High fashion balling.
If the Orlando Magic had simply made it to the second round of the 2011 NBA Playoffs, Gilbert Arenas says he would have worn these $675 Louis Vuitton sneakers. It would have been the most expensive shoe set foot in an NBA game, exceeding the $395 Dolce & Gabbana sneaker Gil wore last December.
Louis Vuitton lists the model Gilbert is holding on their website as the Acapulco Monogram Stars, featuring a canvas upper, velcro ankle strap, and a rubber sole.
Maybe next season, Gil?

Fidelio Hallux Fabia Bunion Relief 33-709 Women's Sandal
Features include:
I couldn't find a pair of comfortable white sandals in a store. I really like to try shoes on before purchasing them. So I took a chance with these and I love them. I got the white which is really ivory, but I could tell that from the photos. i
Fidelio women's bunion relief sandals are the best and most comfortable ever...very stylish and sizing is perfect!!
I loved the comfort of the sandal & the adjustable strap that go across. I will be trying the same sandal but with a back strap next .
These shoes are the greatest! The light beige is a beautiful accent for outfits of many different colors. The styling is great for casual to dress casual. Each of my feet requires a different adjustment of the bands, and this shoe provides excellent accommodation for my situation. I am totally pleased with these lovely, super-comfortable shoes.
I have worn this brand of shoes for a number of years and they are the best. My feet never get tired in them and I own 6 pair. Today I placed an ordered for the tan leather ones. The customer service at Footwear etc is the best. Very curteous. The shipping is quick and my shoes arrived within the expected time.

"I received my shoes today. They are exactly what I was looking for and fit perfect! I will be using them primarily when I'm umpiring softball running the bases during the plays. I have been umpiring for 10 years and these are my best purchase yet! Since I've been wearing MBT's, I have convinced at least a dozen of my co-workers and friends to try them, and now we are all hooked on MBT Shoes! I have a bone spur in my right ankle, but since I've been wearing my MBT's I haven't had any pain from it. My orthopedic surgeon told me that I will probably never have any problems as long as I wear them. I'm a poster child for MBT! I have tons of ideas in the sports world for them. Need a new marketing agent? Thanks for all your help. Your consideration and courteous service has given me even more reason to promote MBT and Footwear Etc."

Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012
Safety has long been a top reason for purchase for auto shoppers, and today's customers benefit from an increasingly wide range of high-tech features like blind-spot warning systems, adaptive cruise control, rear cross-traffic sensors, etc., etc. But even among sport-utility vehicles and crossovers—which already tend to do better in crashes because of their relatively large size—some choices stand out for being particularly protective of their passengers. For example, as of this moment, customers looking for safe SUVs in 2012 will find just 10 that have received both five-star overall safety scores from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Top Safety Pick Status from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Thus, those were the ones that also have garnered a place on Autobytel's own list of the Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012.
There are a few things to keep in mind when looking at our roster of safe sport utility vehicles for 2012, however—like the fact that not all of the current crop of entries have been tested by both organizations. Consider: Premium players like the Audi Q7, Mercedes-Benz GL- and GLK-Class, and Land Rover Range Rover Evoque have not been rated by NHTSA, and probably won't be, because the organization tends to focus on testing higher-volume models. On the other hand, some of the winners here are 2013 models that earned their recognitions for the 2012 selling season, but have not seen significant changes—or been tested again—in the interim.
But now it's on with the show!
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012: Buick Enclave/Chevy Traverse/GMC Acadia
The General's three big crossovers all brothers under the skin and all likewise combine to earn a spot among our Top 10 Safest Sport Utility Vehicles of 2012. All also get some notable style upgrades for 2013, along with an enhanced version of the MyLink entertainment and connectivity system. But the big news on the safety front for the Buick Enclave, Chevy Traverse and GMC Acadia is the debut of an industry-first front-center side airbag that was designed to protect the driver and front-row passenger from impacts to the opposite side of the vehicle.
Further safety enhancers for our first trio of safe SUVs for 2012 include a standard rearview camera system along with available side blind-zone alert and rear cross-traffic alert.
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012: Cadillac SRX
Safe SUVs for 2012 don't get much more striking than the Cadillac SRX. But its big bold grille, along with updated style cues like front LED light pipes, are complemented by an equal attention to safety. In fact, this member of the list of Top 10 Safest SUV for 2012 welcomes two new driver-assistance packages that provide an extra layer of peace of mind with the brand's Safety Alert Seat technology (vibrating the driver's seat to warn of potential safety hazards), Automatic Front and Rear Braking, adaptive cruise control, and more.
The 2013 Cadillac SRX also sets the pace among our safe SUVs of 2012 with an exclusive Auto-Dry Brake system that helps remove excess moisture from the brake rotors in wet conditions, for improved stopping power regardless of the weather.
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012: Ford Explorer
The next-gen Ford Explorer seems to have picked up right where the old-school model left off, becoming one of the most popular full-size crossovers in the country. No doubt helping matters are the kind of features that earned the Blue Oval product a place on the Autobytel roster of safe SUVs for 2012: Like the industry's first inflatable rear safety belts and Curve Control, designed to help the Explorer retain its composure under hard cornering—or anytime a little help is needed to get up around the bend.
The Explorer also provides one of the industry's more robust portfolios of technologically advanced driver-assist measures, offering blind-spot/cross-traffic warnings, adaptive cruise control (with collision-warning and brake-support functionality), a rearview camera system, lane-departure warning, a lane-keeping setup, and, of course, SYNC with MyFord Touch.
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012: Honda CR-V
Also joining the team of top 10 safest sport-utility vehicles of 2012 is the Honda CR-V—bolstered by Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure. It relies on a unique design, as well as plenty of high-strength steel, to help manage crash forces for optimum passenger protection. Then, in addition to typical safety features such as stability control, a rearview camera, dual-stage airbags, and anti-lock brakes, Honda's choice among the safe SUVs of 2012 also delivers touches like a standard expanded-view driver's mirror and a front-end design tailored to reduce potential pedestrian-impact injuries.
All of which helps explain why the Honda CR-V—in addition to being one of the top 10 safest sport utility vehicles of 2012—also just earned a best resale value award from kelley blue book's KBB.com website.
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012: Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
Hyundai's rapid rise to prominence in the U.S. marketplace has been backed by a strong commitment to safe vehicles, as is evidenced by the all-new Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. Cementing its place as one of the Autobytel-approved safe SUVs of 2012, the five-seat crossover delivers a comprehensive Vehicle Stability Management system that integrates standard stability control and the brand's Motor-Driven electric Power Steering (MDPS), as well as a cutting-edge anti-lock brake system with discs at all four corners, electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist. When the Santa Fe Sport is configured with all-wheel drive, torque- and brake-vectoring also are onboard.
Finally, thanks to Hyundai's Blue Link telematics platform—standard on the Santa Fe Sport—customers can rely on features like automatic crash notification, enhanced roadside assistance service and a "panic button" for emergency assistance.
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012: Kia Sportage
Proving big-time safety can still fit into a relatively small package is the Kia Sportage, the tiniest member of the Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012 lineup. Much like its Hyundai-branded relative—the Santa Fe Sport—the Sportage greatly benefits from Vehicle Stability Management technology, while also featuring a plethora of protective measures such as downhill brake control, traction control, electronic stability control, brake assist, hill assist, electronic brake-force distribution, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and a full suite of airbags. Additionally in the cabin are front active headrests and adjustable seatbelt anchors for the first row.
Of course, all occupants will benefit from the Sportage's steel side-impact door beams, located in all four doors, as well as specially reinforced A and B pillars, to help optimally manage crash forces.
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012: Lexus RX
The Lexus RX received a wealth of upgrades for the 2013 model year, both inside and out, and naturally, this included some additional standard safety features: Hill-Start Assist Control, to prevent the RX from rolling backward when stopped on an incline; active front headrests, which can help lessen whiplash injuries in certain scenarios; and Smart Stop Technology, designed to cut engine power if both the gas and brake pedals are pressed at the same time (also in certain driving scenarios).
But it's likely that the Lexus would have ended up on our Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012 roster anyway, since it already provided 10 airbags in a best-in-class airbag system, a blind-spot monitor, rain-sensing wipers, anti-lock brakes, vehicle stability control and a pre-collision system. Thatlatter technology leverages a radar sensor capable of detecting a potential front-crash situation, and can then prepare the vehicle for the collision by retracting the front seatbelts and pre-pressurizing the brake system for increased stopping power.
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012: Toyota Venza
The Toyota Venza may not be everyone's idea of an SUV—or even a crossover—but it certainly has the protective measures needed to claim a spot among our Top 10 Safest Sport Utility Vehicles of 2012. And playing a starring role in the Venza's safety story is Toyota's STAR Safety System. A standard feature of all Toyota products, the system brings together enhanced vehicle stability control, traction control, anti-lock braking, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist and smart-stop technologies to provide award-winning levels of safety protection.
Also in the mix from the safety department: Active front headrests, front seatbelt pretensioners, hill-start assist, blind-spot mirrors, and seven airbags, including one to protect the driver's knees.
And you know what? With essentially the same amount of available cargo room as the Hyundai Santa Fe Sport or Honda CR-V, the Venza actually does the crossover thing just as well as some of our other safe SUVs for 2012.
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012: Volvo XC60
Now, here's an example of the challenges of basing Autobytel's honor roll of Top 10 SafestSUVs of 2012 on third-party testing: The Volvo XC60 garnered a spot on our list—as expected—but its bigger brother, the Volvo XC90, wasn't tested by NHTSA. Thus, even though the latter is an IIHS Top Safety Pick, it doesn't qualify for our roster; and the mid-sized Volvo XC70 hasn't been evaluated by either organization.
As for the XC60, it packs on just about every safety technology on the market today, including all the usual suspects, and then tacks on exclusives like City Safety, designed to help drivers avoid low-speed, urban-type collisions; Pedestrian Detection, which can identify if a pedestrian steps out in front of the XC60 and then help mitigate a potential collision; and industry-first two-stage integrated booster seats with adaptive seatbelts.
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012
Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012: Saab 9-4X
Okay, we did have to stretch the rules a bit to include the final member of our list of safe SUVs for 2012, but the Saab 9-4X was the only other 2012 model-year SUV/crossover to capture a 5-star overall safety rating from NHTSA and achieve Top Safety Pick Status with the IIHS—which, as we all know, wasn't quite enough to prevent a bitter-Swede ending to our list of Top 10 Safest SUVs of 2012.

Dissecting the New Immigration Bill
The Senate begins debates today on a new immigration bill that will provide potential legal status for 12 million illegal immigrants. The bill, which has emerged after a heated bipartisan negotiation, is criticized by those from the right as too akin to amnesty, and by the left as too divisive to families.

Thank you reader Matt, from Burlington, VT for sending me THIS LINK from the LA Times about yerba mate.
A 2003 review of all existing studies on yerba mate, published in the journal Head and Neck, confirmed that people who regularly drink large amounts of the tea -- as much as a liter or more each day -- had significantly increased risk of cancers of the esophagus, lungs, mouth, pharynx and larynx.Yikes. Of course, other environmental and lifestyle factors of the participants in these studies is unknown. (Work past the sensational title of the article, and the researchers quoted say as much.) It could just be a conspiracy begun by big pharma to trash the healing powers of plants, but then I always pick conspiracy if it's an option.

