i don't really have an opinion on the age of the earth and how that can be reconciled with the biblical account of how long we've been around. it just really never mattered much to me. if one of our days is like a thousand of His years, then what i can say for certain is that in the big scheme of things, things like that are bigger than our ability to comprehend.
and our comprehension is so incredibly limited.

explain this subject to me.
At one time I had a Pastor who said there is a time span between Gen. 1:1 and Gen 1:2 and in that
period there was another habitation of the earth. It was not important to me then nor is it now.
It is obvious that dinosaurs did indeed inhabit this earth and for now, I can live with that as it is.

.
the theory that earth existed and that a cataclysmic event destroyed the earth prior to the creation account in genesis really does not have any bearing on the bible as it is written to us. IF that theory has any merit, and i'm not saying it does, the theory is that EARTH had been destroyed. it doesn't surmise at all that there were ever human beings before such an event.

I do not care....I choose to believe that God made the Earth, the Heavens and all that is in it, as well as Time...for living man....for I do not see the dead and the Angles have need of such a measurement as time.

AMEN dennis!! i am in total agreement with that.

If thats not enough, lets look at the Hebrew yomin, which is the plural of days. Again, it is used both figuratively, and literally, dependent on context. And context wise, every single time without fail the word yomin is used after a number, it is used to mean literal, consecutive days. So, lets jump over to Exodus 20:11 which reads: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it, so now that we have established, in context, that the Bible says the earth was created in 6 literal 24 hour days from there it is simple enough for anyone to follow the generations all the way up to Jesus day, which is roughly 4000 years (the only variable is how long adam and eve were in the garden, which most scholars believe was around 150 years.
as far as time Ruck, lets use some logic here. Who created time? God did. God created time, God created the 24 hour day. And then God, said that he created the earth, in 6 literal, 24 hour days. Do we know what time is without God telling us what it is? no. without God we would have no idea how long a day would be. For example, if your friend drove to your house and it took him 3 days, and he told you so, you wouldnt say thats preposterous, it must have taken you 5 days, what is that? thats calling your friend a liar. Now, its technically possible your friend is lying to you, he is human after all, but lets apply this to God, who is incapable of lying, and is all-powerful, and created the universe, and everything in it, including time, and He tells you, in His holy, inspired book, that is without flaw, that He created the earth in 6 literal 24 hour days (that he invented) and you go wait, that couldnt be? isnt that calling God a liar? Just food for thought.
And gator, I try to give you the olive branch, and apologize, yet you respond with sarcasm? Real mature. If thats all you can give me then this discussion is over. And its not pertinenant how many animals there are, for God created them all.

There are things we are not going to understand on this side of eternity. I think that one of those things is how old the earth is, along with a lot of other non-salvation issues. I don't know about anyone else, but I have a lot of questions I'd like to ask, but its gonna have to wait a bit, I think.

Second off, its not arrogance, 3000 years of debate does not change the truth-the truth is what the Bible says, and not what I say.
Third, Im not limiting God to anything-Im taking God at His word, which is something all Christians should do. I believe in a God who cannot lie-sure, He could have done it in six seconds, He could have done it in 6 million years, Im not saying He couldnt have. What I am saying is the Bible says that God created the earth in 6 literal, days roughly 6000 years ago, and who am I to call Him a liar. God sait it, it happened, and thats that. To suggest otherwise, is trying to apply our worldly understanding on the Bible. To say that God couldnt have done it in 6000 years, and didnt, even though He said He did, is limiting God, putting Him in a box-and furthermore, calling him liar, in my mind.
You are trying to force a worldly understanding on the Bible, and it does not work, there is no way you can fit millions of years into the context. If you think it is, then you have either not done the research, or you have been thoroughly deceived. And moss is bringing up a good point here, this discussion is going nowhere, you wont listen to valid arguments, you make invalid arguments, when possible, and smart alec comments and attacks everwhere else. If that is the extent of your debate skills, then this discussion needs to end before either one of us becomes angry and becomes tempted to sin in our anger. to that note, I am out. God bless, your brother in Christ the_patriot2012.

Losers adopt a combination of attitudes, approaches and priorities, from a limited vision and a short-term and internal orientation, through cutting corners, to attempts to protect corporate interests, and this locks them into a ‘spiral of descent’. The almost inevitable outcome of their actions and inaction is a struggle to remain viable as a supplier of low-margin commodity work.
Losers become reactive and defensive, get lost in complexity of labyrinthine proportions and the more activities they engage in to break free, the more they become entangled. They introduce changes for changes’ sake. They become neutralized by their lack of imagination and entangled in barbed wire created by their own words and actions. The trick they try to play is to retire or to move on at a high point.
Losers in the battle to become and remain competitive:
· are ‘in their own space’ and relatively oblivious to the needs of others; they do not anticipate and remain unaware of significant external developments and pressing requirements to change;
- lack self-confidence and self-worth and hold back, they are different, can be indicative and find it difficult to commit themselves;
- do not have a compelling rationale and purpose; they are not unique, special or even distinctive;
- are not noticed by people, they are grey and dull, and hence fail to stand out or have an impact;
- copy and follow others; they do not innovate or differentiate themselves from their competitors;
- respond to events; they react to incoming approaches and invitations to tender;
- do not prioritize and focus; they fail to address what is important as a result of being distracted by trivia;
- hoard information and hold on to the reigns of power; they are reluctant to delegate and to trust and involve others;
- remunerate people according to their seniority and status in the management hierarchy;
- are driven by internal personal goals and corporate targets rather than by customer requirements;
- play other people’s games rather than live on their own terms; they become pawns on other people’s chessboards;
- adopt standard approaches and are rigid and inflexible;
- follow fashions and have a penchant for fads;
- define their capabilities in terms of the tangible assets they own and the people they employ;
- are consumers rather than producers of knowledge, understanding and intellectual capital;
- respond unimaginatively and mechanically to business opportunities;
- rely on traditional ‘hard-self’ techniques and undertake win-lose negotiations;
- make little effort to learn from either their experience or that of others;
- hold back and stay aloof; they avoid personal commitments, partnering arrangements and inter-organizational links;
- are selfish in relationships and put the minimum of effort into maintaining them;
- use their customers to achieve their own short-term objectives;
- are cautious and half hearted in their approach to e-business;
- mouth generalizations and they indulge in self-deception and spin;
- live for the moment; they have short time horizons;
- do little to keep competitors out of their key accounts;
- leave the building of customer relationships to specialist sales staff;
- ignore organizations that are supplied by competitors;
- prize their freedom and independence, they prefer to operate alone;
- attempt to protect their interests with small print and avoid the assumption and sharing of risks;
- are secretive and defensive; they build internal and external barriers to create a hard shell;
- offer other employees general training and development that is viewed as a cost;
- fail to equip their people to win new business, create new offerings or build customer relationships;
- are complacent and set in their ways; they are reluctant to think, question and learn;
- confuse the roles of owner-shareholder, manager and director;
- fail to distinguish between operational matters and strategic issues;
- become typecast and locked into certain roles; they tend to end up as commodity suppliers.

Eritrea Steps Up Persecution of Evangelical Christians
Prayer, Writing Campaigns Underway
SANTA ANA, CA (Jan. 6, 2004) – Eritrean police arrested and jailed another Protestant evangelical pastor, taking him and seven of his church members to prison, according to a report from Compass Direct.
Pastor Iyob of the Kale Hiwot Church was arrested off the street on November 23 in Mendefera, a market town about 30 miles south of the capital of Asmara.
In separate arrests the same day, seven of his church members, four men and three women, were taken into custody, according to Compass Direct. Friends of the jailed Christians have not yet been able to confirm the alleged charges against the pastor and his church members.
"But the police are treating them like criminals," local sources told Compass Direct. "They are in prison only because of their faith."
A second new arrest of 10 young women from various Pentecostal churches has also been confirmed..
Fourteen, a country of 4 million located on the Red Sea in East Africa.
While some were arrested by police during meetings for worship in either unrecognized church buildings or private homes, others were accused of possessing Bibles or refusing to return to membership in the dominant Eritrean Orthodox Church..
"It is apparent that the Eritrean government stepped up its persecution of evangelical Christians in 2003," says Open Doors USA President Dr. Carl Moeller. "We need to take action now. Please prayer for our brothers and sisters there and also consider writing letters to protest the treatment of evangelical Christians. You can make a difference!"
Open Doors with Brother Andrew has started a prayer and writing campaign to support our brothers and sisters in Eritrea. Listed below are a few prayer requests. For more prayer requests and information on how and where to send letters of protest, go to the Open Doors USA web site at.
* Pray for the leaders of the evangelical/Protestant congregations. Pray that they will have faith in God, that they will believe His Word and that they will understand their calling and appointment as shepherds of the flock.
* Pray for the members of the congregations. Pray for maturity in their lives and that they will remain faithful to their leaders and fellow Christians. Ask the Lord to bless them with initiative to find ways to encourage and strengthen each other daily.
* Pray for those in prison. Ask the Lord to bless them in a special way each day in order for them to remain faithful to their calling as believers. Ask the Lord to protect them against abuse (especially the women).
* Pray for the families of those in prison. Many of the family members are not believers. Pray that they will be amazed by the willingness of their loved ones to suffer for what they believe.

Can't move chapter down/up using navigator [closed]
I am using Libreoffice 4.0.2 and I have just noticed that when using Writer I can't move a whole chapter (and all its contents) up and down using navigator as I used to do in previous versions.
The problem is that it's not possible to click on icons that allow to increase/decrease one level and move chapters (and subchapters) up and down, although they are displayed (see screenshot here:)
Can anyone tell me how can I solve this problem? I find this feature really handy and time-saving.
Thank you
I can move it now, although I am not sure what did I do.

The negative-inertia mechanism consists of a double-worm drive with a small flywheel attached to the output shaft. By connecting the drive in parallel with the servo load, very high deceleration rates can be obtained. The drive thus effectively cancels most of the load inertia, as long as the load is decelerated. During acceleration, the drive adds slightly to the original load inertia. Characteristic design equations of the system are described, and experimental results presented. The drive is intended mainly for velocity servos, where very high decelerating torques are required without using clutch-brake mechanisms or excessively large servomotors.

Methodology is defined as a method used in a particular field or area. In research methodology, there are different methods used to help in various steps of research process. These are some principles that guide on how to do something. Methodology consist various models that are used by project managers or department managers that helps them in implementing their plans and strategies. These methods are proven methods. They are used because they are reliable. The methods are tested, observed and validated. Validity of a research should be greater because it provides stronger support to your research.
Result methodology provides different ways to solve a problem. This problem is also known as research problem. There are different procedures to answer different research problems. Using a methodology helps in carry out the task systematically.
Research methodology should be selected before starting the research because it helps from starting the project to finishing the project. It helps you to choose the manner in which you will collect the data and the manner in which you will assemble the data. There are main three types research methodologies, they are qualitative research, quantitative research and mixed methods.
1. Qualitative Research – Qualitative research is a type of research that gives an idea about the intentions and motivation behind the research. It collects non-numeric data. It tells us about the characteristics, definitions, its advantages and disadvantages, etc. it gives the in-depth information about it. Quality is the main factor that is searched rather than the quantity. The data that is collected is usually unstructured or semi – structured. Methods to collect qualitative data are group discussions, individual interviews, observations, etc.
• Interview – In this method, face to face interviews are conducted. This is the best information gathering tool that helps to clear all the doubts and answers all the questions like why, how and what. Even the respondent does not hesitate while individual interviews are conducted. It is also a great chance to study the interviewee’s body language.
• Group Discussions – Group discussions are carried out with a small group of respondents that are related to the department you are researching on. It helps in saving time as many persons are simultaneously interviewed rather than interviewing everyone one by one. Now-a-days, this can be done through an online survey where the interviewer is not physically required.
• Observations – Observations are carried out to search systematic information. More information can be gathered through observing. A person can make up things in the interview but while observing we can see things clear which can give us better understanding.
2. Quantitative Research – In quantitative research, numeric data is collected or the data that can be converted into statistics is also gathered. It is data that can be measured it includes facts and figures. There are different types of quantitative research methods like descriptive research, experimental research, correlational research, casual - comparative research, etc.
• Correlational Research – As the name suggested relationship is check among two variables. Minimum two variables are used and how change in one variable will affect or influence the other is checked. It is done to study the changes that can occur. This information is used mathematically to draw conclusion out of it.
• Experimental Research – In experimental research, experiments are conducted to prove a hypothesis. Hypothesis is a statement that is based on one’s theory which has not been proved. Therefore, experiments are done in order to validate the hypothesis.
• Casual comparative Research – In casual – comparative method, comparison of two variables is studied and not their relationship with each other. They are individually studied and are tested under same circumstances. Later their results are compared.
3. Mixed methods – It is the combination of qualitative research methods and quantitative research methods. In this type of methodology, both the numeric (statistics or facts and figures) and non-numeric data (interviews, observations, online survey, group discussions, etc.) is collected. Mixed methods are used by those who need to study both the research types qualitative and quantitative.
There are different ways to solve a problem and the way to solve a problem is chosen at the beginning. Similarly, the research methodology should also be decided beforehand. Doing so will help you by providing guidance. So, choose a methodology that suits your criteria.

