I'm of the opinion you can never have too many kitchen towels. It's an extra bonus when they are so pretty they actually make you want to clean up! We started with plain white store-bought towels, then added fabric and ribbon strips to build a band of beauty along the bottom. Tie up three or more with a bow and a sweet handmade tag, and you have a bundle of lovely linens to give as a gift.
Each towel uses just one 2½" x 22" fabric strip and two ribbons. This is a great project for scraps, or for any left over jelly roll strips in your stash. We used scraps from our stash of Tula Pink's Parisville for FreeSpirit Fabrics.
All the beautiful ribbons we used are available online now directly from The Ribbon Retreat in the colors we selected as well as many, many more.
Pre-wash your towels as well as fabric strips and ribbons prior starting. Kitchen towels are meant to be able to handle a lot of laundering and you don't want the pieces shrinking at different rates; that leads to unattractive rippling. For more about preshrinking, see our tutorial.
Sewing Tools You Need
- Any Sewing Machine (we recommend the Janome DC2013)
- Janome Clear View Quilting Foot and Guide Set (optional)
Fabric and Other Supplies
Supplies shown are for ONE towel.
- 1 solid color, store-bought dish towel: we used a basic, waffle weave white dish towel set we found at a local variety store, which measured 20" wide x 29½" high
- Scrap, Jelly Roll or ⅛ yard of 44-45" wide fabric for the center accent strip
- All purpose thread in colors to best match ribbons
- 1 yard of ⅜" ribbon: we used solid grosgrain in Tropic Lilac from The Ribbon Retreat
- 1 yard of ⅞" ribbon; we used Polka Dots in Dark Orchid with White and Mint with White from The Ribbon Retreat
NOTE: Your towel width may vary, measure first. You need one narrow length of ribbon and one wide length of ribbon, each the width of your towel plus 2".
- Glue Dotsor Steam-A-Seam (optional)
- See-through ruler
- Fabric pencil
- Seam gauge
- Seam ripper
- Iron and ironing board
- Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
- Straight pins
Getting Started
- From the accent band, fussy cut one 2½" x 22" strip.
NOTE: The 22" length fits our 20" towels. Measure the width of your own towel and add 2".
- Cut one narrow length of ribbon and one wide length of ribbon to match your strip length (22" in our samples).
- Press your towels flat and remove all tags.
- Use your see-through ruler to mark and draw a horizontal line across the front of your towel(s) approximately 2" up from the bottom hem.
NOTE: Determine your best placement based on your own towels. I used the hemline as my guide rather than the bottom of the towel because I found the bottom of the towel to not be a truly straight line.
At Your Sewing Machine & Ironing Board
- Take the 2½" accent strip and the ribbons to your ironing board.
- On the accent strip, fold in each end 1" and press.
- On each ribbon, fold in each end 1" and press.
- Take each towel and lay it face up on your work surface so the drawn horizontal line is visible.
- Place a center accent strip, right side facing up, on top of a towel. Line up the bottom edge of the accent strip with the drawn horizontal line. The folded outside edges of your accent strip should be flush with the hemmed sides of the towel. If they aren't perfect, re-press the folds as needed to make an exact match.
- Slip one folded and pressed end of a narrow and a wide ribbon over the folded end of the strip. The narrow ribbon goes on the top of the strip, the wide ribbon on the bottom.
- Center the ribbon over the raw edge of the fabric so the fabric's raw edge is completely covered.
- Stitch a vertical seam as close to the edge as possible, through all layers, to secure the ribbons and the strip.
NOTE: If you are using two colors of ribbon, as we did with two of our three towels, this will mean you will have a visible seam against one of the ribbons. It's okay... keep breathing. This seam is at the very back of the towel. Mine worked out nicely because, as I always say, my Janome machines stitch very precisely even right on the edge of the fabric. Love that!
- Repeat to stitch the opposite ribbon ends in place.
NOTE: You may need to futz with the ribbons' folds in order to adjust them to perfectly fit the edge of your towel and insure the ribbons and the fabric lay nice and flat.
- If you're making more than one towel, before stitching everything in place on your second (and third or more) towel, take a minute to check the position of everything to make sure the ribbons and fabric will line up horizontally when the towels are hung side by side. This is important, because with ready-made towels, you can't assume the hems are identical from towel to towel
- Using your ruler (and eyeballing it), confirm your ribbons are straight side to side and secure them prior to stitching. You can simply pin the ribbons in place or use an adhesive, such as Glue Dots or Steam A Seam.
- Carefully edgestitch along both sides of each ribbon. I used my optional Janome Clear View Quilting Foot, which has a variety of awesome bright red guide lines to help keep even the tiniest of seams straight.
- Press well.

Modern consumers love the variety, convenience and freshness that quick service restaurants (QSR) offer. But behind their ease and simplicity lies a very complex and multifaceted supply chain. From promotional items such as toys and cutlery and packaging, to the actual supermarket foods that come from many different sources, transporting everything necessary for quick service restaurants is a logistical challenge.
STI has several customers in the QSR industry and our temperature-controlled transport solutions and European network are ideal for ensuring that stock levels are always sufficient and everything gets to the right place at the right time. QSRs place very high demands on their transport partners and require just in time delivery, continuously controlled cooling chains and efficient route planning day in and day out.
With QSRs, complex and demanding transport needs must be fulfilled regularly, and they require a reliable, efficient partner to work with on a daily basis. STIs experience in the sector provides the services and solutions QSRs need on just about any scale and any region.