Relationship astrology. The composite chart is the chart of a relationship.
Composite chart aspects are explained and interpreted. The meaning of Sun
conjunct Mercury.
You have come together to share ideas. Communication is rarely
wanting between the two of you, unless this conjunction is
seriously challenged by other planets in the composite chart.
This aspect alone doesn't mean that communication between you is
healthy or strong, but whether or not it is can make or break
your relationship! You are so aware of one another's thoughts
and ideas that you often are able to finish one another's
sentences. Mind you, this might not always be pleasant, as
competing for the mike is also a possibility. One of the most
notable qualities of your relationship is the ease with which
you talk with one another--you are rarely short on something to
say. You are often able to talk about your relationship in a
rational and reasonable manner, which can be a real plus for any
type of coupling.
Sample from our
Couples Report:
In some ways, your relationship may not be so much an emotional
relationship as it is an intellectual one. Yours is perhaps a
relationship where you can exchange thoughts and ideas, study,
research, spend hours in conversation and enjoy mental
stimulation rather than physical. For you, sex takes place
mentally as well as physically. You are able to be more detached
and logical in your relationship than many couples.
Your conversations will be excellent and since you have so much
in common, you probably think the same ways about life in
general. You will have no trouble understanding what the other
person is talking about. There are very meaningful discussions
indicated here and should you be involved in creative or
business ventures together, then this aspect is an added boost
for the conception of new ideas.
You can feel very close to each other with this aspect, without
feeling vulnerable, and doing your "own thing" will be a
prerequisite for the two of you. Trips and travel, whether local
or long distance, are also part of this aspect. Sitting still

I've been a lurker, just now posting for the first time. :)
To sum up a very long, complex story (and yes, this is the SHORT version):
My mom & dad divorced almost ten years ago. Dad remarried nearly immediately (conveniently to the woman he was "just friends" with from work) but mom worked on getting through school, finding a good job with benefits, and seeing all three of her girls grow up and move out of the house, whether getting married or going to college.
After the youngest sibling moved out, my mom started to go a little crazy. First, she did a lot of self-sabotage for attention from friends and family - biggest example was her "deciding" to become "anorexic" (something she was never actually diagnosed with despite seeing a doctor) and just not eating as a way to control her diabetes so she wouldn't need medication. She then decided to go off her depression meds since she was "miraculously cured" of her diabetes. That was when all hell broke loose.
Mom decided she was very lonely, and signed up on a Christian dating web site. She participated there for quite some time, until an incident (a long story in and of itself) caused her to not want to spend time there any more. But then suddenly, mom texted me to tell me she'd met someone on the site, and was meeting him in person on a regular basis. He lived a few hours away, but they alternated weekends for visits.
After just a few short months, mom told me she was going to get married to this guy. I was wary, because they'd known each other for such a short period of time, and I worry that a Christian dating site would be a haven for predators of all sorts. He -seems- okay, and mom insists she's "old" (just turned 51) so she doesn't want to take her time with relationships, so she up and married him. (Met in March, married in September.)
Thus ends the back story.
The current:
My baby girl was born just over a month ago. Mom was able to get time off of work to come visit for the holiday, so of course she brought her new husband. I figured I'd give him a chance, he might not be that bad of a guy, and truthfully, he doesn't seem to be.
But after expressing concern to my mom about this guy, and how I was uncomfortable with her forcing him into our family so quickly, she continues to do things that are starting to frustrate me.
A good example is this: when my grandfather (mom's father) remarried after my grandma passed away, my mom was a little mad at my grandpa. Grandpa's new wife made sure to tread lightly, and didn't press family members to call her "grandma" because she didn't want to force herself on anyone. She was tactful and graceful, and all family members came to really love her.
And yet, my mom insists on calling her husband my daughter's "grandpa" even though I've just met the man for the first time yesterday. He calls my nephews his "grandsons" and brags on them like any other grandfather would.
While I know this is mostly harmless, I still feel uncomfortable. Our extended family used to be pretty close-knit, with patriarchs and matriarchs taking all the younger family members under their wings, and yet this man is a stranger and assuming the role without even knowing all of the family members. It upsets me that, despite expressing this discomfort, my mom still insists on pressing the matter.
She also decided to call my baby girl by her middle name, because her new husband's mother decided her middle name was prettier than her first name. She asked "What do you call her?" And after we told her, she insisted on still calling her by her middle name.
I'm not sure what to do about my mother. I mean, I'm going to be patient and tolerate her for the rest of her visit - she's only here until Saturday, and they live 1500 miles away, so I don't get to see her very often... which is also a bit of a blessing. :P
How would you ladies suggest I approach my mom to tell her to knock off the stuff that makes me uncomfortable? I know I have to talk with her, but I'm not sure how to let her know that I don't want to shoot down her wants, but I also don't want her to force things on me and my little family. :\

