Red Admiral Butterfly

Linda, these are gorgeous photos!!! How nice to not only come across a butterfly but be able to photograph it. :)ReplyDelete
Great captures, Linda. Isn't it wonderful what amount of help and information can be found in the Internet? :) I also love the flowers - if I'm not mistaken it's a Spiraea bush which I also have in my garden.ReplyDelete
Fabulous capture of the butterfly.ReplyDelete
Pretty little guy, see them here on the dirt roads a lot drinking mineralsReplyDelete
bird droppings - too funny! i've seen butterflies on dog poop before and thought that was disgusting, too!ReplyDelete
GREAT shots! I love the distinct colors of this butterfly.ReplyDelete
Bird droppings? Really? I had no idea that these beauties had that in their diet. This is a wonderful series of a butterfly we don't see very often. What a gift too see this fella in the flowers (thank goodness) for these wonderful photos.ReplyDelete

DOWNEY – Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center is preparing to undergo a major renovation and campus beautification project. The $418 million project will include the construction of a new Wellness and Aquatic Therapy Center, outpatient facilities and inpatient expansion to improve seismic safety. Many of the campus's older buildings will also be demolished, however the hospital's historic Harriman Building will be refurbished and protected during the process.
The project will be separated into two phases of construction.
The first phase is centered on the construction of the Wellness and Aquatic Therapy Center. Starting last month and extending through July, the hospital will first see the demolition of the 700 Building, CART, and the Model Home and Building Threshold.
Construction will begin in August, and will continue through August of next year. It will include an addition to the parking garage, a warehouse, and a campus entry plaza, as well as the construction of the new wellness center. After completion there will be more demolition through November. Phase one will then conclude over the next several years as the outpatient building is constructed and the existing Jacquelin Perry Institute (JPI) is added to and renovated, ending in October 2018.
Phase two will begin immediately after phase one's completion. It will include renovations to the research and administration buildings, general campus beautification and site improvements, and demolition of existing buildings. Phase two is slated to extend from November 2018 to December 2020.
Construction boundaries have been set north of Imperial Highway, east of Old River School Road, south of Quill Drive and west of Rives Avenue; the hospital's current location. Rancho officials have planned the project to be as undisruptive as possible for the community, including limiting construction hours to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Rancho is also working with the contractor's to avoid impacting day-to-day operations during the renovation.
Rancho hosted a neighborhood meeting on March 26 for its immediate neighbors. The meeting included a brief presentation and Q&A. Rancho staff members were also on hand to answer any questions regarding the renovation.
Also in attendance was Andrea Avila, a field deputy for Fourth District Supervisor Don Knabe, who briefly spoke during the presentation on the supervisor's behalf.
"It is going to be a very difficult time ahead," said Avila. "There's gunna be some changes coming along for the staff, our patients and the community, but in the end it's going to be a great project. We know we change a lot of lives now but we can just imagine for generations to come what Rancho is going to stand for and what they're going to represent."
This will be the first major construction on campus since the construction of the JPI building in 1996. Rancho COO Benjamin Ovando Sr., MBA, said that the renovation is desperately needed, saying that care and equipment have changed. Ovando said that it has been challenging to operate in the current buildings which were built in the 1950's and 60's.
"We'll be able to provide a lot more efficient and safer care to the patients that we serve," he said.
Another presentation aimed towards the community at large is scheduled for April 22 at Councilman Sean Ashton's town hall meeting at the Barbara J. Riley Community & Senior Center.
Community members are encouraged to direct questions and concerns to the 24/7 Rancho Rising 2020 Hotline at (562) 219-4771.

Sacred Life Sunday: Celebrations!!
Ten years ago i was giving birth to this amazing blessing - a little girl. she only weighted 6 pounds, but she was alive and well and beautiful!! that christmas, i was HUGE and we had a few false alarms racing to Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham in the middle of the night... but my poppet knew when she was good and ready to make her entrance, and she wasn't to be rushed!!!
yesterday we had a housefull of giggling girls - sam invited a friend to keep himself sane. the girls played blind man's buff, hide and seek, and drew hopscotch on the drive; the boys watched a movie...
Esther has never really liked her name (it is my husband's mother's, grandmother's and great-grandmother's name), because it's never printed on any mugs, or rulers, or pencil cases you can buy in stores. so i had this banner made for her bedroom by Kirsty at PaperFish - she LOVED it :o)
And of course there was candlelit chocolate cake for dessert. what a day!!!

In this lesson, students explore the cosmic microwave background to understand why it permeates the universe and why it peaks as microwave radiation. Students should be able to explain that the origin of the background radiation is the uniform thermal radiation of the big bang and that the radiation produced was evenly distributed around the small early universe, causing it to permeate today's universe. This activity is part of the Cosmic Times teachers guide and is intended to be used in conjunction with the 1965 Cosmic Times Poster.

