SAINT-LOUIS-DE-BLANDFORD, Que. - The Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup producers is in a sticky situation.
The group said Thursday it discovered that thieves stole a "large amount" of syrup from a warehouse north of Montreal, which stored 10 million pounds of Quebec's maple gold worth some $30 million.
Provincial police and the federation won't say exactly how much was stolen.
Anne-Marie Granger-Godbout, executive director at the federation, said the syrup is insured and that none of the organization's 10,000 producers will lose money due to the theft.
Quebec produces up to 80% of the world's maple syrup every year, and the province's syrup producers federation has managed the world's strategic reserves for the past 12 years.
Before the heist, the federation said it held 37 million pounds of maple syrup in reserve, equalling about 40% of the annual Quebec maple harvest.
The president of the federation, Serge Beaulieu, said in a news release that the province's harvest is spread out in different locations around the province as a precaution against theft.
The warehouse that was targeted in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, about 160 km northeast of Montreal, contained 16,000 45-gallon barrels of syrup.
The facility was allegedly guarded around the clock. The warehouse belongs to a man who lives in Victoriaville, Que., which is next to Saint-Louis-de-Blandford. He refused to speak to QMI Agency.

Silent during the war????? Everyone was Silent during the entire Balkan Campaign Starting in Bosnia. No one questioned the massacres that were "reported", and there were no major reports of the lack of actual bodies supposedly being massacred.
No one has questioned the disparity between what the Clinton Administration and NATO claimed concerning Kosovo and what was actually found.
In addition, not only has all political parties remained silent about Kosovo they are hiding it to date in order not to upset the Independence effort and not to cast a shadow on the Clinton Administration's fabrications and deception. Some say it was a mistake. It was not a mistake, it was planned and executed on purpose. A black mark in our policy that may never be revealed.
Yes, the liberals are protesting Iraq and still trying to hide Kosovo.......go figure.

Leicester City have announced that Jamie Vardy has agreed a new four-year contract at the King Power Stadium.
After helping the Foxes to the Premier League title, Vardy's release clause was activated by Arsenal and the England international held talks with the Gunners over a £20m move to North London.
However, after failing to give Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger an answer before leaving for Euro 2016, reports soon emerged that the 29-year-old was leaning towards remaining at Leicester and the club have now confirmed that an agreement is in place.
A statement read: "Leicester City have today (Thursday) agreed with the representatives of Jamie Vardy to extend the England international's contract with the Premier League champions for a further four years.
"Both parties hope that this announcement will end recent speculation regarding Jamie's future and confirm his long term commitment to Leicester City Football Club.
"Jamie will continue to focus all of his efforts on trying to achieve success with the England team at the European Championships in France.
"There will be no further comment from either the Club or the player on this matter until the conclusion of the tournament."
Vardy has been with Leicester since signing from Fleetwood Town in 2012 and his new contract will keep him at the Foxes until 2020.

I was in the fifth grade when the notion that I might have been born a writer first possessed me. Our teacher, Ms. Monges, had given us a visual prompt – a dull, uninspiring painting of an elderly couple seated at a park bench – and an assignment: to craft a paragraph of background story.
I handed in ten pages.
From that moment on, the awful Truth that I was unequivocally screwed for the rest of my life has severely haunted the back of my throat and messed with my sleeping schedule. As time began putting things into place, and a passion for writing evolved into a hunger for filmmaking, one thing became absolutely clear: Nothing else would do.
I once asked a tobacco farmer, who had come from a long line of tobacco farmers, why on earth he wanted to be one, too. Tobacco, after all, is a moody weed, as I'd come to understand.
"It's actually the simplest thing in the world," he said to me. "My papaw was a tobacco man and my father worked these fields, too. This farm's been in my family for generations. Some people have the stones to question a legacy like that but I never did. The thought of doing something else never even crossed my mind."
Nothing else would do for him, either, it seemed. And why would it? He had legacy.
Artistry isn't necessarily a discipline associated with my family but I understood what he felt as a calling of some kind and one that couldn't be ignored no matter how strong the impulse to do so might get. I feel something call to me, too. I traded three years of my life after high-school for so much as a whiff of experience or a whisper of direction, chasing a desperate desire to be a part of it all, whatever it meant.
I've ghostwritten thesis films for graduate students with a bad case of the heebie-jeebies and writer's block. I've directed short films in my home country of Paraguay. I've hustled, fluffed, lied, conned, charmed and weaseled my way to pretty much every position up-and-down the call-sheet, including an internship at a successful (and fiercely independent) Brooklyn-based production company.
In fact, it was on a production of theirs, a demented little werewolf picture you might still be able to find on Netflix under Late Phases, that I really came to realize how high my commitment to being Part Of It All had mushroomed.
A director I'd later produce for handed me a glass of bourbon after my first day on a professional feature set and said: "Being a filmmaker is a like being a carnie. You travel around some with complete strangers, prop up a colourful tent in the middle of nowhere, do a big song and dance number, pack up, go to the next town, repeat. And after you're done, everyone gets to go home. Sometimes, you might work with the same people again. Chances are you're never going to see any of them after the film is done. That's the nature of this racket of ours. If you can stomach that kind of lifestyle – and it is a lifestyle – then you'll be alright. You might not be right for society but you'll be right for the movies."
The impulsive camaraderie, the virtuous delinquency, that narcotic allure of creation and inspiration – they all assured me I could make a home in that vagrant world. It would be a mad scene, full of paralyzing counter-intuitiveness, humble personal victories invisible to everyone else, and crippling loneliness. But if I could somehow maintain, I'd live to see a day where Process and Reward, dressed as each other, take me out dancing with my Ambitions.
I drank what he offered and asked, "What do we start with tomorrow?"
Damn. Seven-hundred words and counting. It seems I've overextended myself again. I'm starting to understand all that talk about heebie-jeebies a little better. I wonder what Ms. Monges would make of all this…
"Overpromise and Overdeliver" – I think it might have been a gaffer that told me that. Who can really be sure anymore? On-set memories have a way of escaping one's brain after a while, giving way to wild rumour, misremembrance, and embellishment; social currencies that turn the big wheels, so to speak.
In an industry peopled by degenerates whose sole purpose in life is to shape stories, you learn very quickly to trust the tale, not the teller.

