New head for Epping St John'sPosted: 24th June 2019
Our growing and improving school is being taken on its journey to "exceptional" by a new leader.
Mike Yerosimou takes on the role of head of school at Epping St John's Church of England School from September.
Having joined the school in 2006 as a cover supervisor and worked his way through "every job in school", he is now preparing to take the reins.
He said: "I know this school. I know where we are strong and where we need to improve. I also know how good our staff are. I know the area and our families and they know me.
"This is a lovely school; it's a diamond that simply needs shining."
Epping St John's joined the BMAT family in 2017 when changes were brought in to raise aspirations and improve results, including the introduction of aspirations sessions and relaunch of the sixth form.
From September, the new head said the priority will be teaching and learning and ensuring young people are inspired to be ambitious.
Mr Yerosimou said: "The key is having great teachers in front of children; that is it. We have made sure we are fully staffed from September with great staff.
"We want to be at the heart of the community and so are developing links to ensure that happens. We are the only secondary school in Epping, so we need to be involved in everything. The more we do that, the more pride people will have in the school.
"We know we are not there yet. We want to be open and honest. If there is an issue, we will say we are trying our best to fix it. We will always meet people. Sometimes, the most difficult conversations are the most important.
"We have all the attributes to be an exceptional educational establishment."
Stephen Hehir, executive headteacher, said: "The appointment of a head of school is a vital one in that it will ensure we have sustainable improvement in the years ahead. Students, parents and carers will have a figurehead every day who will ensure our focus on high expectations, community and our Church of England ethos is relentless and we reach the exceptional.
"Mr Yerosimou has the exact qualities needed to ensure Epping St John's reaches those goals."
Interviews have also taken place to boost the leadership team further with the appointment of a deputy headteacher.

Why Agency Kickbacks are a No-No
For the record: the only way modeling agencies are able to make money legally is by taking a commission out of each gig they book for their models. This is why I repeatedly state why it is important that you avoid agencies that require any type of upfront payment before offering you a contract. However, this has not stopped some agencies (even the legitimate ones for the most part), from doing stuff under the table or in a way that won't get them in trouble. Agency kickbacks are one of them.
Here's how a typical kickback works:
Step 1: The agency signs a new model with no upfront fees or other funny stuff. Harmless enough.
Step 2: They tell the model that she/he must organize photo-shoots in order to build their portfolio. The agency will give the model a list of recommended photographers that they encourage the model to work with.
Step 3: The model works with one of the agency's recommended photographers and pays for the cost of the shoot, makeup artist, stylist, comp card printing, etc.
Step 4: The photographer gives a percentage of their cut to the agency.
Step 4 is the "kickback" part and is a big no-no. The agency should not be receiving any money when it comes to the portfolio stage–the only time they should see profit is once they book their model work and are able to charge their agency fee/commission. Some agencies have done kickbacks under the table as a way to generate additional income but this is not a good business practice. Does it stop agencies from doing it? No.
Those within the industry usually know which agencies do these kickbacks, although it is difficult to find out for yourself. Even if you asked the agency and/or the photographer whether they deal with kickbacks, what's to stop them from lying to you? The point of this post is not to figure out how to track down the truth–that's a huge challenge that I wouldn't even know where to begin talking about. I simply want you to be aware of the fact that when it comes to paying for your portfolio shoot when signing with an agency, it's okay if you pay as long as the agency isn't getting a cut from it. When you sign with an agency, find out all your options for choosing photographers. The agency should not force you to use one of the photographers they recommend. They should be open to allowing you to choose who you want and deciding whether to accept the images that you get as a result.

|A Mirror into Ken's Past -- 1987
Skip straight to the Photos ...
At this point I had a job and I was living in an apartment with Donna. Things were a bit stressy between us as I was still not all that happy. On the other hand I got a credit card (I had already had some, and kept the balances down or at zero most of the time, but this was a MasterCard, as opposed to Sears or American Express ...). I bought a VCR so I could rent videos and tape shows. (I've become a bit of a "videophile" over the years ...)
Donna was still trying to make things work. I have to give her a ton of credit here as I was not making it easy. We had one spat at an SCA event (can't remember which one) where I was not helping, and she broke down and told me that if I was really that unhappy she'd do what she had to do to get me back to Alaska. I'm not sure why, but I didn't take her up on that offer. (20-20 hindsight time -- I am glad in retrospect that I didn't take her up on the offer, I believe now that you can never truly "go home" again -- it's never the same. After many visits back to Alaska, it would take a bit of work if I ever moved there to fit in again. Things change, people change, it's never the same again.)
She threw a birthday party for me that was quite nice. It was my 30th birthday. It wasn't a heavily attended party because I didn't know that many people, and there was some big SCA event (a war or something) happening that weekend, and a lot of folk went to that. But all of that aside ... Gerald (SCA: Gerald of Ipsley) and his boyfriend (yes, they are gay) came, and Robert (SCA: Robert of Coldcastle -- the boyfriend) who didn't know me at all (Gerald had met me at events) had done up a HUGE birthday card. Robert's a commercial artist, and is pretty good. I have it framed and it's usually hanging on one of the walls wherever we end up. There were a few others there, but I honestly can't remember who. It was a nice little party though. We watched some videos, chatted, ate cake, the usual thing.
Financial nasty: When I had filed my income taxes that year I went through some paperwork for the previous two years and found I had NOT filed the taxes that I had all sealed in an envelope (stamped and ready to mail!) from two years earlier. Being a good American citizen I sent that in with that year's paperwork. The IRS in March or so put a lein on my checking account with no warning (the first I heard of it was when a check bounced)! I owed them over a thousand dollars!
