love them so far overall but a little noisy
claudia moulden
Excellent tires always use this brand. Everything great and quick delivery with simple tire only thing is coupon code didn’t work.j
Tim Quick
I haven't had these tire very long. They arrived quickly and was sooner than expected. They have a very quiet ride, and handle very well. They seem to be excellent tires. These tires seem to be as good or better than the original Michelins at 3/4. the cost. Original tires got 51,000 miles. Hoping to get more from the Pirells. This is my first set of Pirellis and I am very pleased so far.

Enemy Within The Gates

The bearded Iranian we met on the campus of the University of Western Australia was telling us how they faced off the Shah of Iran's personal body guards. And he wasn't talking about planting a flower in their rifle barrel. He was lobbing molotov cocktails. There's a joke about the boring city, that in event of World War III breaking out, Perth would be the last peaceful city on earth. Reflecting on his macho talk, we wondered how he ended up a student in Australia. And whether he later became one of Ayatollah Khomeini's hostage takers featured in "Argo" the movie. As far as we can recollect, terrorism 101 was not an elective.

Pulitzer Prize winner Sydney Schanberg, he of "Killing Fields" fame, was in Dacca to report on the violent birth of Bangladesh - Bengali for Bengal Nation - when he wrote in one of his dispatches:
"Bengali youths, who just over three months ago were exultantly marching through the streets and shouting their slogans of defiance at the military regime, now talk in whispers, slipping up to foreign newsmen for a few seconds to murmur some information about a massacre, the murder of a family member or the destruction of a village."

Some of those youngsters could be in our midst right now. Desperate men who, armed only with sticks, spears and home-made rifles, have battled the West Pakistani military equipped with planes, bombs, tanks and heavy artillery. Compared to their war scars, Little India was a walk in the park.

We are also housing Cambodians who survived the "agrarian revolution" of the Khmer Rouge and experienced the brutal dictatorship of Hun Sen and his murderous security police. Burmese who may have confronted the military junta who locked up prominent human rights activist, Aung San Suu Kyi, fortunate to survive an assassination attempt. Pinoys who may have marched on the long stretch of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, more commonly known by its acronym EDSA, in support of the People Power Revolution that unseated Ferdinand Marcos. Thais who could be rooting for their home team in the streets of Bangkok.

That's quite a toxic mix in our melting pot, sanctioned by the Population White Paper. No wonder our firemen turned tail and reversed their vehicle in a hurry, ramming a police car long abandoned by equally terrified cops.

A fifth column is a group of people who undermine a larger group, such as a nation or a besieged city, from within. In the United States at the end of the 1930s, as involvement in the European war loomed, those who feared the possibility of betrayal from within used the newly coined term "fifth column" as shorthand for sedition and disloyalty. If Yaacob Ibrahim is paranoid about cyber warriors, he and the trigger happy "keechiu" general may wish to expand their horizon to scan for real trouble from within our shores.

  1. From 3m to 7m..huat ah..! Come, anybody can play. When 2 in 3 becomes a foreigner in red-dot, not only would firemen and policemen scrambled for their lives, let alone a paper general, the leaders will run too (if they make it fast enough) to their private jets in changi.

    Let's remind ourselves again, how Gaddaffi was defiant to the very last breadth. He asked the attacker - what did I do to you. They replied - what did you not do for us?

  2. tattler, you are great.

  3. Haha.......

    The Day Of Reckoning will arrive.

    It will not fail.

    But, there will be no Gaddafi here.

    They not so stupid like him.

    They have France for protection.

    France, the Land for political refugees.

  4. Great piece. Our villages have been destroyed but the villagers from the countries you mention are here at the invitation of the incumbents. Maybe a yearning for yesteryear? Like the calls for lost hawker fare? Let us worry about the fifth column later. LIke the rioters, we can always deport them without the cumbersome court processes.

  5. You forgot Tiananmen?
    "If I have to shoot 200,000 students to save China from another 100 years of disorder, so be it."
    - Lee Kuan Yew

    1. Very soon he will met the 200,000.

    2. I shudder at the values of a man who would not hesitate over the death of 200,000 students.
      In exchange for what?
      An orderly society that is so out of touch with reality that even the elites believe in their own bullshit.

    3. The little India riot has actually made LKY look silly when not a single shot was fired with a crowd of just 400 let alone 200, 000 students. Surprisingly he has remained silent on the way things have been handled by his son, the police and army, especially taking into account the generals, admirals in his son's cabinet.
      He must have seen the videos of how 400 unarmed south Asian crowd can force a hasty retreat of the men in blue. Our surrounding neighbours will surely take note of this, acquiring the latest military hardware counts for nothing when the leaders are essentially cowardly and have little support from its people. LOL

  6. PAP has imported trouble for us. Singapore will sink.

  7. Honestly, Tatler you would seem to make a better prince than our clown with the breadth & depth of your brains. Regrettably if your father had been LKY or even GCT, I think we would have achieved the Swiss standard of living without all those PAP empty promises !!!