Hello, all Staniel Cay, Exumas and Out Island lovers: Please help us (wife, 14 year old daughter and I) finalize our plans for the end of this year in the Out Islands. We arrive in Nassau from NYC - Christmas Day afternoon. It seems that (understandably) the Out Islands are closed for local travel that day. We need a place to stay (+-$200) for the evening and then plan to catch a flight to SC the following morning (Flamingo Air - although my wife will need drugs to handle the small plane). We stay at SCYC until the 29th and hope to travel to another nearby island. We are trying to figure out where to go from SC and how to get there (for something less than an arm and a leg). We are hoping for something with similar natural beauty - long white, turquoise-water beaches - but a small step up in activity (no cruise ships or tourist shopping, please). Eleuthera looks beautiful and sounds great but challenging to get to. We hope to stay somewhere through the New Year weekend (<$500/night). We know it is late in the process to be planning but hope to be diligent, maybe catch a cancellation, find a compromise place or pay more than we'd like. No interest in a high end spa or AI. To those who have spent time in and know this part of the world (our first trip), your input would be invaluable to us and very appreciated. Thank you, in advance!!

You have to go back thru Nassau to combine out islands (and maybe with overnight)
SCYC is awesome! Worth the small plane ride, which rides low so doesn't seem that bad)
Christmas you're going to be hard pressed for anything that might with just 1 night and at the budget. Almost everything is going to be sold out, 3-4 times more,
How long do you plan to vacation? Kinda hard to combine out islands without chartering your own flight
Report Abuse
blamona: Thank you very much for your response and input. Based on what you said I made a reservation at Melia Nassau Beach. We plan to stay through the New Year's weekend. Any thoughts about hiring a boat to a neighboring island, how to keep cost down if chartering a flight from SC, and Eleuthera as a 2nd stop are appreciated. Looks like you are a fan of T&C.
Report Abuse
I'm a huge Out Island fan too
If only 7-9 nights, you're not there long enough to add another Out Island.
So stick to Nassau-Paradise and SCYC
The only other way to realistically add another is day trip from Paradise on ferry to Harbour Island. They have day trips
No general boats or transportation between most islands
Most air will be sold out, as that's how Islanders travel
To island hop more than 1 Out Island you really need 7 days for EACH!
Get a nicer place if you can at Paradise. How many nights did you book SCYC for? (Did you even book it? It sells out a year ahead)
Specific number of nights on vacation?
You're trying to cram in too much, as it's really hard to combine Out Islands in the first place.
PS my 14 year old favorite trip is SCYC
Report Abuse
Again, thank you so much for your input! I imagine that 4 nights on SCYC is going to be my limit. I love to explore areas, as much as I love to immerse myself in one. My approach is explore first, immerse later (next trip). Depending on charges, I may bite the bullet and spring for a charter flight (if available from SC) to another Out Island. I get it that it is late. SCYC is holding a spot for us (beyond 12/29) but need to let them know immediately. My wife's bucket-list dream is to stay on a white, turquoise beach in Caribbean. Would like to try to accommodate her. I appreciate your perspective that staying in SC the whole time is the most sensible option. I'll make decision today: stay on SC; charter flight to Eleuthera or Great Exuma (if stars are in alignment). Anything further you can share with me would be so appreciated. Realizing you are resident-expert on this area on boards - I am all ears. On a completely separate note, we have reservations for Barcelona/San Sebastian (Basque surrounds) this August; I see you love Spain. Don't want to push my luck, but would love to hear from you on that part of the world too. Or, do you have a board/post you could refer me to. Your photos of your daughter in water are awesome. Thank you! Steve

At Staniel Cay there's not a great sand white beach, you must travel in the skiffs to get to the beaches--(Compass Point is amazing, and the front dock has tame sharks on their deck, really cool! No place to really stay there though, must go by skiff provided by SCYC)
There are many sand bars (love them) swimming pigs, many beaches around SCYC, but must use skiff.
Make sure to get meal plan (one of the most excellent restaurants in Caribbean!) which includes the much needed skiff.
Combining Great Exuma might be smarter, but you'll need car rental, takes hours from 1 end to another
Charter plane will be more than $1000, if they're not already booked up by now. Only other option is fly back to Nassau on Bahamas Air, which means overnight usually
Getting to Eleuthera is a chore from SCYC--back to Nassau, probably overnight. Then you must decide which 3 areas to stay, great distance between them. Governor's Harbour is in the middle, if you want closer to Harbour Island (amazing) then fly into North Eleuthera.
Harbour Island, try Valentines (a lot more than your budget, but less than everywhere else)
Eleuthera try Pineapple Fields (if space left, not many units) Close to a gorgeous stretch, close to French Leaving (Club Med) Beach, another amazing. Tippy's is my favorite restaurant and there too
If traveling 7 nights, forget it!!! Seriously, forget it. You are way too ambitious.
If 9 nights, still really pushing it, 4 of those will be worthless travel days, and 2-3 full days at each won't cut it.
So again, stay Nassau (maybe try Sandyport? or somewhere in Paradise) split with SCYC. You can still take a ferry day trip to Harbour Island.
As for Spain--grew up there but been 30 years ago! From Barcelona, take a car up Costa Brava and explore, gorgeous towns, really scenic. Pals is an acient Roman town, and Gerona is amazing. I've gone up as far as into France, Carceconne is a medevil town really cool. Love Costa Brava
San Sebastian is way North on the other side, pretty far from each other
Report Abuse
Very helpful! Last question: Forgetting SC for a moment --> would you give recommendation for places - 5 days with long white beaches flying out Nassau, same budget, no resort/AI, somewhat off the grid, natural beauty, fresh/local cuisine (foodie-quality but not necessarily foodie-level presentation/preparation)...?
Re Spain: Pals looks absolutely amazing. Plan to spend several weeks in southwestern France and then drive in u-shape from Toulouse to Carcassonne, down Costa Brava to Barcelona, across to San Sebastian then into Bordeaux and home. I know, I know - way too ambitious! (I won't tell you about past trips through Germany, Austria, Italy, France and into Paris. Only makes me want to go back and do it again).

