At Benenden we recognise the important role that sport plays both in the school career of a student but also the benefits of participation and exercise in adult life.
Sport England's Active People Survey revealed that participation figures for Netball have increased markedly. There are now more than 156,000 adult netballers across the country who are playing the sport for at least half an hour every week.
Benenden prides itself on offering a wide opportunity for girls to participate in Netball. It forms part of the curriculum whilst being one of the major sports played competitively. We are able to field an impressive 28 teams with strength at every age from U12 to U19. We have worked hard to develop the fixtures calendar so that our teams compete regularly against challenging opposition, this in itself helping to develop the standard of both the individual and the team.
National and County Competitions
We are also annually participating in two National Cups; Independent School's Netball Cup and the School Sports Magazine Cups, allowing the U19, U15 and U13 squads the opportunity for strong competition against schools that would normally not feature on our fixtures calendar.
We participate annually in the County Competitions, aiming to achieve Kent representation in the London and South East competition and National Finals. Benenden hosts InterNet festivals for U12, U13 and U14 C/D/E/F teams and an annual U15 and Senior event. The Inter-House Netball events offers an exciting opportunity for Houses to to field many players in the quest to become House champions!
Benenden is fortunate to have a partnership with the National Super League (NSL), Surrey Storm Netball franchise. This has allowed the Benenden players the opportunity not only to attend NSL matches but also to act as ball girls at a game and receive visits and coaching days from NSL and International players.
Our Key Achievements
Benenden features strongly in the County competitions, qualifying regularly to represent Kent at the London and South East Netball Tournament. Teams have gone on from here to compete at the National Finals. Benenden girls have achieved representation at county level and the Benenden Elite performance programme has proved to be valuable. Many girls enjoyed and benefited from the Benenden Netball Tours with the most recent being to the US and Barbados.

Quick Reference
(833–70), had the difficult task of establishing working relations with the West Saxon kings who had won political control of Kent after many years of Mercian domination. In this he seems to have been largely successful, obtaining grants of land from King Egbert and his son Æthelwulf and confirmation of the cathedral's control of Kentish minsters which had been disputed in the archiepiscopate of his predecessor Wulfred. His period in office saw an intensification of Viking raids and an attack on Canterbury in 850 or 851. By the time of his death in 870 there seems to have been a severe decline in standards of literacy and writing in the Canterbury scriptorium though the reasons for this may be complex and not simply the result of Viking harassment.

Under Supervision
Now the two girls are back home, and having a wonderful time munching on all of that very long grass that has grown in their prolonged absence so has the supervision of The Terrorist. Under her watchful eye, and her tongue trying to lick my face I went looking for my Conqueror Oil spray since a lovely bunch of red mites have decided my poor butter bean plants were a wonderful meal. Nasty little pests Red Mites. They suck the life out of the poor plant and leave them looking rather the worse for wear.
Everywhere I went yesterday Terrorist was not far behind. I trimmed the palm fronds and stacked them neatly only to fine a certain jersey nuisance was busily at work behind pulling everything back out all over the driveway. Oh well, I guess it will be back to re stacking them again and hoping like heck she doesn't do it again. I won't hold my breath there. The old man was by the wire yesterday waiting for his feed. He knows where it comes from. Even with the girls back he won't share it with them. They soon get the message from him to stay well away from his breakfast.
The last day of summer was yesterday, the cicadas though are as loud as ever singing their summer tunes. Eventually their songs will cease as they die off. Not that the dog cares much for that. He's usually trying to catch them! Silly Simon never learns. Even the flies he tries to snap at. I just have to shake my head at that one.

Just For You
143 comments:
Happy Monday Sue and all, this is a beautiful card, so cute. Hope you had a days rest yesterday. It is so well deserved.
Saba, it must be heartbreaking every time you leave your little man for both you and him. You will soon be back though for your meet up with the Naughty Nines as Patricia called you, so very apt I think from the stories I've heard, however I think I may have turned green with envy.
Elaine, when will Andrew know about his next treatment, This seems to be interminable, will be good job when it is over.
Laine, has your nose grown, it will look out of place on your cute little face. Is Yvonne okay or just too busy living the high life.
Tracey, what a time to be ill,hope you get better for your meet up with Pat, it will be so much fun.
June hope the craft workshop went well and that you had a good time.
Deborah, I hope your hubby is recovering well and feeling more like his old self.
Tina, NanbaTina, Wheeley, Maureen, missing you all, hope you will be back on the blog soon.
Hugs to all, enjoy your day, Ladies you are all too kind.

Morning Sue. Another start to another wonderful week of daily inspiration - as Carol King once wrote "there's nowhere else I'd rather be"
A fun card to start our day with, love nancyd's suggestion of DIY tools as an accessory to go with the apron as my late dad would wear something similar when decorating our home to keep all his tools at hand, what do you think Sue ? A hammer, screwdriver etc 😊 🔨🔧 and we could add in one of the Latte mugs as we all know how many times we fill the kettle for their tea breaks ! Lol anyway, a cool fun way to start our week in Particraft World. Sending hugs for a good day coming your way Sue 😉 xxx

Hello Sue and all
Yes like Beverly I think of barbecues too, such a fabulous card and your shading with white pencil really makes it pop!
I have a few shadow box dies and accessories but not this one, once again I may have been mistaken thinking I didn't NEED it.
Muriel x
- 27 February 2017 at 07:52
This card will suit so many people, suitable for a lit of men as they do like to dabble in the kitchen. I also have several chefs in the family & had thought a shadow box card would also be a good way to use them. I think a craft apron as well as a DIY apron would be good. Thank you for the inspiration .Sue.

