Provide New Computer Equipment for a Catholic - Orthodox News Agency in Russia
Monday, March 24, 2014
Project Code: 427-00-69
It is hard to love what we do not know. Ignorance can lead to misunderstandings, and misunderstandings in turn to problems that could have been avoided. A "dialogue in love and truth" between Catholics and Orthodox can only come about when the misunderstandings and prejudices on both sides that spring from such ignorance have been cleared away. To achieve this there is a need for objective information, information that is most easily spread via the modern media. Initially, such collaborative ecumenical media work was something quite new and consequently quite a challenge; but now, thanks to the commitment of the staff, both Orthodox and Catholic, who have together committed themselves to the service of this apostolate, it has become a firmly established institution that is helping to promote and give a voice to Christian values in society generally, as well as providing information within the various Christian communities that helps both sides towards a better mutual understanding. One such project is the ecumenical news agency Blagovest Info in Moscow. It provides balanced news coverage of a range of Christian subjects and has already made a name for itself both in Catholic and in Orthodox circles in Russia. Indeed, many other news agencies now refer to Blagovest Info when they report on the Catholic or Orthodox Church in Russia. In this way the agency has established itself as an important player within the Russian media landscape. Among other things it publishes exclusive interviews with senior Catholic and Orthodox figures. For example, Cardinal Kurt Koch gave an interview to the agency shortly after his appointment as President of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Unity among Christians.But now the agency's computers and other technical equipment are outdated, making its work more difficult. ACN has stepped in and promised $6,700 for the necessary new hardware. Will you join in supporting this joint Catholic-Orthodox news agency in Russia?Aid to the Church in Need commits to invest your funds where they will have the greatest impact for the Church that we serve. Funds donated to Aid to the Church in Need's projects will be used towards the greatest need in our programs to help keep the Faith alive.

You Should Read… (March 12, 2012)
As I believe educators should have some understanding of what is happening in the world of business, I spend a lot of my time checking out "non-educational" sites that share a lot of what is happening in the world and helps me to continuously look at developing the work I do. A few of the sites that I am going to share today may give you ideas for things that you will be able to do in your classroom. They may not be focused on education, but they can easily be transferred to the focus of learning.
1. The Rise of the Startup Video – I recently fell upon the Simply Zesty site and some of the links are simply for a good laugh, while some of the links really push some of the ideas of what we could be doing in the classroom. The video for "Dollar Shave Club" is quite humorous (all expletives are censored) and actually took a very simple idea, and with strong marketing, received 17,000 subscribers to the service.
One recipe includes humor, web marketing, a borrowed business model, and a heaping dose of creativity. DollarShaveClub.comlaunched last week, and in their first seven days they snagged over 17,000 paid subscribers. Their hilarious marketing video–produced for under $4,500–has been now seen by over 3 million people. (Fast Company)
Is this the type of activity we could be doing with our students? It would be great to have them not only come up with a product, but also develop the advertising to support it. Would this company have achieved the same results without the hilarity of the video and the immediate viral sharing that followed? I doubt it. There are some great skills in communication and entrepreneurialism that could be taught here.
2. Google Reader Bundle of 'Photo Blogs' – I am becoming more enamoured with photography blogs (I found some great ones from Tia Henriksen's Blog) and I wanted to share a bundle of ones that I look at. Visual representation and curation is becoming something more prominent on the web and I think there is some great learning for photographers, both new and old, from these sites, but also a lot of learning that can come from these types of blogs. They not only share visuals, but some of them actually review cameras, iPhone photography sites, while also creating categories for photos to be shared. If you have any interest, please feel free to subscribe to the blog.
3. Major League Baseball Releases It's Social Media Policy– As tweeting and Facebook become more of the mainstream consciousness, it is interesting to see how different leagues have reacted to both appropriate and inappropriate messaging done by their employees. Major League Baseball, understanding the power that social media has for fans to connect with seemingly untouchable players, braces a more open vision for their players:
While having a Social Media policy is important to protecting the interests of everyone involved in promoting the game, we hope that you will not view this policy as a blanket deterrent to engaging in social media. MLB recognizes the importance of social media as an important way for players to communicate directly with fans. We encourage you to connect with fans through Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms. Along with MLB's extensive social media activities, we hope that your efforts on social media will help bring fans closer to the game and have them engaged with baseball, your club and you in a meaningful way.
The article then goes onto list ten prohibitions for their players:
- Players can't make what can be construed as official club or league statements without permission;
- Players can't use copyrighted team logos and stuff without permission or tweet confidential or private information about teams or players, their families, etc.;
- Players can't link to any MLB website or platform from social media without permission;
- No tweets condoning or appearing to condone the use of substances on the MLB banned drug list (which is everything but booze, right?);
- No ripping umpires or questioning their integrity;
- No racial, sexist, homophobic, anti-religious, etc. etc. content;
- No harassment or threats of violence;
- Nothing sexually explicit;
- Nothing otherwise illegal.
Seems pretty simple and straightforward. Do schools have to go much further with their social media policies? Thoughts? Have a great week of learning with our students!