Beyond SCYC, there are many laid-back beachfront inns and small resorts in the Out Islands. My personal favorite is Fernandez Bay Village on Cat Island (fly to TBI) -- the beach is a stunner, the cottages are coral stone (some with thatched roofs) and have outdoor baths, and the menu always features some local items. A lot of people like Cape Santa Maria on Long Island; the beach there is one of the loveliest I've seen, but I found the resort a little too groomed for my taste. There are many small properties in the Abacos, but many visitors rent small cottages and runabouts for exploration. I'd look at renting a cottage or villa on Eleuthera as well. There is really no shortage of options in the Out Islands if you want to stay on a beautiful beach away from it all.
Report Abuse
Doing that in Europe is not that ambitious, it's doable
Packing in Caribbean is ambitious and not doable- logistics are open water with no ferries or direct flights between
Budget over Christmas also really limiting your options (mostly sold out) which make recommending hard not knowing what's left
Many Out Islands are reached by Fr Lauderdale so making hop even harder
Pineapple Fields Eleuthera is sold out, as is most I would recommend
So search away, come back and get my opinion of what's left, then I'm happy to help, but for now EVERYTHING I would recommend is booked. (Especially at your budget). So do some searching,as I really can't look for you when nothing is left, then I'm happy to give opinion
Truthfully, if space at SCYC it's an amazing destination (even if you have to have an adventure to get to them)
Sounds like you like adventures anyway- so a great fit
Report Abuse
Callaloo & blamona: You both are great to be so helpful. We are confirmed at SCYC for 4 nights. Also, I just contacted a local pilot who agreed to fly us from SCYC to Eleuthera for $500. I will now invoke my inner OCD-self to explore possible cancellations at the places you mentioned. Callaloo - Fernandez Bay looks our speed, but I heard that Cat Island got hit hard by a recent storm and is struggling to recover...? blamona - Pineapple Fields looks interesting. It kills me to think of spending $700+ a night when we are interested in less developed white sand beaches, kayaking, quiet, as well as exploring and eating local fare. Just sayin'

It is Long Island (and the southern end, at that) which was hit hard by Hurricane Joaquin this fall. I get the sense that the northern end (where Cape Santa Maria is located) is in decent shape, and the hotel is open for guests. As far as I know, Cat Island is fine.
If you can get a $500 flight to Eleuthera, I expect that the flight to Cat Island would be about the same, as the distance is only about 50 miles.

Agree with Steve, it was Long island that was hit hard. If you switch to Cat also look at Shannas Cove Resort. Small boutique hotel with very good food. We ate most of out meals at their restaurant (we rented a villa). They are on the N end of the island. The beach is stunning (compares well to the Cape beach on LI). You can walk miles on that beach. In addition, there is a semi-groomed walking trail from their property to other completely undeveloped beaches which go on for tens of miles....take a look at some of the reviews on trip advisor.

If Shannas is not sold out, I'd go to Cat
Only thing left is Rainbow Inn on Eleuthera, you'll have to travel to better beaches (Rainbow Beach is nice, but not as compared to others) Rainbow is actually on the basic side for me, Pineapple Fields is far superior and next to Tippy's and great beaches. Maybe call them to see if anyone is trying to cancel?
If Pineapple not available, I'd try Shanna's on Cat.
Or not to throw you off, but Club Med on San Salvador is scrumptious. Actually the only thing on island--food is amazing. Although it's all inclusive, it's a bargain and the beach is one of the best in Bahamas--see if private plane can fly you there, then get return to Nassau on Bahamas Air. (If they're not sold out)

How was your stay at Melia Nassau Beach/Bahamas? I am contemplating going there w/ my hubby for our big anniv. We've never been anywhere warm for our (Feb 14th) anniv. This will be a treat. (We're from Maine, USA.)
I am thinking about a week, all-inclusive, so I don't have to cook. What a dream. Pls let me know how your time at Melia Nassau Bahamas went. Thank you.

McLisa: The OP hasn't been on the forums for about a year so most likely won't see your post.

Also, the Melia has been completely reinvented since the 2015 post. It's next to the now-open Bahamar Resort. But I think there are better choices with more reliably warm water (though everything will be warm compared to Maine).

I have to admit – I"M SHOCKED! This past week I was talking to a lady in charge of social media marketing for a software company about who they were using/hiring to be in charge of their social media strategy and planning. With my background in corporate strategy, naive Blaine thought they were actually talking about "real strategy" instead of which social media "tools" they should be using. Boy was I off base…
Turns out they are looking for $40/hour people – maybe an $80,000/year position to take the lead and develop a social media strategy and execution. I just about fell out of my chair! So my question was pretty simple, "I guess your Brand and reputation are worth less than $100k – at least you've put a price tag on it." When you have someone at that level in charge of the messaging to your customers, prospects, partners, advisors, vendors, etc., is that who you feel understands your business well enough to entrust your Brand?
Your Brand is what you live and what you engage about with your audience – it's that simple. It isn't slogans and signs, it is the dialog and the message that your audience receives. Putting this message in the hands of someone who doesn't really understand your business nor the strategy or markets you are trying to reach is simply committing "marketing suicide". We are just starting to see more cases of this hitting the air waves – and there will be more.
Just because someone understands the "Tools" of social media does not give them permission to "own your brand" through the messages that are being sent. If you are the CEO or Owner or someone in charge, I would challenge you to ask some tough questions of your management team in this area. Just because someone knows facebook or twitter or LinkedIn or a host of other tools doesn't mean the understand your business and your customers. STOP risking your Brand – it is worth more than $40/hour.

