Lisa's School project helping poor children in Kenya
Liz Long, from Paignton, spoke to us on how she and others founded and continue to support Lisa's school in Northern Kenya. The development of the school can be found on their website http://www.lisasschool.org with numerous pictures.
Liz first showed us excellent pictures of elephants, lions, leopards and other wildlife in Samburu National Park in Northern Kenya, before moving on to the local town of Archer's Post. It is situated in a very arid, dusty area where goat herding is a prime source of income.
Liz learnt that Government supported education starts at 6 years of age and there was a need for earlier schooling between 3 and 6 years.
She started fund raising with friends for such a school and they channelled the funds through Brian Freeman who runs a local Game Reserve.
The pictures of the school with the happy young children in their uniforms and their parents in their bright robes and beads is a real beacon of hope in a desperately poor community.
Liz and friends have funded the building of the school and toilets and now fund the staff wages, the books and pencils, uniforms, food to nourish the pupils and a computer plus health care, that's included two operations of a hernia and a brain tumour. Liz confessed to many sleepless nights worrying about what they had started and letting down the hopes of the children and their parents.
We made a small contribution to this inspiring project and I'm sure you too will be moved by following the above website link.

Lacunar stroke is small but significant
Print this Article Email this Article
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 66-year-old man who thought he was in good shape except for a touch of high blood pressure. About a week ago, I suddenly noticed that my left arm and left leg had gone limp. I had to be careful how I walked, and I couldn't hold on to anything. My wife said the left side of my face looked funny, too. The next day, everything was back to normal. My wife insisted that I see the doctor, and he insisted that I have a brain scan. The report said, "Compatible with a lacunar stroke." What is that? The doctor has me taking aspirin and has changed my blood pressure medicine. How serious is this?
The Latin word "lacuna" is "a small cavity or a hole." A lacunar stroke is one due to occlusion of a tiny brain artery that causes a similarly tiny hole in brain tissue. Blood supply to that part of the brain has been cut off.
Yours is the typical story told by those who have had such a stroke. Up to 60 percent of such patients complain of the sudden onset of arm and leg weakness on one side. The face on that side is weakened, too, and looks odd. People who have this kind of stroke never have trouble expressing themselves, as do people who suffer the more common and larger strokes.
Lacunar strokes don't leaving a lasting deficit. People regain what they lost, and usually do so in quick order.
MRI brain scans shows lacunar strokes clearly. A CT brain scan also can spot them.
Almost always, high blood pressure is involved. Just how high is "a touch of high blood pressure"? You have to take blood pressure control most seriously. Get a home blood pressure kit and take your pressure twice a day. You must take the same preventive steps that people who have had a major stroke take: weight reduction if that applies, limitation of salt, daily exercise within the limits prescribed by your doctor and a diet change to include much more fruits, vegetables and grains and much less meat and fats.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a female in my 80s and have had one child.
I have hair growing on the small of my back, just above the buttocks in the middle. All these years, a doctor has never explained why this is, and I have been too shy to ask. Can you enlighten me on this?
— Anon.
One possible explanation is spina bifida occulta, a malformation of one or two of the lower backbones.
During fetal development, those bones grow from their sides and form an arch over the spinal cord. In spina bifida occulta, there's a gap at the top of the arch. A sign that this has happened is hair growing on the lower back in the place where you indicate. For most with this defect, no symptoms arise. It causes no trouble to the spine or nerves.
If I am right about this, you're an example of one who hasn't suffered any disturbance from this slight abnormality that has been present all your life. The only way to know for sure is to have an X-ray. I don't recommend you do that.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Quite often, I go to bed with my hair up in rollers and fasten them with metal clips. Is this harmful in any way? Could it cause ringing in the ears upon arising from sleep? I'd appreciate your thoughts on the above.
It sounds painful to me. Don't the rollers dig into your scalp? If they don't hurt and they aren't cutting you, I can't see how this does you any harm.
It is not the cause of ringing in your ears.
Readers may write to Dr. Donohue or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando FL 32853-6475.

The Power Of Touch
Sunday, January 14, 2018
Photo by Caroline Hernandez on Unsplash
Day 1: Read Genesis 2:7. In other aspects of creation, God says the word and it is. Why did he touch the ground and breath life? What does this say about God's value on touch? About our value on touch?
Day 2: Read Matthew 19:14-15. How have you seen children demonstrate the need or desire for touch? How do you experience touch best? Express touch best?
Day 3: Read Leviticus 11:39. When you think of inappropriate touch what comes to mind? How has the levels of inappropriate touch impacted how you touch others? What does seeing touch as an important part of blessing others impact how you give and receive touch?
Day 4: Read Mark 1:40-41. Jesus just could have said the word to heal this leper, but he also adds an element of touch to heal the man's heart. Who are untouchables God might be calling you to touch? When have you experienced life as an untouchable been blessed with the touch of someone else?
Day 5: Read Isaiah 6:7. In the sacraments, God not only speaks a word of forgiveness, He also provides a touch of forgiveness. When you remember your baptism and partake of the Lord's Supper, what does it mean for you that God seeks to touch you in this way?
Day 6: Read 1 John 1:1. Our faith is based not on fantasy, but what early followers experienced and touched in knowing Jesus. As you have lived out this past week, how has the touch of Jesus been at work in your life? Through your life to bless others with touch? As you look into the week ahead, how might God be calling you to bring meaningful, appropriate touch to the life of another?
You can Go Deeper this week by reading the book The Blessing: Giving the Gift of Unconditional Love and Acceptance (Revised & Updated) by John Trent and Gary Smalley.
You can also listen to this week's message or read the full PDF of the message & GPS.

