Yeah I agree with a lot of the reviews, the shampoo works great, your hair is full and thick, once you put this stuff on, your hair gets flat, really smooth and yes shiny, but the oomph and volume is lost. Really strange, why make a product to do the exact opposite of what its supposed to do? Whatever, I will plan on trying other products from Nick but yeah, this stuff isn't good at all.

I adore this. Gives my medium thick hair a little extra volume and gives bounce to my curls. It doesn't have a obnoxious scent and isn't greasy. I only need a little bit too. It hydrates without weighing my hair down. You can buy a small bottle of this at Ulta to try it out without breaking the bank. Will repurchase.

I'm on my 2nd bottle of this product and I LOVE it--This is finally the product I've been looking for and I've found it. I have long wavy brown hair with long layers in it. I love to air-dry my hair but without product my hair is a poofy mess. With this creme, I add a dime size dallop to gently towel-dried hair, comb through, twist into a loose chignon and let dry; later I let my hair down and it is shiny, soft, healthy and tangle free. I have fine long hair and L/I cond. does not weigh it down. Usage has made my hair very soft and healthy. I buy the travel size bottles at Ulta so I can take them with me.

Meh. This product didn't do anything for my hair. No frizz control, no texture difference. I love many other Nick Chavez products, but I can live without this conditioner.

I got this as part of a TSV set on QVC . The set comes with the matching plumping shampoo, a setting spray, hairspray and gloss spray.
This is a leave-in conditioner. Normally, I do not like leave-in conditioners. I feel they tend to weigh the hair down. But this one works well. You use a DIME-SIZE (no more) for longish hair (mine is shoulder-length or a bit more.) I start at the ends and scrunch it in. Immediately you see some waving and volume. It combs out well.
After blowdrying, my hair is smooth, not so fly-away but not heavily weighted or greasy. I did notice however that the glossing spray did not work as well on the hair after the conditioner AND the hairspray.
Of leave-in conditioners I've tried, this one is the best so far.

One word: AWESOME! I have thick curly hair that is quite delicate. Most products leave it heavy and flatten it out....but not this leave in conditioner. My hair is thicker, fuller, shinier, softer to the touch, and bouncier than it has been for 20 years. I have "happy" curls again!

I've been using this product for a month and I love it. I condition the ends of my hair with my normal Nioxin conditioner in the shower and I apply a dime-sized amount of this product at the root when I'm done. It helps control fly-aways (although it hasn't eliminated them completely). What I like most is that it gives my fine hair body and fullness. I also love the light strawberry scent. I plan to repurchase, but I expect the bottle to last a long time, since I only use a small amount each day.
If you're shopping in the Twin Cities, I saw this at the QVC store at the Mall of America for about $6 less than I paid at Ulta.
Edit: I've noticed that when I use this product on wet hair without blow drying afterward, it makes my normally straight hair a little bit wavy. I love it!

This stuff works. I have thinning hair, the temporal sides are almost see-through, but after using this stuff, I actually have body and volume. My hair feels and looks fuller and it holds a style a lot better. The only downside is, that the next day my roots are quite oily, so I have to use a dry shampoo in order to skip another wash.
Use only a little, dime size is completely enough, otherwise your hair might look a little grimy.
If you use it for the night, you will wake up to bouncy hair, no doubt.
All in all a really good product, keeps its promise.

Woman Facing Charges For Hitting Fiance After Being Called "Debbie Cakes"
If I went around punching everyone that called me a name I did not like, I would of hit a lot of people by now. On a daily basis I am greeted with a "Hello Bitch!" from Chris Monroe. Doesn't bother me at all.
That can't be said for this particular Florida woman. Deborah Frances Benafield came unglued when her fiance called her "Debbie Cakes". Benafield's fiance, a 23 year old woman, was hit in the head four times by her lover. Wow! Over "Debbie Cakes"? I might hit someone FOR eating my last actual Little Debbie Cake, but never for calling me one!
TC Toast is reporting that the fiance was not injured, however her super crazy partner is being charged with domestic battery. I think it is a safe bet that this relationship will not last.
I think I will go punch Chris Monroe after all.

Subscribe to the Mayor's Press Release feed
NEW ORLEANS, LA – Today, Governor Bobby Jindal announced his signature of Senate Bill 303. The new law allows for the Sewerage and Water Board to complete the hiring of Deputy Mayor Cedric Grant as its director. Mr. Grant has served as Deputy Mayor of Facilities, Infrastructure, and Community Development for the City of New Orleans since 2010. In the coming weeks, he will assume management of the Sewerage and Water Board as it begins a $3.3 billion capital improvement program. Following a nationwide search to replace outgoing Executive Director Marcia St. Martin, Mr. Grant was unanimously selected in December 2013 as the strongest and most qualified candidate for Executive Director by the SW&B Board of Directors.
"Cedric Grant has literally helped rebuild New Orleans," Mayor Mitch Landrieu said. "Throughout his distinguished 40 year career, Cedric has demonstrated exceptional leadership and integrity as a public servant. In his leadership of the Sewerage and Water Board, he will continue his efforts to rebuild and strengthen the infrastructure that is so critical to our city's growth and future. There is no person better prepared to take on the task of modernizing this critical public utility."
For the last four years, Deputy Mayor Grant has overseen the City's infrastructure and jumpstarted Hurricane Katrina recovery projects in nearly every neighborhood in the city. In this capacity, he has overseen the City's capital development, infrastructure projects, and community development initiatives. Under his direction in negotiations, the City has secured over $828 million in new FEMA recovery funds to repair important facilities and interior neighborhood streets.
Senate Bill 303 clarified the intent of the legislation the Landrieu administration had passed in 2011 that allowed the Mayor to designate an unclassified member of his administration to attend Sewerage and Water Board meetings in his absence. It was never the intent of the administration that the bill would have the effect of making the mayor's staff designee a full-fledged, independent member of the board, which would have prevented Mr. Grant from assuming leadership of the Sewerage and Water Board.
Mr. Grant came to City Hall after serving as Chief Administrative Officer of Ascension Parish, Louisiana, where he was responsible for management and oversight of all governmental operations. In 2004, Governor Blanco appointed Mr. Grant as Deputy Secretary of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, where he served until 2008. Prior to his appointment at the State, Mr. Grant held numerous managerial and administrative positions in government, including service as Chief Administrative Officer for the City of New Orleans. Mr. Grant has also served as Planning Manager for the Port of New Orleans and Director of Capital Projects for the New Orleans Downtown Development District. Mr. Grant served his country in the U.S. Army and completed 23 years of active and reserve service, retiring in 1995 with the rank of major.

