Best for nostalgia - Goodwood Revival, West Sussex
This festival is devoted entirely to a period theme, with every detail faithful to that golden age of style, grace and glamour: 1948-1966. No other vintage fashion event anywhere takes place on such a vast scale and this year's festival is expecting around 134,000 visitors, the overwhelming majority of whom are suited, booted and groomed from the tips of their "femme fatale" red fingernails to their stilettoed toes, proving that the Revival is far more than a series of races for old cars.

Best for opera lovers - The Glyndebourne Festival, East Sussex
The Glyndebourne Opera Festival has been held annually at an English country house near Lewes since 1934. The renovated theatre, which seats 1,200, opened in 1994. The Festival has been particularly celebrated for its productions of Mozart operas. A long interval allows operagoers the opportunity for picnic dinners on the extensive lawns or in one of the restaurants in the grounds.
The 2011 Festival opened with a new production of Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg. Other productions include a new production of Handel's Rinaldo and revivals of Mozart's Don Giovanni and Britten's The Turn Of The Screw.
Date: 21 May–28 August
Cost: Tickets from £10 (standing) to £250

Best literary festival for music lovers - The BBC Proms, London
The BBC Proms comes alive not only through music, but also through words. Key historians, novelists, poets and writers explore cultural themes behind this year's music at pre-concert events, through subjects ranging from Scandinavian crime writing to humour in literature. This year's highlights include Kate Mosse discussing French literary classics (18 July); Peggy Reynolds on the role of the cello in literature (20 July); Mark Ravenhill on the Faust myth that has inspired so many composers (26 July); and Sir Ronald Harwood and Neil Brand on music in film (12 August). New for 2011 is the Proms Poetry competition, inviting verse from children and adults that takes inspiration from a piece of music performed during the season.
Date: 15 July–10 September
Cost: Free

Swiss Viollier to Launch Colorectal Cancer Blood Test in Europe
Epigenomics' share price shot up 19% on the announcement that Swiss Viollier will be offering a blood test for colorectal cancer based on Epigenomics' mSEPT9 biomarker. The test, reportedly representing the first ever blood test for colorectal cancer in Europe, will be launched on July.
Epigenomics expects other clinical laboratories in Europe to introduce mSEPT9 testing in due course. The company is also nonexclusively licensing the mSEPT9 biomarker for the development of IVD blood tests. The first IVD test kit for mSEPT9 is expected launch in Europe by the end of this year. In the U.S., Quest Diagnostics is currently developing a laboratory-based mSEPT9 test and will probably be the first company to offer a lab-based colorectal cancer blood test.
Colorectal cancer is the most frequent gastrointestinal tumor and second in terms of cancer mortality every year in the U.S. and Europe, Epigenomics claims. Colorectal cancer screening programs, however, involving colonoscopy and/or fecal occult blood testing have failed to significantly improve the early detection of colorectal cancer largely because of a lack of patient compliance. In contrast, a blood test is expected to be much more readily acceptable and less time consuming.

Farm Together Now
A book event at 2640 about urban farming, with a mention of Baltimore's own Participation Park?!
See you all next Wednesday at 2640.
Wednesday Jan 5, 7PM : Daniel Tucker presents Farm Together Now
Farm Together Now meets with people across the country who are challenging the conventions of industrialized farming and exclusive green economies.
This part-travelogue, part-oral history, part-creative exploration of food politics will introduce readers to twenty groups working in agriculture and sustainable food production in the U.S. Throughout 2009 the authors visited twenty farms from coast to coast, talking to farmers about their engagement in sustainable food production, public policy and community organizing efforts.
Interviews and photo essays with each farm/garden/project illustrate the inspiring histories, unique characters and everyday struggles of life on these farms. It is through sharing diverse voices from the contemporary farm that this book will inspire and cultivate a new wave of agrarians.
Half of the author's profits will be put into a fund to encourage like-minded documentary projects.
Here's the book trailer:
Winter Spice
Hello, dear readers! I hope everyone has been having a wonderful holiday season so far.
What goes on here at BaltimoreDIY in the winter months? If the last week has been any indication, the answer is spice, spice, spice.
There's no need to drop $5 per tiny jar at the supermarket. Punjab Market in Waverly sells huge bags of all the spices you'll need for a fraction of the cost. Whether I'm adding fennel and coriander to a pot of beans, endlessly crushing black pepper, or decorating homemade pickles with whole mustard seeds, my spices come from Punjab.
Pictured above is a bulk chai tea mix I made myself. Here's a list of the ingredients:
- Black peppercorns
- Whole coriander seeds
- Cinnamon sticks
- Black cardamom pods
Boil the seeds in a pot for 2-3 minutes, then let steep for another ten. Your house will smell divine! Strain and drink plain, or add a little condensed milk to sweeten.
Gingerbread cookies were another must-make item this winter. I came across a recipe for "Soft Ginger-Molasses Cookies" on the King Arthur Flour website that reaffirmed my love for that great company.
To tell you the truth, I was thinking about these cookies as far back as July, when Mill Valley was selling plums for $2 a pint. I canned up a bunch of Ginger-Plum jam with future dreams of thumbprint cookies dancing in my head.
A photo of the Gingerbread-Plum Cookies:
In addition to molasses, the recipe called for a homemade ginger syrup. The recipe called for boiling four cups of chopped ginger, but that was a little pricey for me so I only made a quarter of that amount. The syrup makes an amazing addition to tea as well!
The pre-baked cookies after they have been rolled in natural sugar and decorated with a dollop of jam:
Also, in case anyone is curious about the fate of our venison the most recent recipe was a risotto with peas, with the venison stock as a base. The chai spice tea was the beverage, of course!
What are some of your favorite ways to spice up the winter?

