APPMA Urges Pet Owners to Buckle-Up Pets
-Despite Safety Concerns, Dangers and a Growing Number of State Requirements, Almost Two-Thirds Admit to Not Using a Pet Restraint-
GREENWICH, CONN., April 19, 2007 – As millions of Americans get set to hit the road for summer vacations, the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association (APPMA) urges pet owners to be responsible and buckle-up their pets.
According to the 2007-2008 APPMA National Pet Owners Survey, 80% of pet owners say they travel with their pets but never use a restraint.
According to the Travel Industry Association of America, of the 71 million people in the U.S. who own dogs, over 29 million travel with them. This not only includes the busy vacation summer months, but in many cases, daily trips around home.
As travel with pets increases, more states are initiating laws addressing dogs in vehicles.California requires dogs in the open back of a pickup to be either in a cage or cross-tied to the truck unless the sides of the truck are at least 46 inches high.
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Oregon, Washington, Florida and Rhode Island restrict dogs from pickup trucks or open vehicles with the exception of some working dogs. Nevada, New York and Vermont have bills pending that would also ban the transport of dogs in the back of pickup trucks.
"I think in many cases what keeps people from utilizing pet restraints is a misconception that they require too much time and money to install and use them," said APPMA President, Bob Vetere. "As is the case in almost every sector of the pet industry, manufacturers are bringing more convenient products to market, and travel safety devices are no exception."
APPMA has compiled a list of pet travel products that are not only easy to install and use but also protect pets and people in vehicles, as well as make travel more convenient and enjoyable.

- Don't forget your pet when you lather up with sunscreen this summer.Doggles' Pet Sunscreen is designed specifically for dog's skin to avoid irritation.Many pet owners don't realize their pets can get sunburned, so it's important to apply the Pet Sunscreen to their nose and the tips of their ears.Pet Sunscreen also helps with coat conditions and helps to prevent sun bleaching in dark haired animals. www.doggles.com

Leaders and ministers across the region will attend the African Ministerial Conference on Meteorology (AMCOMET) from the 13 to 14 February 2015 in Cape Verde, to discuss the use of weather and climate services that will help the continent cope with shocks caused by extreme weather and climate change.
"The global warming trend continued in 2014, resulting in heat-waves, flooding and droughts. The first weeks of this year have been marked by flooding in Malawi and Mozambique and a deadly tropical cyclone in Madagascar," said World Meteorological Organization (WMO) secretary-general Michel Jarraud.
"Africa is extremely vulnerable to the increasing impacts of climate change, which will worsen food insecurity and water stress for the continent's growing population."
(READ MORE: Have we lost the battle against climate change?)
He added that national meteorological and hydrological services in Africa are vital to public safety and well-being as they enable sustainable development and are indispensable partners of economic sectors like agriculture, health and water management.
"They should receive the resources and recognition necessary to fulfil their mandates. This would save the continent millions of dollars and many, many lives," said Jarraud.
Institutional frameworks however differ from country to country, resulting in insufficient cooperation and operational policies.
(READ MORE: Climate change worsens food insecurity and diseases in Africa )
The AMCOMET session will therefore discuss the implementation of the integrated African strategy for Meteorology and will also decide on the establishment of a regional climate centre for Central Africa to consolidate researching and forecasting capabilities.
WMO added that members will also consider input from the meteorological community to a pan-African Space Policy and Strategy.

Encryption is a human right agreed by Bryan Johnson, Founder of KernelCo, OS Fund & BraintreeWhen I use Facebook today, I log in and I socialize with my friends and my family. In exchange for that, they acquire as much data as they possibly can about me. They know me better than my girlfriend. That's the same relationship I have with Google and Twitter and the government, who is also collecting everything they can about me. I really dislike this relationship. Now, let's imagine, if we ha... See More
Universal Basic Income disagreed by Andrew Ng, Baidu; Stanford CS faculty; founded Coursera and Google BrainI do not believe in unconditional basic income because this just encourages people to be trapped in low skilled jobs without a meaningful path to climb up to do better work. So rather to pay people to "do nothing" I would rather see a new "New deal" where we pay you to study because I think that today we know how to educate people at scale and the society is pretty good at finding meaningful wo...

Vaccines agreed by Bill Gates, Philanthropist. Founder and former CEO of Microsoft.Vaccines do more than save lives: they can also reduce the use of antibiotics and slow the spread of resistance.
Universal Basic Income agreed by Mark Zuckerberg, CEO at FacebookAn entrepreneurial culture thrives when it's easy to try lots of new ideas. We should explore ideas like universal basic income to give everyone a cushion to try new things. There is something wrong with our system when I can make billions of dollars in 10 years while millions of students can't afford to pay off their loans, let alone start a business.
Advanced artificial intelligence will pose a serious risk to society within the next 50 years disagreed by Andrew Ng, Baidu; Stanford CS faculty; founded Coursera and Google BrainWorrying about the rise of evil killer robots is like worrying about overpopulation and pollution on Mars before we've even set foot on it - an unnecessary distraction.
Carbon Tax agreed by Greg Mankiw, Harvard professor in economicsPeople don't want to think about climate change every time they do every decision. They can't. What a carbon tax does is it nudges them in the direction of doing the right thing. But you can cut other taxes in response.
Vaccines agreed by National Geographic, MagazineIf children in poor countries got the shots that rich countries take for granted, hundreds of thousands of young lives could be saved.
Carbon Tax agreed by Elon Musk, Founder of SpaceX, cofounder of Tesla, SolarCity & PayPalNot paying carbon taxes is like not paying for garbage collection.
Encryption is a human right agreed by Amnesty International, Human rights organisationPeople everywhere should be able to encrypt their communications and personal data as an essential protection of their rights to privacy and free speech. Encryption is a basic prerequisite for privacy and free speech in the digital age. Banning encryption is like banning envelopes and curtains. It takes away a basic tool for keeping your private life private.
Encryption is a human right disagreed by New York County District Attorney,The United States Constitution provides that local law enforcement agents may obtain access to places where criminals hide evidence – including their homes, car trunks, storage facilities, computers, and digital networks – so long as the agents have a search warrant issued by a judge. Carved into the bedrock of the Fourth Amendment is a balance between the privacy rights of individuals and the pub... See More
Assault weapons should be banned in the US agreed by Hillary Clinton, US presidential candidateWe can't fall into the trap set up by the gun lobby that says if you cannot stop every shooting you shouldn't try to stop any
Carbon Tax agreed by Paul Krugman, Economist (nobel laureate) and NY Times columnistEmissions taxes are the Economics 101 solution to pollution problems; every economist I know would start cheering wildly if Congress voted in a clean, across-the-board carbon tax.
Encryption is a human right agreed by EFF,Encryption protects democracy, by preserving speech and dissent in repressive countries
Encryption is a human right disagreed by Amber Rudd MP, British MP and Home SecretaryEncryption is severely limiting our agencies ability to stop terrorist attacks. "Real people" don't need encryption.
Carbon Tax agreed by Barack Obama, Former President of United States of AmericaI have long believed that the most elegant way to drive innovation and to reduce carbon emissions is to put a price on it
Carbon Tax agreed by Erik Solheim, Executive director of UN EnvironmentThe profit of destroying nature or polluting the planet is nearly always privatized, while the costs of polluting the planet or the cost of destroying ecosystems is nearly always socialized. That cannot continue.
Carbon Tax agreed by Bill Gates, Philanthropist. Founder and former CEO of Microsoft.The push is the R&D, the pull is the carbon tax. Yes, the government will be somewhat inept, but the private sector is in general inept. How many companies do venture capitalists invest in that go poorly? By far most of them.
Everyone should learn how to code agreed by Steve Jobs, co-Founder and former CEO of AppleEverybody in this country should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you how to think
Transgender individuals in the army agreed by Tim Cook, CEO at AppleWe are indebted to all who serve. Discrimination against anyone holds everyone back

