text: Report: Hernandez Used 'Angel Dust' Drug, Was So Paranoid He Carried Gun at All Times Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Sports 27 Aug 2013 post a comment Former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez reportedly used the drug "angel dust" (PCP) and was so paranoid about his safety that he carried a gun wherever he went, according to a report. Hernandez is currently in jail after being charged with the first-degree murder of Odin Lloyd. Rolling Stone will have a feature on Hernandez's life next week, and the publication previewed some of the revelations: • Hernandez was a heavy user of angel dust, and had become so paranoid over the last year that he carried a gun wherever he went. • He surrounded himself with a cohort of gangsters, and cut himself off from his family and teammates. • Hernandez had so infuriated his head coach, Bill Belichick, with missed practices and thug-life stunts, that he was one misstep from being cut. • Both his parents, Dennis and Terri, had criminal records, as did much of his extended family. • Terri allegedly cheated on Dennis before his death with a violent drug dealer named Jeffrey Cummings, then married Cummings after Dennis died and moved him into the house she shared with Aaron. • In college his coach (then-University of Florida head coach Urban Meyer) may have helped cover up failed drug tests, along with two violent incidents — an assault and a drive-by shootout outside a local bar.

After four months since the change to fare enforcement over education when checking fares, Portland, Ore.-based TriMet has given out nearly seven times as many citations as a year ago.
Riders now have an 83% chance of either getting a $175 citation or an exclusion if they don't have a valid fare. A year ago, those odds were 35%, according to TriMet GM Neil McFarlane."The move to enforcement is resulting in more riders buying fares, rather than having to face a $175 citation or exclusion from the system," said McFarlane. "We continue to move our fare enforcement effort throughout the system and at various times of days, so riders should be prepared and have a valid fare."McFarlane estimates that the agency will receive about $460,000 this year due to more riders buying fares, covering most of the costs of the additional six supervisors hired to enforce fares. When TriMet moved to a stronger stand on fare enforcement, the six new supervisors, plus other supervisors spending an hour a day checking fares, brought the fare inspection team to the equivalent of 18 full-time fare enforcers. The agency is evaluating the cost/benefit analysis of whether to hire additional fare enforcers.The base fine for not having a valid fare is $175, with up to $69 coming to TriMet the balance goes to Multnomah County and the state. Exclusions from the system can extend up to 90 days.Additionally, the agency has been awarded a federal grant to hire four additional transit police officers, which includes a K-9 unit. The $1.5 million grant will bring the Transit Police Division (TPD) to a total of 62 sworn officers including 4 K-9 units. TPD includes officers from 17 jurisdictions from the tri-county area. The agency plans to have the new officers in place by next spring.McFarlane also announced that TPD officers will be stepping up patrols for the holiday season. TPD Cmdr. Mike Crebs said the focus is to serve as a deterrent."With more riders traveling around with gifts and packages, we wanted to send a clear message that more police will be patrolling the system," said Cmdr. Crebs. "We also want to remind riders to be alert while on transit and report any suspicious behavior or packages."

Lose for Life
DCI Desert Dialysis Green Valley
1700 W. Commerce Point Place Sahuarita, AZ 85629
The Event
Weight loss program with Weight Watchers
Location & Address
Girl Scout Sahuaro Council, 4300 E. Broadway Ave, Tucson, AZ
Noticing that many patients asking for a transplant were put on hold due to being overweight, we thought a good project for one the 40 Acts was to help these people lose weight. Some of the staff are Weight Watchers members so why not see if we could join forces for this special weight loss project. Weight watchers agreed and the project was a go. We started by sending out a notice to the dialysis clinics in Tucson and to the Transplant Team at University Medical Center about our project. Fifteen people responded from six different clinics. These 15 people and the members of the project team met on March 27, 2011 at the DCI Prince Road clinic to kick off the Lose For Life project. Tables of healthy snacks were provided. The clinic dietitian was there to answer food related questions. And, for moral support, Life Time Weight Watchers member were there to share their stories of success and to answer questions about the Weight Watchers program. Each participant was provided a 16 week membership to Weight Watchers and the basic member kit with the Points Plus calculator. The project leader compiled a list of Weight Watchers' meeting places so that the participants could choose a site close to their home. Initial excitement about losing weight to get the transplant was high. We found, though, as the weeks passed, life issues prevented some people from regularly attending the meetings. Monthly follow-ups revealed some people who had lost weight. While others continued to struggle with old eating habits. Of the 9 people who completed the 16 weeks, all experienced a "positive" result. For some people, there was little weight loss but they did realize how bad their eating habits were. Some learned just how big a 'portion' really was. And one of the participants got family members to go to the meetings passing on good healthy eating habits through the family. Four successful people lost between 11 and 17 pounds. One patient is now active on the transplant list. The other three are continuing on with their weight loss journey and are getting close to their goal.

