Fill in the Gap
There is, however, a logic to BMC's systematic investigations that reminds me of yoga. In yoga, for instance, we're often told to "open our hearts." This is partly metaphorical, yet in another sense it's grounded in physiology. A tight chest cavity constricts blood and oxygen flow, so opening it can have an obvious physical benefit for the heart.
Similarly, there is both a physiological and a more metaphorical, spiritual aspect to BMC. On the one hand, BMC uses the basic language of Western science�anatomy and physiology�but it also encompasses a more Eastern spiritual quality�the experiential nature of the work, the more existential understanding that we can root our awareness deep in our bodies.
"If you think about yoga as a spiritual and a lifelong practice," says Elliot, "then what you want is the sort of stimulation that's going to keep opening the postures for you rather than pinning them down. I think that's something BMC can do. This is the kind of many-layered work that can help you open up a posture or any sort of movement practice. You find so much to work with, so much to pay attention to. It creates a richness that helps you understand why yoga and BMC are lifelong practices."
A New Perspective
As I move through my practice these days, I find clear echoes of my Pilates, Feldenkrais, and Body-Mind Centering experiences, all just waiting to give me guidance.
In forward bends, I can't fall into my habit of focusing completely on my hamstrings. If I do, the memory of Strauch's hands and voice pop into my mind, reminding me that my lower back is involved, too, and that my whole body is an interconnected system.
If I start to clench my buttocks in Downward-Facing Dog�a tendency my yoga teachers have slowly weaned me away from�I suddenly remember my experience of fluidity in my BMC session. And since my Pilates session, I finally understand why teachers often lead us through asanas that awaken the abdominals before we do inversions and arm balances. Now that I'm more aware of my core, poses like Handstand and Crow are much easier.
Of course, Pilates, Feldenkrais, and Body-Mind Centering all tap into essential components of yoga: breath, body awareness, strength, alternatives to bad movement habits. My yoga teachers have been offering me similar tips and pointers for many years. But my experience with Western somatics practices helped me assimilate those lessons, allowing me to return to yoga with newly opened eyes and ears. I discovered that sometimes the easiest way through difficulties in yoga can be stepping outside the traditional practice to view its principles from a new perspective.

Average Customer Reviews
EVOLUTION 2 provides the control, power and lighting you need in four
attractive finishes. The sealed flush mount control panel cleans easily, and
features simple LED indicators for lighting and blower control. Brilliant lighting
from four halogen lamps will satisfy the needs of the most discriminating cooks.
Everything changes. Lifestyles, needs, and for that matter—wants. Sometimes
change happens fast, and at other times it takes a more measured pace. And that
describes the Broan EVOLUTION Series perfectly. A decade ago, Broan's Allure
series set the new standard in undercabinet range hood design. We listened to
what consumers wanted most and wrapped their desires in a revolutionary design.
But as times change, tastes and needs evolve too. That is the impetus behind
Broan EVOLUTION Series. It's what comes next.
Beauty that's meant to be used. Some products beg to be touched, and
rigorously used every day. You can see it in features that work intuitively,
smartly, and prove the design team considered function hand in hand with form.
In the Broan EVOLUTION Series it's easy to see this attention to detail. Lighting
output is dramatically enhanced, and capture effectiveness has improved due
to larger filters (15–40 percent larger). Plus, a sloped bottom design directs
smoke into filters. Smooth surfaces, a fully-enclosed bottom and dishwasher-safe
filters reduce the time needed to keep up with appearances. You can hear the
differences too, complements of a 40 percent reduction in sound. So you can
work beneath it, and entertain beside it. In the Broan EVOLUTION Series, we
built in what matters most.

This range good is extremely quite, very nice brushed stainless and works perfectly !!! Every person that comes into my home will complement this range hood. I would recommend this product to anyone!!! Very satisfied with this item. It's an excellent product for the small amount of the purchase price !!!
Great Hood
By NYJeff
from NYC
Does the job and looks great. Love the lights and variable fan speeds as well as the auto feature on the fan shut off. Glad we bought it. Great customer service from the 800 number. One light bulb went off prematurely after a few weeks and company replaced it free of charge.
Escellent Exhaust Fan, Easy to use
By helhuf
from Woodstock, IL 60098, USA
We love the unit, works great, has a lot of great features. For our kitchen it fits perfect, not to big or small. With the turbo venting it exhaust the smoke fast and helps keep the oven/stove heat down. Easy to clean filters.
By chhb79
from Illinois
This is a very nice range hood--runs well, looks great. It matches my GE Profile appliances perfectly. It's not super quiet on 3, but it's not extremely loud--quiet on 1, a little louder on 2, and not unbearable on 3. The halogen lights do get extremely hot, but guess that is expected. I would like to see different bulbs though. It's a good value for the price. I don't know what other brand I would buy besides Broan.
Excellent product
By Kathy42

I enjoy the flexiability of the lighting options and the fan speeds. It looks great too.
Very good product.

