While it was a difficult year in many ways, it was also a year of tremendous blessings. Many lessons were learned, many tears were shed, but there was joy and laughter throughout the year, in the midst of the pain. God's love and faithfulness was evident every step of the way.
Here is a summary of our 2013. The ups,
the downs,
the in betweens...
the downs,
the in betweens...
January: Joe resigned from his job at BAMZ after being there for 6 years. God opened the door for full time ministry which we had been praying about for sometime. It's sometimes scary to step out in faith but we knew God was moving us in this direction and looked forward to embarking on this new journey.
February: We took a monthlong family trip to Sri Lanka which was amazing! I got to celebrate my 40th birthday there. We spent precious time with my mom and dad, making memories, not knowing for sure how much longer Ma would be with us.
March: Joe began work at Cornerstone Bible Fellowship.
April: We announced that Baby Furbert #5 was on the way and we started raising chickens!
May: Joe was ordained and officially took on the role as Associate Pastor at Cornerstone. Eden turned 6. Joe completed his first half marathon.
June: My mom went home to be with The Lord. She passed on peacefully at home with Joe , my dad and I at her side. Two days later, Marcus turned 3.
July & August: The summer went by quickly with VBS, Cornerstone kids camp, swimming, fishing, spending time with cousins and celebrating Eli's 8th birthday.
September: we began our 5th year of homeschooling.
October: Isaiah Jordan made is entrance into the world.
November: We celebrated Ma's life by planting a cedar tree, our 12th wedding anniversary and Micaiah's 10th birthday.
December: This month was a blur with Christmas preparation and activities. Some highlights for me were making mince pies which was something my mom did every year, watching the kids perform at Grotto Bay hotel on Christmas Eve, and spending Christmas Day with our parents, being entertained by the kids with a show they put together.
Definitely a roller coaster of a year but one that God used to strengthen my faith and draw me closer to him. I don't know what 2014 has in store but I'm looking forward to whatever it brings... This year has taught me that whatever I am faced with, God will see me through :)
Wishing you a Happy New Year!

With the summer season halfway finished, it's time to start drooling over the new fall season anime. Since Chartfag has not yet released his usual new anime chart, a couple of other bloggers have stepped in to fill the void. This chart from The Cart Driver seems to be the most accurate thus far. Click on the thumbnail followed by the little green arrow at the bottom of the lightbox to see it at full size. Bootleg PVs for some of these anime can be watched here.
Here are the anime I'm planning to watch and why.
- Star Driver: I've been thirsting for a new giant robot show for a while, and this one looks pretty promising.
- My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute!: I've heard good things about this light novel series from moe fans. It looks kinda generic, but hopefully will be entertaining enough to fill the void left by K-ON!!.
- Iron Man: Dude, it's friggin IRON MAN animated by MADHOUSE. Everybody is going to be watching this, myself included.
- A Certain Scientific Railgun OVA: I'm a huge fan of Railgun, and there's no way I'm going to pass up a chance to see mai waifu Mikoto again. Bring it on!
- A Certain Magical Index II: See above.
- Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls: This seems like brainless fanservice action fare, but I'll give it a shot anyway. Sometimes you find a good show hiding among the muck.
- Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt: This surreal show looks like a mix of Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack. Can Gainax deliver another instant classic, or will it flop like Hanamaru Kindergarten?
The rest of these shows simply don't interest me. If any of them get good reviews, I'll consider picking it up… but just going by their descriptions alone, I doubt they'll be worth watching.
How about you? Do any of these shows strike your fancy, or are you gritting your teeth for yet another mediocre season?

Nokia Facebook Game
In partnership with Comwerks Interactive an interactive agency based in Singapore, I was tasked with the development of a Facebook application and game for Nokia.
Nokia required an interactive social B2B Facebook application and game to help spread the word and drive traffic to the Nokia OVI store. (In this post I will discuss the interactive game and not the application).
Fusspot is an interactive Facebook game, where users need to spot the difference between two images to receive points and advance to the next level. The game has all the features you would expect in an interactive game from a score counter, hint option, level count and a game timer with a bonus counter.
But the best feature of Fusspot is not just the great game play but the global scoreboard which uses the Facebook API. The Fusspot scoreboard shows every players global rank, highest level, number of tries.
But that's not the best part, the best part is the option to see your Facebook friends score and just your rank fully integrating the Facebook API.
Don't forget to check the full post about the Nokia Facebook application "Feed Your Addiction".

