Township Supervisor Gary Vician has estimated aggregation could produce cost savings for the nearly 1,000 unincorporated households.
Township officials made the decision to put the issue to a vote after a similar plan produced significant savings in the township's waste collection services.

When the Animal becomes a Master
on September 12th, 2013Print This Post
by Sophie Gayot
Working in the world of chefs and restaurants, I see the name "Lexus" very often. The car company, which started with two luxury sedans in 1989, loves food. Over the years, it has become a sponsor of major culinary events throughout the country.
To reinforce that passion, the Lexus Culinary Masters team was created in 2011. Two new chefs have just been added to the circle: Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo from Animal restaurant on Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles. They joined Daniel Boulud, chef/owner of Daniel (one of GAYOT's Top 40 Restaurants in the U.S. since 2004); Michael Chiarello, chef/owner of Bottega and Coqueta; Dean Fearing, chef/partner of Fearing's restaurant; Christopher Kostow, executive chef of The Restaurant at Meadowood (one of GAYOT's 2013 Top 40 Restaurants in the U.S.); Masaharu Morimoto, chef/owner of Morimoto restaurants; Michael Symon, chef/owner of Lola Bistro; and Michelle Bernstein, chef/owner of Michy's.

While we've all put in the hours—and the elbow grease—buffing hoods and waxing wheels and spritzing windshields with streak-free solutions, few of us take the time to care adequately for our cars' interiors. However, upholstery upkeep is an essential part of any vehicle cleaning regimen, especially for those of us with leather or vinyl surfaces that can quickly crack or fade when neglected. Thankfully, Mothers has your seats (literally) covered with its line of LeatherTech car care products.

Aston Martin Introduces Alternative Fuel Vehicles — Car News
on June 25th, 2013Print This Post
While Aston Martin has long been known for its fast and fuel-thirsty luxury vehicles, a pair of recent partnerships hint at the British badge's increasing interest in alternative fuels. In May, Aston Martin made racing history by entering the first hydrogen-powered car in an FIA-sanctioned event at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. The result of a collaboration with powertrain specialist Alset Global, the Aston Martin Hybrid Hydrogen Rapide S was also the first car to complete emission-free laps in an international race—at times at speeds of up to 160 mph. Fitted with the same 6.0-liter V12 as the base model Rapide, the four-door sports car can run on pure gaseous hydrogen, standard gasoline, or a combination of both. Although it has already proven itself road-worthy after this grueling event, a production version of the Hybrid Hydrogen Rapide is at least another five years away.

Unless you're a hard-core gearhead, you might not know that the condition of your car's fuel system, which transports fuel from your gas tank to the engine, can have an enormous effect on the engine's performance.
The fuel system (including the fuel tank, fuel pump and filter, emission control system and fuel injector) is susceptible to all types of harmful deposits that can gradually reduce engine power, fuel efficiency and driveability over time.
Enter the STP Gas Booster Concentrated Fuel System Treatment – a powerful fuel additive designed to eliminate these deposits in order to restore your engine to peak performance.

GM Partners with AT&T to Bring Wi-Fi to Vehicles — Car News
on March 21st, 2013Print This Post
General Motors recently announced a partnership with AT&T that will bring 4G connectivity to most of its vehicles by 2014. With the new 4G system, cars will act as mobile Wi-Fi hotspots, allowing for back-seat video streaming, more sophisticated navigation and wireless internet access for multiple devices. While some companies such as Ford Motors are relying on systems that work through drivers' smart phones, GM notes that an in-car 4G system would transfer data ten times faster than existing 3G networks, and holds the potential for constant updates and upgrades through the use of apps. Although the technology is still in the developmental stages, production is on the horizon and consumers can expect 4G in most 2015 model year Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles. However, while General Motors may be the first out of the gates with Wi-Fi on the road, don't be surprised to see other automakers follow suit in the near future — luxury brands such as Audi and BMW have already expressed interest in developing similar systems.

Wiley settled all doubt about that at the last Walmart FLW Tour event of the year on the Potomac River, where he finished 12th in the tournament and 27th in the yearly standings. It was his best finish in the three years he's fished the Tour, and provided him his first shot at winning the Cup and its top prize of $500,000. The Potomac locked him in.

