We still eat with family on Christmas Day. True, I no longer to to midnight or Christmas Day mass. My mother, who is also a Bahá'í stopped giving Christmas presents and only gave Ayyám-i-Há presents, a Bahá'í celebration in February just prior to our Fast and New Year. She does give presents to my brother and his wife who give and receive presents with their other family. I no longer expect Christmas presents or put up a tree, but that is okay.
Keep in mind Christmas as we celebrate it now, merges several holidays, making it convoluted. The primary one, the birth of Jesus, resonates with the Baha'i Faith. We recognize the station of Jesus and all his accomplishments. The Wiccan / Druidic winter solstice, Germanic Yuletide, the Roman Saturnia all are comingled into Christmas. As other faiths like Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto, Islam, Judaism, and even Kwanzaa deal with the surrounding peoples celebrating Christmas, their traditions could trade in and out with Christmas. In the end, the sentiment of giving gifts is a good one, assuming one doesn't go to excess.
The real dilemma ought to be what is the impact of gift giving. Joel Waldfogel, an economist, thinks receivers value gifts less than the giver, causing a loss in value to the economy, so he recommends gift cards. Several Bahá'ís and Christians I know donate to charities instead of gifts.
Walking home from the bus in high school, I saw police cars and officers in front of my house. Their presence made me extremely apprehensive. The only little assurance was my father talking to the officers. Someone broke into the house and stole some of our stuff.
We felt violated. Our own home was unsafe.
At the time however, the people with guns with a tendency to keep their hands near them were much more threatening than some anonymous teen who wanted some quick cash.
Police officers are the good guys.
You've spent almost a full day on a plane or in airports flying from Shanghai to Boston so you are extremely jet-lagged.
(SUGGESTED ADDITION) You picked up the flu while in China (remember Avian Bird Flu?).
Your front door won't open when you get home, so you end up gaining access to the house from the back door. Eventually with help you do get it opened.
This seems like the perfect opportunity to ask questions about Dr. Gates' day to establish something of a rapport to ascertain why he might be so upset. It's not so peculiar when the context is known. I bet if all this had been placed in context at the time, then this would not be front page news.
Its funny what people think about something we take for granted. Brown tap municipal tap water was stated as the reason for drinking bottled water. Is it a corporate v goverment thing? Is it because bottled water is so much more expensive than tap water so it must be better?
Athens-Clarke County Public Utilities Department has a similar report where they list how the water exceeds the EPA standards.
Personally, I would love everyone producing water to publish reports about their water quality with the amounts of detected contaminants listed as is shown in this DASANI analysis example. Too bad its just an example of a typical analysis. Anyone know where the real DASANI quality reports might be found?
A less than convincing point… The list of states with voters reporting a racial bias only well matches the Obama-Clinton difference map because Nate draws the audience to the states he's picking on: Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, and West Virginia (5 hits). He totally ignores the strong race bias in South Carolina, Alaska, Missouri, or Indiana didn't translate into more votes (4 false negatives). Also Wyoming and Oklahoma both had no reported racial bias and voted more against Obama (2 false positives).
CPR/AED training requires time on the floor rescuing dummies. Objects in pockets, like my Digital Elph, interfere with rescuing dummies. Digital cameras on desks without supervision have a tendency to disappear. (Not so much from coworkers kleptomania but from my distractions.) So I put it in my work backpack.
Today is the First Day of Ridvan. So earlyish this morning I went down to the Botanical Garden since I wasn't going to be at work and didn't go this past weekend. I spent ten minutes looking for the Elph in the work backpack. So I went and just shot with the Rebel. I chalked it up to having left the camera at work. After all, the last place I recalled seeing the thing was at work.
I decided to look at what I took. So I looked for the card reader in the main part of the camera backpack. To my surprise, the Elph was right there in the wrong backpack. The only thing that makes sense is I moved the camera but forgot I did so.
Perhaps better brain food could help? Fish providing omega-3 fatty acids is already a healthy part of my diet. Maybe more eggs with choline with the vitamin B precursor could help?

