Less is More - Week 228 - Home
I used:
- 6" x 6" square white card blank
- all stamps came from the SU 'Holiday Home' set. First I drew a pencil line for placement and then stamped the three houses plus street lamps using Memento 'Tuxedo Black' ink
- then I drew a black line right across the card to 'ground' the street
- next came the two hearts coming out of the chimney topped with the sentiment, both stamped using SU's 'Real Red' ink
- and then, my hand went to some markers to colour in the houses - but I bottled out. Even considered colouring just the doors red but again, I bottled out
So now it's a very simple row of purely stamped houses with just the pops of red above the centre house - and you know what? I'm happy to leave it just like that :)

A lovely card Di - I don't think it needs any more colour on the houses as the red of the hearts and sentiment really pop against the card.

It's just perfect as it is, Di. Love the hearts. Coincidence being what it is, I've been making a new home card too but I'd say mine was the polar opposite of your CAS card :) Hugs, Elizabeth xx

Just to clarify, Di, it's not a pink sink that Louise has in her kitchen, though I bet she wishes, but the washbasin that fits in the sink, as is the dish draining rack, cutlery drainer, washcloths, etc., ... the whole nine yards! Hugs, Elizabeth xx

As a parent, your family's health is always the top priority. That is why we spend a good amount of time coming up with the most nutritious meals and scheduling regular check-ups.
But the way things are going right now, taking care of your family's health has become a little more expensive. Insurance premiums are going up; the same goes for treatment and diagnostic plans you have been using before for less.
Yet, despite the increasing costs of healthcare, we still have to invest considerably in our families' welfare. After all, health is wealth, and there are ways to remain financially stable and still lead a fit life.
In This Post:
Maintain a healthy environment
Make sure that you are living in a house that's free from risks. That means keeping it clean and tidy as much as possible. Bacteria and other harmful organisms can lurk in every corner, so you will need to thoroughly cleanse your home from top to bottom. Also, pests such as rats and cockroaches bring in various illnesses, but you also need to secure your family health in the process. It's important to select environmentally-friendly less toxic pest control methods. For roaches, you might want to try coffee traps. As for rodents, you can get the right rat zapper choices to help you get rid of mice and rats.
Eat right and eat healthy
Our health is closely connected to our diets. With that being said, the food and drinks we take in can affect our bodies in the right or in the wrong ways. Of course, you want your family to go the right way when it comes down to their health. For that, you can prepare a weekly menu that includes the foods they actually need. Don't just focus on pumping meals with protein. Add in some essential vitamins that improve their immune systems, and you won't have to pay for avoidable conditions.
Get a savings account for your healthcare needs
Aside from having a deductible insurance plan, you can also set up a savings account solely for qualified healthcare expenses. This will help you set aside a workable amount that you can use to reduce costs on major treatments and other health-related services or products. To be sure, ask your employer if you can set up a health savings account on top of your deductible insurance plan.
Control how much you spend
Nothing is more complicated to a parent than managing a monthly budget. You need to make the right calculations and ensure that every cent doesn't go to waste. When it comes to setting aside an amount for healthcare, make sure that all your family's needs are secured. A good rule of thumb is to save more than what you need when it comes to health. You won't know if an emergency comes up, so already having a contingency fund is an example of wise financial management.
Prioritize safety in the home
Accidents can leave you maimed, and the costs they entail can disrupt your finances. Of course, you shouldn't always ignore an injury inside the house, but it's always best not to take any chances when it comes to preventing an accident. So, improve safety inside as well as outside the home. Be sure that electrical facilities as well as furniture are child-proof. It is a considerable investment to begin with, but it's better than receiving an expensive hospital bill.

