About the reserve
Nutfield Marsh lies in the vale of Holmesdale between the North Downs and the Greensand Ridge and comprises of three wetland nature reserves - The Moors, Spynes Mere, and Holmethorpe Lagoons. These reserves were restored from sand workings along the Redhill Brook and now support a myriad of wetland wildlife.
The Moors
Although this reserve has no public access, a footpath transects the site. Situated along Redhill Brook, this 21 hectare wetland nature reserve floods from the Redhill Brook during winter and on occasions this creates one large lake, which the footpath crosses. When this happens you feel as if you are walking on water!
Ducks such as mallard and teal flock to feed on the winter flood, whilst moorhen and the shy water rail also creep through the waterside vegetation. Grazed grassland also provides the right habitat for skylark and lapwing to nest.
In autumn, snipe and other waders arrive for winter, whilst in summer the pools are alive with small damselflies such as the banded demoiselle and dragonflies like the southern hawker and emperor. Stickleback, washed in by the flood, provide food for kingfishers and grey herons.
Around the pools the flowers of yellow flag are followed by purple loosestrife and creamy meadowsweet, as well as sedges, rushes and bur reed - a favorite food of water voles.
On the drier meadows cowslip and trefoil, oxeye daisy and yarrow attract feeding bees and butterflies.
Spynes Mere
Spynes Mere is a wetland nature reserve of 14 ha, created from restored sand workings by WBB Minerals, who lease the site to the Wildlife Trust. Before sand was extracted the area was farmland.
Spynes is a very old word, in use before the Norman Conquest to describe the area. It means 'summer fattening pasture'. Today, Spynes Mere comprises of three lakes, which flow into the Redhill Brook.
The biggest lake is home to many waterbirds. They are at their greatest numbers in winter, when tufted duck, gadwall, mallard and the occasional pochard ducks can be found, together with mute swans, little grebes, coot, moorhens and greylag geese. See if you can spot the grey gadwall ducks who quite literally mug the coots when they bob back up to the surface, having dived for waterplants to feed on.
In spring and summer, look out for young waterbirds, in particular the striped humbug-like little grebe riding on the back of their parents. Also listen out for sedge warblers, reed buntings and water rails hidden amongst the swampy vegetation.
In warm sunny weather, the site is alive with dragonflies and damselflies patrolling their territories and egg laying on the water.
Holmethorpe Lagoons
Holmethorpe Lagoon is a Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI) and home to over 144 bird species, including 58 breeding pairs.

Beginning with James Marshall's The Three Little Pigs (1989); complete with Marshall's sarcasm, pig eating, wolf trickery, pig trickery and the wolf BOILED IN A POT (and eaten by the pig) of course.
Next we have Paul Galdone's The Three Little Pigs (1970). (BTW, if you're looking for classic and wonderful fairy tale picture books he's your man- if you don't believe me, ask Vanessa.) Again we've got the first two pigs being eaten, wolf trying to trick piggy number three, piggy number three out witting wolf and yes, the pig eats the wolf for supper.
Any fans of Aurelius Battaglia out there? Here we have his Three Little Pigs (1977). (I especially LOVE the way he illustrates wolfy- it's really wonderful!) Again we have the first two pigs eaten up, BUT this version leaves out all the turnip picking trickery from the first two and its not clear what happens to wolfy after he's boiled alive... but it is clear that pig number 3 lives happily ever after!
Here's the story from my childhood favorite anthology (Dean's) A Book of Fairy Tales (1977 edition), illustrated by Janet & Anne Grahame Johnstone. Oh how I love love love these cute little swine! In this classic retelling all the pigs get away from the wolf (run piggy run!) the whole part with the turnips and trickery IS in this tale, the wolf does fall into the boiling pot- BUT he jumps out quickly, dashes out the door and into the forest never to be seen again. All three pigs live happily ever after in the safe little brick house. Lucky pigs.
I wanted to add all four different illustration interpretations of Mr. BIG BAD himself. Isn't it fun to look at them all side by side? I love this kind of stuff, is that weird of me?
I realize that there are MANY MANY other classic/vintage amazing beautifully illustrated versions out there in the world. These four were the ones I came up with for today. What did I miss? Do you have a version I should place on my wish list?
PS Don't forget to learn from these little pigs... It's best to do the job right the first time rather than being eaten by a wolf who will later be eaten by your brother. (Which kinda means that your brother will eat you, in a round about way.) Just saying.

