Lord Patten asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Blackstone: The BBC's financial statements are audited annually by independent external auditors, currently KPMG, who assess whether the accounts have been properly prepared in accordance with the provisions of the BBC's Charter and Agreement. Although not mandatory, the BBC also complies with the provisions of the Companies Act 1985.
Following the licence fee settlement in February 2000, the BBC is required to appoint a separate audit firm for fair trading purposes, currently PricewaterhouseCoopers. This was part of a package on transparency and fair trading measures designed to open up the BBC to more external scrutiny. The independent fair trading and financial audit reports are published in the BBC's Annual Report. The Government have no plans to institute any further transparency measures.
Lord Renfrew of Kaimsthorn asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Blackstone: The committee that advises English Heritage on ancient monuments is the Historic Sites and Landscapes Committee, formerly the Ancient Monuments Advisory Committee.
English Heritage has advised that there is evidence that ploughing in parts of the Verulamium scheduled monument is causing ongoing damage to the archaeology. It is, however, difficult to delineate the areas in which damage is being caused because of the topography of the site.
Before a final decision can be made by my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on the correct way forward she must satisfy herself that all available options have
The term "deep ploughing" is not one that has an agreed definition and used in the context of this site, it conveys a misleading impression. Ploughing at scheduled monuments is only permitted within the terms of the Ancient Monuments Class Consents Order 1994 which gives consent to the following works (among others):
"Agricultural, horticultural and forestry works of the same kind as those previously carried out lawfully in the same location and on the same spot within that location within the period of six years immediately preceding the date on which the works commence; but excluding works falling into one or more of the following categories(a) in the case of ploughed land, any works likely to disturb the soil of any part of that land below the depth at which ploughing of that part has previously been carried out lawfully."
Of course, ploughing and other means of cultivating the soil are potentially damaging to any ancient monument or archaeological site. The cultivation of previously undisturbed sites may disrupt and make archaeological areas indecipherable and the repeated disturbance of the soil can fragment and abrade artefacts that are contained within it. The deeper the ploughing the more likely it is to destroy previously undisturbed levels even in land that has previously been cultivated. The impact on any one ancient monument is, however, dependent on the land use history and the nature of the site itself.
Lord Blackwell asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Lord Chancellor (Lord Irvine of Lairg) : The following 32 political organisations have been specified in ordersThe Registered Parties (Non-constituent and Non-affiliated Organisations) Order 2000 and The Registered Parties (Non-constituent and Non-affiliated Organisations) (Amendment) Order 2002made under Section 26(8)(c) of the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 as organisations which are not to be taken as constituent or affiliated organisations in relation to political parties and are therefore exempt from the provisions of the Act.
Lord Faulkner of Worcester asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Lord Chancellor: The Public Record Office (PRO) and the Historical Manuscripts Commission (HMC) will combine to form the National Archives in April 2003. As the HMC's current role does not include the acquisition of records, it is not anticipated that the coming together of the two organisations will impact immediately on the acquisition policy currently operated by the PRO. This policy excludes the records of privatised industries operating outside Government.
The National Archives will continue the practice of the PRO and the HMC in working closely with the
Lord Hayhoe asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Home Office (Lord Filkin): The National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS) does not hold statistical information relating to the number of prosecutions which may have resulted from these reports of suspicions of money laundering. However, it does monitor whether the financial disclosures it receives and forwards to law enforcement agencies are of value to those agencies. From these 31,251 reports made in 2001, to date NCIS has received feedback in 11,047 cases, and in respect of 9,082 (82 per cent) of these replies from law enforcement agencies have indicated that the reports have assisted their efforts.
Baroness Howe of Idlicote asked Her Majesty's Government:
(a) trying to enter the United Kingdom from the European Union and other countries; or
(b) already in the United Kingdom and are seeking asylum or resettlement in this country.[HL5287]
Lord Filkin: The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has offered this service to the United Kingdom (UK) and French Governments to help find a mutually acceptable solution to the problem of Sangatte. Both governments welcome the offer and are considering their response. No other role within the European Union is under consideration. For countries outside the European Union, under the proposed Rufugee Quota Resettlement scheme the UNHCR will be consulted on the scheme's development and have a role in the selection of potential applicants for the scheme.