text: Gents Here are some photos of my latest big game adventures: This is my 4th season muley buck. Spent 4 out of the 5 days in this season running up and down the hills hunting before work with very little time off. Saw a boat load of does and a few small bucks but I decided 2 years ago Id rather eat a tag than shoot a young/small animal, and so the hunt rolled on. I spent the final day on a 5 mile deep canyon run with a good friend of mine and found nothing but lots of elk and mountain lion sign :shock: On the last hour of the last day I went back to check on a ranch I talked my way into this year, this ranch has always held lots of deer and a few big boys but the one big buck showed up one evening when I was at work. Of course the land owner called to let me know he WAS there until a road hunter atemped a poor poaching shot at him and scared him off. I was furious about the situation as he was the only "shooter buck" I was willing to pull the trigger on in that area. That evening I found a bigger buck than I had expected on said ranch but of course his back two tines were completely broken off and he was running with a monster 2x2 (as big a 2x2 gets) so I passed. My buddy suggested we drop down behind a ridge where the deer might go to get out of the wind and I agreed. But I had told him we needed to go glass a little valley with a creek bottom first because there had to be less wind there than anywhere else on the property. Sure enough not 5 minutes into the lower valley I found the above pictured buck, positioned my self for a shot...let the does clear and sent one through both shoulders! He is not the monster I was after but one I am satisfied with, he lost plenty of points from lack of mass and broken off eye guards but he was mature and will look good on the wall. I am as happy as can be for this buck and the time I got to spend in the woods. 1 day later I found my self on the road again headed east in persuit of archery white tails. This was my first year archery hunting, and my first year hunting white tails. With a TON of help from my best hunting partner Aaron Cohn I had set up 5 stands of my own and 7 or so of his earlier this summer. I felt confident in my stands, shooting capabilities and a tad nervous about bringing it all together. As the game works some buddies of ours were in one of our stands near by where I had a few 150"+ buck on trail cams and one of them managed to stick the big 10 I was after. :target: The first morning in the stand I didnt see much until I spotted a few does making their way down the bottom. I patiently waited with a good wind for the does to come pay a visit. Finally I had a mature doe feeding 18 yards from the stand as I nearly gave my self away from my excitment. I ranged her and let her keep coming but had to come to full draw because I was shaking so bad my arrow was bouncing off of my rest! :rotfl: As she looked up into the tree to check the comotion I sent one right down to her and dropped her in her tracks. The following day I sat a stand I knew had a bruiser 150+ buck in it, I saw him up on the ridge line chasing does on the edge of the corn. He passed by but would not come down into the bottom so I had to make moves, I ran the rattles and got him to drop down, hit the grunt tube and he came blazing down the trail. I stopped him at 22 yards at full draw and just couldnt pick a pin (funny part is my first pin is dead on out to 30 yards :bangin: ) I missed and off he went, I was pretty upset with my amateur move but I was having too damn good of a time away from work and in the woods. In order to relieve my self of the dissapointment I decided to fill another doe tag. Along came another white tail doe and fed 52 yards from my stand, as soon as she was in the clearing and comfortable in her surrounding I let one rip and put one through her. With in the next few days the bruiser came by again but traveled a trail that had too much brush, I had a momentary opportuinty but was not able to sneak one through the brush. I passed on quite a few 125" bucks though I would be a hipocrite if I were to shoot an immature buck, plus I didnt want to shoot myself out of a potential bruiser in the future. As I had these bucks at 3-30 yards and even walking under my stand licking the ladders I kept thinking "the hell with it, its my first white tail buck Ill just shoot one of these" but I couldnt bring myself to do it. Also I had drawn a mule deer doe tag in a lottery and still had that along with my buck tag. I sat in 60mph wind in the stand with no action when I saw 3 mule deer does about 100 yards away making their way to me! Then I heard "crack crack....BOOM" and a large tree fell 10 yards from the deer in high winds! :bangin: So I patiently froze my :arse: off with no deer moving when about 3 hours later I spotted the same 3 mule deer does comming my way again! I let them feed right down to my section because I was wary of shooting in such high winds, I got the does to about 15 yards, came to full draw and decided to let the large doe and fawn go, the medium size doe was quartering to me and I stuck one through the neck, behind the shoulder blade, down into the vitals, she jumped about 3 yards and rolled over dead. :cheers: I also managed to smack a doe at about 40mh with my truck with no option, I either hit the guard rail on the bridge or the deer.....so the deer had to go. I damn near destroyed the front end of my truck but made it out after pulling the bumper back out a few inches with a tow strap. I had one hell of a heart pounding, adrenaline packed hunt and couldnt be more thankful for the opportunities I had. Hats off to all the ranchers, farmers and Aaron for all the help! :cheers: The icing on the cake...I get back to CO and the birds are moving in, my blood pumps harder with every flock I see and cant wait to stack up the fowl! Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed :cheers: Also, this guy came by at about 5 yards but he has a couple years to grow into a 185"+ monster (he is def on track!) and getting a muley tag is a difficult mission.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/4/2014 (1237 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — The building was slow to empty and the lower bowl was scattered with folks in Winnipeg Jets jerseys celebrating the most hollow of victories Tuesday night.
The Winnipeg Jets defeated the Phoenix Coyotes 2-1 in a shootout to give the legions of their fans that made the trip something to smile about.
The win keeps the Jets playoff hopes alive but they are very slim at this stage and well beyond Winnipeg's control. They'll need a lot of help to avoid missing the post-season for the third straight year since the NHL returned to Manitoba.
Jets captain Andrew Ladd was one of the goats on Monday night in an overtime loss to the Anaheim Ducks but he was full value on Tuesday, scoring the Jets only goal in regulation and then popping the winner in the shootout by beating Coyotes goalie Thomas Greiss.
Winnipeg goalie Ondrej Pavelec stopped all but one Phoenix shot on the night, allowing a second- period goal by Zbynek Michalek but then running the table through overtime and the shootout.
Fans were all over Pavelec after Monday's collapse that saw him allow three third-period goals and then another in overtime but head coach Paul Maurice defended his goalie Tuesday morning when announcing he would be going back in the net.
"You have to go back and look at the game. He played a helluva game and made some huge saves for us in the third period," said Maurice.
"They had some fine scoring chances and he played well."
Maurice also argued that Pavelec wouldn't be tired and could handle the back-to-back games and he proved to be correct.
The Jets faced elimination from playoff contention had they lost in regulation.
Bouncing back
Maurice wanted to see how his team handled the sting of blowing a four-goal lead in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Anaheim Ducks.
"A loss with a lead is going to happen again. I'm worried about (Tuesday)," said Maurice prior to Tuesday night's game.
"And when I say worried, that's what our focus is. Put the list of adversity that we're facing coming in here tonight, and now we gotta learn how to handle that, learn how to be ready on a night where your body and your mind doesn't feel ready, you don't feel fresh. They're sitting for two days. They're feeling like they're right there in the playoffs, and we're feeling like we got run over by a truck. So that's what we're dealing with, and we gotta figure out a way to come out with that fight."
True North
Jets fans were out in full force with several thousand in attendance. When the Jets scored the opening goal, Jets jerseys popped up all over the building and it looked like half the folks in attendance were wearing Winnipeg gear. O Canada featured its ritual shouting of True North and it was one of the loudest road efforts of the season.

Wonderful Creatures
How Do Macaws Know Chemistry?
Some plants have poisonous seeds. This is an effective method of protection against enemies that try to eat them. Yet one parrot species living in America can feed on these poisonous seeds. This is really surprising because while other creatures cannot approach these seeds, these birds that continually eat them are not affected by them at all. You are curious about how this happens, aren't you?
How this parrot species called the macaw is not poisoned has attracted the attention of scientists too. Scientists observed macaws and witnessed a quite extraordinary pattern of behavior.
Having eaten these nutritious but poisonous seeds, macaws fly towards a rocky place. There they gnaw on and swallow some clay-containing rocks. This is not random behavior. Indeed, rocks that contain clay absorb the poison of the seeds. This is how the macaw can digest the seeds without being harmed by them.
How has this bird acquired the medical knowledge to diagnose the poisonous effect of the seeds? How does it know how to get rid of this poisonous effect? Could it possibly have had an education in pharmacy to know that a substance that neutralizes the effects of the poison is available in rocks that contain clay? Of course, not.
A human being could not tell whether a seed is poisonous or not by its appearance. He could not work out how to neutralize the effects of the poison. In order to be able to do that, he would have needed training or to have consulted people with such knowledge. This being the case, it cannot be claimed that a bird with no intellectual faculties might have discovered such a thing after long chemical analyses and study. It is not possible for macaws to acquire this knowledge, which can be learnt by human beings only after years of special training, by chance. All-Knowing Allah, Who creates everything perfectly, teaches macaws this knowledge.