Local Markets and Regional Trade in Medieval Exeter
This book examines the vital role of market towns in the medieval economy. It focuses on Exeter, and on how it served as an important link in a marketing chain that connected local, regional, and overseas trade. Although small by most standards (the population stood at around 3,100 in 1377), Exeter was the largest town in south-western England and had long played a central role in the marketing hierarchy of the region. Its functions can be illustrated through prosopographical analysis, a methodology which creates 'collective biographies' of specific groups of traders, thereby revealing the identity - status, occupation, residence - of buyers and sellers, the goods they exchanged, where they traded, and how they marketed their goods. Such an approach also helps to characterise the town's regional networks of trade and hinterland.

Potential clients often ask: "I have this million dollar idea I want to pitch to Company A, but if I ask them sign an NDA, they won't have the meeting. Could they steal my idea?"
The answer is frequently "yes," if the company does not sign a nondisclosure or other written agreement acknowledging the confidentiality of the idea.
That unfortunate fact was demonstrated in a case in which entertainment broker Bonnie Vent cold-called Mars Snackfoods and pitched an idea for a cross-promotion featuring characters from the Addams Family television show on M&Ms candies. According to Vent, Mars subsequently declined to use her idea, but eight months later, Mars ran advertisements featuring M&Ms candies altered to resemble the cast of the program:
In its decision, the federal Second Circuit Court of Appeals rejected her claim for compensation, and in doing so, set forth a nice primer on property-based misappropriation of ideas under New Jersey law. (Property-based misappropriation of idea claims share many elements with trade secret claims. Many states also allow contract-based misappropriation of ideas claims.)
According to the court, in the absence of a contract, an idea is protected against misappropriation only if: 1) it is novel; 2) it is made in confidence to the recipient; and 3) it is utilized by the recipient.
The court ruled that Vent's claim failed the second requirement, because there was no confidentiality between Vent and Mars.
Vent did not claim that she offered an NDA or even discussed confidentiality during her pitch call with the Mars representative, but argued that: 1) confidentiality was implied because Mars, as the more powerful party in the relationship, had a fiduciary duty (obligation to take care of her interests); and 2) confidentiality was implied by custom in the entertainment industry.
A confidential relationship may be implied between parties if there is a fiduciary relationship between them, for example if the parties are in a relationship where one is vulnerable to or relies on special skills or knowledge of the other. This was not such a case, because Vent cold-called the Mars representative, and volunteered the information. Normally, a fiduciary relationship cannot be formed without the consent of both parties, ruled the court.
A confidential relationship may also be implied if customary in an industry, but assuming such a custom exists in the entertainment industry, the court ruled that it did not apply to Mars, which is not in the entertainment industry. (The decision referred to a case in which it was held that confidentiality is customary for idea pitches in the toy industry.)
One caveat — the law of misappropriation of ideas is state-based, with a wide variation in law among states. However, many (not all) states use some variation of the New Jersey three-part test of novelty, confidentiality, and utilization to decide when the idea originator must be compensated for property-based claims, and sometimes even for contract-based claims.
Takeaway: granted, it is often tough to get an audience before a large company or venture capitalist to pitch your million dollar idea, but before you do so, carefully balance the benefit of requesting a nondisclosure agreement against the risk of losing the idea, or worse yet, getting ensnared in endless, Kafkaesque litigation:

Skip Morrison sustained a back injury during the two years he served in the Army. Now the 55-year-old is classified as 100-percent disabled.
But that doesn't begin to describe the obstacles that the Poulsbo, Washington veteran faces.
Morrison said he battles for months and months to get referrals from the local VA for specialists — but at least he has his counter-full of pills he said the VA doctors prescribe him for his pain.
"You know it's sad the way the way we're treated," he tearfully told KIRO-TV in Seattle. "We fight for our country and we gotta fight for everything we're entitled to. It's not right."
A reporter from KIRO sat down with Morrison to discuss the problems he said he's been having with the Puget Sound-area Veterans Affairs medical system. Check out the interview below:

Celtics' game goes south
They leave winning ways at border, suffer untimely defeat
TORONTO -- When the Celtics look back at the end of this season and wonder why they are not a playoff team, they can point to a game like the one last night at the
Boston (24-35) passed through customs on a roll, having won six of its last nine contests, having taken Miami to the wire and held off Indiana at the buzzer, having returned from a four-game trip west with a 3-1 record. The Celtics wanted anyone who would listen to believe they finally were making a serious push toward the postseason, that there was still a chance they could grab the No. 8 seed. If that was true, they shoulda defeated the equally young, equally inconsistent Raptors (21-38), even without the services of starting point guard Delonte West for most of the game because of a strained right groin.
But by the time Boston seemed to realize a win over Toronto would mean more in the standings than playing Miami close, it was too late.
''It hurts," said Paul Pierce, who had 33 points. ''Every loss hurts at this point in the season, especially when we're so far behind trying to make up games. Hopefully, we can get back on track in Washington [tomorrow night]. We've got to move on. [The Raptors] would have beaten most teams [last night] the way they shot the ball."
The Celtics trailed by 10 after a pair of Jose Calderon free throws with 1:55 remaining in the fourth. Then, as if suddenly snapped to attention, Boston reeled off a 7-1 run over the next 53 seconds and closed within 4 (105-101). After the ensuing timeout, when Pierce took the floor with Tony Allen, Orien Greene, Gerald Green, and Wally Szczerbiak, the captain told former teammate Mike James the Celtics would win the game. Pierce really believed they had a legitimate chance. James was wise enough to stay quiet and let his play speak for him as he made eight trips to the line in the final minute (he went 6 for 8) to seal the game.
''When we score over 100 points, we've got to find a way to win the game," said Szczerbiak (23 points). ''I thought we played hard as a team. We're not going to quit. When we're down, we can always come back. When we get hot, we can score. I don't think the problem was scoring points. I think the problem was at the defensive end."
Judging from last night, they not only spell ''defence" differently in Canada, they play it differently. Or not at all as far as the Raptors were concerned, and not on the perimeter as far as the Celtics were concerned. Although Toronto led by as many as 8 points in the first, 9 in the second, and 10 in the third, the home team could not hold onto any sizable advantage for any length of time because it could not stop the Celtics. Boston finished the game shooting 55.4 percent from the floor. Toronto shot 54 percent, including 46 percent from 3-point range. The Raptors' proficiency from outside more than made up for their inadequacy inside; they were outscored, 58-16, in the paint.
Shots from the arc plagued Boston all night as Toronto hit 11 of 24 3-point attempts, including big ones from Matt Bonner in the second and fourth and Charlie Villanueva and Morris Peterson in the third. With 2 minutes 48 seconds remaining in the fourth, James appeared to deal a decisive blow with a 3-pointer from the left wing that gave Toronto its largest lead (102-89). Boston could not respond in kind from the arc with West, the team's best 3-pointer shooter, sidelined.
With 85 seconds left in the third, Bonner found Peterson on the perimeter for a 3-pointer that pushed Toronto ahead, 82-72. But Boston knew it could shoot its way back into the game. And the visitors did, staging a 9-0 run to pull within 1 with 9:49 left in the fourth. But the Celtics allowed Bonner and James to keep making shots from 3-point range as the Raptors regained their lead and then some.
''We had our chances," said Pierce, who also had 7 rebounds and 5 assists and whose team entered halftime ahead, 52-51. ''We just didn't make the necessary stops. We got them to 1, but it was tough stopping them all night. They shot the 3-ball well. They moved the ball well.
''We said before the game that they were a good offensive team. We had to get to their scorers. And all their big scorers had good games tonight, and it's tough to withstand it when that happens."