Hens Night Party at The Black Swan
It's always fun to go for Hens Night Party! I have went for a few previously and this time, it's my turn! I am really lucky because The Black Swan has kindly planned a night of great food and fun for me. Occupying a beautiful three-storey space that once housed the Kwangtung Provincial Bank's headquarters in Singapore, the restaurant injects fresh glamour and life into the district.
The Black Swan is the ultimate party venue for you and your friends! Upon entering, we are greeting by a stunning horseshoe shaped bar at its centre. Their cocktails are what make us special, so why not learn from the best and take a class in cocktail making? Their cocktail masterclasses are a great way to start. So let them plan your party in style!
If you are wonder, the dress code for that night is SEXY RED. I wanted all my ladies to put on their most stunning red dress. I am glad that all of them are very sporty! I seriously think every hen party should have cocktails included as part of a great night out. However drinking cocktails is just part of the fun. Learning how to make your favourite cocktails can be just as much fun as drinking them.
Cocktail Masterclass helps to build up to the celebration. During the masterclass, we learn a bit about the history of cocktails but mostly you will have a great time getting behind the bar preparing cocktail. Not only do you get to learn about cocktail making, you'll also get to taste your concoctions along the way! We have our own handsome and dedicated bartender for the duration of the class. A party is never complete without cocktails!
We made Moscow Mule, also known as a Vodka buck, made with a high quality vodka, a spicy ginger beer, and lime juice, garnished with a slice or wedge of lime. It is quite simple to do and usually served in a copper mug. The vodka is served with Hokaiddo Scallop Tartare in kombu & citrus dressing.
South Side cocktail originated from New York. It is a simple and refreshing gin-based cocktail, mint-kissed with a touch of citrus. Paired with this refreshing drink is lamb rack with tomato compote.
I think after this class, all my girls have skilfully prepared and mixed cocktails for the next party! Be it birthday parties, team-building, hen-parties or a relaxed night out with friends – whatever the occasion, Black Swan is sure to provide a masterclass that is just right for you. Each masterclass is opened for minimum 7 pax to maximum 15 guests at $78++ per person.
The Black Swan launches a new menu dedicated to grand bistro classics executed with a contemporary twist. Indulge in small and large plates that will suit your every fancy, such as Char-Grilled Beef Tartare, Pan-seared Foie Gras with Yuzu Marmalade, and Whole Cracked Maine Lobster. Or delve into platters of freshly shucked oysters, gourmet charcuterie and house-made crostini.
Some classics are untouchable, such as Caesar salad ($18) served with one-hour poached egg. There's little point in trying to improve on perfection. It's difficult to get it wrong, and it is definitely a great start to the night before the meats come in. Another dish that appealed to more sophisticated diners is Steak Tartare ($26). Using USDA 365 days grain fed beef with crispy sunchoke and raw egg, it managed to bring out the rich and light and sweet all at once.
We also had a martini glass of prawn cocktail ($28). Peeled shrimp certainly wins the prize for convenience. What's interesting is the Baked Bone Marrow ($18) with chilli and kombu that's rich, decadent and melt-in-the-mouth fat served with grilled toasts.
Before serving the mains, we were treated to a row of Martini trolley. CHEERS EVERYONE!
The restaurant now offers a lavish spread, to feed as many as eight, centered on a half suckling pig ($148). Made using pork air-flown from Spain, the meat is painstakingly brined for 24 hours with herbs, sous vide and then roasted to crisp perfection on the outside while it remains tender within. Displayed in an enormous wooden platter, it is portioned into smaller pieces for convenience. The piglet is so tender and the skin is super crispy. As the knife slices through the crispy skin and meat, you get to witness just now tender and juicy the pork is before even savoring. 2 days advance order is required.
A signature that you must not miss is The Black Swan Burger with seasoned chuck, mature cheddar, bibb lettuce, sunny side up egg, streaky bacon, toasted bun and served with fries. For something lighter, the Pan Roasted Barramundi ($36) with green papaya and pineapple salsa is a great option. The crispy barramundi was done nicely, even if it didn't wow. The tanginess of the pineapple salsa is perfectly balanced with a lightness from the fish.
I am impressed with The Black Swan Fireball ($22) featuring a chocolate sphere filled with berries compote, crunchy pearls and vanilla ice cream. Another option is Profiteroles ($16). The choux pastry is made with homemade milk ice cream and brandy-laced dark chocolate sauce.
Thank you The Black Swan for arranging their private dining room for us. Located in the original bank vault of the building, the private dining room is a respite for the discerning. Handsomely refurbished and hidden from plain sight, it is favoured with updated luxuries, best enjoyed in good company of up to 12 guests.
We know that it's the friends and people that make it a great event. Thank you to all my favourite ladies for being so fun! If you are looking for hen party ideas, you have come to the right place. Gather your girls together and prepare for a night to remember. 🙂

