This article, entitled "Keeping Up with the Joneses," comes from Katie Kuenkel, MomsEveryday blogger from Western Wisconsin.
Have you ever heard the expression "keeping up with the Joneses?" In a nutshell, it basically means that you're trying to match the lifestyle of your neighbors…or trying to possess similar things or do similar activities as your neighbors in order to seem as 'good' as them. But did you ever in a million years think you'd feel that way as it relates to your KIDS?? Neither did I. And now, I'm starting to feel the pressure.
As my kids get older, they are starting to notice the differences in what kids their age have and do. Just recently, my daughter (who is ten), asked me, "Can I get an iPhone?" Ummmm….NO was my quick response…only to get the reply, "But my friends do!!"
Ahhh…here it comes already. The infamous "But my friends can" expression. I'm sure I'll hear THAT phrase a few more hundred times over the next few years. In not too long, it will be "how come my friends can stay out past midnight," or "how come my friends can stay home alone by themselves all day," or "how come my friends got a car for their sixteenth birthday?"
I could tell her a thousand times that I didn't get a cell phone until I was 22 with a full-time job, or that I still don't own an iPhone yet at age 36 or, "what on earth do you need a smartphone for when you're only 10 years old??!" But all she can see is that her friends get one…so why can't she…and that "it isn't fair."
Yep. Life isn't fair.
(I think every parent has told that to their child at least once!)
But it goes beyond the cell phones and the iPads and the iPods. My kids are starting to take notice of all the different activities their friends can be in and do, too.
I like to think of Eau Claire as the "City of Opportunity." There are soooo many different summer camps and activities that my kids can be a part of in this great community. And I am truly thankful for that. But sometimes, I think it's both a blessing and a curse at the same time.
How many of us moms have asked each other over a cup of coffee, "So, what are your kids signed up for this summer??" or "What do you have planned for this summer? Any vacations?"
Don't deny it, I think we're all secretly comparing our busy or not-so-busy schedules to each other's and hoping ours sounds more desirable.
And one of these days, I want to be able to happily exclaim, "NOTHING!" and feel completely content about that.
But no, of course, we are signed up for summer baseball, art camp, swimming lessons, nature camp, football camp, and the list goes on. Seriously? Will I even be able to sit down on my patio this summer with a cool glass of lemonade and my feet up??
When I was a kid, I think my siblings and I took a week of swimming lessons at the local beach and vacation bible school at our church. And that was it. The rest of the summer, we entertained ourselves with things like camp-outs in the backyard, swimming in the lake, and gathering the neighborhood kids for a game of kickball in the parking lot across the street. And we were happy. But there wasn't the option to sign up for so many camps and activities. There weren't any. So we never felt like we were missing out on anything. We never felt the pressure. And neither did our parents.
Do kids think they are "entitled" to be in summer camps because their friends are? Or do we parents feel pressure to sign them up because our friends' kids are? Are we trying to "keep up with the Joneses?" Sometimes I wonder…
It's too bad that our kids (and parents) feel this pressure to compete with their friends. I worry that we push and push our kids at such a young age because we don't want them to miss out on something that their friends are doing. We don't want them to "fall behind". But in doing so, are we making our kids more competitive with each other? Are we turning them into little beasts who feel a sense of entitlement to doing and having all of these opportunities? And do they even have FUN doing them? Or are they doing them because they HAVE to…not because they WANT to?
My dad was a high school boys varsity basketball coach. He said as the years went on, he was noticing more and more kids quitting basketball by the time they got to high school. They were getting sick of it. Burnt out. Done. Is it because they were pushed so hard when they were so young and it got to a point that it wasn't fun anymore? We parents may innocently think we're doing our kids a favor by starting them so early in a sport. We want them to keep up with their peers. We don't want them to fall behind. We want them to succeed. But success doesn't have to mean being the BEST (or even one of the best) at something. To me, success is not only seeing my son's face light up when he gets a base hit in baseball, but also seeing him hug and high-five a teammate who has just done the same. The whole team celebrates the accomplishment of one. And they are having FUN.
So, I guess what I'm trying to say with all of this, is that we parents need to stop feeling the pressure. Sometimes, we can do our kids (and ourselves!) a big favor by saying "no" instead of "yes." It's OK!! We need to stop feeling like we need to keep up with the Joneses. You need to do what YOU think is best for your child. It shouldn't matter what the Joneses are doing. Someday, the Joneses may have wished that they had taken after YOU. ;)

Dexter Community Schools switches to full-day kindergarten with half-day option
The Dexter Community Schools Board of Education voted in favor of moving to a district-wide all-day kindergarten program Monday night, according to a report in the Dexter Leader.
There will be an informational meeting for parents at 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 31 at Cornerstone Elementary School, 7480 Dan Hoey Road.
Superintendent Mary Marshall told AnnArbor.com she believes this switch is in the best interest of students and while the district's budget is tight, the all-day program is "important so we will have to make that an expense we accommodate for."
"We are very fortunate and have had some wise budgeting in the past few years, so we do have a fund balance — and some undesignated fund balance — for our district," she said, adding the undesignated funds total about $1.8 million right now.

Oh, and you can watch the Dexter Board of Education discussion (44:35) and vote (55:04) from Monday evening here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SlwuK9NSkA And the principal presentation requesting the change (0:00) from a few weeks earlier is also online. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KHjkRrujIU @dextermom Actually, the schools get money based on the time students are enrolled at school. A part-time student gets part-time funding. I know this because two of my daughters were part-time students in middle school and Mill Creek received funding for them only for the second half of the school day. They are back full-time now at Dexter High School and doing great.

More time at school doesn't necessarily translate into a better education. I agree that there are children who will benefit from a full day of instruction and parents for whom that is also a better fit, but it can be overkill for the child who has already mastered the simple kindergarten requirements--and might better spend his or her time in more open-ended activities. I'm glad that my children were able to go to half-day kindergarten and spend the rest of their time in more typical 5 year-old pursuits like helping me around the house and going on interesting outings. For them, that was time better spent. A good option for parents who still want a half-day kindergarten is to homeschool for core curriculum and take your child to school for the "specials": music, art, world cultures, etc. This works best with a child who is either on track with or ahead of grade level. This approach is supported by state law, and not that hard to arrange with the schools.
Wed, Dec 21, 2011 : 1 p.m.
Regarding finances, aren't we (the school district) paid the same amount by the state for a half day kindergartener as a whole day student, like a second grader or a whole day kindergartener? So, haven't we been using that money on non-kindergarten expenses and now we just have to give it back to the students for whom we get it?
Wed, Dec 21, 2011 : 3:46 a.m.
oooh, talk about making a social issue, will those other parents talk about those parents that choose to send their kids to kindegarten for a ---- day? Who is the star bellied Sneech now?

