5 Dividend Stocks That Want to Pay You More
Altria Group
If you're in search of investment income, it's hard to go wrong with Altria Group ( MO). The $75 billion "sin stock" boasts a hefty 4.73% dividend yield right now. Altria has paid out a 44-cent dividend for the past four quarters, and that payout looks likely to get a boost in the near-term.
>>5 Stocks the Smart Money Hates -- But Should You?
Altria owns an impressive stable of tobacco and alcohol brands. The firm's biggest name is Marlboro, the country's most popular cigarette brand, with a 42% share of the total U.S. market. There's little question that MO is dying a slow death; smoking is losing popularity domestically, and the firm spun off its international business all the way back in 2008. But the sticky remaining customer base and massive cash generation abilities help to offset the detractors. As Altria shifts its portfolio to more attractive businesses (such as alcohol and smokeless tobacco), it should shake off concerns over its staying power. Another of Altria's most attractive assets is its 27% stake in SABMiller (SBMRY), the second-largest beer brewer in the world. Alcohol, particularly the beer and wine segment, has been enjoying upticks in consumption and pricing in recent years, and investors shouldn't forget about Altria's exposure to the industry. In the meantime, MO's free cash flow generation should keep the dividends rolling in for investors in 2013.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Jobs has become one of the vast number of benefactors, who are impressed at the courage and inner power of the 33 Chile's miners. They survived 68 days being literally buried alive. Le Figaro magazine claims that the iPods are the "personal gifts from Steve Jobs." Now we don't have any information about its model, but we believe it will be a top-of-the-range iPod touch 4G.

Chronic Dev-Team Releases GreenPois0n Jailbreak for iOS 4.1
Today the Chronic Dev-Team released their jailbreak utility called Greenpois0n. There are currently two versions - for Windows and for Linux users. The team is working on a Mac version, so it will be released soon. Greenpois0n supports only firmware iOS 4.1, so use Limera1n if you want to jailbreak iOS 4.0, iOS 4.0.1 or iOS 4.0.2.
Remember: Do not update to iOS 4.1 if you need the unlock. Ultrasn0w does not support that baseband yet.

Pwnagetool for iPhone with iOS 4.1 will be released by Sunday
Hacker MuscleNerd has tweeted that the DevTeam plans to release PwnageTool for iOS 4.1 in several days.
For AppleTV 2G users, the goal is for PwnageTool to cover you by Funday/Sunday (but still very limited app capability)
This release should also bring jailbreak for iPod touch and iPad Mac users.
PwnageTool is a Mac OS X jailbreak tool. One of it's advantages is the ability to preserve old baseband, which means you can have firmware iOS 4.1 with baseband from iOS 4.0 (if you haven't updated to 4.1 already). And this brings unlcok, because iOS 4.0 is unlockable.

LimeRa1n iPhone iOS 4.1 jailbreak howto video
Engadget published a howto video of LimeRa1n - iOS 4.0-4.1 jailbreak utility for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad:
iPhone iOS 4.1 Jailbreak Released from GeoHot, called LimeRa1n
Famous hacker Geohot is back and today he released the latest iOS 4.1 jailbreak. It is called LimeRa1n and supports iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G, iPad, iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G with iOS firmwares 4.0-4.1 and beyond. It can also hacktivate your device, so there is no need in phone SIM-cards and other tricks.
This software is still in beta and was updated 3 times in last several hours. So use with caution.
There is Windows version only for now. Geohot plans to release LimeRa1n for Mac and Linux soon. You can Download it here.
Some users report that they have jailbroken their iOS 3.2.2 iPads successfully with limera1n, while others report that they tried, but failed.
Do not forget to backup.
For many users of iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 with iOS 4.0.2 now there is a hope to perform jailbreak using LimeRa1n and unlock using ultrasn0w. We recommend NOT to do it if you have not saved your SHSH keys. You can try, but if something goes wrong without SHSH keys you'll have to restore to iOS 4.1, and there is no unlock for iOS 4.1 (possibly forever). Just wait for PwnageTool utility.
DevTeam reported that Limera1n uses a different exploit than SHAtter, so they will not release SHAtter utility, they don't want let Apple fix both security holes. However they plan to release PwnageTool using the same exploit.
You can find our LimeRa1n tutorials tutorials:
Jailbreak iOS 4.1 with RedSn0w 0.9.6 b1 is now available for Windows
RedSn0w 0.9.6 b1 for Mac OS X was released a while ago. Today DevTeam created a version for Windows users. RedSn0w 0.9.6 b1 can jailbreak iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.1 running on iPhone 3G or iPod touch 2G.
You can download it here.
Redsn0w is easy to use:
- Download firmware here.
- Launch redsn0w 0.9.6 b1
- Select your stock 4.1 or 4.0 ipsw (you've already used this to update your device to 4.1 or 4.0)
- Select "Install Cydia" and any of the other options shown above, then click "Next". Use DFU mode to install the jailbreak.
This is still beta, so there might be some problems:
Any Windows users seeing "Waiting for reboot" for too long (more than 20 seconds or so), please try "shaking" the JB process by unplugging then replugging your USB cable (while letting redsn0w continue to run). Also, try using a USB port "closer" to your computer (as opposed to on your monitor or behind another hub).
As usual DevTeam reminds us:
That's because to use redsn0w at 4.1, you need to already have updated to official 4.1 from Apple. If you do that, you lose the ultrasn0w unlock (possibly forever).

