Kabbalah states that the Creator created all worlds simultaneously, including our world. Writings from the last century explain that we are the first generation to be able to use Kabbalah in our world. However, in order to further advance our understanding of the wisdom of Kaballah, and use this knowledge appropriately, we need to lift our mind's eye above the horizon of the material world. Kabbalah gives us everything we need to clarify our perception of reality, and extend ourselves beyond the standard borders and limitations of our everyday lives.
So sit back and let the wisdom of Kabbalah wash over you. Encountering the perfection of infinity in such a compelling manner is an experience that cannot be described with words; it must be felt by each individual, each at their own pace. This comprehensive guide to spiritual discovery is intended for all those who seek true meaning in life that is far beyond the ordinary.
A scientist by profession, Rabbi Laitman arrived in Israel in 1974 at the age of 27. Completely secular at the time, his search for spirituality eventually brought him to study under Rabbi Baruch Ashlag, the son of Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam). He served as the personal assistant to Rabbi Baruch Ashlag from 1979 to 1991, and upon his rabbi's passing, was handed down personal transcripts from one of the greatest Kabbalists of our time. Having studied Kabbalah for over 30 years, Rabbi Laitman presents a scientific approach to spiritual evolvement that is based on the writings of Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag and other great Kabbalists throughout the generations. An eloquent writer and public speaker, his words inspire individuals around the world to accelerate the spirituality of mankind through the study of Kabbalah.
©2002 Michael Laitman; (P)2003 Laitman Kabbalah Publishers
"Comprehensive and well read"
This introduction to Kabbalah helps the listener focus on the essential elements of kabbalistic philosophy and inquiry. The unencumbered listener should find a definite connections between Kabbalistic teaching and most all other spiritual paths of mystical inquiry and experience. Of special significance is an ongoing discussion of the relationship between mankind, God, faith, reason, enlightenment and the path of drawing nearer to God.
"LOOKING FOR ANSWERS (what is my soul)"
I was more enlightened by this book than any other book of this calibur at this time in my life. I am on my own soul searching journey to search for answers to my own innner questions on the subject of meaning of life. I also am a firm beleiver in the Bible and that we are created by God, I live on Faith and this book awakened somthing in me. I understand this concept, and this book was so well written. I recommend it to anyone searching for a different perspective of this topic. Enjoy listening and enlight your soul. (54 yr old Fenmale/ Scorpio)
"Great Listen"
Very good book. I am new to the Kabbalah but found this a very good listen on the way to and from work.
"just wow"
I've read and listened this book a few times and every time there is greater depth to this profound wisdom. I highly recommend it.
"Wonderful book on Kabbalah"
This book is written about the 'heart' or 'spirit' of Kabbalistic writings/religion. If you are interested in Kabbalah or you have some of the books like Sephir Yetzirah or Basir or something -- you should obtain this book to help you understand more of the writings, the tenants and the foundations of this branch of Judaism.
"Very Heavy Listening"
Very hard to listen to. Make sure that you have a lot of focused time to devote to it.
"An endless drone"
No. It's repetitious and pompous.
I have no idea.
Tony is a good narrator; he cannot be faulted. But Laitman's text just drones on and on, endlessly repetitious, and goes nowhere. I was unable to listen to the whole thing.
Yes. Initially it was inspiring to listen to, but then after listening to several hours, it was clearly moving into fanatical waters. I had to back out. In future I will avoid being sucked into this kind of endless black hole of pseudo-spirituality.
Yes. I suspect my review will be deleted, since only positive reviews of Laitman's work are permitted to survive on Audible and Amazon.
"Ever wondered about your life set backs?"
Ever wondered about your life set backs?
Ever blamed others, or wanted revenge filled with anger, not knowing who to be angry at?
Ever asked yourself, why so much suffering?
Suffering is a medicine, that unless addressed, will remain medicated with pain...

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you sell gold?
We are not a jewellery store or a bullion dealer, so we do not keep a large stock of items for sale. However, we do take special requests for items which we sell at amazing prices. Click here to fill out a request form with a detailed description of what you are looking for and we will get back to you.
How can I sell you my gold?
You can drop in to see us at our office at 1461 Brenton St., Halifax. We can also meet you, by appointment, outside of our normal office hours. Please contact us by phone (902) 444-7233 or email (email@example.com) to arrange an appointment. When you arrive, we will test and weigh your gold in front of you, issue you a receipt, and pay on the spot for your gold!
How is your price determined?
Halifax Gold pays more than 70-80% of the melt value of your gold. This is much higher than most jewellery stores, pawn shops, infomercial gold buyers, and online mail-in services, which typically offer 20-60% of melt value. Remember, a troy ounce of gold weighs 31.1grams.
How do I know I am getting the best deal?
We have many satisfied customers in Halifax, and we are happy to provide references. Since we deal with local customers in Halifax, we are able to keep our operating expenses low and offer excellent prices. After covering our refining, assay, and financing charges, our profit margin is very small. We have done extensive market research, and we are confident that our prices exceed our competitors.
How can I tell if my items are gold, or just plated?
Solid gold is usually stamped with the purity, while gold-plated items are stamped "GP", "KP", "HGE", "RGP", "GE", or "GF". We are unable to buy plated items as they contain very little gold.