Nottinghamshire's country parks and gardens are always a popular place to explore outdoors and take in a breath of fresh air. With some attractions open almost all year round, our country parks and gardens are great if you want a family day out with a picnic in the summer, get active on a bike or foot, spot wildlife and enjoy annual events and festivals.
Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve extends over 450 acres and incorporates slender birch trees alongside more than one thousand veteran oaks, most of which are over 500 years old. The largest and most famous of these is the Major Oak which still produces acorns after standing at the heart of Sherwood Forest for an amazing 800 years!
Of course, this Forest is the legendary home of Robin Hood – and the site of one of the county's most popular FREE festivals, the annual Robin Hood Festival.
Browse around the visitor centre shops or relax after a stroll at the Forest Table Restaurant. Take a walk along one of the fun family nature trails, or just admire the weird and wonderful shapes of the ancient oak trees, twisted by age and weathered into living sculptures.
Sherwood Forest has a unique ecology system: the natural decay of fallen wood means the woodland teems with insect life, fungi, birds and bats. In partnership with the Sherwood Trust, a woodland grazing project featuring Hebridean sheep and Dexter cattle ensures that open areas of medieval heathland do not revert to scrub. It's little wonder that Sherwood Forest Country Park welcomes around 500,000 visitors each year.
Sherwood Pines Forest Park is the largest forest open to the public in the East Midlands with over 3,300 acres to discover.
It's a centre for a wide variety of outdoor activities, so you can choose to explore on foot, on two wheels with numerous cycle paths, or high in the trees at Go Ape Tree Top Adventure. The Visitor Centre is at the heart of it all with a cafe, cycle hire and children's adventure play trail available.
Now open all year round to the public, this National Trust treasure was once seat to the Duke of Newcastle and features over 3800 acres of land to roam. A Site of Specific Scientific Interest, there are over 120 types of tree, including the stunning Lime Tree Avenue. A variety of activities await at Clumber, from permanent orienteering courses to the woodland adventure park. Check out the walled kitchen garden for some delicious homegrown veg, browse the second-hand bookshop, or get active on the Clumber ParkRun! Stroll around the grounds or hire a bike or tandem to get around - there are over 20 miles of cycle routes to follow so this is a great way to explore more! Afterwards you can relax at The Garden Tea-House, enjoy a picnic or bring along a BBQ to use at their designated BBQ pitch.
Standing on a natural hill, only three miles west of Nottingham city centre, Wollaton Hall is a flamboyant 16th century Elizabethan mansion set in a scenic 500 acre historic deer park. The Hall, in 2012, became internationally famous as 'Batman's pad' when it starred as Wayne Manor in The Dark Knight Rises.
Throughout all the seasons, the park is a popular visitor attraction. In summer, enjoy the glorious sunshine and kick back with a picnic with your friends or family, and in winter wrap up warm and take to the hills on your sleigh!
Discover local history in the Nottingham Industrial Museum, explore the caves underneath the Hall, or enjoy a tour inside the Hall where you will find Tudor kitchens, prospect room, salon, dining room, bird room and the natural connections gallery - which is in addition to the exhibitions inspired by art and science in the Yard Gallery.
In its 900 year history the land at Rufford Park transformed from Cistercian monestry to country house, making for a very interesting display of buildings that reflect different uses and eras of the land. The land was bought by Nottinghamshire County Council in 1952 and transformed into a county park for visitors to enjoy. Today you can wander a variety of independent shops selling local produce and artisan wares, along with two cafes and an ice-cream parlour. One of Nottinghamshire's best loved country parks, a brilliant family day out can be had at Rufford, with boats to hire on the lake, adventure golf, archery at weekends and a children's playground. Admission is free but parking charges do apply.
Kelham Hall & Country Park is a magnificent Victorian house, built in 1863, set within 44 acres of gardens and parklands and located in the heart of Nottinghamshire.
It has a rich history as the ancestral home of the Manners-Sutton family, along with its use as a theological college for an Anglican Order of Monks. The distinct design features of renowned architect Sir George Gilbert Scott make it a fascinating place to visit.
This traditional Japanese garden provides beautiful surroundings with a pond, pagoda, waterfall, bridges, stream, stone lantern, maple trees, cherry trees, bamboos, irises and water lilies. Visitors to the garden enjoy the peace which reflects the harmony of nature and the inner self of man. Meditation and relaxation tuition and courses are held here all year round.
Make sure to add to your calendar the annual Pure Land Lantern Lit Evenings – Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in August and September. The evening honours an ancient and venerable Japanese tradition and is a truly magical experience.
Newstead Abbey is a beautiful historic house set in a glorious landscape of gardens and parkland within the heart of Nottinghamshire. The Abbey was once home to the notorious romantic poet Lord Byron, from 1808 – 1814, and visitors can explore the Victorian room settings and the poets private apartments.
Explore more than 300 acres of gardens and parkland at the Abbey where paths meander past lakes, ponds and waterfalls. The formal gardens are the perfect place to relax and offer something in all seasons.
Mentioned in the Doomsday Book, this 650 acre park, on the northern fringe of Nottingham, boasts an incredible variety of different wildlife habitats. From Mill Lakes teeming with water birds, to meadows full of wild flowers, ancient oak woodland and a reclaimed coal tip, Bestwood has a landscape which reflects the varied history of Nottinghamshire itself. For example, the Winding Engine House, a splendid piece of industrial archaeology, is a memorial to the coal mining industry which was once extremely important to our economy.
Set in the beautiful south Nottinghamshire countryside within easy access of Nottingham, the country park has around five miles of footpaths to explore and enjoy. With many diverse settings including a lake, woodland and meadow, the park is an absolute delight! If you're feeling peckish during your exploration, why not visit the highly regarded cafe which is available on site?

Madchen Amick will join the cast of CSI: NY in a recurring role later this season, TVGuide.com has confirmed.
Check out photos of the CSI: NY castAmick, perhaps best known for her roles in Twin Peaks and NBC's short-lived My Own Worst Enemy, will play a love interest for Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise). CBS isn't saying how Amick's character crosses paths with Mac or when her first episode will air.Mac's love life has been a bit nonexistent since Season 3, when he hooked up with medical examiner Peyton Driscoll (Claire Forlani). That romance fizzled when Peyton left Mac and returned to her native England.
See photos of Amick's past rolesAmick also recently had guest gigs on Californication and Gossip Girl.

