Bayern's Ribery eyes Champions League history
France winger Franck Ribery has said Bayern Munich aim to become the first team to defend the Champions League title and is backing the Bavarian giants to win another treble.
No side has ever retained the Champions League title since the competition replaced the European Cup format in 1992.
Bayern became Germany's first team to scoop the treble of Champions League, German Cup and Bundesliga titles last season.
Having drawn Arsenal in the last 16 of this season's Champions League, Ribery has said Pep Guardiola's side can lift the title again in the May 24 final at Lisbon's Estadui da Luz, home of Benfica.
The Bundesliga resumes after a four-week winter break on Friday with third-placed Borussia Moenchengladbach hosting leaders Bayern, who are seven points clear at the top of the table.
Bayern finished 2013 with five titles, adding the UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup to their treble, but Ribery says they face a challenge to do it all again this year.
"We want to have just as successful a year as 2013 despite the fact that it will definitely be harder," Ribery told Bundesliga.com.
"I believe it's possible though.
"We have an incredible amount of untapped potential at FC Bayern.
"We're capable of retaining our status as German champions, but also of winning the German Cup and becoming the first-ever team to defend our Champions League title.
"We want to continue winning everything and create even more history."
Bayern are on a record 41-match unbeaten run, dating back to October 2012, and Ribery said they want to finish the current season unbeaten.
"My aim is to become German champions without suffering a single defeat," said the 30-year-old.
Bayern also travel to VfB Stuttgart on Wednesday for a re-arranged fixture and play three league games in ten days.
"We've got two difficult games ahead of us, including next Wednesday's clash with VfB Stuttgart," said Ribery.
"We're determined to win both games to enjoy a positive start to the new year and to send out a message."

One year after Vladislav Baumgertner blasted the global potash market wide open, the now ex-Uralkali CEO's predictions seem to be playing itself out.
Gold assets among favourites.
Glencore CEO Ivan Glasenberg strikes positive note after announcing jump in profits, output and better trading conditions at Swiss commodities giant.
Chief Executive Officer Andrew Mackenzie said the project ramains in BHP's main plans, but added the firm is not in a rush to develop it.
The division contributed just $746 million of the $21.12 billion earnings BHP reported for the 2013 financial year.
Speculation is of a new Perth-based company with current CFO Graham Kerr at the helm housing non-core assets including Australian lead-silver mine.
Decision to to lob off Billiton assets could come as early as next week.
Index gained 9% from April to June, outperforming the S&P/TSX Composite index, which gained 6%, and the London Metal Exchange index, which gained 7% in the same period.
CEO says company "well set" to advance project.
Trend of mine production moving to emerging economies will continue.
If you've priced potash lately, you've noticed prices haven't come down. Prices jumped last fall due to short supply, but they have yet to soften.
Operations at Agrium's Vanscoy potash mine in Saskatchewan will remain suspended after a mechanical failure on its main hoist system on July 25.
The potential mine could generate $2 billion worth of royalties for the province over the course of 40 years, and sustain close to 600 jobs.
AIM-listed African Potash Ltd Tuesday said that it has begun drilling at its Lac Dinga Potash Project in the Republic of Congo.
Cost reduction measures in the mining industry could well have undermined the sector's productivity, which remains down, according to a new EY report.
Last year's fertilizer price plunge called strategy into question.
According to the company, the mine will employ about 1,800 workers during construction and generate 1,000 permanent jobs once opened.
The drilling program at the miner's Captain Cook salt/potash deposit in Western Newfoundland will consist of two holes.
As BHP considers the sale of almost all of the businesses that Billiton brought to the 2001 merger deal, experts say the firm is likely to end up leaving London.
This is big news as it proves once again the strong working relationship between Potash Ridge [and the State agencies of Utah, USA.
While it did not disclose the costs and planned capital expenditure for the Albany project, Rio has previously said the deposit had enough potash to sustain a low cost operation for decades.
The exclusivity agreement, which expired last week, would have given BHP the right to develop a potash port close to its Jansen project.
Net profits from progressing economies-based miners reached $24 billion in 2013, compared to a net loss of $4 billion for developed market firms.
This represents a significant permitting milestone for the Utah, United States-based project.,
The company is temporarily extending operations at its Penobsquis mine in New Brunswick, citing tight conditions in the granular potash market.
World's largest mining company said to be unloading all of the non-core units acquired after the merger with Billiton 13 years ago.

