We might have dispelled the myth that Sugar causes hyperactivity in children and we're not buying into the 'toxic sugar' hype, but it is still of course a good plan to keep our sugar, and obviously chocolate, intake in check (especially if you're falling short of your recommended intake from the 5 food groups).
Although chocolate eggs are traditional and we all love an Easter egg hunt, moderation is the key to a healthy, happy Easter that doesn't end in chocolate OD. So here are just a few ideas for alternative Easter goodies that the kids will love:
Healthy Easter ideas:
In our house the Easter Bunny breaks up his (or her) Easter eggs with a few other little goodies. Over the years in their Easter baskets the kids have found:
- Plastic eggs, filled with … well anything, you might get away with dried fruit for littlies, stickers, a gold coin, those cute fluffy little chicken toys or other trinkets. Even popping a few smarties in there will mean they still get to have chocolate but its portion controlled (using these plastic eggs, is also a good tip if you're planning an egg hunt outside but are worried about the family pooch helping themselves – chocolate is a big No No for dogs).
- There are also some really cute cardboard Easter egg hunt kits around. We used one similar to the this (pic right) at our playgroup this year. It came with baskets, eggs, signs and craft.
- A disposable electric tooth brush. This is a standard Easter bunny gift in our house. It's a little piece of mind for me and a subtle reminder to the kids that too much sugar isn't good for their teeth. I might sound like a fun sponge but the kids do get a kick out of these novelty toothbrushes with their favourite characters on them.
- Easter balloons. Seriously who doesn't love a big bouncy air filled sack, especially if its shaped like a cute bunny or chicken =) If you want to go with this option I am sure a florist will be able to accommodate.
- Winter PJ's. Coming into the cooler months, it makes sense that this is a classic Easter gift.
- New lunchbox containers. Again coming into the cooler months, I like to send warm lunches to school, so this is a good opportunity to stock up on insulated containers or other cute novelties. Last year the kids go Theroms Funtainers and this year I got Stainless steel containers and Lunch wraps (I am working on reducing our plastic a little).
- Cute Easter craft kit and stories are another great alternative and gives you a nice way to spend time together too.
- Easter is all about new life, so seasonal seeds and seedlings make as much sense as a chocolate egg for Easter (actually probably more).
Being a festive time of year it is always nice to think of others too so try buying alternative Easter gifts at places like Oxfam. They have some great Easter stuff that is all the more meaningful as it helps the less fortunate (actually I shop at Oxfam for a lot of gifts). And always look for fair trade chocolate.
Hope you all have a Happy, Healthy Easter!

The Person At Work: John And Diana Edwards, Shoot II
A few days after reviewing my previous contact sheets and working prints, I decided to return to the boat yard in Penryn to re-shoot John and Diana Edwards. Above are a few of the working prints I have produced so far - taken on a Minolta 7000 AF - they are to be analysed properly by my tutor, Guy, on Monday's Crit session. Having said this, I am extremely pleased with the results of this shoot, even more so than the previous.
I have also done a separate shoot with the Falmouth Harbour Commissioners, spending half a day on one of their Pilot Boats (see:http://www.falmouthport.co.uk/commercial/index.php), however I am not so confident about the results of that shoot as the conditions were not ideal for taking pictures and the action was not that exciting. I will scan the negs nonetheless.
Tomorrow I will be spending the day photographing a local Police Community Support Officer, so will have lots more material to come...

On this Eid-ul-fitr, Pakistan's National TV, PTV, aired a program by the name 'Hasna Mana Hai' in which a poet named Jawad Hassan Jawad made fun of Pukhtuns and humiliated them. In his poetry, he labelled them as Terrorists, Smugglers, Naswar-eaters and stinking creatures.
I am not surprised to see and hear ridicule and derision of Pukhtuns. This is definitely not the first incident. We have been laughed at, ridiculed, caricatured, depicted as terrorists, looked-down upon in this Land of the Pure, promoted as Truck Drivers, Chowkidars, Nokars, Stupid and dumb creatures, and as Narrow minded aliens, as Mullahs, as Pedophiles and what not!
Punjabi Ethnocentrism has already led to the breakage of Pakistan in 1971. They can be frequently seen mocking Baluchs, FATA's and now KP's people and their cultures. They think they are better than us, the Pukhtuns. I cannot figure if this is inferiority complex or superiority complex. They forget to see their ugly faces in the mirror. They know they are not better than us, they know it! That is the very raison d'être of their hatred. This hatred is been reflected in every aspect of our life in this country, on a daily basis, right from the inception till date. I don't know what to call ourselves, – Cowards, may be or Indecisive? We seem to have nerves of steel to be capable of tolerating this nonsensical abasement for 70 years now. They did the very same to Bangalis, too.
Either they don't know anything about the history of Pukhtuns or know a lot about it. In either case, they know they aren't better than us.
Father of the Pukhtuns, Qais Abdur Rashid, did bait on the hands of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) himself and converted to Islam. Can you match his honor, O Punjabi brethren?
Qais also married the daughter of the greatest of Muslim military commanders, Khalid Bin Walid. Can you even imagine matching this honor in the farthest of your thoughts?
We are smugglers, right? Firstly, those are Aghanis that do smuggling across the border not Pakistani Pukhtuns. But lets not haggle about it, and granted we are Smugglers. Lets say we smuggle TVs and Cars at most, right? What did your Punjabis do to the whole country? Didn't Nawaz Sharif sell out the whole of Pakistan? Didn't Gen. Shuja Pasha sell out the whole of Pakistan? I think these are bigger deals than mere smuggling and are incidents that are still fresh in the news. I can recount many others of the like.
We are Naswar-khor, right? So what? Pukhtuns are not the only people who consume it – People in most of the Central Asian states, Russia, India and Iran also consume it. In fact, a variant of it is also extremely popular in Sweden, called Snus. Also, Naswar is, like most of the drugs, Western invention, not Pukhtun's. Why should it be associated with the names of Pukhtuns? Merely to humiliate them? It is a drug and should be kept as such not as a tool to make fun of a whole ethnic group.
We are Terrorists! Okay, but what about Punjabi terrorists? The actual creators of this whole terrorism in South Asia? Who are the recruits and master minds of Lashkar e Jhangvi, Sipah e Sahaba, Jaish e Muhammad, Lashkar e Tayyaba, etc. etc. In fact, most of the Daesh's recruits and master minds come from Punjab. Not only that, we have seen, in recent past, many of them have been involved in hideous activities like terrorism and sexual harassment etc. in the Western and Middle Eastern countries.
We are Pedophiles, right? But every now and then, we see in the news the Punjabi Pedophiles raping little girls and boys, often times killing them after. In fact, most of the times, the heinous criminals used to record videos of rape, and sell it online. Recent cases like Sargodha and Kasur porn scandals are merely tip of the iceberg.
We are Chowkidars? Yes, proudly so! We have been your Chowkidars for the last 70 years since your army is unable to do their bit of Chowkidari. It takes balls to do Chowkidari. You don't have them. On and off, Kashmir ki Chowkidari – Pukhtuno ki Zimadari. When you sense a fight between India and Pakistan is about to happen, we often see Punjabi-controlled media showing the most patriotic and loyal-to-the-land Pukhtuns, telling us to find them in the front ranks to fight against the enemy, exciting them to fight for them in case of war. There is a very thin line between Madness/Stupidity and extreme Gallantry and Patriotism. We call it gallantry and patriotism, Punjabis call it Stupidity. Its a matter of perspective actually!
I can go on and on for the rest of stereotypes (about Pukhtuns) as well but will call it a day!
I can stereotype Punjabis as non-observant of Fasts, as free Farters, as obsessed dancers who dance to biscuits, to detergents, to soaps, to shampoos, to mobile products, to the new crop, to agri-products, even to funerals, as greenish-yellow skinned sub-humans, who regularly eat dogs and donkeys, who indulge in child pornography, and commit child molestation etc. etc. but won't say anything more than that!
At the time when the country needs unity and oneness, Punjabis are dividing it, making schisms after schisms, deriding other ethnic groups, making them the subject of their jests, discriminating against them as each and every level and in every possible way. At the time when our motherland needs us to unite as one people, Punjabis are dividing us into different nations. At the time when our country's alienated people need to be wooed over back, welcomed back into the folds and laps of this beautiful land, appeased and deemed as equal Pakistanis, Punjabis are hell bent on destroying the very fabric of the state from which it was tailored by fostering the seeds of hatred, – also sown by them.
It is high time we come together as one people, as Pakistanis! Unless and until that happens, we will continue to play in the hands of the enemies, using us against each other for their own designs. But for that to happen, we should heartily accept each other and try to spread love instead of hatred, observe unity instead of strife, and harmony instead of dissonance!
Finally PEMRA should take notice of this and make the poet apologize on TV.

