Ashqabad, Islamabad for early execution of TAPI project
Ashqabad, Islamabad for early execution of TAPI project
PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): Islamabad has renewed its commitment to the early execution of the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline project, calling it a giant stride towards regional integration with Central Asia.
At a joint news conference with Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhammadov late on Wednesday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said Pakistan was ready to provide any assistance to expedite the implementation of the project and cut its cost.
A huge energy scheme, the TAPI project could be emerge as a trade and transit corridor involving gas pipelines, roads, electricity transmission and fibre optic lines, he said, stressing strenuousefforts for its implementation at the earliest.
While hailing Turkmenistan's offer to export 1,000MW of electricity to Pakistan, the prime minister said bilateral trade needed to be boosted. He also called for facilitating business visas to achieve that objective.
The two nations signed eight accords on bilateral cooperation, including a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on financial intelligence to curb money-laundering and terror financing. Sharif and Berdimuhammadov witnessed the signing of the accords.
Pakistan shared the concern that terrorism and extremism were the root cause of insecurity and instability in the region. "This menace also undermines our endeavours for socio-economic development. We have to work collectively to eradicate the scourge of terrorism and extremism," Sharif said.
Berdimuhammadov, who was accorded a warm welcome on his arrival at the Prime Minister's House, said both the countries were faced with common challenges. "Combating common threats is our shared goal," he added.
The visiting president hoped: "The gas line would bring warmth and cordiality, and generate economic activity, create job opportunities and improve the living standards of our peoples." It would boost socio-economic cooperation, he believed.
Game changer
Pakistan President Mamnoon Hussain called the project a game changer with benefits for all participating countries. The ground breaking ceremony for the project was a welcome development and Pakistan was looking forward to its completion by 2018, he said.
"Pakistan also looks forward to the import of 1000MW electricity from Turkmenistan on a fast track basis," he said at a meeting with the Berdimuhamedov.
Berdimuhamedov indicated his country's interest in implementing joint ventures and forging close cooperation with Pakistan. He said the TAPI project would benefit all countries in the region and Turkmenistan was building transportation corridors to revive the ancient silk route.

Jack Roeda is preaching on the calling of Samuel (1 Samuel 3:1-10), Philip, and Nathanael (John 1:43-51) next week. As I was searching for songs to fit the theme, I came across the hymn "Jesus Calls O'er the Tumult" in the Hymnary. I liked the text, but wasn't convinced by the tune that accompanied it in the Psalter Hymnal. So I wrote a new one and took the opportunity to learn more about Logic Studio by recording a demo of it. Here it is: Greg, the band of Greg, and the Greg choir performing "Jesus Calls."

