Pewsitter v. Eye of the Tiber!
(Some down time before the family heads off for Indianapolis and GenCon tomorrow morning. Had a great time in Kenosha visiting the mother-in-law. Fascinating visit to the Civil War museum in Kenosha. Details on Sunday.)
Well, Pewsitter and Eye of the Tiber square off! From Eye of the Tiber:
After close to an hour of staring at the headline he had just written about Pope Francis, an employee at the news aggregation website Pewsitter has reportedly begun questioning whether or not to add an additional exclamation point or three, sources have revealed.
The unnamed Pewsitter writer reportedly told a fellow staff member this morning that after having written his most recent headline about the Pontiff, that he wasn't sure whether or not the headline warranted a few additional exclamation points to help convey the possible lunacy of the Pope's most recent actions.
"He told me that he was also considering whether or not to add one or a few more question marks sprinkled in between the exclamation points to help express the fact that Pope Francis was doing something that at best could be considered odd and something out of character for a pope to do, or at worst, something completely heretical," the source told EOTT. "You can see the stress that this news aggregation Mozart has to deal with on a daily basis to put out the works of art that that he does."
The source also went on to explain the importance of adding exclamation marks to headlines, saying that without them, "no one would ever know when to be outraged."
At press time, the writer has decided go with the headline, "Francis Brushes With Same Brand Of Toothpaste That Planned Parenthood CEO Uses!!!?!!???!"
Pewsitter links to the article, as it always does for any post critical of it:
PewSitter gets Eye-of-the-Tibered?! – COMMENTS!
And then Mark Shea showed up:
Rosica Retreats
Well, well, well, Father Thomas Rosica has decided not to sue blogger Vox Cantoris after all. Go here to read all about the original suit threat. Here is Rosica's graceless announcement that he is not going to sue:
Jeremiah 18:18-20
The people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem said,"Come, let us contrive a plot against Jeremiah.It will not mean the loss of instruction from the priests,nor of counsel from the wise, nor of messages from the prophets.And so, let us destroy him by his own tongue;let us carefully note his every word."Heed me, O LORD, and listen to what my adversaries say.Must good be repaid with evil
that they should dig a pit to take my life? Remember that I stood before you to speak in their behalf, to turn away your wrath from them.

Boston Globe Opens Catholic Web Site-What Could Go Wrong?
(Following up on Tito's post on Crux, here is my take.)
Well, the Boston Globe, uber liberal rag with a well-earned Catholic bashing reputation, is opening a Catholic web site:
Boston Globe Media Partners today launched a new website exploring news and issues of the Catholic Church, faith, spirituality and Catholic lifestyle, called Crux. The free, standalone site is at cruxnow.com.
Crux provides national and international news and analysis of the Catholic Church and the practice of Catholicism, with a focus on how news from the Vatican and the words and actions of Pope Francis affect Catholics worldwide. Its content will appeal to a broad swath of people: active Catholics who regularly follow religious news, "casual" Catholics who may not be regular Mass attendees, those who are simply interested in the dynamic and popular Pope Francis, and readers of all faiths who are eager to explore spirituality in general.
"Now is as good a time as I've ever seen to launch a site like this," said Globe Editor Brian McGrory. "The pope is a champion of inclusiveness, openness and social justice, and he has reignited interest in the Catholic faith and faith in general."
Teresa Hanafin, a 29-year veteran of the Globe, will be the editor of Crux.
"We are going to explore traditional Catholic life within the context of modern day Catholicism, as well as give full voice to disagreements and challenges within the Church," she said. Continue reading
Advice to Simcha Fisher
Picking a fight, go here to read all about it, with PewSitter is a really bad idea.
Update: Mark Shea weighs in with the calm and charitable commentary that has made him famed throughout Saint Blog's:
Update: some of my more charitable readers insist that "admit" is patient of a reading that is not as unfeeling as it sounds to Simcha, me and rather a lot of female readers (particularly victims of sex crimes). Okay. Summoning "love believeth all things" to its summit, I will buy that and apologize for seeing red. But I also don't think Simcha was particularly wrong to see red. Pewsitter has a long record of saying odious things. The fact that this may have only been semi-odious is nothing to write home about.
Moral: a website written by anonymous cowards who regularly go out of their way to put the darkest possible constructions on the pope's words should perhaps consider a bit more circumspection about throwing stones from their glass house when they themselves speak so recklessly. The best that can be said for their wording was that it was, ahem, "poorly chosen" and (what's is it that those guys love to hurl at Francis? Oh yeah!) "sends a confusing message". And the rest of the site remains a clearinghouse for contempt for much of the Church's magisterial teaching and this pope in particular. Take the log out of your own eyes, anonymous Pewsitter cowards.
Patheos v. Pewsitter! Pass the popcorn!
Rebecca Frech Schools Mark Shea on Guns
Mark Shea has a habit of saying that unless people do x, x always being a policy he endorses, they really are not pro-life. This of course is simply an attempt, at least among pro-lifers, to stop debate on x and says nothing about the merits of x as a policy. His latest attempt to do so is on the issue of smart guns, technology that purports to prevent a firearm from being fired, unless the owner is the one pulling the trigger. Go here to read one of his posts on the subject. Blogger Rebecca Frech, at her blog Shoved to Them, relates an incident to describe why Shea is wrong as a practical matter:
The argument seems to center around smart gun technology. Shea reasons that if gun owners were truly pro-life then we would support all efforts to create guns which would only fire for their owners, and then the world would be a better place. People who don't support such legislation and research, even if they support the protection of life from conception to natural death, are not truly pro-life because they participate in a culture which accepts the possibility of death by gun shot (Mark and his readers haven't mentioned how they aim to prevent people from being bludgeoned with a rifle butt or pistol whipped with a handgun).
Father Z bring us a disturbing development from across the pond:
I want everyone to know about this.
This was posted at the blog Protect The Pope, which was run by Deacon Nick Donnelly.
Diocese of Lancaster's statement about Deacon Nick Donnelly BY M DONNELLY, ON MARCH 13TH, 2014 The Bishop's office of the Diocese of Lancaster has kindly sent Nick the statement they issued to the press about him and Protect the Pope which is copied below.
"After learning that a notice had been placed upon the Protect the Pope website on 7 March saying: 'Deacon Nick stands down from Protect the Pope for a period of prayer and reflection' the Bishop's Office at the Diocese of Lancaster was able to confirm that Bishop Campbell had recently requested Deacon Nick Donnelly to voluntarily pause from placing new posts on the Protect the Pope site.
Meanwhile, it was also confirmed that the Bishop asked Deacon Nick to use this pause to enter into a period of prayer and reflection on the duties involved for ordained bloggers/website administrators to truth, charity and unity in the Church.
Deacon Nick has agreed to the Bishop's request at this time".
I, for one, can imagine that a lot of pressure was exerted on the Bishop of Lancaster to have gone to such an extreme as to command a cleric under his charge not to think aloud in public.
I see now, however, that "M Donnelly" is posting at the blog. I take it that this is Missus Deacon. Good for her.
Go get 'em. Continue reading
Archbishop Chaput and the Media
One of the most irritating aspects of life for faithful American Catholics over the past several decades has been how quiet most of our bishops have been in the face of outrageous attacks on the Church. Too many of our bishops have acted as if they had their spines surgically removed upon consecration. Fortunately there have always been a handful who have been willing to speak out and suffer the media attacks that then ensue, along with the ambushes of heterodox Catholics frequently eager to lend a hand to anti-Catholics in their ceaseless war against the Church. One of the more outspoken bishops is Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, who has never been afraid to proclaim the truth, and to do so eloquently. He is at it again over at First Things.
Catholic Blog Argument Fallacies
Thanks to commenter RL for a truly inspired idea! Most Catholic bloggers and commenters would like to think they argue like Saint Thomas More in the video clip. Unfortunately we, and I include myself in that "we", more often argue like Norfolk, Cranmer and Cromwell. In hopes perhaps of improving the quality of Catholic combox debate, here is a list of Catholic blog fallacies taken from comments made to Darwin's post here:
1. I have the biggest encyclical!-Cite a few passages from an encyclical by one pope to "win" a debate on a contentious subject. Never mind what other popes may have written on the subject, ignore the history of the Church on the subject completely, and certainly never concede that the pope perhaps was making a general statement that might not fit all situations. Throwing in a bit of Latin is always a neat touch. Then, when other commenters resist the fact that you have "won", you can, more in sorrow than in anger, either imply, the best tactic, or state flatly that they are dissenters and that they are not now arguing with you but the Vicar of Christ.
2. You heretic, you!-(Dawin Catholic contributed this): Don't forget that no intra-Catholic-blogsphere throw-down is complete without accusing someone of engaging in a heresy at least 1000 years old.
The following are from RL:
3. Heresy Fallacies-Accusing your opponent of heresy without identifying the article of faith denied and usually basing it on something not even remotely dealing with heresy. Usually the charge is leveled at someone who doesn't agree with your political policy prescriptions. i.e. Reductio ad Calvinism. "You disagree that every family making over $50,000 a year should be taxed at 80% which is a clear indication of Calvinism, something I have come to expect from people of your ilk".