IMFs Trade and Investment related advice to Arab countries: Trends and implications
This paper is one in a series of papers published by the Arab NGO Network for development (ANND) as part of its work on monitoring IFIs' policies in the Arab region.This work falls within ANND's aims of strengthening the analysis and research on public policies in the Arab region, in addition to supporting the process of building a strong role for civil society in developing alternatives, specifically on the economic and social fronts, based on choices that are rooted in the local and national priorities and needs. The following paper focuses on the IMF's structural policy advice to Arab countries, which is one dimension of the policy advice presented to governments in the region along macroeconomic policy advice. The paper and the figures it presents focus on trends in middle-income non-oil exporting counties. The paper gives an overview of the challenges of production, wages, poverty, and inequalities in the Arab region. It reviews the narrative of the IMF post the revolutions in the Arab countries and discusses the IMF's role in the area of trade and investment policies.
Arab uprisings and Social Justice, implications of IMF subsidy reform policies
This paper traces the evolution of IMF recommendations on fuel and food subsidies from the onset of the global financial crisis (2007-2008) through the aftermath of the 2011 Arab uprisings. During this period, the IMF has intensified its calls for the reduction of food and, in particular, fuel subsidies in the MENA. In addition to conducting a comprehensive review of IMF staff reports from 2007 to 2013, the authors of this paper interviewed representatives of over 11 development and human rights-focused organizations based in Jordan, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, and Yemen.4 By consulting civil society perspectives, this paper seeks to highlight the concerns of societies in the Arab region over the socio-economic consequences of IMF-backed subsidy reforms.
The aim of this publication is to contribute to the important debates and adoption of strategies on freedom of association, including in its connection with other rights like freedom of peaceful assembly, opinion, and expression. This document is meant to be a Toolkit for advocacy. It is not a comprehensive review of the current situation in the Middle East and North Africa. The document is issued as part of the "Arab Freedom of Association Network" project jointly administered by the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) and the Arab NGO Network for Development (ANND). It therefore uses examples mainly from the countries that this project focuses on, namely Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, and Yemen. Examples from other Arab countries are sometimes used. This document is structured to define the international standards first, then describe the current problems in the region, and end with suggestions to overcome these issues through campaigning strategies.
Arab Watch on Economic and Social Rights
This report was prepared by ANND in cooperation with its member from 10 Arab countries. It is considered a result of the new direction that was followed after the revolution outbreak in the region. It is the first report of the Arab Watch for social and economic rights. This English issue include regional reports through which ANND provide civil society organizations with the resources to develop their direction and negotiate with other stakeholders to adopt appropriate policies

The James Dyson Award 2013 has opened its doors to young

The minster for security, James Brokenshire,

Brokenshire was speaking today to announce the launch of what
the Home Office dubs the Cyber Crime Reduction Partnership, a
collaborative effort between law enforcement agencies, security
experts and academics with the aim of tackling the problem of
"organised and global" cybercrimine. According to the minister,
these cybercriminals are increasingly organised, "selling
'off-the-shelf' software to aid gangs in exploiting the public".
However, the Communications Data Bill's part in that crime
prevention strategy is already controversial, and its core proposal
-- deep packet inspection of all of the UK's web traffice --
remains. Continue reading
Heart beating like a drum? Make the drum beat like your heart.
BioBeats is an app that uses your iOS device to detect your heart