Working against the clock to prevent the destruction of one of the world's most recognisable cities, the Rainbow operatives take to the chaotic streets of Las Vegas during an escalating terrorist siege. With global security hanging in the balance, you must defend against and counter the threat at iconic locations like Fremont Street, the Strip and its famous casinos.
Making its PlayStation 3 debut, the acclaimed first person shooter series packs a serious punch with a wealth of next generation features, new characters and compelling storylines.
Logan Keller is the new team leader and reconnaissance expert, backed by Michael Walter, heavy weapons and demolition, and Jung Park, a sniper and electronics specialist. This new team mix emphasises tactical gameplay, testing your ability to get the most out of each individual's talents.
Planning is the key to successfully tackling the terrorist threat but, with the clock ticking, a fine balance between action and preparation must be struck. Before a mission, multiple paths through environments can be signalled to your teammates and adversaries can be tagged for them to handle. In the midst of the mission meanwhile, real time briefings and intelligence updates make urgency essential.
Motion-captured action has been used to create realistic movement, including rappelling, window entry and blind-cover fire, while sophisticated Artificial Intelligence pits you against skilled enemies who work together as a group to counter your every move. These elements provide a depth of realism beyond the beautifully rendered and highly lavish environments.
About Tom Clancy
One of the World's most recognised authors, Tom Clancy's books have sold over 80 million copies worldwide and include fiction titles such as The Hunt for Red October, Clear and Present Danger, The Sum of All Fears and Rainbow Six.
• Take charge of the Rainbow operatives, inspired by Tom Clancy's bestselling books
• Pit your tactical skills against responsive A.I. in time crucial missions
• Create your own multiplayer character that evolves as you play online
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas
Las Vegas, the glamorous city of sin and gambling just got a little bit more dangerous. A terrorist organisation is conducting attacks against this glitzy backdrop and it's up to the elite Rainbow counter-terrorist unit to stop them. You control Logan Keller, the recently appointed head of a brand new Rainbow team as he attempts to come to terms with his responsibilities while protecting Las Vegas from the biggest threat it has ever faced.
Viva Las Vegas
Gameplay takes the form of a first person shooter, with a distinct tactical flavour. Holding L1 allows you to take cover behind walls and objects, and pressing a direction allows you to pop out from behind cover to take well aimed potshots at your enemies with R1. If you remain behind cover and hit R1 with no direction you can fire blindly around the corner, useful for suppressing enemy attacks. This is in addition to your arsenal of smoke bombs, frag grenades and flash bangs.
You're not going into battle alone either, as you're accompanied on your missions by a two-man Fireteam, under your complete command. Most of your team's actions are controlled with the X button. Target a door and hit the X button and you move your team into position. You are then given a list of options for how to proceed, ranging from laying down suppressing fire to clearing the room with a grenade. You can even slide a fibre-optic camera under the door, scout out enemy positions and assign targets to different team members. Of course, you can also completely ignore this and run in all guns blazing - it's completely up to you how you choose to play the game.
Stick or twist?
That said, the stealthy path is certainly the easier way to go. A new feature to the series is an overshield health system, whereby you regenerate health when you are not taking fire. Taking a hit also blurs your vision and impairs your hearing for a short time, meaning you have to take cover fast if you want to survive. It gives Rainbow Six Vegas a much more realistic feel than a lot of first person shooters, and gives you a sense of genuine danger every time you enter a gunfight.
And what gunfights they are. The game features over 40 real world weapons, including pistols, sub-machine guns, assault rifles and shotguns and enough explosives to keep a demolitions team going for weeks. The sound effects are loud and immersive, and the environmental effects, enemy Artificial Intelligence and team commands all add to the feeling that you are engaged in a life or death struggle to survive.
You can experience it all online too, with up to 16 players and an impressively exhaustive array of options and 20 different maps. As you play online, your character earns experience points and rises in rank, through a total of 17 levels. As you rise in rank, you are able to use different equipment and weapons. This system lets you customise your character a lot more, but doesn't put new players at a disadvantage, perfect for online play.
There are 10 multiplayer game modes, including four never before seen in a Rainbow Six game: Attack & Defend, Co-op Campaign, Assassination, and Conquest. Each mode can also be customised to your liking, letting you change options such as the amount of times each player can respawn and what kind of equipment and weapons you can use on each level.Add the great multiplayer game to an already impressive single player outing and you have a package that is sure to delight Rainbow Six fans as well as those new to the franchise. Factor in a brilliant, gripping storyline, beautiful graphics and compelling gameplay and here's one trip to Las Vegas you're definitely going to want to make.