Occupy protestors are laying siege to Olympia, demanding that lawmakers close the state's $2 billion budget deficit by taxing the state's richest residents. An income tax is out of the question for the special legislative session, but a pair of policy experts say there are other ways to make the 1 percent to pay their fair share.
Image Source
The initiative failed miserably, losing 64 to 35 percent during the year of the tax abhorrent Tea Party. Presumably, if I-1098 were reintroduced this year it would pass by a solid 99-1 majority, but in the meantime its rejection virtually guarantees that lawmakers will not be implementing a state income tax anytime soon. Why would they choose to enact something that nearly two-thirds of their constituents oppose?
The popular political solution to the budget debacle is a temporary half-cent increase on sales tax. This, of course, spreads the burden equally among the poor, middle-class, and wealthy. Two experts say there are more progressive ways for the state to make ends meet.
Both Marilyn Watkins, policy director for the Economic Opportunity Institute, and Eric de Place, a senior researcher at the Sightline Institute, recommend closing as many of the 567 tax loopholes currently afforded by the state to various corporations and industries.
Watkins is particularly opposed to tax breaks for the farm industry. While farmers are hardly the stereotypical Wall Street fat cats, Watkins says the largest beneficiary is industrial agribusiness, not mom-and-pop homesteads.
"We almost completely exempt farms from taxation in our state," Watkins says. "That made sense back in '30s when it was family farmers slammed by the depression and in financial crisis, but there's not a good reason in this day and age to exempt big agribusiness from taxation."
According to de Place, several farm tax loopholes border on absurd. They include caveats for the propane used to heat vast chicken coops, and fine print that favors bull semen traders, he says.
"You name it there's an exemption," de Place says. "They live in this weird tax-free environment, Maybe that makes sense from public policy standpoint, I don't know, but do we really need tax-free bull semen? Is that hugely important?"
When it comes to specifically targeting top-end of the tax bracket, Watkins proposes increasing taxes on luxury vehicles like yachts and private aircraft, and upping the state's estate tax.
"The estate tax is paid only by a handful of estates of wealthiest people that die every year," she explains. "The federal estate tax went down over the last year, if we increased our estate tax it wouldn't be more tax, so much as recouping what the federal government has not been collecting."
Speaking of vehicles, the loophole that is most galling for de Place is the one that gives an exemption to people who trade-in used automobiles to a dealership. While many 99 percenters have probably traded-in a car at some point in their lives, those reaping the most spoils are from the upper crust.
"If you drive only the latest BMW and are trading them in every couple years thats a big beneift," de Place explains. "It might have modest benefit for the middle class but definitely not for low income people. And that's worth several hundred million dollars, about 20 percent of current budget shortfall."
Watkins recently outlined a way for the state to raise "$1 billion in progressive revenue," and de Place compiled a Twitter feed of tax loopholes that need closing. But they both acknowledge that state lawmakers will have to show some spine in order to follow through on their suggestions.
"The reason we have 567 tax loopholes is because special interests are really good at opening up and maintaining them," de Place says. "It tips the scales in their favor. There's a car dealership in every legislative district in the state, and they'll fight to keep things the way they are. And I'm sure the bull semen lobby would come out in favor of that loophole too if they proposed changing it."

From looking at the pictures in the touring journals, it appears that about 50% of people use handlebar bags. That appeals to me because at least the outer pockets on a handlebar bag are accessible by riding and they can hold a bit of gear.
Question: I have a bike with Ultegra brake level/shifters and the derailleur cables come out of the hoods at a 90 deg angle towards the interior of the handlebars. Does this arrangement of cables preclude the use of a handlebar bag?

I Married a Witch is a 1942 fantasy romantic comedy film, directed by René Clair, and starring Veronica Lake as a witch whose plan for revenge goes comically awry, with Fredric March as her foil. The film also features Robert Benchley, Susan Hayward and Cecil Kellaway. The screenplay by Robert Pirosh and Marc Connelly and uncredited other writers, including Dalton Trumbo, is based on the novel The Passionate Witch by Thorne Smith, who died before he could finish it; it was completed by Norman H. Matson and published in 1941.

Fish shop rules
Hey I have 2 tanks both around 40 gallons. One of them has gold fish and the other is tropical and has a huge mixture of fish. Im abit anoyed about fish store rules the one were you have to be over 18 to buy Because Im 13. I understand were there coming from making that rule But you would have thought After I shopped there for over 5 months with about 1 visit a week They would let me. AND They wouldnt even let me buy the ph mixture :?: . Just wanted to share that with you all comments welcome
What store were you shopping? A local store or something like Petsmart or Petco?
That stinks!!! :cry:
It's actually a good rule, meant to protect the animals AND the store (but of course!)...
...most children who get a pet inevitably loose interest in it and the parent ends up looking after an animal they don't want...
...OR, sadly, the animal is totally neglected and dies...
And should the parent return the animal to the store, it just means the animal has to go through the unnecessary stress of being relocated several times in a short period of time...
Without parental approval, a child shouldn't be allowed to purchase an animal...
Now...having said all that...it sucks if you're one of the few responsible kids out there who actually know what they're doing...in that case see if the store will accept a 'note' from your parents giving you permission to shop without them having to be there...
So, should we put an minority age limit on riding a bicycle? If all lfs's had a rule like that I probably wouldn't be in this hobby, let alone be in it for as long as I have. If an lfs had done that to me, who knows what mischief I would have gotten into. I think that it is a great thing that young people want to get into the hobby. They could be spending their money on something that isn't so cool. Who knows, that young person at the lfs may become the next Jaques Cousteau, Paul Loiselle, or Dr. Burgess. That rule SUCKS.
It may suck, but I back it.
When I was younger, I had so many friends buy fish because they thought it was cool. Well, they kept them in basic goldfish bowls and would die fast. It was cruel to the fish.
It is the responsibility of the lfs to ensure the quality of life of a fish, I must agree.(here's a good question, How many fish have you got in your tank(s) that you purchased a year ago?) But, the lfs would be smart if they would get to know their clientelle. If they would take the time to give how-to clinics and reward those that attend with a free 10g set up, they would reap future rewards and pick up a customer for life. Who knows, maybe that 10-12 year old boy or girl that was at the clinic might get a 29g setup for Christmas.
I commend anyone of any age who does their homework and learns the proper way to care for a living thing before bringing it home.
Go to Petsmart or some other "supermarket" type petstore and just stand there in the fish department and listen to the ignorant stuff the adults say (employees too!). I don't know about you, but sometimes I have to bite my tounge to keep from telling them that they have no business being there. I realize that it's not their fault that they just don't know, but it kinda makes me want to slap them upside the head with a book about basic aquarium care.... and don't even get me started on those employees... :roll:
the signs on petsmart too, all so very wrong, like how red belly pacus can fit in 30 gallon aquarium and how bala sharks can fit in 10. I think if they say these pacus need 300 gallons each they will make more money since they can then try to sell a 300 gallon aquarium?? Maybe there not smart or im just not a business man...
I really thing these stores should have a form you need to fill out before you buy fish. Its the best way to keep bad owners with there fish. Also for young people, its the adults that are ignorant, if they have a child with a goldfish bowl that dies every 48 hours, i think they should do something about it.....

