The Sadhus Of Nepal - Part 2
This Sadhu was one of 4 or 5 Sadhus camped out around Dakshinkali Temple outside of Kathmandu. Most of the Sadhus seemed to be pretty relaxed and just waiting for someone to make a donation, but one went out of his way trying to get my attention.
The thing is, when you have someone jumping all around and begging for attention, it makes you kind of want to just ignore that person. So, sorry random overly excited Sadhu, I skipped taking your photo in favor of this much more interesting looking Sadhu shown here.

Boss Capital was launched in 2014, which makes it one of the newest, if not the newest company among elite binary options brokers. Thanks to their great offer, they were very quickly recognized by the trading community and the number of their clients started to grow almost exponentially. Great trading platform, excellent support and education and significant bonuses are just some of the reasons for the broker's popularity, but we are here to see if there are any reasons for Boss Capital complaints. We will see what our experts have to say and then compare their impressions with online comments from other traders. Let's get started and we'll see where that leads us. Read on!
Boss Capital Complaints | Our impressions
You may already know that our experts took a very detailed look at what this broker has to offer, so they know everything there is to know about the way this company functions. Their full analysis can be found in our Boss Capital Review 2016, so we'll just give you the short version here. To put it simply, they didn't find any reason for Boss Capital complaints – the broker's TechFinancials platform performed admirably, the security system was flawless and the staff were really helpful whenever they were contacted. In addition, money transfers were never a problem, as the funds reached their destination every single time before the deadline. But let's now see what other traders have to say on this subject. Stay with us, more interesting stuff is coming up!
Boss Capital Complaints | Traders' feedback
First of all, we have to say that, although they do exist, Boss Capital complaints are not very common. It's perfectly natural to find complaints about every broker, so if you find one with constantly perfect reviews you may want be careful with them. But to get back to the issue at hand, we have to say that most Boss Capital complaints are a consequence of traders not following the broker's rules. For example, they sometimes don't want to provide the necessary documents for Boss Capital Withdrawal, although the broker clearly states that these documents are needed in order to avoid frauds. The same goes for conditions regarding withdrawal of bonus funds etc. Don't rush things and research your broker thoroughly before you start investing. You will make things much easier for the broker and for yourself.
Boss Capital Complaints | Conclusion
To conclude, if you choose this broker, you will be dealing with one of the best companies in the business, and we honestly don't see any reasons for Boss Capital complaints whatsoever. And this is coming from experts with years of trading experience who have thoroughly examined everything this company offers. Just be sure to research the way this broker conducts business because sometimes brokers' conditions differ. Once you do that, you will see why Boss Capital is considered to be one of the best in this business. Open an account with them and you will enjoy your every second on the market.

Favorite Summer Dining Experience
by Whitney Frykman, Tastemaker in Residence
My most memorable summer dining experience took place on the grounds of a farm, surrounded by cows & chickens, 2 hours away from home with 300 people I did not know. The first Tuesday of every month A to Z produce and bakery, a farm in the small town of Stockholm, Wisconsin hosts the now famous "Pizza Night". Midwesterners abound, and flock to this farm starting at 4pm; with picnic bags full of sides and beverages, ready to indulge in one-of-a-kind farm to table pizza fare.
As we approached Stockholm on our map app after a long drive out of the muggy Twin Cities one summer night, we were certain we were lost until we saw trails of cars lining the farm almost a mile out. We found a spot near the Pizza Bar and laid out our blankets, chips, and wine. We strolled up to the barn to check out the offerings. There were a handful of different types of pizza on the menu.
Everything on the pies was 100% produced by A to Z; from the dough, to the cheese, the vegetables, and even the sausage.
We ordered two pizzas to split, and enjoyed the beautiful summer sky while we waited on our feast. Toppings included sun-dried tomato, whole milk mozzarella, and fennel sausage.
After our meal we ventured further into the farm enjoying the Midwestern sun-set, reminiscing on our enjoyable meal in this unique space.
It is amazing how engrossed in conversation, in touch with nature, and in forgetfulness of our work place one can get while at the "table" surrounded by nature; yet only a few hours from the busy mid-week city life!

25 Years of Visa Pour l'Image – A Tribute to Jean Francois Leroy
Interview by Anne-Celine Jaeger
There has always been a debate about whether or not an image can make a change. What's a realistic assessment of photography's value today?
If I was not deeply optimistic, I would have left Perpignan years ago. I'm still fighting because I'm convinced there is something to be done.

LEOMINSTER -- Assault charges against a local man were dropped yesterday because witnesses could not be found to testify, according to records in Leominster District Court.
Chad M. Bourgeois, 29, of 155 Johnson St. was charged with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and one count of indecent assault and battery on a person 14 or older after an incident in June in which two men were chased by two others with a knife and a 14-year-old girl was improperly touched.
The charges against Mr. Bourgeois were dismissed without prejudice, which means the case can be brought forward if prosecutors can find the witnesses.
FITCHBURG � Bail was continued at $500,000 yesterday for the city man accused of shooting two people outside a Prichard Street apartment building July 25.
Kevin Gomez, 19, of 1301 Main St., also is awaiting trial on weapons charges in Worcester Superior Court. He appeared in Fitchburg District Court yesterday for a probable cause hearing on two counts of armed assault to murder, two counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and one count of carrying a firearm without a license.
Judge Andrew Mandell continued the case to Sept. 25, when the status of his Superior Court case also will be reviewed.
Mr. Gomez is accused of ambushing Melvin Cabrera and Elizabeth Crete when the two left their Prichard Street apartment after Mr. Cabrera�s car alarm was triggered. The couple was shot in the parking lot next to 40 Prichard St. Police said their injuries were not life-threatening.
Police recovered eight spent 9 mm casings from the area of a porch overlooking the shooting scene. A witness told police he saw Mr. Gomez carrying a weapon at the time of the shooting and a warrant for his arrest was issued days after the incident, which occurred in sight of the police station.
Mr. Gomez was arrested in Worcester days later.
BOLTON � A 25-year-old Hudson man was killed and a 20-year-old Marlboro man injured when their two motorcycles collided Tuesday night on Interstate 495.
The crash occurred about 8:55 p.m. Tuesday, according to state police, who said speed appears to have been a factor.
Steven Jenkins of Marlboro was driving a 2000 Kawasaki ZX750P motorcycle and Bruno Soares of Hudson was driving a 2004Yamaha YZFR6 motorcycle as the two traveled south on I-495 before colliding just before exit 27 to Route 117.
Mr. Soares was taken by ambulance to Emerson Hospital in Concord, where he was later pronounced dead.
Mr. Jenkins was taken by medical helicopter to UMass Memorial Medical Center � University Campus in Worcester with serious injuries, according to state police. He was treated and released about 4 p.m. yesterday, a hospital spokeswoman said.
The two right lanes of I-495 South were closed for about six hours while the motorcycles were removed and the crash investigated.

