At Moore Animal Hospital, keeping your best friend happy and healthy for as many years as possible is our mission. We believe that the best way to achieve this goal is through ongoing wellness care and preventative medicine. That's why we've developed such a customized, effective wellness program. We want to do whatever it takes to help your animal friend live a long, happy and healthy life by your side.
The first component of wellness care involves measuring your pet's current health. Once or twice a year, our doctors will examine your companion thoroughly, checking the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and skin to make sure everything looks good. We'll then move on to check your pet from the inside, listening to their heartbeat and lungs to be certain everything is functioning as it should. We'll also discuss such important matters as nutrition and weight control, parasite protection, behavior and anything else we deem to be important in keeping your loved one happy and healthy.
The second component of wellness care is managing your pet's health over time. We'll take a number of preventative measures, such as customized vaccinations, to help keep your companion safe from many of the dangers that he or she will encounter in everyday life. We'll also look for any signs of potential medical problems so that they can be addressed immediately, before they have a chance to develop into something more serious and costly. This will help to extend the number of years your pet can enjoy and improve the quality of those years exponentially.
Last but certainly not least, when we are able to work with your pet on a regular basis, we are able to get to know you both on a more personal level. The better we know and understand your companion's needs, the more precise and effective a health care plan we can develop that will support his or her wellbeing from birth through the senior years.
Don't wait until your pet is sick to bring them in to see us! Make a commitment to ongoing wellness care and give your loved one the gift of a lifetime of good health.

For over 2 decades, The Underground Circus, Western Canada's only full time circus, has been dedicated to providing entertainment for special events. The founding members of The Underground Circus, Peter Boulanger and Ninon Parent, are alumni of Montreal's L'Ecole National du Cirque.
Their creative approach is seen within their performances as well as their custom builds and shows. Eclectic and stunningly beautiful, The Underground Circus has been commissioned to create some of the most extraordinary programs alongside fabricating some VERY impressive props! They have constructed North America's largest marionette; the only one in the world capable of lifting circus acts in its hands, which was debuted at the opening of the Vancouver Convention Centre.
Since creating a custom show for the Samsung Pavilion at the 2010 Winter Olympics, the Underground Circus has been breaking records and 'wowing' audiences. They have performed at the 100th Anniversary of Fluor, both at their Grand Gala in Dallas, Texas and at their Vancouver celebration - simultaneously. For the Calgary Stampede Grandstand Show, they created giant animated sculptures, including the worlds largest eagle sculpture and 2 giant wire frame horses, that were flown 60 feet above the audience!
The Underground Circus rang in the New Year performing for the New Year's Celebration at the New Town Plaza in Hong Kong. They have also performed 13 Cirque shows with Symphony Orchestras across North America, including three with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

An ethereal image. An eight-foot in diameter floating bubble carries a performer within its fragile walls. Conjuring images of soap bubbles, weightless and delicate, all the while inside, turning over and over, exploring the limits of her transparent cage, a beautiful creature floats. Angel? Spirit? Stimulation for the imagination. A unique act to present to your guests as they walk into the ballroom.
The Underground Circus presents Wine Fairies, a unique and creative element for any event! Beautiful costumed aerial performers pour wine for guests while suspended from the ceiling. The interactive acrobats are truly whimsical wine fairies who create a memorable experience for the guests…not to mention the photo opportunities!
FIRE Like a Phoenix, the artist's world is fire, touching, breathing, eating, - an expert in the art of fire manipulation. Beautiful dance combines with the danger of fire as the character of the phoenix performs both classic fire tricks such as fire eating, as well as, some more unique acts as the burning headdress. This performance is a great segue to other entertainment elements. The phoenix emerges from a pyrotechnic display as a giant flower which opens to reveal the performers inside. The phoenix continues with a fire show that includes a flaming headdress and a spectacular fire poi display.
AERIAL SILKS Aerial silks are a product of the new age of circus is an exciting and sensuous act. The beautiful acrobats perform as high as the venue allows using the entire length of the fabric used as the stage. Feats of strength, graceful figures and breath taking tumbles are executed by intertwining body and fabric. The act can be performed as a solo, a duet, or a trio to enhance this already stunning performance.
TRICEAU It looks simple to begin with 3 intertwined metal hoops suspended in the air. The performers begin to twist and contort inside, spinning and swinging, the sense of danger mounts. Strength, flexibility and agility allow these acrobats to manipulate their bodies around the hoops to form graceful shapes and perform awe-inspiring acrobatic skills as they spiral in an elegant aerial dance.
STACK One table, four chairs, one man balancing on top. The act evolves as the chairs are stacked in ever higher and more complicated patterns. The chairs have been designed to let them stack together in a unique way, creating a new twist on a traditional act.
TESSERACT Performed on a unique structure, this award winning act combines highly technical acrobatics with smooth balancing and choreography. Created by Peter Boulanger, this act is performed by two former Cirque du Soleil acrobats, who have showcased their acrobatic talents around the world.
The Moon's Eye is a unique aerial apparatus conceived and built by Peter Boulanger of the Underground Circus, Vancouver's premiere circus arts company. This simple three-foot diameter steel ring has infinite possibilities. It's usually hung on a system that allows it to be raised and lowered in the air. It's vulnerability adds to it's appeal - There is nothing between the performer and the ground except air.
CONTORTION Contortion is an ever popular circus act, inspiring disbelief and shock at the possibilities of human flexibility. The act is available in different themes and costumes. Contortion is an unusual form of physical display that involves the dramatic bending and flexing of the human body…to the amazement of the audience.
SKYLADDER The newest creation by Peter Boulanger, Skyladder is a delicate looking collection of bars and wires, reaching up to 32 feet in length, and hung from up to 40 feet high. The acrobats move up and down the entire length of the structure, using both wires and bars and each other to influence their movement. Skyladder can be performed as a solo structure, or as two separate structures performed simultaneously.
HAND TO HAND Fluid movements, precise balance, unfaltering concentration and stunt action come together to form this hand balancing act. Grace and flexibility counterpoint strength and power as bodies perform an acrobatic, high energy, comedic free for all. Hand Balancing showcases more then special circus skills of superbly conditioned athletics. Always a showstopper and a jaw dropper!
CUBE MANIPULATION The structure is an outline of a cube, 5 feet to a side, made of thin polished aluminum struts. When it's spun, the reflections off the struts create a 3 dimensional light show, hypnotic in it's holographic illusion. There is beauty in this flowing artwork that captures and engages the audience.
GLO JUGGLING DUO Juggling is a very old form of entertainment. This traditional circus skill is adapted to today's audience with the use of glow balls. Rhythmic and hypnotizing, Iain and Melissa weave patterns of glowing balls in the dark, creating a cascade of light.
LIGHT DANCE This high tech display features amazing dancers with illuminant lighting tubes intertwined throughout their bodies creating a unique 3 dimensional light show. The contemporary rhythmic choreography creates a cascade of light that will capture and engage the audience.
One of the newest juggling styles, it was feature on the movie "Labyrinth". Crystal spheres are rolled in hypnotic pattern over the performers hands and body. Contact juggling is a form of object manipulation that focuses on the movement of balls in contact with the body. Juggling techniques include Body Rolling, Palm Spinning and Isolation. This is new updated version of this ancient juggling skill will delight your audience!
MARIONETTE PUPPET The Marionette Puppet is an aluminum, 34-foot structure that "holds" aerial artists including silk acts and other acrobats. This unique structure features a puppeteering team made up of three puppeteers controlling the head, shoulders, feet and elbows, and two riggers handling the hands. The hands are crucial elements, since the circus acts would be lifted by the same rigging that was lifting the hands. The acrobats could be presented as AMAZING moving décor elements or a wondrous after dinner show.
Whether you are looking to include a different and exciting type of talent at your wedding or producing a large and impressive stage show, the Underground Circus will meet and exceed your needs, leaving your guests in awe.