About Me Casual Cook
Comments about Broan Evolution QP2 Series 36" White Under Cabinet Range Hood:
Be aware before buying this hood that it has a tapered height from back to front that results in it sitting at a slight tilt. So if you install it under a cabinet where it sits below the surrounding cabinets, the bottom will appear unnaturally slanted or crooked. A really critical design flaw.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This was an interesting and promising match. Been a good long time since we've seen a balanced, calm yet aggressive attack for an extended period of time from Fulham like the 2nd half of this game. I think it's safe to say this team is a clear 2nd half team. Breakdown time.
The Good:
Chris Baird - Created multiple chances off crosses. Some were good and some were bad, but he didn't give any bad balls away, which is a serious weakness of this team. I really liked how he created opportunities.
John Pantsil - Really the whole defense played well, but I single out Pantsil because he came in for an injured (thank God) Salcido at a moments' notice and played outstanding. Not only was he solid in his own end, but he played back on corners and also, like Baird, had a few nice crosses. I think he earned some more playing time over the disasterous Salcido (more on that later).
The entire attack - Moreso in the 2nd half, this was a renewed attack we haven't seen in a while. Dempsey and Gera had nice headers on the lone goal, Dempsey had a great chance later in the game, and the entire half there were chances. They need to figure out how to finish with more than just Dempsey, but for now I'll take baby steps. I was impressed.
The Bad: There aren't many that really stand out, but outside of Salcido I'll try to nitpick a bit.
Salcido - Ugh. Before getting hurt he did nothing to help the team, and once again completely blew what turned into a goal for the other team. After flopping on Tevez's first goal against Man City, today he charged and completely whiffed at a half-hearted tackle on Alexander Hleb. I'm glad he got hurt. Maybe he'll take his time coming back this time.
Brede Hangeland - I don't think there's any question his defensive skills are outstanding. I've been nothing but impressed by him this season. However, his ball skills may need a bit of sharpening. He had a few silly passes and when challenged he usually concedes the ball quite easily.
The officiating - They did an absolutely horrible job figuring out who touched the ball last on multiple occasions, including one that clearly deflected off Nikola Zigic (by the way, did anyone else watching the game find it funny how Martin Tyler enjoyed saying Zigic's name so much?) but was given as a Birmingham goal kick. There were also a number of challenges on both sides that should have been blown dead but weren't. At least they were consistent in letting them play, but I thought it was poor.
Defining moment - Has to be Dempsey's goal, but I considered Dempsey's missed shot later in the match. Both were the culmination of a lot of nifty successful passing and good opportunity making.
What we learned - This team isn't relegation material. They may not be top half of the board by any means, at least not now, but they are definitely not getting relegated, and I firmly believe that. There are a few teams much worse than them, and Fulham fans can breathe easy in that department. However, they have a lot of work to do to move themselves out of the very bottom of the board. I'm confident going forward, but Fulham have a tough few matches ahead, including at Arsenal next. They'll have to bring their A game. If they can avoid a loss in the next 3 matches vs Arsenal, Sunderland, and Liverpool, I'll be happy. And if they avoid a loss in all 3 of those matches, I believe they will pick up a win in the process. It would be a much needed win.

Happening later this evening, there is a free, public CPR training event here in Tucson, but be aware the CPR used for heart attack is different from the CPR used for drowning.
The UA Sarver Heart Center is putting on the event at the Murphy-Wilmot Library, near Broadway and Wilmot. There will also be a heart health talk happening at the event.
This CPR training session will be teaching 'chest-compression only' CPR, this technique was developed at the U of A and it doubles a person's chance of surviving cardiac arrest, but this is not the technique someone should use after a drowning.
If 'chest-compression only' CPR is used, water does not get cleared from the lungs, rescuers need to give rescue breaths and chest compressions to get the air flowing.
Fire crews tell Tucson News Now the earlier CPR is started the better the outcome, it provides more time to preserve brain and muscle function.
These same crews are not saying that 'chest-compression only' CPR is useless. Hundreds suffer heart attacks everyday and that is when 'chest-compression only' can help.
Learn this special technique tonight, the session is free and doors open at 5:30 p.m.