Lady GaGa calls her 'little monsters' to attend her concert in New York City on January 24 and raise funds for the victims of Haitian Earthquake.
After making use of Twitter to apologize to her "little monsters" for postponing her Purdue gig due to exhaustion, Lady GaGa wrote on the micro-blogging site about her plan to support Haitian Earthquake victims. She has decided to raise funds for the victim on her concert on January 24.
"Jan 24th is GAGA FOR HELPING HAITI day. Go to www.ladygaga.com on the 24th + 100% of all merchandise purchased goes to earthquake relief," she announced. "Monies will be donated immediately, spread the word around the world so we can raise as much money as possible."
"Little monsters attending the Monsterball on the 24th: all ticket + and merch/cd profit will be donated. Save your money. Help save a life," she ended. Previously, this dance queen has urged fans to donate their money for Haitian relief when appearing on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on January 15.
Lady GaGa will hold the January 24 gig at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. She is not the only star who cries for Haitian earthquake victims support. Ben Stiller, Jessica Alba, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Wyclef Jean, Mark Hoppus, Yoko Ono, Joey Mcintyre, Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez and Coldplay's Chris Martin have all pleaded people to help the victims.

"A lot of very beautiful women can be a pain because all they're thinking about is how they look." -Emma Thompson. Well, this is not just a mere statement as it exposes the ugly truth behind every beauty. Since the ages of Adams till the ages of atoms, women have always been obsessed with beauty and when it comes to today's glamorous film industry, beauty counts a lot. Being beautiful onscreen is mandatory and in order to look the best onscreen, hordes of Bollywood actresses are undergoing plastic surgeries these days. As it is believed that cosmetic surgery does wonders. So did it do in the case of several actresses, who today, are admired and adored for their beauty. Here are some of the Bollywood beauties, whose lives have changed after these surgeries:
Priyanka Chopra: A while ago, Priyanka Chopra had said that she never felt the need of cosmetic surgery. In fact, she is very happy with what god has blessed her with. But this statement might make you scratch your heads, if you spot PC's pictures. Rewind to some of Priyanka's old pictures during her modelling days and compare them with her today's pics. You are sure to come across some sharp differences. According to our B-Town's gossip mongers, Priyanka got her lip job done twice. It was also rumoured that she had done a nose job as well.
Shilpa Shetty: Shilpa Shetty is one of the most beautiful actresses of Bollywood today, but many of us might not know the reality behind her beauty. If gossips are to be believed, Shilpa Shetty is the classic example of those actresses, whose destiny changed after undergoing plastic surgery. Shilpa wasn't at all a good looking girl as a spinster, but today she is completely a changed woman after her overall transformation.
Bipasha Basu: This bong bombshell was possibly not content with what she has been blessed with. Bipasha Basu has a killer look, a well-toned body, that drives men go crazy over her. Despite all this, rumours say that Bipasha went for her breast enhancement by 3 inches which gifted her with sparkling limelight in return.
Kangana Ranaut: The fashion girl too felt the desperate need to enhance her assets, as a result of which, Ms Ranaut opted for plastic surgery. Kangana was earlier in the news for her bug-bitten lips. But later, rumours revealed that Kangs did her lips surgery that made her look more prettier.
Sridevi: How can we leave behind Mr India's Hawa hawaai girl, whose beauty needs no description. Say her eyes or smile, Sridevi has the mesmerising looks. Even at 50, men go gaga over her for ravishing looks. According to the reports, Sridevi went through a plastic surgery to get that perfect look. She is said to be the first Bollywood actress to have gone under the knife to get her nose reshaped.
Preity Zinta: Rumours say that this dimpled chic had undergone a nose job, brow lift and face structuring. According to the media reports, Preity's face looked absolutely plastic and very different at the premier of her upcoming movie Ishkq in Paris.
So guys, which actress do you think, looks the best after cosmetic surgery?