Acquisition of Managed Hosting Company Titan Internet heralds Golden Age for iomart Group
The opportunities to add value through infrastructure, technology and marketing synergies are significant
£4.2M cash purchase nets iomart Group service focused managed hosting company
iomart Group plc (AIM:IOM), the managed hosting and cloud computing services company, has today acquired the entire issued share capital of Titan Internet Limited, a leading UK managed server hosting company, for £3.6M cash on completion with a further amount of up to £0.6M payable in April 2011.
11 year old Titan Internet has become one of the UK's most respected and technically advanced hosting companies, particularly in the areas of virtualisation and network management. In recent years Titan Internet has achieved a well deserved reputation for excellent customer delivery and service.
Titan is focussed on delivering highly reliable complex managed and virtualised hosting solutions and has built an impressive client base, currently managing over 1,000 servers on behalf of clients ranging from SMEs to large corporates.
As at 31 August 2009, the net assets of Titan were £765k with revenues of £3.4M, EBITDA of £648k and pre-tax profits of £342k. Titan currently has net cash of approximately £500k.
Angus MacSween, CEO iomart Group plc, stated: "We announced back in June that the Group intended to become the UK's leader in the relatively new cloud computing market through a combination of organic growth and acquisition. Our enviable position of having a strong balance sheet and an additional £10 million credit facility from Lloyds Banking Group, enables us to make strategic and complementary acquisitions such as Titan Internet when they present themselves."
Angus MacSween added: "The purchase of Titan Internet provides us with additional highly skilled technical expertise particularly in the areas of virtualisation and network management, both core attributes required to deliver the full range of cloud computing flavours to the marketplace. "
"In Titan we have acquired a profitable business with a strong service brand that we expect to continue to thrive within our group environment and I am pleased that the management team responsible for growing the business has agreed to continue to drive it forward under our ownership".
Lee Christie MD of Titan Internet stated: "We believe today's announcement will bring enormous benefits to both our employees and customers alike. We are delighted to be joining the iomart Group at such an exciting time in the evolution of hosting services. We will benefit from the economies of scale, product innovation and financial support that the Group gives us, and we are confident we will be able to accelerate our growth and revenues as a result."
Angus MacSween added: "Having recently announced that our organic growth is ahead of market expectations, we believe the acquisition of Titan will accelerate that growth through the incorporation of an excellent managed hosting operation with an impressive client list."
"The opportunities to add value through infrastructure, technology and marketing synergies are significant. In consequence, iomart expects the acquisition to be immediately earnings enhancing before the costs of integration synergies."
Finally Angus MacSween added: "The Group continues to make excellent progress in the buoyant, but embryonic, cloud computing marketplace. We are now established, gaining market recognition and a reputation for service excellence, and I believe we are now extremely well placed to rapidly grow our market share. Today's acquisition announcement cements our intent to be the UK's market leader in this arena."
"We will continue to explore a number of complementary acquisition opportunities over the months ahead enabling us to add revenues, profits, skills and savings to the Group".

What: Subtitled "The Earache Peel Sessions", it's a three disc set of just that.
Selection: 118 tracks from a pile of influential grindcore artists recorded in the 80s and 90s for the John Peel Show. Take a look (click and the res will clear up):
Is it enough? Some might miss the inclusion of Peaceville bands like Prophecy of Doom, but this is Earache's party, the product of a deal with the BBC to identify and catalogue a bewildering pile of master tapes. It's plenty! 8 out of 10
Packaging: Bare bones. Two jewel cases in a slip cover. The cover art is identical on the two disc cases – don't you just hate that? Ah well, I suppose the grind aesthetic was never lavish. The initial pressing was in a gatefold digipack with a bigger booklet; go for that if you see it. In summary, nothing to put on display, but it will slot into a regular storage scheme. 6 out of 10
Sonic Manipulation: These are Peel Sessions – in many cases the recording is superior to released product by the bands! 9 out of 10
Rarities/Extras: Again, nothing fancy. The booklet is an interview with Napalm Death's Mick Harris, who shares some old war stories and pays respect to the memory of John Peel. 4 out of 10
Overall: Not a lot of fluff to be had, but if you're all about the music this compilation is definitely value for money. My copy was $11 CDN from Encore Records, a deal that can't be beat. A great snapshot of a wild chapter in the history of these artists, the legacy of John Peel and the development of extreme music in general. 8 out of 10

I have tickets for Disneyland that we didn't get to use due to them closing for coronavirus but they won't refund so we'll have to use them later this year or something. Would these be useful there or only Disney world? We have fast pass or whatever on the tickets and I seem to recall there being some differences between how that is handled at the different locations.

Testimonial from
At the age of 16 I wasn't particularly academic. I was really keen to get out to work to gain experience and also independence. I stayed in mainly admin based jobs throughout and worked for an insurance company and a drug development company. In 2010, after a bit of a hard year personally I decided to take a career break and do something different. I have always enjoyed spending time with children and thought volunteering with GVI was a great opportunity to do this, making a difference and helping out where I could but also to further my travel and cultural experience. After an amazing 10 weeks of volunteering across all of the Cape Town projects I was lucky enough to be offered a staff position as Coordinator for our childcare projects. I later became Senior Coordinator, Project Manager and now just over three years later I am Cape Town Programs Manager. I have grown with confidence over these past few years and surprised myself along the way. I remember I used to be reasonably shy and the thought of presenting to a group of people would of bought me to tears! Now I take these things in my stride and enjoy doing them. I have developed many skills in each of my positions with GVI. GVI has helped me develop and grow over these years. I have learnt a lot from peers but also learned from experiences here. It is a lot of hard work but comes with a lot of rewards whether that is seeing a volunteer, staff member grow with confidence or seeing every day the difference we make to the children and the communities. So now three years on I am still here, still can say I love my job and am learning all of the time.

