I'm using local, organic flour in all of the bread. It's grown and milled by Bob Balfour at R&J Milling in Riceton. Bob and I have been working together for over 10 years now; he's the first supplier I ever had and we are all lucky to have him so close.
All the bread is mixed by hand, shaped by hand and baked in a wood fired brick oven that I built myself. So it's serious old school bread here!
Most loaves are in the 800g – 900g weight range, which is about 25% bigger than at Orange Boot Bakery. The larger loaves work better in the brick oven and they look really nice.
Speaking of the oven, it's a variable device, to say the least. After a big fire the night before baking, the oven slowly cools over the next 12-24 hours and there's a 4 hour window when it's absolutely perfect for bread baking. My task is to have the bread ready to bake in that window!
If I'm off a little, the bread may be slightly darker or lighter than normal. Darker is better; a dark bake provides a much more complex and tasty crust. Bottom line: expect some variation from week to week. That's part of the fun of old school bread.
My general mood these days is to incorporate more whole grain in my bread. It's healthier and can be more flavourful too. So other than my baguettes and Crusty White loaf, everything has some whole grain flour in it. I'm happy to going deeper with any flour geeks in the crowd (I'm a proud geek myself) so ask away.
Disclaimer: ABOUT MY KITCHEN
I mix your dough in food safe plastic tubs in my basement.
I shape the dough on a bench in my garage and proof it on a rack in my garage.
I bake your bread in a brick oven I built myself.
So in case there's any doubt, your bread is made in a kitchen which is not inspected by Regina Qu'appelle Health Region.
(This is all perfectly legal so long as you know and accept the part about the non-inspected kitchen.)

John was the first. One misstep and the grey cloud enveloped him. He screamed and thrashed but there was nothing we could do. He lay dead on the jungle floor, covered in thousands of tiny welts.
Killer bees, just one more thing to watch out for on this island.
After he died we started hearing the strange sounds coming from the jungle at night.
The next day a machete came flying out of the trees into Jenn's forehead. Our collective horror only grew when we found the tripwire she'd sprung, lying limply across the path.
There was something else out there besides us. Other intelligent life. And it wanted us dead.
Armand fell through a pile of palm leaves into a pit of sharpened bamboo. Alastair stepped into a snare and flew into coils of barbed wire hidden in the underbrush.
Now there's only us three left, and as we sit around the fire I hear the sorrowful inhuman cries coming from all around.
They're coming now - John's face is a porous wasp's nest, thousands of them crawling on him and buzzing all around. The machete juts from Jenn's face as she lumbers toward us.
Armand is already rotting away, bamboo stakes still protruding from his torso and pierced eye. Alistair's bloody entrails are spilling out.
There are others too, I don't recognize: a man with a caved-in head, a woman with a giant jagged slice down her body, children missing their arms.
I knew there was something else out there. I don't know what kind of island this is we've been marooned on. But I know now even the dead get lonely.

Neurosteroid Odd Reactions
A few considerations when people have 'odd' reactions to neurosteroids: One mentioned above is that
they need to miss first-pass so they need to be micronized in oil (or micronized and taken with oil), SL
drops or a troche. When people get peripheral effects (such as menstrual etc.) Another is to consider
the MOA which in addition to repair of CNS is also as a GABA agonist (if pregnenolone/progesterone) so
normally they have a calming effect.
If they get depressed then they can have an imbalance in metabolism with estrogen/progesterone (and
maybe testosterone). That (if they get depression with progesterone/pregnenolone) can be either low
or poor estrogen metabolism – OR – xenoestrogen binding (which can be chemical or metal toxicity. Also
it can be totally non- E/P issues and due to histamine metabolism in the CNS (which high can cause
agitation/anxiety and low can cause depression etc.) and as mentioned above the methyl donor
sensitivity usually causing serotonin and catecholamine surges / imbalance.
So considerations include dose and form of NS; Histamine issues (central and peripheral), and when
supporting the pathways and things like NS etc. cause odd reactions then the places to look include the
"other" neural systems like histamine and the effects of toxicity as both xenohormone effectors but also
as epigenetic triggers of SNPs and liver detox.. If that is all a bust (and it's normally a part at least) then I
have also seen chronic infections be similar triggers.

Spring Break and iPads
The tech team at the school has requested that all student devices remain at school over the break. They will be doing some work on them. Therefore, no iPads will be going home for spring break.
This week we wrapped up our, "City of Ember," novel study. Most students completed their booksnaps and vocabulary activities. A few may still be working on this next week and are encouraged to work at home if they are feeling behind. We watched the movie and compared the two forms as part of our wrap up. Most students agreed that the book was way better! Next week we will be beginning our look at the stories of Canada's First Nations groups and starting some writing projects.
This week students designed tessellations with translations and reflections. Next week students will be continuing to work on their oil pastels and watercolor reflection tessellations.
This week students worked hard to complete their Ember inventions. They created a google slides reflection about their building process and received peer feedback to improve their work. Next week students will be conducting a home study about reading a household electrical meter and efficiency labels on electrical appliances. They will also participate in an electromagnet lab.
March 5-9
Reminders: *Please send back the research consent form sent home last week regarding a study we are participating in around media and food choices. We will start the lessons this week. If your child does not bring the form back, they will not be part of the pre and post lesson surveys but will still take part in the healthy eating lessons.
*Watch for an email from the office on Monday regarding sign-up for student-led conferences this week.

