Great idea! I will use this for my coop! With 20+ chickens...It sure STINKS in my coop! Eeeeeeww!
Thats a great idea for the coop.. i love it, i have a parrot rescue here and i like to use all natural stuff for that also.. as the birds of any kind cant do harmful toxic cleaners. Iam going to use that recipe for cleaning the cages of the parrots also.. thank you for posting.. love the ideas u all have
Lisa, you must have the best smelling chicken coop in the country. Unfortunately, my chicken coop experiences were not sweet smelling and always happened in July with sweltering heat after all the chickens had been processed. It was a wonder that I made it through those experiences but then I was young and didn't know that ammonia could cause harm to the lungs. So far it hasn't been an issue in the ageing process. I hope it stays that way. Our coop only had chickens in it for about six weeks out of the year. I wish I knew about your sweet smelling disinfectant back in my youth days. Have a great sweet smelling coop day.
I am sure it not only works well, but smells wonderful also. Definitely will try it this weekend.
Great idea. Orange Oil is expensive at the feed store. Works great on fire ants here in north central Texas.
I love this idea! So much friendlier than bleach water mix.
That is a wonderful article! Thank you for the great recipe. So interesting!!
I seen this on Pinterest. Totally making it this week. THANKS
What a great idea. More natural...the better!
This sounds great! I like the addition ingredients of vanilla and cinnamon--will have to try this!
I bet this could be used as an all-purpose cleaner for everything! I'm gonna make it and let you know. Thanks!!!!
I bet it smells devine!!
I have used this without the vanilla bean and cinnamon but I think I will add them with the next batch! Love this stuff.
I went out and bought oranges and vanilla beans just so I can do this! I don't think my daughters and husband will complain about eating oranges. I can't wait until it is ready and I can clean clean clean with it!
Have to try this! :)
I can't wait to try this...I've pinned it!

CBD Third Eye Flow Yoga with Veronica is every Saturday from 2:00 – 3:15 PM. Try your first yoga class at Liberate Hollywood for FREE! Love it, and get our New Student Special: Next 5 classes for $50!
Take CDB oil and conscious breathing combined with a slow flow vinyasa class to active and deepen your connection to the seat of your soul!
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a relatively new dietary supplement that is derived from hemp and thought to be responsible for many of marijuana's therapeutic effects. It is just one of over 85 cannabinoids presently identified in the cannabis plant and is the second most abundant cannabinoid in marijuana after THC. CBD is a non-psychoactive component of cannabis that won't get you high. CBD has potential as treatment for a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, diabetes, alcoholism, MS, chronic pain, schizophrenia, PTSD, depression, antibiotic-resistant infections, epilepsy, and other neurological disorders.
One of the many things the addition of cannabis does for your health is it stimulates your body's production of anandamide. This is known as the "Bliss Molecule". It takes your body into a state of rest and restoration. It generates a calm and focused atmosphere to practice getting to know and working with your Third Eye Chakra. This class will use an oil with less than .002% THC. It is a 420-friendly class so if you want to bring a vape pen with your preferred dosage, feel free. The Hemp Oil Veronica provides has very powerful health benefits and is optional as part of the class.
"The pineal gland is a pea-sized gland shaped like a pine cone, located in the vertebrate brain near the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. Also known as the third eye, it is a revered tool of seers and mystics and considered to be the organ of supreme universal connection. Its significance appears in every ancient culture throughout the world. For example, in Ayurvedic philosophy, the third eye is represented by the Ajna chakra and in Ancient Egypt, the symbol of the Eye of Horus mirrors the placement of the pineal gland in the profile of the human head. The third eye is connected to clarity, concentration, imagination and intuition."
– from www.gaia.com
While all of the body's chakras are important, the health of the Third Eye or Ajna chakra is particularly vital. One of the key purposes of the chakras is to provide a sound and useful link between the conscious mind and the natural world, and the Ajna chakra is where the flow of energy interacts with your consciousness. Your Third Eye chakra is responsible for the link between your mind and the outer world. The energy from the Third Eye allows us to cut through illusion and to access deeper truths – to see beyond the mind and beyond the words. This makes it extremely important to maintain a healthy and balanced Ajna chakra even if you're not actively seeking enlightenment or spiritual harmony. A healthy 6th chakra promotes intuition, pattern recognition, learning skills, manifestation, magic and memory.
The Third Eye Chakra is very important when you are making shifts in your life. It is a bridge for deep connection with your intuition and creative self! Combine Nano Enhanced Hemp Oil (CBD), breathing techniques, slow vinyasa flow and guided deep meditation to bring you back to your center. You will leave feeling tapped into your Soul and blissed out to the max!
Suitable for all levels of practice. Bring a mat and hand towel and get ready to rid your body of all stuck toxins and stuck energy. Leave feeling like a new you!
COST: $20 Drop-In. Class Packages Available | MUST RSVP: email@example.com