Veteran Walmart FLW Tour pro Michael Williamson is recovering in a Houston hospital after suffering a stroke Saturday morning while visiting his mother. Williamson, 58, was preparing to go fishing when he was stricken just before sunrise. He retained some mobility and speech and was able to communicate his condition to his mother, Barbara Williamson. He was than transported to a hospital. Saturday evening, Williamson was undergoing tests in Houston's Memorial Hermann Neurosurgical Unit, according to his wife, Judy. Williamson, who lives in Fort Smith, Ark., has fished as a Tour pro since 2011 and often travels with Texas lure maker Gary Yamamoto. Williamson was scheduled to attend next week's ICAST fishing tackle show in Orlando, then fly to New York to compete in the Rayovac FLW Series Northern Division tournament on Lake Champlain.

Lesley Professor Ben Mardell helps revamp Boston Public Schools' early-education curriculum, inspires hands-on learning
Friday, July 11, 2014
The booklet, authored by Lesley early childhood graduate student Rocio Limas, recounts how Boni cares for the earth by cutting down on the amount of trash she produces. The book ends with tips for how kindergartens can take care of our planet.
Limas' booklet is one of 40 that Lesley University students created this spring that were distributed to Boston Public School kindergartens. Each booklet recounts how a Boston-area resident contributes to making the city a more ecologically sustainable place to live.
The booklets are part of Boston's new "Focus on K-2" curriculum that has been developed by Lesley education professor Ben Mardell and his Boston College colleague Megina Baker, in conjunction with Boston's Department of Early Childhood. The hands-on, experience-based curriculum is taught through four thematic units of study: Our Community; Animals and Habitat; Construction; and Our Earth. It was rolled out at 50 elementary schools this year, and will be fully implemented in 78 schools next year, reaching over 4,000 children.
"'Focus' is based on what we know about childhood development and how children learn: through active engagement and asking questions," says Dr. Mardell. "In the past 15 to 20 years, many kindergartens have devolved into places of direct instruction, passive learning, and children spending far too much time sitting individually at desks. We know this is not how young children learn best. In some ways, the new curriculum is back-to-the-future: good early childhood education that has children involved in hands-on, active learning, and uses children's natural curiosity to engage them in deep inquiry."
The impetus for the new curriculum was rooted in research showing that direct instruction doesn't improve performance on standardized tests, explains Boni, the protagonist of the recycle booklet and program developer for Boston Public Schools' Department of Early Childhood. Meanwhile, the new Common Core state standards, which are being adopted in Massachusetts, call for innovative and collaborative instruction.
"This is really helping teachers to shift their pedagogical thinking around how it is that children learn, and how they can articulate their ideas in different ways," said Boni. "Having Ben Mardell collaborate with us has really inspired the way our department thinks about doing work with teachers, and it will have a long-lasting impact on the experience that our children are having in Boston."
In Maggie Hennessy's classroom at the Blackstone Innovation School, reading the book about Boni is part of the "Our Earth" unit. The unit concludes by asking children to identify a sustainable practice – such as recycling or community gardening – that they work to convince their community to embrace.
"We are providing them with role models, people who are taking action in everyday life for themselves and the community," Mardell notes.
Hennessy sees her kindergarteners responding to the new "Focus on K-2" curriculum. She observes the children's excitement as they read the Caretaker books, and the information resonates when they meet the people featured in the books and ask them questions.
"The new curriculum gives them a more meaningful context to engage in using language, and it's also about fostering an independent sense of learning," says Hennessy, a sheltered English immersion teacher who is also a PhD student at Lesley. "It gives children the opportunity to have ownership over their ideas and think for themselves. They're not just regurgitating the information and hitting data points that are so relied upon in public education. This has students delve into the material and understand deeper concepts, like being a caretaker of our earth and what that means for people and communities."
Mardell and Boni say the premise for writing the "Focus on K-2" curriculum was rooted in the belief that children as young as 5 and 6 are capable of profound inquiry and collaborative problem solving. The curriculum also imbues key tenets of civics at an early age, as well as the arts, science investigations, mathematics and literacy.
"It's really important for children to have hands-on experience to develop creativity and critical-thinking skills," said Boni. "It's been exciting to see kids thinking about citizenship and responsibility in such exciting new ways that have not been part of what we have done in Boston before."
Dr. Mardell, who has a wealth of experience in creating engaging and compelling early childhood curriculum, has also worked on early childhood policy.
"If we turn our schools into test prep factories, at the end of the day, they may do OK on the MCAS, but they won't be the kind of citizens we want," he says. "Since the outset, Lesley has been a leader in early childhood education, so I take those ideas from the incubator at Lesley and bring them out into the field to help Boston Public Schools and other teachers and organizations who are interested in the best practices in early childhood education."
"I think Lesley University has had a huge impact, not just on the Blackstone school, but on our district at large," Boni added.

