Children's Festival coming to town this weekend...
Art, music, storytelling and ground-breaking opera for the young at heart! An action-packed weekend of events coming to Stroud celebrating both nature and literature.
World-class opera for children is coming to Stroud this weekend (7th, 8th, 9th July). It's part of an action-packed weekend of events celebrating both nature and literature.
OperaUpClose are bringing its touring production of Ulla's Odyssey to The Cotswold Playhouse on Sunday 9 July at 6.30pm. (It is an early show so that young children can be part of it!)
Ulla's Odyssey is based on the original story by Homer – but this reworking tells how a 14-year-old girl, Ulla, attempts to become the youngest person to sail the world single-handedly in her trusty sailing boat – named The Homer - with only her cat Binnacle to keep her company as she navigates the high seas.
Interactive workshops for children will be held by the cast of OperaUpClose at the Museum in the Park on the day of the performance Sunday 9 July at 2.15pm and again at 5pm before the show at the Cotswold Playhouse at 6.30. These are Free for ticket holders.
Children will also be able to see many of the familiar faces from last year's popular Stroud Book Festival at the Museum.
There will a pop up library where story telling will be held and a treasure trove of fabulous nature and adventure books can be delved into.
Continuing with the idea of travel – across the weekend of Saturday 8, and Sunday 9 July - author Jamila Gavin will be telling the story of the Odyssey and other amazing voyages.
The journey theme will be threaded through workshops held by local illustrators and authors, Hannah Shaw (Bear on a Bike) and Martha Lightfoot (who has written over 22 books including Firetruck is Flashing) where children can make wonderful cut-out characters for their own story telling. Families can also join award-winning guest author Linda Newbery for story-making and writing tips and secrets, and to hear about her enchanting characters such as Lob, the Green Man. All the workshops are £2 per child, for further details and to book call the Museum on 01453 763394.
On Sunday 9 July – children will be treated to the Stroud Festival of Nature with its wonderfully wide range of activities for all the family in Stratford Park. The fabulous Minpins will be singing in the Museum's Walled Garden on Sunday at 3.30.
This action packed weekend is for all the family so make the most of it. Come out and ENJOY!

GALLERY: Drug use
Injecting drug use accounts for 30% of HIV infections outside of sub-Saharan Africa, and up to 80% of infections in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Criminalizing people and marginalising them fuels the HIV epidemic. Supporting people with harm reduction services such as methadone programmes and providing safer injecting equipment works. It helps keep individuals safer and curbs the epidemic.

Publisher's Description▼▲
Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? is the companion book to the classic Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? Bill Martin's simple, rhythmic text invites young listeners to chant along with the sounds of the animals in the zoo, from braying zebras to trumpeting elephants. Eric Carle's vibrant and imaginative illustrations are the perfect match for the playful text, keeping children enthralled reading after reading.
This new Spanish translation brings Bill Martin and Eric Carle's book to a whole new audience. Spanish-speaking and bilingual children will now be able to share the joy and magic of the delightful Polar Bear and his friends at the zoo.
Author Bio▼▲
Bill Martin, Jr. (1916-2004) was an elementary-school principal, teacher, writer, and poet. His more than 300 books, among them the bestselling classics Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?; Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?; Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?; and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, are a testament to his ability to speak directly to children. Martin held a doctoral degree in early childhood education. Born in Kansas, he worked as an elementary-school principal in Chicago before moving to New York City, where he worked in publishing developing innovative reading programs for schools. After several years, he devoted himself full-time to writing his children's books. He lived in New York until 1993, when he moved to Texas. He lived in the east Texas woods, near the town of Commerce, until he passed away in 2004.
Eric Carle is one of America's leading children's book illustrators. In addition to the classic children's books he created with Bill Martin, Jr., he is author and illustrator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Editorial Reviews▼▲
Carle's characteristically inventive, jewel-toned artwork forms a seamless succession of images that fairly leap off the pages, and educator Martin, ever tuned in to what children like best, has assembled a thoroughly rowdy menagerie.... A visually and aurally splashy work, this is a splendid successor to Brown Bear , one that no fan of that popular bruin will want to be without.