My Amazing Experience with Testo Roar
Why does one have to age? It is all what I used to say, when I myself entered that unlikely aging phase. Being a fitness freak person, my low stamina and poor performance during workouts use to offend in my eyes. I very well know these low and irregular workouts could never get me fit and ripped again.
Along with this adversity, my sexual life was also on a declining state. My performance in bed was no longer magical the way my partner use to feel earlier. All I used to hear from her was "what has happened to you now"! This used to make me realize that I have really aged now. Somehow, these changes were not at all acceptable for me and I long to revive my lost energy and stamina once again. For that, I started my online hunt and researched long till I came to know about Testo Roar!
Taking this supplement further to my doctor helped me develop my faith in it. Getting started with it was the best decision that I thank myself for. Gradually, my lost stamina and potential started reviving back without letting me bear any kind of risk or side effect. Soon, my performance got increased in the gym and crazy in bed like the way it used to be earlier. Now, my life is back on the right track and what about you? You really need to give it a try in order to revive your lost self!
Testo Roar Ingredients – What Makes Testo Roar Work?
Starting sometime in their thirties, men begin to lose testosterone. It can be as little as 1% over the course of a year or as much as 3%. This causes what is known as andropause, the male version of menopause. Testo Roar ingredients work to help eliminate the side effects of aging. Its ingredients are specially blended to help balance a man's natural testosterone level so that he can feel his best no matter how old he is. The list of Testo Roar ingredients is short and simple. It contains glycerin, water, gelatin and Re-Settin, a blend of the antioxidant Astaxanthin and the herb Saw Palmetto.
While the list of this product ingredients may be short, the effects of its ingredients are powerful and men begin to notice a difference in how they feel very quickly. Andropause can cause men to become depressed, lose interest in sex, and may even lead to fatigue. Men often feel like they are out of control with mood swings and could even begin to lose their hair. Some men lose both bone and muscle mass and gain weight in the form of fat, especially around the middle. These product ingredients are designed to put a stop to all of it.
Glycerin, water, and gelatin are included in the Testo Roar ingredients but these are not active ingredients. Instead, these ingredients work to help the main ingredient, Re-Settin, work better. The capsules that the Re-Settin compound is in are usually made of glycerin, which is easily broken down in the body. Most people are not allergic to either gelatin or glycerin, so seeing these on the list of these ingredients should not be a cause for alarm. Before trying this product please go through the Testo Roar reviews first.
The most important part of the Testo Roar ingredients list is the Re-Settin. This compound is made up of Saw Palmetto and Astaxanthin. Saw Palmetto helps to decrease DHT, a hormone that testosterone can be converted into and that can cause hair loss and problems with the prostate gland. This is a good thing to see on the list of Testo Roar ingredients. So is Astaxanthin, an antioxidant that gets rid of the free radicals that float freely in the body. It is thought that free radicals contribute to the development of cancer, so seeing this on the list of its ingredients is an excellent indicator of how good the supplement is.
Man is dependent on food to keep him going. The activities depend on the energy levels which are present in the body. Metabolic activities like respiration, digestion and circulation help produce the energy required for day to day activities.
Addressing the physical vitality
The physical prowess is dependent on a few things. One is good food and a restful state of mind. Another thing is the red blood cells which carry the oxygen and the nutrients to all parts of the body. When there is a decrease in the RBC levels there is a decrease in the testosterone levels. Decreased testosterone levels would mean inferior performance levels. If one has decreased energy with which to work and the results are obvious from the output.
Action dependent variables
The metabolic activities are controlled by the enzymes. Among them testosterone is one of the most important. The testosterone helps by:
Aiding muscle density
Improving bone content
Adjusting the fat distribution
Improving the sexual interactivity
Increasing the sperm production
Improving appetite
When the muscles are in good condition the metabolism is also in fine fettle. This is because the body requires less energy to do the work. Secondly, the damage to the bones is minimized and you have stronger bones. The energy on our body is mobilized by digesting the fats or from proteins. The testosterone helps in mobilizing the energy and thus one feels an excitement when there is a higher level of energy in the body, but most of all, testosterone helps in the production of sperm. This is necessary for the sexual activity.
Low levels of testosterone happen when:
One is old
Due to illness
Insufficient glandular activity
Unbalanced dietary habits
Use of medicines
To increase the levels of testosterone in the body one could improve the diet or take pills. Testo Roar is a wonderful pill for those who are down but not out. This helps man to recover his lost vitality through simple dietary supplementation.
It should be noted that good diet should be followed by good exercises. This way the body will keep its nutrients in the place where it belongs. The muscles are reshaped, and the nerves become attuned to the superior energy flow levels.
It is designed to bring out the best in you. It is a preparation which is carefully done to bring the metabolism to a peak. The appetite improves and before the week is out, one can see an increase in the testosterone levels. When one is healthy, the body will be at peace, the nervous tensions will be removed and the metabolism will be very good. It is all in the mind is an old adage, but it is true to an extent.
Testo Roar is an over-the-counter natural male enhancement supplement that is designed to boost testosterone levels and improve the overall well-being. The product's special testosterone-boosting formula can help you improve your libido, increase your muscle mass, and speed up your metabolism. The male supplement's main ingredient is Testofen, which is a natural extract derived from a plant called fenugreek. Testofen is a clinically proven ingredient for improving male sex drive, performance and satisfaction. In the Testo Roar formula, it is combined with other healthy ingredients like vitamin B6.
Before you decide whether you want to try testosterone-boosting supplements for men like Testo Roar, it's important to diagnose your condition accurately. Low testosterone levels are associated with many different symptoms that can sometimes be signs of other diseases, so it's best to get your testosterone levels medically tested.
The four most common symptoms of andropause include weight gain, decreased energy levels, lower sex drive and muscle loss. If you are over the age of 40 and are experiencing these symptoms, you are probably going through andropause. All men experience a reduction in testosterone levels as they age, although how they feel during that time period can vary from one person to another. The only way to resolve problems that are associated with low testosterone is to increase your testosterone levels. Taking a male enhancement product that is designed to boost testosterone levels can help reduce these unpleasant symptoms and even reverse them.
Testo Roar is a unique male enhancement product because it's sold over the counter. Other forms of male hormone therapy require prescriptions and frequent visits to the doctor. They can be very expensive depending on the form of treatment and its duration. Testo Roar, on the other hand, can be easily purchased through a reputable source online. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can use it as a risk-free trial. You can purchase one bottle to start with or get a discount on a 90-day supply.
Buying and using the supplement is very easy and convenient, which makes it more attractive to many men than dealing with doctor visits and prescriptions. Another big advantage to using a natural male enhancement supplement like Testo Roar is its all-natural formula. Testo Roar doesn't contain artificial ingredients, and its main ingredient is derived from a widely used plant. Because of its all-natural formula, the risk of side effects are relatively low when compared to other testosterone replacement treatments and products.
The manufacturer's claims have not been confirmed by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), however, the main ingredient has been clinically proven to help men regain their energy and libido.
If you prefer to use natural male enhancement supplements, then Testo Roar might be a good option for you. You can contact the Testo Roar customer service if you want to find out more information about the product or how it works.
The body of a man goes through some changes as it becomes older. Some men may have difficulties staying in shape, maintaining a happy mood and having sex. This happens not just because of aging, but also as a result of andropause. It is a condition of low testosterone levels and it is very common. However, you can treat this condition and become an Testo Roar. A testosterone booster can help you increase the levels of testosterone and reverse the effects of the condition.
What is andropause?
It can be said that this condition is the male equivalent of menopause. These two conditions are slightly different, though. During menopause the woman's ovaries stop releasing hormones on a permanent basis. On the other hand, during andropause, the hormone release of the testes declines, but does not stop permanently. Also, every woman will eventually go through menopause. However, not every man will experience the male menopause. The condition is very common though, and it is said that millions of men between the age of 40 and 55 will experience this condition. Usually, a man is able to maintain a healthy level of testosterone throughout his entire life.
Symptoms of andropause
The symptoms of this condition can be easily spotted. Frequent fatigue is one of the symptoms. Low testosterone levels make a man feel tired and weak. Andropausal men can feel wiped out and lethargic even after the simple everyday activities. The fatigue is more noticeable during exercises because the condition reduces the endurance and weakens the muscles. Andropausal men also gain weight. This is because the production of cortisol (a stress hormone) is increased. This hormone increases the appetite and fatigue, while causing muscle loss at the same time. Mood changes are very common. Also, a low level of testosterone can cause clinical depression. There may be sexual performance issues and erectile dysfunction. The causes of that are the depleted testosterone levels and obstructed blood flow because of atherosclerosis. It is known that good blood flow is required for sex.
How to treat the condition
The condition is treatable and it can be reversed by increasing testosterone levels. Low testosterone levels can be increased by adding a natural testosterone booster to the daily routine of an andropausal man. Such supplements do not contain synthetic androgens or hormones. Natural boosters contain safe extracts and amino acids that can trigger the instinctual testosterone production of the body. Avoid consuming dairy products and non free range meat. They contain dioxins, which are common byproducts of the industrial process of the food. Dioxins are known to decrease testosterone and other hormone levels. Instead, you should consume free range animal products that can help you increase the level of testosterone. By eating free range animal products, you preserve the testosterone levels and keep the dioxins out of your body. Another excellent way of boosting testosterone levels is interval training. Interval training is very effective. It involves intense sprint instead of typical cardio exercises. If you prefer to run, you can alternate between jogging for a couple of minutes and sprinting for 1 minute.
The only ingredient on this list you may not recognize is testofen. I did a bit of research and noticed that it is a proprietary ingredient derived from the fenugreek herb. Fenugreek has been used for thousands of used as a medicinal agent for a number of ailments (including impotence).
So it seems that supplement is in fact derived from natural ingredients linked to boosting testosterone levels. But does it actually work? The rest of my Testo Roar review will look at this product's effectiveness.
My Personal Testo Roar Review
I've been using this product for about two months now and so far have been very happy with my results. Although I haven't had my testosterone levels tested (so I can't scientifically verify my results), I have noticed an increase in energy while taking it.
Now when I play a round of golf with my buddies on Saturday, I find I'm not completing out of energy at the end of the round. I even decided I would start working out again, after nearly 20 years away from the gym.
I've also noticed I have higher libido (which keeps the wife happy), and experience less fatigue throughout the day.
Now I don't want to overstate things because I wouldn't say it has turned me into an entirely new man. But it has improved my life significantly by giving me the energy I need to complete the things I truly enjoy in life.
Conclusion: Is This Supplement Right For You?
One of the things men inevitably experience as they get older is a reduction in testosterone levels. While some just accept this as a fact of life, others decide to do something about it.
Personally, I think if you're the type of man who needs lots of energy during the day, then you may want to consider taking this supplement. It presents very few side effects (so far I haven't really experienced any), and can greatly increase your energy levels. Basically, it can help you regain some of that energy from your youth.
You could go with testosterone replacement therapy, steroids, or some other expensive/unnatural approach. But personally, I think a natural approach with a well-received supplement is the best way to go at first. If you think you've been experiencing a reduction in testosterone levels lately, then I highly recommend you look into Testo Roar for the best testosterone boosting results.

