NM2015FLYER. The Forum Legacy Grant Program Due to financial constraints, the Forum ceased operations in June 2013. So that the mission of providing ongoing formation for leaders in Christian initiation may continue, the Board of Directors of the North American Forum on the Catechumenate entrusted its remaining funds to the FDLC for the establishment of the Forum Legacy Grant Program (FLGP). The FLGP will provide annual grants to diocesan worship and/or catechetical offices in the United States and Canada to subsidize diocesan-sponsored formation programs for those responsible for Christian initiation in parishes.

173 Ball to Evatt
Cablegram 146 TOKYO, 7 April 1946, 4.26 p.m.
This afternoon I called on General Marquat the S.C.A.P. Deputy Chairman of the Allied Council. I told him that my call was unofficial, and I wanted to tell him privately of some of my personal reactions to General MacArthur's speech at the opening of the Council session. [1] I said- (1) that in view of F.E.C. resolution of March 20th [2] I was surprised that MacArthur had not mentioned that the draft constitution must be passed by F.E.C. before adoption and that MacArthur had made no reference to F.E.C.
(2) that I was interested to notice that while MacArthur had suggested that free public discussion might produce 'changes in form and detail' in the draft constitution he had not suggested the possibility that alternative drafts may be produced and that such alternative drafts should be treated with the same seriousness as the present draft so long as they conformed to the governing principles of the occupation policy.
(3) that I had noticed that the local press had played up MacArthur's statement that the functions of the Council would be advisory and consultative. I said that I felt MacArthur's statement on the powers of the Council failed to give a complete picture since paragraph 6 of the Allied Council's terms of reference [3] did appear to me to impose some limitations of S.C.A.P.'s executive powers and that some reference to these limitations might have been desirable in order to give the public a complete picture of the Council's functions.
General Marquat expressed friendly surprise at the points which I raised. He gave no indication that he had any knowledge of F.E.C.
resolution of March 20th and said he had not understood that paragraph 6 of the terms of reference implied any restrictions on S.C.A.P.'s executive discretion. He implied that his understanding of the terms of reference was that the last sentences of paragraph 5 overrode the provisions of paragraph 6. Will you please tell me whether you approve of my having raised these questions with General Marquat and wire me whether to pursue them.

I like this product, but only when paired with BE's Bisque. The Bisque covers up dark circles much better than Well Rested. What Well Rested does is add a little brightness to the undereye area. As with all BE products, it's important that your skin be well moisturized, or the product can get cakey. It's good to use a light hand with this product for the same reason.
I love this stuff. I use it everyday on my eyelids and under my eyes. The darkness under my eyes disappear and it last all day.
My first impression of this product is that it was going to make me look ghostly (I have medium olive skin). My undereye circles aren't terrible, but sometimes I need a little concealer for that "flawless" look. I found that this product DOES work at covering my undereye circles. However there is a major catch... I have to use a ton of product under my eyes to achieve full coverage. If I use a 'light dusting' as recommended by the sales agent, there is not enough coverage. One advantage of this product is that it is easily blended with the foundation (I use medium beige for reference). The fact that I had to pack it on under my eyes was too wierd for me. Also it tended to gather in the creases under my eyes... and they're not even big creases. After a while it would make me look powdery, not a look I was going for. I didn't try this on the browbone or inner corner of the eye, maybe I should have done that, then I wouldn't have had to return it... but oh well, I have moved on to MAC studio fix concealer which is a full coverage concealer and you don't need a lot to cover undereye circles.
I been using this product for a year now. I use it as a primer to my eyelids and also as an concealer under my eyes. As an eye shadow it gives me nice little bit yellow base and i like to think that my make up stays longer. As a concealer, it is not good alone, but it gives me good base for other stuff. ( Benefit Eye Bright & Amazing Cosmetics concealer)
This is supposed to make the dark circles disappear and yeah it does that... until it wears off 2-3 hours later. I like it because when you first put it on it helps alot and it does brighten up the eye area, i just wished it would have a longer staying power...
More reviews by sabrinafabbott
I had been using Well Rested for several years, but it has really started looking cakey. My skin is really dry and using minerals on minerals on minerals isn't working any longer. I have switched to a cream concealer (Laura Mercier) and it seems to be working better. That little extra moisture is what I needed!
Well Rested is a great concealer and it really covers flawlessly but sadly isn't for me any longer.
Would buy again if my skin stops being so dry, but I doubt it!
I received this as a sample and just tried it today. I use Everyday Minerals makeup and LOVE it, but I'm still having some trouble finding a really great undereye mineral concealer (I use a cream concealer and then set it with minerals). After trying this, WOW! It really brightens up my undereyes and completely erases my dark circles! The color looks odd in the jar, a medium green-y, yellowish taupe. However, it works magic on my dark circles! I will definitely purchase the full size when I finish the sample.
More reviews by ilikepurpleeyeshadow
Ihave used Well Rested for over a year. I feel that it blends really well with my BE foundation and covers my circles well. I also use it to blend out my eyeshadow right between my crease and brow. Great product!
I use Well Rested on my lids, as a highligher under my browbone, to cover the dark circles under my eyes. In fact, it's the only product that is giving Jane Iredale Active Light concealer a run for the money with me. JI used to be my favorite, and I still love it for traveling, since the brush and product are all one piece. But I love that when I am in a rush, WR is a "do-it-all" product for me, as I mentioned above (yes, most days I do not wear any eyeshadow!). I like the warm tone to the product; it really blends well with my skintone around my eyes. Definitely one of my most reliable products!
I just used this product for the first time today and I've got to say I LOVE what it does for making my skin look luminous. I have lightly tanned olive skin, and the result was short of a miracle for making me look, well... well rested! However, using it dry just isn't the way this product works best. I used my wet concealer brush dampened with water, dabbed it into the pot and primed in onto my hand first before 'painting' it lightly on my lids, inner eye corners and over my dark undereye circles. I even used it around my lower nose area to conceal small red veins. I did use it dry on large dark areas of my face just to even my skin tone before applying BE foundation, but for the eye area it worked best applied wet. I have yet to see how it holds up after hours of wear, but my first impression is one of amazement. Can't say enough about Well Rested. It really does what it claims!

