"Riders develop balance and rhythm as they feel the movement of the horse and embrace the ageless goal of lightness and harmony with one's equine partner."I don't think that that lofty goal was quite achieved tonight, but it's only day one. Audrey was actually a little more scaredy cat than she was a year ago. Which sort of annoyed me at first, until I remembered that in the meantime she'd broken her arm falling off of monkey bars and smashed her face in falling off a swing.
But she got on her horse, Lizzie, just fine and was perfectly calm after a few minutes. They don't do much the first day...they just walked her around and asked her to say "whoa" and "walk on". Even with all of these beautiful half-ton animals galloping around, Audrey was mainly concerned with the stable cats and if they were watching her.
Sadly, they were not...

The Historic Japanese Car Gathering crew hosted what had to be one of the largest vintage Skyline meets outside of Japan. Held at the San Leandro Marina in California, the iconic cars posed against the Bayline scenery. Fatlace presented their acclaimed Hakosuka and Kenmeri. The guys from JDM Legends drove all the way from Salt Lake City. The most notable guest was Mary from the popular '60s Skyline commercial.
Besides the legendary Skylines, many other pre-'86 Japanese cars squeaked their way in. Enthusiasts were treated to rows of impeccable nostalgic cars. It was inspiring to see these classic automobile aficionados and their attention to detail. I'm sure all would agree, these aren't just cars; these are pieces of history.

But some Americans want to know what he's hiding. From an article in the Huffington Post:
A Reddit user decided to submit a Freedom Of Information Act request for the White House Honey Ale recipe, or any other White House brews, which include White House Honey Porter and White House Honey Blonde Ale. All three use honey from Michelle Obama's White House garden.
The Reddit post can be found here.
However, to get the government to stop hiding the truth from the people, a petition on the White House website needs to reach 25,000 signatures. At the time of publication, it only had around 2,400.

Tuesday's Dose - 22nd May 2012
How to Please God?
"He also who had received two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.' His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'" - Matthew 25:22-23 (NKJV).
In God's economy there is a place of service for every single member of his family; that is, for every individual Christian in the church, or what the Apostle Paul called "the body of Christ." Every one of us is equally important. As Paul said, "The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I don't need you!' And the head cannot say to the feet, 'I don't need you!'" - 1 Corinthians 12:21 (NIV).
And every one of us has at least one gift with which to serve God. The important thing is to know what your gifting is and put it to good use serving God ...first at home ... then in the church and Lord's work ... and in some way everywhere you go. For example, if you have the gift of encouragement, you can use that anywhere.
You are probably familiar with the words of Henry Van Dyke who said so simply yet so eloquently: "Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best."
Remember, too, that people are the "instruments" God uses to get his work done on earth and, like a doctor's scalpel, the sharper the instrument, the more effective work God can do with the instrument. For example, if you have a desire to write, sing, teach, preach, or be a "butcher, baker or candlestick maker" then get the training necessary to be the best at what you like doing best. Then seek ways to use your gifts even if in seemingly humble ways to begin with. My job for several years as a young teenager was to collect and put away the hymn books in our small countrified church.
When we are faithful in the little things, God will lead us to bigger things if we so desire and are so gifted. Regardless, every responsibility is of equal importance in God's service, and we will be rewarded, when Jesus comes, not according to our gifting but according to our faithfulness.
Prayer: "Our Loving Heavenly Father, help me to know what my gifts are, get the training I need to sharpen them, and find a place where I can put these to best use in serving you—and thereby help make my world a better place in which to live. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, In Jesus Loving Name I Pray, Amen."
Have a Blessed Tuesday and God Bless you.

Maybe I've been in Afghanistan too much in the last eight months, because it amazed me today how easily they've made a little corner of Kabul look like the modern Western world.
In reality it's not magic. Folks in Hollywood do this. Land a couple of transport planes loaded with lighting equipment and palm trees and you can turn Quebec into Miami.
But Afghanistan? I was impressed.
Here, the transformation has taken place at the decrepit Kabul Inter-Continental Hotel. It's so seedy that the real Inter-Continental hotel chain writes my boss if I don't say that this one's NOT part of their system. But into its grimy interior, Western donors have inserted a modern press center.
When the lights are dim and you can't see the awful walls or carpet, the briefing room looks straight out of Washington, D.C. OK, the air conditioning doesn't work. But the podium's got stage lighting and a TV-ready blue backdrop. Nearby, for the writing press, are computers for Internet access—something unheard-of in these parts.
The press corps provides the extras in this movie. We dutifully stare at the big-screen television that shows the proceedings next door at the Afghan national assembly, an event known as the loya jirga. We listen earnestly as our translators tell us what's being said. We race out to briefings.
Don't look too close and you can imagine a scene from The West Wing.
I was truly impressed until the audio-video system collapsed, just as the first big event was about to start, the speech by the former king Zahir Shah.
I'd already seen a text of what he planned to say. Everyone knew what he was going to say. But it was still a historic moment that I and 300 colleagues were about to miss.
Except for a handful of folks in a pre-selected pool, the media aren't allowed in the huge white tent where the 1,550 delegates are creating a new government. That pool wouldn't emerge from the tent until day's end, possibly past deadline.
Kabul TV, the rickety local broadcast station, saved us. They still were getting their feed and rebroadcasting it in the city. I hurried back to our house to watch. Fortunately, my USA Today colleague Larry was still in town and he stayed at the Inter-Continental to cover any briefings or announcements.
Maybe it was the Western-style press center, but somehow, foolishly, I expected the rest of the day to follow the Western script. After the king's endorsement and a bunch of other speeches, Hamid Karzai would be approved as Afghanistan's next president.
Of course, neither Karzai nor the delegates felt any obligation to do as I wished.
The session ended abruptly without a vote on Karzai—or so I thought. And so did Larry and everyone else, until Karzai told a news agency that he'd already won. Worse yet, I heard it first from my editor. Yuck.
Larry, who I reached by phone, dictated his notes on the chaos. The chairman of the loya jirga commission had confirmed that Karzai had won. Sort of. Even though none of us saw any vote, he said the applause of the delegates might be enough to affirm a new leader.
From my experience, new democracies don't accept shortcuts like that. Instinct told me to get back to the hotel. Deadlines told me I couldn't. I tried to help Larry out by making some calls, without success. Boy, did I feel useless.
Then my editor found out from the wires, again before me (grrrr), that Karzai had reversed himself, that his spokesman said it was all a mistake. Because of deadlines, the desk wrote the top of our story.
For me, the sheen is off that new press center and it now looks more Hollywood than real.

