Often when we participate in local events, children and adults alike are surprised at seeing our children spinning away on a wheel. Children have commented, 'She can't do that!' or 'Kids can do it too?' or 'But she's a little kid!'; while the parents point and say - 'Look at him, he's making string - or is it yarn?' and 'Wow, look at what she's doing!'.
We had our first booth at the Lattin's Country Cider Mill, nestled between the beautiful forests of Rainier and Olympia, Washington. A sweet gal we'd met at the Shepherd's Extravaganza thought it would be a fun vending opportunity and they were happy to have us. We had been there for a short visit years ago but the children were a bit too young to remember it.
The weather predicted was rain - surprise! - so we prayed for the Lord's work. We were anticipating a great time, enjoying a 'mini-vacation' to a unique destination (substantially more feasible when you have animals to care for), meeting new people, sharing our products and perhaps paying for our 'vacation'! How many other families get to do that?!
Dad learned the night before he wouldn't be able to be there to help us set up or participate in anything except possibly take down. This threw a wrench in our plans but we knew we could meet the challenge.
The children really pitch in well together for events and it was the same with this one - except that we needed 'mini-Dad's' to do some extra, and they sure did!
We missed a few key steps - left with only one table and the table cover quilts that were thought to be loaded, but the folks at Lattin's were kind enough to share an extra table and we used our extra front drape sheet as the entire table cover - it made a bold statement, as you see in the first photo.
There are quite a few local people that make Lattin's their common stopping point for delicious apple fritters and award winning apple cider. Including the Fed Ex and UPS drivers that stopped in and left quickly with their full white bakery bags. They aren't wrong. I've never had the joy of reliving my Great Grandma's home made donuts until I tried the apple cake donuts here. Oh, the sweet memories!!
I really should have taken some pictures, but to be honest, they disappeared quite quickly and we were so busy savoring every morsel, we just didn't think about it! Oh, and the warm apple cider kept us from the bit of chill making it's way through, but praise the Lord, no rain!
Lattin's also has a number of cute critters that share the farm and they even offer a little walk through petting zoo for just $2 per person. Ducklings, chicks and baby goats were just a few available to snuggle. There are pigs and sheep and goats that you can feed and watch gallivant around...and there were at least two families taking advantage of their birthday party packages that include free use of the giant tricycles - FUN!
All in all, Lattin's Country Cider Mill was a beautiful stop for us. Although many of the visitors of the day seemed to have one track minds - FRITTERS! - we were able to bring a few smiles as they stopped to watch us spin or picked up a few of Lil Miss's cards or Mini Farmer's soaps.
Did our vending booth pay for our trip? No. But we had a great little adventure that got us out to support a struggling local business; we met some fine folks and learned a bit better to make those lists and check them several times BEFORE we leave!
We may have an opportunity to visit again during their Famous Cider Days at the start of apple picking season in September. If you're looking for a fun place to stop or a fantastic bakery to visit, you won't be disappointed with Lattin's.
As we drove home through the winding roads, flanked by beautiful green tall firs, we thanked the Lord for our beautiful day, savored the richness of his glorious creation and smiled at the rains we finally met after a day of outdoor fun.


