Their role will be to advise Unicef on how best to involve young people in important issues that matter to them.
Rachel from Dumfries and Galloway has already been chosen as a youth advisor and in her report she tells us about her important role.
"I have always been interested in children's rights and have done school assignments on Unicef, the politics of aid and human rights.
As part of a home investigation, I found The Rights Site, which is a website set up by Unicef Youth Voice.
It informs young people of their rights and how they can
get involved in teaching others about their rights and learning more about international issues.
On it I applied for a role as a youth advisor.
Up my street
They also fundraise by holding events such as non-uniform days.
And they advise Unicef UK how best to involve young people in their work, and crucially raise awareness of children's rights and UNICEF's work amongst their peers.
It sounded just up my street!
I didn't think I would get the role, so I was really surprised when I was asked down to London for an interview.
Making a difference
I was really nervous but the Unicef
UK staff were really friendly which gave me a lot more confidence.
When I found out that I had been chosen I couldn't believe it. I was so excited!
I am really looking forward to working with Unicef UK and I hope that I will make a difference as part of the Unicef family.
Helping others
There are so many goals that I now aim to achieve - spreading the word of Unicef to those who may not normally hear it, fundraising and campaigning with Unicef.
And most importantly for me, making a real difference in young people's lives and getting as many people as I can aware of their rights and involved in helping others around the world."
Rachel, 15, Dumfries and Galloway

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy — Wearing new clerical suits, the 62 new students at the Pontifical North American College received a personal greeting from Pope Benedict XVI, to which they responded in song.
"Dear seminarians, use your time in Rome to conform yourselves more completely to Christ," the pope told the young men Aug. 26 after reciting the Angelus with them and hundreds of other visitors in the courtyard of the papal villa at Castel Gandolfo.
The 62 men -- who come from 46 U.S. dioceses, two Australian and one Canadian diocese -- sang "Ad Multos Annos" to Pope Benedict, wishing him "many years" in Latin, and the pope applauded in thanks.
The pope prayed that the seminarians and all Catholics would "remain faithful to the Lord, even when our faith in his teachings is tested."
The new students at the North American College, the seminary in Rome sponsored by the U.S. bishops, arrived at the college Aug. 23 for orientation. A total of 248 seminarians from 97 dioceses in the U.S., Canada and Australia are expected at the college this year.
In his main Angelus address, Pope Benedict commented on the Sunday Gospel reading about how some followers of Jesus abandoned him when they could not understand or accept his teachings.
The pope said Judas, who ended up betraying Jesus, should have been among those to leave, but he wasn't honest enough to do even that.
"He did not remain because of faith, or because of love, but with the secret intention of taking vengeance on the master," the pope said. Judas felt betrayed when Jesus made it clear he did not come to lead a political revolution.
"The problem is that Judas did not go away, and his most serious fault was falsehood, which is the mark of the devil," the pope said.

So as I considered how this message might relate to us today, I couldn't help but compare Jesus Christ to Harry Potter. For those of you who know me well, you probably aren't surprised. And for those of you who don't know me as well, I am a huge Harry Potter fan - the kind that would have dressed up and stood in line for hours to receive a book if he thought his wife wouldn't make fun of him for the rest of our lives.
In some Christian circles the Harry Potter books are criticized for using witchcraft and wizardry as its literary device. I can understand why people might fear that these books could create an unhealthy interest in witchcraft, but I think people are attracted to the characters and the plot more than the literary device. In the books magic is neutral – it is how the characters use their magic that determines whether it is used for good or evil. In many ways magic stands for our own power and how we choose to use the power we have been given.
I have also heard people critique Harry's tendency to break the rules, suggesting that it sends the wrong message to children. As for myself, I am looking forward to using these books to demonstrate to my own children how building and sustaining healthy relationships is more important than always following the rules. The books demonstrate that Harry is willing to bear the consequences for breaking the rules for the sake of his friends and the pursuit of truth.
Jesus and Harry both befriend and defend those who others look down on. Jesus eats with tax collectors and sinners while Harry befriends mudbloods (someone who is half wizard and half muggle - non-wizard) as well as the likes of Luna Lovegood (an interesting young lady) and Neville Longbottom (an akward young man). Both are willing to endure public disapproval for the sake of their friends.
Rules are often necessary and beneficial, but when they stand in the way of doing good and saving life they should be broken. Harry Potter is constantly breaking curfew for the sake of helping his friends and seeking the truth. Jesus breaks the Sabbath restrictions in order to demonstrate that the Sabbath was made for people and not the other way around. Jesus breaks the Sabbath again in order to heal a man's hand because that is the right thing to do.
Harry is not perfect and is not meant to represent Jesus allegorically, but he is Christ-like in many ways. Harry genuinely cares about people and their well-being. His scar is a constant reminder of the sacrificial love of his parents. In the end of the series Harry is willing to die in order to protect his family, friends, and others. Jesus claims that one's willingness to die for his friends is the ultimate sign of love. In the end that is what Harry Potter is all about - the power of love and its ability to overcome death. And as you all know, sacrificial love is what the good news of God's love is all about. In Harry Potter a phoenix rises from its own ashes - a symbol of ressurection. In scripture we encounter the good news that Jesus Christ rose from the dead in order to reconcile the world to God.

Palliative Care in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: From Diagnosis to Bereavement
David Oliver, Gian Domenico Borasio, Declan Walsh
Oxford University Press, 2006 - Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - 352 pages
Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis (or motor neurone disease) is a rare disease but one that can cause profound suffering for both the patient and their family. Whilst new treatments for ALS are being developed, these are not curative and offer only the potential to slow its progression. Palliative care must therefore be integral to the clinical approach to the disease. Palliative Care in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: From diagnosis to bereavement reflects the wide scope of this care; it must cover not just the terminal phase, but support the patient and their family from the onset of the disease. Both the multidisciplinary palliative care team and the neurology team are essential in providing a high standard of care and allowing quality of life (both patient and carer) to be maintained. Clear guidelines are provided to address care throughout the disease process. Control of symptoms is covered alongside the psychosocial care of patients and their families, culminating in discussion of bereavement. The experience of patients and families is considered and case studies are provided to show the practical application of the theoretical knowledge. Different models of care are explored, and this new edition utilises the increase in both the evidence-base and available literature on the subject. Additional chapters on nursing, spiritual care, decision making, and ethical issues surrounding end of life care ensure that this new edition remains the essential guide topalliative care in ALS.

