Fanteni strike keeps Ajax on top
Posted: 25 November 2007 Time: 18:02
Thembinkosi Fanteni's goal ensured Ajax Cape Town remained at the top of the Absa Premier League when they beat AmaZulu 1-0 at the Princess Magogo Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Urban Warriors dominated the first half, but both teams failed to seriously threaten the other's goal, as Usuthu struggled to match the pace of the league leaders.
The match remained goalless at the break.
Fanteni struck a minute into the second half when he headed home a Brett Evans cross to hand Ajax a deserved lead.
AmaZulu wasted a glorious chance in the 68th minute when they were awarded a penalty, but Pere Ariweriyai sent his effort wide.
The hosts pushed more men forward and almost drew level in the 77th minute when John Moshoeu sent his header crashing against the crossbar.
With that went AmaZulu's final chance of the game as Craig Rosslee's youngsters maintained their position at the summit of the league.

The S&P 500 represents the industry standard for large-cap indices.

While the DJIA is price-weighted and only includes 30 stocks, the S&P 500 uses a weighting system that factors in market cap and the size of a company's free float while including some 500 stocks for a more comprehensive look at the broader markets' performance.

Ward One council member Jim Graham is circulating the following proposed map for a new specially-branded, limited service bus along the lines of the existing Circulator or Metro Express lines. I'm having a hard time evaluating it, because this proposed route involves a very small number of stops, one of which is very close to my house and another of which is very close to my office, so obviously I have a strong personal interest in seeing it adopted:
Dave Alpert has further ideas. Whether or not this route is adopted, I think there's a very strong case for painting (and enforcing!) dedicated bus/bike lanes down the bulk of 14th street. Bus service on that corridor is already fairly frequent and popular, and adding bus lanes would allow us to increase the speed and frequency of bus service at low cost and turn the service into something that's more useful and appealing to the burgeoning population along the corridor.

If there's a magic potion that makes plants grow, water's it.
All plants need it, as any second-grader knows.
It's so basic that you'd think watering would be a simple matter to figure out.
Yet I'd put my money on water issues as the No. 1 killer of plants... not bugs, not disease, not lack of fertilizer, not some mystical "black-thumb" factor, not even groundhogs or deer.
Water is hard to get right.
Under-do it and plants wilt and croak.
Over-do it, and you rot the roots with the same croaked result.
I bring this up because now is such a water fakeout time.
Most water we get this time of year comes from storms – fast and sometimes brutal dumpings like the one we got last Sunday evening instead of daylong gentle soakings.
Three potential problems with that:
1.) Summer storms can be spotty. While Sunday's blast was wide enough to cover the whole area, often a storm will dump 2 inches in one area but nothing a half-mile away.
2.) Summer storms often look like they're delivering more rain than they really do. I can't tell you how many times I've seen heavy winds and heavy rains roll through, only to find a quarter-inch of water in my rain gauge.
3.) The rain can come down so fast that more of it ends up in the basement than around your hydrangea roots.
The summer we're having so far has been a bit sneaky on the water front.
When summers are hot and dry and the lawn goes brown, most people realize that not watering probably is going to lead to dead plants.
But we've had a decent run of spaced-out rain so far this season. Both April and May were ahead of average rainfall, and June was only a little below. Sunday's 1.56-inch dumping put us ahead of July's average.
That's meant that the lawn – the "rain gauge" that many people go by – has stayed mostly green.
Surely there's no need to water anything so long as there's green grass, right?
Wrong... maybe. Grass is shallow-rooted and can stay green with even a fairly light rain every week or so.
At the same time, that new tree you planted in June might have 2 inches of damp mulch but dust 6 to 12 inches underground where it really matters.
I've seen young trees die from lack of water even when people swear they've watered every day. That can happen by frequent shallow waterings that keep wetting the mulch but not much else.
So how do you know if you need to go on hose duty? And if you do, how to you know enough is enough?
You could buy a soil-moisture meter. Or you could invest in one of those new digital probes that send moisture readings wirelessly to your smart phone (when they actually work).
But just as effective as any technology is the one that comes built in with humans – the index finger.
Just stick your finger into the soil a few inches deep in a bed in question and see if it's damp or dry.
Next to trees and shrubs where you need to monitor about 6 to 8 inches down, use a stick or stake.
Really, your watering goal is pretty simple. It's to keep the soil all around and to just below the plant's roots damp.
Rules like, "1 inch of water per week" or "Water a tree for 15 minutes" help, but they're not as useful as finger feedback.
One reason is that water needs vary so much from plant to plant. A shallow annual petunia or a pepper plant benefits more from regular and shallow waterings, while a big-rooted tree or shrub fares better with a deep soaking once or twice a week.
Weather is another variable. Plants go through way more soil moisture when it's hot and windy than when it's cool and cloudy.
Your soil and your water pressure make a difference, too. Sandy soils drain faster than clay soils. Or my hose might put out a lot more water in 15 minutes than yours.
Mulch is another huge variable. Mulched soil dries out less quickly than bare soil. One to 2 inches of mulch is good around flowers; 3 to 4 inches is ideal around trees and shrubs.
When you water, make sure it's going on slow enough that it's not running off. Your sidewalk is drought tolerant and needs no water.
Be patient. It's probably going to take more time and more water than you think to do the deed adequately.
If you're not patient, get a sprinkler or rig up a drip-irrigation system.
After you think you've applied enough, give the water 15 to 30 minutes to soak in. Then do the finger check. That'll tell you if you estimated well.
Remember, one size doesn't fit here. Also, what's ideal one week might not be ideal the next.
Check regularly, and be aware of these five potential water woes:
1.) Wilting is most often a sign that a plant is in dry-soil trouble. When your plant wilts, the best time to water it was yesterday.
2.) You can kill plants with too much water, even in a drought. If you've planted a tree in a small hole with lots of added, well-drained soil, water can back up when it hits the surrounding clay and can't drain out. That leads to rotting roots.
3.) The symptoms of too much water are the same as symptoms of not enough water – wilting. In dry soil, there's just not enough moisture to hydrate the leaves. In soggy soil, the roots die, and the plant loses its method of taking up moisture.
4.) Get a rain gauge or at least set out an empty tuna can to see how much rain your yard is actually getting. It doesn't matter that a storm dumped 2 inches into Harrisburg International's rain gauge if your yard got a misting.
5.) Be particularly water-vigilant with anything new you've planted, especially costly trees and shrubs, which can take 3 or 4 years for roots to grow to self-sufficiency size. Even "drought-tough" plants need your help in the early going.