In Kodiak, Alaska, power of attorney is an arrangement in which one person (the principal) gives another (the attorney-in-fact) the capacity to act on the principal's behalf in certain situations, and under certain conditions. Power of attorney might be authorized for any number of reasons, but it is most often set up to allow the attorney-in-fact to make financial and medical decisions on the principal's behalf in the event that the principal becomes incapacitated.
The principal in a power-of-attorney arrangement is the one who decides the scope of the power that the attorney will be able to wield, and the circumstances under which they can wield it. Generally, you can grant the attorney-in-fact as much or as little decision-making power as you'd like. In every case, however, you should only enter a power-of-attorney arrangement with somebody you trust. The nature of the power you should grant depends heavily on the context, and what your wishes are.
For instance, if you have very particular desires for your end-of-life care, but are worried that you won't be able to express your wishes when the time comes, you can grant someone power of attorney in advance, so they'll be able to ensure that your wishes are carried out, if necessary. You should draft an agreement giving the attorney-in-fact power of attorney only in the event that you actually become incapacitated. Presumably, if you are able to make and express your own medical decisions, you'll want to do it yourself.
Generally, you can find forms in Kodiak, Alaska that let you quickly draft a power of attorney document. However, if a large amount of money is at stake, or you wish to grant very particular and limited powers, you should probably consult with a lawyer beforehand.
Types of Power of Attorney Arrangements in Kodiak, Alaska
In Kodiak, Alaska, power of attorney can take three basic forms. They are as follows:
1. Limited power of attorney - this lets the attorney-in-fact exercise limited authority in a single transaction. It is useful, for instance, if someone is buying property in another state, and the deal is nearly complete, but a few documents need to be signed. The buyer could give a resident of that state power of attorney, allowing him or her to complete the transaction on the buyer's behalf. Conveniently, the power automatically terminates when the transaction is complete.
2. Durable power of attorney - this lets an attorney-in-fact make decisions in a certain, defined area of the principal's affairs. Durable power of attorney doesn't automatically disappear, and can last indefinitely, or until the principal revokes it. This can be very useful, because it allows the attorney-in-fact to make essential decisions for the principal, but allows the principal to revoke the power if they regain the capacity to make their own decisions.
3. Springing power of attorney - springing power of attorney is much like durable power of attorney, with one key difference: the power only takes effect upon the happening of a certain event. The principal is free to set whatever conditions they like in this arrangement, no matter how outlandish. Of course, in most cases, the setup is much more practical. A common arrangement allows a close friend or family member to make certain decisions for someone else, but only if that person becomes unable to make them himself.
Can a Kodiak, Alaska Lawyer Help?
While setting up power of attorney in Kodiak, Alaska can be simple, there are some situations in which it will inevitably be convoluted. In such cases, the process will be much easier if you have a reputable attorney to help you along the way.

f A Comparative Study of Clinical Features between Monotypic and Dual Infection Cases with Chikungunya Virus and Dengue Virus in West Bengal, India
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and dengue virus (DENV) are circulating individually in the state of West Bengal, India. However, after 1965 the dual-infection caused by both viruses had not been recorded until 2010. In 2010, an investigation of the febrile cases was carried out to confirm the involvement of both viruses simultaneously. A total of 550 blood samples were tested for the detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody against both CHIKV and DENV. Serology by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method confirmed that 131 (23.8%) and 104 (18.9%) patients had IgM antibody against CHIKV and DENV, respectively, whereas 68 (12.4%) had IgM antibodies against both CHIKV and DENV. Fever, joint pain, rashes, headache, myalgia, and nausea/vomiting are the common features in the case of both monotypic and dual-infection. Severe arthralgia and swelling of joints were common only in CHIKV-positive cases and abdominal pain was mainly associated with DENV infection. Diarrhea was reported only by the dual-infected patients (16.2%).

The Distribution of the U.S. Capital Stock Between Residential and Industrial Uses
The purpose of the present study is to measure the extent to which an increase in the total capital stock induces an increase in the stock of residential capital, i.e., to measure the marginal propensity of additional capital to be absorbed in residential capital. A knowledge of this propensity is important to evaluate the national return on additional saving and to understand the impact that an increased capital stock could have on labor productivity and on the composition of national output. The present paper provides both a theoretical and an empirical examination of this question.

Clavamox is the brand name of a prescription antibiotic for dogs and cats manufactured by veterinary pharmaceutical company Zoetis. It contains the penicillin-class antibiotic amoxicillin plus clavulanate potassium. This second ingredient, also called clavulanic acid, is combined with penicillin-class antibiotics to help overcome drug-resistant bacteria.
As an antibiotic, Clavamox is prescribed to treat and prevent certain bacterial infections. It is effective against many types of bacteria. Clavamox doesn't work against viral, fungal or parasitic infections. This drug is often used for superficial infections, such as abscesses, cellulitis, pyoderma and infected wounds. It's also commonly used for periodontal, upper respiratory tract and bladder and other urinary tract infections.
Clavamox is administered orally in tablet or liquid suspension form. The typical canine dosage is 6.25mg per pound of body weight twice daily for one week; always use exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian. Symptoms sometimes clear before the infection is fully eliminated, so never stop use early just because your dog seems better. Store the container tightly sealed at room temperature, out of reach of children and pets. Clavamox isn't for use in pets allergic to any penicillin-class antibiotic.