Horror scenes: "It was if they were queuing to die"
A horrific scene found by horse rescue personnel in Britain has been described as on a par with the notorious Amersham horse rescue of five years ago.
Redwings Horse Sanctuary, which still has 63 horses, ponies and donkeys in its care from the infamous Amersham rescue from Spindles Farm in January 2008, is involved in another rescue involving horses it said were effectively "queuing to die".
Twenty-six horses arrived in Norfolk on Thursday night as part of the rescue operation.
Caerphilly Borough Council's Trading Standards Department led the rescue from two sites in Caerphilly, with expert help given by Redwings.
Redwings sent three trucks, two veterinarians and eight handling staff to the site yesterday to bring back the 26 horses and ponies to Norfolk.
Four have been taken to HorseWorld in Bristol, while four more suspected to be linked to those responsible have already been removed to the SWHP charity in Monmouth.
Redwings said it took part in many welfare cases involving individual horses and groups. However, this case was easily on a par with the Amersham rescue where living horses were found among carcasses.
The high profile rescue from the Amersham farm shocked everyone and made international news.
Redwings' head of welfare, Nic de Brauwere, a veterinarian, said of the latest rescue: "It was a horrific scene, with many extremely weak and malnourished ponies.
"There was virtually no grass, so while the site appeared very scenic, there was little or nothing for them to eat.
"They are in varying stages of emaciation; we have given them a condition rating which matches the Amersham horses.
"Some of the horses are already dead, and others would almost certainly have died if we had not intervened when we did.
"I can only describe it by saying it was as if they were queuing to die. It was an utterly depressing and heart-breaking scene I hoped I would never have to witness again."
The 26 animals in the worst condition were removed on Wednesday and, the following day, made the journey to Norfolk to begin their rehabilitation. It was felt that recent cold weather had worsened the pitiful condition of these horses.
Councillor David Poole, cabinet member for community and leisure services at Caerphilly County Borough Council said: "I am appalled that these horses and ponies could be kept in conditions such as these, and this was an excellent example of a local authority working with animal welfare organisations to protect animals in need.
"The operation was a success and I'd like to thank all concerned for their efforts. These horses are now receiving expert care to get them back to health."
De Brauwere said Redwings was operating at capacity.
"It has not been easy for us to take 26 horses in and bear all the necessary expenses associated with their care and expert rehabilitation.
"We are so grateful to HorseWorld and SHWP as without their assistance with transport and housing we may simply not have been able to help. But this is why the equine charities are here, and this is what our supporters help us to do.
"It's just awful to find yourself again separating the dead horses from the living and asking yourself how anyone can let this happen."
To donate towards the care of the Caerphilly ponies, text code RWHS00 followed by the amount you want to give (for example, RWHS00 £5) to 70070, visit www.redwings.co.uk/donating or telephone 01508 481000.

With the upcoming changes to the NFQ National Quality Framework, it is important to begin preparations – especially if you are interested in selling a childcare centre. While the deadlines are in October 2017 and February 2018, planning now for these changes could create a big selling point for your centre.
There are several changes coming to the National Quality Framework which aim to improve the childcare industry. Australian Childcare Alliance gives this overview of the important changes:
- A revised National Quality Standard (NQS) to strengthen quality through greater clarity, remove conceptual overlap between elements and standards, clarify language and reduce the number of standards and elements from 18 standards to 15, and 58 to 40 elements.
- A reduction in documentation requirements for children over preschool age attending early childhood education and care to reduce the administrative burden for these services (applies in Queensland, NSW and NT only).
- Introducing a national educator to child ratio of 1:15 for services providing education and care to school age children to align with Queensland's current requirement for OSHC services.
- Removing supervisor certificate requirements so service providers have more autonomy in deciding who can be the responsible person in each service, and to reduce red tape.
- Improving oversight of the FDC sector with requirements that predominantly align with Queensland's current regulatory practices with a focus on maintaining the safety and well-being of children.
- Requiring all early childhood education and care services to have sleep and rest policies and procedures for children and infants in response to a recommendation from a Queensland coronial inquest.
In addition to those listed above, there are other changes planned for the framework. Therefore, it is important to read through the complete list to understand what changes need to be implemented in the childcare centre to meet the new requirements.
As a seller, why should you begin to plan now?
Well, these changes are not just going to happen overnight – adjustments need to be made well in advance, as you may have to readjust practices, paperwork, policies and possibly staff. If you are planning on selling your childcare centre in the next few months it may be tempting to leave these changes to the new owner, but it could be a major selling point if you prepare the business beforehand.
Effects of Regulation Changes
With these changes to regulation, NQS (National Quality Standard) ratings could be affected. Purchasers are more interested in centres that meet or exceed NQS requirements than those that need work to bring them in line with the new framework. If your centre does not meet the new requirements, buyers may not want to expend the extra effort required to bring the centre up to a competitive standard. Having a plan already in place for how the centre aims to meet the new NQS requirements would be a major selling point, as this means less work for the eventual purchaser.
The NQS rating of childcare centres is displayed on the national registers along with the Starting Blocks and MyChild websites. This means that when parents are researching childcare centres, they can compare services easily. Not only that but if your centre has a good rating they can display the logo on their website – a clear comparison of centre quality for parents and purchasers alike. Being prepared early may give you a competitive advantage over other neighbouring centres as you can be ready to improve or uphold your rating from the day the new requirements begin.
If you are interested in buying or selling a childcare centre, it is important to consider these changes and how they could affect the sale. By preparing early and implementing changes well ahead of the deadlines your childcare centre should be more appealing to purchasers.

Heritage Breeds
An online platform for a fresh, premium egg brand
We eat a lot of eggs, so were
eggstatic only too happy to create a platform for Noble Foods newest product, Heritage Breeds.
The brand, which is aimed at the premium end of the market, features beautifully golden yolks and smooth pastel shells, making them incredibly photogenic – great for Instagram and blogposts!
As a newcomer to the supermarket shelves, the emphasis had to be on authenticity and quality nature of the product.
We built a site which was more than a showcase for the products but which will grow into a go-to hub for all things egg related – tips, recipes and more. We partnered with Spider PR, who managed the ongoing content schedule, ensuring the blog would be filled with inspiring content from influencers, bakers and chefs alike, as well as stories about the farm, heritage and husbandry.
They demonstrated admirable efficiency, creativity and technical know-how to deliver an effective and creative result.