Do you buy gemstones?
We do not purchase gemstones. We buy all gold, silver, and platinum items. If your jewellery contains gemstones, we would be happy to remove them and return them to you, free of charge. Be wary of any gold buyer who buys gemstones. Their purchase prices are far lower than your gemstones are worth, typically only a few dollars per gram for diamonds!
Do you pay extra for my appraised jewellery?
No, all of our purchase prices are based on current prices of gold, silver, and platinum. With today's high gold prices, there has never been a better time to sell. Most of our customers are surprised by the value of their jewellery items.
How can I use a magnet to test my jewellery?
Gold is not magnetic. Many gold-plated items have a core of nickel or iron, which ARE magnetic. So, a magnet can be used to determine if your item is nickel or iron, with a thin plating of gold. WARNING: Some gold plated items contain a brass core, which is not magnetic.
What are your policies?
- By law, you must show the proper government issued identification.
- You must be at least 18 years of age
- Stolen merchandise will never be considered. We will notify the police if we are aware that you attempt to sell stolen goods.
- We keep detailed records of all transactions. You will be required to sign a form stating that you are the lawful owner of the items you are selling, and that they are neither stolen nor the proceeds of crime.
What type of Identification is required?
By Halifax law, we are required to view one of the following: Driver's License, Passport, Provincial ID, Citizenship, Indian Status Certificate, or Provincial Residence Card.
I live far away from Halifax. Is a mail-in option available?
Yes – we now offer a FREE Mail-in option. Simply CLICK HERE to provide your mailing address, and we will send you an Insured GoldPack, with tracking included. Once we receive your GoldPack, we will issue payment the same day. Also, we will return any gold plated or magnetic items to you, free of charge.

BMI? Is This Really an Accurate Way to Monitor Weight?

The new BMI guidelines have caused some commotion as to whether these changes have been made were entirely necessary, but in truth BMI has long been a controversial method of measuring weight and obesity as the results can be extremely misleading.

Individual Lessons about Congress
Analyze President Bush's State of the Union Address on January 20
The purpose of this lesson is to teach students about the history and purpose of the State of the Union address, and to teach them how to evaluate the speech. Students will discuss the elements of a successful political speech, and they will watch President Bush's State of the Union Address on January 20.
The Capitol Building
What makes the U.S. Capitol "symbolically important"? Presented with a variety of archival documents, students can answer that question for themselves. Working in small groups, they will uncover and share the Capitol's story. The primary sources are presented to the students as mysteries, with a challenge to tie together the information in the documents or images through research.
Grade level: 3-5.
and Primaries: The Presidential Nominating System
Introduce students to the system of primaries and caucuses by which candidates for U.S. president are nominated by their parties.
Checks and Balances
One of the most persistent and overarching complaints the American colonists had about the rule of the British monarchy was the extent of its power. One of the most persistent and overarching complaints about the early government of the U.S. under the Articles of Confederation was the weakness of the federal government. Attempting to form a more perfect union, the framers of the Constitution designed a government that clearly assigned power to three branches, while at the same time guaranteeing that the power of any branch could be checked by another. Using primary source documents, your students can see clear demonstrations of how one branch of our government can check another.
Grade level: 3-5.
Processes and the U.S. Senate
This exercise simulates the deliberations and negotiations that take place among Senators who sit on several committees as they participate in the simultaneous mark-up processes of a number of bills. Working with their individual staffs, Senators must decide which of the bills under consideration are considered priorities, what amendments to each bill they believe are necessary, and how they can succeed in ensuring that the bills they support are reported out to the full Senate for a deliberation and vote. Senators will need to devise a strategy for working with their colleagues in order to ensure that they are best able to advance their own particular legislative agenda. The simulation was developed by the International Communication and Negotiation Simulations, Center for International Development and Conflict Management at the University of Maryland. The ICONS Project offers high school and university students from around the world the opportunity to participate in Internet-based simulations.
Grade level: Offered in three versions, one each for high school, university level, and professional level.
Congress in the Classroom
The students will simulate the workings of Congress by bringing the lawmaking process into their own classroom. Students will role-play congressmen and women attempting to pass a bill into a law through the appropriate steps.
Grade level: 4-6.
Congress in the Classroom: A WebQuest
Through this WebQuest you will be able to explain the role of each of the three branches of government, identify some important members of the federal government, identify your local and state Members of Congress, explain the process of how a bill becomes a law, and simulate the law-making process in your classroom.
Grade level: 3-12.
Congressional Committees and the Legislative Process
This lesson plan introduces students to the pivotal role that Congressional committees play in the legislative process, focusing on how their own Congressional representatives influence legislation through their committee appointments. Students begin by reviewing the stages of the legislative process, then learn how committees and subcommittees help determine the outcome of this process by deciding which bills the full Congress will consider and by shaping the legislation upon which votes are finally cast. With this background, students research the committee and subcommittee assignments of their Congressional representatives, then divide into small groups to prepare class reports on the jurisdictions of these different committees and their representatives' special responsibilities on each one. Finally, students consider why representation on these specific committees might be important to the people of their state or community, and examine how the committee system reflects some of the basic principles of American federalism.
Grade level: 9-12.