CruiseTours, Cruisetours and Cruise Toursby Paul Motter, CruiseMates Editor | October 4, 2008
No matter how you spell it, a cruisetour is a shipboard voyage combined with a land-based tour.European Cruisetours
By way of contrast, lets look at a European cruisetour, also from Royal Caribbean. This one is called the 10 Night Italian Lakes, Verona & Venice Cruisetour. You fly into beautiful Milan, the financial and fashion capital of Italy. From Milan you are driven north to Stresa, Italy, near the northern border with Switzerland. You spend two nights in a hotel in Stresa which includes day tours throughout the region including a day boat to the beautiful Borromean Islands. The next day you travel to historic and ancient Verona where you see the Roman aqueducts and the balcony of Shakespeare's Juliet.
After spending a night in a hotel in Verona, you take a motor coach to Venice where you spend the day touring before you board your cruise ship for your cruise to Croatia, Corfu, Athens, Mykonos and Katakolon, Greece.Summing Up
Cruisetours are a simple way to combine a cruise with a land tour. The advantage of a cruisetour is that all the details are prearranged for you including making sure you get to your ship on time. You do not have to make separate reservations at any hotels or pre-arrange transportation to your cruise ship. Every detail is handled for you, including picking a restaurant for you for each meal, which you may or may not choose to attend.
Naturally, you can always arrange to arrive in a city a few days before your cruise and see it on your own. I highly recommend this for cruises that start in cities like Venice or Rome. But if you want to see a variety of sites before your cruise and that will require arranging transportation to many different places and hotels, then a pre-arranged cruisetour is a simple way to have all the planning done for you.
One last thing - based on our experience, you will enjoy a land tour a lot more if you plan it for the period before your cruise instead of after. The land tours generally require more energy and logistic planning than your cruise will, so your enthusiasm for such details will be greater before your cruise than afterwards. Trying to do extensive touring after your cruise is like trying to jog after a full-body massage. You can do it, but it feels better in the opposite order.

The Obsessive Goodness Is Spreading
OR I could just show more pictures!
This is lychnis. It has beautiful fuzzy silvery leaves, and the flowers aren't half bad either!
Another silvery beauty in my garden is "Looking Glass" brunnera. It is a great brightener for shady areas. It has flowers similar to forget-me-nots, but it is the foliage that I love.
This morning even MORE of the hibiscus were blooming. I loved this shot since it includes the full bloom with the funky pistil and stamen, a fully closed bud, a not yet ready to open bud all sweetly curled up in the calyx, the underside of a flower which gives a view of how the calyx hugs and supports the huge corolla, a just blooming flower, a waning flower, and the leaves. A great botanical study.
And last, but not least, my Tiffany tea rose finally bloomed. It is as beautiful as I had hoped it would be and it smells nice too. I am sad to say that this is the only Menards tea rose that made it, but I am still happy because this is the one that I really wanted anyway!

Here Are 5 Advantages Of E-commerce
These advantages are for ecommerce particularly and not for ecommerce website development, ecommerce development, ecommerce developers or e-commerce website development.
Lower Cost
Doing e-business is price effective; it decreases logistical problems and places a online company on a par with leaders such as Amazon.com or General Engines. In a commercial bank, for example. a basic over-the-counter deal expenditures £0.50 to process; over the Internet, the same deal expenditures about £0.01. Every financial deal eventually gets an electronic procedure. The earlier it creates the transformation, the more cost-effective the deal becomes.
Unlike the brick–and–mortar environment, in e–commerce there is no physical store space, insurance, or facilities investment. All you need is an idea, a unique product, and a well–designed web store to reach your clients, plus a partner to do satisfaction. This creates e–commerce a lot more reasonable.
Higher Margins
E–commerce indicates greater edges. For example, the price of handling an airfare is £5. According to one travel agent, handling the same admission on the internet expenditures £1. Along with greater edges, businesses can gain more control and versatility and are able to not spend when guide dealings are done eletronically.
Better Client Service
E–commerce indicates better and faster customer service. Online customer service creates clients more happy. Instead of contacting your company on the phone, the web vendor gives clients direct to their personal account on the internet. This helps you to save money. For organizations that do company with other organizations, including customer service on the internet is a competitive advantage. The instantaneously program shipping assistance, where monitoring numbers allow clients to check the location of a program on the internet, is one good example.
Quick Evaluation Shopping
E–commerce helps customers to shop around. Computerized online purchasing staff called hopbots search websites and find deals on everything from celery ro printing device lace.