UNHCR is not routinely involved in the process for considering asylum claims although it may intervene in individual cases. It is also consulted as appropriate on certain asylum and country policy issues.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was convicted of a DUI in California in October 2009. I applied for a record clearance in October 2012 (three years later) but it was denied because of a ticket I got in June 2012: CVC 23123(a), not using a hands-free device. (Although I was, but I was also holding my phone while driving.) However, the paperwork says that I was arrested in June 2012 (I was not) and that it was a misdemeanor (it is an infraction). Is this possibly a screw up, and if not and if my record cannot be cleared, will my license be taken away? And if not, when can I get my record cleared?The language is that I was "arrested for a misdemeanor violation of Sec. 23152(a) VC..." Is the ticket I received for not using a hands-free device, CVC 23123(a), technically an "arrest for a misdemeanor violation..." or is this a paperwork screw up? And if I do nothing will my license be taken away or does it just mean that my probation continues?
If you have an incorrect entry on your rap sheet, you need to contact an attorney in order to correct it. The 2012 error stated something was a misdo. rather than an infraction is a huge difference and should be dept with. This is especially true since you are trying to clear your record. Good luck.Ask a similar question
You definitely want to speak with an attorney about correcting the problem. Make sure you have copies of the paperwork from the infraction and sentencing. Sometimes errors occur, but it's up to you to show that it was an error. Good luck.
The above stated is advice only, and does not establish an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
You have a few issues that needs to be clarified with the Court and/or DMV before taking any further steps. You can either contact them yourself, or hire an attorney to help you in your legal matter. Please let us know if we could be of any help.
Lawrence Wolf, Esq.
The critical factor is whether you have successfully completed your probation with no violations. Even if there was a basis for a violation if the court failed to revoke your probation, you would be entitled to an expungment. We can get an answer to that question in a few hours with some basic information. Please give me a call and we can get an answer for you. Joel C. Koury , 310-560-2001Ask a similar question
In DUI cases, a defendant is not entitled to an "expungement" after successful completion of probation. Penal Code 1203.4(c) specifically states that the judge has discretion to grant a dismissal to a person convicted of a DUI, but is not required to do so.
Bottom line: there's really no way to "clear your record" after a criminal conviction in California.
You're probably talking about a dismissal under Penal Code section 1203.4, which is sometimes called an "expungement," even though it doesn't really expunge anything. (The California Judicial Council has even removed the E-word from the official application documents in the past few years... probably because the term is so misleading).
A 1203.4 dismissal has some limited benefits, but you still have to disclose the conviction when applying for a government license or job. It can still be used as a "prior" to increase the punishment for future DUI convictions, and it has no effect on your driving record with DMV.
In most cases, a judge is required to grant a 1203.4 dismissal if the defendant has successfully completed probation.
However, if you're convicted of a DUI, the judge has discretion whether to grant a 1203.4 dismissal. Even without the apparent mix-up with your recent ticket, you aren't guaranteed to get 1203.4 relief.
Please understand that this is a general discussion of legal principles by a California lawyer and does not create an attorney/client relationship. It's impossible to give detailed, accurate advice based on a few sentences on a website (and you shouldn't provide too much specific information about your legal matter on a public forum like this site, anyway). You should always seek advice from an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction who can give you an informed opinion after reviewing all of the relevant information.Ask a similar question
A cell phone ticket on a first violation, at this time does not assess points on your record, it hits you with a fine, but won't add points which could be used to suspended your license by DMV. However, you really have two issues, trying to get the DUI conviction cleared up and clearing up the issue with the infraction showing up as a misdemeanor.
As previously states, unless you can show that you were factually innocent of the charge, i.e. Identity Theft, the best you can so is a 1203.4 expungement which does not really take it off your record. It has to be disclosed for purposes of obtaining a professional license and for employment with the California State Lottery.
As for the other case showing up as a misdemeanor, I would try to informally fix that with the clerks office, if they won't then you could put yourself on calendar for a modification of probation if the order shows that you are on probation and then explain the issue to a judge asking the judge to correct the order. Otherwise, you can also write a letter addressed to the appropriate judge who would be assigned the case, explaining the issue. Lastly, you could do another 1203.4 petition on that case as well just to get it in front of the judge if all else fails, but that would be a real hassle.Ask a similar question