Statutory payments: Interested parties
When an employer is liable to pay a statutory payment there will be an employee with entitlement to receive it.
This means that in any dispute on liability or entitlement, there are always going to be two interested parties - the person liable to pay, usually the employer, and the employee.
The HMRC caseworker or decision maker should act as an impartial mediator between the employer and employee. In all cases, HMRC is required to apply the law fairly to both parties to determine the correct entitlement and liability.

Holly LaBerge claims Governor Nathan Deal's staff and lawyer pressured the State Ethics Commissions. You have to hand it to the Democrats. This has been a very well coordinated roll out of accusations against the Governor and much of the response from the Attorney General and the Governor's team has been muted due to legal ethics rules. The Attorney General, in particular, represented the State Ethics Commission and Holly LaBerge in her official capacity. So Sam Olens can't say much.
We now have some data pointing to just how coordinated the LaBerge complaints are. Her lawyers are holding a fundraiser for Jason Carter at their office. LaBerge is represented by A. Lee Parks and his law firm, Parks, Chesin & Walbert P.C., is holding a fundraiser for Jason Carter on Monday, July 28th.

Hakamairi - Bucket and Flowers
- Created
- 2014-08-16
- Description
- I thought that some people might want a more abstract representation of 'grave visiting' (hakamairi) done here in Japan. So I remixed my original image to just show the bucket (used to wash the grave) and the flowers, wrapped in paper, ready to be placed at the grave. I didn't include any incense though. Hope you can use it!

Summer Wines with our Wine Broad
Broadminded with Chiefwino, Andrew Stover Sommelier from OYA Restaurant, www.oyadc.com, SEI Restaurant, www.seirestaurant.com and the NEW SAX Restaurant & Lounge, www.saxwdc.com. Founder of Vino50 Selections, www.vino50.com and Chiefwino wine blog, www.chiefwino.com Summer Sips—Gimme the Acid! When the heat cranks up, it's time to cool off with a glass of refreshing white wine or chilled red. My preference is to turn to high acid whites from cooler grape growing regions of the world. These higher acid wines offer more "refreshment" than flabby, high alcohol wines from warmer growing regions, like California. Groooovy Gruner Veltliner from Austria Gruner Veltliner or Gruner is the main white grape grown in Austria and produces wines that some compare to Pinot Grigio. The hallmark difference is that Gruner has a spicy white pepper thing going on that I really enjoy. Gruner usually has more depth of flavor than inexpensive Pinot Grigio from Italy. Taste: Love Over Money Gruner Veltliner, Austria Find: http://boutiquewines.info/winery.php?id=93&country_id=4 SUMMER OF RIESLING! The word Riesling usually conjures up images of sickly, sticky and sweet white wines for many. Au Contraire Mon Fraire, not all Rieslings are sweet. Some of the best white wines for sipping on a hot summer day are the "dry" style of Riesling. We use the word dry in wine geek speak to denote the fact that the wine has no residual sugar. Look for wines that have the word "dry" on the label or "trocken" if a german wine. Also many Riesling producers are now using the International Riesling Foundation's sweetness scale that shows a range of sweetness levels on the label and where the particular wine in question ranks. Look for Rieslings from Finger Lakes, New York; Northern Michigan; Oregon; Washington; Alsace, France and even New Zealand. Plus if you ARE a Riesling fan, you are in luck. Summer of Riesling 2012 is in full effect across the USA at many restaurants, wine bars and wine shops. Visit the website, www.summerofriesling.com or @summerriesling on twitter to find out where. Taste: Chateau Grand Traverse 'Whole Cluster' Riesling, Old Mission Peninsula, Michigan Find: http://www.cgtwines.com DRY ROSE Stop thinking that pink wines are sweet. If the wine is pink and doesn't have the words "blush" or "white zin" on the label, chances are the wine is "dry" and perfectly suited to your palate. When in doubt, of course inquire. American's have this affinity to see pink wine and instantly assume the wine is sweet. This is sad given that the category of rose wine is another ultimate summer sip and also pairs amazingly well with the flavors of summer. Look for rose wines from France, Italy, Spain, Argentina and various regions across the USA. Taste: YinYang Pinot Grigio Rose, Willamette Valley, Oregon Find: http://amityvineyards.com/ Tip: Its not listed on their website, so inquire within. It's a special wine ;) LIGHT BODIED REDS—CHILLED! Sometimes the task at hand calls for a red wine, especially for those who simply refuse to drink white. Have no fear, Stover is here! A light and juicy red is absolutely find to enjoy on a hot summer day, especially if you are grilling burgers or enjoying barbecue. Ask your local shop for a really light red with low tannins, preferably something that can take a good chill. Good examples include Pinot Noir, Barbera from Italy, Dolcetto from Italy, Cotes du Rhone Red Blends from France and even lighter Zinfandels from California. Chill down approximately 20-30 minutes before serving. If you find the wine too cold, know it WILL warm up.

