B.C.'s motor-vehicle insurance provider continues to bleed money, with new numbers showing Insurance Corp. of B.C. posted a net loss of $860 million in the first nine months of its fiscal year, putting it on track to lose $1.18 billion for the full year.
This is driven largely by prolonged legal battles with people injured in crashes who are demanding higher settlements, says ICBC CEO Nicholas Jimenez. The losses are much higher than the $890 million ICBC anticipated it would lose for the entire fiscal year ending March 31.
"I think everyone is really frustrated with what's going on," Jimenez told the Times Colonist.
"The trends that we've seen in the last year in terms of costs drivers of injury claims, it's unsustainable."
ICBC paid out nearly $5 billion in net claims in the first three quarters, an increase of about $600 million over the same period last year.
Jimenez said major overhauls to B.C.'s auto insurance starting April 1 — including a $5,000 cap on minor injury claims and a dispute resolution process to keep more minor claims out of court — could save the insurance provider $1 billion per year.
Trial lawyers have said they will challenge the changes because they erode the rights of British Columbians.
While the nature of people's injuries haven't changed dramatically, the average cost of litigated injury claims has jumped by 20 per cent to $121,826 in 2018 from $101,920 in 2017. ICBC is also paying 21 per cent more for the use of medical experts, a cost which in most cases, must be covered by the public insurer.
A review of 1,200 injury files in excess of $100,000 found that the injured person's lawyer presented an average of six medical experts, many with overlapping skills, ICBC said. This exceeds the number of experts who testify in some murder trials across the country, Jimenez said.
"The reality is the other side is getting more aggressive and they're working these files harder, trying to build them up to be a larger claim," Jimenez said. "So we have to confront that."
Almost half of each litigated settlement pays for legal fees. That money would be better spent paying for the medical care, recovery and treatment of people injured in car crashes, he said.
As of December 2018, ICBC had about 5,600 pending "large loss claims," which means they each cost the insurer nearly half a million dollars. That's an increase of 34 per cent over 2017.
Attorney General David Eby has described the financial peril of ICBC as a "dumpster fire." In the last fiscal year, ICBC lost $1.3 billion.
In a statement Thursday, Eby said: "Until major reforms kick in on April 1 of this year, ICBC's financial situation remains critical and is worsening."
"Losses of this magnitude are unsustainable and unacceptable," Eby said. "The reforms that will come on April 1 will fix much of this broken system. However, until staff are hired and trained and new systems come online, we are stuck under the old system."
Eby said crashes that happen before April 1 will continue to be handled under the old rules.
"To keep auto insurance affordable and make sure injured British Columbians get the appropriate care they need, we must bring this broken system under control," he said.
ICBC plans to raise rates by 6.3 per cent this spring.
Several other provinces have brought in caps on the payout for minor injury claims.
The average driver in B.C. pays $1,680 annually for auto insurance, highest in the country, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada. The bureau has lobbied for the government to adopt the private insurance model in Alberta and Ontario.
But in 2017, a report commissioned by the Ontario government found that province's private auto insurance system is one of the least effective in Canada, with higher than average premiums. The report said Ontario drivers paid an average of $1,458 in 2015, versus a national average of $930.
Ontario has also struggled with rising claims costs and the report found that a "high percentage of premiums are being used to pay experts and lawyers and not going directly to injured persons."
B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba have publicly provided auto insurance. Apart from Quebec, which has a mix of public and private insurance, all other provinces offer private auto insurance.
Jimenez said the suggestion that ICBC's financial woes would be fixed if drivers were offered more options through private insurance is nonsense.
"We could have the exact same model being delivered by private insurers and we'd have the same problem we have today."