Anniversary deal: Get MLB.TV for $12
MLB.TV is 12 years old, and you can join in the festivities today for one day only by subscribing to the MLB.TV Premium annual package for a special offer of 12 bucks for the remainder of the season to watch live out-of-market pennant-race games on the Major League Baseball schedule.
Millions of fans have relied on the Internet's most prolific live streaming service, and by joining them, you also will be able to watch every remaining live out-of-market game this regular season and, for the first time, the FOX feed of the entire World Series. One look at this special then-and-now birthday celebration will remind you just how much things have changed since the first live stream.
Yes, a dozen years and roughly 30,000 Major League games have gone into the books since that first live stream by MLB.com on Aug. 26, 2002. Derek Jeter played on that historic Monday afternoon, collecting his 1,391st and 1,392nd hits in a 10-3 Yankees victory at home over the Rangers, and he has seen the technology evolve before him.
"Sure, you have access now," Jeter said recently, when asked about MLB.TV. "Before, I remember growing up and we had the Cubs because they were on WGN. We had the Braves on TBS, and then you had to wait for that Game of the Week that came on. Now, I mean, you have access to every team every day if you want. I think it's a great thing for the fans."
Since its origin, MLB.com's evolution included delivery of HD streaming a remarkable five years ago, and it has become the most widely distributed and No. 1 sports streaming service. The longest-running service of its kind has continued to deliver for its loyal subscribers with new innovations every season, a key reason why nearly a quarter of its current subscribers have owned the product for at least the past six years or half of MLB.TV's lifespan.
Symbolic to MLB.TV being accessible across more than 400 supported mobile and connected devices, its subscribers have been watching live baseball games on an all-time high average of 2.7 devices this season. The profound impact of this multiplatform distribution model projects to be seen this month when MLB.TV subscribers again will make digital media history.
For the first time in August, MLB.TV projects to have the majority (51 percent) of its monthly live streams accessed via connected and mobile devices. That would be a first among live sports video products on the Internet.
"Having MLB.TV is a great thing for me, being the passion I have for baseball and the love I have for the game," said Mets legend Dwight Gooden. "Obviously, I'm a Met at heart, but there are a lot of teams I like to follow. I like to follow a lot of the young pitchers, so if I'm traveling or doing anything and can't get to my TV, I have my laptop right there where I can keep up with the game instead of waiting for it to come on with the postgame stuff. I get the live action right there."
"It's cool, because it's kind of anywhere you go, you've got it right there," said country music star Jason Aldean, a Braves fan who uses his MLB.TV Premium subscription during the ongoing "Burn It Down" tour. "You can be walking down the street and pull it out and be watching on your phone. It comes in real handy during playoff time, too. That's when it gets really good to have."
This is a great opportunity to experience it like him now, because a subscription to MLB.TV Premium will allow you to watch any live out-of-market game from anywhere, via the highest-grossing sports app ever, MLB.com At Bat. Immediate payoffs include:
There is no better way to keep a close eye on the playoff picture than by MLB.TV, which lets you watch up to four games simultaneously and toggle seamlessly from one game to another.
"I know my family uses it a lot to stream the games, through the computer and what-not," Pirates reliever Mark Melancon said. "It's been a blessing for my parents to be able to see me at any point in time, basically. My wife at home, she loves it. It's great. I'm glad the technology has come that far, and Major League Baseball has used that technology."
With MLB.TV, MLB was the first sport league to stream its entire season (2003); first to wire its venues for TV-quality streaming (2005); first to use adaptive bit-rate streaming (2008); first to stream live 720p HD video (2009); first to stream live games/subscription product to iPhone (2009); first live video on connected devices (2009); first to stream live video to a gaming console (2010); first live games embedded on Facebook and Twitter (2011); and first to make a live video stream embeddable to any site on the Internet (2013).
From its outset with 30,000 viewers for that Rangers-Yankees experimental stream, MLBAM has been a pioneer along the trail of live video subscription products on the Internet. Next January at CES, MLBAM will be recognized by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) with the Emmy Award for Technology and Engineering in the category of "Pioneering Delivery of Pay TV Linear Video to Consumer Owned and Managed Devices Over a High Speed Data Connection."

DETROIT - It is an unlikely pairing, a rocker and a friar, but that's who is teaming up to help some of metro Detroit's less fortunate.
Dick Wagner, a rock guitarist, composer and producer who has worked with renowned artists including Alice Cooper, Lou, Reed, Aerosmith and Kiss, wrote an anthem for Detroit.
It's called Motor City Music and Wagner said it pays tribute to the music of Detroit including Bob Seger, Steve Wonder, Mitch Ryder and Motown. Wagner is a Detroit native.
Watch: Motor City Music video
However, Wagner, 70, didn't just want to record a single, he wanted to use the song to help give back to the city he loves.
"I just don't like hearing b.s. about Detroit as being this hopeless city of crazy people and drug addicts and burn-out buildings," said Wagner. "Detroit is full of people with heart and pride and they love this city. I love this city too."
Wagner recorded Motor City Music at Harmonie Park Studios in Detroit. He is long-time friends with owners Brian and Mark Pastoria.
"When Dick called me and said, 'I've got this great song that I just wrote and it's about Detroit music and I want to record it and do a single, but I don't want to do it to just make a record and put a record out. I want to tie it to a charity,' and so, we thought that hooking him up with Brother Al, because he was a musician, because he was in Detroit, and he was on the streets that it was just a natural tie-in, " said Brian Pastoria.
Brother Al Mascia is a Franciscan friar. He created the Song and Spirit Careavan, a mobile ministry that travels across metro Detroit helping those in need.
Local 4 first introduced you to Brother Al last year when he was doing his bicycle cart ministries.
Brian and Mark Pastoria have been helping out Brother Al for a long time, including lending him the kitchen of their U Detroit Cafe to prepare and store food. They saw Wagner's idea as an opportunity to help Brother Al keep his mobile ministries going.
Pastoria introduced Wagner to Brother Al and the relationship to help others was formed.
"For me, if I can take this music and have it have some meaning, and raising money for him, then that's my purpose," said Wagner.
Brother Al thinks it's wonderful.
"You never know what the, your, the next angel in your life is going to look like and the fact that this angel came in the form of a rock star, I think, is pretty cool," said Brother Al.
With the Song and Spirit Careavan, Brother Al goes to wherever he is needed providing snack packs, gloves, pajama packs and lending an ear to listen to those who are hurting. He hopes to take it to places others might miss and connect with people who have fallen through the cracks of the system.
"We hope to do patrols with the careavan and drive around and look for those more solitary individuals, those who may be in, in a state of crisis at night, who for whatever reason didn't make it into a shelter or for whatever reason are,, it could be due to mental illness, it could be due to addictions, whatever, could benefit from having a warm place to step into momentarily and and engage with human beings who might be able to help them avoid something terrible happening to them," said Brother Al.
Pastoria is proud to know Brother Al and to be a part of his ministry.
"Brother Al's commitment to the less fortunate, whether it's in downtown Detroit or in Ferndale or Warren or wherever, there's, there's so many people in need," said Pastoria.
Wagner wants the proceeds from Motor City Music to help pay to keep Brother Al's ministries moving around metro Detroit.
"I'm hoping that it makes it easier for him to get the goods that he needs to hand out to people," said Wagner.
Brother Al is grateful to Wagner for what he is providing. He was at Harmonie Park Studios when the Motor City Music video was filmed. Several other musicians donated their talents and time to the song and Brother Al. They include Jim McCarty, Ray Goodman, Prakash John, Johnny Bee Badanjek, Jimmie Bones, Robert Wagner, Ty Stone, Muruga and Gary Jones.
Pat Lewis, a famed Motown background vocalist was also part of the recording.
Motor City Music is available digitally including on iTunes, cdbaby.com, and Amazon.com.