Oscar-Worthy Baby Names
Break out the champagne and the fancy hors d'oeuvres—today's my version of the Superbowl, the Oscars. While the number of nominated films I get to see (at least in the non-animated categories) has fallen exponentially since I had kids, I'm always excited to check out the fashions and start crafting my own imaginary acceptance speech.
But while I love Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Lawrence and all the other nominees, watching the Oscars always makes me nostalgic for my old-school favorite movies, often starring legendary actors who never even scored an Oscar. (Cary Grant only scored an honorary Oscar for all of his years starring in amazing films like His Girl Friday and Philadelphia Story; Marilyn Monroe never scored one either, despite hilarious turns in Some Like It Hot and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.)
If you're a big movie buff, there are plenty of wonderful names to consider among past (and current) honorees—here are some of my favorites.
You can't go wrong with Meryl Streep, nominated yet again this year for her role in August: Osage County. She's scored the most total nominations, with 18—and three wins among them. Her name is a variant of Muriel, which means "of the sea."
Bette Davis was the first woman to receive 10 nominations—and had five consecutive, along with fellow actress Greer Garson. Bette is a variant of Elizabeth, which means consecrated to God.
Walt Disney won the most Oscars, with 22 victories. His name is short for Walter, a German name that means ruler, and is currently on an upsurge.
The legendary costume designer Edith Head is known as the most-honored woman in Oscar history, with 7 wins, including two for Roman Holiday and Sabrina, where she outfitted the equally legendary Audrey Hepburn. Edith means prosperous in war, and is currently on a bit of an uptick and in the top 800 names.
Katharine Hepburn is the winningest actress with four acting awards—and an inspiration for my daughter's name. Katharine means pure. Her true love, Spencer Tracy, was among the first to win twice consecutively. His name, Spencer, means steward, and is currently in the top 250 names for boys.
And last but not least, Marlon Brando was a legendary actor who scored the most consecutive nominations with four in a row. His name's origin is a bit of a mystery, but the name is currently in the top 700 in the U.S. Some more adventurous namers have chosen Brando instead to honor the Oscar winner.
What's your favorite Oscar-related name? Share it in the comments! (And see what other Oscar-related name I picked for the Cool Name of the Week.)

Good News Thursday!!!
To listen to this weeks song for meditation, Click on If We Had Your Eyes by Michelle Williams
I wrote this blog over a year ago, and I still believe this stands true to this day. May you be blessed.
If we could really grasp what the scripture is saying, and take ourselves out of the equation and really just listen to someone else, we'd probably eliminate being offended and angry.
Believe me when I say, it is truly a blessing to be able to speak and express ourselves, but it is even more beneficial to sit back and just listen.
If you have mastered this unique skill set, then you possess some advantages that some of us may not be aware of. But for those who have not Lets Explore in five steps:
1. When you listen wholeheartedly to someone else, you show them that you really care about what they have to say and in return you gain their Respect.
2. Conscious listening helps you get a better understanding of someone else's likes and dislikes. You get to know them better, and you gather more Information about ones character.
Note: Have you ever thought about the people you may know and realize that you really don't know anything detailed or personal about them? And I'm not talking surface stuff.
3. We may not always express this statement, but people like people who listen. When you listen to others, you Increase Your Likability. Also, when you listen to other people, you may find that you like them even more.
Note: Have you ever come into contact with someone and thought "they're just not my cup of tea." and then you sit down and listen to them and discover that you have a lot in common.
4. Listening to others allows you to develop an intimate and more meaningful relationship. A bond that's not easily broken. You develop Better Relationships when you listen. And you create a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere for the one who wishes to share.
5. Being prayerful while listening to others, will give you Greater Clarity, and help you get a clear understanding of where that individual is coming from. When you pray, you allow God to speak through you and directly to that individuals heart, where there will be no misunderstanding or confusion of what is being said.
Remember, to become good at something, you must acknowledge God and put it into practice and with so many adults and children feeling that they're not be heard today, you should be able to get started right away.
Here's To Your Spiritual Health!!!

How have you been created to worship? We would love to have a conversation about what you are observing in your life, and how God may be inviting you to engage in our community of worship here at Monte Vista Chapel. It may be unclear as to what he is calling you, but that is ok. We serve to partner with you in listening to His voice. Our encouragement is to remain open to His process. Be honest with God and yourself and really try not to discount the value of your offering. We would love to help you sort through the questions that come up and find a way to serve in worship together at Monte Vista Chapel.
Mission and Vision:
We serve in support of the MVC mission and vision statement of "Christ in us, Christ through us". In doing so our ministry exists to shepherd the worshipping community of Monte Vista Chapel into a reality of life in the fullness of God's love. Our motion in this vision is to both invite and introduce our community through worship, to the One who calls them beloved. It is our ambition to lead from a heart of humility, of spirit and of truth that enfolds others into His love and celebrates His glory here and now in the Kingdom of God on earth.
At the heart of worship at Monte Vista Chapel is proclaiming the gospel of Jesus' love, reminding each other of His invitation to Him and sharing together of His faithfulness. Of course, we are not the only ministry doing this at Monte Vista Chapel, and that is what makes the many types of service and outreach so powerful… Music, art, creative expression, Treehouse club, recovery, small groups, bible study, Tru clubs, student ministries, mom's club, grief support, and missions. All of these are not people simply gathered to do a task. We are the ones called to be alongside in real life together, and when we find ourselves in a living encounter with God's love, He is recognized. 1 John 4:19 reminds that "We love because He first loved us" and our hope is to offer ourselves from the abundance of love that we have experienced in Him as His beloved children. That reality is "singing praise" and "telling of His glory" and it can happen in so many ways throughout our daily lives!
It is our prayer that life together could radiate with praise to God as we turn towards Him understanding how He is never far from us and are reminded that we are His beloved. Our invitation is to allow yourself to be present with Him. Really allow yourself to be in a relationship with the Father who loves you so deeply. There in His presence, discover peace, courage, comfort, and joy in His new way. Become awestruck by His glory and respond to Him with your life in worship. Music, visual art and all of the forms of creative expression are part of the great tapestry that God has created for us to praise Him, worship Him, know Him and reflect Him to the world around us.
What we're all about!
Sing to the Lord, all the earth! Tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place.
Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; bring an offering and come before him!
Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; Tremble before him, all the earth;
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let them say among the nations,
"The Lord reigns!"
– 1 Chronicles 16:23-31