BioBeats, the London-based company behind the app. As part of the

If we want a more sustainable world, achieved through and driven

with design consultancy firm Fjord.
Changing the conversation is key, but it's part of a bigger nut
we've not yet cracked -- the human element that will turn big ideas
into uptake and real change. Continue reading
On 3 February, 2013, Balkanleaks released the "Buddha
dossier", a massive trove of secret documents from the national
police archive.
The cache was the Bulgaria-based transparency
site's most significant release so far this year.
It underscored suspicions that the country's prime
minister, Boyko Borisov, had ties to organized crime.
The biggest reveal was that Borisov was floated in the mid-1990s
as a possible informant against his alleged and widely assumed
contacts in the world of Bulgarian organised crime. On 21 February
-- just 18 days after the Balkanleaks release -- Borisov resigned
in the face of widespread corruption allegations and rising energy
prices. Continue reading
There is a "valley of death" in the UK that prevents science and
technology research from being commercialised and needs to be
bridged, according to a report by the House of Commons
Science and Technology Committee.
The valley of death is the point where a business, often a
technology business, has a working prototype for a product or
service that has not yet been developed enough to earn money
through commercial sales. The company needs money to continue to
develop the prototype to test the market and generate revenues.
High-growth companies help to generate jobs and wealth, a key focus
for government. The report highlights a number of ways to improve
this by creating closer ties between universities and business, as
well as between big businesses and small businesses.
Remember Pierce Brosnan's remote-controlled BMW
in Tomorrow Never Dies? A group of Russian tinkerers

The crew hailing from Tula Oblast installed a range
of actuators, controllers and electronics into the Opel, along with
a new brake actuator, steering motor, accelerator controller and
gear shift for the transmission. All of it connects wirelessly to
an iPad, and according to the developers, this setup can be
duplicated on any car with an in-line automatic transmission shift
gate. Continue reading

Capitalism means that there is much more research into male

"The malaria vaccine in humanist terms is the biggest need. But it

because of the voice in the marketplace than something like

A Note on Ordinally Equivalent Pareto Surfaces
AbstractAssuming at least three individuals and some regularity conditions, we construct a set S* of Pareto surfaces which is an "ordinal basis" of the set S of all surfaces: every surface in S is ordinally equivalent to some surface in S* and all surfaces in S* are ordinally distinct.

Does Europe Like Bikes More Than New York?
Thursday, April 14, 2011
(Kate Hinds and Nancy Solomon, Transportation Nation) Since 2006, New York City has added 250 miles of bike lanes in an effort, Mayor Bloomberg says, to improve traffic, air quality, and ultimately, public health. But while polls show support for bike lanes, opposition has been loud -- and vehement -- around the city. So WNYC's Transportation Nation team got to wondering: do Europeans just like biking more than New Yorkers?
We spoke to Danes and New Yorkers to see if we could figure this out.
On a recent trip to Aarhus -- Denmark's second largest city -- all of the guests at a dinner party have kids, cycle to work and do most errands by bike, even though each family owns a car. Lars Villemoes said he prefers to bike even when it's raining.
"It's a really good feeling, I love it in the morning, I go faster every morning and I love it when I see the line of cars and I just go past them, that's such a good feeling," he said.

"The safety has to be considered because in order to take your children you have to be absolutely safe about this," said his friend Lone Maribo. She added: "And I think taking your children is the first step to changing the culture, isn't it?"
The culture she is referring to is not just a small subculture. Eighteen percent of Danish commuters bike to work. Busy thoroughfares have bike lanes separated by a curb and traffic lights just for bikes. The lanes get a steady flow of cyclists -- young, old, women, white collar workers in suits -- and the story is the same in Holland and Germany.