Congressional Representation
Students will explore the relationship between state population and federal congressional representation. Using Web site data or almanacs, students will graph state population, state size, and number of congressional representatives. Students will then infer the relationship between the three figures. Historical extensions allow students to discover why congressional representation was set up in this fashion.
Grade level: 5-12.
The Constitution Game
This lesson offers an exciting way to pre-assess or review the contents of the United States Constitution in a game and tournament format using the highly effective Teams-Games-Tournament (T-G-T) cooperative learning strategy.
Grade level: 6-8
The Constitutional Convention
Here, you'll introduce your students to four key, but relatively unknown, contributors to the U.S. Constitution-Oliver Ellsworth, Alexander Hamilton, William Paterson, and Edmund Randolph. Learn through their words and the words of others how the Founding Fathers created "a model of cooperative statesmanship and the art of compromise."
Grade level: 9-12.
The Constitutional Convention: What the Founding Fathers Said
What were some of the conflicts debated in the meetings and discussions that led to the creation of the Constitution of the United States? What interests and passions drove those conflicts—and to what shared principles did the Founders appeal as they struggled to reach a compromise? In this lesson, students will learn how the Founding Fathers debated, then resolved, their differences in the Constitution Learn through their words and the words of others how the Founding Fathers created "a model of cooperative statesmanship and the art of compromise."
Grade level: 9-12.
Continuity and Change in the Governing of the United States
This unit includes four lessons using primary sources to examine continuity and change in the governing of the United States. Lessons one and two are focused on a study of the Constitution and Bill of Rights and provide access to primary source documents from the Library of Congress. Lesson three investigates important issues which confronted the first Congress and has students examine current congressional debate over similar issues. Lesson four features broadsides from the Continental Congress calling for special days of thanksgiving and remembrance. The first three lessons are intended for middle and high school students. Lesson four provides a historical context for elementary school lessons that focus on celebrating national holidays. The unit also includes extension activities for each lesson which may be developed as classroom activities or individual research projects.
Grade level: 4-12.
The Factional Feud
This lesson uses the format of the popular game show "The Family Feud" to examine the Federalist/Antifederalist debates that preceded the ratification of the United States Constitution and to reinforce and assess students' understanding of the contents of the Federalist Papers.
Grade level: 6-8
Facts of the Union
The lesson plan offers students the opportunity to review statements made by President Bush in his 2007 State of the Union Address. It provides students with a good starting point for examining some crucial issues the president laid out for the year. Students will research details of these issues, analyze the president's statements and claims, and draw conclusions about how straightforward he was with the American people. Once students have gained a solid understanding of these issues, they can continue to examine progress made on them by the president and Congress over the course of the year.
What's It All About? An Introduction to the First Amendment
This lesson gives students a broad overview of First Amendment principles as a starting point for other lessons (for middle and high school students) that treat the subject with greater depth. A goal here, as with all the lessons, is to make the First Amendment personal, to help students understand that America's first freedoms belong to them — as they belong to everyone. Some of the ideas contained in this lesson will be suitable for all students; others are geared for more able students or for those who want to pursue independent study. Please feel free to make selections from these offerings to suit your students' needs and interests.
First Federal Congress
This lesson establishes the responsibilities and expectations for the First Federal Congress. It introduces the role of the FFC in developing our government beyond the Constitution, the aspirations for this government, and the challenges that face the government. This unit would be an opportune place to connect the FFC to the present functioning of Congress through access to C-Span and e-mail questions to local representatives.
Grade level: 5-12.
Federal Congress: A Mock Session of Congress
In this lesson, students will re-enact the legislative debates of the First Federal Congress (FFC) focusing on two key issues: the Residence Bill and the Funding Bill (assumption plan). This activity will feature students role-playing as representatives of the FFC. Students will be assigned to represent the individual interests of the 13 states in an attempt to maximize gains for their constituents. The Residence Bill (S-12) and Funding Bill (HR 63) have been chosen not only because the debates on the two bills dominated the proceedings of the FFC, but also because their passage required skillful compromise. Through legislative action, parliamentary procedure and behind the scene maneuvering, students will discover the challenges and merits of political bargaining.
Grade level: 9-12.
The Great Energy Debate
This lesson explores the controversial issues surrounding the energy debate in the United States. Students will research recent initiatives being taken in this area and analyze their implications. They will then assume the roles of pivotal stakeholders in this debate and testify to a mock congressional committee responsible for making decisions about public lands and energy resources.
Grade level: 9-12.
How a Bill Becomes Law
The purpose of this activity package is to provide activities that will encourage students to understand how our government introduces, passes laws, and makes policy decisions and, also, to develop in them an increased awareness of the issues affecting their lives and how they can provide input into the American political process.
Grade level: 7-8
How a Bill Becomes Law
This lesson, designed for 4th through 6th grade, uses interactives to help students define the jobs of the legislative branch of government, compare and contrast the House of Representatives and the Senate, list the steps determining how a bill becomes a law, and demonstrate how the system of checks and balances affects a bill becoming a law.
How a Bill Becomes a Law-Creative Dramatics
After completing this activity, students will be able to explain the process of how a bill becomes a law.
How Does a Bill Become Law?
This lesson was designed as an introduction to Congress by showing one function they perform (how a bill becomes a law). This lesson can be modified to focus on any one area of government that deals with bills and laws (i.e. House of Representatives, Senate, Presidency).
