£5.5m boost for free care of county's two-year-olds
8:00am Friday 20th December 2013 in News By Sophie Scott, Education Reporter, also covering East Oxford and Cowley. Call me on (01865) 425437
MORE two-year-olds will be entitled to free childcare as the Government dishes out more than £5.5m to Oxfordshire parents.
It will mean just under 2,000 two-year-olds in the county – 40 per cent – will be entitled to 15 hours of free childcare a week from next September.
Until now only parents of two-year-olds getting benefits because they are on a low income, or receiving certain benefits, qualified for the free childcare, but now the categories of those entitled to the child care funding have been extended.
The change is part of £755m of funding across the UK announced by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg yesterday and in total Oxfordshire will receive £5,652,580.
Currently, 1,160 two-year-olds are entitled to the scheme.
While the move has been welcomed by childcare providers and parents, there are concerns about whether all nurseries are suited to look after two-year-olds.
Mum Sarah Barrett was concerned parents who actually need free childcare would not be entitled under the scheme.
Ms Barrett, of Rose Hill, who has a three-year-old daughter Erin, said: "When my daughter was that age, I would have really needed that.
"My concern is about who gets the priority for this. Will it actually be the people who really need it? Those parents who have to work, like I did.
"If it is people who are at home and could look after their two-year-old then I don't really agree with that.
"But it is good that children will be educated from an earlier age."
Anna Thorne, manager of Donnington Doorstep Family Centre, in Townsend Square, Oxford, said: "This has been the plan for a while now.
"We do provide places for funded two-year-olds and we will develop the provision in order to be able to take more two-year-olds.
"It can be a really great thing, but there are issues around it. It is really important the provision is going to be homely, loving and caring, because they are two-year-olds and it can be very different.
"When you have working parents they will need childcare, but only so long as the provision that is taking the funded places is able to do so at a high enough standard.
"There needs to be plenty of staff that are suitably qualified as well as making sure there is lots of stimuli for the children.
"There is a concern that the local authority is cutting funding for Early Years support and without that it could make this job much harder."
Mr Clegg said: "Parents, local authorities, nurseries and childminders should take up the offer their children are entitled to, make sure places are available and expand local childcare provision.
"Every child deserves to have the best start in life, regardless of their background, financial situation or family set-up, and this funding will help even more children and families get on in life."

Why Can't We See the Ships on the Shore? Agile Teams Can, Can Yours?
On a warm August day in 1768, explorer James Cook set sail from England aboard his ship, The Endeavor. On board were 94 crewman and scientists, and their mission was to find the fabled 'Southern Continent.' Early map makers in 1570 claimed that there were two major continents at each of the earth's poles, and Cook was to discover this southern continent and claim it for England. Although Dutch explorers had unsuccessfully attempted to find this mass of land in the early 1700′s, Cook was certain that his attempt would result in landing on these undiscovered shores.
Cook and his crew arrived in Taihiti on April 11, 1769, but soon realized that this was not the undiscovered territory they sought, so they departed the island chain and headed southwest. After a brief stay on the islands of New Zealand, Cook again set sail in search of the great southern continent. Finally, on April 9th, 1770, a full two years after then left their home country, the crew of the Endeavor finally arrived at the continent we now refer to as Australia. Having already experienced the native populations on several other islands, Cook was well prepared for any possible contingency, from friendly natives offering gifts (such as his experience with the Sandwich Islands off of Alaska) to those natives intent on attacking his men (as he experienced when encountering Maori native tribes on New Zealand.) But this experience, this arrival to a new land, was different.
When Cook's ships anchored off-shore of this new land, it drew no reaction from the natives they could see working close to the shore. Cook knew that they must be able to see them, but still there was no reaction, no staring by the natives out to the sea with wonder, no anxious reactions; simply nothing. Studying more closely the accounts of James Cook and his botanist Joseph Banks, it is revealed that the natives must have been able to see them, as the ship sailed only a quarter mile off of their shores. Other villagers must have been able to see the ships, but they too ignored these foreigners. Cook wrote in his journal that "an old woman followed by three children came out of the woods…she turned her gaze toward our ships, but offered neither surprise nor concern." Then the Aborigines began to prepare dinner "to all appearance, totally unmoved by the sight of us, though we were less than a mile from their spot."
Cook and his crew was not only perplexed by this curious behavior, but were now determined to make contact with these natives. Cook writes "we set out from the ship intending to land at the place we saw these people…as soon as we approached in our small boats, from the rocks two men scrambled down to the shore, each armed with a lance, with an intent to attack us." For some unknown reason, these natives were unaffected and unaware of the large ship anchored just off the shore, but were hyper-aware of the smaller boats that were landing upon their shores.
After that initial contact with the native people of Australia, it was discovered that this population was simply not able to see these large ships, as they represented something completely unknown to them. As Cook explained, his ship represented "the largest artifact ever seen, or unseen as it were, on the east coast of Australia, an object so huge, so complex, and unfamiliar as to defy the native's understanding." Cook's ship was essentially unseen by the natives because they had no experience that such an object could exist. Once his crew transported to the shore in smaller boats, the vision of invaders arriving by small vessels being a familiar site, the natives responded by perceiving this arrival as a threat.