Brooklyn Community Board To Vote on PPW Bike Lane Modifications Tonight
Wednesday, April 13, 2011
(Kate Hinds, Transportation Nation) At tonight's Community Board 6 meeting in Brooklyn, among the many items on the agenda is a vote on whether to support the New York City Department of Transportation's proposed revisions to the Prospect Park West bike lane. These include the installation of raised pedestrian median islands, the installation of rumble strips, and the configuration of the Ninth Street loading zone.
The community board will also be making some suggestions of its own, like asking the DOT to reconsider the signalization of the bike lane and adding louvers on the flashing yellow signals so only bicyclists, not motorists, would see them.
The board would also like the DOT to identify opportunities to restore some parking spaces. "I think parking was probably one of the biggest issues on our residents' minds," said Craig Hammerman, the district manager for Community Board 6, who said that the board would like to DOT to "consider changing the configuration of some of the traffic islands. Instead of being these 70 - to 80- foot-long safety zones, that they instead be potentially cut in half to allow for parking spaces in between."
You can read the resolution here.
Before the meeting even starts, Jim Walden, the attorney for the group suing to remove the bike line, is sending a letter to be read at tonight's meeting. Walden says he'd like the board to defer voting on the lane's reconfiguration until "after a full and meaningful discussion about alternative configurations, which will include more pointed questions for DOT about the various decisions it made to 'sell' a dangerous bike lane to your community."