  8. Did you hear this video?

    Gadaffi is called the vampire of Libya.

  9. Who are the REAL enemies of this country, the ones who sold this country away, the Quislings? Are these migrant workers the Fifth Column? Maybe some, those who benefited from the largesse of this regime, like the Employment Pass holders; but not the majority menial work permit holders, who are themselves being exploited. The Quislings, the enemies within, are the Establishment and their elites, cronies and connections, who run this country for their own aggrandizement, and not for the benefit of the people and the good of the country.

    There is this adage, that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Therefore the exploited migrant workers are the friends of the people, they are in the same sampan v2, and are the enemies of the Establishment. Their brave actions to rid the shackles, considered as "trouble" to the Establishment, are commendable, until the insidious policies of this Regime are reversed, or there is a change of Regime.

  10. Well....

    I don't intend to fight for the PAP gov't.

    They can go fight all the troubles they actually created and are fully responsible for...

    Please also note they are also already very "well paid" by the peoples of Singapore.

    So let them do the sacrificing and dying themselves.

    I just pop out the Tele and eat pop-corns + watch the stupidity as it unfolds.

    Stupid is as Stupid does.

Truths by Ruth

On my way to lunch the other day I cut down a back street to avoid traffic. The sun was shining. A soft breeze blew. It was one of those magical fall days that I love so well. Perfect weather. Not too hot. Not too cold. Just right. I glanced over into a manicured yard and saw a huge tree dressed in its best fall coat of brilliant red. The sun hit the leaves and the whole tree dazzled in fire. Totally awesome. I stopped the car in the middle of the street, sat there, and drank in the beauty. It was one of those, stop and smell the roses, moment.

I asked God some questions: Did you really plan all of this when you made the world? How and why did you determine, “well in summer my trees will be green but in the fall I’ll change them into…

The Cuala Press

In celebration of Women’s History Month, we’re highlighting the work of one of the first female fine press printers, Elizabeth Corbet Yeats (1868-1940). Elizabeth was the sister of poet William Butler Yeats.

Elizabeth, known as “Lolly,” and her sister Susan, called “Lily,” were both involved in the Arts & Crafts movement in England and Ireland. Lily trained with May Morris at Morris & Co. and Lolly trained at the Women’s Printing Society in London. They were involved in a Dublin-area crafts guild, Dun Emer, Lolly overseeing a small press (Dun Emer Press) and Lily overseeing an embroidery workshop. In 1908 the Yeats sisters established their own enterprise, Cuala Industries, and Lolly changed her imprint to the Cuala Press. The press issued the work of many Irish Literary Revival authors, including William Butler Yeats.

Special Collections owns about two dozen examples of works from the Dun Emer and Cuala Presses as part of our Edwardian Literature Collection.

Minutes from excommunication of Orson Pratt, Jr.

L. Tom Perry Special Collections is pleased to announce the availability of a new digitized collection: Minutes from excommunication of Orson Pratt, Jr. (MSS 6954). This document describe the court proceedings in the trial of Orson Pratt, Jr., son of LDS Apostle Orson Pratt. His trial, held on September 18, 1864 was a public meeting held to determine whether Pratt should retain his membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As a result of the trial, Pratt was excommunicated. The single leaf of paper holds roughly ninety-nine lines of handwritten material from the trial. Dated 1864.

Orson Pratt, Sr. (1811-1881)

Orson Pratt (1837-1903) was a musician and music instructor in Salt Lake City, Utah. Pratt was born in Kirtland, Ohio on July 11th to Orson and Sarah Pratt. Pratt was excommunicated from the Latter-day Saint Church in 1864 after refusing Brigham Young’s request to serve a mission and publicly denouncing Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter-day Saint movement. He died on December 6, 1903 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Pioneer of Southern Utah and Las Vegas – John Steele papers

John Steele (1821-1903), pioneer of Southern Utah and Las Vegas, Nevada

L. Tom Perry Special Collections is pleased to announce the availability of a new digitized collection: John Steele papers (Vault MSS 528). This collection contains three boxes full of diaries, notes, correspondence, dictionaries, surveys, bonds, certificates, horoscopes, and military orders related to a prominent pioneer of southern Utah and Nevada. The correspondence was to and from John Steele, other family members, and acquaintances. The materials document the activities of the Steele family, John’s militia and Mormon Battalion activities, his missions to England and to the Indians, his migration to Utah, and his life in Utah and Nevada. Also included is a dictionary of the Southern Paiute language created by John Steele. Materials dated 1816-1989.

John Steele was born March 21, 1821 in Hollywood, Ireland, to John and Nancy Steele. At the age of fifteen years, John began to learn the trade of boot and shoemaking, and started a business in Belfast. At age nineteen he met Catherine Campbell, and they married on January 1, 1840. Their first daughter, Mary Campbell Steele, was born on December 23, 1840.