Just because a man wears a suit doesn't mean he's trying to destroy peace.
The acting was okay, but the action was cheesy. That kick was horrible, I thought I was watching a bad action flick. And the big long chase scene did nothing for me.
Dialogue would have helped this piece in a lot more ways than showing us a badly painted peace symbol at the end.
This short is just not up to par with most others I've seen. I will say at least you were trying to convey a story unlike other pieces where there's just beautiful shots and no story foundation.

A review of Paul-pulation Bombby DJBFilmz on 07/07/2014This is my first story Ive read on here, and I havent read many books, nor do I know much about them in any sense. Reason for me telling this, is for you to know my position and knowledge of the novel style, whereas I mainly write and read screenplays. Anywho, I like this story, its simple, yet has an onion layer effect. I do wonder if it could be more visuals and less... read
A review of The Infinite Fluby DJBFilmz on 02/19/2014This film has a bit of a cerebral quality to it that I like. Also acting is pretty good. Weaknesses. Well the sound is very strange, whether it not being mixed properly or just because you didn't have an under tone track. Also your focus points where strange and the shots around the room didn't make sense for the story. I feel like there should be a reason for everything... read
A review of Snowflakes and Bulletsby DJBFilmz on 02/10/2014Overall: I think this is a decent script. Notes below. Your dialogue is the best thing about this. Way better than most. It seems real and the characters sounds different. And honestly a lot of people struggle in this area, so with that it seems you are better than most. Good job. Though I will say this You put things in your dialogue to show whats coming up next, doesnt... read

Ebay sellers unite
As ebay sellers, we need to stand up and be counted. We need to be able to leave at least a neutral feedback for non paying buyers. With ebays current system sellers can only leave positive feedback for buyers, ebay says you can leave a positive, but use your comments to let other people know of the buyers non payment, the problem with this is the buyer still gets a positive feedback on their profile and not all comments are read when checking feedback, with a neutral or negative at least you can look through comments to find the comments left for non payers by the seller. So if you are like me and sick of this please sign this petition and make it worth our while to continue selling on ebay. Thank you Robert Brunt

