoor Recreation. The task force will accomplish this through education, transparency, and communication between constituents and governmental agencies. At the behest of the governor, the Wyoming State Parks and Cultural Resources Office appointed members to the Outdoor Recreation Task Force and hired the Ruckelshaus Institute's Jessica Western to facilitate the group. The Outdoor Recreation Task Force will identify and evaluate options that meet the needs of the many stakeholders involved and will develop near- and long-term strategies, recommendations, and measurable actions that the state (working with federal partners and private interests) can implement.

Last week, I experimented with flipping a lesson. Instead of me standing up and teaching all students at once, I wanted to give them the flexibility to move through a lesson at their own pace. While they worked in the cool comfort of the computer lab, I could work one-on-one with students to complete our beginning of the year assessments.
Frolyc is the perfect tool for creating a flipped lesson. I can put all of the text, videos, and activities that I want students to use in one easy place. Even though my students don't all have computers at home, they still need to learn how to work through online content and learn from these kinds of lessons.
I started out by creating my classrooms. No need for student e-mail addresses or lengthy forms--I just had to type in student first names. Each student receives an individual code that they use to access their activities.
Next, I created my lesson through the authoring tool on Frolyc. We are working on story elements with a focus on protagonist, antagonist, and parts of a plot. I used a "Multimedia Text" activity to combine an image, a video from YouTube, and text. This is what it looked like on student computers:
I couldn't find a great video for parts of the plot diagram, so I adapted a few slides from a PowerPoint that I have already made (Story Elements) and did a screencast using QuickTime. Then I posted it to YouTube so that I could embed it in the next page of the Frolyc activity. (link to video)
The kids found it very amusing to listen to me! Even better, though, they had full control of stopping and starting the video. "Can we watch it again? I don't really remember all of the words," one student said. "Of course!" I replied. This is one advantage of a video!
After the video, students read a story, and then answered sequencing and multiple choice questions. These questions required students to apply the vocabulary that they had learned in previous pages. Some kids realized that they had to go back and reread, which was a great lesson for them.
The lesson ended with a drawing activity. Kids enjoyed interacting with the drawing tool, and I loved watching the collaboration bloom--"How do you add a text box?"--and "How do I draw instead of erasing?"
I'm planning to continue creating flipped lessons for students in the weeks to come. These lessons are great for introducing vocabulary and helping students to experience content.
You can find the full activity here if you would like to try it out with your students.
If you would like to try to create your own flipped lesson, here is a story that you can use--for free! This retelling of "Stone Soup", told from multiple points of view, can be used for teaching about theme and point of view.
