Square, the payment start-up co-founded and headed by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, is in discussions with banks about an initial public offering, according to reports.
Square has held discussions with banks including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley about an IPO in 2014, the Wall Street Journal claimed. It cautioned that no bank has been hired and the timing of a deal could change.
Representatives of Square, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
Founded in 2009 by Mr Dorsey, Square makes a credit card reader that slots into smartphones such as those made by Apple. Twitter itself is to go public this week.
Square is growing nearly as fast as Twitter, with sales approaching $1bn in 2014, according to an internal projection people familiar with the matter shared with the Wall Street Journal. Sales will be about $550m this year on total payment volume of around $20bn, the newspaper added.
Mr Dorsey has said publicly that the company does not turn a profit, but has discussed a plan internally that would make Square profitable in 2015, the Wall Street Journal said.
Square is a close strategic partner of Starbucks, which has also invested in the start-up.

Dragonfly Tattoo symbolism:
- Japan dragonfly symbolism: do you know that in Japan culture the dragonfly is associated with summer or the beginning of autumn? Moreover, the dragonfly is also associated with courage, happiness, strength and other things in the Japan culture.
- European culture: in this culture, the dragonflies are related to evil/devil/sinister/etc. Furthermore, if you are curios about it, dragonflies are also associated with snakes in various European countries. Some also believe a dragonfly has magical powers. But, does it? What do you think? Furthermore, a dragonfly is also associated with a butterfly. That's why people get butterfly tattoos, but also dragonfly ones. Altough some people believe these tattoos are mostly for girls, they are for men also. Everyone can get this tattoo!

(ADVISORY- Reuters plans to replace intra-day European and UK stock market reports with a Live Markets blog on Eikon - see cpurl://apps.cp./cms/?pageId=livemarkets for site in development. See the bottom of the report for more details)
* Mining and energy stocks among top performers
* Airline stocks fall after Barclays price target cuts
* Many investors remain cautious before "Brexit" vote
By Sudip Kar-Gupta
LONDON, June 6 (Reuters) - European stocks steadied on Monday after falling at the end of last week in the wake of weak U.S. jobs data, as gains in the shares of major mining and oil companies propped up the region's markets.
The pan-European STOXX 600 and FTSEurofirst 300 equity indexes were both flat, having fallen around 1 percent on Friday.
Last Friday's weak U.S jobs data hit the U.S. dollar, but this in turn gave a lift to the commodity sector, since a weaker dollar makes commodities priced in that currency more affordable for consumers paying with other currencies.
Mining stocks such as Anglo American, Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton rose more than 5 percent as the price of copper climbed to its highest level in around 4 weeks.
"The mining sector is bouncing up on the back of the weaker dollar," Hantec Markets' analyst Richard Perry said.
The shares of oil majors such as BP and Total also rose as oil prices advanced.
However, shares in airlines Air France KLM, Lufthansa and International Consolidated Airlines Group all fell after analysts at Barclays cut their price targets on the stocks.
"Even if their margins are still rising thanks to fuel savings, many airlines across the globe would admit that demand is softer than anticipated," Barclays wrote in a note.
Persistent concerns that Britain will vote to leave the European Union in a referendum on June 23 also kept investors on edge.
While this was being played out more on currency markets, with sterling falling against the dollar, analysts said uncertainty ahead of Britain's vote was one of several reasons why they expected stock markets to make little progress in the coming weeks.
"Our view is that risk/reward is not attractive for equities," JP Morgan Cazenove wrote in a note.
Today's European research round-up
ADVISORY- Reuters plans to replace intra-day European and UK stock market reports with a Live Markets blog on Eikon (see cpurl://apps.cp./cms/?pageId=livemarkets for site in development). In a real-time, multimedia format from 0600 London time through the 1630 closing bell, it will include the best of our market reporting, Stocks Buzz service, Eikon graphics, Reuters pictures, eye-catching research and market zeitgeist.