December 2010 Weekend Update
A peek at what the Remington garden is looking like at this time of the year. I think our hose must have frozen and exploded at some point, because everything around the water faucet was covered in icicles. Darn.
One of the garden plot owners mulched with straw. I think they may have planted onions or garlic. I was not so proactive and didn't mulch. I think it just means that the ground will stay cool a bit longer in spring, but I'm wondering if I get some row covers, the ground may heat up more quickly.
Speaking of frozen ground, I grabbed the last three carrots out of the soil. Next year maybe I will grow lots more carrots and start a root cellar! Add that on to the list of projects I want to do.
Remember just a few weeks ago when I posted a few photos of indoor plant propagation? We've got roots! I planted the above plant in soil, and you can see the beginnings of the spider plant roots below. So easy!
Also: VENISON STOCK.
I roasted the bones for 40 minutes at 400 degrees to get them nice and browned.
Then I added about three small onions, three small carrots, two bay leaves, and a handful of black peppercorns. Many of the recipes I read recommend that you add the vegetables and salt during the last hour or so of cooking, not before.
At the end of the cooking time, I also added Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and some sea salt. Can I get some props for the fact that I set my alarm to strain and cool the stock at 1 a.m.?
Everything is now cooling out on the back porch. The deer fat congealed by morning and needs to be strained off. It's a very waxy texture and isn't much good for anything. But the stock sure looks great!
I'm hoping to make some French onion soup with the stock and sourdough croutons as part of a Winter Solstice dinner. Some nettle tea as a beverage and ginger cookies with plum jam are also potentials for the menu.
Anyone have any exciting lunar eclipse or solstice plans?

Mapping Urban Green Spaces with GPS
I have to admit, my recent acquisition of a Droid phone has made me feel a little frivolous. Happily, Baltimore Green Space organized a program that put my new technology to good use.
Last Saturday my friend Geoff Stack and I went on a treasure hunt of sorts around West Baltimore, taking photos of various green sites and mapping them with GPS. Thanks to Geoff for being such a great team partner!
In case you didn't already know, Baltimore City has lots of abandoned spaces. The city wants to begin selling off those unused spaces. Baltimore Green Space is trying to map all of the "abandoned" spaces that are currently being used as a green space. Community gardens, rain gardens, horseshoe pits, open parks, container planters, and more all qualify.
The city is also interested in protecting these community spaces, since they often provide community stability (I know that the Remington garden has been a fabulous improvement over the empty lot it replaced.) But they just don't have the people-power to make a record of what's going on in each empty lot. So it's up to Baltimore's citizens to track how the empty lots are being used.
Here I am at one of the parks off Route 40:
Geoff and I first went to the Thomas Jefferson Elementary School and took photos of various bird, butterfly, and rain gardens.
They had a pretty sweet playground!
(This pole was actually flexible and waved up and down as you walked across- whoa! Slippery iron. It's nice to see that playgrounds aren't too milquetoast these days!)
At the next park, there was a couple sitting down on one of the benches, even though it was pretty chilly outside. Does anyone know what these weird fruits are?
High tunnels and chickens!
Then we went to a strip of plants that had been put in a grassy strip in a residential community. Geoff thought that it ran alongside an area where a small rail line used to be. Sigh. Trains are another BaltimoreDIY post altogether... Anyway, it was nice to see some botanical diversity added to this wooded area.
This mural in the Irvington neighborhood of West Baltimore was really nice. It looked like the garden was no longer in use, but the mural and sign still kept the space alive.
Around the corner we found a somewhat large community garden in an empty lot. The greens aren't looking so happy since it's past first frost. But mission accomplished on our part for finding a new green space to preserve!
Thanks, technology!
And don't forget, you can recycle your cell phone to re-use all of its valuable metals instead of just throwing it away (or sending it to China for someone to strip it of the metals and then burn the rest.) I noticed yesterday that the Target in Mondawmin Mall has a bin in the front of the store for used cell phones and MP3 players. Yay!
Geoff even took me back into the city with a small tour past a forgotten Crab Alley near Pratt and Monroe St. I had never even heard of it before, and although I wouldn't stroll around by myself, I was really glad I got a peek at a forgotten destination point of Baltimore.
I know it's been quiet on BaltimoreDIY lately, I hope this photo and link packed post makes up for it!
Stay warm, everyone.

