Readers point the way to reduce repeat DUIs problem
Readers help point the way to actions that can reduce drunken driving.
Seattle Times staff columnist
Monday's column about two recent fatal car crashes in which three people died and two were seriously injured drew passionate responses from readers who want something done about drunken driving.
Calls and emails, some from people who've been part of the problem themselves, capture the complexity involved in preventing more such tragedies, and offer the seeds of solutions.
I want to walk through some of the responses that help point us toward what is most likely to work.
Let's start with John, who said in an email that discussions rarely include the perspective of people like him. John has a third DUI case pending.
He said he drives after getting drunk because he has to get home and because alcohol makes him feel confident, and because "there aren't many options for a designated driver. All my friends are drunks. We were raised to drink because that's what a hard worker does after a hard day." .
He said repeat offenders don't worry about the legal consequences because they're sure they'll get their licenses back, and that being forced to attend AA meetings can make them feel like "we are being bullied to change and a natural response to that is rebellion (repeating our stupidity). I hope this sheds some light."
Patti wrote that she was convicted of DUI twice. Although her license was taken away, she said, "That did not stop me from driving every day without a license or insurance, and many days I was drunk."
People like her, she continued, "need to get treatment that works" — something she eventually was able to find.
"On May 14th I will celebrate 10 years clean and sober. Not because of anything the state did for me. My church sent me to a faith-based program called Teen Challenge. I was there for 16 months. Three weeks of inpatient (I did a couple of those) does not even begin to compare to 16 months.
"The state needs to find a treatment solution that actually works." she said.
Roy, who also has 10 years of sobriety after having been a repeat drunken driver, took a different tack. He said it's too easy to avoid responsibility and suggested a mandatory one-year jail sentence for anyone caught driving drunk with a suspended license, or while on probation. He changed only after a judge said he had to complete 150 consecutive days of AA meetings or else spend a year in jail.
Their approaches needn't be mutually exclusive.
I heard from people who deal with drunken driving from other perspectives, too.
Chris, a former prosecutor and now a police officer, said getting Breathalyzer reports admitted into evidence consistently would make a difference. He said at present drivers can refuse a field sobriety test, and lawyers can get the results thrown out because of issues with the way they were obtained.
Jay actually has multiple perspectives. He described himself as a 26-year firefighter, a 30-year recovering alcoholic and founder of an addiction-recovery agency. Jay said the legal system is too lenient and that most recovery programs are ineffective. He believes we can do better, and suggested that one day all cars will have ignition interlock devices that prevent a drunk from driving.
Readers suggested adding the cost of such a device to the driving license or car- registration fee of the person convicted of DUI.
I also believe evidence-based treatment ought to be mandatory. Don't waste tax money on any program that can't prove its effectiveness.
Several readers said that because excessive drinking is at the root of the problem, solutions should focus on reducing opportunities to drink. Dale suggested that convicted drunken drivers should have a special stamp on the back of their driver's license. Merchants should be required to check licenses, he said, and prohibited from selling liquor to anyone with a stamp.
I think we should use the state law that allows vehicle seizure for repeat offenders, and jail people who ignore license suspensions.
Kimber Rotchford, a Port Townsend doctor who specializes in pain management, wrote, "Effective FDA approved medical treatment for alcohol dependence is available. With a shot of a medication each month I guarantee you we would witness less repeat offenders." That might be the best option for some.
The Legislature is considering solutions now. Let your representatives know what you want them to do. This is a rare window of opportunity because of the emotional impact of two recent deadly incidents in Seattle.
I heard from readers who recalled moments when drunken-driving fatalities rose to the top of the public agenda in their cities only to fade away as time passed.
There is momentum now for change, but if it dies without meaningful action, more people die will, too.

