... very enjoyable journey. Our first stop was Oban, a lovely town which is the gateway to the Western Islands. We had a not very nice coffee there, but saw an amusing sign. The shop obviously had different options for eat in, which was described as 'Ice Cream to sit in'. The next place to stop was Fort William, where we had a short visit to their (free) museum. There were some interesting displays about the commandos from WW2, who trained ...

An auto dealer has a 2012 Shelby GT500 listed for 28995 in a newspaper ad with no fine print about pricing mistakes. They give a stock number of the vehicle and on the dealers website the stock number matches the car but the price is 48995. Does the dealer need to honor the lower price legally and take the 20000 loss?
A newspaper advertisement does not create a legally binding agreement. The deal you reach with the car dealer and the contract you sign are the binding agreement. The fact that it looks like the advertisment was (1) could have been misleading; or (2) that it was mistyped as to be $20,000 under the sticker price for a car in that price range ought to be an indicator that there was a mistake. The other possibility is that this company has a history of conducting business this way and that could have legal repercussions. You haven't stated any facts that would indicate such.
You could consult with a lawyer in your area who handles auto sales contracts. Many of them offer free consultations.
No, and they won't. You would have to sue them and prove this was part of a pattern of fraudulent listings rather than an obvious mistake. The fact that you realize the mistake and that there are other listings with the correct price means you have no case.

Hey all. So I bottled my honey ale last night but before I did I did a taste test. There was a hint of honey but very bitter. Does this sound right to anyone?
Just finished the honey ale 30 min ago. Hit all my numbers on the mark. I've now got 5.5 gal at 1.068 sitting in the fermentation fridge. Made a 1L starter of Windsor and hit it with 2 min of O2 after pitch. So far-so good.
It was a good brew day over all but made some last min adjustments. Added all 1.5 oz Fuggles at 10 min and added the honey at flame out. I used beer smith to convert to a 5.5 gallon all-grain brew with 2row brewers malt as the base malt. Due to the full boil increased hop utilization I used only 1 oz of the EKG for bittering.
So far so good... Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Home of the world's first Yoctobrewery- brewing beer one sip at a time.
Im going to be ordering the northern brewer 1 gallon kits of the ale and porter.
Boy, Windsor is a sprinter, eh?
Hour 10 I had to hook up the blow off. I know it's not a very good attenuator, but it sure took off like a bat out of hell...
I bottled my WH Ale on 11/11/12. I just cracked one open after letting it sit in the fridge for couple days, and I can't say I'm very pleased. And yes, I realize that at 3 weeks it can still be considered green, but it's got a bitter taste that my tongue can't reconcile. I think it might the gypsum. This is the first recipe I've done using gypsum, and I put the stated 2 tbsp. of it in. Having tasted this I now think that's too much for not only a partial boil (which I did), but perhaps also my local NoVA tapwater profile. (It was after this brew that I began experimenting with bottled water to improve tastes).
All in all, it's not particularly pleasant to drink. I'm half tempted to throw it all out, but then the rational part of me kicks in and says to keep it and check back on it in a few weeks. Only time will tell if it gets any better.
So much for blindly following a recipe...
Guess it's all part of the learning process, though.

Published in U.S.
Keywords: 2d amendment, gun control, gun rights, right to bear arms, self defense, defense of others, second amendment, catholics and gun control, Keith A Fournier, Deacon Keith Fournier
CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - Part III of the Catechism of the Catholic Church is entitled Life in Christ. There we find the paragraphs which expound upon the Fifth Commandment, You Shall Not Kill. The entire section can be read here. Catholics who seek to enter into the debate surrounding what is often called gun control should begin here.
We should approach all of the issues we face in a Western culture which has lost its moral compass as Catholics first, last and all in between. However, as in other areas of serious cultural concern, many Catholics tend to simply consider the various arguments, choose one they agree with, and then jump in. Even if the approach is well intended, it can lead to error and ineffective participation.