My new Club Scrap kit arrived and the colors of Dahlia make me so happy!
They're so vibrant you just have to see them in person!
What I really fell in love with is the big dahlia stamp!
You'll be seeing a lot of this stamp this week because I was trying different techniques with my Color Bursts.
Club Scrap papers, stamps tag, ribbon and jewel.
Here I painted the color busts in water directly on to the stamp and then stamped. The second stamping came out more defined but I really like the watery look to this one. The mothers quote is perfect timing to complete those Mother's Day cards. I wonder if they do that on purpose...

If the first Christians were Catholic, it was because of their threefold prayer life (Acts 2:42) seen as the total, systematic means for repentence and baptismal reality taught by Saint Peter and the Apostles. That is the template, or Regula (Rule), of Catholic life; the threefold Regula orders the repeatable dimensions of Baptism by which we repent. The Book of Common Prayer, being a Regula inherited primarily from the tradition of Saint Benedict, also orders in a unique way such a comprehensive corporate response, with emphases of its own yet leaving nothing fundamental out. Therefore Catholic renewal within Anglican parochial tradition, that is, Catholic Anglican vitality, demands a more profound embrace of the total life of obedience ordered by Prayer Book heritage. Veni, Creator Spiritus.
"Because worship is the well-spring of all our activity, it is essential that we grow in our understanding and practice of personal prayer and corporate devotion. A cherished part of our heritage in the Anglican Communion is the Book of Common Prayer, which is a bond of unity between us and which provides the forms whereby we live the life of the Catholic Church
—Lambeth Conference 1958 Encyclical Letter of the Bishops
"So it is that the Benedictine Way really underlies the Book of Common Prayer, where the same trinity of liturgy, office and personal prayer is found for the joy of us all."
—Archbishop Michael Ramsey, 15 July 1965 at Nashdom Abbey
"The Prayer Book system embodies the ethos of our Church which is founded on scripture, interpreted by tradition, which is not only articulated by the catholic creeds (perhaps more commonly used in the Prayer Book liturgies than in any other liturgical regime) but which is also expressed by the spirit-filled continuity of life in the Church and the ways in which we have sought together to respond to the demands of successive generations."
—Bishop Richard Chartres from "Afterword" in The Book of Common Prayer: Past, Present, and Future, edited by Prudence Dailey. London: Continuum, 2011

Melody of the Eight Types of Nonduality
By Gyalwa Götsangpa
Namo Guru!
The precious Lord embodies enlightenments five dimensions.
I prostrate to and praise this Precious One
Who dispels the darkness of wanderers suffering
With nondual, great, everlasting bliss.
Wonderful visions of yidam deities and
Fearsome apparitions of obstructing demons are
Not separable within the pure expanse
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!
Obtaining high rebirth or liberation and
Falling into the three unhappy destinations are
Not separable within the pure expanse
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!
The mind busy with perceived and perceiver and
The peaceful state of nonconceptuality are
Not separable within the pure expanse
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!
Complete happiness and comfort and
Overwhelming pain and suffering are
Not separable within the pure expanse
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!
Being well-respected and worshipfully served and
Being derisively laughed at and beaten are
Not separable within the pure expanse
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!
Wandering alone in mountain retreats and
Traveling the countries of the world are
Not separable within the pure expanse
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!
Having the finest food and drink and
Living in hunger without nourishment are
Not separable within the pure expanse
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!
Not crashing the ground with your skull and
Taking birth again and again are
Not separable within the pure expanse
So! How joyful! How happy! Sudden Victory!
This is the melody of the eight types of nonduality;
I have but a mere understanding of what true union is;
Not falling into confusion is very important.