Because of poor economic conditions in Belfast, John moved his family to Glasgow, Scotland where he found work. John investigated the Mormon faith and was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in April 1843, and about a month later he baptized his wife Catherine. Their family migrated to the United States in 1845 to join the rest of the Saints in Nauvoo, Illinois.

In 1846 John and his family left Nauvoo, and with other members of the church, headed for Council Bluffs, Iowa. There John enlisted in the Mormon Battalion, but did not make the journey to California. Instead, he and his family left Santa Fe to join the rest of the Saints journeying to Utah, and arrived in Salt Lake City on July 29, 1847.

In 1849, John was called by George A. Smith to go to Iron County, where he was to start an agricultural base for the iron works in Cedar City, and to defend the wagon train. They arrived in Iron County in 1851, where they founded the city of Parowan. That same year, John was elected marshal, where he served two years, heading several expeditions against Indians who were stealing and killing cattle.

After two terms as marshal, John was elected Mayor of Parowan in 1853. Shortly after this John was called as County Recorder, and also was asked to fill the vacant position of Judge of Iron County.

In 1855, John Steele was called to go to the Las Vegas Mission to investigate for Brigham Young the prospect of opening lead mines in the area. At Las Vegas, John set up a fort and started a garden. In 1856 he took over as Postmaster and also was asked to preside over the Las Vegas Mission. While there John and the other men did some investigating for Brigham Young into the prospect of opening lead mines in the area.

John Steele home, Toquerville, Utah, ca. 1900

In 1862 John moved his family to Toquerville, Utah. While there John was called on a Indian mission to the Moqui Nation [Hopi] in the company of Jacob Hamblin and others. He also served as a Major in the Battalion’s 10th Regiment under the command of Col. Daniel D. MacArthur of St. George. On April 15, 1868, John was commissioned as Justice of the Peace in Toquerville, and again in 1869. He was soon after elected to the office of County Surveyor for Kane County in 1873, and as County Assessor in March of 1874, and again for the year of 1875.

John and his son Mahonri Moriancummer were both called to serve missions to England in 1877. From his return in 1879 to his death on December 31, 1903, John Steele remained active in several Southern Utah civic and Church functions, acting as Bishop in Parowan and assisting with the construction of the Manti Temple.

Shipwreck accounts from Tokugawa Japan

One of the more recent additions to BYU’s Rare Japanese Collection is a manuscript which recounts the adventures of Japanese sailors shipwrecked in Vietnam in 1794. The 16-man crew of the fishing vessel Daijomaru spent a year in Vietnam before making their way to Nagasaki via Macao, Canton, and Saho. The manuscript describes the shipwreck and their observations of Vietnam’s people, flora and fauna, climate, and geography, as well as descriptions of the cities they visited on their return home. The manuscript has been cataloged under the title Annan wa 安南話 and is now available for research. It complements two other manuscript accounts of accidental visits to foreign shores by Japanese sailors in our collections: Kamoshitoka tsūshōuke zusho 加模西杜加通商請図書 and Roshiajin Nagasaki hyōraitsu kakinuki 魯西亞人長崎表来津書抜, which record the experience of two groups of sailors shipwrecked in Russia around 1793 and 1805, respectively.

    Facebook interaction

    grafikrtist Scout

      How do i interact on facebook ? I don't just want to post on other peoples pages. I am a freelance graphic designer.

        • Re: Facebook interaction
          Moderator Cath Guide

          Perhaps others will give you some great suggestions but I'll start with some basic thoughts.

          1.  Create your own page, not your personal page, but your business page.

          2.  Invite friends and potential customers to 'like' your page.

          Now that you have done that, you need to have some good content - information that will make people want to come back and see what's new on your page.

          3. Shave some of your creativity - pictures, shots of good graphic content that you would suggest using.

          4.  Have a topic of the week each week.  Begin the week with ideas surrounding the topic and accompanying pics or graphics.

          5.  Invite others to share comments, suggestions, and pictures.

          And, in my opinion, keep your page fresh with new content.  I know you will feel as if you are talking to yourself at times, but keep on creating new content.  I'll bet before long you will have your own group of followers who visit and comment regularly.  And they will tell friends and peers about your page, too.

          It might take a while to build up followers, but keep on keeping on.

          Now who else wants to add to this?

            Cath, you have written everything that I wanted to write. Good and fresh updates must be added everyday to the page. And the more likes and shares your page gets the better.