$20.93Ronen's Opening Survey: The Vienna Opening in the QGD (7 part series). D37: QGD: 4.Nf3. The Vienna QGD is a very important part of the Ragozin opening - ECO D37-D39. This opening has been used in recent years by many of the top players, including Aronian, Topalov, Anand Morozevich and many more. By capturing on c4 with his d pawn, black immediately goes after white's center, deviating from the normal positional play after white himself plays cxd5. A very energetic opening for any level! Let's watch GM Ronen's shows, and learn all the tricks and subtleties of this interesting opening. Learn More
$20.93Ronen's Opening Survey: Openings from World Championship Matches (7 part series). D17: QGD Slav: Wiesbaden variation. We are going to follow and enjoy the World Championship Match in May, with ICC Chess.FM LIVE commentary, and in a new series GM Ronen offers us a Special Opening Survey Series: he will be investigating openings played by the two contenders for the World Championship 2012: from Anand's opening in his previous Championship matches against Kramnik and Topalov, to Gelfand's openings in the candidates match that led the Israeli super-GM on to the great challenge. Ronen will be with us all the way through the big match, with updates and analysis on the openings and novelties played by World Champion GM Anand and challenger GM Gelfand. Learn More
$20.93Ronen's Opening Survey: The Hedgehog (7 part series). A05: English . The Hedgehog is a thoroughly modern defense where flexibility and understanding trumps all. This counter-punching system was a big favorite of the likes of Garry Kasparov, Ljubomir Ljubojevic and Ulf Andersson, and for player's of the White pieces playing the English Opening, it can still be problematic at the best of times. But the late Polish-American GM Aleksander "Wojo" Wojtkiewicz - who was a feared player of the White pieces - came up with a simple, yet at the same time aggressive plan to "Sonic the Hedgehog" with 1 c4 c5 2 Nf3 Nf6 3 Nc3 e6 4 g3 b6 5 Bg2 Bb7 6 0–0 a6 7 Re1. And in a new series, GM Ronen Har-Zvi returns to look more carefully at Wojo's system - that led to him scoring many spectacular wins - as a potent weapon in your arsenal to make roadkill out of the prickly Hedgehog. Learn More
$20.93Ronen's Opening Survey: Marshall Gambit in the Slav (7 part series). D10: QGD: semi-Slav, Marshall gambit 4. … Bb4. Frank J. Marshall, who held the U.S. championship title for 29 years before he relinquished it in 1936, had such a combinative style that he likened himself to boxing legend Jack Dempsey, who always went for a quick knockout blow. He left us his legacy of the Marshall Attack in the Ruy Lopez - but lesser known perhaps is his "other" gambit, a similarly vicious line against the notoriously tough Slav Defense that was also christened the Marshall Gambit after its inventor Learn More
$20.93Ronen's Opening Survey: QGD with 5.Bf4 (7 part series). D37: QGD: classical variation (5.Bf4). The Orthodox Defense to the Queen's Gambit (1 d4 d5 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 Nf6 4 Nf3 Be7) is an extremely resilient system for Black, and a solid favorite of not just your average club player but also many of the world's top stars. For many years, the two main lines against it used to be 5 Bg5 or 5 cxd5. But in the early 1970s, Hungary's Lajos Portisch revived an old favorite of English player Joseph Blackburne (1841-1924) of 5 Bf4 with some pioneering new ideas in it. Players such as Kasparov, Karpov, Kramnik, Fischer, Carlsen, Topalov and Ivanchuk added it to their repertoire. And in a new series of Ronen's Opening Survey for Chess.FM, our resident openings expert, GM Ronen Har-Zvi, takes a closer look at the many attractions to the Queen's Gambit Declined with 5 Bf4 and why you also should be adding it to your repertoire. Learn More
$20.93New Ideas in…: French: Rubinstein variation (7 part series). C10: French: Rubinstein variation 3… dxe4. With over 90% of White players opting for either 3 Nc3 or Nd2 against the French Defense, many players like the idea of the option of an easy-to-play sideline rather than the theory-trodden paths of the Winawer or Tarrasch variations. A simple solution is the Rubinstein variation with 3 ...dxe4 that can be deployed against both the big main-lines of 3 Nc3 and 3 Nd2 and has easy development and no pawn structure weaknesses for Black. And from there, there's also the solid Fort Knox variation with 4 ...Bd7 or the newer (neo-Rubinstein) Katalymov's variation with 4 ..Qd5. And in his latest series of "New Ideas In....", GM Ronen Harzvi shows just how easy and how handy the Rubinstein variation can be. Learn More
$20.93New Ideas in…: The 150 Attack (7 part series). B07: Pirc defense. In the latest of his "New Ideas In... " series, GM Ronen Har-Zvi looks at " The 150 Attack, " a sharp line for white against the Pirc that was pioneered in the 1980s by a new generation of English players, such as John Nunn, Nigel Short and Mickey Adams. The main idea is Be3, Qd2, Bh6, advance the h-pawn and then deliver mate. Naturally, this seemed too good to be true and was quickly dubbed the 150 Attack (a peculiarity of the English grading system, with 150 equating to 1800 Elo), since it seemed that only a club player would use such a blatant attacking system and expect the game to finish in checkmate. Learn More
$20.93Ronen's Opening Survey: Sicilian, Chekhover Variation #1. B53: Sicilian . The Sicilian variation 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Qxd4, named after the very famous Russian chess composer Vitaly Chekhover (sometimes also called the Hungarian Variation), is an interesting alternative for white to avoid many of the heavily analyzed lines in the Sicilian. Oftentimes this variation leads to a more positional rather than complicated play. Recently the world number 1 , which by now we can say be the highest rated player in History, has decided to put this variation to work, and we are here as always to follow and explain this interesting and surprising line, that deserves attention at any level. Learn More
$20.93Closed Game Structure: QGD (7 part series) Players: Botvinnik, Keres, Nenachev, Panchenko, Kasparov, Barua, Karpov, Ljuboljevic, Djuric, Pfleger, Watson, VanderSterren, Hansen, Seirawan, Jussupow, Gelfand, Ivanchuk, Andersson, Kasparov, Karpov, Pelletier,Schulman, Vouldis, Kasparov, Smyslov, Nielsen, Georgiev, Nikolic, Miladinovic, Kramnik, Morozevich, Atalik, Capablanca, Alekhine, Malaniuk, Petronijevic, Alekhine, Colle, Pillsburry, Chigorine, Karpov, Yussupov ECO: After several video lectures on structures that spring from 1.e4 e5, IM John Watson moves on to analyze 1.d4 d5 games. In this series, John tackles the structures that can happen in the Queen's Gambit Declined: 1. d4 d5; 2.c4 e6. The 'QGD' is one of the most played openings, either in classic times and nowadays, with a lot of different variations. Declining the Queen Gambit, Black goes for a strong point in the center, whereas by playing 2. … dxc4 (Queen's Gambit accepted), he would surrender the center. this is why the QGD is considered a 'closed game'. Learn More
$20.93Repertoire for Black - The Chigorin (7 part series) Players: ECO: D07 Russian Grandmaster Mikhail Chigorin apparently valued the bishop pair less than most chess masters; some say he even preferred knights to bishops. This is probably why he developed the Defense named after him, to contrast the Queen's Gambit (1. d4 d5 2. c4 Nc6). The Cigoring Defense actually violates several classical principles: Black does not maintain the center pawn at d5, the c-pawn is blocked, and Black must be willing to trade a bishop for a knight; nonetheless this opening is considered playable for Black. In this video series IM John Watson investigates this interesting opening. Learn More