A Norfolk-based developer wants to build 205 single-family and duplex homes over 50 acres of the City Farm property, with a 100-foot-wide band of public space along the Warwick River, the Daily Press was told on Wednesday.
Frye Properties is proposing to build a neighborhood that would consist of high-end homes, each priced around $500,000, said Joe Frank, an attorney for Frye and former mayor of Newport News. He declined to say what they are offering the city for the land because it's proprietary information and could help potential competitors if someone else submits a proposal.
Frye wants to model the neighborhood after East Beach in Norfolk, a community along the Chesapeake Bay that was also developed by Frye. Those luxury homes sit on a site that's almost double the size of City Farm, but many of their characteristics would be duplicated, Frank said.
"This gives an opportunity for creating a community that has the feel of a neighborhood," Frank said.
A promotional video of East Beach on Frye's website describes those homes as "traditional Atlantic coastal" style, "nestled in a relaxed resort-setting." There are community areas where people can sit by fire pits, a space for concerts and a community swimming pool. East Beach is described in the video as the "perfect collaboration of man and nature."
City Farm sits next to the James River Wastewater Treatment Plant. In the most recent concept drawing, there are no houses immediately next to the plant, Frank said. Frye would work with the Hampton Roads Sanitation District to create some kind of buffer to screen it from the community, he said.
A key component of Frye's proposal is to avoid cookie-cutter homes, Frank said. Buyers wouldn't be purchasing lots, but if they show interest, they can choose different elements to customize a house from an architect-approved pattern book.
Frye would hire local contractors to build out the development, Frank said.
Frank said he didn't know how big each lot would be because the plans are still evolving. When asked if they would each be about a quarter of an acre — the acreage divided by the number of proposed homes — he said that would be inaccurate because it doesn't include space for roads or other amenities.
The only access to the area would be Riverview Parkway, just past City Farm Road. Frye Properties would pay to widen that road, Frank said.
There would be a 100-foot buffer along the length of the property where City Farm meets the Warwick River. It would be public, city-owned land where people could walk or ride bikes, Frank said. Frye would maintain the land because they "want to assure it gets the quality that the development area deserves," Frank said.
Frye would rehabilitate the pier and create a parking lot there, giving nonresidents access the waterfront, Frank said. There would be benches and overlooks there, he said.
The site of the old barn, which was torn down last month, Frye would like to use as a neighborhood farmers market or a space for small concerts.
The developer is not proposing a public-private partnership with the city, Frank said. The city would be asked to do two things: pay for an environmental study of the area and tear down the buildings remaining from the old jail facility that was shut down last year, he said.
The plan was presented to the City Council during a three-hour closed session on Tuesday. About a dozen people showed up to the City Council meeting that night and urged council members not to sell the 58-acre property.
Councilwoman Pat Woodbury repeated on Tuesday and Wednesday what she has said all along: She is against any development on City Farm.
"Why not let our citizens who pay the taxes, who own the property, be able to enjoy it?" Woodbury said Wednesday. "It could be something that everybody could enjoy."
She also questioned if there is a market in Newport News for $500,000 homes. Frank said the real estate listing services they consulted showed 19 homes in Newport News were priced at over $500,000. He didn't know how recent those figures were.
In general, Frank said there is a lack of upscale homes in the city. It drives "business leaders" and other people who are looking for luxury homes to places like York County, Williamsburg and even Isle of Wight County, he said.
Mixed feelings among neighbors
Upon hearing the proposed plan, Lucy van Tine, secretary for Citizens for Riverview Farm Park, said, "This is our worst nightmare."
She recalled that in 1990, then City Council members showed support to turn the entire area into a public park. That needs to hold strong, she said, and there's plenty of support for that idea.
"Unless the people have access to the James River, we are not going to be a first-class city," she said. "We're going to be a second-class city of those who have a view of the river and those who don't have view of the river."
On Wednesday, resident Patrick M. Wright, who spoke at Tuesday's City Council meeting, heard the words "205 homes" and "public access" before saying, "I don't need to hear any more."
"As far as I'm concerned, I don't want to hear about whoever's trying to appropriate this public land for private use," said Wright, who on Tuesday had urged the City Council to be transparent through this process. "I want a park-recreation-historical area, some combination of that, where everybody in the city can take in the waterfront view."
Some city residents enjoying the pre-Thanksgiving sunshine at nearby Riverview Farm Park thought development made sense to replace the old City Farm, though many were unaware that it is no longer a jail facility.
"If we had a nice neighborhood, that wouldn't be so bad," said Dolores Brown, minding her son Anthony at the Fantasy Farm.
"I think it could be a good thing," said Alexis Mooring, letting her Yorkie puppies frolic in the dog park next to City Farm. She said she had not realized the jail was shut, but felt the city had enough green space.
Adam Carrier, minding his kids and bouncing 5-month-old Henry against his chest, wasn't so sure.
"First, there's the traffic," he said.
"And I don't think luxury homes would really fit in here," he said.
Carrier said he was suprised at the scale of the proposal.
"Whoa!" he said, looking at a map of Frye's proposal. "That's a lot of houses. I thought they'd be talking about more green space."
Jim Kosler, walking with his two granddaughters at the City Farm overlook by the Warwick River, didn't like the idea of the development at all.
"I've lived here since 1964, when it was all open; they keep putting up houses and cutting down trees. I think it's enough," he said. "They've been talking about making a park here since I was in Menchville High."
Council mostly mum
Councilwoman Tina Vick said she didn't want to comment on the specific proposal but supports the idea of development on waterfront property.
Mayor McKinley L. Price, Councilman Bert Bateman and Councilwoman Saundra Cherry declined to comment on the proposal Wednesday. During the City Council meeting, Price and Bateman said they are open to all perspectives on the property. Cherry said she will base her eventual decision on what the public wants.
Council members Sharon Scott and Marcellus Harris did not return calls for comment.
City Manager Jim Bourey declined to comment on the proposal but wanted to dispel the idea that the proposal was pre-planned. Both he and Frank said that the council members had hardly any discussion after the presentation. Bourey said the council will likely wait for an archaelogical study of the land before deciding how to proceed.
"People have made all kinds of statements about the city soliciting development and having a plan, and none of that is true," Bourey said. "I've never done anything that relates to advocating for doing any planning work whatsoever, and I won't be."

In 1933 Erwin Schrodinger won the Nobel Prize for his contribution to Quantum Mechanics. He imagined a box in which a cat can be both living and dead, at the same time. In 1998 Reckless Sleepers built that box – and now nearly twenty years later, they are climbing back inside.
In one of the company's most celebrated performance pieces the laws of gravity, logic and existence are made, bent and then broken – the impossible is probable, truth and illusion are inseparable. Schrodinger is a visually mesmerizing performance that sways between question and answer, between chaos and order, between what we can pin down and what we can't.

