Mid way through 2009 already???
My poor abandoned blogspot $@#^&* I plan to make it active again...
I'm home now. New Zealand has become my past life since 1.5 years ago. Yet it is still very much in my heart...
Currently I'm blending myself into the health community here. I'm content with the path that I've chosen in this career. I'm training to be a GP.
The other part of my life is.... hmm.... let's just say I didn't expect things to become quite complicated... but then who said life is easy??

A memorable night - 2 arrests
Last night, it started off quiet. A few patients came to ED but there were only minor cases. I spent most of the early part of the night surfing the net. However at 0415 am when I was just thinking about eating my sahur, the crash alarm went off which meant someone was having a cardiac arrest. It turned out to be in ICU and when I arrived there the nurses had already started chest compressions as per the CPR protocol. We tried our best for 15 min when we finally stopped and declared him dead.
At 0715 to my horror, another crash alarm went off, again in ICU. I ran up from ED so fast I thought I could win the marathon (lol... exaggerating mode ON). Anyway on a serious note, when I arrived as usual the nurses had already started CPR, and we worked on him for about 5 min, gave him a shot of adrenaline and I intubated him when suddenly he 'came back', he started breathing and his heart started to beat again. Alhamdulillah!!
What made that night memorable was 2 cardiac arrests in one night is just so rare (in this hospital that is). And it was my first time ever to deal with it during night duty when I was the only doctor in the hospital. The consultants arrived when the actions were over. I learnt a lot despite the initial fright. I didn't even have time to panic which was a good thing lol... Just get into action. Thank you Allah for helping me in such difficult times.

Rough night...
Al-Baqarah (2: 238)
"Guard strictly (five obligatory) As-Salawat (the prayers) especially the middle Salat. And stand before Allah with obedience."

Another set of night shift
After finishing this task, I'll be leaving for home for my 3 weeks holiday. May my holiday spending Ramadhan in Brunei with my family be blessed by Allah. Two things can happen at home depending on my ability to control my nafs (nafsu). First, i could become slack with Brunei preparing for Hari Raya, with having a car making it easy for me to go shopping, lots of special TV programmes (the so-called Ramadhan/Raya special), lots of food tempting me to buy and eat lots. May Allah protect me from being slack. The second possibility is that with the support of my family, relatives, friends and Muslimin in Brunei, i'll be able to observe the month of Ramadhan with more taqwa. Furthermore being on leave from work means I have more time for Allah. My aim is for the later and that is the main purpose I decided to go home. May Allah give me strength to control my nafs and not destroy my initial intention. Amin...

Reflect on what we asked for
Al-Baqarah (2:186)
Allah said: "and when My slaves ask you concerning Me, tell them I am near. I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on Me. So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright."
Allah will respond to our du'a as long as we obey Allah and believe in Him.
Ask ourselves what's our final destination?? We die and then we have the HereAfter (Akhirah) to wait for. What's our goal? Paradise or otherwise? So when we say our du'a we should always ask for both of this world and also Akhirah. When we asked Allah to murahkan rezeki, we must think of the aim of asking for the increased rezeki i.e. so that we are able to spend it for Allah's cause (e.g. to help our parents, the poor, the orphans, to share our knowledge with others, to help our society with the job Allah gave us, etc). May Allah guides us to the right path.
Al-Baqarah (2:200 -202)
'...But of mankind there are some who say: "Our Lord! Give us Your Bounties in this world!" and for them there is no portion in the Hereafter.'
'And some of them say: "Our Lord! Give us in this world and also in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire.'
'For them there will be alloted a share for what they have earned...'

Keep going... keep going...
I am truly tired today. Had spent the whole day assisting in operating theatre, 2 big operations and a few minor ones... My feet are aching, my shoulders' sore...
In terms of my prayers, i feel I'm slack today because of this. My khusyuk during solat was disrupted to a certain extent today. Have I tried my best to focus? Maybe not... I should try harder... This is exactly what I'm scared of... Physically tired from doing worldly matters to the extent of affecting our preparation for Akhirah... Should it be like this? I don't think so. If my Iman is strong enough I should be able to withstand this no matter how tired my body feels. Rasulullah SAW himself used to pray until his feet were swollen.
Narrated Al-Mughira: The Prophet used to stand (in the prayer) or pray till both his feet or legs swelled. He was asked why (he offered such an unbearable prayer) and he said, "should I not be a thankful slave." (Sahih Bukhari)
It shows how weak I am still... Being tired doesn't mean we should decrease our ibadah and it isn't an excuse for not being khusyuk in our solat. We should remember Allah in good and bad times and we should be more patient (sabar). May Allah give me strength to overcome this test.
Al-Baqarah (2:152)
"Therefore remember Me (Allah), I will remember you, and be grateful to Me and never be ungrateful."
Al-Baqarah (2:153)
"O you who believe! Seek help in patience and As-Salat. Truly! Allah is with the As-Sabirun (the patient/sabar)."

Ramadhan Kareem
Narrated Abu Huraira: Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, "When the month of Ramadan comes, the gates of
Ramadhan is a special month and hence let us not make it similar to any other month. Let us reduce the time spent on worldly needs and pleasures. Instead lets feed our suffering souls by remembering Allah and increasing the amount of good deeds. May Allah give us hidayah.
Al-Baqarah (2:183)
"O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may learn self-restraint"
Let us remind ourselves together and not be someone who reminds others of amar maaruf nahi munkar (doing good deeds and forbidding from sin) but we ourselves fail to do it. Nau'zubillah...
Al-Baqarah (2:44)
"Enjoin you Al- Birr (piety and righteousness and each and every act of obedience to Allah) on the people and you forget to practice it yourselves..."
Narrated Abu Wail: Usama heard Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, "A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown in the (Hell) Fire, so that his intestines will come out, and he will go around like a donkey goes around a millstone. The people of (Hell) Fire will gather around him and say: O so-and-so! What is wrong with you? Didn't you use to order us to do good deeds and forbid us to do bad deeds? He will reply: Yes, I used to order you to do good deeds, but I did not do them myself, and I used to forbid you to do bad deeds, yet I used to do them myself." (Translation of sahih Bukhari - Vol 4 Book 54 No.489)

Canoe, pantai, Brunei...
I've always loved the water... however ironically I can't swim lol... When I was little, I used to play at the beach near my grandparents' home in Penanjong. When the adults were busy fishing 'mengikis', we (the kids) spent hours playing with water and sand at the shore. However now Pantai Penanjong has undergone major reconstruction due to erosion. Hopefully one of these days dad would allow me to join him fishing 'ke laut bejaul or mengandang'. It's one of his long time hobby.
In Sanskrit, the word 'Varunai' means 'seaborn' – seafarers, mariners and living on water (Kampong Ayer) - from bruneiresources.blogspot.com
Am I losing it...
My spiritual need is suffering... I've tried my best to overcome it by sembahyang, bezikir etc etc... It's working but I need to work harder. Being with my family and spending the Ramadhan together will hopefully boost it even more. God bless...
7 years... I could continue to be here longer if I want to... continue training and go home as a Consultant instead of a mere House officer... but what's the rush huh? My thinking anyway... others might not like the way I'm thinking... I could go mad at this rate... I might snap!...
Society emphasizes so much on earning good money, more and more money... going for higher positions ASAP... but in doing so, we overlooked the basic human need as a Muslim.. what's the purpose of us being in this world?? We know the answer to that but we continuously forget when we're trying to strive for the world. Sigh... my ranting is probably just me not entirely happy with work at the moment... I need a break to recuperate... 4 more weeks to go... I'm happy with that thought (^_^)

