last weekend Sue and I ventured with the Kent and Sussex Auto Camping Club to Wateringbury in North Kent for a weekend away even though we had just got back from the Midlands. We set up by the river for a fantastic weekend watching the boats go by. Wild Lupins on the bank. Quick wave from the lady on the boat. In the afternoon it was time for Annie the Springer Spaniel to have a cool off. Once dried off by her master Robert she dosed off in the camper van.(love the eyelashes) Talking of dogs this is Scruff who has just recovered from being poorly. Back for one last look at the river. String of Symbol Motorhomes in a line separate from the caravans. Ours is the front one with Robert, Yvonne and their dogs in the middle with Adrianne at the end. Part of the evenings decorations, this one by Yvonne. Lastly at the end of the evening a sunset. Thanks for looking, luv Mike Ah what a lovely peaceful week end....love the doggies and the sunset ! hugs Chris and Dave R xxxxx Love the multiple Winnies!?!
Bilberry Cheesecake OK, I know I called them blueberries when we picked them and blueberries when I baked them in muffins but they are in fact bilberries. They are distinct but very similar and it is usually easier to call them blueberries as people know what you talking about then, especially when cooking and eating with them, but just to be pedantic I’ll call them bilberries today. Here’s what good old Wikipedia has to say on the subject Bilberry (especially Vaccinium myrtillus) is also known in English by other names including blaeberry /ËˆbleÉªbÉ›ri/, whortleberry /ËˆhÉœrtÉ™lbÉ›ri/, English, which are in the separate section Cyanococcus of the Vacciniumgenus. Anyway, enough on the biological provenance of the berries, they are little purple balls of sweetness and we had lots of them. I’d also been wanting to make a cheesecake for a while, so why not a bilberry cheesecake? Having not made one before I decided to follow a recipe and liked the look of one by Mark Hix – Mark Hix’s Blueberry Cheesecake. Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 10 minutes, plus 2-3 hours chilling timeYou will need 450g blueberries, hulled 200g caster sugar 200ml water 20g cornflourFor the base: 250g digestive biscuits or Hobnobs 80g butter, meltedFor the filling: 300ml double cream 100g caster sugar 500g cream cheese, such as Philadelphia Finely grated zest of 1 lemon 1 tsp vanilla extract The Recipe As you can see from the recipe it says that it serves 4 people, however, as soon as I saw the list of ingredients it was clear that this was going to be more than enough for far more people than that. It has almost a whole packet of hobnob biscuits for the base for a start and then with 500g of Philadelphia and 300ml of double cream, there’s plenty here for at least 12 portions, if not 16. All I can say is that if Mark Hix would divide this little beauty of a cheesecake into 4 portions then I like the sound of that and may just have to visit one of his restaurants! It was pretty easy to make though. I only used about 200g of bilberries rather than the 450g that he suggests. Bilberries do have a stronger taste than blueberries but even so, once they were made into a sticky syrup there was loads of it and more than enough to use some to colour and marble the cheesecake filling with plenty left over to make a rich decadent sauce to spoon over the top of it ready to eat. The sauce has some fresh, uncooked bilberries in it that provide a little burst of tartness as they explode in your mouth. I have to admit that I do like cheesecakes but tend to go for more substantial cakes when I get the chance. I really shouldn’t though as they are delicious and this one is no different. Trouble is, there’s quite a lot of it there to share between just Anna and myself and it won’t keep for long. On ttop of that we have Bilberry Muffins to finish off as well as some Honey and Polenta cake, and what’s more I’ve just polished off 6 pieces of various types of cake and flan at a Beekeeping meeting! Morgan in his foolishness won’t even try it – he doesn’t know what he’s missing!).

I'm compiling evidence as we speak. Sorry real life had to happen or i'd have it done. I've posted a couple of the problems already on amazon.on page 17 the book says the priest messengers had to wait for a "suitably impressive" transport to bring the message to Jessica that Paul was dead and that was why it took a month for the message to be delivered. on page 32 the book says they took the "first available vessel" to bring the message. can i get an official response on this inconsistency?

Nor is it the evidence of the collusion that The Dukester claimed was a FACTon a public forum. No one is disputing that Amazon has removed reviews. Fact checked. Now where is the evidence that makes this a FACT? SC, Maybe you should explain to The Dukester about what Evidence and Fact mean… I'm sorry, but assuming that Arrakis, the Imperial seat, and the sole location of the most important resource in the galaxy gets visited about once per month by a Guild Heighliner is categorically retarded. Transportation in Winds of Dune is a major point of contention: its quite obvious that KJA doesn't care about how the system would work, he's going to write the system around how the story works, even when it totally contradicts not only his own system but the logic of a space-faring society. He obviously cannot grasp the Guild's monopoly on travel, nor the travel times. Chew on these and get back to me with a response. Answers from Winds will not suffice, you need to think about why these questions matter in the sense of Dune Canon and simple common sense. Why does Shaddam know about Paul's Death before Jessica? Why does Jessica not know Chani is pregnant? Why are all of the Female characters, even Royals and Regents forced to use public landing zones when male characters can take off from the Palace landing pad? Why is security in nuDune a complete joke? How are Paul and Bronso hiding on the Cargo lander for "several hours" and then on the Heighliner and gone before anyone notices? Why do the Bene Gesseritt not care at all that Young Paul has gone missing? Why does the Guild punish Paul and Bronso for attempting (and in Bronso's case succeeding) to see a Navigator with exile to the Jongleur troop? Why do House Atredies and House Vernius (sic) take so long to find their heirs. Why does Leto punish Paul only by sending him to his room to think about his actions. Why does a planetary governor pardon and release Jongleur dancers when Paul knows they are assassins who tried to assassinate said governor?
So when are we going to deal with the serious public health crisis resulting from homosexual behavior? Not only are homosexual men dying of AIDS, "bisexual" men are spreading new diseases to females. And the cost in suffering to those in the lifestyle is also largely kept quiet. But we hear little about this in the mainstream press. One reason the radical homosexual agenda has progressed so quickly is that no one--not even MassResistance--wants to talk or think about the perverted behavior of anal intercourse, or the incredible promiscuity in the "gay" lifestyle. We have all averted our eyes, given the homosexuals the "privacy of their own bedrooms" (or public restrooms?). But we must get serious about the diseases spreading to the larger society, and the costs we are all absorbing for HIV/AIDS patient care. Now we are hearing about increasing drug problems in the homosexual community. The Boston homosexual newspaper, Bay Windows, is very concerned about the crystal meth crisis. See "Our silence about crystal is killing us", Guest Opinion 2/3/05: ." Also, a new "rare sex disease" has appeared in New York City among the homosexual population. As NewsMax reported (Feb. 2, 2005) : "[T]he strain is the same as that recently detected in Europe, the city's health commissioner said Wednesday. Lymphogranuloma venereum, or LGV, is a form of chlamydia that can damage the bowels and scar the anus... 'We know LGV increases the risk of the spread of HIV because it causes ulcers and bleeding,' [the city's health commissioner] said....Unprotected anal intercourse is the key risk factor for the spread of LGV."

Hong Kong Summer Spectacular with HKTB – Day 1 of 6 On my first day in Hong Kong (HK), upon arriving at the Hong Kong International Airport, we were quickly ferried to our hotel by coach. The hotel we stayed at is called The Mira Hotel. The Mira is very centrally located in Tsim Sha Tsui (尖沙咀), the heart of HK’s commercial, shopping, dining and entertainment district. There are railway stations and a ferry terminal, all located within walking distance from the hotel. The contemporary hotel lounge where we waited for check-in A service staff came and served us small cones with cream – he must be shocked by the number of camera flashes going off If you are frequent reader of my blog, you will know that I am mostly a budget traveler in order to stretch and maximise my dollars to visiting more places, rather than spend on luxury. The Mira hotel was really a vast change for me. Newly refurbished, the rooms all come with handpicked fabrics and materials, giving a modern, fun, yet classy feel. You can read more about the hotel via Sze Ping (Chinese) and Darren (English)‘s respective blog entries. What really impressed a super geek like me – all the hotel rooms come equipped with a 40-inch LCD TV, 500GB Sony Personal Computer/Entertainment Centre, Bose in-room soundscapes and “My Mobile” Nokia phone service (allows you to route your room phone to the mobile phone and bring it anywhere). To top it all, complimentary high-speed WiFi and wired Internet are available for all guests. Cool right? My beautiful hotel room The bathroom area Press kits, brochures, maps and other useful material the HKTB folks had prepared for us in our room Complementary fruits, macarons and other dessert items from the hotel After marveling at the hotel room and taking a quick shower, I headed to the lobby for a light snack at the in-hotel restaurant with the bloggers, Vivien from the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), my colleagues, Siew Kian and Ming Choy. I had the Asian fusion set. Yummy, though the food took quite a while to come. Nonetheless, we all had a great time chatting, excited about the programs ahead. My Asian fusion noon snack After lunch, we headed to the Hong Kong Summer Spectacular – Dragon Boat Carnival Opening ceremony. We managed to catch a parade and some concert performances. There were also booths selling food stuff and operating funfair type games. Dragon boy Happy “Ba Zhang” (rice dumpling) boy A dragon boat Marching band performance Booths and stalls area Lots of Korea boy band fans have already gathered at the concert area when we arrived San Miguel beer is a main sponsor for the event Security guards Drumming kids On standby The drumming kids performing on stage Intense expressions Drums performance:[youtube url=””] My colleague, Siew Kian, armed with a DSLR Me and my other colleague, Ming Choy The VIPs beating on the drums to announce the opening of the dragon boat carnival Snow foams descended from the sky after the opening ceremony Hong Kong singer, Deep Ng (吴浩康), was the first to perform on stage with a series of Cantopop numbers View of the full stage Close-up of Deep Ng Next up was another Hong Kong singer, Sherman Chung Shu-man (鍾舒曼) Close-up of Sherman Sherman Chung Shu-man (鍾舒曼) singing: On stage together Sherman sang another song with Deep playing the guitar Korean TV crews were there too – one of them had a giant movable crane as above The highlight of the event was the singing performance by a “Dream Team” group from South Korea. Let’s Go! Dream Team is a popular Korean television program and stars middle-aged comedians and boy band idols. When the latter group hit the stage one by one – the fans gathered all started screaming their lungs out. The fans must be green with envy at the bunch of us seated in the VIP area, near to the stage. Blogger, Geck Geck, posing with the league of young female fans The “uncles” in Dream Team came on stage first to tease the crowd Another funny uncle-type – probaby a comedian too The first young, handsome lad to come on stage – a rapper called “Mighty Mouse” Hi-five! Not sure who this guy is, but a lot of the teen girls start shrieking when he came on stage Alexander from boy band, U-Kiss. He is more chio than handsome I would say. Nonetheless, the girls love him. The uncle trio from Dream Team singing a Chinese song together – Wakin Chau (周华健)’s Friends (朋友) After the carnival, it was dinner time. We promptly made our way to Busy Suzie, an upmarket Japanese robatayaki restaurant and bar. We were very privileged to have Chef Iwagami Yoshiaki serving us. He is a jovial chap who made effort to interact with us too, making our dining experience a really memorable one. For a review of the restaurant, you can read the expert food blogger in our group, Catherine’s detailed blog entry. 1881 Heritage – we had our dinner at this upmarket place The restaurant, Busy Suzie is located inside this round building Restaurant entrance Our dinner menu at Busy Suzie Inside the restaurant I like this manga artwork in the restaurant The friendly restaurant manager popped by to welcome us Peter playing with the serving stick which resembles the oar for rowing dragon boats Seated and ready for dinner First course – a small dollup of Japanese mashed potato to whet our appetites Hokkaido King Crab fillet salad Chef Iwagami grilling vegetable for us Grilled asparagus and shiitake mushroom Grilled pumpkin and zucchini Beef tongue or Gyu-tan, served with mustard and sea salt Enjoying my serving of beef tongue Grilled to perfection salmon This was how each of our courses were served – fun right?

She flew by Tiger Airways and her flight was delayed by over an hour. By the time we met, it was almost midnight. I joined her for a quick supper at a Cha Chaan Teng (茶餐厅) near The Mira. Rachel, fresh from Singapore My supper Rachel’s supper/dinner Rachel was really hungry and gobbled up her food quickly The restaurant was closing when we left. We were probably the last customers.

WHY DO I NEED A CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT? The Simple answer to the question, "Why do I need a Confidentiality Agreement (or NDA)?" is, "BEFORE YOU DISCLOSE ANY PROPRIETARY SECRET." If you don't want someone else to use the information that you are disclosing, get their promise not to disclose in writing! Generally, Confidentiality Agreements, also known as non-disclosure agreements or NDA's, are contracts wherein each party agrees not to disclose and to keep confidential certain information that is disclosed by the other party. The Confidentiality Agreement is often utilized where one party intends to disclose to the other party, confidential, proprietary, information, such as a secret idea, process, service or product. Such disclosure typically occurs when the disclosing party wants another person and/or company to evaluate the secret information prior to entering into a comprehensive Joint Venture Agreement, Collaboration Agreement or Licensing Agreement. The benefits of utilizing a well-drafted Confidentiality Agreement include the following: First, the Confidentiality Agreement reduces the risk that the valuable secret information will be disclosed to, and possibly used by, third parties. If the secret information is disclosed to a third party and such disclosure amounts to a breach of the Confidentiality Agreement, the party that is the owner of the secret information, will have a cause of action for breach of contract and will be able to seek injunctive relief (where the court orders the breaching party to cease disclosure and use) and may also seek monetary damages. Second, an important benefit of utilizing a well-drafted Confidentiality Agreement is that it will reduce the risk of forfeiture of your valuable patent rights. That is, public disclosure may result in your development or secret to be determined, not patentable and patent rights may be forfeited. Third, Confidentiality Agreements define in writing, specifically what, if any, information can and cannot be disclosed by the receiving party and when and under what circumstances such disclosure can occur. Typically the disclosing party will prefer the protected information to be as broad as possible and the receiving party will prefer a more narrow protection. Fourth, the Confidentiality Agreement may provide for limitations on the receiving party's use of the confidential information, e.g., to be used solely for the purposes of evaluating the specific business opportunity. What can be protected by a Confidentiality Agreement? A well-drafted Confidentiality Agreement can protect any information that is disclosed to the other party, such as, processes, recipes, test results, systems, new products, client lists, other trade secrets, etc. It is very important that the receiving party make sure that there are exceptions to the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, e.g., information that the recipient had prior to the disclosure, information in the public domain, information created by recipient, etc. The disclosing party may want to provide provisions within the Confidentiality Agreement that require certain treatment of the material provided. Again, if reasonable steps are not taken, trade secret protection may no longer apply to the material. Also, the Confidentiality Agreement should set forth a time period for the making of disclosures and the period during which confidentiality of the information shall remain confidential and not disclosed. Furthermore, Confidentiality Agreements often contain provisions confirming that there is no license granted to the disclosed material, within that agreement, express or implied and that any and all material disclosed shall be returned to discloser upon request. Thus, there are many situations where a Confidentiality Agreement is not only appropriate, but essential to business success.

