While children giggled and splashed
as they practiced plunging underwater and floating on their backs, a few
children stood off to the side looking apprehensive. It was June 17 – the first
day of ZAC Camp – and children enrolled with Child, Youth and School Services were
just getting their feet wet in the weeklong course on water safety at Custer
Hill Pool.
Jayden Burris, 6, was one
of those children by the side of the pool that first day.
"He refused to get in the
water," said Jayden's mother, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Lakisha Singleton, 2nd Armored
Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division. "He is a little shy around water,
and this was his first time learning what water safety is."
It took some coaxing, but within
days, Jayden's confidence grew, and he finally took the plunge.
He said that was his
favorite part of the week – jumping in the pool.
"He learned how to float.
He came home and taught mom all about the ABCDs because mom didn't know. He
explained each one to me, and he explained how to float on your back,"
Singleton said, adding had it not been for the ZAC Foundation, she would not
have known to teach her son some of those water safety lessons.
ZAC Camp was named in honor
of 6-year-old Zachary Archer Cohn, who drowned as a result of being entrapped by
the suction of a swimming pool drain.
Zach's parents, Karen and
Brian Cohn, created the ZAC Foundation to educate children about water safety
in hopes of saving other lives. ZAC Camp is part of a national initiative by
The ZAC Foundation and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America to bring lifesaving
water-safety skills to thousands of children, 5 to 9 years, across the country.
The curriculum includes
swimming lessons, safety classes and the ABC and Ds of water safety based on a
children's book by Zachary's parents called, "The Polar Bear Who Couldn't,
Wouldn't Swim."
Jayden recited the ABC and
Ds of swimming.
"A is for adults. B is for
barriers. C is for classes. And D is for drains," he said, listing off the key
Singleton said it gave her peace
of mind to know her son had learned about water safety during the camp.
Retired Sgt. 1st Class
Antoinette Foster, whose granddaughter, Janiyah George, 7, also attended the
camp, agreed.
Janiyah was a little
fearful at first, but by the end of the week, she had gained a lot of confidence,
Foster said.
"She was excited," she
said. "We drove past Milford Lake, and now she thinks she's going to swim in
that water."
At the end of the week, the
children participated in a graduation ceremony and received ZAC Camp medals
from Garrison Commander Col. Andrew Cole and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Travis
Ericson, operations company, Division Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion,
1st Inf. Div.
"Over the course of this week,
your children have learned much about water safety. I applaud you for allowing them
to do that, but I ask you not to let it end there," Ericson said. "Learn what
they have been taught this past week and reinforce the importance of those
lessons to them."
While several children said
they had fun at camp, it wasn't always easy.
"These kids worked hard this
week on water safety," said Rosalind Wesley, administrator, CYSS. "This was a successful
week because of the parents – because of the children right here."

How to Make Your Skin Lighter At Home
Want to know how to make your skin lighter fast in the comfort of your home? Let's look at how you can not only get lighter skin fast, but also without any unnecessary risk.
Whatever your reasons are for wanting to lighten your skin tone, there's no doubt that a fair complexion is increasingly desirable these days. For many though, wanting to get rid of blemishes or liver spots are the driving force. Regardless of your reasons, we'll show you how to make your skin lighter at home.
Great, well, as you'd like to know how to get lighter skin fast, let's proceed by having a look at the options you have.
1. Home remedies
While home remedies are by far your cheapest option, I've found this to be such a hit and miss affair that it often leads to more frustration than results. For example, some popular home remedies include the use of lemon juice. Lemon juice can be beneficial for the skin, but it is not suitable to all skin types and may cause itching or burning on sensitive skin. Since results aren't instant, you can easily spend months of trial and error trying to find home remedies for lighter skin that actually work.
Since the aim of this article is to show you how to get lighter skin fast and fairly predictably, we won't dwell on this any further.
2. How To Make Your Skin Lighter with Skin Lightening Creams
Specially formulated creams with active skin whitening ingredients remain the most predictable and reliable way to make your skin lighter.
Take care to avoid creams containing harsh chemicals like Hydroquinone though. Safe and natural skin lightening creams have come a long way over the past decade, and there are now highly effective ones available.
Safe and effective ingredients
Personally, we've had good results with two creams. The first one contains the ancient ayurvedic herb called nutgrass root as the main active ingredient. Nutgrass root is not only a soothing anti-irritant, but also inhibits the production of the skin pigment melanin by up to 40%. This cream is very soothing and well suited to slowly lightening overall skin tone over time. Read a full review here: Xtend-Life Whitening Day Cream
The second option you can try is Meladerm, which is great for all kinds of skin lightening, from spot treatment of hyperpigmentation to overall lightening. It is the most effective way to make your skin lighter at home that we've ever tested. You can read our full Meladerm review for more info.
Don't expect overnight results though. Making your skin lighter is not a case of flicking a switch. It's a gradual process, but you should start seeing results within 30 days. Trying to force faster results with dangerous chemical bleaching creams could irritate and damage your skin, leading to breakouts or discoloration.
Now you know how to get lighter skin fast and safely. Always put your health first, and use only gentle natural creams to achieve the results you desire.