The Chinese pet care market, valued at US$1.3 billion in 2012, shows potential for the global petfood industry, with petfood sales accounting for just 37 percent of the provisional pet care market total, according to a blog from Euromonitor International's head of pet care research, Paula Flores.
China is home to one of the world's highest pet populations, Flores says, with 27.4 million dogs and more than 11 million cats in 2012. The country ranks first globally as a home to other pets, such as birds, fish, reptiles and small animals.
Increasing disposable incomes in China may also help the petfood market in that country. The percentage of Chinese households with disposable incomes of more than US$10,000 and US$45,000 increased four-fold from 2006-2011, to 36 percent and 3 percent, respectively.
Further potential in the Chinese petfood market lies in the fact that much of the pet population is still eating table scraps rather than prepared petfood, as the less than 10 percent of pets receive their nutrition from prepared foods.
According to Flores, international manufacturers, such as Mars and Nestle, are most popular with consumers in China, holding a 58 percent market share in dog and cat food. The main challenges for these companies are bringing in new consumers and driving more affluent customers up to purchasing premium and higher-priced products. The top Chinese manufacturers, Tongwei Co. Ltd. and Nory Pet Co. Ltd., on the other hand, accounted for just 2 percent of retail value in 2011.
Committees discussed key proposals such as a possible shift in the oversight of animal feeds
Public meetings invited comments and provided updates
The intent was to educate regulators and industry about the Model Pet Food Regulations
While petfood shoppers continue to show strong brand loyalty, pet products have not been immune to the store brand swing
There's a disconnect between consumers' confidence in petfoods and their knowledge of what makes the foods nutritious

French told to be more friendly as govt unveils steps to boost tourism
Published on Jun 19, 2014 8:34 PM
PARIS (AFP) - France unveiled on Thursday plans to boost tourism and said it needed to eradicate its surly reputation as its status as the world's top destination for foreign visitors faces increasingly stiff competition.
Speaking at the close of a national conference on tourism, foreign minister Laurent Fabius said the government had fixed a target of attracting 100 million foreign tourists annually compared to 83 million in 2012.
Accompanying him, commerce minister Fleur Pellerin said France would try and iron out inconveniences faced by tourists, especially in getting visas.
She also said the country needed to "recover a sense of hospitality" as "too often we mistake service with servility" and said authorities should use the Internet better to promote tourism.

PeacemakersPosted by Vawz under faith, justice, peace | Tags: peace |
[3] Comments
Another great word from David Timms
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."
~ Matthew 5:9
Violence confuses us. We fear it and we embrace it. It horrifies us and it entertains us. On the one hand, the thought of a violent home invasion scares the daylights out of us. On the other hand, we spend lots of money on entertainment systems and video games that turn violence into fun. We hate the idea of a physical beating but we'll watch as others kick, punch, and beat each other in a ring—strangely thinking that the ring somehow justifies or sanitizes the brutality.
The bloodlust of our culture has never been higher. Listen to the violent language. Watch the violent images. Experience the aggression on the roads and the fierceness in the stadiums.
And in such an environment, peacemakers—or even peacetalkers—are persona non grata. Nobody likes them. They're soft. They're weak. They're out of touch. Theodore Roosevelt's old foreign policy of "speak softly but carry a big stick" has become a common personal mantra. We're willing to talk for a while (perhaps) but always ready to fight when provoked.
Everyone knows that peacemaking is for fools and idealists.
Everyone except Jesus.
When Jesus honors peacemakers (for they shall be called sons of God) He calls all of His followers to turn peacemaking into a life pursuit.
The challenge, of course, is simply this: Can we be peacemakers while we share the passion for violence that pervades our culture? This advent season calls us to grapple seriously with this question.
The Son of God came into a violent world, without violence. He confronted the established order not with swords and weapons but with words. He came not with bloodlust but a willingness for limited bloodshed—just His own.
Contrary to some distorted views, the "cleansing of the Temple" does not justify everything from berating abortionists to shooting Islamists.
The ancient prophet Isaiah described the promised Christ as "Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6) Perhaps as we celebrate His coming we'll consider our Christmas gifts (and our values) with a fresh thoughtfulness … something befitting sons of God.

