Craft packages ordered =1, craft packages receieved =0
Well I had a lovely day in London yesterday – although I have to say that for the second time this year I found London to be colder than Sheffield. I took a huge gamble and went without an umbrella AND wore high heels. Thankfully, we didn'g get caught in the rain and my feet held up to the challenge I set, including walking on cobbled streets and negotiating a spiral staircase without a handrail!
There was champagne and dainty sandwiches and champagne and delicate savory morsels and champagne and tiny pastries and champagne and cupcakes and… well I think you probably get the picture. My friend had managed to buy lots of vintage cake stands, plates, teacups and saucers it was beautiful. As was her house, which I hadn't seen before. I returned home in the evening tired but happy still clutching my bunny ears! Just 4 weeks to the wedding – I haven't even thought about an outfit!
Today I am sharing a couple of little dragonflies that I thought might make nice present toppers:
I shall be sharing these over at Really Reasonable Ribbon for the ribbon sparkle & bling challenge. The base of these pretty babies is a pipecleaner. I double it over, pulled it into an oval at the looped end and twisted at the other to make the tail.
Next, I wrapped silky ribbon around the "skeleton" going from top to bottom and then back up again, using a blob of glue to secure. I made a pair of anntennae from some silver wire. The pink dragonfly has beads on the end and the blue one has sparkly aqua gems.
The wings were made from some champagne netting. I cut two strips. wrapped wire around the centre of each piece and then combined them to make a double pair of wings. You can't see it in the photo's but there is a sprinkle of crystal glitter on the wings which looks very pretty.
To finish them I added a large gem and a little blossom, plus a chit-chat sticker.
There was a bumper package of ribbons, from Really Reasonable Ribbon, but I have banned myself from undoing them until I sort out the mess that is my ribbon bag. You really wouldn't believe what a dreadful state they are in. Bonnie would probably never send me any ever again if she saw it. A kindly ribbon fairy has offered to take them away and sort them out for me but as much as this appeals to me, I would feel very bad if I let her do it. I will go and hang my shame curtains immediately!

In India, books are traditionally considered the symbol of Saraswati, the goddess of learning. In fact, it's taboo to let one's feet even accidentally touch a book. How can you make your books last for ages?
* Don't fold down the corner of the pages to mark the place you were last reading. Instead use a bookmark. 'Dog-eared' books not only look awful, their pages also tear easily.
* Never place an open book face down. It damages the spine and loosens the binding. The pages become filthy, too. Don't leave books open anyway.
* Folding books backwards is a strict no-no. Keep the book spread out flat on its back when reading, preferably on a table.
* Never, never, underline words and sentences or scribble in the margins — especially in library books. Not only does it spoil the book, but it also spoils the enjoyment of the next reader.
* A cardinal sin is tearing pages out or cutting out pictures from books. Remember, books are not raddi. They are meant to be cherished.
* Arrange books in a standing position, not one on top of the other. Use bookends if you have to keep books on your table.
* Don't wet your finger with spittle when turning the pages of a book. Yuck! That's awful! The correct way of turning pages is to lift each one gently from the bottom or top right hand corner.
* Are you reading while eating? Stop! Surely you don't want dal and oil spattering those pristine white pages.
* And last, but not the least, it is sensible to cover books with clear plastic as soon as you buy them.

Sweet Gus has had this first (and probably not his last) stitches at the ER on Saturday. I put Gus down for his nap, around 2:30 on Saturday, I didn't hear any noise and was keeping an ear out while getting the house organized (we are selling our house upstate, another story). I heard him chatting away, no crying, then a little crying, 5 minutes later, full distressed crying. I ran up the stairs, into his room and couldn't believe my eyes. I truly was stunned to see blood everywhere, all over his face, his hands, his clothes, his crib, it took me a full 15 seconds to take it in and understand the situation. I just couldn't believe my eyes. Gus had managed to pull down a framed picture of my Dad off the wall, it shattered to the ground and somehow sliced the inside his little finger in the meantime. I yelled for Conor, who took control of the situation, very calmly. We rushed him to the bathroom and then to ER where he had to have two stitches! I cuddled and cuddled him and was so glad I was there for him.
Luckily, Gus's godmother jumped to rescue, cleaned the nursery, top to bottom, followed by watching over Cole, while we were in ER. S, you are a real trooper.
The ER nurse asked me if our second child was a boy, at which point she said - two boys, you'll be back!

