With tall vertical windows and a crosshatch of wrought iron around the front door, the home that crockery merchant Daniel T. Charles built downtown in 1889 retains its vintage character.
Stop for a moment at the white brick house and it's easy to picture Charles greeting prominent Albany maltster Albert C. Burt, a neighbor from around the corner. The men might talk of cookware and beer before tipping their hats to each other in the morning.
Today, a stroll in this neighborhood of brick and brownstone homes begs this sort of historical imagining. Especially if lifetime resident the Rev. John J. Rooney's advice is followed: Read the little plaques that say who built what and when.
"It's a real history book," Rooney said. "It's like somebody walking with you, telling you the history of the community."
Because Albany was one of America's earliest cities, history is its biggest draw, and these lesser-known buildings are just the start. Over the centuries, New York's capital has been home to powerful political families, celebrated literary figures and architecture dating back to the earliest European settlers. When America was celebrating its bicentennial, Albany was gearing up for 300.
Visitors can explore these aspects of the city as well as contemporary attractions. Each season allows a different activity - from cross-country skiing to kayaking. Year-round, Albany's state museum exhibits a display on the Harlem Renaissance, and the state archives contain the world's largest collection of movie scripts. Area restaurants offer dishes ranging from steaks and spuds to Pakistani. And the bars - some cozy old pubs, others trendy spots where men are told to tuck in their shirts - stay open until 4 a.m.
GETTING THERE: Albany is bordered by Interstates 87 and 90, 156 miles northwest of New York City, 166 miles southwest of Boston, 233 miles northeast of Philadelphia and 226 miles south of Montreal. Air travelers can fly into the Albany International Airport, in the suburb of Colonie, on several major airlines. The Web site at
www.albanyairport.com provides more information. The airport can be reached at (518) 242-2200. Greyhound and Amtrak also serve the city.
GETTING AROUND: Buses run to most areas for $1 per ride, though service is scant Sunday nights. Fare, schedules and hours can be found at www.cdta.org or by calling (518) 482-8822 or the TDD line, (518) 482-9024. Taxis and rental cars are available.
DINING: You can get a tempeh Reuben at Mother Earth's Cafe, sambal glazed pork tenderloin at the innovative Justin's on Lark Street, or all the basics in-between at restaurants and pubs. Lombardo's is an Albany favorite for pasta and veal. Miss Albany Diner offers egg creams and Belgian waffles piled with whipped cream. Many independently-owned establishments are downtown and the major chains are plentiful in the suburbs
LODGING: More than 6,000 rooms are available in Albany and surrounding suburbs. Located downtown, the 1860s-era State Street Mansion Bed and Breakfast offers rooms ranging between $79 and $150 per night. At the Omni in the city's center, rooms run from $83 to $179. At The Desmond Hotel & Conference Center, convenient to the airport, a night's stay goes for $134 to $144. Major chains offer cheaper accommodations.
WEATHER: Average winter temperatures range from the teens to the 30s. Especially in the mornings, zero and below are possibilities. Summer months average in the high 60s to low 70s, but several days reach 90.