I have saved some of Miss Abigail's baby clothing, books and toys for the hopechest. My thought is that Abigail can use them with her own children someday. Since it is now January, and sooooo cold outside, I thought I would show you these little socks and mittens. These were knitted for Miss Abigail when she was just a wee girl by her Aunt Camille, who probably also spun the yarn, since she is a handspinner as well as a knitter. Lovely, aren't they?
BTW, I looked at my last posted date and feel shocked. January is really whizzing by quickly! I am really not just lazy about this blog. I do have some fun things to show and I have been busily working on hopechest things, but I am right in the middle of changing computers and learning new software. And, sometimes time just gets away from me! Plus, we are still not connected to the Internet at home, so I have to drive to the library to post anything. And at this time of year, I just don't get around as much as I do when the weather is warmer. (Do you hear those violins playing? They're beautiful...) ;o)

sam and i checked out the new david smith exhibit at the new clark art museum last week. check out that first link for many images from the remodeled museum .. the clark has been closed for about 2 years and just reopened on july 4th .. sam and i went to the guggenheim exhibit back in 2006, which was a tour de force of the smith's incredible output of amazing steel work. here's a link to images online from that show he filled the whole main spiral and several side rooms .. an amazing show .. even the catalog was a whopper. i've got it out again for a review and it's a great one ... the catalog is still available, but hang on to your checkbook ..
in my computer. i think that is 'australia' behind us ...
in my computer. i think that is 'australia' behind us ...
it was crazy crowded for a thursday morning at the clark, but we got to see what we went to see and it was all very inspirational
they are big
and they are colorful
and they are well thought out ... in the exhibit, they are set up exactly as
mr smith had them set up in his meadow at bolton landing.
there were also a few other pieces with a circle theme
and a few of his large, interesting, 'spray over arranged objects'canvases.
they are all good in their own way ..
and the main collection was intact and only slightly rearranged. above is the famous alma tadema designed steinway that took a lot of people a long time to create in 2005, 500,000 pianos after steinway made the original in 1887.
but the approach and the reflecting pools are quite striking ..

Keep away frizzy hair during this monsoon
| Updated On: 2016-06-29T16:24:54+05:30 | Location :
Hair care becomes more important during the monsoon season
With the pitter-patter of rain in the monsoon comes the fear of frizzy hair, itchy scalp and hair loss. Hair care becomes all the more important in the rainy season because your hair tends to lose moisture content due to high levels of humidity, says an expert.
Fizzy hair is also one among such problems that bothers every individual each day. Your hair becomes rough and dull all the time with an untrue access to beautiful hair. Even if you have dressed well for a party,fizzy hair will probably spoil almost everything. In order to treat fizzy hair, importance lies in knowing its root cause. Some gets these types of hair due to dryness where as other gets it as an impact of the season.
Ashima Kumar, Education Manager at haircare brand Kerastase, has shared some tips:
* The simplest to earliest, non-time consuming way to protect hair in monsoon is to apply anti-oxidant creams or serums onto the hair, whether you are indoors or outdoors.
* Identify your hair type and opt for a nice elixir oil massage every weekend or twice in a week in order to maintain gorgeous silky hair. Alternatively you can also go for good professional hair masks and treatments, suggested by the stylist, to nourish your brittle hair in monsoons.
* Shampoo twice in a week to maintain a healthy scalp. Rain water left on your scalp for longer time makes you feel itchy and your hair is even susceptible to bacterial or fungal infections and may even lead to dandruff.
* Regular conditioning is crucial during the monsoon season.
* During the monsoon season it is important to dry your hair before you leave the house and protect your hair from damage. Make sure you don't comb your hair when wet.
* Opt for products that will help you protect your hair from drying up in this season at the same time retain the natural moisture of the hair.

Finally it's starting to feel like spring. The warmer temps and longer daylight hours make this the perfect time of year to take your runs outdoors. While research shows that exercising in nature has lots of benefits for your mental and physical health, running outside also invites risks that you wouldn't have to worry about on a treadmill. Stay safe as you soak in the warmer weather on your outdoors runs with these expert tips.
1. Run in well-lit, populated areas. "Avoid environments that could make you a victim, like a deserted trail at dawn or dusk," says Jean Knaack, executive director of the Road Runners Club of America. If you find yourself in an isolated area, be sure to take out your ear buds: Women in headphones appear to be easier targets to sexual predators.
2. Trust your gut—it's usually right. If you see a suspicious person approaching you, give them as wide a berth on the street or path as possible. "Don't look down—keep your eyes on the person, but cross to the other side of the street if you can," Knaack says. If there's enough distance, consider turning in the opposite direction and running away as fast as you can, she adds.
RELATED: Stay injury-free and go faster by improving your running technique.
3. Put up a fight. "If you're approached, establish the impression that you'll be a terrible victim: loud, fearless, and willing to fight," says Lynne Marie Wanamaker, a certified personal trainer and self-defense instructor. Be verbally and physically assertive—look the person straight in the eye and speak loudly, saying, "Stop right there," "You're too close," or "Leave me alone." An attacker is likely looking for someone who will be easy to overpower, not someone who's willing to get physical.
4. Know basic self-defense skills. Be aware of the top four vulnerable spots on a person's body: eyes, nose, throat, and knees. If you're close enough to fight back, do it. "Imagine the attacker is trying to hurt your mom, sister, or child, and fight just as dirty to protect yourself as you would to save another woman you love," Wanamaker says. "Plus, remember that self defense works. Studies show that fighting back correlates with reduced rates of rape and does not correspond with higher rates of physical injury."
RELATED: Stay confident, strong, and safe by learning what every woman needs to know about self defense.
5. Always carry your smartphone. While mace and pepper spray can be effective if used properly, more often than not they're left at home or zipped in a back pocket, rendering them useless in an emergency. But you still have a weapon: "Your cell is a great self-defense tool," Knaack says. Download these five handy apps today to help keep you safe on any outdoor adventure:
- ReactMobile enables you to report suspicious incidents or send your current GPS coordinates to pre-selected contacts with the push of a button if you're approached.
- StaySafe allows you to enter your expected running path and timing, and if you don't check back within the allocated time, your pre-set emergency contacts will receive your GPS coordinates—even if your phone is switched off.
- MyPanic is a free app that lets you trigger a piercing alarm and flash bright colors to grab the attention of other people who may be nearby.
- Guardly sends emergency alerts to your selected safety network, who will be informed of your real-time location and whether you've called 911.
- bSafe turns your phone into the ultimate safety device. One touch of a button sounds a siren, records a video, alerts authorities, and informs selected contacts of your GPS location.

ENG: The adolescent brain is a work in progress. On education and personal growth
By Jelle Jolles & Brigitte Bloem - Feb 20th, 2017
Context shapes the brain. That is the conviction of Jelle Jolles, professor of neuropsychology at the Free University of Amsterdam and director of the Brain & Learning Centre. "The environment stimulates the development of complex brain networks within the boundaries of certain genetic conditions" explains Jolles. "What a person can achieve is not predetermined at birth. Practice and life-experiences throughout childhood and adolescence, as well as a continuous sensory stimulation are essential to further talent-development. Educators, teachers and society together create the conditions for this development. This is accomplished by providing support, guidance and inspiration. So, they provide important knowledge and help the child or teenager to reflect on options and routes-to-travel. And new insights about the maturation of the adolescent and his or her brain have great potency for educational innovations".