Two Questions That Could Change Your Life
What is
happening right now?
Can I be with it?
"For most of us, the first time we shift from resistance to expansion just by accepting what's already happening, there's a similar 'aha.' Once that occurs, and we're motivated to continue with self-inquiry, we see that we're in some degree of resistance almost all the time."

them only when there is no more self-importance left in them. Only
when they are nothing do they become everything.

a stone is as valuable as a sacred book.

May Fall on Desert Arts Festival
By Rene
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, May 18, 2003; Page A02
Revelers who come by the thousands every summer to Nevada's Black Rock Desert for the Burning Man Festival call it a celebration like none other, a surreal spectacle of counterculture art and play that features everything from spiritual drum-banging to dancing naked around fires.
But their wild party may be over.
A few days ago, Washoe County, which hosts the event, refused to allow Burning Man organizers to create a permanent staging facility for it.
For several years, the weeklong festival has been held on a desolate desert plain about 100 miles north of Reno. It drew 30,000 people last summer, and has become so big that organizers say they need a place to store supplies and vehicles, house dozens of volunteers and build their large and unusual props.
They bought 200 acres of land in the country two years ago just for that purpose. But some residents fear the proposed site would be a sprawling junkyard that saps limited water supplies and threatens public safety.
County leaders who blocked plans for the staging area say they are not trying to shut down the festival. "We support it," said Mike Wolterbeek, a county spokesman. "They'll just have to find another way to have it."
But festival organizers say finding another staging site may be impossible. They are contemplating filing a lawsuit to keep it.
The Burning Man Festival blossomed in San Francisco. In its early days, organizers there lugged all they needed to the Nevada desert. But Larry Harvey, a festival director, told the Reno Gazette-Journal that's no longer an option. "We're done being Californians who trucked the entire city over the Sierra," he said.

There are bees in every hive with inherent imperfections: they cannot navigate from the directions given by others. They fly off everywhere. They are always getting lost. They never gather much pollen. Yet, by an incongruous twist of fate, these bees can still dance directions to others. And so, they occasionally return from their misguided wanderings with delirious gospel of what they have found. Good god, what they have found! It is the lost bee who finds new flowers.

A New Slice on Physics
By K.C.
Times Staff Writer
May 17, 2003
Plato considered it first.
What if everything we hold dear is but a thin slice of some larger, unreachable reality, like a flickering shadow cast on the craggy wall of a cave? What if the moon and stars, your home, your thoughts, your cat, are but projections on this wall mere suggestions of unfathomable realms beyond?

Live Journal
I would
like to offer two proposals for the Matrix which could
have saved it from the dour "boys philosophy" it got mired in.
One will be a fine excerpt from C S Lewis and the other David
Bohm the speculative physicist. And invite your thought and
~ ~ ~
1) From THE GREAT DIVORCE: C S LEWIS
"I saw
a great assembly of gigantic forms all motionless, all
in deepest silence,standing forever around a little silver
table and looking upon it and on the table were little silver
figures like chessmen who went to and fro doing this and that.
And I knew that each chessman was the 'idolum' or puppet
representative of some one of the great presences that stood
by. And the acts and motions of each chessman were a moving
portrait, a mimicry or pantomine, which delineated the inmost
nature of its gigantic master. And these chessmen are men and
women as they appear to themselves and to one another in the
world. And the silver table is Time. And those who stand and
watch are the immortal souls of those same men and women..Then
vertigo and terror seized me..."
(2) This
to quantum theory, Bohm's basic assumption is that
"elementary particles are actually systems of extremely
complicated internal structure, acting essentially as
amplifiers of *information* contained in a quantum wave." As a
conseqence, he has evolved a new and controversial theory of
the universe--a new model of reality that Bohm calls the
"Implicate Order."
The theory
of the Implicate Order contains an ultraholistic
cosmic view; it connects everything with everything else. In
principle, any individual element could reveal "detailed
information about every other element in the universe." The
central underlying theme of Bohm's theory is the "unbroken
wholeness of the totality of existence as an undivided flowing
movement without borders."
During the
early 1980s Bohm developed his theory of the
Implicate Order in order to explain the bizarre behavior of
subatomic particles--behavior that quantum phyicists have not
been able to explain. Basically, two subatomic particles that
have once interacted can instantaneously "respond to each
other's motions thousands of years later when they are
light-years apart." This sort of particle interconnectedness
requires superluminal signaling, which is faster than the
speed of light. This odd phenomenon is called the EPR effect,
named after the Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen thought
believes that the bizarre behavior of the subatomic
particles might be caused by unobserved subquantum forces and
particles. Indeed, the apparent weirdness might be produced by
hidden means that pose no conflict with ordinary ideas of
causality and reality.
believes that this "hiddeness" may be reflective of a
deeper dimension of reality. He maintains that space and time
might actually be derived from an even deeper level of
objective reality. This reality he calls the Implicate Order.
Within the Implicate Order everything is connected; and, in
theory, any individual element could reveal information about
every other element in the universe.
ideas from holographic photography, the *hologram*
is Bohm's favorite metaphor for conveying the structure of the
Implicate Order. Holography relies upon wave interference. If
two wavelengths of light are of differing frequencies, they
will interfere with each other and create a pattern. "Because
a hologram is recording detail down to the wavelength of light
itself, it is also a dense *information* storage." Bohm notes
that the hologram clearly reveals how a "total content--in
principle extending over the whole of space and time--is
enfolded in the movement of waves (electromagnetic and other
kinds) in any given region." The hologram illustrates how
"information about the entire holographed scene is enfolded
into every part of the film." It resembles the Implicate Order
in the sense that every point on the film is "completely
determined by the overall configuration of the interference
patterns." Even a tiny chunk of the holographic film will
reveal the unfolded form of an entire three-dimensional
object. Proceeding from his holographic analogy, Bohm proposes a new
order--the Implicate Order where "everything is enfolded into
everything." This is in contrast to the explicate order where
things are unfolded..."
(3) I think
these are the sorts of things the Matrix was
reaching for or would have been if it were a deeper felt and
realized conception...
The problem
perhaps starts with this: that the Matrix sees our
everyday awareness as of a higher level than our "real"
situation, whereas it is surely the more probable that our
everyday reality is the lower and the Reality of the world the
Or in
Lewis' Perelandra, the madman Winston thinks one must
remain in this life which he sees as the "rind" on a world of
blackness into which in dieing one sinks, this delusion is
more or less what the Matrix allows itself. But what is your
feeling? any responses to Lewis or Bohm...or proposals of your
own on this sort of thing? Of course I may be underrating the
thought behind the films and have put it in an opinionated way
partly to invite discussion if anyone out there is a Matrix
geek who can set us right!
of Enlightenment
attributed to Ch'an Master Yongjia Xuanjue (7th cent.)
When the Dharma body awakens completely,
There is nothing at all.
The source of our self-nature
Is the Buddha of innocent truth.
Mental and physical reactions come and go
Like clouds in the empty sky;
Greed, hatred, and ignorance appear and disappear
Like bubbles on the surface of the sea.
When we realize actuality,
There is no distinction between mind and thing
And the path to hell instantly vanishes.
Once we awaken to the Tathagata-Zen,
The six noble deeds and the ten thousand good actions
Are already complete within us.
In our dream we see the six levels of illusion clearly;
After we awaken the whole universe is empty.
No bad fortune, no good fortune, no loss, no gain;
Never seek such things in eternal serenity.
For years the dusty mirror has gone uncleaned,
Now let us polish it completely, once and for all.