By Helen Klein
Don't look now, but, beginning this spring, eight unused toll booths adjacent to the Brooklyn-bound lanes on the Staten Island toll plaza of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge will be removed.
The $2.5 million project, which is expected to last until early 2011, is part of a reconfiguration of the toll plaza that also includes the removal of concrete islands, canopy structures, electronic signs and utilities, plus electrical, concrete and asphalt restoration work.
Subsequently the last three unused toll booths on the Brooklyn-bound side will be removed during phase two of a larger, five-year joint program with the state's Department of Transportation. During the second phase, the roadway will be realigned, and additional work will be done on the bridge approaches on the Staten Island side.
The first phase of the project will be done by Brooklyn-based contractor Paul J. Scariano, Inc., which was awarded the contract late last month.
According to MTA Bridges and Tunnels, which oversees the span, during the project's first phase, the toll booths will be taken out, "Two at a time, beginning with those at the far right of the Brooklyn-bound plaza. All work will be done by shifting lanes of traffic. Peak hour traffic lanes onto and through the toll plaza will be maintained during construction."
The overall purpose of the project -- which incorporates "the most significant changes in the physical design of the toll plaza since the lower level of the bridge was opened in June, 1969,"according to MTA Bridges and Tunnels Acting President Jim Ferrara -- is to improve traffic flow along the corridor comprising the Verrazano Bridge and the Staten Island Expressway.
"Removing these outdated, deteriorating structures that have not been used since 1986 when one-way tolling was instituted will significantly improve traffic flow through the plaza and onto the bridge," Ferrara contended.
The move likely means that two-way toll collection -- which many Brooklyn residents have favored restoring as a way of alleviating traffic backups on this side of the bridge, and reducing wayfaring through local streets -- is dead, noted Josephine Beckmann, the district manager of Community Board 10.
"It's really final," she said. "They are saying they are never going to go back to two-way tolls."
The potential impacts of the construction on local traffic, however, are less certain. Beckmann said that the board will be reaching out to MTA Bridges and Tunnels, to, "Ask them to come in and discuss it with us. I don't think they should be that bad, but, any time they do anything on the bridge, there's a traffic impact. My instinct is telling me it's not going to be horrible unless they switch lanes and affect Staten Island-bound traffic, but until we sit down and hear an actual plan, we won't know.
"Once we hear the plan," she added, "we are going to keep a close eye on what the traffic impacts are. We know our own community best," she emphasized.

We want to welcome Brody Emerson to The Host! He has been cast as Jared Howe. He is our first official cast member that is not listed as "rumored." Check out Brody's IMDB page here. He is relative newcomer to big movie productions.
He does have a twitter account. @BrodyEmerson I got the picture from his profile photo, and I think he looks a lot better than the headshots on IMDB.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Jo Anne for the heads up!
**If this turns out to be false information, I will let you know. AND I AM LEANING TOWARD FALSE. It would be great if IMDB actually monitored what was posted on their site.
Update March 24, 2011–I just happened to be looking at this guy's IMDB site again today, and I noticed he changed his name to Jason Schmidt and his twitter account no longer exists. Odd. So please, everyone who continues to read this post and comment, Jason/Brody will not be Jared. Let's get excited for the real cast to be announced soon. No more of this rumor stuff . . .

Marcus Thornton is keeping a level head about his increased contributions to the Georgia basketball team after being unable to even get on the court a year ago at this time.
The Bulldogs are a surprising 2-0 in Southeastern Conference play heading into their game tonight at No. 7 Florida and the redshirt junior is a big reason why even without big offensive numbers.
"We need him," guard Charles Mann said. "He's finally healthy and since he's healthy he's feeling good and we need him to play the way he's been playing to be successful."
In two SEC games, Thornton leads the SEC with 4.0 blocks per game and is tied for ninth in rebounding with 7.0 per game.
It's an encouraging sign for a player named Georgia's Mr. Basketball in 2010 out of Westlake High School in Atlanta whose college career had been derailed by injuries. Thornton underwent arthroscopic surgery to his right knee in December, 2012, his third knee surgery at Georgia, and ended up getting a medical redshirt.
"I'm somewhat pleased," Thornton said. "I still have a long way to go. There's much more that I could be doing to contribute on and off the court."
Georgia coach Mark Fox, whose team is 8-6 overall, said Thornton deserves success after all he's been through with his knee injuries. Thornton didn't play an SEC game last season and missed the first three SEC games in 2012 after another scope to his right knee.
"We don't win without him," Fox said. "I think he was underappreciated before with his defense and rebounding and I think (against Alabama) you see how valuable he is."
Thornton would like to finish more around the rim. He says he's still hesitant in certain parts of his game.
He went 2 of 9 from the field Saturday against Alabama and finished with nine points, but filled up the stat sheet elsewhere with a career-high five blocks and a team-high eight rebounds in a 66-58 win against the Crimson Tide.
"Thank God we're on the same team so I don't have to worry about seeing him at the rim or nothing," Mann said.
"I thought he really impacted the game with his energy and his effort," Alabama coach Anthony Grant said on Monday. "Being a veteran guy, I think he brings that toughness that you want and I thinks he understands what he's got to do to help that team be successful. …His physicality, his interior defense, his shot-blocking ability, his athleticism really impacted the game."
The 6-foot-8, 235-pound Thornton has played small forward, power forward and center during his career, and Fox has even matched up against a shooting guard before.
"I try to spearhead defensively what we do," said Thornton.
He's doing that now making his presence felt in the low post by swatting away shots.
Thornton watched from the bench during SEC play last season, but said he always thought that he would be able to come back after rehabbing from his latest surgery.
"I'm just thankful, Lord willing, that I'm able to play 31 minutes (against Alabama) or whatever the case may be," said Thornton, averaging 6.7 points and 4.9 rebounds per game with 18 blocks this season.
Georgia took it "extremely slow," in Thornton's recovery, Fox said.
Thornton rehabbed with director of sports medicine Ron Courson at the Butts-Mehre building "to get some consistency in his recovery," Fox said.
Thornton said Courson was instrumental in helping him get "to where I'm pretty much 100 percent for the most part."
Only senior Donte' Williams has more than Thornton's 40 career starts for Georgia
"I don't think we ever doubted he would be back," Fox said. "It's just nice to have him back. …I think he's still knocking rust off and probably will continue to for a while. It's been a while since he's played a lot of SEC games so it's going to take him some time to get comfortable again, but it's good to see him coming back."
Note: Mann was named SEC Player of the Week after averaging 20 points, 6.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in wins over Missouri and Alabama last week. It was the first time a Georgia player got the honor since Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on Feb. 4, 2013. "I just want to keep it going and help my team win," Mann said.