Yehri We Cry, a project supporting child bearing women in Sierra Leone, hosted a charity event on July 14, 2011 at District Lounge in Washington, DC, to raise funds for their upcoming humanitarian mission. Starting second from left are Naffisatu Conteh, Chair of Outreach; Passion Artis, Chair of Finance; Agnes Erskine, Chair of Public Relations & Communications; and Marie Mansaray, President and Co-founder, and Miss Sierra Leone USA 2010; and Khadijatu Rahim (second from right), Chair of Programming.
The Power of Collective Giving: In 2010, childhood friends Marie Mansaray, Nadia Sasso, and Zainab Fadlu Deen were engaging in a conversation on how they could give back to a country that they felt so close to, but yet still distant. Although born in America, their parents are natives of Sierra Leone, a country where women of lower class tend to lack the health care resources necessary to carry a full term pregnancy into a successful delivery. They founded Yehri Wi Cry (YWC), a project geared towards diminishing the maternal and infant mortality crisis in the country. The name translates from the Sierra Leonean dialect of Krio into "Hear Our Cry."
For their first initiative, a team of YWC members and founders will travel to Sierra Leone on July 31, 2011 to distribute birthing kits and incentive packages, and to educate the global community about the magnitude of prenatal care and its significance to a successful birthing process. The maternal kits will improve the livelihood of women and their babies during childbirth in villages where facilities are not available or are beyond their reach financially. YWC has already established partnerships with doctors from Sierra Leone which will contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of their missions. On July 14, 2011 at District Lounge in Washington, DC, YWC held a send off charity event to raise funds for their upcoming journey.
Zainab Fadlu-Deen, Co-Vice President and Co-Founder; Agnes Erskine, Chair of Public Relations and Communications; and Nadeen Lewally, Secretary
Co-Vice President and Co-founder, Nadia Sasso, shares about their upcoming journey: "Not only am I excited about our efforts to empower mothers in Sierra Leone, but I am excited to be doing this great deed with great people. This journey has been rough, but I know that on our way back we can say we did it and we did it together! I have no doubts about the impression we will make in Sierra Leone; and I know that we will be back again because our love for our country and all that it breeds is impalpable."

Many of the cases prosecuted and heard by the magistrates of the Victorian metropolis were fairly mundane and soon forgotten.
Everyday across London drunks, disorderly prostitutes, pub brawlers, petty thieves and swindlers, took their place in the Police Court dock along with the occasional middle-class trader charged with selling meat unfit for human consumption or for adulterating milk or other goods. Landlords were fined for failing to maintain premises and cab passengers summoned for failing to pay their fares. Sad stories of suicide, poverty and child neglect were tempered by amusing tales involving country 'bumpkins', cross-dressing entertainers and defendants who showed a bit of bravado in the face of adversity.
Just occasionally however, the cases were quite serious and reflected the courts' role as a court of first hearing for many of the trials that reached the Old Bailey.
In 1888 (the year that 'Jack the Ripper' perpetrated a series of brutal murders in the East End) Robert James Matthews stepped into the dock at Worship Street Police Court charged with wounding and attempted murder.
His victim was Henry Blaming, a 22 year-old 'potman' who had previously worked for Matthews at his pub in Brick Lane. Matthews ran the the Two Old Brewers and lived there with his wife, son and two daughters. Blaming took a fancy to one of his employer's daughter and in January of 1888 there was some kind of incident and Blaming was sacked.
It seems that Blaming was accused of indecently assaulting Eliza Matthews and he was formally charged and tried at the Old Bailey, but acquitted. Blaming later claimed that Eliza was 14 years old at the time, but the Old Bailey puts her age as under 13. Whether there was simply insufficient evidence of Blaming's guilt or he was indeed as innocent as the jury found him is impossible to know. The proceedings of the Old Bailey rarely went into any detail in publishing accounts of rape trials and this is typically uninformative.
After leaving the Old Bailey at noon Blaming decided to celebrate his acquittal by going for a drink with two of his friends. All fair enough we might think, except that the former pub worker chose to rub his old boss' nose in the mud by opting to have his celebration at his old place of work. He took a position at the bar and asked to be served.
Matthews saw him smiling at him and demanded: 'who are you laughing at?'
'I have nothing to cry for', was the younger man's response. Things now escalated fairly swiftly. Matthews reached behind the bar and grabbed his revolver. He levelled it at Henry and fired.
Blaming was hit in the stomach and tried to run away. A second shot caught him in the buttocks before he escaped into the street. The wounded man was soon treated by a doctor and then taken to the London Hospital were he was an in patient for ten weeks.
In the meantime Matthews was arrested and taken to the station by a young detective, Walter Dew. Dew was to go on to serve on the 'Ripper' case (supposedly being the first policeman into Mary Kelly's home) and, more famously, to catch the murderer Dr Crippen in a chase across the Atlantic.
Matthews told Inspector Bavington, who had questioned the landlord at the pub, that he had fired two shots but that he was provoked. He clearly believed that Blaming was guilty of raping his daughter and had gotten away with it.
On the way to the police station Dew said to Matthews: 'This is a bad job;" only for his prisoner to reply: 'What! I wish I had killed him, there would be an end to the b——then'.
There was a third bullet because when the police examined the gun they found one remaining in the chamber. Blaming had been lucky: the first bullet had entered his thigh but had missed his abdomen by a 'faction of an inch'. The first bullet had been removed but the other remained lodged in his buttock and he was still receiving ongoing treatment.
When it came up to the Old Bailey Matthews was, unsurprisingly, convicted. The jury was sympathetic to him however and strongly recommended mercy on the grounds of provocation. The judge was lenient, sending him to prison for six weeks at hard labour she he could easily have spent much longer inside. If he was able to return to his management of the pub one imagines Blaming gave him a wide berth in future.

