Good evening fellow bloggers. After a comment i received i realised i may have offended some people. It made me re-read my previous post and i saw that it could be misinterpreted. I do understand why some people stay inside the closet. I have even advised people to do that in the past. It has to do with the given circumstances and of course the personality of each and every pagan.
What i meant, that was probably understood by most of you who follow my blog, but not from the rest of my readers, is that it is MY OWN personal path to be open about my practices. Since it is something i have talked in the past, i believed in and came from my heart I felt "hypocritical, like a liar and of course shameful". I did n't mean, in any case that it is shameful to hide your spiritual path. On the contrary, someone's choice to come out, is not something to be taken lightly. There will be concequences. It is inevitable to get a little bit hurt by someone's reaction.
That being told, it has a lot of advantages. There is a feeling of unique freedom when you do not have to supress yourself anymore. And also you learn a lot about those close to you and they learn a lot from you.
In my case, it was easier than i thought. It felt good, natural and i realised i was finally on my path. MY OWN path. I feel like i have to break as much the superstitions around witchcraft as possible. I do not believe everyone should , or could do it for that matter. It feels TO ME a noble cause. There have been some hardships for me also. But there were many that surprised me in a wonderful way. I realised that people would love me for who i really was and if they could n't, their love was n't real after all. That is the hardest lesson of a "coming out" pagan.
Despite those discouraging things, i certainly believe that coming out helps us grow as witches. I am saying that from personal experience and from what i heard from others. But everything i said makes sense only for people in liberal countries with religious freedom(someone mentioned something about getting physically hurt).
So, here are some tips if you decide that:
1. Do it slowly. Try coming out to just one person and see how it goes, how it makes you feel and how it makes them feel.
2. Find a person that seems "open" to "confess" for the first time.
3. Explain everything. Some things that you consider simple might indeed be completely new for someone else.
4. Remember and remind them that you are still the same person. They are just discovering a new side of you.
Good luck whatever you decide.
Brightest blessings,
To come out or not?
Good evening fellow bloggers. After a comment i received i realised i may have offended some people. It made me re-read my previous post and i saw that it could be misinterpreted. I do understand why some people stay inside the closet. I have even advised people to do that in the past. It has to do with the given circumstances and of course the personality of each and every pagan.
A witch's pride and Touched by Pagan Culture
Good morning fellow witches. It is a cloudy day here in Athens. I guess this should teach everyone who complained about the early summer. I have a confession to make and i hope you will all cut me some slack. Here is the whole story.
I have been with a friend this Saturday who is having a party this Friday. She is a lovely girl who has a weird dad. When she invited me to her party she asked me not to tell anyone about my work, because the information could somehow reach her dad. This means to lie about being a psychic and of course about being a witch. I was caught of guard and i said yes. By this point whoever is calling me names such as hypocrite, liar, shameful etc should remember to cut me some slack! I have always being out and about but i did n't want to hurt her feelings. Although my whole attitude towards life is to honestly talk about my spirituality so i can fight prejudice in all its forms, i found myself considering the possibility.
I am proud of being a witch. I will not lie about it, for anyone 's shake. If the only sacrifice i have to make is to not attend a party, great. I have made much bigger sacrifices till now. But i can't get rid of all the guilt for not instantly making that decision. I keep asking myself, what is wrong with me. Where did my morals go? Next thing you know i will hide my pentagramm inside my blouse. I might be overreacting(do n't you Pah-hah me!), but this situation affected me deeply. I am not hurt, because i have had to deal with so many different reactions in the past that taught me to be cool about it.
So, religious fanatics, curious strangers, friends with issues bring them on. I will never-ever hide my identity. I appreciate this valuable lesson and i will let this experience help me grow as a witch and most importantly as a person.
In an attempt to redeem myself i am making a list of the top five reasons i am proud of being a witch.
1.Paganism brought me closer to nature and gave me perspective on what's important. It led to me to being attuned with the cycles of life through my love for the Goddess.
2.It is in my blood. It is my legacy. It is the very thing that tighs me with my ancestors(well at least from my mother's side).It gave a sense of being part of something greater than me.
3.Wicca gave a moral campus not just for witchcraft but for life in general. The ways you can "translate" the Rede are infinite.
4.Witchcraft helped me improve my life and consider growing as an ongoing process for as i long as i live this life and those that follow.
5.Magic. The wonders, the beauty, the love and the light magic brings in my everyday life transform the mundane into the extraordinary. Magic brings me everytime a step closer to my inner truth.The chase of a rainbow.
What are your reasons of pagan pride?
Bightest blessings,
Ps. I would also like to welcome all the new readers from PaganCulture. I hope all the fellow Wicked Darlings will love it here. Thank you Magaly for this honour. I am touched(pun intended)! Whoever has n't already, should visit Magaly's blog right away(once again i failed in inserting a link so here is the URL http://pagan-culture.blogspot.com). She is great.
Keeping the light alive...
Last night was a very windy night. It was the new moon and i slept listening to the beautiful sounds of my wind chimes(i have about a hundred). I felt relaxed, calm, centered and grounded. The wonderful breeze was coming from my open window and it felt as if She was keeping me into Her arms. They are weird the things that help you connect.
Right now it feels like it is about to rain. The air smells like rain and i am experiencing the sensation of a storm that is about to come. An ugly thought tried to make its way to my heart, but i stopped it. There is no room there right now for stress. I know everything is going to be okay and work itself out.
I am just going to keep listening to the sounds of my wind chimes and feel again that i am into Her arms. And if a storm comes a real or a metaphoric one i will deal with it. Because now i know that strenth does not come from enduring difficulties but from retaining the ability to love during those hardships. Keeping the light alive during darkness.
I was just thinking that from just one word i made into my mind a whole catastrophic scenario. You got to admit it is some sort of talent. In a split second to see the worst possible way things could advance. But you know what, i am an optimist. It is easy to be brave and positive when you can't see the difficulties that may appear. It is far more difficult to take a deep breath and "believe".
Since it is a windy day and the moon is waxing i think it is time for the leaf. I will cut a big, beautiful leaf and write on it the things i want for me in the immediate future. Then i will let it fly away from me. I will do it during the night. I will have a burning candle on my side and love into my heart.
I hope you will do it too. And who knows? Maybe our leaves will meet into the air and travel the road to heaven.
Brightest blessings,
Direct motions, pendulums and happy thoughts
Greetings to all the blogland. I am finally over my funk. I have forgotten how good it was to feel relaxed, calm and relatively stress free. The fact that i am back to normal, besides the usual techniques and soul searching is also a bit thanks to all of you, my beautiful, wonderful, patient readers. Although i was n't commenting as much as i used to, i read and read. You gave me comfort with your words, your general thoughts and with sharing the ways you deal with everyday, mundane stuff. So thank you once again for being the best therapists in the world.
Onto our magical (un)usual talk now... Mercury is finally in direct motion so our lives should be a lot easier from now on. We can finally think clearly(or so we should), say what we want, when we want to and make it sound exactly the way we mean it! Thank Goddess for that! Now we can make decisions that will not blow up in our faces and not have to deal with anymore small, but still nerve wrecking accidents(the glasses that i broke the last two weeks could serve the needs of a big restaurant!).
Anyhoo, i would like today to talk about pendulums. They are great for divinational purposes and also for directing energy. If you want them to unblock chakras clear quartz and even rainbow crystalls are great. Just hold it in front of your blockage and let it vibrate the negativity away. But if you want to use one for divination, although amethyst is great, the best choice is black obsidian. I love that rock! It is powerful.
Also, i am sure you have all seen wooden pendulum boards and they are fine. But i have a way to use them that is absolutely amazing and much prettier(i know,modesty is not my thing!).
I take a small plate and i feel it with salt. Then i try to make half of the yin-yang symbol and i fill the other half with poppy seeds(perfect for divination). I arrange them so that the shape is perfect and i add a small salt spot in the poppy side and a small poppy spot in the salt side. Then i concentrate on my question, hold the crystal over the plate and if it drops on the salt is a yes answer, while if it drops to the poppy seeds is a no. If you try it, just keep in mind that you can't ask many questions because the pendulum messes the plate up pretty quickly. You can also use herbs for the yes part of the plate. I enjoyed very much using thyme.
So that is my magical tip for the day. I hope you liked it and that you will try it. Have an enchanting day and a witchy afternoon!
Brightest blessings,
Paws in the air for people food
I have a confession to make. I was a horrible fur mom and i did n't even know it. As you all know by now, i have three pets two cats and a dog. One of my cats only eats people food and although i have tried anything she can't eat anything else(once i only gave her cat food, and she starved herself for four days, i caved of course). And although my other two eat their kind of food, i frequently give them little treats that they enjoy very much.
Whenever i cooked for them i wanted their food to be tasty so i used spices as well as onions and garlic. I did that for years. And now i found out that garlic and onions are toxic for both cats and dogs and that i unintentionally poisoned my fur babies.
My neutered male cat only eats his food now(because anything else could lead to urinary issues), but the other too still eat people food. I felt i had to post that, although it has nothing to do with paganism, because i know many of you, my wonderful witch friends, have pets. Our familiars give us love, help us heal, open up and even protect us. So this post is dedicated to them.
Brightest blessings, love and light.
I am finally..back!
I am married. Well, not in the typical kind of way yet. But the handfasting was wonderful, more romantic i could ever imagine and a truly beautiful ceremony. It was my best Beltane by far and the happiest day of my entire life. We were alone. We were humble. We were in love.
Now that all the craziness and preparations are behind me, i will be posting as often as i used to. I am sorry i was slacking off. I will definitely make it up with you. I hope you all had a beautiful Beltane. I also hope you celebrated the love in your life, the fertility of the season, the beauty of Mother Nature and the Sun 's vivid power.
By the way, how are you handling Mercury 's retrograde motion? Try to stay calm, there are only eight days left of the insanity.
Love and light to all of my amazing readers.

