Funny Things - The Things We See & Read!
I can't take credit for this first picture :) My friend took it, and I just had to post it here - it's just too funny ;) Do you think Tom Cruise gave his endorsement for this restaurant? haha!
The name of this hair salon cracks me up!! "R's Miracle - Beauty & Hair Correction Studio" - haha! I think I would be embarrassed for people to see me walk in there :) haha!
They rebuilt a road here in the Capital that is just a traffic jam mess (AFTER they rebuilt it!)... so now they always have men to man the road. This guy's sign made the smile the other day (it's always nice to smile when you're stuck in traffic :)).
Here's a close-up (sort of ) of his sign :) "Go Swlo!" :)
This was the picture on a box of medicine for one of the kiddos the other day :) It made me laugh :)
This toy in the toy store was funny to me. It's a boy riding on a buffalo while playing the flute... but what's just as funny is the writing that was on the box....
haha! "Deligent Cattle & Lovely Boy" :)
I love funny things!

So should Aashini be expecting a deligent cattle and lovely boy in her Easter basket?? That is HILARIOUS!!
And I love the Tom Cruise sign. Reminds me of the really old picture of Britney Spears that dentist used over by the old Big Chill.
- allhisblessings said...
I love these pictures. I laughed loudly at the Tom Cruise photo, and just what is a "deligent cattle" anyway?

I really did laugh out loud! So funny!
- Sarah White said...
Haha, those are great. I really love the Tom Cruise endorsement. :-) We got Harper a toy similar to the "deligent cattle and lovely boy," but it's a man on a camel playing the guitar. I think teh box said something like "camel superhero and rock musician."

I was so drunk I jumped off the toilet and dove face first into a cat's litter box.
I was so drunk I was waiting at a bus stop and needed to pooh. I decided to drop my trousers and do it, but with no toilet paper i grabbed a leaf. I was pushing one out when the bus arrived. The driver stopped, and i was squatting with half a shit hanging out, at the moment he shook his head at me, i opened my mouth to protest, but all that came out was vomit, he left. To summarize, vomited whilst squatting and shitting, bus driver refused to take me.
I was in bed with my girlfriend and I was so drunk that I couldn't make it hard.
One time I threw a party and I was so drunk I blacked out pretty early into the night, and woke up stumbling into the bathroom to puke the next morning. I slipped on something soggy. It was a pair of boxers. I found eight more soggy pairs that day.
I was so drunk last night that I puked everywhere in front of my mom and my future boss.
I was so drunk that I tried to type the full story but it exceeded the 600 character limit. Long story short, me and my wingman got plastered at a ratchet bar, got ripped off by a gap toothed hooker while the police dragged me from the wrong motel room to mine, only to contemplate the origin on period blood on the bed and the locations of our missing wallets. Went to work 2 hours later and spent the day half drunk and strung out on caffeine pills, only to drown our sorrows at the same bar and hire another hooker.
I was so drunk that after I left a party with a few friends they lost me in a parking lot and had to search 30 mins for me only to find me passed out near a car.
I was so drunk once, I stumbles onto this website to find something entertaining, I read a whole page before I realized I was on the wrong website.
I was so drunk last night that I left a party I was throwing at my house when my parents showed up out of nowhere. I started claiming they were undercover cops and called friends to come pick me up because my parents were about to arrest me. I threw my phone and keys because I thought they were tracking me (still have not found my keys) and finally woke up the next morning in a ditch about 1 and a half miles from home.
My friend was so drunk that I had to leave him home while me and the guys go out, 1 am I'm getting text messages from my 11 year old brother that my friend locked himself in the bathroom and won't come out and that he heard glass breaking, so I come home and get the door open he broke my toilet and shower glass door.

Yankees announce HOPE Week 2012 details
The New York Yankees are proud to announce details of HOPE Week 2012 (Helping Others Persevere & Excel), a unique week-long community program that brings to light five remarkable stories intended to inspire individuals into action in their own communities.
Initiated in 2009 and now in its fourth year, HOPE Week is rooted in the fundamental belief that acts of goodwill provide hope and encouragement to more than just the recipient of the gesture.
Each day during HOPE Week, from Monday, June 25, through Friday, June 29, the Yankees will reach out to an individual, family or organization worthy of recognition and support. Whenever possible, the Yankees will attempt to personally connect with individuals in the settings of their greatest successes or at locations that honor the spirit of their noble endeavors. All outreach in the community ultimately culminates with recognition at Yankee Stadium during a Yankees game.
This year is the first in which the Yankees' six U.S.-based affiliates will each hold their own HOPE Weeks, truly making this initiative one that the entire organization stands behind in words and in action.
HOPE Week is about people helping people. The one thing everybody has—no matter their background or financial situation—is time. By involving every one of our players and coaches, along with Manager Joe Girardi, General Manager Brian Cashman, our minor league affiliates and front office staff, we are sending the message that everyone can give of themselves to make their community a better place. Equally significant during HOPE Week is gaining publicity for the highlighted causes and organizations. The greatest challenge facing many not-for-profits is generating interest, awareness and funding for their missions.
Earlier this year, the Yankees first recognized the return of HOPE Week with a pregame ceremony on March 23 at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, prior to their spring training game against the Minnesota Twins. The Yankees were proud to jointly host this ceremony with the Twins, who have embraced the HOPE Week concept by holding their own HOPE Week in each of the last two seasons.
At the conclusion of HOPE Week 2010 and HOPE Week 2011, the Yankees and the Steinbrenner family were honored with the President's Volunteer Service Award, given "in recognition and appreciation of commitment to strengthening the Nation and for making a difference through volunteer service." The awards were bestowed by the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation in conjunction with the Corporation for National and Community Service. The Yankees were also twice honored during the recent offseason, receiving the DMF Champion of HOPE Award from Daniel's Music Foundation on November 8, 2011, and the "Just Cause" Award at the PromaxBDA Sports Media Marketing Summit on November 15, 2011.
Timing and location of events, credentialing procedures, and guidelines for media will be disseminated via e-mail at least two days prior to each event.
Please visit the official website (www.hopeweek.com) and our Facebook page (New York Yankees HOPE Week) for more information.