Math:This week, students completed their quadrilateral analysis including peer feedback loop. They began to look at transformations of shapes using pattern blocks. They will continue to explore tessellations over the coming week and move into 3D objects before the break.
Science: This week students worked very hard on their Ember Inventions. They are really starting to take shape and students are being very thoughtful and deliberate with their design and circuit choices. This coming week they will co-create an assessment criteria and begin to work on a google slide show of their building progress which they will be excited to share with you at student-led conferences on Thursday or Friday. They also participated in an exciting lab where they tested a variety of materials to determine if they were conductors or insulators.
Humanities: We finished with the Metis Road Case this week. Students learned about the Red River Jig, body percussion and found instruments. Next week we will begin our inquiry into the stories of the First Nations. We also made a lot of progress with, "The City of Ember." Several students are finished the book, and all students will be finishing up on Monday. We will complete some wrap up activities, finish work on vocabulary & booksnaps and compare the book and the movie in the upcoming week.
Feb.27- Mar.1
Here is a look at what we were busy working on this week! Thanks to those of you who were able to join us on Tuesday for our EXPO day! Our next EXPO trips are April 10th, April 18th and April 25th. If you are able to join us as a volunteer please let us know.
Looking Ahead:
March 5-9: City of Ember Invention Build Week - students must bring their materials on Monday to begin this project. We will provide the materials they need for their circuits (wires, batteries, motors/lightbulbs).
March 12- Report Cards go home
March 15&16 Student Led Conferences (Thurs. 4pm-8pm, Fri. 8am-1pm)
March 23- April 8- Spring Break
Humanities: This week we continued our exploration of Metis culture and music. We went to the Military Museum and participated in a program that examined the contributions the indigenous community has made to the Canadian military. We are approaching the halfway point of, "The City of Ember." Our goal is to wrap up all novel study activities before spring break. Students have been instructed to read to the end of chapter 1 this weekend and may do so by listening to the audio book, as the books weren't sent home. The audiobook links are on freshgrade. Students have been working on vocabulary activities and were introduced to booksnaps. Booksnaps use technology to help students make connections with the book and show their understanding of what they are reading. Your child may ask you for permission to install an app called, "Bitmoji." This is an app that allows them to create a cartoon avatar of themselves, which they can use with google slides in their booksnaps. It is commonly used by those with snapchat, but we aren't using the snapchat app. Bitmoji has no messaging or chat capabilities on its own. This app has a 12+ rating and is an app that requires a parent conversation and permission. Please refer to the link to help with your decision. It is not a requirement, as we have a lot of other emoji options to help us express ourselves.
Math: This week students completed their Olympic graphing and began a graphing analysis exercise making inferences and predictions about the information presented in the graphs. Students also worked on analyzing their quadrilateral art for a number of different geometrical criteria this week and posted it to Freshgrade if they were complete.
Science: This week students toured the new MRU Library and Maker Space. They also had the opportunity to work with electrical circuitry kits to expand upon their knowledge of circuits and experiment with some different materials. Students completed their circuitry video check-in by utilizing feedback from Ms. Kwong and peers and resubmitting a secondary video with any information they may have left out or not expanded upon the first time. These should all be uploaded onto Freshgrade. Check with your child as some of them decided to take their iPads home to work on the voice recording at home today (or over the weekend as time permits).
Feb. 20- Feb. 23
Looking Ahead
Tuesday, Feb 27: EXPO Military Museum and MRU MakerSpace
Friday, March 2: No School
We wrapped up our learning with the Olympics this week. Students read or listened to, "The City of Ember" and completed some vocabulary exercises. We also had a look at the contents of the,"Metis Roadcase," that is on loan from the National Music Center. Next week we will spend a great deal of time learning about the Metis and will continue with our novel study.
Math: Last week students continued to work on their double bar graphs using Olympic data. They will wrap those up this coming week. Students also began a quadrilateral shape art representation which they will analyze for a number of different geometrical criteria this week.
Science: This week students worked with their "City of Ember" job group and began preliminary plans for the devices they will build in the coming weeks. They have started a materials list which should include things readily available in the recycling bin at home or at school. We will provide the items necessary for the circuits. This coming week they will do some self evaluation work of their circuit check-in after carefully reading and taking into consideration the first round of teacher feedback.

Skin & Bones
It's been a while since I played through the truly enjoyable and immensely colourful demo of the newly released Skin & Bones offering, and, well, I thought I'd let you know. It is, after all and as far as I can judge, a lovely platform/puzzle game with a distinct retro 16-bit feel to it and two playable characters. Definitely one to bring back those memories from the Amiga era, then, though should you try it, you'll probably notice the obvious Head over Heels influences too. Worth a try.