Peek Inside Pink Chalk Fabrics in Love Patchwork and Quilting Magazine
Take a look at Pink Chalk Fabrics behind the scenes, in the brand new magazine from the UK, Love Patchwork and Quilting! We are so honored to be featured in the first issue. The magazine is filled with a ton of inspiration from projects, color, new products and interviews of designers, bloggers and shop owners.
Kathy shares how she got into sewing, turned her hobby into a business, upcoming industry trends and a typical work day.
I especially love Kathy's answer to the question, What do you think it is about quilts that elicits such passion from sewers?
Kathy explains – Love and gratitude is integral to making quilts. I believe that every quilter's inspiration starts from a special place in our heart. Whether it's a project especially created for a family member, a commission quilt, an art piece that will hang on the wall – there's a passion within us to share and express a piece of our soul through the act of making a quilt. We stitcher's communicate our love through the good thoughts that flow into our stitches during the process of making the quilt. That quilt ultimately wraps around a person, and offers them literal comfort, completes this act of sharing ourselves through our creative gifts.
Here's a few more shop photos.
The pattern racks.
Hope you enjoyed our little tour through the shop. We hope to carry the new magazine when available in the US, so stay tuned. In the mean time here is the link to ordering your own copy through the publisher in the UK. Other designer's featured include, Jeni Baker of In Color Order, Maureen Cracknell, Allison Harris of Cluck Cluck Sew, and Ellen Lucket Baker of the Long Thread.
Happy sewing!

Hale functions as the executive director and the only true employee of Books for Keeps, a relatively new nonprofit in the Classic City that seeks to improve the literacy of local children.
Books for Keeps collects and buys new and used children's books, organizes them in a small section of a warehouse into various boxes, and then distributes 12 books to each elementary student at the end of every school year. The organization plans to hand out 50,000 books this year. Hale's goal is to have the students reading for fun over the summer.
"Books for Keeps is a great organization that I am really proud to be a part of," Hale said. "Its goal is to get books in the hands of kids that, because of transportation problems of financial issues, may not get the chance to own books otherwise."
Founder Melaney Smith passed the reigns of the nonprofit to Hale in June 2013, after Hale had earned a master's degree in public administration from the University of Georgia. To Smith, Hale was the obvious choice to take over the day-to-day responsibilities.
"It was nice to see someone take this job as serious as Leslie does," Smith said. "She is just so enthusiastic about the kids and brings so many fresh ideas to the company."
Hale's responsibilities include sorting books in the warehouse, calling potential donors, training volunteers, organizing book drives to raise money, pitching expansion ideas and distributing the books at the elementary schools.
Students that volunteer with the organization look up to Hale as not just a hard worker, but as an intelligent mentor who is a true professional in all aspects of her job.
"She's just extremely intelligent," volunteer and UGA student Charlotte Burney said. "I mean if you just look around the warehouse, she has probably read most of them. Anytime I have a question about anything I can come to her."
"Leslie is just so patient with us," volunteer Sayer Delk said. "Even when we are brand new or we mess things up completely in the warehouse, she never gets flustered or angry. She is calm in every situation."
Before working with nonprofits, Hale spent four years as a journalist. She received a journalism degree from the University of North Carolina, covered topics such as higher and K-12 education along with state and local government for a paper in Naples, Fla.
"I left the journalism field for multiple reasons, and when I started looking for other jobs, I really focused in the nonprofit industry," Hale said. "I had a really strong interest in doing something that had a social impact. I wanted to do something that really mattered. That is why I even tried to be a journalist in the first place."
Hale found the opportunity to make that social impact when she was working public relations for Watkinsville-based non-profit Extra Special People while in graduate school at UGA. She and her husband Aaron Hale decided Athens was where they belonged.
"After we worked as reporters, we visited Athens and just fell in love with the city. It felt like home," Hale said.
Hale has enjoyed the Athens community so far. Her work she has done for the students has provided the rewarding job she was seeking. The Books for Keeps' distribution day in particular keeps her going.
"That is the day that is so exciting and is definitely my favorite," Hale said. "Just to see the looks on the kids faces is so rewarding and worth all the work. When you do work like this, you just want to see it all pay off. On distribution day, it does. Just to see the kids pick out books they want to read, as opposed to ones that they are told to read, is such a great thing."
One more reason Hale and her husband plan to stay put in the Classic City is the arrival of their first child later this year. However, that still isn't enough to slow her down.
"Leslie is five months pregnant and she is still here in the warehouse," Burney said, "If that doesn't make you a hard worker, I don't know what does."

The Daily Mirror has become the latest organisation to show its support for a boy who was wrongly arrested after teachers mistook his homemade clock for a bomb.
Hours after 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed accepted an invitation to the White House after Barrack Obama was moved by his story, invites are flooding in from all over the world.
Facebook also offered him a tour, with Mark Zuckerberg saying: "Having the skill and ambition to build something cool should lead to applause, not arrest. The future belongs to people like Ahmed."