I was a Power Rangers guy growing up and I still am today. I love everything about that show from the cheesy acting to the awesome fight scenes. It's something I will never get tired of watching. The good people of Saban back in the 90s decided to test that. Saban produced Power Rangers taking footage from the Super Sentai series in Japan. Power Rangers was a huge success, so Saban wanted to maximize this success by bringing in more shows from Japan. This is when we get shows like Masked Rider, Big Bad Beetleborgs, and today's feature: V.R. Troopers. I enjoyed some V.R. Troopers when I was younger, but I never got into it as much as I did Power Rangers. I think that rang true for everyone since Power Rangers is still on today. V.R. Troopers features three teenagers as the V.R. Troopers. Ryan Steele is the leader of the bunch. I'll be honest that I don't know the personality traits of these characters well since this is the first episode I've watched in almost twenty years. I do know that Brad Hawkins who played Ryan Steele was almost cast as the White Ranger in Power Rangers while Jason David Frank was going to be the lead on V.R. Troopers which would be called Cybertron. Things worked out for the better. The other two characters are J.B. Reese and Kaitlin Star. Kaitlin Star is played by Sarah Brown who has made a living on the soap opera circuit. There's a mentor character in Tao Chong and a professor that looks like an older Randy Jackson. There's also a talking dog named Jeb. Let's get going already.
The Plot
The Troopers are celebrating Christmas at Tao's dojo. They are singing Christmas songs and cutting down trees. Your typical Saban Christmas. Thankfully it's not a clip show. The Troopers and some kids meet an elf named Otto who works at the North Pole. I believe he was absent from I'm Dreaming of a White Ranger. I should note that V.R. Troopers plays like an episode of Power Rangers, but not as fun. The evil Grimlord. wants to kidnap the elf since he can grant wishes. I didn't know elves had that power. Why didn't Hermey the Elf just wish to be a dentist? The foot soldiers for Grimlord kidnap the elf and the bad guys mock him and make him grant a wish. The elf brings the Troopers to the bad guy's lair and the elf took away their powers. I'm glad they had a good excuse for a reason to not let the Troopers morph. It's a Saban tradition to not have a morphed fight in Christmas specials. The elf ends up tricking Grimlord into saying he wished he never met the elf and all is happily ever after. The kids are happy to see the elf back and they celebrate Christmas! Tao says they celebrate all religions actually once again proving that old school Saban cared more about other religions. Santa Claus shows up….and it's the same Santa from I'm Dreaming of a White Ranger! Continuity! Power Rangers and V.R. Troopers take place in the same universe! Ryan's father also shows up at the end and I'm guessing he had been gone for awhile. They sing one more song and Santa's sleigh flies in front of the moon. Thankfully he doesn't have a Robo Knight voice.
Final Analysis
It's actually kind of entertaining. It's fun in a cheesy Power Rangers way and I'd say it's better than all the PR specials except I'm Dreaming of a White Ranger. I feel like it probably even advances the V.R. Troopers plot since his dad shows up at the end. I could be mistaken though. I'm happy the bad guy actually does something in this episode like what happened in I'm Dreaming of a White Ranger and Zeo's A Season to Remember. So I'd probably recommend this for anybody who enjoys a fun, cheesy Christmas special. Nobody does cheese like Saban. Plus the evil guy has a great evil laugh and he pets an iguana. That's awesome!

Gable Vents
Gable Vents for Attic Ventilation
Gable vents are placed at the top of the gable on the end of the house. Typically a gable vent would be installed on both ends of the house in hopes of creating a draft through the attic by having both intake and exhaust vents.
While gable vents do increase ventilation they are not a preferred manner of attic ventilation as they do not offer an even airflow across the attic and their ability to move large amounts of air are limited.
Gable vents can be installed with a power fan behind them similar in theory to the power roof vent. Installing a power fan will greatly improve the amount of ventilation that the gable vent can offer but will still not be as effective as a ridge cap vent. Many experts recommend that you close off gable vents if your house also has soffit and ridge cap vents as they can interfere with the more efficient ridge cap vent.
Unlike other types of vents gable vents are often used for decorative purposes rather than (or in addition to) the function of ventilating the attic. There are a large number of shapes, sizes, materials, and colors available to create the visual appearance desired by the homeowner.
As with most types of vents it is important to have adequate soffit venting for the gable vents to be most effective.
Gable vents are obviously intended to be used with a gable roof.

About this font family
Zulu-Ndebele Pattern is the first ever font to be based solely on the traditional decorative patterns of the Zulu and Ndebele tribes of Southern Africa. The designer has lived in KwaZulu (Place of the Zulu), for over 50 years and has made a life-long study of traditional Zulu beadwork and carving, and of Ndebele wall decoration.
There are 52 pattern units that may be combined in many ways to create borders, backgrounds and an unlimited number of designs. The pattern units correspond to the upper and lower case letters. More…
The reason that the Zulu and Ndebele patterns have been grouped together is that the true tribal areas are contiguous and the there has been much artistic cross-fertilization between the two cultures. Many of the patterns that are used by the two tribes are identical.

After the great success achieved in 2012, the city of Florence and Vogue Italia present the second edition of Vogue Fashion's Night Out, on September 12, 2013.
Born in 2009, this international event is dedicated to shopping and fashion and its target is celebrating fashion and boosting the sector's economy. Vogue Fashion's Night Out 5th edition in Milan will take place on September, 17th, the day before the beginning of the Fashion Week.

Every year Vogue Fashion's Night Out involves an increasing number of countries and people, more than 300,000 only in Italy, in the three cities that host the event – Milan, Florence and Rome.
The event also offers the opportunity to participate at charity projects - proceeds from the sales of some items limited edition of the 2012 Edition was dedicated to numerous charitable projects.

Shops will be open until 11:30 PM and will offer a special setting, cocktail parties and host vips. A sticker on the shop windows indicates that it participates to the event.
Not only shopping: Ferragamo Museum will open from 7 PM to 11:30 PM with free entrance. Palazzo Strozzi will offer the possibility to relax until late evening and will be open until 11 PM: you can taste a drink at Café Giocosa or snoop in the bookshop. The Florentine Association of Antique Dealers repeats the event "Arte in Vetrina" (art in the shop window): each antique dealer will show in his shop window a painting of a subject in costume, or a dressed sculpture or something else keeping with the theme chosen this year, 'Fashion and Costume in art'.
Campari will offer its new aperitif Campari Orange Passion during the opening cocktail in Palazzo Vecchio and in other selected shops. Lavazza will offer a tasting of the authentic Italian coffee a Modo Mio and will sell some limited edition cans signed by artists: proceeds from the sales will be dedicated to Fashion 4 Development.The Shopping Bag VFNO 2013 will be on sale only during the event's evening in selected newsstands in Florence and online on www.qvc.it

