I won't comment until all posters have had the opportunity to provide one reason that they think is a good and valid reason.
Just to tick you off, I'm sure.
Ha! AB, I didn't read any responses and then ran into yours .... JUST before mine. That's funny.
Funnier still is that I had to re-post it because the first one was removed. :)

GRAND LARCENY - WADDINGTON - A Waddington woman charged with using a credit card to run up over $3,500 in bills around the county has been jailed after being charged Saturday with six felony counts and three misdemeanors.
Massena-based state police charged April M. Streeter, 32, of Waddington with two counts of fourth-degree grand larceny, four counts of fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property and three counts of petit larceny. The charges were filed in connection with incidents that occurred in the town of Waddington, village of Canton, town of Potsdam, village of Massena and city of Ogdensburg.
She reportedly used a credit card that belonged to a non-profit organization in Waddington and had been stolen from one of the organizations volunteers.

- Noo Saro-Wiwa was brought up in England, but every summer she was dragged back to Nigeria - a country she viewed as an annoying parallel universe where she had to relinquish all her creature comforts and sense of individuality. Then her father, activist Ken Saro-Wiwa, was murdered there, and she didn't return for 10 years. Recently, she decided to rediscover and come to terms with the country her father loved. She travelled from the exuberant chaos of Lagos to the calm beauty of the eastern mountains; from the eccentricity of a Nigerian dog show to the empty Transwonderland Amusement Park - Nigeria's decrepit and deserted answer to Disneyland. She explored Nigerian christianity, delved into its history of slavery, examined the corrupting effect of oil, investigated Nollywood. She found the country as exasperating as ever, and frequently despaired at the corruption and inefficiency she encountered. But she also discovered that it was far more beautiful and varied than she had ever imagined, and was seduced by its thick tropical rainforest and ancient palaces and monuments. Most engagingly of all she introduces us to the people she meets, and gives us hilarious insights into the Nigerian character, its passion, wit and ingenuity.