Wakeup call! The third of 2019’s three rare Jupiter-Neptune squares makes landfall, a day when illusion (and delusion) can run rampant.
Born on a cusp? Please note that dates for the zodiac signs can vary from year to year. To confirm your actual Sun sign, do a free chart here.

Aries (March 21 – April 19)
On Saturday, you could have a “eureka moment” as no-limits Jupiter tangos with numinous Neptune—the final of three uncompromising squares (90-degree angles). While your vision is no doubt inspired, how viable is it? You may have a hard time distinguishing fantasy from clear-eyed reality thanks to this hazy formation. Jupiter is dialing up your zeal to give this a test drive, but it might be better to wait a couple of days to let the (fairy) dust settle. Then you’ll know whether it’s possible or not. That evening, a quarter moon in Gemini can bring some balance to your brainstorming. While there will be no shortage of excitement, you’re ready to run those promising schemes through the reality filter. Enlist a sounding board who isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions. If you can answer those, you’ll know your plan is bulletproof. See the full week >
Taurus (March 21 – April 19)
Did you just say that out loud? On Saturday, a dynamic duet between candid Jupiter and compassionate Neptune underscores the need for diplomacy. Even if people’s true intentions are masked, don’t lose your dignity by confronting them. If you’re feeling suspicious, just keep your cards close to your vest and observe with a poker face. Trust takes time to build! Double-knot those purse strings in the evening as a cautious quarter moon falls in your money sector. A Bull cannot live without luxe indulgences, but without a budget, cash can burn a hole right through your Gucci wallet. If you’re going to indulge, spend on investment pieces. For example, instead of caving to trends, create a savings plan to build a wardrobe of timeless classics. See the full week >
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Have you been taking the quiet helpers in your life for granted, Gemini? In your quest for success, you may have forgotten to thank a few key individuals. With generous Jupiter in your dynamic-duos zone pinging gracious Neptune in your professional sector, make up for lost time. Reach out to the folks who’ve been there for you through thick and thin and let them know how much you appreciate them. How about treating for brunch? Put your best foot forward under the evening’s quarter moon in Gemini—in Fendi, not Forever 21. Remember the power of pacing: If you’re not feeling 100 percent confident about a post or pitch, don’t go live with it. First, consult an expert who can help you radar in on what’s needed to level up to true excellence. See the full week >
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Saturday’s challenge: staying committed to your wellness goals without slipping into the deprivation mindset. Jupiter in your salubrious sixth house encourages discipline, but a nudge from temptress Neptune dangles the pleasure principle. When the snack attack strikes, how about a raw almond and cacao smoothie instead of a hunk of chocolate cake? Skip the buttery French food and opt for sushi. Music is Neptune’s zone, so hit your cardio quota in a hip-hop class or at a late-night DJ set (or both). That evening’s quarter moon falls in your twelfth house of forgiveness. Even if you accept someone’s apology, you’re not obliged to stick around and rebuild the connection. History could repeat itself—particularly if this person is known for doling out lip service. It might be best to protect your heart instead of putting yourself in the line of fire again. But if the infraction was just a minor offense, be generous and give ‘em a chance to make it up to you. See the full week >
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Is there really such a thing as “harmless” flirting? Saturday’s frisky square between limitless Jupiter and temptress Neptune will bring out your bawdy side. Where are you going with this, Leo? Maybe you’re just having a good time, but the other party reads your racy remarks as legitimate interest. Of course, if setting off sparks is your intent, don’t hold back! On the flip side, a romantic interest could be sending an unclear vibe. This is not the best day to push for answers, however, so bide your time and do your best to NOT start planning a fairy tale wedding based on mere potential. Under the evening’s quarter moon in Gemini, you may realize that you need more intel on someone who is advancing toward your inner circle. Group projects could use the same discerning review. If there’s a weak link in the chain, find out if they simply need more training or whether they’re actually unqualified for the role. Be strict! The success of the collective depends on everyone pulling their weight. See the full week >
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Try as you might to lock in a schedule, even the best-laid Saturday plans could go awry under a tense Jupiter-Neptune square. If a day in with comfort food and channel-surfing sounds like your idea of heaven, don’t feel bad about canceling brunch plans. The only problem? The people you bail on could pressure you to come out anyway. You hate to turn your back on friends, but if you’re running on fumes, don’t push it. If you do socialize, insist on a low-key agenda. Cuddling on the couch with bae might be all you care to do this Saturday. Give your goal sheet a review as the evening’s quarter moon brings its discerning vibes to your career zone. Did you set the bar a little TOO high? (A very Virgo thing to do.) It’s not that you shouldn’t tackle those lofty goals; just make sure you’ve also set a reasonable timeline for achieving them. Revamp your timeline and, to keep yourself motivated, make sure you have enough small wins sandwiched between the big benchmarks. See the full week >
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
A lie is a lie, whether it’s a bold-faced mistruth or a tiny embellishment. On Saturday, you could catch someone making false claims. But how to deal productively? With furtive Neptune squaring truth-sergeant Jupiter (for the third and final time this year), observe the double talker for a couple days. Don’t breach privacy (not even if they forgot to log out of Gmail) but see if any other evidence emerges. If a friend is fibbing to be “polite,” have a heart-to-heart. Maybe she’s afraid you’ll be upset if she says no. Is there any truth to that, Libra? This might be your cue to accept declinations with grace going forward. (Read: No more pouting!) The evening’s quarter moon in Gemini reboots your wanderlust. Any change of scenery will do, the sooner the better. Plan a day trip for Sunday and turn it into a treasure hunt. Go “sourcing” for an accent table at a small-town flea market or try the slices at three different pizza shops, recording your findings in your Stories. See the full week >
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Good luck getting weekend errands in gear. Saturday’s fuzzy square between free-spirited Jupiter and numinous Neptune (the third of three in 2019) could drive you to distraction. Use the reward system to keep yourself motivated. No Instagram until you’ve paid the bills; dancing with friends AFTER you’ve sent off the PDF to your boss. Single? Don’t get lost in a friend huddle while you’re out. With Neptune beaming in from your romance house, you’re Cupid’s favorite target. Coupled Scorpios, splurge on a decadent date, like a Saturday night concert and a night at a fancy hotel. With the evening’s quarter moon hovering in your intimate eighth house, you could find yourself pondering the future of a relationship. Interest may be drifting, or maybe the vibe just feels off. Instead of wondering (and wandering), have a heart-to-heart. Since this could be a longer discussion, pick a time when neither of you is feeling rushed—and don’t even THINK about starting this conversation over text! See the full week >
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
You may be the zodiac’s traveler, Sagittarius, but you’re not looking to earn a passport stamp from somebody’s guilt trip. Thank your ruler, indie-spirited Jupiter, who is on a freedom tour through your sign until December 2. But on Saturday, sacrificial Neptune throws Jupiter its third (and final) curveball of 2019 as the two planets lock into a complex square. Backlash comes from your inner circle, and if you’re honest, have you been shortchanging them of attention…just a little? While you don’t want to fall prey to manipulation, giving them some quality attention can restore the balance. The evening’s quarter moon could put one relationship under the microscope. Is your bedroom buddy longing for more than just a booty call—or are YOU harboring more than just lusty feelings for the person you slotted into the hookup category? Talk it through, Sagittarius. A new agreement may emerge. Coupled Archers may feel a little bored in the boudoir. Don’t blame your partner. Take the initiative to spice things up, maybe by doing the deed in a naughty new location. See the full week >
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Energy vampire alert! Under Saturday’s codependent clash between Jupiter and Neptune, a needy person could take advantage of your kindness. One minute you’re dropping by to offer a hug, the next you’re being swept into the role of volunteer therapist. Stop midstream! You can’t do people’s inner work for them. On that note, could YOU use a little extra support? What goes around comes around, so call in a favor for someone who owes you a solid. Prevention is the best medicine that evening as a quarter moon shines its balancing beams into your wellness corner. As weather cools, you obviously want to stave off the seasonal sniffles and the dreaded flu. Start loading up on vitamin C with extra servings of bell peppers, kiwifruit, broccoli and kale (which, incidentally, pack more of a punch than oranges). Instead of soldiering through that knot in your neck, book a massage—and for best results, make it a monthly or weekly ritual. See the full week >
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Separate checks, s’il vous plait. Under a befuddling mashup of Jupiter and Neptune, money could get funny this Saturday. If you’re a vegan, you don’t need to put in cash for your friend’s bacon cheeseburger—and she doesn’t need to cover that bottle of Malbec you ordered for the table while she’s doing a sober September. Clean lines are the best lines. When it comes to fall fashion, don’t tax your budget on trends. Remember, Aquarius: Originality is your calling card. The evening’s quarter moon lands in Gemini and your feisty fifth house, making it impossible to NOT call out the neon pink elephant in the room. But don’t underestimate the impact of your critiques. Once the words are out, there will be nothing you can do to take them back. Make sure you stock your arsenal with solid facts and figures. Dig up the necessary stats, case studies and academic articles and make sure they’re derived from credible research. See the full week >
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
You’ve got what it takes to be a stellar leader, Pisces. But do YOU believe that? On Saturday, your co-rulers Jupiter and Neptune meet in a befuddling square—the final of three that punctuated 2019. Don’t let your insecurities prevent you from going after a game-changing opportunity. And don’t forget: Behind every captain is a phenomenal cabinet of advisers! Assembling support can buoy your confidence. There’s no fighting your feelings later in the evening as a quarter moon in Gemini beams into your emo fourth house. If you surrender to this introspective groove, you could have a life-altering insight. And no, you’re not just being “oversensitive,” so don’t let anyone pin that label on you. There’s a message behind your moodiness. What’s bugging you, and why might that be? Sure, there are the obvious external circumstances, but the real cause for your upset may be that you compromised beyond a point that felt comfortable to you. See the full week >

Our Promise:
To provide distinctive vacation rental homes at excellent values while offering the most professional, knowledgeable and personalized service available
At Home in France is a specialty agency assisting travelers to France in renting vacation homes in the French countryside and apartments in Paris. Our distinctive portfolio features over 250 privately-owned apartments, cottages, farmhouses, manorhouses and villas located in France’s most popular regions – Provence, Dordogne, Languedoc, Côte d’Azur, Burgundy, the French Alps and the Atlantic Coast. As our name suggests, France is our specialty. Every year, we travel to France to inspect properties. Our standards are rigorous, ensuring that properties meet the requirements and expectations of our clients. Whether modest or deluxe, traditional or contemporary, all of our homes have to pass one critical test: “Would we be happy to stay there ourselves? “When going to France, work with experts.
Operating since 1995, Allyn Kaufmann and Bruce Dicoskey lovingly built the company which was based in Oregon. In September 2011, they handed over the reins to Antoine and Vero, the current owners of At Home In France.
Allow us to introduce Antoine and Vero. When you choose At Home in France, you’ll work with them and take full advantage of their expertise. Antoine is a marketing professional and Vero is an architect and graphic designer. They are natives of France, where they lived for 40 years both in Paris and on the Côte d’Azur. They have traveled widely and are intimately familiar with its diverse regions. They now live in Miami, Florida, where At Home in France’s office is now located. Completing the team is Margaux. She is Franco-American, bilingual and well understands both countries and cultures. They are committed to providing the expert and personalized service for which AHIF is recognized. At Home In France’s Miami staff is ready to assist you with your travel plans and the selection of your next vacation home in France.
When you contact us, you’ll learn much more than photos can convey. Based on our first-hand knowledge of the properties, we’ll tell you candidly what we think of the home(s) you’ve selected – the layout, the decor, the amenities, the setting.
And once we know more about your style and preferences, we can suggest other properties you may not have considered. We want you to have the perfect surroundings to discover the pleasures of life in the French countryside and in France’s capital city. In short, we want you to feel “At Home in France.”
Enjoy expert advice and personalized service. Antoine and Margaux listen carefully to your desires and needs and then recommend those homes that will meet your expectations.