A stronger sharemarket is not encouraging initial public offerings. More floats have been withdrawn, recent listings have sunk below their issue price and some significant IPOs have been deferred.
Remarkably, only four of 30 floats this calendar year are trading above their issue price. The average share price loss (against the issue price) is 16 per cent, Weekend Financial Review analysis shows.
Most floats this year have been for junior explorers raising less than $5 million. The only good news is that the sharemarket rally since July could encourage the traditional end-of-year IPO rush as companies look to list before Christmas.
It will take much sturdier local and global sharemarkets to get retail investors interested in IPOs, judging by the response to offers this year.
The latest post-listing disappointment,
Hopes were high that Calibre, the year's largest float by market capitalisation, would buck the trend of floats struggling after listing, and encourage other mining services companies to list.
The Calibre IPO was designed to maximise after-market support, with shares offered to institutional investors, brokers and staff. There was no general public offer and more than 80 per cent of its shares were escrowed (unable to be sold) for at least a year.
Calibre's early price falls in a rising market will disappoint its supporters. But it is among the better quality floats this year and its earnings per share outlook of 20.3¢ in 2012-13 gives a price-earnings multiple of 6.8 times, which is well below its nearest listed competitors.
The Perth company this week announced record full-year earnings growth and confirmed its 2012-13 revenue guidance and order book.
Calibre's shares rallied on the news.
Other recent listings are slightly down on their issue price.
Morocco-focused oil explorer
Another junior explorer,
Most other floats this year have struggled since listing: eight are down by 30 per cent or more compared with their issue price, and shares in two of this year's prominent IPOs,
At least Cuesta and Armour closed their offers and raised considerable capital. More than a dozen companies have withdrawn their application to list on the Australian Securities Exchange this year, unable to raise their minimum subscription or secure enough shareholders to meet listing rules.
Dome believed its flagship Nasivi Delta iron sands project could be fast-tracked into production and provide significant cash flow within three years. But persuading investors to back Fijian early-stage exploration projects was always going to be a tough sell in a risk-averse market.
ASIC believed the prospectus did not have enough information about Insured Group's current position and prospects.
The New Zealand-listed company wanted to raise $2.25 million and dual list on the ASX. Insured Group this month told the New Zealand Stock Exchange that it was in discussions with St George Bank about its debt and that it remained solvent in the absence of funds raised through an ASX IPO.
The IPO market received a bigger blow this month when Hong Kong-listed CLP Holdings said an IPO for its Australian unit, TRUenergy, was unlikely this year. The mooted $3 billion IPO would have been the largest since QR National's in 2010.
Genworth Financial in April delayed the partial float of its Australian mortgage insurance business, which was expected to raise up to $800 million.
Potential floats of logistics specialist McAleese Transport and equipment rental group, Coates, are the big hopes to salvage the IPO market in the fourth quarter. But it would be a brave company that launched a large offer this year – unless sharemarket conditions substantially improve.

Dutch protest ad in NYT cost 26,000 dollars
Last week's advertisement by Dutch Artists 2011 in reports.
The ad was placed by a collective of hundreds of artists and sympathisers as a protest against sweeping government cutbacks in the Dutch arts and cultural sector. It reads: "Do not enter the Netherlands, cultural meltdown in progress." Yesterday, the same statement was published in French in France's newspaper.
The cuts - in the amount of 200 million euro - will see many orchestras, theatre groups, dance companies, art institutions and festivals disappear. On Monday, up to 10,000 demonstrators rallied in The Hague in support of the arts and culture. Other supporters of the arts, who took part in the night 'March for Civilisation' from Rotterdam to The Hague, joined the rally.
Parliament debated the planned 200 million euros in budget savings on Monday afternoon but Deputy Education and Culture Minister Halbe Zijlstra refused to budge on the proposed cuts.
The axe is also set to cut deeply at Radio Netherlands Worldwide, which will see its budget cut by 70 percent from 46 to 14 million euros.

What power social media is proving to have. Not content with the pivotal role it played in the Arab Spring, now it has Sydney 2GB radio host Alan Jones in its grip. The outrage on Twitter and Facebook (at press time there were nearly 20,000 "likes" on a Facebook page devoted to sacking Alan Jones) follows his comments to a Young Liberal dinner where he stated that Julia Gillard's recently deceased father had died of shame. It was a terrible comment, particularly as it was clear how much the Prime Minister was grieving the death of her father. Since then legions of social media participants – encouraged by campaigning website change.org – have pressured major companies, including Challenger and Freedom Furniture to withdraw their advertising from the station. At press time, 2GB had pulled all advertising from the show in the hope of calming the situation.
No one should be surprised by the vileness of Jones's words; his role is to test the boundaries of public taste. Right-wing shock jocks aren't a new phenomena and in a pluralistic democracy there has to be a place for them. While some may see Jones as a right-wing demagogue, he has the biggest share (18.5 per cent) of the breakfast radio market in Sydney. He has supporters. The same goes for Kyle Sandilands, a breakfast show host on 2Day FM also known for his nasty remarks – and a 10 per cent share of the breakfast market.
The issue for businesses is what marketing policy should be in place in an environment where the comments of a radio commentator can contaminate their image and plaster their Facebook page with angry comments. In the past, a comment that went too far might evoke public reaction but there was no real platform for public reaction. Companies could continue to advertise with controversial figures and send out a bland statement to note that they didn't necessarily agree with what they said. Now, however, social media makes it too public to ignore – companies are like anyone else, they live in fear of being "de-friended" on Facebook.
This means companies must take a closer look at which brands they associate with. Jones's comments may have been distasteful but they were hardly out of character. If advertisers are appalled by his comments on Gillard's family, what was their reaction to his racist remarks in 2005 when he referred to Lebanese Muslims as "Middle Eastern grubs"? Pulling support from his show is a reasonable reaction to his most recent remarks, having a long-term and thoughtful approach to where a brand is exposed is better. And this works both ways. The 150,000 listeners to Jones every morning vote and shop, they have a right to their viewpoint and if a company thinks they are important, they should stick with them. But social media will make it harder for companies to chop and change according to circumstance.
But don't for one minute believe that social media has covered itself in glory with this campaign. There is something fevered and false about the way social media foments a cause. Each social media campaign has one thing in common – they are ephemeral, gathering together a group of voices who claim to care deeply about an issue for a few days. Alan Jones is vile but the rule of the mob is no more to be condoned than the ugly words of one man.