Grade level: 12.
How Does a Bill Become Law? WebQuest
Because the United States has a two-party system that requires both sides to compromise, and a system of checks and balances to protect people from unreasonable laws, the legislative process is a long one.How does a bill become a law? Why does it take so long? What happens when a bill is not passed by Congress in a session? What happens if the President vetoes, or does not sign, the law? These are some of the questions you will need to answer as you go through this WebQuest.
In Congress Assembled: Continuity and Change in the Governing of the United States
This unit includes four lessons using primary sources to examine continuity and change in the governing of the United States. Lessons one and two are focused on a study of the Constitution and Bill of Rights and provide access to primary source documents from the Library of Congress. Lesson three investigates important issues which confronted the first Congress and has students examine current congressional debate over similar issues. Lesson four features broadsides from the Continental Congress calling for special days of thanksgiving and remembrance. The first three lessons are intended for middle and high school students. Lesson four provides a historical context for elementary school lessons that focus on celebrating national holidays. The unit also includes extension activities for each lesson which may be developed as classroom activities or individual research projects.
Grade levels: 9-12.
Majorities Rule!
In this lesson students will be randomly assigned to one of two groups (majority or minority) and will debate and vote on a series of bills that are fundamentally unfair in that they favor the majority and are detrimental to the minority. After "feeling" the impact of discrimination the students will discuss protections that are accorded to minorities in the American political system and how those protections might be applied.
Grade levels: 6-8
Mock Congress
The purpose of this lesson is to show students how the Congress
step-by-step goes about its primary task--making laws. This simulation will help students better understand the two-party influence on Congress, the committee aspect(s) of Congress' work, checks and balances (veto/override), etc. Instead of simply discussing the process of how a bill becomes a law (or reading about it in a textbook) the students actually participate by taking actual issues currently of concern and attempting to write and pass laws about these issues. This can be taught in conjunction with the study of the legislative branch, current events, separation of powers, and others. This lesson also requires students to use many skills necessary to the social studies: debate, research, writing, critical thinking, and many, many more.
Grade level: 7-8.
Mock Congress
The purpose of this activity is to get the students involved in the legislative process of law-making by assuming different roles and understand the relevance of these laws to their lives.
Grade level: 9-12.
A Nation's Voice
In this lesson, students will understand U.S. policy making in times of military conflict by learning about constitutional, statutory, and customary factors that affect policy. They will apply their knowledge of policy making to determine if U.S. involvement in its 20th century conflicts was warranted. This lesson plan also includes great sound bites (e.g., Roosevelt, JFK, and Bush) that could be used to discuss the justification of war powers.
Grade level: 9-12.
Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances
In this introductory lesson, students will recognize the importance of understanding how the separate powers of the three branches of government work together, in a checks and balances system, to form a single unit of government. Students will be able to define the terms "separation of powers" and "checks and balances;" list the three separate branches of government; identify each branches' assigned powers and functions; label each branches' exerted powers over the others.
Grade level: 9-12.
Separation of Powers Between the Three Branches of Government
The purpose of this lesson is to help students understand the concept of the three branches of government. By understanding the development of the these branches the students will better understand the decision making process by which our government lives.
Grade level: 10-12
State of the Union Address
In this lesson, students will closely read President George W. Bush's State of the Union address of January 28, 2003, and develop interviews and write articles to assess a variety of points of view about the proposals offered in the speech.
Grade level: 6-12
Three Branch Checking Game
In this lesson students will play a game that is designed to help them understand the powers and responsibilities of the three branches of the United States government. The lesson can be used to pre-assess or reinforce students' understanding of the powers of the three branches.
Grade level: 4-5

Exploring Our Woodlands
April 2011
Explore Nature at St Fagans!
After months of planning and preparation, the Explore Nature at St Fagans project was officially launched earlier this month. On April the 2nd, we had a day filled with nature and wildlife activities. The weather was fantastic and hundreds of visitors to the museum participated in bird spotting, bat watching, pond dipping and arts and crafts activities. I hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as we did! I'd like to thank everyone who came along, especially Daniel who can be seen cutting the ribbon at the bird hide in the photo.
As we are well into spring now, St Fagans is alive with wildlife once again! The lesser horseshoe bats have returned to the Tannery, yesterday I counted around 25 of them! Later this summer the females will give birth to their pups, as this is their maternity roost. Why not come along to the Tannery and watch them on our special infra-red batcam?
The pits at the Tannery are once again teeming with life. There are countless newts, water boatmen, pond skaters, dragonfly nymphs and much much more. The Tannery is perhaps the best building on site for wildlife. Last week saw the return of the swallows who nest here every summer. It really is fantastic to see so much wildlife so close.
As part of the Explore Nature project we will be holding events and activities throughout the spring and summer months, from early morning bird walks to evening bat walks. Keep an eye on the museum website for more information.
As the Tannery is so good for wildlife, I will be spending the day there on Saturday the 30th of April. Come along and learn more about the bats, the newts and all the other wildlife that have made this building their home!

On Saturday, April 2, we will be officially launching the Explore Nature at St Fagans project, here at the museum. The launch will be at 11am in Oriel 1. Then, throughout the day, there will be a variety of different nature based activities.