Photokina 2010: The Unofficial First Day
Officially, Photokina begins on Tuesday. That doesn't stop manufacturers from banging out announcements and press conferences a day early. Read on for Fuji's surprising X100 announcement, a brief hands-on with the Canon G12, and images from Samsung's NX100 launch.
Samsung NX100
Samsung made the previously announced NX100 even more official with a press conference today, offering attendees a chance to gaze upon the compact interchangeable lens camera and ask questions of CEO Mr. Sangjin Park. He underscored what he believes are the strengths of Samsung's second NX series camera, citing improvements to "essential functions and usability." He also predicted that the mirrorless interchangeable lens market would overtake DSLRs in sales by 2013. With all of its eggs in the proverbial compact interchangeable lens basket, it seems that's a position one would expect Samsung to take.
Mr. Park also confirmed that Samsung is working on a new APS-C sensor for 2011 to reduce noise at high ISO and introduce 1080p video to the currently 720p NX cameras. On the subject of the NX100's unusual new "i-Function" lenses, he said that all new lenses developed for the NX cameras going forward will carry this feature. An NX10 firmware upgrade will be available in October to make them compatible with the new lenses.
Hands-on with the Canon PowerShot G12
Of all the advanced compact camera launches this season, the G12 seems to have been the least innovative. Not that the DCR Editors' Choice PowerShot G11 gave us much to complain about. Canon has made some expected upgrades to the G12, and it was on display at a press event off-site this afternoon while the Canon booth was still being made ready for showtime tomorrow.
The PowerShot G12 was displayed today with a filter adapter. Removing the ring around the lens and attaching the adapter makes the camera usable with similarly sized filters.
The G12 features the same flip-out LCD G11 users enjoyed. Without looking at the branding on the front of the camera, the new front dial is just about the only way to tell the two cameras apart.
Updates that were due, like the addition of HD video, aren't evident from the outside. Hang tight, though, we'll have a review fiinished before you can say "Auf wiedersehen."
Fujifilm FinePix X100: An advanced compact looking backward
Fujifilm announced today the development of the FinePix X100, an advanced compat point-and-shoot featuring an APS-C sensor. The 12.3 megapixel CMOS imager is paired with a fixed 23mm f/2 prime lens and is equipped with an unusual "hybrid" viewfinder for image composition. It can be used in electronic mode for a live exposure preview, or as an optical viewfinder with shooting data displayed.
It will strike a distincly retro profile with magnesium-alloy surfaces with leather accents. The X100 will focus as close as 10 cm for macro use and will feature a built-in neutral density filter. DCR will be in attendance at Fuji's press conference tomorrow morning, so expect some updates on this announcement from the show.
Ready for the show
With unofficial day one out of the way, stay tuned for more announcements and updates once Photokina 2010 finally kicks off. We'll be covering press conferences from Fujifilm, Panasonic and Sony with lots of show floor action in between. And don't forget to follow DCR on twitter for your travel-size Photokina updates.