BUYERS' GUIDE LIVINGROOM LIFESTYLE WIRELESS MULTIROOM SYSTEMS MARKET Smart Audio Systems which provide mutiroom functionality on a wireless basis and therefore music throughout the house from one single system show strong demand by consumers. The market generated in "Europe 10" a total revenue of €277m in the 1st half of 2016 which is a 26% higher in value compared to the same period in 2015. Music streaming from different devices and the growing popularity of online music streaming services are further pushing the market for these systems. Streaming Hardware: In total the market for streaming enables devices is showing a strong growth. This market segment includes multi-room systems as well as wireless speakers and all kind of audio products with streaming capabilities. The market generated a total revenue in Germany of €948m in the past 12 months alone with a plus of 30% in value. The most important streaming technology is Bluetooth with a share of 86% based on all devices sold in the first half of 2016 in Germany. CONTACT Bettina Steinbrenner Marketing Manager Consumer Electronics GfK Retail and Technology email@example.com STATE OF PLAY The past couple of years the sale of multi-room audio systems has been growing rapidly, and has in fact been the fastest growing audio segment in the industry. But this growth is slowing down somewhat, although the segment still has huge potential over the coming years, with over 90m units set to be shipped by 2020 according ABI Research. INNOVATIONS TO LOOK FOR AT IFA COMPATIBILITY A major step could be made to integrate multiroom audio with other smart home devices or controlling apps. The main USP for the future will be that of managing the audio and smart home devices from one platform instead of different apps. INNOVATING @ IFA DESIGN Speakers have to fit in every room and must be natural part of our daily lives. To integrate even more in our rooms, multi room speakers should have sleek, tasteful design. The design element is thus becoming an even more essential element for buyers. PRODUCT SUPPORT While one big player has in the past led the market, newcomers have had to learn to build apps and adapt the user experiences gained from the feedback on test apps. It has taken some years but eventually we are seeing better apps and product support. Also, product updates will be available for older multi room products. Product support is thus even more vital as a selling point today. Our thanks to Wouter Diemer - EISA Member - Editor in Chief Media Totaal - The Netherlands for his input. IZZY BY PHILIPS izzy lets you connect via Bluetooth and share your music throughout home and garden with the tap of one button. Play music on one izzy speaker and press 'Group' button to play the same music on other in-range izzy speakers.

Today, it is still expensive for the majority of the European consumers to fully equip their homes with a multiroom audio system. Manufactures are not sharing all their data, but it appears that most of the people buy only one speaker or sound bar just for the living room. Network connectivity is already a feature in a great number of audio products. The next small step is to connect different audio devices together for them to be multi-room enabled. PANASONIC SC-ALL05 SING-ALONG IN THE SHOWER Panasonic presents an expanded line-up of multi-room audio units that includes the waterproof SC-ALL05. With a six-hour, built-in battery, users can enjoy quality connected audio in the bathroom or kitchen without having to worry about splash damage - or even accidentally dropping the speaker in water.

Honda Civic Concept previews all-new 2012 remake
While offering no mechanical details, Honda has provided this early look at what we can expect to at least see in the all-new 2012 Civic. The automaker says this teaser sketch of a Civic Concept that it will formally reveal next month in Detroit indicates the "styling direction" to be found in the production model that's set to arrive at dealers here in the spring. Its bolder lines and more aggressive bodywork details display a clear CR-Z influence, a factor that should help raise the 2012 Civic's profile among more youthful buyers in what has become an ultra-competitive market segment. We'll just have to wait to see exactly how much of that newfound flash actually makes it to the volume-build product, which is expected to continue offering both coupe and sedan body styles.

New trailer released for True Memoirs of an International Assassin
So a trailer has just been released for the Netflix action/comedy (though both those words might need to have quotation marks around them) TRUE MEMOIRS OF AN INTERNATIONAL ASSASSIN. It stars Kevin James as a fiction author who sells his book to a publisher, which the publisher then titles as a "true memoir" of an assassin rather than the fictional story it was supposed to be. This leads to terrorists thinking the author is himself an assassin, getting him involved in real espionage.
The trailer is below:
Um, okay. So it doesn't look terrible, just super forgetable. I literally just saw this a minute ago, and I can't remember one single action beat or joke aside from Andy Garcia throwing a knife at Kevin James' chest while he yells in pain "You brought a knife to a gunfight!". And that was a chuckle at best.
My main problem is the same problem with HERE COMES THE BOOM - Kevin James is just secretly a badass. It would be more interesting if he found a way to outsmart or use a skill he actually possesses to defeat the villains than simply "I was always a badass and somehow didn't know it". It's probably part of a half-assed self-realization arc, but it still feels cheap and lazy.
But, like I said, it doesn't look pants-shittingly awful (which applies, literally, to shit like RIDICULOUS 6) and could be a good time-killer if you're bored, lazy, and need to stave off that ever encroaching feeling of existential dread.
TRUE MEMOIRS OF AN INTERNATIONAL ASSASSIN, co-starring Andy Garcia and Rob Riggle, will start streaming November 11th, 2016.