Magical hidden place...
Category: Places
Photo and caption by Martin Krajczy
I always try to avoid the famous places and scenes and search for hidden secrets or very special conditions. This place is such a hidden secret of Iceland but close to a famous area in the highlands. It was a hint from an Icelandic woman to have a closer look at this canyon. On my second rainy day in the region the sun came out for a few moments and the green/yellow moos was a great contrast to the dark lava mountains. The backgroundn mountains look like a prawn of a panther. Pure Magic and nature as its best.

I am currently a Doctoral student in the Environmental Science Ph.D. Program at Ball State University. My background is diverse and includes; fisheries management, ecology, water quality, environmental statistics, ecological modeling, and computer programming. I am currently involved in a variety of research projects studying freshwater fishes to evaluate biotic and abiotic variables influencing these organisms at the population and community level. I am particularly interested in applying Bayesian inference to models describing these relationships. My current projects are focused on comparing results of Bayesian and frequentist inference of many standard fisheries models including; maturity, mortality, and gear detectability.
The preferred software for all my data analysis and visualization needs is the open source R programming language. I am working on an introductory tutorial for R targeted to environmental scientists. They will be posted on this website when ready so check back soon! For conducting Bayesian inference I typically use JAGS implemented through R. Although, OpenBUGS, WinBUGS, and STAN work equally as well.

Nikon d40 (d40x) reliability
Wow, I'm reading this forum and it's filled with people having issues with their d40's. I hope this is not a glimpse of things to come for me.
I've been enjoying my d40x since I got it about 5 years ago. I was thinking of upgrading but I'm having fun with mine and like the smaller size compared to some of the other Nikons.
Thanks, Pat

It really depends on how you treat it.
It cannot have the ruggedness of a pro body for the price we paid.
We do have one at home, bought in mid 2006, and continues to deliver precious images.
Of course when not shooting it is always inside its well padded bag.
We have been thinking of getting a D5100 or a D7000 eventually, but only because of better image quality and unbelievable performance at high ISO.
Have a great time :-)

Hi Patrick,
Welcome to Nikonians!
Remember that most owners don't have any problems with their D40(X) bodies and do not post about their cameras working perfectly.
For every D40 series body that you find a problem written or posted about, are thousands of D40 bodies that continue to work perfectly.
Good Luck and Enjoy your Nikons!