FCC Adopts Rules Governing Video Relay Services
The U.S. government adopted rules governing video relay services (VRS) in order to reduce the "waste, fraud and abuse" that have plagued the program.
On Dec. 15, 2011, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted a "Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking" concerning the "structure and practices of the video relay service program" the FCC says a "structural reform of the commission's VRS rules is required to ensure that the program is effective, efficient and sustainable." While adopted, the commission is seeking comment on the rule.
The FCC says the latest rule continues "the process of reexamining the fundamentals of the commission's VRS rules to ensure the VRS program fulfills the goals" that are mandated by the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010. Specifically, in the latest rule the FCC proposes "a series of options and proposals to improve the structure and efficiency of the program to ensure that it is available to all eligible users and offers functional equivalence—particularly given advances in commercially available technology, and is immune as possible from the waste, fraud and abuse that threaten the long-term viability of the program as it currently operates."
During the past two years, the FCC has sought to improve the efficiency and performance of the VRS program by reexamining the rates at which VRS providers are compensated under the existing per-minute compensation methodology, as well as "initiating a fresh look at the structure and practices of the VRS program," the proposed rule says.
In addition, the current structure of the VRS program "has been vulnerable to waste, fraud and abuse" that threatens its "long-term sustainability," the FCC says. Actions taken by the FCC's inspector general's office and the Department of Justice have resulted in several criminal convictions, as well as new policies focused on VRS practices and certifications.
In addition, the FCC has revisited the "per-minute compensation rates" to providers for "interstate" telecommunications relay services (TRS). The rates for TRS compensation started at $5.14 per minute in 2000 and peaked at $17.04 per minute in 2002, but they dropped to from $6 to $8 per minute between 2003 and 2006. However, the FCC adopted interim TRS rates on a "tier" system. The actual rate is determined based on volume which generally results in smaller providers receiving "a higher average per-minute rate than larger providers," the FCC says. Those rates are: $6.23 per minute for Tier I; $6.23 per minute for Tier II; and $5.06 per minute for Tier III. The FCC originally pursued VRS payment formulas, but has since abandoned that plan in favor of continuing with the tier payment plan, the rule says.

SIERRA NEVADA (San Joaquin River Watershed) – Dr. Bob Derlet – who has made the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the environment a major focus of his insurgent campaign for Congress in the 4th CD – will interrupt his political campaign schedule starting this weekend for a four-day scientific fact-finding mission deep into the sierra wilderness watershed.
Contrasted to incumbent Rep. Tom McClintock, who doesn't even live in the 4th CD, Dr. Derlet said his concern about the Sierra is important, in part because he's a resident and primary care doctor in Tuolumne County.
Traveling with a group of other professionals, Dr. Derlet is expected to collect data from 10 lakes in the upper reaches of the San Joaquin river watershed in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
"I have nearly 20 years of longitudinal data on wilderness lakes and streams, and I do not want to skip a year. This trip will focus on water analysis of 10 lakes ranging from 7,800 ft. to 11,000 ft. in the Central Sierra. My concern is the increase in Algae related to increasing Sierra Lake temperatures and pollution into the lakes from polluted air," said Dr. Derlet, a UC Davis professor who has published more than 20 scientific research articles related to the Sierra Nevada Watershed.
Noting that "our district includes 300 miles of the most pristine and majestic landscapes in America, the Northern and Central Sierra Nevada. Several 14,000-foot high mountain peaks, Lake Tahoe, and Yosemite and Kings Canyon National Parks captivate the eye, as they did John Muir's over 100 years ago," Dr. Derlet pointed out that the Federal Government manages two thirds of the district area that includes vast forests, wild rivers and thousands of high country lakes.
"These areas need some form of Federal protection. I support Senate Bill 1724, which provides $415 million to 'Keep Tahoe Blue.' I support scientific forest management to prevent catastrophic fires that have destroyed homes and damaged our watershed. And I encourage conservation of one of California's most precious resources so present and future generations of families can experience the same tranquility and beauty that John Muir once experienced," he said.
The 4th district includes Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Mariposa, and Tuolumne counties plus portions of Fresno, Madera, Nevada, and Placer counties.

Event Report: Palo Alto Network's Cert Fest at the Plano, TX office on December 12.
Greetings Programs!
Joe Delio from the Live Community team here bringing you a report on the Palo Alto Networks Cert Fest that happened on December 12, 2017 at the Palo Alto Networks Plano, TX office. You may have seen the blog posted 2 weeks ago by @carnould announcing the Cert Fest here: Announcing CERT FEST in Plano, Texas on December 12, 2017!
This event was actually the second Cert Fest that Palo Alto Networks has hosted. The first Cert Fest was held on November 1st and 2nd 2017 at the Palo Alto Networks Santa Clara Corporate Office. 76 people attended, which consisted of both Security Professionals and Palo Alto Networks employees.
At this weeks Cert Fest in Plano, 102 security professionals attended, so it was a full house, as you can see in the photos. People had travelled all the way from Florida and Chicago just for this. Melissa Tuite of the Technical Certification team (in photo below) and Ken Mauldin of the Global Enablement team hosted the Cert Fest in Plano and it was a great event.
Full house at the Plano Cert Fest.
The Agenda consisted of short introduction to Palo Alto Networks Certification Framework, participation in Palo Alto Networks PCNSE Exam Preparation Workshop and then take the PCNSE certification exam in the same location.
The introduction to the Certification Framework was nice because it helped us understand the way that the certification test operated and the best way to navigate and make the most of the limited time (90 minutes) to take the 75 question exam.
The Workshop covered some the topics covered in the Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer Certification (PCNSE) exam and was carried out in a "Bar Trivia Quiz" format and was a very entertaining and informative part of this event. All of the participants were scored during the Workshop and the top 3 scores were able to choose from a Bluetooth Headset, a Bluetooth speaker or a battery pack as prizes.
We all had fun answering questions group competition style.
As with any event like this, the ability to meet and network with other Network Security professionals is always nice. It's also a way to reconnect with old co-workers who may also be attending the event.
The cherry on top of everything is the ability to pass the exam. For those who were able to pass the exam, you would get a PCNSE wrist band and a "I got certified at Cert Fest" t-shirt.
Swag you received if you passed the PCNSE exam.
All in all the Palo Alto Networks Cert Fest was a very successful event, and I hope that they will be planning other locations very soon. As soon as we hear of any, we will be sure to let everyone know.
More Info
If you have been studying or want more information about the exam, there are many of resources available to you to help you prepare for, AND PASS, your PCNSE Certification Exam. please see:

Yipeeee! 100th post & it's on one of the most special movies ever, Shree. All you readers, thank-you so much for the support :).
Shree, released on April 26th with a mixed response. A lot of critics & Tv fraternity loved the movie, the lead actor's (Hussain Kuwajerwala) honest & brilliant acting and the gripping nature of the movie. I got a chance to watch this movie in Mumbai.Here's my review-
Have you guys ever read Agatha Christie's novels? The thrill & mystery element in her books keep you hooked till the end. That was my first reaction as I finished the movie. A sci-fi movie tag was enough to get me excited about the movie and the movie totally lived upto the genre. It kept me hooked & made me guess till the land moment; and I ended up loving the movie.
The movie starts off with a story of a common man Shreedhar Upadhaya who works as an accountant in an MNC. A girlfriend, her mother's constant demands & the pressure to get married and be rich, everything every common man living in Mumbai wishes for. He gets a tempting offer from Randhawa to trade 12 hours of his life for 20 lakh rupees, but he doesn't know what he is expected to do. The only thing he is assured is the work is not bad, it's just huge. In a matter of few hours, Shree's life is a mess. He is accused of murder of the Police Commissioner & he doesn't even know why. A series of twists n turns tell you the movie is about science, time fissure and time travel & you are totally blown out of your minds. Yet, you cannot predict the end & the movie will make you play the guessing game!A Bollywood movie, new cast & crew and such a brilliant thought theme; kudos.
Performance of the Crew– The movie has few numbers mostly used to support the movie, and hardly get any attention. Though the ending credits promotional song 'Phat Gayi' could have been better, considering Hussain K is a powerpacked dancer; but it was a good change anyways.The dialogues are pretty okay, though at times you want something more; something out of the bolt to boggle your mind. The movie is made on a low-budget which does show at a lot of places, especially missing of an art director. The sound mixing is average, though I liked the background score used in the starting credits of the movie. The story was pretty gripping & must have looked 10 times better on paper, because of the genre. You need a lot of explanations, twists, which do get neglected in a mere 2 hour movie. Overall, a good work by the crew considering everyone was a first timer.
Performance of the Cast– Now this is my favorite part. Hussain Kuwajerwala is a STAR, indeed a ROCKSTAR. He is the shining star of the movie with his more than extraordinary acting. Right from playing a common man to a person who is accused of murders; Hussain plays each part so convincingly that you feel it's all happening right in front of you. You can feel the honesty of the character, of the actor throughout the movie. And the last scene before the end credits roll, you almost see a Superstar driving his way to fame, yes, Hussain looks that good. Anjali Patil fails to impress with her shrill over-the-top shouting in the movie. Shivani scores a decent score with her subtle acting. Paresh Ganatra totally floored me with his style, and performs his part really well. Rest of the characters do their role as required, with no major flaws & totally supporting the movie.
Overall, if you want to watch a different Bollywood movie, watch Shree. If you want to watch a movie where you gotta use your brains, watch Shree. I'd get you 100 reasons to watch Shree; so better watch it ;).
Rating– 4/5 (extra 0.5 only because of Hussain K's acting)
Love is not rocket science, it is just feelings. It is the happiness the other person brings in your life with their presence. Love may be devoid of words but it fills the life with emotions. Love does not think if life will be comfortable after settling down. Love does not think before falling in love & love does not think after falling in love. And those who follow the path of love stay happy, no matter what the conditions are.
Yes, that's what "Barfi" is. The movie revolves around 3 characters- Barfi, Jhilmil and Shruti. It brings about a story from the 1970's in the cities of Kolkata and Darjeeling. It expresses the feeling we love, the feeling we detest, the feeling we hate at times, the feeling called "Love"; in the most beautiful & simple form. The movie brings out the essence of Love without the need of words, the pure innocent smile & the beauty of trains. You won't hear too many words through the movie, but you will feel a lot. This one is for the heart, for the emotions & for Love.
Coming to performances, I felt each and every actor has given an excellent performance. The music takes the movie to another level. Phir Le Aaya Dil was the high point of the movie for me, and it just touches your heart very strongly. There are parts when the movie is slow, there are parts where you feel it's nothing out of the world but as the movie ends; you are on an emotional high. A brilliantly potrayed movie with moments of Awww-ness.
This movie makes you think on how the essence of love has changed. How we need words to love & how words also fall short to love. A sweet, simple & a heart touching story.
Overall, a must watch for people who think their heart deserves some love every now & then.
"Love thy with all my heart. Love thy like my own heart"
I never knew what it was to be madly in love, to be crazy, to love someone with all your heart, to be a fan until 9 years back I saw HIM. I found my crazy, insane, bubbly side because of him and I shall love him for eternity for that. His innocence and his smile spelled their magic on me and there was no looking back. Even today, I can stare at him and get butterflies in my stomach when I have to meet him.
He is none other than "H.U.S.E.I.N". I am sure almost all of you knew, if you know me since a while. He started off with his TV career where I saw him initially and then moved on to do dance shows, ultimately doing a Live entertainment show "Zangoora". As every other person who is related to the entertainment industry, he too wished to make it to Bollywood someday. I have been closely following him since so many years, and I know that he is very talented and hard working. He is someone who deserves the best and no I am not being biased. If there is something wrong, I shall directly say it (even he knows it).
The big leap has finally come. Husein is doing a movie, though it's a very small budget suspense thriller kind of movie. But he is going to be making the big shift, no matter the cast or any other aspect. The movie is titled "Shree" and is expected to come out at the start of next year. And this news makes me soo soo happy. As an ardent fan, I feel proud of my love and just want to wish him lots and lots of GoodLuck. I know whenever it hits the screens, it shall make his fans proud of him (Oh it shall defo make me proud). And I am so going to do the first review on it on this blog, which already makes me so excited. Just sending lots of prayers, good wishes and positivity to my love for all the success that he deserves and shall get with god's grace. I love him, and I know I shall always love him.
My Love for him is just so special. Beyond words, beyond eternity.

Finished Felted Objects
I really should have measured the items before and after they were felted...this is an amazing process which needs to be quantified! Still, the mitten will have a partner from the gold, then I will make a set of brown for Becka. I did learn from the process...the thumb is the correct length, but a bit fat. The scarf felted well...I can hardly wait to do it again!