Or so the story goes. And although this story has been told many times, using different explorers and other details, all of which may or may not be factually true, the message behind the mythos is still pertinent: we tend to see what we expect to see and can easily become blind, or choose to ignore, that which exists outside of our experience. There are plenty of terms modern day psychologists give to this type of phenomenon including cognitive dissonance, perceptual blindness, habituation, inattentional blindness, etc.
So what does the story of natives not being able to see a ship off shore have to do with Agile teams?
Humans (and Agile teams by extension) naturally strive to reach consonance, or agreement and harmony, among the beliefs they hold to be true. Cognitive dissonance, or a disagreement or difference of beliefs, can occur when we try to hold two contradictory beliefs about something simultaneously. The natives believed that ships the size of Cook's did not exist, and thus resolved this major disagreement of what they saw with what they believed to be true, by simply 'not seeing' his ship when it was anchored off-shore. Although different today, it is still a common tendency to resolve this dissonance, or difference, through any number of means, including rationalization, justification, or dismissal of one of the beliefs. The most common method for resolving cognitive dissonance is to simply dismiss the lessor known of the two beliefs, that belief which we have less experience with, while also building positive evidence and confidence in the remaining idea or belief, which was the route the Aborigines took when presented with Cook's competing reality. We do this so that we don't have to experience the anxiety that comes from weighing two completing beliefs, especially when there is disparity in the amount experience or familiarity between them. In short, people and teams tend to continue doing what they know, even when presented with a better possibility. This behavioral pattern reduces stress, but it becomes an impediment to true growth, as the pattern regularly precludes exploring the unknown in deference to the known.
This principle was more recently put to the test in an experiment by Jack Brehm. Brehm took 225 female study participants, and allowed them to choose one of two items to take home as a gift. When asked later to rate the two items, a statistically significant portion of the participants rated the item that they selected much higher than the one that they didn't. This might sound intuitively accurate because the participants chose that item, but even when the experiment was conducted where participants were given an item at random, the participants still rated the item they took home higher than the one they did not. Brehm concluded that in this simple experiment, cognitive dissonance was resolved by changing opinions to match the possible dissonance of "I selected X" while also feeling that "there were some things I liked about Y." This phenomenon of relieving any dissonance in our beliefs was confirmed by additional research and experiments, and found it to be true for children, adults, and even capuchin monkeys. What have our efforts for resolving this cognitive dissonance problem resulted in?
We have been conditioned to become problem solving machines, while ignoring the possibility that introducing dissonance can lead to better outcomes.
Teams that have been conditioned to become proficient at problem solving tend to find themselves as habitual 'firefighters' constantly seeking out the next problem to resolve, the next fire to put out. Study after study has shown that this approach to work results in employee burn out, poor work product, and a feeling that instead of being able to design our destination, our efforts are determined by factors outside of our control. In today's corporate parlance, we become adept at a reactive form of decision making as opposed to being proactive, or creative, in our planned path forward. As skilled problem solvers, we carry around a huge problem solving hammer and then understandably see every situation as a nail. And when our hammer will not effectively 'resolve' the nail in front of us, we mistakenly believe that "what we need here is a bigger hammer." For those of you who can relate to this approach and may have been nodding your head, you know better than anyone that it becomes a self-perpetuating cycle where the bigger hammer always encounters a bigger nail, which then requires a bigger hammer, etc. When we perceive that problems being solved will result in a greater possibility for our efforts, for our product, or for our customer, we have bought into our own belief that fighting fires is the same as preventing them.
So are you saying that solving our problems is a bad thing?
No. Problems are identified as such because they introduce a cognitive dissonance that can assist our team. Letting a problem exist implies a simultaneous belief that "X is bad (a problem by definition)" and "X is ok to exist." This dissonance cannot remain, so we either resolve the problem, or modify how we identify the "problem." Problems do need to be resolved, but it is only half of the equation for great agile teams. The other half of the equation represents the positive side that cognitive dissonance can represent, but unfortunately is rarely explored by most teams today. So let's explore this other side…
What do you have when you are done resolving a problem?
Nothing. By definition, when a problem is resolved, it no longer exists, so nothing has been created apart from the removal of a problem. Again, this is half of the equation. But can anyone argue that removing a problem is the same as creating something? It is a subtle but fundamental difference that can make all the difference…possibly the difference between being good and being great. Interesting to note is that often times, our attempts to resolve a problem can actually make the problem worse. Don't believe me?
Let's take something we are all likely familiar with:
The problem: Ethiopia experiences famine, with a large part of its population facing starvation.
The solution: With its population starving, the obvious hammer for this nail is to provide food. And the world rallied around this solution, providing hundreds of millions of dollars of food and famine relief.