Carbon Tax agreed by Martin Feldstein, Economics Professor @ Harvard University & President Emeritus, National Bureau of Economic ResearchTwo-thirds of American households will receive more in carbon dividends than they will pay directly in carbon taxes.
Vaccines agreed by Mark Zuckerberg, CEO at FacebookThe science is completely clear: vaccinations work and are important for the health of everyone in our community
Women-only train carriages agreed by Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of the UK Labour PartyIt is unacceptable that many women and girls adapt their daily lives in order to avoid being harassed on the street, public transport, and in other public places from the park to the supermarket. This could include taking longer routes to work, having self-imposed curfews or avoiding certain means of transport. My intention would be to make public transport safer for everyone from the train platfo... See More
Vaccines agreed by Robert De Niro, American actor, producer, and directorI take vaccines all the time, and my kids have gotten [vaccinated] but there's something wrong and its got to be fixed
Vaccines agreed by Sanjay Gupta, American neurosurgeon and multiple Emmy®-award winning chief medical correspondent for CNNThat you are 100 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to have a serious allergic reaction to the vaccine that protects you against measles is not a matter of opinion. That is also a matter of fact.
Vaccines agreed by NFID, Non-profit focused on education about infectious diseasesVaccines are safe and effective. Vaccines are among the safest medical products available and can prevent the suffering and costs associated with infectious diseases. The potential risks associated with the diseases that vaccines prevent are much greater than the potential risks from the vaccines themselves.
Vaccines agreed by Dr. Peter J. Hotez, Dean-National School of Tropical Medicine; Texas Children's Center for Vaccine DevelopmentI'm a vaccine scientist. I'm also the father of an adult daughter with autism. Not only is there an abundance of evidence showing that vaccines are safe, there's not even any plausibility of an association [with autism]
Vaccines agreed by David Gorski, Surgical oncologist at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer InstituteThe dose makes the poison. Only then will you understand how toxic the myths about vaccines being peddled by antivaccinationists are.
Vaccines agreed by Seth Mnookin, Director of MIT's Graduate Program in Science WritingRobert Kennedy Jr made his name in the anti-vaccine movement in 2005, when he published a story alleging a massive conspiracy regarding thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative that had been removed from all childhood vaccines except for some variations of the flu vaccine in 2001. In his piece, Kennedy completely ignored an Institute of Medicine immunization safety review on thimerosal published t... See More
Vaccines agreed by Amer Acad Pediatrics, American professional association of pediatriciansClaims that vaccines are linked to autism, or are unsafe when administered according to the recommended schedule, have been disproven by a robust body of medical literature. Delaying vaccines only leaves a child at risk of disease. Vaccines keep communities healthy, and protect some of the most vulnerable in our society, including the elderly, and children who are too young to be vaccinated or hav... See More
Vaccines agreed by The BMJ, Weekly peer-reviewed medical journalA now-retracted British study that linked autism to childhood vaccines was an elaborate fraud that has done long-lasting damage to public health. The study's author, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, misrepresented or altered the medical histories of all 12 of the patients whose cases formed the basis of the 1998 study
Vaccines agreed by UN Foundation, United Nations Foundation supporting the United Nations causesThis year, 1.7 million children will die from diseases that have all but disappeared in the U.S. Why? Because one in five children around the world does not have access to the life-saving immunizations needed to survive.
Vaccines agreed by U.S. Department of Health & Human Services,One of the best ways to protect your children is to make sure they have all of their vaccinations. Immunizations can save your child's life and protects others you care about.
Vaccines agreed by Ellen Clayton, MD, JD, Professor of Pediatrics and Law at Vanderbilt Law SchoolThe MMR vaccine does not cause autism… The MMR and DTaP do not cause Type 1 diabetes. And the killed flu vaccine does not cause Bell's palsy, and it does not trigger episodes of asthma.
Carbon Tax agreed by Katharine Hayhoe, Atmospheric scientist and associate professor of political science at Texas Tech UniversityWe don't have a price on carbon. And because there is no price, we lack the information to make sound decisions.
Crops and foods improved through biotechnology (GMOs) agreed by Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry and president of the Royal SocietyI am very happy eating transgenic maize. Genetically modified foods can make a difference: adapted to drought or more nutrients in a crop such as Golden Rice, in which precursors of vitamin A are introduced and can help prevent childhood blindness.
Carbon Tax agreed by Erik Brynjolfsson, Professor at MITIf we're willing to send half a million fellow citizens into battle, to protect oil supplies and our economic way of life, we should be no less willing to make the small sacrifice of paying more for gasoline. A revenue-neutral plan that reduced Social Security taxes by $1 billion for every penny a gallon of gas tax would leave the working poor and middle class better off than before. In the long t... See More
Carbon Tax agreed by Bob Inglis, Former CongressmanYou then offset that [carbon tax] with a reduction in payroll taxes, dollar for dollar. And that's why I was so flexible. It's a tax swap, that's what I was talking about. It wouldn't grow the government, and it would approximate the attachment of these negative externalities to combustion fossil fuels.
Carbon Tax agreed by Jefferey Sachs, American economistEach region of the world should introduce a tax on CO2 emissions that starts low today and increases gradually and predictably in the future
Universal Basic Income agreed by Richard Branson, Founder of Virgin (400 companies)Policies like these can help people struggling just to survive and allow them to get on their feet, be entrepreneurial and be more creative.
Carbon Tax agreed by Alex Tabarrok,Two hard ideas that the public must accept if we are to move to a cleaner energy future: nuclear power and carbon taxes.
Carbon Tax agreed by Gary Becker,We should seek out the many forms of subsidy that run through the entire energy enterprise and eliminate them. In their place we propose a measure that could go a long way toward leveling the playing field: a revenue-neutral tax on carbon, a major pollutant.
Carbon Tax agreed by Greg Easterbrook, Contributing editor The Atlantic. NYT bestseller The Progress Paradox.The simplest, most efficacious, least bureaucratic, and best-for- the-nation initial move against greenhouse gas buildup w ould be a carbon tax.
Carbon Tax agreed by Ted Gayer, Vice President and Director of the Economic Studies program and Joseph A. Pechman Senior FellowA carbon tax, in which the revenues are used to off set economically harmful taxes or to pay down our deficit, would substantially low er the cost of climate policy compared to a cap-and-trade program that gives away allowances for free.
Carbon Tax agreed by Andrew Samwick, Professor of Economics at Dartmouth College and the director of the Nelson A. Rockefell CenterScrap CAFE, set a higher gas tax, and return the aggregate revenues from that gas tax through lower income taxes in a progressive fashion.