We are called to first form our conscience in accordance with the truth. The truth is revealed in the Natural Law, expounded upon in the Sacred Scripture and the Tradition and taught by the Magisterium (teaching office) of the Church. Consciences can be uninformed, poorly formed, deformed, or become darkened and lead us to a confused state where we wander in our own land of Nod, East of Eden, following in the footsteps of Cain. (See, Gen. 4:16)
We live in a precarious time in the United States. Many are concerned about the apparent effort to infringe upon the rights delineated in the Bill of Rights to the United States Constitution. One of those Rights is found in the Second Amendment which reads "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
My purpose in this editorial is NOT to enter into the charged debate referred to in shorthand as gun control. Good people can and do have differing opinions on the legitimate concerns which this debate brings up. My purpose is to attempt to clarify the language and set the issue in a context for my readers, most of whom are Catholic or Christians of another community.
Only Human Persons Have Rights
In an age of sound bites and agenda driven news reports, the architects of a new cultural order have slipped one more phrase into the lexicon of the cultural struggle which we adopt at our own peril. The phrase is Gun Rights. Guns have no rights. People do. Rights are goods of human persons. Human Rights come not from a civil government but from God. The Right at issue is the Right to Self Defense. Civil Rights are those rights recognized by the Civil Government and properly protected. Again, Human Rights do not come from the government. Let me give two examples.
Over the course of our human and civil rights struggle to protect our youngest neighbors in the womb from being intentionally killed through procured abortion we have experienced the lethal power of words. The Right to Life is confirmed by the Natural Law and medical science. The child in the womb is our first neighbor. It is always and everywhere wrong to kill our innocent neighbors.
The phrase Abortion Rights was manufactured by cultural revolutionaries who oppose the true Right, the fundamental Human Right to Life. They inserted it into the lexicon of the cultural struggle. The Complicit Media adopted the shorthand language of these architects of a culture of death. Procured Abortions are deadly acts. They have no rights. Only human persons do. The first of which is always violated in every procured abortion because a child is killed.
Sadly, even some in the Catholic and other Christian media adopted the language. In so doing, they are propounding the evil.The same sort of verbal slight of hand is now routinely used by those who oppose marriage.
The leaders of a homosexual equivalency movement want a society where homosexual sexual practices are considered morally equivalent to the sexual expression of marital love between a man and a woman. They further demand that homosexual relationships, incapable of achieving the ends of marriage, be given the same legal status as a marriage. They want to use the police power of the State to accomplish their cultural revolution by insisting that homosexual persons have some right to marry.
Marriage is not simply a religious construct. The Natural Law reveals - and the cross cultural history of civilization affirms - that marriage is between a man and a woman, open to children and intended for life. However, a complicit media, including some within Catholic and other Christian media, have advance the equivalency activists agenda by using phrases such as gay marriage and marriage equality. Those who defend marriage are accused of being against a right to marry or something called marriage equality.
Guns have No Rights, People Do
A similar verbal pattern is emerging in the debate surrounding the Second Amendment and government efforts to regulate the purchase and use of guns for self defense. Let me be clear. I do not own a gun. However, I have nothing against gun ownership.
I believe it is protected by the Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights. I may choose to own a gun in the future if the trends which have been unleashed in the nation continue. Trends which I fear increasingly threaten a proper understanding of ordered liberty and limited government.
However, I think many of my friends who are attempting to weigh in on this important social issue are falling prey to another media short hand verbal engineering tactic when they use the phrase Gun Rights. Guns have no rights, only people do. Yes, one of them is the Right to defend yourself, your family, your property and your neighbor.
You may be asking, "Is this simply a matter of semantics?" I insist it is not! The pattern is the same one which was used to undermine the defense of the Right to Life and the Defense of True Marriage. Incorrectly framing the debate by changing the language in order to undermine the true right is a tactic of cultural and social engineers.
Change the language
Catholics, other Christians, and other people of good will should watch our words. What we must protect is the Right to Self Defense and the Defense of others. One of the means we may have to use involves the ownership of guns. The Right to Self Defense is vested in us - not in those objects we use - to be used if and when it may be necessary.
There is no question that the Second Amendment protects the Right to keep and bear arms. The text, and the interpretation of it in the clear judicial precedent considering the proper application of the Amendment is clear. However, the larger issue should remain the focus of our contribution to the debate.
The following sections of the Catechism of the Catholic Church should be read and studied by Catholics - and anyone else concerned with the real threat we face in this area. The text contains footnotes to Scriptural texts and the insights offered by the great St Thomas Aquinas which should be read for further assistance in informing our own understanding.