Statistically speaking, there are 16 possible winners of next week's netball world championships.
You can get out your Vivid and put a solid black line through 12 of those challengers right now.
Yes, it hardly speaks volumes for the state of the international game that only four sides are capable of being crowned world champions. But the good news is, the competition among the top four is more fierce than ever.
England and Jamaica are now considered genuine title contenders in their own right. They have improved markedly over the past four years, with each country now pouring more cash than ever before into their high performance programmes.
So while there is a sense that the semifinals are predetermined - the Silver Ferns will meet England, while Australia will take on Jamaica - what will happen from there is anyone's guess.
New Zealand
Current world ranking: 1
Placing at 2007 world champs: 2
Star players: Casey Williams, Temepara George, Irene van Dyk
Wildcard: Anna Scarlett
For arguably the first time in 58 years, the Silver Ferns head to the world championships ever so slight favourites.
They are number one in the world rankings, the Commonwealth Games champions, they've had the most stability in their programme over the past 18 months, and their main rivals are all missing key players due to injury and, in the case of Jamaica, suspension.
But favourites status means little at a world tournament, where the condensed nature of the draw creates a whole new set of challenges and leaves little room for error.
The downside of heading into the championships with a settled line is that stability can also mean predictability. There is no chance that the Ferns will be able to sneak up on their opposition - their game plan and main combinations are out there for all to see, and have been for some time.
Coach Ruth Aitken believes after last month's drawn series against Australia her side still have some tricks left for the world championships, but ultimately "it's not so much about having secrets, it's about the execution of the game plan".
The Ferns' depth in the attacking end of the court remains a key concern, and they will be working hard over the early days of the tournament to further develop a range of options. But they can feel confident with the form their frontliners are showing.
Veteran midcourter Temepara George is playing some of the best netball of her career, while super shooter Maria Tutaia has emerged as a star in her own right, complementing the evergreen Irene van Dyk - the most accurate shooter in world netball.
The Ferns' strength lies in their defensive end, which is superbly led by captain Casey Williams. Anna Scarlett, Leana de Bruin and Katrina Grant are all worthy of starting alongside Williams, but with each offering a different set of strengths, the Ferns' management will likely take a horses for courses type approach.
Current world ranking: 2
Placing at 2007 world champs: 1
Star players: Natalie von Bertouch, Julie Corletto, Catherine Cox
Wildcard: Natalie Medhurst
Australian coach Norma Plummer has taken a punt and selected a vastly new-look side for the world championships, adding a smattering of youth to the side that suffered a heartbreaking double overtime loss in that epic final in Delhi last year.
With five changes to the test line-up from last year, Australia as a group are very much an unknown quantity.
Most of the new faces earned selection on the back of stand-out transtasman league seasons, but a couple of changes were brought about as a result of injury - the most notable being the loss of feisty captain Sharelle McMahon with a torn Achilles.
It was undoubtedly a big blow for the Australians. An inspirational figure, McMahon's influence will be severely missed on and off the court. But as was seen in their two outings against New Zealand last month, it doesn't make the Diamonds any less competitive.
The Australians still have plenty of experience in the likes of Natalie von Bertouch, whose game seems to have lifted after assuming the captaincy role, Catherine Cox, Mo'onia Gerrard and Julie Corletto.
And, like the Kiwis they have options galore in the defensive end giving Plummer the ability to mix up her lines to ensure the opposition attack can't get comfortable.
The Diamonds have also probably had one of the most comprehensive build-ups to the tournament. After last month's tests the team had a four-day camp in Hong Kong before flying in to Singapore at the beginning of the week.
Current world ranking: 3
Placing at 2007 world champs: 4
Star players: Geva Mentor, Sonia Mkoloma, Pamela Cookey
Wildcard: Stacey Francis
The English netball team have been building for a while now. Over the past four years they have pushed Australia and New Zealand hard and even pulled off a couple of big upsets. But they have yet to appear in a final of a major tournament and really challenge the dominance of the top two sides.
Their coach, former Australian international Sue Hawkins, thinks she has found the missing key ingredient - fitness.
"It's always been that we've done three quarters and then blown one quarter. So that's been the main focus is to get those fitness levels up," she said. "We're extremely fit at the moment, once your fitness level gets up there you are able to sustain your skill level for much longer and hopefully that'll work for us."
Like the Silver Ferns and Australia, England can also boast to having an exceptionally deep defensive end. Over the past 12 months young defender Stacey Francis has emerged as a world class defender alongside long-time pairing Geva Mentor and Sonia Mkoloma.
But the area that has traditionally let England down is their shooting circle. Louisa Brownfield and Jo Harten have the tendency to go off the boil when the pressure comes on, and the pair will need to step up in this tournament. They do have a strong support shooter in wily attacker Pamela Cookey.
In the absence of McMahon and Jamaica's Simone Forbes, Cookey will be one of the most exciting goal attacks at the tournament. She plays the game at speed and is a key playmaker for the English side.
Hawkins, a former shooter, said she has also been doing a lot of work with her shooting end to get their accuracy and confidence up.
Current world ranking: 4
Placing at 2007 world champs: 3
Star players: Romelda Aiken, Nadine Bryan, Althea Byfield
Wildcard: Jhanielle Fowler
Be wary of the Jamaicans. That's one thing Ferns coach Ruth Aitken and her long-time rival Norma Plummer are united on.
The Sunshine Girls haven't had the smoothest path to the world championships. They lost their captain and key playmaker Simone Forbes, who is serving out a three-month suspension after testing positive for a banned substance.
The substance is also found in the drugs Forbes' was taking for fertility treatment, but in an age of stringent protocols, where athletes must inform the testers if they've had so much as a Panadol, there was little chance of recourse.
They have also had a late change to the coaching line-up, with Connie Francis curiously ousted just months out from the tournament, and Oberon Pitterson appointed to the position.
Their key threats lie in their shooting end, led by 1.96m shooter Romelda Aiken, who was virtually unstoppable for the ANZ Championship-winning Queensland Firebirds this season.
If for some reason Aiken isn't firing, no matter. Jamaica have the option of bringing on an even bigger shooter - 1.98m Jhanielle Fowler.
Jamaica have also enlisted the help of former Australian coach Jill McIntosh, who has been working with the team for the past 16 weeks.
McIntosh's influence on the team was apparent in their last international series back in April, when they beat England 2-1, with many observers noting a more disciplined and skilful performance from the Jamaican side.