We will have visits to our new bird hide, where a member of staff will be on hand to help with identifying the birds that can be seen visiting the bird feeders. Find out also how to attract different birds to your own garden so that you can watch them from the comfort of your own home!
We will also have a number of activities at the Tannery. The Tannery has become home to a great variety of wildlife, from protected Great Crested Newts to rare Lesser Horseshoe bats. Come and find out more about these fascinating creatures. We will also be doing a spot of pond dipping and minibeast hunting, come along and see what we find!
As part of the Explore Nature project we have commissioned a couple of films. The first is a general nature film shot at the museum, it shows the wealth of wildlife that we are lucky to have here. The second film concentrates on the Lesser Horseshoe bats that roost here. Enjoy!
Has spring arrived?
First of all, Happy Saint David's Day to everyone! March has arrived, but is spring on its way? This morning, I went for a short stroll through the museum grounds to search for signs of spring. Here's what I found…
February 2011
A Feathery February Half Term
This week is National Nest Box Week and next week is Half Term so we've decided to combine the two and have bird-themed activities at T? Gwyrdd this weekend and all next week as well. We'll be making bird feeders and nest boxes and there'll be a free info pack all about how to attract birds to your garden and look after them.
With the weather looking increasingly Spring-like at the moment it is time to get those nest boxes up before the breeding season gets going. Spring and summer is a very busy time for the birds as they have to feed all those chicks as well as themselves, so any help that comes from us is most welcome I'm sure!
New Nature Den in Oriel 1!
On Thursday and Friday last week, work began on revamping the existing nature area of Oriel 1 here in St Fagans. This is a very exciting part of the Explore Nature project at the museum, which sees us drawing attention to the wealth of wildlife that can be found on site.
The first step was to decorate the area. We chose woodland themed colours and large colourful panels which show some of the animals that live within the museum. All of these panels are now in place, as you can see from these pictures. Hopefully this has made the area very inviting and a fun way to learn about our wildlife.
We also see the new 'nature den' as being an activity area where a range of nature and wildlife based activities can take place. For this we have installed a new shelving area which will be used for displaying specimens, keeping games and activities as well as being a bookshelf for a range of nature and wildlife books. We also now have an area for displaying your artwork, so come along and do some drawing!
This week will see the installation of the technological aspects, which we are very excited about. Along the wall with the wildlife montage (between the blackbird and the bat) we will be putting up our new flat screen television. This television will be linked up to our new live bird feeder camera so you will be able to watch the various birds feeding. There will also be access to other footage taken from our wildcams, from batcam and our underwater pond camera.
As well as the footage from our cameras, we have also had some St Fagans wildlife documentaries made. These will also be available to watch on the screen, from the comfort of the sofa if you so wish. The first of the films shows a typical day in the life of the wildlife here, while the second concentrates on the Lesser Horseshoe bats that roost in the Tannery here.
We are very happy with how the nature den is looking and we hope to have everything installed and up and running ready from half term, which is next week! Why not come along to St Fagans during the half term holiday and have a look and let us know what you think?
If you can't make it during half term, be sure to attend the big launch of the Explore Nature project, which is taking place on Saturday April the 2nd! For more information click here.
January 2011
Get ready to count...
Do you enjoy watching birds in your garden? Do you have a favourite place to go to watch birds? This coming weekend (29th and 30th January) is the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch, an annual survey of the nations birds.
All it takes is an hour of your time to record which birds visit your garden or local park. For a list of local parks in Cardiff, click here.
You could even visit us here at St Fagans museum to record which birds you see from our bird hide. Wherever you choose to go, make sure you wrap up warm, it can be very cold work!
Registration is free and all the information you need is available from the RSPB's website: www.rspb.org.uk/birdwatch
What will you see??
December 2010
The icy touch of winter
Just thought I'd pop quick post up here with some photos of the cold weather at St Fagans. It's very cold but very pretty at the same time - especially at dawn and sunset (which you've probably noticed are only 5 minutes apart now).
If you feel like coming to the Christmas Nights this week please bring warm clothes and a torch. There's loads to see and do but it's not going to be warm! We'll be showing you how to make your own Christmas decorations using just newspapers, scissors, glue and the mystifying magic known as 'arts & crafts'.
Also, please feed the birds as they are cold. Look at that poor Robin. Freezing.
November 2010
Visitors to the bird hide
As the woodland birds get used to the new surroundings, the feeders outside the bird hide have been getting busier and busier. At times the feeders are covered in assorted tits, with the occasional nuthatch, chaffinch and robin to keep them company. Every once in a while a greater spotted woodpecker has been appearing too, forcing the smaller birds to hide for a short time.
The hide is very close to being ready to open to the public, still on schedule to be open before the end of this month. If you are thinking of visiting, remember to wrap up nice and warm, it can get quite cold in there at times. Even better, bring along a nice flask of tea!
The hide is a great place to get some great pictures of wildlife, here are some that we have taken of birds we have caught feeding outside the bird hide.
Developments in the Woodlands!
This is my first blog since being appointed Exploring Nature Facilitator here at St Fagans museum. The purpose of my job is to try and encourage visitors to take notice of the wealth of nature and animals living within the museum.
