More Than Just Playtime
My husband and I recently met my sister and her husband for one of those "paint nights" where you meet at a bar, recreate a masterpiece and have a bit of fun. When my husband asked my sister why she decided to plan this outing she explained that as part of her breast cancer recovery, her holistic doctor recommended she take up something artistic to help relieve stress. She was quick to point out that I've always had paper crafting for stress relief and artistic expression and I realized that she was right!!! When I sit down to work on a project, I can COMPLETELY lose myself... truly not a care in the world. HUGE chunks of time can fly by unnoticed when I'm in the throes of creative inspiration, even if it is only recreating a masterpiece....
This is the WONDERFUL project I copied from Karen! Check out her blog HERE!!! Big "THANKS" to my dear friend (and local Stampin Up Demonstrator), Cindy, for being game to help me recreate this incredible project!!! Using the iridescent ice with the silver ink for the snowflake was utter brilliance!!!! If anyone in the Chandler, AZ area is looking for a local Stampin Up Distributor, you can check her out HERE! There's only a couple more days to order to get your hands on a couple of the items I used to recreate this gem (they were seasonal items)!
I really had a blast tonight with my friend Cindy making these curvy keepsake luminaries and I definitely had a blast with my sister and her husband at paint night. I made a mental note that the "sharing" of artistic expression and relieving stress is truly an added bonus and an even bigger blessing than if I'm holed up in my craft room. I think it's something I need to do a little bit more of. But that being said, there is NOTHING like shutting the craft room door and getting lost in creativity!!! Here's to a healthy 2015!!!

Nope, no advice. I takes time to write. It takes time to organize your thoughts and get then out there for the world. And you want your content to have meaning and purpose (not be a post for the sake of posting), and for that, you will need to invest the time. I think if you are "creating" for 10-15 minutes, you are ahead of most! And while I've gotten away from it for a short (long) while now, it is helpful to sit down and brainstorm a week's worth of posts about things that happen or are happening that inspires you.

Two blog posts in one day - woo! I had already written this recipe out for friends, so I thought I'd share it as it's really delicious (even if I say so myself) - I hope you enjoy it!
This is by no means a traditional Laksa recipe, it's my own version using commercially prepared curry & laksa paste & whatever vegetables I happen to have handy. I like to make Laksa when I'm feeling a little under the weather or if I haven't been eating properly, as it's loaded with lovely fresh vegetables. It's very spicy & warming (fantastic if you have a cold because it really helps clear your head & chest) yet because it's also really zingy & zesty, I find it's just as nice in the hot weather too. It's very filling, most definitely a meal in itself.Read More

A History of Nebraska Agriculture: A Life Worth Living
Once known as the "Great American Desert," Nebraska's plains and native grasslands today make it a domestic leader in producing food, feed and fuel. From Omaha to Ogallala, Nebraska's founding farmers, ranchers and agribusiness leaders endured hardships while fostering kinships that have lasted generations. While many continued on the trails leading west, others from around the world stayed, seeking a home and land to cultivate. American Doorstop Project co-founders and authors Jody L. Lamp and Melody Dobson celebrate the state's forgotten and untold agricultural history, highlighting more than a century and a half of agriculture industry, inventions and innovations in the Cornhusker State.

I just found out that two shows taped about my Hiati earthquake survival experience will both air this weekend.
On Saturday night (June 4), the National Geographic Channel will air a show called "Witness: Caught by Disaster," featuring my story among others, and on Sunday I will be featured on the Biography Channel's "I Survived."
You can imagine how strange this feels. Some days I feel so disconnected from my earthquake experiences, as if they happened to someone else in a story that I read. Other fleeting moments I am right back in the darkness, smelling the broken concrete and hoping for rescue (speaking publicly about my adventure usually brings me back, among other things).
And now holding my newborn son, Sam, so grounds me into my present, normal life, that it makes these occasional media exposures seem especially surreal—not something that happens to ordinary me (surreal is a state of mind I'm becoming accustomed to).
I don't know how these shows will turn out. I haven't seen them, and you never know what they'll cut or keep (be warned: many stories on I Survived involve violence).
But I'm hopeful.
I'm sure they'll tell some parts of the story that others have found interesting—what it's like to face a bad earthquake and be trapped in a collapsed building, how technology (including my iPhone) helped at key moments, etc. But I really hope they also left in some of the positive messages in the story.
I hope they remind people about the challenges faced by the Haitian people, especially the poor, and their resilience to rise above their circumstances. Hopefully the shows will keep at least a short profile of Compassion's ongoing work with impoverished children in Haiti and generate additional support for this Christian ministry that I love.
I hope some testimony of how God was present with me in my crisis, working on my heart even as He preserved my life, comes through in these secular accounts, because I think many people need to be reminded of how God meets us in times of crisis and can be trusted no matter what.
Hearing such testimony on the National Geographic Channel and the Biography Channel, where God is rarely discussed in seriousness, would be very encouraging.
However the shows turn out, perhaps they will draw more people to the complete account in the book, which I believe does hold messages of hope and challenge for people in many situations. So I'm grateful that both of these channels found interest in my story.
If you end up watching either show, I'd be interested in your thoughts. And if you haven't encountered the whole story yet… check out Unshaken, still in many bookstores.