Keep your boat's bow away from your winch and in line with it while you are trailering. The bracket accepts any 3" to 4" bow roller or Y-stop. 11-Gauge pre-galvanized steel can be painted to match your trailer.
Typically found on winch stands mounted on trailer tongues, bow roller brackets position a bow roller or Y-stop in front of the winch to prevent the boat's bow from making contact with the winch.
Pre-Galvanized Steel
Pre-galvanized steel parts are stamped from a sheet of steel after it has already been galvanized. The edges of the pre-galvanized parts often lose their zinc coating during the stamping process. Because of the thinness of the coating (less than 1 mil) and the fact that the edges remain exposed, pre-galvanized parts can begin to oxidize and rust quickly, so it's recommended that they be primed and painted.

Today were going to review part number CE31005PG. This is the CE Smith Bow Roller Bracket for Winch Stands. This bracket will keep your boats bow away from your winch and in line with it while youre trailering. It accepts a 4-inchu right in there. Those rollers are sold separately. This part can be painted to match your trailer.
That is typically found on winch stands mounted on the trailer tongue. The bow roller brackets position a bow roller or Y-stop in front of the winch to prevent the boats bow from making contact with the winch. This heavy-duty bracket will mount behind or below the winch. In other words, you could have your winch just to mount to the winch stand and then your winch can mount through here on to the winch stand or you can actually have your winch mounted to the winch stand and then this would be right below the winch. It is a bolt-on insulation but it does not include any or mounting hardware.
This part is a sturdy pre-galvanized 11-gauge steel construction. It can be primed and painted to provide even more resistance to corrosion and to match your trailers paint finish. The pre-galvanized steel parts are stamped from a sheet of steel after its already been galvanized. What that means is the edges of the pre-galvanized parts will often lose their zinc coating during the stamping process and because of the thinness of the coating which is usually less than one millimeter and the fact that the edges remain exposed, pre-galvanized parts can begin to oxidize and rust quickly. So it is recommended that they be primed and painted.
This part is made in the USA, does contain one bracket, a few dimensions on it. It is four inches wide and the length or height of it is 13 and 3/16. That should do it for our review on part number CE31005PG. .

I have a 35+ plus year old shorelander boat trailer. I had recently purchased a 12 foot tracker flat bottom Jon boat. The problem I had was trying to fit my new tracker flat front boat to my old bow stop. My old bow stop is V shaped. I found a bow stop from etrailer for flat front Jon boats but it did not fit the bracket on my old trailer. I did a little research on this site and found the perfect solution. The solution was a wider mounting bracket to hold the new bow stop. The bow stop is a Yates 3 inch wide. My old bow stop was a Yates 2 inch V. The bracket is very universal for older trailers. etrailer is the only company I could find that offered this product. The prices are great and the shipping is good. I have also purchased new axle mounting plates and leaf spring bushings from here for the same trailer and they fit like a glove. The axle mounting plates and bushings are made by the same people as the bow stop bracket which is CE Smith. Thank you etrailer! I will be a continued customer! 436453

Great for PWCs and fishing boats but probably a bit lightweight for larger boats. Works well on my Sea Doo trailer. I was going to make my own, but for what I could buy the material for, I was able to buy two of these. Bottom line, I'd buy these again for what I'm using them for. 417010

Friends sent me to three different stores for this bracket. Friends are fired, eTrailer is hired! Ordered on Thurs, arrived on Tues. Three e-mails from eTrailer kept me informed of the tracking. Product is exactly what was shown online. And a follow up e-mail from eTrailer asking if I received it. Nice work all through the process. I'm a client for life! 80748

The bow stopper bracket was an exact replica of the 20 yr old broken one on my Hustler jon boat trailer. Standard shipping got me the part in only 2 days. Sweet. Might add a 2x4 to the center for strength to handle occassional boat imact when motoring onto the trailer. This is a great site to find difficult to locate trailer parts. 346475

The bracket worked perfectly, bolted right on as advertised, and even got shipped to me earlier that it was supposed to! Communication from etrailer is excellent! I got order, tracking, and delivery confirmation emails as well. I'll definitely be ordering again soon! Thanks! 244059

This bow roller bracket is sturdier than I thought it would be. The edges are a little rough, but nothing I can't take care of to keep the costs down. It also fits the the 4" Bow roller well along with the shaft and end caps. Outstanding service and turnaround. 111864

This bracket worked out perfectly for my installation. I mounted it below the winch for two reasons: it is too narrow for the winch I already had, and the bow stop needed to be positioned below the winch attachment point on the boat (the front boat handle). 252483

I recieved the product, spray painted it silver. I installed it behind the winch,lower bolt hole. I had to remove the center bolt from the winch and reinstall it , to get it to go on. Great item. thanks! 74494

Etrailer was the only place that I found the bow stop bracket I needed for my jon boat. The price was reasonable and shipping was fast. I would recommend etrailer to others for sure. 254325

Nice and simple product. Allowed us to have a longer arm for a bow eye for a boat so we didn't hit the boat with the winch handle. Easy to install and slid right over my winch. 439576