MONSTER Tee
Customer Reviews

Love is the way!
Simple yet just what I wanted. Not only does this show support to Exo, I had a friend that passed away nicknamed Monster (RIP DEON!!!) so it has a personal touch for me. That aside, the fabric is comfortable and fits well. Another quality shirt from allkpop!
It's good and I like the style
Great shirt!
Since EXO is my favorite group I wanted a shirt that could show that off in a subtle way. This shirt is perfect for that since Monster is an awesome song, and it's comfortable enough to wear often. I really love it, thank you!
Perfect fit!
The shirt fit perfectly, although I had wanted something a little more loose - mental note for next time: order a size up from your usual size! Overall, I absolutely love the subtlety and simplicity of the design ^^
Great Shirt
This shirt is almost perfect, but the one thing that makes it not, is that it's like a magnet. Any type of hair (whether it be human or dog), fuzz from a soft blanket or small strands of who knows what are just a few of the things that this shirt attracts. Lint roller to the rescue!

It is important to provide protein for all stages of your pet's life. Protein is essential in early stages to sustain rapid development, and as your pet ages, protein provides regenerative support.
The labels on commercial pet foods list crude protein values, which indicate overall protein in the package rather than the amount of usable protein. The quality and the sources of the protein in your pet's foods are of primary importance. It should come from real meat sources, not by-products or mystery meat meal. Much of the unusable protein in commercial foods comes from grains and other difficult-to-digest foods, and can actually cause protein deficiency, along with other health issues including digestive problems and allergies.
The kidneys are another organ that is often associated with protein intake. According to researchers, high protein levels in food DO NOT cause kidney damage in the normal, healthy dog or cat! It is very important to feed your pet a high biological value protein. This means a protein that is highly digestible, easily absorbed by the intestinal tract, and that its amino acid components (the building blocks of proteins) include all the essential types of amino acids in their optimal proportions, leaving little for the kidneys to filter. This is crucial for animals that have impaired kidney function as well because by-products of protein digestion are the main toxins that need to be excreted by the kidneys.
Starting your pet on a high quality, easily digestible, utilized protein, from the beginning, will give their bodies the appropriate fuel needed to function at the highest possible level.
In recent years, there has been a great deal of debate regarding the effects of protein on our pets. There is a misconception that protein accelerates bone development, and that pets, especially large breed dogs, can be negatively affected if they consume too much protein when they are young. It is sometimes argued that excess protein could also harm the kidneys. Unfortunately, these misconceptions have led to feeding practices that are harmful for our pets.
The truth is - genetics determines growth rate, not the amount of protein consumed. Carnivores require a large amount of protein, which is converted and processed in several ways to support the many cellular structures in the body. Feeding high levels of protein along with the appropriate ratio of calcium and phosphorus with other necessary minerals will not cause bone problems. Bone growth problems are usually a result of excess calories or an inappropriate ratio of calcium to phosphorus, rather than excess protein. Dogs raised on commercial diets with substandard ingredients experience more musculoskeletal problems than those raised on a natural diet that includes protein from high quality meat.

Decorators Name Names
So Many Sites, So Little Time: We Enlist Décor Experts To ID Their Web Sources
When Amy Mowery wanted to give her sofa a new look recently, she headed for what she thought was her easiest shopping bet -- the Internet. But overwhelmed by the number of sites offering slipcovers, the Chicago Web-site producer never got further than scrutinizing tiny fabric-swatch photos.
"I wasted a lot of time," says Ms. Mowery, 34, who ultimately bought a gray slipcover from a a local shop. "It was hard to tell what the covers really looked like, and what the quality was."...

|Date of Ordination:
|May 21, 2011
|Current Assignment:
|Parish of the Holy Cross, Bridgeton
As a former civil servant and newly retired police detective, I had always felt the call to help lost souls who long for someone to understand them.
Pope John Paul II's 1990 encyclical Redemptoris Missio called for a new evangelization, a new mission work to those who know about God and His mercy, even if they are not fully engaged in their faith. As an active Catholic, I learned different ways to evangelize through retreats, to reach out to separated brothers and sisters, to help and guide youth, and to reach out to gang members. Yes, I said gang members.
I have seen individuals lost to the gang world return to the church, repent, receive the sacraments and be freed from the bondage of the gang world. It happened when I was able to guide them with prayer, patience, moderation and brotherly love. As a police detective I was respected, but the advice that I gave troubled youth was not as easily accepted. As an officer, I was judged by the persons feeling condemned. They felt I couldn't possibly understand or sympathize with them.
However, ordination changed my life. I have a new sense of security as I see myself becoming a more devout Christian and servant. Not that the ongoing journey is without challenge. The main challenge I have faced is working with under-catechized or poorly catechized Catholics. I seek to re-introduce Christ all over again to them. Many think that the word of God doesn't speak to them. I also find I must focus on the fundamentals of the church and preach the truth without sugarcoating it. As a servant of the Lord, I face these challenges head on and pray as much as I work to help bring back the lost sheep and to help those still in the church come to a full understanding and love of God.

Jason's parents and brother are visiting so I haven't had much of a chance to get on the computer but I thought I would put something up quick with a few pictures I have sitting that way I can make room to take new ones!
It really has been cold, Saturday morning Mel and I went out to get the guys coffee and it was FREEZING!!! Look at the mountains in the morning though.. so pretty!
It was rough being out of cell phone range to get any service to check the score of the games! poor Jason kept asking me to check service. This is the picture he had me take for Mom before we left the house!
This is the fishing boat Dad, Uncle Stick, Jason & Josh took halibut fishing!!
Holland America Cruise Line I believe it was called!
So what else is going on.... Well poor Mr. Myles is suffering from a bilateral ear infection and an upper respiratory infection! That poor guy! He has been stuffy for quite some time but with teething and no fever Mel thought it could all be attributed to that. Finally after being stuffy for almost 3 weeks she took him to the doctors and that's what he said. Hes on antibiotics for now, and hopefully will be feeling much better soon. As you can tell yesterday at lunch he was just not himself...
Anyways football season is working out well for me so far, they do a pool at Jason's work every week for all the games and Jason let me in on it and I won!! HAHA! I won $75 playing against all these guys.. haha I love it! I'm not at all upset about the $75 but with a bunch of guys its nice to have the bragging rights too! However I did not win the family pool, haha Mom won that one! That guys obviously all did spectacular this week! Dad says he wants half because he taught me everything I know. He's not wrong but I'm not sharing.. haha maybe with next weeks earnings!
So before I sign off I wanted to make mention of some pretty spectacular news I heard yesterday! I have heard through the grapevine that Uncle Stick and Aunt Bren have quit smoking!!!!!! AMAZING!! Jason and I are so proud of you guys!! How do you think we go about getting everyone else on your band wagon?? We we are so happy for you guys, you are adding years to your life and we really want you around! We love you tons!!
Alright I'm signing off.. haven't had a call at work in hours, going to make some more slippers.
Hope everyone is having a great week!