No DebtPosted by Vawz under justice
[2] Comments
fter four years in immigration detention, Masoud was granted a temporary visa. Then he was hit with a $264,000 bill for his "accommodation" in Baxter Detention Centre. There are hundreds more like him – experiencing unimaginable trauma only to then be slugged with an enormous bill for the privilege. Thanks to the efforts of caring Australians, like yourself, the bill to abolish detention debt passed just moments ago in the Senate. In an historic move, Liberal Senator Troeth, who met with a GetUp delegation of those affected by this policy, abandoned her party's position and crossed the floor to support the bill. She was joined, at the last minute, by Senator Fielding – whose support we will need on other refugee reform bills in the coming months. So often we criticise politicians for not standing up and speaking out. Now it is our responsibility to thank them for doing the right thing. With other key refugee and asylum seeker reform bills up for debate shortly, it's important that we take a moment to thank Senator Troeth and Senator Fielding who took the courageous move of voting on moral rather than party lines.
Click here to send these Senators a message of thanks: www.getup.org.au/campaign/ThankYou
Having seen the faces, heard the stories and seen the emotions of those affected by this bill, our politicians found it in their hearts to end this injustice. In no small part, the efforts of GetUp members, along with the support of so many refugee and asylum seeker campaigners across the nation, made a huge difference to the passing of this amendment. This change will see improvements in the lives of hundreds of Australians who simply want to get on with their lives. No longer will asylum seekers begin a new life in Australia under the heavy burden of hundreds of thousands of dollars of detention debt. www.getup.org.au/campaign/ThankYou
Thank you, Simon Sheikh National Director – GetUp! Action for Australia
PS – Masoud Shams, fleeing Iran, was given a debt by the Commonwealth of $264,000. Thanks to your efforts this injustice has come to an end. Use our simple tool to thank our politicians for ending this injustice by clicking here.

Koorong Fair Trade?Posted by Vawz under justice
Leave a Comment
Good News! Koorong open the door to dialogue
From the justholyhardwear.org.au mob…
Good news:
Koorong has agreed to meet with the Justice and International Mission Unit and discuss how to move forward constructively on ensuring ethical standards are maintained in the production of goods sold at Koorong.
This follows the National Council of Churches in Australia (as well as Victorian Heads of Churches) endorsing a fair trade in Christian goods.
There is still no word from Word bookstores.
Background info and more
To take action go here (Word)
Action Message from Age "In fact if you have a holyhardwear card or an action flyer with you could you please visit your local Word bookstore (everywhere in Oz) with it this Monday (or at least this week) and ask them to join in by contacting the campaign. This could be a great week for work justice. Slave labour for Christian product is sin."
James 5:4 "Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty."