On a chowhound suggestion, my wife and I hit Theo's for lunch and wished we had dinner there rather than the Cardinal room at the Pinehurst resort. Plenty of bright, clean flavors and friendly vibes to go around at Theo's and the prices were great.
As for the Cardinal room...The menu read somewhat impressive if not a bit old school, but the room lacked anything resembling charm. We'd been able to add dinner to our stay for only $20 per person and I was a bit nervous when we informed that we could choose two dishes from the app/soup/salad side of the menu and one from the entree. My comment to my wife was, "They shouldn't be able to do this well for $20". My fears were ultimately confirmed.
Her seared Ahi was fine enough I suppose, but my "Open faced lobster ravioli with Asparagus and Black Truffle" amounted to adequate little chunks of lobster and completely flavorless shavings of truffle smothered in what seemed like lipton's cream of mushroom soup. The "open faced ravioli" was actually a stale fried wonton shell of sorts. Her house salad was completely swimming in a rather cloying dressing and my smoked phesant consumme reeked of msg laden base. Her salmon entree seemed fine enough if a bit over cooked and my prime rib was ok but for the miserable creamed spinach and gooey jus that it sat in. We decided to skip dessert.
Fortunately we'd enjoyed a ripe chevre banon, some great lox and a perfect loaf of weaver st. bread along with a bottle of Blanc de Blanc that's we'd brought with us from Chapel Hill prior to going down for dinner, so we weren't all that hungry.
When we'd made the reservations, they told us that we could choose to enjoy our included dinner at one of their less formal venues and I now wish we had. I'd have been completely happy with a burger or something.

While the lure of Pattaya's go-go bars and beautiful Thai women may have attracted hordes of male visitors over the years, earning the city something of a reputation, over the past few decades the city has evolved info a family-oriented destination. Pattaya is by no means a secluded seaside getaway, but what it makes up for in tropical tranquility, it more than makes up for in the wide spectrum of facilities and amenities on offer.
The expansive grounds of Chaloemphrakiat Park provide visitors and locals alike with an excellent space to enjoy Pattaya's balmy climate and a rainbow of flora and fauna. The 6 acre park was dedicated to His Majesty King Rama IX in celebration of his 60th birthday in 1988.
For travellers that enjoy filling up on knowledge, Pattaya is interspersed with a selection of museums and galleries, including Anek Kuson Sala. This art gallery houses an impressive display of antiques, including terracotta soldiers and horses taken from the tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. If you are travelling with children, a trip to Ripley's Believe It Or Not is a fun way to break up a week of poolside activities. Children that visit the venue are delighted by the "Haunted Experience" show, the 4D movie theatre and the "Infinity Maze" game. The relatively new Art in Paradise is a 3D art gallery with plenty of optical illusionary photo opportunities.
Travel tip: From waterparks to miniature cities, Pattaya is a playground for children as much as it is for adults. Here are some activities to do with the younger members of the family.
Islands: The islands scattered off the coast of Pattaya make for a great day trip for travelers that want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Koh Lan is just 45 minutes off offshore, and offer snorkeling opportunities from its Laem Thian and Thong Long beaches. Another nearby snorkeling and scuba diving hotspot, though not the most brilliant, can be found in the waters off Koh Phai, which is situated eight miles west of Koh Lan and a one hour ferry ride from Pattaya.
Opened in 2009, the expansive Central Festival Mall puts Pattaya on the map for high end shopping and dining, and is one of the largest malls in Asia. Located near to Pattaya Beach Road, this shopping centre offers shoppers fashion, health and beauty, electronics and food. Central Festival also boasts its own cinema complex and bowling alley on the top floor. Other malls include the P.S Plaza, the Royal Garden Plaza and Mike Shopping Mall, where visitors can hunt for clothing bargains on the ground floor before heading to the fifth floor food court for a bite to eat.
In Central Pattaya, the Made In Thailand Night Plaza sells a hodge podge of everything from household items to same same t-shirts. In addition, while the Market Pattaya on Second Road may not have the same hustle and bustle of its rival bazaars, on some evenings it is possible to catch students performing traditional songs and dance on a small stage.
The best place to head for food is Pattaya Beach, where you can find a multitude of cheap diners or roadside stalls serving delicious meals for under THB50 (US$1.50). There is a lot of competition for business, so visitors will find that prices are generally competitive. There are also a great many places to eat at Jomtien Beach, although the cuisine on offer probably is not as varied as what is on offer at Pattaya Beach, save for some fine establishments including Pu Pen, a seaside open air restaurant serving fine seafood prepared in a mouthwatering number of ways.
However, visitors in the mood for a party should head to Pattaya's Walking Street at about 10 p.m. as the vivid colours of its night scene begin to come alive.
Over the years, it is perhaps the energetic reputation of Pattaya's nightlife that has made the city such a hit with foreign tourists. Indeed, after Bangkok, Pattaya is the second most visited destination in the whole of Thailand. For a relaxing, family-friendly evening visitors usually head to the Jomtien Beach area where an evening stroll along the Bay Promenade followed by a tip to the bowling alley makes for a fun-packed evening.
If the songtaew is not for you, a local bus route was introduced in March 2012, which runs in a circular loop beginning at the Pattaya Floating Market, stopping at popular tourist destinations like Pattaya Beach Road, Walking Street and Jomtien Beach Road. A bus ticket will set you back THB30 (US$0.90).
If you find yourself short of time, the quickest way to navigate your way around the bustling streets of Pattaya is by motorbike taxi. Drivers wear brightly colored vests, so they are easy to identify. Though cheaper than songtaews, passengers should make sure they hold on tight as they thread through the traffic that clogs many of Pattaya's main roads.
Car rentals are available, however, the standard of driving on Pattaya's roads may be something different to what you are accustomed too. Visitors who want to explore Pattaya independently and get a little exercise whilst they are at it can hire a bicycle. One rental shop, Kokonok, is situated at the northern end of the city while another, Canterbury Tales Café, is situated just of Soi Buakhao near the LK Metro. Bicycles can be hired from around THB75 (US$2.40) per day.
Due to its close proximity to Bangkok, many visitors choose to drive to Pattaya in their own privately rented vehicle. Drivers can take Bangkok's Outer Ring Road and follow the Bangkok-Chon Buri-Pattaya Motorway down to the seaside resort in a comfortable two hours or less, depending on traffic.
By Plane
Pattaya's airport, U-Tapao-Rayong-Pattaya International Airport, is situated 30km south of the town. While it is the closest airport to Pattaya that is served by commercial flights, there are no direct connections to Bangkok, with the only domestic connections being to Phuket and Koh Samui.
Alternatively, Pattaya can be accessed easily by visitors who fly into Thailand's national Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is situated on the outskirts of Bangkok approximately 110km from Pattaya. Connecting from Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya by road only takes around 90 minutes in good driving conditions.
Buses from Bangkok to Pattaya depart from the eastern Ekamai Bus Terminal and the northern Mo Chit Bus Terminal on a regular basis, usually every 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the time of day.
The journey usually takes around two and a half hours, although if you catch the bus from the Southern Sai Tai Taling Chan Bus Terminal it may take a little longer.
First class services drop travelers off at the bus terminal on North Pattaya Road, which is a THB25 (UX$0.80) ride to Beach Road on a songtaew. Passengers who want to save a little money can pay just THB100 (US$3.20) for the second class bus to Pattaya, though they should bear in mind that there is usually no toilet on board and due to the high frequency of stops the journey tends to be a lot longer.
By train
For tourists set on experiencing Thailand's public transport system, rail is the most economical way to make the journey from Bangkok to Pattaya. Paying THB31 (US$1) for a third class ticket can be an interesting experience for many travellers. On weekdays, a third class train leaves Bangkok's Hua Lamphong Station at 6:50 a.m. and arrives into Pattaya at 10:18 a.m. Despite being the cheapest way to get to Pattaya, the train is fairly slow and can take as long as three and a half hours in comparison to two and half hours on the bus.