Ripple has begun to distribute the orange flesh sweet potato vines to farmers in the Nkhata Bay District in an effort to provide a cheap staple food that is more nutritious than the white sweet potato variety they have been eating in the past. The new sweet potatoes require less water to cook and provide more nutrients, like vitamin A.

A Heartbreaking Mission
Tirana, Albania — Barely six weeks ago, the recreational facility and park grounds known as Piscina, in the nation's capital, was one of the few places where Albanian families could go for a swim, hike through the forest, or ride in bumper cars.
That was before local authorities turned Piscina into a refugee camp.
Since early April, it has served as a tent city for 2,500 ethnic Albanian refugees forced out of Yugoslavia by the Serbs.
Living eight or nine to a tent the size of your average Manhattan bedroom, the men mill around the compound with dull eyes and nothing to do. The women, dressed in head scarves and the baggy harem-style pants so popular in their culture, either sit in the tents or tend to their bored children. Though more animated than their war-numbed parents, some of the children seem to be worse off physically.

Despite relief workers' best efforts, many have skin diseases and stomach complaints.
Leading a delegation of two dozen American Jewish leaders around the camp, a worker remarks, "This is the Hilton of refugee camps. The situation is much, more worse in other places."
Taking in the scene, that's a bit hard for the visitors to imagine. True, unlike many of the camps, the refugees have access to nutritious hot food and medical care. But a glance into the women's communal toilets, where feces and soiled tissues and sanitary napkins are piled high in the stalls' corners, reveals just how little separates these displaced people from a rampant epidemic. And the only thing separating them from the rain that begins to fall are the Israeli tents they're living in.
Bad as conditions are in Piscina, they would be a great deal worse were it not for the assistance provided by the government and people of Israel and the American Jewish community.
Since March, Israelis have donated $1.25 million and another $500,000 worth of blankets, clothes, tents and other essentials. North American Jews have given an additional $3 million to the Kosovo campaign of the American Joint Distribution Committee, a UJA-Federation beneficiary.
The Jewish Agency and JDC are also assisting more than 2,000 Yugoslavian Jews caught in the fighting.
For the Kosovo campaign, The Jewish Agency has transported more than 120 tons of these supplies in nine chartered flights and has plans to bring more. To ensure that the food, medicine, baby formula and diapers reach the refugees, the agency has a hired a small team of Israeli relief workers to oversee distribution. The Joint, too, has a team of professionals to help assess the needs of the refugees, among them Dr. Rick Hodes, an Ethiopia-based physician originally from Syosset, L.I.
The aid, which continues to pour in, is being distributed to 12 refugee camps. In several instances, these supplies were the very first to reach starving camp residents.
The Jewish leaders, who have flown to Israel, Albania and Hungary with suitcases full of supplies, are here to see how the money their communities have raised is being used, and to gauge what still needs to be done.
That the goods are needed becomes evident as soon as the delegation alights from the plane. Greeted by the deputy prime minister at Tirana International Airport, the leaders learn that poverty-stricken Albania, which has about 3 million citizens, is providing refuge to more than 400,000 refugees.
"There is a lot of help, but there are more refugees than help," notes the official, referring to the efforts of various relief agencies. Then, singling out the Jewish community's efforts, he says, "we had expected this sort of help because the Jewish people are people who have suffered in the past." Stressing that Albania gave refuge to several hundred Jews during the Holocaust, he adds, "we had expected help because Albanians showed solidarity with the Jewish people during the Second World War."
Though the VIP speech is obviously meant to soften the philanthropists' hearts, it is unnecessary. Merely visiting Pescina accomplishes that.
Breaking up into three groups, the leaders meet refugees such as Sinan Casnechee, a 38-year-old farmer whose deeply lined face makes him look 15 years older. Walking out of his tent, which, along with the tent next door is home to 18, the father of three relates his story.
"The Serbs came and set fire to our village. Some of our neighbors were murdered. We took what we could but it wasn't much because we had to travel by foot. There were no carts, no horses. We carried the children," he says.
"Does your family get enough to eat here?" a visitor asks. "So-so," Casnechee replies. Asked how he and the others wile away their time, he says, "We don't do anything. We sit down all day and talk to each other."
Most of the others relate similar stories. Nahas Sherlameti, who was an unemployed factory worker in Kosovo, fled to Albania with his wife and three children. His brother-in-law, who arrived with them, recently returned to Macedonia to find his wife and two children.
"The soldiers came in the morning but we couldn't do anything because they had guns. They stole our money," Sherlameti recounts. Pointing to his clothes and the clothes of his 9-year-old son, he says, "everything we have here was donated." When asked how often he and the other refugees can take a shower, the reply is "once a week."
The only upbeat moment of the day comes when groups of 3- and 4-year olds sitting in "school tents" are handed JDC activity boxes containing toy cars, motorcycles, colored pens and Barbie dolls. "They're children and children need something to keep them busy," says a JDC field worker. "It's important to give them as much as a normal life as possible. That's why we've also donated 10,000 books to start libraries in the refugee camps. People need a focus."
Gazing into the school tents, Eric Goldstein, an attorney from the Upper West Side, says that, though brief, his 12-hour visit to the camp "was worth it."
"It was an important opportunity to see our dollars being used by the Jewish Agency and the Joint. From what I've seen, we're providing supplies where there otherwise wouldn't be many."
Goldstein says that the most moving part of the trip was meeting the children. "I saw children who look like my children. During the Holocaust, my children could have been in this position."
Lewis Norry, an attorney from Rochester, N.Y., agrees that the trip was well worth the effort, as well as the cost (the visit was financed either by the leaders themselves or their communities).
Ticking off the items he personally bought for the refugees, Norry says, "I had the opportunity to bring over 10 tents, 1,000 diapers, 1,000 baby wipes, 20 pounds of chocolate, 50 pairs of women's underwear and 50 pairs of socks." Explaining why he dug so deeply into his own pockets, he says, "I had a moral problem spending thousands of dollars to see suffering and not relieving the suffering."
Having seen the desperation in the refugees' eyes, he says, "I can now go back and more personally tell the story of what's going on here. If we don't do it, who will?"