I began working full time as a potter in Hamburg, Germany in 2008 when I moved to be near my partner and love of my life, Scot King. For 7 years I traveled all over Scandinavia and Eastern Europe demonstrating primitive pottery techniques and showing my work annually at Hedeby Viking Museum in Germany, Ribe Viking Center in Denmark, The Cultural Reserve of Kernave, in Lithuania; and The Museum of Archeology in Biskupin, Poland. The romance of travel and historical and archeological study has been a huge influence on my work over the years.
My current work is inspired by early Slavic, and Finn Ugrian ceramics from the Neolithic Era to the Iron Age. I first developed my curiosity regarding these ancient pottery styles when I was invited to Russia as a demonstrator at a major historical festival in Moscow. It was there that I first fell in love with the heavy stamping and mark making of the ancient Slavic and Finn Ugrian tribes after a visit to the National Historical Museum. Over the past 9 years I've visited Russia 10 times attending archeological symposiums and museum tours. Since my first visit I have participated in cultural exchanges in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Murom, Novgorod and Staraya Ladoga, and have worked closely with archeologists in Russia and the Baltic to develop the research that has inspired my forms and mark making in modern clay today.
I'm currently lucky enough to reside in beautiful Madison County North Carolina and work full time in my studio at Marshall High Studios, overlooking the French Broad River.

Parks serving 10 million across Britain at risk of being BULLDOZED for development
PARKS are under threat across the country from development, a shocking survey revealed yesterday.
A shocking 10million people could loose park land for development
One in six - or 10 million of the UK population - say their local green space is or has been at risk of being lost or built on.
And 95 per cent say that these green areas, which are often havens of flower-rich calm in town centres, should always be protected from development.
Parks hold a special place in the public's affection, offering opportunities for children to play and grown-ups to stroll in the open air.
And the survey by the charity Fields in Trust said four in five of us would campaign against any threat to their local park.
Two-thirds said that the loss of parks would damage children's development and half admitted they would be less active if their local green space was lost.
Fields in Trust currently safeguards over 2,500 sites; a total of 28,000 acres of land including playgrounds, playing fields, and formal and informal parkland across the UK.
On Thursday it will launch its latest guide on protecting green spaces at the House of Lords as tool for planning authorities, developers, urban designers and landscape architects.
Fields in Trust chief executive Helen Griffiths said: "These findings demonstrate to us that people really value their local green spaces, with three quarters telling us that they would feel unhappy if their local park was built on or closed tomorrow.
"We live in a fast-paced world and access to green space provides us all with a chance to take time-out and spend quality time being active with friends and family.
"Our research shows that the nation's parks and green spaces are places to enjoy life experiences, with many of those surveyed saying that's where they taught their grandchildren to cycle, had their first kiss or reached a personal sporting milestone.
95 per cent of the population say these areas should be protected
Two-thirds of the survey said that the loss of parks would damage children's development
Without this, I would never have had the opportunity to have a career in football. It's these places that cemented my interest in sport and ultimately enabled me to develop my skills
"Some people have even experienced or witnessed a marriage proposal.
"Whilst we already protect a huge number of spaces across the country, more can be done. People often assume that their local park will always be there but this isn't necessarily the case.
"The first step in getting a park protected is often for local people to actively campaign for it. Today we are encouraging people to take the first step by visiting our website to find out if their favourite local park is safe."
The survey found that almost half of those surveyed said using their local park helps them to feel healthier with 70% of 16 to 24 year olds also feeling less stressed as a result of having access to green space.
One in four use their local park at least twice a week.
Fields in Trust ambassador and former England footballer, Graeme Le Saux, said: "I was born and grew up in Jersey, where I had unlimited access to outdoor space, whether it was playing fields, parks or sand dunes.
"Without this, I would never have had the opportunity to have a career in football. It's these places that cemented my interest in sport and ultimately enabled me to develop my skills."
A Local Government Association spokesman said: "The planning system exists to ensure development is appropriate and residents are able to have their say.
"Councils recognise the importance of parks and green spaces in keeping people fit and healthy. This is why they are encouraging the Government to consider the impact further spending reductions would have on councils' abilities to provide high-quality parks and green spaces."

Bulgaria said on Wednesday it was pulling out of a long-stalled pipeline project meant to bring Russian oil to Greece through its territory, but Athens said it remained committed.
"Bulgaria suggests cancelling the project by mutual agreement. Otherwise, it will back out unilaterally in 12 months," Finance Minister Simeon Djankov said.
The government said the project, originally estimated in 2007 to cost $900 million (710 million euros at the time), was no longer seen as being economically viable.
Despite pressure from its partners, Bulgaria has also repeatedly expressed reservations about the environmental impact of the 280-kilometre (175-mile) pipeline because it would pass through nature reserves.
It would have allowed Russia to transport oil to Europe while bypassing the busy Bosphorus strait, running overland from the Bulgarian Black Sea port of Burgas to Alexandroupolis on the Aegean Sea in Greece.
Djankov said Sofia would pay the 12 million leva (6.1 million euros, $8.2 million) it owes to the company founded to construct the pipeline, 51-percent owned by Russia and 24.5 percent each by Bulgaria and Greece.
Crisis-hit Greece said however Wednesday it was sticking with the project.
"We do not have any official information (...) on a Bulgarian withdrawal," Deputy Energy Minister Yannis Maniatis said.
"Greece remains attached to its strategic choice, in view of the usefulness of the pipeline for both Greece and Bulgaria as well as for supporting Europe's energy security."
He said that Greece was working to address the environmental issues around the project.
Bulgaria last week granted the status of national importance to work on its stretch of the 3,600-kilometre (2,200-mile) South Stream gas pipeline to carry Russian gas to Europe.
Sofia also plans to build a 100-kilometre (60-mile) pipeline to link up its gas network to the Greek one that will enable it to receive gas from the Caspian region via the ITGI pipeline project linking Turkey to Greece and Italy.