WorkSafe Update: Registration of No Go Zone Spotters:
This week, Steve Darnley from WorkSafe's Construction Practices Unit discusses the registration requirements for No Go Zone spotters.
Recently, a number of unregistered people have been discovered acting or proposing to act as No Go Zone spotters for earth-moving equipment working near overhead power lines. All No Go Zone spotters need to be registered with EnergySafe Victoria (ESV) and hold an ESV spotter's registration card before they undertake spotting duties. Spotters are only allowed to spot for the type of powered mobile plant listed on their ESV registration card.
However, if the person has completed the required training, has the relevant first aid and plant operation qualifications necessary for ESV registration (listed below), and has applied for registration, they can undertake spotting prior to being issued a registration card. If spotting prior to receiving an ESV registration card, there needs to be proof readily available of training and relevant qualifications, plus an application in process for ESV registration.
ESV registration is valid for three years, and to retain their registration, the spotter needs to undertake a "Spotters Refresher" training course. To be eligible for spotter registration with ESV, a person needs to…
- Successfully complete the training course "Workplace Spotting for Service Assets" at a Registered Training Organisation (RTO); and
- Hold and maintain First Aid Level 2 (with current CPR).
They also need to have one or more of the following qualifications…
- Mobile plant operator's qualification (e.g. high risk work licence, operator's ticket or certificate of competency); or
- Dogman or rigger high risk work licence; or
- Successfully complete the Civil Construction Federation training "Assessment for Spotters" for civil construction workers who are not plant operators.
Applications for spotter registration are made on behalf of the trainee by the RTO which delivered the Spotting training. The RTO can only apply for registration if the trainee also has the required First Aid and plant operation qualifications listed above.
No Go Zones:
The following No Go Zone Awareness training course is now available: Working Safely Near Overhead and Underground Assets (No. 22195 VIC). This course is accredited by the Victorian Qualifications Authority (VQA).
People wanting to obtain this training should contact the training division of CCF, Civil Train on (03) 9822 0900.
We encourage all CCF Members to use their training vouchers as part of their Membership with us. These vouchers offer Members a discount of $100 off any scheduled training course offered with CCF Victoria.
Note: Vouchers are valid until 31 August, 2015.

The Rongai route is one of the least frequented of the official Kilimanjaro routes. The upside of this is that there will be few other climbers about and for most of the trek you are walking through virgin wilderness and awe inspiring scenery. The downside is that one of the reasons it is quiet is because the topography of this route doesn't make it easy to acclimatise as you can't easily follow the "climb high, sleep low" principle. To combat this we add an acclimatisation day at Mawenzi Tarn.
Lying in the rain shadow of Kilimanjaro, the Rongai route is one of the best routes to make the attempt on Kilimanjaro during the rainy season, as it sees substantially less rain than the southern routes.
Starting from the Rongai gate, the route traverses several diverse climate zones, and each produces its own amazing views and experiences. Throughout the early trek, Kilimanjaro looms overhead dramatically and at higher altitudes you are rewarded with incredible sights finally ending with the 360 degree view from the top of Uhuru Peak.
As the descent is along the more heavily travelled Marangu route this trek offers you the chance to see Mount Kilimanjaro from both sides, and to experience nearly everything this unique and beautiful region has to offer.
The Rongai route is considered to be one of the easier routes up Kilimanaro. The climb is both gradual and steady. However, the Rongai Route does not have a great climb high sleep low profile which makes it arguably more difficult than the Machame or Lemosho routes. The 7 day option is recommended as it allows for better acclimatization. This ascent route does not require technical climbing but the trails are strenuous and a good level of physical fitness is required.
If you don't fancy climbing the Great Barranco Wall then this is the route for you!
The questions and answers below are specific to the Rongai route climb. For more general questions about climbing Kilimanjaro see here.
The exact trekking distance for the Rongai Route is 72km or 44 miles.
The summit success rates for the Rongai Route are greatly increased with the longer itinerary option. Whilst there are no official statistics, the average success rate across all operators is 80% for the 7 day trek and a 65% success rate for the 6 day trek. However, Kandoo have a 90% summit success rate for both Rongai route itineraries.
The Rongai Route is the only route that approaches the summit from the north side of Kilimanjaro. Therefore, the scenery is one of unspoiled wilderness. There is a higher chance of seeing wildlife on this route than any other. After passing through rainforest you ascend through moorlands and then up into the high alpine zones before reaching the glacial zone.
You will be met by a Kandoo driver at Kilimanjaro airport, who will take you to your hotel in Moshi.
Our first day on the mountain itself begins with registration at Marangu Park Gate, then transportation by road to the Rongai Trailhead, where we will meet up with our porters. Our trek proper starts at Nale Moru village, following a winding trail through planted fields before a gentle climb through pine forest. We'll make camp for the night at First Cave, which is at approximately 2600 metres of altitude.
On day three we'll rejoin the same foot trail and continue towards Kibo. We'll climb steadily past Second Cave Camp before reaching Kikelewa Camp where we will stop for the night. This will mark one of the first really good views of Kilimanjaro and finally give us a sense of just how high this trek will take us.
Day four takes us into the wilderness proper, after a short, steep climb up sloping grassland. As we leave the vegetation behind we are rewarded with amazing 360 degree views, especially for the last leg before reaching camp at Mawenzi Tarn.
Camp is set in a cirque huddled beneath Mawenzi Peak far above. Nonetheless, it is a respectable 4330 metres above sea level, and you will have the afternoon free to explore a bit and become better acclimatised.
We will spend a full day at and around Mawenzi Tarn as part of the acclimatisation process. There will be plenty to do, and our crew will help arrange short excursions to explore the area.
We hit the trail again early on day six, crossing the Saddle between Kibo and Mawenzi peaks before making camp on the wall of Kibo Crater. The landscape of the Saddle is like nothing you've ever seen before, so take time to look around!
The final ascent is early tomorrow, so we rest up and prepare our gear tonight.
This is the big day!
We'll wake just before midnight for a hot drink and a snack, then up we go. The summit attempt is the hardest part of the trek, both mentally and physically.
The route takes us along rocky terrain to Hans Meyer Cave then zig-zags towards Gilman's Point on the very rim of the top crater, 5681 metres above sea level. The Gilman's Point leg is physically demanding as the slope is steeper and the ground under-foot is loose scree. From this point on to the summit you may experience snow.
Next is the summit itself, Uhuru Peak at 5895 metres. Weather permitting, there will be time for well-earned celebrations and picture taking before descending first back to Kibo Hut, then on to Horombo Camp, some 2000 metres below the peak, to spend the night.
This is our last day actually on the mountain. The last leg of the trek could be muddy, so wear gaiters if you brought them. Trekking poles will help too. As the weather will be warm or rainy (or both), you'll want to dress for it.
We'll make your way down to Marangu Park Gate where you will receive your official Kilimanjaro climb certificate. Then we'll take you to your hotel in Moshi for a well-earned rest in a civilised bed.
After a good night's sleep, we'll take you from your hotel to the airport and see you safely on your way.