Security Vendors frag themselves
Security Vendors continue to shoot themselves
in the Foot.
"Ethical concerns mean that security firms do not allow their infrastructure to be used in sending spam or running attacks against victims. By monitoring such instructions it's therefore possible for cybercrooks to program command and control servers to disable or simply ignore these machines, thus depriving security firms of vital intelligence in how zombie botnets are operating in the real world."
Some bot nets run 13 million zombies.
And the Security Vendors have problems letting
just on of those infected PCs run to collect
Their ethical concerns are at the very least misguided
and at most incompetence.
The hackers and malware Vendors are kicking the Security
Vendors ass at every turn.
And they are playing a poor second best, and promoting
their security products with misnomers if not out right
The stogy ineffective Security Vendors are are blind
sidling the public by developing policys and programing
methods that require all other security products to be
uninstalled and not making their security products
compatible with other Vendors.
They are not defending their turf, there are 500+
fake Security Vendors on the WWW now.
Our testes of the basic function of these vendors
points to their incompetence, most of the time
virus are spotted by anti vir programs 80% of the
time, if you use multiple anti vir programs this
increases to around 95%.
But the vendors block the use of other Security products
with their products, making the user less safe.
I would suggest that "Ethical concerns mean that security firms do not allow their infrastructure to be used in sending spam or running attacks against victims."
are misguided.
Doctors run double blind tests where one group gets sugar pills while the other
group gets the real medicine.
Some times the members that don't get the real Med.
If the Medical profession can ethically run double blind tests
then certainly the Security Vendors can allow some
of the millions of bots to run to collect intelligence to kill
the bot farms.
The Security Vendors are already so far behind
the hackers, they don't need unnecessary misguided
handicaps preventing them from collecting Intelligence.
So far I rate the Security Vendors a "D" failing grade.
They are NOT getting the job done.

Reading Daly, 30 Years On
From my journal, October 26, 2016:
It is fucking hard to be rereading Mary Daly's Gyn/Ecology thirty years on from the first time I read her and to realize that I had the "answers" and the analysis and yet I could not avoid being eaten alive by the forces of the sadostate. I descended into the phallocratic underworld and completely lost my way and my self. Which was the main point of all the violence – to consign me to a living death.
Within the sadostate women are ontologically undermined, for the sadointent is the conversation of female participation in Be-ing into mere being, that is, the conversion of women into things, and into complicity and thinghood. To the extent that phallic lust succeeds, women are reduced to nonbe-ing.
Robert Whitaker's book Mad In America:The Enduring Mistreatment of the Mentally Ill partly woke me up in 2008 and sent me along a path of healing; facing my addiction to the behavior-control chemicals that I was prescribed by doctors who were apparently attempting to partially euthanize me. They were trying to shut me up about having been raped and battered by my father for the first 12 years of my life. I did manage to free myself from the drug straitjacket, tapering carefully from the behavior-control chemical cocktail slowly over the course of 4 years.
Whitaker went over the some of the same material as Daly, chronicling the rise of gyno/genocidal psychiatry – it's connections to eugenics and Nazi medical experiments and the mass murder of mental patients during WWll in Germany, but Daly's words were absent from my damaged brain in 2008, my memory wiped clean by the chemicals and the psychiatric trauma I had endured. And so I wasn't able to see the whole picture and make the connection that psychiatry is one front, a major one, in the war on women.
There is indeed a war on women. There is a force in this culture, in all of the civilizations on the planet, (except the most primitive and endangered) that absolutely HATES women and nature and wants us silenced, bound and gagged, controlled, tortured, eliminated, made into a lifeless plastic substitute. I have been encountering it everywhere, but I have been unable to name it or see the connections between the various manifestations. I kept taking it personally, kept blaming myself for my difficulties.
Most people really are asleep, are sleepwalking through their lives, automatically acting out atrocities. unaware of the violence they do to themselves, to women and children, to the living planet.
SO -what was I expecting from enlightenment? I guess I was expecting peace and joy and freedom, not this creeping sense of horror upon finding myself awake in the middle of the mass nightmare we call civilization.
I spoze I could go back to the professional euthanizers and have them chemically neutralize me again.
Nah. I'd rather be awake and aware and in pain than be one of the zombies walking around with their eyes glued to their smartphones, oblivious to the horror raining down all around us.