Reuben Brown
When Reuben and Sarah Brown settled on San Pedro Creek in 1834, did they dream their descendants would still have the land 150 years later? Did they know their descendants would gather annually in June, on their land, for Memorial Services at the cemetery where they would be buried? Probably not, but the heritage they gave us lives on and on. We are proud of them: for the courage it took, and the obstacles they overcame, to make their long journey to Texas and the land we love so much. Sarah was the daughter of Elder Daniel Parker. Much about their lives is documented in books, papers, and Bibles, pertaining to the Parker family. They had lived in, and traveled through many states, but in 1830, they lived in Crawford County, Illinois, near Ft. LeMott, which is nowPalestine, Illinois. In the book, "Cynthia Ann Parker", by Grace Jackson, it states: "By 1830, Daniel Parker, eldest son of John Parker, had begun to take over the leadership of the clan. In the fall of 1833, he and James left Illinois to find land in Texas, and organize a Baptist church. They arrived in February 1831; Daniel was anxious to start a church, but the laws of Texas forbade him to do so. He construed the Mexican Colonization laws as forbidding the organizing of any church except the Roman Catholic in Texas, but not prohibiting the immigration of an already organized church. He returned to Illinois and organized his church July 26, 1833, and brought his 40 members to Texas. His family made up the bulk of his congregation. In 1832, the entire membership of the Parker family was ready to move. Twenty four ox-drawn wagons moved not only the Parker clan, but the Baptist church as well. Elder John and his six sons; Daniel, Isaac, James, Silas, Joseph A., and Benjamin. Daniel Parker had five sons: Dickson, Daniel, Benjamin F., Isaac and Kalab, and two sons-in-law, Joseph Kennedy and Reuben Brown, who had married his daughter, Sarah & (sometimes called Sallie). With the Parkers were these families: Browns, Kennedys, Jourdans, and Greenwoods, Lagos, Bennetts and others. Fifteen, seventeen, or even twenty miles a day was not too much over the pleasant grassy flats of Missouri. On rocky land, 5 or 6 miles a day was all they could make. When they reached St. Louis, they bought supplies. They followed the path of the Mississippi
River then crossed Arkansas. On Sundays, all ordinances of the church would be attended: reading the scriptures, preaching, and singing, breaking of bread and receiving members. The family made their way to Louisiana, stopping at Natches, then to Logansport. They crossed the Sabine River, and followed the trail called, Coushatta trace (made by Coushatta Indians in migration and trading). They crossed the Neches River and eventually made their way to the banks of San Pedro Creek, to what is known now as the Refuge Community, or Brown's Bridge area, approximately 5 miles east of Grapeland, and about 1/4 mile north of FM 227E. Here they built a fort of post oak logs, and called it Fort Brown, for Reuben Brown. From here the Parker clan divided. Daniel Parker took his children and went a few miles north to the present day Elkhart in Anderson County. There he established the church he had organized inIllinois and called it "Pilgrim, Predestination Regular Baptist Church" in 1833. Charter members were: Daniel Parker, Phoebe Parker, Patsy Parker, Julious Christy, John Parker, Rachael Christy, and Sarah (Sallie) Parker Brown. It was the first Baptist church in Texas. The first log building was built in 1839. While the other family moved on; some to Elkhart, and others on to the ill-fated Fort Parker, near Grosebeck, Reuben and his wife Sarah, chose to stay behind on San Pedro Creek. Reuben Brown was born in Georgia, around 1800. He lived about 55 years, according to his grave marker. Nothing is known of his life before he married Sarah Parker, other than his place of birth. According to the Parker family Bible, which is now in the Southwestern Seminary Museum in Ft. Worth, Sarah Parker, was born in Dixon County, Tennessee on Turn Bull Creek, February 1, 1807. It also states, she married Reuben Brown on April 13, 1830 in Illinois. We do not know her exact date of death, but her tombstone reads "about 45 years", which means she died about 1852. The Bible also lists the following children born to Reuben and Sarah Brown: Patsy – born June 1, 1831, died June 17, 1834. Louisa -born December 9, 1834. John – born February 22, 1837. Daniel Parker Brown – born March 13, 1839. The first child, Patsy, died en-route to Texas at age 3. The second child, Louisa grew to adulthood, but nothing is known about her, except that she married a Mr. Hartgraves. The third child was my great grandfather, John Brown. According to his obituary, which appeared in the Grapeland Messenger on October 27, 1921, "John Brown was born within one mile of where he died, and where he lived his entire life. His birthplace is known as old Fort Brown. When the Indians made their raid on Fort Parker and captured the now famous Cynthia Ann Parker, the Brown's, together with others occupying Ft. Brown, fearing for their lives, went to the fort at Nacogdoches, remaining there until it was safe for them to return. John Brown was an exconfederate soldier, serving three years with credit in the army of the lost cause. He died October 24, 1921. His first wife was Izziebella Carolina Murchison and his second wife was Mary Lucy Dickey. Nothing is known of Reuben's fourth child, Daniel Parker Brown, who also was born after they had come to Texas. Following the death of Sarah Parker Brown in about 1852, Reuben married Amanda Ross. To this union was born two sons: Jim Brown and Benjamin Brown. Jim's wife was Sudie Allen. Ben Brown never married. All of the Brown's mentioned above are buried at RefugeCemetery. Reuben Brown's name appears in many places of history in early Texas. His name appears on many documents on display at the Old Stone Fort Museum in Nacogdoches. He received a land grant from the Mexican Government, dated November, 1833, which consisted of one league of land (4,428 acres). He later obtained a Headright Claim from the Republic of Texas, dated 1838, for 177 acres. The surveys are located in present Anderson County, near the town of Elkhart. Reuben Brown was also one of the original Petitioners for the creation of Houston County. The petition was dated September 4, 1837. Houston County became the first county in the Republic of Texas. Family legend and perhaps pure speculation has it that Reuben Brown traded the large tract of land he had title to, to Mr. Stephen Rogers. Mr. Rogers had obtained his grant from the Mexican Government also. Fort Brown was located in the Stephen Rogers Survey, Abstract 75. Much of Reuben's land did pass on to his sons, John and Jim. Even today, many of the descendents have that land. Three decedents, Grady Owens, Era Thetford and Nelda Johnson, have been honored by the state of Texas, in the Land Heritage Program, for maintaining the land in the Same family and farming it continuously for over 100 years. On December 18. 1865, John Brown deeded to the county of Houston, 2 acres of the land, for the purpose of a church and school. A one-room school was built, and a church built, and both continued to operate until around 1900. Two early teachers of the school recalled by the late Claude Owens were Miss Nanny Hollingsworth and Mrs. Bannie Rice. On Dec. 2, 1889, Jim Brown, brother of John, deeded to Houston County Judge W. B. Wall, one acre, to be used for cemetery purposes. Of course, there were many graves already there, including Reuben and Sarah. First grave which bears a date in Wm. Murchison, buried 1866. Mary Murchison named the cemetery Refuge. Three known confederate veterans are buried there: John Brown, John Farris and E. T. Allen. Also one State Representative, Wm. Filmore Murchison. Other than being mentioned briefly in several books, little is known or recorded of FortBrown. It was built of post oak logs, for protection from the Indians who roamed San Pedro Creek and Little (Bennett) Creek, and was used from 1833 until around 1860. It was located several hundred yards west of Refuge Cemetery, on land now owned by Mr. Huford Allen. Some of the descendents recall seeing the decaying logs many years ago. Others remember some of the logs being moved to other home sites for construction purposes. Bits of pottery, glass and even utensils have been found at the area over the years.

