Public Accounts Committee press release
The Rt Hon Margaret Hodge MP, Chair of the Committee of Public Accounts, today said:
"Police forces pay widely varying prices for very similar items, which means money is being wasted. The price paid for such basic items as standard-issue boots can vary from £25 to £114, or £14 to £43 for handcuffs.
"This is even the case where items are identical. It cannot be right that prices paid for the same type of high-visibility jacket varied by as much as 33%.
"With central funding being cut, police forces must ensure they get best value for money from procurement so that they can focus resources on fighting crime.
"Forces can make big savings through bulk-buying of items, but have been unable to agree on the most simple things, like how many pockets they should have on their uniforms.
"The Department cannot persuade enough individual forces to cooperate with its attempts to introduce more centralised procurement, in part because forces are sceptical about the commercial competence of procurement officers working at the centre.
"National contracts with suppliers are not used by enough forces and do not cover many basic goods and services.
"Forces' use of the new, online police procurement 'hub' is also woefully below the Home Office's expectations. By 2013, a miniscule 2% of items were being bought through this central hub, against a target of 80% by the end of this Parliament.
"We recognize that Police and Crime Commissioners have authority over local spending but, as the Department remains accountable for public money voted by Parliament, it cannot step back from value for money issues.
"We welcome the new Accounting Officer's willingness to get to grips with this problem."
Margaret Hodge was speaking as the Committee published its 21st Report of this Session which, on the basis of evidence from the Home Office, examined police procurement.
In 2010-11, the 43 police forces in England and Wales spent nearly £1.7 billion procuring a wide range of goods and services. The Department oversees the police service and central government provides most of its funding. The Department is responsible for providing Parliament with assurance on the value for money of police expenditure, but individual forces buy most goods and services independently. So there is an institutional tension between local autonomy and effective value for money in buying everything from uniforms to paper. The recently elected Police and Crime Commissioners are responsible for value for money locally. With reduced central government funding to police forces, both individual forces and the Department have recognised the need to make procurement savings, for example through more collaboration between forces.
Greater collaboration between forces, and more consistency in their approaches, would improve value for money. Despite some efforts by police forces to collaborate with each other, there remains an unacceptable variation in police forces' approaches to procurement. For example, prices paid range from £14 to £43 for standard-issue handcuffs and £25 to £114 for standard-issue boots. Even where items are identical, prices paid vary substantially, for example, by 33% for one type of high-visibility jacket. We recognise the autonomy of the new Commissioners and their local accountability for value for money. However, as the Department provides around 80% of funding to police forces, it remains accountable for this expenditure, and it has levers available to drive improvements.
Recommendation: We welcome the commitment of the new Accounting Officer to secure better value for money, and urge him to use financial incentives with clear financial penalties to ensure police forces collaborate and purchase together so that they secure better prices and bigger savings through bulk buying.
The public's ability to hold police forces and Commissioners to account for their procurement spending is undermined by the lack of good data. The data which individual police forces and the Department publish are usually produced late, to different standards, and presented in a fashion that makes it impenetrable to the public. Over one third of police forces failed to provide data on procurement savings to the Department. Even where national level data is produced by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary, it is difficult to compare the performance of individual police forces. It is of particular concern that Spikes Cavell, the specialist consultant collecting the data, was unable to collect unit cost data for procurement items. This information is a basic requirement if efficiencies and savings are to be secured. There is also scope for much greater transparency over the prices which individual forces pay for common police equipment, or for the cost of kitting out an average officer. The Department has pledged to carry out a consultation on what data is needed and how it can be published in a user-friendly way.
Recommendation: The Department's consultation exercise should focus on making available to the public, in a timely fashion and force by force, spending data on standard items to enable comparison between forces, and to enable local electorates, the department and Parliament to hold the Police and Crime Commissioners to account for value for money.
Many police forces lack confidence in the Department's procurement initiatives. The Department has taken steps to improve police procurement, including: the setting up of specialist teams to provide procurement support; developing a national police procurement hub through which police forces can buy items; and, in a few cases, it has mandated the use of national framework contracts with suppliers. However, the Department's lack of good quality data on each force makes it difficult for the Department to target its support effectively and it has not developed compelling evidence to persuade forces of the benefits of using the police procurement hub or national procurement frameworks.
Recommendation: The Department should develop its evidence base to demonstrate to police forces and Commissioners the potential benefits and savings from more collaborative procurement and from using the police procurement hub.
National framework contracts with suppliers can lead to significant savings through standardisation and bulk-buying, but do not cover enough goods and services and are not used by enough forces. National framework contracts are managed in some instances by the Department and in others by individual forces. Where forces themselves take the lead on introducing framework contracts there is likely to greater acceptance and buy-in from other forces. But some items that would clearly suit national approaches, such as uniforms (the Prison Service saved 30% through moving to a national approach for uniforms) are not yet covered by national frameworks because forces have not been able to agree on simple items like shirts and uniforms. The Department has used its powers to compel forces to use national framework contracts on only three occasions so far.
Recommendation: The Department should determine where the greatest benefits can be achieved through either standardisation or national procurement approaches and set a clear timeframe for forces to come to agreement on these. Where forces fail to reach an agreement the Department should be prepared to enforce standard specifications.
Use of the national police procurement hub by police forces is woefully below the Department's expectations, reducing the scope to make significant savings. By June 2012, the Department had expected all police forces would be using its national police procurement hub, a dedicated online marketplace to buy police products. However, by January 2013, fewer than half of forces were using it. Only 2% of items were being bought through the hub, compared to the Department's target of 80% by the end of this parliament. The Department has promised to provide us with its plan, including milestones, for how it will turn round this current failure by police forces to procure collaboratively through the hub.
Recommendation: The Department must act to accelerate progress towards its target for items being bought through the national procurement hub. It should set out in its response actions to renew this strategy and publish comparative data showing improvement in performance over time by each force.
Whilst the cost savings that can be achieved through a much wider use of the hub should be prioritised, Police Forces should ensure that current suppliers and local SMEs are informed of the opportunities that could arise to businesses from being included as suppliers to the hub. We note that the current level of police force procurement from local SMEs stands at some 40% and efforts to improve the effectiveness of the Hub should not be at the expense of limiting opportunities for SMEs to be approved national suppliers to police forces.
Recommendation: Police Forces should actively promote the supply opportunities that exist to SMEs engaging with individual forces and supplying the Hub.
It is important that police forces recruit and train good procurement officers. There is already scepticism among police forces on the commercial competence of those working at the centre.
Recommendation: The Department should report back on how it will ensure an appropriate level of commercial expertise at both the centre and in individual police forces.
We welcome the Department's commitment to improve value for money from police procurement spending and its acceptance of the Comptroller and Auditor General's recommendations. We recognise that Commissioners have authority over local spending, but as the Department remains accountable for public money voted by Parliament it must take positive steps to achieve value for money and ensure good behaviours. We are also pleased to hear that the Accounting Officer has already written to Commissioners to establish relationships and set out his expectations on collaboration by forces, on timely submission of expenditure data, and to seek views on mandating the use of the national police procurement hub.
Recommendation: The Department should report back to the Committee in a year on progress in responding to the recommendations of both this report and the Comptroller and Auditor General's report, the actions that have been taken locally, and the savings that have been achieved.