As well as Facebook, scientists, entrepreneurs and even musicians have been showing their support for Ahmed and praising him for his ingenuity using #IStandWithAhmed.
And now the Mirror has invited the talented teen to the office in Canary Wharf to see just how news is made.
Google has also been in touch, offering him a chance to show off his clock.
Ahmed, who was wearing a NASA T-shirt when he was led away in handcuffs, received support from the space agency, and was even invited to space camp.
Ahmed has now been cleared, after police were criticised for taking him in for questioning without the presence of his parents.
But the boy is determined not to return to MacArthur High School, in Irving, Texas, and has already been offered a scholarship by Bitcoin Foundation Director Bruce Fenton.
Ahmed's dad called him "very smart, brilliant boy".
He said that Ahmed had helped him fix many things, including his car, phone, TV, and computer.
Now he could even have a go at music...
And people have been posting clocks in solidarity with the boy - which may or may not be bombs.

Often referred to as "Mr. Retirement," Robert Powell is a long-time financial journalist...
7 Funds to Get Your Financial House in Order
07/29/2011 8:00 am EST
Focus: ETFS
Edwin Mays of Mays Group Advisors tells MoneyShow.com's Kate Stalter that investors are best served by avoiding the stocks and funds that seem hot or glamorous at any given moment. Instead, he tells us the seven funds he uses to construct a solid structure for growth, protection, and exposure to global regions.
Kate Stalter: Today we're speaking with Edwin Mays, and he is with the Mays Group Investment Advisors in Princeton, New Jersey.Thank you so much for joining us today.
Edwin Mays: Well, thank you for having me, Kate.
Kate Stalter: I wanted to ask you about your current take on the market and what you think it's important that individual investors know about these days?
Edwin Mays: Well, the current market conditions are extremely volatile and this is reflected in the recent rise in the uncertainty index. Plus, we have the lowest consumer confidence ratings since early 2009 when the economy was stuck in recession.
We have problems in Libya, public sector layoffs, debt issues in Europe, and the United States. All of this contributes to a collective anxiety for investors, and it's unlikely that we'll feel any sense of relative calm in the near-term. I say relative calm, because there's always a real or perceived threat on the investment horizon. So predicting the date and location of the next big event that moves the market, a Katrina or terrorist event for example, simply isn't possible a year or even six months prior to the episode.
So, given this reality, the most important thing for an individual investor to be aware of is the importance of developing an investment plan. A plan that incorporates simple investing truths, such as that portfolio management is the tail and investor behavior is the dog. Investors who believe their financial fate is subject to the vagaries of the market often feel victimized and, in return, tend to invest emotionally. But investors who create a long-term investment plan, a real plan that has dollar-specific goals, investing and withdrawal schedules, and a diverse portfolio structure, these investors are less likely to invest emotionally and thus, more likely to achieve their stated goals by following the rules of their plan.
Kate Stalter: Good advice. Well, given all of that, what do you see as some of the asset classes or global regions or sectors that investors should be taking a look at these days?
Edwin Mays: Well, since my focus revolves around setting up portfolios for long-term investors, typically people looking for retirement and retirement funds that should last like 30 years, we have to look at the macro economy for the next five to 50 years.
The best way that I can illustrate what we found is to imagine a college football stadium that seats 100,000 people. At the beginning of the game, 40,000 people rush to get hot dogs. So, what's the effect of this rush from the 40,000 people? The bun maker must increase production, which requires more wheat for flour. The additional buns require more ovens in which to cook them. The ovens require more sources of heat. The additional buns need transport to the stadium, which requires fuel, roads, and bridges.
Now, when looking at all of this, if we replaced the stadium with the global economy and the fans that were in the stadium with the world's current population of seven billion people, 40% of that seven billion are from China and India. These folks are tired of sitting in the nosebleed seats. They want to be sitting on the choice rows of the stadium. They want to be able to have great views, and based on their current growth rates, they'll be able to sit there soon.
So, all this means that the BRIC nations, those nations in the developing world where per-capita consumption is growing rapidly, they're a very small slice. A small percentage of growth equates to very large numbers of additional products that are required to meet demand. That's whether these are hot dogs, televisions, cell phones, or anything else.
The BRIC nations, commodities, oil, agriculture, coal, gas, infrastructure materials, metals, and mining–particularly the precious metals and rare earth elements in the developing world–these are sectors, industries, and regions which I see showing growth right now and for the long-term.|pagebreak|
Kate Stalter: Let's take a look at the flip side of that then. Any sectors or regions that you believe individual investors should really avoid at this moment?
Edwin Mays: This is where having a specific plan is extremely important, because the plan can provide some guidance as to when specific holdings should be sold, exchanged, or never purchased in the first place.
But overall, since we create diversified portfolios for the long-term, we're usually not overly concerned about areas that may be showing weakness at the present time, especially if that weakness is found in developed countries like the US and the UK.
But depending on an investor's plan outline, investing during periods of weakness can be quite profitable in the long-term. An example of a weak area: Europe right now is currently the only region in the world with bad net consumption and this is a challenge which will remain serious, due to complex interplay between the countries' various economies. But despite those trends, the majority of people investing for retirement should still have a portion of their portfolios allocated in Europe, because they're still able to meet the demands of both the developed and the developing world.
Again, this is where the investor's plan is extremely important, because it can also act as a buffer to which sectors and industries should be avoided. I ask clients in our first meeting if there are any areas where they'd like to avoid investing in. Some want to avoid tobacco or alcohol, for example. Others may hold strong political or ethical views and want to avoid specific firms that they believe harm the social fabric, or the environment, or a specific group.
But in general, we won't invest in regions that have a high probability of governmental turnover, political and/or social strife, such as countries and companies in parts of Africa, the Middle East, and Indonesia.
Having said that, yes, there are some areas of the world, but for the most part for long-term investors, if you stay with your plan, you should be safe.
Kate Stalter: Edwin, tell me about some of the investment vehicles that you are currently using to meet clients' objectives.
Edwin Mays: Well, we use ETFs, exchange traded funds, as a staple, because compared to mutual funds, ETFs have lower turnovers, which help minimize tax issues. So, for many mutual fund investors, they can have quite a surprise come tax season based on the turnover that they might find in their mutual funds.
Also, compared to the mutual funds, the 12(b)-1 fees and expense ratios, ETFs have much lower overall costs, which can have large benefits in terms of total long-term return. Study after study suggests that actively managed funds rarely beat their underlying index and the choice is simple.
I'll get to the specifics of which ETFs that we utilize. We start off by putting up a portfolio much the same way that someone looks at building a home. On the ground floor, we use the RevenueShares Navellier Overall A-100 Fund (RWV). This fund is constructed using an eight-factored model that give stocks a letter grade, so the top 100 A-rated stocks are included and ranked by revenue annually on September 1st, and then rebalanced on the first day of each calendar quarter. They use the revenues because it's a fundamental that's very difficult to hide or manipulate.
Now we got to the four walls, the four walls of the building. We spoke earlier about the BRIC nations: Brazil, Russia, India, and China. We use the SPDR S&P 40 BRIC ETF (BIK). That seeks to replicate the total return of the BRIC 40 Index. Then we also use the EFA, the iShares Morgan Stanley EAFE Index Fund (EFA). That seeks to provide investment results from the European, Australasian, and Far Eastern markets.
Using that, coupled with the BRIC nations, we basically have the entire world covered. We have on the floor, the S&P 500, represented with the Navellier Index. With the EFA and the BRIC nations, we basically cover the entire world.
So, the only two things remaining for the walls are commodities and infrastructure. For commodities, we use the Deutsche Bank Commodity Index Tracking Fund (DBC). That's composed of futures contracts of 14 of the most heavily traded and important physical commodities in the world. Then lastly, the PowerShares Emerging Market Infrastructure Portfolio (PXR), and that's based on the S-Network Emerging Infrastructure Builders Index. These industries include construction and engineering, machinery, diversified metals and mining, heavy electrical equipment, industrial machinery, and steel.
Finally there is the roof. Most investors typically start off with the roof, the type of stocks and funds and ETFs that are normally in the news. They're the sexy items. But we utilize something that's pretty boring. The Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities Fund (DIPSX). Now, this fund is designed to potentially protect investors from inflation by investing in a security that provides a real return. They invest in bonds, they're backed by the full faith and credit of the federal government, and its principal is adjusted quarterly, based on inflation. So that's the boring side.
The exciting side is the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD). Now, the objective of this ETF is to reflect the price of gold bullion. Gold has always been a hedge against inflation, as governments can't increase the supply of gold as they can paper currency, so as the value of the US dollar declines, the potential for the price of gold rises. So that's a basic portfolio that we would put together.