Jai and Bee have chosen a lovely fruit for this month's AFAM-Watermelon. Due to its high water content (95%), summers are incomplete without watermelons…Atleast for me :) I can have watermelon for breakfast, lunch as well as for dinner in summers… I am one person who doesn't drink much water regularly (just 2-3 glasses), but eat loads of watermelon n cucumbers in summer.. That's the reason I can bear the summers. :D I was planning for another watermelon drink or snack, but then thought of some way which would be pleasant and inviting.. Here are lovely watermelon popsicles for AFAM Watermelon!
Watermelon Popsicles
6 popsicles (of size of Kulfi/Ice-Candies)
What you need:
1 cup Watermelon Juice
¼ cup Sugar
¼ cup Water
1 tsp Lemon Juice
2 tsp Chaat Masala (Optional)
A pinch of Salt
How to proceed:
1) Deseed watermelon and run through blender to make juice
2) Mix sugar and water. Heat for 2-3 mins
3) Remove from heat and add the remaining ingredients to it
4) Add to kulfi moulds/ ice trays and make popsicles of desired shape n size
5) Freeze for 3-4 hrs!
* Addition of chaat masala gives it a tangy flavour.. Reminded me of the "barf ka gola" sold in India :)

I love a magazine freebie. Its such a good way to try a product. Hoping some benefit samples come up soon!ReplyDelete
The Percy & Reed overnight recovery looks great - shame if you like it you have to wait a month!ReplyDelete
I used to love magazine freebies, but I haven't brought one in years, I am loving the nail varnishes though xReplyDelete
I love magazine freebies! Going to keep my eye out for the Marie Claire issue tomorrow.ReplyDelete
Ahh i havent had a magazine freebie for ages, i want to try the st.tropez tan lotion though, ive never tried self tanning cremes.ReplyDelete
I don't often buy magazines as I tend to subscribe and these don't tend to come with freebie gifts. I might be tempted by the nail polish though - can a blogger ever have too many I wonder?ReplyDelete
The overnight recovery looks great I'm tempted to get Elle magazine so I mean give that a try.ReplyDelete
Some great freebies this month, the overnight recovery stuff looks good xReplyDelete
Ooh, I want the hair stuff! I tend to get my favourite sun glasses from magazines every year. though I haven't seen any yet! xReplyDelete
Lovely freebies here. Who doesn't love a freebie?ReplyDelete
Gosh it has been ages since I treated myself to a good magazine freebie - I really need to try and get back into buying them. xReplyDelete
Oh wow, might have to buy Marie Claire to get that fake tan - love the stuff!ReplyDelete
These are some really nice ones. I think I'd be pretty excited to try out the tinted body lotion.ReplyDelete
Theres some great freebies this month! I love the look of the Nails Inc shades- theyre so perfect for springtime xxxReplyDelete
Magazines have really upped their game with the freebies haven't they? Shame I never buy them anymore because I never get to read them :)ReplyDelete
I love magazine freebies :) they are all good ones!
Going to have to invest in Instyle magazine - need some new nail polish
I love getting the freebies in the magazines, I'm loving the Instyle ones because you can't beat a good Nails Inc polish... Think California Dream and Ohio Desire are my favourites! xx
Charli | Beauty and Lifestyle Blogger at CHARLI B
I use to always buy magazine for the free gifts years ago. I havent for ages but I might just to get one of those nail varnishises xxReplyDelete
Now they are perfectly timed and rather lovely freebies. My pet hate is teeny freebies that don't allow you to really try he product out. These are a great sizeReplyDelete
I always used to choose my magazine by the freebie! A great selection this month, which should I go for first?ReplyDelete
I'd love to try St Tropez's products but I'm so afraid of the streaking! Most of the reviews I've read are good though so I shall try get my hands on this magazine and it's freebies!ReplyDelete
I can see why people would buy magazines for the freebies and these are definitely timed nicely for the summer but I just can't justify the price of some magazines simply to get a freebie. I think I would be more likely to head to the shops and buy the product direct (or ask for a sample) although I know it all comes down to personal preference.ReplyDelete
Great samples! I would say my mummy needs the San Tropez Gradual Tan Tinted Body Lotion...she's very pasty!!ReplyDelete
I love the Ohio Desire nail varnish and the night cream, might go get the magazines for those.ReplyDelete
Oooh that St Tropez tan!!!!!ReplyDelete
wow, didn't know you could get freebies on magazines. how cool/ReplyDelete
I have to admit that it is the only time I ever buy these magazines!ReplyDelete
Great St Tropez freebie! I actually looked at the mags in our local shop for the first time in years probably, but the only freebie I could see was a hand cream, so I left it.ReplyDelete
Magazine freebies are awesome, I'd love to try the San Tropez Gradual Tan Tinted Body Lotion!ReplyDelete
These are great freebies! The nail polishes look gorgeous <3