Legitimate Defense
2263 The legitimate defense of persons and societies is not an exception to the prohibition against the murder of the innocent that constitutes intentional killing. "The act of self-defense can have a double effect: the preservation of one's own life; and the killing of the aggressor. . . . The one is intended, the other is not."
2264 Love toward oneself remains a fundamental principle of morality. Therefore it is legitimate to insist on respect for one's own right to life. Someone who defends his life is not guilty of murder even if he is forced to deal his aggressor a lethal blow:
If a man in self-defense uses more than necessary violence, it will be unlawful: whereas if he repels force with moderation, his defense will be lawful. . . . Nor is it necessary for salvation that a man omit the act of moderate self-defense to avoid killing the other man, since one is bound to take more care of one's own life than of another's.
2265 Legitimate defense can be not only a right but a grave duty for one who is responsible for the lives of others. The defense of the common good requires that an unjust aggressor be rendered unable to cause harm. For this reason, those who legitimately hold authority also have the right to use arms to repel aggressors against the civil community entrusted to their responsibility.

I worked at Reinhart FoodService full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
In Kansas City RFS was a great place. They purchased American Foodservice and maintained the leadership and the culture. We were told that our model was what they wanted for the rest of the locations. However, things were vastly different in Tennessee.Cons
Kansas City: None. Tennessee is a good ol' boy warehouse. They are very focused on growth but all they want is new accounts no matter how small or insignificant. They will treat you well to your face and then fire you without warning if you don't have 40-50 active accounts regardless of if the accounts are efficient or profitable.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Be less like the other mega-distributors and run the company smarter. Cases per mile=profit. You don't take new accounts to the bank you take dollars. Getting new accounts for the sake of numbers won't pay off in the long run, it will ensure employee and customer turnover. Re-evaluate "sales cost" so the reps actually make money, or if you continue to insist on focusing on new business at least put a new account bonus in place to prevent burnout. Eventually the reps will discover that they are losing money by taking 2-3 case orders at 40 locations and will go to a competitor.Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEO

...is Ludwig ETLING (b. abt 1562 in Alsfeld, Oberhessen, Germany). He had at least two children: a daughter, Katharina (b. 1594 in Alsfeld) who married Konrad HARTMANN ...and a son, Veltin (Walter)(1610-1637) who married Margarete HOMEYER on March 3 1636 in Schlitz, Hessen, Germany. Back then, you could not live in Schlitz by choice; the village was limited by walls surrounded by rivers. You had to have been born there or married someone who lived there. For generations, Schlitz was the ancestral home of my ETLING line, thanks to Veltin's marriage to Margarete. The ETLINGs were (and still are, so I hear) potters by trade. Schlitz was one of a few villages spared the ravages of WWII. My immigrant ETLING ancestor was Friedrich Adam Johann ETLING (1822-1897) who fathered 2 sons by one wife and 2 daughters by another, first residing in Kansas before moving on to Oregon. Friedrich has many uncles, great uncles and great great uncles I have nothing on other than their names and dates of birth. The location of birth for virutally all of these uncles is Schlitz, Hessen, Germany. I was told on the Rootsweb Hessen board that if I ever wanted to meet my ETLING cousins, all I have to do is let the mayor of Schlitz know I am coming. Virtually the whole village would show up for the reunion; as so many are related by blood to the ETLING line.

Congressional term limits bill introduced in U.S. House
Online Staff Report
FAIRFAX, Va. — U.S. Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., introduced an amendment to the U.S. Constitution April 25 that would limit the number of terms a member of Congress may serve to three in the House of Representatives and two in the Senate.
Term limits for members of Congress have been spotlighted in recent weeks as former senator and vice presidential nominee Joe Lieberman announced that after reflection on his 24 years in office, he now supports term limits.
The Lieberman statement was followed by a poll conducted by the Gallup organization that showed the American people would vote for congressional term limits by a 75 percent to 21 percent margin.
Phil Blumel, president of U.S. Term Limits, the nation's largest term limits advocacy group, called on Congress to send the Constitutional Amendment to the states for them to decide, saying: "The public clearly wants term limits, and it is the ultimate conflict of interest for federal elected officials to prevent the states from making the decision on whether their own terms should be limited."