In time for winter olympics is my first ski experience. A double celebration: MJ's 32nd birthday and me finally having the courage to try Norwegian's #1 sport.
Kongsberg is our point of destination since its only 1hr and 40 mins from Oslo. They have they're own ski center. Peaceful and isolated. True enough, we had the car and cabin unlocked during our stay yet everything was untouched the whole time.
We booked our cabin thru AirBnb.
It was the best one in Kongsberg! Great host, cozy chalet and has a soothing mood that I needed.
We went for cross-country ski (langrennsløyper) because we will never try high slopes! Maybe before but now, never!! Hahaha!
I wanted to write our whole ski experience but its a combination of awfulness, embarrassing and of course fun. Moments that I want to keep in ourselves and store up in our archives of memories.
Shout to my MJ for being very patient in taking all my pictures, projecting with me , for sponsoring my new cam, for granting my wish on your birthday and most especially for being in my life even if the world tried and trying so hard to put us apart 💕

Nepal Death Toll Continues to Rise
18 dead on Everest
9:00 a.m. April 28
Nepal Prime Minister Sushil Koirala said Tuesday that the number of people killed in the April 25 earthquake exceeds 5,000 and could amount to 10,000 or more as recovery efforts continue, Al Jazeera reports. Roughly 8 million people in Nepal—about a quarter of the country's entire population—have been affected.
The cost to rebuild Nepal could exceed $10 billion and take several years, Nepal's Finance Minister Ram Mahat told Bloomberg.
4:35 p.m. April 27
Mountain villages in Nepal stricken by the quake are struggling in the aftermath and haven't received aid or food, the New York Times reports.
"Whatever relief each of us felt at being off the mountain was quickly replaced with sadness and awe at the destructive power on evidence all around us." RMI guide Dave Hahn, who has summited Everest 15 times, and his team were rescued from Camp 1 by helicopter on the morning of April 27 and brought down to Base Camp. Hahn recounted the day's events in a post on RMI's website.
2:50 p.m. April 27
Numerous reports say the death toll in Nepal has surpassed 4,000 and is expected to continue rising significantly as recovery efforts continue.
The United Nations said Monday that it is pledging $15 million from its emergency response fund to provide water, shelter, and medical supplies to earthquake survivors in Nepal. An estimated 8 million people have been affected, UN spokesman Farhan Haq said Monday.
UNESCO says in the coming days it will assess the damage to World Heritage Sites, which have been hit hard in Nepal, especially those in Kathmandu Valley. "In particular, Durbar Squares of Patan, Hanuman Dhoka (Kathmandu) and Bhaktapur are almost fully destroyed," according to an April 27 UNESCO statement.

Sec. of State John Kerry announced that the U.S. will provide $9 million in aid to the Nepal relief efforts—in addition to $1 million previously pledged by the government. "Tragedies of this magnitude really underscore that in today's world next-door is really everywhere," Kerry said on Monday.

National Geographic has a comprehensive first-hand account of the devestation on the mountain.
"Everything was trauma," said Ben Ayers, an American living in Nepal who is executive director of the Dzi Foundation and happened to be in Lukla at the time of the earthquake. "There were lots of broken bones, broken backs, broken pelvises…" Four patients appeared to have died en route to Kathmandu, Ayers said.
"A couple were dead when we took them out of the helicopter," he said, noting that the remains of victims who perished at Base Camp had been collected in Pheriche and not prioritized for further transport while so many others remained in critical need.
6:30 p.m. April 26
Outside senior editor Grayson Schaffer has filed his latest report.
In the coming days, the weather is expected to start clear enough to allow aviation in the mornings and deteriorate into snowfall by the afternoon. EverestWeather.com forecaster Michael Fagin continues to predict up to ten inches of snow on Tuesday, though some models call for up to 20 inches. The ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Civil Aviation has already indicated that the Everest climbing season is finished. This year, that decision will spark little controversy.

The Guardian is reporting that an aftershock shook the valley almost as strongly as Saturday's initial quake.
Some 100 climbers are trapped at higher camps on the mountain, according to the Nepal Mountaineering Association. The latest earthquake—measured at 6.7 on the Richter scale—came as climbers at camps one and two were apparently trying to find a new route back through the Khumbu icefall, which is blocking their descent to the devastated base camp where at least 17 climbers died on Saturday and 61 more were injured.

According to TIME and Outside sources in Nepal, helicopters have evacacuted the critically injured from Base Camp.
Twenty-two of the most seriously injured had already been taken by helicopter for treatment in the village of Pheriche, the location of the nearest medical facility. But bad weather and communications were hampering more helicopter flights, said Ang Tshering of the Nepal Mountaineering Association.

Original News Post
At around 11:56 a.m. local time, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal, leveling many of the country's poorly constructed brick and stone buildings. The quake was centered about 50 miles northeast of the capital of Kathmandu, where thousands are presumed dead.
The Khumbu Region, home to Mount Everest and the Sherpa villages, were not spared from the devastation. Sherpas working on Everest's north side were able to contact their families in the village of Phortse, where several houses were reported collapsed, some with people inside.
In Everest Base Camp, on the south side of the mountain, a massive ice avalanche coming off of Pumori (23,494 feet), which faces Everest, sent ice and other debri through tents, killing and injuring climbers. According to reports from the mountain, at least 15 people are in critical condition. Meanwhile the BBC is reporting that at least eight people in Base Camp have died. Climbers who were on the route or in Camps I and II have checked in reporting that they are safe but stranded. The route through the Khumbu Icefall has been destroyed and no helicopter flights were able to make the trip up the valley after the quake due to weather.
While doctors have been too busy caring for the injured to report in, radio traffic tells a story of a desperate situation. The Himalayan Rescue Association (HRA) camp was badly damaged in the avalanche. Doctors and paramedics are currently using the International Mountain Guides camp as their base of operations. The Himalayan Experience camp is being used to house uninjured climbers who've lost their camps.
When the sun comes up in Nepal in a few hours, it's likely to rise on a scene of devastation not seen since the Haiti earthquake of 2008. Construction in Nepal is prone to collapse. In 1988, a magnitude 6.8 quake centered along the India-Nepal border killed roughly 1,500 people and injured more than 16,000.
Given the scale of the devastation, it's hard to see how Everest's climbing season can possibly continue. This would be the second year without a season following the deadly avalanche that killed 16 local workers on April 18, 2014.

Do you want to know what I was going to get you?" my husband asked.
A week before our one-year wedding anniversary, we had decided to pool our money to buy a living room chair. (Romantic? Not so much. But having a place to sit is way sexier than a dozen roses—and lasts longer, too.) It was the most rhetorical question I had ever heard. Of course I wanted to know.
"Do you remember that dress at Club Monaco? The one with the black top and the white bottom?" he asked me. Why, yes. The dress with little cap sleeves and an empire waist that fl owed with a perfect fluid drape. How could I forget it? It was the type of clothing you "visit" in anticipation of owning. And I had. Several times.
Yet my husband's non-purchase came as no surprise to me. We've all been there before: Boy hands you gift. You untie the ribbon, brush away the tissue paper to reveal… mesh lingerie or a slinky, sexpot number. Yet this gift was different. This wasn't a dress that would turn male heads, let alone make a man backtrack to buy it.
It was, in short, a girl dress. The type that says, demurely, "I go to brunch with the gals—and never in heels." The fact that he considered investing in a dress that shrouded any hint of my sexuality seemed a testament to his love. Seriously. What. A. Guy. But that got me thinking. For whom exactly do I dress? I took a good look in my closet. Trapeze dresses, graphic patterns, and applique stared back. Nothing was overtly feminine. In fact, there seemed to be an overabundance of black and gray. And most everything I owned flunked the guy-friendly fashion test: It wasn't soft to the touch. You couldn't see through it. There wasn't a lick of stretch or any flimsy bows or ties, implying that a gentle tug would cause the item to fall loose, revealing my naked form. Conclusion: My wardrobe was the opposite of a bombshell's—and I certainly wasn't dressing to entice my poor husband.
And yet, I thought, I'm not dowdy or dumpy. I love to shop. I just prefer clothing that shows off my personal style, not my shape. Then I had a realization: Cut from Carrie's Sex and the City cloth, I didn't dress for men. I dressed to impress women; I was the walking, talking, sample-sale stalking definition of "girl-hot."