Many times in my life, I was placed in social situations that left me feeling so depleted afterwards and I could not exactly grasp why this was happening. When I read this book, I started to understand how many people play these games that end up making me feel used and hopeless. After a year or so, I also began realizing that I play some of these games myself. I realized that although they work as temporary coping devices, they become obstacles to my personal development in the long run. This is when I really decided to change my life. I began living with a new awareness of the behaviors of not only others but my own as well! It has worked wonders and if I could explain this process, I would like to share it with everyone! But since I am not so good at explaining these things, I will suggest a book that explains this very well. It is called 'The Ever-Transcending Spirit' by Toru Sato and it explains all of these things in such a great way! Read this book by Berne! Read the book by Sato! It will be the best gift you give to yourself!
I do not usually give a title 5 stars unless I feel it is an important read. This book is beneficial to the reader in that it reveals the psychological mechanisims behind interpersonal relationships. It explains why people argue so much and why arguing has a hidden bennefit. He explains how and why each of us need constant human contact, whether it be negative or positve. In the end he reveals some of his thoughts on how to overcome these games with simple awareness. If you read this book, it will profoundly affect your perception on human relations forever.
Wow! What an interesting book! This book shows us that there is much more going on in any human interaction than the exchange of information. It show us the hidden meaning and purpose behind all types of interactions and how we all participate in those hidden 'games' without being aware of it. For better or for worse, this book will totally change how you see the world. A newer book called 'The Ever-transcending Spirit' by Toru Sato provides a excellent account of why we play these games and how it relates to our development as human beings. Sato puts all of this in a larger context and enables us to see the light as well. Excellent book! All I can say is, both books are pure gold.
This book is full of insights about what is really going on in relationships. It truly opened my eyes about the people around me and person I am. If you are interested in understanding relationships, this is a must read! If you want to take your understanding a few steps further, read Dr. Toru Sato's Rhythm, Relationships, and Transcendence. This expand's on Dr. Berne's ideas and relates it not only to relationships but also to consciousness, human development and evolution. It is a already a bestseller among relationship experts.
This book is so wonderful! It opened my eyes to so many things that people do subconsciously in social situations to get what they want or to get the reaction they want, and how powerful they really are. Many times I have been in so many of the situations described in this book, and I always felt like I was being played. Now I know that that is true, but now I also know how to recognize and combat those games so that I do not get sucked in. I also realized while reading this book that I play some of these games myself. I found that even though they may work, that they are unhealthy and wrong. Reading this book not only opened my eyes, but also gave me ideas on how to not use the games that come so easily and naturally to us to get what I want. I think that that is my favorite part of this book, the part that helps you decide what to do now that you know about the games. These games cover every genera possible in our lives from power games, to marital games. I think that everyone should read this book because it really helps you understand other people and yourself, and it helps you live more peacefully. This is a brilliant book written by a brilliant and insightful person.

From Thread: The Sadness Collector
Author: Maria Nastassja Cordero AB Political Science
The story represents the importance of the specific roles played by each of the members of a Filipino family. It is evident that a mother and a father in a Filipino family tends to have a very distant role to perform in the household. The father should be the bread-winner while the mother should stay at home taking care of the kids. In the story The Sadness Collector they have seemed to break tradition. The mother went to Paris to work and actually be the bread winner while the father, although still working, stayed at home with Rica. In the absence of the mother, the Filipino perspective that the mother is the best person who can look out for the welfare of her child/children was represented in the story seeing Rica as a confused and disturbed child because her mom is not by her side. The father was so hard to connect with Rica because of the reason that it was hard for himself to accept the fact that he had to stay with his child which is for him is not his real role. Seeing this situation, I can say that a Filipino family tends to be more patriarchal and breaking this tradition seemed to be, for the many, ruining of the family. What is also evident here in this selection is the perspective of the very big role played by the mother in the Filipino family, they keep family ties and a child without a mother by his/her side tends to grow out of the way, being an incomplete person inside.
From Thread: The Sadness Collector
Post: The Heck on "The Sadness Collector"
Author: Ivanheck Gatdula AB Political Science
At first glance "The Sadness Collector" seems to be your typical story of a Filipino family, one of which we see on movies. The mother goes to a foreign country, leaving her children behind, while taking care of a stranger's child with the intent to give a comfortable living for the family. However, what seems to be the typical story may be classified as a "daily tragedy", Merlinda Bobis depicted the corroding of what is said to be the essence of a Filipino family, "Close Knitted Family Bonds". Young girls usually steps within the shadows of their mother, but Rica not like most girls, lost the chance in her growing years. Suffering a great loss from the physical distance of the mother from Paris, to the eventual emotional distance of the father, who refuses to read her mother's letter an and answer the questions about the baby pictures. In this story it is now obvious that the effects is focused on Rica, a model of every Filipino child that never/forgot feeling of the loving touch of their mothers. In Merlinda Bobis' "poetic" short story leaves an alarming message, a child who lost the joy of being her mother's daughter, Filipino family seized of its very essence - what do we do now?