$20.93Ronen's Opening Survey: Classical King's Indian with 7 … exd4 (7 part series). E93: King's Indian: orthodox variation. Ronen's show "Opening Survey" follows carefully the most recent trends in the chess world. Lately the King's Indian has been suffering big time, with GM Bacrot scoring 0 out 3 in the first rounds of the Biel Chess Festival, losing all his King's Indian games; it's time for our opening expert GM Ronen Har-Zvi to suggest ideas and opinions on this important piece of chess opening theory. In this new series Ronen will address the classical King's Indian with a more dynamic approach, opening the center and playing fast: Kramnik scored a fantastic win in Dortmund against Jan Gustafsson this year with the variation Ronen is taking in consideration in this series. Let's try and keep the King's Indian alive, with GM Ronen Har-Zvi! Learn More
$20.93Ronen's Opening Survey: Anti-Grunfeld systems (7 part series). A15, A05: English opening, English opening with Qa4+. The Grunfeld Defense is one of those annoying openings that torment all 1 d4 players. After 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 3 Nc3 d5 Black immediately begins active operations in the center and, more importantly, forces White to memorize a labyrinth of variations if he hopes to have any real chance at walking away with an advantage. But have no fear as there's one Anti-Grunfeld line - favored by Veselin Topalov, among others - that's fast becoming a panacea for white with easy play and troubles for black, and that's lines with 4 Qa4+. And in a new series of Ronen's Opening Survey, our openings expert takes a look at these Anti-Grunfeld lines. Learn More
$20.93New Ideas in…: Sicilian: Moscow Variation (7 part series). B51, B52: Sicilian: Canal-Sokolsky (Nimzovich-Rossolimo, Moscow) attack. Playing the White side of the Sicilian is a tricky business these days with all that main-line theory to remember. Indeed, if White is looking to present Black with some real problems while still avoiding mountains of theory, then the Anti-Sicilian Bb5 lines – more specifically, the Rossolimo (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5) and the Moscow (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.Bb5+) – might just be the way to go. They are easy to play and often can resemble a Ruy Lopez - not what Black is looking for. Even players such as Anand, Carlsen and Svidler regularly use it - and with excellent results. So in his latest series "New Ideas In…." GM Ronen Har-Zvi examines the Anti-Sicilian Bb5 lines. Learn More
$20.93Ronen's Opening Survey: The Caveman Caro-Kann: Advance variation (7 part series). B12: Caro-Kann: advance variation 4.h4 h6 5.g4. Gone are the days when the Advance variation in the Caro-Kann (1 e4 c6 2 d4 d5 3 e5) was thought to be a poor cousin to the French Advance - now it is arguably one of White's best ways to secure the advantage against the notoriously solid defense. And thanks to the likes of Nigel Short, Mickey Adams, Alexei Shirov and Peter Svidler et al., the White lines became so much more aggressive. These highly aggressive lines (with an early h4, g4 or Ne2) took a direct, almost bludgeoning approach to the game, so much so that it got coined as "The Caveman Caro-Kann: Advance variation." And in a new series, GM Ronen Har-Zvi trends the developments in all the sharpest lines. Learn More
$20.93Ronen's Opening Survey: London System (4 part series). A47: "King's Indian/London System with c4, King's Indian/London System (different games played)". In the King's Indian Defense, White has to memorize a labyrinth of variations if he hopes to have any real chance at walking away with an advantage. But the London System (1. d4 2. Nf3 3. Bf4) is an excellent way for amateurs to meet the King's Indian Defense - and for a bit more bite, White can adopt a big Boris Spassky favorite by playing the London System with c4 against the KID. Not only was it a weapon of Spassky's, it was also used by the likes of Kasparov, Bronstein and Smyslov. And in a new four-part series, GM Ronen Har-Zvi takes a closer look at playing the London System (with c4) as an Anti-King's Indian system. Learn More

(CBS News) BOCA RATON, Fla. - New fundraising figures out Saturday show this presidential race is on track to to be the first $1 billion campaign. Through the end of September, the Obama campaign raised a total of $558 million and the Romney campaign raised $357 million --and that's not including money raised by all the independent groups.
For now, both candidates are in seclusion, preparing for Monday's final debate in Boca Raton, Florida.
With just 17 days left until Election Day, the attacks have gotten sharper and more personal. And with both of the candidates doing debate prep, the vice president stepped in the void, and he kept slugging.
"I don't blame that baby for crying," said Vice President Joe Biden at an event in Florida. "That baby knows what's in store for him or her if Romney wins."
The vice president pulled out his "greatest hits," as he delivered montage of campaign attacks. "The president has a new term -- he calls it Romnesia," he said.
Ryan campaigns for coal votes in eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania
Biden: Crying baby "knows what's in store"
Biden even brought out an old one: Romney's investment history.
"It's a lot more than a Swiss bank account, a lot more than his accounts in Grand Cayman Islands," he said. "It's about being out of touch."
The Obama campaign has mounted a furious assault as Romney has taken the lead in several national polls--Gallup's latest has him up by six.
Polls also show Romney's support growing in swing states.
"Pennsylvania, you are going to help us elect Mitt Romney the next president of the United States, aren't you?" GOP vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan told an audience on Saturday.
Pennsylvania was leaning to the president, but Romney is gaining ground. Ryan made one of his first stops to the state, and campaign sources say they're considering spending money on television ads.
Later in battleground state Ohio, Ryan kept his remarks focused on big themes, his attacks centered on the president's policies.
"This is not just about jobs. It is not just about debt or the economy it is about the meaning of America," he said.
With less than three weeks to go, the biggest game changer of them all could be what happens Monday night--the third and final debate on foreign policy-- and it widely expected to be another monumental clash between the candidates.

With an increase within the popularity of outdated residence restoration, more individuals are relying upon the prevailing methods of their older properties and either fixing them or restoring them. Who couldn't bear in mind Tim Taylor's family from the hit American TELEVISION sitcom Residence Improvement? The famed Playboy mannequin starred as Lisa in the "Software Time" phase of the show. 4. Tim Allen: Starring as a modern day Mr. Repair It, Allen earned about $1.25 million per episode for House Enchancment.
Al is much more quiet, reserved, and extra knowledgeable about house enchancment skills, and whereas he begins out as something of a shy mama's boy, Al grows over the course of the show's eight seasons, finally marrying in the series finale.
The collection is based on the stand-up comedy routines of star Tim Allen. The sequence was nominated for seven Primetime Emmys throughout its run. His career slowed after the top of House Enchancment however he was nonetheless capable of decide up guest roles on a number of popular series including The Wild Thornberrys, The Simpsons, and Veronica Mars.
60 Jonathan Taylor Thomas made a cameo in the episode, taking part in Richardson's son. Of the three youngster stars on Residence Enchancment, nobody suffered the pitfalls of early fame more than Taran Noah Smith who performed Mark the youngest of Allen's on-display sons.
Al Borland (Richard Karn) was Tim Taylor's pal and lengthy-struggling co-host on the Instrument Time television show sponsored by Binford Tools. Eva Value and Sucker Love Productions are have announced that four-time Emmy nominee Patricia Richards on, who captured the hearts of American families for a decade on the hit tv present "Home Improvement", is returning to the stage as Mrs.

Your Vibration Does Matter
When I first began studying Feng Shui, one of the first basic rules I learned was: Everything is energy.
This rule brought me back to my college days in Chemistry class, many, many moons ago. The condensed version of what I learned: Everything surrounding us, seen and unseen, is a combination of molecules made up of vibrating atom particles. These molecules vibrate at certain frequencies – the slower the vibration of molecules, the more solid and heavy the mass – the higher the vibration, the lighter the mass. This includes light and sound waves (what we see and hear), and even our thoughts.
What does this mean to us in terms of improving the quality of life? Plenty! It means that everything around us is alive with energy, and therefore sends out a vibration that we can see, hear, smell, taste or feel. The challenge for us is to pay attention to how we are responding to that vibration. Does it make us feel good, bad or indifferent? What was pleasant a few months, or even years, ago may not be true now. What is a positive affirmation for one person may bring feelings of unhappiness to another. It is all about personal choices, which is a good thing. Can you imagine how boring life would be if all we saw were the same colored houses with identical cars parked in every driveway?
Feng Shui's goal is to create balance and harmony in our spaces so we can live better. Balancing the energy of a space means changing its vibration to support you.
Clutter creates a very low vibration. The energy of clutter feels heavy and stagnant. Spending too much time in a cluttered space will cause your own vibration to drop and become lethargic, even to the point of depression. That is why Feng Shui practitioners talk so much about de-cluttering spaces before changing anything else. You will be amazed at the energy shift just from performing this one activity!
Change your thoughts to improve the energy surrounding you. Negative thoughts = lower vibration, Positive thoughts = higher vibration!
Changing your focus from what isn't working in your life to what you appreciate about your life raises your vibration and improves your outlook. Imagine if you did this right before your clutter cleared or re-decorated a room. Your positive vibration will be imbued into that space and raise the overall feel of that room. Creating vision or dream boards, or decorating with photos and artwork that send you positive vibrations are quick ways to raise the vibration of a space as well.
The energy you surround yourself with is what you tend to vibrate back into the world. The point is to live with what you love and love what you live with. This also applies to people, but that's a whole other topic for another day!


