These opportunities are focused on providing locals, whether frequent guests or first-time visitors, free or reduced admission to their world-class Aquarium. "Since 1981, generations of local families have walked through our doors and shared in the wonders of the underwater world," said Jenny Hamilton, community programs manager for the National Aquarium. "These programs ensure our neighbors can continue to connect with us, inspiring thousands each year to love – and protect – aquatic environments around the world as well as those right here in our city and state." One of the most popular opportunities to visit, the Aquarium's Maryland Mornings, returns September 5, 2017, and runs through the end of February 2018. Maryland residents receive $10 off adult admission and $5 off child admission before noon, Sunday through Friday. The Read to Reef Book Club, in partnership with the Enoch Pratt Free Library, offers free admission to the Aquarium for participating Baltimore-area children fifth grade and younger with a Pratt Library card. Starting October 1, children can visit their local Pratt Library branch, read aquatic-themed books, and receive Aquarium admission for the reader and up to three guests. The program has already welcomed close to 15,000 young readers and their families since launching in 2016. The National Aquarium also offers several special access days this fall and throughout the remainder of the year. New this year is Free Fall Friday Night. As part of the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts' citywide celebration of culture, Free Fall Baltimore, the National Aquarium will offer free admission after 5 p.m. on Friday, October 27. Pay What You Want Day, made possible with the generous support of T. Rowe Price, will return on Sunday, November 5. Guests can donate an amount of their choice for admission to the Aquarium, knowing their contribution supports conservation efforts. Additionally, Dollar Days, an annual holiday tradition in collaboration with the Downtown Partnership of Baltimore, will return on Saturday, December 9 and Sunday, December 10, with one dollar admission on both days. As always, guests can take advantage of half-price admission year-round every Friday after 5 p.m. through Half-Price Friday Nights, presented with the generous support of M&T Bank. Guests planning to take advantage of these special access days should be aware that, due to anticipated popularity, crowds may be heavier than usual and the Aquarium may sell out. Tips to plan a visit can be found on aqua.org. In 2016 alone, the Aquarium welcomed over 100,000 guests for free or reduced admission through these community programs, sharing educational and enjoyable experiences with local and state residents.

Sewing Minky Cuddle Blankets
My two little nieces have put in a request for snuggly cuddle blankets to keep them warm as we head into winter. I haven't seen them in a while but I did have one key piece of intelligence, Little Miss Almost Four is mad obsessed with unicorns right now. Apparently ponies are also 'pretty good', but we all have to agree they're not in the same league as unicorns.
Sadly, a quick search through my quite substantial fabric stash failed turn up a single piece of unicorn fabric, but a fortuitous trip to Spotlight turned up the perfect fabric. Brand new on the shelf and meeting all Little Miss Almost Four's exacting requirements: soft, cuddly and covered in unicorns.
And I found something equally acceptable for the little sister too.
The blankets were quick and easy to make. For each blanket, I cut out two pieces of minky fabric 130cm x 160cm (52 inches x 63 inches). This was an arbitrary measurement, smaller than a singlet bed size, but larger than a cot quilt size. I also cut out a piece of wadding the same size.
One piece of minky fabric for each blanket was stretchy, so (after a failed attempt to just sew it all together without stabilising the edge, and lets face it, I really should know better by now), I ironed interfacing along the stretchy edge to stabilise the edge while I sewed the blanket together.
Lay out the two pieces of fabric with right sides together.
Lay the wadding on top.
Pin the three layers together and trim any excess fabric and wadding so all edges are even.
Sew around the edges of the blanket using a straight stitch on the sewing machine, leaving a gap in the stitching of approximately 10cm (4 inches), to turn the blanket the right way out.
Trim the corners close to the stitch line, to aid with turning the blanket right side out.
Turn the blanket right side out through the opening.
Hand stitch the opening closed.
The blankets are now complete. You can add quilting across the blankets if you wish, but I haven't bothered to do this in the past as I like how snuggly they feel without it. Let's hope Miss Almost Four and her little sister approve.

(Coppell, TX) - Travelers are always looking for unique experiences that fit their budget. This year for Spring Break experts forecast a variety of destinations and trends travelers may choose to favor this year.
Spring Break is also a time where families as well as college students may take a road trip. In a AAA travel poll released late last year forecasting 2017 domestic travel trends, survey respondents said Florida was a desired destination. Texans wanting an in-state road trip or a "staycation" near their home are considering several Texas metro areas. Austin is always a top attraction with SXSW events, music festivals and state history to explore and the Houston/Galveston region is always desirable for vacationers wanting to experience food, arts, culture, the beach or board a cruise ship leaving Galveston.
Orlando, Florida
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Anaheim, California
Miami, Florida
Las Vegas, Nevada