Building the Church of God
One of our aims as a community is to build our beliefs and practices on the example of the first century church which we see being established as we read through the Book of Acts. We might have expected the early church to be a model of perfection, after all it been founded on the firsthand witness of Christ's life, his death and his resurrection; established by apostles who had spent around 3 ½ years in personal training with Christ, receiving instruction, teaching and wisdom directly from the Son of God and later gifted with and guided by the Holy Spirit thems...
Real Success
Real Success
Many people define success by status and a hefty bank account. Even Christians fall prey to the belief system of equating material wealth with success.

Real success comes from knowing and living in the center of God's will.
The challenges of success usually become apparent early on, and everyone tries to make sense of it. Young adults discover that the Americ...

More than 1,000 Iranians took to the streets across Iran early Wednesday to protest a rash of so-called "acid attacks" against women who do not strictly follow Islamic law.
Protests against increased frequency of these acid attacks erupted outside Iran's Justice Ministry in Isfahan and in other Iranian cities, with anti-regime protestors demanding that the extremist perpetrators of these attacks be brought to justice.
"Death to acid attackers," protestors chanted in Farsi, according to video of the protests in Isfahan. "Guns, tanks, cannot be used to [force use of] the veil, we will sit here until we get an answer. State Security Forces, where are the eyes of our sisters?"

Dear praying friends,
We are well into the third quarter of school. We now have 69 students. The girls BB team is undefeated in league play. The boys just won their first game so we are all excited. The tournament is two weeks away. We missed two days because of muddy roads in January but not much moisture recently although it is raining some today.
We still have not heard from the inspector from last year. We are not really complaining, but until she comes we have to be extra vigilant to be ready. Sounds somewhat like how Christians should be about the Lord's return. Thanks to all who keep us in your prayers for a good outcome.
We are in need of a different bus – pray God will lead us to just the right one. I am looking on Ebay at one that ends tomorrow. Also, we will need a first grade teacher for next year. Jen Mullen is filling in this year but really would rather teach art next year – her area of expertise. Pray God will send just the right person to fill that need.
We need more housing at the mission. We are prayerfully starting two new building projects to meet that need. One is a remodel of a former classroom into a one bedroom apartment. The other is a large two story building that can be a guest house and team house as well as a residence. We have lots of people interested in helping the mission in very practical ways so we expect to see quick progress on these projects.
Ruth has been sick with a bad cold (very persistent cough) for 5 days now. Please pray for her to regain strength and health.
One of our Navajo elders passed away two weeks ago. His death was rather sudden although he was in his 80's. The other Navajo elder is also in his 80's and not in good health. Pray God will raise up young Navajo men to fill this void. We have several young men attending the chapel but they are also young believers. We already see some stepping up to take more responsibility.
Continue to pray God will meet the needs of the school food program. We are no longer on the federal school lunch program. It costs about $175 per day – serving about 150 meals per day. Pray also God will continue to provide funds that allow us to hire some local Navajo believers for work at the mission – janitor, cook, librarian and teacher's aide. This runs about $900 per week. God is faithful. Bus repairs is another major expense as we have to keep four buses running. The roads are very bumpy right now because of all the mud.
We thank you for your prayers and support. We are enjoying God's blessing and feel God is at work – especially with the changes in the church. Will be fun to see what He does.

Dr. Maxime Flament (ERTICO – ITS Europe)
Prof. Markos Papageorgiou (Technical University of Crete, Chania, Greece)
Dr. Maxime Flament (ERTICO – ITS Europe)
The presentations from the Webinar are now available:
1 – VRA Introduction
2 – Freeway TM in the Era of VACS
View the video of the Webinar available on the VRA Youtube channel:
02: 09– 09:00 – Introduction to the VRA – Vehicle and Road Automation CSA
09:00 – 18:00 – Freeway Traffic Management in the Era of Vehicle Automation and Communication Systems (VACS)
56:00 – 60:00 – Question & Answers
Traffic congestion on urban road and motorway networks has a strong economic and social impact. A significant and growing interdisciplinary effort by the automotive industry, as well as by numerous research institutions, has been devoted in the last decades to planning, development, testing and deployment of a variety of Vehicle Automation and Communication Systems (VACS) that are expected to revolutionise the features and capabilities of individual vehicles within the next decades. If exploited appropriately, the emerging VACS may enable sensible novel traffic management actions aiming at mitigating traffic congestion and its detrimental implications.
The Webinar started with a brief introduction to the rationale and impact of traffic management, along with an overview of expected changes in the years and decades to come. Existing, planned and emerging VACS, which have an impact on the traffic flow characteristics, are discussed and classified; and potential implications for future traffic management are presented. Related research needs and specific tasks and challenges were identified and commented. Some preliminary results from the ERC project TRAMAN21, referring to (microscopic and macroscopic) traffic flow modelling, traffic state estimation, system architecture, local and network-wide control tasks and approaches, were briefly outlined.