Colorado Supreme Court Upholds Illegals' Privacy Rights—Correctly
By Julian Dunraven, J.D., M.P.A.
Honorable Friends,
This evening, two of my honorable friends here at the PPC, Ben DeGrow and El Presidente, have called my attention to the Colorado Supreme Court's decision in The People v. Gutierrez, in which a 4-3 majority ruled that the state violated the 4th Amendment privacy rights of the defendant in seizing his tax records without a proper warrant showing probable cause. The defendant also happened to be an illegal immigrant. Former Congressman Tom Tancredo, as quoted in The Washington Times, is outraged by the decision and would like our honorable friends at Clear the Bench Colorado (CTBC) to add this case to their ever lengthening list of judicial offenses. Holding the judiciary accountable is a laudable goal, but also one that requires a good deal of thought to accomplish in the interest of fairness and justice. It requires more than cursory analysis and gut reactions. It requires asking whether the Court remained faithful to the Constitution. Contrary to Mr. Tancredo's objections, I believe CTBC can point to this decision as one in which the Mullarkey majority finally acted correctly.
First of all, it is important to understand that anyone in this country, legal or otherwise, has 4th Amendment protections. The 4th Amendment is not limited to citizens, but considered one of the basic rights of humankind. The British once made the mistake of applying its protections only to British citizens, and the colonists responded with the American Revolution. For that reason, the 4th Amendment states:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Also, it is important to understand that the U.S. expects all people in this country to pay taxes, regardless of immigration status. To accommodate both legal and illegal immigrants who often lack Social Security Numbers (SSN), they are permitted to file taxes with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN).
Now that we have clarified those basic points, allow me to give you a few facts about this case. The Weld County Sheriff's Department investigated an undocumented immigrant named Servando Trejo on charges of identity theft. Trejo admitted to being an illegal immigrant and that he used a false name and SSN to obtain work. He further informed police that he had filed income taxes using an ITIN rather than the false SSN. He then filed his taxes through Amalia's Tax Service in Greeley. He said that Amalia's had helped him obtain the ITIN and implied that all illegal immigrants in the area know to use Amalia's.
The owner of Amalia's, told investigators that she often prepared taxes for illegal immigrants. She further speculated that most people applying for ITINs were illegal immigrants and that most of her clients using ITINs have SSNs belonging to someone else.
On the basis of this information, the police secured a warrant to search Amalia's Tax Service for all tax returns filed in 2006-2007 with ITINs which did not match SSNs on wage earning documents such as W2 forms. They speculated that this would be an effective method to fish for those engaged in identity theft, even calling it "Operation Numbers Game." Unfortunately, the files were not kept by date, but by client. Thus, the police seized all 5000 client files. They proceeded to examine each file, irrespective of the date limitation in the warrant. One file with a mismatch between SSN and ITIN belonged to Ricardo Gutierrez, who was subsequently charged with identity theft. He argued, however, that the police violated his 4th Amendment rights in obtaining this evidence and should be barred from using it. The Colorado Supreme Court agreed with him.
The Right to Privacy and Probable Cause:
The Court's reasoning is fairly simple. Most people expect their tax records to be fairly confidential. After all, they contain so much information about income, investments, property, family, et cetera as to paint a fairly basic picture of our lives. We do not want just anyone to have access to that. We do not even want any government agency to have access to that at will. Thus, the 4th Amendment, bolstered by Congress's specific legislation, ensures that our tax papers enjoy the same privacy as we would have in our own home.
Of course, this means that, to invade our privacy, the police need specific warrants. They cannot simply say, "We want all tax records," and hope they find something interesting. They have to have some reasonable and specific suspicion first, and identify us as particular suspects before they go rummaging about our things. This is the nature of probable cause, and exactly what the police failed to achieve in this case. Instead, they went fishing.
The warrant the police obtained was not limited to their original suspect. They did not even limit themselves to the dates the warrant specified. They examined all files of every individual client despite the fact they had no basis to suspect any of those individuals of wrongdoing. For these reasons, the warrant was overly broad, utterly eviscerating the purposes of the 4th Amendment. No reasonable police officer could have thought such a blatant fishing expedition would be valid. If it were, police might as well start randomly inspecting homes to see if they find any evidence of illegal activity. Dreadful thought.
In the dissent, Justice Coats makes the point that the police did have probable cause to suspect that the owner of Amalia's knowingly aided and abetted instances of identity theft if she knew some of the SSNs were false. As such, the police could have obtained a warrant to search for mismatched ITINs and SSNs which would indicate a pattern of fraud on the part of Amalia's. This would have allowed them to conduct the search exactly as they did—but this time without violations of the 4th Amendment.
However, this is not what happened. Neither the police nor the district attorney even suggested any wrongdoing on the part of Amalia's. They were interested only in fishing for possible but unknown wrongdoing on the part of Amalia's unidentified clients. Justice Coats fails to recognize that fact and Justice Bender's majority opinion is correct to distinguish it. Although a search for fraud on the part of Amalia's Tax Services would have provided the same information as an unspecified search of unknown clients in an attempt to find evidence of wrongdoing, the former has probable cause to support it while the latter is supported by nothing but the arbitrary will of law enforcement. Though the distinction is fine, it is also of vital importance. And that, my honorable friends, is the difference between a republic of laws and the tyranny of a police state.

Myers–that have a voter threshold that must be reached to form a historic district set that threshold at a simple majority of votes received, or require that 50% of property owners in a proposed district return a "no" vote to defeat designation. In other cities, such as Orlando, Coral Gables, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, historic districts are formed by the City Commission, not by homeowner vote. Lowering the threshold to a simple majority homeowner vote not only will bring Winter Park in line with other cities that value their history, but with all other Winter Park policies that just require a majority vote.

Ratnasambhava (Lit. "Jewel-Born")[1] is one of the Five Dhyani Buddhas (or "Five Meditation Buddhas") of Vajrayana or Tantric Buddhism. Ratnasambhava's mandalas and mantras focus on developing equanimity and equality and, in Vajrayana Buddhist thought is associated with the attempt to destroy greed and pride. His consort is Mamaki and his mount is a horse or a pair of lions. His wrathful manifestation is Gundari. Often included in his retinue is the worldly dharmapāla Jambhala.

Textual HistoryEdit
The first documented mention of Ratnasambhava is found in the Ārya Suvarna-prabhā-sottamasutrendrarājamahāyana Sutra (Sutra of Golden Light) and in the Guhyasamāja tantra (4th Century CE), and he subsequently appears in a number of vajrayana texts. The most elaborate account of him is to be found in the Panchakara section of the Advyavajra sangrah.
Ratnasambhava is also mentioned as one of the Buddhas worthy of praise in the Earth Store Bodhisattva Sutra, chapter 9:[2]
|Again in the past, immeasurable, incalculable kalpas ago, as many as the grains of sand in the Ganges River, there appeared in the world a Buddha bearing the title of Ratnasambhava Tathagata. Any man or woman, hearing the Buddha's name and showing respect to him, will soon attain the stage of an Arhat.
Ratnasaṃbhava is associated with the skandha of feeling or sensation and its relationship with consciousness. His activity in promoting Buddhism is enriching and increasing knowledge of Dharma. Ratnasambhava is associated with the jewel symbol, which corresponds with his family, Ratna or jewel. In artwork he is shown in the mudra of giving.
He is usually coloured yellow or gold. He is associated with the element earth, the heavenly quarter of the south and the season of spring. His cardinal direction is the south. His Buddha field is known as Śrimat.
In the Bardo Thodol, he is depicted in union with Mamaki and attended by the male bodhisattvas Akasagarbha and Samantabhadra and the female bodhisattvas Mala and Dhupa.
In Tibet, Vaiśravaṇa, also known as Jambhala and Kubera, is considered a worldly dharmapāla, and is often depicted as a member of the retinue of Ratnasambhava.[3]
The Wisdom King Gundari is a manifestation of Ratnasambhava (Hōshō Nyorai).[4]