METAIRIE, La. — Malcolm Jenkins remembers back to earlier in his career and how much of an emphasis takeaways were for then defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.
But while now-defensive coordinator Rob Ryan talks about and has a turnover board on the wall in the defensive meeting room, it's not nearly the same.
"When we used to emphasize it all the time, we used to eat, sleep and breathe turnovers," Jenkins said. "That was when Gregg (Williams) was here. You look at the defense now and really the only guys that were here from Gregg Williams' time is me and Roman (Harper) and everybody else is new.
"We can't assume everybody knows the importance of it and everybody has it."
If they didn't know turnovers were important before, they certainly do now heading into Sunday's pivotal noon NFC showdown at Carolina.
Often coach Sean Payton says the turnover stat is the biggest determiner of wins and losses in the NFL. This season is bearing that out for the Saints.
When New Orleans started the year 6-1 and had built a small lead in the division, they were taking care of the ball (seven giveaways) and stealing it from their opponents (15 takeaways).
As the season has unfolded since Week 8, however, everything has changed. The Saints are now even for the season, turning the ball over 10 times in the past seven weeks while only forcing two turnovers.
After intercepting the ball nine times in the first seven games, New Orleans has intercepted a pass just once since. After forcing 12 fumbles in the opening seven games, the team has forced only three since.
In fact, since Week 8, when the Saints were fourth in the NFL in turnover differential, 31 teams have more takeaways, including 17 with double-digit turns.
"There's something wrong with that and we've got to get that fixed," Saints linebacker Curtis Lofton said. "We've got to give more possessions to our offense."
The offense doesn't get a pass, either.
New Orleans has three more turnovers in the past seven games than in the first seven. It has fumbled the ball four more times than in the first half of the season and lost the loose ball three more times.
Yet, it's the only factor drastically different from the two halves of the season. The Saints are averaging nearly the same yards and third-down conversions on offense and defense in the second half of the season as in the first seven games.
In other words, New Orleans' advantage – Brees on the field with the offense – is taken away when it not turns the ball over, but when it doesn't take the ball away.
"When we have an offense that we do that scores points, it's awesome to get the ball back to them," Lofton said.

4 eggs
1 (1 pound) box light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13 by 9-inch pan with vegetable oil cooking spray and dust with flour.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk. Stir in the brown sugar until smooth. Pour into the top of a double boiler. Cook the mixture over simmering water for 20 minutes, stirring constantly, until it reaches 180 degrees F. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into pieces. Store in an airtight tin in the refrigerator.
I agree with Judy. I made them and it was like something was missing. I made them exactly as the recipe was written. Does anyone have any ideas?

Paula I have to tell you I made the squares for my daughter and she took them to work with her for a snack. When she started to eat one all the other employees came over and wanted to try them. They were a hit. Now when the store has grand opening day at their new location I have been nominated to make them. They were delicious. I love trying your recipes and am never disappointed. Thanks Paula you're a peach.

I recently bought the Paula Dean Pecan Squares Scented Candle. It smells lovely, and the container is the nicest looking container on the market shelf. I will have to make the eatable pecan squares because my grandson wants to eat what smells so good. Please thank Paula Dean for adding the scented candles to her line of products. Another scent to make (if she doesn't already make one ) is Cinnamon Buns or better still Chocolate Chip Cookies.

I had a taste for something chocolate, so I added a cup of melted Nestle semi-sweet chocolate chips. I also subsitued the pecans for walnuts. It was like a homemade brownie, but it was delicious! I made them for family & friends and they loved them!

Wilder believes Oxford United are back on song + match highlights video
Updated 10:09am Monday 20th January 2014 in Sport By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
CHRIS Wilder believes Oxford United are getting closer to top form after their five-game winless run ended with a 1-0 victory at Wycombe Wanderers.
Nicky Wroe's crisp half-volley won the game late on to breach the stubborn Chairboys, who had Steven Craig sent off inside the opening 20 minutes.
It was the moment of magic Wilder bemoaned the U's were lacking in their goalless draw at home to Portsmouth a week earlier.
Coming after an encouraging 2-2 draw at Championship side Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup last Tuesday, the United boss felt the Wycombe victory was another step towards recapturing their pre-Christmas form.
He said: "I thought all the players were getting back to where we were with the Dagenham and Morecambe games.
"We have had a blip over Christmas, but I saw signs against Portsmouth, where every part of the game apart from the final third was good.
"I definitely saw signs at Charlton and at Wycombe we stressed to the players it was important they played well, but that you get the right result. And they did that."
The winning goal was a moment of real quality from Wroe, who is on loan from Preston North End until the end of the season.
With the exception of a short-term deal for Jonathan Henly to cover goalkeeping injuries, Wroe is the only signing United have made in January.
Wilder has not given up hope of making the additions he thinks are needed before the end of the month.
He said: "I'll be trying to work on stuff in terms of getting players in.
"I still think we're a bit light and I've expressed my opinions to the chairman.
"Hopefully we can sit down and address that."
Dave Kitson missed the game with an ankle injury which emerged on the way home from Charlton.
He has had a scan, but at this stage it is not known how long the forward will be on the sidelines.

Wake up Wilder. Half the rouble is you live in a dream world where we are a decent team playing decent football. The reality is, we are average at best and we play hoof ball, rarely creating anything!

Agree with all of the above posters. Although I am one who believes we need new strikers I also think we aren't creative enough, too many long balls, hit and hope rather than proper pass and move football although when we do play pass and move we look good, we really do! We have some of the best players we have had for many a long year and are capable of decent football and should build on this, by that I mean bring in a decent goal poacher and someone who can put in a better final ball into the danger area. I think Kitsons attitude must be questioned as he is now out injured following his ban over the new year period, he really doesn't like playing at this time of year and according to a Reading fan I know never has done. Smalley again showed he is no goal scorer and Beano showed he has re-found his movement off the ball which is good but still has to re-find his goal scoring instinct. Fortunately we have midfielders and defenders who can contribute with goals but we will continue to struggle unless we find a goal scorer quickly. 10 days left in January and still time to find one Mr. Lenagan. We have to dip onto the market if Promotion is to be achieved. Final point, the 6 bookings were stupid, Wroe was obviously delighted to score but both him and Constable need a good talking to over getting booked for over celebrating.