It also features a large 48 ounce BPA Free Eastman Tritan™ copolyester jug fitted with a permanent Hemisphere™ Blade and Bowl System.
The blade design and high torque motor delivers quiet and efficient blending performance, while the contoured bowl design minimizes food traps and makes for easy cleaning.
I was always frustrated with my old blender. It would never blend well unless it had at lease 2-3" of material in it. And it wasn't very powerful. I got rid of it and I bought the Breville and I couldn't be happier. It is a brilliant design. The way the blades are designed, it brings stuff up from the bottom, so it will blend very small amounts of material. It is also very powerful. It will crush ice, it has a pulse function and 5 different speeds and it shuts down automatically after 60 seconds, if you want to leave it running and attend to other kitchen tasks. It also has two preprogrammed buttons, one for crushing ice and one for making smoothies, which automatically adjusts the blending time and speeds and shut off after 60 seconds. I highly recommend this blender. It is well worth the moneyReview by Mark (on 12/16/13)
I just made my first smoothie with this blender, using the smoothie pre-programmed button, and I love it! It's so much quieter than my old one, and did all the work, including the pulsing.Review by Casey (on 2/9/13)

Edmodo was founded six years ago to provide K-12 teachers, school officials, students, and parents with a closed, private learning network that they could use to connect and collaborate with each other. Today, educators, students, and parents from around the world have signed up to use Edmodo as their preferred learning platform. One key reason: our longstanding commitment to user privacy.
Edmodo is different from many other education technology companies. Created by educators for educators, we have a direct relationship with the teachers, parents, and students using our platform. Because of that, user trust is critical to us. That's why we've built a number of privacy protections directly into our product, including the following:
At Edmodo, we're interested in improving learning, not commercializing it. We see it as part of our mission to educate our users on privacy-related issues and we've created this web page to provide educators, students, and parents with privacy best practices and guidelines, as well as industry resources.
Technology is powerful and can effectively change the future of education. We believe in the cause of enhancing student learning. We're passionate about it, we're committed to it, and we believe we can accomplish better learning outcomes and protect student privacy at the same time.

Emily Leach, CIPP/US, takes a look at the future of technology in education and what that means for student privacy (IAPP)
Edmodo is a completely safe learning environment. There are so many layers of protection built in and opportunities for student guidance without the clutter and confusion you typically see on other platforms.
Michael Cammilleri, 4th Grade Teacher, Ashley Elementary
One of the things I love most about Edmodo is that it allows students the freedom to share ideas, thoughts, and questions about what they're learning with their classmates and teachers—all within a safe and secure network that can only be accessed by teachers, parents, and students who have a special code specific to their group.
Michael Bruder, 4th Grade Teacher, Hilltop Drive Elementary School
Edmodo was created by two IT engineers who know the importance of keeping all stakeholders safe in the virtual world—that's why they developed such an inclusive platform where parents and administrators are involved. I have total control of my classroom so I can keep my students protected. It really has transformed the way I teach.
Sheryl Place, ELL Teacher, Miami Killian Senior High
Safety is of utmost importance for administrators in modern schools, and Edmodo is doubtless one of the safest internet learning platforms available. It's no wonder other schools are raving about its features and capabilities for both inter- and intra-school communication and collaboration. In my own distance-learning projects through Edmodo, my students have enjoyed collaborating with students at great distances and I've felt secure that they were safe from online intrusions. If that had not been the case, I would never have committed to an online learning setting.