First up is the Periwinkle Top and Dress. The pattern comes with different skirt options and is a quick and easy make especially in the top version.
I would recommend trying the straps for size before sewing them in if you have a child that is tall. My DD is only slender but quite tall, so for us I made the 7 width, 10 length, with strap length of 12. She is really looking forward to spring/summer when i can make a dress length.
For now we did a top which as it turns out is perfect for climbing trees at the Sunshine Coast.
We also tested the Box Pleat Skirt which is my daughters favourite at the moment. She adores the watermelon version.
This cute little skirt has box pleats and a neat waistbands, add pockets if you like and belt loops. It comes with an invisible zip. But is easily transformed to use a standard zip. Which is what I did on the watermelon version as I was out of invisible ones.
I did adjust the watermelon skirt slightly as I bound the bottom edge and its probably a teeny bit shorter than it should be, but my DD adores it and its her most favourite thing in the cupboard at the moment.
It was a relatively quick sew as well, once you have made the pleats and came together nicely.
And we also made a heavier pinwale cord version.

Well....yeah, kind of. I just haven't posted anything in almost a year!
I was inspired by the work I saw, so decided to have a little art show of my own.
These pieces are all part of my series, Layers. I explored many techniques, playing with adding layers to a background.
The top quiltlet is created with a commercial batik. It is all the same fabric, but some of it was treated to a bleach discharge. I then used the resultant fabric with the original to create a simple grid. For some reason, this reminded me of a beach and the hidden treasures that we find there, hence the name of this piece: Hidden Treasures.
The background piece was quilted directly onto the quit base and then distressed. Each approach produced a slightly different result.
In the upper corners of the top quiltlet are eyelets as I have an on-going desire to explore different ways to create holes in quilts.
The piece really didn't feel complete until I place it on the back layer. Once I did that, It felt happier.
The close up shows the banner fabric as well as more rusted cheesecloth, and embossed metal pieces. The circle in the mid-right hand is a washer, and the rectangle at the bottom is a scrap booking file/label frame. Scrapbooking shops are a great resource for fabric artists!
Pretty much dead center is a long,hand crafted bead made by wrapping painted Tyvek around a straw, securing it with glue and then distressing it with a heat gun! It is couched onto the quilt with strands of beads.
The piece reminds me of the rich humus soil found along a stream bed or deep in the forest....dead leaves, branches, mud, grasses, all decaying and creating the bed from which new life will spring.
I laid out a layer of tar gel and then introduced a variety of color media into it including interference, and pure pigments. A bit of metallic paste was applied to add a bit of glitz...a girl can never have too much bling! The tar gel was applied directly to the fabric to see how it would perform and to determine if I could quilt through it.
To my great joy, I discovered that it did, indeed, like being stitched on! Alas, I had done the experiment on a little scrap of ugly hand dyed and rusted fabric. But I liked it so well, that I added a patch in the upper right hand corner and made it into this little piece. A simple uneven four patch background and a strip of painted tyvek combined with some simple straight line quilting, and I had created one of my favorite little pieces!
I loved the inspiration I got at the Art Show....I have not had the luxury of time to work on art for a while, and this has made me realize that I am desperately missing it. I can feel some creative time headed my way. Who knows, maybe I will even find time to share some more of my "profound" thoughts on my blog!
I hope for you a time of creativity and joy....
Ta ta for now......

Press release
New health maps to drive children's health improvements
- New Atlas of Variation for Children's Services shines a light on differences in care - The differences in health services for children…
- New Atlas of Variation for Children's Services shines a light on differences in care -
The differences in health services for children across the country have been laid bare for the first time today.
The NHS Atlas of Variation in Healthcare for Children and Young People maps out the variation in healthcare for 25 different child health issues acrossEngland.
The Atlas shows:
- **Breastfeeding: **There is a three-fold variation in breastfeeding rates for babies aged 6-8 weeks across the country.
- **Asthma: **Variation in the treatment of child asthma has increased. In 2008/09, there was a four-fold variation in the rate of children admitted for emergency hospital treatment - by 2009/10, that had risen to a five-fold variation.
- **Epilepsy: **There is a four-fold variation in the emergency admission rate for children with epilepsy.
- A&E: There is a 3.5-fold variation in A&E attendance for children aged 0-4.
- Diabetes: There is a 2.6-fold variation in the percentage of children with diabetes admitted to hospital for diabetic ketoacidosis - a serious emergency condition that can lead to coma or even death if Type 1 diabetes is not properly managed.
- Tonsillectomies: There is almost a three-fold variation in the rate of elective tonsillectomies in children aged 0-17
Although variation in services can be a sign of services being tailored to the needs to local patients, unwarranted variation - which cannot be explained by variation in patient illness or preferences - is not acceptable. The Atlas of Variation will help hospitals, community services, Primary Care Trusts and emerging Clinical Commissioning Groups to see how their area compares to others around the country, analyse the reasons why and if necessary put plans in place to make improvements.
Health Secretary Andrew Lansley said:
"We have published these maps to shine a light on unjustified variation in the most essential services for children and young people across the country.
"The challenge for the NHS is for every service to get to the level of the best. Local hospitals, services and commissioners will only know where they need to take action to improve services for their patients if they can see how other parts of the country are performing.
"That is also why we are bringing together people from across the NHS, social care and wider children's services to develop a Children's and Young People's Outcomes Strategy - a clear set of goals to give all children the right start in life."
Dr Sheila Shribman, the National Clinical Director for Children, Young People and Maternity Services, said:
"Tackling unwarranted variation can help the NHS to provide better care, reduce waste and make sure that all children and young people get the best possible results from their care.
"The Atlas sets out the platform from which local child health commissioners and clinicians should be inspired to evaluate and most of all improve the quality of their care and results for patients."
Notes to Editors
- The NHS Atlas of Variation in Healthcare for Children and Young People has been produced by the QIPP Right Care programme. Copies of the report and an interactive version can be found at the Right Care website.