In the spring, the annual Tulip Festival and accompanying Pinksterfest celebrate the city's Dutch heritage with entertainers, vendors and a rainbow of flowers in Washington Park.
During summer, outdoor concerts are held in the marble-laden Empire State Plaza, blues cruises float on the Hudson River and free plays in the park beckon visitors outdoors. The sunny but typically mild weather is perfect for sojourns into tree-lined Lark Street's funky cafes, art galleries and shops.
Fall calls leaf-gazers to bicycle or kayak along the Hudson River. And an outdoor ice skating rink aside the Capitol building can feel as romantic as Rockefeller Plaza - perhaps more so, as quiet and crowdless as it often is.
Albany is also an ideal central location for day trips to other well-known spots - Lake Placid, Woodstock and the historic Saratoga race course. Skiers and snowboarders have their pick of the lifts in both New York and nearby New England.
The features that make for outdoor attractions now - vast forests and lakes in the Adirondacks north of Albany and Catskills to the south - were what first attracted settlers to the region. Animals with warm coats abounded. The Albany-area became a fur-trading center for American Indians and later, Europeans.
The Hudson River was the byway that led the French in first. The Dutch brought 8,000 people in the 1600s. Albany was one of America's largest early cities.
Once a state was established, leaders met in New York City and Albany until the growing stacks of government records required a permanent home. In 1797, the Legislature erected a building in Albany.
Because of New York's large block of presidential electoral votes, the state has long been a launching pad for those with national political aspirations.
Martin Van Buren, Grover Cleveland, Theodore and Franklin D. Roosevelt headed to the White House from New York. New York's current governor, George Pataki, is believed to have his eye on higher office.
Every time a governor moves into the mansion, said historian and state Assemblyman John McEneny, "he immediately becomes a potential candidate for the White House."
The city itself has been run by an Irish, Democratic political machine compared to those in Boston and Chicago. While the machine is now in its death-throes, a Republican has not held a city office since 1932.
Important literary figures also have called Albany home.
This is where Herman Melville was schooled and Henry James was born. Still living here is William Kennedy, who wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Ironweed," set in Albany. Kennedy now runs a writers institute, which recently brought Frank McCourt to town.
And then there are Albany's buildings, prized for their varied styles during four centuries of construction.
Must-sees include churches sitting on nearly every corner, City Hall, and a building that is now a Fleet Bank - formerly a grand old railroad stop called Union Station. "To some degree, without people buying newspapers and waiting for trains, it looks like the old station," Kennedy said .
Those with more affection for the modern can visit the South Mall, outside the Capitol. It boasts contemporary sculpture like "Two Lines Oblique," with 54-foot wind-propelled stainless steel needles, and The Egg, an outerspace-saucer-like structure that plays host to plays and concerts.
The Capitol, unique in that it is not dome-topped, is in the heart of the city. Completed in 1897, a number of peaked red roofs sit atop instead. Inside, the feature that gets visitors talking is the western staircase better known by another name, said Dorothy Woodard, operator of an old-fashioned elevator in the building.
"One thing they love to see is the million-dollar staircase," she said. The 119-foot high structure is surrounded by stone arches and pillars. Hundreds of stone carvings in the building include famous faces like abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass and Albany resident James Fenimore Cooper. There are many unrecognizable images too: legend says these are craftsmen's friends - or strangers who slipped them cash.
This pairing of the nation's famous sons with Albany connections and its average folks illustrates the two words McEneny said best describe Albany then and now: crossroads and community.
These days people joke that Albany is close to everywhere - a few hours from important places like Boston, Montreal and New York City - but that the city itself is nowhere. However, the fact that it was a crossroads for many places has long made it significant. Abraham Lincoln visited here, and after his assassination, his body was laid briefly in state in Albany's Capitol.
The Erie Canal, which connected the Hudson and Lake Erie in 1825, made Albany a critical link to the western part of the country.
"Albany is a great transportation hub," said Kennedy. "It was the furthest point of navigability on the Hudson. Roads went in every direction."
Today, with a population of 100,000, Albany has remained a tightly knit community. People know each other, and if they don't, may quickly ask where a new acquaintance went to grade school.
"Smalbany," McEneny joked.
He said that despite winning the Pulitzer Prize, William Kennedy is still just "Bill Kennedy from Albany." And while guides show visitors around the Capitol, don't be surprised if McEneny joins in too and points out his favorite parts of the building.
At the Miss Albany Diner on Broadway, offering egg creams and Belgian waffles, the people are so likely to strike up conversations with strangers that it's hard to tell newcomers from regulars.
In that sense, the neighborly atmosphere that existed when the crockery salesman and the maltster lived on Dove and Lancaster Streets is not only Albany's history, but its present.

The hotel I parked at doesn't have specific parking attendants. I had to go inside the hotel and ask if there was a specific area to park in. However, they were very helpful and I liked having my choice of where to park my car, rather than have to park somewhere not as nice. Since I knew I was getting back around noon, I was able to park under a tree, which ensured my car was nice and cool when I got into it. The lot was well lit, so when I arrived at 0530 to go to the airport, I felt safe walking from my car to the hotel,
Great location. Staff was friendly and helpful. Shuttle driver helped us with our luggage. Would use again.

Just starting your Grand Rapids self storage search? There are a few things you should know. Grand Rapids storage unit prices and availability are closely related to things like real estate prices, the type of housing available in the area, the city's wealth, and whether or not many people are moving to the area. The US Census keeps accurate data relating to all of these factors, so we've used their data on Grand Rapids to help inform your Grand Rapids self storage search.
Many people use storage as part of their move, so if there are many people moving to Grand Rapids, you might expect storage prices to be higher and unit availability to be lower. We can get a good idea of whether or not many people are moving to or from Grand Rapids by looking at the change in population. From 2010 to 2014, the Grand Rapids metro area population grew from 10,867 to 11,097, a growth rate of 2.12% according to the US Census.
Housing unit occupancy can give us an idea of what the demand is like for living and storage space in Grand Rapids. If housing occupancy rates in Grand Rapids are high, it's probably safe to assume that storage facility occupancy rates in Grand Rapids are also high, which would push unit prices up. 6% of housing units in Grand Rapids are vacant according to the US Census, while 94% are occupied. That's a higher rate than average for US cities, suggesting storage unit occupancy in Grand Rapids may also be higher. That might make it harder to find cheap storage in Grand Rapids.