+ The demise of PIC
Dear Editor:
The Longboat Observer repeatedly sheds crocodile tears over the demise of the Longboat Key Public Interest Committee, after decades of first being a resident-oriented foil to developers, to ending up in its final years as an organ for various commercial interests on the island, and at the end a straight-out political committee in disguise, which failed to register as a political committee and published a political advertisement that did not comply with statutory disclaimer requirements.
Sadly, the board of PIC had to sign a consent decree admitting to operating illegally as a political committee and placing illegal ads supporting certain local candidates for the Town Commission.
The Observer lauded the PIC board for donating the remaining money in the organization's bank account to the local library, amid much breast-beating and bows for their altruism. However, there are a couple of questions that need to be addressed before we all kiss PIC a sad adieu.
I have a letter in writing from a dues-paying PIC member stating that he was not informed, at the time he paid his dues to PIC, that his money would be used for purposes of buying expensive political ads supporting certain candidates this member did not support. Both the state and the PIC board members who signed the above consent decree stated that the political ads were in violation of state laws and that PIC had operated as an unauthorized political committee. This raises questions of what monies were used to purchase the ads.
If member dues were involved, and the members (at least one) thought their money would be used for other purposes, how can the PIC board respond to this question; and they do need to respond. Their reputations rest on their answers. If on the other hand, the political ads were purchased with private funds, and the ads published under the supposed auspices of PIC, then other questions are raised concerning misrepresentation in an election, where one candidate lost by fewer than 27 votes. So, we are faced with the possible question: Since culpability has been established by the state, were the funds raised under false pretenses or spent for unintended purposes, as far as the dues-paying members were concerned, or is there some other explanation? At least one dues-paying PIC member would like to know.
The consent decree sites a $600 fine for election ad violations and activities. The decree is signed by counsel for the defendants. What monies were used to cover legal expenses?
There is no doubt that certain members of the PIC organization played a role in the town election process, possibly causing one candidate to lose by using what had been the trusted PIC name to make negative statements about that candidate. I wonder how those unaware residents, who read the PIC political ads and cast their votes accordingly, must feel after discovering that what they thought was trusted advice from PIC was nothing more than the political agenda of a few residents. The PIC dues-paying members were never polled about their political views.
The Observer would serve the community well by publishing complete and factual information instead of shameless propaganda and revisionist history. PIC met an ignominious end at the hands of a few residents who did not mind deceiving their fellow islanders and voters about their true political agenda and hiding behind the PIC name. Shame has been brought on what had once been a venerable community organization.

+ There should be rules when creating committees
Dear Editor:
I hope that the Urban Land Institute Implementation Advisory Committee as currently comprised comes forward with positive recommendations for the future of Longboat Key.
I have not worked with any of the current members during my 15-year ownership on the island, but I am sure they will do their best. I do have some recommendations for establishing working committees in the future:
1. The working committee should have specific objectives, a timetable for deliverables and a budget to work with.
2. The committee should be gender diversified. Women have a very different perspective than men do, possibly based upon societal reasons that will decrease over time, especially regarding quality-of-life issues.
3. The committee should include full-time, mostly full-time (commuter-type) and part-time residents. These three groups will likely have a diverse view on how Longboat Key should handle tourism, traffic, commercial activity and home marketability.
4. At least one member of the committee should be an active real estate agent who can provide some insight into the impact of recommendations upon market values.
5. At least one member of the committee should be a member of the Planning and Zoning Board, who can provide insight into the practical impact of recommendations upon political reality.
6. No commissioner should be a member of the committee.

The Outerwear EditWednesday, October 08, 2014
Now that the weather is changing, the air is getting colder and the sun is setting earlier, it's time to start thinking about donning the dreaded winter coat. While I am a huge fan of fall, I do not particularly enjoy having to bundle myself up in a marshmallow to stay warm in winter. It can be quite the challenge to find an aesthetically pleasing coat for the colder months so I thought I would put together a few of my top picks (both affordable and higher end) in the outerwear edit!