During the last three years I have focused my time on teaching ESL students in China. I have taught students of all ages and skill levels, ranging from one-on-one sessions to larger groups. I have worked with private clients to help them improve their general English skills, as well as more focused sessions, such as Business English Certificate (BEC) and IELTS exam preparation.
I also worked at Rawlinson Public School and with academic organizations such as Glenlong Community Centre in Toronto, Canada, where I did after-school English tutoring. My bachelor's degree was multi-disciplined, including philosophy, civil engineering, mathematics, and economics, at both Concordia University in Montreal, and Ryerson University in Toronto.
I am a native English-speaker and I am also fluent in Farsi and French. I am currently studying Mandarin Chinese as well. I have over ten years of experience managing small businesses in Toronto, Canada and Tehran, Iran. I specialize in Business English, however, I am comfortable and happy to help with any individual English goals you may be pursuing.

Schedule preventing weight gain ?
Experienced User
January 9th, 2008
I was curious if I could get someone else's oppinion on this matter. I work the late shift in the child care industry and my parents are blaming my weird schedule and me not gaining any weight. I will be 18 weeks tomorrow and am still in the negative as far as weight gain/loss. I've lost 13 lbs and have not gained any of it back. Here's my schedule: wake up 1 pm eat "breakfast"(I'm not a breakfast eater so I have to force something down), 2pm arrive at work(here I steal some gold fishies from the kids and run around after 3 year olds), the time I arrive home varies day to day depending on when the kids get picked up(holidays are great! everyone wants their kids unless they are shopping), otherwise we get stuck with them pretty late. Then I eat "dinner" with my family when I get home around 8 pm. Then a second dinner at around 12am then I go to sleep around 3 am. Should I really reconsider my schedule?

Your schedule with work isn't the problem. It's all about how many calories you consume vs. how many you burn. If you work 2 pm to 8 pm or if it was 10 am till 4 pm, it doesn't matter. You're still burning the same calories and taking in the same.
If anything, just try to eat more. Have snacks while you are at work. If they aren't allowed in the daycare center, tell your coworkers you need to leave for five minutes to have a snack. Work should be understanding to the fact that you are pregnant and know/realize that you have to eat.

It is during the second half of pregnancy where the weight gain usually comes into play. If your doctor has no concerns, you shouldn't be concerned either.

I'm home with a hurt ankle today(and waiting to see if my dad can take me to the doctor) so I guess I should be eating now lol. I'm not the one's concerned about the weight part. People just keep asking me "How much weight have you gained? You look like you've lost." And they make me feel bad about it like "Feed that baby!" One of the parents told me yesterday that she lost 80 lbs with her 1st pregnancy! Given she was quite overweight to start with. She made me feel better:D

Whatever you do, don't listen to the people that say "feed that bebe!!"...they prob gained 60lbs during their pregnancy.
Unlike common belief, you're NOT eating for 2!! Your calorie consumption should ONLY go up by 300. So you should only be taking in either 2300 calories or 2800 calories, depending on your weight. If you're skinny, then 2800. If you're overweight, 2300.
I was one of those people that 'fed that bebe', and I gained 60lbs with my first.
This time, I 'fed myself' and only gained 25! LOL...
I'm sure you're doing just fine!! Like ingi said, it's in the 2nd, 3rd trimester that you'll start gaining weight. And it would be then that you should worry if you don't.

I don't have a weird schedule like that and I lost 10-15 lbs for my first 5 months. My doctor said it was fine and he thought it was because I cut pop completely out of my diet, even non-caffiene. (Pop was like another food group to me before I was pregnant) Pop has a lot of sugar in it and he said that it would take a drastic effect, especially since I stopped drinking it completely. I am also borderline diabetic, so when I found out I was preggo, I cut Sugar pretty much out. I only let myself have a little here and there. I had no morning sickness whatsoever too. So I was really worried about my losing all that weight, but my doctor said it was just because I started eating healthier and stuff.

In term two students explored 'Australian History'. They closely examined how decisions made in our past have shaped and influenced the country we live in today. In term 3 students looked into how as Australian interacts with 'Our Neighbours'. Students explore the economic reliance we have in relation to neighbouring countries and the importance of maintaining close relationships with countries throughout the South East Asia region. Students participated in a fabulous excursion to the Chinese Museum where they were able to gain an insight in to the history of China and how Chinese immigrants have played an important role in Australian History. The Students were able to get a taste of Asia as they enjoyed a Chinese Banquet for lunch as part of the excursion. Students completed the term by using a range of ICT hardware and software to produce 'Getaway' episode using green screen technology to show their deep understanding of a chosen Asian country. During term 4, students gained great enjoyment from participating in our school camping program to Philip Island. This term students are being provided with outdoor education programs including Bike Education to provide them with the skills required to be safe when riding to and from school.
Our students enjoy learning through open ended inquiry tasks. It enables them to develop their own learning paths as they pose questions that interest them, and find answers through their own exploration of the topic.