Again, the trusty mini van comes through.

The Village at Auburn University is an eight-building community of residence halls, housing more than 1,500 students in modern, comfortable suites. Throughout the considerable project, HPM served as a guide for the process and an ambassador for the owner, keeping Auburn administrators informed, representing their interests and ensuring that every aspect of design and construction suited their needs.
In addition to keeping the owner informed and happy, HPM's team had to look out for a very important group of stakeholders—the students, who were still on campus and in the vicinity of the job site during construction. While the contractors were well accustomed to large-scale residential construction, working on an active campus is a singular experience, and extra care had to be taken. Through careful scheduling, planning, direction, signage and wayfinding and after-hours site security, HPM guided the process to a safe and successful conclusion for school administrators, students and the parents who wanted to know their students were safe on campus.
HPM's responsibility to our clients doesn't end when construction does. The final punch list isn't the end. Ensuring that the owner gets what they paid for means avoiding additional repair costs due to problems in the future. That's how HPM's project manager ended up on the ground, examining every square inch of air barrier and water barrier before the masonry went up, and on the roof of all eight buildings, inspecting nail patterns before the shingles were installed. When HPM returned to look over the project a year later, they were met by a smiling maintenance crew. Nothing spells success better than a building with quality and durability standing the test of time.

I'm Matt Long an actor/writer/producer and company director of Norwich based film production company Bulldog Films Ltd.
In June Bulldog Films will start filming Norfolk based feature film 'Soldiers of Embers'. This is a film that I wrote in August 2015, since then it has been through many script drafts to get where we are today. I am also playing a lead role and producing the film. Checkout www.bulldogfilms.net where you will see press releases, a radio interview and our full Promo trailer which was recently released.
Soldiers of Embers is generating a lot of interest with a great cast on-board. We have Wayne Gordon who appeared in James Bond Skyfall and was also Gladiator Doom in the Gladiators TV show. Two of the cast members, Stacey Gough and Cara Middleton have recently returned from a week in L.A where they had the chance to audition in Hollywood so there is some fantastic talent attached to this film. I also have a very experienced production team behind me who are very passionate about making the best film that we can.
Plot : Ex Para Trooper Jack Bishop is adjusting back to civilian family life whilst trying to reconnect with his teenage daughter. Whilst Jack was away fighting he felt guilty for not being around for his little girl whilst she was growing up. Soldiers of Embers follows Jack into an exciting action packed dramatic story of brotherhood and vengeance.
The film teaser trailer has been getting fantastic feedback from all over the UK, New York and Los Angeles film festivals. The main promo trailer has definitely got the interest of people in the industry all over the globe. Its good to show what us Brits can do in Indie Film.
This film is all about putting Norfolk back on the film making map as we have some fantastic locations in the region and I am trying to show that Independent film making does not need to always be London-Centric. We are obviously doing something right as Indie films of this genre do not always get this much attention in the States but we seem to be building a fantastic following overseas. An incredible amount of hard work has done into getting where we are today as there are many challenges when starting out as a new company and getting everything in place to get the project off the ground. I came across many obstacles along the way but through sheer determination and hard work and I'm pleased that we are now ready to start filming the main feature. I really want to inspire other film makers to use their creative talents and no matter how many bumps they face in the road, keep chipping away and not let anything put them off bringing their ideas to life.
Being born and bred in Norfolk it has been fantastic to see so many local businesses support this film by providing locations and props. Local businesses such as Club VuDu, Redco, Norwich City College and St Marys Church in North Tuddenham have been key to providing great locations. The people in my home city of Norwich have been fantastic and we've had some very enthusiastic supporting artists who have showed some real hidden talent.
I also think it is important to give back and offer opportunities in this tough industry. I have taken on make-up students from Norwich City College to work alongside an experienced make-up artist to give them valuable experience on a film set. They have done a fantastic job and learnt a lot, you can see some fantastic photos on the behind the scenes section of the website.
I'm always keen to work with new talent and businesses so if anyone thinks they can contribute to the film please get in touch. I'm always on the lookout for other filming locations, vehicles and props so always happy to network and make new contacts.

