Looks like an awesome product I would definitely love to try. It is great that it is safe to use around the house. I am excited to try their scents. It would be perfect to light those candles to make my house smell lovely after I am done with my spring cleaning.
This sounds like such a fun, new line of products! I love all of the different colors!
Never heard of this product, but am sure it’s one I will get obsessed with.
! </s> Monologue: Graffiti
-Monologging Artist Dara Lorenzo Discusses the Theme of Graffiti in Her Art Work-. To read about Dara’s work and some of the San Francisco artists in her circle, please visit KQED Arts. </s> I've been reading Patnesto recently. It's an excellent overview of human explorers from prehistoric times to the current day, with the bulk naturally focused on the Iberian voyages of the 15th and 16th centuries, though I confess to a slight irritation at the author. (Fernandez-Arnesto believes that it was the poverty of Western Europe, especially Iberia, which caused the burst in exploration and colonisation - not technological advances - and that this is generally the rule around the world. Fair enough, but it leads him to be overly dismissive of other factors, such as personal bravery - Vasco da Gama for example is portrayed as a fool and an incompetent who could barely tell his arse from his elbow, which simply doesn't square with his achievements. There are also a heck of a lot of unsourced assertions throughout the book; whatever happened to popular history books with actual bibliographies?) You can also quibble about whether mass migrations such as the Polynesian colonisation of the Pacific, however impressive, really qualify as "exploration" in the same sense that Magellan's voyage did.
But anyway, I'm getting off on a tangent. Reading the book has given me an idea: Animal fantasy in the Age of Sail. Think of it. European animals (Rabbits and lynx from Spain and Portugal, Hares and foxes from the British Isles,
More thoughts on this tomorrow. By which I mean Animal Fantasy, not Star Trek slash fiction. Just to be clear.
Of course if that bothers you I'm sure there are plenty of other systems that could handle it as well. In fact I recently stumbled on a d20 book (I know you don't care for the d20 System, but I'm sure it'd be easily convertible) focused around presenting character options for Narnia-style sentient animals.
Just as last time this came up, I would direct you to Palladium's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Game and the Palladium medieval system with which it is compatible.
The TMNT game has a great "mutants down under" supplement (excellent illlustrations) full of Australian mutant animals plus you can (if you choose to dip your toe into such a murky ocean) use any of the Rifts worldbooks (africa, souh america japan, etc). And it's all Palladium, so it's all compatible.
The nice thing about the TMNT system is you start with a basic animal and spend points to selectively anthropomorphize it (full hands, partial hands, full bipedal, partial bipedal etc.).
First, however, I should address the main topic: furry-based RPGS.
Additionally, as if my point was not blunt enough, the chimera was addicted to a black, viscous fluid: without it, it would die.
Referencing your tangent, I would cite a brilliant study on world economic growth between antiquity and 1800 as an example that poverty could not have driven expansion, as everyone was poor and had always been poor. Otherwise expansion would have been greater throughout history than it was after 1800. But it was after 1800 that the race to explore the Earth in its entirety was ignited.
I miss Bunnies and Burrows.
I understand it's like Pendragon, but with mice...
Anon- I'm not sure that Watership down is necessarily a political book any more than Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a math book. They were somewhat informed by ideas related to those subjects, but at heart they are still just stories told by a man to young girls for their amusement.
I am always impressed by your insights and I would have to agree with you on this one.

Missouri General Assembly kills two rules on renewable energy sources

T had required power utilities to either generate energy from renewable sources in Missouri, or directly import it from elsewhere.
With the elimination of the two regulations, however, utilities instead can purchasemay never actually reach Missouri homes and businesses.
Although the legislature has acted, Gov. Jay Nixon still has veto power over the resolution throwing out the rules. A Nixon spokesman declinedo it, saying only he would review the matter when it reached his desk.
The state’s renewable energy standard was passed by voters in 2008, and requires1, and at least 15 percent by 2021.
Tenacted regulations last year clarifying the law and specifying what utilities must do to comply with it.
State Sen. Luann Ridgeway, the Smithville Republican who sponsored the resolution to throw out the rules, said a geographic sourcing requirement could not be found in the law approved by voters – even if it was Renew Missouri’s intent to include it. “The bottom line of it was, I think, that some people were trying to get by regulation what they failed to get through legislation,” she said.
Wilson disagreed, noting that requirements on geographic sourcing do exist in the law and eliminating them from the rules changes the impact of the renewable energy standard.

So then why has it been surprising to me to discover in the last year that religion also exists on a continuum? There are staunch atheists on one end, and those who know there is a god without ever faultering on n.
But, it wasn't just nothing. Somewhere between those classes and today, my world view has shifted and instead of considering myself agnostic, I am now open to the possibility that there is a god; maybe he does have a plan. A few years ago, I would have said 'religion is a crutch that people cling to in times of need.' Maybe it is. And what's so wrong with that? Here I sit, in my greatest time of need, staring loosing my Mom in the face and I have to say I'm clinging tightly to what little faith I have formed.
I've heard that during tough times even those of very strong faith can falter, even becoming angry at god. It honestly surprises me that even though I'm in the formative phase of my belief in god, it has not lessened. I could look at this situation with Mom as unfair (it is!) but instead, have somehow been able to feel lucky, even blessed, to have her yesterday, today and tomorrow. Just a few short months move the wedding up so she could be there, yet our wedding day came and went and she was able to have a blast. She even got out out on the dance floor.
When I pray, I don't focus on her to be cured...because I know there is a 5% chance of that. I thank god for this time I have now, ask for the strength to put on a brave face and enjoy it. I ask that she not suffer too much. I ask that she be there to see her first grandchild, and throw in the 'please cure her part' at the end. Maybe I'm too afraid to hope for that. Maybe my faith isn't strong enough yet. Maybe I just realize and accept it's not possible.