Suicide: How to Help Yourself & Others Find Healing
Jun 13, 2018
We have a problem.
More and more people are choosing to take their own lives. More and more people see death as the solution to the difficulties they face...
Dr. Peter Breggin's HONORED BLOGGERS AWARD
May 23, 2018
Dr. Peter Breggin's HONORED BLOGGERS AWARD recognizes "Inspired and Courageous Contributions in Human Sciences and Services" and provides recipients an open platform to publish whenever they wish without fear of censorship. His aim is to create a blog site where a limited number of outstanding contributors can freely publish their pioneering ideas and where viewers can easily locate them. The first Honored Bloggers Awardrecipient is Peter C. Gøtzsche, MD, the Danish physician and scientist who cofounded the Cochrane Collaboration in 1993, whose courageous scientific and advocacy work helped to inspire this award.
Here is the blog Dr. Leaf, our founder, wrote for his site:
The other day I was talking to a friend, who was frustrated because she had forgotten to do something important for work. Her first comment was, "I must be getting old because I can't remember everything!" Even though she was joking, it made me think how so many of us assume that old age means memory loss—almost as if losing our ability to think and remember is natural! This assumption is only exacerbated by the growing rates of dementias and Alzheimer's among seniors. But is memory loss and cognitive impairment really just a symptom of "old age"?
In the early twentieth century, the prevailing concept in psychiatry was the demented mind, while drugs that changed one's mental state (including alcohol) were largely viewed as "mind-altering substances". Asylums, largely state-run institutions where people with mental health issues were locked away, were commonplace . Lobotomies, in which a mini icepick was shoved up the nose into the brain, were performed up to the 1950s. In fact, Egas Moniz, who invented this procedure, received the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1949 for his work, before the practice when into disrepute in the mid-1950s.

When it comes to living more sustainably, many of us think about eating more organic foods, walking more, and taking two minute showers (all of which are important!), but we often forget to think about what we wear and how our love of cheap, industrially-produced clothing is polluting our beautiful planet. We often don't think about the thousands of men, women and children who work for hours with little or no pay for the dress our friends think is "cute".
Mental Health News: November 2017

I will never forget the first time I watched One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. The movie is perhaps best known for its distressing scenes involving electric convulsive therapy (ECT), bodies writhing in shock as power surges through the brain. Although it was just a movie, and although Halloween is over, ECT is something should still alarm us.
Mental Health News: October 2017

On October 1, 2017 Stephen Paddock opened fire on a crowd at a Country music festival in Las Vegas. It was the worst mass shooting in American history, with 58 reported dead and hundreds more wounded—many of whom are still in hospital awaiting surgery or recovering from their injuries.
No to GMO?
Oct 17, 2017
Science, regardless of what high school textbooks say, is not black and white. Scientists are, after all, human; they interpret data through the filter of their worldview. Numbers are subject to human politics, including the data behind genetically-modified (GM) foods.
What the Health?
Sep 27, 2017
It seems like everyone is watching that new documentary on Netflix, What the Health. Several of my friends have even "gone vegan", and say that their bodies feel much healthier and that they have more energy.
Mental Health News: August 2017
Aug 01, 2017
Michelle Carter, 17, texted her boyfriend Conrad Roy, 18, to kill himself, and he did. That is the story we have all been told, filtered through the lens of the media. Yet, as is often the case, there is a large and dreadful disparity between what actually happened and what we are told happened, as Harved-trained psychiatrist and mental health advocate Dr. Peter Breggin points out in his recent blog. Breggin, who is involved in the case as a medical witness, shows how both Michelle and Conrad were victims of the pharmaceutical industry, which currently dominates the world of mental health. These young teenagers were on high doses of "brain-disabling" drugs, which clouded their perceptions and judgement, resulting in a tragedy that has rocked their community, and, through prolific news coverage of the case, the world.