Hey, Blake Lively's just a friendly girl! Hot off the hub-bub that Blake and Ryan Reynolds got close on the Green Lantern set, and that she cuddled with Ryan Gosling at the Blue Valentine premiere, Page Six now says the Gossip Girl star spent quality time with Leonardo DiCaprio at Jeremy Renner's birthday bash last week. "They were on the balcony together for an hour," says their source. "They were standing close in a corner and looked like there was a lot of flirting. Later, they were together again by the bar."
Speaking of bars, didn't Leo spend New Year's in Hawaii with girlfriend Bar Rafaeli? They certainly looked happy paddle surfing, so we doubt those two are on the outs—plus Leo left the party with bro Kevin Connolly, not Blake. But if he does decide to spend more time with the aspiring movie star, we are soooo going with "Leovely" as their nickname. Gosling, Reynolds, DiCaprio…Penn Badgley must feel like training wheels right now.

Emperor X tuning
I've bought my first head yesterday, since my drums came with good heads two years ago there was no need for me to buy new ones. So, I bought the Remo EmperorX yesterday for my snare.
I have a Tama Rockstar steel snare, 14x6.5 I think, and I've tuned it with the reso at the lowest clear note and the batter pretty tight (I don't know how much turns), now it has some ring to it but it sounds not as 'alive' as I like it to be. I am afraid of over stressing the head, since it's my first head I've bought and tuned from scratch so to say.
Do you have tips for me? Should I tune the reso tighter or tighten up the batter?
Does anyone have experience with the EmperorX and does it have to sound more dead then other heads?
By the way, I used to have a clear kind of Ambassador no name brand.
Thanks for the input :-).
Re: Emperor X tuning
The Emperor X is a very heavy head, and it will sound dead and low no matter how you tune it. It's a very specialised head, and I'd not recommend it for general playing.
I play Kumu Drums. I also shoot videos.
Re: Emperor X tuning
You have the bottom head way too loose. I have used the same head. It will sound best with the top and bottom heads tuned up on the tight side.
Re: Emperor X tuning
I've got an Emperor X on a 14x6.5 metal snare and I agree with what wolfmoon said. You really need to tighten the bottom and top heads higher up. You aren't going to break this head by tightening it up because of how thick it is. It takes a while to get this head tuned right, but when you do it is an excellent head, in my opinion.
Re: Emperor X tuning
@ Wavelength: I already thought so. I might fix up snare with an Ambassador single ply type of head, so I can use that for other stuff than rock.
Re: Emperor X tuning
I think its irresponsible to advise someone not to use a product if you have no experience using the product.
Crank the Emp X tight . . . when it comes to life, you've got it.
Now I will agree with Wavelenght that if you aren't a heavy hitter and you're playing softer music then the Emperor X is pointless.
Re: Emperor X tuning
My opinions: (arrived at after hundreds of hours experimenting) The snare reso head should be the tightest head on your kit with the snare batter the 2nd tightest. A tight snare really carries well, especially unmiked. Hence the saying, tight as a snare drum. Make sure you tension your heads as evenly as possible, bringing them up slowly, no more than 1/8 turn per screw, less is better, and make as many trips around the drum as it takes to bring it up evenly, don't do a linear 12 oclock 6 oclock pattern, go around the drum, respect it's roundness. Drumset tuning is an art, and isn't easy, and can be very time consuming...but the results are well worth the effort. An understanding of the acoustic physics involved really helps. I think out of all the instruments, the drumset is the hardest to tune. It's relatively easy to get one drum sounding good, but to tune a whole set so the intervals are pleasing, and each drum is within it's happy zone, takes time and know how.
Re: Emperor X tuning
I just put the Emperor X on my Premier 14"x5" Chrome shell. After using a single ply this was a change.
I started from scratch and took my time - New top skin, new bottom AND new snare wires.. I knew the sound I wanted. Kind of an Alex Van Halen but with even more of a crack. The steel is perfect for me and the sound I like although it tends to have a lot of top end and not much mid or low, plus it tends to have an abundance of ring.
The Emperor X is a great choice for this. I started on the bottom though. A Remo Ambassador Hazy Snare for the snare side. I went right ahead and tightened this to the maximum. That point at which the extremely thin snare bottom starts to stretch and not raise in pitch, then backed off slighty. Yep - that tight!
Then put on a new set of wires. I went for the "best" (imo) Puresound and used the "Blaster" series which places more pressure on the snare wires. These are very good snares.
I then placed the batter side (Emperor X of course) and I tightened it to a med-high tension to START.
Placed the snare on the stand and started with the wires at the loosest setting and progressively tensioned to get the sound I wanted - Nice snare wire sustain without choking the drum and give a good, even balance between shell sound and snare sound. One thing I did do was slightly loosen the 4 lugs (two on either side) of the snare wires - about half a turn.
Then I started playing. I'd play a bit then I'd tension up the top head 1/8 of a turn then played it, then another 1/8 turn up and played - repeated this until I got the sound I liked. The result was a high to very high tension - it was pretty tight. I actually had to change the hoop as it only had 1.6mm steel hoop and it was flexing at each lug. Flicked on a 2.3mm heavy duty hoop and totally solved that. Plus it gave a more powerful rimshot.
Holy crap does the drum sound amazing! I mean beyond what I expected. The Emperor X - being a thick head - gives the drum more mid and bottom end than a single ply, yet with the high tension gave an amazing crack yet with depth you wouldn't normally get from chrome/steel shells. The snare wires were not very tight as I liked a bit of sustain and sensitivity. You can barely drop the stick on the outer edge and the snares activate. I did add a thin donut (strip of mylar just sitting around the edge of the drum 1" wide) to cut the extra ring.
Totally loving this sound! Hope this helps someone out there!!!