GameSpot Asia Beat Ep. 2: Diablo III Hellstravaganza
This week's show is about a particular hellish action RPG that made headlines on May 15; stay awhile and listen to what we have to say.
Yes, I know "hellstravaganza" isn't a real word, but we were really stoked and excited about talking about the clickfest known as Diablo III. And by "we," I mean GameSpot Australia's Randolph Ramsay, CNet Asia's Aloysius Low, and yours truly, GameSpot Asia's Jonathan Toyad.
After 11:46 (we did play other games, albeit briefly), we talk about our adventures on the various acts, our characters of choice, how the Southeast Asian launch worked out, and also about some spoilers concerning the game's story at 44:54, so do not go beyond that timestamp if you wish to preserve your Diablo III story experience.
Unless you have some vendetta against action RPGs, this is definitely the podcast you should tune in to and download onto your music-playing devices.
So what are your favorite Diablo III moments? What are your favorite characters and skill setups? What do you think of the show, now that we're two episodes in? Send your thoughts below.
PS: In case you didn't know about the GSL StarCraft II match we talked about at 23:51, check this link to the video.

I'm currently working on a site for a client (still a work in progress) and trying to fix some of the mobile issues on the site.
The main issue I'm having is that mobile browsers (android + iphone) load the site completely zoomed-in on the top left portion of the site. I'd like it to be zoomed out to fit the whole site width in the viewport, no matter the width of the viewport.
The site can be viewed here: http://www.graceprep.com
Is there an easy fix for this? I'm experienced with HTML / CSS but I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to mobile browsers.
Here is some HTML in my header.php file that might be relevant. I tried changing the width property to no avail. The initial-scale property is effective, but too broad - I'd like the site to be completely zoomed-out for all mobile browsers, no matter the orientation or screen-size.
Is there a way to do this?

When looking up the term brand in the dictionary, the definition is quite simple: "A type of product manufactured by a company under a particular name"
If it were that simple, surely there wouldn't be so many agencies, experts and gurus who specialise in making brands more than just a product with a name.
At Columinate, we've done our fair share of branding research among consumers and employees and often we see that branding is much more than a name. It also means different things to different people. In employee surveys, we often see human resource related issues creep in; and this has a great effect on how the brand is perceived. With consumers it's often about the feeling associated with the product or service.
In a recent survey we asked consumers on our panel to define, in their own words, what a brand is. The iconic brands like Nike and Coca-Cola helped those who didn't quite have the vocabulary to articulate what they thought, while others provided better definitions than most branding gurus. What stood out most were the elements related to the corporate identity; the name, logo and slogan. Consumers often referred to "being able to recognise" the brand without any words being present.
Brand was also often referred to as the "idea" of what the company stands for – very much being consumer language for what marketers like to call mind share or brand equity. Reputation or whether you have a positive or negative feeling toward the company was another popular response.
What is clear is that brand is a post-modern child, it takes many meanings and is often difficult to express in words alone. The implication for measurement is obvious; make sure you define what you mean with the term brand, especially if you want to avoid employees referring to their direct manager instead of the company brand.
Whether constructs like reputation can stand alone also begs a question to be answered – is reputation a product of brand? Or is brand a product of reputation?
The world cloud illustrates the responses from almost 4000 consumers from our panel – looking at it qualitatively, there are a few gems:
"A popular product that has a good reputation and its name and logos are recognised instantly!"
"A well-recognised institution / company which really helps with the sales of the company. For example if people see the brand name Woolworths they make sure that they go and get what is inside- since it is one of the biggest brands- and it has never let them down."
"An identifiable mark/logo that represents certain values, lifestyles, products, services or popularity, while it also evokes certain emotions (positive or negative) and holds persuasive powers. E.g. Coke, Nike, Discovery, Kulula.com"
"Brand awareness is something emotional that people react to rather than just a logo or a uniform. Branding something needs to get the emotional connection with human beings in order for it to be properly recognised. I personally think branding has to create that warm feeling inside to be successful"
"Branding is a company logo that is used and advertised in such a way that even if there are no words written or spoken with the logo it is so well known that you know exactly what it is and what it is worth and what you can use it for. For instance the NIKE brand or Coke"
"It is the image and feeling that you get when you look at the product. You will have a positive or negative feeling the moment you see the name. This 'feeling' that you get has everything to do with branding."