Any plans for another mission like this but a different reward?
I have been enjoying my IS-6 very much.
I wouldnt expect another such mission till at least May for that set of holidays, and quite likely not till next christmas. I'd be interested in the number of winners on each server too, if you can?

We do love dresses. Today I bring this awesome collection of plus size women dresses that are in trend this year. You gonna be wowed by the variety of possible styles. I know, you might say I am a crazy bitch, as it's quite impossible to wear sexy frocks for women, but the thing is that modern designers have managed to create flattering designs working on any plus-sized girl and lady. That's why you better forget such phrases as: "I can't possibly pull that off." "I don't have the legs for that!" "That was designed with a woman half my size in mind!" Of course, everyone has their own personal style, but I really fell in love with these precious and unique creations. Here are gathered lovely T-shirt dresses in loose-fit silhouettes, mini frocks, bodycon, fringed and sequined designs.
You can keep things simple and go for LBD that can be complemented by statement jewelry and sexy peep-toe pumps. Don't forget about bodycon styles that are ideal slimming choices. Go for a form-fitting piece and add opaque tights and classy blazer for a more conservative look. Keep your look smooth and streamlined. Leather accents will for sure make you look special. Personally, I like more classy creations featuring minimum embellishments and looking professional. Why? They are versatile and can be worn from work to cocktail events. These frocks can be paired with low heels and blazer-cardigans to work or keep them sexy by adding high heels, red lip, and bright accessories to take you to a party. Scroll down to see more.

Seven months after we lost Jane, it appears that my cycles have normalized somewhat, and we are on track for our first properly-timed natural cycle IUI. (Second IUI overall since Jane.)
Here's a TMI TTC timeline:
|Cycle start
|Positive OPK
|Cycle length
|July 24
|Delivered Jane
|11 weeks
|October 7
|1st period postpartum
|CD8 and CD16 (!)
|26 days
|In Europe, tried ourselves
|November 2
|35 days
|In Texas, tried ourselves
|December 7
|46 days
|IUI after positive OPK
|January 22
|26 days
|C out of town; office closed for holiday
|February 17
|Trigger Friday (CD15)
|This Saturday?
Our plan was to do as many natural cycle IUIs as Kaiser would let us get away with, but our travel plans got in the way twice, and my cycles got progressively longer and more difficult to anticipate (leading me to wonder if this is what perimenopause looks like…)
After a couple of disappointing mid-cycle ultrasounds, the nurse practitioner at Kaiser volunteered that I could call as soon as I got a 'high' or 'peak' reading on my advanced OPK, and she would squeeze me in to take a look. That's how the IUI went down in early January (the day after an 'oops' positive OPK and same-day sonogram showing a mature follicle). And then Presidents' Day went and mucked up the February cycle…
All that to say that this cycle things appear to be on-track:
- On Sunday (CD10), I got a 'high' reading on my OPK.
- I called Monday and got an appointment for a mid-cycle ultrasound today (CD13).
- On ultrasound today, I had not one, but two nice-looking 16 mm follicles (one on each side).
- My uterine lining looked "great" (9-10 mm?).
Since the clinic isn't open Sunday, we scheduled an IUI for Saturday morning, with plans to trigger on Friday.
Wish me luck!

BMP1 gene
bone morphogenetic protein 1
The information on this page was automatically extracted from online scientific databases.
From NCBI Gene:
This gene encodes a protein that is capable of inducing formation of cartilage in vivo. Although other bone morphogenetic proteins are members of the TGF-beta superfamily, this gene encodes a protein that is not closely related to other known growth factors. This gene is expressed as alternatively spliced variants that share an N-terminal protease domain but differ in their C-terminal region. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
From UniProt:
Cleaves the C-terminal propeptides of procollagen I, II and III. Induces cartilage and bone formation. May participate in dorsoventral patterning during early development by cleaving chordin (CHRD). Responsible for the proteolytic activation of lysyl oxidase LOX.