Audrina Patridge's distraught ex-boyfriend took to twitter to call her ''insecure'' and ''heartless'' before later removing the posts.
Audrina Patridge's former boyfriend has lashed out at her on twitter, calling her "insecure" and "heartless".
Former 'Hills' star and BMX racer Corey Bohan broke up two weeks ago after being involved in an on/off relationship since 2009 and while Audrina has reportedly moved on to Prince Harry's close friend, polo player Nic Roldan, Corey is struggling to cope with the split.
He wrote: "A girl that's told yes by everyone surrounding them grows up to be a heartless closed off insecure individual. Time 2 pick up the pieces & stop being so sad! Some woman will always be empty & rotten from the inside out. U cant love a heartless woman. (sic)"
Corey has since removed the posts and wrote instead: "If the world ends tomorrow it's all good! Family n real friends is what's up!! Don't take anything for granted peeps! Xoxoxoxoxo. Life is easy without insecurities :) my mates are the best. Love u guys!!! (sic)"
Audrina, 25, is reported to have fallen for Nic in Florida, where she is currently filming her new reality TV show 'Audrina'.
A source said: "Major Sparks flew between Audrina and Nic on Saturday night (05.03.11), and the entire evening they couldn't stop laughing and touching each other. Audrina seemed to be having the time of her life, dancing and mingling with guests, but you could tell she was especially focused on Nic."
After partying together on Saturday, the pair then met up again on Sunday (06.03.11) where Nic gave Audrina a "private polo lesson at the International Polo Club in Wellington".
Audrina has previously had an on/off four-year relationship with her 'The Hills' co-star Justin Brescia - also known as Justin-Bobby - and dated singer Ryan Cabrera.

Over 1.8 million nonprofits and charities for donors, volunteers and funders
Causes: Children & Youth, Education, Literacy, Remedial Reading & Encouragement, Special Education, Youth Development - Citizenship
Mission: Our mission at Lee Pesky Learning Center is to improve the lives of people who learn differently through prevention, evaluation, treatment, and research. For 15 years we have been providing high quality, effective services to individuals with learning disabilities. We are now ready to take the great work that we have accomplished, synthesize what we have learned, and share it with educators, clinicians, and school systems to advance the prevention, evaluation, and treatment of learning disabilities.
Target demographics: Individuals age 5 to 85 with learning disabilties
Geographic areas served: Southern Idaho
Programs: Counselors and teachers at the center work with approximately 90 clients per week, providing assessments, one-on-one specialized instruction or counseling to children and adults with learning differences. The typical student comes to the center twice a week for hour-long sessions. Group sessions are also held for social skills, study skills, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The center also offers services to parents giving them tips on everything from homework to discipline. Services are provided in four locations: boise, ketchum, hailey and caldwell, idaho.
training and consultation delivers a variety of classes and specialized training to teachers, schools, and school districts in research-based methods of teaching literacy. During fy13 the center taught classes to teachers and consulted with school districts and the idaho department of education working with approximately 1,200 teachers. The center's training and consultation services help idaho school districts as they work to implement the common core standards.
through grant funding, the center continues to provide training and resources to early childhood educators and parents. We train child care providers to use research-based early literacy instructional methods to better prepare preschoolers for school, and we distribte our book every child ready to learn to parents. The center is also contributing to research projects with professors from two universities. One project is looking for genetic links to different subtypes of dyslexia and the other is identifying and developing tools for early identification of math disabiliites.