I Drove 200 miles for a Good Night's Rest
Last night's bedtime routine was the same as any other only with the soothing sounds of heavy rains and crashing winds. The power lasted until about 9pm, when it started to flash and flicker before completely abandoning us. With each brief blackout I headed upstairs to reset the kid's clocks and sleep machines trying to ensure they would not wake fearful in a room filled with nothing but darkness. Unfortunatly my efforts were for nothing, because the lights inevidably went dark and I was left…See More

Canonical Announces Metal as a Service
Canonical's MAAS "metal-as-a-service" provisioning tool is available for testing in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 and LTS.
Canonical has announced a new provisioning tool, MAAS (for metal-as-a-service) which lets system administrators provision hyperscale deployments of physical servers. According to the website, MAAS is designed for horizontally scaled environments, such as big data workloads and internal clouds, but works just as well for any cloud-like deployment.
Mark Shuttleworth says: "Metal as a Service – MAAS – is a new way of thinking about physical infrastructure. Compute, storage and network are commodities on the metal just as they are commodities in the cloud. MAAS lets you treat farms of servers as a malleable resource for allocation to specific problems, and for re-allocation on a dynamic basis."
According to the announcement, the tool's web front end makes it easy for administrators to quickly add, update, commission, deploy, and retire physical servers. The web dashboard provides an at-a-glance overview of the status of the MAAS cluster, letting administrators easily see how much computing resource is available for deployment.
The MAAS roadmap calls for an update to MAAS with each point release of 12.04 LTS, extending the capabilities and range of hardware certified and supported by both Ubuntu and the MAAS.
MAAS is available for testing in 12.04 Beta 2, with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS scheduled for general availability on April 26, 2012. For more information, Click here.