Kid-Friendly Lessons in Terminator 2
At some point, every actor says it: "I wanted to make a movie my kids could watch." It's a Hollywood rite of passage, and more often than not, the impetus behind box office flops like Dustin Hoffman's Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. But it doesn't have to end in disaster: Johnny Depp, for example, parlayed his desire to make kid-friendly entertainment into a critically successful art-house film (Finding Neverland) and a top-grossing blockbuster franchise (Pirates of the Caribbean).
And then there's the case of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, which in every way was more successful than its predecessor. At $204.8 million, its theatrical gross was a record 434% higher than the original, and it won two of the four Oscar nominations it received (the original received no nominations). So it is perhaps a bit surprising that Arnold Schwarzenegger's stipulation for this sequel was that his character be more family-friendly. Indeed a great deal of publicity went into promoting the fact that Arnold would be playing the good guy, and after the film was released, a great deal more noted that despite all the violence and mayhem, only 16 people die, all at the hands of Robert Patrick's villainous T-1000.
I was nine years old when Terminator 2 came out, and that summer my brother snuck me into the theater for my very first R-rated film. In accordance with Governor Schwarzenegger's wishes for the movie, I present to you my list of Five Kid-Friendly Lessons in Terminator 2.
1. Certain acts of violence are acceptable, and will not result in death. These include breaking a man's hand and throwing him on a hot stove, picking up a skater punk by the head, and firing a fully automatic railgun into a crowd of police officers.
2. ATM's are a valuable source for funds that don't belong to you… but that can become yours. This one is important, because apparently all you need is a stolen card and an Atari Portfolio hand-held computer.
3. It's okay to fall in love with a computer. I'm not saying I would have had a date before college without this little tidbit lurking in my subconscious, but it probably would have helped.
4. Threatening to inject someone with anti-freeze is a good way to make people give you what you want. Hey kids, it's a household item and you can use it to get that new Atari Portfolio hand-held computer you've always wanted.
5. Liquid metal is fun! So let's break open all these thermometers and play with the mercury!

Here is the account by Charlotte Lauder, one of the three new German language ambassadors who went on a three week residential intensive German course in Schwäbisch Hall:
On 31st July 2011 Dayna, Chiara and I departed for Schwäbisch Hall, near Stuttgart in Germany for a Goethe Institute PASCH Youth course, undoubtedly one of the best experiences of our lives.
There were 60 students from 12 different countries on the course, including people from Ecuador, the USA, Great Britain, Spain, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Ukraine, Estonia, Ghana, China and South Korea. For 3 weeks we lived together in a guest house.......and attended classes in intensive German. When we arrived we had expected to be put together in a room, however we were all split up and everything was done to encourage us to speak as much German as possible! I was put with a girl from Bosnia and a girl from South Korea and we are now the best of friends. On the second evening we had a Kennenlernabend, where we got to know each other and it was the beginning of some great friendships!
Our lessons took place in a Fachhochschule, an old university in the town that was only 2 minutes walk from the Goethe Institute, where we were able to use the library and have our lunch every day. At the beginning of the course we took a grammar exam to put us into our classes, Chiara and I were put into Rainer's Class, we focused on learning about history. My German definitely improved considerably throughout the course because we were forced to speak German to one another all the time! Near the end of the course everyone took an official Goethe Institute exam, ranging from A1 to C1.
At the beginning of the course we also picked a project to work on throughout our 3 weeks, either the course magazine, theatre or a project about mobility. All 3 of us chose to take part in theatre, where we either took part in the play Geldkäppchen – Little Yellow Riding Hood (in honour of the Goethe Institute), or Aschenputtel – Cinderella, which we performed at our leaving evening at the end of the course. We wrote and directed the plays ourselves so it was a really big achievement for us at the end!
Every Saturday we went on excursions, on the first Saturday we visited Nuremberg, first visiting a Dokumentationszentrum in the morning and then shopping in the afternoon! The same evening we had a Flirt Party and people could write anonymous letters to one another, a lot of fun even though we really were exhausted at the end of the day!
On the following Saturday we visited Stuttgart, the capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg. In the morning we visited a Mercedes-Benz Museum and in the afternoon we were given free time in the city. That night we also had a Switch Party, where the boys had to dress up as girls and the girls as boys!
During the course we also had a Länderabend, when each country did a presentation about where they came from and we also tried one another's food. This along with evenings involving sport, singstar, the music evening, beauty evenings and parties are what probably made the course most memorable for us and allowed us to really bond with each other.
However the leaving evening was definitely the most memorable, when some classes sang a song, the projects presented their findings, and awards from the course were given out. Michael from Greece also played the piano, which was a regular occurrence on the course! The evening ended very emotionally, considering we still had one final day until we all had to say our final farewells…
The very final evening was celebrated with a party and that night, as a gesture of the amazing friendships we had made, everybody stayed up all night because those from Ecuador had to leave at 3.30am. It was extremely difficult to say a final goodbye and everybody was very emotional but we are all still in contact and we are all sure that we have made some amazing long-life friendships through this unforgettable experience!

Posted July 17, 2019
ICL worked with Heb Construction to create an innovative Children's splash pad filled with an array of interesting and colourful water shaped fountains and cannons to challenge the sensors and provide hours of beach side fun.
The iconic New Brighton whale from the old playground has been cloned and now resides in a purpose built paddling pool to the delight of young and old.
Water conservation and heating efficiencies were at the forefront of the New Brighton splash pad and whale pool design. Water from the splash pad and whale pool drains overnight into purpose built underground water tanks for safety, heating and water conservation.
The ICL Christchurch team are back on the New Brighton beach site, working next door, on the specialist water services for the forthcoming New Brighton Hot Water Salt Pools, due to open late 2019.
View our gallery pictures of the water toys, splash pad and the iconic New Brighton whales new beach side home.
If you would like to add some water toys to your park area or create a new sensory water play splash pad for your community space, holiday park or Aquatics centre, the ICl team would be delighted to work with you. Phone or email the ICL team today.