Senator Diaz Introduced License Plate Bill That He Would Benefit From
Wednesday, April 06, 2011
(Kate Hinds, Transportation Nation) At yesterday's New York State Senate Transportation Committee meeting, nine pieces of legislation were on the agenda. Three of those bills were sponsored by State Senator Ruben Diaz, a Bronx Democrat who is a clergyman himself. Two of those dealt with distracted driving. The third, however, aimed to give members of the clergy special license plates.
According to the bill's text: "Clergy who are called to visit hospitals, jails, nursing homes or homebound seniors often find it difficult or impossible to park. In order to perform their pastoral duties they need reasonable access to those places. These plates would provide notification to any law enforcement personnel that the car owner is a member of the clergy. The "Clergy" license plate will not enable the holder to violate any local parking or traffic regulations."
To be sure, State Senators introduce bills all the time in Albany, and this kind of thing can happen so frequently that it barely raises eyebrows when it shows up in the Senate calendar, which is where we found it.
But parking policy shapes urban life. We recently wrote about how the state is continuing to issue parking placards, despite the Cuomo administration's promise to end "business as usual." And today the New York Daily News is reporting that an investigation has found widespread parking placard abuse.
So why would Senator Diaz sponsor legislation that would give clergy special license plates -- especially when he himself is a member of the clergy? (Diaz is the founder and pastor of the Christian Community Neighborhood Church in the Bronx.)
According to its website, The New York City Department of Transportation already offers members of the clergy parking permits, which allow parking near houses of worship, hospitals, and funeral homes.
We reached Senator Diaz to ask him about the bill -- and if he thought introducing it might represent a conflict of interest. "Did it pass?" he asked. When told that the bill failed in committee, he said "there's nothing to talk about -- it didn't pass." When pressed about whether he'd introduce it again, he repeated "there's nothing to talk about now," and then said goodbye.
It turns out that the Transportation Committee didn't support the legislation, which failed by a vote of 12 to six (you can see the list of who voted how here) -- because of a pending US district court decision about the New York State Department of Motor Vehicle's moratorium on distinctive license plates.
You can watch a video of part of yesterday's committee meeting below; the legislation about license plates is dealt with at about a minute in.
Union Leader: On Transit, First Two Years of Obama No Different from Bush
Wednesday, April 06, 2011
(Kate Hinds, Transportation Nation) On the day that President Obama formally kicked off his reelection campaign, the amount of work the president has to do to energize his former allies came into stark relief. (More on what the administration is doing further down in this post.)
Speaking at a breakfast at the Transportation Equity Network's annual conference, Amalgamated Transit Union president Larry Hanley ticked off a list of urban transit systems that slashed service during the first two years of Obama's presidency: New York, Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh... "This administration was indistinguishable from the prior one with respect to transit operating aid," said Hanley. He said he was grateful for the new money budgeted for transit -- but wanted to know "what can we do…to get the president to recognize publicly that what's happening to transit is a national crisis and we need collectively to elevate this on the national agenda?"
Seated near him at the dais Deputy Secretary of the US DOT John Porcari responded that the federal government doesn't control local government decisions.
"When you look at how a transportation reauthorization bill actually gets passed," he said, "it's not from the top down...we are going to push as hard as we can, but it's from the bottom up. It's the mayor, county commissioners, and the governors, articulating their needs." To fund the bill, he told the crowd of civil rights, union, and transit advocates, "you need to push that and you need to make sure that your elected officials at the local and state level are making that clear to your congressional delegation. That's what brings the bill home."
But what funds the bill is not as clear. Speaking later in the day at the conference's lunchtime event, Federal Transit Administrator Peter Rogoff said:
US DOT: 24 States, DC and Amtrak All Want Florida's HSR Money
Wednesday, April 06, 2011
(Kate Hinds, Transportation Nation) The federal Department of Transportation just sent out a press release listing the applicants vying for a piece of Florida's rejected $2.4 billion in high-speed rail funds. More analysis later - but you can read the release below.
Statement of U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood on High-Speed Rail
Washington, DC – U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood issued the following statement today regarding the $2.4 billion available for High-Speed Rail:
"Today, we are another step closer to delivering an innovative, national transportation network that brings new jobs and economic opportunity to the American people. Since I announced the availability of an additional $2.4 billion for high-speed rail projects, governors and members of Congress have been clamoring for the opportunity to participate. That's because they know that high-speed rail will deliver tens of thousands of jobs, spur economic development across their communities and create additional options for their citizens as the country's population grows. We have received more than 90 applications from 24 states, the District of Columbia and Amtrak for projects in the Northeast Corridor, with preliminary requests totaling nearly $10 billion dollars. We are extremely pleased to see the bipartisan enthusiasm behind all of the requests to get into the high-speed rail business. Thanks to President Obama's bold vision for a national high speed rail network, we will win the future for America."
Additional background:
Showing bi-partisan support for President Obama's High-Speed Rail program, 24 states, the District of Columbia and Amtrak (for projects in the Northeast Corridor) submitted just under $10 billion in funding requests.
|Rhode Island
|South Carolina
|District of Columbia
|North Carolina
|New Mexico
|New York
The application period for the $2.4 billion of high-speed rail money closed on April 4. Now, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) will begin its official review of the applications. A merit-driven process will be used to award the newly available high-speed rail dollars to projects that can deliver public and economic benefits quickly. A project's ability to reduce energy consumption, improve the efficiency of a region's overall transportation network, and generate sustained economic activity along the corridor are among the selection criteria. At this time, a date for the announcement of project selections has not been determined. Information about the Notice of Funding Availability can be found here: http://www.fra.dot.gov/rpd/passenger/477.shtml.
President Obama's vision is to connect 80 percent of Americans to high-speed rail within the next 25 years. To put America on track towards that goal, the Obama Administration has proposed a six-year, $53 billion plan that will provide rail access to new communities; improve the reliability, speed and frequency of existing lines; and, where it makes economic sense, build new corridors where trains will travel at speeds of up to 250 miles per hour.
The Obama Administration's investments in high-speed rail are also projected to create hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs in the United States. Jobs will be created both directly in manufacturing, construction and operation of rail lines, and indirectly, as the result of economic developments along rail corridors.
A "Buy America" requirement for high-speed rail projects also ensures that U.S. manufacturers and workers will receive the maximum economic benefits from this federal investment. And, in 2009, Secretary LaHood secured a commitment from 30 foreign and domestic rail manufacturers to employ American workers and locate or expand their base of operations in the U.S. if they are selected for high-speed-rail contracts.