The cards that are causing me most trouble are Teenage Boys!
This is a lovely card and love the baking idea!

- 27 February 2017 at 07:54
Happy card, Sue, as ever it's the little touches that make it even better - use of the white pencil almost looks like flour dusting! Like Laine and the gumball machine, don't really have a 'market' for these dies but love to see them featured.
As usual, echoing Pam. Do hope Maureen is okay - missed.
Laine, you sound quite perky - what's with your BB, PP? Furbabes fine thanks but have had a dire time recently which can't speak of here.
Hugs all round.

Hi Sue
What a fun card to start the week. I'm really impressed with how well the kitchen utensils cut and how lifelike they are. You have done well. I have to say the white shading on the apron is just right, wear and tear and a bit of flour - perfect! Thank you for sharing.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a stunning card today Sue, love all the little implements, and with the apron as well there are so many uses for this die, male or female cards in abundance.
Pam, yes all is well, I had a fabulous time yesterday at the craft workshop, made 3 cards, all very different, using dies, stamps, water-colouring, 2 types of flower moulding and making, lots of cutting out and scoring but a very enjoyable day, met some lovely new friends too.
I also echo all your remarks today, hope everyone is enjoying life.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi, Sue,
What a delightful card, it's just too cute for words. I adore the little measuring spoons :). This is something that I would be happy to use for my brother-in-law as he loves baking cakes...my sister would need either a gardening or sewing themed one I think lol.
I hope everyone is safe and well after Doris struck...how can we be afraid of a storm called Doris for goodness sake!! I think the storms should all have Viking names or Norse gods :).
Touch wood, it's quite calm so far this morning in my corner of Cornwall, although we did have some rain before I got up. There's a lot of cloud cover but I think the sun is trying to shine. Still not the weather to work outside though and I really need to dismantle my greenhouse, don't tell anyone that I'm smiling at the delay in getting out there lol. Oh well, another day in the craft room for me then. I've recently tried my hand at egg decorating. It didn't go as well as it could as I wasn't able to cut the egg very neatly. I think if I try again I'll be brave and use my dremel on the shell...and get another duck egg which is nice and thick lol.
Here's to a great week for everyone.

Cute, cute, cute card. Loving your card but then I do love wearing kitchen aprons as well as my gardening aprons.
This could be easily made into masculine card as well; BBQ apron with using BQ tools or Workshop apron using the tool die cuts, having pocket to hold gift card; or apron for the guy who likes to garden. Lots of possibilities using the apron for the male or female.

To My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
Well My Friend You've Done It Once Again, I Recently Watched You
Make A Similar Apron On A "Video Tutorial" On "You Tube" But You Used Different
Colours You Used Paper From Your "Classic Elegance Paper Pad" You Also Used
A Selection Of The Same Dies And Also A Selection From Your Other Cooking Set With
The "Food Mixer" Etc:-
Products Used Today:-
"The Baked With Love Accessories Die Set"
"The Apron Die Set"
"Coconut White, Black, Kraft, Milk, Red Foundation Card"
"Decorative Paper From Your Stash"
"Silver Paint Pen"
"Red/White Bakers Twine"
Today's Card:-
I Just Love How You Started By Using Your Papers From Your Stash, Using Your Black/White
Polka Dot For The Top Half Of Your Card, And For The Bottom Half You Used Some Matching Diagonal
Stripes It Looks Extremely Striking. You Then Wished To Bring Some Red Into Your Card So You Cut
A Strip Of Red Card And Used It As A Divider Between Your Two Design Papers, Then You Cut Out
Your Truly Tremendous "Apron" Out Of Kraft Card It Looks Outstanding, You Then Cut Out The Lower
Pocket Once Again, You Tidied Up The Edges And Added Thin Strips Of Mounting Foam To The Edges
And Attached It To The Same Area Of You Full Sized Apron.
This Gave You A Superb Pocket To Fill And Hang Your Awesome Kitchen Utensils From, You Cut A Small
Pocket Out Of Red And Placed It At The Top Of Your Apron Doing It The Same Way As Your Large Pocket
Then You Cut Out All Your Remarkable Utensils From "The Baked With Love Die Set" Using Red, Milk, Or In
Some Cases Silver Shine Card But Its So Much Easier To Have A Silver Paint Pen To Add The Realistic Look
To Your Spatular, Salt Shaker, Whisk, You Then Placed Them In Your Pocket, I Love The Oven Mitt The Detail
Is Tremendous, The Embossing And The Detailed Stitching, Adding White Highlights Here And There, In
Your Upper Pocket You Placed Your Fabulous Silver Untensils On The Inside, And Also Your Measuring Spoons
Then You Added Red/White Bakers Twine As Your Apron Strings, Then You Added Your Sentiment in Upper Corner
Your Close Up Photographs Are Astonishing Showing Everything In Such Fine Detail, You Finally Finished Off
With Your Coconut White/Black/Red Mat/Layering And Your Signature Piercing Which I Love...
Sue Thank You For Sharing You Inspire Me Daily I Truly Appreciate Everything You Do.
Superb New Video Tutorials On "You Tube"
Sue Take Great Care
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin And Heather
Sue Lots Of Love And Huge Hugs 🤗 For Yourself

Good morning Sue.I saw you demo this. It is such a lovely fun card and suitable for males and females. I love it and have just bought it there are so many ways to decorate it. I'm sure there will be so many variations on the theme. Love the pockets of the apron and all the super little accessories.And a big thank you for the demo using a silver paint pen- yes, I was going to cut them all with silver card. This idea is so much easier. All in all, can you tell I just love it?