Florida won't play in Athens for the first time since 1963.

"My husband wants to know, maybe you can explain it," my friend asks. I'm talking to her motziah Shabbos she's driving home from Shabbos Sheva braches, kids conked out in the back seat, her husband driving and baffled. "My cousin was there, her husband learned a few years in Israel, she went to a top seminary everything and you should have seen how she was dressed. I get the grey lines of tight clothes and long shaitels and knee-skimming skirts, but here she didn't even try. My husband wants to know what she's thinking."
Me the groiyse mind reader, Na, I just have enough opinions and perspectives for five people
"Who said she's thinking anything," I started. "These days there such a lack of regard to the authority of halacha maybe she views it as nice but optional."
Or maybe she's feeling disenfranchised that her husband's not learning anymore, so she's not in the "yeshivish" world anymore.
Or, she's not in school no one's telling her what to do, so she's just acting out like this. Because she's not an idiot you know, she knows the Halacha, sure, she can recite it and many other lessons that were drilled into her head over the years.
"Na," my friend counters. "It's not scandalous for her husband to be in college, it's ok for her crowd."
"I dunno," I muse. "These days no one is tznius and what used to be black is now grey. They always hocked in school about skirt lengths, but have you noticed no one covers their elbows anymore?"
"People in Lakewood still cover their elbows," She answers.
"Well people on Facebook don't." I say, "and these are my 'friends'."
"And what about shaitels," my friend continues.
"What about them?" I ask. I wear short shaitels, not for tznius reasons (although it does work out) but because my bone structure gets lost in long and my face looks fat, so I can discuss it pretty neutrally.
"We came to a consensus on Shabbos that past your bust is prust, past your shoulders to your bust is long and until your shoulders is totally fine."
I laughed; it's all so arbitrary.
"My sister n law was hocking about some woman she saw in the pizza store" my friend continued " 'her shaitel was till her waist it was disgusting!' I ripped into her. When you got married, your shaitel was 11 inches, now it's 16. Her's was 16 when she got married, add five inches, that's 21. You started off more yeshivish, but you're at 16, she started off less so, it's the same five additional inches, what's the difference behind the thought? My sister in law was quiet."
So was I.
"I can't listen to this sister in law talk about tznius," my friend started again. "Every day she wears the same long pleated mid-calf skirt. She doesn't get it. She doesn't understand women when they're pregnant… When I'm pregnant I struggle with my knees, they're the only part of me that's skinny!"
And I'm thinking, does her cousin feel as misunderstood as my friend does by her sister-in-law?
My friend came back to her cousin. "Her skirt wasn't near her knees with a slit, there's no grey area, it's a straight up nisht. What can make a girl just disregard everything she's been taught."
And then I remembered. There had been a tznius gathering for educators in my community. "Shaitels shouldn't be more than 2 inches past the jawbone." A co-teacher and I exchanged looks and laughed. We both complied with his ruling, but no one else did. I didn't think much of it until the next day at school when a bunch of teachers were firing off.
"2 inches past, that's way too short"
"I'm not cutting my shaitel"
"Who is he to make up such random line?"
Then one teacher articulated what everyone felt but couldn't put words to.
"I'm not a person who doesn't listen to daas Torah. If I'm told something, I do it. But I'm not cutting my shaitel, so I'm mad that he is turning me into someone who doesn't listen to Rabbanim; it's not even Halacha. "
Four inches were told, hair not past a shirt's yoke, colorful shoes need not apply. These aren't Halacha, but it feels like that sometimes, and if we don't listen long enough, we slowly become people who don't listen to Rabbanim even when it is Halacha…
I don't know what my friend's cousin was thinking. I don't know why she dresses the way she does, but I walk the streets and she's not alone. The reason can't be solitary. What I do know is that tznius is complex. It goes to the root of who we are as women and yidden, and in this modern world that seems to contradict each other even if it shouldn't. I also, know we're going about it all wrong. I don't know right answer and what we should be doing, that many opinions I don't have, I just know that this isn't working.

Great Product
By Ran
from Cleveland Ohio
For printing boxes it work great. It drys fast in the screen so you have to flood the screen. If it starts to dry in the screen just clean off excess ink and wash the screen out with water. Fan dry for a short time and start printing.
Easy Exchange!

I initially ordered the wrong screen printing ink..but it was very easy to return and i received the correct product quickly!
Great Product!
By LizzyLou
from Vero Beach, Florida
The ink is thick with great coverage. I actually mix it with another ink to get the color I need and I add a little water. For my purposes, it works great and is a great value.
Super Opaque White is just that!
By Kara
from Austin, TX
I've been screen printing as a hobby for four years now, and this is my first purchase of the Jacquard Super Opaque White. The name does not lie. It is a far superior brighter white compared to other inks. The only learning curve with this ink is that the consistency/texture is extremely thick and you really have to be careful with strings of ink hanging off your squeegee and getting white ink where you didn't intend. I also wish I could buy it in an 8 oz. jar because for me that seems to be the perfect amount. But other than that, I would definitely buy this ink again.

Jacquard inks are great!
By Jamie, Illustrator
from NC
The only thing I would change, is the size of the containers. The small is *really* small, so if I need a little of one color for a shirt printing job, I always wish the small was twice the size. It would be great if Dick Blick would carry quart sizes too. This ink is so easy to work with! Love it.
Does the job well

For fabric ink, I'll pick Jacquard over Speedball any day
By Coney NC
from Durham, NC
I print t-shirts, and was using Speedball Fabric Ink for years. I thought that shirt ink just wore off over time, and that's how things were. Then a friend introduced me to Jacquard ink, and I'm completely hooked! It rinses off the screen easier, it wears on fabric WAY better than Speedball, and it comes very thick so you can thin it to the density you like. Great choice of colors, very nice to print with. You can use the same ink for paper, too.

The quality of the ink is amazing.
Screen printing inks
By Garret
from Oregon
The ink consistency varies a little from color to color but I add a little distilled water and extender to my ideal dilution. I use a gram scale to measure out the colors and a hand drill mixing attachment for best results.