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
I think we all have good intentions of doing fun, memory making activities with our children, or in my case grandchildren. But often, we get busy with life and time passes by and we miss opportunities to do special things with attention to detail.
I recently planned an outdoor tea party for Harper, Molly and Addison. I was almost giddy as ideas came to me and I started taking notes and sketching out the decorations and plans. It was such fun knowing that I was putting together such a special day for the girls that hopefully they will remember for a very long time.
Here's the thing about party planning - using a few simple Fiskars tools combined with bits of craft supplies, it's possible to create really beautiful custom details, with minimal cost. With the tools being nonconsumable, I've used them over and over, not just for crafts or scrapbooking, but many times over and over for entertaining.
I made napkin rings by simply stitching a 4 inch length of velvet ribbon and then accenting with a pattern paper scallop punch and sticker letter representing their initials. The girls were in awe of having their napkin rings personalized. Their ages are 3, 4 and 5 years, so they are all very aware of the letters in their names. Because we used cloth napkins and it was a special day, we even worked on a few manners.
I bought a very inexpensive pack of small paper bags to embellish for their treat bags. I used a Fiskars border punch along the top of the bags to create a more finished look. I embellished with colorful butterfly and flower punches, as well as letter stickers to spell their names. The bags took literally minutes to make, but the girls were truly impressed. They were so simple, that I thought they would be an excellent choice for an even larger gathering.
I created a tissue paper flower wreath using the Circle Template to trace circles that were then layered and added flower by flower to the preformed wreath shape.
Finally, the very homespun pennant banner was made with a vintage cutting quilt and Fiskars pinking scissors and the Circle Template again for the stitched flowers. My very favorite Fiskars tool is my pinking scissors. I couldn't craft without them!
I made the napkin rings, wreath, treat bags and banner all on a Sunday afternoon. So simple. The thing that I was most curious about was how the girls would react to the details. I wondered if they would even notice. Their reaction did not disappoint! Harper saw the table and decor and declared it "a magical tea party". All of them seemed to relish the atmosphere as much as an adult would, if not more! The thing that surprised me more than anything was that they actually noticed EVERY detail. They sat for a long time, totally content with their peanut butter sandwiches, strawberry milk or pink lemonade and custom cookies. We actually had to encourage them to move to the front yard for more photos.
A couple of tips for throwing a little girl's tea party: Invite a preteen to help. I asked our oldest granddaughter Alexis if she would like to help and it made a huge difference. I was able to take photos while she refilled drinks and passed the sandwiches and cookies around. Also, I had the pretty little cookies made by a wonderful local cookie maker, Custom Cookies. She did them according to our color scheme and they were a huge hit and very affordable. The cookie shapes matched the punched shape and colors on the treat bags. Keeping the food simple worked out really well for our party.
I hope this encourages you to make the time to create a memorable day for the little girl's in your life!

Jackson area radio stations raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital.
The 2013 Mississippi Miracles Radiothon wrapped up Friday.
For three days DJs were on the air interviewing patients, parents and medical staff, raising money for the hospital.
Y101, US 96. 3, MIX 98.7 AND JACK FM as well as stations in Vicksburg broadcast live from the Batson Lobby.
"I was first diagnosed with leukemia at age 14, relapsed at age 18 and now I'm 26. Everybody here is like my family all the doctors and nurses. They're great and then I've come to the radiothon every year to raise awareness for the hospital," said Kayla Day Pearman.
"We're just really blessed the way that Mississippians continue to just give despite the news about the economy and sequester and all that kind of think. Mississippi just bends over backwards taking care of the kids. It's just amazing," said DJ Scott Steele with US 96.3.

