I so value being a part of your community - it so supports my longing to fully engage my Divine Nature"
"You are learning how to heal yourself. You are learning how to stand up in the Truth of who you are."
"As you move through your life, keep letting go again and again. You will be served by the Infinite every time you let go. You will be served, honored, allowed to be your best as you function in this relative creation."
"Be in a constant letting go, a constant surrender to me, Divine Mother, trusting me, letting go to me. I know what you want. I know the deepest dreams in your heart. Give them to me. Together we are creating a Divine home on Mother Earth where you can live joyfully, supported in every way."
"You have the power to free yourself. You are in charge of your energy. If you find yourself attached to a fear, cut the thread, break the thought. Don't believe in fear. Trust your Divine Self. Don't trust fear. Trust me. I am One with you. Trust our Oneness."
"You are a human being with free will, and you can make choices. The animals and even the earth do not have the same contract with God that humans have -- the free will contract. You can make choices. When you choose to follow the Truth in your heart, you will be supported. But we cannot choose for you. You are the authority in your life."
"Transformation is occurring. Allow it. You are trusting in the Infinite Mind, the Divine Mind, to know exactly what you need and how to give it to you. You are letting go to the Infinite Mind of God, trusting that this Divine Mind can run your life successfully and guide you into the utmost happiness. Lettng go is the key to all transformation. Let go and allow the Divine to do its work for you."
"You are growing every day, lifting, letting go of the old you, letting go of the old shells that do not express your Divine nature. This is the Transfiguration that has been spoken about in the ancient past that you are experiencing now in your physical form, because this is the time on this planet when humanity needs to accept its Divine heritage."
"You are Divine Beings of Love. You are learning to live from your heart. You are learning to allow the intelligence of your Heart to unite with the wisdom that lies deep within you and embrace the intelligence of the mind to unify and become bigger; a bigger more expanded person of great Knowledge and Light."
"You are opening into the Truth of Love. I am assuring that you open into it. So don't worry, you don't have to do anything, just be in me, be with me, let me teach you, let me guide you."
"Just hold my hand, through every fire you must walk on this Earth's path. Hold my hand. I will take care of you no matter what happens."
My friend who sees auras says my auric field is more balanced and centered."
I feel completely transformed. I've never felt such a profound inner balance and clear connection with God."
Our son has been so happy and feels clear of his fears since he saw you."
People I know say I look so much more settled."

Boulder County officials said they had yet to receive complaints about flood-damaged vehicles on the local used car market, as of Friday. But that doesn't mean consumers shouldn't be on high alert when shopping for their next ride.
According to industry sources, Colorado was among several states that became landing spots for water damaged cars from the East Coast following Superstorm Sandy and even from areas affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Then, Colorado had its own historic storm.
The Colorado Department of Revenue issues "salvage titles" for totaled cars six years old or newer, but those titles do not specify how the car was totaled. While Carfax and other vehicle history reports can be helpful, they are not always up to date and dishonest sellers can cover up external signs of water damage, passing off cars with serious internal problems as lightly used.
"Carfax is only as good as the information that is input through it," said Tim Jackson, president of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association.
Jackson, who in November posted an entry on his blog about how to spot water damaged cars from the East Coast, said he has heard several estimates of how many cars were damaged during last month's flooding, but noted insurance companies are still assessing many of them.
For shoppers on the used car market he recommended being extremely careful, especially if a car is coming from Boulder, Larimer or Weld Counties. He said keep an eye out for telltale signs like water lines or stains inside the car, or mud or dirt under the hood or the wheel wells. He said musty odors inside the car are another giveaway, and even wet or recently shampooed carpets might be hints that water damage is being concealed.
Jackson said in recent meetings with dealers across the Front Range he is hearing growing support for legislation next year that would create a new salvage title designation specifically for flood and water damage.
"We believe the states should identify those as flood damaged cars and that would protect consumers. It would protect dealers. It would protect the system," he said. "And it would create a tool to prevent conceptual fraud on behalf of someone who is trying to pass off a flood-damaged car as one that has never had any trouble."
Deputy District Attorney Jane Walsh is the director of Boulder County Community Protection Division. The division has been fielding complaints nonstop since the flooding ended, but most have focused on residences and disputes with contractors, she said, though she would not be surprised to hear of people trying to resell flood-damaged cars.
She said consumers should start with a dealer with a good reputation and be especially careful with a vehicle that seems too far below market value.
With Colorado's salvage title law only pertaining too cars six years old or newer, Walsh said consumers should beware of older cars.
"I think sadly, yet again it's going to be people who are on the lower end of the market that will be a the most at risk," she said.
Phillip Higdon, co-owner of Boulder Auto Inc., last week estimated that his shop had serviced a dozen cars with flood damage, nine of which were deemed totaled by insurance companies.
On Friday, Boulder Auto's technicians worked on a 2007 Hyundai Elantra in which floodwaters had shorted out the computers that control its airbags, body control module and other systems. The seats and many dashboard components had to be removed so repairs could be made, Higdon said.
Even once obvious damage is repaired, internal issues can linger, Higdon said. He said cars that have important parts of the their transmissions submerged in water may experience problems with those parts months or years later.
He main advice is "buyer beware."
"Get as much information on the car's life as you can," Higdon said. "The more vague someone is, usually that's a yellow caution flag."
Bart Caddell is the general manager of Boulder used car dealership, Blue Spruce Auto Sales. The dealership is owned by Super Rupair, the country's largest independent Subaru Service Center.
Caddekk said he attends insurance auto auctions on a weekly basis and has yet to see a flood-damaged car for sale there, meaning they may not hit the market for a while yet.
Colleen Jayne was at Blue Spruce on Saturday filling out paperwork to buy a 2010 Subaru Legacy. She and her husband, George, live in Fourmile Canyon, where her previous car was totaled during the flood.
The couple said they have been weary of any car that might have been submerged in water, though they were more concerned about cars from the East Coast than from within Colorado during their search.
Colleen Jayne said she drove a used car from anther lot but did not like the way it ran and noticed it was from Florida, which is why she passed on it.
"We don't want flood-damaged cars," George Jayne said. "We checked the Carfax to make sure this one didn't come from New Jersey."