Points of interest along the Foothills Trail include majestic Table Rock, the Estatoe Valley, and Sassafras Mountain, the highest peak in South Carolina at 3,553 feet. This photo was taken at the Chimney Top Gap crossing in the Pickens County community of Sunset.
Reflections on the Foothills Trail
Contributor Evangeline Ledbetter offers these words on her experience hiking the Foothills Trail: "I love to hike on the Foothills Trail. This section is from Sassafras Mountain to Laurel Valley at Highway 178. The trail crosses F. Van Clayton Memorial Highway, which also goes to Sassafras Mountain – the highest point in SC. The sun shining through the maple and hickory trees creates a golden glow that is spectacular."

Hi, this is Pete Markiewicz, a web/interactive design instructor in Los Angeles.
I'm currently exploring the idea of ongoing conversion of physical design to virtual services. This is dematerialization - one of the features of sustainable design articulated by Nathan Shedroff in his great book "Design is the Problem: The Future of Design Must Be Sustainable".
It seems to be assumed that converting CDs to iTune services, or phone books to web directories is automatically more green than physical products - but is it? Also, is it enough that Google is going green, or will designers and developers have to change to improve the sustainability of their work?
In particular, I'm looking at web design. This goes beyond "green web hosts", though they play a part. In parallel with other design areas, I'm interested in the design itself, and how it feeds back on sustainability. With the Internet using nearly 10% of the power in the US, design decisions on the web (e.g. including big default code libraries or CPU-hungry 3D) can easily reduce sustainability.
While we may not need to go as far as the "blackle" proposal for Google's home page a few years ago, web/interactive design will surely recognize a sustainability problem, as have industrial design, interior design, and architecture.
There's also room for exploring the close apparent similarity to good, efficient UX with a "sustainable user experience" - sustainability may be a good way to explain UX/UI decisions to non-technical stakeholders.
If you find this topic interesting, please check my new blog on the topic at http://sustainablevirtualdesign.wordpress.com. Also, I am working on a HTML5 "boilerplate" at http://greenboilerplate.com, optimized along sustainability lines, rather than the usual responsive web model - it integrates older progressive enhancement principles.
Please feel free to comment (hopefully after looking at some of my ideas on the blog and the sustainability "factoids" page). I'm looking for:
1.Collaborators with experience in sustainability in other design areas, who might be interested in developing analogous systems for the web, virtual worlds, and games.
2. Hardcore physical engineering types - can we really figure out if some technologies used to create UI (think flash) are as wasteful as they say?
Thanks Pete Markiewicz - website with bio and other information at http://www.plyojump.com

QUINCY — A school bus crash slightly delayed spring break for some Waynesboro Area School District students Thursday.
One driver was taken to the hospital for minor injuries and no children were hurt in the crash, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
The accident happened around 11:50 a.m. in the northbound lane of Route 997, near Nunnery Road.
Robert Johns III, 17, of Waynesboro was driving a 1996 Dodge Neon and did not activate his turn signal in enough time for the person behind him to stop when he was trying to make a left turn on to Nunnery Road from Route 997. This caused a chain-reaction accident, with a 2010 Ford Escape driven by Leslie Sleicher, 57, of Mont Alto hitting the rear of Johns' car and a school bus hitting the rear of Sleicher's SUV, police said.
A school nurse and emergency medical personnel examined all the children who were cleared to leave without treatment and transferred to another bus.
Johns was taken to Waynesboro Hospital with minor injuries.

