Hmm.. I've been busy for quite sometime because of law school, which is really getting tougher and tougher as days go by, but so far so good, yet I still want to vent out which I often do as you know, when something's bugging me. Well, it has long been my problem when I entered the system, which is law school. I wonder if ever the connotation that the law profession is so dirty would leave my senses, when in fact, even if you're still in law school you experience some dirty tactics of your fellow students, moreso if they are your close friends and they offer you to take their materials. It's like you're being pushed to use a prohibited drug which later on would make you addicted and cannot live without it.
I am not certain whether the things on my mind could be considered dirty tactics in order to pass one's subjects but somewhat I feel that there is injustice going on. I really admire those classmates of mine who really settle for what is fair and just for their fellow students. I do try as much as possible not to be singled-out by the system but it is really tempting, because it's a sure way for a passing mark, but with the sense of idealism I have I really feel so disgusted when I see those 'dirty harry's.
I must admit, I had my share of those 'dirty harry' things, and I feel bad about it. It only shows that I, too have been maligned by the system. There's this struggle going on right now in my mind, thoughts are flowing in and out. Thoughts which provoke my inner senses either to fight the system, to live up with the system and shut my mouth or join those dirty harry's. It's hard to choose, even choosing the lesser evil makes you wonder whether it would give you good results.
Hay.. the field of law!

Rhus glabra
Cashew family (Anacardiaceae)
Description: This shrub is usually 3-10' tall, although occasionally it is up to 20' tall. It typically has a single trunk and several leafy branches. On older mature shrubs, trunk bark is brownish gray, horizontally fissured, and slightly warty, while the bark of major branches is brownish gray to reddish brown and more smooth. Alternate compound leaves occur along the branches and young shoots; they are odd-pinnate with 9-31 leaflets and deciduous. Individual leaflets are up to 4½" long and 1" across; they are narrowly lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate in shape, serrated along their margins with low blunt teeth, and sessile. The upper leaflet surface is yellowish green to dark green and hairless, while the lower leaflet surface is whitened, hairless, and glaucous. Leaflet venation is pinnate. The rachises (central stalks) and petioles of the compound leaves are whitish pale red to whitish pale purple, and glaucous. During the autumn, the leaflets become brilliant red or dark red. The upper branches terminate in more or less erect panicles of flowers that are up to 1¼' long and ¾' across; the peduncles (basal stalks) of these panicles are up to 6" long and stout.
Because Smooth Sumac (Rhus glabra) is dioecious, individual shrubs produce either all male (staminate) or all female (pistillate) flowers. Regardless of gender, individual flowers are a little less than ¼" across, consisting of a yellowish green or whitish green corolla with 5 spreading lobes and a green calyx with 5 teeth. Both the lobes the corolla and teeth of the calyx are lanceolate to ovate in shape. In addition, individual male flowers have 5 stamens, while individual female flowers have an ovary with 3 styles. The stout branches of the panicle are light green and usually pubescent. The blooming period occurs from late spring to mid-summer, lasting about 2-3 weeks. On female shrubs, the flowers are replaced by drupes that become mature during the autumn and often persist into the winter. Individual mature drupes are a little less than ¼" across and more or less globoid in shape; they are brilliant dark red and densely covered with short acrid hairs, fading gradually to black during the winter. The fleshy interior of each drupe contains a single stony seed that is straw-colored (stramineus) and smooth along its surface. The root system is highly rhizomatous, often producing colonies of clonal shrubs.
Cultivation: The preference is full to partial sun, moist to dry conditions, and soil containing loam, clay-loam, gravelly material, or rocky material. With the possible exception of Staghorn Sumac (Rhus hirta), this sumac tolerates soil with a higher pH than other sumac shrubs (Rhus spp.) within Illinois. Smooth Sumac develops rapidly, but individual shrubs are short-lived. Nonetheless, it can spread aggressively and persist in a given area because of the formation of clonal offsets from its rhizomes.
Range & Habitat: The native Smooth Sumac occurs in every county of Illinois; it is a common plant (see Distribution Map). Habitats include prairies, edges of prairies, edges of hill prairies, open woodlands with a history of disturbance, savannas, thickets, woodland borders, limestone glades, fence rows, areas along railroads, roadside embankments, and waste places. Smooth Sumac is one of the shrubby invaders of prairies; it is a pioneer species that thrives on disturbance. Because of its extensive root system, it is able to recover from occasional wildfires or mowing.
Faunal Associations: Nectar is available as a floral reward from female shrubs, while both nectar and pollen are available as floral rewards from male shrubs to insect visitors. These flower-visiting insects include Halictid bees (Agapostemon spp., Halictus spp., Lasioglossum spp.), plasterer bees (Colletes spp.), Andrenid bees (Andrena spp.), little carpenter bees (Ceratina spp.), soldier flies (Stratiomyidae), Syrphid flies, bee flies (Bombyliidae), thick-headed flies (Conopidae), Tachinid flies, flesh flies (Sarcophagidae), Muscid flies, miscellaneous wasps, and occasional butterflies or beetles. Little carpenter bees also construct nests by tunneling into the pith of broken twigs. Other insects feed destructively on the foliage, wood, sap, flowers, and other parts of Smooth Sumac (Rhus glabra) and other sumac species (Rhus spp.). These species include larvae of a butterfly, the Red-banded Hairstreak (Calycopis cecrops), and larvae of such moths as the Showy Emerald (Dichorda iridaria), Ruddy Dagger Moth (Acronicta rubricoma), Dark Marathyssa (Marathyssa inficita), Sumac Paectes (Paectes abrostolella), and Spotted Datana (Datana perspicua). The Lepidoptera Table has a more complete list of butterfly and moth species that feed on these shrubs. Other insect feeders include the Sumac Flea Beetle (Blepharida rhois), Lupine Bug (Megalotomus quinquespinosus), Clouded Plant Bug (Neurocolpus nubilus), Sumac Gall Aphid (Melaphis rhois), larvae of the Sumac Stem Borer (Oberea ocellata), and larvae the Sumac Flowerbud Gall Midge (Asphondylia integrifoliae). The Insect Table has a more complete list of insect species that feed on these shrubs, excluding the Lepidoptera. The fruits of Smooth Sumac and other sumac species are eaten primarily by upland gamebirds and various songbirds, especially during the winter when little else is available. These bird species include the Ruffed Grouse, Bobwhite Quail, Ring-necked Pheasant, Northern Cardinal, Northern Flicker, American Crow, Fish Crow, Starling, Brown Thrasher, Swainson's Thrush, Eastern Phoebe, Veery, and Pine Warbler; the Bird Table has a more complete list of these bird species. In addition to these fruit-eating birds, White-tailed Deer browse on the twigs and foliage, while the Cottontail Rabbit gnaws on the stems of young saplings and the bark of older shrubs during the winter.
Photographic Location: Photographs were taken at a remnant prairie along a railroad near Champaign, Illinois, and at Meadowbrook Park in Urbana, Illinois.
Comments: Smooth Sumac (Rhus glabra) is an attractive shrub during the autumn because of its hairy red fruits and bright red foliage. Among other sumac species (Rhus spp.) in Illinois, Smooth Sumac can be distinguished by the absence of hairs on its stems and leaf rachises, the absence of winged leaf rachises, and the number of leaflets on its compound leaves. In contrast, Staghorn Sumac (Rhus hirta) has brownish hairs on its stems and leaf rachises, Winged Sumac (Rhus copallina) has winged rachises on its leaves, and Fragrant Sumac (Rhus aromatica) has only 3 leaflets per compound leaf. A sapling of another species, the Tree-of-Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), superficially resembles Smooth Sumac, but the former species can be readily distinguished by its leaflets: they have light green undersides (rather than white), far fewer teeth along their margins, and they have conspicuous petiolules (basal stalklets), while the leaflets of Smooth Sumac are sessile.