In this post I want to share my 3 main meatball recipes. One beef, one lamb and one turkey recipe to keep it varied and yummy for the kids. All delicious and easy to make in advance.
I've mentioned before my love for bulk cooking and my fantasy about an upright freezer, but lately my fantasy is even bigger: I want a walk in freezer.
I want to share with you 3 simple meatball recipes I usually cook in bulk to freeze and save me a lot of trouble when preparing the lunchboxes.
Simple meatballs
Whenever I prepare meatballs for the kids lunchbox I cook them in the oven and with no sauce. That way, I can freeze them already baked and when thawing them, they'll be ready to eat.
I usually send the meatballs on their own, with no sauce or gravy. Easy and clean to eat, still super yummy. They are a success! I might send some lemon or lime slices depending on the type.
Beef and zucchini meatballs.
These meatballs are super easy and the added value is that they contain a nice amount of veggies as well, perfect for picky eaters!
What you'll need:
- 500g lean mince beef.
- 1 medium sized zucchini (courgette).
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup of grated grana padano (or any other hard cheese)
- 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
- salt and black pepper to taste
First grate the zucchini and use a clean tea towel to squeeze it and remove excess of liquid.
mix all ingredients in a bowl
Shape up the balls in the desired size. (I like to make them small)
bring them to the oven for about 20 min in 200C.
Remember to let them cool completely before freezing them.
Moroccan meatballs.
These lamb meatballs are full of flavour yet not spicy. My kids favourite (and mine!).
- 500g of lamb mince
- 1 super finely chopped onion
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 garlic clove chopped.
- fresh parsley
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper.
- salt and black pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and shape into meatballs. always try to pack them as much as possible so they don't loose shape while cooking.
Bring them to the oven for about 20 min in 200C.
Turkey meatballs
I don't make this very often but I should. The girls love them and its a leaner alternative to the beef and lamb meatballs.
- 500g of turkey mince
- 1 super finely chopped carrot
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (grana padano is my favourite choice)
- salt and black pepper to taste.
As with the other meatballs: mix all ingredients in a bowl and shape into meatballs. always try to pack them as much as possible so they don't loose shape while cooking.
Bring them to the oven for about 20 min in 200C.
Cook ahead, you'll thank yourself later
Whenever a prepare meatballs I make twice as much as I need. that way I always store some ready to go in the freezer.
I have lately discovered the Wonderfull world of vacuum storing food, and I just store the meatballs in two portion packs and label them appropriately.
Vacuum storage is not only great because it preserves food better and longer but it also reduces a lot of space in the freezer. I REALY REALLY recommend it.

Relax: it is essential!
12 most popular Aromatherapy oils and their uses
Written by
Sophie Kalinauckas , Health & Beauty writer
Aromatherapy is used for a variety of reasons: relaxation, sleep aid, rehabilitation and spiritual therapy. Whatever, the weather the plant kingdom can support your tranquil needs. Aromatherapy is an alternative to other forms of medicines. It uses essential oils and aromatic plant compounds which work towards enhancing your health and mood. It differs from herbal healing because the oils are distilled differently. Scientific studies acknowledge the effectiveness of aromatherapy; studies have proven that it makes you feel good and offers a variety of forms of relief. This kind of therapy is traditionally therapeutic, made from tiny aromatic molecules oils which are readily absorbed through the skin or inhaled.
Smell an idea?
Aromatherapy is based on the idea that the inhalation or absorption of essential oils stimulates the part of our brains which is linked to smell, this is known as the olfactory system. Inhalation or absorption sends a signal to the limbic system which manages our moods and emotions. This, in turn, means chemicals are released which boost feelings of calm. Oils are often used in massage and this further works to enhance relaxation. Aromatherapy is used for a long list of reasons but to name a few it helps with: anxiety, insomnia, headaches, stress, digestive problems, menstrual problems, depression, muscular aches and many more.
Have a roam around for the best aromatherapy with Fushi's favourites:
Basil essential oil:
basil doesn't just flavour your food the oil sharpens your concentration and lightens your mood. It can particularly alleviate symptoms of depression and it can also give you some relief from headaches.
Black pepper essential oil:
Black pepper famously helps if you've got a sneeze stuck! But more importantly the oil stimulates circulation and eases muscular aches, pains and bruises.
Lavender essential oil:
Lovely lavender helps you to sleep, particularly if you suffer from insomnia. It is also an antiseptic so it can help heal wounds, insect bites, cuts and burns. Lavender you may also recognise as the scent which is used for savasana during yoga to help inspire a relaxed mind.
Tea tree essential oil:
It has antimicrobial and antiseptic properties and this makes it the perfect mouth washer as it works as a disinfectant. It can also be used on cuts and wounds, as well as alleviating oil skin and scalps with its astringent properties.
Rose essential oil:
The romantic fragrance of rose has longed been used in history. The oil is distilled from blossoms and it helps you to blossom as it is an antidepressant, antiseptic, antibacterial and it also increases menstruation.
Carrot seed essential oil:
See the difference with carrot seed oil with its multi-purpose healing properties: detoxifier, stimulant, antiseptic and antioxidant. These all help with maintaining youthful skin, stress relief, removing toxins and releasing gas!
Cedarwood essential oil:
This is a tonic, antiseptic, antispasmodic and sedative substance. It can be used to cure toothache and strengthens gums. It also stimulates menstruation and helps to clear up acne. Its antispasmodic quality makes it the perfect remedy to relieve spasms.
Ginger essential oil:
Not the hair colour but ginger stimulates circulation, increases perspiration and alleviates gas pain. It eases cramped muscles as it decreases substances in the body which cause muscle cramp. It also aids digestion which means it can really help with nausea and travel sickness!
Grapefruit essential oil:
As it is rich in anti-oxidants and vitamin C it helps boost the immune system. Like all citrus oils it is an anti-depressant. It stimulates certain hormones which have an uplifting effect on the brain, reducing anxiety and stress. It is also used to aid digestive issues as it calms the stomach!
Frankinsense essential oil:
The three wise men were very wise as Frankisense aids relaxation by deepening breathing and letting your lungs expand. It also has an antiseptic quality which means it is a skin-healer, it fights bacteria and infections and helps heal wounds and other kinds of skin worries.
Sandalwood essential oil:
This is distilled from the roots of trees aged up to 80 years old. Its scent is called chandana which induces a calm and meditative state. It is mainly used to treat infections in reproductive organs and bladder infections, whilst also aiding a sore throat.
Chamomile essential oil:
the king of all calm! It is rich in antiseptic and antibiotic properties which means it provides relief from depression and can reduce your blood pressure. It is mostly used to relieve muscle and joint pain.
Peppermint essential oil:
stimulating and soothing! Peppermint eases nausea, increases energy and helps with headaches. You can add a few drops to a glass of water for a get-up-and-go feeling. It can also be applied on the bottom of your feet to decrease a high fever!
When there is a will, there is way
here are three ways in which aromatherapy can be applied: aerial diffusion, this is through oil evaporation, direct inhalation, when you breathe oils straight in and topical applications when you apply oils straight to the skin.
Holy holistic
Aromatherapy is a holistic approach, which aims to treat the whole person, what that individual needs and does not just focus on one symptom or disease. That's why many of the oils have more than one property; they work in lots of different ways. Make sure to look out for 100% pure oils and dilute them properly with either carrier oil or water. Essential oils work naturally to support the body's natural ability to regulate, heal, balance and maintain itself.
Sick of being stressed?
Stress really can make you sick and without realising many people find it is the cause of many illnesses in modern times. Aromatherapy, if nothing else, combats stress and promotes a positive physical and mental equilibrium. Aromatherapy promotes positive physical and mental balance to help you balance all the things you need to in life!