Salmon is introducing the amendment on a tide of public dissatisfaction with Congress, and Blumel believes this public outcry may break the log jam that has prevented consideration, stating: "Many members of Congress are hearing from their constituents that they want the tough issues in D.C. to be acted upon rather than a continual kicking of the can down the road. In this context, they are realizing that a constitutional amendment limiting terms for members of Congress may be the only way to make our political system work again.
"Now, Congress faces a crisis," Salmon said. "The people hold the legislative branch of our federal government in such low regard largely because they believe that they are no longer represented by fellow citizens, but instead by professional politicians. It is time to change this. It is time to put citizens back in charge. It is time to pass congressional term limits."
U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La., has introduced the same congressional term limits amendment in the U.S. Senate.
To become part of the U.S. Constitution, the amendment requires a two-thirds vote in each house of Congress and ratification by three quarters — or 38 out of 50 — states.

May 3, 2013
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Dominion Virginia Power says it's asking state regulators to increase what the utility charges customers to recover its fuel costs for the first time in two years.
The Richmond-based energy provider on Friday asked the State Corporation Commission to increase the fuel rate starting July 1.
If approved, the change would raise the average monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours by $2.36.
Virginia law allows Dominion to bill its customers for the company's cost of the natural gas, coal, uranium and biomass used to generate electricity and the power the utility company buys.
The company says higher fuel costs and increased electricity demand are the primary drivers for its request.
Dominion has about 2.3 million customers in Virginia.

Asylum seeker[edit]
What are this person's grounds for remaining in the UK? Surely she is an undesirable alien.
184.108.40.206 01:35, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
I removed the following:
- When challenged by journalist and Labour Party member Jon Kendrick at a fringe meeting during the Labour Party Conference it appeared that Ms. Hodge has no more compassion for children in care and no more concern for getting details right that in the past. 15 years after the first allegations of child abuse in Clwyd she was asked why still no truly independent investigatory body had been formally set up, with secure statutory powers, specifically to investigate allegations and complaints against social workers, and in particular children's social workers. Ms. Hodge became irritable and insisted that such a body exists. She insisted that a fully independent body exists to investigate complaints against childcare workers, that it is now in place and that it is avaialble to all.
- That is untrue. In every respect.
- The Local Government Ombudsman is the nearest thing to an Independent Investigator, but he/she does not have any statutory powers of enforcement, has no 'power' to investigate any alleged misfesance in a Local Authoirty unless the LA will co-operate with the inquiry, and rarely chooses to meet with complainants.
- Over 80% of people who complain to the Ombudsman are not satisfied with the outcome. In some areas over 90% of Ombudsman investigations find no fault with the Council.
- Because the Ombudsman will only accept complaints in writing, people of low educational attainment or who for whatever reason cannot write down their complaint cannot anyway benefit from his 'help'. Children in care rarely have finely tuned powers of written expression.
- Still there is no 'body' that can enter a local authority and 'seize' records without warning and no 'body' that can take the side of a complainant 'against' the corporate system to force out 'truth.
- It remains standard practice for LA's to be insured against liability arising from abuse allegations with commercial insurance companies, and for those companies to impose very strong controls to prevent authorities admitting that abuse has occurred and to deter them from carrying out invetsigations that might expose abuse by social workers. Their aim is to avoid financial liabilities, not to ensure the safety of children.
- Also, the Risk Policies of Local Authorities coupled with the influence of insurers and LA Lawyers who see their role as to protect the Council from accountability for wrongdoing enable LA Officials to 'silence' elected Councillors who might try to make waves (see reports of events in Clwyd).
- They achieve this by warning them that if they help a member of the public to expose wrongdoing and there is a finding against the council, that councillor can be held personally financially liable for all costs and damages and could lose their home and be totally bankrupted. It is blackmail of elected representatives to suppress exposure and to that end even proper investigation of abuse allegations.
- This may or may not be how the system SHOULD work, but it is certainly the way it DOES operate.
- Local Authority and Government cover-ups of child sex abuse allegations involving public officials are today, after Clwyd, if anything even more draconian in their totality and are more impenetrable than ever in the past.
- Margaret Hodge, true to her past record in Islington it seems, regards political expediency as more important than the lives and quality of life of children and especially those in the care system.
- Her disdain for the feelings and genuine safety of children is perhaps exceeded only by her determination to succeed in her political career.
- For over 10 years Jon Kendrick has been attempting to force a Government investigation into allegations of politically linked child exploitation and abuse against children in care.