I decided to open a specific topic about the Dutch golfer Joost Luiten. That way people who are not interested in my posts about him won't be bothered in regular topics (not that I will never mention him ever there), and people who are interested in Luiten can follow interesting things here. Today I seeked contact with his father trough his official website to ask him if I can use updates on his personal site here (translated by me) or if they can do anything else for me to put here (for example little reports about his experience on PGA Tour events). I just got an e-mail back sending his phone number asking me to call him so hopefully something nice will come out of that; I will do so tomorrow.
Anyway, I couldn't help noticing that Luiten is not very familiar by golf fans in the USA. That makes sence, since he mostly plays on the European Tour and this year is the first time within the top 50 of the world (so also the first year he plays all the big tournaments). His track record last year and this year is quite impressive, yet to be honest on the really big tournaments his performance was slightly disappointing. Augusta T26 was fine (considering it was his debut there). The lack of one really big result on one of those tournaments is THE reason he is not in the Ryder Cup yet. In points he is very close, and with a good result on the PGA Championship he might get there after all......
Luiten, born in 1986, went pro in 2006. Before that, as an amateur, he won in 2004 the Dutch Boys Championship, Dutch Youths Championship and the Sir Henry Cooper Junior Masters. In 2005 he won both the Spanish as the German amateur championships. In teams he won in 2006 the Eisenhower Trophy where he played his final 5 holes in -6 (which gave him a wild card for the KLM Open, finishing 2nd), the Bonallack Trophy and the Palmer Cup.
As a pro he won on the Challenge Tour the Allianz Open of Toulouse (2007) and on the Alps Tour Circolo Rapallo Open. His first 'real' victory (European Tour) came in 2011, Ishkandar Johor Open. In the meantime Luiten suffered from a wrist injury which costed him quite some time. 2013 he really put himself on the map with two victorys in one year, the Austrian Open and on home soil his biggest and nicest victory ever on the KLM Open. That vicotry placed him on top of the Ryder Cup rankings at that moment. He ended the year within the top 50 of the world for the first time, as a result he will play in almost every 'big' tournament in 2014.
In 2013/2014 he played twice in a team match for Europe. At the Seve Trophy he was the best debut player ever (with Lourdy) winning all their matches together; his single match was lost though, but Europe won the trophy for the first time in over ten years. On request by McGinlay he also played for Europe in the EurAsia Cup. Pairing with Dubuisson they won 1 match and they lost 1, and at the singles Luiten was the only player for Europe (besides Jimenez) who won his singles match, resulting in a tie for the trophy.
In 2014 he is having quite a solid year. Playing steady, having a lot of high finishes and until a few weeks ago barely missed a cut. Only thing missing is a victory, came close a couple of times (twice missed by 1 shot).
Hope this is interesting for at least some of you, and maybe you will check his scores now every now and then (ánd you know now a little bit who Luiten is when you see him on the leaderboard). I will use this topic to update on his performances, and it can also used for discussion about him, his performances, the tournaments he plays him (who knows, maybe next year full time on the PGA Tour), news etc. Thanks for reading and participating!

Interior Insider: Abigail BrownNov 01, 2011
With birds being this season's hottest trend, it was no surprise that our radar homed in on designer Abigail Brown's wonderful hand crafted menagerie at this year's Origin Craft Fair in London. And since we clapped eyes on her fabric creations, we've been desperate to ask her all about them.
The Surface Decoration and Printed Textiles graduate has worked as a designer and illustrator of children's books, children's wear, stationery and greeting cards, and produced work for the advertising industry - all whilst continually exploring ideas in fabrics for herself, and it is that fabric work that has caught the attention, and imagination of the design world.
We caught up with Abigail to ask her where it all started…
Where did your interest in birds originate and what attracted you to making them into artworks?
I'd been making a lot of drawings of birds, enjoying the form and creating my own style of representing the feathers. I made a range of clay birds and tried one in papier-mâché. Around that time I was making little animals in fabric, plush toys created from my character drawings. Then a friend asked if I could make a fabric birds for an antique cage she had. I really enjoyed making that first little bird and when I investigated further with the idea I found it appealed to many other people too, so the whole thing just grew from there.
What is your design process?
I start by sourcing images of the chosen bird from different angles so I can understand the form and its markings and colour. From there I create drawings which result in a paper template which is used to build the basic body shape. Once stuffed and with the wire insert, I build all the layers of fabric on top, and finally add the tiny hand stitched details.
Which piece is your favourite?
I am very fond of the flamingo, which isn't as true a representation as my other species of birds have been. The colours in its wings and tail are so striking.
But generally when I create a new piece, if it's worked out well, then it's my new favourite.
Any plans to branch out even further (you've already got The Weirdlets, butterfly brooches and the Foxens)?
I'm currently enjoying concentrating on birds because there is so much colour and variety. I am constantly discovering new species and there's still a long list I wish to recreate.
To work in the same way with animals creates issues: I won't get the bright colours, their forms are so much more complex meaning they will take much longer to complete and would be very costly.
When I have time to experiment with other ideas in fabric I develop my creature characters. These are fanciful and allow me to bring in colour and play with the form to make it simpler. So yes, occasionally I do move away from birds but there are no plans for any permanent move!Can you tell us what your home is like?Read on
I live with my boyfriend in a rented flat. It was intended to be a commercial property: open plan, mezzanine level, floor to ceiling windows at the front opening onto the street. It was a huge white box when we moved in, with amazing light which was the appeal. We'd both intended on picking a property with history and interesting features but when we found this one we couldn't say no.
Downstairs is a big open living space with a separate toilet and shower room and the whole of the upper level is our bedroom. The lower space is very colourful, bright, bold patterned cushions on the sofa, a mix of prints, illustrations and photos on the wall, some beautiful pieces of old furniture: a tall wooden locker and an E.Gomme side board. My boyfriend loves to buy plants and the stairway is like a jungle with overgrown plants lining the path.
Upstairs is calmer: a muted palette, white, wood, some black and some subtle hints of colour. I'm quite a girly girl so there are more feminine touches upstairs: some of my favourite dresses on display, necklaces hung from hooks on the wall. Our current project is creating a family photo wall with some real treasures from the family photo collections. We also have a huge fancy dress box which
What do you like about the space you've created?
It feels very personal, comfortable and homely but it also feels quite playful as well.
What are the most important things a home should provide?
It should be a respite from the stresses and strains that can exist outside of it. We should be able to control the things that go on in our own home and it's very important to my boyfriend and I that our home makes us happy, keeps us calm and is somewhere we are proud to welcome people into.
Abigail's birds start at £65 for a little swan and go up to £1242 for her large blue peacock design, but as every item is unique, don't expect your favourite to be around forever! Discover more of Abigail's intricate and beautiful work for yourself on her website.