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Enock, Julius Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-0701102-111853 Title Intrinsic Biodegradation Potential of Crude Oil in Salt Marshes Degree Master of Science in Civil Engineering (M.S.C.E.) Department Civil and Environmental Engineering Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title John H. Pardue Committee Chair Clinton S. Willson Committee Member William M. Moe Committee Member Keywords
- heterotrophic microbial activity
- soluble organic carbon

- oil spill recurrence
- salt marshes
Date of Defense 2002-06-21 Availability unrestricted AbstractUnderstanding the influence of different perturbations on the fate of spilled oil in marine ecosystems is useful in assessing the environmental impact and remedial investigation. The effect of flooding and spill recurrence on the fate of an experimental crude oil spill (2 L/m2) was investigated using salt marsh intact cores, incubated for about 3 months, by monitoring residual petroleum hydrocarbons, heterotrophic microbial activity (fluorescein diacetate assay) and soluble organic carbon (SOC).
For the flooding study, biodegradation rate of crude oil (with half-lives varying between 16.50 and 49.51 days and turnover times between 23.81 and 71.43 days) and microbial activity increased significantly (P>0.05) in the order from continuously-flooded (CF), intermittently-flooded (IF) to non-flooded (NF) regime. The SOC increased significantly (P>0.05) in the opposite order. The results signify the influence of flooding on microbial activity and indirectly affecting biodegradation of crude oil and decomposition and accumulation of organic matter in salt marshes.
For the oil spill recurrence study (single, two, three and four successive oilings; each totaling to 2 L/m2), biodegradation rate of crude oil (with half-lives varying between 11.95 and 69.31 days and turnover times between 17.24 and 100.00 days), microbial activity and SOC increased significantly (P>0.05) with each subsequent oiling. The results suggest that, microbial degradation might not be significant in a pristine tidal marsh particularly immediate to an oil spill event as opposed to a previously contaminated one.
The lack of significant linear relationships (P>0.05) among the parameters measured in both experiments, as indicated by both (forward) stepwise regression and Pearson correlation, reflects the challenge in understanding the complex interaction of environmental factors and microbial ecology in predicting the fate of spilled crude oil in the salt marshes at least under the experimental conditions.

Although it took me some time to figure out what was going on and what Dreamworks' handsome, over-long film was trying to say, it became apparent about halfway through that I could easily make connections between the imaginative narrative and Christian beliefs. Seeing "Guardians" bears out the saying "You get out of a film what you bring to it" because you make meaning according to your own lens.
The story opens with Jack Frost (the voice of Chris Pine) telling us how he came to be the spirit of winter, but that he doesn't know why; he doesn't have memories about what came before. He does know he makes children happy when he creates snow days for them.
The narrative picks up three days before Easter at the North Pole, and Santa Claus (Alec Baldwin with a suspicious Russian accent), or "North," as his friends call him, is upset because Pitch Black, otherwise known as the Boogeyman (Jude Law), is threatening the children of the world with fear-inducing "night mares" (literally, dark horses). North calls the Guardians of Childhood: the Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher), the Easter Bunny (Hugh Jackman) and the voiceless Sandman. North learns from the also-voiceless Man in the Moon that he is to add a new Guardian to the group: Jack Frost. However, Jack is sad because children don't believe in him, and he decides not to join the Guardians, though later decides to help the group because of Pitch's threat.
Pitch Black is angry that children don't like or believe in him. He is fast at work because he wants to turn off the lights of children's hope and imagination. His minions raid the tooth fairies' lair and collect the containers that hold the teeth and memories of all the children, then imprison the fairies. The Guardians shift into gear and take over teeth collection themselves. They promise Jack to find his baby teeth and memories, too.
Discouraged after a thwarted Easter egg hunt, Jack goes to Antarctica, where Pitch tries to tempt Jack to give up hope. Jack refuses, and Pitch threatens to smother a baby tooth fairy unless Jack gives up his trusty staff. Jack does, and he and the fairy try to stay warm in an ice crevasse. The little one discovers Jack's tooth and memory container. Jack learns he became the winter spirit because of a great act of heroism. With his power restored, he joins the Guardians to defeat Pitch and his message of fear.
We refreshed our website! Drop us a line at email@example.com to tell us what you think. We value your feedback.
"The Rise of the Guardians" is an adaptation of William Joyce's "The Guardians of Childhood." This is not a religious film, though it is framed by Christmas and Easter. Although its references are those fairy-type stories adults tell children to explain parts of life that may be too mature for them (or to get kids to be good), the film mirrors the Christian story and spirituality. I found at least three reasons for catechists and people of faith to like and appreciate "The Rise of the Guardians."
First, the film makes clear that Easter is a greater feast than Christmas and opens the way for the thoughtful parent and catechist to explain why. Christmas gets so much more attention in our popular consumer culture that it's refreshing to find a solid element of truth in a narrative product.
Another reason to like the film is Jack's story, for it is one of heroic self-sacrifice and the greatest act of love one can do for another, to give one's life. It's interesting that the time covered in the film lines up with that of the Easter triduum. Jack's story is one of suffering, death, resurrection and above all, hope joined with faith and love.
The film was released in time for Christmas, but it is really an Easter story.
The vocation of the Guardians is similar to Guardian Angels, to keep watch over the children of the world because children are "all that we were, all that we are and all that we will ever be."
The Man in the Moon seems to symbolize God and divine providence over life and creation. "Stop believing in fear" is the overall message; "it only takes one 'light' (a child who believes) to bear witness to life." How many times did Jesus tell the disciples in the Gospels not to fear?
Yet for all its good points and themes, the film is a mash-up of fantasy characters, storylines, some corny humor (the "Easter kangaroo"), beautiful animation (the tooth fairies), symbols and ideas. But as the final scenes play out, tying everything into a neat bow, I thought that children would enjoy the film, especially those who are ill or who face suffering or challenges (such as bullying) in any way. There is darkness, but the Guardians show ways to overcome fear with hope, joy and love. The film acknowledges the courage of children and teaches the audience to see the signs and symbols of life more deeply and to listen to good inspiration.
As long and as narratively ambitious "The Rise of the Guardians" is, I found the end of the film moving because it creates an imaginary space for children to figure out life in hope and joy.

Want To Leave My Marriage But Not My ChildBeen married 13yearsvhave one elem age child. I stay because i never signed up to be a part time parent. I should know better...im a counselor myself but it paralyzes me to think.if relinquishing anybtime w my child to him. Yet it sickens me to stay...i have high bp, headaches, anxiety, and im gaing weight. I just needvto connect w people who understand
You can consult a lawyer if you want, but if your husband is alcoholic, then I advice you to leave far and fast. By law the child goes to the mother if it's still a baby, and even if she's not. If the husband is alcoholic and she's under age, then she goes with you.
I have been married 12 years and have a 5 year old son. I would divorce my husband but if I do he will fight me on the custody issue for spite. He certainly shows no interest in actually raising our child. On most days he spends maybe 20 minutes with him. He comes in many nights drunk after our son's bedtime and wants to play and hug him. Our son adores him and fights his sleep as long as possible just to see him. It's sad. I know it is a bad environment for our child b/c he feels the tension and often hears us fussing. My husband is verbally abusive after about beer number 9. He has horrible judgement about driving but so far no arrest. If/when he gets a DUI I will file for divorce with full custody and only supervised visits. Cant get that until simething on his record. I worry if I leave him our child will be alone with him at least every other weekend. At least now I can keep our son out of the car, and the boat with drunk daddy. To make matters worse he is a manipulator, and professional lier, AKA, attorney. I don't know what to do. Just keep waiting it out.
If I were in your shoes I would breath a sigh of relief and pray for him to stay gone but also he did not harm himself or someone else. But it's is more peaceful at home when mine is gone.