What it means
Grocery union workers are voting this weekend on whether to authorize a strike at Ralphs, Vons and Albertsons stores. A strike could begin within 72 hours after a vote, but it would be unlikely to happen that quickly. More likely, both sides would meet at the bargaining table one last time.
If there's a strike: Stores will remain open, likely with workers picketing outside.
Other grocery chains — such as Trader Joe's, Costco, Henry's Markets, Food4Less and Sprouts Farmers Markets — would not be included in a strike.
If there's a strike would you cross the picket line to shop at Ralphs, Vons or Albertsons?
Yes 52% (1730)
No 48% (1591)

Grocery workers at Ralphs, Vons and Albertsons will begin voting Friday on whether to authorize union leaders to call a strike after six months of negotiations with the supermarket chains.
Union leaders in San Diego County and throughout Southern California are urging workers to reject a health care package proposed by the chains. The union negotiators contend that the plan would underfund future health benefits while representatives for the chains say the offer is reasonable and affordable for workers.
A rejection automatically authorizes union officials to call a strike after 72 hours, although both sides said that a work stoppage was unlikely to begin that quickly. They would most likely meet for one last round of bargaining, a union leader said.
"Nobody wants a strike here — we don't," said Mickey Kasparian, president of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 135 in San Diego. "We understand the economy is in a tough state, but we certainly can't authorize a contract that would destroy our members' health benefits fund in 18 months."
A four-month strike and lockout that began in 2003 cost grocers an estimated $2 billion.
The San Diego workers will cast votes Friday and Saturday at the Scottish Rite Center in Mission Valley.
Federally mediated contract talks officially ended on Wednesday. If workers authorize a strike, the federal mediator would likely ask both sides to try to reach an agreement before a work stoppage, Kasparian said. That could happen within a few days, he said.
Albertsons and Vons stores have posted signs seeking temporary workers in the event of a strike. Ralphs has not yet started to advertise for replacement workers.
Kasparian believes that the grocery chains are dragging out negotiations to avoid paying health benefits while the employees work without a contract. The chains haven't put money into the workers' health benefits fund since the contract expired in March and the fund is running low, he said. The unions want the chains to fully replenish the fund.
Ralphs spokeswoman Kendra Doyel said the proposal on the table anticipates replenishing the fund adequately, although not to the level the unions want. She characterized the offer as "an affordable health care proposal for employees."
Clergy members and community activists met with local Ralphs supermarket managers at a Los Angeles store to show concern and support for unionized grocery workers because the cost of health care is "driving people into a hole," Jackson said.
"They want health care and not
Doyel said the chain is committed to staying at the negotiating table.
Both sides announced last month that they had reached a tentative agreement on the employers' contributions to pension benefits, but health care costs have been a major sticking point.
Ralphs currently pays more than 90 percent of employee health coverage costs, Doyel said. Workers hired before 2004 pay nothing for health insurance while those hired later pay either $7 a week for single coverage or $15 a week for family coverage.
The companies' proposal would raise that to $9 a week for singles and $23 a week for families. That is much lower than the average cost of health care insurance in California, she said.
Doyel said she believes the proposal is good for employees and their families and is affordable.
Union Local 770 spokesman Mike Shimpock contended the supermarkets were attempting to shift rising health care costs onto the backs of low-paid workers while the companies are reaping billions of dollars in profits.
"Without health care, we have nothing. I work for health care only, pretty much," said Asenheh Brim, 50, who is raising a young stepdaughter.
Brim, a deli worker, said she did not want another strike if it could be avoided.
"I was here for the last strike. It was devastating," she said. "My pride did not hold up, with the bills ... I had
Strike pay dwindled from $200 a week down to about $75, she said.