Like bogus (counterfeit) money, bogus Sacraments have no value other than to deceive the unwary into accepting them. Subjective good will is insufficient to change the objective reality. As a principle, it is easy to make the statement. It is in the application of the principle to specific cases where difficulties arise. Nothing is more conducive to charlatanism than the so-called "gray area". But, then, the upright must not be arbitrarily condemned as charlatans because of legitimate doubts. The Apostles and their faithful flocks: priests and laity carefully observed and did what Christ taught them to do. All teaching is for the purpose of doing, whether the activity be physical or spiritual.
Therefore, Jesus laid down the procedure whereby certain words and actions (Sacraments) produced grace. Those reject the Sacraments who reject the divinity of Jesus Christ, Author of grace. The Apostles were careful to perform these actions with the accompanying words. Thus, what Scholastic theologians later termed "matter" and "form" existed from the very beginning. In fact, if these two elements did not exist there could be no Sacrament. The third element was assumed to be present to the point that not much attention was given to it. This third essential element is INTENTION.
Like breathing, the intention to accomplish what Christ had instituted was too obvious to even be questioned. Whenever love cools, technicalities take on great importance. Proportionately, when good will (which is the same as love) laxes, regulation taxes. Laws are made to correct or curb abuses. The reception of a falsified Sacrament does not result in the reception of sacramental grace or any other effect of the Sacrament. The question of intention, therefore, is of vital importance when dealing with the validity and fruitfulness of the Sacraments. In this brief study of the necessity of internal intention for the validity of a Sacrament, nothing will be said of the matter and form. These two other essential elements for the validity of the Sacraments have been modified in the Modernist Church so as to render most of the Sacraments invalid regardless of the intention of the minister of the Sacrament.
On this point it may be worthwhile to remind the reader that Pope Pius XII issued a doctrinal statement when he promulgated the Apostolic Constitution of 1947 Sacramentum ordinis wherein were clearly and definitively stated the words essential for valid ordination to priesthood and consecration to the episcopacy. Paul VI changed the words which Pope Pius XII declared essential. In this way, anyone ordained or consecrated following the mutilated form imposed by Paul VI is not a valid priest or a valid bishop.
Heresy generally shows itself externally as a controversy. When the controversy reaches a point where the legitimate authority is spurned in settling a matter, the next step is obstinacy which then sets itself up as the authority. A false authority will invariably teach false doctrine because it does not have the grace of the Holy Ghost to guide it. The earliest question of the validity of a consecration was that of the case of Novatian, the anti-pope. Novatian was the first to write a theological treatise in Latin. He was a Roman theologian. Besides this, he had tremendous administrative ability that won him not a little renown. That Novatian was not an insignificant clergyman may be adduced from the fact that he, as a priest, had charge of Rome after Pope Fabian was martyred (A.D. 250). Novatian had charge of the whole church during the vacancy of the see. He wrote many letters in the name of the Church to churches throughout the world. Only three of these letters survive. Novatian was bitterly attacked by his adversaries.
Unfortunately, most of the information we have about him was written by his enemies. It stands to reason that such reports would be colored with passion and prejudice. One polemic against Novatian does state the following: "that as long as Novatian was in the Church of Christ, he wept over the sins of his neighbors as if they were his own, bore the burdens of his brethren, as the Apostle exhorts, and strengthened with his exhortations those who were weak in divine faith." Novatian was not a heretic. He became a schismatic because he vigorously opposed Cornelius who, in the eyes of Novatian and many Roman theologians was too lax in regard to those who had sacrificed to idols during the Decian persecution. Novatian was a rigorist and did not favor the reconciliation of the lapsed pope Cornelius (25 1- 253) claims that Novatian enticed three ignorant provincial bishops to Rome, got them drunk with wine, and then forced them to give him episcopal consecration (Eusebius, Eccl. Hist. VI,43).
Cornelius called this consecration "a shadowy and empty imposition of hands". He also claimed that Novatian obtained the episcopacy "by fraud and treachery". In the seventeenth century, Henri de Valois (d.1676) makes the following note in Eusebius' passage:"Cornelius calls this an imperfect and empty ordination, because it was solemnized by bishops of another diocese, and not by the bishops of Ostia, Tibur, and others who had the right and power of ordaining the bishops of Rome; it was also ineffectual and vain, because it was done by men who were drunk, and by force, at the tenth hour of the day, none of the clergy or people being present; and, lastly, because another bishop was already ordained."
Keeping in mind that the Bishop of Rome equates Vicar of Jesus Christ, it follows that anyone consecrated as bishop of Rome is by that fact elected to the Papacy. This is probably the ground for the argument of Cornelius regarding the right and power of certain bishops to consecrate the bishop of Rome, and hence in effect making a Pope.
The next case deals with the administration of a sacrament in jest. It is said that Athanasius, while at play, baptized his playmates. Alexander, Bishop of Alexandria, saw this through his window. After it was over, he called the boys and questioned them. The bishop decided that there had been a valid baptism.
Another matter was that of St. Genesius who, apparently, while an actor on the stage mimicked the Christian rites and pretending conversion requested his fellow actors to baptize him. Subsequently, Genesius suffers martyrdom as a Christian. Was he validly baptized? Even this example does not lack for imprecision. It is not clear whether the actor, Genesius, was truly converted or whether the "sudden conversion" was part of the mimicking.
According to this legend which appears to have various aspects, it seems that St. Augustine used it in his book on Baptism against the Donatists. Most people are familiar with the hypothetical cases that are so easily conceived, but seldom - if ever - are born. It is not permitted, according to the rules of logic, to pass from possibility to actual fact in argumentation. For, what is gratuitously assumed may be equally gratuitously denied. No conclusions can follow from mere assumption.
He compares the case of Genesius, who allegedly received Baptism in a spirit of mimicry with the reception of Baptism deceitfully in the Church. He understands by "deceit" the outward manifestation of a belief which is not held interiorly, or a profession of a resolve to lead a Christian life belied by the real desire merely to obtain some material advantage. In our day, one might cite examples of false "traditionalist" clergy whose only tradition is the opportunity to enrich themselves by pretending tradition so as to easily enter the service of unwary and misguided laity. Their "tradition" is superficial mimicry.
When St. Augustine speaks of evil ministers, he refers to them as "false", "deceitful" and insincere". But, it should be carefully noted that these terms do not necessarily mean a pretended intention which was not really there in the administration of the Sacraments. These words apply to lack of intention in mimic baptism on the stage. Even in such cases, it is conceivable that a play would have a scene wherein someone is baptized. Thus, a mimicked baptism need not be malicious either.
The entire text of St. Augustine follows:
"The question is also commonly raised whether Baptism is to be approved [a vague word, not distinguishing between validity and fruitfulness] if received from one who had not himself received it, if, from some promptings of curiosity, he had chanced to learn how it ought to be given; and whether it makes any difference in what spirit the recipient receives it, whether in pretense or without pretense [simulatio]: if in pretense, whether in deceit, as in the Church, or in what is thought to be the Church; or, in jest, as in a play: and which is the more wicked, to receive it deceitfully [fallaciter] in the Church, or in heresy or schism without falseness, that is, with a sincere heart: and whether it be worse to receive it deceitfully in heresy, or in a play with faith, if one were to be moved by a sudden conviction in the midst of his acting. And yet, if we compare even such a one with him who receives it deceitfully in the Catholic Church itself, I should be surprised at any doubt about which of the two should be preferred: for I do not see what avail can be the intention [animus] of him who gives in truth to him who receives in falseness.
"But let us consider, in the case even of the minister acting deceitfully in Catholic unity itself, whether such should be rather received as Baptism, or that which is given in a play, if one were suddenly convinced and received it in faith: or, whether it be not true that as regards the men themselves, there is very great difference between a believing recipient in a play and a mocking recipient in the Church; but, as regards the genuineness (integritatem) of the sacrament there is no difference. For if it makes no difference to the genuineness of the sacrament in the Catholic Church, whether some act deceitfully or sincerely, so long as both do the same thing, then why it should make a difference outside, I do not see, provided the recipient is not cloaked by pretense, but changed by religious conviction.
"Has the sincerity of people dealing with the sacraments more power over them to make them valid, than deceitfulness, whether in minister or recipient, to make them vain? And, yet, if the deceitfulness is afterwards revealed, no one seeks a repetition of the sacrament, but the pretense is either punished with excommunication or set right by Penance. (I.e. neither the goodness nor badness of the persons concerned affects the validity.) But the safe course for us, is not to advance with any rash judgment in setting forth a view which has neither been raised in any provincial Council of the Catholic Church nor decided in a general one; but to have complete confidence only in asserting things which have been clearly established by the consent of the universal Church, under the direction of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
"Nevertheless, if any were to press me supposing I were duly seated in a Council where a question were raised on points like these - to declare my own opinion, without having heard the views of others whose judgment I would rather follow: then; if I felt as I do now while I write this, I should not hesitate to say that everyone possesses Baptism, wherever he received it and from whatever sort of men, provided that it were consecrated by the words of the gospel, and received without pretense and with some degree of faith; although it would be of no profit to them for the salvation of their souls if they were without charity, which grafts them into the Catholic Church. 'For although I have faith', says the Apostle, 'so that I could remove mountains, but have not charity, I am nothing.' (1 Cor. 13, 2) Just as already, from the decrees of our predecessors, I have no hesitation in saying that all those have Baptism who, though they receive it deceitfully, yet receive it in the Church, or where the Church is thought to be by those in whose society it is received, of whom it is said, 'They went out from us', (I John 2: 19). But if there was no society of those who so believed, and if the man who received it did not himself hold such belief, but the whole thing was done as a farce, or a comedy, or a jest. If were asked whether the baptism which was thus conferred should be approved, I should declare my opinion that we ought to pray for the declaration of God's judgment through the medium of some revelation, seeking it with united prayer and earnest groaning of suppliant devotion, humbly deferring all the time to the decision of those who were to give their judgment after me, in case they should set forth anything as already examined and settled. And, therefore, how much the more must I be considered to have given my opinion now without prejudice to the utterance of more diligent research or authority higher than my own." (De Bapt. contra Donat.7, 53, .101.P.L.43, 242-43)
The great impetus in the study of the sacraments took place in the 12th century. It was at this time that theologians gave their attention to the question of the minister's mind and intention. Hugh of St. Victor (d.1141) indicated that even in cases where there is some levity accompanying the administration of the sacrament, the reality of the sacrament need not be destroyed. He writes:
"Question is also raised about those who are baptized in mimicry, that is, jocosely, whether they receive the true and full sacrament of Baptism. It must be understood that it is one thing to give or receive something in jest or derision and still wish to give or receive and to intend this in every way, namely, that the thing jokingly given or received be really given and received. It is another thing to do something which has the outward appearance of this, and yet not to wish to do this and not to intend that this is the intention of baptizing, even if due reverence does not exist in the performance, there is in truth the sacrament, since the action is done fully and this is intended, in spite of the fact that the agent must be blameworthy because he does not worthily do what is done and intended.
"But it is quite absurd that where there is no intention of doing a thing, the thing should be said to exist merely on account of the appearance of it, an appearance which is not deliberately chosen for the purpose of the thing, but arises from some other circumstance. Thus certain ignorant people think that the words which were instituted to consecrate the Eucharist, if said over bread and wine, by anyone; anywhere, and for whatsoever purpose, have the effect of consecration and sanctification: as if the sacraments of God were so instituted that they allow no reasonable use by the minister, but by some kind of violent, irrational and pertinacious force arrive at their effect without any intention or will on the part of those who use them. I brought my child to the bath.
I came to the water not to baptize, but to bathe; not to give a sacrament, but to wash away dirt and to help health. I put my child into the water, but because I wanted him to grow up well and be a useful man, I happened to say, as I might say in eating or drinking, in ploughing or sowing, I said: 'In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost: You come and say to me that my child is baptized. I admit he has been bathed, I deny he has been baptized. But if you imagine he has been baptized because when I bathed him I said: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, then the bit of bread has also been baptized because when I dipped it I said: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. See, then, and realize that the work of God's ministries ought to be reasonable, and one ought not to forejudge merely by appearances where there is no intention." (De Sacramentis, lib.2, p.2,13, P.L. 176,458 sq)
With reference to the legend of St. Genesius, Peter Lombard states that "it does not appear to the wise that there is a true Baptism where there is no intention of baptizing".As regards the Holy Eucharist, the SENTENTIAE DIVINITATIS of that period is even stronger:
"Three things are needful that this change should come about: Order, action, intention. Order, that there should be a priest; action, that those words should be said; intention, that he should utter them with the intention that the bread and wine should be changed into the true flesh and blood. For if he utters them to instruct a deacon how to consecrate, no change is produced."It is possible that the first time the use of the expression "an intention of doing what the Church does" is found in Prevostin (d.1210).
William of Auxerre (d.1231) says: "If a minister uses the right form of words and has the intention of doing what the Church does, taking the expression in a broad way, for instance, if he intends to do what the Church is accustomed to do, it would be a Baptism." Alexander of Hales and St. Bonaventure also maintain that an internal intention is necessary.
St. Albert the Great (d. 1280) says:"An intention on the part of the minister is required for Baptism; but not an intention of consecrating anything, but only of doing what the Church does, and this is expressed by the word of Baptism, in saying, 'I baptize thee ....' Hence, if this word is pronounced, with the intention of doing what the Church does, over one not baptized and not objecting then or afterwards, it is true Baptism; and in such circumstances the whole thing is not mimicry, because the intention expressed in the word of the first person was not mimicry. But if it was mimicry, and the subject object.~, then he obtains nothing."The obvious objection would be that there is a great danger of incertitude about the reality of the sacrament in view of the fact that we do not know what may be the internal intention of the priest.
St. Albert answers that the danger is not great: "because a general intention is expressed in the words of baptizing; and that intention is enough for the intention of the Church, namely, to do what the Church does; even though he does not believe it is good for anything; but such an intention suffices, as said."St. Thomas follows St. Albert. He demands an intention and proves it as follows:
"When a thing is indifferent to many uses, it must needs be determined to one, if that one has to be effected. Now those things which are done in the sacraments can be done with various intent; for instance, washing with water, which is done in Baptism, may be ordained to bodily cleanliness, to the health of the body, to amusement, and many other similar things. Consequently, it needs to be determined to one purpose, i.e. the sacramental effect, by the intention of him who washes. And this intention is expressed by the words which are pronounced in the sacraments, for instance the words I baptize thee in the name of the Father, etc ..."
It is significant that even though there may be minor differences concerning the explanation and degree of internal intention required, all agree that it is necessary for the validity of a Sacrament. Even St. Thomas who holds that using the words of the formula itself and meaning them is sufficient without any other intention, gives a warning: "and nothing else be said expressing the contrary". This means that there is no indication either at the moment of the administration of the Sacrament or at any other time that the private mind of the minister was contrary to his express actions and words. Should there be any indication that the minister did not actually mean the words he had spoken, then St. Thomas would hold that the intention was defective and there was no valid Sacrament. An interesting question is posed and the answer given by St. Thomas is quite instructive:
"If a demon appeared in the form of man and administered baptism, would that baptism be valid? St. Thomas answered:"I answer that the devil, if he appeared as a man, could perform the ceremonies of Baptism, but not confer the sacrament and this for two reasons. First, because the dispensation of the sacraments has been entrusted only to men, who share human nature with the Word Incarnate, from whom, in the nature he assumed, the sacraments are derived... Secondly, if the devil pretended to baptize, there would al ways be the fear that he did not do so with the intention of baptizing, which is needful for the sacrament, but with the intention of deceiving; because it is unlikely that he would secure so great a good for a man as is spiritual rebirth." (D.5, q.2, a.3, sol.1)
The necessity for a genuine intention cannot be made clearer: without it, the words themselves can be used for malicious deception. Pope Leo X condemned the following proposition of Luther:"If by impossibility the penitent were not contrite, or the priest did not seriously, but only in jest, absolve him, if nevertheless he believes himself absolved, he is most truly absolved". (Denz.752).This logically flows from the 'sola fides' position of Luther. It all comes down to what the recipient believes: "All which we believe that we receive, that we do actually receive, regardless of what the minister does or does not do, even though he act through dissimulation or in open mockery." (De Captivitate Babylonica). It might be noted that such errors as proposed by Luther are repeated among many traditionalist Catholics. A variation of this error is contained in the false application of the statement "the Church supplies what is lacking."
As has already been pointed out, it is not only the intention that is essential for the validity of the Sacrament, but this intention must be internal. This means that the external observance of the rites does not make the Sacrament valid - as some would continue to believe today despite the declarations of the Church, for example the pronouncement of the Holy Office in 1690 condemning the statement: "Baptism is valid, even if conferred by a minister who observes the full rite and external form of baptizing, but in his heart makes the resolve: I do not intend to do what the Church does". (Denz.1318)
Concerning Holy Orders: The Sacred Congregation of the Council gave a decision in the following cases (January 23, 1586): A bishop, before the Ordination ceremony, declared that he had no intention of ordaining my candidates who were under age, and that if any such received the imposition of hands, it would be an empty ceremony. The answer was that those under age were not ordained. In another case, that of Bishop Anthony Gonzalez de Acuna, Bishop of Charcas in South America, this bishop declared with an oath before an ordination ceremony that he intended not to confer orders on any candidate of mixed blood. Several such presented themselves and received the rite at his hands.
The case was referred to Rome and on February 13, 1682, the Sacred Congregation of the Council gravely rebuked the Bishop for his conduct. Nevertheless, this Sacred Congregation pronounced that the Orders were invalid in the case of those of mixed blood, and that all priestly acts performed by them were invalid.
Pope Leo XIII also deduced the invalidity of Anglican Orders both from defect of form and from defect of intention. There are those who conveniently pass over in silence this second ground for the invalidity of Anglican Orders.
The Pope stated: "With this intrinsic defect of form, therefore, is combined a defect of intention, equally necessary for the existence of a sacrament."Again, the reader may have heard the argument that claims to be Church doctrine based on this partial statement of Pope Leo XIII:"Concerning the mind or intention in itself, which is something internal, the Church does not pass judgment; but she is bound to judge of it in so far as it is externally manifested. Now, if a person has seriously and duly used the proper matter and form for performing or administering a sacrament, he is by that very fact presumed to have intended to do what the Church does."
If this were all that Pope Leo XIII had said on the matter, it would be evident that he is guilty of self-contradiction. He had just finished saying a few lines earlier that "with this defect of form is combined a defect of intention. In the case of the Anglicans, their denial of the sacrificing priesthood is expressed in the new rite which they instituted. This new rite manifested a different intention than that of the Church. Consequently, not only the form but the intention were defective.The same is true of the new rites in the Apostate Conciliar Church as imposed by the false pope, Paul VI in 1968. The ordinations of priests and consecration of bishops is invalid due to defect of form and defect of intention. Of equal importance to every serious Catholic is the question of validity of the recently deceased archbishop, Marcel Lefebvre and all those whom he had ordained and consecrated.
Based on the sound doctrine and practice of the Church, sufficient evidence which no reasonable person can deny shows that the Bishop who ordained and consecrated Marcel Lefebvre was a member of the Luciferian sect of Freemasons. This same individual, as a Cardinal, was one of the foremost leaders in promoting the undermining of the Catholic Church during and after Vatican II.If, as St. Thomas points out, Satan himself could not confect valid Sacraments because of lack of sufficient intention, is it not fair to conclude that nor can his dedicated followers? Only valid Sacraments give sacramental grace provided the recipient places no obstacle in the way. Invalid Sacraments are standard in the Conciliar Church which poses with brazen audacity as the "Roman Catholic Church". It is possible to turn ones back upon the truth and those who speak the truth. But, it is impossible to turn one's back on the God of truth Who will deal with each one on the Day of Judgment. Meanwhile, all that can be said is this: Those who have ears let them hear!