Andrew Luck is keeping his focus on football. He'll let others worry about his new contract. The No. 1 overall draft pick says that even though he cannot attend training camp until he signs a deal, he is not worried about the lack of one becoming an impediment for reporting to training camp. The Colts report to Anderson University, an NCAA Division III school about 30 miles northeast of Indy, on July 28. Indy opens practice July 29. Luck took a handful of questions Tuesday following a Play 60 appearance with about 90 children in downtown Indianapolis. The Stanford graduate says he enjoyed going through last weekend's commencement ceremonies and now can focus exclusively on football.

About Owner/Property Manager
I grew up in the Detroit area but spent a good portion of my childhood summers in Northern Michigan. From that experience I always had a dream of someday owning a cottage in Northern Michigan.
Owner/Property Manager purchased this chalet in 2013
Why Owner/Property Manager chose Cross Village
I was introduced to the Tunnel of Trees approximately ten years ago and was instantly taken by its uniqueness and natural beauty.
There are many facets to this property. It has a Chalet style home is surrounded by trees yet has great views overlooking the Tunnel of Trees and Lake Michigan. Behind the property is over an acre of unblemished woods but the property also has private beach access.
What makes this chalet unique
The property is conveniently located for a diverse set of day trips. Aside from touring or biking the Tunnel of Trees, it is a short drive to the Sturgeon Bay (with its dunes), a 30 minute trip to Mackinaw City, and 30 minutes or less to Harbor Springs and Petoskey.