Beer Stats
- Brewery –Great Divide in Denver, CO
- Beer Name – Barrel Aged Yeti (2016)
- Served in an Austin Beer Works glass
- Style – Imperial Stout
- IBU – ?? (original Yeti is 75)
- Untappd score – 4.294 (543 ratings)
Beer Notes
Like many breweries, Great Divide has taken their signature stout, Yeti (which I have never actually tried) and done all kinds of things to it. In the past I have tried their Chocolate and Espresso versions, which were quite delicious. This one is delicious as well. There is some chocolate and coffee flavors here too, along with bourbon and vanilla. Lots going on here. I run out of things to say about a lot of these bourbon barrel stouts. They are almost always delicious and there are only so many ways to describe them, but this is one of the top ones so far!
Other Notes
No politics today. There's a lot going on though and I'll catch up tomorrow! Just know, Trump is still a worthless asshole as usual.

Summary of Conclusions and Recommendations
Submitted November5, 2003
The Kansas Summit on Natural Gas was organized by the State Energy Resources Coordination Council (SERCC)* at the request of Governor Sebelius, to bring together stakeholders to discuss natural gas supply constraints, higher prices, and the impacts these are likely to have on Kansans this winter and into the future. The summit was held in Topeka on October 2, 2003, at the Washburn University Memorial Union (see program below). Approximately 150 people attended the daylong summit to hear presentations from national and state experts and to work together to develop recommendations for future action. This report highlights some of the conclusions and recommendations that emerged from the summit.
Short-term Outlook and Recommendations
Price—Over the summer many Kansans, like consumers across the country, saw a sharp increase in the price of natural gas on their monthly bills. These higher prices are likely to continue through the winter heating season, resulting in higher heating bills for all Kansans and especially impacting those with low or fixed incomes. This will put additional pressure on already strained social service and home-heating assistance programs.
Individuals can reduce consumption (and thereby their heating bills) by implementing conservation and low-cost energy efficiency measures, such as lowering thermostat settings, plugging leaks, adding insulation. SERCC produced and widely distributed a brochure, prepared in cooperation with KSU Energy Extension, describing actions that consumers can take to lower energy bills.
Production— Higher prices have stimulated natural gas production (up 2.5% in the first half of 2003, following a decline of 3% in 2002). However, this will have little effect on the supply and price of natural gas in the short term, as existing production capacity is not capable of meeting the increasing demand for natural gas (which the U.S. Energy Information Administration projects to increase 50% in the next 20 years).
Storage— Due to high levels of injection into storage over the past months, natural gas supplies are within the five-year average range. As of October 10, 2003, natural gas in storage was 2,944 bcf (billion cubic feet), compared to a low of 623 bcf on April 11, 2003, following last year's heating season. By the end of the storage season (November 1, 2003), natural gas storage is projected to be at least 3,025 bcf (and could be higher if recent higher rates of storage continue). Whether this supply will be sufficient to meet demand throughout the winter heating season depends on the weather (see Figure 1). The record demand for natural gas to put into storage has helped keep prices high and drawn natural gas away from some price-sensitive industries such as fertilizer manufacturing.
Figure 1—Monthly U.S. natural gas storage, 2000–2003, with projections for the first half of 2004. Colored band shows the normal storage range from previous four years. Projected withdrawal rates for the 2003–2004 heating season are based on withdrawals during the colder than normal 2002–2003 (blue line) and warmer than normal 2001–2002 (red line) heating seasons (Tim Carr, Kansas Geological Survey, personal communication, October 17, 2003).
Recommendations— Because little can be done in the short term to increase production or decrease demand (and thereby reduce the price of natural gas), most of the recommendations developed by the summit attendees address longer-term changes(see below). However, the following recommendations target actions that can be taken immediately to mitigate the impact of higher natural gas prices this winter.
• Increase federal funding for LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) allocations and arrange for timelier disbursements (i.e., before onset of cold weather). Contact Kansas Congressional delegation to urge action during this year's budgetary process.
• Encourage greater cooperation and communication among social service agencies (state and local) and utilities for most effective delivery of LIHEAP and weatherization services.
• Promote multi-sector educational efforts to inform Kansans about high natural gas prices and conservation techniques to reduce energy bills.
Long-term Outlook and Recommendations
This year's tight natural gas supplies and higher prices are expected to continue for at least the next few years. Resolving the current natural gas issues will involve a variety of changes, including bolstering natural gas supplies (from domestic production and imports), reducing demand through conservation and energy-efficiency efforts, and greater reliance on alternative fuels (including renewable energy resources).
Currently, SERCC is reviewing all the recommendations brought forward during the natural gas summit for inclusion in its 2004 Kansas Energy Plan. The following recommendations were developed during four breakout sessions, addressing ways to (1) reduce consumption, (2) increase production, (3) lessen impacts on consumers, and (4) educate Kansans about natural gas issues. They are arranged topically, without ranking or priority, and without assessment or comment.
• Sponsor additional stakeholder meetings on energy issues.
Consolidate and fund Kansas energy planning efforts
• Consolidate state energy functions.
• Establish an Energy Policy Office at the Kansas Corporation Commission that has adequate staffing to compile complete energy usage data for all Kansas customers and catalog energy programs in use nationwide.
• Establish a cabinet-level Secretary of Energy.
• Establish funding mechanism for energy planning effort and actions, such as a systems benefit charge (SBC).
• Provide funding for SERCC and energy plan through systems benefit charge (SBC) or other source.
• Explore the possibility of a Universal Service Fund or Systems Benefit Charge to benefit Kansas state conservation and/or low-income assistance efforts.
• Develop a Kansas Renewable Resources Action Plan (KRRAP) for all renewables as part of the state's long-term energy vision.
• Determine the impacts of a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) on Kansas for all renewable resources.
Home heating and low-income consumers
• Lobby federal policymakers for additional Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) funding and timelier disbursement of LIHEAP payments.
• Review and potentially revise the Cold Weather Rule. Examine in particular those disconnection / reconnection policies regarding owners and tenants.