Hi all,
I have skills in electronics and programming and I'm 46 years old so I've been doing those for a long time. I'd like to help others with my knowledge, can you tell me how I can use FrontlineSMS to do that?
Greet to you all members,
I'm trying to test frontlinesms: I wanted to see to connect and share with my colleagues who are involve in peace building across the world.
Hello Everyone,
I have successfully used FrontlineSMS for the development of a Educational system using JSP. Using the system, Students can communicate with each other in an easier and faster way. If anyone needs help related to the use of FrontLineSMS for receiving and sending SMS using JSP, then please let me know. My email id is email@example.com
Rahul Matkar.
A local telco provisions this at a premium of about $1, that is a lot of money in this part of the world.
I need know if frontlinesms can handle "gazillion" keywords
Hi Olapo, great idea! However, I believe Google may offer this service already at shortcode 466453
define meagre
I'm not sure about its international availability, it may be worth a test to see?
Hi Everyone,
Its a good feeling discovering fronlinesms, such a powerful tool I must say plus its FREE-opensource
I am looking to deploy frontlinesms in Education, the ubiquity of the mobile phones(basic phones) should drive this project to success
This project is what I call smsDictionary; a situation where you can send a word you want to look up in a dictionary as the "keyword" to a mobile number and get an sms back containing the meaning of the word like almost in real time; best for commuting hours when one has no access to to a dictionary and/or internet to look up words.
<Meagre> to 08020111111
<mea·ger adj. Deficient in quantity, fullness, or extent; scanty>
The reply would be made as basic as possible 'cos of SMS character limit. This may no be as comprehensive though, but sure will go a long way in helping to look up words' meaning as quick as possible when it matters most.
I need some clarify on whether this can be implemented using frontlinesms

THE best and brightest of Buckinghamshire's business world were celebrated last night in a glittering awards ceremony in Aylesbury.
The cream of the county's entrepreneurs were celebrated with 11 different categories in the Buckinghamshire Business Award 2014.
Taking the coveted Company of the Year award at the black-tie event was the Global Infusion Group, based in Chesham, which was already riding high last night after earlier winning the Exporter award.
The business, which has also recently won a Queens Award for Enterprise in International Trade, focuses on 'catering, logistics and brand support'. Formed 30 years ago, the business had expanded into a global operation with offices in the US, the Middle Ears and Asia.
Originally launched in 1984 as 'Eat to Beat' – an artist, production and crew catering business specialising in backstage catering services for music, entertainment, film and TV industries, including festivals like Glastobury and Reading – the company has catered many of the biggest names in the entertainment world.
A statement from the firm said the Company of the Year Award was "a category we're very proud of winning, to be recognised by our peers and fellow business leaders for meeting the needs of our clients providing them with the best care possible".
Other winners included Amersham-based Isagi, which took the Innovative Business crown. The firm manufactures and distributes a unique, patented anti-slip material used in a variety of products such as bath mats.
Brendan O'Sullivan Hair and Beauty, also based in Amersham, took the best Apprentice Employer award for its innovative apprenticeship scheme.
Global information provider CoCredo, based in Great Missenden won the Small Business award.
Wycombe-based public relations firm Cerub PR, meanwhile, took the Bill Bendyshe-Brown Award, which recognises the achievements and excellence of small to medium sized enterprises in the Wycombe District.
Other winners from the south Bucks area included Medical Supermarket, a one-stop shop for healthcare based in Marlow, for Excellence in Customer Service, and the historic Stoke Park estate in Stoke Poges, for Leisure, Tourism and Hospitality.
Master of Ceremonies for the evening was Alex Pratt, chairman of Buckinghamshire Business First, who paid tribute throughout the night to the importance of the business community to Bucks, "the entrepreneurial heart of the country".
He paid tribute to the high calibre of this year's entries, noting how difficult it had been to choose the winners. He added: "This is a serious business community and a serious place to win an award."
This year's trophy – an elegant swan design – was created by Buckinghamshire New University student Verena Boehm. Her work was chosen from design submissions by six BNU students.

One of the reasons I love my WSM is it function great as set & forget smokers!
Put on, get vents set & come home from work 9 hours later & temp is within 15 F of when you left!
After two smokes, I thought I'd try a "set & forget" cook on CGK, ( if wont do set & forget do I really want it ?)
Cooking 7 lb pork butt.
Loaded with 8 lbs of Royal Oak briquittes & 3 big chunks apple.
Got loaded up temp went to 350F before put meat on( no I didn't plan, it gets hot quik)
got settled in at 250 F @ 8:00AM.
Temp ranging between 250 F &270F depending on whether the sun is shining on cooker.
Pulled the butt @195F after a little more than 8 hours.
Got home from work & watched temp this afternoon with adult beverages & Stevie Nicks.
Temps mainly about 260F but short spike to 290F when wood chunk ignited.

TOLEDO -- Black is the new hot color for an Ohio-based company that makes glass bottles.
Owens-Illinois Inc. says it's increasing its black-glass production capabilities at its plants worldwide to meet higher demand.
The company with headquarters in suburban Toledo says beer, wine, and liquor makers are increasingly asking for black-colored bottles. An Owens-Illinois executive tells The Blade newspaper in Toledo that black glass projects a premium image.
The company says it now has 19 different black bottle products, while it just had a handful four years ago.
MillerCoors brewing company is using the company's jet black bottles for its new Miller Fortune premium beer. The brewer says it was looking for something unique to launch its new beer.

text: Back to list Monday, December 16, 2013 - 9:00 AM The Transition Ride Is Here THE TRANSITION RIDE IS HERE Meinl Cymbals Introduces the Byzance 21" Mike Johnston Signature Transition RideNew in Meinl's Byzance Extra Dry Series is the 21" Transition Ride, Mike Johnston's signature cymbal. Both Mike's and Meinl's goal was to create a cymbal that can effortlessly transition from articulate sticking to a wide open and tonally fuller crash-ride function (and back) while never losing the stick definition. The result is a multi-puprose ride cymbal with a versatile sound."We have been working on the sound for Mike's ride now for almost one and a half years," explains Meinl's international artist relations manager Norbert Saemann. "Mike has let his online community be part of the development and the feedback we got from them was very encouraging. We're glad and honored to present the Transition Ride and hope that it will find many fans around the world."The Transition ride has an unlathed and slightly polished top for clear sticking and a present but not overpowering bell. The bottom is lathed and polished to a brilliant finish which allows the ride to move through various dynamic levels with control over the degree of clarity and level of wash. "I've always wanted a ride that would have amazing tone and stick definition when played on top and would also swell into a beautiful crash as I began to open up and bash," says Mike Johnston about his signature Meinl cymbal. "The transition Ride does exactly that. One of my favorite things about playing it is how quick the decay is when your done bashing and ready to play something that requires intense clarity. Being able to seamlessly transition between riding and crashing makes this a massively versatile cymbal. The bell on The Transition ride is also very special. It was designed to sound like a belled version of the actual ride. When playing the bell, the rest of the cymbal is activated and a smooth shimmer start to support your sound."

