South Coast congregations celebrate Dormition Feast
The British Orthodox Church South Coast congregations, Christ the Saviour (Bournemouth), Saint Polycarp (Southampton) and Saint Mary the Mother of God and Saint Moses the Black (Portsmouth) all observed the Feast of the Dormition of Saint Mary the Mother of God on Monday 16th January. Given Father Simon's ongoing health issues it was not going to be possible to celebrate the Divine Liturgy on the South Coast so all three Churches and Missions agreed to keep the Feast in each location simultaneously in the context of None or Ninth Hour (Afternoon) Prayer at 3 p.m. incorporating special readings and prayers for the occasion.
The Coptic Orthodox Church (including the British Orthodox as a daughter Church thereof) together with the Ethiopian and Eritrean Orthodox Churches are the only remaining Christians to still observe the two feasts of the Dormition (or Falling Asleep in death) and the Assumption of (the body of) the Mother of God into heaven. The Roman Catholic Church largely celebrates the Assumption while the Byzantine Orthodox Churches emphasise the Dormition – but the Coptic (together with the British), the Ethiopian and the Eritrean Orthodox Churches still unto this day keep the ancient way of two celebrations or feasts. Even by the standards of Orthodoxy these Churches remain truly conservative or traditional, adhering tenaciously to the ancient Christian Faith
Father Peter visits Portsmouth Parish
Father Peter Farrington visited the British Orthodox Church of Saint Mary the Mother of God and Saint Moses the Black on Saturday 10th December. He led the celebration of the
Divine Liturgy, assisted by Father Simon and Reader Antony-Paul Holland. Father Peter demonstrated in a sermon replete with quotations from the Fathers across several centuries that Saint Mary had always held a special place at the heart of the Church. The Church had always honoured and venerated her and sought her intercessions and it was right that this was so. The sermon was much appreciated with more than one member of the congregation asking for a copy.
Father Peter hopes to visit the Portsmouth congregation again next year and the possibility of a reciprocal visit by Father Simon to Chatham in the early months of 2012 was also discussed.
Father Simon ministers in Manchester & Portsmouth
On Friday 4th November Father Simon travelled to Manchester in order to celebrate the Divine Liturgy on Saturday 5th November with the Eritrean Tewahedo Orthodox Church of Christ the Saviour who currently have no priest and are dependent on visiting clergy so they can enjoy the occasional Liturgy from time to time. And enjoy is very much the right word for this Eritrean congregation who approached the holy communion in such devoutness and celebrated with such joy and enthusiasm. He was supported by Archdeacon Alexander who travelled from Sheffield on the day, assisted also by the Eritrean deacons present. The congregation was almost overwhelming in their expressions of appreciation for the visiting British Orthodox clergy.
Sunday afternoon 6th November saw Father Simon back in Portsmouth for the baptism of Paul Theodore Maties where he was assisted by Subdeacons Edward Smyth and Nicolae Popu and Reader Daniel Malyon. The British Orthodox congregation of Saint Mary the Mother of God and Saint Moses the Black was swelled by the many family and friends who came to support young Paul and his parents, Oana and Ovidiu, travelling from Scotland, France, Germany, their native Romania and even from as far as the United States. It was good to see such wonderful support for a baptism.
In a brief sermon Father Simon made reference to his Manchester visit the day before explaining how the congregation could not have celebrated the Liturgy without an ordained priest, then recalled the time several years before in Trotton Church one cold January when all the members were sick with flu and he as an ordained priest without a congregation could not celebrate. There must always be a congregation, however small ("where to or three are gathered together") and the ordained priest has no more authority to celebrate without a congregation than the congregation without an ordained priest. Young Paul Theodore might not yet understand the theology of priesthood but by his baptism and chrismation he had just been incorporated into the priesthood of all believers and when Father Simon next celebrated the Liturgy he would not be celebrating it for Paul but with him, even as with every other Church member present.
BOC South Coast Churches' Three Days' Observance
In response to the deaths of two dozen and the wounding of very, very many of our beloved Coptic Orthodox brethren in Cairo on Sunday and the Holy Synod call for three days of fasting and prayer "so that the Lord dwells with His peace in our beloved country Egypt" the British Orthodox Church stood in firm solidarity with the Mother Church.
