Encouraging people to commit to social justice, human dignity, equality, civic participation and peace-building is the way to create good citizens, says the religion and society think-tank Ekklesia, not attempts to impose symbols of state allegiance and inflated rhetoric about 'national pride'.
The latest address by the Archbishop of Canterbury to the Church of England's General Synod has confirmed the move toward a 'multi-faith settlement' for religion in terms of law and governance in the UK, the religion and society think-tank Ekklesia says.
The Christian think tank Ekklesia has renewed its call for the repeal of the UK's archaic blasphemy laws. An amendment to abolish the offences of blasphemy and blasphemous libel has been tabled by Evan Harris MP to the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill, and the issue is drawing support from people of all faiths and none.
The Christian think tank Ekklesia has renewed its call for the repeal of the UK's archaic blasphemy law, in the wake of an attempt by an individual to seek judicial review in the High Court to bring private prosecution against the BBC for broadcasting 'Jerry Springer - The Opera'.
It is time that the Church of England faced up to the widespread public concern surrounding church schools and stopped trying to pretend that fear about Church schools comes only from a vociferous anti-religious minority.
The think-tank Ekklesia, which examines religion in public life, says that the controversial appointment of the head of the Evangelical Alliance UK to the new Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is "a historic opportunity for evangelicals to shift toward full acceptance of the equalities agenda."
In June 2007 the Christian think-tank Ekklesia and the British Humanist Association wrote to the new Schools, Children and Families minister, Ed Balls MP, urging him to make progress on combating creationism in British schools. The government has subsequently issued its promised guidelines.

The patron saint of the English should be rebranded and St George's Day should become a national day of dissent, a religious think-tank is proposing.
Christian claims of discrimination are negative, fail to put across the gospel message of equality, and are based on mixed and questionable evidence, says Ekklesia

I currently live in MN and the winters are very cold. in the morning when starting my vehicle the rpm jumps up to 2000 then will keep rising. I have to let it warm up for a few minutes like this till I can shut it off and restart the car and the rpm's go back to normal. can anyone help me with this problem ?**the check engine light is on and has been before this problem has started
first thing is to check the codes stored in the computer.. it sees a problem..next is to examine the live data stream with the scan tool.look at the Throttle position sensor voltage...look at the IAC counts.. i am running thru my head and i don't recall these are always displayed.. you may end up just swapping out the idle air control motor for a new one.. its just two screws.. you will also want to look at the ECT.. Engine coolant temp sensor.. perhaps even replace it.. what .. why.. when you turn the key off.. the computer backs the Idle air control valve to somewhere around 120 counts ... this is 120 steps from CLOSED.. this is cold start position.. so the engine goes directly to fast idle...as soon as it starts the computer starts commanding the idle air closed.. this brings the idle speed down..please.. if your scan tool in live data mode displays IAC... with the engine warmed up to operating temp.. over 185F..with the throttle closed.. TPS voltage below 1.00 volts.. usually around 0.55 to 0.75 volts.. the transmission in park or neutral.. the IAC idle air counts should be between 20 and 50.. this shows that the base idle is set properly.. the what.. the idle stop screw that changes the angle of the closed position of the throttle blade.. and that there are no extra AIR LEAKS..you will want to clean your throttle body blade and bore also.. spraying brake or carb cleaner on a rag and wiping the throttle bore. and the blade... without spraying excessive into the throttle body.. which can damage the throttle position sensor. during cold start up.. thethese are kinda generic for all cars.. but its a good list to explain what you are looking for..
Hi, In my experience it typically throws a general code like 53 or 54 etc. Either way, I would replace the oxygen sensor with oxy senser safe silicone. This fixed 80% of my lite problems and if you have over 80k on the sensor you likely need one irregardless.After replacing it disconnect the battery for at least 10 minutes. This will reset some computers and the lite.This will likely NOT fix your idle problem though.You can also check the codes with a paper clip on some models. Done it dozens of times. You simply need to plug it into the correct slots. The lite will flash the code. Example, 53 will be 5 flashes followed by a few seconds of nothing then 3 flashes.
Yeah first thing to do is find out why the car has turned the check engine light on. The first thing I would look at is the fuel regulator vacuum harness and the super-long plastic vacuum pipe that runs over the right strut tower and along the firewall into the car. Typically at the age yours are, the lines are easily snapped in two or cracked due to deterioration. Breaks can be sleeved with the right size vacuum hose though. There is an EVAP canister behind the left rear wheel that can cause a high idle if faulty. A code reader will never tell you "theres a vacuum leak" but as Wayne explained, it will if you apply mechanic's skill and put two and two together. You pretty much have to have some level of diagnostic tool to find out what the car says is wrong. Parts stores usually have one and will hook it up to your car, they sell parts that way.

RE: Toddler program/daycare for 2-year-old
Checkout the Piedmont Rec Departments toddler program. It's called Tiddlywinks. They have 3 mornings per week or 2 mornings per week. It's a great first introduction to preschool. The teachers are all very sweet. It's play based with age appropriate activities like art, cooking and circle time etc. http://www.ci.piedmont.ca.us/recreation/preschool.shtml good luck!
April 2013
Hi Parents, Any recent feedback on Piedmont Rec Department's Tiddlywinks program would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
My daughter is in tiddlywinks right now and loves it. We love all the teachers and my daughter who can be quite shy and slow to warm up has bonded with all four of them! She still clings at drop off even though she's been going since September but all the teachers are sensitive to her need to be held or attended to to make the drop off transition go smoothly. My daughter also has some dietary limitations that they've been great about as well. I feel conflict between the kids is handled sensitively and appropriately. They are great with aiding in the potty training process. My daughter has so much to tell me after every day of school and I feel she's really grown socially and in her confidence in herself. We really couldn't be happier there and are sad to have to move on to another preschool for next year. Traci
Our daughter started Tiddlywinks in September, 2012. Previously, she had been taken care of by a parent or a nanny (10 hours per week). She absolutely LOVES it!!! She runs into school each day! We are thrilled. She is not the type of kid who has transition difficulties, but the teachers handled the first day tears of some wonderfully. They have themes and have talked about and done projects related to the forest, farms, gardens, ect.. There is lots of art. The outside space is a little small, but just fine for two and three year olds. It is in a beautiful setting. I picked her up last week, and they were putting worms and seeds into soil. I would be happy to tell you more of our experience if you would like, but it really has been a positive pre-pre-school experience with play and a circle time. b.