The results: The food did help, at least for awhile. Many people that would have starved without the aid, did not starve. But the aid only provided time, because the underlying structure of the problem did not change, it was only addressed superficially. But after the crisis was addressed, the plight of the Ethiopians fell off of the news cycle (as many of the Ethiopians had been helped by the massive amounts of aid), and as the news fell off, subsequently so did the donations. Problem solved, right? Wrong. The mechanics of the 'solution' did not look more deeply into the problem to see that simply taking care of a symptom would only exacerbate the problem. Solving the problem only relieved immediate needs, but did not seek to create a better possibility for the Ethiopian people, as they still could not provide food for themselves. And although initially helped by the donations, the people of Ethiopia had now become more dependent on this help, and fell into greater despair, requiring again for massive aid to be provided by the concerned citizens of the world.
Robert Fritz, author of the book Path of Least Resistance, refers to this pattern occurring like this:
The Problem
action to solve the problem
less intensity of the problem
less action to solve the problem
the problem remaining or intensifying anew
Simply put, solving the problem is akin to providing a fish to a starving man, whereas teaching him how to fish is creating a new possibility for his future. Problem-solving-persistent paradigms focus on the near term, providing a fish for tonight, but then once that man no longer has hunger pangs, this approach simply moves onto the next problem, only to have to return again in the future to provide another fish when the man is on the brink of death. Although we may be able to keep problems from becoming catastrophes, we do nothing to truly create a better possibility.
So tie this all together. What does this all mean and how can this help my team?
I mentioned above the possibility of actually introducing dissonance as a tool for creation. Not sure if any of you caught this, but this simple idea is the key to truly becoming great, as a team or even as an individual (although I am not advocating for individual greatness alone for Agile teams, as I will elucidate in my next post There is no "I" in Agile.) The introduction of dissonance exists as a possibility on the opposite end of the spectrum from solving problems. Rather than solely relieving tension between our problems and our current situation, we can introduce ideas and opportunities that exist between our current situation and a greater possibility. This is the holy grail for teams that strive for continuous and incremental improvement. Identifying issues that exist is a valuable skillset, but additionally identifying the dissonance between our current situation and our potential, provides the possibility for growth, improvement, and greatness. Simply put, we need to identify clearly articulated goals for our team and then recognize the dissonance between our current state and that which we wish to achieve. This is positive dissonance. This dissonance also encourages resolution, but in a positive direction, and encourages creation of something new, rather than simply a removal of problems. Two parts of the equation, each necessary, but only addressing one of them will never lead a team to greatness. And the identification of areas of opportunity is an acquired skill, as it can take time to truly focus on the bird in the bush as part of our overall strategy. We must also practice not getting stuck in the rut of tunnel vision or 'group think' and elicit input from every source available to our team.
If we only ask the flashlight where the dark areas of the room are, we may be missing some valuable information.
We must use our peripheral vision to see those things that we might otherwise miss, such as those that are not currently getting our full attention. And what typically gets our full attention are the fires we are being asked to put out. Ask a flashlight where the dark areas of the room are, and the answer you will likely get is that the room is fully lit. But of course, everywhere the flashlight points will receive light, while keeping the other areas shrouded in darkness. Our attention is like a flashlight, and we can often miss those areas that represent opportunities or issues where our light is not focused. And this is one beautiful aspect of Agile, as Agile acts as a very bright spotlight, showing the room as it is. But it will only show you the things that you choose to look at, you must choose the direction in which to point your light, your focus, your attention.
In conclusion…we are either running from something or to something. Running from a lion will keep us alive today, but will not necessarily provide shelter for tomorrow and beyond. We must, as a team, strive to address our immediate, everyday problems for survival, but for long-term growth we must also apply our energy and attention to seeking out shelter as well.
I know this post was somewhat abstract, steeped in a some psychology, and I would guess that most of the people that started to read this post will have likely not even made to this sentence. But for those troopers that made it this far, congratulations. Your reward…my next post will be shorter and perhaps be a bit more fun. Thanks for reading, I appreciate all of the amazing feedback I have received since launch this blog. It keeps me going, so thank you again.

A new poll from Quinnipiac University finds that most voters in Connecticut support the death penalty – and even more would like to see the minimum wage raised.
Voters support capital punishment 62-30, but people are split on the preferred punishment for murderers. Half prefer the death penalty while half prefer life in prison. The majority think the recent decision to get rid of the death penalty in Connecticut is a "bad idea."
"The death penalty is a complex issue for voters, and for pollsters," said Quinnipiac University Poll Director Douglas Schwartz, PhD, in a press release. "Connecticut voters want to keep the death penalty, perhaps as an option for the most heinous crimes, such as the Cheshire murders."
"While they want to keep the death penalty on the books, voters are divided on whether they prefer to sentence convicted murderers to death or life without parole. In fact, 74 percent say a life or death sentence depends on the circumstances of the case," Schwartz added.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's office issued a statement in response to the poll.
"We have tried to be consistent in not saying much about polls because...what's there to say?" said Roy Occhiogrosso, senior advisor to the governor. "Polls come and go, numbers go up and down. The Governor always does what he thinks is best for the state and the right thing to do."
Minimum Wage
The poll finds that the overwhelming majority support raising Connecticut's $8.25 minimum wage – even though most believe it will cause small business owners to hire fewer people.
Overall, there was 70-28 support of boosting the wage. Democrats support it 88-10, while Republicans are opposed 48-50. Independents fall in the middle, with 69-28 supporting the idea.