'Fed Up,' 'Pumpkinhead' and 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' Are Among the Best New Blu-ray/DVD Releases of the Week
Features By Rob Hunter on September 9, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! If you see something you like, click on the title to buy it from Amazon. Captain America: The Winter Soldier Steve Rogers/Captain America (Chris Evans) is still trying to fit in to the modern world while working for SHIELD on a regular basis. His latest mission leads to yet another conflict with Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) over his and SHIELD's priorities and methods in fighting the war on terror. Rogers thinks criminals should be punished after a crime has been committed, but Fury says they can't afford to wait that long. The arrival on scene of a mysterious and legendary assassin, the Winter Soldier, shakes things up even further, and soon Captain America is fighting not only for the lives of millions but for his past, his integrity, and every core belief he holds dear. I usually reserve the "Pick of the Week" spot for a great title in need of more press, but hot damn do I love this flick. If you've followed my reviews here over the years you know I'm no easy mark for Marvel or other big movies, but there's not a dull minute to be found here between the expertly crafted action sequences, plot revelations lifted equally out of the comic books and the New York Times, character moments and legitimately funny laughs. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is big, spectacular entertainment that manages to stay grounded even as the action turns to explosive spectacle. It's the kind of summer […]
'The Final Member,' 'The LEGO Movie' and 'The Grand Budapest Hotel' Are the Best New DVD/Blu-ray Releases This Week
Features By Rob Hunter on June 17, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! If you see something you like, click on the title to buy it from Amazon. Ernest & Celestine Celestine is a young mouse still learning the ways of the world, and part of her ongoing education is learning that the bears who live on the surface above the subterranean city the mice call home are vicious, mean and constantly intent on eating any mouse they come across. She's never met one, but she sees no reason why mice and bears can't be friends. She finds her opinion challenged when one of her excursions up top brings her in contact with a bear named Ernest, and soon the two are on an adventure that goes against all the laws of both bear and mouse society. This French award-winner is a whimsical delight from beginning to end as it tells a sweet tale of friendship that doubles as a metaphor for inter-species relations. Maybe I read too much into that part, but it does work as a story about celebrating commonalities instead of fearing differences, and in that regard it's a big success. The soft animation, complete with unfinished lines and watercolor stylings, creates an immersive and warm world, and scenes like the duo's garbage can meet-cute and a wonderfully chaotic chase with police show a diversity that the style handles with equal strength. See it with the bear (or mouse) in your life. [Blu-ray/DVD extras: Making of, animatic, interview]
The Best Blu-ray & DVD Releases of the Week – 'Stories We Tell,' 'A Bay of Blood,' 'Cockneys vs Zombies' and More
Features By Rob Hunter on September 3, 2013 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Stories We Tell Sarah Polley, best known for her work both in front of and behind the camera for feature films, turns her eye onto her own family in documentary form as she explores a part of their history from varying perspectives. Through interviews and home videos she goes back in time to explore her parents lives, her own childhood, and a secret they all think they know. What starts as a focus on a mystery becomes something more as stories, recollections, and memories differ from person to person. In a year filled with fantastic and powerful documentaries, Polley's film remains the warmest and most wondrous thanks both to the content and the film's structure. She's on this journey with us, equally unsure of her own motivations and delighted by the results. It's a personal story, even her family members wonder why anyone else would care, yet it speaks to a universal truth about how we share our stories and make them our own. Each person has their own tale as well as a piece of everyone else's, and it's amazing to see them play out onscreen. Plus, the stinger here puts Marvel films to shame. [DVD extras: Trailer]
The Week Where Mario Bava's 'Kidnapped' Trumps 'Bullet to the Head,' 'Evil Dead' and 'Solomon Kane'
Features By Rob Hunter on July 16, 2013 | Comments (1)Welcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Kidnapped Four men weighed down with stolen loot try to make their escape, but when one of their own is gunned down the remaining three take hostages in their bid for freedom. They end up in a car with a woman, a man, and the man's son as they force the hostages to drive them out of the city. As the hours tick by the tension builds as to what will happen and who will survive the getaway. Director Mario Bava took a break from his usual horrific fare to make this tight and somewhat claustrophobic thriller, and the result is one of his most entertaining films. Much of the movie is a fairly traditional setup that puts in place certain expectations, but Bava and writer Alessandro Parenzo are far more interested in subversion and true suspense than they are in fulfilling cliches. The ending alone makes this one worth seeing, and the film itself is a nearly lost gem worth owning. It also doesn't hurt that Kino Classics' Blu-ray transfer is absolutely stunning. [Blu-ray extras: Trailers]
The One With Bruce Willis, Freddy Krueger, Barry Levinson, The Governor, The Miz and a French Quadriplegic
Features By Rob Hunter on March 4, 2013 | Comments (2)Welcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. The Intouchables Philippe (François Cluzet) is a wealthy quadriplegic in need of a full-time caretaker. The list of applicants is long, but it's a lower class Senegalese immigrant named Driss (Omar Sy) who gets the job because Phillipe wants someone who won't look at him with pity. The relationship is bumpy at first, but the pair become fast friends through mutual respect and a shared sense of humor. Writer/directors Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano based their film on a true story, and while the subject of Philippe's reality could very easily have made for a sappy melodrama, they wisely avoided that route. Instead the movie finds real humor and compassion in the developing friendship and the effect it has on these two lives. The script is surprisingly funny and never maudlin, and both leads show spectacular chemistry and personality. [DVD extras: None]
'Adventure Time,' 'Regular Show,' and the Good New Days of Children's TV
Channel Guide By Amber Humphrey on April 26, 2012 | Comments (1)Darkwing Duck, Doug, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Rocko's Modern Life, X-Men, Pepper Ann. The '90s were the best time for animated children's programming, right? But, of course, I was a kid in the '90s, so I'm biased. If I'd grown up in the '80s I'd probably cite Thundercats, Jem, and He-Man as examples of how that decade was killing it and think the crap that all of the little jerks in the '90s were watching lacked soul or guts or whatever. Until recently, my 20-somethingness had caused me to be totally dismissive of contemporary cartoons. I know, it's a really odd thing to be pretentious about but in a lot of cases—in fact, most cases—it was warranted. But then I watched Regular Show and Adventure Time, two Cartoon Network animated series that have been getting a lot of love from kids and adults alike, and now I'm begrudgingly starting to think that I've been completely wrong about the '90s.
This Week In DVD: Elmo, a Double Shot of Cartoon Network and a War Horse Named Shirley Temple
Features By Rob Hunter on April 3, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWelcome back to This Week In DVD! It's a fairly calm release week, but there are a few recognizable titles hitting shelves including Steven Spielberg's cheesy War Horse and the universally acclaimed film about a man famous for sticking his hand inside a felt anus, Being Elmo. Lesser known releases include a couple Cartoon Network shows, Bob Newhart's unfortunate TV swan song, two European imports worth your time and more. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Tyrannosaur Joseph (Peter Mullan) leads a sad, lonely life punctuated with bouts of alcohol-fueled violence, but when he meets a charitable woman named Hannah (Olivia Colman) he discovers his humanity may yet be salvageable. "An animal can only take so much punishment and humiliation before it snaps, fights back," he says at one point. "It's just nature." Paddy Considine wrote and directed this, his feature debut, and it's clearly a personal tale inspired by the people and places he's known. It's a bleak, tough watch at times, but Considine surprises with a wise and unexpected ending.