Q: Selenium.PhantomJS how to run a script to get element which arent in the PhantomJS PageSource of page I'm using PhantomJS to iterate through a web page and get certain values such as the amount of images for a product.
My problem is that the images do not seem to be appearing in the Pagesource and so I am not able to get them.
I think the images only appear if a script is run.
When I inspect the element of the page I can see the following:

However, when I go to PhantomJSDriver and look at the Pagesource they do not exist.
instead there is the following:

I am trying to pick up the images using:
result.ImagesCount = driver.FindElementsByCssSelector("pdp-images.accessibility img").Count;

but as they don't exist in the PhantomJS driver Pagesource this is not possible.
The page I am looking at is the following:

Wrapping Up Migration, Nuts About Numeracy & One Very Sneaky E!
The Whales completed final presentations of their migrating animals this week. We looked at the distances the animals traveled, and looked a little more closely at the migration and hibernation of the monarch butterfly. Whales continued to enjoy the migrating birds game, and told lots of new stories at the migration-themed storytelling table. In atelier, we finished up our migrating birds paintings. They are all so unique and beautiful!
Whales have been stretching their numeracy brains, working hard on growing their understanding of part-part-whole relationships, place value, subtraction, addition and even multiplication! Whales love to practice Mingle Math; we "mingle" around the room until Ms. Ellie calls out, "make 18 elbows" or "make 18 fingers". Whales collaborate, reason, negotiate and create moving math with their bodies...what could possibly be better (or more fun) for busy kindergarteners?!
On Friday, Whales helped Ms. Ellie find her lost set of keys. Just prior to a puppet performance given by Ms. Julie (and special guest Ms. Shelley!) Ms. Ellie realized her keys were missing! Thank goodness the Whales were there to help Ms. Ellie by writing down all the "clues" that appeared in the puppet show. Whales watched as the Sneaky E changed clues like pin to pine, rip to ripe, her to here, and so on. In the end, we discovered that the Sneaky E was the one who took Ms. Ellie's keys! As a Whale friend said, "Well, at least now we know that that old Sneaky E just can't be trusted!" Indeed!

On this International Day of Older Persons we should celebrate what the generations share rather than what divides us and learn from each other says Financial Services Council CEO Peter Neilson.
The Financial Services Council has undertaken extensive polling on what a good retirement in New Zealand currently looks like and will look like in the future. It will be releasing these findings over the next year.
"The results show different generations agree much more than disagree on some important issues," said Mr Neilson.
For example, some 65% of all New Zealanders over 18 believe New Zealand Superannuation alone is insufficient for a comfortable retirement. For those already retired 78% say New Zealand Superannuation alone is insufficient for a comfortable retirement. New Zealand Superannuation for a single person living alone is $374.53 a week after tax and for a couple where both partners qualify is $576.20 a week after tax.
"Older New Zealanders already living on NZ Super know you need to save if you are to achieve a comfortable retirement. Most future retirees will have some KiwiSaver savings to fund a better retirement.
"Overseas research has revealed most retirees regret not having received more education and not having saved more for their retirement. Younger New Zealanders should take the time to ring your grandparents today," concluded Mr Neilson.
Also released today by the FSC is the first ever report on who helps the over 65s and how.
This care ranged from "general care" including visiting, talking, providing meals and having people to stay, to more intensive work sometimes on a live in basis doing household chores, taking them shopping, cooking meals or providing personal care.
See the attached Who Helps the Over 65s in New Zealand and How. This is an extract from the Horizon Research Financial Future report August 2015.

Q: Terraform fails to create AWS Route53 record, but I can create it manually? Terraform v0.12.x
I'm trying to create a Route53 record with this script, which aims to create an A record that's aliased to an ALB.
data "aws_route53_zone" "mycompany_com" {
  name         = "mycompany.com."
  private_zone = true
}

resource "aws_route53_record" "jenkins_master_green" {
  zone_id = data.aws_route53_zone.mycompany_com.zone_id
  name    = "jenkins-green.${data.aws_route53_zone.mycompany_com.name}"
  type    = "A"
  alias {
    name = aws_lb.jenkins_master_green.dns_name
    zone_id = data.aws_route53_zone.mycompany_com.zone_id
    evaluate_target_health = false
  }
}

The plan shows the correct values I expect
$ terraform plan -out out.output

But when I apply the plan I get
$ terraform apply out.output
aws_route53_record.jenkins_master_green: Creating...