• Expand and promote to other utilities the existing Kansas Gas Service billing program to target excessive customer gas usage and develop histories of customer shutoffs by specific dwelling.
• Convene a working group of utilities, Kansas Corporation Commission staff and emergency service providers to analyze shut-off data by neighborhood and target outreach efforts to those areas. After a third payment default shut-off at a rental dwelling, require the landlord to co-sign for reconnection. Train gas inspectors to report on furnace efficiency as well as just the safety of the appliance.
• Limit the amount of bad debt that can be written off, particularly from repeated excessive usage at the same customer dwelling.
• Seek direct state appropriations to assist low-income customers with high heating bills.
Changes to tax law
• Clarify Kansas law so that conservation investments and services are treated equally to that of producing and transporting energy.
• Consider increasing volume threshold on severance tax. Presently the effective tax rate is viewed as excessive by Kansas industry, which inhibits production.
• Encourage the development of a new state income tax return check off to fund conservation and assistance efforts.
• Increase tax incentives for conservation improvements.
• Establish tax policies to encourage energy efficiency rather than production and consumption
• Reduce tax levy on large gas consumers in Kansas so they are competitive with other states. Presently taxes in Kansas force large gas consumers to leave the state.
• Investigate the entire tax structure on gas production to determine ways to encourage expansion and production.
Encourage energy conservation and efficiency
• Dedicate a revenue source for conservation loans and grants especially targeted to low-income homeowners and renters.
• Expand the offering of energy efficiency bonds by the Kansas Development Finance Authority to commercial and industrial customers.
• Train house builders and contractors to serve as home energy raters.
• Expand upon the use of unclaimed utility refunds and deposits for conservation and assistance programs.
• Work with utilities to promote those rate designs that encourage increased customer conservation.
• Develop Integrated Resource Planning for all sources considering sustainability.
Encourage cooperation between state energy assistance programs, agencies
• Increase social agency/utility cooperation/communication for effective LIHEAP and weatherization services
• Provide a state clearinghouse of information on conservation and assistance programs and promote better coordination of information between state agencies, utilities, emergency service providers and other stakeholders.
Expand educational efforts
• Promote multi-sector education efforts.
• Provide expanded customer education to customers on the probable high cost of natural gas and potential conservation techniques to reduce energy bills. Educate customers in Kansas about the value of effective conservation programs, such as those focusing on attic insulation, air infiltration and furnace efficiency.
Changes to oil and gas regulations (KCC)
• Encourage KCC to continue their supportive position on pipeline construction.
• Fast-track pending regulatory changes through temporary regulation process and continue efforts to streamline the regulatory process.
• Raise statutory price caps on severance tax exemptions for incremental production.
• Change the process for appealing gathering rates. The present system inhibits producers.)
• Consider changing responsibility for plugging abandoned wells. It is now with the current or last operator/lease owner. This is a disincentive to new investment.
• Expand the KCC authority to allow for unitization.
• Extend the exemption from severance tax in coal-bed methane production beyond the present two years. The present two-year exemption is not sufficient to encourage investment.
• Consider increasing time period between recertification of low-producing wells to qualify for exemption. Presently it is required annually.
• Investigate ways to reduce cost of access to interstate transmission lines. At present the cost prevents access by some producers. A change requires FERC action.
• Consider severance tax exemptions for low-BTU gas, as well as for technology used to treat low-BTU gas, to promote development.
• Investigate ad valorum exemptions to metering low-volume wells. The present cost of metering is excessive and causes premature well abandonment.
• Allow regulatory changes for temporary abandonment of certain wells in prorated fields.
• Change testing requirements to reduce costs.
Utilities and rate structures
• Write specific Kansas Corporation Commission rules and regulations to define conservation measurements, demand side management (DSM) efforts, ten-year load forecasts and all power supply alternatives as set forth in House Substitute for Senate Bill 263 for determination of future ratemaking principles.
• Encourage utility rate structures modifications to recognize demand side management (DSM) and low income consumers.
• Municipal generation – allow aggregation for efficiency investments
• Encourage demand side management (DSM) by utilities by either carrot or stick or both
• Encourage demand side management (DSM) through rate structures.
• Encourage appropriate rate design.
• Establish utility rates structures and programs to encourage efficiency, not consumption
• Fund more utility technicians that might be able to assist customers with energy conservation ventures.
• Encourage utilities to provide greater assistance to customers on energy efficiency issues.
• Encourage greater utility flexibility and creativity in enforcing the Cold Weather Rule.
Hugoton natural gas field
• Re-examine horizontal drilling restrictions in Hugoton field. Consider regulatory changes.
• Provide incentives to encourage investments in existing prorated gas fields (Hugoton, Panoma, Greenwood). Implement programs that will encourage producer reinvestment in Kansas. Compare Kansas incentives to other states to assure they are competitive.
• Investigate testing requirements for minimum production wells in the Hugoton and other prorated fields.
• Consolidate field operations among companies to optimize operation in the Hugoton.
• Investigate changes in regulation to continue production at Hugoton. Industry and the KCC should continue their discussion on regulatory changes needed to extend the life of the field.
• Remove or change method of determination for gas allowables in declining prorated fields (Hugoton, Panoma, and Greenwood).
• Consider allowing additional infield drilling in the Hugoton and associated fields.
Next Steps
In the next month, SERCC members will review all the recommendations from the natural gas summit as they develop their final recommendations for inclusion in the 2004 Kansas Energy Plan. Adopted recommendations will be divided into those for legislative action, for SERCC action, and for further study.
* The State Energy Resources Coordination Council (SERCC) is a 13-member group, charged by the Governor with studying and making recommendations concerning the state's energy situation and publishing an annual energy plan for the Kansas Corporation Commission, the Governor, and the Legislature. The council was established in 2002 by Governor Graves (Executive Order 2002-4). ee Allison, director of the Kansas Geological Survey, is the chair of the council; Brian Moline, Kansas Corporation Commissioner, is the vice chair. More information about SERCC is available online at www.kansasenergy.org.