Written on 3-6-2012 for the SA Paranormal Meet-ups
Allen Tiller
Photo taken in a local northern suburbs Cemetery
What Is Transpiration?
Transpiration is a naturally occurring phenomena that is similar to evaporation, and is part of the water cycle. It is a loss of water vapour from parts of plants, especially the leaves.
How does this differ from Evaporation or Evapotranspiration?
Evaporation is defined as "The vaporisation of liquid on the surface of a body of water"
Transpiration is defined as: "The emission of water vapour from the leaves of plants "
Evapotranspiration is defined as "The process by which water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere by evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants "
Transpiration is distinguished by the fact that it is the movement of water vapour from a plants leaves into the atmosphere.
So what conditions are needed for transpiration?
Temperature: Transpiration rates go up as the temperature goes up, especially during the growing season, when the air is warmer due to stronger sunlight and warmer air masses. Higher temperatures cause the plant cells which control the openings (stoma) where water is released to the atmosphere to open, whereas colder temperatures cause the openings to close.
- Relative humidity: As the relative humidity of the air surrounding the plant rises the transpiration rate falls. It is easier for water to evaporate into dryer air than into more saturated air.
- Wind and air movement: Increased movement of the air around a plant will result in a higher transpiration rate. This is somewhat related to the relative humidity of the air, in that as water transpires from a leaf, the water saturates the air surrounding the leaf. If there is no wind, the air around the leaf may not move very much, raising the humidity of the air around the leaf. Wind will move the air around, with the result that the more saturated air close to the leaf is replaced by drier air.
- Soil-moisture availability: When moisture is lacking, plants can begin to senesce (premature ageing, which can result in leaf loss) and transpire less water.
- Type of plant: Plants transpire water at different rates. Some plants which grow in arid regions, such as cacti and succulents, conserve precious water by transpiring less water than other plants.
How is this relevant to the paranormal?
In this cropped down photo you can clearly see the mist surrounding the leaves of this plant. This is transpiration in action.
Often mists like this are mistaken for something spiritual manifesting in a cemetery when it is a natural phenomena that is present in nature.
You may see many day time photos containing similar mists shot in outdoor areas such as cemeteries, parks etc. The majority of them can probably be explained away as transpiration and not something paranormal but there is always that 1% of data that cannot be explained.
This effect is not to be confused with condensation.
Condensation is the change of water from its gaseous form (water vapour) into liquid water.
Transpiration is the evaporation of water from plants. It occurs chiefly at the leaves while their stomata are open for the passage of CO2 and O2 during photosynthesis.

Now that you can breathe a bit easier with an extra shopping day, let's get on with my final post for Fantasy Faire. It is with a sad heart that I post this since the faire is always fun and exciting. I will definitely miss the gorgeous sims as they are my favorite part of the faire. I also feel terrible not being able to blog everything given to me, but I will try harder next year if I get more time!
Living the FantaSea has a lovely new mer tail called Carpe Oceanus. It's got warrior appeal in purple chainmail with a leather halter top. A shoulder guard and gauntlet protect your right arm while a dagger is strapped to your left one. It also comes with a mermaid AO so you can get swimming right away.
If you prefer something you can wear as a human, then there is the Synjari outfit from Paper Moon. The bohemian print in pastel tones is ideal for spring. It comes with beautiful rings in shiny opal colors. I styled it with the Pulsing Heart earrings from The Golden Thorn, and the Ginko mask from Falconrose. The earrings glow brightly in the light while the mask frames the face in soft fabric and is embellished with pearls and silver ginko leaves. I also used the Erika hair from Wasabi Pills and Musa poses as seen in the previous post. This picture was taken in the extravagant Lotus Valley Dream sim, which showcases the ethereal beauty of Asia.
Remember you only have a couple days left so hurry before these items and the gorgeous sims vanish into the mists once again!

I want someone to take the enclosed pen sketch and make a digital illustration of it. I want the heart to be black, the arrow and the blood where the arrow pierces to be a bright metallic gold. The blobs on the top and bottom of the heart should be bright metallic gold. I want the DNAs and the mini-hearts to be randomly black or bright metallic gold. Cupid (figure in bottom left) should be bright metallic gold. I want one version of the design with a white backround and one version with a red backround.

One Seabrook shines in NHL, another waits in wingsby Todd Kimberley
For Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook, that something looks a lot like his younger brother Keith.
Brent Seabrook, 24, is gaining widespread recognition this spring as a blue-chip National Hockey League shut-down defenseman.
All of which only fuels the fire for 20-year-old Keith — who, coincidentally enough, is trying to bring home Calgary's first Memorial Cup title since 1926 while big brother attempts to squash Cowtown's Stanley Cup dreams.
"We've had lots of battles playing hockey in the driveway" of their Richmond, B.C., home, Keith Seabrook told NHL.com on Monday." And just seeing the success he's had over the past couple of years has been motivation for me.
"We've always been competitive with each other," added Keith, a defenseman with the WHL's Calgary Hitmen and a second-round draft choice of the Washington Capitals in 2006. "I think that's the way it'll be for a while to come."
Now in his fourth NHL season, Brent Seabrook has become the lynchpin of the Hawks' defensive corps — a reputation that's been cemented by his play during this Western Conference Quarterfinal series against the Calgary Flames.
Brent, a Stanley Cup Playoffs debutant, entered Monday's Game 6 at the Pengrowth Saddledome leading all NHL players in ice time in the postseason, averaging 26 minutes and 33 seconds a game.
"He's been that kind of a player for us all year," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "He and (defense partner Duncan Keith) have played matchup minutes, quality minutes.
"Offensively, we might have had three guys with 40-plus points at the back end (Brian Campbell, Keith and Cam Barker)," Quenneville added. "I don't think he was up at that level (Seabrook had eight goals and 26 points), but his effectiveness and the challenges he faced all year were high-end.
"Whether the pucks go in or not for him, we value his contribution for what he does defensively for us. Anything he does offensively is kind of a bonus."
That means Saturday's Game 5, a 5-1 Chicago victory that put the Flames on the ropes in this series, was a veritable bonanza. Seabrook rifled home a power-play goal that opened the scoring, then chipped in with two assists.
The former first-round draft choice also dished out a game-high five hits, leaving him second on the club in that category, with 19, and blocked shots, with 10, in this first-round affair.
"Whatever he gets, he deserves. He's a big force for us," Campbell said. "He's a big guy, very steady, great defensively, and adds a lot of offense as well.
"Sometimes it takes playoffs for guys to get recognized a little more. We've recognized him all year, but now he's getting recognized on a bigger scale."
Meanwhile, Keith Seabrook's Hitmen, who have rattled off 12 consecutive playoff wins to earn the WHL's Eastern Conference crown, will play either the Kelowna Rockets or Vancouver Giants in the best-of-7 league championship.
It remains to be seen next fall whether Keith earns a spot in the Capitals' starting lineup and makes the leap directly from the WHL to the NHL, like big brother did back in 2005.
For what it's worth, Brent has little doubt that will happen.
"He's started to get more chances and opportunities, and he's taking control of it and having fun and running with it," Brent said. "His best years are ahead of him, and he's going to do well."

