Using banana peel to whiten teeth is the latest trend among advocates of natural dental care. If you'd like to try this cheap, natural method of teeth whitening, start with Step 1 below.
1Understand the whys and hows. Bloggers and vloggers across the internet claim to have effectively whitened their teeth in just a matter of weeks, using nothing more than a banana peel.
- They claim that minerals in the banana peel (such as potassium, magnesium and manganese) are absorbed by the teeth, making them whiter.[1] X Research source
- They also believe that using banana peel is kinder to teeth than many alternative options, as it is not abrasive (unlike many other natural whiteners).
- However, this natural remedy also has its detractors -- one Colorado dentist tested the banana peel method over a 14 day period and recorded no noticeable improvement in the whiteness of his teeth.[2] X Research source
- So the only way to know for sure is to try it out for yourself!
2Pick and peel a banana. Choose a banana from your fruit bowl -- you want it to be ripe (as this is when it contains the most minerals) but not black.
- Peel a single strip from the banana, leaving the rest of the skin intact (you can use it over the next few days).
- Try to peel the banana from bottom to top (like the monkeys do) as this leaves more of the stringy flesh attached.
3Rub the inside of the skin against your teeth. Rub the inside of the banana peel against your top and bottom teeth, until they are completely coated in a layer of banana paste.
- Once your teeth are coated, sit back and let the banana paste work its magic for approximately ten minutes.
- Try to keep your mouth open and your lips away from your teeth -- this may feel a little uncomfortable, but it will prevent the banana paste from rubbing off.
4Brush your teeth. Once the ten minutes are up, take a dry toothbrush and use it to brush the banana paste into your teeth.
- Brush using gentle circular motions, for between one and three minutes. This will help to get it into all the little nooks and crannies!
- Then wet your toothbrush and use it to rinse the banana paste from your teeth. You can use your regular toothpaste if you like.
5Repeat once a day. It's unlikely that you'll see any results after just one treatment, so continue rubbing your teeth with banana peel for up to two weeks -- hopefully you will see a difference by then.
- It can be difficult to notice changes in the color of your teeth, so it's a good idea to take a before and after picture. This way you can do a side-by-side comparison of the two.
- Don't throw away your banana peels! They make an excellent mineral compost for plants -- all you need to do is add them to your compost bin, or grind them up in your food processor and sprinkle directly over the soil.
6Try some other natural teeth whitening remedies. If banana isn't really your thing, you can turn to other natural remedies for whitening your teeth:
- Use strawberries and baking soda: A paste made from mushed up strawberries and baking soda helps to clear away surface stains and remove plaque. Simply brush the paste onto your teeth with a toothbrush for several minutes, then rinse away.
- Use lemon: The citric acid in lemon is a natural bleaching agent, therefore it can help to whiten teeth. Mix some fresh lemon juice with a little baking soda or salt and rub this mixture onto your teeth with a toothbrush -- just be sure to brush your teeth with toothpaste afterwards, as acidic lemon juice can also wear away tooth enamel.
- Eat more apples: Eating apples can help to whiten teeth, as their crunchy texture helps to remove excess food and bacteria from teeth and wipe away surface stains. The juice also contains malic acid -- an ingredient which is used in many teeth whitening products. [3] X Research source
Community Q&A
QuestionFor how many days do I have to do this?Community AnswerRepeat the process as long as you would like or until you see results. It could take at least a week or longer.
QuestionFor how many weeks do I need to use the banana peels?Community AnswerUse them until you get your desired effect.
QuestionWill the banana peel affect my teeth if it's off date but still ripe?Community AnswerIt will not harm your teeth in any way. You're good to go as long as it's not overripe.
QuestionIs it okay to do more than one of these?Community AnswerYes, they contain natural ingredients which are not harmful.
QuestionIs it safe for the banana to whiten my teeth with the peel?Community AnswerIndeed. This is a very natural way of whitening your teeth.
QuestionCan I use banana leaves instead of banana peel?Community AnswerNo, that won't produce the same results.
QuestionIs it bad for my teeth to use all three of these (strawberry and baking soda, lemon and baking soda, and banana peel) once a day?Community AnswerIt may be dangerous simply because of the acidic and corrosive components involved (mainly lemon and baking soda).
QuestionHow can I get baking soda?Community AnswerThey sell it at the grocery store, usually in the baking supplies section.
QuestionCan I use the same banana peel every day?Community AnswerNo.
QuestionWill a banana last without a peel on it?Community AnswerNo, they won't.
- Teeth whitening with banana peel will not provide an instant result. However, if you want the instant effect you can try out teeth whitening gels, pens or any other whitening kits.Thanks!
- Over-use can evoke problems like burning gums, teeth sensitivity and discomfort in the tongue.Thanks!
- Bananas (like other fruits) contain a lot of natural sugars, which can increase bacteria levels on the surface of the teeth, leading to cavities and plaque build-up. Therefore, you should always brush your teeth with toothpaste after using this treatment and avoid doing it more than once a day.Thanks!