Bonterra Resources Announces Closing of $21.8 Million Private Placement
Nov 08, 2018, 12:38 ET
VANCOUVER, Nov. 8, 2018 /CNW/ - Bonterra Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BTR, US: BONXF, FSE: 9BR1) (the "Company" or "Bonterra") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $21,817,100 (the "Offering").
Sprott Capital Partners acted as lead agent on behalf of a syndicate of agents which included PI Financial Corp., Red Cloud Klondike Strike Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Haywood Securities Inc. (collectively, the "Agents").
Pursuant to the Offering, Bonterra issued 3,443,500 common shares of the Company on a flow-through basis ("FT Shares") at a price of $3.80 per FT Share and 2,646,000 common shares of the Company on a non-flow-through basis ("NFT Shares") at a price of $3.30 per NFT Share.
The gross proceeds from the issuance of the FT Shares will be used for Canadian Exploration Expenses and will qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (the "Qualifying Expenditures"), as defined in subsection 127(9) of the Income Tax Act (Canada), which will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2018 to the initial purchasers of the FT Shares in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares, as applicable, and, if the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each FT Share subscriber for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed. The net proceeds from the NFT Shares will be used for on-going exploration and development work on the Company properties and for general corporate purposes.
In connection with the Offering, the Agents received a cash fee in an amount equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. All securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of issue in accordance with applicable securities laws. The Offering is subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
In addition, the Company also wishes to announce a non-brokered private placement of FT Shares and Non-FT Shares on the same terms as the Offering to raise proceeds of up to $500,000 (the "Non-Brokered Offering"). The Non-Brokered Offering is subject to acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange and is expected to close in the immediate future. All securities issued under the Non-Brokered Offering will be subject to a four month hold period from the date of issue in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The two-wheeled tearaways converged on the town centre at the weekend, blocking roads and pavements, crowding pedestrianised areas and intimidating shoppers.
Now Middlesbrough Council's Street Wardens and Neighbourhood Safety Officers are working closely with Cleveland Police to identify and deter individuals.
Sixteen of those involved have now been identified, and investigations are continuing.
Schools will be visited and warning letters issued to parents in a drive to stamp out the gatherings which are believed to be organised via social media.
And this Friday (January 10), Cleveland Police will put a 48-hour dispersal order in place to break up any further incidents.
Middlesbrough Mayor Andy Preston said: "Cycling's great, and I'd encourage all young people to get out and about on two wheels.
"But that doesn't mean swamping the town centre mob-handed, blocking roads and intimidating law-abiding shoppers and residents.
"It's just thuggery, and we won't tolerate it.
"We already know who many of them are, and their parents will be hearing from us and the police.
"I'd also urge parents to make sure they know where their kids are."
The 48-hour dispersal order will be in place for 48 hours from 4pm on Friday (January 10).
Anyone engaging in anti-social behaviour will be asked to move on and not return for a period of 48 hours. Those who breach the order by returning to the area can be arrested.
Inspector Darren Birkett of Cleveland Police said: "The order is being put in place as a result of an increase in anti-social behaviour involving large groups of youths and anti-social cycling in Middlesbrough town centre.
"The order means that officers can disperse large groups of youths who may be behaving in an anti-social behaviour manner, or causing alarm or distress to members of the public."

China's Pollution Sniffers: Author's Note
HowStuffWorks 2009
There has always been one aspect of the pollution sniffers in Guangdong province that I've never been able to get to the bottom of -- why use humans? I wondered about it when I wrote the article, as well as when I created a "Stuff You Should Know" podcast episode on it, and I wonder about it still now. All of the attendant damage that comes with purposefully exposing humans to air pollution -- and not only that, but getting them to take long deep breaths of it as their jobs -- seems at least dangerous if not totally unnecessary. In the fourth section, I chronicled a number of mechanical sensors that could do just as well and actually much better than human pollution detectors. So, why use people?
This was my first article for HowStuffWorks.com. It was a test article, actually, the one that got me hired, so I have a real affinity for this one. Researching for it also provided my first introduction to the fascinating fact that science doesn't know how we experience the sensation of smell. Getting acquainted with the theories of smell that I talk about in this article also exposed me to how much we have left to learn.

The search for sustainable dividend payers in an unpredictable marketContributor Clare Hart
With an economy that's not too hot but not too cold, the environment for stock pickers is just right. Clare Hart, Portfolio Manager for the JPMorgan Equity Income Fund, explains how her focus on seeking out high-quality dividend-paying companies can reap benefits in today's environment, and tells us where she is currently finding her most attractive stock ideas.
Why does an income-oriented approach make sense in today's environment?
Dividend investing is an attractive way to capture return throughout the market cycle. If you're investing for the long term, you should consider stocks with both growth in their underlying business and an above-market dividend yield. We have found that, over time, this combination allows an investor to capture both sources of a stock's return—capital appreciation and dividend income. Today's steady economic backdrop, with the potential for a bounce in corporate profits this year, is a great environment for a stock picker to identify attractively-valued companies that can grow their business.
Where are you currently finding your most attractive opportunities?
Some of our highest-conviction positions are financial stocks, where reduced expectations for interest rate hikes this year are creating bargains by causing investors to exit names in the sector. Across the banking industry we're finding opportunities across both large banks and regional banks. A regional bank we particularly like is BB&T, a southern-focused franchise with a high dividend yield. BB&T maintains a diversified business model on a product and a geographical basis, which should reduce earnings volatility, while it has augmented its organic growth with well-thought-out acquisitions that complement its existing geographic footprint. As a result, BB&T is focusing on growing its franchise in states with steady population growth, such as Florida and Texas, while expanding into new markets in the south and Midwest.
We're also finding pockets of opportunity within high dividend-yielding sectors, such as consumer staples, utilities and REITs. However, valuations are rich, payout ratios are higher, and growth opportunities for the businesses tend to be lower. Therefore, the potential total return from investing in companies with attractive dividend yields and lower payout ratios, such as financials, is much better. Our focus on identifying stocks with a modest payout ratio is a key part of our investment process, as these companies retain enough capital after paying dividends to invest for future growth, providing us with both a growing stream of dividends and capital appreciation potential.

SELECTED RISK: The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company's financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund's portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. Equity securities are subject to "stock market risk," meaning that stock prices in general (or in particular, the prices of the types of securities in which a fund invests) may decline over short or extended periods of time. When the value of a Fund's securities goes down, an investment in a Fund decreases in value.
There is no guarantee that companies that can issue dividends will declare, continue to pay or increase dividends.