Forum Name: Colon and Rectal Cancers
Question: Metastatic Colon Cancer
|jeezmeneti66 - Tue Oct 23, 2007 9:16 pm
Share |
My father-in-law was diagnosed with metastatic colon cancer and went through chemo for probably two years or more. He actually went into remission during that time but it reappeared in his liver during that two years. He has since stopped treatments of any kind and that was about 5 months ago. I would like to know what are the outward signs that he is in the last stage or stages of his cancer? He has a family doctor trying to manage his pain but he has no tests to see if the cancer has spread. He doesn't want hospice so my husband and I are caring for him the best we can but it is getting increasingly difficult as he is becoming very absent minded and a little loopy. He is also very weak but insists on driving which scares my husband to death. He is taking Lortab for the pain and we originally thought that maybe the pain meds were causing him to "talk out of his head" but we are careful not to let him take to much so I don't believe that this is the cause. He has lost a lot of weight since discontinuing treatments but he drinks ensure everyday without fail. He has lost his appetite but eats at least once a day. It seems to upset his stomach and he gets very nauseous. He also takes phenergan and Cipro 500. He has a constant headache but he is having some teeth pulled in a few days and hopefully that will help with the headaches. He is on an antibiotoc from the dentist for the few days before the extraction. I just want to know what we should expect or an approximate on the stage that he is in.