Members of the Portsmouth congregation kept the three days of fasting and prayer concluding with a special prayer service on Thursday evening during which these latest martyrs were remembered.
Similarly the Bournemouth and Southampton congregations observed the three days fasting and prayer.
The prayers in the Bournemouth Church each day centred around Sixth Hour (Noon) Prayers with the Gospel lesson from Matthew chapter 5 so appropriate: "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven… great is your reward in heaven…" (Matthew 5:10-12) Particular verses from the Psalms also resonated powerfully: "O God, in Thy Name save me… hearken unto my prayer… strangers are risen up against me, and mighty men have sought after my soul…" (Psalm 53) The words of Psalm 92 also remind us that though "the rivers have lifted up their voices" that though they "lift up their waves as the voices of many waters", that whatever "the surgings of the sea", above them all "wonderful on high is the Lord". "The Lord is King, He is clothed with majesty; the Lord is clothed with strength…"
The Southampton Mission under the patronage of Saint Polycarp similarly centred their prayers around the Sixth Hour Prayers.
The three days culminated in the Bournemouth Church (also joined and supported by members of the Southampton Mission) with Twelfth Hour (Evening) Prayer and special prayers for the Mother Church in Egypt as well as remembering the new martyrs. Father Simon led the congregation as they stood before icons of Saint Antony and Saint Paul, Saint Bishoy, Saint Moses the Black, asking their intercessions for the monasteries that bear their names and for all the monasteries and holy places. Standing in prayer before their icons the intercessions of Saint Mary the Mother of God and of Saint Mark were invoked for the whole Church in Egypt. These prayers concluded before the icon of Saint Simon the Tanner whose intercessions were also sought, this great saint whose prayers God had answered a thousand years ago after the three days of fasting and prayers in similar times of danger and trouble for the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Autumn Weekly Prayer Meetings with Teaching

geographical name \ˌpen(t)-səl-ˈvā-nyə, -nē-ə\Definition of PENNSYLVANIA
Rhymes with PENNSYLVANIA
geographical name (Concise Encyclopedia)State, middle Atlantic region, U.S. Area: 46,056 sq mi (119,284 sq km). Pop. (2009 est.): 12,604,767. Capital: Harrisburg. Pennsylvania is bounded on the north by Lake Erie and New York, on the east by New York and New Jersey, on the south by Delaware, Maryland, and West Virginia, and on the west by the panhandle of West Virginia and by Ohio; the Delaware River forms part of the eastern boundary. The Monongahela River unites with the Allegheny River at Pittsburgh to form the Ohio River. The area was inhabited by Indian peoples, including the Shawnee and Delaware, when Europeans arrived in the 17th century. In 1664 the English seized control of the region, and in 1681 the English king granted a charter to William Penn, who established a Quaker colony based on religious tolerance in 1682. Much of the fighting of the French and Indian War took place there. The first and second Continental Congresses met in Philadelphia, and the Declaration of Independence was signed there in 1776. One of the original states of the Union, it was the second state to ratify the U.S. Constitution in 1787. During the American Civil War it was a centre of military activity (see Battle of Gettysburg). The postwar period brought great economic, industrial, and population growth, consolidating the state's position as a major commercial power. It is one of the most prosperous states, with an economy based on farming, mining, manufacturing, and high technology. The state continues to produce much of the nation's specialty steel and an abundance of coal. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are major ports with fine educational, cultural, and musical institutions.

"The VAMI AI. From Left to Right, the Respentaz Major Romano (Military),Briggs (Economy), Roselyn Frank(Science, named after Roselyne Franklin, a unfortunately unheard biologist.), and Nicolas (Diplomacy). They provide advice directly to the emperor, and even act on his behalf, as they so decree."
>Date: Dieciseite de Augosto (17th of August, for you non-Spanish speaking people), BR 2,013
>From: Colonel Norton, Respentaz
>To: Unidentified Bavarian Diplomat
Simply put, the VAMI AI are very complicated. Their existence is very widely known and respected, even in Trattorian and Immortal Society, yet almost everything else about them is known by only them themselves, or dead and/or silenced people.