Hello Sue,
Gorgeous card and such lovely detail! I love the look of flour and the fact that it looks like a used , favourite apron! This was the first Die my friend bought from your latest launch and she brought it round to show me! We were waxing lyrical about different sorts of aprons for different people both male and female and the fact that these lovely utensils could be used in the Shadow Boxes. Love the cord for the ties too!
P In Wales - I'm sorry you have had a " dire time" recently. That sounds awful. Sending you a hug!
Tina Eldridge - if you look in - hope all went well today! Was thinking of you and will continue to do so over the coming week! x
Love to all lovely friends on the blog!

Hello Sue,
Brilliant card, I just love all the little utensils popped into the pockets they look so "real". I can imagine the apron used in so many ways to suit both male and female recipients. The dotted and striped papers work perfectly together as a background and the white highlights just add that bit extra. Love it.
Pam it's always sad when I have to leave my little ones but as you say it won't be long before I'm back.
Elaine so sorry you had a bad night, hope tonight is a better one.
Tracy have fun in Ireland, looking forward to hearing all about it.
P in Wales sorry you've had a bad time, hope things are improving.
Love and hugs for all

Good evening lovely Sue and her crafty crew!
Oh what an undeniably cute ensemble! You have created a charming card with the dearest little accessories that would also fit perfectly within the Shadow Box dies. As reflected, this apron could be used for chefs, bakers, gardeners, crafters, DIYers, and any number of activities and hobbies, it is just so versatile. I just adore the dinky rolling pin, spatula, measuring spoons etc and i love how you have used a silver paint pen to create the silver effect. Its also ingenious using the white pencil to highlight the apron and accessories because it adds a further dimension to the items. I will definitely be investing in this set, if not because they are just too cute to ignore but also because friends like Yvonne would really appreciate a cooking inspired card being the domestic goddess that she claims:-) Great card, many thanks for all your hard work Sue, what would we do without our daily fix?
The sun almost threatened to shine today, there is still snow on Norah's Hills though but the days are getting noticeably brighter and i saw a tree with what appeared to be blossom on it this afternoon....i decided to venture out for a much needed sun bed for a dose of vitamin D, felt much brighter as a result. Can't believe that its almost March, Ally Pally will be soon...i just wish that i could go but Yvonne has banned me from visiting, she thinks that she will be Sues favourite without me taking all the limelight:-)
Pam, large nose?Whatever could you mean?:-) Yvonne likes to think that she's living the high life but it masks an altogether sadder existence devoid of any friends I'm afraid:-) She was quite tired when i last spoke with her but I'm sure she'll be back on form soon.
Carmen, i would love to make you a Candy Machine card but fear that it might not be up to Sue's high standard. What sort of theme would you like? I think Gobstoppers would be an appropriate sweetie but i think that the hole on the machine isn't quite as large as your mouth:-) Maureen is known for her cheekiness so i was simply letting her know that we bore no grudge and looked forward to her return:-)
P, i am indeed perky in spirit if not in body because my ban on buying any dies is soon to be lifted:-)
PP is still pooped after her busy social calendar. I am so sorry to hear of your dire time, don't be afraid to mention any worries if you need some support, I'm sure Sue wouldn't object. I'm glad furbabes are well though, hugs all roundxxx
Elaine, hope you have a better nights sleepxxx
Tracy, safe trip tomorrowxxx
Myra&Maureen, sending hugs to my favourite twosomexxx
Hugs to all my besties, hope that you are all well, and anybody in need of a cuddle is more than welcomexxx
Off to watch Broadchurch, good stuff:-)

Evening Sue and everyone.
I love this card and your baking set is a fantastic little kit !
Love how you have used a silver pen instead for card or foil for
some of the areas and white pen for wear and tear and flour on the Apron.
I want this die set so badly, can't wait until Ally Pally and to see you again.
Congrats to the three comment winners yesterday and a very nice
card it was too. Looking forward to see it as a spinner card.
Elaine- fingers crossed and everything else for Andrew on Thursday and I
wish everything goes well. Sending you all some hugs x
Craftynanna and it was someone else with real bad back's at the moment,
do take care but continue moving around if you can. It's horrid to have pain
as many of us know, probably how many of us started with card making and if
the mojo just is there and not floating around somewhere else then card making
is a very nice and relaxing hobby, don't you agree ? Yay Sue, for being here
for us all and giving us soooo many ideas for our cards ! x
Tracy- hope you feel better asap and you have a wonderful meet up with
Pat on Thursday ! x
Laine- hope you are okay and that nose of yours haven't grown too much :)
I believe you are a real nice lady.......say hi to PP when you speak next x
Many hugs to you all,