In this conversation, we're discussing pistol safes for use in a defensive situation where everything's on the line.
Obviously, in nearly any circumstance I'd always choose a rifle given the option, but remember, this conversation is about a bedside pistol safe for defensive use, that are accessible quickly. If we wanted to get into it, we could discuss benefits of room clearing, and reduced penetration through drywall of some pistol rounds in comparison to rifles. We'll save this for another discussion, however.
I move towards my pistol safe and realize my RFID bracelet is in the kitchen next to my wallet. I don't sleep in my kitchen. I don't sleep wearing a Live Strong bracelet, and never will. No Bueno.
Adrenaline flowing, I roll towards my pistol safe and enter the super-secret passcode. I expect a loud Bleep, Bleep, Bloop, followed by a holy presentation of my Glock®. Only this time, the batteries are dead… Also, I left the override key near my wallet, in the kitchen, with my RFID bracelet from above…
You know where this is going. My IPhone 7 only works a third of the time when trying to unlock it in perfect conditions. My SpeedVault pistol safe set me back $180. No chance this is an improvement over the IPhone. I'm not even going to risk it. This is something I'd never consider as a defensive and readily available gun storage container with its challenging, at best, unlock mechanism. Not ideal for reliably dispensing my Glock® on demand.
Now we're talking. Through muscle memory and repetition, I effortlessly enter my code. Feeling the quiet yet audible tactile clicks of each button, followed by a quarter turn of the release knock. I know what comes next. The safe opens via spring hydraulic lifts with a perfect presentation of my Glock®. It's reliable, predictable, and highly resistant to failure – unlike many things in life. There are many good mechanical safe options on the market but look at www.Fas1safe.com for bed side or floor mounted placement.
Why a pistol safe?
In a perfect world, I'd have my rifle sitting bedside. One problem. In my perfect world, there are other people. Some of these people make it not so perfect. For my safety (i.e. unwanted access), and theirs, particularly with children in mind, a safe is the responsible option for me. The best I can do is apply the most effective tool for the job, and for me, that's a mechanical pistol safe. Failure of deployment is unacceptable; it must be mechanical.
Mechanical safes are where I put my trust. I refuse to rely on electrical opening mechanisms, finger print scanners, and RFID bracelets to stand between me and my firearm. With that said, I'm a millennial, I love polymer guns, and 1911's equally, and I have children, so I train for and prep with their safety in mind.
Soon, we talk large gun safes, mechanical vs. electrical.

Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Sara Wiseman, author of Becoming Your Best Self, Writing the Divine, Your Psychic Child, and the new Living a Life of Gratitude.
In fourth grade, I got my first pair of glasses, after six months of declining grades due to the fact that I could no longer make out the increasingly vague chalk marks on the classroom blackboard.
I was provided with what might possibly have been the ugliest pair of glasses available to a pre-teen girl in that era: chunky, black ovals that made my eyes look like I was wearing a bug costume, and I marched into my classroom accompanied by taunts of "four eyes" and "glasses face."
But I didn't care.
Because from the moment I donned those glasses, atrocious as they were, I could see. Suddenly, everything that had been dark and drab and fuzzy around the edges burst into clarity, light and color. And with that gift of vision, everything changed. No more poor grades due to not being able to see the blackboard. No more being pounded in sports because I couldn't see the ball…. In my young life, and perhaps in the trajectory of my entire life, those thick, Coke-bottle lenses were a miracle.
Learning to see with the lens of gratitude is sort of like those glasses. One minute we're flailing around in the dark, perceiving our life as sort of a shadowy, chaotic confusion. The next minute, we're blasted into a state of higher consciousness, and we can see—we understand, we perceive, we finally get that our lives are so wonderful, so incredible, so big and huge and overwhelmingly awesome, that we almost can't take it in.
Gratitude is the lens that shifts everything.
Now, it's sometimes said that gratitude is an attitude, or a choice—that we can get there with positive thoughts and positive affirmations.
I'm not so sure about that.
To me, it seems that gratitude is something we grow into, either slowly or quickly, as part of our process of soul growth. It's a waking up, of sorts, from the long deep slumber of being unconscious. Often, gratitude arrives to us out of sudden terrible experiences: illness, crisis, loss, or even a near death experience may serve to crack open our hearts and bring the clarity of gratitude in. Or, gratitude may come to us more slowly, after decades or even a lifetime of things not quite working out: poor relationships, boring jobs, difficult emotions, until one day we simply wake up to the fact that we do not have to live this way.
Regardless of how it happens for you, one thing is clear: the moment that you wake up, and discover yourself as Divine being in earth body, spiritual person in earth container, everything changes. When we view life from the consciousness of gratitude, all of our experience—the good, the bad the all of it—becomes phenomenally, beautifully clear.
And the best thing? Once we really wake up and shift to this new level of consciousness, this miraculous view will never go away.
Our thanks to Sara for her guest post! For more from Sara Wiseman, read her article "Re-Imagining the Holidays: 6 Ways to Resist Overabundance and Create Gratitude."

I am extremely excited for my first-born daughter, who is starting Kindergarten soon. Her school will offer breakfast, lunch and supper, but she will still need to bring some healthy snacks and bottled water with her. So 'insulated lunch boxes' are critical to keep snacks fresh and tasty all day.

So I like to keep everything interesting by purchasing products that I know she will like. It takes a lot of effort to do research on products that are great and affordable out there. However, at the end of day all my effort adds up because I know my kid's new lunchbox will put a smile on her face.

Iodised Salt in Bread - October 9, 2009
Packaging requirements for bakers
If bakers wholesale or pack their product they are required to add the Iodised Salt and Folate to packaging. Instead of Salt it should read Iodised Salt. The Vitamin (Thiamin) declaration should change to Vitamin (Thiamin, Folate).