Error: [ERR]: Error building changeset: InvalidChangeBatch: [Tried to create an alias that targets <redacted>.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com., type A in zone <redacted>, but the alias target name does not lie within the target zone, Tried to create an alias that targets <redacted>.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com., type A in zone <redacted>, but that target was not found]
    status code: 400, request id: 2cf7384d-fa16-4828-854b-ea3e56cc0754

If I go to the AWS Route53 console, I can create the record. What am I missing?

A: Try using zone_id from aws_lb.jenkins_master_green
data "aws_route53_zone" "mycompany_com" {
  name         = "mycompany.com."
  private_zone = true
}

resource "aws_route53_record" "jenkins_master_green" {
  zone_id = data.aws_route53_zone.mycompany_com.zone_id
  name    = "jenkins-green.${data.aws_route53_zone.mycompany_com.name}"
  type    = "A"
  alias {
    name                   = aws_lb.jenkins_master_green.dns_name
    zone_id                = aws_lb.jenkins_master_green.zone_id
    evaluate_target_health = false
  }

Installed the new software this moring and still no IP's are blocked. Updates are downloaded and have the paid the monies to iblock. But nothing is being blocked.
Software is stil not operating correctly.
Could you add your .conf and .log files so we could have a proper look at what might be wrong? Thank you.
> could have a proper look at what might be wrong?
Exactially where are these log files?
Please note that the requested .conf file contains your iblocklist username/pin information in them. If you're going to post them, please make sure you write down your username/pin first, then delete that information from your PeerBlock 'Settings 1' tab, then save your config, before sharing it with others. You can re-enter that information after uploading the file.
Here's MissMax's peerblock.log and the incomplete .conf. The .conf file is missing some lines for some reason, but that might be because it was copy-pasted into a PM. The problem seems to persist even with a clean .conf.
I couldn't see anything that could explain the problem in them, can you guys?
Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 01/10/2014 02:39PM by Keefa.
Hm, I don't see anything jumping out at me here. Very strange.
First off let's see if we can characterize the problem a bit better.
Q1: If you run through the How do I know PeerBlock is working? steps, what do you see?
Q2: If you click on the "View History" button on PeerBlock's "Protection" tab, then look at the "Blocked" tab in the window that pops up, do you see anything in there?
Q3: If you look in your C:\Program Files\PeerBlock folder, do you have a file called "history.db" in there? If so, what size is it?
Q4: In the Protection tab, do you see 10 or so IP addresses showing as Allowed, and then a message saying "Stopped displaying allowed packets, for performance reasons"...?
I'm wondering if the problem is that it isn't working, or if it's just having a problem displaying the blocked IP addresses in the window. I can see a message in the logs that it's "Stopping default Allowed Packet logging", which we should only see if PeerBlock was correctly able to filter traffic.
Q8: Any other security software that you're running?
These sorts of information might help spark a theory about what could be going wrong, or worst-case scenario could help us build a pattern should someone else report a similar problem.
Again, I apologize for the fact that you're experiencing this issue. Thank you for the opportunity to help troubleshoot it.


Even in the era of the "paperless office," there are still plenty of industries that rely heavily on printed outputs.