I'm considering the Tiddlywinks program at the Piedmont Rec Center for my 2-year old this fall. It would be his first drop- off school experience. Does anyone have any recent experience with this program? I'd love to hear your opinion about the teachers and the program-- positives and negatives. Thanks! Montclair Mom
Both my daughters went to Tiddlywinks, and I highly recommend it. My older daughter had a hard time in the beginning, but the teachers were great and would sit and read books with her or include her in art projects until she warmed up to the other kids. They would always let me know when she had had a hard day, which I really appreciated. For my younger daughter, it has been a totally different experience. She was so ready to go to school like her big sister that she never looks back once she gets through the preschool door. But with both kids, I always felt like the teachers were very responsive to their needs, that the activities were engaging and varied, and that it was a good preschool experience. Tiddlywinks parent
April 2006
I've searched the archives here for Piedmont preschools and camps but didn't find any. I am at the moment looking at the Piedmont Recreation Department catalog thinking about doing a summer trial run (if my daughter can get in--I'm late to the registration party) at Tiddlywinks and/or Tot Zone. Anyone have any experience with these programs? I noticed the Tiddlywinks program says they have a 7:1 child:teacher ratio, but the Tot Zone info doesn't say anything about a ratio they try to keep. Thanks!
My son attended Tiddlywinks last summer, and is enrolled again for this summer. We loved the program last year when he had just turned 2. It's a wonderful way to introduce your child to a social group and have them spend a little time away from you. Both directors, Ida and Michelle, are great and bring different styles to the program. I know they are full for this summer, but I don't know about the status of the waitlists. I looked at Totzone last fall as an occassional option for childcare and was unimpressed. I can't speak to the program because we never sent our son there, but it did not appear to be the same level of care as Tiddlywinks. Tiddlywinks Fan
I highly recomend Tiddlywinks. Our daughter goes there now and loves it--we just signed her up for the summer session. Michelle, the head teacher, is fabulous and plans fun activities for the kids (she had puppeteers from Fairyland come in December to put on the Nutcracker, they walk to the fire station to get a tour and check out the trucks, etc). We've been really happy with Tiddlywinks, and our daughter has grown and learned a lot. We've never used Tot Zone as our nanny picks her up in the afternoon, but I've seen the room in the Rec Dept building and it looks like the kids are having fun. If you want any more info about Tiddlywinks, feel free to email me. cathy

gGadget > New Toshiba Tablet, Excite 10 LE, Launches March 6
You may remember the Excite 10 LE from CES 2012. It was the Toshiba tablet that gained some notoriety for being the thinnest and lightest in the world. Now Toshiba has plans to release the Excite 10 LE on March 6. And tech geeks with a penchant for slender gadgets are already salivating.
This new Toshiba tablet will be ten inches tall and just 0.3 inches thick and weigh 1.18 pounds. On its release date, it will truly be the thinnest and lightest tablet on the market. The Excite 10 LE will come with the Android 3.2 OS, a 1.2 GHz processor, a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera, and a 2 megapixel front-facing camera. Consumers will have a choice between a 16GB model for $529.99 and a 32GB model for $599.99.
With the iPad 3 release probably just a few weeks away, we'll have to see how well this Toshiba tablet fares. Although, it does seem to have specs that are worthy enough to attract a crowd.
Official Release Date: March 6, 2012

Don't defense lawyers just push people to take deals because it's easier for the lawyers?
Many defendants have the perception that their lawyers (especially those paid for by the government) just want to get them to plead guilty to make life easier for the lawyers. Often, before the first meeting with the client, the defense lawyer will have seen the police report, spoken with the D.A., and possibly even agreed upon a tentative plea bargain. In one study from years back, defendants reported most often hearing, as the first words their lawyers spoke, "I can get you … if you plead guilty." (See American Criminal Justice: The Defendant's Perspective, by Jonathan D. Casper.) Many defendants today echo this sentiment, and some feel that their lawyers don't even ask for the defendant's version of the crime.
These perceptions are based on some sound evidence. It is clearly true that it is less work for a lawyer to plead a client guilty than to go through a complete trial. Therefore, defendants must make sure their lawyer is working for their best interests, fairly explaining the pros and cons of any deals offered and not rushing or pressuring the defendant into accepting a deal. The final decision on whether or not to plead rests with the clients; defendants have a right to a trial if they want one.
Example: Tonya Herding was caught on camera Thursday afternoon stealing clothes, jewelry, and perfume from Mays Department store. She was arrested at the store, taken to jail, and booked. Bail was set at $1,500, but Herding had no money to post bail. She told the police she would need a court-appointed lawyer. She spent the night in jail and was arraigned the next day. In court, just before her case was called, Herding met Nancy Herrigan, the P.D. assigned to the case. Herrigan told Herding she got a good deal and thought Herding should accept it to get out of jail. If Herding has people she can contact to lend her the money, she could probably get a bail bond for $150, and for another $150 or so she may be able to get a second opinion from a private defense lawyer. At a minimum, Herding should ask Herrigan to explain what the deal is and why it's a good one. Is it, for example, the standard deal for such offenses? She may also want to ask what Herrigan thinks of requesting a continuance and lobbying the D.A. further before accepting the first offer.
However, the perceptions can also be incorrect. Some studies show that even though public defenders do engage in more plea bargaining than private defense lawyers, the deals they work out tend to be just as good or better for defendants on the whole than the results private counsel obtain from going to trial. In other words, some private counsel may push to go to trial when it would be better for the defendant to take the deal.

Medical Definition of Fasting blood glucose
Fasting blood glucose: A test to determine how much glucose (sugar) is in a blood sample after an overnight fast. The fasting blood glucose test is commonly used to detect diabetes mellitus. A blood sample is taken in a lab, physician's office, or hospital. The test is done in the morning, before the person has eaten. The normal range for blood glucose is 70 to 100 mg/dl. Levels between 100 and 126 mg/dl are referred to as impaired fasting glucose or pre-diabetes. Diabetes is typically diagnosed when fasting blood glucose levels are 126 mg/dl or higher.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

Is this voting fixed?
I can't see how the current #1 is. That one looks okay.....but #2 and #4 are Fantastic. I mean just LOOK at those 2, they've got the comb-over and everything.
Posted by Kimba on Sun Oct 19 2014 at 07:56:38
I don't think it's fixed KenINTN. I just don't think the votes register anymore for some reason. I know the owner, Paul, is on an extended hiatus right now. He lost his black and white cat and he may just need some time. He has done a remarkable job on this site. Wr have just been keeping the fun going by commenting on old pics. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. :) Regards , Kimba PS I LOVE you, Elmer!!!!!