I am sorry to hear about your father-in-law's condition. Where was his metastasis and how was it treated - only chemotherapy? Can you tell me which chemotherapy regimens he took?
We do not depend on symptoms to stage colon cancer. Rather, we tend to look for more objective evidence such as CT scan (most commonly used) when we suspect relapse.
I know this is a difficult situation, but with a lot of persuasion you may be able to convince him that there is always a risk that he loose all the good that he has achieved from his long course in chemotherapy. Tell him that any advice he gets from his doctor is subject to his consent. No one will force him to do anything, but neglecting himself is not the right thing to do.
I don't think he should be allowed to drive a car in this condition. He could harm someone else as well as himself.
Even if your father-in-law completely rejects the idea of following up with his doctor (that doesn't mean you should stop trying), you can always consult his doctor and ask him for advice.
Unfortunately, patients that go this course may end up requiring medical help at a late stage, when they basically are unable to resist attempts to do so. There is also very little that can be done for them at this stage.
Good luck and best wishes.

I attended a weekend workshop with Rich Logan that focused on how to safely and creatively give students adjustments while in yoga poses.
I am not a big adjuster-type teacher, not yet anyway. I rely on verbal cues and slight of touch to direct students.
This approach comes down to my relationship with receiving adjustments — sometimes I love them and want assistance going deeper, sometimes I hate them and just want to focus on staying within my flow.
This approach is also due to my confidence in giving adjustments — I'm not always sure what to do, how much pressure to apply, if the student will cringe beneath my touch.
I guess it has a lot to do with my own ego. (Tsk, tsk.) Nevertheless, I do want to stay open to adjustments because, in the end, it's all about what will benefit the student. And sometimes, it's an adjustment.
Some students are auditory learners. Some students are visual learners. And some students require you to manually help them experience/notice/feel until they can do it independently.
This weekend definitely gave me new confidence, and tools to apply to classes moving forward. Creating space-length (between hips/low ribs + between the upper back/lower back) and opening the heart were key end-results with most of the maneuvers we learned.
I am grateful that I invested this time in the yoga studio … over what was quite possibly the most beautiful weekend of the summer.
Below are snapshots (literally) of what we learned in this morning's session. I didn't whip my camera phone out throughout the workshop, unfortunately.