Water filled tires
Have any of you drained the water from the rear tires? I need to remove the water and calicum from the rear tires on my cub so I can mount the tires on the new rims I bought. Being a stubborn old fart I like to do all my own work, plus save some dollars so I can buy more attachments for my new 55 cub. I plan on using the new/old wheel weights and not filling the tires with water. All suggestions appreciated.
Capt. Paul Ret.
Oswego, NY
I think the calcium might take a special procedure with some sort of retriever pump.
"BUT" if it is only water then you just remove the valve core and let it flow. Put the valve stem at the 6: O`clock on finish drain.
Then came Bronson
Calcium is nasty to handle and very detrimental to the environment. If you can, take the tires to an ag tire dealer and have him pump out the calcium. He can dispose of it properly. It won't cost too much. Then you can remove your tires and re-mount them on your new rims. Tight as I am, I'd spring for new tubes too. You'll never get all of the solution out of the old tubes.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Dittos for bigdoogy. I had a couple of sets pumped out myself. Found a local guy who does it as a side job. $30.00 a pair. Well worth it. I'd replace the tubes for sure also. Never know how old or long that calcium's been there. On the flip side though- loaded tires provide very efficient added traction and with clean rims and new tubes will last for many years. Must remember that a lot of tractors were probably loaded up 30-40 yrs ago. I'm seriously thinking or reloading mine after replacing the tubes. wk
Mike. The calcium stops it from freezing in the very cold weather. Could you imagine having plain water in your tires in zero degree temps? (I guess you wouldn't understand that in Fla!!)
Oh ...... Welcome to the board.
I don't know about that. It definitely adds more weight than plain water.
Jim we used to use it for weight in all of our tractors when I worked for a large landscape company and it also would stop small hole leaks but not a gash or large cut wound.
My boss was sold on the stuff but he made a big mistake when he put it in a skid-steer tires.
Ya`know I might be off base on this calcium subject cause what we used at the time was a special mud slurry and I dont know if it was calcium or what but I remember that it was not cheap and was transfered from tire to tire when changed or repaired.
Then came Bronson
I bought a new tire and tube from my local Goodyear dealer. I told him the tires probably had calcium in them. He looked at me like I was nuts and drained it right in front of the shop. He'll listen the next time. What a mess! By the time I left the hatch cover for the waste oil tank, which is in the ground, was pitted and rusted and he had a nice white line from where he let the water out almost to the street. His remark was that they never used calcium in So. California. My Cub came from New Jersey. Is there anything that will neutralize that stuff?
Always try the easiest thing first.
In my part of the country they used an item called iron balllast in industrial equipment, that was a powder made from tif (barite) and other additives. It was heavier than calcium cloride and wasn't corosive. They mad a slurry version of it, but I never knew of it being used around here. That is probably what your boss was using.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government
to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the
government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
Calcium chloride that is used in tires is a salt, similar to common table salt. It is used for ice control on the roads here in Ohio. It works at lower temperatures than sodium chloride so it is sometimes mixed right in with the road salt. It also works well for dust control for the same reason it destroys rims... it draws water from the air, so it stays wet. The harm to the environment is mostly what it does to leather, and it can kill weeds. It will ruin a good pair of boots quickly. I have several more tractors that I will soon remove it from, and I'll do it in my driveway. This time I'll remember to not wear my good Wolverines.
George Willer
The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog. Ambrose Bierce
As usual George is right on target... The effects of calcium chloride on the environment except on metals is grossly overblown. They apply thousands of tons of it to our northern roads every winter. Sodium Chloride (applied as rock salt) loses most of its effectiveness below about 15 to 20 degrees F. From there on down they use mostly Calcium Chloride. It is also still used on many gravel roads in front of houses in the summer to control dust (it draws moisture).
Calcium chloride will not stop leaks.
To remove it from tires you can jack up the tractor and turn the stem to the top and remove the core or the whole stem insert on two piece stems. Slip a tube over the valve stem and stick the other end in a container like a plastic barrel (a steel barrel will work short term). Or like George drain it out in a driveway away from plants or metal stuff. Don't drain it above a buried iron water pipe. Turn the wheel to place the stem to the bottom and lower the tractor so that the weight will push most of the solution out. To get out what is left I often use my 10 gallon shop vac that has a stainless steel tank and just hold the hose tightly over the stem and suck it out. You can also use a plastic tank shop vac. Be sure to rinse the vac out well with clear water. Flush down the tractor and wheel well also.
Another option is what I often have used on full sized tractor rears. You can buy a stem adapter from most farm stores which can be used for both filling and emptying tires. I pump the fluid out and back in using an old field sprayer pump. The fittings are the same as garden hose threads and I just use a good garden hose. Rinse everything well when done and put oil in the pump. Note: When you use the pump sometimes you get lucky and as it pumps out it will pull the tire away from the bead as it collapses the tire. I always clean and paint the rims when I change a rear tire.

. . . then seared and basted with butter, crushed garlic, and rosemary, now resting on the bone side to even out the cooking. We tore off pieces of baguette and dipped them in the brown butter you see in the pan there--better than the cheese I bought!
Monterey artichokes steaming away with thyme, rosemary, and lemon. We tore off the leaves and dipped them in mayo. I scooped out the chokes, diced the hearts, and put them in the vierge with about half a metric ton of genovese basil.
The vierge before I added the artichoke and basil--enough garlic in there to keep mosquitoes and probably even vampires away from my great-grandchildren.