Our vocal and junior drama ensembles were invited to take part in the Catholic Schools Week Mass and their hard work and commitment paid off when an appreciative congregation listened to their gorgeous singing and watched their imaginative interpretation of the gospel. Thankyou to everyone involved, especially Jeanette, Michael, Lisa and Kirsten who did such a fabulous job preparing the cast in addition to their regular ASPIRE repertoire.
I think one of the reasons our students were so successful this week was because they committed to what they were taking part in. The drama group gave due respect to the message they were conveying and weren't too over the top (a common mistake when performing physical theatre) whilst the singers not only sang their hearts out but committed to the mood and dynamics of each hymn, adapting their performances as required.
Commitment doesn't just mean turning up each week and learning your lines or music. It's about really getting to grips with the piece of music you're playing, or the scene you're performing or the emotion you're trying to convey through dance. You have to commit to each moment you're on stage. If you don't commit to what you're doing, you run the risk of not conveying the story to the audience, to not engaging the audience and essentially not getting the most from your performance.
I had the great pleasure of doing some drama work with our intermediate dance ensemble this week, as they are being asked to depict many different characters this year. We looked at physically becoming different characters, how they move, what their faces look like and how we avoid going completely over the top with them. The big challenge was to not be too 'dancey' - a massive challenge for a dancer. They really have to commit to not worrying about perfect lines, or performing in complete unison, they need to not worry about looking silly. It's a tough ask for them.
Whilst watching the senior drama perform short devised pieces this week I was again reminded how important it is to commit to what you're doing. One of the pieces fell apart at the end of the scene, a common occurrence when devising and improvising. One of the reasons it fell apart was because the group stopped committing to the performance. As they lost focus and character, they lost the scene. It's something that happens time and time again, and a lesson we repeatedly learn, whether you're a professional performer or a young aspiring one.

Who is this guy?!
Quite new to the Crossfitting world, I wanted something to track my progress and share my ideas about a healthy life and especially healthy and fun exercise. I first noticed Crossfit at the beginning of 2009, but started to become active in 2010.
In the past I tried various options of fitness, but never stuck with it. I found it far too boring and couldn't find it in myself to stick with it. I did most of the training at home and started training on a regular bases at the end of 09.
When I found a crossfit gym nearby I joined it asap and here am I now, tracking my overall progress and sharing idea's.
I hope you readers enjoy my blog and please let me know how your training is working out for you in the comments!
Happy reading and working out!

Dona Lita will not be allowed to die at home. She sits at the head of the dining room table, surrounded by a doctor and her two daughters: The doctor is careful not to mention death, leukemia or needles. He guarantees that the hospital will offer her more comfort. Yes, comfort and structure, the daughters chant after the doctor.
Dona Lita is attuned to the gradation in her children's voice—to the moment their speech turns upbeat, as if a higher pitch could hide a lie.
The net of care and devotion woven around Dona Lita is no longer comforting. It is in fact, like wearing a straightjacket. As she sits at the head of the dining room table she smiles at the doctor's lies—and realizes her daughters will interpret that smile as consent.
Nora's bed looks like something out of a hotel room: sheets taut, not a wrinkle to be seen. Had she not known Nora so well, Dona Lita would have thought Nora never slept here. Her oldest daughter truly believes that something miraculous will happen, that this disease can still be beaten. She walks over to the bedside table and picks up the round glass dome covering a white, seven-day candle burning on top of a saucer: a tiny flame, blue, like Dona Lita's veins, dances in the daylight. She leans over the flame, blows out the candle and gently places the dome over it. A pale gray smoke fogs the glass.
Her youngest is arriving from the United States tonight. Cátia, who is tiny and flat-chested and could pass for fifteen years old, has married a tall pale man, who smiles wide in photographs, probably due to his big strong teeth. Dona Lita has never met him and as she cracks open the last egg into the batter for her daughter's favorite cake, she realizes that she will never meet this big man who has whisked Cátia away from her family. She picks up the plastic spatula sitting on top of the counter and stirs the eggs into the brown powder. As she stirs, she is faced with this thought: how dare she, how dare she be happy away from us, away from me. Cátia, the adventurous daughter, the daughter Dona Lita could count on to always make her laugh. Dona Lita can't help it; the thought keeps churning in her mind: how dare she…
He is young and balding, with thick lips that are much too sensuous for a priest and when he reaches the terrace, he pulls up a plastic fold-up chair and sits next to Dona Lita's loveseat. It is just the two of them, but Dona Lita knows Nora is somewhere in the apartment, waiting. The loveseat and its faded green leather do not match the chairs in the balcony, but it has been moved from the living room because the terrace has become her favorite place in the apartment. She gazes out the window at the empty lot across the street. The wind blows and the coconut leaves bow down in unison. Shirtless boys kick a soccer ball, a pair of flip-flops marks the goal line.
The priest clears his throat and says her name. Senhora, he tries again, his voice trailing off. How long until he gives up on her, an old sheep who has strayed from the flock for far too long? Her arms are crossed. The rosary Nora has given her is carelessly strewn on her lap. She is enjoying this game and wants to see how long he will sit there, watching her as she in turn, watches the children below. Later, at the dining room table, Nora scowls. Dona Lita cannot help it: she grins. And slurps her soup.
The nurse Dona Lita likes is not working today. She presses her head into the pillow and hopes that the woman with the narrow shoulders ripping open a packet of disposable needles and tying a thick rubber band around her already bruised arm, knows what she's doing. Cátia sits on the only empty chair in the room, leafing through a three-week old magazine. The nurse has a kind smile and deep bags under her eyes. She asks how Dona Lita is doing and presses the crook of Dona Lita's right arm with her fingertips, tracing the veins. Dona Lita watches her expression and knows what the nurse is going to say before she says it: These are tiny, tiny veins. But then she tells Dona Lita not to worry, that she has done this a million times: you won't feel a thing. Cátia immediately tosses the magazine on the chair and walks over to the left side of the bed. The needle pricks Dona Lita's skin over and over. She shuts her eyes and squeezes her daughter's hand, breathing in that familiar smell— of air conditioners and disinfectant.
She sits on the terrace and surveys the apartment: a large living room, an abundance of sunlight, plenty of plants. Her eyes rest on the framed reproduction of the Grand Odalisque, a souvenir her ex-husband had bought when they had gone to the Louvre. Recently, each time she looks at the painting, this is what she remembers: Standing alone and naked in front of a hotel mirror, his leather belt around her bare waist. Loosely tying dozens of silk scarfs to the belt. The desire in his eyes, as he opened the door and watched her twirl in the new skirt. His voice in her ear: Salome, Salome, Salome!
Yes, they had loved each other then. And now that she is sick, he has been calling every week, asking the girls if he can visit her. Why now, after all these years? She has not yet decided if she wants to see him. Why put him through the agony of asking for absolution from a dying woman who isn't sure she can forgive?
Dona Lita's bedroom is open. Cátia has her back to the door and faces the window. But before Dona Lita can walk over to her youngest daughter, Nora grabs her hand and pulls her gently toward the bed and away from the window. She says: Mom. Look mom, come look at what we packed for the hospital. And she directs Dona Lita towards the small suitcase lying on the bed. The repetition of the word mom does not go unnoticed and Dona Lita understands that it's a warning for Cátia: pull yourself together and do not cry in front of our mother.
Nora lingers on each item: this brush or this comb? A mystery novel or Gone With the Wind? Will she need the sleeping mask? Cátia finally turns around and walks over to the bed. Her eyes are clear. She does not look at Dona Lita.