Good – See, Be, Do! #ItsTimeToChange

The other day a teacher of mine sent me this wonderful practice done by an African tribe where when a member of the tribe does something wrong, he/she is taken to the center of town and is surrounded by the entire tribe. For two days they tell the person every good thing he has ever done. Behind this practice is their belief of every person being ‘GOOD’ from the origin and committing mistakes in the pursuit of safety, love, peace, and happiness. They see these mistakes as cry for help, so they unite to cure their fellow by reconnecting him with his true self and making him remember the truth from which he’d temporarily been disconnected: “I AM GOOD”.
I was pretty amazed by this idea and wondered whether it will work in our world. Yes, I do believe that everyone is good from within, good in at least some role of their life. But accepting one’s mistake comes as a result to realizing it. When a master talks cruelly to his servant, he thinks it is the right of his position; when children talk to their parents in slang, they justify it by labeling themselves ‘new generation’; when a student argues with a teacher for trivial things, he says he’s fighting for his rights. Thus, we get to see a lot of people continuing their wrongdoings due to lack of realization.
Moreover, majority of us have turned into selfish beings thinking for ourselves and not concerned for what happens in others’ lives. We would very rarely spare time for the good of others. Spending two days insulting a person looks easy to us but telling him good things he did for two big days would be hard for us. But only when we ponder over the idea of “what goes around, comes around”, we will be more considerate towards others. The aforementioned practice could be an ideal one for us wherein not only the person committing mistake is taken out of the sin harmlessly, but others also get to participate in an act to retain humanity within them.

Nice to be back

20090713 Grierson

A bit hacked off this morning when we landed, and there was rain lashing against the aircraft windows … this wasn’t in the plan at all.  All has fortunately cheered up though;  as you can see from the above … taken from my sun-lounger in Alix & Cherry’s garden … ahhhhh!

Nice to be back in Grierson Road.  If slightly odd (we used to live two doors down).  A&C’s is a little haven.  And after two weeks of protein shakes and no booze (10lbs lost so far though:  way-hay!), I was lured immediately off the straight and narrow by a bacon buttie, and a promise of real fish & chips tonight.  Oink.

If you Google my name, you’ll find there’s an Eliza Kern listed on a bunch of social networks. There’s an Eliza Kern on Google+ (s goog), Facebook (s fb), LinkedIn (s lnkd), Twitter, Pinterest, Foursquare, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, along with a whole host of others I can’t even remember. For most of them, it’s pretty clear that those Eliza Kerns are actually me — they either have my photo attached, or somehow indicate the person who controls that account.

But what if I wanted to go online and post some thoughts or ideas that wouldn’t be associated with my identity? What if I was secretly a cat person (the horror) and wanted to talk about my love of cats, or had a really embarrassing disease I wanted to talk about with other people? These might not be things I’d tweet about. But maybe I’d head to the new anonymous social network called Social Number

266 La Trigale

Alderney, Channel Islands

We were commissioned to carry out an indepth feasibility study into a housing development on the island of Alderney.

A concept of re-configurable modules allowed for multiple permutations of 2 and 3 bed houses, each with gardens and vehicle access. The density of housing met the planning policy requirements at the time, and the clients brief. During the feasibility we researched many environmental strategies to allow the development to have a low carbon footprint, but also buildable on this remote island.

Bass fishing over spring tides – Can 10 cm of depth really make a difference!?

Fishing Spring Tides – Can 10 cm of depth really make a difference?

Dedication’s what you need…

I’ve talked a lot about taking notes following every single session. Whether you catch a Bass, Wrasse, Pollack, Mackerel or nothing at all, it all adds a tiny piece into the fishing jigsaw puzzle.

Some anglers have a lot of time to dedicate to the sport, where as some (most of us I imagine) only have short periods between work or family commitments. It is difficult enough for the population of anglers who can pick and choose exactly when they venture out to pick the right mark taking into account the weather, sea conditions,tides and their own ‘ideal conditions’.

Therefore, for those of us who have to ‘make do’ with the time available, it becomes even more paramount to try to pick the mark that you feel offers the greatest chance of catching a Bass. Notwithstanding the anglers who are just happy to be wetting a line, enjoying the scenery or simply relaxing but if you’re massively into your Bass fishing you want to be successful.

Here in can sometimes lie the problem….

  • What if your ‘prefered’ venue can’t be fished?
  • What if you have to compromise with safety in mind?
  • What if you’re limited to time and can’t travel (drive + walk) to a particular venue and have to look slightly closer to home?

Can it, or will it make a difference to your chances of success?

Ideal conditions – Or is it?

The preparation for a session….

I’m there constantly like many others – watching 5 weather forecasts a day, scrolling through the surfing websites for the wave height, analysing the tide tables, pouring over my notes and maps again and again just for my own sessions. Now that I am a guide, the most important aspects (in addition to learning) are to place my clients onto venues that are safe, and where they have an increased chance of connecting with a Bass.

I start considering where I might take a client 7 days before the event based on the initial weather forecast – I then review this every day, up to and including the day of the session itself. Very closely associated to this, I contemplate the venue selection, tide tables and also the time of day likely to be fished.

The weather:

  • Are any huge atlantic storms forecast to roll in?
  • Is high pressure (settled weather generally) likely to be dominant?
  • Will the winds be onshore, offshore, calm or a  crosswind?
  • Clear skies or cloudy?
  • Forecast wave height?

The venue:

  • The client’s experience, fitness and specific requirements?
  • In conjunction with the weather forecast  – Is the venue likely to be safe?
  • Does the venue (s) require a long walk across/over difficult terrain?