Over the last 25 years, there has been significant growth in the use of internet search engines. How many of us these days actually refer to a book to find anything out? On the whole, we pick up our phone, tablet or laptop and google the internet. In a similar vein, online legal research tools have been around for as long I can remember.
LexisNexis was the front-runner during my university days and offers online legal research. The group now owns the world's largest electronic database for legal/business information and public records, risk management, market intelligence and business insight tools. Access is via paid subscription and it's won several best business information solution awards.
The company is currently embarking an aggressive growth strategy and recently reported its intention to further increase its content and technology solutions offering by acquiring Jordan Publishing, a leading UK legal publisher, this year.
Thomson Reuters has several online sites which offer integrated legal solutions. With a $3.4bn revenue for its global online legal services, and shares are listed on the Toronto and New York Stock Exchanges, it's one of the market leaders for online research. Its UK online legal research tools target every level and cater for professionals, business owners and researchers alike. All of its services are subscription-based and there are several packages aimed at business owners.
Practical Law delivers hands-on legal know-how and Westlaw UK provides legal research and authoritative commentary. Lawtel offers online precedents and covers legislation, cases and judgments, articles and media coverage. The main attraction of Lawtel is its' same day coverage of cases and legal news in a straightforward and easy to use format.
On the plus side, the cost of using these online legal research tools should be less than employing a team of legal advisors to physically search out possible legal solutions. Equally your legal advisors will probably access these online legal research tools themselves when researching on your behalf.
However it's worth remembering that with all online legal research tools, the devil is in the detail. As with all internet search results, it is the interpretation of your research which is key.
Lawyers have the technical knowledge and expertise to place your legal research in a specific context. They have first-hand experience of how to practically apply research into a commercial environment. They have stood in your shoes: they understand the nuances and possible range of consequences in taking a certain course of action.
Businesses should also think about some of the free online resources out there.
Twitter offers bite size chunks of advice and inspiration from key business influencers.
Online blogs are a practical (and free!) way to keep up to date with breaking legal news and business law issues. Law firms and legal procurement and comparison services – like ours – publish articles and blogs with legal insight, upcoming legislation and useful commentary.
Online tools can be a great way to optimise legal research for your business. But be cautious. A failure to weigh up the risks may increase your legal costs in the long run.

The LinearPhase PEQ Red does not shift the phase, it just boosts or cuts the amplitude in a given frequency range. Now you can apply much more boost without changing the sound character of your recording. Due to proprietary low-noise design in the frequency domain the distortions (THD+N) are extremely low ensuring crystal clear sound quality.
The LinearPhase PEQ DirectX PlugIn is unique in the world of audio components. Almost all parametric equalizers being used are implemented with filters that accomplish phase shift, e.g.: the original signal is remixed with its phase-shifted version. Because the amount of the phase shift is frequency dependent some cancellation or amplification at certain desired frequencies takes place. It works, but with a major disadvantage--the different signal components are spread all over time, so that the time relationship between harmonics in the processed signal is heavily affected. The result is that a nice sharp bass drum becomes slurred and muddy, and vocal tracks become strident or brittle. Algorithmix® is proud to offer you a true remedy against difficult equalizing tasks--the LinearPhase PEQ PlugIn, a linear-phase equalizer which can be handled exactly like its classic predecessors, but cannot be "heard".
The LinearPhase PEQ better preserves the time relationships of harmonics in the original waveform. This translates to smoother top end, sweeter and bigger midrange, and a clearer more distinct bottom end as compared with phase-shift EQ. The resultant sound seems less processed, more like it occurred naturally in the air in front of the microphone. The mixes become clear and transparent, the instruments more defined and "realistic".
The LinearPhase PEQ Red works in the frequency domain. It sounds softer than LinearPhase PEQ Orange and has absolutely unique Low-Cut / High-Cut filters with continuously adjustable slopes: +3 to -24 dB/oct.