Stella by Starlight
Written by Sharon M. Draper
Inspired by her grandmother's diary, Draper relates the realistic tale of Southern black family during the Depression. The author dives right in with a cross being burned near Stella's home on page one. The eleven-year-old does well in school, except for a continuing struggle with her writing. She has great ideas. She just can't seem to get them on paper. So she goes to the barn at night to practice. When the Klan becomes more active and the weather turns colder, her parents plead with her to stay indoors. The year is 1932, and Stella's father is determined to vote in the general election. He takes Stella with him when he registers to vote, and she sees the bravery he and two other men must show in order to get registered. The family faces many other battles as Stella's brother suffers through the flu and Stella's mother is bitten by a poisonous snake. The black doctor is unavailable and the white doctor refuses to treat her. The Klan burns the house of one of the men who also registered to vote. A man with thirteen children. Stella is a heroine when she finds the hiding place of one of the younger children, frightened by the fire. She also witnesses white men beat up her friend for no reason and saves the life of the daughter of the white doctor.
This exciting book will give fourth graders a good feel for both the Depression and the consequences of discrimination. Stella is a wonderful, though not perfect, child who everyone will identify with. Highly recommended.

I went to Melbourne for five days recently. I've been to Melbourne a few times before and always enjoy it. It's the type of city that's fun to visit, but also has a feeling of liveability. There's some places I love to visit, but I can't envisage myself living there, or I don't think living there would be all that great.
Funnily enough, while I still think that, this time that I visited Melbourne, while I still think it would be a fantastic city to live in, I can't see myself living there right now. I thought that maybe on this trip I would feel that I'd 'found my place in the world', but I think my place must be a bit further a field at the moment. I'm definitely keeping Melbourne on my futures list, though.
Anyway, in no particular order, here's some things I enjoyed when I was there and think you should check out if you get the chance.
Degraves Espresso. I can't speak about the food at this cafe, as I just went for a pre-breakfast coffee (we got breakfast free at our hotel and I was being cheap), but the coffee was definitely good. So good that when I finished my first soy latte, I felt compelled to order another. Sitting there sipping your coffee and people-watching is one of those quintessentially Melbourne experiences, I think.
Retrostar Vintage. There's a lot of good vintage shopping in Melbourne, but I found a lot of it quite expensive compared to K Rd prices in Auckland and it wasn't that much better to warrant the prices. Retrostar definitely has a lot of stuff to choose from and it's prices are pretty good. It's a large warehouse-style building that has a huge amount of stock that's worth a rummage through. I found a fabulous 1960s champagne lace-overlay dress for A$65.
Circa Vintage. I actually didn't buy anything here, but I think it's worth the trip out to Fitzroy. It has a small selection of clothes, but all well selected. This is somewhere if you're lucky, and if you have the budget, you could pick up something truly special. And the shop itself just has a nice 1940s kind of vibe to it, old-fashioned music playing and the shop girl dressed in vintage attire while ironing some new acquisitions.
Little Cupcakes. This is in Degraves St (so goes perfectly with a coffee from Degraves Espresso). I had a mini mocha cupcake and my mum had a lamington cupcake. Both were devine. There are numerous other flavours, and you can get mini or regular-size versions. If I lived in Melbourne, this would be a weekly treat. Mmm.
AIX Cafe Crepierie Salon. This is in Centre Place, which is another little iconic piece of Melbourne. Surrounded by the tables and graffiti and shops and people walking past, this is tucked away, a little hole-in-the-wall kind of place. I went there in the afternoon after the lunch rush so I could get a table (there's only about three), but it's well worth finding the time. I had a sticky date crepe with caramel sauce and double cream. It's as rich as it sounds, and was amazing for about three-quarters of it before I fell into a food-induced coma. There's a large variety of options for those not as brave or stupid as I. The berries with yoghurt and rosewater sounded nice to me for next time. And there's also a lot of savoury ones as well. Good value, delicious and filling.
Scarlette & Sly. This is also in Centre Place. It may be best to come here before eating a large crepe, as trying on clothes with a full stomach is never much fun, and I'm sure you'll want to try something on. From what I understand, this shop stocks local Melbourne designers. I bought a great navy blazer here, something I'd been looking for for a long time, but hadn't managed to find the right combination of relaxed and tailored, smart and casual. It was half price as well, so only $75, but it's original price of $150 was pretty reasonable, I thought, for a well-made classic piece. It's chain store prices, but not everyone is going to have it.
Finally, I didn't get to do this, but I guess you have to leave something for next time – Rooftop Cinema at the top of Curtin House. And Cookie Bar & Restaurant downstairs is meant to have excellent cocktails, so I'm told.
And just because this is a Melbourne-themed post, this is one of my favourite blogs at the moment, Lady Melbourne.