As part of this project, there have recently been some developments in woodlands at St Fagans, near the woodlands walk. Alongside one of the information panels, we have had a bird sound winder installed! By simply selecting the bird you want and winding the arm you can now listen to the songs and calls of 8 of our woodland birds! It's a great way to get to know the different bird songs!
We have also recently had a bird hide installed in the woods. This is a great place to come and relax while watching some of our birds feeding at the feeding station. So far we have noted at least 9 different species visiting the feeders, from assorted tits to a greater spotted woodpecker. Of course, being in the woodlands we also get the occasional squirrel visiting too.
The bird hide should be open to the public soon, hopefully before the end of the month! It really is a lovely place to come with a thermos of hot tea and relax. We are currently working on some information panels which will hope to have up ready for early spring.
If you have any suggestions about how we should use the bird hide or even a name for it, please let me know by commenting. Keep an eye on this blog for information on forthcoming nature events and activities.
The project is funded by Biffaward though the Landfill Communities Fund and by Legal and General.

Procedure went well
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 03-24-2010 - 4:12pm
Everything went well today with the D&C. I didn't realize how nervous I would be, but isn't the waiting always the hardest part? It was over fast and they gave me some "margarita drug mix" and said they were about to give me more to knock me out of which the last thing I remember saying was I hope that a cabana boy comes with it. WHAT??? Anyway, that's all I remember until DH was feeding me ice chips in recovery.
Slept for 3 hours today and now I am catching up on American idol and lost from last night.
So happy it is over and I am on a new path.
Thanks for all your support everyone.
Me: 37, DH: 41
TTC for 5 years . 1 Ectopic PG at 8 weeks; 2 IVF's – (one BFP, ended in m/c at 8 weeks; one BFN); 4 IUI's – all BFN. February 2010: IVF #3: BFP but ended in m/c at 6 weeks growth.

Hi Monica,
I'm just catching up on posts since being away from the board a bit.
|Thu, 03-25-2010 - 8:56am
I'm glad the procedure went well. Wishing you a speedy physical and mental recovery,
|Thu, 03-25-2010 - 8:46am
I am glad to hear that your ordeal is over so you can begin to move forward.
I agree with everyone that said you are such a strong woman.
LOL at the cabana boy comment.
I watch both those shows as well. Lost was really good. At least we finally know why Richard doesn't age. I always thought that was creepy but
|Wed, 03-24-2010 - 10:41pm
Monica, it's good to hear that everything went well today and the procedure was over rather quickly for you, so you can start to recover not only physically, but emotionally as well. Thinking of you and sending you lots of best wishes on your new path. Huge ((Hugs))
Me (30), DH (30)

I'm sorry you had to go through the D&C but I am glad you are already feeling like you're on a new path.
|Wed, 03-24-2010 - 4:46pm
I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
But I love the cabana boy comment. I remember after my fibroid surgery waking up and then the nurse on the phone saying "yeah, she's been in here about 45min" and me saying "What? I just woke up" and her telling me "no, they just give you medicine that makes you forget (Versed)"....Who knows what I was rambling on about for 45 minutes and I work at the same hospital!
Me 33, DH 36. TTC since November 2007. Possible miscarriage in January of 2008 (too early for BFP, but all symptoms point to miscarriage). Normal SA in Feb 2009. HSG showed large (50% of uterus) fundal fibroid in Feb 2009. Hysteroscopically removed in March 2009. Tried to concieve naturally until August. Repeat HSG was normal. 6 cycles of Clomid alone...never had a BFP. IUI #1 = 01/13/10, BFN. IUI #2 = 3/11/10.

It's 3:23 a.m., April 29, the day of the flash-forwards. Charlie wakes Olivia up, crying. She says that today is that today is the day her dad is going to die.
At 7:26 a.m., Simon is talking to Janis in her apartment. He tells her if the world knows he was awake during the flash-forward, he is a dead man. He wants revenge. Janis tells him they have Hellinger in custody, but Simon says it goes over one man. He wants to get near the accelerator mainframe as Mark tells Demetri that Demetri has a flight to catch, to go to Hawaii and "be alive." Demetri says he wants to marry Zoey, but is hesitant. Mark tells him despite everything that's happened, marrying Olivia was the best thing he did.
Lloyd calls Olivia and wants to be with her tonight. She tells him that Charlie is too upset. At the FBI, Vogel briefs Mark on Hellinger, saying he used the flash-forwards as an investment tool, to put money into websites and then sell them. Wedick tells Mark that Hellinger will only speak to him.
Mark asks Hellinger if he caused the blackout and he tells Mark he has seen today many times, and most times started with the two of them talking together. He draws out a series of paths for the day on a notepad, and tells Mark that in every version of the future, he saw Mark lose control, attack him in the room, and lose everything. He shows Mark the paths and all of them lead to Mark being killed in his office. He begs Mark to let him go. Mark does not believe him, and wants to know how he caused the blackout.
At 9:10 a.m., Mark asks Lloyd about a symbol on Dyson Frost's blueprints regarding tachyons. Lloyd says he is supposed to crack the symbol at midnight. Mark tells him that Hellinger is supposed to crack it as well, and he wants to beat him to the punch.