We’re happy to help you design your itinerary and reserve a rental car. For other aspects of your trip, such as air and ground transportation, chef services, etc., we can make suggestions or refer you to professional colleagues whose services we are proud to recommend. While you’re in France, we have colleagues available to assist you.
Consult our references throughout the years, our company has earned a reputation for honesty and integrity. But it is only natural for prospective clients to be hesitant about dealing with a company found through an internet listing. We’re glad to provide client references whom you may feel free to contact. In addition, we are member in good standing of the French American Chamber of Commerce Florida.

I won't comment on a class unless I have vast knoledge of it both theorycraft and actual playing, I won't comment on a profession unless I have it to 375.
My ExperienceEdit
I quit for a very long time due to what I felt was a drastic loss in player skill after BC release. I recently (Jan 2008) came back with a group of friends, relevelled and have jumped straight back into raiding.

Keyshia Cole is beginning to build a strong case that she is certifiable. Not long after the former relevant songstress beat up an alleged girlfriend of Baby Williams inside his apartment, she has allegedly egged former fling Bow Wow’s car with cake on a drive-by tip.
It didn’t take long for observers to pinpoint Keyshia Cole as the culprit.

From Montana to Vernon, Dale and Nancy Grochowich’s 1926 Model T Roadster has seen lots of roads. Yet current car buffs always ponder – what classic autos in the future will be most sought after and desired / desirable ?
The Grochowiches are the third owners of the car which got its start in the U.S. Pacific Northwest.
“The original owners had the car for 39 years, then their son drove it from Montana to Seattle where he had a teaching job,” said Dale. “The car broke down in Seattle and a mechanic bought it and kept it for 17 years. We bought it in 1982.”
The event will run June 16, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Village Green Centre’s north end parking lot (near Sport Chek).
Registration for the event will start at 9 a.m.
Admission is by donation.
There will be awards, 50/50 draw, door prizes and food and music throughout the show.
You can be sure of one thing – all of these prized autos are one offs – no two look or drive alike .
The Grochowich 1926 Model T Roadster plus one other club vehicle will be on display from Wednesday to Saturday inside the Village Green Centre to help promote the event.
The Grochowiches had the car fully restored in 1984 and will have it on display along with others from their club, the North Okanagan chapter of the Vintage Car Club of Canada, during the club’s 19th annual Father’s Day Car Show. Its not too far a drive from Vancouver British Columbia

Quinnipiac poll: President Barack Obama pulls ahead of Mitt Romney
President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney face off on Wednesday in the first of three presidential debates. Watch live video of the debate here.
TALLAHASSEE -- In a preview of a likely November tossup election, President Barack Obama has pulled ahead of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in the latest Quinnipiac poll by 46 percent to 42 percent.
Last month, Romney was ahead of Obama 47 percent to 41 percent. In a March poll, Obama led 49 percent to 42 percent.
"The president is doing better among independent voters," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "It also is worth noting that the last Quinnipiac University Florida poll was on the heels of the president's backing of gay marriage, which might have hurt him at that time. "
According to the poll, independent voters shifted from 44 percent percent for Romney and 36 percent for Obama in March to 46 percent for Obama and 37 percent for Romney today.
From June 12 – 18, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,697 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 2.4 percentage points.
The poll also surveyed voters on the U.S. Senate race, which narrowed yesterday when former U.S. Sen. George LeMieux decided to drop out.
Among Republican voters, 41 percent back U.S. Rep. Connie Mack, R-Fort Myers, with 8 percent saying they preferred LeMieux and 5 percent voting for Tea Party favorite Mike McCalister. Former U.S. Rep. Dave Weldon got 3 percent. Another 39 percent of Republicans are undecided.
U.S. Sen Bill Nelson, D-Fla., would still edge Mack though in a head-to-head match up. According to the poll, 43 percent favored Nelson and 39 percent liked Mack.
"At this point, the Republican Senate nomination is Congressman Connie Mack's to lose," said."

It is now six months since we left home on 5 June, and in those six months we’ve circumnavigated the Gulf of Bothnia and Baltic Sea, experienced six days of continuous daylight, left the EU seven times more often than Theresa May can dream of, been to the bottom of a salt mine, driven to 2400 metres, visited seven different VW service centres in four countries, Ben learnt to ride a bike 1 day before his 3 1/2 birthday, I rode down a mountain on a Brompton towing two toddlers in a trailer, we spent an afternoon in a Polish police station, we spent 134 nights off grid, and went 172 days without electric hookup, my cousin adopted Meg’s puppy Jess who traveled with us for 2 1/2 months, been to 21 different countries and one British overseas territory, paid 60 Euros to sleep in a scabby log cabin with no bed linen and no running water, visited the four compass points of the EU mainland, visited two vets and no doctors, been nearly divorced on at least 156 occasions and I grew a beard.
We were able to set off in good time from Rome, and were crossing Italy one more. The nice thing about zigzagging across Italy is that it really gives me a good sense of the geography of the country. With a central spine of mountains, the eastern or north eastern coastal area is a wide expanse of flat plain, while the western or southwestern coastal area is hilly. As we crossed the spinal mountains I kept seeing signs reminding me that chains or winter tyres are a mandatory requirement on that road between 15 November and 15 April. As we climbed higher I was ashamed at my irresponsibility of not having either. In one of the larger towns I found a VW service centre, but predictably it was closed for lunch – until 3.30pm. Eventually we found an open one near our journey’s end, they didn’t have chains, but we’ve ordered some costing €85, they should arrive tomorrow. I wonder when they will first see use, or will they just sit in the van?
Here at our campsite on the coast almost due south of Manfredonia we have hit the jackpot. We are camped just a few yards from a bueatiful sandy beach, on a campsite with a good sanitary block, costing just 13 Euros a night for the five of us – no extra for the boys. Amazing.
After dinner and just before bed I took the boys and Meg for a moonlit walk on the beach – it was a full moon or nearly full moon, bigger and brighter than I’ve ever seen it before. The boys were delighted to see their moon shadows on the sand.

We seem to be good at making little consumers in our churches. Kids who are used to being served rather than serving, receiving rather than giving.
This is by no means the only reason, but when I reflect on the way we train leaders we often emphasis the responsibilities that come with being a leader. We know from scripture how important it is that we teach them faithfully, we engage them with truth, we share Christ with them, we model a godly life, we pray for them, we love them… we… we… we… It’s very easy to think children’s ministry is what we do for the children (although, of course it’s never ‘we’ – it’s always God working through us).
But, what about the kids—the kids who’ve come to faith—where do they fit into the picture? How do we move them from passive consumers to active contributors?
Learning From Scripture
Learning From Scripture
A few years ago our church spent a term working through 1 Corinthians chapters 12
–16. Morover, as has been our custom for the past 25 years, our school-age children also journeyed these chapters alongside their parents.
But as I wrote the program for my leaders to use to teach our children, I was struck by the verse… Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good (1 Corinthians 12:7). Or, as the International Children’s Bible so simply puts it: Something from the Spirit can be seen in each person, to help everyone.
Three things jumped out at me…
- everyone (who has the Spirit) has been given something;
- what they’ve been given is plain to see; and
- what they’ve been given is to benefit others.
It struck me that I’d certainly applied this teaching to my leadership teams. In fact I look to see the gifts God has given my leaders and love to see when they land in a ministry role that fits their gifting. I call it putting round pegs into round holes (unlike what I’d been guilty of in the past… trying to push square pegs into round holes because of my need to fill my rosters).
But as much as I’d applied this to my Junior Leaders (teenagers) and Leaders (adults), I’d never seriously applied it to the children in our church – children who’d clearly come to faith and were growing in their faith. In fact I was not sure what it would look like if I did.
And so began a journey, a journey we’re still on… seeking to move children from being passive consumers in our church, to being active members, using their gifts to benefit others.
The journey for each child begins with looking for evidence of faith in a child. Then follows the identification of each child’s gifts, equipping him/her to use the gifts and creating meaningful ways for the regular use of those gifts for the benefit of others.
Let me tell you a short story as a way of seeing how this can be applied in children’s ministry.
Eleni’s Story
Eleni’s Story
A few years ago I was observing leaders in our Preschool Room. I noticed that every time the door opened and another child entered the room, Eleni was the only child who’d stop playing and looked up. Not only that, she’d run to the child, throw her arms around them and invited them to come and play.
Eighteen children were welcomed that morning by Eleni. Only one was not.
I called Eleni over and said, “Eleni, I think God has given you a gift.”
“Really!” she said, her eyes widened.
“But it’s not a present (Eleni looked a little disappointed at this). God has made you good at something… he has made you good at welcoming.” (Gift identified)
Again she said, “Really… what’s that?”
“I think God has made you good at welcoming others.”
And again she said, “Really, what’s welcoming.”
(You can tell I’m not the most natural under-fives Children’s Minister.)
“Well, every time the door opens and another child comes in, you stop playing, race over, smile and ask them to come and play. You make every child feel special when they come into Children’s Church. You welcome them in.”
Eleni responded that she thought everyone did that, but agreed with me when I pointed out that no else had stopped playing that day to welcome a child. I continued…
“But I noticed there was one boy you didn’t say hello to.”
Eleni leaned very close and whispered, “That’s because I don’t know him.”
I picked up an MBM Kids Welcome sticker that was sitting on the bench (our leaders hand these to new children on their first day). I asked Eleni if, when a new child came to the door, she could pick a sticker off the bench, hand it to the new child while the Team Leader and the parent talked, smile and say, “Hi, my name is Eleni. Would you like a sticker? Would you like to come and play?”
Eleni thought that was a great idea! (Self-identification of the gift)
We then spent the next five minutes role-playing… Eleni pretending to be the new child at the door – me welcoming her in… then me pretending to be the new child at the door – Eleni welcoming me in. (Equipping)
When Eleni’s Dad came to pick her up that day I shared with him what I’d seen in his daughter and he confirmed he’d seen it too. (Gift identification confirmed)
The next week, as Eleni’s Dad dropped her off, I heard him say, “And don’t forget what we’ve been praying about!”
I asked him what he’d been praying about with Eleni.
“That she’d use the gift God has given her and make everyone feel special who comes to Children’s Church today.” (Gift encouraged and valued)
A few weeks later Eleni was standing with her Dad at the front door of our church. She called me over and whispered, “I’m welcoming the adults now.”
Reflecting This In Ministry
Reflecting This In Ministry
Let’s not forget to look for evidence of faith in a child, identify their gifts, equip them to use their gifts and create meaningful ways for them to exercise their gifts so that others can benefit.
Sometimes in kid’s ministry the best thing we can do is get out of the way and let kids impact kids to the glory of God.
Eleni is still using her gifts to make children feel special when they come to our church.
What might this look like in your ministry and your church’s ministry to children?

Most people think there’s no different between a record player and a turntable but that’s not necessarily true. The terms may be used interchangeably but there are some differences between the devices.
What is a Turntable?
A turntable plays records via a platter, a mounted tonearm, and phono cartridge. As the platter rotates, the tonearm and phono cartridge touch the grooves on the records. The motion carries an electronic signal to the pre-amplifier, producing sound.
A turntable plays records at a standard, steady speed. It is devoid of added features such as speakers or amplifiers. While newer, more hi-tech turntables are available, they are quite expensive. Turntables aren’t exactly travel-friendly but they are quite compact. Turntables are also customizable so you can upgrade the moving parts.