Association Between Periodontitis and Impaired Fasting Glucose and Diabetes
Hyperglycemia statuss and supporting alveolar bone (7). In addiic cells, leading to the establishment of a more pathogenic subgingival flora (8) and consequent periodontal damage. Based on this evidence, Löe (9) proposed that periodontal disease is another complication of diabetes. Periodontal infection can increase systemic inflammation in turn, which may induce a chronic state of insulin resistance, contributing to the cycle of hyperglycemia and advanced glycation end-product–protein binding accumulation. Therefore, it can amplify the classical pathway of n in diabetes (7).
Studies evaluatperiodontal disease among Japanese populations suggested that pIGT, but other studies found no association (10–12mpaired fasting glucose (IFG) and chronic periodontitis (13, IFG, and diabetes in a large group of U.S. adults.
In these analyses, weo were aged ≥20 years at the time of data collectioncomplex, stratified, multistage sample survey from 1988 to 1994 among≥2 months. A total of 33,994 individuals participated in the interview; of these, 31,311 underwent a comprehensive physical examination (14). Plasma glucose measurements were conducted for participants aged ≥20 years. We considered participants who had plasma glucose measurements and received a periodontal examination (n = 17,029). Participants were excluded if they were edentulous (n = 1,957), had missing data for plasma glucose level (n = 1,056) or clinical attachment loss (CAL) (n = 1,495), or if women were pregnant (n = 267), leaving 12,254 individuals as the final sample size.
Measurement of periodontal health
We calculated mean CAL and pocket depth for each individual and then grouped participants into quintiles of mean CAL and pocket depth. The lowest quintile was the reference. This categorization was used because there is no consensus on a single accepted method to define chronic periodontitis in epidemiological studies. Although various definitions to categorize CAL and pocket depth have been used (16), it does not impose an assumption of linearity during modeling, is easier to interpret, and it captures the range of variation of the variables.
The American Diabetes Association criteria (17) for plasma fasting glucose levels and interview data from NHANES III were used to categorize respondents into three groups (normal defined as glucose <100 mg/dL [5.6 mmol/L], IFG as glucose ≥100 but <126 mg/dl [7.0 mmol/L], and diabetes as glucose ≥126 mg/dL). Individuals self-reporting a diagnosis of diabetes by a doctor (“Has the doctor ever told you that you have diabetes?”) were also included in the diabetic group irrespective of plasma fasting glucose. These three groups made up the outcomes used in the statistical analyses.
The highest quintile of CAL had higher prevalence odds of IFG (OR 1.55 [95% CI 1.16–2.07], P for trend <0.01) and diabetes (4.77 [2.69–8.46], P for trend <0.01) after adjusting for age, sex, education, income, race, smoking, alcohol intake, missing teeth, dental visits, BMI, central adiposity, and physical activity (Table 2) compared with the lowest quintile. Likewise, comparing extreme quintiles, pocket depth was positively associated with IFG (1.23 [0.86–1.76], P for trend <0.01) and diabetes (1.63 [1.10–2.42], P for trend <0.01) after accounting for the same confounders as the regression models for CAL (Table 3).
Dose-response relationship between periodontal pocket depth and IFG and diabetes
The periodontal disease/IFG relationship is relatively understudied. Prospective (11) and cross-sectional (12) studies conducted in Japanese populations IGT. Nevertheless, some epidemiological studies (4,20) did not show any association between prediabetes and periodontitis risk. The study by Noack et al. (4) with negative results included 100 adults aged 40–70 years, of whom 27 had normal fasting glucose and 56 had IGT;  in IGT by periodontal status. Saito et al. (20) conducted their study among a larger sample (n = 584) of adult women, of whom 108 had IGT. However, in that study CAL and pocket depth were divided into two groups (high and low) and did not evaluate the full range of the data. Periodontitis was positively linked with IFG in a recent study (13) from Israel. Periodontitis presence was associated with increased A1C after 5 years of follow-up in a German population free of diabetes (empirical evidence of the relation between chronic periodontitis and IFG in the U.S. population. It is plausible that hyperglycemia resulting from IFG may raise the risk of periodontal disease but also that chronic systemic inflammation from periodontal disease may stimulate inflammatory cytokines (C-r-6)(22). Pthe U.S. population (6). Our findings imply that people with IFG may need to be evaluated for periodontal health. It is also possible that periodontal treatment may reduce the risk of IFG, and this effect may extend to diabetes. However, this needs to be verified in future studies.
Notwithstanding the significanceNHANES III ascertain whether periodontitis led to hyperglycemia or vice versa. Second, NHANES III used a partial mouth examination, so that approximately half the teeth existing in mouth were examined and was thus subject to random sampling error. Third, the categorization of CAL and pocket depth into quintiles might not correspond to meaningful clinical categories of periodontitis. Last, our study population only included individuals with one or more teeth so that th and diabetes cannot be generalized to edentulous persons even though they may have had a history of periodontal disease.
In conclusion, chronic periodontitis assessed by CAL and pocket depth is positively associated in a dose-response way with increased prevalence odds of IFG and  Additional epidemiologihis association further. P status.