Standard bed sizes are based on standard mattress sizes, which vary from country to country. Bed sizes also vary according to the size and degree of ornamentation of the bed frame. Dimensions and names vary considerably around the world, with most countries having their own standards and terminology. In addition, two mattresses with the same nominal size may still have slightly different dimensions, due to manufacturing tolerances, amount of padding, and support type.
Memory foam consists mainly of polyurethane as well as additional chemicals increasing its viscosity and density. It is often referred to as "viscoelastic" polyurethane foam, or low-resilience polyurethane foam (LRPu). Higher-density memory foam softens in reaction to body heat, allowing it to mold to a warm body in a few minutes. Newer foams may recover more quickly to their original shape.[1]
A mattress is a large pad for supporting the reclining body, used as a bed or as part of a bed. Mattresses may consist of a quilted or similarly fastened case, usually of heavy cloth, that contains hair, straw, cotton, foam rubber, etc., or a framework of metal springs.[1] Mattresses may also be filled with air[1] or water.

My trip to Seattle was wonderful. We did so many different art projects and got to just hang out.
I drew this picture in Sid's journal and really like it.
We went on a field trip and saw lots of these well dressed trees. Really nice colors. It was a good idea these trees were yarn bombed because look what happened while I was in Seattle...
And this was Sunday afternoon when it was time to say good-bye.
Next time I'll show you some of the things we made.

This means i have to scroll all over the place just to read an email. Is there any way to get fit to screen working? Maybe even zoom out? Thanks!

365 Prophecies: Prophecy 162
When Messiah arrives, many of those who hear and see, will not understand Him.
Old Testament Prediction:
Isaiah 6:9 And He said, "Go, and tell this people: 'Keep on hearing, but do not understand; Keep on seeing, but do not perceive.' 10. Make the heart of this people dull, And their ears heavy, And shut their eyes; Lest they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And return and be healed."
New Testament Fulfillment:
Matthew 13:13-15 "Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: 'Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.' "
Jesus claimed that His rejection by Israel was a fulfillment of Isaiah 6:9.
"And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: "Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive…"
Isaiah does not tell us why the people did not understand Jesus, for this knowledge, we must also read Prophecy 125 and Prophecy 126.
It is true of the human heart that when it comes to spiritual matters, most people are really not that interested. When many people hear a story or illustration from the Bible, very often they could care less about the deeper meaning. For some who have a genuine heart to know who God is—when a parable or illustration is recited, an earnest desire springs up to understand the depth of the story.
David described the teaching style of the Messiah as veiled in parables—which causes the casual listener to walk away, and the sincere seeker to search deeper.
Prophecy 125, Psalms 78:2 "I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old…"
Jesus fulfilled the words of David:
Matthew 13:34-35 All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world."
When a human being thinks, he does so by the use of pictures, not words. Words communicate truth, but the mind conveys these truths to the heart by images of the objects that are perceived. When truths are communicated by common objects that are familiar to us, we see a picture of this object in our mind. It is then that we can ponder these representations and understand how they relate to the story that is being told. The Bible describes Jesus as the Creator of all thing (Colossians 1:17). Therefore, when He teaches, He will often use a parable that contains these common objects of life—to reveal a hidden truth about the kingdom of God that He has brought to earth.
These commonly understood principles, such as how seeds are planted and grow, are taken and expounded upon to show us a heavenly truth.
For the casual listener who hears a parable being spoken, there is a choice to be made—either to ponder the deeper meaning of what is being said or to walk away perplexed and uninterested.
Jesus described the reason why He spoke by the use of parables, as a method to separate the sincere from the insincere. Those who were searching for the truth of God, with all of their heart, would hear the stories Jesus taught and then search out the deeper meaning.
Isaiah prophesied that when the Messiah arrived, He would use this method of teaching—for the very purpose that Jesus describes:
"All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world."
Today, most of the people who hear the words of Jesus, ignore Him and deny His claim upon their life. They reach their conclusions apart from knowledge, because of their unwillingness to seek truth and follow the evidence to its conclusion. Those who have an agenda to continue in the life they have chosen, are not interested in the words of Jesus. Only those who recognize their need for God and are willing to search for Him with all of their heart—will find Him.
Jeremiah 29:13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.
Those who hear the words of Jesus and fervently desire to know God, find His identity by sincerity and diligence.
For a complete list of all the Parables taught by Jesus in the New Testament, see the chapter in this book: The Parables of the Messiah

Ill update with a picture laterr;
but with practices in the summer, and feeling naked without makeup in public (anyone else like this?) i had to come up with a way to look like im not wearing makeup, but to cover up any skin issues, and enhance what your momma gave you.
So! This look wont sweat off unless (like yesterday) the heat index is above 105.
Start with a clean face pleasee!! Ik we all hate getting up at 6am for your 7 oclock practice, but washing really does help. Tone, and moisturize (i use aloe when i know im going to be sweating later)
1.)BB cream! Missha M Perfect Cover has spf 40, and also is the only bb cream ive used so i cant reccomend another one, but this one really does work. It has great coverage and really does what it says. Then powder;;actually just do your preferred skin care. But this tend to work great and takes 2 seconds.
2. Tight line your eyes - using wter proof liner! I found rimmel london works well ands cheap. Just be sure to use a little line - too much and the extra just runs.
Extra: If you have blue eyes,try a dark blue. Green, dark green. Brown, use black orr dark brown - basicly take your color and find the closest thing to black in it(: It really brings out any color in your eyes or makes them shine.
3. White eyeliner!! Itll help keep the top in place, and make your eyes so much brighter.
4.Mascara timee - your gonna need to use a water proof one. The yellow volumizing Maybelline NewYork (Volume Express?) works well.
Hair in a pony and your sett!!(: No shadows,etc. Eyebrows - stay away from shadows but if you need to fill yours in then do your best to make it lightt.This makeup helps make you look pretty - but no one can scoff at you for wearing makeup, and it wont just sweat right off. Save the bottom eyeliner for school - or if practice is after school then you might factor that into your makeup routine in the morning.
Have fun at the gym, running, sweating, being part of the team. Cause remember, your only as strong as your weakest link(:
PS if you have a sunburn,use cold water and use aloe as a moistruizer - but i wouldnt use toner! it dries my skin out - but whatever floats your boat(: Sunscreen is soo important for your skin! I normally hide from the sun if i can to protect my skin, but you obviously cant do that if you have practice. So suck it up, take the tan youll inevitably get butt using uva/uvb protection will help(:

For many people, a vacation is the largest single expense that they have in the calendar year. Some folks have to save up for months, or even years, before being able to finally plan and pay for their dream adventure travel trip or bucket list trip. Giving that much time and attention to what is ultimately an intangible purchase shouldn't be taken lightly. With that in mind, we wanted to give you a little feedback on who we are and why we do what we do, and what The Escape Artist Difference truly is.
So Many Options
Travel is a 7 Trillion Dollar worldwide industry. Let that number soak in a bit. When you have an industry that size, there are certain to be many different options for you, the consumer. Some are niche and stick with one thing and do it great. Others go with the "Jack of all trades, master of none" philosophy. Some focus on only cruises and others on all-inclusive properties. I can go on an on!
Heck, you don't even have to pick up the phone any longer and you can book an entire vacation in about 5 minutes!
And while the big online travel shops aren't going out of business any time soon, do you think it is worth making your largest investment and never even speaking to a human during the process? Do you want to take the risk, plus all the time, doing all of your own research on a property or multiple properties?
If We Don't Touch It, We Don't Sell It
This is a big one here. Every destination that our company sells, we have been to. We have spent a ton of time and money inspecting properties and tours, and interviewing ground operators and guides. I challenge you to see if the average travel agent can say the same. (Hint: They can't.) This is a very important thing for us, because we feel it is business critical to know the destination from a first hand standpoint. When you really think about it, it makes perfect sense, but believe me, we are rare in being able to confidently claim this!
How is your agent booking you a trip to Argentina when he/she has never been? By flipping through brochures and price sheets? There really isn't anything authentic about that!
We Cater to the Traveler, Not the Tourist
Ok, so what does that mean? What we are trying to convey is that we feel travel is more than just going somewhere new, but rather experiencing the country as it was intended. Our focus is on experiential travel. Experiential travel, or cultural immersion is a form of travel in which the traveler focuses on truly experience and connect to the land, history, culture and people.
When you return from your trip, we want you to be enriched and revitalized! We want you to become a storyteller due to your travels, and frankly, we want your friends jealous of your journey!
We Personalize Everything
When we are approached by a customer about a trip, the fun really begins! We do a sort of interview with you so that we can find out exactly the type of traveler you are, what your goals are for the trip, different excursions that you may be interested in, etc. Heck, we even go so far as to find out what your drink of choice is! The reason we do this, and why it is so critical, is that we don't want any stone unturned and we want to make the trip as enjoyable and smooth as possible.
We like to find out if you are into philanthropy, this was we can give you options to give back to the community you travel to. We want to know if you are a foodie, if you like heart-pumping adventure or if this trip is about relaxation. "Are you into architecture and ruins, or does it just bore you to death?" Maybe you are interested in a local cooking class or visiting local wineries. The purpose of this brief meeting is to get a firm understanding on what it will take to build you an itinerary that will leave you as excited about Day 2 as you are Day 5!
We Don't Stop Caring
With The Escape Artist, our job isn't over until you are back home from your travels. As we know your flight information, we are constantly monitoring flight arrival times here in the States and our operations team is doing the same in your arrival country. We require multiple courtesy checks throughout your vacation just to make sure that everything is exceeding your expectations. We get alerted if there are any issues whatsoever on your journey, from bad weather to ankle sprains, and we see that everything is taken care of for you!

Back to Basics
Now is the time that we should be focusing on making the best fucking possible blog. That means stories that aren't merely amusing or anecdotal but downright gut-busting. That also means: if you make pointless and shitty comments, there are some Republican blogs out there wanting to protect fetuses and kill gays (in that order), so let them have an earful and stay off our boards. It means more posts by Kina (who has some perspective as well as the ability to put a cohesive sentence together) and Jordan (who is beautifully profane). Blood-dripping heavy metal counters are all well and good, but we've got to give them a reason to come back, again and again, until climaxing in laughter. (So I wasn't done.)
Let's get back our edge. I think it's great that Jeff loves the blog we created and I appreciate his posts, but exposing it to every-single-fucking-person-in-the-world is obnoxious. Please, for the love of god, let's remember we got into this for the music. And to make fun of Paul.
Welcoming all new fans and kicking out all the useless ones,