The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of cellular proteins is a critical component in the regulation of all biological processes. The signaling molecules known as protein tyrosine kinases and phosphatases are essential mediators of this type of regulation. They are responsible for maintaining a steady-state level of specific phosphotyrosine proteins which will influence the functional state of the cell. Mutations or dysfunction in these molecules is associated with many animal and human diseases including deadly bacterial infections, diabetes, and cancer. My laboratory studies the importance of the tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) in cell proliferation and differentiation. We are interested in how certain PTPs regulate cell growth and differentiation during the development and remodeling of bone. In addition, we are exploring whether these molecules could serve as drug targets for skeletal disorders, such as osteoporosis, in animals and humans.

Just like the episodes before it, episode eight of Free! continues to show us just how hard it is to knock our swimmers down. After losing to Rin in the preliminaries, it's only natural for Haru to be a little hurt; Rin's douche-mode after his victory probably didn't help matters. While Haru's cleaning himself off and sulking, the rest of his team does their best – despite the fact that none of them qualify for finals. That's okay though, they've still got the relay they didn't know they were participating in.
Episode eight's approach to not giving up is more of the "moving on" sort; rather than dwell on the pains of the past and linger on the idea of bringing back ghosts, our characters realize that it is finally time to let go.
For Rei, it's a bit of an awkward affair. He wasn't part of the original group and so he's like a fifth wheel of sorts. It's clear by the way he acts that he knows he can't replace Rin, once he discovers that Rin was a part of their team. In a way, it's a bit heart-wrenching for me, as a viewer, to watch him trying so hard.
Once we found out about the relay, I can honestly say that I didn't expect Haru to actually agree to it. I figured that he'd say no and, just before the relay started, give in – if at all. Seeing Haru finally move past the pain Rin inflicted upon him is a huge step on the road to recovery. The look on Rin's face when he watches Haru step up to take his turn in the relay, though? Priceless. I can't wait to see how Rin develops from here. It's clear he's jealous of Rei, after all.
(On a side note: Tony, one of our bloggers, introduced me to a certain tumblr about texts from gay swimmers. It's amusing, and if you're anything like me, you may find a bit too much of your time snatched out from under your nose.)

LEICESTER, Mass. — A Worcester man in a stolen ice-cream truck led police on a low-speed chase through Worcester, Leicester and Charlton on Wednesday morning before he was apprehended, police said.
The driver, later identified as Francis Baptiste, 30, was caught in Charlton after the drawn-out pursuit and faces multiple motor vehicle charges.
At 9 a.m., a general police broadcast said a 2012 freightliner ice cream delivery truck was reported stolen from Millbury Street in Worcester.
Less than an hour later, the truck was spotted traveling south on Park Avenue near the State Liquor Store, where police said they caught up with the truck.
Officers turned on the cruiser's lights, but Baptiste continued to travel approximately 18 mph in the right lane, police said.
He continued south on Park Avenue, going through a series of red lights into the Webster Square area, police said. At one point, he threw a beer bottle at the cruiser next to the truck, police said.
Several Worcester police cruisers followed the truck onto Stafford Street heading into Leicester.
State Police deployed stop sticks just east of Route 56, but Baptiste swerved and continued on Stafford Street and into Charlton.
Stop sticks used a second time flattened the truck's two front tires, and it came to a stop.
Baptiste tried to get out of the truck but re-entered it as officers approached, police said. He locked the door and refused to come out. Police smashed the driver's side window to get him out of the truck.
Baptiste was arrested and charged with using a motor vehicle without authority, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, failure to stop for a police officer, possessing an open container of alcohol in a motor vehicle, throwing glass on a public way, operating a motor vehicle to endanger, six counts of failure to stop for a red traffic signal and two counts of marked lanes violations, police said.
Baptiste was transported to Worcester Police headquarters and will be arraigned Thursday at Worcester County District Courthouse.
The recovered stolen truck was towed to Arnies Garage in North Oxford. No injuries were reported.