Milk & Honey
Today I decided to use some of my Hanukkah money to treat myself to lunch at Baltimore's newest good-foods cafe, Milk & Honey.
Yum! If I was hosting a holiday get-together, Milk & Honey would be a great place to start. The cheese display had me dreaming of hosting a raclette party, with creamy cheese melted and scraped onto an assortment of meat, potatoes, and other veggies. Good thing they had potatoes and cured meats in the deli!
There are deli sandwiches and a coffee bar too.I was tempted to order the panini with apple, manchego cheese, and fig spread but damn if that DIY bug in my brain didn't say, "Hey, don't you have all those ingredients at home?" Sigh. Sometimes my make-it-yourself obsession makes me do weird things. That sandwich does sound awesome though.
Instead I purchased a few fancy items that I can't make and normally wouldn't buy myself. I've never been to another market in Baltimore that sells homemade candies- there were some caramels at the register that were calling my name. With just enough saltiness to cut through the buttery sweetness, it was a perfect treat for the cold walk back to work.
|The yummy caramel and a super bangin' Humboldt Fog cheese that was both creamy and crumbly, with some bleu cheese flavor mixed in. Doesn't that cafe look nice!
Other Baltimore goods included prepared deli foods from Blacksauce Kitchen, makers of one of the biggest, fluffiest, flakiest biscuits I've ever had the honor of inhaling one morning at the Waverly Farmer's Market. Plus Taharka Bros. ice cream was in the freezer! With flavors like Honey Graham and Salted Caramel, I had to hold back from buying an entire pint for lunch. I'll be back once I have time to share with friends!
Urbanite posted an article if you want to read more about Milk & Honey.

Baltimore Foodmakers Venison Workshop
Here is a quick video of Saturday's venison workshop!
It was a little chilly outside, but there was warm cider, a warm bucket of water for washing the blood off our hands, and lots of friends. Chicken-Man and I even met someone with experience tanning deer hides who happily had a fleshing knife in his truck that he lent us to use on the hide hanging out in the cold weather on our back porch. Thanks, friend.
It was fun hanging out with everyone and sharing all parts of the deer. Everyone who wanted got hands on experience with a knife, and everything from the deer skull to the ribs got taken by someone (even if it was just the fatty bits and ribs that someone wanted to feed to the wild foxes on their property, or the skull for making a flower pot.)
DC-based forager Paula Smith was a force of nature who is clearly experienced in processing wild game. She talked about her personal decision to not eating supermarket meat because of the conditions in which they are raised and processed. You can hear some of her thoughts in the clip above.
In the video she talks about how people eat meat without ever really thinking about what's in those little plastic packages. The audio is a little rough because of the wind, but she is explaining how meat becomes more tender and flavorful after it is hung for at least a week.
When you hang meat, it loses water weight due to evaporation. Since grocery stores sell meat by weight, that means they are losing money, which is why some meats have "water-added" on the packaging. She also said that animals are sometimes injected with a chemical before slaughtering to tenderize the meat, instead of going through the time-consuming dry aging process.
In any case, the workshop was a lot of fun. And it looks like the venison gods had more gifts to give, because as we were leaving the workshop we saw a deer that had been struck by the side of the road. The foodmakers didn't let that go to waste of course, and the deer wasn't left to rot.
A few more photos of the workshop:
Everyone huddling up outside:
Elisa getting very hands-on!