Please, let this be the 'Last Exorcism'
A review of the film "The Last Exorcism Part II," which is every bit as cheap and far more generic than the original, nothing more than a run of the mill ghost story masquerading as "The Devil Made Her Do It."
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Movie Review
'The Last Exorcism Part II,' with Ashley Bell, Julia Garner, Louis Herthum. Directed by Ed Gass-Donnelly. 88 minutes. Rated PG-13 for horror violence, terror and brief language. Several theaters.
OK, so it wasn't "The Last Exorcism" after all. Here's "Part II," an 88-minute bore without the nervy, shaky-camera found-footage conceit, without the doubting exorcist's moment of truth, without the chills of demonic possession thrills that the low-budget original film served up.
"Part II" is every bit as cheap and far more generic, nothing more than a run of the mill ghost story masquerading as "The Devil Made Her Do It."
Ashley Bell, as Nell, the teen lusted after by Lucifer, seems exhausted, frazzled, out of her acting league and nowhere near her teen years in this sequel. Nell has stumbled into New Orleans, hounded during Mardi Gras even as she tries to convince doctors and those in a mental health halfway house that "I'm not crazy."
But she's seeing her dead daddy (Louis Herthum). She's hearing voices.
Dogs bark at her passing, gorillas in the zoo act up. And every Mardi Gras reveler in a scary mask stares her down. Frank (Muse Watson), who runs Deveroux Halfway House, could not be more wrong when he assures her, "Whatever you're running from won't find you here."
"Last Exorcism II" is a slower than slow thriller built around Bell, who isn't at her most subtle or empathetic here. There's fear and the burden of "If he seduces you, all hope is lost." Not that Bell gets that across. There's no urgency to the performance, or that of anybody else trying to save poor Nell from Hell.
It's a film of cheap shriek scares and fizzing frights that pack no punch. The tropes of the genre — exorcists who have the tools but face long odds, bleeding walls, birds that fly into a house where Nell hides out (hey, it was ALIENS who caused that in "Dark Skies") — are there. But the effects are skimpy and cheesy, with that crazy contortion business that the first "Last Exorcist" took to new extremes rarely used.
Filmmaker Ed Gass-Donnelly sets too much of the action in broad daylight, which isn't spooky. The dull acting doesn't hide that there's not enough story to justify setting this in Voodooville, USA — New Orleans.
So one can only hope that when the say "The Last Exorcism," that they mean it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Eye of Providence (or the all-seeing eye of God) is a symbol showing an eye often surrounded by rays of light or a glory and usually enclosed by a triangle. It is sometimes interpreted as representing the eye of God watching over humankind (or divine providence).[1][2][3] In the modern era, the most notable depiction of the eye is the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, which appears on the United States one-dollar bill.
Many religions have used the image of an eye in their religious symbolism. One of the earliest known examples (from Egyptian mythology) is the Eye of Horus. However, the association of an eye with the concept of Divine Providence did not emerge until the Christian era.
In Medieval and Renaissance European iconography, the Eye (often with the addition of an enclosing triangle) was an explicit image of the Christian Trinity. Seventeenth-century depictions of the Eye of Providence sometimes show it surrounded by clouds or sunbursts.[4]
In 1782, the Eye of Providence was adopted as part of the symbolism on the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States. It was first suggested as an element of the Great Seal by the first of three design committees in 1776 and is thought to be the suggestion of the artistic consultant, Pierre Eugene du Simitiere.[5]
In his original proposal to the committee, Du Similtere placed the Eye over shields symbolizing each of the original thirteen states of the Union. On the version of the seal that was eventually approved, the Eye is positioned above an unfinished pyramid of thirteen steps (again symbolizing the original States, but incorporating the nation's potential for future growth). The symbolism is explained by the motto that appears above the Eye: Annuit Coeptis, meaning "He approves (or has approved) [our] undertakings". This reflects the founding fathers belief that God favors the creation the United States and will bless its future prosperity.[citation needed]
Perhaps due to its use in the design of the Great Seal, the Eye has made its way into other American seals and logos, notably the Seal of Colorado and DARPA's Information Awareness Office. It is also part of the City Seal of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Today, the Eye of Providence is usually associated with Freemasonry. The Eye first appeared as part of the standard iconography of the Freemasons in 1797, with the publication of Thomas Smith Webb's Freemasons Monitor.[6] Here, it represents the all-seeing eye of God and is a reminder that a Mason's thoughts and deeds are always observed by God (who is referred to in Masonry as the Great Architect of the Universe). Typically, the Masonic Eye of Providence has a semi-circular glory below the eye. Sometimes the Eye is enclosed by a triangle.
Popular among conspiracy theorists is the claim that the Eye of Providence shown atop an unfinished pyramid on the Great Seal of the United States indicates the influence of Freemasonry in the founding of the United States. This was dramatized in the 2004 Disney film National Treasure. However, common Masonic use of the Eye dates to 14 years after the creation of the Great Seal. Furthermore, among the members of the various design committees for the Great Seal, only Benjamin Franklin was a Mason (and his ideas for the seal were not adopted). Indeed, many Masonic organizations have explicitly denied any connection to the creation of the Seal.[7][8]
The Eye of Providence appears on many coats of arms and official seals, such as:
The Eye appears on the following currency:
Alchemical woodcut showing the all-seeing eye floating in the sky
Original seal of the DARPA Information Awareness Office
All-seeing eye on the gate of Aachen Cathedral
The Eye of Providence can be seen on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, seen here on the US $1 bill.
All-seeing eye on the pedestal decorations of Alexander Column

"You rise with the Moon, I rise with the Sun."In Real Life combatants naturally seek the high ground and other places on the battlefield with tactically advantageous Geo Effects, and to maneuver their opponents into tactically disadvantageous positions. A related tactic is to affect allied and enemy morale to make the fighting easier. In fiction the Field Power Effect is a third, supernatural way to make a given set of characters (whether heroes or villains) stronger or weaker. A Field Power Effect is a spell or environmental condition that affects the fighting ability of one or more characters, strengthening and/or weakening them. Weather and terrain may play a factor, such as a pyrokinetic being weak during a rainstorm while an aquakinetic gains more power. Or a solar powered hero being strongest at noon and weakest when in pitch black darkness. Terrain like the Place of Power affect characters atuned to the type of energy it boosts (and it's opposite). You can probably tell that due to Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors, any Field Power Effect that boosts one set of Elemental Powers will weaken whatever is in its opposition. This is similar to how opposing sides with the ability to use Status Buff and Status Buff Dispel can also end up canceling each other out. Other possibilities include things like time of day, year, or even the positions of planets and stars. The reason Field Power Effects work is they somehow affect the Power Source of characters, or failing that their soul. An area filled with Light energy naturally strengthens characters who are good-aligned, while evil characters who are Weakened by the Light will suffer a Depowering. It'd take a very strong Cross-Melting Aura on the part of a villain to overpower that kind of disadvantage. The reverse is also true, an evil wizard who emanates Dark Side energy will make heroes quake and those Allergic to Evil outright faint. In both cases the character will feel soul pains. Just to clarify, it's also possible for a Field Power Effect to just boost or drain without pairing both.