The benefits of probiotics reach far beyond the ability to simply help digest food and go to the bathroom. Probiotics are beneficial bacterial affect our body in nearly every way – from the way our skin looks to how we think and behave. I'll get to that in just a minute.
But to understand the basics of probiotics means you should also understand the basics of how bacteria affects our body. Bacteria – and its constituent genes – are considered a microbiome, or our body's own ecosystem of sorts.
Does Your Gut Have Too Much Bad Bacteria?
Harmful bacteria is found in our small and large intestines, living side-by-side with helpful bacteria. Much of this helpful bacteria can come through the benefits of probiotics, fermented foods and eating lots of raw veggies and fruit.
Bacteria doesn't just stay put in our intestines, though. It can travel to other parts of the body, including into our blood.
If we have too much bad bacteria, the risk of developing autoimmune conditions is increased, including:
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (1)
- Asthma
- Eczema
- Obesity
- Rheumatoid Arthritis (2)
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Heart Failure (3)
- Parkinson's (4)
- Depression and Anxiety
The Benefits of Probiotics
Probiotics are bacteria – just the good kind. We used to think that bacteria colonized in our gut and that was that. Now we know that bacteria tend to take vacations, with new bacteria coming in as the old move out. This is why it's important that we continually restock our gut's supply of good bacteria in probiotic form, so the bad bacteria doesn't take over – wreaking havoc on our body.
From birth through death, our body is filled with bacteria. The goal, however, is that the good can offset the bad. As mentioned above, the link between an overgrowth of bad bacteria, or too little good bacteria can dramatically affect our immune system.
Probiotics: Soldiers of Health
I've taken my fair share of antibiotics over the years. Years ago, I contracted a disease call necrotizing fasciitis, also known as the flesh-eating bacteria. I know bad bacteria all too well.
I had multiple surgeries and a lengthy stay in the hospital, but I came out alive. For that, I'm so grateful.
The reason I'm alive, in addition to the incredible foresight of a vascular surgeon, is because of antibiotics. After all, antibiotics kill bacteria.
To combat the downside of my heavy doses of antibiotics, as well as some questionable nutrition choices I made when I as younger, I take probiotics every morning and every evening.
My kids know probiotics as "soldiers." Today they're 3, 10 and 12. When my oldest was very little, I used to tell her that the chewable probiotics she was taking were soldiers that helped to kill bad germs in her tummy by rebuilding forces with good germs. She bought it and gladly takes them every morning.
Not a bad analogy, right? Feel free to use it with your kids, grandkids, or significant other if he or she need more convincing.
Probiotics Make Us Healthier
Now that you're familiar with how bad bacteria can lead to a number of conditions that can change us in every way – from how we think and feel, to how we move and breathe – it's hopeful to know the benefits of probiotics and eating foods that boost good bacteria can help to potentially offset much of what could hurt us.
- Probiotics are living microorganisms that help to provide a healthy balance to your body's ecosystem.
- Many people notice the benefits of probiotics in the way they digest food and go to the bathroom.
- Probiotics are largely found in your small and large intestine, but can affect many parts of your body.
- Probiotics can be found in supplement form and in foods, including yogurt, kimchi, natto, lassi, sauerkraut, etc.
If you're going to eat your probiotics, let's say from yogurt, I highly, highly recommend you go with a plain variety. You essentially negate any benefit of good bacteria in a probiotic-rich yogurt by eating a sugar-laced variety.
Prebiotics vs Probiotics
If you need some sweetness, add honey. Honey is actually a prebiotic. Prebiotics help to feed probiotics. It's a win-win. A few other examples of prebiotics include:
- Garlic
- Jerusalem Artichokes
- Bananas
- Onions
- Asparagus
- Apples
- Oats
Not All Probiotics Are The Same
Before you run out to go shopping for probiotics, know that they're not all the same. Probiotics are made of different strains. I once listened to a team of RDs talk about selecting good probiotics and they gave some really good advice.
They're suggestion is to only buy a well-researched brand.
How do you know what's well-researched?
The label will include the specific strain of bacteria instead of a general strain.
For example:
- A well-researched brand will look like: Lactobacillus casei Lc-11 or Bifidobacterium breve Bb-03
- A brand that doesn't display their research will look like: Lactobacillus casei or Bifidobacterium breve
Here is what you should look for on the label:
The difference is subtle. In my opinion, a better brand will always disclose the specific strain. And it's always worth a couple extra bucks to know that the company you're buying from has done its research on strains that could benefit your gut!
Here are a couple brands I've used and trust:
- Jarrow Jarro-Dophilus EPS (for me)
- Renew Life Ultimate Flora (if I need extra support)
- Culturelle Kids Chewables (for my kids)
Creating Unhealthy Guts
Taking a probiotic alone won't be enough for you to stay healthy. You may need additional supplementation, but more importantly, you need to take care of your diet.
Imagine bad bacteria is like a fire in your gut. Sugar fans the flames on the bacteria creating more and more. When people have a bacterial over growth, which include symptoms of constant bloating, gas, stomach pain, diarrhea, etc., it's important to see a doctor, but it's also important to cut out sugar.
I can't stress this enough. And for a time, that includes fruits as they're high in fructose. If you need help getting on track with cutting out sugar in your diet, follow my Belly Burn Plan. It's a simple way to greatly reduce refined sugars and high sugar fruits.