The tides:

  • Time of Low water?
  • Time of High water?
  • The tide heights (for example Low water 0.6m/High water 5.5m etc..)

Time of day:

  • Will the session encompass fishing at dawn?
  • Will the session extend into darkness (dusk)?
  • Will the session be conducted solely in daylight?

David hard at it with the ‘modern lure fishing set up’

Did the 10 cm really make a difference?

Prior to a recent guided session, I had earmarked a suitable stretch of coastline based on all of the above information. However, in the 24 – 36 hours leading up to the session, the weather forecast started to mention ‘ Southerly Gales’ – not ideal…

Many authors have written about Bass fishing ‘conditions’ being ‘critical’ to success. On top of this is the fact that many marks will definitely have a ‘limit’ to how much wind/wave action they can take before becoming ‘blow out’ or unfishable.  This will be down to either the amount of silt/weed in the water, or the size of the waves making it too dangerous to fish.

With a back up plan hatched the night before, on the morning of the session and following a detour to confirm the conditions my suspicions were confirmed – it was too dangerous to fish this particular area. Based on the ‘southerly’ aspect to the wind, I knew large expanses of coastline would have also been too dangerous. Everything else looked right – the water clarity was (surprisingly) good, the weather conditions (overcast) and the wind, (now very light)….. A real shame I thought.

The only thing to do was to drive around the coast to a mark that offered more protection, was a little deeper so wouldn’t ‘silt/weed up’ as much and importantly – would be safe to fish. The high tide height was 4.9m. Now I have caught dozens of Bass, many over 5lb on the next mark however, from my notes, I had identified that most of the Bass had been caught on high tides of 5.0m and above… So would the 0.1m/10 cm really make a difference? In a word, yes it did….

To summarise

Despite what I would percieve as near perfect wind, wave and weather conditions, no amount of casting into different areas or lure changes induced a take from a Bass – a 3lb Wrasse yes, but no Bass.

My client on this day had previously caught many Bass on bait from a boat, but he wanted to learn how to catch a Bass on a lure from the shore. With this in mind, he was very eager to learn many of the methods associated to this. By the end of the session, he knew how to:

  • Lure fish with surface lures (small subtle sliders and large poppers).
  • Fish shallow and deeper diving minnows.
  • Fish/bounce paddletails around (he had the Wrasse in this way).
  • Identify likely fish holding areas over deeper water (watercraft).
  • How to successfully fish with, enjoy and get the most out of a modern lure rod/reel combination – he had started the session using his own 11ft Pike rod and 10000 size reel but continued with the modern set up after an hour’s fishing all the way through to the end!

Very importantly, I had also learnt something… Maybe there just wasn’t any Bass inshore on this day/tide? Or in hindsight, even though we were fishing into 8 – 12 ft of water, maybe the mark in question required just that extra bit of depth over it?.. The extra 10cm?

Very much ‘food for thought’ in regards to my future guiding sessions and for those of you choosing a mark for your own Bass fishing.

Just before he caught the Wrasse – he and I were gutted it wasn’t a Bass!

Thanks for reading.

  1. Many times you think all the planets have aligned but bass will let you know when you’ve missed something. You are so right about keeping a diary to record every detail – but do I do this? Nope

Deforestation In Africa Forests, the only thing Africa has.

By 2030 more than 30% of the world's trees will be gone.

Imagine Africa being a large dessert with no wildlife and vegetation. It may sound impossible, but it will certainly happen if the current pace of deforestation is not stopped. The African life depends on sustainability of forests which are essential for shelter and economy. In addition, deforestation has a tremendous effect on animal habitat, weather patterns and climate. Without increased awareness and immediate action, it will be soon too late to reverse the damage and Africa will become uninhabitable. We can also help this cause by organizing fundraisers, increase awareness through out your community by discussions and presentations, and considering volunteering your time to help organizations who are trying to protect the African forests.

Deforestation is a problem in the whole world, but in Africa the rate of tree cutting is higher the global annual average of 0.8% of existing forests. Comparing to other continents where deforestation is mainly caused by logging and farming, in Africa wood is used for energy and accounts for half of all energy used. Increased demand for timber around the world, especially in China, will accelerate legal and illegal logging in Africa. The Congo Basin that contains 20 percent of the world's rain forests is being harvested at very high rates and leads to transformation of forests into savanna grasslands. Using alternative energy and more efficient wood burning methods may help decrease the rate wood being used to make energy. We could fund-raise and donate stoves that can reach 88% wood burning stoves.

Similar to other parts of the world Africans use wood for construction, furniture, and energy. Unfortunately, most of the wood is used for burning and if an alternative source of energy is found, Africa could gain more money from selling timber and preserve the forests. We can volunteer for an organization that installs solar panels as an alternative source of energy instead of wood.