THIS week Looking Back reader and contributor Geoffrey Pritchard looks back at the history of the recently demolished Weymouth fire station, where his father Ronald Pritchard served as the fire-brigade administrative officer in Dorset from 1948 until he retired 23 years later
IN THE last week in February, passers-by watched as the last remnants of the former Weymouth Fire Station yielded to the demolition crews.
The old building had been unoccupied since the Fire and Rescue Service moved to the new Community Fire Station in Radipole Lane which was formally opened in July 2011.
Weymouth and Melcombe Regis Fire Brigade had been a volunteer service until the 1930s.
Following a fatal fire in Gloucester Row in 1934, a Committee of Inquiry was held into the operation of the Borough Fire Brigade and the Council resolved to reorganise the service on a professional basis.
Frederick Wain from Exeter Fire Service was appointed Chief Fire Officer with a nucleus of other full-time staff.
Wain showed himself to be very energetic and persuaded the council to buy a new fire appliance and a new fire station was planned on West Plain between North Quay and High West Street.
Some of the site had previously been occupied by small houses in Silver Street and Jockey Row, which had been demolished under slum clearance orders. Strangely, the site had been earmarked for housing before it was identified as a suitable site for the fire station, so its proposed use is a repeat of history.
The contractor was Whitelock of Bournemouth, with a successful tender of £16,700. It comprised an appliance room, workshops, training rooms, a drill tower, flats for firemen and accommodation for the Chief Fire Officer.
The building was occupied in October 1939 but after two years fire services were nationalised and in 1948 returned to local authority control, this time under Dorset County Council.
The borough council therefore had control of the building for a very short time, and members were extremely annoyed that they were not to regain control of the fire service, although it was clear that such small authorities could not effectively operate such services. In 1948 it was necessary to find accommodation for the County Fire Headquarters and a Western Division Headquarters and, pending purchase of a suitable property, the fire station housed these additional functions until 1986.
The major part of the headquarters occupied what had been the accommodation in the main building for the Borough Chief Fire Officer and county officers including my father were dispersed in what had been a sitting room and bedrooms and one office was converted from a bathroom, although not for some considerable time.
Additional accommodation was eventually provided in a concrete and asbestos building constructed cheaply in 1963 and demolished when the headquarters moved to Dorchester.
Gradually the flats were converted to office use and the interior of the building bore no resemblance to the original structure. Its demolition has, albeit temporarily, opened up views unseen for 75 years.
The passing of the old building will bring back many memories for those who occupied the building and those who gratefully received the services it provided. It has served the town well.
My father, Ronald Pritchard served as the fire-brigade administrative officer in Dorset from 1948 until he retired 23 years later.
He was a building society accountant in Cardiff and joined the pre-war Auxiliary Fire Service, becoming full time in 1939 and serving through the Cardiff Blitz.
He had intended to return to the building society but experiences of industrial depression in South Wales in the late 1920s and early 1930s, which he thought might recur after the Second World War, caused him to remain in the fire service which, in any case, he found interesting.
My early life was punctuated with fire calls as he acted as brigade duty officer every four days and he had to be notified of every fire in the county and give instructions on which crews and stations to turn out or, if it was serious enough, notify the chief officer or deputy.
Eventually a phone was installed in my parents' bedroom as our home phone was in the hall and he spent some nights running up and down stairs. Once, when I was about five, at 2am the fire engine when returning from a fire went past our house and it was decided by the crew to give a second's burst on the engine's bell.
Unfortunately it jammed, much to the embarrassment of the crew and the horror of my mother!

HealthEquity Sets IPO Range
Draper, utah-based HealthEquity, which develops technology and software to help manage Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) for employers, has set its initial public offering range, saying it expects its IPO to price at between $10.00 and $12.00 per share. The company has applied to list as HQY on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The company is looking to sell 9.1 million shares of its stock. Setting an initial public offering range is one of the major steps along the steps of an IPO, and usually occurs as the company embarks on a roadshow of institutional investors who might potentially be interested in the IPO, and before the final pricing. HealthEquity is backed by Berkley Capital and Napier Park Global Capital,

Are you thinking of putting your house on the market? Recent reports suggest that the housing market is starting to improve, so now is a great time to start looking for that dream property!
Presentation is very important, so Increase your chances of selling your home by making a few positive home improvements.
Cracked and broken tiles are not a great look when you are presenting your home. Take the time to make sure that kitchen tiles and bathroom tiles look their absolute best. If you are working to a budget, replacing a few tiles, cleaning dirty grout or installing a splashback can all be relatively cheap options, but will make a big difference.
If you have a slightly bigger budget to work with, consider changing your old and dated wall and floor tiles for new ones.
If you are looking for affordable kitchen tiles, bathroom tiles, floor tiles or mosaics, take a look at tiles4all. We have a great selection of quality wall and floor tiles available to suit most budgets.
We also stock a great product called Mouldspray which is superb for cleaning tired old dirty, mouldy grout in your bathroom!

David Kwiatkowski, Suspected of Infecting Patients with Hepatitis C in New Hampshire, Also Worked at Two Arizona Hospitals
A medical technician arrested last week for allegedly infecting at least 30 patients with hepatitis C in New Hampshire previously worked at two Arizona hospitals, according to the Maricopa County Department of Public Health.
David Matthew Kwiatkowski, 32, was arrested by federal authorities July 19, and was charged with tampering with a consumer product and obtaining controlled substances by fraud, according to the FBI.
The county health department announced yesterday that Kwiatkowski worked at Arizona Heart Hospital and Maryvale Hospital in Phoenix from 2009 to 2010. He worked at the cardiac catheterization labs of the hospitals from March 2009 to June 2009, and from March 2010 to April 2010, respectively.
"To be clear, we do not know and may never know if this individual was positive for hepatitis C while working in Arizona in 2009 and 2010," county health department director Dr. Bob England says in a statement. "As a precaution, our affected hospitals are making every effort to make sure patients who could have been exposed are notified and offered testing."

Kwiatkowski allegedly spread the disease to at least 30 New Hampshire hospital patients through a scheme called drug diversion. Drug diversion occurs when hospital employees inject themselves with drugs meant for patients, then switch out the patient's treatment with another substance such as saline, the FBI says.
Kwiatkowski would steal an anesthetic drug called Fentanyl, which is essentially a more powerful version of the morphine. He'd then take the same syringes he used to inject himself with the drug and attach them to the replacement solutions, the FBI says.
Witnesses from the New Hampshire hospital told authorities that Kwiatkowski would sometimes come to the lab for procedures on his off days; he often looked like he was "on something," and he would some times exit lab procedures "sweating profusely," according to the FBI.
DNA samples taken by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services show that the strain of hepatitis C carried by Kwiatkowski matches the strain of 30 infected patients at the hospital. Additionally, each infection was diagnosed during the time frame that Kwiatkowski worked at the hospital.
Kwiatkowski told authorities that he didn't know he had the disease until May of this year, but evidence shows that Kwiatkowski was aware of the diagnosis as early as June 2010, records say.
Law enforcement officials say that Kwiatkowski has worked in at least six states since 2007, including Maryland, according to an AP report. Federal prosecutor John P. Kacavas said more charges are likely to follow for Kwiatkowski.
Patients who may have come in contact with Kwiatkowski while he worked at the two Phoenix hospitals can call the MCDPH at 602-674-6844 for more information and to find out about free hepatitis C screenings.