"Every group, except Republicans, supports increasing Connecticut's minimum wage. Although all income groups support a higher minimum wage, support declines with income," said Schwartz.
Fifty percent of the people polled think small businesses will employ fewer people if the minimum wage is increased. Forty-five percent think otherwise.
Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,745 registered voters with a margin of error of 2.4 percentage points from April 18-23.

Superannuation Fact Sheets
A self managed superannuation fund is a do-it-yourself superannuation fund of 1-4 members where each member acts as a trustee of the fund. So all members must be the trustees, and all trustees must be the members - they are one and the same. Single member funds nevertheless need 2 individuals as trustees or a single company as corporate trustee.
Remember that these funds require annual lodgement of tax and regulatory returns to the Tax Office, so ensure your accountant explains the potential ongoing fees before you commit to one. As well, you must be able to establish a balanced and diversified portfolio of investments that satisfy the "sole purpose test", though of course you are free to (and should) get professional advice.
Pros and cons
Self-management is not always the best way to go when it comes to choosing a superannuation fund, but if you want to be in charge and have the means and know-how to achieve it, a self managed superannuation fund may be an attractive proposition. It gives you maximum control over:
- how your funds are invested;
- how you structure your retirement and death benefits; and
- the type of trustee i.e. whether the fund has a human (you) trustee or a corporate trustee.
The fund trustees
The trustee of a self managed superannuation fund has powers including:
- the appointment of professional advisers;
- establishing the investment strategy;
- making investments;
- allowing members into the fund;
- approval of payment to members.
The rule of trusteeship for self managed superannuation funds is that all members must be the trustee, and all trustees must be the members. But it is also possible to register a company to act as trustee for the fund. The same rule applies, but this time in the corporate sense. Therefore if you have a corporate trustee:
- all the members must be directors of the company that is the trustee; and
- only the members can be directors of company that is the trustee.
Some of the advantages of a corporate trustee are:
- in a single member self managed superannuation fund, if there is no suitable person to act as the other individual trustee, you can use a corporate trustee – you must be the sole director of the company;
- similarly you may not wish to share the role of trustee. This cannot be achieved if there are individual human trustees (because there must be two for a sole member self managed superannuation fund), but you can be the sole director of a corporate trustee;
- it may allow an easier passage of multi-generational members in and out of the fund. However there would have to be sufficient account balances to pay retirement and death benefits when needed. If this has some appeal for you, ask your accountant if there would be value or administrative efficiencies in a corporate trustee where the trustee remains the same and only the underlying directors need change;
- it may offer a degree of asset protection. Expert opinion differs about this, but depending on your situation, it's certainly worth a discussion with your accountant.
However, a corporate trustees requires the expense of a company incorporation, and the expertise to run it. Some accountants disagree with this assessment and highlight the fact that after establishment a corporate trustee will last into perpetuity, and that Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) ongoing fees can be "discounted" if the corporate trustee only operates to run the fund and for no other purpose.
Whatever the pros and cons, this is not a step to take without adequate professional advice from your accountant and/or financial adviser. They will be able to arrange the paperwork.

text: River Shipping On Mississippi Remains At Risk New data suggests 7.2 million tons of commodities are at risk after drought drives water levels down Published on: Jan 3, 2013 Due to historic low water levels on the Mississippi River as a result of the continuing drought, waterways groups continue to warn that a closure in January could severely affect the supply chain. The American Waterways Operators and Waterways Council, Inc. on Wednesday released revised data on the costs of a potential shutdown, noting that if the river levels continue to drop between Jan. 7 and 31, the potential supply-chain disruption could affect more than 8,000 jobs, $54 million in wages and benefits, as well as 7.2 million tons of commodities valued at $2.8 billion. AWO and WCI note that the figures do not take into account supply chain uncertainty during December or any potential economic impacts that will extend into February if traffic on the Mississippi comes to a halt.Shipping on the Mississippi remains at risk due to low water levels. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' latest weather and water forecast for the Mississippi River near Thebes, Ill., south of St. Louis, where rock pinnacle removal work is taking place, suggests that commerce on the Mississippi River could come to a halt between Jan. 5 and 15 when the required 9-foot draft will fall to an 8-foot draft. The majority of towboats require a 9-foot draft to operate and only a very small number of towing vessels can operate at 8- or 7-foot drafts. Stakeholders continue to urge the Administration to release water from Missouri River reservoirs to avert this shutdown of the Mississippi River to barge transportation. While the Corps and the U.S. Coast Guard have said that they will not officially close the river, falling water levels and a lack of sustained water will hinder towboat navigation between St. Louis and Cairo, Ill. "The uncertainty of this deteriorating situation for the nation's shippers is having as much of an impact as the lack of water itself," said Michael J. Toohey, WCI's president and CEO. "The Administration must direct the Corps to release enough water to sustain navigation on the Mississippi River now or time will have run out and an effective shutdown could remain in place for weeks," he continued. The Army Corps of Engineers continues to dredge and work to remove rock pinnacles to ease navigation, but Tom Allegretti, AWO's president and CEO, says halting waterborne commerce and exports during the busiest period for agriculture shipping will have impacts on the entire nation. "As these new economic numbers clearly indicate, our nation's shippers, farmers, manufacturers, operators, and consumers, and working Americans with jobs now at risk, will be hard hit in the first month of the New Year unless water is provided now to avert a shutdown," Allegretti said.