Critical Linking: June 19th, 2013
An interactive map of all the public libraries in the United States. Whoa.
A new form of DRM developed in Germany alters words, punctuation and other text elements so that every consumer receives a unique version of an eBook. By examining these "text watermarks", copies that end up on the Internet can be traced back to the people who bought and allegedly pirated them.
This sounds like a really good terrible idea. Or a terrible good idea. Can't tell which.
Discovery is only one facet of Evoke, however: engagement with the characters is also a prominent feature. The platform will feature character-specific pages, including galleries of annotation composites (user-generated compilations of text), images, video, and audio. The goal is to spur a community dialogue around each character and enable "a character's collective identity to empower a number of diverse perspectives in one visually stunning environment," in Axline's words.
I have a feeling that the Mr. Darcy page will be some people's….special place.
Confident that Hilderbrand could stick to a more grueling schedule of delivering a thick novel—most of her books are well over 300 pages—every year, the team at Hachette set out to imprint readers (and booksellers) with the idea that they should look for an escapist, but not necessarily frothy, novel of hers every summer. At the same time, Little, Brown took care to move Hilderbrand away from being classified as a romance novelist.
Fascinating stuff. One thing that self-pubbed folks should envy.

After another sleep in and rather sizeable buffet breakfast, it was time to explore Barcelona's gothic quarter. We popped into a few of the boutiques (a girl must shop!) before visiting the Cathedral of Santa Eulalia.
The shopping around the cathedral was great. I managed to pick up a pair of funky resin earrings, as well as some Spanish leather shoes, which were almost identical to (the now "made in China") Camper Peu.
We then headed towards Passeig de Gràcia - one of the most famed and beautiful avenues of Barcelona. The street was full of exclusive boutiques, up-market restaurants and some pretty stunning architecture.
After our paella disappointment days earlier in Granada, my beloved and I were eager to try a more authentic and tasty version of the illustrious Spanish dish. This time I did my research and selected Tenorio Braseria (Passeig de Gràcia, 37, 08007 Barcelona). We weren't disappointed! The meal began with some fried Padrón peppers, which were accompanied by rustic slices of sharp cheese.
Next on the menu - the traditional mixed paella. This dish was full of plump, tasty seafood, perfectly cooked rice and had a very distinct saffron flavour. It was, hands down, the best paella I have experienced in my nearly 30 years!
With what I can only imagine were distended bellies, we staggered back down Passeig de Gràcia, popping into to shops intermittently. Back at the hotel, we gathered up all of our warmer clothes and set off towards Barcelona's main post office to lighten our load. The building in which the post office is located is beautiful, historic and free(!) - for the budget-conscious traveller, I recommend a visit.
Parcel posted, we met with our travel companions and headed to Barcelonela metro stop, where we walked towards the beast and settled on a small café, where we feasted on burgers, dips, nachos and beer (a classy lot, we are!) while watching the sun set. A lovely way to end a busy three days in Barcelona!
Twenty bonus points if you can tell me what's wrong with this picture.
Hint: we played a little "Where's Willie" while people watching...teehee!

Tomorrow is my first official day of work. That being said, I got woken up this morning at 7AM by my new boss asking me to come in and help out because he had a meeting to go to. So I got my butt out of bed, took a quick shower and hightailed it to the office (kitchen). I was a little intimidated since it's been several months since I did any serious cupcake decorating but I had to jump right in. 6 hours later, I discovered muscles in my hands that I never knew existed. I came home and fell asleep immediately. Fun day, right? Remember that one time I was happy- watching Lifetime Movies all day long and chowing down on bon bons?! Oh, those were the days. That was yesterday... in fact. Having a job is a good thing, though- it keeps us in our brand new house, buys us chalkboard paint, and feeds us steak dinners. And, as far as jobs go, I mean decorating cupcakes-- can't get much better than that. Speaking of steak dinners- that's how we celebrated tonight :) Steak and potatoes and Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale (recommended by Eryn)- yum!
And for dessert? Roger was inspired by a post on Reddit and this is our take on it: an apple, a little vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of caramel, and a sprinkling of cinnamon. It tasted like a ball of autmney goodness! Super easy and fun to make, too!
Hey, remember that one day last week? My birthday? Do you also remember that shopping spree Roger took me on? Rogers parents and siblings all chipped in and told me to treat myself to something cool from them as well. Well Rebecca, Taylor, Joanna, Mark, Kay, and Dexter- here it is! A necklace from the Anthro accessories store (where else?!) that was handmade by an artist in Philadelphia. It's made using a stone called landscape jasper- I've never seen anything like it before! Thanks guys!!
Tomorrow I am scheduled to work at 6:30, another day in the wonderful world of cupcakes. Time for bed.

Most Americans want Congress to either reject the economic stimulus package now before Congress or make "major changes" to the plan, a new Gallup/USA Today poll discloses.
Three out of four respondents said they want Congress to pass some version of President Barack Obama's stimulus package. But only 38 percent favor the existing package, 37 percent want major changes in the plan, and 17 percent reject the plan outright. The remainder have no opinion.
Among Republicans, 43 percent say it should pass with major changes, and 35 percent reject it outright.
Among Democrats, 59 percent would like to see the stimulus package passed without changes, 30 percent want major changes, and 4 percent reject the plan.
The Gallup poll of more than 1,000 adults also found that only 10 percent of respondents think the economy will improve this year as a result of the stimulus plan, and 53 percent think the plan will have no effect on their families or make their financial situations worse.
"While the majority of Americans favor Congress' passing some type of stimulus plan, there is remarkably little confidence on the part of the public that the plan would have an immediately positive impact on the U.S. economy," Gallup observed.
"Americans are also pessimistic about the plan's potential positive impact on their own families' financial situations."
And Charles Franklin, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who studies public opinion, told USA Today: "It's sort of paradoxical: They're both supportive and pessimistic."
He added that President Obama "has been saying this is going to be a long process, so maybe it's not so surprising that voters would pick up the idea that there's no quick fix."
The Senate has begun debate on an $885 billion stimulus bill. House Democrats passed an $819 billion version last week, with all Republicans voting against it.

