Another SNP MP resigns – McGarry suspended over cash probe
THE SNP was in crisis last night after an MP was suspended over a police?investigation into missing donations.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon declined to take action against the Glasgow East MP
Natalie McGarry yesterday said she would be withdrawing from the party whip while officers look into claims that around £30,000 has disappeared from a campaign group's coffers.
Ms McGarry, who helped to found Women For Independence (WFI) to fight for a Yes vote in the independence referendum, played a key role in managing its finances.
Her decision – which brings automatic suspension from the party – came after First Minister Nicola Sturgeon declined to take action against the Glasgow East MP.
The affair is the second major blow to the SNP after Edinburgh West MP Michelle Thomson resigned the party whip in September while police investigate alleged wrongdoing in property deals.
Ms McGarry's lawyer Aamer Anwar said his client had taken the decision "in the best interests of the party and the constituents of the East End".
He added: "She maintains she has done nothing wrong but is conscious that the events of the last 48 hours are distracting from the job she was elected to do on behalf of the SNP.
"She has a proud record as a principled activist and is determined to clear her name.
"Fortunately in our legal system we still believe in a presumption of innocence. What has been reported to Police Scotland are financial discrepancies, yet they have not even established whether criminality is involved."
Mr Anwar added he had recruited a team of forensic accountants to help Police Scotland reach a "swift conclusion".
She maintains she has done nothing wrong but is conscious that the events of the last 48 hours are distracting from the job she was elected to do on behalf of the SNP
Scottish Conservative deputy leader Jackson Carlaw said: "The SNP is all over the place with this.
"First of all Nicola Sturgeon dithers and takes no action, then hours later Natalie McGarry takes it upon herself to resign the whip."
Scottish Labour MSP Jackie Baillie said: "Natalie McGarry is right to resign the SNP whip. It is disappointing that as the leader of the SNP Nicola Sturgeon didn't act earlier.
"We now need to know who knew what, and when, in the SNP about these allegations."
It followed a dramatic 48 hours which began when WFI made a report to police on Sunday night relating to around £30,000 in missing donations.
Earlier yesterday Ms Sturgeon said: "It's important that we have a very strong message, and that is that the highest standards are expected in the SNP. But that has to be balanced with fairness and due process and the right to a presumption of innocence."
An SNP spokesman said: "Natalie McGarry has taken this step in order to allow the full and proper investigation of the issue. She now hopes that the investigation can proceed as quickly as possible, is clear that there has been no wrongdoing on her part, and will not be commenting further until the matter is resolved."

Taizé in Birmingham: Finding God in the discarded March 19, 2017
In less than six weeks Christians from all across Europe will gather in Birmingham for "Hidden Treasure". A weekend being organised by the Taizé community, Friday 28th April - Monday 1st May.
The title 'Hidden Treasure' is taken from the Gospel Parable (Matthew 13:44). The gathering will be a chance to explore and celebrate some of the hidden treasures of our faith, those found in scripture and prayer, and those found in the many concrete acts of solidarity being taken by Christians on behalf of those around them, often the most disadvantaged.
One such Hidden Treasure is a community project in the Winson Green area of Birmingham. Sam Ewell, a community pastor, organiser and theologian, has been reflecting and exploring the theme of how Christians are called to live in the midst of the discarded. He comments: "We live in a culture which discards all sort of things very easily. Our society is continually throwing things away. We throw away food, food waste, packaging, single-use items. But worse of all we throw away people, HMP Birmingham in Winson Green is a very visible symbol of this wider culture of discarding people."
"But", asks Sam, "what if we turned things round the other way? God doesn't create things that are useless, God doesn't throw anything or anyone away. So what if we start with the things, and the people, who have been thrown away? And begin to manifest God's kingdom from there."
Sam is involved in prison ministry inside HMP Birmingham, and with work to reintegrate former prisoners after their release. Alongside this work he has been developing a community gardening project with the intention of both producing food and of beautifying the local area. The project uses discarded food waste and organic materials to create compost, and other materials are also used, recently Sam collected the fallen branches of Storm Doris to create and made woodchip for pathways.
During the Hidden Treasure Weekend Sam and other will be leading a workshop exploring this theme, they are looking forward to sharing their story, and to hearing about what others are doing.

What do we know about Christopher Nolan's Interstellar? Not much, except it (A) was originally a Steven Spielberg joint, (B) stars Matthew McConaughey, who these days can do no wrong, and Jessica Chastain (hooray!) and Anne Hathaway (boo!), (C) it has to do with... space? It definitely has something to do with space. Oh, and is legally required for every Christopher Nolan film since Batman Begins, Michael Caine will be in it. Possibly as an... alien? Probably as an alien.
Here's the impressive first teaser, which functions more of a tone-setter as anything else—so long as that tone is making every American feel sad and embarrassed that our once-proud nation can no longer properly finance a working space program. U-S-A! U-S-A!

Bath & North East Somerset Council has received and granted an application by the controversial taxi operator Uber to act as a licensed taxi operator across the Bath area.
The application was considered in line with the Council's policies and procedures and as all the necessary criteria have been met, the application was granted.
Cllr Martin Veal (Conservative, Bathavon North), Cabinet Member for Community Services, said: "We have recently issued a private hire operator's license to Uber Britannia Ltd which uses a smart phone application to connect passengers and drivers.
"The company has operated in other cities such as London, Manchester and Bristol for some time now and offers a new type of service to passengers.
"Public safety is of paramount importance to us and we are reassured by the company's intention to use only Bath & North East Somerset Council vetted and licensed drivers and vehicles.
"This is a relatively new type of service and we will continue to monitor it very closely to see how it works."