Woman Gave Birth after Marathon Race
Clearly Amber Miller, 27, didn't consider her pregnancy a good enough reason not to participate in a marathon race – and may have even found it to be an additional stimulation to win. The fact that she was 39 weeks into pregnancy proved no deterrent either.
Neither must she have thought that immediately upon completing the Chicago Marathon she would be called upon to give birth to her child… But that's exactly what happened.
Amber seemed to have completed the 26.2-mile stretch with no trouble at all, having outran her less burdened husband Joe Miller by a long chalk (she came 34,339th against his finishing 34,997th).
Her participation moved the audience to root for her with cries "Go pregnant lady" until she crossed the finish line, upon which feat she sat down to bite at her sandwich – but never finished it due to the onset of labors. She was whisked to the Central DuPage Hospital and delivered herself of daughter June, supposedly the first baby to ever have run a marathon!
June is the second child to the athletic Miller family.

The First Committee vote is a culmination of a long-drawn campaign and marks a dramatic shift in the affairs of the non-proliferation regime.
The world order seems to be on the cusp of a major transformation. A potential power realignment seems to slowly shaping up with a hitherto unlikely combination (at least partly) of Russia, China and Pakistan, seeking to challenge the great power status quo, or pushing for greater bipolarity in global affairs.
Associate Fellow, IDSA, Mr Vinod Kumar's chapter titled 'Between Idealism, Activism, and the Bomb: Why did India Reject the NPT?' was published in the Routledge edited volume 'Negotiating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty: Origins of the Nuclear Order, edited by Popp Roland, Liviu Horovitz and Andreas Wenger.
Given that the NSG may not be able to withhold the India membership question for long, in spite of China's inconsistent positions, it would be unwise on India's part to forfeit any advantage it has on the SCS issue.

She came home with a snow-white rose,
Its petals bleached of color and power and all that
there was left was flower, no scent, no memory,
just pallor.
She stole the thorns, whittled them down,
and placed them with a frown in a Valentine crown over her heart because,
because...she wanted someone to touch the rose,
the rose, and not her heart.
Then he arrived, and all he had were baskets of needles,
acupuncture needles, knitting needles, chopsticks sharpened
to killing needles,
And she was a ball of wool, a love-sick fool, and she let him,
No. She begged him to be a tool to knit
a tapestry, a travesty, a tragedy,
out of her,
and when he did,
she became
what he made.
They wore their creation, her and him.
They sat on in at their picnics and wrote on it in their dreams
and made love on it and wiped their mouths on it
after dinner,and sometimes used it when she shivered
and everytime she touched the cloth she lost a part
of herself that she'd sworn she'd protect
with the rose-thorns over her heart.
Over the years, the tapestry tore,
and their love wore out to a pout of a
rose bud when all its petals fell out and
she did not cry, did not cry
when the tapestry unraveled and
he drifted. He drifted, she stayed and replayed
the years of togetherness and oneness and wholeness and ownness
and when it all crumbled like the ashes of a burnt rose,
she smiled because she was safe,
she was safe.
He'd loved the tapestry, not her, she was still safe,
with the rose-thorn crown on her heart,
all he'd gotten was a part,
of her that she'd let him use,
the outer wool,
the shell,
but not her heart.

Follow The Telegraph's Glastonbury 2014 coverage
The beauty of Glastonbury is that it's not just about craning to catch a glimpse of the Pyramid Stage headliners from four miles away. Just as much – sometimes even more – fun can be found by stumbling out of the rain into some tucked-away tent to see a weird, wonderful or obscure band playing the gig of their lives. They probably won't be on Spotify, and you'll forget their ostentatious name by the time they're finished anyway. But you'll cherish that moment. Here are some of the band's that could make your festival in 2014.
New York Brass Band
Heaven (Shangri-La), Thursday-Sunday; Toad Hall, Friday
"New Orleans-inspired music from the mean streets of York," says the blurb on website of this parping seven-piece. That's York, Yorkshire. Despite having a name that might fall foul of the Trade Descriptions act, they do a pretty amazing cover of Daft Punk's Get Lucky though.
The perfect substitute for … Rudimental
The Shaolin Afronauts
Glade, Friday; Gully Outer-National Sunday
A few useful facts about this Adelaide troupe: 1. There are at least nine of them. 2. They play Afrobeat and avant-garde jazz. 3. They quite often perform wearing monastery robes and Mexican death masks. That's pretty much the sum of it.
The perfect substitute for … Sean Kuti and Egypt 80
The Summer House, Friday-Sunday; Bella's Field, A Little More Sensation Stage, Friday-Sunday.
Lekiddo is a singer, entertainer and producer. He's also the self-proclaimed "Lord of the Lobsters!". His motto is "pinchy pinchy kiss kiss" and he promises his various Glastonbury sets are going to be "lobsterlicious!" We've literally no idea what any of this all means, but we'd sure like to find out.
The perfect substitute for … Skrillex
Turtle Island
Pyramid Stage, Friday, 11.30-12.30
Carnivalesque 13-piece Japanese "punk orchestra" Turtle Island formed back in 1999, and set traditional music from around the world – Korea, India, Japan – to a driving punk-rock beat. David Bryne from Talking Heads is a fan, apparently.
The perfect substitute for … Arcade Fire
Echo and the Empress
John Peel Stage, Friday, 11.00-11.30
Aussie quintet who play sweet, melodic indie-pop. Last year they were nominated for Best Pop Band at something called the Fowlers Live Music Awards – but lost out to The Beards. Sad face.
The perfect substitute for … Little Dragon
Blackbeard's Tea Party
Avalon Stage, Friday, 14.20-15.15
A six-piece concert and ceilidh band, specialising in Celtic folk-rock standards and originals. A bit like York's answer to The Pogues, with cleaner fingernails.
The perfect substitute for … Jake Bugg
The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band
Acoustic Tent, Friday, 17.25-18.10 / West Holts Stage, Saturday, 11.45-12.45
Rootsy country-blues trio from Brown County, Indiana. If there are three musicians with cooler names than Reverend J. Payton, "Washboard" Breezy Peyton and Ben "Bird Dog" Bussell, we want to know about it.
The perfect substitute for … The Black Keys
Wood Burning Savages
BBC Introducing Stage, Friday
Alas, this lot aren't bearded lumberjacks having a moonshine-fuelled hoedown with home-made banjos. They're a Derry quartet who play danceable synth-pop and post-punk.
The perfect substitute for … Interpol
John Peel Stage, Saturday, 11.55-12.40
John "Reignwolf" Cook plays swampy rock 'n' roll, shot through with overdriven blues riffs. The Canadian has a bit of a reputation for unhinged live shows which often end up with him and his guitar covered in blood.
The perfect substitute for … Jack White
Other Stage, Sunday, 11.00-11.40
This Argentinian-Uruguayan eight-piece, who formed in 2002, have agreed to drag themselves away from watching the World Cup for long enough to open the Other Stage on Sunday with their experimental "electrotango" sound. To simplify, that's basically trip-hop, South American style.
The perfect substitute for … Massive Attack