I'm a new patient of Dr. Ratchford and I was having some serious symptoms such as tingling body and feeling like passing out all the times. I have visited him now for 4 time regarding on my symptoms but I just feel like it's complete waste of time and money to go see him. I'm still having same symptoms but I have not gotten any direction or suggestion from this guy he probably think i'm just nuts. I wonder if he treats his family the same way he treats his patients. I will probably die before I get something out of him.
Dr. Ratchford is a very rude,conceited, physician you will ever meet. I want to him thinking that he will have answers to my questions I had but after meeting 2 minutes with him I realize how far his nose was up his butt. Maybe it's just me but I feel if a doctor stars to tell a patient that he does not have much time for them dan is a time for that doctor to give back your license and move on with his life in a different career. Doctors I supposed to be there to help patients with their problem, not to make them feel like they are illiterate. Us a doctor he shouldn't know that patient coming to see him already have stress of the unknown of the hospital.
Dr. Ratchford has been our family doctor for many years, his easy going mannerism, professionalism and overall caring attidute makes him a great doctor.

Thanks to a grant from the Albertson's LCSC Student Success program, the Community Action Partnership hosted an event for approximately 60 people. The students and volunteers were given real life scenarios to solve, that Student Success Program Consultant Jeanette Gara-Betzold said is helpful for not only the students but for the staff of LCSC as well.
"It has been brought on as a training opportunity for faculty and staff to help us realize what our stereotypes are around poverty and how we can more effectively work with low income students and let them be more successful in college," said Gara-Betzold.
This is the fifth time the college has held the event. COPE has been used by many organizations across the country to help people become better educated on the issues of poverty.

Is symfony 1.1 too verbose?by kasi77 & 3 others
Among the remarks have about symfony 1.1, the most recurring one is the shift of philosophy between the 1.0 and 1.1 syntax. If symfony 1.0 syntax was made to write code fast, I believe it is not the case anymore with symfony 1.1, which is designed primarily for extensibility. The result is that a symfony 1.1 application looks a lot more like a Java program. I tend to agree that Object-Orientation is a good thing because it forces you to organize your code in a modular way. But when object-orientation makes you need to keep a symfony book aside at all times and multiply the number of LOC by two, I think it's a dead end.

Lamium galeobdolon
Lamium galeobdolon, commonly known as yellow archangel, artillery plant, or aluminium plant, is a widespread wildflower in Europe, and has been introduced elsewhere as a garden plant. It displays the asymmetric flower morphology, opposite leaves, and square stems typical of the mint family, Lamiaceae. The flowers are soft yellow and borne in axial clusters, with a prominent 'hood' (the dorsal lobe of the corolla). It spreads easily and so has been commonly used as an ornamental ground cover. It can be invasive in places where it is not native and caution must be taken when planting in these areas.[2]
Yellow archangel is a large-leaved perennial plant with underground runners growing to a height of about 40 to 80 cm (16 to 31 in). The paired opposite leaves are stalked, broadly ovate with a cordate base and toothed margin. The underside of the leaves is often purplish. The flowers grow in whorls in a terminal spike. The calyx is five-lobed. The corolla is yellow, 15 to 25 mm (0.6 to 1.0 in) long, the petals fused with a long tube and two lips. The upper lip is hooded and the lower lip has three similar-sized lobes with the central one being triangular and often streaked with orange. There are two short stamens and two long ones. The carpels are fused and the fruit is a four-chambered schizocarp.[3]
There are a number of closely related taxa which hybridize with L. galeobdolon and in some cases are not unequivocally accepted as distinct species but considered subspecies or varieties by many authors.[citation needed] Most well-known among these is variegated yellow archangel (subsp. argentatum), whose leaves often have variegation, showing as silver patches arranged as a wide semicircle. This, and in particular its large-flowered and even stronger-marked cultivar 'variegatum', is the taxon most often met with as a garden escapee.

When researchers examined bullying in twenty schools, they were told that the main problem was drama created by the girls. Their findings told a very different story, however.
It is OK for men to show vulnerability as long as it is related to a past they can control. This is how the researcher Eirik Askerøi interprets the musician Johnny Cash.
Exclusion during the student days may result in lower ambitions when entering the job market. In bioengineering, male students with minority background are struggling the most.
According to new research, queer asylum seekers adjust to the Norwegian model in order to gain credibility by society and the authorities. The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI) says that they take the applicants' diverse sexual expressions into consideration.
Men from Central and Southern Europe like the fact that the father's quota is already negotiated and indisputable.
Who should take over the business after dad? Sons are still preferred to girls in family businesses.
New publications
Teenagers who send digital messages with sexual contents are far more exposed to violence in love relationships than others.
When words like 'gay', 'fag', and 'lesbo' are used as insults it is mostly among friends. But that does not make them harmless, according to the Norwegian researcher Hilde Slåtten.
Some computer games provide players with gay characters. At the same time, however, the gay characters can always be deselected. Where is the diversity in the gaming world? asks Norwegian game researcher.
If you are a male immigrant and marry a woman from a country other than your own, you increase your chances of a good job and a high income. This applies whether the woman you marry is Norwegian or not.
In order to say anything about gender and violence – apart from counting the number of men and women who abuse or are being abused – we need to look at the meaning behind the violence, according to the Norwegian researcher Hilde Jakobsen.
The Research Council's Director-General Arvid Hallén was honest in his review of more than two years' work with mainstreaming of gender perspectives in research. Norway still has a long way to go.
Blue tit females mate with more than one male. Several possible blue tit fathers may then work together to stop predators from attacking their young, according to new research from the University of Bergen. Philosopher Claus Halberg believes this research challenges established ideas about the passive female.
Norwegian-Pakistani mothers who never got the chance to realise their ambitions on the job market have other plans for their own daughters. This particularly affects the way they raise their sons.
A part-time job does not necessarily mean long-term success for integration into working life. Many immigrant women fall out of the labour market after being employed for a while.
Straddling the legs around a cello was considered immoral; sitting by the piano was more becoming for a lady. Thus, women became important for the development of piano composition and play.
When Norwegian law meets Muslim family law, the human rights of Muslim immigrant women are violated. This is one of the findings in a new doctoral dissertation.