Hi Sue, I love this card with all the tiny utensils, I am a sucker for all things miniature. I used your tip of silver paint pen on the garden tools and glossy accents on the handles and was really pleased with the results. Although I don't have the baking set just yet I look forward to seeing what else you come up with for the apron.
I'm late today as I went out for lunch with my friend and her two daughters for whom I am an honorary auntie. Despite being 35 and 40 they still call us auntie and uncle and I am old-fashioned enough to really appreciate it. We had such a good natter we were in danger of being thrown out :-)
Laine - good to see you again, the furbabies are all fine thank you and I hope the forthcoming boosters for Darcey and Brodie go to plan.
'P' - sorry that you have been having a bad time, hope things are looking up for you now.
Tracy - have a lovely cold-free holiday and a great time meeting up with Pat L. We expect a full report lol

Hi Sue,
You took me by surprise with this card. So different than everything you've done since I joined the club/blog! Love it! This mini apron and those mini utensils are so cute. It could be used for many occasions for ladies and men as well. I have friends who would love this. I join those looking forward to seeing more variations on the theme. Thank you for the inspiration.
Elaine - hugs for you and Andrew! Good luck on Thursday!
Laine – Yvonne will steal the show with or without you there. Not many people will miss you at Ally Pally. At least you'll be here (I hope) to entertain the rest of us!
Have a great week everyone!

Choice of MLK, Lincoln bibles "entirely fitting", Obama says
President Obama will be sworn in using the bibles of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Abraham Lincoln - two men that he admires "probably more than anybody in American history - at his upcoming inauguration, and he says in a new web video that the choice of bibles is "entirely fitting," noting that the movements represented by both men "are the only reason that it's possible for me to be inaugurated."
"Me stating before the entire country that I will uphold my oath of office, while at the same time letting me know that there's a connection between me being here and the sacrifices of those in the past - it's, I think, entirely fitting."
"It's also a reminder for me that this country's gone through some very tough times before," he said, "but we always come out on the other side. This task of constantly perfecting our union, making it more fair, making sure everybody in this country has a fair shot...It's probably the most important thing to keep in mind when you're the President of the United States."
Mr. Obama also discusses some of his favorite moments from his first inauguration four years ago.
"I remember the train ride that we took down from Philadelphia," he says. "Crowds lined the entire route. It was an incredible reminder of the diversity of our country."
He also fondly remembers the day of service, noting that "because inauguration comes close to Dr. King's birthday," he and his family "had a tradition of serving on that weekend."
That legacy of service - and the inauguration that comes with it every four years - is an opportunity to remember "the role that we have as fellow citizens in promoting a common good as well as making sure that we're carrying out our individual responsibilities," Mr. Obama says. "That is the reason that America's been successful in the past. That's why we'll be successful in the future."

Attack of the cyber insider
ZONE-H.ORG is a shadowy website based in the small Arizona desert city of Scottsdale. It's an archive of web pages that have been attacked and defaced - it is updated daily - in an uprising that has led one Australian computer hacking expert to label 2011 ''the year of the hack''.
''The situation has got out of control this year,'' says Phil Wurth, managing director of Content Security, one of the growing number of ''ethical hacking'' firms who fix holes in websites for Australian businesses and government.
Rob McAdam, of Sydney firm Pure Hacking - with clients including federal and state government departments and prominent Australian corporations - likens this year's hacking boom to an ''arms race''.
On one side of the battle, he says, ''hackers are continually technologically improving on what they do and we on then other side need to continually catch up and take over''.
Technology, he says, ''is the weapon''.
The hacking takes many forms, including crime gangs stealing credit card details. But on the rise this year, experts say, are two forms: politically motivated ''hacktivism'' led by global hacker collectives such as Anonymous and nuisance hacking or ''defacements'', likened by one insider to the hacking equivalent of graffiti tagging.
Hacktivism has also been called electronic civil disobedience.
Many Australian and Victorian government websites are listed on zone-H.org. Since March, The Saturday Age found, those hacked with defacements include Melbourne local councils in Bayside, Hume, Hobsons Bay, Melton and Cardinia. The Bushfires Royal Commission website, the governor-general's website and the Victorian Human Rights Commission were also breached. The hackers came predominantly from Iran.
The revelations come just weeks after Sydney's Mosman Council was hacked by Anonymous. The collective recently joined forces with another infamous hacking collective called LulzSec (translation: ''laugh at your security''), which is alleged to be behind this year's two major hacks - Sony's PlayStation Network and Rupert Murdoch's tabloid The Sun.
Next week a New South Wales man, David Cecil, who allegedly used the online name ''Evil'', reappears in court on 49 charges over the hacking of Australian internet company Platform Networks, one of 13 firms to offer services under the National Broadband Network.
Police are examining evidence seized from Cecil's Cowra house and other sources to establish any connection between him and attacks on Sydney University's website and Melbourne web hosting provider Distribute.IT, which lost thousands of small business websites when it was hit by a crippling cyber attack. Federal police sources say more charges could be laid against Cecil over attacks in Australia and overseas.
According to Chris Gatford of Sydney's HackLabs, who specialise in ''penetration testing'' or ''ethical hacking'' of government and business websites to test their vulnerabilities, Australia is a long way behind the benchmark for security because it has no laws requiring mandatory reporting of digital data breaches.
He says the rise in hacktivism is a cultural shift fuelled by support from the hacking subculture for former Melbourne hacker Julian Assange, his website WikiLeaks, and also Anonymous's hacking of Australian government websites in protest against proposed internet filtering.
Swedish author Stieg Larsson glamorised the image of the counterculture hacker with his character Lisbeth Salander in his The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ''Millennium series''.
''There's been this wave of unrest,'' Gatford says. ''It feeds into the rising up of groups like Anonymous and LulzSec, who protest against things they feel are not appropriate.'' The Mosman website was targeted probably only because it had a gov.au URL, he says.
Hacking of government and corporate websites, whether serious or minor, stayed largely secret in Australia because there was no compulsion to report the breaches. Those hacked, Gatford says, were reluctant to admit it for fear of damaging their reputation and being targeted again.
Security team leader at penetration testing firm Content Security, Ken Pang, said fear of further attacks stopped hacked businesses from issuing warnings to other businesses. ''Don't challenge the hacker,'' he says. ''Not a smart thing to do.''