I'm a madwoman for savory desserts. Don't skimp on the salt with my sweets.
This olive gelato dessert at Uchiko hit the spot like soft serve and french fries never did, and it's classier too. This is a hybrid of desserts by Philip Speer (executive pastry chef and culinary director of Uchi and Uchiko) and Andy Lewish (Uchiko's pastry chef).
First, they form the slightly briny and earthy olive gelato into a disc and lay it on top of the warm, freshly torched lemon curd. Crushed candied Marcona almonds deliver crunch. To compliment the gelato's distinct flavor, they pair it with a bittersweet chocolate ganache to bring sweetness and depth. For an extra punch of olive, the pastry chef dusts olive powder on top.
They tested this dessert out as a special but luckily it's now a staple on their the regular menu, priced at $9.

I think that that is a B. soroeensis, but it's hard to tell from that picture.
I thought that B. sorrenensis (spelling ?) was a rare / uncommon species.
So, I agree, try to get a better photo !
Yes, they seem to be most recorded in the North of Scotland, so if it is one then you're lucky!
Thanks Guys - I have another photo but it's blurred - I thought it might have been Barbuts Cuckoo but not sure - Will keep an eye out and hopefully see again. (I'm a flower farmer and have four acres of garden that I'm in all day so see plenty!)

Topic: My successful story so far...
..... in Sydney Australia.
I was diagnosed with CC in October 2009. I had a successful resection in November 2009 where my cancerous common bile duct and gall bladder were removed, but a few lymph nodes were found to have cancer cells.
I completed six months chemo-therapy from February to July 2010, where I had Cisplatin and Gemcitabine.
A post chemo CT scan found no cancer cells, but I do understand that I have a fair way to go. I will have six monthly CT scans for the next four years, to moniter my progress. And my understanding is that after five years, the cancer would be said to be in remission.
I just wanted to put this post up, to give patients and loved ones good news and hope. I also wanted to thank the supportive, caring people who keeps this site going for the benefit of everyone who is affected by CC.
In praising the people who keeps this site going, I don't want to individually name names, as I don't want to offend anyone that I may miss. However, I do wish to thank Janet (Magic) from NSW Australia for her just being on this site. I am a bit biased as she is a local Aussie, but I have read some of her posts of how she first got onto this site and how she was encouraged to stay on to support others.
My mother had a knee surgery last week Janet, to replace one of her old ones. So best wishes to you for your knee surgery.
As it is often said, knowledge is empowering which is why I am thankful for this site, but also the people on here are just so supportive and caring.
Prayers and best wishes to you all.

Woodbridge looked to running back Austin DeFreitas on Friday night to earn a spot in the CIF-Southern Division football playoffs.
DeFreitas came through, scoring four touchdowns and rushing for a school record 309 yards on 30 carries to lead the Warriors to a 35-7 Pacific Coast League victory over Irvine at Irvine Stadium.
"I have to give it up to our line, and Austin and our receivers blocked very well," Woodbridge coach Rick Gibson said. "We got conservative in the second half, because we just wanted the clock to run."
Woodbridge (5-5, 3-2) advances to the playoffs as third-place team while Northwood, which defeated Woodbridge earlier in the season, goes as the No. 2 team.
Woodbridge plays at Westminster while Northwood hosts Rancho Alamitos on Friday.
Irvine (5-5, 2-3) needed to win on its homecoming night to have a chance at advancing to the playoffs.
Beckman had the edge over Irvine as an at-large entry since it defeated Irvine in the league opener. Beckman earned the at-large berth and faces Garden Grove Friday night in Garden Grove.
"We knew we had to win to go to CIF, and we came out with that intensity (knowing) that this could be our last game," DeFreitas said. "The linemen did great."
DeFreitas broke the Woodbridge school record of 299 yards rushing held by Shane Harris in 1998.
DeFreitas scored on touchdown runs of 3, 13 and 60 yards in the first half, helping the Warriors move out to a 28-7 halftime lead.
Woodbridge also executed a fake punt for a touchdown when quarterback and punter Matt Callahan connected with Tyler Noble on an 86-yard scoring strike in the second quarter.
"That was not called, but that's something that we practice," Gibson said. "Matt pulled the trigger on it. It was Matt's call."
DeFreitas capped a big night with an 86-yard TD run in the fourth quarter.
Irvine was victimized by four turnovers. The Vaqueros' only score came when Gary Renteria scored on a 7-yard TD run in the second quarter.
Irvine also had a chance to score late in the first half when it advanced the ball to the Woodbridge 1-yard line. But quarterback Ryan Goodman was stopped at the goal-line with 14 seconds left.
"We got down early and I think that just kind of set the tone," Irvine coach Erik Terry said. "If you look at the second half, it was 7-0. We played pretty well in the second half. We got big mistakes early and got in a hole and had a hard time climbing out of it.
"That's what happens in these games sometimes. The emotion played into it. I think we didn't do a good job of settling our guys down prior to the game and it's unfortunate because this a great team that we have. It's unfortunate it had to end like this."