Hafner English 4 PSU – Worthington Scranton Edward Cullen When I first plunged into the freshly printed, gracefully artistic book, my world revolved around a place called Forks and a mysterious vampire. Edward Cullen was suave, stubborn and savory to my mind. He became a guy I looked forward to reading about chapter after chapter. His words written on the pages filled my heart with hope that he could become real. As I finished Twilight, I followed onto the rest of the series, but Edward was already imagined in my cerebrum—his eyes, the color of melting honey that could pierce the soul, his chiseled jaw and his perfectly copper colored bed-head hair. Edward "chivalrous" Cullen found a way into my head as I flipped through the black inked pages filled with adventure, romance and suspense. My heart fluttered spontaneously as I read about his deep chuckle and the way the corner of his lips twitched into a smirk. Book Edward was created by my imagination and fueled by my love for his charming attitude. As the movie descended upon theaters, my excitement was hard to keep under control. I would finally see Edward Cullen or the actor playing the guy who stole my heart. But as the credits rolled, my heart wasn't as fulfilled as I had hoped. Of course the actor who played him had contacts to resemble melting honey but instead were more like the color of egg yolk. My mind complained that his hair wasn't how I envisioned it, and his Volvo wasn't what a cool hundred year old vampire should've been driving. The scene where Edward and Bella first meet in biology lab is poorly portrayed from the book's descriptive pages. Quotes from the text, such as "I feel like I've left my whole heart with you," that my friend and I recited daily weren't spoken by Robert Pattinson. The actor who played Edward looked constipated and hesitant in scenes that were supposed to make me giggle and bat my eyelashes. I often wondered if I should have ever seen the movie if my love for the book was so extreme. I complained about the movie for months, wishing and hoping that it was all a dream and that they would take it all back and create something superb. But I was still drawn to watch the movie repeatedly, and as I did I realized Robert Pattinson's crappy contacts and bad acting had wedged into my heart, leaving me to understand that the movie that I critiqued and complained about had won over my mind and soul. Since watching the movie I learned to fall in love with a different Edward. It is my love for Edward from both the book and the movie that made my heart still beat passionately and no matter the differences my first love to never wane.

In "Final Testament" players may run out of promethium in the first act. ALso in other supplements i read refernces to the range of vehicles. SO her's my question: where do I find this info?
I looked everywhere in the sourcebook. I looked in the Lexicanum. I googled. I don't find anything. There's cruising speed an such but not any reference to max range. Seems they just forgot that.

Don't forget that this Sunday evening 9/8 Central is the two-hour premiere of ABC's hard sci-fi series Defying Gravity. The trailer looks promising, and the show stars Ron Livingston (best known for the comedy film Office Space) as the dramatic lead. I'll be posting my thoughts on the show next week, and I hope you'll come back here and share your thoughts as well. Meanwhile, here's the trailer:

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Phantom!
Facts about Phantom
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black (Mostly)
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Male
- ID#: 4054819-Phantom
- Hair: Short
Phantom's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, and up to date with shots.
Phantom is everybody's favorite boy. He's super sweet, very jovial and always happy. Everyone claims he loves them best! He's so unique too--ll black with just a tiny bit of white on his chest and one white whisker. And his fur is so silky soft. You can meet him & others at Spaymart's new Thrift and Gift Shop at 6601 Veterans Blvd.
If you're interested in any of our precious felines, please fill out our preadoption questionnaire, then call our headquarters at 601.749.0268 or Email Us. You may also visit the SpayMart website at www.spaymart.org for more information.
All of our adorable kitties can be easily visited in the New Orleans area--either at Spaymart's new Thrift and Gift Shop at 6601 Veterans Blvd in the shopping center with T.J. Maxx, at one of our PetsMart adoption events, or at our Mississippi headquarters location. An adoption fee of $85 is requested for adult cats which includes sterilization, vaccinations, combo testing, deworming and flea control as well as microchipping.
Other Pets at SpayMart, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Phantom, a Metairie Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Metairie, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Metairie.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Metairie already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Metairie breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Metairie paves the way for another one to be saved.