5 Black Hat SEO Tactics You Must Avoid
By Tim Brown
A black hat and tie affair might sound fancy, but in the world of SEO it's a party you don't want to attend. Black hat tactics are attempts to improve a site's ranking in a circumventive way. When website owners try to trick search engines into ranking their site highly without building in quality content, they often get penalized by Google and other search engines. When creating your website, if you use black hat SEO to attract new mobile visitors, your efforts are sure to backfire. Whether you build a site from scratch or use mobile site builder software, the rules are the same. Here are five tactics to avoid so that you will keep your site in good standing with Google:
1. Don't Stuff Keywords
You want to bring in new mobile searchers the right way: by providing useful content that matches their search queries. When you include lots of popular search terms just for the sake of including them, you are stuffing keywords into your content. Repeating keywords results in content that is awkward for your guests to read and is considered a black hat tactic because it doesn't add actual value to your page. On the contrary, keyword stuffing only attempts to trick search engines into serving up your site to more users.
Google rewards natural-sounding content and punishes too much keyword repetition. A good rule of thumb is to use one keyword for about every 100 to 150 words of content.
2. Don't Use Unrelated Keywords
Some people try to fool Google by incorporating popular terms into their content that do not directly relate to the general theme of the page. This is a sophomoric grab for extra Web hits. For example, say the focus of your site is custom car overhauls. Adding words that are popular search terms on Google such as "Donald Trump," "cat videos," and "Indy 500" will generate more search engine results for your page. However, this will only be a short-term boon. Google will quickly discover your ploy and your ranking will suffer accordingly. Stick with legitimate, quality content. Google always rewards quality.
3. Don't Mirrorthe Content
Be original. That is to say, keep repeated and borrowed content to a minimum. Build a responsive website that transitionsnaturally to different devices instead of creating a separate mobile site that displays the same information. At the very least, your desktop and mobile websites should point to the same URL; otherwise, you may be penalized for duplicate content.Google discourages the reuse of content across multiple sites, so it's best to create a single, mobile-responsive website. Never paste the exact same text across multiple pages, even if you own the content and have the right to redistribute it. The same holds true for using content from sites other than your own. It is OK to quote; just do it sparingly and always cite your source. When in doubt, paraphrase so that Google recognizes it as original content.
4. Don't Stuff Links
Providing valuable links is a good way to increase SEO on your mobile site, but link stuffing is considered among the worst black hat techniques in SEO. Inbound links are a critical variable for Google's ranking formula—provided they are natural. Don't post irrelevant links, purchased links, or become a part of a link farm. Link farms consist of sites or pages that exist just to link to each other, or may contain link directories with irrelevant URLs. As long as the links you include lead to relevant content on a quality website, you can maintain strong mobile SEO.
5. Don't Add Hidden or Invisible Text
Having text that search engines can see but your readers cannot is highly frowned upon. Hidden text is a black hat SEO technique that relates closely to keyword stuffing. For example, adding extra or irrelevant keywords in white text on a white background will attract Google's spiders. However, your site will soon feel the wrath as search engines catch on to your ploy. You may enjoy a quick spike in traffic, but your ranking will be reduced in due time. Build your site the right way. Provide quality content. Don't trick your guests or the search engines. The only time that you should incorporate any text that the viewers can't see is in image tags and titles. Even then, use legitimate keywords that directly relate to your content.
When you are building your webpage, you should never be left asking, "What is black hat SEO?" It's vital to learn the basics so you can keep attracting visitors the right way. Protect your Google ranking and your website's reputation by sticking to white hat SEO and avoiding common pitfalls that lead to search engine penalties. Write quality content that integrates keywords naturally, don't post spam links, and optimize your images with appropriate names. Also, avoid scams that claim to build your site for you; they don't have your best interests in mind. Instead, they specialize in black hat practices like the ones mentioned above. If you use Google-approved SEO tactics, your site can gain new traffic in no time.

Bat-Dor Dance Company
Quick Reference
Israeli dance company based in Tel Aviv, co-founded by Baroness Bethsabee de Rothschild and the South African dancer Jeannette Ordman. It made its debut in 1968 under the direction of Ordman, who was also its leading dancer. The company acquired a broad repertoire of modern works by choreographers including Tudor, van Dantzig, Lubovitch, Ailey, Jamison, and the Israeli choreographers Domy Reiter-Soffer, Igal Perry, and Ido Tadmor. After the death of Martha Graham it also acquired the performing rights to some of her works. However it was always in competition with Batsheva Dance Company (also originally founded by Rothschild), and after Rothschild's death, Bat-Dor suffered extreme financial difficulties. It closed down in 2001, although Ordman continued to run its associate school.

