Security forces in Afghanistan say more than 45 militants have been killed in several recent assaults around the country.
The U.S.-led coalition says it killed an insurgent commander and about 16 other militants in a "precision air strike" in the western province of Ghor Tuesday. Military officials Wednesday said commander Mullah Mustafa was killed after he stopped in a remote area to meet with other militants.
Officials say Mustafa commanded 100 fighters and reportedly had links to both the Taliban and the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
Meanwhile, a police chief says security forces have killed 30 Taliban militants over the past three days in an offensive in the southern province of Uruzgan. The police chief says two police officers were killed during the operation.
In southern Ghazni province, authorities say Taliban militants killed two police officers Wednesday. Elsewhere in Ghazni, police say at least one Afghan soldier was killed in a roadside bombing.
In violence Tuesday, officials in eastern Afghanistan say two people were killed and 50 wounded when a grenade exploded in a crowd of civilians that had gathered around a disabled U.S. military vehicle.
The U.S. military says the attack occurred in Kunar province as soldiers were attempting to free their vehicle, which had gotten stuck on a road.
Meanwhile, international security forces say they have destroyed a Taliban drug lab in the southern province of Helmand. Authorities say militants have used illegal drugs to bankroll their operations.

I've had dietitians inform me dozens (maybe even hundreds) of times that white rice is nothing more than empty calories–that is to say, devoid of any real nutritional value–and should be eaten sparingly, if at all.
You know what? I eat it anyway, at least twice a week, and I don't stress out about it. It's delicious (particularly the way my husband makes it, Puerto Rican style: medium-grain, fairly sticky, cooked with some olive or canola oil and a decent amount of salt), and it makes meals so much easier.
This isn't to say that I eat a ton of rice at a time; I consider it a side dish, and pair it with healthy foods, like black beans and lean beef or vegetable stir-fry and edamame. But in my opinion, life's too short to not have at least one less-than-perfect food that you consume without guilt–diet rules be damned. What's yours?

What are customers saying about Shepherd's Harvest products?
I can't even stand how amazing these products are!! The deodorant keeps me smelling fresh and clean ALL day (keep in mind, I am 7 months pregnant and it has been currently 80+ degree weather at the end of June)! The cinnamon & clove spray makes my living room smell like a delicious holiday pie, the cedar soap is gentle and smells amazing as well..! I have been 110% satisfied with every product I have purchased so far. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Charlotte, NC
LOVE my assortment! Everyone in the family has a different favorite. Mine is green tea cucumber and oatmeal sleepytime. I really like the rosemary shampoo bar too. I was skeptical at first, but I really like it. As Sandy says, if we're going to eat healthy, why not treat our skin healthy too? Really great products!
East Greenwich, RI
I have used the Fresh Hugs all natural creme deoderant and I love it! It smells amazing and really lasts. I am a Muay Thai kickboxer and I also run, so I NEED a long-lasting deoderant that smells great. Fresh Hugs all natural creme deoderant (sic) fits the bill!
Groton, CT
I cheated on Shepherd's Harvest and bought some yummy scented liquid soap in a bottle from a local dept store. My hands have been so dry lately and BURN and turn red when I apply my lotions. All these products ARE NOT organic and common names we all know. Well I picked up my order from Sandy yesterday and started using her soap right away and her lotion (bar form), and there was NO burning. The lotion absorbed into my skin rather than just sit between my dry scales (haha!) and my hands have STAYED soft since. I am SO HAPPY with these products and I will be better about avoiding store bought, cheap, chemical laden soaps and lotions.
Not sure if I'd like homemade laundry soap, I bought pre-measured, pre-grated ingredients from SH. Love how it cleans. Helps w/deodorant stiffness on armpits which is common in front loaders. I no longer sneeze when doing laundry yet clothes smell clean. Very happy so bought more. Why mess with a good thing?