What do you do when your car needs a battery change, and your mechanic is miles away? What if your car is stopped at the middle of the road only to realize that your battery is dead. Do you panic and sit there stranded? I'd say get to work and fix it.
The only thing you should be worried about is whether you have the right tools with you. The rest of it will fall in place once you start working on that car. Once you have all of that, other things you need is the zeal and determination to fix that battery.
Replacing a car battery is a messy job. You don't want to stain your best clothes with grease and dirt from the car. Put on an apron or clothes that you wouldn't mind soiling.
The battery also contains a sulphuric acid electrolyte solution that could be harmful to your skin. Arm yourself with the protective glasses and safety gloves. Also, make sure the working area is away from flammable objects and not on the road as well.
In some cars, the battery will not be in plain sight like the hand brake. If yours is this type, you can check under the rear seat, inside the fender of the wheel or in the trunk under the mat. The point here is to find the battery first.
The ease of removal mainly depends on where your car's battery is located. The more hidden it is, the harder it will be to remove. Good thing is that even with a hidden cell, the removing procedure won't change.
Battery terminals will have negative and positive signs printed or stamped on either side of the battery. Make sure you identify them on the car battery you want to replace. Use the wrench to disconnect the negative cable clamp first and do the same to the positive terminal.
This is the point where you need to be extra careful not to have the whole neighborhood blazing. Don't let the wrench touch both terminals at the same time. You should also check whether there are any metal objects near the battery posts. Extra caution is needed to make the process a success.
For you to remove the battery from the car, you have to make sure that everything that was holding the battery to the car has been unfastened. After completing this step, you should put those parts in a safe place for easy access when placing them back. That includes any screws, bars or clamps.
Lift the battery from the car and put it away. The battery is usually substantial. You could ask for help if you cannot comfortably lift it from the car. It is also advisable to use a battery carrying strap but only when the posts are at the top part of the battery.
The used battery should not be disposed of like regular garbage. Take it to a supply store or the garage where you service your car.
There could be corrosion or dust where the old battery sat. Use the cleaning tools you have to brush that corrosion before you insert the new battery. Use a wire brush or a terminal cleaning tool if you have it. The connection is better when the battery is clean.
You can also use sandpaper to clean the terminals and leave them all shiny and free of corrosion. All this while your gloves are still on your hands. Safety is paramount when handling corrosive things.
After the battery tray and the clamps have dried up, you can now place the new battery. Make sure you put it correctly where the positive and negative terminals are not mixed up.
When replacing the new one, you should always start connecting the positive terminal first. The battery posts could be secured with plastic caps. Remove them before joining the terminals.
Once the terminals are moderately tightened, you can place back all the screws and bars that you removed. The clamps should also be tightened well to hold the new battery in place.
As a preventive measure, it is essential to apply lithium grease to the battery terminals. This makes the battery safe from future corrosion.
However, do not go overboard with the grease. Just apply enough to serve its purpose. All you need to do is make sure the entire surface of the terminal is covered. You can improvise with jelly as well.
Once the work is correctly done, you can close the hood of the car and get ready to test it. Start the car and confirm that everything is working correctly. With that done, give yourself a round of applause for a job well done.
You see, replacing a car battery is not rocket science. All you need is this guide and your least favorite outfit. The next time the battery pulls a bad one on you, just park it on a flat surface away from traffic and get down to work. In about 30 minutes you'll be all set.
Don't be one of those people who doesn't want to learn how to do things on their own. Doing some of these things for yourself is quite fulfilling. The first time could be challenging, but then after that, it will be super easy.
By now you should be able to replace a battery without any help. If you follow this guide to the letter, you won't be paying for auto mechanic services any time soon. Save that dollar for a more challenging task.