Vein-type base-metal ores in Linares-La Carolina (Spain) ore-lead isotopic constrains
Lillo, Javier
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 4 Number 2 (1992), p. 337 - 344
27 references
published: Apr 21, 1992
manuscript accepted: Jun 12, 1991
manuscript received: Jul 20, 1990
DOI: 10.1127/ejm/4/2/0337

Abstract Linares-La Carolina mining district comprises a group of mineralisations of variable ages and styles: Ordovician-Silurian stratiform deposits and Late Hercynian vein and stratabound types. Preliminary Pb-isotope data from the vein-type mineralisations indicate that lead from upper crustal rocks (likely Palaeozoic metasediments) was remobilised and redeposited in vein-type deposits during the Permian-Triassic mineralisation event. Incorporation of varying amounts of Late Hercynian granitoid-derived lead can not be ruled out. μ2 and K isotopic ratios above the average in orogenic settings reflect U-Th "enriched" rocks relative to non-radiogenic lead probably as consequence of a crustal evolution with several stages of Pb-depletion. Even if some 238U depletion could occur, the 238U abundance relative to 204Pb was high enough to keep μ2 > 10.5 after the depletion.
lead isotopes • base-metal ores • Late Hercynian veins • Hesperian Massif • Spain.

USA TODAY Sports

Wake Forest is 7-3-1 against the spread in their last 11 road, 0-3-1 against the spread following a game that they covered the point spread, and 7-3-1 against the spread against a team with a winning home record. The home team has covered the point spread in the last four meetings of these two.
This is just way too many points and despite Wake's miserable ACC record and bad record against the number against NC State, they are the play here.

Trade of the month: Risk assessment
Following last month's investigation of the views of regulators on the risk and complexity of structured products, this issue's analysis covers risk assessment.
Before considering how we might measure the risk when investing in structured products, it is worth considering how risk is measured for funds and exchange-traded funds. The most common way to measure the risk level of these investments is to calculate the fund price or net asset value (NAV) and historic volatility over a certain time ho

Using Six Monitors With AMD's Open-Source Linux Driver
Linux graphics drivers have come a long way in recent years for both the open and closed-source solutions from AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel. In this Sunday article, a Phoronix reader has shared his experiences in going from failing to setup two monitors under Linux just a few years ago with NVIDIA to now successfully driving six monitors on a single system using the AMD Linux driver.
Niklas Andersson, a Swedish Phoronix reader, wrote in to share his AMD Linux six-monitor success story:
Last december I bought a AMD Radeon HD 7970-card with six outputs (4 hdmi, 2 dvi), six 23" monitors and a cool monitor rack from SMS Solutions. I have a two rows, three columns setup.

At the press conference for his upcoming movie 'Because I Love You', MC Kim Shin Young asked Kim Yoo Jung, who stars in the movie with Cha Tae Hyun and who has also worked with Park Bo Gum in drama 'Moonlight Drawn by Clouds', "What are some charms in Cha Tae Hyun that you can't find in Park Bo Gum?"
SEE ALSO: Cha Tae Hyun to participate as a special MC for 'Radio Star'
Cha Tae Hyun interrupted Kim Yoo Jung from answering, and jokingly said, "There's nothing good about [answering this question and] making headlines with this." He then answered on Kim Yoo Jung's behalf, "I have 3 kids and age."
On a more serious note, Kim Yoo Jung said Cha Tae Hyun is a dependable person whom you can lean on. To this, Cha Tae Hyun again responded with humor, saying, "Yeah, Bo Gum doesn't have that yet. He doesn't have dependency but he has youthfulness."

Here it is, the first footage of Two-Face from The Dark Knight! I cannot embed this, but you can follow the link below. Not only is this quite awesome, but it also proved my theory. See, when the 3rd trailer released, there was two versions, the normal, and the "Dork Knight" version that had Joker scribbles all over it. Within that version the .5 second clip of Harvey Dent presumably as Two Face has "My Hero" written on it, but no one believed me that it was Two Face. But, take a look at this link.. what the address? I think this is score 1 for me

Surah Nuh is mainly about the Prophet Nuh and his mission. He is mentioned from the very first Ayat, إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ "Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment." [71:1].
There are 28 Ayat in this Surah.
In this Surah the story of the Prophet Noah has not been related only for the sake of storytelling, but its object is to warn the disbelievers of Makkah, so as to say: "You, O people of Makkah, are adopting towards Muhammad the same attitude as the people of the Prophet Noah had adopted towards him; if you do not change this attitude, you too would meet with the same end." This had not been said in so many words anywhere in the Surah, but in the background of the conditions under which this story was narrated to the people of Makkah, this subject itself became obvious. Verse 2-4 briefly explain how he began his mission and what he preached. Then after suffering hardships and troubles in the way of preaching his mission for ages the report that he made to his Lord has been given in v. 5-20. In it he states how he had been trying to bring his people to the right path and how his people had stubbornly opposed him. After this, the Prophet Noah's final submission has been recorded in v. 21-24, in which he prays to his Lord, saying: "These people have rejected my invitation: they are blindly following their chiefs, who have devised a tremendous plot of deceit and cunning. Time now has come when these people should be deprived of every grace to accept guidance." This was not an expression of impatience by the Prophet Noah, but when after having preached his message under extremely trying circumstances for centuries he became utterly disappointed with his people, he formed the opinion that no chance whatever was left of their coming to the right path. His opinion fully conformed to God's own decision. Thus, in the next verse (25), it has been said: "The torment of God descended on those people because of their misdeeds."
In the concluding verse, the Prophet Noah's supplication that he made to his Lord, right at the time the torment descended, has been recorded. He prays for his own and for all the believers' forgiveness and makes a submission to God to the effect: "Do not leave any of the disbelievers alive on the earth, for they have become utterly devoid of every good: they will not beget any but disbelieving and wicked descendent." While studying this Surah one should keep in view the details of the Prophet Noah's story which have been given in the Qur'an. For this see the following Surah 7: al-A'raf (The Elevations) 59-64, Surah 10: Yunus (Jonah) 71,73, Surah 11: Hud (Hud) 25-49, Surah 23: al-Mu'minun (The Believers) 23-31, 26: ash-Shu'ara' (The Poets) 105-122, Surah 29: al-'Ankabut (The Spider) 14,15, Surah 37: as-Saffat (Those Lined Up) 75-82, Surah 54: al-Qamar (The Moon) 9-16.
This also is one of the earliest Surahs to be revealed at Makkah, but the internal evidence of its subject matter shows that it was sent down in the period when opposition to the Prophet's message of Islam by the disbelievers of Makkah had grown very strong and active.