HUTTON: Northwest Indiana's bevy of basketball talent on display and worth the trip
By Mike Hutton firstname.lastname@example.com Twitter: @MikeHuttonPT June 9, 2014 11:16PM
East Chicago's Hyron Edwards shoots against West Side during the East Chicago boys basketball sectional held at East Chicago High School on Wednesday March 5, 2014. | Charles Mitchell/for Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: July 11, 2014 6:24AM
LOGANSPORT — Mapquest says it's 75.2 miles from my house in Valparaiso to 1 Berry Lane, Logansport, Indiana.
East on Route 30, cut over on 35 for an unbearably long time, take a left on South 18th Street, go right on Jefferson Street, zig-zag through town, past the Eel River and some old boarded up industrial buildings before curling into a subdivision.
Logansport High School, home of the Berries, is on your left, a sprawling maze of buildings. The gym wasn't full for the Indiana Junior-Senior All-Star Game Monday, but there were plenty of people.
Probably 1,500. High school basketball, particularly in Indiana, is still as pure as it gets, even with the dog days of summer on the horizon.
There was one concession stand (hot dogs were a buck), people wandering back and forth on the sidelines, jumping into the bleachers while the game was going. An army of eager kids with posters, waiting in line in the balcony above the gym, were getting All-Star autographs.
It couldn't unfold like this in any other place: People driving from one end of the state to another end to watch the Junior All-Stars play the Seniors All-Stars. This isn't even the main event, folks, and it's still a big deal. We can't seem to get enough of this.
I don't have anything riveting to offer but I'll say this:
Matt Holba would look really good in a Chesterton uniform. Holba, who played for Indianapolis Guerin, scored 11 points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Juniors. He left Chesterton last year.
Hyron Edwards was born to be an All-Star. His lightning-quick release and his explosiveness are one of a kind. Edwards has been a star for the All-Stars, scoring 20 in the opener and 16 last night.
Davon Dillard falls into the same category. He was most comfortable attacking. He admitted, however, that he was tired. He finished with nine points and four rebounds in 14 minutes.
Drew Hackett is a dish, dribble and cut type of player with this cast. Whatever it takes, you know? Hackett finished with four points and one assist in 13 minutes.
Part of the duties for the coaches is to constantly check stat sheets during the game to monitor minutes and points scored. At least it looked that way.
Ryan Fazekas didn't play. He pulled his groan in practice Monday. He'll be healed up in a week or so.
Chris Palombizio played, but his action was limited. He finished with two points in eight minutes.
As good as Northwest Indiana seems this year (they have five players from the region on the team and another, Holba, who has Northwest Indiana roots), they aren't half as good as the Senior All-Stars. The last time the Senior All-Stars scored as many points as they did in an 141-90 victory over the Juniors was in 1998 when they won 133-92. The Seniors did all that with their best player, Trey Lyles, out of the game. As Tyler Wideman, who scored 13 points and grabbed 16 rebounds said, "we were expected to beat them."
By 51 while breaking the record for most points scored?
"We played pretty well," Wideman admitted.
Say this about the Indiana Junior All-Star girls. They are much better than the seniors. The Juniors rocked the Seniors 82-61 in the opening game.
Victoria Gaines of Merrillville scored six points for the Juniors. Nakeya Penny of Logansport finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
There is one more appetizer left on this road tour — at Columbus North — before the main event, which occurs Friday and Saturday when the Seniors play Kentucky in the real exhibition. The Indiana boys haven't lost to Kentucky since 2008. They have won 11 straight. I'd say they have a good chance of keeping the streak alive.

does any1 out there suffer from really bad leg cramps during the night which wakes you up and is so horrible it requires painkillers i wake up quite a lot with this sometimes in 1 leg and foot sometimes in both sweats are getting better now tho |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi beauty, how're you doing. Hope you had a good holiday and feel a bit rested. I'm actually quite glad to say I dont suffer from leg cramps during the night. I'm still hot and cold which is really bizarre. Some nights (and days) I just can't get warm at all. It has to be really warm outside for me to feel comfortable. I've been feeling quite good recently, but whilst I was out earlier I started to feel that odd light headed way I sometimes get. Its a horrible feeling and quite scary. It also comes with a pressure in my head. Not quite a headache but something. Its never bloody ending!! I've cut down my working hours now which is great and I'm doing stuff from home. I screen print and its really relaxing cos I don't have to put up with the crap from colleagues or customers. I'm hoping to do it full time and give up my job completely. We're off to Amsterdam for a week on the 19th. Can't wait. Hopefully have a hot holiday in August too. Could do with some sunshine. Keep well in the meantime and take care. I'm sure the cramps will pass. Susan |

Ian Gutierrez is a DC native whose desire for Cuban food led him to open OYE Cuban Grill; we learn what sets them apart from the rest of the Cuban restaurants in South Florida, some of their signature menu items and Ian shares some of the celebs that are making OYE their favorite local spot.
About OYE Cuban Grill
The unique OYE Cuban Grill is a relatively inexpensive, quick-service restaurant serving authentic Cuban fare that features Cuban sandwiches and platters as well as Cuban pastries and Desserts. The vision of the OYE Cuban Grill was created by the active managing partners – Hector F. Gutierrez, his son, Ian and Howard Rodriguez, the first cousin of Hector Sr. Their nostalgic Cuban history includes their family's past, their struggles and successes, their abiding love of the USA, and their siblings inheriting all of the indigenous traits of Cuban Americans now experiencing the American dream.

I feel so strongly about my experience at OYE that I am taking the time to post….It is my first ever review. My husband and I headed for breakfast this morning. Rather than going to wagons west we decided to try OYE. It is an understatement to say that it was a big disappointment. While the place looks modern and inviting, it was basically empty this morning with only one other couple, a father and young son. There were two staff at the coffee bar and 4 at the grill. Our food was frankly BAD. Starting with the espresso and culminating with the second try at the "a caballo". The espresso which was to be added to our milk for cafe con leche was watery…they tried three times and did not achieve the right consistency. It was more like strong coffee than the typical Cuban cafe which is so common here in Miami. Next came my husbands simple scrambled eggs, ham and tostada. Scrambled eggs are difficult to mess up…they did. They were so overcooked that they looked more like course meal. I ordered the eggs over a cuban steak or the "a caballo"…also an easy meal to season and prepare. My first steak was grossly under done. It has a fold which revealed actually raw meat…red and raw in three different areas. I returned it and they quickly brought another. This one was leathery, overcooked on one side with the other side having a custard-like layer of congealed mojo. The taste was pungent from the over done mojo marinade. I am Cuban and married to a Floridian. It was exiting to see a new, Cuban restaurant that seemed to be a modern, clean and trendy and quirky change. The ambiance brought us in but the food will keep us away…some of the staff seemed to be apologetic and did try to provide service. The cooks did not seem to know what they were doing and seemed more interested in conversing with themselves and some visitors behind the counter than in preparing a great product. The food was the worst Cuban food I have eaten in Miami….We will not be going back and would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It is too bad!….I would predict that unless the owners are present during hours of operation to ensure quality food, as is the norm in most small Cuban restaurants, that this place will fail within the year. That is a real shame after the effort that you can see they have put into the place. A real shame…hope it is fixed. For now, we will not be returning. I hope this brings them in to correct the issues.