Facts, Mr Gradgrind, facts! ‘Children need freedom and chaos, not tests, ticks, and smiley faces’ review \| Children's Books - Times Online ...Rosen is a vociferous opponent of current education policy, which he describes variously as loony, disastrous and backward; “teachers are treated like squaddies”, children fare even worse. One of his poems, in an anthology called No Breathing in Class, is about a teacher who is so strict that she bans breathing. There had been “this extraordinary shift in the past ten years: you don’t talk about teaching and learning, you talk about management”... As the children get older, many schools say they don’t have time to read “whole” books. “What is the point if you never learn about outcome? The reason why you read novels or stories is in great part because you want to see whether the baddie gets their comeuppance, whether the girl gets their boy, why their dad lied to them. It’s crucial to it. “If all you do is just look at a page and then answer five questions about adjectives and clauses or whatever, it denies what any of us are in the business for. Any writer, ever, from Homer onwards.” This “completely misleads teachers and children, and from them parents, that the way we respond to stories is about facts”. In doing so, it “curtails the emotional response”. At the same time – and Rosen finds this a piquant absurdity – government ministers are calling for emotional literacy, or happiness lessons. Nothing to do with our children’s happiness, he said, only that of adults. “All anxieties about children and youth are not about them at all, it’s about our anxieties about our future as adults,” he said. “We’re busy screwing up and so we project all that on to children saying, ‘My God, the little beasts don’t say please any more’. ” If you let Rosen talk, he quite rapidly takes an idea and runs away with it, expanding into radical reform of education, scrapping “backward” faith schools, rethinking the “19th-century” curriculum, letting children decide what they want to learn. It’s imaginative and possibly hopelessly left-wing. Cosy it is not, but it acknowledges the maverick side of children that longs for freedom, not restraint .... A damning indictment of the system, read the rest; but why is wanting to give children freedom to learn and to educate them rather than teach and school them "hopelessly left-wing"? Maybe because Rosen is probably a member of the SWP. He certainly contributes articles to its website. Funny, I can't imagine a member or supporter of the BNP - no matter how gifted a writer - being appointed children's laureate. Posted by: Umbongo \| September 16, 2007 9:17 PM
News & Events Publications - Annual Reports - IRS Documentation - Fact Sheets/Brochures - The Scholar Newsletter - Commitment To College Opportunity Communities up and down the Eastern Seaboard were impacted by Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath this fall; among the hardest hit was the New York City borough of Staten Island, where hundreds of homes and businesses were totally or nearly destroyed, and thousands of people had to cope with the devastating effects of the storm. Fortunately for students who were affected by the storm, Staten Island ACHIEVE Dollars for Scholars was there to help within days. Chapter President Patrick Ryan and his brother, Scholarship America Board Chair Michael Ryan, contributed $25,000 to kick off a Hurricane Sandy Emergency Grant Assistance program within the chapter. Their local newspaper, the Staten Island Advance, took an interest, publishing an article that featured the work of Staten Island ACHIEVE Dollars for Scholars and spread the word of the emergency grant for Sandy victims. As a result of this publicity and other efforts, the chapter was able to raise more than $50,000 in additional funding from donors and start issuing grants of $200 per affected student almost immediately. "The grants will assist high school students with replacing textbooks, uniforms and basic school supplies that have been lost or totally destroyed, so that students can continue to pursue their secondary educations ... consistent with the chapter's mission of supporting Staten Island high school students in their efforts to acquire postsecondary education," says Lynne Zervas, Area Director for Dollars for Scholars chapters in the Northeast. "Staten Island ACHIEVE has been awarding renewable college scholarships to students for seven years and has awarded over $500,000 since inception. Given how many students lost their homes as a result of the storm, or faced the challenge of returning to school without books, school supplies, uniforms or athletic equipment, we felt that it was necessary to provide emergency assistance grants to students right now so they could stay on track to pursue their college dreams," Michael Ryan says. "In addition to the assistance grants, in the Spring of 2013, we expect to make several $10,000 ACHIEVE Obstacle awards to students entering college who are dealing with the devastating effects of Sandy," Patrick Ryan adds. "Each year, our chapter makes a number of four year, renewable Obstacle awards to winners who have overcome significant personal hardships in their young lives. These amazing students inspire us to continue the work of Staten Island ACHIEVE." As a Scholarship America-affiliated 501(c)(3), the chapter was able to start accepting donations to the fund almost immediately, including donations made by credit card, wire transfer and donor advised fund grants, all processed by Scholarship America's national office and forwarded to the chapter. They are also continuing their outreach and seeking matching gifts of cash, materials, volunteer time and gifts in kind, as they help Staten Island students get back to high school life as usual. The rebuilding process all along the east coast is a huge effort, and Scholarship America Dollars for Scholars is committed to helping however we can. If you would like to get in touch with Staten Island ACHIEVE Dollars for Scholars and find out more about their efforts, just email Patrick Ryan at [email protected]. # # #.
“In the Facebook generation when people put more and more of their own personal data out there…” This is from the U.K., in light of the recent terrorist acts over there and that government now wanting to do away with encryption. But it shows a complete disregard for the concept of the right to privacy. Young people may be sharing personal information online, only because they are benefiting from such sharing, but that doesn’t mean that there are personal things young people also don’t want shared with anyone. Snd they certainly don’t want repressive governments violating their privacy to inflict harm on them.

The Goods: Our 4 Favorite Photo Products of the Month Steady Shooter Fujifilm has finally done it: the new X-H1 mirrorless camera is the company’s first to feature in-body image stabilization, which helps ensure sharper shots even when you’re using a non-image-stabilized lens. But that’s only part of the news about this X-series mirrorless camera: it also has a 24.3MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS III sensor and X-Processor Pro image processing engine, and adds a new Flicker Reduction mode, which is designed to give you more consistent image exposure under fluorescent and mercury lighting. Oh, and did we mention the Fujifilm X-H1 shoots DCI 4K, aka “true 4K,” at 4096x2160 pixels for cinema-level video, too? Well, it does, and boasts a pro-grade body that’s dust-, scratch-, and water-resistant and built to shoot in temperatures as low as 14 degrees Fahrenheit. There’s also an optional weather-resistant Vertical Power Booster Grip (VPB-XH1), shown with the camera in this image. But it’s the new five-axis, 5.5-stop, in-body image stabilization system, which uses three axial accelerometers, three axial gyro sensors, and a specially developed dual processor to achieve 10,000 calculations per second, that’s the real highlight with the X-H1—a mirrorless camera designed to keep things steady. You can read our full review of the Fujifilm X-H1 here. Fujifilm X-H1 $1,899 (body only); $2,199 with the Vertical Power Booster Grip fujifilmusa.com Air Catcher DJI’s Mavic Air is a drone for people who might not like drones. Weighing just under a pound and resembling the shape of a large smartphone when folded up, the Mavic Air made its debut recently after being pulled from the pocket of DJI North America Director Michael Perry’s down vest at a press conference in New York City. Perry actually pulled three Mavic Airs from various pockets of his vest at the press conference to demonstrate how small and sleek the drones are when stowed away. The foldable Mavic Air has a three-axis gimbal for stability, 4K video shooting, and the ability to capture 36MP panoramic images from high in the sky. The Mavic Air adds new QuickShot modes, which fly preset patterns, so the user just needs to launch the drone to capture a scene in a unique way. The Mavic Air also adds SmartCapture, which lets you control the drone using just hand gestures, and FlightAutonomy 2.0 with Advanced Pilot Assistance Systems (APAS), which uses seven onboard cameras and infrared sensors in the drone to create a 3D map of the area to help avoid large objects such as trees and boulders when flying. The Mavic Air has a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor and a 24mm-equivalent f/2.8 lens that can shoot 12MP still images. It can shoot 4K video at 30 fps with a maximum bitrate of 100 Mbps. A new Sphere panorama feature automatically shoots and stitches together 25 photos to create a 32MP panoramic image in just a minute. DJI Mavic Air $799 dji.com X Factor The Panasonic Lumix GX9 offers the combination of portability and versatility that some photographers crave. A compact mirrorless camera that uses a 20.3MP Digital Live MOS Micro Four Thirds sensor without a low-pass filter, the Lumix GX9 is powered by Panasonic’s Venus Engine image processor. It adds the new L.Monochrome D “Photo Style” mode, which is designed to make it easier to shoot detailed dynamic monochrome photos with emphasized highlights and shadows.

Photos of Underage Voting are “from a school assembly” – Governor Ganduje Abdullahi Ganduje Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has described as propaganda the photos and videos of children voting in the just concluded local government elections, Punch reports. Ganduje said this while fielding questions from reporters in an event at the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja. He denied the reports of underage voting, saying the photos were from a school assembly. He said: That was propaganda. You can ask the national observers who went there. They held a press conference. All those pictures were children from a school assembly. It is not true, it is part of the propaganda. Let them go back to the state. Ganduje also addressed his rocky relationship with his predecessor Rabiu Kwankwaso, They were very good friends, he said, but things went wrong at some point. He said: As you know, we were very good friends. In fact, my politics cannot be complete without Kwankwaso and the history of Kwankwaso’s politics cannot be complete without me. But somewhere, somehow, things went wrong. We believe in politics that you will get to a point that you cannot rule and manage a state and then you are being controlled from outside. You know that one is very very difficult to happen if you look at the psychology of leaders.

My texture set was set to Agria somehow but my textures were still Korhal so it glitched. I just changed them back to Korhal and it fixed the issue. @joecab: Go yeah right now it only seems to not place trees and my Editor Mini Map is pretty much all blacked out I took a break from working on my terrain and now ive come back to it and i cant place any Doodads. even tho i have some placed from before. is their a limit to how many you can place within your map? okay, awsome got it working now. thanks for the help. @BasharTeg: Go alright, i got that working. thanks. one more question tho. Party Buff Player 1 Events Unit - Any Unit Enters a distance of 12.0 from -Karass [41.51, 204.28] Local Variables Conditions (Owner of (Triggering unit)) == 1 Actions Unit - Add 1 Party Bonus to (Triggering unit) from player 2 - -Karass [41.51, 204.28] was put into the map through the editor so im able to easily select him. what i need to do now is have it so when the players select their heroes through my dialog for this to work. and since Karass wouldnt be already on the map how would i be able to put it so the buff gets applied when Player 1 gets in range of Player 2? Hmm, still having issues. The reason i know this is possible, is because its used within Hero Attack. when one team has more players then another. just cant figure out exactly went down to making this work. Hey all Been testing my options and whats possible within the editor for the past hour or so ive been messing around with Heroes and Veterancey. What im trying to do is have it that when 2 heroes are within each others radius to multiply the experience gain by 1.25 or 25%. reason for doing so is to make players to want to group up and level together. so far, i made a buff behavior called PartyXP for testing and put a value of 8 within the Kill Bonus to see if it would actually do anything. which it didnt. so now i believe im forced to apply the Multiplier by triggers but nothing seems to be able to make this work. Heres the idea i started going with. Events Unit - -Zealot [24.05, 224.76] Enters a distance of 12.0 from -Karass [44.31, 197.18] Actions Unit - Add 1 PartyXP to -Zealot [24.05, 224.76] from -Karass [44.31, 197.18] Now i recieve the buff perfectly the only problem is the Kill Bonus within the Behavior, since it doesnt do anything. Would anyone have any ideas on how this would be possible or something that would be somewhat similar to this? -Projekton @Ice_bane: Go Wow... i cant believe i didnt think of that. Thanks! Hey all. Working on a new map and was wondering if anyone knew how limit items for a player. to be more specific i have multiple items giving bonuses to strength attribute. I was wondering for a way to limit the player to only be able to carry one strength related item at a time. im not sure if this is data or trigger related, most likely both. anyone have any ideas or have done this before? 0
Date: August 23, 2017 Host: Jim Schneider Guest: Dr.Mark Shaw Listen: MP3 \| Order According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine, drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S. with over 53,000 lethal drug overdoses in 2015. Opioid addiction is driving this epidemic. These numbers climbed to an excess of 59,000 deaths in 2016. The medical profession has been accused of over-prescribing opiates. One doctor in Michigan from January 1st into August of 2017 had prescribed more than 500,000 opioid pills. Investigators said roughly half of these pills ended up on the street. A Rassmussen poll reported that through a national telephone and online survey, 44% of American adults say abuse of opioid drugs is a major problem in the area where they live. That’s just one of many addictions; there’s also alcohol, pornography, gambling, food, and the list goes on. How do we deal with this matter? How should the church be addressing it? How about the family impacted by a member who has such an addiction? Joining Jim to discuss this issue was Dr. Mark Shaw. Dr. Shaw currently serves as the founder of Truth in Love Ministries and is the executive director of Vision of Hope. He’s also accepted a position starting in September as a vice president at the NewDay Center in Indianapolis. With 26 years of supervisory experience in a variety of clinical settings, he teaches the truth and hope found in God’s work about addiction of all types, eating disorders, self-harm habits, and other enslaving issues. He has a Doctor of Ministry in Biblical Counseling while also maintaining certifications with three different counseling organizations: ACBC, IABC and AADAA. He’s the author of 20 publications including the book discussed on this edition of Crosstalk, ‘The Heart of Addiction: A Biblical Perspective’. The program began as Jim asked Dr. Shaw the following question: Whether the area of addiction is related to alcohol, opioids, gambling or any other addiction, is ‘disease’ a proper word for this? Dr. Shaw starts with Scripture and he noted that nowhere in Scripture is addiction called a disease. He described it as,’…an idolatry problem; a heart problem that people struggle with in their sin nature. And so disease is the worldly terminology that I think actually does violence to the Gospel and leads people away from Jesus Christ.’ So how did we arrive at the common usage of the term ‘disease’? Dr. Shaw went back to the 1930’s as he mentioned 2 individuals he described as Bill W. (who never professed to be a Christian) and Dr. Bob. The thought was that alcoholism must be a disease so the 12-step treatment method was developed to help people suffering from it. Dr. Shaw noted an important point related to this issue that concerns idolatry. This is putting something other than God in His rightful place. We’ve all been guilty of that at one time or another. Our tendency is to put ourselves ahead of God because we want to please ourselves. Idolatry sounds like a harsh term when actually it’s compassionate. It leads people to realize their sin nature and that they need Christ; that He speaks to addiction when you define it as a habitual heart problem. At that point there’s hope and the Gospel makes sense. As this program moved along, Jim also had Dr. Shaw address the following: –Dr. Shaw uses 2 Timothy 3:16-17 as a pattern for his book. What is the correlation between these two verses of Scripture and the subject of addiction? –Does he recommend self-help groups for people struggling with addictions? –How does he feel about the use of the word, ‘recovering’ when describing addicts? –Does Proverbs 23:29 lay out the characteristics of those who are hurting and may be engulfed in addiction? –What are the spiritual consequences of addiction? –The battle in the mind. –Ultimately, where is hope found for overcoming addiction? –What role does prayer have in this matter? –In his book Dr. Shaw says, ‘The end of the matter is just the beginning.’ What does he mean by that?