I was reading the thread about unwritten rules of CCW, and JD's comment about being sure to have your gun, "I forgot my gun at home..." made me chuckle some.
One of my sons is a security guard, and the company office is my city, not his. He has a half hour drive to get to it, and my home is fairly close to his work. Twice now, he's had to make a quick stop at my place to borrow a gun, because he's found that his holster is empty!
His duty belt (which he did remember to wear) has the magazines for his gun, and luckily for him, one of my pistols is exactly like his. So it saves his bacon to stop and get mine.
In his defense, I have to say that he leaves his house at 4:30 a.m., and at that time of the morning I'd be a little foggy-headed too.

I played a pulsar cannon during a battle. The person I was in combat with played a Magen energy shield. My card said that if my opponent committed a Magen energy shield, it explodes, destroying all units and influence in the space. We know the units and influence are destroyed. Does my opponent get to keep his energy shield card?
thanks in advance

Beauty and Brains
A new book pays tribute to the elegance of vintage educational charts
By Amy Preiser
In The Art of Instruction, a new book of illustrated wall charts, beauty is found in unlikely places, from potato plants to jellyfish. In the early 1800s, these vibrant, graphic renderings of flora and fauna were used in schools, but were soon valued for their form borne as well as their function. Even the striking black backgrounds were rooted in purpose: to make sure that children in the back row could see the images. While these days youre more likely to finde the illustrations framed as wall decor than in a classroom, the 100 plus charts featured in bookcollected for the first time by author Katrien Van der Schuerenare a lesson in seeking out art in the everyday.

Bought EE from Home Depot and grew them in pots outside. They did great. now I am diging up the Tubers for the winter and to my suprise the Tubers are no longer round at the bottom. They look as if a spoon scooped out the bottom. There were roots growing from the tuber but I expected them to be round/oval like when I purchased them. Maybe they rotted a little but then came back. Has anyone seen this with there EE tubers |

Hi Greg, I had the same problem with my EE's. They did grow beautifully though. When I dug them up this fall they were very soft at the bottoms and spongey so I discarded them as they were a couple of years old. I overwintered them ok last year and when I planted them in the early spring they were hard and very healthy. I will look for more this coming spring and hope I can find some big bulbs. Wayne |