Florida State Preview and Prediction
Bobby Bowden enters his 34th season as Florida State's head coach looking for a rise back to the top of the ACC standings. FSU has the talent returning on offense to make a run, but questions abound on defense where coordinator Mickey Andrews has announced this season will be his last. To get a better look at the Seminoles, I talked with Chris Whitmore a Featured Columnist for FSU on Bleacher Report.
Is this Bobby's last year in Tallahassee?
Recently, Coach Bowden said he wants to win another national championship. He has two seasons to do that or FSU will have to pay Jimbo Fisher $5 million if he is not named the head coach after the 2010 season. Bobby wants to end his career on a good note. I believe this will not be his last season.
Is Christian Ponder ready to become an All-ACC QB this year?
Ponder just came off of a scrimmage where he went 15-20 for 287 yards and four touchdowns. The offensive line will be even better than last year where Ponder had to use his legs to make plays. This year, look for Ponder to stay in the pocket and make more plays through the air. Jimbo Fisher said in an interview earlier this summer that he is seeing a confidence in Ponder he did not see last year.
The passing game has no place to go but up since Ponder went for an 8-13 touchdown to interception ratio against FBS teams in 2008.
Who steps up as the go to receiver with Greg Carr and Preston Parker gone?
Taiwan Easterling, Bert Reed and Jarmon Fortson look to be the go-to receivers for 2009. Fortson had a big game in the Aug. 15 scrimmage with three catches for 106 yards. Easterling is coming off an Achilles's heel surgery during the spring and reports from summer and preseason practices show he has fully recovered.
With the offensive line being more structured, Jimbo Fisher wants to open up the passing game to include tight end Caz Piurowski. Piurowski had a touchdown catch in FSU's 42-13 win over Wisconsin in the 2008 Champs Sports Bowl. He has dropped some weight during the offseason and should factor into the passing game Fisher wants to focus on during this season.
With 89 career starts back on the offensive line and three straight years of improved rush numbers, how close is this line to being like the dominant FSU o-lines of the past?
2009 seems have optimism for the running game that looks to translate well to the field. Although no starters return for running backs, Jermaine Thomas averaged seven yards per carry last year as a freshman and only lost 10 yards total during the entire season. With backups Ty Jones and Tavares Pressley, FSU looks to have a balanced rushing game this season.
Jimbo Fisher made a comment during the summer where he wouldn't mind having three running backs who have 800 yards this season, he looks to use the trio during the season. The rushing game of FSU's offense seems to be the aspect with the most optimism.
Will the defensive line improve on their 133 ypg allowed on the ground, FSU's worst total since 1995?
This is hard to tell. New starters on both defensive ends, Markus White and Kevin McNeil, have yet to show what they are capable of yet. White showed flashes last year but never lived up to his JUCO Player of the Year title. Highly touted recruit Jaccobi McDaniel looks to gain experience this year at defensive tackle.
Defensive tackle Budd Thacker has underwhelmed during most of his time but optimism is there for him to have a big senior year with him and Mose McCray lining up in the tackle spots. This also will be defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews final season and he will want to go out on a top-notch defense.
Will we see a drop off in pass defense with the loss of sack master Everette Brown and two starters in the secondary?
If Jamie Robinson plays this upcoming season at safety like he is playing in this preseason where he has seven interceptions, the secondary should be better. Cornerback Patrick Robinson hopes to shine like he did in 2007 when he had seven interceptions. Markus White hopes to take over what Everette Brown started last year on the defensive end. White had six total tackles, four unassisted, one tackle for loss, and a sack in the scrimmage on Saturday.
Linebacker Nigel Bradham wants to live up to his five-star rating coming out of high school and played sporadically in 2007 but never had the time to show his potential. Now that he has a starting linebacker position and is being cross-trained at other linebacker positions, this season could show if he is worth a five-star rating.
Who are the freshman who could make a significant impact this year?
Dustin Hopkins looks to take over kicking duties after 2008 Lou Groza winner Graham Gano. Hopkins was rated the number one kicker coming out of high school in 2008. Greg Reid has been practicing at returning kickoffs and could see playing time as a defensive back. As mentioned earlier, Jaccobi McDaniel should make an impact at the defensive tackle position.
The Seminoles open the season with Miami. Is this a make or break game for a good season in the eyes of FSU fans?
The last two years the Miami/FSU games have been completely unpredictable. I believe many fans know rivalry games can always go either way and the optimism for this season will not stop with whether the Noles win or lose against Miami. I think the real test for FSU will be the Sept. 19th game at BYU followed by the Sept. 26th game in Tallahassee against USF. Those two games could set the tone for the entire season.
FSU had the upper hand on Florida for most of the 90s but has lost five straight. What will it take for the Seminoles to get back on top of this rivalry?
Confidence. The last two years, the UF game has always been written off as a loss. Many FSU fans are already writing off the 2009 game in Gainesville as a loss with it being Tim Tebow's final game at The Swamp so they know the Gators will be playing with higher energy for this game. If Mickey Andrews does retire after the 2009 season, many FSU fans will hope the new defensive coordinator can find a way to stop the speed of UF.
What is your prediction for FSU this year?
I predict a 9-3 regular season with a trip to the ACC Championship Game. The ACC looks to be even more competitive this season after 10 ACC teams went bowling last season. I think FSU is going to have competition from Clemson and Wake Forest for the Atlantic Division title.
My Thoughts on Florida State...
Mickey Andrews announcing this is his last year make me very skeptical that Bobby is seriously considering it too. This is his best chance in a few years to win the ACC, but he must get passed a rugged Atlantic Division. Christian Ponder started to develop under Jimbo Fisher and I look for improvement this year. The offensive line finally has some continuity after years of injuries and attrition. Also, FSU has one of the best line coaches in the nation in Rick Trickett. I would not be worried about receivers as the 'Noles always have athletes waiting in the wings.
Defensively, the Seminoles have some big holes to fill with the departure of sack master Everette Brown and three starters in the secondary. It is time for some of the top recruits to step for Andrews. The dreaded position in Tallahassee, kicker, has a freshman possibly. I think Florida State battles all year with Clemson and NC State for the Atlantic Division. They catch a break with some of their tougher ACC games at home (Ga Tech, Miami, NC State). FSU steps out of conference for three really tough games at BYU, at Florida, and home against South Florida.
My Prediction...
8-4, 5-3, Atlantic Division Title
Best Case Scenario: 9-3
Worst Case Scenario: 7-5
Vegas Odds:
BCS Championship 35/1
ACC Championship 4/1 (tied second)
Win Total 7.5
Thanks again to Chris for his insight into FSU. You can check out his work on Bleacher Report.
What are you thoughts on Florida State? Is this Bobby's last year? Can they win another ACC Championship?