It doesn't matter if you are going to hire an investment advisor or not. You will need to know about the market and the options you have. This way you will understand things better and perhaps your relationship with your adviser will generate better results.
Most people make the mistake of entrusting their money to a financial adviser thinking that this person will just step in and work wonders with their finances. This is not the case. If you don't know what is going on in the investment market chances are you wont be able to translate the information about your goals to the adviser. Knowing and being informed is the key here so that you get the most out of your investments.
The more you know the better. In addition to having a good understanding of the investment market, being able to read graphs and pie charts will enhance your efforts in selecting the right investments. It doesn't take much practice to figure things out but you should do it because it is your money that is on the line.
I am not saying, go take an investments course just get familiarized with investment concepts. Some basic training should be enough. Down the line and when you get some experience with the markets you will be able to make investment choices on your own. The thing is that in the beginning even if you think you understand what's going on you will make mistakes. Even seasoned investment and financial advisers make mistakes don't be disillusioned by thinking that you wont.
After you have saved some money and you have familiarized yourself with the world of investing then it will be time to select your investment adviser. I personally work and live in downtown Toronto so I selected an investment adviser Toronto. You should select someone in your area as well so that it is easy for you to meet with them.

The Treasury is to pave the way for the first Sharia-compliant UK government bond as part of its focus on making the UK a centre for Islamic finance.
Economic secretary to the Treasury Ed Balls will today announce that he is to ask officials from both the Treasury and the UK Debt Management Office to look into the Government issuing Shariah-compliant financial instruments.
Launching the feasibility study at a Financial Services Authority conference today, he will say: "The Islamic finance market is growing globally year on year, and we want London to play a key role in this area. Domestically, we will do everything we can to promote new ways for British Muslims to bank, save and borrow using Islamic finance products."
Under Sharia law, normal financial transactions cannot take place, specifically those that involve interest payments and certain types of investment such as those involving alcohol.
Instead, in this case, the study will look at how best to use issue sukuk bonds, which are asset-backed trust certificates.
Sukuks work in Sharia form by placing an asset behind the bond, so if a sukuk were property-backed, for example, the owner would receive payments as rent rather than interest.
The study will look at the benefits and costs for the Government of becoming a sovereign sukuk issuer, and looking into how practical it is.
Mr Balls is also to ask National Savings and Investments to look at the Government becoming an issuer of retail Islamic financial products as part of its next product review.

You know how sometimes you feel so happy you can't stop smiling, or you let out a little giggle because you're just giddy? Â I can't say I've every jumped due to an overwhelming feeling, but looking at this picture, it seems like an appropriate thing to do.
I hope happiness overwhelms you at some point this week. Â It's summer! The sun is shining, it's warm outside, friends are congregating. Find a moment to relax and allow yourself to lift the weight of the world off of your shoulders so you can litterally jump for joy.
Your worries will wait for you. Â And you'll be stronger and able to tackle them if you give yourself a moment to be happy.

Exclusive: Israel lobby infiltrates UK student movement
Israeli embassy influencing students and founding youth groups in main parties, Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit reveals.
By Al Jazeera Investigative Unit
January 11, 2017
Israel is influencing student, activist and parliamentary groups in the UK, offering financial and strategic assistance in order to gather support among young organisers and shape British politics, Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit reveals.
For six months, undercover reporter Robin (an alias) infiltrated pro-Israeli groups working to counter the powerful and growing movement against the illegal occupation of Palestinian land.
He uncovered a close link between Shai Masot, whose business card described him as a senior political officer at the Israeli embassy in London, and a network of politicians, activists and analysts in Britain who are sympathetic to Israel.
The aggressive lobbying comes as the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement swells, and as the opposition Labour Party is led by Jeremy Corbyn, a vocal supporter of Palestinian interests.
BDS enjoys wide support at British universities; in June 2015 the National Union of Students (NUS) voted for the boycott.
A year later the NUS elected its first black, Muslim, female president: Malia Bouattia – a pro-Palestinian human rights supporter.
Unlike the NUS, the Union of Jewish Students (UJS) comprising 64 Jewish societies at British universities, strongly opposes the BDS movement.
Plotting against NUS president
Michael Rubin, former chair of Labour students, involved in plotting to bring down 'really bad' NUS president Malia Bouattia
Al Jazeera's Investigative Unit discovered that the UJS not only received money from the Israeli embassy, but also attempted to influence the NUS presidency election, and even oust Bouattia following her victory.
Michael Rubin, a young parliamentary officer and pro-Israel activist who claimed to work "with the ambassador and embassy quite a lot", told Robin that Bouattia was "really bad" and "awful".
"We were campaigning for the person running against her because we didn't want her to win," said Rubin, who was at the time of the election chairman of the Labour Students group.
During the election campaign, Richard Brooks [above], NUS vice president, held "secret" meetings with Russell Langer, UJS campaign director, and Rubin.
"We'd have our secret little purpose meeting where we'd plan how to get moderate people with good politics and any number of things elected to certain places," he said, adding that the group worked "quite closely together".
Robin explored with Brooks the possibility of ousting Bouattia.