And the winner is... after months of hard work your heart is in your mouth. You know this decision could change your life and thousands of others too. And the winner is... not you. One comms person was in that boat. But she is still smiling. A week on, this is what she learned.
by Emma Rodgers
Stoke-on-Trent bid to become UK City of Culture in 2021. Waiting in Hull with bated breath for BBC's One Show live winner's announcement, the disappointment was overwhelming when we didn't win. A week on and it's been therapeutic to consider the lessons learnt for communications and marketing.
Bidding shone a light on Stoke-on-Trent
So we didn't win but we definitely didn't lose either. Bidding and being shortlisted to the last five in the competition has without question raised the profile of Stoke-on-Trent. The positivity has been immense and the confidence of the city has grown. People from outside the city have said that they're looking at Stoke-on-Trent through new eyes. People in the city are too. As a colleague put it "Stokies have learnt to love the city and themselves again" and that genuinely is something you can't put a price on.
Collaboration is key
The power of Stoke-on-Trent's campaign was maximising assets in the city. Partnerships are not new for us but bidding took this to a new level. Both our football clubs, media like our local newspaper who have a massive social media presence and our local radio stations, public sector partners, big hitting businesses such as JCB and smaller ones too, cultural groups, the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Local Enterprise Partnership and more were all involved. We made connections and build on these collaborations for the benefit of Stoke-on-Trent's bid. It gave us maximum bang for the budget that we had and showed that when collectively everyone's telling the same story, it can make a huge difference.
Get creative and push the boundaries
Our bid was literally sent into space by the World's Strongest Man Eddie Hall and Stoke City FC's Peter Crouch with the support of KMF, a brilliant local business in the area. We used a duck mascot – reflecting our local dialect - in many different ways including creating a huge 30ft inflatable and 1.2m ducks that went on water. Getting creative while making things happen went hand-in-hand to make the bid campaign unique and memorable.
Be clear on your narrative
Bidding helped us hone our narrative as World capital of ceramics. Our unique selling point of pottery and 'making art from dirt' helped us stand apart and loomed large through everything we did. Without clarity of narrative, then honestly you may as well not bother.
Take people with you and explain the benefits
One out of two people agreed in Stoke-on-Trent that bidding was either a positive or very positive to do. By engaging regularly about the benefits of winning for the city, people felt able to understand what it meant for them. One example of this was when we linked with Mark Gregory, Chief Economist for EY and a Stokie, so he could comment expertly and tangibly on the difference winning would make. Residents, businesses, young people and the cultural sector all became ambassadors for the city's bid and that in itself was truly an amazing thing.
It helped us develop too
Bidding for city of culture was both exhilarating and exhausting. But through it all, we learnt so much. Our communications and marketing skills were fine-tuned, we learnt new skills too. Video was absolutely crucial in the campaign and the role of social media was indisputable. We became more confident and tried and tested approaches so we learnt what worked and what didn't. That learning was without doubt a brilliant professional experience for us both as a team and individuals. I'd heartily recommend that if you have the chance, embrace the opportunity with a passion.
I've never been more proud of the communications team and the contribution they made nor of the wider #TeamStoke who have really shown what can be done together.
Emma Rodgers is head of communications at Stoke-on-Trent City Council and was part of Stoke-on-Trent's bid team. She is also vice chair ofLGcommunications.

The agricultural sector in India is the main source of livelihood for more than 70 percent of the rural population. Similarly half of the households in the rural population show some sign of poverty (Singh & Walis 2015). In this scenario if the main aim of the Indian government is economic development and poverty reduction, then the priority should be the growth of the agriculture sector.
One of the major reforms in the agriculture sector in recent years is the inflow of foreign direct investment. Even though most of the areas in agriculture sector is still closed for the foreign investment. There has been significant increase in foreign investment in several sectors.

Every year an unknown number of hedgehogs die or suffer horrific injuries because bonfire piles are not checked before being lit. To save hedgehogs and other wildlife from appalling suffering the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS) urges that bonfires should not be built until the day they are to be lit. This will not only save wildlife from burning to death but will also stop the bonfire from getting soaked should it rain the night before!
Fay Vass, Chief Executive of BHPS, said "Piles of bonfire material look like five star hotels to a hedgehog in search of a hibernation site. It is crucial to dismantle and move bonfire material that has been stored in advance on open ground.
Move it to another spot just before lighting.
Ensure it's moved to clear ground – never on top of a pile of leaves as there could be a hedgehog underneath, and not too close to pampas grass which can ignite very easily and is another favourite spot for hedgehogs to hide under."

Society Patron Ben Fogle added "It's awful to think of poor hedgehogs being burnt alive on bonfire night, please, please check fire piles carefully before lighting them. Hedgehogs are a species in decline, every single one is precious."
If a large bonfire has to be built in advance, protect it whilst building by putting some chicken wire one metre high all the way around the bottom. This should be held in place with stakes and the wire should slope outwards at an angle to make it difficult to climb, as hedgehogs are good climbers!
If, whilst building, a bonfire is left unattended, for however short a time; it's imperative to check for young children, hedgehogs and other animals, including family pets, before lighting. As hedgehogs tend to hide in the centre and bottom two feet of the bonfire, check by gently lifting the bonfire section by section with a pole or broom. Never use a spade or fork as these can stab them. Using a torch will help and listen for a hissing sound, as this is the noise they make when disturbed. Fay continues "If hedgehogs are found, take as much of the nest as you can and place them in a high-sided cardboard box with plenty of newspaper/old towelling. Ensure there are air holes in the lid and that the lid is secured firmly to the box, as hedgehogs are great climbers. Wear garden gloves so as not to get human smells on them and to minimise stress caused to the hedgehog, also, it protects your hands from their spikes. Put the box in a safe place such as a shed or garage well away from the festivities, as fireworks can terrify them, and offer them meaty cat or dog food and fresh water to drink. Once the bonfire is totally dampened down, release the hedgehog under a hedge, bush or behind a stack of logs with more food and water."
Going to an official organised fireworks display is a far safer option for both humans and animals.