The Drumpf -Tiel "Bromance" is very much in the news thanks to the appearance before the RNC
of this "Vichy Gay"
Needless to say Drumpf and Thiel bear no resemblance to Rick and Louis. Thiel is rather Drumf's new "Pet Gay" replacing Roy Cohn (seen here with Drumf and closet queen supreme Ed Koch)
Things have changed for TEH GHEY since then – but Drumpf's mendacity remains
Donald Trump has vowed to appoint judges who will overturn the Supreme Court's ruling on marriage equality, has stated that he supports states' rights to pass laws that give permission to discriminate against queer people, and he recently courted 400 of the most anti-queer leaders in America, so his promise to protect queer people (especially as the leader of the Republican Party which just passed "the most anti-LGBT platform in history") is nothing but a pile of steaming elephant shit and anyone who tries to tell you otherwise ― including Trump himself ― is lying to you and themselves.
And here comes the elephant shit!
"I don't pretend to agree with every lank in out party's platform" sez Vichy Pete, while dissing transgenders (who he likes as much as cisgender women) and his concern over "A staggering decline for the country that created The Manhattan Project"
Vichy Pete like all his ilk
imagine their Rethuglican "friends" will be there for them. But as Luchino Visconti has shown, history proves that not to be the case
Thus making Thiel's "Who Cares?" beyond pathetic.
Still its a lovely Gershwin tune — a favorite of Jane Bowles
And here it is

I love stretchy wraps for the newborn stage, they are so snuggley, soft and comforting during that 4th trimester period. And of all the stretchy wraps I have ever tried, the organic Hana Baby Wrap is my absolute favourite. I hadn't heard of it when my son Tom was born but it was the one I bought for my sister-in-law when my beautiful niece was born and its the one I plan to use with my daughter due in a few months. And clearly its the most popular in my library – I have 6 at the moment and they are almost constantly all out on loan!
The sceptical among you are probably thinking yeah but that's because its your favourite and this biases people toward them … and maybe this is a factor… but usually when a parent asks for a stretchy I simply pass them a pile of 4 or 5 different brands and almost always the parent in question runs their hands over each and pulls out the Hana. That's because the Hana is sumptuously soft and light. It stands out to parents because unlike the majority of stretchy wraps which are made from cotton, the Hana wrap is made predominately from Bamboo (68% Bamboo, 28% Organic Cotton and 4% Elastane to be precise).
Bamboo is a thermo-regulating material so it feels light and cool in summer but will still keep you warm in winter. Parents are often understandably worried about babies (and themselves!) overheating in the 3 layers of material in a stretchy carry, so choosing a lightweight wrap such as the Hana can be a really help prevent everyone getting too hot whatever the season. Bamboo also has natural anti-microbial properties and is machine washable so absolutely no need to worry about the inevitable poo-plosions or baby sick.
In addition to feeling lovely, this wrap is one of the easiest to use because its both very stretchy and has a good level of elasticity. It is a two-way stretchy which simply means it has both length-wise and width-wise stretch and this means there is quite a wide 'window' or tolerance zone between tying too tightly or too loosely which makes learning how to tie much easier than other stretchy wraps with a smaller window. The elasticity simply refers to the ability of the wrap to spring back and not just stretch out and sag, and consequently makes this wrap pretty supportive and strong as baby grows. That said while I feel this wrap would happily support bigger babies, I do find a lot of babies 'grow' out of stretchy wraps (although Hana's slower than many other brands available) – more developmentally than physically. Many parents, myself included find them worth their weight in gold for the 4th trimester period, while others are put off by the idea of buying something that will have a relatively limited lifespan. If you fall into this camp – I, and many other libraries, do offer long term hires on stretchy wraps which can prevent you ever needing to buy one yourself.

Going Uptown
Another Luxury Mid-Rise Community Opens Uptown
Alexan 5151 opens its doors to Galleria residents.
On the heels of its last open house in CityCentre, Alexan debuted another mid-rise community in Houston this month. Uptown's Alexan 5151, named for its address on Hidalgo Street, showcased its new digs for a crowd at its private March 8 grand opening party.
The Galleria-area complex is home to 397 luxury studio, one, and two-bedroom apartments and amenities including two pools with cabanas, a fully-equipped fitness center, private screening room, patios, and mezzanine spaces with 22.5-foot ceilings. Unit features include private patios and balconies, quartz and granite countertops, farmhouse kitchen sinks, and–in some–islands, spa-style bathrooms, and wine chillers.
Construction began in July 2015 and finished last fall, developer Trammell Crow Residential reported. Floor plans vary, but 867 square-feet is the average unit size. Rent begins at $1,450 for a studio and tops out over $4,300 for a two-bedroom mezzanine.
At the grand opening celebration, guests were treated to private tours, refreshments from Lisa Hendrick Catering, music by DJ Fly White, and acrobatics over the water by aerialist Leylen.

In the Catechism of the Catholic Church #4 it states, "The name catechesis was given to the totality of the Church's efforts to make disciples, to help men and women believe that Jesus is the Son of God so that believing they might have life in his name, and to educate and instruct them in this life, thus building up the body of Christ." It goes on to state, "The aim of catechetical activity consists…to encourage a living, explicit and fruitful profession of faith [#1229].
Discipleship then, is the goal of all faith formation. Through faith formation the Church seeks to inform, form and transform individuals, families, and the entire community in the Catholic faith. The Church attempts to nurture our minds and hearts so that who we are and how we live is deeply influenced by the Christian vision of a life in Christ.
In order for us to be excellent witnesses of God's glory and power, we must be intentional in setting aside time to worship, to pray, to study God's Word, and to form ourselves in the ways of the Lord. What we are called to become "the holy people God" does not happen by accident or by chance. We are transformed in our intentional efforts to seek the One who satisfies our hunger and thirsts, Jesus the Savior of the World.
The Church of the Resurrection currently offers
a number of programs for members of the parish
to grow in their faith.
Adults gather for a variety of faith formation opportunities. These include weekly scripture study, seasonal programs during Advent and Lent, annual retreats and biannual revivals.
Adults who wish to join the Catholic Church participate in the Christian Initiation of Adults. Some who are already Catholic join them to deepen their faith and to support those on the journey toward initiation in the Catholic Church.
Children gather at the Church of the Resurrection for several faith formation events. These include Sunday Liturgy of the Word for Children, Vacation Bible School and other events that help them grow in their knowledge and love of the Lord.
See the Children's Faith Formation page for more information.