Frederick came to my rescue by loaning me the money I needed. We were careful and laid out a contract with a payment schedule -- he'd had problems with friends in the past, or had seen it, or something. That was fine. I was able to pay the IRS off. I tell you ... never get in trouble with those folks!
I got laid off at JALCO in April. I wasn't real amused by that as I was doing more work than my manager. I was unemployed again and Donna was carrying the rent and such. However, I had sent my resume out to a lot of places before I got the job at JALCO and one of them finally came through.
The Computer Learning Center in San Francisco needed a PC instructor. That was RIGHT up my alley! Even better -- it was only a little over a half day, and I got paid as a full-time employee, benefits, the works. This job was one that I loved. I taught a three week class for the students at the school -- all of whom were training to be either computer programmers or operators for mainframes. It was felt that having a working knowledge of PCs was a good thing (I agreed). I worked from 7am until 1 or so. I usually had the rest of the day to myself, unless the afternoon instructor wasn't able to teach (rare, but it did occur). Of course, this doesn't take into account the time spent on class preparation, grading people's work, and so on, which is why the day was shorter than an eight hour day, but I got paid for eight ...
I only had to take a bus to BART, and walk a couple blocks in San Francisco to get to work. None of this multi-bus stuff ...
I think the stress between Donna and I just wasn't going away. This again was largely my fault ...
I visited Alaska in July for Summer Coronet. It was great to see people again, but I honestly believe that I discovered "you can't go home again". Everyone made me welcome, but I didn't really feel I was home. It was an odd feeling actually. I mean, flying in to Anchorage my heart leapt into my throat -- not because of the flight (I enjoy flying), but because part of me wanted it to be home. But talking to people, hanging out with people, things had changed. Despite that, it was a good trip, and I did enjoy myself, but it was a bit sad to find that things had changed so much in such a short time.
Coming back the airline did something I doubt I will ever forgive them for. I had the same guitar that I'd bought in high school. It was a really good guitar (especially for the price). Not only did they break it (with a decent case), they destroyed the gearbox. You cannot just replace the gearbox on a guitar. I was crushed. I actually cried ... (Krys Wagner, Eric's wife, can attest to that -- she picked me up at the airport). Having had the guitar for 13 years, and to have it destroyed like that was really painful, especially considering how much it meant to me. I never took a guitar on the airlines again after that.
Summer came and went. That summer Steve made Kathy Queen again. I made another set of cyphers for her (these turned out better, but I never got photos of them).
Phil (Phillip Harlech of Exeter in the SCA) loaned me a guitar that he had. That was great as it meant I had one I could use at events! He let me borrow that guitar for a year ... I never found a great way to thank him for that.
In early September Donna found an apartment in San Francisco, and with very little notice moved out. This was hard because I had to move out, not being able to re-up the rental agreement, and frankly, not really wanting to.
After a month I packed my stuff up (with help from someone with a vehicle -- might have been Jeff Boylan, I'm really not sure at this point) and put most of it into a storage unit until I could find an apartment. Lee Forgue let me move into her place - I stayed on the living room sofa. Her daughter Danielle and son Christopher both were living at home at the time. (Dani was 17 or so, and Chris was ... I dunno, 13, 14?) Looking at my diary to get the dates straight, I moved to Lee's late in October. I was only there a week or so before I got an apartment (see below).
I was getting rides to events with different people ... sometimes with Keith (Cynan) and his lady (Enid), sometimes with Kevin (Harold in the SCA), and the other times with Jeff Boylan (Seamus).
The SCA event "October Crown" happened. It was literally a "Hell" event (it's sometimes referred to as "Hell Crown") -- it was held in King City in a place with a single tree that was 1/4 mile or more from where the main camp was. It was in the very high temperatures (close to 100) in the shade! The good thing that happened (or at least mostly) was that I met Dawn Davidson (in the SCA: Eveline of Shoreham). We met at the bardic circle and one thing led to another, and I didn't sleep in my own tent that night.
I started dating Dawn which got sort of complicated ... she was engaged to someone that she wasn't comfortable with, she was interested in some other guy that she couldn't have at the time. Confused? I was, and I was in the middle of it. Felt a bit soap-opera-ish.
A few weeks later one of my students was the caretaker at an apartment complex in Berkeley, and somehow I had let slip that I was looking for a place to stay. An apartment had opened up in his building and he asked if I was interested. I gave an emphatic "Yes". I had a date that evening with Dawn, and when I went to Dawn's apartment, I met up with Franklin (the student/caretaker ...). AT THE SAME COMPLEX. Dawn lived on the third floor, the apartment that was available was on the first. What a weird coincidence.
I was able to move from Lee's house to the apartment. A bunch of folk helped, heralds mostly. After the previous apartment, this place was a luxury! It had two bedrooms, one main bathroom and the main bedroom had a half-bath (shower ...). I was in heaven! The kitchen wasn't huge, but that's ok -- I'm not much of a cook. Best of all: no cockroaches, and I made sure I didn't bring any with me! I was able to get cable in there, so that was nice, too. The place was in walking distance of BART, of a good grocery store, several other really good stores, a great bakery, a great hamburger joint, and more. And finally, it was in rent-control Berkeley! They couldn't raise the rent on me.
Dawn and I had copies of keys made so she had a key to my place and vice-versa. We still had (and would for some time) an odd relationship ... basically this was a situation where I could see her when she wasn't seeing someone else, and I wasn't seeing someone else ... I would rather not do that kind of relationship again -- it was way too rocky and weird for me.