Order of Business.
Wednesday, 27 May 1992
Dáil Éireann Debate
The Taoiseach: It is proposed to take No. 10. It is also proposed that business shall be interrupted at 10.30 p.m. It is further proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that: (1) the proceedings on the Committee Stage of No. 10, if not previously concluded, shall be brought to a conclusion at 6.30 p.m. by one question which shall be put from the Chair and which shall in relation to amendments include only amendments set down or accepted by the Minister for Justice; (2) statements, to which Standing Order 41 shall not apply, shall be taken today on the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy and the following arrangements shall apply: (i) the statement of the Minister for Agriculture and Food and of the spokespersons for the Fine Gael and Labour Parties shall not exceed 20 minutes in each case; (ii) the statement of each other Member called on shall not exceed ten minutes; and (iii) the Minister or a Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture and Food shall be called upon not later than 10.20 p.m. to make a statement in reply.
Private Members' Business shall be No. 20 and the proceedings thereon shall be brought to a conclusion at 8.30 p.m.
[550]An Ceann Comhairle: Is the proposal that business be interrupted at 10.30 p.m. tonight agreed? Agreed. Are the proposals for dealing with No. 10 agreed?
Mr. Spring: With regard to items Nos. 1 and 10 on today's Order Paper, it was my understanding that the statements on the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy would commence at 12.30 p.m. today. I am deeply disturbed at the idea that those statements will not commence until 9 p.m. taking into consideration the voting arrangements for this evening. Given the serious implications for Irish agriculture of the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, I ask that the Whips meet again to see if more time can be allocated to this debate, even if the Committee Stage of item No. 10, the Criminal Evidence Bill, is concluded earlier. I believe agriculture warrants more than a one-and-a-half-hour debate.
Mr. Barry: The time allocated for the debate on the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy is totally inadequate. Under the proposals put by the Government, this party will have only two speakers in addition to our spokesman. For a party with 55 Deputies, this proposal is totally inadequate. In order to have a lengthier debate on the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy I suggest that the proceedings on the Criminal Evidence Bill be adjourned at 12.30 p.m. until another day rather than concluded at 6.30 p.m. I propose that as an amendment to the Order of Business.
Mr. McCartan: Those of us who have been actively involved in the debate on the Criminal Evidence Bill would be more than happy to conclude the debate today. Therefore, I ask that the debate not be adjourned, as suggested. I believe the debate can be concluded sooner than the time indicated and I ask that no guillotine be put on the debate. The reason I rise is to ask the Taoiseach if those amendments put down by Members on this side of the House which are acceptable to the Minister will also be agreed to.
[551]The Taoiseach: The Government do not have a problem with when the proceedings on No. 10 are finished. Yesterday, an aspiration was expressed to the Whips that the debate would be concluded either last night or early today. The Whips can meet again after the Order of Business today to discuss the matter. If the debate can be concluded by 1.30 p.m. or 5.30 p.m. today that is acceptable to the Government. We do not have a problem with granting more time to the debate on the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy — we wish to facilitate the debate in the House — but I would not be in favour of adjourning the debate on the Criminal Evidence Bill.
Mr. Spring: I welcome that response from the Taoiseach. Perhaps we could agree tentatively to 1.30 p.m. as the commencement time for the debate on the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy.
Mr. Barry: I wish to add to what the Taoiseach has said. He said he did not have a problem with when the debate on No. 10 was finished. That is not acceptable to us. We would like to commence the debate on the Common Agricultural Policy at 12.30 p.m. or 1.30 p.m. but we would not like the debate on No. 10 to be guillotined. We should like the debate on that Bill to be adjourned at that stage.
An Ceann Comhairle: Can I suggest, therefore, that these matters be left to the Whips to determine?
Mr. Barry: As long as note is taken of what I have said.
Mr. McCartan: The Criminal Evidence Bill has been hailed as one of the most fundamental milestones in the development of the law and any guillotine of that Bill on Committee Stage would not be welcome.
[552]An Ceann Comhairle: Is the proposal for dealing with No. 20, that Private Members' Business conclude at 8.30 p.m., satisfactory? Agreed.
Mr. Barry: May I ask the Taoiseach if he will comment on a report issued by the European Community yesterday which draws attention to what is called the Irish tardy response to EC Directives on the environment and states it intends to take the Irish Government to court on matters of toxic waste, water, household waste and wild birds?
An Ceann Comhairle: That is clearly not a matter for the Order of Business.
Mr. Barry: These are very serious charges——
An Ceann Comhairle: I am sorry, Deputy Barry. There are ample ways of raising that matter in the House.
Mr. Barry: ——against the Government who are introducing a programme to protect the environment.
An Ceann Comhairle: Deputy Spring.
Mr. Barry: We are going to be taken to court on this matter. I expect the Taoiseach to rebut the charges made.
Mr. Spring: May I ask the Taoiseach to indicate to the House when item No. 1, the Health (Family Planning) (Amendment) Bill, 1991, will be taken?
The Taoiseach: As soon as it is ready for publication.
Proinsias De Rossa: We passed a Bill in this House some weeks ago which provides for the posting of polling cards to the electorate in relation to the Maastricht referendum. These are essential in order to provide the information the electorate require in order to make their decision. May I ask the Government what arrangements they are making, in view of the postal dispute, to comply with the legislation which obliges us to get a [553] card into the hands of every elector in the State?
An Ceann Comhairle: This matter has been raised in the House before.
The Taoiseach: As the Deputy will be aware, polling cards are not essential for people casting their votes on election day.
Proinsias De Rossa: The legislation requires that the people have polling cards.
Mr. McCartan: It is stated in the legislation.
An Ceann Comhairle: This should not lead to argument now.
Proinsias De Rossa: The legislation requires that polling cards be discharged through the post.
Mr. Shatter: I would draw to your attention, Sir, a serious breach of the privileges of Members of this House. In this morning's papers there are widespread accounts of a report allegedly published by the visiting committee to Mountjoy Prison. It is my understanding that that report should have been laid before this House and copies should have been placed in the Library and given to Members of this House. As of 10.15 this morning no Member of this House had a copy of that report, nor was it in the Library. It is a report of considerable seriousness. I would ask that the necessary arrangements be made to deal with the difficulty and that an explanation be given to the House as to why the report has not been placed in the Library.
An Ceann Comhairle: I know nothing of the matter to which the Deputy refers, nor have I been given any notice of the matter. Perhaps the Deputy would refer the matter to the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, which is the appropriate body to deal with such matters.
Mr. Shatter: I appreciate, Sir, that you [554] knew nothing about the matter but I am drawing it to your attention to ask you, as Ceann Comhairle of this House, to look into the matter and to advise the House of the position.
An Ceann Comhairle: As I have said, it may be a matter for the Committee on Procedure and Privileges.
Mr. Shatter: The report deals with matters relating to the prison service——
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy has made his point. I am calling Deputy Michael Higgins.
Mr. Shatter: Members of the House should obtain a copy of the report and should not have to read about it in newspaper reports.
Mr. M. Higgins: May I ask the Taoiseach if he is aware of the widespread confusion created because of the conflict between his remarks to this House and the remarks of our ambassador to one of the European institutions in relation to the legislation promised as a result of the Norris case? Is the Taoiseach aware that the ambassador has stated, on behalf of the Irish Government, that amending legislation is to be introduced? Yet the Taoiseach told this House on some occasions that the legislation was ready, sometimes that it was being prepared and the latest information was that it would not be introduced this year. Is the Taoiseach aware of——
An Ceann Comhairle: The Deputy has made his point. Is legislation promised in the area to which the Deputy refers?
The Taoiseach: I am not aware of the confusion referred to by the Deputy. I have said on many occasions in this House that work is proceeding on the legislation and that it is part of the Programme for Government, but legislation that has greater priority in the Government's legislative programme takes precedence over it. Consequently, the [555] legislation referred to will not be introduced this year.
Mr. M. Higgins: May I ask the Taoiseach——
An Ceann Comhairle: Sorry, there can be no argument. I am proceeding now to the Order of Business proper.
Mr. M. Higgins: Has the ambassador been made aware of the position?
An Ceann Comhairle: Members have already expressed concern about the inadequancy of time to deal with these matters. A brief question from Deputy De Rossa.
Proinsias De Rossa: May I ask the Taoiseach if he has received advice from the Attorney General on the potential threat to the outcome of the Maastricht Treaty referendum if the law is not complied with in regard to distributing polling cards to the electorate? Has the Attorney General given an opinion on this matter and, if so, could the Taoiseach convey it to the House?
The Taoiseach: The Deputy need have no fears about the successful outcome of the Maastricht Treaty referendum. I know he is in the minority and if he wants to remain in that position so be it.
Proinsias De Rossa: The Taoiseach is getting too smart.
Mr. McCartan: He should watch his back.
Mr. Yates: I understand from tomorrow's Order of Business that Vote 35 dealing with transport will be taken. Perhaps the Taoiseach would avail of the opportunity today to communicate with the Minister for Tourism, Transport and Communications so that the Government can decide on the Shannon stop-over, thereby preventing constant leaks and confusion.
[556]An Ceann Comhairle: Let us wait for that measure tomorrow.
Mr. Yates: If there is a policy on this matter the Taoiseach should state what it is.

Nicola, Steve's wife, likes this dessert more than any of his others, mostly because you have to eat it with yet more Pedro Ximénez sherry. If you don't want to splash out on the real McCoy, use another good, sweet dark sherry.
YIELD: Serves 8-10
IngredientsFor the base
- 170 g (6 ounces) digestive biscuit crumbs
- 40 g (1 1/2 ounces) skinned, roasted and crushed hazelnuts
- 40 g (1 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
- grated zest of 1/2 lemon
- 1.5 kg (3 1/2 pounds) cream cheese
- 225 g (8 ounces) icing (confectioners') sugar, sieved
- 3 medium eggs
- 2 vanilla pods, cut in half and the seeds scraped out
- 10 ml (2 teaspoons) vanilla extract (not vanilla essence)
- 100 ml (3 1/2 fluid ounces) Pedro Ximénez sherry
- finely grated zest of 2 lemons
- Shelled and skinned whole hazelnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
1. To make the base, combine all the ingredients. Press the mixture into a 22.5 x 6.25 cm (9 x 2 1/2 inch) springform tin that has been lined with greased parchment paper. Chill.
2. Preheat the oven to 175°C / 335°F / gas mark 3 1/2.
3. To make the filling, put the cream cheese in a blender and blend until smooth. Add all the other ingredients except the lemon zest and blend well. Then add the lemon zest do not be tempted to add it earlier or the mixture will split.
4. Pour the filling on to the chilled base and bake for 45 minutes. Only the outside 2.5 cm (1 inch) of the cake will appear to be cooked; the middle should be wobbly. Cool completely and then chill for 2 hours, or until set.
5. Serve at room temperature. Place a slice on a plate and scatter on the toasted hazelnuts. Serve with large glasses of chilled Pedro Ximénez sherry.