To My Daughters Future Mother-In-Law,
Yes I realize this letter may be a bit premature since my little girls are only almost 1 and 2.5 but what I have to say has been so heavy on my heart that it couldn't wait.
To a fault I'm fiercely independent in the I can nurse one baby while I play a pretend tea party game while emailing a work client AND cook dinner. While some of my fellow "wonder women" moms out there are nodding because they are too like this, I have to admit that this level of "mommy can save the world and everyone in it" doesn't make relationships easy..In fact it has caused issues in every single one that I have had including my marriage.
You see when you are this take charge people around you often think you don't NEED or WANT help. When others manage to ask you if you need a hand types like me quickly say "I got it" while inside they are secretly hoping that the person asking would just do it because its hard for types like us to accept a helping hand.
My 2-year-old daughter is already exhibiting signs of this " I don't need anyone to help me" mantra. She wants to pick out her own outfits, can put on her own shoes and tells me when I don't put her toys make in the "right place".
As much as I want to raise daughters who can save the world I also want my daughters to know that the right man will NOT need her to run everything in their life.
When you get married the days of proving you can do it ALL are over in my opinion. The competition and race to create an "illusion" of always being perfect and accomplishing enough tasks in one day that most CEO's don't even complete in a month are OVER.
So what does this have to do with you, my daughter's future Mother in Law??
Here is what I pray you do for her future husband, your son!
***Can you teach your son that some of the best wives are strong independent woman because when you are weak she will be strong enough for you and then some!
***Can you teach your son that his wife should never do the job of 10 people no matter if she works from home doing outside work or works from home raising your children? You should ALWAYS contribute when you are home and when you are not home you should ALWAYS ask her how you can make things easier for her!
***Can you teach your son that no matter how many times his wife may say she doesn't need help that she really does. Strong women are afraid to look weak for many reasons and its your sons job to tell her that asking for helping isn't showing weakness and that its his JOB to provide a strong foundation for her to lean on!
***Finally can you teach your son that independent women may tell you that they don't need you but that is the furthest thing from the truth? They need you but just don't always know how to say and show it!
I'm raising some fierce little ladies over here who although may be tough little bundles of dynamite with a smile are truly loving, sensitive and compassionate little girls who I know will become amazing women.
Our society is teaching us that men like this don't exist.. so you can you do me a favor and raise your son to be THAT man. I promise to do my part to raise his future wife to be his partner, best friend and team mate who will never leave his side.
Oh and I'm KNOW with out a doubt that Daddy won't let them go until he is CONFIDENT she has found "THAT" man. This is ONE subject we agree on;)
Your Future Son's Mother-In Love

J.D. Power Asia Pacific, a global market research company, conducted the 2014 Philippines Sales Satisfaction Index (SSI) and reports that the knowledge of dealer sales staff and the attention they provide during the shopping experience of new-vehicle buyers in the Philippines has improved.
The said study examines seven factors that contribute to overall customer satisfaction with the new-vehicle purchase experience. In order of importance, they are delivery process, delivery timing, salesperson, paperwork, deal, sales initiation and dealer facility.
SSI performance is based on a 1,000 point scale, with a higher score indicating higher customer satisfaction. The study is based on responses from 1,484 new-vehicle owners who purchased their vehicles between August 2013 and April 2014. The study was fielded from February to June 2014.
J.D. Power Asia Pacific says overall satisfaction with the sales process improves to 847 this year, from 846 in 2013. Moreover, satisfaction rating with the salesperson also improves year over year from 858 as compared to 851. The year over year satisfaction rating is driven primarily by the salesperson's knowledge of the new-vehicle models and their ability to answer customer's questions.
Toyota ranks highest in new-vehicle sales satisfaction with a score of 860. J.D. Power Asia Pacific says Toyota performs particularly well in the delivery process, delivery timing, salesperson, paperwork, deal and dealer facility factors.
Ford ranks second with a score 855 and Hyundai sits in at third with 842. Rounding up the top five are Suzuki and Mitsubishi with a score of 839 and 838 respectively.

"Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself." - Richard Nixon
If ever a man — if not a politician — was in the wrong job/wrong place/wrong time, it was Richard Milhous Nixon, the 37th President of the United States.
If ever a man — if not a politician — was in the wrong job/wrong place/wrong time, it was Richard Milhous Nixon, the 37th President of the United States.
|Sweat it out baby
Today, he could be Bill-O'Reillied as a brilliant right-wing strategist, destroying reputations, dispersing dirty cash, ignoring some basic statutes of a democratically-elected government. Not to say that liberals might be a little more wholesome — but none of them would be in Nixon's league. He was a burnished pro with dark ambition hardened by self-pity, towering intelligence strangely devoid of conscience, and a deep cynicism for the system he was elected to serve.
Nixon needed draft-dodging hippies as much as they needed him. Bereft of an enemy, both sides would lose direction and purpose.
To think Richard Nixon was president at the time of Woodstock helps put the inevitability of his demise into an understandable perspective. He became increasingly irrelevant, an opinion strengthened by the surprise election of Jimmy Carter, a man diametrically different than his predecessor (yes, let's overlook G. Ford, a passive Nixon appointee).
Oddly, it was never clear why Nixon wanted the job, who he was striving to impress, or the validity of his vision. For the smartest guy in the room, he made some terrible errors in judgment. Some of his friends were terrifying.
His core contribution to popular culture comes to us through Greek-drama fueled fatalism. His career is a dire, cloaked warning.
|King Lear on the Helipad/Heath
Nixon was born to be disgraced and ridiculed; his prodigious gifts splintered under character deficits so aggressive and persistent that any chance of redemption has been ceded to deities. How else could he have left the White House — except hunched and wounded and on the run? Fate.
Nixon had qualities that prevented him from being a decent man. He knew that, so carefully constructed his image. At one
|Nixon on the Beach
Heraclitus, a Greek who also knew something about people, believed "character is destiny."
Few fools have ever been as brilliant as Richard Nixon.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' 16th studio album, Skeleton Tree, will be released globally on Friday, September 9th, but the first opportunity anyone will have to hear songs from the album will be while watching One More Time With Feeling, a film directed by Andrew Dominik (Chopper, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Killing Them Softly), on Thursday, September 8th.
Amoeba Music will be at two screenings of One More Time With Feeling on September 8th selling the album early! Attendees can purchase Skeleton Tree after the film lets out. Catch One More Time With Feeling and get Skeleton Tree on September 8th in Berkeley at Rialto Cinemas® Elmwood (2966 College Avenue) and in Hollywood with director Q&A to follow at The Egyptian Theater (sold out).
One More Time With Feeling evolved from a performance-based concept into something more complex as Dominik delved into the background of the writing and recording of Skeleton Tree. Interwoven throughout the Bad Seeds' filmed performance of the new album are interviews and footage shot by Dominik, accompanied by Cave's intermittent narration and improvised rumination. The result is stark, fragile, and raw, and a true testament to an artist searching for his way through the darkness.
We're a little past the half-way mark of 2016 already, so it seemed like a perfect time to reflect upon the fantastic in-store shows we've put on at all three of our Amoeba locations: San Francisco, Berkeley, and Hollywood. Each and every live performance we present at our stores is a unique and thrilling experience for the audience and staff, but some shows just have that extra bit of magic to make them stand out as our favorites. Enjoy our lists of top five in-store shows of 2016 (so far)!
Amoeba Bay Area: San Francisco & Berkeley
The Mystery Lights at Amoeba SF: July 31, 2016
Every so often we book a band right before or just as they explode onto the scene in a big way. Although The Mystery Lights has put out a couple of releases since 2009, the NY-by-way-of-Salinas, California band just released their self-titled debut on Daptone Records' new subsidiary Wick and it's gaining momentum. Their sound is sinister garage - the darker side of the '60s Nuggets, Pebbles, and Back From The Grave comps. Think the proto-punk of The Seeds, The Sonics, Jesters of Newport. Unlike many garage rock revivalists, The Mystery Lights don't just recreate the sound; these guys channel it spiritually, putting on a raucous show led by the howling, jumping, guitar-wielding Mike Brandon.
In celebration of the release of director Nicolas Winding Refn provocative horror-thriller, The Neon Demon, and it's soundtrack, Amoeba Music brings your two exciting events.