Jails need to be reformed
Tanvir Siddiqui
Amidst reports of over-crowding of jails across the country and lack of proper facilities to the inmates, it was a welcome gesture by the Chief Justice of Pakistan Mr Justic Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry to have visited the Kot Lakhpat Jail near Lahore the other day. It was an eloquent manifestation of concern for the inmates of the Jail by the Chief Justice, The main objective of the unannounced visit by the Chief Justice was to see the arrangements made for the prisoners in addition to hearing prisoners complaints directly. It is good that the Chief Justice feels for the poor people and his visit to Jail to have an on the spot assessment of the conditions in which prisoners were being held would send a loud message not only to jail authorities across the country but other public dealing institutions to set their houses in order.
The Chief Justice in addition to visiting various barracks and dispensary inquired about the provision of food and other facilities under the law to the prisoners. It was surprising for the prisoners who appeared to be much excited that Chief Justice of Pakistan had personally come to see their living conditions and treatment being meted out to them in jail. He took notice of the overcrowded barracks and directed authorities to redress the situation. It is worth mentioning that off and on prisoners have been complaining of inhuman treatment meted out to them by the jail staff and they had been staging protests over it. The latest agitation in this connection was in Hyderabad.
The visit of CJ Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry to Kot Lakhpat is an indication that he is determined that the system gets needed reforms to remove injustices and distortions, which is a holy mission. The visit to the jail in sultry conditions by the Chief Justice is reflective of his desire to reach to those who are unable to air their grievances and give them hope of justice at the door step.
Ever since the reinstatement of the Chief Justice, the people in general and the poor in particular have heaved a sigh of relief. Justice Iftikhar Muhammad has endeared himself among the people as they know that there is some honest and dedicated person at the helm of judiciary to redress their problems and provide them quick and inexpensive justice.
As for the conditions in the jails are concerned, there can be no two opinions that a complete overhaul; of the conditions prevailing there need to be done without any loss of time. The jails are overcrowded and under-trial and the convicts are huddled together, The quality of food served is too poor to talk about.
There is gross violation of the jail manual and prisoners are denied the facilities to which they are entitled. Under these circumstances, the visit of the Chief Justice of Pakistan to one of the most notorious jail will certainly send a message to the officials concerned to take remedial measures and treat the convicted as well as under-trial strictly according to the Jail manual. We salute the Chief Justice for finding time to undertake the visit to the Kotlakhpat jail. We are sure his visit will follow necessary message to the authorities concerned not to improve the living conditions in the jails. Another aspect that needs to be addressed is to expand the capacity of the jails and to ensure the appearance of the under trials before the Judges/Magistrates on the date of hearing so that the pending cases do not pile up. It should dawn upon the authorities concerned that Justice delayed is justice denied.

Recommended Video #11 - Iron Chic
This is a rather special Recommended Video. It's a full live set recorded in Philadelphia, PA in March of 2011 by the band Iron Chic.
It's been great to see this band grow since their demo in 2008; their debut album Not Like This has just been repressed on vinyl again through Dead Broke (4th pressing colours - 200 Black, 100 Clear). The camera wonderfully captures just about every raised fist and smiling face. You can really tell how much this band means to those people.
Not Like This is available for download at a very low price through Bandcamp.
These guys are driven, honest, and D.I.Y. I'm proud to know them. They are constantly reminding me how lucky I was to grow up on Long Island when there was a huge D.I.Y. punk rock scene. Still giving kids a place to go and something to do. Keep up the good work.