text: Terabith 14,144 Posted October 25, 2019 Report Share Posted October 25, 2019 We've kinda accidentally stumbled into homeschooling high school, suddenly, in the middle of the semester in tenth grade. Frankly, other than English, precalc, and Spanish, we're probably not going to get any other subjects done this semester. She's thinking about taking a couple classes at the community college in the fall. One class will definitely be geology, and the other maybe college writing? Not sure yet. But that leaves us with a year without a social studies. She took Pre-AP world history last year at the public high school, which was basically up through middle ages. She was taking AP Human Geography until a week ago, but that's not going to happen. Next year the original plan was AP US history at the public high school, but with it being an election year, I could see it being a much more interesting time to take US government at the community college. Do US history her senior year instead. But...I took economics at the community college a couple years ago. It is super, SUPER boring. My kid doesn't have any interest in econ, either micro or macro. At all. And she loves geography. Could she take world geography instead and just not do economics? I know that leaves her with only 3 social studies credits, and that's probably not ideal. She's probably only going to have 3.5 years of science on her record, too, although the course she took in 8th grade "counted" for high school here in Virginia, as well. And 2.5 of those years will be dual enrollment. She might do a summer science class along the way; she enjoys science way more than social studies. It's not what we originally planned, but it's better than the nervous breakdown we were headed towards at public high school. I'm just wondering how serious an issue not having economics will be for colleges. I didn't have it in high school, but it wasn't even offered at my high school, back in the dark ages, in South Dakota. Link to post Share on other sites

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2222222 from Thick, Plush, Finest you'll find This is my 2nd time buying these. You can find sheepskins for a cheaper price, but you will swoon (truly) over the deep plushness of these Garnet Hill skins. I wish they still had pillow cases, and black, as I'd buy more! They're amazing.

Are sheepskin rugs included in THINK SPRING 25% discount?
Yes, this is included in the sale. See the "details" of the offer to see any exclusions.

can rug get wet
The rug is not designed to be used in areas where wetness and moisture can penetrate it (bath and tub rooms for example). If a spill occurs, the care instructions state to attend to spills and stains promptly.
Date published: 2020-01-11
Does this rug smell at all--either of chemicals or of sheep?
This rug definitely has an odor. I washed mine as instructions dictated to try to get it out, but it made it worse. As the rug dried and two weeks passed, the smell has reduced significantly- but it definitely had a smell and made me consider returning it, but luckily it dissipates with time.
Date published: 2019-12-22
Is this rug made in Australia or New Zealand or is the wool sourced from New Zealand and made in Chin or elsewhere?
The rug is made in China of Australian/New Zealand Sheepskin.
Date published: 2019-05-14
It states these sheepskin rugs are leather-backed. I would like to know if I still would need a rug pad underneath for the 4' by 6' size? I noticed you show the rugs pad item on the same page as the rug. Thank you.
We recommend the use of a rug underlay pad.
Date published: 2017-11-30
Would this rug work in a bathroom?
I love the look of this sheepskin rug and would like to use 2 of them in my master bath room. I plan to use the rugs as area rugs rather than actual bath mats. How do you think the sheepskin will fare in a bath room? Thank you.
As they are 100% wool, we would not recommend using in a room where they are likely to get wet.

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Two missiles believed to be fired by a U.S. unmanned aircraft killed 13 militants in Pakistan's tribal region, a local intelligence official said Sunday.
The casualties Saturday included Taliban commander Abdur Rehman, who is part of a network that operates in Afghanistan.
The incident took place in the Saidgi village in North Waziristan, according to the official, who asked to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
The official said the drone strike target was a house. The United States does not offer comment on reported drone attacks. However, the United States is the only country operating in the region known to have the ability to launch missiles from drones, which are controlled remotely.
Elsewhere in Pakistan, at least 21 people were injured Saturday night when a roadside bomb exploded in southern Karachi, authorities said. The incident occurred as a Shiite Muslim procession ahead of the holy day of Ashura on Sunday was expected to pass through that area, police said.
A government official and five of his children were killed Sunday by a bomb blast in Pakistan's troubled northwest, authorities said.
The device was planted outside the home of Sarfaraz Khan, an official who helped administer the Sadda area in Kurram.
Kurram is one of seven districts that make up the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in the country.
The 2 a.m. attack also wounded three other Khan family members: two women and a child, officials said.
The government is in the midst of an intense army offensive to rout militants from their haven along the country's border with Afghanistan -- where the tribal areas are located. The militants, in turn, have launched a series of deadly attacks inside the country in retaliation.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for Sunday's attack.
At least five people were killed and dozens were injured in a suicide bombing and separate gas line explosion in Pakistan Sunday, officials said.
A suicide bomber blew himself up at a checkpoint at the entrance to a mosque in Muzaffarabad, in northeast Pakistan, Muzaffarabad Deputy Commissioner Chaudhry Impiaz Ahmed told CNN.
Three policemen and two others were killed and 81 were injured in the blast, 10 of those in critical condition, he said.
Muzaffarabad is the capital of Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
As many as 22 injuries were reported in an earlier blast in Karachi.
Investigators concluded that the blast was not a bomb, but a gas line explosion, Karachi Police Chief Waseem Ahmed told CNN.
The injured were transported to area hospitals, police said.

Striker Benni McCarthy exits West Ham by mutual consent
Last updated on .From the section Football
South Africa striker Benni McCarthy has left West Ham after having his contract terminated by mutual consent.
The 33-year-old struggled to make an impact at Upton Park, failing to score in his 14 appearances after arriving from Blackburn on 1 February 2010.
A statement on the club website read: "West Ham United have mutually agreed with Benni McCarthy to part company with immediate effect.
"The club would like to wish Benni the best for the future."
McCarthy made only two Premier League starts during his 14-month spell at West Ham.
The former Porto forward was left out of manager Avram Grant's 25-man squad for the second half of this season following the signings of Robbie Keane and Demba Ba.