Like any other company, Status Labs has experienced a reputation crisis in the past. This is quite ironic because the firm deals in online reputation management. In its case, it got dragged into negative publicity following disparaging remarks that were made a former executive of the firm. What initially started as local news was rapidly taken up by mainstream media, which turned it into a major and controversial story. This greatly threatened the firm's reputation.
Status Labs has been of help to more than 1,000 individuals and businesses in their quest to repair questionable reputations. The crisis that faced the company was therefore unexpected and satirical. Those who see the industry as having no meaning were justified, albeit temporarily. The company however proved them wrong when it picked up the pieces and repaired its reputation. In as much as it was a long shot, it has been of great benefit in the end.
How Status Labs Recovered
The firm changed its leadership structure. The executive who had uttered the remarks was forced to resign. This was made known to the media and it played a significant role in quelling the public vilification that existed. Engagement in local community projects in Austin such as Dress for Success, Caritas, Urban Roots and the Capital Food Bank of Texas also helped.
Increasing employee participation was similarly beneficial. Besides this, frequent lunches and scheduled outings also helped restore the firm's image. Since then, the company has also been cautious when it comes to staff recruitment. Those who are brought on board are vetted to ensure that they have high ethical principles.
Darius Fisher in Brief
He is Status Labs' co-founder and president. His proactive management technique has seen him offer practical leadership, which has seen the company grow remarkably. At the moment, it has offices in Sao Paolo and New Yorks besides its Austin base. Under his leadership, Status Labs has established networks in 35 countries.
As the firm's President, Darius has overseen a significant workplace transformation, which has seen it emerge one of the best ORM, marketing and PR firms globally. Additionally, he has helped create extensive partnerships with major players in the corporate world. Fisher is an alumnus of Vanderbilt University.

Mark Morrisroe 'Nyph-o-maniac' 1983 WestLicht Collection
Between 1972 and 1990 the Polaroid company, working in collaboration with over 800 artists around the world, amassed a collection of about 4,400 prints. Artists such as Ansel Adams, Robert Mapplethorpe, Mary Ellen Mark, Robert Rauschenberg, William Wegman, Stephen Shore, Sally Mann, David Levinthal and Andy Warhol. For 20 years the collection was lost in the archives of Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne in Switzerland. After the Polaroid company dissolved, liquidators sent their hounds to look for assets. The fate of the polaroids was uncertain, sitting on the auction block piecemeal, until the last moment when Peter Coeln, owner of the museum WestLicht, in conjunction with the Impossible Project acquire the collection. The collection will be on view this summer from June 17 to August 21 2011. www.westlicht.at

Surviving in the music business is an uphill climb for an independent label. Lasting for over 25 years is almost miraculous. But when you note their combination of solid leadership and strong stable of artists and catalog of releases, it is in fact little surprise that Sugar Hill is still around and releasing the same kinds of music that established the company in the first place.Created and owned by Barry Foss until it was acquired by Welk Music Group in the late '90s (Foss remains active with the label), Sugar Hill has built its reputation by nurturing the careers of mostly bluegrass artists, many of whom are still with the label. This boxed set includes four CDs covering different time periods between 1978 and 2003.Ricky Skaggs, Tim O'Brien, Nickel Creek, and dobro master Jerry Douglas are amongst the top names represented here, but there are also country artists whose work moves away from the mainstream, such as Robert Earl Keen, the late Townes Van Zandt, and storyteller Rodney Crowell. As explained on the bonus DVD, which contains a history of Sugar Hill as well as photos and music videos, these are artists who have a solid following. They may not sell enough units for a major label, but they sell enough for Sugar Hill.Other acts on the collection include slide guitarist Sonny Landreth, Jesse Winchester, and singer/songwriters Guy Clark and James McMurtry. Even Dolly Parton gets back to her bluegrass roots, along with guest appearances by Emmylou Harris. In fact, the consistency and high level of musicianship displayed by the label's artists has made many music fans and even competitors in the industry come to equate Sugar Hill with quality. The epitome of the label's achievement, Sugar Hill: A Retrospective is a bluegrass and alt-country musical feast.

When the moon is full,
And I've cried.
I'll take up your guts,
To the little she'd outside.
I'll shuck all the light from my skin,
And I'll hide it in you.
I'll pluck the long grass,
That grows from me,
And hide it in you.
(Chorus: You You You)
I'll pretend I'm blind in one eye,
And I'll hide it in you.
It's like your head is crumbled,
And hiding in you.
(Chorus: You You You)