Forests in Africa are home to many unique plants and species of animals such as the gorillas, elephants, okapi, and monkeys. Many of these animals habitats are being destroyed by deforestation and forest fragmentation from roadside farming and logging. Computer simulations showed that most forests in Africa will be significantly disturbed in the next 5 decades and up to a third of the trees will be lost by 2030. We can donate money to organizations that fight deforestation and protect wild life in Africa.

70% of Africa's species live in Forests.

Deforestation is one of the large factors in global climate change because of the resulting increase in the carbon dioxide levels and subsequent greenhouse effect. Trees can store 40 times the amount of annual greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. A tree that is cut not only will stop removing carbon dioxide, but will also release a large amount of carbon dioxide as it dies. Deforestation not only affects the global climate but also the local weather patterns. A study showed that transforming forests into farmland reduces rainfall over the nearby trees by 50% due to changes in the surface temperature which affects the formation of rain clouds. The African rain forest, which already has the lowest rainfall of any rain forest in the world, are vulnerable to any more weather changes. By educating farmers in Africa how to increase crop yield by using fertilizers and pest resistant plants, we can prevent further deforestation by using current farmlands more efficiently.

Deforestation in Africa is a problem that not only affects people in Africa, but people all over the world, including us. As forests get destroyed there is increased pressure on the remaining forests from logging and weather changes and this will lead to an unstoppable cycle. Using alternative energy and more efficient wood burning methods will certainly help the cause. Educating people who live in the affected areas will help the locals take matters in their own hands and get more involved in protecting their resources. Finally, African countries need strong, fair governments to enforce the law and protect the forests from illegal logging. Although this happens thousands of miles away, it affects all of us and we need to contribute in any way to this cause.

Moses Staff By Isaiah scott

Have you ever wanted to make a beautiful staff to hike with or have for decoration, well, make a Moses staff. I chose to make a Moses staff because he used the power of God to preform wonderful miracles and events with it. All you need is wood, carving tools, and your imagination.

So how do we know that Moses Staff exists, and what kind of miracles did Moses do with it? Well, the Bible tells us. The most Famous miracle that Moses preformed with his staff is that it turned into a snake. In Exodus 4:3, it said, " and he said, throw it on the ground. So Moses threw it in the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses ran from it." Another trait of the staff is that it separated the Red Sea. In Exodus 14:21, it said," Then Moses stretched out his staff over the sea, and the lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided."

Now we can use the quotes from the Bible to make a staff. Think of what kind of wood Moses could have used to make his staff. Make any designs or carvings that relate to the miracles that he did. You can can even carve a snake at the end of the staff. Just be creative and use your imagination to make a Moses Staff.

Making a Moses Staff is really worth it. It can be used to do a lot of things. You can hike with it, display it, and even use it for a Halloween costume. So get creative and make yourself a Moses Staff.

Store Survey By: Kelly Tracey

Research topic

My research is about what stores students at Monroe Jr High school shop at. I chose this topic because I was wondering what stores teens shop at to get a good idea of it.

The purpose

The purpose of my research is to find out the most popular stores teens shop at, so my question for my research is, "What stores do Teens at Monroe Jr High school shop at?"

Sample group info

My sample group was made up of nine people. My teacher picked the group by a random generator. The group was made up of both boys and girls along with seventh and eighth graders.

Some of my expectations was to get nine responses. The answer of what grade you are in I knew I was only going to get 7-8.

What grade are you in?

Surprising results

Some of the surprising findings I found was that not many people shop at thrift stores.

Thrift stores

What I found out

I found out that Monroe Jr High students like the same stores as each other. This is the table I came up with then the survey.

What I would change

What I would add or change in my survey is I would open up the survey to more teens than just the Monroe Jr High along with many more schools. I would also allow more advice into the survey.

In conclusion I found out the total opposite of what I thought. I found out that teens like to shop at Victoria Secret, Which was no shocker.

Any Questions?

WIAW: A Grown Up Kids Meal

Hooray for another WIAW post! I’m just thankful that I remember to take pictures of all of my meals once a week. That is a miracle, my friends.

I decided to spice things up about on the breakfast routine. Usually I enjoy my own version of the McMuffin, but lately I’ve been craving sweet potatoes, so I concocted my own sweet potato hash to accompany my eggs in the morning (recipe coming soon!). It…was…awesome.

I mixed up the hash with one egg and 1/2 cup of egg whites and a touch of cheddar cheese. Yum. Then, it was off to work where I got hungry at the usual 9:45. I snacked on a ThinkThin bar, which is full of protein and tastes delicious. I needed the extra protein to prep for my heavy leg workout that evening. ThinkThin bars are fairly yummy, especially the Creamy Peanut Butter flavor. They contain sugar alcohols, which can upset some stomachs, but for a quick snack they’re perfect.Lunchtime rolled around, and I found myself staring at a protein-less fridge when I came home. Luckily, I had tons of veggies from my Sunday Night Prep, so I mixed those up with a small breakfast sausage (that was supposed to be for my husband…oops…what’s mine is yours, right?), some avocado, and half of a whole-grain English muffin. This turned out to be one of my favorite lunches. The avocado made everything so creamy, and the veggies were super tasty.