Avalanche Advisory
|Turnagain Area Avalanche Advisory
|Travel Advice: Very dangerous avalanche conditions. Travel in avalanche terrain not recommended.
|Travel Advice: Very dangerous avalanche conditions. Travel in avalanche terrain not recommended.
|Travel Advice: Very dangerous avalanche conditions. Travel in avalanche terrain not recommended.
|Show the Complete North American Avalanche Danger Scale
Merry Christmas! Skiers and riders got a big Christmas present today in the form of the biggest storm of the year... Unfortunately it's too much to play with today. Girdwood and Turnagain Pass are trying to adjust to 2-3 feet of new snow in the last 24 hours, which has the avalanche danger pegged at HIGH. Even playing below treeline is going to be difficult and potentially dangerous with this much new snow.
We are issuing an Avalanche Warning today, meaning HIGH avalanche danger can be found across a wide region. Backcountry travel is not recommended.
This morning, natural avalanches have been reported along the Seward Highway and in Girdwood. It's undoubtedly avalanching spontaneously across the region, but the storm is too thick for us to see much yet. Open your Christmas presents, relax, enjoy the day off, and be safe.
Wind has been blowing into the 60s at the ridgetops along with all that new snow. Natural avalanche activity started sometime yesterday and got bigger overnight as the new snow piled up. Despite a taper expected this morning in the storm intensity, the possibility of natural and human triggered avalanches will remain high this morning. With this much snow we can expect large avalanches to run down into valley bottoms, making safe areas difficult to determine even below treeline. The best travel advice today is to stay away from the Kenai peninsula or go to Alyeska.
Areas below treeline that are less wind affected will still have a huge amount of new snow. All this new weight is sitting on a very weak base from early winter. There is nothing good about this combination... The stress of the new snow will be exceeding the strength of the underlying foundation. Let's give it time to go through the natural avalanche cycle before we go play in the new snow.
By mid afternoon yesterday the backcountry in Turnagain was already so deep that it was difficult to ski. The snow depth has doubled since then... Again, the best advice is to stay away until the snowpack has time to adjust to this massive new load.
24 hour storm totals as of 5am
Turnagain Pass - 24-30 inches snow, 2+ inches of water
Alyeska - 25-36 inches snow, 3+ inches of water
Wind reaching over 60 mph at most ridgetop weather stations.
Temperatures have risen during the storm, with some rain at low elevations. The storm is expected to taper this morning both in wind and precipitation. Tomorrow morning another pulse is expected to hit with more heavy snow and high wind across our region. The Blizzard Warning is canceled, but the storm is not over.
This is a general backcountry avalanche advisory issued for Turnagain Arm with Turnagain Pass as the core advisory area (this advisory does not apply to highways, railroads, or operating ski areas).
Wendy will issue the next advisory Wednesday morning December 26th.
This is a general backcountry avalanche advisory issued for Turnagain Arm with Turnagain Pass as the core advisory area (this advisory does not apply to highways, railroads, or operating ski areas).
Riding status is not associated with avalanche danger. An area will be open to motorized use in accordance to the Forest Management Plan when snow coverage is adequate to protect underlying vegetation. Backcountry hazards including avalanche hazard are always present regardless of the open status of motorized use areas.