Set Up Propane Grill
Before you begin, make sure your grill is safely positioned away from any flammable material and that the grill cover is completely open.
Ensure the gas is turned to the off position before hooking up the propane tank to the grill. If you have not done so already, remember to remove the used tank from the grill.Learn more about how to safely set up your grill.
Turn Off Service Valve
Make sure the tank service valve hand wheel is turned OFF (to the right) completely before connecting to your grill or other appliance.
Remove the blue plastic cap that is covering the nozzle. The plastic cap will be perforated, which makes it relatively easy to remove.
Hook Up and Secure Propane Tank to Grill
After removing the blue plastic cap covering the nozzle, you can now connect the grill's gas line to the nozzle.
The propane tank should fit snugly into the gas line. Turn the coupler at the end of the gas line to the right to secure the connection to the tank. Make sure the fitting is fully screwed in, but not so tight that you won't be able to unscrew it when the time comes to exchange your tank.
Next, turn the gas valve on the propane tank to the open position. Your valve should be in the shape of a triangle and etched with the words "OPD," or overfill protection device. Make sure the gas line is in and secure.
Conduct a Final Safety Check
After your tank is secured and the gas grill is connected to the gas line, there are a few safety practices to ensure you are grilling safely.
- Always inspect and test your cylinder for leaks--especially before the first use of the season.
- If at any time you smell gas, safely turn off the cylinder valve (turning it to the right (clockwise)). If you cannot turn the valve off safely, immediately call 911. The grill and propane tank should be inspected by a qualified service technician before the next use.
Once this is compete, you are ready to turn on your grill or other propane powered device and get cooking!

Generally speaking, there are two sides to how we get food in this country: how we think our food is produced and how it really is produced. These two seem to have drastically diverged somewhere in the 1950s. To a certain extent, this has allowed greater prosperity in the form of cheap food for the masses. However, to a much larger extent we are learning that much of what we sacrificed for lower prices, uniformity, and universal availability is slowly killing us. Further, it has nearly already killed off the way our food producers (farmers, mostly, but even those further down the production line) do their business.
I've been talking for years about the ethical and environmental reasons for buying local products and foods but since we've had kids, we've also been concerned about the health reasons. We had been buying organic foods when possible (products which are getting easier to find and cheaper as a result of greater demand) and also recently went about trying to find locally grown or made products. As Wyatt is about to turn a year old — and thus will be switching off baby formula and on to cow's milk — we decided to try and find some local milk. This is what led us to Hatcher Family Dairy only a few miles away from us, in College Grove, TN.
We had intended to just head down to the Hatcher farm store to have some sandwiches for lunch and get a couple of gallons of milk. We ended up also purchasing some ground lamb and gelato, as well as signing up the entire family for the farm tour later that afternoon. This would be Wyatt's first gallon of milk and wouldn't it be fun to see exactly where it came from and how it was made?
If you watch the film "Food, Inc." — or even read almost anything from Eric Schlosser — you'll learn about some proposed laws which would make it illegal to report on or photograph food processing plants in the U.S. I'm not going to comment on these laws, their current status, or even if this is an accurate description of what they purport to do; but just want to mention that at least some people in this country are concerned about this aspect of the state of food production in this country. So what would we expect from food producers who had nothing to hide? How would we expect a company who is actually proud of how they produce our food? Well, you can find at least one answer at Hatcher: they offer bi-monthly tours of their farm facilities, by members of the Hatcher family and their long-time staff. They — in no uncertain terms — make it clear that if you as a customer have any issues with their milk, come and see them. They are the epitome of the cliche "the buck stops here." Their product is expensive and they freely admit they don't have plans to feed everyone; but you can't help but respect their willingness to be completely open and honest with anyone who walks off the street and onto their farm.
It is also worth noting that it is clear that the family and staff at Hatcher surely do love what they do. I already knew enough of dairy farming to know that no one chooses it because it is an easy life. When you take into account that immediately across the road from the farm is a huge golf course and subdivision of half-million dollar plus homes under construction; you have to realize that farming is a lifestyle they want to continue. It would be so tempting for any farming family sitting on a few hundred acres in one of the country's wealthiest counties to sell out and retire (and likely free a couple of generations to come from ever having to consider if they want to continue the family business). It has happened time and time again all across Williamson County. But here are the Hatchers, of whom the youngest sibling just graduated with a degree in agriculture business and now runs the business in addition to personally milking most every cow, daily.
At the end of our hour-and-a-half tour, our two young kids probably didn't have any better of an idea of where their milk comes that they did before. After all, Ainsley already knew that milk came from cows. However, as an adult, it is amazing to see that someone still makes and sells their milk just as they did since before the Civil War, when they started the farm.
That being said, we all could appreciate the sample of chocolate milk we got.
Later that evening, we made beef & lamb burgers with some of the ground lamb from Hatcher and then had some of their vanilla and strawberry gelato for desert. Dinner with the family out in our back yard was the best; knowing much of it came from another family down the road.