Rockers We've Lost in 2013: Arturo Vega
Artist Arturo Vega died on June 8. He was 65 years old. Vega was a close associate of the Ramones, creating the band's iconic logo. He also served as their archivist and live show lighting director. The cause of death has yet to be reported.
Vega befriended the band members in their earliest days, giving Joey and Dee Dee a place to live at his loft as they were getting the band together. He called them "the ultimate all-American band." Fellow fixture of the CBGB scene, Legs McNeil broke the news, calling Vega "the must optimistic, jubilant and fun pal anyone could wish for."

A WEIR in Colne could be used to generate electricity after a community group received funding for a feasibility study.
Waterside Neighbourhood Action Group has been awarded £500 by Pendle Council and £1,500 from Lancashire County Council to fund the survey at Colne Water.
The survey will determine if the flow of the water can be harnessed to generate hydro power.
Derek Mann, chairman of the group, said: "We have this great weir and I've always wondered if it would be worth getting a generator on it.
"I mentioned it to the action group and they all thought it would be a good idea and so we are very happy to have received the grant from Pendle Council and Lancashire County Council to help us find out just how feasible it is."
It is unclear how many homes would benefit from electricity from a community hydroelectricity scheme in Colne, but a similar project in Whalley, due to be completed in October, is expected to generate 345,000 kwh of electricity each year – enough to power at least 100 homes.
The turbine installed at Whalley weir cost £750,000, but those involved with the project say that after the initial outlay, the scheme is costless to run.
Derek said: "It cost Whalley a lot of money but our weir is smaller. Until the survey comes back, we won't know how much it would cost to implement and if it would be worth it, but we feel as though we definitely need to find out one way or another."
Fiona Cruchley, at Lancashire County Council's Environmental Project Team, said: "The study will be carried out by a specialist firm based in Kendal and will begin in the next week or so.
"They will mainly be looking at the force and flow of the water to determine how much energy could be generated and whether or not a hydroelectricity scheme would make sense for the community.
"The findings will be with us in eight to 12 weeks so we should know by early autumn if Colne can be considered for a hydroelectricity scheme."

Apollo Pharmacy, the country's largest branded drug retail network with over 1,500 outlets, has temporarily suspended sale of medicines manufactured by Ranbaxy Laboratories. It has also stopped further procurement from the company for now. "Our medical committee, which is a very strong committee within Apollo, has reviewed the matter and recommended, as a cautionary measure, we should temporarily suspend sale of Ranbaxy medicines, as we cannot take a chance with patients' safety. So, we have immediately issued an advisory to our pharmacies," Apollo Hospitals Executive Director Shobana Kamineni told Business Standard. She added Apollo had sent a questionnaire to Ranbaxy seeking details, including re-certification of the existing stock and test reports for other medicines. "We have nothing against Ranbaxy but we must respect what our medical committee has ordered… We have asked them (Ranbaxy) to re-certify whatever stocks we have till now. We have also asked for test reports of all those drugs and a bunch of other details," Kamineni said, adding Apollo's pharmacies would restart sale of Ranbaxy drugs after the company had fulfilled the requirements and satisfied the medical committee.

Edge of Empire: Lives, Culture, and Conquest in the East, 1750-1850 (Paperback)
Special Order
In this imaginative book, Maya Jasanoff uncovers the extraordinary stories of collectors who lived on the frontiers of the British Empire in India and Egypt, tracing their exploits to tell an intimate history of imperialism. Jasanoff delves beneath the grand narratives of power, exploitation, and resistance to look at the British Empire through the eyes of the people caught up in it. Written and researched on four continents, Edge of Empire enters a world where people lived, loved, mingled, and identified with one another in ways richer and more complex than previous accounts have led us to believe were possible. And as this book demonstrates, traces of that world remain tangible--and topical--today. An innovative, persuasive, and provocative work of history.
About the Author
Antoine Maya Jasanoff was educated at Harvard, Cambridge, and Yale and is currently assistant professor of British history at the University of Virginia. This is her first book.
Praise For…
"Spirited, teeming. . . . Jasanoff wants us to rethink the imperial experience." –The New York Times"Astute and moving. . . . As original--and beautifully written—as it is compelling to read." –The New York Sun"A historical tour de force, with wonderfully original and unusual material moulded into a convincing new narrative. Britain's empire will never look the same again."–The Guardian"Instead of concentrating on the 18th-and 19th-century European empire builders. . . . Jasanoff focuses on several ambitious, energetic, and eccentric men who used the East as a way to reinvent themselves....a fascinating and untold story." –The Boston Globe

Adele–North American Beer NOT Acceptable!
06 December 2011
I'm a big fan of Adele, and I doubt this makes any difference to me, but in an odd twist, the Smoking Gun obtained a copy of her tour riders. Not only does Adele insist that comped tickets include a donation to charity, but also she specifically requests the "best quality European lager beer i.e. Becks, Stella Artois, Peroni etc…North American beer is NOT acceptable." Clearly she hasn't tasted a Victory Prima Pils, or Troegs Sunshine Pilsner.

FreeBSD on EC2 Available Now
"For the FreeBSD community as a whole, I think it comes down to the fact that Amazon Web Services is the market leader -- other clouds each have their own advantages, but EC2 is the default first place to look." -- Colin Percival
Yesterday, Colin Percival, FreeBSD Security Officer, announced that FreeBSD is now available on Amazon EC2. What does EC2 availability mean to FreeBSD's future in the cloud? In an interview with Linux Pro Magazine, Percival said, "It's still pretty murky right now. This 'availability' is so far nowhere near the standard for stability which FreeBSD normally sets." Percival says that he hopes the stability will improve. "It all depends on having people test it and find bugs," he says.
Percival says he doesn't have any personal interest in other clouds. As a FreeBSD developer, however, he's interested in working with other companies to help them make FreeBSD available on their systems, particularly if he can get paid to do the work.
In the announcement post, Percival noted that his biggest complaint about Amazon EC2 was the inability to run FreeBSD on it. "For me personally, I have a much more selfish motivation," he says. "My online backup startup, Tarsnap, is built on top of Amazon Web Services, and the server code is running under Ubuntu. I have no specific objection to Ubuntu... but, well, it isn't FreeBSD," Percival adds.
When asked how many users started using FreeBSD on EC2 since the announcement was made, Percival said, "I have no idea. In hindsight, I should probably have set up this first test AMI to send me an email every time it was launched." About 10 people have contacted Percival and stated they have launched instances, but he noted there are about 100 people on his "want to use FreeBSD on EC2 when it's available" mailing list.
There are several ways that users can get involved in the FreeBSD community, such as mailing lists, forums, and the FreeBSD on EC2 status page for users to follow. Beyond those resources, users can launch FreeBSD instances on EC2 and report any problems.