Early December Projects: Photos!
Hi Everyone!
Thought I would post about various BaltimoreDIY projects that went down this weekend. I've got a short video and a lot of photos of Saturday's venison workshop to be posted later, but for now here is a fun update post about some of the smaller day-to-day projects.
Kneading sourdough bread for Saturday's potluck and morning breakfasts:
Breadmaking is one of those projects that seems like a pain at first, but once it becomes incorporated into your daily schedule, it's relatively easy to maintain.
For daily maintenance, usually I feed the sourdough starter in the morning as I make breakfast. Baking a loaf does require some forethought, but if you mix up a big batch of dough it will keep in the fridge for about a week which cuts down on a lot of the prep time. King Arthur Flour is the best resource if you want to know more!
The finished bread is at the top of the page. Next time I'll remember to slash the loaves so they rise more.
Chickens making quick work of some old apples.
Finally got a photo of one of the Araucanas.
Eggs. Miso paste + rice + greens + egg = one of my favorite cold weather soups of all time. I will eat it for breakfast!
And I realized that I haven't posted a photo of the rabbits on BaltimoreDIY!
I haven't quite decided my position on the rabbits yet. These are American Chinchilla rabbits, and I am excited to own a heritage breed of an animal. Also, rabbit meat is one of the healthiest and most efficient types of meat you can raise. Plus, rabbit poop makes some amazing compost.
But as Pluck and Feather writes, raising backyard livestock isn't for the faint of heart. You have to be o.k. with getting them to mate, raising the kits, and then eating them.
Having grown up vegetarian, I don't feel that meat is so important for my diet. Not so important that I need to eat rabbit meat. But on the other hand, many cultures eat rabbit, and I like the idea of raising meat for food security purposes. For now the rabbits are not mating, so I don't need to make that moral decision. Any input from other homesteaders on this issue?
Right now the rabbits are just big fluffy compost machines. Here is Ethel looking nervous because I'm looming with a camera:
I finally got a somewhat cheerier shot of Frank:
Chicken Man and I attempted to get the rabbits to mate on Saturday, but Ethel still needs more coaxing. It was kind of sweet seeing Frank try to nibble on her ears though.
Now that it's too cold to garden, I do have a small indoor plant project. Our neighbors have a lovely assortment of various house plants, and many of those are incredibly easy to propagate.
Just snip off a piece several inches long, strip off most of the leaves except at the top, and place in a glass of water. Change the water every few days or so. Roots will eventually sprout, and then you can put in a pot of soil!
You can see my earlier Aloe Propagation post for more information. Do friends or family have lots of potted plants for seasonal decorations or gifts? Once the plants die, hang on to the potting soil for projects like this. Worm compost comes in handy too. Don't throw away potting soil!
After the deer butchering workshop on Saturday, I helped out at 2640 for Holiday Heap. So many great crafts!
Funds from the raffle basket pictured above went to Heart's Place, the shelter located at 2640.
On Saturday night, Chicken Man slow cooked his venison ribs.
They slow-cooked in the oven for about 15 hours or so at 200 degrees. We threw in onions, potatoes, carrots, green peppers and jalapenos (the last three ingredients were homegrown). Plus Chicken Man's dark spicy beer came in handy again as a wonderful marinade, mixed with a cup of apple cider vinegar.
The finished ribs:
So tender! I've never had saurbraten but it smelled like what I think that would taste like. I've got a small snack of it for lunch today, along with a butternut squash pie from the freezer.
Well, I think that's enough of a photo blast for now. Stay tuned for a post about the deer workshop.And I'd love to hear from you all what sorts of DIY projects you are up to at this time of year!

Skiers and snowboarders will be able to hit the slopes a little early this season.
Whistler Mountain has announced it's opening day for November 23rd, one day ahead of schedule.
Whistler Blackcomb spokesperson Chris Mcleod says cooler temperatures are to blame for a head start to the season.
"There's a lot of excitement out there from skiers and riders ready to get out there and we do our best every year to get things going as early as possible, looking at the weather forecast and seeing kind of the snow in the forecast, we had the opportunity."
Mcleod adds there's a celebration planned.
"The night before opening day, on Tuesday evening, we're gonna have a little party in the village with some live music and some food to kind of kick off the season."
And while mother nature was kind enough to keep temperatures cool, Mcleod reminds visitors it's not quite a 'Winter Wonderland' just yet.
"Our snow making team still has work to do down low, so it's definitely going to be very early season conditions."
The first gondola up Whistler Mountain takes off at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The Birds
Still behind by one, with about half a month to go. I do find it interesting that some people see a difference between the 'quality' of these that I simply don't see...
The Birds
Such noise outside my window
A Babel filled with chirps
or is it terrorist chatter
or cries of 'worms below'
or strategic plans to usurp
the Cardinals at the feeder
They're beautiful or plain
some strange evolution
genders marked for battle
or blending in within the grain
or easy mate selection
or gilded cage to rattle
It's hard to picture dinosaur
covered all in feather
was it just some food source fail
or some huge meteor
or dramatic shift in weather
that changed their girth and scale
It doesn't really seem to matter
I see it in their eyes
their desire to return
To feast! To gorge! To grow much fatter!
To evolve to former size
and watch the humans learn
To sing in cages
and beg for scraps
and fly south for the winter
insects as wages
no need for maps
ever searching just for dinner