MomentFeed: Starbucks Leads In Instagram Photos
Where are consumers most likely to take, and share Instagram photos? According to Los Angeles-based MomentFeed, the lead location where consumers are taking photos at retailers is Starbucks, which the company found had the most number of photos taken and posted on Instagram. MomentFeed--which develops software used by those retailers to match up social activity to their retail locations--said that it has published a report which shows that Starbucks led in Instagram engagement in Q2 of 2013, with 109,054 photos taken of Starbucks locations. The Cheesecake Factory was second (27,880 photos), followed by Applebee's (19,197 photos).

It's a good summer, or even year, in Central Texas when July rolls around without temperatures having yet reached 100 degrees.
Although that streak is expected to end Sunday in the Temple-Waco area, Killeen will dodge the century mark for at least another week, according to the National Weather Service in Fort Worth.
Killeen temperatures will reach 97 degrees Saturday and Sunday, climbing to 98 degrees Monday. On Tuesday, temperatures will fall to 90 degrees as a rain chance arrives, dipping to 88 degrees before the week ends.
Although temperatures haven't yet reached the triple digits in Killeen, local roofing and landscaping companies are nonetheless taking precautions to shield their employees from the heat.
"Everybody watches out for everybody, making sure if anybody gets overheated, they come off the roof and cool off," Potter said.
Employees at Precision Landscaping and
Lawn Precision in Killeen often drain a case of water in a day, Office Manger Beverly Schwartz said.
"Keeping hydrated is the main thing," she said. "We provide lots of water."
Workers typically wear light, long-sleeved cotton shirts to protect their skin from the sun, Schwartz said, along with a hat to shield their faces.
"We try to get them in the shade as much as we can, but long sleeves keep them from getting a sunburn," she said.
Mastersson Roofing and Spray Foam, a Temple-based roofing contractor that serves the Killeen-Fort Hood area, recently switched to a synthetic blue felt material for its underlayment. The synthetic underlayment absorbs less heat than the black felt material the company typically uses, said Bill Potter, owner of Mastersson.
"It's a better product, and it's easier on the roofers," Potter said.
Beyond that, Potter said the employees try to arrive at work earlier in the morning, when temperatures are cooler, and take a break in the early afternoon when conditions heat up.
Heat, humidity and time all factor into an individual's reaction to summer temperatures.
When a breeze hits perspiration, it has a cooling effect, however, if the humidity is high, sweat will not evaporate as quickly, preventing the body from releasing heat quickly, said Dr. Dominic Lucia, medical director of emergency medicine at McLane Children's Hospital Scott & White in Temple.
The high today is expected to reach 97 in Killeen, and inch up through the weekend to 98 on Monday.

when is the virus thing gonna be sorted
I get the same warning.
Never got it yesterday only to day and only this site.
js: pdfka-gen Is the warning I get.
Did a scan on my PC just in case and it comes up clean.
So It must be the forum.
Will it ever end?
I get internet 8 has stopped working and its a right bloody pain
it started last week they shut down but its back again
with beefed up security they say
and the right side of screen is all squashed up still
The site looks fine. If it was not for the AV I would not even know there was an issue.
The said it was a classifieds was at fault or was it adverts?
If its the first one, scrap it and go with was works for every other forum on the web.
I've also got the warning !
Ive got IE9 and nothings come up. Full scan with Microsoft Security essentials and nothings come up. Has it been resolved?
Is it safe to hang around, or should we leave the site for the time being?
It keeps saying i need and new add on but then there is no new add ons then found,plus it keeps trying to upload media player aswell as the firefox warning everytime
my avast warns me, but allows me to view the site, nothing about a download for me.... i'd not add anything myself
This should not be happening We deleted the plug in/exploit completely and have not re installed it at all.
I see SRS have been hit too, and they have a different system to us.
Don't download anything from here, and if people can post the messages, or locations it finds the problem so as to narrow the search.
Admin are aware...
I get the error msg in the user CP area, Forum, New post search and in threads.
Almost every where.
We are trying to sort it.........in the meantime watch whats happening in Japan
i got hit with a trojan - an AVG "free" scan cleared it straight away, but then the website kept crashing firefox
seems to be fixed now tho
Admin fixed it
did i miss something here?
But its a good thing.
Its not like missing naked pictures of fit women in the show us your Mrs thread.
First time I've been able to get on here on my desktop in ages. My antivirus software had blocked the site completely as it had seen several Google related virus/spyware reports. Been fine on my mobile though
We have had a few issues but if you have a few access points you would still get on.
Damn!!! Im missed that then! Doh!
Come to think of it, last time i tried to get in that post it didnt load anything up, screen just went blank....or maybe i went blind!!!!
When i was running Norton had nothing but problems my friend who runs his own computer business put ESET Security on mine has not had 1 single problem since
Think its supposed to be one of the best business security systems but runs fine with no slowing issues on home pc.
Killed my pc at work today and getting virus alerts at home. Not been a member long but this site seems to have serious issues.
There has been some issue world wide with forums as there was a glitch allowing access / weakness. If you do not download anything you will be fine,
It worries me how many people are surfing from work with such poor security. Most home users seem to be better protected.
i've just done a google search for a particular topic i was looking for and it was asking me to install a plugin again
also it's not automatically logging me onto my account went i open forum pages off google even tho i'm already logged in on another tab in the same browser window, and i daren't enter my user/password on the 2nd window until you guys give the all clear
The issue is ongoing. The malicious software has been removed, but the damage done seems to be database deep.
That needs to be pulled apart and re constructed if i understand correctly.
I will get admin to update tomorrow as to course of action etc
Cheers guys.