Speech to COP21: Balancing renewable electricity with gas
Gas and renewables working together in harmony - a modern-day fairy tale?
For many people gathered in Paris it is indeed a fairy tale. For some, the fairytale is 'Little Red Riding Hood,' with gas a wolf in sheep's clothing, devouring poor granny. For others the fairytale is 'Goldilocks', with gas providing a solution, not too hot - like coal and not too cold - like renewables. However, in hunting through my Brothers Grimm the best tale of all may be 'Jack & the Beanstalk' - Jacques et le haricot magique, with gas the plucky Jack, climbing to the sky to conquer the giant of Climate Change. Perhaps I have overstretched my metaphor.
However, that is certainly the view from across the pond. In his 2014 State of the Union Address, President Obama hailed the shale gas revolution as the most effective way to power the economy while reducing carbon emissions. One thing is clear: natural gas emits less carbon than coal. President Obama termed the revolution, 'a gas bridge' to the future.
A bridge it may be, but the bridge can't go on forever. The question, therefore, is as always, when does the future start?
I represent Scotland in the European Parliament. For most of my life the oil and gas of the North Sea has been a constant presence, with Aberdeen, the city serving the oil fields, known as the 'Oil Capital of Europe.' Of late, Scotland has embraced the most far-reaching renewables targets of any nation on the face of the globe. How has Scotland managed to reconcile its mature oil industry with its progressive green ambitions? The answer is badly. There is an air of schizophrenia when energy is discussed in the round.
To give context to the tension, by 2016 Scotland's last coal fired power station will close. By 2025, Scotland's last two nuclear power plants will be decommissioned - primarily based upon ideology rather than energy strategy. Some 60% of Scotland's electricity generation will due to vanish by 2025.
The Scottish Government has three options:
Import electricity from England or indeed elsewhere in Europe, not a practical problem in an integrated energy market, but certainly a political one for a nationalist government;
Invest in renewables. The Scottish Government has grown renewables generation by 30% in a decade, an impressive feat. However, when the wind doesn't blow… Scotland is approaching 50% of its electricity from renewable sources, but electricity is only 21% of the energy mix. The largest share is gas heating at 55% and as yet there is no plan to covert Scotland's gas cookers and boilers to run on electricity. (The next largest is transport. Scotland has 1100 electric cars out of a fleet of 3.2 million).
Invest in gas fired power stations to produce our electricity.
So the challenge for the Scottish Government is to balance out the energy demands of Scotland, with an approach which allows year-on-year reduction in emissions.
The answer for Scotland in the short to medium term, as it was for the US, would appear to be building that magical gas bridge.
But what about the future?
There is enough gas in the ground to power us for 200 years. That much is clear. But it's expensive. Every day Europe spends over 1 billion euros importing gas from Russia. The North Sea is not what it once was. We have 30 to 40 years left of extraction. Indeed, even the USA's shale gas revolution has begun to judder.
Here in Paris we are reminded of our long-term carbon reduction goals: net-zero emissions by the end of the century. Indeed, the lead negotiator for the EU, Commissioner Canete, is arguing that very point in the room next door right now. So what does net zero actually mean for gas?
First and foremost it means innovation. CCS. That three letter acronym that we don't talk about in the UK anymore. Well, by the end of the century CCS, or efficiency levels so high that they nearly negate the need for CCS, will be required in order to keep gas a part of the energy mix. In my role as Rapporteur on the EU's Emissions Trading Scheme, I am pushing for a substantial innovation fund to support breakthrough technologies that will help keep fuels like gas a part of our energy mix.
But it also means adapting to the increase of renewables in the system, and shorter start up times, whether that be through combustion engines or more innovation in turbine engines. We need to be able to consistently supply gas to homes in a matter of seconds, not minutes, in order to account for the wind not blowing or the sun not shining. That may seem impossible now, but just think what else we have achieved in 85 years.
And that's your timeframe. 85 years to prove to the green groups and the politicians outside of this room, who today call for the end of all fossil fuels, that in fact you have the capabilities and the will to be a part of the solution. You have a responsibility as you always have done to supply people with heat and light when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow. But much like poor old Jack, who could bring home nothing but magic beans, you have the bum deal of having to innovate your industry and cut your emissions in the bygoing.
So, the clock is ticking, the giant is descending, and it's time to start chopping down the bean stock.