AMC's The Walking Dead Season 6 finale left an unbelievable sour taste in many fans' mouths as they now have to wait until The Walking Dead Season 7 premiere episode to find out who died by Negan's bat "Lucy". Robert Kirkman officially addressed The Walking Dead fans in the new issue of The Walking Dead comic book "Letter Hacks" section. He apologises for the cliffhanger and continues to say that the premiere episode will be AWESOME!
Robert Kirkman explains:
Okay, the season 6 finale has certainly caused a fervor online. EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT. Some people love it. Some people are indifferent. Some people HATE it. We weren't trying to game the audience, we weren't trying to FORCE you to come back for season 7…. we hope you were always planning on doing that and still plan on doing that.
We did want you talk. And talk you are.
The speculation, the frustration, the possibilities, the theories… honestly, in my mind… that stuff is FUN. I honestly feel like that's something fun for the fans to do during the break. Was it Spencer? Could it have been Morgan? What about Carol? Did Negan kill Jesus?! (Note, none of them were there… I'm not giving ANYTHING away.) I know people are angry over this, but that wasn't our intent. The idea was that after 6 seasons of the show, we wanted to stay on your mind and give you somethin to talk about.
And think of it this way… a character you love and are going to miss is DEAD, and we gave you a few extra months to hope, to not grieve. Is there uncertainty? Yes. But that was kind of the idea.
But seriously. Everyone on TWD team wanted to do something cool. We wanted to do something different and we did it to change things up, get people excited and keep this show on your mind.
For some of you, that effort backfired and you're angry. And for that I'm sorry. The only thing I can PROMISE you is that the season 7 premiere is going to be awesome. And when viewed as a two-part episode (the same way EVERY SEASON of Star Trek: The Next Generation ended with the first half of a two-part episode that was a cliffhanger…), it's going to be a pretty awesome ride. And every minute of the season 6 finale was important and was setting something up that you probably won't see coming.
It's a cool episode… and remember… there's a LOT more for Negan to do. Be afraid… be very afraid. And excited!

"Damn Michelle! Would you shut up?"
"Like, he's, like, so hot! Yummy!"
"If I get the knife and place it right the-"
I walked down the sidewalk, around prim and proper girls, business men and people who were almost like me, except they had a roof over their heads. The thoughts bombarded my mind, I couldn't stand it. I shut my eyes as I walked, down the street, navigating through people's minds.
"Whoops!" I said out loud as I accidentaly tried to navigate through some perverts day dream. "Ew," I shuddered. Finally, the super market. I walked in smelling the fresh scent of apples and oranges. I walked to the back of the store, to the liquor cabinetl. I grabbed some Smirnoff Ice and went to the deli and grabbed a sandwich. That'd hold me over for a day or so. I payed with the lady's money from the day before.
Leaving the shop, I dropped my sandwich and it flew open. Half the sandwich spread across the ground, all over the pavement.
"Shit!" I yelled. I picked up the half that was spread over the pavement. I looked at the bottom and shoved it back in the container. "Just fantastic!"
I looked up at the street and saw something green in the sewer. I moved closer to it and reached out to pick it up.
"No fucking way!" I exclaimed. It was a $100 bill! 100 bucks! This was the jackpot! I looked up to see if someone had dropped it, not that I'd return it, but I just wanted to make sure nobody would claim it.
I slipped it into my ack pocket and made off much happier than I'd been 10 seconds before hand.

The major problem here is with appointment. We had weekly checkup with a senior Gynaec there. The doctor is good no doubt. But EVERY TIME we had to wait a minimum of 1.5 hours even after appointment. It was a very horrible experience. The management need to find ways to improve this as it is a big pain for the patients. Looks like they are trying to take too much advantage of the word "Patient" (Patience).