APS Nutrition Phenadrine V2.0
With a two-in-one punch, Phenadrine fuses advanced weight loss stimulation and intense workout potentiation like no other supplement.
Prepare to end your battle with stubborn body fat!
Burning body fat can be a tedious uphill battle especially if you are already an active person; those last few pounds can seem impossible!
That headache has come to an end as APS Nutrition presents Phenadrine, a fat burner that helps create the ideal conditions for fat burning when fat burning seems impossible!
If you have ever attempted to lose fat, you know that there will come a time when you just plateau. Simply put, our bodies don't like to change that much and it works hard to stay the same.
APS Nutrition gets fat burning, and Phenadrine was specifically formulated to promote fat loss when the body has gotten used to fat loss!
Phenadrine stimulates the body's central nervous system to promote lipolysis, the breakdown of fat cells.
Additionally, Phenadrine serves as a powerful energizer featuring the novel stimulant DMAA! It even puts your stored fat to work and uses it as energy!
End your battle with stubborn body fat with a Victory with Phenadrine by APS Nutrition
Key Benefits for Phenadrine by APS Nutriton:
-Promotes Fat Loss
-Helps Elevate Energy Levels
-Contains DMAA
-Helps Improve Focus and Alertness
-Aids in Speeding up Metabolism
-Helps Suppress Appetite
-Mood Enhancer
-May increase Sexual Performance
Caffeine: is a stimulant that promotes increased energy and focus. Caffeine aids in fat loss by speeding up the bodies metabolism. As the body metabolizes caffeine, it increases lipolysis, the breakdown of fat, this process decreases the amount of fat stored throughout the body. The body exerts the stored fat as energy, thus promoting increased energy levels and decreased fat consumption. Caffeine supports appetite suppression which leads to fat loss. Caffeine works by stimulating the central nervous system, heart, and muscles.
1,3-Dimethylamylamine (DMAA): A powerful stimulant found and strong fat burners. DMAA activates a enzyme called adenyiate cyclase, this enzyme increases cyclic adenosine monophosphate in cells, activating fat metabolism. This compound works similar to caffeine by stimulating the central nervous system, leading to increased energy, and physical performance, elevated focus and alertness. Users experience beneficial effects while supplementing DMAA while training. Promoting heightened intensity and endurance.
N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine (NAT): is derived from the essential amino acid L-Tyrosine. N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine is a water soluble amino acid that is rapidly absorbed and more bio-available form of L-Tyrosine. This compound is known to help decrease stress levels by modulating the synthesis of cortisol and thyroid hormones. Modulating thyroid hormone leads to protein synthesis and glucose metabolism. The slightest increase of the thyroid hormone can have beneficial improvement in metabolism, energy, and attitude. NAT works with caffeine and DMAA to modulate the synthesis or catecholamine, promoting thermogenesis and lipolysis.

Lloyd Knibb, (born March 8, 1931, Jamaica—died May 12, 2011, Kingston, Jam.), Jamaican drummer who was a founding member of the short-lived but influential ska music group the Skatalites (1963–65); his musical innovations on the drums helped to establish the group's prominent and defining role in the development of ska. Knibb formed his unique sound from the array of styles that he was required to play while growing up in Kingston and playing drums in a series of jazz bands at various hotels. In 1963 he joined with saxophonist Tommy McCook, trombonist Don Drummond, and other session musicians as the Skatalites. After releasing such instrumental singles as "Guns of Navarone" and "Ball of Fire"—as well as backing such influential Jamaican singers as Prince Buster, Desmond Dekker, and Bob Marley—the band broke up when Drummond was arrested for killing his girlfriend. Knibb then started (1965) the rock steady band the Supersonics with McCook. The Skatalites re-formed in 1983 and in 1989 and went on to tour and record the Grammy Award-nominated albums Hi-Bop Ska (1995) and Greetings from Skamania (1996). Knibb played his last concert as a member of the Skatalites in April 2011.

In yesterday's post I shared some information on the possibility of animal suicide from the book Animal Madness. Today I wanted to share a quotation that I found in that book. It is by Pam Houston, from Contents May Have Shifted:
"I'm beginning to understand that when we want to kill ourselves, it is not because we are lonely, but because we are trying to break up with the world before it breaks up with us."
The first part of that didn't resonate with me at all. I felt deeply lonely when I was in suicidal depression. I felt lonely in my own individual life and I also felt the striking loneliness of being so small in the universe and in the big history of time. But what did resonate for me was the second part of the quote, the part about wanting to break up with the world before it could break up with me. That really struck me as a personal truth; I wanted things to get better but I didn't think it would and the world was causing me so much pain that felt like abandonment that I just wanted to nip the pain in the bud and end it before life itself could kill me.
And that brings us to today's crochet Mandalas for Marinke, which come to us from Danita Clark. We learn from RedBubble that she's from Seaview Downs, Australia, and that it wasn't at all a stretch for her to make crochet mandalas. In fact, she writes,
"I love creating Mandalas. The word mandala in the ancient Sanskrit language means healing circle and they are seen in spiritual traditions throughout the world as healing and transforming art for meditation. Today mandala also refers to symbols that are created from a circle. I have been creating mandalas since 1998. I enjoy reflecting emotions and thoughts and ideas within the framework of the mandala. They are all unique."
She uses an intuitive meditation technique to create personalized mandalas including those for special events. She can also be found on Facebook. The ones that she crocheted for this project were inspired by Wink's mandalas.
This is one of the posts made in honor of Wink, in celebration of crochet mandalas and to raise depression awareness. See all Mandalas for Marinke posts here.

Ever since I watched that film Hackers I've dreamed of being able to tap into the mainframes of secret organisations and take down big banks (if you work at the CIA, I'm only joking by the way). Now I can get some practice in on my Pocket PC thanks to this conversion of the classic PC game. Hacker Evolution sees you take on the role of a hacker thirsty for fame and money.
Your goal is to inifiltrate as many servers as possible, and pump up your bank account in the process. To do this you must hook up to different machines using a combination of commands and by solving puzzles before being detected.
Although not much to look at graphically, the gaming environment is unique and authentic in that it displays a series of computer messages that simluate those you'd find on real servers. The suspense of the gameplay is heightened by an atmospheric soundtrack that gets more intense as things get more dangerous.
Hacker Evolution serves up some unqiue and intelligent gameplay, and while there's not much in the way of action, it offers nerds across the world the chance to act out their fantasies on a Pocket PC.