Gas prices in Texas remain among the top ten least expensive averages in the country and the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded has remained in the $2.30 cent range for most of the last month. The average price for gas in Texas is $2.11 per gallon with the most expensive averages found in the Dallas area around $2.15 per gallon and the least expensive averages found in the San Antonio area around $2.03. Drivers in Texas can expect filling up typical family sized vehicle, or 14-gallon tank, for an average of $29.54.
In a recent travel poll, AAA travel agents identified these top trends for 2017: experiential travel, Canadian destinations, river cruising, and National Parks.
Both novice and expert travelers are looking for unique travel experiences that allow a deeper connection to the cultures, people and traditions. Some travelers are interested in booking tours that include opportunities to dine with local families or receive hands-on tutorials from local craftspeople.
Canada is an increasingly popular vacation destination, due to its close location and favorable currency exchange rates that make trips there affordable and accessible to more Americans. Canada will also celebrate its 150th birthday in 2017, offering visitors many opportunities to experience special events and learn more about the country's history and traditions.
According to a AAA survey, four in 10 Americans would consider a river cruise for an upcoming vacation and 24 percent said they are likely to take a river cruise in the next five years.
The National Park Service celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2016. Following all-time record visitation in 2015, the national parks remain an attractive vacation destination for many. According to AAA, 79 percent of Americans say they are as likely or more likely to visit a national park through the first half of 2017, building on the momentum of last year's centennial celebrations.
"Knowledgeable AAA Travel agents are available to talk with vacationers about destinations that fit their budgets," said AAA Texas/AAA New Mexico Public Affairs Representative Sarah Schimmer. "Working with travel planning professionals at a local AAA Texas branch can help travelers find better rates, get first-hand knowledge about destinations, and receive a personalized vacation experience. Booking in advance can make travel dollars stretch a little farther."
Travelers can download the free AAA Mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android. The app can be used to map a route, find the lowest gas prices, access exclusive member discounts, find more than 58,000 AAA Approved and Diamond Rated hotels and restaurants, request roadside assistance and more.

A synovectomy is a surgical procedure for those suffering from significant pain and loss of function due to rheumatoid arthritis. This surgery is usually performed with an arthroscope, a thin, lighted tube attached to a television screen which is inserted through a small incision in the affected area. This procedure, though not a cure, can increase function and decrease pain.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a form of inflammatory arthritis that affects the synovium, or the lining of the joints. The synovium acts as a filter to clear debris and infections. Inflammation of this lining causes it to become clogged, making it very thick and swollen often impeding normal, pain-free motion.
Symptoms of RA include joint pain, tenderness and swelling, morning stiffness and fatigue, and occasionally weight loss and fever. Rheumatoid nodules, or firm bumps under the skin, a sign of joint deformity, may also appear. Typically, RA affects the smaller joints first and can occur in several joints simultaneously. Over time, RA can cause damage to the joints, cartilage, ligaments, tendons and bone.
Once diagnosed with RA, through a detailed medical history, blood tests, x-rays and joint fluid analysis, conservative treatment options such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), regular exercises and coping strategies, such as heat or cold application and rethinking daily activity strategies, is recommended. If, after six to twelve months, symptoms become worse, a synovectomy may be an option.
A synovectomy removes inflamed joint tissue causing the pain and dysfunction, and can decrease swelling and slow bone damage and erosion. Common areas for a synovectomy are the knees, shoulders, wrists, elbows, fingers and hips. But, as with any surgical procedure, it comes with its fair share of risks. Depending on the severity and location, a local or general anesthesia is necessary. There is the possibility of infection, bleeding into the joint area and possible loss of joint motion post surgery.
After a synovectomy, a brief time of immobilization is followed by movement, typically through the use of a continuous passive motion machine (CPM). The use of pain medications to deal with post-surgical pain, and physical therapy are the recommended courses of action. Physical therapy consists of range of motion exercises and general strengthening, essential to regaining function. Antibiotics also may be used to ward off infection.
A synovectomy is most beneficial to joints with minimal damage and is a useful early treatment option. But though it may only provide temporary relief of symptoms, if left untreated, rheumatoid arthritis can lead to complete destruction of the joint. By removing the inflamed tissue, a synovectomy can delay or stop the necessity of a total joint replacement.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