Brexit and Food
On 23 June 2016, the British public voted by 51.9% in favour of leaving the European Union in a national referendum. This decision will greatly impact all aspects of the UK food sector.
This space on the Food Research Collaboration website is dedicated to discussion and debate on food policy and Brexit, as well as keeping track of current resources related to the topic.
If you have any resources or events you would like us to add, do let us know at contact[@]foodresearch.org.uk. We see including resources from academics, researchers, CSOs, government and industry.

However, those involved in agriculture need to be better informed about the consequences for them of a British exit. This report identified issues that needed to be clarified in the referendum debate. It explored the policy options that would be available in the event of a British exit.

If the result of the referendum on 23 June leads to the UK leaving the EU, there will be impacts on the UK public finances. This report aims to set out the possible impacts, focusing particularly on the short run, given that the Chancellor wishes to achieve a budget balance by the end of this parliament.
- The EU single market: the value of membership versus access to the UK by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (August 2016)
On 23 June 2016, the UK public voted in favour of leaving the European Union. However, important decisions remain about the model for the UK's relationship with Europe outside of the EU, not least whether the UK seeks to remain a 'member' of the Single Market or only seeks (tariff-free) 'access'.
- New model farming by Campaign to Protect Rural England (August 2016)
The first paper in CPRE's new Food and Farming Foresight series suggests that, following the EU referendum decision, there is an opportunity for major policy change to develop a new vision and policies that will establish a sound future for farming.

When the Los Angeles Dodgers retained reliever Brandon League in October by guaranteeing him $22.5 million over three years, with the chance to earn an additional $10 million in incentives, it was a move that was largely panned in the baseball world.
League is a good-but-not-great reliever in a world where expensive multiyear contracts for nonelite relievers almost invariably end poorly for the team. Over the past four seasons, League's 3.51 ERA is nearly identical to that of Matt Belisle (making $4.1 million this year for Colorado) and Brandon Lyon (with the Mets for one year and just $750,000).
Why? Because League saved 37 games with the Seattle Mariners in 2011 and has earned the closer label. The excessive money may not bother the obscenely wealthy Dodgers as much as it would other teams, but general manager Ned Colletti compounded the decision by declaring that League would be the team's closer in 2013 despite the presence of the undeniably more talented Kenley Jansen.
This thinking is par for the course at Chavez Ravine. Last year, Javy Guerra began the season as the closer even though he is inferior to Jansen, and he lost the job to Jansen, who lost it to League when he had to miss a month with a cardiac issue.
While it's unclear if the Dodgers actually think League is better than Jansen, what is clear is that they are better off with League in the ninth and Jansen in a setup role.