News From Lake Woe-Be-Gone: the Meeting of the GA of the PCUSA
Jul 26, 2010 | Comments 0
Garrison Keillor, of A Prairie Home Companion fame, is from Minnesota and is well known for his stories about his fictitious hometown of Lake Wobegon. As hilarious as his stories are, his stories about the descendants of the Norwegian immigrants who settled that the part of Minnesota that he comes from generally reflect the tendencies of Scandinavians for depression or woefulness. From this, Keillor seems to have come up with the name of Lake Wobegon for his woe-be-gone characters.
The news from the General Assembly (GA) of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America (PC(USA)) is also woe-be-gone, that is, woeful. It is the opinion of the Editor that any resemblance that now exists between the PC(USA) and historic Christianity is only vestigial or accidental. Indeed, the PC(USA) is now a denomination of woe.
Consider the following action by the GA:
The Opening Service: A Worship Service Of Presbyterian Paganism:
A friend of the Editor described the opening service of the GA of the PC(USA) as "goofy." There were bagpipers and there were middle age people not too gracefully dancing and twirling around with banners and there were people beating drums and there were native Americans wearing traditional dress and there were people dressed in the costumes of skunks and woodchucks and beavers and other forest creatures and, then, there was the members of the GA calling to the four corners of the earth for the presence of the spirits. It was almost as amusing as the Main Street parade at Disney World.
However, "goofy" is not the correct word to describe this woe-be-gone meeting of the GA of the PC(USA). "Goofy" dignifies the activities of the GA too much. The correct word for this meeting of the GA of the PC(USA) is syncretism.
The dictionary defines syncretism as "reconciliation or fusion of differing systems of belief." Yes, that is what the meeting of the GA was. It was the admixture of elements of Christianity and other religions that equals a new form of Presbyterian paganism. This was even the acknowledged intention of the leaders of the GA: A FORM OF PRESBYTERIANISM THAT IS AFFIRMING OF EVERYONE'S RELGIOUS IDEAS AND CONCEPTUALIZATION OF GOD. Interesting, the leadership of the new Presbyterian paganism desires to reach out to young people with a form of evangelism that knows nothing of conversion to Christ. How much more woe-be-gone from historic Christianity can a denomination go without becoming a cult?
The GA adopted a motion that immediately extends the health and pension benefits of unordained employees to the partners of same-sex unions:
At this point, it does not matter one way or the other what members of the PC(USA) say about same-sex marriages or the ordination of active homosexual and lesbian ministers. Institutionally, the Rubicon has been crossed in this action of the GA.
Reports from the Task Force on Civil Unions and Christian Marriage were passed and sent to the Presbyteries for further study:
At this point, the GA seems to have lost its nerve. Hundreds of congregations and thousands of congregants have been lost over the homosexual and lesbian issues. So the watchword is: STUDY. Study what? Are the Biblical prohibitions against homosexuality and lesbianism going to change? So, study what? No, it is not an issue of study. "Study" is a political ploy to buy time in order to get a larger majority to advance the agenda of Presbyterian paganism.
A motion was passed and sent to the Presbyteries that strikes and replaces the present fidelity and chastity standard that forbids the ordination of practicing homosexuals and lesbians:
For years, the liberal majority and the homosexual and lesbian lobby have been attempting to destroy the fidelity and chastity standard regarding ordination. They have done it now! The only thing that has hindered the passage of legislation that permits the ordination of practicing homosexuals and lesbians was the constitutional provision for a super-majority of two-thirds of the Presbyteries for ratification. All that is needed now for the change is a simple majority. Indeed, the PC(USA) is woe-be-gone into a Canaanite fertility cult of nastiness.
A motion was passed on Israel and the Palestinians that was not as anti-Israel as it could have been:
Has anyone noticed that when the members of the GA of the PC(USA) discuss Israel that their rhetoric often sounds like the rhetoric of Nazis in Germany in the late 1920s? How could such a situation exist for such a cultured and broadminded and liberal and enlightened people?
A motion passed and sent to the Presbyteries that, if ratified by a two-thirds majority, would add to the Book of Confessions the Belhar Confession of the South Africa:
Why not add this confession? When a denomination has a smorgasbord of confessions, not one of them has any weight or authority. When the PC(USA) adopted its "book of confessions" approach back in 1967, the intention rather clearly was to relativize the authority of any individual document. Well, we can see where that has led. Now the PC(USA) might as well add the Book of Mormon and the Koran and the Bhagavad Gita and every other statement of religious belief that can be found to their Book of Confessions for all the difference it will make. When all doctrines are affirmed, then nothing is believed. The only thing that can be clearly said is that historic Christianity has been jettisoned for a form of Presbyterian paganism and that the PC(USA) is in the land of woe-be-gone.
And God Sent a Prophet To Warn Them!
One of the mournful refrains in the Old Testament is that time-and-time-again God sent prophets to the people of Israel and Judah to warn them of their apostasy and impending judgment. Amazingly, the woe-be-gone Minneapolis meeting of the GA of the PC(USA) was blessed with a warning prophet.
The prophet was Archpriest Siarhei Hardun of the Orthodox Church in Belarus.
Father Hardun, in bringing ecumenical greeting to the GA, first, thanked the PC(USA) for financial aid in dealing with social problems in Belarus, such as, homeless people, mentally retarded people, and orphans. Then came the warning words of the prophet!
Fr. Hardun said: "I represent here the Orthodox Church of Christ – the church that has an unbroken, unchanged, and unreformed tradition. And our theology has never been changed or reformed for almost 2000 years." Then he said: "Christian morality is as old as Christianity itself. It doesn't need to be invented now. Those attempts to invent new morality look to me like attempts to invent a new religion – a sort of modern paganism." Then he followed with these words: "When people say that they are led and guided by the Holy Spirit to do it, I wonder if it is the same Spirit that inspired the Bible, if it is the same Holy Spirit that inspired the Holy Orthodox Church not to change any doctrinal or moral standards. Is it really the same Spirit? Or perhaps there are different spirits acting in different denominations and inspiring them to develop in different directions and create different theologies and different morals." Fr. Hardun concluded with these words: "My desire is that all Christians should contend earnestly for the faith, which was once for all delivered to the saints, as St. Jude calls us to do. And my advice as an ecumenical delegate is the following: 'Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind.' Yes, the words of St. Paul."
If you have not heard and seen Fr. Hardun, I encourage you to READ THIS ARTICLE.
Unfortunately, Fr. Hardun's words fell on ears that will not hear. However, on the Day of Judgment, the members of the woe-be-gone GA of 2010 will not be able to say that there was no prophet among them.
These are my thoughts,
Charles W. Wilson

Louise Hogan: Vuvuzelas banned as age-old customs make comeback
THOSE pesky vuvuzelas were just not quite in keeping with the occasion. Hunting horns may have been given the green light, but the foghorn-esque noise redolent of lazy hazy summer evenings spent in front of the box was swiftly dealt a red card.
For the Failte Ireland Dublin Horse Show has been built firmly on decades of tradition.
And the age-old customs brought with them a sense of relief, which was palpable in the air above Ballsbridge this week, as the horse lorries rolled back into town for the 137th show in the history of the event.