Pandey family heads for a picnic…Bihaan to face a lot of resentment watching Kabir and Vaani getting closer..
We earlier reported about how Bihaan gets drunk when Kabir proposes to Vaani in Thapki…Pyaar Ki on Colors!
Now, the show will take the jealousy drama a notch ahead with the Pandey family planning a picnic. The resentment will be clearly visibly when Bihaan will hold the car door open for Vaani but she will choose to sit in the backseat. Kabir too will follow her company making way for another family member in the front seat.
Now this is drastically going to affect Bihaan. But what's going on between Vaani and Kabir?
A source informs, "Vaani and Kabir are just friends for now. Vaani is taking help of Kabir in order to take revenge from Bihaan and the former is very supportive of Vaani's motives."

Events | August | September | October |
Labor Day | Columbus Day Regatta
With our beautiful bay calling and the fantastic warm temperatures year-round, it is no surprise that some of the most popular things to do in Miami revolve around water... boating, fishing, diving, snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking...
So needless to say, water rats will be in their element... But so will our...
So read on... Here are some ideas on what to do, how, when, where, how much... to get you started!
In one word, FANTASTIC! Lots of splashing, dolphin kisses, flip high fives, water fights... and a wonderful learning experience for the entire family.
There are quite a number of places in Miami or nearby that offer all kinds of programs with differing degrees of interaction, from
simply playing and observing from the docks where you don't even have to get wet, to free unstructured swims, or full-day
research programs, there is something to suit everyone and everyone's budget.
There is an underwater paradise waiting at our doorstep... So strap on your mask and snorkel and head out to the reefs! The reefs? Can we just go off the beach? Truth is, although you can snorkel off any of our beaches, if what you have in mind is crystal clear waters, colorful tropical fish and vibrant corals in abundance, then heading out to the reefs is a must.
The third largest coral reef in the world lines our coastline, about 3 to 8 miles offshore, so no, you CAN NOT swim to it, you have to go by boat, we explore some of the most popular options.
As far as snorkeling off the beaches, while not spectacular, there is still plenty to see. We also share with you some of our favorite places and what
you can expect.
A Biscayne Bay Cruise is an excellent way to enjoy some of the most spectacular views Miami has to offer.
Since the city is blessed with fabulous weather year-round, enjoying the sights from the water on a tropical
sunny day is always a pleasant way specially for first-timers to discover our beautiful coastline and experience the pulse of the city.
Zipping around these noisy vehicles through the vast wilderness of the Everglades is a fun adventure for everyone and a great way to explore and enjoy the wildlife that this area is loved for.
Alligators, turtles, all sorts of wading birds... and wonderful panoramic views of the marshes and hammocks at our beautiful "River of Grass".
Best time is during the "dry season" from November to March, when animals concentrate in the wetlands and are easier to spot and migrating birds are back.
This has to be one of the funnest ways to sightsee. There are many tours that take you through the heart of the Art Deco District in South Beach, along South Pointe, the Miami Riverwalk... or simply rent a segway at one of the many outlets throughout the city and explore on your own!
New to Segwaying? (is that a verb?) No worries, friendly guides provide all the instruction and equipment for you to
ramble through the popular spots safely and with confidence and make sure everyone has a good time.
Exploring our magnificent reefs is one of our favorite things to do in Miami. Although the Florida Keys get most of the attention, you should also consider going north towards Broward and Palm Beach counties where the diving is also spectacular and the driving distance about the same.
Scuba Diving and marine life is one of our passions, whether off a beautiful reef or shore diving off the beach, a new place or a beloved favorite, we don't miss a chance to get
in the water... We will be happy to share all we find with you, our favorite dive sites, operators, shore dives, etc.
Easy gliding and enjoying nature and fantastic views of the bay... this is a great way to spend a few hours outdoors any time of the year.
We are surrounded by water so paddleboarding is a great way to explore a bit of the area. Rentals abound in Miami and its surroundings, outfits offer
guided tours and instruction so getting out there on a board is easy even for first-timers (We were first-timers not long ago, so we have some tips here for you!)
Kayaking is a fun activity and a great way to soak in some nature, exploring our surrounding natural habitats where the native vegetation and wildlife abound.
There are many places around Miami with plenty of opportunities for paddling. The mangrove-lined creeks, the canals and
inlets that offer more protected waters, and our state and national parks with excellent
facilities and equipment on offer.
The newest craze in watersports, we gave Flyboarding a try and what a blast!
With the right instruction, (which we had and we tell you all about it) you can be up and flying in no time and it's a feeling like no other...
There are a few places in Miami where flyboarding is available as well as many operators that will come to you, just agree on a time
and place, the ultimate in convenience, reservations are of course a must.
Need more to see and do? Here are some quicklinks to some of Miami's most popular attractions, check them out!

Actor Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee, CBE, CStJ, (May 27, 1922) became best known for his role as Count Dracula in a string of Hammer Horror films; other notable roles include Lord Summerisle in the British horror film The Wicker Man (1973), Francisco Scaramanga in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun (1974), Saruman in The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit film trilogies, and Count Dooku in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. He was knighted for services to drama and charity in 2009, received the BAFTA Fellowship in 2011 and the BFI Fellowship in 2013. He was honoured with the Spirit of Metal award in the 2010 Metal Hammer Golden God awards ceremony.
To be honest the most recent single, and last year's Heavy Metal Christmas Too aren't that bad. However the first release (Heavy Metal Christmas) is diabolically awful, and I feel fully justified in bringing you this huge Christmas turkey today.
The two songs – Little Drummer Boy and Silent Night – are staggeringly bad: Lee, 90 at the time of recording, sings the carols in a fairly straight, if bombastic, manner but the musical accompaniment slathered over the top is ridiculous and more often than not completely out of time. It makes for painful listening.
More to come; but for now, enjoy!

Having spent the past few seasons banging on about the importance of Championship Survival Day – the point at which our continued participation in English football's second tier was assured – it's only fair that I inaugurate what I trust will be a long-standing tradition and celebrate last Saturday, April 16th, as Premier League Survival Day.
I know that, mathematically, we're not guaranteed Premier League football next season. But passing the 40-point barrier has equated to safety in the vast majority of PL seasons, and quite frankly, I can't see Norwich, Sunderland and Newcastle collectively stirring themselves to get anywhere close to giving us sleepless nights.
No, we're safe, and that's cause for celebration. As we've learned twice before, the euphoria of promotion can quickly dissipate and the following season turn into a dispiriting procession of defeats. Not this year, though, and for that we must give huge credit to all involved with the club. Yes, the league performances haven't been great since the turn of the year, but this could still turn out to be one of the greatest seasons in Watford's history.