Here comes Santa!
It was a snowy, blustery Monday evening in Detroit Lakes.
But that didn't seem to deter the four dozen or so local residents who came out to enjoy the community bonfire late that afternoon, or the 30-odd people who showed up for the American Cancer Society tree lighting at the DL Library later that evening.
And it certainly didn't deter the kids and parents who lined up along Washington Avenue to view Santa's Grand Parade of Lights.
There were more than two dozen entries in the parade, which lasted roughly 40 minutes.
Participants included the Detroit Lakes fire, police and street departments, Arvig Communication Systems, Norby's Department Store, Becker Pet & Garden, Nereson's, the Detroit Lakes Community & Cultural Center, Becker County 4-H, Marco, Community Alliance Church, Mount Tabor Masonic Lodge, Washington Square Mall and Minnesota State Community & Technical College (M State).
"I think it was good -- there weren't any problems," said parade chair Jill Mack. Despite the weather, the number of participants was significantly higher than in previous years.
According to Mack, there were prizes given for the most memorable entries in three categories: The "Lightest & Brightest" Award went to M State; Creativity Award to Becker Pet & Garden, and the Non Profit Award went to Community Alliance Church.
"We had two that we wanted to list as honorable mentions because they were also exceptional floats," she added. "One was the Detroit Lakes Fire Department -- they were lit up just beautifully -- and Wasche's Machine Shop of Perham was a great addition this year too."
The prize packages included radio and newspaper advertising, Chamber Bucks and more.
After the parade, volunteers from the American Cancer Society and about three dozen area residents were on hand for the tree lighting ceremony at the library.
It was the first year that the Cancer Society had sponsored the event. To commemorate the occasion, the ceremony included a presentation from Detroit Lakes City Alderman -- and cancer survivor -- Ron Zeman.
As Zeman noted, "Cancer has affected all of us here in one way or another -- we all know someone who has cancer, or has had it."
Zeman also noted that the Cancer Society has helped many people, from low-income breast cancer screenings for women to housing for cancer patients through its Hope Lodges. (In Minnesota, there are Hope Lodges located at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester and the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities.)
Zeman talked about his experience four years ago, when he learned he had developed prostate cancer that spread to his colon.
"I was there (for treatment at the Mayo Clinic) for 3½ months," he said, adding that he stayed at the Hope Lodge in Rochester while he was a patient there.
"Your gifts (to the Cancer Society) do make a difference, in many ways," Zeman said.
The Parade of Lights is just the first of many holiday events taking place in the lakes area over the next several weeks, as was announced during the parade:
The Washington Square Mall will be offering "Photos & Wishes with Santa" every Saturday and Sunday during the first three weekends in December, from noon to 4 p.m. Proceeds from sale of the photos will be given to the Mount Tabor Masonic Lodge, for distribution to area families in need of assistance during the holidays.
There will also be free sleigh rides leaving from the mall parking lot on the first three Saturdays in December, from noon to 3 p.m.; and on Saturday, Dec. 11, the mall will host a Kids' Christmas Party, beginning with free holiday movies at Cinema 5 at 10 a.m., and followed by holiday activities in the mall from noon to 4 p.m.
M State will host "Breakfast with Santa & Mrs. Claus" on Sunday, Dec. 5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the college cafeteria. Proceeds will benefit children's services programming at the Lakes Crisis & Resource Center in Detroit Lakes.
The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train will stop in Detroit Lakes at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 14, for a special holiday concert. Donations will be collected at the concert for the Becker County Food Pantry.
Other "Light Up the Lakes" events this holiday season will include a series of concerts at the Historic Holmes Theatre, starting this Saturday, Dec. 4, with a performance by the O'Neill Brothers & Katie McMahon at 7:30 p.m. John Berry comes to the Holmes on Saturday, Dec. 11, at 7:30 p.m., and the Lakes Area Community Concert Band will perform its annual holiday concert on Sunday, Dec. 12, at 4 p.m. The "Rock & Roll Christmas Spectacular" will wind up the schedule on Thursday, Dec. 16, at 7:30 p.m.
Christmas at Emmanuel is Saturday, Dec. 4; Norby's Department Store's annual Holiday Customer Appreciation Night takes place on Monday, Dec. 6; the Becker County Historical Society Holiday Tea Party is Saturday, Dec. 11; and Zorbaz on the Beach will hold its annual "Winter Fezt" on Sunday, Dec. 26.
A complete holiday schedule is available at the Detroit Lakes Regional Chamber of Commerce website, www.visitdetroitlakes.com.

I was in Wal-Mart yesterday. Our store was renovated last summer and they greatly reduced the fabric section. I noticed that there seems to be a lot more fabric now and took a closer look to be sure.
A lot of the fabric was priced $9.97 a yard!!!! I can buy it for less at LQS. Have the prices been this high at WM or is this new?

The subject of Ryan Gosling brings to mind another actor who shares the same first name: Ryan Reynolds. For two years — between 2008 and 2010 — Reynolds was married to Scarlett Johansson and that brings us to our next Hollywood update for the day. Super-sexy ScarJo is set to walk down the aisle again, this time with French journalist Romain Dauriac. We hear the couple began dating in November 2012, shortly after Scarlett split from her boyfriend of one year, Nate Taylor. Ryan Reynolds beat Scarlett to the altar by marrying his Green Lantern co-star Blake Lively in September 2012, but the news of his ex-wife's engagement is sure to strike a chord nonetheless. With Hollywood's marriages faring worse than its films, we're just surprised at how many stars opt for a second and third shot at it.

Pamela Anderson has filed a request for a restraining order against a man she claims has been "stalking and harassing me, my sons and other family members for more than a month," court records show.
In court documents obtained by the TV show Extra and dated Sept. 15, Anderson said she saw William Stansfield, 29, talking to her 7-year-old son at school. She said when she approached him, he told her he wanted her to stop working on her TV series Stacked and commit to a movie he had written for her.
"I was very uncomfortable and immediately told him to leave us alone, and my sons and I left the school," the former Baywatch star stated.
Anderson, 38, cited three other incidents in which Stansfield allegedly confronted her mother, sister-in-law and a baby sitter that "frightened me tremendously," the declaration also states.
A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 3 in Los Angeles Superior Court.

DH and I are beginning to plan a vacation for May 2006. Every year for the past five years, we have gone to St. John and absolutely loved it - love the snorkeling, ability to rent a reasonably priced villa, relatively easy to get to, good variety of dining options. While I am sure we will go back, we are finally ready to try a new island!
DH would like to go to Kuaui, but I am leaning towards the Caribbean. I have been to Maui and enjoyed it, but did not love it.
The island of Mayreau and Saltwhistle Bay seems like a great place to start planning around, primarily because of the snorkeling and close proximity to Tobago Cays. While I typically am not a big "island hopper" - usually preferring to stay in one spot for the trip duration...I think this trip I will reconsider...particularly since it appears to be quite a journey to get here from the midwest. Also, Saltwhistle Bay appears to include meals (breakfast/dinner) in the rates and we would like to stay somewhere for a few days where we can "explore" some dining options.
So...if we plan to stay on Mayreau for 5 nights and we have a total of 10 nights? What nearby island would you suggest? (that sounds a bit like a math problem!)
We like to hike, snorkel, relax. No need for any big night life, etc.
Thanks in advance.