Students Benefit from Summer Internships
Taylor Beard (pictured left), a Grand Lake government senior with a minor in mass communication, and Katelynn McCartney (pictured right), a Sulphur mass communication junior with a minor in government, are interns in U.S. Congressman Charles W. Boustany's Washington, D.C., office this summer.
During the five-week internship, Beard and McCartney are assisting with a variety of tasks including legislative research, attending Congressional hearings, assisting with press communications and interacting with constituents.
"Internships provide an opportunity for young people to learn about our government and the political process from the inside," said Boustany. "Many of Louisiana's best and brightest have worked for me for a summer or semester in our nation's Capitol and I greatly appreciate their efforts. Their assistance with research, writing, helping constituents and a variety of other functions is invaluable."
Beard is interested in Louisiana's educational system. "Being the first in my family to attend college, I want everyone to have the opportunities that I did," said Beard.
Through this internship, she hopes to gain insight into national and state education issues. Beard plans to attend law school following graduation in December 2013 and then maybe some day enter politics.
McCartney hopes to gain a better understanding of what government is truly about behind the scenes during her internship. After she graduates in 2014, McCartney plans to attend graduate school to study the philosophy of government. "I want to understand a little better about the thought processes of our founding fathers," she said.
Both women are involved at McNeese. Beard is a member of Phi Mu sorority, Pre-law and Politics and the Student Government Association, president of the Federalist Society and is the current Miss McNeese, while McCartney is a SGA senator, a member of the Society of Professional Journalists and the advocacy director for Colleges Against Cancer student chapter.
According to Mary Kaye Eason, McNeese's intern coordinator, "Internships benefit students by providing career-related experience prior to graduation while building a professional network and learning intangible skills which are impossible to teach in a classroom."
Another McNeese student - agricultural sciences major Leann Lucas of Rosepine - agrees with Eason. Last summer, Lucas completed an internship with the Vervet Monkey Foundation, located in Tzaneen, South Africa, that cares for over 500 primates that have been orphaned, injured, abused or are ex-laboratory animals.
"Taking an internship in South Africa proved to be one of the best experiences I have ever had," she stated.
Prior to returning to school, Lucas was a full-time flight attendant and has traveled throughout the world, but she always wanted to see South Africa. Then Lucas chose another career path - to study natural resources conservation management at McNeese while continuing part-time as a flight attendant.
"I decided to go back to school because I wanted to make a positive change in the world and promote, as well as educate people, about conservation management," she said. "I picked McNeese not only because it was close to where I am from, but also because it is a smaller university and I liked the idea of smaller class sizes. This proved to be a great decision because I get the individual attention that I need and feel that my professors actually do care about my education."
Encouragement to travel to South Africa came from one of her professors, who supported her decision to apply for an internship to the non-profit rehabilitation and education facility.
Lucas worked with integrating monkeys into troops at the facility. "These monkeys were either someone's pet or from a rescue center and had never been around monkeys before so it took them a while to get used to the hierarchy system that the Vervet monkeys use."
She credits her hands-on experience with animals at McNeese in preparing her for that part of her experience, "but nothing prepared me for the lessons on human impact, conservation and the areas of the globe that still live without electricity and a constant source of clean water and food."
This summer, instead of an internship, Lucas is taking two academic courses with the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium program, which teaches students about wetland vegetation and marine ecology. The program's laboratory is located in Chavin, which is about 85 miles southwest of New Orleans on the gulf coast, and she was recommended for the program by two of her professors.
"LUMCON offers field and lab work opportunities - whether through internships or academic credit - that provide students with a unique learning experience," said Lucas. She and her classmates - including students from Tulane University, Nicholls State University and the University of New Orleans - just went out on the 168-foot research vessel, the Pelican, to conduct a variety of oceanographic activities in the Gulf of Mexico.
Lucas hopes to return to South Africa one day to work with wildlife or continue her studies in graduate school after she graduates in 2014.
Eason said that 69 percent of companies with 100 or more employees offered full-time jobs to their interns in 2012, according to a new survey conducted by Internships.com. The survey polled more than 7,300 students and recent graduates, as well as over 300 human resources and recruitment professionals.
"The results show that internships truly have become the 'new interview' in the job search process for students and employers alike," Eason stated.

The month of September is notorious for being the absolute worst month for markets. According to a CNBC study cited by my colleague Dan Caplinger, since 1896, the Dow Jones Industrial Average
Source: CNBC, "Rough Road Ahead? September Is Dow's Worst Month."
While it's impossible to say whether the trend will continue this month, we're definitely headed in that direction. For the day, notably the first trading day of September, the Dow is down more than half a percent.
Today's declines are a function of two factors.
First, this morning, the Institute of Supply Management said its index of national factory activity -- a closely watched statistic -- fell to 49.6% in August. A reading below 50% indicates contraction. This marks the third consecutive month of declines and was the worst reading in over three years.
On the heels of this news, shares in material and industrial stocks such as Caterpillar
Second, uncertainty surrounding Europe is nearing a peak.
Over the weekend, it was reported that the Spanish government will inject billions of euros into recently nationalized lender Bankia after the company posted a 4.5 billion euro loss for the first half of the year.
This upcoming Thursday, moreover, the European Central Bank will meet to determine whether to step up its assistance to the continent's struggling economies. According to The Wall Street Journal, "Central bankers must decide whether to shed their past preference for guarded action and sweep to the rescue with a major bond-buying program."
Despite the bad news surrounding manufacturing activity and Europe, one ray of sunshine greeting investors today was a pair of upbeat reports from major American car manufacturers General Motors
Foolish final thoughts
Whether or not today is a harbinger of things to come for the rest of the month is anybody's guess. One thing's for certain, however: Whether the market is up or down on any particular day wouldn't concern you as much if your portfolio were grounded in any of the three stocks identified in our free report: "The 3 Dow Stocks Dividend Investors Need."