On a little side note, I read (still do) a lot of science fiction and fantasy, watch a lot of movies of that genre, etc. I'm not as "geeked out" as some folk, but it is something I enjoy. I had been buying from a variety of places a bunch of patches (the patches from the uniforms from 2010, that kind of thing). I bought a green blazer and sewed all of these patches on the jacket, put other SF related pins and stuff all over it. I had it for years. This jacket was a trademark thing for me for a long time. It died a few years ago (it was starting to fall apart) so I removed the patches and threw it away, and haven't tried to resurrect it. I still have the patches and pins in a 'safe place'. I do wear some of the pins on other coats or vests or what have you, but the patches are all "put away".
I was going to the weekly SCA fighter practice at the Rockridge BART station on Thursday nights, which was the big social night. There was fighting practice, but a lot of SCA business got done at those practices as well as a lot of schmoozing. I met Carolyn Eaton (SCA name is Aldith Angharad St. George) and her roommate Kay Boatwright (SCA name is Kathrine of Bristol) somewhere in all this. I am pretty sure this is where I met Jeff (Seamus). Keith (Cynan) was usually my ride to BART, even though he lived in San Franciso. I think Keith just liked hanging out with folk, so he did this trip weekly.
One of the folk in the SCA, Michael (commonly known as Michael the Lemon-Freshened), had written an "opera" -- Echo and Narcisuss. I was asked to direct it. This was one of the weirdest experiences I've ever had in the theatre. The music was surreal. The songs were odd. And frankly, I really wasn't really allowed to direct. It was Michael's show, starring Michael. Dawn and a bunch of other people were in it, but this was about Michael. I tried to direct, and everything I did was shot down by Michael. I gave up, and ended up posting notes (that people actually used) to help out. I still have the script and score as well as some rehearsal tapes (the music on piano) somewhere.
The performance of Echo was truly astounding (and I say that with tongue planted firmly in cheek). I think that the audience stayed to be polite. I remember that most of the audience were SCA folk, including Kay and Carolyn. I also remember that when it was over most of them walked out with a glazed look on their eyes.
Reading through my diary (well, skimming, some of it is just too weird to really read), there was a TON of angst over Dawn. Dawn was having a really hard time because I wanted more than she could give me, but she didn't just want me to go away. She was trying to break things off with Randy, she was trying to have a relationship with Mark. There I was trying to have a relationship with her. Mark was toying with her ... (I did mention earlier that this was very soap-opera-like, right?)
Aunt Priscilla and Uncle Hollis were living in San Jose still. I think their son Rob was living with them. Their daughter Lucinda had married and they were living in San Jose in their own place.
They invited me down for Christmas. Well, what the heck? Dawn was going to Georgia for Christmas to see her family, so I didn't have anywhere else to go. I hopped on BART on Christmas day and went down to the end of the line (Fremont) and was picked up by Uncle Hollis. Now keep in mind I hadn't seen these folk for MANY years -- my diary says 15 or 16, it may have been longer -- it was before my family moved to Alaska. It was a bit uncomfortable. We had a pleasant day, although it was a bit weird, because I didn't have all that much in common with them ... but it was nice.
My diary notes that I destroyed a medallion I was making the day after Christmas. Too much heat, melted it a bit .. duh. I spent most of that time (it was a break from work, as the school was taking a break) working on medallions for people in the SCA. I saw Dawn a bit after she came back from Georgia, but my diary notes that I was starting to realize that things weren't going to work out long-term with Dawn. (While I was "starting to realize" this, it took awhile for it to really sink in.)
Regarding the jewelry stuff, a weird little story pops back into my head: In order to clean something after soldering, I used a trick of working with nitric acid -- I would drop a piece in the acid (diluted with water), and let it clean all the carbonization off. (You had to be careful of course, I lost a piece in College -- I got sidetracked and forgot about it just long enough that when I came back there wasn't much left ...) Then I could sit down and buff away and polish the piece up really well. A friend who was studying geology in Davis at the time got hold of a gallon jug of once-used mostly pure nitric acid and gave it to me to use on the jewelry. For some obscure reason I wasn't keeping the acid itself out on the patio of the apartment where I worked on soldering and such. I was carrying the jug one day across the apartment from the kitchen and dropped it. The plastic lid came off, and a bunch of this nearly-pure nitric hit the carpet, a bit landed on me, and some on my furniture (not much). I ran to the bathroom and got out of the jeans and rinsed them fast (they had nice white spots on them until they died) and rinsed the acid off my arm in the one small spot it landed on there. Then I panicked -- I had no idea what to do about the stuff on the rug! It ate a huge hole in the carpet. I phoned Jeff who suggested I use laundry detergent on it which is base enough to counteract the acid ... It was a bit weird. When I moved they were going to replace the carpet anyway, so I got my whole deposit back! This incident led to the joke that I "dropped acid in Berkeley, but didn't get a buzz ...".
Well, as you might be able to see from all this, it was a rather tumultuous year. Lots of folk came and went in my life here. When Donna and I split up I really wasn't a part of her circle of friends (Steve, Kathy, Toni, etc.), so while I remained friendly with them, I wasn't real close. That was "her group of friends" and it was easier to not try to be part of it at the time. I've gotten to know some of them better since then, but at the time, well, I was under a lot of (self-induced) stress.
Donna Green -- I have noted several times that the stress in our relationship was mostly because I wasn't handling things well. I want to note here that Donna and I worked out all of that a couple of years after we broke up. I had a talk with her, and told her that I realized what a shithead I'd been, and apologized. I didn't ask for forgiveness, but she forgave me anyway. We've been pretty good friends ever since. She later met Andrew Tye, and married him. I am very happy for both of them and wish them the best. My wife (Carolyn) and I get along great with them, and have had them over to dinner, gone to dinner at their place, and hang out in the SCA with them sometimes.