Picture: Noel Gallagher, Liam Gallagher, Andy Bell and Gem Archer Studio photo shoot with Oasis. Tokyo, Japan - 20.11.05
British rockers Oasis have warned fans about a rogue website advertising fake tickets to their concerts.
A statement on the band's website reveals police are investigating the unnamed site, which is registered with an anonymous domain registry in Madeira and is hosted in Hungary.
Oasis are currently performing the European leg of their 2008 tour, after guitarist Noel Gallagher recovered from injuries he suffered when a crazed fan stormed the stage at a gig in Canada last month (Sep08).
There were a number of defining bands of the 90's but Oasis were indisputably one...

December 6, 2015 - First notes after opening at dinner and following up two hours later. Cloudy, hazy brick-ruby color and moderate sediment. Profound aroma that is almost indescribable: cranberry, damp scrubland, yoghurt, shoe polish, hairspray, bubblegum, and charred wet wood are all things that come to mind. High acidity. Tannins you could dock a ship to, and an abrupt, dry finish. There's a bit of secondary ferm going on but I think that's kind of normal for these wines. Absolutely one of the most bizarre and interesting wines I've ever tried. Can't say I enjoyed it and I can't say it's a poorly made wine, either. Will update on day two.
Second day: the big "pop" pulling the cork indicated that the CO2 was still working, though it fully dissipated after an hour or so and the transformation was rather spectacular. All of that funk and dirt and buttermilk from the night before coalesced into something more resembling a 35 year old Fleurie or NSG. Really. What a rollercoaster ride this one is. Some mature, oxidized nuttiness also shows when it fully airs out and opens up. Last night, I really didn't think I would want to finish this bottle. Today, I wish I had a couple more bottles to let lay for a few to twenty years. I'll rate based on how it was when allowed to fully breathe. 2+12+16+8 = 88. Yep, 88. A very standard score, but there is nothing standard about this wine.3 people found this helpful Comment

- Use efficient lighting: Install high-efficiency lighting systems for your kitchen. These can include LED lighting systems or other lighting designed to use less energy. Replace standard incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs.
- Use sustainable materials: Install sustainable kitchen cabinets built from wood or wood products from manufacturers that use certified sustainable forest management practices. The Forest Stewardship Council, for example, provides such certifications. Use green countertop material, such as recycled countertops, cement, recycled paper, recycled glass, and other reclaimed and sustainable material. Put in kitchen flooring of cork or other coverings made of sustainable materials.
- Apply active recycling: Take steps to make recycling an active and integral part of your kitchen activities. For example, install lower cabinets with pull-out recyling bins that are easy to access and use. Teach children how to recycle and what materials should be recycled and what should be thrown away.
Green Kitchen Renovations to Take Advantage of in Your Home
Your kitchen is one of the most energy-intensive areas of your home. Cooking stoves, ovens, appliances, kitchen gadgets, refrigerators, dishwashers–all of these devices consume significant amounts of energy and increase your monthly expenses. Green kitchen renovations can help reduce these expenditures while creating a kitchen environment that is pleasant, effective, and productive.

Or at least that is what my old man would call this exercise in digital futility. That's right folks, the Fritter is 4 years old today. What started as a few musings about living in the Keys has blossomed into a brand in it's now right, however small it may be. Apps, sunsets, Fritterisms, musings about island life, boat issues, and of course, at the core of it all…minimalism. Four years I've been at this and for four years, most of you have come along for the journey.
Through all of the issues and bullshit I've been through since moving to the Keys, the Fritter remains home port. It's a place I can come to and rant, rave, laugh, share, and grieve. No matter what happens, the Fritter stays afloat, well, as long as I pay the hosting every year. Sometimes the posts are hard to come up with. No fresh ideas, or I'm not in the mood to write. Other times I can't get the words down quick enough. It was kind of hard at first. Not having done well in school with them there writin' classes, I was surprised how much easier it got to posting as time went on. I would still fail any grammar test but I write what I feel, not what is correct.
Judging from the traffic reports, I seem to have attracted a decent size audience here. Even if you sift through the russian porn spammers and chinese hackers, the Fritter still has a sizable audience. And you provide feedback. The recent comments about the loss of KC made my grief a bit more palatable. And for that I thank you.
Support has come in other ways. Notes telling me of the inspiration someone received. The occasional tip in the jar. To be honest, I felt a bit uneasy putting that button over there on the left, just below the Twitter feed, and just above the search bar, because it seemed a bit pretentious to ask for money. But on the other hand, I see the entertainers at sunset juggling, singing off key songs, or putting on an act, and making a living, why not here too.
And for those lucky few who have had the chance to come here to the end of the world and meet me in person, I'm sorry. I'm not bigger than life. Just an old guy who lives on a sailboat in Key West. But it was nice to meet you.
The past year was by far the most difficult I've encountered since I started this thing. The mess with the marina, the constant financial issues, the loss of my friend last week. As the Fritter began it's 5th year, things ain't looking so hot at the moment. Spring, as always, is a very expensive and difficult time. But, I've been through worse, although I can't exactly remember precisely when, and I got through it. I firmly believe I'll get through it again, and come out on the other side more better than before.
In the meantime, I've got some minor changes coming to the site. I need to promote the app business more better so I am reviving Fritter Apps as a stand alone website. There will be the app sales, development in case anyone needs an app, ebook sales, and code templates for sale. It will allow me to simplify the Fritter a bit and maybe make a few more dollars using all the code knowledge I've spent so damn much time learning. Fritter Apps is up and running but not quite a fully functional death star yet. I'll be tweaking it here and there over time. Stop by and take a look now and then.
And as for the Fritter, I will continue as before. I'm slowly getting out of my funk from last week, and while I will be making some important decisions here soon, I will keep on writing about stuff.
So thanks again one and all for keeping the Fritter afloat these 4 long years. Without you this would indeed be a waste of time. Tell your friends to join the crew. Stay aboard and see what is over the next horizon. Keep life minimal and enjoyable.
Use the knowledge and inspiration you gain here only for good….unless evil pays better. Then totally go evil.
Capt. Fritter