I just wanted to comment on the phenomenal customer service from OverStock.com I will look here first in the future. Let me just say to the poster that commented several times how happy and proud he was that this Brandon sofa, and chairs were made in the USA. They are not . They are manufactured in China. The company selling them isn't even a US company. It is Canadian That said - they sell beautiful sofas and top notch leather. These are outstanding sofas at a super price andv OverStock is a great company.
This is even more beautiful than depicted on the site. The chairs are very large scale, so check your space and plan accordingly. Very comfortable set. To learn that it was made in the USA was a big bonus to me. My only complaint is that the matching ottoman was not available and that would have made it perfect! The color is very rich and luxurious and looks perfect in my lodge decor lake home.
Recently purchased the sofa and two chairs of this product. Surprisingly, it only took about two and a half weeks for the delivery. The furniture is very nice, richly colored and definitely has the distinct smell of real leather. All pieces were a bit stiff at first but have broken in nicely. The chairs were a little larger than what I expected, but not a deal breaker at all. Have received many compliments from friends and family. First time ordering furniture online but I was not disappointed in this product. If you have been debating on purchasing this furniture, go ahead and get it, it is well worth it for the price. Speaking of the price, I had been keeping my eye on this set for some time now and have noticed it has gone up in price over XXX dollars since I purchased it. Having said that, it is still less expensive than leather you will find in local furniture stores for the same quality. My recommendation if you are looking for leather furniture and don't want to spend an arm and a leg is to make this your purchase. You'll be glad you did!
We furnished a rental cabin with this sofa and two chairs and were pleasantly surprised when they arrived. The color was as stated and the cushioned softened up with use. I am very pleased with my purchase.
Loved the sofa. The color is fabulous!!!!! The comfort is good. The chairs look massive due to the large seats and humungous arms. The sofa doesn't look as massive due to the overall size of the sofa. Delivery was excellent. The sofa came soon after I ordered it, within a couple weeks. The only difficulty was there was no way to estimate the delivery date. I got a call the night before and had to move quickly to prepare.
Delivery was good, product was as described. Just wish there was an option to purchase ottomans to match
For what you are paying, you simply cannot beat the value. Everywhere else I looked, the next price was easily double, for less pieces. This is indeed a gorgeous set. I am really suspicious the sides and back are bonded leather, however, the furniture does look nice. The feel of the leather was a bit stiff when it arrived, but did soften once I dusted the pieces and then put Weiman's leather cleaner and polish on everything. The exception to the softening, were the back and sides. Again, it is an excellent value and a beautiful set.

Is it Time to Talk About My ADHD? Am I Ready for Treatment?
Wondering whether to seek treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from a psychiatrist? Unsure how to talk about ADHD with loved ones? So is adult ADHD blogger Jane D.
The List sits in front of me, tempting and taunting me. The List of psychiatrists who specialize in ADHD, and the many related disorders -- offshoots from the mothership. It is somewhat dog-eared and tattered, but readable, from my days in the Guinea Pig Group. The leader of the group e-mailed out the list with the hope that we would take advantage of some of these...

The ADHD in Me Cannot Deal with My Boss's Disorder
An employee living with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) explains how she struggles to stay organized at work with an ADHD boss who gives her no direction and presents too many distractions.
Another sleepless night and I'm not sure what to do about it -- the work worries continue and in the language of open-water swimming, I feel like I am being hit again and again by waves. There is no end in sight to the washing-machine churn, and there is only a faint hope that somewhere out there is a God who is merciful and who will...

Over the past five years, we have moved our four-year graduation rate from 68.3 percent (2008) to 78 percent (2012). During that same time frame, our four-year adjusted graduation rate has gone from 71 percent to 86 percent. The five-year graduation rate has gone from 70.8 percent (2008) to 86.9 percent (2011). The five-year adjusted graduation rate has gone from 74.1 percent to 88.9 percent (2011).
The Class of 2012 five-year graduation rates will not be available until next year.
Dropout rate
The dropout cohort rate is calculated in a manner similar to the graduation rate. The 2008 dropout rate includes those students whose cohort were first-time grade-nine students in 2004-2005. The four-year dropout rate went from 18.9 percent (2008) to 8.8 percent (2012). The four-year adjusted dropout rate went from 17.2 percent (2008) to 5.5 percent (2012). The five-year dropout rate went from 18.2 percent (2008) to 6.1 percent ( 2011). The adjusted five-year dropout rate went from 16.5 percent to 6.1 percent (2011).
The percentage of Salem High School students reporting attending postsecondary institutions of learning since 2008 has fluctuated 87 percent to 91 percent. Prior to 2008, Salem High School students' postsecondary plans were in the 84-to-85 percent range.
We at Salem High School believe we are on the right track to meeting the needs of all our students. We are committed to continuing to improve our graduation rate and decreasing the dropout rate.
The following are some of the initiatives and programs instituted at Salem High School:
Development of intervention programs, such as creating Salem Prep in 2007.
Revising/revamping the after-school alternate high school, Bridge Academy, which is now part of the regular school day.
The creation of a summer school credit recovery program located at Salem High School in 2006. Prior to 2006, students who failed one or more courses would need to travel to other area cities. The reality was that very few students did this and would fall behind in their ability to graduate and become more at risk for dropping out.