June on the Farm
As I've mentioned before, it's hard for us to get away in the summer because of my husband's livelihood of farming. June always seems to be his busiest month, with lots of field work to be done, so that we seldom see him during the day unless it rains. In July and August, we have a chance at some camping weekends or quick vacations, but these can never be planned until the last minute. But not in June. June is when everything is growing, growing, growing.
Here is a glimpse of life on the farm in June.
June is green. Except for the blue sky and tan of the gravel road, when I look out my window in June, all I see is green.
June is colorful. The spring blooms of tulips and daffodils are gone, but others are taking their place:
June is a promise. The garden is blooming, and fruit is taking shape.
June can be rainy. The barn that is no longer used for animals is now the "sports barn," perfect for the kids to play in on days when they can't be outside.
June is mowing. We wish for the rain to help the crops grow well, but it also means mowing at least weekly. Even with a large mower, it takes two and a half hours to mow our 10 acres. Thankfully, this is my husband's task.
June is delicious. Rhubarb and asparagus are ending their seasons just as the strawberries begin.
June is mosquitoes. Although four dry years have kept them at bay, heading into the shady areas of the yard ensures a constant buzzing.
June is nature. Step outside and you'll hear birds singing in the trees, pheasants in the ditch bank, or the sound of water moving as the drain tile empties from the fields into the ditch. My son has even claimed a new pet.
June is traffic. This isn't the traffic you're used to if you live in the city, but there's a steady flow of farm equipment past the house. This morning, I saw a farm truck, tractor with sprayer, tractor with grain wagons, and pickup truck with cattle trailer, in the matter of just a few minutes.
June is growing. The corn field in front of the house has gotten taller in the past month, hasn't it? In another month, I won't be able to see the road.
June is wandering. Although my husband is hard at work, these are the laziest days for the kids and me, when we have no set schedule, nowhere to be, so we can find our fun when we want and enjoy staying home the rest of the time. I'm sure it won't last.
It's June on the farm. I wish you were here to share it.

Your Tiger Lilies are gorgeous! And yes, June is mosquitoes. I went to my parents house in rural Minnesota this weekend and got ATTACKED.
Happy to be back in St. Paul, but definitely do love all the greenery you have.
Beautiful photos! What an awesome look at life on the farm! I've never lived anywhere rural, so this is very different from what I'm accustomed to.

Thanks for sharing all of this. We may not be there face to face, but you've invited us all in just the same! )

I love these pictures. My kid would love that sports barn, heck I would love that sports barn so I can get him out of my sports living room.
# Debbie Ferm on 16 Jun 2010 at 11:04 pm
I love the photos! So familiar to me, as I grew up in Wisconsin with lots of farmers in the family.
My favorite is the photo of the strawberries. Yum-my!
# sojournrentals on 20 Jun 2010 at 7:56 am
Your blog is a lot of fun to visit. Thanks for capturing the magnificent beauty in nature. The picture of the farm are very stunning.
Gorgeous photos! This seems like a wonderful place for vacation!
# Bridget Smith on 22 Jun 2010 at 11:08 pm
Love this! Your kids must have so much fun. I remember quiet lazy days exploring my uncle's farm and of course fresh strawberrries!
.-= Bridget Smith´s last blog ..Photo Friday: Farewell to Preschool Adventures =-.
I was just catching up on your blog and wanted to tell you that I loved this post! The pictures are great, and your captions and text really gave me a sense of what it's like to be on the farm in June. Oh, and I'm totally jealous of the fresh strawberries.

I just found your blog and it's so great. I'm writing a story and the man is a crop farmer (there are reasons which I won't go into, why he HAS to be a farmer); anyway, as I'm a city girl so know absolutely nothing about farming I was looking around on the net for inspiration as to what people do on a farm, (because I know that you're always busy) and found your blog.
It's really informative, very helpful and I love seeing the pictures because it just puts it all in perspective.
I look forward to checking out your whole site. Thank you for taking the time to share with people like myself, who have no idea but either through necessity or curiosity need or want to know all life on a crop farming (hope I'm used the right term).
# Natalie - Turkish Travel Blog on 30 Jul 2010 at 7:18 am
To someone who grew up and has spent most of her life in big cities, your photos seem like another world.
They look like a stressful free, laid back way of life, but I should imagine life is very hard as well ( ie mowing ten acres! lol)
I grew up in the Uk and the farmer is very much under threat there. Competition and cheap prices from abroad.
Here in Turkey, it is great because farmers have a chance to survive. Every Saturday I go to the local market and buy fresh fruit and veg direct from the farmers.
A lot of tourists can not believe the size of freshness of the fruit here because they are so used to GM foods, that have had loads of chemicals added to it.
Well done on having such a beautiful farm. Don't envy your early mornings though! lOL