Dayle Garlett's immediate playing future is up in the air after WAFL club Swan Districts said it was unlikely to welcome the former Hawk back into the fold this year.
Garlett walked out on Hawthorn this week after the demands of the game combined with homesickness proved too much to handle for the talented but wayward 20-year-old.
The 181cm forward starred for Swan Districts before being drafted by Hawthorn with pick No.38 at the end of last season.
Swan Districts released a statement on Friday confirming they had held a meeting with Garlett's manager, but Garlett's intentions were still unknown.
Swan Districts chief executive Tom Bottrell said although the club was concerned for Garlett's welfare, the ex-Hawk wasn't part of their plans for 2014.
Although Garlett is free to secure a deal with a rival WAFL club, he would be classified as a 10-point player.
That high ranking would make it hard for a club to fit him into their points cap with the season already underway.
If Swan Districts decide to take Garlett back, he would be classified only as a one-point player because it's his club of origin.
If Garlett does secure a move to a rival WAFL club, Swan Districts will receive a transfer fee of up to $15,000.

NATO Chief Sees Parallels Between Syria and Balkans (NY) TIMES) By PAUL GEITNER BRUSSELS, BELGIUM 06/12/12)
Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/12/world/middleeast/nato-chief-sees-parallels-between-syria-and-balkans.html?ref=middleeast&gwh=EA7AA4D6F998F77A7A059E771CDE1D7B
NEW YORK TIMES Articles-Index-Top
BRUSSELS The secretary general of the NATO alliance, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said on Monday that the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s illustrated what might befall Syria unless Russia and the West agreed on a unified, clear message to the Syrian government to stop the violence.
In an interview, Mr. Rasmussen said that alliance members were disappointed by the failure of President Bashar al-Assads government to comply with the peace plan promoted by Kofi Annan, the special envoy for the United Nations and the Arab League.
Mr. Rasmussen said he agreed with the British foreign secretary, William Hague, who told Sky News over the weekend that the crisis in Syria was starting to resemble the sectarian warfare in Bosnia two decades ago, another time when Russia and the West were at odds over how to stop the violence.
I think one part of the lessons learned from the events in the Balkans is the serious consequences it may have if the international community cant speak with one voice, and cant reach an agreement on how to address the security challenges, Mr. Rasmussen said. Thats exactly what were witnessing in Syria.
He repeatedly emphasized in the interview that NATO had no plan or intention to intervene militarily in Syria, as the alliance eventually did in Bosnia and in Kosovo, and more recently in Libya. A United Nations Security Council resolution would be needed to authorize any NATO military action of that kind, he indicated.
If we are to facilitate a peaceful solution in Syria, Mr. Rasmussen said, I think its of utmost importance that the international community stands united and sends a unified, clear message to the Assad regime that it must live up to its international obligations and stop the crackdowns on the civilian population, and accommodate the legitimate aspirations of the Syrian people.
Mr. Rasmussen expressed concern about recent developments in the Balkans, where NATO is still stationing more than 5,000 troops. Adm. James G. Stavridis, the supreme commander of the alliances forces in Europe, wrote in a blog post last week that NATO would maintain that troop level for the foreseeable future because tension continues to be high in the Balkans, particularly between ethnic Serb and ethnic Albanian communities in northern Kosovo.
Mr. Rasmussen said the alliance postponed plans to reduce the NATO troop presence gradually in the Balkans in part because the European Unions mission in Kosovo made up mostly of police and judiciary officials is being cut by one-quarter this month.
Serbia on Monday inaugurated a new president, Tomislav Nikolic, whose nationalistic statements have raised concerns that he might undo the regions efforts toward reconciliation. Mr. Nikolic is scheduled to visit Brussels this week to meet with European Union officials, but no stop at the NATO headquarters here is planned.
Serbia officially became a candidate to join the European Union in March. Mr. Rasmussen, a former Danish prime minister, said he trusted that Mr. Nikolic would stick to that European commitment. He urged the Serbian government and the ethnic Albanian leadership in Kosovo, a former province of Serbia, to refrain from unilateral steps that can fuel violence and instability.
Mr. Rasmussen said he was sure that Greece would remain a strong and highly valued ally within NATO even if it dropped out of the euro zone or even the European Union. Still, he said, from an overall Euro-Atlantic perspective, it would be best if Greece stayed in the euro zone and the union. (Copyright 2012 The New York Times Company 06/12/12)

This Saturday at the YMCA camp near Oracle, the children of Americans in the military are being treated to a free day of activities coordinated through the Arizona National Guard and a number of other organizations.
The recognition day, a part of Month of the Military Child, is a family event at the YMCA of Southern Arizona's Triangle Y Ranch Camp and Retreat Center in Oracle. It runs from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the camp, located at 34434 S. Y Camp Road in Oracle.
The family festival features a picnic lunch, an Arizona National Guard VIP welcome, and interactive activity stations hosted by various military and community partners. Events and attractions include a rock wall, static educational displays, ball toss, an F-16 simulator, fire truck, K-9 demonstrations, a basketball clinic, crafts and more.
Members of the new American Legion Post 132 in Oro Valley are interested in helping the children of American military personnel, "particularly children who have a loved one deployed," a release said.
In joining the many military and community organizations contributing to the event, the Oro Valley post is supplying water for all attendees, who may number 500. A cash donation, roving magicians and musicians from the membership, and support tasks by more than a dozen post and women's auxiliary members add to the locals' contribution.
The post wants to reach military families throughout the area. People may call 229-1064.
Pre-registration is requested for Saturday's event. People may go to www.jointsupportservices.org to sign up. Those with questions may call Jennifer Kartchner at (602) 629-4418 or Terry Jarrell at (602) 267-2593.

In June 2007, the wife of then NSW roads minister Eric Roozendaal backed into a parked car in Sydney's Surry Hills in her sporty new Honda CRV.
The Renault Megane was left with a a large dent in a passenger door, photos tendered at the Independent Commission Against Corruption show.
But Amanda Roozendaal drove away.
"Despite people's pleasure in the sensationalism of calling it a hit and run, that is not what occurred," Mrs Roozendaal snapped at the inquiry into her husband's dealings with the Honda.
"I had my music on quite loudly and I very gently bumped another car. . . I'm not sure what my big crime is here."
Her car was then registered in the name of Nata Re, the sister of friends and business associates of the Obeid family. Mrs Roozendaal said she was unaware of this.
She gave evidence she didn't get out to inspect the damage because she was "unaware at the time" that there had been a collision.
Her claim was contradicted by an eyewitness and her own statements in an AAMI insurance claim in August 2007, which said she "got out and couldn't see any damage".
"I don't recall getting out of the car," Mrs Roozendaal insisted yesterday, adding she paid for the damage after police alerted her to the incident.
She left the hearing in tears.

Science research given $54 million boost
Hon Steven Joyce
Minister of
Science & Innovation
25 October 2012 Media Statement
Science research given $54 million boost
New Zealand's top scientific researchers have been awarded $54.6 million in Marsden Fund grants, Science and Innovation Minister Steven Joyce announced today.
The funding will go towards financing 86 new projects that were selected from 1113 applicants, who submitted proposals for consideration.
"The Marsden Fund is one of New Zealand's premier investigator-led research funds. Each project selected this year went through a rigorous selection process and the successful applicants were chosen on the basis of scientific excellence," Mr Joyce says.
Research projects to receive funding ranged across a broad spectrum, including studying new therapies for diabetes, obesity and heart disease; learning more about the behaviours of earthquakes and volcanoes; and harnessing the power of business.
Thirty two recipients have been awarded Fast-Start grants for outstanding post-doctoral and early-career researchers that are worth up to $115,000 a year for three years. A further 54 recipients received Standard Grants, which are worth up to $330,000 a year for three years.
"This funding will enable our country's top scientific researchers to conduct quality research in their fields of expertise, which will have many flow-on effects for New Zealand's scientific community.
"Across the three-year funding cycle, we are not just supporting the applicants, but hundreds of scientists and researchers as these projects go through the various stages of research," Mr Joyce says.
Overall, 105 Principal Investigators and 120 Associate Investigators benefit from this funding, ranging from postgraduate students and post-doctoral researchers through to New Zealand's most eminent scientists.
The Marsden Fund is administered by the Royal Society of New Zealand. Recipients are selected by specialist independent panels covering the range of science disciplines