In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Shankar Lal Somani, Chairman of Sumeet Industries said that the company's profits can go up to Rs 100 crore over the next two years.
After posting good second quarter earnings, the stock price of Sumeet Industries was up 4 percent and was faring at Rs 37.15 per share on intraday on Tuesday.
The company's revenue went up 20.4 percent to Rs 347.17 crore year-on-year (YoY) and profit was up 228 percent to Rs 15.62 crore.
In an interview with CNBC-TV18, Shankar Lal Somani, Chairman of Sumeet Industries said that the company's profits can go up to Rs 100 crore over the next two years.
He also said that promoters who had sold around 5 percent stake earlier this year are expected to buy that back before December.
Below is the transcript of Shankar Lal Somani's interview to Nigel D'souza and Reema Tendulkar on CNBC-TV18.
Nigel: Topline growth of around 20 percent, explain that to us. Volume spiking up or is it pricing?
A: Results are good and as per our expectations because we are working daily on it. So, the profit is increasing.
Nigel: We were trying to understand your revenue. That has come up by 20 percent. It has grown by 20 percent. So, is pricing stable? Have volumes gone higher? You are operating at a 120 percent. So, have volumes spiked up? Could you explain that to us?
A: Volume is not increasing very fast because we have not added any new capacity. We are improving our production capacity as it is. Our plant is running at 120 percent. We are increasing our first quality, we are increasing our production, we are increasing value added products. So, the profit is increasing.
Reema: The promoters have been selling in the open market. In March, the promoter stake was 45 percent. As of June, 2016 it has come down to 40.2 percent. Could you tell us some more on that?
A: In April month, our some group members sold stake, but now they sold stake at Rs 16 and Rs 17. They are feeling we had done wrong. So, any time they can buy back. Again they will buy back because prospective is very good. So, I feel they will buy back again 5 percent reverse.
Nigel: In this fiscal year itself?
A: Yes, before December, they will buy back.
Reema: Could you tell us a little bit more about the prospects. What would be your FY17 revenue outlook as well as on the profitability?
A: Standalone profit last year was Rs 28 crore and in this half year, this is Rs 30 crore. So, story is very clear that in half year we earned profit equal to last year. So, this year, profit must be Rs 70 crore minimum against Rs 28 crore last year and I will expect that in the next one or two years, this can touch up to Rs 100 crore because we are continuously working on improvement of the quality and quantity.
Nigel: Are you planning on adding capacity? Now you are working at around 120 percent.
A: Yes, we are planning to add some capacity, but for that, we have to plan for funds also.
Nigel: How will you fund that because your debt is already close to Rs 150 crore or more than that? Will you take more debt?
A: Rs 150 crore debt is very less. In the same size company, debt is approximately Rs 250-300 crore. Our debts are very less because we had not expanded big capacity in the last 3-4 years.
Nigel: What is your total debt currently?
A: Total debt is only Rs 150 crore and same size company's debt is Rs 250-300 crore. So, our debt is very less because we had not expanded in the last 3-4 years. After 2012, we had not expanded capacity. So, it is due now. So, we will manage funds and in the next 1-2 years, we will expand the capacity by double.

The Member of Parliament for the Takoradi Constituency, Dr Kobinah Okyere Darko-Mensah, has threatened to sue one Baba Ali, a popular serial caller in the oil city of Takoradi, for repeatedly using the airwaves to denigrate him.
He said, among other things, that the serial caller had accused him of reneging on his 2012 campaign promise to paint all houses in Takoradi.
This accusation, the MP said, was not only unfounded, but unguarded. He said his initial reaction was to treat the whole matter with contempt, but the serial caller would not stop his negative activities.
He said what broke the camel's back was the latest accusation that he solicited funding from his constituents to execute a library project, but this had been marred by controversies.
Under the circumstance, he said, he had no other option than to compel the serial caller, believed to be sympathetic to the cause of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), to retract and apologise or face the consequence of the court action, adding: "I have not mobilised any funds from anybody for a library project, and I don't know why this particular man takes delight in soiling my hard-earned reputation."
The MP explained that he initially thought Baba Ali was suffering from hallucination or mental instability when he fired the first salvo. But upon checks he personally conducted, he realised that propaganda was the agenda being employed by the latter to run him down.
He said when the second salvo was fired, he gave Baba Ali three days to retract and apologise on the same radio network, but the young man called his bluff.
"I am, therefore, compelled to head to court to clear my good name since Baba Ali has refused to do the most sensible thing," the MP stressed.

Military and Veterans
We have been blessed in this nation to be protected and served by the bravest and most noble soldiers in the world. I am deeply grateful to each and every one of these individuals for their enormous sacrifices made to preserve America's freedom and our cherished way of life. As men and women who have made great personal sacrifices to protect the freedom of their fellow countrymen, I believe that veterans deserve to be properly compensated. I will continue to be forever indebted and passionately supportive of efforts to assist America's veterans.
The VA must be given every resource to fully, and efficiently, serve our nation's veterans. Too often, I hear veterans express utter disappointment with the way they were treated when speaking with or visiting the VA. We need to make it a priority of Congress to make the VA as pleasant an experience as we can make it for all of our veterans. I will continue to support efficient funding and improvements which would further empower the VA to have a greater, more positive impact in the lives of the men and women who have sacrificed so much to keep our country free.
To this end, we must ensure that all of our veterans receive cost-affordable health care regardless of whether their employers offer health care insurance. We must also make sure that we do not pass along health care fee increases to our nation's veterans. Veterans should not see any increases to premiums, deductibles, copayments, or costs for inpatient care.
I have always supported increasing the basic pay of our veterans who serve our country with honor. I do not believe any increase should be automatically tied to increases in the Employment Cost Index; rather, it should be a premeditated increase initiated by the U.S. Congress to show the men and women of our armed forces that they continued to be appreciated for all of their sacrifices. In my opinion, these brave veterans are not paid enough for what they have given– and continue to give - in the service of the United States of America.