Free Willy movie is more relevent now than ever before
With all the stuff going on with SeaWorld these days it made me think of one of my childhood movies: Free Willy. I am not ashamed to admit that I still love this movie.
For those of you who haven't seen it: "When a boy learns that a beloved killer whale is to be killed by the aquarium owners, the boy risks everything to free the whale." (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106965/?ref_=nv_sr_1)
Basically it's about an orca who is captured and put into a tiny, little tank and expected to perform. When he can't, the owner of the theme park decides to collect the insurance for the whale by killing him. Everyone comes together to free Willy (hence the name) and get him back with his family he was stolen from.
The whole premise of the movie is about the inhumane treatment of this dear whale and how they so desperately want what's best for him.
I definitely think it deserves attention these days. It's great seeing the connection between the boy and Willy that develops. And all that they go through and risk so much to save him.
Everyone go watch this movie! Right now.
Plus, Michael Jackson.

text: Did you know that the thing that's keeping more CEOs awake at night than anything else is a skills shortage, and that the top ten most "in demand" jobs in 2010 didn't exist in 2004? The problem is, people don't seem to understand the "real" problem. While billions of dollars are being invested in recruiting and exiting people, restructuring, and developing and acquiring technical skills and solutions which will soon be out of date – the deeper and more systemic issue isn't being acknowledged or addressed.

It was just gone 10pm by the time I had got back to the car in the Victoria Bridge car park after my evening circuit round Meall Tairbh and Beinn a'Chuirn. Most of the half dozen or so cars that had been there 5 hours previously had gone, their owners presumably down from a day on Stob a'Choire Odhair and Stob Gabhar. One remained, in darkness and seemingly unoccupied, while an orange glow leaked out from behind the closed curtains of a camper van that had pulled in during my absence.
I cracked open the first can of a four pack of lager and got the jetboil going for a dinner of rehydrated Mountain House chicken tikka. While that was on the go, I put one of the back seats down, blew up the thermarest, laid my sleeping bag out and rearranged various bits of kit for ease of access e.t.c. during the night. A second can washed down the chicken tikka, and a third was seen off while I sat chilling on the tailgate with the estate door up and enjoyed the sounds and smells of a Friday night in springtime in the great outdoors.
I gave the fourth can a miss, setting my alarm for 3.15 and getting my head down for a few hours kip before what promised to be a long, hard day on the Saturday. The plan was an anti-clockwise circuit of the Clachlet Traverse, taking in the four Black Mount Munros. It would involve a long walk in on the West Highland Way across the edge of Rannoch Moor before striking off the WHW at Blackrock Cottage and aiming for the foot of the Sron na Creise ridge which would lead me up over Stob a'Ghlais Choire to the first Munro of the day, Creise. From there, a detour off the main ridge would take me to Meall a'Bhuiridh and back, before continuing on over high connecting ridges to the final two Munros and the descent down to the Abhainn Shirra and the walk back to Victoria Bridge.
With the recent cold snap and the prospect of significant snowfall at that level, I knew I would have to take the axe and crampons, and I did wonder about the state of play on the Sron na Creise ridge, of which I had heard many stories. Everything I had heard about it confirmed that it required some pretty serious hands on scrambling at the best of times.
It was still dark when the alarm went off at 3.15, at least too dark to get a clear picture of what the sky was doing and what the cloud cover was like. I sat up and stared out for 10 minutes or so, contemplating whether to knock the idea on the head, reset the alarm and go back to sleep for a few more hours, and then decide on an alternative plan for the day ahead. In the end I decided to stick to my guns so I quickly got into the appropriate gear, fired the jetboil up for some coffee and porridge and repacked the Montane daypack. It was a tight squeeze with the crampons and emergency shelter in there (too tight in fact), but I really didn't want to have to take the Osprey expedition pack. I have since acquired a new Vango Traverse 30l which looks like it will occupy this middle ground very nicely.
I was away by 4am on the dot - still dark but with an almost full moon, light enough to walk without artificial light. As I crossed Victoria Bridge and passed Forest Lodge before climbing up out of the tree cover and onto Rannoch Moor, I was transported back to July 1997 and the last time I passed this way, walking the WHW with my mate Andy from London. That was an epic week long adventure, but we were both struggling quite badly by that stage. Andy's low point had been the previous day on the stretch from Tyndrum to Bridge of Orchy, while mine was on the long lonely walk over Rannoch Moor the following day.
Almost 18 years later, in the darkness of the early hours of a Saturday morning, things were entirely different. I am an altogether different kind of walker nowadays and I zipped along the track towards my long day on the Clachlet Traverse.