They dated and even though Tom was not Catholic, Dorothy's parents could see he was a wonderful lad of good moral fiber and they wholeheartedly approved of the relationship. That October as their separate semesters were well under way Tom walked with Dorothy through the colorful wooded autumn trails of his campus at Wintergreen Gorge. At a wonderfully secluded site by a small waterfall he pulled a ring from his jacket and proposed. It was a simple ring, with one small quarter cakat diamond, but to Dorothy it was the most beautiful piece of jewelry she had ever beheld. He asked her to marry him and she accepted. Always the traditionalist Dorothy wanted to be a June bride and they set the date.
But the year was 1941 and December 7th the world forever changed for that generation of American youth. Tom was shipped off to the European theater of World War 2 before Christmas. They had toyed with the idea of having an early wedding, but they had no money and decided that it was best if they postponed it until his return.
Dorothy was heartsick but she continued her education at Mercyhurst while Tom fought the Nazis in
Of course Dorothy's world was torn asunder. Her grief knew no end, but in her sorrow she turned to the convent of the Sisters of Mercy for solace. She found peace sitting alone in the College's Christ the King Chapel, lighting the candles in memory of Tom and it was during this time she knew that no other man would ever take his place, so she joined the convent and became a nun with the Sisters of Mercy. After her training in the sisterhood she took her final vows and following the service she came back to the Chapel where she had originally made her decision. She took out her engagement ring that Tom had given her and placed it on the finger of the baby Jesus in the area between the main Christ the King's Chapel and the smaller Queens chapel as a symbol of both her devotion to the church and her leaving her old life behind as she moved towards the future.
The years went by and Dorothy adapted well to the life at the convent and was a studious and hard working member of the order. When the war ended in 1945 Dorothy was still serving the college community when she had a visitor. In the dark light of the chapel the young man in uniform stepped forward, but even before she saw his face Dorothy knew who it was and in the shock of discovery she almost fainted. It was Tom. He had never died in
Dorothy was overjoyed at the safe return of the man she loved. But as they spent time together the conflict in her heart tore her apart. She had loved Tom but was far in the process of moving on with her life. Tom acted like their parting was just a few days ago and he wanted to start the relationship right where they had left it, but for Dorothy that was a lifetime ago. She was a different person; she had devoted her life to God. That Tom was not a Catholic and had no desire to become one only aggravated her frustration. But deep in her heart she did truly love him. If there was every to be man in her life her heart knew it could only be Tom. Tom was very frustrated with the situation as well. He had held onto his love for Dorothy through the daily hell of war on the battlefield, and he was deeply hurt by her inability to make a decision about their future together. He demanded an answer.
One night after praying long and hard before the statue of the baby Jesus that held her engagement ring on its finger, Dorothy was overcome with grief and frustration. She loved Tom but he was pushing her too hard, these decisions were coming at her too fast. To her it seemed her life was spiraling out of control. She was frantic, and the pressure was too much for her fragile mind. She ran up to her small room that was just above the chapel and in manic frustration she committed suicide by hanging herself from a light fixture.
Soon apparitions of a nun were seen throughout the
A young female student had seen the ring on the statues finger and had taken it to play a prank on her boyfriend. Their relationship had been a long distance one since she came to attend Mercyhurst but they were still committed to each other and he visited every weekend. They had been talking about marriage but he had cold feet and was stalling to pop the question. So this young lady took Dorothy's ring to fool her boyfriend into thinking someone else had beat him to the punch, and hopefully spur him into making his own proposal. She called him on the phone to tell him she had something very important to talk about and would meet him halfway between the college and their hometown. But on her way to meet him she died in a particularly bizarre and violent freak accident on the highway.
Her friends were sure it was because of the ring. And word rapidly spread throughout the college community that the Ghost Nun's ring was cursed. It is rumored that College officials were also terrified of the possible curse on account of the various paranormal activities that had manifest itself campus wide since her suicide. They decided the best thing to do was to bury Dorothy's ring in a secret location on campus so no one else could fall victim to the curse.
I have known the basics of this story for some years and before investigating it further I had read a wonderful version of it in the book "Ghosts of Erie County" by Stephanie Wincik. Her book is full of fascinating and spooky Ghost Stories from
The Cursed ring is buried, and no one else in all these passing years have been exposed to its blight. But the ghostly activities of the suicidal nun did not stop with the burial of the engagement ring. To this day students and staff have the occasional run in with the forlorn spirit of Dorothy.
Here is a letter from a former student:
I went to
Confused and heartbroken the spirit of Dorothy still roams the Campus of Mercyhurst College. Does she still look for answers while traversing the twilight between worlds? Or is she stuck in a state of limbo because the violent death she suffered at her own hands? We will never know for sure but the apparition of the nun has never gone away.
And many students who walk over the small green island in the middle of
If you visit

Until next time,

- Workshop on Monday, July 19, 2010: Your Digital Self: Web 2.0 as Personal Learning Environment and E-Portfolio
Web 2.0 tools facilitate self-expression, reflection, online interaction and feedback. This hands-on workshop will focus on Web 2.0 tools that can be used to construct a PLE for a variety of purposes, and provide a broader look at using these tools within the context of ePortfolios and Digital Identity Development: Web Aggregators/AJAX Start Pages, Blogs & RSS Feeds, Social Networks/Twitter, and Interactive Productivity Tools/GoogleApps. Bring your wireless laptop!
- Keynote Address on Wednesday, July 21, 2010:
Blurring the Boundaries between ePortfolio Development and Social Networking
Electronic Portfolios have been with us for almost two decades, used primarily in education to store documents and reflect on learning, provide feedback for improvement, and showcase achievement for accountability or employment. Social networks have emerged over the last five years, used by individuals and groups to store documents and share experiences, showcase accomplishments, communicate and collaborate with friends and family, and, in some cases, facilitate employment searches. The boundaries between these two processes are gradually blurring. As we consider the potential of lifelong e-portfolios, will they resemble the structured accountability systems that are currently being implemented in many higher education institutions? Or are we beginning to see lifelong interactive portfolios emerging as mash-ups in the Web 2.0 cloud?
- Presentation TBA:
The Future of mPortfolios (m=mobile) for Lifelong Learning
Most people are carrying powerful computers in their pockets, whether a smart phone, iPod Touch or the emerging iPad/tablet/XO3 market in schools. Combined with web-based portfolio tools, learners have the potential to create/maintain a working portfolio anytime/anywhere. Explore the current status and future possibilities. This session will be more of a conversation/group brainstorm than a presentation.

