Northampton Facts
Northampton is a large market town and a local government district in the English East Midlands region. Northampton is situated 67 miles (108 km) north of London on the River Nene, and is the county town of Northamptonshire.
The district has a population of 200,100, whilst the urban area has a population of 189,474. By this measurement, it is the 21st largest settlement in England and is the UK's third largest town without official city status – after Reading and Dudley. Northampton is the most populous district in England not to be a unitary authority, a status it failed to obtain in the 1990s local government reform.[citation needed] Northampton's population has increased greatly since the 1960s, largely due to planned expansion under the New Towns Commission in the early-1960s.
Traditionally Northampton was a major centre of shoemaking and other leather related industries. Shoemaking has almost ceased though the back streets of the town still retain the pattern of small shoe factories surrounded by terraced houses for outworkers. Northampton's main industries now include distribution and finance, and major employers include Barclaycard, Euro Building & Maintenance, Panasonic, Travis Perkins, Coca Cola Schweppes Beverages Ltd, and Carlsberg Expansion Northampton's population has increased greatly since the 1960s, largely due to planned expansion under the New Towns Commission in the early-1960s. Other factors are the rail link and the busy M1 motorway that both lead direct to London. Northampton is within 70 miles of central London, and by train it takes approximately 1 hour to journey between the two. This transport link to the South East has proved attractive, with already high house prices in and around London rising rapidly since the 1990s causing many people to move increasingly further away from the area in order to commute from more reasonably-priced housing.
Most of Northampton's housing expansion has taken place to the east of the town with developments such as Canterbury Court, and on the western outskirts at Upton and to the south adjacent to an improved junction on the M1 at Grange Park, a development of some 1,500 houses actually in South Northants Council area.
Northampton (since 2006) is within one of the government's designated expansion zones and a new wave of development is being overseen by the West Northamptonshire development Corporation (WNDC). Their goal is the development of up to 37,000 new dwellings within the borough of Northampton and the infrastructure and services that will be required to service the increased population.
Expansion has already started with new roads and housing developments in West Northampton at Upton and St Crispins (2007). A lot of the expansion will be on brownfield sites such as Ransome road Far Cotton (an inner suburb) and within the existing borough boundaries. The WNDC will also oversee the redevelopment of Central Northampton into a primary regional centre that will service the expanded population, that will be comparable to UK cities such as Coventry and Nottingham with a population of approx 300,000 by 2018-2021 Transport Northampton is situated near junctions 15, 15a and 16 of the M1 motorway. The A45 and A43 go through the town and the A14 is close by to the north. By rail, Northampton railway station is served by the Northampton Loop of the West Coast Main Line, and has regular services to London and Birmingham provided by Silverlink Trains (to London) and London Midland (to Birmingham). Virgin Trains also provide some services to London and the north, with a small number of Pendolinos running each day. Sywell Aerodrome is the nearest airfield; for international links, East Midlands Airport and Luton Airport are quickly accessible by the M1, and Birmingham International Airport is accessible direct by train.
Transport within the town exists in the form of buses run by two main companies; The Stagecoach Group and The First Group, both of which offer a reasonable service with average wait times of between 10 to 30 minutes.
Bus travel into and out of Northampton is provided by The Stagecoach Group and National Express with Stagecoach providing travel to the outlying villages and towns and National Express covering major routes between urban centres in Britain.
Northampton is the terminus of an arm of the Grand Union Canal which snakes across Britain that allows navigation to the River Nene and the North Sea. Although no longer used for freight, the waterway is still popular with narrowboat owners with many stopping at the outlying villages of Gayton, Blisworth and Stoke Bruerne.
The town is noted for its many parks, which include:
Abington Park,
The Racecourse (home to the annual Balloon Festival). This was originally a horse-racing course until 1904, when it was abandoned following a series of accidents. To the far side of the park is the White Elephant public house, aptly named after the closure of the racecourse led to the loss of its main clientele. During WWII the park was ploughed over so that local residents could plant and grow vegetables.
Delapre Park,
Bradlaugh Fields,
Becket's Park (named after Thomas Becket, who also lends his name to the nearby Becket's Well and Thomas a Beckett public house) and *Iron Age hill fort Hunsbury Hill.
Billing Aquadrome leisure park is situated on the town's outskirts, which incorporates a caravan site, marina and funfair. As well as the 'Marina' bar, the site offers 'The Quays' riverside restaurant and 'The Billing Mill' which was converted from the original water mill, with many of the original workings still in place and visible through gallery windows.
As well as two indoor shopping centres (The Grosvenor Center and Peacock Place), the town also claims to have Britain's largest market square, which dates back to 1235. The square and surrounding shopping streets used to host the annual St Crispin Street Fair, held during the October half-term school holiday from 1993 to 2005. Away from the town centre the main suburban shopping areas are Wellingborough Road and the Weston Favell Centre. There are retail parks at Riverside and Towcester Road. The main leisure area is Sixfields, which includes bowling, restaurants and a cinema.
Thorntons Park
The Derngate and Royal theatres are situated next door to each other in Guildhall Road, opposite Northampton Museum and Art Gallery. They have been recently renovated and reopened to the public in November 2006. The Deco is a theatre/conference centre based on the Grade II listed former Cannon Cinema, in Abington Square. There is a smaller museum in a former mansion within Abington Park.
The old Fishmarket opposite the market square has been renovated by the NAC (Northampton Arts Collective) and now has a large gallery space, retail units, a cafe and art studios. Since its re-opening it has been host to many community events, gigs and exhibitions - including hip hip handmade (arts fair/market), Stitch and Bitch (alternative sewing workshops), MFS (Music For Squares) local magazine launch and an exhibition of the Northampton Carnival costumes. The NAC hope to use the Fishmarket to create a focus for the arts in Northampton.
Until the removal of council funding caused its closure and liquidation, the Northampton Roadmender was a leading venue for art and music in the region. It has since been brought by the Purplehaus group [1] and recently reopened.Four cinemas are also located in the town: Vue (formerly UCI) at Sol Central, Cineworld (formerly UGC, and before that Virgin Cinema and before that MGM) at Sixfields and the Forum Cinema at Lings Forum.
Every year, Northampton hosts the Balloon Festival, normally held at Racecourse Park. The festival has been held since 1990. Notable Buildings
Northampton's oldest standing building, the Church of The Holy Sepulchre, is one of the largest and best-preserved round churches in England. It was built in 1100 on the orders of the first Earl of Northampton, Simon de Senlis , who had just returned from the first Crusade. It is based on a plan of the original Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
The current All Saints' Church was built on the site of a great Norman church, All Hallows, which was almost completely destroyed by the Fire of Northampton in 1675. All that remained was the medieval tower and the fine vaulted crypt, but by 1680 All Saints had been rebuilt, with the help of donations from all over England, including 1,000 tons of timber from King Charles II, whose statue can be seen above the portico. Famously, the poet John Clare liked to sit beneath the portico of the church.
The Guildhall in Northampton (see picture at top) was constructed mostly in the 1860s in Victorian Gothic architecture, and extended in the 1990s. It is built on the site of the old town hall.
78 Derngate contains an interior designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for Wenman Joseph Bassett-Lowke and is the only major domestic commission outside Scotland. It is open to the public.
The 127.45 metre tall Express Lift Tower is a dominant feature in the area. Terry Wogan conducted a radio phone-in during the 1980s to come up with a name for it: "Northampton Lighthouse" was suggested as Northampton is one of the furthest places from the sea. It is also known as the "Cobblers' Needle". It was built to facilitate the testing of new lifts at the Express Lifts factory. It is visible from most of the town, but is now redundant. The tower has however been listed as being of architectural importance in the town.
Northampton Castle (now only remaining as a rebuilt postern gate in a wall outside the railway station and the hill on which it stood) was for many years one of the country's most important castles. The country's parliament sat here many times and Thomas Becket was imprisoned here until he escaped.
The Carlsberg UK brewery is located in the town.
Delapre Abbey – former Cluniac nunnery, founded by Simon de Senlis - later the County Records Office and site of the second Battle of Northampton.
Queen Eleanor's body rested here on its way to London – and the nearby Queen Eleanor's cross commemorates this resting. The Cross is also referred to in Daniel Defoe's a "Tour through the whole island of Great Britain" where he describes the Great Fire of Northampton, "...a townsman being at Queen's Croos upon a hill on the south side of the town, about two miles off, saw the fire at one end of the town then newly begun, and that before he could get to the town it was burning at the remotest end, opposite where he first saw it."
Northampton Academy - The county's most expensive school, with a state of the art 27 million pound building. Darren Kahan was former head boy.
Northampton School For Boys – one of the few state-funded single sex school for boys in England.
The town's Greyfriars Bus Station, built in the 1970s to replace the old Derngate station, was featured on Channel 4's Demolition programme and was cited as the worst transport station in the UK, and it was suggested worthy of demolition.