have undergone food trials and been deemed nutritionally complete. Veterinarians have trusted this claim for years. Recently, we have started researching alternative diets to the dry and canned commercial diets. In doing this, we realized that the AAFCO food study trials are, in our opinion, very limited. The trial for adult dog and cat foods involve a minimum of 8 animals, of which, 25% can be removed if necessary and spans over the course of 6 months. This is too low a number of animals and again, in our opinion, not a long enough time to determine this will be a sufficient diet for an adult pet for its entire lifetime.
So what is the problem with commercial diets?
The problem is the amount of carbohydrates and high-heat processing. Dogs can process carbohydrates fine. The carbohydrates become an issue because of the quantity of carbohydrates in the dry foods. The lowest we have found is around 25% but many commercial dog foods have close to 50% carbs present! Cats really have no nutritional need for carbohydrates. Consider the fact that most cat foods have the same percentage of carbohydrates in them as dog food and it explains a lot why we have so many cats that are overweight.
But my dog does fine on the commercial diets!
The good news is nuthas shown that nutrition doesdisease. A disease gene can be turned on but it can be turned off too. We believe at this time that nutrition plays a vital role in what genes are turned on. If disease genes are turned on and a pet is on a suboptimal diet, then by changing the diet we could potentially get the genes to turn off. For more information on nutrigenomics visit: New Life Genetics.
Commercial diets with whole foods – this decreases the amount of commercial diets fed when whole foods are added. Our definition of whole foods is quality meats (chicken, beef, and fish) with no seasoning and lightly cooked along with ANY vegetables (no onions) either raw or cooked.

What most Americans tend to forget, is that the United States of America wasn’t set up to be a democracy—it was a republic. Democracy is the bully system of mob rule, allowing large groups of people to force their socially engineered opinions into the living habits of others. They can’t be bothered to do a little fact-checking, so you and your children will be forced to pay for it—maybe even with your lives. THAT is democracy, the same form of democracy we’re forcing down the throats of other people who didn’t vote for it via regime change that murders their leaders and drops love bombs on their cities. It’s for their own good, of course—democracy just loves to save free (and free-thinking) people from themselves.
The other important ingredient to change is exposure—continue to expose the corruption to your fellow man as often and succinctly as possible. This is a critical step, and those who have the most to lose from being exposed are already working overtime to make it more difficult. Attempts at instituting “net neutrality” are aimed at neutralizing exposure efforts and the war on whistle-blowers in conjunction with social media military psy-ops only confirm it.

I disagree strongly that current generations are more violent now than ever before, and this kind of situation proves it: underhanded provocation and outright deception wouldn’t be necessary otherwise.

@jimmy....yea, right. I want a leader that made anti-american videos while a POW. Don't think so. McCain is, and has always been, about himself first, country second.
This wonderful man, on the other hand, is someone who has put his country first by driving 600 miles to vote for the candidate of his choice.

Just returned from the 4 day Pacific Northwest Plein Air event in the beautiful area of the worlds best windsurfing destination, Hood River. Met many new friends and renewed friendships with others. The event is organized with recommended painting destinations, while I did a few of them, I mostly went off with a few others to explore different locations and subject matter. Part of me says I should have stuck with the program and the other part says "why not?" I came out of the event with 3, maybe 4 strong paintings out of 8, every one a delight to work on. Evenings I spent exploring the urban sights that continue to spark my interest. Read on...
Me with David Burbach during orientation at the Gorge White House.
This is my first painting (after a quick warmup) set behind the Gorge White House that is trimmed by railroad tracks and fruit warehouses. I deleted the train tracks for a better composition.

On the second day, I split from the group and joined up in the early morning with talented watercolor artist Mike Kowalski to paint the backside of the fruit warehouse just beyond the Gorge White House. I worked very hard on getting my angles right, if I ever did here.

In the afternoon I took a small break and then got in the car and drove 20 miles west to Cascade Locks to join up with artists Anton Pavlenko, Scott Gellatly and Kat Sowa. My work suffered from fatigue from the heat and wind so no painting to show here, but this is the scene in which I was most attracted to....and yes, that is an eagle's nest atop that tall tree!
Then onto the evening I ventured for a walk downtown to see the afterglow of the day on more urban subjects. This one shot could possibly be a studio piece when the winter months keep me indoors.
View of Sherman Street looking easterly in the evening.
Urban distractions...a nice composition and possible painting. Looks like Anana's needs a few extra fuses for her neon.
The next day the artists all headed up to Mosier Bluff, an area preserved from development with outstanding views of the Gorge and wildlife. I chose this road less traveled instead of the view of the gorge and cliffs. A stern Forest Ranger came out to shoo us all off the property because the heat from underneath our cars could catch the wild dry grass afire. That warning made me rather nervous... but I was able to plunk out one 12x9".