Low Price Hotel In Dubai
Simply Hotels have 527 hotels in Dubai.
See all Low Price Hotel In Dubai
Over the last decade, Dubai rose from being a fairly quiet city in the desert to one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. After years of massive investment in world-class infrastructure, with monumental building projects (the likes of which the world had never seen before), this stunning city is now a beacon of the modern world in one of the most unlikely areas imaginable. With the highest number of immigrant inhabitants in the world, it's clear that Dubai is a global city, where millions of foreigners arrive every year to find out what all the fuss is about. With the tallest buildings in the world, a vibrant nightlife, shopping that can rival any other city, and some of the most luxurious restaurants and bars you're ever likely to find, Dubai is certainly somewhere not to miss. Admittedly, the city's popularity has waned in the last couple of years since the economic crisis started to hit its construction industry, but nothing has really changed, with the lavish lifestyles and bustling city ambience still ever present.
Use Simply Hotels to search and compare prices on Low Price Hotel In Dubai.
Dubai Districts and Popular Destinations
Dubai is split into several districts, each with their own characteristics and reasons to visit. For example, Satwa is one of the most popular areas of the city because of its gold markets and shopping potential, while Karama is well-known for its cheaper restaurants and stores. No trip to Dubai would be complete without a trip to the Burj Khalifa, world-renowned as being the world-tallest building. With 160 floors and at the staggering height of 828 metres, you won't be surprised to find out that it's one of the most popular tourist destinations in the city. Head to the observation deck on the 124th floor for a stunning view of the city, but you'll almost certainly have to book tickets in advance. Another popular destination is The Dubai Fountain, which holds beautiful displays in the evening, while the Burj al-Arab hotel holds the envious title of being the only 7 star hotel in the world, and is well worth a visit if you want true luxury (even if for just a few hours). The beaches in Dubai are of unparalleled beauty and are sure to attract you as soon as you arrive, whilst if water-sports are a favourite activity of yours, you'll be in heaven.
Shopping in Dubai
As mentioned earlier, Dubai is one of the best shopping cities in the world, with vast markets and incredibly competitive prices. Unfortunately, as the foreign exchange markets have made the country's currency (the Dirham) much stronger, some of the bargains available have been lost, and western stores are generally more expensive in the city than they would be domestically. However, the markets and electronics stores are where the real magic happens. Electronics are as cheap as you'll find them around the world, while gold and textiles are Dubai's true specialty, with a vast selection and competitive prices.
Eating Out in Dubai
Street food is popular in Dubai, so you'll have no problem finding cheap meals whenever you need them. Equally, the westernized nature of the city means you'll be able to find just about any western chain restaurant scattered around the city. But if you're looking for something a little bit more special, Dubai is home to some exquisite restaurants. Many of the world-class hotels have fantastic restaurants, while a little bit of research will uncover some true gems.
Nightlife in Dubai
Dubai is a fast-paced city these days, and it has developed a nightlife in that vein. However, it's important to understand the strong restrictions regarding alcohol that should be obeyed stringently. You'll generally only find alcohol on sale at bars and nightclubs in hotels, while it's completely illegal to drink in public. If you're ever in doubt, simply ask someone at your hotel or wherever you are, they will be able to help.
Low Price Hotel In Dubai
Most of the hotels advertised for Dubai are very large luxury 5 and 6 star hotels, however if your budget doesn't stretch to this don't let this put you off as you can find a huge range of Dubai hotels from 2 to 6 stars. If you have a smaller budget and stay in a 2 to 4 star Dubai hotel it would still be a better quality hotel than the equivalent grade in other cities.
It doesn't matter why you are traveling to Dubai – maybe you're going on a business trip, travelling with your partner, as a couple or for a family holiday, there are many places in Dubai to stay for one night or for a full month. We recommend booking a hotel for shorter visits and renting a holiday apartment if you are going to stay for a longer period.
Some people are only staying in Dubai for a very short time, perhaps just one night to do business or on a stopover during their long haul flight. This doesn't mean you should miss out – you can still browse the latest technology and gadgets, there are lots of airport hotels offering stopovers for people on the move. Even Dubai business hotels near the airport with first class facilities for quick meetings.
So no matter your reasons for travelling you will be sure to find Low Price Hotel In Dubai and have a great visit.
As with all hotels (or any type of accommodation) in every city, there are no booking fees with Simply Hotels. Booking fees are expensive and avoidable. We compare prices of Low Price Hotel In Dubai and show you how much it would be to book. We will also show you if that company has a booking fee so you can choose the cheapest way to book your hotel or accommodation.
Dubai is a fantastic place to visit, with most tourists arriving just for a quick break before moving on to other nearby destinations. But no matter what your intentions, it is sure not to disappoint.

Gaëtan Henri Alfred Edouard Léon Marie Gatian de Clérambault (July 2, 1872, Bourges – November 17, 1934) was a French psychiatrist.
De Clérambault gained his thesis in 1899. In 1905 he became assistant physician at the special infirmary for the insane, Prefecture de Police. From 1920 he was head of this institution. Apart from his psychiatric studies, he was an acclaimed painter and wrote on the costumes of various native tribes. He was also a professional photographer, and is remembered for a large quantity of photographs taken in Morocco of its populace. These photos were later placed in the Musée de l'Homme, and in 1990 exhibited at the Pompidou Center in Paris. For a period of time Clérambault conducted classes at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts.
For his actions during World War I, de Clérambault was awarded with a cross of the Légion d'Honneur as well as the Croix de guerre.
He committed suicide by firearm on November 17, 1934 in Malakoff, a commune southwest of Paris.[1]
He is remembered for his studies in psychotic symptomatology, developing a theoretical system in which the understanding of fundamental characteristics of psychotic symptoms were linked with a description of alleged underlying neural processes. These neural processes would then be defined in terms of aberrant behaviors of neural connectivity. Clérambault provided a thorough taxonomy of psychotic symptoms based on subtle traits and nuances, which he arranged in a complex system of categories, subcategories, groups and subgroups, with the main categories including sensory, mental and motor phenomena. Ultimately, all the categorized symptoms could be defined by a single, common characteristic; their autonomous and automatic nature. The psychotic symptoms were then referred to as "automatisms".
Clérambault believed that automatisms can happen in the context of normal, or during subnormal thinking processes when the nervous system is challenged. Therefore in the context of automatisms, the boundaries of psychotic and normal functionality are redefined.
Famously, the French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan attributed his 'entry into psychoanalysis' as largely due to the influence of de Clérambault, whom he regarded as his 'only master in psychiatry'.
Associated syndromesEdit
- de Clérambault's syndrome; (also called erotomania) a condition in which a person becomes deluded that a certain person of higher social status is in love with them. Described by de Clérambault in his publication of Les Psychoses Passionelles in 1921.
- Kandinsky-Clérambault syndrome; a confusing clinical entity in which the patient believes his mind is being controlled by someone else or external forces. Named along with Russian physician Victor Khrisanfovich Kandinsky (1849-1889).

Not only that, we're also giving delegates 50 'reasons to be creative' as we're running a competition to give away 50 Adobe bean bags during the conference. All you have to do to enter, is tweet us on @AdobeUK telling us what inspires your creativity – and make sure you include the #reasonsto hashtag.