But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. The Lord is not slow about his promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish, but all to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and everything that is done on it will be disclosed. - 2 Peter 3:8-10
If you're like me, you've felt lately as if the world were coming apart. A narcissistic, bullying, sexually predatory, congenital liar has been elected president. An enabler of white supremacists has become chief counsel to the president-elect. The next head of the EPA refuses to believe that climate change is actually happening. And those are just some of the most egregious signs. It's so easy to feel helpless.
The season of Advent begins not with cheery holiday shopping, but with gloom and doom. Destruction happens in this life. Everything that we hold dear will someday come to an end. Yet that gloom and doom is tinted with hope. God is within and through and behind everything.
It may feel like the world is ending right now, but it is not. We live and we love. As a matter of fact, as long as there are opportunities to practice the kind of love Jesus taught us, life is well worth living.
Julian of Norwich wrote, "All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well." Words are cheap. But the Christian witness is not blithe optimism. It rests on a deeper hope that even as the world actually does come apart, whether for us personally or for everyone at once, God is there. God loves us, and God rescues us at the end of all things.

TOMBALL, Texas – Sometimes it is the little things you do that make the biggest difference in someone else's life. That proved to be the case for LSC-Tomball's Student Life Manager Shannon Marino.
Looking at the devastation in the Houston Metro area that Hurricane Harvey left, she wondered to herself what could she do to help those in need? She stopped wondering, and decided to take action by posting a short message on Facebook asking her friends for help. As a result, a community college system, a high school, and an entire community in Missouri decided to send two semi-trailer trucks filled with supplies. One of those trucks stopped in Tomball.
"This is huge for them to reach out and to want to help the students and community here," said Marino. "The supplies are for the students at both Tomball high schools, and Lone Star College-Tomball students."
Officials with State Fair Community College (SFCC) and Smith-Cotton High School said they were so inspired by Marino's Facebook post that they decided to join together with the citizens of Sedalia, Missouri, to fill two semi-trailer trucks with needed supplies. Representatives drove more than 750 miles to unload the items from one of the two trailers at Tomball High School. LSC-Tomball served as a temporary shelter for Hurricane Harvey evacuees. The second semi-trailer truck went to Port Arthur, according to Marino.
"As we started discussing our plans, we learned from one of our employees that a friend and her family, who were originally from Sedalia, live in the Houston area," said SFCC President Dr. Joanna Anderson.
"The friend, Shannon Marino, is a 1989 Smith-Cotton graduate and a 1994 State Fair Community College graduate and works as director of Student Life for Lone Star College-Tomball. The Lone Star College system serves community college students in the northwest Houston area. We immediately contacted her because we want to help fellow community college students, staff and faculty who have been devastated by the hurricane and its aftermath."
Wade Norton, Smith-Cotton High School principal, said students and staff members were pleased to work with SFCC and the community to meet the needs of others.
"The connections in Texas are strong," Norton said. "This helping hand couldn't happen without our student organizations. Smith-Cotton STUCO and JROTC are taking the lead, but all others will be helping to fill the semi. We hope to connect the two high schools together to pass along our support throughout this school year as they get back on their feet."
Lone Star College-Tomball is located at 30555 Tomball Parkway, at the intersection of SH 249 and Zion Road. For more information about the college, call 281.351.3300 or visit LoneStar.edu/Tomball.
Known for its leadership, innovation and steadfast commitment to student success, Lone Star College provides high-quality academic transfer and workforce education/career training programs to more than 83,000 credit students each semester, and a total enrollment of 95,000 students. LSC is training tomorrow's workforce today and redefining the community college experience to promote student success and economic prosperity. Stephen C. Head, Ph.D., is the chancellor of LSC, the largest institution of higher education in the Houston area, which consists of six colleges, eight centers, two university centers, Lone Star Corporate College and LSC-Online.

When I came across this photo, I showed it to Ryan and he said without hesitation, "That's what I want." We don't necessarily plan to go to two stories, so imagine this without the steeply pitched roof and dormers. It's remarkably similar in some ways to our house now, with a center entrance, large windows on either side, stucco exterior, even the curved walk from the driveway. But we love the arched entry, the old/tumbled brick, the stained wood door, and the darker color of the roof.
I took these photos around our neighborhood because I like the aged look of the bricks--the chimney is actually on a stucco house almost identical in color to ours. Ryan prefers a browner tone to the brick, but this is the general idea.