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 One Sabbath day Jesus was in the home of a leader of the Pharisees. The people were watching him closely, | 1 One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched. |
2 because there was a man there whose arms and legs were swollen. | 2 There in front of him was a man suffering from dropsy. |
3 Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in religious law, "Well, is it permitted in the law to heal people on the Sabbath day, or not?" | 3 Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?" |
4 When they refused to answer, Jesus touched the sick man and healed him and sent him away. | 4 But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him away. |
5 Then he turned to them and asked, "Which of you doesn't work on the Sabbath? If your son or your cow falls into a pit, don't you proceed at once to get him out?" | 5 Then he asked them, "If one of you has a son or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull him out?" |
6 Again they had no answer. | 6 And they had nothing to say. |
7 When Jesus noticed that all who had come to the dinner were trying to sit near the head of the table, he gave them this advice: | 7 When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable: |
8 "If you are invited to a wedding feast, don't always head for the best seat. What if someone more respected than you has also been invited? | 8 "When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. |
9 The host will say, 'Let this person sit here instead.' Then you will be embarrassed and will have to take whatever seat is left at the foot of the table!" | 9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, 'Give this man your seat.' Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. |
10 "Do this instead -- sit at the foot of the table. Then when your host sees you, he will come and say, 'Friend, we have a better place than this for you!' Then you will be honored in front of all the other guests. | 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, 'Friend, move up to a better place.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all your fellow guests. |
11 For the proud will be humbled, but the humble will be honored." | 11 For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." |
12 Then he turned to his host. "When you put on a luncheon or a dinner," he said, "don't invite your friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors. For they will repay you by inviting you back. | 12 Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. |
13 Instead, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. | 13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, |
14 Then at the resurrection of the godly, God will reward you for inviting those who could not repay you." | 14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous." |
15 Hearing this, a man sitting at the table with Jesus exclaimed, "What a privilege it would be to have a share in the Kingdom of God!" | 15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, "Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God." |
16 Jesus replied with this illustration: "A man prepared a great feast and sent out many invitations. | 16 Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. |
17 When all was ready, he sent his servant around to notify the guests that it was time for them to come. | 17 At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' |
18 But they all began making excuses. One said he had just bought a field and wanted to inspect it, so he asked to be excused. | 18 "But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, 'I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.' |
19 Another said he had just bought five pair of oxen and wanted to try them out. | 19 "Another said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.' |
20 Another had just been married, so he said he couldn't come." | 20 "Still another said, 'I just got married, so I can't come.' |
21 "The servant returned and told his master what they had said. His master was angry and said, 'Go quickly into the streets and alleys of the city and invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind.' | 21 "The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.' |
22 After the servant had done this, he reported, 'There is still room for more.' | 22 " 'Sir,' the servant said, 'what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.' |
23 So his master said, 'Go out into the country lanes and behind the hedges and urge anyone you find to come, so that the house will be full. | 23 "Then the master told his servant, 'Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full. |
24 For none of those I invited first will get even the smallest taste of what I had prepared for them.'" | 24 I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.' " |
25 Great crowds were following Jesus. He turned around and said to them, | 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: |
26 "If you want to be my follower you must love me more than your own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters -- yes, more than your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. | 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple. |
27 And you cannot be my disciple if you do not carry your own cross and follow me." | 27 And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. |
28 "But don't begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first getting estimates and then checking to see if there is enough money to pay the bills? | 28 "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? |
29 Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of funds. And then how everyone would laugh at you! | 29 For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, |
30 They would say, 'There's the person who started that building and ran out of money before it was finished!'" | 30 saying, 'This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.' |
31 "Or what king would ever dream of going to war without first sitting down with his counselors and discussing whether his army of ten thousand is strong enough to defeat the twenty thousand soldiers who are marching against him? | 31 "Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Will he not first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? |
32 If he is not able, then while the enemy is still far away, he will send a delegation to discuss terms of peace. | 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. |
33 So no one can become my disciple without giving up everything for me." | 33 In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple. |
34 "Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? | 34 "Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? |
35 Flavorless salt is good neither for the soil nor for fertilizer. It is thrown away. Anyone who is willing to hear should listen and understand!" | 35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out. "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." |

New Report Outlines Causes of Market Distortions Choking Recovery and Preventing New Growth Companies from Going Public
Derivatives known as "ETFs" are the true culprits in artificially setting stock prices and posing threats to market stability
The U.S. is gearing up for the launch of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) on Nov. 15. More than 1,300 U.S. organizations in all 50 states are collaborating to celebrate entrepreneurship Nov. 15 – 21. These organizations include top universities, non-profit organizations, successful entrepreneurs, government agencies and corporate sponsors. The state of California is the most active with over 106 partner organizations, closely followed by Michigan (100 partners).
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation-- courtesy of Innovation America and its founder, Rich Bendis. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week: Top 5 Tech Trends for 2011(Information Week)...
This month, millions of people around the globe will participate in the world's largest celebration of entrepreneurship. As thousands of events take place in more than 100 countries during Global Entrepreneurship Week, Washington, DC, is planning on making its mark through a number of policy events.
The following is a collaborative post by Jonathan Ortmans, president of the Public Forum Institute and a senior fellow at the Kauffman Foundation, and Anders Hoffman, Director of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Policy for Erhvervs- og Byggestyrelsen
Denmark is in many ways a paradoxical country. It has the world's highest taxes and yet Danes are among the happiest people in the world according to the U.S. National Science Foundation. Denmark has generous social benefits, a large public sector and yet is quite innovative and entrepreneurial. The Global Competitiveness Report and the Index of Economic Freedom both rank Denmark 9th on their world lists, and the Legatum Prosperity Index ranks the country 6th in entrepreneurship and innovation. Denmark did not end in the top ten of these world lists by chance. What steps and policy initiatives made this possible?
Three universities – Carnegie Mellon University, University of Missouri System and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill – are this year's "Kauffman Commercialization Leaders." This $100,000 grant award recognizes the universities' creative approaches to help accelerate the process of bringing student and faculty innovations to market.
Both houses of Congress are home campaigning for the upcoming elections.
The Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship brings to light various policies and initiatives to advance innovation and drive economic growth.