CDC Slams Anti-Smoking Spot Cuts
Teen smoking rates, once dropping sharply, leveled off after anti-smoking media campaigns suffered big cuts in federal and state funding, says a new report by the Centers for Disease Control.
"The lack of substantial change among middle and high school students during the preceding two years emphasizes the need for sustained, comprehensive, evidence-based programs that demonstrate the ability to reduce adolescent smoking," CDC concluded in a report published April 1 in the centers' Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.A big reduction in anti-smoking media campaigns was one of two causes for stagnating smoking rates suggested by CDC. The other was tobacco companies' increased Internet marketing and tobacco product price cuts aimed a blunting the impact of state tobacco tax hikes. During the past two years, funding for anti-smoking media campaigns took a dive. The states cut funding for tobacco-prevention programs by 28% $523 million. At the national level, the state tobacco settlement money used to fund "truth" anti-smoking ads ended after 2003.The CDC survey found that 22.3% of high school students had smoked in the month before they were surveyed, statistically no change from the 2.5% measured in 2002. As for middle schoolers, 8.1% had smoked as opposed to 9.8.% two years before. Even though the middle school numbers dropped by almost two percentage points, CDC said the decline was "no significant change."
Because of a decline in media images, they cannot be blamed for leveling smoking rates. During the 2002-04 span, CDC found a "significant overall decline" in the share of high school students--from 91.3% to 86.5%--who reported seeing actors using tobacco on television or in the movies. Given that popular media figures are sometimes viewed by children as role models, smoking critics have argued that tobacco use on the small and big screen contributes to tobacco use among children.
Anti-smoking group Tobacco Free Kids jumped on the CDC report to criticize tobacco's price cutting and marketing practices as well as state anti-smoking cutbacks. "States have no excuse for their failure to do more. They are collecting more revenue than ever before from the tobacco settlement and tobacco taxes, more of which should be used to fund tobacco prevention and cessation programs."

The Panel wants to hear views on
What should Community and Town Councils be responsible for?

What's standing in their way to deliver for the local community?
How do Councils ensure they best represent their local community?
The review is expected to take around a year.
One Voice Wales has organised a consultation event on Wednesday 29 November 2017 at Chirk Town Council from 2-4 pm.

374.4 Review of the Electoral Arrangements for the County of Denbighshire
Two letters dated 25 October 2017 www.ldbc.gov.wales Closing date for comments – 23 January 2018.
Councillor Moira Edwards attended a briefing meeting on 17 October. This Review, which is not about Parliamentary Constituencies, will commence in January 2018 and will end in Spring 2021. The Review will propose the pattern of electoral wards for the entire Council area and not just where there are levels of electoral inequality. Denbighshire is a Category 4 area. The Commission has determined that Category 4 Councils should have a councillor to population ratio of 1:2,000. Currently Denbighshire has 76,292 electors and a membership of 47, an average of 1 councillor to 1623 electors. The Review will look at changes to Denbigh Upper/Henllan; Llanbedr DC/Llangynhafal and Llandrillo.