On this tour you will visit:
The City walls and the Golden Horn. Saint Saviour in Chora Church Museum and Suleymaniye Mosque.
City Walls and Golden Horn by vehicle: As you will ride along the shores of the Marmara Sea with your driver and guide, you will follow a major portion of the city's Byzantine walls and will continue to follow them when we turn inland from the sea. Your guide will discuss the remains of Constantinople's old city walls and you will hear the history of their construction and about the battles during which the walls either saved the city or were breached by its attackers.
Saint Savior in Chora Church Museum: This delightful church was built in the 11th century just within the Theodosian Walls of Constantinople, as the city was known throughout the Byzantine era. The Theodosian Walls were built roughly 1500 meters beyond the original Constantinian Wall at the behest of Emperor Theodosius II during the early 5th century. The significance of the church's name (Chora means countryside in Greek) lies in the fact that it was constructed upon the site of a much older church that had been built outside of the Constantinian Wall prior to the construction of the Theodosian Walls. The Chora's dozens of exquisite mosaic depictions, dating from the early 14th century and visible throughout the interior, are what have made it a must see destination when in Istanbul. These are some of the highest quality Byzantine mosaics anywhere that have survived until the present. Ironically, it is because the mosaics were covered with plaster when the church was used for centuries as a mosque that the mosaics have been so well preserved.
Suleymaniye Mosque: This elegant mosque with its distinguishing four slender minarets was built on the order of Sultan Suleyman by the most famous of Ottoman architects, Mimar Sinan, between 1550 and 1558. It is the second largest mosque in the city and sits prominently upon the third of old Istanbul's seven hills. In addition to the mosque, the original complex consisted of a hospital and medical college, four madrasahs as well as a special school for study of the hadith, a hamam, a Caravansarai and a public kitchen. The tomb of Mimar Sinan is located adjacent to the mosque.
After the tour, you will be returned to Sultanahmet Square.
*The Saint Savior in Chora Church is closed on Wednesdays and is replaced in our program with the Grand Bazaar. The Topkapi Palace is closed on Tuesdays. On Tuesdays, only the half day afternoon portion of this tour is available. The morning half can be filled with our Bosphorus Plus half day morning program.

Brisbane city may often be forgotten when it comes to talk of student-friendly cities. Sure, Sydney and Melbourne are quite popular for young adults, but I think Brisbane is quite the student's paradise, and here's five reasons why!
1. You don't have to sacrifice half your weekly wage to live
Student accommodation is around every corner in Brisbane's inner city, and you won't need to worry about sacrificing half your weekly income, your soul, and a kidney to live here! If city living isn't for you, the Greater Brisbane region offers an array of accommodation.
2. Public transport is everywhere
Brisbane's easily accessible public transport links stretch from the northside to the southside, reaching to the westside and extending all along the east coast! You'll be spoiled for choice when deciding what mode of transportation to take as Translink's network includes train services, tram services, ferry rides, buses, and public bicycles.
3. Spoilt for choice when choosing a university!
Whether you're an international student looking to expand your global presence by studying in Brisbane, or whether you're a permanent resident deciding on a career path, there is an extensive amount of study opportunities throughout Brisbane and Greater Brisbane.
4. Varying social scenes
Depending on your personality, there is always somewhere in Brisbane where you can florish. If you love relaxation then South Bank's beaches and night markets are the place for you! If you're more about retail therapy then Queen Street Mall's array of stores is the place for you! If you'd rather spend a day out on the water or hiking through national parks, Brisbane's outer suburbs are ideal. Which brings us to the final reason why I think Brisbane is the student's city…
5. Proximity to the Wilderness
Want to head north? Jump in your car or catch the train an hour up to the Sunshine Coast! Take a trip to the top of the Maleny range and throw down a coffee overlooking the forest. More of a Southerner? Visit Surfers Paradise or make it a day at one of the many theme parks. Brisbane's west is where the country-folk come alive! Explore Toowoomba's Carnival of Flowers, or take a week's road trip out to Charleville. Whether you're a sun-soaker, a road-tripper, an art-lover, or a water-rat, Brisbane's close proximity to every type of environment will appeal to everyone!

At West Texas Trophy Outfitters, our business is serving the serious hunter and outdoorsman.
We're committed to providing exceptional service. We feature fair-chase hunts where one can expect to see 15 to 20 bucks per day.
The Foster Rocky Creek Ranch
West Texas Trophy Outfitters operates out of the Foster Rocky Creek Ranch, deep in the heart of Texas. The ranch is located 15 miles southeast of Ballinger and 40 miles northeast of San Angelo. The 16,000 acre Runnels County spread is situated at the confluence of the Colorado River and Lake Ivy.
The terrain at Rocky Creek features rolling hills with live oak, cedar and mesquite. Several fields have been reserved and planted especially to appeal to whitetail deer and turkey.
A Tradition of Land Management
The Rocky Creek Ranch ? along with all of the Foster family holdings ? has been strictly maintained in a long-held and well-know tradition. This tradition of excellent land management was begun by their pioneer forefathers during the early days of the settlement of Texas.
In keeping with this fine family tradition, we here at W.T.T.O. are dedicated to providing quality deer and turkey hunting while adhering to the highest standards of environmental responsibility.
Rocky Creek Ranch participates in the M.L.D. Management Program. Multiple counts are taken on a regular basis. By this close monitoring, we're able to better determine the number of both the managements and trophy hunts we can offer each year. This program plays a vital part in maintaining the quality and the size of the herd development.