What is a Record Player?
A record player is the more elaborate version of the turntable. It is a self-contained portable system that’s comprised of a turntable, an amplifier, and speaker/s. The device can play a record on its own and is quite user-friendly because it is a plug and play device.
Since a record player comes with built-in amps and speakers, there is no need to buy these components separately. That makes this device portable too. However, this device leaves less room for upgrades. Also, the added features mean a record player is more expensive than a traditional turntable.
Turntable or Record Player: Which One is Right For You?
Choosing between a turntable and a record player is a matter of personal preference. If say, you have inherited or collected a lot of old vinyls and you are not too keen on audio precision, a record player should be a great choice for your needs. On the other hand, if you want to transition to higher quality audio and you’re looking for a device that grows with you, choose a turntable.
Whichever system you choose, always consider the size, speed, and the features of the product. All these factors will affect your listening experience. It also helps if you shop around online or offline just so you know what products are best suited to your needs and budget.

By Randi Kaye | CNN
(CNN) -- Jacqueline Kennedy was still wearing the blood-stained watermelon pink suit when she got to the White House in the early-morning hours after her husband was shot dead.
She had refused to take it off at Parkland Hospital in Dallas or on the flight back to Washington with the body of her husband.
Once at the White House, her personal maid put the suit in a bag so Mrs. Kennedy wouldn't have to look at it.
In the words of President John F. Kennedy, she looked "smashing" in the suit, which may be why the President asked Jackie to wear the now-famous outfit to Dallas on November 22, 1963.
The suit looked like a Coco Chanel, it was actually a knockoff, made in the United States. The first lady wore it at least six times before that fateful day.
She was known for her fashion sense. Museums have hosted collections of her gowns, hats and jewelry.
In Fort Worth on the morning of November 22, the President even joked about his wife's style.
"Two years ago, I introduced myself in Paris by saying that I was the man who had accompanied Mrs. Kennedy to Paris. I am getting somewhat that same sensation as I travel around Texas. Nobody wonders what Lyndon (Johnson) and I wear," Kennedy quipped.
Hours later, Jackie Kennedy was trying to crawl out of the presidential limo, her suit spattered with her husband's blood.
When aides suggested she change her clothes, she refused.
"Her remark, I think she made it more than once is, 'No, I'm going to leave these clothes on. I want them to see what they have done,' " author Philip Shenon said.
Hours later, Kennedy continued to wear the suit during the emergency swearing in of Johnson as President.
"That whole scene is obviously just surreal," Shenon said. "She arrives in the cabin in Air Force One in these clothes, covered with the President's blood, and she's expected to stand there and witness the swearing in of her husband's successor."
The suit today is in the National Archives building in Maryland.
It came in a box, along with a handwritten note from Jackie Kennedy's mother on her personal stationery. It read simply: "Jackie's suit and bag - worn November 22nd, 1963."
The suit was never cleaned.
The public hasn't seen the suit since the assassination and won't for another 90 years.
In 2003, nine years after her mother's death, Caroline Kennedy gave the suit as a gift to the people of the United States with the understanding that it would not be put on display until 2103.
And even then, the Kennedy family will have to be consulted before any attempt is made to display it. They want to avoid sensationalizing the horrible act.
Also hidden from view in the new archives building in Maryland: the blue blouse Jackie Kennedy wore beneath the pink suit, her stockings, blue shoes and blue purse.
What they don't have is the first lady's iconic pink pillbox hat.
"The hat is a mystery," said Shenon, who wrote "A Cruel and Shocking Act."
"The hat apparently goes to the Secret Service initially and the Secret Service turns it over to Mrs. Kennedy's private secretary, and then it disappears. It has not been seen since."
The archive has the suit stored in a windowless vault, in an acid free container, where the air is changed three times an hour to properly maintain the wool and cloth.
It is kept at a temperature of 65 to 68 degrees, which is best for the fabric.

DOWNLOAD Theory and empirical evidence on SRI and investment performance
Guidance is required for investors and trustees as to the potential impact of socially responsible investing on expected returns and risk. This paper examines the theoretical and empirical evidence with respect to this impact.
The evidence suggests that very well governed companies with strong employee relations and strong environmental performance may earn positive abnormal returns. However, for poorly governed companies socially responsible investing may involve agency costs that result in underperformance. Further, investing in firms whose core business is in industries that are widely seen as “sin” industries may earn positive abnormal returns, and avoiding these firms may impose a financial cost on investors. Nevertheless, for investors with a diversified portfolio, the overall financial effect of socially responsible investing may be marginal.
In those cases where socially responsible investing may be expected to result in financial harm to fund members, trustees may be in breach of their fiduciary duties. One possible reform that may be considered is to allow trustees to consider non-financial criteria without breaching their fiduciary duties, provided that other prudential requirements are met.

1. Ka-Bar USMC Fighting Knife

2. SOG Seal Pup Elite
Rating:

3. Cold Steel Recon Scout
Rating:
Walk into any firehouse, especially where I stay, you will find at least one firefighter having a Cold steel recon scout knife in his pocket. This kind of a knife has been around for so long but for a good reason, they are productive.
Cold steel recon scout knives features long-lasting kray-ex handle and a seven half inch long high carbon steel blade which has been heat-treated and tempered to resemble the strength and sharp end retention of Japanese swords. The knife is not that expensive.
4. Gerber Ghostrike Fixed Blade Deluxe Knives
Among the featured knives in this list, this knife is the most suitable for personal defense use. Even though any knife in the list can down the attacker; the Gerber ghostrike fixed blade deluxe knife is majorly designed for concealed carry. It is designed with a low profile modular sheath system that allows anyone to discretely carry it on the belt, the ankle or anywhere else we feel can conceal it.
Gerber ghostrike fixed blade deluxe’s fine edge is measured in three inches plus, created from 420HC steel. It comes with a rubber over mold handle designed with a diamond texture which gives a safe grip whenever it is used. But it is important that we check our state laws before we walk with any knife around.
5. CRKT Ultima Knife
Rating:
We have many reasons why CRKT ultima knife had to feature in this list. Number one is, CRKT ultima knife is full-tangle blade. This is a MUST have knife in the house since we need to use it daily and for survival applications too. Number two; its full-tang blade at the butt can be used to combine heavy duty pry bar. The final reason is the CRKT ultima knife’s glass filled nylon handle is too tough; having secured grip that is safe in mud, wet and cold conditions. It has unique segmented triangles.
6. Gerber LMF II Survival Knife
Gerber LMF II Survival Knife
Rating:
This is another knife that is highly versatile and designed to do different series of functions in outside. It has topnotch stainless steel that does best when it comes to cutting and slicing. Gerber LMF II survival knife’s incomparable extra features also make it stand out from the crowd.
Its Sharpe butt cap can be used to pierce glass in the rescue missions and used for hammering duties all together. Sharpe butt total separation from the knife’s tang elevates shock absorption and protects against electric shock. Gerber LMF II survival knife’s integrated lashing holes allow one to use it as a spear for hunting food and defense.
The manufacturer worked hard to design LMF II to be the recommendable survival knife for any kind of situation. They don’t want anyone to get stuck in the middle of situation with a dull knife during prolonged use. For that matter, carbide blade sharpener was designed into its sheath.
7. Zero Tolerance Hinder Fieldtac Knife
Eve though Zero tolerance hinder fieldtac knife is smaller than the rest of the fixe-blade counterparts, it is apparent that it can juggle heavy duties including cutting tasks with much ease. This knife is designed with tungsten diamond plus coated blade crafted from crack, chip resistant Vanadis 4Extra powder metallurgical cold work steel. The whole tang is further designed to strengthen the knife, as a lightweight G10 scaled handle and contoured teeth offers protective grip when performing a task.
8. Benchmade 162 Bushcrafted Fixed Blade Knife
Benchmade is said to be the best producers of the best folding knives and fixed blade knives in the market. Some of its latest make is 162 Bushcrafter, a long-lasting survival knife which is a complete proof that the manufacturer is an expert in producing outdoors environment surviving equipment.
A fine S30V stainless steel drop point blade is best for any task especially cutting. Its contoured G10 handle provides superb grip we can miss on a survival knife. Benchmade 162 bushcrafted fixed blade knife’s leather sheath designed with a D-ring pus retention strap including integrated flint rod twist makes it suitable for general outdoor duties.
9. ESEE 6P-B Fixed Blade Knife
ESEE 6P-B Fixed Blade Knife
Rating:
The distinctive feature that makes ESEE 6p-B Fixed Blade Knife outweigh the rest is its 1095 high-carbon steel blade. This is a knife we can use repeatedly without getting burnt. It has a steady strength and strange ability to stay for long retaining the sharpness. Its tough nails blade design and drop point depict its cool edge versatility making it one of the top best outdoor knives in this list. The ESEE 6p-B Fixed Blade Knife flexible handle and integrated lanyard hole put around it makes it look gorgeous. This knife might be expensive but we can’t afford to have it in our homes.

Irked at improper maintenance of the DTC buses, the green panel also issued notice to the Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland, which supply buses, and directed their senior-most official to be present on next date of hearing.
"Unfortunately, we also live in Delhi. Your huge buses ply empty for at least five hours a day. Have you rationalised on this aspect? It is shocking that nobody listens in DTC. Your buses are more than overcrowded.
"We are thinking about afternoon when most of your AC buses, which have a capacity of 60, are empty. After 9:30 PM most of your buses which go to airport have only one or two passengers. You are wasting government revenue, creating traffic chaos and causing environmental pollution," a bench headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Swatanter Kumar said.
The Tribunal's observation came after DTC MD, who was present in pursuance to the green panel's notice, told the bench that rationalisation and assessment of bus routes was an ongoing process.
Favouring small size buses during lean traffic period, the Tribunal said, "you should change your buses when traffic is lean and ply buses which are smaller in size. We are not asking you to stop the bus service rather you should change the size of bus.
"Do you know the cost of running these buses? How many buses have you tested for noise? What do you test the buses for? Have you ever seen a single bus which does not make horrible noise. Their noise is annoying. if anyone is behind that bus he will get mad within no time."
With regard to maintenance of buses, the green bench said, "See it yourself whether you are satisfied with maintenance. If maintenance is okay there can be no hanging bumpers and rubber strips in your buses. Ensure physical inspection through your senior officers. If your message does not reach the driver and conductor then there is no point in the inspection."
"You should change your buses when traffic is lean and ply buses which are smaller in size. We are not asking you to stop the bus service rather you should change the size of bus. Rationalisation should be on this aspect," the bench said.
The Tribunal directed DTC to carry out a study to bring base line data, rationalisation of bus routes and details about maintenance of DTC buses "which is not farce".
"We don't want great thesis. Give us a specific reply," it said.
The bench also asked DTC officials to apply minds into the design of buses.
"Why can't you think about what designs can protect against accidents? In a DTC bus, the driver should be a the lowest level so that if he bangs anywhere, he is the target first and not the passengers," the Tribunal said.
Earlier, the tribunal had noted that air conditioned buses are being run by DTC for a major part of the day but the number of passengers in these is less.
The bench expects these services to change buses when traffic is lean and ply buses which are smaller in size. They dont want to stop the bus service rather to change the size of bus.
"DTC should run buses of different capacity and size at different timings and on different routes. All such buses would be driven on CNG fuel only," the green bench had said earlier.
"DTC shall ensure that the buses run by it do not cause congestion. This mode of transport should be of greater utility to the public and distinct incentives should be provided to the general public to encourage use of public transport," it had said.
The tribunal had said that DTC shall ensure that every bus belonging to it was subjected to mechanical check up through computerised system once every month and would be subjected to check for pollution under control (PUC) certificate at least twice a month.
"DTC shall formulate a proper group of staff to carry out above directions/functions and submit a compliance report to the Depot Manager who in turn will inform the highest authority of DTC.
"The regular computerised check will not absolve DTC from being subjected to random checks by the authorities concerned for the purposes of issuance of PUC. It shall be ensured that these buses do not exceed the prescribed emissions standard," the tribunal had said.