Jeff Boylan -- over the years I've found that there's usually one person I can call my "best friend", although there have been periods where there was no one in that "position" (for lack of a better term). For awhile Jeff was "it". Jeff's SCA name is Seamus Padraig O�Baiogheallain m�-N�rach. He and I have similar senses of humor and similar tastes in a lot of things. He was my ride to a lot of SCA events.
Lee Forgue -- Eilis -- stayed at her house for awhile, generally she was pretty helpful in here throughout some of my crises.
Dawn Davidson -- well, there's enough description above, no real need to go into it again here.
Cynan and Enid -- I lump them together because for this part of the time that I knew them, they were together. Cynan is a fairly large guy, fairly well-read, but no real direction in his life. He has the potential to do more, but just doesn't. He and Enid lived together in an apartment in San Francisco, a very small place that was cramped (I only was there once that I can remember). They had a minivan, and were happy to take me to events before Jeff started doing it. My getting to events with "who" was largely a case of who was available. Sometimes Jeff didn't want to go (or couldn't) to an event, and vice versa. Sometime after this (and I don't recall exactly when) they broke up. I think that was great for her, because she got a better job, got a better life going. Cynan is still around and still not going anywhere. Pity, that.

CIMECO, the designer and builder of Margaret River's Woolworths shopping complex, has apologised for breaching construction permit conditions and annoying residents with after-hours lights and noise on Friday, August 10.
Augusta-Margaret River Shire Council received four complaints after the second major concrete pour on site ran five hours over a 7pm curfew.
Council environmental health staff are investigating the complaints and whether Cimeco may have exceeded permissible noise levels.
Acting manager in environmental health, Paul Hudson, said the council had asked the Department of Environment and Conservation's noise branch and local police to help with the investigation.
"It has not yet been confirmed if the assigned noise levels were exceeded (that) Friday evening as noise monitoring was not being undertaken on that particular night. In addition, no shire noise authorised officers or police directly observed the noise … in order to make a subjective assessment of the reasonableness of the noise being emitted," Mr Hudson said.
"However, due to the number and consistence of the complaints, the shire believes there is reasonable likelihood that the acceptable noise levels were exceeded and the light overspill may have been of additional nuisance value to surrounding residents."
He said council officers had contacted Cimeco about the complaints and scheduled a meeting with company executives and site supervisor Murray Morgan.
"After this meeting it will be decided if there is reasonable likelihood that the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 was breached and, if so, consider if enforcement action is appropriate," Mr Hudson said.
"The management of noisy activities and compliance with the (noise regulations) for the rest of the build will also be discussed at the meeting.
"If the construction company wishes to do noisy construction work out of hours in the future they are required to submit a noise management plan to the satisfaction of the Shire chief executive officer."
Cimeco has a permit allowing construction work 7am-7pm Monday-Saturday.
Mr Hudson said if it wanted to work outside those hours it needed to submit a noise management plan, at least seven days before work starts, which details why work has to be done out of hours, types of activity which could be noisy, noise level predictions, noise and vibration control measures and monitoring, and complaint response.
It also has to advise surrounding residents at least 24 hours before, he said.
Glenys Buchholz of Vintages Accommodation, just up Willmott Ave from the construction site, was one of the people who complained to council.
"They (Cimeco) showed a total disrespect for other people in the area. They had floodlighting and generators running until midnight," Mrs Buchholz said.
"They didn't warn anyone they were going to do that and they didn't apply for a permit like they should have.
"We were full and we had people asking us when the noise was going to stop."
Mrs Buchholz said she tried to phone Mr Morgan but was unable to get through initially.
"When he did answer, he just said 'the job had to be done'," she said.
Cimeco's Bunbury branch manager Warren Sizer said he had already apologised to Mrs Buchholz and was "deeply apologetic" to anyone else affected by the noise or lights.
He said batching of concrete for the pour was "a little slower than we would have liked" and a cold evening temperature slowed the concrete setting.
"We have a permit that allows us to work 7-7 six days and that's what we intend doing in future," Mr Sizer said.
He said after some early problems with ground works at the site, construction was now expected to remain on track.
The shopping complex is due to be completed by Easter next year, he said.

The most appropriate course of action ought to be to select the very best college among the ones you're becoming, where you think you would be associated with inspiring and competitive peers.

Freshers become very anxious whilst facing their own first interview. Thus, job seekers have to learn how to sell their abilities and credentials with the assistance of their principal marketing and advertising document. Together with losing your work, it may get you blacklisted and ruin your reputation in the neighborhood job market. It isn't important whether the candidate is not a full-stack developer, so long as she shows a willingness to learn and gets the perfect attitude. The fastest way to display candidates would be to conduct telephonic interviews where it's likely to ask them for further particulars about their experience and techniques. In-house and agency interviews may vary due to the essence of the job in every function. Even once you have only a few of summer internships to talk or a couple of decades, then that is perfectly okay.
You will always take advantage of this job advertisement whilst preparing the cover letter for a certain position. Otherwise, there's no need. For the rise of the business, there's a need of resume processing system. If you're a newcomer to restart writing, don't forget to try them out. Then you make your very best guess. 1 reason employers like to find hobbies on a resume is to find a sense of your character and also to check whether you're a superior fit for the position. Its also a excellent idea to get three or more people look it over, such as a minumum of a single individual that does not have any idea what you really do.