Love and Compassion
today's reading.
Isaiah 55 "Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price...
the blog.
I love you. I want to know you. I will take care of and provide for you--is the message what hit me as I read Isaiah 55. I was moved, so I read the passage one more time. My thoughts, again, went to the goodness of God, but God's candor in verse 2 caught my attention and I kept looking back at it. After starting out powerfully with the declaration and invitation to "Come, everyone" and take what I offer "without price." God then immediately follows up, basically asking us: Why, when I offer you total satisfaction, do you continue to seek after other things that will never match up? Excellent question. I absolutely know that God loves me and I know what and how He provides. Yet, I still find myself chasing after other unsatisfactory things. So taking a little time to ponder God's question was good for me today, especially during this Christmas season.
So what about you? What's your response to God's question in verse 2? Tami W.

Ariana Grande had some strong words for Piers Morgan after the journalist launched a Twitter tirade on Wednesday against the U.K. girl group Little Mix and her mother, Joan Grande.
The feud started after Morgan criticized the promotional art for Little Mix's upcoming album, "LM5," calling the image a copy of a previous photo shoot done by the Dixie Chicks. "Hey @LittleMix – when are you going to admit you stole this idea from @dixiechicks?," he wrote.
Soon after, Morgan targeted the band again, this time blasting member Jesy Nelson for posting a picture of herself in just her underwear. "Sultry? She looks ridiculous," he tweeted. "Ask her to put some clothes on (if she has any…) & apologise for calling me a tw*t."
In response to the tweet, Joan Grande came to Little Mix's defense before criticizing Morgan for his previous remarks about talk show host Ellen DeGeneres: "Honestly what is wrong with you @piersmorgan ? Didn't your mother ever teach you, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it! You came for @TheEllenShow yesterday which was disgraceful, she is an angel. @LittleMix today, did you ever hear of paying homage? And..well never mind."
Morgan had previously called out double standards in Hollywood in response to a video montage of male celebrity bodies posted by DeGeneres in honor of International Men's Day. In the tweet, Morgan calls DeGeneres' video "the hypocrisy of modern feminism laid bare."
Morgan quickly responded to Joan Grande, calling DeGeneres a hypocrite, and denouncing both Little Mix and Ariana Grande for using their nudity to sell albums.
Morgan's tweet prompted a series of posts from Ariana Grande herself, during which the pop star praised DeGeneres before defending the use of her own sexuality and signing off with the title of her latest single, "thank u, next."
"Ellen is an incredible & kind human being.. I use my talent AND my sexuality all the time because i choose to." Grande wrote. "Women can be sexual AND talented. naked and dignified. it's OUR choice. 🖤 & we will keep fighting til people understand. i say this w all due respect but thank u, next."
Grande ended the conversation by calling out Morgan's double standards by sharing his tweet of a semi-nude photo of himself in front of a fireplace. "When u do it it's ok tho right?," she wrote.

Here's how it works:
1. Digital files are designed for use in digital format and are for personal use only. All artwork is copyright protected and may not be reproduced for any reason without written consent.
2. Digital files are 5"x7" at a 300dpi high resolution. (If you require a different size please let me know ahead of time).
3. The font styles used in digital files may not be identical to the font styles shown on the zazzle product page. While every effort is made to match fonts exactly, there are times when substitutions are required due to font licensing requirements.
4. The price for a digital file is $32 (USD). I require a 50% deposit payable through paypal to begin the design process (you may also pay in full upfront if you prefer). Three edits (such as changes to font colors, styles or sizes) are included in the price. Additional edits are $10 per each three and must be paid in advance.
5. Once the design is complete I will send you a proof for approval with a "PROOF ONLY" transparent mark over the design (mark will not be on the final product). If any edits are needed this is your opportunity to make a note of that. Once you approve the final proof, I will require the balance due through paypal.

We both want the final product perfect, so this eliminates the guesswork.
7. Turnaround time is generally 24-48 hours but sometimes may take a little longer due to unforeseen circumstances.
8. If the file you require is a photo template, please enclose as attachments all the photos you need for the invitation in an unedited high resolution format.
It looks a little more complicated than it really is. If you would like an invitation you see on any of my product pages at zazzle: Reflections, The Grad Shop, or at my site carlarolfe.com turned into a digital file, please contact me here and I will be happy to work with you to create the perfect digital image file for your upcoming event.

What is it?
Pilates is named after its founder, Joseph Pilates who was born in Germany in 1880. As a child he utilised a number of different methods of conditioning including Yoga, Zen and ancient Greek and Roman regimens.
The Pilates regime he developed is very 'strict' and focuses on high level stability and mobility. Physiotherapists have taken on board his exercise approach, but tend to adjust the traditional exercises to bring them to an easier level where patients with back pain or injuries can exercise safely. This is widely known as' Clinical Pilates" rather than 'Classical Pilates'.
Pilates has two main formats-the first is mat based, where small pieces of equipment (theraband stretch bands, foam rollers, swiss balls) are used to challenge the body to improve its inner core strength and flexibility. The second format uses large equipment-a reformer table or trapeze table and utilizes springs, pulleys and resistance.
What we offer
At Mitchelton Physiotherapy we offer mat based Pilates classes that cater for all levels of expertise. All pilates classes are run by experienced physiotherapists.
Our classes run for 1 hour and there will be a maximum of 8 participants per class. Classes must be paid for in advance at Mitchelton Physio. Bookings are essential. Once you have attended your class a receipt can be issued, which can then be used to claim money back from your Private Health Fund. Please check with your health fund in advance if you are covered for group physiotherapy.
Prerequisite to attending classes
As our classes are run by a physiotherapist and qualify for 'group physiotherapy' rebates, it is essential that you have been assessed individually by our physiotherapist prior to your first attendance. If you are a current patient at our practise, and have an understanding of pilates including – core muscle activation, neutral spine and articulated movement please check with the physiotherapist as you are probably ready to attend classes. If you are not a current patient please book a 30 min "Pilates Assessment" with Lou Bennett or Kelly Walsh at Mitchelton Physiotherapy Sport and Rehabilitation Centre prior to your first class.
Location and time of classes
Girl Guide Hall in Teralba Park (Cnr Osborne Road and Pullen Road, Mitchelton).
Monday 6.30 – 7.30 PM
Thursday 9.00 -10.00 AM
What to bring
- A Pilates mat
- A towel to lie on
- Socks if you prefer to have feet covered, barefoot is preferable
- A water bottle