Thanks but no thanks.
Responding to a recent proposal by Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham, Purcell Construction said it has no interest in having a planned 88-acre industrial park on outer Bradley Street annexed into the city of Watertown. Instead, Purcell Construction plans to pursue establishing water and sewer districts through the town of Pamelia for the industrial park.
In November, Purcell announced plans for the park with railroad access and space for up to 20 businesses on 88 acres of commercial land off outer Bradley Street at Interstate 81. The company bought the land Oct. 3 from Pyramid Cos., Syracuse, for $1.25 million. Only about 7 acres of the proposed industrial park are in the city, while the remaining land is in Pamelia.
On Monday night, Mayor Graham and Councilwoman Roxanne M. Burns countered by saying they oppose the water and sewer districts and would rather sell city water directly to Purcell.
The mayor also contended the Watertown City Council has the final say on the deal.
This is not ordering a pizza, Mr. Graham said.
Ms. Burns added she has reservations with the districts because Purcell would be the lone customer.
Thats almost unheard of, she said, adding that Pamelia would stand to gain financially if the parcel is not annexed.
Last month, Mayor Graham said it might be advantageous if the industrial park were in the city. He noted Purcell Construction could receive financial assistance and get help from the city to apply for other funding through the state. If the project is done in Pamelia, the developer would have to figure out how to get water and sewer service to it. If its in the city, Purcell would have to purchase those services from the city or go through the process of creating water and sewer districts in Pamelia.
Richard R. Gefell, Purcells project manager, and Pamelia Town Supervisor Lawrence C. Longway declined to comment.
At times, the relationship between the two municipalities has been prickly. For instance, Pamelia officials would not allow construction trucks to drive along Plaza Drive when the Creek Wood apartment complex was built on the citys north side two years ago.
On Dec. 18, local attorney David A. Renzi, who represents the town of Pamelia, sent a letter notifying the city that the town plans to form a water and sewer district for Purcells development.

From Ireland to Canada. Peter Chains is a fine example of an artist who will always find means to express his artistry no matter what part of the world fate has brought him to. The songs in Carrion Crows, his debut EP are the result of musical ideas he wrote when he was still in Shannon Ireland. At that time, he was fronting a Dark Metal band, singing songs based on Celtic myths and other esoteric stuff. All these engagements got cut off, when he decided to move to Windsor Canada. But in the midst of work, family and finally being a proud father of a beautiful girl, Peter continued to write songs on the side. The result is a beautiful and haunting acoustic EP Carrion Crows.

His deep voice is a reminder of the late Peter Steele with a slight Christy Moore lilt when he sings mellow tunes. His amazing vocal timbre has created a lot of positive feedback all over the cyberspace and also in live venues where he performs once in a while. With enough back up and growing fame, the music of Peter Chains could be Ireland's amazing export.

This is a fan made video. Keep those likes and comments coming!

Debut EP Interview

Peter Chains-Lynch is an Irish singer/songwriter who now lives in Windsor Ontario, Canada. This EP is a continuation of his musical work that was put on hold for years after leaving Ireland. He started writing songs for the acoustic guitar. He also wrote and co-wrote complex songs when he fronted Irish metal band Giora.

My idea of writing an article about the EP turned into a brief interview. He was around and I thought I could use a little craic which is an Irish way of saying that we had a great time conversing beyond this interview. It was great catching up with this wonderful artist.

Peter it has taken years and now the EP is here. Your labour of love! It must have been a hectic spot in your life leaving Ireland and your old band and building new roots in Canada. Tell me a little bit about this interesting journey.

Well you pretty much hit the nail on the head.. this EP has been long over due. Basically it was about finding time, motivation and the sound/direction I wanted to go in… Due to recently splitting with my wife, I have found a lot more time to focus on my music, and to really give it a go. So I put together 6/7 tracks that I thought would sum up the direction I was heading, mostly with vocals. This EP is basically me finding my voice and pretty much the direction I am going with it. I truly hope people enjoy it and eagerly anticipate the Album I aim to make from this, which I aim for next summer. This EP is 100% free, as it is basically my writing board.

There are 7 songs and these are old and new right? Did you change anything lyrically (or chord wise) to accommodate a new chapter in your life?

As I mentioned before the splitting with the wife had an impact on my direction… Not musically, but it did influences my outlook on life, so in turn, effected my lyrics. The song White Lie is pretty much about the flaws we had in our Marriage (both mine and hers – takes two). Obsidian Skies I wrote before the split, but was about my own Doubts, which subsequently, turned out to happen. But all my songs are pretty much personal experiences, and that will always be my direction lyrically.

There are songs with dark themes but there are also inspirational ones. To what extent has fatherhood influenced your creativity?

Fatherhood has definitely given me a more positive outlook, compared to my earlier stuff, which was a lot more depressing, which we can put down to youth in a sense lol. The Lyric in White Lie is about my Daughter, "Within darkness there is light, a little beacon that shines so bright."

I have also been working on a song for her, which I'm sure will come to most as a surprise, as it wont sound ANYTHING like what I've done before, as it will be fully upbeat.

 One of the tracks is called Black Rainbow which is co- written by Andreas Geese. This is quite interesting because I never know you to share song writing credits. What's the reason for the collaboration?

I was in a band in my teens called Children of Lilith.. we played hard rock music to a dark theme.. similar to Alice Cooper. Music was written by myself and Andreas Geese, and Lyrics by myself and Mike Campbell… But Black Rainbow lyrics were 100% me, and really close to home… but the main guitar line was written by Andreas Geese.. an amazing Guitarist, great guy in general.. just a shame that band came to end, too much drama in our young lives haha.

 Can you give your listeners a timeline of your musical plans? What are the things we can expect to happen after your completion of this EP?