Alex sparks author's visit
9:00am Sunday 5th January 2014 in News By Freya Leng
THREE classes at The Cotswold School enjoyed a visit from an awardwinning author thanks to a forward-thinking student.
Eleven-year-old Alex Hope took her homework to the next level after English teacher Laura Sewell set her and her fellow students a research homework task while studying Feather Boy.
Little did she expect that the Year 7 student would contact author Nicky Singer directly wanting to know if there were any autobiographical facts in the book.
"I thought I'd see if she replied," she said. "I didn't expect she would."
But the author did and offered to come in and talk to the youngster and her classmates and even gave them signed copies of The Flask and Feather Boy.
Miss Sewell, who invited Alex to meet the author before her class, said: "She was a little star struck.
"Alex proved that if you do have initiative you can take a task as far as you want to."

Kerry Kennedy asks for dismissal of drugged-driving case
WHITE PLAINS - Kerry Kennedy has asked the court again for the dismissal of a drugged-driving case against her.
Kennedy appeared Thursday at a pre-trial conference in Westchester County Court.
The ex-wife of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and daughter of Robert F. Kennedy was arrested for side-swiping a tractor-trailer on I-684. Kennedy left the scene and later claimed she accidentally took a sleeping pill.

Her case was moved from North Castle Town Court to Westchester County Court because the defense said the town's meeting room was too small for the high-profile trial.
A tentative trial date was set for Feb. 24.

Lindburg is accused of first-degree sexual assault and child abuse between January and September 2010. Lindburg served as Hemingford's police chief from November 2006 until he resigned without explanation in November 2011.
Lindburg also worked as a Box Butte County Deputy Sheriff for seven years and helped start a youth center in Hemingford in 2008.

An Awesome Wedding Program
Vision of Love Tea-length Tri-fold Programs We absolutely love our wedding program! Being able to personalize the content and aspects of the design made the experience that much more memorable and unique. We utilized a black and white theme for our wedding stationery - we also used the Vision of Love wedding invitation; therefore the Vision of Love program was perfect for us. The final product and print quality were flawless and we were truly impressed with the exceptional quality. The premium paper, the design and the black and white theme went very well together and this resulted in a program that our guests really loved. Overall this has been another great experience with Magnet Street. Thank you.
Ceremony Programs
Vision of Love Half-fold Programs I picked the half fold "Vision of Love" for my wedding programs and used a picture of our "first date" for the front photo and when they were delivered I was WOW'd at how beautiful they looked. Very elegant and classy (like myself) I would recommend these programs to any BRIDE that wants to top off her ceremony with class. My mother thought they would make a nice keepsake so she ordered an additional 25 more!!! LOL!!!
Get ready for LOTS of Compliments!
Vision of Love Tea-length Tri-fold Programs Again "Vision of Love" has given me alot of compliments. The Program itself is beautiful! Very good Print and photo quality. The only thing is I wish the paper was a tad thicker. Production was very fast. I ordered 375 and had 2nd day shipping and it was here 7 days later. Overall gorgeous product and you won't be dissapointed!
Beautiful card
Vision of Love Tea-length Tri-fold Programs Very elegant... Created my own design and it looked perfect
Vision of Love Half-fold Programs The print quality came out beautiful. The design program itself was not difficult to use, although it did have a few quirks. The only issue I had with the whole process, is the default font on the front title where the name goes was odd. It would display nicely in the editor, but then when you saved the changed, it changed the font on the previewer. Specifically, the letter S would look like a T. We ultimately just changed the font all together and it looked and printed as it did in the editor and previewer. The one question I had about it was if the front picture did wrap like a centimeter onto the back page (as it shows in the previewer). It indeed does. So if you are wondering about it, it does print out exactly like the previewer shows. I would highly recommend this program, it printed out just as it showed in the preview. The paper came out high quality, and the printing was exceptional. The shipping and processing was also quick. Overall, I would highly recommend using magnet street and this program specifically was perfect for us.

Item Details
- Width:
7 1/2" Inches
- Height:
5" Inches
- Depth:
5" Inches
- Period:
19th Century
- Origin:
This exquisite tea caddy contains two interior compartments for holding different types of tea leaves. Tea was introduced to England from China sometime in the middle of the 17th century and quickly became an expensive and popular item. The country's respect for this drink is reflected in the ceremonial way in which it was stored, prepared, and drunk. Tea connoisseurship developed into something of an art form among the elite, and accordingly, more than one type of tea was necessary for refined palettes. Double chests such as this could hold two types of leaves, usually one green and one black variety.

This is one back-to-back the Indiana Pacers should welcome. The Pacers play the Washington Wizards a day after a brutal showing against the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden.
The Pacers held on to beat the Wizards 89-85 back on November 10th and the Wiz remain winless heading into the tip on Monday night at the Verizon Center. So while the Pacers should be motivated to make up for lost time in New York, the Wizards will have even more motivation as they try to avoid a franchise worst 0-9 start in front of their home fans.
Sounds like some great entertainment, no? Well, I guess desperation can bring out some entertaining basketball, I just hope the Pacers actually play like they are desperate to win.
For more on the Wizards, check out Bullets Forever. Also, chime in with your thoughts and observations in the comments. Hopefully the technical issues bogging down the site during the Knicks game are resolved for good. My apologies for the frustrations some of you felt.