I am very excited to be going to the Cloud Expo next week in Silicon Valley – it is always a great show and I have lots of video interviews set up. I have been to the last three east coast shows in New York – this is the first time I am going to the west coast for the event. Fuat Kircaali and his team have done a tremendous job over the years.
The following article is the first draft of my column in a new TMC publication which is timely and should be of interest to virtually everyone in tech. The website mentioned below should be working soon – it is propagating through DNS servers as I post. Hope you like it.
Updated 12/20/2011
Why a Cloud Computing Magazine? Why Now?
Cloud computing has emerged as one of the most important trends in tech along with virtualization, 4G/mobility and HTML5. Interestingly, they all grow in a symbiotic fashion. For example, the more powerful mobile devices become and the richer the media they can provide to users and the greater the growth of cloud-based services which feed these devices with information. Likewise, the greater the growth of cloud-based solutions, the greater the need for virtualized systems which help deploy compute resources more effectively.
At this point it is obvious the cloud is becoming a crucial part of the future of computing and to paraphrase Marc Benioff the Chairman & CEO of Salesforce, even if many companies could afford the software alternative to cloud-based solutions, they may not be able to afford the hardware and operating system licenses that are associated with a customer premise software install.
We all know the benefits of cloud from an OPEX versus CAPEX perspective but what is sometimes lost in the move to cloud is companies are also benefitting by being able to focus more on their core competency. Are we in the business of building data centers is a question more and more CXO titles are asking themselves and except for a handful of markets, the answer is no. And by focusing on business instead of managing server farms and software licenses, companies are able to be more nimble – scaling their compute and bandwidth needs up and down as their business needs dictate.
The reason for a magazine on the topic is clear – there should be a crucial digest disseminating news, analysis and research which decision-makers need to stay up to date on cloud trends, happenings and benefits. TMC's Cloud Computing Magazine™ is that resource. (callout)
Of course as more and more people turn to the web for news, you can expect our companion site cc-mag.com to be a great place to turn for instant information on cloud computing and moreover, the vast majority of you will receive the magazine as an emailed PDF allowing you to read it on your tablets, smartphones and PC screens.
Some of the future challenges and opportunities for cloud computing are availability/uptime, data sharing across clouds, standards, security, compliance, analytics and management. Expect TMC's Cloud Computing Magazine™ to cover all these topics and everything else IT decision-makers need to more effectively do their jobs.
I started my career in a mailroom and used the power of programming which I learned on a Commodore 64 in the early eighties to outsource my high school mailroom job and become a computer programmer and UNIX system administrator in the process. My obsession with computing really started with video games but it was the productivity associated with business computing which opened my eyes to the wonders of technology and how it can transform an organization.
Cloud is the next step in the computing transformation and has opened my eyes once again. Sure it's not a new concept – it is really just a return in a way to centralized computing which was popular on mainframes and early UNIX systems. The difference though is we now have a single term today which encapsulates a massive computing shift where applications which used to have to live on servers in a local data center are being encapsulated through virtualization and multitenancy and relocated to remote, potentially redundant data centers. The power of cloud is not just about what I have written so far, it has to do with its simplicity for the laymen to understand. Moreover the buzz around the term and popularized success stories directly translate into cloud-based solutions being more easily approved by CFOs.
In the eighties and nineties, many companies sold customer contact management software but once the term CRM became agreed upon in the mid-nineties, the industry exploded with growth. Terms matter and trends matter – expect Cloud Computing Magazine to be the one resource critical to cloud-computing purchasing decisions. We hope you subscribe today.

Belarus lies between latitudes 51° and 57° N, and longitudes 23° and 33° E. Its extension from north to south is 560 km (350 mi), from west to east is 650 km (400 mi). It is landlocked, relatively flat, and contains large tracts of marshy land.
According to a 2005 estimate by the United Nations, 40% of Belarus is covered by forests. Many streams and 11,000 lakes are found in Belarus. Three major rivers run through the country: the Neman, the Pripyat, and the Dnieper. The Neman flows westward towards the Baltic sea and the Pripyat flows eastward to the Dnieper; the Dnieper flows southward towards the Black Sea.
The highest point is Dzyarzhynskaya Hara (Dzyarzhynsk Hill) at 345 metres (1,132 ft), and the lowest point is on the Neman River at 90 m (295 ft). The average elevation of Belarus is 160 m (525 ft) above sea level.[68] The climate features mild to cold winters, with average January temperatures ranges from -4 °C (24.8 °F) in southwest (Brest) to -8 °C (17.6 °F) in northeast (Vitebsk), and cool and moist summers with an average temperature of 18 °C (64.4 °F). Belarus has an average annual rainfall of 550 to 700 mm (21.7 to 27.6 in). The country is in the transitional zone between continental climates and maritime climates.
Natural resources include peat deposits, small quantities of oil and natural gas, granite, dolomite (limestone), marl, chalk, sand, gravel, and clay. About 70% of the radiation from neighboring Ukraine's 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster entered Belarusian territory, and as of 2005 about a fifth of Belarusian land (principally farmland and forests in the southeastern provinces) continues to be affected by radiation fallout. The United Nations and other agencies have aimed to reduce the level of radiation in affected areas, especially through the use of caesium binders and rapeseed cultivation, which are meant to decrease soil levels of caesium-137.
Belarus borders five countries: Latvia to the north, Lithuania to the northwest, Poland to the west, Russia to the north and the east, and Ukraine to the south. Treaties in 1995 and 1996 demarcated Belarus's borders with Latvia and Lithuania, but Belarus failed to ratify a 1997 treaty establishing the Belarus-Ukraine border. Belarus and Lithuania ratified final border demarcation documents in February 2007.

"Let it grow, let it grow,
Let it blossom let it flow,
In the rain and in the snow…
Plant your love and let it grow." Eric Clapton
Well here we are in 2012. Welcome to a very transformative time on planet Earth.
The month of January is a fertile time for sowing the seeds of intention and fortifying tender shoots. Be very clear and be open to affirmations. Endeavors which involve transformation and innovation will receive support.
It is a good month to examine daily routines and how they contribute to or detract from the ongoing creation of good health. Identify unproductive habits related to work, lifestyle, diet and move in a more vibrant direction. Apply innovative approaches and methods.
When frustrations occur or tempers flare, regard it as an opportunity to interact in a new way rather than automatically responding with an old perspective.
Significant time frames and dates for the month:
The Full Moon falls on 1/9 at 18 degrees of Cancer. This Moon is related to the recent eclipses in Cancer and Capricorn. It involves the evolution of matters concerning home, family, ancestry, ancestral inheritance as well as the dream life and its correlation to the mundane world. Under the light of this full Moon it bodes well to contemplate these areas of life. It is a good time to ask for advice from ancestors.
January 8 – 14 Mercury will conjunct Pluto in Capricorn. It bodes well to think about how some traditional forms of thinking or being may no longer serve you and how you might organize your life to feel more effective and authentic.
From the 9th through the 18th Venus will conjunct Neptune. On the 14 Venus will enter Pisces and conjunct Chiron. This period is an excellent good time for spiritual and creative growth. Chiron's involvement indicates that it is a good time to heal old wounds through forgiveness and a spiritual approach.
Mars stations retrograde on the 23 – more about this later.
A word about 2012- Author and Jungian analyst Clarissa Pinkola Estes has written about the importance of acknowledging the many small and large deaths which occur throughout our lifetimes. Not necessarily literal deaths – although that can pertain as well – but endings which are transformative in nature – small and large endings which hold the seeds of a new beginning. Births, graduations, marriage, divorce, job changes, moves – all these kinds of events represent the death of the old and herald the start of the new. This is what the aspects of 2012 – widely in effect through 2017 are about – a gate time which represents a significant time in personal and planetary evolution.