It's that time of year again: time to don the silly hat and play high-tech Santa to my wife and children. For the latter, I finally gave in and bought them a Wii, their first gaming console. To my wife I'm giving the early (as in now so that she can pillage eBay) "gift" of a new Windows 7 laptop.
I put "gift" in quotes because so far it has been anything but. Glitchy and error-prone, this unit has been a thorn in my side since the first boot cycle. In fact, I can't recall a more disappointing initial product experience (though installing OS/2 version 2.0 for the first time comes close). This slick-looking, ultra-low-power-usage unit is a real clunker, full of half-baked features and questionable design decisions.
[ Go deep into Windows 7 with the InfoWorld editors' 21-page Windows 7 Deep Dive PDF report. | Find out Randall C. Kennedy's choices for the top Windows tools for IT admins. ]
It's enough to inspire me to express my lamentation in song -- which is why I've arranged my top dozen grievances in true holiday fashion. Here, in all their glory, are my 12 miserable days of pre-Christmas PC support hell, aka "Ode to a Lousy Laptop."
12 random reboots: It's a cross we all must bear. Whether because of a buggy driver or some superimportant Microsoft automatic update, Windows simply decides it needs to reboot. This is especially true on a crapware-laden PC like this one. The lesson here? Save early, save often.
11 flimsy hinges: Coming from an IBM background, I got spoiled by those wonderful titanium hinges. Nothing is as smooth and reassuring as an original ThinkPad, certainly not this creaky, clumsy-feeling model. Yuck!
10 drive trays catching: Can someone please design a CD/DVD drive tray that doesn't catch on every possible surface? From tablecloths to carpets to random sheets of paper, this thing just won't keep to itself. It makes me long for the slot-loading bliss that is Mac ownership.
9 wares a-nagging: Norton and MacAfee trialware -- on the same system? I haven't seen this kind of double-teaming since that steroid-addled human freak show jumped from the top of a WrestleMania turnbuckle wearing nothing by spandex and a feather boa (I still have nightmares).
8 twitchy touchpads: I thought touchpads we're getting smarter? This unit's has all the bells and whistles -- chiral scrolling, multifinger gesture support -- yet it's as twitchy as a meerkat on meth. And those random character insertions when typing! I'll trade clever for smooth and consistent any day.
7 stuttering videos: Integrated graphics processors are the bane of the PC industry. They're glitchy, underpowered, and generally useless for anything other than basic 2-D GUI navigation. This unit is no exception: Its Intel 4500 series unit can barely play back a DVD consistently, and full-HD video is a joke. Can ... you ... hear ... me ... scream ... ing?
6 keys a-sticking: Whose bright idea was it to put Chiclet-style keyboards on full-sized laptop computers? I mean, I can understand the motivation in the netbook form factor: Limited deck space means the need for compromises and work-arounds. But this is a standard 15-inch size. There's plenty of room for a real keyboard, so why the elaborate trip through the Wayback Machine to the time of the IBM PC Jr. and its retarded, candy-inspired layout?
5 glitchy games: Nobody is expecting a sub-$1,000 thin-and-light to be great a gaming rig. However, this unit struggles to play even simple Flash animations smoothly. And you can forget about any sort of educational titles or interactive games for the kids. My 10-year-old daughter's Atom-powered netbook runs faster than this thing.
4 flaky fans: What is it with laptop fans these days? Every time this unit's CPU cooler kicks in, it's like someone started a wing of pre-1942 British Spitfires. Is there some global shortage of high-quality fan bearings? I swear sometimes this thing is preparing for takeoff!
3 hours of battery: All-day battery life? Yeah, right! I'm lucky if I get four hours out of the unit under moderate use, and most of the time it averages a bit over three. I guess the vendor's definition of "all day" includes suspending the unit and walking around with it tucked under your arm half the time. At least it's lightweight -- though still not as convenient as a netbook.
2 corrupted files: It's a brand-new PC, with an untouched (by me, at least) hard disk and an otherwise virgin USB port. Yet somehow it managed to corrupt two critical documents during a file transfer from a USB key. And while I can't be sure it's a hardware issue (Windows 7 was no doubt complicit), it's still quite disturbing. Fortunately, I kept the original on the key.
And 1 random BSOD. Need I say anything more?

There are various dog parasites which carry with them plenty of disease causing organisms. These
are also known to affect puppies as well. As a pet owner it is more than necessary to make sure you perform all
your responsibilities by making sure you pet dog or puppy is well feed, clean and healthy. It is also important to
keep a close eye on your dog for any signs of dog parasites symptoms or puppy parasites. In the case any of these
is present; take immediate action in treatment and further prevention.
Protecting your dog against parasite infestation will not only be beneficial to your dog but
also to you due to the fact that some of these parasites such as fleas are also known to cause havoc human beings
as well. Other than the already mentioned parasite there are various other types of dog parasites. One good example
is the roundworms. As previously stated some of these dog parasites are also known to affect humans. When
it comes to roundworms, children are highly vulnerable to it and they are known to highly damage internal organs as
well as the nervous system. One way of keeping your kids safe is by them washing their hands immediately they after
playing with their puppy. This just goes to show how the effects of parasites on your pets can easily trickle down
to you also. It is therefore important to ensure enough protection against these parasites is offered.
The different types of dog parasites can be divided into two; this can either be internal or
external. To being with external parasites are those which are mostly found on the external part of your dog being
the hair as well as the skin. When it comes to external parasites the most common ones found in dogs are:
This is amongst one of the most common dog parasites. Fleas are
also known to carry and pass to their host deadly causing organisms such as bubonic plaque. There are certain
symptoms which will directly inform on whether or not your dog is infested by fleas.
Whenever fleas attach themselves to their host in this case a dog or puppy they begin to bite
and feed on the host's blood through which they are able to survive. Whenever this happens the dog will then begin
to scratch continuously and even develop allergic reactions which then lead to the development of skin
Ticks are parasites which are just as common as fleas, but when it comes to the level of havoc
they can cause to your pets health is quite high especially in relation to their health.
Dog ticks are therefore more dangerous. They also depend on the
blood of their host for their survival.
These are considered to be uncommon when compared to the previously mentioned parasites. They
normally live in any part of a host's body and are known to cause skin irritation and sores.
When it comes to internal parasites as the name suggest they live within a host's body. One good
example of such is the tape worm.