Watch this stunning video about nasal washing, and if you are like me you'll roar with humor and be filled with relief that FINALLY someone figured out a way to perform this unsavory task with EASE and EFFICIENCY!
Allergies, Throat Clearing, Sinus Pressure, Sinus Headaches, Sinus Drip, Congested Sinus', and the list goes on….are all good reasons to watch this video.
At my house we add liquid silver to the mixture for both preventive and to act as a body friendly way to go after any and all incoming (existing) bad micro-organisms.
I use this as one of our "daily in the shower" tools. My grandson (age 4) who has some kind of nasal drip going on, preferred nasal washing over the sink morning and before bedtime while he was staying with nana and papa. My son (age 14), prefers nasal washing occasionally, or as needed, but surely I'll wrangle this into his daily personal care – LOL.
Tip for morning headaches: Nasal wash over the sink right before bedtime, I had immediate results – no morning headache!
TIP – For Sinus Pressure I apply a "sinus mask" and "eye mask". Here's how: Face: I make a paste of Living Clay and water (3 parts pure water (or aloe), 1 part clay, please reserve in covered container). Apply across bridge of nose, extending across cheeks and also forehead. Eyes: Black tea bags (wettened with warm/hot water, not completely squeezed out), applied to each eye. Sit back with your sinus mask and eye mask – 15-20 minutes. To extend the life of this mask, moisten a hand towel with warm /tepid water, wring out almost all the way, fold and apply over entire face. This will keep the clay and tea bags moist (allow it to work longer). Bigger Tip – Best done while soaking in a tub of clay and epsom/magnesium salt:) LOL.
FOR THOSE WITH EXTRA TIME: If you run out of sachets or dont' purchase extra sachets of salt/bicarbonate, a similar (homemade) formula is a mixture of unbleached sea salt and baking soda (we use Himilayan Salt ground fine and organic baking soda), then we add 1/2 oz of silver – this makes up the 8 0z nasopure bottle. Diluted by 1/2 for children's size nasopure bottle.
Simple enough, and I love combining things – for example, this is one
Enjoy, have fun, and know that sometimes remedies are really prevention, which is why it's always about pH Body Balance!

When I tell people I play football for Fordham, maybe it's my accent, but they hear Florida. And it was very different to go from El Pasowhere people live, eat, sleep, and breathe Friday Night Lightsto the Bronx, where football is more an afterthought to basketball. But you can feel football at Fordham. We have a hallway that's nothing but Vince Lombardi, so it's sort of like going to Michael Jordan's high school.
When the first scout came this fall, it was a big deal. I could feel his eyes on me. I was nervous and had a bad dayballs everywhere. Now it's better; someone will say, The Giants were here today, and it'll be like, Oh? I didn't notice.
The agent situation is weird, too. One guy's presentation was all about money. Some play the star cards of guys they rep in the NFL. There's a lot of razzle-dazzle.
It's strange when so much of the attention is on me. Some teammates call me Johnny Franchise. But it's all in good fun. Scouts notice everyone. I guess it is a little bit of a big fish in a small pond, but the pond has been getting bigger while I've been here. We didn't have any scouts visiting when I was a freshman.