During the Second World War, the Canadian Army used the Rifle Section as its smallest organized formation of combat infantry soldiers. The organization was substantially similar to that of the Australian Army[1] and from 1944 the British Army used the same structure[2] with 3 sections to the platoon and three platoons to the Rifle Company.
The section was lead by a corporal[3] armed with a submachine gun (the Thompson Sub-machine gun at the beginning of the war and the Sten Gun starting to replace it from 1942[4] for the remainder), with the second in command being a lance-corporal who had the responsibility of positioning the two-man Bren light machine gun team (one man firing and the other loading.) The Bren team was responsible for the operation of the Light Machine Gun (LMG). During combat, this three man element would serve as a base of covering fire while the remainder of the section (7 privates armed with the No. 4 Lee Enfield Rifle[5] , and their corporal commanding) would flank the enemy in an effort to either capture or kill them.[6]
The corporal was responsible for carrying 5 magazines of sub-machine gun ammunition for either the Thompson Sub-machine gun (.45 ACP in 20 round magazines) or the same number of magazines for the Sten sub-machine gun (32 rounds of 9mm ammunition). He would also carry two grenades; the most common type being the No.36M (known as the "Mills Bomb"). The remaining privates would be armed with the 10 shot No.4 Mk I Lee Enfield bolt-action rifle and the accompanying spike bayonet. They would each carry fifty rounds of .303 ammunition in five round stripper clips as well as one Mills bomb.[7]
The Lance-corporal would have been armed similarly to that of the privates except he was also outfitted with a machete. This was used to create a vantage point for the LMG if there was a need for a position within a densely wooded area. In addition to carrying the standard fifty rounds of Enfield rifle ammunition, he would also carry four extra 30 round magazines for the Bren gun (which also used the .303 rifle cartridge). The Lance-corporal would have been the only one within the machine gun element to carry a Mills bomb; this would likely have been used in the event that his position was being overrun. The private responsible for firing the Bren was known as a "Number One" and was not required to carry a rifle as the Bren itself weighed a cumbersome twenty-two pounds.[8] He was required to carry 4 magazines of LMG ammunition, and the "Bren wallet" which was a small cleaning kit for his weapon. The one loading the LMG was known as the "Number Two" and was armed with an Enfield rifle and fifty rounds of ammunition. Due to his role alongside the Number One, he would also have to carry 4 Bren gun magazines and a case containing a spare barrel for the LMG and any extra parts that might be required (such as springs, screws etc…)[9]
While small in size, the section tactics of fire base with flanking was also employed on a larger scale with an example of two sections, one acting as a fire base while the other two flank a position.[10]

As childhood obesity rates continue to increase, experts agree that more information is needed about the implications of being overweight. Researchers believe this knowledge may represent a step toward reversing the current obesity trends.
A new study has found that overweight children, especially girls, show signs of the negative consequences of being overweight as early as kindergarten.
"We found that both boys and girls who were overweight from kindergarten through third grade displayed more depression, anxiety and loneliness than kids who were never overweight, and those negative feelings worsened over time," said Sara Gable, associate professor of human development and family studies in the College of Human Environmental Sciences at the University of Missouri.
"Overweight is widely considered a stigmatizing condition and overweight individuals are typically blamed for their situation. The experience of being stigmatized often leads to negative feelings, even in children."
MU researchers used the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K) to examine the social and behavioral development of 8,000 school-age children from kindergarten entry through third grade. The researchers evaluated factors that have not been studied previously: age at becoming overweight and length of time being overweight.
"Girls who were consistently overweight, from kindergarten through third grade, and girls who were approaching being overweight were viewed less favorably than girls who were never overweight," said Gable, an MU State Extension Specialist.
"Teachers reported that these girls had less positive social relations and displayed less self-control and more acting out than never-overweight girls."
The results indicate that larger than average children, especially girls, experience social and behavioral challenges before they reach the 95th percentile of the Body Mass Index and are classified as being overweight. More research is needed to develop alternative approaches for categorizing children's weight and creating effective intervention programs, Gable said.
"Most appearance-based social pressure likely originates in the eye of the beholder," Gable said.
"Therefore, intervention and prevention efforts should be designed for everyone. All kids should learn what constitutes a healthy weight and healthy lifestyle."
MU researchers will continue to use the ECLS-K to study the implications of being overweight for children's development.
The study, "Implications of Overweight Onset and Persistence for Social and Behavioral Development between Kindergarten Entry and Third Grade," was published in Applied Developmental Science, and was funded by the United States Department of Agriculture, Food Assistance and Nutrition Research Programs.

This one may seem too easy–whirling metal death wheels, sue happy society, why wouldn't these disappear? But come on now, we are talking about a country that landed a man on the moon, that perfected 30-minutes-or-it's-free pizza delivery, that invented the internet! There shouldn't be anything insurmountable! Especially not figuring out how to capture the joy of spinning until you puke while exploring the principles of momentum, all in a manner deemed at least as safe as a 20 foot tall slide perched over a smelly pile of pea gravel. What ideas do you have, can we bring back the fun, or is it good riddance? What ever happened to playground merry-go-rounds?

The shave is made using a kit from Lee Valley and the wood came from a pallet. After working with it I decided it was poplar. It's finished with three coats of tung oil.
You may notice that the lines are not exactly those of the traditional shave in the background. I wanted this shave to have an aggressive look, almost evil. Here's another shot of the front.
The shape is not just for looks though. Ergonomics played a big roll in determining the way the shave was shaped. If you look at the grip that I use you can see that my fingers fit naturally on the shave in a way that they can't on the traditional shave.
On the back side those walnut plugs cover up a couple of nail holes. They also add a sort of 'thumbs go here' target reference.
Finally, here is that brass strip I was posting about earlier.
Yeah, I overdid the polishing, but I did get a nice, reflective surface.

I know I've missed a few days, and I feel bad about that. I also feel bad that I've slipped up a bit in the last couple of days with my health and fitness goals. I know it's just a slip up, and not cause to give up... I just feel lousy about it.
Not making excuses, because I own my decisions, but I can recognize what I have stumbled over.
AF is due soon, and making her imminent arrival very apparent. I am grouchy (more so than usual), my lower back has been aching badly for days, and my feet and hands are full of retained water. As an aside, my PMS symptoms have gotten much more pronounced in recent months. Much more extreme than they used to be, and they have never been a cake walk. My poor, long-suffering Beloved.
I also have some unfun seasonal allergies going on. The trees along the river that give off the fluffy white pollen stuff have kicked into high gear and my sinuses are killing me.
As a result, I have avoided the scale for the last few days... about the only thing I have been doing right is getting my water in.
And I AM GOING TO GET UP EARLY AND WALK TOMORROW! I will!
100 Day Challenge - Day 9

Compromises and Finishes
I said in my last post that the kit hadn't included enough of the dark green DMC 935 and that I'd run out. Well, I couldn't find any pearl cotton at my LNS, and I didn't think ordering it internationally would be warranted for the missing green vine on the right, so I just substituted six strands of normal cotton DMC. What do you think?
I think it worked perfectly! You really can't see a difference. I know it's different, and I can only tell if I put it right up to my face. Anyway, I had a lot of fun with this kit! It's such a breeze to stitch up. Now to figure out how to finish it...
Many xxx's,