Under cabinet lights are now being used in many kitchen applications. They are installed under the upper cabinets to provide you with good task lighting.
Up to 10,000 hours rated lamp life from a low voltage Xenon bulb. Slightly warmer color rendering compared to LED and Fluorescents. Dimmable with the appropriate dimmer control. Provides some heat to the bottom of your cabinets but not as much as the halogen would.
25-35% more efficient than a standard halogen or incandescent fixture Halogen
(Our free guide details all the benefits of LED Lighting and more)
Fluorescent is a cool-operating energy efficient light fixture. It offers shadow free task lighting in both residential and commercial spaces. Fluorescent is great in closets as it accentuates the darker colors. However it is a harsh white light, which washes out lighter colors. Fluorescent also cannot be dimmed.
Our La Cornue kitchen display with no under cabinet lighting
Halogen is a bright task light but it also produces a great amount of heat to the bottom of your cabinets. A halogen fixture will cost much less than any of the above but in the long run it will cost you more by having to replace bulbs every 6 months to a year at $7 to $10 per bulb. If you have three 24" strips and each strip has 3 bulbs, you will be spending about $90 every six months to a year.
Pricing on this blog is for reference only and may include time sensitive rebates. We make every attempt to provide accurate pricing at time of publishing. Please call the stores for most accurate price.
2,000 hours rated life span Non-energy efficient Produces great amount of heat to your cabinets (there goes your chocolates and peanut butter) Cheaper to buy but requires a lot of maintenance over time (changing bulbs) In the long run, you will end up spending more on electricity and buying light bulbs every 6 months to a year I would not recommend leaving this on as a night light Mostly used in rental properties or if you are on a tight budget Summary
The picture above shows undercabinet lighting on the toe kick for a great effect in your kitchen or even bathroom. There are tons of under cabinet lighting systems available today. We will look at the four best, but first let's look at LED lighting.
Xenon is a gas on an incandescent filament, which produces a warm light. Light quality and dimming capability are the characteristics of the Xenon bulb. However, Xenon is an incandescent bulb, so it is energy inefficient and does not last as long as a LED.
Best Under Cabinet Lighting (LED / Xenon / Halogen / Fluorescent)
70% of initial illumination at the end of 50,000 hours. Cool to the touch with virtually no heat on the bottom of the cabinets (Your peanut butter and chocolate will not melt inside your cabinets). 85% more efficient than an incandescent/halogen light and 50% more efficient than fluorescent.
Some models are dimmable with an appropriate LED dimmer. Keep it on as a night light and not have to worry about heat on your cabinets. For a good quality LED light you want to stay under 3,000 Kelvin Temp (warmer light output).
Short on time? Get our free Under Cabinet Lighting Buying Guide LED (Light Emitting Diodes)
Below is a comparison of the four different bulb options for under cabinet lighting. We will start with the most energy efficient (LED).
Start finding answers in our Resource Center full of Videos, Buying Guides and Checklists
Under cabinet lights are available with different bulb options ranging from incandescent (halogen) to high energy efficiency (LED).
Up to 10,000 hour rated life from a good quality fluorescent bulb. Provides minimum heat output (Good for closet spaces in case you leave it on accidentally). Bright, uniform, shadow free illumination.
Good lighting for basements, closets, garages, laundry rooms, and commercial spaces where lights can stay on a lot. Non-Dimmable ballasts Xenon
In my opinion, I definitely think that LED is the way to go. You may be spending more money up front but it's definitely worth the initial outlay. A 7-watt LED is roughly equivalent to a 50-60 watt bulb, so you will be saving a fortune in energy costs. LED will cost approximately $2 to run yearly versus $14.8 in energy costs per bulb for halogen if used just 4 hours a day. That does not include 2-3 bulb replacements per year at $5 per bulb.
Are you looking for the best under cabinet lighting but not sure what to buy? This article will help you decide what is best for your application.
For the latest how-tos, buying guides and videos, check out the Yale Resource Center. Over 100,000 people have read a Yale Guide and over 490,000 people have watched a Yale Video.
You have to be very careful when buying a LED light source of any type. Typically, LED renders a bluish light. Even the newer LEDs promising a better light still deliver a poor quality light. In our experience, the only LED consistently delivering a natural light has a Cree chip or filter.
LED is a solid-state lamp that uses light-emitting diodes as the source of light. LED lamps offer long service life and high energy efficiency, but initial costs are higher than those of fluorescent and incandescent bulbs. A good quality LED bulb can last for up to 50,000 hours. At 4 hours per day you can expect up to 30 years of maintenance free operation.

What a wonderful start to the day we had with the annual Ride2School Day last Friday. There was a record number of Cottage School students, parents and siblings bike riding, scooting and skateboarding. Thank you to all staff & parents who joined in to help promote the physical and mental benefits of being active. We joined thousands of other schools around Australia to make riding, skating and walking a feature of our school's culture. It is wonderful to see the increasing number of families who are riding to school.