Dec. 16, 1999
Lawrence J. Goodrich, Communications Director, (202) 523-3240
The U. S. Commission on International Religious Freedom today decried the Sudanese government's use of food aid as a weapon of war and called on the U.S. government to take a series of actions to ensure food aid reaches all hungry people in Sudan's war-torn southern region.
Civil war has raged in Sudan for more than 16 years between an Islamist regime in Khartoum and mostly Christian and animist rebels in the south, at a cost of about 2 million lives. A major cause of the war has been repeated attempts by the central government to impose Islamic law on the south. Food aid has been organized under the United Nations World Food Programme's "Operation Lifeline Sudan," but that aid has been subject to repeated Sudanese government bans on flights to distressed regions when they are under rebel control, effectively cutting off aid. Such flight bans are currently in effect.
"This is clearly a war with a religious-persecution dimension," said Rabbi David Saperstein, the Commission's chairman. "The Sudanese government is deliberately starving people for religious, as well as political, military, and ethnic reasons."
In order to ensure that hungry people of all religious and ethnic backgrounds get food, the Commission recommended that:
The U.S. government should work with the international community to pressure the Sudanese government to immediately stop banning food flights, which is an undeniable use of food as a military and political weapon and has caused hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians to starve.
In addition to its participation in Operation Lifeline Sudan, the U.S. government should continue its policy of shipping food into southern Sudan outside the program and increase the percentage of food thus delivered.
The U.S. government should undertake an active diplomatic campaign to encourage other nations and humanitarian organizations to move food aid directly into Sudan outside Operation Lifeline Sudan, regardless of Sudanese government strictures but consistent with international law.
"We strongly condemn the Sudanese government's ongoing policy of politicizing food aid in the south, affecting thousands of innocent civilians," Chairman Saperstein said. "What's important is that religious persecution stop and that hungry people get the food they need."
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom was created by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 to monitor the status of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion or belief abroad, as defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and related international instruments, and to give independent policy recommendations to the President, the Secretary of State and the Congress."

Todd posted a blog about attending a Texas Rangers game last weekend. One part that had me squirming was this: "I bought nachos, peanuts and 2 regular lemonades." No, it's not because he didn't use the Chicago Manual of Style in that sentence. Rather, it's the thought of having nachos and peanuts with lemonade. I could not have these all together.
Omitting all the gory details, I had a couple of bouts of acid indigestion in middle school because of lemonade. Mixing powdered donuts with lemonade was not a good mix for breakfast. And it's a mix I've never had since.
My choice of drink is always congruent with the food I eat. Water goes with everything (except cereal) and it's what I usually have with breakfast and lunch. Milk usually comes with dinner, and orange juice makes for a nice afternoon drink. Soda is a rarity for these days, except when used in a mixed drink at parties.
I have nothing against lemonade, nachos, or peanuts. Just having them all in one evening reminds me of when I had a peppermint after eating carrots for dinner. Again, omitting the gory details, I'll never try that combination again either.

Mediterranean fruit flies (i.e. medflies) are one of the most serious agricultural pests, particularly in the tropics and subtropics. Medflies are common in the Mediterranean, southern Europe, western Australia, South and Central America, and Hawaii. California, Texas, and Florida are particularly vigilant about medfly detection because the potential for destruction of citrus and vegetable crops is high.
Damage occurs when medfly larvae emerge from eggs and begin feeding on the inside of fruits or vegetables. When fully grown, larvae make an exit hole and drop to the ground to pupate. Pupae mature into adults, which emerge from the soil. Under tropical conditions, the medfly life cycle is completed in 21-30 days.
Adult medflies are about the size of a housefly and have a yellowish abdomen with silver cross bands. Their wings appear blotchy with yellow, brown, and black coloration.
Additional information on the Mediterranean fruit fly can be found at:

Celebrating the Best from 40 Years of the World's Most Widely Read CREATION Magazine
In 1978, there were few resources for Christians who wanted to defend their belief in biblical creation. So, at that time, Carl Wieland founded Creation magazine, which would eventually become the most widely-read creation publication in the world. To celebrate 40 years of cutting edge creation content, we have collected articles from across the history of this ground-breaking publication, some with important updates:

How to unlock an iPhone from AT&T USAIMEI Unlock, iPhone, U.S.A Networks
It can be well worthwhile shopping around for an iPhone from the States, especially if the dollar is at a competitive rate. Many customers buy an iPhone from there, either from a website, while enjoying a visit, or they can pick up a bargain deal for a used iPhone from home by visiting Ebay USA.
The fact is, the price of an iPhone from the USA is often cheaper than it is in Europe. For example, the Apple store price in the US for a 64GB iPhone 6 is $749, whereas in France it is €819. If we convert to euros, (taking a rate of $1.25/EUR on average over the last 12 months), that puts the price at around €600, a saving of almost €220!
However, the used iPhones sold from the United States are usually blocked by the cellphone service provider.
It's therefore important to pay attention to whether the phone is SIM FREE, or UNLOCKED (i.e. free of any operator). If not, the cost of unlocking the phone will need to be added to the purchase price. If the phone is locked you might be able to convince the former owner to request that AT&T unlock the phone. If not, you will have no choice but to pay for an unlocking service.
Cost of unlocking a USA iPhone, contract or unpaid
To unlock an AT&T USA iPhone only costs about $9.9 and the service is usually activated within 24 hours. But if your iPhone is connected to an ongoing contract, or there are arrears on the account, then the rate and the period is higher (see the site for rates). So when you buy your used iPhone, be sure to ask the owner if it is in compliance with its operator and whether there are any "Unpaid Bills" or "Unpaid dues". Usually AT&T will sell a phone with a 2-year subscription. So if the phone has only a few months of contract left, there is a good chance that it is "barred."
Compare the total cost of unlocking an iPhone on Orange France vs AT&T USA
To do this, take the case of an iPhone under 3 months: iPhone 64GB + cellphone unlocking = total cost.
Orange FR: € 819 + € 75 = € 894.00
A total difference of €259!
Pay close attention to the American cellphone provider
Be careful when you make your choice because a locked USA iPhone from other cellphone operators, e.g. T-Mobile, Sprint or Verizon can cost a lot more to unlock. T-Mobile USA, for example, costs four times more to unlock than AT&T, about €115.00!
Regarding Sprint and Verizon, there are two important points to note. First, make sure the iPhone has a compatible GSM network. Sprint and Verizon use a different technology which is prevalent in the United States. In general the recent iPhones are multi-network and are therefore compatible, but it is best to check before buying the IMEI number whether the iDevice is GSM or not.
Secondly, for Sprint USA if there are ANY arrears it will be impossible to unlock the phone. We receive many requests to unlock Sprint USA cellphones but in 70% of cases there are unpaid dues and the operator refuses to unlock the device. However when the client file attached to the phone is "clean", Sprint and Verizon release the phone quite fast and at an affordable price of just €20.00

Benefits of an equity release plan
Most plans now feature much more flexibility than in the past.
- ✔ Lump sum of tax-free money.
- ✔ Continue to live in your own home.
- ✔ Protect a percentage of your property value for your loved ones.
- ✔ No monthly repayment option.
- ✔ Make repayments if you want to.
- ✔ Add a cash reserve facility.
- ✔ Maintain 100% home ownership.¹
- ✔ Spend the cash as you wish.
- ✔ Ability to move home in the future.
- ✔ No-negative-equity guarantee.
- ✔ Low rates available to fix for life.
- ✔ High cash release available.
- ✔ Repay your standard mortgage.
¹You only continue to own your own home with a lifetime mortgage.
Benefit from future property price increase
If you take out a lifetime mortgage, the most popular type of equity release, you could benefit from any future increase on your property. This is good news because you may be able to release more money in the future if you wish to.
Never pass debt on to your loved ones
There are guarantees with some plans to make sure you can never pass on debt, or 'negative equity', in your estate.
Move home in the future
If you wish to move home in the future, this is possible. It's a rule of the Equity Release Council that a lifetime mortgage can be transferred or 'ported' to another property. Naturally the new property must be acceptable to the lender at the time of looking to transfer the lifetime mortgage, and they may expect that part of the loan is repaid if downsizing to a property of lower value - without any early repayment charges.
There are no requirements to make monthly repayments
Lifetime mortgages don't require any regular repayments. Instead, a fixed or variable rate of interest is rolled-up against the loan so that you have nothing to pay during your lifetime. Then when you pass away, or move into long-term care, the house is sold and the loan, including the interest, is paid off with the remaining money passing to your estate.
To find out more about the different plan types available to you and what other things need to be considered, please follow this link »
Who could release equity?
In general you may be eligible to release funds from the value of your property if:
It is also a condition that you use some of the money you receive to pay off any mortgage you may have against the property or secured loan you may have against the property. Of course, this can be of great benefit to many, as one of your regular outgoings becomes a thing of the past.
However, equity release is not suitable for everybody which is why it is so important to speak to an independent specialist before you make a decision.
Our phone lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and there are no automated systems, please call us on Freephone 08080 555 222 to get all your questions answered.
Why has it become so popular?
There has been significant growth in the equity release market and current equity release market conditions are favourable. It is no wonder that some lenders have developed their plans to suit the current market demands.
With new product features emerging which allow more freedom and for customers to release even more tax-free cash, giving homeowners aged 55 plus the opportunity to go on a once a lifetime holiday, supplement their retirement income, make home improvements and more. Lenders have also continued to keep their lifetime mortgage interest rates low and are still contributing to plan set-up costs.
The increase of UK house prices over the last four years have also contributed to the growth of equity release because they impact the amount of money you can release from your home.
Equity release may involve a home reversion plan or lifetime mortgage which is secured against your property. To understand the features and risks ask for a personalised illustration.
Equity release requires paying off any existing mortgage. Any money released, plus accrued interest would be repaid upon death, or moving into long-term care.