Home > News > Publications > The Journal > 2012 > October > CKHS Cancer Services and Drexel Hill Little League Host "Pink in the Park"
Young girls pose for a photo holding their CKHS Cancer Services rally towels and pretzels.
Delaware County Memorial Hospital and Crozer-Keystone Health System Cancer Services recently partnered with the Drexel Hill Little League for "Pink in the Park," an event aimed at raising awareness of breast health and breast cancer. The event was held at Dermond Field in Drexel Hill.
It was a rather cold and cloudy Saturday morning, but that didn't stop the hundreds of little leaguers from picking up their gloves. Throughout the countless baseball and softball fields, little leaguers were scattered about wearing traces of pink. Pink hats, bracelets, sweatbands, hair ties, you name it. There was even a field that had pink bases in honor of the partnership for "Pink in the Park."
Pink in the Park is a program offered by CKHS Cancer Services. For the past two years, CKHS staff has partnered with area sporting leagues - such as soccer, football, and baseball – to provide breast cancer awareness in the community where they live and play.
"We attend a day when there are several teams playing and set up an informational table providing materials on breast cancer prevention," says Debbie Simon, director of Healthline Services at DCMH. We also include information on lung, colorectal and other types of cancers. "Our staff is available to answer questions and talk to parents about the importance of screening and early detection. There are prizes, pretzels and a lot of materials for them to take home. It is a fun, interactive way to get this important information out to the community," says Simon.
Outside the snack bar, an information table was set up where DCMH Cancer Services provided tokens of appreciation to over 500 athletes. The players wore a pink wristband for awareness and received a pink or white backpack as a way of acknowledging their participation and support of breast cancer awareness.
"We saw over 200 people at our table that day," says Simon. "Our table provided information on breast health awareness. We also set aside an evening at DCMH so that the women of their organization could come for mammograms, osteoporosis screenings and leg vein screenings.
"We put together this health screening evening at DCMH for mothers, families and friends of DHLL a few weeks after the event," continues Simon. "The evening was a success. Everyone who registered had attended and appreciated all of our efforts. We had twelve women come in for mammograms; some of whom may have not gotten this important screening without being part of this program." Several women received their first mammogram that evening.

Can't wait to see it, Howze!
I have decided to install my first quest in the ship yard ( with a little poking and proding from Lady and Friend). I have already completed ten tasks tonight and hoping for about 20 more tomorrow to complete it. I am only scared that it will be too easy, and therefore eat up the prizes. Once it is finished I will announce and invite all to try, so please be honest about it. see you soon! Pirates in Port quest-Coming soon!
We are the Knights that say...."Ni"
The Weather is here, Wish you were Beautiful...
Can't wait to see it, Howze!
Ok, Pirates in Port Quest Now open, and not bad for being thrown together in less than 24 hours. Room name is now Pirates in Port quest. Good luck to all. Have fun.

The Weather is here, Wish you were Beautiful...
wow sounds great!
Got Disney?
Why do you bump a thread?

In this case there was no need to, but sometimes some good threads get forgotten, and that's why you bump them up so people can still post again on the forgotten thread...Originally Posted by Howze
ok thanks

Thank you
Yo Howze, Sorry I did not get to finish your quest. I got lost looking for the cannons in the castle and timed out. LOL I really liked the off with the heads for being taken. ROFL

Forgive me!!
I was not in a questing mood tonight
Probably because of the drive from Friends house home tired me out!! (we had a really great day though)
I hope you are opening it up tomorrow because.....
DUDE, I am so There!!!
Loves First Kiss!
Sweet , I'll have to come and do the quest...when I find time to do anything right now.....kinda crazy over here
I believe
I believe in believing - until my very last minute of truth , I don't give up . even when it will be hard to see it through
I will go on
I will go on , no matter what , still dedicated all the way through
I'll live my dreams the same way I do my life , by taking one step at a time
I will definitely check it out once all my computer problems are resolved. Between my wireless router going bad and a tornado that hit last night, it seems that the fates are keeping me off VMK. Not to mention that suddenly my work has gotten really busy which = less morning play time. Bummer.
But as soon as it slows up a bit at work and I can stay on the internet more than five/ten minutes at a time, I will certainly check it out.
Howze... I am sorry... I tried my best!
I am usually good/ok at quests but this one got to me!
I will attempt it later!
Working on it!!!
Loves First Kiss!

On Saturday we were shooting the wedding of David + Amy-Jean. They got hitched in the wine cave at The Angel Inn at Hetton and followed it up with an awesome reception and party at the fantastic Utopia within the Broughton Hall estate at Skipton.
These guys seriously know how to throw a party. We had a fantastic time shooting their wedding. At one point I was laying on the dance floor with a dozen people huddled around me dancing to Queen's 'Don't stop me now' being played by the awesome Func on the Rocks band.
As Dave + Amy-Jean got married at 3:30pm, we had no time for bride and groom shots on the day so we shot purely documentary. We asked Amy-Jean if we could come back the day after and get some Quirky Wedding Photographer Leeds shots of them in their wedding attire and they were well up for it. We spent a little time at Eden in Broughton Hall (This place is epic) getting some shots before they had their day after 'Tea Party'.
You can view Dave + Amy-Jean's full Broughton Hall Utopia wedding on the blog here.
Here's the sneak peek folks.