It's Mother's Day and Leslie and John have made reservations for us to eat at Tavern on the Plaza after church. That's always a nice treat. I am looking forward to it. Keith and Esther sent me a lovely card and a nice deposit in my checking account. Scott and Ginger sent me some wonderful tulips. You can see them on the table on the post from yesterday. My kids are terrific. Even Missy, my cat, gave me a card. Bob delivered it for her last evening. I wish I could scan it and post it here. It is hilarious!
We will go to church this morning and after I get home from lunch with the kids, I will do my letters and then later on watch 60 Minutes.
Bob just came in. It's early for church but he wanted to read the paper before we take it to my son-in-law, John, at church.
The next couple of weeks will be very busy. Next weekend I expect a classmate to come on Friday and stay here at my apartment for the 80th Birthday Bash on Saturday and the breakfast Sunday morning. Then that Sunday evening I am to host the Living the Questions group. Gretchen will be here and also the Bredesens will be back. Everyone will want to see all of them so I may have a good crowd. Bobby and Karan are back from Illinois. They finished their work a week early.
More later....
Well, I had a busy afternoon. After a lovely dinner at Tavern on the Plaza, I came home and put together the congregational newsletter and got it out on the mailbox with a birthday card for John.
We had a new member move into our area and she came to church this morning. I wanted to give her a directory but we were completely out so after I finished the letters I printed off another two directories. Karan will sew up the center seam since she has a sewing machine. Then I will send one on to the new member. Then she will have access to each of us. She gave me her address and telephone number.
Later Bob came over to watch 60 minutes with me but we only got to see a quarter of it and the TV station in Tulsa interrupted programming to follow a thunderstorm in southern Oklahoma. Bob went home and I just turned it off and took my bath and watched an entirely different station and program.
We use to get a Pittsburg, Kansas here and we were able to get Kansas news and a different CBS station we could have turned to but they cancelled that channel since they say we are in the Tulsa, Oklahoma marketing area. It's all about the advertisers! Disgusting! At 9:00, Missy and I went to bed.

This Department is as old as the Hospital. It served as a training center for Pathologists,
Technologists, Technicians and Assistants. Dr. E. T. Smith became prominent in the 1930′s
for the training of Medical Students.
During the Colonials days, there was a small Mortuary at Macgregor Island mainly for
Forensic Pathology. Abandoned babies and accident cases were mainly handled there.
Another mortuary was near the Engineering Department. The Mortuary now in use was
built during the administration of Governor Lawal.
The Blood Bank started at Massey Street Children Hospital for maternal cases. Mr. Park and
Mr. Idogwu were Technologists and they both worked at the Blood Bank. When the
maternity section was moved from Massey to the present Lagos Island Maternity Hospital,
the Blood Bank was moved to Broad Street.
The efforts and the hard work of the following pathologists are worthy of note, they are Dr.
Don Santos, Dr. Uku, Dr. Laja, Dr. Ahimie, Dr. Idahosa, Dr. Braimo, Dr. Boyo-Ekwueme and
Some Laboratory Technologists who also contributed their quota to the services rendered
here are Mr. Ayuba, Mr.ldundun, late Mr. Adeyombo, Mr. Aro, Mr.lneh to mention a few.
Also the effort of the popular Mortuary Attendant in the 1960′s cannot go unnoticed

Arizona Care Network diabetes patients to use Solve.Care-Boehringer Ingelheim healthcare blockchain network
Thu, 13 Jun 2019, 06:44 am UTC
Arizona Care Network (ACN), a physician-governed accountable care organization, will soon enable its patients with diabetes to use a healthcare blockchain network to manage their disease and optimize care with their physicians and families.
The Diabetes Care Administration Network, produced by a collaboration between healthcare platform Solve.Care and pharmaceutical leader Boehringer Ingelheim, will implement healthcare blockchain technology to improve the care of 25,000 ACN patients with diabetes, according to the press release.
The network will promote interaction between patients and healthcare providers to address the link between diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, as well as provide evidence-based recommendations to educate patients. It will implement Solve.Care's blockchain-based Care.Wallets to support patients.
"The Diabetes Care Administration Network will help bridge a gap by providing a platform which offers vital information on diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in an easily accessible manner," Solve.Care CEO Pradeep Goel said.
"This is invaluable in the healthcare ecosystem as it allows patients to gain a better understanding of their disease while also coordinating their care needs."
ACN, on the other hand, will offer concierge care management and support care coordinators to boost outcomes for participating patients with diabetes.
The Diabetes Care Administration Network is slated to be launched by the end of this year. Furthermore, the results of the ACN launch will help Solve.Care and Boehringer Ingelheim evaluate expansion opportunities in the United States and globally.
Just recently, blockchain-enabled genome sequencing startup Nebula Genomics has inked its first pharma partnership with Merck KGaA's EMD Serono to help researchers develop new medicines and access Nebula's network of anonymized genome data to better understand lung cancer.