You'll never watch the movie Ghost again. Joe Fortenbaugh
Here's an image to keep in mind when trying to digest the goodness from your Memorial Day barbeques.
Remember that trip I took to Montana back in November for the Brawl of the Wild showdown between Montana and Montana State that unearthed the most dark and twisted Super Bowl wager of all-time? Well, the deadline for payment on the New York Giants' win over the New England Patriots in 2012 came due recently, and that meant it was time for our friend Phil to pay a visit to the local tattoo parlor.
The picture on the right tells the story better than my words ever could. That's Phil (foreground) and Lando recreating the famous Patrick Swayze-Demi Moore pottery scene from the movie Ghost. The picture on the left side of the image was then used by a clearly talented local tattoo artist to redecorate Phil's left thigh (right side of image).
Drink it in.
The bad news for Phil is that he was backing the 49ers against Lando in February's Super Bowl, so he'll be required to make another trip to the ink factory in the near future.
The good news is that Phil is currently looking for suggestions. Hit up the comments section or my email address (email@example.com) if you've got something that can top the Ghost tattoo.
I hope you all enjoy your weekends because the text message I received today containing this image already ruined mine.

Current opportunities
On this page you will find a list of specific volunteering opportunities. For details of generic opportunities and ways that you can volunteer for BBCT at times defined by you, please refer to the left hand menu for a list of our Volunteer Role Profiles.
- Manage a badge box
Our bumblebee pin badges are very popular with members of the public and you could help us to sell more of them by managing one or more of our badge boxes. We currently have boxes placed at the cash desks in garden centres, nature reserves, and even a chip shop so that members of the public can buy a badge (for £1.50) and support bumblebee conservation in the process.
If you can think of somewhere in your local area to position one of our boxes then please let us know. All you need to do is gain the permission of the shop owner, for example, take the box and the badges (which we will send you) along and then revisit the box once a month to collect any money raised and restock the box with more badges. This is a great way to volunteer if you have a limited amount of time but still want to do something worthwhile.
"Bumblebees are key factors in our wildlife. If they disappear many of our plants will not bear fruit. I am proud to be associated with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust".

"This is the most beautiful Christmas card we've ever had! Many of our friends commented saying, "What a card!," and that this card earned us "Christmas card of the year!" We ordered it with the pearlized finish and it was absolutely stunning! The picture quality was fantastic. We had such a great experience that we will order cards every year from now on....it will be hard to top this one!"
"We used this as a Wedding Thank You Card! We inserted "With Gratitude" instead of "Happy Holidays". Quality was wonderful and we had three crystal clear wedding photos on the front--which is what people, especially those that couldn't attend, want to see."
"This is the fifth year I've purchased my Christmas cards from Tiny Prints and I am never disappointed! I love the customization options and the fact that I can make my cards truly my own! I love sharing my family photos with my family and friends."
"I ordered the "bare bones" (i.e., not glossy, uncut) version of this card. The images are beautiful, sharp and colorful. The cardstock is nice and not at all flimsy. The envelopes (again, just blank ones) were also good quality, which really makes a difference to me: all too often, I feel that companies will spend their time making a nice card and then provide a thin, cheap envelope to stuff it in. I will definitely use Tiny Prints again."
"I got this card in nutmeg with rounded edges and I added pearl white shimmer. It turned out so beautiful and sparkly! I got many compliments!"
