I'm rather delayed in posting this Mumbassadors post as due to our sad news just before our summer holidays I have put blogging on hold for the best part of the summer to spend time looking after the children and creating happy memories with them in a bid to help them cope with their grief.
As you do know both Emmy and Harry are BIG Peppa Pig fans and with the Summer holidays in full flow this last delivery of Peppa themed items was wonderful and perfect for both children.
This bundle was just perfect for use over the summer adventures and fun – we were sent lots of water type toys from Swimming goggles, squirters and soft water toys, sunglasses and sun hats were also worn loads this summer and by having a character on that the children liked they actually manage to keep them on…..well for a while anyway.
The passport covers and luggage tags are really cute, sadly Emmy and Harry don't yet have passports as they haven't been abroad so I've popped these away for use at a later date – I'm hoping I actually remember where that safe place is once I actually do have passports for them.
Of course, water fun means wet children so the lovely poncho hooded towel and bath sheet was a welcome addition to our summer bundle, I do actually wish the hooded ponchos were a little larger though as would be perfect for after swimming lessons for Emmy but they get stuck over her head. I do find they are both very girlie looking as happens to be the case with many Peppa Pig items, thankfully Harry isn't at all fussed about this.
The most loved and most used (and of course the one which caused most fights) was Peppa Pig Holiday Time Grandpa Pig's Boat
We have had this not only in the bath but in the paddling pool too.
We have had this not only in the bath but in the paddling pool too.
It is a cute plastic boat which comes with 3 removable figures, Peppa, George and Grandpa Pig. The figures stand up on the boat which floats on the water. It doesn't actually do anything other than float but the kids don't seem to mind at all. There is also a very tint removable pretend bell which attaches to the front of the boat, as you can imagine ours has been lost already.