MineCraft is so fun i'm getting it for my brithday i have it for the xbox 360 so thats how i know how fun it is. mooncreeft is what me and my friend call it jffjwaejfjwgwjebguwehbuiewb
MInecraft is a sandbox game created as a hobby by a man named Markus "Notch" Person, although recently sold to Microsoft for $2.5 billion. After developing it for many months, Markus decided he couldn't handle the game on his own, and founded the company Mojang which still works on the game today. The main goal of Minecraft is to do what you want. There is no set goal, no save the princess, no destroy the bad guys plot. There are two game types. Laid back, relaxed creative mode, where you can get anything out of your inventory, and the challenging survival mode, with monsters, starvation, damage, and resources must be gathered. Creative mode, the most popular among the two with the younger gamers, or just people with low-end pc's that can't handle the game too well, is very good for testing things so that you don't build something in your survival world, only to find out it doesn't work. Most people have a "test world" a world in which they put all of their builds, mainly using redstone, in to make sure they were reliable and worked for survival mode. Survival mode, the more fun game mode (in my opinion) is very challenging, as you start with nothing and have to work your way up. Some times living off of rotten flesh as a food source, you must find a way to survive once night hits, allowing the monsters to spawn. One of the best parts of the game however, is that it's open-sourced. You can go into the game code and change whatever you like, which allows for any type of mod you're looking for, whether it makes the game easier, or makes it much more hostile, or just increases performance of the game on your computer.
The game is truly a wonder of game-design. It features simple, intuitive, and interesting mechanics easily learned on the fly, yet it features an emergent depth of gameplay. The graphics are lo-res, yet charming, and reminiscent of old style 8-bit games, with a 3d touch. For the price, this is one of those games that you will not regret ever getting as before you realize it, you'll have spent hours and hours digging "just one more tunnel. "
The PC version of "Minecraft" is fantastic. It's a brilliantly designed 3-D game. You can play by yourself and construct houses, explore caves and fight mobs. You can also play online and build together with your friends, PVP with other online players, or just explore the beauty of Minecraft together with friends. Definitely a recommended game for young and old.
I think Minecraft suffers from a player's expectations. It's an open world sandbox game, which means that it has no well-defined objective. So many players will find it hard to consider it a "game" at all. The only obvious requirement is that you survive. And honestly, you hunt down a few pigs, dig a hole in a wall, and you have that covered. So it's critical to use your sense of adventure, and set out to see all that the game's world has to offer. And it has some incredibly beautiful, though blocky, scenery!
This is a very unique and fun game. I had quite a bit of fun with it. The only real issue I have with it is that it is JUST a sandbox game. There's no true goal. There are no rewards or punishment for performance. I still like it, and I still log in and play for a while every update, but after a while there's just not much more to do. It looks like there are some planned updates that might change this in the future though. I say buy it and play it, just don't expect it to be a game you play forever (Unless you REALLY like building things.)
It is very glitchy sometimes. It is boring. It just the same thing each time. Mine, kill animals, make food, kill monsters, sleep. It is boring and theres no real purpose to the game. Like theres no objective. Killing the ender dragon maybe? Play if you want to. Also the monsters are quite scary/violent. They hurt you. I wouldn't recommend the game.

This morning I am teaching Confirmation class to some fifty 6th graders. So of course, I was thinking about basketball 😉
That much is normal. What is not normal is that I was thinking about North Carolina basketball….in a positive light! Some of you won't understand, but members of Big Blue Nation (University of Kentucky fans) are raised from birth to understand that the Tar Heels are the enemy!
How did I get there? This morning's class was on our doctrinal distinctives. I was thinking about how we are often able to see because we stand on other's shoulders. For example, John Wesley brought to the church an understanding from Scripture of God as a loving Father, but standing on the shoulders of others helped him see. Luther and Calvin are examples of those who had gone before and given great insight to the church.
And so I was thinking about Dean Smith, past coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels. Dean Smith is credited with so many innovations we now take as normal:
- Huddling at the free throw line before a free throw attempt
- Pointing a finger at the guy who made the assist
- Giving the "tired" signal to the coach when a player needs a rest
- Using multiple defenses in a game
- Using the point guard to call out the defensive sets
- And perhaps the most infamous, the ball control offense. Dean Smith managed to make the game so boring by effectively running the four corner offense that the NCAA instituted a shot clock to speed up play.
The kind of basketball that I and countless other fans love today – that of aggressive, fast-paced offense would not have been possible without Dean Smith's extremely effective use of the rules of that day. In fact, it occurs to me now that when Kentucky wins their 8th National Championship on April 2nd, they may owe a sort of a debt of gratitude to Dean Smith!
I stand on the shoulders of more people than I can count. My dad's integrity and humility. My mother's hospitality and passion for the overlooked and the outcast. Dr. Kinlaw's preaching. Jeff Blake's encouragement. Hule Goddard's mentoring. Rev. Slone's teaching. Annamarie Hamilton's grace. And on and on. I did a Facebook post once mentioning many who had invested in me…and on whose shoulders I stand to see.
Whose shoulders do you stand on?
And this may be another whole post, but while Dean Smith changed the game for the better…the final result looks like nothing he envisioned. As others stand on my shoulders and on yours, can we let them improve on what we have created even when it feels like dismantling? Looking back, how do we learn from those who went before to allow others to come after?

It's that time of year again where the winter blues are finally behind us, the chance of rain diminishes a little each day, and summer is just around the corner. I thoroughly enjoy the abundance of sunshine and all the events this beautiful time of year brings to our local communities.
As most of us strive for a well-balanced lifestyle, I wanted to share a little information that might be useful to you or someone you know. One thing I love to do on a Saturday morning is browse the local farmers markets. Each one is unique in its own way and offers many different varieties of products, from homegrown vegetables and local honey to crafts and much more. This summer, I encourage you to get out and buy local while maintaining that well-balanced lifestyle.
To help you out, here are the local farmers markets in our area:
- Richmond, Wayne County: This outdoor market begins on May 5 in Elstro Plaza and continues every Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon, through the end of October. Also, from July until September, they have a weekly Tuesday night market from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in Elstro Plaza as well.
- Connersville, Fayette County: Starting in mid-May, this outdoor market is every Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon in the downtown courthouse parking lot.
- Liberty, Union County: This outdoor market begins in May and is on Friday evenings from 4:30 p.m. until dark in the courthouse square.
- Brookville, Franklin County: This outdoor market begins May 17 and runs until the end of growing season from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. It's located at the space in front of the Brookville Treatment Plant.
- New Castle, Henry County: This outdoor market runs from mid-May through mid-October and is every Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. It's located on the east side of the Henry County Courthouse.
- Eaton, Preble County: This outdoor market runs from mid-May through the end of September and is on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the corner of Barron and Somers streets.
- Greenville, Darke County: This outdoor market runs from June 2 to October 13 and is every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in front of the Darke County Courthouse at the corner of 4th and Broadway.