Just a Question / Comment - Field Sketching
I have tried to wrap my old and feeble brain around "sketching" in the field and all the answers i get are either fairly expensive or there seem to be glitches.
I don't really understand "apps" and how they function but I keep thinking that Blackberry is coming out with the new Playbook circa ~March?. Apparently it runs on some sort of tablet OS. So I wonder if / when /what and why would the appraiser want to go with this type device and how would that work? Would it run Apex? and what other uses could you have with the Playbook? Input in the field? Search comps on the MLS from the field? Substitute as a GPS?
I mean, really, does this save time enough to justify the expense?...and I am thinking from the perspective of a non-urban, non-secondary market viewpoint. My comps are freqently distant, difficult to locate sometimes.
My biggest concern is that the technology is so rapidly changing, one hardly has the wrapper off the package before it is obsolete and you have to relearn the whole thing. I went to ATT and looked at a smart phone, Samsung... Looks great, does great things... costs an arm and leg and then what have I got? An expensive phone with a $100 a month pricetag to boot? I kept my old dumb phone....which I can't do 1% of its capabilities. Am I just too much of a Luddite?

I got a Motion Tablet PC off of Ebay for $250 last year and I use it out in the field. I can use if for other things too. I have a Droid but I don't like to use it to surf the web as my eyes are getting bad the older I get. I tether my tablet or my notebook to my Droid and get online. It is much easier to read that way.

Some mornings, its just not worth chewing through the restraints.
The Playbook seems pretty awesome to me from my VERY limited exposure to it (under very controlled circumstances) but just how awesome it will in comparison to a whole host of slate type devices hitting retail in Q2 and Q3 remains to be seen. I like to wait until I see actual retail, shipping product before making a call. But, FWIW, with the Playbook specifically, the underlying preferred development environment means that most apps will need virtual re-writes to take full advantage of all that the Playbook brings to the table. We'll simply know more (vs. speculate) in a few months. In the interim, our take on the device might raise or lower depending on the details. I suspect we'll be at about 75% confidence on facts within 60 days...
FWIW, we should all see a handful of viable slates, plus a few convertible type devices this spring which may be of interest to the vast majority of appraiser types. There will be many, many more which for various reasons are not first tier. From what I saw and from follow-up info, I expect those which will float to the top in the appraiser market will be in the 7" - 10" category, 1.4 - 2.1 lb range and fall into the $700 - $1,200 price bracket in "standard appraiser trim." (Base prices being in the $500 - $1,000 range.) Battery life should be in the (realistic) 6 - 9 hour range. Even Motion Computing has a model out soon in this range. Point being, that IF you find the Android or Windows environment more suitable to your particular situation, you can look forward to choices by this spring which in many ways are very similar to the iPad in most ways that seem to matter to appraisers. Note, I am NOT knocking the iPad - I own a few myself. I just want folks to know that there will be real choices in a very few months and I urge people to wait and see what shows up before making a decision based on speculation. I will be compiling a comparison chart of the devices I find to be most compelling for appraisers once I have hard delivery dates, pricing, and field trial stats. I envision something like the PDF I did for Appraiser Cameras, now buried several topics down here on the Apex section. (Reminds me that I need to update THAT, too, LOL)
Hope this helps!

invAll investments and their respective gains or losses have an effect on your state and federal taxes (and possibly even local). To invest profitably, it's vital that you understand the impact of taxes on your gains and losses. Since your investing monies are called "capital," the profit you receive from that invested capital is called Capital Gains.
Capital Gains
A capital gain occurs when you sell an investment for more than your cost basis — the total you paid to acquire the investment. For example, if you buy stock that costs you $5,000 including commissions, then sell those shares later for $6,500 including commissions, your capital gain is $1,500. That gain is subject to capital gains tax, which, as of 2011, ranges from 15 to 35% of your gain.
Long Term vs. Short Term Capital Gains
The capital gains tax rate you pay depends on how long you held (owned) the investment before selling it.
- Stocks held for one year or more: Are considered long-term capital gains and are subject to the lowest capital gains tax rate — 15% as of 2011 but soon to change (see chart below).
- Stocks held for less than one year: Are considered short-term capital gains and are subject to your ordinary income tax rates, which are determined by your tax bracket. These rates are currently as high as 35% but will climb to 39.6% in 2013.
Because long-term capital gains have traditionally been subject to much lower tax rates than short-term gains, it almost always pays to hold on to any stock you buy for longer than one year.
Start your Scottrade portfolio today and get your investment plan in gear!
Capital Losses
If you sell an investment for less than its cost basis, you incur a capital loss. Keep track of your losses! You can use them to offset your capital gains tax for a given year. For example:
- If you buy an investment for $12,000 and sell it later for $10,000, your capital loss is $2,000.
- If you incur that loss the same year in which you sold another investment for a $2,000 capital gain, the gain and loss would cancel each other out and you would not be required to pay any capital gains tax.
- If your capital loss was larger than your gain, you'd also be able to carry forward that loss to offset gains you might incur in future years.
Offsetting strategies can be complex, so consult a tax advisor before selling any investment for a significant gain or loss.
Inflation Is Never Considered in Capital Gains
In a stroke of blatant unfairness, the current US Tax Code doesn't account for gains resulting from inflation. For example, if you invested in a rental home that increased in value the same amount as the inflation rate over a five year period, then decided to sell, you would be taxed on that "gain." So, even though a gain that results entirely from inflation is not a real gain at all, this pretend gain is taxed. Similarly, gains that do not even keep pace with inflation are still treated as gains when they are, in fact, losses! So if your rental home went up one percent over five years and inflation went up three percent each year, you would STILL be taxed on that one percent as if it were a gain, even though your investment lost ground in real dollars.