It sounds like a cliché, but there's something about spring that brings my kids to life.
As soon as warm weather makes an appearance, shirts and pants become too short, shoes miraculously start wearing out, and a mischievous sparkle shines in their eyes.
My 8 year old wanders back into the house after what should have been a ten minute trip to the grocery store, with mysterious smudges of dirt on his forehead, and a story to tell.
I spend my afternoons trying to resist the charms of four little ones eager to stay outside until the last possible minute. It's amazing how many excuses for staying at the park a rosy-cheeked four year old (supported of course by his 5, 6, and 8 year old siblings) can think of when push comes to shove!
I can't say I blame them – I'm not too anxious to go inside either.
So I've been taking advantage of the beautiful weather and my kids' newfound curiosity, by starting a new theme based on spring. Normally I afterschool for about two hours in the afternoons, but for those sessions we usually spend our time doing table work. There's plenty of hands on learning of course, but it's still relatively sedate.
Instead, we've flipped the order of things: now, we go out on long adventures "to see what we can see." We wander around the city, letting our eyes lead the way. Lately, the kids have been interested in all things green- especially flowers and leaves. So I've taken their natural interests, and built a curriculum around flowers and leaves.
Here are some of the things we have done:
Flower arranging
For this one I opted to use fake flowers, since they last longer.
I found a miniature vase at a school supply store, and a wooden tray at another closeout store.
If you do choose to use real flowers, such as wildflowers, you could add a small pair of nail scissors for snipping flowers to the right size.
I didn't choose that option because being in the city, wildflowers aren't so close by, and flowers get used up pretty fast!
DIY Flower parts puzzle
The kids enjoyed this one, though I did cut corners on it.
I could see right away that since it wasn't the real puzzle, it would be less captivating for the kids. With a real puzzle, there is more fine motor work involved. Plus, kids can use the puzzle pieces to trace around and make their own flower.
So instead of using felt as the post suggests, I just laminated the flower templates with packing tape – and let the kids practice putting the pieces in their proper places.
I used the 3 period lesson to teach them basic parts of the flower, and we'll review the names during our travels around the city.
Thanks to MaybeMontessori for the puzzle templates.
Flower parts booklet
This one I reserved for the 6 and 8 year old. It's also a Montessori activity, like the two previous exercises.
There is a booklet with all the flower parts named; on each page of the booklet, a different part of the flower is colored in, and the name of the flower is written below.
There is also a separate book of definitions.
I had both children color in one part of the flower, and write the name of the part below.
My 8 year old loved especially loved this activity – he also wrote the definitions for each part, using an old school workbook that we found at a secondhand store a few years back.
He loves reading, so he had already memorized a few parts on his own.
Here's the link for this flower parts booklet from Montessori Materials.
Flower Matching/Naming Game
We launched this activity with a flower hunt.
The kids and I went for a long walk through several city parks hunting for wildflowers.
Even my 4 year old was excited about it, wielding his safety scissors at every eligible plant and leaf.
We were excited to find about 6 different kinds of flowers (not bad for a city excursion!), and were about to pick the last coup – a large white flower that looks like an oversized dandelion – when the 4 year old remarked that there was a bug.
The 8 year old took a closer look, scissors in hand – and ran away in a panic when he realized it was a scorpion!
He declared that as soon as he got home he was going straight into the bath. Both of them spent the walk home checking themselves frantically for crawling things :).
Flower pressing activity
When we got home we pressed the flowers we found; when they're ready we'll look them up in our wildflower guide and label the flowers and leaves.
Here are some more activities that we haven't yet gotten to:
DIY Leaf Cards
In this activity, kids learn the names for the different shapes of leaves. Of course a leaf cabinet would be great, but since it's pretty expensive (and I don't have time to make a DIY version), we're going to make do with the leaf cards.
You can get a pretty comprehensive set for free here. If you'd like a chart, you can find one for free here.
Hands on Science Experiments
I'm overdue to spend some quality time with my 8 year old, so I've decided to spend some time doing some science experiments. Hopefully we'll get to them in the next few weeks.


text: Our National 5 pupils each spent a day out of school exploring different parts of the River Gryffe. This allowed pupils to work in teams using fieldwork techniques to collect river data. This information will be used to produce the N5 assignments which are an important part of the N5 exam. We were really lucky with the weather and with the exception of some soggy wellies only day 3 pupils seemed to want to be soaking wet all day. It turns out that the water in the River Gryffe is REALLY cold! What a bunch of crazies!!