Producing Effective Video Documentation
Matt Sullivan
What does it mean to produce video documentation, anyway? What makes it effective? There are a number of tools, methods, and production techniques that make up the answer to that question. Depending on who has requested the video documentation, how will it be used, and the timeframe and expense to accomplish the project, you might be "asked" to produce the video using:
- a video or webcam with QuickTime or other software
- a tool for enhancing PowerPoint presentations like Adobe/Articulate Presenter products
- screencasts or webinar recording software like Connect, WebEx, or GoToMeeting
- interactive simulation software like Captivate
- working with interactive 3D
This six-week course provides exposure to each of these methods, with best practices provided by Matt Sullivan, who teaches video techniques and technical communication online as a core part of his business. In addition to the topics listed above, you will learn proper techniques for audio recording and editing, video lighting, and publishing to a variety of servers and formats.
Session Descriptions
Session 1: Discussion of video documentation styles and optimizing audio setup
In this initial session, we will see examples of each of the video techniques presented in sessions 2-6. We will discuss the needs of individual attendees, and explore the options available.
Session 2: Video lighting, video blogs using popular webcam recording options
Many laptops and displays have integrated webcams, and webcams give you an easy way to personalize content with recorded video. In this session we will look at practical lighting solutions that will improve the quality and professionalism of your webcam video.
Session 3: Enhanced PowerPoint and scenario-based training with audio and video
Let's face it: PowerPoint is everywhere, and not likely to go away soon! In this session we'll see how a PowerPoint plug-in like Adobe Presenter can quickly produce professional recorded presentations, including "talking head" video, custom intro clips, titles, and other branding options. (This software demonstration is not a Presenter training class.)
Session 4: Screencasting and webinars
Screen recording, or screencasting, is a popular way to demonstrate computer functions to a new audience. In this session we'll look at options for recording activity offline, and look at options for reusing webinar video content as part of a training and documentation effort. Adobe Presenter and Apple QuickTime Player will be used in demonstrations.
Session 5: Demonstrations and simulations
Different than screencasting, demonstrations/simulations are more professionally presented to the end user. In this session we will discuss best practices for creating demos and simulations, using Adobe Captivate as your software recording tool. (This software demonstration is not a Captivate training class.)
Session 6: 3D and wrap-up/review of topics and projects
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then what is a working 3D model worth?! In this session we will look at how U3D files can enhance documentation and provide a rich experience for the end user. We will use Adobe FrameMaker to place a U3D file, and automatically create links for the existing views and animations contained in the file. Students will be able to download the final PDF to experience the file firsthand.
We will also wrap up and review the different video techniques discussed in class and discuss student successes and challenges encountered while implementing the techniques learned.

Help! It has been in the low teens in zone 6 and when I put a gallon of veggie scraps into my black plastic bin yesterday, I noted three 2-3" holes. The bin is one I have used for several years in various garden sites. Our house is 100' away and it is made of insulated concrete with brick exterior. No shed within 500'. Garden area is in an open hayfield.
Was thinking of taking a quart of ammonia and dousing the holes or would anyone rec a slurry of cayenne pepper? The compost material is crusted/frozen on top. Whenever spring comes, I am considering laying pans of Pepsi nearby (sheltered), so if there are rats, they will meet their demise as they cannot burp. cella jane KY/6 |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sounds futile if you live near a field. The rat population is probably high enough that nothing is going to stop their trying to get into the compost pile for whatever goodies may await. Why not just have an open bin (sounds like you have plenty of space) and let the rats play around? As long as the pile is far from the house I would not think there would be a concern about the rats entering the house. |
Might be a rat, more likely a field mouse or squrrel. What tracks lead into the holes? If there are none now whatever made the holes in the compost are not there and pouring ammonia is a waste of time, energy, and money. If there are tracks, indicating use,a trap may be a much better option. I have never heard of that use of soda but I can think of no better use for soda than that, except it does not work any more than rice, or other expanding grain, or baking soda does to ants. |
If you really want to keep them out, which I personally would prefer to do, more for the danger of diseases like leptospirosis, etc., which your dog(s) as well as you can get, then using traps, or sprinkling ground cayenne pepper in front of the holes or dried mint leaves, might work. I know the cayenne will keep squirrels out of my bird feeders - I mix it with the seed in the storage container. And I have been told, and tried in my brother's tackroom (until he got a cat), that essential oil of peppermint mixed with water and sprayed several times a week around the area will keep mice out. The drawback is you have to keep doing it. But, if you are going out to your compost pile several times a week with scraps anyway, then using something each time to keep the beasties away won't be a problem. You can also try using rat traps, if you can think of a bait that won't also attract dogs - I would toss the carcasses off into the field, using washable or disposable gloves - and let their "friends" take care of them. If, that is, your dogs don't also patrol the field, when I would wrap the carcasses in newspaper or a plastic bag and toss them in the garbage. |