It takes a lot of skill and dedication to become a master chef, and nobody can make the jump from being an apprentice to becoming skilled in the kitchen without making a few (or a few hundred) mistakes along the way. We've compiled a short list of the 21 most common mistakes people make in the kitchen, so let's see which made the cut:
If you're planning on cooking meat, you need to find the right meat, prepare it with the right ingredients, cook it nicely, and then chop it up and serve it when it's done. The main issue that people come across here is that they chop it up the moment they pull it from the oven, grill, stove, whatever. This is bad since all the juices that you've sealed in while you were cooking the meat will just pour out and go to waste.
Why? Imagine that your steak is a large bundle of straws, and each straw is filled with liquid – these are the muscle fibers of the meat. As you cook the meat, the straws become narrower and put pressure on the liquid that is found inside the meat. This liquid ends up in the meat itself, and if you cut it open immediately, you lose much of the juices that we all love so much.
Every steak loses around 12 percent of its weight in the cooking process. If you cut it open too soon, you lose an additional nine percent. That's a lot of percentages.

Home is wherever my bunch of crazies are ....
This blog is a little more personal and close to my heart because Cori and Ayden are an extension of my heart! Some of the best moments of my life have been shared with these two crazies!
Cori and I are best friends, soul mates and call each other wifey. Why? Because we can. We are the MurrayCain family and trust me when I say, WE WILL ROCK IT LIKE A MURRAYCAIN! This happens to be one of my most favorite sessions with Ayden and Cori to date. Because of our friendship I have grown to be a better photographer with each shoot. You can see in these photos what happens when you are completely comfortable with your photographer. You can see both their personalities in each photo!
Most people focus too much on what the photographer is capturing and are worried about posing and if the image is just like all your favorite Pinterest ideas you have pinned for the last month. One thing you need to remember is this: You hired a PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER and you must TRUST their work. Forget they are even there and enjoy the moment. Have fun and with a little guidance from the professional you will have better photos!
Lifestyle sessions are fun and energetic and those images need to tell your story without captions. They should make you laugh, be in awe, smile, cry and/or just bring you happiness and joy. Those moments captured are going to be treasured for a lifetime and will be shared with so many people. The stories, the laughs, the moment ... everything in life is worth remembering.
Cori & Ayden, thank you for allowing me to share so many moments with you both. Leah and I wouldn't know what to do without the both of you. We love you to the moon and back. <3