Oliphant Clan History
The Oliphants appear firstly as a family in Normandy, where Osbert Oliphant held sway in 1045 and who are currently known to have first held lands in England at Lilford, Northamptonshire although may have done so earlier in Hereford and Wessex. In 1090, Roger is the first Olifard for whom there is contemporary evidence of the surname being used.
David de Olifard is commonly held to be the progenitor of House of Oliphant. During the 1141 Battle of Winchester David de Olifard saved the life of his godfather, David I of Scotland receiving in return grants of land at Crailing and Smailholm in Scotland and so becoming the first Chief and first of four successive hereditary Justiciars of the Lothians.) Malcolm IV also created the Great Barony of Bothwell for David or his son.
Sir Walter, the 2nd Chief, married Christian, the daughter of Ferteth, the Earl of Strathearn in 1173, by 1183 had gained the lands of Aberdalgie in Strathearn.
In 1296 the 10th Chief, Sir William, was captured at the Battle of Dunbar and taken as a prisoner. As a result, he is one of very few Scots who did not sign the Ragman Roll (of Scottish nobles submitting to Edward I of England). He soon took up the cause of Scottish Independence, in 1304 defended Stirling Castle against Edward. Sir William was captured and sent to the Tower of London. However, he was later released and he or his cousin of the same name was awarded lands of Balcraig, Auchtertyre, Turin, Newtyle, Gask and Gallery as compensation in 1317. Nine years before his death in 1329, Sir William was a signatory to the Declaration of Arbroath which asserted Scotland's freedom to Pope John XXII.
Sir William's nephew's son, Sir Walter married The Bruce's youngest daughter, Elizabeth. Together they received the Barony of Kellie in 1360.
Laurence Oliphant, the 15th Chief, was a Lord of Parliament in the July of 1455, although there are earlier refences to his grandfather as Lord Oliphant. In 1491 he was an ambassador to France and he subsequently became keeper of Edinburgh Castle.
The fourth Lord Oliphant was a staunch supporter of Mary, Queen of Scots and a member of the inquiry which acquitted the Earl of Bothwell of the murder of Lord Darnley, Queen Mary's second husband. The fourth Lord attended the queen's wedding and fought for her at the Battle of Langside in 1568.
The Oliphants remained devoted to the Jacobite cause and the ninth Lord Oliphant was imprisoned for his part at Killiecrankie in 1689. During the rising of 1715 he was accompanied by Oliphant of Bachilton, Oliphant of Condie and Oliphant of Carpow, as well as the ninth Lord's his cousin, Laurence Oliphant of Gask, who was also to play an active role in the campaign of Charles Edward Stewart in 1745. After the defeat at Culloden both Gask Oliphants were exiled in France.
The daughter of Laurence the Younger was the songstress Carolina, later called Lady Nairne.
Laurence the Elder's sister married their cousin. This was Laurence Oliphant of 5th of Condie. His son (Laurence Oliphant, 6th of Condie) worked with Gask's brother, James, to raise funds for the campaign of 1745. The 6th laird of Condie built up large estates in Perthshire although, after his death, these were later spread amongst those appointed guardians of his son.
The current Oliphant Chief is descended from this Condie branch of Oliphants, in the male line. This branch were noteworthy in the 19th and 20th centuries, producing an Ambassador, a Chairman of the Hon. E. India Company, two Generals, an Admiral, a Chief Justice of Ceylon as well as two MPs and a president of the Madrigal Society who wrote words for the chorale of marriage of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra.
Although there have been many, another branch, the Oliphants of Rossie produced a Postmaster General of Scotland and Betty, founder of the Canadian National Ballet School.
The Oliphants had numerous castles, houses and places of Clan interest all over Scotland, with the fourth Lord holding lands in 7 counties including Broxburn and Muirhouse near Edinburgh, a quarter of Caithness, Kellie in Fife and various grants around Perthshire.
There is a wealth of Clan memorabilia held by an Oliphant Chieftain at Ardblair Castle, a Blair seat near Blairgowie in Perthshire in addition to that held in the Chiefly line.

Q: When should std::atomic_compare_exchange_strong be used? There are two atomic CAS operations in C++11: atomic_compare_exchange_weak and atomic_compare_exchange_strong.
According to cppreference:

The weak forms of the functions are allowed to fail spuriously, that
is, act as if *obj != *expected even if they are equal. When a
compare-and-exchange is in a loop, the weak version will yield better
performance on some platforms. When a weak compare-and-exchange would
require a loop and a strong one would not, the strong one is
preferable.

The following is an example for using the weak version, I think:
do {
    expected = current.value();
    desired = f(expected);
} while (!current.atomic_compare_exchange_weak(expected, desired));

Could someone give an example where the compare-and-exchange is not in a loop so that the strong version is preferable?

A: The atomic_compare_exchange_XXX functions update their "expected" argument with the observed value, so your loop is the same as:
expected = current;
do {
    desired = f(expected);
} while (!current.atomic_compare_exchange_weak(expected, desired));

If the desired value is independent of the expected value, this loop becomes:
desired = ...;
expected = current;
while (current.atomic_compare_exchange_weak(expected, desired))
  ;

Let's add some semantics. Let's say that several threads are running this simultaneously. In each case desired is a non-zero ID for the current thread, and current is used to provide mutual exclusion to ensure that some thread performs a cleanup task. We don't really care which one, but we want to be sure that some thread gets access (and maybe other threads can observe the winner by reading it's ID from current).
We can achieve the desired semantics with:
expected = 0;
if (current.atomic_compare_exchange_strong(expected, this_thread)) {
  // I'm the winner
  do_some_cleanup_thing();
  current = 0;
} else {
  std::cout << expected << " is the winner\n";
}