Bet you didn't think to see a post in March? No, we're not mining yet. The claim is still snowed in. Spring is in the air though. We're getting more daylight. I'm seeing puddles here and there and we're scrambling to get all the routine maintenance and minor repairs done on the equipment. In this post, wanted to share with you something we've been working on over dark days.
Have you ever gone crashing off through the brush to try a pan in an out of the way creek you've had your eye on, got the good stuff panned down, and SHOOT- you forgot the black sand magnet? Most black sand magnets are pretty bulky and don't just fit in your pocket. This winter, we set out to solve this problem.
Technology is great, in today's world, its almost like you can just imagine something and -boom-it appears. Meet the Kudo 3d Titan 2. Its a DLP printer, which basically means it uses a light projector to harden a resin and bring your creations to life. While that sounds pretty easy, this project had a lot of failures before we got a workable prototype. We also had to find the right magnets, springs and glue to assemble the pieces we printed.
We're calling her "Ruby" until we get a better name. We're pretty pleased with the outcome. At six inches long, it fits right in your pocket or prospecting kit. The magnet is pretty strong, and its great for getting that pesky black sand out of the way. It doesn't seem to pick up the gold like the bigger magnets do. One of our friends that has the blue bowl says it's the perfect size for getting in there without messing up the flow.
If you decide to try one, be sure to give us your feedback. We'd love to hear of any suggestions you have to improve the design. The next post will be about the operation, I promise. In the meantime best wishes to everyone and hopes for an early mining season!

Norman in Murky Legal Waters for Showing His Gun in Diner
State Democrats have asked S.C. AG and other law enforcement officials to investigate incident

South Carolina law enforcement and criminal justice officials have given mixed signals about whether or not Rep. Ralph Norman broke any laws Friday when he placed a loaded gun on a table at a meeting with constituents at a local diner.
The South Carolina Democratic Party called for the State Law Enforcement Division and the state attorney general's office to investigate the incident and for 16th Circuit Solicitor Kevin Brackett to file felony charges against the first-term Republican.
Norman dismissed the Democrats' request as political nonsense but said he would "welcome any challenges" from his opponents on the issue.
"Let them investigate all they want," he told the The Herald in Rock Hill, South Carolina, where the incident took place.
Norman said he has "no regrets."
"I didn't break any laws at all," the congressman said. "I did it to prove a point."
It is unclear whether SLED or the AG's office will launch formal investigations into whether Norman broke any laws when he removed his .38-caliber handgun from the inside pocket of his blazer and placed it on the table for roughly five minutes in front of constituents from the gun control group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America.
SLED will review and consider the request, Thom Berry, SLED spokesman told The Herald.
Brackett, the solicitor, has said he and his office will not be involved with initiating any prosecution against Norman because he and Norman are friends.
Brackett told The Herald that if he was not recusing his office from the matter, he would still not prosecute Norman because there was no criminal intent.
People have "reasonably questioned the wisdom" of Norman's actions, Brackett said, but they do not constitute a crime.
"I did not break the law," Norman said Monday. "I did not wave it. I did not brandish it. I didn't point it at anyone."
Others with knowledge of South Carolina's criminal justice system disagree.
B.J. Barrowclough, a York County deputy public defender, told The Herald that Norman's actions were illegal. Barrowclough's office represents clients arrested and charged in similar cases.
Norman said he sat with the Moms Demand Action activists at the "coffee with constituents" breakfast last Friday even though he could have chosen to sit with other constituents with whom he shares more common political ground.
The group and congressman discussed working together on domestic abuse legislation before the conversation turned to guns.
"Ralph, don't you carry a gun?" a man sitting in front of Norman asked. "Absolutely I do," Norman said.
The congressman then reached into the inside pocket of his blazer and removed the gun, which was loaded. He laid it on the table, pointed away from anyone. It remained there for at least five minutes before Norman retrieved it.
While Norman considered the gesture an opportunity to inform people who have had less experience with and exposure to guns, some present at the event interpreted it as intimidation.
"As I was sitting there, I was thinking, 'I don't think what he's doing is legal,'" Lori Freemon, a volunteer with Moms Demand Action, told The New York Times on Saturday.
"I was very angry," Freemon, 44, said. "I felt like it was a move to intimidate."
In a Facebook post the following day, Norman called Moms Demand Action a group with "a radical agenda, funded by out-of-state groups, and hell bent on repealing the Second Amendment and banning guns," a characterization the group said is not true.
"It is sad and disappointing that national gun control groups stoop to this sort of backhanded tactic to push their radical agenda," Norman wrote.