i had a really good cuban sandwich from this place….
BUT, I would guess that the owners of OYE are aware of this interview with ChatChow and would keep their eye on it for reviews. As we can see, they don't. If I owned this place and saw a review like the one above I woulda left a reply for that customer asking them to contact OYE asap.

Hampstead Theatre, London
A white man is accused of raping a black woman; a black and a white lawyer grapple over the case. David Mamet's concise drama scrutinises the attendant issues, gaining mixed reviews on its Broadway debut in 2009, where James Spader and Eddie Izzard had a go in lead roles. This UK premiere is directed by Olivier award-winner Terry Johnson.

Time Out"Race' is a forceful but pathologically shallow night..." This is not to lay the blame with director Terry Johnson or his cast: indeed, Peters invests his character, Henry, with a battered humanity and gentleness he scarcely deserves. But he's the only one who rises above the painfully rhetorical...
The Telegraph"There is a genuine shock factor in the discussion of race..."
The play crams myriad ideas and provocations into its 80-minute running time but leaves its audience seriously undernourished when it comes to emotional depth...
Guardian"The play is moderately entertaining..." But structurally, the play recalls Mamet's much earlier Speed-the-Plow, in which a taken-for-granted woman outwits her male associates. Mamet still knows how to write, but is infinitely better at satirising the law than laying it down...
Whatsonstage.com"It's a bleak, uncomfortable message..." And one expounded in a brutalised language that is deliberately drained of Mamet's more usual zing, rollicking rhythm and irresistible swagger. There's nothing of joy in this piece. You want joy? Go see a musical...
The Stage"It's a compelling, heated, toxic mix but also a heavily abstracted one..." Mamet appears to have started with all the many themes and ideas this inflammatory subject throws up before properly fleshing his characters out and it is hard to see his people as much more than smart and articulate mouthpieces...
The Independent"The play, which proceeds as a series of blunt assertions and accusations..." Disappointingly bereft of Mamet's trademark jazz swing and savvy, street-wise humour, hinges on whether or not Lawson and Brown will take the case, and this depends on whether or not Strickland is guilty...
Evening Standard"It's confrontational without being truly challenging..." Mamet's dialogue has always had a distinctive terseness. Yet here the writing often rings hollow, sacrificing authenticity as it strains for a rhetorical style that is (intentionally) pedantic and (perhaps less intentionally) repetitive...

The continuing appeal of abstraction some hundred years after it was developed in France by the gods of art history — Picasso, Matisse, Braque and on and on — is both astounding and predictable. Astounding because, like hip-hop, it seems to be an inexhaustible source for newness; predictable because arrangements of color on a flat surface is a hard formula to beat when it comes to potential for visual appeal and infinite variations. Want proof? Consider how few ugly flags there are.
However, it had looked like abstraction was going the way of the dodo bird thirty years ago, what with post-modernism's taste for new media pushing aside old-fashioned forms like painting. So what saved it? It was the rise of neo-modernism, which took abstraction under its cloak. Since the dawn of the 21st century, neo-modernism, together with the surviving remains of classic modernism, has been a major rival to post-modernism, and this was a lucky break for abstraction.
This triumph has been partly accomplished by post-modernism itself, which has degenerated into the theater of the absurd at one extreme (think of MCA Denver sponsoring a buffalo butchering on the premises as though it were a performance piece) and a kind of hackneyed traditionalism at the other (imagine a typical McMansion).
Before accepting this victory, however, we've got to acknowledge that neo-modernism owes a considerable debt to the way post-modernism broke apart doctrinaire modernism, making the newer sensibility technically post-post-modernism. That is, neo-modernism has incorporated many attributes of post-modernism — like the formerly degraded idea of decoration — and converted them to new uses.
Some prime, real-world examples of this shift are now on view at William Havu Gallery. Among the offerings are two connected solos on the first floor devoted to a pair of abstractionists working in neo-modernism.
Joan Moment: A Question of Magnitude features an artist who orchestrates her compositions using circles. These dazzling paintings are from two distinct series, one involving all-over spatters of small circles, the other using big, bold ones. Though Moment has spent the past four decades in California, she began her career as a graduate student at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Once I learned this fact, I could readily link her style to the work of fellow artists who were there in the '60s. These include highly influential teacher George Woodman, then doing pattern paintings, and other students of his, including Clark Richert. Like them, Moment does programmatic work that relates to patterning, meaning her work is abstract but also has conceptual content, making it neo-modern.
In the '80s, Moment began to eschew brush painting and instead started to do what she calls "imprints." In this method, she covers objects with paint and then transfers the pigments to the canvas. Those precise circles come from the bottoms of bottles. Sometimes the imprint is left as an outline; at other times, Moment fleshes out the circle by over-painting it. This is similar to the way Denver's Vance Kirkland created his famous dot paintings — another link to the art of Colorado. Moment has written that these circles are meant to evoke various natural things from stars to seeds, but for me the paintings read as being examples of pure abstraction — and really good ones, at that.
The Moments that particularly stuck with me are those in which the artist has applied a taxicab-yellow ground and then scattered the circles, done in various shades, over the surface. The arrangements of the circles are clearly instinctual and present the principal variation in the series. In "Realm of Jewels," the circles seem to cascade down from the top; in "Jiggling Polarities," they resolve into two clusters on opposite ends of the bottom. All have a lyrical quality, owing not just to the lightness of the circular shapes, but to the blues, pinks, reds and oranges against that distinctive yellow, as in "Tiddlywinks I."
The second solo at Havu is Monroe Hodder: The Incidental and the Infinite, featuring recent paintings based on the power of horizontal lines. I've sometimes criticized gallery owner Bill Havu for his awkward pairings of artists, but not this time: Hodder's work is completely simpatico with Moment's. The two bodies of work come together brilliantly, producing a powerful atmosphere — as does the overwhelming odor of linseed-oil off-gassing coming from the Hodders. I was knocked back on my heels as I entered the place: It looks that good and smells that strong.
Hodder, who divides her time between Steamboat Springs and London and who lived in the Bay Area for many years, has had a long international career as a painter stretching back decades. She did her undergraduate work at Vassar College and earned her MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute. She has been represented in Denver by Havu since 2008, and soon after her debut at the gallery, one of her paintings was acquired by the Denver Art Museum.
The principal aesthetic device in this latest group of pieces — and in those shown previously at Havu — is the stripe. But Hodder executes her stripes not as pioneers of the type — like Gene Davis or Kenneth Noland, who crafted chaste sets of lines with thin and at times vaporous applications of pigment — but more like an abstract-expressionist would, with heavily built-up paint complete with smears, paint-outs, runs and drips.