The New Design Britain Awards are one of the most important competitions in the UK for young design talent, giving recognition to students for innovative and ground-breaking work and providing an opportunity for INTERIORS UK to encourage new young stars and look to the future of the furniture industry. Our very good friend over at the National Design Academy – Anthony Rayworth, was once again on the judging panel in the categories of Furniture and Accessories this year, and gives us his overview of the winning designs.
Daniel Schofield – Winner – Furniture
Daniel's passion for design focuses on the creative exploration of materials, industrial processes and user interaction, working closely with factories, workshops and manufacturers to produce contemporary furniture, lighting and accessories. By giving each of his products an individual story of their own, Daniel hopes to create timeless pieces that have an extended lifespan, reducing their impact on the environment.
Born in the UK, Daniel trained as a graphic designer, then a carpenter before studying Furniture and Product design at Sheffield Hallam University, during which time he worked in New York for leading Manhattan based interior design practice and specifier, DDC.
Graduating in 2011, Daniel soon set up the Sheffield based studio, specialising in adding extra value and narrative to mass produced and limited edition products.
Daniel Schofield Studio has already received national and international acclaim and exhibited at a variety of shows across the country.
'Shifty' Desk – Winner – Furniture
"The Shifty desk / hallway stand is designed as part of the secrecy range of furniture I produced. Unsuspecting people presume that the storage compartment is the draw on the front. What they don't know is that by pulling the FSC Ash work surface, the whole top slides open revealing the hidden storage area, perfect for personal papers and electronic equipment. By doubling its size and having the work area come towards the user, the desk also lends itself perfectly to small space living".
Cristiana Ionescu – Winner – Accessories
Cristiana believes that besides functionality, sustainability and global design issues, other important aspects of design are aesthetics, humour and sentimental value. Cristiana's winning entry 'The Three Bears' is a set of stools for children who also like to scramble all over them. Made of felt over a steel frame, The Three Bears are a witty and fresh take on the classic Charles and Ray Eames 'Elephant' illustrated below.
A very resounding 'Well Done' to both finalists!
Standard of work
The overall standard of work was excellent. Innovation and design thinking was clearly in evidence as was the understanding of commercial considerations and awareness of the wider context in which their products were to be located. Craftsmanship and functionality underpinned theoretical and commercial frameworks with all work being made to a standard which not only allowed the concept to be clearly presented but demonstrated understanding of client requirements and aesthetics, whether these were commercial or residential.
Finally, once again, a very heartfelt 'thank you' to Tony Hollyer, Awards Co-Coordinator, UBM; Tony works tirelessly to ensure that the judging experience is enjoyable, professionally conducted and clearly articulated.

We Turks love eggs done many different ways; one of our favorite ways to enjoy egg is as being poached and served over garlic yoghurt, a special dish called Cilbir, in Turkish. Cilbir is generally enjoyed as a hot mezze though I like serving as lunch or a light supper, along with a refreshing salad like Coban Salata, Shepherd's Salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, spring onions and some pide bread or crusty bread.
I also like to prepare a simple red pepper flakes infused olive oil sauce and pour this over the poached eggs with garlic yoghurt, just before serving. The delicious heat from the red pepper flakes complements the dish beautifully.
I hope you enjoy this simple yet very satisfying dish, Afiyet Olsun. Also, my very best wishes for a wonderful festive season to you all, in good health and happiness.
- 1 small garlic clove, crushed and chopped finely
- 1 cup / 8 fl. oz. plain thick yoghurt, brought to room temperature
- 2 large free range eggs
- 30 ml / 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 30 ml / 2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 10 ml / 2 tsp. Turkish pul biber, red pepper flakes or chili flakes
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Pide bread or crusty bread to serve
- Prepare the garlic yoghurt first – about 10, 15 minutes before poaching the eggs – and bring to the room temperature.
- In a small bowl, beat the yoghurt with garlic and seasoning. Spoon this into two serving plates, creating a round thick layer to provide a nest for the poached egg. Let the yoghurt mixture reach the room temperature.
- Fill a small pan with hot water, add the vinegar (this will help sealing the egg whites) and bring to a boil. Stir the water to create a whirlpool and crack in the first egg.
- As the egg spins and the white sets around the yolk, stir the water ready for the next one. Poach each egg for 2-3 minutes so that the yolk remains soft.
- While the eggs are poaching, quickly pour in the olive oil in a small pan and stir in the Turkish pul biber, red pepper flakes or chili flakes, over medium to high heat. Stir and let the red pepper flakes infuse to olive oil for a few minutes, turn the heat off.
- Lift the eggs out of the water with a slotted spoon and place them over the garlic yoghurt spread.
- Drizzle the red pepper flakes infused olive oil over the poached eggs. Serve immediately with pide bread or crusty bread by the side.
- Coban Salata, Shepherd's Salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, spring onions would also go well with this delicious poached eggs over garlic yoghurt, Cilbir; Afiyet Olsun.

Ozlem's Turkish Table on Brooklands Radio
I had the pleasure of having an interview with Jill Bennet on healthy Turkish cuisine at the Brooklands Radio on Sunday, 27th November. It was wonderful to have a chance to talk and spread the word on wholesome, delicious Turkish cuisine – and had a flash back of happy memories of my amateur DJ days at Kent FM in Istanbul! – Here is the podcast link of our interview, if you like to listen to.