It's midnight and the ball is about to descend upon Times Square, but you look around and that special someone to kiss is nowhere to be found. "Alone again this year," you think to yourself, and then a bomb goes off in your mind, igniting an avalanche of other panicked thoughts as you reflect upon the year: "I thought he was the one!" or "I can't believe I'm single again!" or "What did I do wrong!" or "I wonder if he's with her tonight!"
If your love life wasn't what you thought it would be in 2013, don't despair. Too often, we feel pressured to have our lives in perfect order on New Year's Eve, complete with a killer sparkly sequined dress at an over-hyped party and someone to kiss at midnight. When the fireworks don't go off as planned, we're left feeling unsatisfied and disappointed. But this is not what ringing in a new year is all about. Instead, it's a time for renewal, rebirth and new beginnings.
A few years ago, I found myself single on New Year's Eve, newly separated from my boyfriend and in the depths of despair. I was drained of all my emotional energy and completely disconnected from myself. I needed a new beginning and a new relationship – with myself and eventually, a new boyfriend. Obsessing over what went wrong and forever mourning my failed relationship only made me feel depressed, not motivated to move on. So instead, I wrote myself a list of resolutions based upon the love lessons I learned.
Read The 12 Dates of Christmas
When I started to take my own advice, I immediately felt stronger and more competent because I had created my own roadmap. When I felt brave enough to date again, I used my list to navigate my journey on the road to love. It's helped me to remember where I've been, what I've learned, how resiiant I can be and what I want (and don't want) for my future. I've kept my list handy throughout the years, adding to it as needed, and smiling to myself as I re-read each lesson. Though some lessons aren't applicable anymore, some I still need to remember.
If you want to move forward in 2014, take the time to empty your heart and soul of all the negative energy from your relationships passed. When you make your New Year's resolutions, instead of lamenting over things gone wrong, write down the lessons you've learned so you can move forward. Make a point to start 2014 with a fresh, positive outlook and an open heart to welcome all that the new year has to offer. Here's my list to get you started.

From now on, GDP figures in the UK will be watched with more than usual interest, because Britain is embarking upon the most significant fiscal tightening among the G7 nations. Can the economy withstand it?
Today's GDP statistics for the third quarter, which show that the economy is growing at an annualised rate of 3.2 per cent, were much stronger than expected, and suggest that the economy is in better shape than many economists had predicted as the government is launching its fiscal retrenchment. However, the composition of the data is somewhat less encouraging than the picture painted by the headline figures. Read more

It's January and time to jumpstart your marketing. If you are
not sure where to focus your efforts, a good place to start is to
conduct a self audit. Here is the version I use with my
clients. I try to revisit it once a quarter with each
coachee. But the new year is a great place to start. Not
everyone will do everything on this checklist. But going through
the process of self reflection is a good way to focus on what IS
working and what is NOT.

Last week, researchers at King's College London made headlines around the world by declaring there is "no physiological or physical basis" for the so-called G-spot, after having quizzed 1,804 female twins about their sex lives. The news irked Santa Fe therapist Alice Kahn Ladas, co-author of the 1981 book The G Spot, which popularized "this often misunderstood female erogenous zone."
SFR: To be clear, when we're talking about the G-spot…
AKL: We're talking about prostatic tissue that surrounds the urethra. Like prostatic tissue in a male, it can be sensitive and pleasure-giving. It's clear to me that people have never read the book. The G-spot, it says on the internet here, is in the vagina. We clearly said it's not in the vagina. It can be palpated through the vagina, but not unless a woman's aroused. And even [then], a lot of women have breasts that are not sensitive, other women have breasts that are—It's the same with the G-spot.
Why do you think this is still being argued about?
People are very interested in sex. Why they did this recent study, I don't know—but it's a goofy study, because even if you take identical twins, they're unlikely to have the same lover. And whether the G-spot is reached during intercourse depends on the position—the angle of the dangle—and a woman's experience. Besides, they were only asking; they weren't examining.
You think the researchers were just trying to get a headline?
The publicity is probably good for the book. Most people your age don't even know that it was a book that started the whole thing. I'll tell you the story: When I was a young woman, women were told they were immature if they relied on their clitoris for pleasure, and needed to transfer their erotic center of interest to the vagina. This was the Freudian dictum. The sex researchers came along, beginning with [Alfred] Kinsey, who tested the sensitivity of the clitoris with a Q-tip.
That's not very efficient.
[Laughs] No. I was on the board of a neo-Freudian organization and a sex therapy organization. One believed only the vagina mattered and the other believed only the clitoris mattered.
So this was an academic turf battle.
It still is! …So, my husband and I gave women a chance to express themselves anonymously. I [took the resulting study] to a meeting of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality and met my
co-authors. The first publisher offered us $10,000. The second offered us $124,000. It became a best seller. It's now in 18 languages in 29 countries—but it's not allowed in mainland China.
Tell me how your research was done.
I did not do the research. Beverly Whipple and John Perry did the research with a group of lesbian women in Florida.
Why lesbians?
I'm not sure. My role was to see the connection—there was a vaginal orgasm, there was a clitoral orgasm, but they're not exclusive. This whole business of 'you have to find the G-spot' is silly. Being able to communicate, to enjoy your body—that's important. Whether your trigger point is your nose, your ear, your nipple or your clitoris is less important.
More often the clitoris than the nose, right?
Yeah, but you'd be surprised at the amount of fetishes around.
It's astonishing that after tens of thousands of years, we're just getting around to this.
The ancient Greeks knew about it; the Hindus knew about it—but in our puritanical culture, this stuff got suppressed. The first person to write about it in modern medical literature was Ernst Gräfenberg, a German OBGYN, and that's why it's called the G-spot.

It has been a busy summer here. A few of the highlights below.
The Nurse Anesthesia Program students had the opportunity to assimilate the concepts and theories related to crisis resource management and gain an understanding of the thought processes and approaches to managing crisis situations in anesthesia during their July summer sim sessions. Each student had the opportunity to experience and manage a crisis situation that could occur in the operating room setting.
This summer Blewett 241, 242 and 107 have been a construction site as Blewett Hall has undergone a facelift. New windows have been installed and today, this massive project is nearly complete. Despite the construction activity, we were able to conduct our business with little interruption and appreciate the positive impact that our new energy efficient windows will have on our environment.
Ryan and Cynthia welcomed special visitors from India, Dr. M.S. Moodithaya and Dr. S.Y. Kulkarni, for a tour of the Clinical Simulation Program simulation labs. Professor Kaushik (KASH) Dutta has developed a relationship between these delegates from Nitte University and UNE and is exploring potential partnerships in multiple areas.
Ryan has been busy this summer learning and tweaking the many systems that he is responsible for. One project of note was upgrading the audio video system in our Blewett 107 debriefing classroom.
Our simulation family welcomes a visiting simulator "Bodyless Bob." He is the first of many dental simulators that will be acquired as part of a dental education program sponsored by UNE and generously supported by TD Bank, The Betterment Fund and Bangor Savings Bank. The program is aimed at helping young people learn about dental careers.
Pediatric Hal went on a summer vacation, of sorts. We sent him to Florida for repairs and we welcome him back along with returning faculty and students. We are all anticipating another busy fall here in the clinical simulation labs and look forward to collaborating with our creative faculty to develop new and exciting simulation experiences for our health professions students. Welcome back all!