Mark Taffet, pioneer behind HBO PPV, will leave the network at year's end
Less than a month after HBO Sports president Ken Hershman announced his decision to leave the network at the end of the year, HBO has lost another key figure in its sports department. Mark Taffet, senior vice president in charge of pay-per-view, has decided to leave HBO, effective at the end of the year.
Taffet, 58, is a pioneer of the pay-per-view model and one of the most respected minds in the sport. He's overseen north of 190 pay-per-view events that have generated over 65 million buys and $3.6 billion in revenue. He leaves behind the legacy of an executive who, along with former HBO executive Lou DiBella, launched HBO PPV in 1991 and shepherded the record-breaking fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio that registered 4.6 million buys.
In an interview with SI.com, Taffet says the recent turnover at HBO helped him to reevaluate his career path.
"At this point in my life and career I want to do some things with promoters and fighters that are going to be part of the next generation of boxing," Taffet says. "I want to do things in a more specific way than I would most likely be doing at HBO. It's a great time to sharpen my focus on something that's a little different and important to the sport."
SI.com's pound-for-pound rankings: Triple G, Canelo Alvarez are on the rise
"I have been thinking about this for a while. My contract expires at the end of this year. I have been so blessed to work on so many events in so many eras. The contributions I can make on the other side of the playing field will give me great satisfaction. I have had a magnificent life at HBO. I've loved my job. I have the best job in the world. I just concluded that I would be happier and would be able to make a greater contribution on the other side."
In the immediate aftermath of Hershman's resignation, there was speculation that Taffet could be in line to replace him. Taffet was a candidate to replace Ross Greenburg when Greenburg resigned as president of HBO Sports in 2011. The job went to Hershman, and Taffet signed an extension to continue in his current role. In recent weeks it has become clear that Taffet was not the first choice to replace Hershman.
Asked what role the likelihood of losing out on the top job for a second time played in his decision, Taffet was succinct.
"None. Absolutely nothing," Taffet says. "I have always joked with my bosses that I loved my job so much, that I always felt that I had the best job in the world. I believe that today. My job has given me incredible opportunities. Ken's leaving HBO helped me crystallize my decision a bit. Of course I have thought over the years the challenge the top position might offer but it has never been something that factored into my decision for working at HBO."
paused and said, "I don't want to get into the specifics of that."
With Taffet moving on, the overhaul of HBO Sports will continue. The network's boxing programming is in a good place. Nine of the top ten fighters on SI.com's pound-for-pound list are tied to HBO. Ratings are up and the network is headed into 2016 with the possibility of huge matchups (Andre Ward/Sergey Kovalev; Canelo Alvarez/Gennady Golovkin) headlining its pay-per-view slate. Manny Pacquiao is expected to return and HBO has young, active fighters like Terence Crawford and Roman Gonzalez to build live broadcasts around.
There is a strong likelihood that HBO will look in-house to fill its vacancies. With Taffet gone, Peter Nelson, HBO's VP of Programming, has emerged as the frontrunner to replace Hershman. Nelson is a rising star in the boxing business. He has a keen eye for talent—he was a driving force behind bringing Gennady Golovkin to the network—and the respect of the boxing promoters, as well as enormous internal support. HBO also has Tammy Ross, a widely respected member of the pay-per-view department, as a qualified replacement for Taffet.

Following yesterday's news of his improved condition, BIGBANG's T.O.P and his family have made the decision to have him moved to a different hospital.
YG Entertainment released an official announcement on June 9 and said, "We are deeply apologetic to the patients who have been inconvenienced for the past couple of days," referencing the large influx of reporters who had gathered at the Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital.
They continued to state, "The hospital's medical team made the recommendation that T.O.P should be moved from the intensive care unit to the general ward. However, his guardian requested that he be moved to a different facility that has single patient rooms to make visiting him a smoother process. We will not be releasing the name of the new hospital as we wish to avoid the situation we faced at the first hospital. We ask for your understanding."
T.O.P was discharged four days after he was first admitted. He was escorted out of the hospital in a wheelchair, and was heard saying, "I'm sorry" as he left.
We truly hope that T.O.P is able to rest well and recover fully.

Organic Standards for salmon require farming
conditions to be as close as possible to nature,
having regard for food safety, animal welfare, and
environmental sustainability.
ISPG working in close co-operation with its producers pioneered Irish Organic Salmon Farming on the west coast of Ireland..
ISPG is a verified member of the Origin Green Sustainability Programme. Created by Bord Bia, Origin Green is Ireland's national food sustainability programme.
It brings together the entire food industry with a common goal: sustainable food production. That means the production of safe, nutritious food ...
ISO 9001-2008 accredited, ISPG is dedicated to delivering the finest quality product to our customers, satisfying the criteria of their specifications and highest industry standards.
Each shipment of fish is accompanied by a comprehensive product traceability sheet which details the life history of that batch of fish.
We at the Connemara smokehouse have dealt with ISPG for many years and find the quality of their fish to be very good.
Quality is the most important thing for us in our business and it is so important for us to have suppliers that we can depend on. ISPG are very good to deal with and are able to provide us with the high specification that we look for.
I would have no hesitation in recommending ISPG to anyone looking for high quality organic salmon." - Graham Roberts, Connemara Smokehouse.