I found this an exciting book, not so much because of any breakthroughs in our understanding of child development, but because of the broad look at development that it encompasses in traveling from the subcellular level to the body politic. Equally fascinating is that no matter at which end of this spectrum one begins, the underlying theme of "structure leads to function leads to behavior" appears to apply equally well.
A number of chapters deal with the effects of various biological insults on the developing nervous system and the methods available to study them, such as staining techniques, tissue culture, and the use of enzyme markers. There is a good review of "Drugs in Pregnancy and Their Effects on Pre- and Postnatal Development" by Kelsey, with an interesting observation that nurses working in operating rooms have a higher rate of miscarriage, suggesting a relationship to the anesthetic agents being used

Strep Throat Prevention and Treatments
Strep Throat Basics
Strep Throat Basics
Strep throat is caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus). Symptoms include fever, sore throat, and trouble swallowing. Children may also experience vomiting, stomachache, and headache. Signs of strep throat are white dots or redness on the throat.
Strep throat isn't just a sore throat—it's highly contagious and can lead to serious complications. Here are a few tips for lowering your chances of catching and spreading strep throat, and what to do if you get it.
Wash Your Hands
Wash Your Hands
Hand washing is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of common infections like strep. It is especially helpful in places where germs spread easily, like hospitals, nursing homes, and schools.
Wash your hands throughout the day, especially before, during, and after food preparation, as well as before eating. Wash your hands well after using the bathroom or changing a diaper.
If you're caring for someone who is ill, wash your hands before and after being near them. If you're sick, wash your hands after sneezing, coughing, or blowing your nose.
Make Hand Washing Count
Make Hand Washing Count
Just running your hands under water for a few seconds isn't enough to kill germs. Make it count! Wet your hands and lather up. Scrub your hands front and back, between your fingers, and under fingernails. Continue for at least 20 seconds – that's about as long as it takes to sing the happy birthday song twice. Rinse well and wipe on a clean towel or use a hand dryer. Teach children the proper way to wash, too.
Handy Hand Sanitizers
Handy Hand Sanitizers
Soap and water is best. But if you don't have access to a sink, use a hand sanitizer. It's not quite as good as soap and water, but if it's made up of at least 60 percent alcohol, it can kill a lot – but not all – germs. When using a hand sanitizer, be sure to read and follow package directions. Carry some with you!
Around the House
Around the House
There are some common sense things we can all do to prevent the spread of germs in our own homes. Cover your mouth when you sneeze or cough, and teach your children to do the same. And remember to follow up coughs and sneezes with thorough handwashing. If someone in your household has strep, don't share food, drinks, or place settings. Wash all dishes and kitchen utensils in hot soapy water, or use the dishwasher.
The most important treatment for strep throat is antibiotics, so if you have symptoms, see your doctor. All it takes is a simple throat culture to diagnose strep. With antibiotics, symptoms will improve quickly, usually within 24 to 48 hours. After 24 hours on antibiotics, you're no longer considered contagious.
Your doctor may prescribe a course of antibiotics that last up to two weeks. To prevent rheumatic fever and other serious side effects of strep throat, it's important to finish all your medication, even after you feel better.
Alleviate Pain and Fever
Alleviate Pain and Fever
While antibiotics are helping to stop the infection, you may want to do something to alleviate symptoms. Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen and acetaminophen can ease a sore throat and reduce fever. Another way to soothe your throat is to gargle with warm salt water a few times a day.
Important Note: Don't give aspirin to young children or teens with an infection, as a serious illness called Reye's syndrome may occur.
Dietary Changes
Dietary Changes
Drink lots of water. It will keep you hydrated and moisten your sore throat so it's easier to swallow. Choose foods that are soft and easy to swallow, like soup, yogurt, and ice cream. Citrus foods and spicy foods will probably irritate your already sore throat. If your child won't eat, try putting food in the blender or offer gelatin or ice pops.
Rest Up
Rest Up
Rest is one of the most important things you can do to regain your strength. Make sure you get enough sleep at night and, if possible, stay home for a day or two and take it easy. Don't engage in strenuous activities. Children should not go to school until they feel better.
A saline nasal spray or humidifier can help keep your mucous membranes moist and help you sleep. Avoid household irritants like smoke, cleaning products, and other chemicals that can irritate your throat and nasal passages.
A Word of Caution
A Word of Caution
Symptoms of strep throat sometimes go away on their own or with use of alternative treatments. However, strep can cause other serious illnesses, including rheumatic fever, which can lead to heart disease. Antibiotics are the only way to protect against rheumatic fever. This risk is greatest in children between the ages of four and 15.
According to NYU Langone Medical Center, rheumatic fever is rare in the U.S., since most people with strep throat are treated with antibiotics. In developing countries, however, it is a leading cause of heart disease.