EM Solutions' battle command-on-the-move Ka band communications system was recently demonstrated at Enoggera, aboard a Bushmaster PMV. (photo : ADM)
Implicit in the achievement of the networked battlespace is access to bandwidth and the transfer of data on a scale that may have seemed unthinkable even a decade or so ago.
The introduction of battle management systems for mounted and dismounted infantry in battle groups, and C2 systems for artillery and armoured regiments, is possible only because of the availability of fast data transfer systems below the brigade level, able to handle and process their multi-dimensional information requirements.
But despite the advantages of the high-capacity digital combat radios that the ADF is acquiring for the networking of deployed battle groups, their VHF/UHF voice and data networks are limited by terrain and range.
Full coverage of the battlespace must necessarily rely on radio relays, such as those deployed on UAVs, and of course satellite communications.
And one aspect of the latter, in which the DSTO has shown considerable interest, is military command-on-the-move via satellite, whereby commanders in vehicles can receive and transmit satellite feeds while moving.
Queensland firm EM Solutions, a specialist designer in the telecommunications sector, in 2008 won a CTD contract for battle command-on-the-move Ka band communications.
We understand the system was recently demonstrated at Enoggera, aboard a Bushmaster PMV.
Presumably the CTD was able to demonstrate broadband satellite feeds directly into battle group and below command vehicles, while on the move as distinct from mobile satcom 'at-the-halt'.
There are of course significant advantages in having robust beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) communications available on and behind the battlespace.
Broadband satcom, as promised by the WGS capability, will be able to deliver data, voice and video directly down to battle group and lower echelon commanders.
This CTD, which is properly C2-on-the-move (C2OTM) will provide tactical commanders with important new capabilities, especially in fast-moving counter insurgency or similar operations.
Assuming command vehicles could be operating close to or within hostile territory, a major challenge for EMS (and their teaming partner BAE Systems Australia) would have been to design a low-profile antenna that could provide continuous connectivity in conditions where commercial terminals could be expected to fail, providing up to 1 Mbps continuous data rates for command elements on the move.
The antenna must be able to automatically and rapidly recover from signal blockages due to buildings, terrain or foliage or weather and other atmospheric conditions (Ka Band is susceptible to attenuation from rain).
Since the WGS provides multiple steerable spotbeams including diplex antennas, direct communication via satellite between vehicles or battle group headquarters will be possible, or the satellite feed could be distributed via high-speed modems to mobile 'subscribers' or through IP networks accessible by high data capacity combat radio systems, such as those being acquired under Land 200 and JP 2072.

The embattled charter school board for Edgar P. Harney Spirit of Excellence Academy has suspended its principal amid an investigation into her actions this year.
On Friday (Nov. 2), Harney board member Ashton Ryan Jr. motioned to suspend Ashonta Wyatt with pay pending a board investigation into her actions as principal. Ryan, the former CEO of First NBC Bank, said the decision was made based on information regarding Wyatt that the board received "over the last several hours," as well as from discussions with current and former employees.
Harney's board members didn't share how long the investigation would last. The Rev. Charles Southall III of First Emanuel Baptist Church, Harney's board president, said after the meeting that the board has received "conflicting testimony" about Wyatt. He declined to comment any further because the investigation is ongoing.
"We want to give everybody a due process. We don't want to do a knee-jerk reaction. We don't want to get rid of a good leader and we don't want to keep a bad one," Southall said.
Wyatt's attorney, Kimya Holmes of the Capital Defense Project of Southern Louisiana, said the investigation was triggered after Wyatt questioned the board's use of school funds to pay the board's secretary. Wyatt has also been accused of defamation, Holmes said.
Holmes said Wyatt was reaching out to lawyer Juan LaFonta and other community leaders online for donations for school athletic supplies when LaFonta told Wyatt in a private Facebook message her solicitation was "unprofessional." LaFonta then blocked Wyatt on Facebook before he posted a public Facebook message telling people to not solicit him online, Holmes said.
2 Algiers charter schools will close in 2019 amid failing grades, low enrollment
Holmes said one of Wyatt's friends called out LaFonta and said "we're going to get this stuff done with or without" him. LaFonta became angry as people began to say he turned "his back" on Harney's children, so his lawyer sent Southall a cease-and-desist letter. Holmes stressed Wyatt never made any false statement about LaFonta.
The board's decision was made at the end of a three-hour emergency meeting in which nearly two hours was spent in executive session. Louisiana's Education Department permits charter boards to hold sessions to discuss the "professional competence" of an employee away from the public so as long as the boards obey state law and disclose the person is notified in writing at least 24 hours before the meeting.
At the end of the private meeting, more than 30 Harney employees and some parents filled the cafeteria as Southall explained that the board is discussing Wyatt's "personal competency." Several employees and parents voiced support for Wyatt.
Harney paraprofessional Denise Roche said Wyatt "truly cares" about the school's special-needs students. Third grade math/science teacher Aretha Lewis said Wyatt is the only principal at Harney to ever "put a child first." Harney physical education teacher Kachina Rouser lauded Wyatt for obtaining athletic equipment when the school lacked those resources.
"[Wyatt] is amazing and if y'all give her up, y'all are gonna lose," Harney administrative assistant Ashley Hampton said.
Not everyone voiced support for Wyatt, however. Harney technology teacher Quianne Phipps said Wyatt has done "some good things," but added Wyatt also talks down to staff in meetings and in front of students. Phipps called some of Wyatt's actions "very unprofessional," prompting a woman in the cafeteria to interrupt Phipps to say "that's not true." Harney attorney Kenya Rounds advised the resident to hold her comments until Phipps was finished.
Wyatt is the fifth principal at Harney in two years, and the Orleans Parish School Board has issued several warnings to the school over its spending practices, board composition and special education services. The school district is expected to discuss the future of Harney's charter renewal Monday evening.