Up here in PA woods, our problem was with skunks who like grubs and worms in the compost. I line sides and bottom of plastic composter bin with hardware cloth (like chicken wire but smaller holes and very sharp on little claws or teeth). No critters in there now except worms, who get through mesh with no problem. |

Same problem here last summer. we start to water the pin regularly & keep it wet. The water will help the mulch developing & keep the rats or field mice away. |
I have heard that mice are repelled by mint. I think it was that wonderful book, 'Carrots Love Tomatoes'. Same would go for rats and other rodents do you think? |

Environment Canada developed the UV Index to inform Canadians about the strength of the sun's UV (ultraviolet) rays. UV rays can cause sunburns, eye cataracts, skin aging and skin cancer. The higher the UV Index number, the stronger the sun's rays, and the greater the need to take precautions. The table below outlines the sun protection actions recommended at different levels of the UV Index.
UV Index | Description | Sun Protection Actions |
0-2 | Low |
3-5 | Moderate |

A new white paper from SafeGov recommended ways for agencies to move to an integrated cloud and cyber approach and away from one that is fragmented and ad hoc in many respects. Karen Evans, a co-author of the report and a former Office of Management and Budget administrator for e-government and IT, said agencies need a clearer picture of how this integration could happen.

Bill Lively was named the 2014 Santa Clarita Valley Man of the Year and Cheryl Gray was named the 2014 Santa Clarita Valley Woman of the Year on Friday night at the Hyatt Regency Valencia. The 48th Annual Premier Volunteer Recognition Event was held to honor the 29 men and women nominated by Santa Clarita Valley nonprofits for the honor.
Lively, an attorney and founder of the Law Offices of William R. Lively & Associates, was nominated by Santa Clarita Valley Senior Center.
Gray, a property manager, was nominated by the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Clarita Valley.
Sarah Eaton sings in the winners
The naming of the 2014 SCV Man and Woman of the Year is a closely guarded secret by the SCV Man and Woman of the Year Committee. The committee is made up of past winners of the SCV Man and Woman of the Year honor.
Each of the winners was "sung" in by Sarah Eaton, who sang "It Had To Be You" to a surprised Gray and then sang "You Made Me Love You" to announce Lively's win.
The tables were turned on Lively who has "sang in" in the winners in the past.
A stunned Gray said she was "shocked" at the honor.
"My flabber is gasted," said Lively.
Honorees receive recognition
After dinner both honorees were seated onstage to receive their awards and tributes.
Videos, crafted by SCVTV and KHTS, were shown that told Gray's and Lively's life stories.
Diane Fiero, operating board president of the Boys & Girls Club of SCV, introduced a special video made by the Boys & Girls Club to celebrate Gray's win.
The video showed Jim Ventress, chief professional officer of the Club, walking through the club's Newhall Facility to the song "Happy" as students in the club danced and held up signs saying, "Congratulations Cher."
Lively was lauded by Rachelle Dardeau, executive director of the SCV Senior Center, for his work supporting the Center.
"I am honored to be here to acknowledge Bill Lively's commitment and contribution to public service." said Dardeau.
After the tributes the honorees were able to address the audience.
"After five years of nominations I was beginning to feel a little like Susan Lucci," said Gray. "There were so many great nominees this year."
Gray thanked her family, the Boys & Girls Club of SCV and other nonprofits where she has volunteered.
"Volunteer work has given me great satisfaction," she said. "I have also met many wonderful people and made true and lasting friends."
Lively said he was "astonished" at the honor.
"One of the cool things about this is that I get to see my family all here in one room," he said. "I will spend the rest of my life living up to this award. From the bottom of my heart I thank you for this, this means a lot to me."
The duo was also presented with numerous certificates of recognition from state and local dignitaries.
The 2013 Man and Woman of the Year, Steve Sturgeon and Elizabeth Hopp, were the co-chairs of this year's event.
More about the honorees
Lively has been involved with the Senior Center for 10 years, the Rotary Club of Santa Clarita for 25 years and a member of the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce for more than 30 years. He's also been on the SCV Food Pantry's Board of Directors, a trustee for the College of the Canyons Foundation, on the board for Family Promise and involved with the Santa Clarita Valley Arts Council.

Pardon me, readers. This is usually where I make a distinction to point out the fact that most of the world calls its favorite sport football. (We do that in America too, but it's a different football, and we call everyone else's football "soccer.") That isn't important. What is important is that Square Enix thinks that the image below is the best way to advertise its new game, Champ Man 15.
With college football nearly over and the NFL ending just a month or so afterwards, pigskin fans are... oh, wait. This is the other kind of football. Sega's Football Manager franchise has long enabled obsessive compulsive soccer fans to live out their somewhat sedate dreams of managing a pro club. It looks like the developer is giving the handheld versions the same yearly release cycle that the console and PC games enjoy - as well as a nice price bump up to $9.99.