Raising My Daughter to be a Warrior of Love and Justice
My daughter started taking martial arts when she was five years old. I think it's helped teach her confidence, self-discipline, and self-reliance. Life isn't always cream puffs and unicorns. When dire circumstances warrant acute awareness, hyper-focus, and rapid response — kids trained in resilience are far more likely to endure hardship and advocate for peace with poise.
In my family, we ain't raising no princess. We're revolutionaries and unyielding warriors of justice. We do our research. We know where our food comes from. We're intentional and informed with every purchase. We talk about environmental preservation, human rights and civil liberties. We look at labels and shop almost exclusively second-hand. We vehemently reject playground and corporate bullies seeking to profit on the backs of the little guy. In our house, we relentlessly root for the underdog and those doing the right thing. In our community, we show up with blood, sweat, tears, gluten-free chocolate chip banana bread, and baskets of homegrown organic veggies for those struggling to survive the day.
So You Want To Raise A Feminist?
Start here, with the latest stories and news in parenting.
At our dinner table, no topic is taboo. We name the elephant in the room and promote discourse on all things controversial. We respectfully provide opportunity for everyone to express opinions, vet ideas, and workshop viable resolutions. When something makes the hair on the back of our necks stand up, we talk about it. We understand that safety is an illusion and control is a fairy tale; that on any given day, precious life is precarious, hanging in the balance like a feather on the wind. We reject hate-talk and dismiss fear-mongering. We embrace the practicality of living every moment — because life's too short to pretend it's not.
"Everybody dies" is a common mantra in our home. Not for fear of death, but as a compassionate reminder that in life there is no permanence. Our soulful six year old has given elaborate burials to expired honey bees found in our garden, respectfully thanking them for their invaluable contributions and wishing them safe passage to future endeavors. Living an active outdoor lifestyle in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, she's become an avid student of wildlife biology, horticulture, and ethnobotany. True to her namesake, our astute Juniper is diligently learning the nuances of the food chain, life cycles, and the interconnectedness of all things.
We don't have television. Juno's exposure to cliché Disney princesses has largely been limited to the fiery, redheaded archer Merida from the movie "Brave." Our favorite bedtime stories are about hardship, adversity and redemption, where the heroine needs no rescuing. Books like "The Paperbag Princess," by Robert Munsch reveal protagonists' inner strength and self-determination we want to nurture in our own daughter. Parents looking for inspiration can check this great book list (for older readers) with female characters who promote the kind of bravery and perseverance we should all seek to cultivate from an early age.
As a professional organizer and author, it's my job to help people simplify, discover clarity, and become inspired by a rewarding life of purpose. You bet your ass my wife and I will be raising our daughter to be an independent thinker, a compassionate warrior, and a paragon of stewardship and integrity. Simon Sinek brilliantly reminds us, "Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge." In my home, we're far from perfect and that means approaching every heart-felt effort with humility and a commitment to personal growth. Will Durant's famous interpretation of Aristotle states, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."
At six years old, Juno's well on her way to understanding that intentional habits grounded in compassion, generosity, and getting after it like a warrior — will reliably deliver hard-won results now and for the rest of her life.

Quotes from Carole
• "If you are wondering what to do with the rest of your life — because you are dissatisfied or bored with your job, going through a separation or divorce, reentering the workforce, contemplating a life or career change, or unemployed — this book is for you. A major shift in your career and life direction can create important gains in your life. It forces you to confront yourself in basic ways, and offers you the chance for an expanded sense of self, personal and professional growth, and hope. It also involves some tradeoffs."
• "I wrote Questers Dare to Change Your Job and Life so that I could share my research and experience on the career quest with you. As you journey through this book — and through your life — don't hold back because of concerns about 'success' or the availability of jobs in your field. Whether the country is in an economic explosion or a recession, whether you want to work in a broad or a narrow field, attractive jobs are available."
• "Keep your options open. Focus on the opportunities available. By following the examples of the self-reliant Questers, who thrive on challenge and growth and turn crises into opportunities, you will gain the strength to take an active stance in your own life."

Environmental Emergency Response
The Environmental Services Division of the City of Burnaby's Engineering Department is responsible for responding to accidental spills. We respond during regular hours and after hours.
For more information, please contact the City of Burnaby Engineering Department at 604-294-7460 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Reporting a Spill
In the event of an accidental environmental spill, contact the City of Burnaby Engineering Department at 604-294-7200 immediately.
If a chemical is flammable, toxic, corrosive or has other hazardous properties, call the Burnaby Fire Department immediately at 911.
Any person responsible for stormwater drainage pollution may be held liable under municipal, provincial and federal legislation.
Spill Prevention
In Burnaby the stormwater drainage system discharges surface runoff, untreated, into open creeks. There are over 60 creeks and 2 lakes in Burnaby that form an important network of watercourses and provide a natural habitat for salmon, trout and other aquatic life.
Hazardous material spills should always be contained and must be cleaned up immediately to prevent them from entering the stormwater drainage system. Businesses and commercial operations that utilize chemicals should:
- Develop a spill response plan which includes a spill response kit equipped with absorbent materials that are appropriate for wastes produced by the facility.
- Train employees on how to use the spill response plan, chemical usage and waste handling techniques.
- Ensure all employees are aware of their role in preventing stormwater pollution by reviewing best management practices, and waste water discharge requirements.
- Post educational signage and/or mark storm drains to educate employees about stormwater pollution prevention.
Never pour anything into an outside storm drain. All drains lead to fish habitat.

These old metal lanterns have been laying around in the garage for a long time. They had been outside for a really, really long time, filled with leaves and melted candle wax.
We had used them several years ago for a backyard Halloween party and they just got left outside, out of the way for way too long.
Anyway, the hubby said….time to junk them….but I thought they were still too good to toss away, so figured I'd try my hand at re-painting them with some left over chalk paint.
Watch the video!
I painted a small area at a time, then wiped the excess away with a soft cloth. You can wipe off as much as you want depending on how you want your project to look. I was careful not to wipe off too much since I wanted a rustic look.

The bailout bill means total financial dictatorship. This bill gives the death penalty to capital markets. The execution will, if this passes, begin immediately and be stretched out over succeeding years.
It includes such nooses as:
1. The Secretary of the Treasury (Finance Czar) gets complete power to buy up any mortgage-related assets he decides on. No questions asked.
2. The Finance Czar (Secretary) and the Fed Chairman get power to buy ANY FINANCIAL ASSET (wow!). They need only inform Congress in writing what they are up to.
3. The Czar can buy troubled assets of ANY financial institution he decides on.
The power grab here is not one but several quantum leaps beyond even the New Deal. It is at a minimum in that Big League.
The discrimination inherent in this bill is totally inconsistent with any kind of even-handed rule of law.
The precedent set here, if this bill passes, is extremely damaging. In the future, Congress will be far more likely to grant such powers to financial czars who will then have direct control over all the capital markets, money markets, and loan markets, and over all financial intermediaries.
It is the original Paulson plan raised to the tenth power.