What a fantastic show! All the children from Kinder to Grade 6 practised their circus skills during a few Phys Ed classes. At the end of last term they performed their show for the whole school community. Bravo! Bravo! Great job everyone – we loved it. Check out the Gallery for lots more pictures.
Sally's Garden is being created to recognise the founder of the Cottage School (1975).
The space at the front of the Green Cottage, which was previously a little unloved, is getting a much needed make over. In the spirit of Sally it is being transformed into an outdoor classroom complete with beautiful sandstone seating that encircles a fire pit come water play come table, new sandstone steps, small fruit trees (heritage apple), native grasses and a refurbished garden bed incorporating a 'cubby nook'.
A very big thank you to Thierry Cueff and his gang for creating the lovely stone seating, steps and yet to come cladding on the retaining wall.
And Ben Walker for sculpting the fire pit (which will actually be more like a flaming wok!) that started it's life ploughing the fields at Penna.
We are aiming to have it complete early in term four. Just in time for warm outdoor learning!
More information on the history of the school can be found here and more pictures here.
The whole school participated in the Great Book Swap (a fundraiser for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation) on Wednesday 10th September. Students donated books for the cause and then bought a book with a gold coin donation.
Tom's Middlies have just finished their gymnastics unit at the PCYC in Liverpool St. They had the opportunity to use a variety of equipment including; the beam, even and uneven bars, rings, mats for rolling and tumbling and their favourites, the trampoline & climbing rope.
Here are a few photos of the action:
Jane and Amadeo brought a 'Skoog' into Shona's music class last week. The Skoog was designed by some young guys in England to make music accessible to everyone. It is a spongy cube which you can squeeze or touch to make sound and is connected to a computer. The children were able to choose from a large selection of instruments to play. Looks like the children had lots of fun making some great music with it.
Hana's Grade 1/2 class created tapestries about the day in the life of a hunter from the Stone Age.
Tom's Grade 3/4 class visited the ruins of Lisdillon Saltworks for their History and Science inquiry (Historic Inventors and Innovators). They stayed overnight in their tents on Paul's block. What a great example of learning outside the classroom and even the overnight rain didn't dampen their spirits. They also visited the new Saltworks at Mayfield Jetty Road and the Bark Mill at Swansea.
The Littlies went to the Botanical Gardens this week for Environment Day to explore the infinite variety of plants and fungi.
We also enjoyed playing in the autumn leaves.
Some of the kids, mums, dads and teachers that rode to school…the learning can really benefit from some before school exercise and what better way than to ride your bike to school?
Every Thursday morning Lee starts us off with a yoga session…a great way to prepare the body and mind for a day of learning.
An ex-student has donated $4,000 to the school. What a generous gift from a 19 year old heading off to university! Thank you Edward – we'll put the money to good use. We wish you all the very best at Uni and in all your future endeavours.
It was the last day of term on Thurs which meant it was time to say goodbye to our kids who are moving onto their new schools.
Farewell, be safe and I'm sure we'll all see each other around the Hobart village.
A popular event on the community calendar, The Cottage School Fair is best described as a cross between a Farmer's Market and a Craft & Design Market.
The whole school community, including members of extended families; past school families; friends; and even community members, unconnected to the School, bring the best of home-grown ; homemade and handmade together to create the thousands of items for sale on the day.
This teamwork, one of inclusion; community spirit and the focus on home-made, rather than mass-produced, are part of The Cottage School ethos. The same ethos that underpins our curriculum and code of ethics influences many of our choices and standards at Fair.
Bring your friends and your family and remember to come early and stay for a while! Enjoy coffee and cake; a milkshake or ice-cream; or even lunch. Take home something for your Garden, your pantry or perhaps for dinner. Pick up a Crafty gift or two and fossick for a bargain on the second hand stalls. On the way out, choose a bright bouquet of flowers and pick up your plants.
We hope to see you there!
Well done to everyone who made it to our last working bee for 2013.
It was a tricky day to find the time with the Federal Election requiring us to vote and the weather threatening to dampen our day (there will be plenty of catch up jobs for those that didn't make it!), but in the end the sun shone and those that did make had a huge impact with lots of the usual jobs ticked off plus some great new things for the kids to explore, like three new vegie gardens, a new music wall and markings going onto the white courtyard wall for PE.
The school's absolutely sparkling…for more pics check out the working bee gallery.
This really encourages us to sacrifice something in order to gain something else. It's also a great opportunity to discuss some of the difficulties many indigenous children live with; growing up without books and not being able to read and write.
The Cottage School manure dig for 2013 saw over 20 keen parents and friends meet in the Tassie highlands to shovel, scoop and encourage very good quality sheep manure (can you say that?) into 1100 bags. This is a great opportunity for the school community to get to know each other better, but it's also an important part of preparing for our major fundraiser in November, the Cottage School fair.
Special thanks to Lesley and Andrew for organising the day and John and Di Fowler for allowing us into their lovely shearing shed.
The whole school squeezed indoors due to bad weather to watch the end of term 2 concert. Special thanks to Shona (our music teacher), Kate (our French and poetry teacher) and the kids of course!
Check out the gallery page for more pictures.
And we say goodbye to Ruby. We wish you all the best Ruby.
A beautiful night for the Cottage School winter solstice bonfire.
Good fire. Good food. Good company.
Special thanks to Vanessa, Thierry and Cléo for hosting.
Thanks to everyone who came to the mid year working bee last Saturday
We always have a diverse range of jobs and a diverse range of skills to match. A lot was achieved.
One of the best things about these days is seeing the school community come together. Having an opportunity to catch up with old faces you may not have seen for a term of two and welcome new families that have joined the school community this year. For those that don't do the daily drop off or pick ups, it's an opportunity to connect with the school again and of course an extra day at school is a real bonus for the kids!
The school really sparkles post working bee and has a air of new, fresh, energy about it.
Thank you to all.
The Cottage School is very much looking forward to the start of the 2013 school year. See you all on Monday 4th Feb…

The traditional end of year concert was held last Friday and was well attended by family and friends. Thanks to the good weather we were able to hold it outdoors. Big thanks to Shona, our music teacher and Aaron, who's been teaching guitar this term, for organising the performance. It's always nice to have the school community come together.

For the 2012 third term camp we had glorious weather for our 3 night camp, one of the Cottage School's favourite spots. Mayfield on the East Coast was the scene of much emotional, physical and social growth and this camp was undertaken wholeheartedly by all.
The Middlies (Grades 2,3 and 4) together enjoyed swimming with current at the Estuary, exploring and damming Buxton creek, shell collecting on Christmas Island,bird watching at the Eagle's eyrie and walking and exploring the property. This setting provided the children with the opportunity and time to build enduring relationships in an authentic environment.
From a teacher's point of view, our camps are an immensely important part of our curriculum. We are able to understand the students on a completely different level. We witnessed them challenging themselves physically and emotionally while fostering their independence in situations that require them to collaborate, reach a consensus of opinion, compromise, negotiate and apply all the skills required to work as a part of an effective group.
Part of our school tradition is to acknowledge each camper's contribution with an award, this provides the opportunity for the children to celebrate each other's successes and reflect on their own achievements.
For years, Cottage School children have been researching, recording and passing on the history of the Buxton's, the first owners of Mayfield. Their emigration from England, arrival in Tasmania and the trials and tribulations of establishing a farm on the East Coast, are all significant events synonymous with Tasmania's early history. This year Bruce helped to solve the mystery of where Thomas Buxton was buried after the death of his wife in 1864.
Each November the children look forward to introducing a new group of Middlies to the Mill, the activities and the places that make Mayfield significant to another generation of Tasmanians.
More pictures can be seen at the Middlies Mayfield Camp gallery or see Curriculum for more information on why camp is important to the Cottage School.
The school is thrilled to advise that we have recruited 2 new, very high caliber teachers. A very big welcome on behalf of the Cottage School community to Michelle Mihalic (Littlies) and Pamela Daly (Kinder).
Michelle has a number of years teaching experience including Reggio Emilia training. She will be known to some of you as she has relieved at the Cottage School this year. Pamela has also had a number of years teaching experience and most recently taught at the well known Silkwood School on the mainland which has a very high reputation.
Until the end of the year both Michelle and Pamela will be at Cottage School one day a week as part of their induction process. Please take the time to go and introduce yourself and welcome Michelle and Pamela to our School. I know they are both incredibly pleased to have been appointed and it was a pleasure to be able to ring them and offer the positions. Michelle and Pamela will both be a wonderful asset to the school and will bring new skills, experience and ideas that will assist in growing Cottage School and help us move forward into the future.
The third term Biggies camp was held together with John Marsden's Candlebark School (Victoria) at Douglas River on the Tasmanian East Coast.