A Swiss firm that specifically produces parts for EVs has just removed the wraps off of their new all-electric roadster dubbed as Spyder. The vehicle initially began as a university project for the Swiss school of engineering Buchs NTB, but with the assistance of BRUSA there is a great possibility that the car will be capable of competing with the likes of the Tesla Roadster and other established electric sports cars.
To create the car's body style, cues from several sources were used including some features from Porsche, which can be observed from its profile and front section.
Although the car may come with styling cues that refer to its sporting objectives it does not have the fastness of the Tesla Roadster, but it can hit 62mph in six seconds and reach a maximum speed of 125mph plus.
The car is powered by two synchronized electric power units with individual units generating about 127hp (95kW) through an autonomous wheel at the rear, providing the BRUSA Spyder a combined power output of 270hp (200kW).
The battery pack comes with a 16kWh capacity for a total range of 80 miles at an average speed of 50mph. Solar panels on the roof aid the charging of the batteries, which can be charged up to 60 percent of capacity in three hours.
Brusa ultimately chose the Rudolph Spyder, a German roadster inspired by the Porsche 550 Spyder, to become the body that would house its electric powertrain – leading to the birth of the Brusa Spyder EV. In terms of styling, the Brusa Spyder EV features a fascia highlighted by two round headlights mounted just in front of the vehicle's muscular wheel arches.
Moreover, the front end features a bumper that has been seamlessly integrated into the body. The bumper comes with an oval air intake verged by a set of round turning signals. Overall, the body of the Brusa Spyder has a series of curvy fluid lines that forms to create an elegant and appealing skin.
These lines smoothly flow to the rear of the Brusa Spyder EV, wherein a pair of twin taillights produces a unique nighttime signature. Moreover, the Brusa Spyder EV features an old school cabin featuring a clean instrument panel and two sports seats.
Also, the cabin features an elegant dash painted in the same color as the car's body. Furthermore, the Brusa Spyder EV has a cockpit inspired by race cars – a sporty themed front cabin marked by a distinct steering wheel. However, what's easily noticeable is the lack of modern features and elements inside the cabin of the Brusa Spyder EV.

Otros aspectos destacables
LOKVA ROGOZNICA is more then 700 years old village situated 350 m above sea level up on the slopes of Dinara mountain. Seven Hungarian noble families received a grant in land from Croatian-Hungarian king Bela the 4th in 12th century.
Now, it is famous touristic destination because of fabolous pebble beaches and untouched nature. A bit of history you can experience visiting our village, and of course our house.
For real nature lovers and those who prefer relaxing in a sort of isolation, far from noise and hurry of everyday life, our oasis of peace is the right choice.
Especially interesting is the Church of St. Vid situated at the very peak of the mountain 638 m above the sea level. Maintained walking trail is ideal for an afternoon or early morning walking tour.
In the center of the village is the Church of Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary from 18th century recently renovated.
Nearby the beach Ivašnjak is the Art Gallery GANDALJ. The home belonged to the famous Croatian artist Joko Knežević: painter, sculptor , poet and particularly artist of mosaics. His successors worthy keep the memory of him. It is worth to see his creative opus and his unbreakable connection with nature, sea and villagers.
On the opposite side of the Dinara mountain are situated POLJICA rural area. In 13th century that territory was organized as Republic of Poljica a unique phenomenon in Europe due to its progressive administrative form and social structure. It was governed by people who elected the great Prince of Poljica every year. After 600 years it was abolished by Napoleon's conquerors. There is a legend about young, brave girl from Poljica named Mila Gojsalic. In 15th century she stopped Ottoman invaders, seduced their leader Ahmed Pasha, set stockpile of ammunition on fire and finally jumped into the river. In memoriam of her heroic act, a statue of her stands at the place from which Mila jumped to her death.

Bhubaneswar, Sep.5 (ANI): A papaya tree grown in the premises of the rural water supply and sanitation department office in Orissa's Bhubaneswar city, is attracting the religious minded here, as it has reportedly borne a fruit in the shape of Lord Ganesha.
With the festival ofr Ganesha Chaturthi approaching, the emergence of a fruit in this shape, is drawing wide attention, and a large number of believers are converging at the spot to have a glimpse and seek blessings.

Advances in mobile communication technologies lead to a coalescence of location-based, multimedia services for user communities. However, easy development and maintenance of device-independent mobile services are still challenging. We have developed a service-oriented framework for mobile multimedia processing based on international standards like MPEG-7. Quality of mobile service experience is constantly monitored in framework. The scenario "Virtual Campfire" is used in the German excellence cluster UMIC (Ultra High-Speed Information and Communication) to demonstrate future mobile social software with real-time multimedia processing, semantic enrichment of multimedia materials by user communities and complex collaboration over the mobile we like storytelling on different mobile devices. Adaptive Web access, service calls and service monitoring are to be demonstrated as the prototype, which offers approaches to meeting the aforementioned challenges.

Prospective National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, members, yesterday, besieged the NYSC Directorate Headquarters in Abuja, seeking redeployment from volatile states in the northern part of the country.
"We prefer to die here instead of being killed by Boko Haram in the North," were the words by corps members posted to some states like Yobe, Jos, Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Adamawa, Bauch and Borno.
The protesting corps members in their hundreds blocked entrance to the Gowon House in Abuja, preventing vehicles from going out or coming in, as all pleas by NYSC staff to report to their camp and commence redeployment process fell on deaf hear.
"I have started by camping here since last Friday. When I complete my three weeks orientation exercise, I will go back home if they don't do any thing," one of them told Vanguard, while another corps member said: "Let them give us exemption letters, that is better than serving in Borno State."
Related Article: NYSC Orders Corps Members To Report To Troubled Northern States
It was gathered that most of the protesters were mainly from South-South, South-East and South-West, as they lamented that "even routes to the camps are more deadly than camp, we don't know any short-cut. How many corpers from the North do you see among us, look at us very well, we are mainly Ibos and Yorubas."