- He is alleging, taking up the cudgels to press for changes in statutory structures from the late Simon Regan, an investigative reporter, that a cartel exists mainly on the right wing of the Tory party within which teenage boys, many from the care system and allegedly recruited with the co-operation of senior childcare officials and others, have been used for political influence and blackmail for over 20 years, and he is alleging that this, by implied or actual blackmail and awareness of the obsession with scandal avoidance, has influenced senior politicians in all political parties for over two deaces.
- It appears to be a specific organisation within which the exploitation of gay teenagers seems to have been throughout a major factor. It appears to have been founded some twenty five years ago by a group of right wing lawyers, aspirant politicians, and lobbyists along with several right wingers and MP's (including members of Thatcher's Government) in the Tory party.
- Ms. Hodge should be looking into these matters carefully and objectively.
- Yet as fourteen years ago in Islington, her eyes are apparently fixed on here own political advancement while her head remains firmly in the sand.
- What I saw and the Fringe Meeting of the Labour Party was a Minister who simply does not know her 'patch' - or who still has not bothered to check out the realities of the responsibility she holds. She does not appear to 'care'. She should.
- Jon Kendrick can be contacted via NUJ HQ in the Gray's Inn Road.
It may or may not be true, but it has little relation to Margaret Hodge, and still less place in Wikipedia. --126.96.36.199 08:56, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
Needs checking[edit]
I added some "citation needed" tags for the following reasons. Birthplace given as Cairo in text and Alexandria in box. The honorific "Right Honourable" implies Hodge is a Privy Councillor, but I couldn't find proof of Hodge's appointment when I searched for a date nor did government sites refer to it or use the "Rt Hon" prefix. Folks at 137 18:33, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Removed uncited information[edit]
I have removed the following text,
, the opposition and, it is rumoured[by whom?], a number of her parliamentary colleagues[who?].
Especially because it seems to refer to a rumour - please do restore it if sources are found and it is not a rumour!
I've also removed a chunk of irrelevant information about the BNP and pro-BNP pov pushing, including this delightful speculation:
Whilst this was far short of the Labour party total, it was clear from their performance that the BNP could have won many more seats had they stood a full slate of candidates.[citation needed]
I'll go down see what else I can find. Hope all is well, Hands of gorse, heart of steel (talk) 23:00, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Note 20[edit]
Posts to the wrong article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 20:31, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Personal wealth[edit]
The article formerly (until I removed it just now) claimed that the subject's wealth was in the "multiple hundreds of millions of pounds", citing a Sunday Times article. This turns out to be a gossip column entry from the Prufrock column, and refers only to an inheritance which the author thinks will be about £2m. Sam Blacketer (talk) 18:42, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
- It is claimed the company she has shares in that only pays 0.01% tax. Margaret Hodge is a campaigner against tax avoidance http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/consumertips/tax/9668396/Margaret-Hodges-family-company-pays-just-0.01pc-tax-on-2.1bn-of-business-generated-in-the-UK.html (Coachtripfan (talk) 12:08, 10 November 2012 (UTC))
She is regularly accused of being a hypocrite in tax affairs as she uses a trust to avoid inheritance tax for her children. On twitter she has attracted the hash tag #HodgeTheDodge — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 20:11, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
There have been a couple of iterations of references to an article I wrote in Taxation magazine calling Margaret Hodge Tax Prat of the Year. I've removed the last version for NPOV and OR. In my view, since there is no real award of "Tax Prat of the Year", there is no more reason for this being included permanently on her wikipedia entry than any other op-ed piece. Matruman (talk) 09:08, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
Reference to her husband's knighthood, but not to him in person. Who is he? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 12:55, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
- Reading the article, I found that it is Henry Hodge. Any help?--Old Moonraker (talk) 14:39, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
She may be entitled to call herself "Lady Hodge" as the widow of a knight, but as far as I am aware she does not. More significantly, "Lady Margaret Eve Hodge" at the start of the article is wrong as it suggests she is the daughter of a duke, marquess or earl, which she certainly is not. --Rumping (talk) 10:46, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
Poor phrasing[edit]
The last sentence quoted here is poorly phrased: 'In 2003, following Hodge's appointment as Minister for Children, Panton went public with his allegation that he was abused in Islington Council care and had repeatedly raised this issue with no effect. He accused Hodge of being ultimately responsible for the abuse that he suffered. Davies also went public with the issues that she had raised concerns about while working for the council.'. Can someone please improve this, particularly '... concerns about while ...' ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 09:32, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Singapore's Best of Both Worlds, Blending East and West
The city-state is an exotic Far East locale offering modern facilities and Western amenities and entertainment
November 23, 2011
With its unique combination of cultural history and modern sophistication, Singapore offers the best of both worlds for business travelers. At the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, Singapore is located in the heart of Asia, making it a strategic destination where event delegates can easily convene via flights available in dozens of U.S. cities as well as 60 countries worldwide. Singapore's central location also makes it easy to reach many other Asian countries.