For years, due to overstretched funds and overflowing kennels, rescuers have often had to choose which one to help. Seniors have waited long and silently for help to come. Too many passed over. There are certainly not enough homes to go around and not enough funds to board these homeless dogs. So what do we do? How can we allow them to die in a shelter just because they have grown older?
We formed Akita-S.O.S. to offer some solutions to the problem. S.O.S. is a small group of seasoned rescuers ready to transition away from physical rescue but still satisfy their need to assist the breed they love. The S.O.S. volunteers are answering the call within their hearts to save our senior Akitas in need!
No longer will rescue personnel have to walk away from a silver-faced Akita whose teeth are worn, who is a tad stiff, who needs a hug—these Akitas can remain in their homes. Most people would never part with their dogs if they had some help keeping them during desperate times. These dogs have paid their dues, we senior rescue folks have paid our dues, and now we are back to help the seniors.
Our veteran rescue volunteers have worked the shelters for decades. Combined, our years of experience earn us entry into the SENIOR CENTURION CLUB!! We are also a little tired, a little old to be out there as much as we have in years past—you could say we are also "seniors!" Having spent so many years rescuing, rehabilitating, caring for, and re-homing young Akitas, we get exhausted just thinking about it! We all have had the same dream of retiring from rescue with the old, mature, calm senior Akitas. We do not want to warehouse these old dogs—what a terrible thought!—we just want them to receive the love and affection they have given us so freely for years.

A Biography of Friendship
Hardback 428pp
9780300178753   Product Code: 21158
'No, no, sir, that will not do. You are good-natured but not good-humoured. You are irascible.' The friendship between the great lexicographer and his pleasure-loving Scottish biographer is one of the most celebrated in literary history. Drawing on everything they wrote to and about each other, this study charts the warm, complex and often competitive relationship of this oddly matched pair, from their first meeting in 1763 to the publication of Boswell's Life of Johnson in 1791.

The French government looks poised to extend emergency powers in the country, despite criticism from the UN that to do so would constitute "excessive" controls on human rights.
The Prime Minister, Mauel Valls, said that the state of emergency introduced in the aftermath of November's Paris attacks would be keep until a "total and global war" against Isis was complete.
Emergency measures were put in place on 13 November, the evening of the Paris attacks in which 130 people were killed.
They were initially tabled to last 12 days, however parliament subsequently extended the time period to last until 26 February amid security concerns.
Claude Bartolone, President of the National Assembly, told local media following a meeting with French premier Francois Hollande that he understands parliament will "very likely" be asked to extend the powers, The Local reports.
This week, the UN warned that the measures constituted "excessive and disproportionate restrictions" on fundamental human rights.
A joint statement issued by special rapporteurs on freedom of expression, opinion, assembly and privacy, warned: "Ensuring adequate protection against abuse in the use of exceptional measures and surveillance measures in the context of the fight against terrorism is an international obligation of the French state.

"While exceptional measures may be required under exceptional circumstances, this does not relieve the authorities from demonstrating that these are applied solely for the purposes for which they were prescribed, and are directly related to the specific objective that inspired them," they said.
The laws give authorities the power to place under house arrest anyone deemed to be a security risk, dissolve groups which are deemed to be a threat to public order, conduct searches without warrants, copy data and block any websites which are assessed as "encouraging" terrorism.
The UN sad that the emergency laws have been used to put environmental activists under arrest and described the alleged arrests as not meeting "the fundamental principles of necessity and proportionality."
130 people were killed and 368 people were injured in the attacks in the French capital on 13 November.
Isis has claimed responsibility for the attacks, citing French airstrikes in Syria and Iraq as provocation.
Under French law, the Assembly must vote on whether to extend or end the emergency measures.
According to France 24: "The proposal seems to have unanimous support across the political spectrum."
In a statement released yesterday, a spokesperson for President Hollande said: "The executive has not made its decision but will take it in the coming days."