By Mavis Thompson
In "Angels Come in Strange Disguises," Indian-born author Mavis Thompson reflects on how angels have touched her and her family's lives unexpectedly over the years in a heartwarming and inspirational compilation of life-affirming anecdotes.
"These are angels," Mavis Thompson said, "one and all, they are permanently on call. So, if you feel alone and sad, just call, they'll come to make you glad."
After reading a story in the newspaper about a suicidal man who was prepared to jump off of a bridge until a stranger approached him, convinced him to give life a second chance, disappearing before he could be thanked, Thompson was inspired to finally publish the collection of stories she has recorded for more than 20 years.
The stories were all true accounts of angels appearing to her or her loved ones and the mysterious and unexpected shapes and forms they take in our daily lives. !
They began with Thompson's childhood, when she was a sickly child and a mysterious visitor, Bishop Pakenham Walsh, visited her bedside and prayed with her. After he left, Thompson was healthy, and she later learned that suffering people all over India were often healed by the bishop.
Thompson believes, also, angels had a hand in her meeting her second husband, Michael. Thompson was at a dedication of a stained glass window in her church for her late husband, Peter. Michael spotted her and later approached her at a social after mass.
In addition to these deeply personal, affecting stories, the book also includes numerous poems which Thompson believes were channeled to her from Raphael, the Archangel of Creativity.
"Angels Come in Strange Disguises" is a delightful and charming collection of stories for those who love angel stories, and are inspired to connect with a more spiritual realm. Even more cynical readers will find their hearts melting at Thompson's moving accounts — some lighthearted and amusing, others more dramatic and poignant — but all unforgettable.
Readers will even be inspired to recall incidents in their own lives that, in hindsight, were not merely coincidences, but the work of angels.
Thompson's unwavering faith has sustained and inspired her throughout her life, and she shares these memorable stories with readers. Many of Thompson's stories stress that there will always be "light at the end of the tunnel" and to trust God will always send an angel when one is needed.
Thompson was born in India 1938. She relocated in the 1960s to Bolney, West Sussex, England, where she worked as a personnel manager for an insurance agency. She was married for more than 30 years to her first husband, Peter Kelly, with whom she has three children: Adrian, Deborrah and Sharon.
She and her current husband, Michael Thompson, continue to live in West Sussex by the sea.
"Angels Come in Strange Disguises" is published by Clink Street Publishing and is available online at retailers including amazon.com and can be ordered from all good bookstores.

I barely knew that there was a civil war in Sierra Leone until it was declared over in 2002. I remember seeing an episode of "Oprah" about the horrors women were suffering there: rape, murder, AIDS, extreme poverty. I knew as horrific as it was, I needed to know more. So I will definitely be reading the new memoir Bite of the Mango that tells the excruciating details of Sierra Leone survivor, Mariatu Kamara, who was 11 when her village was raided by rebel forces who took her prisoner. Her story is so unbelievable that you would swear it was fiction.

Making wine from sweet waters
Camissa is the Khoi San name for Table Mountain, meaning "place of sweet water". We have called our gorgeous, fresh Rosè wine Camissa as a reflection of Avondale's gratitude for the blessing of having pure spring waters flowing to our vines.
Grape Varieties
Camissa is made from 60% Muscat de Frontignan and 40% Mourvedre grapes. The vines are 26 years old, naturally cultivated and certified organic. They have a low yield of 4 tons per hectare of high quality fruit with intense flavours.
The Making of Camissa
The grapes were picked at between 22˚ and 23˚ Balling. The Muscat grapes were de-stemmed and left on the skins in the stainless tank for 3 or 4 days, with a stirring once or twice a day until natural fermentation started. The Mourvedre grapes were pressed as whole bunches, settled and fermented in the stainless steel tank at 18˚ to 20˚ Celsius. The varieties were then co-fermented and kept on the lees for 9 months.
Camissa's Character
A blend of two flavourful varieties, Camissa arrests the nose with rose petals, scented pelargonium and fresh red fruits of the earth. Hints of Turkish Delight and lemon zest attest to the perfect acidity of this wine; for Camissa may appear sweet but it finishes completely dry.
The image associated with Camissa is a rendition of the fountain sculpture in the middle of the Dolphin Pool at the Castle of Good Hope. In the late 1790's, Lady Anne Barnard made sketches and descriptions of the original Dolphin Pool. These were used in 1982 to reconstruct the beautiful fountain that once flowed with the sweet waters of Table Mountain.