374.5 School Governor Vacancy – Ysgol Pentrecelyn – Email dated 2 November 2017 from Sarah Wynne, Chair of Governors. RESOLVED that Councillor Medwen Roberts be put forward as the Community Council's nominee for consideration.
375 PLANNING – www.denbighshire.gov.uk/planning
375.1 Application 20/2017/0819 Development of 1.24 ha of land by the erection of a new primary school including external play6 areas, habitat area, formation of new vehicular access, car parking with drop off area, landscaping, bin store, LPG and sprinkler tanks – Glebe Land Opposite Bron y Clwyd, Llanfair DC
Reported that the Chairman had asked the Leader, Councillor Hugh Evans, for a meeting with Education and Housing representatives to discuss the mains gas proposal, whether there will be a separate application for a footpath to link the proposed housing development with Bron y Clwyd, concerns about traffic calming measures in the village and whether they are adequate. The meeting took place on 19 October 2017, the Community Council being represented by Councillors John Pugh, Jayne Mayers, Keith Moulsdale and Moira Edwards, together with the Clerk in attendance.
The Leader also expressed an interest at the Community Council meeting in finding out more about the use of Optimism Bias [part of HM Treasury's 'Green Book' rules for public procurement] that might be applied to projects such as the new school in assessing, for example, renewable energy solutions. It was also reported that solar panels will now be installed.
RESOLVED agreed that the application be supported in principle. Although there is reference to a footpath to link the proposed housing development through Bron y Clwyd to the new school it is not expressly shown within the documents presented. Assurances are also being sought about managing traffic, including calming measures, and whether they are adequate both through the village and to and from the new school. The development will have an impact on residents whether they live near the boundary of the new school or the footpath link and it is hoped that there will be further discussions with those affected in a positive and sensitive manner. Members expressed a preference for mains gas rather than LPG and asked to see any conditions attached.
375.2 Application 20/2017/0771 Change of use of first floor store above existing garage to annex accommodation – The Barn, Pentre Coch, Ruthin RESOLVED that the Council has no objection to the application and it is noted that there is no visual alteration.
375.3 Application 20/2017/0955 Erection of replacement and new dormers to dwelling – Bryn Creigiog, Graigfechan, Ruthin RESOLVED that the Council fully supports the application, it is more a modern repair than an alteration.
375.4 Application 20/2016/1137 Development of Land for Housing Llanfair D C Reported that Planning is committed to undertaking a public consultation once the details showing phases for the development are submitted and will be reported to the Planning Committee. Since Section 106 documents have been signed, a response is awaited from the Planners.
375.5 Update on Consultation on LDP Review Report & Draft Delivery Agreement for the Replacement LDP – Closing date for comments – 20 October 2017. The document represents a broad brush approach with no fine detail. The Review concedes that the housing build target has not met the projected figures by a long way. Llanfair D C has three designated sites – [a] Vicarage field [now to be a school [b] Bryn Clwyd and [c] rear of crossroads at Bron y Clwyd [now joined up for proposed development for 63 houses]. Questions have been raised about the status of the existing school site in relation to the LDP. The LDP Review is in very initial stages and a review of existing land allocations has not yet taken place. There will be consultation on any proposed land allocations for the replacement plan in due course.
375.6 Caravan at Erw Fair Reported that DCC's Planning and Compliance Officer had written to the owner to reiterate the need to comply with the notice to remove the caravan from Erw Fair. Although the caravan was moved to a site closer to the dwelling house, it would appear that it is still on agricultural land. The owner has been given 21 calendar days [from 10 October 2017] to move the caravan to a site within the cartilage of the dwelling house. RESOLVED that the Compliance Officer be requested to keep the Community Council informed on developments.
Guest Speaker – Mr Ben Wilcox-Jones, Senior Engineer – Road Safety & Sustainable Transportation, DCC Mr Wilcox-Jones gave an overview of his responsibilities which was followed by a question and answer session. He explained that data for speed limits/traffic monitoring is collected in accordance with nationally recognised methods of recording. Records show reductions on high speeds in the area but he acknowledged that speeding still requires addressing. A copy was requested. There is no recorded accident injury or collision data available. Police approval is required for a compulsory 20 mph limit, a voluntary 20 mph limit is in place by Llanfair School.
Questions were also raised about fixed speed cameras, traffic lights, traffic calming measures at Graigfechan, priority signs, advance warning signs, speed boxes, parking outside and drop off points for the new school at Llanfair, lack of pedestrian facilities. External funding is required to implement some if not all measures. A suggestion was put forward for neighbouring Community Councils to look for joint funding from say, windfarm sources, for prioritised schemes in future.
Mr Wilcox-Jones stated that he would take comments made back to the County Council. The Chair thanked him for attending and for his contribution at the meeting.
PART 2 RESOLVED that the Press and Public be excluded from the meeting due to the confidential nature of the following items:
377.1 Request for Financial Aid – Marie Curie Nurses
RESOLVED that decision be deferred until the March meeting.
377.2 Payment of Accounts/Invoices RESOLVED that payments be made as follows:
[a] £40.00 One Voice Wales – Clerk's Attendance on Finance Training 26/09/17
[b] £155.70 – Sandra Williams Translation Service – Minutes 03/07/17 & 07/08/17
[c] £380.00 – D P Williams, Building Services – Emergency Repairs to War Memorial
377.3 Precept for 2018/19
Submitted Draft 2 for consideration. It was recommended that the following cost headings be increased to meet increasing costs and new project demands on the budget – clerk's salary, job adverts, repairs and maintenance, members' training/conferences/travelling expenses, external audit fee, community plan activities, war memorial repairs, and street furniture [general waste bins and defibrillator costs].
RESOLVED that [a] Draft 2 be approved as submitted and that a precept budget of £25,403 is to be applied for and [b] the Clerk arranges for the Community Council to be registered for small lotteries activities with the County Council at a cost of £40.
Reported that the wreath had been delivered but no Police would be available due to other demands on the service on the day.

George Saunders
George Saunders (born 1958) is an American writer of short stories, essays, novellas, and novels.
His writing has appeared in many newspapers and magazines. He is a professor at Syracuse University and has won awards such as the 2017 Man Booker Prize.
I love George and his writings. I feel as though there was my life before reading George Saunders' stories and my life after. Begin with "The Brief and Terrifying Life of Phil" or "Lincoln in the Bardo". Just go with it...some of the writing may seem surreal...but it all connects to the human condition and leaves you with a lot to ponder.

Weight Loss Stories
Lost 60 lbs since November '07
After 2 children and many extra pounds I decided to finally do something about it. I lost 15 lbs on my own by doing cardio at the Y then started taking Mixed Martial Arts and Kickboxing at Tiger Shulmann's. I also severely limited breads and pasta's and finally soda (I dislike diet soda so I drank mostly water). I managed to lose 60 lbs between late November 2007 and June 2008 and have been holding steady since then.