When Steven and I first joined St. Paul the Apostle Church in Flour Bluff in 2006, Father James Stembler was our beloved, joyful priest.
What a glorious time for us! Everyone was so thoughtful and caring that, for the first time in our lives, Steven and I felt that we truly belonged! We were more than just parishioners; we were part of a church family, a God-given gift so immensely gratifying that we couldn't imagine life without this intricately woven church community.
Father John Xaviour arrived at St. Paul's in January 2007, and everyone loved him. But, as Father Stembler likes to recall, "he was in Flour Bluff only three months before Bishop Carmody reassigned him."
At Father Stembler's gentle but insistent nudging that Steven and I return to our home parish to "assist Father Xaviour" however we could, we relented after the third attempt. Late April 2008, our very strong desire to remain with our church family finally gave way to our rejoining St. Joseph Church with Father Stembler's enthusiastic blessing.
Our heartwrenching departure became a heartfelt mission that called us— me in particular— to build community within God's kingdom in ways we'd never imagined… until Father Xaviour was reassigned again in July 2013, and the door to St. Paul's opened for us once more all on its own.
Only, by then Father Stembler had also been reassigned— twice during our absence— first as full-time vocation director for the diocese and then as pastor of St. Gertrude Parish in Kingsville where he's happily fulfilling his call of service at the present time (South Texas Catholic, September 2011).
Church family
Yet the spirit of the St. Paul family knows no bounds!
Regardless of time apart, lack of communication, distance, and/or proactive engagement at our respective parishes, we're forever linked within this uniquely festive body of Christ: A veritable fan base, delightful, nurturing, always present.
No matter where we've ended up or how we happen to come together— for a brief encounter at the HEB on Waldron Road or for a very special event within the diocese— every shared instance is a memorable occasion.
Beloved, joyful priest
So, without missing a beat, the moment the collective we heard about Father Stembler's upcoming celebration to commemorate the anniversary of his ordination (January 21, 1989), we made plans to attend. Eagerly carpooling to St. Gertrude's in Kingsville, the St. Paul family paid tribute to our beloved, joyful priest for his twenty-five years of faithful service to God and his people!
Faithful shepherd
Father James came to me for the blessing before the homily. I think I should've asked his blessing before I say what I'm going to say.
[Playfully slicking his hair back with his left hand, Bishop Mulvey's antics evoked a hearty
eruption of laughter.]
I think those are the last two things I told you when you left the seminary: "Don't be snooty, and don't think you know it all 'cause, even if you do, they'll teach you different."
No. I want to thank you, Father James, for your friendship first of all, for being a priest of our diocese, and for being such a good and faithful pastor. Wherever you've been and, again, the church reflects all those places and people that you have served. And I want to thank you for that.
He was so right in saying what he said in those few little gestures, that it is true that the young priest leaves the seminary and he does think he knows it all. And he might think that he's a bit cut above the others. But as Pope John XXIII used to say— soon to be saint— Pope John XXIII used to say that the people were not given to the priests. Priests are given to the people: To walk with the people; to shepherd the people; and, as our present Holy Father puts it, "to smell like the people."
But it takes a true act of an open heart, an expanded heart, of a sincere and noble heart to be able to accomplish that: To know that we don't know it all, that we don't have it all, that we're not better than anyone else. We've been called. And you were called to be a priest of the Church, to be a good shepherd to your people. And when we come to these moments in our life when we celebrate anniversaries, it is so wonderful and moving, I would say, to be able to look out over the flock that you have walked with and shepherded and have become one. And that is also a tremendously humbling experience, but it is also an experience that I'm sure tonight you have joy in your heart to experience it.
And so, as Father James says, we want to thank you, people of God, who form us and form him.