Faced with soaring demand, stagnant output at home and a need to diversify from Iranian crude imports lost to Western sanctions, Indian oil companies are hungry for deals like ONGC's Kashagan buy that promise supplies sooner rather than later.
State-run ONGC Videsh has agreed to pay about $5 billion for 8.4 per cent of the Kashagan field in Kazakhstan, the world's largest oilfield discovery in four decades - which could boost its output by about 16 per cent within a year.
The deal adds to a stable of assets that span some of the trickiest territories in the world - Sudan, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Libya among them - accumulated as parent Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) struggled with domestic output.
But it is a drop in the ocean for the world's fourth-biggest crude importer - it buys in 3.5 million barrels per day (bpd) - where the energy gap triggers constant power cuts. Asia's third-largest economy plans to hit 8 per cent growth in 2014/15 and by 2030 that could lift it to be the third-largest in the world and also the No 3 energy consumer, according to BP.
Oil supplies have become more urgent as Western sanctions over nuclear projects squeeze Iran, once India's second-biggest supplier. India's imports from Tehran slipped by nearly a fifth to 257,000 bpd in April-September.
"Our priority is to look for discovered, developed and producing assets which give us production growth immediately," T K Anantha Kumar, head of finance for Oil India, the country's other state-run explorer, told Reuters. While not all the oil bought overseas turns up in domestic refineries, it can give companies a stake in the global crude trade, enhancing their flexibility for supplies and potentially helping profits.
ONGC Videsh said in its 2011/12 annual report that its tough production targets - 20 million tonnes of oil equivalent by 2017/18 and 60 million tonnes by 2029/30 - mean it "needs to concentrate on acquiring assets in (the) development and production phase initially" before looking at exploration acreage.
Parent ONGC does not have a good track record in exploration and was slated this year by the state auditor for focusing too much on producing fields at home.
"Definitely we are looking at a good mix of producing as well as exploration assets because we want to increase our contribution" to India's energy security, an ONGC Videsh official told Reuters.
Acquisitive Asia
Indian companies will face sharp competition for these assets, however, from Asian rivals Japan and China - also major clients of Iran and facing their own demand challenges, the former because of nuclear power plant closures.
With all but two of Japan's reactors idled and the government set on reducing reliance on atomic power after the Fukushima disaster, Japan's energy explorers are on a quest for upstream assets overseas, often with strong state support.
Should ONGC complete the purchase of the Kashagan stake - ConocoPhillips' existing partners in the project have a right of first refusal on it - it could be working alongside Japan's biggest energy explorer, Inpex Corp, which has a 7.56 per cent share.
Chinese state oil companies CNOOC, Sinopec Group, the parent of Sinopec Corp, and PetroChina have been among the world's most acquisitive oil firms in recent years. CNOOC has bid $15.1 billion for Canadian oil and gas producer Nexen, while Sinopec recently paid $1.5 billion for UK North Sea assets and $2.5 billion for a one-fifth stake in a
Nigerian offshore field.
Asian companies may be willing to buy into countries where the political situation deters Western buyers - reflected in the spread of their portfolios. The Kashagan field has been plagued by disputes with the Kazakh government and cost overruns.
"In some cases, the political context can inhibit international oil companies from investing in a country where Chinese and other Asian companies have jumped in," said Siddik Bakir, Middle East and South Asia energy analyst at IHS World Markets Energy in London, in an email.
Chinese companies, which have also suffered in Sudan and Syria, are interested in investing in Myanmar and have often leveraged government-to-government deals with developing or politically risky countries where international majors can't or don't bother to go.
More recently, both Chinese and Indian companies have turned their attention to OECD countries such as Canada and the United States, while maintaining their interest in the rich prospects of Latin America and Africa. ONGC Videsh, for example, is focusing on Africa and Latin America, its managing director, D K Sarraf, said, after a policy shift last year away from politically risky regions. Oil India is focused on North America and Africa.
Big Cheques
And while the search for fundamental energy supplies such as oil, natural gas and coal continues, new sources such as oil sands or shale deposits are taking centre-stage. Chinese companies have struck multi-billion dollar deals for such assets in the United States, and an Indian consortium - including ONGC and Oil India - is in the running for oil sands properties in Canada.
"ONGC Videsh will need to be prepared to face more international competition on a regional and global level, particularly from Chinese companies," Bakir said.
"Indian state-run companies don't have a good track record of competing and winning against Chinese companies in a bidding scenario, especially when you have to write a cheque for more than $5 billion," said a resources banker with a European bank in Mumbai.
"In those cases, Chinese companies will continue to have an upper hand." ONGC Videsh reckons it needs $20 billion to buy the assets it needs up to 2030, while Oil India is looking to invest up to $1.82 billion for assets that could give it an extra 1.5-1.75 million tonnes a year of oil.
But unlike Chinese companies which enjoy financial independence, India's state-owned energy companies have not been very successful in closing big overseas acquisitions, often because of delays in securing government approvals at home.