So then on down the steep drive to Mayer State Park for some respite from the sun and cool from the water. Temps topped 92.
Me with painters Michael Orwick, Kat Sowa, and Sergio Lopez.
Several artists came out to Mayer State park to cool off next to the water and protected by the trees for the afternoon location. That night we all gathered at the Taqueria for some grub and a drink, then off to a nocturne in the urban glow of the neon.
Painting this nocturn neon was the highlight (no pun intended) of my trip out to Hood River because I don't often get the opportunity to go out at such hours because of my young family. It's amazing how difficult yet a thrill at the same time it is to paint in the dark. The values rule in this arena, but colors work just as hard here. Didn't get this one in the show because I had no frame for it, so I am bummed I couldn't show it at the Gala this coming Friday night. A dark red underpainting set this one off in the right direction.

The next day I framed and turned in my work early and headed out towards the next destination atop a winery overlooking the entire gorge, but by the time I reached it nearly everyone was out to lunch and went their separate ways. From then on I took it easy because I was beginning to feel a bit ill from a possible exposure to gluten from something I must have ate. The temps were still hot that made for fatigue. I decided I'd leave for home early the next morning having completed 8 works with 4 in the show.
The view from the car of I-84 driving west with the oncoming cool rain clouds. Yes, that's Portland summer weather for ya!

I have been in the studio a bit on and off, and have finally pushed to finish the demo piece that I started at the American Art Co. back in June. My summer painting practices have been rather slow at best, and it frustrates me a bit because this is the best time of year to be out painting. (school starts in a couple of weeks, YEAH!) I guess I have been saving up for the big push of 5 full days of plein air painting in Hood River, OR. in the Pacific Northwest Plein Air Event. The adventure starts tomorrow, bright and early, and hopefully I can paint a couple of good ones to share for my next post. Yeah!

Rising Mist, 12x12" Pastel on sanded paper SOLD
Early in the morning, long before my family wakes, is the only time I've found this summer when I can get out and paint the color and atmosphere of the Great Northwest. Today I was out the door at 5:45 to pick up painting buddy and neighbor Michael Orwick. We headed out to our newfound and favorite place to paint called the Tualatin Wildlife Refuge in Sherwood, OR. that is only a 10 minute drive away. We like it so much that we have returned to it 4 times now. In the mornings there's always this low laying fog cover that breaks the sun's light into millions of prisms and creates a glow that is not captured on the lenz of a camera. These early mornings give me ample time to produce a stunning mess of color long before my children wake for the day, giving me much satisfaction for the rest of the day.
Here are some photos I took this morning, albeit not the "real" color our eyes can see.
Next week I will be participating in the Pacific Northwest Plein Air 2011 event held in Hood River for 5 days. Last year was my first time in this event and it was such a blast painting with some very talented artists and living the artist's life of non-stop painting and discussions about art. I can't wait to reconnect with old friends and meet some new ones too. The Gala opening is Friday Sept 2nd, so come on out if you can. And if you want to see the artists at work, here are the paint out destinations:
25 - 29 Thursday - Monday: Paint-Out & Write-Out Sunrise to Sunset 25 Thursday: The Gorge White House - orientation starts at 8:30am for both painters and writers Hood River Valley
26 Friday: Pebble Beach, Stevenson, Washington
http://www.portofskamania.org/StevensonLanding.htm 27 Saturday: Mosier Plateau - Friends of the Gorge Property, Mosier, Oregon
http://www.gorgefriends.org/article.php?list=type&type=57 28 Sunday: Gorge Crest Vineyards, Underwood, Washington
http://www.gorgecrest.com 29 Monday: Downtown and Marina, Hood River, Oregon
Also, this past week I received notice of my Signature membership with the Pastel Society of America. I had put off applying to the Society for a long time because they only worked with slide submission, but now they have gone digital and so it is. I guess that makes me a real pastelist or a real procrastinator? Whoopee!

Converted to B/W to see if my study was on track
Today I held a private lesson with my student and we were going over the study of values and their importance over color. It's a difficult thing to get right even for the more experienced artist and that is why I continue to work on them every so often. I find them really exciting, full of odd colors but as well as a playful way to break out of a creative block. The first image is what I created followed by the b/w conversion (to check for accuracy as well as the source photo.
I select 12 colors ranging from a scale of 1 to 9 on the value scale. I take the 12 colors and set them in groups of 3 each, giving me 4 overall value blocks for my composition. From there I start with my darkest darks and then gingerly add my lightest lights to establish my value range. The rest is just juggling and comparing the values back and forth with each area until it all comes together. Kitty Wallis teaches this in her workshops and it is one of my favorite studies to do. "Value does all the work and color gets all the glory."

Curbsides headed to New York, NY!
"Curbsides" 12x9" Pastel on sanded paper ©Brenda Boylan
I've taken on a sort of self imposed break from the studio these past few weeks, even though I've been working on a few demanding things that are not so visual. I received notice a few weeks back that my piece "Curbsides" was accepted into the PSA's 39th Annual Exhibition.
I'm thrilled to be considered for this prestigious show held at The National Arts Club close by the Gridiron district in New York City. Maybe a flight out would be appropriate? Hmmm. we'll see. So, I've been preparing my shipment that will be headed across the US as well as framing and delivering plein air artwork for another show coming up at the Caswell Gallery. A lot of busy work and no time at the easel...bleh! And to top it all off, the weather is wonderful and the kids are home begging to do something interesting! It's a balancing act I tell ya! I"m also preparing for my return trip to the Pacific Northwest Plein Air Event in Hood River later on this August. Just hoping to get out into the great weather for a taste of more plein air before long.
So, here is my accepted entry "Curbsides" that is headed to Manhattan that I painted earlier this year, posted HERE. Enjoy!