Four in five NHS trusts in England and Wales say patients are suffering "unacceptable" delays for drugs to treat life-threatening conditions including cancer, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia and organ failure.
A survey of 60 NHS authorities found that the shortage was doing patients "serious harm", with some having to be admitted to hospital for emergency treatment after they were unable to get their medicines.
Pharmaceutical companies began rationing drugs to the NHS four years ago after British wholesalers and pharmacies started selling them abroad to take advantage of favourable exchange rates.
But NHS leaders and politicians said that the restrictions had gone too far and urged ministers to intervene and force suppliers to put the interests of British patients first.
Prof John Parkes, the chief executive of NHS Milton Keynes and Northamptonshire, said: "The current restriction in supply imposed by drug companies is harming the public and must be addressed urgently."
The scale of drug shortages for NHS patients was detailed in responses to Freedom of Information requests to 60 primary care trusts and health authorities by Huw Irranca-Davies, the Labour MP for Ogmore. He found that up to 70 common drugs were unavailable in some areas, with patients facing delays of up to six months for the medication.
Earlier this year, a group of MPs on the all-party pharmacy group blamed shortages on pharmacists and wholesalers trying to make extra profits selling drugs to Europe, where they can get a better price than in Britain.
Companies imposed rationing to stop this sale of drugs abroad, but NHS leaders and pharmacies say the regime has backfired and has made the shortages much worse.
Andrew McCoig, the chief executive of the NHS pharmaceutical committee for Merton, Sutton and Wandsworth in south London, said shortages were "out of hand and nearing catastrophe" in his area.
"The manufacturers must bear the majority of responsibility for the current crisis we're all experiencing," he said. "They will not explain their imposed quota system and they will not discuss the issue directly." He said it was "untenable and ultimately disastrous" for patients.
In Cornwall, patients had to be given specialist advice after pharmacies ran out of a drug for Parkinson's, and in Devon a shortage of drugs to treat stroke patients led pharmacists to warn that "the consequences could be further hospital admissions or even fatalities".
In Hampshire, patients with schizophrenia were forced to switch drugs after their medicine was unavailable for six months, while the Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield group of NHS trusts handed over reports from pharmacists that "serious harm" had been caused to patients. Calderdale and Kirklees local pharmaceutical committee said: "Before the introduction of manufacturers' quotas, the market for medicines worked effectively. No longer can patients be assured that if they walk into a pharmacy their medication will be available immediately or within an acceptable timescale."
In Essex, one health authority said the shortages had caused such significant deterioration in patients' conditions that they had been admitted to hospital, increasing the burden on the NHS.
NHS leaders said the problems were being exacerbated by the Coalition's health reforms, which will mean more patients are treated by GPs rather than in hospitals. Dr Mike Prentice, the medical director of NHS South of Tyne and Wear, suggested this would increase pressure on pharmacies. Mr Irranca-Davies urged the Government to introduce a public service obligation for drug manufacturers to force them to prioritise British patients.
"We are talking about drugs for life-threatening illnesses, like cancer, coronary care, and diabetes," he said. "My message to the Government is they need to stop taking a back seat on this issue. If nothing is done, it will get much worse."
The Department of Health said it was considering an investigation to determine the scale of the problem. A spokesman said it was up to drug companies to make sure quotas were set fairly.
He said the Government had an emergency reserve of essential medicines. "We will take any action necessary in the event of disruption to supply and distribution of medicines that causes serious risk to patients." The pharmaceutical industry denied that quotas were to blame for shortages. Stephen Whitehead, the chief executive of the Association of British Pharmaceutical Industries, said quotas were a "legitimate means of ensuring that UK patients receive the medicines they need".
He said that without the quotas there would be an even greater shortage of drugs. "Quotas are a sticking plaster, not a cure, but in the current situation, figures relating to patient harm could be far worse without them," he said.
"If all the medicines manufacturers provided went to UK pharmacists, they would have in excess of what they need, but while these medicines continue to flow out of the UK these problems will persist, and make no mistake, patients will be affected."

Perseverance and Patience Will Produce Good Work.
Have you ever seen a puppet show? The performance of puppet is a beautiful artistic and cultural heritage of Indonesia and must be preserved. From a puppet show, we can appreciate a variety of arts, such as visual art, motion art, sound art, musical art and literary arts. The making of wayang through the making process is quite complicated and long. In the photo seen someone was carving cowhide, to be a puppet. It takes perseverance and patience when carving, in order to produce good and quality wayang puppets.

Well maybe you'd not be surprised to discover that you have virtually none, privacy that is. Our online data is becoming widespread and slowly we are losing control of it. Many software programs offer to protect our anonymity by protecting our PCs, which is fine except that's probably the safest place for it to be.
The NSA and any other Intelligence agency wouldn't bother with seizing your PC to steal your data, they don't need to. While you think you have privacy surfing, your every move is logged at your ISP. Your data is all there on their backup logs, the ISP logs contain everything you do online, and while the NSA or similar would need a search warrant to grab your PC data - they generally don't need that to grab your ISP back up logs. Nor do the police in the USA, forget your rights under the 4th - currently police can read your emails and check your web browsing without a warrant - as long as they go to your ISP.
Just like a criminal, in the good old days he might break into your house to steal from you, nowadays he can it remotely, break into your ISP and he can steal your information and empty your bank accounts. It's also quite a lot safer being a cyber criminal - less problems with police, dogs and generally getting caught.
Protect your Privacy Surfing
But it's worse your data can be grabbed anywhere, on the wire, through a wireless connection, intercepted, monitored and snooped on. If you have some decent resources you can even install nodes to listen and monitor everything automatically. Happened many times in the US and being planned legitimately in Europe.
We often make it worse though, our life is online, our financial record are online, combine it with all your emails, web browsing, facebook updates and we don't have a lot of privacy left.
There are options though whilst our governments try and think about protecting our privacy (yeah right), you can use technology to protect yourself. Identity cloaker will protect your surfing and make your browsing logs unreadable by encrypting them to a level that even our Govts cannot decipher.
Better still you can select from a vast network of private, secure servers across the planet to protect your anonymity from the web sites you visit. There are currently anonymous proxies to protect your surfing privacy in Germany, Holland, Sweden, Germany, Canada, UK, USA and many more coming soon.

Awareness of the Presence of God
If someone asked you to give them another word for 'God', you could use the word 'Presence', for that is what God is. When Moses asked Yahweh his name, Yahweh replied, "I am who am" and this means 'I am present'. God is really saying,
'I shall be there for you.' God is intimately present to everything, and especially to us.
Jesus's name is Emmanuel, which means 'God is with us'. Matthew's Gospel ends with the marvellous statement:
"Know that I am with you always; yes, to the end of time."