How Will Edmonton Handle Nugent-Hopkins?
Injuries to forwards Ales Hemsky and Sam Gagner made it easy for the Oilers to give top prospect Ryan Nugent-Hopkins plenty of ice time in October.
The first overall draft pick put on a show, scoring four goals (including a memorable hat trick) and adding an assist in first six games. Now as the Oilers get healthier, the team must decide whether to keep in the every day lineup or send him back to junior hockey so his professional contract clock doesn't start.
That decision will come after he plays three more games. Coach Tom Renney may buy some evaluation time by moving him in and out of the lineup.
"Obviously I don't want to miss any games. I just want to keep playing," Nugent-Hopkins told the Edmonton Sun. "If it happens, it happens. I just want to stay in the lineup as long as I can.
On the plus side, the wiry Nugent-Hopkins has made some dazzling plays with fellow top prospects Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle. On the down side, he isn't strong on face-offs and Edmonton's management wonders how he will hold up on the defensive end.
"It's important to know that we're coaching to win, too," Renney told the Sun. "As much as those three kids with Ryan can help generate offence, it's also a case of what you take, but what you leave."
Everybody agrees that Nugent-Hopkins will have to become much stronger to reach his full potential. His current lack of strength is most evident on draws.
"I'm not really concerned about Ryan's ability in the face-off circle yet," said Renney. "It's a strength move, too. It's not just a skill move, and I can't get him stronger during a season. We can certainly continue to work on the art of the face-off, but it's a strength move, too, so we have to look at some other strategies as he works on his strength acquisitions over the summers. It'll come."

Amy Hennig, former writer and creative director of the Uncharted series, has joined the Visceral Games team as creative director for the studio's Star Wars project.
The announcement comes from Visceral VP Steve Papoutsis, who describes Hennig as a boon to the team. The two apparently worked together before at Crystal Dynamics, where she worked on the Legacy of Kain games. After moving to Naughty Dog, Hennig contributed to the Jax and Daxter series and helmed the Uncharted franchise.
Papoutsis spoke very highly of Hennig in his official statement, noting his respect for her and how much she enjoys Star Wars.
Amy has long been recognized as one of our industry's top visionaries, and is coming off an amazing run as the Writer and Creative Director of the Uncharted franchise. But her contributions go beyond the games she helped create at Naughty Dog and at Crystal Dynamics, where we worked together many years ago. As both a colleague and friend, I've always admired her approach to creative development – focusing on nailing down the soul of a game first, and then making sure the writing, the gameplay, the design and the art comes together to form a unified, interactive experience for the player. This fits in perfectly with what we're trying to do here at Visceral and Amy's going to help us continue in our pursuit to make the most thrilling, immersive games in the world.
Over the last few weeks, Amy and I have spent a lot of time talking about what her first project would be. There are a lot of different directions we could have gone, but I could sense that what really excited her about this opportunity (because let's face it, we weren't the only ones knocking at her door) was Star Wars. Amy's a huge fan. We happen to be making a Star Wars game. Just thinking about the possibilities made both of us even more excited about having her join the team.
Her departure from the Uncharted studio came suddenly, and there were rumors that she was essentially forced out of the company by co-directors Neil Druckman and Bruce Straley. The two men have claimed otherwise, of course.
Whatever happened at Naughty Dog, Amy Hennig is now lending her talents to Visceral, and we look forward to seeing what they produce together.

And ain't I a woman?
"Young women could now do more than read about feminist issues and discuss them in class; they could find communities of women on Twitter or Tumblr whose experiences they could relate to—or who could open up new vistas for them on what other women's lives are like. They could participate in the creation of a new feminism—one that would be a far cry from Friedan's. By 2011, the writer Flavia Dzodan was famously declaring on her blog: "My feminism will be intersectional or it will be bullshit." Her words became a rallying cry."

On Gottland
Gottland is not a novel, but that proves difficult to remember. The book, playfully subtitled Mostly True Stories from Half of Czechoslovakia, is technically a work of reportage, and its author, Mariusz Szczygieł, one of Poland's best-known journalists. Most of Gottland's tales, however, seem better suited to Soviet science fiction—or even Russian absurdism—than to actual European history. Szczygieł, aware of his essays' incredibility, alludes to it not only in Gottland's subtitle but also in a more blatant disclaimer to his readers: "From here on, most of what we know . . . should be labeled with the first sentence from Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, which goes: 'All this happened, more or less.'"
sex work: fantasies as commodities, consent, and emotional labor
"In my experience, the reminder that the sexual fantasy isn't real, that the women who perform availability aren't ACTUALLY available, that we aren't ACTUALLY clamouring to be sexualized by men, that we control when the fantasy starts and stops, and that our performance is just that, a performance that requires compensation… well, some men find that hard to swallow."

Privilege and oppression explained through math - specifically, matrices and Venn diagrams.

"... trolling wasn't the work of just a few bad apples. Instead, there were many, many people who sent us mean messages saying that they simply thought the blog shouldn't exist." Amanda Levitt of FatBodyPolitics.com writes about the role that trolling, up to and including threats of violence and doxxing, plays in maintaining privilege and furthering oppression.

The Legacy of Lynching
African American Holocaust [Warning: contains graphic material] Nearly 5,000 black Americans were lynched between 1890 and 1960. In her new book, On the Courthouse Lawn: Confronting the Legacy of Lynching in the Twenty-First Century, University of Maryland School of Law Associate Professor Sherrilyn Ifill traces the ongoing impact of these crimes. While the lynchings were devastating, Professor Ifill argues that the little-known contemporary consequences, such as the marginalization of political and economic development for blacks, are equally pernicious, and that there's still a great deal of education and reconciliation that still needs to happen.