Second Presbyterian Church of Bloomington was founded June 3,1855 by 34 individuals opposed to slavery. The First Presbyterian Church of Bloomington, founded in 1833, had hired a pro-slavery pastor. This, along with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act passed in 1854, was the impetus for 14 members from the First Church to join with 12 members of the anti- slavery Congregational Church to create the New School Presbyterian Church, later named Second Presbyterian Church of Bloomington.
Second Presbyterian Church has occupied the same site in downtown Bloomington and remains today, "The Heart of Christ in the Heart of the Community."

Natasha and Fanny were married on a chilly fall day at the Club de Golf Gatineau. I say chilly, but I mean cold, very very cold. It was actually considerably warmer on Christmas Eve then it was on this Sunday at the end of October. It was Natasha and Fanny's dream to have an outdoor fall wedding and nothing stood in their way. The leaves had just finished changing in the Gatineau hills but there was just a few left to the setting even more beautiful.
Natasha and Fanny are sporty outdoor girls with a huge love of hockey and they infused a lot of this into their day. From the hockey stick arches for the recessional to the hockey towel kissing game and wedding favours the day was uniquely theirs. There was a fantastic mix of french and english throughout the day which again was distinctly them.

Origin: Germany
Although this delightful breed is a relative newcomer to the UK fancy, chickens matching their description were first mentioned in a publication by Johann Matthaeus Bechstein in 1793. Prior to this date the exact origins are unclear but it is quite plausible that the breed finds it beginnings in Bohemia where chickens with beards were observed. Then, during the 30 year war in 1621, the families that were forced to move from Bohemia and Moravia relocated in the Ruhla and Steinbach areas of the Thuringian Forest bringing their cattle and poultry with them. The mixing of these birds with the local breeds formed the basis of the Thuringian bearded chicken known as the Thuringian "chubby cheeks"! Whatever its origins, the pure strain of the Thuringian could be found in Rhula at the beginning of the 19th century.
In the early 1880s the breed began to be exhibited and in 1898 a standard was drawn up with 11 signatures and 11 colour varieties were listed and they continued to increase in popularity. On the 8th March 1907 the Association of Breeders of the Thuringian Bearded Chicken was founded in Rhula, the chairman being the mayor of Rhula, Paul King. Their task was to ensure consistent improvement in the breeding and the standards were refined and colours listed as Black, white, buff, cuckoo, gold and silver spangled with a comment that other colours such as partridge were also available. In 1911 the first bantam, black, was seen at an exhibition but it was not until 1919 that the bantam form began to be evaluated when more examples were shown from several breeders. During the First World War the number of farms dropped and the number of breeders also fell. However, the few remaining stayed dedicated to the breed to ensure that the Thuringians did not disappear completely. It did have the effect, however, that around this time beauty began to take precedence over utility. In the following years, the breed popularity picked up again and the standard accepted for the large fowl was applied analogously to the bantam form.
The Second World War proved disastrous to the Thuringian as it did to many other breeds. Many farms were lost and many farmers did not return from the war. Those that did, found the continuation of clubs almost impossible due to prohibitions on meetings and strict curfews. Never the less, efforts continued and representation at shows gradually increased. There was little activity in Western Germany until the mid 1950s when contact was made with the breeders in Eastern Germany and visits to exhibitions started and active correspondence ensued.
In 1990 the reunification of Germany happened, the clubs from both countries merged and in January 1991 at a show in Thuringia 199 large fowl and 188 bantams in all the recognised colours were shown. Four "excellent" and eighteen "outstanding" awards were given showing the very good quality of the birds there and testament to the dedication of the breeders. The club celebrated its 100th jubilee in 2007.
The UK started to see these enchanting birds in the early 2000s and they are currently standard in the black, chamois, silver spangled, gold spangled, cuckoo, blue laced and partridge . In Germany they also have white, buff and red. The breed remains very rare both here and in Germany. From my experience the different colours carry different personality traits, the blacks being quietly cheeky with the chamois brash and confident and very talkative and can be extremely tame to the point of being a nuisance if they weren't so engaging. Although they are classed as a light breed they are not particularly flighty and make excellent chickens for children as tame down very easily. There is a Thuringian to suit everyone from back garden enthusiast to dedicated breeders and compulsive exhibitors.

Canning, Natalie ed. (2011). Play and Practice in the Early Years Foundation Stage. London: Sage.
|Google Scholar:
|Look up in Google Scholar
Play is an underlying theme of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) but it is often a challenge for practitioners to provide a play based curriculum. This book investigates the values and beliefs that underpin play and demonstrates through case studies how play opportunities can be observed, planned and assessed in a meaningful context for the child.
Organised into four sections that mirror the EYFS, this book takes you through the curriculum framework demonstrating how play underpins each of these principles and is the common thread that links them together.
Chapters include: celebrating children's play choices; ways to work with parents; inspiring environments for inspirational play; the role o play in supporting key relationships; creative play for flexible learning.
Incorportating the voices of early years practitioners, this book takes the unique approach of analysing academic theory, showing how this can be put into practice and then suggests activities to facilitate reflective practice and professional development.
Useful to all those studying on any early years course, this book is particularly relevant to those leading practice in early years settings and those working towards Early Years Professional Status (EYPS).