Wholesale Requirements
$1000 and 25 piece minimum. Any business with a legal Tax I.D. number from their state is welcome to inquire.
Buyer for Hire
Tradewinds' buyers are on the road for many months a year. During our 17 years of importing, we have provided buying services for many companies over the years. We use a "Buyer for Hire" approach, which is not the orthodox approach to wholesale. As a buyer for hire, we would piggyback your goods onto our order. Since you would prepay a non-refundable deposit of 25%, we are not speculating on the goods. As a result, we will only charge you the cost of goods, shipping, duties and a 25% markup. American wholesalers typically charge about three times the overseas cost, but with Tradewinds A buyer for hire, you will pay only about 60% of American wholesale. This is a great deal for you, and allows us synergy with our orders, giving us more buying power and cutting our shipping and customs clearance costs. Everyone wins. The only way you can get it cheaper is to go overseas yourself, but unless you were to buy a substantial amount on such a trip, your travel costs would make your goods more expensive than through us. The drawbacks are that you may have to order when we do, and the goods may take months to arrive.
There are two basic approaches to ordering with "buyer for hire". One is to concentrate on a specific product line, or series of lines, and for you to specify the items in the order. The other way is to give the Tradewinds a budget, and let our buyer have latitude within that budget to select the stock.
Here are two examples of each type of buying and how it can work for you. These are wholesale buys that we have successfully completed for other companies.
Selected Product Line Purchases
We purchased Nepalese singing bowls for a company. The products were chosen by the customer in advance of the purchases, and we received price quotes based on current prices from our Kathmandu supplier. Our customer approved the prices, gave us a deposit, and Tradewinds bought the products, inspected them before they left Nepal, shipped the products, and was responsible for all Customs clearances. We stored the products for a short time until they could be picked up.
Budget Purchases
We were given a shopping budget to shop for jewelry. We were given a budget for each type of jewelry desired. The company also gave us a list of stones and styles to avoid. Within each budget, we were allowed to choose whatever we thought would be best. For jewelry, this type of buying is really ideal, because our buyer is allowed to pick out brand new designs, and you are not restricted to last years styles. We have years of experience that we can draw on to avoid unpopular products, and products with quality control problems. Also, we can offer the most stripped down prices, because we can just charge our buyer's percentage. We don't have to inflate prices enough to cover possible surprise fluctuations in the market. The customer need only pay for shipping from Vermont to their own store. All international shipping and customs are taken care of. The customer gets international pricing, with none of the risk.
This wholesale method really does give you a great price; one that is generally much cheaper than American wholesale. There is, however, a downside. That is: it often takes a long time to get your goods. Patience is required. We believe the large savings are well worth the wait. If you order handmade items, the makers need time to produce the products, and for handicrafts, you must wait for us to ship your goods with our order. Quality handmade goods are always worth the wait, as long as the price is right. We will give your order an approximate E.T.A., but it is best to order well before you need the products. The time involved will depend on the type of product selected, and the method of shipping required.
Interested parties should e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or simply call or visit the store. for more information.
Please feel free to contact us at any time!
Sincerely, Diana and David McLeod

I am so sorry, how dare I start this blog site and then not even follow through keeping my non existent fans entertained. It has literally been over a year since I last posted. So much has happened in the world of Sports. My Panthers gave away the Super Bowl and then gave away the following season. This year I went to the Pro Bowl I met the guy who single handled took the Super Bowl away from Cam Newton, Vonn Miller and I didn't give him the finger, look at how much I have grown.
The funny thing is I've been writing people. I did write ups for WFNZ and Power 98, so my opinions are out there, but I want to focus on my blog more so I'm back.
The Patriots won another Super Bowl, Brady brought his team back from being down 25 points to win his 5th Super Bowl and pretty solidify the fact, I will have to talk about him the rest of my life. Literally my worst nightmare. However I don't mind writing about Martellus Bennett who is hilarious. Check out my thoughts on him turning down the White House invitation already.
I promise to be better in 2017, until tomorrow.

MANILA, March 7 (Reuters) - Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said on Tuesday he hopes there will be a "happy compromise" between the mining industry and protecting the environment, urging lawmakers to listen to his embattled environment minister's case at a confirmation hearing in Congress.
Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Regina Lopez will appear before Congress on Wednesday in the confirmation hearing, facing pressure to defend her decision to shut more than half of the mines in the world's top nickel ore exporter.
"I know that we need the dollars but somehow we have to look at the other way," Duterte told an agricultural industry event.
"She has a good case. Hopefully we can strike a happy compromise there. Much more if they decide on protecting the public interest."