In your battle against the bulge you have a new and most effective weapon. If you struggle to keep your waist and figure exactly as it has always been, if you seem unable to suppress the emergence of fat no matter the strictness of your diet and exercise regimen, then you should bring a Waist Trainer to bear on the problem. Taking pride in your appearance is nothing to be ashamed of. There is nothing wrong in wanting to look a particular way. The fact that it becomes harder and harder to do as you age does not mean you should give up the fight. Purchasing a Waist Trainer Australia will give you a better than even chance of maintaining that hour glass figure that gives you so much joy and gets you the kind of attention and compliments that you have always enjoyed. Waist trainers or corsets as they used to be called have been reclaimed from history. They are no longer buried with the prudishness and priggishness of the Victorian era. Today's waist trainers are sleek and stylish, and are made to give women comfort rather than torment. You need not worry that wearing a corset will cut off your circulation as it did the women of two centuries ago. Back then corsets were worn mostly to make all women conform to some ideal of feminine beauty. They were not healthy at all; and they often led to the infamous fainting spells of the period. Indeed, it was not so much the weakness of the women at the time that caused them to collapse upon hearing some terrible news, but the fact that their brains could not get the blood they needed to cope with the shock. The waist trainers of the current century are completely different. Your corset will not at all interfere with the circulation of your blood, and you will be able to wear it in complete comfort. There are different waist trainers for different kinds of women. If you are an active and sporty type, then you can purchase a corset that you can wear out on your run or to the gym without any trouble. It is also possible to buy a corset that accentuates your sensuality and figure, one that will excite and entice that special someone with whom you want to be intimate. MagicFit offers a range of waist trainers for every type of lifestyle, need, and desire. It is the premiere waist trainer company in Australia and is proud to announce its joint venture with one of the largest fitness companies in the country. This new enterprise will allow women to gather the many tools that they need to keep healthy and in shape and to maintain the figure that they are most comfortable with. You need not go any further to get all of your health, fitness, and beauty needs met. Shopping at MagicFit will allow you to gather all that you need to stay just as bright and beautiful as ever.For more information visit http://www.magicfit.com.au/