In reading an account last week about the closing of Chacer's on Franklin Street, I wondered (maybe feared is a better word) if I were hearing the tolling of John Donne's bell across the city, and where we might be when the tolling ended. And then I remembered a favorite pick-me-up line from Stephen Kaggwa, whose a Ugandan restaurateur now living in Minneapolis, Minnesota (pause) whose insight encourages me more often than I'm comfortable counting.
"Try and fail," he once offered, "but don't fail to try."
I'm considered a very trying person by many whose opinions are highly regarded (mostly by themselves) and Kaggwa's larger point is spot-on, you cannot win if you do not play. We often fear failure so much that we'd rather not even make an attempt (the difference between a try and a triumph is usually the amount of 'umph') thus dooming ourselves before we start.
Here in Norwich (and I suspect this is true across the country and around the world) there's often an undercurrent of dis and mistrust between the governed and the government based on a near-genius inability to openly and honestly speak to and with one another. We don't listen to understand but, rather, to reply and rebut.
We can build bridges or we can build walls, often from the same materials-it depends on our intentions and perspectives. One of the better tools we have is the City's municipal website. It's both an example and a product of an effort by people from across the community who had little more in common than a desire to make a good idea a better tool in redesigning Norwich's world-wide calling card.
I enjoyed being a part of that group-even if I suspect some of them had a little less enjoyment because of me, but the city's website is more than a gearhead's delight. Its utility, from answering questions about paying property taxes through maintaining calendars on both municipal meetings and community events, is complemented by its capability (used to be potential, but now its energy is being realized) to be a platform for conversations with and between all of us, elected and the electorate.
I've been reading Mayor Hinchey's blog (disclaimer: I didn't vote for her, but as was the case with her predecessor (and those before him as well), I want her to succeed because when she does, so, too, do we all). It's a great way to get unfiltered information, directly from the source at City Hall (so to speak) and is a terrific use of technology and connectivity to create a more informed public.
Her blog is still new and I won't tell you she's found the keys to the universe in the engine of old boxcar, but she has made an excellent start in her telling of The Story of Us. Her patience and perspective challenges me to remember that when you don't know where you'll be in five years, you really don't know where you are now.

Top 5 Makeup Must Haves
Welcome to my very first beauty post! It's taken me a long time to get around to the beauty section of my blog! I've mainly focused on travel and lifestyle. I only just made my first fashion post. I figure what's a better post to kick off my beauty section than my makeup must haves? I'm choosing the top five products I love and absolutely cannot live without. I've repurchased each of these products and will continue to do so. I have yet to find another product to replace each of them. Without further ado, here are my top five makeup must haves!
If I Could Splurge: A Wish List
We all have those items we so badly covet, but will never be able to afford. I've spent a few too many nights deep into Net-a-Porter's website, ogling over Gucci's newest pieces. The sad reality is, I'm a broke college student barely able to support my iced coffee addiction. But, that doesn't stop me from creating a list of items which I'd like to splurge. A girl can dream. I've made wish list posts before, which you can find here. I really enjoy writing them and they're two of my most popular posts so far. So, see what made my if I could splurge list below.
Walt Disney World: A Travel Diary
Planning Your Walt Disney World Vacation
So much goes into planning a Walt Disney World vacation. This blog post could go on forever! I totally get why people devote entire blogs to all things Disney World.
I love planning and thrive while doing so. So, planning a Disney vacation is the perfect experience for me. I can't wait to do it again!
What ticket package do you get? When's the best time to go? Which parks should you go to and how much time should you spend there? Where should you stay? All of these are important factors to consider while planning the logistics of your trip. While many bloggers are way more experienced on this topic, I'm still going to give my personal advice. Later, I'll be making a post about my time at each park. Keep reading and check out my other Florida travel diaries here.
Miami Heat: A Travel Diary
Welcome to my Miami travel diary! Let me begin by saying, a day in Miami is not enough. Coming from Illinois, dipping my toes in the sand and sweating while wearing romper in January is unreal. A week in my swimsuit lounging around Miami Beach sounds ideal. Unfortunately, I had only one day to cram in a tour of Miami. To read more on my trip, you can find my Florida Keys travel diary here. Read on to find my itinerary for a day trip to Miami!
The Key to the Florida Keys: A Travel Diary
Welcome to a new travel diary! In addition to being my favorite posts to write, they're also my favorite to read. Today, I'm writing about my time in the Florida Keys, specifically Key West. If you want to check out earlier travel diaries, check here.
While staying in Orlando, my family chose to travel south for a weekend to visit the Florida Keys and Miami. Keep reading to find my recommendations for a trip to the Keys.
New Year Resolutions
After finishing a blog post reflecting on 2016, I started to think up some goals for 2017. Goal setting is something I continuously do, and I find it helps to write it down. I did a post on my bucket list for last summer, and publishing that made me constantly think about the things I want to do. This year, my resolutions center around becoming a better, more holistic person. Here are my top five goals for the new year.
My 2016 Year in Review
I think we all can agree when I say that 2016 sucks. However, despite how horrible this year may have been, it is safe to say that it flew by. I perfectly remember ringing in 2016 at my grandma's house with my older sister. We stayed up till 4 AM learning how to wobble (I still can't) and watching our favorite music videos (lots of Taylor Swift). This year, I'm celebrating 2017 in Orlando. Stay tuned for travel diaries later this week.
For today's post, I'll be recapping my personal highlights from each month of 2016.
Anginetti: Italian Christmas Cookies
Some of my best holiday memories are the ones in my grandma's kitchen, making Christmas cookies with her and my sister. We make the classics: thumbprints, chocolate covered peanut butter crackers, chocolate covered pretzels, and festive spritz cookies. However, this year, my grandma chose to mix it up and get in touch with our Italian roots by making all Italian cookies. Our list includes dark chocolate pizzelles, ricotta cookies, and my favorite of the bunch: anginetti–Italian lemon drop cookies.
I'm a total sucker for anything lemon flavored. These iced lemon cookies are totally delicious. They're soft, chewy, and sweet. So, I'm making it my first food post on the blog! Read below to find our recipe for anginetti. And, if you want to read more about great Italian eats, check out my Rome and Florence travel diaries.

Kevin Ayers
Here's a rare interview with Kevin Ayers from BBC Radio 4. Scroll down. It so happened that his mother lived several doors down from us when I was a teenager growing up in Herne Bay. "Soft Machine" recordings went into the memory banks. Here's a review of his new album to be released on September 10.