Danis Tanović: Circus Columbia, 2010
reviewed by Nataša Milas © 2012
Following his widely acclaimed debut film, No Man's Land (2001), Danis Tanović ventured into foreign lands, making his second film in French, L'Enfer (2005), based on the script of Krzysztof Kieslowski, and his third film in English, Triage (2009), starring Colin Farrell. In his latest feature, Circus Columbia (2010), Danis Tanović returns to a Bosnian, or rather, Herzegovinian landscape. Circus Columbia is based on the eponymous novel by Croatian writer and journalist Ivica Đikić and it takes place in an anonymous Herzegovinian town. Even though Circus is a comedy, it is not devoid of political and historical implications. Placed in the background of the family drama, historical circumstances overarch and influence the entire plot. The temporal setting of the film is a short period when the cars in Bosnia still carried YU stickers on them, but Croatian white and red checkerboard flags had already begun to appear in local offices—1991.
The film's main characters are Divko and Lucija, a husband and wife played by Miki Manojlović and Mira Furlan. Tanović brings back actors that the audience remembers watching in the eighties, during the time of Yugoslavia and the socialist regime. The film spans only several days during 1991, before the dissolution of the country that very year. Divko, who fled his country to avoid conscription, and even possible persecution since his parents were in the Ustasha movement, has spent the last twenty years in Germany. During this time he has had one wish—to return home! The collapse of the communist regime provides Divko with the longed-for opportunity to go back home. Even though Divko has had his share of success in Germany, where he made his fortune, he has never found peace in this foreign land. In search of that peace he returns to Herzegovina with his young girlfriend Azra (Jelena Stupljanin), his beloved cat Bonny—who continuously brings Divko luck—and, of course, a Mercedes and plenty of cash.
Upon his return, Divko's first order of business is to remove the wife he left behind, Lucija, and their son Martin (Boris Ler), from his home and set up house with Azra. At first, we are not certain about the nature of Divko and Lucija's relationship. As the movie unfolds we learn that once Divko left for Germany he severed all ties with his wife and son. Why this is so we only learn at the very end of the film. The fact that Lucija was the child of communist parents and Divko the offspring of Ustashas proved an insurmountable obstacle. As it became imperative for Divko to flee, Lucija was asked to accompany Divko to spy on him (if he were to pursue Ustasha connections). If she were to refuse to spy, she would endanger the life of her parents who would stay behind. Lucija decided to stay, not to betray her love and keep her parents safe. Divko only learns this truth at the film's end, and his bitterness toward his wife completely disappears, and his compassion returns.
In the opening scene of the film Martin wakes up to the sound of music coming from the radio. It is the voice of Jadranka Stojaković wondering "Što je ljubav?" (What is Love?) The pairing of the music with Martin serves two purposes: it symbolically answers the question asked in the song, i.e. Martin is a product of the love between Lucija and Divko. The song also serves as a prelude to upcoming events: Martin will experience love.
Music continues to play an important communicative role in the film. Stojaković's music marks the generation to which Lucija and Divko belong. Both the opening and closing musical sequences by Jadranka Stojaković refer to the love between Divko and Lucija. Martin and Azra, on the other hand, flirt over Azra's name, which is eponymous of Martin's favorite band. Conveniently, Azra has never heard of the band and their music, which allows Martin to make a tape for Azra, an act symbolic of his infatuation with the girl.
When Divko's lucky cat Bonny disappears, all forces are aligned to find him. As the search for the missing cat takes place, the relationship between Martin and Azra unravels. The time they spend together searching for the missing cat provides them with the opportunity to learn more about each other. Martin learns about the history of his father's relationship with Azra. Back in Germany, Azra ended up in the hospital after her father beat her, and there she met Divko, who cared for her afterwards.
The fathers, father figures, and their relationship with children, is an important subplot of the film. During the twenty years that Lucija has spent as a single mother, a Yugoslav army commander, Savo (Svetislav Goncić), has helped her out. There is no love affair between the two, but Savo certainly stands as a father figure for Martin. Now, when war has broken out in Dubrovnik and is just about to spread to Bosnia and Herzegovina, and thus to their small town, Savo organizes an escape for Lucija, her son, and himself to Germany.
One crucial night things escalate. Martin, who is an amateur radio operator, notifies the commander of the Yugoslav army, Savo, about a planned attack on the Yugoslav army barracks. The angry members of the local Croatian paramilitary force who were to implement the attack arrest Martin. Lucija seeks Divko's help, begging him to save their son, and explaining why she stayed in Herzegovina and how she never loved anyone but him. Divko, who shows little compassion throughout the movie, relents after hearing these words and does what Lucija asks of him. He saves his son, offers his Mercedes for their escape to Germany, and gives Martin money with which, as Divko notes, "one can buy everything but cannot have everything." Divko also recognizes the love between his son and Azra and sends them all, Lucija, Savo, Martin, and Azra, on their way to freedom and safety. Divko decides to stay—as dangerous as that decision may be, this was his home. Alone, without his lucky cat, he sets off toward the amusement park of his childhood—Circus Columbia. As he approaches one of the rides, Lucija shows up with Bonny. She has also decided to stay. The two (or three) of them go for a ride accompanied by the song of Jadranka Stojaković, "Sve smo mogli mi" (We Were Capable of Anything). As the ride spins, it gives rise to their renewed love. In the background the grenades fall and the sound of music is intermixed with sounds of emerging war.
For such a light-hearted comedy, the film is filled with serious historical tribulations. We have the Yugoslav army represented by Savo; we have Lucija's Communist past of her parents; we have the Ustasha movement embodied in Divko's past; and we have a new power, Ranko (Milan Strljić) and his son Pivac (Mario Knezović), who represent the new Croatian government; plus the TV reportage of the Fall of the Berlin wall, and war in Dubrovnik. In the midst of all this are Martin and Azra who represent the new generation devoid of any political affiliations: the two young people who came of age in these transitional times and fell in love. They are the "healthy" potential who now need to flee.
The title and the central allegory of the film, Circus Columbia, serves to bring us back to the time of innocence, of love and play, and a time when one was, as Stojaković sings, "capable of anything." As the titular circus brings forth the notion of the carnivalesque, other moments in the film do the same: the lucky black cat Bonny and the winding search for him; the cow's head on Divko's platter when the couple goes out for romantic dinner (paired with Azra's insistence on vegetarianism). Circus Columbia ties down the then and the now, youth and the symbolic return to it. On another level, the absence of the actual circus is filled by the family circus that takes place in the movie, and furthermore, by the political circus of the end of Yugoslavia.