The River Ba from Ba Bridge
Oddly enough, there was nobody else on the Way this morning, until that is a short distance beyond Ba Bridge where I came across a bloke in the final stages of dismantling his tent and getting his breakfast gear packed up. He was your average WHW punter, heading for Kinlochleven that day and admitting to feeling the strain.

Soon enough the high point of the track over the moor was reached and I started to drop down towards Kingshouse and the jaws of Glencoe, with the familiar bulk of the Great Herdsman of Etive increasingly dominating the view ahead.
The Buachaille and Chrulaiste guarding the entrance to Glencoe
After a short break by the path that branches of to the ski centre and bunkhouse, I continued down to Blackrock Cottage where I left the WHW and took a direct line across the rather unappealing looking moor towards the base of the Sron na Creise ridge.

After a 10 minute sit down on top of a large boulder in the middle of the Allt Cam Ghlinne for a handful of wine gums and to refill my water bottle, it was down to the real business of the day, starting with Sron na Creise. It had taken me four hours already to reach this point.
Sron na Creise from the Allt Cam Ghlinne
The Sron na Creise ascent did not disappoint. As with many of these scrambly ascent ridges, there are different routes to choose from in most parts, and you can make of it what you like. Early on I tended to stay a little to the right of the crest so as to get the views down Glen Etive, but higher up, as the ridge narrowed, I stuck pretty much to the crest.

Getting above the snow line
As I hit the snowline, I found myself being funnelled into a rocky gully which provided great panoramic views back down to the Kingshouse Hotel and reminded me somewhat of an epic late winter ascent of Ben Cruachan several years ago.

Airy shot back down Sron na Creise
At the top of the gully, a sudden snow shower came in fast and I spent 10 minutes or so huddled against some crags until it passed. It was only then that I realised that I had a tricky looking bad step immediately ahead of me with no apparent easy way round. I left the pack off and tried out the first few moves. There were good hand and feet holds but it was still an awkward little bugger to get clear of.
There's a storm a'comin!
Looking back down the Bad Step
From this point, the gradient eased as I approached Stob a'Ghlais Choire but the underfoot conditions deteriorated quite significantly. The snow cover was substantial, and in places it was blown into deep drifts of powder that threatened to swallow me whole. Umpteen times I fell waist deep into a hole and it was a case of two steps forward and one stumble backwards as I wallowed feebly in the powdery drifts.
It was beginning to dawn on me now that, with the conditions underfoot making for far more arduous going than I had anticipated, I would be unlikely to complete the whole traverse of the 4 Munros today. Or rather I still could, but it would take me longer than I was prepared to spend. I have nothing against 15+ hour days but I had said I would be home by late afternoon and it was already looking like that would be a tall order.

Approaching summit of Stob a'Ghlais Choire

As if this were not bad enough, the views then closed down significantly as I got up into the cloud and the teeth of the storm. It was absolutely bitter and even although I managed to find a degree of shelter down in a snow hole on the summit of Creise, I still got several icy blasts and a load of snow blown up my back as I hunkered down and tried to eat some lunch.

Then it was on to towards Clach Leathad and the connecting rib across to Meall a'Bhuiridh. There were some pretty fierce looking cornices dropping down into the head of the Cam Ghleann and I began to wonder where and how I might get through them, with the exit point from the main ridge still not visible.

Eventually I came across the small marker cairn and stumbled my way down through a tangled mass of large boulders made more challenging by the thick layer of powder snow which blanketed them. There were a good few leg breakers in there but I managed to get down onto the flat of the connecting ridge without falling foul of any of them. It was now patently obvious that Odhair and Gabhar were not going to be happening today.
Descent towards Meall a'Bhuiridh
At this point I passed my only two hillwalkers of the day - two blokes who had come up on the tows and were heading over onto the main ridge where they hoped to "ski some lines if the visibility remained". Good luck with that one chaps!
The way home later - Loch an Easain, Creag an Fhirich, Rannoch Moor and the Orchy Munros

Scree and snow slope from hell - descent into the Coire an Easain
From here I dropped down between the Allt Coire an Easain and the slopes of Creag an Fhirich to rejoin the WHW at Ba Bridge for the tramp back along to Victoria Bridge.