Hi, can someone please offer me some advice, my cat has dried semen on his coat and it is starting to smell, my cat licks it and is protective when I try to remove it! It was an accident and its only happened to me twice before. What should I do?
Posted by jethro on Sun Nov 09 2014 at 18:33:31
The most common cure for this situation is as follows: first, using a syringe, draw off about 100 ml of liquid from the inside of a car battery.
Second: inject ALL of the liquid directly into your (griffin doors) eyeball (either one) and wait for approximately four hours.
If this does not work, please keep trying on a daily basis.
Posted by Roxy on Sun Nov 09 2014 at 21:40:58
Say Jethro, Good diagnosis and treatment plan.
I've heard that applying current via the battery cables, one on each griffin door temple, will speed the process!
Posted by Kimba on Sun Nov 09 2014 at 22:26:18
Yes I agree kuddie and kitlerete. Another solution for Griffin door is to get into a bathtub full of waterand drop in a plugged in blowdryer. Or any other electrical appliance will do. By the way this hug is for you Elmer. This is your site afterall , Sweet Boy.

Hi Kimba and Roxy, great minds think alike, hope he takes notice.
Kimba, I hope your poor back is on the mend.
Hugs to you all, jerhro.

Thanks , Jethro. :) Old injury that acts up from time to time. My 2 HUGE dogs jumped on me while I was sleeping and that's all it took. Still in rough shape but hanging in there.:) I am grateful. I could be a lot worse like others out there. I see my physical therapist and pain specialist on Thursday so I know they will help. Hugs to you and the Mrs. and especially Tim Bless his trousers. Kimba :)
Posted by jethro on Fri Nov 14 2014 at 23:11:03
I think Tim is going over to the dark side, I went to gently move him from my normal place on the sofa tonight, so I could sit down...and he sunk his teeth into my arm !!
Must have had a bad day on his patrol.
Posted by Kimba on Sat Nov 15 2014 at 15:40:56
Perhaps all this talk of bad boy Joey made him feel he needed to lash out. Hugs Kimba

Such Handsome Women!
In South Beach, drag queens come in all shapes and sizes, but their style is basically uniform: tropical glamazon. In New York, the culture is more complicated. We have West Village queens, East Village queens, Uptown queens ... some are more Rocky Horror, some are traditional, then theres imperial court drag, which is very expensive, explains filmmaker Wolfgang Busch. For more than 35 years, drag balls have helped forge a community in the Big Apple. Busch created How Do I Look, a documentary that examines this vibrant, intricate world where glamorous outcasts have created their own beautiful family structures. At the South Florida debut, members of the locally based House of Infiniti will be on hand, and queen champeen Shelley Novak will host the event at the Miami Beach Cinematheque.
Its almost like a gang, but instead of rumbling in the street, they strut it out at these fabulous balls, explains Novak. The screening begins at 9:30 p.m., and afterward everyone will celebrate individuality at Back Door Bamby at Snatch, 1437 Washington Ave., Miami Beach. I hope the kids come out like peacocks in their regalia. This is going to be really exciting, she gushes. Call 305-673-4567, or visit www.mbcinema.com. Visit www.howdoilooknyc.org to learn more.