Murrysville, Pennsylvania - Pennsylvania officials sought a motive on Thursday for what may have driven a 16-year-old student to turn on his classmates with two kitchen knives, stabbing startled victims in the stomach and back and leaving nearly two dozen wounded.
Sophomore Alex Hribal was charged with attempted homicide and aggravated assault after allegedly using 20cm steel blades in a stabbing frenzy through the hallways of Franklin Regional High School in Murrysville near Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
A security guard and 21 students were wounded before the suspect was tackled by an assistant principal, officials and students said.
Three teenage boys remained in hospital in critical condition with stab wounds, while other survivors and witnesses struggled on Thursday to find an explanation for the attack.
The teen had no psychiatric or disciplinary problems, and his family described him as a good student who played hockey and mingled well with others, said family lawyer Patrick Thomassey.
"He's upset. He can't believe he did this," Thomassey told reporters outside Westmoreland County Juvenile Detention Centre where he had a meeting with the teen.
"He's scared and remorseful," he said. "He hurt his friends."
Hribal spent the night before the attack with his parents, who the attorney described as "devastated".
"They certainly didn't see this coming," he said. "He's just a good kid and he comes from a great family."
The lawyer said he wants the teen to undergo psychiatric evaluation and to be moved into the juvenile court system. He has been charged as an adult.
"We have to figure out why this happened," Thomassey said.
Student athlete Brett Hurt, 16, described how he was goofing around with a friend before classes in the crowded hallway when suddenly it was filled with screams and, moments later, he was stabbed in the back.
"That's just when everything went into straight chaos," he told reporters at the hospital where he was being treated for his wound and a bruised lung. "What was going through my mind? Will I survive - or will I die."
He said a friend helped him into a classroom and applied pressure to the wound to slow the bleeding. Hurt, a weight lifter, said he had met Hribal only a couple of times, but harboured no ill will toward him.
"I've been thinking, maybe if he had more friends or somebody to help him out, to show him a different path. Maybe it would have been different," he said.
While the United States in recent years has seen numerous large-scale shootings in public places, including schools, movie theatres and shopping areas, mass stabbings are less common.
Police and the FBI on Wednesday searched the suspect's home. Neighbours said both parents work, and the teen has a brother who also attends Franklin Regional High School.
The high school will be closed, probably until Monday, while police conduct an investigation, officials said.
Murrysville Police Chief Tom Seefeld told CNN that authorities were investigating a report of a threat made the night before the stabbings, but had no evidence to support that.
Most of the victims were 14 to 17 years old.
Among the most seriously injured was a 17-year-old boy, who remained in critical condition following surgery at UPMC Presbyterian, a hospital spokeswoman said. A knife blade passed through his liver, diaphragm and some major blood vessels but missed his heart and aorta.
Eight other teenage boys were recovering in two other hospitals, including two who were in critical condition and may require more surgery.
Hribal faces four counts of attempted homicide and 21 counts of aggravated assault, police said. He was ordered to face a preliminary hearing in seven to 10 days. - Reuters

Sri Lanka's emphatic One-Day International series victory over England has put them within striking distance of the BLACKCAPS in the ICC's ODI Rankings table.
The BLACKCAPS stay fourth in the table, although Sri Lanka can strengthen its ratings points haul with a triangular series win over India and South Africa.
Third-placed Pakistan could also bolster its own position with a series triumph over the English.
The BLACKCAPS' next ODI action comes in the ICC Champions Trophy, followed by the visit of the Sri Lankans to New Zealand.
England has now won just five of its last 19 ODIs, with successive series losses to Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka, at a cost of 12 ratings points.
The contrast with the buoyant Sri Lankans could not be greater.
Mahela Jayawardene's side has gained four ratings points through its run of wins and although it has not improved on its sixth position, it is now just two points short of fifth-placed India.

Col. 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. I was in Thailand recently. And if you've ever had anything to do with the Thai people, you'll know that they are so gracious. It's part of who they are.
Now most of the staff at the hotel that I was staying at spoke pretty good English - certainly their English was a whole bunch better than my Thai. I decided that if I was going to learn just one word in Thai - I knew which one it had to be. I wanted to learn to say - thank you. I did: Kopkunkap.
That had to be the word - because I had so many occasions to thank these wonderful people. What you do is you put your hands together; you do a small bow and say Kopkunkap.
On the way home on the plane, I was thinking - wow - wouldn't it be amazing if I lived a life, so that if someone came to my shores and couldn't speak my language, the one word they'd want to learn, would be thank you. Wow! That would be amazing.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce is keen to keep controversial midfielder Ravel Morrison at Upton Park – despite claims to the contrary from co-owner David Sullivan.
The Hammers boss is understood to be more than happy to give Morrison another chance this season, though co-owner Sullivan thinks otherwise.
Speaking on talkSPORT at the weekend, Sullivan suggested Allardyce wanted to move the England Under-21 star on.
The midfielder is currently recovering from an operation on his groin and is going to miss the first few games at the start of the new season.
Speaking to the club's website, Allardyce said: "We've still got Ravel Morrison to come back, he is contracted to West Ham and once his operation has healed up I hope he becomes a better player as he's been playing with it for a while."
Allardyce is keen to get the 21-year-old back on the pitch after some promising performances at the beginning of last season.
"If he can do what he did at the beginning of last season that would be great. He had a good spell when he first broke into the team but couldn't sustain it," said Allardyce.
The former Manchester United youngster spent the final three months of last season on loan at Championship side Queens Park Rangers, helping the R's win promotion to the Premier League.

It was almost exactly a year ago, in preseason, when a young goaltender came in, played parts of two games and, by the numbers, outshone the two netminders who had a lock on jobs with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
That goalie was James Reimer, an unheralded fourth-round draft pick who stopped 26 of 28 shots, good enough for a .929 save percentage that was better than that of Jean-Sébastien Giguère (.913) or Jonas Gustavsson (.902).
Reimer still ended up going to the minors after training camp, but by midseason, he began to take over in goal, eventually earning the No. 1 role and a three-year, $5.4-million (U.S.) deal in the summer.
A year later, Ben Scrivens is hoping he can write a similar Cinderella story.
"What Reims did last year was a big confidence boost for me," Scrivens said. "It shows that anything really can happen."
While his profile remains low, Scrivens sits third on the organization's depth chart after he put up impressive numbers in the minors and climbed from the ECHL to serve as Reimer's backup briefly in the NHL last year.
His play even caught the eye of Leafs coach Ron Wilson, who said this week he wants to give the undrafted former Cornell University star from Spruce Grove, Alta., "a really good look" in preseason.
"He played so well last year in the American league," Wilson said. "We were confident that if anything happened, we could use him."
So while the Leafs goaltending situation may appear set with Reimer and Jonas Gustavsson both under relatively new, one-way contracts, there's room for Scrivens to play the unlikely hero if either of those ahead of him falters at any point during the year.
"I'm just trying to make everyone have to make a difficult decision about me," said Scrivens, who allowed one goal while playing the second half of Toronto's 4-2 preseason win on Monday over the Ottawa Senators. "I'm hoping my play is good enough to earn something, a call-up here or whatever."
For Scrivens, 25, even playing for the Leafs in an exhibition game feels a world away from his time in the Alberta Junior Hockey League, where he was an all-star only five years ago before heading off to Cornell.
He and his fiancé have become close friends with Reimer and his wife, which has helped to ease that transition, as he now has a fairly good idea of what awaits should he continue to have success in the minors.
Even if he still can't quite believe he's this close to an NHL job.
"I don't want to say I'm in awe that I'm at this point – I worked hard and I think I've put in a lot of time," Scrivens said. "But if you would have told me when I was in college, if I thought I would have made it this far, I probably wouldn't have believed you."Report Typo/Error