PONTIAC — Detroit is not ruled by Sharia Law, instead a Bill of Rights, a U.S. Constitution, an outward perception of equality between men and women.
But a former domestic violence social worker for victims and batterers, and the chief executive officer of a domestic and sexual violence prevention organization in Pontiac see it as a mirage, that there are deeper gender inequalities engrained in society that continue to seep into homes and relationships, surfacing in the form of violence.
Six lives were lost this week in Metro Detroit — three men, three women.
A domestic homicide-suicide committed by a male in each of the deaths in Detroit, Inkster and White Lake since Monday is the suspected cause.
About 9 p.m. Monday, a boy ran to his neighbor's house
. He needed help. His stepfather, 37-year-old Jason Handy, had shot his mother, 33-year-old Lorain Handy, multiple times and turned the gun on himself.
Inkster police say, just before midnight the same date, Tony Bailey
, Cindy Bailey, inside their home, then went to the garage and lit it and himself on fire.
the former maintenance man at a medical complex on the 3800 block of Grand River in Detroit armed himself entered and, employees say, fired multiple rounds. Then the building went up in flames.
The maintenance worker and his former mistress, Sharita Williams, are believed to be the unidentified male and female corpses emergency crews retrieved from the charred rubble later that night.
Acts like these, based on one person's desire to control another, are the result of a society in which sexual equality does not exist, said Beth Morrison, the chief executive officer of
, a domestic and sexual violence prevention organization based in Pontiac.
"We still live in a society where we don't have equality between men and women," she said. "It's still a belief that is held in high regard among many.
"A husband has the right to an obedient wife."
She said, although men can be victims, domestic violence is predominantly committed by men who seek "power and control" from their partner.
The recent examples of extreme domestic violence are just a minute sampling of the acts that occur each day in Metro Detroit.
Oakland County law enforcement recorded 8,500 domestic violence incidents in 2011, according to Morrison, six of which resulted in homicides.
She believes the domestic-related homicide total is likely higher but some are not recorded, especially when the victim and killer are not married.
Morrison said domestic violence professionals estimate that only 20 to 25 percent of all domestic violence crimes are reported.
Members of the Wayne County Domestic Violence Unit could not provide domestic abuse-related statistics for Wayne County. The Prosecutor's Office said it reviewed a total of 7,324 warrants in 2011 and does not break them down by the type of crime.
"If society can get to the point where women have the same equal status of men, it would make a tremendous difference in the amount of domestic violence that happens in our communities," Morrison said.
, a Dearborn-based social worker, has worked with aggressors and victims in the Washtenaw County Jail.
She, like Morrison, said it's a "mentality," a "power-of-control thing which kind of stems from the dynamics of men and women throughout history."
Samuel has spoken at length with men — and some women — who have been jailed for domestic violence.
They tend to "blame everyone else for their problems," she said. "They minimize and justify their behavior, they manipulate people and try not to take any responsibility for their actions — if the person is upset, it's because you made them upset."
Often, signs of one of these lopsided, controlling relationships are recorded in the form of police reports, but the manipulation can take non-criminal forms and erupt equally as violently.
White Lake Police Chief Ed Harris says there was no record of domestic violence between Jason and Lorain Handy. Neither had a criminal record.
Samuel said control isn't always physical. It can involve separation from family and friends, financial controls and verbal abuse that isn't always as evident as a new bruise.
She said these are warning signs that can always ignite in violence if the controller feels their power is waning.
The perpetrators, usually men, are in denial, they "don't want to fess up to, 'I want to control my partner because I have no control over my own life,'" said Samuel.
Morrison was hesitant to call these recent examples of violence an overall "trend."
She said doesn't have the hard facts to support it.
"I would say that we've seen, over the last couple years, an increase in the intensity and frequency of really horrific violence," Morrison said. "Whether or not I am comfortable saying this is a trend...
"I don't think it's a fluke."