Hargailah warga emas kita
Just recently my grandma was admitted to the hospital back home. My dad said that she's fine but I can't help feeling worried. All I can do from here is pray for her health. Dad said that she's a bit confused in the hospital. She kept thinking that she's at home and worried that she hasn't done her daily routine such as daily prayers, cooking for grandpa, etc etc. I think the main reason why she's confused is because she's in an unfamiliar environment. I miss her terribly, feels like I want to fly home right now.
When we asked our elderly relative to follow our instructions usually for their well-being and safety and they refused; we said they are being stubborn. Has it ever occurred to us that they also have a mind of their own?? They have lived up to 80 - 90++ and have always been independent all their life, suddenly we're taking away bit by bit that very thing that keeps their spirits up; telling them they can't do this and that anymore. Of course they're gonna protest. Usually they listen to us if we reason with them gently. Let them do the basic things they always do like cooking for the family, get them a helper if able so that the burden of their work is very much reduced. Monitor them but don't interfere too much... Just think how would you feel if you're in their shoes?? If they don't want to go to the hospital for minor problems, let them be... it's their choice. We must remember, they might be physically weak because of their age, but they still have their own mind. Keep them happy and smiling... Make them feel that their effort for bringing us up is worthwhile and they've done a good job. Love them unconditionally.

Dunedin next week... BBQ yummy
Up is down
Being awake at night and catching up with sleep during daytime (hence up is down - day is night) was a difficult task initially but now that I've gotten used to the new routine, I have trouble going back to the old one. I couldn't sleep at all tonight... I lay in bed listening to my iPod, while my mind's racing thinking about lots of stuff... I thought of going out for a run but it's too freezing cold outside. Sigh...

Fasten your seatbelt friend, we're travelling together ;)
This pic has nothing to do with this post. This photo is taken by me ;) lawa right hehe... when we went for the gondola ride in Christchurch.

When you guys drove me back to Timaru last week, Mohammed (my colleague a.k.a consultant) saw us driving down the Timaru main street. He saw girls wearing headscarf in a car (which is of course a rare sight in this small country town) and thought to himself "that must be Nora and her buddies" haha. Anyway I miss u girls, have a great holiday in Brunei... I envy u guys lahhh... I wanna go home jua!!! ;)

Short Story by: ToniTaylor
Margareta's lover dies, without her knowing. She thinks he left her... but he didn't; thus his soul is not at peace.
She finally arrived...
She took the position she always takes... In the same exact spot she always stood in.
I knew she'd come, she always does... Every month, at the same time, at the same place...
The place she last saw me at, the place where our last memory remains unforgotten, undead.
As time passes by, her beauty fades away along with the smile that once was my moon, in a moonless night.
Only if she knew I didn't left, I'd never leave her. Only if she knew that fate was the one who killed our love, by killing one of its slaves.
It kills me to see her like that. Oh! But I'm already dead.
Every month I come here, and watch her as she cries... every twenty-first I'm here, as she dies more and more inside.
So I'm sitting here on the cold ground, inches apart from her youthful body.
So close, and yet she's unreachable for me.
I see her as she begins to walk away, and this time, I know she'll never come back here.
I whisper to myself in the hope that she'll hear me,
"Margareta... Margareta...
If I could, I'd never leave this earth.
Only if I could.. just for a second to rebirth.
I can't describe the lengths that I would go to,
the things I'd do to show you... "
I saw her shivering. Could it be... Was she hearing my words through her porcelain skin... Or was the wind whispering them in her ears, for me?
Unfortunately, not... The cold wind was just blowing through her golden hair; my words remain forever unsaid.
Before I even knew it, I was looking at her back... I was looking at her as she goes. "Margareta!" I shouted as loud, as my dead lungs would let me.
Was it my imagination, or did she turn her head... And was that a tear running down her face, or was it a raindrop...
Oh, beautiful blue sky, are you crying along with me?
Only if she could see me... Only if she could hear me... Only if she knew that I'm just a wandering soul without a body,
Wanting to show her that I'd never leave her, not on purpose...
Oh, Margareta!
I'd rather be in your arms for just a second, than to be in heaven for an eternity.
Oh, my love, my hope, my live and my soul; my death and my end... My etarnal, forever I'll be yours.

Elegantly beautiful. Wonderful flow to the prose...Haunting, lonely, but somehow hopeful. I like it, and read and reread...Xavier
ooh im ever so sorry,
i have no idea about short stories
im sorry if that came across offensive
thats why i dont comment on short stories because i have no clue so who am i to give feedback.
still though,loved it.
That was really good! So sad, at the same time... you can almost feel the longing!
Very powerful. I don't usually read this type stuff, but that very good.
Sad, but who knows if true.
This was absolutely beautiful and what a great idea. I just loved it and without even reading the other entries, if I was judging, I would declare you the winner lol. Definitely gets my like it vote..... Pat
This sounds poetic to me, a beautiful story, i love it. I'll like you to read my poems and tell me what you think.
I don't know what contest you're entering this wonderful piece in, but I'd say you have more than a ghost of a chance of winning!
You are so going to win the contest! I love it!
P.S, what contest did you enter? I want to know if it is still around, I would love to enter too( not that I will win:) LOL. its ok if you dont answer this:0
that was such a sad story. You are really good at expressing the characters feelings. I really enjoyed reading it. I am sure you will win that contest!
Toni its nicely written a great read and easy to follow I like it a lot. You described loneliness beautifully. Mainly I'm here to read poems and occasional story. I started this one and I immersed myself completely. Well done :-)
"Beautiful".Theres somthing really sorrowfull about this.Its poetic as well.I hope i get to read more short stories by you.
what, a heart felt story, I like ghost stories, or poem, it's the unknown
that's intresting, nice poem,
A moving and beautiful piece of writing! You have an amazing way of expressing feelings in your writing well done Toni :D xx
My dear friend, this is awesome to extremes! I loved it so much. You made me totally get involved in it. So emotional. So freaking emotional. Love unsaid!
Keep writing and Kmu.
oh toni, why don't you just go everywhere and tell everyone that this is here? this is one of those rare stories that deserves for me to pull out my gift for words bag and just gush and gush about it. but i want to do something else for you. i'm going to take a chance that i might fall right on my face here, but i want to introduce you to a very special friend of mine that i've come to know only through his music. bear with me. i may be wrong, but i really, really don't think i am. i think you will become a friend of his too, with only a little guidance from me. i think you will love this. my friend i'm talking about is a singer/song writer named warren zevon. he's no longer with us, and you may have never even heard of him, but he was something else. ok, now comes the moment whether or not i can talk toni into listening to one of his songs just exactly the way i want her to. you see, when i read your words "margareta......margareta" i was hit by an incredible desire to share this with you. the song of his is called "carmalita", and i'm asking you to go to u-tube and listen only to the studio version, and to listen to it wearing headphones so that you'll avoid the tinny computer sound quality. the song has a chilling quality to it because, inconceivably, he was able to combine some of the harshest, grittiest lyrics with some of the most beautiful acoustic guitar work i've ever heard. and if you will listen to it, really listen to it, and if you have the reaction that i think you are going to have, you will know what i felt when i read your short story. i hope you feel it like i did.
so haunting, so surreal, so painful... it touched me...there are several grammatical and spelling mistakes which you should rectify to make it perfect. Loved it