Why do I need one?
If you've been injured at work, on the road, through medical negligence or had a trip or slip which resulted in permanent damage or medical costs then you might want to seek the advice of a personal injury lawyer.
Injuries are a fact of life that we all have to be aware of. In the last year over 274,000 injuries happened in the work place alone. While medical treatment improves so too does your chance at surviving injuries but not without permanent disability and medical expenses.
What is a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Personal Injury Lawyers are solicitors whose expertise is in representing and gaining compensation for victims of injury, whose life has been altered by an accident. What they do is important by making sure you are not held financially responsible for injuries you received through the fault of others.
We will take your claim, give you an estimate, and put you in contact with a solicitor for free. These solicitors work on a �no win no fee' basis and you even get to keep 100% of any compensation you win.
What does �No win no fee' mean?
вЂ?No win no fee' agreements are more correctly referred to as вЂ?conditional fee agreement' and they have more or less replaced legal aid as a way of paying for compensation claims. вЂ?No win no fee' means you pay your solicitor nothing – even if you lose!
If you win then your solicitor's fees will be paid for by your opponent, although, some solicitors will take a proportion of your compensation but this will never happen with intersolicitors.co.uk who let you keep 100%.
If you do lose, however, you will usually be required to pay your opponent's legal fees. This is why it is important to find a solicitor with a good success rate. Accident-direct.co.uk has a 98% success rate and can help you get in contact with one of their solicitors.
It is advisable that before you make a claim you take out �after the event' insurance, which if you lose pays for your opponent's legal costs.
How do I make a claim?
Making a claim is simple and free. Go to anyone of our simple claim forms and fill it out with the details of yourself and your case. You'll be called back and asked about your injury. Your claim will be assessed and, if successful, your information will be passed on to one of their solicitors who will proceed with legal action.
For your claim to be considered it has to pass three criteria. It must have happened within the past three years, there must be evidence that the accident was the fault of the third party and there must be evidence showing the extent of your injuries, such as medical reports.

Wii Got It!!!!!
An Evening With iTunes
Since I quit paying attention to new music trends around the mid-90s, most of the stuff I down loaded is from the 80s, with a little 70s thrown in. And my musical taste runs the gambit. I've got everything from new wave, schmaltzy AM pop, and hair-band metal--including enough Poison to take out an entire city block. BTW, they're no KISS, but Poison's version of "Rock And Roll All Nite" isn't half bad!

Ms. Val's Bargain of the Week
This week's bargain is actually one of Luke's birthday presents. For the last two Christmases, I had been buying him the latest copies of the Guiness World Records books. He loves these things and can spend hours sitting on the floor reading and sharing facts with the rest of the family. For his birthday, Luke asked me for previous-years copies of GWR.
On a website called Thriftbooks, I found 2002 through 2004 for one penny each. 2005 was $.99. Shipping for these four large, hardcover books $11.22. I almost feel bad for the seller here. There's no way this company made any money off me on this deal.
Then last week, while scavenging through a booth full of books and license plates at the antique mall, Q found a copy of the 2001 book priced at $3...or $2.55 after the coupon discount.
Now, we can read about the about the dog who can hold the most tennis balls in his mouth whenever we want.

Birthday Interrupted
As a mom, I should have known something was up. Yesterday, I accompanied his class on a field trip. Upon returning to the school, I learned that Luke fell asleep on the bus ride back to school (we chaperones had to drive ourselves).
Shortly after we got home, Lucas came downstairs bawling. I thought he had hurt himself and started checking his body for bruises and blood. He cried that he's sick and we're going to have to cancel his birthday.
And it's no wonder he was upset. We had a whole day planned. We were going to take the boys, along with Luke's friend to lunch at Peter Piper Pizza, and to the Fiddlesticks fun park in Scottsdale (we did away with birthday parties a few years ago. Instead, we now let the birthday boy plan the entire day.)
Anyway, Lucas spent a few hours lying on the couch crying. Crying partly that he felt so sick, but mostly because this day that the big day he had been talking about for so long was now cancelled...or at least postponed.
I know, I know. It's just a birthday. That's what I said last year when Q was in the hospital and Luke's birthday was pretty much glossed over. This year's birthday was supposed to be better.
This morning, I had the heart wrenching task of calling the other boy's mom and informing her that we wouldn't be going after all. I also told her that we'll make it up to "Danny" and Lucas by taking them out when he gets better.
Lucas spent the entire day watching cartoons, taking baths, and sleeping in my bed. I spent the day painting my living room and watching Myth Busters reruns. Yawn.

Thursday 13: The Lucas Edition
1. Lucas' favorite snacks include popcorn, popsicles, raw cookie dough, and whipped cream. I had to convince him to spray the whipped cream into a bowl instead of squirting the can into his mouth.
2. Lucas has been taking drum lessons since August. It is his dream to someday replace Tre Cool as the drummer for Green Day.
13. Lucas is trying to grow his hair long. After baths, he loves it when I blow dry it for him.

Ms. Val's Bargain of the Week
I was in Target on Friday buying a birthday present for Luke's friend. As I wandered through the sporting goods aisle, I spotted a peg of Wilson tennis rackets with the telltale red clearance sticker on them. On further inspection, I found these rackets, originally priced at $12.99, were marked down to $3.24. SOLD!!!! At that price, I was able to buy one for each boy. Double sold!!