Madame Bovary
Madame Bovary
Premiere on April 2, 2011 in Von Krahl.
Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary has been called a perfect novel.
The novel's heroine Emma Bovary has inspired the term bovarism, which denotes the state of mind of people who want to "see themselves as other than they are". Almost everyone's psychological makeup contains a bit of bovarism. "Every notary bears within him the debris of a poet"…
Emma is a pure representation of bovarism. She might find real, albeit banal happiness, if she devoted herself to her daughter and made some effort to educate the husband, whose love for her renders him quite malleable. And since Emma loves poetry, she might discover the poetry in nature and village life and sturdy peasant love.
But she refuses to see what's around her. Instead of living the life she's been given, she dreams of one that is completely different. That is her vice. As it was Flaubert's.
And it is your vice too, hypocritical spectator…
A romantic woman, who cheats on her mediocre husband, ruins him and finally takes her life – it might seem trivial, but great tragedies can only blossom from the soil of banality…
Based on André Maurois's "De La Bruyere a Proust" 1964.
Authors: GUSTAVE FLAUBERT, MARIANNE KÕRVER
Director: MARIANNE KÕRVER

Much like you'd like to think summer works – the cafes of Paris does work – they just keep going – long past the time they should. So welcome to September.
The Cafe des Beaux Arts sits at the corner of the Rue Bonaparte and the Quai Malaquais, on the Left Bank of the Seine, just west of the Pont des Arts. Right across the river sits the Louvre. Just down the street is the D'Orsay, while Notre Dame sits a wee bit off in the other direction. Where else would you actually want to sit on a lovely summer night in Paris – even around 10:30pm. That is what summer is for, after all.
So enjoy month nine of 12 months of Paris – still all shot in June 2016. So why not click on a link below to find a lovely desktop for the month ahead. Enjoy!

Brad and Hannah have fallen behind Charlie and Tripod. With the company and scenery too good and blisters and knees too sore, it all added up to lingering at Kennedy Meadows longer than expected and then, once back on the trail, going more slowly than planned. Tomorrow, as it turns out, should be Mt. Whitney day, with a side trip to the summit.

Okay so Ms. Woo Woo Teacup tagged me with this 20 quesiton Meme, she's changed some of the question and I may change a few more just because most questions relate to a significant other and I haven't had one in over a decade. We'll see how it goes I guess.
1. If you have pets, do you see them as merely animals, or are they members of your family? (Original question: If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?) Yes, we have 3 pets…used to be four but the fish died. We have a Yorkshire Terrier named Jack, a cat I refer to as trouble-maker and a pet Chinchilla that I call Hat. Not really the Chin's name is Mousy. Collectively they make up the food chain.
The pets are pets…sorry.
2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be? Writing the Great American Novel.
3. What is the one thing most hated by you? I think the significance of truth is vastly underestimated. So my answer is the many shade of dishonesty.
4. What would you do with a billion dollars? I'd give my mom and my kids each a million, I'd buy an Aston Martin Vanquish or a Vantage or both. Then I'd tuck myself away somewhere very remote with a breathtaking view…today I'll pick the Highlands of Scotland and I'd write and write and write and write.
5. What helps to pull you out of a bad mood? (Original question: Will you fall in love with your best friend?) Music
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone? Both
7. What is your bedtime routine? (Original question: How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love?) Wash up, P.J.'s, tea, reading, writing or an audiobook…usually the audiobook.
8. If you are currently in a relationship, how did you meet your partner? (Original question: If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?) Not in a relationship. I don't.
9. If you could watch an creative person in the act of the creative process, who would it be? (Original question: If you like to act with someone, who will it be? Your gf/bf or an actress/actor?) Sooo many, Vincent Van Gogh, Leonardo Da Vinci, Jane Austen …maybe Edgar Allen Poe for a strange twist.
10. What kinds of books do you buy? (Original question: What do you expect of your loved one?) It would be faster if I listed the kinds of books I don't buy…textbooks.
11. How would you see yourself in ten years time? Through stronger bifocals.
12. What's your fear? Heights and spiders
13. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is? A very good friend.
14. Would you rather be single and rich or married, but poor? I'd rather be content on any terms.
15. What's the first thing you do when you wake up? Open my eyes and make coffee… okay sometimes I make coffee without opening my eyes.
16. Would you give all in a relationship? Only if it was never expected of me.
17. If you could pick a new name for yourself, what would it be? First name is fine, but if you're feeling imaginative, you can do the whole thing. (Original question: If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick?) Eden Winter
18. What's your favorite magazine? (Original question: Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing that special someone has done?) Policy Review
19. When it comes to patterns, what sort of patterns do you prefer? (Original question: What are your three most important expectations in love?) Houndstooth or plaid
20. List people to tag: nobody

I've been looking forward to getting this one into my ear-holes since I finished Death March. I'm having one of those stints of not being able to get as many audiobooks as usual in though because work has been.... strange. Ehhh so it goes. So, when I finally had a good day of time for...