Who needs drugs? Martyr AD's April release from Victory Records, On Earth as It Is in Hell, is much cheaper for gripping your brain in a vise and giving it a good, heady scrambling. "This is the sound of three years of discontent and corrosion of life and society around you," the band's website says about its 30-minute album. A cool Martyr AD factoid is that its bassist is a woman, so it's equal-opportunity rocking, and On Earth is quality hardcore. It hits nonstop, like a hammer on a nail. Except your heart is the nail, and it beats faster in a resonant frequency collusion with the constant and unrepentantly angry screams. This is a good antidote for clearing out the voices of George Bush and John Kerry after a day of listening to election-year news, especially with lyrics like, "Another passing moment, another dead cliché, another jaw closes, around my throat today." -- Dave Amber

Rockin' Mock Trial: UMM competes against U.S.' best
By Tom Larson
Sun Tribune
The University of Minnesota, Morris is a liberal arts college that doesn't have a formal law school. But a group of students has put UMM on the map in terms of legal prowess.
UMM's Mock Trial team earlier this spring matched up among the best in the U.S. at the Mock Trial Gold Nationals in Des Moines, Iowa.
UMM's Mock Trial team was the only one from Minnesota in the Gold Nationals, and it placed 31st among the 600 teams in the Mock Trial Association.
The team was 4-4 at the nationals, meaning it won its case on four ballots and lost on four.
"It means nobody really got the best of us," said UMM Mock Trial lead Jeremy Jost, adding that academic heavyweights like Yale, California-Berkeley, Northwestern and the University of Chicago are among the schools that enter teams.
"It was just a few points either way on every ballot," Jost said. "We were going up against the best teams in the country and we held our own."
In Mock Trial, teams prepare arguments for a mock court case. Team members play attorneys and witnesses, and compete against teams from other colleges.
The teams received their cases in late August and honed their skills before the regional competition in February in Superior, Wis., and the super regional in Waukegan, Ill.
In Minnesota, UMM's competition comes from the U of M's main campus and Duluth campus, Hamline, St. Thomas, St. John's and St. Benedict, Jost said.
UMM's team formed in the late 1990s, but has made significant strides the last three years.
The team earned a spot in the Silver Nationals at Harvard two years ago, then competed in the Gold Nationals last year in Minneapolis, where the team finished 1-6-1.
"We improved a lot in one year," Jost said.
It's also gratifying that UMM's Mock Trial team is competitive while remaining true to student ideals.
"A lot of teams have paid coaches," Jost said. "UMM is a totally student-run organization. That makes it more satisfying when we win."

International Mail Time Constraints
International mail time constraints are at the mercy of the destination country. Packages can average between 2 weeks to 2 months to arrive due to Foreign Customs. Some countries will experience a delay in delivery due to poor postal service policies and or procedures. Brazil, Spain, Mexico and Germany can experience delays near the two month range. Some international countries will charge additional customs fees or a duty-tax on packages entering from foreign countries, which is also at the mercy of the destination country and is out of our control, the UK is one of the countries where we find this happening. All international orders are at the discretion of the buyer, there is no guarantee that packages will arrive after leaving US Customs, this again is at the mercy of the destination country and said country's postal service. All orders will be 100% completed and shipped through the US Postal Service and tracking numbers will be provided via email. All international orders are final and no refunds will be provided even if packages do not arrive. In the event that a package does not arrive, please call us at 719-373-1240 (MST).