. Usually Jesus was a matchless teacher; but in this Gospel He appears even more distinctly as the mighty Worker. A very interesting thing seen in Mark that is not in other Gospels is that Jesus asks those who he came in contact with Him not to tell anyone of what they have witnessed (Elwell 94).
As verse 35 of chapter 4 begins, it was near dark and Jesus wants to cross the body of water and said to His disciples, "Let us go over to the other side."
(Mk 4:35) Jesus was exhausted from teaching all day and the stress of people trying to see Him. He had been using the boat as a pulpit to speak from so the disembarking from the location was speedy (Erdman 77). Just as Jesus had fallen asleep, a great tempest or squall swept down onto the water and boat. The boat, that was most likely a smaller boat but big enough for about 14 to 15 passengers, was tossed in the wind and beaten with waves. The waves actually came into the boat, "so that it was nearly swamped (Mk 4:27)." The disciples were not inexperienced sailors, yet the storm was so powerful that they began to fear for...

PENDER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – At the Topsail High School football game Friday night, Sgt. TJ Butler's alma mater remembered his life and honored the community's military men and women.
Butler was killed in Afghanistan last week. Family, friends and strangers attended Butler's funeral on Friday morning.
The tribute to him continued during a special ceremony during halftime of Friday's game. The school's athletic director presented a football to Butler's wife, Holly. They also gave her donations of food and money collected from members of the community at the game.
She gave a small wave as the crowd cheered for her and thanked the athletic director.
Members of the athletic department wanted to give her a football that she can pass it down to her son once he's old enough to play. Butler's son is 6 months old son.
Those who know the family said Holly showed strength in attending the game. They told us that she felt she just had to be there.
There were a lot of tears tonight among the cheers for Topsail High School. Many members of the faculty and staff remember TJ from when he was a student at the school.
To show the school's appreciation for our soldiers, all active and retired members of the military were admitted into the game for free and received free popcorn from the concession stand.
Also, their names were read during halftime of the game and they received a standing ovation.

Greece Faces Fresh Threats6/21/2013 9:38AM

Our AZIAM Girlz & AZIAM Kidz Yoga Camps are a fun way to teach children the Eight Limbs of Yoga in a simplified, easy to understand (and fun!) format. The physical Yoga postures are taught, blended with Hip Hop dance. The participants also learn the practice and purpose of meditation, as well as participating in wellness, nutrition and health discussions.
With her dynamic teaching style, Alanna captivates the fleeting attention of children. She uses the basics of yoga to teach conscious decision-making and positive self-awareness.
The co-ed camps are powerful in the same vein as the all girl camps, although different with the obvious mixture of boys and girls. In all the workshops, kids will learn about the inseparable mind-body connection and how this connection affects health and overall well-being. The kids will be encouraged to talk about their feelings, learn non-judgment and manage their states of being.
Space is limited to 20 kids per camp.
Happy Birthday Sophia!
Benefits of Yoga for Kids!
Here are five health benefits of yoga for kids:
1. Improved Balance
Little yogis struggle very much with balance poses, like Tree Pose. This is in part, because they are learning the skill of proprioception, which means they are learning to know where their body is in space.
Improving balance is going to help with activities like walking, running, and learning to ride a bike.
2. Improved Core Strength
A flowing sequence like a Sun Salutation (which in my schooling on Kids yoga, we call Sergeant Salutations, making it a call and response game) helps kids to increase core muscle strength.
Holding Plank Pose without a belly dip is hard for all of us, especially the younger yogis. Little yogis with stronger cores are going to develop better posture as they grow and be more balanced in activities.
3. Growth of the Brain
Anytime we try to learn and do something new, whether that be yoga or ballet, our brain makes new neuronal connections. That goes for adults too.
Think about all the new things a child learns in yoga class; poses, listening skills, new yoga terms (possibly in Sanskrit), mediation, or breathing exercises. That’s a lot of new connections.
4. Calm and Center Themselves
We all get upset. We all fly off the handle sometimes. Yoga can teach little yogis how to deal with these tense moments off the mat by teaching them what a kids yoga mediation is all about, or how to breathe deeply.
After we do a pranayama breathing activity or a meditation, I always ask my students how and when they can incorporate this at home. Those reasons are usually spot on or very funny because of how interesting they are.
5. Yoga Improves Happiness
Yes, your kids will be happy when they are in yoga class. What I am suggesting is that yoga improves happiness overall. Or more correctly, it has been proven to decrease depressive tendencies.
The scientific details are involved, but overall, yoga produces more GABA, a molecule in the brain that blocks the activity of other molecules known to be involved in depression. Resiliency in the face of life’s curve balls may be a result of living in a happier state.

Wedding Season is Coming
Maybe it’s a new low for this blog, or maybe it’s a new high for Buzzfeed, but here I am linking to a Buzzfeed video because omg it’s so true. WHY IS EVERYONE GETTING MARRIED?!
HT to my sister-in-law. [/irony]
Thank You, Avigail
Good4 just handed me an article from the January 28, 2015 Ami magazine. It’s written by Avigail Rabin and the pull quote, in a bright aquamarine, is “I get the impression that I’m supposed to walk around in a wooden barrel, indoors, devoid of jewelry, until I am married.”
Naturally, I was intrigued. It took me about 45 seconds to devour the entire forum article, which was brilliant. While all rights belong to Ami, here are the first two paragraphs:
I don’t consider myself “a single.” I am very much the same person I was in fourth grade, in twelfth grade, at the age of 21, and last year. Me. Me who has not yet met Mr. Right, who is presumably out there somewhere, wondering where in the world I am and when I’ll be showing up. Why am I sharing this with absolute strangers? Because I’ve read so many perspectives on me and my supposed life and feelings on these pages and others by parents, shadchanim, mental health professionals, and even other singles, and not one of them has expressed my viewpoint. So here it is.
Last week I went shopping and came home with a beautiful Shabbos outfit. I teach a full day, tutor after school, and while I try to save responsibly for the future, I do occasionally shop. My mother said, “Wow, that looks amazing on you! Why don’t you put it aside for your sheva brochos?” Never mind that my last date was (a) uninspiring and (b) seven weeks ago. The same week I told a coworker I had just booked a flight to Eretz Yisroel for midwinter vacation. She replied, “Don’t go now; put it off and the first bein hazmanim that you’re married!” Then last summer, when I bought myself some really nice earrings in Florida with one of my als0-waiting friends, my grandmother, shaking her head in disappointment, wondered, “What’s the chasan going to buy you?”
Avigail, I officially love you. If you can write like this twice a week, and are so inclined, you can have my URL.
This Guy Really Wants a Date
Dubbed “NYC’s Most Desperate Single Man” by the New York Post, and his name is Yossi.
HT to OA.
Oh, Like That Type?
Questioner: “So, what would be a great gift for your parents?”
Answerer: “A daughter-in-law and two sons-in-law.”
Questioner: “I mean for hosting me for Shabbos.”
Answerer: “Oh. Um. Not sure.”

NASI, our local favorite do-gooding organization for singles, has come up with yet another dollar-driven plan to marry us all off.
For those not in the know, NASI is the North American Shidduch Initiative. They believe strongly that the Shidduch Crisis is an issue with numbers, but they also believe that it can fixed with numbers – number framed in green and in close proximity to a president, preferably.
NASI is regarded by this blog as a well-meaning but misguided fellow – the sort you’d pat affectionately on the head while explaining why yet another one of his crazy schemes won’t work. After all, they (whoever they are) do try hard. And they do seem to believe that their ideas are absolutely amazing. One imagines their little think tank arguing things out in an ivory tower before enthusiastically bursting forth to purchase full-page ads, without ever running them past a real, live person.
At lunch one day, Finance Manager was holding forth on the sorry state of the single scene in her life. She explained that all she wanted was a guy with a job and all his teeth and not a total jerk, but she couldn’t find one and that’s why she was still single. “Me too,” I agreed. She cast a cold glance at me, as if to say, “Did you hear mewling from the nursery?” Embarrassed, I realized two things:
(1) I was 25, which was probably a good 7 years younger than her, and too young to get married by her standards and
(2) I look about 20 and have the job generally held by an entry-level 21-year-old, which made my comment even weirder.
I’m used to being practically middle-aged, but her approbation jerked my life back into perspective. Hello! Bad4! You’re not that old yet!
Then, last week I see this little announcement by NASI. It’s yet another scheme – this time a GAMECHANGER! They’re going to marry off all those over-the-hill grannies (well, not grannies obviously – great-aunties?) with their latest and greatest Shidduch-Crisis-Solving Scheme.
Who are those old maids? Well, their scheme starts with the 22-year-olds…
Ouch.
Hey Finance Manager, don’t look at me like that. I am way old and single. NASI even said so.

!&-- Segment Pixel - MEDI - Roanoke - DO NOT MODIFY --&><!&-- End of Segment Pixel --&>
The Commonwealth has added 12 historic sites to the Virginia Landmarks Register. Locally, the new listings cover sites in Roanoke city and the counties of Franklin, Bath, Highland, and Nelson.
The Robinson House in Richmond, located on the campus of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, is significant for its distinctive architecture and compelling history, particularly as part of the nation's first successful and oldest operating home for needy Confederate veterans.
Constructed in the mid-19th century as the country house of Anthony Robinson Jr., a prominent Richmond banker and landowner, the Robinson House indicates the popularity of Italianate architecture with Virginia's antebellum high society. In 1884 the Robinson family sold the house to the R. E. Lee Camp, No. 1, Confederate Veterans, at which time it was transformed it into a three-story institutional headquarters for the R. E. Lee Confederate Soldiers' Home. For 56 years thereafter, Robinson House-renamed Fleming Hall during the Soldiers' Home era-served as a barracks, administrative center, and museum until the facility officially closed in 1941.
The building's role as the literal and symbolic center of the large residential complex for Confederate veterans made it a visual icon of the "Lost Cause" and a long-standing, important site for collective commemoration, remembrance, and reconciliation events. While more than 30 buildings and structures once stood on the grounds of the Soldiers' Home, only Robinson House and the Confederate Memorial Chapel remain, both of which are now owned and maintained by VMFA.
In Bath County, two buildings-Switchback School and John Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church-associated with African American communities there are now listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register (VLR), the state's official list of important historic sites and districts.
Switchback School
Several generations of black students from the Hot Springs area attended Switchback School. The one-story, frame building, typical of the rural Rosenwald schools, stands on its original site today and preserves a substantial amount of its historic building materials. The school, which began as a two-teacher facility later enlarged by the serial addition of two classrooms, is one of two Rosenwald-sponsored schools built in Bath County. It is also one of approximately 70 still surviving out of the 364 that were built across Virginia.
Switchback School closed in 1965 when Bath County ended its official policy of segregation. Secondary contributing historic resources on the site include a late 1930s stone and concrete cistern and three stone walls, structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps..
Two other Bath County sites, Barton Lodge and Three Hills, indicate the appeal of this far western area of Virginia to wealthy outsiders.
Barton Lodge.
Located on a hill at the outskirts of the village of Warm Springs, the estate known as Three Hills was built in 1913 by author Mary Johnston, scholars have taken renewed interest in her and three Craftsman-like cottages that were built in the 1910s and 1920s, including Garden Cottage, where Johnston wrote many of her works.
In northern Virginia, Huntland, an estate covering about 400 acres in Loudoun County, was once devoted primarily to foxhunting, a sport that reinvigorated the economy of the region in the early-20th century. The property was purchased in the early-20th century by wealthy New Yorker Joseph B. Thomas. He converted and enlarged a stately brick country dwelling dating to 1830 into a Colonial Revival-style masterpiece. He also enhanced the grounds with gates, walls, and terraced gardens that are reminiscent of English manor estates and designed Huntland's state-of-the-art kennels and horse stables.
@
By the mid-20th century, when it was owned by two wealthy Texans, Huntland became a retreat for notable Washington dignitaries including then-Senator-a later U. S. President-Lyndon B. Johnson. In 1962, Huntland was also the site of secret international negotiations that resulted in a treaty between Indonesia, the Netherlands and the United Nations centering on the future of New Guinea. The property today also includes a springhouse, smokehouse, and a guest cottage, all constructed around 1834 and early-20th-century resources that include secondary dwellings, a dairy barn with attached silos and a corncrib, a milking parlor, five sheds, a garage, a pump house, and a cistern.
Other sites approved for listing in the VLR by DHR's Board of Historic Resources during its quarterly meeting on September 19 are-
In central Virginia
· The Chesapeake Warehouses in Richmond, constructed in 1929,.
· Fighting Creek, originally part of a 1,699-acre plantation located in Powhatan County and.
·.
In western Virginia
· The C.P. Jones House and Law Office, located in Monterey in Highland County, is an evolved dwelling with Victorian elements that has at its core a two-story log structure built around 1850. The log building may have functioned as the first tavern in the area, and according to local tradition it may also have served as a courthouse before the county courthouse was completed. In 1873, Charles Pinckney Jones purchased the property and began making additions and exterior finishes in the then-current Late Victorian architectural style. He also had additional outbuildings constructed, including his law office. Jones practiced law in Highland and surrounding counties, and served as a delegate and a senator in the Virginia State Legislature, and on the board of visitors for the University of Virginia, which elected him rector of the university. Today's property retains several contributing secondary resources including a mid-19th-century brick springhouse site and a frame smokehouse and apple cellar, both built about 1900.
In southwestern Virginia
· The Ferrum College Historic District in Franklin County encompasses the historic core of what was originally the Ferrum Training School, a Methodist-affiliated high school established in 1913. Virginia Methodists established the school to provide educational opportunities to underprivileged youth in the state's Blue Ridge Mountains region. The eight buildings constituting the historic campus date from 1914 to 1942 and are primarily of Colonial Revival and Classical Revival character. They also.
· The Roanoke River & Railroad Industrial Historic District centers on a tract of land along the Roanoke River in southeast Roanoke that developed rapidly as an industrial corridor with the completion of the Roanoke & Southern Railway in 1892 and the Virginian Railway line in 1909. Industries that arose district's period of significance extends from 1892, the year a Roanoke & Southern Railway line was completed, to 1959, when the Virginian Railway merged with Norfolk & Western and the district's rail station ceased service for freight or passenger traffic.
All of these listings in the state register will be forwarded to the National Park Service for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.