Listening to the West Kimberley PeoplePosted by Vawz under Church, community, Environment, faith, justice, Life, Mission, Spirtuality | Tags: aboriginal, beach, cape leveque, derby, kimberley, looma, Mission, one arm point |
[12] Comments
With his arm elbow deep in muddy water Eddie looks up and winks and mentions that if this mud crab gets a hold of his fingers we had better watch out as we will all know about it! We were out on the Mangrove flats that the people of Ngamagkoon belong to. Eddie is part of the Sampi family, made well known by the Eagles player Ashley Sampi, a Bardi from the mob at Ngamagkoon.
The 5 of us began our journey in Broome 4 days previous. We were on what we called a "listening journey", as part of a programme I run called OnEARTH for Global Mission Partners. We were there to listen to country, to story, to legend, to the people of the Dampier Peninsula -
- Jawi
- Bardi
- Nyulnyul
- Jabirrjabirr
- Nimanburru
- Ngumbarl
Before the arrival of Europeans, the natural environment on the Dampier Peninsula provided plenty of bush tucker for the indigenous people. Creeks, tidal areas and the ocean are full of fish, dugong, mud crab and oysters and the vine thickets provide fruits and berries to make a varied and nourishing local diet.
Dampier Peninsula people still have a strong affinity with the sea and bushland, as we discovered along our journey.
After driving from Broome we arrived in Looma (120km S/E of Derby) with a population of around 400. We stayed with Natasha and Jamie Short, a wonderful couple who pastor the People's Church as well as look after the community youth centre. They are fantastic people. Jamie is a White fella from Perth and Natasha, an Aboriginal from the Halls Creek area. They have been serving at Looma for about 7 years now and have 2 great kids.
After lunch and a swim down on the stunning Fitzroy River we drove up to Derby to visit the Whites. Paul and Laurel White pastor the Derby Baptist Church among other activities. They have bought the Aboriginal Training Centre just out of town and have big plans for growth and extension. Whilst there we did some manual labor… we raked up truck loads of dry leaves (fire hazard) and were asked to remove the stumps of 2 recently cut down Boab trees- hmmm??!!
Laurel White looked after us while we were there. She is a great lady, she has a wonderful gift of hospitality and generosity! Paul, her husband and pastor at the church is a pilot and was away in Perth during our stay. Outside the life and ministry of the predominantly white church Paul and Laurel have some amazing relationships and ministries in Aboriginal communities.
Kimberly Aid - This business has began as a result of RFDS having bigger planes and not being able to access smaller community airstrips around the Kimberley. Paul and Laurel have got a bunch of medical people and pilots to donate their time to assist in evac when RFDS can't make it in.
Kingdom Aviation – Paul and Laurel run a 3 plane ministry that flies all over the Kimberley sharing their faith, serving the poor and running programs in schools, parent support group, and other training.
Dentistry – Laurel is a dentist nurse and in her work in Derby has made many an indigenous persons dentistry journey easier as a result of special favours and 'working the system' that does not always serve people from remote communities very well at all. Her willingness to make all sorts of tough things just 'happen' for people who otherwise couldn't get there was wonderful! She tells a great story too!
After 2 nights in Derby we drove 'the back way' on some very out of the way tracks to get to Cape Leveque up on the top of the Dampier Peninsula. Upon check in at Kooljaman we drove over the hill toward our beach campsite, as we rounded the hill the most amazing view was taken in to gasps from all on board – this place was paradise! Kooljaman is jointly owned by Djarindjin and One Arm Point Aboriginal Communities and sits 220km north of Broome. We visited one of these communities on the road on the drive up the Peninsula -
Some 200 km from Broome, there are two communities very close together with about 60 Aboriginal (Bardi) people in Lombadina (first settled in the late 1890's by Thomas Puertiollano who sold the land to the Catholic Church) and over 200 in the more traditional Djarindjin. We called in to Djarindjin specifically to catch up with Barry Ennis, the Principal from the Lombidina/Djarindjin School. We had heard through Sabrina Haan/ABC radio National that the EON Foundation from Perth had been helping the school set up a organic community Kitchen Garden. Barry showed us around the garden but was also good enough to spend time sharing with us the history of the the area. This community is not without some of the usual issues we read about in the media in remote Aboriginal regions, but there was something about the place that we all loved. We sensed a slowness and peace about it, a friendliness that drew us in.
On our first night at Cape Leveque (and every subsequent one!) we made our way down to the Western Beach and watched the sunset – undoubtably some of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen!
On Friday we went to One Arm Point community (Ardiyooloon). This community is the home of the Bardi and Jawi people who were the traditional inhabitants of the area. These people are still active in hunting around the local area and in most cases still using traditional hunting methods as they hunt for sea turtle or goorlil (we saw the evidence of a fresh catch along the beach!), dugong (odorr), and many many of the amazing fish (aarli) up there. They also collect the trochus shells and make jewellery, oysters, mud crabs and more. These people are proud of their hatchery on the point where they nurture all sorts of creatures in giant tanks.