We can Explore our 'Inner-self' to find the Bliss!
Accept your responsibility for misery, and you will find that just hidden inside you are all the couses of bliss, freedom, joy, enlightenement, immortality". ----Osho
We have no control over the outside situation whether it is the economy, our society or our work. If we let our happiness depend on the outside forces, believe me, we are never going to be happy. So, why not control our inner forces? Let our inner situation happen at least our way. If we want to be happy and blissful, then create inner happiness by controlling our inner self.
In the words of Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, founder, Isha Foundation : "We, the human beings, are a unique creation of nature. Our problems are not of survival. In fact, our problems begin after our belly is full. We need happiness. We need peace. We miss these things as we don't know how to control our senses.We should learn to manage our mind, body, and the chemistry that runs inside us."
To be blissful is within the reach of every one; only that one has to go the right way to discover one's true self.
Why then we get influenced by the external forces ? Why not we look inside ourselves? I am sanguine it will happen once our inner systems: physical, mental, chemical and our energy system, start taking instructions from us. If we can control our mind, body, and emotional energy, we will live blissfully. Then no external forces could cause stress in us. Stress is not an external product: it is caused by our inability to manage those forces. Stress doesn't occur due to the nature of our job, it happens because we haven't learned to control our inner forces.
One has to go the right way to discover one's true self. In this regard, it must be realised that it is important to have faith in one's own ability to be peaceful and happy. To have faith is the beginning of all good things that can lead one to realization.
The beauty of your blissful life is the simple fact that it is all yours! You, and only you define exactly what it means to you. For me, blissful life means a balance between my parts that allow me to assist others in achieving their goals while providing a satisfactory standard of living. It also means that I have the freedom and permission from myself to continue to grow and discover more about myself and the world I live in, no matter what! To me this means that there are no silly or ridiculous ideas or paths. I have given myself permission to explore all of them, no matter where they might lead. I have learned that in order for me to live my blissful life, I must be true to myself, my ideals, my thoughts, my intuition, and my feelings and last but not least I ought to be Honest. When I do this, I can do anything, be anything, and discover anything I desire. When I am doing this and helping others enrich their lives that I am truly living my blissful life. I earnestly belive: "Where there is faith, there is love; where there is love, there is peace, there is God; where there is God, there is bliss."
Joseph Campbell, the author of the "The Hero's Journey" : "When you follow your bliss...doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors and where there wouldn't be a door for anybody else,...and the world moves in and helps."
Eternal happiness is only to be found in eternal existence.
True happiness must be earned and developed by diverting one's attention from the material desires and focusing upon God, trusting in Him. How can we do this?? One effective way is to spend sometime daily in association with God. Daily association with God not only withers away our desires for the material world but one becomes gradually established in his supreme self. Ultimately, the person overcomes his cravings for sense-objects. The Bhagavad Gita asks us to work rather than idling away our time. But when we work, don't desire its fruits because once desire comes, we are entrapped. Material desires do not provide happiness because they are finite and imperfect.
By completely annihilating desires, one reaches the state of perfect tranquillity, which is a state of absolute bliss. Then all that we see appears one and the same thing. If we are enlightened enough to perceive that all objects are one, there will be no ground for desire.
Happiness is a pleasant feeling in the mind. It is subjective and not objective. The same person, place or thing that brought happiness at one time, may bring misery at another. Why does this happen? This happens because we are responsible for our happiness or sorrow, and not the external objects of the world. We think that somebody brings joy; this person brings misery, etc. All this is not true.
When you are happy and relaxed you are in bliss, you are in God's own company. If you are not, then the way is to empower your soul. This will take you closer to the consciousness of your self, and bliss.
Bliss is readily available; it's just that most of us haven't yet figured out how we feel blissful. Our bliss is not only a wonderful inner feeling that generates positive outcomes; it's also a natural characteristic of our soul. Yes, our very own soul is always happy, so when we're connected with our soul, we feel happy and often even blissful, and therefore our life is an experience of goodness. When we've integrated the bliss, happiness, and goodness of our soul, we can easily manifest the wonderful results we want in our life because our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings have come into alignment and harmony with our true goals.
We can re-align our life in a way that we can begin access that blissful state of flow in both our work and our personal life. But unfortunately, we often forget about the ideal that is within us. Instead, we get trapped in self-interest and crave for material comfort. We always crave for what we do not possess. Non-fulfilment of our desires makes us frustrated and unhappy. However, after getting what one desires one feels delighted only temporarily. Everything material, without exception, is best temporary and limited. So if one is seeking eternal happiness one can take any and all material things off the list of possible ways to attain it. Eternal happiness can not be found there. Everything material is fleeting be it positive or negative, at best. This being a given, eternal anything (happiness or anything else) can not be stored in any material container (be in vaults, banks, philosophies, experiences, religions, doctrines creeds etc.). We can be a part of the supreme bliss if you stop identifying ourselves with our body, mind and senses; and instead live at the level of soul.
So, in brief, the definition of happiness pertains to that rare group who are fully awake. In this state, happiness is bliss, the highest state. When the experience of a separate "me" has dissolved, all that remains is our true nature of eternal bliss.
I feel our own definition of happiness will depend on where we ourselves are at. Pleasure is dependent on others, happiness and joy less so and bliss is completely independent of anything. Pleasure is animal, joy is human and bliss is Divine.
Happiness is a pleasant sensation experienced by the embodied soul through the five senses, mind and/or intellect whereas Bliss is a favourable spiritual experience of the embodied soul doing spiritual practice(jivatma) or the God realised soul (Shivatma) when the functions of the five senses, mind and intellect have ceased. Happiness is bliss outwardly directed towards the senses and their world of relativity and change. Bliss is eternal, but happiness is man's attempt to project bliss into fleeting and alien environment. The principal challenge bliss presents is the demand that one's ego be abandoned.
Bliss is not the neutral point between happiness and unhappiness, but lies beyond them. Bliss begins where expectations of happiness end. Worldly happiness and sorrow are a result of one's deeds (karma). Spiritual Bliss (Anand) is not a result of one's deeds but originates from love. One who experiences spiritual Bliss is unaffected by worldly happiness and sorrow.
Unfortunately, for- most, pursuit of happiness has become the goal of life. Happiness is not something you achieve. It is something that we start with; it is the square one of life. As children, we all stared joyfully without any hassle. So, do not understand spiritual process as one of peace, joy or even bliss. Only if we are blissful, we will explore all aspect of life.
Here are few practical steps of attaining bliss and peace of mind:
1. Don't worry that you are a sinner. This is one of the worst obstacles to joy. Give up worry. What is past is past. God is not a historian and a petty judge to judge you for what you did. Sins are mistakes done.
2. Joys and sorrows are like day and night. Joys or sorrows… we must welcome every emotion that God wants us to experience, with courage.
3. One should always choose the right path and then have the conviction and belief to tread it.
4. Don't worry if someone hates or someone dislikes you. Let them hate you. Let them not like you. The world is broad. There are millions of people here. Let everyone go their own way.
5. Pray. Let us seek something permanent: 'God.' This will bring peace. True love brings us closer to God. God is love. We too, can become love.
6. Control yourself. This it self is a big peace-giving method.
7. If some problem comes in your life, don't start worrying. Worry will make things worse. Imagine that you are taking that problem in your hand like a fruit, and offer it to God. And pray. When worry comes, brush it aside and pray. This will help you immensely in every way.
Serving the True Guru brings a deep and profound peace, and one's desires are fulfilled. Abstinence, truthfulness and self-discipline are obtained, and the body is purified; the Lord, Har, Har, comes to dwell within the mind. Such a person remains blissful forever, day and night. Meeting the Beloved, peace is found." --- 'SGGS'