2018 — A year of decision ...if things don't fall apart
So Christmas Day has come and gone — hopefully with a bang and not a whimper for you. Of course, "bang" is used in the positive sense here as the year 2017 has witnessed many bangs that have taken hundreds of lives. Indeed, 2017 can be dubbed the Year of the Gun in terms of the many incidents of shootings, many fatal, as well as the record number of guns seized by the police in various operations.
Despite the best intentions of the Andrew Holness-led Administration, inclusive of the introduction of zones of special operations (ZOSO) in Mt Salem and Denham Town, murders most foul have continued unabated. So far, Prime Minister Holness has had to eat his words as a result of his now infamous electioneering promise that if the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) were to be elected to office then citizens would be able to go to bed with their windows, and perhaps even doors, open. No doubt he is now regretting having made that statement, despite his well-intentioned motive, as he has suffered the proverbial fate of "cock mouth kill cock".
Like France at the time leading up to the French Revolution when Charles Dickens wrote one of his famous novels, A Tale of Two Cities, for Jamaica, in 2017, it was the best of times as well as also the worst of times for the country. Tourism, our major foreign exchange earner, soared to new heights, experiencing a record of over four million visitors gracing our shores. This is truly a remarkable feat, and I unhesitatingly name Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett as the Man of the Year, consummate marketer, visionary, and "sweet talker". He has led from in front and given Jamaica a stellar place in the world's hospitality trade.
However, the downside to all of this is that Jamaica has also recorded a staggering number of murders, and what is even more worrisome, St James, of which Minister Bartlett is one of the Members of Parliament, has stood out as the murder capital of Jamaica with over 300 homicides reported.
It is against this background that I am predicting that 2018 will be a year of decision in many respects for this fledgling democracy if things are not to permanently fall apart. There is too much indiscipline in the society, teamed with rampant corruption, non-productivity — a worsening scenario which has seen Jamaica teetering at the precipice of becoming a failing State, if not a failed State.
Prime Minister Holness, if he wishes to be taken seriously, must fulfil his promise of providing job descriptions for his ministers, many of whom have so far attracted failing grades. And now that he has a more comfortable majority in the House of Representatives, he should move post-haste to shuffle his Cabinet and stop relying so heavily on his "kitchen Cabinet".
Where crime and corruption, as well as the rampant lawlessness and disorder, in the country are concerned, he must get his act together and tame that rough beast which the late Wilmot "Motty" Perkins oftentimes alluded to on his talk show, which is shuffling towards Kingston. The number of roadblocks and citizens protests throughout the year from St Thomas in the east to St James in the west has been reminiscent of the Christmas Rebellion of 1865, which saw the oppressed blacks of this country, inspired by the oratory, defiance and courage of National Hero Samuel Sharpe, setting fire to the cane piece in a bid to gain their freedom from "backra massa".
For some time now the Jamaican Government has taken on the appurtenance of "backra massa", and there is beginning to emerge a similar attitude of defiance coming from the Jamaican people that has been saying a plague on both your houses, namely the JLP and the People's National Party. Thus, while Prime Minister Holness tries to cement his hold on the JLP leadership — as well as seeking to provide a winning formula to prolong his stay in Jamaica House — his penchant for Anancy-type politics may well lead to his downfall. He must take the high road and take those important decisions, though unpopular, to ensure sustained economic growth and a Jamaica that is safe and truly prosperous. Public relations gimmickry alone will not do it. He must bell the cat.
In the meantime, PNP and Opposition Leader Dr Peter Phillips is now walking a tight rope and must begin to emerge as a forceful, no-nonsense and visionary "prime minister in waiting" if he is not to face internal rebellion and a consequent rejection by the Jamaican people. He must bring to the fore what the PNP really stands for and what makes it different from the JLP. It cannot be a case of no better herring, no better barrel.
The bottom line is that the Jamaican people are becoming increasingly impatient, and the days of deliverance and "Better Mus' Come" slick campaigns by an Edward Seaga and Michael Manley can no longer cut it. The voter is now asking, with much anger and anxiety: Where is the beef?
Meanwhile, the Church as far as I am concerned, has had a most dismal year in terms of its not being able to effectively and with balance take the moral high ground. Outside of the various pronounced peccadillos by some of its men of the cloth, it must be told that sporadic marches and mass meetings alone cannot help to change the hearts of so many Jamaicans that are hell-bent on paying homage to Satan. The increasing presence of Indian astrologers and obeah workers, not to mention people who are privately becoming devil worshippers would suggest the Church is failing to bring souls to the throne of grace and repentance. This is not an attack on the Church, but it must stop being merely reactive and become proactive. The bottom line is that if Jamaica does not make a dramatic turnaround economically, socially and spiritually, "dawg gwine nyam wi supper". The writing is on the wall, we have been weighed in the balance and found wanting like King Nebuchadnezzar. Mark my words.
On a more positive note, may I use this opportunity and medium to wish everyone a rewarding, safe and fulfilling 2018. Make that also your Year of Decision.

The World Health Organization has released a guide detailing the most effective ways to kill unborn children, with different methods at various stages of the unborn child's development.
Have we become totally immune to the killing of other human beings? That is probably a rhetorical question these days, as taking another person's life, be it in a war zone, on a television show, a movie at the cinema or even a video game for children – all seems quite normal. We have become quite dumbed down to the reality of it all – it's all a game, it is all make believe!
Well maybe it is a game until it happens to someone close to you and then – well it is quite a different matter. I have seen and heard people asking 'how could this have happened'? They were quite shocked – stunned even that a terrible tragedy such as murder / manslaughter could happen to someone close to them.
We really have no one else to blame you know because we have allowed violence, manslaughter, murder…

If That Was A Good Week. . . .
Apparently, President Bush has recently had what is considered by some people to be "the best week" of his second term. Wow! That's really saying something. What's more, according to a recent Zogby International poll, the president's approval numbers "have jumped significantly" as a result of all of this "good news." This seemingly significant jump? All the way to a 36% job approval rating. Imagine! Only 64% of the public think he's doing a lousy job.
The Zogby poll lists a number of the characteristics of this "best week," including:
The death of al-Zarqawi. So much was made of the death of this single individual is begs the question: If it was all about just killing a few people, why the hell did we have to send in the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines? Seemingly, people of Tony Soprano's ilk could have gotten the job done more efficiently.
The surprise visit to Iraq. Why this is perceived as a good thing by the public is hard to understand. The president went to the country and was surrounded more closely by protection than the Bubble Boy. If the Iraqi people were as happy with their liberation as we'd been led to believe by the vice president before the war, wouldn't we expect that he could have been carried on the shoulders of the cheering throngs?
The lack of an indictment of Karl Rove. That's an interesting one. His buddy and confidant isn't going to face the possibility of time in the slam. Is this what politics has sunk to: The belief that because someone is dodging an indictment it is a positive development?
A couple of interesting stats from the Zobgy poll: It found that 59% of "Weekly Wal-Mart Shoppers" feel negative about the president's job, the same number of those in the "Investor Class." That either says something about Wal-Mart or how well the investor class isn't doing.
Additionally, Pew finds most Americans unswayed by that farce of a "debate" last week.
"Despite prevailing in Friday's vote affirming current policy in Iraq, Republicans did not gain public support for their handling of the issue. By 34%-28%, more Americans say they think the Democratic Party, not the Republican Party, can do a better job making wise decisions about what to do in Iraq. The balance of opinion is largely unchanged since February (41% Democratic Party/38% Republican party)."