Rainy Day in Phoenix
Thursday, January 18, 2007
Thursday 13: The Hospital Edition
2. His hospital stay was only supposed to be two days...three tops. It ended up lasting the better part of four months.
3. During the hospital stay, Q missed Luke's birthday, Valentine's Day, my birthday, and Easter. He came home for good on Mother's Day.
4. He went more than 6 weeks unable to eat a crumb of food--including the entire month of February. Since then, the longest he's gone without eating is maybe 6 hours.
5. After over a month and a half at the community hospital, and chewing through a truckload of red tape, Q was transferred to the Mayo Hospital in northeast Phoenix. I firmly believed that move saved his life.
6. During the earliest weeks of his hospital stay, Q was in ICU. After about the third week, one of the nurses bent the rules for us and give me permission to bring the boys in for a short visit. It was very difficult for the boys to see their dad in such a vulnerable position.
7. I think Q had more CT scans than most people have teeth.
8. I can't begin to count the number people who were on the business end of my temper. Most notable is the doctor who ordered Q have a catheter inserted when he clearly didn't need it. He claimed that he wanted his urine accurately measured. I assured him that Q may be sick, but he still has good aim. The graduated pee bottle will be just fine.
9. Q usually hates it when I act rude and talk down to people. But not that time. He thanked me for sparing him the pain of catheter insertion. ("Squeaky wheel, Honey. Squeaky wheel.")
10. Even after not being able to eat and having a feeding tube stuck down his nose for so long, Q was still very selective about which foods he would eat. He refused lemon jello. He hated the mushroom ravioli. He also told me that Mayo had the worst iced tea ever.
11. Apparently the bad iced tea at Mayo is well known. One of the nurses made Q some tea from her own personal stash.
12. The lady at the Mayo Hospital deli counter got to know me quite well. She knew I would order one of two sandwiches: egg salad on sourdough or roast beef on rye. And she never failed to ask about my husband.
13. Q has been out of the hospital for eight months. And not a day goes by where I don't think about some aspect of that whole experience. It's hard not to, considering that Arrowhead Hospital is located on the same main road that runs nearest to our house. I think about mundane things like waking Q up to give me his password to our mortgage account. I think about the vomit, the IVs, and the post-surgical bleeding. I think about the hospital volunteer who played piano in the atrium at Mayo (that guy was GOOD!).
January 18, 2006 has become a turning point, of sorts for our family. It's the reference point we use to measure when an event occurred (did that happen before or after the hospital?). It comes up in conversation at least once a day. I'm sure the Cushing's illness/hospital will wane in time. But it will take a LONG time. I'm sure of it. But in the meantime, I'm just glad it's all over.

My Work Areas
and here:
Thursday, January 11, 2007
Thursday 13
1. I was summoned to appear for jury duty today. But when I called the automated system to get my reporting time, I learned that my group has been excused. Most people would be relieved by this, but I'm rather bummed. I was really looking forward to experiencing this part of the judicial process for myself.
2. I am not good about delaying gratification, or otherwise depriving myself of anything. It's a genetic aberration, of sorts.
3. According to my iTunes library, the most played song on my iPod is "Castles in the Air" by Don McLean. #2 is "The Things We Do For Love" by 10cc.
4. It's been almost two weeks since I redecorated the bathroom and--gasp--it's staying clean! I have never been able to keep a single room clean for that long. Of course, it helps that this particular bathroom is the smallest room in the house. And I'm sure the removal of cheap construction-grade fixtures didn't hurt, either.
5. The boys' favorite rainy day food is chili. When they come home from school, one of them will announce: "I smell Mom's chili!!!" Kyle, in particular will help himself to a bowl right then instead of waiting for dinner.
6. When we were in California last month, I managed to navigate the streets and freeways without getting us hopelessly lost. It wasn't easy, either. I kept losing my sense of direction...something that's not a problem in Phoenix (I'm obviously spoiled by the grid system here). Anyway, I will install some sort of dash-mounted compass for our next car trip.
7. Speaking of California, the LA area is home to the best jazz station ever. I don't remember the call letters, but the frequency was 88.1. They play jazz music all day, unlike the Phoenix station, which broadcasts NPR (Not Pertinent Radio) everyday until 7:00.
8. Learning moment. I use this phrase often. The boys hate it because it's my way of telling them that they have to accept and live with their choices.
9. My new TV addiction is real estate shows...especially the "flipper" ones where the sellers overimprove and overprice their houses to the point where they sit unsold for months on end. I love watching said sellers collapse under the weight of their own greed.
10. I'm hardly ever late for anything. I have no problem getting the boys to the bus stop on time. I manage to get the oil changed every 3,000 miles without delay. I return library books before they're due. And I always make it to school with time to spare. But for some reason, our Christmas tree stayed set up in the family room until January 9.
11. We have about 8,ooo pairs of scissors in the house. All but 2 are missing.
12. We also have about 12,ooo pens. Only about 5 of them work.
13. Dumb question: Why are there clothes all over the floor if everyone "always puts them in the hamper?"