Annan decides to quit as special envoy to Syria
GENEVA -- Frustrated by Syria's escalating civil war, Kofi Annan announced Thursday that he will quit his high-profile role as special envoy to the country at the end of the month, giving reasons that amounted to scathing criticism of world powers' failure to unite to stop the chaos in the Arab state.
He also asserted that Syrian President Bashar Assad must leave office for the good of his country.
Annan told reporters that when he accepted the job, "which some called 'Mission Impossible,'" he wanted to help the international community, led by the U.N. Security Council, find a peaceful solution to the crisis. The goal was to stop the killings of civilians and human rights abuses, as well as to place Syria on a path toward political transition.
"The severity of the humanitarian costs of the conflict, and the exceptional threats posed by this crisis to international peace and security, justified the attempts to secure a peaceful transition to a political settlement, however daunting the challenge," Annan said.
But the former U.N. secretary-general told reporters that he cannot go on when the New York-based, 15-nation Security Council doesn't fully back him, particularly because of the stalemate between its five veto-wielding members: Russia and China on one side, the United States, Britain and France on the other.
"Things fell apart in New York," he summed up. "The increasing militarization on the ground (in Syria) and the clear lack of unity in the Security Council have fundamentally changed the circumstances for the effective exercise of my role."
Annan was named the U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria in February, overseeing a small staff in a secretive office accessible through a makeshift elevator entrance in the sprawling Palais des Nations, the U.N.'s European headquarters in Geneva.
He came up with a six-point peace plan to resolve Syria's crisis, including a cease-fire that was supposed to take effect in mid-April.
But, despite the presence of hundreds of U.N. observers on the ground, the cease-fire never took hold and the violence in Syria has morphed into a civil war. Rights activists say that more than 19,000 people have died since the popular uprising against Assad began in March 2011.
Annan notified U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Secretary-General of the League of Arab States, Nabil El Araby, that he would leave office when his appointment expires Aug. 31.
"The bloodshed continues, most of all because of the Syrian government's intransigence, and continuing refusal to implement the six-point plan, and also because of the escalating military campaign of the opposition -- all of which is compounded by the disunity of the international community," Annan said.
"At a time when we need -- when the Syrian people desperately need action -- there continues to be finger-pointing and name-calling in the Security Council."
On June 30, Annan succeeded in getting the major powers on the council -- including stalwart Syria allies Russia and China -- to agree on a broad framework for a political transition in Syria, one that he said "meant President Assad would have to leave sooner or later."
But the Security Council never formally endorsed the plan or acted on it, something that sorely disappointed the envoy and, he said, undermined his efforts.
Without international unity, including the cooperation of regional powers, "it is impossible for me, or anyone, to compel the Syrian government in the first place, and also the opposition, to take the steps necessary to begin a political process. You have to understand: as an envoy, I can't want peace more than the protagonists, more than the Security Council or the international community for that matter," he told reporters at an impromptu press conference in Geneva.
Annan did not single out any member of the Security Council by name for criticism during the press conference. But in an op-ed column published by the Financial Times on Thursday, he urged several countries to look beyond their national interests and rivalries to solve the Syrian crisis.
"For Russia, China and Iran this means they must take concerted efforts to persuade Syria's leadership to change course and embrace a political transition, realizing the current government has lost all legitimacy," Annan wrote, adding: "For the U.S., U.K., France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar this means pressing the opposition to embrace a fully inclusive political process -- that will include communities and institutions currently associated with the government."
Annan also had harsh words for the Syrian government and what he called its "intransigence." In what was his strongest statement to date about the Syrian leader, Annan wrote, "It is clear that President Bashar al-Assad must leave office."
Annan's announcement coincided with Arab countries dropping a demand that Assad resign in the latest draft of a symbolic U.N. General Assembly resolution that faces a Friday vote in New York. The watered-down resolution further illustrated the international struggle to build an effective diplomatic approach to Syria's civil war.
The draft resolution was resisted by countries such as Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa who had problems with calling for regime change or sanctions. Russia and China have vetoed stronger proposals on Syria in the Security Council, which, as the most powerful arm of the U.N., can adopt enforceable resolutions and impose sanctions.
In the U.S., White House press secretary Jay Carney said Annan's resignation highlighted the failure of Russia and China to support action against Assad. In Britain, Prime Minister David Cameron said Annan's departure was evidence that the current approach has failed -- and that the U.N. needs to get tougher with Syria.
"We've got this appalling bloodshed. I think what we need to do is to ramp things up," Cameron told Sky News television.
Ban, the U.N. secretary-general, said he is discussing possible successors with the Arab League. "I remain convinced that yet more bloodshed is not the answer; each day of it will only make the solution more difficult while bringing deeper suffering to the country and greater peril to the region," Ban said.
Russian President Vladimir Putin called the events in Syria a "tragedy."
"Kofi Annan is an honorable man and a brilliant diplomat, so I regret that very much," he said. "But I hope that the international community will continue efforts to end violence."
Alexei Pushkov, the head of the foreign affairs committee in the lower house of the Russian parliament, blamed the failure of Annan's plan on the West.
"Regrettably, the so-called Friends of Syria led by the United States have encouraged the opposition and sought to put pressure only on the Syrian government. That became the reason behind the failure of Annan's plan," Pushkov said, according to RIA Novosti.
China's Foreign Ministry expressed "regret" on Annan's leaving, saying in a statement on its web site, "We understand the difficulties in Annan's mediation work and respect his decision."
It is unclear how Annan's departure will affect his legacy.
Annan, the grandson of Ghanaian tribal chiefs, joined the United Nations in 1962 as an administrative and budget officer for the World Health Organization in Geneva.
He rose to become its secretary-general from 1997 to 2006, helping to ease the transition to civilian rule in Nigeria in 1998 and visiting Iraq to defuse an impasse between Saddam Hussein and the U.N. In 1999, he was deeply involved in helping East Timor gain independence from Indonesia.
But he also has been associated with some of the U.N.'s biggest failures. He headed U.N. peacekeeping at a time when the U.N. has been accused of ignoring evidence that genocide was planned in Rwanda and of abandoning the Rwandan people when it was under way in 1994. The U.N. was also blamed for failing to help save thousands of Bosnian Muslims from the 1995 Serb mass murder in the town of Srebrenica, which had been declared a U.N. safe haven.
Asked Thursday about the idea of someone else being appointed to succeed him as envoy to Syria, Annan said, "The world is full of crazy people like me, so don't be surprised if someone else decides to take it on."

HAMILTON, Ont. — The Chicago Wolves left Ontario with a pair of victories as they bagged their second win of the weekend with a 4-1 decision over the Hamilton Bulldogs on Sunday at Copps Coliseum.
HAMILTON, Ont. — The Chicago Wolves left Ontario with a pair of victories as they bagged their second win of the weekend with a 4-1 decision over the Hamilton Bulldogs on Sunday at Copps Coliseum.
Left wing Dmitrij Jaskin (G, A) and defenseman Mark Cundari (G, A) both posted multiple point games, while right wing Tyler Shattock and defenseman Joel Edmundson also tallied for the Wolves.
For the second night in a row, Chicago (23-15-2-2) got on the board first thanks to Jaskin. On the power play, Cundari sent a pass to the point for a one-timer by defenseman Brent Regner. The rebound popped out to the doorstep, where Jaskin wrangled the puck and buried it into a gaping net 14:25 into the game.
Chicago increased its lead over Hamilton (20-18-0-4) later in the period as a three-on-two rush developed to the Wolves' advantage. As Shattock streaked into the offensive zone joined by Jaskin and Edmundson, he released a shot on net that snuck through as Edmundson stationed himself in front.
The goals kept coming for the Wolves as the game's middle frame began. Just 1:28 into the period, Edmundson received a pass from center Adam Cracknell and beat Bulldogs goaltender Robert Mayer with a quick shot for the three-goal advantage.
The Bulldogs cut into Chicago's lead to make it 3-1 at 3:24 of the second period. Hamilton moved in on the Wolves' zone in an odd-man situation and right wing Christian Thomas whipped a shot near-side past goaltender Matt Climie.
Midway through the second frame, Chicago responded as Cundari tallied his first marker in a Wolves sweater. Forward Nathan Longpre fed a crisp pass to Cundari from the corner and the pinching defenseman shot a laser top-shelf.
Climie (5-7-0) denied 21 Bulldogs shots, while Mayer (4-8-2) made 40 saves.
Chicago continues on its five-game road trip at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29 at Rochester.

ARAGAO, Daniel Maurício de. Global control of solidarity: transnationalization and privatization in the strategic adaptation of british NGOs in Brazil. Cad. CRH [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.65, pp.269-283. ISSN 0103-4979. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-49792012000200006.
The fundraising crisis faced by the Brazilian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is also experienced in other parts of the world, including the central countries, precisely the ones housing organizations that have traditionally supported projects from the organizations of peripheral countries. In this situation of crisis, it was observed that the European NGOs for international solidarity, especially the British ones, have identified Brazil as a potential space for fundraising, especially in partnership with the private sector. In order to ensure the sustainability of the programs, these organizations resort to strategies that refer to the globalization of capital, as it is the case of the merger with Brazilian organizations. Based on the examples of OXFAM and Save the Children, this paper aims at analyzing the new scenario of nongovernmental international cooperation, characterized by associated processes of transnationalization and privatization, with impacts on the profile and agenda of the organizations.
Keywords : capitalist globalization; cooperation for the development; nongovernmental organizations; transnationalization of NGOs; privatization.