The "Chianti Geografico Method" makes all the difference; it delivers quality. In a province that boasts six DOCG areas and represents the history of wine in Italy, the "Chianti Geografico Method" allows us to give maximum expression to the distinctive features of each area, rather than blending these into a single anonymous style. We know that the quality our customers demand is best delivered through wines of unique character. For this reason, our work in the vineyards is increasingly site specific. We have perfected the "Chianti Geografico Method" over nearly 50 years, thanks to the close links between our members and their land. We recognize that each vineyard has a unique geology and microclimate which together defines its "terroir". Understanding this combination is a fundamental principle of cultivation, since it determines which vines are best suited to each site and how those vines should be planted and tended. This process delivers as much distinctive flavor as is possible to create from the rapport between vine and location. Today, as in the past, we oversee the critical features of the production cycle, in collaboration with each grower member, so that he may share ownership of the end product. The "Chianti Geografico Method" can be summarised into four inputs, each with a specific objective: 1. Evaluation of the vineyard's characteristics by geologist and agronomist prior to selecting vine varieties best suited to each location 2. Providing assistance to the grower in selecting the best vineyard management techniques for each site 3. Providing an efficient winery operation 4. Undertaking bottling and managing sales. Our "method" allows us to act cohesively in each phase, emphasizing the personality of each grower and his property. In this way our grower members can achieve their principal objective: to produce and bottle wines only where the grapes are grown. The Agricoltori del Geografico company is dynamic and youthful and comprises skilled and enthusiastic staff managed and supported by colleague with considerable experience. Well-trained and carefully-managed human resources are essential for our future growth, and in order to strengthen our project and message, we hold regular refresher courses for our employees. Since 1995, in memory of Pietro Cinughi De' Pazzi (our former president and co-founder), we have awarded an annual scholarship to a wine-technician studying at the Technical School of Agriculture in Siena, to fund the undertaking of a period of training in a winery abroad. Geografico is composed of people working as a family, and it is this that makes our operation successful. Over the years the results of ongoing research have to improvement in the quality of our grapes, providing ample reward to our growers for their labours. Each crop is analysed and evaluated in our own laboratories. Each consignment submitted is assessed and evaluated, and rewarded accordingly. The thorough work undertaken by our agronomist has enabled our growers to deliver increasingly outstanding grape harvests to the winery. Read less

For centuries, countries around the world have used essential oils to promote health and wellbeing. Even baby Jesus was anointed with essential oils frankincense and myrrh upon His birth. These oils are thought to provide relief from a variety of ailments – both psychological and physical. Today, we are focusing on some of the psychological benefits.
How do essential oils work?
Different smells trigger different emotions. When a person inhales through the nose, odor molecules travel to the brain through a variety of receptor sites, one of which is the limbic system. Otherwise known as the "emotional brain," the limbic system includes complex brain nerves and networks that controls basic emotions (like pleasure) and drives (like sex.) The limbic system evaluates and attributes incoming sensory stimuli to an emotional response, ranging from pain to pleasure.
From where are essential oils derived?
Essential oils are extracted from flowers, leaves, bark or plant roots. The oils are deemed "essential" because they are thought to represent the essence of the plant.
Essential oil treatment for various psychological issues:
For anxiety:
Lavender: improves sleep, restlessness, irritability, nervous stomach
Vetiver: decreases jitteriness, hypersensitivity, shock
Rose Oil: relieves anxiety, depression, panic attacks & grieving
For depression:
Bergamot: stimulates energy, creates feelings of joy & freshness
Ylang ylang: boosts confidence & mood, promotes self-love
Roman chamomile: helps fight stress & promote relaxation
For trouble focusing, including ADHD & ADD:
Mandarin: quiets brain *especially when combined with lavender
Frankincense: supports the immune system
*Lavender, Chamomile and Ylang ylang also aid in focus
For fatigue and exhaustion:
Basil: promotes concentration, stimulates mind, sharpens senses, fights depression
Eucalyptus: creates focus, stimulates mind (also reduces rheumatic pain)
Geranium: balances emotions, *uplifting scent for anxiety and depression
Peppermint: relieves tiredness & mental fatigue
Rosemary: clears the head, aids memory, stimulates brain
How can essential oils be applied?
Aromatically (as through a diffuser)
Topically (on areas like the neck, forehead, temples, chest, abdomen, arms, legs, bottom of feet)
Internally (ingested)
Make sure to follow application instructions for each particular oil, as some are too potent to be ingested or applied topically. If applying an essential oil topically, it is suggested to dilute the oil in a carrier oil, like Fractioned Coconut oil, using the following ratio: one drop of essential oil to three drops of carrier oil.
As with all products, its best to use essential oils in their purest forms, without chemicals or additives.
Have you tried essential oils? As with any remedies suggested in this magazine, have you seen benefits? If so, I encourage you to share your story below - as well as the essential oil brands that you prefer!

text: Customers will often use phrases that they understand, and, which they assume everyone else does as well. It happens once in awhile It doesn't run like it use to. It doesn't sound/feel right. It works ok most of the time. It's slipping. I'm not getting the same mileage as before. These are vague statements which may mean something to you, but don't really give much of a starting point for the tech to look at.The more specific you are with the problem, the better service you're going to receive. Imagine asking someone to come over to your house, but you don't give them your address or how to get there. Chances are they will never find your house. unless they make the effort to seek additional information. To fill in the blank spaces. When you drop off your vehicle for repair, you need to fill in the spaces the best you can. Here are just a few examples of stating the problem a little better. I notice the problem when I first start the car. The problem happens when I've driven for 5 miles. Before the car shifted smoothly, but now it jerks going into gear. My fuel economy use to be 20mpg but now it's 15mpg. The noise gets louder with speed. When it makes the 2nd shift the engine revs up real high. When it's cold, it won't shift into the highest gear. You don't need to be a mechanic to notice things. You just need to observe and take notes. Making notes and handing them to the service advisor will go a long way to saving you money and time.

Never too old to start a modelling career when it refers to building miniatures!
An age old and useful tool for communicating 3D space, building models is almost as rewarding as building the real thing. Because the costs are minimized, it is easy to make changes until you've got what you want. This step helps avoid massive errors in judgement, by being able to place yourself in the design, a challenge from a plan drawing.
Head Gardener would be happy to model custom designs until they are ready to become full scale. We can take your design from blocking out, to finished styling, and you can have confidence you know what you're working with, every step of the way.