Carbon Tax agreed by Richard N. Cooper, American economist, policy adviser, and academicLevying a charge on CO2 raises the price of CO2-emitting activities,including fossil fuel use, and thus is the most direct method of influencing consumer and industrial behavior on a world-wide scale.
Carbon Tax agreed by Houston Chronicle, The Houston Chronicle is the largest daily newspaper in Houston, TexasFirst, there needs to be a national tax on carbon emissions. This policy has nearly across-the-board support from environmental and business groups, including Exxon, as a way to put a transparent cost on the collective harm of carbon emissions and create a market incentive for cleaner energy sources.
Carbon Tax agreed by James Baker, American attorney and statesmanYou can't look at this as a tax, even though the word 'tax' is used

Decidedly Mature Female Site
Updated Weekly
Price: $2.95 3-day trial, $29.95 month, $68.95 for three months
You can take the granny out of the ghetto, but GrannyGhetto.com clearly illustrates how hard it can be to take the ghetto out of the granny. Boy howdy, yeah.
Although a smattering of these grannies are and clearly always have been hot in a traditional kinda way, the majority of them are good-old-girl-next-door types, which is a large part of their appeal!
These definitely middle-aged and beyond women offer a sometimes gritty but always refreshing alternative to the mass marketed cookie cutter hard body altar of youth vision of sexuality available in the mainstream.
Regardless of whether these elder sluts serve as novelty or sincere objects of desire, their very existence is a celebration of real world sex — which is precisely what the internet was created for.
The amusingly industrial waste site design leads to the usual member-only privileges, including a store and impressive number of White Ghetto granny clips and pix. The truly devoted can search by model name, and network updates are easy to find.
Once site members tire of watching grandma take another face full of cum, they can explore a wide number of network bonus sites including those in praise of Tera Patrick, Rocco Siffredi, Peter North and other glamorous industry properties.

Nissan Certified Pre-Owned Program
If you're in the market for a used car but want something a bit more reliable, why not check out Nissan's Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Program? The vehicles that are available at a discounted price through this program are cars that have been returned to the dealership that are less than six years old and have less than 80,000 miles on the odometer. In addition to these requirements, CPO cars must also pass a rigorous 167-point inspection checklist in order to ensure their quality.
There are many benefits to buying a Nissan CPO vehicle. With Nissan's program, you get a 7-year/100,000-mile limited warranty and a CARFAX Vehicle History Report in order to make sure you're getting a quality vehicle. You also get 24-Hour Emergency Roadside Assistance and Car Rental Reimbursement and Towing Benefits; these two benefits last until your CPO vehicle hits seven years of age or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first. Also, any repairs or updates to the vehicle have been made with genuine Nissan parts from the dealership and manufacturer – no aftermarket parts allowed.
There are additional options for you to choose from, as well. Cars in the Nissan CPO program will come with a free three-month trial of SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and you have the option of adding the available Security+Plus Extended Protection Plan, which can boost your warranty to 8 years/120,000 miles. If you're interested in a car that comes with the more affordable price tag of a used car, but is more reliable and backed up by the dealership, look into Nissan's CPO program.

'Barossa. Be consumed' ad1:41
Take a look at the eerie new TV commercial made to promote the Barossa Valley as Australia's premier food and wine destination.
SOUTH AUSTRALIA should resurrect its past to cash in on the future, according to the state's representative in Europe.
The Agent General in London wants the original German names for 69 towns and regions in SA resurrected in a bid to boost trade and cultural ties with Europe's most wealthy nation.
The names — abandoned during the anti-German hysteria of the Great War a century ago — would reappear on town signs underneath the English names as part of the plan by Agent General Bill Muirhead.
And his initiative has won the support of the Local Government Association (LGA), which represents the councils that would implement such a change.
Members of the state's German community, such as South Australian-German history expert Dr Ian Harmstorf, have longed called for dual signage for our renamed towns.
The towns and regions affected stretch from the far West Coast to the far North and Murray Mallee.
READ MORE: Push to revive German town names
They include Peterborough, which was known as Petersburg, Marree once called Hergott Springs and Birdwood, originally named Blumberg.
Mr Muirhead wrote to the LGA seeking its support for the initiative last month.
The Agent General would also like to see towns establish links with their namesakes in Germany in recognition of "the strong German influence'' in the settlement of South Australia and "also promoting modern culture and business links between south australia and Germany.''
"Germany is a very large and diverse economy, and I believe this exercise could open the doors for South Australia and provide opportunities to leverage off the new, closer relationships formed,'' he said.
At a meeting last week the LGA Board decided to support the proposal "in-principal'' and encourage consultation with the councils affected.
LGA Acting President Mayor Lorraine Rosenberg said there were "councils with a strong German heritage such as The Barossa which will be keen to support the proposal."
Barossa Valley Mayor Brian Hurn is of English descent, but he supports the plan in for the region most famous in the state for its German heritage.
"Already some towns are doing this — such as Rosedale which also has the name Rosenthal,'' Mayor Hurn said.
"I'm in support of the initiative, I would like the council to think about it and I'll be recommending it to the community.''
Tanunda youngster Olive Allert, 8, has German ancestors and studied the German language at the town's Luthern school.
She proudly posed in front of the sign for the adjacent village of Bethany — formerly known as Bethanien — dressed in a traditional dirndl and with a Kitchener bun — once know as a Berliner.
Her mother Nerida thought the dual naming idea was worthwhile.
"Especially at a place like Bethany, which is the Barossa's oldest German settlement,'' she said.
Originally published as German heritage key to 'our future'

"And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship; and to devise curious works..."—Exodus 35:31-32a (KJV)
A Man of His Word by Hesba Stretton.
Christmas Williams was well respected in his town, but he despised the new prayer meetings, psalm-singing and talk of a Savior. When Christmas' daughter, Easter, believed in Jesus as her Savior he threw her out of the house and promised never to talk with her again. She became married and had a son, but he kept his word and did not speak to them. The story continues and Christmas must be a "man of his word." When "keeping his word" becomes hypocritical, pride and reputation are seen for what they are in God's sight.