The Neon Demon stars Elle Fanning, Jena Malone, Christina Hendricks, and Keanu Reeves, and opens in theaters on June 24. The films follows Jesse (Fanning), a starry-eyed sixteen-year-old who comes to Los Angeles with dreams of becoming a runway model. Lying about her age in order to score gigs, she struggles to claw her way up the ladder of Hollywood's cutthroat modeling industry. Her career takes a turn when she befriends snarky makeup artist Ruby (Malone), who plugs her into the city's nightclub scene, introducing her to Gigi and Sarah, two model friends in their early twenties who are already becoming yesterday's news. But as Jesse's star rises, her virgin innocence attracts jealous eyes, making her vulnerable to violence...

Season 1960/61 was again one of a work in progress for the Shire. More young players were introduced into the team but League results continued to disappoint. We only recorded 9 wins in our 36 Division Two League matches and as result our 16th place in the end of the season table was not unexpected. There were some highs and lows during the League season; a home 0-0 draw was gained against Falkirk (who would be promoted in 2nd place), but then we lost to the same team 0-6 away; a 1-0 away win was achieved against Stenhousemuir (who ended up in 3rd place) but we lost the reverse home fixture 1-2. There were also big wins and defeats, we had a great 4-1 away win at Queen of the South and a home win by the same scoreline against Greenock Morton which were balanced by heavy defeats at Montrose, 1-6, and East Fife, 1-8. In Group 9 Of the League Cup, played at the start of the season, we failed to qualify from our Group, recording only 1 win and 1 draw from our 4 games. The Scottish Cup 1st Round Tie against Alloa Athletic, at Recreation Park, was a case of so near yet so far as after leading 3-2 at the interval we went out 4-5. The Stirlingshire Cup 1st Round was a disaster as was crashed out 0-7 away to Falkirk.
Finally, after a number of seasons of little signs of improvement, Shire turned the corner in 1961/62. The League campaign didn't get off to the best of starts with 2 wins and 4 defeats in our 1st 6 games. However, after this wins became more regular though these were balanced with a number of defeats. Shire's biggest win of the season was an easy 8-2 home win against bottom club, Brechin City. As the season ended Shire secured a mid-placed 11th in the 19 team League with 15 wins, scoring a healthy 70 goals. The early season League Cup was the usual Section 9 Group failure although this time we won 2 and lost 2 of our games. After receiving a bye in the 1st Round of the Scottish Cup Shire were drawn away to Caledonian in the next Round but went out 0-3 in front of a 3220 crowd. We also competed in the Penman Cup in 1961/62 and met Falkirk in the 1st Round at home, drawing 2-2. In the Replay at Brockville Park Shire recorded a great 5-3 win. In the Semi Final Tie we travelled to Stirling Albion but lost 1-3. After years of no success Shire won the Stirlingshire Cup for the 1st time since 1935/36, beating Stenhousemuir 3-1 in the Brockville Final. On the way to the Final we had beaten Falkirk at Firs Park 3-2 in the 1st Round and then Dumbarton 4-2 in the Semi Final again at home.
1962/63 was the year that all the Steedmans rebuilding of the team finally clicked. After an indifferent start in the League, winning 1 and losing 2 of our 1st 3 games, we then went on an 11 game unbeaten run which included 8 wins. This took us to 2nd place in the League table behind St. Johnstone. We then lost the next 2 games but bounced back to thump Stranraer 6-0 straight after, at home, on 15th December. Then one of the worst winters on record started in earnest and resulted in the Shire not playing another League game until 9th March. The force hiatus did wonders for us and when the League campaign finally restarted on 9th March Shire went on an 8 game unbeaten run which included 6 wins. After a rare defeat Shire rattled off another 3 wins and 2 draws by the end of April. The season had been extended due to the severe winter and Shire had now 5 games left to play to secure promotion. On 1st May Shire travelled to Albion Rovers but suffered a 2-0 reverse which left the top of the Division as follows: St. Johnstone Played 31 Points 46, Shire Played 32 Points 45 and Greenock Morton Played 33 Points 44. The next game for us, on the 4th May, was the hugely important home game against Greenock Morton and a incredible 9,000 fans turned up to cheer the Shire onto a 2-0 victory, both goals coming in the 2nd half. This left Shire needing 2 points from our last 3 games for promotion and next up was Title favourites St. Johnstone at Firs Park 2 days later. A massive crowd reported as both 7,000 and 9,000 turned up for the midweek encounter but both teams failed to score and the 0-0 result meant that St. Johnstone were promoted and Shire still needed 1 point from our remaining 2 fixtures to join them. The result also meant that Shire had remained undefeated in the League at home for the full season. On the Saturday 11th May Shire travelled to Alloa Athletic seeking the required point and the 2368 crowd saw the Shire do just that, drawing 0-0, and thus gaining promotion to Division One for the 1st time in 30 years and for only the 2nd time in our history. St. Johnstone went on to win the Title but Shire were more than happy with the promotion place. It wasn't just about the League in 1962/63, Shire also had a great run to the last 16 of the Scottish Cup beating Stirling Albion at home in the 1st Round 2-0 and then having a fantastic 1-0 home win against Division One Motherwell in the next Round. The prize was an away 3rd Round Tie against Rangers, who would go onto win the Division One and Scottish Cup double that season. The result of the game was harsh on Shire as we went out of the Cup 2-7 in front of a 35,000 crowd. Shire also competed in Group 5 of the League Cup at the start of the season though our record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats meant we ended up in 3rd place in the 4 team group. After the high of winning the Stirlingshire Cup the previous season Shire went out in the 1st Round 3-0 away to Stirling Albion after the original game had been drawn 2-2.