Well the timeline now is to review what I did, pick out the mistakes I made, which I made a few, and work on a full length Debut album..Which I am aiming for the summer of 2013, which I hope to tour this album and with this EP I hope to get some notice.. enough to get in the doors of some venues. Basically to put myself in the shop window. I have started gigging again, but since I am in a country where I am virtually unknown, progress is slow and hard.. but still progress, and I fully aim to increase my efforts. In the mean time I really hope people notice the progress and the efforts I have made the last year in finally producing a solid EP and hope they can find it in there hearts to spread it around, and recommend it to family and friends as a must hear underground musician… I swear I am not asking much .

Being a huge fan of the stealth genre, I have high hopes for the Splinter Cell: Blacklist. I've played them all, from the original to Conviction, and I have to say – Mr. Fisher has a bigger task at hand than saving the world – and that's pushing the Splinter Cell franchise ahead to compete with today's big, blockbuster franchises. But does it need to? After seeing the new trailer released today, I'm compelled to explore.
The world of video games operate on a delicate balance of recognizable brands that swivel between using a brand's namesake to sell, and suffocating consumers on brand overkill. Splinter Cell does neither, yet manages to keep getting made and exist in a weird gaming grey-area where it "does enough to get by" every few years.
It's all about risk-return tradeoff. Low risk yields low return. High risk has the potential to yield high return, with the possibility of loss. So what's Ubisoft to do? Seemingly, they release Splinter Cell knowing it's low risk. It's an existing franchise with established mindshare and marketability. I assume they are saving their high risk chips for games like Watch Dogs and The Division – which are new franchises. With that, I remind you that one bares the Tom Clancy iron branding (answer: The Division!).
This realization is sad, because I have fond memories of the franchise and hope Ubisoft doesn't play it safe with Splinter Cell forever. If there's another title in the series after Blacklist, mix it up – surprise us Ubisoft. Do something bold. Shock us.
So the answer is, in my opinion, Ubisoft doesn't want Splinter Cell to compete, because in the end, it's a low risk venture. It'll probably be released to similar review scores as its predecessors, secure more profit that what it took to create at Ubisoft Toronto and be considered a marginal release before next-gen arrives this holiday season.
I'm looking forward to Blacklist, but looking beyond it also. We'll see.

I've used my Xyron 250 Sticker Machine for a number of projects. My granddaughter loves using the repositionable tape for paper dolls. No bad experiences other than turning the handle.

Comments about Xyron Xyron 250 Sticker Machine:
I bought this as a Christmas present for my two kids (ages 4 and 7). They love art projects, and love stickers, so it was the perfect gift - make your own! They played with it Christmas morning (one of the first "toys" they turned to) and made a ton of creative stickers, using even scraps from other toy boxes (like Star Wars). I did my homework and read reviews of many competing sticker machines, but this seemed to be the most reliable (and used by adults and kids alike). They had no problem figuring out how to use it. We really like it. We did run out of tape on the second day, so it's a good idea to buy the replacement cartridge when you buy the machine. (I need to monitor their use a little too, otherwise the cost adds up . . .) All in all a very good purchase, and one I know my kids enjoy. And I'm looking forward to making homemade cards and notes.

Terrorists given new identities allowed to board commercial flights, watchdog finds
Posted By Adan On May 17, 2013 @ 1:56 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,War on Terror | Comments Disabled

Washington Post
May 17, 2013
An investigation of the Justice Department's witness protection program uncovered glaring security problems that allowed terrorists who had been given new identities after cooperating with U.S. prosecutors to board commercial flights in the United States.
In some cases, suspects whose names were on federal watch lists that were meant to keep them off commercial aircraft were nevertheless able to board flights because the Justice Department had failed to add their new, government-issued identities to counterterrorism databases.
Overall, the Justice Department inspector general concluded that there were "significant deficiencies in the handling of known or suspected terrorists who were admitted into the [Witness Security] Program," according to a summary of the report made public Thursday.

I don't know. If I could keep my FN, I would probably just do Ashley Eleanor Grace, nn Lily. I think that suits me much better than Ashley Marie. I honestly think Ashley's perfect for me, I don't necessarily want to change it! If I had to change the full name, though, it'd probably be Lillian "Lily", Hannah, or Annabel. Maybe Eleanor. Those were my options back when I was considering changing my name.Ashley

I love her boobs... Got me so wet
Such a great video, lovely body, brilliant tits...and would love to be in the place of that sybian when she starts going wild on it

This girl is a fucking whore, I love it.
She knows how to handle this machine. But i like the part where she needs a real cock too.
WOOOOOAAAAH. Exceptionally beautiful, responsive girl . I don't think she has her ultimate CUM in the ultimate opportunity. Sybian requires the right sense of excitement and horny awareness before the fun. She has enough sex appeal for 10 men and I don't believe she had one cum or squirt during the show. NOT fair to her - under the right situation, this girl has the potential of a SCREAMER. Prime her right and have FUN with her other SEXY attributes she wants you SO hard to discover
i l0ve them 0000000000000000000ps
Very nice... Natural beauty with natural reactions to the Sylbian from shy and demure progressing to wild and completely fuckable and uninhibited when she began to gobble on his cock! I don't vote "thumbs up" on many but is definitely one for the ages. Thankx, Elena!!
I saw her in another video. She went on the street and was fucked in bar. Who can send me a link with that?

Love the way she looks so innocent and shy at the beginning. Yeah, like she had never been fucked by a machine on video before, LOL! My girlfriend and I leased one f these things for a month. I fucked her ass while she rode the machine and it was so intense when she came I shot a load so far up her that she tasted it in her month. l
She is the most sexiest woman on this site!! No doubt!!
die maus ist echt spitze
She is so hot..
My needs need satifying like that
This could be one of the best vids ever if the kept her clothes on til the end and w/o this silly blowjob.
My need is to have a mature woman make me cum...againandagain...
Thats a Good Porno
This is like Classic Internet Porn. I remember this years ago. One cannot simply just forget Ellen.
This Girl are Great
She's a beautiful woman, but I can't believe she never had an orgasm. Was she really that shy or was the Sybian not turned to the right setting?
That is the best video I have ever seen. I was pleasantly surprised to see her great titties.