Is Construction out of favour with Government? asks CIOB Chief
T Government to recognise the major role that Construction will have in leading the UK out of recession and to provide the support required for the industry.
Speaking in Leeds on June 19th at the CIOB Members Forum, CIOB Chief Executive Chris Blythe raised concerns that the Government was favouring other industries over the built environment, which has traditionally and still remains the power house of the UK economy.
“We know that Government has pledged £3 billion to the aerospace industry which is laudable but at the same time we are seeing huge losses in the construction workforce with a fall of 65,000 construction personnel between September 2011 and September 2012. As an industry we need to be looking at new ways that we can work with the Government to build the foundations for competitiveness, investment and growth,” said Mr Blythe. “With the right kind of support for our industry I believe the UK economy could have grown up to three times faster in recent years.”
The event will be the first of its kind in the sector. It will be research-led rather than profit based, with profits ploughed back directly to the industry to stimulate growth, training and best practice. For more information see www.TalkConstruction.co.uk
Talk Construction is a conference and a series of technical seminars and one of the best opportunities to network with key construction professionals. It will take place on 25th and 26th NThe first conference of its kind in the sector to be research-led not profit-based, it will focus on issues identified as key topics by the event’s organisers –representsolin Felton at CFA Media on colin@cfa-group.com or 01622 754 295 / 07850 292 368


Regular readers of this blog may think that I have a low opinion of all the councillors in the Town Hall at Barnet. After all, we've generated over two million views of the blog by writing about them!
Perhaps the best councillor of all is Lib Dem Jack Cohen, from Childs Hill. You may think I'm biased, but this is pretty much a universally held view across all political persuasions in the Borough. Jack is intelligent, hard working and has an amazing eye for detail. During the period of Labour/Lib Dem administration he was Mayor of Barnet and has been an ever present in the Council chamber since the 1980's. Whenever my mobile phone rings and Jacks number comes up, I know that there will be a topic worthy of discussion. Often Jack starts with "I assume you know all about....


Kathryn Rollins is an artistic soul who creates music with emotional rawness and refreshing honesty. With the release of her debut EP, Reckless, a high profile television sync and signing to ABC Music, 2013 will be the year Kathryn solidifies her place on the Australian music landscape.
Kathryn's Reckless EP sees musician and fellow West Australian, Kav Temperley (Eskimo Joe, Basement Birds) step into the Producer's seat, with the creative duo spending many hours experimenting with different production styles and arrangements to find the right sound. The result is a debut EP that features four seductive tracks about vulnerability & desire, beautifully showcasing Kathryn's prolific songwriting skills and haunting vocals.
Licensed through ABC Music/Universal, Kathryn Rollins calls Dirt Diamond Productions home. After meeting in 2008, Kathryn was Kav's first personal signing to the label.
The Reckless EP is a mix of old and new. The songs span over four years of emotional growth for the Melbourne-based songstress, beginning at the age of 18 through to 21. Title track and second single 'Reckless' was penned by Kathryn when only 18 years old;
"For me it epitomises that period of your life as a teenage girl where you inevitably struggle with self-doubt, self-control and a lack of confidence. The character in the story is obsessed with someone and sure of her love for them, but is also aware of how damaging her actions can be when she's overwhelmed by emotion".
'Reckles's follows on from Kathryn's debut single 'Who Shot The Bird Down?' Released in late 2012, 'Who Shot The Bird Down?' draws the listener in through Kathryn's powerful yet delicate vocals, and has been described as " a voice that comes halfway from heaven and halfway from hell". The track will appear in the forthcoming Australian series, Wentworth - the highly anticipated reimaging of the well-known 1980's Australian television drama 'Prisoner', which will air on Channel 10 from May 2013.
To celebrate her debut release, Kathryn will be touring the EP this May at the following intimate venues:
EP TOUR DATES
May 3rd - Brighton Up Bar, Sydney
May 4th - Southside Tea Room, Brisbane
May 9th - Grace Darling Hotel, Melbourne

Forest Creek Homeowners Association started a regular newsletter years ago with several issues published before publication ceased. From early homeowner meetings at the home of Earl Humphrey, residents Sharon Irvin and Cathy Parsons volunteered to create a newsletter. The first issue of the Forest Creek Newsletter was created in July of 2000. Sereral Issues were published until pulication ceased in 2001. In August of 2002, Earl Humphrey and Sharon Irvin began re-publishing of the Newsletter with a different format from the original. Their efforts ceased with the October 2002 Edition. In November 2002, the Newsletter was published with a new Editor (Mike Chmielewski) and a new format and was the first Newsletter after the turnover of the Association to the residents. Starting in 2008, Mrs. BJ CarMichael published the Newsletter for a few issues. For a short time Fairway Property Management was the Newsletter Publisher. Beginning in late 2010, the Newsletter evolved into a e-Newsletter that is emailed to residents we have email addresses for every month.