Issue 205 Toy Truck Pattern Correction
Correction to Construction-Grade Hauler in issue 205
Issue 205 Toy Truck Pattern Correction
The patterns for the Construction-Grade Hauler in issue 205 (July 2011) were printed 2% too large in the WOOD Patterns� insert. To correctly size the patterns, photocopy them at 98% of their original size. Or you can download a PDF file below with correctly sized patterns that you can then print out. Because there are so many variables with individual computers that can affect the size of the printout, we recommend measuring the patterns after you print them to verify they match the indicated dimensions before you begin work.
I thought I did something wrong too, I made 2 trucks but I modified the parts to fit right. They look ok but I was diapointed when i found out the patterns were oversize. I would have had less trouble12/7/2011 11:58:56 AM Report Abuse

The setting of the old agricultural college at Seals Hale in Devon was beautiful and spacious. There were over 350 people; half from the UK but half representing Hub projects in every corner of the globe: North and South America, Asia, Scandinavia, Europe, Latvia, New Zealand, Australia.
|I realised how well established we are in Lewes. Having our main activities and enterprises working independently as entireties - such as CIC s in their own right - brings more strength, expertise and flexibility. It validated, for me, the role of the Steering group as the connector of these activities; not needing to do the projects themselves. We are also able to strengthen TTL's connection by joining with others working towards similar goals in the community. Trying to organise diverse activities centrally seemed to create tensions and funding concerns in other Transition Towns, as well as huge pressure on the steering group doing the organising.
I came away feeling grateful to be able to play a small part in the Lewes group and amazed to be part of a now worldwide Transition. To be surrounded by an international connection of people all working towards a more positive, creative future is an inspiration. Sue Fleming
The Lewes Neighbourhood Plan took a major step forward with the running of a three-day design forum. This event was attended by representatives of literally dozens of influential groups and societies from across Lewes. Read more on the Sussex Express website...
|Throughout September you can make your ideas for Lewes' future know by completing the Lewes Neighbourhood Plan on-line questionnaire www.lewes4all.uk. This will be a really important time to get input & feedback from across our community. In October there will be two big public consultation events - 8 & 9 October and 19 & 20 November, so look out for details at www.lewes4all.uk. We will start with a draft plan & policies for public review in October and in November start to flesh out the policies that will influence all development in the town.
Work by the Steering Group
The recent wave of announcements of cuts to renewable energy support have been justified on the basis of cutting costs. The Office of Budget Responsibility calculated the cost of supporting low carbon power by 2020/21 has risen from a budget of £7.6 billion to £9.1 billion and Policy Exchange and Green Alliance have joined the debate.
So what are the facts about our spend on renewables, impact on energy bills and how this compares with other sources of energy?
NB Nuclear waste is £79 per household, per year.
Dirk Campbell July 2015
I have just been reading one of those rare books whose central concept seems so important and so universally applicable that one wonders why no-one thought of it before. It is a very simple observation and, like gravity and evolution, very obvious in retrospect; one realises that it has actually been around for ever but not previously identified.
The observation in question is that all living systems possess a capacity, for which there is no word in the English language, for self-strengthening in response to stress or impact. This capacity goes beyond resilience, which is merely the ability of a system to retain its integrity. The book is by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of Black Swan (nothing to do with the ballet movie but a book about the profound effects of the unexpected) and because there is no term for its central concept he has been forced to coin one: 'antifragility'. (The title of the book is 'Antifragile'.) It's not a good word, because it references its opposite; it's like calling strong 'anti-weak', or weak 'anti-strong'. But until someone comes up with a better word it will have to do. Read more...
The Transition Town Lewes Health group had a brilliant inaugural meeting on May 30th and several creative possibilities are sprouting shoots. The foundational idea is the Local Health Service (LHS) as an umbrella for a collaboration that could augment our beautiful but flagging NHS.
The meeting agreed that we should continue to meet as a TTL Local Health Initiative group.
Anyone interested in joining in the discussion and receiving more news and information should contact email@example.com or email@example.com and request to join the google group email forum.
Prof David Peters started the meeting by saying that the health of each person depends on relationships and on community, yet the main treatment in the NHS is still the biomedical model, which has grown Big Pharma to $1 trillion p.a. industry. Ten years ago Derek Wannless reported under 'Fully engaged scenario' saying that the only way to make the NHS sustainable is to get individuals and communities to take responsibility for their own health. This has not yet happened, and GPs (who should have the best jobs in the world) are burning out and leaving in droves. If madness, according to Einstein, is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result, then if we are to flourish together we will have to find radically different ways of doing health. David is chair of integrated health at University of Westminster, and co founder of the British Holistic Medical Association (BHMA) which publishes the Journal of Holistic Healthcare (JHH). A pdf power point will be available shortly.
We moved into small groups with discussions around various topics:
- Nature connection, food and agriculture
- Healing the healers
- Community & individual empowerment & engagement
- Technology and health
- Creative arts
Discussed specifically were NatureGain and care farms, end of life care in the community, mindfulness, dance & voice, medical student training, permaculture, and much else besides! The small groups reported back their findings and have written up some notes which will follow shortly.
Please do get in touch if you are concerned about 'peak medicine'; thinking that the current health care model is unsustainable in its present form and that there is a place for local, positive changes that we can make if we come together in an inspired and creative way.