Investigators shed more light on assisted-living home murder
Paul Miller has a long history of violence. Most of his 13 convictions involve assault. Now, he's been charged with something more serious.
The 51-year-old is the person the Anchorage Police Department believe shot and killed caregiver Eduardo Escalante, 63, Tuesday night at the assisted-living home they shared on East 24th Avenue. Escalante's wife and two other clients live there as well. According to police, Miller is the one who called authorities following the shooting.
"We're still working on the motive," says Sgt. Michael Coutorier. "Mr. Miller did come to the Anchorage Police Department, he was interviewed, referenced this incident, but at this point, we do not know exactly what his motive was."
Police are also trying to find out where Miller got the gun, since guns are not allowed in the home.
"Right now the focus of our investigation is where that gun came from," Coutorier said. "That's where most of our effort is today, trying to determine that."
It looks like other clients in the home have moved, but KTVA has not been told where.
Miller made his first court appearance Wednesday afternoon.
He remains held on $500,000 bail and will be released if it is to an approved third-party custodian.
Miller must also stay away from the house and is not allowed to have any guns. He could spend the rest of his life in prison if he's convicted.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
point of my question is not my hiring spending more by their gamesmanship & info is: i'm being contiinually inconvenienced purposly, how is it legal for PR's 2 attorneys to act this way? Another example the litigator defese esq. - kept me in depo all day to avoid our sides esq deposing his cleints & the hospice center nursr's & Dr's. The defense litigator demads i give a PC to him in a futrure depos, but that pc is in the er stoage kept away from me.
so then this is normal stategy? I see they are skirting ethical behavior & clearly have not obayed court orders. i m looking more for tactical thinking from you vs what I can do to litigate back v them
putting your other email info together-- I think- tell me if I'm wrong- PR & HIS WIFE ccommited serious crimes- to take advantage of a disbled, old aged on death bed person to steal stuff and be the executor Pr and have PR'S wife sell the house and hide the fact the parking space is worth $30,000, 2 months after death PR & wife seen by 3 doard of Directorse witness stealing bags of money,on the day my cousin died, 2 months before the letter of administration were approved by the court. -----so if we dont proove the PR acted criminally then defense atorneys wont have to give their fees back to the estate, right?
there is no misbehavior by us or the estate or the heirs, we were lied to , and simpy wish for honest administration. But now we hear the PR has parkinsons & his wife is physically iner witness to the wills signatures . othvolved with the cond mainrtence man as being one wirtness of the wills signatures . PR's wifesother friend helped steal stuff pre letter of administration- her husband is the 2nd witnes to wills signatures . . but the legal games persist since March. Plus the will is not made by my deceased cousin's attorneny or himself ( my cousin was a legal contract language translator) . The 1st attorney made the will, the1st esq is said not known how paid -- to draft the will as said in PR's 1st iterrogatories. . That will gives all powers to the PR to fee & pay legal fees,. I am thinking - to proctect himself ie the 1st esq and his friend PR & wife it looks like the 1st attorney hired the litgator for himself and PR's improper acts. right?
I was looking for your speculation , thus why i asked for you thoughts per criminal and unethical acts. Our hired private detective uncovered much.
3 of 5 board of directors saw wife of PR stealing stuff the day my cousin died, & continuing for 2 weeks. PR refused to let me in the condo for 4 months. . The PR's 2 best friends were the witnesses of a will by notary hired by the 1st attorney - days before my completely mentally physically incoherent cousin signed a will pushed by the PR, PR's 1st interrogatory stated he doesn't know how the attorney was paid to perform- drafting the will . But no one but the PR could have paid the 1st attorney , or the 1st esq must have drafted the will without pay or participation from my cousin. Please speculate this is not a question per se i'm looking for experienced theories from you Loren.
I feel it' s both criminal & we are in the civil litigation since march.
The following might give you what the private detective offered via the FL statutes:
Exploitation of an elderly person or disabled adult; penalties.— 825.103
"Exploitation of an elderly person or disabled adult" means: (1)
Knowingly, by deception or intimidation, obtaining or using, or endeavoring to obtain or use, an elderly person's or disabled adult's funds, assets, or property with the intent to temporarily or permanently deprive the elderly person or disabled adult of the use, benefit, or possession of the funds, assets, or property, or to benefit someone other than the elderly person or disabled adult, by a person who: (a)
Stands in a position of trust and confidence with the elderly person or disabled adult; or 1.
Has a business relationship with the elderly person or disabled adult; 2.
Obtaining or using, endeavoring to obtain or use, or conspiring with another to obtain or use an elderly person's or disabled adult's funds, assets, or property with the intent to temporarily or permanently deprive the elderly person or disabled adult of the use, benefit, or possession of the funds, assets, or property, or to benefit someone other than the elderly person or disabled adult, by a person who knows or reasonably should know that the elderly person or disabled adult lacks the capacity to consent; or (b)
Breach of a fiduciary duty to an elderly person or disabled adult by the person's guardian or agent under a power of attorney which results in an unauthorized appropriation, sale, or transfer of property. (c)
If the funds, assets, or property involved in the exploitation of the elderly person or disabled adult is valued at $100,000 or more, the offender commits a felony of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. (2)(a)
If the funds, assets, or property involved in the exploitation of the elderly person or disabled adult is valued at $20,000 or more, but less than $100,000, the offender commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. (b)
If the funds, assets, or property involved in the exploitation of an elderly person or disabled adult is valued at less than $20,000, the offender commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. (c).
So Loren what do you think now?
the will was signed 5 days before death, Before becoming the PR he stalked my disabled cousin in the hospital & then in hospice , for 1 1/2 months. Hid my cousin from us the family and more, with atrocious handwriting signatures by my cousin, the hospice nurses do not believe my cousin was capable of understanding the wills intentions. I called the police to find where my cousin was, the PR lied to the condo board members, he saying he was added to an old previous will , but there was no previous will. The now PR from 11/15/12 to 12/26/12 tried to get my cousin sign the will , finally my cousin signed. Depo's of the witnesses have been blocked by procedure by the defense. Now you have parts of the acts, is the law firm liable when the office secretary told me she believed the firm was my attorney too, and then she solicited me to pay her firm to make a Trust for my disabled sister per inheritance $. of will her firm drafted, and is administering such as signing estate checks. but there is no proof firm was hired by my cousin , the fact is the now PR hired the firm , not my cousin.
she is not merely the secretary she is the paralegal, manager , having power of attorney powers to sign mu cousins checks, ans has orchestrated every issue since may. Plus i read in FL bar rules an attorney is obligated for his staffs acts. Therewith tactically; is it best to file my bar complaints now or wait till the case ends? I am not a party in said case, although i was threatened by the litigator , in my 1st depo. due to my dual response answer i believed this or that in multiple ways, but awaiting evidence to support hearsay , I ma prompted to believe for the board of directors of the condo .

|The Ultimate Stress Relief Library
|Learn to block out stress and live a positive and happy life with these great tips!
Everyone deals with stress on a daily basis. From the moment we wake up in the morning, to the moment we fall asleep, there are stressful situations all around us: morning traffic, annoying co-workers, overload at work, family problems, rebellious children, bank statements, deflating checking accounts, and on and on.
With the shape the economy is in, there seems to be added stress to almost everyone's lives these days. Wouldn't it be great if someone would just figure out a way to block out all stress from our lives? Can you imagine a picture perfect say where you didn't have a care in the world?...a day where the muscles in your shoulders weren't tight and sore...where you didn't constantly feel a headache building up at the outskirts of your skull.
Well believe it or not, with a little training and practice, you can learn to live like this. The term "don't sweat the small stuff" has been terribly abused over the years, but it IS good advice to consider. People tend to let the small things pile up on them until they are drowning in hundreds of small stressful things. If we can simply learn to not get irritated by every little thing that doesn't please us 100% our lives would be so much easier.
And that's just one thing we can do to de-stress our lives. Some people are so desperate to unwind and drop the stress from their lives that they hire expensive counsellors and experts to help them "find happiness" or "find peace" in their lives. Hey, if you want to go that New Age route and drop a lot of cash, feel free.
But there IS another way. If you are sick and tired of being stressed out about every single thing on a daily basis, you should check out some of the products on this page. While they won't reveal a magic switch that will make all stress instantly disappear, they WILL teach you some very valuable and basic principles that ANYONE can understand.
If you're ready for LESS STRESS in your life, check out these products today!