You can hardly overdo positive (reinforcing) feedback. If you give people critical (formative) feedback, even just a little can discourage or bruise them. So, in the formative feedback you offer, pick the areas where they're headed for trouble, and do warn them. Otherwise, choose as your coaching tool the style of positive affirmation.
I went into one church that post-mortems on every event. The staff documented all the things that went wrong so they could be corrected next time: here is the event; here's what we did; and here's what went wrong; here's what we've got to do to avoid it next time. Predictably, these staff pastors were discouraged.
My suggestion was this: "Re-specify your debriefings. Instead, list ten things that worked exceedingly well, list three things that you want to do different or better next time, and then close the folder."
The change in attitude toward their work was enormous. Previously, they had been driven by perfectionism to confess things that weren't even sins. Now they were beginning to discover that doing things right is a far less important factor than doing the right things. Anything worth doing is worth doing imperfectly.
Here are two important questions to ask anyone in giving him or her feedback. These questions are good over and over again when you're coaching people.
- What are you trying to do?
- How are you getting in your own way?
Why are these questions so helpful? Most people when trying to do something, but not having success, look for something to blame.
In order to keep people aware of the fact that their decisions and their activity are the things that make the difference, don't ask them what obstacles and challenges they're facing. Instead, say, "How are you getting in your own way in what you're trying to do?" In other words, "What are you doing to hinder yourself?" In that way you are helping people take greater responsibility for their own behavior.

text: http://www.linuxforums.org – This one is a puzzle... Need to search a filesystem that contains select files (randomly distributed) where an impacted file got each byte of its data nulled out \0. So the impacted files still have the same filesize, but the file no longer works (null bytes). Grep seems a great way to identify which files were impacted. Among the dozen or so variations I've tried, \0+[^\0]* was my best shot. Unfortunately, that found files containing valid data after nulls anywhere in the file. Could you suggest a grep regular expression that would identify all and only those files where all bytes of its data have been nulled \0? Thanks and Best Wishes, Bob (HowTos)

I'm really curious. Anywhere from the amount in a single sleeping bag to ~10lb.Thanks!
Thru-hiker among other places. around $30 per 3 oz of 900 FP down.
Wilderness Logics has 850+ down fill for 6.75 an ounce. I was impressed with the quality.
I have read here on BPL that these guys are good with fair pricing and good selection.Unfortunately I have been unable to get an e-mail response from them. 3 politely worded e-mails over the past 2 months asking for current prices have gone without response. Hmmmmm. Maybe someone else will have better luck.They do list their telephone number on their web-site, although I have not yet called.http://www.featherind.com

"Unfortunately I have been unable to get a response from them. 3 politely worded e-mails over the past 2 months asking for current prices have gone without response."I guess that you could say that their site is down.--B.G.--
In all fairness, I have not tried calling them.E-mail, texting and electronic whiz-bangs are not always the best manner of establishing communication. I will edit my original reply to indicate such.
haha, I think bob is make a play on "down"
How did I miss that?
...if you want spar with big dogs like BG and the Idster.
You need to wait until the price of down is down.--B.G.--
"...if you want spar with big dogs like BG and the Idster."If you want to run with the big dogs, you have to learn to lift your leg pretty high.--B.G.--
Yes, it's true. That went right over my head. Fortunately I don't get my feathers ruffled easily. I just hope my reputation on BPL doesn't go down the tubes.... and he's back.

Does DIY gear supply still have 850?-Tim
Nice segue Tim.I actually heard back from Feather Industries this evening. Here is the low-down. (Argh ... Sorry Tim.)850cu" 90% net white goose (Canadian) = 5.30CAN$ per ounce600cu" 75% net white goose (China) = 3.06CAN$ per ounceMOQ and all that is on their site. If OP or anyone wants the full current price & FP sheet just PM me.

Feathertex. They don't list fill power but I've heard it's probably in the 700's. $39/lb
I contacted Feathertex about 3 weeks ago and was told the following:"Our goose down is currently out of stock and it does not look like we will be having much, our suppliers are mostly selling us duck."" Our goose down is 650 and duck down is 550""Zach after checking inventory in the shop it appears both the goose and duck down are out of stock."That was as of January 28, 2013 so it seems like it is kind of hit and miss with these guys. However, the responses I got were very quick.
I wrangled with Featherind a while back re: getting some down. It was a tossup for me between Downlite and Featherind. At the time Downlite was selling 800 for $80/lb (this was in late July 2012), and I still thought I might get it cheaper at Featherind. Turns out shipping from Featherind is a beast. If I remember correctly, after shipping their price/lb. is about the same (maybe *slightly* less) than Thru-hiker. If you want specifics I can dredge up the old email from them, and let you know about shipping. But I'd ask that question before getting too far with them. After that fiasco, I went back to Downlite only to find that they had bumped their price/lb by 50%, citing a clerical error in their previous listing as the cause for the spontaneous increase. I think prices are about even across the board as far as price/lb. of a given fill power, at least as far as I found, between Downlite, Thru-Hiker, Wilderness Logics, FeatherInd, etc.
Bloomingdales "My Luxe" down pillows. I have built in radar for them at a garage sale or thrift store. $460 for a soft king size! Some day....http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/bloomingdales-my-luxe-soft-king-pillow?ID=95780

Medical Education Partnership Initiative
March 8, 2011
American officials and representatives from medical schools from a dozen sub-Saharan African countries met in Johannesburg from March 7-10 to begin forming a network intended to transform medical education in Africa and dramatically increase the quality and quantity of health care workers in the region.
The United States will provide about $130 million to support the Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI), through grants that have been awarded directly to African institutions, including two in South Africa. The awardees are forming a network including about 30 regional partners, country health and education ministries, and more than 20 U.S. collaborators.
The network is supported by the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief—known as PEPFAR—with additional support from the U.S. National Institutes of Health. The program is designed to support PEPFAR's goals to train and retain 140,000 new health care workers and improve the capacity of partner countries to deliver primary health care.

Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary: A Natural Gem in the Heart of Saint Paul
by Sarah Clark
Take a ten-minute walk east from Saint Paul, Minnesota's bustling downtown and you will find an unexpected oasis of nature. With towering bluffs, spring-fed wetlands and restored prairies, the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary offers an escape from the concrete and glass of the city. It's also a place that tells the story of a changing Minnesota.
Once a verdant marsh where Phalen Creek and Trout Brook met and joined the Mississippi River, the sanctuary land has been a sacred place for indigenous people, the site of Minnesota's early rail and brewing operations and an abandoned eyesore littered with garbage. Now a city park created through years of effort by community members and a host of partners, the sanctuary is coming full circle back to nature.
Local teenagers, many of them from Hmong immigrant families, are helping restore the land's prairie and oak woodland habitat. Downtown office workers flock to the park during their lunch hour and it's common to catch site of a bald eagle soaring overhead or a great blue heron taking flight from one of the sanctuary wetlands.
The transformation of this land in the Mississippi River corridor has captured national attention as a model for communities working together to reclaim and restore nature in the city. The project won the 2005 "Take Pride in America" award for public/private partnerships. Landscape Architecture magazine and a new textbook on "brownfields" reclamation hold it up as a case study for other cities. Most recently, the sanctuary was one of three Saint Paul projects winning the HGTV "Change the World Start at Home" contest.
At the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary, the stories of Minnesota's past, present and future are on display.
The Carving of a River Corridor
People living near the sanctuary twelve thousand years ago would have looked out over one of the largest waterfalls in North America with approximately five times the flow of today's Niagra Falls. As the rush of water washed away the sandstone and undermined the limestone along the river, it receded and carved the distinctive gorge that stretches to downtown Minneapolis.
The first remnants of human activity here date back some two thousand years, when American Indians built mounds on the river bluffs, employing burial practices typical of the Hopewell Culture that once influenced much of the eastern United States. Several of the ancient mounds remain on the river bluffs above the sanctuary in Indian Mounds Park.
Dakota Life along Wakpa Tanka
A sacred and mysterious cave, Wakan Tipi (spirit house) also drew people to the land.
Snakes and other images were carved into the cave wall and ceiling and pure water flowed from deep within. It is said that several young Dakota paddled deep into the cave, and witnessed strange sounds and flickering lights. This experience likely dissuaded others from going into the cave and gave it the name Wakan Tipi, but on occasion some others have entered and today some Dakota still consider this a very sacred place.
The seasonal village of Kaposia existed in two locations downstream, near Pigs Eye Lake. Mdewakanton Dakota resided in Kaposia mainly during the warmer months of the year, when they fished from the river, foraged for plants and hunted for rabbit, fowl, deer and buffalo from the surrounding area. After the first hard frost the band would separate and spend the winter in sheltered creek valleys.
Though French traders had come to the area decades before, the British arriving after 1763 brought more intensive contact with the European world. In 1766 the English colonist Jonathan Carver visited Wakan Tipi and etched the British coat-of-arms into the cave wall. The cave soon became known as Carver's Cave.
As American expansion grew during the 1830s the most dramatic and damaging changes to Dakota life took place. In 1837 the Dakota ceded their lands east of the Mississippi River — a total of 35 million acres. Fourteen years later the Mdewakanton Dakota ceded their lands west of the Mississippi for reservations up the Minnesota River.
The Birth of Saint Paul Brings Changes to the Land
In 1855, the North Star Brewery began production on the site and a cave in the bluff was expanded for storing beer. In 1884, Jacob Schmidt began what would become an extensive brewing empire when he bought half the company. By 1893 owned all of it.
Railroads began filling in the mouth of Phalen Creek in 1868 and soon the once marshy area became solid earth. The outer atrium of Wakan Tipi, which was thought to house the petroglyphs, was removed to make way for expanding rail operations.
Twenty years later, Irish immigrants settled in Connemara Patch, a small shantytown adjacent to the railroad tracks near the Third Street Bridge. Like Swede Hollow Park, northwest of the sanctuary area, Connemara Patch became home for waves of immigrants from many countries.
By the 1920s Rail operations in the area reached their peak. The land was covered with multiple sets of trains and rail-related buildings that included machine shops, repair shops, and oil and gas storage areas.
As rail use decreased in the 1970s, the land was largely abandoned by the railroad and most buildings and tracks were removed over the next decade. American Indian organizations protested when the City opened Wakan Tipi, and a steel gate was placed over the cave mouth. Soil tumbling down the bluff soon obscured the cave entrance. The neglected land became covered in trash and used as an illegal dumping ground for old appliances and construction debris.
Despite its neglected state, however, neighbors saw its potential.
The Reclamation Begins
Community leaders spent thousands of hours of volunteer time advocating, planning and raising funds to secure and clean up the land. With help from the Trust for Public Land, National Park Service and others, the land was purchased and conveyed to the City of Saint Paul in 2002. The park was named after the late Congressman Bruce Vento who lived in this area and was an early supporter of the park effort.
Still littered with trash and contaminated by more than a century of industrial activity, the land was not yet a ready for public use. In 2003, hundreds of volunteers pitched in to remove more than 50 tons of trash from the land. Project partners achieved funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to remove contaminated soil and make sure the site was safe for families and children. The site was graded and planting work began in 2004.
In 2005 The Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary opened to the public.
Preserving Nature and History
The mouth of Wakan Tipi remains covered by a steel gate, but you can view the cave mouth across a wetland that was created to capture the spring water that still flows from deep within the cave.
Nearly a mile of walking and biking paths take visitors through areas of increasingly vibrant habitat. Volunteers and interns from the Community Design Center of Minnesota's East Side Youth Conservation Corps, many children of Hmong immigrant families, have planted nearly 2,000 trees on the land since the park's opening. Wetlands are being carefully restored and the sanctuary's prairies are now filled with colorful flowers.
While it has come a long way, the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary is still a work in progress. A vacant brick building at the entrance to the park on East Fourth Street and Commercial Street — one of the remaining signs of blight in the area — was purchased in July 2008 for future use as an interpretive center. Creating the center will require more acquisition and extensive soil clean-up, planning and fundraising. A direct pedestrian/bicycle trail connection to the Mississippi River is also on the 'to do" list for the park. With $1.2 million in federal money secured for the project, initial engineering and full cost analysis has begun.
The Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary is a place where Saint Paul's past, present and future combine. As you stand next to the wetland at Wakan Tipi and face the bluff, you can take a look back in time to the powerful geologic forces that carved this valley. If you turn around, you can see the downtown Saint Paul skyline. Looking beyond, at the Mississippi River corridor, you can take in the view of the majestic river that explains why this area has been important to people and cultures for thousands of years.
Visiting the Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary
From the Lowertown district of downtown Saint Paul, begin at the corner of East Fifth Street and Broadway (across the street from the northeast edge of the Saint Paul Farmers' Market.) Head east on Fifth Street then turn right on John Street and left on East Fourth Street to the sanctuary. You can drive this route — or bike or walk along the beautiful new Bruce Vento Regional Trail extension, an off road trail along Fourth Street.
If you are coming from the west, take the Mounds Boulevard exit off of Interstate 94, turn right, crossing Kellogg/East Third Street. Stay right, and take a sharp right turn on Commercial Street then go down the hill to the first intersection (Fourth Street).
From the east, take the Mounds Boulevard exit off I-94 and turn left before making a quick right turn on Commercial Street and following the directions above.
An off-road bicycle/pedestrian trail along Commercial Street provides great bicycle access from the trail network along Mounds Bluff.