"You can speak to me because I'm helping organise them," said Brooks, who once took the unusual step of criticising the NUS president on national radio.
The investigation also reveals that the UJS sent Brooks on a paid trip to Israel, something he failed to mention in his radio interview.
The NUS represents more than four million students.
Notable politicians who have served as NUS leader include Labour politicians Jack Straw, the former foreign secretary and Charles Clarke, a former home secretary.
Elsewhere, Adam Schapira, who ran an unsuccessful bid for the UJS presidency, told our undercover reporter: "The Israeli embassy in the UK gives money to UJS."
Schapira earlier worked with the Pinsker Centre, a campus-based think-tank which aims to "intelligently educate about Zionism and the Arab-Israeli conflict".
Schapira confirmed to our reporter that the powerful American pro-Israel lobby, AIPAC, is channelling money to British campuses through the Pinsker Centre.
"Groups like AIPAC gave some money," he said.
Such groups work hard to counter the BDS movement, which is modelled after the mass campaign to isolate South Africa during the apartheid era, and aims to pressure Israel through tactics of economic and cultural isolation.
Labour in focus
Chairwoman of Labour Friends of Israel Joan Ryan. She speaks to Israeli plotter Masot 'most days'.
Throughout the investigation, Robin posed as a graduate activist with strong sympathies towards Israel who was keen to help combat the BDS movement.
Masot, the Israeli embassy diplomat, insisted to Robin that it was particularly important for him to build support for Israel among all levels of the Labour Party, which he said was being run by "crazy" leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn.
At one point, he offered Robin a job running the youth wing of the Labour Friends of Israel (LFI).
In a discussion at a Tube station, Robin asked Masot: "Have you ever built something, like a group?"
Masot replied: "In Israel and here … Nothing that I can share but yeah. It's good to leave those organisations independent, but we help them to actually [establish]."
Masot tutored Robin step-by-step on how to set up a new pro-Israel group, and offered the embassy's support in securing an "interesting speaker" at events.
Conservatives don't need pro-Israel education
The Israeli diplomat boasted that he had the idea to form a youth branch of the Conservative Friends of Israel (CFI) – an offshoot of the 2,000-member strong group – that was realised last year.
LFI and CFI were founded in the 1950s and 1970s respectively.
"[But] there's no one who's educating the grassroots of the party … Specifically in the Labour. Conservatives don't need it," Masot told Robin.
Influencing opinion
In a further attempt to influence the opposition, Masot said that he was involved with the youth arm of the Fabian Society, an influential Labour Party think-tank, and that he once "took a group of Fabians to Israel".
Dr Martin Edobor, NHS doctor and National Chair of the Young Fabians, the under-31 section of the Fabian Society
One "Fabian", Martin Edobor, later told Robin in a London pub that Masot was "a great guy".
Edobor added that he had been on a delegation to Israel, and dismissed a recent story in Haaretz about Israel cutting water supply in the occupied West Bank as "false" and "propaganda".
On its website, the Fabian Society says it is "a pluralist movement to create space for open debate" which believes "in the fight against inequality".
L, Michael Freeman, Israeli embassy
Later, in a private meeting at a London hotel with embassy staff and British supporters of Israel, Masot introduced Robin to Michael Freeman, head of civil affairs at the Israeli embassy.
Freeman told Robin that the embassy was looking for someone to "research into the different BDS movements, who they are, what they are", before Gilad Erdan, Israel's minister for strategic affairs, took to the stage as guest of honour.
Erdan's ministry's main task is to counter the BDS movement worldwide
According to Yossi Melman, an Israeli journalist and writer who specialises in security and intelligence affairs, the ministry recruits "mainly former intelligence officers".
Masot, who is well-connected, then suggested that Robin contact Rubin, the parliamentary officer, for advice on establishing a new group. Rubin told our undercover reporter that Labour MP and LFI chairwoman Joan Ryan spoke with Masot "most days".
"The Labour Party at the moment is not in a good place to say the least," Rubin said, as he advised Robin to befriend "young people coming through who have … good views on Israel".
Regarding the Young LFI group, Rubin said:
"I think we just have to be careful that not to be seen as 'young Israeli embassy' … We do work really closely together, it's just publicly we just try to keep LFI as a separate identity to the embassy of course. Being LFI allows us to reach out to people who wouldn't want to get involved with the embassy. Ultimately we want the same end goal of getting more people to be pro-Israel and understand the conflict."
Ben White, a researcher and journalist who has written about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, told Al Jazeera that Israel increasingly seeks to influence British politicians as fears over the BDS movement grow.
"We know that the Israeli foreign ministry – and also interestingly the Israeli ministry of strategic affairs, which it actually seemed that this individual [Masot] is an employee of – are very focused on fighting what they see as dangerous, powerful, solidarity activism, with particular focus on trying to thwart and undermine BDS campaign," said White.

NUS Vice-President caught on film planning to oust President
An NUS Vice-President was filmed by an undercover Al Jazeera reporter admitting that he was involved in organising groups working against the NUS President Malia Bouattia
By Jenny Sterne, Mancunian
January 11, 2017
Richard Brooks, the National Union of Students' (NUS) Vice-President, has been implicated in an attempted plot to oust Malia Bouattia, as revealed by an undercover Al Jazeera investigation.
Brooks was secretly filmed by the undercover reporter, claiming that he played a significant role in attempts to undermine Bouattia.
The undercover reporter claimed to be a political activist linked to Shai Masot, the Israeli diplomat who was caught out prior to these revelations plotting to "take down" MPs he viewed as hostile to Israel.
When asked if Brooks knew how to get in touch with people who opposed Bouattia, Brooks told the reporter, he could "speak to me, because I've been organising them".
The investigation by Al Jazeera also revealed that Brooks had visited Israel on a trip paid for by the Union of Jewish Students (UJS) and alleges that Brooks was involved in secret meetings prior to Bouattia's election with Russel Langer, the UJS campaign director.
Secret meetings, Russel Langer, the UJS campaign director.
According to the Al Jazeera investigation, Michael Rubin, who at the time of Bouattia's election was National Chair of Labour students, told them that in secret meetings with Brooks they would plan "how to get moderate people with good politics and any number of things elected to certain places."
He also told the reporter that he worked "with the ambassador and embassy quite a lot" and stated that Bouattia was "really bad" and "awful".
Bouattia has been repeatedly accused of anti-Semitism, often referencing her description of Birmingham as a "Zionist outpost".
A report published last year by the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee claimed that Bouattia "does not appear to take sufficiently seriously the issue of anti-Semitism on campus".
In response to these allegations, many involved in the NUS have tweeted their responses, including Hareem Ghani, Women's Officer for the NUS who stated: "Just going to say it as it is, I've never been so disappointed work for this organisation [sic]. Solidarity to @MaliaBouattia."
Richard Brooks however called the claims "wrong and offensive", tweeting his response in which he states: "It's no surprise to anybody who knows me, or has heard me speak publicly, that myself and Malia don't see eye to eye… It's therefore not a shock or an exposé that I politically organise against what I think to be an ineffectual and damaging Presidency for Students' Unions and students."
He added that he was "proud to stand with UJS in ensuring everyone feels they have voiced in our open, inclusive, democratic debates".
However he claims to have never met, to his knowledge, someone from the Israeli Government, instead arguing that "the 'exposé' documentary shows me saying that I do politics and disagree with the far left. None of these thing [sic] are surprises."
The Campaigns Director for UJS, Josh Nagli said in a Facebook post that, "our work taking student leaders to Israel and Palestine is not secret, it's even mentioned on UJS' Wikipedia page, and the fact that some participants choose not to broadcast their experiences reflects the toxic nature of student politics".
He added that "the insidious suggestion that Jewish students — or Jews in Britain more broadly — slavishly support specific government policies or actions, conspire with or take direction from Israeli officials, is grossly offensive".
When asked for a statement on the allegations, an NUS spokesperson told The Mancunion the "NUS takes these allegations seriously. We are looking into them and, when we have all the information available, the behaviour of NUS officers will be reviewed and appropriate action taken".
The revelations surrounding Richard Brooks were not the only Israeli influence within the student movement uncovered by the six month investigation. The undercover reporter alleges that the Israeli embassy is influencing students and founding youth groups in an attempt to infiltrate the UK student movement.
The reporter was offered support by Israeli diplomat Masot to set up a new pro-Israel group. Masot boasted to the reporter that he had been involved in setting up a youth branch of Conservative Friends of Israel and was involved in the youth arm of the Fabian Society, a Labour party think-tank.
He offered the reporter a job running the youth wing of Labour Friends of Israel, as "there's no-one who's educating the grassroots of the party… Specifically in the Labour. Conservatives don't need it."
The Israeli Embassy released a statement when Masot's remarks concerning hostile MP's were released, apologising for his comments and stating that he would be "ending his term of employment with the embassy shortly".
The Mancunion has contacted the Israeli Embassy for a further statement about these allegations, and has reached out to Malia Bouattia and the Union of Jewish Students for comments.
This is a developing story and will be updated.