A Miserable Christmas and a Happy New Year by Hesba Stretton.
Kate was a beautiful daughter who helped comfort her father's patients. When the doctors assistant, Dr. Carey, took an interest in her, he sent a letter of his feelings. Unfortunate events started immediately. Mrs. Duffy was shot and taken to Dr. Carey's Hospital and Kate and Philip barely talked. But the story was not over. Kate was learning that in order to bear her own burden well, it was necessary to share that of another. Another moral principle is the forgiveness of serious sin.

A Night and a Day by Hesba Stretton.
Disaster came to the coal mine one day when it flooded with water. Simeon, Rueben's brother, was trapped along with several other people. Rueben went into the mine to save them, but not all went as planned. This story illustrates the Biblical principle of "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."—John 15:13.
Paperback 4X6, 1 illustration, 108 pages. Amazon.com link; ISBN 9781941281215; Pocket Moral Stories.
A Thorny Path by Hesba Stretton.
A Thorny Path, the title taken from a German hymn, refers to a life that is not always rosy. Chance meetings, charitable deeds and hardships on London's streets combine into a heartwarming story. We follow a life weary Hagar that made a bad decision because of her extreme circumstances, a woman in whom blossomed spiritual renewal, and a person that modeled the love of Christ. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends"-John 15:13.

Alice Gilbert's Confession by Hesba Stretton.
Alice Windsor falls in love with Dr. Gilbert, but Dr. Gilbert confesses that his wife, Joanna, is still alive. Alice's confession is that she is "fighting forbidden love" and is being "wrecked upon that treacherous deep." The agony of sin and the need for God's forgiveness is felt by everyone. Important verses are Luke 18:13—"God be merciful to me a sinner," (NIV) also Hebrews 4:15—"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin." (NIV)

Alone in London by Hesba Stretton.
James Oliver lived alone in London and worked in his newspaper shop. He had an unusually open relationship with Jesus, whom he talked to as a personal friend. One day he found Dolly, a little girl, alone in the shop. Tony, a street boy, had fended for himself and needed a place to sleep at night. These three isolated people came together and formed a family. Tension came between Oliver who wanted to care for the downtrodden, and Aunt Charlotte who wanted to maintain a life of respectability. An important verse is Matthew 25:40: "Inasmuch as ye did it to one of the least of these, ye did it unto me."—Curiosmith (2013).
Paperback 6X9, 102 pages, 4 illustrations. Amazon.com link; ISBN 9781935626732
Bede's Charity by Hesba Stretton.
When Margery Bede stayed at home to care for her father and brother Stephen, she sacrificed all hope of marriage. Her father died, Stephen went off to Australia, and Margery moved to London where she poured her life into raising Cor, a street boy. Broken-hearted Margery gave her life to others but was left alone and unappreciated. The story's theme is maintaining faith and joy in the midst of disappointment. A quote from the book: "I cannot be anything but happy," I said, "because I believe the Lord Christ has given me the right and the power to become one of the daughters of the Lord God almighty; and there never was a father, even a king upon his throne, who cares for his children as my heavenly Father cares for me. Could I be anything else but happy and at peace."

Cobwebs and Cables by Hesba Stretton.
Roland Sefton fled England mysteriously after he stole 10,00 pounds from his own bank. As time progressed the widely varied effects of this wrongdoing included isolation, ruined lives, shame and death. Toward the end of the story only time, circumstances, forgiveness and the grace of God could heal what had occurred. "He could not unravel the warp and woof of his life. The gossamer threads of the webs he had begun to weave about himself so lightly in the heyday of his youth and prosperity and happiness had thickened into cables and petrified; it was impossible to break through the coil of them or find a way out of it."
Paperback 6X9, 304 pages. Amazon.com link; ISBN 9781935626749
Enoch Roden's Training by Hesba Stretton.
Enoch Roden began his apprenticeship in printing with a bad accident, but as the story progresses, his training becomes more spiritual. Mr. Drury, his boss, trusted in God's provision for his business but when business went bad, it led to confession of his faults. Enoch questioned his attitude of despising God's daily gifts, thinking he was in rebellion like the Israelites. Trusting God's providence when it doesn't seem like He is paying attention is a training many go through. An important verse is Psalm 37:7—"Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him."
Paperback 6X9, 146 pages, 4 illustrations. Amazon.com link; ISBN 9781935626756
Fern's Hollow by Hesba Stretton.
The Fern family lived peaceably in their hollow for two generations. Stephen was a hardworking coal miner and cared for his family. When a miserly landowner told them they must move out, he stood upon his vow to his father. Love for his enemies proved difficult to accomplish.

Her Only Son by Hesba Stretton.

This story is allegorical of Christ's sacrifice for salvation.

How Apple-tree Court Was Won by Hesba Stretton.
Apple-tree Court was a rough neighborhood that even the police would not visit. George Lancaster who ran a local mission house considered how he might connect with the people. After several failed attempts he was baffled. When his son offered to help, he reluctantly let him try. The story shows the value of sacrificial love, a parallel to Christ's sacrifice. Another Biblical principal is forgiving others; Colossians 3:13—Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you (NIV). Also Romans 8:32—He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? (NIV);

Victoria was fresh from a last minute wedding when her husband died during a sea voyage. She had nowhere to go but to finish the journey to his home.

The story is about not being angry with providence but only "decide upon what is right, and leave the rest to God!"

Jessica's Mother by Hesba Stretton.
In this sequel to "Jessica's First Prayer," Jessica, Daniel and the minister were at the church when a tragedy occurred. Daniel went home and discovered Jessica's mother crouching on his doorsill.

The Biblical morals illustrated are "religious hypocrisy," and "forgiveness."