In "Los Angeles Against the Mountains," a 1988 installment in the New Yorker series "The Control of Nature," which was later published as a book, John McPhee described how Southern California's dry chaparral produces devastating fires.
Evergreen oaks were fingering up the creases in the mountainsides, pointing toward the ridgeline forests of bigcone Douglas fir, of knobcone and Coulter pine. The forests had an odd sort of timberline. They went down to it rather than up. Down from the ridges the conifers descended through nine thousand, seven thousand, six thousand feet, stopping roughly at five. The forests abruptly ended—the country below being too dry in summer to sustain tall trees. On down the slopes and all the way to the canyons was a thicket of varied shrubs that changed in character as altitude fell but was everywhere dense enough to stop an army. On its lower levels, it was all green, white, and yellow with buckwheat, burroweed, lotus and sage, deerweed, bindweed, yerba santa. There were wild morning glories, Canterbury bells, tree tobacco, miner's lettuce. The thicket's resistance to trespass, while everywhere formidable, stiffened considerably as it evolved upward. There were intertwining mixtures of manzanita, California lilac, scrub oak, chamise. There was buckthorn. There was mountain mahogany. Generally evergreen, the dark slopes were splashed here and there with dodder, its mustard color deepening to rust. Blossoms of the Spanish bayonet stood up like yellow flames. There were lemonade berries (relatives of poison ivy and poison oak). In canyons, there were alders, big-leaf-maple bushes, pug sycamores, and California bay. Whatever and wherever they were, these plants were prickly, thick, and dry, and a good deal tougher than tundra. Those evergreen oaks fingering up the creases in the mountains were known to the Spaniards as chaparros. Riders who worked in the related landscape wore leather overalls open at the back, and called them chaparajos. By extension, this all but impenetrable brush was known as chaparral.
The low stuff, at the buckwheat level, is often called soft chaparral. Up in the tough chamise, closer to the lofty timber, is high chaparral, which is also called hard chaparral. High or low—hard, soft, or mixed—all chaparral has in common an always developing, relentlessly intensifying, vital necessity to burst into flame. In a sense, chaparral consumes fire no less than fire consumes chaparral. Fire nourishes and rejuvenates the plants. There are seeds that fall into the soil, stay there indefinitely, and will not germinate except in the aftermath of fire. There are basal buds that sprout only after fire. Droughts are so long, rains so brief, that dead bits of wood and leaves scarcely decay. Instead, they accumulate, thicken, until the plant community is all but strangling in its own duff. The nutrients in the dead material are being withheld from the soil. When fire comes, it puts the nutrients back in the ground. It clears the terrain for fresh growth. When chaparral has not been burned for thirty years, about half the thicket will be dry dead stuff—twenty-five thousand tons of it in one square mile. The living plants are no less flammable. The chamise, the manzanita—in fact, most chaparral plants—are full of solvent extractives that burn intensely and ignite easily. Their leaves are glossy with oils and resins that seal in moisture during hot dry periods and serve the dual purpose of responding explosively to flame. In the long dry season, and particularly in the fall, air flows southwest toward Los Angeles from the Colorado Plateau and the Basin and Range. Extremely low in moisture, it comes out of the canyon lands and crosses the Mojave Desert. As it drops in altitude, it compresses, becoming even dryer and hotter. It advances in gusts. This is the wind that is sometimes called the foehn. The fire wind. The devil wind. In Los Angeles, it is known as Santa Ana. When chamise and other chaparral plants sense the presence of Santa Ana winds, their level of moisture drops, and they become even more flammable than they were before. The Santa Anas bring what has been described as "instant critical fire weather." Temperatures rise above a hundred degrees. Humidity drops very close to zero. According to Charles Colver, of the United States Forest Service, "moisture evaporates off your eyeballs so fast you have to keep blinking."
Ignitions are for the most part caused by people—through accident or arson. Ten per cent are lightning. Where the Santa Anas collide with local mountain winds, they become so erratic that they can scatter a fire in big flying brands for a long distance in any direction. The frequency and the intensity of the forest fires in the Southern California chaparral are the greatest in the United States, with the possible exception of the wildfires of the New Jersey Pine Barrens. The chaparral fires are considerably more potent than the forest fires Wade Wells saw when he was an undergraduate at the University of Idaho or when he worked as a firefighter in the Pacific Northwest. "Fires in the Pacific Northwest are nothing compared with these chaparral fires," he remarked. "Chaparral fires are almost vicious by comparison. They're so intense. Chaparral is one of the most flammable vegetation complexes there are."