The Fortieth Day Commemoration of Pope Shenouda
On 25 April, as the Coptic Orthodox Church solemnly marked the fortieth day after the death of His Holiness Pope Shenouda III with prayers throughout the world, and a Special Service in St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Cairo, the British Orthodox Church throughout the United Kingdom joined them in this solemn commemoration.
In a letter sent to His Eminence Metropolitan Bakhomious, the Patriarchal locum tenens, Abba Seraphim wrote, "As today marks the fortieth day after the death of our beloved father, Pope Shenouda III, I wanted to assure you that the clergy and people of the British Orthodox stand alongside their brethren in Egypt in prayers for his repose. He was to us a very special father when he welcomed the British Orthodox Church back to its roots in the Oriental Orthodox family of churches and gave us encouragement and support for our mission to bring the Orthodox Faith to the British people. For this reason he will always have a very special place in our hearts.
As the Church now prepares herself for the task of discerning the Lord's will for the future and finding a new shepherd to sit upon the Throne of St. Mark, we assure you of our prayers for the heavy responsibilities you have been given, asking that Almighty God will grant you strength and wisdom in the exercise of your duties. Once again, our prayers are joined with our brethren in Egypt that the widowhood of the Church of Alexandria will not be long and that we may enjoy the blessing of a new Pope chosen by the hand of God."
On the eve of the fortieth day, Abba Seraphim gave a special interview about Pope Shenouda, which is now available on British Orthodox TV.
Holy Week and Pascha
The traditional services of Holy Week and Pascha were observed by the British Orthodox churches and missions during the past week and reports indicate that they were all well supported. Father Simon Smyth reported that services were held in the three South Coast communities of Southampton, Portsmouth and Bournemouth from Palm Sunday evening to Holy Wednesday but thereafter came together at the Church in Bournemouth for Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Pascha Eve. Representing the local 'Churches Together' Father Robin Nash, priest in charge of St. Luke Winton, joined the local congregation for the Paschal Liturgy when he read the Pauline Epistle. On Holy Pascha, Father Simon held a forenoon service and administered Holy Communion to those who had been unable to attend the late night Liturgy, before conducting the usual Memorial prayers around the Orthodox graves in Winton Cemetery.
Abba Seraphim visited the Chatham Church on Holy Thursday, where he performed the Laquan Footwashing and celebrated the Liturgy before travelling to Babingley to preside at the Good Friday prayer and the Paschal Vigil and Liturgy, which took place at sunset, earlier than at Bournemouth, Chatham and Cusworth, which all began at 10.00 p.m. Before the Paschal Vigil Abba Seraphim baptised and chrismated Richard Tawn at St. Felix Church and, dressed in his white chrisom robe and having been given the new name of George, he was joyfully able to receive his first communion and warmly welcomed to fellowship. Abba Seraphim returned to London early on Pascha morning where he took the sacrament to Father Michael Robson at Morden College and to other elderly and sick members who had been unable to attend a liturgy the previous night.
Abba Seraphim, Father Simon Smyth, Father David Seeds and Father Peter all preached on the Resurrection during their respective liturgies but in Bournemouth and Portsmouth the local deacons also took responsibility for preaching during Holy Week. Always popular is the Good Friday Burial Service, where rose petals, herbs and spices are reverently offered by the women, who assist the clergy in preparing the cross for 'burial' and its transfer into the sanctuary.
The services at Chatham and Cusworth were also well supported by their local congregations and all churches reported that they were joined by other ethnic Orthodox who were unable to attend their own churches. Although refreshments were provided in all churches following the Paschal Liturgy, many also brought baskets with traditional paschal dishes to have them blessed before returning with them to their homes. Dyed and chocolate eggs were distributed among all the worshippers and always prove very popular with the children.
The fact that Holy Pascha falls within the forty days of mourning for the death of Pope Shenouda undoubtedly contributed to a reflective spirit in all the churches, and the prayers which are normally made for his life were now changed to those for his repose, but also for many this highlighted the common hope of the Resurrection which we all share and the deep joy we feel in proclaiming that Christ is Risen.
Memorial Service at Stevenage
A Memorial Service for His Holiness Pope Shenouda III was held at St. George's Cathedral, Stevenage, on 24 March. Bishop Angaelos officiated and clergy of both the Oriental Orthodox and other traditions officiated. Abba Seraphim and Archbishop Athanasios (Syriac Orthodox Church) chanted the psalms; the Bishop of Southwark (The Right Rev'd Christopher Chessum) read the Pauline Epistle and a message from The Archbishop of Canterbury; Abba Seraphim also chanted the Psali Adam and gave the Final Benediction. Among the bishops present were His Eminence Archbishop Antonios (Ethiopian Orthodox Church) and His Grace Bishop Elisey (Russian Orthodox Church) whilst the Ecumenical Patriarchate, the Roman Catholic Church, the Armenian Apostolic Church and the Eritrean Orthodox Church were represented by priests. There were also a number of Coptic Orthodox priests who participated in the service. The British Orthodox Church was also represented by Father Simon Smyth, Father Seraphim Mina, Father Peter Farrington, Deacon Mark Saunders, Deacon Christopher Barnes and a number of subdeacons, readers and laity. There was a large congregation including state and civic leaders and all present were invited to sign the Book of Condolence for His Holiness.