The presence of more than 7,000 multinational companies in Singapore, together with a government that is supportive of nurturing business, contributes to a dynamic business environment. A wide range of group event facilities, accommodations, and leisure activities make it an ideal business travel location.
Singapore is extremely safe and friendly to travelers. The national language is English, so communication is never a problem, and the destination's sophisticated transportation system makes it easy to get around. Singapore offers state-of-the-art Western amenities yet maintains its Far Eastern appeal with ethnic neighborhoods like Chinatown and Little India, both of which sell delectable cuisine at restaurants and open-air markets.
The city-state offers extensive choices for accommodations. There are more than 150 hotels and over 42,000 guest rooms in every budget and preference category, from no-frills properties to five-star boutiques to modern business hotels to luxury beach resorts. Most properties offer fully-equipped business centers, meeting facilities, broadband Internet access, and other conveniences for business travelers.
Singapore offers a range of convention centers, exhibition halls, and meeting venues that suit a variety of needs and budgets. These venues not only have state-of-the-art facilities, they also offer the convenience of nearby accommodations and dining. Smaller venues are available for intimate gatherings, and unconventional spaces such as historical museums, theaters, gardens, and even the city's
Fountain of Wealth
, can be rented for groups.
The two integrated gaming resorts are additional attractive options. Marina Bay Sands boosts Singapore's group business and leisure capabilities with a grand ballroom that can hold at least 6,600 people, an exhibition hall that can accommodate approximately 2,000 exhibition booths, and a convention center with more than 200 meeting rooms and a capacity of over 45,000 delegates. The casino provides a full gaming experience, with table games and slot machines, while the theater offers well-known musical performances.
Resorts World Sentosa, on Sentosa Island, just off the city, is home to Southeast Asia's first Universal Studios theme park, a casino, and a range of hotels, including Festive Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel, Hotel Michael, and the exclusive Crockfords Tower. With its extensive meetings and incentive facilities—which includes one of Southeast Asia's largest, column-free ballrooms; 30 function rooms; and over 20 indoor and outdoor events venues—the resort can host more than 35,000 delegates at a single time.
For incentive groups, there are more than 20 indoor and outdoor venues within Resorts World Sentosa, including themed zones within Universal Studios Singapore, the Bull Ring, the Coliseum, FestiveWalk, Crane Dance, and the Maritime Experiential Museum & Aquarium. These greatly increase options for travel organizers.
When it comes to leisure, Singapore has something for everyone, from the Singapore Zoo and Night Safari to the National Orchid Garden to Universal Studios Singapore, as well as the Singapore Flyer observation wheel. There also are water sports, zip lines, golf, dragon boats, and shopping at upscale retailers along Orchard Road and in Marina Bay.
A vibrant nightlife offers an exciting mix of nightclubs, including the newly opened super-nightclub Avalon and ultra-lounge Pangaea, casinos, celebrity chef restaurants, and the Esplanade theater featuring world-class entertainment. There are also beautiful exotic beaches and spas for those who just want to relax.
Singapore is an all-in-one destination, providing unique incentive experiences for delegates suited for different occasions. Event organizers can easily customize their meetings according to specific needs. For more information and a meeting planner's guide, visit

Hope to see all of you at the RhinoDAY!!!
I have been trying to create a mobius ring band, where there is a smooth transition from vertical plane to horizontal plane and back to a vertically flipped plane. I have tried various ways in rhino but the transition is always too smooth, it seems to autocorrect the crossing over. I have also asked a few rhino users and they have not been able to help.
Do you guys have any suggestions? Or can place me in the right forum if I am not in the right forum.