She’s taken leaps of faith throughout her career. One of the most challenging, perhaps, was her first posting to the Middle East as an English Language Fellow. “It was terrifying,” she admits, but her eyes sparkle and she laughs as she says it, and barely takes a breath before she adds, “I loved the challenge.”
This empathy is in part why she’s so sensitive to helping her students navigate the daily activities and newness. She knows it’s not easy, and she’s been in a similar spot, but “You’re not going to know until you try.”
She was intrepid but also prepared and open. “I became an astute student of Turkish culture.” She felt it was important not to come with an agenda. “My goal was to learn and to do good. What mattered most to me was learning what was most important to them.”
The hospitality of the Turkish people made all the difference in helping her feel welcome, and she remembers that as something to help students in the U.S. “I’ve conducted informal exit interviews with participants in U.S. State Department programs and asked about the most meaningful part of their time in the U.S. Every single time, I was told, ‘I got to be a guest in an American home.’ Every time.”
The unique mission of the ESL teacher
One of the aspects of being an ESL teacher, Young explains, is that “professionally, you’re aware that you’re bringing your own culture to the educational process.” But she points out that’s not to be avoided; that’s the point of the experience. “The understand U.S. culture and language.” As teachers, “we are the gateways to American culture.” In that capacity, language teachers can have a tremendous impact. “In Turkey, every single day I was bridge building.”
One thing she comes back to is that there’s more to this program than the language classes and curricular goals. “I’m a student of the students, while the students are students of me.”
That realization helped her learn to forget about trying to make everybody like you, or to be afraid of awkwardness or honest discussions of beliefs and cultural differences. “What’s happening [in these interactions] is that just as you stumbled over their culture, they’re stumbling over yours. The question is how can we learn from each other and discard preconceptions?”
She reminds herself that, “I’m just one person from one culture, and everyone around the world has their way of living life, and it’s wonderful to be able to learn from them.”
Young has lots of ideas for the future of the W&M program, but is also eager to learn from the staff and faculty
Above all, she is committed to making learning interesting for the teachers as well as the students, from professional development to ensuring that they remain excited about the work and content. I want to ensure that the faculty “like waking up in the morning to go to their job.”
She’s excited that she will be able to do some teaching, too. “There’s something that happens in a classroom that’s magic,” Young says. “I like the story of the English language, and I like helping people achieve important life goals through their English learning.”


In the first step, the entire IT infrastructure was replaced within 30 working days during the move.

the taste and the texture of buns are best when lightly toasted. To toast a bun on a grill, grill pan, or grid Alternatively, you can place the split bun halves cut side up on a baking sheet and cook them under a preheated broiler until light golden brown, about 30 seconds. Keep a close eye on them and don't let them get too brown or else that texture will take on a life of its own and defeat the purpose of starting with a soft bun.
Chanterelle, also known as the Girolle, these mushrooms are funnel shaped and can be found growing among conifers and oak trees mid-summer to early winter. The scent is similar to an apricot and the taste is aromatic. Very popular in Europe, the chanterelle is paired well with eggs, poultry or seafood. They are similar to black trumpets, yellowfoot chanterelle and white chanterelle. Chanterelle comes from the Greek word kantharos meaning drinking vessel which comes from the modern Latin word cantharellus which means small goblet. </s> Not a partner? Join HERE!

With over 10 million UK viewers tuning in last year, BBC Wales' Hidden , which will again initially be aired on S4C under the name Craith, is now half way through filming its second series.
Mainly based around Blaenau Ffestiniog , series two which tackles issues of guilt and family relationships will continue to follow DCI Cadi John who's now had a promotion and DS Owen Vaughan, who's become a dad.
"It's now nine months on from the first series and our core police characters will be returning," she said.
"DCI Cadi John returns with DS Owen Vaughan, and as you would expect for a crime drama, there's a new crime to investigate.
"It probably won't come as a surprise that it's a murder. A body is found and Cadi's job is to get to the bottom of what happened.
"Similarly to the first series, it's more of a whodunit than a whydunit, so it's psychological and very dark."
Ms Thomas said: "While we're still filming on the Menai Strait - where Cadi still lives, series two is very much focused in Blaenau.
"We're really using the area, and it looks amazing on screen because you've got these huge slate sheets that dwarf everything and it's such a changeable place.
"There's something very specific about this place, the people are really unique, the place is really unique and it certainly does lend a certain tone and atmosphere to the series."
"Pretty much wherever you point your camera the backdrop is stunning and it's so changeable."
However, Ms Thomas said the ever changing weather has been 'challenging' for the cast.
"It can be very grey, but we just have to carry on filming regardless.
But despite the damp weather, series one received glowing reviews and became number one in the BBC iPlayer chart across the UK.
"We got really strong feedback from the first series," Ms Thomas added. "I think on the BBC iPlayer we had over 10 million hits, which is really exciting.
"It sold to more than 20 territories globally including North America, Scandinavian countries and mainland Europe.
"I really hoped it would capture people's imagination. It is a slow burn, and it is dark and it requires concentration but it seems to have attracted a huge audience.
"We're really hoping the second series will build on the success of the first series really." </s> Artist Statement Hannah Faye is an author and director from Chicago, Illinois.

The name "Washoe" or "Washo" (as preferred by themselves) is derived from the autonym Waashiw (wa·šiw or wá:šiw) in the Washo language or from Wašišiw (waší:šiw), the plural form of wašiw.rs.e (; Washo: dáʔaw / daʔaw / Da ow – "the lake"; or dewʔá:gaʔa /dawʔa:gaʔa / Da ow aga – "edge of the lake") and the West Walker River, Topaz Lake, and Sonora PassPine Nut Mountains and Virginia Range in the east.