Quinton Update
--Q and I try to go out walking in the evenings. If we don't go, it's because it's too cold, too windy, or there's something good on TV. Not because Q doesn't feel up to it.
--Q had an appointment with his endocrinologist back in December. At that time, the doctor lowered his daily cortisone dose.
--When we went to California, Q seemed to have the stamina to keep up with the rest of us through four days of almost non-stop walking and standing at the amusement parks.
--Q has also been working hard on regaining his strength. He's currently bench pressing 50 pounds. That may not sound like much, but it's more than I can do! We've also taken up tennis. That is to say we drive over to the courts at the local park and whack the ball around. Sometimes we even get it over the net...more than once!
--Around New Years, Q came down with a head cold, which included a fever. As advised by his doctors, he doubled his cortisone intake for the duration of the illness. He also spent a few days hunkered down here at home instead of going to the office. If he didn't follow these precautions, he could have ended up back in the hospital.
--A few days ago, Q told me that he feels better now than he did before last month's cortisone dosage change. And he felt better then than he did a year ago (before surgery). This is an indication that his remaining adrenal gland may have come out of its dormancy and is producing cortisol again. It will take further testing to see if that is, in fact, the case.
--He has another follow-up appointment in mid-March.

Ms. Val's Bargain of the Week
Then a few months ago, we noticed that we were always running out of spoons. With four people eating cereal, scooping up sugar, stirring tea or hot chocolate, etc. And let's not forget all the lunches the boys' friends eat here. Also, there might even be a few spoons hiding out in one of the upstairs rooms. In any case, the demand for spoons was outpacing supply.
I found another set of the same flatware available on eBay for an opening bid of $29.99. I bid and won it for that price. Not bad, considering that the same set is currently being sold at amazon.com for $80.
Now, we will never run out of spoons again!

Disneyland Trip
This is Luke's way of telling us he didn't care for the Autopia ride. Being too short to drive, he was relegated to the role of passenger.
The boys got the lead car on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
Friday, January 05, 2007
Universal Studios Trip
The boys weren't too interested in having their pictures taken with the roving costumed characters, but they posed with Spongebob Squarepants because their cousin is a huge Spongebob fan.
From the set of War of the Worlds. I'm glad that's not our Mustang!
The Bates Motel with the set of How The Grinch Stole Christmas towering in the background. According to the tour guide, the car parked out front (also used in Psycho) did double duty as the family car from Leave it to Beaver.
My favorite part of the tour was getting to see Wisteria Lane and the houses from Desperate Housewives. Here, Mike the Plumber's house is pictured. I think that's Carlos' Jag parked in the driveway.
Lynette's house...complete with minivan in the driveway.
Susan's house.
Betty Applewhite's house from season two. This same house was previously occupied by The Munsters.
Mary Alice and Paul's house. The same house was used in Leave it to Beaver.
Bree's house.
Edie's house
Gabby's house
No studio tour would be complete without the close-up shot of Jaws.