Tis' the season to be shopping, fahlahlah…lahlahlah. Ooops, I meant to say jolly but with all of this holiday shopping on my mind I tend to go a little bit bonkers right around now.

Terrorism and Technology: Covering Pakistan by way of Chino
Technology is amazing, isn't it? Today, I interviewed a Riverside pastor who is from Lahore, Pakistan. She was among the invited speakers for an inter-faith prayer vigil, sponsored by the Baitul Hameed Mosque.
The gathering was for the victims of the bombing attack of an amusement park, filled with families.
Rev Khushnud was in Lahore, just days before the Easter attack in a crowded park. Her husband, a Christian bishop, is still in Lahore and spent Sunday attending to those who lost loved ones or were injured in the blast and hospitalized.
I did a lengthy interview with Rev. Khushnud as she relayed what her husband told her about the carnage.
But, then, thanks to FaceTime (!) I was actually able to ask my questions directly to him.
It was 8 in the morning, Pakistani time and Samuel Azariah was just waking up.
He lay in bed as he described the horror of the day.
This is a shot of the screen in the truck's editing system.
He believes the death toll is much higher than reported. The official death toll is 70 but Azariah says there were at least 70 deaths at one hospital he visited and another 30 deaths at another hospital. He also told me he's not sure if this attack targeted Christians, since so many of the victims were not Christian.


text: Just bought these springs and had them fitted to my Audi a3 S Line from a VAG specialist. The car hasnt dropped nearly as much as I'd hoped. I know the car is standard 15mm lower so the drop won't be as much, but I was still expecting a lot more. It also seems as though the rear is a little lower than the front. Have any of you guys experienced the same thing ? How much do you think this is due to just the springs taking a little while to settle in ? On the plus side though, it is a lot nippier in the corners! Cheers guys.

text: Rim was showing some wear. Not real bad, but better to change while it's working than wait to long. The bar that came with the saw, the oil hole started to plug up regularly. New bar & rim so a new chain so ready to go for next spring. The piston lock was the only issue. I finally use the rope trick & the clutch popped off OK. I did put anti seize on the clutch treads when I put it back on. Dab of grease on the needle bearings also. ( I actually was able to throw the old chain & rim in the trash can. ) But saved the bar. Never know, may get me out of a bind. I bought 2 rim drives, one for the tool box. Now I looked up the angle for sharpening the Oregon LGX chain & it says 25° I had a Stihl RS chain on the saw & it was 30°. I use the file guide but now need one with 25° angle lines on it. Does it ever end ? Is the different angle that important. I "assumed" all chisel chains had the same angle. I have 7/32 files. Now to get a 25° file guide. Maybe scribe some 25° lines on the Stihl 30° guide

Early Birds Save $50 Before the Course Is Complete.
The Spicy Animations Course is now 80% complete, and I'll be raising the price once it's 100% ready.
Recently I added 11 brand-new techniques and updated the epic resource guide of inspiration, pointing you to a variety of additional resources, free tools and other ideas.
The Spicy Animations Course now includes the first 27 of 32 mix-n-match techniques making advanced PowerPoint animations and special effects accessible to everyone.
It's by far my most complete and comprehensive work and I'm diligently working on the last little bit now.
Once the Course is 100% complete (soon), I'll be permanently increasing the price of the Course to $299.
Before that happens, I wanted to give you the chance to grab my FULL course before it's 100% complete and save $50. But this special offer expires at midnight.
More Comprehensive than My YouTube Channel
I love teaching on YouTube.
It's how I got started online and I will continue adding new videos, spicy effects and inspiring ideas to my channel (for sure!).
But there is a big downside to teaching on YouTube…
The downside is, after spending more hours than I care to admit crafting and publishing a new video, YouTube publishing rules restrict me from updating and editing that video in the future (even if I discover a new and better way to do things).
So for most of my stuff up on YouTube, I have already developed a better way (sometimes radically better).
That's because since starting my channel, I've spent hundreds of hours tinkering around and am constantly deconstructing PowerPoint effects looking for better, faster and easier ways to create professional effects…
After over 2 years of research and experimentation, here's what I've discovered:
Almost all professional effects (even the wildest one out there) can be broken down into a mix-n-match combination of JUST 32 different animation techniques.
That said, simply knowing the 32 techniques isn't enough.
That's why my Spicy Animations Course doesn't just teach you the 32 techniques and call it a day. Instead, it goes 10 steps further, delivering real-world experience mix-n-matching the techniques together to create one grand animated sequence: a 150+ stack of animations, effects and triggers spread out over 28 slides.
That way you learn exactly how to properly plan, design and execute your own animation. You know all of the decisions you need to make and all the options available to you.
That's why I'm so excited about the course, because…
It's a Brand-New Way to Build Animated Effects!
You'll be thrilled to see how fast you can pull off a wide variety of effects using this radical new approach to building and animated slides.
Simply follow along and you'll not only get hands-on experience building a 150+ animated sequence from scratch, you'll also learn the ins and outs of 32 different animation techniques that you can stack up any way you like for you own projects.
Combined with my time-and-tested approach to building animated slides that you'll also learn as you follow along, you'll see an immediate improvement in the quality of your projects!
The Spicy Animations Course is by far the most comprehensive system for using PowerPoint animations and special effects that I've ever seen.
I'm using this system CONSTANTLY now for my own projects. I'm loving it! And you will too.
That's because not only does it make professional animated effects accessible to everyone, but…
The Best Part Is: It's a Ton of Fun Too!
Most presenters are paddling up the creek of sameness without a paddle.
That's why there's nothing more refreshing than a professionally-built and well-timed animated effect. It lights up your audience's eyes.
It's fun for your audience (and your paycheck!), and it's fun for you too!
And that's because…
That's the Secret to Advanced Animation Techniques
The SECRET to advanced animations and effects in PowerPoint has nothing to do with innate skills, talent, or superhuman abilities...
It really all boils down to some simple skills, techniques and strategies that anyone can learn. What I call Animation Stacking(TM).
That is, stacking up common PowerPoint animations and effects in creative ways to create advanced "I can't believe that's PowerPoint" effects and sequences.
And depending on the effect you are shooting for, you can stack up 2, 10, or even 100+ animations to create your professional-looking sequence.
For example: using my 32 mix-n-match techniques to tie 200+ animations, effects and triggers together over 28 slides to create an advanced sequence (like I walk you step-by-step through in my Spicy Animations Course).
That's the secret to:
- Spinning a globe
- Turning a key in a lock
- Opening and closing doors and boxes
- Nudging, bumping, twisting, dragging, and making your objects fly
- Kicking objects off your slide in creative ways
- Transforming words into other words (and images!)
- Making presentations more spicy, engaging, and memorable
- Standing out as an extremely creative, top-notch presenter (or designer)
The trick to knocking out these types of animations and effects is understanding how to 'stack' up your animations, step by step, in a way that is easy to follow and keep consistent.
After years of trial and error and experimentation, I've boiled everything you need to know about PowerPoint animations and how to stack them into advanced effects into 32 interchangeable techniques – with catchy names, to make them more memorable.