The Bangor High School softball team found itself in an uncharacteristic position last season.
For the first time in five years, the Rams didn’t finish among the top four in the Heal Points standings in Class A North.
Bangor went 7-9 during the regular season and wound up eighth before being dispatched in the Class A North quarterfinals by top seed Skowhegan, 10-0.
It was just the second time in five years that the Rams didn’t win at least one playoff game.
Bangor was 12-6 in 2017 and reached the semifinals.
But 15th-year head coach Don Stanhope and his Rams have turned the page and they got off to a good start with a season-opening 9-1 victory over a Lewiston team that was the No. 3 seed a year ago.
Bangor played a late Friday afternoon game against Brunswick.
“We had a series of injuries (and illnesses) last year that forced kids to play unfamiliar positions,” explained Stanhope. “And we had a few unlucky breaks. But the girls kept pushing and they played better at the end of the season than they did at the beginning and that springboarded them into summer ball.”
Following a productive summer season, Stanhope likes what he has seen from his Rams.
“These girls have played together a lot,” said Stanhope. “They play in a high school league in the summer and travel around to places like Massachusetts to play in tournaments.
“This team will compete every inning, every day,” said Stanhope. “It is a really fun team to coach. They get along really well. They’re cohesive.”
Senior Madi Drake, who is considered by Stanhope to be one of the best outfielders he has ever coached, will return to center field this season after having to play shortstop last season.
The emergence of sophomore shortstop Jenna Smith, who is also a pitcher, enabled Stanhope to move Drake back to center field.
Smith was called up from the JV team at the end of last season to play third base in place of Gabby Gonzales, who was sidelined with a serious illness, and Smith “did a great job” according to Stanhope.
Senior Gonzales is healthy and is back at third base.
Junior Rowan Andrews, who played shortstop and left field a year ago, is the second baseman and sophomore Lydia Chase is the new first baseman replacing the graduated Lindy Bezgembluk.
Junior Cambria Prophete returns as the starter in left field and seniors Olivia Hoovler and Makenzie Thompson and freshman Lane Barron are the right field candidates.
“Cambria has made great gains She has come a long way,” said Stanhope.
Rae Barron, the twin sister of Lane, will be sharing the catching duties with junior Morgan-Carter Moulton, who is also the ace of the pitching staff.
The Barrons are the daughters of University of Maine men’s basketball coach Richard Barron and his wife, Maureen.
“Rae is very talented and has a very high softball IQ,” said Stanhope who called Moulton an exceptional catcher.
Moulton and the departed Lexi Cunnigham, who is now playing for Husson University in Bangor, shared the vast majority of the pitching chores last year.
Gonzales, Smith, Lane Barron and Thompson are also dependable pitchers according to Stanhope, who likes the luxury of having depth in the circle.
Moulton, Drake, Gonzales, Smith and Andrews will be the offensive catalysts and Stanhope feels his team has the potential to be solid defensively, especially now that he is able to keep his players in their natural positions.
Stanhope feels Class A North will be a “little more balanced this year” with defending regional champ Oxford Hills of South Paris and Class A North runner-up Skowhegan to again be the teams to beat.

Legalisation of churches in Egypt slows as Christian leaders say rules are too stringent
Fewer churches and church-affiliated buildings were licensed for worship by the authorities in Egypt in the latest batch announced on 5 August amid complaints from Christian leaders that the civil defence requirements were too stringent and difficult to meet.
Only 88 approvals were made by the cabinet-approved committee in charge of the licensing process, compared with 127 announced on 1 July.
Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouli, who chaired the meeting of the committee, told civil defence authorities to coordinate with churches over reasonable safety requirements, while asking them to bear in mind the regulations were about protecting life and property.
The new batch of approvals brings the number of buildings licensed to 1,109, out of the original 3,730 churches that applied for legalisation before the committee began meeting in early 2017.
A total of 2,621 churches are still waiting approval under the Law for Building and Restoring Churches introduced in September 2016. A number of churches were already licensed before the new law was brought in.
Madbouli has in the past urged the committee to expedite its work. In April, when 111 churches and church-affiliated buildings were legalised, he told members to speed up on approvals to clear the backlog of applications that then stood at 2,836.

Hanukkah, also known as The Festival of Lights, is a Jewish holiday celebrated for eight days and nights. It starts on the 25th day of the Hebrew month Kislev, which falls between November and December on the Gregorian Calendar. This year, Hanukkah starts at sundown (as all Jewish holidays do) on December 20th.
The story of Hanukkah begins during the reign of Alexander the Great. When Alexander conquered Syria, Egypt and Palestine, he allowed the people under his control to observe their own religions.
A century later, however, Antiochus IV, a successor of Alexander, was in control of the region and began to oppress the Jews -- prohibiting the practice of the Jewish religion and desecrating the Temple by requiring the sacrifice of pigs (a non-kosher animal) on the altar. Led by the Maccabees, the Jews revolted, triumphed, and moved to rededicate the Temple.
The miracle of Hanukkah occurred when the Jews returned to the Temple. At the time of the rededication, there was very little oil left to light the menorah, which was supposed to burn throughout the night -- every night. While the oil they found was only enough to burn for one day, it burned for eight days -- the time needed to acquire a fresh supply. An eight day festival was declared to commemorate the miracle.
Today, Jews celebrate Hanukkah for eight days by lighting candles in a menorah each night.
Hanukkah is not actually a major religious holiday in the Jewish faith. The only religious observance is the lighting of the candles; and the menorah is the centerpiece of this ceremony. The menorah holds nine candles -- one for each night, plus a "shamash" used to light the others. On the first night of the holiday, one candle is placed at the far right of the menorah and lit (after prayers are recited) with the shamash. Each night, another candle is added, moving right to left.
Traditionally, dreidel (a gambling game) is played on Hanukkah. The dreidel is a square top with a Hebrew letter on each side. The letters stand for the phrase "Nes Gadol Hayah Sham" (a great miracle happened there). They also tell you what happens when the dreidel lands on them! Nun (nit) means nothing happens. Gimmel (gantz) means you take everything. Heh (halb) means you get half. Shin (shtell) means you put one in. Most people play for matchsticks, pennies, or small candies.
Because of the significance of oil to the holiday, it is traditional to eat fried foods on Hanukkah, The most popular being potato pancakes (or latkes).

Summer is the time for avocados, and that’s fortunate for you because they are considered to be one of the healthiest and most nutritious of foods!

Smash avocado with a fork in a bowl until no lumps remain, or place in blender and blend until smooth. Add honey to smashed avocado, and mix thoroughly with spoon. Put mixture in blender. Add coconut (or other) milk to the mix. Blend on medium until you get a nice, smooth consistency. Take out and freeze for at minimum 2 hours or overnight. I’ve added a banana to this, and it adds more flavor. Yum -- that’s all I have to say.
4. Easy Poached Egg in Avocado
Ingredients:
- 1 avocado slice
- 2 eggs
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Bring 2-3 inches of water to a simmer in a saucepan. Crack eggs in a small bowl, then pour eggs into a sieve, and get rid of the excess egg whites. Return eggs back to the original bowl. Gently slip the egg into the simmering water. Cook for 2-3 minutes. While the eggs are poaching, slice an avocado in half and remove the pit. Then, scoop out a shallow hole in each half. Remove the egg from water and place in the avocado, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. I like this super easy breakfast with a little salsa.
5. Easy Guacamole
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled and sliced
- 1 1/2 tablespoons coarsely chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/2 small jalapeño pepper (or red bell pepper for less spice)
- 1 tablespoon cilantro leaves
Directions:
Place red onion, lime juice, salt, garlic clove, and pepper in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped. Add avocado; process until smooth. Sprinkle with cilantro. Eat on toast, chips or with other foods. You can even use the avocado shell as a bowl! This recipe is pretty basic, but sometimes basic can be the best.

Indianapolis - House Speaker Patrick Bauer wants lawmakers to consider setting aside money for the Interstate 69 extension to ensure that the Indianapolis-to-Evansville highway gets built.
The deadline is nearing for lawmakers to settle on the state's next budget. And Bauer says he favors itemizing funding for the I-69 project rather than approving a lump-sum pool of money that could be used for multiple highway projects.
When the Democratic-controlled House approved its budget bill in February, it allocated no funding for I-69 or other projects out of Governor Daniels' Major Moves construction fund. The Senate budget proposal lists the lump sum, but it does not designate individual road projects. With that funding included, the budget bill now goes back to the House.
An Indiana Department of Transportation projects list had recommended $119 million for I-69 as part of a larger one-point-one billion-dollars in highway projects.

Jimmy Fallon and The Roots went back to school - again - Monday night.
"The Tonight Show" host and his band pulled out the classroom instruments and joined "Frozen" star Idina Menzel in a remake of "Let It Go," the Oscar-winning song from the Disney film.
Fallon played wooden alphabet blocks, while Menzel manned the triangle for the song. Members of The Roots played kazoos, a small plastic xylophone, a tambourine and other instruments pulled straight from grade school music class for the song.
"Let It Go" won the Academy Award Sunday night for "Best Original Song." Menzel provided the voice of Elsa in the animated hit.
Menzel is the latest star to join the new Tonight Show host for a classroom remake. Others have included Robin Thicke, Carly Rae Jepsen, Mariah Carey and the cast of Sesame Street.