New Plastic Unit Release: Epirian SecDef!
Spiral Arm Studios
Producers of Maelstrom's Edge
We are very proud to announce the immediate availability of our latest plastics - the Epirian SecDef. These guys have exo-augmented armour, allowing them to be a much more powerful and effective fighting force than their contractor allies.
Available now at
This fully plastic kit allows you to build a squad of the Epirian's elite fighting force - the SecDef.
The elite of the Epirian Foundation is the Security and Defence force, or SecDef. The men and women of SecDef are better trained, better armed and better equipped than the Contractors that make up the majority of Epirian defences on frontier worlds. SecDef take only the very best recruits, typically recommended by a trustee after a number of years of dedicated service as a Contractor. Those promoted into SecDef spend over a year training at dedicated off-world bases on Foundation worlds throughout the Spiral Arm, where grizzled veteran instructors inflict a brutal schedule of combat, security and fitness drills. Many recruits wash out during this gruelling period of indoctrination, and only the best of the best become members of the SecDef's feared infantry squads. The Foundation likes to play up this robust selection and training system, because the SecDef are a source of both great pride and great profit. The SecDef are billed by their corporate owners as the ultimate in precision combat. Even one SecDef squad is a honed killing machine, clinical and effective. Rich companies and individuals alike across the galaxy look to hire SecDef infantry as the finest mercenary units, working as bodyguards, military escorts or even leading attacks on rival corporations or hostile alien worlds.
In the days before the Maelstrom, the Foundation was a loose affiliation of corporate franchises, competing on designs for robotics and terraforming technologies, and for the rights to mine asteroid belts and transform worlds for new colonies. However, the franchises recognised the need to keep their free market competition civil and productive, and the elected Foundation trustees maintained the trading rights and regulations between franchises, as well as mediating disputes and deciding on the overall direction of the Foundation. The SecDef acted as the enforcement arm of the overarching corporate structure, a hand-picked selection of the best soldiers from across the different franchises, trained up to be the best equipped and trained fighting unit in the corporate sector. Because of this need for independence for the franchises, the SecDef eschewed the use of robots, as these might preferentially benefit an individual franchise. In the time since the Maelstrom, communication, transportation and above all trust across the Spiral Arm has disintegrated, and the Foundation has fragmented into individual franchises, each with their own SecDef division. Despite now being in more direct competition, much of the tactics and philosophy of the original SecDef charter remains in the individual organisations.
The number of soldiers employed in SecDef varies from franchise to franchise, but is typically much lower than the number of Contractors and robotic units. Most franchises like their security and military forces to be represented by robots, acting as a sales tool for the consumer models of the robots seen on the battlefield. However, robots are only as effective as their Bot Handler. With armed conflicts erupting across the Spiral Arm due to the constant threat of the Maelstrom, Foundation forces more often find themselves having to make do with fewer and less well trained Bot Handlers. SecDef forces are therefore often kept in reserve and used to clean things up when the robotic and Contractor units get bogged down or can't overcome a tough enemy. This gives the SecDef of certain franchises a reputation for saving the day, which the trustees utilise to charge even higher rates when the SecDef perform 'consultancy' work for other organisations. Their tough reputation and intense lifestyle means that most SecDef soldiers are much better paid than Contractors or even some Bot Handlers, but they are so in demand that when the contract of a veteran SecDef expires they will often offer themselves up to opposing franchises for better rewards, or even go completely independent, leading to some of the most cut-throat and effective mercenary forces in the galaxy.
The SecDef's weapons and equipment are traditionally manufactured by Araldyne, one of the last great Epirian Foundation franchises. Araldyne were the franchise with operational control over the Foundation just before the Maelstrom hit. Ever since, Araldyne has maintained that they should rightfully be in control of the entire Foundation, and use both political pressure and military force to seize ships, technology or even planets from other franchises, insisting that they do so for the good of the Epirian Foundation as a whole. Their weaponry is more expensive and advanced than most used in the Foundation, prioritising advanced design and optimised technology over the mass-produced weaponry used by much of the Foundation's lesser troops. SecDef infantry are typically seen sporting powerful Araldyne AR60 assault rifles, as well as the heavier models in the Araldyne range such as the LM14 Machine Gun, SR40 Sniper Rifle and CG100 Chaingun. Such is the prevalence of Araldyne technology amongst the SecDef that rumours abound that Araldyne is secretly funding them as part of their goal to take over the Foundation. As a result, some of the more independent Foundation franchises such as the isolationists of Arkacorp refuse to accept Araldyine support for their SecDef, and even manufacture their own inferior copies of the Araldyne equipment. To their chagrin, despite these imitation weapons being more common across the Spiral Arm, they are still called 'Araldyne'-type weaponry, due to the obvious imitation of their competitor's designs.
Many of the higher-ups in the Foundation dislike that the elite forces of the SecDef are human-based, and there is pressure from some business units to disband SecDef and replace it with robotic divisions. The reality is that the human faces of the SecDef perform a function that robots cannot, and so there is a lot of pushback from Foundation military leaders whenever the commercial arm suggests a robotic replacement. This internal conflict gives the soldiers of the SecDef a huge chip on their shoulder, and pushes them not only excel at their jobs but also to resent Foundation robotic units. As a result, SecDef units refuse to include Foundation robots within their detachments, and never miss an opportunity to remind Bot Handlers and Contractors alike that the 'real soldiers' saved the day when they are deployed to reinforce their positions. SecDef soldiers gladly utilise all the other technological advances of the Foundation's foundries such as power-assisted armour, advanced maglock weaponry and targeting assistance, as long as there is always a human in direct control of the weapon or vehicle. They also refuse to be transported by drone craft, and arrive on the battlefield airlifted in stealth-armoured, human-piloted Hornet dropships. An aerial insertion by a SecDef squad or detachment can be the sharp stiletto that opens up a stalemate and turns the tide in the Foundation's favour.
A SecDef infantry squad is a well-drilled team of three to five elite soldiers, specialising in assaults on enemy space stations and secure facilities, as well as the defence of the Epirian Foundation's own high-value targets. A SecDef infantry squad will advance in synchronised cover formation, stepping individual squad members up to secure positions before allowing their team to advance. Their combat philosophy is to always keep moving, only staying in one location long enough to make an attack before shifting to a new position, constantly searching for a way to flank the enemy or find a weakness. They rarely deploy to fixed positions, and typically will be airdropped onto the precise location on the battlefield where they can make the most impact. The high-pitched scream of their Hornet dropships coming in for a combat drop is an ominous precursor to enemy combatants that in a few short seconds a SecDef squad will be on position to turn the tide of battle.
SecDef soldiers wear augmented power-assisted exoskeletons, with servo motors boosting the power of their arms and legs. As well as enabling antigrav aerial insertions from high altitude, the exoskeleton also allows them to wear thick ballistic armour without losing full mobility or movement. Their helmets are equipped with state-of-the art targeting and threat-identification heads-up displays, which when coupled with their years of advanced training and experience gives them an unparalleled instinct for tactical action on the battlefield. SecDef infantry sport the most advanced maglock weaponry produced by Araldyne Systems. The superior craftsmanship and state-of-the-art materials in an Araldyne AR60 assault rifle or G20 pistol makes it lighter to hold and more precise, with targeting optics linked into their helmets and a more expensive deadlier armour-piercing round made from rare earth metals. A squad can be supplemented with sniper or machine-gun armed specialists for specific combat roles, whilst the SecDef Annihilator team, armed with 2 Araldyne CG100 Chainguns, is capable of taking on even the most heavily emplaced fortifications. The combination of intense training, advanced exoskeletons and cutting-edge weaponry makes the SecDef the finest fighting forces in the Epirian Foundation - or for those with the resources to purchase their services.