Jones best BFL boater on Lake Wylie
LAKE WYLIE, S.C. — Boater Parks Jones Jr. of York, S.C., won the Walmart Bass Fishing League South Carolina Division Super Tournament on Lake Wylie with a two-day catch of nine bass weighing 27 pounds, 7 ounces. The victory earned Jones $4,518.
Jones fished in the midlake area targeting humps and using worms and crank baits to target his catch.
Rounding out the top five boaters are Jason Quinn of York, S.C. (10 bass, 25-15, $2,658); Andy Montgomery of Blacksburg, S.C. (eight bass, 22-8, $1,774); Matt Arey of Shelby, N.C. (10 bass, 22-7, $1,240); and Scott Hamrick of Denver, N.C. (10 bass, 20-12, $1,063).
John Weise of Charlotte, N.C., took home the Boater Division Snickers Big Bass award, earning $667 for a 5-pound, 1-ounce bass that he caught on a white Zara spook fishing docks and rocks.
Greg Clayton of York, S.C., earned $2,658 as the co-angler winner thanks to six bass weighing 12 pounds, 4 ounces that he caught while fishing a topwater worm targeting points and rocks midlake.
Rounding out the top five co-anglers are John Cook of Matthews, N.C. (three bass, 11-1, $1,329); Bryan New of Belmont, N.C. (five bass, 10-10, $886); Scott Peavy of Ridgeway, S.C. (four bass, 10-9, $620); and Kenneth Morrison of Waxhaw, N.C. (four bass, 9-11, $532).
John Cook of Matthews, N.C., earned $334 as the co-angler Big Bass winner after catching a 5-pound, 10-ounce bass throwing a jig targeting points and rocks.
Following the end of regular-season competition, the top 40 boaters and 40 co-anglers based on year-end points standings in the division will advance to the no-entry-fee Albemarle Sound Regional Championship in Elizabeth City, N.C., Oct. 9-11, where they will compete against top qualifiers from three other BFL divisions.

The top six boaters and top six co-anglers at the Regional Championship will also advance to the 2009 All-American presented by Chevy. With a total purse of $1 million, a potential $140,000 cash prize going to the winning boater and as much as $70,000 going to the winning co-angler, the All-American is one of the most prestigious and lucrative events in bass fishing. The winning boater and winning co-angler at the All-American also advance to the no-entry-fee $2 million 2009 Forrest Wood Cup.