Brass in Concert Championships 2001: Spennymoor Awaits the Entertainers
The Spennymoor Leisure Centre on Sunday 18th November sees the last major contest of the year, when 11 top bands take part in the UK's premier Entertainment Contest – The Brass In Concert Championships.
Although not all the top bands in the country are in attendance (there are no ticks in the register this year for YBS, Brighouse, Williams Fairey, Buy As You View Cory, Tredegar plus those perennial absentees, Black Dyke), there is still enough quality on stage to make ensure the contest's status as the top entertainment show in the country. Started in 1977 it is now in it's silver jubilee year 25 years later.
This year sees a line up of (in playing order) DUT Yorkshire Imperial Rothwell, Kirkintilloch, Leyland, Ransomes, Ever Ready, Fodens, Todmorden Old, Sellers International, Grimethorpe, Besses O' th' Barn and Carlton Main. Pretty good value in anyone's book and bands that all can show off in all sorts of ways to try and catch the ears of the adjudicators Geoffrey Whitham and Nigel Boddice, whilst the soloists will have to try and impress Jim Davies.
Plenty of prizes on offer, from a trophy for the youngest player on the day to one for the best new arrangement or composition to one for the neatest package of musical scores and notes. That's entertainment Folks!
The usual points will be up for grabs as well with 200 points on offer for the music itself and 60 for entertainment and presentation, to give a winning score out of 260. As usual there will be plenty of debate about the latter as last year Grimethorpe wion the music section by 2 clear points from eventual winners Fodens and by 4 from second placed Leyland and still came 3rd.
Thankfully however, we'll be spared we hope the awful spectacle of sweaty overweight men prancing about into tutu's or imported Irish dancers falling over their own feet whilst trying to do a passable impression of Michael Flatley on speed. Thanks must go to Roy Newsome and the bands themselves for agreeing that making complete fools of themselves in the name of entertainment should be the preserve of "The Generation Game" and not brass band bass players.
Still, there should be plenty of standing up, putting on funny hats, loads of untuneful singing etc. However, there will hopefully be some pretty brilliant exponents of the art of brass instrument playing as well, and it will take some player to top Glyn Williams effort with Fodens last year when he managed to play more instruments than Roy Castle in a series of "Record Breakers". The quality of the soloists on offer will be an undoubted highlight, whilst the number of new arrangements of fairly obscure orchestral pieces will again show the poverty of our own brass band repertoire. Spennymoor awaits the entertainers – lets hope none get paid off.
The Competing Bands:
DUT Yorkshire Imperial Rothwell
4BR Ranking: 23
Conductor: David Evans
Spennymoor Record Overall:
Best Result: Winners 1995. Second place – 1981, 1985. Third place – 1984, 1986. Fourth place – 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992. Fifth place – 1987, 1990, 1997. Sixth place – 1994. Unplaced – 1993, 1996, 1998, 1999.
Worst Result: 12th place 1999.
Last 5 years: 2000 – DNE: 1999 – 12th: 1998 – 9th: 1997 – 5TH: 1996 – 8TH.
2001 Form Guide: Area - 7th: Masters - 6th: Open - 14th: Nationals - DNQ.
2001 has been something of a year of recovery for "The Imps" which had seen them start off in some uncertain style when they parted company with Thomas Wyss after the Areas where they came 7th. David Evans was brought in to great effect however and the Masters saw them come home in 6th place with Roy Newsome actually giving them the top spot. It wasn't that good but it did herald the start of the recovery proper. The Open saw further realistic entrenchment in 14th place so they won't be short on confidence.
A good record at the contest, which saw them first compete as far back as 1982 and they had a very consistent record until they took the title in 1995 under Alan Exely. The following years saw them drop back a bit as form and players left and they dropped out in 2000. A welcome return then.
Conductor: Allan Ramsey
Appearances: 0
Best Result:
Worst Result:
Last 5 years:
2001 Form Guide: Area – 5th: Open – 16th: National – DNQ: Grand Shield – 1st: Troon – 1st: Whitburn – 3rd.
What a fine end to a fine year for the Scottish band that for so long had been held in the shadows by the two heavyweights north of the border – CWS and Whitburn. The Area was a bit of a damp squib to start the year, but what a recovery after a fine performance at the Grand Shield upset the apple cart and many more fancied bands to see them take the title and the chance to compete at the Open.
A decent showing there led them on to win the controversial Troon contest a few months back, but a disappointing 3rd place at the recent Whitburn contest may have dented the confidence a bit coming into this one. Allan Ramsey has a good team to work with and by all accounts they put up a very interesting entertainment show. Whether this could be enough on their debut remains to be seen though. Summon the Heroes?
4BR Ranking: 8
Conductor: Richard Evans
Best Result: Winners – 1989, 1991, 1992, 1997. Second place – 1984, 1993, 1998, 2000. Third place – 1982, 1983, 1988, 1994, 1999. Fourth place – 1985, 1987, 1995. Fifth place – 1986.
Worst Result: 5th place 1986.
Last 5 years: 2000 – 2nd: 1999 – 3rd: 1998 – 2nd: 1997 – 1st: 1996 – DNE.
2001 Form Guide: Area – 3rd: Masters – 13th: Open – 9th: National – 6th.
2001 has been the year of the return of the Leyland band as a true competing force at National level contesting following a dismal couple of years when things seemed to be teetering on the edge of extinction. That may sound harsh, especially as their record is virtually second to none here, but at both the Open and the Nationals in 1999 they seemed to had become a spent force.
The players and committee have rallied to fine effect and their form at the Area and the National this year confirmed their return in full. Still - they can be a bit wobbly at times (such as the Masters) but on their day they are one of the most enterprising and scintillating entertainment outfits around. Garry Cutt has done most of the hard graft on the contest stage, but for these occasions there is only one man that can do the biz with them – Tricky Dicky. He makes another return like a latter day Frank Sinatra and will most probably be just as good. Come fly with me indeed. Leyland are back in town.
The Ransome Band
Conductor: Russell Gray
Best Result: 5th place – 2000. Sixth place – 1998, 1999. Unplaced – 1977, 1978, 1979.
Last 5 years: 2000 – 5th: 1999 – 6th: 1998 – 6th: 1997 – DNE: 1996 – DNE.
2001 Form Guide: Area - 4th: Masters – 8th: Open – DNQ: National – 13th: European – 8th.
2001 has been something of a year of entrenchment for Ransomes. The National of 2000 heralded them in as a force to be reckoned with, but they have shown that they are no flash in the pan merchants with solid if unspectacular performances wherever they have played this year. The Area saw them be a little complacent as the threat of not qualifying for the Nationals was taken from them but they returned to form at the Masters with a fine 8th place and where one of the judges had them as high as 4th. The added bauble of the European saw them perform without a little luck and the trip cost them the chance to get back into the Open. The Nationals however saw them perform well to come 13th in a strong field.
Not the greatest of track records at the contest with only a 5th place last year as their best, but it must be added that in the last three years they have never been out of the prizes. Perhaps some added entertainment spice to match their good playing could see them come even higher.
Ever Ready
Conductor: Stephen Roberts
Best Result: 4th place – 1977. Fifth place – 1978, 1983. Sixth place – 1984. Unplaced – 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000.
Last 5 years: 2000 – 7th: 1999 – 11th: 1998 – 7th: 1997 – 11th: 1996 – 10th.
2001 Form Guide: Area – 3rd: Masters – 7th: Open – 12th: National – DNQ: Grand Shield – 2nd.
The only band on show to have played at all the Spennymoor contests, Ever Ready can be said to have been more ever present than ever successful on their own front door. A best of 4th in the first year is the best they have done, and for the most part they have found themselves in the lower reaches of the prize list. Stephen Roberts however is no stranger to the contest and has a fine track record of bringing interesting new arrangements and compositions to light here. This could well do the band a favour.
Ever Ready are a band on the up at the present, even though the year started somewhat disastrously with them missing out on their annual pilgrimage to the Nationals. The Grand Shield saw them display great character under Ray Farr to secure a long awaited return to the Open, where they performed with vigour and style to come home a well-deserved 12th. In between they put up a superb effort in coming 7th at the Masters and showed that on their day they could very well mix it with the big boys. They will need more of that at Spennymoor to make a better mark than last years encouraging 7th place.
Fodens
Conductor: Ray Farr
Best Result: Winners – 1987, 1988, 1990, 1998, 2000. Second place – 1996, 1997, 1999. Third place – 1991. Fourth place – 1983, 1984. Sixth place – 1986.
Last 5 years: 2000 – 1st: 1999 – 2nd: 1998 – 1st: 1997 – 2nd: 1996 – 2nd.