Volume 1, Number 3 - Spring 1962
As the people of the South beat the war drums of secession and the storm clouds of the Civil War were fast approaching, the people of the upper White River valley took little note of the impending conflict.
The issues of slavery, hotly debated in the nation's capitol seemed far away and of little concern to the people of the region. To them slavery was not an issue even though a big majority of them came, by way of Tennessee and Kentucky, from the southern states of Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. They were sympathetic with the South, yet few were slave holders and those that were treated their slaves in such a humane manner that they usually held the respect of their non-slave holding neighbors. They looked upon slavery as being not altogether good, or bad, but certainly no cause for secession or war. On the eve of the Civil War there were not more than five or six hundred slaves in the upper White River Valley.
The passage of the Kansas - Nebraksa Bill and the Kansas-Missouri border warfare caused no great concern among them. The stories of the "Underground Railroad," and the Dred Scott decision all seemed to be about people and events unrelated to the everyday problems of life. The Dred Scott decision of 1857 issued by Chief Justice Taney, from whom Taney county Missouri had been named twenty years before, brought no suggestions for changing the name of the county. Whatever reflections the people may have had on these important matters were overshadowed by other things such as the discovery of gold in California, the massacre of the Fancher Wagon Train in Utah, the settlement of Texas, the Oregon country, White River navigation, farmstead improvements and community life. It would have been far easier to have raised a voluntary army to fight the Mormons and Indians in Utah than to have raised a squad of militiamen for either the North or the South.
Regardless of their southern sympathies the people of the upper White River valley were loyal Americans and held deep respect for the Union. They no doubt felt like Alexander Gamble when he said, "Our sympathies are with the South but our interests are with the Union."
The returns of the election of 1860 bore this out. Abraham Lincoln, representing the northern point of view received only 17,028 votes in Missouri and none in Arkansas - not being on the ballot in Arkansas. His counterpart, John C. Breckenridge, representing the southern point of view shared little better polling only 31,317 votes in Missouri. The two candidates, Stephen Douglas and John Bell, representing a more moderate or compromising view point on slavery polled 117,173 votes in Missouri. It can be seen that the people of Missouri favored a more moderate compromising position on slavery and did not strongly support either the North or the South. The people in the hill counties of north Arkansas held views in common with their neighbors to the north.
In general the people of the region were surprised when Lincoln won the presidency. An excerpt from an 1883 History of Greene County, Missouri supports this statement. "Great was the astonishment of everybody when it was learned that in Greene county forty-two votes had been given to Abe Lincoln. It was known before the election that there were a few Republicans in the county, perhaps a dozen."
No sooner had Lincoln been elected to the presidency than secession began. On December 20, 1860 South Carolina seceded and within six months ten southern states followed suit.
So swiftly was the chain of events occurring that on Jan. 10, 1861 the Missouri Legislature authorized the calling of a special state convention to deal with the problem of what stand Missouri should take. The election of the members to the convention was held on February 18, the same day Jefferson Davis was inaugurated president of the Confederacy. There were three kinds of delegates to be chosen to the convention. The Unconditional Union candidates opposed Secession under any circumstances. The Conditional Union candidates favored secession in certain emergencies only and the Secession candidates favored secession.
In Greene county the Unconditional Union candidates received 7,339 votes; the Conditional Union candidates polled only 1,241 votes with only a scattering vote here and there for the Secessionist candidates.
In Christian county the Unconditional Union candidates received 2,396 votes with the Conditional Union candidates receiving only 314. In Stone county the vote was 605 for the Unconditional Union candidates and only 50 for the Conditional Union candidates. In Taney county the situation was more evenly divided with the Unconditional Union candidates receiving 689 votes and the Conditional Union candidates receiving 631 votes. There was no record available for the Secessionist candidates in the three counties but they no doubt received a small vote.
Arkansas like Missouri called an election for a convention to decide what stand Arkansas would take on the secession movement with similar results. On Feb.18, 1861 delegates were elected to their state convention with Carroll county, Arkansas casting 1464 votes for the Unionist candidates and only 36 votes for the Secessionist candidates.
Before the final adjournment of the Missouri convention under the leadership of Sterling Price two important resolutions were passed. One resolution expressed the explicit declaration that there was no adequate cause to impel Missouri to dissolve her connection with the Federal Union. The other resolution took unmistakable ground against the employment of military forces by the Federal government to coerce the seceding states or the employment of military forces by the seceding states to assail the government of the United States. By this action Missouri hoped to remain neutral and influence a compromise between the North and the South.
While the people of Missouri and Arkansas were trying to remain neutral the president issued a call for 75,000 troops to suppress the rebellion. Each state was asked for a quota of men. This action was most painful for the people of the White River region and their respective states. For as much as they hated to break ties with the union they could not bring themselves to fight against their neighbors and kinsmen east of the Mississippi River.
The governors of both Missouri and Arkansas refused to fill the quotas and in ugly language assailed the president's action. The fast changing turn of events coupled with Arkansas's geographical location and cotton interest, soon overcame the resistance of the hill counties of North Arkansas and took Arkansas out of the Union at a state convention on May 6, 1861.
In the meantime Missouri was torn by turmoil and strife and a state of anarchy existed. All state and local governments broke down and not until after the battle of Pea Ridge could it be said that Missouri was safely in the Union.
In the impending conflict both the North and South realized the importance of winning and holding the border states, of which Missouri was one. So rapidly did the storm clouds break that the people of the upper White River valley were stunned and bewildered. They were torn between their blood and friendship ties with the South and their loyalty to the Union. Both the North and the South made a determined effort for Missouri, with the people of the upper White River valley in between.
The Battle of Bull Run, the first major conflict of the Civil War, was fought on July 21, 1861. So rapidly did the chain of events occur that the next day (July 22, 1861) the Union and Confederate troops were engaged in battle at Forsyth, Missouri. The Civil War with all its horrors was upon the bewildered people of the upper White River valley.
Sometime prior to the Forsyth engagement the Confederates had seized the courthouse at Forsyth and had converted it into a fort and arsenal. At General Price's request the Forsyth garrison had been re-enforced with supplies by steam boat.
Upon learning of the Confederate build-up at Forsyth, the Southwest Expedition Head Quarters of the Union Army at Springfield, dispatched Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Sweeney. of the U. S. Army and some troops to suppress it.
The following is a battle action report of the Forsyth skirmish written by Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Sweeney.
from Springfield to and
Skirmish (July 22. 1861) at Forsyth,
Report of Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Sweeney, U. S. Army.
Southwest Expedition
Springfield. Missouri
July 27. 1861
Sir: In compliance with verbal orders received from you, I left this place on the evening of the 20th instant, and proceeded with dispatch to Forsyth, where I arrived about 6 p. m. on the 22nd.
On approaching the town I took every possible precaution to prevent the hostile force assembled there from becoming aware of our presence. The advance guard, which consisted of a company of mounted Kansas Rangers, fell in with a picket guard of the enemy some 3 1/2 miles from town, and succeeded in capturing 2 of them. Upon an examination of the prisoners, they informed me that there were only 150 men stationed at Forsyth whereupon I ordered Captain Stanley's cavalry command and the Kansas Rangers to press rapidly forward and surround the town.
After they had passed on, and before the remainder of my force had come up, one of the prisoners remarked, "If that is all you have, you will get badly whipped, for we have a thousand men in Forsyth." Supposing this statement might be true, although contradictory of his former assertion, I dispatched an order to Captain Stanley to keep the enemy in check if he found the resistance formidable, while I hastened forward with the artillery and infantry to his support. The enemy in the meantime had received information of our approach, and having partially formed in the town, opened a scattering fire on the cavalry, but as it was returned with a well directed volley from our troops, they fled to the hills and surrounding thickets, keeping up a scattering fire as they retreated.
Under cover of the trees and bushes, they collected in considerable numbers upon the hills to the left of the town, from which they were dislodged by a well-directed fire of shell and canister from the artillery. The infantry meanwhile had been deployed as skirmishers thru the woods and in the rear of the city, and but a short time elapsed before we were in complete possession of the place.
From the best information I could gather, the loss of the enemy killed was 8 or 10, and in wounded must have been several times that number. Among the dead was Captain Jackson, who took an active part in the skirmish. Our own loss consisted of 2 men wounded, neither of them
dangerously, and four horses killed, included the one shot from under Captain Stanley, First Cavalry. The men belonged to the Cavalry. Three prisoners were taken on the day of the action, and 2 on the day following.
The entire affair lasted about an hour, and both officers and men engaged exhibited great coolness and courage. With the town we also captured 7 horses, and a quantity of arms, munitions of war, flour, meal, sugar, sirup, salt, clothing, cloth, boots, shoes, hats, camp furniture, mule and horse shoes etc. most of which we found in the court house which was used as a barracks for their troops. The arms and munitions of war were distributed among the Home Guards of the county and the clothing and provisions among our troops of which they stood in great need.
The country thru which we passed is exceedingly hilly and broken, and the latter part of the route almost entirely destitute of provisions for men and forage for horses.
Notwithstanding the adverse weather, which was remarkably stormy for a portion of the time, the march of 45 miles and the capture of the place occupied little over 50 hours. The last day the troops marched 28 miles, the last 4 of which were passed over at double quick time.
I remained in Forsyth till noon of the 23rd receiving the captured property, and then took up the line of march for Springfield, which I reached at 2 p.m. of Thursday the 25th instant.Very respectfully, Your obedient servant.
Such was the report of the engagement at Forsyth as written by Brigadier - General Sweeney of the Union Army. An account of the action written by a Confederate Officer might have given a different version of the battle, or had Forsyth been located south of the river the results might have been different.
The dead were buried in unmarked graves near the river adjacent to the village of Forsyth. Many years afterwards the river currents eroded away the banks of the stream and uncovered some of the skeletons. Considerable speculation took place until someone found in association with the graves, a Confederate button from one of the uniforms. Then it was remembered that the dead had been buried near the town.
In less than a month after the Forsyth engagement the Battle of Wilson's Creek was fought and for a time thereafter the Confederate Flag flew over the White River valley.