Several signs of slowing housing market, including a Tuesday report showing home price growth slowed down at the end of 2013, have raised investor worries heading into Home Depot's earnings release, but the largest U.S. home-improvement retailer managed to ease some of those concerns, sending the Dow component's shares up 2.4%.
"Our 2014 guidance is premised on the housing market as a continuing tailwind for our business," said Chief Executive Frank Blake on a conference call. "It's not our view that all housing metrics will sustain the growth rates from 2013 going forward. We do expect the housing recovery to continue and expect that home prices will increase even though at a lower rate and expect that affordability will support the home improvement market."
On the call, worries about whether or not Home Depot /quotes/zigman/229488/delayed /quotes/nls/hd HD , coming off its strongest same-store sales growth in 14 years in 2013, will continue to benefit from the housing market recovery were evident. Most questions centered on the company's outlook. Home Depot's smaller rival Lowe's Cos. /quotes/zigman/232508/delayed /quotes/nls/low LOW reports on Wednesday. Its stock was up almost 2%.
Home Depot Chief Financial Officer Carol Tome said that while the general housing market rebound contributed 2.5 percentage points to the company's sales growth in 2013, it expects that contribution to decrease to 2 percentage points this year.
Meanwhile, as the market saw a double-digit increase in home prices in 2013, Tome forecast that growth would slow this year to only a 6% gain. She added that the company hasn't seen a change in consumer spending patterns and said the retailer continues to see solid demand for higher-priced products.
Home Depot said its business targeted at professional contractors, an indicator of housing-market performance, also continued to improve. Meanwhile, as cold and snowy weather hurt sales in January, the company's stores in the western U.S. — where weather had the least impact — saw sales gains at twice the company average.
"We continue to believe we are in the moderate stage of housing recovery," she said. She added she's pleased to see Wells Fargo loosening its mortgage lending terms.
"That'll be good for new households buying their first house," she said. "Credit availability was the big driver of the housing recovery curve. We need to get millennials getting their first home."
Outside of the economic and job growth, Blake cited "credit availability" as a key concern. He also said housing turnover historically hasn't been a good predictor of the company's sales.
Home Depot lowered its full-year comparable sales outlook to a gain of 4.6% from a prior outlook of a 5% increase.
The company said sales would be hurt by commodity price deflation after last year's inflationary trend. Sales also would be hurt when compared to 2013's expansion of an assortment of new appliance offerings to 500 stores.
"We believe home-improvement spending still has some runway in 2014," said Canaccord Genuity analyst Laura Champine. Home "prices are still over 20% below their peak, indicating the growth trend should persist in the near term."