One of the great values in having a phone astrology reading done, is that it gives you a map of your tendencies, patterns, habits and needs. It also reveals where you tend to get caught and your path towards success.
What makes an astrology reading with Roman unique, is the depth of the reading in revealing your practical choices and opportunities to move forward, towards your greater becoming. Roman's readings bring to light your relationship with your core, spirit and your soul. That relationship defines the level of joy, power and effectiveness that you bring into your life.
For most people, much of our experience, both in childhood and in our adult lives has been a process of adapting to the needs and expectations of others: as children faced with our parent's expectations, and later as students, in our careers and in our relationships, we are pulled to define who we are by the needs of others. Over time, these experiences and the resulting choices we make tend to pull us out of harmony with our inherent nature, with the source of our aliveness and effectiveness.
A phone astrology reading with Roman, brings back into focus the greater picture. It shows you where and for what reasons you may have been held back from owning your greatness and full potential. Even more importantly, it will show you the way back to who you were meant to be.
Pandith Bhairav believes in follow-up. As part of the package, you are entitled to email questions that may come up afterwards as a result of the reading. In addition, a 10 minute follow-up session is available at no charge, if it helps to clarify any part of the phone astrology reading.


Each year more than five million couples separate in the United States and almost 1.2 million more couples divorce. While there are numerous books designed for the spouse who wants to separate or divorce, there are few resources for those who want to reconcile the relationship. This book is written specifically for the man whose wife has walked out on him and wants to win her back. It includes step-by-step, easy-to-understand instructions and advice. Real-life examples offer insight into how other men won their wives back, and a workbook section helps men develop a personalized plan for their individual situations. This book offers simple steps that God can use to restore hope and make a positive difference in a marriage relationship.
Through true stories of previously separated couples, you'll see how the principles illustrated in this plan have been fleshed out in the lives of real people and can lead to a successful reconciliation. Although there is no guarantee that you will win your wife back, you can still experience personal triumph and gain significant yardage in becoming the godly man you were intended to be.
Gary Smalley was one of the country's best-known authors and speakers on family relationships. In addition to writing The Blessing and The Two Sides of Love with John Trent, their book The Language of Love (newly revised and updated) won the Angel Award as the best contribution to family life. His national infomercial, Hidden Keys to Loving Relationships, has been viewed by television audiences all over the world.

How are Cannabis and Religion Connected?
When you really sit and think about it, it's no wonder that people of certain religions have used cannabis in their rituals. Cannabis and religion go hand in hand when it comes to finding a spiritual awakening. Many religions have used cannabis for its psychoactive properties, some 16th-century texts even mentioning "seeking to see ghosts."
But how do different religions use cannabis in their religious practices? How did it all start?
Cannabis in Ancient and Modern Day China
About 20 years ago, farmers in China discovered a mummified corpse. The man seemed to be of high social status as he was well dressed and had with him many possessions including a harp, archery equipment and a few other items that lead researchers to believe that the man may have been a shaman. Also found with the man was 789g of dried cannabis.
Scientists were able to analyze the marijuana and could prove it to be so as it was very well preserved and contained THC. However, no pipes or any other clues were found in the tomb with the shaman to prove that it was to be smoked. Some researchers mentioned that it could have been for use in the afterlife as a "medicine or for visionary purposes."
As mentioned previously, cannabis has long been used for its mind altering properties. Taoists, those who practice Taoism, an ancient Chinese practice, have been known to use cannabis as an incense. They use it to help guide them on their spiritual journey beyond the mortal plane.
Cannabis in India
Cannabis has long been found in India and has been used for centuries in religion. Dating as far back to 2000 B.C., the sacred Hindu text The Vedas, mentions cannabis as one of the five sacred plants. It was said to have a guardian angel who lived in it's leaves.
In the Hindu tradition, there are three types of cannabis preparation that are commonly used, even to this day. The first is known as bhang, which is typically made using nuts, spices and sugar and combined with cannabis and boiled in milk.
Bhang is said to be associated with the god Shiva. According to legend, Shiva was wandering in the hot sun in a field after a family dispute. Tired from the heat and the altercation with his family, he fell asleep under a leafy plant. When he woke up, his curiosity got the better of him and he decided to sample the leaves from the plant. Feeling instantly rejuvenated, he decided that was his favorite food.
The second preparation of cannabis is called ganga. This form is stronger than bhang and is made from the flower and upper leaves of the female plant and then smoked. Charas is the third preparation and is also stronger than bhang. Also known as "black gold" or "finger hash", it is made from extracted resin from an almost-mature flower bud by rolling it in your palms. The resin is then smoked in a pipe called a chillum, and is usually shared between two to five people.
Rastafarianism and Cannabis
When one first thinks of a Rastafarian they may go straight to a stereotype of a Rasta sitting somewhere with a big joint in his mouth listening to Bob Marley and just living life. However, Rastafarianism is far from that.
Rastafarianism follows the text of the Old Testament. They believe that marijuana is mentioned various times throughout the Bible and interpret it as such. For instance, "eat every herb of the land" is interpreted as all herbs including marijuana, and God put them there for man to use.
Rastafarians only smoke marijuana during ceremonies, known as reasonings, to bring them closer to Jah (God). Reasonings are very meaningful ceremonies that can include deep meditation, prayer, debates, and other discussions.
Rastaman began using cannabis in their religious practices as early as the late 1800s. One of the most popular Rastaman is Bob Marley, though what you may not know is that he did not see a purpose in smoking marijuana recreationally. He saw himself as a holy person, as most Rastafarians do, and saw cannabis as a holy rite which opened the door to help him get closer to his creativity.
How Do Religions Use Cannabis in Ceremonies and not Recreational Use?
An interesting thought one might have is how and why most religions who use cannabis for their religious practices and ceremonies only use it for that, and no recreational use outside of their practices. There are a few things to keep in mind when thinking about this.
One is that cannabis is always used in some sort of ritual, meditation, or other religious ceremony to bring one closer to a higher power. The second is that it is never mentioned to be used outside of these religious rituals, you only use them to be closer to a divine being, nothing else. It's all about context and how others around you view it and how you see it yourself.
Many religions use cannabis in their religious practices, the ones we have mentioned, and many more beyond that. Cannabis has been around for centuries and has brought us closer to a higher power. Whether that be through smoking with a pipe or burning it as incense, or even ingesting it in a mixture or drink. We all seek to find peace and tranquility through our meditation practices and religious ceremonies, and cannabis is here to help us reach our peak and communicate with our divine beings.

The Carnegie Mellon study considers two ways to recoup the funds EV drivers aren't paying in gas taxes: a usage tax of two cents per mile, and an annual registration fee of 0.6 percent of the car's MSRP. Neither is likely to happen. The government isencouraging people to buy EVs through a $7,500 federal tax credit. It probably would be loathe to do anything to undermine that campaign. "The goal [of the government] right now is to increase adoption of EVs," says Professor Inês Azevedo, an associate professor of engineering and public policy at CMU, and an author of the study.