A 2005 study conducted by motivational author Stephen Shapiro showed that only 45 percent of Americans make New Year's resolutions and, of those, a full quarter never follow through. Only 8 percent achieve their resolutions every year. A more recent study conducted in Britain by the insurance company Sheilas' Wheels found that six out of 10 resolution makers abandon their New Year's pledges within six days.
This year, SFR pledges not to be discouraged by questionable surveys by motivational speakers and insurance companies. Instead, we toast these local figures who agreed to share their goals for 2009.
Luis Sánchez
co-founder, Santa Fe Scooter Club
"Well, my New Year's resolution is, as a motorcycle and scooter enthusiast, I really wanna visit racetracks around the country. There's a little racetrack in Albuquerque, but once you go around that thing six or seven times, it starts getting kinda old. You know, there's a track in Pueblo, Colo.; there's a track in Deming that's really good. Who knows, maybe I'll go to California and visit some of those world-class facilities. I might get crazy and take a road trip."
Sarah Flori
owner, Aztec Café
"If I was going to have a New Year's resolution, it would be that 2009 is way better than I could ever have expected."
Later, via Facebook: "Can I change my resolution to something a little less dorky and something a little more attainable? I resolve to take my dog, Papette, for more walks in the forest…She is a Taos mutt…part coyote, part shepherd and chow, maybe? She is the best. She used to come to work with me every day when dogs were allowed places in Santa Fe."
Brian Egolf
incoming state representative, D-Santa Fe
"I usually don't do resolutions, honestly, but I think a good one is to make each day better than the last. [Regarding the Legislature] I would resolve to always mean what I say and say what I mean."
John Grubesic
outgoing state senator, D-Santa Fe
Via e-mail: "I am going to try and forget the last four years."
Chris Diestler
manager, True Believers Comics & Gallery
"I would say that if I was going to make a New Year's resolution, it would probably be to actually get off my lazy ass and draw more comics. I've got a logjam of ideas just waiting to come out and all that's holding me back is my own laziness."
Jack Handey
Via e-mail: "To drink more, to start smoking again, and to get fatter."
Kathy Holian
incoming Santa Fe county commissioner, District 4
Left on voice mail: "I'm not normally the type who makes New Year's resolutions, but I asked my husband if he had any suggestions and his suggestion was to be nicer to him. So, I guess that's what it's going to be."
Honey Harris
morning radio personality, 98.1 KBAC
Via Facebook: "Well, since I already quit smoking I suppose my resolutions for the New Year are:
1. Go to the gym more often
2. Become incredibly wealthy."
Wenda Watch
drag queen
Via e-mail: "For 2009 I resolve to 1) do something about my weight as I am now officially fatter than the town sow 2) finally get the mobile home off cinder blocks and onto a proper foundation and to 3) continue to promote, fight for, party with and celebrate the GLBT community in New Mexico. MMMMM, BLT. Now I'm hungry! Welp, there goes that one!"
Diane Denish
lieutenant governor
Via press officer, before Gov. Bill Richardson withdrew as commerce secretary nominee: "I resolve to have a smooth and seamless transition [into the governor's office]."
Via press officer, after Richardson's withdrawal: "I resolve to work with the governor and the Legislature to craft a budget solution."

Did you know?
Nearby is the mysterious Mona Meetse Spring, believed to be inhabited by a water spirit.
The Pedi Living Culture Route begins at the foot of the statue of the great kgoshi (king) Sekhukhune, who stands guard over the ancient Tjate Valley near the Ledingwe Cultural Village.
This is the birthplace of the Pedi people and as you follow the route you will find out about their history and heritage, their traditions and lifestyle.
Once you have had the symbolic hand washing at the statue of the king, you will continue your journey into the Tjate Valley, a Provincial Heritage Site, where trained guides bring to life the story of the Pedi empire. Walk past the graves of fallen Pedi, Boer and British soldiers, and feel the whisper of history as you hear of the great Battle of Sekhukhune that took place between the Pedi, British and Swazis in 1879.
The tour then takes you through the Ledingwe Cultural Village where you can see how Pedi life was once lived. You will walk under the great tree where community decisions were traditionally made. And you can meet the village's artists and crafters, renowned for their colourful imagery.
The Tjate Valley is also one of the richest archaeological Iron Age sites in the country. The ancestors have left their clues. Hundreds of pots have been reconstructed from excavations at Tjate, and bones, tools and necklaces have been unearthed.
The Sekhukhune district is surrounded by nature reserves and natural attractions, such as the foot-shaped rock they call God's Footprint. The nearby village of Roossenekal is a good place to stay, famed for its showing of rare yellow arum lilies in spring.

YOUNG footballers from Sale United's u-6s showed off their skills at a recent tournament at the Sports Village, Milnrow.
The club entered two teams - the Aztecs and the Beavers - and the Beavers won the competition, the JSL Christmas Tournament U6.
The Beavers got through to the final by winning all of four of their qualifying games.
The final was against a 'home' junior soccer league side, which the Sale boys won convincingly, with a 3-1 scoreline.
Captain for the day Aaron picked up the winner's trophy, their first piece of silverware this season.
Sale United's U6s section head coach Stewart Hamer said: "This group of players have only been together since September, so it was good to see how they fared against opposition players they did not know.
"For all the boys this was a different challenge and both teams did very well and will have benefited from the experience."
"The under sixes section is a progression of our ball skills 'Gimme 5s' programme aimed at children aged three to five-years-old, and you can see how they have benefited from this early type of training."

Hi everyone
I love the glue-ball idea for the first day of chem class. I've also
done a similar activity with cornstarch and water demonstrating change
from liquid to solid depending on whether you are slowly stirring it or
sharply hitting it. Also another good observation first day is
mothballs in a tall graduated cylinder with CaCl_2
and HCl ...then have the students oserve what happens ...good
observation vs inference!
I've been watching for postings but havent seen any new ones since the
last class in Jan.

In an effort to overcome financial problems, the Detroit Science Center announced Tuesday it would remain closed 2 more weeks.
The Detroit Children's Museum in the building, however, will reopen Wednesday, October 12.
The center and the Detroit's Children's Museum closed Sept. 26 for budget problems.
It had originally said the closure was temporary and the center would reopen on Oct. 12.
The center said the shutdown was necessary to re-examine its operations and come up with a plan to produce the working capital needed to keep it functioning.
A statement from the Science Center explaining the financial hardship reads:
<i>In 2008-2009 the Detroit Science Center launched ambitious plans to build two national traveling exhibitions,
expand the building to include a public charter middle school, launch its DSC Design & Exhibits subsidiary,
open a new 4-D theater and build fresh new exhibits for the museum.
These initiatives put a financial strain on the museum, which was compounded by a worsening economy and
decline in philanthropic giving. The museum incurred further losses in 2010 when its Accidental Mummies
exhibitions did not meet attendance and revenue expectations. Museum management has been working hard
to continue operations/</i>
In August, the Science Center's CEO and president resigned abruptly. John Miller, a longtime vice chairman of the Detroit Science Center Board of Trustees is now serving as interim president and CEO.