A good tradition

Emergence 1999
Lake Leanyer, Darwin
A cross cultural co-production with Corrugated Iron Youth Theatre project depicting the cultural and scientific relationships between the dragonfly and the environment. Cultures involved were Papua New Guinea, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. Performance May 1
Tracks artists David McMicken and Tim Newth were engaged as creative consultants to work across the three sections. David worked across the choreography and with choreographers and cultural leaders Paia Ingram and Tau Ingram. The Grey Panthers senior women's dance group was also utilised in the Laurabada section. Tim focused on the design
Section One - Laurabada
- Laurabada: The wind that brings the dragonflies (traditional dance).
- Wind Dance - contemporary dance.
- 0 Lau Lua na ta (traditional fishing dance).
- Fishing Dance: catch small bait fish (Urea).
- Selile: Traditional yam harvesting dance, celebrating a good harvest.
- Dragonfly dance: celebrating the arrival of the dry season.
- Celebrating the messenger, the Dragonfly.
The old people, seeing the swarms of dragonflies, say that it will be a rich year, with plenty of yarns, bananas and other crops. There will be plenty of other fish for eating. So the dragonflies are a sign of bounteous harvests, with plenty of food. The old people build a 'Dubu, a yam platform, and there will be singing and dancing ceremonies to celebrate the good harvest. The dragonfly is a sign of good times and good harvests. The wings of the cane dragonfly installation have been woven in patterns, showing the shapes of the fish bones of the fish that are caught at this time of year, they are: Lalata, Udalaru and Gorere.
Section Two - A Sign of Change
Depicting Indigenous Aboriginal Lifestyle and the dragonfly.
The performers developed a strong understanding of indigenous culture through the process of attending a three-day camp at Daly River. The children learnt about weaving, gathering, fishing, and how the community lives on their land. They also presented contemporary interpretations and dance found through the imitation of the dragonfly
Section Three - Growth, Change & Emergence
A contemporary performance based on the scientific understanding of the dragonfly's life cycle. To create this section young people were engaged in a series of workshops in kite, mask, and puppet making. Dance Sequences were also created to signify the changes in the cycle leading to the emergence of the dragonfly.

TV viewing up despite rise of social media
Ofcom research shows U.K. TV viewing up 3% in 5 yearsLONDON -- Television viewing is booming despite an assault on people's senses by the growing popularity of social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
Research published Thursday by media regulator Ofcom indicates that the U.K. remains a nation of goggle-eyes with viewers tuning in for an average of three hours and 45 minutes of television a day in 2009, 3% more than in 2004.
Ofcom's report says the uptick in small screen popularity comes on the back of the availability of digital video recorders (DVRs) and the advent of high definition television, now found in north of five million homes here.
Digital television passed the 90% threshold for the first time last year, with 92.1% of homes having digital TV by the first quarter of 2010. The average weekly reach of multichannel television exceeded that of the five main TV channels -- BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4 and Channel 5 -- also for the first time in 2009.
But despite the fact people love to watch, it wasn't all good news for the industry.
TV industry revenues fell slightly last year from 2008, hitting £1.1 billion ($1.7 billion) in 2009 as growth in pay TV subscription revenue failed to offset falling television advertising revenues.
The Ofcom report said the 0.4% year-on-year contraction is the first time the TV industry has shrunk since the regulator began reporting "on the size of the television market, as broadcasters contended with the impact of an economic downturn."
Net advertising revenue (NAR) was the worst hit of all revenue streams, down by £335 million ($524 million) in 2009 to £3.1 billion ($4.8 billion).
Good news for pay TV operators though. Revenues appeared comparatively unaffected throughout the last year. The pay TV sector posted a £319 million ($498 million) uptick in revenues in 2009 to £4.6 billion ($7.2 billion).
And that came in spite of the closure of Setanta Sports in June 2009, which paved the way for ESPN to launch a new premium sports subscription channel two months later. Ofcom noted that Setanta's shutdown and the off button for its bouquet of U.K. channels contributed to the first ever annual fall in the number of channels in Blighty, down from 495 at the end of 2008 to 490 in 2009.
The suggestion is that the fall in channel numbers indicates the multichannel market is reaching saturation point in the U.K.
Ofcom estimates that the amount of the BBC's revenue allocated to TV, the third biggest component of TV industry revenue, grew marginally in 2009, up by £41 million ($64 million) to £2.7 billion ($4.2 billion).

Columbus beaten by Vedic Sailors
Negationists announce New Discovery :
Vedic Sailors reached America before Columbus !The discoveries made by Hindutvadin scholars have come in an astonishing rate, which has startled the world. First was the `discovery' that the Indus Valley was not destroyed by Aryans and that there was no Sudra Holocaust. Then came the hypothesis that the Indus Valley itself was Vedic. Now comes another new discovery, namely that, not only did these Vedic geniuses build Harappa, but that they sailed to America centuries before Columbus !
3rd Dec. 2001
Hindus 'beat Columbus to America'An Indian poltical group claims Christopher Columbus was beaten to America by Hindu explorers.
The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), or National Self-Reliance Society, also claims Indians invented chess, wireless technology and dams.
Hindus also discovered the law of gravity long before Sir Isaac Newton, the society claims.
The RSS detail great Indian achievements in a pamphlet titled We're Proud To Be Hindus which the group is handing out in the run-up to local elections.
The society claims that art found in Aztec temples proves that Hindus lived in Mexico long before Columbus reached the Americas in 1492.
They also dismiss claims that chess originated in Persia and say the game is Indian, and that the wireless was not invented by Marconi but by Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose.
Dam technology was pioneered in Saurashtra - now Gujarat - where rivers were diverted to form lakes.
Opponents, particularly Muslim and Christian groups, have dismissed the RSS as extremists, the Daily Star reports.
Deccan Herald , Monday, January 1, 2001 (http://www.deccanherald.com)
RSS challenges general knowledgeNew Delhi, Dec 31 (UNI) Didn't you always believe that Newton discovered the force of gravity, Columbus discoverd America and the famous Pythagoras theorem was formulated by Pythagoras? You are in the wrong if you do so, according to a booklet distributed by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) during its recent nationwide awareness campaign.
The booklet entitled Garv Se Kaho Hum Hindu Hain (Say with pride we are Hindus) claims that Indian astronomers Aryabhatta and Bhaskaracharya, who existed 1,000 and 500 years before Newton, were quite familiar with the gravitational force.
Similarly, before Christopher Columbus reached America, Indians had already landed there, the booklet says, adding that the specimen of Indian art found in the temples of Aztecs are ample proof in this regard.
The RSS gives credit to Bodhayan for defining in the sixth century the geometrical principle which was later presented to the world by Greek philosopher Pythagoras and known as Pythagoras Theorem.
The oufit also discounts the story of discovery of electrical force by Benzamin Franklin, saying electricity, magnetism, sound and ether were all well defined in the Vedic times. Even the concept of nuclear fusion was known in those times, it says.
The booklet also claims that the Hindus invented the number system as well as the decimal system, besides giving the world the concept of shunya (zero). Though Aryabhatta used shunya in the sixth century, the concept was known thousands of years before him in pre-Vedic times, it adds.
In the field of medical science too, it speaks of astounding achievements made by the Hindus in ancient times. Sushrut, who existed 2600 years ago, is said to be the pioneer of surgery. He is credited with surgical operations such as cataract, caesarean delivery and even organ transplant.
The ancient Hindu scriptures also provide deep knowledge of genetics, which is considered a modern science the world over, the booklet says.
According to the RSS, the naval transport system also started in the Indus river for the first time in the world some 6,000 years ago. The words navy and navigation were derived from the Sanskrit words nau and navgati carrying similar meanings, it says.
In irrigation technology, the first dam-based water reservoir in the world was built in Saurashtra region of Gujarat, it claims, adding that a beautiful artificial lake, named Sudarshan, was also constructed on the Raivatak hill in the times of Chandragupta Maurya.