Mediation is a way of settling disputes without the delay, stress and expense of going to court. Our mediators can help to resolve any dispute no matter how complicated or bitterly fought.
We offer a solution to resolving disputes which is informal, cost effective, and quick. We can arrange mediations in a matter of days/weeks. Whilst a judge is limited to ruling on the law our specialist mediators can help the parties arrive at more wide ranging, creative and better solutions.
We take time to understand the real issues causing the dispute. As well as being sensitive to the emotional elements of any dispute we are very much alive to the practical and commercial realities. Our flexible approach can help to preserve business and family relationships despite the dispute. Using our skills and experience we will work tirelessly with the parties to try to find a resolution which everyone can live with.
Our trained mediators are experts in the various legal areas in which they practice. They will guide the parties through the mediation process to try to make it as straightforward as they can in the hope and expectation that it will be possible to reach a compromise acceptable to everyone.
We have a suite of comfortable rooms available for mediations ensuring that each party has their own space and can discuss any aspect of the dispute in complete confidence.
Almost any dispute is capable of being settled by mediation. Examples include:
Civil/Commercial Mediations
Building disputes
Commercial lease disputes
Company/shareholder disputes
Employment disputes
Residential landlord and tenant disputes
Neighbour disputes
Partnership disputes
Professional negligence claims
Trust disputes
Undue influence claims
Will disputes/Inheritance Act claims
Family Mediations
Divorce/separation/civil partnership disputes
Children and family financial disputes arising on relationship breakdown
Cohabitation disputes
We have particular experience however in the fields of inheritance and trust disputes, property matters and family/cohabitation disputes.
Associate, Family
Julian has extensive experience in family law and in particular high net worth financial cases.
Qualifying in 1988, Julian's career has included practising family law in California, gaining invaluable experience acting in high profile cases for clients in Beverley Hills.
Julian is a trained collaborative lawyer and mediator and has been admitted to the California Bar (non-practising). He is also a member of Resolution and the Thameside Collaborative Law Pod.
His most memorable case was obtaining monthly alimony of $35k for a client.
Julian receives excellent feedback from his clients: "Your patience, efficiency and pragmatic advice have made a difficult matter easier for us."
Here are Julian's answers to a brief interview about his interests and achievements.
What was your first car?
A rusty Peugeot which expired on the M3 in Winchester on Friday the 13th.
What would you have done if you had not become a lawyer?
Opera chorus member
What was one of the high points in your legal career?
My first Court of Appeal case which was reported in the papers.
Partner, Head of Dispute Resolution
As Head of Dispute Resolution Paul has extensive experience of dealing with a wide range of disputes focusing in particular on professional negligence, contentious trust and estate cases and Inheritance Act claims where he acts for both claimants and defendants, trustees, executors and beneficiaries.
He is a member of the Professional Negligence Lawyers' Association and the Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists. He is also an ADR Group Accredited Mediator. Paul has, in the past, appeared on local radio as a "legal eagle" responding to listeners' queries.
Passing his Law Society finals with First Class Honours Paul originally trained at Hart Brown. Having spent two years sharpening up his advocacy skills at another firm Paul returned to Hart Brown as a partner.
As one client put it: "I am very impressed with his thoroughness" and another: "A very professional service delivered in a very personal way".
"With Hart Brown I had complete success with my claim against my former solicitor. At all stages I had the confidence to proceed based on the clear analysis and communication of my position. I have no hesitation in recommending Hart Brown and particularly Paul Grimwood".
And outside work:
1. What are your interests outside of work?
Racquetball, badminton, watching rugby, travel and music.
2. What is your favourite travel destination?
We once did a house exchange holiday to San Francisco and there was such a lot to see and do that I felt slightly sorry for the American family staying at our house in Surrey.
Partner, Head of Family
Sharon has over 20 years experience on all aspects of family law and in particular the financial aspects in high value divorces. She is particularly experienced in dealing with couples who have assets abroad.
She is a Resolution Accredited Specialist and qualified in mediation and collaborative family law.
"A break up of a relationship is very sad for everyone concerned" says Sharon. "I believe that our role is to try and help both parties reach a solution which they are both happy with. When feelings are running high this can sometimes be difficult but I believe we can make a difference".
Sharon is often thanked by her clients for her sympathetic and supportive approach through a traumatic time in their lives.
Her most memorable case was in a divorce where financial matters involving significant assets were resolved amicably yet parties persisted to argue about kitchen utensils!
She qualified as a solicitor in 1986 and joined Hart Brown in 2007 becoming a partner a few months later.
A client thanked Sharon for her work: "I would especially like to thank Sharon Powell for all her support and guidance throughout. Thanks indeed."
Here are Sharon's answers to a brief interview about her interests and achievements.
What are your interests?
Cooking and enjoying a well prepared meal.
Where is your favourite destination?
Tell us about your notable achievements?

Barns, cottages, ecolodges and campsites in Pembrokeshire
Each of the places we've listed has been chosen because it offers a truly green (and gorgeous!) experience, whether that's Preseli Venture's eco lodge and activity centre, or the truly innovative geodesic 'dome' at Fforest Camp. It doesn't matter whether you're looking to lose yourself in the Welsh countryside or bed down next to the ocean, there's something for you.
And because you don't have to worry that your stay is having a negative impact on the environment, you can tuck into that locally sourced breakfast, or explore the woodland trails, knowing you're doing your bit to conserve Pembrokeshire.

I cooked a vegetable soup last night and forgot to put it away in the fridge. It's been sitting in a pot all night. If I reheat it, bringing it to a boil, is it still safe to eat?
A vegetable soup should still be fine as long as you held it covered. If it were seafood I wouldn't take the chance.
If you used chicken stock or other meat stock to make it, I'd get rid of it. If it's vegetarian it is likely to be fine.
The food scientists on here will say, toss it, but I think if you boil it for 10 minutes it should be fine.
If you cook 10 minutes at 160F or above, you'll kill all bacteria. I've done this more times than I want to admit, and I'm still alive.
unless it's very, very warm where you are it's fine.
I'm not a food scientist, but I have had food poisoning. (self inflicted. let the beef stew cool too long before refrigerating. really awful. seriously dreadfully awful.) Here's what the USDA says, "Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures between 40 and 140 °F, some doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes. Some types will produce toxins that are not destroyed by cooking." So, you're right, you can kill the bacteria. But you can't remove the toxins, and it's the toxins that can make you wish you were dead. There's no way to know if there are toxins present. I've done the same thing and had to throw out what seemed like perfectly good chicken stock. But I never (ever) want to get food poisoning again.
My mother always told me, "When in doubt, throw it out."
And, I'm still alive.
You're probably fine with the advice above about boiling, but if you've ever had food poisoning like drbabs you'll probably take the safest path of throwing it out. it's just not worth taking the chance. I landed in the ER with food poisoning a number of years ago, which likely came from a contaminated rare burger I had in a questionable restaurant. I don't think I've ever been that sick in my life. So now I do what drbabs does - b/c I don't ever want to go through that again. And besides the misery, a trip to the ER is always going to be more expensive than re-making a vegetable soup.

About the Persecution and More
1.) Here is an interesting post that leads a PPT presentation that everyone should see. It is very beautiful and touching. The Gala show may be coming to a city near you. Don't miss it.
2. ) Hao Yingqiangn was persecuted to death in China. Read his story and know the truth about how the Chinese Communist Party has persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. This kind of bad behavior from the CCP is going on today. It would be good if the CCP ended the persecution of Falun Gong in China.
3. ) The Death of Li Hongfu - You can see a picture of his emaciated state from ill treatment by the CCP.
4.) Read about The First Emperor - This post leads to a commentary on how the CCP is trying to justify it's use of force to make people do what they want. Subjugation of the masses is the CCP's continual mission. They were not elected to power, they seized power and have been at it ever since.
The CCPs rise to power and their way of maintaining it is a serious lesson in history on why Communism never works - certainly not the way Carl Marx intended it to be.
I remember talking to a sociology professor at a local college. This guy actually supported violent overthrow and putting anyone that resisted into labor camps. (sounds just like China to me)
I don't think he thought things through very well. Read the nine commentaries to understand why Communism and particularly the CCP's version of it is so wrong!
5. Read (and see) more about the Global Gala celebration around the world.