Genius Style Tips From Celebrity Closet Confidential's Mary Alice Haney
And see the red carpet style upgrade she gives LeAnn Rimes on her Style Network special tonight!
Mary Alice Haney is a celebrity's secret style weapon. Having worked with stars ranging from the Sex and the City cast to Blake Lively (and everyone in between), she knows just how to upgrade a client's style while keeping them happy and true to themselves. Tonight at 10:30 pm on her juicy Style Network special Celebrity Closet Confidential, you'll get to see Haney sort through LeAnn Rimes' closet in order to get the fashion intel she needs to dress her for a red carpet event. The result is a definite winner: when the star hits the carpet in a stunning cleavage-baring Tom Ford white dress, it's clear this is a revamped, chicer-than-ever Rimes. Explains Haney, "In each episode, I take a great celebrity, and I help them have a real fashion moment. Going into their closet is part of the research I do—I go back and really see their fashion past so that I can elevate their fashion future."
We recently chatted with Haney about everything from why she loves her yoga pants to how to use your iPhone as your secret fashion weapon. Read on for her expert tips and then shop our mini-slideshow of the five looks she feels every woman ought to have in her closet.
Lucky: Whether a client is a celebrity or civilian, what problems do you encounter over and over again?
Mary Alice Haney: Well, I think that the biggest problem is that most people get stuck in a style rut; they sort of like things that looked great on them in the '80s and still think they look great on them now. It's a matter of evaluating—you know, your body changes, your style changes, you age. I'm someone that believes that women in their forties can still wear things that women in their twenties can wear, but she may not wear all the things that she wore in her twenties, maybe showing the midriff is no longer appropriate for you during your forties. The first thing is going in there and saying, "Okay, how can we use what you have?" In other words, shopping your closet. It's not about going into someone's closet and throwing everything out, it's really about going in and saying, "Okay, here's some great pieces that we can use and just add some new things on."
How often should people evaluate what's in their closet?
Every year, at least. Some women do it more, though If you have a tag on something after a year and you haven't worn it, you're probably not going to wear it. There are so many places now you can give your old clothes to—online, charity, etc. if your closet is super-cluttered, you won't really be able to find anything.
Are you good at eliminating things personally?
Oh, I'm terrible, but then again I keep everything. By the way, I'm never saying, "Get rid of an amazing Chanel jacket that you got in the '80s." Get rid of styles that don't suit you anymore. You know, every trend goes away and then comes back. Old becomes new again. So a lot of the Balmain that was on the red carpet recently – I wore that style in the early eighties. Some things to come back, like the jacket with the shoulder pad. It's just a matter of great quality. If you think something may come back in style and it would still be appropriate for you, don't get rid of it. But I'm terrible, I keep everything.
What do you do if a client won't take your advice?
The same goes for celebrities and real women. You hire me for my point of view. I'm not somebody's assistant that goes out shopping. I do research, I go to the shows, I know what's going on in fashion, I study the history of fashion. You hire me for that. I spend my days doing that. You're hiring me for my point of view, and you have to believe that with my twenty years at magazines and styling celebrities, that I know what I'm doing. If I have a client that really doesn't want change, or if I have a celebrity or a shoot that doesn't want to go in the direction that I want to go – I'll never just leave or fire them, but I think the greatest moments are the ones when somebody really does want you to transform them. It happens a lot, especially with celebrities, that they think they know what looks good on them. I would show them a million pictures and be like, "Nope, look at this, look at this, let's look at these moments in your fashion history and find something better."
Do you recommend people take a picture of themselves in an outfit to know if it looks good?
You can do that, and now, especially with iPhones, that's something that I always recommend. I've even done that for a party! I wore that outfit to your Lucky party, and I was in a lot of pictures, and later I was like, "Oh my God, that was so bad!" I mean, it was overkill with the headband and the sparkly jacket. But it happens to the best of us. It was so fun, but then it was just weird. Just not a good outfit. So even I do that! But if there's a big moment coming up in your life, it's really important to just take a picture and deal with it! You can really see the difference.
What one piece do you find that women struggle with the most?
I think the hardest piece to find for your wardrobe for me, and for most women, is a great pair of pants that you can wear with flats. If you're a mom and you want to run around and you still want to look chic casually, I think that's a hard item to find. Most pants are too long or built for a taller woman. I tend to wear my Beyond Yoga capri pants with a loose sweater and my Guiseppe flats, or my Chanel flats, because I just can't find a pair of pants that are as flattering as those Beyond Yoga pants. I think it's easy to go out and pick a really glamorous event outfit. It's much harder to pull off a really chic casual look.
Who have been some of your favorite celebrities to dress?
Blake Lively—you know, that was a real collaboration. She loves fashion so much and she is so knowledgeable about fashion so that was really fun for me. It's fun to work with someone who does as much research as I do. Who else? Well, I have so many friends that I work with, too, and I love to work with all of them—and I love doing magazine editorials. I loved that Sex and the City cover that I did for Marie Claire. I was really pregnant at the time and I was flown to New York and it was just so chaotic with all the girls there and trying to figure out what they were going to wear. We had four different covers! I also really like working with amazing photographers. One of my first shoots was with Mario Testino which was, like, an inside fashion shoot. I will never forget that one—first because I was assisting Polly Mellen, and second, because it was Mario Testino. That picture still holds up today.
Do you shop high and low? Are we as likely to catch you in J.Crew as we are in Gucci?
No, you're most likely to catch me in the Gucci store, honestly. I tend to shop high personally. I buy pieces and I will wear the hell out of them but they will be really high-end. Like, five from Gucci, five from Dolce, five from Yves Saint Laurent, but I do mix them. Same thing with my shoes—I tend to buy Christian Louboutins, Guiseppe, but I will mix them. J.Crew has my favorite t-shirts, so I will buy a great J. Crew t-shirt. I have a lot of great high-end jewelry but I will throw on faux jewelry or vintage jewelry. I tend to really buy for quality, something that's going to last forever, so you won't really find me at Zara.
Do you have any embarrassing fashion phases in your past?
I have a ton! When I first moved to LA, you couldn't not find me in anything but a midriff top. Like it was all about a black miniskirt and a tummy-bearing top. Horrible!
Can you tell us about a recent fashion risk you took that paid off?
The other night, I wore this beautiful old Gucci dress backwards. It looked much better the way that I wore it than the way that it was and it's great when you can end up wearing clothes the way that suit you best. For me, the dress looked better the other way. It was really drapey, and the back was more low-cut so I turned it around so the front was more low-cut.
Don't forget to tune into Celebrity Closet Confidential on the Style Network tonight at 10:30 pm. And read on to shop the five key pieces Haney believes every woman should own.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Here are your suggestions (please reply to this email with your vote

1. (Kamran) Shia-dominated Iraq as an option... dominating the region
with Iran in tow. Geopol constraints (Hughes suggestion)... also, does
a Shia-dominated Iraq work with Iran? Can they overcome Arab-Persian
issues? Will they institute temporary marriages as a norm, migrating
the practice to the West?
2. (Hughes) Japan and the PAC-3 missile... Japan getting ready to
revamp its forces, moving away from defending against threat of North
Korea due to the pressing of the econ crisis (by the way, Germany,
Sweden and the UK were all on the brink of a pretty big military
revamp before the econ crisis, but they all pulled back as well).
3. (Parsley-Schroeder) Obama putting terrorists in Illinois... flows
from the discussion of what Obama's strategy is. Face saving measure,
and at that one that inmates will hate. Leave the beaches of Cuba for
Illinois? Obama is crazy.
4. (Parsley-Schroeder) Attack in Puntland which is supposed to be
safer than rest of Somalia... Puntlanders are freaking out about
"foreigners"... Is AQ working it in Somalia?
5. (EURASIA TEAM) IRAN: Combination of US defense drills simulating
Iranian attack and Israeli Military Intelligence chief again restating
that Iran has what it takes to build a bomb. Add to this that Hamas is
talking about unitying with Iran and that China cancellet d the 6
party talks in order to distance itself AND that German banks are
freaking out about Iranian sanctions... Whew... It touches on
EVERYONE. Iran is the PIVOT. If ever there was the day to bring this
to light, it is today.
6. Medvedev dismissing senior official in Interior Ministry,
stronghold of Sechin and the siloviki... the purges continue.
7. Turkey making rounds in the Balkans, with the FM comparing Turkey's
role in Iraq to the one in Bosnia, even visiting Serb stronghold Banja
Luka. An opportunity to talk, from a geopolitical perspective, what
Turkey is doing in the Balkans. This has not really been picked up by
the world media... would be a good opportunity to pick it up from our