In recent years, my family has truly discovered the importance of oral health and the effect that it has on the health of the rest of our bodies. We've also discovered how detrimental mainstream oral care products are for our teeth. That's why we've switched to more natural oral care products like remineralizing toothpaste and activities like oil pulling. Since we've made this switch, we've seen enormous improvement in the health of our teeth, even to the point of improving almost-cavities! This post explores a oral health routine for remineralizing cavities.
"My post about how to remineralize teeth naturally has gotten hundreds of comments and questions over the years. Most commonly, questions are about the specific oral health routine I used to help my teeth remineralize or specific products I used.
Check out the original post for the specifics on how cavities can remineralize and why I chose the products I did, and this post answers the specifics of what I used. If you are new to the idea of remineralization, this interview with a dentist about the body's ability to remineralize teeth may be helpful too.
Personally, I had two small cavities that my holistic dentist was willing to wait on filling, and after using this protocol they had remineralized and no longer needed to be filled. Of course, I am not a dentist and you should check with yours about your own personal oral health, but I'm sharing my experience and routine for informational purposes only.
My Daily Oral Health Routine
This is the oral health routine that I personally follow daily (or most days) that helped remineralize me teeth and that I now use to help avoid any new cavities.
Morning: As soon as I wake up, I do Oil Pulling with Coconut oil. Spit, Rinse Well and Swish with clean water.
After that, I brush with homemade toothpaste or homemade tooth powder with 3 drops of OraWellness Brushing Blend and a Bass Toothbrush.
Then I drink a couple glasses of lemon water to start my day and usually take some Marine Phytoplankton (for energy and cellular health).
Breakfast: Take 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Fermented Cod Liver Oil/Butter Blend. Eat breakfast high in healthy fats and proteins.
Lunch and Dinner: I include Homemade Bone Broth, at least two sources of healthy fats, protein and vegetables. (See my recipes for Ideas) or Bone Broth Tutorial for instructions on bone broth.
Evening: I brush again with homemade toothpaste or homemade tooth powder with 3 drops OraWellness Brushing Blend and a Bass Toothbrush. If I'm trying to whiten my teeth, I also brush with Activated Charcoal powder, which works wonders!
Bedtime: I don't eat after 7 pm and try to be in bed between 10-10:30 to allow maximum restorative sleep and optimal hormone production. I sleep on an earthing mat to help reduce inflammation and spray myself with magnesium spray before bed to improve sleep and make sure I'm getting enough of this important mineral. Have trouble sleeping? Check out these four helpful hacks for falling asleep."

Veggie Variety Workshop for HAF Farmers
Hawaii Agricultural Foundation's Ag Park at Kunia tenants were treated to a 2 hour workshop on vegetable varieties and pest management at partner Monsanto's main offices in Lower Kunia on October 21. 16 HAF farmers attended the classroom and field demo presentations. HAF farmers are currently growing many vegetables that they are familiar with and eat often, but it is important to them to be able to meet the expectations in their customer base, who may be looking to buy other types of vegetables.
The workshop allowed the farmers to get hands on experience with some of the varieties they may choose to grow, and the field component gave them the chance to not only see for themselves how well certain types of vegetables perform in this area, but also gave the growers face to face time with vegetable, pest, and soil specialists who gave them advice and answered questions. Discussions centered on how to amend the soil, which crops were most challenging to grow, what pests were seen on the crops, and ways to mitigate the pest pressure without spraying. Farmers received seeds for different varieties of green onion, head cabbage, and cucumber.
The workshop and field demo was a wonderful opportunity for our Ag Park growers to learn about different vegetable varieties, how to improve their soil, and ways they can employ low-tech pest-management methods. These techniques will help them improve their marketable produce options and manage pests more efficiently, which are critical needs in the small producer community.
The Ag Park, a collaborative effort between Monsanto Hawaii, Island Palm Communities and the Hawaii Agricultural Foundation, is designed to benefit small local farms.

The Year We Thought About Love Trailer (2015)
24 February 2015
With passion, wit, intelligence and attitude, an LGBTQ youth theater group creates a play about love in all its forms, while bonding together to make change in their own lives. With candor, they tell their stories through intimate interviews, entertaining and powerful clips of their self-written plays, and glimpse into their everyday lives. Members range from a transgender woman being kicked out of her home, to a runway model who likes men's clothing, to an out gay man accepted unconditionally by his mother. The plays they write and perform are close to their experiences and not only provide catharsis but insight into what it means to be gay, lesbian, transgender, or just queer. It's an inspirational work of art about the hardships one faces in realizing that they are different and the courage it takes to find the pride within that. – Nina Zheng

Farmers start land clearing fighting fund
A group of Great Southern farmers has launched a fighting fund to help a Kukerin farmer appeal against his conviction for illegally clearing land.
Matthew King was fined almost $24,000 for illegally clearing just over five hectares of native vegetation after a fire swept through his property in 2004.
Since then, about 80 farmers have pledged to support Mr King and any other farmers prosecuted for similar reasons.
The Western Australian Farmers Federation's Alan Hill says many landholders are worried they will be prosecuted without realising they have broken the law.
"What we got was strong support from farmers that the issue needs to be really prioritised and made into a significant priority for us and that the current laws and the application of them really ... they felt were unworkable and something needs to be done," he said.