Opera slashes power usage with new server parks
Opera to change out Opera Mini servers and reduce carbon footprint
Oslo, Norway - June 24, 2010
With the transition to a new generation of servers, Opera Software expects to increase performance by one third, while slashing power consumption by more than 35 percent.
Following the unveiling of a new Icelandic data center, with far less energy waste and more environmentally-friendly power, Opera now reduces power usage even further. By exchanging the current data server parks providing the Opera Mini and Opera Turbo services for more than 120 million active Opera users worldwide, Opera seeks to reduce environmental strains and ease management of the server parks.
With six server parks located all over the world, management of machines and software can now be centralized for easier access to maintenance. Opera has chosen Dell to deliver the hardware solutions for every data center it operates. In addition to the newly opened Icelandic data center, Opera runs data centers in Norway, Poland, Korea, China and the United States. By standardizing on one hardware supplier for server hardware, Opera expects to save on human resources and utility expenses.
At Opera, Rikard Gillemyr EVP of Engineering looks forward to offering the 120 million Opera users the best in hardware. "Users of Opera browsers expect the world's fastest browsing experience across devices, platforms or operating systems. In order to continue to successfully deliver this level of service, we rely on our IT infrastructure to support our business by providing top performance and reliability."
Co-founder Jon von Tetzchner emphasizes the importance of respecting the environment while offering the best possible solutions to the end users: "Opera Mini is the world's largest mobile browser and growing rapidly. To keep up with growth while maintaining a low overhead on resources, having the optimal configuration of hardware is essential."
"Opera is poised for tremendous growth over the coming years, and working with Opera demonstrates Dell's ability to deliver open, capable and affordable solutions in support of our customer's business objectives." says Stephen Murdoch, VP & GM of Large Enterprise, EMEA, Dell.

Recently, several folks gave me for a "Stylish Blogger Award." I've had some trouble figuring out what this is exactly. Apparently there are four things that one must do when receiving such an award. They are:
- Make a post & link back to the person who awarded you this award.
- Share 7 things about yourself.
- Award 10 recently discovered great bloggers.
- Contact these bloggers and tell them they've won!
1. Thank you, Dick at Captain Richard's Miniature Civil War, Giles at Tarleton's Quarter, and Neil at Toy Soldiers and Dining Room Battles for thinking of me. Truly I'm flattered.
2. Seven things about me:
- I'm married and have two daughters. They mean the world to me.
- "AD" is my initials (first name is Adam); I'm 37.
- I moved to North Dakota in 2003. I hoped to find work on the East Coast because I'm so interested in the history of that area, but North Dakota is where I ended up. I don't regret it – it's a nice part of the country and I've met some great people here.
- I got hooked on the Revolutionary War at a relatively young age. It had something to do with family vacations to historic sites + annual visits near my hometown of a Revolutionary War reenactor group (NWTA) + a general tendency towards nerdiness.
- I'm interested in other historical periods, too. The American Civil War is my second favorite period. I'm frankly in awe of how much excellent, scholarly work there has been on this subject and the size and quality of the Civil War-themed blogosphere.
- I also very loosely follow science blogging. Really, there aren't enough hours in the day to keep up on everything that's interesting and worth reading about, but maybe once every couple months I'll stop by websites like Tetrapod Zoology to get a sense of what's new.
- The first miniature I owned was a painted figurine depicting an officer in the 1st Texas Regiment (Civil War, 54mm), which I purchased in Gettysburg in the mid-80s. I liked to imagine him bravely leading his men up the slopes of Little Round Top. It's been downhill for me ever since. :)
3 & 4. Other blogs:
I don't know if I have recently discovered 10 great blogs. To be sure, there are a lot of great new blogs, but mostly I've been keeping up with ones that have been around for awhile. Therefore, I'm going to bend the rules here and simply say a few words about some very nice blogs (some of which have also received a "stylish blogger award"). Apologies for omitting from this brief list some excellent sites. I recommend all those I have linked on the right-hand side of the page.
Tarleton's Quarter – Giles is a master painter with a good grasp of history. He takes impeccable pictures that really show off the details of his miniatures and his writing is clean, concise, and entertaining. His blog is what chiefly inspired me to start one of my own.
Boston 1775 – An outstanding blog. J. L. Bell focuses on one specific theme, and yet he has averaged more than one post a day over the past few years, and he shows no signs of exhausting his subject matter. How does he do this? His posts are well researched and well written.
Bunker Hill – Christopher is a masterful painter, and I enjoy seeing his latest creations.
Captain Richard's Miniature Civil War – Prolific and terrifically inventive, Dick creates realistic towns and landscapes for his miniatures, filled with charming details.
Conquering the Lead Mountain – A website with a great sense of style. Sire Godefroy is a standout painter.
Der Alte Fritz Journal – An elegant website. I greatly admire Der Alte Fritz's painterly abilities.
Past in the Present – Michael keeps readers abreast of the many fascinating ways the past and present intersect, giving special attention to the Civil War and Revolutionary War. His blog is a joy to read -- brilliant and incisive.
Steve's Paintingshed – I admire his blog for much the same reason that I think so highly of Tarleton's Quarter. Steve is a master painter and he takes great pictures of his work. I really like how he infuses such personality into his 28mm-high figures. Also puts on great looking wargames.
Toy Soldiers Forever – Mannie's writing is warm and engaging, and he has a great sense of humor. Love the "toy soldiers are awesome!" enthusiasm he brings to his posts. Occasionally he makes videos, which are terrific.
1775 – Derek's blog is an outgrowth of a book by the same name that is in the works (and which I look forward to reading). He shares fascinating findings he's made about a pivotal year in American history.