When it comes to finding fresh tones that inspire new song ideas or put the sonic palettes of your heroes at your fingertips, there's simply no substitute for slogging it out and putting tons of time into experimenting with different instruments, techniques, effects, and amps. We're individuals with our own unique touch on the strings, a set of ears that's heard things no one else has, and a guitar or bass rig that—due to our budget limitations, being finicky, or (hopefully) an insatiable longing for new tonal titillation—is never going to be exactly what we want. Let's face it—we're impossible to please. But if it feeds our muse, how can that be a bad thing?
Still, sometimes getting out of your own headspace and considering other players' contexts can get the gears in your brain turning in ways that woodshedding can't, even if that context sometimes comes from guitarists or bassists you don't particularly dig or know much about. Hearing someone play a particular pedal and seeing how they use it—what their settings are, where they put it in their signal chain, and how they adjust their attack or their instrument's onboard controls—can reveal a previously mundane-seeming device to be a corridor into mind-blowing sonic realms.
Every week, premierguitar.com features a new Rig Rundown video with the potential to do this for the tones you hear in your head. Even better, it may wedge a new, never-before-considered sound in your cranium and send you down new creative paths. Here we highlight 10 pro pedalboards from the hottest Rig Rundown videos in recent memory. The up-close and personal views of these artists' stomp stations are bound to get your creative juices flowing, and once you're done here we suggest clicking over to our site (or youtube.com/premierguitar) to take in the whole shebang—not to mention hundreds of other Rig Rundowns with the same mind-expanding potential.

All-Star Game could bring $1 million gift to RBI
If pitcher strikes out the side in second inning, Head & Shoulders will make donation
Angels hurler C.J. Wilson entered the All-Star break on a roll, with nine wins, a 3.37 ERA and 110 strikeouts in 120 1/3 frames before baseball's 84th Midsummer Classic.
And aside from those assigned to face the stellar southpaw, most would agree that Wilson's whiffs have done a great deal of good this year.
As Head & Shoulders' MLB "Mane Man," Wilson has spent the spring and summer racking up strikeouts and summoning support for the "Season of the #Whiff" campaign, a national initiative that donates a dollar to the MLB Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program for every strikeout tallied in 2013.
The dollars have been doled out right and left so far, with whiffs coming at a historic clip (hurlers tallied 21,245 strikeouts before the All-Star break, by far an all-time high).
Although the donations earned to date amount to no small sum, Wilson was in New York on Tuesday to discuss a Head & Shoulders offer that could earn much, much more money for RBI in a matter of minutes.
"If a pitcher strikes out the side in the second inning [during the All-Star Game], that's worth a million dollars. Head & Shoulders will donate a million bucks [to the RBI program]," Wilson said.
The Tigers' Max Scherzer and the Mets' Matt Harvey -- the Midsummer Classic's starting hurlers -- will likely be toeing the rubber during the game's second frame. And who better to have on the bump with seven figures on the line than a pair of pitchers who sit second and third on baseball's strikeout leaderboard?
A handful of RBI graduates have ascended all the way to the Majors, with the likes of Carl Crawford, Coco Crisp, James Loney, Jimmy Rollins and Justin Upton reaching big league batter's boxes. Pitchers have gone from RBI to MLB, as well, with CC Sabathia, Yovani Gallardo, James McDonald and Dontrelle Willis representing what has been a talented group of arms.
And as they have been doing all season, fans can do their part to help RBI by partaking in the "Season of the #Whiff" on Twitter. The MLB club with the highest total of #Whiff tweets each month earns $10,000 for its local RBI chapter. The season-long cumulative champion will earn $20,000, making a total of $80,000 up for grabs.
In order to assist, tweet #whiff and your team's Twitter handle for every strikeout throughout the rest of the MLB season.
You can track progress by following @HSforMen on Twitter or by visiting the Head & Shoulders' "Season of the #Whiff" page at www.mlb.com/whiff.
Although Wilson was not named to this year's Midsummer Classic roster despite his strong first half -- he ranks among baseball's best lefties in most meaningful statistical categories -- the two-time American League All-Star (2011, '12) will be rooting fervently for his most precocious teammate, Mike Trout, the AL squad's leadoff man and starting left fielder.
"Trout is one of the most exciting players in baseball. He's 21, got the whole world ahead of him," Wilson said. "He's a tremendous hitter; he can hit the ball over the fence, he can bunt, he can steal bases. So there's really no limit to how he can impact the game.
"If he plays five or six innings [Tuesday night], he might be responsible for the [AL] scoring a couple runs and saving a run or two on defense."
During Tuesday night's festivities, Wilson will be taking over the @HSforMen Twitter account. Any fan who tweets @MLB and @HSforMen with #whiff during the game will be entered automatically into an All-Star sweepstakes, through which a pair of regular-season tickets will be given away after every strikeout recorded. If there are 10 or more strikeouts in the game, one eligible winner will receive a pair of tickets to a game at the 2013 World Series.
After the completion of Tuesday night's contest, Wilson will look ahead to the start of the season's second half, a stretch during which he aspires to excel.
"The thing for me is to always look ahead and look past what I've done and try to outperform that," the southpaw said. "I think statistically my best second half was in 2011, so I am going to try to have a better second half than I did in 2011."
Based on his performance this summer -- during which he has heated up with the weather -- Wilson has a strong chance to accomplish the aforementioned feat … with a whole lot of K's to boot.

Comedian Chelsea Handler opened up about her two abortions at age 16 in a personal essay for Playboy Magazine's "Freedom Issue." She also applauded U.S. reproductive laws for allowing her to rectify her "irresponsible" teenage actions with a "thoughtful" decision.
Handler, 41, wrote that she first got pregnant when she was going through a "bad stage" in her life and having unprotected sex with her boyfriend at the time.
"The idea that I would have a child and raise it by myself at that age, when I couldn't even find my way home at night, was ridiculous," Handler wrote. "My parents recognized that, so they acted like parents for one of the very first times in my life and took me to Planned Parenthood."
U.S. & World
"When it was over, I was relieved in every possible way."
Handler said she got pregnant again later that year and could barely afford to pay the $230 for a safe abortion at Planned Parenthood.
"We all make mistakes all the time," she wrote. "I happened to f*** up twice at the age of 16. I'm grateful that I came to my senses and was able to get an abortion legally without risking my health or bankrupting myself or my family. I'm 41 now. I don't ever look back and think, God, I wish I'd had that baby."
"It's infuriating to hear politicians make bogus promises about overturning [Roe v. Wade] that has protected us for more than 40 years."
She also described her anger at political efforts to "subvert" the 1973 ruling by "passing lesser laws that close clinics or restrict abortion access for women."
Still, Handler said she does not believe Roe v. Wade is in danger of being overturned.
"We're too far ahead of the game," Handler wrote. "Once you go forward in history, you don't go backward."
Handler's essay comes in light of Monday's Supreme Court decision that threw out a Texas law that was found to place an "undue burden" on women seeking abortions in the guise of protecting women's health.