Bet365 Sports is one of the premiere sports betting sites available across the globe. From its roots in the UK, Bet365 has expanded across the globe to offer sports betting and other gambling services in over 200 different countries. It now serves over 14 million customers and is one of the world's leading online gambling companies.
Editor's review
Bet365 eSports Betting Review
- Esports Offered
- Customer Service
- Deposit Options
- Player Value
Bet365 is arguably the leading online sportsbook in the world, and the company is rapidly expanding the amount of attention that it pays to esports. You'll find odds on nearly all major events, and the roster of available odds is growing by the day.
That choice, combined with the incredibly well-established reputation and high promotional value that bet365 offers, makes bet365 one of our top-rated esports options. Read more in our detailed bet365 esports review that follows.
Bet365 Sport has earned favour thanks to its wide range of sporting markets, its excellent service for both PC-based and mobile based customers (including a live streaming service available for both), as well as a top quality In Play betting service.
In addition to offering a wide number of sports betting, casino, poker and bingo games also offers their customers to bet on new emerging markets including Financials, politics, TV and Films, Virtual Sports and of course, it is one of the first companies in the UK to investigate the burgeoning esports industry.
Let's now take a look at the quality of service Bet365 Sports offers its customers interested in betting on esports.
The site also offers betting on Starcraft 2, although this is not as widely available on the site as Dota 2 and LOL betting. Details on other esports games such as Counter Strike: GO, World of Tanks, Smite and Heroes of the Storm isn't available, and as yet it is not possible to confirm if Bet365 has or will offer odds on these esports games presently or in the future.
After speaking with a customer services representative, they informed us that when a 'relevant' esports market is available, Bet365 will usually offer odds for it, although they could not confirm all the different esports that the site would offer. It is therefore fair to say that punters should check the esports section of Bet365 Sports regularly to check out the latest bets available on the site.
What kinds of bet are offered on esports?
The most common bets available on esports are generally simple ones. The most common bets available for games like DOTA2 and LOL are bets on which of the two competing teams in an event will win the match. These are traditional odds bets, rather than handicap bets and this does mean that sometimes the odds between the two selections can be a little high.
In the case of major tournaments in esports, Bet365 will also offer odds on which of the competing teams will win the tournament outright.
The bets offered on Bet365 tend to be aimed more towards a UK-style of odds betting, rather than the American-style of handicapping (though this latter form of betting is available on other sites).
What special features or promotions are offered for esports bettors?
Somewhat disappointingly, though by no means rare, Bet365 Sports don't yet offer any special features or promotions specifically for esports. Although, we would expect this to perhaps change in the future as betting on esports becomes more popular and something that a larger percentage of their 14 million customers indulge in.
Site Rating 7.5/10
Overall, we think that while Bet365 have made a solid start in offering esports betting, the lack of promotions and lack of markets for some of the slightly less popular games means that we are going to give this a rating of 7.5 out of 10. A solid start, but plenty of room for improvement.
How do I Deposit or Withdraw cash from Bet365?
Bet365 offers a wide number of ways allowing you to deposit cash into and withdraw cash from your Bet365 accounts. There are several different ways to pay including several instant payment methods, as well as a trio of methods that can take up to 28 days.
Deposits – You can instantly top up your Bet365 account using any of the following: Debit Card, Credit Card, eWallet services (Neteller, Skrill, Skrill 1-Tap, PayPal and iDebit), Prepaid Vouchers (ukash, Paysafecard) and Virtual Prepaid Card (entropay).
You can also arrange a Bank Transfer via Bank Wire (2-10 banking days) or FastBank Transfer (1-3 Banking Days) or send a cheque which will take between 5 and 28 days to clear.
Withdrawals – Withdrawals from your account can be made via Debit Card, Credit Card, eWallet Services (Neteller, Skrill, Skrill, PayPal and iDebit), Ukash prepaid voucher, Entropay, Bank Wire or via a cheque. Processing time depends upon the method you choose and can range from 24 hours up to 28 Banking Days.
What mobile options are available on Bet365?
Mobile users can access the full range of esports betting services on Bet365 Sport via the following means:
There is a Bet365 App available to download directly from the App Store which offers full access to Bet365 Sports, plus several other Bet365 sites.
There is also an Android app available for download direct from the Bet365 Mobile site for Android users.
Other users on devices such as BlackBerry, Windows Phone or Nokia can access the mobile site via their browser and they can access esports betting on their chosen mobile device in this way.

Encouraging Revegetation in Australia with a Groundwater Recharge Credit Scheme
This paper describes a comprehensive method to design, test and then implement a Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) framework to combat the environmental consequences of extensive native vegetation clearance in Australia. Clearing of vegetation, primarily due to the expansion of farming areas, has often resulted in regional dryland and irrigation salinity. The market based approach adopted ? a groundwater recharge credit trading scheme ? was designed using empirical data from a social survey and experimental economics. The objective of the trial is to test the cost effectiveness of an incentive based recharge credit trade scheme designed to engage landholders in establishing and managing deep rooted pasture and woody perennials to reduce these adverse salinity impacts. The scheme, based on a voluntary ?cap and trade? approach, allows farmers to meet recharge obligations by land management actions or by trading credits. Assessment of the scheme so far suggests that an incentive for aggregate group outcome achievement included in the design may have motivated higher enrollment rates than would have otherwise resulted. A schedule has been developed relating land management practices and recharge credits. The audited performance based payment system, has provided increased motivation to manage for environmental outcomes compared to the previous policy.

From South Carolina to the World: Jimmy Byrnes and Political History at McKissick Museum
August 18 through December 10, 2016, 2nd floor, North Gallery
Some scholars have argued that James F. Byrnes was the greatest South Carolina politician of the twentieth century. The only American to have served as a U.S. Representative, Senator, Supreme Court Justice, Presidential cabinet member, and Governor, Byrnes was, if not the greatest, certainly one of the most active and versatile South Carolinians of his time.
From South Carolina to the World: Jimmy Byrnes and Political History at McKissick Museum explores the relationship between this native son and the holders of the office he most desired—President of the United States. In spite of, and perhaps because of, his failure to achieve this goal, Byrnes influenced the campaigns and careers of eleven presidents by working for—and sometimes against—them. In this presidential election year come learn about a man who for more than sixty years kept South Carolina in the forefront of American politics at home and around the world.

The U.S. Constitution
After the American Revolution, the United States faced an economic recession and an armed rebellion in Massachusetts. Many American elites saw the Articles of Confederation - America's first constitution - as insufficient to provide economic and political stability to the newly independent states. After a spirited debate between Federalists and Antifederalists, the U.S. Constitution was ratified as a new plan of government.