Germany, Switzerland 2015
But the Wayúu community's way of life is being destroyed by the El Cerrejón coal mine. This vast chasm extends for 700 square kilometres, making it the world's largest open-cast coal mine. Every day, the pit gets deeper, gnawing away at the previously unspoilt landscape. The coal is exported all over the world. In Germany, the UK and Israel, in the Netherlands, Turkey, Japan and the USA, coal from El Cerrejón feeds the power stations which generate the electricity to keep our lives fast-paced, bright and warm.
Determined to save his community from the forced displacement which has already swept away other villages, Jairo Fuentes sets out to negotiate with the mine's operators. They're backed by powerful commodity companies such as Glencore, Anglo American and BHP Billiton. The companies promise the villagers the blessings of progress, but the Wayúu place no value on modern, electrified houses – on the so-called "better life".
Instead, they embark on a fight to save their life in the forest, which soon becomes a fight to survive.
Directors Statement
The German "Energiewende" caused a significant increase of steam coal imports to Germany; in fact, almost all industrialised countries have increased their coal imports. Countries like Germany, Great Britain or the U.S. are shutting down their costly coal mining industry and instead import cheap coal from abroad. Mining companies such as Glencore plc, BHP Billiton or Anglo American exploit the natural resources. Colombia produces high quality steam coal at a very low price, thus it became one of the largest exporters of coal.
What happens to the native Colombians, in this case the Wayuu people, who have been living on the ground above the coal for centuries? It's a disturbing story of neo-colonialism at its best. The Wayuus are forced to move and give up their way of life and have no other choice but to live by the rules of the so-called modern civilisation. It's their "good life" against ours, an unequal competition full of madness. In the end, mankind suffers an outrageous defeat.

The Comic Round Up column aims to get some words down on comics published for the week. This weeks reviews are handled by the National Wax Poetics Council. There's just too many great books coming out from Valiant, BOOM!, Monkeybrain, and Dark Horse that don't get enough attention. We hope to rectify this issue and inform you on what it is you should be reading and what makes it to the tops of our buy piles.
This week we are reviewing Brain Boy #0, Star Wars #12, Wraith #2, Halo: Escalation #1, Archer and Armstrong #16, The X-Files Season 10 #7, and WWE Superstars #1. All with more romanticism than can be found on my mom's bookshelf.
Brain Boy #0
Story by Fred Van Lente
Art by Freddie Williams II
Colours by Ego
Gord Cummings: This is a collecting of work that previously appeared in Dark Horse Presents. It tells the story of a telekenetic who is contracted by the government to provide a last check when dignitaries are to appear.
So what would you expect of something like this, especially something that came out this quietly? Maybe some big explosions and some of the trials of being a telekenetic and how it's a burden? Actually, the main character "Brain Boy" would probably make fun of those cliches as well. What we get instead is a really quick intro to this character that offers dynamic action and surprising little tricks. Very reminiscient of Mysterious The Unfathomable (a modern classic) in that we never know what to expect or what is in the bag of tricks.
This is fresh. Very far from what is to be expected. Although the protagonist is a hero who we see develop over the course of the content, he is not taken seriously by those who contract him out.
Beyond the character stuff though, we get a sense of the world that these events are taking place in. Van Lente has built for us a world where very serious conversations are boiled down into rote call centre scripts and trouble shooting in the form of pill popping. Cool idea and probably a reality that's not so far off in real life.
I look forward to where things go in this story. Apparently we get an appearance of the "Men From Gestalt". Anything remotely having to do with Fritz Perls is something you can count me in for.
Verdict: Buy it
Star Wars #12
Story by Brian Wood
Art by Carlos D'Anta
Colour by Gabe Eltaeb
Gord Cummings: In case you haven't been following along on this chapter of Star Wars, the rebels are being hunted as they try and find a place to root while they get their act together. Amongst it all is trouble from Darth Vader, of course, and an appearance from Mon Mothma's nephew, Kell Bircher. Can we trust Kell or is he a double agent (dah dah dahhhh)?
I know that sounds a bit like mockery, but when you pick up a Star Wars comic you should be expecting at least one of the above to be included. The thing about this series though is that it is interesting and it got me to buy into the franchise comics from Dark Horse. In fact this is one of the titles I frequently look forward to.
Wood has introduced some much needed excitement into the comic side of the franchise. His characters are smart and in this issue specifically we get a good sense as to the emergence of Leia and Wedge's leadership. There's a pretty significant event in the history of Star Wars lore that happens in this issue. I'm not telling you what it is and you can't make me. Go get the comic for yourself.
One thing that I am really digging about this series that the art has been consistent from the beginning. Sure, these are Luke and C3P-0 and the gang, but these characters belong very much to D'Anda. They are D'Anda's Luke and C3P-0 and the gang because of his unique sensible cartoon like style with heavy borders. I dig it.
I do have a couple of issues with the comic and they're pretty minor. One: There's a secondary plot point that's been going on since the first arc that seems to be going nowhere. Second: The lettering. You likely shouldn't notice lettering unless it's done really well or there's a slight mistake. There is a slight mistake in here and it feels like this may have been rushed. Good thing the smooth art and story make you roll right along into another Star Wars cliffhanger!
Verdict: Check It.
Wraith #2
Story by Joe Hill
Art by Charles Paul Wilson III
Colour by Jay Fotos
While the story of Manx breaking out of his prison transport van is nothing to get too excited about, Hill's ability to create feelings of disgust and revulsion towards the vile Manx warrant your attention. The conversation that takes place as Manx is hatching his scheme angered me and was difficult to read. Hill is good at pushing his characters well beyond established social norms in a realistic fashion that evokes a lot of emotion from the reader. Manx is clearly a demented individual, and as a fan of NOS4A2 I have enjoyed gaining an insight to his psyche.
While it is very strange to read a comic from Hill that isn't illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez, Charles Paul Wilson III does a phenomenal job in his portrayal of Manx. Manx clearly holds no remorse for his actions and is a living nightmare to look at. Wilson's ability to portray realistic gore pair well with the tone of Hill's writing.
This is a difficult title to fully recommend to a casual reader. If you are familiar with Hill's work, particularly his novels, then you will enjoy this title. As someone who thorough enjoyed NOS4A2, it has been a pleasure to see this vision delivered in the comic medium. We visit Christmasland in the next issue so it is a good time to get on board.
Verdict: Check It.
Halo: Escalation #1
Story by Chris Schlerf
Art by Sergio Arino
Colour by Michael Atiyeh
I admit that I don't know anything about the world of Halo outside of the video games. At times it feels that this book is targeted at the hardcore Halo fan and not the casual reader. It has been quite some time since I played a Halo title, but it felt like I was diving into the middle of a series, not issue #1. Schlerf does a nice job establishing a premise that could be milked in an ongoing series, but did little to hook me.
The art from Arnino seemed to suffer from some inconsistencies as well. His character design is good, but the pages felt flat for the most part. Nothing was horrible, but nothing was particularly memorable.
There is potential in this series, but it is doubtful I will join Palmer and Lasky in any future adventures. It largely felt uninviting to the uninitiated, which is all too common in the comics world. If you are a big Halo fan then I am guessing you already picked this up and could care less what some stranger on the internet says.
Verdict: Byrne It.