Climates is a new social network to make action on climate change happen. Bringing people together to take practical action, the founders think Climates has a natural affinity with the Transition movement. Before they launch later this year they've asked TTL members to help them make the site as useful as possible. Please watch their video below then complete this short survey...
Climates' vision is to create a global climate change community, motivated, active and inspired by each other to tackle the causes and adapt to the impacts of climate change.
The emphasis is on people taking practical action and helping their 'mates', sharing ideas, skills and expertise, celebrating achievements. By linking cause and effect, and harnessing the enthusiasm, knowledge, passion and commitment of people all across the world to help each other do more, Climates can amplify all the great work already being done by TTs and others and speed the pace of change.
An election reflection by Dirk Campbell
|It wasn't much of a shock. The Conservatives now have a narrow majority in the House of Commons, as opposed to being the majority party in a government coalition with the Lib Dems. So not really much change there...
...More shockingly for us in Lewes, Norman Baker is out and a Conservative is representing Lewes District for the first time in 18 years. He had it coming though. Lewes consituents in general like him, but he blew his credibility by voting with the Conservatives on such policies as increased tuition fees and woodland sell-offs, and famously opposed blocking the importation of Canadian tar sands oil into Europe. Eventually, after some persuading, he resigned from the government but not in time to restore his popularity in Lewes District. More...

Launched in 2008 the Lewes Pound supports local independent businesses, encourages local producers and attracts visitors to Lewes from all over the world. Its striking series of paper notes and their iconic designs have contributed greatly to Lewes's sense of identity and community. Over 100 businesses accept Lewes Pounds and over LP 1,000 are spent every month with local traders. However, most of our purchases are now made electronically - using internet banking, smart cards and even mobile phones.
Fiona Kay from award winning Cheese Please on Lewes High Street commented 'We have customers who use Lewes Pounds regularly. An electronic Lewes Pound sounds a great idea and worth exploring."
To take this idea forward the Lewes Pound is seeking a paid part-time researcher for a short project to look at the merits of introducing an electronic version of the Lewes Pound. Supported by South Downs National Park and East Sussex Credit Union the project will look at the needs of Lewes and assess the benefits to the local community, local economy and local environment. Electronic currencies are working in Bristol and Brixton but how could they work in Lewes?
If you would like to apply and are interested in research, new technology and in local issues please contact The Lewes Pound at firstname.lastname@example.com. The deadline for applications is Tuesday 19th May 2015.
An open meeting is scheduled to discuss this study. All are welcome at the Rights of Man pub at 7.30pm on Tuesday 19th May.
The Lewes Pound is grateful for the support of Bill's, Cheese Please, Frank Richards & Sons, Harveys, Just Trade Food Co-op, Knill James, Laportes, 50 Sheep, Lewes Town Council, South Downs National Park, Pelham House and Transition Town Lewes.
A house-owner in Lewes has become one of the first in this area to use state-of-the-art lithium battery technology to store energy from solar PV panels. Jill Goulder, owner of an Eco House featured annually in the Lewes Eco Open Houses weekend, has installed a lithium battery storage system linked to her solar PV panels. These recharge during sunlight hours and provide power in the evenings – very useful for households who use most of their electricity outside sunlight hours. The system switches seamlessly between battery and mains supply as needed; a good system will cover a household's normal needs, though of course major appliances such as washing-machines and vacuum cleaners drain the batteries rapidly and will need mains top-up.