I like the new Format for the NY Times magazine (the only reason I subscribe to the print edition). I like how they finally got a new ethicist who didn't seem overly righteous about questinable decisions, but I mostly like the new Riffs column, where writers basically participate in the sophomoric silliness typically found in blogs or college dorm rooms (my cousins call it masturbatory writing).
3 recent ones that stood out, a meta-meta-meta-memoir--the editor's memoir of
reading the reviewer's memoir of the memoir by Luca Spaghetti about being in the Eat Pray Love memoir. Or, a call to take back the word c**t while adhering the NY times rules from using that word, or even referring to it. Or, a crit theory analysis of Pretty Women.

Over the last half-term we have been very pleased to work with pupils from Gorsemoor Primary School.
On 19th September, students from our 6th Form lead a project at Gorsemoor with over 80 Year 5 pupils to create life-size dresses and tunics, which were decorated in the theme of TEXTILES. These were part of a display on Open Evening at Norton, and can now be viewed at Gorsemoor, or by following the link to their website: http://gorsemoor.staffs.sch.uk/wn03.html.
The pupils have also written us a thank you letter, which featured in their recent newsletter. Click here to view: Gorsemoor Newsletter
The following week, Year 6 visited our sports facilities for an activity day including kick-boxing, dance and a climbing wall. We look forward to meeting Gorsemoor pupils again very soon!

Judge Dredd Pokie
Reviewed by: OnlineCasino.com.auSeemingly every superhero has their own pokies these days. So given his recent blockbuster movie, it's no surprise that Judge Dredd has one as well. In true-Dredd fashion, this pokie is visually stunning (not to mention fun) just like the comic books and films are. Fun Factor: Jackpots: Coin Sizes: Bonus Games: Graphics: 100 Paylines 10,000 Jackpot Play Judge Dredd Now!
Try Judge Dredd Pokie Free
The Judge Dredd online pokies is a visually-stimulating pokie from NextGen Gaming.
As you spin to fight crime with Dredd in a familiar futuristic-industrial setting, you'll reveal:
- Free spins that double the payout on all prizes
- "Superbets" that increase Dredd wild action
- Randomly-appearing Dredds that hand out bonus spins
We mean it when we say that effects-wise, this is one of the best pokies out there, period. The music alone will make you want to stride around your living room proclaiming "I am the law". NextGen did an incredible job making sure every little detail in this pokie fits with the Dredd theme, including the background art, reel sound effects, and even the paytable screens. In ways, it feels much more like you are playing a next gen console game rather than an online pokie.
The futuristic thematics of Judge Dredd, who began appearing in British comics in the late 70s, make for an engrossing pokie experience. A Robocop-type law enforcement officer in Mega-City One, Dredd is responsible for cleaning up the streets by arresting, sentencing, and even executing criminals. And now, he helps home gamblers execute spins and win big jackpots on his very own slot game.
The visionaries for this pokie are NextGen Gaming, one of the world's leading suppliers of high-quality online gambling games and software.
Judge Dredd Screenshots
Game Features
Dredd is a five-reel, 25-line pokie with a 2,000 coin jackpot and a couple of different available bonuses and extra options.
The "Superbet" option is a little different than other games' bonus bet features. Superbets are controlled by a knob that allows you to select which reels you would like to have more wild symbols. The yellow superbet level increases your bet by 25 coins and sticks more Dredd wilds on the third reel. The second, third, and fourth reels will have more wilds if the orange level is selected (35 more coins to your bet), and turning the wheel to red ups your bet by 50 and sticks more wilds on all five reels.
There is also a free games feature which begins when three or more scatter symbols appear. During these bonus spins, the wild action is increased on all five reels and all payouts are doubled.
Stake Levels
While straight bets can only be made in increments of .01, .02, .05, .10, .20, .25, .50, $1.00, and $2.00, the superbet options can add .50 to every bet you make.
Judge Dredd Symbols
Standard Symbols
The low-end standard symbols are 9, 10, J, Q, K, and A, which have increasingly larger payouts for multiple showings (up to 200 coins for five-of-a-kind Aces or Kings). The rest of the standards include Dredd on a motorcycle, some of his crime-fighting equipment, and one of his adversaries, which pays out a maximum of 1,000 coins.
Scatter Symbol
Dredd's badge is the scatter and carries a high payout of 2,500 coins if you can get all five to show on a single spin. However, getting just three to appear wins you 10 bonus spins, during which your prizes are doubled.
Wild Symbol
Joseph Dredd himself is the wild, substituting for all symbols (minus the scatters) to help you hit payouts. He'll grant you 2000 coins for showing five times, and he appears more frequently when you have placed a superbet.
Free Spins
Getting three or more scatter badge symbols to appear will give you 10 free spins, during which your prizes are doubled. And since he is the law, Judge Dredd will sometimes also appear randomly after a paid spin and reward you with a free game.
Bonus Game
Unlike other superhero games, Dredd doesn't have a true bonus game. However, the Superbet feature stands in place of any kind of flashy mini-game, and the potential perks are just as good if not better.
The highest five-of-a-kind jackpot is 2,500 coins for showing five scatter symbols. And if you were to hit this, your winnings are near-guaranteed to go even higher as you'll have also won 10 free spins.
Since it is a flash game, Judge Dredd is only supported on PCs and Macs. But with the rapid pace at which technology develops, we wouldn't be surprised if playing Dredd on mobile devices isn't possible in the near future.