If you don't get admitted, discover just another occupation. A Cover Letter case for individuals that are seeking work . For example, a desk job will ask you to devote a good deal of time seated before a computer. It isn't necessary to list every job you've held previously, especially if it is not related to the present position or industry you're targeting. Perhaps you're trying to find a summer job or internship, or perhaps a school or scholarship application requires one to integrate a resume.
Despite being just 17, you can want to think of a resume for a variety of explanations. Together the appropriate side, you will understand a listing of recently opened databases. Many people believe they will need to upgrade their resume once during work search and submit that same resume to every one of the jobs they are applying for. By means of example, add a hyphen or plus sign in the start of each one of those tasks on your background, so the info is not all lumped together. To start your resume, organize the info you must include. Access also has templates which make getting started as simple as possible. Microsoft Access is software that helps you to create and handle databases.
The processing system permits the extraction of these resumes in various type of formats and retains it in the normal format that is necessary. Save the last around for basic housekeeping questions you might have about the interview procedure. Since you can not integrate the full procedure, you will need to summarize it to be used on your resume. A standard operating procedure is a proven process which can be followed on a normal basis in order to create a particular result for a business or organization. Ensure that the design of the standard operating procedure contained on your resume is well organized and simple to follow along with. 1 approach to ease the job search procedure is to develop a work description template in a word processing application. Bear in mind that there are quite a few other candidates making a program and writing their resumes to standout from several other candidates.
Both documents allow you to present yourself and explain the reasons you think you'd be an ideal fit to do the job. Be sure the cursor is blinking within the document. Lots of people assume that a cover letter is about you. Since you will notice, every cover letter will differ and require that you examine unique attributes and abilities.
Sometimes a chronological resume will be really expected be a specific worker. When there have not been any gaps in employment a chronological resume will flow smoothly and generate a great impression. More experienced individuals who might rather not advertise what a very long job history they have had. It's relatively easy to use, and therefore you don't require a great deal of personal computer experience. As an example, a marketing professional needs to be excellent in their own communication skills and very prompt in finding things out and upgrading the customers. The abilities a chronological resume might not be able highlight are at a position to be highlighted in a functional resume. It is possible to make a resume that highlights your soft abilities and also downplays your lack of specialized skills and expertise.
Some very important details for your own bio are ancient academic successes, especially if they are related to your current role. If you choose one style of writing over the following, be certain to communicate your style choices throughout the business and also make certain that everybody is following the specific same fashion guide. When it has to do with online-resume layout, simple and glossy is best. It is wise not to adopt any resume template and begin filling in the information.

Happy Wednesday Friends! . I am linking up with Shannon from over at Life after I "Dew". for So What Wednesday. Perfect for starting the new year!
So What…
- I am sitting here freezing even with the heat blasting. I really wish the US would warm up!!!
- Our house is over ran with Persian Cats right now. We just have not been able to let the kittens go...yet. Who knows.. we might just keep them all!
- To be very honest, the past few days.. life with husby has been exhausting. He has way to much energy than I do and he has just been getting on my nerves. 10 years in... he's bound to piss me off here and there. Hopefully today will be better.
- I need to be up working on a video but instead sitting here watching tv instead. Gotta find my motivation for the rest of the day. Come on energy!
- I lost something important to me and have no idea where in the hell it is. Scott even helped me look.. its just gone.. vanished.
- Jackson has a afternoon Dr. apt and totally happy that he is leaving school early tomorrow. At least we won't have to make the long drive back to our old town to pick up prescriptions anymore. But I have a TON of forms to fill out tonight before we go. Seriously...its like 20 papers to fill out. * Sigh
- Right now Willow is about to strike that glass door to fight with the cat outside. She screen fights.. fights through glass...will dash out if we happen to open the door to feed the homeless cats to basically smack them off her porch.
- Who knew Willow was such a bad ass. She was never that way but last summer she lost her entire litter of kittens and has never been the same.
- I have been in a pretty shitty mood for a week now. I am trying my hardest to be nice and upbeat even though I don't always feel it.
- I woke up late and didn't get dinner in the crockpot. Thankfully I have steaks thawed out and will just swap nights. I might prep things tonight so I can get up and throw it all in.
- I painted my nails a couple of days ago and the day after they were chipped so badly. Why is that?? I use a good base coat.. good polishes... good top coats and can't seem to keep my polish from chipping for 24 hours. Yea... so not worth it. Guess I should just stick to clear.
- I hate my neighbors. Right now there is a man hauling some food and water to the woods beside my house to feed his dog that he keeps in a pin. Plus that is the same neighbor who lets their cats run free and breed all over the neighborhood. Real pieces of shit if you ask me. Its freezing here and not fair to any of the outside animals that I feel required to feed.
- I really dislike my husbands ex wife. My stepson is such a sweetheart when he is with us during the summers. Hes always hugging and kissing on me.. telling me how much he loves me. Then when he is back with her, I never can talk to him. It pisses me off but I guess its just the way it is.
- The firewood guy has went mia so we have been buying very expensive wood from the stores. Love that. Maybe I should start to break down all the wood furniture I want to replace and toss it in there to burn. Bet husby would go furniture shopping then.:)
I hope you guys are having a great Wednesday. I am going to go make a video and I'll be back soon!

Iams Naturals Dog Food receives the Advisor's mid-tier rating of 3 stars.
The Iams Naturals product line includes 4 dry dog foods.
Each recipe below includes its related AAFCO nutrient profile when available on the product's official webpage: Growth, Maintenance, All Life Stages, Supplemental or Unspecified.
Important: Because many websites do not reliably specify which Growth or All Life Stages recipes are safe for large breed puppies, we do not include that data in this report. Be sure to check actual packaging for that information.