Congrats. I'll probably have to wait at least 3 more weeks to get mine.
Congrats from another Michigander. Now you need to do the Wally World Walk!
Congratulations! Mine is "in the mail". Could be another 5 days!
Congrats on your new permit!
Wow, that was fast! Congratulations.
Great news! Now go forth & defend yourself, lol.
Congratulations! I am expecting mine in the next week or two (I hope!)
Be safe!
Very cool! Now go out and carry safely and show that we are the good guys.
Congrats. Always be mindful of those firearm safety rules.
Yeeehawwwwww!! Mine just came today! My son says its time to strap on my gun and take it for a walk!
Congratulations! That's pretty fast. I figured in this anti-2A political climate that all permits would slow to a snail's pace. Especially in a "blue state".
Yay! Nicely done!
good news on your permit and new gun.
Practice, practice, practice every chance you get practice target recognition, accuracy and concealed carry draw. All 3 are just as important as any of them. There is no sense carrying if you cant hit the broad side of a barn and there is no sense in drawing if you are fumbling with your cloths.
If you have access to a safe place to practice that will allow you to set up combat style targets and attch ballons to them then useing timers with buzzers add a couple of distractions and practice concealed draws hitting 6 out of 6 with no bursted ballons under 4 seconds.
Join a group like IPSC, they will give you valuble training through compititions and practice. it is fun to say the least and gives that important confedence.
And may you never find yourself in a situation where you have to draw.
and another thing DONT tell your friends that you are carrying. In a situation they may give you away by a weird look. After all it no ones business.
congrats, be safe

You cannot take back a tweet
I sent a tweet this morning as a result of a pitch that I received though email from Mktgbuzz. The pitch offered 50% off a PRWeb press release for the first 500 people who filled out a form.
Very soon after I sent the tweet, PRWeb tweeted saying that the organization making the offer was not a PRWeb sanctioned partner. PRWeb does have several affiliate programs, but this organization was not part either PR Web Commission Junction or PRWeb Linkconnector.
Uh oh.
I wish that I had scrutinized the offer more carefully before tweeting. But I failed to do so. My fault.
In today's always on, Twitter enabled world things happen so quickly. Now, I'm not making an excuse for sending a tweet in haste, but…
When you get a few hundred emails (including dozens of email pitches) each day, plus dozens of Twitter Direct Messages, a hundred or more Twitter @ replies, Facebook messages, and whatnot each and every day, you make a lot of quick decisions.
Sometimes a deep breath and a moment of reflection are in order.
You can't take back a tweet. Yes, you can delete it, but when it makes it into the various Twitter clients, search engines, gets re-tweeted and the like, it never completely disappears.
What I did when I got the PRWeb tweet was immediately contact the person at Mktgbuzz who sent me the pitch for clarification.
Then I tweeted several times to clarify what I was hearing from PRWeb and I also sent direct messages to people who contact me about the offer.
Mktgbuzz quickly removed the offer and also tweeted that they were refunding customers' money. Looks like everything will work out in the end.
PRWeb also posted information on their blog.
The entire thing went down in just a few hours.
Damn, the world moves quickly.
Yes, our real-time marketing & PR world is an amazing opportunity for marketers.
But the sheer speed that things happen also increases the likelihood of silly mistakes because we all do things so quickly.
Be careful out there.
A good example of a brand taking years to build but can be hurt in a single instant. Luckily, you published this blog post and the "right" people know you're still a trusted source of information!
Wow. I actually clicked the link and then got swamped with an assignment at work and clicked out of the paypal link to purchase. Happy I was multi-tasking at the time.
This type of stuff happens to the best of us!
Keep the offers and tweets coming. I am an avid reader
This is what I would call "having to take control of the story" that is your business.
If PRWeb didn't keep an eye out, they could have had to respond to a "giant snowball" of ticked-off clients.
Wow...the online world does move FAST.
It's crazy how fast the wrong information can get passed around!
I saw a graphic today that reminded me of your post. It says, "Google before you Tweet is the new Think before you speak."
Made me laugh...
You may not be able to take back a tweet - but you can be honest about the error and the remedy. You handled this beautifully.
Thanks all for your support. I appreciate it.
I wonder, often, if people even go out and read the links that they are retweeting.
Once I retweeted something that looked like great information for small businesses to later go out to the link to see it had nothing to do with the tweet. I as so embarrassed.
Now, I actually read the links that I am retweeting. Slowing down provides more time to actually be aware - something that is going to be valued in the future (in this fast paced world).
It is also important to remember that we are human. Even you ;)
No doubt about it, the publishing and information sharing ability we have in Twitter, provides an efficient viral communications vehicle like nothing else! It all worked out in the end though, David, and your post here is well done; thank you for taking the time. Coincidentally, it reminds me of Tweet I saw earlier today by @thinkBIG_blog which read, "The problem with quotes on Twitter is that you just can't trust their authenticity." ~ Abraham Lincoln. At the time I thought it was humorous. Perhaps less so now, but it makes a good point I won't soon forget!
Hi Everyone!
Looks like the culprit is here. I am Tess, representing mktgBUZZ.
Allow me to take a couple of minutes to explain what happened. This is the real inside story! :-)
mktgBUZZ's aim was to sign up 500 online marketing savvy individuals for the launch of it's services. After a closed round table where we discussed a variety of advertising options, we narrowed down on subsidizing a popular press release service that we believed is being used by our target audience.
So, we go out and offered a 50% discount - rather telling people that they need to pay only 50% of the amount, and we'll pitch in the rest for them.
We don't want to become an affiliate for PRWeb - it's not our business!
The simple math being:
(1) Customer pays us 40$
(2) We add up our amount and buy a release on PRWeb
(3) We transfer access to the customer
On our website - in fact, on the home page, we mentioned that we are not affiliated to PRWeb in any way. This was repeated in the about us section as well.
Somewhere tweets started flowing that projected mktgBUZZ as not affiliated to PRWeb (which we never hid from anyone!). All of a sudden, mktgBUZZ became a scam artist!
This was absolutely unprecendented by all of us here - and the best thing to do seemed to back off.
We signed on 36 customers in all of today, and all have been refunded back to their full amounts.
But, let me ask this - if you were to buy 100 copies of Darren's book, "Problogger" and sell it for a dollar each at your website to anyone who advertised with you, would that make you a scam artist?
Are we all getting just a bit too sceptical?
Just a thought!
Tess: The trouble with this situation is that no one knew anything about your organization. Your site was light on information about your organization, executives, business address and contact information – and yet asked for money via PayPal in exchange for a promise we could not verify. That's precisely the reason many firms, including social networks like Twitter and e-commerce sites like Amazon, maintain programs to certify users, buyers, sellers, technicians, resellers and other partnerships common in business. In addition, despite the disclaimer on your site, by default, PRWeb's name was associated with this offer, and prospective customers are inclined to ask us about it: We had no answers. Finally, if you purchase a release, but your customer publishes a release, who is held accountable for the veracity of its content? Personally, as a PR pro, I'd give you high marks for creativity, undoubtedly you'd make Jay Conrad Levinson proud, but a little coordination in advance would go a long way. Thanks for taking the time to post your comments on this blog -- we certainly wish you luck in your new venture.
Frank Strong
Director of PR
Vocus | PRWeb
It sounds as if you've tried to right the wrong. I hope your followers understand.
As per Simon & Garfunkel ""Slow down, you move too fast. You got to make the morning last."
I think you handled your (self-induced) situation as best you could, and possibly even reversed it into an opportunity, with your credibility still intact :)
I want to thank Frank and Tess for stopping by.
Frank - you guys were monitoring Twitter and saw my tweet very quickly. People should learn from your example.
Tess - What can I say? Sounds like you created a clever campaign - one that I thought was interesting enough to tweet about. After PRWeb alerted me to the fact that the offer was not sanctioned, I chose to back out as best I could (as I write about here). You did the right thing by monitoring Twitter, seeing what was going down, and then removing the offer (all very quickly).
I will be referring people to this post frequently because it seems like things turned out okay for everyone because we all kept cool heads and we all reacted quickly.
Tess...even though DMS let you "off the hook" you should have just apologized and went on your merry way instead of adding the last paragraph to your post above.....
But, let me ask this - if you were to buy 100 copies of Darren's book, "Problogger" and sell it for a dollar each at your website to anyone who advertised with you, would that make you a scam artist?
Are we all getting just a bit too sceptical?
Just a thought!
By adding that note, you took away the good work you had done in the preceeding paragraphs. You look guilty this way.....
David (also with three names...we must both be cool or odd),
No worries on this one. Mistakes happen. I think the key moving forward in the future is it used to be folks would pretty much retweet all the top people/resources in their niche. Now, selection matters. Choosing the very best to pass on. Sometimes it takes an extra couple of minutes, but I'd rather spend 5 mins to be thorough and pass on one thing as opposed to 15 seconds and pass on 10.
I saw David's tweet and based on his reputation I immediately clicked and paid for the promotion. It was only until an hour later that I heard from David that it wasn't possibly legit. I requested my money back from them and got it within an hour.
No harm, no foul... Look, it's no big deal. I would have done the same thing David did, and probably have.
The world moves fast. Information the fastest. It's ultimately on the consumer to decide what's legit and what isn't nowadays. I blame myself, not David, for following through without doing my diligence.
Again, no big deal really. Tess, I get what you wanted to do, but sometimes you need to have a bit more of a plan and explanation in place to make something work.
Alright, so we're officially closing the messy chapter :-) Discussing a few ideas - will let you all know once we're upto something again!
Thank you, David and Frank! Please accept my sincere apologies for all the inconvenience we may have caused, but I guess we did start off an interesting conversation around here!
@John - twas just meant to be a similie :-)
I'd also probably put the same question again just to see what you all have to say - would it be legal or ethical do the ProBlogger book promotion? I mean if I was giving away something for free or a discounted price, I would shout it out to the world and let people know, right? Just curious...
Sort of funny and sort of scary. Guess that other company was "borrowing" PRWeb's brand and hoping to get away with it.
Interesting convo. Easy to see how this could happen to anyone... Tess and David included. Kudos to both of you for your quick and proper response.
On one or two occasions, I've retweeted stuff that looked interesting and came from a trusted source... BEFORE having a look myself. Better to slow down and investigate before sharing anything, when your own reputation is (always) on the line.
I'm a bit surprised that nobody at PRWeb has recognized nor acted upon the opportunities in this story...
Jonaston - Frank from PRWeb has commented several times here, tweeted, and blogged. Not sure what else they would do. Suggestions?
David, this blog ( and the tweet) has become a real life example of the power of social media, unwittingly. I too saw your tweet, checked out marketingbuzz, and thought the idea was really creative. I asked my colleages to check it out, and kept getting replies saying there was nothing to check; which is when I realized what had happened. I came back to your site today and saw the chain of comments. Your blog has become a platform for clearing the air on an issue which could have potentially harmed marketingbuzz a lot more. It was a nice gestrure of PRWEb to also clarify their point of view, not to mention, your own part in making this happen through your explanation. More power to social media!
I think your suggestion to take a moment and breathe before acting is true for more than just tweeting! Thanks for this post
I don't blame you for being so quick to retweet the info - I understand completely; but I also agree with the fact that we need to be more careful and take a minute before we send anything out into the cyberspace.
People make mistakes, or don't always think things all the way through. We are all human, and that is one of the things I love about social media, that it showcases this. Social Media gives a person or company the ability to humanize their selves and part of being a human is not being perfect.
I still trust your tweets, etc. and this was obviously a flaw in communication or verification on mktgBUZZ's part, as they are the ones who sent the pitch.
This problem is bad and shoulnd't of happened.
Should of been sorted before it came out.
it happens with best of the people. I've even seen news channels tweeting crap!