Back in December we headed across the border and into Scotland to shoot Sarah and Russ's Comlongon Castle wedding just outside Dumfries.
We were extremely excited about this wedding as Sarah and Russell are an awesome couple who are so in love. We knew from our first meeting with them and their St Ives pre wedding shoot that their wedding was going to be a day to remember.
Comlongon Castle is gorgeous. When we first approached we were impressed! A long driveway with trees running alongside then the castle at the end. Comlongon Castle wedding venue is an awesome place to get married. When we met Sarah and Russ they told us the time they were getting married. 5pm in December. It was going to be dark. A very dark wedding. I must say we were a little nervous about not having any natural light but then again we were really excited about testing ourselves with flash.
Sarah, her mum and bridesmaids got ready in the honeymoon suite, a very impressive place for a bunch of celebrating ladies to hang out. The champagne was flowing and everyone was really relaxed. So relaxed even one of the bridesmaids let us take a picture of her in the bath. There was laughter and crying in the room. The bridal preps is one of my favourite parts of the day with all the different emotions that happen.
Comlongon wedding Castle is full of so many delights. Just like any castle should be its got flags, moose heads, spectacular wallpaper and plenty of ancient ancestry portraiture pieces adorning its walls.
The food was to die for. We were in Scotland so haggis surely had to be on the menu (its the law isn't it?). It most certainly was!
During wedding breakfast I was racking my brain for what I was going to do for the bridal party shot, it was dark outside so it was either flash or the use of another light source, that moment I looked across the table and saw all these lovely candelabra's on the table, bingo just the lighting source and prop we needed for the shot. Following the light from the candles and all our mobiles phones we found a spot by the trees in the woodland. While we were outside I decided to get some shots of Sarah and Russ under the moonlit sky it was so cold but these guys weren't bothered. They are so in love that we didn't really have to pose them. True Love.
The wedding was very romantic, personal and laid back. Only 31 guests and it was just perfect for Sarah and Russ.
There was a duo band after the meal in the bar area and they really started the party off. These guys were absolutly brilliant! They got the guests up doing sword dancing and there was a smile on everyones face! In true Scottish traditional style lots of whiskey was being handed around and everyone was merry.
Sarah and Russ also had an evening do when they returned to Yorkshire. We have included some of these pictures at the end of our blog….

Love this blog guys! Brilliant set of shots and it looks like a fantastic wedding
SUPERB!! Loved the shot outside with the bridal party….totally amazing!
Amazing! What a beautiful setting and atmosphere. You two are so creative. Love it!
Great shots guys! Considering what little light you had to play with, you've done a fab job!

R.A. Dickey has been incredible for the New York Mets. Armed with a knuckleball that dances like Fred Astaire, Dickey made the Baltimore Orioles looks absolutely foolish last night, pitching his second straight one-hitter shutout as part of his team's 5-0 victory. The Dickster struck out a career-high baker's dozen while walking just two batters and inducing 17 swinging strikes.
Dickey is the first pitcher to throw back-to-back one-hitters since a certain fella with the Toronto Blue Jays named Dave Stieb did it back in 1988. He's the first National League pitcher to do it since Jim Tobin of the Boston Braves back in 1944.
Dickey's amazingness extends beyond just his last couple of starts, too. Over his last five starts, he hasn't allowed a single earned run, while striking out 52 and walking five of the 142 batters he's faced over 41 2/3 innings. Unsurprisingly, R.A. Dickey currently leads the National League in wins, ERA, strikeouts, WHIP, shutouts and complete games.
But that's not the whole story. He also leads all Major League starters in swinging strikes from opponents, and in the number of swings on his pitches outside of the zone. Considering his use of the knuckleball, that's hardly surprising, but what is surprising is the velocity, and the control over the velocity that Dickey exerts. When most of us think of knuckleballs, we think of Tim Wakefield's slow drifter.
However, Wakefield was never able to collect as many swinging strikes or induce as many swings at pitches outside of the strike zone. And that's because Dickey's knuckler is not Wakefield's. It comes at hitters more than ten miles per hour faster at a speed that resembles Jamie Moyer's best fastball. It moves a little less, but leaves the batter with even less time to have any clue as to what's going on.
And, as BrooksBaseball.net shows us, Dickey controls the velocity, pitching harder knucklers with less movement in two strike situations.
When most of us think of a knuckleball, we tend to imagine that it has a life of its own, and could float anywhere after it leaves the pitcher's hand. And while there's some truth to the lack of pinpoint control a knuckleballer has with his pitch, Dickey has shown a tremendous ability to exert control, not only over the velocity of his knuckleball, but also location.
We can see this by comparing location charts for the knuckleball in certain count situations. For example, Dickey often throws those higher velocity knuckle balls up in the zone when he has two strikes and a pitch or two to work with, much like we'd see a pitcher with a high velocity fastball do in a similar situation.
Here's his knuckleball location with zero balls and two strikes:
And here it is with one ball and two strikes:
Compare this to how he pitches his knuckleball on those rare occasions when Dickey falls behind in the count to a batter. Here he is at one ball and no strikes:
And at two balls and zero strikes:
This suggests to me that Dickey is indeed exerting control over his knuckleball, and may have in fact found something of a sweet spot in terms of movement and velocity that allows him to do things like this:
In baseball, we're often presented with such an overwhelming amount of data from past events, that unique moments are something of a rarity. However, Dickey's dominance with a knuckleball is something new to baseball, and it's incredibly exciting to witness. No pitcher, armed mainly with a knuckleball has been able to do what Dickey has done to date, and it's not at all unreasonable to think that if he can continue this, he'll become the first primary knuckleballer to win a Cy Young award.