The DRM Death Ray Manta Review
- Publisher: PsychicParrot Games
- Genre: Action
- Released: 30 Jan, 2013
- Size: 18.9 MB
- Price: $0.99
- Top shelf audio and visual presentation.
- A re-imagining of Robotron 2084.
- A lot of personality.
- Controls do not give the functionality needed to tackle what the game is asking of you.
- Pretty hefty visual bug on the 3GS.
This is a hyper-kinetic Robotron 2064 that would be easy to recommend if the controls weren't fighting you every step of the way.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
The DRM Death Ray Manta is a game that I shall hereafter refer to as just Death Ray Manta. It is an exercise in sense-overload as you are bombarded with hyper-kinetic visuals, a pulsing soundtrack, and levels that either end in victory or defeat before you've even gotten your bearings. What type of game is it? Think Robotron 2084 with an epileptic makeover. It's been getting a lot of positive buzz around review circles if the quotes are to be believed, so let's see if there's anything to the hype.
Like Robotron or any other twin-stick shooter, Death Ray Manta uses the stick on the left for moving, and the stick on the right for shooting... except that you shoot while moving as well. Each level starts with your character surrounded by green and red bad-guys who move in for the kill. If you annihilate all of them, you move onto the next stage, and if they touch you, if you touch an obstacle, or if you get hit by any other brand of laser or missile fire, the game ends and you have to start over from square one. Often the stages are claustrophobic, and with the enemies surrounding you from the get-go, it's very easy to be overwhelmed immediately. This design calls for responsive and fluid movement, but unfortunately the controls don't offer this. Instead the best course of action is to shoot out a wide berth in one direction so you can run to a corner or wall and pick off everything closing in on your location. Of course with the lasers and other projectiles, this is near impossible in later stages, and thanks to the clunky movement, being on the move will result in death.
What the game lacks in fluid control however, it makes up for in phenomenal presentation. Not only do the colors, the particle effects, the sound effects, and the music come together to create a dizzying and hypnotic play experience, the developer has infused the game with a quirky personality from the names of the levels to the notes that litter the bottom of the screen. This game knows exactly what it is, and this strong sense of identity does a lot to leave the player with a positive look on the game, even with its control faults.
And finally just a quick word of warning. The game is optimized for the iPhone 5, and testing it on the 3GS resulted in the analogue sticks taking up half the screen, obscuring the majority of the gameplay. This should be easily patched, and if the controls can be patched likewise to make things a little more fluid, this will be a definite recommend, as any game that punches you in the face with its presentation like this deserves to at least be noticed... as redundant as that sounds.
DescriptionDeath Ray Manta is an ARENA SHOOTER for iOS devices where you blow stuff up and make pretty colours in the spirit of Minter, Jarvis and Fearon.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the extreme graphical nature of DRM, the older devices may not like it. Please do not buy unless you are running on an iPad2 or newer, iPod 2nd gen or newer or the iPhone 4 or newer.
Official This is DRM game trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrsZi0NRi1c
Death Ray Manta is an ARCADE GAME. Two sticks and a screen full of laser beams.
Death Ray Manta is based on the acclaimed PC/Mac game of the same name. Edge Magazine [8] and co-star of the Eurogamer Expo 2012.
Death Ray Manta iOS received a 4 out of 5 from 148apps.com and another 4 out of 5 from DigitalSpy.com.
Death Ray Manta does not waste your time. There is no guff, no IAP, no upgrades, just a videogame. Tap to start. Score higher.
Death Ray Manta is a game about blowing up stuff. All the stuff.
Death Ray Manta is videogames.
"It is bright, abrupt, jarring and wonderful." - Digital Spy 4/5
"Death Ray Manta is a psychedelic dual-stick shooter that fans of Jeff Minter's output and those who love pick-up-and-play games will absolutely love." - 148apps.com 4/5
Blasterifics - 5 stars
by SK177135 - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013
Addictive and colourful, a great conversion of the PC game of the same name.
A tail of melted thumbs and eyeballs - 5 stars
by mrijprice - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013
I'm never gonna get out of this alive! Death came swiftly. Death comes with a strange regularity. In a bunch of eye melting pixelly ways. Yours thumbs won't thank you. Your eyes won't thank you, but your brain will. How can something so pretty be so damned evil? Well, spawned from the bullet-hell spattered brain of Rob Fearon, how can it be any other way? Are games art? This question has been answered: loud and clear. Dead again. And again. And again. But progressing nicely with every game.
Excellent - 5 stars
by StephenParkes - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013
On a par with Super Hexagon in the best short game experience available on iOS while also jumping into the number one dual stick shooter on iOS. This is my favourite game if the year so far and developers are going to have to work hard to wrestle that accolade away from DRM.
I need faster thumbs! - 5 stars
by Spraydough - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013
Crazy fast, crazy tricky, crazy colourful, total fun! The best arena blaster I've seen for an age.
Beautiful! - 5 stars
by Krakatomato - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013
One of the prettiest games on iThing and an absolute joy to play..
Awesome festival of retro shooter goodness - 5 stars
by Retroeric - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013
Fast, furious, colourful, noisy, chaotic. Please sir, I cannot tell a lie, DRM is the dogs.
Very nice - 5 stars
by CorpusAbomino - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013
I'm not sure if I'm winning or losing but it's pretty awesome none the less. Very Minter-esque. Good controls and nice, colourful graphics.
Soft & brutal arena shooter - 5 stars
by alienbraincookies - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 30, 2013
Hypnotic, relentless, shiny and very challenging arena shooter... Shoot the glowy death, make stuff explode. ALL the stuff! I like how you can dip in and play casually, or attempt to take it seriously and laugh as it tears your teeth out. Love your manta!
More colours than Skittles and sherbet - 5 stars
by Uvtkingy - Version 1.0.42 - Jan 29, 2013
Stuff all these awful casual games and advert ridden atrocities. This is the real deal. Do you lament the demise of your local arcade emporium, then this is for. Do you like Robotron but with many many deaths. Then this is most certainly for you. Well, i enjoyed it anyway.
What's New in Version 1.2.41- Moved closer to the desktop version gameplay
- Audio improvements
- Texture quality improvements on retina devices
- Dual-stick controls removed to reflect the desktop experience
- Added splash screens and icons for more devices
- Fixed menu music bug
- iOS 8 support

Popularity in the porn industry is often fleeting. Some performers experience a meteoric rise and fall in the course of a year. Others connect with the audience on a different level and manage a multi-year ride at the top.
Though there is no real formula for success in this industry, these 12 performers have proven to be more than just a flash in the pan, with tremendous staying power over the past few years. What's more there are no signs their careers are in danger of waning anytime soon.
So, with the industry's annual expo underway in Las Vegas Jan. 6-9, we've assembled porn's dirty dozen—the most popular porn stars, based on our reporting and analysis.

The purpose of the exhibition
The Horizons of Czech Textile
(on view last year in the exhibition halls of The Design Centre of the Czech Republic in Prague and Brno) is to familiarize the public with the latest achievements in the Czech production of textiles, both traditional and technical, and to provide information about the quality of contemporary Czech textile design.
The development of textile production in industrialized countries, including the Czech Republic, must necessarily be focused on the manufacture of high added value products, so-called 'intelligent textiles' (also owing to the competitive nature of 'cheap textiles' from Asian countries). The unique properties of these fabrics predestine them to be applied in such fields as civil engineering, water management, food industry, agriculture, sanitary aids and protective clothing manufacture, medicine, the automotive industry, aviation, and the defence, chemical and space industries. These non-traditional fabrics, known as technical textiles, offer excellent prospects to Czech textile manufacturers: with respect to the high-tech production process involved, they need not momentarily concern themselves with cheap Asian competition. Moreover, the demand for these fabrics is rapidly growing. These goods are sought after not only by clients in the aforesaid industries, but ever more so by producers of footwear, carpets, sportswear fabrics and home textiles.
Clothing textiles, home furnishings and other types of fabrics, which – apart from practicality – fulfil an aesthetic function, are enhanced by added value not only through the use of synthetic fibres and materials (e.g. Gore-Tex, Sympatex, Moira, nanofibre non-woven fabrics), but also through original, imaginative and aesthetically pleasing designs created by skilful and experienced textile designers. Such fabrics are particularly interesting to producers of clothing textiles, interior design fabrics and limited-series textiles, to producers with a vision who respond flexibly and efficiently to the demands of the market, entailing processors of those producers' textile goods, as well as textile design studios and fashion houses.
Visitors to the exhibition will be able to inspect samples of a wide variety of textiles, arranged on display counters into colour groups that evoke the months of the seasons. On panels, they will find a presentation of some thirty fields in which fabrics are used today. The exhibition catalogue will explore momentous events in the history of textile-making in the Bohemian lands, from prehistoric times to the present.
The organizers' objective has been to evoke the atmosphere of textile trends exhibitions, salons and trade fairs. The exhibition will include an array of illustrative material and written documents mapping the current situation of Czech textile. Some one thousand annotated pattern samples, which the visitors are invited to touch, will also be displayed on the counters.