- Sold Date:
- Source: eBay
This dress is a very beautiful shade of aqua. It dates back to Patti's era and has never been worn. T is a paper label that reads...organza dress with slip size 2. The dress is 16 inches long...perfect for Patti. It ties with a large bow in the back and as mentioned on the label it has an attached slip in a the same shade of aqua. T is lace in the front and back. I examined the dress carefully. I found two pinhead size holes on one sleeve. It's in the back and on the under part of the sleeve so it's not visible. Also t is a small faint stain on the end of a tie. The elastics on the sleeves are still functional. The dress closes in the back with three buttons but it needs to be opened further down to put it on Patti. I do not sew and would ruin the dress if I attempted to do anything to it which is why I am listing it. Patti would look gorgeous in this dress but please remember that the dress needs to be opened some more in the back. Patti cannot put it on as is. Please email me with questions as this sale is final. Thanks for looking.

Winter Kill
April 18, 2014 - 2:26pm — Dee Warren
If your yard is anything like my yard, winter kill took its toll. A lot of you are probably even saying, "Dee, we haven't even seen Spring, yet." I feel that way too. I'm ready to get in the yard, but Old Man Winter isn't ready to leave yet – many places around Kansas received snow on April 14 – Snow!
While I certainly understand the best time to overseed is Fall, I also understand after the brutal temperatures many of the us saw this winter, waiting might not be an option. So if it's not, here's what you can do:
Before starting a project like this, you need to mow. Short. The overseeding process needs soil to obtain a high germination rate so get as much of the existing grass out of the way as possible. Mow your lawn short – two inches or so – and rake all leaves and other winter remnants from your yard. If you have winter-kill areas in your lawn, the ideal prep tool is a Land Pride Powered Rake or Landscape Rake. Remove thatch and other debris to allow the seed direct contact with the soil. Lack of seed-to-soil contact is one of the biggest reasons overseeding fails – Spring or Fall!
Seed is expensive; don't trust this precious commodity to just any seeder. Apply seed with a Land Pride All-Purpose Seeder (APS) or a Land Pride Overseeder (OS). Land Pride Seeders offer precise placement of the seed aiding in the all-important seed-to-soil contact. Our APS features adjustable spiked front rollers to puncture the soil and our Overseeder has straight or curved knives to slice the ground. Both methods create seed-to-soil contact. Fluted seed cups on both units precisely meter the desired amount of seed in a broadcast pattern. Cast-iron packer wheels finish the job by pressing and firmly packing the seed into the soil.
Once you have finished the overseeding process, do not apply fertilizer with weed killer or pre-emergent of any kind; either will prevent your new seed from germinating. What you can do is water it. Early and often. Your new seed needs moisture to germinate and moisture to grow. You can also consider extra care for any areas that had a particularly rough winter. Horticulturists wiser than me suggest mulching the newly-seeded bare areas with peat moss or something similar to help reduce loss of seed to birds, wind, or erosion. Additionally, mulch helps hold in moisture.
Once you finish, get ready. It's time to get going on the rest of those honey-dos that have piled up since Fall. Doesn't the garage need cleaned out or the house painted?

Crossing borders
Koh Chang Travel Blog› entry 22 of 22 › view all entries
To get to Thailand from Battambang can go on the difficult way or the more convenient variant. We didn't go for public transport, but choose a private car with driver. He leaded us right out of Battambang onto a dirt road heading west to Pailin. This drive took us a few hours bumping and sweating. Near Pailin the driver dropped us at the Cambodian side of the border, where we got a stamp and were allowed to walk to the Thai customs. After filling in some papers for the necessary red tape we were allowed to cross the Thai border: we were in Thailand again!
A chabby taxi driver with an old big American car drove us over roads in perfect condition to Trat. From Trat ferries take of to the island Koh Chang.
Koh Chang was our final destination of our Indochina trip. A few days of relaxation in a nice resort with swimming pool, where we rented a little house near the beach. That's life! We didn't leave the resort and took the waterfalls on the island for granted. All we did was enjoy the sea, sun, pool and restaurant. A nice way to end your holidays.
From Trat we had an inland flight to Bangkok, right where we started our trip three weeks ago...

2011 Poultry Production Research Impacts, Part 4
Stress & Poultry Reproduction
Stress-induced ovarian dysfunction is a relatively common phenomenon in a wide variety of animal species. In poultry, genetic selection for increased and more efficient egg production in layers and for increased body weight in broiler-breeder hens often acts as a physiological stressor, compromising egg quality, embryo quality, and reproductive fitness. This phenomenon is commonly seen in laying hens selected for increased egg production and extending laying periods and in broiler-breeder hens selected for increased body weight and rapid growth rate.
Although much work has been done to determine the manner in which central neural circuits disrupt ovarian cyclicity, little focus has been placed on the peripheral stress mechanisms
regulating gonadal function. The influence of stress hormones, such as
corticosterones, on ovarian follicles is dependent upon the expression of glucocorticoid receptors on ovarian tissues that can bind corticosterones and elicit intracellular changes.
In order to understand ovarian susceptibility to corticosterones, it is necessary to examine glucocorticoid receptor expression in ovarian follicles as they mature and prepare for ovulation. Elucidation of ovarian susceptibility to stress hormones may enable poultry geneticists to select for laying hens and broiler-breeder hens with ovarian follicles that are more resistant to the negative effect of corticosterones. Ultimately, this understanding may allow for improved reproductive performance and efficiency in layers.
What Has Been Done
Scientists at N.C. State University have characterized the expression of glucocorticoid
receptors in the hierarchical and non-hierarchical follicles of White Leghorns in production, compared the expression of
glucocorticoid receptor expression in free-range vs. caged hens, compared the expression of glucocorticoid receptor expression in germinal disc vs. non-germinal disc regions of hierarchical follicles, and compared the expression of glucocorticoid receptors in broiler-breeder hens differeing significantly in egg production.
With an understanding of the influence of peripheral stress hormones on ovarian function, it may be possible to alter ovarian stress susceptibility in laying hens and broiler-breeders through genetic selection of hens with more "stress-resistant" ovarian follicles. Ultimately, poultry geneticists may be able to determine which laying hens are better able to handle environmental and physiological stressors without negatively impacting egg production.