Cutting stuff up and bunging it back together in new and interesting ways.
The chaingun is the one with the longer barrel. It's a smaller version of the chaingun on the Hunter mech.
The machinegun is the other one, shown above in the pic with the Hypnotist. It's a modification of the Cutter Light Machine gun.

Health: What a Waist!
Do you know a bulging waistline has a host of wealth problems?
Men with a waistline of greater than 40 inches (100cm) and women with a waistline greater than 35 inches (89cm) have a significantly increased risk of cancer, type II diabetes and heart disease. Currently 32% of men in the UK have a waistline exceeding 40 inches.
The correct method to measure the circumference around the waist is the midpoint between the top of the hips and the bottom of the rib cage (usually just above the belly button).
So why is this measurement relevant?
Fat that resides in the torso surrounding internal organs is known as visceral fat. Visceral fat is toxic, inflammatory and metabolically active. Excessive visceral fat is one risk factor associated with heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
Current research suggests that waist size is a more accurate predictor of future disease risk than body weight. This view is endorsed by the British Heart Foundation, World Health Organisation, Cancer Research UK and Diabetes UK.
Quote from Cancer Research UK: "Being overweight or obese increases the risk of at least seven types of cancer. The 2nd highest risk factor after smoking."

Okanagan Synthetic Grass Dog Runs and Pet Turf
Okanagan Perfect Turf (OPT) artificial grass is the ultimate choice for dog and pet play areas. OPT synthetic grass dog and pet runs is the first choice for kennel owners, homeowners and their dogs over real grass, pea gravel, cement, bark mulch, sand and dirt.
Okanagan Perfect Turf synthetic grass pet turf for dogs is virtually maintenance free, no watering or mowing and is specifically designed and engineered for dog and pet turf environments. Our artificial turf has unique features that are eco-friendly made of high-quality polyethylene yarn (antimicrobial by nature). The Environmentally Engineered Backing Solution allows for maximum drainage of urine, rain and melting snow. The artificial grass reacts just the same as a real lawn for use by dogs, pets and the elements without the constant maintenance and repair of dead patches and torn up grass from chewing, digging and running about.
It is possible to have an artificial turf lawn that both you and your dog will love! Okanagan Perfect Turf (OPT) synthetic grass is proud to offer dog and pet owners the luxury of having a perfectly beautiful lawn while keeping their beloved pets and dogs happy to playing on a large, green artificial grass lawn. Additionally, our synthetic dog lawn will always be clean and free of mud and debris meaning the additional maintenance of cleaning up after your dog indoors goes away too.
Frequently Asked Questions About Synthetic Grass Dog Runs
What happens with urine and pet waste?
Our Synthetic Grass System reacts very much the same as real grass. You pick up the lumps the same old way, any residue or loose stool and urine will wash through the backing system and the specially formulated crushed rock sub-base below.
How do you clean artificial grass?
Mother Natures' rain is usually sufficient. If necessary, spray your artificial grass dog run with a hose.
How can you get rid of pet odors?
Okanagan Perfect Turf synthetic grass supplies a product named Refresh Odour Eliminator that will control and eliminate odors generated by pets and dogs.
Will my dog like synthetic grass?
Dogs most definitely love it! While many dogs will avoid sand, cement and pea gravel. All dogs love grass, including Okanagan Perfect Turf (OPT) Grass.
Will my dog try to dig a hole through the artificial grass?
Some dogs will try to dig through anything. Our synthetic grass dog run turf is extremely durable making it virtually impossible to destroy. Extra hardware and infill are usually required at the point of installation and in doing so in most cases the habit of digging and chewing will be broken.
How do I buy Okanagan Perfect Turf Artificial Grass?
Okanagan Perfect Turf (OPT) is exclusive, supplying synthetic grass throughout the interior of B.C. For assistance or to place an order please call 250-300-0032 or toll-free at 1 (877) 514-TURF (8873). If possible, please have the dimensions of your dog run area handy so one of our artificial grass turf experts can help you with your request.
Can I build my own pet & dog run?
Yes, you can. At the point of purchase, we will supply you with a DIY (do it yourself) kit that consists of installation instructions and a bill of materials and hardware you'll require for proper installation.