Published soon after Jessica's First Prayer, this story became very popular as well. This edition has 13 illustrations. Important Scripture: "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask Him!"—Matthew 7:11.
Paperback, 112 pages, 13 illustrations. Amazon.com link; ISBN 9781935626107
Lost Gip by Hesba Stretton.
One stormy night Gip was missing. "Gip" is short for Gipsy because she had dark black eyes and black hair. Sandy continued to search for Gip and made good friends with John and Mrs. Shafto, who became his spiritual mentors. Mr. Shafto, a Scrooge-like character, badly needed a change of heart and is helped by Sandy. A street preacher spoke of Christ seeking those that are lost, which becomes the theme of the story, with John 19:10: "The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. "
Paperback 6X9, 114 pages, 6 illustrations. Amazon.com link; ISBN 9781935626688
Max Krömer: A Story of the Siege of Strasbourg by Hesba Stretton.
Max Krömer, a fourteen year old boy, relates the horrors of the Siege of Strasbourg in this work of historical fiction. The actual siege, during the 1870 Franco-Prussian War, consisted of surrounding the city and then bombing and starving the inhabitants, until they surrendered. In this story, Max and his sister Sylvie, went to their grandmother's house in Strasbourg while their father traveled. It was quite unknown to them they would have to endure six weeks of "the dreadful noise of the war." They looked to God for answers. An important verse is John 14:18—I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you."

The Obama administration is again allowing the CIA to use drone strikes to secretly kill people that the spy agency does not know the identities of in multiple countries – despite repeated statements to the contrary.
That's what we learned this week, when Nasir al-Wuhayshi, an alleged leader of al-Qaida, died in a strike in Yemen. While this time the CIA seems to have guessed right, apparently the drone operators didn't even know at the time who they were aiming at – only that they thought the target was possibly a terrorist hideout. It's what's known as a "signature" strike, where the CIA is not clear who its drone strikes are killing, only that the targets seem like they are terrorists from the sky.
Signature strikes has led to scores of civilians being killed over the past decade, including two completely innocent hostages less than two months ago. It's a way of killing that's been roundly condemned by human rights organizations and that some members of Congress have tried to outlaw. The incredible dangers behind such a policy are obvious. Here's how the New York Times described it when the White House's 'kill list' was first revealed in 2012:
The joke was that when the CIA sees "three guys doing jumping jacks," the agency thinks it is a terrorist training camp, said one senior official. Men loading a truck with fertilizer could be bombmakers – but they might also be farmers, skeptics argued.

i agree, the disease is not a help... Plus who feels in the mood when you are worried you need to use the bathroom or might accidentally fart, (my ultimate fear)
I also think some meds might have libido effects but not listed as a side effect. Just think about it most people are not honest on this subject so why would the test subjects for the medicines be honest? they may not even realize the drug is causing them less libido and then it might not make the drug's side effects list. just my opinion...

If this is true, I think that my wife must have been taking my 6-mp. j/k Actually, from another male perspective, I found out that many of these drugs can deplete our body of so many vitamins and chemicals. When I first started seeing a Rheumatologist, she did all the blood work tests and bone scans to see if I was deficient of anything. I was shocked when the tests came back that I had osteoprosis and very low testosterone. She asked if I had experienced any libido problems or intimate problems(trying to keep this G rated) and I had not. I left her office that day with a ton of prescriptions for vitamin D, calcium, testosterone injections, and of course my hurt man pride. To my surprise, when I asked my wife if I had been less bothersome to her lately(still keeping G rated) she said that she had thought that I was less interested in her and had really been wondering what she could do to change that. I had not even noticed what had been happening, because I was so caught up with this dumb disease. After the injections started, I began to notice what I had lost. Of course this is coming from a guy, but I am sure that this probably messes with a women and her chemical levels. The steroids alone, wreak havoc on both our bones and deplete us of so many things over time.
My rheumy, told me that my long term use of Remicade, 6-mp, and methotrexate were probably the main contributing factors. I have even noticed that since I have started back on the testosterone injections, my body is finally started to gain some muscle mass back again. My tests results had come back with the testosterone level of a 60 year old man and I am only 28. Have you ever been on Remicade? I was on it for nearly 4 years, receiving a 10 dose every 4 weeks along with 6-mp and eventually methotrexate. All of these test results started coming back low, when I started building antibodies toward the remicade and elevated liver enzymes from the other 2 medications. I am not a doctor, but I really feel like maybe this had something to do with it.

How Hulk Hogan Is Able to Appear In WWE 2K14, Referee Speaks Out After RAW, Bray WyattFollow us on Social Media
Follow @iamdesirulez
Tweet #iamdesirulez
- Bray Wyatt tweeted after last night's RAW segment with Kane:
"Sunday, fire in the City of Angels. Burn, Burn, Burn #TheAshesOurNewHome #RAW"
- WWE referee Marc Harris, the referee involved in the botched finish with AJ Lee vs. Natalya on last night's RAW, lashed out at his "haters" on Facebook after the show:
"Funny how "amateur", "indie", and "unemployed former refs" think they know it all but have NO IDEA. There's a reason your where your at and I'm where I'm at, "a professional referee with the number one entertainment company in the world. I'm the now, your yester year. Keep your opinions to yourself cause I'm definitely not taking advice from someone with less experience and not at a level I am, so continue to hate and I'll continue to work tv's and pay per view. Enjoy your life cause I'm loving mine!"
- Hulk Hogan being featured in WWE's 2K14 video game already has fans speculating that The Hulkster may be returning once he's done with TNA. For those wondering, Hogan's deal for the video game is with Take-Two, not WWE. Hogan had a similar deal with THQ when he appeared in the All Stars and Legends of WrestleMania games. Hogan's deal with TNA allows him to have outside marketing and licensing deals. As noted, Hogan's red & yellow character plus his Hollywood Hogan character will be available in 2K14.