Nicola Anderson: At 1.15, each place seemed to shudder with the memory of desperate days
At each site - hard won and even harder relinquished, the bloodstains only faded by the passing of a century - a wreath was solemnly laid. The synchronisation was done along the same military lines as the operations of 1916.
The GPO - centrepiece of the rebellion, where Pearse read the Proclamation of the Republic on the steps.
Moore Street - at the butcher's shop, where the wounded James Connolly was taken, badly injured, lying with three other wounded Volunteers and a British soldier.
The Four Courts - where commandant Ned Daly held the garrison, despite only having 150 of the 400 Irish Volunteers that he had expected to show up. His eyes had filled with tears when Nurse Elizabeth O'Farrell delivered Pearse's surrender note.
Dublin Castle - where the Irish Citizen Army, under Captain Seán Connolly, shot dead a policeman but failed to take the fortress, retreating instead to nearby City Hall, where they were besieged by over 200 soldiers.
The Royal College of Surgeons - where Commandant Michael Mallin and Countess Markievicz garrisoned the Irish Citizen Army after realising that St Stephen's Green was too vulnerable.
Boland's Mills - now an invisible ghost in the swanky 'Silicon Docks', but where de Valera's men were shelled by the British battleship Helga.
Jacob's Biscuit Factory - now the National Archives and the DIT on Aungier Street, where Peadar Kearney, composer of the National Anthem, served under Thomas MacDonagh
And the South Dublin Union workhouse - now St James's Hospital, where Nurse Margaretta Keogh was accidentally shot dead and Éamon Ceannt held command alongside WT Cosgrave, later Taoiseach of the new Free State.
At 1.15pm yesterday, each key location seemed to shudder with the memory of those desperate days, not so very long ago, when Irish men and women had fought furiously for the freedom of a nation, realising, sooner or later, that the venture was doomed.
Everyone was conscious that this was the 'real' centenary and the note of solemn reflection struck on Easter Sunday only intensified.
Each ceremony saw the same programme unfold, with a piper from the Defence Forces School of Music, followed by a National Colour Party marching into position.
At the Four Courts, Mrs Justice Susan Denham spoke passionately about the role women had played and recalled the humanity displayed by the Irish Volunteers when a water mains burst and threatened to drown all in the cells of the Bridewell.
At Moore Street, the mood was tense when Minister Heather Humphreys was drowned out by protesters calling for her resignation because of her stance on the preservation of the key buildings.
A republican protest down Henry Street continued past the place where the wreath-laying was to happen. The protesters lingered, but then moved on.
But when the minister began to speak, a small group of protesters dressed in period costume who were behind a black screen blocking off the area, rose up in unison.
"Shame on you," they chanted, shouting: "Out, out, out."
The minister was clearly uneasy, but continued.
"Your ancestors were part of a movement that changed the fault lines of history," she told the 1916 relatives in attendance. She told them that number 16 Moore Street was "an iconic location in our history, the scene of the last meeting of the Military Council of the newly proclaimed Irish Republic".
Afterwards, Brendan Plunkett, whose father John had lived at the butcher's shop at number 16, said the protest had been ill-timed and in poor taste, but acknowledged: "This is an historical war zone. The preservation of Moore Street is of paramount importance."
Maria White Fitzpatrick was also present; she is a great- grandniece of Nurse Elizabeth O'Farrell, whom she described as a private woman until her death in 1957. She recalled her mother speaking of 'Aunt Lizzie' as a woman to be reckoned with. "It was her way or no way," she said with a chuckle.
Around the corner at Henry Place, Australian Eamon McNamara (23), who is studying the Good Friday Agreement for a Masters, was immersed in his surroundings.
Deeply enjoying the centenary events, he commented that Australia Day was "much more tense" because of the controversy over the treatment of the indigenous people.
"It's brilliant to be here for this," he said.
The ceremonies concluded, then it was time for a change of mood. The city shook off all sombre memories, and the party started. The very best kind of party.
On O'Connell Street, an impromptu singsong of 'The Foggy Dew' ended with rapturous applause.
RTÉ's 'Reflecting the Rising' programme was a showcase of awesome proportions, with re-enactments, talks and events galore and every corner of the city heaved with a sea of people thoroughly enjoying themselves.
A group of neighbours from Ballybough were resplendent in period dress.
A 'Volunteer' man in full military regalia was licking an ice-cream on Wicklow Street. It was the good stuff - guaranteed Irish and lovingly handmade. The men of 1916 would have been queuing up too.
The city basked under unforecast sunshine - again the very best kind of sunshine.
There were picnics on the grass in St Stephen's Green.
At Dublin Castle, actor James McMahon - playing the policeman at the gates - had just been 'shot' for the 13th time at a highly absorbing re-enactment.
"I've figured out that the best thing to do is to drop against the wall. It looks more realistic," he said, estimating that they had played before 1,000 people by the afternoon.