We also want to thank him for his fidelity and his deep concern for the Church and his faithfulness.
And I want to say something to Wally and Virginia because we don't just learn to be faithful. We don't just learn to be dedicated priests. We learn that from where we come, from our homes, from our families. And I've witnessed over the last few years your fidelity to your parents who now are not able to travel to be with us. But you and your siblings have been so faithful to your mother and father, and that was obviously instilled in you so that you could be faithful to them and that you could also be faithful as a disciple of Jesus Christ and a disciple of the priesthood and of this particular church in the diocese.
So I am also very grateful and very joyful tonight to be with you and to share this moment with you. And, as you continue this journey of faith, this journey of being a good shepherd, we learn more and more of the heart of this shepherd, Jesus Christ. God bless you (Bishop Michael Mulvey; January 25, 2014; transcribed audio recording).
Well, um. You won't believe this, but I don't know what to say. [Everyone burst into laughter.]
One thing I do want to acknowledge. One of my assignments was to be the secretary to Bishop Gracida for five years, and I learned in those five years that being a secretary is a very important role, a very important function. So I want to acknowledge the secretaries that I've worked with over the years.
Jeanette Vela at Our Lady of Perpetual Help. She was a parishioner at St. Paul's, too. There was Anna de Leon Ramos. She was not able to be here this evening. For three years we worked with Bishop Gracida in the various responsibilities. I want to acknowledge— she's not able to be here; she lives close to her daughter now— Bertha Bedellin who worked at St. Elizabeth's, a wonderful person. Carol Wondolowski right here, the secretary at St. Paul's. And Kathy— you're back there, aren't you? Yes. Kathy Taylor, who's the secretary here at St. Gertrude's.
I thank you all very much for helping me along and all of that. I do believe the statement that says, "Do you want to talk to the boss? Or do you want to talk to the one who knows what's going on?" They know what's going on.
Well, there are a lot of people waiting to be thanked tonight. I want to thank the choir. Rachael [Bustamante] for the music and the musicians up there [in the choir loft].
I want to thank the Knights of Columbus for falling out this evening. This is a wonderful attendance of the fourth-degree Knights. I worked with the Knights of Columbus in parishes over the years. It's always been a very good association. It's very good here at St. Gertrude's, so you Knights keep up the good work.
I want to thank the ladies from the National Council of Catholic Women. I know they're back there. It was one of you, Delma Guerrera, who urged me to continue with the NCCW. And I have. It's been a wonderful association. It took me all the way up to now a national office. It's been wonderful working with all for twenty-three years, so thank you for your friendship. You all are wonderful people, and it's good to get together. It's good to support the Christian presence in the Holy Land. Something we need to do through prayer and through financial support, too, huh?
It's wonderful work that you all are engaged in. Certainly, it's been a pleasure to be with the Knights and the ladies….
Then there's my older brother. I'm the youngest in the family— can't you tell? Paul and his wife, Mary are here. This is warm weather to them, so that's why they're in short sleeves. It's great to have you with us this evening.
I mentioned all the priests and all the deacons earlier.
Thanks to the servers for serving. To Benencio— where are you? Back there somewhere. Benencio is the housekeeper. He does a good job. Thank you for your presence here this evening. It's so great to see all of you from these past twenty-five years. It's truly a great joy, as the bishop said.
We'll see what God has in store for the next twenty-five years. But, if it's been like the first twenty-five years, it's going to be wonderful as well.
Thanks for everything (Father James Stembler; transcribed audio recording).
Thanks to our dear friend, Sam Apiado, for his photos in the "faithful shepherd" and "acknowledgments" sections. The pictorial, "relic of Our Lady of Guadalupe," in the introduction is a much appreciated gift from the Legion of Mary (through Luz P. Garcia; October 23, 2007). Thank you!