Thought you might appreciate this item(s) I saw at Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine.
Growth-differentiation factor 15 as a predictor of mortality in patients with heart failure: a meta-analysis
Zeng, Xiaocong; Li, Lang; Wen, Hong; Bi, Qi
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine: February 2017 - Volume 18 - Issue 2 - p 53–59
doi: 10.2459/JCM.0000000000000412
Focused issue on heart failure and aortic valve disease review
Aims Measurement of the biomarker growth-differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) in patients with heart failure may help in risk stratification. We assessed the relationship between GDF-15 and mortality in patients with heart failure by conducting a meta-analysis.
Methods PubMed, Embase, ISI Web of Science, SCOPUS, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for studies that reported data on the baseline GDF-15 levels and all-cause or cardiovascular mortality. Pooled hazard ratios for mortality were calculated and presented with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Potential sources of heterogeneity were assessed by meta-regression, subgroup, and sensitivity analyses.
Results Eight studies with a total of 4126 heart failure patients were included. Pooled results showed that overexpression of GDF-15 was associated with poor survival in heart failure patients (log unit GDF-15: hazard ratio = 1.86, 95% CI = 1.37–2.52). Subgroup analyses revealed similar results. However, there was evidence of heterogeneity and publication bias. The association disappeared after correction using the trim-and-fill method (log unit GDF-15: hazard ratio 1.07, 95% CI 0.80–1.42).
Conclusion The results of this meta-analysis indicate an association of elevated GDF-15 levels with increased risk of mortality in patients with heart failure. However, the results should be interpreted with caution due to substantial heterogeneity and publication bias among the studies included in the meta-analysis.

Efforts to help the Orange-bellied Parrot
Orange-bellied Parrots (OBPs), a critically endangered species, are successfully being bred and released into the wild in the hope of increasing the wild population of this iconic species. Efforts are also being made to protect and restore habitats for the OBP such as coastal salt marsh on the northern shores of Port Phillip Bay.

Breeding and preparing parrots for the wild
The Victorian and Australian Governments, Zoos Victoria, Moonlit Sanctuary and Corangamite Catchment Management Authority have invested in the Mainland Release Trial which aims to increase the size of the bird's wild-living population in conjunction with increasing their survival in the wild. The program is in its fifth year and has seen 36 OBPs released in April 2021 from three sites after being captive bred and prepared for the wild.
DELWP, Zoos Victoria, Moonlit Sanctuary, BirdLife Australia, Melbourne Water, Parks Victoria, Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CMA), and the Tasmanian Government are partnering to deliver the Mainland Release Trial, with the hope of once again having flocks of OBPs in Victoria's coastal habitats.

Orange-bellied Parrots need our help
The OBP is a small 'grass parrot' found in southern Australia and one of only three species of parrots that migrate. The OBP spends summers breeding in Tasmania and winters in coastal Victoria and South Australia. The OBP is one of Australia's most threatened species, with just over 50 adults arriving for the start of the breeding season in 2020.
Threats to the species include habitat loss and modification, predation by cats and foxes, and spread of noxious weeds. The OBP is listed as Critically Endangered under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (1999).
Melbourne Water and Parks Victoria working together
Projects to improve and restore the OBPs preferred coastal saltmarsh habitat have been undertaken at the Western Lagoon and Kirk Point; adjoining areas on the northern shores of Port Phillip Bay.
The Western Lagoon is managed by Melbourne Water and is a former sewage treatment lagoon commissioned in 1971. The ponds were decommissioned in 2004, set aside for conservation and initially supplied with recycled water to maintain a freshwater wetland habitat. However, originally this area would have been populated with coastal saltmarsh, a vulnerable vegetation that has been significantly lost due to coastal development across Victoria. The Western Lagoon has undergone two stages of works to restore some of the ponds to saline conditions. Quite naturally the saltmarsh has regrown in the area.

Kirk Point, adjacent to the Western Treatment Plant is part of The Spit Nature Conservation Reserve and is managed by Parks Victoria. Access to the public was via a track through the Western Treatment Plant, but unfortunately the site has been prone to damage from vehicles and rubbish dumping. In collaboration with Parks Victoria, Melbourne Water completed a project to restrict vehicle access to the track and designated sites using a border of large basalt rocks. This has been very successful in supporting the natural regrowth of saltmarsh in the area.
These projects have been successful at restoring the saltmarsh, which is one of the key vegetation values in the Healthy Waterways Strategy as well as being an important habitat and food source for the OBPs. These projects have led to increased sightings of OBPs at those sites, which has been great for the birds and birdwatchers alike.

The work outlined here is contributing towards targets and performance objectives aimed at protecting two key values in the Healthy Waterways Strategy: birds, and saltmarsh vegetation.
The protection and restoration of saltmarsh on the northern shores of Port Phillip Bay also contribute to vegetation and habitat performance objectives in the Little River Estuary and priority wetlands The Spit Nature Conservation Reserve and the WTP treatment lagoons.