Azzys Design Works Custom GaugesThanks guys. We offer them, but do not have them listed on the website anylonger, due to the many variations out there. AMC really did like to screw with the aftermarket.
1986 And 1988 - Oh $1500I'm the guy that TheDude has been chatting with about picking up the 88. If you are cool with us wrenching a bit on your dad's property, we would make sure they go to a good home.

Azzys Design Works Custom GaugesHello Comanche Club! Since my good friend "thedude" has been mentioning this place so much since a quest for an MJ began, i thought I would get a bit more active. Some of you have already ordered from me, and thank you again. I love Comanches (really want a 91 to play with) and make a gauge set that will fit many of them. check out my end of the year sale, I have a few MJ specific cluster sets ready to go. www.azzysdesignworks.com Here's the latest from an XJ customer, order to install was Thursday - Monday. (install probably took 20 min)
My First Mj Project!
Azzy replied to TheDude's topic in Member Projects: Your Comanchesthis was one heck of a tow back. We were on the road about 22 hours between the hotel, pickup and dropoff, with maybe 2 of those stopping for food and a break (beer). If you make a trip like this... prepare to replace your brakes after.
Oh, we are launching a new style this week for all of our MJ and XJs: I really need to change that first set, the one that is pictured above is in my XJ, and was the first set I did. The cut and form has improved since, with no crease line coming down the large faces. I have the templates, the printer, and the cnc cutter to make what you guys want. These are not made on paper, but a special plastic film that is designed to block out any rear light and be stable in many conditions.
Thanks for the recomendation! Ive got the pattern for the Renix era clusters, as well as any newer ones that were swapped in. Still working on the older style with the giant fuel gauge though, going to need a full cluster fo that one. You can see more of our work on the website or the facebook page: www.azzysdesignworks.com https://www.facebook.com/AzzysDesignWorks Any questions feel free to email or post here.

At just 17 years old, and competing and winning open wheeler races in Europe, Alex Peroni is one of the hottest rising stars in motorsport and Renault Australia are delighted to have signed on as a sponsor.
Of the partnership, Mr Justin Hocevar, Renault Australia Managing Director says "Alex can't even drive on public roads in his home town of Hobart, yet he has already posted his first pole position and won his first race in the Eurocup on the streets of Pau, France - a great achievement during his first year in the series. We are excited to support him this year and look forward to many more podiums and wins."
Racing on legendary tracks like Monaco, Silverstone, Monza and Nürburgring, Alex competes in the Formula Renault Eurocup, a feeder into Formula 1 that has seen the likes of Alain Prost, Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo through its ranks.
With a goal to get to Formula 1 by the age of 20, Alex's racing journey, like many others, started in go karting. Passionate about the sport, he began racing at the age of seven and by nine, was the youngest Australian to ever compete internationally. He is also the youngest Australian to ever compete in Europe in single-seater car racing, and for the past three years, has been competing in Formula 4 and Formula Renault 2.0.
Alex knows just how tough it is and the difference that sponsorship makes "Thank you to Justin and everyone at Renault Australia for your support. It is really appreciated. The field for this year's Eurocup is really competitive, with some of the highest rated young drivers competing. It's fantastic to know that other people believe in me and are prepared to support me in the series."

A Jordanian security official has stated that the Karamah crossing will be opened for the public on the third day of Eid, September 3, while staff will be deployed from August 30.
"We have conducted a trial run at the crossing with our Iraqi counterparts earlier this week at the al-Karamah crossing on August 20," the official said.
He also said that the decision was made to reopen the crossing, after a year-long closure, following clearing operations conducted by the Iraqi and Jordanian military forces against IS militants in the area.
Discussions to reopen the border crossing have been continuing over the past few months between Iraq and Jordan. The Karamah border crossing connects the Jordanian town of Ruwaished with the Iraqi town of Trebil.
The Iraqi ambassador to Jordan, Safia Al Souhail had previously stated that "the Iraqi Cabinet awarded a contract to a security firm to secure the road connecting Baghdad to Trebil."
According to Jordanian statistics, more than one million Iraqi and Jordanian passengers used to pass through the Trebil crossing every year, and the facility was extremely important to both countries as it was the only land border through which commodities are traded between Iraq and Jordan.'