- Iams Healthy Naturals with Lamb and Rice Adult (3.5 stars) [M]
- Iams Sensitive Naturals Ocean Fish and Rice Adult (2.5 stars) [M]
Iams Healthy Naturals with Lamb and Rice was selected to represent the other products in the line for this review.
Iams Healthy Naturals with Lamb and Rice Adult
Dry Dog Food
Estimated Dry Matter Nutrient Content
Ingredients: Chicken, ground whole grain sorghum, ground whole grain barley, chicken meal, lamb, fish meal (source of fish oil), brewers rice, dried beet pulp, chicken flavor, dried egg product, potassium chloride, salt, carrots, tomatoes, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols, a source of vitamin E), choline chloride, spinach, peas, dl-methionine, minerals (ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, manganese sulfate, copper sulfate, manganous oxide, potassium iodide), monosodium phosphate, vitamins (ascorbic acid, vitamin A acetate, calcium pantothenate, biotin, thiamine mononitrate (source of vitamin B1), vitamin B12 supplement, niacin, riboflavin supplement (source of vitamin B2), inositol, pyridoxine hydrochloride (source of vitamin B6), vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid), dried apple pomace, calcium carbonate, vitamin E supplement, rosemary extract
Fiber (estimated dry matter content) = 4.4%
Red denotes controversial item
|Estimated Nutrient Content
|Guaranteed Analysis
|Dry Matter Basis
|Calorie Weighted Basis
The first ingredient in this dog food is chicken. Although it is a quality item, raw chicken contains up to 73% water. After cooking, most of that moisture is lost, reducing the meat content to just a fraction of its original weight.
After processing, this item would probably account for a smaller part of the total content of the finished product.
The second ingredient is sorghum. Sorghum (milo) is a starchy cereal grain with a nutrient profile similar to corn.
Since it is gluten-free and boasts a smoother blood sugar behavior than other grains, sorghum may be considered an acceptable non-meat ingredient.
The third ingredient is barley. Barley is a starchy carbohydrate supplying fiber and other healthy nutrients. However, aside from its energy content, this cereal grain is of only modest nutritional value to a dog.
The fourth ingredient is chicken meal. Chicken meal is considered a meat concentrate and contains nearly 300% more protein than fresh chicken.
The fifth ingredient is lamb, another quality, raw item inclusive of moisture.
The sixth ingredient is fish meal, another protein-rich meat concentrate.
Fish meal is typically obtained from the "clean, dried, ground tissue of undecomposed whole fish and fish cuttings" of commercial fish operations.1
Unfortunately, this particular item is anonymous. Because various fish contain different types of fats, we would have preferred to have known the source species.
The seventh ingredient includes brewers rice. Brewers rice is a cereal grain by-product consisting of the small fragments left over after milling whole rice. Aside from the caloric energy it contains, this item is of only modest nutritional value to a dog.
The eighth ingredient is beet pulp. Beet pulp is a controversial ingredient, a high fiber by-product of sugar beet processing.
Some denounce beet pulp as an inexpensive filler while others cite its outstanding intestinal health and blood sugar benefits.
We only call your attention here to the controversy and believe the inclusion of beet pulp in reasonable amounts in most dog foods is entirely acceptable.
From here, the list goes on to include a number of other items.
But to be realistic, ingredients located this far down the list (other than nutritional supplements) are not likely to affect the overall rating of this product.
With four notable exceptions…
First, we find peas. Peas are a quality source of carbohydrates. And like all legumes, they're rich in natural fiber.
However, peas contain about 25% protein, a factor that must be considered when judging the meat content of this dog food.
Next, apple pomace includes the pulpy solids that remain after pressing apples to extract the juice. It is most likely used here for its fiber content.
In addition, we find no mention of probiotics, friendly bacteria applied to the surface of the kibble after processing to help with digestion.
And lastly, the minerals listed here do not appear to be chelated. And that can make them more difficult to absorb. Non-chelated minerals are usually associated with lower quality dog foods.
Iams Naturals Dog Food Review
Judging by its ingredients alone, Iams Naturals Dog Food looks like an above-average dry product.
But ingredient quality by itself cannot tell the whole story. We still need to estimate the product's meat content before determining a final rating.
The dashboard displays a dry matter protein reading of 24%, a fat level of 13% and estimated carbohydrates of about 54%.
As a group, the brand features an average protein content of 25% and a mean fat level of 14%. Together, these figures suggest a carbohydrate content of 53% for the overall product line.
And a fat-to-protein ratio of about 54%.
Below-average protein. Below-average fat. And above-average carbs when compared to a typical dry dog food.
Even when you consider the protein-boosting effect of the peas, this looks like the profile of a kibble containing a moderate amount of meat.
Bottom line?
Iams Naturals is a plant-based dry dog food using a moderate amount of named meat meals as its main sources of animal protein, thus earning the brand 3 stars.
Please note certain recipes are sometimes given a higher or lower rating based upon our estimate of their total meat content and (when appropriate) their fat-to-protein ratios.

Dilataion and stenting operation is performed to remove obstruction in ureter. Newer approach are adopted for initial management of ureteric strictures. Contemporary urologists resort to endourological interventions since these are less invasiveness and require less operative time. This also benefits patient by minimizing postoperative pain and helps rapid recovery reducing days of hospital stay. These are as safe as any other traditional surgeries and blood transfusion may not be necessary.
Length of Surgery:
3- 4 hours.
Procedure of Dilatation and stenting is precededbyfollowing diagnosis tests:
- Physical exam and complete Medical history.