In the creation of 11 state symbol medallions, artist Daniel Ney studied his subjects closely and determined how to make them as true to life as possible, as if they were sitting there waiting to be grabbed.
While researching one of his favorites, the ornate box turtle, Ney had hands-on experience with the Manhattan Zoo's box turtles. He learned how their bodies articulate and traverse the land. He wanted to depict them in their environment, while also including a few sizes through their growth.
"I love what I do, and I'm passionate about it," Ney said.
The medallions were developed for Downtown Topeka Inc.'s project to beautify S. Kansas Avenue. Each of the round medallions consists of the state outlined with one of the symbols depicted. They are two feet wide and 50 pounds apiece. Ney molded them in a 1,900-square-foot studio with a 20-foot roll-up door that was once a motor shop he shared with his brother in Manhattan, Kan.
The symbols include familiar favorites like the sunflower and western meadowlark, along with more obscure entries like the marine fossil Tylosaurus and Harney loam silt soil.
Ney, who recently moved to Kansas City, Mo., is a 2014 Kansas State University graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in sculpture. He submitted a proposal last August to create the medallions and was awarded the project in September.
"The planets aligned, and I'm happy and grateful. This is the first project in my career after college," he said.
Ney began drawing in the eighth grade and took every art class he could in high school. When he started at K-State he wanted to be an architect, but he changed his major to sculpting before his second deployment to Iraq began in 2011. He spent eight years in the Army Reserves.
He especially enjoys working with bronze, aluminum and cast iron, and he also does fabrication. Ney is currently working on a project for JE Dunn Construction Company in Kansas City.
Research inspirations
Ney said doing research for the medallions was half the fun. Holding an object, touching it, rolling it between his fingers and smelling it were some of his inspirations.
While researching the ornate box turtle, Ney also observed turtles at K-State and learned why their shell is a different color on top, with its yellow streaks. He said this happens to the shell because of things the turtle scrapes against. There are four box turtles that may appear to be swimming after rain collects in the medallion.
Ney is a member of a family of four, "so there might be a hint of that in this one too," he said.
Another medallion features the state amphibian — the barred tiger salamander. Ney, who was born in Hutchinson, said he would catch salamanders on his grandparents' farm in western Kansas, outside Belpre, as a child. He said he can remember the texture from grabbing them from under Ed and Marjory Scheufler's house.
"I included the stripes of the salamanders into the background, as well as them in action," Ney said. "When I played with them as a child, they were always burrowing down under things, running away from little grubby kids' hands. Sometimes you'd only see a tail or an arm, and you'd have to catch them."
He has a connection to each medallion he has created, and each has a different meaning to him.
Ney's parents, Jerry and Lisa, both grew up on farms in western Kansas. A farmer with a plow pulling team working the fields is shown on the state soil medallion. There is actual soil burnt and permanently locked into the Harney loam silt medallion.
"The rough area cascading down the left border is actual silt from Kansas, the same kind as Harney loam," he said.
Another medallion features the western honey bee, the state insect. Ney said it was more technically difficult to create because each honey bee was sculpted separately and welded from the bottom.
The honey bees are depicted from pupae and larvae to fully emerging in their different stages of growth.
"I had a lot of fun learning and making these," Ney said. "Studying the anatomy, I learned so much about bees that I had never imagined."
Flora and Fauna
Ney said that medallions for the sunflower and the Tylosaurus, the state marine fossil, were the "most fun." The sunflower is captured growing wild with some clouds and articulate pedals.
The Tylosaurus fossil shown is the largest one in the state and at the University of Kansas' Biodiversity Institute & Natural History Museum.
"Because this one is a little-known state symbol, my dad felt it was necessary to include a phonetic spelling," Ney said. "Also, some sort of representation of how big it actually is, thus the little man swimming."
The state tree medallion was inspired by plains cottonwood trees that grow outside of his art studio in Manhattan. The leaves would blow in to the work area, and he took them and waxed them into the bronze.
"Outside my studio, the Cottonwood Trees rained down leaves this past fall. I was easily able to collect the leaves and study them, even incorporating a few into the design," Ney said. "For me, the materials and where they came from is of utmost importance. Kansas trees for a Kansas sculpture, what's more perfect than that?"
Ney said he would see the meadowlarks sitting on the fences on and around both his parents' farms. "I wanted to highlight their majesty and give this symbol due credit," he said.
Ney went to the Flint Hills Discovery Center in Manhattan to learn about the little bluestem grass.
"After living in Manhattan on and off for years making the drive down 177, I've enjoyed the rolling hills and the sway of this grass," he said.
His depiction of the state motto links with the state's connection to spaceflight.
"I thought it was important to draw the connection between reaching for the stars and Kansas' astronaut heritage," Ney said. "Three Kansan KU graduates had varying roles in various Apollo missions and for every mission was a corresponding 'Mission Patch' At least one of them has an image of Apollo gazing in the distance. I felt connecting this piece and having him gaze towards the capital was fitting and honorable. Additionally, there are 34 stars in the background — giving note that Kansas was the 34th state to join the union."
The flying fossil Pteranodon medallion includes two depictions of the species — one intact, and the other with the bones exposed to feel with your fingertips.
"With a 20-some foot wingspan these creatures had the body of a small dog. As this being the state flying fossil, I felt it needed to also be represented in fossil form. Also the pronunciation would be difficult for young learners, so I included it phonetically also," Ney said.
Each medallion will get more beautiful with time, and the patina will start to show. The colors of the bronze will change, as people touch them and their natural skin oils wear a bit of the sealant off the medallion, Ney said.
'Humbling experience'
When he was laying the medallions along the sidewalks of S. Kansas Avenue, Ney said "people would come up and ask who did them and what they were and if they were real — like the turtles."
It was a "humbling experience," he said.
It is "just such an honor to be chosen from my state, and I believe in my state and where I'm from. Dawned on me a few months ago that these would be here forever," Ney said.
Architect One, Downtown Topeka Inc., the Topeka Community Foundation and the Kansas Department of Commerce all worked together to make sure the project was complete.
"We had issued proposal requests and received several concepts and interpretations to represent each medallion with a circular shape and with the state outline and state symbol," said Scott Gales, president of Architect One and architect for the project.
"All of the artists' submissions were great, but Dan's stood out," Gales said. "His art was representing everything we wanted. He is extremely creative."
After Ney submitted his proposals for approval, Architect One didn't request a change on any of them. In February, the medallions were approved, Gales said.
"I'm proud to attach my name to something bigger than myself," Ney said.

Image: 930 - 2015 02 13 Ercol Three Piece Suite 003
This lovely "Ercol 'Jubilee' design" three piece shows its wooden frame off to great effect now that it has been re-upholstered in two complementary self-coloured "Villa Nova" fabrics. The pale, neutral colour of the chairs and the vibrant deep red of the sofa work particularly well together and with the clients' decor. The best quality fabrics were chosen from the same range, so have matching texture and feel even though the colours are different.We also replaced all existing seat, backand arm cushion interiors with best quality flame retardant "Reflex"interiors, of varying densities, which carry a ten-year guarantee. They werealso wrapped in a secondary casing, comprising Dacron and stockinette, toprolong cushion life. All cushions were saddle-stitched as is usual with"Ercol" furniture.To make sure that the durability of the suite matched the comfort and appearance, the frames of all three pieces were completely re-sprung with "Pirelli" first grade rubber webbing in line with "Ercol's" original exacting standards.Unfortunately, the suite had been re-upholstered some time ago, but not to the original standards, so the templates were lost. Fortunately, as we regularly re-upholster "Ercol" suites, we were able to start again from scratch and restore the furniture to "as new" condition, as we had promised.Our clients were delighted with the result, saying that their suite was "super comfy" and said they would happily recommend us!