Here at One Arm Point we stopped and and chatted with a wonderful couple called Brian and Violet Carter. Their son is the Chairman of One Arm Point Aboriginal Community. This lovely old couple can tell some stories! Brian moved to Derby as a pilot in 1956, later married Violet and have lived in One Arm Point community for many many years, to look at Brian you know he is not Aboriginal but to listen to him speak and hear his heart beat, you know he is on the inside! They both sat with us and shared some great insights into the local culture, politics, and … well fishing and tides :) Brian and Violet are both followers of Christ
and asked us excitedly if we had seen their 'church'. It was a roof and some poles with a piece of shade cloth they were quite happy with – we fell in love with these guys and their beautiful faith and love for life and one another.
Saturday morning saw us pulling into Eddie's place at Ngamagkoon, just south of Kooljaman. We had asked if Eddie could spend a few hours with us telling us about his people and their culture. He was willing and would even show us the basics of living in a coastal Bardi community. We drove out into the Mangrove Flats and went on foot (with spears) into the thick mud searching (and finding!) some VERY large crabs hiding under trees. After crabbing we headed back to the Melaleuca scrub (not venturing too far in as there were sacred ceremony sites in behind) looking for bush honey and pollen. With our ears against the trunks listening for bees we wandered through the scrub until Eddie found the right spot, cut it open and allowed us to sample the most
beautiful tasting honey and pollen (tastes like sherbet). Interesting, one white person we met, not knowing or respecting much of Aboriginal culture told us with some disdain that "Aboriginal people set fire to everything!"
But Eddie taught us that his people light the bush to thin it, also to make it better for collecting their fire wood, as well as for hunting the stuff in the long grass, such a different window we were now looking through! From there we went out onto one of the most stunning coastal scenes I have seen. The Ngamagkoon people's land has a creek running out into the ocean where they do much of their spearing and fishing from.
This site was one of untouched bush and mangrove reaching to long white beaches and crystal clear aqua coloured lagoons. After extracting our car from the soft sand we headed back to Eddie's place to bid him farewell and be told that we were welcome back to his country and community any time.
This time with Eddie was more than we could have hoped for and all voted it as the highlight of our trip that was drawing to a close faster than we wanted. We headed back to camp for one more afternoon sleep (a tradition we embraced…or did we start that one?), a fire with some reflections of our time away, and a dinner of local Barramundi, Kangaroo and … cow! Eddie mentioned that morning that there were a few 'stray' cattle around :)
Sunday morning, time to make our way back to Broome for a 1pm flight to Perth. On our return down the challenging stretch of unsealed road we took time to visit Beagle Bay Community. It was looking very nice and manicured after a week of political meetings discussing a report written by an old school mate Steve Kinnane. I read Steve's book Shadow Lines while we travelled this week. The book follows the lives of his Grandmother (a Mirrawong woman stolen from Argyle Station in the early 1900's) and his grandfather (an Englishman) through to today. What a brilliant read! (See below)
The Beagle Bay community is located 120 kilometres from Broome. In the centre of the community there's a beautiful church, built of stone from 1914-1918 by German Pallottine monks, who settled here around 1901.
On entering the Sacred Heart Church you can see a stunning pearl shell altar. Coloured windows create a special mood in the building. But, we forgot it was Sunday and church had already started and we had a plane to catch, so we missed the insides :(
The community's name was derived from the vessel "Beagle", which moored at the bay when the priests were looking for a suitable mission place in 1889, ironic really as this was the ship Charles Darwin sailed on. It was much of his work that was used to base most of the atrocities done to our Aboriginal people!
If you are wanting to connect and learn more with the rich lives of the first Aussies, grab a copy of The First Australians (SBS), or Read Steve's book Shadow Lines (2003, Fremantle Arts Press). One review says that … "Shadow Lines revolves around two people born a world apart, a half caste Aboriginal woman by the name of Jessie Argyle, and an Englishman named Edward Smith. Edward was born in 1891 and emigrated to Australia in 1909 as an eighteen year-old. Jessie was born in the Argyle region in the far north of Western Australia in 1900, and was taken from her family in 1906 under the newly created Aborigines Act of 1905. This book makes the often dry history of Western Australia since white colonisation come alive, and is probably a far better way to learn about the sordid history of this state than by way of the official history textbooks.