Barbados is certainly a place for varied dining options, as well as interesting sightseeing. It is well-developed around Bridgetown and on the coast both sides of Bridgetown. Elsewhere is much quieter, with plenty of nature settings.

Mayreau is a very small island (there's only about 200 residents), outside of the "resort' at Saltwhistlebay there's not much to do which is why breakfast and dinner are included in the room rate. Quite honestly, 5 days on this island doing nothing but sit on the beach might be a bit too reserved for some people but if you go to the Tobago Cays mid-way during your stay you might find the change welcome. FYI - I don't recall there being very much snorkeling around Mayreau so you'll definitely want to take that side trip to the Tobago Cays to get your snorkel fix.
Since the Mayreau experience is so laid back you probably will want to visit bigger more "active" island for the remainder of your vacation if a variety of dining options is your pleasure. The aforementioned Barbados is one such place as is Grenada and perhaps St. Vincent. Any of the other Grenadines will be too similar to Mayreau.

hi laura, i did a lot of research for an upcoming trip to st.v&g, and wanted to mention that bequia has the most villas in this group. mayreau and union island do seem to be the places to do tobago cays from as bequia is a bit further north.
chances are that you will fly through barbados - so that might be a good switch. a british island, much more expensive but loads of things to do and restaurants to try. another possiblity is st. lucia.
when we go we are doing a villa week on bequia, then a few days on union just for tobago cay snorkeling then another villa week on west coast barbados. (for almost all the barbados info you could want e-mail lois swanson at [email protected] or type in her name in box above)
Report Abuse
Would also suggest a few days in Bequia with a side trip to the mainland St. Vincent

My husband and I are doing a similar trip next May. We will be flying into Barbados and then right on to Mayreau for 4 nights at Saltwhistle Bay Club. I picked that resort mainly because it looks beautiful, adn I like that fact that it is so remote. For activitiy I figure we can climb the hill and go into "town". Also picked there as I feel it is a great jumping off point for a couple of day trips to the Tobago Cays.
From there we are heading to Bequia for a few nights adn then finishing up on Young Island where we spent our honeymoon 15 years ago.
If you do decide on Saltwhistle Bay, maybe we'll see you there. We are staying there from 5/5 thru 5/9.
All I can say is, I can't wait!

Sounds like you've got a great trip ahead of you! I was in the same stage last year that you're in now, trying to figure how to divvy up my two weeks in the southern Caribbean. I ended up doing 5 nighs on Bequia and 9 on Grenada and it was probably the best vacation I've ever been on. I could have used at least one week more in each place, though, so I'll clearly have to go back!
I personally love the looks of Saltwhistle Bay Club and I would love to stay there in the future. However, I'm not sure it's that easy to get to the Tobago Cays from there. If you're looking for a place with intense R&R, I think you neeed look no further. If you want a place that's just a jumping off place to get to the Tobago Cays, however, you might be better off checking out Union Island. Union lacks the atmosphere of Mayreau, but you could easily get to the Cays every day from there.
To throw you in another direction altogether, there's a very nice 4-night package offered by the Tamarind on Canouan that includes daily breakfast & dinner plus one daytrip to the Cays. You might want to give some thought to that one if you're looking more for R&R.
I think it would be a shame to be in the Grenadines and not see Bequia, and if you only want to make one daytrip to the Tobago Cays, you can do it from Bequia on the lovely schooner, Friendship Rose. Bequia's got some great little villas at unbelievable prices compared to other islands. It's small and easy to get around, and the rhythm of the island really gets under your skin.
Barbados is an easy gateway to get to and from the Grenadines (I used it myself last year because I was able to get one FF ticket there) because of the SVGAir connections to Union, Bequia, and Mustique from there. However, if you just want to do Bequia, it would be just as easy to use St. VIncent as your jumping off point.
You really can't go wrong with any of the combos you or the rest of us suggested. It's just a matter of finding which island combo might be best for you.

Just a thought, have you considered doing a Windjammer sailboat cruise? We did this trip a few years ago and loved it. Found it was a great way to see numerous islands in that area with a taste of each. We flew to Grenada and then sailed in St. Vincent & the Grenadine islands. Bequia, Carriacou, Tobago Cays, Mayreau etc. It was lots of fun. Worth considering IMO if you want to see numerous islands. www.windjammer.com
Report Abuse
We sailed these island in November on a bareboat charter. IMHO 5 days on Mayreau would be way too much. Other than the SWB beach (which is beautiful, but small) there isn't much to see or do. The snorkeling is dismal. The restaurants in town are minimal and the food is pretty basic. Tobago Cays snorkeling is nice, but there is no place to stay there, so one has to be on a boat at anchor. We anchored our boat there for several days and would watch the daytrippers come and go. They make a pretty fast trip of it. If DH wants Kuaui and you give him Mayreau, I should think he could be very disappointed. Although there are some resorts, the Grenadine islands are geared toward independent sailors living on boats.

Was at Saltwhistle about 4 years ago. The beach is really beautiful, and there was excellent snorkeling (facing out from the beach) toward the left.

MOSCOW, June 18 (UPI) -- Russian energy company Gazprom said it was reviewing the prospects of taking over an energy company in Armenia.
Gazprom chief Alexei Miller hosted Armenian Energy Minister Armen Movsisyan at his headquarters in Moscow. Gazprom said it hosted the meeting to discuss further bilateral cooperation in the Armenian natural gas sector.
"The meeting also looked into the possibility of increasing Gazprom's stake in ArmRosgazprom to 100 percent," the company said in a Monday statement.
The company is currently a joint venture among Gazprom, the Armenian Energy Ministry and a private Russian holding company. It buys Russian natural gas from Gazprom at the border and distributes it to domestic markets.
Armenia is 100 percent dependent on foreign natural gas supplies to meet its energy demands. The European government is looking at natural gas from Armenia's eastern neighbor Azerbaijan to help break the Russian grip on the regional energy sector.
A BP-led group development of natural gas reserves off Azerbaijan is expected to choose between the Trans-Adriatic and Nabucco West pipelines to deliver natural gas to Europe.
Gazprom said last week it reached an agreement with the Republic of Srpska, a political entity within Bosnia and Herzegovina, for developing the South Stream natural gas pipeline, viewed as a rival to European pipeline plans for southern Europe.