Improvement of Selenium Use in Poultry Growth & Health
Selenium (Se) is a naturally occurring micronutrient that is essential for several known major metabolic pathways in both mammals and birds. Dietary Se can exist as organic selenomethionine and selenocysteine or in inorganic selenate and selenite forms. It is incorporated as selenocysteine into a subset of specific selenium-dependent proteins (selenoproteins), many of which have still undefined biochemical and physiological functions. Selenoproteins involved in oxidative stress, such as the ubiquitous glutathione peroxidase enzymes and the thioredoxin reductase (TRX) enzymes are best understood, due to the ability to quench oxygen and nitrogen free radicals that can damage proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Unchecked and sustained free radical generation affects cellular and tissue functions that ultimately result in organ dysfunctions and physiological disruptions. The dietary requirements for Se must be delicately balanced between the harmful effects of excessive Se uptake, leading to Se toxicity due to inorganic Se forms, and pathology resulting from depressed selenoprotein function during Se deficiency.
Organic Se feed supplements are currently being developed for animals on a worldwide basis, and the basis for organic Se usage in poultry is based largely on work conducted at N.C. State University over the past 15 years.
Ongoing studies at NCSU have focused on understanding Se tropism for certain tissues and selenoprotein
synthesis. More recently, NCSU
studies expanded to explore the influence of organic Se on gene expression in the chicken genome and to use this data to explain the reasons for improved performance of domestic poultry fed organic Se.
Initial research has shown that selenoprotein P gene expression was enhanced by feed supplementation with organic Se to a great intensity than by sodium selenite, and both Se forms induced SelP compared with no supplemental Se. In liver and brain, SelP expression decreased with age. Additionally, NCSU researchers demonstrated that expression of SelP can be modified by avian reovirus infection, regardless of Se supplement source. In this initial study, they also noted that polymeric immunoglobulin receptor expression in secretory organs and glands associated with the gastrointestinal tract was induced by both inorganic and organic Se. Therefore, additional studies were conducted to focus on the relationship between Se involvement in plgR and secretory IgA expression in the intestinal tract of reovirus-challenged chickens.
What Has Been Done
Avian reoviruses (ARV) cause significant economic losses in the poultry industry. The small intestine is the most common site for ARV infection, regardless of the inoculation route, with infection spread beginning in the villus and crypt epithelium.
Selenium (Se) plays a role in the chicken's ability to resist or regain function after ARV infection. Using either dietary inorganic Se, organic Se, or no supplemental Se, the influence of ARV infection was investigated. Morphological alteration of the ileal villi of Se-fed and
ARV-challenged broiler chickens was quantitifed in this study. The improved profile of the intestinal villus was not evident until 16 days
(p.i.), when organic Se-fed broiler intestines were recovering at a faster pace than those of inorganic Se-fed broilers. Secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) is the primary antibody involved in antigen-antibody interactions in the mucosal immune system, providing the first line of defense against pathogens. Polymeric IgA, secreted by plasma cells is conjugated by polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR), and the complex is then transported to the apical membrane and secreted into the intestinal lumen. Intestinal sIgA was altered by Se form as well as by ARV infection. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, time-dependent differences in expression were found, in which the greatest expression occurred in organic Se-fed birds, followed by inorganic Se-fed birds, with the lowest expression level occurring in the control group, early in the challenge trials. However over all intervals during the trial, organic Se-fed birds exhibited higher ileal IgA expression.
Biliary sIgA levels were highest in organic Se-fed birds. IgA transcytosis across epithelial and endocrine cells depends on pIgR existing in a 1:1
ratio with sIgA. Quantitative
real-time PCR analysis
showed that Se has a positive influence on resistance to and recovery from double-stranded avian ARV. By 16 days p.i., when ARV had run its course, organic Se-fed birds showed lower levels of pIgR expression, suggesting that this group recovered more quickly.
Selenium thus appears to influence the dynamics of intestinal sIgA and pIgR, which improve intestinal villus integrity.
Over the past 15 years, this group's research has demonstrated the need to reevaluate the form of Se that should be used in formulations of poultry diets.
Reduced dietary Se consumption can have significant effects on levels of selenoproteins, such as glutathione peroxidases, thioredoxin reductases, and methionine sulfoxide
reductases, all enzymes
involved in oxidative stress responses deriving from
unchecked mitochondrial free radical production or from lipid free radicals produced by
membranes. Selenium, through its incorporation into selenoproteins, provides protection from reactive oxygen species (free radicals, ROS)-induced cell damage. Because oxidative stress and subsequent ROS production have been implicated in many degenerative diseases and infectious diseases in poultry, it is important to know the role played by selenoproteins, such as selenoprotein P, a carrier of Se in the body.
The consequence of selenoprotein P deficiency on numerous physiological and biochemical functions can have extensive impact on the viability and growth of poultry species. We know from research experience over the past 15 years that control of ROS and maintenance of antioxidant selenoprotein enzymes can result in improved growth and resistance to the damaging effects of both viral and bacterial diseases.
The previous work with selenoprotein P gene expression and characterization of its response during a viral challenge has
potential to affect
every broiler raised in North Carolina and in the whole world since SelP is the major carrier of Se in poultry species and is necessary to deliver Se to cells where antioxidant functions are constantly being conducted. In the current research, we have provided a new tool to be used by veterinarians and poultry scientists to address mucosal immunity in chickens. The observation that Se and Se forms affect the expression of plgR and slgA in the intestine is important due to the fact that slgA represents the first line of immunological defense against poultry pathogens. The relationship between sIgA and pIgR is simple. The deposition of a single molecule of sIgA into the lumen of the intestinal tract requires a single molecule of pIgR for transcytosis and eventual export of sig a into the intestinal lumen. Thus, if an increase in sIgA is found in the intestinal lumen, then there must be an increase in the expression of pIgR to carry the sIgA across the enterocyes of the intestinal tract. Not only does Se influence antioxidant status of the bird and the fact that redox status is also important in the immune responses of the bird, we now have definitive information that selenium also influences IgA secretion. This information along with the previously documented Se influence on expression of SelP, IgG and IgM in poultry indicates that the role played by Se in mucosal immunity is critical. With this knowledge, veterinarians and poultry scientists can better address issues such as vaccine development, nutrigenomics, probiotic supplementation, prebiotic supplementation, and many other immunologically linked processes in poultry. These observations will allow improved production of meat type poultry and promote a safer food supply for the American consumer. While difficult to place a monetary value on the impact of such research, one can make assertions relative to the impact on some sectors involved in poultry production.
The shift from inorganic to organic Se use in breeder diets has improved chick production by about 4 chicks per breeder hen, representing about $1.00 per breeder housed. This figure alone has a potential positive impact of an additional $60,000,000 for the breeder industry just in the USA. World impact represents an is even greater value to the
breeder industry. Further, in the
broiler industry,
the impact of this
technology is
even greater impact than it is for breeder production: Taking into account the possibility that each broiler fed organic selenium potentially improves feed conversion and meat yield, broiler growers could realize as much as $0.50 additional income/broiler. This gain would represent a potential national impact of $4,500,000,000, with even greater potential gain in value worldwide.
NCSU selenium nutrition
has other impacts, also. Increased meat yield of higher quality, an improvement in product value for consumers; and the biomedical implications of improved immunity is of such magnitude that one can only estimate impact value ranging into the hundreds of billions of dollars.