It burns as if it were soaked with gasoline. Chaparral plants typically have multiple stems emerging from a single root crown, and this contributes not only to the density of the thickets but, ultimately, to the surface area of combustible material that stands prepared for flame. Hundreds of acres can be burned clean in minutes. In thick black smoke there is wild orange flame, rising through the canyons like explosion crowns. The canyons serve as chimneys, and in minutes whole mountains are aflame, resembling volcanoes, emitting high columns of fire and smoke. The smoke can rise twenty thousand feet. A force of two thousand people may fight the fire, plus dozens of machines, including squadrons in the air. But Santa Ana firestorms are so violent that they are really beyond all effort at control. From the edge of the city upward, sixteen miles of mountain front have burned to the ridgeline in a single day.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great Save the Date
Watercolor Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets I was really happy with my Watercolor Mason Jar Save the Date magnets that I ordered through Magnet Street. They looked just as they were pictured and I was happy that I could change the color pallet and wording without any trouble. I was also able to order matching return address labels and seals to close the envelopes. They arrived very quickly, which was good for me and my fiance, because we needed them by the upcoming weekend so we could address them and send them out. I am definitely planning on getting my invites through Magnet Street, as well.
Beautiful Save the Dates
Watercolor Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets I received my order very fast and in pristine condition. The save the dates are absolute beautiful. Can't wait to place another order.
Just want I wanted
Watercolor Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets I was iffy about getting magnets and we were sending out save the dates before our engagement photos were done so I wanted something with a cute design but not really formal. The color personalization was way more open than I expected so I got the colors that I wanted. They were very sturdy and looked beautiful, did not peel at the corners like some printed magnets do. I'm so glad they came with envelopes as well.
Great Experience
Watercolor Mason Jar Save the Date Magnets I am highly impressed by the experience with magnetstreet.com! The production time was a little long in my opinion for only 75 small magnets but I am extremely pleased with the finished product. Especially with the packaging. My order arrived in a beautiful keepsake box, which I will utilize with other wedding stuff, and included a staitonary look book. The look book was great to help with chosing fonts and paper products. I would absolutely use magnetstreet.com again and reccomend friends and family do that same.
Country Loving
Watercolor Mason Jar Rectangle Invitations I am using a country theme to my wedding and the watercolor mason jar invites were just what I needed. I enjoyed getting to personalize it and all my family and friend stated how unique it was. I would only have allowed for a little more variety in the color selection areas, but otherwise I am 100% satisfied. My guests love them and so do I!

STAYNER - Five games remain in the Georgian Bay Mid Ontario Junior C Hockey League with the Alliston Hornets perched securely in first place.
The remaining eight teams are challenging each other, which includes Stayner who is in a dogfight with Midland for the second best record. Alliston does need to be wary and not get too cocky. Upsets do happen. Evident by Erin nipping the Hornets Friday night, 4-3. That was one game though and it is doubtful any team in this league will beat them four times in a playoff.
Alliston's record is 29-2-1-1. They have the league's top two scoring leaders and best goaltending. Mike Campeau leads the league with 30 goals, 45 assists and 75 points with Randy Cox, 26 goals, 40 assists and 66 points next.
Hornets' netminder Tyler Brindle boasts an anemic 1.77 goals against average. Stayner currently has the second best record, 23-10-0-2, followed by Midland 22-12-0.
Stayner supporters argue that they are in the toughest division having to face Alliston more often than other teams. Maybe so, but what does it really matter. Winning is what competition is about. Stayner actually fared quite well over the Christmas holidays. From Dec 17 to Jan. 5, the Siskins won five of seven. Alliston beat them on Dec. 20 8-3 and they didn't lose again until Jan. 3 when Fergus, the league's second worst team, upset them 4-3 in a shootout. A shootout loss actually gives you one point in the standings for losing. Stayner beat Schomberg 7-2, Caledon 6-4, Midland 10-4, Huntsville 5-1, and Erin 9-3 on Jan. 5.
This coming Friday, Stayner will find out if it really has a legitimate chance of beating Alliston, as the two teams tangle there in Stayner's fifth last game of the season. On Sunday, Schomberg is in town to take on the Siskins.
By the way, Stayner's top scorer, Justin Reid, is fifth in the league in scoring with 18 goals and 30 assists. James Mense Dietrich is not far back with 22 goals, 15 assists and 3 points in 23 games. Siskins' netminder Taylor Trace has the second best goals against average, 2.78.

After reading the comments on it being a bit dry, bland and hard to toss, I changed a couple of things. Fried a small onion in a pan, then added the capers and some creme fraiche and heated it all up before tossing with the pasta and broccoli. Used the lemon juice and olives in the salad I served it with. Very easy, quick and satisfying.

Did you know you own a "Crystal Ball"? Well, you do. "What?" you say. I'm not a Fortune Teller. I have no "Crystal Ball".
Our Crystal Ball is our Genealogy research that we have been working on...some for many years...some for a few years. Genealogy research lets us look into the future of our ancestor's life. That's pretty much like having a Crystal Ball to see the future of our ancestor.
Why it is so important to transcribe those handwritten family diaries, journals, historical documents into a readable form
I recently transcribed an 1883 diary for a client. The author wrote about the husband's efforts to locate another house to rent. She described the daily routine of moving to another house, preparing the house to be lived in, she noted the relatives that came to help sew the carpets", "make new shades for the rollers", "wash the mantel and globes in the front parlor".