The Cottage School fair, our major fund raiser for the year, was held last Saturday at the Bellerive PCY.
Once again the school community worked hard to pull together a wonderful event that attracts a large number of regulars, friends, families and first timers. Funds raised at the fair (a substantial amount of money particularly for a small school) goes into the Friends of Cottage School (FOCS) fund and is used to purchase items needed other than the normal everyday things required for running a school. High on the list is a new school bus, but other things include the redevelopment of the sand pit, a food processor and cooking utensil for the cooked lunch program, the new deck in the nook in front of the White Cottage just to name a few
A very big thank you to the school community for making and donating the wonderful produce sold at the fair and the help provided on the day. A big thank you also goes out to the businesses that donated produce or vouches – all have contributed to making the day such a success. Elisia and the Innis-Short family deserve special thanks as the tireless fair coordinator and her patient family that lives through the build up to this one day in November!
More pictures coming soon to the gallery…
One of the highlights of fair day for the kids is the 'wet and wild play' that takes place back at school whilst parents and staff pack up. Tom, our Middlies 3/4 teacher, reminds the kids of our playground rules "Is it safe, is it fair, does it show I care" before things get underway.
See more pictures at the Fair Gallery…
Sat 10th November, 9am – 1pm
Bellerive PCYC – 10 Scott Street, Bellerive
The annual school fair is our major fundraising event. We have lots of great stalls selling gourmet foods, freshly baked goods, cottage plants, crafts, cakes and lots more.

Good news, the sandpit drainage has now been fixed. We're looking forward to the next big wet to test it out!!
It has come to our attention over the last few weeks that the new sandpit has a drainage problem. We are looking into this and aim to rectify the problem over the September school holidays. Apologies if your child has come home a little damp because of it, but from all reports they actually prefer it this way…apparently it's much more like a beach!
Attention parents, families and friends.
The end of term concert is on this Monday (27 August) at 2pm. See you all there!
Three years ago Cottage school looked a little different!
Thanks to the very generous government grants – known as 'Building the Education Revolution-BER' for schools, Cottage School was able to embark on the most extensive renovation and refurbishment it has ever had. Anne remarked that it felt like a dream!
For decades, Cottage relied on the 'army' of parent helpers to paint, patch and keep the buildings in a useable condition. Now, our lovely cottages are professionally painted inside and out, some have new windows, new roofing, new wiring, new plumbing, new carpets, new walls, new heating…the list goes on.
The Biggies cottage has a wonderful kitchen extension, underneath which we have the brand new Kinder room, with a landscaped ampitheatre outside. There is even a brand new kitchen in the Middlies cottage for school lunch preparation. The storage sheds outside replace some very old buildings and have provided cleaner, drier storage for important items like dress-ups and sport equipment. Most importantly the school is now a shining example for energy efficient renovations.
Senator Bilyk was on hand to unveil the official plaque and to receive the school community's heart felt thanks. She heard from a number of people how it has improved our school.
So many people at the school were involved in the project that I am bound to miss someone if I try! Almost every member of the school community in some way contributed- from checking buildings, to running errands, choosing equipment for kitchens, colours for cottages , attending steering committees………… However, Penny must come high on the list for managing a lot of financial business. I have fond memories of running into the independent schools authority with our progress reports to be signed off for our next tranche of money to pay the builders! Teaching staff must be honored for their efforts to teach in temporary classrooms, which must have been very challenging at times.
Our supervising architect was the very talented Nigel Legge, and our builders were Otto Berry. Sean Berry and his team must be congratulated for their ability to work safely and kindly near the children, and for getting the job done to such a high standard.
Clarence Council was fantastic in getting the approvals through in a timely fashion, and our various electricians and plumbers must also be mentioned. One major, but unseen part of the project involved consolidating the electrical connections to the school from three to one and connecting the cottages with data cables. Lastly, you may have noted a rather fine array of solar panels on the roof of the white cottage. These were as a result not of the BER- but a tenaciously applied for- over a couple of years!- 50K$ solar school grant, that just happened to coincide with the end of the BER. These solar panels are putting a large amount of energy into the grid, and in summer, actually put the school into healthy credit! This should result in an incredibly modest electricity bill over the year for the school. We will keep you informed. The installers of the array were Nuenergy.
The school is now included in 'Sustainable House Day' on Sunday 9th September between 10 am and 4pm.

An upgrade to the Cottage School sandpit had been in the planning for a few years, however sometimes things just have to wait until the right people come along…
Parents Kevin Roberts and Rob Gowty, together with Kinder teacher Janet Patel, provided just the right mix to get things started. Much discussion and planning went into what the childrens' needs were and what would work for the school as a whole.
Finally things got started in mid 2012 with the added help of George Underwood, Ben Walker and Dong-Chul Lim (known onsite as DC) and it wasn't long before things started to get serious with sand being removed, holes being dug, cement being laid, dirt being moved, new sand brought in, more dirt moved, timber walls erected, bit more dirt moved before finally the new sandpit was ready for some serious play time.
All the workers involved got much thanks and gratitude from the staff, the school community and most importantly the children who produced some very special thank you cards. These will be cherished and go into the 'special things' drawer.
The grand opening saw a song performed by Margie's Prep/1s and Hana's Middlies 1/2s that summarised in song, the highs and lows of the sandpit build. It was enough to bring a tear to a burly old sandpit builder's eye.
Perhaps the new sandpit will still be in use when our children's' children come to Kinder for the first time…
Sheep poo $5 a bag
A big draw card for the Cottage School fair each year is the bags of quality sheep poo we sell. Gardeners have come to know and trust this great garden fertilizer from the Cottage School fair. Unfortunately someone has to actually collect it, so twice a year the sheep poo coordinator (yes that's how serious we take it) calls for volunteers to pack their BBQ lunch and head for the country with spades, rakes, buckets and other specially designed sheep poo collecting equipment.
Our first dig this year, under the new management of Andy Wells and Lesley Gardener, was a huge success. A very well organised couple of days saw an estimated 1,500 bags collected. That's got to be a record!? There was a great turn out of school families that whilst doing the school a great service also get the opportunity to get to know people from the school community, particularly those parents who can't do school drop off and pick up.
A very big thank you to our hosts, farmers Sarah and Steve, who not only opened their shearing sheds to the school, but also their home.
Lots of bags of poo makes for a very happy fair coordinator!