Using GemFire from Maven.
If you're using GemFire in your software, there's a good chance you'd like to build it using Maven. GemFire is hosted in a Maven repository but the details don't seem to be documented, so this post is a bit of a "Missing Manual" entry.
It's pretty easy, you need to set up the GemFire repository and add it as a dependency in your pom.xml.
<repositories> <repository> <id>gemstone</id> <url>http://dist.gemstone.com.s3.amazonaws.com/maven/release/</url> </repository> </repositories>
And dependency:
<dependency> <groupId>com.gemstone.gemfire</groupId> <artifactId>gemfire</artifactId> <version>6.6</version> </dependency>
If you want to see all the versions of GemFire available you can on the repo root page.
I used this in the course of putting together a Continuous Query client for GemFire, which lets you run SQL-like queries against GemFire that returns matches in real-time as data enters GemFire. So you can run something like "SELECT * from /myregion WHERE totalsale > 100″ and any time an object is inserted into GemFire that has a totalsale value greater than 100 you're immediately notified of it. It's pretty interesting and the client is a nice way to interactively discover the system's capabilities.
One other thing that might not be totally obvious is that GemFire is free for development use, there is a non-expiring license to use it for up to 3 connections (clients or members in the distributed system), so feel free to try it out, play around give feedback.

Proper repository url is: http://dist.gemstone.com/maven/release/
and then groupId is as usual without any strange prefix:

Chicago -- Shoppers will reduce the number of channels they visit and remain intensely focused on value in 2013, according to the latest research from SymphonyIRI Group.
According to Symphony's "2012 CPG Year in Review: Finding the New Normal," consumers are still attempting to ease budgetary strains and are embracing a wide variety of money-saving strategies.
"For 2012, we forecasted that shoppers would continue to define value largely based on price, manufacturers and retailers would pass ongoing commodity price increases on to the shopper, and private label sales would continue in their current ranges," said Piyush Chaudhari, president of the Americas, SymphonyIRI. "These predictions largely came to pass, and we expect 2013 to resemble these same trends in many ways."
SymphonyIRI predicts shoppers will remain frugal in 2013, even though there will be continuing signs of economic recovery and strengthening. In addition, the following trends identified in 2012 will continue in 2013:
To effectively compete in 2013, CPG manufacturers and retailers should consider the following action items:

Vehicles damaged in suspicious early-morning fire in Nanaimo
Nanaimo Fire Rescue and RCMP investigators are piecing together evidence of a suspicious fire that caused an estimated $100,000 in property damage.
Firefighters rushed to the fire scene at a house at 168 Cilaire Dr. at about 3 a.m. Thursday where they were confronted with four vehicles and a hedge fully ablaze, dense smoke, and fire dangerously close to igniting that house and one next door at 174 Cilaire Dr.
Four vehicles in the driveway, including a Ford F-150 crew cab pickup, a BMW sedan, a Jeep YJ and Jeep Cherokee were destroyed as was a boat parked between the two residences.
The fire caused minor damage to the exterior of both homes.
Vanessa Dimter, neighbour, discovered the fire when she was awoken by a vehicle alarm and a bang.
"I ran to the window – the bang made me jump out of bed – I saw a red light under my door, so I opened up the sliding door, which leads me to [a room in the front of the home] and it was just lit up red," Dimter said. "I opened the window and the whole bush and the grass was on fire."
Dimter called 911 when her mother, Angela, told her it was the vehicles that were on fire.
Dimter's father, Richard, tried unsuccessfully to slow down the blaze with a garden hose until firefighters arrived.
All 11 residents were evacuated from both houses and no one was injured.
"It was terrifying, though," Dimter said. "Two hours of standing outside and watching."
Residents of the home the fire originated at declined to comment. Police said they have found alternative temporary housing.
Rick Kwasnecha, fire prevention officer, turned the investigation over to the RCMP, suspecting the origin of the fire could be suspicious, but exact cause of the fire had not been determined Thursday morning.
Const. Gary O'Brien, Nanaimo RCMP spokesman, said in a press release that the investigation was active, but no arrests had been made.
"To assist investigators, we are asking the public to call us if they saw or heard anything prior to 3 a.m. that may relate to the fire," O'Brien said. "Namely, cars parked or driving in the area that do not normally belong there, persons walking or running and any sounds heard immediately before or after the fire was reported."
Fire investigators turned over a second structure fire to RCMP after a house on Victoria Road at Rainer Street went up in flames early Sunday morning.
Fire crews were met with heavy smoke and flames showing from a single-story structure and were able to knock the fire down quickly. The home sustained heavy smoke and fire damage.
One person rented the home and did not have insurance but was able to stay with family locally. The fire prevention officer investigated through the morning Sunday and deemed the fire suspicious, turning the file over the RCMP for further investigation.
Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to call Nanaimo RCMP at 250-754-2345 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.nanaimocrimestoppers.com.

'The Omen' Prequel Is in the Works For Some Reason
Posted on Thursday, April 28th, 2016 by Jacob Hall
The news that 20th Century Fox is developing a prequel to the 1976 horror classic The Omen shouldn't come as much of a surprise – everything gets a prequel these days, whether the original material calls for it or not. It's just the current state of the system. It's also not too surprising that David Goyer is on board as a producer, since he has a habit of popping up anywhere and everywhere, especially when someone is trying to reinvent something with a familiar name. What is pleasantly surprising is the involvement of director Antonio Campos, who is the kind of fresh voice that should be making genre movies at major studios.

Although WordPress displays in U.S. English by default, the software can be used in any language, or 'localized' (see WordPress in Your Language for more information).
Usually, WordPress localization is performed using the Gnu gettext system (see Translating WordPress for more information). The gettext system runs text messages produced by WordPress PHP files through a look-up function, which finds and uses the non-English equivalent of a given word or phrase.
Gettext works well for most aspects of WordPress. However, there are a few components of the software that do not lend themselves to localization with gettext. This article explains why that is the case, and how to localize those components of WordPress.
There are some components of WordPress that cannot or should not be localized with gettext:
To internationalize or localize components of WordPress that cannot use gettext, you will need to replace the English version of the files with a manually translated version. A list of the files you should translate is given below.
Translate the instructions in the PHP comments (so that they can be used by non-English speakers), and set the WPLANG variable to the correct locale. For example, you would change define ('WPLANG', ''); to define ('WPLANG', 'bg_BG');if you were using the bg_BG locale.
Replace the text after each salt and key definition with a similar phrase in the desired language. For example, the Bulgarian file would look like this:
[...] define('AUTH_KEY', 'вашата супер-ултра-уникална фраза сложете тук'); define('SECURE_AUTH_KEY', 'вашата супер-ултра-уникална фраза сложете тук'); define('LOGGED_IN_KEY', 'вашата супер-ултра-уникална фраза сложете тук'); [...]
Note: Be careful of version conflicts if you plan to release your localized files for use by others. You will need to keep track of the version of WordPress that each file corresponds to, or release different versions of the files for different versions of WordPress.
You can find a list of different WordPress versions in the Release Archive. Alternatively, you can check the Trac Browser, which allows you to browse the WordPress SVN source code repository and offers even greater detail on version numbers.