My afternoon snack was a fairly big one for me. I knew that I needed to seriously fuel up for my workout, so I went down to the kitchen at work and toasted up the other half of the whole-grain English muffin from lunch, topped it with 1 TBS of Peanut Butter, a banana, and cinnamon. It was delicious, and really helped me get over my afternoon slump.

After my heavy leg workout, I came home and was REALLY in a nostalgic mood. I just had to have chicken fingers and mac’n’cheese. HAD TO. So, I whipped up my own healthy version of chicken fingers, paired it with some Annie’s and green beans and called it a day.

This was definitely a “grown up kids meal” and I loved it. Sometimes you just need a little comfort food 🙂

What did YOU eat today? Anything that brought back some memories?

Talk to you soon!

STARC Project Showcase – CMMC

Comments Off on STARC Project Showcase – CMMC Healthcare, Infection Control

The STARC System – Perfect for Infection Control in Hospitals

Central Maine Medical Center (CMMC) of Lewiston, Maine is a member of the Central Maine Healthcare Group which is the largest Healthcare employer in Central Maine. CMMC is a Regional Resource Hospital serving over 400,000 people in Central and Mid Coast Maine and providing Primary, Emergency and Specialty Care throughout the Region.

CMMC’s Quality Vision includes “Delivering high-quality healthcare services is fundamental to everything we do at Central Maine Medical Center”. That Vision is also embraced by the Regional Director of Engineering, Dan Bickford, CHFM, CHC and the Regional Manager of Maintenance and Construction, Brian Campbell, CHFM, CHC. Recently, Dan and Brian were faced with a major renovation project in, and around the CMMC Emergency Department. They were challenged to perform this feat without any interruption in Emergency Services.  The first priority was to protect employees and patients from debris, noise and unsightly optics resulting from the renovation while maintaining uninterrupted service 24/7.

CMMC Hospital temporary construction project focus-13

Dan and Brian had been introduced to STARC Systems Innovative Temporary Portable Containment by Hebert Construction of Lewiston Maine months before. In fact, CMMC was the first hospital in the United States to experience the benefits of STARC Systems on smaller projects. Once again, Hebert selected STARC Systems for the 100’ of Temporary Containment in and around the ED Lobby.

Once the process began, “The whole wall was erected in less than an hour.” according to Campbell. “There was no dust, debris nor interruption during the set-up. There was little interference with staff or patients.” Brian also noted, “Our traditional method of deploying this containment would have taken 2 to 2 ½ days. We would have installed poly sheets to protect the environment from the debris generated just to build the temp walls. That method would have been extremely disruptive and messy in the ED lobby.” Brian was also impressed with the noise suppression once the work behind the containment walls began, “The lack of noise spilling out to the lobby was very impressive and it looked like a finished wall, during the renovation project.”

As a Healthcare and Infection Control professional for over 20 years at CMMC, Daniela Skalina noted that infection control in hospitals is very hospital, especially during renovation projects. She shared her thoughts in the STARC System, “Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, it minimizes risk to patients because it is so easy to set up correctly, and minimizes the opportunity for error.” She also observed, “I can remember so many projects in the past where the appearance looked like a renovation project, and you can tell that the containment was not as effective as it is with STARC Systems.” Daniela’s summary? “This is the best solution I have seen for keeping the patient population protected from noise, dust, and  any other potentially hazardous materials during renovations or construction in the hospital environment.”

CMMC Hospital temporary construction project focus-39

CMMC’s Emergency Department Manager, Darlene St Hillaire commented, “I loved it! I was amazed at how little noise there was.”

A few more observations from Dan, “Other features such as the ability to key the doors with the Hospital Key System and the negative air panels were great additions. The airtight seal between the panels was impressive.” As a final touch of professionalism, Hebert added a graphic diagram of the proposed finished project on the front of the panels for all to see. “That was a nice touch”, noted Campbell.

And equally as important, the project was on time and under budget.

Problems Of Unrestrained Pleasure-Seeking

Watch the TV news and observe a fact: Without self-restraint human nature produces all sorts of evil: meanness, disrespect, bullying, abuse, violence, rage, arrogance, injustice, deceit, self-destruction, vulgarity, hatred, cruelty, fraud. Unrestrained human nature destabilizes society and eventually leads to despair, oppression, war, and/or totalitarianism. Western society desperately needs godly self-restraint!

If a person does whatever she/he wants to do and/or feels like doing, without moral restraint, she/he will make a mighty mess of her/his life.  So how do you get moral restraint?  So much in our society wants to grab our attention and focus us on unrestrained pleasure-seeking, when we desperately need a focus on godly self-restraint.