My Love of Layers
A guest post by Seth Apter. There are still a very few seats available in Seth's workshops coming up on January 17 and 18.
I have often been asked to describe my artistic style – something that I have a challenging time doing. In thinking about. While this does not necessarily differentiate my work from others, as many people use layering in their art, it may just be the most important aspect to my creativity.
I love layering. Paint. Paper. Objects. Anything really. Part of it is the look that is created when layer after layer is applied to a surface. There is a depth that is developed that just cannot be made any other way. As a new layer is added, it is both informed by and brings changes to the previous and future layers. Even the earliest layers that cannot be seen help determine the look of the finished surface.
Layers are about adding and subtracting. Covering and revealing. The artist’s hand is evident in every choice. Two artists, layering the same two colors of paint or paper, will create completely different pieces. Two hundred artists will do the same – and by the same, I mean different!
Layers create history. They add a sense of time passing and a feeling of experience. In this way, they echo our lives. And this may be the most salient reason why I love to layer. Layers in my work are symbolic of the layers of my life. You can look at a picture of me and see the surface but there is a lot underneath that you do not see. It is those layers that really define and determine who I am. In this case, it truly is a case of art imitates life.

Speaker:
Title:
An Unbiased Determination of Class II MHC Peptide Repertoires via Yeast-displayed Libraries
Abstract:
CD4+ ‘helper’ T cell function relies upon T cell receptor recognition of peptides displayed by class II MHCs. Algorithms developed to predict which peptides can bind to class II MHCs – and therefore be recognized by CD4+ T cells – suffer from significant inaccuracies due to a lack of diverse high-quality peptide data. Here, we present a yeast-displayed platform to screen large unbiased peptide libraries for binding to multiple class II alleles, discovering peptide binding motifs that can significantly improve current prediction algorithms.

Join us for our first “For Love of Beer & Mountains” seasonal release of 2017, at Highland Brewing Company in Asheville, NC!
Family friendly, free event from 4 to 9 pm
Music provided by The Resonant Rogues from 7 to 9 pm
The name “Southern Sixers” refers to a group of Southern Appalachian Mountains over 6,000 feet in elevation. Southern Sixer IPA, like Highland’s other seasonal beers, is named for a protected feature of the Southern Appalachian landscape.
Conserving this area’s land and water retains its true value and beauty. To that end, every glass of Southern Sixer sold at the release party will result in $1.00 donated to the Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy.
Southern Sixer is packed with six American hop varieties, bringing assertive citrus and tropical fruit notes to this West Coast-inspired IPA. Golden in color and medium bodied, this brew finishes bitter and crisp with a lingering, dank hop presence.
Brewmaster Hollie Stephenson will be giving a brief “hop tour” of the six hops in this seasonal brew before each of Highland’s regularly scheduled tours. You’ll get to touch and smell the hops, then do a quick tasting of Southern Sixer with Hollie before heading off for an informative tour about Highland with one of their talented tour guides.
About the Band
Music provided by The Resonant Rogues – Asheville, NC based band The Resonant Rogues are the songwriting soul child of partners Sparrow and Keith. Having toured relentlessly during their first 3 years of existence, covering most of the United States and much of Europe, this group has ears for the past and eyes toward the future.

ALMATY, Kazakhstan (AP) -- The venue for talks on Iran's nuclear program between world powers and Tehran carries a symbolism that Western negotiators will hope serves as a positive omen.
In the 1990s, Kazakhstan, a sprawling former Soviet republic, gave up a huge nuclear stockpile and now wants to capitalize on its nonproliferation track record by offering to host a bank of reactor fuel that would remove the need for countries, namely Iran, to enrich uranium for themselves.
That may be one proposal under consideration at this week's talks in Kazakhstan's commercial capital, Almaty, between Iran and six world powers -- five permanent U.N. Security council members and Germany -- on Tehran's controversial nuclear program.
Iran.
Kazakhstan will not be involved in the talks that start Tuesday, and are expected to last for two days.
Kazakhstan's willingness to dispense with its once formidable arsenal in large part was born out of its grim legacy as a nuclear weapon testing site in Soviet times. Some critics say, however, that Kazakhstan's vocal trumpeting of its nonproliferation record is designed to act as a smoke screen for its lack of democratic freedoms.
Amid the Soviet Union's collapse, the Central Asian nation unexpectedly found itself holding more than a thousand strategic nuclear warheads and 370 nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, becoming the world's first predominantly Muslim-populated nuclear power.
Within a day of Kazakhstan declaring independence in 1991, Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat flew into Almaty in a visit that alarmed Western diplomats. Weeks later, Kazakhstan's President Nursultan Nazarbayev visited Pakistan, but officials ruled out cooperation on nuclear technology.
A former foreign minister of Kazakhstan last year claimed that Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi was yet another hopeful buyer snubbed by Kazakhstan.
Instead of responding to the overtures of Muslim partners in its neighborhood, including Iran, Kazakhstan sought help to divest itself of its powerful inheritance.
Its warheads were transferred to Russia by 1995, and the removal of highly enriched uranium stocks from a secret Soviet-built facility was done with U.S. assistance.
That process was inspired by Kazakhstan's recent history.
From 1949 to 1989, the bare flatlands of northern Kazakhstan were the site for 456 nuclear tests -- 116 of them above ground -- that affected an area the size of Arizona and populated by some 1.5 million people.
"The damage on our environment has been so serious that scientists believe it will take centuries to restore to normality," Nazarbayev said in a 2009 speech marking the 20th anniversary of the final test.
But even as Kazakhstan got rid of its nuclear arsenal, suspicions lingered.

- Holi Celebration Contains Many Colors
- Colors can get into eyes, mouth and ears. 19659004] Knowing how to handle such situations
Holi is full of fun and colors. Applying colors to each other's face is mandatory on every holi. However, these paints are loaded with chemicals that can be very damaging to your skin and other organs. When celebrating Holi, the color can get into your eyes, nose, ears and mouth, which can lead to serious problems if ignored. In such a situation, you have to be very careful and follow a few steps to remove all the color from your sensitive body parts. Ram Ashish Yadav, a medical officer in Siddhartha Nagar Uttar Pradesh, approached us to guide us through the basic steps that can be followed when the color gets into your eyes, ears, nose or mouth.
For the eyes
DR. Ram Ashish explains that eyes are one of the most sensitive organs of the human body. If the paint gets in your eyes, you should get rid of the paint before it turns into something serious. You should first wash your eyes with water several times. Do not use too hot or cold water. Do not rub your eyes. You may feel an irritation or a burning sensation. If it persists even after washing your eyes with water, you should seek medical attention immediately.
Some other tips for protecting your eyes during Holi:
- Use only natural or organic color
- Do not let the color enter directly into the eyes
- Avoid using contact lenses when playing with colors
- You can also wear sunglasses to protect your eyes
- Do not touch your eyes when your hands are full of color.
Read also: Removing Holi Colors from Your Skin
For Ears
Dry colors can enter your ears, which can lead to infection if not removed from the ears. When the color gets into your ears, tilt your head and shake your ear to remove the color as much as possible. After that, only a certain amount of color remains in the ears, which you can later clean with an earplug.
For the mouth
Both dry and wet paint can enter your mouth. In such a situation you should gargle immediately with water. Do not let the paint go through your mouth. Throw all the paint outside and later clean your mouth with water. After a while use a mouthwash or warm water. Do not eat anything at this moment. Wait at least an hour before eating.

Other safety tips for a safe holi
- Apply the right oil to the whole body before you play with the colors
- Use natural and safe colors
- Wash your hands before eating anything
- Drink plenty of water
- Do not overconsume sweets
- Do not stay in wet for very long Clothing
- Keep clean water nearby.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Pianist and vocalist Ann Rabson, co-founder of the trio Saffire-The Uppity Blues Women, has died in Virginia after a battle with cancer.
Alligator Records says Rabson died Wednesday in Fredericksburg. She was 67.
Rabson recorded eight albums with Saffire and one solo CD for Alligator Records, and three solo albums for other labels. A barrelhouse blues pianist, Rabson was also a songwriter and guitarist.
The native New Yorker moved to Fredericksburg in 1971 where she gave music lessons on the side. She and one of her students, Gaye Adegbalola, decided to perform together, launching what eventually would be Saffire. Andra Faye McIntosh rounded out the trio.
The trio disbanded in 2009 after 25 years of performing.
Rabson is survived by her husband, George Newman, her daughter and a granddaughter.

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Chris Capuano outdueled J.A. Happ in the rubber match of a three-game series, giving the Dodgers a 5-1 win over the Astros.
"Cap was great today," Dodgers catcher Matt Treanor said. "He mixed it up and changed speeds. He's a smart guy making pitches when he has to."
Capuano (7-1) went seven strong, allowing only one run and two hits. The lefty struck out eight and walked two.
."
Jose Altuve led off the game with a triple, scoring when Jed Lowrie grounded out, but the Astros only managed one more hit.
The Dodgers' staff struck out 10 Astros and allowed only four base runners on the day.
After falling behind early, the Dodgers quickly responded by tying the game in the second inning. Treanor and Dee Gordon delivered one-out singles to start the rally. After Capuano popped up his bunt attempt for the second out, Tony Gwynn Jr. evened up the score with a base hit.
After helping tie the game, Treanor put the Dodgers on top in the fourth inning with a home run to left-center field.
"I'm just trying to have quality at bats and make something happen," Treanor said.
The Astros then helped the Dodgers expand their lead in the seventh. After Hairston delivered a one-out single, Andre Ethier reached base on Chris Johnson's two-base error. Fernando Rodriguez then replaced Happ and intentionally walked pinch-hitter James Loney to load the bases. Rodriguez then walked Bobby Abreu to force in a run and give the Dodgers and 3-1 lead.
Los Angeles put the game out of reach in the eighth. Gordon led off the inning with a base hit, stole second and scored when Gwynn lined a pitch to center for a single. Two batters later, Gwynn scored on Hairston's fifth hit of the game..

Toronto, ON (Sports Network) - R.A. Dickey prevailed in a pitcher's duel with Andy Pettitte, and the Toronto Blue Jays struck the latest blow to the New York Yankees' playoff hopes with a 2-0 victory that opened a three-game series at Rogers Centre.
Dickey (13-12) yielded just four hits and two walks while striking out eight over seven scoreless innings, sending the sputtering Yankees to a fourth straight loss after Casey Janssen struck out the side in the ninth.
"It would be nice to continue to grow. These are important game, for me in particular. We are going to be competing next year, it is important to start getting it right now," said Dickey.
The setback dropped New York to 3 1/2 games back in the American League wild card race, where Tampa Bay and Texas currently hold the top two spots after the Rangers defeated the Rays on Tuesday.
Pettitte (10-10) gave the Yankees a chance by firing 6 2/3 effective innings, with the veteran's lone mistake a solo homer to Colby Rasmus in the bottom of the fourth. Rajai Davis added a solo shot later on and finished 2-for-4 in the win, only the Blue Jays' fourth in 17 meetings with New York this season.
Rasmus broke a scoreless deadlock with his third homer in as many games, a towering blast into the second deck in right with one out in the bottom of the fourth. Pettitte was able to keep the Blue Jays at bay for the remainder of his stint, aided by a nifty sliding catch from center fielder Curtis Granderson on Brett Lawrie's sinking liner that ended the fifth with the speedy Davis on second.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi removed Pettitte with two out and none on in the seventh following the lefty's 110th pitch. Shawn Kelley came on in relief and was promptly greeted by a long home run from Davis that extended the lead to 2-0.
"It is tough. You get a good pitching performance from Andy. We just weren't able to do anything (offensively). We just have to go out and win tomorrow," said Girardi.
New York had Dickey in trouble early on, loading the bases with two out before the knuckleballer fanned Mark Reynolds to end the threat. The Yankees stranded two more runners in the second.
Dickey was masterful from that point on, striking out the side in third and retiring the final 11 batters he faced before giving way to Sergio Santos to begin the eighth.
The Yankees mustered only a pair of singles over the final seven innings.
Davis is 12-for-23 lifetime against Pettitte, who was dealt his first loss
since Aug. 5 at the White Sox despite a seventh consecutive quality start ...
Pettitte also lost for just the second time (7-2) in his last 10 outings
against Toronto dating back to August of 2009, with three of those wins coming
this season ... The Blue Jays ended the seasons of first baseman/DH Edwin
Encarnacion and reliever Brett Cecil by placing both on the 15-day disabled
list before the game. Encarnacion is headed for surgery to repair cartilage
damage in his left wrist, while Cecil is bothered by a sore elbow ... The
Yankees are 4-14 in their last 18 games when failing to hit a home run.