You don't have to leave your home to get the skilled healthcare services you need. ThedaCare At Home can help.
Who We Serve
ThedaCare At Home serves people of all ages throughout Wisconsin's Fox Valley region, including adults, children, and infants. Most have short-term skilled care or rehabilitation needs following a hospitalization or illness. Others need temporary or ongoing assistance for chronic conditions, such as congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension, cancer, or diabetes.
The services you receive are customized to your needs and wishes, as well as your doctor's recommendations. You have the final say on which services you will receive. We provide ongoing progress reports to you, your doctor, and your entire ThedaCare team to ensure you're getting the care you need. We can also keep your family members informed, too.
View services
Care Team
The care providers who visit your home are locally based ThedaCare employees who are highly trained in their fields. Members of your care team may include registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, rehabilitation therapists, medical equipment specialists, respiratory therapists, and wound specialists.
Scheduling Home Care
Anyone can request an initial home care visit, including you, a family member, or your doctor. However, before you receive care, you will need a doctor's referral. To arrange an initial visit to assess your situation, call 920-969-0919 or 800-984-5554.
Following the initial visit, we'll help develop a schedule that suits your healthcare needs and living situation. For emergency or same-day needs, a registered nurse is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Paying for Home Care
After your initial home care visit, we'll develop a service plan, which a nurse will review with you. You'll receive an estimate of the costs and insurance coverage for your services before you sign up.
Most of our services are covered by insurance if you meet certain criteria. Generally, you must require assistance to leave your home, such as needing a cane, walker, or another person to help you. You must also need skilled nursing care, physical therapy, or speech therapy. If you have just been discharged from the hospital, you will likely meet these criteria.

While I don't believe that ObamaCare, soon after it finally launches next January, will quickly implode in the policy equivalent of a vast mushroom cloud, I do think its troubles will be acute, and its (slow-motion) collapse inevitable.
The Washington Examiner's Phil Klein ably summarizes the Washington takeover's current challenges in a recent piece, ObamaCare's Looming Train Wreck.
1. Young people may not sign up for insurance in sufficient numbers, causing premiums to rise for older, sicker folks -- and thus causing a health insurance "death spiral."
2. The law's Medicare "cost controls" (really, rationing measures) may not work, causing higher deficits, which will put pressure on Congress to ratchet down on the rationing tighter -- or begin to dismantle the law.
3. Employers may dump millions of their employees into the exchanges to save money -- again, causing higher than promised taxpayer costs.
4. The exchanges (those bureaucratic "marketplaces" where people will go to get federal subsidies for their mandatory health insurance) could be beset by glitches and breakdowns -- provoking public ridicule of the law and its authors.
5. The law could lead to overcrowding at doctors' offices, as has happened in Massachusetts under "RomneyCare" -- causing the public to view the Washington takeover as less than benign.
Klein concludes:
Obamacare has survived a Supreme Court challenge, multiple repeal attempts, and a presidential election. Now it is has to survive its own structural flaws.
But why wait to find out? The law has already failed to live up to its proponents' promises. Let's cancel ObamaCare and start over with a patient-centered system.
Dean Clancy is FreedomWorks's Vice President for Public Policy. He leads the group's efforts to reverse the Washington takeover of health care and replace it with a patient-centered system.
This bill was horrible to begin with and it gets worse each day more is revealed about it---this is a fiasco for all Americans, some just don't pay attention to this kind of stuff! The death panels that were talked about are part of the bill and it will be a disaster for our older citizens! God help us all because of this horrible take over of our once terrific health care--prices are not going down but will be hugh as this is nothing but a tax bill in reality!

There seems to be a bug that affects example 1 above. PDO::PARAM_LOB when used with pdo::bindColumn() is supposed to return a stream but it returns a string. Passing this string to fpassthru() then triggers an error with the message 'supplied argument is not a valid stream resource'. This has been reported in bug #40913. The work around is to do the following:
$stmt = $db->prepare("select contenttype, imagedata from images where id=?");
$stmt->bindColumn(1, $type, PDO::PARAM_STR, 256);
$stmt->bindColumn(2, $lob, PDO::PARAM_LOB);
header("Content-Type: $type");
Since the browser is expecting an image after the call to header() writing the string representation of the binary output with echo() has the same affect as calling fpassthru().

If you want to survive in the game of sports betting, Tips And Predictions in Easy then you have to use effective money management. I recommend that you follow these guidelines at all times.
- Only invest what you can realistically afford to lose. Top Soccer Predictions Today you have to remember that you really do not need to start with al a lot of money. I got started with only $100 dollars and I followed the system and my money has doubled over and over again over the course of years.
- Do not make your initial bet too high. Only invest 5% of your total bankroll for a flat betting system (in which you bet the same amount each time) and no more than 2% for a progressive system. You need to be patient here and allow your systems to do their slow and steady work.
- Increase your initial bets when your bankroll has increased by 25%. This will increase your earning power, Tips And Predictions just remember to stick to the suggested percentages in #2.
- Remember to Diversify your portfolio. If you have a total bankroll of $1000 and 4 systems that you would like to use, then each system should be allotted $250 and you have to keep those amounts separate.
You have to be disciplined in your use of your systems and in your money management strategy. It can be difficult especially you are doing exceptionally well or if you are losing badly. You may be tempted to deviate from the systems or the money management guidelines in either of those situations. But do not, Possible Predictions For Todays Football Matches just remain diligent and the rewards are sure to follow.
Tips And Predictions in Easy?
With the explosion of internet betting gone are the days when betting on the like of the NFL, NHL or the NBA are confined to just the outright winner or match handicaps (where the outsider is given a lead in order to make the best more even). As competition within the world of internet betting has mushroomed so has the range of bets offered as they compete to become 'the leading exponent of US sports'. On any match now you can bet on 'over & under' which is betting on whether you reckon the total amount of points scored will be over or under a given number. Wider afield you can go for what the first scoring play will be or even who the Man of the Match award will be given or MVP (Most Valuable Player).
As a result the popularity of US Sports betting has also risen simply due to the fact that there is more for the 'leisure' bettor to get involved with and more enticing odds that those in the two horse race that is one side or the other to win. Whilst there is a huge lobby to restrict internet betting in the US the feeling that the bird has flown the nest is very strong as off-shore operators are queuing up for the business and many have now even listed themselves on the UK stock exchange giving them an immediate credibility.
For those of you with a nervous disposition it's probably worth turning away now as the biggest growth area in betting in the US, outside of the monster that is Poker, is College sports! Yep, I'm afraid bookies will take bets on almost anything if the appetite is there – one was taking bets on how would die in the latest Harry Potter book another on the outcome of the Michael Jackson trial. Is nothing sacred, apparently not? And the NCAAF is no different – but before we judge to harshly, let's not pretend that private underground wagering on the College sports has been massive for years so why not bring it out into the open. For those interested, Florida State and Miami are joint favourites in the ACC Conference Championship.
In the more mainstream fields Indianapolis just head the betting in the NFL over New England for the Superbowl XLI, its hard to split the Detroit Red Wings and the Ottawa Senators (who, with a name like, that should certainly know better than have a bet) in the Stanley Cup and in the MLB World Series its very tight in the betting between the New York Mets, Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees.
Well, happy betting as our eyes start to turn away from the World Cup (that's soccer to those who only follow the US stuff) and look forward to a new season of Hockey, Baseball, American Football and Basketball
We hope this helps but visit TheSportsman.com or read the paper, out every day for more tips and hints.