Patna, May 13: This Independence Day, Bihar will step in to the era of right to service. Plans are afoot to launch a drive to make people aware of the provisions of the Right to Service Act and the services they would be entitled to in a stipulated time.
Bihar Prashasnik Sudhar Mission (BPSM), a joint initiative of the state government and the UKs Department for International Development, has been entrusted with the task of chalking out the details to launch the awareness campaign. It is likely to tee-off in mid-June and would continue till the Right to Service Act is implemented in the state.
It will be a very big campaign in which newspapers, news channels and radio would be used widely to make people aware of the provisions of the Right to Service Act, a BPSM official said.
He said details were being worked out to prepare booklets and pamphlets for distribution among people. BPSM is also thinking in terms of putting up billboards in blocks displaying message about the content of the broader provisions of the act.
The BPSM official said several issues would have to be addressed before the formal launch of the awareness campaign. One among them is the content of the advertisement so that people could understand the message easily. The second point pertains to the involvement of the departments supposed to deliver the services in the awareness campaign, he added.
Throwing light on the point related to the role of the departments, the BPSM official said discussions were on to decide the nature of advertisements. In all likelihood, BPSM would go for a generalised campaign. The departments would be asked to come up with details about the services they would deliver and the offices that would be responsible for delivering the services.
One of the major components of this campaign would be to educate people about their right to pray for imposing fine on officials failing to deliver the services in stipulated time. Under the service act, provision has been made for the designated appellate and review authorities to look into the applications wherein services are not delivered within the stipulated time.
The state government has started preparations for smooth delivery of 20 services to people in the stipulated time by launching a training programme for its officials.

STAFF from Gloucestershire's first safety education centre will be cooking their breakfast with hair straighteners to show youngsters just how hot they can get.
As part of this year's Child Accident Prevention Week, pupils from Kingsholm Primary School will visit the newest safety centre in the country to learn about the dangers of burns and scalding caused by hair straighteners.
This year the awareness week, from Monday, June 23 to Sunday, June 29, led by the Child Accident Prevention Trust, will focus on the theme of 'morning mayhem'.
Stewart Edgar, chief fire officer said: "We know that for many the morning can be a busy time – especially for those who have young children.
By teaching young people the dangers of hair straighteners along with other house hold items we're helping to keep them safe from serious injury.
"Hair straighteners stay hot for longer than you think. Your child can be burned if they touch them – even if they've been unplugged for up to 15 minutes. By storing hair straighteners safely on a high shelf or inside a heatproof bag keeps them out of children's reach."
Child Accident Prevention Trust reports that hair straightener burns have doubled in recent years and now contribute to one in ten burns to children.
In addition, six toddlers are admitted to hospital every day as a result of being badly burned.
Councillor Will Windsor Clive, Cabinet member for fire, planning and infrastructure said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for young people to learn the simple skills to help protect themselves from an easily preventable emergency.
"The Skillzone centre provides a great service to children meaning they can make the right choices now and later on in life." If you or your school would like to find out more about Skillzone visit skillzone.glosfire.gov.uk.
For a limited period, primary schools in Gloucestershire can bring their Year 5 pupils for free.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/3/2012 (1995 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The big picture
It was a homestand, some said, that could very well define the Winnipeg Jets' season. Well, given how tight the Eastern Conference playoff picture is, that proclamation is just a tad premature. But Monday's win over the Sabres means the Jets finished up their eight-game stretch at the MTS Centre with a 5-1-2 record and are very much in the playoff discussion.
The little picture
The win keeps the Jets in eighth place in the conference, now three points clear of Washington and four ahead of the Sabres and Tampa Bay. Just as important, it means they keep the Southeast Division-leading Florida Panthers in their crosshairs. Florida, idle Monday, is two points ahead of the Jets. Worth noting: seventh-place Ottawa is now only four ahead of Winnipeg.
The Jets had given up the tying goal with 34.8 seconds left in the second period, but responded in the final 20 minutes. And the critical, game-changing play -- one that energized the Jets and zapped the Sabres -- came on a Blake Wheeler breakaway goal in which he beat Ryan Miller glove side for the winner.
Free Press three stars
1. Bryan Little, C, Wpg. -- Set up all three Jets goals, including a perfect feed to Blake Wheeler for the breakaway winner.
2. Blake Wheeler, RW, Wpg. -- His game-winner had highlight of the night written all over it -- top shelf on Ryan Miller in a dynamite display of finish.
3. Tyler Myers, D, Buff. -- A massive man at 6-foot-8 and a defensive anchor for the Sabres. Their best on a night when the rest of their gang looked gassed at the end of a road trip.
Up next
The Jets travel west for two in two nights beginning Thursday in Vancouver (9 p.m., TSN Jets/TSN Radio) and followed by Friday in Calgary (8 p.m., TSN Jets/TSN Radio).

Michaele Salahi Not Kidnapped, Reportedly on Tour with Journey's Neal Schon Instead
Michaele Salahi, star of the 'Real Housewives of D.C.,' has apparently not been kidnapped as her husband Tareq Salahi reported earlier this week, but instead has been in the company of Journey guitarist Neal Schon.
So, it's kind of a good news / bad news situation for the husband. Imagine being the cop making that phone call: "Yeah, hi…your wife is safe, she just ran off with one of the biggest rock stars of the '80s. Most likely they're just having long conversations, I wouldn't worry about it."
TMZ reports that Michaele and Schon have in fact been dating, and that Journey's marketing team has confirmed that "nobody kidnapped her and they are in Memphis together." Tareq had reported his wife missing after she missed hair and dance class appointments, then told him she was heading to her mother's house, a ruse her mother apparently didn't know she was supposed to play along with.
Authorities were able to contact Michaele on the phone and determine she was safe, traveling with the band of her own free will, and furthermore, didn't want her husband to know where he was.
The Salahis made national news back in 2009 for crashing a White House state dinner and having their photograph taken with President Barack Obama.

Did You Know?
Sometime back in the 16th century, we borrowed the word psyche directly from Greek into English. In Greek mythology, Psyche was a beautiful princess who fell in love with Eros (Cupid), god of love, and went through terrible trials before being allowed to marry him. The story is often understood to be about the soul redeeming itself through love. (To the Greeks, psyche also meant "butterfly", which suggests how they imagined the soul.) In English, psyche often sounds less spiritual than soul, less intellectual than mind, and more private than personality.