Energizer Resources Provides Update and Review of Significant Progress on Molo Project Development Milestones
May 6, 2014 (Source: Marketwired) — Energizer Resources Inc. (TSX:EGZ) (OTCQX:ENZR) (FRANKFURT:YE5) ("Energizer" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a summary of the milestones achieved over the past 18 months and the current status on its flagship Molo Graphite Project in Madagascar.
Feasibility Study in Progress
After completing a private placement on January 15th of this year, Energizer launched a Feasibility Study (FS) through its EPCM contractor, DRA, which is Africa's leading mine engineering and construction company. As part of this study the following work has been completed:
- Discussions with Madagascar-based contractors regarding fuel, logistics, equipment, civil engineering and earthworks.
- 29 infill diamond drill holes and 16 trenches to elevate a portion of Molo Graphite Project's Canadian National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 compliant indicated resource to measured status.
- 3-D variability test work drilling with 4 diamond drill holes.
- 9 geotechnical holes for quantification of rock mechanics.
- Detailed topographic surveying for pit shell modeling, civil works and hydrogeological analysis.
- Topsoil thickness survey over deposit (deposit found to be covered by a thin veneer of soil averaging a thickness of 0.8 metres).
- Hydrogeological test work over the deposit, including a resistivity survey and water sample analysis.
Richard Schler, Energizer's Chief Executive Officer stated, "We look forward to building on the substantial progress we have achieved over the past months in advancing our Molo Graphite Project, which included the completion of an operational pilot plant run as part of our Molo Feasibility Study. I believe this will be an exciting year for Energizer as we work towards achieving the important milestones of securing both mine financing and off-take agreements. Although we have been very active over the past few months pursuing these initiatives, they are tasks that do not easily lend themselves to providing regular news flow. With the recent positive developments in the global flake graphite market centering around lithium-ion batteries for electrical vehicles and large scale energy storage, I believe that conditions are ideal to support the rapid advancement of the Molo Graphite Project".
Feasibility Study Progress Builds Upon Milestone Accomplishments
- In November 2012, Energizer announced its NI 43-101 resources estimate with 9,246m of drilling, establishing the Molo as one of the largest known, all-flake graphite deposits in the world;
- 84.0Mt Indicated @ 6.36% carbon (C).
- 40.3Mt Inferred @ 6.29%C.
- On February 26, 2013, Energizer announced the positive results of a PEA study, indicating robust economics: $421 Million USD Pre-tax NPV discounted @ 10%; 48% Internal rate of return (IRR); 3-year payback; $162 Million USD Capital cost.
- On October 21, 2013, Energizer announced the signing of a Letter of Intent with Caterpillar Mining Finance regarding project financing loan arrangements for the Molo mine.
- On November 6, 2013, Energizer announced the results of GDMS analysis testing by SGS Canada Inc, the highest level of analytical testing possible, and confirmed that the Molo graphite concentrate can achieve an ultra-high purity of greater than 99.9%. The hydrometallurgical purification test used conventional leach technology.
- On November 20, 2013, Energizer announced the appointment of Robin Borley, B.Tech, Mining Engineering as a Board Director and Senior Vice President of Mine Development. Mr. Borley served previously as Mining Director for DRA.
- On January 15, 2014, Energizer announced that it had closed a private placement of 61,204,067 common share units at a price of $0.12 for gross proceeds of C$7,344,488
- On January 31, 2014, Energizer announced the robust results from the completion of a large scale pilot plant operation. Over 13 tonnes of Molo graphite concentrate was produced and results confirmed that a significant portion (43.5%) of the flake size distribution is classified as "large" and "jumbo-flake", 78.3% of Molo flake meets the minimum required size to produce battery-grade graphite and up to 97.7% purity can be achieved. through simple flotation alone. These pilot plant results were superior to those released in the Company's positive PEA study.
- On April 16, 2014, Energizer announced it finalized the purchase of the remaining 25% interest in the Molo Graphite Project from joint venture partner Malagasy Minerals Limited. This now gives the Company 100% ownership of the Molo Graphite Project area and a 100% interest to all of the industrial mineral rights within the acquired property, which totals 940 square kilometres (363 square miles).
Targeted Milestones

About Energizer Resources
Energizer Resources is a mineral exploration and mine development company based in Toronto, Canada, that is developing its 100%-owned, flagship Molo Graphite Project in southern Madagascar.
The Molo Graphite Project is one of the largest known crystalline flake graphite deposits in the world. The Molo Project hosts a NI 43-101 compliant indicated mineral resource of 84.04 million tonnes grading 6.36% carbon (Cg) and an inferred resource grading 6.29% Cg of crystalline flake graphite.
Energizer's total land package in southern Madagascar encompasses approximately 320 kilometers (198 miles) of continuous graphitic trends, where all graphite mineralization is immediately at surface. In addition to the Molo Graphite Project, Energizer has also identified through drilling, trenching and geological mapping at least six other zones that could be potential stand-alone graphite deposits.
Energizer has initiated a Full Feasibility Study, with results to be released to the market by Q4 2014. Results of the Company's recently completed pilot plant operation confirmed that 43.5% of the Molo deposit is classified as the premium-priced large and extra-large flake, with an average purity level in excess of 97% Cg achieved through standard flotation alone. The Company is targeting production in Q2/Q3 of 2016.

Safe Harbour: This press release may contain forward-looking statements that may involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results could differ materially from expectations and projections set out herein. The above resource estimates were calculated in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. For United States reporting purposes, Industry Guide 7 (under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as interpreted by the Staff of the SEC, applies different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. Among other things, the terms "measured", "indicated" and "inferred" mineral resources are required pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and mineral resource information contained herein is not comparable to similar information regarding mineral reserves disclosed in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. This mineral resource estimate includes inferred resources that are normally considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is also no certainty that the inferred mineral resource will be converted to the measured and indicated mineral resource categories through further drilling, or into a mineral reserve once economic considerations are applied.
U.S. investors should understand that "inferred" mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. In addition, investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the Company's mineral resources constitute or will be converted into reserves. Cautionary Statement: Neither TSX Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