"This is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune."
It is the very first book I read by Terry Pratchett. I might be ashamed of myself having started Dodger rather than Discworld series, but perambulating Victorian London through Dodger's eyes, it opens my doors of curiosity to embrace the fantastic Discworld. To be frank, I was already deep in thought soon after I read the first line of the dedication page to Henry Mayhew (1812-1887) , "To Henry Mayhew for writing his book" – London Labour and the London Poor – a book which I have longed to read from the first to the last page. "What Dickens did surreptitiously, showing the reality of things via the medium of the novel, Henry Mayhew and his confederates did simply by facts, lots and lots of facts, piling statistics on statistics." I remember there is a chapter where Mayhew confronts and interviews a little street sweeper, which is indeed overwhelming upon my first glance. In Dodger, Mayhew also appears on pages as one of the major historical characters of Victorian England alongside Mister Charlie Dickens (1812-1870).
"You are so sharp that you might cut yourself."
Inspired by Dickens's novel, Oliver Twist, this book focuses on an eponymous character, Dodger, a youthful, prismatic and adventurous seventeen-year-old tosher (sewer scavenger) living near Seven Dials under the rookeries world and the attic roof of Solomon's, a Jewish watchmaker with a dog of a funny name called "Onan" (Footnote from Pratchett: the name of "Onan", if not familiarised with The Bible, get some help from Google, or any priest – possibly a slightly embarrassed one – will help you). Dodger's former careers before coming to a fabulous tosher is better not to be revealed here, but one day something incredulous incident happens which changes his life forever – the act of saving a damsel in distress could be no big deal and re-enacted all the time in Victorian London; however it is the damsel's identity, his resourcefulness and swiftness of grating drain covers which add up together and clash into consecutive heroic acts involving skulduggery and dark plots forthwith. The story is adequately seasoned with the help of bountiful famous accomplices, the fateful fog of London, as well as some playful disguise and camouflage.
"Once upon a time, Marie Jo had told him that with his skills, he should be on the stage, as she had been, but since he knew that actors didn't get paid very much he had always reckoned that the only reason to be on a stage would be to rob it."
Concerning those bountiful famous accomplices who work in concert with Dodger, apart from Henry Mayhew as is mentioned above, there is Mister Charlie Dickens, a writer of Morning Chronicle, headquartered in Fleet Street. He acts as a journalist and parliamentary reporter, befriending with spikes on the desks and foggy London.
- The only monsters in Fleet Street, he had been told, were the printing presses whose thumping made the pavement shake, and which demanded to be fed every day with a diet of politics, 'orrible murders and death.
- My answer to you would be that the truth is a fog, in which one man sees the heavenly host and the other one sees a flying elephant. (Dickens)
Alongside Dickens, there is the notable philanthropist Angela Burdett-Coutts (1814-1906), whose roles on charitable acts of supporting Ragged Schools, encourages Dodger to enroll in it, as well as being a courageous pillar to Dodger's contrived plots against the enemies, plays an important part of the story. It is amusing that she proposes to Duke of Wellington, and later marries to a 29-year-old secretary, who is 38 years her junior. In her party organised by Lady Coutts, where Dodger and Solomon have the honour to be invited, it is star-studded with George Cayley (1773-1857), Charles Babbage (1791-1871) and Ada Lovelace (1815-1852) (daughter of Lord Byron), Joseph Bazalgette (1819-1891) (whose keen interests lead him to a guided tour of the sewer world), and Sir Robert Peel with the peelers. I could not elaborate more on their distinctions and achievements, so more research need to be done.
Interestingly, a worthy mentioning of names pin-pricked in the story include Sweeney Todd (whose fate leads him to Bedlam Hospital), Mister Tenniel (1820-1914) (the illustrator), and Dick Turpin the highwayman (1705-1739). Places included Lavender Hill Cemetery and Cross Bones Graveyard, Southwark concerning Winchester Geese. Last but not least, with Queen Victoria and the Prince Consort.
All in all, entertaining as it might be, the most inspiring idea I get is the faith and belief you have in yourself. The Roman Goddess of Sewers, Cloacina, the Lady, is all that toshers worship in the underbelly of London, as opposed to the one on the upper world. However, it is not about that or what, it's the reincarnation of the true self, and Dodger has found one. It is an impressive novel packed with blaggard and scallywag, waifs and strays, and many Victorian slang like copper, snakesman and flophouse. A perfect read for me in April. I hope to get my next one by Pratchett!

Ever find yourself spinning your wheels trying to figure out what direction to go in? Or even procrastinating over and over, until you just give up and do nothing?
Ever wonder why its so hard to get started on tasks that you know would move you closer to your goals?
This 10 day challenge will take you through a process that will help you not only focus on your top priority goals, but make it easier to crush them every single day.
This system, which I use daily, will not only help you focus on what will give you maximum results, but will re-train your brain so that over time you don't have to spend your precious energy convincing, bribing, or fighting yourself on what you need to do.
Over time the exhaustive process of overthinking can decrease, and action can become effortless. We just have to know how to get there.
What you'll get from this challenge:
Process for figuring out your top priorities
Dig into what's really holding you back
Leverage your "liabilities" in your favor
Learn how to stop procrastination
Reprogram your brain to a mindset that works with you, not against you
Make tasks that used to be difficult, easy and automatic
How to build momentum so that you can accomplish anything
How do I know it works?
I'm a self-improvement junkie. I've read hundreds of books on success, mindset and lifestyle strategies from some pretty amazing folks. This challenge is a combination of teachings that I've picked up along the way from people like Carol Dweck author of Mindset, Tom Bilyeu host of Inside Quest, and Alexander Heyne of Master the Day.
What I've learned is that success all comes back to controlling the way that you think and being able to create consistent habits in the direction of your goals.
Through the steps in the Challenge, you will learn how to create habits around intentional improvement that lasts.
As we all know, the first (and hardest) step to achieving anything is deciding to start.
Are you in?

I'm done with HTC, Samsung and Nokia. The seeming never ending wait for OS updates from device OEMs is a pain in the ass. In the last few years I've owned phones from all 3, and felt like a sucker when they announce that to get the latest OS you need to buy a new device. Fuck that.
The straw that brok the camels back is my Nokia Lumia 800. Microsoft pretty much called all owners of Lumia 800 and 900 handsets morons by announcing that Windows Phone 8 will not be released for them. Instantly making that product line a worthless zombie product line.
And as for buying an iPhone. Nah. I don't really feel like being laughed at by my phone maker. The only way to ensure a satisfactory update roadmap for your device and not be ripped off in the first place is by buying a Google Nexus phone. End of story.