January 2011
Conservation Reserve Program, General Sign-Up 41, March 14-April 15, 2011
USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) will hold a Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general sign-up from March 14 through April 15, 2011.
CRP is a voluntary program that helps agricultural producers use environmentally sensitive land for conservation benefits. Producers enrolled in CRP plant long-term, resource-conserving covers to control soil erosion, improve water and air quality and develop wildlife habitat. In return, FSA provides participants with rental payments and cost-share assistance. Contract duration is between 10 to 15 years. Accepted contracts for sign-up 41will begin on Oct. 1, 2011.
FSA administers CRP, while other USDA agencies and partners provide technical support. More detailed information on CRP is available in the FSA fact sheet "Conservation Reserve Program."
Submitting CRP Offers
Land that is not currently enrolled in CRP may be offered for enrollment during CRP sign-up 41. In addition, CRP participants with contracts expiring on Sept. 30, 2011, may submit offers.
To submit CRP offers, producers must visit their local FSA office. FSA will accept offers only during the sign-up period (March 14 through April 15, 2011). To find your local FSA office, visit the USDA's website at
Eligible Producers
To be eligible for CRP enrollment, a producer must have owned or operated the land for at least 12 months prior to the end of the CRP sign-up period, unless:
new owner acquired the land due to the previous owner's death;
ownership change occurred due to foreclosure where the owner exercised a timely right of redemption in accordance with state law or;
circumstance of the acquisition present adequate assurance to FSA that the new owner did not acquire the land for the purpose of placing it in CRP.
Eligible Land
To be eligible for placement in general sign-up CRP, land must be cropland (including field margins) that is planted or considered planted to an agricultural commodity four of the six crop years from 2002 to 2007, and be physically and legally capable of being planted (no planting restrictions due to an easement or other legally binding instrument) in a normal manner to an agricultural commodity. Alfalfa or other multiyear grasses and legumes grown in a rotation not to exceed 12 years may be eligible for this year.
Additional Cropland Requirements
In addition to the eligible land requirements, for general sign-up, cropland must meet one of the following criteria:
a weighted average erosion index of eight or higher;
expiring CRP acreage or;
located in a national or state CRP conservation priority area.
CRP Payments
FSA provides CRP sign-up 41 participants with annual rental payments, including certain incentive payments and cost-share assistance:
In return for establishing long-term, resource conserving covers, FSA provides rental payments to participants. FSA bases rental rates on the relative productivity of the soils within each county and the average dryland cash rent or cash-rent equivalent. County office staff working with the producer will calculate the maximum CRP rental rate for each offer prior to enrollment. Producers may offer land below the rate to increase the likelihood that FSA will accept their offer.
FSA provides cost-share assistance to participants who establish approved cover on eligible cropland. The cost-share assistance cannot exceed 50 percent of the participant's costs to establish approved practices.
Ranking CRP Offers
FSA will rank offers for CRP sign-up 41 according to the Environmental Benefits Index (EBI). FSA collects data (primarily based on location, soils information and selected conservation practice) and determines the environmental indices for the land offered.
FSA ranks each eligible offer in comparison to all other offers and selects from that ranking. After the sign-up ends, the Secretary will decide where to make the EBI cutoff. Those who have met previous sign-up EBI thresholds are not guaranteed a contract under this sign-up. Producers may consult with local FSA and NRCS staff on how to maximize EBI points and increase the likelihood that their offer will be accepted.
More information on EBI for CRP sign-up 41 is available by reading the FSA fact sheet, "Conservation Reserve Program Sign-up 41, Environmental Benefits Index."
CRP Continuous Sign-up
In addition to CRP sign-up 41, producers at any time can participate in CRP continuous sign-up, in which producers can enroll the most environmentally sensitive land.
More information on CRP continuous sign-up is available in the FSA fact sheet "Conservation Reserve Program Continuous Sign-up."

'What it's taken to keep this country great'
FLORENCE, Ore. - At the Florence airport, a hangar full of military artifacts and memorabilia has served as an unoffical museum.
"Certainly we're an aging retirement community," said Cal Appleee with the Oregon Coast Military Heritage Museum, "so we began wondering what was going to happen to all the artifacts, all the stories, all the heritage as those veterans passed away."
Organizers assembled the collection on hand today, from military weapons to war-time posters and vehicles.
The collection will be displayed in the Oregon Coast Military Heritage Museum.
"We have been at events with some of our displays some of our military vehicles, and have absolutely been amazed at the lack of knowledge and understanding by our younger people today about our american heritage and our military heritage.")[Duration:0'14"]
Through the museum, they plan to share the history and experiences of veterans with the younger generation.
"That way the kids will know and understand the sacrifices that have been made by our veterans in the past," said Sam Spayd, another member of the Oregon Coast Military Heritage Museum team, "and what it took and what it's taken to keep this country great."

Abilene Public Library wins award
The Abilene Public Library's Books on Wheels initiative was one of many programs that helped it earn the 2012 Achievement of Excellence in Libraries award, said Janis Test, APL information services manager.
Of 561 public libraries in the state, APL was one of 30 chosen last month for the award, given by the Texas Municipal Library Directors Association.
The association, a Texas Municipal League affiliate, promotes public libraries and improvement efforts in library service. This was the first time the APL received the award, Test said.
"(Books on Wheels) is a fun program. It certainly meets a need for folks who can't get out and come to the library on their own," Test said.
The Books on Wheels program offers home delivery service to local Meals on Wheels clientele, or those who are homebound, Test said. Those clients fill out surveys of what library materials — books, DVDs, CDs or audiocassettes — they would like delivered to their home.
Test said the program has 142 patrons.
"I think that (the award) was a good combination of all our programs," Test said. "We do an awful lot of programming in all areas here at the library."