I don’t care who you are and how cold and dark your heart may be — if this doesn’t get you in the holiday spirit then you are DEAD INSIDE. Without further adieu, here is rapper/Reading Rainbow enthusiast DMX — most recently seen being utterly flummoxed by Google – putting his own spin on “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” complete with a few of his “WHAT!”s and “COME ON!”s tossed in. Additionally, since he’s wearing the same clothes as he was in the Google video that went viral a few weeks ago, one can safely presume that this video was made during the same stop at New York’s 105.1. So this makes two bits of viral greatness conceived by the same radio interview, proving once again that DMX is made of awesome. Enjoy… And for any of you left feeling nostalgic by this, the annual Rudolph TV special airs tomorrow night on CBS. If you just can’t bear to wait that long, you can watch Rudolph the Red Nosed-Nosed Reindeer in its entirety below. BURL IVES 4-EVA!!! Yo, what these bitches want from a Santa? +100 STOP! DROP! OFF THE GIFTS AT THE TOY SHOP!! Oh. NO. THAT’S HOW KRIS KRINGLE ROLLS. On another note, these new pop-up ads need to go die in a fire. Yeah, they’re terrible. If it helps any, I’ve voiced our displeasure to the Overlords. Helps a lot. I just need to know you’re listening, CB. WHERE MY CLAUS AT !?!???!?! Arf Arf!!! I want a whole album of this. DMXMAS Now thats the shit I be talking ’bout. All these half gift-wrappin’ ass motherfuckas! You think its a game? You think its a fuckin gaaaaaame?!? Attention parents, share this video with your kids immediately I never reached for my headphones faster than when I saw the headline. Ya’ll gonna make me check my list once a year? once a year! Ya’ll gonna make me work all night? Once a year? once a year! I’m gonna bring it to your children and its gonna be quick alright? all the kiddies who on the nice list, here comes st. nick day. made. That did cheer me up. Thank you internet, you did it again. I’m in tears. I’m actually crying in class because of this. Thank you X Let’s get these DMX Christmas song titles out of the way so we can get on with our day. X Gon Wrap It For Ya Christmas Party Up Ain’t No Eggnog Where’s My Sleigh? Sleigh Ryders Anthem They Don’t Know (Who Jesus Be) Get At Me Reindeer What These Elves Want Where Tha North Pole At? Stop Being Grinchy We Right Here (On Christmas Eve) Then one foggy Christmas Eve/Santa came to say COME ON!!!!!! Lmaoooo This the version my daughter will grow up on. I love that he didn’t need the printed out lyrics. Because of course DMX already knows all the words to Rudolph. You think this is a fuckin game? NOW I’M FUCKIN CRUNK!! That really is, by far, the happiest that song has ever made me. Or maybe DMX only has one outfit now, the way batman does. Or a bunch of repeats of the same outfit, like Doug. I hope that this sparks a trend within the rap community, culminating in a Westside Connection rendition of ‘God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen’ Now if I could just hear Ghostface Killah belt out a rendition of “Little Drummer Boy” I think we could make MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. I assume he learned this while performing in the Rikers Christmas pageant. DMX actually makes christmas music ENJOYABLE!!!!!! Loved the hell out of it!! …And then there was X-mas
Weird Facts About Penis-II Smoking can shorten the penis to one centimeter. Because smoking calcified blood vessels, erectile circulation can, which hinder create erections. Men who often hung a "death erection" also known as "angel lust." A man will ejaculate on average 7400 times during his life. The average number of times he will ejaculate from masturbation is 2500. The average speed of ejaculation is 27 miles per hour. Globally, about 35% of men over 20 years old are circumcised, according to a report in 2010. However, almost all Jewish and Muslim men in the world are circumcised and make 75% of the circumcised men in the world. About 82% of American men are circumcised. Studies show that women who orgasm through vaginal stimulation pickier about the size of the penis than other women. The smallest natural human penis ever recorded was 5/8 of an inch. The longest erect penis on record was 13 inches. A man has an average of 11 erections a day. He has about nine erections at night. The signal to ejaculate does not come from a man's brains rather it is sent from his spinal cord. To maintain a healthy tone, the penis must have regular erections. Without regular erections, penis tissue may become less elastic and shrink to 1-2 cm. However, the brains have an "automatic penis maintenance" function. Brains impulses cause erections during REM sleep. For some people who are physically unable to achieve an erection, due to nerve trauma, or blood vessel damage, they can a device such as a vacuum pump that causes to swell the penis with blood. Most men report that the underside of the glans (head) of the penis and the underside of the shaft is the most sensitive to sexual pleasure, followed by the top of the glans. Vibrators are not just for vagina-they work on penises too and can even help people with spinal cord injuries ejaculate. For this treatment, a medical vibrator held against the underside of the head of the penis. Now you can have 2 products for 1 product price!

My inner wanna-be Bible scholar told me it has to be about the exile and I was right. First, let's look at the Psalm: Yes, we recite the whole Psalm in Morning Prayer. It's a short one. Here's where I get confused:Yes, we recite the whole Psalm in Morning Prayer. It's a short one. Here's where I get confused. This awful little hymn (pardon the use of the HOLY NAME, by the way) is a cheery little number that was used all the freakin' time at my last parish. To think that this song is followed by blood shed is kind of crazy. Yesterday, I bought my new favorite book It's commentary on Psalm 149 is illuminating An exilic or post-exilic psalm, depending on whether the event envisioned has already taken place or is yet to come. The event is God's deliverance of His people from exile and their restoration to Judah. The psalm envisions a reversal whereby Israel is the victor and its enemies the vanquished. The threefold repetition of the faithful emphasizes loyalty to God.This gives us some essential clues as to what we are supposed to get out of this Psalm. As the Israelite were in exile, so are we in exile in a foreign land. Our true home is Heaven (Philippians 3:20) so we are, in a sense, exiles waiting to return. In a Christian reading of the Psalm, this reversal is of the righteous and the unrepentant sinner. As the righteous now suffers, they will be vindicated. As many unrepentant sinners now live comfortable lives, they will be punished. No, we are not supposed to rejoice in the pain of our enemies (Matthew 5:44). The end of this psalm is supposed to bother us if we are truly trying to imitate Jesus. It is part of our job on earth to help make sure that other people make it to Heaven (Matthew 5:19). We don't want others to be put into chains. That's a normal, good response to this psalm. This psalm should lead us to prayer for those who aren't following God's will.

This morning was a 5 miler - in the gym on the treadmill. I could have run outside - there was a misty rain and it wasn't too cold - but by 5:20am I already had dressed for the gym and was on my way out, so I decided to go with it. I also was going to wear the new shoes, and didn't want to soak them on my first run... My foot was still a bit tender, so I started off slow. The first 5 minutes of the workout were tough, but then I got in a groove. Everything started to feel really good - including my foot. At around 3 miles, I started to get some pain in my foot again. Darn! I said to myself, "I'll run another mile and if the pain is still there I'll stop...I'm not going to run less than 4 miles." A few minutes later the pain was gone. Hooray! At around 3.5 miles into the run I needed to slow down to keep my heart rate down. I believe I may have started to overheat a bit. One thing I hate about Bally Total Fitness is that they keep the gym soooo hot! At Fitness First (my previous gym) they kept the temperatures a lot cooler and had fans situated near the cardio equipment. I was soaked after my 5 mile run this morning - and it wasn't due to the rain outside. It's probably good that I'm training in this environment just in case the marathon is on a hot day. I already have the cold weather running down - that's for sure. I finished the 5 miles in 55:41 - an 11:09/mile pace with an average HR of 149. I'm going to do some speedwork tomorrow and hope to gain back some of the pace that I have lost over the past few weeks (I believe it started after I gave blood). One other note - it is now April. My marathon is officially next month. WOW!!!!
School of Media and Communication Phil Taylor's papers Propaganda PSYOPS WAR Communications Phil Taylor's Publications Search site Must-reads Useful Publications Links BACK TO : MILITARY-MEDIA RELATIONS Iraq: U.S. Military Responses Imperil Journalists by Human Rights Watch Iraq: U.S. Military Responses Imperil Journalists (New York, September 24, 2003) Overaggressive reactions by U.S. military forces in Iraq are putting journalists and other civilians in unnecessary danger, Human Rights Watch said today. On September 18, U.S. army troops opened fire on an Associated Press (AP) reporter and photographer in the town of Khaldiya, 50 miles west of Baghdad. No one was injured, but the photographer's car was badly damaged. On August 17, U.S. forces shot and killed a Reuters television cameraman, Mazen Dana, outside the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad. According to the military, they mistook his camera for a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG). U.S. military authorities told Human Rights Watch on September 23 that they investigated that incident and concluded that the soldiers had acted within the rules of engagement. Dana was the 12th journalist killed in action in Iraq since the beginning of the war in March, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists. Five of these deaths were from U.S. fire. "As attacks against them continue, U.S. soldiers are sometimes resorting to deadly force in a reckless and indiscriminate way," said Joe Stork, acting executive director of Human Rights Watch's Middle East and North Africa Division. "This puts all civilians, not just journalists, at grave risk." Stork pointed out that, as the occupying power in Iraq, the United States is obligated to ensure public safety in a manner that conforms to international humanitarian law and human rights standards. This obligation includes a requirement to avoid disproportionate harm to civilians. In the most recent incident, AP photographer Karim Kadhim and his driver Qassim al-Saidi were traveling to Baghdad when they heard about an attack on U.S. forces at Khaldiya, where the Iraqi police chief had been assassinated a few days earlier. When they arrived, they saw a U.S. tank blocking the road. In the front window of their car was a white laminated sign with black letters, three feet long, that read: "PRESS." At that moment, they heard an explosion, which they believed to be an RPG attack on the U.S. troops. According to the driver, Qassim al-Saidi, a U.S. tank then trained its machine gun on his car. He told Human Rights Watch: "When we arrived, we saw the tank and stopped. We heard another RPG at that moment, and that is when they shot with a machine gun from the tank. & We turned around quickly, opened the doors, and jumped out. All the bullets hit the car and some went through the seats. & The Americans were very nervous and frightened. They are very confused and suspicious of everything." The two men hid by the side of the road and eventually found refuge in nearby houses. According to an AP report on the incident, a 20-year-old man was shot in the chest and taken away in a taxi. In the same incident, AP correspondent Tarek al-Issawi, who had arrived in another car, was fired upon by a .50-caliber machine gun on a U.S. tank, the AP reported. Mr. al-Issawi was also unharmed. Human Rights Watch inspected Mr. al-Saidi's car, a dark blue Chevrolet Caprice Classic with Baghdad plates 322616. There were seven bullet marks on the car, some of which had penetrated inside the vehicle. The tires were flat, and the windshield was blown out. According to the AP, the car was hit "about 20 times." U.S. military said soldiers had come under attack that day in Khaldiya. A roadside bomb reportedly exploded near a convoy, and gunmen then opened fire on U.S. troops. A second attack took place nine miles to the west. Two soldiers were wounded but it is not clear in which attack. The AP sent a letter of protest to U.S. military authorities in Baghdad, asking for an investigation. The shootings were unwarranted and put journalists in grave danger, the AP said. Human Rights Watch also spoke with Ghaith `Abd al-Ahad, an Iraqi national who works as a news assistant for the New York Times. He told Human Rights Watch that U.S. soldiers threw him to the ground, and handcuffed and verbally abused him. According to `Abd al-Ahad, around September 1 he was driving on Highway 1, 20 miles north of Baghdad, when he came upon a U.S. military checkpoint. An explosion had just killed one U.S. soldier and injured another, and `Abd al-Ahad saw a helicopter evacuating the wounded. Two U.S. soldiers, whom `Abd al-Ahad believes were from the 4th Infantry Division, pushed him roughly to the ground, even though he showed his press card and said he worked for the New York Times. He was soon let go. As he stood 50 meters away watching the scene, the same two soldiers approached him, threw him to the ground again, cuffed his hands, and put a bag over his head. "One of the soldiers had his knee on my neck," `Abd al-Ahad said. "When I said I work for the New York Times he said, 'Oh, so you speak English,' and he pushed his knee down harder." Human Rights Watch is deeply concerned that reckless reactions by U.S. troops to hostile fire are putting civilians at risk, in this case journalists. It called for an investigation into the September 18 attack on the AP journalists. Privacy Statement Accessibility Statement Freedom of Information