Hello everybody :)
I'm girl 19 student in AOU in Kuwait study English Litereture. I'm Egyption but living in kuwait all my life.
My problem is I'm crying alot and feel sad alot without any reason. Although I get supporting from my family, my friends and my teachers in unversity.
My story with canser is :-
In the last yeaar when I was in the university suddenly I feel pain in my stomec musles and I ignore it. at the summer vication I told my uncle what happen to me and told doctors in his hospital in Eygpt and I do alot of x-ray.
At the end I do operation and remove my right kidney. I get a conser in it.
After on month I start take chemo theropy and I lose all my hair and my look. Since that I cry alot and when my session be near I start to cry and don't want to go :(
Although I'm finish red one I don't know what is the name of that medical and start another chemo session.
Please anyone have any suggest and help please please post it
great thank for all :)
Jan 16, 2013 - 7:13 pm
Crying is not a bad thing. You are dealing with a difficult disease, and crying is one way to help you cope. Have you talked to the doctor or the chemo nurse about it? They might be able to give you something to help deal with your depression. Counseling might help, too. Cancer is scary stuff especially when you are so young. You are grieving for the life you planned, the one without cancer. That's perfectly normal, whatever normal is. Hang in there. Take care of yourself. Find someone you can talk to about your feelings. Know that many of us here are reading your post, and we care. Hugs, Fay
Jan 17, 2013 - 9:38 am
Thank you alot for your advice
but I talk to my Dr. about that and send Practitioners psychotherapist to help me and give me his number to talk to him because my fiamly don't want me to go and meet him
So I talk withhim on phone without my family know he is old not young, but he traveled to his country :(
Some times I talk to my frinds and my English teacher about that, my English teacher give me a hope and told me your strong woman :)
I'm happy because he support me. Before all that happen I like to talk to him he is a good man :) and always say to me "Smile Merna when you smile all the world smile with you"
But my sad and my fear still in my heart and my mind :((((
Jan 17, 2013 - 6:32 pm
Of course you are sad and afraid. You would really need a psychologist if you weren't. Tell the doctor that your parents object to you talking to a psychologist. Ask him if there is a mild anti-depressant you could take to help you get through this. Come here and write to us when you need someone to talk with. By the way, I am old, too, but that doesn't mean I can't listen. I'm glad you have friends to support you and a teacher. Hang in there. Fay
Jan 18, 2013 - 3:36 am
Great thank for you GrandmaFay :) <3
No your not old you still young :)
If you keep dreaming and have this great hope you still young if you stop dreaming in this time you'll be old :)
I'm really happy to comment and help me God know how much I'm happy :)
God bless you and protect you and all your family :)

There is a website I have seen that is only for teens going through cancer. The website is one from the United Kingdom http://www.teenagecancertrust.org . There you will get to connect with other teens going through the same thing you are. I think maybe it would help you feel that you are not so alone. I am 63 years old, so it has been a very long time since I was a teenager. My husband has stomach and liver cancer. Our children are 33 and 30 years old. Although we all have the same need to be loved and understood, as a teen you have other special needs that someone much older does not. Where you get treatment probably has a special oncology social worker you can talk to. And, as Grandmafay has said, you can always come talk to us. In my heart I am always ageless. Hope this helps.

For the past two weeks I've been posting reviews of Sunday School curriculum - check this link to find my reviews and Side-by-Side Comparison Charts. While I included a review of Special Buddies from LifeWay - there are very few curriculum resources available specifically for children with special needs. I'm very happy to say Special Buddies is well written and an excellent tool well worth taking a look at, but if your church does not have a specific class for children with special needs, allow me to give you a few ideas on how you might use the materials you have chosen for your children's ministry and "tweek" them to be a great "fit" for the special needs children in your ministry.

Beintehaa 7th May written episode: Bobby starts making a drama seeing Zain and Aaliya. She tells the police to arrest Mir Khan. Mir Khan talks about his relation with Aaliya. Aaliya replies that her father has broken the relationship after he kidnapped Barkat. Bobby lies that she was going to Darga to pray for Usman. In the midway she thought of warning Mir Khan and came to his house.
When they are about to leave the house Aaliya sees the papers of Usman's will. She asks for explanation. Bobby again lies that she was taking the papers to the Darga, to show God how much Usman loves her. Aaliya and Zain believe her words.
Zain and Aaliya keep thinking about each other's feeling and reactions in the cold storage. They meet in Usman's room. Zain asks Aaliya whether she truly feels envious when he talks about other women, as she told him the cold storage. Aaliya lies that she wanted to shock him as he was falling asleep. Zain becomes upset and leaves the room.
Aaliya regrets lying to Zain. Usman gets up and asks her why she did so. Aaliya explains that Zain is completely unpredictable. If she expresses her feeling and he suddenly insults her, she will not be able to bear it.
Usman assures Aaliya that Zain do not change his honest decisions. And one cannot be calculative in love. So, Aaliya should stop predicting things and confess her love to Zain, encourages Usman!
Aaliya Loves Zain
It is pretty obvious that the duo love each other. But will Aaliya bring herself to express her love?
Aaliya Makes Fun
Aaliya makes fun about what she said in the cold storage worried he might laugh at her.
Though they have grown fond of each other, and they are pretty obviously in love with each other, they have not yet expressed their love.
Zain Death-Scare
Zain would have lost consciousness and they would be discovered before any severe problem occurred.