Step back in time with this living history museum, which allows visitors to experience Southern California life during the Victorian Era. Heritage Square is a collection of eight structures, including a railroad station from Century City, a church from Pasadena, and a variety of formerly private residences from across the city—each of which were constructed during the mid-to-late 1800s. All of them were saved from demolition, lifted off their foundations and trucked to this central spot where some have been restored and others are still in process. A real treat is the guided tour led by a well-taught (and sometimes hilarious) staff member dressed in period costume.

Welcome to the Green Room page for
March to May's Chosen by you... Given By Us winner Christ the King Primary School were delighted to be the recipients of the £500 award, giving them an additional reason to celebrate in the school's 50th Anniversary Year. Headteacher Mr Doogan happily accepted the cheque on behalf of the school.
Myself and Ian from Arrowe park had a fantastic day at Grove Street Primary School Queen's 90th Birthday Celebration. The children looked fabulous in their handmade crown and Red, White & Blue clothing.
A great day was had by the 400 visitors of Port Sunlight River Park this Bank holiday during their second annual Easter event. It was an egg-travaganza filled with crafts, egg hunts, an Easter trail puzzle packed with clues and refreshments... solidly establishing this newly created park as a great place to visit. Well done Friends of Port Sunlight River Park. It was a privilege once again to join the fun.
Ian Grant and myself spent two great mornings at Poulton Lancelyn Primary with Year 2 talking about and tasting breads from around the world, paying particular attention to the varied textures and density due to different cooking methods. We then went on to produce our own bread dough with our mess free bread-in-bag activity. To find out more about our bread-in-bag recipe www.asdagoodliving.co.uk/food/recipes
Congratulations to Claire House Children's Hospice for winning the November/December Chosen by You... Given By Us (green token scheme), receiving a £200 cheque. Runners up Clatterbridge Cancer Centre and Wirral Hospice St John's received a £50 cheque. There were smiles all round.
Myself and Ian from Asda Arrowe Park shared the Change 4 Life sugar swap message in store and at local schools. We also explained how the new sugar app worked with examples of good and bad packed lunches. Many people were more than a little shocked at the hidden sugar content of items they ate daily.
It was a fantastic day at Ferries Family Group Christmas Gingerbread Event thanks to the Asda Foundation Christmas Grant. While I spent the day helping in the crèche so parents could come together with others in the community, Ian Grant & Joanne Winterton were stirring up a storm in a cloud of icing sugar and supervised the construction of some serious gingerbread masterpieces. Thankfully although I missed helping with the gingerbread fun, I did manage to snag a broken piece and it was delicious......
Crafts and Carols at Port Sunlight River Park one day. BBQ, face painting, crafts and wildlife at Dibbinsdale Nature Reserve Winter Warmer the next. It's been such a joy to see the local community supporting and enjoying these festive events.

In addition to the more than 100-coat donation, the Knights of Columbus also presented a check for $1,500 to the Idaho Food Bank's "Food BackPack for kids," program.

Rated 5 out of 5 by gailemi LOVE THIS DOG FOOD! I've been using Avoderm for over 20 years and my dogs over the years have done well with it. Never had it delivered before Chewy and I'm loving that too. August 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nutrish4Simba My fussy chihuahua eats this! I bought many dog food brands searching for something our chihuahua would eat. AvoDerm appeals to my princess's taste. If she does leave any in her dish her 70 pound brother will finish it. They also like AvoDerm's salmon flavor, but chicken seems to be the favorite. July 27, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tamale My picky small dogs love it. I just change dog food 3 times this year, my little dogs are picky eaters... To my surprise they are eating this up, and yes I mix the old with the new, and my older dog left behind the other food... I couldnt believe it. I hope this is our permanent food for while.. . May 19, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aptolar Perfect Small Bites My chihuahua and terrier mixes love this food! It is the perfect size for them, and they gobble it right up! February 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Spinner excellent treats and food Used Yummy Chummys in Alaska. Boy every dog I have ever had since think they have died and gone to heaven when they get this treat on their tongues!! They will do anything for YOU. Also the food has been eaten by a very fussy dog. Likes it and waits to see his bowl get filled again. Timely manner delivered and all was excellent. Thank you. January 5, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by HorsesDogsandKids Changed my senior dog's life I became concerned on all of the recalls and the ingredients that I was finding in the store brand foods. I had been feeding Iams for so long, but then I started to get a bad feeling about it. Just then, my yorkie terrier who is a vibrant and healthy 10 - and runs for miles behind me while I ride my horse cross country, had multiple large muscle spasms. I immediately ordered AvoDerm, and put it on automatic order. Now, my dog is happy, no spasms or issues. And bonus, he goes "potty" two to three times per day like clockwork. I have noticed that there is no foul smell either. Another bonus of all natural ingredients and lack of chemicals that you can't pronounce. September 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sunny11 He loves this food! My pup has had tummy issues sinece he was a little guy. Saw the ratings on this and figured it was worth a try. I've been mixing it with his other food to use it up and this guy's no dummy, he picks out the Avoderm and leaves the rest! Guess we have a new fan food! December 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by franW Product is Greatly Enjoyed by Small Dogs I have been using Avoderm for years and my little girl is crazy about it. She eats a small amount in the morning for breakfast and a larger amount for dinner without hesitation. The ingredients are super and she's now 14 and doing great. Continue to make my dog happy by making this product. I am very fussy about what I feed her and this does the trick. Her coat is beautiful and her digestive system works well. Keep up the good work.