text: In her first political speech after being released from house arrest, Myanmar's pro-democracy opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi has announced that she may support the lifting of sanctions against her country. She was addressing thousands of supporters of her National League for Democracy (NDL) at the party's headquarters in Yangon, Myanmar's main city, on Sunday - her first full day of freedom. "I want to hear the voice of the people, after that we will decide what we want to do," she told the people who greeted her as she got out of her car. "We will work for the people to lift living standards," she said. "I believe in human rights and I believe in the law." The politician said she felt "no antagonism" to those who kept her detained, and that she was "well treated" during her detention. Aung San Suu Kyi said she is willing "to work with any democratic forces", a sign that she is seeking to build support outside the NLD, which is an officially disbanded political party. Al Jazeera's special correspondent in Myanmar was in the crowd as Aung San Suu Kyi spoke. Chaos outside office The correspondent, who cannot be named for security reasons, said that there was no sign of increased police or military presence around the city before the speech, but there was chaos outside the NLD headquarters. "When her vehicle arrived, it was literally impossible for her to open her door," he said. "There was very much a lot of pushing and shoving. Thousands of people have literally blocked the streets where the NDL is located." "I want to hear the voice of the people" Aung San Suu Kyi Her announcement that she is willing to change her stance on sanctions is a dramatic change, he said. "In the past she has campaigned for sanctions. She thought this was the best way to force change from the outside," he said. It is yet to be seen whether the shift reflects a change in Aung San Suu Kyi's overall strategy. Our correspondent said that Sunday's comments suggest that she may be adopting a reformist approach, rather than resuming her longstanding battle to leverage international pressure against the ruling generals. Her tactics are likely to be decided in meetings that will be held in the days and weeks to come, as she travels around the country. "What remains to be seen is whether she has had a change of heart," he said. "The exact tactics are still to be determined." Treading softly Speeches by Aung San Suu Kyi have, in the past, led to her arrest. This time, Al Jazeera's Marga Ortigas reported from the Thai capital, Bangkok, she was more cautious and "not as fiery". "It seems that she is very careful not to have that happen again," she said. It also remains unclear what the government's strategy is going to be, Michel Vatikiokis of the Bangkok-based Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue told Al Jazeera. "The advice I am sure sh is getting from everyone is not to overplay her hand," he said. "We've also seen in the past that traps are laid to justify re-imprisoning her." "She has to be careful to talking much more to the Burmese and less to foreigners." Aung San Suu Kyi will need to build communication with the country's youth, he said, and clarify her position on the country's ethnic tensions. Exiles' excitement Meanwhile, expectations are running high among the many Myanmar citizens who live in exile near the Thai border, Al Jazeera's Aela Callan reported from Mae Sot in Thailand."With the release of Aung Sung Suu Kyi, there is definitely a sense among the ethnic groups, among the refugees, among the former political prisoners, that this is just the beginning for them," she said. "Their excitement has been relatively contained, because they're waiting to see what happens next. "While there is a sense that Aung Sung Suu Kyi's release will not dramatically change the lives of people in this region, there is real hope that she will be the one who can unite the various forces of opposition within the country, to bring them together and create change". About 20,000 people fled Myanmar to seek refuge in neighbouring Thailand after clashes between government troops and ethnic Karen fighters along the border were sparked by controversial general elections earlier this month. The fighting erupted after widespread accusations that the November 7 elections - the country's first vote in 20 years - was rigged by the military government, which some ethnic groups accuse of mistreatment. In recent days, however, things have returned to normal, Callan reported. Many of those who fled have returned home. Pagoda visit planned Later on Sunday, Aung San Suu Kyi was planning a customary visit to Yangon's Shwedagon pagoda. She made a brief public appearance on Saturday shortly after her release from house arrest. Witnesses said hundreds of people rushed to her home after the authorities removed barbed-wire barricades in front of her compound. "We must work together in unison to achieve our goal," Aung San Suu Kyi told her supporters in an appearance at the gate of her compound, as the crowd chanted, cheered and sang Myanmar's national anthem. Almost 1,000 people, including journalists, had gathered near her lakeside house throughout the day, many chanting "Release Aung San Suu Kyi" and "Long live Aung San Suu Kyi". Some wore T-shirts emblazoned with messages pledging to stand with her.

They are looking to set up the first public meeting at the end of February.
From the project scope document:
Lots more information in the scope document and minutes.Our principle concerns are:
* High levels of atmospheric pollution being generated by heavier than anticipated traffic. This is an unacceptable health hazard, to which children, the frail and elderly are especially vulnerable.
* The poor quality of external space, which is dominated by busy roads, narrow pavements, large areas of under-utilized surface parking and inadequate landscaping
* The lack of trees or other soft landscaping of a quality or scale sufficient to mitigate the negative effect of traffic and large car parks
* The lack of integration between the site and adjoining residential neighbourhoods. This is exacerbated by the barrier effect of roads around the site - creating an environment for vehicles, rather than local residents and people using the area
* The bland quality of the place, increasingly drained of local character and identity. The ubiquitous style of retail and commercial buildings, not necessarily bad in itself, but pieces of an anonymous grey corporate jigsaw that is making everywhere the same and nowhere specific
I hope that this can lead to a positive approach to community engagement in the development of Bell Green, with a long-term vision for the development of the area.