Man charged with killing ex-girlfriend's dog found not guilty
A man accused of killing a former girlfriend's dog and dumping the small Maltese in a West Hills trash bin was found not guilty Thursday.
Rommel Marzan, 44, was charged with a single felony count of cruelty to an animal. In a Malibu courtroom, the jury returned a not-guilty verdict after less than one hour of deliberations, following an eight-day trial of a case that was "emotionally charged," said defense attorney Michael A. Goldstein.
Marzan was arrested in April 2010 after investigators deemed that his story that he had fallen on the small dog was not credible and a veterinarian determined that the animal had died from blunt head trauma, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Det. Steve Colitti said at the time.
"He told [the dog's owner] he had fallen on the dog and then panicked and dumped the dog," Colitti said.
At the time, Marzan, who was placed on leave as an engineer for the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District, was released on $50,000 bail.

Two area residents facing numerous charges after causing accident, fleeing the scene
Charles City, Iowa – Two area men were arrested on Monday after allegedly causing a minor accident and then fleeing the scene.
According to the police report, a silver 2003 Ford Explorer operated by 21-year-old Davell Shaw of Mason City attempted to pass a gold 2005 Chrysler Town & Country van operated by 32 year old Josh Patrie of Charles City in the 400 block of 7th Avenue when Shaw's vehicle sideswiped Patrie's van.
Police say Shaw fled the scene in his vehicle and also failed to stop for a squad car. Officers apprehended the men behind a business in the 1000 block of South Grand Avenue.
Shaw was arrested and charged with operating without a driver's license, leaving the scene of an accident, no insurance and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. 23-year-old Ryan Brewer of Charles City was also arrested and charged with charged with driving while suspended, operating a non-registered vehicle, and failure to provide proof of insurance.
The estimated total damage of the accident was $2500.

After a successful consulting and prototype phase, SINFOGEO was awarded a public tender to complete the production of a new national 100K scale cartographic series in Spain. This involved the integration of the BCN200 product from IGN Spain with the C series product from CEGET.
By utilising the 1Spatial Cloud platform, SINFOGEO were able to underpin the quality assurance of their project at every step of the data supply chain. The fact that it was a cloud-based service also meant that they could remove all of the expensive and time consuming set up activities involved in deploying software and hardware at each contributor's site across Spain.
The final database created is now fit-for purpose and can be used by the Spanish Government and Army to fulfil their different requirements. The next phase of the project is generalisation so that they can use the data at different scales and are able to derive multiple different products from the database, something they could not have moved on to without a trusted data set.Download Case Study

Seaweed offers simply more than just a green wrap around your sushi, it's an ideal 'sea vegetable' for your healthy meal plans too!
There are a range of different seaweeds available in cooking including the bloat-buster wakame, sweet-tasting arame and snack-friendly nori.
These sea vegetables are said to contain more nutrients than the veggies we dig from the ground, with seaweed rich in vitamin C, potassium, calcium, and vitamin A.
Here are three ways you can enjoy the superfood that is seaweed.
Spring salads
Pair your grilled chicken up with the tangy flavour of seaweed, by preparing a few special salads!
Combine brown rice, fresh ginger, tofu, dried shiitake mushroom and wakame to whip up a healthy lunch, or soak up dried seaweed and add rice vinegar, spring onion, sesame oil, soy sauce and sesame seeds for a simple salad.
Soba noodles
Combine two Asian cuisine favourites of seaweed and soba noodles, for a fresh, tasty dish that will impress your dinner guests.
Serve up a meal inspired by the sea, with a Soba noodle dish combining the flavours of shrimp, lime, mushroom, sesame oil, spring onion, wakame and chicken broth.
For a quick and easy meal, put together soba and udon noodles, water, shiitake mushrooms, dried wakame and bonito flakes (dried, fermented tuna) in a rice cooker, then dish out into bowls.
Healthy soups
On a health kick? There's no better way to give your diet a boost than with a seaweed soup!
Miso soup is one recipe you can rely on, with this simple meal containing white miso paste, spring onion, tofu, wakame seaweed and vegetable stock.
To add an extra punch of flavour, you can also include shiitake mushroom, bok choy, bean sprouts, coriander, carrot and quinoa.