This story started out as a different kind of a haunting — a haunting of the mind of one of America's best-loved poets. But as we spent time examining it, we became acutely aware of some other presence living in the vacant boyhood home of Conrad Aiken, a Pulitzer Prize-winning American poet laureate, who witnessed mother's murder at the hands of his father.
Most of the times when there's a house fire the only people you see running in are the firemen, unless a chiold or beloved pet was left behind. In Columbus, Georgia, last Thursday, however, one of the residents ran back in risking life and limb to recue his beloved hoppy alcoholic beverages.
The eerie story of Savannah's Mercer House where Jim Williams fatally shot his lover, Danny Hansford, and died himself, not far from the spot where he shot Hansford, after finally being acquitted nine years later. Some say Williams died of a heart attack, other say from AIDS-related pneumonia, and still others whisper that it was Danny's ghost extracting his revenge.
The family of Kendrick Johnson cannot believe that their son's death was an accident, and new evidence shows that their suspicions all along may be right.
In response to a growing controversy surrounding the officer-involved shooting of Waycross, Georgia, man Jack Lamar Roberson last Friday, authorities have released the 911 call from his fiancée Alicia Herron. The call transcript indicated that Herron was not only scared for him, but of a police response to her call.
A 911 call and subsequent police shooting is getting national attention and stirring controversy after a man in Waycross, Georgia, was shot down by police following a 911 call from his family. The family claims to have called 911 requesting an ambulance to take her the diabetic man to the hospital, but police tell another story.
It's labeled Crazy Clown Herbal Madness incense, but it's not incense, it's a brand of synthetic marijuana, which is still legal in many states. Sold in head shops and convenience stores, the product is usually burned and inhaled or smoked, and has a euphoric effect. According to police, however, this time it's effects are dangerous.
Most 911 calls are frantic with dispatchers barely able to understand the nearly hysterical callers, who must repeat the same information over and over while waiting for police. This was not the case with Antoinette Tuff, who was being held at gunpoint by a school shooter. Her calm and empathy that day probably saved lives.
If you miss middle school, your best bet would be to attend a City Council meeting in East Point, Ga. There, a man was kicked out and given detention arrested for giggling.
Chad Moretz died in a standoff with police. They found his missing friend's remains in the wall of his squalid home. Now it seems that what neighbors suspected, and the Moretz family knew, police never even guessed at. In a case of violence begetting more violence, Moretz was not the only victimizer, nor his friend the only victim.

I am trying to find a low maintenance entry door in a 7' height. I have looked at fiberglass doors for the low maintenance aspect and have seen Provia and Thermatru. Does anyone have any manufacturers they would recommend? Thanks for your help in this overwhelming remodel. |

I would recommend Provia. If you are looking beyond them because you want to try and purchase equal quality for less, you won't be able to. Provia just came out with a smooth fiberglass door that runs about 25%-30% less than their steel doors. |

+1 Provia would get the edge in my book in that comparison as well. |

Dutch Architects Imagine a Waterworld Future
The Netherlands' obsessive relationship with water dates to the construction of the first polders in the Middle Ages. But only in recent decades have Dutch designers and engineers considered coexisting with water, rather than holding it back. The Rijswijk-based architecture firm Waterstudio, for example, has gained prominence as visionary designers of floating homes both locally and as far afield as Dubai, while organizations like the Royal Institute of Dutch Architects has sponsored resources including "H2olland," an online exhibition that explores new opportunities for a life afloat.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
This counter-trend to land reclamation is manifest less dramatically in De Groote Wielen, located near Den Bosch about halfway between Amsterdam and Maastricht. There, a new 4,300-unit residential development called Watertuinen will include an artificial lake filled to a depth of 14 feet with diverted rain and river water. In addition to creating shorefront for Den Bosch's most desirable housing, the project includes 40 houses partially submerged into the lake itself. Although construction has yet to begin, these so-called "Waterholes" are proving popular: the waiting list has topped 200 people.
Waterholes are not to be confused with houseboats bobbing on the lake's surface, says Maxim Winkelaar, who, with Bob Ronday, won the competition sponsored by the Bosch Architecture Initiative and the Dutch Union of Architects to design this component of the development. Ronday and Winkelaar proposed constructing a weighty 1,550-square-foot concrete box that displaces lake water to a depth of five feet, creating a "hole" that nevertheless floats on the lake. The young duo is now forming an atelier to realize its scheme.
When completed, the concrete box will serve as the house lot into which a slimmer two-story dwelling volume is inserted. Clad in cedar planks and glass, its ground-floor bedrooms and baths and surrounding yard will be mostly hidden by the box's concrete walls. The kitchen and public rooms upstairs will float slightly above the water line, with an adjacent terrace that can serve as a boat dock; the rooftop will offer additional outdoor living space. Winkelaar explains that sewage and electricity-grid connections will be housed in flexible, waterproof piping that divers will secure into place, and that there are plans to include graywater recycling to flush the toilets.
The Den Bosch town council "wanted to make an attraction," Winkelaar says, "and to make a point about what's possible." To this end, the Waterhole concept can be adapted to a wide variety of conditions. "In Holland you've got a lot of rivers that run very high in the winter, and very low in the summer. So in the summer we have all this extra land we don't really use." With some fiddling, Waterholes could conceivably settle or float according to the season—or, should Dutch and other waterfront communities lose the fight against rising sea levels, these attractions could become commonplace worldwide.