2001 Form Guide: Area – 2nd: Masters – 4th: Open – 7th: National – 2nd.
What an amazing year for the band from Sandbach. Never has a band had so much publicity, good wishes and general support in a year that in fact has seen them not actually win anything. This is mainly because lady luck has certainly not smiled in their direction. The Open and Nationals saw them give two of the most musical performances heard for many a long year at the venues, but still they came away with only hard luck. 4th at the Masters is a fine result for many bands, but for Fodens it marked possibly their worse performance for a long time at a major contest. They've had plenty of upheavals of late and have used their fair share of stickmen into the bargain, but they are a class act nonetheless.
A fine record in Spennymoor in surprisingly only 12 outings here over the years and with 5 wins and 3 seconds and a third place in their last 9 performances here, shows how good they are at the entertainment format. Last year was no exception, with a programme of well thought out and brilliantly executed music under the baton of Ray Farr that featured euphonium player Glyn Williams tour de force virtuoso performance. You never know what we might get from the duo this year. Watch out.
Todmorden Old
Conductor: Dennis Hadfield
Best Result: 9th – 2000.
Worst Result: As above.
Last 5 years: 2000 – 9th.
2001 Form Guide: Area – 6th: Masters – 16th: Open – 11th: National – DNQ.
A year of solid achievement for Todmorden Old amid internal squabbles and rumblings that could have sunk many a band into the mire. Hopefully that's all behind the hard working outfit now and they will approach Spennymoor after a year in which they have performed with merit wherever they have played. The Area saw them put up a fine showing to come 6th in perhaps the strongest Area contest in the country, whilst the Open saw another solid and workmanlike performance that secured them 11th – ahead of many other more fancied bands. The Masters was the one disappointment and to be fair it was a day at the office that they would rather forget.
A very hard working band, they have in Dennis Hadfield a man who asks for and usually gets 100% commitment. Last year was their debut at the contest and they came 9th so this year they shouldn't be fazed and could well improve.
Sellers International
Conductor: Philip McCann
Best Result: Third place – 1992: Fifth place – 1993, 1999. Sixth place – 2000. Unplaced – 1991, 1996, 1997, 1998.
Worst Result: 9th place – 1996.
Last 5 years: 2000 – 6th: 1999 – 5th: 1998 – 8th: 1997 – 7th: 1996 – 9th.
2001 Form Guide: Area – 12th: Masters – 15th: Open – DNQ: National – DNQ: Grand Shield – 4th.
The return to Sellers of Phillip McCann is seen by many to have been long overdue; especially as he was somewhat shamefully treated there the last time he had the baton. Sellers owe him much as he had taken the band to very nearly the very top of the contesting tree before they parted company. 3rd place in 1992 has been their best effort so far, but that was under his control and his return could well see the band start returning to those happier days.
2001 then could end on a better note; as for the most part it has been a year of immense disappointment. The Area was a disaster, as was the Masters and the Grand Shield for that matter, where 4th place in a not very strong field heralded the start of the end for Alan Exely. The start of the McCann second term though could be well worth listening out for, especially as they have secured the arranging skills of Andy Duncan to fall back on.
Grimethorpe Colliery UK Coal
Conductor: Garry Cutt
Best Result: Winners – 1977, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1983, 1986, 1993, 1994, 1999. Second place – 1978, 1982, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1995. Third place – 1985, 1987, 1990, 2000. Fourth place - 1996.
Last 5 years: 2000 – 3rd: 1999 – 1st: 1998 – DNE: 1997 – DNE: 1996 – 4th.
2001 Form Guide: Area – 4th: Open – 4th: National – DNQ.
What a record eh? 9 wins, 7 seconds and a worst performance in 21 attempts of 4th. No one but no one has done so much to develop the entertainment contest into a near art form as Grimethorpe, and their reputation as Kings of the format is well deserved.
In addition they have shown that all the hype of the ludicrous "Brassed Off" stuff has not affected them on the serious contest stage either and in Garry Cutt they have one of the very best MD's in business. 2001 has proved the fact with superb performances at both the Area (where they were a little unlucky not to qualify for the Nationals) and the Open where Garry Cutt moulded a cracker of a show on Les Preludes. They also have some of the most talented players around the stand and their celluloid experiences have certainly given a few of them the thespian tendency to show off their acting talents on the Spennymoor stage. We are sure they will try and out do the opposition again both in the playing and entertainment departments – so don't say we didn't warn you.
Besses O' th' Barn
Conductor: Gareth Pritchard
Best Result: 4th place 1993: Fifth place – 1984, 1985. Sixth place – 1977, 1982. Unplaced – 1979, 1980, 1981, 1983, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995, 1999, 2000.
Worst Result: 11th in 1991 and 1994.
Last 5 years: 2000 – 10th: 1999 – 9th: 1998 – DNE: 1997 – DNE: 1996- DNE.
2001 Form Guide: Area – 6th: Masters – 10th: Open – DNQ: National – DNQ: Grand Shield – 11th: Pontins – 15th: Yeovil – 8th.
A real mixed year for Besses in 2001 and Spennymoor sees them fresh from the disappointment of gaining 15th spot in a very average field in Pontins. Besses are a very good band on their day, but 2001 has not seen too many of them for their liking. The Area showed promise and the Masters reinforced their progress under Gareth Pritchard, but since then it's been a series of major down turns both at the Grand Shield and Pontins and it will take some effort from the band to recover against this strong field.
Gareth Pritchard has a quality team of players around the stand, and some are well worth watching (please refer to Pontins report) and last year they performed with merit off the number one spot to come home 10th. A worthy if unspectacular run of 20 attempts has seen them come only as high as 4th nearly ten years ago, and Gareth Pritchard could open his goody box of quality arrangements to take a few more scalps, but most probably it will be another day down at the bottom end of a high quality field.
Carlton Main Frickley
Conductor: Paul Andrews
Best Result: 4th place – 1979, 1982: Unplaced – 1977, 1978, 1980, 1981, 1983, 1984.
Worst Result: 10th place 1978 and 1980.
Last 5 years: First appearance since 1984.
2001 Form Guide: Area – 10th: Masters – 3rd: Open – 17th: National – DNQ.
Carlton Main makes a welcome return to the contest for the first time since the year of the Miners Strike in 1984. That was a year that everyone in the coalfields did well to survive and Carlton Main themselves went through many lows before 1999 saw them back to winning ways when they won the Grand Shield and returned to the Open. Since then they have maintained the progress under the baton of John Hinckley and the highlight of this years campaigns was undoubtedly their 3rd place at the Masters where the three judges placed them 2nd, 4th and 10th. The Open saw them fall back a bit to come home 17th, but they have the ability to play well above themselves on the day and take more than a few notable scalps.
Paul Andrews takes the baton for their first foray into the premier entertainment contest, and it will be something of a baptism of fire for all concerned. Whether they perform above expectations we will have to wait and see, but it's a joy to report that one of the most famous names in the banding world has made it back.
4br prediction:
Entertainment Contests are notoriously hard to predict as on their day any of the bands could literally draw a white rabbit out of the hat and give the audience and judges alike a feast of entertainment last bettered only on "Opportunity Knocks".
What we will get is hard to say as the novelty items have thankfully been struck a blow by a combination of common sense and good taste by Roy Newsome and the bands themselves. As we said, there is no accounting for taste – especially when any remnant of it has been thrown out of the bloody window by dressing up in silly clothes, juggling jelly or generally making an arse of oneself in the cause of gaining an extra point or two off the entertainment judges. Until the scoring system is properly sorted out, then we are afraid someone is going to make themselves look a complete plonker come Sunday night – and for what?
The best bands always sound the best bands whatever they play. It's in the quality of the sound, the production, the musicianship – not in the tutu's and red noses
There will be some brilliant solo playing that will entertain the audience royally and some arrangements and compositions that will do the same. Why do we need the amateur dramatics then?
Thus we think that the best bands will come out on top – and the best bands for us are the ones who have shown their class all year on whatever contest stage. Therefore we plumb for Grimethorpe closely followed by Fodens and Leyland to fill the top three places on the podium, with Sellers, Ransomes and Todmorden filling the other places. Our dark horse we think could well be Yorkshire Imps.
Dark Horses: DUT Yorkshire Imperial Rothwell.
Last Years Result:


Tasted at home out of a snifter. Espolon reposado is a great value. I really love the aroma on this one. THat was my favorite part. That being said, however, this is a reposado that doesnt over impress, but doesnt dissapoint. At $24, this reposado is a great value.
Aroma: A nice comlex nose of pepper, vanilla, cinnamon, and agave. Wow!
Initial Taste: A semi oily mouth feel, a sweet entry with no bitterness. Initial taste of slight vsnillsa.
Body: A simple body of agave smoke, and cinnamon.
Finish: A slightly heated finish of short duration with a woody agave lingering.

A good workout: students, families get in their weekly exercise
By Kelly Sullivan
Sunday, April 10, 2016 8:08pm
NewsSchools
Among the throngs of Connections Home School Program students scattered and scampering across the floor of the Kenai Recreation Center gymnasium Tuesday, March 29, were a few faces who were likely to have been long graduated from any primary or secondary educational institutions.
Parents were joining in their children's workouts during the school's regular exercise program, which has been held weekly for the first time since the start of the year.
"Every Tuesday, rain or shine, we are going to be here consistently," said Shelli Furlong, a Connections teacher, who runs the workouts with her coworker Mark Wackler.
Some days as many as 45 participants show up, for targeted strength training, games, free gym time, or to try new activities like Zumba or yoga with guest coaches.
The response has been overwhelming, she said.
It has also been exciting to watch the students' progress, and major improvements can be seen in only a few short weeks, Furlong said.
DeeAnn Steffensen volunteers and sometimes joins in, so her son Daniel, 7, can attend.
"He will tell you it's his favorite part of the week," Steffensen said, as her son stood beside her watching his peers run laps around the gym.
It is a chance for students to try things they wouldn't otherwise be exposed to, Steffensen said.
She said it is a great time to see other Connections families, and teaches them the ins and outs of physical activity, which should be considered an essential part of a child's education.
"You can have one without the other but it is not going to be a positive thing for the kids," Steffensen said.
Steffensen sometimes hits the mats with Daniel, which Principal Richard Bartolowits said is one of the most enriching parts of the weekly program.
Students have gone skiing and hiking with some of the instructors, and, Steffensen added, ice fishing.
"So often we tell the kids to try something new," Bartolowits said. "If they see us trying something new, until they do, it is not quite as meaningful."
He said the class is not graded and the kids can put acquired credits toward their physical education requirements.
Laura Burke also tries to set that example. She attends, usually with all 11 children in tow, every week. She said when the kids first heard about the workouts at the start of the school year, they were all immediately on board.
"We have been having to schedule doctors appointments around it so they don't interfere with the group," Burke said.
She said it has been a place for her kids to spend time with other students and pick up a few new techniques along the way.
By participating in this context her family is learning sportsmanship and the importance of getting in good exercise.
James Boyd, 12, said while the physical activity is a bonus, it is even better coupled with the social opportunities. He was quick to list the new friends he has met this year thanks to the new program.
He said he most enjoys the free gym hour kids are given for the second half of the two-hour workout, and keeps coming back because all the added elements make the experience consistently enjoyable.