Floyd Mayweather's long-anticipated title fight against Manny Pacquiao dominated sports headlines a week ago, so it's only fitting that it kicks off this week's Q&A session.
The bellyaching that ensued after Floyd Mayweather fought a prototypical Floyd Mayweather fight made our first question easy to answer.
If you'd like your topic addressed in Q&A, tweet @kensing45 or @cfbhuddle. You can also email email@example.com.
@kensing45 How would Floyd Mayweather do in the SEC West
— MACeyMACMAC (@MACtheSPORK) May 7, 2015
To answer this, I'll turn it over to SEC Bro.
So a lot of y'all have been emailing and blowing up my Galaxy since my debut column dropped. It's about time I got the keys to drive this baby around the block again, much like I drive my dad's sick M3 around campus.
The top question y'all have wanted me to answer after I broke down where Steph Curry would finish in the SEC is how Floyd Mayweather would do against the SEC.
Let me start by saying I can appreciate Floyd. He loves money, and I love money, too.
Floyd also would have been a great fit in the SEC West. Emphasis on would have, if this were 2011. We were feeling that 9-6 vibe then. Game of the Century right there!
But a Fight of the Century with the equivalent of 9-6? Naw, man.
Floyd Mayweather uses his speed on defense. That used to be Real Football, until SEC teams started scoring a lot and now Real Football is all about that offense. My boy Johnny Q. Football, Esq. flipped the script with his touchdown-scoring and sorority girl-macking.
Nice! That's the template every SEC player should follow.
I called up my dude T-Rock, who's at law school at UNLV. He's an SEC undergrad and would have stayed out here, but he wants to set up shop in Vegas. Respect.
Plus, Altee Tenpenny transferred from Alabama to UNLV, so the Rebs have some SEC credentials now.
Well, T-Rock went down to the sports book and demanded to know where Floyd Mayweather would finish in the SEC. After 20 minutes of shouting he was a law student and needed an answer, security threw him out. Dude is wild!
That also shows how Vegas thinks Floyd Mayweather would do in the SEC: so bad, they won't even take bets. I slot him No. 1,179 in the SEC West, right behind Busta Rhymes' The Coming album, but right ahead of Bernie Sanders' presidential hopes.
We now return you to our regularly scheduled Q&A.
@kensing45 what's the line on Kentucky basketball @ Vandy football and where's the early steam heading.
— Alex Kolodziej (@AlexK_47) May 7, 2015
Opening line for Kentucky hoops at Vanderbilt basketball is UK -19. Kentucky struggled in a handful of road SEC games, and add the difficult of dribbling on turf, and the line is lower than some might think — especially for a Vandy team that got routed at home by Temple.
But, because the line is a bit lower, the steam is going hard on Kentucky covering. Give it some time and this baby will jump by a touchdown, and without the Harrison Twins there to hit some 3-pointers against a lackluster Vanderbilt secondary, the Wildcats won't cover.
Call my 1-900 line for more winners.
@kensing45 who's the least likeable college football head coach (P5) not named Saban or Petrino and where would u take him on a bro date?
— Kevin Causey (@CFBZ) May 7, 2015
Oof. This is a tough question to answer, because I feel like I'm passing judgment on people I've never met. What am I writing, that's the primary principle the internet was founded on!
One coach I won't call unlikeable, but will describe as having a rough exterior you'd need to chip away is Mike Leach.
Yeah, seriously. That guy.
Leach is renowned for his obscure references and quirky interests. Those are also the gems that get unearthed from a mine of salt.
As someone with his own love for some very offbeat things, Leach and I could bond at a marathon showing of cheesy and/or obscure horror films. The guy has to appreciate Hammer Dracula movies, right?
The next two questions are USC-related, so I'll consolidate into one response.
@kensing45 USC has been a perennial overrated team in the preseason this 5 or so years…why should we believe this year will be different?
— Tommy Four Rings (@BeardownBD) May 7, 2015
@kensing45 Given all the NFL draftees Steve Sarkisian has coached at UW and now USC, does that reality work for or against him right now?
— The Student Section (@TheStudentSect) May 7, 2015
It's true that every year since 2009, save maybe 2011, USC was overrated heading into the season. Phil Steele — whose work I love, and who is one of the most genuinely nice people in football media — is typically way too high on the Trojans. His AP projections released last week have USC at No. 7.
The Trojans won't get hyped quite like 2012, when pundits ignored the loss of numbers from the scholarship reductions and the departure of Matt Kalil, the best offensive lineman in the nation the season before.
Still, No. 7 is entirely too high until USC proves otherwise. The wide receiving corps actually looks better despite losing Nelson Agholor, but until Justin Davis proves capable of carrying the load as the No. 1 back, and the defensive line finds a way to replicate Leonard Williams' production, I wouldn't consider USC a top 10 team.
USC, along with four other Pac-12 South teams, should be ranked heading into 2015. The thing is, all five are interchangeable. And the Trojans came a missed field goal of losing to all four last season.
To the second question, and this is one reason I expect USC to fare better this season commiserate with its expectations than in seasons past is that Steve Sarkisian has loaded the roster with talent.
He's an outstanding recruiting, as evidenced with the flood of Washington players drafted last week. He gained a bad reputation at Washington for winning seven games three straight seasons, but his 2013 team turned the corner, and I believe had he been the coach in 2014, Washington would have won 10 or more games.
I realize the irony there, given Chris Petersen's reputation vs. Sarkisian's, but first-year coaches often face adjustments, and the previous regime's recruits may not always fit what a new staff wants to implement.
Of course, all that matters are tangible results. Right now, Sark's track record for sending players to the NFL will benefit USC. But the Trojans need to win the Pac-12 South within two seasons, and the conference within a recruiting cycle, to keep top-flight recruits coming.

| 11.5°C Belfast
In the aftermath of the recent riots, we have been treated to all manner of recommendations as to how we should proceed in order to prevent such episodes in the future.
Many of these voices cited the decline of religious and moral values as the main cause and recommended their urgent renewal within society.
This attitude reflects the unquestioning acceptance of many people that the concepts of religion and morality are inextricably linked and cannot be considered in separation.
It could be argued, however, that it is morality's close association with religion which has discredited it in the eyes of many young people who seriously question the doctrines of the past.
It is often overlooked that moral codes have regularly developed naturally, with or without religion, whenever humanity has attempted to live in community.
In view of this, it could be claimed that morality, far from being the product of religion, is really one of its many appropriations.
While the association of morality with religion may have seemed natural in more credulous ages, it now serves only to rob morality of the impact it once enjoyed.
Perhaps when we finally realise that a morality compromised by religious connotations is no longer effective we will place it on a more rational footing from which it may regain its rightful credibility and respect.

NEW DELHI -- Following an intense backlash against Union Minister V.K. Singh's "dog" remark on Thursday, Home Minister Rajnath Singh warned leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party against making irresponsible remarks in sensitive situations.
In an appalling reaction to the death of two Dalit children as a consequence of intercaste violence in Haryana, Singh said that the government should not be blamed for the tragic episode, in the same vein as the government is not responsible if "someone throws stones at a dog."
The BJP forms the government in Haryana and at the Centre. He has served as an army chief, and is currently the Minister of State For External Affairs.
Despite the outrage caused by his remark, Singh did not offer a full apology, but he criticised the media for misinterpreting his remark, and suggested that journalists should be admitted to the Agra Mental Health Institute.
"We all need to be extra careful while speaking, and we need to ensure that our statements cannot be misinterpreted," Singh told ANI on Friday.
"We cannot later excuse ourselves by saying that our remarks were misinterpreted. We will have to speak with extreme caution," he said.
Meanwhile, Bharatiya Janata Party's political opponents have stepped up their demand for Singh to be sacked for his remark, and the Aam Aadmi Party plans to file an FIR against him under the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.
On Tuesday morning, two children - a baby girl and her two-year-old brother - were burnt alive when men from the Rajput community allegedly set a Dalit family on fire in Sunped village, Faridabad.
Bihar's Dalit leader Lalu Prasad Yadav said that Singh's remarks reflected the mindset of the BJP. "Those who insult Dalits and backward castes are respected within the BJP-RSS," he said.
जो V.K Singh बोला वही BJP का मूल विचार है. जो दलित-पिछड़ा को जितना अधिक गाली देगा, शोषण करेगा उसको RSS व BJP उतना ही बड़ा नेता मानता है