SPFBO Review: The Gods of Men by Barbara Kloss
I'm just gobbling up these hopefuls. I never doubted though - if Esme, Wol or Coffee like a book, there's a good, good chance that I will also like that book. It has proven wrong a time or two... and it certainly doesn't work in reverse all the time (KISSING BOOOOOOOKS) - but it's a... Continue Reading →
SPFBO Review: Strangehold by Rene Sears
Another one of Wol's hopefuls makes it into my eyeholes today! Woooo! Morgan Tenpenny has retreated from her painful, magical past, choosing to live quietly as a guardian of one of the gates between worlds. But her sister Gwen is married to a lord of the High Court of Faerie—and when Gwen asks her to... Continue Reading →
Review: Mistress Mage by Kayleigh Nicol
Having really liked Sorcerous Rivalry a couple of months ago, when the sequel dropped, I couldn't help myself. I had to have it immediamente! I even managed to read it within the month too, which is a boon. In the peace following the Great Mage Hunt, the king's long-time mistress is revealed as a sorceress.... Continue Reading →
SPFBO Review: Lords of Asylum by Kevin Wright
I was rather excited to get to this one, because when Wol likes a book, I tend to generally also like that book! Of course... this isn't universal... but ehhh close enough. 😀 Waylaid in the wilds, they left him for dead… Sir Luther Slythe Krait is a bad man. He tried outrunning his past,... Continue Reading →
Review: The Elder Ice by David Hambling
This was a review request that sounded really interesting, as it is a bit of a horror/mystery that takes place in... our world, but with some Lovecraftian shenanigans included as well. So off I went into my world of 1920s London adventure! In this atmospheric novella, ex-boxer Harry Stubbs is on the trail of a... Continue Reading →
Review: City of Lies by Sam Hawke
Another book that was on my radar because everything I'd heard about it was amazing. I couldn't help myself, and as soon as I got myself an audible credit, it went directly at this audiobook! I was seven years old the first time my uncle poisoned me... Outwardly, Jovan is the lifelong friend of the... Continue Reading →
Review: The Last Guardian by Michael R. Miller
I've been looking forward to this one for a while, but had so much on my plate at the time that it got a little buried. So, I'm glad that I could finally read to the end of this story. This review is based on a review copy that I received from the author. :)... Continue Reading →

By using selecting the maximum favorable crimp style, we're able to offer a higher pleasant mesh more efficaciously. Aesthetically, the decrease the md ratio, the extra heft the wire mesh will appear to have; the better the md ratio, the much less heft a mesh will seem to have. At the same time as now not honestly a fundamental crimp fashion, we select to listing it with the alternative crimp patterns because of its considerable use. Intercrimp is actually undeniable crimp except that cord intersections occur handiest at each third, fifth, seventh intersection, and many others.

I've seen in the past scraper sites cause problems for sites in Google and this blog is currently been scraped and outranked sometimes by brokencontrollers.com. A quick spam report to google and the offending site soon goes away. But it seems that the page to report spam to google has been removed recently and you can only report spam while signed into a Google account…
The page used to be located at http://www.google.com/contact/spamreport.html known as the "unauthenticated" you could report spam anonymously, so no ties to your Google account which links to your site.
That page now 301 re-directs to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreport?hl=en which does load up the form but only when logged in to a Google Account with Webmaster Tools.
The landing URL from the natural ranking for "report spam" takes you just the dashboard of webmaster tools which is pretty useless, guessing they haven't added the correct re-direct.
This seems a strange move by Google as this may decrease the number of spam reports.
1. Not everyone has a Google account.
2. Even if you have a Google account your might not have Webmaster Tools.
3. You might not want to report on an webmaster tools account that contains your site if you use any black hat methods. E.G. reporting your competitor may draw attention to your site.
Google's best method of detecting spam and paid links are reports from webmasters, SEO's and users. This move to to remove the unauthenticated / anonymously report method may have made their jobs a little harder?

Order this amazing handmade chocolate gift!
- Rated 5 out of 5
J.Davis –
Discovered this site by chance. A great opportunity to treat friends and family members who are difficult to buy for. The range is fantastic and you really can find something of interest to suit everybody. The items are realistic and it is only the gift box packaging itself which gives the game away. These presents mean I am unable to comment on the taste which isn't really helpful as a review and I don't suppose I'm sending out the right message to toddlers watching their parents indulge themselves eating what look like everyday items, but hay ho, it is Christmas and I'm not the responsible parent. To summarize, great range, very realistic, original designs and speedy, well packaged delivery service. Thank you Amazing Chocolate Workshop.

I was just re-cataloguing my Gormiti with the help of the checklists (thanks for those, Strontium Dog). I realized I have two who don't seem to be in the right colors for any checklist. The figures were distributed in at least two sets, but neither time does the checklist show them looking like this. My best guess was that they're from Final Evolution. Does anyone know?

I've been gone all day today doing genealogical research in Devon. It was very fruitful.
I went to see what I could dig up about the only ancestors on my father's side with whom I have made a connection from the US back to the UK. I still don't know when my great-great-great-grandmother immigrated, but I know that she was born in 1807 in Arlington, Devon and died in 1874 in Owensburg, Indiana. I don't even know when she got married, but she was having children in Ohio by 1831. I knew the name of her father and mother, and her paternal grandparents and great-grandparents and a few dates.
Thanks to some wonderfully indexed and transcribed parish registers, I was quickly able to dig down much further. I found one set of her great-great-great-great-grandparents. That's my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents John and Agnes (in the baptismal record of their son, "Agnis" in the burial record) Moor. Don't let the last name make you think they were Spanish Muslims. Spelling being rather non-standardised in the 17th century, they are buried as Moor but baptised their son as Moore. Likewise their grandaughter was baptised as Moore, but married as Moor (becoming a Taylor).
In terms of dates, the earliest I could reach was the baptism of their son, my great (x8) grandfather Francis in 1635. Most people who can get back much further than this have an ancestor with a long-established genealogy, usually a peer of the realm or some such.
People really like having famous ancestors. I remember when I broke the news to a recently met distant cousin that we were not descended in a particular line from the Earls of Northumberland (before that title was raise to a dukedom) – that the dates made it a chronological impossibility – and she was neither happy nor buying it.
The ancestors I found today seem to be rather common folk as far as I can tell. I couldn't find any wills because the Luftwaffe took care of those in their very thorough bombing of Exeter. All the wills were keep in the ecclesiatical courts there at the time. My great-great-great-grandfather James Taylor was not a famous folk singer, but rather a shoemaker. Likewise his daughter is Elizabeth was not married eight times, but rather had eight children, the fifth of which was my great-great-grandmother Sarah Elizabeth McWhirter. She in turn had 13 children. I belief the ninth one was my great-grandmother, who died the year of my birth and whose voice I have recorded from 1948.
But back to my day. . . I drove out through the tiny winding country lanes of North Devon to the little church at Loxhore where the ancestors I found today were hatched, matched, and dispatched. The font cover in the church dates from the 16th century – very possibly the cover removed to baptise each of my ancestors. It is a very small church and the acoustics were fabulous. I know because I used the opportunity to sing the Trisagion Prayers before commending the souls of my long-departed ancestor to safe-keeping of the Heavenly Father. After all, they may have been dead for over 300 years, but once they enter eternity, there is no time. It is just as if it were yesterday. I kissed the font as I asked God to remember their baptisms.
I don't know how long it has been since anyone has even thought of them – how long they have been lost to the passage of time. Probably many, many years. I have found them. Now may their memory be eternal.