Early Spring Advice
Well, winter is finally here… or is it? Seems like the weather can't really make up it's mind these days. All-in-all it has been a pretty mild winter, we haven't even had a real ground freeze yet, and it's near the end of January. Then, last week we got a quick reminder that is still is winter – an ice storm paired with freezing daytime temps was a bit of a reality check. And, now it seems to be warming up again.
All this unpredictable weather normally won't fool trees and shrubs in the landscape, they are used to fluctuations in temperature… to a certain degree. However, some of our early spring favorites might get coaxed out of dormancy a little too early with these warm temps, leaving them susceptible to damage from frosts that are surely still to come. If you notice plants in your garden that are starting to grow in February, don't panic. There are things you can do to help protect them.
For young trees and shrubs, pay attention to the moisture level in the soil – as the plants start to grow their need for water might increase. Making sure your young trees and shrubs are properly watered can help prevent damage to new roots in the event of a deep freeze. As always, take care not to overwater. Also, having a good layer of mulch helps protect the root zone from temperature extremes, and helps moderate soil moisture.
Tender new growth that occurs after the buds open up is also especially sensitive to freezes. Light frosts are probably ok, but if lower temps are expected you might consider putting a protective row cover over the plant. If the size and location of the plant permit such an action, you can simply drape the "floating row cover" over the plant that needs protection. (Don't forget to take it off the during the day if the temperature is above freezing.) A row cover is a lightweight, woven fabric used by farmers to protect crops from freezes, and extend the growing season. They are widely available, but most lightweight fabrics can be used in a pinch – sheets, thin blankets, etc. Take your time, so as not to damage the new growth while putting up, and taking down, the row cover.
One more thing to consider is the timing of fertilizer applications. Make sure not to fertilize anything until all danger of frost is gone. As soon as the plants start to grow you may be tempted to give them some food, but fertilizing too early can set them up for trouble down the line. A dose of fertilizer will encourage a flush of new growth, and if a hard freeze comes along, the damage could be severe. After the last frost in your area it is safe to go ahead and feed.
Finally, it's important not to worry too much. Remember, in the end your plants will probably be alright. Trees and shrubs are extremely adaptable, and as long as their basic cultural requirements are met, they should be able to withstand the rigors of our environment.

General Question
What does Mama bird do if one of her chicks dies?
Asked by dxs (14503) June 10th, 2014
A few days ago I found a baby bird on the ground. I didn't think the bird had made it with the big fall he took. He fell about ten feet down but was also a few feet away from the nest. I didn't want to leave the little guy there so I picked him up and put him back in the nest. Now, a few days later, I see some chicks stirring in the nest. I hoped one of them was the chick I saved but I couldn't tell.

Original paper
Comparative bark anatomy of Bursaria, Hymenosporum and Pittosporum (Pittosporaceae)
Nilova, Maya; Oskolski, Alexei A.
Plant Diversity and Evolution Volume 128 No. 3-4 (2010), p. 491 - 500
published: Sep 1, 2010
ArtNo. ESP145012873009, Price: 29.00 €
Bark anatomy in 3 species of Bursaria, 9 species of Pittosporum, and in the single species of monotypic genus Hymenosporum (Pittosporaceae) was examined. The members of these three genera resemble Araliaceae, Myodocarpaceae and Apiaceae in the occurrence of axial secretory canals in cortex and secondary phloem, the pattern of alternating zones in secondary phloem, and the absence of fibres in this tissue. We therefore confirm a relationship between Pittosporaceae and other Apiales (van Tieghem 1884, Dahlgren 1989, Takhtajan 1997, Plunkett et al. 1996, 2004) rather than its traditional placement into Rosales (Cronquist 1981). Hymenosporum differs markedly from Bursaria and Pittosporum in the presence of primary phloem fibres, in the cortical (vs subepidermal) initiation of the periderm and in the occurrence of numerous (more than 25) sieve areas on compound sieve plates. These features confirm the isolated position of Hymenosporum within Pittosporaceae, as suggested both by traditional taxonomy and gross morphology (Cayzer et al. 2000) and by molecular phylogenetics (Chandler et al. 2007).

After 36 years of blazing their way through the music industry, Asleep at the Wheel have taken their show to a new kind of stage: theater.
Before Elvis,
Before Hank,
Before Wille,
A fiddler from West Texas,
named Bob Wills, was The King
A Ride With Bob is an original musical drama that relives the story of Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, starring nine-time Grammy winners Ray Benson, Asleep at the Wheel, and an all-star cast of actors, dancers and musicians.
Those who experienced Wills perform have never forgotten him. For decades on radio, in dance halls and on the silver screen, he was the most popular entertainer in the American southwest. Although he passed away in 1975, his legendary music keeps growing, and is today accepted as a defining cultural achievement of this region.
The two-act play includes performances of Wills most famous songs, including "San Antonio Rose," "Faded Love," "Cherokee Maiden," "Take Me Back to Tulsa," and many more!
"The most entertaining night in Texas"
- Liz Smith, New York Post
"…as raucous, spirited and joyous as the music that inspired it"
– John Wooley, Tulsa World
"…Bob Wills is the undiscovered icon of 20th century American music. A Ride with Bob is his story." - Ray Benson
Ray's one regret is that he never got a chance to talk to Bob before he died. In this new musical drama Benson finally gets to have his conversation with the ghost of Bob Wills and set the record straight.
A Ride With Bob began in the spring of 2005 with six sold out shows at the State Theater in Austin, TX. After an overwhelming success, including several theatrical nominations from Austin Circle of Theaters, the play began to branch out over Texas and Oklahoma. 2006 brings a year full of opportunity as the play has gone nationwide with several dates confirmed and more on the way. The play continues to be refined and reflects Ray's drive for perfection.
Over the course of the last 36 years Benson and the Wheel have boldly defied the fickle lures of the mainstream -- and thrived -- by sticking to their noble cause of keeping that distinctly American of art forms, western swing, alive and kicking. Along the way, they've entertained thousands and won praise and admiration from everyone from Willie Nelson to Bob Dylan, George Strait to Van Morrison.
Theater isn't the only new adventure the band has taken recently. After three plus decades in the music industry Asleep at the Wheel began playing their dance music with pops orchestras to an overwhelming response in Fort Worth, Dallas and Austin. After numerous packed houses the Wheel is eager to do it again.
Asleep at the Wheel is not just your typical dance band, they're an institution: an ever-shifting lineup (over 80 members to date) of like-minded musicians united under Benson's crusade to carry the torch of big band Western Swing music into the 21st Century. If you want to hear what Texas sounds like, all you need to do is pop in an Asleep at the Wheel CD.
For Ray Benson, the will to play the guitar began in Philadelphia, PA -- far, far away from the city of Austin, Texas, which the Wheel has proudly called home for the last thirty-three years. "I was born in 1951, and big band music was still very much around, and in my community it was still very much the thing," Benson explains. "I played bass in my school stage band in tenth grade, and my musical director introduced us to Count Bassie. My friend Lucky Ocean's parents were sort of like beatniks, and his dad gave us some Lester Young records when we were still in high school. But I just happened to be a weird kind of guy: I was also into folk music, Chicago blues and country. My goal was to be more different than anybody, and that's what Asleep at the Wheel was all about: doing roots music that was different and eclectic."
"I've been told that I'm relentless, so I guess I am," he says. "Every time that I figured I was going to quit, we'd have a wonderful, incredible show where the people were so appreciative that we were doing this music that it's like, 'Well, hell -- this beats working, so why not keep doing it?' Honestly, I would like to see this go on forever. If I'm not here, I think there are some capable hands being developed right now. Western swing ain't going away."
The band's biggest success was in 1999 when their critically acclaimed album Ride with Bob struck gold on the charts and at the Grammys. But Ray felt that there was something missing with his music, "After the Ride With Bob album was done and it was doing real well, I was sitting in my office reading the sales reports on Asleep at the Wheel that the record company had sent me," says Benson. "And I looked at all the 'Best Of' Asleep at the Wheel albums, of which there are many, and none of them contained all of the songs that are our top requested songs night after night on the road. Every night the fans ask for certain songs, and there's not a package out there representing what our fans want. So that's what we set out to do."
The result is The Very Best of Asleep at the Wheel, the very first album to round up every single one of the legendary Western swing band's most requested songs after thirty-six years of rolling on the road. "It's not ballad heavy," states the 6'7" bandleader and guitar slinger with a deep laugh. "We're a dance band. That's what we're about. And that's plenty."
"This is improvisational music, which I think is the whole ball of wax, because that's where the rubber really meets the road -- and it's why we play it," says Benson. "I think it's interesting to listen to updated versions of what people do, hearing how they have evolved. People change, and I love to have the luxury of having a career this long to do it. Part of the impetus was touring with Bob Dylan a couple of years ago. Every night, Dylan would do those songs a little differently, and it made it very exciting to see where they were going to go each night."
Their importance in today's music cannot be understated as they have continued to carry the torch of western swing and pack venues across the globe.