This is a case where atomic_compare_exchange_weak would require a loop to accomplish the same effect as atomic_compare_exchange_strong, since spurious failures are possible:
expected = 0;
while(!current.atomic_compare_exchange_weak(expected, this_thread)
       && expected == 0))
  ;
if (expected == this_thread) {
  do_some_cleanup_thing();
  current = 0;
} else {
  std::cout << expected << " is the winner\n";
}

The standard suggests that implementations may provide more efficient code in this case for atomic_compare_exchange_strong than looping with ..._weak (atomics.types.operations/25).

Labour's New Army of Bullies.
Does not this black and white picture resonate with last week?
The disturbing pictures of Mr Ian Tomlinson being man-handled by police are covered everywhere. Lead story for Al jeBeeB, The Guardian and so on. Normally I would be apoplectic with rage. Today I feel abject sadness and horror. I wrote of Labour's spin factory. I forgot to show a vat of spin for how wonderful the G20 policing was. In every walk of life this dreadful Government has reached it's tentacles. More obsessed with control and power than any care for the good of the people. Headteachers appointed to earn huge salaries providing they toe the line on policy. The same for social services, hospital managers and chief constables. Council Chiefs and executives all either placemen or under fear of redundancy and loss of pension, if failing to please Whitehall and Downing Street. Just remember the mendacious, bullying nastiness of Alistair Campbell presiding over security briefings because Blair was in love with him. An Attorney General appointed because he was Blair's flat mate. An MP "appointed" by Brown in Glenrothes because he was a previous headmaster of Brown's. So few brilliant people with great expertise overlooked because they were not "on board" The Labour juggernaut of despotism and control. Mr Tomlinson's tragic death is a stark reminder of how Hitler began.
The only question to be answered is where this beginning will end? Platitudes from Brown and Labour cannot hide the way we are now governed. Incompetence, sleaze, greed and mendacious arrogance. Gordon Brown, you are a disgrace.
Getting there?
Goodnight Vienna 8 April 2009 at 11:49
Yes OR, and it makes very uncomfortable viewing. When I first saw the video of police breaking up the Bishopsgate climate camp (I've posted it on my blog)it brought to mind flashes from history and made me very uneasy.
Not just uncomfortable viewing GV, it's nearly unbearable for me. Who would have thought that in the last 60 years Britain would have become reduced to this. Certainly not me and that's why it's unbearable.
I'm from Yorkshire SR, we're known for our understatement and sardonic asides.
Oldrightie 8 April 2009 at 16:10
GV, some Yorkshire grit very much required in these times.
I have a son-in-law who is a policeman. I wouldn't piss on him if he were on fire.
Totally brain-washed, totally PC. An utter, utter hoon of the highest order. He would - and he has said so - nick his own mother, just like a nazi.
My heart goes out to the family of Mr. Tomlinson, and may he rest in peace.
Other words fail me, I'm afraid.
killemallletgodsortemout..........
It's like so much of public service under Labour. The scum rises to the top, the cream goes sour.
Mike Cunningham 8 April 2009 at 20:36
Back in the 'good old days', when Ceausescu reigned over the Socialist Republic of Romania) I was in a Black Seaport unloading cargo off a British ship.
The whole port was of course barriered off, just in case anyone tried to escape the workers paradise, and those allowed in to fish off the sea wall were searched on the way out, so that they had to declare the numbers of fish caught. The rule was anyone could walk through with two fish, but if any more had been caught, they had to be offered to the gate guards.
One unfortunate had indeed caught five fish, but only declared four, hiding the fifth behind his coat; but the wait through the queue was long, and the slime dripped down the back of his thin coat, and betrayed him.
He was slung out of the queue, beaten to his knees, and kicked unconscious.
We, the officers off the ship, called an ambulance as he lay, completely ignored by everyone else, and arranged that he be taken to what passed for a hospital.
We never found out what became of him!
It may be said that that was a long time ago, but the same ethos applies; once the velvet glove comes off, the bullies are given full rein, and the club and the truncheon rule!
I would have thought that the Nu Met Police would have learnt from their attempts to spin the Menezes shooting but clearly not. This shower of s**t just can't help themselves.
Sue 8 April 2009 at 21:22
It's becoming quite surreal. I can't believe we seem to be actually devolving socially rather than evolving to a more civilised age.
Unfortunately, that's what socialism brings, it's as ancient as Islam and as backward. It takes away personal freedom and gives it to the state.
Thank you all for great input. I still cling to the hope bloggers really will make a difference.