To begin, the VAMI are very much like Androids. But they're not. The VAMI have 100% normal bodies (With the exception of Romano, who is a genetically altered and modified Respentaz super soldier), and their minds are also the ones they were born with. This makes them susceptible to assaults on their sanity, as with Nicolas, who despises any encounter with most foreign ambassadors.
Although, there is a catch; While their minds and bodies are natural, their Conscious isn't. Their habits, thought processes, and even the way they form opinions are artificial. Thus, it gives the Emperor the ability to control them, "reset" their minds, if you will. This makes them perfectly suited for their positions. But this could, and has, also backfire. If even a slight mistake is made, they will go mad.
However, around the third or fourth time this occurred: Death. However, creating a new conscious was expensive, and that money was needed to help fight off the Assyrians in the Atlantian War. Emerian psychologists figured out that the mind is contained within the sphere of one's conscious. Thus, if the conscious were artificial, it could kept somewhere, in something. That something is a Super Computer known as Central Dogma, with is hooked up to a cloning and cryo storage pods.
This, in effect, eliminates the chance of permanent, unless their conscious was erased from the computer, following permanent termination. Following such a scenario, the computer could then (with operator) create a new "profile" for a new VAMI.
Unfortuneately (and perhaps wisely), everything about the past VAMI AI(s) is secret known only to the Emperor, except for the fact they existed in the first stance. Another frightening thought: Some VAMI were foreigners, but normally kidnapped immigrants.
But, I wonder why they don't just artificially create the VAMI, like the Trattorians, or our Respentaz. I'll have to dig further.
This was the only communication between Colonel Norton and this diplomat. A week after this communication was discovered by the Emerian government, the Diplomat vanished, and then reappeared in a peat bog in a classified location, but missing his legs.

I do not see pics similar to this anywhere, so I've got to ask. Have any of you experienced clivia roots wanting out of the medium like this? I've read in one place online that roots visible on the surface is normal, and some people mentioned they plant them relatively high, so the roots are just under or even on the surface. But this is different. Seems like the roots have reached the bottom but are still growing, with the only way out is literally OUT of the medium. This plant did the exact same thing before. The roots grew very vigorously in a pot like this (http://www.containerstore.com/catalogimages/135695/ZigZagPotLgLme10033163_x.jpg) to the point where the plant started raising its whole self very visibly from out of the pot. When I lifted the roots to see what was happening, I saw that because of the structure of the pot and strength of the roots, they would find the wall of the pot, and then they would go straight down (couldn't circle because of those zig-zagged walls), and when they reached the bottom, the plant would literally raise itself up on its root tippy-toes like a ballerina, leaving the mix underneath. Too bad I did not take a picture then - it looked very unusual. So, my questions are: |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's not uncommon for the roots to push the plant right out of the medium. Clivia often grow epiphytically in nature in crooks of trees or rocks, so there's no problem with leaving the roots exposed. Your plant looks great. I wouldn't change a thing right now. You might want to pot up next spring just so things don't get too out of control. I avoid cutting roots at any time and, honestly, you could try to train them to grow otherwise, but it'll probably be a losing battle. ;-) LOVE your medium. Where did find such nice bark? Gail |

Before I start this review I have to admit two things: one, that in my previous band I opened for Whiskey Myers at the Stage on 6th Street in Austin, so I'm already partial to be as gracious to these guys as they were to me (they hung out with us before and after the show and are just a great bunch of guys) and two, Whiskey's Myers' first album "Firewater" has held a spot on my 'top 20 albums I listen to over-and-over' for quite a while.
That being said, I'm gonna try to put all that aside and try to be as neutral and critical as possible.
When I first heard that Whiskey Myers was gonna call their new album "Early Morning Shakes" I thought to myself, the album title has GOT to be about one of three things: waking up with alcohol withdrawals, a three o'clock stop off for a dairy desert at Steak & Shake, or how you half wake up in the middle of the night having to pee and stand there wa-a-a-y too long trying to shake those last drops out (oh wait, is that just me?).