In this exercise we're going to take this little collection of five rectangles here that we drew at an angle in the previous exercise, thanks to that crazy constrain axis, and we're going to take these five rectangles and we're going to clone and flip them so that we can create the other collections of rectangles that are symmetrical about the god's face at the center of this 260-day spiritual Aztec calendar known to us as the Tonalpohualli. So if you want to catch on up with me I am working inside the Time to flip.ai I document that's available to you inside the 04_Geometric_Shapes folder.
And things are starting to get a little busy here inside of this illustration so I suggest we go ahead and assign our rectangles a fill just so that we can distinguish them from everything else that's going on inside of the document. So I want you to go ahead and grab all five of these rectangles by marqueeing around them, in the way you see me marqueeing around them with the black arrow tool on screen right now. So then I'd release and then I've selected all five of these guys. If you accidentally select some other stuff, let's say you draw a bigger marquee and you end up getting these shapes selected as well, like this star right here and this circle, why then just Shift-click on them in order to turn them off and that will go ahead and deselect those items, and if you select too few items, for example you only get this many rectangles for some reason, then you can Shift-click on the other rectangles in order to select them as well. So Shift- clicking changes whether an object is selected or not, in addition to the other objects that are going on.
So we have a total of five rectangles selected at this point. I want you to fill them all with white by going up to this first option here inside of the Control palette. I want you to click the down pointing arrowhead and I want you to choose white as your fill color. That fills them all with white. Now I want you to go to the Object menu, and I want you to choose the Group command or press Control+G or Command+G. Pretty standard way of grouping objects inside of an illustration program. And that goes ahead and makes sure that all the objects are clustered together, so that if I click off the shapes and then click on them again, they all get selected with the black arrow tool.
But got a problem, this one rectangle, notice this guy is supposed to be on top of these guys. So what do I do about that? Well I'll go ahead and switch to the white arrow tool and I clicked off the shapes to deselect them by the way, so nothing's selected right now. I'll get my white arrow tool, I'll Alt-click or Option-click, remember how you can select into groups with the white arrow tool and if you Alt or Option click you'll select an entire shape at a time inside the group. And that's what I've done here and then I'm going to go ahead and right-click on the shape, and I'm going to choose Arrange and I'm going to choose Bring to Front or I can press that keyboard shortcut, Control+Shift+] Command+Shift+]on the Mac and notice that that goes ahead and brings that shape to front inside of the group. So it brings it to the front of the group not the front of the entire illustration or anything.
Although that does happen to be the case cause there's nothing in front of it, but just to the front of the group. Now switch back to your black arrow tool by pressing the V key or selecting the tool from the palette. Then click on the outer rectangle or one of the other rectangles in order to select the entire group. Now then, notice these white points, these big white points around the parameter of the outer rectangle here. Those are the handles on the bounding box, and the nice thing about this automatic bounding box is that you can drag one of these handles in order to scale the shape, and you can also, if you move your cursor slightly outside like this you get a little rotation cursor and you can go ahead and rotate the object as well, like so.
And I'm going to undo those last two modifications by pressing Control+Z or Command+Z a couple of times. I happen to hate the bounding box, even though it's so utterly convenient and it allows you to scale and rotate objects on the fly without having to switch tools. I just hate it, and I'll tell you why, because it interferes with just moving shapes around and editing them in more normal ways. So what I recommend you do, because you're working with me these days. I recommend you go up to the View menu and you choose Hide Bounding Box in order to get rid of that intrusive bounding box.
You can also press the keyboard shortcut. Control+Shift+B or Command+Shift+B on the Mac. And notice the big handles go away and you can no longer do that thing where you drag a corner handle to scale. If you drag a corner handle you're going to move to shape. But the nice thing is, you can now move the shape and like snap it to another shape in order to make sure that these corners are exactly aligned with each other. So you have access to a function that the bounding box interfered with. See and you can still get to all that scale and rotate stuff, you just have to switch tools. So this is a better way to work, if you're an expert user and I hope you aspire to be an expert, that's what I'm here for. All right anyway. Now we want to flip this guy, flip it down here, don't we? Clone and flip it.
And that's something you do by way of a tool inside Illustrator as opposed, notice that there's no options that are immediately available to us. There is this Transform option, you can go up to it, click it and then you could click on this palette menu right there and you could choose Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical or something along those lines, but the tool is your best bet. Let me show you that tool. Go over here to the Rotate Tool inside the toolbox, click and hold, choose the Reflect Tool or you can press the O key. Why O? Because O is a totally symmetrical shape. You flip O any direction, and it's still an O man, that's why. So I got the Reflect Tool. Now you can drag with this tool, there's things you can do, but for now I'm just going to tell you the easiest way to work with it.
I want you to make sure that the tool is basically at the intersection of these guides here. So position the cursor right at that intersection. Alt-click or Option-click on the Mac in order to set the center point of what will be our reflection. You can reflect the selected objects across a vertical axis, which means a horizontal flip or you can flip it across a horizontal axis, which means a vertical flip. I know that's just like, twisted, but that's Illustrator for you.
Turn on Preview is my suggestion. If you turn on the Preview checkbox then you can get a sense of what it is you're really doing. And I'm going to suggest that we start things off, well heck this is just fine. We might as well flip it across a vertical axis, which means a horizontal flip for starters. But click Copy. Don't click OK, click Copy so that we make a clone of our rectangles and then grab your black arrow tool, Shift- click in order to select the other one there, go back to the flip tool, Alt or Option-click at the intersection of those two guides again.
And this time Preview should still be on, excellent. This time select Horizontal as your axis and notice that it does a vertical flip this time. So imagine that this is the axis of the flip and these guys are pirouetting around this axis. That's what's meant by the whole flipping axis here. All right, then go ahead and click Copy. I was saying flipping because we're flipping. Anyway click the Copy button, and we now have a total of four different rectangular ornaments that we've created inside of Illustrator.
Ts that not a beautiful thing? Yes it is. We are covering up a few, you know, important items inside of this illustration, but we're going to take care of that and more in the next exercise.