After seasons of misery and being in the footballing wilderness the Shire were finally back at the top table of Scottish football in 1963/64. Shire 1st game in Division One for 30 years took place on 21st August at Firs Park against Kilmarnock and although the game was tied 0-0 at the interval we lost out 0-2 by the time the final whistle was blown. Next up was the much anticipated derby against Falkirk at Brockville Park but Shire went down to a narrow 0-1 defeat. Shire did record our 1st League win of the season 1 week later when a good 4-0 result was achieved at Firs Park against Queen of the South. After that the reality of how tough the top Division was began to hit and although Shire did record the odd win here and there it was mainly defeats that the Shire fans witnessed. In November 1963 the Shire decided to go full time but it came too late for the slide to be halted. In the end we only recorded 5 wins in the 34 games campaign and finished up in last place in the League, therefore being relegated. Shire reached the last 16 of the Scottish Cup for the 2nd season in a row before losing heavily 1-6 at home to follow Division One team Dunfermline Athletic in front of a 6,000 crowd. We had received a bye in the 1st Round and defeated East Fife 1-0 away in the next Round. The early season League Cup saw Shire very nearly qualify out of the Group 7, winning 5 games and losing 1. However, St. Johnstone had the better goal average and it was the Perth team who progressed. The Stirlingshire Cup saw us drawn against Falkirk in the Semi Final and after a 1-1 draw at Firs Park we went out in the replay at Brockville Park in a high scoring 3-5 defeat. Shire also played a glamour friendly on 29th October at Firs Park against English Division One Chelsea and we achieved a credible 2-2 draw. The game had come about after the London club had previously signed 3 Shire players, Eddie McCreadie, Tommy Knox and Jimmy Mulholland. At the end of the season the whole of the Shire team was put up for sale by the Shire board run by the Steedmans.
In March 1964 the Steedmans decided to approach Clydebank Juniors to discuss the possibility of moving the Shire to Clydebank and in early April, as result of these discussions the Shire board (including Jack and Charles Steedman) agreed that East Stirlingshire would merge with Clydebank Juniors. This was also agreed to by Clydebank Juniors at their AGM. The merger was immediately contested on the grounds of the terms of the East Stirlingshire FC voting rights by the East Stirlingshire FC shareholders but by May the merger was completed. The club's company name did not change from East Stirlingshire Football and Athletic Club Ltd but the team changed its' name. Even the enclosure at Firs Park was moved to Kilbowie.
After the traumatic events over the summer of 1964 Shire moved from Falkirk and Firs Park to play as a new merged team (with Clydebank Juniors) at Kilbowie Park, Clydebank over 30 miles away. The newly merged club chose the name of ES Clydebank for the team. As this happened the process of legally challenging this decision through the courts was commenced when Glasgow lawyer, Robin Turpie, joined forces with the East Stirlingshire FC shareholders to plan their action. On the playing front the club was back in Division Two and the newly merged team had a good season, finishing 5th in the 19 team League. The largest wins recorded during the League season were 5-0 and 6-1 home wins against Montrose and Brechin City respectively. In the Scottish Cup ES Clydebank took Division One Hibernian to a Replay in the 1st Round after a draw 1-1 at Easter Road. However, a huge crowd at Kilbowie of 11,500 saw the home team go out in the Replay, 0-2. The Club had started the season with 6 League Cup Group 6 matches but failed to qualify, winning 1, drawing 4 and losing 1 of the games. ES Clydebank did not compete in the Stirlingshire Cup that season. Two home friendlies were also played in February when Sunderland won 5 -1 and Ipswich Town were beaten 2-1.
The court case ended up in the Court of Session where on the 7th May 1965 Lord Hunter found in favour of East Stirlingshire FC and subsequently ES Clydebank we de-merged with East Stirlingshire FC and the Shire returning to play at Firs Park for season 1965/66. The Steedmans remained with Clydebank Juniors and 1 season later, in 1966/67, that club became a senior club and were elected to Division Two.
What can't be underestimated was the cost that the "Clydebank" year had on the club. In the club accounts for the AGM in December 1965 the Report to the Directors included the following;
"After the upheaval of 1964-65 it is difficult to assess just how much damage has been done to the prestige and appeal of the club in the estimation of the football public of Falkirk & District, but it must be obvious that the task of reinstatement and reconstruction will be a difficult one and require the wholehearted support of all concerned."
Also in the same accounts the true cost of the Steedman's ES Clydebank folly had cost the Shire was laid bare and it included amongst other items;
Expenditure in connections with Kilbowie Park, Clydebank
Floodlight System at Cost £7,140
Sum advance to Agents of Trustees for Clydebank £1,500
Given all the turmoil over the previous 12 months it wasn't a surprise that the results on the pitch weren't great during the 1965/66 season. The Shire team and the Shire fans were just happy that the club was back playing at Firs Park as East Stirlingshire FC. We found it a struggle in Division Two and it wasn't until our 7th game that we won our 1st League game, at home to Cowdenbeath, 5-4. Results did improve slightly thereafter and we eventually won 9 games in total although only 1 was away from home, that being our 2-0 win at Third Lanark in March. All this meant that Shire ended the season in 17th place in the 19 team League. Shire were drawn against Division One Motherwell at home in the 1st Round of the Scottish Cup and put in a good performance to draw 0-0. The Replay was a different story, losing the match 1-4. Shire played in Group 8 of the League Cup as the season opened, winning all our home matches but losing our 3 away games which meant we failed to qualify only finishing 3rd place in the 4 team group. The 1st game we played back at Firs Park in 1965/66 have been our League Cup match against Alloa Athletic on 18th August when a large 3000 crowd turned up to welcome the team home. In the Stirlingshire Cup we lost out 0-1 in the 1st Round at home to Stirling Albion.
The following season Division Two increased to 20 teams with the inclusion of Clydebank. For the Shire and for the Steedman's Clydebank it was to be a very poor season both ended up only 1 point of the bottom of the League with Shire being placed in 19th due to an inferior goal average. Shire only had 7 wins in the whole season. We had had a terrible start to the season, failing to win any of our 1st 12 League games with only 3 of these games being drawn. We finally won on 5th November, 3-1 at home to Brechin City, but it proved to be a false dawn as it would be another 10 games before our 2nd win was achieved. It wasn't until right at the end of the season that we started to perform on the pitch with 4 wins in our last 6 games, 3 of these in our last 3 games, but it was too little too late. The Scottish Cup also was a disappointment when we went out in the 1st Round 0-1 away to fellow Division two team Forfar Athletic. Results from the early season League Cup was also poor with Shire failing to win any of our 5 Group 9 matches and only managing 2 draws. In the Stirlingshire Cup we lost out at home in the 1st Round to Falkirk 1-2.
With the demise of Third Lanark at the end of 1966/67 the 1967/68 Division Two was back down to 19 teams. After a couple of very bad seasons Shire results started to improve, although only marginally, and we won 9 League games during the season to take us to an end of season 15th spot. The League campaign had started with a very promising 5-0 home win against Stenhousemuir and although other good wins were gained throughout the season there was wasn't enough consistency. Right at the end of the season, in our last away game, we played out a remarkable 5-5 draw against Clydebank where we came back from a 3-4 deficit at half time. Shire had a better time of it in the Scottish Cup with 2 wins away to Highland League opposition in the 1st two Preliminary Rounds, 4-1 at Fraserburgh in the 1st and 3-1 at Keith in the next Round. This set up a home 1st Round tie against Division One Hibernian where we competed well but lost out 3-5 in front of a near 4000 crowd. At the start of the season Shire performed badly in our Group 9 League Cup Section ended up bottom with only 1 point from our 4 games. In the local Stirlingshire Cup, after a credible 0-0 draw away to Falkirk, Shire elected to scratch from the competition.
In 1968/69 Shire managed to rid ourselves of the lingering shadow of the fallout from the dark ES Clydebank period and competed well throughout the season. In the League Shire raced off to a great start with an unbeaten run in our 1st 7 games. This included 6 wins in a row and 2 incredible back to back results, a 7-3 home win against Berwick Rangers on 7th September and 4 days later, again at Firs Park, a fantastic 6-0 win against Stenhousemuir. Although there were dips during the season as we were unable to maintain our early season promise, a healthy end of season mid table 9th place was achieved with 17 League games being won along the way. Shire had another run in the Scottish Cup in 1968/69 which started with us winning our 2nd Preliminary Round Replay against Alloa Athletic 2-1 after the 1st game had been drawn 0-0. The 1st Round saw us win 2-0 at home to fellow Division Two team Stirling Albion 2-0 before meeting St. Johnstone in the 2nd Round (last 16). In front of a large 6532 crowd the tie was drawn 1-1 at Firs Park but St. Johnstone won through at Muirton Park 3 nil in the Replay. As a contrast to our league start our Group 9 League Cup games results in August were not great, only winning 1 and drawing 1 of our 4 games and avoiding bottom place in the group from Alloa Athletic on goal average. In the Stirlingshire Cup we won our 1st Round tie against Dumbarton 3-1 before recording a memorable Semi Final 3-1 win away at Falkirk. There was not enough time to play the Final before the season end so it was held over until the next season. Shire also played a number of friendlies during the season including a 2-0 away win at Hibernian and a 1-2 home defeat against Celtic.