Answer the following questions about the motion of this racing car:


text:
"And how fast was Mr. Halfoat traveling when he rammed Mrs. Dingle?" the prosecutor will ask.
"All I can tell for sure is that he averaged 43 mph over this distance here," Brandt will testify, pointing to a diagram or to a photo of the yaw mark. "The posted limit in that stretch, sir, is 35 mph."
Here, Halfoat's beans may be fried.
"We ain't payin'!" the insurance company will shout.
"Guilty!" the judge will bellow, having just awakened from a colorful dream involving professional dancers.
Of course, not all crashes involve spinning cars and yaw marks. Brandt is often at the mercy of boring old skid marks. Still, they tell tales.
At a scene where four skid marks are evident, Brandt measures each, then divides by four to obtain their average length. If the marks are overlapping - two on two - he'll measure their lengths, then subtract the car's wheelbase, because that's the distance the rear tires will have stopped rolling when the fronts came to rest. Once he calculates a drag factor for that stretch of road, he's ready to roll. The car's speed will be equal to the square root of 30 times the drag factor times the average distance of the skid marks. This gives Brandt the minimum speed the vehicle had to be traveling at the start of the skid in order to lay down that many feet of marks. Johnnie Cochran probably doesn't know this.
Sometimes, though, there may be only one skid mark to measure, not four. In that case, Brandt first hires a mechanic to determine whether the three other brakes were working. If so, it can be assumed - at least for evidentiary purposes - that the tires that didn't leave marks were nonetheless braking at maximum potential. Next, Brandt determines which tire created the mark. If it's a front, then that wheel is assumed to have been responsible for 30 percent of a passenger car's overall braking. If it's a rear, 20 percent. If one front and one rear have left marks, he'll combine their braking potentials: 50 percent. Then he simply multiplies the percentage of available braking times the drag factor and completes his standard minimum-speed calculation.
Enough to indict James Brown in a millisecond, right? Not so fast, Jack.
At the end of its skid, the vehicle usually slams into something. That impact acts as additional brakes, as it were, expending part or all of the car's remaining energy. The car could have been traveling 100 mph when it started to skid, laying down only 30 feet of marks before ramming a bridge abutment. In such a case, Brandt may be able only to say, "For this car to lay down 30 feet of marks, its minimum speed had to have been 40 mph." He may not be able to get closer than that, unless he can examine the wrecked car and calculate the energy necessary to crush the thing as it's been crushed. Which he can. But that's another story, one that involves both geometry and calculus and several small dolls with sharp pins in their heads. But even lacking those computations, Brandt can still go to court and truthfully testify: "Because I know that something other than locked brakes helped stop this car - namely, the bridge - the defendant had to have been driving more than 40 mph at the start of the skid." If the accident was in a 40-mph zone, the defendant may now notice the prosecutor humming a few bars of "Goodnight, Irene."
To go beyond that - at least when a car skids or yaws and strikes another car - reconstructionists must factor in a nightmarish tangle of variables: crush damage to the car, to the object it struck, and how far both were displaced after impact. Still, Brandt can do it, starting with the weight of the cars, plus passengers. He'll establish average speeds for yaws, minimum speeds for skids. He'll establish which car laid down "departure skids" as it pinwheeled away from the impact. He'll search for wheels that locked as metal was forced against them, creating "collision scuffs" that mustn't be confused with skids. After as many as 20 complex calculations are run, Brandt may be able to say, "The velocity required to create those yaw marks, plus those skid marks, plus those skip skids, plus those collision scuffs, plus 1.2 feet of crush damage, plus 12.5 feet of impact rebound - all that comes to a minimum of 72 mph." Defense lawyers may ask him to trot out every calculation, a mathematical quagmire that, Brandt assures, "usually puts the jurors to sleep."