Hands For A Billion Lives Demonstration
On Saturday October 22nd at 2:22pm at the Utah State Capitol and in hundreds of locations world-wide at the exact same time in their time zone, communities joined hands in silent demonstration. Today, we joined hands as a visual demonstration of support for the 1 billion smokers who will die needlessly due to smoking-related disease if our government insists on overregulation and taxation thereby destroying the only hope of stopping over 480,000 deaths in the US.
A new award winning and Oscar nominated documentary "A Billion Lives" tells the history about collusion and corruption between our government, health agencies and big industry set to kill off the vaping industry and seal the fate of 1 billion smokers worldwide. This movie is premiering on November 3rd in Salt Lake City and the community is standing up for the truth that scientists around the world are saying can save lives.
We ask for everyone's support of the public's right to accurate and evidence based information on vapor products thereby allowing them to choose a safer alternative for themselves and their loved ones. Please see the short 3 minute video below of our demonstration on the capitol grounds.
Stories from our community:
From LM Fisher: Today, my husband Kevin Fisher & I participated in Hands for a Billion Lives here in Utah at the state capitol. We are glad that we went!
I wanted to remember and honor our dear friend Fiamma Palermo, who lost her battle to lung cancer in May this year, 2016. Although going through many months of chemo & radiation, the cancer in her lungs, from 55 years of smoking cigarettes prevailed. Fiamma (aka Karen Lee, aka Sweets) was a positive force in the vaping industry and a big advocate for it. Proof that vaping works, proof that smoking cigarettes kill, even though she had stopped smoking. Proof that vaping can help, as it added much valued time to her life, that was ultimately cut short from her years of smoking.
She cared for each and every one of us who vape, and specially cared to get cigarette smokers transitioned into vaping. Fiamma touched many many of our lives. May you rest in peace dear friend! We are always grateful the our paths crossed!
From Michael Gene:
Day 77, admission, and 3 part post.
I wish I could say that day 77 has left me 100% smoke free but it hasn't. In the last 3 weeks I've smoked a total of 5 cigarettes, last one yesterday at work. 56 days straight and then I slipped a bit, but I didn't fall flat on my face. And, that's OK, I've never professed to be perfect, only human, and extremely motivated when I take on an endeavor of personal change. The only other one greater was changing me in order to give my kids the best life possible as a single father. So, in a way they are one in the same endeavor.
Say what you will about vaping, there's plenty of jokes about it, but it's not a fad for me. It's been the tool that has kept my from lighting up 2305 times since I committed 77 days ago. It could have been 2310 times, but those 5 snuck in there. That's a 0.21645% failure rate on my part. Or, better yet, a 99.78355% success rate in 77 days for a man that smoked for 31 years. Vaping as the best NRT for me, yeah it is working. You either support me or you don't, if you don't, well you don't put the food on the table or the roof over my kids heads, I do.
Now, I recognize that I left two huge holes in my post so let me sew those up. It's not a joke to me, it's not funny, I'm adding potential years back on my life, so go be funny somewhere else if you're gonna make a stupid joke in reply. And two, for anyone that is going to reply and say something about being addicted to nicotine, well, here's food for thought. The nicotine I do intake vaping is much, much less harmful for me physically than the food we eat off of store shelves. And, tenfold less harmful than that fast food meal. So, to all the naysayers, educate yourself, and look at your personal habits before you comment, ever again about my vape posts.
To all the NRT vapers out there, this is to you.
Butson out….
From Kevin Fisher:
My wife LM Fisher and I spent part of our afternoon in a silent protest at our states capital in Salt Lake City UT to have access to a safer alternative to tobacco products!
The picture below is my Mom and Dad James and Nora Fisher. Both of my parents passed away from smoking related illnesses. It is no secret that I am a vaper and I am very proud to be so. My mom passed away in 2006 and my dad followed in 2008. Both had quick smoking 4 or 5 years before their passing. I honest believe that if they had the choice/freedom to choose a healthier alternative I might of had more time on this earth with them. My dad is retired military (USN) passed away from lung cancer, this was probably the most difficult thing to ever witness in my life…..I am smoke free thanks to vaping, I am almost nicotine free thanks to vaping.
I know if they were still with us today they would be very proud of the demon I have conquered.

Thanks to the hard work by UTSFA member Riverwalk Vapors, Salt Lake City will have a 2nd showing for A Billion Lives.
The United Nations' World Health Organization projects that a billion people will die this century from smoking. This award winning and Oscar contending documentary highlights the lies and corruption by top governments and health agencies around the world intent on allowing smokers to die all in the name of money.
Big brother has lied again…They're trying to force an entire industry out of business that is helping people to stop smoking. ~ Herman Cain
The truth about the corruption will be aired at 10pm on Thursday November 10th at Brewvies Cinema Pub in Salt Lake City. Smoking related disease kills Utah smokers at a rate of nearly 5 times that of the opioid epidemic and our state is not doing enough to fix the problem.
"The makers of this film did their due diligence, the narrative of this movie is immaculate." ~Kevin Crowley

The ticket fees cover the cost of the theater rental, fees for distribution (Tugg), production company costs and a percentage of the ticket sales are returned to the Utah Smoke Free Association to support statewide advocacy.
We encourage everyone in the community to reach out directly to their elected representatives to alert them to this premier and suggest they make the time to view it. The UTSFA is happy to provide tickets to them at no cost to them or the taxpayers but they will need to request it directly from us.

Hands for A Billion Lives
The Utah vaping family is invited to participate in a one of a kind GLOBAL call to action. We are asking for EVERY vaper in Utah to join together at the Utah State Capitol (South steps) on Saturday October 22nd at exactly 2:22 pm (need to be early so you can be in place by this time). At this exact time, vapers from around the world will be joining hands in solidarity to support the estimated 1 billion lives that will be lost this century due to smoking related disease. This event is not sponsored by any single industry organization to demonstrate the power we have as a community to come together to help save lives.
This movement is about exposing the threat to a billion lives from over-regulation of the vapor products, which will shut down 99% of the vapor industry and deny access to these products to Americans who would otherwise smoke. Today, We are building a wall to protect those billion lives who will die needlessly due to smoking-related disease if our government refuses to allow these products to remain on the market.
This will be a silent protest about exposing the threat to a billion lives from over-regulation of the vapor products, which will shut down 99% of the vapor industry and deny access to these products to Americans who would otherwise smoke.
On this day, we are building a wall to protect those billion lives who will die needlessly due to smoking-related disease if our government refuses to allow these products to remain on the market.
Some rules for the event that we ask everyone to please follow:
- This is a peaceful SILENT movement. No outburst, chanting, rallying. We can't deliver the message that we are forming a wall to protect a billion lives and look positive and caring if we are ranting and raving about how the FDA sucks.
- Every person is responsible for their neighbor. Each of you are in charge of your neighbor and their actions. If your neighbor starts to act out, take action to help stop their behavior. Guilt works amazingly. "Hey, it is your responsibility to represent the community and you are making us look as irresponsible as they think we are. Stop. Show them we don't want people to die, not that you want to kill someone."
- Everyone is to direct media inquires to Shilo Platts, co-President of SFATA Utah. We want to deliver the exact same message across the country so it's important that he be the ONLY media contact for this event.
- For this brief period it is imperative that we are not blowing clouds, doing vape tricks, etc. Remember why we all got into vaping and what the industry stands for (hint: it's NOT clouds brah).
If you are a store owner, please print this flyer and place it on the tasting bar, next to your register and on your doors. Make sure your employees talk to all your customers about it. If you are a consumer, we encourage you to bring your significant others or family members with you that are old enough to understand what our industry is all about. Lastly, we are asking anyone who has lost a friend or family member as a consequence of tobacco-related illness to bring a picture of that individual with them to the protest.
To join the event, please register your interest on the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1346568058710382/

Utah regulatory rules update meeting
This meeting is open to everyone in the Utah vapor industry to get a comprehensive update on our existing laws & regulations and get a view into the future for what is coming down the path affecting our industry. If you own a business and want to remain in business after July 1 2016, it will be in your best interest to attend to understand how regulations will affect you. Please note, this is NOT a vape meet and no alcohol will be allowed or served.
Many of the retailers throughout the valley will be shutting down for this meeting. While a loss in sales for a day is nothing we want for any of our local retailers, the permanent loss in sales is more devastating and they want to try and make sure this doesn't happen. Signs will be posted on the doors of all retailers who are participating in the shutdown in advance so you all know who are taking part in the shutdown.
Anyone who owns a Utah vapor industry business, is employed by the industry or who wishes to break into the industry. This is a public event so anyone with an interest in what is going on or those who would like to get involved and help out should attend as well.
What's being discussed?
We'll cover all the existing laws in the state to make sure everyone understands the legalities of operating correctly. We will discuss the recent introduction of HB415 and how that affects everyone. We will also discuss upcoming county and state level regulations from the health department along with regulations in other states (specifically Texas, Indiana & California) which affect anyone selling nationally.