Not everything we saw 'impressed' us. Not every road taken in order to work among the people of the Kimberley would be a road I would have taken. This makes neither my road right or the road we observed wrong, just different tracks people take and our reactions to them. We went to look listen and learn from all we encountered, I trust this is what has happened.
Well I have to say that sometimes I love my job – last week was one of those times :)
Thanks to The Wembley Downs Church of Christ (where I hung out for the first 18 years of my life! As our new friend Eddie might say "they grew me up") for making this trip a reality and for those who travelled the journey Dennis R, Steve M, Matt B and Ken V – What a great a bunch of guys to hang out with for a week, Thanks!

Military watches for Shoalwater Bay trespassers

Defence authorities are investigating claims that four protesters have broken into the Shoalwater Bay Military Training Area in Central Queensland.
A Christian group opposed to Exercise Talisman Sabre say they plan to stay for as long as possible and intend to go into areas where live firing is being conducted.
Captain Brian Lewis from the United States Airforce says any unauthorised people in the training area will be handed over to local police.
"We're going to make sure that the area's safe and clear and if there is anyone in the area that's unauthorised, we'll escort them out and turn them over to the civilian police," he said.
"Well as in any exercise there are possibilities for dangers for anyone participating but our safety measures are in place to make sure the area's safe and secure for those involved in anything that could arise."
Meanwhile, two peace activists who were arrested after a protest against Exercise Talisman Sabre at Shoalwater Bay last week have been released from police custody.
Jim Dowling, 53, and 49-year-old Ciaron O'Reilly appeared in court last Thursday to face charges of contravening a move-on order.
Mr O'Reilly says the pair was granted bail but refused to sign their bail papers until today so they could stay in custody.
"We were refusing to cooperate with bail conditions and calling for further non cooperation with this exercise and we've been asked by other sections of the movement to come out of jail and to help with further non violent resistance," he said.

This stuff works!

Posted by Reviewer2669743 on Jul 20, 2010
Purchased at iHerb
I am already on a new Lifestyle of eating when I am hungry, stopping when I am full or ( not hungry) is kind of my goals. I added in Vital Wieght loss Xl, and all of a sudden it has boosted my weight loss! MY chiropractor said my thyroid was weak, but the lab tests from the doctor they told me were normal. I figured there was something going on with my metabolism. Within a day or so after starting taking this, I ovulated, too, and I have PCOS. This stuff is supposed to help Endocrine problems, and that is the main thing with PCOS, it is an endocrine problem. This also contains ingredients to boost the thyroid, and help keep water retention at bay! It works, but dont try it if you are just going to pig out, its best if you are already trying to lose wieght and add this to what you are doing, and you will probably notice a boost in your wieght loss!

Product actually reduces appetite and so less food makes me feel full. A weight loss product that is safe and works as promised. Sure worth a try if you're on a diet - it was for me. It's not dramatic, but eating less at a meal and not getting hungry between meals is a sure bet to reach and keep a weight goal.
The Best!!!

Working with a doctor for thryoid replacement therapy, this is the best product that helps me the most. I, literally, can't function without it. And iherb.com ships it to me so fast when I desperately need it. I wish ups was as efficiant.

Hello all,
I found this Word template for easy offline creation of Moodle compatable XML Quizzes.
From the site:
MS Word template for making Moodle questionnaires in XML formatQuote:
This template is intended for quiz creators like me who do not like awkward Moodle mechanism for quiz authoring and prefer familiar word processor environment. Besides, the latter way of quiz creation is an offline activity and solves the problem of demanding continuous access to a Moodle server.
Hope this helps someone.

Most artists would agree that painting in order to duplicate what a photograph could do is a betrayal of the medium. But if a camera can depict an object as we can imagine it, or dream of it, then it can probably be called art. This is especially true when Michael Massaia's work, on display through July 28 at the Afterimage Gallery (2800 Routh St., No. 141), creates a noir-esque effect that seems like it belongs in the world of Humphrey Bogart. The images in his exhibit, Deep in a Dream, demonstrate what can still be done in a darkroom sans Photoshop and memory cards, revealing a black and white Central Park lit only by streetlamps and city light. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. Call 214-871-9140 or visit afterimagegallery.com.