“Be yourself, keep your identity, and never give up.” Recently I had the pleasure of talking with German architect and product designer Philipp Mainzer. I’m drawn to his work. Its focus is on a pure and distinct design language. Born in Germany, Philipp Mainzer studied product design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, and architecture at the Architectural Association both in London. In 1995 Philipp Mainzer co-founded the. furniture design by Philipp Mainzer When did you first realize that you wanted to be a designer? That was from very early. I started to study product design, but very quickly realized that I was missing some dimensions. Therefore I continued to study architecture. Even when I design a piece of furniture I consider the surrounding and try to have an impact on it. Looking back at your first project what knowledge do you wish you had back then? I don´t wish anything to be different. Sometimes it helps to be less experienced to be more experimental. This really allowed us to make with decisions about our first pieces of furniture, which we would not have done being very experienced in woodwork. Is there something that connects all your projects? There is always a focus on an authentic and honest experience of a product or an environment. The design should be timeless yet inspiring. A focus on material, craftsmanship and lighting is a red line through my work. BERGMAN store in Frankfurt, interior design by Philipp Mainzer What do you enjoy most in your work? The variety of projects ranging from product, interior, architecture to branding. What do you love to do when you are not designing? Developing other new ideas. What are your favorite books? Delirious New York by Rem Koolhaas always has been a great inspiration for me. It really makes you appreciate our world. the first private institute in Taiwan – XUE XUE INSTITUTE Taipei, interior design by Philipp Mainzer Your favorite places in Germany? Berlin. You have been awarded several significant prizes. What do you consider to be your greatest achievement? Building up a premium brand known worldwide with an integrity and character. This is much more challenging than producing a great design. What does success mean to you? It helps me to keep going and encourages me to do more projects. TAIWAN GLASS in Fujian, China, architecture by Philipp Mainzer What’s your advice to upcoming designers? Be yourself, keep your identity, and never give up.

A young child was among five persons injured and transported to hospital, where their injuries are listed as non-life threatening. In the second incident, shortly after 11:30 p.m., a man was standing in the area of Market Street and Palm Tree Avenue, when the occupants of a silver Honda Fit vehicle, pulled up and shot him before speeding off. The victim was transported to hospital where he remains in serious condition. Investigations are ongoing.
That’s It Bars A snack bar trend coming up! We just reviewed SMART Bars by Detour, next up, That’s It fruit bars. You can find more about their 6 flavor all gluten free bars at. From their website, That’s It.TM bars grew from the idea that nature knows best. We agree. We believe that adding a bunch of extra […]
I am a Globe user, eversince the world began. But, I tried Smart just today (I’m not switching to Smart, just testing it.). After I loaded it with P50, I got a message about their SMARTEXT which is a ‘market test only’ according to their text message. SMARTEXT DETAILS You can enjoy unlimited texts from Smart to Smart/TNT for 5 days for P60 only. But according to their text advisory, this is a ‘Market Test Only’ which will run until November 14, 2009. To register to this smart’s new unlimited text offering, text: 60 to 258. Compared to their existing ALLTEXT UNLI25 offering, which is unlimited texts from Smart to Smart/TNT and free 10 texts to other networks for P25/day, SMARTEXT comes to be cheaper by 50%. Because with P60 for 5 days unlimited texting, it will come out that you would spend P12 for 1 day unlimited texting. Only no information about how much free texts is allocated to other networks. Nevertheless, I believe this is a good offer to those heavy texters using on Smart network. Can this be Smart’s response to Globe’s IMMORTAL TEXT which offers 50 free texts Globe to Globe/TM and 10 free texts to other networks without expiry date? Owkei, I’m a Globe user and a loyal one. And, I think IMMORTAL TEXT is pale in comparison to this SMARTEXT. But I guess, it depends on what type of user are you. I think SMARTEXT is very good for heavy texters, texters who can send out at least more than 15 texts in a day to justify the P60 spend for 5 days unlimited. But if you are someone whose text statistics is less than 10 texts/day, then you’re better off with Globe’s IMMORTAL TEXT offer. I like to try this but then I only have a P50 load on my Smart. So tomorrow, SMARTEXT here I come! 14 responses to “SMARTEXT (Smart’s Unlimited Texts to Smart/TNT)” i’ll always text my classmates Everyday.. I text them more than 100 messages a day bacause i’m high school and very Busy in School activities..

What is Zellweger syndrome? Zellweger syndrome is the most severe form of peroxisome biogenesis disorder-Zellweger spectrum disorder (PBD-ZSD). Peroxisomal disorders are rare, genetic, terminal conditions that affect all major organ systems of the body. A peroxisomal disorder on the Zellweger spectrum (formerly referred to as Zellweger syndrome) means that the peroxisomes in your cells aren’t working properly, are absent, or are severely decreased. Peroxisomes are necessary for cell function, normal brain development, and the formation of myelin. What’s in a name? Zellweger syndrome is the most commonly known peroxisomal disorder. It is named after Hans Zellweger, a pediatrician and professor of pediatrics and genetics, who in the mid-1960’s researched the disorder and noticed the familial disorder among siblings. Zellweger syndrome was later named for him in recognition of his discovery. Today, it is known that Zellweger syndrome actually falls on a spectrum. That means Zellweger syndrome is part of a group of disorders that all have the same genetic mutations. These mutations cause certain features and symptoms that vary from mild to severe. While you may hear the names Zellweger syndrome (ZS), neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD), infantile Refsum disease (IRD), and Heimler syndrome used to describe or diagnose a patient, it is now known that all of these names are actually the same disorder with different levels of severity. Today, these groups of disorders are known as peroxisome biogenesis disorder-Zellweger spectrum disorder (PBD-ZSD). Why do peroxisomal disorders have. disorders that were formerly grouped into separate diseases are now known to be a continuum of PBD-ZSD. Why does it matter what we call it? For many of our patients, it would be inaccurate to state that they will be firmly classified as “mild” “moderate” or “severe” throughout their lifespan. Simply saying a patient has Zellweger syndrome ignores the understanding that a patient can move through the spectrum of this disorder depending on disease progression. When we use the accurate diagnosis of peroxisome biogenesis disorder-Zellweger spectrum disorder (PBD-ZSD), we acknowledge that a patient can fall on different parts of the spectrum throughout their lifespan. Disease progression can cause negative movement on the spectrum, moving from mild to severe. While a patient may appear to be on the mild end of the spectrum at birth, they can develop serious medical problems as they age, placing them on different points on the spectrum during their lifespan. Conversely, some patients that are born with severe symptoms, particularly with what appears to be very severe liver involvement, can actually have improved liver function during their lifetime and move toward a more mild presentation of the disorder. It’s important for physicians and families to use inclusive language about this spectrum disorder to better understand that PBD-ZSD can be ever changing for patients and very difficult to predict.

Suppose, and we were listening to Orthodox Christians tell us that while they disagreed with the totalitarian atheism of the Communist Party, they agreed with the party’s stand on wealth redistribution, free healthcare, free education and guaranteed housing. So that made membership in the Communist Party okay, right? These are the exact same arguments being employed by Catholics today in 21st-century America in regards to the Democratic Party. As Catholics, they disagree with the party’s position on abortion-on-demand, all the way up to the moment of birth, but they agree with the party’s stand for universal healthcare, affordable education, and green energy. So it’s okay for a Catholic to be a member of the Democratic Party and vote for Democrat politicians, right? Sure it is! So long as you agree that it was okay for Catholics to be members of the Nazi Party in 1930 and for Orthodox to be members of the Communist Party in 1920. If that’s what you’re saying, then yes, it’s perfectly consistent for Catholics to be members of the Democratic Party in the United States in the 21st century. Obviously, I disagree with that, and I am convinced that the Democratic Party has moved so far away from moral decency that it’s impossible for any Catholic to make the case, in a reasonable way, for why it’s okay for him/her to remain a Democrat, and vote for Democrat politicians. It seems to be the epitome of hypocrisy and contradiction. How could any Catholic be supportive of a party, and politicians, who advocate and facilitate the wholesale slaughter of innocent human life? Could the argument be made that this is worse than what the Nazis and Communists did? I suppose it could. For as horrible as the Nazis and Communists were, one could say that at least some of their victims (perhaps a tiny fraction) were corrupt and wicked people. If just 1% of the Nazi and Communist victims, or even 0.1% of them, were bad apples, then we can honestly say that what the Democrats are doing is worse than the Nazis and Communists. Why? Because 100% of the victims, the Democrats advocate and facilitate the murder of, are completely innocent of all evil. Nobody can say a pre-born infant is guilty of a crime. Nobody can say a pre-born infant is guilty of immorality. Nobody can say a pre-born infant is even guilty of a single bad word or thought. A pre-born infant is the pristine example of innocence, and yet these are the people the Democratic Party works so hard to insure that they are exterminated from the face of the earth. So yes, in my estimation, just on a moral level, what the Democrats are doing is worse than what the Nazis and Communists did. Then there’s the body count. It is estimated the Nazis systematically murdered approximately 10 to 12 million people, of which 6 million were Jews, which as I said above, not all of them were totally innocent. It is estimated that Communist Russia systematically murdered at least 20 million people, which as I said above, not all of them were totally innocent. While the United States, under the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, has systematically murdered approximately 60 million people, and all of them were 100% innocent. This was done with the full support of the Democratic Party, which has defended the act consistently in every way imaginable, even to the point of demonizing those who oppose it. Is the Democratic Party worse than the Nazi Party and Communist Party? Just in terms of murdering innocent people and body count alone, most certainly, YES! So how is it that Catholics can justify remaining members of this murderous organization? We could talk about the tyranny of moral relativism, which has metastasized in our society like a cancer. We could talk about the endless propaganda of the Democratic Party and the mainstream news media. We could talk about the influence of labor unions and the tendency of people to vote the way their parents did. All of these factors surely play a role. However, I think the greatest blame lays at the feet of the US Catholic bishops, who for decades have allowed Catholics to believe that it’s okay to support a political party that advocates and facilitates the wholesale slaughter of innocent human life. What would we say of Catholic bishops in 1930 who said that supporting the Nazi Party was okay? What would we say of Orthodox bishops in 1920 who said that supporting the Communist Party was okay? History would not be kind to them. Nor will history be kind to the US Catholic bishops of our time. History will record that when the greatest human slaughter in North American history was underway, the US Catholic bishops spoke only in terms of vague generalities, and allowed Catholics to believe they could politically support those who advocated and facilitated this violence against innocence. History will record that the vast majority of US Catholic bishops allowed Democrat politicians to remain in the Church, and even receive communion, in spite of their support of this unspeakable evil. No, history may not be kind to the US Catholic bishops of our time, but that’s something we’re just going to have to wait for history to sort out. In the mean time, you don’t have to be a part of this evil anymore. If you’re a Catholic who is a member of the Democratic Party, or you tend to vote for Democrat politicians, the way to disassociate yourself from it, the way to get your name off it, is to leave the Democratic Party and stop voting for Democrat politicians. I want to make this very clear, I’m not telling you to join the Republican Party, nor am I telling you to vote for Republicans. I’m saying nothing of the sort. What I’m saying is that if you call yourself a Catholic, you just can’t be a member of the Democratic Party, nor can you vote for Democrat politicians. What you do beyond that is your business and your business alone. You can vote for independent candidates, you can join a third party, or you can refuse to join any party at all. There is no law in these United States that says you must be a member of a political party. You can vote in any general election as an independent and nobody will ask your party affiliation. On a personal note, I come from a family of Democrats stretching back at least a hundred years. My father helped campaign for President John F. Kennedy. All of my grandparents were staunch supporters of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. My parents voted Democrat in every election up until 1984. As a young child, I remember crying when I heard that Jimmy Carter would no longer be our president. I remember my parents’ disgust when they heard that Ronald Reagan (“that turncoat”) had all but won the 1980 presidential election, and that they would still go vote for Carter anyway as a protest. (We lived in California at the time, so the election was practically over by the time my dad got home from work.) But in the early 1980s, something changed for my parents. They remained Democrats but voted for Reagan in 1984, and then G.H. Bush in 1988. They never really changed parties, but instead became more supportive of Republican candidates. Why? While economics were certainly a factor, I believe the abortion issue played a huge role. During the 1980s, the Democratic Party cemented itself as the “pro-abortion” party, while the Republicans solidified as the Pro-Life Party. Back then, Democrats, like my parents, didn’t have much of a choice if they were Pro-Life. They just had to hold their noses and vote Republican. That’s not true for Pro-Life Democrats today. I am a member of the American Solidarity Party (ASP) now, which is a Pro-Life political party based on Catholic social justice principles. It’s a center-left party, for Catholics, Christians, and all people of good will, who would generally side with the Democrats on economic and social issues, but cannot abide by the Pro-Abortion stand of the Democratic Party. That being said, it’s a small party that was just started in 2016, and until it reaches a large enough size, I’ll be forced to continue to vote for Republican candidates in an attempt to stop the abortion holocaust that plagues this nation. If you’re a Catholic, and a Democrat, please do me a favor (will you?): go visit the Solidarity Party (ASP) website, and look over the platform. Then tell me if that’s not more in line with Catholic teaching. If you find that it is, and you will, then please join me in making a stand. Leave the DNC and join the ASP. Let’s get some Solidarist candidates into office! Categories: Renewal, Social Commentary I’ve always been fond of the Pauline call for Christians the world over to be in this world but not of this world and your comment on membership in political parties as a whole is a reflection of this reality I think. Render unto Caesar, that which is Caesar’s, Christians ought to be focused on our fellowship with Jesus and our transformation within this world will follow. LikeLiked by 1 person Abortion, infanticide, assisted suicide…when will Catholic Democrats learn that this is not their party any longer. Thanks for the post. All the best. LikeLiked by 1 person We’ve all tried that argument on our Democratic relatives. It doesn’t work. I agree wholeheartedly with your post, and will continue to pray for those who are so politically entrenched that they only believe what the party tells them to believe. I am so sick of hearing people say, “Personally I am opposed, but…” then support the entire agenda. If the bishops were not afraid of the financial hit, I believe they can take a moral position that over time would show exactly how pro-life Catholics should be and receive new converts for staunchly defending life.