Sigourney visits spaQ Gold Coast
Thanks for the great write up Sigourney. Always a pleasure to host you and I know Sarah and Jenny were thrilled to look after you!
"Spread across the first floor of the fun and lively QT Gold Coast, spaQ is a welcome respite from the frenetic pace of Surfer's Paradise. In fact, the whole hotel manages to respectfully reflect the best of the nearby famous strip (the beaches and the chilled-out vibe) while cosseting guests from the worst (the nightclubs and the tourist traps). And spaQ is like a cool oasis of comfort from all of it.
Stepping out of the lifts on level one, I quickly spot the neon signs of spaQ – beckoning me to a bright, welcoming space furnished with pops of colour and beachy cane decor. I've just checked into the hotel for two nights with the family and am already slipping into holiday mode. When I left Damien on kid-duty poolside (on a big white daybed, mind you) no one even complained. Cue: backing away slowly and bolting for the lift.
Now, as Sarah, the Spa Manager, welcomes me calmly and shows me to my locker, I start to feel the stress from the hectic flight slip from my shoulders. I don a white satin robe (not unlike the ones a boxer wears to a championship fight) and a pair of cushy rubber slippers and pad out to meet Jenny, my massage therapist.
On the way to my treatment room (there are 6 at spaQ – and external non-QT guests are welcome to book treatments) I peek my head into the Hamaam. Arrive ahead of your treatment time and bring your swimmers if you want to spend some time there. There's also a row of manicure stations overlooking the pool, a lovely array of Uspa products alongside Issada mineral makeup and trendy Louvelle shower caps.
As a firm-massage aficionado, I'm ashamed to say that in the past I've been guilty of judging a masseuse by their stature. One look at Jenny - a pretty and petite brunette - may suggest her technique might be more light nudge than heavy kneed, but minutes in to my thermal massage, I could tell I was in for something special. She explained that the U-Spa oil she was using contains a blend that would help relieve the tension from my muscles while relaxing my mind. At least I think that's what she said, because by that stage my mind was hovering somewhere between the eleventh floor of the hotel and a sublime Alpha-state. The hour whipped by with astronomic speed and I almost cried when she said softly, "How are you feeling Sigourney?" – which is massage-therapist-speak for, "Lady, your moment of bliss is O-V-E-R – but allow me to show you to the Relaxation Room."
The Relaxation Room was very nice and almost enough of a compensation. I snugged down into a smooshy sheepskin covered Acapulco chair and sipped my Serenity Mayde Tea. 'You could definitely fall asleep here,' I think as I watch some seriously cute kids playing happily in the pool below…. 'Hey… they look kind of familiar.'

"Let the sky be peaceful, and Ukraine clean", under this moto in 25 April 2015, the campaign "Let's Make Ukraine Clean" starts in all regions of Ukraine.
This year, as three years before, The Youth NGO "Modern Format" cleaned the territory of an abandoned kindergarten №58 (Kroshnia).
"Starting with 2013 within the nationwide campaign "Let's Make Ukraine Clean" our organization annually conducts cleaning of this territory. Last year to the cleaning of the territory of the kindergarten joined more than 300 volunteers. Unfortunately, cleaning does not solve the problem and this territory is still dangerous for teenagers' lives and health, who despite on the accident rate of the building, often spend time running and jumping on this territory. It is this area where alcohol and drugs addicted people meet. Nowadays, this territory is the nucleus of the deviant behavior development (criminals, drug addiction, alcoholism, immoral behavior)"- tells the head of NGO "Modern Format" Zhanna Solovyova.
The Youth NGO "Modern Format" and Zhytomyr Community Foundation are thankful to each of the participants (more than 300 people!).
This year, in the cleaning of this territory participated:
- employees and volunteers Zhytomyr Community Foundation and NGO "Modern Format",
- employees of municipal services ( Housing and Communal Services management of Zhytomyr City Council, "Zelenbud", Housing and Communal Services №4, etc.),
- specialists of education department of the Zhytomyr City Council,
- teachers and employees of the school №16,
- educators of the kindergartens,
- employees of Coca-Cola company,
- employees of Telecontact company,
- employees of La-Moda company,
- lectors and students from Social Psychology Faculty of Zhytomyr State University named after Ivan Franko,
- a few residents of nearby houses and others.
In cooperation with us on location since morning worked Sergey Suhomlyn – Deputy Mayor of Zhytomyr. Later started participation Alexander Bochkovsky – Deputy Mayor of Zhytomyr, Valentine Arendarchuk – Head of the Department of Education of Zhytomyr City Council. About 12:00 acting Zhytomyr Mayor – Lubov Tsymbaliuk and heads of municipal services joined us.
Last year, this object finally transferred to the municipal property. Due to this case, we have great hopes for reconstruction of this building be the government. Moreover, we believe, that the kindergarten №58 will be active soon. 🙂

Pope Benedict XVI's recent visit spotlights changing role of the Catholic Church in French and European society. Benedict's visit to France last month marked the 150th anniversary of the year a 14-year-old French girl, Bernadette Soubirous, reported seeing visions of the Virgin Mary in a Lourdes grotto. Lourdes has since been a popular pilgrimage site for Catholics in France and around the world....