Conduit 2 is the sequel to High Voltage Software's Nintendo Wii First-Person Shooter The Conduit. Once again, the player is Michael Ford, a former Secret Service agent caught in the middle of an Alien Invasion set in the near future. Taking place immediately after the first game, Ford must travel around the world, engage in firefights against dueling alien factions, and try to wrest the fate of the Earth away from Mr. Adams and his supporters.New gameplay features include a nonlinear single-player campaign, a larger selection of weapons, individual character classes and attribute enhancements, and split-screen local cooperative and competitive play.This game is developer High Voltage's attempt at fixing the shortcomings from The Conduit. Instead of making the engine and actual game simultaneously, they focused entirely on the game. Instead of making levels with no planning, they made actual concept art. The respawning egg sacs, static cutscenes and exploding Drudge mines were removed. They toned down the hype, perhaps a bit too much - Sega chose April 19th as the date for the game's release, the same day as Portal 2, Mortal Kombat 9 and SOCOM 4, and Conduit 2 was released with next to no fanfare. The sites that did review it criticized the game for a short, disjointed single-player campaign and perceived deficiencies in the voice acting, level design and story but praised the multiplayer, which improved upon the original despite it already being the game's strongest point.
Conduit 2 provides examples of the following tropes:

A little about me...
I'm a retired commercial pilot, a retired fed, and currently a part-time cake decorating instructor. You know what they say about idle hands. I wanted a social and creative outlet. I am very close to my family and see them when I can. I enjoy going out with friends and entertaining at home. I cook and have guests fairly often, and have a crowd on the holidays. I am a considerate, caring and loving person. I've been told I don't have a mean bone in my body. To sum it up, I'm a lover, not a fighter.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am open to a realtionship that is long term, but am happy to start with a friendship and build from there. The man I am looking for should be interested in a monogomous relationship. He should be adventuresome and enjoy travel. He should also enjoy time with family occasionally.
I'd just like to add...
My plan is to spend my retirement time traveling as much as I can, going to all the places I couldn't go to or enjoy during my working life. I am looking for a travel partner as well as a romantic partner. It would be nice if he liked dogs and cats, as I have a small dog and a cat.

My Blog
Despite Propaganda, "The West Continues To Destroy Itself"
Today a man who has lived in 18 countries around the world, and witnessed collapses in many of these countries firsthand, warned King World News that "the West continues to destroy itself." Keith Barron, who consults with major companies around the world and is responsible for one of the largest gold discoveries in the last quarter century, also spoke about the ongoing war in gold and silver, and what to expect going forward.
Barron: "QE has been a total failure in that it has not produced the jobs and filtered down to the man on the street. The banks have held on to all of the money, in part because of the Basel III agreement. Basel III calls for much greater capitalization of the banks....
Continue reading the Keith Barron interview below...
To hear which company legendary Keith Barron founded, personally
invested millions into, and is poised to become
a uranium superpower click on the logo:
"So the banks are holding on to the money like grim death, just in case things go sideways again. This means the money is not finding its way into the economy. We know the velocity of money is very slow right now, and this is in spite of the artificial and phony interest rate fix by the Fed.
The bond market has also disappointed investors for the past year. So the US Fed and the US government have decided to let the stock market go berserk and this has stocks in a bubble right now. You see the Dow and the S&P hitting new all-time highs on a daily and weekly basis.
Against the backdrop of a roaring stock market, you still have 50 million Americans living on food stamps. We have also seen US municipalities go bankrupt. So the decision has been made by the Fed and the Obama White House to initiate a stock market bubble. That's where we are right now.
This has also had the affect of dampening Western investor interest in the gold and silver markets. Demand is still booming in Asia and the Middle-East, but it has slackened in the West. I believe investor interest in the West in gold and silver will remain flat until the stock market bubble pops.
When the stock market bubble pops, it will happen without any warning, and investors will be in a position to make massive gains in gold and silver. Some of these major mining companies have now become takeover targets such as Newmont Mining. Newmont has lost 50% of its market capitalization in the past year.
Newmont is a viable company that employs tens of thousands of people worldwide. The company earns money and pays a solid dividend and yet the share price has cratered. This has taken place with all of the major companies in the mining sector because it has become perceived as a place where you can't make money.
Throughout this bearish phase we have seen physical gold disappearing from the West. We are also seeing coordinated raids on the gold and silver ETFs. This has only hastened the process of moving gold from the West to the East. The bullion banks are also taking advance of the arbitrage in the price difference between Shanghai and London.
We have also seen coordinated short sale calls on gold from bullion banks such as Goldman Sachs, which were then followed by other threats such as Draghi pretending Cyprus was going to sell their gold. So the manipulation in the gold market has been extremely intense in 2013. This has meant that the UK vaults, which previously stored the Western gold, have been emptied.
This gold has traveled to the five refineries in Switzerland, where it was fashioned from 400 ounce bars, down to one kilo and 100 gram gold bars. This gold was then immediately shipped to the Chinese and Indian markets, as well as other destinations in Asia. So the West continues to destroy itself. Meanwhile, in India gold import taxes rose as high as 15% at one point. India has largely repealed these punitive taxes on gold because they realized that they were doing cultural damage by imposing these taxes.
The real question is, how is this all going to end? Well, you can't be shipping most of the world's gold from the West to the East without serious consequences. The Chinese have been rapidly moving the yuan front and center in terms of global commerce, and their intention is to make the yuan the strongest currency in the world by having a big chunk of it backed by physical gold. The Chinese are extremely secretive about their gold purchases, but it doesn't matter because the yuan is destined to be the currency of choice in terms of international transactions."
Barron added: "The gold market is the most manipulated market in the world. It is not free-and-fair in any way. Governments are also setting interest rates at will and this is impacting the housing, commodity markets, and every other financial market. But with a situation like this it is only a matter of time before the gold and silver markets explode higher. I don't know when the bearish phase in gold and silver will end, but when it does it will end with a bang. Meaning, gold and silver will turn violently higher."