Tuesday NBA Roundup: Hype or No Hype, Spurs' Dominance Can't Be OverlookedMarch 16, 2016
Two days after the time change and nearly a year since an epic seven-game playoff series, the San Antonio Spurs have sprung forward, while the Los Angeles Clippers have fallen back.
The Spurs clocked the Clippers 108-87 on Tuesday to extend their winning streak at the AT&T Center to 42 games—the third-longest in NBA history.
And behind that of the Golden State Warriors, who've won 46 straight at Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.
The Warriors have overshadowed everyone and everything in the Association this season—and rightfully so. Their historic title defense, led by Stephen Curry's field-lapping MVP campaign and the All-Star seasons of Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, has Golden State winning at a pace even the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls would envy.
That's made it easier than ever for San Antonio to once again fly under the radar, despite a franchise-best 57-10 record through 67 games.
Not that these Spurs need any help dodging the limelight. For all their improvement over last season's squad, which won 55 games before getting ousted by the Clippers in the first round, their sparkle seems tailor-made to avoid wider detection.
No player better exemplifies this dichotomy than Kawhi Leonard. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year and newly minted All-Star continued his rise into the league's elite with a team-high 20 points on 9-of-15 shooting to go along with five rebounds, four assists and three steals in 34 minutes.
In any other year, Leonard's career highs in points (21 per game), assists (2.5) and three-point percentage (46, second-best in the NBA) would be enough to thrust him into the MVP conversation.
Except Curry has all but run away and hid with that award. And when it comes to three-point prowess, even Leonard's prodigious progress from the perimeter pales in comparison to the excitement and energy generated by each of Steph's staggering pull-ups.
The same goes for their profiles off the court. While Curry and his family have fashioned themselves into social media darlings, Leonard is known best for dishing the sort of short, dry soundbites Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich would happily harvest for his next vintage.
No lack of words can detract from Leonard's all-around excellence. And there is no denying the strides LaMarcus Aldridge has made in his newfound role as San Antonio's No. 2. The five-time All-Star flipped in 17 points—just below his season average of 17.7 per game—on 7-of-16 shooting against a Clippers frontcourt that had Paul Pierce join Blake Griffin in street clothes.
Four of Aldridge's field goals came on mid-range jumpers, on which modern NBA offenses supposedly go to die. Aldridge has long thrived on those in-between opportunities and hasn't slipped much in that regard since leaving the Portland Trail Blazers for the Alamo City this past summer.
Those shots aren't sexy, but they've been effective for these Spurs, who've scored more of their points from mid-range this season than all but the New York Knicks, per NBA.com.
Meanwhile, they've scored the sixth-fewest points by percentage from beyond the arc, the 15th-most by percentage in the paint and the eighth-fewest on dunks, per Fox Sports.
That is to say, San Antonio's shooting profile won't soon work fans or nerds into a tizzy.
That doesn't mean the Spurs, who sport the NBA's stingiest defense, are "boring." They move the ball as well as any team, with the fourth-most passes per game spawning the Association's sixth-highest assist percentage.
San Antonio's passing was on brilliant display against L.A. The Spurs dished the ball 298 times to the Clippers' 284 and logged dimes on 25 of their 44 makes from the field, with eight hockey assists (to L.A.'s one) and one pass leading to free throws (the Clippers had three).
Some of San Antonio's best ball movement comes from the team's revamped bench. The Spurs' reserves outscored their Clippers counterparts 51-20, with Texas stalwarts Manu Ginobili (13 points) and Patty Mills (15 points, six assists, five rebounds) pacing the pack.
They got plenty of help from the newer members of San Antonio's bench mob, too.
David West (eight points, six rebounds, two blocks) did so much work the Spurs' Twitter feed (apparently) forgot thesaureses exist. Kevin Martin, recently signed off the scrap heap, chipped in six points of his own. Second-year forward Kyle Anderson (six points, four rebounds) hit a jumper to beat the third-quarter buzzer that erased L.A.'s last lead of the game.
Together, San Antonio's bench, which scores the second-most points of any second unit in the NBA, stretched what was a 71-70 lead to start the fourth quarter into a double-digit advantage by the time the Spurs' starters were ready to check back in.
That kind of depth won't inspire many (if any) soaring hagiographies, but it could prove crucial to San Antonio's title hopes. The more work the bench puts in, the less the Spurs' stars have to do and the more gas they'll have left in the tank come playoff time. San Antonio's spectacular tally of blowouts, per the team's Twitter account, is a testament to as much:
San Antonio Spurs @spurs
More fun facts… Most wins by 20+ points this season: 1. Spurs - 20 2. Warriors - 12 3t. Cavaliers - 11 3t. Thunder - 11
The Clippers, on the other hand, are a mess compared to the squad they bested last spring in thrilling fashion. They've now dropped back-to-back games by 20 points or more for the first time since March 2010.
Back then, Blake Griffin was still rehabbing from the knee injury that ended what would've been his rookie campaign before it began. Griffin wasn't available for the Clippers this time either, sidelined not by his once-broken hand but by a quad injury that preceded his embarrassing fisticuffs in Toronto.
Without him, L.A. will be hard-pressed to duplicate last year's postseason heroics, regardless of what Jeff Green (15 points on 5-of-13 shooting) is able to do in his stead and irrespective of the pick-and-roll production of Chris Paul (22 points, eight assists, three steals) and DeAndre Jordan (16 points, 14 rebounds).
At this point, though, the Spurs needn't concern themselves with the Clippers. They have a 2-1 season-series edge against L.A., and barring the Oklahoma City Thunder slipping in the standings, they won't see CP3 and Co. again until the Western Conference Finals at the earliest.
Instead, San Antonio would do well to turn its full attention to the defending champions. The Spurs will have their sights set squarely on the Warriors when Golden State comes to town Saturday, with two more games against the Dubs during the final week of the regular season.
Maybe then, if the Spurs play far better than they did during a 30-point pounding in Oakland on Jan. 25, the basketball world will slice through San Antonio's steady veneer and see a team with legitimate Larry O'Brien aspirations.
Pacers Stop C's in Potential Postseason Preview
If the playoffs started today, the Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics wouldn't play until the second round, if at all. Which, after the Pacers' 103-98 win over C's on Tuesday, has to come as some relief to the residents of Beantown.
With Jae Crowder and Kelly Olynyk both sidelined by injury, Gang Green struggled to scrounge up points against Indy's third-ranked defense. The Pacers held their visitors to 39 points in the first half and 38.3 percent shooting overall.
Indy, on the other hand, made almost as many free throws (20-of-28) as Boston took (18-of-22), and five of its players reached double figures, led by Paul George's 25 points on 9-of-16 shooting. That doesn't include the style points George earned for throwing down a 360-degree dunk after a whistle late in the fourth quarter, as the team shared on Vine:
At 36-31, the Pacers moved to within a game-and-a-half of the Eastern Conference's No. 6 spot, which is occupied by the Charlotte Hornets.
"We've got a chance to move up," George said afterward, per the Pacers. "Nothing's really set in stone."
Neither is Indiana's playoff berth. Upcoming home games against the Toronto Raptors and Thunder could leave the Pacers, just two games up on ninth place, vulnerable to late pushes by the Bulls and Detroit Pistons.
But if Indiana makes hay against the nine sub-.500 squads it'll face over its final 13 outings, it could see the C's again come April.
Dunk Contest Never Ends for Air Gordon
Don't think the Orlando Magic, at a not-so-robust 29-37 following a 116-110 win over the Denver Nuggets, are worth watching anymore this season?
Aaron Gordon would beg to differ.
The second-year forward was far from the most impactful player on Orlando's stat sheet. His 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting marked a solid night but paled in comparison to Evan Fournier's game-high 30, Victor Oladipo's 23 and six assists or Jason Smith's season highs in points (25) and rebounds (13) off the bench.
But did any of Gordon's teammates do this?

Bojan Goes Bonkers in Brooklyn
Speaking of players turning garbage games into noteworthy nights, did anyone see what Bojan Bogdanovic did to the Philadelphia 76ers?
The second-year swingman out of Bosnia and Herzegovina had been averaging 14.9 points and 41 percent from three since stepping into the Brooklyn Nets' starting lineup for the bought-out Joe Johnson. Then—perhaps after seeing Johnson light it up for the Miami Heat—Bogdanovic tried to close the gap in one fell swoop, matching his jersey number with a career-high 44 points to lead the Nets to a 131-114 win over the Sixers.
He was hot early, scoring 17 points on perfect 6-of-6 shooting in the first quarter. And, well, he was hot later, with just two misses in seven attempts for 14 points in the third.
Bogdanovic became the first foreign-born Net to score 35 points or more in a game since the late, great Drazen Petrovic dropped 44 against the Houston Rockets in January 1993. He also tied Los Angeles Lakers guard Lou Williams, who burned Oklahoma City for 44 on Jan. 8, in the unofficial Mo Williams Award race for best out-of-the-blue scoring explosion of the season.
Beyond his own exploits, Bogdanovic helped the Nets snap a four-game skid and boosted the franchise to its highest scoring output in regulation since February 2000, when the team still had a dozen more full seasons to play in New Jersey.
For all of that, Bogdanovic earned himself a way-too-hype highlight reel, which the Nets shared on Twitter:
Brooklyn Nets @BrooklynNets
Shooting straight flames, @44Bojan (38pts!) helps the #Nets grab a 100-83 lead over #Sixers after three. https://t.co/5tO0sa4fxI
Short-Handed Raptors Blast Bucks
No DeMar DeRozan? No Jonas Valanciunas? No problem for the Raptors. They quickly erased a six-point first-quarter deficit and rode a 19-6 run to start the third quarter all the way to a 107-89 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.
Rookie wing Norman Powell scored a career-high 17 points, with two coming on this thunderous coast-to-coast slam shared by the NBA on YouTube:
Bismack Biyombo stepped into Valanciunas' spot with 12 points, 13 rebounds and two blocks. James Johnson, Toronto's long-time stand-in for the injured DeMarre Carroll, added 11 points, while Patrick Patterson (14 points, six rebounds) and Terrence Ross (11 points) provided a boost off the bench.
That support freed Kyle Lowry for his usual song and dance. The All-Star point guard poured in 25 points on just nine field-goal attempts (he was 11-of-13 from the free-throw line) and notched 11 assists.
Their combined efforts made the absences of DeRozan and Valanciunas moot points while moving the Raptors to within two games of the Cleveland Cavaliers for the top spot in the East.
Kings Make History in L.A.
On Tuesday, the Sacramento Kings did something they've never done: sweep the Los Angeles Lakers in a season series, courtesy of a 106-98 win in L.A.
Granted, blanking the Purple and Gold ain't what it used to be. The Kings are just one of 17 teams in the NBA to shut out the Lakers (14-54) this season.
Sacramento didn't exactly pull through in impressive fashion, either. As Kobe Bryant again rested his sore shoulder, the Kings sprinted to a 19-point lead in the first quarter with Darren Collison (22 points, six assists) and rookie Willie Cauley-Stein (eight points, seven rebounds) starting next to DeMarcus Cousins (22 points, eight rebounds, three assists, three steals, four blocks), Rajon Rondo (nine points, 12 assists, six rebounds, four steals) and Rudy Gay (20 points, eight rebounds, three assists, three steals).
The lead was up to 23 less than five minutes into the third, but the Kings—with Boogie practically sleepwalking—nearly surrendered that gaping advantage to the Lakers' spirited second unit. Instead, Gay came through with four quick points after L.A. had closed the gap to 100-94 with 2:46 remaining to put the game out of reach.
Give the Kings a 4-0 mark against the Lakers—an unbeaten run they'd previously failed to nail down in Sacramento, Kansas City, Omaha, Cincinnati or Rochester.