For kings and country: King Billy and King James get ready to do battle at the Sham Fight at Scarva
Once again King Billy and King James will do battle today at Scarva, with few expecting a surprise outcome. John Adair and Brian Johnston, who play the rival monarchs, tell Una Brankin what it takes to act out their royal roles and how the Sham Fight is proving a huge draw to tourists.
It has a very predictable result but the Royal Black Preceptory's Sham Fight at Scarva continues to attract up to 100,000 every year, mostly families having a fun day out.
And among the 4,000 members of the Royal Black Institution on parade today are John Adair and Brian Johnston, both members of the local RBP 1000 - and both home-bred superstars for the day.
The pair take a jovial approach to their re-enactment of the Battle of the Boyne, as the troops of King Billy - played by John - trounce those of King James, played by Brian, at the scenic Scarva House demesne.
While Brian's a newcomer to his role, John has made a handsome King Billy for two decades, and has no plans to retire just yet. A part-time sheep farmer, he lives in Clare, near Tandragee, with his wife Elizabeth, who helps him organise the trade stands and stalls at the colourful event.
'We've never made it political, that's why we get 100,000 every year'
John says:
I didn't need sword-fighting lessons to play King William - it all came naturally! They're real swords but fairly lightweight. I always win the fight, but I try not to be too hard on King James. There's been nobody hurt so far - they're always able to walk away in one piece.
We got our wigs made specially in 1990 - I still have my own hair under my one. I do feel I'm getting too old for this sort of carry-on, but I'll still do it another while. I was a foot soldier at the fight when I was younger. I got promoted to King William in 1995 and it's got bigger and bigger every year.
We've never had provocative flags flying, like those on that Carrickfergus bonfire, and there's never any tension. It really is a family day out and anybody can come. We've had councillors from Louth and Ballyjamesduff and they really enjoyed it. We've never made it political. I think that's why we can get between 80,000 and 100,000 coming every year.
We don't ban alcohol and we can't stop anyone from taking it in, but we've never had any problems with drunkenness. There's up to 30 of us in the RBP involved in organising the day, so it's very well-run.
It's an early start for me. I get down to the field for about 5.30am or 6am to check everything's in place. We're having RBP and Ulster Scots display marquees for the first time this year, plus Ulster Scots groups are performing from 9.45am-11.30am. We've also got a big screen in the village so everybody can see the action. People get up early and line their deckchairs along the route to watch the parade.
I've met people who have flown in from abroad for one reason only, to see the Sham Fight. And I've run into others afterwards who have been very disappointed to miss it. Most of them know a bit about the history and culture.
The day is great for local business and hotels, and it's good fun for us taking part, with all the pageantry. I've got soaked many a time but haven't been struck by lightning yet. We have had one or two badly behaved horses over the years and the odd problem with flags dropping off, but no major mishaps.
We'd like to take the event to an even more professional level in the next few years, with the help of the tourist board. I'd like to see world leaders invited - Bill and Hillary Clinton would be great as guests. I'll have to get a number for the White House.
I don't do any other acting, though. I don't think I'd make it in Hollywood! It's a tiring enough day - you're ready for your bed when you get home."
'We're kind of treated like stars on the day'
Brian Johnston (50) took over as King James for the Sham Fight last year. An experienced horseman, he works at Scarvagh House Stud and lives in Scarva with his partner Hylda Mills, daughter of the late Alfred Buller of Scarvagh House. Brian says:
I was the assistant for years to the old King James, Colin Cairns, so I knew all the moves off by heart when I was promoted last year. We've done the fight in all weathers - there was one year the rain fell so hard, the water was running out of us and the green dye from my coat seeped into my skin. I had to give myself a good scrub to get it out.
We're kind of treated like stars on the day. Everybody knows us and we have to pose for plenty of photos. There have been a few who get a bit carried away with the sight of the green uniform and you get a bit of stick, but there's never any bother. It's a totally different day out to the Twelfth - it's very laid-back and everybody from the wider community is welcome.
There's no tension or hostility, and kids - as long as they know where the car's parked - can run off and do what they like, without coming to any harm. It's a very well run event and there are plenty of stewards on hand.
We've been getting more tourists over the years - Chinese, Americans, from all over. We all really enjoy the day; it's good craic. Of course, I never win the fight, but I don't get hurt, even though we use real swords.
I've had no real disasters over the years, but if there's a cranky horse, I'll get him. I'm used to working with thoroughbreds at the stud, but we couldn't use them in the field. We hire four ordinary ones for the day for about £300, from Lime Park Riding School, in Magheralin.
They're only used for half an hour but by the time you lift them and leave them back, it takes the whole day. We take them down for a hack to let them see the whole thing before it starts.
It's a bit of a family affair for us. Scarvagh House is my partner Hylda's home place and I've worked for her brother for years. It's great to see the crowds getting bigger every year as well as having the backing of the Tourist Board. And everybody's welcome, no matter who they are or where they're from."
Clash of tradition and spectacle
- At one time Ireland boasted half a dozen Sham Fights. One of the most famous was in the west Cork town of Bandon, once a Protestant stronghold, and as far back as 1825, local newspapers reported on fights that were part of Orange celebrations in Altnaveigh, Poyntzpass, Newtownhamilton, Tandragee, Portadown and Markethill.
- Scarva alone has kept up the tradition - only war-time brought the celebrations to a temporary standstill, and even between the years of 1940 and 1944 a handful of locals in the Royal Black Institution walked the processional route.
- The lively event is now established as one of the major events on the Northern Ireland cultural and tourism calendar.
- The annual clash between King William and King James and the procession through the village attracts between 80,000 and 100,000 people.
- This year funding has been secured from the Department of Trade and Enterprise/Tourism Northern Ireland, the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Council, and the Ulster Scots Agency.
- The extra funding this year will be used to provide more stewards, who will help manage the massive crowds attending.
- Video screens and other stage equipment will be provided for people to enjoy the day and a special marquee will be set up to allow visitors to understand the history of the Royal Black Institution and the Sham Fight.
- The Chairman of The Royal 13th, and WM of RBP 1000, Sandy Heak, says: "We have been working very hard over the past few years to develop the Sham Fight. This year we have been able to secure extra funding and that will definitely make our job easier. Our aim is to make the Sham Fight a 'must see' event and to ensure that everyone who takes part or comes along as a spectator enjoys their day. The support of these bodies will help develop the professionalism of the event and raise it to a new level."
- The procession leaves the assembly field on the Gilford Road at 11.30am this morning. More than 90 preceptories of the Royal Black Institution will take part in the procession, joined by a wide range of bands to suit all tastes. Tens of thousands of people will line the one mile route to the Demesne at the Loughbrickland end of the village. Tandragee District will lead the procession.
- Earlier in the day, at 9.45am, members of Scarva Royal Black Preceptory will lay a wreath at the village memorial for local members of the security forces murdered in the Troubles
- A religious service, conducted by Rev John Batchelor, County Grand Chaplain of Armagh, will be held at 2pm.
- Following the service, the principal speaker at a public meeting will be the Sovereign Grand Master, Millar Farr.