Cockatrice (Final Fantasy)Talk1
this wiki
|Final Fantasy Enemy
- See also: Cockatrice
The Cockatrice, also known as the COCTRICE in the Nintendo Entertainment System version, is an enemy in the original Final Fantasy. Its appearance in the original Final Fantasy marks the start of the enemy's recurring appearance in several of the Final Fantasy games. They appear in a floor in the Cavern of Earth and the Mirage Tower, but also appear as guardians in the Sunken Shrine and the Cavern of Ice.
Its attacks are not strong, but they use a special attack that causes Petrify on one character, usually requiring the party to return to Melmond to heal. It is advised to buy Gold Needles in Elfheim before going to the Cavern of Earth, because they attack in flocks of several flying enemies. The party can be caught off-guard, resulting in a battle against eight Cockatrices at once. Once defeated, they may drop Gold Needles in later versions, which the player can use to cure the Petrify status.

In place of punishment, wounding, death, poverty, shame and rejection, Christ freely offers forgiveness, healing, life, abundance, glory and acceptance. In addition, Prince gives biblical grounding for five areas of deliverance that Jesus makes available through the cross: deliverance from this present evil age, from the law, from self, from the flesh and from the world.
Because it is not enough simply to know about the atonement, Prince presents the means by which you can make it true in your personal experience: repentance, faith and a relationship with the Holy Spirit. This new edition of a life-changing book includes a mini-study course at the end of each chapter, perfect for individual or small group study. Previously published as Atonement, Your Appointment with God.

LT4 Stars Out Of 5September 16, 2010LTI am in the process of reading this book. If you've never understood the purpose of the cross and what it means to you and me...then I'd highly recommend getting Bought with Blood: The Divine Exchange at the Cross. You will begin to walk in your authority.

Beth Peterson5 Stars Out Of 5August 21, 2009Beth PetersonI love this book so much that I have bought and given away at least a dozen to anyone willing to read it. It is on my top five favorite books. Excellent for a new believer, as well as a seasoned Christian that desires to go deeper with Christ.
Ranel Ferguson5 Stars Out Of 5August 13, 2009Ranel FergusonI never understood completely what happened at the Cross. This book explains in detail the total exchange of Jesus life for ours, and what blessings are ours from a God of Mercy and Grace. We no longer have to fear our failures, we fear God instead because we are blind but dependant to his awesome love, wisdom and power. God longs to reveal to us who we are in His sight and He willingly wants to share Himself with any hungry heart. Blessing upon blessings are now available to us through Jesus' ressurrection.