Moto Guzzi, the world's second oldest continuously operating motorcycle manufacturer, is a storied brand offering unmistakable bold styling. To the uninitiated, most Guzzi sport bikes look big, are not necessarily the easiest to handle although they very stable and able to zoom around the bends. But after losing weight, the Sport Guzzis are cheap and great for the building of nimble Cafe Racers with the unique look of an eye catching transverse mounted engine. A Cafe Racer doesn't have to be British to crack the Ton (100 mph)
Trimming all the fat of unnecessary factory parts from a 2001 Moto Guzzi Sport 1100 let saved at least 70 pounds in just a couple of hours. Then, began the task of mixing and matching parts from other brands (mostly Italian) to give the Guzzi its new Cafe personality almost always and at least a fuel tank with dents to allow the rider's knees to grip it, a small wind fairing, a sporty suspension, low slung/narrow racing handlebars and a single-person humped seat.
The modified frame and subframe were modified by Abel (ex Evel Knievel mechanic) and now support a 750 Yamaha TZ aluminum gas tank and an Ducati Imola aluminum seat pan and a reshaped Ducati wind splitter. Engine work consisted in removing the stock EFI to return to a more Cafe 41 mm carburetor. Inverted front end was modified at the shop . Alpina wheels Italy. New exhaust was fabricated using the Guzzi Griso system as a base. Ignition by Silent Hekiik Germany. Frame paint by Craig Skiver. Assembly by R. Jones and A. Bernard at . Time: 4 months. For sale $45,000. (photography Erik Runyon for Patumwan)

STOCKHOLM (Reuters Life!) - Swedish newspapers are abuzz with speculation about what caused the break-up of Princess Madeleine's relationship with her boyfriend of eight years after the two called off their wedding.
The Swedish royal family announced the split in a factual statement on the weekend, giving no details about the reasons behind the decision of 27-year-old Madeleine and lawyer Jonas Bergstrom to cancel their wedding and end their relationship.
"After careful consideration, Princess Madeleine and Mr Jonas Bergstrom made a joint decision to go their separate ways," the Swedish royal family wrote in a statement posted on their Web site on Saturday.
That announcement followed a Norwegian media report quoting a woman who said she had had sex with the 31-year-old Bergstrom after meeting him in a nightclub at a ski resort.
Bergstrom and Madeleine — who is the youngest of Swedish King Carl Gustaf's three children — have not appeared together in public in an official capacity since the Nobel Prize dinner in December.
Swedish evening paper Aftonbladet said the pair had been living apart for months and would have broken up sooner had it not been for the king, who insisted that Madeleine head to New York before making the announcement.
The tabloid published a eulogy of the royal couple's doomed romance which ran for several pages under the headline: "This Is Why Their Love Died".
The high-profile break-up comes just months before Madeleine's elder sister, Crown Princess Victoria, is due to marry another commoner in a fairytale wedding in Stockholm.
The marriage, Sweden's first royal wedding since 1976, is scheduled for June 19.
Sweden is a constitutional monarchy and the king, though popular, has no political power.
Sweden's monarchy traces its origins back more than 1,000 years, though the current royal family assumed the throne in the early 19th century, when French marshal Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte became king. He had been elected as successor to the Swedish throne by Sweden's parliament in 1810.
Carl XVI Gustaf has been King of Sweden since 1973. The last Swedish royal wedding was in 1976 when he married German-born Silvia Sommerlath, whom he met at the Munich Olympics in 1972.

|Also known as: Fall or Autumn Equinox, Wine Harvest, Feast of Avalon, Alban Elved (Druid), Alban Elfed (Caledonii), Winter Finding (Teutonic)
|Date: Fall Equinox, usually about September 21-23
|Symbols: Apples, Wine, Vines, Garlands, Gourd, Cornucopia, Burial Cairns
|Deities: Wine Gods, Harvest Deities, Aging Deities
|Colors: Brown, Orange, Russet, Maroon, Fall Colors
|Herbs: benzoin, marigold, myrrh, sage, and thistles may be burned; acorns, astors, ferns, honeysuckle, milkweed, mums, oak leaves, pine, and roses may be used as decorations.
|Mabon (MAY-bone or MAH-bawn) is named for the Welsh God and it is seen as the second of the three harvests, and particularly as a celebration o fthe vine harvests and of wine. It is also associated with apples as symbols os life renewed.
Celebrating new-made wine, harvesting apples and vine products, and visiting burial cairns to place an apple upon them, were all ways in which the Celts honored this Sabbat. (Avalon, one of the many Celtic names for the Land of the Dead, literally means the "land of apples".) These acts symbolized both thankfulness for the life-giving harvest, and the wish of the living to be reunited with their dead.
Taken from "Celtic Myth and Magick" by Edain McCoy
|Here are a few suggestions for Mabon activities that can be incorporated into the Sabbat or done during the day.
|Make a protection charm of hazelnuts (filberts) strung on red thread.
|Hang dried ears of corn on the front door, doorposts, or outside light fixture (hang the corn so it does not come into contact with the heat of the lightbulb).
|Serve a Mabon meal of wine from the God and beans and squashes from the Goddess.
|Collect milkweed pods to decorate at Yuletide and attract the faeries.
|Call upon the elementals and honor them for their help with (N-earth) home and finances, (E-air) school and knowledge, (S-fire) careers and accomplishments, (W-water) emotional balance and fruitful relationships.