(AP) Former Israeli PM: Jerusalem must be partitioned
By AMY TEIBEL
Associated Press
Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is urging Israeli leaders to relinquish the idea of a unified Jerusalem if they truly want peace.
Olmert contends that years of government neglect have kept the Jewish and Palestinian sectors divided.
The comments, made as Israel marked the 45th anniversary of capturing east Jerusalem, were nearly unprecedented for mainstream Israeli leaders and put him at odds with his successor, Benjamin Netanyahu.
Celebrating Israel's control of Jerusalem, Netanyahu declared his government was committed to keeping Jerusalem Israel's undivided capital.

So you had a cheat meal/day/week…. It's fine. It happens. You enjoyed it and now you have the guilt.
Stop feeling guilty and move on. It's done and dwelling on it won't change it.
Here are some tips on coping with what just happened!
1. Stop Eating You Pie! It's easy to think, frig it, I've started that family sized bag of Malteasers, I may as well finish them and then they are done and i'll move on. Stop! Let's do some sort of damage control here. Just put them away. Hide them where you can't see them. If you know you can still hear them calling you from the cupboard, then bin them! I once had a client tell me she couldn't stop eating biscuits so she put them in the bin and poured milk over them so she couldn't rummage them out later. Genius! All of those calories add up and your body then has to figure out what to do with all of the extra calories you just scoffed so let's limit the damage shall we?
2. If it doesn't belong to you then you can't eat it! I just ate my flatmates peanut butter magnum but I'll buy another one. Emmmm, no. It's not yours. You are now a pie and thief, let's face it, you wouldn't survive in prison so quit that immediately!
3. Forgive yourself. We all enjoy a good old emotional binge, eat too much and have bad days. Don't beat yourself up. It's just one day. Don't compare yourself to anyone else. Compare yourself to how you felt last week when you where attending classes and eating correctly.
4. Replace your pity party with a plan. Get rid of the negative self hatred, what will it achieve? Talk to a friend and let them know you need some extra motivation! Message Beach fit bootcamp and get some ass kicking motivation! *Step away from the Chinese conveyor belt*.
4. Execute your plan! This means when you get up the next day, get your shit together and get ready to sweat. The next day, the best workout is any workout. Get working and sweat out all that badness and you'll feel epic!
5. Fuel your digestive system with something easy and clean. Veg and loads of water! High fiber, no meat, and again, drink a ton of water!!!! Get that nutribullet out of the cupboard and go nuts!
6. How about you stop eating an hour earlier than you normally do? Give your digestive system a chance. In addition go to bed and hour earlier! Wake up refreshed and ready to rinse and repeat.

American Flags near Surfside CA 90743 – Made in USA
Quick History of the American Flag
Retiring your Old American Flag
Which Flag is Right for You?
American Flags made in America
Unlike other nations, USA just has 2 national symbols: the bald eagle, and also the American flag. While the bald eagle is worldwide recognized, the American flag is a symbol recognized worldwide. The flag has been the inspiration for vacations, songs, poems, publications, art and more. It has been used to display nationalism, rebellion and whatever inbetween. The flag is so essential that its history informs the tale of America itself.
The American flag has thirteen alternate straight stripes of equal size, which seven are red and 6 are white. In the upper-left corner, usually referred to as the canton, is a blue rectangle, on which are laid out fifty white five-pointed stars.
Although the American flag was embraced officially in 1777, at that time there was no definition attached to the colors. The same colors were utilized in designing the Seal of the United States of America in 1782, having particular significance. The definition behind the colors of the flag are as adheres to:
"White indicates pureness as well as virtue.
Red, strength & valiance.
Blue, symbolizes watchfulness, perseverance & justice".
Ever since 1777 when it wased initially adopted formally, the American flag has actually gone through a number of alterations to reach its existing design.
Brief History of the American Flag
The history of our flag is as fascinating as that of the nation itself. It has actually made it through fights, influenced songs as well as developed in action to the growth of the country it stands for. The following is a collection of interesting facts and customs concerning the American flag and just how it is to be displayed:
- The flag is typically presented from sunrise to sunset. It ought to be raised quickly and also lowered ceremoniously. In harsh climate, the flag ought to not be flown. In addition, the flag must be illuminated if it is displayed at night.
- The flag needs to be displayed everyday and also on all vacations, climate allowing, on or near the main administration structures of all public establishments. It should likewise be shown in or near every polling place on election days and also in or near every schoolhouse during institution days.
- When presented flat against a wall or a window, or in an upright position, the "Union" field of stars should be uppermost and to the left of the observer.
- When the flag is raised or lowered as part of a ceremony, and also as it passes by in parade or review, everyone, except those in uniform, should deal with the flag with the right hand over the heart.
- The U.S. flag should never be dipped towards any person or object, nor should the flag ever before touch anything below it.
Over the years, extensive guidelines have actually been established for ways to manage the flag. There's also been debate over whether an individual has the right to violate these guidelines for the purpose of expressing themselves freely. You might see some people are also brought to tears when the flag is honored at events and also events. Yet prior to the War of 1812, the flag did not have the very same significance of national pride that it does today.
The flag may be enhanced with golden edge bordering the perimeter of the flag as long as it does not deface the flag proper. When the flag is affixed to the right side of a car of any kind (e.g. vehicles), it must be placed so that the "Union" is in the direction of the front of the automobile, as if the flag were streaming in reverse from its hoist as the automobile moves ahead.
On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress passed an act establishing a main flag for the brand-new country. The resolution mentioned: "Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and also white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue area, standing for a brand-new constellation." On Aug. 3, 1949, President Harry S. Truman officially proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day.