Magnotta is Ontario's third largest winery and the only company of its kind in Canada licensed to produce and sell wine, beer and distilled products. With over 3,000 awards to date for product excellence, Magnotta is Canada's most award winning winery. Magnotta is the proud recipient of Vaughan's Business of the Year Award and a platinum member of Canada's 50 Best Managed Companies. Magnotta offers an exceptional winery experience with over 180 VQA and International Series wines to enjoy, gourmet food items and accessories, displays of original artwork, tours of our wine making facilities, product tasting bars, weekly in-store events, expertly trained staff and winery direct pricing. The History of Magnotta Winery The road to Magnotta's success has been paved with adversity, innovation, creativity, good people and great wine. In 1990, Co-Founders Gabe and Rossana Magnotta saw a world of opportunity through entrepreneurial eyes and the public was quick to recognize the quality and value of the products they created. In less than 15 years, Magnotta became Ontario's 3rd largest winery in volume of sales. It was the LCBO's last minute announcement in 1990 that they had no shelf space available for Magnotta products that triggered an emergency re-draft of their marketing plans. Selling directly to the public, they overcame adversity, offering consumers a high-quality, low-cost alternative that earned the company the mark of excellence. Ten and a half years later, Magnotta and the LCBO reached a mediated settlement; this brought some of Magnotta's Icewines into select LCBO stores across Ontario. Today, Magnotta Winery has multiple locations, strategically located throughout the Greater Toronto Area, Southwestern Ontario and the Niagara Peninsula. Magnotta's 75,000 square foot flagship head office, winery, brewery, and distillery is located in Vaughan, Ontario, just a few minutes north of Toronto. Opened in May of 1997, this architectural triumph is the extraordinary vision of both Rossana and Gabe. It features a state of the art wine making facility, microbrewery, copper pot distillery, extensive original art gallery (remarkable paintings and exquisite sculptures) and an impressive wine boutique. The winery is visited by thousands of tourists and customers annually; all are swept away by its graceful ambiance and creative display of truly exceptional world-class wines. The company has more than 180 acres of vineyards in the heart of Ontario's Niagara grape growing region. Located in Niagara, Magnotta Beamsville houses a state of the art crushing facility–this allows the winery to have complete control over the quality of the press. With numerous VQA varietals now available, this standard of quality control is very important. In addition to its vineyards in the Niagara Peninsula, Magnotta's own international vineyards include over 351 acres in the Maipo Valley, Chile's most sought after growing region. With the recent international interest in and praise of South American wines, Magnotta is again on the cutting edge, offering a diverse selection of Chilean blends. With increased capacity, Magnotta continues to grow and expand its market. Nationally, Magnotta has distributors in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and eastern Canada. International markets include exports to the United States, Taiwan and China. Read less

MU to require freshmen to undergo diversity training
The University of Missouri, which this week removed a student from its Columbia campus for shouting the N word and other racial slurs at a black student group practicing for homecoming, announced Thursday that, as of January, all entering freshmen will be required to undergo diversity training.
The training, to be conducted online, eventually will be mandatory for all faculty, staff and other students.
"As you know, a few individuals have tried to harass and intimidate our students using racial slurs over the past few weeks …," MU Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin wrote Thursday in an online letter. "As a community, we must live by our values of Respect, Responsibility, Discovery and Excellence."
In a previous post he wrote that racism "and all prejudice is heinous, insidious and damaging to Mizzou. It hurts students' education and experience, including their mental health and academic achievement. That is why all of us must commit to changing the culture at this university."
University spokesman Christian Basi said Loftin was out of town when members of the Legion of Black Collegians Royalty Court were accosted by an inebriated student who began shouting racial slurs at members of the group. The incident occurred early Sunday morning, shortly after midnight, when members of the Legion of Black Collegians were practicing for homecoming.
Notified of the incident, Loftin recorded an angry video from his hotel room, condemning the actions.
"It's happened again! … It's enough. Let's stop this," Loftin said in the recording. "Let's end racism and hatred at Mizzou."
The event came less than a month after Missouri Students Association President Payton Head, who is black, was similarly verbally assaulted on campus, prompting an impassioned response on Facebook describing his experience and calling on his classmates to fight injustice.
"I just want to say how extremely hurt and disappointed I am," he wrote in mid-September. "Last night as I walking through campus, some guys riding on the back of a pickup truck decided that it would be okay to continuously scream NIGGER at me. I really just want to know why my simple existence is such a threat to society. For those of you who wonder why I'm always talking about the importance of inclusion and respect, it's because I've experienced moments like this multiple times at THIS university, making me not feel included here."
He continued with a plea.
"Educate yourselves and others," he wrote. "Hold your family, friends, fraternity brothers and sorority sisters accountable. And if this post made you feel uncomfortable, GOOD! That means I'm doing my job. It's time to wake up Mizzou."
For some students, it is not clear how effective online training will be.
Katie Grunik, a senior from St. Louis, said she believed many students could benefit from some real education about living on a diverse campus. But she feared that too many would treat an online course as merely another formality.
"I do think it's important that people be aware," Grunik said. But to make a real difference, she said, will probably take something more than an online course. "I don't think it's really going to do anything."
Others welcomed the training as a way for the university to begin taking action.
Annabel Ames, a sophomore from Detroit, said the recent racist incidents showed that something needed to be done.
"I think it's definitely a good first step, but it shouldn't be the endpoint," Ames said. "Racism is actually very prevalent on our campus."
MU is not the first school to call for mandatory diversity training.
Earlier this year, the University of Oklahoma instituted mandatory diversity training for all students on its campus and for incoming freshmen.
The training ordered in Oklahoma came after the university found itself in the national spotlight following an incident involving members of one of OU's fraternities. Video surfaced online showing members of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity singing a racist chant.
Several years earlier, the University of Delaware suspended its diversity training program after hearing complaints from students about the way the courses were conducted. Some students thought they were being accused of racism, while some minority and LGBT students felt roughly treated or pressured to "out" themselves.
In the end, university officials decided the program was well-intentioned but not executed properly. Experts pointed to a lack of uniform training.
But in the years since then, interest in such efforts has only grown.
Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Fla., has developed several diversity training programs. The campus is one of the most diverse in the nation, with 53 percent of students coming from a minority background.
The training is not mandatory for all students, but beginning this year it will be for student employees, said Andrea Oliver, an associate vice president at FAU.
Oliver said she did not recommend online training. At FAU, all of the training is done in person.
"Our goal is that the student walk away with at least one or two 'Aha!' moments," Oliver said. "You need direct personal interaction in order to be really successful."
At the University of Missouri, Basi said that the university already had been working to create new diversity training when the weekend incident occurred.
The training first will be mandated for new students coming in January to MU. That experience, Basi said, will allow the university to assess what adjustments the program might require in time for the 6,200 or so freshmen who will enroll in the fall of 2016.
"Eventually, every student will be trained," Basi said. A separate program is being developed for faculty and staff.
In August, MU reacted to the fomenting national issue of sexual assault on college campuses by requiring all 2015 incoming freshmen to take online sexual discrimination training.