Wyoming Vape Meet
On Saturday April 25th from 5pm to Midnight, our vaping brethren from Wyoming are hosting their 2nd annual statewide vape meet (https://www.facebook.com/WyomingVapeMeet). Don't let the location fool you, these vapers know how to throw down. At last year's event, they had nearly 400 vapers attend in a small apartment complex clubhouse. This year is going to be bigger, badder and lots more fun.
This event is being sponsored by our good friends at Straight-Line Vapors and Steam Vapor Company with exhibitors from all over the state. They will have a cloud comp, vape trick contest, juice tasting, tons of prizes, DJ, food and drinks and much more. The Utah Smoke Free Association has also been asked to come speak to the crowd about advocacy and to help keep their boots marching.
We know this is a LONG haul out to Cheyenne and it's the weekend before Vape Summit but how many times can you get 2 big events within a driving distance of Utah? Let's show our vaping family in Wyoming some of that love and crash their party! 2 of the UT Smoke Free Association board members will be leaving SLC early Saturday morning to make the drive so if you want join in our convoy, just let us know!
You'll probably want to grab a hotel while you are there because the ranch is fully booked up. So to make it easy, here's a map of all the hotels nearby. The Quality Inn is the closest to the ranch and is about a 15 minute drive down highway 87 but certainly there are many options just a few minutes further North.
The Vape Summit III
The Vape Summit provides an amazing opportunity to connect with industry professionals and providers of vaping products and services. In addition to access to resources for raw materials, suppliers, distributors, and name brand products, The Vape Summit will be highlighting new releases, product exclusives, and limited time discounts only available during the event. Those who are interested in gaining more information, education, or insight into the vaping industry may also benefit from the event, including investors, celebrities seeking endorsements, and other interested parties. At The Vape Summit 3, many important announcements and industry initiatives will also be unveiled.
The Las Vegas Convention Center will take center stage as The Vape Summit takes over the North Hall which is over 350,000+ sq ft and over 500 vendors are expected to exhibit their product.
Utah will make a HUGE impact at this event with the first ever state section of a national vape event. So far, the following Utah businesses will be setting up at the event (some may not be in the dedicated Utah section); Vape Affliction, VC Wholesale, Diehards, Leo Liquid, Humble Wick & Wire, OVapes, Doc Mod, Vape Star, Diamond Wire, Urban Vapor, Peak Vapors, Twisted Juice, Tronic and more! There will be numerous product launches not only from around the country, but from Utah as well. If you can only attend one event a year, this is the one to plan for! We expect well over 150 Utah vaping aficionados to make the trek down to Las Vegas for the event so it's a trip of all trips.
Event Details
Thursday, April 30, 2015 – Saturday, May 02, 2015
Thursday and Friday will be strictly a business to business expo with the consumer expo opening on Saturday May 2nd (or possibly the afternoon of the 1st).

Choose what you prefer however many of the Utah delegation are staying on Freemont Street at the 4 Queens. If you would like to stay at the 4 Queens, just call the hotel (800-634-6045 Press 1 for Reservations) and ask to be placed under the group reservation for the "Utah Vapers" group. You will want to confirm before booking to make sure there are still rooms in the reserved block.

Wellcome Trust HRB Clinical Research Facility at St. James's Hospital
The Clinical Research Facility (CRF) is a partnership between Trinity College Dublin (TCD) and St. James's Hospital and is funded by the Wellcome Trust and the HRB. The 1,400m2 facility opened in October 2013 and is located in the heart of St. James's Hospital. The CRF is specially designed to facilitate high quality innovative clinical research aimed at understanding diseases and translating new knowledge and treatments into better patient care. It has regular clinical rooms and a 6-bed day ward that fulfill the needs of many studies but has specialist resources to accommodate more complex study requirements including positive and negative pressure isloation rooms; a Faraday cage for high quality electrophysiology; a sample processing laboratory; an exercise physiology suite and a research pharmacy with a state of the art containment and compounding cleanroom. The advantage of conducting trials in a dedicated clinical research facility is that the focus therein is primarily on the conduct of the trial and is separated from busy routine clinical care activity. The guiding principle of the SJH CRF is to provide investigators with a range of resources and support services to enable the conduct of innovative and experimental clinical research involving patients in a dedicated, safe and well regulated environment.

- Award for equestrian sport of up to £19,635,180
- Investment endorses success to date and underpins ambitious process of change
- World Championships in 2018 represent first milestone in building for Tokyo
Today's announcement of the UK Sport funding for the four-year Tokyo cycle sees equestrian sport awarded a total investment (WCP + APA) of up to £19,635,180, representing up to £15,361,769 for Olympic sport and up to £4,273,411 for Paralympic sport. Equestrianism is one of 31 sports awarded funding for 2017-2021.
The award, in particular, endorses the success of our world-leading Paralympic team, with its unbeaten track record and continued success on the world stage.
Clare Salmon, Chief Executive of the British Equestrian Federation (BEF) says; "UK Sport's confidence in the BEF's Tokyo strategy is recognition of both the World Class Programme's success in the last cycle and the ambitious strategic change we are putting in place to build-on a winning culture across all the disciplines.
"UK Sport's continued support for equestrianism – through funding from the National Lottery and Exchequer – is an endorsement of the achievements on the world stage of our athletes, horses, support teams, owners and member bodies. Over the last six weeks, we have taken real strides to demonstrate our commitment to a step change. We are conscious that the performance bar is going up all the time and equestrian sport cannot be complacent. So in that competitive context and a challenging funding landscape, we are delighted to see such positive recognition of our sport continue.
"With news of our award, our attention now turns to consolidating our strategy. We also recognise that we have to create a sustainable funding stream to complement UK Sport's grant and have irresistible opportunities for sponsors to be part of equestrian sport's ambitions. The World Championships in 2018 represents the first milestone as we build towards Tokyo, and the development of a more tailored coaching programme, with greater emphasis on sports science, will underpin our preparations and enable us to focus on maintaining our winning edge.
"This is an exciting time for our sport, with our recent announcement of a new direction for coaching in eventing with the appointments of Chris Bartle and Richard Waygood; and the recruitment process now underway for a new Performance Director for the World Class Programme. To further build our performance management team, we will soon be recruiting for the pivotal new role of Head of Performance Support, jointly funded by the EIS, to specifically enhance our work around performance sports science."
Other roles soon to be advertised include a Head of Pathways, along with Performance Managers for Dressage and Para-Equestrian Dressage. Later today, we will announce the 2016-2018 intake to our World Class Podium Potential squad.