Not in two hours. Not in ten minutes. But now.
Having a business continuity plan or disaster recovery plan on a shelf won't help much if your staff don't know what to do when disaster strikes.
Whether it's a flood, earthquake, gas leak, or armed intruder,
your staff need to know what to do now.
The detailed procedures can come later.
Plan424 ("plan for 24 hours") gives your staff instant access to the information they need on their smartphones. It tells them what to do, where to go, and who to contact.
With pre-written procedures for many common incidents which you can customize to fit your needs, Plan424 helps make sure your staff are fully prepared when an incident occurs.

Hey family,
General Conference was awesome. I learn a lot about my purpose as a missionary and what my purpose will be after mission life. I loved the talk of Elder Holland and the love that he showed for the restored gospel and the Book of Mormon. An example for me as a missionary, as there are many people that don't have respect for the Book of Mormon and its teachings. Last as I read the Book of Mormon after Conference and I could feel the power that it has for me and the message that brings to my soul. I wish that others would read and ponder the teachings founded in the Book of Mormon. Granit, I too need to improve with and my study of The Book of Mormon and the Bible. That´s the purpose of General Conference is the reminder of the little things that we are not doing in our lives, or at least for me and my life.
I love the gospel.
Elder Spencer

Philosophy tackles the big questions and there's no bigger discussion to be had than whether or not God exists. This is a tough question and many philosophers, and perhaps everyone on the planet, has pondered over whether or not there's a big man hiding about in the clouds and looking down on us. Furthermore, questions regarding omniscience, nature, motives and power all branch from the single question of whether or not God exists, but I doubt we'll be able to provide that question with an answer in this blog post - there's no harm in seeing what some of the great philosophers have to say on the subject though!
Let's kick off with the father of all philosophical teachings, Aristotle. Aristotle had an idea about God, upon looking at the world he realised that everything was transient. What this means is that everything around us, including ourselves, is constantly changing and is impermanent, from the stars and planets to the hairs on our head, everything is in a constant state of flux. However, all change is eternal, there is no evident beginning or end as time is infinite, this means that there can never have been a first change, because the first cause of change must have been set off by a chain reaction itself.
Okay, so this is starting to get a little complex, let's break it down. Imagine an infinite line of dominoes, no end and no beginning. The dominoes represent life and as they fall they cause the one in front to fall also, creating a chain reaction that allows the continuous and eternal flow of falling dominoes. However, the dominoes need to have been pushed to fall in the first place. The problem is that whatever was to push the dominoes would have had to have had a reason to push the first domino, meaning that the cause would have had to have been caused in the first place. Aristotle believed that this was not possible, that life was not an eternal chain reaction of events, and there must therefore be something he called a 'Prime Mover'.
As there is not a constant chain of cause and effect, Aristotle surmised that everything is being acted upon in order for it to be constantly changing, but without changing itself. The only way that this was possible was there to be a Prime Mover, something that was not made of matter, as matter can be acted upon, and something that was already all it could be, thus having no potential to change. The Prime Mover is something that causes all change/movement. The Prime Mover must have been the first and eternal substance that exists perennially in order for it to be the cause of all change, but at the same time it cannot have acted upon anything, which means the Prime Mover causes change by attracting everything to itself.
Think about a bowl of milk, confined in a permeable glass box which allows cats to smell the liquid. The bowl of milk does not change, but cats can see it and are drawn towards it, the bowl having caused the cats to want to drink it. The Prime Mover is like a bowl of milk, although it's not made of matter, so the reason behind its attraction is a desire to imitate the Prime Mover, causing everything to move or change. Aristotle called the Prime Mover, God.
So what does this mean exactly? Did God create human beings in order to want to imitate him? No, not exactly. In order for God to exist eternally without changing, God cannot know anything but itself, therefore it would have to be perfectly unaware of all change, because this would cause God to change. Therefore, God has no will and is not to be confused with any religious deity, 'God' is just a word to describe the indescribable, but at the same time, Aristotle argued that God had to exist as a motivator for existence, causing things to change and exist materially.
This doesn't answer any questions, but it does give us a different perception of God. My take on Aristotle's theory is that God is a force, not a being or anything material, Aristotle thought that God had to exist as a force of attraction, otherwise there would be no cause of change or existence. God can be very much likened to gravity, attracting things to large masses but without ever changing as gravity is a constant unalterable force. In other words, God is a life force, something that unifies everything without actually acting upon anything. If you want to read up on Aristotle's ideas then there's a good book on Amazon or you can have a read on this website to get a more rounded view of everything we've discussed here - a good source for general philosophical teachings.
If you've enjoyed this post let me know below (I've also got a post about what Kant's thoughts on God were). Perhaps you feel I've misinterpreted some of these ideas, or maybe you agree, whatever your thoughts, pop them below for all to see. Until next time. Ciao!