Should you lock in the mortgage rate?
Q: Is it smart to lock in the mortgage rate?
A: The interest rate market is constantly fluctuating and often experiences quick, unexpected movements. Locking in a mortgage rate with a lender can offer protection from the time your lock is confirmed to the day it expires.
Lock-ins are logical in a rapidly-rising rate environment or when borrowers anticipate rates climbing during the next 30-60 days, which is usually the amount of time a lock-in remains in effect.
A lock-in given at the time of application is useful because it may take the lender several weeks to prepare a loan application. But these days ,automated loan practices have sliced the time significantly.
Lock-ins aren't necessarily free. Some lenders require you to pay a lock-in fee to guarantee both the rate and terms.
If your lock-in expires before you close on the loan, most lenders will base the loan rate on current market interest rates and points.

How do you ever get anything done?
How do we, as a society, ever get anything done?
Every ten seconds some kind of notification is demanding our attention. Emails from friends and colleagues, social media blips, timers, news updates, the list goes on forever. We are subjected to a constant barrage of digital noise.
And not just in one place.
We have phones, tablets, laptops, desktops and connected vehicles, just to name a few. There is never a moment when we are more than ten feet from a device that is connected to the internet. Not only is this a huge tax on our attention and the main culprit of what many call 'shiny object syndrome', it is also a huge risk to our personal data.
All day as we Tweet, post, reply, and consume, our data is passing through the airwaves on some kind of connection. Some of those connections are more secure than others, depending on the awareness and technical aptitude of the proprietor of a given wireless hotspot. However, by and large, the measures that are in place to secure our personal musings and private data are woefully inadequate.
The number of connected and mobile devices we use keeps increasing while the measures that protect us lag behind.
The next time you pick up a shiny new internet enabled gadget it is well worth asking how it may affect your privacy.

OiReilly & Associates, publishers of the popular OiReilly technical manuals, has released a new book called "Head First Java." The book employs humor, puzzles, and other methods to captivate the reader and promote the learning process, all to teach Java. From OiReilly:
According to the authors, the latest research in cognitive science, neurobiology, and educational psychology shows that learning at the deeper levels takes a lot more than text on a page. Actively combining words and pictures not only helps in understanding the subject, but in remembering it. The entertaining, image-rich, conversational approach used in "Head First Java" actually teaches the subject better by taking into account the way the human brain learns.
"Head First Java" isnit for everyone. Itis written for readers with some scripting or programming experience who want to learn Java and who prefer stimulating dinner party conversation to dry, technical lectures. People who believe that a technical book canit be serious if thereis a picture of a duck in the memory management section should probably back away from it.
Despite its playful appearance, "Head First Java" is serious stuff--a complete introduction to object-oriented (OO) programming and Java. Readers will learn everything from fundamentals to advanced topics, including threads, network sockets, and distributed programming with RMI. More importantly, theyill learn how to think like object-oriented developers. They wonit just be reading and solving puzzles--theyill be writing real Java, and plenty of it.
Kathy Sierra has been a master trainer for Sun Microsystems, teaching Sunis own instructors how to teach the latest Java technologies. Coauthor Bert Bates is a member of the development team for several of Sunis Java Certification exams. Together, Sierra and Bates have used the concepts in "Head First Java" to teach hundreds of trainers and developers.
"Bert and I both come from a work background in artificial intelligence," says Sierra. "We both spent years studying cognitive science, where we learned a great deal about how people think. But we saw a huge gap between the way the brain works and traditional approaches to learning. Here we were trying to get computers to work just a little more like humans, while teachers and textbooks were trying to get humans to work like computers--information processing machines you could just pour data into and get a result. Human brains donit work that way."
"Head First Java" is available now for US$39.95. You can get more information about the book at OiReillyis Web site.

Bodmin's run in the FA Cup comes to an end
Godalming Town 5.1 Bodmin Town
Apologies once again for the delay in bringing you up to date with our NCB Radio "Road to the FA Cup", where we are following the winners in each round, all the way through to Wembley
We started with local side,BodminTown, who got through to a 3rd Qualifying Round Replay, before going down 5.1 to Ryman League side, Godalming Town.
Dan Read scored a hat-trick for the theSurreyside, while Warren Harris hit two goals to earn them a tie at home to Maidenhead United in the next round. Chris Luxton scored a penalty for Bodmin Town, who had Lewis Reed sent off just before half time.
A win for Bodmin would have been the furthest the club had ever progressed in the FA Cup.
Whoever wins in the 4th Qualifying Round make it to the 1st Round (proper), where they could possibly be drawn against a League club.