Here are the campaign promises offered by the five candidates for governor of Idaho this year:
Butch Otter, Republican incumbent: "I am committed to keep working tirelessly to grow Idaho's economy and career opportunities for our citizens and our communities; I promise to keep protecting the people of Idaho from the additional financial burden of government excess; I promise to do even more to ensure that state government lives within the people's means; I promise to keep protecting and improving educational opportunities for all Idahoans; I promise to promote greater liberty, wider opportunity and more economic prosperity; and I promise to keep protecting Idaho's family and faith-based values."
Keith Allred, Democrat: "I have two main priorities: lower taxes to help small businesses generate more jobs, and a stronger education system. We cannot build a great state without making sure we give all of our kids an equal opportunity for a great education."
Jana Kemp, independent: "As governor I will bring an end to the good ol' boy decision making structure that is not looking out for the best interests of our whole state. As governor I will build businesses and education so that we have a great place to work and live."
Ted Dunlap, Libertarian: "As governor, I will reduce government size, cost and intrusion. I will increase your control over your money and your life."
"Pro-Life," independent: "I will stop pre-born baby murder in Idaho, I will veto all socialist legislation, and I will work to stop the fascist licensing of professions and occupations."

Confessions of a Failed Young-Earth Creationist
I became such an expert in young-earth creationist theology and science that it turned into a wrecking ball for my faith.
Soul, Strength and Mind: How BioLogos brought me out of hiding
Science is an honest and noble pursuit, evidence of human intellect and curiosity, and to turn away from these is to deny a very important part of who God created us to be in the first place.
Growing Up Evangelical: My Story of Making Peace With Evolution
My childhood in the evangelical church gave me the toolkit that led me to eventually accept the evidence for evolution, and marvel at the God who created it all.
Ch. 5-6: How the Categories Shape the Conversation
The words we use to talk about the Bible and science often predispose us towards unnecessary conflicts.
The Evolution of a Southern Baptist
Recent high-school graduate Jacob shares about his journey from young-earth creationism to evolutionary creationism, and how his faith was challenged and strengthened along the way.
The Tradition of Wisdom for Today: a Relational Theology of Science
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
Series: Communication, Love, And Faith: A "Sayonara" from former BioLogos Web Editor Emily Ruppel (2 entries)
Origins News Roundup for September 17, 2014
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
God as Process Engineer: Creator, Sustainer, Reedemer, and Provider
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution" (13 entries)
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
BioLogos Basics Video #3: What about the Bible?
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
"The Language of God" Book Club–Chapter 5
Does Collins show that Evangelicals have turned the corner on the scandal Noll brought to light, or does the continued resistance of the majority of Evangelicals to Collins's work (about 75% reject human evolution) show that we as a collective group still do not take the life of the mind seriously?
Reflections on the "Non-Negotiable" God of the Road to Damascus
There was nothing about my experiences on Oct. 20 or the God I'd met that day that intimated to me that he harbored a particular abhorrence for evolution or any scientific theory. I wonder how often we do stuff like that: add things to our list of divine "non-negotiables" that really reflect nothing of the God we experienced when he first welcomed us into his family as a free gift of grace.
How To Talk to Family About Evolution
…because accepting evolutionary theory for the first time does require us to reconsider and reframe other aspects of our cultural and spiritual beliefs, we must be more caring about the way we interact with those who remain in disagreement with us.
To Tame the World: What terrifies us about reality pushes us toward its Creator.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
Series: The Faith of a Great Scientist: Robert Boyle's Religious Life, Attitudes, and Vocation (13 entries)
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
Ian G. Barbour, 1923 – 2013
Ian Barbour died on Christmas Eve at the age of 90. He is credited by many to be the father of the contemporary academic discipline of science and religion.
The Challenge of Cosmology
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Series: Evolution and Faith: My Journey Thus Far (2 entries)
As Christians we believe by faith that Christ was both human and divine, and although this paradox can be difficult to comprehend, it is not a stumbling block to our faith nor does it hinder us from having a relationship with him. Similarly, the Bible is both human and divine.

Night Train - Guns and Roses Tribute
Thursday August 15th
$29 $19
Following in the footsteps of one of music's most illustrious heavy metal acts is a tall order by any means, but when that heavy metal act's implosion still generates buzz a decade after playing its final show, it doesn't make things easy.