Blackfoot graduate J.C. Percy joined some elite company with his 17 tackles Saturday afternoon in a 28-26 Las Vegas Bowl win over Washington.
The senior Boise State linebacker had already reached triple-digit tackles, the first BSU defender to do so since Korey Hall in 2006.
Hall went on to play for the Green Bay Packers, caught Aaron Rogers' first touchdown pass as a starter, and picked up a Super Bowl XLV ring.
Percy's 17 tackles ranks second in Las Vegas Bowl history, trailing only USC graduate Troy Polamalu who had 20 tackles in a 2001 loss to Utah.
Polamalu went on to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers and make millions sponsoring various hair care products.
Percy tasted bowl victory in each of his four seasons, earning All Mountain West Conference First Team honors in 2012 for the 11-2 Broncos.
Men's basketball
The Westminster Griffins got eight points from West Jefferson graduate Blake Skidmore during an 89-49 win Tuesday over California-Merced.
Also for Westminster, on Tuesday, Blackfoot graduate Jordan
Bjornberg had four points and two steals for the 10-1 Griffins.
Women's basketball
Sugar-Salem graduate Sofia Hepworth had eight points and two assists for Southern Utah in a 60-54 road win over North Dakota in both schools' Big Sky Conference opener.
The T-birds are now 6-4 overall and 1-0 in conference play.
Big Bend guard and Madison graduate McKell Marlor had five steals, four points and four rebounds Dec. 17 during a 94-32 win over Northwest Indian College.
Also at BBCC, Sugar-Salem graduate McKall Miller had six points and two rebounds, and Teton grad Emily Thompson pitched in four points and four rebounds. Big Bend is now 9-1.

Starting point of J2EE for a newbie
After doing some work on J2SE and J2ME I have decided to learn J2EE. I started JSP 2-3 days ago. But now after going through various forums stating that JSP is thing of past and JSF is the way to go, I am confused whether to start JSF or first learn JSP then move on to JSF as JSF1.1 was based on JSP. Please advice. Also throw a little light on struts and suggest if I need to focus on some other framework than JSF or JSP?
BTW: Sorry if I have posted in the wrong subforum.

What you will need:
LibDVDCSS (Optional, but quite useful.) For this PET, the current version is libdvdcss-1.2.6
Xine-Lib and some Xine front-end. I used Xine-UI because it worked right-away. For this PET, the current versions are xine-lib-1-beta12 and xine-ui-0.9.21
Installing LibDVDCSS
Download and extract the tarball. Change directory to the folder you just extracted, and Configure it.
./configure --prefix=/usr
Then compile it by typing make, and install it as root
Installing Xine LibrariesCode:su -c "make install".
1.Download and extract the tarball. Change directory to the folder you just extracted, and Configure it with

Installing Xine-UICode:su -c ldconfig
1. Unpack your frontend , then run
Check access to your DVD playerCode:./configure and make install.
1. Check to see if /dev/dvd exists. If it does not, make a symbolic link to it from your dcd player
(assuming your dvd player is on /dev/hdc.) Next, make sure your user account can access both /dev/hdc and /dev/dvd. ls -la will list all the permissions.Code:su -c "ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd"
2. If your user account does not have permissions, there are two ways to deal with it:
quick and dirty
slow and efficientCode:su -c "chmod 755 /dev/hdc /dev/dvd"
- Make a group called media. su -c "groupadd media"
- Make sure your optical devices belong to that group. su -c "chgrp media /dev/hdc /dev/dvd"
- Then make sure the owner and the group can read and write those devices, and no-one else. su -c "chmod 660 /dev/hdc /dev/dvd"
- Add your user account to the media group. su -c "adduser yourusername media"
You should be all set now. From the command line, type xine-check, This should check your configuration. If you don't get any errors, you should be good to go.

To griddle
Don't oil the pan. Put in 1 or 2 breads, side by side. After 3 or 4 mins, when the dough firms, turn and cook for 2 mins.
- If making the paste, use a food processor, electric spice mill or pestle and mortar to blend together the garlic, chilli, sesame seeds and ground spice to a thick paste. Work in the oil, then the coriander, to a spreading paste and season. Set aside.
- Put the flours, 1 tsp salt and yeast into a large bowl and mix. Stir 120ml tepid water into the melted butter, then mix this into the flour, adding extra drops of tepid water until you have a smooth dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 mins, then return to the bowl, cover and leave in a warm place to rise until doubled in size. This should take 1 hr.
- Divide the dough into 8 balls. Roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface to a rough 18cm circle the thickness of a 10p coin. Prick each one well with a fork to stop them rising. To cook on a barbecue: put the breads on the centre of the grill. Cook for a few mins, then turn and cook the other side. If using the paste, spread 1 tsp on one side as the breads come off the heat. Otherwise, brush the breads with more melted butter. Reheat the griddle between batches and stack them on top of each other to keep warm.

Comments, questions and tips
Excilent flat bread recipy (lord knows i have tried my fair share), I made two batches one with and one without yeast, personally i prefer the yeast veriety on flavour. Loved the spice paste and I am thinking of tring the flatbreads out with a slightly sweet almound and cashew base for that Kashmiri naan afect.
I've been looking for a good flatbread recipe that uses wholemeal flour and was hoping to try this one. However, pretty much all other recipes I've seen don't call for yeast. Just curious as to why it's used in this one since a few people have commented that they didn't use it and it worked just fine. And the recipe calls for the breads to be pricked before cooking to 'stop them from rising'. Any ideas?

|My Bio
|I was born in Poland in 1985. When I was ten I received her first camera – a Zenit E – from my father and started my experiments with photography. In 2005 I left the country in search of a better life and settled in Cardiff, UK. The main fields of photography I am interested in are documentary, landscape and urbex. My inspirations are the works of Roger Tiley, John Davies and John Cornwell. The topics I touches upon in my works are the history of South Wales, human memories and protection of the environment. I took part in a number of group exhibitions organised by e.g. The Big Fuss, Peaceful Progress, Milkwood Gallery and Ffotogallery. I am currently preparing for a couple of solo exhibitions which will take place in Autumn.