"Back to You" had a sweet romance with a very real-life feel to it. It was told partially in the past and part in the present. The author did it a little different than the usual flashbacks. Each jump from Michael's early childhood, Michael and Lauren in high school and them in current day are broken up by chapters and dated. This really eliminated the confusion that sometimes happens when an author does quick glimpses in the past without clearly defining them. It also allowed her to be able to let us step back with the characters and get almost as much of the early years of their friendship as what's going on with each of them now.
Priscilla Glenn did a wonderful job of really helping you to connect with the characters and feel what they were feeling. The second half of the book drew about every emotion, good and bad. The only issue I had, and it was not a big one, was that I found the characters and scenes were not described in detail. It made it hard to picture it in my head and I really love to feel like I'm right there in every scene.
There was a lot of suspense waiting to find out where things were going to go and what happened in their past to get them to this point. It was definitely a story of friendship and love and what you're willing to do for each other. Michael also has a daughter and seeing his relationship with her after the troubled past he's had was touching. This book was just what I needed after coming off a couple of very dark books. "Back to You" was suspenseful, heartwarming and completely down to earth. This is Priscilla Glenn's first published book, but I will definitely be watching for what she has coming out next.

Okay, last night I had this dream where I was at school and I was having like an art workshop with my art teacher and it was so awesome. And I actually remember thinking in the dream "Oh damn, this would actually be quite useful if it were real/if it wasn't a dream", and it was like I didn't even twig that it was a dream. I sort of half knew, half didn't and I didn't even bother doing a reality check or anything. -__- How could I actually be so thick???!!!!! To think I have been trying to have my first LD for months, doing reality checks like 100000000 times a day, keeping a dream journal, everything!! and to throw away a prime opportunity to become lucid like that! I really can be quite stupid....Anyways ^_^, how can I avoid this happening again??!!? And also, I go back to school tomorrow after winter break, and I want to know how I can keep up with trying to have an LD. I have to wake up at 6am and I barley get any time to eat breakfast let alone write down like 7 dreams! Any advice?? (BTW, I am trying the MILD/DILD method).
Thank you!..Ivanna.

Re: How could I be so stupid!!
Welcome to the missed opportunities club! I have also had these too and really felt dumb like when someone suggested that I might be dreaming and I argued and said I was sure I wasn't, and besides I know how to tell the difference. But look on the bright side, every time you go to bed it's a new chance to do it right. May all your dreams come true (lucid).
Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? Morpheus

Re: How could I be so stupid!!
Two nights ago I did a reality check in my dream by counting my fingers but I wasn't really paying attention as I did it so I didn't go lucid, then a dream character mentioned my reality check and it still didn't phase m. alas, I woke up fairly upset haha. oh well

I think everybody's had this at some point, I know I've had many separate dreams in which I'm afraid to pee in my dream because I'm concerned about peeing my bed, but it doesn't click that I'm dreaming. I wake up with that " .. are you serious?" kind of disappointment.

How long have I used the product?
I have used it for just over one year.
Build quality and value for your money.
-The Epson Powerlite S5 projector is very good value for money. It is a well-built machine that is genuinely worth every penny.
Other comments
-Despite its bulky outlook, the Epson Powerlite S5 projector is still portable. I have used it for Home video projections, presentations at school and at work. I have also done experimental projections with it in various locations. This makes the Epson Powerlite S5 projector a fun product to have when sharing photos with family or experimenting in art. It comes highly recommended for a reasonable budget and a need for flexibility between the home and the office.
The Epson Powerlite S5 is therefore a great acquisition for the home and the office. There will be no need to wait for the Technician to "hook you up". With its plug and play capability, the Epson Powerlite S5 will give movie watching at home a totally different feel and at the same time give your presentations that professional look.
It is also the ideal projector for Art students who do installations and presentation in a school environment in that it is sturdy and also comes with a mid-range price tag.Loss or damage cannot be compared to the financial ramifications this would have for a higher end product.

Well, the groomers just called and said that I can come pick up my dog. We have a little Bichon Frise` - better known as "Baby". She was a mess and I was embarrased to bring her. I told the groomer that she wasn't abused - she just thinks she is a Lab! Enjoy your day! :)