Let's take a look at some of the key titles in more detail:
FIFA scores with Xbox
Two important FIFA signings were announced for Xbox One at Gamescom. Firstly, all those who pre-order the Xbox One Day One Edition in Europe will get FIFA 14 completely free. Launch packs will include a download code for the game. Elsewhere, Xbox One owners will also have access to FIFA Ultimate Team Legends, a special version of the popular online game that gives gamers access to classic players like Ruud Gullit, Dennis Bergkamp, Pelé, Patrick Vieira, Gary Lineker and Freddie Ljungberg for their Ultimate Team.
Bundle for Call of Duty: Ghosts
A special Call of Duty: Ghosts bundle will be available for Xbox One when the hardware launches. The bundle will come with a download code for the new FPS. Furthermore, Ghosts on Xbox One will feature dedicated servers supporting multiplayer, powered by the cloud. As previously announced, Call of Duty DLC launches first on Xbox One and Xbox 360.
More exclusives for Xbox
Microsoft announced more new titles and partnerships at Gamescom. EA Popcap's Peggle 2 and Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare will launch with Xbox-first or exclusive content. Peggle 2 arrives this year, with PvZ due in 2014. Both add gesture control and other Kinect and SmartGlass features on Xbox One. Meanwhile, Ubisoft is working on Fighter Within, a new 'total combat' game that uses Kinect. Xbox is also working once more with Minecraft creator Mojang to bring its next project Cobalt to both Xbox One and Xbox 360.
Titanfall impresses GAMESCOM critics
Xbox One exclusive Titanfall – an original game launching in 2014 from some of the developers that created Call of Duty – won nine accolades at Gamescom. It was named Best Console Game and Best Next-Generation Console Game in the official Gamescom show awards, and it picked up a string of prizes from individual global games media outlets. Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall is a story-driven multiplayer first-person shooter, where players can summon and pilot giant mechs known as Titans.
New Fable game on the way
FABLE LEGENDS was also unveiled for Xbox One at Gamescom. The Lionhead title has been developed with Unreal Engine 4. Users can play through the title on their own with three AI controlled characters, or with three friends. Players can also play as the game's villain, putting them in control of creatures, minions, traps and hazards that the heroes will have to defeat. They can even use SmartGlass as a separate gameplay screen, hiding their decisions from rivals as they play on the TV.
Indie STUDIOS get free Xbox One dev kits
Qualifying studios will get two free development kits from Xbox as part of its Independent Developers @ Xbox scheme. The new programme offers self-publishing without fees and is designed to build a key link between small teams and Xbox's active online marketplace. ID@Xbox will begin in the autumn, and eventually Microsoft says it wants to make any Xbox One unit capable of being a dev kit for self-publishing indie games. That means anyone can be an Xbox One developer.

Amidst Debate, Time Warner Cable Adds More Channels to iPad App
The drama surrounding the Time Warner Cable iPad app continued Friday, with the cable channel adding 16 national and three local channels to its tablet lineup one day after it was forced to pull content from Fox, Viacom, and Discovery Communications.
New channels include A&E, Bravo, AMC, CNN, Disney, HGTV, USA, We, ESPNnews, and more.
"This is an incredibly diverse array of programming, including sports, news and public affairs networks," Jeff Simmermon, Time Warner's director of digital communications, wrote in a blog post. "Also included are our local news channels in each market where they're available. Customers will receive all of the available networks that are included in the cable package to which they subscribe."
A complete list of the channels coming to the app are available on Time Warner's blog.
Time Warner unveiled its iPad app on March 15. It lets Time Warner customers stream live TV to their Apple tablet over a Time Warner Internet connection, so they can watch cable content in multiple rooms. Content providers like Fox, as well as Discovery and Viacom, however, soon objected to the app because they said it constituted another distribution channel and Time Warner, therefore, should hand over more cash for the rights to stream those TV shows.
On Thursday, Time Warner pulled shows from Viacom, Discovery, and Fox from its iPad app. "Instead of rowing down the river of history and into the future, these programmers have chosen to sit on the bank and kick rocks," TWC's Simmermon said of their decision.
Discovery, Fox, and Viacom all declined to comment.
When the app came out, Scripps Interactive said it had "not granted iPad video streaming rights to any distributor and is actively addressing any misunderstandings on this issue." But Scripps distributes HGTV and Food Network, which were added to the iPad app today. A Scripps spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly"
The good news is December has been declared Bingo Celebration
Month! I used to love it when my family would play this, with
guests. Sometimes my cousins, sometimes neighbors, we would
be out on the picnic table with our chips and our Dad would be
the one to spin the wire caged wheel and pull out the wooden
balls with the letters, "B,I,N,G" or "O."
Did you know this is an 'ancient' game? It has been around since
the 1500's.
I used to love being the "Caller" for Bingo at the Arbors Nursing Home,
while my residents were always happy to call out, "Bingo!" The young
volunteers would run over and give them their quarter. When the whole
card got filled, we would start all over again. The reward for a filled card
was one dollar bill. This was a big exciting reward to the folks who lived
On a much more solemn note, December 16, 1944 was the day the big
"Battle of the Bulge" was carried out.
The Official End of WWII was on December 31, 1946.
Peace on Earth, Good will to Men.
Did you know every day of the month has a food item?
DECEMBER DAYS OF FOOD (Beverage or Other):
Dec. 1- National Pie Day.
Eat A Red Apple Day.
Dec. 2- National Apple Pie Day.
Dec. 4- National Cookie Day.
(Every day is this one for me! smiles)
Dec. 5- Repeal Day ~ Prohibition Day (U.S.).
National Sacher Torte Day.
(In Vienna, Austria a man named Franz Sacher created this
delicious chocolate, light cake or torte, in 1832.)
Dec. 6- National Gazpacho Day.
(Associated with Andalusia, part of Spain, but its roots go back
into Arab and other ancient times. Cold, savory soup, made of
raw vegetables.)
Also, National Microwave Oven Day.
(I do appreciate this electronic invention.)
Dec. 7- National Cotton Candy Day.
(Why is this in our winter? Is this for places who have fairs and
festivals in December?)
Dec. 8- National Chocolate Brownie Day.
Dec. 9- National Pastry Day.
Dec. 10- National Lager Day.
Dec. 11- National Noodle Ring Day.
(This is hard to find its roots, but mainly described as
a circle of noodles with a cheese incorporated into it,
attributed to Germany.)
Dec. 12- National Cocoa Day.
Dec. 13- National Ice Cream Day.
(Why, again, are we eating ice cream in the cold weather?
This must be made up by people in warmer climates.
Also, National Violins Day.
Dec. 14- National Bouillabaisse Day.
(I enjoy this savory, warm soup. It originated from fishing
villages in France. Marseilles may have been its first place
of origin, with three kinds of fish and Provencal seasonings.)
Dec. 15- National Cupcake Day.
**Dec. 16- National Chocolate-Covered Anything Day!!**
Woo hoo!
Dec. 17- National Maple Syrup Day.
(This would be the perfect day or excuse to make pancakes
or waffles!)
Dec. 18- National Suckling Pig Day.
(This comes from mainly Chinese cuisine, but there are some
references going back to Roman times. This is a very young
pig, which has a lot of collagen in its skin, hard to 'crisp up,'
while it is considered a delicacy.)
Dec. 19- National Hard Candy.
(What is your favorite hard candy?
My Dad's was either horehound or cinnamon drops.
Mom's was butterscotch drops. My favorite flavor is found in
either the caramel flavored Nips or Werther's candies.)
Dec. 20- National Fried Shrimp Day.
(This makes me think of Louisiana cooking with crawdads or
prawns. This would be prepared as Shrimp Creole. I enjoy
the butter sauce with garlic infusion: Shrimp Scampi.)
Also on the 20th- National Sangria Day.
(You probably already know this is my Mom's favorite wine
to sip on at bedtime, using a small juice glass. I have a
Spanish toast on another post…)
Dec. 21- National Hamburger Day.
Going from the red meat to fruit…
National Kiwi Fruit Day.
Dec. 22- National Date Nut Bread.
Dec. 23- National Pfeffernuesse Day.
(This traditional German spice cookie covered with powdered
confectioner's sugar is one that takes me back to my Grandma's
kitchen. It reminds me of the flavors of gingerbread cookies.)
Dec. 24- National Feast of the Seven Fishes.
(This comes from Italy, which celebrates the Wait or Vigil for
the Baby Jesus, by serving fish from the Mediterranean Sea.)
Also, National Egg Nog Day.
(I like this use of nutmeg, heavy cream and Irish whiskey or
other alcohol. Mom likes the non-alcoholic milky drink from
United Dairy Farmers.)
Dec. 25- National Pumpkin Pie Day.
(Just in case you didn't get enough of this holiday pie at
Dec. 26- National Candy Cane Day.
Dec. 27- National Fruit Cake Day.
Dec. 28- National Chocolate Candy Day.
(Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Easter also celebrate
this national holiday- just being 'facetious.')
Dec. 29- National Pepper Pot Soup Day.
(There are recipes for this Jamaican cuisine along
with one from Philadelphia.)
Dec. 30- National Bicarbonate of Soda Day,
(Thank you for this Baking Soda Day. I like to use this
special rising ingredient in many baked goods, but can
taste it the most in homemade biscuits.)
Dec. 31- National Champagne Day.
(Say a toast to "Auld Lang Syne" and Happy New Year, 2015!)
The research on some of these food items is not complete, but I did
look up the ones I did not know where the foods originated in. If
you would like to share a favorite family traditional food item in the
comments section, we would enjoy hearing about them. Thank you!