When I was a child up until my 1st or 2nd year in highschool, when asked "If you had one wish that could be granted, what would it be and why?" I opted to answer, to have unlimited wishes, so I could wish anytime. But if that answer was not allowed, I'd answer "I wish I could turn back time."
Young as I was, I knew how important time was. Not technically, as in being always punctual whenever there's an event or something of that sort. But just that, I understood what it was. I lost two of my grandparents when I was a child and back then, I can't help but ask why people had to die, or why they had to say goodbye, they haven't even seen me graduate in elementary yet. But I was so naive back then, thinking that I could stop whatever sickness they had, or that I was powerful enough to not make their death inevitable. I was so silly.
Since then, I had this idea of seizing the moment, of not letting any opportunity pass by, of just taking hold of whatever comes my way. And yes, my friends, young as I was, I thought in a different way the way kids in my age bracket usually thought. My parents even said that I was a bit mature for my age. I wanted to do a lot of things, make a lot of memories, while there was still time. I didn't want to regret not doing this, or not being able to do that. I wanted to do things at any spur-of-the-moment feeling. I wanted to do things my way. Then I met Jesus. I was still that naive child who wanted to do a lot of things but the I-want-it-my-way slowly began to vanish. Or so I thought.
I got a little off track and thought that I was doing His will, but I wasn't and that I was being so selfish taking only into consideration what my heart felt. But the heart is full of deceit and all evil springs from it. And I thank Him for making me realize that I should renew my commitment to Him and be sorry for the wrong decisions I've done for the past years.
Asked now, if I would wish for the same thing again, I think not. I wouldn't even wish at all. I would pray, Pray for His will, pray for His guidance, pray for whatever He has in store for me.
There's no sense in wishing to turn back time, because it has passed. And would I have lived a life differently had I not done this or that? How would things be if I had? And yet again, I am full of what ifs. Had I taken more time to feel more, see more, hear more, am I still the same Rej right now? Had I not let the moments pass without taking someone for granted, or not having myself depend my happiness to things that are not permanent, would I be happier right now? Had I guarded my heart too much, or put up all those walls around me, will I ever be the same? What about those times I lost, if I gain it, would I feel better? I do regret, sometimes, no, slash that, most of the time. But I stop the moment I realize that floundering myself in rue wouldn't help at all. For everything, there is a reason. And I believe that my life wouldn't be the way it is now, had I not done and not done those things before. I will not be stronger than ever, had those problems, trials and obstacles not come my way. I will not be who I am if it weren't for the lessons in life that I have acquired through my right and wrong choices. But most of all, I would not be here today, typing this lengthy blog post, if God has not sustained me.
I know I am only 19 years old, and that there is still more to happen in the years to come. But as early as now, I am slowly letting myself comprehend that regret is not just a feeling. It's a choice you make when you look back. And that regret steams from discontentment with the way life went for you. And that discontment in the past may later lead on to unpleasant things in the present and unavoidable consequences in the future.
Just be thankful of who you are right now, what you've become, what you've been through, and what you have right now. Always keep Ecclesiastes 3:1 in mind.
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."

3rd grade was a pivotal year in my development as an illustrator. I can still see the prepubescent Tony, with the black coke-bottle glasses and flowbee haircut slouched over a drawing of Snoopy on his doghouse. After recreating logos for every NFL team, and countless Heathcliff and Peanuts sketches, I was yearning for true meaning. "Why am I here? What it my purpose? Is this as good as it gets?", I would ask as I wiped my nose on the sleeve of my Members Only jacket.
It all came together when I met Kendall. He was my first business partner. While diligently avoiding fractions, Kendall and I created a comic book called The Adventures of Trash Can Man. It was brilliantly written with detailed illustrations. Better yet, it was full of poop and fart jokes.
Although it was a collaboration, Kendall was better at drawing and wrote neater that me. It was a fact that no mother could side step and it frustrated me. But it inspired me to work harder, well, as hard as a 9 year old would work.
I remember the feeling of empowerment and freedom when we talked of starting a comic book then selling them for REAL money. It's the feeling I still get when I work on projects that help people meet their objectives, build their businesses while I continue to develop mine.
This site is dedicated to Kendall… wherever you are.