We invited the wonderful Matilda Rice & Art Green to have a taster of what you can get up to in our brilliant region for the ultimate Marlborough Wine & Food Festival Weekend. They got a taster of all things Festival and all things Marlborough.
Check out Matilda's blog on the epic trip below!
Hello lovely readers! Hope you've all been keeping well. I haven't blogged in a while, so looking forward to getting amongst it again.
Art and I have had a busy few weeks, and I thought I would share with you the EPIC weekend we had down in Marlborough. If you're anything like me, you might not have heard of the Marlborough Wine and Food Festival that happens every year on the second Saturday of Feb … Or maybe you have? Maybe you've even bloody BEEN THERE! Well if you haven't, you're in for a treat. We got asked to come down for a weekend and have a "taster" of everything the event has to offer and what else you can get up to while in Marlborough for the festival. And let me tell you – there's a lot. I'll start from the beginning of the trip, and hopefully you feel like you were there with us!
We touched down at Blenheim Airport on Thursday morning and were met by the lovely team from MWFF (shorthand for Marlborough Wine and Food Festival because I'm a lazy typer K), and taken straight to Brancott Cellar Door and Restaurant (just by the location of the festival), and can I just say… That place is dreamy! We had a delicious lunch whilst hearing about wine (and tasting them of course) from Patrick Materman, the head winemaker at Brancott. Marlborough is known for its Sauvignon Blancs, so from someone who hates white wine (so I thought) we tried some amazing wines. Maybe I've only ever had shitty whites?!
After lunch we were taken on a joy ride up in a chopper to see the sheer amount of vines the Marlborough region has! It was pretty incredible, and chopper joy rides are on offer on the day of the festival.
After the chopper ride we stopped at another winery – Wither Hills (I'm sure you're sensing a theme here), to get schooled up on wine and cheese pairing, which is ANOTHER thing you can do at MWFF. Unfortunately, I'm not very adventurous with my cheeses, I'm more of a standard brie fan, nothing too smelly or mouldy – but Art was all over it. The man ate enough cheese for the both of us!
After an hour or so to rest and digest at our hotel, we headed out for dinner for some more consumption. We were luckily enough to be seated at the prep bench in the kitchen at Arbour Dining. These guys do the catering for the VIP area at MWFF. You may remember we had dinner there last time we were down in Marlborough (documented in a previous blog) and it is still one of the best places I've eaten, not just because of the food but because of the lovely warm and welcoming nature of the staff. They even checked in with us if we were eating strictly paleo on this trip or not… Just that extra mile ya know?
Friday morning, we were up bright and early for brekky and a bike/wine tour! I was a little sceptical as I'm a terrible biker, but it was so much fun. Before we hit the wineries hard, we had brekky at Vines Village Café – if you're ever down in Marlborough, I HIGHLY recommend this place! Again the staff were another level of welcoming. Actually now that I think about it, EVERYONE that we met was so friendly. Maybe it's a Marlborough thing.
The first winery stop was Nautilus, where we met Brett who took us on a tour of the premises and talked us through how they make the different types of wine. We even had it straight from the barrel, and I don't know why that was so satisfying? The second stop was Framingham Wines, which was really different to any other winery I've ever been to! First of all, it feels very "rock n roll" and Jim the winemaker just did not look like your typical wine maker! He was awesome, and didn't take himself too seriously. We did the wine tasting in the basement surrounded by drum kits and electric guitars where they often have music gigs… Very cool. We then stopped at Wairau River for a lovely lunch with the team there (and of course more wine tasting, at this point I feel I am now a connoisseur), before heading back to our hotel for a power nap before the evenings activities.
We got picked up and taken out to Waikawa Boating Club to take part in the Wine Marlborough Pre-Race Mini Series. What on earth is that you may ask? Well, later this year, the wineries compete against each other in a sailing race (called the Wine Race), but they have a couple of mini races, so we took part in one of those. Our skipper Ash (absolute legend) took the charge and tried to incorporate us somehow in the sailing process, but I think we were possibly more of a hindrance than anything ha! The race course had us heading out in the Sounds, go round an island, and come back. On the way out to the island it was pretty slow going, hardly any wind, very serene (my kind of boating if I'm honest), but as soon as we came back around the island, we could see the wind coming across the water, and it was ALL ON from then! All hands on deck some might say. We were tacking, everyone was working hard, and I was just clinging on for dear life, to be honest, but it was AWESOME. Best experience ever. We ended up coming second too – I think that was down to my skills of keeping up morale. I'll totally take the credit.
After the most epic, fun-filled couple of days, we got back to the hotel and collapsed in to our pillows before flying home the next morning. We had the best time, and really got a taste of how awesome the MWFF will be. If you do one thing in 2019, head along to that (you can get tickets here).
Until next time Marlborough x