The cold is settling in, and while many people don't give their warm bed a second thought, hundreds of others in Charlottesville are sometimes left out in the cold.
Living behind the door of room number six at the Salvation Army is Sonya. Like many others staying at their shelter, Sonya, who declined to give use her last name, is homeless.
Especially during the cold winter months, Sonya and about 50 others have come here to escape the sometimes harsh realities of life.
This shelter gives them what's needed to jumpstart their transition.
Shelters like the Salvation Army aren't the only places in Charlottesville people can go. A new program called Pacem recently opened its doors to homeless people seeking shelter.
Pacem, which stands for peace in Latin, includes a network of churches that weekly rotate and provide somewhat of an umbrella coverage to men with no place else to go. The church this week is First Presbyterian.
Pacem runs from November through April. Currently, they house about 20 individuals a night, and for people like Sonya and Chris, these shelters give them the extra boost they need.

Since then, Birrell has regularly taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Scotland such as the Edinburgh and Fife Art Galleries, as well as having his work on display in London and New York.
George Birrell has an inherent interest in the architecture and landscape of his native Scotland and the spirit of the East Coast towns and fishing villages of Fife holds a special place in his heart, providing the primary inspiration for his work. Working predominantly with oils, a signature Birrell painting is stylised with saturated colours, vigorous brushstrokes and bold composition. The artist describes this as an emotional response to his memories.
Birrell doesn't paint directly on the spot or from photographs, but improvises the essential memory of a place within the comfort of his studio. Aspects that attract him are harbours and their bric-a-brac, as well as mills and castles. Typical Birell paintings shows a clear and well-constructed compositions with contrasting colours creating areas of light and shade, drawing the eyes into the small village.

We partner with the world's top museums and galleries to bring you exclusive prints of the highest quality. Our teams of designers ensure the colours are accurate, papers are well suited and the best frames are suggested.
In the printing room, artworks are printed on state-of-the-art machines with a team of technicians checking colour and quality every step of the way.
After being cut down to size, our team carefully finish any stray edges, check measurements and prepare the prints for mounting and framing.
We have a team of master framers who work with high-quality, responsibly-sourced wood to create our vast range of framing combinations - each frame is bespoke and made to order for every print.
Our selection of hand-finished frames are painted or stained by hand in a variety of colours, and finished with a layer of wax - the end result is a uniquely crafted, beautiful frame that is made to last.
In this workshop everything comes together - the print, the frame and the glass - in a seamless and stream-lined process.
The artwork is carefully mounted in preparation for framing.
Once mounted, the print is ready to be covered by glass or perspex - a delicate procedure but expertly done with not a fingerprint in sight.
After a final, thorough check, the framed print is ready to be carefully packaged up and shipped to the customer.
For those who order their art as canvas prints, the same amount of attention and care goes into the process. Here, the print is being transferred to a wooden frame.
As with the framed prints, our canvases are all hand-finished in the workshop - a labour of love from start to finish.

As night falls, the dark forces battle the super-human Others of the Night Watch, whose mission is to patrol and protect.

It is for this really explanation that dog health supplements are most essential should you select to go with business meals rather than a raw puppy foods diet plan. Some pet dogs can be vulnerable to foodstuff intolerance and therefore demand a straightforward diet plan that excludes the prevalent triggers such as rooster, soya and wheat gluten. http://dogblankets.weebly.com/coolaroo-dog-bed.html

Positive Factors

So, you have come to the conclusion that you would like to share and boost your life with a puppy and you would like to know what pet to get. Shedding can be a nuisance to some canine proprietors, especially if their canine lives primarily indoors. Even well trained pet dogs get curious sometimes especially when they odor steaks and burgers preparing on the grill.

 If you are continually on the go, this bonus should catch your eye. Businesses make all kinds of clothes, toys, and other items to keep a dog content, so why not health supplements too. They come in various types of animals, veggies, fruit and many other models.

All puppies and wolves have this drive, which is instinctive and can help dogs hunt and find foodstuff, but some puppies have a more powerful prey push than others because of to millennia of selective breeding.