Gwen's schedule for 2017
As of 2017 I'm retiring from teaching. Noel Coward said, "Work is more fun than fun," and I wholeheartedly agree. But then there's Fred Astaire who quit dancing when he was 67 explaining that "At my age I don't want to disappoint anyone, even myself."
Effectify's finance blog
Quilting has enriched my life in many ways. Most importantly, I've met many wonderful people and made life-long friends. Of course we will stay in touch. Still, it's time for me to bid adieu to teaching quilt making. I will still be making quilts, but I will now have more time for making soup, and other things I enjoy doing.
There are however, several things that are going on in 2017.
An exhibit of my work will be shown at the La Conner Quilt & Textile Museum in La Conner, Washington. The dates are Jan 4 - March 28, 2017. The exhibit will feature my abstract quilts in solids.
Jan 4 - March 28. Gwen Marston Exhibit: LaConner Quilt and Textile Museum, LaConner, Washington
March 24 - 27 LaConner Museum class and lecture.
April 3 - June 27. Gwen Marston Exhibit: Back Porch Quilt Shop. Pacific Grove, CA.
June 15 - 17. Gwen Marston Exhibit at the Kansas City Quilt Show.
July 2 - Sept. Exhibit of Gwen's students work, arranged by Pat Cox: Back Porch Quilt Shop, Pacific Grove, CA.
I may be retiring from teaching, but I wonder if you would be interested in letting me come into your home and show you some of the things I have shared in my classes through the years. I have two online classes that enable me to do just that!
The first class is Liberated Quiltmaking.
The second class is called Abstract Quilts in Solids.
In August Martingale Press is publishing a 144 page hard cover retrospective of 80 of my quilts. They are showing page photographs of each quilt and a facing page with closeups of the quilt. It's mostly just pictures of the quilts, with just a little bit of text. People can preorder from Martingale.
" Gwen's new friend: One of the nicest parts of my work as a traveling quilt teacher is that I make friends all over the country. Recently I stayed with a quilter I've known for some time, but had never met her companion, the adorable and very sweet Cleo, who often sits on top of the sewing machine while Linda sews. You gotta love that!"
Small Studies (intermediate to advanced) and Liberated Stars (intermediate to advanced)
Pat Holly had this to say about 37 Sketches : "I am so excited about this book! You did a great job in the text also you explained your process very clearly and simply. This is not easy to do! Good job!"
The page layouts are done in such an artful way that the text on the left page and the quilt on the right interact in a supportive way, as you can see in the two sample page spreads shown here. Patricia Ensey expressed it well by saying "The layout of the pages added greatly to the text, tying it to the art."
37 Sketches is off to New Zealand: I will be teaching at the National Quilt Symposium in Taupo, New Zealand in 2013 and have been invited to present a one-woman, month-long exhibit of the work shown in 37 Sketches at the Taupo Museum during July.
This book is beautifully crafted in the classical style and with attention to every detail. 37 Sketches is published in a first edition of 2,000 copies. The 96 page hardcover book has a Smyth sewn binding, is printed on 120 lb Gallerie Art Silk, and includes 37 color plates and additional illustrations of quilt details. The book is published by award winning Six Mile Creek Press, Ithaca, NY; printed in the United States by Capital Offset, Inc., Concord, NH; and bound by Acme Bookbinding, Charlestown, MA.
Australian Homespun's magazine reviewed it in issue #104, calling it a "gorgeous little book," and one that is "Certain to become a collector's item." In describing the book they say "It is a generous sharing of ideas and an insight into how one of the legends of the modern quitmaking world works.
France's Quilt Mania reviewed it in their January/February issue: "This book, illustrated with thirty-seven studies (small quilts) is actually a foundation for a reflection and work about design and color in abstract composition."
Your last book is a book to love. Its straight forward and gets the reader focused on the form. I love everything about it.
Lee Pettigrew, Eugene, Oregon. 10/2011
Gwen has launched into a new way of creating. This book, illustrated with thirty-seven studies (small quilts), is actually the foundation for a reflection and work about design and colour in abstract compositions. It has even won an award which will be presented at the very prestigious 2012 New York Book Show in March!
Quiltmania, Issue 87, January/February 2012
Your book is over-the-top wonderful from the terrific quilts to the book's design! We're all in awe.
Julie Smith, Muir Beach, California. 2/7/2012
Here we are into 2014 already. What happened to 2013? Didn't that buzz by quickly. In review, I was on the road a tremendous amount including five weeks in Australia and New Zealand, it's seems like I remember that I had a new book come out, and I conducted my 30th and my last Beaver Island Quilt Retreat, and that my dear friends, was indeed a BIG DEAL for me. My quilt retreats have been the one event that I have perhaps loved the most. I made life long friends there, as did a lot of the women who came for years, quite a number who came for 20-25 years. It was like a family reunion in which it just happened everybody was an experienced quilter so there were a lot of fabulous quilts that showed up for show and tell, and a lot of great quilts that got made there.
Because I love the retreats so much, it was difficult to figure out when and how I should give them up. I finally decided to follow the example of the Michigan auto workers who adhered to the "30 years and out" retirement plan, and 2013 was my 30th year. Another big issue for me was that, because I loved the retreats so much, I didn't want them to just end, and they aren't going to end. My old pals from forever ago, the very talented sisters Sue Nickels and Pat Holly are taking them over. Oh that's such good news. Both of them came to my retreat for years, and they know all about it, believe you me. They will do a bang up job, and if I were you, I'd sign up right away. You will have two excellent teachers who can answer all your questions, who have the reputation of being fabulous teachers, and are really really nice! Everything you need to know to register for the HOLLY GIRLS QUILT RETREAT is on Sue's webpage:
The truth is that I'm easing into retirement. As much as a truly love teaching, being on the road for 30 years takes its toll. I met a lot of great people all over the country, stayed with many really lovely women who I got to know quite well, all of which enriched my live immeasurably. I will miss many things about visiting guilds around the country, but I won't miss the travel. If you are one of the people who housed me when I visited your guild, I thank you again. My teaching schedule is as busy as usual through June of this year, and I'm going to some fabulous places too. Then, I don't have any teaching trips for the rest of the year. I will be home for the summer. I will be in my garden. I will be picking wild flowers in my woods. As usual, I will be entertaining my kids and my grandsons and my sister the month of August. And in our customary way, the adults will begin each day having our coffee and talking softy on the screened in porch; early, before the boys get up. Later we will all be walking single file on the narrow trail through the cedars to Little Sand Bay, our favorite beach on the shores of Lake Michigan. I will be teaching my grandson how to drive my pickup and in return, he will be rowing me around Barney's Lake in our little fishing boat.
In 2015 I have just a few jobs and all I plan on taking. And in 2016 I will have a few less. I do have a new book coming out this March, and several forthcoming articles coming out in 2014 for the American Quilter Magazine. As I said, I'm easing into retirement…not just screeching to a half! Now onto another subject. As Mark Twain once said "Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it." So, I've decided to talk about the weather.
The third week of January this year, Beaver Island got hit hard with bitter cold weather coupled with strong winds (as in 45 miles per) and heavy snow storms. These storms are called Alberta Clippers and they came to the island one right after another so the snow piled up, and up, and up. Here's how they work: Alberta Clippers form when warm, moist winds from the Pacific Ocean blow over the mountains in western Canada, where they develop into a storm over the Canadian prairies when they hit the cold winter air there. Then it gets caught in the jet stream which takes it south and in this case, right to Beaver Island. I have always thought the term "Alberta Clipper" had a sorta ominous ring to it, however there are two more notable Canadian weather delivery systems with even more apt names: the Saskatchewan Screamer and Manitoba Mauler which do seem to suggest possible peril. Brrrrr
The wonderful thing about living in the far north woods, is that Spring means something when it arrives. Seeing the first thin blade of anything green peeking through the snow is absolutely glorious. And daffodils? Heavenly…..Sublime!