to come out of the closet and support the cause.
I mean, it can't just be me can it?
Because it seems that one sure fire way of clearing a room is to turn on your favourite Christmas album.
It's worked for me. Plenty of times.
For years the only Christmas music I played was Bing Crosby - and I am talking from my 20s up.
Oh yes, as soon as that Christmas Tree went up I forgot about my favourite rock music and on came Bing.
Of course, I was teased unmercifully. And still am.
I am not embarrassed to admit that I would play the album at least twice a day for at least 3 weeks and I never got sick of it. Ever.
Unfortunately, everyone else did not share the same view.
Many plans were hatched by 'the haters' to dispose of Bing in the most undignified of ways.
And I was offered bribes that would have even made Nigerian officials stand up and take notice.
It was Bing and me against the world.
In fact it has only been in the last couple of years that people have managed to convince me to try something new.
Just because it got a bit lonely with just me, Bing and the Christmas Tree.
So, in the spirit of Christmas, I bought something new.
Nice, easy listening and kind of like Bing but with a Canadian accent.
However, as I've since discovered, he is as equally polarising, if not more so.
Then, in my quest for Peace & Harmony, two vital ingredients for any holiday season, I went searching for other Christmas Albums.
Oh my, just look at the choice. Every artist has a holiday release.
Even Rod Stewart? I like Rod but no, not sure I can.....go rocking around the Christmas Tree...noooo.
Mmmmm, perhaps it is not the artist that people dislike, but the tunes that people get tired of.
Perhaps you either like Christmas music or you don't. As for me I am looking for something new.
What about you? Are you a Christmas music 'liker' or 'hater'?
And of US and Canadian readers you also get to participate in a Giveaway.
By leaving a comment on this post TWO people have a chance to each win TWO Christmas music releases for the Holiday Season. LUCKY YOU!!
The first is my favourite MARGO REY (and my family may be thrilled to know she has released some holiday music too). Love her! Her holiday EP is called This Holiday Night. Her original single of the same name. "This Holiday Night" is already gaining momentum and recognition from the Billboard charts. Margo is currently on a month long tour in the US with Dave Koz and Sheila E now through to December 23.
I have downloaded this already, just beautiful!!!!! And I particularly love her rendition of Silent Night.
The next is AAA artist SHAUNA BURNS and her holiday album is called A Winter Gathering. She brings her Celtic twist to the holiday classics like "Carol of the Bells" and "Silent Night". Really haunting and beautiful.
Entries close on Midnight 10/12/2012 (PT). I mean you have got to have time to play it before Christmas, right?
Thanks to Mile High Productions, Los Angeles (online and social media marketing for the entertainment industry) for the prizes.
The winners were drawn by random.org on 12/12/2012 - Congratulations to Tashabud and Secret Agent Woman for winning the holiday albums.
I love Christmas music for the first week of December, and then again in about July.
Do you do Christmas in July?
I like christmas songs but few and far between. Coldplay did some good ones. True. Interesting to know what these are like although I heard Margot Rey when you posted her before. I like her. I cannot believe you listened to Bing for like a gazillion years.
Yes I did and do but it has been a while since I listened to him. He just has one of those voices that melt into the background. Easy listening, honest lol.
I adore Christmas music. Not the rock kind, but more traditional. My all-time favorite is the Kingston Trio's "Last Month of the Year." Wonderful stuff.
Kingston Trio, yes. You may well like Shauna Burns too. Celtic, quite lovely.
The mall I work at has had piped-in Christmas music for more than a week. Some of it is good, some is worth forgetting.
Since I'm surrounded by seasonal music during the day I don't seek it out as much as in years past, but it wouldn't be Christmas without a classic from my childhood--Holiday Sing-Along with Mitch Miller.
I have never heard of Mitch Kathy but I will have to go and check him out. Yes I can imagine working in a mall with music non stop, you really would get sick of it.
Your playlist is showing my age too....damn you...lol. All good stuff! Err. except for Mariah Carey.
I LOVE Christmas music, I've been listening on the radio.
That is great Christine another believer!
I like Christmas music but they start it all too early here...By the time Christmas comes---well, I'm tired of it...And...Well....It's too much. And, in all candor and honesty, I don't care for individual Artists Christmas Albums...I like traditional Chorises or old fashioned sounding orchestrations of Christmas Carols....So, that's my story, my dear Lilly...!
Yes one loyal woman, lol. Not sure he was though right? I like the Chorises too, best way to hear Christmas Carols really especially the more traditional ones.
I love love Christmas music. But I don´t really have a favorite singer. As long as it´s not too "loud" or "hard", I listen. I love Christmas music radio stations, they give me a taste of everything.
Christmas music radio stations? Well I never...didn't know they existed..Radio does nto play much Christmas music here unless it is on the charts.
I'm listening to it right now! Love it!
I enjoy Christmas music and it can place you in a good mood. I have eclectic taste in music and that applies to Christmas music too.
Sheryl Crow, Chris Isaak, Diana Krall, James Taylor, Josh Groban, Madonna, Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett, and more are in my iTunes holiday playlist.
Even Stephen Colbert did a funny catchy Christmas tune.
Actually I would like to listen to your Christmas plalylist, I lke it. You like Sheryl Crow don't you? She has Christmas songs?
She even did the Bing classic "White Christmas".
I have her songs from two albums - "A Very Special Christmas Vol3/5" (various artists) and her own "Home for Christmas".
Your post inspired me for a post about random Christmas thoughts so I gave you a shout-out.
Well I never, she has Christmas albums? I will have to check them out. I like her too.
I like Christmas music just in small doses. It can get a bit much played over and over. There is one song I do hate and that's Jingle Bells. Yuk.
Yes, I think I am with you on th eJingle Bells and a few other twee ones. But they are for kids really I guess.
I don't want to win this contest Lilly, seriously. However, I love Christmas music, Christmas lights, all things holidayish. I will go to Christmas plays and concerts both as part of one of my part-time gigs and because I love Christmas. I give and receive cards. I give gifts within my tiny budget. I love Christmas music. My husband has an internet radio station and the holiday mix is wonderful - including Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, and a lot of other artists whose names I can't thing of now (Santa Claus is Coming to Town by the Jacksons) and a song he recorded before I met him "It's Christmas Time." Check it out (sun-music.net).
Can-Can, wow I love it. We are so alike and on opposite sides of the World too! I am checking out your husband's radio station and am putting the link in this comment again so viewers can go and listen (I will be). Everyone should go and check out Sun-Music.net Wow, you never cease to surprise me EVER!
Love it when I get those links to work in comments - anyone interestested, see my blogging tips to find out.
That is great Sally. Imagine, will I have to go on a holiday to the USA to see Margo or will she ever come to Australia to tour, I wonder! I love her rendition of Silent Night. Never thought I would ever want to get up and dance with Silent Night lol.
You are so clever Aleta, perhaps a tune on your piano on your blog??? I would love to hear your music.
I am happy that I found you via Lisleman's Blog. I loved Bing. No joke. I found a RECORD ALBUM, remember those? many years ago, and I loved it. I know I like others but really Bing is king. Well, maybe Sting. That's sounds crazy but he released a great collection of solid classics of UK songs.
thanks for dropping by Laurie. Record album? Um yes I do remember those. Last century right? Think vinyl is all coming back again. I like Sting too. Hope you listened to Margo, she has such a wonderful voice.
I love Christmas music! Every year I spend a lot of time picking out the perfect CD purchase to add to my collection. Then I make the perfect Christmas play list, and then listen to it every day from Thanksgiving until New Year's. I haven't purchased it yet, but I think next year I'm going to finally get Clay Aiken album. What can I say, this year Pentatonix beat him out.
Wow you are committed. I will have to check out Pentatonix too.
My first time here. I like Christmas music and will buy a couple of new CDs each year. This year I went retro – I purchased some second-hand CDs – the Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown Christmas to remind me of my happy days in San Francisco, a Christmas album of Nana Mouskouri, to remind me of my Christmas at home in Paris, then the Dave Brubeck Christmas album – one of my favorite jazz musicians, then was saddened to hear he passed away two days ago.
Thanks for dropping by Vagabond. Nana Mouskouri, oh wow. My sisiter dressed up as her for a fancy dress party the other night. You have great taste.
Hey what's up with your prime minister Julia? She know something that she is just telling the Aussies? K-pop will destroy the world?
Just read my blog before you are gone for good.
I really like Margo and i went to check Shauna out too. Very different and great talent, both of them. I like all sorts of holiday music and I don't really tire of it all.
Thanks Jennifer and good luck!
Hi Lilly, I'm definitely a Christmas songs lover. And, yes, Bing is at the top of my list too. I love the traditional versions much better than the modernized ones. I sometimes play Christmas songs in July, for example, when I feel like it. Hehe.
Christmas is sure just around the corner, so I hope you don't mind me wishing you a "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" this early.
Thanks Tasha, will email you.
My son-in-law LOVES Christmas music. In fact, when he joined our family, he gave me two CDS (or was it a DVD?) full of his favorite Christmas music. It's a mixture. I wonder where my Bing Crosby album is. I have the one where he's wearing a Santa hat. Sigh... Brings back memories.
How sweet your son in law is Kay. Maybe Art buried Bing somewhere lol..
I love Christmas music and so does my husband we actually start listening playing it right after Halloween. My husband always turns it on when were cooking dinner in the evening great relaxer.
It is a great relaxer Tina and a reminder to chill really and focus on what is most important which to me is spending time with family. Thanks for dropping by.
When I lived at home with my parents EVERY Christmas day we would put on "White Christmas" by Bing while we opened our presents....actually now that I think about it we continued the tradition until 2005, because we always had Christmas lunch at my parents house.
I play John Lennon these days "Happy Xmas" (War is over).
Oh yes, I have always loved John Lennon too and really like that song as well Peggy. I must come visit your blog as I am hoping to see some talk of NZ?
I really like Margo and would love her holiday EP. I love all kinds of Christmas music.
She is great, I agree.
i like The songs which are funky, good to dance to and I believe can be a lot of fun for people.
We have a Holiday Music station on TV cable .. it begins with Christmas music in early December ... I never turn it off! Does that answer your question?