Lion Painting Finished! Well there comes a time in every painting, when my interest is starting to drift off and I know that is the time when the painting is done. That time is now for the lion – I’ve really enjoyed painting this one, the light was a challenge. I’ll put it to the side now and glance at it every now and then whilst I get on with my next painting – A giraffe in full landscape 🙂 and I might tweak it here and there, but probably nothing that you would really notice. So here’s a couple of pics of the finished piece I just took – thanks everyone for coming along for the ride. thats why i am looking for,, wow!.. the king of wildlife. i love his angryness. his style.. i am happy.. that kind of paintings are published here.
Justin Rose has pulled out of this week's Memorial tournament with an on-going back injury, leaving him with only one tournament to potentially play in before the US Open. The Englishman missed last week's BMW PGA Championship with a back problem that first surfaced after the Players Championship at Sawgrass three weeks ago. However, he said he was confident of being back in action in time for the US Open, the first and only major he has won. "I want to be 100 per cent fit, ready and focused for the US Open," Rose said over the weekend. "Every day I'm making progress and, although it's important not to rush these things, I'm upbeat and positive. "Oakmont is exactly the type of golf course I love to play, it's a classic, it's tough and it's got a reputation for being a real brute of a golf course and I relish that. "All being well, my preparations are going to be extensive and I'm really going to get to know that golf course as I did before I won at Merion." His chance to get back in competition mode before the year's second major is now limited to the FedEx St Jude Classic next week, with the US Open starting at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania on June.

John McCosker of the California Academy of Science has described a new snake eel from a single specimen trawled off Durban in 450-460 m. Although this depth makes it unlikely that any of us will ever see the species in its habitat, it emphasizes how much there is still to learn about our fish fauna and how non-scientists can help by collecting or photographing unusual fishes and giving them to scientists working on marine fishes. The snake eel was collected by Grant van der Westhuizen aboard F/V Ocean Spray using an otter trawl and passed on to SAIAB by Sean Fennessy of the Oceanographic Research Institute in Durban. The new snake eel is easily separable from known snake eels on the basis of the eye position and size its reduced vomerine dentition (single tooth) and its extremely elongate body amongst other characters unique to the genus. McCosker said that this elongate snake eel was so different from other species that he had to describe it as a new monotypic genus and species. This new genus Luthulenchelys is named in honour of Chief Albert John Mvumbi Luthuli of KZN, Africa's first winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and a former President of the ANC; and enchelys, an ancient Greek word for eel. The species heemstraorum is named for Phil and Elaine Heemstra of SAIAB in recognition of their efforts to understand,illustrate and explain the fishes of the Indian Ocean to scientists and the general public.
This week Woody and I were kindly invited to Lily’s of Truro, a dog friendly café and creative space in the heart of Truro. As a freelancer, being self-employed means I often work from home. While this may sound like the idyllic creative lifestyle, it can be lonely. It’s important to get out of the house sometimes, to explore your local towns and get those creative juices flowing! Lily’s is an independent café in the heart of Truro and is named after owner Simon’s six and a half year old Border Terrier. Unfortunately Lily wasn’t there when we popped in but we’re excited to meet her next time we visit! DOGSCLOSURE: We received complimentary food and drink at Lily’s of Truro in exchange for this post. I purchased everything else featured in this blogpost myself. Lily’s of Truro is situated at the top of the hill on Pydar street. You can’t miss its beautiful salmon pink exterior. The multicoloured cups and saucers, accents of reclaimed wood and contemporary art on display inside all add to the café’s unique charm. A beautifully eclectic mix of textures and colour. Handwritten menus hang from the ceiling and there are plenty of delicious cakes on display. I love the atmosphere in Lily’s, it’s warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home. The staff are friendly too and immediately greeted Woody for cuddles. There are even free dog treats available at the counter for your four legged friend. Mini Marrowbones, one of Woody’s favourites. It was great to find such a contemporary, stylish café that is dog friendly, as they can be few and far between. We settled ourselves down at a table opposite the window and started the day’s work. There was plenty of room between the benches and tables for Woody to sit or sprawl out as he pleased. We stayed for a few hours, absorbed in the day to day atmosphere and buzz. There were all sorts of people visiting. From local office workers on their lunch breaks to young mothers enjoying a coffee with friends. We even met a couple and their Labrador, who were visiting Cornwall from Liverpool. The staff are incredibly kind, always there to answer questions, share recommendations and of course cut you a slice of homemade cake! Lily’s of Truro serves delicious food throughout the day using fresh, local ingredients as much as possible. We arrived just as the breakfast menu changed to lunch and there were so many tasty options to choose. Best of all, they provide gluten free, vegetarian and vegan choices too, making Lily’s the perfect place to meet with a group of friends. I settled for a chicken and pesto wrap, served with fresh salad and crisps on the side. It’s safe to say it went down a treat and Woody certainly enjoyed his share. Working with local suppliers adds to the charm of Lily’s and I love seeing local Cornish businesses supporting one another and there are so many incredible people doing amazing dog friendly things in the county. There are plenty of places to park nearby. From council carparks to the local multi-storey down the road. Being the only city in Cornwall, Truro has great transport links. Trains run from both Falmouth and Penzance, as well as further afield in Plymouth and even London. There are also regular buses to Truro from just about everywhere in the county. There are some great dog walks nearby too. Trelissick is fast becoming one of our favourites and Idless Woods, the Bissoe Path and Malpas to Tresillian are all on our list to explore. Truro itself is rich in heritage, with cobbled streets, crooked houses and of course the cathedral overlooking it all. Lily’s of Truro is so much more than just a café. Not only are they incredibly dog friendly, they also provide a beautiful hub for the community. The café a great place to work and has its own dedicated co-working space upstairs. Aptly named the Dog House, desks are available to rent for as little as £10 per half day. Perfect for local freelancers, creatives and students wanting to escape their bedrooms! The desks are clean and well lit, allowing plenty of room to spread out. Lockers are available too, so you don’t have to keep carting your work around. With a supply of fresh teas, coffees and cake just downstairs, I’ll be making the most of the Dog House for sure. Just when you think it couldn’t get any better than that, it’s dog friendly. So Woody can come to work with me, result! So it’s a paws up from us. If you’re looking for a dog friendly café in Truro, Lily’s is the place to go. A great creative space right in the heart of the city. To keep up to date with our adventures in dog friendly Cornwall, be sure to follow us on Instagram! We were kindly invited to a complimentary visit to Lily’s of Truro. All opinions are my own, they are incredibly dog friendly and we had an amazing time! Great blog post! Putting this one on our last for our holidays in a few weeks! Great to see vegan options! Yes, they cater for all sorts of requirements, which is great to see. There’s always delicious cakes being baked and they make their own Chai Latte syrup too! This is awesome… we love it! Great blog that helps spread the love for local businesses. Do let us know if you’d like us to share the fact that they have hot desks available for rent on our stories #SpreadTheLove Wonderful community spirit, we just LOVE it ???
My blog has a new home!! Hello lovely followers… I have finally made my trek across the country and back to Massachusetts. It was rad and I’ll be posting about it on my new blog, Style to Glow! I actually transferred almost all of my posts from here onto the new blog so all of the content will still be there. Why the change? Well, I wanted my new blog to incorporate more health and nutrition related posts and I felt like I needed to change the name to reflect that. If you have the time, you can check out the About page and if you like where the blog will be heading, then please follow! I hope to see you all over there :) xo, Tiffany
Surfacing I have been gone for five days. My house is a mess and my suitcase remains unpacked at the foot of my bed. I had to go back to work. I have painting to do. And Little League. And laundry. I have to shampoo the carpet. I have two paintings to finish before Father’s Day and I don’t know, 20? more to do after that. So what I’m sayin’ is that I’m busy. Crazy busy. Good busy. Someone send coffee. June 23rd, 2010 at 3:00 am Congrats on being “good” busy! Woo Hoo! 🙂
When the Apple Watch Series 7 landed at Apple's California Streaming event in September, it was newsworthy for what it didn't have. Rumors had swirled for months about a bigger battery and new design, but instead, the Series 7 is basically a Series 6 with only the slightest upgrades. So naturally, we're expecting the Apple Watch Series 8 to bring everything we didn't get with the Series 7. That would be a new design with flat edges, all-day or maybe multi-day battery life, a faster processor, and new sensors. And a new rumor suggests something else might be on the way too: a new size. CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants Ross Young, who has accurately predicted display specs for iPads and iPhones, has shared some early thoughts on the Apple Watch Series 8. After posing the question, Would you like to see a bigger display on Series 8 of the Apple Watch in 2022? he writes, Don't be surprised if there are 3 sizes next year… Don't be surprised if there are 3 sizes next year...— Ross Young (@DSCCRoss) October 12, 2021 That would be the first time Apple offered three sizes of Apple Watch. The current sizes are 41mm and 45mm, which are already the largest Apple has made. Apple hasn't offered options beyond the two sizes introduced with the original Apple Watch, so a third option would represent a major expansion of the line. Presumably, a third option would be around 50mm, which would rival the largest wristwatches from Invicta and Citizen. Apple is also expected to add a new cheaper Max option to the iPhone 14 line, so 2022 could be a huge year for people who like large screens.

Embargoed till Monday 26 October 2015 DOWNLOAD PRESS RELEASE HERE The Family Holiday Association welcomes today’s debate on term-time holidays in the House of Commons. The charity believes that holidays enjoyed together make for happier, healthier and stronger families. Unfortunately millions of struggling parents and children in the UK are missing out on any kind of break away from home. Research has shown that holidays provide a wide range of physical, educational, emotional, cultural and communal benefits to children and their families; benefits that all too many families are denied. A good education and school attendance go hand in hand but the Family Holiday Association believes that head teachers should be allowed to take a common sense approach to allowing some families to take a break in term time. Working on a case-by-case basis, schools can work with parents to decide on what is best for a child. The charity works with schools across the UK and teachers see the positive impact a break can have – even a term-time break. Struggling parents want to be able to provide their children with the holiday experiences that many of us take for granted. Family bonds can be strengthened and rejuvenated by helping them take a simple short break that they would not ordinarily be able to afford. Even a simple break at the British seaside can contribute to an improvement in a child’s educational attainment, and by assigning school work or projects authorised absence can provide a constructive way of making the break relevant to the child’s classroom work. John McDonald, Director of the Family Holiday Association, said: “There are different kinds of school absences. Persistent truants need a lot of attention, help and support, but then there are the parents who want to take their children on holiday for the odd few days but can’t afford the peak time costs. We need to be fair to the many struggling families in the UK for whom a peak-time break is simply beyond their means. A common sense and collaborative approach will help ensure the best decisions are made about a child’s education and welfare.” Notes to editors - Members of Parliament are debating an e-petition relating to term-time leave from school for holiday in Westminster Hall on 26th The debate was allocated by the House of Commons Petitions Committee after an online petition secured more than 100,000 signatures. It is being led by Steve Double MP. - The Family Holiday Association was established in 1975 and is a charity that provides simple UK breaks to families from across the country who are not normally able to afford a break away from home. The charity helps over 3,700 families a year (more than 12,000 children and adults), sending struggling families on breaks to the seaside, as well as arranging special group breaks, or projects, that focus on schools, family learning, citizenship or healthy breaks. These are families that face daily hardship made worse through illness, bereavement or disability. Families come to the charity via a referral system. Assessments and requests are made through a third party referral system by individuals interested in a family’s welfare – social workers, health professionals, head teachers etc. The charity frequently helps large school groups organise a joint-break away. In 2015 the charity is marking its 40th year of helping families by providing them with a much needed break.

<< The IWF, headquartered in Budapest, Hungary, had a serious internal fight this month. The Executive Committee deprived the American Papandrea of the executive chairman's power through a video conference on the 14th. In the following two days, they appointed two transitional chairmen. 总部位于匈牙利布达佩斯的IWF在本月进行了认真的内部斗争。执行委员会通过14日的视频会议剥夺亚博棋牌有保障了美国帕潘德里亚行政主席的权力。在接下来的两天内，他们任命了两名过渡主席。 Since then, there have been new developments in the plot of internal fighting every day. The opposition of former IWF chairman Agen, and the chairman of the European Union Urso and Papandrea have resigned from the executive committee. 从那时起，内部战斗的情节每天都有新的发展。 IWF前主席阿根（Agen）的反对派以及欧盟Urso和Papandrea主席已从执行委员会辞职。 Dole, who resigned on the 19th, is a British national and a compatriot and assistant of the current Transition Chairman Irani. He is also the representative of the IWF in the International Federation of Summer Olympics, responsible for medical and scientific consultation. On the same day Dole resigned, the British Weightlifting Association issued a statement, also calling for the collective resignation of the IWF Executive Committee. 多尔（Dole）于19日辞职，是英国国民，现任过渡主席伊朗人的同胞和助手。他还是国际夏季运动联合会在国际夏季奥林匹克联合会的代表，负责医亚博棋牌有保障学和科学咨询。在多尔辞职的当天，英国举重协会发表了一项声明，还呼吁国际举联执行委员会集体辞职亚博棋牌有保障。 The IWF had previously announced that it would hold a congress in Lausanne, Switzerland or Istanbul, Turkey to elect a new chairman and executive committee at the end of April next year, and Dole believes that it is "too late" to wait until April to re-elect. In view of the development of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Dole also suggested that the congress be held directly through video conference. IWF此前曾宣布，它将在明年4月底在瑞士洛桑或土耳其伊斯坦布尔举行一次大会，以选举新的董事长兼执行委员会，而Dole认为，等到4月再召开会议“为时已晚”。重选。考虑到新的冠状肺炎流行病的发展，Dole还建议通过视频会议直接召开大会。 There is not much time left for the IWF. The International Olympic Committee will determine the Olympic Games in Paris in December this year and the allocation of quotas for each event. This is also the reason why Doll called for a re-election as soon as possible. IWF的时间不多了。国际奥委会将确定今年12月在巴黎举行的奥林匹克运动会以及每项赛事的配额分配。这也是Doll要求尽快重选的原因。 "Only a thorough reform can save the IWF. Therefore, I suggest that you immediately ask all the vice-chairmen and the executive committee to resign collectively." Dole said in a letter to Irani, "then you should seek the IOC and With the support of the International Federation of Summer Olympic Games, independent experts are responsible for internal reforms and congresses for re-elections." “只有彻底的改革才能挽救国际货币基金组织。因此，我建议你立即要求所有副主席和执行委员会集体辞职。”多尔在致伊朗的信中说：“那么，您应该寻求国际奥委会，并在国际夏季奥林匹克运动会联合会的支持下，由独立专家负责内部改革和国会改

All Images: Courtesy of Alexander Gray Associates, New York Throughout the 1960s, a disparate number of young Korean artists discarded realism and figuration and adopted a monochromatic palette and artistic techniques that highlighted the flatness of the canvas as a foundation for later accretions and the plastic qualities of the used materials. The Korean Monochrome painters’ emphasis on materiality was intended to intensify the viewer’s encounter with the artwork, and consequently, to destroy the traditional hierarchy of power between the artist and the viewer.. Overcoming the Modern is the first Danseakhwa exhibition in New York City featuring paintings and works on paper by some of the leading figures of this group of artists. It. Through a selection spanning three decades of artistic production, the exhibition highlights the artists’ efforts to make art that defies national identity and cultural production. Artists: Chung Sang-Hwa, Ha Chong-Hyun, Hur Hwang, Lee Dong-Youb, Lee Ufan, Park Seo-Bo and Yun Hyong‑Keun.