The penguins are a race of animals inhabiting Hidden Kingdom. They are known to reside at Penguin Castle under the leadership of Penguin King.
The penguins faced off against First Squad in "Penguin Castle".Their king, Penguin King likes bowling & his minions can turn into bowling pins. In the episode, Penguin Castle, Penguin King told Commander ApeTrully he would join Big Green if he won one his bowling challenges. But he failed so the penguins took him hostage. First squad even had trouble making peace with them as they all failed his bowling challenges and Mighty Ray even damaged his castle. Angry, he made clones of them and had them fight themselves until they remembered what Mr. No Hands said. After a long battle the penguins and their penguin clones, Penguin King loses & joins Big Green with his Penguins after realising that Humans aren't as cowardly as High Roller told him. The penguins skin is actually armour that makes them immune to all attacks. The only way to defeat them is to juggle them and make them dizzy.

Good morning,
Typically speaking, if a project is not slated to kick-off until three months down the road, would you charge the time spent doing the preliminary work (creating standard documentation, meetings, etc.) to the project or would that time be recorded in the normal operational bucket? I'm in that situation now and have analysts asking for project tasks to be created to charge their time to, but I feel this "ramp-up" time should fall under their normal operational/production support. Otherwise, there could be many hours charged to a project that hasn't reached the execution phase. Am I thinking correctly?
Where to charge preliminary work?

NEW BEARISH Plays
Bally Technologies - BYI - close: 37.83 change: -0.90 stop: 40.05
Company Description:
Bally Technologies, Inc., incorporated in September 1968, is a diversified, worldwide gaming company that designs, manufactures, operates and distributes slot and video machines to a global gaming industry that includes casino, racino, video lottery, central determination and Class II markets. It also designs, integrates and sells highly specialized computerized monitoring systems that provide casinos with networked accounting and security services for their gaming machines with more than 300,000 game monitoring units installed worldwide at more than 225 locations. Based in Las Vegas, the Company conducts its machine and systems operations, and operates Rainbow Casino, a 35,000-square foot dockside location in Vicksburg, Mississippi, which has approximately 12 table games and 900 gaming devices. (source: company press release or website)
Why We Like It:
This casino games maker has been under performing the market and its peers the last few weeks. The company's latest earnings report failed to impress and investors have started selling into strength. Shares just closed under their simple 200-dma and exponential 200-dma after a week of consolidating sideways near this technical support.
I am suggesting traders open bearish positions now. Our first target to take profits is at $35.05 since the $35.00 level has been support in the past. Our second target is $32.00. More aggressive traders could aim for the $30 level.
FYI: This should be considered an aggressive trade. The most recent data available listed short interest at nearly 13% of the 52 million-share float. That is above average and if BYI makes a sudden move higher it raises the risk of a short squeeze.
Suggested Position: SHORT BYI stock @ 37.83(?)
Annotated chart:
Entry on March xx at $xx.xx
Earnings Date 05/06/10 (unconfirmed)
Average Daily Volume: 1.9 million
Listed on March 15th, 2010

Help with benefits etc.. for low earners?
Are their any benefits etc.. my gf can claim for a low-income self-employed job role?
She is self employed but business is a little slow as she has only been back into the country for around 3 months (english UK nationality).
We are struggling a little with our bills as the only real income is mine, (im 24 and i dont earn very much but work full-time)
We pay full whack for council tax (a shocking £171/month) for our small bungalow (yeah i think they got that wrong too!)
And ontop of the rent, tv, gas, water, elec, car, car insurance and all the other bills im finding myself with zero funds before we even begin food shopping or any savings!
Anyhow...what (if anything) can we get to help us out? can we get an allowance? or deduction of tax? or council tax? or anything??
We have both worked since we where 16 and have payed tax all our working lives and now we need a little help we feel abit lost
We dont really want to claim a benefit, but we may need a little help and thats what they are there for?
Thanks for any input guys