ALS' Spectral Gamma Detector is an integrated tool that measures naturally occurring radiation in a core sample. This data can be integrated with wireline measurements to calibrate depth logs and calculate over and under recovery.
• Measurements are taken at three-inch intervals for the entire length of the core. ALS Spectral Gamma Detector is capable of measuring total gamma (API), Uranium (%), Thorium (ppm), and potassium (K).
• Core can be measured in barrels, liners, wax, plastic bags, or exposed.
• Allows for correlation of wireline data to core measurements.
• Facilitates depth corrections that are required due to zones of over or under recovery.
• Ratios of spectral elements can be used to predict rock properties, mineralogy, and pay zones.
• Calibrated log showing Uranium, Potassium, Thorium, total gamma, and total gamma minus Uranium.
• Tabulated data that is easily integrated into logging software.

Q: How does Raspbian draw images on the terminal? When you turn a Raspberry Pi on, it displays three (or four) pictures of raspberries in the top-left corner of the screen. Now, as far as I know, you cannot draw images or any other non-text content on the text mode terminal. How does Raspbian manage it? Even weirder, this happens before I start X..
The answer to this question, for example, says that it is impossible to draw images on the terminal without talking to X directly

A: The raspberries are not drawn on a text only screen, nor is X used.
This is part of the bootsplash image and displayed in VESA/VGA graphics mode, which also displays your boot text in a higher resolution (i.e. smaller characters) than the non-graphical 80x25 screen.

Barking about psychic phenomena is all the rage in the dog park these days.
Efuryone has an opinion about out-of-doggy experiences, canine intuition and telepawthy. We spend hours chewing the paranormal fat.
Some of my furiends even had past life readings! Paco, the Maltese, says he was a pampered lap dog who belonged to Madame de Pompadour. Antonio, the Italian Greyhound, is convinced that he was a Poodle in a Rembrandt painting. Sweet Clara the Chihuahua tells me she was a brave German Shepherd who tracked fugitives during World War II.
Getting a past life reading sounds exciting, but instead, I chose to consult a psychic who sees the future.
Oops! I have to run. She's expecting my call!

The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs
McCall Smith, Alexander
Professor Dr. von Igelfeld Entertainment - Book 2
The Professor Dr. von Igelfeld Entertainment series slyly skewers academia, chronicling the comic misadventures of the endearingly awkward Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld, and his long-suffering colleagues at the Institute of Romantic Philology in Germany.
Readers who fell in love with Precious Ramotswe, proprietor of The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, now have new cause for celebration in the protagonist of these three light-footed comic novels by Alexander McCall Smith. Welcome to the insane and rarified world of Professor Dr. Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld of the Institute of Romance Philology. Von Igelfeld is engaged in a never-ending quest to win the respect he feels certain he is due-a quest which has the tendency to go hilariously astray.
In The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs , Professor Dr. Von Igelfeld is mistaken for a veterinarian and not wanting to call attention to the faux pas, begins practicing veterinary medicine without a license. He ends up operating on a friend's dachshund to dramatic and unfortunate effect. He also transports relics for a schismatically challenged Coptic prelate, and is pursued by marriage-minded widows on board a Mediterranean cruise ship.

The characters are all so pompous and full of themselves, their perceptions are skewed and hilarious. I've read this book a couple of times and always find it amusing.

Disappointed, had liked the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, but did not really appreciate this series. Find the main character annoying.

A few months back, Grace (hi Grace!) invited me to an "underground Ethiopian supper club" dinner. As I've had some of the best experiences in my life with Wolvesden (Part I, Part II, Part III) (no joke!), I jumped at the chance to try another supper club. The fact that it was an Ethiopian supper club intrigued me more, as I had never tried Ethiopian food before at all.
Bërëkët was created in 2011 and serves "modern Ethiopian cuisine." The restaurant is run by two sisters, one acting as the hostess and one acting as the chef, and pops up all over Los Angeles in different locations. This time, it was held in an art gallery on the corner of Fourth and Spring Street. The open space was great for accommodating the 60-70 people who were invited to dinner that night. The event was BYOB (and all other drinks, besides water) and there was homemade honey wine available, which was so delicious that I'd probably drink it all the time if I had access to it.
The first two courses served were more modern dishes, with Ethiopian components to it (ie toasted barley and berbere). It was a good introduction for the people at the table, such as myself, who were a bit nervous about jumping into this cuisine. Luckily, we had nothing to fear; the twists were small enough to be unobtrusive and large enough to make you notice the dish was different.
Up to this point, the spices were pretty light in the dishes but it certainly wasn't to remain that way! A trio of vegetarian curries was served next, with the traditional Ethiopian bread to eat it with, which had a slightly sour taste to it. Afterwards, there was a chicken dish and THAT'S when the spices started like crazy. It wasn't hot-spicy, but simply full of spices. The chicken was marinated and broiled over the course of three days.
That chicken had a crazy amount of spices! But it was really good, especially with the perfectly cooked egg. I wish there were bigger, meatier pieces. We happened to sit next to two Ethiopian couples and they told us that the food was very authentic. Doro wot is a traditional dish and every family has its own variation of it. I can't wait to try a different version ... maybe a milder one next time? Maybe because the chicken was on the bone and there was less meat to it, the spices got slightly overwhelming by the time I was on drumette number two.
Dessert did NOT disappoint. In fact, it was so good that when Patrice didn't want hers (hi Patrice! hi Chadwick!), I ate hers for her ... even though we just met. Shameless huh? She didn't seem to mind though. We're all already Facebook friends, so that means we're besties for life, and that makes it un-weird. The company and the food was great. Sitting at a communal table, trying new foods, and talking to the people around us (many of them were also trying Ethiopian food for the very first time) made for a great experience. Plus ... we had dinner with ... Alec Baldwin?! Check out that pose!