Blowing and drifting snow overnight caused some Hanover School Division buses to be delayed this morning and even a few got stuck.
Robert Warkentin, Director of Transportation for HSD notes the areas affected were mainly sheltered sections in the countryside where snow would have blown in.
"We have had a couple that have gotten stuck. We have had a few that have had to detour because of other stuck vehicles so we have a few that are running a little late but generally speaking, out of the 86 we are doing very well today."
Warkentin says the problem areas were mainly on country roads that hadn't had a lot of traffic on them yet but adds highways, towns and cities conditions were manageable.
"I was out this morning, in the early early morning it was quite blustery and sort of after that 5:30 into the 6:00 mark the snow stopped and conditions got considerably better and we heard from some of the people further west that it was clearing. That's the way we went with figuring, once the snow stops and the wind dies down a little bit we'll be alright."
As of 11:30 am Manitoba Infrastructure reports most highways in the region are still partly or completely snow covered with blowing and drifting snow.

On Thursday Foster + Partners unveiled designs for an iconic winery "for the Faustino Group, 150km north of Madrid in the Ribera del Duero, one of Spain's foremost wine-producing regions."
Form follows function to striking effect, with the complex processes rationalised to create the optimum conditions for wine production. The material palette of oak, steel and glass relates to the production of wine, itself. Visible from one of the main arteries in the country that links Madrid to Bilbao; the winery will be a new symbol for the group, establishing their new brand, Bodegas Portia.
Reminiscent of the naturally undulating topography of the site, a road climbs to the roof of the building, enabling the harvested grapes to be poured straight down into the hopper, where the wine production process begins. The building's unusual trefoil design is the logical result of a rationalisation of the wine making process into its three core functions. Using gravity to aid movement of the wine within the building, the circulation between the functions is seamless – maximising efficiency and minimising damage to the grapes and wine at their various stages of preparation. The different needs for each stage – the fermentation in steel vats, ageing in oak barrels and finally, ageing in bottles – dictate the three distinct volumes of the building which are controlled by an operations hub at the core. The wings which house the barrels and bottle cellar are partly sunken below ground, providing the most favourable conditions for ageing the wine, while the fermentation wing is exposed, allowing carbon dioxide to be released.
Partly buried within the landscape, the visible impact of the building is reduced and the passive environmental benefits are maximised, as the concrete structure uses thermal mass to control the internal atmosphere. The building is clad in tiles of earth-toned Corten steel, which further enhances a sense of harmony with the dramatic landscape. The design also incorporates photovoltaic cells on the roof, thus lessening the environmental impact. A slim line of day-light in the wings of the vast spaces of the winery delineates the ground level, to aid orientation for both visitors and employees. The main visitor facilities are located at the heart of the building, overlooking the operations hub with access to the public areas on glazed mezzanine levels extending to each wing and to the wine tasting in the cafe and restaurant. Lined with deep-stained old wine barrel slats, they are evocative of the rich tradition of winemaking in the region.
The winery will open in time to process the first harvest of 1.2m kilos of grapes in Spring 2008.

Honey Nut Cereal Bar
My daughter would love to eat breakfast about 9:30 in the morning. The only problem with this is her school day starts at 7:55. One of these ceral bars and her vitamins might be the only things I get her to eat before rushing out the door. You can toss these in a lunchbox and they're not crumbly so you could even say they are safe for the car....but bring wipes for the sticky hands. I adapted this recipe from Martha Stewart, see the original here: http://www.marthastewart.com/1012977/honey-nut-cereal-bar
- 4 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- Pinch cinnamon
- 3 cups Cheerios - Smile Link
- 3/4 cup roasted sunflower seeds
Purchasing with Amazon Smile enables The AmazonSmile Foundation to donate 0.5% of the purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases to a charity of your choice.
Step 1
Line an 8x8 pan with parchment. Combine butter, sugar, honey, salt, and cinnamon in a saucepan.
Step 2
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for 1-2 minutes and remove from heat.
Step 3
Mix in the cereal and seeds.
Step 4
Pour into the pan and press down with a spatula. Let cool at least 30 minutes.
Step 5
Cut into 16 squares and enjoy!