Synopsis for "Conan Magus!"Edit
Conan ponders the mysterious images he saw in the mirror-creature of an elderly man where the reflection of Sergianus should have been. When he voices his suspicions to Shubal, the bodyguard realizes the image looked like Baron Sabininus of Koth. Their speculation is cut short by the arrival of Lord Arkhaurus, who approves of how Sergianus has helped the queen through difficult times (the death of her cursed daughter and her husband). Arkhaurus does, however, give permission for the pair to find out if Sergianus is truly a duke, as the land he claims to come from is only a barony. As the evil Sabininus/Sergianus continues to seduce the queen, Conan and Shubal seek a Nemedian, Nebino, who might have the information they seek. They find him, dead, and fight the two assassins who killed him. Someone doesn't want Conan digging too deeply. Conan takes a local serving girl, Mishi, back to Lady Khashtris to become a servant and things quiet down for several days as Conan stands watch over the princess Taramis. One evening, however, he is drugged by Mishi, as the treacherous woman and her accomplice try to kidnap the princess. Shubal arrives in time to prevent the accomplice from slaying Conan, and when Conan chases the girl he instead finds her stabbed and dying body. She claims that Arkhaurus is behind the plot, but when Conan and Shubal bring their information to Khashtris she doesn't believe them, though she will go to the queen in their name. The Queen refuses to believe the story also, so the two have no choice but to go to Governor Acrallidus with their suspicions. The only thing that tips the governor to their way of thinking is that Sergianus might be a hated Koth in disguise, so he gives permission for Conan to trip Sergianus up. At a state dinner, Conan disguises himself as an elderly seer and, using the Eye of Erlik, begins to tell secrets of those assembled. When he hints that Arkhaurus killed Mishi and that Sergianus is in fact Sabininus of Koth, they attack. Conan rips off his disguise and slays Sergianus, whose corpse immediately ages to its proper state. As Conan boasts of his figuring out the plot, a mystic circle appears around the body and demon rises behind the barbarian.. Conan hightails out of the circle as the demon consumes the body of Sabininus.The queen, so distraught at the death of the one she lives, even though he was an evil monster who intended to kill her, commits suicide. Taramis is named queen, and though all want him to stay, Conan decides to leave the city.

Peter Andersen, 43, of Watkinsville died near midnight Friday when his Ford F-150 crossed the center line on Barnett Shoals Road and hit a Saturn driven by Matthew Patrick, 25, also of Watkinsville, according to the Athens post of the Georgia State Patrol.
Andersen owned the Greensboro Highway restaurant Le Maison Bleu, which he opened in 2001 after retiring from the U.S. Navy. He was an officer at the Navy Supply Corps School in Athens for 11 years. Andersen also helped lead a failed effort to allow Oconee County restaurants to sell liquor by the drink. The measure was voted down by a 10-point margin in a 2002 referendum.
Patrick and a passenger, Jordan Byce, 24, of Watkinsville were injured and taken to Athens Regional Medical Center for treatment. Andersen was declared dead on the scene.
GSP troopers are testing blood from both drivers for drugs or alcohol, but said they don't believe either was a factor in the wreck.

Generally I prefer to think of myself as casual, leaning towards business casual depending on the situation. TeeFury shirts make up a large chunk of my wardrobe, along with jeans and plain longsleeve shirts that are great for layering since Spring hasn't really gotten here yet. (I will note, however, that it's been above freezing and raining the last 24 hours, so at least the snow is melting!) While I don't really give a damn about what other people think about how I look, I do *try* at least to look put together when I leave the house; matching accessories to my outfit, clothes that look and feel nice, hair done (which amounts to brushed and up, bangs done), teeth brushed and maybe some coloured lip gloss.
The one place I find where I fall decidedly from casual to frumpy is the pajama department. Most of my pjs are just old t-shirts of Ryan's, with the recent addition of two pajama sets that are painfully frumpy. One set is, I kid you not, zebra striped with bright pink buttons down the front, and the other is all pink fleece with heart patterened pants. They're super comfy and perfect for kicking around the house, but they cross the line, even for me.
There's something about the word frumpy that I hate, and when it's applied to what I'm wearing, it makes me feel like I need to try harder. Frumpy is old, ugly, unkempt, unacceptable.
That anyone would say I look frumpy (I'm looking at you, husband!) makes me want to go on a shopping spree. I would love to have nice kicking around the house after a long day clothes, things that match but aren't made of flannel or have cute animals on them.
What is the frumpiest thing you own, if anything? Do you love it or hate it?