It should be said that this has been in the works for YEARS.
From what I know, I think this will turn out fine. I believe Pius XII was a good man. But beyond that particular issue, the world needs leaders who are willing to pull back the curtain, reveal the truth of things and just let the chips fall where they may.
I believe the world has become consumed by lies, nothing is really knowable, and much goes on that we are not aware of. I want all the archives opened everywhere on the planet. What have we to lose?
Pius was a hero. He saved thousands of Jews from certain death and this is what Pope Francis wants the liberal Catholic Church haters to know.
I am looking forward to learning more of the "Vatican Intelligence Agency named "S.I.V.", a code from "Servizio Informazioni del Vaticano".
Some doors opened may wish to stay shut.
But regarding the accusations against Bergoglio, my b-i-l told me that the two Jesuits who were imprisoned by the Argentinian government, actually WERE guilty of fomenting revolution, being supporters of Liberation Theology, but that Bergoglio was able to obtain their release, and he had them sent to Italy.
Evidently ecumania knows no boundaries. (Duh.)
Rabbi Schneir in NY is a disgrace of a leftist, a disgrace to his religion, so I read this article differently for seeing his name in it.

The shoes of the fisherman: Pope Francis stands with the poor
Before he was a devoted husband and father, or a U.S. Senator, or a presidential candidate of historic accomplishments, Barack Obama took a job working as a community organizer for a group of eight Catholic parishes in one of the nations largest cities. With funding from the U.S. Bishops and working for three years out of an office in a Catholic church rectory, he embarked on a campaign to empower the lives of thousands of people who were suffering through economic circumstances not unlike what has befallen our country today.
And in 2008 note the Catholics For Obama boardmembers:
Rabbi, if you were surrounded on all sides by Axis powers who hate you and pledge to exterminate you if you say ANYTHING negative, would you be "speaking out" more or working to save people BEHIND the scenes? If you still can't figure out the answer to this one, ask yourselves why Jewish leaders didn't "speak out" against Emperor Nero and other Roman leaders more when declared Christianity was an illegal religion were rounding up Christians for torture. Do you think Jewish temples would have accomplished anything besides getting themselves targeted for repercussions if they had "spoken out" against Roman authorities?

Jol points out that while Bent's a good player, the team seems to be doing better with him coming on as a sub:
Isn't that something?
Bent's come on as a sub three times and scored all three times. When he's started we've done less well.
This reminds me of one of the great unspoken findings in Colin Baker's work.
Given how many goals are scored late in games, given how most forwards are more prolific coming off the bench, Jol's actually making a lot of sense here. Just because the established approach is for the first XI to have the prestige, you probably are better off bringing Bent on after an hour. It just makes so much sense.

-How can I respond most effectively to ESL students' writing?-How should I respond to, and grade, language errors in ESL students' texts?-Are there cultural differences in source use and citation practices that I should know about?The University of Illinois has the highest international enrollment of any public university in the U.S., and the percentage of international undergraduates has almost doubled in the past five years.

Hard work pays off for Rodon in spring debut
TEMPE, Ariz. -- The first 2017 Cactus League appearance/start for Carlos Rodon during an 11-2 White Sox victory over the Angels on Sunday couldn't have gone much better.
Here's a small example.
In the first inning, Rodon struck out reigning American League Most Valuable Player Mike Trout with what was supposed to be a back-foot slider.
"I threw it down the middle by accident," said Rodon with a sheepish grin. "It worked."
• Spring: Info | Tickets | Schedule | Gear
Pretty much everything worked for Rodon over four scoreless innings, as he yielded just one hit, walked one and struck out five. Rodon threw 38 of his 65 pitches for strikes and then threw another 10 in the bullpen.
Until Sunday, Rodon's Arizona workload had been limited to bullpens, batting practice sessions and simulated games. The 24-year-old grew a bit antsy as the White Sox gradually brought him along to maximize his regular-season innings, a similar plan helping Chris Sale last season.
But the wait and work paid off on Sunday, when Rodon threw all of his pitches but was focused on his fastball/slider.
"It was good to be out there and compete with my teammates again. That was fun," Rodon said. "I've been sitting here for a while watching everybody else do something. I finally got to get out there and compete. So it was fun."
Next up for Rodon is a start Friday at the A's. If the White Sox keep him on a regular starter's schedule, Rodon would pitch the Cactus League finale at home on March 29 against the Padres.
Jose Quintana is expected to be the White Sox Opening Day starter against the Tigers on April 3, but manager Rick Renteria has yet to announce the rotation alignment. Rodon figures to pitch in the fifth spot during the first time through, but he's not thinking that far ahead.
"Just a plan in the making right now," Rodon said. "We are looking forward to the next Spring Training start."
"We want him to become more efficient, trust his stuff a bit more," said Renteria of the goals for Rodon, who is entering his third season, the second full season as a starter. "His ball has explosive life that moves on both sides of the plate. We want him to attack the strike zone, let it do its stuff and maybe we can use him deeper in the ballgame. He's starting to show signs of who he is."
Angels' hitters worked five three-ball counts against Rodon. But the only walk he issued came to Trout leading off the fourth. One of the best at-bats took place in the first when Albert Pujols fouled off three 1-2 pitches before cueing a grounder into the vacated area between first and second for a base hit.
As Rodon and Pujols ran toward first, the two exchanged a few words in jest.
"Yeah, it was a sinker in," Rodon said. "I told him to save his hits and he thought so too.
"[I want to] build from that. Just try to build that pitch count up and then try to get up and down five or six times next time and then just more command, better changeups."