Up to our elbows in spiral notebooks is part of the national "back-to-school" mentality, but let's consider what we are putting in our students' heads, instead of into the back-to-school shopping cart.
Perhaps the most important component for economic health is creativity. A Newsweek article, "The Creativity Crisis," cited a study in which 1,500 CEO's said creativity was the number one most important "leadership competency."
What is creativity? The article suggests a definition of creativity as: requiring the ability for "divergent thinking (generating many unique ideas) and then convergent thinking (combining those ideas into the best result)."
So, how we are doing nurturing creativity in our classrooms and in our culture?
Newsweek reported that for the first time in the decades that it has been measured, American creativity is declining. A report by the Alliance for Childhood, documents that creative learning and the arts are being programmed out of schools starting as early as kindergarten (Edward Miller and Joan Almon, Crisis in the Kindergarten: Why Children Need to Play in School. Alliance for Childhood: College Park, 2009.)
The authors found that in some of today's classrooms, children are so unfamiliar with open-ended creative play, that "as one kindergarten teacher put it, 'If I give the children time to play, they don't know what to do. They have no ideas of their own.'" (8) For me, it is almost too depressing to accept that children in our communities do not have a concept of play.
The report summarizes, "Research shows that children who engage in complex forms of socio-dramatic play have greater language skills than nonplayers, better social skills, more empathy, more imagination, and more of the subtle capacity to know what others mean. They are less aggressive and show more self-control and higher levels of thinking. Animal research suggests that they have larger brains with more complex neurological structures than nonplayers." (7). These seem to be qualities it would be helpful to nurture in the next generation on our fragile planet.
How much damage has "teaching to the test" done to the ability of our students to ask questions, think independently, look for novel solutions, or engage in discussions presenting various points of view? How much damage has the amount of time taken from the arts –and even recess—done to minimize the sparkle in the eyes of an elementary student? (Or an elementary teacher?)
I remember when I was volunteering in my son's 3rd grade class and I was helping supervising "free time". One student had finished his math and English and was doodling. I approved his use of time. Then I was reprimanded by the classroom teacher, "After 2nd grade, there's no doodling in the classroom. Refocus him on math or English."
Richard Florida in his book, The Rise of the Creative Class, argues that creativity is the key economic and healthy-community resource of the future. Having an enclave of creative thinkers, or "creative class" as he calls it, will bring businesses, (with jobs), economic vitality and economic stability to a region. He writes that jobs don't "come to a region." They come to an area where creative people have nurtured an inspiring, creative community. (xix). "At all levels of government and even in the private sector, Americans have been cutting back crucial investment in creativity—in education, in research, in arts and culture—while pouring billions into low-return or no-return public projects like sports stadiums. …The real threat to American security is not terrorism, it's that creative and talented people may stop wanting to come here." (xxiv)
Consider for example that other countries are identifying creativity as a national priority:
– In 2008, British secondary-school curricula was rewritten to focus on "idea-generation."
– The European Union identified 2009 as the European Year of Creativity and Innovation.
– In China, "there has been widespread education reform to extinguish the drill-and-kill teaching style. Instead, Chinese schools are also adopting a problem-based learning approach." (These points are from the Newsweek article, "Creativity Crisis.")
Think about it: it's the creative members of a community that solve the problems, offer new opportunities, new products, new ways of using resources—the creative class offers the excitement and hope for the future. And it is a vital resource. Richard Florida says, "Creativity is not a tangible asset like mineral deposits that can be hoarded or fought over or even bought or sold. We must begin to think of creativity as a common good, like liberty or security. It is something essential that belongs to all of us, and that must always be fed, renewed and maintained—or else it will slip away." (xxvi)
It is linear thinking that confines creativity and innovation exclusively to art classes. These vital skills can be honed in many divergent forums. Although I am a huge advocate (naturally) of keeping the fine arts in all or our lives and in our curricula, perhaps, as the Newsweek article suggests it would be more palatable to introduce creativity in other areas of instruction, like in history or writing term papers. "Researchers say creativity should be taken out of the art room and put into homeroom. The argument that we can't teach creativity because kids already have too much to learn is a false trade-off. Creativity isn't about freedom from concrete facts. Rather, fact-finding and deep research are vital stages in the creative process. Scholars argue that current curriculum standards can still be met, if taught in a different way." (Newsweek).
Creativity and imagination are vital in science too, not only in discovery but in disproving, challenging and proving theses. "The obvious role of imagination is in the context of discovery. Unimaginative scientists don't produce radically new ideas. But even in science imagination plays a role in justification too. Experiment and calculation cannot do all its work." (Timothy Williamson, New York Times: Opinionator, "Reclaiming the Imagination," August 15, 2010.)
Another benefit to society of using creativity and imagination, as suggested by Florida, is that it goes beyond problem solving, "Along with problem solving…work may entail problem finding: not just building a better mousetrap, but noticing first that a better mousetrap would be a handy thing to have." (69)
Are the students you know given:
- enough introduction to the arts?
- enough time to find their voices through creativity?
- enough time to process and problem solve through open-ended creative play or group problem solving?
- enough immersion in a curriculum built around thinking in order to develop divergent thinking and convergent thinking?
Are students in your community supported for engaging in the arts such as the visual arts, music, theater, dance, film, performance art, or writing? Are opportunities available? Is creative thinking and problem solving important? Is it important that students have a chance to stretch their creative wings?
The video "Schools Kill Creativity," from TED.com will challenge your concept of creativity and how we are bludgeoning it out of our educational systems.
Emory University appointed the Dalai Lama as a Presidential Distinguished Professor. www.emory.edu/tweetpeace has a number of YouTube videos, etc. Some discuss the relationship between spirituality and creativity, some talk about the difference in creativity between the East and the West, and about how those differences express themselves in our art. It's another point of view to broaden the discussion.
Let's get real about true intelligence, knowledge and the skills we need to survive and thrive. Problem solving with divergent and convergent thinking are way up at the top. I think our culture and our schools are bludgeoning creativity to death.
Think about creativity. Watch the video on TED.com and think about what we each can do to put the emphasis on the right side of the brain in our schools and in our society.

text: Here's an article on the weight-management benefits we offer here. Our offering is a little different than what most other companies offer because it's designed for people that have a BMI of over 30 and/or medical conditions related to being overweight. Almost 800 employees have enrolled and lost about 26,000 pounds total (whoah!). This isn't a gym membership, it's a doctor supervised, lifestyle-changing plan. I love the idea of people taking control (and let's just say I have a little experience in making big changes in eating habits for my own health...no white stuff for me!). Plus, I am a sucker for before and after pictures.