Yorktown under the cover of darkness
Yorktown Travel Blog› entry 28 of 111 › view all entries
While the family relaxed at Kingsgate, I went out to take yet more photos in the afternoon. I traveled up Richmond Road to Toano to get a few more photos (including the Historic Triangle sign and Hickory Neck Church). Rain came up by later afternoon about the time I returned, putting to rest any idea that dd, bf, and I would go mini-golfing at Pirate's Cove. It was nearly dark by the time were ready to venture forth for dinner. But first, the destination by unanimous choice was Yorktown. Our daughter wanted to see Cornwallis' Cave again by night. (We'd seen it on a Yorktown Ghost Tour a few years ago, and it is a spooky place.
At Yorktown, we stopped to see the illuminated Yorktown Victory Monument. The Victory Monument commemorates the defeat of Lord Cornwallis and his British troops at Yorktown in 1781 by George Washington, the Continental Army, and the French Navy. The British surrender at Yorktown on 19 October 1781 essentially marked the end of the American Revolution.
Drat! I didn't have my tripod for a proper night shot of the illuminated monument! I did my best and have posted the result.
Continuing into Yorktown, most everything was closed.
After our visit to the cave, we walked back to the car via the beach, drove by the historical structures in Yorktown (the historic area in Yorktown is very small--much smaller than Williamsburg) and headed back to the Colonial Parkway. Every time we leave Yorktown at night, it seems to rain. I rained this night, too. The Colonial Parkway at night in the rain is very dark indeed, with overhanging trees and no lane makings. You must use high beams and be aware of oncoming traffic.
Back in Williamsburg, we went to Pierce's again. But it was now 9:00 p.m. and Pierce's had closed. (Williamsburg closes early on a Saturday night.) Truth to tell, we ended up back at Chick-fil-A, But, we don't have those in Fairfax County and the Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad is very good.

You have a good start here :). A few things: whenever a different character speaks, start a new paragraph. It makes for a story that flows with considerably more ease and it makes it easier to distinguish between the characters. As well, it feels like it's moving a little fast--don't be afraid to flesh it out a little bit more, and try to show, not tell. Don't tell us that there's a Subway and a Crate and Barrel, show us the sights or the sounds or the smells. All in all, though, you've done a good job, and this has lots of potential. Keep writing :)

This made me laugh:-) great start:-) i loved the scene where they get into the mall and it stops raining...so typical:-) if i were you i would reread and edit out some of the I's and also make the story clearer from the banana kid onwards for it makes no sense whatsoever, unless its supposed to be like that. You also could use more descriptions and clarity. example:Crossing the street, my friend Mia sprinted to the entrance to the Blue Creek Mall, not wanting to getsoaked to the bone from the fat drops of rain pelting our bodies. --> We crossed the crowded, glistening street, trying not to get our shoes wet. Once we were safely on the other side, my friend Mia flew to the Blue Creek Mall entrance, not wanting to get soaked to the bone from the fat drops of rain attacking her. Ect:-) also i would put the paragraph about mia before this one to introduce the character better. Your story was good:-) Keep it up:-)
almost 6 years ago Chocolate Mousse said:
Yay, humor! I like this - it's clever and interesting. However, I think that the part in the mall was confusing (how did the little kid push a 200-pound guy on top of her?), and I've never liked it when the main character speaks to the readers - though that's just my personal preference. I also noticed that you didn't capitalize "I" a couple times - at the end of chapter two and the beginning of chapter three, I think.
I didn't notice any other grammar errors, except that you used "?!", which isn't technically correct but can work. It's a funny beginning and it'll be interesting to see where it ends up. :-)

Mental health thru art!
I have it on good authority this program will be available in Yuma, Arizona very soon.
When I lived in Yuma I owned an art gallery and I'm proud to tell you I hosted art shows for the local mental health organization two years in a row.
The first show was for a group called NARSAD and the art was nothing less than spectacular! They took the show all over the USA. The show I hosted was the first in Arizona.
The second year the show was a photo display featuring mentally ill persons and their families. Their stories were included with the photographs. It was more educational then artistic, but very worthwhile.
"Google" NARSAD to see the art and find out how you can purchase it for your own enjoyment and also help a fine organization help some people with mental illiness. There are blank greeting cards and other affordable art products to order from NARSAD.

We are headed to Lake Tahoe (near Stateline) and want to take a boat tour. Does anyone have any advice as to the best tour company to go through??
We are headed to Lake Tahoe (near Stateline) and want to take a boat tour. Does anyone have any advice as to the best tour company to go through??
It is hard to say what is the "best". There are many choices out there. The most popular boat tours are the big paddlewheel boats that hold about 500 people: MS Dixie ll (Zephyr Cove) and the Tahoe Queen (ski run pier). There are some smaller boats such as the Bleu Wave and the Tahoe Star that I prefer over the big paddlewheel boats.
There are also a few others that might interest you- The Tahoe Paradise (a large yacht) or how about a sailing one- The Woodward ll? There is also a speed boat- Tahoe Thunder and the Tahoe Party Boat. I have never been on any of the above, so no personal expierence. There are also cruise boats that leave from North Tahoe, but I did not mention those.
Some of these offer dinner cruises, live music, lunch cruises or just a drink and a snack for purchase. I would not recommend a dinner cruise, as the food seems to be - ok, but pricey. There are better choices for a dinner on shore.
I have been on 4 boat cruises and I enjoyed the Bleu Wave (lunch) the most- just my personal preference. I am sure others have their own favorites.
My only experience was with the MS Dixie II. I believe that besides the above mentioned cruises, I believe there is a catamaran cruise out of Zephyr cove as well.
Great! Thanks so much!
After re-reading your question, I see you mentioned booking with a tour company. No need to go through a middle man, just book directly with whatever cruise outfit you decide to use.
Also, I forgot to mention, it is possible you might be able to pick up a discount coupon from your lodging location. Still another thing- Some of these outfits offer free transportation from the larger hotels at the Stateline area.
Are you flying into Reno? When we arrive at RNO, we pick up all the flyers and brochures for Tahoe at baggage claim. Lots of coupons in them.
We took the MS Dixie 2 as the price was right for our family of 6. Someday we'd love to take the expensive wooden boats for a tour.
The Dixie offered a lunch if you wanted, a snack bar, and 3 decks to walk around, which we enjoyed.
Great! We are flying into Reno! We will grab some brochures. Thank you!
Definitely by sailboat . Checkout tahoesail.com. We often take guests on the sunset sailing tours. Beautiful. The Dixie is okay, but better viewing by sailboat.
We just returned from Tahoe and for others wondering the same, we really enjoyed our ride on the Sierra Cloud Catamaran, which takes off from the Hyatt's pier. The ride was nice, taking us south along the coastline, and the captain was very knowledgeable. He gave us lots of great info about the area's history. They included wine, beer, soda, fresh fruit and cheese and crackers. It was definitely a highlight of our trip and a very good value at the rate charged.
We love the sunset sail on the Sierra Cloud when staying in Tahoe. Glad you had a wonderful time as well.
I just got back from a weekend in Tahoe. After the Lake Tahoe Marathon, our entire running team (about 40 people) celebrated with a cruise on the "Tahoe Paradise." Everything was great -- tasty and plentiful snacks, comfortable seating, smooth sailing, and gorgeous views of the lake. The bartender whipped up all kinds of mixed drinks with incredible speed; the bar was well-stocked with liquor, beers, wine, sodas, and water. Some team members opted to relax in the downstairs banquet area or out on the decks, but the crew kept the party going in the upstairs room with dance music, cheerfully accommodating constant requests from the passengers. This is a well-run operation; I would book another party with them anytime!