Elsewhere, Nicole greets Bryce with cupcakes and sees a sketch of Keiko. Bryce wants to do whatever he can to distract himself from his flash-forward, but Nicole is hesitant since she knows who Keiko is. At a federal bond center, Keiko is told she could be detained up to a year for an immigration hearing.
Demetri meets Zoey at LAX. He tells her he loves her, and confesses to impregnating Janis. He said he did it because he thought he was going to die. Zoey is speechless, and says she did everything that she did because she thought Demetri was going to live. Demetri wants to start over and marry Zoey, but Zoey says she is going to go to Hawaii with her parents and she does not want Demetri to come.
In Afghanistan, a worried Aaron lays an injured Tracy down on a bed. He says that this is where they are supposed to be. Khamir is not sure he can treat her injuries. Aaron is sure he saw her alright, but Tracy starts to cough violently. They will deal with everything else when she is back
Mark has cross-checked symbols on Hellinger's investments regarding Tachyon wipes. He found an investment company and wants to take a team to investigate. Wedick and Vogel won't allow him to go, saying he could walk into a trap.
In Afghanistan, Khamir treats Tracy, and Aaron proceeds to beat up the captured mercenary Connor for information. Connor tells him that Jericho captured Tracy because she saw them run a test for the global blackout on an entire village. Connor tells him that the experiment had a radius of one mile, and they needed to know why Tracy was awake.
Simon tells Janis they need to pick up supplies to break into NLAP. At 1:34 p.m., Demetri opens the door, and he and Simon get into an armed stand-off. Janis tells Demetri that she needs to let Simon near the accelerator to find the people responsible for the blackout. When Demetri refuses to leave, Janis attacks Simon and cuffs him. Simon tells her she will regret her decision for the rest of her life.
Mark and Vogel listen in on a feed coming from the FBI team at the tachyon data center. The team is wiped out by an unseen force, and the feed cuts out. Mark tells Wedick that the tachyon information center was a trap. He is ready to confront Hellinger, when he is met by Olivia and Charlie. Olivia tells Mark that Charlie is scared about today and needed her dad. Charlie stares at Mark's Mosaic board. She tells Mark she does not want him to die. Mark tells Charlie not to be afraid of today, and to remind herself that they need each other to stay strong.
At 3:37 p.m., Simon warns Demetri that he has making a mistake by arresting him. Janis says she cannot handle the lying anymore, and tells Mark that when he takes Simon to the FBI, not to lie that he found him with her. Demetri begins to drive away, but then comes back. He realizes the NLAP thing is insane, but tells Janis to get in.
Lloyd is trying to figure out his work, when his son Dylan looks at his formula. Dylan tells him everything has to be in the right place. Lloyd has a realization and prepares to leave.
Mark confronts Hellinger about the next blackout. Hellinger insists that Mark is going to die. He admits Mark is a decent man and that they have had many conversations in the room. He admires Mark's faith, but tells him that the Mosaic board is nothing but a scrapbook of his failures. He says Mark is going to die because he does not give up. When Hellinger tells Mark that his daughter will be better off when he is gone, Mark beats the crap out of him, just as Hellinger predicted. Mark is dragged out of the room by agents and Wedick deems him unstable and orders him out of the building.
At 4:17 p.m., Bryce and Nicole prepare to leave and start their night. Bryce wants to be in a public place and witness other people make their futures happen, but Nicole is worried her future will happen. She isn't worried about the drowning; she is worried about the feeling that she deserved it. Nicole then admits to Bryce that Keiko is in Los Angeles, and she did not tell Bryce because she was afraid he would choose her. Bryce cannot believe that Nicole knew Keiko was detained but did not tell him.
At the holding facility, Keiko is visited by her mother. Her mother has gotten papers in order to get her out of the country, but Keiko says that she needs to be in the country to meet Bryce.
In Afghanistan, Khamir tells Aaron that Tracy's heart has stopped. They struggle to revive her
At 6:38 p.m., people party in the streets of Los Angeles. Mark thinks about his memories with Dyson Frost and Hellinger. He runs into a man who tells him in his vision he quit drinking, and then hands Mark a flask, saying he could use it. Mark, finally resigned to fate, drinks from the flask.
At 6:46 p.m., Demetri and Janis drive to NLAP. Demetri says he was angry at Janis for working with the C.I.A., saying he felt like he lost his best friend. He tells Janis that he told Zoey about the baby.
In Afghanistan, Aaron tries desperately to revive Tracy. Khamir tells him that Tracy's heart has stopped beating and she has been deprived of oxygen for too long. He tells Aaron to let Tracy go.
Mark sits drinking at a bar, while people around him celebrate "Flash-Forward Day." A drunk man approaches him saying they may have been talking in his flash-forward.
Lloyd calls Olivia from outside her house. Olivia says that she is not going to be home and she wants to get away from the flash-forwards. Lloyd tells her she has to be home for certain conditions, that is, him solving his missing equations, to be met. Olivia says she is not coming back.
At the bar, the drunk man continues to talk to Mark. When he tells Mark that he has already lost, Mark takes a swing at him, and it erupts into a full fledged bar fight.