Some of the best science reporters, like the best Vaudevillians, the best circus performers, the best teachers, are hungry for attention — not for themselves, but for a way to seize your mind, to bring you to an idea, a puzzle, or a creature.
You don't expect fourth-graders to be wise. They're still boys. But one, who was playing and ruminating on his back patio, had a knack for cosmology seemingly well beyond his years.
On-the-street sources say that a creature -- it appears to be our hypothetical common ancestor -- was seen trying to get a passport this morning.
Out of over 1,000 potential names for our hypothetical placental ancestor, there are only four (FOUR!) left.
Producer Lynn Levy is STILL waiting for one of the Voyager crafts to make interstellar history as the first human-made object to leave the solar system...
There are only eight contenders left to name your ancestor. And Round Three starts... NOW!
This spring, parts of the East Coast will turn squishy and crunchy -- the return of the 17-year cicadas means surfaces in certain locations (in patches from VA to CT) will once again be coated in bugs buzzing at 7 kilohertz. In their honor, we're rebroadcasting one of our favorite episodes: Emergence.
When producer Hannah Palin recorded her infant sleep journal for our Sleep episode, I wasn't yet a parent. I listened to it, and while I felt sympathy for her predicament, it didn't raise any kind of anguished emotional response. But now, I feel sick to my stomach when ...
Take our informal sleep survey, and if you've got some friendly advice on how to drift off, don't keep it to yourself!
Sandy Island, located in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Australia, occupies about about 45 square miles of the Coral Sea. It was documented in 1772 and appeared on a 1908 admiralty chart and in Google Maps. The problem is, Sandy Island never existed.
Lulu Miller's personal take on pies, in honor of Pi Day.
Today is March 14, or "3/14," the first three digits of Pi. It's a day celebrated around the (geek) world as "Pi Day." So here's the pie version of Pi, the down, dirty and baked goods approach, illustrated by Brady Haran, a video journalist who loves numbers.
It's bracket time, baby, mammal madness style.
Human history (the written-down part) began about 7,000 years ago. Here's everything we've learned in all that time, compressed into five words, spoken by a puzzled human — from a wonderfully clever Los Angeles cartoonist named Reza.
Lurking in the ground beneath our feet, waiting in their burrows for the first signs of spring are tens of millions of cicadas.
After 17 years, cicadas are expected to emerge and overwhelm a large swath of land from Virginia to Connecticut — climbing up trees, flying in swarms and blanketing grassy areas so they crunch underfoot.
What are you doing this weekend? Bet you're not using scraps from an old Toshiba TV to melt stacks of metal coins into steaming-hot foam. No? I thought not. (But we are.)
Run, cheetah, run... a paradoxically fast and slow cat has caught Andy Mills' attention...
It's already happened. We humans have already met an intelligent alien. Not only that, we almost certainly had sex with them. And we did here, right here on Earth, not so many generations ago.
What happened to the future? In the '60s and '70s, says astrophysicist Neil Tyson, kids thought about going to space, exploring; tomorrow seemed so, so near. But no longer. Our world these days, is tighter, more awake to limits, and that's not good, says Tyson, not good for kids, and especially not good for the economy. Tyson insists that dreaming makes us richer.

I plan on using reclaimed pine on my island counter top with a dark espresso stain. I have a choice to distress it with chains or let the natural grain and nots show through as the only "distress". I am concerned about the natural state being not distressed enough to hide any future scratches and signs os everyday use. What do you think? Does anyone have any opinion? |

We love the messy, casual, but monumental style of Atelier van Lieshout's Liquor Master bar cabinet, made from foam, fiberglass, and metal. Liquor Master is part of a 2009 collection that uses the human form as a jumping off point for process-based, sculptural furniture. The collection includes his similarly constructed Fossil Chaise, an object reminiscent of a piece of chewed gum, but with the added luxury of a sheepskin.
These two pieces will debut at Vivid Gallery's booth at Design Miami/Basel this June, alongside new Pyrex glassware from Jamie Hayon and the giant Silver Ware sculptures Studio Job constructed for Bisazza in 2007.

Quoted from debra 'It's like putting candy on your vegetables'
Quoted from meribelle It is kind of scarey......... does it taste different than butter?
Quoted from Mitchie I ... discovered that's what the restaurants use.
Quoted from outdoordrea Ghee can be substituted for butter in many situations, though I wouldn't use it on bread, unless you like unsalted butter on breadIf you can find Wellshire Farms turkey bacon (nitrate-free), try frying up some turkey bacon in a little ghee. OMGoodness! Yumm!
Quoted Text I wouldn't use it on bread, unless you like unsalted butter on bread.
Quoted from outdoordrea I guess since I don't like butter on my bread, it makes sense that I wouldn't like ghee on it, either. In fact, if I didn't eat bread at all, I wouldn't mind a bit.
Quoted from outdoordrea I love bread, too. Too much, in fact. I've been known to eat the whole loaf in one day..
Quoted from pkarmeier what restaurants? I'd fall over from shock if I learned one here used ghee, unless it was an Indian restaurant (or whatever culture it is that usually used it ?. but , please, do tell!!

I am a complete fan since I started using this BB creme. I tried a few others, but abandoned the tubes halfway and went back to this one - worth every cent. Maybe I am just lucky, but both the original (which adapted to skin colour and I actually still prefer) and the new version suits my skin tone. You should apply 10 minutes after your moisturiser and then need about 15 minutes for the product to settle. I have had very little need to apply extra SPF, as this covers me even in the harsh South African sun. I had breakouts before but feel my skin is much clearer since I have replaced my foundation ( also Dior) with this BB creme. With my combination skin, I do need to blot with powder a couple times a day, but I am very happy with how dewy and radiant my skin looks and my pores are visible reduced. Even my mom commented on how refined my skin looks. Also, my beautician have been converted since she tried it and is now recommending it to all her clients, with great feedback.

My skin is comboination leaning towards oily. I love so many products in the Dior line, that I had to have the BB Cream when I saw it. When I first applied it, the coverage was fantastic. It was matte, but not drying, and a great color match for my NC25 skin. Within less than a half an hour, my face was an oily mess. Not to mention, if you are in the sun, this product drips off with your sweat. It stung my eyes, as well and no longer provided the SPF coverage I purchased it for. At an eyebrow raising $60 for a small tube, this was simply not worth the investment. Perhaps if your skin is dry, you will enjoy it. Oily gals/guys beware.