So if you're 21 and looking to try your hands in gambling, you can join in the same excitement available right in your own room. A variety of casino gambling sites are lined in the internet aiming to bring you the best always.
In fact, if you happen to play in any online casino site from before, you will probably know what are the main advantages associated with online casino betting. The features that an online casino offers its players are usually more than what are available in any land based casinos. Today, the online casinos have emerged as the most choice able medium emerging as the largest revenue maker of the gambling industry each year.
The reasons that makes online casino gambling the most popular medium of playing selected casino games include:
1.Offering more choices of online betting sites: It is the online casinos that make casino gaming much simpler as possible in terms of selection of particular sites to play. Currently, the internet includes a large number of casino sites than the total number of brick and mortar casinos based worldwide. Thus, you need not have to worry about the distance of finding a good casino.
Finding a good site is just a few clicks away. Additionally, you can always change your site at your own ease. However, one vital thing to consider is to avoid any kind of rogue casino sites. Make your casino online betting an enjoyable one ensuring the sites that are recognized and do not cheat the player's money.
2.Convenient and easy withdrawal and deposit alternatives: The online sites offer a range of different banking options to help players in making their withdrawals and deposit.

3.Promotions and Bonuses to be won online: The bonuses and promotions also form to be an attractive option for casino online betting. You will never find these options in any brick and mortar casino.

With these freebies, you will be able to increase your bankroll at ease. In addition, you can also make use of this kind of free money to increase your cash using them in your further bets.

Wherever you may be, you can just connect your pc online and get started with your favorite games.

Many of us had an English teacher that taught us that adding the final comma to a list was not necessary so we didn't need to do it. And if you writing or reading for pleasure, and dollars and cents are not determined but how your sentence or clause within your sentence are interpreted, by all means drop the restrictive comma.
But if you are an a lawyer or other person charged with the responsibility that people will be making significant financial decisions based on the clarity of your writing, add the restrictive comma.
The "restrictive comma" is the one that ends a list. In the law, we often see lists insurance policies regarding the kinds of things that are and are not covered. In corporations, whether for profit or not for profit, such as homeowner associations, they are governing documents discussing what the corporation will and will not do, and what is and is not allowed. Often we see lists of this kind in employment agreements.
As a matter of practice, including the final comma in a list never takes away clarity. Failing to add it however, creates ambiguity or at least creates greater ambiguity than what might otherwise exist. For example, suppose there is a tax that says the following fruits are taxed at 1 cent per pound: Bananas, apples, limes and pineapples. Are pineapples and limes weighed together for the tax or are they weighed separately? If the list read, "Bananas, applies, limes, and pineapples" there is no ambiguity that limes and pineapples are weighed and taxed separately.
Another example. Suppose an homeowners association provides that the following is prohibited: Tents, outbuildings, gazebos and other structures of a temporary character cannot be used as residential dwellings on lots within the Association. Does this mean tents are allowed but not if used as a residential dwelling, or does it mean tents are prohibited? Were the list to read, "Tents, outbuildings, gazebos, and other structures of a temporary character cannot be used as residential dwellings…." it is clear that tents and outbuildings and gazebos, if a "structure of a temporary character," cannot be used for residential purposes. There still exists the ambiguity whether the drafter intended to prohibit tents, outbuildings, gazebos, and other structures of a temporary character altogether and most especially if used for a residential purposes.
Because of these kinds of ambiguities, careful legal drafting requires use of the restrictive comma. Its also a good idea to have several people read something before its finalized to get a feel on how other may interpret what the drafter is drafting. Also, often it is a good idea to have an express statement of the drafter's intent to guide the interpretation, since some documents are not interpreted until years after the the document was drafted. Fortunately, most state and federal legislative history is fairly accessible, often for free. But private documents, such corporate, business, employment, and insurance documents often lack a readily accessible source of the drafter's intent.
The point? If you are in the position of making a list, add the final comma before the final "and" or "or." And, if you have to take a position in litigation, be aware that the omission of the restrictive comma may support or defeat your argument. Generally, courts will follow the rules of grammar in construing a sentence unless the judge's "common sense" tells him or her that the drafter intended but omitted the restrictive comma.

Typical Anabaptists/Baptists minus the pitchforks, horns and tails. Photo of an actual Baptist Cult Coven Church service taking place just before they immerse new converts in foul smelling waters after walking down the aisle to the Altar to "make a decision to ask Christ Satan into their hearts;" then drink the blood of the dead as well as steal other peoples' money to give to the poor. Evilness—sheer evilness! Photo courtesy of Satan.
Finally we've nailed that idiot and a farce of a wannabe heretic and fake Christian, Ben Currin aka TheoPoet in the midst of supporting heresy:
Clearly these individuals are deluded not only that they are "unregenerate unsaved reprobates" not to be fellowshipped with as they aren't even "Real Christians" like us as our Pure Doctrines attest:
"The Anabaptists (Baptists) are only mentioned by name twice, but…they had revived all the ancient heresies about the Holy Trinity and the Person of Christ…. Many of them were Pelagians…. Others claimed that, being regenerate, they were unable to commit sin…. Some depreciated all Scripture and placed themselves above even the Moral Law…. Some denied any need of ordination for Ministers, and claimed that the efficacy of all ministrations depended on the personal holiness of the Minister…. Infant baptism was denied…. All church discipline was repudiated…. Many held strange views about the descent into hell, the nature of the resurrection — and the future life, the ultimate salvation of all men, and millenarianism….. The authority of the State was impugned, and communism demanded."
We know this is exactly what that idiot False Convert TheoPoet teaches and that he is secretly a "sectarian landmarkist" who hates our Pure Doctrines just look at the description of his apostate Blog:
"TheoPoetic Musings: RANDOM THEOLOGICAL THOUGHTS FROM AN ECUMENICAL POSTMODERN RADICAL REFORMED ARMINIAN NEO-ORTHODOX BARTHIAN MODERATE PROGRESSIVE TO LIBERAL BAPTIST PERSPECTIVE (OH AND SOME POETRY AND LYRICS,TOO) "—if that doesn't smack of Pure Evil and divisive sectarianism then you must be "spiritually blind" and of the devil as well. Anyone who calls themself a Baptist, an Anabaptist or both or even says anything slighty positive about these "obstinate pig-dogs" should have their very salvation called into question. We Know that Spurgeon (a TrulyReformed Baptist Landmarkist Calvinist Christian) never had anything positive to say about Baptists nor Anabaptists as he believed and taught nothing but our Pure Doctrines. Anyone who is an Anabapist/Baptist is by default wrong as only We have the right to claim True Theology and True Church History:
P. S. Remember anyone who doesn't bow down before our Pure Doctrines are the divisive ones not us.
P. P. S. This article is 1000% Ken Silva-approved.