News from Cairo
On 21 March Abba Seraphim visited His Grace Athanasios of the French Coptic Orthodox at St. Mark's Centre, Nasr City, to greet him and discuss matters of common interest for the church in France and the British Orthodox Church. Abba Athanasius extended a warm welcome to Abba Seraphim to visit France later this year and Abba Seraphim reciprocated with an invitation to the United Kingdom.
At the Patriarchate in Anba Rueiss Their Eminences Metropolitan Bakhomious of Beheira and Metropolitan Bishoy of Damiette (General Secretary of the Holy Synod), supported by a number of bishops, spent the whole day receiving a stream of visitors who had come to offer condolences on the death of H.H. Pope Shenouda.
On 22 March the Holy Synod, the Maglis Milli (Coptic Community Council) and Council for Church Endowments (Al Awkaf) will meet together at the Patriarchate to begin the process leading to the election of a new Pope.
The Pope's Funeral & burial at St. Bishoy's monastery
On 20 March Abba Seraphim, along with other members of the Holy Synod of the Coptic Orthodox Church, representatives of Christian Churches, Islamic religious leaders, diplomats, high Egyptian state and military officials, politicians and thousands of ordinary people, attended the Funeral of His Holiness Pope Shenouda III in St. Mark's Cathedral, Abbeseya. An official day of mourning had been declared throughout Egypt. with flags flying at half-mast whilst the streets around the cathedral were lined with hundreds of soldiers. Loudspeakers broadcast the service into the surrounding streets. His Holiness's body, which had been transferred the previous evening from the Throne of St. Mark to an impressive white casket, lay in front of the sanctuary in the midst of the khorus with the lid opened to reveal his face. This image of him, looking peaceful in death, had already become familiar as it had appeared on the front page of most national newspapers as well as having been widely viewed on television during his public lying-in-state, when thousands of mourners had passed through the cathedral to take their leave of a beloved father.
The funeral was preceded by another celebration of the Divine Liturgy, by members of the Holy Synod, presided over by His Eminence Metropolitan Bakhomious of Beheira. New carpets had been laid at the entrance to the khorus and the steps to the sanctuary were lined with an abundance of fragrant white flowers. Although the cathedral was packed, guests continued to arrive throughout the service. While the crowd waited a huge wave of clapping spontaneously burst out among the congregation as a bird, which had flown into the cathedral, soured above them. For many this symbolised the passing of the Pope's spirit to the heavenly realm.
The funeral service commenced with prayers and a chant in Ge'ez by His Holiness Abune Paulos, the Patriarch of Ethiopia, who also spoke movingly of Pope Shenouda's great legacy to the church. After this His Holiness Mar Ignatius Zakka I Iwas, Patriarch of Antioch, frail and confined to a wheelchair, also spoke in a powerful voice about the Pope and led the chanting of funeral hymns by accompanying Syriac bishops. Many of the officiating clergy and those in the congregation were visibly moved. When the dignified figure of Metropolitan Bakhomious addressed the congregation in a hearfelt tribute to the Pope's work and enduring legacy, the crowd heard him in rapt attention, but his spontaneous sentiments so eloquently expressed so perfectly captured the feelings of many and roused them to deafening applause. The service concluded as the casket was carried into the sanctuary by priests and then, assisted by soldiers down the north steps from the cathedral to a waiting white ambulance. This was conducted by outriders and police cars to a military airfield in the suburbs of Cairo. As it left the Patriarchate many of the awaiting crowd surged forward to be near it and the frenzied worshippers chased out of the precincts, beating following cars in an expression of their sadness and grief. It had been intended to fly members of the Holy Synod in an additional military plane accompanying the one used for taking His Holiness to an airfield in the Wadi Natrun, but at the last minute these plans were changed, so only about a third of the members attended the burial at St. Bishoy's monastery.
Abba Seraphim accompanied His Grace Bishop Angaelos by car to the monastery, where they joined just over a hundred monks in the small building in the ancient precincts, which had been constructed in 2003 to serve as a monastic museum, but which had now been transformed into a tomb. Built in the shape of a cross, with four semi-domes in each apse containing traditional Coptic ikons, a white marble sarcophagus had been erected in the centre. The waiting monks had already dropped fragrant herbs and spices into the tomb and those crowded outside the tomb were passing small folded slips of papers containing prayer requests, which the monks also dropped into the sarcophagus. While everyone waited the monks lustily sang Coptic hymns, proud that their Pope, always first a simple monk, was finally coming back to be with them. Soon after dusk had fallen the casket, accompanied by Metropolitan Bakhomious and other bishops, who had travelled on the plane, was brought into the monastery. Overwhelmed by grief the crowd outside exploded into shouts and wailing and many others pushed forward behind the cortege so that the previously still tomb, where those inside had probably risen to two hundred, burst into frantic activity as the soldiers and monks attempted to lower the casket into the sarcophagus and place the great marble slab on the top. Flowers and fragrant oil was poured on the top and the sarcophagus received the first of many anointings, while mourners lovingly kissed the resting place of a most beloved Pope. This will surely be a foremost place of pilgrimage for Copts and all who respect the memory and legacy of Pope Shenouda and will also be a source of many blessings for generations to come.