Ann Link is currently working on KIIGS; campaigning to keep most fossil fuels in the ground and for a global cap on carbon emissions, and When I'm 84; planning a festival to celebrate our progress towards a liveable, flourishing Lewes in 2030.
With Transition in mind...
Was there a specific 'light bulb' moment for you?
When I first heard about Peak Oil and making a plan to use far less of it, in 2005. I just thought: "this could be the future - it's obvious to begin to prepare for it. Now I think climate change is the crucial reason.
What lifestyle choices have you made that might inspire other people?
I think I am a bit too obsessive to actually inspire people - I try to do everything I can to support low carbon and local, especially food.. When we refurbished our house though, I realised it was as important for it to be beautiful as to be low carbon - that should just go without saying. Parts of it are lovely, although we are chronically untidy and I wish I was better at colours and layout.
What are your concerns for the future?
That we might have another five years of austerity, with social mayhem and no capacity to work towards zero carbon. We need to start now. It's possible to get to zero carbon by 2030 and have a pleasant lifestyle.
What changes would you like to see in Lewes?
Frequent electric buses, and fewer cars and big delivery vehicles - sometimes I think "surely that is too BIG - madness to come through Lewes!" Cycleways everywhere, partly enabled by less parking in centre. It would be nicer to walk and cycle about, and healthier.
Do you have a guilty secret?
I enjoy driving, in favourable conditions - it's an occasional treat, but not in Lewes.
Development by Lewes people for Lewes people
Lewes Phoenix Rising is a development company set up by local people to ensure that imminent redevelopment of the North Street/Phoenix area of Lewes, East Sussex meets the real needs of the town.
There's an interesting article on nature and wellbeing on the RPPB website:
Creating more space for nature and encouraging human connection with nature is a major societal challenge requiring change in land-use, health care provision, planning, education and economics. We need a step change in thinking and approach. A Nature and Wellbeing Act could be just the catalyst we need. More...
Brighton Permaculture Trust's Fruit Factory is all about local food
Here's their message: 'One week ago we launched a crowdfunding campaign to complete our straw bale Fruit Factory. You can watch our short video about it here...
One of the Brighton Permaculture Trust's key projects for the last six years has been our pop-up scrumping project – turning unwanted and wasted fruit into delicious produce.
Now, we want to scale-up the scrump. We need to raise £12K in 30 days for the completion of our straw bale 'Fruit Factory'. Located in an old tractor shed in Stanmer Park the straw-bale renovation will be used for the processing of local and seasonal fruits into jams, chutneys, and juices. The Fruit Factory could process up to 40 tons of fruit a year – the equivalent of 250,000 apples!' More...
It will be 2030. My about-to-be grandson will be a large hungry teenager and our world will have changed hugely. Zero Carbon Britain 2030 (Centre for Alternative Technology) calculates that we can reach zero carbon emissions using current technology, and still have a good standard of living. Lewes has already made a start with solar panels on Harveys and elsewhere, and there is much more in the pipeline locally. ZCB also addresses food and agriculture and shows that a healthy diet is lower in carbon emissions.
|I propose we plan towards this date and start with a festival celebrating our progress towards a liveable, flourishing Lewes in 2030, covering all aspects of life from zero carbon to community care, health, education and fair employment. The Lewes 2030 project will bring in different sections of the community planning for its welfare and ask: how will we achieve our desires and needs by 2030?
My generation will need to be part of a supportive community - how will health and caring be managed in the Lewes area? How can we increase wellbeing, eliminate poverty and make sure that people doing essential work can live nearby? What will Lewes produce and sell?
Even if the world reduces carbon emissions drastically, climate change will still have got worse, probably with more droughts, more winter rain and more storms and flooding - what preparation do we need to make?
Lewes 2030 will start this autumn and become an annual event, showcasing viable future plans and preparations, in which any group can get involved. Please get in touch if you would like to take part.

Just to recap my story...
in a nutshell: found out when I was 17 that my septum (that I had no idea that I had!) was actually curved and covering up my second cervix. Surgery to remove it cured all the problems I was having (breakthrough bleeding from that uterus, infections, etc)Ā My first pap from thatĀcervix was abnormal, but the doc saidĀhe anticipated that sinceĀit had been weak and so infected.Ā6 months later it was normal, and I've had normal paps every time since then.
Now I'm 24 and pregnant.. 12 weeks. I was POSITIVE it was in my right uterus (the bigger, healthy one) because all my ovulation pain was very distinctly to my right. Well, turns out the baby is in the left! The smaller one with the "bad" cervix! I'm freaking out. My doc has watched my first trimester closely and keeps reassuring me that everything looks great, the cervix looks fine, and that it doesn't look overly small to him.
I want to take his word for it and relax, but remembering the nightmare I went through with that uterus/cervix just freaks me out! I don't really know what I want out of this post, maybe just a vent to some people who might actually understand?? Haha.
Have any of you ever been pregnant in your smaller uterus? Did they watch that cervix even MORE closely?? And I bet I've asked this before, but since I'm coming up to my 2nd trimester I'd like to make sure... How often did they measure your cervix once you hit 14 weeks? Every 2 weeks?