Choice Support is pleased to comply with the new requirements under the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017 for all organisations with 250 or more employees to calculate and publish their gender pay gap annually. We believe that this in an important step towards greater transparency about gender differences in pay that will in time help society achiever an improved gender balance.
This is Choice Support's first gender pay gap report and relates to the snapshot date of 5 April 2017.
In accordance with the legislation we are required to calculate and publish the following information:
|Lower Middle
|Upper Middle
Choice Support works in the social care sector which has a predominately female workforce and across the organisation 74% of our employees are female and 26% male with men and women represented reasonably evenly at every level of the organisation.
The national average gender pay gap (based on the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings figures) is currently 18%. Against that average Choice Support's figures compare very favourably.
The small difference in median pay is due to the slightly higher number of men working in senior positions.
Choice Support is satisfied that our pay rates are fair and free from any gender pay bias and believe that this view is supported by our gender pay report. We will continue to monitor and report on our gender pay gap and will take action to address any issues raised.
I confirm that the above information is accurate and the figures have been calculated using the mechanisms set out in the gender pay gap reporting legislation.

Product Description
Centrecoat PVB Etching Primer is a fast drying primer used for increasing adhesion to surfaces such as zinc, steel, stainless steel, galvanised steel and aluminium.
Best Uses
Polyvinyl butyral (or PVB) is a resin mostly used for applications that require strong binding, optical clarity, adhesion to many surfaces, toughness and flexibility. It is prepared from polyvinyl alcohol by reaction with butyraldehyde.
This product is an excellent adhesion primer for metal containers, ducting and othr general metal work prior to applying a topcoat.
All surfaces must be dry. The temperature of the ambient air, surface or paint should not fall below +5ºC during application or drying. Relative humidity should not exceed 80 %. The surface temperature of the steel should remain at least 3ºC above the dew point. Ensure all oils, grease, salts and dirt are removed by appropriate means.
Steel surfaces: Blast clean to grade Sa2.5. If blast cleaning is not possible, phosphating is recommended for cold rolled steel to improve adhesion.
Zinc surfaces: Sweep blast clean with mineral abrasives, e.g. quartz sand, to an even roughness. If sweep blasting is not possible, the surface should be roughened by hand abrading or washed with an appropriate detergent.
Stainless steel: Roughen the surface by grinding or sweep blasting using mineral abrasives.
Aluminium surfaces: Sweep blast clean with non-metallic abrasives to an even roughness. If sweep blasting is not possible, the surface should be roughened by hand abrading or washed with an appropriate detergent. Apply using an air assisted sprayer. Overcoatable in a wide range of topcoats including single and two pack coatings.

Neil Oliver returns to continue his epic story of how Britain and its people came to be. Diving for 3,000-year-old treasure and pot-holing through an ancient copper mine he discovers how a golden age of bronze collapsed into social and economic crisis set against a period of sharp climate change, eventually to be replaced by a new era, of iron.
Continuing his journey into our ancient past, Neil Oliver explores the age of Celtic Britain – a time of warriors, druids, and kings of unimaginable wealth.
Neil encounters a celebrated warrior from 300 BC, owner of the finest Iron Age sword ever discovered. He tries his hand at divination in an effort to discover the power of Celtic priests and searches into his own DNA for clues to Celtic identity.
Continuing his epic story, Neil Oliver explores the remains of brutal Iron Age battles and Celtic rebellion as he reaches the moment when Celtic Britain was ripped apart by the world's great empire – the Roman army.
Neil Oliver completes his epic journey through thousands of years of ancient history with the modern marvels of Rome. Digging beneath a London tower block, discovering building work from a massive stadium, and encountering the remains of an African woman who lived in York 1800 years ago – all evidence of the extraordinary multicultural modern world of Rome.
Please note that the serie has been released in 2011 and the playlist contains all 4 episodes.

Hours after the black-tie New Year's Eve party at McGarvey's Saloon in Annapolis, a three-alarm fire struck the downtown landmark. Only one section of the business was damaged, and there were no injuries.
"This is certainly not a way to start the New Year's," Jim Fishback, manager of the bar-restaurant near City Dock, said yesterday morning after he inspected the building with firefighters. He called the damage "very minimal".
The undamaged section of the bar that houses the saloon opened for business at 6 p.m. last night. The portion of the building used as a raw bar will reopen in about two weeks, the manager said.