Graham G Glynn: Higher Nat Dip (Distn); Dip CBT; Dip Psychospiritual couns.
01305 816371 / 0753 967 2822
About me
Hello - my name is Graham and I have had many years of counselling and relational life-coaching experience helping people to successfully overcome emotional issues, relationship difficulties and family problems; I am a very down-to-earth person with a non-judgemental philosophy and my counselling values include confidentiality, empathy, compassion and total honesty. I am able to offer a great deal more than ordinary counselling because I have a life-times experience of working with all kinds of issues and in many varied and challenging personal and professional situations. In counselling and relational life-coaching I offer a safe space where emotional and relational issues can be shared, explored, worked through and resolved - no matter how minor or major they may be.
The main areas that I work with are problems within relationships, personal issues (including anxiety, depression, lack of purpose, anger, shame, low self-esteem, perfectionism, bi-polar, confused spiritual values) - and behaviour issues (including self-harming, addictions, abuse, aggression, promiscuity and co-dependency).
Counselling and relational life-coaching help us to understand and control our thoughts, feelings and behaviour patterns enabling us to achieve a more harmonious emotional balance both within ourselves and in our relationships with others; to further assist with this understanding I supply illustrated 'handouts' which explain the processes that we are working with as we go along safely 'step-by-step'. Many clients have said that they have found these explanatory handouts to be especially helpful, not only during counselling, but also as a source of reference after they have left.
My counselling model is integrative/psychosynthesis (also known as 'psychospiritual') - a model which is entirely non-religious but goes beyond other forms of counselling in that it recognizes that we each possess a 'higher' spiritual presence which, when integrated with our emotional, mental and physical faculties, brings us a much greater degree of confidence, inner-strength, happiness and well-being. The model draws upon a wide variety of counselling perspectives ranging from the cognitive to the esoteric and this enables us to adopt the most appropriate and effective ways of working together.
Like so many children, I was brought up to suppress my feelings and found emotions and relationships very difficult; however, thanks to counselling training and many years of working through my own personal challenges, I learned how to work positively with my thoughts, feelings and actions. For the last 25 years I have enjoyed a successful career, a wonderfully happy second marriage and an exciting sense of life-purpose and it is no exaggeration to say that an understanding of counselling and psychotherapy has transformed my life as well as the lives of many of the people with whom I have had the privilege to work - I hope that I can share this success with you as well.
Below I have included a few of the comments and testimonials I have received from counselling clients who have been kind enough to write to me about their counselling experience:
Meeting you was a life changing experience for me. I so needed to be looked after by someone I could trust implicitly and who I could connect with. It was very easy to relax and trust in your company and I learned more than I could ever have imagined. Thank you for offering me that space and sticking with me through it all. I will forever be in your debt. Graham, you have very special qualities as a counsellor and a wealth of knowledge to draw on. When I'm qualified I will lead by your example. I think you're wonderful. You have opened my eyes to a beautiful world! Miss J. M.
I wanted to say a huge thank you for all the work you have done with me over the past few months. The path you have guided me along has not always been easy, but its one I feel privileged and blessed to tread. I feel empowered to continue with my journey and I have a hunch that what lies ahead is going to be truly magical. The wisdom and intuition you have shared with me will always have a special place in my heart. Mrs D. G.
When I found Graham I was looking for someone who would be able to work with me in a constructive and productive way, who could also have a gentle and caring edge. I wanted to be able to make progress and have help and guidance to ease away a very old life pattern that just seemed to be getting in the way more and more. Graham immediately seemed to tune into my wavelength, was able to really empower me to find the answers I needed and know what to do with them. He was the perfect person for me to work with because he is both spiritual yet very grounded and down to earth. I loved my sessions and am very pleased to say that he enabled me to take the changes I needed to make very quickly, and life is much better for it! Thank you Graham for your care and attention. Mrs L.C.
I just wanted to let you know what a huge difference you have made to my life and my way of thinking I really appreciate all the help you have given me to help myself. Its such a relief not to spend my time feeling anxious and doubting myself and to understand why other people behave in the way they do. I will never forget all that you have taught me and will try my best to pass the knowledge onto my son.
Mrs S. B.
I was cautious at first about going through the counselling process as I had a previous bad experience with a psychotherapist, but I have since felt that choosing you was one of the best decisions I have made. …...prior to my counselling sessions, I was suffering with extremely low self esteem, and a fear of rejection which was ruling my life. Since I started the counselling sessions I gained enough confidence and self esteem to make two trips to India entirely on my own. This is something I would not have even contemplated I was capable of doing before my sessions.From the beginning, I felt very comfortable with Graham's counselling techniques as he always let me move forward at a pace I was comfortable with, and I have only come out of my comfort zone when I felt ready, and with Graham's support and guidance. He never made me feel under any pressure, or forced his opinions on me as to what course of action I should take …..I have a particularly sensitive nature, and Graham's empathic approach has helped me to be able to live with this more easily. He has also opened my eyes to a spiritual side of my nature that I was not aware of before. I have benefited so much from my counselling sessions that I have now started a Level 2 Counselling Skills course with the ambition of becoming a counsellor so that others may benefit from counselling in the same way that I did …...an extremely competent counsellor with a natural ability to help others and achieve long term results.Mrs S. G.