Love of God, Family,Friendship and music.
1996 – Ste Marie Parish Manchester, NH. Chris, Greg and I all played in the Ste. Maries contemporary music group and developed a relationship beyond just getting together on Sunday to play. I approached both of them with the idea of doing a show with one twist, the music style we would be doing would be country. At the time New england was not really a hot bed for country music and we were stepping out on a limb. They both agreed to the challenge, The "Lehousiana Boys" were born and we performed our first show at The Hevey Theatre in Manchester, NH in November of 96. The show was a success and not only was it our first show it was our first sell out show with over 400 people in attendance.
1997 – Memorial High School Manchester, NH. Scot Gibbs enters the band and for our second show we were invited to play at a local high school as part of a fundraiser for the wrestling team. Being the second show it was sure to set us apart as we started to install props on the stage. As people walked into the theatre they were initially shocked to see an 18 by 10 foot guitar laying in front of the stage. As show time approached the 700 people in attendance took their seats. With the initial bang of the drums the guitar started to lift so it stood verticle in front of the crowd. As the crowd sat in awe it began to make its way down with one unexpected surprise, I was standing in the sound hole. It was truely an experience for everyone including me. That night we played about 2 and half hours to once again a sell out crowd.
1997 – Riverfest Manchester, NH. When we started this thing just 10 months earlier we could have never guessed we would be opening for a major act. Mr Charlie Daniels was coming to town and we had the honor of opening for him. It was truely one of the best things I have ever done up to that time. At this show I met Gary Crane (Capital Productions) neither one of us knew it at the time but years later we would form a partnership that would take us in a whole new direction.
1998 – With the help of Gary Crane we had an album release party at the Capital Center for the Arts in Concord, NH. Again this was quite the experience with over 1100 in attendance we sure did make a mark in the New England country music scene.
This is the origin of the band! Here we are in 2008 and many things have changed but yet still remain the same.
Along the way an album was made, some studio sessions in Nashville followed and local and national awards were won. Vinnie also joined the band adding steel and fiddle, but nothing could compare to the pure joy of watching each member of the band grow in faith, love and ultimately the size of our families. Marriages and kids soon followed and we found ourselves balancing family life and music life. One things that was clear we would stick together and make it work.
As in any family the band had some great times and some sad times. In 2006 Chris Allain at the young age of 37 past away from a rare cancer called Osteosarcoma (www.fatherswish.org). It truely put a whole new perspective on what was important in the life of our band. We stepped back and realized what we had was truely special and most likely could not be duplicated. In thinking about it, why would we try to duplicate something that could not be duplicated. Instead let's create something new.
2006 – Jarrod Williams steps in for Chris and the band looked toward the future. With continued trips to Nashville, work began on an album and the shows kept coming. With opening for many acts and legends like Charlie Daniels, Marshal Tucker, Alabama, Pam Tillis, Little Feat, The Mavericks, Molly Hatchett, Fog Hat, Gary Allen, Leanne Rimes, Sammy Hagar, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney and Travis Tritt we felt that we were prepared for the next phase.
2008 – Al Gagnon joins the band and adds a whole new demension with Keyboards. Also, in July of 2008, The Thompson Entertainment group came on board stepping us up to the next level and one step closer to a possible label deal.
With the soon to be released album "13" produced by Tom Mcbee, what the future holds for me and the band I could not guess but, we are surely enjoying the ride. One thing is for sure we will continue the formula that has worked for us for so many years.
Love of God, Family,Friendship and music.

There are home security systems and then there are home security systems. While many middle class Americans opt for so called cookie cutter options or even for more fancy affairs with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, sensors on all doors and windows, glass break detectors, a wireless camera or two, and even motion detectors, there is a higher end spectrum where price isn't much of an issue. High end security systems are quite varied in form and function; however, there are some features that those with loose budgets should consider.
Integration: Just as you have your home theater system connected to your computer, you can bundle up your home security system and connect it to everything else. The idea is to make each component talk to one another, to communicate. You can easily tie all your systems together through your computer. Using a program like Digilinix, you'll be able to control everything from your TV to your garage door through your computer. This makes it easy to view surveillance footage on your computer or flat screen TV; you can even record it and play it back with your DVR.
Occupancy Sensors: Another feature to add to your home security arsenal is an occupancy sensor. This does more to save electricity and to help out with the global warming issue, than it does to save your home from thieves, but it's still a great feature. Occupancy sensors consist of passive infrared detectors and door contacts which detect when someone's in a room. If there is no movement for a significant amount of time, it will shut the lights off in that room and adjust the temperature as well. Of course, this is just a first step in being able to protect your home from intruders but it's certainly a fine defense.

Keywords: The other person was Billy Holiday. I wonder how many sound engineers are moved to tears today? Within two years, both Lester Young and Billy Holiday had died. "The Sound of Jazz" was also released as a recording by CBS' then-subsidiary, Columbia Records, although the gramophone version is actually a rehearsal that preceded the telecast (recorded on December 4th at Columbia's 30th Street studios), and is not its soundtrack. The LP was released in 1958 as Columbia CL 1098, with liner notes by Eric Larrabee, and the cover photo by Tom Yee. It is the only LP of a Seven Lively Arts presentation. The recording does not include all of the performers on the TV show. Hilbert's Pumpkin Records released the LP The Real Sound of Jazz which is the actual soundtrack to the television program. They videoed Fine and Mellow may be on you tube, This is my tribute to that moment in history.

Made In Heaven
The couple soon found themselves standing in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, welcoming them to Heaven. The young woman asks Peter if they could get married in Heaven, since their time on Earth was cut short. He replies that he'll get back with them on that request.
A month later, St. Peter finds them and announces that they can – in fact – get married in Heaven. To his surprise, the woman asks, "Just wondering, if things don't work out will we be able to get a divorce?"
With a stern look in his eye, Peter blurts out "Look lady, it took me a month to find a preacher up here… you really think I'm gonna find a lawyer?"