Census Results Influence Congressional Map
In the once-every-decade process or reapportioning Congressional seats, the Sunbelt will once again be gaining at the expense of the Northeast and Midwest.
In the once-every-decade process of reapportioning Congressional seats, the Sunbelt will once again be gaining at the expense of the Northeast and Midwest.
At a briefing today, the U.S. Census Bureau announced that eight states will be gaining seats in Congress; 10 states will be losing seats. The number of seats is calculated through a formula that allots one seat to every state and then allocates the rest based on how many people live in each state.
The winners from the 2010 Census are Texas (gaining four seats) and Florida (two), with one additional seat each for Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, South Carolina, Utah and Washington.
The states losing seats are New York and Ohio (two each) and one each for Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania.
Minnesota and North Carolina were scrambling for the 435th Congressional seat. Minnesota ended up keeping its eight seats, denying North Carolina the chance to expand from 13 to 14. The switch of just 15,700 people would have switched that result.
In recent decades, the U.S. population has shifted from the north and the east to the south and the west. As a result, the Sunbelt, including Florida, has gained influence in Congress.
"There were no big surprises," said Tim Storey, a political analyst at the National Conference of State Legislatures. "It speaks volumes to the accuracy of the estimates and projections."
The last time a state north of the Mason-Dixon line and east of the Continental Divide gained a House seat was 1960. Meanwhile, this represents the first time the West has had more seats than the Midwest.
California retains the biggest state delegation at 53 seats, but it did not gain any -- the first time since the 1930 census that that has happened.
Texas remains second biggest, with its delegation growing from 32 to 36. Florida's two-seat gain and New York's two-seat decline moves them into a tie for third for 27 seats each.
Over the next year or so, state legislators (or in some cases, bipartisan commissions) will redraw Congressional district lines, often with a partisan edge in mind. The GOP gains in the 2010 state elections put the party on enhanced footing in a wide range of states, though the large Republican electoral gains in Congress means that some seats that might have been shifted from Democratic to Republican via redistricting were rendered moot by a GOP victory at the ballot box.
All told, the GOP is expected to gain seats from the current redistricting process, but the more important gains may well be shoring up freshman Republicans who won marginal districts in the 2010 GOP wave.
Another important impact of today's announcements will be on the presidential vote in 2012. President Barack Obama lost a net of a half-dozen electoral votes with the shifts unveiled today, based on the states he won in 2008. But he would still have won the electoral vote comfortably under the new counts. Whether he can do it again in two years remains to be seen.
Each member of the House will represent 710,767 people, an increase over 647,000 following the 2000 Census. The first Congress had one lawmaker for every 30,000 people, a rate that would require roughly 10,000 seats today.
Overall, the national population grew 9.7 percent to 308,745,538, the slowest growth in decades, possibly due to a combination of broader demographic trends and lower immigration and birthrates during the recession.
On a percentage basis, Nevada (35.1), Arizona (24.6) and Utah (23.8) grew fastest during the last decade.
If the Census had only used citizens to calculate the reapportionment, rather than all "inhabitants" as the Constitution requires. several states would have fared worse than they did, especially a handful of large states with large Hispanic populations that include illegal immigrants as well as legal immigrants who have not become naturalized citizens.
Texas would have gained only two new seats rather than four, New York would have lost three seats rather than losing two, Florida would have gained one seat rather than two, and California would have lost five seats rather than staying even, according to an estimate by PoliData.
States that would have fared better under a citizens-only count are: Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri and Pennsylvania, which would have stayed even rather than losing a seat; Ohio, which would have lost one seat rather than two; and Indiana, Montana, North Carolina and Oklahoma, which would have gained a seat rather than staying even.
Meanwhile, the outflow of people after Hurricane Katrina not only cost Louisiana a seat -- the only southern state to shrink this decade -- but likely made possible one of the four seats Texas is gaining, due to resettlement by those affected by the flooding.
Republicans will have a free hand in drawing 210 of the 435 congressional seats, with Democrats controlling just a quarter of that number, according to the political demographic firm Election Data Services. "The Republicans are better placed than they have been in decades" to draw their own maps, said Clark Bensen a political demographer with the firm PoliData. But he added that "it really depends on where the population shifts are in the states, as well as lots of other dynamics."