infantry hater D:<
I just outright loves useing infantry. I think it all began with RA2. The G.I. was just awesome and well, with cloning vats the soviets could pump out 4 conscripts per GI! The golden age of infantry was RA2 (and somewhat RA3), Age of Empires (all of them) and Company of Heroes.
Don't mention World in Conflict, the cheapest TA brutaly raped camping infantry, you had to constantly be on your run, makeing you extremly vulnerable to everything.
Im more of a few strong infantry units. Like Dawn Of War 2
I like infantry anywhere,in games,im usually sending hordes of infantry to meet the enemy.
Yay i love the infantry and dont like using tanks much in games so this is my group anyone agree with me??
meh you need both, like in cnc if you have all tanks troops pawn, if you have all troops apcs pawn, if you have a mix of troops and tanks you pawn.
Infantry is needed in securing territory, fighting in difficult terrain where vechicles have problems in moving, and they are generally (always have been) the bulk of the army.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The hospital in Liberia where three American aid workers got sick with Ebola has been overwhelmed by a surge in patients and doesn't have enough hazard suits and other supplies to keep doctors and nurses safe, a missionary couple told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The latest infection -- of Rick Sacra, a doctor who wasn't even working in the hospital's Ebola unit -- shows just how critical protective gear is to containing the deadly epidemic, and how charities alone can't handle the response, they said.
Nancy Writebol and her husband, David, called for reinforcements during the AP interview, which followed her first news conference since recovering from Ebola disease. They work for North Carolina-based SIM, the charity that supports the ELWA hospital in Monrovia, Liberia.
About 250 staffers at the hospital use thousands of disposable protective suits each week, but that's not enough to fully protect the doctors and nurses who must screen people entering the emergency room or treat patients outside the 50-bed Ebola isolation unit, they said.
"We don't have enough personal protective safety equipment to adequately be able to safely diagnose if a patient has Ebola. So they are putting themselves at risk," David Writebol said.
Sacra, 51, a doctor from suburban Boston who spent 15 years working at the hospital, felt compelled to return despite these challenges. As soon as he heard that Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol were sick, Sacra called and said "I'm ready to go," SIM President Bruce Johnson said.
Sacra's job was to deliver babies and care for patients who were not infected with Ebola. He helped write the protocols for handling Ebola, his brother Doug said, and he followed all the protections, said Will Elthick, the group's operations director in Liberia.
But Sacra got infected nonetheless by the virus that has killed more than 1,900 people and sickened 3,500 in five West African nations.
The disease is spreading faster than the response for lack of protective gear and caregivers, said Tom Kenyon of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At least $600 million is urgently needed to provide these tools and extra hazard pay so that more doctors and nurses are willing to risk their lives, the World Health Organization said Wednesday.
Health care workers at other West African hospitals have gone on strike demanding more protections, the Writebols said.
"They see colleagues who have fallen. They don't want that to happen to them. But they are saying, 'I can't go to work safely until there is personal protective equipment available -- the right gear, the right procedures in place. And then, if they don't go to work, are they going to get paid?" David Writebol said.
The Writebols left Charlotte for Africa several years ago; David helped with the hospital's technology while Nancy helped dress and disinfect people entering and leaving the Ebola unit at ELWA, which stands for Eternal Love Winning Africa.
Liberians were already struggling to survive when they got there, but with Ebola it's chaos — the number of patients is surging, finding food and supplies is more costly, schools are closed and people with common injuries or even mothers in childbirth can't get care.
Ebola has "overwhelmed the supply chain," David Writebol said. "They can't get equipment in because there aren't any regular flights coming in. Same thing with aid workers from the international community. There are only a limited number of seats available to come into Liberia. ... That's one of the biggest problems -- getting medicine, protective gear and supplies for health care workers who are there."
Nancy Writebol said people who showed up at the emergency room with symptoms were ushered into triage. But health workers were sometimes exposed as they screened patients who may not have known or advertised that they were carrying the virus.
And sometimes, the sick would leave before finding out if they had Ebola. "Those are the people you really worry about going back into the community, because if they are sick with Ebola, it will ultimately spread," she said.
Sacra immediately got tested for Ebola after coming down with a temperature, and like his colleagues, went into isolation to avoid spreading the virus, his brother Doug Sacra told the AP.
Some other doctors haven't been so rigorous.
The WHO announced today that a doctor in southern Nigeria was exposed by a man who evaded surveillance efforts, and then in turn exposed dozens of others by continuing to treat patients after he became ill. Before he died, his family and church members laid their hands on his body in a healing ritual.
Now his widow and sister are sick and about 60 others in the city of Port Harcourt are under surveillance, the agency said.
Sacra, who left his family at home for this latest trip to Africa, was in good spirits Wednesday and able to send emails, Elthick said. That could mean he's physically well enough to be evacuated.
His wife, Debbie, said in a statement that she's focusing on her husband, but she said "Rick would want me to urge you to remember that there are many people in Liberia who are suffering in this epidemic and others who are not receiving standard health care because clinics and hospitals have been forced to close.
"West Africa is on the verge of a humanitarian crisis, and the world needs to respond compassionately and generously," she said.
It's not clear where Sacra would be treated in the U.S. Experts say any fully-equipped hospital that follows safety protocols could prevent an American outbreak while caring for an Ebola patient. But there are four high-level isolation units designed especially to handle dreaded infectious diseases.
The largest is at the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, which was told to prepare to receive a patient, but they were told the same thing before Brantly and Writebol were evacuated instead to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta, medical center spokesman Taylor Wilson said Wednesday.
The other two units are National Institutes of Health facilities in Maryland and Montana.
Meanwhile, health care workers in Africa are dealing with the impossible every day.
"To watch so many people suffer and die was horrendous. It was horrible some days," Nancy Writebol said.
"But, to be able to encourage their families and to come alongside families that are grieving, there's hope in that. And, to be able to see a survivor? I mean, oh my goodness. To watch that little boy walk out as a survivor and then to see another child who survived and then to hear -- even today -- that 12 walked out, that's what it's about."
Associated Press Writers Mike Stobbe in New York, Denise Lavoie in Boston and Krista Larson in Dakar, Senegal, contributed to this report.

Under the Radar DVD of the Week: 'Dance Moms: Season 1'
This week, the oddest DVD to appear on release lists is:
"Dance Moms: Season 1"
Every queasy, embarrassing stereotype ascribed to desperate, pushy, backbiting "stage mothers" – not to mention tough-talking talent coaches – comes into play in the snarky but undoubtedly watchable reality TV series "Dance Moms," whose 2011 debut season is due out on DVD Tuesday.
This Lifetime cable series is set in the hothouse environs of Pittsburgh's famous (or notorious?) Abby Lee Dance Company, where a gaggle of gangly wannabe child dancers and their grasping moms train under the steely gaze of coach-choreographer Abby Lee Miller.
Much of the show's focus falls on the demanding Miller, a diva who is many pounds past her prime dancing weight, as she pushes, berates, bullies and whips her waif-like young charges into shape. Miller's stern tactics and her counseling of young dancers on body image issues and the need to appear sexy cranks up the show's controversy factor by several notches.
And often competing for camera time with the coach and the dancers are a shrill cadre of preening mothers, who gossip viciously among themselves, second-guess Miller, cajole their would-be starlet daughters and generally make the spoiled "Housewives of (pick a city)" seem downright genteel.
It all makes for a kind of train-wreck TV experience – uncomfortable to watch, but you can't look away. That said, there are some potentially talented young dancers who tiptoe through Season 1. Some might even manage to carve out real careers in the dance world – if only their spotlight-hogging coach and grasping mothers will get out of the way.
"Dance Moms: Season 1" is not rated and runs 546 minutes on four discs. It's being released by A&E Home Video.