Jings, that sounded tough but well done for trying ! It's a long walk on the WHW and even worse having to go both ways.
Wondered if you'd considered approaching Meall a'Bhuiridh first via the ski car park then on to Creise instead but assumed you'd wanted to go via Sron na Creise ?
Weather hasn't been "helpful" recently - just goes to show what a difference it can make - can remember walking these hills in April with almost no snow at all - makes it so much easier - cheers

Great report. Well done for attempting the long walk around. Your story resonates with a couple of trips I have done but have yet to document. I haven't done these yet but they are on my radar for sunnier days.

Wow, fantastic. That's what I call hardcore mountain porn Funny, we did these two last Saturday, as "a quick nip up a couple of Munros" using the easiest approach, of course. How it's changed since, most of the snow is gone and we had absolutely no problem traversing from MB to Creise and back. It was like a giant staircase, we managed to stick to the rocks most of the way, and the cornice on top of the arete has melted away:

That's one long and tough trek for the conditions. Great perseverance on your part.
I had wondered a couple of weeks ago how winter walkers know how deep and soft a snow-field is. You have just answered my question - you don't! I'm quite scared of stepping into snow up to my waist - how on earth does one extricate oneself?

In an effort to post more than once a week this week, I'm cheating by putting up another video.
There are times I wish I could sing. I guess everyone has moments of wishing they were a rock star, Prima ballerina or professional origami maker. ? Anyway, if I could sing like this lady, I would be pretty stoked:

What looked like it could setup to be a bit of an offensive showcase has instead been a much more defensive battle than expected. Oklahoma State's upset bid against No. 10 West Virginia is one half closer to completion, with the Cowboys taking a 20-10 lead on the visiting Mountaineers in Stillwater. A key turnover by West Virginia quarterback Skyler Howard led to a go-ahead score for Oklahoma State.
West Virginia and Oklahoma State exchanged field goals on the first two possessions of the game, and the Cowboys took a 6-3 lead on their second offensive series with a second field goal from Ben Grogan. West Virginia scored the first touchdown of the afternoon when Shelton Gibson stretched to bring in a 19-yard pass in the end zone from Howard.
Howard has generally been reliable for West Virginia, but he lost the football while being sacked by Vincent Taylor deep in his own end, giving Oklahoma State the football at the West Virginia eight-yard line. Two plays later, Mason Rudolph completed a pass to Chris Lacy for a 13-10 lead. Oklahoma State added to the lead on their next offensive possession, after West Virginia missed a field goal. The 15-play drive ended with Rudolph connecting with Jalen McCleskey for a short touchdown play, putting the home team up 20-10.

Until now, I have only told 5 people about this blog. My parents, my husband, my mother-in-law and one of my good friends. It wasn't that I was ashamed of what I was making, but I knew I had a LOT of room for improvement. This morning I received a comment from a complete stranger saying how she thought my latest cake was sweet…made me feel like a hundred bucks! It was just the boost of confidence I needed. Thank you A Kitty and Her Cakes!
I told myself when I started a couple weeks ago that I would post it to FB and let the world know what I was up to as soon as I got 100 hits. Well folks…I'm there! I'm proud to unveil my new blog about cake, cookie and cupcake decorating and my journey through unchartered territory as I teach myself how to do it all 🙂 If you're looking for perfect sweets…ya ain't gonna get it here! But if you're looking for a little humor and some tipping, dripping and ripping desserts…this blog is your cup of tea! Hope you enjoy!