About this font family
Relato Sans is the other face of Relato Serif (a typeface with much idiosyncrasy) nevertheless, the sans version of this typeface is more austere and aseptic. A humanistic type, with a contemporary cut, created for general use in texts and holders and with a great variety of weights, which allow enough flexibility for projects of great magnitude. Although leading with an independent family it maintains many of the characteristics of its homologous such as proportions, the "x" height, the construction based on air lines of the italic, ornaments and so on. These details show coherence with the serif version, and at the same time reinforce its personality. Being a multifunctional type, the "kerning" has been worked to function in small sizes as well as in larger ones such as holders. The contrast between weights, was optimized to be used in pairs (Light with Semibold, Regular with Bold and Medium with Black). Relato Sans is presented in 6 different weights, in Roman, Italic, Small Caps and Small Caps Italic with three different styles of numerals, Old style figures, Lining figures and Small Caps figures.

A Change of Heart // Yosemite Bound
We spent the past few days shacked up on the backside of the Yosemite mountains overlooking Walker Lake, in the most enchanting little log cabin you could possibly imagine. Part of a long standing private retreat established way back in the 1920s, when it was still possible to purchase and build on land attached to Yosemite's backyard. A lot where Roosevelt stayed and woman were originally forbidden, and has since become an elite vacation spot to a mere 30 very lucky members currently holding cabin keys. The only reason we were so fortunate is because Mike's father has serviced the property's fire extingushers for the past 30 years, with an open cabin for a week a year as trade, and this year, they kindly offered us one for our family to stay in as well.
But, there is a little story behind it.
Per my last post: "
I'm taking a break because I need to get stuff done"
was exactly what we had in mind for the days ahead. Deciding to skip the trip we had originally planned on because of all the "stuff" we had going on. Let's get caught up. We'll go next year. For sure. Too much going right now, is what we concluded -- A reasonable decision we had both come to except after days of mulling over the fact of it, despite having promised ourselves this would be the year we finally made it back up there (
we went as a dating couple many years ago
) However, breaking the same news to a six year old proved sorely outside of the "ration" we had come to settle on, and landed straight into a full fledged screaming fit tinged with good 'ole fashioned heartache, and bitter raw resentment. In the midst of it, we realized he was right. Why couldn't all the other things wait, why should we miss out on something so special, with family, in this surreal setting that other people would give their right arm to experience. So, we packed up and ditched every single obligation on our plate. Tossed our clothes in a filthy car, grabbed some fruit and sandwiches and headed up the 395. The drive was long. The kids were loud and the dog was great (
except for that little incident when we all jumped out of the car at the gas station in bishop and he locked us out, costing us 65 dollars in towing assistance and an hour lost on the road)
It was incredible. In those few days we watched Arlo fish with his grandpa. See the boys learn about catch and release, rainbow trout, lava rocks, volcanos, stacking stones, checkers, and brand new card games. We took naps, went to breakfast, walked back and forth to that big beautiful lake, ate dinner with his parents, and watched Rex toss pebbles into the water and Leon complain about a missing flashlight all day long. It was the best. And Yosemite was just beyond what I (or these photos) could possibly begin to try and explain. Magnificent in all it's huge, striking gray granite glory. Too big for regular people with regular words to even start to tackle without sounding like pathetically failing poets. I won't try, except to say that it was well worth the headache we came back to, struggling to get back ahead of all that we jumped shipped on.
It will happen. It always does. But at least we can now remember that this year, the first of Fall was met in that gorgeous little home in the woods watching the sun fall behind the water, and not in a shady garage watching dad run power tools and mom sweep the floors.
Thanks Arlo.
For the push.

I love the birthday cake trend right now with sprinkles in the batter; they add color and fun to a simple sponge. I also love how "birthday cake" has now become a prominent flavor in ice cream and other desserts. Who can resist that vanilla cake batter flavor with sprinkles?
Some more of my summer recipes: Cherry Clafoutis, Lemon-Syrup Tea Cake, Peach & Blueberry Pie, Lemon Tarts, Plum Cake, Strawberries & Cream Fairy Cakes.
Victoria Sponge Birthday Cake
(makes 1 cake)
- 1 cup butter (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (well sifted)
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup of colorful sprinkles (plus extra for decoration)
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream (double cream)
- 1 tablespoon confectioners sugar (plus extra for dusting on top)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam (or strawberry)
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with oil and then dust lightly with flour.
- In a large bowl whisk together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs, vanilla, salt, and lemon zest. Sift in the flour and baking powder, whisk until smooth. Mix in the sprinkles.
- Add the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden and an inserted skewer comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool on a rack.
- For the filling, whisk together the heavy cream, confectioners sugar and vanilla extract until the cream is whipped to soft peaks.
- Cut the cake in half horizontally and spread each inner side with raspberry jam. Then dollop the whipped cream onto the lower half of the cake and spread out evenly. Add the top half of the cake on top of the cream, jam side down.
- Dust the top of the cake with confectioners sugar and more sprinkles.