The product applies easily and smoothly but is thicker than I would like. I seek that mid-weight BB that is not too sheer or too much like makeup. This is, unfortunately, just like makeup, though with a very even finish. It covers pores well. But even the lightest color skews too dark once applied. Although there is an appealing luminosity to the finish, it makes me look too old and heavily made up.

(This review is based on me using a 3 day sample of this, I cannot comment on any long term effects of the product.)
I tested this bb creme in a cosmetic store, I immediately loved how it was so rich and pigmented, though as much as I loved what I had seen and how the product felt on me in the store, I just didn't purchase it straight away because of the price, it is far more expensive than any other bb cream or foundation that I have ever come across and I didn't want to make any expensive mistakes.. Instead I asked the sales associate at the store if I may have a sample and she was kind enough to squirt some into a small container that I could try out at home and see how I may like it. I had enough product for 3 applications and this is my review.
The product spreads with ease and very nicely over the face, it feels very light and comfortable. I used a small brush which is specifically designed for applying bb creams (brand is kicks). I doted the product with my finger over small areas of the face and continued to spread and blend using the brush. Since the product is very pigmented only a small bit was required to get a nice, even coverage.
I find it necessary to set this bb cream with some loose powder otherwise it does look very shiny and somewhat wet. With the setting powder it does appear less shiny and still gives my face this healthy looking glow which looks like my own skin and not like I am wearing any foundation or make-up.. even my Husband commented at how 'fresh' I was looking and thought it was all natural. You may wear this on it's own for those days where you might not feel like doing a full face of make-up but just want to even out your complexion to hide minor imperfections or you may also just replace your foundation with this as it does give a very nice seamless coverage comparable to medium foundation. If you have dark or pronounced pigmentation marks on your face then you may continue to use a concealer to cover them up but it does hide most discolorations very well.
One downside to this product is that there are only 3 shades available at the moment which I don't think everyone will be lucky enough to find a shade that will suite them. I am a NC42 in Mac make up and tried on the colour 003 which is their darkest colour. This shade was just slighty darker and a tad too warm for my skin tone, I do think it would suite me perfectly in the summer with a little tan on though. The next shade lighter (002) was far, far too light for me. I think the 003 shade will suite anyone who is a NC 44 or 45 perfectly.
I found this BB cream to have a very glowy and dewy effect which I loved, If you're looking for a matte finish then this won't work for you. It is quite moisturizing and is probably better suited for people with drier skin tones. If you have oilier skin then I recommend you ask for a sample first and test it out as it doesn't have oil absorbing or oil control properties. I have oily/combination skin and as much as I loved it on right after being applied I found that I had to touch up with powder quite often throughout the day otherwise I would look really, really greasy which Is a shame as It seems like a good product but just not for my skin type. I have not had any break outs or a bad reaction in these days of using it. The sun protection in it is definitely a plus.
I will not be purchasing a full size at the moment as my skin is just oilier than normal at the moment and this bb cream is not suited for me right now, I would still buy it if my skin gets less oily which is something that I'm working on..

This is an awesome product, but not without faults. As other reviewers have said, the shade selection is crappy and i wish Dior would reconsider and make shade between 01 and 02, since the lightest one had pink undertones and makes people with yellow light undertones look ashy, while the next shade up definitely warms up the face quite a bit, therefore making it look orange-ish. I was very interested in trying the product and asked for a sample. To make it appear lighter, i mixed it with my Jouer matte moisture tint in Linen. That combination is perfect for me. It's mattifying, yet it makes my skin look very natural and flawless. I think i will purchase the full size since i wasn't able to find another mattifying BB cream (my beloved Lumene is a tad too moisturizing this time a year for me). If only there was just one additional shade, it would be perfect.

I really loved how this product looked on my skin. It blend very well and looks just beautiful.
I bought the color Golden Peach. I would definitely buy this product again and recommend this foundation to other people. I still don't know if this foundation cause me to break out because I only used it once, I really hope not!

This would be such a good bb cream if i bought the right shade for me. I bought the shade which is really orangey by a mistake thanks to weird lightning in the store.When i got home, i was like "How could i be so silly!" Cuz you know, its a dior product!! Coverage is awesome! Product itself is very thin that you might think "Omg how this formula can cover up my face!" But it can, girlfriend. It has a strange scent which is not bad but not good either. I loove the packaging!! If i got its right shade i would give it 5!! Anyways i might buy it again with selecting the right shade this time

I received a sample of Dior's Hydralife BB Cream at Sephora and was super excited to try it out. This was when the BB hype had really begun and I had been itching to try some so that I could know whether I wanted to invest in a full sized product.
-Great, velvety texture
-Great coverage that isn't too heavy or opaque; flaws were still camouflaged though
-Very few shades to choose from. When I received my sample Dior was currently only carrying one shade that was supposed to blend into any skin shade. Nope! I don't even consider myself pale and it still made my skin muddy and orange. *Dior has since added 2 more shades, but that still means that there are only 3 shades for all skin tones.
-The price is just crazy. I don't mind paying more for a truly great product, but there are so many other BB creams that are better that cost less.
It's not that it's a terrible product, but when you compare it to other BB creams on the market (Bobbi Brown, MAC, Stila, Smashbox) it just doesn't bode so well.