Further progression was made in 1969/70 both on and of the pitch. At the club's AGM in December it was announced that the club had bought Firs Park from British Railways with the deal being completed on 27th November. This was the 1st time in our history that we had owned our own ground. At the same meeting the club also announced record profits of £12,727 which had been helped by the sale of the players totalling £15,000. The club had purchased the car park at Victoria Road for £1000 and erected new toilets at the Firs Park entrance of the ground. The club had also made a bid to purchase land behind the stand with a view to increasing the capacity of the ground. On the pitch despite the sale of some of our best players a mid table 12th place was achieved, with 14 wins during the season. After a sluggish 1st half of the League campaign Shire finished the season well with 8 wins in our last 12 games. Shire had a disappointment in the Scottish Cup 1st Preliminary Round when we went out of the Cup 1-3 at Stranraer. In Group 6 of the League Cup in August Shire failed to progress, winning 1 and drawing 2 of our 6 games. However, there was triumph for the Shire in the held over 1968/69 Final of the Stirlingshire Cup when we won a close 3-2 game against Alloa Athletic. The 1969/70 Stirlingshire Cup wasn't as successful for the Shire as we went out at home to Falkirk 2-0 in the Semi Final. Shire played a number of friendlies during the season, the highlight being the pre-season match at Firs Park against English Third Division Oldham Athletic, which we lost 1-3.

06:52 pm
U.S. labor costs accelerated in the third quarter, leading to the biggest year-on-year increase in 2-1/2 years and offering hope that wage growth was finally gaining momentum amid a tightening labor market.
The Employment Cost Index, the broadest measure of laborcosts, increased 0.7 percent amid gains in wages and benefits after an unrevised 0.5 percent rise in the second quarter, the Labor Department said on Tuesday.
That lifted the year-on-year rate of increase to 2.5 percent, the largest gain since the first quarter of 2015.
The dollar rose to a session high against a basket of currencies on the data. The third-quarter increase in the ECI was in line with economists` expectations.
Wage growth has remained stubbornly modest even as the labor market is near full employment, with the jobless rate at a 16-1/2-year low of 4.2 percent.
Economists say labor costs need to rise by at least 3 percent to push inflation closer to the U.S. centralbank`s 2 percent inflation target. Labor costs increased 2.4 percent in the year to June.
Signs of a pickup in wage growth are likely to be welcomed by Federal Reserve officials, who are scheduled to begin a two-day policy meeting later on Tuesday. The U.S. central bank is unlikely to raise interest rates this week, but is expected to do so in December. It has raised rates twice this year.
Steadily increasing wages offer hope that inflation could soon trend higher.
A government report on Monday showed the Fed`s preferred inflation measure, the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index excluding food and energy, increasing 1.3 percent in the 12 months through September. The core PCE has undershot the Fed`s 2 percent target for nearly 5-1/2 years.
The ECI is widely viewed by policymakers and economists asone of the better measures of labor market slack. It is alsoconsidered a better predictor of core inflation. Wages and salaries, which account for 70 percent ofemployment costs, rose 0.7 percent in the third quarter. They increased 0.5 percent in the second quarter. Wages andsalaries were up 2.5 percent in the 12 months through September.That followed a 2.3 percent gain in the year to June.
Private industry wages rose 0.7 percent in the third quarter. They increased 2.6 percent in the 12 months through September. Wages in the manufacturing sector rose 0.8 percent in the third quarter, while construction wages increased 0.6 percent.
Benefits for all workers increased 0.8 percent in theJuly-September quarter after rising 0.6 percent in the secondquarter. They were up 2.4 percent in the 12 months through September.

Passports Needed For Kartarpur, Will Go By MoU: India
New Delhi: Amid conflicting messages emanating from Pakistan ahead of the Kartarpur inauguration, India on Thursday said that pilgrims going from India would have to carry their passports to use the cross-border corridor to reach the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara.
Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar, addressing a briefing here, said that despite the corridor slated to be inaugurated on Saturday "a sense of confusion continues", in the wake of the latest tweet by Pakistan military's media wing.

Kumar said the Indian government would go by the bilateral MoU inked between the two sides on the Kartarpur corridor.
"As of today, there is a bilateral document which has been signed between the two sides, which very clearly specifies the documents needed to undertake the visit," he said.
On Thursday, Pakistan Director General of Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor tweeted, saying that Indian Sikh pilgrims would require a passport to visit the Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara.
On November 1, Prime Minister Imran Khan had tweeted that no passport would be needed for identification and prior registration for the visitors, leading to numerous questions from Indian pilgrims.
The Kartarpur Sahib Gurdwara in Narowal district of Pakistan's Punjab province is located 4.5 km from the Indian border. The shrine will be accessible to Indian pilgrims throughout the year via the corridor.
The MEA spokesperson said any amendment to the MoU "cannot be done unilaterally, it requires consent of both parties".
"So, for the time being, we are going by the requirements as stipulated in the MoU," he said.
He said that those undertaking the journey on November 9 and later "will have to go by what is contained in the MoU, till it is revised or amended to include other provisions requested or proposed by the Pakistani side".
Asked if Pakistan has confirmed the list of the 550 delegates to use the corridor on November 9, he said that so far Pakistan has not got back on the list.
"Pakistan is supposed to confirm the final list of pilgrims at least four days in advance of the visit. The journey is to take place the day after tomorrow, and so we presume that all the names we have shared with Pakistan, they stand confirmed and we have accordingly informed those who are part of the jatha," he said.
He also said that since there are former prime ministers and chief ministers in the jatha "adequate arrangements should be made in terms of security for the dignitaries" by Pakistan.