Google Photos already does a great job letting you share photos, videos and albums, but with its latest app update things are getting even simpler. Now when selecting photos to share, you can bypass the idea of sharing to a specific app and just send to specific people instead — the share sheet will now just have a "To:" field where you can type names, email addresses or phone numbers.
Google Photos then figures out the best way to send to them. If they have a Google Photos account, that's great, but if they don't, Photos will send them a link via SMS or just attach the photos to a new email. You can customize how you want to send to each person you select, or just let Google choose.
The most important thing is sharing the photos — it doesn't matter how they arrive.
For many people the most important part is just getting the photos out there for people to see — it doesn't matter exactly how they get there. You can still choose to send images via an app of your choice, of course, but if you just want to send to a specific person or group, Photos can now do the hard work for you.
That's a pretty big change in the way that Google Photos lets you handle sharing, but this update doesn't stop there. Google is also testing out new automatic "creations" for you — the latest example is a short auto-generated video that shows the progression of your child growing up; all you have to do is keep your photos in Google Photos, and it does the rest. Google says it's trialing more of these advanced creations — it specifically names commemorating "good times" and "formal events" — and they'll be hitting the app soon.
Between the advanced sharing and even more automatic creations, Google Photos continues to be a fantastic way to manage, share and most importantly enjoy your photos. The new update is rolling out in the Play Store right now, but is also hitting the iOS App Store and of course the web.

Test site evaluation
NPL 9 m x 6 m x 6 m anechoic room fully lined with ferrite tiles and hybrid pyramidal absorber and evaluated to cover the frequency range 30 MHz to 18 GHz.NPL open area test site, including a 60 m x 30 m metal ground plane that is flat to within ±5 mm over 95% of its area.
NPL can evaluate test facilities that are used for EMC measurements.
These include:
- Open area test sites (OATS) and semi-anechoic chambers by the Reference Site method, RSM, or by the NSA method (Normalised Site Attenuation)
- Fully anechoic rooms (FARs) by the volumetric NSA method and the SVSWR method
- GHz transverse electromagnetic (GTEM) cells by field mapping
- Stirred Mode (or Reverberation) Chambers by measurement and analysis.
- Field uniformity for immunity testing to EN61000-4-3
Sites used for radiated emissions testing for conformance to various national standards must be of a certain quality.
This usually implies compliance with the criterion in CISPR Publication 16-1-4, which currently states that the measured normalised site attenuation (NSA) be within ±4 dB of the theoretical value.
NPL prefers to use the more precise RSM, of which the NSA and Dual-Antenna-Factor methods are derivatives. In the RSM the insertion loss is measured between two antennas at defined positions on the site-being-evaluated and compared with the insertion loss measured with the same antennas and geometry on a reference test site, which is defined in CISPR 16-1-5.
NPL provides traceability for physical parameters, which includes antenna factor for EMC antennas and calibration of field probes. NPL has the ability to measure the coupling between antennas very precisely, with over two decades of experience in such measurements.
NPL is active in CISPR sub-committee A in the development of improved methods for the evaluation of test sites and has contributed to CISPR 16-1-4, CISPR 16-1-5, IEC 61000-4-20 on GTEM cells and IEC 61000-4-21 on Reverberation chambers.