Here we have another example
of how Nepalese people of the hinterland take an essential and
ubiquitous item and turn it into a distinct and varied domestic
art form. This is a scythe - the tool used for hand harvesting
grain or other grasses. The main thing of interest here though
is the carved holder. This one is very old and has a deep rich
patina, which bears witness to years of use. A really nice
example of this genre of domestic art.
What makes these kinds of objects most interesting to many
collectors is what they say about the "culture of work". In
industrialized high tech societies, we tend to clearly define boundaries between work and the
more esoteric aspects of life such as spirituality and for the
most part - aesthetic or artistic concerns. In traditional
non-industrial societies we often see something else entirely.
As here with this grass cutter's ornate sheath, or with the
carved neti (butter churn handles), or with old ornately carved
Himalayan drop spindles and spinning wheels - spiritual and
aesthetic concerns are not divorced from mundane tasks and the
tools that accomplish such work. How many of you have crafted a
finely embellished sheath to store your weed whacker? How about
doing a little bead or embroidery work on your attaché or brief
case? Not even a little decorative etching or inlay work on the
key board of your computer?
No... usually in the modern west, these items are purely utilitarian.
There is no investment of sacredness, esoteric value and
certainly no attribution of any sentient quality, as we find in
animist societies. The only exception tends to be that fraction
of the Western population who give a personal name to their car,
and indeed it is really only with automobiles that we see much
in the way of ritualistic embellishment - maybe something
hanging from the rear view mirror, or an icon or talisman
sitting on the dash board. In more extraordinary examples we
might see custom paint jobs, fancy wheels, and other
modifications. Beyond the occasional vehicular anomaly though...
western man does not invest his "tools" with animistic
properties nor his labour with a spiritual quality that would
justify any sort of artistic investment in his work objects.
This says a great deal about our respective cultures and world
view, and I'm afraid that what it says about Western life may
not be all together flattering - though this is merely my
opinion and one that may not be shared by too many people who
don't have a significant interest in ethnographic matters.
Please note the item number and kindly e-mail your
Visa, American Express, Master Card and Discover are accepted.**

But, by using the point spread, the bookmakers adjusted the terms of the bet, evening the proposition so about half the people believed the Pats to be the smart bet, while the other half considered Philly to be the smart bet..

Now if the Atlanta Falcons can keep some pressure custom basketball jersey design on Eli Manning they will have an opportunity to survive the first round of the playoffs.

Benefits packages for employees of vintage football jerseys colleges and universities often include perks such as discounted tuition.. But it hasn't all gone smoothly. Football's gone to headset. And while maybe it seemed wise to spend $1.9 billion a year for Monday Night Football rights back in 2011, in this age of cord cutters, cord nevers, streaming services and everything else, that figure just seems nuts today.
"I agree with many medical experts that there are still a lot of unanswered questions relating to the cause, incidence and prevalence of CTE. I want the game to stay, and I want it to be safe.

But it remains a mind boggling amount of work for Spielman and his scouts who, if a player has been in the league for 10 years, will have charted and graded his progress and/or decline every step of the way.. "When you're going into a new market, filling stadiums is your number one priority.

In 1983, Andersen posed for a poster in a sheer, belly button baring mesh cut off and tight shorts. But there was no Miracle on Sunday because the Bills never gave the Lions that chance. They use teeth located in their stomachs, eat their molted shells (full of calcium) and can shed appendages if attacked, wounded or surprised, only to regenerate them later.

Such outbursts aside, though, his gripe isn race; it rather, about the soul of the game. Darryl Slater: The Raiders are rolling early on, as they improved to 2 0 with an unsurprising drubbing of the Jets. Granted, he hadn lived up to his billing out of college or his mammoth signing bonus, but he was a plug and play starter for a perennial winner, a lunch pail type on time for team meetings and off season training.
Any hour, day or night. The defensive front can help offset the lack of talent at corner with a dominating pass rush, but even that may not be enough.. According to the Gridiron Uniform Database, the Denver Broncos honored "victims of gun violence and wildfire" on Sept.