Purpose: To create a page that plays different movies depending on which link the user clicks on. Only one player is displayed to play all the movies. Right now the links are text for my convenience but eventually they'll be images.
Problem: I can't get the player to change to the second movie. I'm doing this in JavaScript. Here I'm showing it to you as inline script, but it doesn't work as a function call either.
Question: How do I get this page to change the movie in the player based on the user's click?
I've tried this 2 different ways: creating the playing with manual code and creating it with an Apple-supplied function call.
This is how I create the player manually:
<object CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" WIDTH="640" HEIGHT="370" id="movie1">
<PARAM NAME="src" VALUE="video/movie1.mp4" />
<PARAM NAME="autoplay" VALUE="true" />
<PARAM name="CONTROLLER" value="true" />
<param name="scale' value="aspect" />
<EMBED SRC="video/movie1.mp4" TYPE="image/x-macpaint"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download" WIDTH="640" HEIGHT="370"
AUTOPLAY="true" controller="true" id="movie1"></EMBED>
This is how I create the player in JavaScript:
QT_WriteOBJECT('movie1.mp4' , '100%', '95%', '', 'autoplay', 'true', 'controller', 'true', 'scale', 'aspect',
I have this link to change the movie:
Play 2nd video inline JavaScript without path
Here's what happens: The player loads and begins playing the movie okay. When I use the manual coding and click on the link, I get an "Error on page" message. This is IE 8. The details are these:
Webpage error details
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; InfoPath.2; WWTClient2)Timestamp: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 21:46:29 UTC
Message: 'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an objectLine: 56Char: 3Code: 0URI: etc.
I'm probably doing something basic wrong. What is it? I would appreciate any help you can give. I am testing this on a Dell running Windows XP Pro SP3 at work and a Dell running Windows 7 Home Premium at home. Please let me know any other information you need. I do appreciate your taking the time to read this post, as I know it is long and you are not paid.

text: Updated from 10:18 a.m. EDTIndyMac Bancorp's ( IMB) precipitous fall Monday is a bad sign for other savings and loans on the brink of financial disaster. After the last session, IndyMac posted a "stakeholder letter" on the company's blog, announcing that it was no longer considered well-capitalized by its regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision. Unless it quickly raises capital or finds a way to sell major portions of its business, IndyMac can't survive for the next several quarters unless overall housing prices show some signs of life. A rebound in housing would make the mortgage-backed securities market much more liquid, supporting prices and curtailing writedowns. It would also help to stabilize IndyMac's loan quality and enable it to pare down its quarterly provisions for loan loss reserves. Unless any of those things happen, however, IndyMac and other troubled S&Ls like Washington Mutual ( WM) and Downey Financial ( DSL) are in trouble, putting the OTS is in a very difficult position. The regulator of the nation's approximately 815 federally chartered S&Ls has already seen the second-largest institution it supervised, Countrywide, acquired under duress by Bank of America ( BAC). And WaMu and Downey are both prime candidates for actions similar to IndyMac's.