May you have lovely warm Spring weather soon! I really enjoyed your inside look at what's really involved in reviewing a book! So much expertise and hard work! Thank you for all of your contributions!
Getting Rid of those Pesky Spots
As I sit here writing this, I see that it is snowing. Again. I mean, come on. I feel like I'm living in Narnia. Which brings me to my topic this week: book reviews.
I work as a children's book reviewer. I've heard various comments from authors when I tell them what I do. "Be nice," says one. "Do you even read the book?" says another. "Must take you about fifteen minutes, right?" says the third.
None of these statements is true. I am not nice, since "nice" doesn't help a person decide if they should spend their hard-earned money to buy the book; rather, I am honest. I read the book. Instead of fifteen minutes, it's an average of nine hours, plus reading time.
I'll use a picture book as an example, since how hard can it be to review a picture book, right?
I first read the book (which is usually in the form of an F&G, "folded and gathered"—it's the picture book without a binding) to establish an overall, ingenuous idea of the story. Then I read it again…and again…and again… I study the typeface; is it effective, does it change, if so, why, where is it placed on the page and does that work? I look at the illustrations; their medium, their placement on the page—does that encourage the page turn, do they respect the gutter, does it balance with the type, does white space come into play? Next I look at the two together. Is the overall design of each page—illustration and text—well thought out with successful execution? Now I look at the content of the illustrations. Do they mirror the text or do they add another layer? Perhaps they even tell their own story, and does this work? Finally, trim size. What size and shape is the overall book? A story of a journey, for example, is usually most successful as a landscape format. My finished review can only be a little more than two hundred words and must follow a specific format. I must get in the plot summary, its successful or unsuccessful execution and why, and a recommendation or not.
My advice to writers who have received a review from a professional reviewer that they are unhappy with—read it very closely. Within the limitations of a word count, the reviewer is trying to tell you something. Those spots that prickle your skin with indignation—take them as critique.
By someone who cares.

Yikes, authors really say those things to you? I mean I'm sure they do — you are honest! But sheesh! Thank you for your carefulness and caring.

Dallas — To celebrate 35 years in existence, the Dallas Bach Society threw a retro party for New Year's Eve. They duplicated their first concert in their first venue—and it was absolutely marvelous. They played all six of Bach's Brandenburg concerti and you will never hear them played as well.
As a collection of scores, the Brandenburg concerti have no parallel. They are six instrumental works, all for different configurations. They laid the foundation for today's orchestras as a group of different instruments, in this case 17, playing a single piece. Bach called them concerts avec plusieurs instruments (concerti for various instruments) and one glance at the list of players at the bottom of this review will show you the reason for the name. But, they are real virtuoso concerti and as such, are challenging for all concerned.
They are based on the existing concerto grosso form of a group of soloists (the concertino) interacting with a larger group of instruments (the ripieno or the concerto grosso). Here, however, Bach upends this Baroque form by not using a larger group as contrast. He divides his 17 instruments into the two groups, but sometimes the ripieno is smaller than the concertino. Thus, every player is a soloist no matter which group they are in at the moment.
The concerti were performed on historically accurate instruments. While the string instruments are similar to today's descendants, the winds and brass are much more rudimentary.
The brass instruments are notoriously treacherous. The natural horns in the first concerto are hunting horns, just like in all the historical paintings and don't have valves. Thus, all notes must be formed with the lip alone. The clarion, a natural trumpet that looks like an elongated bugle, also lacks valves and this part, the second concerto, is one of the most difficult ever written for the trumpet of any configuration or era.
So, I am not going to write individual reviews for each concerto or each soloist. They were all amazing and occasionally switched roles. One example is that the first violin and second violin frequently traded places. The sixth concerto eliminates the violins all together and uses three violas, a cello and a violone with keyboard.
Music director James Rickman kept everything together while switching between a harpsichord and a small portable pipe organ. The fifth concerto is more like the more familiar concerto form in that the harpsichord is a soloist and the other instruments provide an accompaniment. Richman gave a virtuoso performance.
Below is the list of the outstanding players who delivered the best New Year's Eve party I have ever attended.
- Clare Cason, James Andrewes, Marie-Elise McNeeley — Baroque Violin
- Alisa Rata Stutzbach, Stephanie Raby, Tamara Meredith — Baroque Viola
- Christopher Phillpott, David Cason, John Walters — Baroque Cello
- John Walters, Stuart Cheney — Viola da Gamba
- Randy Inman — Violone
- Tamara Meredith — Baroque Flute
- MaryAnn Shore, William Bauer, Sung Lee — Baroque Oboes and Recorders
- Kelsey Schilling — Baroque Bassoon
- James Wilson, Brent Anderson — Natural Horn
- Josh Cohen — Natural Trumpet

Two years ago, 16-year-old Kylie Lawrence was first reported missing from her Missouri home. Reported as a runaway, Kylie was able to avoid police by refraining from the social media grid throughout the years.
Now 18 years old, Kylie has resurfaced on Facebook declaring her return with an updated Facebook status that reads,
Although her case was closed because of confidential circumstances, she still feared she needed to remain hidden while on the run from the cops. She continued to post on Facebook,
In a comment thread, Kylie went into detail about how the cops found her at a Battlefield Mall in Springfield, Missouri.
After being discovered, Kylie's name was removed from the Greene County active missing persons list and she has since taken her "freedom" to social media. She went as far as posting this picture of herself and stating, "Don't have to worry 'bout anything at all. Living my life the way it was meant to be."
Her parents have yet to come out about their thoughts on the matter.
What do you think about this story? Do you think Kylie is just going through a teenager phase or is in need of support? All we know is we're glad she's safe!

This blog discusses how to deliver population health management and to drive a paradigm shift for health care systems.
One of the major challenges facing healthcare systems today is how to transform the national infrastructure from a volume based to a value based model - better outcomes. Additionally the goal is to provide closely coordinated, higher quality healthcare more cost effectively, while expanding access to services.
This is based on the "Triple Aim" model of healthcare delivery:
• Better care for individuals by focusing on safety, effectiveness, patient-centeredness, timeliness, efficiency and equity.
• Better health for populations by focusing on "the upstream causes of so much of our ill health," such as poor nutrition, physical inactivity, substance abuse, unwise behavioral choices, violence and economic disparities.
• Reducing per capita costs.
Attaining this goal, as defined by Dr. Berwick, the former Administrator of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will require a paradigm shift in the way healthcare is delivered. To drive this paradigm shift, for any healthcare delivery system, will require development of Population Health Management as a core competency for their organization. Developing this competency is a challenge.
To address this challenge, Vector Wellness has developed a three tier Software as a Service Population Health Management Platform that provides the following:
• Corporate wellness programs for hospital employee populations to (1) foster healthier employee lifestyles and (2) develop organizational expertise on how wellness contributes to Population Health Management.
• Support the Healthcare Systems to deliver to employers, in their sphere of influence, comprehensive wellness programs integrated with their Population Health Management strategic deployment and develop new sources of revenue for the Healthcare System.
• Provide the Healthcare System with the tools and platform necessary to support a Population Health Management environment for their patient population including care transition, chronic care management, meaningful use compliance, etc.
The Vector Wellness technology and methodology can drive this paradigm shift for Healthcare Systems. We are uniquely positioned in product offering and expertise to deliver the solution set that healthcare organizations need to embrace Population Health Management. The Vector Wellness digital health technology platform can provide healthcare organizations with the tools and resources they need to embrace the move to patient centered health delivery.