All you see above is the one productive thing I've managed this Sunday. I really need to get my bum into gear as it's taken me a week to edit one video and I currently have a grand total of 0 posts ready for the week ahead! A natural french manicure was the style of choice this week. I started with the Essie Nourish Me Basecoat, with the Sally Hansen French Tip over the ends of my nails. One coat of the french tip was all I needed as I wanted to avoid the acrylic nail look. I then layered two coats of Essie Sugar Daddy, which looks beautiful over french tips or alone to spruce up lazy nails. I then finished with a Topcoat by Rimmel - a surprisingly good topcoat with a really great brush - if you like the diffusion line brushes then you'll like this!
I love this look, but I don't know how long it will last as I've already caught my nail on the car door and chipped one of the tips - DOH!
Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!

Nature's riches from the Amazon
Under the tree shades
Forget about spine-chilling mice climbing from sewers to haunt dai pai dong diners. The world's largest rodent, the capybara, is stockier than rats, but no less endearing than guinea pigs.
The barrel-shaped animal can grow as long as 1.3 metres and weigh up to 65kg - as heavy as a human. It has a short head and a coat of reddish-brown fur. Adults gorge up to 3.6kg of grasses and aquatic plants each day. But they are very picky about what they eat. Their diet is made up of only four to six plants. Like rabbits and cows, they eat their own poop to extract maximum nutrition from their food.
The clever animals graze in the late afternoon when the sun is low in the sky. In daytime, they wallow in rivers. They are skilled swimmers and divers, capable of holding their breath underwater for as long as five minutes. The waters also act as their refuge when threatened.
'When strangers visited the two capybaras, they scuttled into the pond,' Peter Tse Pei-tak, Ocean Park's operations manager for terrestrial life sciences, recalls. 'All we can see are two pairs of eyes and two noses sticking out of the water like hippos eyeing us cautiously.'
Hercules beetle
Pound for pound, the hercules beetle certainly lives up to the name of the Greek god. As the world's strongest animal, it can lift objects 850 times its weight with a huge curvy horn over its head. But only males grow these extraordinary horns that make up more than half of its 19cm-long body.
'They are especially useful in winning over females during the mating season,' explains Charlie Young Yuet-mei, Ocean Park's assistant curator of freshwater and reptile exhibits. 'They use their horns to lift their opponent up and knock him to the ground.'
Females, on the other hand, look distinctly different and were once believed to be a separate species from the males. They have a bigger body, but lack horns altogether. In contrast to the males' olive-green wing case with large black spots, theirs are brownish black.
In reproduction, cream-coloured larvae grow up around rotten logs feeding on decaying wood, leaf litter and dung. The beetle takes a year to pupate, but it lives for only three to four months as adults.
Dazzling the skies
Sun conure
A flock of sun conures flying across the evening sky was said to resemble a beautiful sunset, hence its name. The brilliantly coloured members of the parrot family sport a golden-yellow plumage with an orange-flushed face and belly plus a long green tail.
This species is hugely popular as pets, leading to severe poaching. They are also increasingly vulnerable to a loss of forest habitat. The bird was listed as endangered in the 2008 International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List. Indigenous people hunt conures for their fascinating feathers, which they fashion into headdresses. Now, overseas zoos and shops collect feathers from moulting captive-bred birds and send them to the tribes in hopes of protecting the species.
Toco toucan
The oversized, colourful bills of toco toucans may appear formidable. In fact, they are more show than substance when it comes to a fight - the 20cm-long bill, which spans one-third of its body length - is made of light and spongy tissue.
The true function behind the bill is to help the toucan reach fruits and acorns on branches that are too weak to support its weight. It is also a good tool to use to skin fruits or scoop up water. 'Our toucans enjoy grabbing a piece of fruit on the tip of their bills, tossing it into the air and catching it with their mouths,' Tse describes. 'They also pitch the fruit to one another during mating rituals.'
When a toucan sleeps, it twists its beak round, resting it on its back, and folds up its tail to its breast. Toucans have long, thin tongues frayed on the sides, like a built-in bottle brush, that they use to clean their mouths. They often gather in large groups and chatter noisily. Their calls can be heard almost a kilometre away.
Haunting the Amazon River
Poison dart frog
Tiny poison dart frogs are only as large as a paper clip, but they pack a powerful punch of poison. For example, the golden poison dart frog has enough poison to kill 10 grown men. They wear some of the most vivid colours to ward off predators.
But Ocean Park's captive-bred blue poison dart frog and dyeing dart frog do not develop venom. 'The frogs draw their poison from prey such as ants, termites and spiders in their native habitat,' Young explains. 'Here we isolate them from those insects and feed them with fruits, so they are harmless.'
Indigenous communities have used the frogs' powerful venom for centuries to tip their blowgun darts to hunt monkeys and other animals. That's how the animal got its common name.
The arapaima is a true prehistoric river monster; fossil records show it roamed the Amazon River alongside Jurassic dinosaurs.
The megafish - the world's largest freshwater fish - reaches a length of more than three metres and weighs up to 180kg. It hunts close to the water's surface and gulps down everything that crosses its path, from fish to waddling birds. It often emerges to breathe with a distinctive coughing noise.
Adult males play an unusual reproductive role by incubating tens of thousands of eggs in their mouths, guarding them aggressively and moving them when necessary.
Indigenous tribes consume the giant's boneless meat, use its bony tongue as a medical remedy and collect its large scales to make jewellery. The fish are also threatened by commercial fishing and game hunting.
'The living fossils have become rare in the wild,' Young says. 'We can no longer find specimens as large as 10 years ago.'
High in the canopies
Kinkajous share Winnie the Pooh's immense passion for honey. After sundown, the red-panda relative emerges to raid beehives and empty flowers of their nectar. Their cat-sized bodies are tailored for a life hunting the sweet golden liquid.
Fully reversible hind feet enable the kinks to run quickly in either direction along branches or up and down trunks. They also hang from their tails - like a fifth limb - and descend headfirst to help themselves to nectar from flowers growing on the edge of branches. Tse notes that kinks have long skinny tongues to slurp honey from hives and remove insects such as termites from their nests. Flowers rely on kinks for pollination. Tse describes: 'As the honey-drinkers go from blossom to blossom in the wild, their cheeks get smeared with patches of white pollen.'
At night, their large round eyes reflect light from a great distance when one shines a torch at them. In the day, they sleep in tree hollows, with the forelimbs covering their eyes and their tails acting like a cosy blanket.
Babies come into the world with their eyes shut and cannot see for a month. But they grow up quickly. At two months old, they can already hang by their tails.
Pygmy marmoset
At 14cm and 160 grams, pygmy marmosets are the smallest of all monkeys. The babies measure only the size of a human's thumb.
But judge them not by their teeny size. The monkeys are expert climbers that can run vertically up and down trees with their claw-like fingernails. They can also leap more than five metres.
'Their diminutiveness gives them an edge over other monkeys, for they can conceal themselves completely by flattening against tree trunks,' Tse says. 'If they don't pop their heads out to scan the environment, you cannot find them at all.'
Being lightweight, the monkeys can climb to treetops on slender branches where they can find untapped sources of food - sap and gum that ooze out of plants.
They communicate by making sharp clicks and whistles. Some noises are so high pitched that humans cannot hear them.
The marmoset has a brownish yellow coat with dense tufts of hair sweeping back from its forehead. Its tail is marked with faint black and tan rings.