About Me... (--update : go see--) My name is Norm Tumlinson and I am the student pastor at Grace Church in Orlando, FL. I have a wonderful wife and a pretty crazy wiener dog named Pancho Villa. We spend alot of time out in the sun, we love the beach, we enjoy grilling out and spending time with friends and family. We are both transplants to the state of Florida. But after almost 5 years it seems like home. We love being in our new house and are looking forward to what God has in store for us. But back to the blog... This blog is really a heterogeneous mixture of life, faith, culture, student ministry, bad food, funny videos and pretty much everything else inbetween. I know Guy Kawasaki says to "niche thyself", but my intent of this blog is not to evangelize my new book or product, or to make me look cooler than I (already) am, it's just written for entertainment and amusement, with the occasional shot of wisdom from the road in ministry. I hope you enjoy the posts within. And please feel free to comment. Peace!
Some licensed medical marijuana growing facilities in Troy are located in industrial buildings in the Maple Road and Stephenson Highway area. Photo by Deb Jacques TROY — The City Council, by consensus, chose not to opt in or out of allowing and regulating medical marijuana growing facilities, waiting instead to see what issues opt-in municipalities face later. The Troy City Council held a study session and public hearing on medical marijuana Jan. 22. “There won’t be any vote this evening,” said Mayor Dane Slater. “Any vote would be at a regular City Council meeting at a later date.” Several residents and community group representatives spoke at the public hearing. “We don’t want to be known as the marijuana capital of Michigan,” said Troy resident Jim Werpetinski. Nancy Morrison, director of the Troy Community Coalition for the Prevention of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, expressed concerns that medical marijuana could be the next “big tobacco,” and she described marijuana as a “gateway drug. We don’t want to normalize marijuana and have them (young people) think it’s no big deal.” However, Ted Daniels, executive director of the National Cannabis Security Association, said that local regulations bring control. “Most problems are at dispensaries,” said Daniels, who noted that he is not a Troy resident. Resident JoAnn Preston said she wants to know what opt-in communities stand to gain, and she said she doesn’t want such facilities “near our children.” Resident Jim Naughton said he moved to Troy 17 years ago because it’s a safe city. “It’s important to keep our brand,” he said. Resident Amy Brown said medical marijuana labs are designed to keep the marijuana contained and regulated. “You are already in a city that has this,” said Mark Drawn, referring to licenses for registered caregivers to currently operate marijuana growing facilities in Troy. “Allow the council to create the proper regulation,” he said. The state of Michigan began to accept license applications Dec. 15 for medical marijuana growing facilities that allow applicants to request a license before they’ve secured a location. In September 2016, state lawmakers passed and the governor signed into law three bills that create a licensing and regulatory framework for medical marijuana, including the Michigan Medical Marihuana Facility Licensing Act, which allows commercial facilities to grow up to 1,500 plants, and for five types of licenses for the grow operations to be stacked together in one facility. The MMMFLA introduces five kinds of licenses: grower, processor, provisioning center, secure transporter and safety compliance center licenses. Growing or cultivating medical marijuana is organized into three classes: growing up to 500 plants, 1,000 plants or 1,500 plants. Processing licenses relate to extraction, which involves taking the product and extracting its oils for patients who may have epilepsy or multiple sclerosis. Provisioning centers are more commonly known as dispensaries. Secure transporters move the product, while safety compliance centers use an independent testing lab to assess the product. There are approximately 55 designated caregiver grow facilities for up to 72 plants in 33 buildings located in industrial/business districts in Troy. The exact number of facilities was not available at press time. Council weighs in Troy City Councilman Dave Henderson said he is against Troy opting in. “I don’t think it’s a good fit for us,” he said. “I don’t think we need to embrace it.” Councilman Ed Pennington said he is not in favor of dispensaries, but he is in favor of growing facilities, which he noted are located in warehouses that were previously empty, and if the city does not opt in, there would be vacant buildings. “If we opt in for grow facilities only, we limit the number of growers,” Pennington said. “My issue is it seems the city of Troy does the bulk of enforcing, and the state gets the bulk of the revenue,” said Councilman David Hamilton. “Why don’t we sit back and wait a year, see what the effect is, wait and see until the uncertainty is resolved?” City Councilwoman Ellen Hodorek noted that she is pro medical marijuana, but she is not comfortable with the current laws. She described Troy as a bedroom community. “The city of Troy has this brand. I’m really proud of being a family-friendly community.” She said she favors waiting to take any action, but if she had to vote that night, she would have been “inclined to opt out.” “We don’t need to rush in,” said Councilman Ethan Baker. “This doesn’t feel right to me … to make any firm decisions right now. This is a big deal for our city. I’m not ready.” “Given our city’s values and what we take pride in, I’m not comfortable opting in,” said Councilwoman Edna Ibrahim. She said the council should re-evaluate the issue at a later date. “I think we publicly have to make a decision,” Slater said. He said he is in favor of council voting on the matter sooner, rather than later. Troy City Attorney Lori Grigg-Bluhm said the soonest the state would issue licenses would be March. In March, the council will reconsider a moratorium on issuing permits to registered caregivers to operate marijuana growing facilities; the moratorium expires in April. The council approved a 180-day moratorium last April, then extended it for another 180 days in October. Staff Writer Nick Mordowanec contributed to this report.

Articles 12 Steps for Successful Rhodium Plating By Stuller Technical TeamWith modern alloys, how do jewelers achieve a really white color? The answer to that question is Rhodium Plating. A quality rhodium plated finish should be standard procedure on all white gold mountings but this leads to another frequently asked question, how do I get a good rhodium plated finish? To answer that question let's begin with the basic principles. First and foremost the piece needs to be polished to a bright finish. And if the piece is not clean, it will not plate! Twelve Steps to Successful Rhodium Plating 1) Polish to a brilliant high finish 2) Clean thoroughly in an ultrasonic cleaner 3) Rinse in distilled water. 4) Steam Clean 5) Electro clean: 120°F, 4 volts for 2 minutes in a stainless beaker with the positive lead attached to the beaker, negative attached to the piece being plated. OR 120°F, 4 volts for 2 minutes in a glass beaker with a stainless steel anode, positive lead attached to the stainless anode, negative attached to the piece being plated. 6) Rinse in clean distilled water 7) Activator: room temp, no voltage, 30 seconds 8) Rinse in clean distilled water 9) Dip in fresh distilled water (When plating silver, use nickel mirror or palladium solution 120°F, 2 volts, for 2 minutes using a nickel anode. Palladium is recommended due the large amount of people that have allergic reactions to nickel.) 10) Rhodium plate: Room temperature, 4.5 volts, 20-30 seconds, negative lead attached to piece being plated, positive lead to platinized titanium anode. 11) Rinse in clean distilled water 12) Steam clean then dry. Try using a blow dryer to heat dry the piece. (Allow item to cool before handling if going this route.) Hepful Hints - Use a gold hook to suspend object from alligator clip, never steel. - Suspend object in solution with current ON - Be sure voltage setting is constant when actually plating piece Critical Issues 1) Temperature Control: Minor changes = inconsistent and poor results 2) Current Control: Never more than 3.5 volts for Rhodium, 3.5 is better 3) Proper Rinsing: Using distilled water for about a minute Safety 1) Safety glasses are a must 2) When skin contact occurs, neutralize with a paste of baking soda. Rinse with plenty of water. 3) Protect skin and clothing with rubber gloves and neoprene apron. 4) As rhodium plating may produce some acidic fumes, it is recommended to work under good ventilation and to wear a NIOSH approved mask when plating. Troubleshooting Rhodium plates black: - Mounting is not clean - Current is set to high, try lowering amperage 1.5-2 amps and longer times 1 - 2 minutes for best results - Rhodium solution is contaminated. Give your bath a carbon treatment? We made it easy to start with our rhodium plating kit. Item #45-0150 includes the following: - 10 amp rectifier (45-4030) - Platinized titanium anode (45-0321) - Stainless steel anode (45-0326) - 3 - 600ml pyrex beakers (45-6400) - 3 lip covers (45-6401) - An immersion thermometer (45-6420) - A double burner (45-7120) - Activator (45-2040) - Electrocleaner (45-2020) - Pyrex beaker (45-6400) - 24K Gold anode (45-0334) - 14K Yellow gold plating solution (45-2120) For Plating of Two-Tone, Yellow & White Gold Jewelry Add the Following: - Masking Lacquer (45-7990) - Lacquer stripper (45-7995) Recommended Ventilation for Plating: - Solder pure w/rhodium filter (47-4099) - Ductless fume hood (47-3085)
ESS Crossbow Photochromic Ballistic Eyeshield - ESS Eyepro The ESS Crossbow Photochromic eyeshield are created using Transition Optics... Martial arts instructor Hans Marrero demonstrates a suspect control technique during a defensive tactics seminar at TREXPO West. Unlike many police trade shows, the Law Enforcement Tactical Response Show & Conference (TREXPO) gives officers an opportunity to go hands on with weapons at the range day and with defensive tactics in the seminar program. TREXPO West 2003, held March 11-14 in Long Beach, Calif., featured a broad slate of classroom and hands-on seminars. Some of the most popular were the defensive tactics programs. On Tuesday, martial artists Hans Marrero and Louis Marquez taught police officers a variety of skills for disarming assailants, taking on larger opponents, and other close-quarter combat skills. Marrero is the chief instructor for Taser International and the former chief instructor for the Marine Corps' hand-to-hand combat programs. Marquez is a retired Austin (Texas) Police Department detective and SWAT officer. In addition to the Close Quarter Combat program, other defensive tactics seminars included "Close-Quarter Application of the Startle/Flinch Reflex" led by Tony Blauer, president of Blauer Tactical Confrontation Management Systems; and "Brutally Effective Assault Survival" by Richard Machowicz of the Bukido Institute. The Bukido program is not so much about defensive tactics as it is a way of thinking. Machowicz spent much of the two-hour seminar teaching the students to recognize threats and see targets that can be destroyed to neutralize those threats. Classroom seminars were also well attended. There were at least three programs that focused on officer concerns about weapons of mass destruction. One concentrated on what kinds of devices can be used to disperse WMD agents, another on protective gear, and a third on general WMD knowledge for first responders. Also reflecting the times, four of the classroom sessions involved terrorist interdiction. Instructors from HSS International led courses in ship interdiction and how to assault a train; retired Los Angeles Police Department SWAT commander and National Tactical Officer Association (NTOA) director at large Ron McCarthy presented a session on how local officers can respond to and prevent terrorist attacks; and LAPD detective and bomb tech Ralph Morten taught a 4-hour session on suicide bombers that was restricted to law enforcement personnel. But, of course, TREXPO started as a police tactical show and, even with war and terrorism dominating the public agenda, it remains so. The overwhelming majority of the seminars were not designed to specifically address terrorism. Tactical police sessions included programs covering the selection of police snipers, K-9 units in SWAT operations, active shooter response tactics, executive security, explosive breaching, use of diversionary devices, tactical EMS programs, high-risk warrant service, and gang interdiction. The next TREXPO show and conference is planned for Aug. 18-21 in Chantilly, Va. POLICE magazine and TREXPO would like to thank the sponsors of TREXPO West-Textron Systems, NTOA, Royal Robbins (5.11 Tactical Series garments), RBR Armor, and Crown Gym Mats-for helping make the show an unqualified success. We'd also like to extend our appreciation to the show's hosts: Gene Frice, retired special agent of the California Department of Justice; Robert J. O'Brien, retired Cleveland (Ohio) Police Department SWAT sergeant; Joe Paskvan, retired Cleveland PD sergeant, and Capt. James Stalnaker of the San Bernardino County (Calif.) Sheriff's Department.

Commis chef Janet Kim lodged a complaint with the State Division of Human Rights earlier this month (Apr11) alleging she was targeted while working at Ramsay's eaterie at The London NYC hotel in Manhattan. As the proprietor of the restaurant, Ramsay is named in the papers - but his representative has moved swiftly to distance the TV chef from the scandal. A spokeswoman for the star tells the New York Post, "Neither Gordon Ramsay or (sic) GRH (Gordon Ramsay Holdings) have any responsibility for the operation of the restaurant, including anything to do with human resources, which is entirely the responsibility of the owners."