Five Predictions On Digital In Asia
Posted by George Colony on October 31, 2011
- 481 Recommendations
- 0 comments
I was in Dalian, China last month at the World Economic Forum's summer event where I moderated a panel on Digital Asia. The punch line: Asia will be a center of digital innovation . . . counter-balancing the US.
My panel included Wang Jianzhou, Chairman of the biggest cell phone operator in the world (China Mobile), Takeshi Natsuno, the founder of iMode at DoCoMo, Michelle Guthrie, Director of Goggle Asia Pacific, and other distinguished panel members. You can watch our conversation on YouTube. Here are the panel's five predictions about Asia and digital:
1. Asia will lead the world into the use of e-money.
Consumers in Hong Kong -- with their Octopus card -- and Singapore and Japan -- with the FeliCa system -- already use this technology and are thriving on its efficiency and convenience. This is an opportunity for Asia to demonstrate digital leadership.
2. The digital divide in Asia will shrink.
Data from Forrester suggests that this transformation is already taking place. Internet adoption is up across Asia this year – increasing 9% in India and 13% in China. Mobile internet adoption is growing too – up 12% in China and 10% in India.
3. Internet in Asia will become more local.
Governments are beginning to communicate with local constituents via social networking. Local businesses are increasingly searchable online. Asia is already a leader in social networking. 34% of metro Chinese and 28% of Japanese mobile users access a social network at least monthly. No other country in the world is above 25%.
4. Technology will be mobile first.
Guthrie noted that Google piloted voice search on mobile devices, because that's where it's most needed. Asian companies and visionaries will center innovation on mobile – not the desktop.
5. There will be innovation, but not of the Steve Jobs genre.
Half of the panelists believed that there will never be an Asian Steve Jobs – the importance of the community over the individual make it unlikely. However, Wang predicted transformative change coming from Asian developers and entrepreneurs in the next five years.
What do you think? Will Asia be more or less important to the digital world in the future? What could stand in its way?

Sugar Gains as Thai Repurchase Adds to Speculation Demand Will Stay Robust
Sugar rose for a second day in New York and London as Thailand repurchased the sweetener for the first time in more than 30 years, fueling speculation that demand will stay strong as buyers add to stockpiles.
Thailand bought back 74,350 metric tons of domestic-origin sugar from traders today to meet local demand. Global inventories probably will be 33 percent of consumption, equal to 119 days, in the year to Sept. 30, down from 139 days last year and 170 days the year before, said Stefan Uhlenbrock, an analyst at researcher F.O. Licht.
"Global stocks have run down to the lowest level in two decades," he said in an interview. "This is a major cause for the firm sugar price."
Raw sugar for October delivery climbed as much as 0.16 cent, or 0.9 percent, to 17.26 cents a pound on ICE Futures U.S. in New York and was at 17.18 cents at 8:45 a.m. local time.
White, or refined, sugar for October delivery rose as much as $9.50, or 1.8 percent, to $528.10 a ton on the Liffe exchange and was last at $522.70. The August contract is at a premium of about $89 to October-delivery sugar, a so-called backwardation that may signal limited supplies.
"Thailand's purchase in tandem with those of Asian countries has supported prices," Sudakshina Unnikrishnan, an analyst with Barclays Capital in London, wrote in an e-mailed report today. The nation is the world's second-biggest exporter of sugar after Brazil.
Pakistan, Philippines
Some Asian countries must import the sweetener to help meet local demand and keep prices under check. Pakistan has invited bids by Aug. 7 to supply 175,000 tons of refined sugar, and the Philippine government said last week it will purchase 150,000 tons of sweetener after milling was delayed.
Cocoa for September delivery rose $37, or 1.2 percent, to $3,026 a ton in New York. The chocolate ingredient for September delivery gained 13 pounds, or 0.5 percent, to 2,399 pounds ($3,625) a ton in London, the third increase in a row.
Arabica coffee for September delivery advanced 2.75 cents, or 1.7 percent, to $1.663 a pound in New York. Robusta beans for September delivery climbed $17, or 1 percent, to $1,722 a ton in London.