I went to Sephora to buy Urban Decay eyeshadow and was given a sample of this delectable little treat for the skin. I have never tried a BB Creme before now. I have medium/fair skin tone so the Golden Peach works best for me. I loved it so much I will be going back this week to purchase a tube of this BB Creme. Yes, it cost $56 but it is so worth it. It works well in the hot humid summers of good ole North Carolina. It has no smell that I can detect, the texture is divine, lightweight and it really covers without looking like you have on makeup. I have oily skin and even this does not make my oil skin worse. Though, I admit it might be because I do use a primer before using the BB Creme. Regardless, I highly, highly recommend this stuff. Splurge ladies...you only have one face might as well treat it well. THANK YOU CHRISTIAN DIOR!

Best BB cream on the market as far as I'm concerned. Improves skin, and covers leaving a natural complexion... This is my second summer with it and I've yet to burn, thanks to the high SPF!

Half-Life 2 Headcrab Hat: Hair & Mind Control
ThinkGeek is now selling an officially licensed plush Headcrab Hat. It sits on top of your head and doesn't cover your face. Because that would just be silly.
The hat has an adjustable baseball cap-style closure at the back and is made of polyester. We think.
Prepare a crowbar and a torch and head to ThinkGeek to order the hat. It costs $30 (USD) and possibly your free will.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - The case against a woman in the shooting death of her husband will now go to the Bullitt County Grand Jury for possible indictment.
Betty Harder, 44, has been charged with murder for the Jan. 19 shooting death of her husband, Ross A. Harder.
On Tuesday, District Judge Jennifer Porter heard enough evidence to waive the case to the grand jury.
Det. Steve Clark of the Shepherdsville Police Department said officers were called to the South Shore Drive home around 7:20 p.m.
NICHOLS - A second individual has been charged in a burglary that hit a church in western Bullitt County last summer.
Already in the Bullitt County Detention Center on other charges, Brandon Scott Street, 28, of Louisville, confessed to Det. Scotty McGaha of the Bullitt County Sheriff's Department his role in the June burglary.
In the interview, McGaha said Street told him exactly how he broke into Sunnyside Baptist Church on June 11, 2009.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - A tract of property that was the target of pair of lengthy pieces of litigation may be leaving the corporate limits of Shepherdsville.
The Rogers Group has requested that the city of Shepherdsville deannex the 128 acres taken into the boundaries in 1999.
The property was under a different owner at the time of the annexation request in an effort to get a favorable rezoning for expansion plans at the quarry.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - County officials reached a compromise to the issue of whether Bullitt Fiscal Court should hold night meetings.
After resident Bernie Brown mentioned that possibility several months ago, the court opted to try an approach which might serve the same purpose.
Bullitt Fiscal Court will host a special public forum on Thursday, Feb. 18, at 7 p.m. in the courthouse.
The special meeting will be to allow the public to come out and ask questions.
Bullitt County Public Schools will be closed Tuesday, Feb 16, due to inclement weather.
The decision was made by school board officials Monday afternoon.
For more information call 869-8000.
A total of 5 to 7 inches of snow was reported by the National Weather Service in Louisville.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) reported that many roadways, particularly those with less traffic volume, will likely remain hazardous.
FAIRDALE - A first half of hope turned into a second half of frustration on Tuesday for the Bullitt East Chargers in their showdown with district rival Fairdale.
Bullitt East played a strong first half, pushing the margin to 10 points and then leading 28-20 at halftime. That lead evaporated in the third quarter and after freshman Trey Rakes tied the game at 51-51 with 4:50 remaining in the game, Fairdale closed with a 12-5 run to win 63-56.
FAIRDALE - No Kayla Thacker was no problem for the Bullitt East Lady Chargers on Tuesday as the red and gold rolled on the road to a 48-32 victory over Fairdale, taking a stranglehold on the top spot in the 24th District seeding race.
HEBRON ESTATES - For the first time since the two schools both became members of the 24th District, Southern pulled a sweep on Tuesday, taking both games in a girl/boy doubleheader.
Despite playing at home, it was slow starts in both games that proved to be too difficult for the Eagle teams to overcome.
First, the North Bullitt Lady Eagles fell behind 19-9 in the first quarter and trailed 35-20 halftime. Not even a 29-point fourth quarter could rally the Lady Eagles as Southern won 71-62.
LOUISVILLE - There is never a good time to have a bad shooting night, but the Bullitt East Lady Chargers found one of the worst times of the season to misfire during a 35-28 loss to Sacred Heart in the team's opening round game of the 2010 Girls' Louisville Invitational Tournament.
Bullitt East, the fourth-seeded team in the tournament, lost to fifth-seeded Sacred Heart a night after the Valkyries had barely beaten 12th-seeded Fern Creek 51-49.

Even if you're not the world's biggest blues fan, you've probably heard at least one song by Chris Thomas King, a Grammy-winning singer and guitarist who's at Chan's on Thursday night.
The reason: When he's not tearing it up on stage, King has a knack for turning up in major Hollywood movies — notably the 2000 Coen brothers hit "O Brother, Where Art Thou?," where he played the role of Tommy Johnson, a character loosely based on real-life blues legend Robert Johnson. (In the movie, King performs a terrific version of "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues," a song made famous by another legendary bluesman: Skip James.)
Since then, King has appeared in several other big-budget movies, including the Oscar-winning Ray Charles biopic, "Ray." Obviously, the movie roles haven't done King's music career any harm. But as you'll find out on Thursday, he's a genuine talent, with the chops, the voice and the stage presence to rival any blues performer working today.
As usual, the show starts at 8 p.m. For more, call (401) 765-1900 or visit chanseggrollsandjazz.com.