Many of the drug cases that I handle involve the Police using a confidential informant (or CI) as part of the investigation. A confidential informant is typically an individual who has been arrested for a separate crime and in exchange for favorable treatment, agrees to give information, participate in the investigation, and in many instances, be the key player in the crime that leads to your arrest.
A typical fact pattern is as follows:
Johnny gets caught with an ounce of pot. The police say to him "We will help you out if you help us out. Who do you know that sells drugs." Johnny tells them and then agrees to go and buy drugs from that person. He does so on several occasions. This is called a controlled buy. After several controlled buys, the police make an application for a warrant to search the suspect's home. They get that warrant based on the information that the CI provides and the successful controlled buys.
The home is searched and drugs are found. The suspect is charged with drug distribution.
The identity of the confidential informant is rarely revealed. In fact, the law is very protective of the identity of a CI and only requires that this identity by exposed under certain circumstances. And even then, the law states that the CI's testimony if ordered can only be required at trial under most circumstances.
There are exceptions, as stated, to the general rule that the identity remains secret. For example, in my example above, if we change the facts slightly to say that the suspect was arrested because we arranged for the CI to buy a gun from him, and we arrested him on the spot. This means that the CI was directly involved in the crime that led to the arrest. This is different than being involved in the development of probable cause for arrest.
Another exception is when the identity of the CI is revealed by the state. This doesn't mean that you know who he is. This means that the State screwed up an inadvertently revealed it. For example, if the name appeared in a police report. Just because you may know who it is, does not mean that the State disclosed it.
There are other exceptions as well. I have filed many motions to disclose the identity of a CI. Not all have been successful, but in the cases where it has been, it frequently results in a dismissal or significant downgrade. The State does not like to reveal them, especially if they are good at what they do.
If you have been arrested and suspect that a CI was used by the Police during the investigation, it would benefit you you get as much information as you can about it. If the chips fall the right way, it could result in the dismissal of your case or other very good outcomes.

The week started off promising enough. It was shaping up to be a pretty exciting and busy week, with work to do; Italian class starting again; physical therapy; a contest drawing to assist with...among other things. Yes, I was looking forward to many activities. And then it fell in the crapper when I came down with the nasty flu or cold thing -I'm never sure how to tell if it's a cold or a flu - that has been devastating New Mexico. Nary a citizen in the state hasn't been affected. Everyone has a sister/husband/child/self who has been afflicted with the virulent bug. I'm no exception; I'm one of the statistics.
Today's headline:
N.M. flu activity still 'widespread'
"New Mexico is again one of seven states reporting widespread flu activity.
New Mexico remains on the list of the busiest states for the flu bug.
The Centers for Disease Control on Friday released the latest flu activity map. It shows seven states, including New Mexico, with "widespread" flu activity – the highest possible rating on the map. "
Great. I'm feeling, well, icky, but I won't bore (nor gross you out) with the details. Instead, I offer you this brief interlude in absence of an actual blog entry.
I entered two articles into an online contest on the Slow Travel website. One was selected as a winner and put into the prize drawing (yes, the prize drawing held today that I had looked forward to helping with.) In lieu of a blog post, I am giving you the links to my articles for your reading pleasure.
New Mexico's Indian Country (the winning entry)
Climbing the Family Tree in Basilicata's Hilltowns
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to make a hot toddy.

So big. So fast.
He's over 14 pounds by now.
He's smiling.
He's trying to giggle.
He's holding his head up and sitting with a bit of help.
He's playing with his sister.
(He doesn't have much of a choice.)
He's grasping with his hands and holding on tight.
He's wrapping me ...
and everyone else ...
around his little finger.
At least he still has tiny, chubby feet.
It'll take some time for him to grow out of those.

The release date for Part 2 is totally unknown, since I haven't even begun it. Since I will be working on it over Summer Break, though, I should finish it in a timelier manner than I did Part 1.