Grapplers doing newspaper interviews in character may have been the norm in the 1970s, when wrestling still portrayed itself (poorly, in many cases) as real athletic competition.
But in 2006, when the cat is clearly out of the bag, that old school practice is as ridiculous as William Shatner insisting on being interviewed as Captain Kirk, or Terrell Owens trying to convince reporters he's developed a sense of humility.
So when the call from WWE H.Q. was preceded by a friendly warning -- Kane would only speak to the Calgary Sun as his wrestling character, not as the athlete behind the gimmick -- the potential for a train wreck interview was looming.
Luckily, Kane (Glen Jacobs) is a master of the media junket, never directly violating WWE's 'in character' edict but still managing to keep the conversation grounded in reality.
He openly spoke of meeting with WWE boss Vince McMahon about an upcoming project, but with a wink-wink-nudge-nudge, said McMahon wisely approached him "very, very cautiously."
He willingly let the conversation move into the realm of sports talk but after some surprisingly educated opinions on the L.A. Lakers' mishandling of Shaquille O'Neal, he gleefully talked about choking out Pete Rose.
Of course, most of the talk revolved around the release of Kane's upcoming horror movie, See No Evil, in which he plays a violent psychopath with homicidal eyes for a group of delinquent teenagers.
It's the first big budget release from WWE's motion picture division, and given McMahon's disastrous track record in non-wrestling ventures (XFL, anyone?), industry insiders are taking a wait-and-see approach with the flick.
But Kane says the movie -- which is being theatrically released by Lions Gate Pictures next weekend -- is a top quality Hollywood gore-fest.
"A good horror movie has a good story and a good character," Kane said. "This movie has both. I felt a connection to the character as soon as I read the script."
Playing a psychotic killer wasn't much of a stretch for the 6-ft. 10-in. superstar. For the past decade, his only public appearances have been as a muscle-bound monster on Monday Night Raw, a role which unnerved his fellow actors on the first day of filming.
"Oh, they were definitely scared of me," Kane said with a laugh. "But intimidation is a good thing, because you can get the reaction you want out of people. In some of those scenes, those actors aren't really 'acting' as much as you think."
Kane also gives props to WWE for its incredible marketing strategy for the movie, weaving the May 19 release date into Raw's weekly storylines. In the wrestling universe, May 19 has been revealed as the anniversary of a mystery tragedy in Kane's past and the very mention of the date sends his character into fits of violent rage.
"The trigger that this date has on me has got people chanting it in the arenas now," Kane said. "What other movie can you think of where crowds have chanted the release date?"
Kane is keeping mum -- for now -- on what the secret is. But he was more than willing to chat about some decidedly less dastardly topics, such as the NBA's MVP Award.
"Kobe (Bryant) is a great player," said Kane, who was an NCAA basketball all-star in his pre- scary monster days. "But Steve Nash deserved it all the way."

Minnesota, Arizona sign new biofuel legislation into law
Minnesota and Arizona have recently passed new laws related to biofuels. In Minnesota, the 2012 Omnibus Agriculture Policy bill extends exceptions to the state's biodiesel mandate for three more years, and also extends and expands the state's E20 mandate for two years. The two new Arizona laws help insure algae cultivation is treated the same as other agricultural operations under state law.
The Minnesota legislation, titled the 2012 Omnibus Agriculture Policy bill, was signed into law by Gov. Mark Dayton the first week of May. Regarding biodiesel, the measure extends existing exemptions for specific industries from the state's biodiesel fuel mandate and creates a new exemption for Coast Guard ships. Certain ships inspected by the Coast Guard are also exempt, including freight, steam, tank and towing vessels and Great Lakes barges. Some examples of existing exempt industries include locomotives, motors located at a power plant regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, off-road logging equipment and machinery, and off-road taconite and copper mining equipment and machinery.
The law also extends the existing biodiesel fuel mandate exception for No. 1 diesel sold, or offered for sale, during cold-weather months through March 31, 2015. As part of the extension, the state Agriculture Commissioner, Commerce Commissioner and Biodiesel Fuel Task Force are directed to continue to study the need for the exception and make reports that evaluate the need for the exemption and include the Agricultural Commissioner's recommendations regarding further continuance of the exemption.
In addition to extending the E20 mandate through Aug. 30, 2015, the law also opens up the possibility of increasing the use of next-generation biofuels. The NextGen Energy Board is directed to generate a report by February 2013 that includes an analysis of next-generation biofuels that could be blended with gasoline or other energy sources. Specifically, the report is to analyze research on next-generation biofuels blends and information on federal approvals and approvals needed, and the status of federal approval for next-generation biofuels. The report will be used to make policy recommendations for updating the state's biofuel mandates to reflect current industry practices.
Alternatively, the two Arizona laws widen tax definitions of agricultural real property in the state to include lands devoted to algaculture. This means algae cultivation operations can enjoy the same lower property tax rates that apply to farming businesses. The second bill adds the growth and harvest of algae to the definition of agricultural state trust lands, thereby allowing the Arizona State Land Department to issue agricultural leases for algaculture operations.
Algae Biosciences Inc. has spoken out in support of the measures, noting that the new laws could potentially lead to additional investment capital, well-paying jobs, a larger tax base and sustainable use of agricultural lands within the state.
"It's great to see such timely legislation that makes so much sense, and fits so well for this state—because of our nonarable land, flat land, the abundance of waste water and brine water, and 360 days of sunshine a year," said Mark Edwards, AlgaeBio's vice president of corporate development and marketing. "Arizona has an opportunity to lead, globally, because a lot of other jurisdictions, other countries, will follow this example."

In earlier posts I did mention the importance of using your own employees as a valuable source of new ideas. They can for instance come up with ideas for new offerings based upon changed customer needs, and also ideas how to speed up internal processes.
How can you stimulate ideas?
1. In order to create an environment where ideas will flourish, the management needs to build and gain trust..
2. They will only bring their ideas forward when they have the feeling and the experience that their ideas are taken seriously.
3. Never 'punish 'people for their ideas, even if they are not appropriate.
4. Give credit for ideas. The most important form of credit is verbal recognition of the valuable contribution.
5. Give support to get the ideas implemented. Support can be sponsorship and/or money and/or resources.
6. Do not force people to give more ideas. If the environment is positive and enthusiastic, people will automatically come up with ideas.
7. Always give feedback.
8. Be honest.
9. Control kills every initiative, so promote coaching.
10. Be vulnerable and let them know that you don't have all the answers and that you need every set of eyes and ears in the company.
11. Give people access to blogs, video's, social media.
12. Regularly invite speakers about a wide variety of subjects ( e.g. from gardening, to painting, to anthropology).
13. Let people attend seminars, network meetings, community gatherings.
14. Create spaces where people can brainstorm with each other.
These are just a basic set of conditions that need to be established. The investment is rather low, but the benefit can be substantial!