"subrosa said...
Who would have thought that in the last 60 years Britain would have become reduced to this. "
Only anyone around at any significant protest or anti-fascist march of the last forty years. Fifty years, eighty years.. it depends how far back you want to go. Churchill sending in the troops against striking miners? Thatcher politicising trhe police to eradicate collective rights? Anyone from Yorkshire who was around in 1984?

Down with that sort of thing.

Urban Appeal and Nostalgic Vibes ~ The B. James Experience
Celebrity Style, Events, FASHION, Fashion News, Fashion Shows
How is it possible for a designer to be fearless and vulnerable at once? It's talent, determination and making strong choices. It's an elusive combination that Brandon James has accomplished. I was honored to experience the 'B. James Experience' — an urban, on point and fresh runway fashion show at The Think Tank Gallery in downtown Los Angeles. Brandon James debuted 40 different looks from his line that featured designs such as a Shell Toe Adidas dress and leather jackets with pops of color. Brandon presented an impressive show that delivered a 90's hip hop, street style vibe. It resembled references to his past but brought the audience to the future.

The show represented a fresh and playful energy. Brandon (also known as B. James) is young and talented with a fun spirit. He is smart to tap into the right generation (young and fierce) at the perfect time in fashion. Joy Rich Bullard of The Style Barre Showroom assisted in hosting and producing the event and represents Brandon James. Photographer Yoshawn Smith took all images and captured the evening perfectly.
For a bit of backstory, Brandon's surroundings had a great impact on his creativity. He grew up with sickle cell anemia and wasn't able to do all of the normal activities like his siblings. Brandon explained that most of his time was spent on his grandmother's porch playing on a tire swing that his granny made. However, this sparked inspiration as he watched traffic, nice cars, and well dressed, flashy people return from work. He was intrigued by individuals who looked as if they were millionaires by the way they were dressed.
Photo: Yoshawn Smith
For his recent show, I was astounded that he produced 40 looks. Brandon explained his concept was inspired by both a strong vision and a collaborative creative process that grew from within. "I watched a lot of the high-end fashion shows… Dior, Gucci, Fendi, Philip Plein, Jeremy Scott and figured why not do the same" James said. He did just that. He made 40 his goal and stuck to it.
There is also a bit of nostalgia that is incorporated into Brandon's collection. I love this since I notice that most great designers take memorable moments from their childhood, icons they admired and incorporate these elements into their collections while still keeping their astute eye on the future. "The collection meant so much to me because it described my journey from a kid sitting on the porch of growing up and being able to take those memories and add them to what I know now," James expressed. He went from watching Soul Train and BET to currently observing real fashion shows. In this way, B. James can draw upon a wealth of insight and inspiration and fuse past and present.
Brandon is also bold in his choices. – He is not afraid to use bright pops of bright color in his apparel and accessories. It's a strong aesthetic. When it came to his choice of colors, he has always loved bright, electric colors so he took five of his favorite colors he loved as a kid: red, royal blue, yellow and green. He added black and white later to balance out the creativity. When it came to the Adidas finale piece, he has a touch of history with the shell toe Adidas shoes. His mom had five boys and it was simply impossible to always buy every kid the most expensive shoes but the shell toe Adidas with the one shoe that were affordable and popular. Ironically, after seeing the hip hop artists wear them they became Brandon's favorite shoes.
For present day inspiration, if he sees someone "on the street", in a cafe, etc. and can see himself wearing or designing it, it can spark the imagination. Brandon mentioned that it could be an simple as an earring.
His future goal is to do a show every year and Brandon's next show will drop next year around the summer of 2018. Personally I can't wait! James admitted that it can be scary and vulnerable to put yourself out there but great at the same time. He's taking risks and following his dreams. B. James is always ready to learn more about the next step and up for the challenge. Brandon said "I can't explain how grateful I am to have Joy Rich Bullard and the Style Barre team here with me to guide me through this journey. Joy knows how to balance me out and calm me down when I overthink sometimes." "She came along at the perfect time and I couldn't ask for a better person or team to work with," James added.
Brandon James is the type of designer who is exciting to watch. He keeps you guessing and he will be headed to Awards show designing for hip hop artists who are ready for B. James.