When we began to do our weather observations, my kids used the word wall WONDERFULLY and their writing came out so good. We went outside everyday and I videotaped the kids with a microphone (a pencil topped with a styrofoam ball!) as they pretended to be "meteorologists". I created this journal for the kids to use - they had to choose one weather "word of the day" to write in the box at the top of the daily journal entry. They then have to use that word at least one time in their actual writing entry. Feel free to download by clicking the link above the pictures:
Google Docs: Weather Journal (Clipart courtesy of Scrappin Doodles/Fonts from Kevin & Amanda)
In an attempt to get my kinders to start doing more independent work, we read the story "What Will the Weather Be Like Today?" by Paul Rogers. After we read it whole group, I split the kids up into 5 separate groups, gave them their own copy of the book, and gave them one certain page to study and describe to me all the different picture clues they saw to let them know what kind of weather day it was. After they found all of their clues, each group created their own poster to describe what they would do on their certain weather day. I wasn't sure how the whole small group work would fly, considering they hadn't produced many projects on their own, but they did a great job! They all created their respective posters together and then presented it to the class. I was very happy with how they worked together. Here is one of the posters my Sunny Day group created:
Most kids just drew detailed pictures, but a lot of them wrote sentences describing what they did. Love it!
I began creating my own weather unit with some math and literacy games that I hope to get out on TPT come Springtime. In the meantime, I used a couple of games I created. One of them was the "Striking Short -I" word sort. They loved this game! After they sorted all of the lightning bolts, they used the recording sheet to write the words in the right word family section. Here's a glimpse of what it looks like:
You can download the game for free here on Google Docs! (Clipart courtesy of Scrappin Doodles/Fonts from Kevin & Amanda): Striking Short I! Word Family Sort
Before I end this I just wanted to send a huge thank you to Deedee Wills at Mrs. Wills' Kindergarten and a host of others for having a February contest -- I was one of the lucky winners and I got 7 FABULOUS February units to use in my classroom. I was able to use a few of the literacy activities from some of the ladies' units and my kids about died over them. Thank you Deedee and your fellow bloggers for having such a generous contest!!

How To Shrink VMware Virtual Disk Files (.vmdk)
I'm using vmware-vdiskmanager with the -k switch to shrink disk files. The -k switch is supported on Windows hosts only, therefore I'm using Windows XP as the host and run VMware Server on it with a Debian VM. I got good shrink results with this constellation.
In a second step I've tried to shrink disk files on a Linux host (Ubuntu). vmware-vdiskmanagerdoesn't support the -k switch on Linux, but I've tried the -d switch (defragment) instead and got good results as well, but I'm not guaranteeing that this will work for you as well.
Navigate to the directory where the .vmdk files are located, e.g.:
cd C:\Virtual Machines\apache2_mpm_itk_debian_etch
Try to find out where the vmware-vdiskmanager.exe program is located on your Windows system (mine is C:\Programme\VMware\VMware Server\vmware-vdiskmanager.exe), and how your .vmdk file is named (e.g. Other Linux 2.6.x kernel.vmdk). You can then shrink the .vmdk file as follows:
"C:\Programme\VMware\VMware Server\vmware-vdiskmanager.exe" -k "Other Linux 2.6.x kernel.vmdk"
That way I was able to shrink a .vmdk file from ~1.6GB to 1.3GB, and compressed (.zip) from ~430MB to 240MB.

"I purchased the diamond clear to use on my wheels on a 77 El Camino. The wheels were chemically stripped and the outer wheel was sanded and polished to an almost mirror shine (as good as my patience would allow), the center of the wheels were base coat and clear coat with standard two stage paint system. I reduced the diamond clear the full 30% for spraying. The clear was wet sanded after 2 days with 2000 grit and then compounded with a wool disc at 1500 rpm. In the end the wheels turned out very good!" -Tim G DiamondFinish Clear
"This is my original artwork over a red Lyon - Washburn Guitar. After a few coats of inferior products I needed that glass finish and decided to go with the KBS DIAMONDFINISH CLEAR and after only two coats from my HVLP gun the result was perfect and EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks so much for the product and letting me share this work of love with you. I will be using this product to finish all my rebuilds." - Ron S. https://www.kbs-coatings.com/DiamondFinish-Clear.html

"Here are just a few pictures of what I do, new metal art. I am looking forward to much better sales this year due to using the KBS Diamond finish. WOW!!!, what a difference. Everything has a completely different dimension than before. The different colors and even the plain raw metal stands out. I say we have the "WOW" factor now. Some of our customers who have already seen the difference are amazed. We are really excited that we discovered KBS Coatings!" -iMetalist from Burleson,TX https://www.kbs-coatings.com/Clear-Coats.html
"This was a 4 X 8 foot plywood sign (double-sided) that I originally did about 8 years ago, for a friend's restaurant. It was very faded and weathered; but the basic plywood was still in good shape. So we sanded it well, primed and re-lettered it.(hand painted). Then put the KBS Diamond Clear on it. Looks great!! It sits out in a parking lot, with one side in the sun for most of the day ... I'm very satisfied with the product, so far." -Dale F. DiamondFinish Clear

Spray DiamondFinish Clear
dkelly posted a topic in DiamondFinish ClearCan I thin DiamondFinish Clear to spray it?
Solvent Drizzle
feicke posted a topic in DiamondFinish ClearI'm very happy with the results, using Diamond Clear on a couple of custom signs. I have always tried to do top quality work, but clear coats have failed many times in the past. Yours has worked great so far. The only concern I have is with storage of the unused portion of the quart. Can this be done? My first quart hardened solid in a couple months, despite the lid being on tightly. I had used about half of it. I don't use a lot, and not too often. But I will definitely consider becoming a long-term customer. Most other solvent-based enamels, I can 'drizzle' a thin layer of thinner over the top of the paint, and it will stay liquid. Can I do that with the Diamond Clear, or is there another way, or............? Thank you.