I wanted to hang a new light in my kitchen nook and took down the old one but could not figure out the logistics of hanging a new light. I called Mr.
Electric to come in and hang the light and to check some outlets that were not working. When he arrived, he told me he needed to do a diagnostic on my electrical situation and it would cost me $134. I told him to go ahead. After the diagnostic, he said it would cost me $304 to replace a GFI and $245 to hang the light.
I told him he was too expensive. As he was leaving, I went to close the garage and the door didn't work. He said he had disabled the circuit because the GFI was bad. I told him to put it back the way it was.
He said he couldn't. I told him I would sign a release of liability. He called his supervisor who said he could not put it back. I talked to the supervisor and he told me to just get the repair done.
I told him I had a GFI replaced last year for $100. I live on social security and could not afford the $304. He said he would give me a 15% discount. I told him to never mind.
I felt that he was dishonest.
The technician said I should not have called them if I didn't have the money to pay for repairs. I'm totally insulted and feel that they are scammers.
Product or Service Mentioned: Mr Electric Electric Service.
Reason of review: Poor customer service.
Monetary Loss: $134.
Preferred solution: Full refund.
I didn't like: Way i was treated, Price manipulation.
We have two separate complaints here. Price and leaving with the defective GFCI device disconnected.
We understand that electrical work can be expensive.
We are constantly reviewing our pricing to be sure we are in line with other electrical contractors in the area to be sure we are competitive. In the State of Texas it is illegal for electrical work to be performed by someone without the appropriate electrical license working under a licensed electrical contractor. This is to protect the safety of the public. There are many people who do electrical work illegally without proper licensing.
We do not believe there is a licensed electrical contractor who can do this work for $100 and would like to see the invoice with their contractor's license number as required by law. If there was no license number on the invoice they need to be reported.
Our service professional gave you the price up front and the customer decided whether to proceed. How can we be more ethical than that?
As far as leaving the defective GFCI device disconnected.
GFCI protection is required by the NEC for garage, exterior, bathroom, and kitchen outlets.
The GFCI device in the garage was found to be faulty in that it did not interrupt power when "tripped", therefore it did not protect the outlets on that circuit. The outlet for the Garage Door opener is on this circuit.
The customer declined the repairs necessary, and we cannot reconnect power as this leaves the customer with an un-protected, unsafe electrical situation. We have a responsibility as a licensed electrical contractor to make sure we do everything by code and in a safe and responsible way.
Had we honored the customer's request we could jeopardize our license and the safety of the home. In conclusion, we are displeased the customer was unhappy with this situation.
Our service manager attempted to resolve this matter on the phone but the customer hung up on him. We are not sure what else we could have done to resolve this matter.
Davila Electric came the next day and did all my work for free after hearing of my experience. They did not feel that the gfi that was disconnected imposed an immediate safety concern and felt that there were other options that could have been taken by the Mr.
Electric technician. They also felt that the price was extremely high that Mr. Electric quoted. They did all of the work in less than 30 minutes.
As far as hanging up on Mr. Folz, this was true. He failed to mention that I had called him for a resolution and he was very blunt that I had only two options: pay the money and get it fixed or go without electricity.
Even if he had offered another solution on the 2nd phone call, I would not have taken it. I felt like they were underhanded in disabling my circuit without my knowledge and I would never use them nor would I recommend them.
How much did Davila Electric charge? Invoice breakdown & license #?

The loan agreement is to issue general obligation bonds not to exceed $14.9 million. In their regular session meeting Tuesday, the Washington County Board of Supervisors approved establishing an urban renewal area for WCHC with a 4-1 vote. These steps are being taken in an effort to save approximately $3.8 million in interest by moving the revenue bonds to general obligation bonds. WCHC will continue to pay the bonds, but they will be held under the county's debt.

A new, 24-page downloadable booklet from NIOSH employs illustrations to show how and where employees in a retail setting could use mechanical assist devices to lift, push, or pull heavy materials.
According to NIOSH, manual material handling injuries, or overexertion injuries, account for 60 percent of the injuries and lost work in some types of retail business.
The booklet was inspired by a NIOSH/CalOSHA booklet, Ergonomic Guidelines for Manual Material Handling (2007-131), NIOSH stated. The new document was published in response to a recognized need by members of the NORA Wholesale and Retail Trade Sector for informational materials showing interventions in work settings that were familiar to employers and employees.