Indian GDP growth hits nine-year lows
India's economic growth has fallen below 6 per cent to its lowest level in nine years, as manufacturing and agriculture output slumped.
India's economy grew 5.3 per cent year-on-year in the first quarter, compared with 9.2 per cent in the first quarter of 2011. In addition, industrial production and exports fell sharply in April due to falling demand for Indian goods.
Writing in the Indian Express newspaper, JPMorgan economist Jahangir Aziz said the difficulties were the result of "weak policy" and "the erosion of investor confidence" in the country's government.
India's coalition government has been hit by corruption scandals which have stalled key economic reforms in their course through parliament, in some cases by more than a year.
However, Franklin Templeton's veteran emerging markets investor Mark Mobius said he was "optimistic" India would come through its challenges.
Writing on his blog, Mr Mobius said: "Over the past year, fierce protests in India have pushed corruption to the top of policymakers' agendas. I see activism as the first step to address these problems, and I think the actions of anti-corruption activists have made great strides toward rallying public support and engaging officials.
"However, a handful of people backed by the power of social and electronic media can only influence the system so much. Inevitably the state has more power to bring about change than individuals do, so these protests must be met with action at the state level."
Meanwhile, Brazil has cut its base interest rate to a new record low of 8.5 per cent as it looks to restore previous high levels of growth. In 2010 Brazil's GDP grew 7.5 per cent but this rate fell to 2.7 per cent in 2011 and has shown signs of continuing at a low level through 2012.

No one injured in small chemical explosion at Mesquite research lab
No one was injured early Saturday in a small explosion that caused a fire at a Mesquite chemical facility, firefighters said.
The blast happened at around 7 a.m. at Fritz Industries, 2900 Executive Boulevard. Two janitorial workers were in the building at the time, but both were far enough away that they weren't injured, authorities said.
"It was in the research lab, which was a good thing because the quantity of the chemicals was small," said Mesquite fire spokesman Jeff Miller.
The company also has a manufacturing facility and storage building, which contain more chemicals, he said. It's located in an industrial area that backs up to a residential neighborhood off Military Parkway.
Miller said the fire was so small and extinguished so quickly that no evacuation was necessary. From the outside, the building doesn't even look damaged, he said.
"It was one alarm," he said. "They knocked it down pretty fast."
Firefighters responded to the site and fought the fire from the outside. After it was put out, they searched the building to make sure there were no other people inside. Finding nothing, they evacuated until they could confirm what kind of chemicals caused the explosion.
That process is still happening, Miller said.
Miller said the Mesquite Fire Department routinely investigates the facilities. The department knows what kind of chemicals are stored inside, but he said that information wasn't immediately available Saturday morning.
"They do a lot of different things," Miller said of Fritz Industries.
The company's website said it specializes in "applied chemistry and innovative manufacturing." It serves oilfield and gas companies and also offers specialty products, including some used in agriculture, the website says.