text: Hepatitis B immune globulinList of people with hepatitis C: The infectious disease hepatitis C is caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which affects the liver and is transmitted by blood-to-blood contact, or by exposure to another person's infected blood. The infection is often asymptomatic, but chronic infection can cause inflammation of the liver (chronic hepatitis).Hepatitis B virus precore mutant: A precore mutant is a variety of hepatitis B virus that does not produce hepatitis B virus e antigen (HBeAg). These mutants are important because infections caused by these viruses are difficult to treat, and can cause infections of prolonged duration and with a higher risk of liver cirrhosis.ExbivirumabNitazoxanideAS04: AS04 (Aka. "Adjuvant System 04") is a trade name for combination of adjuvants used in various vaccine product by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), in particular the Fendrix Hepatitis B vaccine.Canine hepacivirus: Canine hepacivirus is a single strand RNA virus of the genus Hepacivirus.Kapoor A, Simmonds P, Gerold G, Qaisar N, Jain K, Henriquez JA, Firth C, Hirschberg DL, Rice CM, Shields S, Lipkin WI (2011) Characterization of a canine homolog of hepatitis C virus.Hepatitis E virus cis-reactive elementAutoimmune hepatitisHepatitis delta virus ribozymeAntiviral drug: Antiviral drugs are a class of medication used specifically for treating viral infections. Like antibiotics for bacteria, specific antivirals are used for specific viruses.Mir-652 microRNA precursor family: In molecular biology mir-652 microRNA is a short RNA molecule. MicroRNAs function to regulate the expression levels of other genes by several mechanisms, with expression levels of miRNAs and respective target mRNAs negatively correlated.Alcoholic hepatitisRibavirinHBV RNA encapsidation signal epsilonAlanine transaminase: Alanine transaminase (ALT) is a transaminase enzyme (). It is also called alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) and was formerly called serum glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) or serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT).NS3 (HCV): Nonstructural protein 3 (NS3), also known as p-70, is a viral nonstructural protein that is 70 kDa cleavage product of the hepatitis C virus polyprotein. It acts as a serine protease.Liver sinusoid: A liver sinusoid is a type of sinusoidal blood vessel (with fenestrated, discontinuous endothelium) that serves as a location for the oxygen-rich blood from the hepatic artery and the nutrient-rich blood from the portal vein.SIU SOM Histology GIFibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinomaWHP Posttrascriptional Response Element: Woodchuck Hepatitis Virus (WHP) Posttranscriptional Regulatory Element (WPRE) is a DNA sequence that, when transcribed creates a tertiary structure enhancing expression. Commonly used in molecular biology to increase expression of genes delivered by viral vectors.Metastatic liver disease: A liver metastasis is a malignant tumor in the liver that has spread from another organ affected by cancer. The liver is a common site for metastatic disease because of its rich, dual blood supply (the liver receives blood via the hepatic artery and portal vein).LamivudinePEGylationColes PhillipsSeroprevalence: Seroprevalence is the number of persons in a population who test positive for a specific disease based on serology (blood serum) specimens; often presented as a percent of the total specimens tested or as a proportion per 100,000 persons tested. As positively identifying the occurrence of disease is usually based upon the presence of antibodies for that disease (especially with viral infections such as Herpes Simplex and HIV), this number is not significant if the specificity of the antibody is low.Jean Emond: Jean C. Emond is the current Thomas S.Statnamic load test: The Statnamic load test is a type of test for assessing the load carrying capacity of deep foundations which is faster and less expensive than the static load test. The Statnamic test was conceived in 1985, with the first prototype tests carried out in 1988 through collaboration between Berminghammer Foundation Equipment of Canada and TNO Building Research of the Netherlands (Middendorp et al.Symmetry element: A symmetry element is a point of reference about which symmetry operations can take place. In particular, symmetry elements can be centers of inversion, axes of rotation and mirror planes.World Blood Donor Day: Every year on 14 June, countries around the world celebrate World Blood Donor Day (WBDD). The event, established in 2004, serves to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products, and to thank blood donors for their voluntary, life-saving gifts of blood.Liver biopsyAmerican Association for the Study of Liver Diseases: The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) is the leading organization of scientists and health care professionals committed to preventing and curing liver disease. AASLD was founded in 1950 by a small group of leading liver specialists (including Hans Popper, Leon Schiff, Fred Hoffbauer, Cecil Watson, Jesse Bollman, and Sheila Sherlock, to name a few) to bring together those who had contributed to the field of hepatology.The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary: The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary: A Canadian Story of Resilience and Recovery is a non-fiction book, written by Canadian writer Andrew Westoll, first published in May 2011 by Harper Collins. In the book, the author chronicles the time he spent volunteering at the Fauna Sanctuary, an animal refuge in Quebec for chimpanzees that had been used for biomedical research.Combination therapy: Combination therapy or polytherapy is therapy that uses more than one medication or modality (versus monotherapy, which is any therapy taken alone). Typically, these terms refer to using multiple therapies to treat a single disease, and often all the therapies are pharmaceutical (although it can also involve non-medical therapy, such as the combination of medications and talk therapy to treat depression).JaundiceTransaminaseThermal cyclerPseudotyping: Pseudotyping is the process of producing viruses or viral vectors in combination with foreign viral envelope proteins. The result is a pseudotyped virus particle.Tadorninae: The Tadorninae is the shelduck-sheldgoose subfamily of the Anatidae, the biological family that includes the ducks and most duck-like waterfowl such as the geese and swans.Interferon: :24-187 :24-185 :24-186Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis: Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis is a skin condition presenting in roughly 15% of people with a circulating cryoprecipitable protein.QRISK: QRISK2 (the most recent version of QRISK) is a prediction algorithm for cardiovascular disease (CVD) that uses traditional risk factors (age, systolic blood pressure, smoking status and ratio of total serum cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) together with body mass index, ethnicity, measures of deprivation, family history, chronic kidney disease, rheumatoid arthritis, atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus, and antihypertensive treatment.Non-communicable disease: Non-communicable disease (NCD) is a medical condition or disease that is non-infectious or non-transmissible. NCDs can refer to chronic diseases which last for long periods of time and progress slowly.Elvitegravir/cobicistat/emtricitabine/tenofovirManagement of HIV/AIDS: The management of HIV/AIDS normally includes the use of multiple antiretroviral drugs in an attempt to control HIV infection. There are several classes of antiretroviral agents that act on different stages of the HIV life-cycle.Protein primary structure: The primary structure of a peptide or protein is the linear sequence of its amino acid structural units, and partly comprises its overall biomolecular structure. By convention, the primary structure of a protein is reported starting from the amino-terminal (N) end to the carboxyl-terminal (C) end.Resistance mutation: A resistance mutation is a point mutations in virus genes that allow the virus to become resistant to treatment with a particular antiviral drug. The term was first used in the management of HIV, the first virus in which genome sequencing was routinely used to look for drug resistance.Brain biopsyVaccinationYgbB N terminal protein domain: In molecular biology, YgbB is a protein domain. This entry makes reference to a number of proteins from eukaryotes and prokaryotes which share this common N-terminal signature and appear to be involved in terpenoid biosynthesis.

Think of a sixteen year old boy who loves his horse so much that when it's sold to the military at the outbreak of WWI, he lies his age, joins up, and sets out to find him. Of course there's more to it than that, but any story about a boy and his horse (or a girl and her horse such as National Velvet) is a winning combo. Steven Spielberg has already bought the film rights to it.

Well as you may have guessed, I am posting another card with the cable knit embossing folder today... since I played with it the other day!
This time it's a Fall card:
This time I used the sponge brayer and rolled over the texture several times with Cajun Craze ink.
Oh and the multi coloring on the leaf was achieved with the baby wipe technique. Here is a quick refresher on that. A baby wipe was folded up several times to make a thicker square. Then multiple ink colors were dropped randomly on in. And then it was used as ink pad, sort of ;-)