Giving Dupage
by Tom Okarma | Sep 22, 2011 | Blog, Leadership
Successful executive directors and board members of nonprofit agencies know they must excel in certain key areas to carry out their mission and to make maximum impact in the community. Falter in these key areas and their agency's span of reach and impact is significantly reduced, or worse. Two of these keys to success are volunteers and donations.
Every agency needs passionate and reliable volunteers who are committed to the cause and steady, reliable cash flow to finance its work. So it makes sense that agencies focus a lot of their time, talent, and efforts on these two success factors.
Well, what if there was a local partner for agencies whose sole purpose is to promote giving and volunteerism in the local community? What if you could tap into a no-cost partner whose mission is to help you in these two areas? Here in DuPage County, IL we are fortunate to have just such a resource-Giving DuPage.
Two philanthropists who felt that the community was unaware of all the ways to share their time, treasure and talent with others founded Giving DuPage in 2001. With the support of the DuPage County Government and in collaboration with the Healthy DuPage initiative, Giving DuPage was initially called the DuPage Philanthropy Project, and was established with a mission to promote giving and volunteerism in DuPage County.
While the name was changed to Giving DuPage, the mission and vision have remained consistent over the last ten years. It does not promote any particular organization or cause-it just wants to help people get involved in the community. Giving DuPage has a terrific board of directors and two volunteer committees that offer assistance: Event and Marketing (where I serve) and Non Profit Steering.
Kathy Blair
Kathy Blair has been the Executive Director of Giving DuPage since 2007 after working locally in the non-profit sector since 1998. I spoke with her about how her organization partners with over 300 local nonprofits.
Through her hard work and constant networking Kathy positions Giving DuPage as the pre-eminent resource to local nonprofits and volunteers. She strives to serve as a connector or a facilitator to help nonprofits thrive and volunteers to get connected. If it's a nonprofit issue in DuPage County, Kathy probably knows all about it.
DuPage County is very fortunate in the area of volunteerism. Kathy says the state of volunteerism here is very strong and growing because there are so many opportunities available for all interests and for people with a wide range of skills. (Probably because of her hard work, too.) Among those pitching in to help nonprofits are:
Elementary, middle, and high school service students
In job transition
Underemployed
Recent college grads
There is a wide variety of nonprofits benefiting from this call to service- from schools, to cultural nonprofits to social service agencies. So many are seeing increases. Kathy notes that many people with more time available have turned to the nonprofit sector to network, polish ones' professional and business skills, or just give back to a community that has given so much to so many residents.
Giving remains strong too, both annual giving and major gifts, but especially in the area of planned giving. People are not just putting time in their favorite agencies but also making plans to leave a legacy gift later on. When community members call Kathy to request more information about these topics, she refers them to the DuPage Community Foundation.
I asked Kathy what the successful agencies are doing during these tough economic times. She listed five specific actions:
Getting out in the community and staying engaged
Living their mission
Using donor's dollars prudently
Ongoing communication with staff, volunteers and donors about successes and shortcomings
Remaining focused. Today's most successful organizations are always evaluating themselves to insure they are relevant, while maintaining their core values. Those who fail are confused about who they are and what they want to be.
I asked Kathy to project out to the year 2015 and assume Giving DuPage is still a highly successful agency, doing great work. What 2-3 things contributed to that success? Almost immediately, she said:
Encouraging collaboration among all nonprofits
Providing capacity-building opportunities for nonprofits to grow and mature
Being an advocate for volunteerism and community engagement.
Finally, l asked Kathy if she could obtain any resource or asset, what would it be. She said a webmaster or someone who could manage the site and her social media. This could significantly increase her agency's services to nonprofits…Any takers?

Village of Kinderhook Justice Court
6 Chatham Street, Kinderhook, NY 12106
First and third Monday of every month at 7:00 p.m.
Prosecuted by Columbia County District Attorney's Office or the officer who issued the ticket
Columbia County District Attorney's Office
Hon. David A. Dellehunt
The Village of Kinderhook is located in the center of the Town of Kinderhook. Though small in size, it is reasonably busy. The major thoroughfare is U.S. 9, and the remainder of the village is more densely populated than other neighboring townships. Enforcement in the Village of Kinderhook is handled primarily by the New York State Police from "Troop K," which has a barracks located in town. Most speeding tickets are written for speeds under 10 mph over the limit, as the police are stricter in the 30 mph zones. In addition, the police regularly look for miscellaneous vehicle and traffic violation, as it is a more densely populated area.
The village justice has a specific "traffic calendar," which is devoted to adjudicating traffic tickets. The NYS Police are prohibited from negotiating plea bargains on traffic violations. As a result, the Columbia County District Attorney's Office handles tickets written by the NYS police. 95% of state police tickets are adjudicated through plea bargains with the prosecutor. The Prosecutor and both judges are reasonable about plea bargains as long as the speed is not too high.
All criminal prosecutions are handled by the Columbia County District Attorney's Office. The Columbia DA's office has taken a fairly hard line on DWI prosecutions. There are more than 1000 alcohol-related driving arrests for impaired or intoxicated driving (DWI, DWAI, DWAI-D) in Columbia County every year. Both the NYS Police and the Columbia County Sheriff's Department made numerous arrests. Most arrests occurred after dark with many taking place after midnight. Police officers assume that many drivers who are out after midnight have consumed alcohol and or drugs. As a result they are looking for any lawful reason to pull drivers over in order to investigate possible DWI incidents. Alcohol checkpoints were established several times by state and local police.
In addition to DWI and DWAI, numerous arrests were made for Driving While Impaired by Drugs, Aggravated Unlicensed Operation and Driving With a Suspended Registration. All of these offenses are "criminal" violations of the law and, as a result are prosecuted by the Columbia County District Attorney's office.
The judge in Kinderhook Village Court is an attorney.
Both judges in Kinderhook Town Court are attorneys.