A Nov. 7, 2014, story by Robinson Meyer in The Atlantic reports that a non-profit feminist advocacy group called Women, Action and the Media were given a form of moderator oversight for Twitter. In Meyer's words, "WAM, in effect, got super powers." What seems to be the gist of this, is that users will be able to forward harassment claims to WAM!, who will then use their discretion to expedite what they determine to be harassing content through to resolution.
While that may seem topically innocuous, it may be prudent to maintain skepticism toward the democratic intentions of an organization whose website lists, among their core values, a belief that institutions (one might assume they include Twitter) require pressure to be changed. Taken in context with the organization's claim that it is interested in news, opinion-making, and social networks, it is likely that WAM! will use the position to exert pressure in the direction of tone-policing Twitter. While this plan is initially to be a one-month test run, the intent is to form lasting policy.
Several portions of Meyer's article were troubling, including the unique characterization of a Pew Research survey as a "study", the fact that the cited poll showed a similar incidence of online harassment for men and women, the rhetoric surrounding a charge of Twitter's "greed" in not having spent adequate resources towards moderation so far (when the article had already stated that the company regularly operates at a loss), and characterizing WAM! as a small operation out of Boston with few employees, when their website states that they operate with many volunteers in offices in major cities across the country. The total effect came across as concerning.
A specific area of concern may be how the institution of a biased, third-party organization with moderation powers may intersect with the popularity of Twitter as a communication medium for GamerGate, a hashtag-turned-community who have been popularly disparaged as misogynistic. For a community like theirs, it can be inhibitive of having a substantive voice with which to answer that type of charge when bias is allowed to drive policy. Whether their or other speech on Twitter is disproportionately targeted under the new program merits monitoring, out of concern that the First Amendment remain a preeminent cultural institution.
Jaclyn Friedman, the founder of WAM!, attempted to pre-empt concerns about potential censorship in her statements to The Atlantic, where her remarks were reported to be "that a completely open and unmoderated platform imposes its own" censorship. The article did not provide the reasoning behind that assertion.
While the protection of women, and hopefully all people, from online harassment is worthy of a broad examination, special care should be taken in consideration of where exactly the rights of differing people come into conflict. These types of questions will be extremely important in determining the direction of speech in the cultural future of America, and the public should be made aware whenever such debates emerge. In order to champion democracy, a society must first be certain to take measures to ensure that they practice it themselves to the very best of their ability.

Travel writer Madeline McInnis from Canada shares her experience of studying here in Birmingham
Coming to the University of Birmingham was one of the most difficult decisions I have ever made. Within a day of my acceptance in the year-abroad program here at Birmingham, I was offered the part-time job of a lifetime. Since I'm writing this article, I'm sure you know what I chose.
It is so different from what I have at home. Here, I have four modules with a 100% assessment at the very end. At home, I take five courses a semester that are usually assessed over three main assignments and participation. I've heard from all of my friends studying in Canada from the United Kingdom that there is so much more work at my home university, and now I can see why.
I am certainly not complaining about all the free time, though. Since coming here, I've been able to have so many amazing opportunities. I've been to more museums than I have classrooms, and I actually have the time to go to the cinema, something I never have time to do at home, even as a film major.
The very fact that your national museums here in Britain are free is something that I can't even begin to express. At home, I can't even get into a museum gift shop without getting charged a head-fee, but we have a Botticelli right here on the university campus that anyone is free to see.
That's my biggest impression of the United Kingdom so far — everything is very concerned with history and culture. As much as maths and engineering are pushed, it's not as stressed as it is at home. I can't remember reading a single Canadian book or seeing a Canadian artist while I was in high school, but here they are absolutely celebrated as a huge part of society.
It's very comforting to know that the arts — and the people who produce and engage with them — are truly appreciated. All of our big artists seem to be in Hollywood film and are always mistaken for Americans.
That's fair — I've been mistaken for an American more times than I can count. It's not as bad as people make it out to be, as long as you don't think I voted for Trump. I think it also comes down to the fact that Canadians aren't as nationalistic as Americans or Brits are.
As a collective group, we understand that our country has been quite awful at times. Colonialism is talked about in virtually every class from grade nine on. None of us goes around chanting that Canada is the best unless ice hockey happens to be involved. It's rare to find a Canadian flag anywhere in the city that isn't attached to an official building.
In America, you'll find them everywhere you go. Here, it's not as obvious, but it's still there. One of my friends here will only watch and write on British films to avoid the Hollywood influence, for example. That's perfectly understandable, but why only British, then? Why not Korean, Russian, Nigerian, Australian, Brazilian?
There's certainly an air of British nationalism that Canadians don't seem to have, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Nothing is ever really good or bad about comparing cultures — it's just different.
No one ever warns you that it's the little things that will be the biggest burdens about going on exchange. They warn you about cultural differences, language barriers, academic expectations, and flight delays. They don't warn you that roundabouts are absolutely deadly and you will not figure out how they work even months into your stay.
And it's the little things — the subconscious things — that are by far the most difficult to deal with. I still look the wrong way while I'm crossing the street. I still don't know what to call the loo — is it the bathroom or the washroom? When I'm flipping through my coins at the grocery store, I'm so used to the sizes of coins determining their value like it is at home, so I'll consistently pull out 50p coins instead of the two-pound ones.
Speaking of money, the currency is still a major struggle for me. The pound is nearly double the Canadian dollar when you factor in all of the transfer fees and everything. In the beginning, I found myself just doubling the cost of every price tag when I went out, but I've had to stop doing that now, especially for food.
It took me a while to accept that prices here would be higher, and that's what I had to deal with. Rather than comparing it to my home currency, I started looking at what's a good deal here from place to place.
Some of the best deals I've found are in the actual travel. I don't know what everyone is complaining about with public transport. It is cheap, it is fast, it is convenient, and it is effective. For the cost of one roundtrip train ticket to the city centre, I could only buy one bus ticket at home.
What I'll miss most about the United Kingdom will definitely be the trains. If you've ever tried to travel by train in North America, you'll know what I mean. Here, you can get anywhere and you can get there fairly quickly.
And the Tube? Toronto, Canada's largest city, has a whole three subway lines. Imagine if the Tube only connected Charing Cross to Baker Street. Yeah, it gets pretty annoying.
Coming to Birmingham was an absolute whirlwind — my acceptance never came and I had to search it out myself. Due to hiccups in the system, I had been overlooked and I would never have been here if I hadn't taken matters into my own hands.
I think, overall, that's kind of the main lesson from a year abroad: things will get hectic. Sometimes, you will be in over your head, you will be stressed and you will be scared. But if you really want this experience, you'll make it work and you will work for it.