Photographers face copyright threat after shock ruling
UK souvenir maker Temple Island Collection Ltd has won a ruling against New English Teas which it had accused of breaching copyright by using a photo of a London bus on its packaging.
Welcoming the news, Temple Island Collection�s managing director Justin Fielder � who shot the image in August 2005 and then manipulated it using Photoshop � said: �As creator of the Red Bus image, and originators of the product concept, we gave New England Teas the opportunity to license with us and work collaboratively, but this was declined.�
The case, heard at the Patents County Court in London on 12 January, could have serious implications for photographers, according to photographic copyright expert Charles Swan, a lawyer at Swan Turton, who said: �His honour Judge Birss QC decided that a photograph of a red London bus against a black and white background of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, with a blank sky, was similar enough to another photograph of the same subject matter to infringe copyright.�
He added: �The decision is perhaps surprising, given the commonplace subject matter of the photographs. The judge himself admitted that he found it a difficult question, but in the end he decided that a substantial part of photograph one [Temple Island's image] had been reproduced in photograph two [New English Teas'].�
Swan warned: �The Temple Island case is likely to herald more claims of this kind. The judgement should be studied by anyone imitating an existing photograph or commissioning a photograph based on a similar photograph.
'�Inspiration� and �reference� are fine in themselves, but there is a line between copying ideas and copying the original expression of ideas which is often a difficult one to draw.�
Though, in the past, the cost of such court actions has made them �uneconomic to pursue� this is all about to change, added Swan. �The UK government has accepted a recommendation in the Hargreaves Report that the Patents County Court� should operate a small claims procedure for intellectual property claims under �5,000.�
Though the images are not identical, the judge ruled that Fielder�s composition of the image, to include such features as the �visual contrast� of the bright red bus and monochrome background, were the photographer�s �intellectual creation�.

Symbian Reviews 20 Reviews
- Pros
There was a real focus on the software, and keeping the engineers happy. More so than I have ever seen at any other company.Cons
Under resourced. Our internal and external customers asked for a lot - there was always too much to do, and not enough time to do it in.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Overall a fine job. We had a vision of the way forward, and apart from minor issues along the way, we tended to execute that vision.RecommendsApproves of CEO
"Good lifestyle, poor pay "

pay/compensation is below average
middle management are often flaky
attitude towards promotion/work reviews isn't greatAdvice to ManagementAdvice