They also offer opportunities to support women through one-time donations starting at only $15. These Gifts That Give More include clean childbirth kits to ensure more safe births in impoverished countries such as Rwanda and Haiti. A donation of $15 pays for three of these kits.
Men on your gift list might appreciate a donation to the Family Violence Prevention Fund. Based in San Francisco with offices in D.C. and Boston, the FVPF works "to end violence against women and children around the world" by educating men and youth about violence prevention, "promoting leadership within communities to ensure that violence prevention efforts become self-sustaining, and transforming the way health care providers, police, judges, employers and others address violence." Your donation can be made in memory or in honor of anyone you like.
So why not turn gift-giving opportunities into opportunities for much (much) more than typical gift-giving? Your family will be so proud of you.

Stay tuned!
The next meeting is Friday the 6th of November 2020 will take place in Moscow, traditionally in the «RNDM» bar located at Nastavnicheskiy pereulok, 13-15 building 3.
2600 Meetings exist as a forum for all interested in technology to meet and talk about events in technology-land,
learn and teach. Meetings are open to anyone of any age or level of expertise.
We meet in a public area. Nobody is excluded. There is no admission charge or dues of any sort. It's preferable to have meetings in as open a spot as possible rather than behind closed doors. This ensures that new people who don't know about the meetings will be drawn in. We have nothing to hide and we don't presume to judge who is worthy of attending and who is not.
We act in a responsible manner. We don't do illegal things and we don't cause problems for the place we're meeting in. Most 2600 meetings are welcomed by the establishments we choose.
We meet on the first Friday of the month between 7:00 PM and 11:00 PM local time in the bar «RNDM» at Moscow, Nastavnicheskiy pereulok, 13-15 building 3. While there will always be people who can't make this particular time, the same will hold true for any time or day chosen. By having all of the meetings on the same day, it makes it very easy to remember, opens up the possibility for inter-meeting communication, and really causes hell for the federal agencies who want to monitor everything we do. A few meetings have slight variations on the meeting time - these are noted accordingly.
There is no agenda at these meetings, anything goes, so if you were bored it's probably because you didn't make the effort. If you had a good time we'll see you then again next month.
firstname.lastname@example.com and if you use PGP, our key here.
All meetings traditionally take place on the first Friday of every month and begin at 7:00 PM local time.
«RNDM» bar address: Moscow, Nastavnicheskiy pereulok, 13-15 building 3.

In a divorce that involves children, there is always the question of how to handle custody. In the state of Georgia, a child that is at least 11 years old can tell the presiding judge his or her preferred custodial parent, although this does not mean that child custody is automatically awarded to the chosen parent. The judges are still the ones who decide on the matter. Guidelines regarding child custody are important to enable every court in the state to make uniform decisions in similar divorce cases.
The lack of uniformity in custody determination is one of the problems facing courts in South Dakota today, prompting them to come up with a law stating the guidelines for child custody. Once this legislation is approved, this will certainly change the way that child custody is enforced.
However, advocates of shared parenting in the state lament the fact that this new law will not grant equal custody to both parents. According to these advocates, maximizing the time that both parents spend with their children has beneficial effects for the children, such as getting better grades in school and lowering chances of juvenile imprisonment and teenage pregnancy.
On the other hand, those who oppose implementing a shared-parenting law emphasize that joint or equal custody will not serve the best interests of the child. For instance, mothers and children who were victims of domestic abuse will not benefit from co-parenting. In addition, the equal split of parenting time may brew more conflict between the parents as they battle for the child's time and attention.
While South Dakota works out revisions to its child custody guidelines, many lawyers in Georgia understand that child custody should be decided based on the best interests of the children involved. Today, Georgia law focuses heavily on equal and shared parenting time. Oftentimes, the custody and visitation arrangements are close to a 50-50 split to give both parents a chance to raise their children. If that is not right for your situation, however, there are other options.

George Tetlow
To George Tetlow acclaimed artist and lecturer, his days in Manchester seemed distant memories until he revisited his early life in interviews for this biography. When the young man left chilly UK in 1959 as a ten-pound Pom it didn't quite turn out as he expected. The warm Aussie welcome was extreme heat in a Mount Isa copper smelter, after which he worked on the roads at Woomera. But along the way people recognised his artistic talent and encouraged him to take it seriously.
He became a mature-age art student and studied at the South Australian School of Art (SASA). Following graduation and a three year stint with Rigby, a book publisher, he returned for two decades to the SASA as a lecturer in drawing and illustration. As he became well known, he exhibited widely and enjoyed some remarkable travels including trekking in the Himalaya.
With his partner Erika Inhofer, a jewellery maker and photographer, George later moved to the Fleurieu and they set up Studio 13 in Normanville, an acclaimed fine arts gallery that they ran for nearly twenty years.
Lorraine McLoughlin tells their story in over seventy pages of text in George Tetlow and Mark and Jill Pearse: Lives in art, ISBN:978-0-646-94445-6
The book also features 45 Tetlow works, many photographs and George talks for 40 minutes about his art practice on the accompanying DVD.
For further details contact Lorraine by completing the enquiries form.
George Tetlow's artwork and Erika Inhofer's jewellery are available directly from their studio in Bellevue Heights. Contact Erika at email@example.com

One-tonne satellite to fall back to Earth in next few days
A ONE-tonne satellite operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) has run out of fuel and will fall back to Earth in an unknown location sometime in the next few days.
The Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer, or GOCE, has been mapping Earth's gravitational field for just over four years, but has been losing altitude by 2.5 miles a day over the past month.
It's expected that between 25 and 45 fragments of the spacecraft will survive the descent through the atmosphere in an anticipated event known as an 'uncontrolled entry'.
Parts of the satellite as heavy as 90kg could make it all the way to the Earth's surface, forming part of the 100 tonnes of material that is estimated to fall from space each year.
Despite the seemingly dangerous nature of this event, the scientists involved with the project have assured the public that the chances of the debris actually hitting anyone are very small. The impact of GOCE's re-entry (pronounce GO-chay) will affect an area approximately 13 to 18 metres squared.