This sweater is...really nice but thought that the name "Really Nice Sweater" could perhaps sound odd. After a few years of having tight collars, I developed a tingling spider sense of having low rise neck designs as you may have observed with the "Nice T-shirt."
This sweater goes well with short or long bottoms and looks best with the new Medium Smooth and Large type busts too. To wear this item underneath a jacket, remove the hands and fold the end of the sleeve before pushing the arm down the jacket sleeve. Goes well with the Military Field Jacket.

Bay Area Sliding Door Repair is the Authorized Dealer & Installer for our service area.
Sizing Guide
Important Sizing Notes: The selector above is a good guide for wall and door mounted models. When installing you will want to mount the pet door so that the top of the opening will clear the shoulders of the tallest pet by 1.5 to 2″. When selecting an In-the-Glass model, you will select a taller model as the pet door will rest on the bottom frame of your sliding glass door…and you will still want to maintain the 1.5 to 2″ shoulder clearance.

How writing the Crime Lord Series changed my life
I don't mean to sound dramatic, but it's true. Writing the Crime Lord Series changed my life. As I pack my luggage and tape up the last of my boxes, I find myself reflecting on how much my life has changed since publishing the Crime Lord Series. Maybe it's the passing of my girl or…Read More

What do women want? It's an age old question, but we're pretty sure we've found the answer! Check out these fabulous gifts for her- we've found perfect presents for women of all ages.
How to buy brilliant gifts for her
At times women can appear inexplicably upset, appalled or even down right boggled at our telepathic short-comings if we fail to deliver the goods. If mind-reading is not your forte, it's important to listen out for cryptic clues or cleverly dropped hints in the run-up to a special occasion. If you still have no idea whatsoever, then stick to our basic rules when buying gifts for women.
Whether it's a birthday treat, a Christmas gift or a random surprise, women love to be pampered. Treat her by choosing thoughtful gifts that she would never splurge on herself.
Gifts for her - what not to buy
For wives, live-in girlfriends or mothers, cleaning products or practical household items should be avoided at all costs, lest you want that new compost bin, as well as its putrid contents, thrown at your head in the midst of a heated row! When buying gifts for her, it's much safer to go for something heart-felt and indulgent that will make her smile.
Gym memberships and weight loss products are an absolute no-no. No matter what she asks you, she always looks great and NO, her thighs definitely do not look big in her new figure hugging skirt/jeans/bandage dress. Cute work-out clothes and sports accessories are only acceptable gifts for her if she's already the sporty type and won't be insulted by the suggestion that she could do with some exercise that doesn't involve an arm and a T.V. remote.
Gifts for her- presentation is everything.
While we know it's the thought that counts, but when buying gifts for her unless you are under 10 and can produce a home-made gift that will reduce her to a heap of sentimental goo, make her present look expensive. This can be achieved by actually buying something pricey or dressing it up with either lashings of good quality paper or a pretty box, covered in silk ribbons to make it look as extravagant as possible. Like the lady herself, she won't be able to resist beautiful things.