Going, Going, Gone
By: 24
Jarod stood on the porch of his rented cabin on the lake. He was a mile or more from Blue Cove, Delaware, but he didn't worry about being a little close to the Centre. He watched as the water lapped onto the beach and then ebb away from the beach again. He flipped his phone open and dialed a familiar number.
"I need to talk to you."
"Well, talk."
"Not on the phone. Can you meet me somewhere?"
"Why would I want to meet with you unless it's to turn yourself in?"
"Because I think I have a way to close down the Centre."
"Okay. I'll meet you. How about tomorrow at 3:00 pm at the Café in town?"
"I'll be there. I don't have to tell you to come alone. Do I?"
"Good. See you soon."
3:00 pm.
Downtown Blue Cove, Delaware
Jarod watched from a hiding space as Miss Parker parked her car and get out walking towards the Café where they were to meet. He glanced around happy to find out that there were no sweepers. He stood there for a while just to make sure that she wasn't lying and then walked towards the building.
He walked in and saw her sitting at a window table. He sat down in the chair opposite of her.
"Hello Miss Parker."
"Jarod. So I take it you want to bring down the Centre?"
"Yes. I need help though. I need you, Sydney and Broots to help. Don't worry. I won't put anyone in danger. I just need help with things. I have a safe place where no one will find out about."
"Why are you willing to trust me?"
"Because I remember the little boy who I gave a kiss to and I miss him. I also miss us being friends."
"I still am your friend Miss Parker even if you never thought of yourself as mine. That's why I gave you all those clues to your past. That's why I kept in contact with you and Sydney."
"Why Jarod?"
"Didn't I tell you when Bartlett caught us? Because I still remember the little girl that gave me my first kiss."
"Why have you decided to remember the first kiss now?"
"Because I'm tired of all the lies that my father fed me. I'm tired of going from one place to the next trying to capture you and take you back. I want it to end."
Jarod stared at her for a minute then nodded his head.
"I'm tired of running to. I want the chance to spend more than a month in one place. I want my freedom and to stop looking over my shoulder all the time. I want to stop being afraid. I want my nightmares to stop. I want a life."
"I'm sorry Jarod."
"It's not your fault. I don't blame you. You are a victim just like I was."
"How can you do that?"
"Do what?"
"How can you forgive me? For all the things I did to you."
"How can you forgive me? I mean I called you in the middle of the nights, led you on chases and fed you clues to your past."
"I know you want me to open my eyes to what the Centre is about. I know that now."
"Miss Parker, I want you to get your things and meet me here in about an hour. I have the safe house and you can move there to. I will do the same with Broots and Sydney."
"Jarod, I want you do something for me."
"Do you trust me?"
"Yes. Why?"
"I want you to involve Sam."
"Why would I do that?"
"Because I feel like he wants to do something about the Centre. I caught him looking away a few times and doing stuff that he would get killed doing if I wasn't the one that watched it. He betrayed the Centre on numerous occasions."
"I don't know Miss Parker. I don't trust him."
"Please Jarod. He's a good man."
"How do I know that he won't tackle me, cuff me and take me back to the Centre?"
"Because I truly believe that he wants it to stop. Like I said I saw him betray the Centre."
"Okay, I'll talk to him, but if I believe this to be a trap, or anything then I'll leave and never look back. I'll do this on my own. Got it?"
"Tell him to meet us here in the same time as I told you. I'll take both of you to the safe house if I believe what he says is true."
She left and came back with Sam in tow. They exited the car and walked to the Café again. Jarod was across the street again glancing around for a trap. He stood there for a few more minutes and then walked across the street. Miss Parker and Sam were in the same table as last time and he sat down. He looked around once more and then turned to Sam.
"I hear you want to end the Centre too?"
"Yes. When Miss Parker told me what you were doing I said yes I'd meet you. Jarod, you can trust me. I won't take you in. I'm tired of working for the Centre and I want all the ugliness inside to stop."
"You were the one that chased me and cuffed me."
"Yes. That was my work, but I recently found out more stuff that I wanted to. I want this to stop. I smuggled some files out of the Centre and was wondering what to do with them."
"Where are the files?"
"In my briefcase." He lifted the briefcase up and unlocked it. Jarod tensed at the click of the briefcase. He flinched when it was opened.
The folders were taken out and handed to the pretender. Jarod read through them and glanced at Sam.
"When did you get these?"
He looked into Sam's eyes and then nodded.
"Okay, I'll trust you."
"Thank you. What about my wife and son?"
"I'll put them up somewhere safe."
Sam and Miss Parker followed Jarod to his newest place and pulled up to the cabin. The cabin was a wooden color and was three stories high. A patio graced the bottom part of the house all the way around the house. A four-car garage was attached to the house. Jarod clicked the garage door opener and they all opened. He parked his car and Miss Parker parked right beside him. They all got out and walked to the door which led to the kitchen.
"This is a beautiful house Jarod."
"Yes, it is. There's four bedrooms upstairs and there's four on the top floor. There's two bathrooms upstairs and two on the top floor."
Jarod led them upstairs and told them they could have whatever rooms they wanted except his room. Sam had a duffle bag and Miss Parker had a suitcase. They went back downstairs and talked a bit. Jarod put down the papers and booted up his laptop. He went to work. He asked Miss Parker and Sam some questions and then went back to the computer. He glanced at the computer clock and found out that it was almost dinnertime. He got up and started dinner. The plates were out and so were the silverware then he served dinner. The living room table was big enough for a few more people around it plus the laptop and papers, so he didn't have to move anything.
"This is good Jarod."
"Thank you." He smiled.
That night Jarod had a nightmare. He bolted up in bed and brushed the sweat off his brow. He went to the bathroom and splashed water on his face and then went outside to sit on the porch steps. He watched the moon reflect off the water and the water flow to the beach.
"Are you okay Jarod?"
He jumped when he heard her voice. He turned to her and watched her approach him.
"I'm fine." He said as he turned back to the water.
"Do you have nightmares a lot?"
"I'm sorry Jarod."
"It's not your fault. Go back in and go to sleep. I know how to do this."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No, I'll be fine."
The next day Jarod went out again with Sam to talk to his wife. When they drove up to the house his wife April opened the door and hugged her husband. Their little boy Jason ran to his father.
"Where were you Sam?"
"I have to talk to you."
"Jarod can you please watch Jason?"
He led her into their bedroom and sat her down on a chair.
"I haven't been truthful in what I do."
"What do you mean? And who is that man Jarod? Do you trust him with Jason?"
"I trust him with Jason and I'll tell you everything."
"I work for a corporation called the Centre. I've been on a team trying to find and capture Jarod the man in the living room."
"You let a criminal with our son?" She said as she went to get up.
"Wait, I'm not finished."
"I recently found out that he was stolen from his parents as a child. He was taken because he's a pretender, a genius who can become anyone he wants to be. He was locked up in a cell only to be let out to do simulations. He did experiments and experiments were done on him. When he was older he found out that the simulations he thought were helping were actually hurting and killing people, so he escaped. I was put on his pursuit team along with Miss Parker, Jarod's childhood friend, Sydney, Jarod's mentor or handler and then Broots a computer tech. We go every time there's a sighting and go search for him to bring him back to the Centre."
"My goodness who would do that to a child?"
"The Centre."
"I told you this because we need you to take you somewhere safe. We can't take you with us, but somewhere else."
She got a suitcase and packed most of her things and then did the same with Jason's clothes. She also took some toys for him and then went back to the living room and watched the two. Sam was watching his son and Jarod too.
"So you move the little pieces that look like gingerbread around the board. Then you take the cards that look like candy and go to that place?"
"Yes." The little boy laughed at the man.
"What is this?" Jarod pointed to the house.
"It's a gingerbread house."
"We made one for Christmas last year."
"Really was it fun?"
"Yes. We put lemon drops and gummy bears around it."
"Gummy bears? Lemon drops? What are those?"
"Oh. Do they taste as good as Pez?"
"I thought you said he's a genius?" Whispered April.
"He was kept isolated and only ate one thing inside the Centre. He never knew about Pez, ice cream, candy, or anything else. I heard that his first discovery when he escaped was ice cream." He whispered back.
"My goodness. Poor boy."
"Jason, why don't you put the game away? We have to go."
"Okay, Mommy."
Jarod helped the little boy put the game away and Jason walked to the cupboard to put it away.
"Sam told me about you. I'm sorry that you were put through that and I hope you find your parents."
"Thank you."
They all walked out of the house. Jarod glanced around and saw nothing out of the ordinary. He then watched April and Jason get into one car and them in their car. Jarod led them to the safe house and made sure they were situated. Sam said goodbye to his family glad that they were safe. Jarod stopped at a store to get food. He brought some ice cream too then went back to the house.