Qumran caves: The discoveries of 1947-56 have provided scholars of the Bible in the age of Jesus with material for endless debate
The Jewish religion is based on a book that is surrounded, complemented and interpreted by tradition. The Hebrew Scripture includes the Law (Torah), followed by the Prophets (Neviim, the historical books and the works of the prophets), and finishing with the Writings (Ketuvim, Psalms, Wisdom books, Daniel, Ezra-Nehemiah, Chronicles).
According to biblical tradition the principal part of the Law, the Decalogue was chiselled on two stone tablets by God himself. He even re-engraved them after Moses had smashed the first set of tablets to pieces on witnessing the Jews worshipping the golden calf. The rest of the Torah, the five scrolls of Pentateuch, was spoken by God to Moses, who recorded the divine revelation in the Book of the Law, referred to later as the Law of Moses (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy). This Law was kept in the Temple before its destruction in 586 BCE. It was taken to exile in Babylonia by the priests and brought back to Jerusalem by Ezra the Scribe in the fifth century BCE. He promulgated it to the people and the Levites read it out and followed up the reading by an interpretation (Nehemiah 8:1-8).
As far as the Prophets are concerned, thanks to chapter 36 of the Book of Jeremiah, we learn details regarding the production of a prophetic book. Jeremiah, having received the divine message, dictated its words to his scribe Baruch, who wrote them down with ink on a leather scroll. The prophet presented this scroll to King Jehoiakim but the monarch disliked the message critical of Jerusalem, when it was read to him by one of his courtiers. He cut the scroll to pieces and threw them in the fireplace. Jeremiah repeated the prophecies to Baruch who prepared a new scroll.
A further important detail about the preservation of the Bible in antiquity is mentioned in the Talmud, which reports that three master copies of the Torah were deposited in the Temple for consultation in case of doubt about a reading. This implies that the ancient rabbis were aware of the existence of variants in the biblical manuscripts.
The oldest documents that include a scriptural citation are two silver amulets with minor variations of the priestly blessing from Numbers 6:24-26. They are dated from c. 600 BCE and were found in a tomb at Ketef Hinnom, southwest of Jerusalem in 1979. The earlier discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 11 caves in the region of Qumran yielded a substantial amount of Old Testament remains. The most ancient leather fragment belongs to the Book of Samuel and is dated from the middle of the third century BCE. Another manuscript of the same book originates from 100-75 BCE. The complete Isaiah scroll comes from 50-25 BCE. On the whole, the 225 Qumran biblical documents surviving as scrolls and fragments, range from the middle of the third century BCE to 68 CE when, following the Roman conquest, sectarian life and scribal activity came to an end on the Qumran site. All the books of the Old Testament with the exception of Esther are attested in the 11 caves. There are four scrolls (Leviticus, two Isaiah and Psalms) and thousands of fragments. Some of the biblical books existed at Qumran in several copies. We have 36 manuscripts of the Psalms, 35 of Deuteronomy, 23 of Genesis, 21 of Isaiah.