 Pauwalu / Powalu ("Easterners" or "Central Washoe People")

Since ts, few people wintered there so very few were organized into the western group.
Washoe people are the only Great Basin tribe whose language is not Numic, so they are believed to have inhabited the region prior to neighboring tribes. The Kings Beach Complex that emerged about 500 CE around Lake Tahoe and the northern Sierra Nevada are regarded as early Washoe culture. The Martis complex may have overlapped with the Kings Beach culture, and Martis pit houses gave way to conical bark slab houses of historic Washoe culture.
Washoe people may have made contact with Spanish explorers in the early 19th century, but the Washoe did not sustain contact with people of European culture until the 1848 California Gold Rush. Washoe resistance to incursions on their lands proved futile, and the last armed conflict with the Washoes and non-Indians was the Potato War of 1857, when starving Washoes were killed for gathering potatoes from a European-American farm near Honey Lake in California.
Piñon pine nuts gathered in the fall provided much of the food eaten in the winter. Roots, seeds, berries and game provided much of the food eaten during the rest of the year. The Washoe people were also deeply knowledgeable about their land and where resources were plentiful. TWašiw people were also dependent on fishing at Lake Tahoe and the surrounding streams. Fishing was a huge part of Wašiw life; and each family had its own fishing grounds, until contact with Western civilization led to commercial fishing in the area, destroying another important resource for the Wašiw.
The Pine Nut Dance and girls' puberty rites remain very important ceremonies. The Wašiw people once relied on medicine men and their knowledge of medicinal plants and ceremonies. Much of this knowledge and activity has been lost due to contact with the Western world.
Washoe culture was based mostly on the legends that carried the explanation of different areas of life. The legends were handed over from one generation to another by storytelling and were told to younger generations to teach them basic things about Washoe's way of living. Children could get to know about gathering techniques, medicine preparation, and the legends were meant to teach them how to appreciate the land they were living in and give them a better understanding of Washoe's lifestyle. Children were raised in the environment which recognized family as the most valued thing. The whole Washoe life was concentrated on cooperation and unity, and older tribe members needed to convey their knowledge to the younger so the tribe culture would survive. Everyone in the family had his own role in everyday activities like fishing, gathering or hunting which helped Washoe people with doing everyday life tasks more efficiently.
 "Fishing year" – which came after the period of starvation, started in early spring as the snow in the mountains started to melt. At that time


The document Forfeiture and Reissue of Shares - Advanced Corporate Accounting B Com Notes | EduRev is a part of the B Com Course Advanced Corporate Accounting.
Reissue - Meaning and Issue Price of Shares
Shares are forfeited because only a part of the due amount of such shares is received and the balance remains unpaid. On forfeiture the membership of the original allottee is cancelled. He/she cannot be asked to make payment of the remaining amount. Such shares become the property of the company. Therefore company may sell these shares. Such sale of shares is called ‘reissue of shares’. Thus reissue of shares means issue of forfeited shares.
Once the Board of directors has forfeited the shares, the defaulting share holder is asked to return the share certificate which is cancelled thereafter. The board of directors passes a resolution allotting the forfeited shares to the new purchaser/purchasers of such shares.
In case of reissue of shares neither a prospectus is issued nor any offer is otherwise made to the general public. Though the amount of such shares may be called in more than one instalment but usually the entire amount is called in one instalment i.e. lumpsum.
The board of directors of the company while reissuing the shares decide the price of reissue. These shares can be reissued at par, at premium or at discount. Generally, these shares are reissued at a discount i.e. at a price which is less than its nominal value. The amount of discount allowed at the time of reissue in no case should be more than the amount forfeited on such shares.
Question arises at what price the forfeited shares can be reissued? There is no limit of the price at which it can be reissued if price charged is more than the price of issue at the time of their forfeiture. But then there is a limit below which price cannot be charged or we can say that there is a minimum price below which the company cannot reissue its forfeited shares. We can look at it from another angle i.e. the company cannot give discount more than a particular amount while reissuing the forfeited shares.
(i) Shares originally issued at par : When the shares are originally issued at par, the maximum permissible discount for reissue of shares is equal to the amount forfeited on such shares
(ii) Shares originally issued at premium : In case of shares originally issued at premium, there can be two situations : (a) premium has not been received on the forfeited shares, and (b) premium has been received on such shares. The amount forfeited is the amount that has been received including the amount of premium if it has been received and the maximum discount that can be allowed on reissue of such shares is the amount so forfeited.
(iii) Shares originally issued at discount : In this case the actual amount received becomes the forfeited amount. But the maximum permissible discount on reissue of shares will be equal to the amount forfeited plus the amount of discount initially allowed on these shares at the time of their original issue.