But there's a qualifier: This is only the case when the subjects could converse about their confidence in the decision. This actually entirely depends upon the subsidy budget of the government of India. Mark Geragos, one of Kaepernick's attorneys, said in a statement posted on Twitter that the player is being punished for not standing during "The Star Spangled Banner." It was Kaepernick who began that activism during the preseason last year to protest racial inequality and mistreatment of blacks by police.

And that's true of college sports too. He's dealt with an array of injuries groin, hamstring and calf so far, and is just now getting back to full health.

Domainz has been forced to deal with another domain name provider from Australia that has spammed New Zealand customers and its chief executive Derek Locke is calling for the Commerce Commission to act.
"We're about to cut them off at the knees at the registry to stop them registering names. It's not acceptable," says Locke.
The latest Australian company, Internet Registry has targeted New Zealand domain name holders with an email that claims they should register the .com version of their name to "avoid confusion".
If it sounds familiar it's because the Internet Name Group (ING) from Melbourne tried this a few months ago and tried again only last month through a different provider after Domainz had removed their rights in the New Zealand name space (see ING's use of another provider not illegal, but Domainz upset).
One of Domainz's rules for registrars is that they not engage in unsolicited email campaigns, spam, and Locke says any company that does that is in breach of its terms and conditions.
"These guys also have a "whois" button on their site that links straight through to the Domainz site and that's just not on. You're absolutely not allowed to do that."
Locke says such flagrant abuse of both Domainz's systems and the Fair Trading Act should be dealt with quickly and at the highest level. Late yesterday afternoon Locke confirmed he had switched off Internet Registry's access to the Domainz database and also to its own website.
"We are in contact with the Commerce Commission and if that carries on they're going to have to sue them under the Fair Trading Act. It's deceptive and misleading practice."
Locke says he is trying to find out whether Internet Registry is run by the same people that run ING.
Internet Registry's New Zealand office did not immediately return IDGNet calls. Phone numbers listed for the Australian parent company did not appear to be connected.