From the Director's Desk
The City of Lansing Parks and Recreation Department is coming off another outstanding summer and we have plenty more to offer you for the fall season! This edition of the Community Activities Guide is packed with recreational opportunities for people of all ages. As Mayor, I am exceptionally proud of our parks and recreation system and the many programs and services we offer to the community.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our community volunteers who help make our parks and recreation programs and facilities the best they can be. Behind the scenes at nearly every parks and recreation event is a dedicated crew of volunteers who believe in the power of making a difference by giving of their personal time. Our parks and young people are the beneficiaries of the hard work and community spirit of these civic-minded citizens.
To facilitate the work of our volunteers, I'm pleased to report that Lansing's Parks and Recreation Department was recently awarded a grant from the Capital Region Community Foundation that will enable us to purchase a Volunteer Tool Trailer. This trailer will be outfitted with various hand tools that are essential to many volunteer projects.
I'm also pleased to report that our Parks and Recreation Department has installed new and innovative playground equipment at the Gier, Davis, Letts and Baker Donora Playgrounds. This new equipment consists of the Classic Dome – a spider web dome that captures the enjoyable and challenging nature of pure climbing with no limits – and the Super Nova, which is designed to encourage individual, competitive or cooperative play by harnessing the effects of gravity with a unique, slanted ring configuration.
Once again I invite you to join us this fall at Fenner Nature Center for the annual Apple Butter Festival on October 11th and 12th. With Halloween right around the corner, you're also invited to bring the kids and come to the Candyland event on Friday, October 24 at the Alfreda Schmidt South Side Community Center. For more information about these and other parks and recreation events and programs, feel free to visit the Lansing Parks and Recreation website at www.lansingmi.gov/parks, where you can also register online for our latest programs and activities.
I look forward to seeing you this fall in one of our terrific city parks or at one of our city-sponsored parks and recreation programs. In the meantime, keep enjoying your parks, your programs and your community!

Customer Reviews
10 May 2013
Why the high price?
To be honest I was expecting this to be a higher quality and better tasting fruit tea than I normally purchase due to the cost. It certainly smells lovely, but the taste is weak, not special at all and not worth paying 28p per teabag for, as opposed to my normal 9p a teabag. I shall not be buying this again.
29 February 2012
Seems like there is a slight hint of vanilla in this, perfect. Am ordering it every week!

Reliable Kudzu Control with Streamline®
Kudzu and other climbing vines along utility rights of way present challenges for vegetation managers. Fast-growing and difficult to control, kudzu poses safety threats to work crews and the public as it climbs utility poles and guy wires. Unchecked growth can create hazards and interfere with infrastructure, leading to power outages. In addition, vines growing on or near utility poles can pose a danger to line workers and hinder maintenance and repair.
Streamline® delivers reliable control of kudzu and other hard-to-control vine and brush species, including eastern poison ivy, honeysuckle, blackberry, mesquite and boxelder, while preserving desirable grasses. (For best control, multiple-year applications may be necessary.)
With Streamline®, applicators don't need one tank mix for foliar applications and another for cut vine applications, reducing the need to measure and mix herbicides and maximizing the time crews spend controlling vegetation.
Fast-acting Control
Streamline® is absorbed by both roots and foliage, rapidly inhibiting growth of susceptible weeds. It does not stop germination, but controls young, actively germinating plants with uptake and residual activity through both the roots and shoots.
Few other products have this double-uptake mechanism, which provides good control under both low and high rainfall conditions. For best results, apply to young, actively growing plants before warm, moist conditions are expected.
Application Tips for Success
- Apply Streamline® with a 1% methylated seed oil (MSO) in high volume foliar applications to increase leaf absorption.
- Begin application when vines are completely leafed out through full fall color change or first frost.
- Use sufficient water volume, about 100 gal/A, to ensure thorough foliage coverage.
- Do not apply more than 11.5 ounces broadcast of Streamline® per acre per year.
DuPont™ Streamline® herbicide is for use in non-crop applications only and does not have a grazing tolerance.

Current Research Interests
My 90-minute documentary and archive, Living Thinkers: An Autobiography of a Community of Women, explores the interplay of race, gender, and class in the experiences of African American women in academia. I intentionally use the term "autobiography" in the documentary title to draw parallels to the use of autobiography by early Africans in America, such as Linda Brent, as a vehicle to bear witness to solitary journeys that are also representative a whole community. Not only do the subjects in my documentary tell their stories, but they tell mine as well. As an African American woman academic teaching in predominantly white institutions, questions of power and privilege are posed in relationship to course material and in terms of my own existence within these institutions. As outsiders within, and as gendered intellectuals, academia creates what Dr. Johnetta B. Cole in an interview at Bennett College called a "chilly climate." Often fewer in number as faculty and senior administrators, but greater as lower-ranking housekeeping and food services staff, African American women's presence on campuses across the country, according to various interviewees, resembles life on a plantation. Through discussions about their formal education since primary school - what I refer to as their education narratives - African American women identify race, gender and class as dictating the quality of their education and the toll these factors take on their lives as intellectuals, administrators, and academic support workers.
For the archive, I will interview over 100 women from all ranks of faculty, staff, and administrators (upon occasion, select students). All interviews will be catalogued, used for museum installations and used for primary source researcher material. Select narratives will be featured in my documentary.