I was wondering what info you may have on the ancestry of Osmund Dutch and his first wife, Margaret Haywell.
I am also a descendant, thru their son Robert then descendants > Samuel > George John > George Jr > Arthur > Arthur Jr > Hannah J Dutch who married Daniel M Dockham.
Daniel and Hannah's daughter Mary Jane Dockham married my great grandfather, Sumner Fessenden Davis.
I am also seeking confirmation of his pedigree.I think he is descended from Joseph Coult Davis and Hannah, but I have holes and brick walls to be filled in and broken thru.

Forensic Art Cases
Mock Crime Scene Investigation
Scientific Illustrations
Portage County (Deerfield, Ohio)
This individual, a White female aged between 14 and 17 years old, was found (11-94) in a heavily wooded area of the Berlin Reservoir. My reconstruction appeared in various local papers in December, 1994. But it wasn't until 2001 that Detective Kim Clements of the Beaver County, PA, District Attorney's Office found this sketch on the website of the Doe Network (
). It looked enough like photos of a missing girl from Pennsylvania for DNA comparisons to be conducted. The identity was confirmed as Sarah Rae Boehm, from Rochester, PA, who was reported missing in July, 1994, by her mother. She was 14 years old.
Akron Beacon Journal 6.4.03
Stark County (Ohio)
This individual, a Black male aged around 25 years (20 – 31 years) was found (12-01) in a farmer's field in Canton Township, completely skeletonized. The bones were on the surface, not buried. No clothes or personal belongings were found with his remains. The farmer had not plowed this field for the past five years, so he may have died anywhere between 1996 and 2001. He was about 5 feet 7 inches tall (5'4" to 5'10"). He had extensive dental work (many silver fillings and probably had all his wisdom teeth extracted). Anyone having information about this individual should call the Stark County Sheriff's office at (330) 430-3800.
Cuyahoga County (Ohio)
This individual, a middle-aged Black male, was found (Spring 1998) in an abandoned warehouse in Cleveland, Ohio. The remains were skeletonized and the man could have been dead for several years. Anyone with information about this man's identity should call the Cleveland police homicide unit at
(216) 623-5464.
Cuyahoga County (Ohio)
A Black male skeleton was found in the chimney of the Mount Ararat Baptist Church Youth Center (2-99). He could have been dead for several months or years. He was between 37 to 47 years old and between five foot seven and five foot ten inches tall. Anyone with information about this man's identity should call the Cleveland police homicide unit at (216) 623-5464.
Erie County (Sandusky, Ohio)
In May, 1996 a partially decomposed body of a woman washed up on the shore of Lake Erie near Cedar Point. She was probably biracial (White and Black), about 40 years old, weighed between 135 and 145 pounds, and was 5 feet, 8 inches tall. There are many clues to her identity: she had a diamond ring on her right hand, an appendectomy scar, evidence for a hysterectomy and a gall bladder operation. Each of her ear lobes had two piercing holes.
Butler County (Ohio)
This individual, a middle-aged White male, was found in the Great Miami River (5-97). His height was about 5 foot 10 inches, and he had a slender waist (33 inches). There was evidence for surgery on the bone of the right orbit. He was wearing jeans and a bead necklace.

Apart from weather.com and it's affilaites, are there any good websites for long range forecast for Portugal, Algarve area?
There is no such thing as a long range forecast that predicts weather anywhere 2 weeks out.
It can only be vague and theres no science to it as the nwp's even are only accurate to about 72 hrs and a shaky guideline past 72hrs up to about 5 days.
Beyond 5 days use the tea leaves to be honest or common sense on the basics.
Heres my stab at it anyway given that nwp's are no good for this type of thing.
It will be warm to hot every day with sea breezes.
There may be afternoon showers or thunderstorms mainly inland.
Repeat to the end of the summer as a general guide.It is possible that the odd low pressure system may come in off the atlantic that far south but theres no way to tell more than a week ahead of the event.

Egyptian actress Zeina denied circulating rumors that she has accused the Egyptian Ministry of Interior and former Minister Habeeb Al Adli of wrongfully convicting her sister Yasmine for drug trafficking.
Zeina stressed that she never made any such announcement, and threatened to take legal action against anyone who accuses her of making false statements.
In a press release by the actress, Zeina said that she was shocked by the number of calls she received regarding her alleged attack against the former minister, who is currently imprisoned for corruption.
Zeina also said that she never contacted the media regarding this issue and that when she wants to attack someone, she will talk directly to that person.