Mann, who had battled prostate cancer since 1997, died late Tuesday, according to a friend, Sy Johnson. A funeral home in Santa Fe said it was making arrangements with Mann's family.
Mann had moved to Santa Fe in the late 1980s after spending most of his life in his native New York City.
Mann was known for performing different musical styles and creatively combining them. Always seeking out new rhythms and harmonies, he toured the world, spending time in Africa, Brazil and Japan.
Family of Mann, formed in 1973, played world music before it was called that. Mann's best-selling "Memphis Underground" was a founding recording of fusion.
He continued to work diligently on his music at a time most people consider retirement.
"I'm playing better than I've ever played," Mann said in a 1995 Associated Press interview. "I'm practicing. I always thought I could get by just with my natural instincts. As far as I'm concerned, almost everything I've done in the past has been on the surface or just a hair below. Now I'm getting serious."
When he left Atlantic Records in 1979 he started producing his own records, and later he launched his own label, Kokopelli. In all, he made more than 100 albums as leader.
Touring, he said, was "a killer, the hours and food. I always thought if you made good records your records could do the traveling for you."
Album titles reflect Mann's versatility: "At the Village Gate" (1962); "African Suite" (1959); "Brasil, Bossa Nova & Blues" (1962); "Latin Mann" 1965; "Memphis Two Step" (1971); and "Eastern European Roots" (2000).
"As much as I love music, I never really thought it was my life. I thought it was the vehicle I used to express my life," he said.
Born Herbert Solomon in Brooklyn in 1930, he started his career when he was 15, playing in groups at Catskill Mountain summer resorts. He studied saxophone but preferred flute. In the 1950s, after three years in the Army playing with the Army Band in Trieste, Italy, Mann toured France and Scandinavia.
He credited visits to Africa and Brazil in the early 1960s with changing his musical outlook.
"When I came back (from Africa), I hired (Babatunde) Olatunji, a Nigerian drummer living here, and we started doing music based on African motifs," he told the AP.
As for the Brazil tour, he said, "Revelation doesn't touch it. Up to that point, the ethnic music I had heard had 14 drums playing different parts but the melodies were very simple. Then I saw the 'Black Orpheus' movie and heard multiple rhythm parts along with the most beautiful melodies in the world.
He returned and recorded with Brazilian musicians, including Antonio Carlos Jobim and a 19-year-old Sergio Mendes.
He was 70 when he put out "Eastern European Roots."
"I've played Cuban music, but I'm not Cuban," he told the Rocky Mountain News. "I've played Brazilian music, but I'm not Brazilian. I've played jazz, but I'm not African-American. What I am is an Eastern European Jew. I love all the music I've played, but I wanted something that is mine."

I read a piece on the BBC News website today titled "Space is the final frontier for evolution, study claims" and I thought I'd point something out here. I do not really intend to open up the "evolution vs. intelligent design vs. young earth creationism" debates, I just want to show the blindly circular logic that goes on at times. The study is from a group of PhD students at the University of Bristol in my homeland, England, and they claim that the old survival of the fittest is not the best explanation or catalyst for evolution. Instead, lifeforms need some room to grow.
Evolution, they say, happens "when animals move into empty areas of living space, not occupied by other animals." And then they give this awesome example:
"For example, when birds evolved the ability to fly, that opened up a vast range of new possibilities not available to other animals. Suddenly the skies were quite literally the limit, triggering a new evolutionary burst."
So maybe I'm misreading this, or maybe the author of the article for the BBC is misrepresenting the study, but the following seem to be true of the above statement:
a) Birds could not fly at some point.
b) Birds needed to move into the freedom and space of the skies in order to evolve.
c) Birds evolved to be able to fly into the skies so that they could evolve.
So what were they doing? Using a slingshot for extended periods of the day to spend enough time in the air that their bodies, or their offspring, would catch on and evolve wings so that they could fly up their and evolve some more? Or did they merely use a positive mental attitude and imagine they were up there where the air is rare and will themselves to grow wings?
I know I am biased because I cannot accept evolution as valid for two reasons. Firstly, I believe the Bible says God made distinct kinds of things, and not one kind of thing that happened to morph into other kinds. Secondly, evolution as a theory has no evidential grounds, only posturing and speculation. And really weird, illogical claims in university research studies.