"Kevin Kruse writes an open letter to Click2learn CEO Kevin Oakes in response to the latter's contention that enterprise software providers (such as, say, SAP or PeopleSoft) will not make major inroads into the learning management system market. With a few telling points, Kruse outlines some probable scenarios where this could be exactly what happens. His main advice to LMS vendors? Well, not in so many words, but: bail." – comment and link reposted from [OLDaily]
I think the truth lies somewhere between these two positions, and one would certainly be naive not to be paying attention to a few of these behemoth enterprise players.
But the more important advice I would give to customers, instead of these vendors, is 'don't let up on any of these vendors when it comes to the implementation of standards, and lobby your political representatives (in Canada these would be people like Industry Canada) to implement national conformance testing programs that we can hold vendors accountable to.' Without such programs, we will continue to see vendors not implement these standards in a full and compliant manner, for lots of reasons, some of them not without merit (e.g. they can be difficult and often present a moving target). But the fact remains that the only hope of not repeating the history of vendor lockins and other dubious achievements in the litany of large systems implementations is in the support of product-agnostic, independantly-developed ,and community-agreed-upon standards. Amen! – SWL

The theme for the Blog Ring on HandmadeArtists.com this week is Wish I Could Do That! Oh, boy... there are LOTS of things that fall into this theme for me...........
|Quilled Hair Clip from BeadThing $10
It's hard to believe that this lovely hair clip is made of paper... no kidding! The technique is called quilling and the whole process just fascinates me. Miles of tiny, narrow strips of paper, wound and shaped to the artist's whim. You can read more about the piece here. And yes... I wish I could do this, but I doubt I have the patience. It is so lovely - don't you think?
|Arabian Lantern Wire Wrapped Necklace $62
If you've read my blog for long, you already know how much I appreciate wire wrap. Wire of any metal is so unforgiving; one errant tweak and the work is permanently flawed. It takes a magical touch for wire wrap to be delicate, flowing and simply perfect. Colette Kimon, owner of the Colette Collection, is such an artist. Aren't you simply in awe of the intricacy of this necklace? I don't even have an idea of where you would even begin to create such a stunning piece, starting with little more than wire.
And then there's this remarkable lady... April of BrooklynBeadGoddess. April plays with fire and glass, taking molten glass in
various colors to create some of the most amazing beads you will ever see anywhere. Her blog states that she creates wearable art... No argument there!
|Lampwork Earrings $20
I could go on and on... there are so many things that I wish I could do. Check out this week's blog ring and discover what other artists chose to meet this week's theme, Wish I Could Do That!

Gazel Razavi, currently Principal of EtonHouse International Pre-School Hong Kong, is an experienced early childhood educator who has a diverse and rich teaching experience. Her exposure to the IB, Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), and local curricula has empowered her with a diverse and innovative approach as an academic leader. She sees children as individual learners who work best in an environment which provides them with opportunities to grow and develop a range of skills.
In today's Meet & Greet, let's hear from Gazel.
1. Full Name/Nickname?
My name is Gazel Razavi, I do not have a particular nickname but some people find it hard to pronounce my name. Hence, I have been called Giselle, Gazal and many other names, and interestingly, the children call me "Madam Gazelle".
2. Where were you born and where did you grow up?
I grew up and studied in different countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Iran and Hong Kong.
3. How long have you been in Hong Kong? What do you love most about Hong Kong?
I have been living in Hong Kong for more than 11 years. Hong Kong has become a place that I now call home. I love the diverse community, its rich culture, beautiful nature and delicious Cantonese cuisine. Over the past decade, I have come to appreciate how efficient and open-minded people in Hong Kong are.
4. What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
My children are at the age where they will be moving to their next chapter of their lives - university. I try to spend as much time with them as I can. Also, being an expatriate in Hong Kong means that you have to make time for your friends who have become like your family here. We also love hiking with our dog that has been with us for 8 years!
5. What inspired you to become a principal?Being a mother and a teacher, you always think about the best education system. I truly believe that the children of 21st century need something beyond rote learning. They need to be critical thinkers, problem-solvers and good communicators. I have always had this passion for changing the mindset of educators, parents and eventually the society. When the opportunity of working in a Reggio Emilia-inspired school came, I was very eager to take on the role and fulfill my passion.
6. What is your most memorable moment in your years of teaching/ being a principal?
I love when I walk to the classrooms or even around the school, and the children ask "out of the box" questions. Moments like this reaffirm my work and makes me proud of the school and our philosophy.
7. How would you describe your school in a sentence?
Beautiful environment, simulating curriculum and caring staff.
8. What is your favorite spot in the school, and why?
The classrooms. It is amazing how unique every classroom is and how children interact with their environment. The settings are so organic and are adapted according to the children's interests and inquiries.
9. Favorite children's books?
That changes a lot, but I certainly enjoy reading Julia Donaldson's and Dr. Suess' stories to the children.
10. Any advice for parents in choosing a pre-school/supporting their child?
Spend time with your children and get to know them. There is no formula for choosing the right pre-school/school for the children. Every child is unique and the worst thing you can do as a parent is to place them in a system that inhibits them from striving.
Secondly, let them be children. As Piaget said "Play is the work of children", they learn to think, socialize, communicate and solve problems.