Some characteristics for livable cities would be the employment. In the metropolitan areas, the main livelihoods are industrial, administrative and professional in nature. The divisions of labor and job-related profession are very much frequent in towns, cities and metropolitan areas. The community heterogeneity plays a factor as well. The urban areas are illustrated by varies of people, races and cultures. There is great assortment in view to the food and dress habits, living conditions, religious beliefs, cultural outlook, customs and traditions of the urbanites. Also, the proper social control in urban neighborhood is for all intents and purposes recognized in nature. Peoples actions is keeping pace by such organizations like law courts, jail, or even police etc. Urban areas build accessible needs for reconstruction in society as a whole. (Bühler, P., Schlaich, P., & Sinner, D. 2018). It is definitely difficult by the fact that a small amount of low-income family unit are able to come up with the money for a new car, which trim downs the cost of funding but families are likely to have poor credit and that has the differing effect. The worn cars that they buy are also to be expected to be a lesser amount of trustworthy than the average. That leads to the maintenances costing more than usual. The dilemma is a metropolitan and suburban transportation considered to accommodate cars at the cost of non-automotive traffic and be deficient in of well-designed, well-funded public transit services. The automotive standard of living and the category of development and communications it causes can be shown to raise transportation costs while limiting access to jobs, causing these costs to rise without there necessarily being a correlating rise in the competence of poor Americans to pay them. Waitakere City has been experiencing the distinctive troubles of urban growth, such as the urban sprawl, traffic overcrowding, and pressure on natural areas surrounded by the city. Additionally, the cities replicate various ethnic makeup's. (Bulletin, C. 2017, January 04). Noticeably, the European ethnic mainstream and minorities of quite a lot of cultural groups can repeat for the makeup's. The city council has urbanized a Green Network Plan with the purpose of defense, re-establishment, and ornamenting the natural environment across the whole city, whereas mounting human enjoyment and appreciation of that environment. (Bühler, P., Schlaich, P., & Sinner, D. 2018). That goal places human beings within the natural world, as stewards of its natural and spiritual health. The whole community is enrolled in 'greening the city' that consist of restoring native plants, providing corridors for wildlife, and providing access to the parks and reserves that will maintain people's safety from crime. Trenton was suffering from the widespread problems of a crumbling urban center, ethnic segregation, and urban affliction. (Bulletin, C. 2017, January 04). They did end up fostering a lot of changes such as vacant lands being transformed into 15 community garden sites, about 300 units of affordable housing have been created, abundant unemployed young people have been given job training in relation with the affordable housing projects. Last but not least, they created career centers.

Philipp Heinrich Wilhelm Theodor Schäfer (* 17. Februar 1846 in Friedberg (Hessen); † 24. Februar 1914 in Rotenburg (Wümme)) war ein deutscher, evangelischer Pastor und Theologe. Er gilt als Pionier der Körperbehindertenfürsorge.

Leben
Theodor Schäfer war der älteste Sohn von Johann Peter Schäfer, der in Friedberg eine Blindenanstalt gegründet und bis zu seinem 81. Lebensjahr geleitet hatte. Während des Studiums der Theologie in Gießen (1864–1866), Erlangen (1866–1867) und Leipzig (WS 1867/68) trat Theodor Schäfer dem Gießener, Erlanger und Leipziger Wingolf bei. Er hospitierte  zweimal für insgesamt sechs Wochen bei Wilhelm Löhe, eine prägende Erfahrung für ihn und seinen späteren Beruf. Nach dem Examen verbrachte er ein Jahr im Predigerseminar Friedberg (1868–1869).

Anschließend war er von Mai 1869 bis August 1870 (wie zuvor Bodelschwingh) als Pastor der deutschen evangelischen Gemeinde in Paris tätig. Wegen des Kriegsbeginns kam er im August 1870 zurück ins Deutsche Reich und wurde Inspektor in den von Heinrich Matthias Sengelmann geleiteten Alsterdorfer Anstalten.

Am 5. September 1872 übernahm Schäfer das Amt des Direktors und Vorstehers der fünf Jahre zuvor gegründeten schleswig-holsteinischen Diakonissen-Anstalt zu Altona. Hier arbeitete er 39 Jahre lang, bis er 1911 in den Ruhestand ging. Drei Jahre später starb er in Rotenburg (Wümme). Er wurde auf dem Altonaer Diakonissenfriedhof neben seiner Frau begraben.

Familie
Sein Vater war der Sozialreformer Johann Peter Schäfer.
Seine Mutter war die Lehrerstochter Henriette ("Jettchen") Anthes aus Lich, (* 6. Oktober 1816 in Erda, † 2. Juni 1899 in Friedberg)

Ende August 1871 heiratete Schäfer Christiane Berg (* 1847 in Kirchheim/Teck). Das Paar hatte drei Kinder, darunter den Theologen und Historiker Ernst Schäfer und den Kirchenmaler Rudolf Schäfer Sie starb im Jahr 1889. Im Jahr 1892 heiratete er Cornelia Maria Siemssen (* 1866 in Hamburg; † 1946).

Werk
Neben der Arbeit in der Diakonissenanstalt setzte Schäfer sich in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Theodor Hoppe, dem Leiter des Oberlin-Hauses in Potsdam, besonders für die Körperbehindertenfürsorge ein. Nach einem Studium der damals schon sehr viel weiter ausgebauten "Krüppelfürsorge" in Dänemark führte er 1897 unter Mitwirkung der Landratsämter in Schleswig-Holstein eine allgemeine Erhebung der Verkrüppelung durch. Dabei wurde festgestellt, dass es in Schleswig-Holstein mindestens 3475 verkrüppelte Erwachsene und 1292 verkrüppelte Kinder unter 16 Jahren gab. Tief erschrocken über diese Zahlen errichtete er schon ein Jahr später, am 2. Oktober 1898, das erste Krüppelheim für Kinder in Schleswig-Holstein (in Altona). Dort waren zunächst 11 Kinder untergebracht; 1901 waren es schon 30. 1902 wurde auf dem Gelände "Alten Eichen" in Stellingen ein Heim für körperbehinderte Kinder und Jugendliche aufgebaut. Von 1899 bis 1909 gab Schäfer das Jahrbuch der Krüppelfürsorge heraus.

Schon vorher entfaltete Schäfer eine rege publizistische Tätigkeit und gab der Diakoniewissenschaft einen Platz innerhalb der Praktischen Theologie. Er gab das Buch Leitfaden der inneren Mission sowie das dreibändige Werk Die weibliche Diakonie, das lange als Standardwerk galt, heraus.

Zusammen mit Johann Samuel Büttner, Hannover, und Emil Wacker, Flensburg, galt er um die Jahrhundertwende als politische Autorität. Er erarbeitete zusammen mit Friedrich Naumann grundlegende sozialpolitische Auffassungen. In allem blieb er jedoch seinem kirchlichen Auftrag verbunden.

Seine Arbeit war gekennzeichnet von der effektiven Kombination aus nüchternem Sachverstand mit methodischer Handlung und glaubensstarkem, leidenschaftlichem Engagement für die "Krüppelarbeit".

Nachtrag
Ein Ausschnitt aus dem Buch der Krüppelfürsorge:

Wie in seinem Buch erwartet wurde die Behindertenfürsorge 1920 durch das Preußische Krüppelfürsorgegesetz vom preußischen Staat gesetzlich geregelt. Es machte die Fürsorge für Körperbehinderte zur Pflichtaufgabe der Landesfürsorgeverbände und gab den Heimen durch die Gewährung staatlicher Pflegegelder eine gesicherte finanzielle Grundlage.

Die Diakonissenanstalt in Altona wurde während des Zweiten Weltkrieges zerstört.

Ehrungen
1897 verlieh die Universität Rostock Schäfer die theologische Ehrendoktorwürde.

Das Theodor-Schäfer-Berufsbildungswerk in Husum trägt seinen Namen, ebenso der Theodor-Schäfer-Damm in Hamburg.