Some tips for buying an authentic discounted Louis Vuitton bag are purchasing bags from authorized sellers, not expecting deep discounts and becoming familiar with the characteristics of genuine bags. Louis Vuitton bag styles remain relatively unchanged over time, and the bags do not follow seasonal pricing trends of other brands. Louis Vuitton bags do not go on sale, and the company does not have sample sales.
There are no factory outlets, overstocks, clearance sales or close-outs, and Louis Vuitton does not allow street vendors to sell authentic bags. Buyers should beware of sellers offering deeply discounted Louis Vuitton bags and buy only from trusted sellers or from a Louis Vuitton store. A bag bought from an authorized reseller may cost more, but the buyer may appreciate the security in knowing it is authentic.
Discounted bags are sometimes available through individual sellers and high-end, secondhand shops, but buyers should approach these with caution. Resale shops also fall victim to fraud and may unknowingly put a counterfeit bag up for sale. Some indicators to look for in authentic bags include the date stamp behind the inner pocket. Date codes follow specific patterns after 1981. All hardware bears the stamp of the company name, regardless of its size. Other hardware should have the "LV" insignia stamped or embossed in fine detail.
The stitching on a genuine Louis Vuitton bag is meticulous and should contain at least seven or eight stitches per inch. The stitching is also uniformly spaced, properly aligned and sewn with mustard-yellow colored thread. Counterfeit bags tend to use fewer stitches per inch, less attention to stitching and bright yellow thread.

I found this beautiful Quail Egg Shell Tea Set at a garage sale last week...
for only 50 cents! Do you believe it. I was trying to find out how much these are worth, because I know they must be worth something, but I couldn't find any information online, I did find a site but they wanted me to
pay for the info??
So if anyone knows anything about this, please share and
I will post the info here.
You can tell the artist took time and imagination to create this beautiful set. One of the cups is cracked but I don't want to throw it away. I am thinking of using it in the Monster High Dollhouse for the characters to use during our movies. But when they're not in use, I want to protect them, so I'm going to start looking for some kind of glass container to display the set...maybe at garage sales next week, I'll get lucky.
Thank you for reading...subscribe by email so you never miss a post.
Who knows maybe next week I'll find a teradactyl egg. :)

The IChemE is licensed by the Engineering Council UK to assess candidates for inclusion on ECUK's Register of professional Engineers, giving the status of Chartered Engineer, Incorporated Engineer and Engineering Technician. It is licensed by the Science Council to grant the status of Chartered Scientist and Registered Science Technician. It is licensed by the Society for the Environment to grant the status of Chartered Environmentalist. It is a member of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering.[5] It accredits chemical engineering degree courses in 25 countries worldwide.
The mission of this organisation is to build and support a community and network of professionals involved in all facets of the Chemical Engineering discipline.
Membership grades and post-nominals[edit]
IChemE has two main types of membership, qualified and non-qualified, with the technician member grade being available in both categories.[6]
Qualified membership grades.
Fellow - A chemical engineering professional in a very senior position in industry and/or academia. Entitling the holder to the post-nominal FIChemE and is a chartered grade encompassing all the privileges of Chartered Member grade.
Chartered Member - Internationally recognised level of professional and academic competence requiring at least 4 years of field experience and a bachelors degree with honours. Entitles the holder to the post-nominal MIChemE and registration as one or a combination of; Chartered Engineer (CEng), Chartered Scientist (CSci) and Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv). This also entitles the individual to register as a European Engineer with the pre-nominal Eur Ing.
Associate Member - This grade is for young professionals who are qualified in chemical & process engineering to bachelors with honours level or a higher. Typically this is the grade held by those working towards Chartered Member level or those graduates working other fields. This grade entitles the holder to the post-nominal AMIChemE. This grade can also lead to the grade of Incorporated Engineer (IEng) for those with some field experience but which falls short of the level required for Chartered Member grade.
Technician Member - Uses practical understanding to solve engineering problems and could have a qualification, an apprenticeship or years of experience. This grade can lead to the Eng Tech TIChemE post-nominal and now in conjunction with the Nuclear Institute the post-nominal Eng Tech TIChemE TNucI.
Non-qualified membership grades.
Associate Fellow - Senior professionals trained in other fields of a level comparable to Fellow in other professional bodies.
Affiliate - For people working in, with or with a general interest in the sector.
Student - For undergraduate chemical & process engineering students.
Annual awards[edit]
The IChemE Innovation and Excellence Awards take place in November in the UK. The awards are highly regarded throughout the process industries for recognising and rewarding chemical engineering excellence and innovation.
There are 14 categories in total that applicants are invited to enter including; food and drink, energy, health and safety, bioprocessing, innovative product, nuclear innovation and young chemical engineer of the year, offering a broad scope for entries.
The organisation is working on newer award programs in other countries and in 2012 events also took place in Singapore and North America.
Ashok Kumar Fellowship[edit]
The Ashok Kumar Fellowship is an opportunity for a graduate to spend three months working at the UK Parliamentary Office for Science and Technology (POST). The first fellowship was completed in 2012 by James Lawrence, a PhD student at University College, London. The fellowship is jointly funded by the IChemE and the Northeast of England Process Industry Cluster (NEPIC).[5]
The Fellowship was set up in memory of Ashok Kumar, the only serving chemical engineer in the Parliament of the United Kingdom at the time of his sudden death in 2010. Kumar was an IChemE Fellow who had been the Labour MP for Middlesbrough South and Cleveland East since 1997, his second time in parliament following a brief stint in 1991.
IChemE established an educational program whynotchemeng? in 2001 to help young people find out more about a career in the field of chemical engineering.[citation needed]
In addition to careers information for students, whynotchemeng? also provides schools with free teaching resources for Key Stages 4&5 including Top Ten Flash Bang Demos, a citizenship lesson and dilution plant challenge, plus free careers literature including posters, leaflets and careers packs.
Coat of arms[edit]
The coat of arms is a shield with two figures.[7] On the left a helmeted woman, Pallas Athene, the goddess of wisdom, and on the right, a bearded man with a large hammer, Hephaestus the god of technology and of fire. The shield itself shows a salamander as the symbol of chemistry, and a corn grinding mill as a symbol of continuous processes. Between these is a diagonal stripe in red and blue in steps to indicate the cascade nature of many chemical engineering processes. The shield is surmounted by helmet on which is a dolphin, which is in heraldry associated with intellectual activity, and also represents the importance of fluid mechanics. Just below the dolphin are two Integral signs to illustrate the necessity of mathematics and in particular calculus.
The Latin motto is "Findendo Fingere Disco" or "I learn to make by separating".