Senator Rivera Issues Statement Regarding the Senate's Passing of the 2011-2012 Budget
New York, NY – Senator Gustavo Rivera (D, WF-Bronx) joined his colleagues in the State Senate last night in voting on the 2011-2012 Budget. Senator Rivera issued the following statement regarding the budget:
"I congratulate Governor Cuomo for his commitment to passing an on-time budget. During this budget process, there were a number of concerns I felt needed to be addressed, among them the restoration of funding for critical services such as funding for education, for SUNY and CUNY, summer school programs as well as Title XX funding for seniors. I was also vocal about the importance of extending the personal income tax for the wealthiest New Yorkers and the inclusion of stronger rent laws in the budget. I am pleased to report that funding allocated to education, SUNY and CUNY, summer school programs and Title XX funding was restored in the final budget and that the four senior centers that would have been in danger of closure in my district do not have to worry about losing this important revenue stream.
Unfortunately, the other concerns I enumerated were not addressed during the budget process. Consequently, I am concerned that the impact of budget cuts, particularly in the area of education, will place a disproportionate burden on low-income communities, middle class families and communities of color like the ones I represent. While I believe Albany and our state government working in a timely and effective manner is critical and should be celebrated, I am concerned that aspects of the budget that was just passed in Senate do not reflect the values of shared sacrifice and shared responsibility I believe are critical to putting together a fair budget during tough economic times.
While sizable cuts for education funding and social services were made in the budget, there was legislation that provided a significant tax cut for wealthy New Yorkers by not extending current personal income tax rates. For that reason, I could not vote in favor of each of the budget bills.
However, I will continue to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to ensure the extension of the personal income tax for wealthy New Yorkers, which is currently scheduled to expire at the end of 2011. Additionally, I am confident that with the support of our Governor, we will be able to pass legislation to not only extend, but strengthen, current rent regulation laws due to expire in June of this year."
The 2011-2012 Budget was divided into 11 bills, two of which Senator Rivera voted against. The final bill was passed right before midnight on March 30, 2011, making the passing of State Senate budget early.

Baseball Hall of Fame Honoree Worked in Quincy
This Sunday, the Hall of Fame Induction ceremonies will take place in Cooperstown, New York, a small hamlet less than an hour from where I used to live. This year's induction ceremony will have a tie to Quincy in that the late Bill King will received the Ford C. Frick Award Sunday.
As a long time member of the American Sportscaster's Association, I receive information regarding current and past play-by-play announcers from all over the country. In a recent edition of the "Insider Sportsletter" magazine there was a story about the "The Voices" that are gone, but not forgotten. The names of Mel Allen, Curt Gowdy, Lindsey Nelson, Don Dunphy, Howard Cosell, Jack Buck, Harry Caray and Bill King are listed. Bill who?
Bill King was extremely well-known in the Bay Area of California as he broadcast the Oakland Raiders, Athletics and Warriors games for years. King was a three sport broadcaster, which is very rare these days. He was also an Illinois native and was born in Bloomington, Illinois.
He began his broadcasting career during World War Two with the Armed Forces Radio Network. He would convert play-by-play accounts of games as they came in over the wire and broadcast them in a manner that made it sound as if he were actually at the game.
After the war, he began his professional sportscasting career in Pekin, Illinois broadcasting high school football and basketball games as well as minor league baseball games. In 1952 King made his way to the microphones of WTAD in Quincy broadcasting local sporting events. He later announced basketball games for Bradley University and basketball and football games for the Nebraska before moving in 1958 to the Bay Area to broadcast the San Francisco Giants.
King, known for his famous line of "Holy Toledo," passed away in October of 2005 at the age of 78.
A book written by Ken Korach is now available about Bill King. It is called "Holy Toledo…Lessons from Bill King: Renaissance Man of the Mic". Korach worked as King's partner in the broadcast booth for ten years and shares the life and times of King in his new book.

British Red Cross has warned the public to stay safe and care for the vulnerable this festive season, as temperatures continue to plummet and more travel disruptions are predicted. Red Cross emergency teams are responding across the UK as severe weather conditions and heavy snow continue to blanket many parts of the country.
Martin Annis, Head of Emergency Planning at the British Red Cross said: "With thousands of people heading off for Christmas, and the severe weather effecting travel plans up and down the country, we are urging everyone to be prepared. We are also increasingly concerned about the risk to the vulnerable – such as the elderly, sick and destitute refugees and asylum seekers - as forecasts suggest the icy weather won't be loosening its grip on the UK over the holidays.
"We have volunteers and staff supporting ambulance services, medical staff as well as stranded rail and road users, affected by the harsh weather. Due to the severity of the situation we have released £21,000 from our Disaster Fund to help with the response," he added.
The Met Office has forecast snow to affect large parts of the UK over the holiday period, with the risk of up to 20cm of fresh snow over the high ground of southwest England and south Wales. Temperatures are also expected to drop to as low as -26C according to reports.
The British Red Cross staff and volunteers, skilled in fields as diverse as first aid, practical and emotional support, and the coordination of emergency response have in the past week been preparing for a busy time over the Christmas period.
The Red Cross emergency response includes:
The Red Cross has posted advice for severe weather conditions on its website redcross.org.uk including how to respond to cold weather-related accidents. Below are some simple tips that can be employed for a range of emergency situations, along with advice on how to cope when they do:Hypothermia signs and symptoms may include:
• Shivering; cold to touch, pale skin• Apathy and disorientation• Slow and shallow breathing
Treatment for hypothermia 1. The casualty should be warmed slowly. Cover the person with blankets - and a hat, if possible - and warm the room.2. They should be given a hot drink and some high-energy food such as chocolate.3. Call 999 for emergency help. Remember: in elderly people, hypothermia may also be disguising the symptoms of a stroke or heart attack.
Falls – how to treat sprains or strains
It is difficult to distinguish between different bone, joint and muscle injuries. If you suspect the injury may be a fracture, or dislocated joint, then seek medical help immediately.
Strains and sprains should be treated initially by the "RICE" procedure:R – Rest the injured part;I – Ice, in a pack or a cold pad should be applied on sprain;C – Comfortable support should be provided;E – Elevate the injured part.