The full article is at www.telegraph.co.uk/.../Foster-parent-ban-no-place-in-the-law-for- Christianity-High-Court-rules.html
Abbreviated extracts follow:
There is no place in British law for Christian beliefs, despite this country's long history of religious observance and the traditions of the established Church, two High Court judges said . . . Lord Justice Munby and Mr Justice Beatson made the remarks when ruling on the case of a Christian couple who were told that they could not be foster carers because of their view that homosexuality is wrong . . .
The judges underlined that, in the case of fostering arrangements at least, the right of homosexuals to equality "should take precedence" over the right of Christians to manifest their beliefs and moral values. In a ruling with potentially wide-ranging implications, the judges said Britain was a "largely secular", multi-cultural country in which the laws of the realm "do not include Christianity" . . .
The ruling in the case of Owen and Eunice Johns . . . is the latest in a series of judgments in which Christians have been defeated in the courts for breaching equality laws by manifesting their beliefs on homosexuality. In their ruling, the judges complained that it was not yet "well understood" that British society was largely secular and that the law has no place for Christianity. "Although historically this country is part of the Christian West, and although it has an established church which is Christian, there have been enormous changes in the social and religious life of our country over the last century." . . .
The Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, the former bishop of Rochester, described the judgment as "absurd". . . . "To say that this is a secular country is certainly wrong . . . However, what really worries me about this spate of judgments is that they leave no room for the conscience of believers of whatever kind. This will exclude Christians, Muslims and Orthodox Jews from whole swaths of public life, including adoption and fostering."
Speaking personally, Canon Dr Chris Sugden, the executive secretary of Anglican Mainstream, said the judges were wrong to say religion was a matter of private individuals' beliefs: The judges "are treating religion like Richard Dawkins does, as if Christian faith was on a parallel with Melanesian frog worship." . . .
What is being done in the U.S. on such matters?
Views: 448
Are you so sure?
Mustn't upset the Melanesians who know that their frogs are true---truly there.
It's the talking snake and the talking Balaam's donkey of the bible that's silly.
I doubt it, but perhaps "Anglican Mainstream" has a web site where we can ask?
Google came up with this for
Anglican Mainstream.
"5 May 2011 ... Provides news, resources and contact details aiming to be a resource for those seeking to understand the issues in human sexuality and ..."
Does anyone have the time to find whether there is a Q. and A. spot somewhere on the site so that we can ask him why he thinks christianity might have a different basis from tree frog worship in Melanesia? After all, both faiths are merely products of the human brain.
The judges "are treating religion like Richard Dawkins does, as if Christian faith was on a parallel with Melanesian frog worship." . . .
And it is not because...?
That is precisely how ALL religion SHOULD be treated before the law. The notion widely promoted by Christians, especially the more conservative and fundamental denominations, that their religion is somehow an exception to the rules that would be applied to all other religions, presumes that Christianity should be considered differently because it somehow is different. That is a form of exceptionalism that I find highly repugnant, and a form of moral hypocrisy that undermines their claims to be a civilizing force in society. Especially when they use this exceptionalism to advance bigotry dressed up as religious doctrine - which is precisely what they are doing in the case of their stance on homosexuality and civil rights for homosexuals.
There is so much wrong with religion that it is hard to know where to begin, but this is a better starting point than most...
Holy crap! It's logically sound! I'm a theist! I'm a theist!

The event will be attended by nursing staff working in all areas of London and is hosted by Jennette Arnold, a former nurse who is now London Assembly Member for North East London.
The event will involve a special commemoration of some of RCN London's longest serving members. A presentation will be made to Sheila Franks, a nurse living in West London who first joined the RCN in 1946.
Speakers include Baroness Floella Benjamin, RCN Chief Executive Janet Davies, and RCN President and London member Cecilia Anim, who was this month re-elected for a second term.
Founded during the first world war as a women's group, the RCN was the first organisation to secure professional status for nursing.
It fought hard to give women workers the rights they deserved and the organisation soon became a pioneer of training and education.
Today the RCN has members working at all levels and in all specialities of nursing and the College's London membership this year passed 59,000 for the first time.
This rich history will be marked at City Hall with an exhibition of nursing history hosted by the RCN Library and Archive Service.
Baroness Floella Benjamin said: "Since 1916 the role of nursing has evolved and developed and nurses are now central to all types of health care. The RCN has been at the heart that evolution.
"We must cherish and celebrate the nursing community who do so much to care for London's patients in every imaginable setting all across the city and beyond.
"I am so happy to be able to join the RCN London members at City Hall to remember the past hundred years of nursing and look forward to the next hundred."
Jennette Arnold OBE AM said: "It is an honour to host this special evening to mark the RCN's centenary year. As a former nurse, I truly understand the value of the support, training and education offered by this fantastic organisation.
"Not only does the RCN have a proud history of advocating women health workers' rights, it continues to provide a strong voice today for all nurses. There are battles ahead, not least with proposals to scrap bursaries and the uncertainty that Brexit brings for our capacity to address nursing shortages. But I have no doubt that the RCN will continue to be the loudest advocate for our most valuable profession and the patients we treat."
RCN London Regional Director Bernell Bussue said: "RCN London are proud to be hosting an event today which not only reflects the vibrant diversity of nursing in the city in 2016 but also our rich and varied history. London nurses are drawn from all communities at home and abroad and, though the profession today faces many challenges, it remains an engaging and rewarding career. I want to offer my thanks, on behalf of the RCN, to all the nursing staff working day in day out, all year round, to provide the best possible care to London's patients."

Foreclosed homes set for auction; many start at less than $100k
More than 350 foreclosed houses will be auctioned off by lenders next week in Modesto, Merced and Stockton. The Real Estate Disposition Corp. will conduct the auctions, and it will charge winning bidders a 5 percent "buyer's premium" on top of the purchase price.
Bids for most of the homes will start under $100,000, and more than 30 houses will require starting bids of only $1,000. But that doesn't mean property will be sold that low.
The sellers have established secret reserve prices for the homes, and they won't sell them for less. So if the seller's reserve price is $50,000 but the highest bid is $45,000, the home will not be sold.
For a complete list of auction rules, restrictions and bidder requirements, read the "terms and conditions" toward the back of auction catalog or on the company's Web site at www.USHomeAuction.com.
About 100 Stanislaus County homes will be auctioned Tuesday, starting at 6:30 p.m. at the DoubleTree Hotel, 1150 Ninth St., Modesto.
About 70 Merced County homes will be auctioned Wednesday, starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Merced County Fairgrounds, 900 Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Merced.
About 190 San Joaquin County homes will be auctioned May 3 starting at 9:30 a.m. in the Stockton Arena, 248 W. Fremont St. Registration begins 90 minutes before each auction.