Brilliant! Here is a unique take on family portraits by an Italian photographer, Camilla Catrambone. Instead of snapping photos of individual family members, she created a portrait of each loved one through a selection of their signature possessions that are characteristic to them. How uniquely genius and distinctive, wouldn't you say?
What would you have on your photo? (On mine, among other things, there would probably be a piece of super stinky cheese, my old teddy that I got from my dad when I was little, a lipstick, and probably some coffee).
P.S: Plus, Skype family reunions and this awesome family photo:)

WHile 2,000 Sinn Féin delgates packed into the Waterfront Hall on Saturday, over 210,000 viewers watched Gerry Adams' address live on RTé during its peak, with an average of 180,000 viewers during the half-hour address.
With Adams' speech also going out on BBC2 and RTé covering the Saturday morning session, the party hogged the headlines with the announcement that Sinn Féin will back a candidate for the Presidential race next month.
The Ard Fheis was held for the first time in the North and the Louth TD welcomed the Ballymurphy and Springhill Massacre families as well as the McGurk Bar relatives who were also in attendance.
Mr Adams said that the Ard Fheis being held in Belfast was a "big deal".
"And it's a big deal for me as a Belfast citizen who has been elected by the people of Louth to be with you," he added.
In his speech Gerry Adams commended the work of outgoing President Mary McAleese and her husband Martin "both citizens of this city".
"Next month the people will elect a new President of Ireland – but once again citizens in the North will not have the right to vote."
"This must change. Citizens from all parts of Ireland must be able to vote in Presidential elections. Irish citizens living abroad – as is the case with many other states – should have the right to vote also. The Presidency is not a trophy for the political establishment," he said.
Speaking after the event, West Belfast MP Paul Maskey commended those who had organised "this very successful Ard Fheis".
"Sinn Féin's Belfast operation and beyond did our party proud with our annual meeting," he told the Andersonstown News.
"The entire hall was filled to capacity and we had people from all over Ireland and visitors from America, the Basque Country, Palestine and other parts of the world in attendance to take part in this historical event in the North of Ireland."

Archbishop says faith important to young people in schools
Comments follow Ruairí Quinn's remarks about diverting time allocated to religion
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin: "Just think of the pressures that young people, especially vulnerable young people, face today." Photograph: Cyril Byrne
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin has told religious congregations in the archdiocese that "when we talk about meaning and hope . . . there is a vast challenge which the wisdom of age and experience and a depth of faith can bring to young people" in schools.
Recalling that the number of religious in schools today was minimal, he asked: "How do you reactivate in your lives today that passion for caring for young people that your founders and foundresses had?"
His comments follow a suggestion in the past fortnight by Minister for Education Ruairí Quinn that time allocated for the teaching of religion in schools might be better used to teach literacy and numeracy.
Mr Quinn was asked at the annual conference of the Irish Primary Principals' Network where teachers would find the time to implement the initiatives he was planning. He said: "I would like it to be out of the 30 minutes a day for religious education." Mr Quinn said he wanted to see progress on the divesting of religious institutions from primary schools, which was agreed with the church under the terms of the forum on patronage and pluralism in the primary sector in 2011.
Archbishop Martin at Mass in Terenure College, Dublin, on Monday night, said: "Today, the number of religious directly involved in teaching and management in schools is minimal.
"Good religious were never just managers and administrators of schools: the good religious teacher was someone who played a vital role in the life of a young person, a name that the young person remembered fondly for their entire life.
"The church urgently needs to find new ways not just of denouncing what is wrong, but of being – within all those in society – of being travelling companions with young people in their search for their true selves, for values which transcend and for the ability of how to say no."
Archbishop Martin appeared to be referring to the death of Jonny Byrne from Leighlinbridge, Co Carlow, who was taken from the river Barrow on Sunday morning.
His death has been linked to a social media drinking craze known as neknomination. It involves people filming themselves drinking large quantities of alcohol, mainly spirits, posting the video online, and nominating someone else to do the same.
"When we talk about meaning and hope, about the fundamentals, about what life is about, the sense of goodness and truth, and where young people anchor the values of their lives, there is a vast challenge which the wisdom of age and experience and a depth of faith can bring to young people.
"Just think of the pressures that young people, especially vulnerable young people, face today: from their peers, from the complex culture of social media, from a culture of drink; and how even one mistake can possibly ruin a life. Examples abound as we have seen tragically in these days."

Princess Stories Real Bible Stories of God's Princesses Book Review
Princess Stories Real Bible Stories of God's Princesses by Carolyn Larsen. This is a great book to show young girls that they are special and that everyone has a gift to give from God. I wished I had this book growing up. You hear about the great men of the Bible, but I never knew all the wonderful women of the Bible. It also encourages young girls and builds confidence in showing how each woman was special in God's eyes and his plan. Each story tells of a different princess in her own words about her life. For example, there is The Forgiven Princess (the woman at the well) and The Brave Princess (Rahab). The illustrations are colorful and girly. There are also Princess Ponderings that ask your little princess thoughtful questions such as "Have you ever been very brave? What happened?"
My daughter loved this book and almost read it all the way through when she first received it. It is very easy to read and understand.
Rating: 5/5

As tension escalates over the disputed territory of Kashmir, David and Irene Black have reluctantly taken Government advice and are returning to their home in Merrow.
The pair had been working and living at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore since November 2001, and had made many friends in the region.
They had planned to return to the UK next month, but had to leave following stern advice from Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, who this week told all Britons to leave the country as soon as possible.
Speaking on her way out of India, a stunned Mrs Black said: "We had planned a leisurely wind-down of our work in Bangalore, and then a short trip down south to Coorg, and onto Wynad Wild Life sanctuary in Kerala.
"But then on Friday evening last week we tuned into BBC's World Service. The news left us stunned.
"The tension in Jammu-Kashmir was escalating. Pakistan's General Pervez Musharraf and Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee were posturing and making warlike noises.
"All British nationals in India were being told to leave. It was frightening."
Jack Straw issued a warning last week that all British nationals should consider leaving India and Pakistan.
Following an increase of military exchanges and suicide bombings that advice was altered, as Mr Straw told ex-pats it was essential to get out before the tension boils over.
India accuses Pakistan of allowing Islamic militants to infiltrate Indian areas of Kashmir and attack Indian security forces.
The rift is seen as the closest the world has come to nuclear war since the last, and only, exchange of nuclear weapons in Hiroshima.
Mrs Black added: "We have made lots of Indian friends – they are dumbfounded. There's a feeling among Indians of over-reaction on the part of foreign governments.
"But at the same time there seems to be a feeling that it's time for India to take decisive action against the terrorist incursions.
"We have tried to explain to our friends why this precaution had been deemed necessary. But the leaders' rhetoric out there changes daily.
"While the uncertainty remains we fully understand that the FCO has had no option but to issue the advice to leave."
Mr and Mrs Black plan to return to Bangalore once the situation has been resolved to continue their scientific work.
Neighbours at Grasmere Close, Guildford, told of a "nice quiet" couple, who are frequent travellers abroad.
Many neighbours knew they had gone to India, but none had heard from them since their departure.
Mr and Mrs Black are due home sometime today (Friday).