Micralyne, Inc., a leading pure-play MEMS foundry serving high-performance biomedical, telecommunications and industrial markets, and A.M. Fitzgerald & Associates (AMFitzgerald), a MEMS product development firm, today announced a strategic partnership which will put customers on the fast-track path to commercialization. Combining AMFitzgerald's expert MEMS design and rapid prototyping services with Micralyne's extensive experience in manufacturing high-value MEMS devices, the partnership offers a one-stop solution for companies that want to move early-stage designs beyond proof-of-concept to volume production.
"Navigating the MEMS ecosystem can prove challenging to customers who want to take IP or even an early-stage design to the commercial phase. In many cases, they are strong conceptually with an in-depth understanding of the problems addressed by their specific application but may not have experience in MEMS design or manufacturing," said Nancy Fares, CEO of Micralyne. "Our strategic partnership with AMFitzgerald allows us collectively to 'divide and conquer.' Our customers do what they do best: conceptualize innovative applications for which MEMS is the perfect vehicle. We do what we do best: help them to bring to market the highest quality MEMS devices as quickly and as efficiently as possible."
"Our clients need to turn their ideas into silicon. We offer the design, modeling and rapid prototyping that moves them quickly from the idea stage to a foundry-ready MEMS design," explained Alissa M. Fitzgerald, PhD, founder and managing member of AMFitzgerald. "An important part of our work is the delivery of a proven MEMS prototype—both a mask design and a robust process flow—to the foundry for a fast ramp to high-yield volume production. Having Micralyne as a manufacturing partner offers our clients a complete solution, and adds significant value through coordinated design-for-manufacture development and seamless foundry transfer. It is an elegant synchronization of the MEMS supplier ecosystem, speeding time-to-market for MEMS devices of the highest quality."

Indictments in Craigslist diamond theft scheme
Updated 4:04 am, Friday, February 21, 2014
(02-20) 20:51 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- When a state prison inmate was confronted with evidence that he had helped set up robberies of Craigslist sellers offering diamonds for sale, he agreed to cooperate, the FBI said, if only to get a "better deal" for his son, who was also charged in the case.
On Thursday, his son, Kane Brazeal, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Oakland along with three others for their alleged roles in a scheme that victimized people across the country.
Brazeal's father, whose name was withheld because he's a federal informant, had been using a cell phone smuggled into his prison cell to look at "Craigslist sales ads all throughout the country," FBI Special Agent Paul Healy wrote in a federal court affidavit.

Brazeal, Keegan Cotton Jr., Jaedon Evans and Rafael Davis were indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit robbery affecting interstate commerce and attempted robbery affecting interstate commerce in connection with a holdup last summer that was thwarted by Oakland police.
On June 20, officers conducting an unrelated stakeout spotted Evans and Cotton trying to steal a diamond from a woman in a limousine parked near 37th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Way in West Oakland, authorities said.
The woman had been flown from Colorado to Oakland and offered a limo by a purported jewel buyer. In reality, the FBI said, she had been selected as a victim by a group of robbers headed by the prison inmate who set up "robberies by appointment" through Craigslist.
After the woman and the limo driver fled, Cotton and Evans ran away but were arrested, as was Davis, who was stopped in a car that had also fled the scene, authorities said.
The men were part of a ring that sought everything from Rolex watches to diamonds worth up to $175,000 from victims across the country, Healy wrote.
A fifth defendant, 40-year-old Michael Anthony Martin of Tracy, was charged in U.S. District Court in Sacramento with being a felon in possession of a firearm after agents raided his home last month and found a loaded .38-caliber handgun, authorities said.
Martin, a convicted robber, helped procure limos for the victims that would bring them to robbery locations, Healy wrote. The limos were often paid for with stolen credit cards or cash, and the driver would be either an accomplice or a professional chauffeur who knew nothing of the scam, authorities said.
"The purported buyer tells the seller that the limousine will be taking the seller to a bank, jewelry appraiser or other safe-sounding public place for the sale of the item," Healy wrote. "The purported buyer will have the limousine driver go to another location, however, where individuals are lying in wait to ambush the limousine."

Nestor's Trucking Corp. Case Settles for $3,750.00
This page last reviewed September 27th, 2013.
In September 2013, Nestor's Trucking Corp. agreed to pay $3,750.00 in penalties for violating air quality regulations: $2,812.50 will go to the California Air Pollution Control Fund, which provides funding for projects and research to improve California's air quality; $937.50 will go to Peralta Colleges Foundation to fund emission education classes conducted by participating California community colleges, under the California Council for Diesel Education and Technology (CCDET) program.
An investigation by the Air Resources Board (ARB) showed that Nestor's Trucking Corp. failed to properly self-inspect their diesel trucks to assure the trucks met state smoke emission standards as required by the Periodic Smoke Inspection Program (PSIP). To settle the case, Nestor's Trucking Corp. agreed to the $3,750.00 penalty and to comply with the Periodic Smoke Inspection program and other ARB programs.

Look! Installing Our Cork Flooring
Desperate to get our kitchen up and running so we can stop devouring take-out, we're inching closer and closer each day. The latest production: installing our cork floors over roughed-up wood floors that we decided not to sand and refinish...
Purchased at Lumber Liquidators, we're loving the surface, although it was tougher to put together than expected (no such thing as "simply snap in place"). Once installed, we felt like the entire kitchen was transformed...we were now walking where no one else had walked before. The slight softness of the cork is perfect, and the varying colors, shapes and shades will be a nice balance to the stark white and black that will soon be going on in the rest of the room.
Next up: a look at our refinished hardwood floors!
Re-visit Janel's fab red and black flooring installation from last year here.