- Is your brake fluid low, or appear very dirty?
- Do you feel a pulsation or some sponginess in the brake pedal when it is depressed?
- Do you hear a grinding sound or a squealing sound when you apply the brake pedal?
These are the most common signs, any other sights, sounds or sensations in the brake system that seem out of the ordinary should also be taken into consideration. Most times, brake system problems will only escalate if disregarded.
Our free brake check facility gives a clear picture of the condition of your vehicle’s brakes, and whether you need new brake pads, brake discs or if the braking system itself is in need of repair. All elements are inspected against the manufacturer’s specification, which means Best Drive Helensvale will help you get your brakes back to the most efficient standards set.

A Lafayette mother-to-be says her doctor lied to her.
She says she was told hospital policy at I-U Health Arnett forces her to have her baby in Indianapolis.
But there is no policy and the woman says she and her sister have been unfairly treated because of their weight.
The due date - May 15th - for Kaly Deel and husband Gabe is not a problem.
But the hospital location is.
She wants to give birth to her 2nd child at IU Health Arnett.
But when she tipped the scales at 353 pounds.. she was told.. that wouldn't be an option.
"So you were told it was IU Health Arnett policy that if you weighed more than 350"
"You had to go to the hospital in Indianapolis, downtown Indy."
"It's not the doctor's decision, it is IU Health Arnett policy"
"That's what she said."
But it didn't sound right to her.
She says she was even heavier when she gave birth to her first child at Arnett four years ago.
"I've talked to several people and no one has heard of this."
Deel says her sister who is also over 350 pounds was given the same policy line by a different doctor before the sister gave birth in Indianapolis last fall.
Between her sister's bad experience.. Deel's worries about the long drive plus the extra costs associated with multiple trips to Indianapolis.. she wants to give birth closer to home.
"IU was very good to me with my first son"
IU Health Arnett refused a request for an interview but said there is no policy in place specific to a patient's weight.
A statement was released which states in part..
"Our highly skilled physicians always make decisions that are in the best interest of the patient and their safety"
and that decisions are
"evaluated on a case-by-case basis."
"She said it was policy that I had to go there. She did not say it was in the best interest of me or the baby"
"If she had said that?"
"If she would have said that, then I would have been okay and I would have gone with her decision."
Deel says unlike her first pregnancy when both high blood pressure and gestational diabetes were a concern.. outside of her weight.. there are no complications.
"So i just don't understand why they are singling us out...I'm hoping they'll have a different outlook on bigger people and not treat us differently than the other people"
A spokesperson for the hospital said she was fully aware of the situation and unwilling to make further comment.

Jackson county commissioners voted to keep Round Lake open to members of the public, but owner wants it closed.
The Jackson County Commission's decision to keep Round Lake open to the public was like sweet music to the ears of those who have used the lake for decades.
"I was very happy with the decision because this land was platted back in the 1900's and it belongs to the public," said Deborah Connelly, supports keeping the lake open.
Another supporter, Matthew Maloy says "I am very happy. I did this for my kids... Round Lake is all they got, they've got nothing else to do,"
But for the lakes owner, Joe Shores, keeping it open, he says, would open him up to a slieu of potential lawsuits.
Shores claims that the lake has become a place that some go to drink, dump trash, and engage in other illegal activities.
With so many people, including children, using the lake for fun and recreation, Shores says he's afraid that those who come to cause trouble may cause others to get hurt, on his property.
"I've never really wanted to close the lake, I jut want to know who would be held liable. If it's me then I'm going to take the necessary steps to protect myself and my family," said Shores.
So if someone were to get hurt while using the lake, would it be the county or Shores who would be held responsible?
No answer has been given, and that is something that could cause some serious legal troubles for Shores in the future.
Shore's attorney John Bischof says he will continue to do whatever is necessary to protect his clients financial interests even if it means pursuing possible plans to have the lake.

Nuclear fusion
Explore nuclear fusion with the IOP
New technologies and scientific advances have propelled fusion power from a distant dream to a distinct possibility. Its potential for clean, limitless energy could be the key weapon to combat climate change.
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Their names may be similar but they are in fact completely different. Though they both alter atoms to create energy, fission splits one atom into two, whereas fusion glues two lighter atoms into a larger one.
Nuclear power plants providing electricity to homes around the world rely on fission, splitting uranium atoms to heat water and ultimately produce energy. But the dream for nuclear power is to harness nuclear fusion – the same process powering all stars, including our Sun.
Fusion would have a limitless supply of fuel, running on atoms distilled from water. It would release four times the energy of nuclear fission. Moreover, it would come with none of the risks of fission, with no possibility of a Fukushima-like nuclear meltdown and no long-lived radioactive waste.
Why then, are we not building nuclear fusion power plants right now? Well, fusion science is tricky. To achieve a controlled nuclear fusion reaction here on Earth, scientists attempt to combine two forms of hydrogen: deuterium and tritium. Hydrogen has just a single proton and an electron. Deuterium has an extra neutron in its nucleus, and tritium has two extra neutrons. When they are combined, they form helium and release a neutron. Crucially, the final mass is less than the initial mass. By Einstein’s famous equation E = mc2, this means a huge amount of energy is produced. The energy can then be converted to electricity via steam just like current fission power plants.
The tricky bit is bringing the deuterium and tritium together. To make it happen, scientists need extremely high temperatures (150 million °C) and pressures, and to maintain them for long enough to create a self-sustaining fusion reaction. Most importantly, they need to ensure that the fusion process releases more energy than is put in to creating these extreme conditions.
So far, scientists have been unable to sustain fusion reactions on Earth for more than a few seconds, and are not even close to breaking even in terms of energy input versus output. The closest any fusion device came was in 1997 when the Joint European Torus (JET) in the UK generated 16 MW of fusion power for 24 MW of input power.
JET is an example of a doughnut-shaped magnetic confinement device called a tokomak. Tokomaks are widely regarded as the most promising design for a practical fusion reactor. Over 200 have been built around the world since the first in 1958. Yet as early as the 1980s it had become clear that problems limiting their performance meant they needed to be much bigger, much more complicated and much more expensive.
These concerns led to the launch of an international joint experiment in fusion in 1985. Almost 35 years later, construction is underway in rural southern France on the biggest and most ambitious tokomak ever conceived – ITER. ITER is a collaboration between 35 countries to build a ~€20 billion tokomak capable of producing 10 times more energy than needed to run the machine – 500 MW of power for 20 minutes at a cost of only 50 MW input power. If successful, it will be the first fusion device to produce net energy and the first to maintain fusion for long periods of time.
ITER is expected to start running in 2025, reaching full operations a decade later. Yet it is not designed to actually produce electricity. ITER’s planned successor DEMO (DEMOnstration Power Station) will hopefully do this around the mid-21st Century. And, if successful, DEMO will pave the way for commercial fusion power plants after.
These long timescales mean ITER-like fusion power plants will only be contributing substantially to the energy mix near the end of the century. Might there be a simpler and cheaper way of harnessing fusion energy?
Both private companies and public organizations around the world think there is. Among other businesses, Tokamak Energy, TAE Technologies, General Fusion, Lockheed Martin and Commonwealth Fusion Systems are all pursuing more compact and less expensive designs they hope will pave the way to the first commercially viable fusion power plants.
Many of these are based on a design called a ‘spherical tokomak’. Spherical tokomaks were first pioneered in the late 1990s by the UK Atomic Energy Agency with the START and MAST experiments and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory’s NSTX machine. These experiments have shown that spherical tokomaks are more efficient than their more traditional counterparts like ITER and JET, requiring less magnetic field. However, they come with challenges, not least removing the intensely concentrated heat from the reactor.
Those in the industry believe these challenges can be overcome in the next few years, with commercial fusion power plants coming online as early as the 2030s. As we witness the mounting effects of climate change, the sooner fusion power can provide limitless, clean energy the better.

Now, to the further embarrassment of alarmists, Kerry Emanuel, professor of Atmospheric Science at MIT, who first advanced the thesis of a connection between global warming and hurricanes, has rejected his own theory after further research. Bad luck for Al Gore, who used the image of a hurricane emerging from a smoke stack to promote his fantasy extravaganza An Inconvenient Truth.

My friends, the real fact is that when Europe suffers a heat wave they rush to point global warming and CO2 as a cause, but when the continent suffers a major cold snap is just natural variability.

Ferre alluded to the $175 “cow tax” that some farmers feel is a possibility and could increase their operating costs. Ferre said the Environment Protection Agency has denied it is considering a tax on livestock. However, Rick Krause, senior director of congressional relations for the American Farm Bureau, told the Business & Media Institute it is a possibility - especially based on the rhetoric of President-elect Barack Obama and the use of the EPA to combat global warming.

What is the Big Deal About Toxins?
You may be wondering if a detox diet actually works, or what’s the big deal about toxins?
Here’s the real dirt on toxins:
Detox diets are growing in popularity, but we should first examine what detoxing really is. Before we can understand the “de” in detox, let’s take a closer look at the “tox” (a.k.a. the toxins we’re aiming to get rid of).
Toxins are made up of small compounds from various sources, and if they build up in our bodies, these small substances can drastically affect our health.
Internal buildup of toxins can cause a range of symptoms:
- Headaches
- Nausea
- Indigestion, feeling bloated with gas
- Feeling tired all day, especially after eating
- Lack of mental clarity
- Suffering from general aches and pains in your body
- Not feeling present in the moment
- Having a hard time falling asleep, staying asleep and/or getting out of bed in the mornings
- Sweat, urine and/or stools smells bad
- Urine is not clear
Toxins causing these symptoms are broken into two main categories:
Environmental Toxins: These are made outside of your body and are carried in things like food, air, and water. Some examples are over-the-counter or prescription medication, carbon monoxide, and pesticides.
Metabolic Toxins: These are the opposite of environmental and are made inside of the body. They can include the “waste” produced by our cells, for example when highly processed food is released during digestion.
Our livers, lungs and kidneys bear the large part of the burden in processing these toxins.
Let’s examine the ‘de’ in ‘detox’
Now that we know exactly what these toxins are and ways to identify them, you’re probably wondering how do we get rid of these toxins?
The best way to detox is to avoid toxins in the first place, but this is no easy task especially when we consider the many different toxins we are exposed to everyday.
We’ve outlined the best ways to detox:
Eat Healthy: Eating organically and healthy is the true “detox diet.” There’s nothing fancy about it. Once you’ve created a healthy habit, it’s easier to maintain your health rather than having to get it back. It’s all about prevention, and your body would rather consume pure nutrients and avoid dealing with a bunch of processed foods and their toxins all together. When possible always go organic, that way you can avoid ingesting the nasty chemicals, antibiotics and pesticides often found on or in non-organic foods.
Meal Prep: Check out our Pinterest page for recipe ideas and our blog about how to meal prep if you need any inspiration!
Be Aware of What’s on Your Skin: Anything you put on your skin will get absorbed by your body, as the skin is our largest organism. Many lotions, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, makeup products, nail polishes and other beauty products contain hazardous chemicals and toxins. Learn more about the ugly truth about makeup to avoid unknowingly exposing yourself to potential toxins.
Keep the Air Fresh: Try switching to greener cleaning products that will emit fewer chemicals that are harmful to breathe in, and do your best to avoid things like cigarette smoke as much as you can. Indoor air quality is often worse than it is outdoors, so making an effort to go outside more often can make a big difference.
Exercise: Nothing else besides exercising regularly will keep your blood pumping and circulating through your body, which helps keep your system clear of bad build up. It just boosts your organ health overall, and often times you can work up a good sweat. While you don’t sweat out all toxins, you certainly feel good and healthy after you work out effectively and sweat a little.
Remember this:
You and your body are a team. The best way to keep your system toxic free is to take it day-by-day rather than an intense period detoxing, because that won’t help much once you stop. The same detox diet won’t work for everyone because true success comes when you know what to avoid and how to make realistic changes you can stick with to make a progressive change for a healthier lifestyle!