From Number 191 - Summer 2002
Saints and Hunting
Between the hunting vote in Parliament in March and the final decision on how the government will proceed with it, to be given in September, Ark readers may like to know which saints to invoke on this issue. There are three particular saints who have been connected with hunting, a little-known Welsh lady, a Roman soldier and a French nobleman.
St Melangell (pronounced Melangeth)
Latin name, Monacella. The ancient Welsh legend concerns a young Irish (or Scottish) girl, (embellishments include - daughter of a king - but they always do!) whose father in A.D. 607 had arranged for her to marry a chieftain. She did not want to marry this old man, so joined a band of Irish hermits who crossed the sea to preach the Christian Gospel to the pagan Welsh. She travelled to the Pennant Valley, in Powys, and lived alone in a cave in the hillside.
One day Brochwel, (or Ysgythrog) the Prince of Powys, was out hunting with his men and his hounds. The hounds raised a hare that took refuge in a thicket. The hounds were urged on but fled, howling. Their huntsman raised his horn to his lips but was unable to remove it. On pursuit, the Prince found the young Melangell standing there - the hare had run under her long skirts to hide. The young woman told Brochwel that she lived in the valley, where she had come to take refuge, like the hare. The Prince was so impressed by her that he granted her the valley as a sanctuary for people and animals. Here she founded a religious community, serving as abbess for thirty-seven years.
There is an Anglican shrine-church (Church in Wales) in Pennant Melangell, Powys, dedicated to the saint, which has been a focus for pilgrimage for centuries. Parishioners and devotees have recently created a 15-mile pilgrimsĺ walk, the Pererindod Melangell, between the Vyrnwy and Tanat valleys. Known as a place of healing, it attracts an increasing number of visitors, while people suffering particularly from cancer are drawn to the counselling service available there (Cancer Help Centre, telephone: 01691-860408). At present there is an appeal to raise funds to buy a property nearby to expand their counselling service.
* For more information write to The Administrator, The Parish Office, Pennant Melangell, Llangynog, Via Oswestry, SY10 0HQ; telephone: 01691-860408

St Eustace
Latin name: Eustachius. Placidius, a pagan Roman soldier served as a general in the army under the Emperor Trajan (98 - 117 AD). He was a passionate hunter. One day he lost his way during a hunt in a wood by the banks of the Tiber. Whilst he wandered a golden stag with silver antlers and gem-like eyes confronted him, bearing a crucifix between its antlers. As he gazed on the beast, Placidius heard a voice, urging him to give up hunting and become a Christian, warning him that he would suffer for Christ. He was baptized with his wife and two sons, and given the name Eustachius.
Denounced as a Christian, he lost his property, was reduced to abject poverty, and the Roman authorities took his wife and children. However, being a capable general, he was recalled to duty by Trajan to help repel barbarians from Rome, which he did. He and his family were reunited with the expectation they would sacrifice to idols in thanks for a military victory. When they refused, an enraged Trajan ordered them thrown to the lions. However, the lions played like kittens around them, so they were martyred together in A.D.188 by being cooked to death in a bronze bull. His feast day is 20th October.
(The Order of St Eustace is an order of hunters! They are supposed to be compassionate to the animals they hunt and insert the word Ĺunfetteredĺ before Ĺhuntingĺ in accounts like the one above.)
St Hubert of Liege, known as the Apostle of the Ardennes.
Born c.656, grandson of the King of Toulouse and eldest son of Bertrand, Duke of Aquitaine, Hubert was a worldly, popular and dissolute layman courtier at Nuestria in northwest France in his youth. For political reasons he emigrated to the border area between modern France and Germany and married in 682.
Hubert was passionately devoted to hunting. While hunting a stag on a Good Friday morning, he received a vision of a crucifix between its antlers. A voice warned him, ĹHubert, unless you turn to the Lord, and lead a holy life, you shall quickly go down to hell.ĺ It was a conversion experience for Hubert.
When his wife died soon after this incident, Hubert renounced all his worldy positions, titles and wealth, handed his patrimony, and the care of his only son, to his brother, and studied for the priesthood. After ordination he served as assistant to Saint Lambert. Known for his excellent preaching and his generosity to the poor, he became the first bishop of Liege and evangelized the Ardenne region, converting the pagans. He died in 727 while reciting the Our Father. His feast day is 3rd November.