A DRY spell for Swindon yesterday was short lived as more wind and rain is predicted for the next few days.
But there was misery for rail travellers as flooding on the main line approaching London had a major impact on services.
Disruption for Swindon commuters will continue into today and may run on until the end of the week as flooding at Maidenhead plays havoc with access in and out of London.
Inspections of the track between Paddington and Maidenhead on Monday evening and Tuesday morning turned yesterday's timetable on its head, with the service down to three trains an hour between Swindon and the capital.
First Great Western, who operate Swindon railway station, is advising passengers not to travel unless absolutely necessary.
Due to the flooding, trains are running at a reduced speed between Paddington and Reading, with journey times extended to as much as 60 minutes on those trains which are continuing to run.
Yesterday there was one scheduled train per hour being cancelled through Swindon, with those trains due to leave Swindon at 59 minutes past the hour being cut, and this is expected to continue today.
As a result, any passengers trying to reach Great Bedwyn from Swindon via Reading, will need to make an earlier departure from Swindon to make their connecting train.
Passengers can postpone their journey and use their tickets later in the week. Ticket restrictions have been lifted across the First Great Western network until Friday. Services running between Cheltenham and Paddington will only run between Cheltenham and Swindon, with Kemble included in that arrangement.
Trains between London Paddington and Cardiff only will not run.
Stopping services between Paddington and Reading will only run between London Paddington and Maidenhead.
Stopping services between London Paddington and Oxford will only run between Twyford and Didcot Parkway.
The situation will change throughout today and Network Rail will issue ongoing instructions in response to the weather.
Passengers are advised to check the National Rail Enquiries website for the very latest information.
Elsewhere, police were called to the A361 between Highworth and South Marston at 10am yesterday morning after a tree came down in the wind. Swindon Council was tasked with clearing the scene and nobody was injured.
And on Monday, police were called by a member of the public who was concerned that youths were jumping in to the subway, above, between Covingham and Nythe, which had become heavily flooded.

U-M football great DESMOND HOWARD, the 1991 Heisman Trophy winner, was honored at the Michigan-Notre Dame "Under the Lights" game on Sept. 10, 2011, in recognition of his recent induction into the College Football Hall of Fame.

A 1991 consensus All-American, Howard became the first receiver in history to lead the Big Ten Conference in scoring, and he set or tied five NCAA records and 12 single-season Michigan records during his senior year. He is currently an analyst on ESPN College Football GameDay, which visited Ann Arbor for the Notre Dame game.

- Anxious night in Nimmitabel as evacuees wait and hope homes are spared
- Nature's fury kept at bay ... for now
- Great escape: facing up to the firestorm
- Cool change to bring relief but Saturday will be a scorcher
Hopes are building in Nimmitabel as owners return to their properties to discover their homes have been spared.
But reports are emerging of devastating livestock losses, with some property owners reportedly losing hundreds of cattle and sheep.
Fire had torn through about 9431 hectares of land south of Cooma by 4pm on Wednesday, forcing people out of their homes and reducing properties to blackened earth and bare trees
Rhonda McCarthy and her husband Chris fled their Kybeyan Road to a safe house on Tuesday afternoon and faced an anxious wait as the wall of fire bore down on pine forest next to the property they have lived in for 30 years.
But Mrs McCarthy returned to the home with her daughter on Tuesday evening to discover the house still standing and her pets, sheep and cattle spared.
"The first thing I saw was the cats running around, which was such a relief" she said.
"Our property's fine.
"We have been extremely fortunate."
Mrs McCarthy said her husband had stayed with water tankers near the main evacuation point in Nandawal overnight.
She said she had not heard of any homes being lost but residents were only just starting to return to their properties.
"I can see one neighbour's farm from here and it's fine but I can't see further because the hills are still on fire – that was all we could see all night."
Although her sheep and cattle had been spared, Mrs McCarthy said her neighbours were not so fortunate and were returning home to discover devastating stock losses.
She said one neighbour had lost hundreds of sheep and cattle – nearly all of the stock on their farm.
"It's not looking good," she said.
"It's going to be devastating today.
"There's another fellow near us and we don't know how he's fared either, but he had sheep and cattle as well.
"I'd say there would be a lot of stock loss or injured ones who have to be put down as well this morning.
"They've saved their houses but this is their livelihood."

Resource - Reading Miles Global Challenge passport
The Reading Miles passport is a way for pupils to record the amount that they are reading and track their progress through the Reading Miles Global Challenge.
10 minutes of reading is the equivalent of 500 reading miles, and every time a pupil reads for a 10 minute block, the person who is supervising their reading, whether it's a parent/carer, other family member or a member of staff at school, must mark this off in the passport – with a tick, their initials, a sticker, or whatever they choose.
Tip: Make sure you have your printer set to "booklet" when printing the passport.Download this file