Noticing the change of an address in the 10 year Federal Census record gave a clue the family had moved, but the 1883 diary gives us the exact day and time period when the move to the new address occured. Through the diary, in this case, we have detailed information of the event. It makes a connection of what we know now to what the historical document lets us know happened back then to cause a certain event in the lives of our ancestors. We can call it a "Back to the Future" method of genealogy research.
We find in our Genealogy research the mention of a new child in the family. Census reports won't give us the time or the conditions under which the baby was born. In this case the diary did just that with daily entries.
Health issues were mentione after the birth, finding a girl to hire and help out with children and housework, checking Castle Gardens each day to find a girl arriving from, in this case, Sweden who needed work.
Yes, we could find in our research there had been a new baby born to the family, but we would not have known "everyone thinks she is the prettiest of all my children" and "I must teach her not to be vain". Those are the details we need to know in order to understand and know our ancestors. They were so much more than names and dates.
If we read carefully the writings of the diary's author, we may find other information that gives us clues as to why things happened as they did.
For example, in this transcription project of the 1883 diary, the author carefully notes in her daily entries - "Ike came home from work with a headache and he was tired"...or "he couldn't sleep well last night because of a headache". By noting the unusual number of times the husband had a headache, was tired or didn't feel well, we begin to think perhaps he was ill. When a Death Certificate is located indicating he died in 1886 just 3 years later, you realize these could have been some of the first warnings to his condition.
Have you read the diary or journal left by your ancestor to find clues to why events happened? Reading someone's handwriting is difficult. Especially from another time period. Writing styles change, words become obsolete. We know there are changes in a person's handwriting even on one written page.
It isn't an easy task to transcribe the written word of our ancestor, but it is certainly worth the committment to do it ourselves or hire a professional to do it for us.
We do have a Crystal Ball to see into the future of our ancestors. With their old diaries, journals, documents, and the wonderful records and documents we have access to, WE can piece together what we now know was THEIR future.
If your ancestor left you a diary, journal or document, either transcribe it yourself or hire a professional to do the task. Get committed to the project. Then, share copies of that transcription with your siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles. It is so rewarding.
Once the document is transcribed into an easier format to read, sharing with others outside your family is always so appreciated. Placing copies in the local library or museum where your ancestor lived is such a good idea and can be helpful to other Genealogists, especially if THEIR ancestor is named in the document. You know...the one they are sure lived in the same town as your ancestor, but can't find a bit of information about them...except in YOUR ancestor's diary.

Fargo surgeon begins trail for drugging and sexual assaultFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - The first day of arguments kicks off during the trial of a Fargo surgeon, accused of drugging and sexually assaulting his wife.
By: Kay Cooley, WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - The first day of arguments kicks off during the trial of a Fargo surgeon, accused of drugging and sexually assaulting his wife.
Prosecutors say Dr. Jon Norberg "defied dangerous risks" by giving her the powerful sedative propofol repeatedly over the span of 18-months.
Dr. Jon Norberg, charged with gross sexual imposition and reckless endangerment, made his way into Cass County's courtroom for day one of testimony.
Reid Brady, Asst Cass Co. States Attorney: "At the end of this case you will know that the defendant defied dangerous risks by unsafely using propofol on his wife. You will know that he obsessed with sex so much that he perpetrated sex acts on her when he knew she was unaware."
Prosecutors say Norberg used propofol, the same drug that killed Michael Jackson, on his wife Alonna, about 30 times over 18 months, sometimes raping her while she was sedated.
Dr. Steven Shafer, Propofol Expert: "Dr. Norberg in his own statement said engaged in intercourse during the administration of sedation, and I do not understand how one can be vigilant as a physician looking after a patient while at the same time engaging in sexual intercourse."
But Norberg maintains his innocence. His attorney says his wife's assault allegations stem from a drug dependency and the couple's ongoing and bitter divorce battle, where she is trying to get the upper hand.
Robert Hoy, Defense Attorney: "By turning the tables on him, she could find a way to make Jon Norberg look worse than she looks."
Hoy says Norberg admits to giving her the drug, but says it was her that asked for it, claiming she wanted relief from pain caused by an auto immune disorder.
Hoy: "They made a conscious medical decision that the possible benefits of using it in small doses would outweigh the risks."
The trial is expected to last until Thanksgiving, ultimately going to the jury to decide if this rape is really an ugly divorce tactic taken too far.
Dr. Shafer also testified in Michael Jackson's trial. If the jury finds him guilty of gross sexual imposition, Norberg faces up to life in prison.

Celebrity Cuts: Short vs. Long1 of 18
By Abby Gardner
Whoa, Hayden Panettiere! We did a double take when we saw the Heroes star's new cropped style. Click through to see some other stars who've cut it all off and debate whether it looks better or not.
Hayden Panettiere: Long2 of 18
Well, the new cut certainly makes Hayden look more grown-up than this long, flowy style does. We like that she's taking chances, especially at her age. After all, there are always extensions.