Sutter Health/St. Luke's Affiliation Finalized
SACRAMENTO, Calif., July 16, 2001 - Officials of Sutter Health and San Francisco's St. Luke's Hospital will formalize the affiliation between the two organizations at a signing ceremony on July 17. The event signals the successful completion of the several-month-long affiliation process. On July 12, the Sutter Health Board of Directors approved the affiliation. The California Attorney General's Office gave its approval June 26 to St. Luke's request to become part of Sutter Health. St. Luke's becomes the 26th hospital in the not-for-profit Northern California-based Sutter Health network.
The affiliation ensures that St. Luke's, which is San Francisco's only private South-of-Market hospital, and which has struggled financially for many years, will remain a full-service hospital with a 24-hour emergency department open to the entire community. In addition, the Sutter network has pledged $55 million over a period of ten years to help expand and upgrade facilities and services at St. Luke's. Sutter Health will also undertake costs of a state-mandated seismic retrofit to meet earthquake standards. In their affiliation agreement, the two organizations committed to continue operating St. Luke's as a general acute care hospital with critical care as well as emergency services.
"Northern California has lost more than 40 hospitals in recent years, and no one wanted to see St. Luke's become part of that sobering statistic," said Sutter Health President and CEO Van R. Johnson. "Joining the Sutter Health network has helped more than two dozen of Northern California's finest hospitals and physician organizations protect and grow their programs and services. This affiliation represents another commitment to community benefit and the preservation of not-for-profit hospitals, and we're proud to welcome St. Luke's into our family."
Established in 1871, St. Luke's has earned a reputation for its service to San Francisco's low-income neighborhood residents, regardless of their ability to pay. Over 100,000 area residents signed petitions supporting the affiliation of St. Luke's with Sutter Health.

USA Triathlon takes over Milwaukee
Gallery: USA Triathlon takes over Milwaukee
The USA Triathlon Sprint National Championships were held downtown Milwaukee over the weekend, and the city witnessed nearly 5,000 athletes from every state in the nation on the lakefront, centered around the Milwaukee Art Museum and Discovery World.
Milwaukee drew the country's top triathletes in all age groups because the top 25 finishers in each age breakdown earned a spot for USA Triathlon's Team USA, an amateur group that will represents the country at various multisport world championship events.
On Sunday, Taylor Knibb bested Wausau's Dani Fischer by nearly two minutes in winning the 750-meter swim, 20-kilometer bike and 5-kilometer run in 1 hour, 2 minutes and 53 seconds. (Fischer was first in the female 25- to 29-year-old age group).
Mike Meehan won the men's division by finishing in 58:29, edging out Kevin Denny (58:47), raced their way to overall titles at the 2014 USA Triathlon Sprint National Championships, held Sunday as the closing event.
On Saturday, the lakefront was host to the USA Triathlon Super Sprint Series and the Olympic-Distance National Championships.
In the Super Sprint Series, Sara McLarty and Jarrod Shoemaker took the podium in winning a race of completed two continuous circuits of the same course, including a 325-meter swim, 4-kilometer bike and 1.5-kilometer run.
McLarty finished in 37:51 seconds to earn the win, 40 seconds ahead of Abby Geurink. Shoemaker won with a time of 33:19, five seconds ahead of Darr Smith.
In the Olympic-Distance competition, amateurs Heather Lendway and Steven Mantell beat out nearly 3,100 competitors over the course of a 1,500-meter swim, 40-kilometer bike and 10-kilometer run.
Lendway, the event's defending champion, won her second straight in 2:05:07. Fischer had another strong showing, finishing second in 2:05:35 and winning the 25-29 age group.
On the men's side, Mantell finished the course in 1:50:59 to beat out Madison's Mark Harms, who finished in 1:51:45. He also won the 35-39 age group, his sixth title in the group. Another Wisconsin native rounded out the top three as Middleton's James Burke checked in at 1:52:06.
The athletes in the top 25 this weekend will now go on to compete at the 2015 ITU World Championships in Chicago, as the traditional Olympic-distance and sprint triathlon world championships return to the U.S. for the first time since 2005.

A team of maritime heritage archaeologists from NOAA's National Marine Sanctuaries have discovered the shipwreck remains of the 1837 British whaling ship Gledstanes. The shipwreck was foundoff Kure Atoll within the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument during a month-long expedition to discover and document shipwrecks in monument waters.
At the end of the first exploratory dive of the day, the NOAA dive team discovered a pile of iron ballast and some chain. The ballast led to a trail into the dramatic topography of the reef where more artifacts were found scattered, including four massive anchors, iron ballast, cannons and cannon balls, a trypot.
"For years I have been coming up to Kure Atoll in hopes of searching for this particular shipwreck, but in the past we have been deterred by the weather and unworkable conditions," said Kelly Gleason, NOAA archaeologist for the Monument and mission leader. "This year, the Gledstanes was revealed to us, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the opportunity to share this wreck site and its story with the public."
"The story of the Gledstanes and her survivors is limited, but adds to the important legacy of shipwreck survival stories at Kure Atoll," said Hans VanTilburg, maritime heritage coordinator for NOAA's National Marine Sanctuaries' Pacific Islands Region. After the loss of their ship due to extremely rough seas, the crew launched the ship's small boats and made for the closest dry land — the small sandy island at Kure Atoll named Ocean Island. In a short time, the Gledstanes broke apart in the heavy surf. The crew salvaged what they could from their destroyed ship and set about fashioning a 38-foot vessel called the Deliverance.