"Compensation and benefits good, managers need improvement. "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
The compensation is at least comparable with similar London-based companies, at least in Information Systems. ~This may be due to the presence of city-based companies (i.e. financial institutions) in the vicinity - although it will be interesting to see how their difficulties at present influence Symbian's compensation packages.
The benefits are good, especially medical insurance, which a number of people I know have made use of.
Management attitude to work/life balance is favourable, and it is always possible to take time off for necessities & emergencies.
The work is often interesting and challenging - although not always so!Cons
IS management are definitely not people-oriented, and seem to make a habit of putting their foot in their mouth every time they try to make an announcement. Furthermore, one or two in particular seem to go out of their way to avoid exchanging even a single word with some of their staff. I'm sure that some middle managers don't even know who some of their staff are, despite working yards away from them!Advice to ManagementAdvice
Please try to get managers with properly developed people skills. And please stop avoiding peoples' difficult questions about the future.Disapproves of CEO
"Great people, nice place for techies, salary could be better. "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
Working atmosphere:
Friendly atmosphere. Graduates are treated great and get to form great relationships.
Work/life balance:
Flexible working hours and management is supportive when you need to be absent for medical/personal reasons.
Great people. Lots of drinks, social events. Chance to propose your own social events/sports.
Office environment:
The office environment depends on the floor you work at. The "worst" floors are going through major refurbishment though.
There are hopefully going to be loads of opportunities now that we are becoming part of Nokia.Cons
Graduates seem to be stack with the graduate group that they joined. There are a lot of people that joined 5-10 years ago and form the core of the company. There is a great gap between them and the new joiners.
Not enough information about different opportunities and career paths within the company.Advice to ManagementAdvice
-No opinion of CEO
"Enjoyable place to work, but management competency varies between teams, and not best for graduate salary. "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
Working atmosphere:
Friendly and relaxed atmosphere (no dress code) where people are hired for their talent and then trusted to do a good job.
Work/life balance:
Flexible working hours and 5 weeks' holiday plus opportunity to buy/sell 5 days' holiday make for a good work-life balance.
Senior management:
Senior management bring a clear direction and positive vision to the company and the company's success is well communicated to employees leading to us feeling proud of what we achieve.
The people are great and we regularly head down the pub for drinks after work because we all enjoy each other's company. There are also team days out and a sports and social club which organises company events.
Office environment:
There is an office redecoration program in place and Symbian doesn't underestimate the importance of a good working enviroment. Free tea, coffee and fruit!
Overall benefits:
Good stakeholder pension with company contribution, healthcare plan, free phone, season ticket loan, childcare vouchers, amongst others.Cons
Job security:
The main downside at the moment for employees is that we are about to be taken over by Nokia which naturally leads to fears about job security and uncertainty about what sort of work we will be doing in the future. Additionally, Motorola have just pulled out of making Symbian phones so we have recently lost a major client.
The pay for graduates is comparable to that on grad schemes in other industries but within the software industry it is lower than many. I am not confident that the compensation situation is likely to improve in the near future, unless I leave and rejoin which is supposed to be the best way of obtaining a pay rise at Symbian.
Feedback/career development:
I don't believe it is that easy for graduates to progress in their career at Symbian, other than developing a technical specialisation. A few will make it to e.g. tech lead, technical architect or project manager but I believe managers generally have a preconceived idea of who is naturally "the best fit" for such a job, rather than encouraging everyone with some relevant strengths and some weaknesses to develop to the level where they would be able to apply.
Few line managers I have come across have been very interested in providing career development advice or opportunities for their reports to develop the skills they need to progress (or even giving feedback on what they believe those skills are) - for instance, in my department, appraisals are frequently conducted late, or even not at all. Having spoken to people who used to work in my department but left, I know it's not just me who thinks this.
However, having said all that, I'd say my department is worse than most at taking career development seriously, and there are a mentoring scheme and plenty of formal training courses available, an internal job board to see what else is available, and the opportunity to do secondments (though those have dried up a bit at the moment what with the Nokia acquisition), so it's not all bad, but you need to be prepared to take responsibility for your own development.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Consistency between teams (singing from the same hymn sheet):
I think that there are plenty of good improvement schemes happening within Symbian, but with the company growing at the rate it is, more needs to be done to ensure change initiatives are taken seriously across the whole company and rolled out in a consistent way - at the moment it seems to me there is plenty of variation between departments and line managers.
While there are good channels for feedback from employees to senior management (employee satisfaction survey, sounding board) which is acted upon in a top-down way, I would also like to see more of a bottom-up feedback culture where employees can give feedback to and via managers.RecommendsApproves of CEO
"Graduate pay is much too low and rises disrespecfully slowly. "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
Symbian is a great company with very talented people. A Software Engineer can make a real impact on people's lives with over 200million devices out there. There is a great graduate scheme with brilliant recruitment process - The best I've ever experinced in any Tech company. There are good benefits in general with 5 weeks paid holiday and a 5% company bonus. Possible to become an expert in a certain area very quickly. Current employees about to become Nokia employees which can only be a good thing. Very relaxed atmosphere. market leaders. need eight more words to fill this box.Cons
Pay within Symbian is very substandard. Graduates salaries do not reflect the technical nature of the jobs they do, with graduates in certain "lesser" teams being promoted before those in better teams where the technical side of the role is substantially harder. (Kernel verses System Test).
There is no salary negotiations, with the CFO dictating pay rises (or lack thereof considering inflation).Advice to ManagementAdvice
Treat graduates with more respect in terms of salary and grades P1 to P2 should be considerably higher pay increase.
LMs should be gunning for promotions for graduates, not scolding them when they ask for a pay rise.RecommendsApproves of CEO
"Good Place to Work and Grow. Bad and Old Technology for Operating Systems. "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
There are some stupid managers BUT, if you are lucky enough, you can find some superb manager that will help you grow skill and career wise. And you have a certain degree of "possibility to move around", so you would be likely to change manager and, so, try different ones.
The company, even if relatively small, is structured as a big one, with all the services and processes that are important to manage correctly (and fairly) people.Cons
There are only very few young managers: this made the company being stuck on their dominance position for too long, and today it's going to sink while other companies are entering the market with fresh, modern, new products.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Innovation should be, sometime, rewrite stuff from scratch: Symbian had ages to do that, but the company always preferred to focus on "binary compatibility".
With all the people hired, it would have been possible to focus on Binary Compatibility AND start a complete new Operating System.RecommendsDisapproves of CEO
"Good brand, but uncertaininty due to recent news about Symbian Foundation "

Good brand to work in the industry. Symbian is widely known brand and a global company. It provides great opportunity to work in one of the most dynamic industry.
Likely to be taken over by Nokia i.e., opportunity to work for the largest mobile phone manufacturer.
Good senior leadership team.Cons
Far too many changes. There has been number of changes being introduced, employees are losing the commitment to a change - because the change will be replaced by another one!
Limited growth opportunities. Though Symbian is growing, external applicants seems to be given priority compare to internal applicants.

The calibre of the majority of other employees. The presence of a strong social programme. A good benefits package. The training opportunities for non-technical competencies is very good and applying and being accepted for training courses is automated and rarely declined. Communication of company news via monthly team briefs is excellent and most welcome.Cons
The difficulty of removing less than stellar employees. Some of the communication is inconsistent - not all teams get the same level of quality of information cascade.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Aggressively continue the current programme of improvements. Information in team cascades could be made more interesting and relevant to the engineering teams.RecommendsApproves of CEO