St. Peter's Episcopal Church, 218 Somonauk St., Sycamore, will offer a Blessing of the Animals on Saturday.
This event is held to give thanks to God for all animals, and especially for those who are a part of people's lives as pets, service animals and livestock. Residents are invited to bring any animal that enjoys the company of people and other animals, to receive a blessing from the church in the name of God. If an animal cannot come to the event, participants can bring a picture, a collar, or other object as a sign of their relationship with the animal.
The rite of the Blessing of the Animals will include a brief reading from scripture, prayers offered for all kinds of animals, both wild and domestic, and the offering of the blessing itself.
The event will begin at 4 p.m. in front of the Parish House next to the church building. In the event of rain, the Blessing of the Animals will be offered inside the Parish House.
Saint Peter's welcomes all people. For those looking for more meaning and deepened spirituality, the Episcopal Church offers honest and unconditional acceptance.
For more information, call 815-895-2227 or visit www.sycamorestpeters.org.

Drone safety: rise in popularity comes with rise in safety, security concerns
Drones: they're not simply popular Christmas gifts for tech hobbyists; they're also useful tools for people in a variety of professions.
Offering easier than ever access to coveted eyes in the sky, drones go places we can't, and see things we won't.
But that potential to go anywhere and see anything, combined with their great popularity, also makes drones a risk to privacy and security.
That's why law enforcement and professional drone operators in the Lowcountry are on the same page when it comes to responsible and legal drone use.
It's not uncommon for Inspector Chip Googe to routinely inspect the Mount Pleasant Police Department's drone equipment.
"This is the camera. It shoots in 4K video," says Googe as he shows off the gadget. "It's basically a hard plastic."
The department purchased their drone about a year ago.
Googe explained, "Is very important for us to have everything that we need to keep this community as safe as possible."
So far, the drone's been used for town events, a missing person's case, and when officers say two theft suspects ran from them at Town Centre.
"The speed at which we can get it in the air and cover is a lot better than officers just walking on the ground," said Googe.
The department's drone is one of more than 816,000 registered in South Carolina with the Federal Aviation Administration.
"I don't see this is something that's going to go away. I think this is going to become a cultural norm," added Googe.
That's why Googe wants you to be aware. If you see something suspicious, say something.
"If something is below your tree line in your yard or over your home or near a window buzzing, that is something that you need to call us and let us take care of."
So far, he says his department has only received a handful of concerns. Other local agencies have had few or none at all. None have been illegal.
However, across the country it is happening. Aaron Foote of Utah is accused of taking video of people in their homes with his drone.
"As drones become more prevalent socially, privacy of course is a concern," added Tom Fernandez of Skyview Aerial Solutions.
Fernandez says breaking the rules could cost you.
"For recreational and commercial users of drones who do not follow FAA guidelines, there are either civil fines and for commercial users they can have their license removed," he explained.
You must fly at or below 400 feet, never fly over groups of people, never fly over stadiums or sports events and never fly near other aircraft -- especially near airports.
But in South Carolina, the sky is the limit. There are no state laws governing the recreational use of drones.
"There's always going to be someone who uses, whether it's a drone or the internet, for malicious intent," Fernandez said. "Unfortunately we cannot always anticipate for those, but we can educate hobbyists and commercial users about the responsible use of drones."
It's a goal Inspector Googe says will be even more important as drone popularity continues to reach new heights.
"It is a top priority for us as a police department."

(pl. Sebaim ; in Authorized Version incorrectly rendered Sabeans) heads the list of the sons of Cush. Besides the mention of Seba in the lists of the pens of Cush, ( Genesis 10:7 ; 1 Chronicles 1:9 ) there are but three notices of the nation -- ( Psalms 72:10 ; Isaiah 43:3 ; 45:14 ) These passages seem to show that Seba was a nation of Africa bordering on or included in Cush, and in Solomons time independent and of political importance. It may perhaps be identified with the island of Meroe. Josephus says that Saba was the ancient name of the Ethiopian island and city of Meroe, but he writes Seba, in the notice of the Noachian settlements, Sabas. The island of Meroe lay between the Astaboras, the Atbara, the most northern tributary of the Nile, and the Astapus, the Bahr el-Azrak, "Blue River," the eastern of its two great confluents.

Make It Right is building 150 safe, sustainable homes in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward, the neighborhood most devastated by Hurricane Katrina. To date, over 100 homes are built. Read more about the history of this project here.
Homeowners choose from 21 innovative designs, including single-family and duplex houses, and customize their homes by choosing the paint colors, flooring, cabinets and countertops that best suit their style and needs. The average single family home is 1,400 square feet.
More than 350 people are now living in Make It Right homes in part of the neighborhood that was desolate just four years ago. In addition to providing homes, we have built an eco-friendly, solar-powered playground and worked with residents to plant community gardens throughout the neighborhood. Now we are exploring ways to attract other needed services and amenities to ensure the long-term sustainability of the community.
Make It Right also significantly invests in hiring and training local businesses and tradespeople. Our cutting-edge work in sustainable design, construction and solar power has helped train a local workforce in greencollar jobs and helped position New Orleans and Louisiana as a leader in the green economy.