The show this year took a variety of characters from different walks of life and showed their reality in Act 1, and their imaginations in Act 2. This was a complicated show in every aspect. The storyline was involved and non-linear which makes it a more challenging piece for a cast to wrap their heads around. This year there were a lot of technical elements and the excitement of pyrotechnics to work with as well - which is something you can't rehearse until production week in the Civic Theatre! Our cast did a fabulous job of pulling all the theatrical threads together.
Aspire really feels like a big family and it is this aspect of the program that I think is my favourite. The final show on the Saturday night is bittersweet in some ways. We're excited to perform but we know this will be our last performance as part of this cast doing this show. Some of our cast have been with us for 4 years now and the bonds they have with each other are lifelong bonds. The older students support the younger ones throughout the rehearsal period and during performance week, offering advice, assisting them to learn new skills and organising themselves.
As the curtain closes on this year's production, Aspire continues to spread the performing arts message in our schools. I am working with a variety of schools on their productions in Term 3 and 4 and of course the preparation for next year's program has already started in the form of a number of crazy ideas floating around my head
2016 Audition forms are now available and I encourage anyone with an interest in the performing arts to come along and see what we're all about.

New York
Mushroom Company
Welcome to New York Mushroom Company and thank you for your interest in our farm! As a family business, we are committed to growing and producing the finest gourmet mushrooms in Central New York. Our farming adventures began in 2005 when we bought our first home and 47 acres in Lebanon Center, New York.
Our objectives were clear. We were creating a sustainable family business that would provide a future for our family and the land we steward. We work together and value the integrity of hard work. We strive to conserve our resources, not waste them.
In 2007, our adventures led us to the amazing world of mushrooms. We found that gourmet mushrooms are an ideal local product. Mushrooms are difficult to transport while maintaining quality. The established food system cannot compete with the taste, texture, or shelf-life of a fresh picked gourmet mushroom. We promise to deliver only the highest quality mushrooms that we would be proud to serve to our own family. As you enjoy our site and learn about our products, we hope that you will feel as we do, at home. Come visit us at the farm or market and give our 'fruit' of the fungi a try.
God Bless,
KC & Kristi Mangine

What is the best practice for providing "in-page" security.
Created May 7, 2012
- Role with fields Role (the PK), Description (display only for ease of admin), and RoleBit (a power of two: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 ... )
- SecurityRealm with fields SecurityRealm (the PK), Description and SecurityItem. You could get away with just one field here, but I found that it was useful to make the security more granular by having a Description of, say, "Trouble Tickets" and separate Items of "View", "Add", "Update" and "Delete".
- SecurityRealm_Role which determines which Roles have access to which SecurityRealms. Only two fields: SecurityRealm and Role. Natch these just hold the keys.
So, given this tag in a jsp page:
<utiltags:SecurityAllow securityRealm='Customer' securityItem='Edit'> <input type='submit' value='Edit Customer'> </utiltags:SecurityAllow>The code would compare the role bits of the user (as stored in the Session upon login) with the roles that are associated (via SecurityRealm_Role table) with the SecurityRealm having Description/SecurityItem "Customer"/"Edit".
If the user is in an allowed role for this, the body content - in this case a submit button - is shown. I've also added an optional parameter to the tag that lets you specify content to be shown if the user is not allowed access.
Good luck! Hope this helps to give you some ideas!

At Laurier, we are committed to supporting and enhancing the well-being of our staff and faculty with a comprehensive benefits package that focuses on our employee's health and well-being, and that of their families. Our benefits programs touch on a wide range of areas that provide for a healthy work-life balance:
Laurier's pension plan is a money purchase plan with a minimum guaranteed pension level. This "hybrid" plan design provides you with a better benefit than a more traditional defined-benefit plan, because it enables you to reap the rewards of the plan's investment performance, while having the security of a minimum guaranteed benefit (defined-benefit).
Laurier is committed to providing an inclusive workplace. We believe that a healthy, productive workforce is essential to our ability to provide quality service. We recognize that on occasion, employees may experience health conditions that prevent them from attending work.
Laurier offers both a sick leave and abilities management program that provides income protection and support should an employee be unable to attend work or requires an accommodation within the workplace for health reasons, due to non-work related illness or injury.
Staff and faculty receive a discount on memberships to the athletic complex. Upon purchase of a membership, staff and faculty have access to their own change area, fitness centre (and use of the pool and squash courts on the Waterloo campus).
The Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP) is available to all Laurier employees and their dependents. It provides confidential, professional counselling services that are free, voluntary and high-quality through Homewood Health Inc.
Every year Laurier hosts a variety of health and well-being focused events including Thrive Week, Employee Wellness days and lunch and learn sessions.
Employee Wellness Days provide employees with an opportunity to focus on their health and well-being by participating in a keynote and various breakout sessions while learning about the services and supports offered to our employees.