For the first time in 18 years, the World Space Week Association (WSWA) has updated its look. With the new modern, sophisticated and powerful look, the world's largest annual space event announces a new level of growth and expansion.
The announcement of the rebranding coincides with the appointment of Dr. Francisco Javier Mendieta, Director General of the Mexican Space Agency – the first-ever election of the head of a space agency to lead the organization – as Chair of the WSWA.
World Space Week Association: inclusivity, synergy and the union of humanity and space.
The new logo , designed by , portrays the organization's core values in electric purple. The proportions resemble the earth and moon when placed next to one another. "It conveys an eclipse, an astronaut, an observatory, and more. Yet it achieves this effect using elegant, simple, imaginative geometry," says Dennis Stone, President of WSWA.
Since its declaration by the United Nations in 1999, from 4-10 October every year, WSWA has been impacting millions of people globally. One million events in 10 years, according to the WSWA president. This year alone, World Space Week had 3,500 events spread over 80 countries.

Well, that trip was canceled, but I didn't want to let her totally down, so we decided just to go to Pensacola and hang out. And use my hotel points.
|We got Jasmine's new school shoes. Can't believe we go back three weeks from today.
|Chick Fil A is one of our favorites.
|We went to Gulf Breeze Zoo, and I held the mini opossum.
|I fed the giraffe. Jasmine wasn't feeling quite that brave.
|I felt like a bird woman or something.
|She didn't really want to feed the birds, but she did accept the seed stick when I handed her one with only one bird on it.
|All the rooms at the hotel were 12,000 points so I got the biggest and the best. It was a two room suite. Jessica joined us for the night and slept on this couch.
|This was the other room.
|Jasmine and I went to Maleficent.
|We spent some time hanging out at the pool the next morning.
|We went to Destin Commons.
|We ate at Red Brick Oven.
|So that was our two days out.

The evocation academy trains warmages to revel in the raw power of magic, and use it to create and destroy with shocking ease.
Academy Powers: The evocation academy grants the following powers.
Intense Spells (Su): At 1st level, whenever you cast an evocation spell that deals hit point damage, you can expend 1 use of your academy power ability to add 1/2 your warmage level to the damage (minimum +1). This bonus only applies once to a spell, not once per missile or ray, and cannot be split between multiple missiles or rays. This bonus damage is not increased by Empower Spell or similar effects. This damage is of the same type as the spell.
Force Missile (Sp): At 3rd level, as a standard action, you can expend 1 use of your academy power ability to unleash a force missile that automatically strikes a foe, as magic missile. The force missile deals 1d4 points of damage plus the damage from your intense spells evocation power. This is a force effect.
Elemental Wall (Sp): At 10th level, you can create a wall of energy that lasts for a number of rounds per day equal to your warmage level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. This wall deals acid, cold, electricity, or fire damage, determined when you create it. The elemental wall otherwise functions like wall of fire.
Academy Spells: ear-piercing scream (3rd), admonishing ray (6th), draconic reservoir (9th), vitriolic mist (12th), lightning arc (15th), contingency (18th).