California lettersheet collection
circa 1850-1870
Kemble Spec Col 09
The collection consists of California lettersheets, mostly pictorial, created approximately between the years 1850 and 1870, with the bulk dating from the 1850s. Pictorial lettersheets are illustrated with lithographs or wood engravings depicting California and Western themes. Intended to be used as stationery during and after the California Gold Rush, these lettersheets served as a kind of reportage, depicting important events and popular stories of the day. Common illustrated topics and scenes include: murders and executions; the San Francisco Vigilance Committee; natural disasters, especially fires (San Francisco) and floods (Sacramento); the Gold Rush; mining life (from perspectives sentimental, cautionary, and comic); festivals, holidays, and parades; buildings and street scenes; and views of San Francisco, Sacramento, and towns throughout the state's mining region.

Adopt a Box 21st Anniversary Competition!
Adopt a Box is celebrating its 21st birthday this year. The scheme was founded by Colin Shawyer, developed by colleagues in the Hawk and Owl Trust and launched in October 1992 by Chris Packham, who is now the Trust's president.
By adopting a box, supporters contribute to the Trust's conservation, research and education work for owls and other birds of prey in the wild. Trust members can give the anniversary year a great boost by becoming an adopter themselves or by giving Adopt a Box as individual presents to friends, relatives and groups such as brownies, cubs, WI etc.
There are seven regions of Britain in which you can adopt and the Trust will send an adoption pack to you or your 'signed-up' recipients. Adopters receive two newsletters a year and an end of year report on what's been happening in their adopted nest box.
Every Trust member who signs up themselves or recruits new adopters will have the chance of winning a stunning original barn owl watercolour donated by artist Daniel Cole, similar to the one shown above. Daniel was awarded the Hawk and Owl Trust's 2011 Roger Clarke Award at the Society of Wildlife Artists' exhibition. Existing adopters will be taking part in the draw too and so the member or adopter who enrols the most number of adopters will be the lucky prize-winner.
Signing up is so easy! Click on the Adopt a Box Quick Link.
In the event of a tie then a draw will be made to decide the winner. Leaflets with the sign up form attached can be obtained from the Trust's Office on 0844 984 2824 or Click Here to email.
The closing date for completed forms and online adoptions for this competition is 31st December 2013 and so please help by recruiting at least one adopter or by becoming an adopter yourself.

Eva Fehren
Black Diamond Kissing Claw Ringeva-4410b
Influenced by the rugged, urban terrain of her native New York City, Eva Fehren has created an edgy, modern alternative to the traditional diamond wedding band. The two points of the dark and captivating blackened 18K white gold and black diamond encrusted band almost touch in the center and result in a graceful dip perfectly suited for one of her diamond solitaires. Alone or paired with another ring, it exudes a striking, contemporary and style-defining confidence.

NEW YORK CITY - The Eva Fehren fine jewelry collection is influenced by the architectural, geometric and visual elements of her native New York City. Trained under jewelers Monique Péan and Philip Crangi, Eva Zuckerman was trained in Fine Arts at Cooper Union. "My interest in jewelry starts with the simple line. In my artwork I have always been fascinated by how the quality of a line represents an action; you can create a story, a space or the feeling of time with just a few marks....I become inspired by the balance and symmetry of something as simple as the arc of an ellipse, or an 'x'." Both feminine and modern, her collection has a sophisticated simplicity.

On an autumn night in 1852, amateur astronomer Hermann Goldschmidt was observing the skies from the balcony of his Paris apartment when his small telescope revealed a speck of light that no one had ever seen before: an asteroid. It was named Lutetia, for the Roman city that became Paris.
For the next century and a half, Lutetia remained little more than a speck of light in astronomers' telescopes. But last July scientists got to know it a lot better when the Rosetta spacecraft flew by it. The European probe found that Lutetia is dense and heavy, indicating that it's probably a solid chunk of rock and metal, and not a loosely held together "rubble pile" as many other asteroids are.
Lutetia is the largest asteroid yet visited by a spacecraft -- an average diameter of about 75 miles -- so there was a lot for Rosetta to see. Its pictures showed that the surface is covered with a layer of dirt that's more than a third of a mile thick. The dirt has formed over the eons as other space rocks have pounded Lutetia, pulverizing the asteroid's surface.
Collisions by some of the bigger space rocks have left impact craters -- hundreds of them are visible in Rosetta's pictures. As scientists draw maps of Lutetia's surface, they'll name many of the craters and other features in the pictures. And they already have a theme for the names: cities, rivers, and provinces of the Roman Empire and surrounding lands at the time Rome controlled the city of Lutetia.

My Crew Captain Shark, Johnny, Abraham, Man, Girl, Saark, Austyn, Ham, and TT going to The Antorian homeworld confident that we were going to win. When we got into Antoria space we were met by an Antorian Battleship. Being hailed and disagreeing we go into battle hoping to win, but within the first 4 minutes my engine room is in flames, my medic room being assaulted, and my Machine gun got hit and destroyed. The game looked like it was over for me than with ham an TT we went and assaulted the antorians in the medic room in a last ounce of health Ham through a grenade killing him and TT in the blast and putting the medic room out of business. With the antorians invasion down for now I decided to send out Man and Girl to fix our medic room. After they fixed it I sent johnny to the machine gun room but while walking there a laser made a whole breach that sent Johnny out into the deep dark soundless space, gone he was there and then he was gone. With my machine gun room down I had no choice but to send Man to help the plasma cannon. Two minutes later,my armory destroyed, my bridge a blaze I had no choice but to pray and send every one to the plasma cannon. In a last hope Me, Abraham, Man, Girl, and Saark ran for our life towards the plasma cannon but in a split second a bunch of antorians appeared before me with no choice me and my troops had to fight for our lifes, One minute later, Girl is dead, Abraham injured, We ran to the plasma cannon with Austin helping us we all got in but when we got in a hull breach opened sucking Austin out into the cold dead space filled with my ships parts. I had no choice but get on the plasma cannon and within minutes I destroyed the antorian battleship but at what cost? After defeating Me and Saark were the only ones left we were the lucky ones then out of no where captain micari came out and within minutes my ship was destroyed, my troops bodies floating in space with mine with it with my ship the Lucky Ducky pieces with me, "The Captain goes down with ship". I was told by one of my crew members and unfortunately it happened