Reissue of forfeited shares at a discount : When the shares forfeited are reissued at discount, Bank account is debited by the amount received and Share capital account is credited by the paid up amount. The amount of discount allowed is debited to Share Forfeited Account. This is for adjusting the amount of discount so allowed from the amount forfeited at the time of forfeiture.
As stated earlier the amount of discount allowed on reissue of shares at the most can be equal to the forfeited amount on such shares. In that case the share forfeited account after reissue will show a zero balance. But in case, this amount of discount is less than the amount forfeited, the remaining forfeited amount will be profit for the company. This profit is a capital gain to the company and is transferred to Capital Reserve account. Journal entry of the same will be as follows :
(Transfer of surplus share forfeited amount to capital reserve A/c) If all the forfeited shares are reissued, the Share Forfeited A/c will show a zero balance because whole of the amount of this account after adjusting the amount of discount allowed on reissue will be transferred to capital reserve account. But in case, only a part of the forfeited shares are reissued and others remain cancelled, the amount forfeited on forfeited shares not reissued will remain in the Shares Forfeited Account. For adjustment of forfeited amount on share reissued will be calculated as :
Accounting Treatment of Reissue of forfeited shares
There can be four situations of reissue of forfeited shares. These are:
Accounting treatment in each of the above cases is discussed hereafter :
In this case the maximum discount that can be given on reissue of forfeited shares is the amount that has been received on these shares and is debited to share forfeited account.
X company Ltd. forfeited 200 shares of Rs 10 each, fully called up on which Rs. 7 have been received and final call of Rs. 3 per share remains unpaid. These shares were later on reissued for Rs. 8 per share fully paid up. Make journal entry for recording the forfeiture and reissue of shares
2. Reissue of forfeited shares at premium and at par, originally issued at par
In this case the whole of the amount that has been credited to Shares Forfeited A/c is transferred to Capital Reserve A/c on the reissue of such shares.
In the above two illustrated cases, total amount forfeited on shares reissued is transferred to capital reserve because no discount has been given on reissue of these shares. Therefore, the whole of the amount forfeited is a gain for the company.
3. Reissue of forfeited shares at par, at discount and at premium, originally issued at premium :
If such shares are reissued at premium the premium received should be credited to Securities Premium A/c. Journal entry will be
If such shares are reissued at par the amount that has been received and has been credited to share forfeited A/c will be credited to capital reserve A/c
If such shares are reissued at discount, the amount of discount allowed will be adjusted towards the amount credited to share forfeited A/c the balance amount of Share Forfeited A/c will be transferred to Capital Reserve A/c
AZ Ltd. forfeited 200 shares of Rs 10 each originally issued at a premium of Rs 4 per share, the holder of which paid Rs 3 per share on application but did not pay the allotment money of Rs 7 per share (including premium) and call of Rs. 4 per share. Make necessary journal entries for the forfeiture and for reissue of these shares if :
(Balance amout of Share Forfeited A/c transferred to Capital Reserve). As the forfeited shares have been issued at a premium so no amount of discount is there to be adjusted from the forfeited amount hence the total forfeited amount of Rs 600 is transferred to capital Reserve A/c as capital gain of the company.
4. Reissue of forfeited shares at par, premium and discount, originally issued at discount
When the forfeited shares originally issued at discount are reissued, the discount allowed at the time of original issue of such shares which was written back at the time of their forfeiture is again allowed. Thus on forfeiture shares Discount A/c is credited by the amount of discount allowed at the time of issue because its effect is to be cancelled out when shares were forfeited. When the same shares are reissued, discount on issue of shares A/c is again debited by the original amount of discount.
India infrastructure Ltd. has issued its shares of Rs. 20 each at a discount of Rs 2 per share. Mahima holding 100 shares did not pay final call of Rs 5 per share. Her shares were forfeited. Later on the company reissued 100 shares of these forfeited shares at (I) Rs. 15 per share (II) Rs. 20 per share, and (III) Rs. 25 per share
Make journal entries for the forfeiture and reissue of the shares in the books of company.
Sometimes all the forfeited shares are not reissued but a part of them are reissued. The accounting treatment is explained by the following illuatration.
A company forfeited 400 shares of Rs 50 each on which only application money of Rs 10 per share and Rs 20 on allotment were received. Final call of the Rs 20 per share is not received. 300 of these shares are reissued at Rs 40 per share. Make journal entries for forfeiture and Reissue of shares.

"If your baby wakes and moans, has a sweaty back or sweaty, wet clothes, it is a sign that your baby may be overheating. If your baby moves all around the cot, never lies still, often rolls onto her tummy, catnaps during the day, or wakes from 4 AM or 5 AM, it is a sign that your baby may be too cold in bed."
"T – th These sounds don't necessarily mean "Come and get me, I need you!" so when you hear them, try to resist jumping to pick your baby up."
"There are several foods that can contribute to a fussy baby's already restless nature. Caffeine bothers some babies a great deal and some very little. It does pass through the milk of a breastfeeding mother and may disturb the sleep and behavior of the baby, but there is marked variability in how babies react to caffeine in mother's milk."
"If your baby is restless during sleep or wakes up frequently, try encouraging him How do you know which direction to go in?I often tell the parents I work with, hey, whatever works for you, chances are, it will work for your baby. So if you like to sleep on your right side, chances are, your baby will too."
"Do you frequently?Once he's overtired, he not only won't stay asleep longer, he'll have a restless sleep and perhaps even wake prematurely."

"Mark Carney has stressed that the decision on when to start interest rates is not pre-set and will be data driven. Furthermore, below-target consumer price inflation and sterling's strength gives the Bank of England leeway on when to act."
Economists at Barclays said the City now places a 75 per cent probability of a rate hike in December, but added: "The general tone of the minutes suggests that while the committee is now viewing economic growth as being more broad-based and sustainable, a rate hike is not yet immediately warranted."