Brentwood College School's standard of excellence exists not only in the classroom, but also on the court. The quality of coaching, competitive nature, and supportive atmosphere cultivate an all-around experience of trust, teamwork, and sportsmanship. We currently feature three junior teams and two senior teams ranging in skill level and competitiveness. This system empowers students who have never touched a ball to have a chance at learning a new sport, and allows experienced players to keep competing and improving, right to the collegiate level.
Our volleyball program gives all students a volleyball experience they will never forget, full of healthy competition, extensive coach-to-player interaction, and a great sense of community. The coaching staff is comprised of former national, university, and high school volleyball players with impressive combined coaching knowledge and experience.
The Varsity team has a remarkable record under the 15-year tutelage of Coach Jill Fougner. The team has won an unprecedented eight North Island titles and six Island Championships. The team has also won back-to-back Provincial Championships, two bronze medals and finished in the top 5 provincially six of the last ten years.

Healthy Outlook: Look for more education and county news in the Health section
Mackenzie Clark
mclark@ljworld.com
photo by: Mackenzie Clark/Journal-World Graphic
Fortunately, there's a lot of overlap in the education, county and health beats.
In a somewhat unusual edition of Healthy Outlook, I wanted to give you a heads up about some changes for both the Journal-World as a whole and for the Health section.
This past week, I started covering K-12 education and Douglas County government for the newspaper. I'll still cover health, too, and fortunately, there's a lot of overlap in these beats.
I can recognize that perhaps all the people who are interested in the schools and the county may not be so interested in what's on the Health page, and vice versa for health nut followers of this column. But I'm hoping to dive deep into some coverage that will blur the lines and interest all of those audiences.
I am beyond excited for this opportunity, and I've only scratched the surface of what's to come — but here's an early glance at my plans.
These are some of the many topics that will likely hit the Health pages in the near future:
• Behavioral health initiatives. Various Douglas County community partners have come to the table to brainstorm, plan and implement new programs and facilities over the past several years. Those of you who have kept up with Journal-World reporter Elvyn Jones' coverage are familiar with a lot of those concepts.
The county expects to start construction on a housing component of its behavioral health campus this year, the Journal-World has reported. The campus will also include a crisis center — that's a bit further down the line, but there's going to be plenty to report in the meantime.
This is also a key topic for the schools, at both the local and state levels.
The Kansas Legislature will likely decide this session whether to extend a one-year pilot Mental Health Intervention Program that has paired nine school districts across the state with corresponding community mental health centers. It's an effort to provide treatment and track the behavioral health needs of some students.
I'll keep an eye on that and see if it might come to Lawrence if it is extended, but there's a lot of work already underway here, and I hope to learn more about all of it. The WRAP (Working to Recognize Alternative Possibilities) program, for instance, places Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center workers in schools to provide students counseling, support, mediation, skills and more.
• Later high school start times. The Lawrence school district has been looking into changing the high school schedules to start and end their days later, and discussions on that topic will continue in the near future. (Very near, actually — it's on the school board's agenda for its Monday meeting.)
What exactly are the potential health benefits for students? Is a slightly later schedule better suited to youngsters' circadian rhythms? I'd like to take a closer look at the research, and maybe talk to some other districts that have implemented later start times to find out what they've seen.
• Growing kids. Well, they're all growing, but the middle schoolers are growing fresh produce in on-site gardens, as are some of the elementary schoolers. Also, as part of its Farm 2 School program, the school district uses a lot of locally grown produce in its cafeterias. Elementary school kids also get to take field trips out to farms and see the stuff growing, so they actually know where their food comes from.
On another note, the schools offer kids a lot of opportunities to get physically active. I've had a project on the back burner for some time looking at childhood nutrition education, and that's one I'm hoping to make good progress on this year.
Again, I'm only scratching the surface here, but I'm excited to look at these topics — and much more — from an angle slightly different from what the Journal-World has in the past.