Poll Results
How many times have you or your child had a retinal photograph as part of your diabetes eye care?
More than twice
I wasn't aware that a retinal photograph was part of diabetes eye care
I don't know what a retinal photograph is
How many times have you or your child had a retinal photograph as part of your diabetes eye care?Poll dates: March 18 - 25, 2001
Total Votes: 535
More than 50% of last week's poll respondents were either unaware of the need for a retinal photography or did not what it is. This procedure is known as fundus photography and it extremely important in the early detection of diabetic retinopathy.
While vision-threatening retinopathy virtually never appears in type 1 patients in the first 3-5 years of diabetes or before puberty, after 20 years duration of diabetes, nearly all patients with type 1 and more than 60% of patients with type 2 will have some degree of retinopathy. It's progression is orderly, from a few small "dot hemorrhages" to more extensive damage caused by the growth of new blood vessels on the retina to, at it's worst, total blindness. The good news is that if caught early, retinopathy can be treated and permanent vision loss prevented.
The best way to prevent diabetic eye disease is to maintain or improve blood glucose control. Both the DCCT and the UKPDS clearly demonstrated a definitive relationship between retinopathy and blood glucose control. The results of both studies showed that while intensive management does not completely prevent retinopathy, the risk for its development and progression can be significantly reduced.
The key to prevention of vision loss is early detection and treatment. For this reason, the following is recommended in the American Diabetes Association Clinical Practice Recommendations:
- Dilated exams by an eye care provider with experience in the management of diabetic retinopathy. In patients under age 11, this should be performed 5 years after onset, or at puberty (whichever is earlier), and annually thereafter. In patients with post-pubertal onset, a dilated eye exam should be performed at the time of diagnosis and annually thereafter. All pregnant women who have pre-existing diabetes should have a dilated exam done prior to conception and during the first trimester.
- The "gold standard" for screening retinopathy is fundus photography. This consists of seven 30-degree fields using stereoscopic techniques through dilated eyes Photography has the advantage over a simple dilated exam because it provides a hard copy, which can be compared with subsequent photographs thereby allowing for early detection of very slight changes. The photographs can be taken by a mobile unit with a camera and a technician and are later assessed by a trained eye care professional.

A Florida jury acquitted George Zimmerman on Saturday for the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, setting free a man who had become a polarizing figure in the national debate over racial profiling and self-defense laws.
The panel of six women deliberated more than 16 hours over two days until nearly 10 p.m. on Saturday (0200 GMT Sunday) before delivering the verdict, which drew immediate condemnation from some civil rights groups.
Zimmerman appeared stoned-faced as the verdict was announced, but then showed a slight smile of relief. His parents embraced each other and his wife was tearful.
"I think the prosecution of George Zimmerman was disgraceful," said his attorney Don West. "As happy as I am for George Zimmerman, I'm thrilled that this jury kept this tragedy from becoming a travesty."
Outside the courthouse, the decision drew angry shouts from some of the dozens of demonstrators who had gathered during the day in support of Martin's family.
"People were crying. It showed the justice system does not have their backs," said Jared Hamil, 25, aTampa warehouse worker.
Martin's parents were not in the court during the reading of the verdict. But his father, Tracy Martin, later tweeted that his son would have been proud of the fight put up for him.
"Even though I am broken hearted my faith is unshattered," he wrote. "Together can make sure that this doesn't happen again."
Zimmerman, 29, who is white and Hispanic, said Martin, 17, attacked him on the night of February 26, 2012, in the central Florida town of Sanford. Prosecutors contend the neighborhood watch volunteer in his gated community was a "wannabe cop" who tracked down the teenager and shot him without justification.
The jury could have convicted him of second-degree murder, which would have carried a sentence of up to life in prison, or manslaughter. The jurors, who remain anonymous, declined to speak to the press.
"Today, justice failed Trayvon Martin and his family," Roslyn Brock, who chairs the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said in a statement.
"We call immediately for the Justice Department to conduct an investigation into the civil rights violations committed against Trayvon Martin. This case has re-energized the movement to end racial profiling in theUnited States."
Civil rights activist Jesse Jackson tweeted within minutes of the acquittal: "Avoid violence, it will lead to more tragedies. Find a way for self construction not deconstruction in this time of despair."
What happened in Sanford that February night may never have gone beyond the back pages of a local newspaper if police had immediately arrested Zimmerman.
But he walked free for more than six weeks after the shooting, because police believed his assertion of self-defense, triggering protests and cries of injustice across the country.
This forced the resignation of Sanford's police chief, and brought U.S. Justice Department scrutiny to this town of 54,000 residents not far from Disney World in Orlando.
It also drew comment from President Barack Obama, who said: "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon."
The Seminole County Sheriff's Office said it had heard nothing about any potential violent reaction to the verdict in and around Sanford, where about 30 percent of the residents are black.
Near a makeshift memorial to Martin in Sanford, only a few people showed up after the verdict.
"It's very quiet so far," spokeswoman Kim Cannaday told Reuters after the jury's decision was handed down.
Reaction around the country also appeared peaceful in the hours after the verdict.
About 40 protesters gathered at Daley Plaza in downtown Chicago, said Officer Ron Gaines, a spokesman for the Chicago Police Department. Officers were watching the gathering, he said.
In San Francisco, news video footage showed a few hundred protesters marching through the middle of a street, with some holding signs and others raising their fists in the air. Police vehicles followed them on the sidelines of the march.

Does it help at all to say that some of at least understand what you are going through? Probably not but there - I have said something too...not sure how I managed that.