But that's exactly the kind of challenge the members of the Guns 'n' Roses cover band Night Train welcome with open arms. Not only are they attempting to emulate the sound of musical legends, they are taking it to the next level by imitating the chart-topper's dress and attire as well.
The Elgin-based band Night Train, who will be performing at bergenPAC on Thursday August 15th , has studied the ins and outs of the original Guns 'n' Roses for years and the members feel confident they live up to their billing.
"I think we're the best G 'n' R cover band out there right now, to tell you the truth," said guitarist Chad "Izzy" Baxter. "From the hair to the clothes - right down to the last detail, we're them."
With dedicated attention to detail, Nigh Train covers the early career of Guns 'n' Roses, playing songs from rare bootleg material, "Appetite for Destruction," "GN' r' Lies," "Use Your Illusion I and II" and even "The Spaghetti Incident?"
Chris McDonald's Memories of ELVIS featuring DJ Fontana original Elvis drummer.
Thursday August 22nd

It is a natural, heartfelt tribute to an All-American Legend in a truly dynamic performance complete with dancers, costumes and high-energy concert band. With this newly updated version of his popular tribute, Chris has created a multi-media experience. Video clips of Elvis's career and close-ups of all the live action on stage will be projected on a large screen above the stage, bringing everyone even closer to their own "Memories of Elvis."

India political heir Rahul Gandhi condemns elitism
Rahul Gandhi, the heir to India's Nehru-Gandhi political dynasty, said he would work to transform the country by decentralizing power after he was elevated to the governing Congress party's No. 2 post.
Associated Press
Rahul Gandhi, the heir to India's Nehru-Gandhi political dynasty, said he would work to transform the country by decentralizing power after he was elevated to the governing Congress party's No. 2 post.
His career embodies Congress' reliance on the Gandhi family name, but the man widely expected to be the party's candidate for prime minister in next year's elections condemned elitism as "the tragedy of India" and vowed to work to expand access to power for ordinary people.
"For me, the Congress party is my life. The people of India are my life and I will fight for them," Gandhi, a 42-year-old lawmaker, said in his acceptance speech Sunday in the western Indian city of Jaipur, a day after he was appointed the party vice president, a position behind his mother Sonia Gandhi, who is the Congress party president.
Reflecting on his eight years while working for the party organization, Rahul Gandhi said India's governmental system was struck in the past and the answer lay in completely transforming it.
"A handful of people control the entire political space" he said to cheering party workers.
"It doesn't matter how much wisdom you have. If you don't have position, you have nothing. That's the tragedy of India," he said.
Rahul Gandhi also said many Indian youths are angry because they have been excluded from the political class.
"We only empower people at the top of the system. We don't believe in empowering all the way to the bottom," he said.
He said change could be possible only if those in power started respecting and empowering people for their knowledge and skills.
"All the public systems - administration, justice, education and political - are designed to keep people with knowledge out," he said.
Such a system promotes mediocrity, he added.
However, opposition parties are already seizing on the fast political rise of Rahul Gandhi - the son, grandson and great-grandson of Indian prime ministers - to brand Congress as nepotistic and elitist.
Arun Jaitley, a leader of the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, said Rahul Gandhi's elevation in the Congress party was a move to convert the world's largest democracy into a dynastic nation. Jaitley said the leader of his party was decided on the basis of ability, not lineage.
In 2004, Manmohan Singh, a technocrat, was chosen to fill the prime minister's seat in 2004 by Sonia Gandhi, the Congress leader and widow of assassinated Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
Singh has been widely seen as a regent, keeping the seat warm until Rahul Gandhi was ready to take what some see as his birthright.
But Gandhi has displayed little public sign that he is undergoing any sort of apprenticeship that would prepare him for running the country. He has never held a Cabinet-level position.
Party workers have been demanding Rahul Gandhi's elevation for years, but he had been shying away from holding a top position in the party.
His supporters argued he was rebuilding the party at the grassroots level and has taken a lead in the Congress' campaigns in state elections in Uttar Pradesh and in Bihar in recent years. The party performed poorly in both states' elections last year.
Rahul Gandhi entered politics in 2004 and became a lawmaker from Amethi seat in northern Uttar Pradesh state. The parliamentary seat was held by his mother until she shifted to a neighboring constituency.