At times he would have aunties to ask him something. Perhaps the aunties were not as literate to get the meaning of certain ancient story being told in poem form, or perhaps they were asking about Chinese name study.

Dear John Theo LeGro I don’t know anything about love except what it makes me willing to destroy. I thought to love you was to search for you after you were gone. // Late night, fingers humming above the keyboard, I revise and revise and revise and never send some version of I was thinking about you / I was thinking about you / again / I found you / again / in the dark / digging through the Internet / for night blooming flowers / the color red / Coney Island / why I can’t stop / your name / a common name / again // There is an exquisite pain in imagining your future. I lick my wounds and conjure her: someone brave, very beautiful, who will open jars for your mother when her bad arm hurts, and lick sweat from the hollow of your throat when you walk into her arms after mowing the lawn, smelling like every green thing I tried to grow and failed to keep alive. // One idea that strikes me dumb with terror: that the rest of my life will slide like a rope lowered inch by inch out the window of a tower. I will descend from ache to ache. You won’t be at the bottom, or anywhere. // The longer it’s been, the tighter my memory grips what it can. How you opened all my beer cans. How I could never tell you the right way home. The night warm as skin in the front seat of your car, your hand gentle at my throat, my legs falling open in the lampless dark. The gleaming geese dappling the lake’s broad blue chest. That song you sent me. Would it be love, if you were the last thing I ever remembered? Would it matter?

Corbyn Fan Says Labour Has “Betrayed The North” Over Second Referendum Backing 25 February 2019, 19:27 \| Updated: 25 February 2019, 19:30 A Jeremy Corbyn supporter told Nigel Farage Labour had “betrayed the North” over its backing of a second Brexit referendum. Tonight, it emerged Labour would back another vote on Britain’s EU exit to stop a “damaging Tory Brexit being forced on the country”. The party will support or put forward an amendment in favour of a public vote in a bid to avoid such a scenario. “One way or another, we will do everything in our power to prevent no-deal and oppose a damaging Tory Brexit based on Theresa May's overwhelmingly rejected deal,” the Labour leader said. "That's why, in line with our conference policy, we are committed to also putting forward or supporting an amendment in favour of a public vote to prevent a damaging Tory Brexit being forced on the country." The move risks infuriating Leave-backing Labour supporters in the North of the country. And James from Leeds, usually a fan of Mr Corbyn, was one of them. “He has caved in to save his own leadership,” the furious caller told Nigel Farage.

"Spring Poppies" was the first is a series of seasons wall hangings. The design incorporates applique, embroidery, and layered free hand quilting. a four seasons commission for the Wheatfield Public Library, Wheatfield, IN. , the concept,design, execution and quilting are by Darlene DeVries. Summer Dreams Autumn Leaves This lovely autumn scene was a true pleasure to make especially since that is my favorite time of year. I love the colors and smells. I cut out hundreds of leaves to attach to the tree and to have falling softly on the ground. I had a difficult time at first on how to 'make a tree'. But I looked up and out my window and the model was right in front of me. Then is was smooth sailing the rest of the way. Each leaf and the trees are individually cut out and raw edged appliqued' on the wallhanging. I quilted all the elements down in this quilt with a free motion/wind blown style quilting. As in the Autum leaves wall hanging I did another tree that I pictured in a nice town park. The limbs laiden with snow nestled in and around the branches was a must. With maybe a leaf still hanging on the branch out of stubborness. Then the lamp post giving the scene a bit more interest. Standing back to take a look, it still needed something. It took me several days looking at the wall hanging to realize...it needed a bench! So there goes the name of the wall hanging...The Waiting Bench.

First Year Second Semester – J of Hearts Note: Please don’t read it in the little pop-up for the reader. For some reason it doesn’t reflect my later edits (which I often make a lot of after publishing), so please click ‘view original’. The second semester began, and each person returned to their room in the Hearts Class dorm. Unlike the other students, the inside of my room is almost the same. Even if it’s the same, there’s no problem after all. The degree of calm in my dorm room compared to my home is proportional to the amount that my stepmother and Dominique aren’t able to meddle. Camille’s room is closeby too. It seems that the interior of Camille’s room is also mostly unchanged. However, when it comes to her room, because of her magic tools or magic experiments, the look of her room can completely change even if her decoration remains the same. In a way, you could say she has great sense. In contrast to us, His Highness has completely changed his room to his tastes. His room already looks like a completely different one from his old one. If I remember correctly, it’s almost time for the opening ceremony, huh… Putting on my coat, I left the room. “Achille.” Just as I left, I met with His Highness. It seems that Camille has already left. “Hey, how far have you gone with Camille? I wonder if she’s more or less getting used to romance as well.” “…We haven’t gone anywhere, but during the summer break, she got a bit more used to it.” When I was making Camille do her homework, I decided to try hugging her through the whole thing after all. During the last few days of the summer break, it seems that she got used to it too, and started sitting on my lap as though it was natural. “Today’s news: Raiga’s given up on his rights to succession.” “Raiga-sama did?” “Mn, only we of the royal family know right now.” “And why is that?” “Because he became a papa! I’m sure it’s to protect Mei, huh! He probably wants to avoid unnecessary conflict.” His Highness smiled from the depths of his heart. “Apparently his fiancée, the Q of Spades Mei Zakro is pregnant.” “Pregnant?” Even those two aren’t even married just, just when did they start doing those kind of things I wonder…? Or rather, even though they’re both still students… They’re really too haphazard. “Oh? Achille, you look like you don’t agree.” “No, I feel that it is a happy thing that the number of succession candidates has lowered.” As a person supporting His Highness, it’s one of the things I couldn’t help worrying about. “Really? I was sure that you were unhappy because you were jealous of Raiga.” “…I am not that selfish, you know? If Camille wants to continue going to school, then I will wait until graduation.” “But if you did it now, then you wouldn’t need to worry about the Topagerian prince stealing Camille anymore, right?” Even though I’ve gone to the trouble of holding myself back, His Highness says nothing but things to sway my determination. He probably doesn’t mean anything bad by it, but I wish he would stop irresponsibly inciting me. “…No matter what you say, Your Highness, I place importance on Camille’s wishes.” “Hm~mm, well, I get the feeling that Camille isn’t dissatisfied with you either, after all. I completely intend on getting in the way of the meddling from the neighbouring nation for you two, you know.” And in truth, because His Highness has been stopping them behind doors, up until now there have been few large movements by the neighbouring country. I’m thankful to him for this. I wish that Topageria would just give up already. ※ “Achille Jade.” Just before I entered the auditorium, a schoolgirl called out to me. It’s a face that I recognise. If I remember correctly, she was the person that Camille was drunkenly associating with at the entrance ceremony. After that, I had to apologise and reimburse her for her uniform and various things like that, so I remember her. She came and talked to me about weird stuff as well, after all. “Achille, I’ll head in first, okay?” His Highness probably thinks that I’m being courted by one of the noble girls again. He disappeared considerately into the auditorium. Certainly, this chain of events would normally lead to a confession, but… But I feel that the girl in front of me has an atmosphere different to those noble girls. “I need to have a talk with you.” “…Please keep it short.” First of all, the girl looked around, before leading me behind the auditorium. It was dark here, and there was nobody around. Is it something that she wants to that badly keep a secret? “What do you think about this country?” “…Is this, a solicitation of some sort?” Religion, or a political movement? …We only just entered second semester, so I wish she would just give it a break. Outside of work, I don’t want to get involved with such bothersome things. “That’s not it. No, perhaps it is…” The girl played with her curled cinnamon hair as she talked. “I want you to become our ally. Speaking simply, I want you to work with us to save this country…” Her olive eyes gazed at me strongly. “…The extremist faction of the commoners?” They’re surprisingly close by, huh. The extremist commoners are steadily gaining supporters, and even now within town, though there are those that don’t directly participated in extremist activities, they support the extremist in the shadows. I don’t know how involved she is in the movement, but it would probably be better to be careful. “Calling us extremists is quite rude, isn’t it. Though we certainly do get called that. You’re from the commoner class, so you should understand as well, right? The unfairness of this world…” “…” Why does this woman know about my background? “Even though the orphanage you lived in was managed by the country, don’t you think it was a terrible environment?” What’s with this woman? For her to know even about the orphanage. The orphanage that I belonged to should have collapsed a few years after I was taken from there. That’s why there are few people who know about that place now. Despite that, why does she know about how the orphanage was back then…? However, whatever she says, I’ve already decided on my reply. “I refuse.” Hearing my words, her solitications became even stronger. “Why? Even you should think that the state of the country is abnormal. Are you refusing because of your viscount’s family? Or is the cause that fiancée of yours?” Her face twisted into a sneer. “Honestly, I’m constantly amazed by that romance-obsessed woman. To be picking up men even in a different world… She can’t distinguish this world from a game, can she?” “Are you insulting Camille?” I have no idea what this woman is saying, but it’s certain that it’s nothing good. Though Camille vomited on her uniform in the past, there should be such a thing as choosing your words better. “The one being insulted by that woman is you.” The corners of the woman’s mouth rose in confidence for some reason. “Her real form, do you know it?” “…May I ask you what you think you know about my fiancée?” To the end, I didn’t let my veneer of grace crumble. I’m actually becoming a little irritated though. “Your fiancée know everything about your upbringing. Your personality, the actions you’ll probably take, your behaviour, and as a result of these, the future you’ll probably meet as well; she knows all of these, and on top of that has gotten close to you, you know? That woman.” Well, Camille knows that I’m an illegitimate child after all, and we’re childhood friends so she knows my personality as well. And as for my future, we’re planning on getting married. On top of that, we move together. “So what?” “Achille Jade! You’re being tricked, you know. By that woman. That woman calculated everything to get close to you. To make you hers.” “Hahh…” ‘To make you hers’, is not something a young girl should be saying. And, if I had to say, the one making anybody his is me. “Hey, you’re not supposed to be somebody who is so stupidly involved in romance, you know? You want to change this country, right?” The girl talked fervently about the danger the country was in. Gee, all of the things she’s mentioned are things that I obviously know already, though. “Certainly, I do think that I would like to change the country, but… I have no intention of working with you. At any rate, if I was going to change the country, I would do so with a different method.” Not overturning the country through extremist activities, but soundly bettering the country from within. Even if it takes longer, if even one less sacrifice can be made, I would choose that path. And tentatively, it’ll be a country that His Highness will be managing after all. I don’t want to do anything to mess it up. “How regretful. I’m disappointed… You’ve been completely led by that woman, haven’t you. Even though I thought I could use the J of Hearts.” The woman muttered that with cold eyes, before raising her hands to the air. <Previous Chapter \| Imouto \| Next Chapter> 40 thoughts on “First Year Second Semester – Chapter 2” Still no one it seem so first thnx for the chapter Thanks for translating ” Apparently his fiancée, the Q of Spades Mei Zakro ” I thought K, Q, J is only game terms ? its is nickname ? that people in game world recognize ? I think Mei talks about the 10 of Spades when she gets abducted, so it must be common sense since Mei doesn’t know ‘Cartes à Jouer’. It’s actually in-universe term, kinda like “Prince” nicknames in many shoujo stories. The school have 4 factions, each with its own dorm, and the top 13 of each (though the criteria is not explained) gets the card titles. Oh hi thanks for the chapter _(‘w’」∠)_ _(:3」∠)_ I think, the other worlders, are the only ones who call them that… or am I mistaken? Ah!