If it's any consolation, if they are approaching degrees, they will be in charge of their own budgets. Get one of them to be a banker or CEO and take care of you back!
More seriously, I do understand too. I work evening shifts so that I can write in the day. I find walking the dog on my day off helps, feels like a mini-holiday. And sleep, of course.

Haven't we all had days like this!! Thank you for putting this so wittily - making us laugh is the best antidote to all those moments when it all feels impossible.

to quote Larkin (if that's not too pretentious) there's a toad in my road too - the endless cycle of keeping the breadcrumbs on the table so that you can have time to write. Fortunately I have partner whose favourite food is left overs.There's no way I will give up - not until the masterpiece is created.Thanks for sharing.

Andrew, keep at it. That's really all I can say.
So many of us writers know exactly what you mean. OK, some get lucky, some of the time, but mostly it's hard slog for very little reward. Except the rewards of the actual writing, and those are very difficult to keep in view at times.
Kepp at it. We will all be the poorer if you don't write your books.

You found the answer to writer's block, just right anything every day when you get up and do this for an hour without stopping, do this for a month. It's an old trick but it works.

"A triumph of hope over amphibians" - I love that. If you wrote the whole post to get that bit, it was time well invested.
Yes, some writers have earning partners. Not fair, is it? You *can* (or least *could*) support children on writing income alone, as long as they quite like scraps and going barefoot. My waifs will confirm as much. But then the writing has to take on some toad-like aspects.
Keep going.... Life is indeed one thing after another, until there are no more things.

Much sympathy and recognition. Bloody soul-destroying how hard it is to survive financially on this writing lark, and how hard it can be to keep writing.
I also find it soul-destroying being asked to do public-speaking for nothing. I say this because I'm on a train back from London to Edinburgh, after travelling to do a talk for no fee, for which I probably spent four hours prep, and answered 40 emails and two phone calls, as well as at least another hour admin, two days travelling and had to get up at 6 this morning. And paid for dog-sitting fees and food on my journeys. And I AM NOT DOING A FREE TALK AGAIN. There were 1000 people in the audience and they had all paid to come.
Somehow, we have to work out which bits of our work we want to do and which bits could earn some money and try to balance the right amounts of each.
Keep with us, Andrew!

Do real steamrollers still exist? YES! They are always up and down our main road on their way to steam jollies in country parks. I'll ask one of them to come by your house and pick you up. It would do you the world of good to drive one over your obligations and flatten them.
Please don't stop writing. Your books are wonderful.

Linda O Grady
After graduating from Edinburgh Art School in 1992, Linda joined the mainstream Graphic Design discipline, whilst painting commissioned portraits in her free time. 2002 saw her devote all her time to her painting and the business name Girl on a Mission was born out of her determination to succeed. Linda believes we are on the brink of a rekindling of the popularity of portraiture, finding that her work has a place on any wall in any home or business. Anxious to dispel the myth that having your portrait painted means sitting stock still in a draughty artist's studio for days on end, Linda paints her subjects in an environment of their own choice (where they will feel at home and relaxed) and can complete a single subject portrait in less than two hours. The speed with which Linda works gives her portraits a feeling of energy and looseness. Linda has had a number of single and group exhibitions over the years, as well as having a portrait exhibited in the National Portrait Gallery in London, as part of the BP Portrait Award. She is also often working on personal projects that have seen her paint the portraits of Tony Hart, Johnny Ball, Tommy Sheridan MSP and Jackie McNamara (Celtic FC). As a result of these projects, Linda has recently completed a commission from Tony Hart of his grandson Alistair. The best portraits are undoubtedly painted from life, but Linda will paint from photographs where necessary.

Guake is a top-down terminal for GNOME (in the style of Yakuake for KDE, Tilda or the terminal used in Quake).
Install guake, available in the official repositories.
Also the development version is available and in the AUR: guake-gitAUR.
Once installed, you can start Guake from the terminal with:
$ guake
After guake has started you can right click on the interface and select Preferences to change the hotkey to drop the terminal automatically, by default it is set to F12.
You may want Guake to load on starting up Desktop Environment. To do this, you need to
# cp /usr/share/applications/guake.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/
Window width
Guake takes all the width of your display by default and there's no such option in "Preferences". To change width you can edit the program itself which is python script.
# nano /usr/bin/guake
Find that string
width = 100
It is width value in percents, change it to whatever you like.
If you want to align new "narrowed" window left or right find string
if halignment == ALIGN_CENTER:
and replace CENTER with LEFT or RIGHT.
'Ctrl' Keybind Problem
As of guake 0.4.2-7, there has been a noted bug affecting multiple users concerning the use of the 'Ctrl' key on the Keyboard Shortcuts to toggle guake visibility in the "Keyboard shortcuts" tab of guake-prefs (i.e. Users that setup 'Ctrl+Shift+z' to open the guake console can open it by pressing 'Shift+z', hence having the Ctrl key-bind irrelevant.
There is a bug in the program that stores the settings in Toggle Guake Visibility that places the Ctrl string as "<Primary>" instead of "<Control>".
The workaround is to use the command-line gconftool-2 from gconf package, get the current string shortcut string from /apps/guake/keybindings/global/show_hide, and replace all instances of "<Primary>" to "<Control>".
To get what the current keyboard shortcut string is:
# gconftool-2 -g /apps/guake/keybindings/global/show_hide
To activate the guake console with Ctrl+Shift+z for example:
# gconftool-2 -t string -s /apps/guake/keybindings/global/show_hide "<Control><Shift>z"
It would be easier to use the graphical gconftool equivalent gconf-editor to browse for and edit the /apps/guake/keybindings/global/show_hide string. Replace "<Primary>" in the string with "<Control>".
Alternatively you can use this script to replace instances of <Primary> with <Control> in the /apps/guake/keybindings/global/show_hide string:
if which gconftool-2 &> /dev/null then val=$(printf "%s" $(gconftool-2 -g /apps/guake/keybindings/global/show_hide)) newval=${val/"<Primary>"/"<Control>"} if [ "$newval" = "$val" ] then echo "No changes made. Could not find or replace <Primary> in your settings." else echo "Replacing old string $val with new string:$newval" gconftool-2 -t string -s /apps/guake/keybindings/global/show_hide "$newval" fi else echo "gconftool-2 not found. Please install gconf. Exiting..." fi