The All White Spring Jumpsuit You Need | Brunch at Cafe Gratitude
I LOVE an all white moment… especially to ring in the approaching warm weather (that's actually here to stay!) I have been obsessing over Ali & Jay's Café Stella Jumpsuit and it makes for the most fabulous stand out look for brunch… or really any occasion!
This jumpsuit is SO comfy and just plain and simply, makes you look instantly chic. When you wear this, you'll definitely be turning heads. It is such a flattering piece and one of the things I especially love is that it looks good on a petite/shorter body type, like me. I always struggle to find a jumpsuit that fits really well and I really love this one. The straps are adjustable and tie too which makes for even more comfort.
I recently wore it to my brunch at Cafe Gratitude! Nothing like wearing an all-white jumpsuit while sipping on a Capirinha cocktail (Brazilian rum, lime, citrus oil, garnished with a rock candy stick... YUM!) in a gilded-rimmed glass outside. Simply perfection.
Why do you need an all white jumpsuit for brunch may you ask? Because who doesn't want to be the center of attention at brunch? It's comfiness is the added bonus so you can eat as much as you want and not feel a bit of discomfort!
This is especially the new go-to for me for an outdoor brunch. I may be thinking ahead of the game, but how perfect is it for a Memorial Day LEWK?! Another plus is that you could literally pair it with any sweater or jacket (like my metallic one) and it will match perfectly. The ultimate spring statement brunch piece!

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), and their infant siblings (ASD-siblings), exhibit deficits in their ability to shift visual attention, and to initiate and respond to joint attention. The current study examined early associations between visual attention and joint attention, and between these types of attention and later language ability and ASD severity in ASD-siblings (n = 31). This study investigated the possibility that ASD-siblings, who are at-risk for atypical development, differed from infants who have an older sibling(s) with no evidence of an ASD (Comparison-siblings; n = 23) on the following: 1) means of visual and joint attention, 2) the associations between these constructs, and 3) developmental trajectories of joint attention. Early visual attention was measured using infants' gazes at and away their parents' faces during the Face-to-Face Still-Face Protocol at 6 months. Initiating joint attention (IJA) and responding to joint attention (RJA) were measured during the Early Social Communication Scales at 8, 10, 12, 15, and 18 months. Language ability was measured with the Mullen Scales of Early Learning language at 24 and 36 months. ASD severity was measured on the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule at 30 months. Results indicated that ASD-siblings and Comparison-siblings were comparable in their gaze shifting and mean durations of gazes away from their parents' faces. These two components of visual attention were associated with parent behaviors, and the type of chair infants sat in. There were group differences in IJA at 10 months and RJA at 8, 15, 18 months, with ASD-siblings performing fewer behaviors than Comparison-siblings. There were developmental associations between visual and joint attention, and joint attention and later language and ASD severity. ASD-siblings differed from Comparison-siblings in their RJA development. ASD-siblings also had lower language ability and greater ASD severity than Comparison-siblings. The current study's limitations included low statistical power, and a difficulty inherent to prospective studies, which are at a disadvantage because a high proportion ASD-siblings may not develop an ASD. Nevertheless, the findings have clinical implications for the development of interventions targeting RJA behaviors within the first year of life.

text: With a glimpse of the coin's initial shimmer, readers land within a mysterious portal formed in supporting beams of language welded pentagonally. These poems mark what manifested in the early explorations of the author, and can be taken as a musically inclined scouting report to help guide any who might risk a gander. A warning: after entering the tunnel and landing in Lehua, Hawaii, August 18, 2012, the author has not returned (although further poems beyond this volume continue to turn up). Spelunking here may punk one's dearest speculations.

SHOCKING: A Guy Suddenly Holds The Breast Of The Girl While Taking The Video!
The technology now is so advanced, especially when it comes to gadgets. Unlike before, you need to buy film and put it in the camera, then spend
the money for the film development before you can see the pictures.
But today, it is just one click away. Smartphones have built in camera and video recorder that you can capture the moments, every now and then.
Just like the couple who were very sweet capturing the moments together using their smartphones. They recorded themselves while exchanging "I Love You" to each other in different languages. But the girl was shocked as the guy, suddenly hold her breast.

There are five steps to keeping your hands bacteria-free :
1. Wet your hands with warm running water.
2. Add soap, and then rub your hands together, making a soapy lather. Do this away from the running water for at least 15 seconds, being careful not to wash the lather away. Wash the front and back of your hands, as well as between your fingers and under your nails.
3. Rinse your hands well under warm running water.
4. Pat hands dry with a paper towel.
5. Turn off water using same paper towel and dispose in a proper receptacle.
Click on the poster for a larger image. Click here for a PDF file. It is crucial for caregivers, and visitors to wash their hands, and clean surfaces with antibacterial agents, as well. Caregivers need to remind visitors, especially professionals who go from client to client, or patient to patient, to simply wash their hands and dry them on a paper towel.

Lionel Tate. Lionel Alexander Tate (born January 30, 1987) is the youngest American citizen ever sentenced to life imprisonment without possibility of parole. In January 2001, when Tate was 13, he was convicted of first-degree murder for the 1999 battering death of 6-year-old Tiffany Eunick in Broward County, Florida.
How does an apparent child suddenly become an adult? How or why is this even happening?
Then back to the USA's two definitive, two not one as would be reasonable, adult age breaks at both 18 and 21. At 18, you can serve and die for your country, but not legally drink a beer? WTF? You can sign a legally binding contract that will hold up in a court of law but you cannot carry a handgun, unless you are in the employment of the military. WTF?
What is a reasonable age to be considered an adult in every respect and why?