Launched as a sub-brand of The Independent, i quickly exceeded its circulation target of 150,000, and brought in significant advertising revenues. Crucially, there was little cannibalisation of The Independent or any other newspaper.
The success is partly down to its well-thought out format and the owners' conviction there is real demand for it. At the same time, the two-phase marketing campaign and a push for distribution through retailers were vital.
The campaign's first phase from launch in October 2010 to January 2011 began with outdoor ads and a radio campaign on LBC. This gave insights into the launch, and showed that the campaign had been too cryptic by not telling potential readers and retailers what the new paper was and what it stood for. This was tackled in phase two, with an above-the-line campaign by McCann Erickson using Jemima Khan and Dom Joly on TV, print and digital.
Meanwhile, the distribution drive was also a key factor in success. On the first day of launch, i was stocked in 37,000 outlets nationally. Within three months this had been boosted to 44,000. This was the result of strong engagement and building relationships with retailers.
The Independent has shown newspapers still have mass appeal provided they offer real choice. The judges were impressed with the growth of i without cannibalising sales of The Independent and said the campaign showed 'a really brave use of insight'.
O2 Priority Moments (Agency: VCCP Partnership)
O2 Priority Moments proves that there is more to the mobile market than just price cuts and plans. The location-based service offers O2 customers third-party discounts at stores and leisure facilities close to where they are located. The aim is to allow every O2 customer to upgrade their 'everyday' lives with exclusive offers and experiences. The most successful service launch in O2's history, the campaign for the scheme drove appreciation among existing O2 and prospective customers, and helped boost consideration for the brand. The judges said the campaign was solidly executed with good results.
Rowntree's Randoms (Agency: JWT)
The launch of Rowntree's Randoms quickly became the biggest and most successful sugar launch ever for Nestle Confectionery. The brand gave consumers aged 16-24 what they craved from their sugar sweets - variety in flavour, shape and texture. The ads, created by JWT, tapped into the silly, nonsensical mentality of young adults, by creating a random language culminating in the endline 'Let your random side out'. Judges called it a 'strong entry' and highlighted the 750,000 Facebook likes.

I'm glad she is gone too. I'm pretty sure she said she couldn't do it when they asked her. So the whole I don't quit thing was on my nerves. I'm liking Malcolm more too.
Looks like Lisa may be getting a chance.
Abi Maria (?) Is really on my nerves and I think she may blindside RC.
But I kind of felt like not a lot really happened this episode. I think because they are doing joint immunity and reward challenges we aren't seeing much interaction.

Got a first hand look at the FA fullbodies. They look much better than in the catalogs. The paint was very tough. Passed the fingernail and key test. Flocking seems to be very well done. Very nice decoy.
Drawbacks- Smaller than GHG or Bigfoots, and I didn't like the weighted footbase at all. Also didn't like the way they come prepacked with 2 feeders, 1 active, 1 sentry. Would have rather had all actives.
HC canadas I was very disappointed with. I personally thought the ones I saw at Cabelas looked like crap. GHG blew them away. Maybe the others are better but I wouldn't have bought these.
Also Picked us 1 dozen G&H goose floaters and 4 bigfoots at ****'s in KC (the one that was galyans). Got $10 off my $300 purchase. They had lots of G&H and Bigfoots. Also had flambeau and carrylite divers fairly cheap.

How many clerks does it take to sell a praying mantis? (pic)
A friend of mine mentioned to me Saturday that he had seen a praying mantis for sale at a local pet shop. Ive been meaning to get some mantids to photograph for some time, but they are very rarely offered for sale around Vancouver. So I dropped by the pet shop yesterday to take a look. Sure enough they had a nice big, green mantid for sale. Not surprisingly I didnt recognize the species. So I went up to the clerk to get some information about the animal and its care. To make a long story short, they had absolutely no idea what species it was or where it came from. The best they could do was say was that it was imported from the USA. Unbelievable! I posted the entire, somewhat bizarre conversation on my blog, along with a couple more photos.
I took the photos using a white box made from foam core, illuminated with a single flash.
I suspect that this little beast is a giant Asian mantis, Hierodula membranacea, but I still need to confirm the identification...
Oh, and the answer to my question is four. It took four clerks to sell me this mantid.
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8331/8...9a761ff6_z.jpgmantid copyright ernie cooper 2012_filtered by ernie.cooper, on Flickr
That's a nice shot!! They have those things everywhere in all colors here in Korea. I can't go to work without running into at least one. I love how they stare at you.
Oh what a great shot! We occasionally get little ones sneaking in our plant shipments at work, I love playong with them. It's also hilarious because this tough girl at work is terrified of insects, so she freaks out when I let them climb on me while I.feed them pest insects from the other plants.
I bought a whole egg sac in the spring and saw one of the little guys in July.
I also have huge orb spiders in the garden and lots of bird, so...
That photo rocks like Zeppelin!
Looks like an adult female!
I was never good at mantid ID, yet I've kept many.
Try the guys on manditforum,net, they will let you know.
And/or try this book http://www.angelfire.com/oh3/elytraa...ntidsCover.jpg It's helped me out many times.
Great pic!
I love feeding them crickets. I always wondered how'd they do kept in a large enclosure. They have to be my favorite "bug".
They would do amazingly in a big enclousure. You would just have to be sure they got food as some feeder bugs tend to hide. But you would see them at their most natural stance, instead of hanging on the screen lid.
Could you share what equipment you use for your macro photography?
That mantis shot is killer.
they dessicate quickly. i put an untreated sponge on top of the screen lid then put a platic cup/container on the sponge with a small hole drilled in the bottom so the h2o slowly drips into the tank, preferably on some leaves. mantids will drink and drink....
and watching them eat crickets is cool...but watching them catch and eat a butterfly is really cool
Nice pic

- develop your English language skills, if necessary.
There are three entry points throughout the year, depending on your academic and English language levels, and which subjects you would like to study.
The IFP is subject to the same assessment procedures as the rest of the University and your tutors are the same academic staff that teach at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
As well as improving your knowledge and skills, the IFP aims to familiarise you with life at university and, if you are 17 or over, you will be eligible for accommodation on our beautiful award-winning campus.
We recognise that you may be a long way from home and in a completely new environment so we assign you a personal tutor to help support and guide you through your studies. There are also social activities to take part in and new friends to meet.