Governor Patrick Announces $1 Million Business Plan Competition to Draw Startups to Massachusetts
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick today announced the creation of a $1 million annual business plan competition designed to attract more high-growth startups to the state. The competition, which will get underway next year, will be modeled on similar contests at MIT and other universities, but will be open to all teams of entrepreneurs willing to headquarter their companies in Massachusetts, Patrick said.
The so-called MassChallenge Venture Funds Competition, organized by a new Cambridge, MA, nonprofit called MassChallenge, will provide seed funding to some 30 startups each year. Each finalist will receive a combination of cash and equity investments worth roughly $1 million—far more than the $100,000 top prize handed out by the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition, the nation's most famous university business plan competition.
The governor made the announcement at the end of a speech to a group of several dozen infotech sector stakeholders known informally as the Massachusetts Information Technology Collaborative. The group was invited to Microsoft's New England Research and Development Center today to discuss how to expand the infotech sector in Massachusetts.
Patrick said the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is seeding the competition by contributing $100,000 to the prize pot, with the actual funds coming out of the budget of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative's John Adams Innovation Institute. Boston-area technology entrepreneur and philanthropist Gururaj "Desh" Deshpande, Microsoft, and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation have also signed on as founding sponsors of the competition.
Greg Bialecki, Massachusetts Secretary of Housing and Economic Development, told Xconomy after Governor Patrick's announcement that the new competition will contribute to the governor's larger effort to draw attention to Massachusetts as an epicenter of business creation. "We think the program itself, and the fact that people will be applying to create companies in Massachusetts, and the recognition that comes to the winners, will attract attention and will be a tangible sign that Massachusetts supports innovation and entrepreneurship," Bialecki said.
"The other thing we find potentially very powerful…is that it's an opportunity for people to work together on something that is bigger than any single industry," Bialecki said. In other remarks at the Information Technology Collaborative meeting, Bialecki said state agencies are working to promote not just the infotech sector but clean energy, life sciences, and advanced manufacturing.
The MassChallenge competition will welcome startup teams in all of these areas and more. The formal competition categories will include clean technology and energy, information technology, healthcare and life sciences, nonprofit, and software and gaming. To be eligible for the competition, companies must agree to base their companies in Massachusetts and must commit to creating at least five jobs in Massachusetts during their first year of operation. (Also, their employees must be U.S. citizens or have work permits.)
In remarks immediately prior to the MassChallenge announcement, Governor Patrick said the U.S. economy is undergoing a shift unlike any since the Industrial Revolution. If Massachusetts wants to be an incubator for the companies that will create tomorrow's new jobs—whatever industry they're in—then "we had better lay a foundation for collaboration and entrepreneurship," Patrick told meeting attendees. "Our job [in state government] is not to create the jobs but to create the conditions where [entrepreneurs] want to operate. Your job is to collaborate with us and with each other, both the veterans and the newcomers, the people with proven ideas and the people with just a glimmer in their imagination."
In that spirit, the new competition is being designed to foster a culture of mentorship and collaboration between early-stage entrepreneurs and more established executives, entrepreneurs, and venture investors in the state, according to John Harthorne, the co-founder and CEO of MassChallenge. "There are two kinds of goals here," says Harthorne. "We are focused on getting the ecosystem together for business creation and entrepreneurship. But let's also create a culture of mentorship. We expect 3,000 entries, and if we seed 30 companies, that means 2,970 won't get funded—but all of them will get access to team-building events, speaker events, and events designed to help them understand the Massachusetts business ecosystem better."
Bialecki said Harthorne's plan to line up advice and support for teams entering the MassChallenge competition—a feature adopted from competitions like the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition—appealed to him and to Governor Patrick when Harthorne's group first approached the state government about participating less than a month ago. "We like very much the fact that it's not just a competition with prizes but that it includes mentoring support, which we think is valuable not only for the participants in the competition but it will also more generally create a habit of networking and mentoring here," Bialecki said. "One of the things we are hearing is that the networking and mentoring that happens in California does not seem to be so naturally happening here, and there is a role to foster that."
MassChallenge hopes to raise a $25 million fund to support the competition on an ongoing basis. Harthorne, a recent MIT Sloan School MBA who founded the organization with former Bain consultant Akhil Nigam and former medical device entrepreneur David Constantine, says donors that sign up to match the state government's stake with a contribution of at least $100,000 before July 15 will be recognized as founding sponsors of the competition.

A 61-year-old man was rescued from a Crewe home that set ablaze in the early hours of Sunday.
Fire engines from Crewe and Holmes Chapel were called to reports of smoke issuing from the terraced house in Alton Street at 00.22am on May 4.
On arrival, two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the house and rescued the man, who was suffering from smoke inhalation.
One hose reel and one covering jet were used by crews to put out the small fire on the ground floor. They then used a specialist fan to clear smoke from the property.
The man was given first aid and oxygen therapy by the crews before being taken to hospital by paramedics due to smoke inhalation.
Firefighters left the scene shortly before 1 am.

Teacher Education Programme
Teacher Education Programme
Teaching is a complex and broadly put-together profession, which is why you as a teacher in the making need to gather knowledge from several different fields of competence before you are ready to go out and teach. Apart from needing to be an "expert" at teaching your specialist subject, you must also be able to create enthusiasm and the desire to learn in your subject fields.
The Teacher Education Programme is divided up into three different sections in order to give you, a prospective teacher, the skills you are going to need:
- Educational Sciences Core
The Educational Sciences Core will introduce the Programme and consist of 60 HECs. It is here that you will read general courses concerning the profession of teaching. The study block in Educational Sciences is divided up into 8 subcourses distributed throughout the period of your studies. Its focus is professionalism.
- Subject courses
The most extensive part of your studies will be concentrated on subject courses which include subject knowledge as well as subject didactics. At HDK you will be studying subject courses in Visual Art and Sloyd and material culture.
- VFU – Practical training
Practical training (VFU) is also included and located at a school. It comprises 30 HECs.
More information about subject courses in Visual Art and Sloyd and material culture can be found under the headings on the left.

The strait, named after the French explorer Jean-François de Galaup, Count de La Pérouse, separates the Sea of Okhotsk from the Sea of Japan. It is 27 miles (43 km) wide at its narrowest part, between Cape Krilon (Sakhalin) and Cape Sōya (Hokkaido) and varies in depth from 167 to 387 feet (51 to 118 m). The strait is characterized by extremely strong marine currents. It is closed by ice in the winter.

What does it mean to live in the security of God's abiding love and faithfulness? Alistair Begg shares some of the challenges and hindrances that stand in the way of the peace God promises to His children. When we humble ourselves under the jurisdiction of God, we can cast off all hopelessness and anxiety, secured by grace in His care for us.
The Fruit of the Spirit
"The fruit of the Spirit." It's a well-known phrase from a much-loved passage of Scripture. The challenge is in the details, as we pause to consider what the fruit of the Spirit is and to reflect on how well it is displayed in our lives.
In this series, Alistair Begg explains that the fruit of the Spirit is the character of God reflected in the lives of those who are united with Christ. It cannot be produced by an outward change of habit or a system of self-improvement, but is cultivated as God works to conform us to the image of His Son. As we consider the fruit of the Spirit in our lives, Scripture guides us to examine our hearts, challenges our progress, and encourages us to trust God's promise that He began this work and will complete it. The Fruit of the Spirit provides a study in practical godliness, reminding us that faithful Christian living demonstrates the attractiveness of the Gospel to the world around us.