Snowboarding holidays: beginner's dos and don'ts
If you're planning your first snowboarding holiday, here are a few dos and don'ts to help you on your way.
Get in as many lessons as you can before you go, ideally at a snowdome. Dry slopes are fine (and cheaper), but a long way from the feeling of having real snow beneath your feet. By having at least a basic grasp of boarding, and even being able to turn confidently, you'll get so much more out of your trip.
Assume that just because you have good balance and balls of steel, you're going to be a natural. Snowboarding is a skill that takes time, patience and a lot of practice. While balance and balls help, they're useless without skill.
Choose your destination wisely. It can be easy to be drawn in by the bright lights of big, popular resorts, but as a beginner you want somewhere which is going to help, rather than hinder your progression. Here are some good options for first timers.
Go out and spend thousands of pounds on new hardware. As a beginner it's highly unlikely you'll need a brand new, top of the range snowboard, despite how much of a 'gnarly dude' you think it'll make you look. Beg, steal and borrow all you can for your first trip, or hire it when you're out there.
Invest in good pair of boots. Seriously, if you're going to invest your money anywhere, make it boots. When you're on the slopes, comfort is so important, and believe me when I say that even the best of days can be tarnished by the relentless pain of foot cramps.
Forget your helmet! You know what's cool? Not having brain damage, that's what.
Dress appropriately. And by this I don't mean dress only in Burton gear, but rather consider that snow is cold and wet (who knew!?). Layer up, wear decent gloves, and make sure you have suitable arse protection, because you're going to be spending a lot of time sat on it.
Wear sunglasses when you ride – they look whack, fall off easily, and can shatter in your eyes if you take face dive. Goggles are much better in every sense.
Brush up on your piste etiquette.
Drink and ride. It makes snowboarding incredibly difficult, and puts yourself and others in danger.
Get in shape. You'll enjoy your trip much more if your body is able to keep up with your enthusiasm. It's your legs which will take the most battering, so get them working overtime in the lead up to your trip. Also, stretch at the start and end of each day – you'll feel better for it in the morning.
Give up. Snowboarding is a difficult art to master, but once it 'clicks', it's the best feeling. Remember that even the pros started somewhere.
Have fun and brag repeatedly to your friends and family by posting lift selfies on Facebook and Instagram. Better still, buy a helmet camera and brag via the medium of HD video.
Got something to add? Please feel free to leave a comment below.

Adele brands Love Island's Gabby Allen a 'tramp'
- Bang Showbiz
- 30 June 2017
International superstar Adele has revealed she is a huge fan of 'Love Island' and has branded contestant Gabby Allen a "tramp"
Adele has branded 'Love Island' contestant Gabby Allen as a "tramp".
The 29-year-old global superstar paused halfway through her concert at Wembley Stadium on Thursday (29.06.17) to reveal that she and her husband Simon Konecki - with whom she shares four-year-old son Angelo - are addicted to the show, but isn't a fan of the blonde contestant who had sex with Marcel Somerville over the weekend.
She said: "I mean 'Love Island' shall we talk about that? Jesus Christ. My husband and I watched it last night. Real people have real sex on real TV. When that girl Facetimed her mum 'mum are you proud of me?' No she ain't. No she f***ing aint proud of you! You tramp."
The 'Someone Like You' hitmaker was given cheers and applause for her comments from her 98,000-strong audience at the concert.
The blonde beauty and former 'Blazing Squad' member took a shine to each other from the moment they both arrived, and Marcel has been a fan favourite since the beginning of the show.
However, the show took a big twist after the couples were split up when all the boys moved to a second, secret villa without saying goodbye to their girlfriends.
Marcel was the only one to admit he would miss Gabby and said: "I am gonna miss Gabs though, just saying."
Five new girls and six new boys have been added to the separate groups and Marcel already admitted he was "feeling risky" about the new girls.
It's thought that the couples who have already formed will be split for at least two days, and producers hope the villas will be far enough away that anything can happen.
The source added: "The secret location is going to be used for two or three days and new girls will be sent into the boys' house to test them, and new boys will go into the girls' house. It's to test the loyalty of current relationships and it's going to be explosive.
"Because of the villa's remote location, the second house will be in the same town but is far enough away that both groups can get up to whatever they want."

What is it that compels people to become mystery shoppers? Do I have to travel out of my way? Will I be compensated for my time? What about gas mileage? What if I don't like the shop! What is the deal with mystery shopping???
We asked our shoppers, "Other than earning extra money...what is it that made YOU want to become a mystery shopper?" We were pleased with the number of respondents. Many agreed that there is a lot of flexibility when creating a mystery shopping schedule. Debbie from Louisiana and Pamela from Oklahoma both agreed that other than making some extra money, they were drawn to mystery shopping for it's flexibility. Lets get real...you probably won't be making a living by becoming a mystery shopper. Shoppers actually do have lives outside of mystery shopping!
Barb from Ohio said that she likes the fact that she can pick and choose the jobs she wants to do and when she wants to do them . Many of the jobs offered by DSG can be completed during the hours an establishment is open. There are a few shops you may run into that do expect to be completed within a specific time frame. Again, YOU make the choice on when you can complete the shop. Sometimes our client wants to know what's going on in their restaurant during the busy lunch hour! If you can't make it...no big deal! Try it out for breakfust or dinner.
Another reason why people decide to become shoppers is because of the experience! Aileen from Arizona said she enjoys shopping for "the opportunity of new experiences that may or may not have been available to me ordinarily." Want to grab a bite to eat at the drive thru restaurant down the street? Why not?! You didn't feel like cooking tonight anyway! There are also great opportunites that may become available at new high end restaurants that one may have not even considered dining at.
Restaurants are just an example. DSG offers a variety of mystery shops to choose from. Make a stop at the local credit union, go car shopping at the local dealership, make a call for an auto insurance quote, mystery shop a retail store. Again, there are many different assignments that shoppers can choose from.
Lesa from Pennsylvania explained that she decided to become a shopper because she enjoys helping businesses improve. There are quite a few perks when it comes to mystery shopping, but the bottom line is you are helping our clients navigate their business to success. Shoppers are not only asked to enjoy a meal or browse a store, but to evaluate the service, location and products. Clients want to know the facts and what the shoppers walk away with after having an experience with the company.
There are several different reasons why people decide to become mystery shoppers. Whether it be for the experience, the extra money, the flexibility or even to just help a business out, DSG is always happy to help shoppers choose the right shop for them.

So if you haven't experienced the joy of OneNote, now there is no excuse not to be using it EVERYWHERE!