It is, indeed, worth recognising that failure to provide adequate educational facilities and access to proper education are the core recipes to state failures in Africa and many parts of the world. It is unfortunate that, as Africa's oldest country, Liberia lack proper education facilities across the entire country, particularly in the hinterland. The country does not have a single state-of-the-art library in the capital, Monrovia, let alone having proper libraries in the hinterland. It is in recognition of these inadequacies that Michael Flowers derived the motivation to embark on a personal mission to help educate, inspire, motivate and empower Liberians both at home and abroad.
Ma Liberia Bo is a Kru phrase which literally means "Help Liberia". As individuals, regardless of our position in life, we have a role to play in the national reconstruction. If we want our country to thrive, then it is paramount we understand that we all have the obligation to partner with the government in rebuilding our educational system. Whatever the level of your qualification or academic background, you have something others have not got and are looking for. Share what you have (that is your knowledge) with others. Your knowledge in Creative Writing could help transform a high school dropout into a first time author, for example.

EDF, a global low-carbon energy supplier, celebrated it 40th anniversary of operations in South Africa recently.
The French ambassador to South Africa, Christophe Farnaud, said in his opening address that the economy must grow to provide much needed jobs, but not at the expense of the environment. Therefore, clean energy is the common denominator of both economy and environment. French companies, the ambassador said, as EDF has shown, are willing to help South Africa with education and skills development while providing the country with clean sources of energy.
Luc Koechlin, the managing director of the South African operation, said that the EDF Group, with an annual revenue of almost €70-billion, has been active in South Africa since 1978 and assisted Eskom in the construction of the continent's first nuclear power station at Koeberg in the Western Cape.
In his presentation, Nicolas Lecomp, the company's manager for South African projects, said the company has four wind-power plants in operation in South Africa. They are all in the Eastern Cape province and contribute a total of 141,6 MW to the country's power supply. A particularly interesting development, he said, happened in Grahamstown where it was impossible to connect the 24,6 MW Waainek wind farm to Eskom's grid. Instead, it was connected to local municipality. This is uncommon practice in South Africa, he said.
Valerie Lekev, the company's senior executive vice president for Middle East and Africa, said that the company's long-term solar power vision – "Le Plan Solaire" – is to have a world-wide installed base of 30 GW of solar PV and 10 GW of energy storage by 2035. To achieve this goal, she said, the company's research and development teams – which numbers about 5000 employees – is constantly exploring new technologies and processes to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Daluvuyo Ntsebeza, the company's economic development manager, said that 2,1% of the revenue derived from the sale of electricity from the four wind farms was spent on communities living within a 50 km radius of the wind farms. This amounted to almost R21-million in 2017, he said.
Most of the money (1,5%) was spent on socio-economic development, education, sports, health and arts and culture projects. The balance (0,6%) went towards supporting small black-owned enterprises working in agriculture, retail, construction, and small-scale renewable energy, Ntsebeza said.
Beneficiaries are measured against key performance indicators (KPIs), he said, so that the company can be sure that the communities really benefit from the donations the company makes. The Grassroots Youth Development (GYD) programme helped a local school receive a sports pitch using local small businesses. One of GYD's initiatives is the Khulasande Sports Development programme which teaches the learners physical education and provides them with a nutritious meal to help them grow physically and remain healthy.
Another source of clean energy is nuclear. According to EDF's Laurent-Olivier Coudeyre, the company has been, and remains active in new nuclear power plant design and construction. The company operates 72 GW of nuclear power in a number of countries. The latest design, which is under construction at the Taishan power plant in China consists of two 1750 MW Gen III+ EPR reactors. The project is nearing completion, Coudeyre said. The company, which is involved with NECSA's SAFARI One medical isotope reactor in Pelindaba, says it is ready to assist the Department of Energy with its new nuclear power plants which would most probably be based on the same design as those under construction at Taishan, he added.