Franklin and Bear are having a great time playing in fallen fall leaves. They pretend that Bear is a ship captain, Franklin is first mate and that a pile of leaves is the "Red Sea." Then, Jack Rabbit, an older kid, comes along. He comments that he used to play in the leaves, when he was younger. Franklin and Bear say that they weren't playing in them, they just fell in them, by accident. Jack Rabbit, who tells them to call him "Jack," talks with them for a while. Franklin tells him that he's been doing the exercises he's shown him and gotten stronger. Eventually, Jack tells them that he has to leave to go do his paper route. They ask if they can come along and help and Jack agrees. So they tag along as he does his paper route. As they go along, we see that they've taken to wearing their caps backwards, like Jack does. They finish and when Franklin gets back home, he asks his parents if he can have his own paper route. His parents don't think he's ready for it though. They say that maybe he can do it when he's older. One day, Franklin and Bear are playing "Knights" when they see Jack coming. Not wanting to look like dopey little kids, they quickly take off their costumes and hide them. Jack Rabbit comes up and notices that they're still wearing their shinguards. They say that they were skateboarding. But they left their skateboards at home, so they were practicing falling. They talk some and Jack Rabbit says that he has to leave, as he's leaving for the weekend and he needs someone to do his paper route on Saturday. Franklin and Bear tell him that they'll do it. They know his route, so it shouldn't be a problem. Jack agrees, just so long as they get their parents' permission. Back at home, Franklin begs his parents again. They seem a bit more willing this time and ask what Bear's parents said. Bear arrives and says that his parents said yes. So Franklin's parents agree too. Saturday comes and Franklin and Bear find their papers to deliver. Already there are two problems: the Saturday paper is a lot heavier than the Tuesday paper and also, there's a whole bunch of flyers that they first have to bundle in with the papers before they can deliver them. They get to work, but not without a few problems, as the wind starts blowing the papers around. They finally get everything ready, but then find the papers are too heavy to carry. Bear suggests using a wagon. Franklin says that Jack would never use a wagon and that they shouldn't either, as they would look like little kids. Bear reminds him of something: they are little kids. So they use Franklin's wagon to deliver the papers, while their friends are out flying kites. Tired, they're pleased when they've finished the route and Mr. Turtle shows up and offers them a ride home in the car. On the way home, Mr. Turtle asks if Franklin still wants his own paper route, but Franklin is fast asleep, as is Bear. The scene changes and it's another beautiful day. Franklin and Bear are out flying kites. They're back to wearing their hats forwards instead of backwards. Jack comes and they thank him for giving them the kites. Jack says that he wanted to do something nice for them after they did such a good job with his paper route. He says that if they still want their own routes, he can put in a good word for them. But Franklin and Bear tell him that they've decided to wait until they're older. Jack says that he hasn't flown a kite in a long time. He asks if he can and Franklin lets him use the one he gave him. Jack calls it "neat," instead of "cool," the word he usually uses.
"Franklin's Shell Trouble"
Franklin is out playing with his friends when Beaver notices something wrong with the back of his shell. It seems to be peeling or something. They think perhaps that maybe it's just something normal. Bear says that some of his fur comes out every time he brushes it. But Franklin doesn't think that it's normal and says he'd better go home and tell his Mom. At home, Franklin is trying to solve the problem by using bandages. But it's not working. Mrs. Turtle says that she called Dr. Bear and she'll see him without an appointment. At first, Franklin doesn't want to go to the doctor, but after Mrs. Turtle says that the problem might spread, Franklin thinks that maybe it's not such a bad idea. Dr. Bear diagnoses the problem as "carpace eczema." She says that it's commonly known as "shell-flake" and it's easy to treat. However, Franklin doesn't like the treatment: a purple ointment that has to be rubbed all over his shell and is very smelly. Worse, it could take up to two days for it to work. What is he going to tell his friends? The next day, Franklin and his friends are out berry-picking. But Beaver, Bear and Raccoon are off picking berries in one area, while Franklin is all by himself in another area. His friends wonder why he's all by himself. He's been avoiding him all day. Beaver decides to go over and talk to Franklin. The first thing she notices is the awful smell. Then, as Franklin tries to run off, some the purple ointment comes off on a leaf. Beaver notices it and thinks that there's some kind of fungus growing on the berries. She warns everyone not to eat the berries and Bear thinks that he's doomed, as he's already eaten a hundred. Franklin tells them the truth, that the purple stuff is actually the ointment he has to have on his shell. His friends all try to backpedal, saying that maybe it doesn't smell so bad after all, but Franklin leaves, as he knows that it smells bad. Later, Franklin is in his backyard, playing with the garden hose. Bear comes and Franklin asks if he's alone. Bear asks why and Franklin shows him: if he wants to play in the water, he has to wear this bright red shell cap. He doesn't want anyone to see it, so he can't go swimming in the pond. Bear says that he'll clear everyone out of the pond and Franklin can have it all to himself. Bear comes back and tells Franklin that the pond is all clear. So Franklin comes back, but is startled when he hears his friends returning. Worse, it would seem that Bear is in on it too! Franklin turns around and looks at his friends: they're all wearing silly shower caps! Now they look just as goofy as him! They tell him that they're his friends and they never minded that he looked different. He's just Franklin to them. They proceed to have a splashfight, but not before Franklin covers his shell back up completely.moreless

Nationwide claims HSBC's rate matcher guarantee is a gimmick and says it has no plans to copy the scheme.
Rate matcher guarantees to match the fixed rates of existing borrowers coming off two, three and five-year deals for a variable fee.
But Nationwide non-retail executive director Matthew Wyles says the society already gets high levels of retention through consistent deals. He says: "I think it is a bit of a gimmick. We consistently offer competitive deals to our existing customers and will be carrying on with what we are doing. We do not feel the need to pull the rabbit out of the hat."
HSBC's scheme will run until at least the end of April and allows borrowers to re-fix over one, two, three or five years.
Under the terms of the deal, borrowers pay a fee to match their old fixed rate depending on the length of the fixed term and rate paid.
An HSBC spokesman says: "It is certainly not a gimmick for those customers who are on low rates looking to switch. The offers that people can switch on to speak for themselves."
HSBC estimates that over 93 per cent of its borrowers coming off fixed-rate mortgages in February will pay £500 or less.
John Charcol senior technical manager Ray Boulger says: "The degree of flexibility is good and the rates it is offering seem to be quite competitive, even with the fees involved."
HSBC head of mortgages Martijn van der Heijden says the firm's rate matcher offer is "designed to smooth out the ups and downs of moving between mortgage deals and create a sustainable platform for homeownership".