MACALLY MBP30L PORTABLE BATTERY CHARGER BUILT-IN CABLES FOR CELL PHONE iPHONE
PORTABLE CHARGER WITH BUILT-IN LIGHTNING CONNECTOR (FOR iPHONE OR iPOD) AND BUILT-IN MICRO USB CONNECTOR (FOR OTHER DEVICES)
INTERNAL 3000mAh LITHIUM ION BATTERY
This Macally portable charger has a built-in lighting connector, built-in micro usb connector and a USB port so you can quickly connect your device and charge on the go. Although this device is tailor made to work with iPhone/iPod, you can actually use it to charge any cell phone.
INTERNAL BATTERY: The portable charger has an internal 3000mAh battery that is manufactured with high-grade lithium ion cells. Simply connect this to your phone or iPod and the charge will transfer to your device. Now you'll be able to charge your anywhere!
RECHARGE BATTERY: There is a micro usb port on the side of the device. Simply plug in the micro usb cable (included) and you can recharge the device.
MORE POWER: The portable charger is 2.5A @ 5V DC and it will fully charge an iPhone in less than 2 hours. This will add more than 8 hours of extra talk time and/or 4320 hours of extra standby time. Features five LED lights that will show you the amount of charge you have remaining - each light represents 20% charge.
PORTABLE: This is compact and portable, measuring less than 4" tall. Keep it in your briefcase, backpack, pocket, locker, purse or fanny pack (does anyone wear those anymore). This is great for day-to-day usage. This is especially ideal for travel, vacations, emergency, camping, etc. The possibilities are endless, now you can even charge your phone on an airplane! Sure, you can use traditional car chargers and wall chargers, but a portable charger will give you more versatility. With portable power you can charge anytime, anywhere!
CHARGE MULTIPLE DEVICES: This portable charger provides three methods of charging. (1) Use the built-in lightning cable to charge an iPhone or iPod. (2) Use the built-in micro usb cable to charge a cell phone. (3) Tap into the USB port and you can charge any other device. You can even use all three methods and charge three devices at one time.
MISC FEATURES: This device is licensed by Apple so you will not get any error messages. Automatic shutoff to preserve battery life. Built-in lightning connector. One touch button to turn power on/off and check battery level. Long standby time - tests showed this portable charger took 30 days to self discharge from 100% to 95%
OUR REVIEW: This device is a lifesaver - you'll love the ability to charge your device on the go - no more searching for the wall outlets - no more carrying around bulky chargers with long cords. Macally is an excellent brand that continues to deliver innovative high quality products. Most other portable chargers on the market require you to use a separate cable and plug into a USB port. Whereas this device has the cables built-in so you don't have to carry around extra cords. Macally also offers a one-year manufacturer warranty.

The photo above is Malaya, one of JustFab's best selling wedge heels.
Wedge Heels
Similar to the wedge sandal, the standard wedge heel is a raised shoe with a completely solid heel that runs the length of the style, meaning that there is no gap between the front and back of the shoe. The block nature of the wedge makes it a great, stylish walking shoe that is both comfortable and totally cute. Women's wedge heels can be made out of different materials such as raffia, wood or cork, and add behomian flair to any ensemble!
Keep reading for some suggestions from the JustFab Style Experts about how to wear your fave new wedge heels!
How to Wear Women's Wedge Heels
Kimora Lee Simmons, President & Creative Director, wears this style with jeans:
"I love pairing wedge heels with high-waisted, wide-legged jeans. When you walk, the cuff of the pant will flow a little, revealing a playful sneak peek at your striking new wedge heels! Wear a fitted top to really flaunt your figure, and carry a large tote for a sharp and sophisticated statement."
Angela Fink, Style Expert, uses wedge heels to give off a feminine appearance:
"I suggest wearing wedge heels with sundresses for an unbeatable feminine appearance. You can pick styles in pastels, patterns or solids - all will look great depending on your outfit. I really love pairing wedge heels with a nautical-themed outfit. For example, match a striped sundress with solid white or navy wedge heels with raffia details, or reverse it and try a solid sundress in white or navy with a striped wedge. Use your bag or jewelry to add a hint of red to the outfit for a fun, flawless look."
Nina Lenders, Style Expert, goes for a more carefree look:
"Wedges are great with white jeans! You can pick any color or material, and they will pop against the clean white color. Pair with a flirty top in a bright hue for a bold, carefree look, and add chunky jewelry to complete your outfit."
Daisy Lewellyn, Style Expert, loves the mix of style and comfort offered by wedge heels:
"Wedges are every girl's shoe savior! No matter if your'e pounding the pavement at the mall or headed to the office, they are a stylish comfy shoe dream come true. I love pairing them with flirty skirts or bohemian embellished ethnic tunics. You're sure to look free-spirited and fabulous!"
Dos and Don'ts:
DO: Try wedge heels in different patterns and textures to create fresh, fantastic ensembles!
DON'T: Wear heavy wedge heels with a floor-length ball gown. The chunky quality will clash with the elegance of your look.
We'd love to hear how you rock this style! We welcome everyone to post a comment below with their thoughts and advice on how they wear women's wedge heels.