She shared that she started with a cleansing program. While the program was tailored to her specific needs, the basic structure consisted of eating 3 servings of vegetables, 1 serving of fruit and 2 servings of protein each day (servings are fist sized portions with as much raw as possible). She drank a lot of water and added in some other good elements like garlic and olive oil. She experienced tremendous benefits from doing this cleanse. I will share more detail about cleanses in future posts (or check out my story of doing the Master Cleanse). Needless to say, giving our body an internal cleanse can be very beneficial, just as spring cleaning our home can be. More on this later.
My friend also shared that she had purchased a Nutribullet and was making smoothies that were blessing her. She has lost 15 pounds over the past few months and people have been noticing the change. She shared a basic recipe for one of her favorite smoothies and I've included it here for you.
3 medium organic strawberries
1/4 cup organic raspberries
1/2 cup organic baby kale
1 tsp. flax seed (ground if blender is not strong enough to crush)
2 Tbsp organic walnuts
1 cup water (or more if you desire it thinner)
Blend all in high speed blender and enjoy. Lots of good Omega-3 fatty acids and low in sugar.
(Variation: I used blueberries instead of raspberries and 3 drops of YL lemon oil. Yum!)
Drinking Young Living lemon oil in water is refreshing and supports the immune system. My friend says she does this daily. She has been enjoying overall good health. She regularly uses other essential oils for for daily aches & pains, improving sleep, and minor everyday ailments.
Lastly, she shared a quote from St. Irenaeus, "The Glory of God is man fully alive." We talked about how God is giving our generation a real gift in raising up leaders who are teaching us about better nutrition, essential oils and other natural methods that can help us live a fuller, more active life in service to God and to our brothers and sisters all over the world. What a blessing to feel good and have energy to be a blessing to others.
So what's one step you will be taking to improve your health? Come on, inspire us!

• DMACK scores first ever WRC stage victory on Tarmac.
• Top British driver Elfyn Evans finishes sixth in season opener.
• Best finish for DMACK in Monte Carlo.
• New DMACK asphalt tyres deliver world-class performance.
After six full seasons of competition, the opening round of the 2017 FIA World Rally Championship saw DMACK score its first-ever fastest stage time on Tarmac, when a sealed-surface performance boost on the iconic Rallye Monte Carlo enabled the tyre firm to win three of Saturday's five special stages.
Elfyn Evans and co-driver Daniel Barritt surprised the WRC regulars after storming to the top of the time sheets on three separate occasions. Their sixth place finish was DMACK's top result on Monte and proof that its new asphalt and winter tyres have made massive leaps forward in performance.
The traditional season-opener lived up to its reputation, with competitors facing a range of fearsome winter conditions across the stages in the French Alps. After enduring a difficult day on Friday, when he struggled to get to grips with the hard-packed, icy roads, Evans turned it around on Saturday's five stages to the south-west of host town Gap.
He scored DMACK's first fastest time on stage 10, then stormed through stage 12 to finish 7.4 seconds ahead of his nearest rival - team-mate, four-time world champion and eventual rally winner Sebastien Ogier. And on stage 13, a flat-out blast on clean, dry asphalt roads, Evans blitzed the pack again to dominate the day.
It was a real British success story. The winning combination of Evans, Barritt, DMACK's British-built tyres and M-Sport's Cumbrian-made Ford Fiesta WRC was the star of a super, snowy Saturday.
The result was down to the newly-launched range of DMACK Grippa tyres for the 2017 season. Packed full of performance upgrades, including a new tread pattern, wider profile and latest compounds, Evans won stages using the studded DMT-ICE2 winter tyre and the DMT-RC22 asphalt tyre in both XS6+ (extra soft) and S6+ (soft) compounds.
It was an historic event for DMACK with every single type of tyre nominated for the event demonstrating huge strides forward and confirming a new level of confidence in the range of world-class asphalt products.
Rallye Monte Carlo saw crews flagged off from a glitzy opening ceremony in Casino Square on Thursday evening. Competitors tackled 13 stages around the French town of Gap, before heading south for the final four stages today.
The event saw DMACK start its seventh consecutive season as authorised tyre supplier to the WRC and once again the challenging conditions ensured tyre strategy played a critical role in the result.
Dick Cormack, DMACK managing director, said: "Last season saw our gravel products challenge for WRC victories and this year has started exceptionally well for our Tarmac tyres. We have to be pleased with the result on what has been some of the toughest Monte conditions for a few years, it's a big step forward for us. Elfyn has driven exceptionally well all weekend and huge congratulations are due to M-Sport for winning on the debut of their new Fiesta."
Elfyn Evans, DMACK WRC driver, said: "It's a fantastic start to the season for us. We didn't have a great day on Friday but Saturday's performance more than made up for that and really raised some eyebrows. I was very happy with my driving and the feeling with the car and tyres was really positive. It was easy to work with Daniel again, everything gelled together right from the start."