On Patreon and conflicts of interest
Posted by CaptainBinky | Posted in Useless Advice | Posted on 30-11-2014
I must admit, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Patreon – is it okay for me as a developer to fund a games writer who potentially in the future could write something about my game? I don't know – you're certainly not, in that simple act of Patronage, entering into a binding contract where they must write something favourable about you. But at the same time, without intimately knowing the person you're supporting you also can't guarantee that it won't predispose them towards you.
So what to do? Well, here's a thought…
Set your Patreon account to "private", you muppet. You can do that dead easily. For extra fun, set up another email account with a meaningless address and don't put your actual name (or common internet handle) into the Username box (those are the only two mandatory fields). That done, there is no way that the person you're supporting, or the public at large, could ever know you support them – and therefore there is no way at all that this act of Patronage could be perceived as a cash for coverage situation.
If the person you're supporting doesn't know (and can't know) you support them, how could this possibly change anything? The other way round, press supporting devs… that's a little different and I bow gracefully out of having an opinion on that matter since it's not an issue I have to concern myself with, not being press and all 😉

In order to study the effects of vitamin E, vitamin C, or combination of vitamin E and C supplementation on
bioenergitics index (aerobic and anaerobic power) 36 physical education college students (male), were selected non
randomly and they were set in 4 groups randomly. Average of age, weight, height and fat percentage of them was (22.48
± 1.84) years, (64.93 ± 7.84) kilograms, (175.4 ± 5.66) centimetres and (10.94 ± 5.29)
milimetres, respectively. The period considered for consumption of vitamins by expermental groups was a three week
period that in this period the first group consumed dose of (400 mg) vitamin E and second group (1000 mg) vitamin C
and third group (400 mg vitamin E plus 1000 mg vitamin C) daily and fourth group (control group) consumed placebo. The test which
have been exerted in this research consist of:
1) assessment of anaerobic power by »RAST« test.
2) assessment of aerobic power by cooper test.
Finally data in four group was analyzed by one and two-way ANOVA statistical method. Result
indicated that there was not a siginficant (p < 0.05) difference between four group in anaerobic power whereas,there was
a significant (p < 0.05) difference between four group in aerobic power. Therefore we concluded that daily consumption of
400 mg vitamin E, 1000 mg vitamin C and 400 mg vitamin E plus 1000 mg vitamin C for a period of three week dose not
Have any effect on the basis of improvement of anaerobic power, whereas have effect on aerobic power.
Key Words: vitamin E, vitamin C, aerobic power, anaerobic power.
The recent interest in antioxidants and free radicals has prompted an increase in the supplementation of these
substances by many in the general public. Athletes believe that supplementing their diet with antioxidants helps to
maintain optimum fitness. It is well accepted that exercise causes an increase in the production of free radicals and
other reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Powers and Hamilton, 1999). A proliferation of these free radicals can cause a
decrease in the function of affected cells and can result in a decreased ability of muscles to maintain work. Some may
believe that the ingestion of antioxidants will help to stave off this proliferation of free radicals during exercise
and thus provide a beneficial effect. Vitamin E and vitamin C, are two antioxidants that have garnered the most
attention from those who wish to supplement their diets with exogenous nutrients. Vitamin E works to protect cell
membranes by breaking the chain reactions that attack the lipid portions of those membranes. Vitamin C works in
conjunction with vitamin E and is located in the cytosol of cells. It helps to regenerate vitamin E that has been used
to fight the lipid peroxidation occurring within cell membranes.
In one particular animal study, Lang, Gohil, and Packer
(1986) supplemented guinea pigs with up to 4 grams/kg of body weight of vitamin C for two weeks and observed an
increase in endurance capacity. At the same time, they did not see a concomitant increase in vitamin C tissue levels,
but saw a decrease in muscle vitamin E levels. In addition, ubiquinone levels stayed constant. They suggested that this
might show a tissue specific interaction between C, E, and ubiquinone. Human studies reveal conflicting results. As
early as 1966, Spioch, Kobza, and Mazur (1966) injected volunteers with 500 mg of vitamin C before a 5-minute step test
to evaluate the effectiveness of supplementation on human performance. They found a reduction in oxygen consumption (by
12%), oxygen debt (by 40%), and pulse rate (by 11%). Unfortunately, this study was uncontrolled. Consequently there was
no way to know if the improvements were attributed to the supplementation or training effect.
In 1985 a vitamin C supplemented group of 16 healthy female Indian physical education college students, saw improvement
in physical efficiency (by 5.0 on the Harvard Step Test), and a 9-minute walk / run (236.77 meters) (Samanta and Biswas,
1985). However, only the improvement in 9-minute walk in the supplemented group was significant at p<0.05. Students were
randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. Each subject in the experimental group was given a 500mg
vitamin C tablet every day for four weeks. Unfortunately, they did not compare results against a sedentary group to see