Movies and TV shows grab and hold Americans’ attention . . .
Church does not.
Sports captures the passion and enthusiasm of Americans . . .
Church does not.
Music takes hold of Americans’ hearts and won’t let go . . .
Church does not.
It’s time for the American church to break out of cultural irrelevance
And to bring the thrilling presence, power, and love
Of the living God to the hearts and minds of Americans!
There is a new attention grabbing form of church
In Nashville (the city, not the TV show) at:
225 Berry St., 37207 on Sunday mornings at 10:45.
Let God grab you . . .
Come visit The Salvation Army Berry Street.

Storytime Theme: Giraffes!

We had A LOT of fun learning and reading about giraffes during my Head Start visits last week!

I like to include an engaging non-fiction book in my storytimes whenever they fit well, so we read Giraffes by Amelie von Zumbusch and we learned some fun facts about giraffes before reading our fiction books. Did you know that a giraffe calf is already 6 feet tall when it is born?!

The next two books that we read were Giraffes Ruin Everything by Heidi Schulz and The Short Giraffe by Neil Flory. The first of the two follows a young boy who has trouble with a giraffe getting in the way of his fun.. but *spoiler alert* the story has a happy ending because giraffe ends up saving the day! The second book was very silly and got a lot of laughs from the kids and their teachers. Geri is the shortest giraffe who ever lived, and the giraffes try rigging up all kinds of contraptions to make him fit into a photo with the average-height giraffes. This story *spoiler alert* also has a happy ending… but I won’t say how they solved their dilemma. You’ll have to read it yourself!

Broad Street 2011 Results

My running feet.I apologize to my friends on Facebook who’ve read this. I finished the Broad Street Run in two hours, seven minutes. It was a beautiful day, perfect for running. My legs have only now stopped protesting so it’s back to the pavement tomorrow morning.

I feel like, right about the time I became able to run five miles was when I transcended from active and fit to slightly insane. I think it happened one morning while I was out and about, running in the dark, during a snowstorm. Ten miles is really serious but I did walk about a mile and a half so there might be hope for me afterall.

I have to admit, I hit my wall at two miles. When I saw City Hall in the hazy distance, I thought I wasn’t going to make it. I couldn’t figure out why I had no problem running across town but was really dragging my feet right at the beginning of this supposedly easy route. Then I noticed that there are some rolling hills on Broad Street and when you run with 1,000s of other people, it’s hard to find your pace because of the distraction.

I started to look at the architecture which helped and by the third mile things were going well. And then I had to pee. The port-a-potty situation was, well, shitty. And I lost five minutes waiting in line. And Otto decided not to work so I couldn’t take any more photos or make any more en-route phone calls.

By the time I got to City Hall and the half way point, I was feeling like using one of the SEPTA tokens in my pouch but there was my Mom and Dad and the Pumpkin, who also ran earlier. Yay!! There is nothing better than having your family and friends cheer you on. Absolutely awesome!

Once I got to seven miles I walked. I’ve never run that far before. But then everyone was passing me so I felt bad and started to run again. After a little more walking and running I finally finished. Yay! I got a lovely medal but was very excited about the donuts I thought would be waiting because Dunkin Donuts was a sponsor. No donuts! Booo!

Still, it was a lovely run. Now it’s time to plan for the half marathon in November. I missed the early registration so I have to pay $100 so that I can subject myself to four hours of torture, I mean running.

An Army of Little Houses

Or at least the people who love them.

I’m always happy to see a small home featured on a website. Apartment Therapy must know this because they popped a really cute cottage house tour into my Facebook today. I love the clean lines and consistant use of dark wood, white floors and all the little bits of creative art here and there. It’s all so amazingly tidy and organized. Obviously she doesn’t have kids. One can just tell. And for one person, it isn’t that small. Still, it’s a great little house.

I’m still sulking about not being included in the Small Cool contest but I can’t stay mad for long when they feature a house with a bathtub that I could fit up my stairs.

Morning Surprise – One Lovely Blog Award!

onelovelyblogGlad for this streak of good luck. So many good things flowing in one after the other and I am not able to contain myself.

Thank you VikToryArch- for making me glad with one more award. I am gratified. You have always been very kind and encouraging. I cannot repay your generousness but can broaden its wings by taking other amazing bloggers in to.

Here goes the rules:

  • You must thank the person who nominated you and include a link to their blog. You must list the rules and display the award.
  • You must add 7 facts about yourself.
  • You must nominate 15 (or more) other bloggers and comment on one of their posts to let them know they have been nominated.

Seven facts about me:

I am a chatter box; a jack of all trades, master of none; strongly believe in Random Act of Kindness; cry more in others’ pain than mine; laughing hysterically is my daily ritual; feel happy seeing a smiling face; express gratitude always.

My nominees:

Thank you and loads of best wishes. Stay happy and motivated! J

      Dear Melanie, thank you so much for your precious time and kindness reading me. Coming to whether I am VERY interesting or LESS interesting is an individual perception. 🙂 But to me, I am DAMN interesting. :). Yesterday, I was going through your blog and found it to be amazingly inspiring. I even liked the colorful background. I would definitely love to read your older posts to know you even better. Find my presence on your your blog very soon. Cheers to you too until then. 🙂