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Wii - Hacking' started by Riddertje, Jan 22, 2010.
Every time I open a homebrew app, my wii-mote disconnects,
how come?
Same thing happend when I hacked a black wii (the fact its was a black one is NOT important, but I mean a "new" wii)
I've downgraded IOS36 (bad move with Dop-IOS) fixed boot1/2 refused to run downgraded IOSes (timing issues)
So my proposition: update your wii and hack it again (update will "recover" your bad IOS36)
Of course if you say MORE maybe we can help you
Anyway: never downgrade wii / IOS (exept IOS15 with TruchaBug Restorer)
well, it was a virgin wii...

Job Title:
Church Librarian
Library/School Name:
Centerpoint Community Church
Naples, FL
Patrons Your Library Serves:
Sasha Snyder
What was your first library job?
Reference Library Assistant, University of Georgia
Why are you proud to be a librarian?
I love seeing patrons get excited when they find something they need or learn something unexpected.
How do you stay inspired?
The church library is a very focused collection, so I read reviews from varied popular and academic sources to stay aware of new material, and I take all suggestions seriously.
What do you do for fun? What's one thing people wouldn't guess about you?
I am a long distance runner (half and full marathons), which you definitely can't tell by looking at me. I read, knit, travel, and spend time with my nieces and nephews for my doses of fun.
Describe your best day at the library. What made it memorable?
My best day at the library was a few weeks after a long summer overhaul where a lot of people came in, found things they needed, and expressed pleasure at the changes that had been made. It was really satisfying.
What are your favorite Demco products? (Oldies but goodies and newbies welcome.)
Cork-bottomed book dividers. They are work horses and my shelves would not survive without them.
If the sky were the limit, what would you do at your library?
New furniture, some cozy spaces for reading, and some dedicated study desks.
How do you envision your library in 2025?
We are using some volunteer efforts to create an online catalog. Hopefully some sort of searchable catalog will be available in 10 years! Bigger space, better lighting, and a larger fiction collection.
What's the best piece of advice you have for your fellow librarians?
Listen to your patrons and focus on their needs. Create a collection development policy — even for a small collection — and stick with it. Find a way to incorporate your own goals for the library with patron needs and policies, and you will have a growing, relevant collection that is being used!

One recent December, at age 53, John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low: his small law firm was failing; he was struggling through a painful second divorce; he had grown distant from his two older children and was afraid he might lose contact with his young daughter; he was living in a tiny apartment where he froze in the winter and baked in the summer; he was 40 pounds overweight; his girlfriend had just broken up with him; and overall, his dearest life dreams—including hopes of upholding idealistic legal principles and of becoming a judge—seemed to have slipped beyond his reach.
Then, during a desperate walk in the hills on New Year's Day, John was struck by the belief that his life might become at least tolerable if, instead of focusing on what he didn't have, he could find some way to be grateful for what he had.
Inspired by a beautiful, simple note his ex-girlfriend had sent to thank him for his Christmas gift, John imagined that he might find a way to feel grateful by writing thank-you notes. To keep himself going, he set himself a goal—come what may—of writing 365 thank-you notes in the coming year.
One by one, day after day, he began to handwrite thank yous—for gifts or kindnesses he'd received from loved ones and coworkers, from past business associates and current foes, from college friends and doctors and store clerks and handymen and neighbors, and anyone, really, absolutely anyone, who'd done him a good turn, however large or small. Immediately after he'd sent his very first notes, significant and surprising benefits began to come John's way—from financial gain to true friendship, from weight loss to inner peace. While John wrote his notes, the economy collapsed, the bank across the street from his office failed, but thank-you note by thank-you note, John's whole life turned around.

Loved this book!
- Denise T.
Great content, but hard to stay awake.
I loved the content of this book, and I'm planning on using it to change my life. I have already begun to apply the principles and see new opportunities for joy in my life coming my way.
The first thank you - to his son.
Would be helpful to have more animation in his voice. Sometimes I was lulled to sleep by the sort-of monotonous tone.
Change Your Life AND the Lives of Others

EXCLUSIVE: Teacher killer Will Cornick receives fan mail from deluded teens
TEACHER killer Will Cornick is getting fan mail and love letters behind bars from deluded death-loving Goths across the world.
The schoolboy has become an anti-hero to mixed-up teens since his brutal murder of Spanish teacher Ann Maguire, 61, in class.
Cornick, 16, who played violent video games and changed his social networking profile to a picture of The Grim Reaper, said he "couldn't give a sh*t" and felt 'fine and dandy' after stabbing her seven times in front of horrified classmates.
He was caged for a minimum of 20 years after admitting her murder last week and is under 24-hour suicide watch at a young offender institution which houses some of Britain's most violent youngsters.
But his savage crime has earned him an army of warped admirers.
A source revealed: "He is getting letters from boys and girls from England, the US and Australia.
"It is not a surprise really because as soon as someone commits a notorious act then the letters start coming.
"Some are from girls saying he is cute and others are from equally messed up people wanting to know what it felt like to like to kill and peculiar things like that."
"Cornick has already been moved from one youth jail to another after staff got wind of a plot to attack him"
Cornick's lawyers have argued his life has been put at risk by the judge's decision to identity him as Mrs Maguire's killer when he would have been protected by rules banning juveniles from being named.
He has already been moved from one youth jail to another after staff got wind of a plot to attack him.
But now he appears to be getting more fan mail than threats.
All correspondence is carefully monitored but legal sources said he would be allowed to swap letters with supporters if he chose.
It costs taxpayers £83,685-a-year to keep him in his current unit where he can take part in classes like English, maths and computer skills, plus vocational courses in cookery, fixing cars, gardening, woodwork and painting and decorating.
The centre also has facilities for sports, including football, badminton, indoor bowls, hockey, tennis, weight training and rugby league.