Conspiracy recruitment 101, for dummies. Lesson 1, don’t say shady, unintelligible things when trying to undermine the targets trust in someone close. Your merit is less than their, the goal is to weaken their standing and shore up yours. Lesson 2, don’t downright incriminate yourself before incriminating the target. It’s just plain stupid to give an undecided a situation where they lose if they do anything but turn you in. Lesson 3, if you have unreliable information, don’t flaunt it in front of someone who can easily refute it. Always allude, never show your proof. The smoke and mirrors is already more validity than anything you can provide. If you forget these rules, about 92% of your attempts will fail, ending in your death or imprisonment. Additionally, your incompetence will scare off any real potential assets, good luck at success with only idiots. LikeLiked by 7 people healous => jealous (thank you, I learned a new word here) himfor => him for remmeber => remember know you? => you know ? She seems to know Aimi. One of her classmates in high school? Or could she be Aimi’s otaku buddy? I think she said it because she was one person that played the game and she was all “Royce-sama~!” I referred to the following line. // “Honestly, I’m constantly amazed by that romance-obsessed woman. To be picking up men even in a different world.” That line gives a hint that she knows Aimi to a certain extent. At least she seems to know that Aimi got entangled in a love affair in her original world. Nah, she’s Heroine. By now it’s obvious that all 4 Queen are acting very differently from the games. Even more, they are different in personalities. So she can make guess that they are same as her. From that, it’s easy to take step. Though, damn girl is stupid. Why not making contact with other Queens before choosing the revolution route? Camille is prolly a lost cause, but Beatrix and Meiko should still be approachable. If you read closer and think about it, it’s clear she doesn’t know Aimi. She wasn’t an otaku and put on a act of being a perfect student at school. She also was never what one would call romance obsessed before or after the body swap. It seems a lot of the heroine’s beliefs are founded on her misundestanding of what is going on. LikeLiked by 1 person thanks for the chapter…😆 Thanks for the translation! Wow, that Heroine is quite annoying. I’m guessing she’s trying to go for the K of Clovers route, but now you have what? All 4 of the queens knowing each other and probably will ally against her. Anyway, I’m guessing she’ll try to use her large pool of mama to brainwash Achilles, but thank goodness they researched forbidden magic just a few chapters earlier. Hope he can defend himself right, Achille is my favorite character in this series after all hehe LikeLiked by 1 person From the way she’s bashing Camille, I would think she’s avoiding all routes and focusing on the revolution. Maybe to find a way back home. Hopefully, Achille is okay from this attack/trap. LikeLiked by 1 person Thanks for the chapter. Well, that’s settle it. The Final Antagonist is the “Heroine”. And it seem like this one still seem delusional that the world they are in is still like the game they played. LikeLiked by 2 people She knows but is weird because she also said that Camille still belive this is a game…..but if this idiot heroine knows isn’t a game what the hell She’s trying to get the bad end LikeLiked by 1 person Well technically, it’s not “the Bad End” persay, as much as it is “one of the ‘Good Ends’ if you do the Clover Route.” – Raiga: Mei get’s sent to the lustful asshat that D was gonna be wed to. Raiga become’s king. Royce gets executed. – Royce: Camille entire everything was destroyed. Royce has a happily ever after. – Baka-Sama: Bea get’s exiled, Royce get’s house arrested. – Clover Dude: Maid-Sama get’s exiled. Royce (and all the royal family and lots of nobles) get executed. Commoner’s rule society, Frau gets a happily ever after though. Regardless of whom Frau (“the Heroine”) choses. She gets a happily ever after, while everyone else around her suffers. Thank you for the new chapter! Thank ya fer the chapter. Hitsugi Usagi-sama Thanks! At this point, the heroine can’t really be call heroine anymore. What a horrible monster she is. She can still achieve happiness without this cloak and dagger shit. Even if the K of Spades route is definitely closed off, she has a chance with the others if she made a good enough impression on them. Its annoying to realize that, compared to the other Qs, she seems to have done nothing to better herself. I’m fairly sure even the Heroine has a “Bad End” coded several times in the game. I find the irony of so many condeming the heroine, because she is condeming Camille when she doesn’t know anything about her when we still know nothing of her, delicious. LikeLiked by 1 person Uwaaa this is horrid to the Heroine, maybe because it doesnt goes according to plan as the original game so she do thing like this….. how unpleasant and because she is the heroine thats why she think she can do anything Hideous woman… Thanks for the chapter y as the heroine pick one of the original paths when u can change it? normally thats wat people do w/ foresight…. God… an evil Heroine… How annoying…. Her attitude is a catty lady. I feel like she still thinks she’s in a game – revealing all this information like it’s nothing. K of Hearts is in love with Beatrix K of Spades impregnated his ex-maid, now wife K of Diamonds is useless womanizer K of Clowers is the only one left and even the obstacle(Q of Clovers) not there So the only ending the heroine did now how to go to to become the queen was the Revolution Route. Maybe she also only went into this direction out of despair because suddenly she didn’t know what to do anymore. Bitch Heroine shows herself. Since all the other routes were closed by body switchers, she going with K of clovers & inciting commoner revolution Heroine is becoming the antagonist! Bleh. She’s nowhere near Wakaba-chan. Just who in the world took over the heroine’s body? Some revolutionary politician? A betrayed OP spy/assassin who died from being stabbed in the back and got reincarnated? Maybe a dude and just want everything burn Lol

These two students were former Gospel choirmates at Potomac High School and wanted to bring the joy and excitement they felt about the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Washington College campus. They worked diligently to establish the choir and their hard work in setting a firm foundation has enabled the choir to continue into its fifth year. The choir, under the direction of Reverend Eric Scott, tries to share with people an understanding of the love that God feels toward all of us and of His saving grace. All the members of the choir believe in the sincere message of the music that they sing and also believe that Gospel music brings hope and joy to all those who truly hear the message being sent. Their offering of Gospel music incorporates both new and traditional music styles, however, the meaning of the music never changes because the empowering message of it is constant, no matter the style. They consider each event they do as an offering of praise to God, not a performance. The word Gospel means Good News, which is the spiritual message of Jesus Christ. Their music incorporates His message and by their music they try to reach out to those who hear it and draw them to Christ and His salvation. The choir, it's Director, and its members, are committed to the honor and responsibility of bringing forth God's word in song, as well as in their daily lives and ministries. They strive to continue to prove the tremendous power of the words they sing and reflect the greatness of God's holiness, His goodness and His never ending love. 2006-2007 Officers of Gospel Choir are: President - Alycia Moses, [email protected] Vice President - Laura Nace, [email protected] Secretary- Tomeka Scales, [email protected] Treasurer - Mark Stevens, [email protected] Events Coordinator - Ranjan Cardinal [email protected] Advisor - Ann Bourne [email protected] Director - Reverend Eric Scott [email protected] To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Gospel_Choir:
Regular price: $19.95 Buy Now with 1 Credit Buy Now for $19.95 Add to Library for $0.00 This is a short book about little known Civil War incidences. Rowland looked for strange or humorous stories to report on. For example, members of the New York Monument Commission went to hire a sculptor to finish the Statues of Dan Stickle. They discovered the monies had been stolen. You will get a hoot when you discover who was the thief. I found the information about the horses interesting; such as over one million horses died in the Civil War, the life expectancy of the horse was four to six month during the War. I also thought that Rowland’s comment about the South having mostly Calvary horses and the North draft and utility horses to pull wagons and cannons interesting. Rowland claims that this reflected the industrialized North and the agrarian South. Rowland claimed that many of the northern men were poor equestrian riders but were expert at handling teams of horses and in the South, it was reversed. Most of the stories are about individual real people that helps to provide a more personal touch to the War. The book is well written and researched. It is easy to read and full of facts. The author claims it is not a trivia fact book but I used it as such. This is a great book for Civil War history buffs or those hunting for a source book of little known trivia facts. The book is short at about five hours. Fred Sanders does a good job narrating the book. Sanders is a stage and film actor and award winning audiobook narrator. 4 of 4 people found this review helpful A great book. Engaging and informative. Will be using it in my research for a novel set in the civil war as it best describes much of the detail of the day. 1 of 1 people found this review helpful

I've never really read Anne Rice. In high school I tried reading Interview With a Vampire and couldn't get through it, even though I was somewhat goth. I assumed she was overrated, though I understood why she was important. Though I wasn't interested in her writing, I was interested in her a person, particularly since her conversion to Christianity. There've been a bunch of questions I wanted to ask her about that, and lucky for me, New York magazine handled them for me. Of course, she handled it for me as well. Her first memoir, Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession, was just released, and it deals with exactly that. Anne Rice Answers Some Questions I've never really read Anne Rice.

By Matt Buxton The Manly Sea Eagles have stunned the Illawarra Cutters and overcome a 16-point deficit to secure a 32-20 victory, their first win of the season. Jayden Hodges, David Williams, and Kurt Aldridge inspired the Sea Eagles’ impressive comeback after an abysmal opening 30 minutes of the game. The Sea Eagles were under extreme pressure from the start, as halfback Jack Littlejohn kicked the ball out on the full twice in the opening four minutes. The Cutters raced away to a 16-point lead after just 28 minutes, whilst having a majority of possession and excellent ball control. Consecutive sets for the Cutters led to a solo try by halfback Drew Hutchinson just seven minutes into the game. He converted his own try. Both sides blew chances before Cutters winger Kiti Glymin scored in the left corner after finishing a nice backline shift. Hutchinson missed from the sideline and it was 10-0 after 18 minutes. Hodges was held up in an effort to finally get the Sea Eagles on the board, but poor kicking, discipline, ball control, and execution meant the Cutters had most of possession early on and were constantly attacking the Sea Eagles’ line. Adam Tuimavave-Gerrard eventually ran through an enormous gap and scored, highlighting the substandard defensive performance of the Sea Eagles, putting the Cutters 16-0 in front just 28 minutes into the game. It was looking to be a grim afternoon for the Sea Eagles, however consecutive line-breaks by Todd Wilson led to back-to-back tries on the stroke of half-time, which gave them some hope going into break. Aldridge crossed for a simple four-pointer to get the Sea Eagles on the board, and Williams scored the try of the afternoon off the kick-off courtesy of a magnificent Brayden Wiliame sideline dash and a Dom Reardon magic pass. The comeback was on. Both tries were converted, and the Cutters led 16-12 at half-time. The second half began poorly for the Sea Eagles, after Cutters fullback Tyron Cranston stripped the ball and scored immediately after the kickoff. Hutchinson’s conversion attempt hit the post, leaving the score at 20-12 to the Cutters. Shortly after the Sea Eagles bombed a certain try, a smart Hodges grubber from dummy half led to Williams second try under the posts to make it 20-18 to the Cutters after 47 minutes. The Sea Eagles declined a shot at penalty goal to tie the scores up in the 59th minute after an indiscretion in front of the uprights, but it turned out to be the correct decision as Hodges burrowed in from dummy half off the back of the penalty to put the Sea Eagles in front for the first time, making it 24-20. Pressure mounted for the Cutters when Jake Marketo was penalised for an ugly spear tackle, as well as two dummy-half passes that went wayward in a matter of minutes. In a sudden twist of fate, it seemed the Cutters had crushed the Sea Eagles comeback hopes in the 74th minute when Rulon Nutria muscled his way over, but it was ruled to be a double movement. The Sea Eagles wrapped the game up when Ben Fritz scored in the corner after collecting a bomb that found the turf and bounced in his direction. The try was converted and the score 30-20. A penalty goal on the stroke of full time gifted the Sea Eagles an extra two points, attaining their first win of the season thanks to a composed Hodges and strong performances by Williams and Aldridge. The Sea Eagles will travel to Aubrey Keech Reserve next week to play Mounties, whilst the Cutters will host the North Sydney Bears at Win Stadium. Manly Sea Eagles 32 (David Williams 2, Ben Fritz, Jayden Hodges, Kurt Aldridge; Kurt Aldridge 6 goals) def. Illawarra Cutters 20 (Tyron Cranston, Kiti Glymin, Drew Hutchinson, Adam Tuimavave-Gerrard tries; Hutchinson 2 goals)
Don’t Laugh. You Just Need to Understand Southerners and Snow… We travel all over the continent speaking, so we have friends from Manitoba to Miami. Practically all of them that live north of the Mason-Dixon Line love to laugh at how we Southerners react to snow. We admit, it is a bit humorous. Hal used to work for the power company. If he stopped at the grocery store on the way home and happened to be wearing a company jacket or hat, the cashier would get eyes as big as saucers. “Do..do..do you know something we don’t?” she’d ask in a panicked voice. “Huh? What are you talking about?” Hal was puzzled. “All that milk!!! Are we going to have snow????” Better grab your milk and bread now, boys and girls. The power company guys are buying supplies. “No, ma’am. We have eight kids. Seven gallons of milk is a normal week for us.” Let’s face it. If the weatherman so much as shows a snowflake on the map, there’s a run on the stores. Milk, bread, and comfort foods take a beating. And there are reasons that aren’t just hysteria. You see, we Southerners don’t like to drive in the snow. Folks say we don’t know how, but many of us actually do pretty well with it; we’ve driven in a snow squall in the Colorado Rockies and crossed the plains of Canada in the teeth of a February gale, so it’s not a matter of “can’t.” We still don’t get out much when it’s snowing, because you’ve got to look out for the other folks — the ones that do see a few flakes cross their windshield and drive straight into the nearest ditch. It’s not all our fault, anyway. Our friends up north know that snow which falls this week is likely to land on snow which was there last week – and will be under the snow which falls next week. They know snow is a long-term proposition, and life’s gotta go on – shovel it out and keep moving. Down here, it’s a temporary condition. Our snow doesn’t last long enough to get muddy and gray. When it only comes once or twice a year and only lasts a couple of days, it just doesn’t make sense for a town to purchase the heavy snowplows and pile up mountains of salt. Leave it alone and it will take care of itself. Our snow isn’t like your snow, either. We were amazed the first time we experienced a real Midwestern snow – you could just sweep it off the windshield. You could kneel down to look under the car and stay perfectly dry – just brush the powder off. Down here, snow is heavy and wet, if we don’t get freezing rain instead. The real problem is ice – it’s not that cold, so snow tends to melt and refreeze as ice. The roads become treacherous; we’ve had more problems driving in our little town than in Canada with two feet on the ground. (Okay, call it 60 centimeters if you like). Ice brings down power lines, too. That’s what all the bread and milk is about. At least we can eat cereal and sandwiches if the power goes out. The Frosted Flakes and Cap’n Crunch always takes a hit when snow’s in the forecast. Snow reminds of us childhood fun and we all tend to revisit childhood in our hearts when the flurries start. Snow is magical in the South. It’s like our Fairy Godmother. That’s a little hard to get if you live with it all the time. The mud. The nasty, dirty snow. The bother. Honestly, it would be awful to have to dress the kids for snow every time we left the house. It’s not like that for us. It’s kind of like a story I once heard Garrison Keillor tell. One day you get on the bus to work and find out you’ve boarded the Liberty Bus. Surprise! You’re not going to work, you’re going to have an adventure instead! ! That’s the way snow works around here. It’s January. It’s gray and cold and rainy. You’re lower than a snake’s belly and the kids all have cabin fever. The weeks to come just look like an endless conveyor belt of drudgery. Day after weary day of work, school, and chores following one after the other. Suddenly you hear a cry of delight, “SNOW!” Someone peeking out the window has seen a lazy flake drift by. Both of us remember crouching by the window as children and watching hopefully for any sign of solid precipitation. When we hear that call, all of us run for the porch. Usually it’s nighttime, and we all peer up at the streetlights for confirmation. “Yes, Yes, I see it! Snow!” Everyone dances around with delight! It’s like God waved His hand over the town and declared a holiday – with an extra helping of beauty and fun. Remember? It’s not really worth the trouble to buy all the stuff we need to get business done. There are a lot of accidents, too. So, most businesses and schools just give up and close. It’s really less trouble. Even if you were open, no one else would be. That’s what’s so magical about it. Sometime in the worst, most dreary part of the year, white stuff falls from the sky. Gray becomes white. The world turns beautiful. And you don’t have to go to work or school! It’s a random holiday! An unexpected holiday in the midst of the most boring months of the year. You wake up expecting a workday slog and you get Christmas instead! Why wouldn’t we go crazy? Who wouldn’t? Here’s to the next Snow Day! Laugh at us if you must. We’ll be making snow angels and eating snow cream, drinking hot chocolate, and building a fire in the fireplace. We’ll all be children again for a day or two. It’s going to be fun! Your friends, Hal & Melanie