- KUB ( abdominal X-ray)
- EKG (electrocardiogram)
- CBC (complete blood count)
- PT / PTT (blood coagulation profile)
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (blood chemistry profile)
- Urinalysis
- Renal ultrasound: grade of hydronephrosis?
- Intravenous urography or abdominal CT
- Renal scintigraphy
- Endoscopy: Retrograde pyelography and ureterorenoscopy
- During endoscopy, biopsy of the stricture is necessary in case of unclear etiology.
- Endoscopic Baloon Dilatation
- Ureteral stenting
- Endocopic ureterotomy
Certain medications to be specifically avoided pre surgery:
- Aspirin.
- Ibuprofen Motrin.
- Voltaren, Plavix, Lovenox, Vioxx, Celebrex.
- Advil, Ticlid, Alka Seltzer, Coumadin, Vitamin E.
- Arthritis medications: avoided since before a week of the surgery otherwise it can cause bleeding during the surgery.
- In case of UTI Urinary Tract Infection, it should be treated before the surgery by prescribed antibiotics.
- In case of severe lung/ heart conditions, it is advisable to exercise extra caution before and during the procedure
Endocopic Balloon Dilatation-
After confirming the site and length of ureteric stricture by pyelography and insertion of a guide wire, a balloon dilatator is introduced. Dilatation is done to a diameter of 4–6 mm. Placement of a ureteral stent (DJ) is done for 2–4 weeks. The success rate is 50–75%. Balloon dilatation is especially suitable for short segment strictures of less than 2 cm and for strictures after lithotripsy of ureteral stones.
Ureteral stenting –
Ureteral stenting is the initial treatment of symptomatic hydronephrosis after endoscopic diagnosis (see above). In conditions with possible spontaneous healing and resolution of the ureteral stricture, the ureteral stent can be removed after a few weeks (e.g. infections).
Endocopic ureterotomy –
Guided by retrograde (or antegrade) pyelography, a guide wire is inserted and the stricture ( narrowed obstruction) is cut under endoscopic vision. Cold knife (without cauterization) or laser fibers techniques are adopted during ureterotomy. A thick ureteral stent is placed for 8–10 weeks following ureterotomy.
- Bleeding after the operation
- Infection
- Poor wound healing ( following open surgery)
- Fever.
- Fatigue.
- Urinary abnormalities.
- Infection.
- Lower body aches.
Follow- up:
- 24 hour surveillance.
- Visit doctor: for removal of cathedral after surgery.
- Emergency Follow up:
- Chest pain/ breathing difficulty.
- Vomiting/ nausea
- Worsening pain .
- Large amounts of blood clots in the urine.
- Difficult/ painful voiding and fully emptying the bladder.
- Hospital stay for one to three days after the procedure.
All above, treatments are finalized taking into consideration the overall health, severity, age and other ailments of the patient. Only a well experienced urologist should perform the above treatment.

Sheku Kanneh-Mason, the young cellist who performed at last month's royal wedding, has won two Classic Brit awards.
The 18-year-old stole the show in many eyes as he performed Maria Theresia von Paradis' Sicilienne, Franz Schubert's Ave Maria and Gabriel Faure's Apres un Reve, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle signed the register, becoming the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
On Wednesday Kanneh-Mason was celebrated at the Classic Brits, an awards ceremony that returns, its organisers say, "reformatted and refreshed" after a five-year hiatus.
He won male artist of the year and a critics' choice award, capping what has been a meteoric rise since he made history in 2016 by becoming the first black musician to win the BBC Young Musician of the Year. Since then the Nottingham teenager has performed at the Baftas and the Proms and released an album, Inspiration, which is still at the top of the classical music charts.
The female artist of the year was the American superstar soprano Renée Fleming who, over the past year or so, has starred in Carousel on Broadway, Der Rosenkavalier at Covent Garden and the Metropolitan Opera in New York and featured on the soundtrack of films The Shape of Water and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Fleming won from a shortlist that also included Beatrice Rana, Tina Guo, Sheridan Smith and Dame Vera Lynn.
Now 101, Lynn was given a lifetime achievement award by the Classic Brit awards. She said: "It's humbling to receive accolades and I'm delighted that people still enjoy my music all these years later."
The group of the year award went to Michael Ball and Alfie Boe who also won the album of the year prize, voted on by Classic FM listeners, for their second record, Together Again, a follow up to Together.
Other winners at the ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall were Jess Gillam, a 20-year-old saxophonist, who was named the sound of classical 2018; The Greatest Showman for soundtrack of the year; and Tokio Myers, winner of last year's Britain's Got Talent, for breakthrough artist of the year.
Andrea Bocelli was named a Classic Brits Icon and Andrew Lloyd Webber was given a special recognition award for musical theatre and education.
The ceremony will be broadcast on ITV on Sunday 17 June.

James A. Gilmore (1926 – 2017) Obituary
James Andrew Gilmore (Jim), 90, of Muskoka, Ontario, passed away peacefully on February 23, 2017. A dedicated husband, brother, father, grandfather and friend – he will be sorely missed. His light shone bright and touched everyone he met (in many countries/across many religions). God willing, he will remain in all our hearts and minds forever.
Jim was born in Preston (now Waterloo) Ontario to Alfred and Lilian Gilmore on August 23, 1926. Growing up in Barrie, Jim was active in many sports with a passion for hockey, baseball and wrestling. Jim left high school at age 16, to take over the family Poultry Hatchery business in Barrie after his father died.
Married to Elinor Beatrice Mitchell on September 11, 1948, they moved to Aurora, in 1957 where Jim worked with Skyline Poultry Farms. A devout Christian and dedicated member of the United Church of Canada, Jim heard God's call to work as a missionary and in 1962, Jim, Elinor, and children (Maureen, Barry and Jamie) sailed off to the mysterious, magical land of India.