Everyone Makes Mistakes
It's funny how, without even meaning to, Willie teaches me so much about life.
My husband and I are on vacation with my parents and brother, and I've been savoring the simple pleasure of doing life alongside my family. Sometimes, having no plan but to relax and enjoy one another's company can yield surprising results. Yesterday afternoon was a perfect example. At the time, Willie was watching "Sesame Street," which featured a story entitled "Everyone Makes Mistakes." Since I wasn't busy, I pulled up a chair and watched with him. It had been years since I'd seen the episode, but still, I knew it well.
In case this short didn't feature as prominently in your childhood as it did in mine, here's the story. One day, Big Bird and Little Bird are walking around Sesame Street. Big Bird doesn't watch where he's going, and walks into his neighbor's clothes line, scattering clean laundry on the ground. It's an honest mistake, but he's distressed. What will neighbor Mrs. Washington say? And so Big Bird begins to invent scenarios, each one wilder than the last. A circus came through Sesame Street, and the giraffes scattered the laundry! A rodeo rode by and knocked the clothes down! A fire truck sped through the sheets! A tornado hit! ("Hang on to your feathers, Little Bird!" Big Bird cries.) All the while, Little Bird keeps piping up, "Big Bird, why don't you …?" He's trying to say, "Why don't you tell the truth?" but Big Bird interrupts; he doesn't want to hear it. That is, until Mrs. Washington arrives. Big Bird starts to tell his stories, but then he recounts what really happened. Mrs. Washington accepts his apology, and Big Bird helps her re-wash the clothes. Once again, all is well on Sesame Street.
As the episode ended, Willie clicked on another video, but I sat still, pondering what we'd seen. I thought about how important that video's message is for my brother and me. We are a pair of perfectionists. We'd like to think that, if we just try hard enough, we can avoid errors altogether. And I don't think we're alone in this struggle.
In both "Sesame Street" and life, I see a pattern. We encounter a problem, a reality we'd rather not face. So we invent a thousand stories in our minds about what might have happened, what we wish would happen … anything but reality. This is perfectly reasonable; after all, reality can be brutal. In reality, mistakes are made. And we'd rather do just about anything other than admit our part in them. We'd rather tell tall tales than be vulnerable. I know, because this is how I used to operate during the dark time when Willie was having meltdowns every day. I didn't understand what was happening—no one did—so I blamed my brother. I told myself that my brother was lost, that he was intentionally hurting himself and us. Why? Because the reality—that he wasn't in control of his behavior, but he was still himself; that he did love us, but couldn't show it—seemed too painful to bear. But that's the thing about the truth. It seems so scary, but it's actually liberating in a way that lies can never be.
This morning, my family headed out for a bike ride, and I snapped a picture of them standing in the sun. The air smelled like sunscreen, and my parents and brother looked beautifully, entirely ordinary.
"Have fun on your ride! And hang on to your feathers, Little Bird!" I said to Willie, and he laughed. "Hang on to your feathers!" he echoed, with a big smile. He loves it when I quote from his favorite videos. I used to think that speaking in "video" was silly; now, I'm just thankful to see my brother smiling back at me. I used to think that the world would end if I made a mistake; now, I know that everybody makes mistakes. I used to pledge allegiance to my own explanations; now, I find that people can surprise you, that being in the here and now is better than any story I could invent.

I am late in getting to John Canemaker's The Moon and the Son. I never saw it in its original release and have only now caught up to it on DVD. The film won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short in 2005 and it deals with the relationship between John Canemaker and his father.
There's been no shortage of father-son relationship issues in recent animated features. Finding Nemo, Chicken Little, Ratatouille, and How to Train Your Dragon come to mind. In each of these films, though, it is the child who is misunderstood and the parent has to come around to understanding and accepting the child. In The Moon and the Son, both father and son are misunderstood by each other and as the film is Canemaker's attempt to understand the relationship after his father's death, no real resolution is possible. That's the difference between a film for children and a film for adults. Canemaker doesn't privilege his own point of view over his father's and paint himself as the victim. Both he and his father are victims due to circumstances beyond their control. The question is not who is right and who is wrong. That's too simplistic. The question is how do people deal with what life throws at them and how does it affect their relationships with others? The older I get, the more I think about Jean Renoir's line in his film The Rules of the Game. "The horrible thing about life is that everyone has his reasons."
Canemaker's father had anger issues. Whether that anger was due to his personality or his circumstances is left to the viewer. He had a hardscrabble life, typical of working class immigrants and he kept his old world values. Canemaker was embarrassed by his father's jail time and intimidated by his temper. While Canemaker escaped the family as an adult, his relationship with his father could be reduced but not resolved.
The history and conflicts in the film are portrayed through animation as well as still photographs, home movies and newspaper clippings. This allows the film to move freely between emotion and fact and that's what gives the film its power. This isn't an abstract history but something that had real consequences for the film maker.
The voices in the film are Eli Wallach, portraying Canemaker's father, and John Turturro, portraying Canemaker himself. Based on the story reel that is an extra on the DVD, I'm guessing that Wallach and Turturro did not record together. That's a pity. Wallach's reading is excellent, though Turturro's is a bit stiff. I'm sure that if they had the opportunity to work off each other, Turturro's performance would have been fuller. In many ways, I prefer Canemaker's own reading in the story reel to Turturro's.
The other extras on the DVD are two galleries of artwork and an on-camera interview with John Canemaker and producer Peggy Stern.