Healthy Outlook is a column written by Journal-World reporter Mackenzie Clark, in hopes of helping readers make their lives a little bit happier, healthier and more active.

School of Ants skitters around Australia
The School of Ants citizen science project ventured out of its nest in Armidale and the North West Regional Science Hub earlier this year when coordinator Dr Kirsti Abbott skittered, with her family in tow, around a big part of Australia. Discover where Kirsti's epic ant trail has taken her, including visits to remote schools and swarming into regional festivals in Queensland and the Northern Territory.
One of the aims of our School of Ants 2015 tour is to bring schools and individuals into a yearlong citizen science project, where participants agree to collect ants monthly on the same day. Synchronicity in ecology data collections is rare, typically because a small team of scientists just can't be in too many places at once. But luckily for us, citizen science makes this possible!
All in all School of Ants received 52 registrations across Australia, of which half of the participants agreed to collect ants at yummy food baits at the same time as each other every month. In addition to this data collection, this approach created a sustainable, real science enquiry project that inspires students to connect and learn about their planet. This is why our citizen science offering attracted so much interest and excitement.
That there are more insects than any other multicellular living thing is reason alone to get down and dirty with them. School of Ants invites kids all over the country to ask questions and tell us what they want to know about these little things that run that world. These conversations will inform how we design future education programs for School of Ants.
As part of my tour, I was privileged to meet with many curious and expanding young citizen scientists. Participating schools in rural, regional and remote Australia were treated to whole days of antics programmed around each monthly collection. In Lockhart (NSW), Brewarrina (NSW), Gympie (QLD), Longreach (QLD), Cairns (QLD), Alice Springs (NT), Kununurra (WA) and Kimba (SA), we covered topics from zombie ants to ant behaviour and diet. Students, their teachers and parents helped collect data and graph it. We used microscopes to look at the many bizarre features on ants' bodies, and evens screen-printed ant t-shirts by hand!
School of Ants took citizen science into festivals too, appearing at The Planting at Woodfordia in southeast Queensland, and the Alice Springs Desert SMART EcoFair where the untapped potential for citizen science is enormous! Ants are always the uninvited but ubiquitous guests at these events.
This year School of Ants has identified 61 species of ants that come to food within an hour, three of which are considered invasive species. Among the most common species are those that Australians commonly refer to as 'little black ants' – those dominant critters that you notice at your lunch when you drop it, or at the washing line as the humidity increases. These ants are performing jobs in our urban environments that we take for granted every day. School of Ants' mission is to quantify those jobs. We've got our work cut out for us.
Dr Kirsti Abbott is an ant ecologist at the University of New England and coordinator of the citizen science project called School of Ants. Kirsti is also a member of the North West Science Hub. Listen to Kirsti talk about her adventures with School of Ants on ABC radio.

Of course he had two promising efforts on this surface prior to that and the well-bred bay should bounce straight back. He races in maiden company now and top rider Marcus has secured the mount.

Sing to Life: A Pregnancy Carol. Part the First.
My name is Maeganeezer Scrooge, and for the past two and a half years, all I'd wanted in life was to become pregnant and have a fat, blond baby who would lie on my living room floor and coo at the ceiling. I felt that nothing I had experienced up to that point – falling in love, building a home, honeymooning in wedded bliss – would ever compare with the ecstasy and delight that would be mine once that child lay in my arms. I knew it would be perfect. Oh! the adventure – the excitement – the luxury it would be to spend each hour with the baby I so desired!