(KRON/CNN) — Officials say a new wave of undocumented immigrants, mostly from Central America, are arriving on America's doorstep.
The mayor of a border city in Texas says his conversations with recent arrivals reveal Trump's campaign promises have a lot to do with it.
But as CNN found out, some immigrants say their arrival has nothing to do with the president-elect.
It's a second south Texas border surge, and there are hardly any empty seats on the unmarked buses that pull into McAllen's Central Station. Thousands of undocumented Central American families fleeing crime and poverty are again saturating America's immigration system.
They turn themselves into authorities at the border, are processed, then released wearing an ankle monitor and the promise of returning for a court date.
Before heading north, Carlos Cardona, and his 4-year-old son, made a brief stop at a shelter that opened its doors during the immigration surge of 2014.
It's run by sister Norma Pimentel.
"The violence, instead of diminishing, is escalating," Pimentel said. "And so we have families that fear for their lives, especially of their kids."
Volunteers have been walking these families from the bus station, to the shelter, and back for already two years now.
But what's new are the numbers that we are seeing lately. Some of the officials in South Texas said they will also tell you there's another reason why so many people are rushing to the US.
"They all know about President Trump," McAllen Mayor Jim Darling said. "They all know about a wall. When you talk to them they know that."
Mayor Darling suspects it's no longer just violence and poverty in Central America, fueling this new wave.
"If you are talking about building a fence, and we are not going to let a lot of people in, you better get over here now before January and the swearing-in ceremony," Darling said.
Among the crowds, CNN found 17-year-old Diriam Fuentes and her father Neri.
On the banks of the Rio Grande, more migrants emerge out of the darkness and turn themselves into authorities.
It's a seemingly endless flow of families arriving night and day.
"There is a big fear in our community about what is going to happen," Pimentel said. "Ultimately, we have to respond…to the fact that they're human beings."
Carlos Cardona and his son are starting the U.S. stretch of his journey.
Like so many others who are now in their shoes, they face an uncertain future.

Ordered 4 dresses. All lovely quality and extremely well priced. 3 need to be returned as too big (I had gone up a size after reading other feedback). No problem with return and exchange system and staff extremely helpful. Only niggle would be postage costs which were rather high but all in all a great service selling good quality sensibly price dresses. Thank you, I am looking forward to wearing my dress to the ball.

county where it intersected the Pickens Trail (NE to SW) and became the Middle
Cherokee Path. The Middle Cherokee Path continued in a southeasterly
direction through modern day Oglethorpe, Wilkens, Lincoln, Columbia, and Richmond

- When I saw this discussion almost a month ago about the Georgia Road,
a distant bell chimed in my head, and today while looking up
information about the Newman family and the movement of early
settlers into Coosa County, I ran up on this excerpt from the journal
of Henry Newman about this road and migration.
In the journal of Henry S. Matthews, he describes his family's move
from Meriwether County, Georgia to Tallapoosa County in 1856.
They presented quite a caravan of wagons with livestock being driven
along with them. The children rode the wagons for a while and then
gleefully got down and scampered along with the wagon train. At night
they pulled the wagons into a grove (close to church if possible),
cooked the meals on the ground in cast iron pots, and slept in the
wagons. They crossed the Chattahoochee at Abbotsville Georgia, at the
ford north of West Point, Georgia. That crossed the Tallapoosa on the
ferry near today's Bibbee's Ferry, and continued to near Youngville
in Tallapoosa County, in what is known today as Sunny Level community.
Among the people in this wagon train were Dr. John Matthews, who
settled in Hanover, and Charles A Matthews, who later brought his
family to Hanover. The same or general route as described here was
used by many families. We think it became known as the Georgia Road.

One woman has people talking across California.
They've seen her on TV, looking lovely in her wedding dress. She tries, over and over, to walk down the aisle to her groom, but again and again is blocked by obstacles in her way. She's the nameless centerpiece of a new ad rolled out by Let California Ring, a campaign that is not political or linked to an election-cycle, but rather aims at moving hearts and minds.
The wedding ad, which can be seen on www.letcaliforniaring.org, puts viewers in the shoes of the many same-sex couples who are prevented from marrying the person that they love. It's striking how many non-gay people have never really been invited to put themselves in another's place. Left on their own, they too often treat their view or vote on ending marriage discrimination as kind of a "freebie" that has no real-life consequences to couples, kids, and even the gay people they say they want to be fair to. Those of us who care owe it to the fair-minded people we know to ask them to get engaged.
Let California Ring aims to encourage a million conversations throughout the state (and I'd like to see millions more throughout the country) -- at house-parties, around office water-coolers (do many offices still have those?), and across dinner tables. To make these conversations happen, we have to break the chicken-and-egg of gay people not talking to the people in their lives directly about why we need them to care about ending exclusion from marriage, while non-gay people wait for their non-gay friends and family-members to bring it up, or think everything is fine. It's not enough to be tolerant and caring, because the gay people we care about are being treated as second-class citizens and the same-sex couples we know are denied important tangible and intangible protections and respect. The denial of the freedom to marry harms people -- and when we break our silence about this, and answer people's questions, hearts and minds do move.
Will it work? Another powerful video a few weeks ago proved that conversations do move people. After having repeatedly said he would veto a City Council measure adding San Diego to the other major California cities urging the state Supreme Court to end marriage discrimination, Mayor Jerry Sanders stepped before cameras announcing his intention to sign a resolution supporting the freedom to marry. Mayor Sanders, a Republican former police chief, said his change of heart and mind was due to soul-searching and personal conversations with gay people he knows, including his staff and his lesbian daughter, showing how powerful it is to make the conversation about real people, not just legalisms or hypotheticals. He also described how he had come to understand that his prior support for civil union, rather than marriage, was inadequate and wrong.
There is tremendous momentum in California for ending the exclusion from marriage that harms families and helps no one. In the next few months, the state Supreme Court will hear a challenge to discrimination brought by several couples who, like the woman in the ad, want to see the personal commitment they've made in life honored and respected by the law, in the legal commitment called marriage. The Court is likely to rule sometime in 2008, the 60th anniversary of Perez v. Sharp, the historic case in which the same court became the first in the country to strike down race-discrimination in marriage. Mindful of the lessons of past battles over marriage discrimination, hundreds of civil rights, child welfare, health professional, legal, and civic organizations joined the couples before the Supreme Court, speaking out in support of the same-sex couples, making the case for fairness.
Now you can add your voice.
By supporting Let California Ring, or even just by using its tools and spreading the word, those of us committed to the freedom to marry can engage the open-minded but conflicted people around us in conversations about why marriage matters and how fixing the law so as not to exclude will benefit non-gay and gay people alike.
And while the freedom to marry is about a lot more than weddings and presents, it's great to see people taking part in a cause in which doing the right thing brings bling.