French cycling legend Jeannie Longo has all but clinched a place in the Beijing Olympics at the age of 49.
The five-time world champion staked her claim with an outstanding win in the time-trial at the French National Championships on Thursday. She finished in 31 minutes 16 seconds, over a minute ahead of second-placed Edwige Pitel.
The French team for China has yet to be named, but her win in the national championships puts her in prime position to grab a spot.
"My target was to represent France at the Olympic Games," Longo said. "Now, I am aiming at a podium placing. It will be tough and even if I finish in the first five at Beijing I will be happy."
Longo, who will be 50 in October, has won world titles in time-trials and road races, but her only Olympic gold came when she won the road race at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Thank you to the fabulous Tali Wee of Zillow for this great Guest Post…
It's all too common to have a cluttered craft room. Piles of fabric, spilled glitter, paper trimmings, dried up paint palettes and crusted glue flecks can make a mess in creative spaces. Sorting through these materials can optimize productivity.
If the do-it-yourself (DIY) area is a chaotic mess, consider these seven tips to produce a refreshing, organized craft experience.
Use three-ring binders to store instructions and scrapbook paper. Make sure to incorporate page protectors to keep delicate papers intact. Separate paper based on pigment with color-coded tabs to better organize scrapbook materials. Another great use for binders is organizing sample fabrics, rather than letting them clutter cabinet space.
Clear mason jars provide a decorative way to store small trinkets and accessories. Designate a different mason jar for each category: buttons, charms, sequins and rhinestones. Display the jars on a shelf or attach them to the wall with t-bolt clamps. Save money by checking out the local thrift store for recycled mason jars.
Utilize hangers in the craft space to proudly display ribbons and fabric while keeping them out of the way for a clutter-free space. Consider hanging materials in empty closet space, especially if the home doesn't have a designated creative space. Hanging materials protects the products and opens up the room when it's being used as an office, playroom or guest den.
Install pegboard to hang tools in an organized and easily accessible fashion. Pegboard can be painted or bordered with a decorative frame to keep it from looking like a garage storage piece. Make sure every piece of equipment has its own hook on the board. Once it's arranged, consider color-coding tools with their designated spots so guests can follow the structured method.
Repurposed Storage
Bigger items such as irons and sewing machines can be neatly put away in an old armoire or dresser. Consider shopping for such furniture at the local thrift shop or Craigslist, and put creativity to good use by up-cycling dated pieces. Add customized shelving to fit personal tools and utilize every inch of available storage.
Spice Racks
Have an extra spice rack sitting in the kitchen cabinet and taking up space? Spice racks make cute alternatives for small accessories such as glitter, pins and beads. Consider revamping the racks with paint to fit the style of the DIY area.
Designate Space
Die-hard DIYers may be lucky enough to have a designated project space. Those taking crafting from a hobby to a full-time job might even consider shopping for a new home with more square footage, proper welding ventilation and excessive natural light. Those who are operating in shared spaces can use shelves and storage pieces to separate a multipurpose room, so inevitable messes don't spill into an office or vice versa.
Whether an expert craftsman on Etsy or just a sporadic seamstress for friends and family, these tips can assist to control the clutter of a craft space.

When the PSTN leaves, will your phone number stay?
As the public switched telephone network (PSTN) blinks out of existence, carriers are left wondering what will become of it's by-product: the telephone number. Will it go down with the ship, or will it become the life raft — connecting islands of communications?
I called on Voxbone's vice president of Strategic Alliances, Hugh Goldstein, to answer this question. He took part in a panel discussion yesterday at ITEXPO in Las Vegas on the future of the phone number. Here's what he had to say:
How will telephone numbers be common denominators between networks?
Hugh Goldstein: Voxbone has a big vested interest in this question because we've built a business around telephone numbers. The thing is that telephone numbers are very useful, yet they're linked to this legacy system that a lot of thought leaders in the industry believe will eventually go away. So there's a big debate from people at industry conferences on what the future will look like for telephone numbers. For the next 10-20 years, I expect everyone is going to continue to see telephone numbers in their daily lives. Part of the reason is that it's the common denominator between networks. When we have islands of IP communications we can use any [connector] you like — some SIP networks use email-address-like identifiers. If you have a provider, whether it be an over-the-top (OTT) service like Skype, or you have an enterprise that's built its own private network, they can use [that identifier language] within their own island. But when they want to go outside of that island, the telephone number is the common denominator. That's what everyone uses to find the destination for a call to make communication work.
What might be the long term solution for connecting disparate communication systems?
Goldstein: Long term, there might be other systems that become popular. But at this point in time it's difficult for any one new paradigm to really take a strong position unless there is a huge critical mass of customers just getting on board with it. Even though Skype has many hundreds of millions of users, there's not any big push to make a Skype ID the new telephone number, because it's attached to one individual company and it's proprietary. Telephone numbers are international, regulated — the property of countries essentially — and they're managed by international organizations regulators, so they're viewed as being neutral. That's a very strong attribute, even though we're seeing lots of ideas come about. It's still the telephone number that sits in front of a lot of IP services today.
Why might telephone numbers be replaced?
Goldstein: If there's a complaint about telephone numbers, it's that they're not that easy to remember by people. People prefer language-based things. [But] if that's the complaint of telephone numbers, an IP address of the length of IPv6 complexity would be worse. We all have lots of other different identifiers that are useful for us, like Facebook names, email addresses, [and] Skype names, but the telephone number is something that can link everything together.
How are telephone numbers being used as the common denominator between networks today?
Goldstein: One thing we find in our business [for OTT providers] is that businesses like to have numbers in different geographies. It's something that helps them deal with global markets. So if you run a business in L.A. and you sell to people in Japan, France and Brazil, [and] if you only put an L.A. number there, it's still difficult for people around the world to call an L.A. number. It's a perceived economic barrier. Not everyone's phone plans allows them to call international. Some of them feel reluctant to dial that international number. Maybe there's perceived language issues. But let's say in that scenario they put a Japanese, French and Brazilian number up on their webpage — that opens up the game and allows people in those markets to call and interact to do business with them. [For] Voxbone and other OTT providers like us, the cost to add numbers like that … is very low. So a lot of over-the-top and hosted PBX providers, I think they've found this as something that customers like. For their businesses, it's a way to increase the average revenue per user, because that business is very competitive based on price, so there's a certain amount that you can realistically charge for a phone line and voicemail. But now with international numbers, suddenly that customer in L.A. is [saying;] 'I'll upgrade my account, and I'll add the number in Tokyo, Rio and Paris, and they see a lot of value in doing that. That's what's happening today and that illustrates to an extent why [phone] numbers are still very important.