The Gledstanes is the fourth whaling ship, and one of the oldest ships, discovered thus far in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, shedding further light on the major significance of 19th-century whaling heritage in this region.
The researchers aboard the NOAA ship Hi'ialakai will also make stops at French Frigate Shoals, Pearl and Hermes Atoll and Midway Atoll. The public can follow this month-long mission on the monument's Web site.
Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument is administered jointly by three co-trustees — the Department of Commerce, Department of the Interior and the State of Hawai'i — and represents a cooperative conservation approach to protecting the entire ecosystem. Co-trustee agencies in cooperation with the Office of Hawaiian Affairs manage the monument through the Monument Management Board. The Monument area includes the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Ecosystem Reserve, Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge/Battle of Midway National Memorial, Hawaiian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, Kure Atoll Wildlife Sanctuary, and Northwestern Hawaiian Islands State Marine Refuge.
NOAA understands and predicts changes in the Earth's environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and conserves and manages our coastal and marine resources.

I'm late to this thread, but I'd like to add another voice of support to
John's idea. This is an area where simplification would definitely reap
rewards for WG in the perceived "learning curve" of TMG. Folks who are
looking to buy "serious" genealogy software these days want to know they can
create sources reflecting their own preferences or following resources such
as "Evidence Explained". Although it certainly can be done under the current
system it is not user friendly. John's idea would also make it easier for
users to trade custom templates.
I have no idea if something like this could be implemented and be backwards
compatible, but I'd even be willing to have my old sources stay as they are
and have the added ability to create new ones under a simplified system.

Lotz: SBC proposal a 'triumph of ideology over doctrine'_12222203

Lotz: SBC proposal a 'triumph of ideology over doctrine'
By Trennis Henderson
WASHINGTON (ABP) -- A Southern Baptist proposal to end a 99-year-relationship with the Baptist World Alliance is a "triumph of ideology over doctrine," according to BWA General Secretary Denton Lotz.
"SBC doctrine is a call to unity among its churches," Lotz said. "Why then separate from the world of Baptists? In the end, it became a question of power and control and the desire of forcing Baptists of the world to fit into one particular mode or mold or interpretation of thinking. This is contrary to all Baptist understanding of the competency of the individual and of soul liberty!"
Lotz also questioned the study committee's claim that SBC leaders have failed to "secure a just forum" to air their concerns.
Noting that study committee members Morris Chapman, James Draper, Paul Presser and other Southern Baptist representatives have key leadership positions in BWA, Lotz said, "If you go through our members who chair key committees, I am questioned (by other BWA members) for having too many Southern Baptists in leadership positions.
"We're family," Lotz insisted. "You can't have your way all the time. ... We don't have a lockstep-like mentality where everyone has to repeat the same thing" about issues being discussed or debated.
Responding to the committee's charge of liberalism, Lotz said, "Of course, the BWA rejects categorically this false accusation of liberalism. It is sad that in the 21st century we use loaded terms to end discussion and to eliminate the thoughts and hearts of other people. It is a form of McCarthyism.
"Since the conservative resurgence (in 1979), BWA leadership has bent over backwards to accommodate the concerns of the present Southern Baptist leadership, but alas now to no avail." Looking to the future, Lotz said, "We, of course, will be very sad if indeed the Southern Baptist Convention in June withdraws from the Baptist World Alliance. I think it will be bad for the SBC and will further isolate their missions work overseas.
"I think it will make it more difficult for Southern Baptist missionaries," he added. "How will they relate to national conventions that are members of the Baptist World Alliance?
"Personally, I fear for the Southern Baptist Convention," Lotz said, "because this decision follows in a long line of other decisions that, I believe, will ultimately lead to the dissolution and self-destruction of the SBC."

he never took the baby alone , everytime he would see him it would only be with me there or my mother , he was born with some complications also he is verbally abusive to me, has threatened to kill himself and to kill me , i want to know if the courts would terminate his parental rights, he has never gaven me a penny for the baby
Typically a pure termination of parental rights can only be done in conjunction with a step-parent adoption, meaning that you would have to be remarried to someone who could adopt your child. A court can grant you sole parental responsibility and disallow any visitation, which would essentially accomplish the same thing.Ask a similar question
Thanks for your answer, i was never married to him and i am single so i guess it wouldnt apply to my case, what would be a reason for a court to deny visitation to him and to grant me sole custody, in 2 months we have our first hearing, i recently asked my lawyer to get my ex to agree on a temporary supervised visitation and my ex agreed, the first day that he was supposed to see our baby with my mother there he got there and hour late, when he carried our son he started crying because he isnt used to him so he started screaming at my mother infront of the baby because the baby doesnt know who he is and blaming , he didnt try to calm the baby down he didnt even bring the baby a toy ( it was his bday) within 4 min he got up and said i cant stand him crying, slammed the door and drove off in his car like a maniac, after this happened i now think he shouldnt even visit our child, the agreement was signed by a judge, is there anyway my lawyer can terminate the agreement until our hearing date?