The world of comic books has been a hotbed of insanity right from the very beginning, but one group of heroes has consistently taken that madness one step further.
Since their creation in the '60s and particularly since Chris Claremont took over Uncanny X-Men in 1975, the X-Men have existed on the fringes of society, their mutations an obvious metaphor for the less visible and most oppressed in modern society. That's why there are so many LGBT mutants.
In 2012, writer Greg Pak revived X-Treme X-Men for a second volume, and with it came one of the most downright insane comic book moments since Emma Frost seduced Cyclops on Jean Grey's grave. More than just crazy, it was both provocative and progressive. I'm talking about the moment when Wolverine made out with Hercules.
For context, in X-Treme X-Men, Dazzler and Cyclops use a Ghost Box to enter a portal into an alternate dimension (or something like that) — Earth 12025, in which exists a number of alt-mutants, essentially creating the opportunity for the X-Men to be reimagined in a completely new set of circumstances with no impact whatsoever on what's already established as canon in the main universe.
In X-Treme X-Men #9, the demi-God Hercules is revealed to be in a relationship with this dimension's Wolverine (who is not named Logan, but James Howlett), in a strip which features a cheekily suggestive line about Hercukes' appreciation of leather. The same strip identifies Hercules as "Son of Zeus, boyfriend of Howlett," followed by the hilariously sassy "That's right. Get used to it."
It's not until the following issue, though, that the two men share a kiss. The panel could hardly be any more dramatic, with the two men framed against a backdrop of vivid color that typifies this insane, fantasy-inspired dimension, Hercules' leg hoisted up around Wolverine's waist... stood atop the carcus of a freshly-slain monster.
This is not a comic book writer throwing in a gay kiss quietly, hoping nobody will notice or care. This is Pak daring the reader to erupt into a ball of flame.
So it was surprising, and refreshing, when this issue of X-Treme was met with pretty much universal positivity, demonstrating that the X-Men, comic books' ultimate underdogs and frequent champions of the oppressed, are beloved enough by readers to skirt any of the potential homophobia that comes with a character going gay — even if it is an alternate universe.
Zeus, full of rage that his son had flaunted his relationship with the mortal Wolverine, would then banish the pair to Tartarus. The issue that followed, #11, was the last in the volume, and although there was some follow-up in the X-termination story arc, the fates of Howlett and Hercules remain unresolved.
Still, while our Wolverine prepares for his last stand (my bad...) in Wolverine 3: Weapon X, which may or may not adapt The Death of Wolverine, it's good to know that somewhere out there, an altogether different kind of beast roams Earth 12025, representing the best of everything the X-Men stand for.

Is the Balmain x H&M Collection Too Expensive?
Soon you'll be able to Whip and Nae Nae in Balmain x H&M just like Kendall Jenner (scroll down for the video), but it'll cost you. #HMBalmainNation's sky-high price points make it the retail giant's most expensive designer collab yet. A pair of pants costs $400, a small clutch will run you $200 and, at its priciest, an embroidered dress is a whopping $649.
Sure the prices are affordable in relation to actual Balmain but compared to previous H&M designer collaborations, they're pretty steep. Alexander Wang for H&M ranged from $10 to $350; Lanvin for H&M retailed for $39.95 to $349 and Maison Martin Margiela for H&M clocked in at $12.95 to $399. Why the sudden uptick in prices? (more…)

New technology, recently liberalized markets and competition are forcing post offices around the world to innovate, says the Economist.
Most postal services are mammoth enterprises:
- Traditional postal operators represent roughly 1 percent of the labor force and 1 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in developed economies.
- Globally, national postal systems account for over $250 billion in revenue and employ 5 million people.
New technologies, however, are shaking up post offices, allowing some to operate at half the cost of their competitors. For example:
- Automated sorting equipment can read addresses and then place the mail in the precise order for the letter carrier to deliver.
- E-mail and online financial information (like monthly bills and bank statements) are reducing one of the post's last profitable areas.
As a result, politicians are opening markets and pressuring post offices to reduce costs, with some of the biggest changes occurring in Europe. By the end of the decade, there will be more than one postal operator per country in France, Britain, Germany and the Netherlands. The national post will no longer be run by government and may well be partially owned by another company or have publicly traded shares.
The authors note that change can significantly reduce labor costs:
- In countries that have undergone reform and liberalization, such as Sweden, as much as 25 percent of postal jobs have disappeared.
- Ten years after their post office became a corporation, New Zealand's system had reduced its staff by 40 percent, while handling 20 percent more business.
- As a result of improved efficiency, the price of a letter fell significantly in real terms.

Lehman High School to Launch Mobile Computer Lab
Senator Klein gives $20,000 grant to Lehman High School to be used for a mobile computer lab
NEW YORK- On Friday, March 5th, Senator Jeff Klein (D-Bronx/Westchester) presented a $20,000 grant to Lehman High School. The money will be used to create a mobile computer lab, bringing Lehman High School into the 21st century. Currently, the school has one computer lab and teachers must sign up in advance to use it. Because it's in high demand, teachers usually only get to use the lab once or twice a year. Klein's grant will be used to purchase two laptop carts that will serve as a mobile computer lab, giving students better access to computers at all times