In keeping with many other automakers this week, German automaker Volkswagen is using the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada as a platform to demonstrate and display its latest advancements in autonomous driving, greener fuel and in-car technology.
And it's the first time the car maker — whose luxury brands include Porsche and Audi — has presented at the popular industry event.
Alongside the unveiling of a new in-car entertainment system which it says will work with Apple's CarPlay and Google's Android Auto systems, bridging the gap between infotainment and the mobile phone, Volkswagen says it will soon be bringing autonomous parking technology to its e-Golf electric car that will make it possible for the plug-in car to find an empty charging parking space and charge itself without human interaction.
But in order to make that a reality, Volkswagen says it's readying several other new technologies for production which will bring that vision to a reality.
First comes improved autonomous parking technology which builds on the current semi-autonomous reverse parking functionality available on current e-Golfs. Called Trained Parking, the system makes use of a camera mounted behind the rear-view mirror to recognise and take-over routinely-executed parking manoeuvres, such as pulling into a specific space at work or parking on the driveway at night.
At the moment, Volkswagen says the driver will be required to stay in their car while this manoeuvre is taking place, but it hopes the next-generation of the Trained Parking system will be able to interact with a tablet computer, smartphone or smart watch, enabling completely autonomous parking after the passengers have exited the vehicle.
The second piece of technology Volkswagen says is needed for full autonomous parking and charging is a wireless inductive charging system which will fit on the underside of its plug-in cars. Like other inductive charging systems we've seen int he past, the efficiency of the charging system itself depends on the physical separation between the inductive charging plate on the underside of the car and the inductive charging plate embedded in the floor of the parking space.
Autonomous parking, where a higher level of precision can be obtained than possible with a human driver, ensures perfect placement every time. To further boost efficiency, Volkswagen says its inductive charging prototypes feature a specialised plate on the floor of the parking space which lifts into place when the car is correctly positioned over it. This enables a minimal separation to exist between transmitting and receiving plate, increasing overall system efficiency to levels usually reserved for cabled charging.
Of the inductive charging — something Volkswagen calls "Intelligent Charge" — the automaker says that it hopes to introduce the feature as an alternative to conductive charging "over the mid-term."
Alongside what we think of as the highlights of Volkswagen's CES announcement comes the unveiling of its Golf R Touch: a high-end performance Golf R fitted with a concept cockpit that enhances the many buttons and gauges normally found in a car with cameras and sensors that are capable of gesture recognition.
If you think of Microsoft's popular Xbox One games console and its controversial Kinect, you'll get the idea: instead of having to reach over and touch specific controls, drivers might be able to access satellite navigation systems or interact with the car's climate control with a few gestures. Since those gestures could take place nearer the steering wheel, the driver spends less time with his or her hands off the wheel, making for a safer driving experience all round, posits Volkswagen.
For plug-in car drivers, Volkswagen says a new charging system — which flashes the car's exterior front LED daytime running lights to indicate the car's state of charge — will also make the vehicle far more convenient to use, while improved data connectivity makes it possible for drivers to locate charging stations and find out information on their availability and costing before arriving.
Finally, Volkswagen says it will shortly introduce smartphone and smart watch compatibility for its e-Golf, allowing customers to unlock or lock their cars from their smart devices in much the same way as Tesla Model S owners can leave their car keys at home and use their smartphone to activate their car instead.
Following in Tesla's footsteps, Volkswagen says its smart device apps will go one step further, allowing owners to 'grant' temporary 'Digital Key' access to other people, such as parking valets or mechanics, without requiring the owner to leave the physical key with them.
And while Volkswagen spent the majority of its CES presentation focused primarily on the use of its four key technology areas (smartphone integration; ease-of-use improvements; e-mobility packages and autonomous driving) in Volkswagen's own brand vehicles, a tongue-in-cheek video released by its luxury brand Audi demonstrates the potential of these four technologies for future VW-group vehicles.
As dog fans ourselves, we can't wait to teach our Border Collie to prove his smarts with automated parking.
What do you make of Volkswagen's suite of interconnected offerings and intelligent parking and charging capabilities? Would you trust your car to park and charge itself? Or do you worry that the system is simply too complicated to be as reliable as a plug and socket?

MADISON (WKOW) — As kids get ready to head back to school, many parents are having a hard time finding a life-saving drug to send them to school with. It's all due to a nationwide shortage on EpiPens that's hitting local pharmacies and families, hard.
Doctors say it's a shot that can save a life. The EpiPen is given to someone, perhaps even your child, if he or she is experiencing a serious allergic reaction.
"Most common ones are bee stings, seafood allergies, peanuts," said Alex Weisenberger, a pharmacy technician at Community Pharmacy in Madison.
Several kids suffer from such allergies and some schools require students who may need an EpiPen, to bring one to school. But this year, that may be hard to do.
Weisenberger had to turn several people away, knowing many families around Dane County are feeling the impact of an EpiPen shortage.
"We would love to see them fly off the shelves and we have a great deal of patients who are on this medication and would like to get this filled, but cannot because we don't have it," he explained.
He and other pharmacists around the country said the shortage is due to the main manufacturer of the drug, not being able to meet the high demand.
"They keep saying possibly the end of the month or the end of next month you'll be able to get some in," Weisenberger said.
For about the past eight months Weisenberger has tried ordering what he can of the drug, but he only ever receives two to three EpiPens every couple of months.
"We might get a couple in and they're gone within a week," he said.
It's not just Madison that's feeling the shortage. It's a nationwide shortage, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Across the state-lines, pharmacists in Rockford are having trouble keeping it in stock as well.
"It seems to be a little bit more exaggerated this year than previous years. It becomes stressful especially if you run out, because we want to make sure patients get one as soon as possible," said Tom Carey, director of pharmacy at Swedish American, as he spoke with our sister-station WREX-TV.
The main manufacturer for the name-brand EpiPen drug, Mylan, acknowledged the shortage in a statement on their website.
It reads in part, "Over the past few months, there has been intermittent supply of EpiPen at wholesalers and pharmacies. We are actively exploring several options with Pfizer that would help stabilize supply. We will continue to provide updates, including timing for resolution, as we receive them from Pfizer."
Although there's no timeline on when the company can meet the high demand, Weisenberger said he will continue doing inventory at his pharmacy, knowing he won't be counting any EpiPens.
"What surprises me most is that this drug is pretty much a life or death drug. It shouldn't ever go into shortages," Weisenberger added.
If you can't find any EpiPens at your local pharmacy, some pharmacists recommend you ask you doctor to prescribe you an epinephrine vial and you can make your own EpiPen with a syringe.