differences between physically active individuals and the latter. In a study using 286 American Air Force officers, half
of whom supplemented with 1 gram of vitamin C daily for 12 weeks, a small improvement was seen in endurance performance
(12-minute run) between supplemented and unsupplemented subjects (Gey, Cooper, Bottenberg, 1970). However, this
improvement was not statistically significant (less than 1%). Keren and Epstein (1980) saw no improvement in maximum
oxygen uptake during a cycle-ergometer test, in untrained subjects after they ingested 1 gram of vitamin C daily. The
untrained subjects were assigned to a supplemented group or a placebo group. Each group was given either 1000mg per day
of vitamin C or a placebo for 21 days in a double-blind manner. Before and after supplementation VO2 max and anaerobic
capacity were measured. After 21 days of aerobic training (running and hiking), in conjunction with the supplementation
protocol, no differences were seen (p<0.05) in the aerobic or anaerobic capacities of the two groups.
Sumida, Tanaka, Kitao, and Nakadomo (1988) supplemented twenty-one healthy male college volunteers with 300 mg vitamin
E for four weeks. The subjects performed a pre-supplementation and post-supplementation protocol of exercising to
exhaustion using an incremental exercise test upon a Monark cycle-ergometer. The exercise test involved subjects
pedaling a Monark bicycle-ergometer at an initial work rate of 4 minutes at zero watts. Thereafter, the work rate was
increased by 15 watts every minute until a pedaling rate of 60 rpm could no longer be maintained. Following data
collection, the investigators found no significant difference in VO2 peak (Control - 48.9 ml/kg/min; Vit E - 49.1
ml/kg/min) or time to exhaustion (Control - 19.0 min; Vit E - 19.1 min). However, this was not a double-blind placebo
controlled trial. However, we see a variety of different methods to test the effectiveness of vitamin C but, no clear
cut determination of its influence upon muscular work. Finally, none of the studies cited have used the mixture of beta-
carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E when investigating antioxidant supplementation upon muscular work. Although there has
been no conclusive evidence to support the supplementation of these nutrients, perhaps the combination of these three
may have a significant effect considering their interrelationship within the cell membrane. Also, no one has compared the
effect vitamin E, and vitamin C in combination upon aerobic and anaerobic power using a double-blind crossover
experimental design. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of vitamin E, vitamin C and combination of
vitamin E and vitamin C supplementation upon aerobic and anaerobic power in male college students.

Mr Justice Cooke reflects on trend for lawyer manipulation of statements
£60m – it will buy you 133 million bags of crisps, 18 Lamborghini Veneno Roadsters (the most expensive car in the world) or one legal battle against Deutsche Bank.
Norwegian billionaire and owner of Sebastian Holdings Andrew Vik may be wishing he'd spent his money on crisps instead of fighting in court for $8bn (£5bn) over loss-making trades after being ordered to pay £51m in indemnity costs. And that's on top of a $240m compensation package.
Within a fortnight, £32m must be paid into the court.
This was one of the largest cases ever heard by the Commercial Court, running for more than four months and resulting in an 800-page judgment from Mr Justice Cooke. Like many of his peers Cooke J took a tough line on costs while issuing stinging criticism of Vik as the chief witness for Sebastian.
Vik was "not a reliable witness", the judge said, adding that his evidence was "incapable of acceptance on the crucial issues".
"I have concluded that in some respects he was simply dishonest," the judge continued.
It could have been worse for Sebastian, had the judge awarded total costs to Deutsche Bank as requested by the bank's counsel, David Foxton QC of Essex Court. There was a discount because the judge found some of the bank's witnesses too were "dishonest and hid the true position".
The judge talked about costs and went a step further to reflect on the use of witness statements in long trials. There is concern, he said, that statements are being "cunningly crafted" to put
across a case by reference.
"I wonder whether we'd not be better off going back to witness 'evidence in chief' and summaries […] with a pagination limit so no one is taken by surprise," he said.
The Commercial Court is grappling with costs issues as the wider judiciary decides whether to lift the budgeting limit on cases valued above £2m. It is taking a hard line on parties that raise legal bills unnecessarily as it seeks to maintain competitiveness in the international market.
Maybe Cooke J has come up with another method of costs control.

text: I am selling my 2002 Walker MC with side-discharge, 48 inch deck. The mower has 470 hours on the clock, and a 16 horse Kohler engine. Included is an extra set of blades, complete with hubs and a Kohler oil filter for the next oil change (due at 500 hrs). I am asking $2,750. I purchased this mower three years ago from a homeowner, at 290 hours, thinking I was going to acquire numerous smaller residentials, some with gated back yards. My customer base has shifted almost entirely to larger properties, and my last gated yard customer removed his fence last week, so I just have no need for it anymore. Probably half the hours I've put on the unit since purchasing it, were on my own lawn. The mower is in good mechanical condition, with no issues I am aware of, and has been serviced regularly. I am located in SW Missouri, and could meet someone halfway within reasonable driving distance. If you are interested, send me a PM. Thanks. Neill