Exceptional Horse Training, Horsemanship and Riding Instruction
Are you training your horse? Or is your horse training you?
If you get the same training as everyone else, you'll be just like everyone else. If you think maybe you're a bit (or a lot) different--this is the place for you.
In general, I'm not doing things radically differently than what many others do, but I strive to be conscious of every detail in the training of both horse and rider. And I'm extremely resolute on two aspects of everything: only the best quality skills and I adhere to exacting standards of precision. Attention to both is what makes the difference between average and exceptional in horses and horsemanship.
There are a bunch more videos/training on our fb page please click 'like' so you'll know when more are posted.
Are you a 'gonna be' or a 'wanna be' horse person?
How's Your Bucket?
Lauren .....Thanks for having me on your list. I always enjoy your newsletter. I will get a video to you of some 'proof' to people who haven't read your books of my 'before' mounting ...off a bucket ...no grace involved ...chiropractor practically necessary for me and 'after' to the graceful bareback mount your BOOK gave me!!!! I think your book should be given to anyone who ever buys a horse - sort of like a welcome wagon
bucket. :)
What do you really want? What matters to you?
Exceptional Horsemanship...
...starts about 50 feet away from your horse as you approach and ends after you're walking away. Change is dramatic in both horse and rider when concepts are introduced that make sense but are not normally taught to people. Horsemanship doesn't start when you're already tacked up and mounted in the center of the arena. But, that's where many people engage their thoughts about riding.
Would YOU like to be... Mostly like NO ONE else?
My purpose is to help by placing both the facts and the motivation directly in your hands and from that point, it's up to you to aim your horsemanship toward exceptional, using all the tools, knowledge and skills to do so.
Check out "Lauren's Horse Musings" for tons of training info you can use Right NOW!
The newsletter only comes out on the 1st of the month, so if you want to keep up to date on what's happening plus lots of videos that I plug in there, you can check out my fb page at fb.com/exceptionalhorsemanship. Let's get you Exceptional! Never fear, if you don't like what I say - un-subscribe. No hitman will be after you, although your horse might be upset. Yep, your horse will be upset, but... do you care?
This site is about You and Your Horse. How You can get the best out of the relationship by thinking differently. Anyone can change a bit or saddle. That's easy, but changing your thinking?... HUGE!
The time to have the map is before you enter the woods.
Here, you can explore horsemanship, compare your ideas with mine. The free newsletter will bring you monthly training ideas to consider. Hit the "Gimme" button and be an armchair horseman first. Then, start implementing what you're distilling.
Rogues, renegades, spooks and knuckleheads a specialty and a privilege.
I had a blast… Never a dull moment with you! I'm always intrigued and amazed with you. You have such profound and thought-provoking perspective! Have you thought about being a counselor?? It's like learning horse-ABC's, and then putting the letters together to make "See horse run." – J
Lauren –
Had a few extra minutes this morning, and I just finished reading all your blog entries. I REALLY enjoy reading your stuff! I ran out too soon. Can you write one maybe every hour or so … Just kidding … every two hours will do …
Thanks, --Randy Carson

This dress is simple yet also very stylish. The under slip is incredibly short, i had to wear little shorts underneath to protect my booty from giving a show. I have an hourglass shape so without a belt this dress was not flattering, but with a belt it was really nice. Got lots of compliments on it. It's got a sexy witchy feeling to it when you wear it. And you could dress it up or dress it down. I'm 5'6" and 130 lb and i ordered a medium. I think i could have gone with a small as the back strap area felt a little loose.

Not a great picture but I'm trying to identify the small leaved plant as seen here. First I thought it was some kind of creeping fig like Ficus variegata but it has no equipment to cling to anything. Thanks for your help. |

Polyscias? |
Thanks for your help but I deepened my search and found pretty much that this plant is Ficus pumila 'Snowflake'. I am still wondering why there seem to be no means for this plant to climb. Still its's a bright cheerful plant but difficult for me to propagate. Doesn't seem to want to develop any roots after more than a month or two. |

Great job! You may want to ask about propagating it in the houseplant forum. |
Thanks for the comment. Will try there. |