Mark is taken into jail. He sits in his cell and thinks about the day. Demetri drives Simon and Janis to NLAP. Aaron gazes at his daughter and cries. Nicole stares at the sketch of Keiko. Keiko and her mother arrive at the airport. Bryce arrives at the immigration facility. Lloyd and his son stand outside Olivia's house. Olivia and her daughter walk on the sand. Mark thinks deeply and puts his head against the wall.
Now the questions remains: How will it end?

Conventional and Type A school bus manufacturer TransTech Bus today had on display its first all-electric school bus developed in partnership with Motiv Power Systems at the NAPT Annual Summit trade show in Grand Rapids, Mich.
The new, Type A Trans Tec/Motiv SST-e bus, scheduled to be ready for next year, is built on a Ford E450 chassis, and utilizes the Motiv electric Powertrain Control System (ePCS), which is compatible with various chassis, as well as any battery currently on the market or in the future. The bus' passenger capacity is 30 students, or 24 students and one wheelchair, and is available with range options of 80 or 100 miles.
The ePCS is installed as a Ford slip-through chassis modification similar to a CNG modification, enabling minimal changes between the fossil fuel and electric versions of the school buses. Company officials said one battery pack could be replaced without having to replace all the batteries on the vehicle.
Motiv's onboard fast charging technology enables the bus to reach a 50-percent charge in less than an hour and a full charge in eight. And the low-cost 3-phase fast charging requires minimal building modifications and no expensive charging stations, according to company officials.
The bus also is equipped with telemetry systems, providing real-time route data and preventive maintenance reports to fleet managers. The cloud-stored data can be viewed on the Web and through smartphones.
Some of the first SST-e buses will be delivered to Kings Canyon Unified School District, located in California's San Joaquin Valley. They were funded in part by the California Air Resources Board AB 118 Air Quality Improvement Program Electric School Bus Demonstration Project.
"An electric bus can save a school district about 16 gallons of fuel a day, or around $11,000 in fuel savings over a year, not to mention maintenance savings," said John Phraner president of TransTech. "We are very excited to continue to help school districts reduce their transportation budgets and are committed to opening the market for the all-electric school bus."

I just got the Extraordinarily Longer Thigh Highs and loved them so much that I immediately had to tell you about it. I, of course, love all the socks I order from you, but these are my favorite!! They are not only long enough for my mutant legs, they are also the softest, most lovely thigh highs I have ever worn! I love them so hard.

A shrub found in Europe and North America noted for its large panicles of fragrant pink-purple flowers.
(Str: dp. 643; l. 155'; b. 27'; dr. 12'3"; s. 10 k.; cpl. 24)
Lilac, a lighthouse tender built at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1892, operated with the U.S. Lighthouse Service until transferred to the Navy by executive order of 11 April 1917. Lilac patrolled off the east coast and in the Caribbean until the Lighthouse Service was returned to the Department of Commerce 1 July 1919.

Of course things aren't going to be wrapped up quite so easily. Hook still has the dried-up magic bean he acquired from Hurley the Giant -- and after being dipped in Lake Nostos's water, its powers are restored. The episode ends with Cora and Hook slowly approaching Storybrooke via pirate ship, proving that that golden compass was about as necessary in the grand scheme of things as Chris Weitz's film adaptation of The Golden Compass. So much for a happy ending.
- Hook's harsh assessment of Belle: She's pretty, but useless. Little does he know how many more Once characters he's describing (coughCHARMINGcough).
- Regina knows who the captain is, and that he has a bone to pick with Rumpelstiltskin. Think we'll learn more about that -- and how he got from Never Land to Fairy Land -- in a fairyback, or is this just one of those throwaway things?
- I'm surprised that tonight's first Henry scene didn't show the kid furiously kissing David, trying to wake him from the sleeping curse the same way Emma woke Henry up from his own curse.
- Another question: Where is Cora's heart? Maybe she's concealing it in a diary, or a giant snake?
- Hook killed a minion of Regina called Claude. His name could be a reference to Claude Frollo, the gypsy-sex-obsessed villain of The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
- I love how Once's version of Wonderland is pretty much just Eyes Wide Shut with brighter colors.
- According to Grumpy, "Nobody steals from a dwarf!" Yes, but how does he feel about tossing?
- So much snark on the show tonight! Which line was your favorite: "I may be a simple pirate, but I know one thing -- lakes have water," or, "Yeah. Isn't that what a spell book is? A book that has spells in it?" Clearly, Emma and Hook are a match made in heaven, or possibly an Internet comment board.
- How kind of Regina to place a perfect red Gaston on her mother's lifeless body.
- Snow recalls watching Cora practice magic in her chamber, which made me wonder -- how long did Cora and Regina live with Snow and King Leopold before Regina and the king got married?
- Hook tells Ems as he's pinning her that he'd prefer to do "other, more enjoyable activities with a woman on her back;" the audience swoons. Eat your heart out, Hookers.
- And speaking of the fans: That scene where Aurora breathlessly asks "Have you done this before?" to Mulan before the latter tenderly replaces her heart was such shipper bait. These two are now going off on a quest to find Prince Phillip's soul, which, eh; call me when you're fighting zombies again.
This is where I leave you until January 6, when Once returns with all new episodes. Until then, I bid you adieu -- and recommend taking a sleeping potion so that the wait goes by in the blink of an eye. [Disappears in a puff of purple smoke.]