RELATED ON WONDERWALL: More Pics of Hayden
NEXT: Renee Zellweger
Renee Zellweger: Long3 of 18
Renee's always had an easy-going approach to her hair, leaving it long and loose. But just wait until you see what it looks like now, after she made some major moves at the salon.
NEXT: Renee's Short 'Do
Renee Zellweger: Short4 of 18
The Oscar winner stepped out a few months ago with a modern (and feminized) variation on the bowl cut. Believe it or not, this is actually a trend in the high fashion world. Wonder what Bradley Cooper thinks about the lack of locks to run his handsome hands through?
NEXT: Halle Berry
Halle Berry: Long5 of 18
We're fairly certain that there isn't a style in existence that Halle wouldn't look gorgeous sporting, and we actually had forgotten how great that length looked. Lucky girl.
NEXT: Halle's Short 'Do
Halle Berry: Short6 of 18
However, we think we might just like this edgy cut better. She looks ridiculously cool, and her morning routine has got to be pretty minimal. Plus, it highlights that amazing face.
NEXT: Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow: Long7 of 18
Gwynnie's golden mane was sleek and impressive at the Iron Man 2 premiere. But we fondly remember a time when she made short hair every wannabe It Girl's preference.
NEXT: Gwyneth's Short 'Do
Gwyneth Paltrow: Short8 of 18
While we might not be able to pull this off, there's no arguing that this style is adorable. We love the bobby pin holding back her bangs. We imagine then-boyfriend, Brad Pitt, found her irresistible.
NEXT: Hilary Swank
Hilary Swank: Long9 of 18
Hilary's gone back and forth with her hair length more than any of her Hollywood counterparts — though it seems to usually be for a role.
RELATED ON WONDERWALL: More Pics of Hilary
NEXT: Hilary's Short 'Do
Hilary Swank: Short10 of 18
This blonde cut highlights Hilary's super-strong jawline. Discuss amongst yourselves if this is a positive or a negative.
NEXT: Abbie Cornish
Abbie Cornish: Long11 of 18
The Aussie actress's work was somewhat overshadowed by the fact that she started dating Ryan Phillippe after his breakup with Reese. Her beautiful hair, however, was not. And then ...
NEXT: Abbie's Short 'Do
Abbie Cornish: Short12 of 18
She and Ryan broke up, and she chopped it all off. We love a good breakup makeover, especially when it looks this chic. Well done, Abs.
NEXT: Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman: Long13 of 18
We can't think of a more perfectly pretty celebrity than Natalie Portman. She'd probably even look good with a shaved head. Oh, wait, she actually did ...
NEXT: Natalie's Short 'Do
Natalie Portman: Short14 of 18
Sure, it was for V for Vendetta, but even a beautiful movie star has to feel scared about a buzz cut. Natalie sure didn't let it show and rocked every red carpet looking, in the words of Tyra Banks, "Fierce!"
NEXT: Ginnifer Goodwin
Ginnifer Goodwin: Long15 of 18
Most of us got to know Ginnifer via her role as the wholesome third wife on Big Love and this long hair certainly fits that fresh-faced image. But, apparently, she wanted to shake things up.
NEXT: Ginnifer's Short 'Do
Ginnifer Goodwin - Short16 of 18
Oh, how we love a great pixie cut like this one. And, with the snip of her hairstylist's scissors, one of the year's big hair trends was born.
NEXT: Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts: Long17 of 18
When we think of Julia Roberts, a few things come to mind: that laugh, that smile and that hair. We fell in love with those locks way back during her Mystic Pizza days — which made it so shocking when she went seriously short.
NEXT: Julia's Short 'Do
Julia Roberts: Short18 of 18
Remember this look from 1990? Of course, the style is dated now, but we can still remember thinking she must be nuts to cut perhaps the most coveted head of hair in America.

Transform Your Information
At The Neat Company, we believe you shouldn't have to work to use your information. That's why we've developed a system of intelligent solutions that transform information into something that works for you.
Whether it's medical bills or small business expenses, business cards or financial documents, even your collection of newspaper clippings, we free the information that's trapped on paper—so you can secure it, organize it, and use it.

We think of it as the digital filing cabinet. You can save, track and manage your information without the paper.
Our Story
The Neat Company (formerly NeatReceipts) was born from a single idea: that there's a better way to deal with receipts for expense reports. Over time, the idea has grown and changed into something much more powerful: a way to transform and manage any kind of paper, with live data you can use.
Since 2002, NeatReceipts has been synonymous with digitizing and organizing receipts. And over the past five years, we've listened to what our customers want and spent a lot of time developing new capabilities and new ways of doing things. We've added business card scanning, document scanning, integrated our scanning technology into other applications and even developed software for the Mac platform built from the ground up. We have completely remade our product line, adding new hardware and new software built to deliver the more than just receipt scanning: we're building an organized, digital life. And with every scan, we transform static paper into actionable, usable information.
As of October 1, 2008, the company known as NeatReceipts became known as The Neat Company.
The Neat Company is creating a new way for businesses and consumers at home to capture, store, and use the information they need. Our promise is simple: we want to help our customers organize their paper and simplify their lives.