My Life as a Nun: A Journey of Self-Acceptance
with Ven. Thubten Damcho
Sunday, 8 January
3-4:30 PM (Singapore Time)
Singaporean by birth, Ven. Thubten Damcho met the Dharma in the U.S. through the Buddhist Students' Group at Princeton University, from which she graduated in 2006. On her return to Singapore, she took refuge at Kong Meng San Phor Kark See (KMSPKS) Monastery where she served as a Sunday school teacher. Struck by the aspiration to ordain, she attended a novitiate retreat in the Theravada tradition in 2007. In 2008, she attended an eight-precepts retreat in Bodhgaya, India and a Nyung Ne retreat in Kathmandu, Nepal.
After meeting Ven. Chodron in Singapore in 2008, Ven. Damcho was further inspired to pursue a monastic life. She attended the one-month course at Kopan Monastery in 2009 and visited Sravasti Abbey for 2 weeks in 2010. She was shocked to discover that monastics did not live in blissful retreat, but worked extremely hard! Confused about her aspirations, she took refuge in her job in the Singapore civil service, where she served as a high school English teacher and a public policy analyst.
Offering service as Ven. Chodron's attendant in Indonesia in 2012 was a wake-up call. After attending the Exploring Monastic Life Program, Ven. Damcho quickly moved to the Abbey to train as an anagarika in December 2012. She was ordained on October 2, 2013.

Zane Trace student inspired by the school's aviation class attends Air Camp in Dayton
Toria Barnhart
Chillicothe Gazette
KINNIKINNICK — When Isaac Thorton was a toddler, he used to point out planes flying in the sky but it wasn't until he attended the Dayton Air Show a few years later that he developed a keen interest in aeronautics. In some regard, that passion would later lead to the creation of an aviation class at Zane Trace High School.
Taught by his mom, Sarah, an information technologies satellite instructor through Pickaway-Ross Career and Technology Center, the school offered the first-ever class this past school year. What he learned in the rural classroom further inspired Isaac, so in June he traveled to Dayton to attend Air Camp, a hands-on STEM program, which also opened to high school students for the first time.
"I know how much Isaac loves aviation and we thought other kids might be interested, too," Sarah said.
There were 18 students enrolled in the course and they covered everything from the earliest history of flying to space travel and the future of technology. Quickly, it became one of Sarah's favorite classes to teach.
Whenever possible, the students worked outside and the majority of the learning was immersive. Beyond the foundations of the course, the biggest skills they gained were related to teamwork and communication.
During one activity, students were tasked with landing a "spaceship" on a "space station" using string and other materials yet groups weren't working facing each other. Another time, teams were asked to create a vacuum chamber that would allow someone to survive on Mars, meaning it was airtight, using limited resources.
As they completed other challenges over the years, Sarah said there was clear growth in her students.
The conclusion of the class inspired Isaac to seek out other aviation opportunities and he applied to attend Air Camp in Dayton. He previously applied when he was in eighth grade but didn't make the cut. This year the camp opened to sophomores, juniors and seniors with Isaac selected to participate.
Over the three-day camp, the youth learned about types of satellites and programs, cybersecurity, robotics, aeronautical manufacturing, material testing, GPS, and health care as well as aeronautical navigation and engineering.
Throughout various activities, the kids were able to fly drones, solder materials and participate in simulations at Clark State University, Wright State University Sinclair College, and Greene County Career Center. On the last day, Isaac fulfilled a childhood wish when he piloted an airplane under the direction of a certified instructor at Greene County Airport.
"It was amazing and easier than I expected," he said. "I didn't feel nerves, just excited."
Isaac believes aviation should be taught in all schools because of how rapidly growing and innovative the technology is. But beyond that, it helps youth develop critical-thinking and problem-solving skills as well as gain knowledge in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math.
In the future, Isaac hopes to use his knowledge by joining the United States Air Force to become a fighter pilot. Until then, he'll get by on the aviation classes at Zane Trace — which will be returning in the fall.