It's a New Year and perhaps you are saying good bye to huge holiday dinners and hello treadmill! Here are some easy tips for getting started from Alex Hutchinson, author of Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?
Cheat Sheet: Getting Started
• It takes three months of hard training to see significantly bigger muscles, and six weeks to boost endurance, but health and performance gains on a cellular level start within a few days.
• Aiming for a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate exercise five times a week, in bouts as short as 10 minutes, will boost your health, but more is better.
• Your body can be "set" to build strength or aerobic fitness during any given workout, but not both at once, so start your workout with the exercises you're focusing on that day.
• A few minutes of short, intense intervals can produce the same effect as a long, slow aerobic workout—but the intervals have to be hard.
• Be cautious doing prolonged hard exercise in temperatures above about 70°F (21°C). It takes about 10 to 14 days to acclimatize to hotter conditions.
• Athletic ability and desire to exercise are influenced by many different genes; recent studies suggest that more than 80 percent of the differences among us are environmental, not genetic.
• You can retain fitness for about two weeks without training before significant losses occur. A couple of short, hard workouts each week can preserve fitness
for longer.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Police say a Winston-Salem woman died Wednesday night after she was struck by a vehicle while attempting to cross an intersection.
According to police, Laverne Charity Watson, 45, was walking across Glenn Avenue at the intersection with 25th Street around 10:30 p.m. when she was hit by a champagne-colored 2001 Mazda Tribute.
Watson died at the scene, police said.
Police say the Mazda drove away after the accident. The suspect vehicle was found at the intersection of 25th Street and Patrick Avenue, but it was unoccupied, police said.
"Whoever it was if they have any conscious they would come forward and say what they did," says a friend who does not want to be identified.
Detectives are investigating "active leads" as of 6 a.m. Thursday, police said.
"Its a sad feeling, she was a lovely lady and very decent. I'm just saying she didn't deserve to be killed and whoever killed her needs to pay the price," said Stan McLauglin, Watson's friend and roommate.
No other information was provided.

Hopefully you've all been applying your ShadowTrading skills and getting in some trading every day. The volatility has been good on various instruments and you have a lot of choices out there (e-mini's, 6J, 6E, CL, NG, etc). Looking at the graphs, the news and the general geo-political vibe out there, I feel it necessary to remind you all to make sure you are in and out of your trades before end of day. Hopefully it's not taking you more than about 10-15 minutes to hit your targets and be done.
Also, depending on your broker, the cash in your account might be being put into money market accounts at night. This didn't used to be a big deal, but now that rulings have come out to reinforce the concept that redemptions could be frozen for "extraordinary events", this is more risk than I feel is acceptable.
I can't fully quantify it yet, but there appears to be one or more major events hanging out just beyond the horizon. Whether that is a US debt default, debt jubilee, war or something else…I'm not certain. But I haven't seen this many BIG news items coming up at the same time. I have my ears open on various lines and will faithfully keep you updated.
Given the potential for some "disruptive event", I think it is good policy to move a portion of profits out regularly from your trading account, and put that towards paying down debt and/or buying what will really help you survive now [in case you're wondering, a new 70 inch LCD TV is not a survival item--just see how well it does when the power's out]. I'm not exactly big on hoarding cash, since fiat currency, like Blanche DuBois, "relies on the kindness of strangers."
Debt all paid? Very good. You can work on broadening your horizons by establishing bases of operation in other countries. Don't forget to help out your fellow man either. Folks are dying for credit. You could be a trusted source to provide refinancing away from the evil, usurious vampire squids out there. Count it as a revolutionary act–and a kind one too.