Lately I've had folks asking about my menu plans and how I cook. I've written about it before so if this is a repeat, or you're not interested, just skip over this post.
We rarely eat out, we prefer to eat at home. I try to do a lot of my cooking on one day. For a while, I did it on Monday but now I mostly do it on Sunday because I didn't want to give up one of my sewing days cooking. Some weeks, the menu doesn't lend itself well to the all day marathon of cooking. This week, everything is so easy that I didn't do much yesterday. Some weeks it hardly takes me any time to cook. Some weeks it takes longer but it's always my choice. I always look at the grocery store ads and try to incorporate fresh things that are on sale — such as broccoli, spinach, kale, etc. Other things that are on sale, such as chicken or roasts or canned goods, I stock up on those and freeze what needs to be frozen and stick other things in the pantry so that I rarely buy anything that isn't on sale.
If you look over my menu, be thinking about how you would fix all this and save time. Mostly I cook things that can be used in several dishes. Here are the things I will do on this week's menu:
- Spinach – We're having Spinach Salad twice so I will wash the whole bag and cut the stems, them put it into a zipper bag. We will use part of it for each salad, as well as putting it on our sandwiches instead of lettuce.
- Spaghetti Sauce – There's always leftover and this is what I cook down and use as pizza sauce.
- Eggs – The Spinach Salads each include boiled eggs, I use boiled eggs in my tuna salad and in the potato salad so on Sunday, I boiled a dozen eggs — 3 for each salad, 3 for the tuna salad and 3 for the potato salad. They will be cold and ready to peel when I am ready to use them.
- Chicken – For the grilled, I will grill more than we need because we have it for lunch. For the roasted chicken, I will roast a whole chicken and use part of it in a chicken salad on Monday of next week.
- Broccoli – I will steam twice as much as we need and the leftovers will be used in the cream of broccoli soup.
- Mexican Lasagna – It has black beans, corn, ground chicken, pasta — it's a meal in one dish. All we need to add is a salad. Because we love borracho beans, I'll serve them also . . yes, I know . . that's two beans.
My main goal is to cook a few things that can be served as leftovers. If you don't like "leftovers" per se, then divide the dish into two dishes. Take the hash brown casserole for example. Don't bake the whole thing in one dish. Put half in a smaller dish. Bake it for Thursday evening. Put the other half in another dish. Stick it in the fridge and bake it for Saturday evening.
All this cooking may seem like it takes hours and hours but it doesn't! You know that I only have 24 hours in my day. I spend a whole lot of hours in the garden, as well as a lot of hours in the sewing room. I don't spend a ton of time cooking but we always have fantastic meals!
My menu for this week is:
Spaghetti & Meatballs
Spinach Salad
Garlic Bread
Monday: (Make White Bread)
Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Tomato Soup
Grilled Chicken
Steamed Broccoli
Potato Salad
Crusty Bread
Chicken Salad (using leftover chicken over spinach salad)
Spiced Apple Rings
Mexican Lasagna
Borracho Beans
Broccoli Slaw
Tuna Salad Sandwiches
Cream of Broccoli Soup
Mexican Lasagna
Pineapple Grilled Chicken
Hash Brown Casserole
Green Beans
Rosemary Focaccia
Leftover Pizza
Hilah's Shrimp Tacos
Leftover Borracho Beans
Roasted Chicken
Leftover Hashbrown Casserole
Mustard Greens
Lambert's Rolls
The way I cook won't work for everyone and please don't try to make my methods work for you unless it looks like something you would enjoy doing. If eating out several times a week fits your lifestyle or if you don't like to cook . . don't feel bad. For us, we almost always leave a restaurant saying "Dinner at home is so much better and so much less expensive!"

How do we practise mindfullness while watching our movie?
Written by Hillary R. Hoff
According to Yoga International the physical body is the holding of material and matter which makes us, us. Our life energy that governs our biological process, from breathing to digestion to the circulation of our blood. Our prana, also known as annamaya kosha, maya meaning "made of" and anna meaning "food" or "physical matter." Thus, we are made up of what we consume and what we do with our bodies. If we literally slow down and take the time to observe what we are consuming and what we are doing.
Our third body, also known as our mental body or third sheath is responsible for our sensory and motor activities, our day-today awareness when we're usually operating "on automatic." This third layer of our bodies processes input from our five senses responds reflexively. Our awareness is focused on passively responding day-to-day, reacting from our environment rather than shaping it. We all do this or have done this at some point. Almost as if our entire body is on cruise control and we are a bunch of collective puppets being physically puppeted and controlled by our atmosphere, the people around us, and all of the energies aside from our very own (Yoga international).
Recognizing our different layers and really listening to what they are telling us. Why am I really eating this chocolate ball? Am I hungry, in need of comfort or craving sugar, bored or upset. What is my body telling me? As I eat the chocolate ball I can take a minute to give thanks and recognition that I am able to eat this and appreciate it. I can wonder who made this chocolate ball, what all the ingredients are exactly, where did all these ingredients come from? Formulating questions as I slowly take bite by bite. In mist of this self interview I can listen to my body directly. How does my body feel after every bite? Chocolate balls are easy, what about life altering decisions? I recently had a decision I made primarily based on listening to my body. Every time I went to book a flight home from my current travel location, I became very anxious and afraid I was making a wrong decision. Deep within myself, something was saying it wasn't time and it wasn't right to leave just yet. Although I miss certain aspects of my current home and have attachments to return to, my body was speaking louder than my mind. As it turns out once I came to terms with my decision to stay and not go back home just yet, other opportunities I would have never expected have come up and entirely new discoveries were made. Due to awareness of my empty space while trying to book a flight; forcing myself to disreguard what my mind (finanical fears, ego insecurities) was telling me, and to only listen to my body; my heart. I observed the feelings, accepted them and am now currently responding by doing nothing and surrendering my heart to this empty space that is speaking so loudly; this experience of surrendering has left me more mindful and tue to myself than ever before.
I will leave you with this quote to think about your own meditation, whether it be mindful, or focused; meditation while you are walking, eating, having conversations and booking flights.
"We are not compelled to meditate by some outside agent, by other people, or by God. Rather, just as we are responsible for our own suffering, so are we solely responsible for our own cure. We have created the situation in which we find ourselves, and it is up to us to create the circumstances for our release. Therefore, as suffering permeates our life, we have to do something in addition to our regular daily routine. This "something" is spiritual practice or, in other words, meditation. If we do not turn inwards and train our mind, but instead expend all our energy on arranging and rearranging the external aspects of our existence, then our suffering will continue. Our suffering has had no beginning, and if we do not adopt an effective spiritual practice, neither will it have an end." (Yoga International)