Training, qualifications & experience
My first experience in counselling was as a Senior College Welfare Officer in which role student counselling played a very significant part - upon leaving this role I as given the following testimonial:
"During his 13 years with us Graham continued to impress all those with whom he worked and became well respected by students and staff alike. Reputations are not easily won but Graham's was deserved. He displayed total professionalism whether lecturing or counselling. Among his attributes I would list his competence in all he undertakes, his communication flair, dedication, loyalty and initiative. We are poorer for his departure, his enthusiasm and his gifts." Dr. J. B
Later, in 1997 I broadened my experience by taking a course with the Dorset Drugs and Alcohol Advisory Service and since 2003 I have been counselling in private practice. The most common issues with which I have worked include relationships (romantic and professional), low self-esteem, self-criticism, guilt, depression, people pleasing, perfectionism, anxiety and angry or reactional behaviour; also common are problems associated with lack of life purpose, spiritual identity and a weak sense of self.

T-Wolves may go to Towns with top pick in NBA Draft
By Larry Fine
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Minnesota Timberwolves are expected make versatile big man Karl-Anthony Towns of Kentucky the top pick in Thursday's NBA Draft where a deep pool of U.S. college and international talent are up for grabs.
Towns, who can play power forward or center at 6-foot-11, can shoot from the outside, score inside and is a superior defender -- ready made for the NBA wars.
The Los Angeles Lakers hold the second pick among the 30 NBA teams while the Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks and Orlando Magic round out the top five.
Big men might dominate the early picks as Duke center Jahlil Okafor and Latvian power forward Kristaps Porzingis of the Spanish league, rising up many experts' draft lists, figure to go high in the two-round draft at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Okafor is seen as the draft's most polished low post scorer, but needs to improve on defense, while Porzingis is an outside shooter with the ability to protect the rim but may need to bulk up for the rigors of the NBA game.
The crop of guards features D'Angelo Russell of Ohio State, Emmanuel Mudiay, who played in China last year while awaiting his NBA eligibility, and Croatia shooting guard Mario Hezonja.
Justise Winslow, a 6-6 forward from U.S. college champions Duke, is also highly regarded.
Teams rate a prospective player's potential against their own needs in making a pick, leaving question marks about how the first round will unfold. Continued...

Astros' prospect Alex Bregman excels at Triple A
Only one rung in the ladder remains for Astros' top prospect Alex Bregman to climb.
Their top pick last season, his two weeks with the Astros Triple A team in Fresno has been fantastic.
One thing that Bregman has said that's helped him as a professional is focusing on where he is, not where he might be going.
"That's one of the big things, I've had told to me," Bregman said. "Keep your head where your feet are. Don't let your head leave Fresno if you're in Fresno."
And what have the Astros told Bregman about their thinking?
"They told me to keep doing you and keep staying within yourself," Bregman said. "They said keep trying to get better and good things will happen."
With a top prospect who's excelled at every level, dropping the word "special" on Bregman is something his manager and teammates are unafraid to do.
"He's very special. I had Carlos Correa for 100 at-bats. He's just like that," Grizzlies manager Tony DeFrancesco said.
"When you're drafted No. 2 overall, that's what you get," Grizzlies teammate Tony Kemp said.

Again, this morning, the determined child mentioned an extra trip to the toilet and a slight belly rumble. Pah! I AM MOTHER, HEAR ME ROAR!!! I zipped up his lunch bag, made sure that son #1 had his lunch money, threw my coat on, defrosted the car and made the usual tribal call of GETYOURARSEINTHECARNOW-ITSTIMETOGO.... I stopped at the shop on the way for milk for work and booted him out of the car at the school gates, slowing down to an almost-stop.
*Ring-Ring, Ring-Ring*
It's my husband on the phone:
"Hello love. The school have phoned. Jake has been sick everywhere so I've to go and pick him up. Oh, and by the way, my stomach has been a little off too. See you at half-five..."
Um... ok. Two family members down, two to go. Oh joy!
And you know that I'm going to be greeted with a grumpy "I told you I was ill" when I get home, don't you?

Ripoff Report
Catalog FavoritesPO Box 3335 Chelmsford, Massachusetts United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I tried to order some sale shoes and cute little romper from the outlet sales department of Catalog Favorites.
The items showed up in the shopping basket with their sale prices 29.95 and 8.99, instead of 59.95 and 16.99.
When I continued to the final page, I found that the prices had reverted to their regular prices.
When I contacted the company to describe the problem, they let me know that they would credit me the sale price, but I told them that wasn't the problem ...that they were ripping off old ladies like me and they should change the website.
They did not.