Jim and Elinor served 26 years in Asia – 11 as missionaries in India, 7 with United Nations in remote Muzaffarabad (Pakistan) and 8 with UN in Delhi. Jim revolutionized the poultry industry in India and Pakistan, satisfying Hindus in India that unfertilized chicken eggs were vegetarian, establishing broiler rearing and distribution network in India and building hatchery/feed mills/broiler farms in remote Pakistan.
Jim was very active in the community – Rotary Club in Barrie (at age 23 the youngest president), Sunday School teacher, India International Center Volunteer, helping set up broiler/egg production in Bethany Village (a landmark rehabilitation establishment for lepers)– after retirement, Muskoka Lakes Ratepayers Association, Bannockburn Church Board (near cottage), Church choir.
Jim Gilmore is survived by his loving wife of 68 years, Elinor; his three children Maureen (Moe) Donald, Barry and Jamie; his daughters in-law Ani and Sheilagh and son in-law Sandy; his 7 grandchildren Kerry Lee, Matthew, Sarah, Kenneth, Kathryn, Laura and Philip; his sister, Barbara; two nephews, Andrew and Jimmy and his cousin, Jean.
Jim's Celebration of Life will be held at the family cottage in Muskoka, Ontario on July 29, 2017 at 2 pm. Please join us – contact one of his surviving children to confirm.
If you are moved to donate in Jim's honour, make a small gift in his name to your church or to Bannockburn Community Church (1071 Bannockburn Road, Box 101 Bala) Wasaga Beach United Church (380 Zoo Park Rd., Wasaga Beach).

Senator welcomes listeners to Alabama
Bobby Denton enjoys his rewarding, multifaceted role as Alabama's singing senator.
"I'm in a unique position," says Denton, a veteran Muscle Shoals recording artist and longtime state senator. "It's turned out to be a great way for me to call attention to our rich musical heritage not just in this area, but across the state."
Denton was the velvety-voiced singer behind the romantic anthem "A Fallen Star." Recorded in 1957, the country-pop smash launched the Muscle Shoals music industry with a meteoric hit. Denton later sang on television's "The Dick Clark Show" and toured with rock 'n' roll dynamo Jerry Lee Lewis.
"Then I quit the music business and decided to stay home and raise a family," Denton noted. "Now I'm singing and recording again, but this time I'm doing it purely for fun. I'm cutting new albums on a regular basis and I'm just having a ball with it."
Denton's first few second-career sessions focused on traditional Southern gospel (1997's "My God and I," 1998's "Hope") and sentimental ballads (1999's "Love Songs"). A new album release, "Alabama Welcomes You," reflects Denton's deep-seated pride in the music of his home state.
"It's my salute to Alabama to our music, to our people, to our values," Denton remarked. "I wanted this album to reflect my love for Alabama and what our state means to me. I've tried to do that by cutting songs that show who we are as Alabamians and how we live our lives."
The six cuts include "Alabama Reunion," a rousing anthem that became the unifying theme for a statewide celebration in 1989. The song was penned by Buddy Killen and Curly Putman, a pair of Alabama natives who went on to become two of Nashville's hottest songwriters.
"You just don't get any better than Buddy and Curly," Denton insists. "The song mentions Muscle Shoals and mountains and Mobile Bay. It calls Alabama 'a place where dreams are born and wishes do come true.' It mentions everybody from Hank Williams and Tammy Wynette to Nat 'King' Cole and the 'Father of the Blues,' W.C. Handy."
A tender new song, "Family Value," focuses on the quality of home life associated with the state. "Alabama Has It All" offers a stirring ode to the state's wide-ranging natural and personal resources. "God Loves Alabama" places the theme in a spiritual perspective, while "Old Soldiers" salutes a select group of American military veterans.
"I think it's so sad that we're losing so many of our World War II veterans and we're losing them so fast," Denton remarked. "We owe those veterans such a debt of gratitude. They sacrificed so much to preserve a way of life that we all cherish. I don't think there's any way we can ever repay that debt."
The album closes with the state's best-known musical standard, the enduring classic "Stars Fell on Alabama."
I recorded another version of it on the 'Love Songs' album, Denton noted. "But I wasn't totally satisfied with the way the production turned out on that one. This album offered us a chance to go back and do it again. I'm a lot more pleased with the way it sounds now."
Denton's "Alabama Welcomes You" was recorded and mixed at Sound House Sound Studio in Mississippi and Jimmy Johnson's Swamper Sound Studio in Sheffield.
"I had some great people working on every phase of this project," noted Denton, who also produced the album. "Jimmy Johnson was my associate producer, and Mike Mihelic was the engineer. Plus we had some of the best players and background singers around. I'm thrilled with the way it turned out."
When he's not attending legislative sessions in Montgomery, Denton continues to develop ongoing musical projects in a state-of-the-art studio at his Muscle Shoals home.
"Right now I'm working on another gospel album for 2002, which I think is going to be my best yet," Denton explained. "We've got some good songs, including a few that lean a little toward contemporary gospel. But they're all done in the traditional gospel style."
In addition to recording, Denton frequently performs for church socials, civic meetings, senior-citizens groups, conventions and reunions.
"My audience is made up mostly of people over 40 people who grew up on the kind of songs I love to sing," Denton observed. "I do it for my own personal pleasure, but I love the fact that others enjoy the music, too. As long as they keep listening, I'll keep singing."
For copies of "Alabama Welcomes You," call Bobby Denton Music at 381-7449 or check the singer's Web site, www.bobbydenton.com.