The first song on the album is the title track, and after listening to it I gotta say, there IS a lot of references to alcohol, but I'm still not entirely convinced my inconsistent-urine-flow theory is incorrect (okay, I'll get my prostate checked GET OFF MY BACK!).
Now that you know more than I'd like about my toilet training, let's get into the meat-and-potatoes of the album.
The album starts out with what sounds like a hound dog and a little kid cussing so this should be a good indicator of how bad-a$$ this collection of jams is gonna be! The first two tracks, Early Morning Shakes, and Hard Row to Hoe, are straight up, in-your-face southern rockers complete with some harmonica and a wah-wah pedal lead (two instruments which are sorely UNDER used in music today my opinion) and a female background singer.
The third tune (Dogwood) is a steady driver that I'm sure is gonna see plenty of play pumping out of trucks driving back roads with the windows down or blasting out of one of those water-proof radios lashed to a tube cooler on the Guadalupe River. Dogwood is followed by Shelter from the Rain, a steel guitar infused ballad which the ladies might like. Just when the ballad has you soothed, lounging on your couch with your feet kicked up, along comes the 5th track, Home, that kicks in the front door with a shotgun blast guitar riff and does a nasty home invasion (like how I worked in 'home invasion' for a song title 'Home'? yeah, pretty clever).
If you've ever seen Whiskey Myers live, I'm sure you'd agree with me that from the first note to the last encore, they rock out and put on a hellofa show. Tracks 6 and 7, Headstone and Where the Sun Don't Shine, are about as close to capturing that live show groove as you can get in a studio environment.
Track 8, Reckoning, slows the roll. Revisiting a theme familiar in their first album, this song recognizes the dues you gotta pay for fast living. You could probably find some chick willing to do a romantic slow dance with you for this song, but when the next tune rolls around you might want to take a seat and pull out the single bills. Track 9, Wild Baby Shake Me should be a staple on every strip club DJ's song list.
There are numerous tracks on this album that instantly make me draw comparisons with the band Blackberry Smoke, and tracks 10 and 11, Lightning and Need a Little Time off for Bad Behavior, are more of those. Dirty guitar riff driven ear-grinders are a staple of both bands, and I hope they stick to that winning formula. There's not enough down-home southern rockers out there. We got too many panty-waist-industry-correct-afraidtosaywordslikeheroinorstripperinasong-metrosexuals in the music scene these days. These Nashville clowns rapping about partying on the weekends, while guys like these keep on rocking about the bullsh*t you go through during the week. So thank God for guys like Whiskey Myers.
The last track, Colloquy (yeah, I had no idea what the word meant either, and after looking it up I STILL don't know what it means, but it ISN'T pronounced the way it's spelled) is a giant step off in a different direction for this album. The lyrics are pained, mysterious, and I bet are underpinned with some tragic story. What's really striking about this song is the presence of an 80's hair-metal style synthesizer and this is further accented by a Scorpions-esque dual lead guitar. It's REALLY different from anything else on the album, but not different in a bad way at all. I liked it, and I think you will to.
Overall, this album is pretty solid. Plenty here to satisfy those hungry for some real-life home-grown rock-out-with-your-c@ck-out music.

New York-based designer Misha Nonoo is simultaneously feeling sporty and romantic for Spring 2013; models wore both crisp white sneakers and Frida Kahlo-style ribbon headpieces. Feeding into the flirty side of the collection were vintage-inspired floral dresses, lace details, and ruffled skirts, while cobalt drawstring trousers, piped short suits, and loose-fitting shorts lent a more relaxed look. Delicate prints and bright colors, as well as bursts of crisp whites, gave the collection an exuberant flair.

For the past two decades, Scott Shorrow of Landscape Concepts, Inc. has specialized in landscape transformations that have greatly enhanced the outdoor beauty of homes and businesses throughout the local Frederick, Md., area. This includes working with owners to integrate patios, kitchens, fire pits, stairs, walks, plants and shrubbery with the grounds to not only create scenic artistry, but also living spaces that comfortably expand the flow of architectural elements and exterior aesthetics.
"Hardscaping has truly become an artform," says Shorrow. "It's so much more than just laying brick and pavers. The entire process from specification to design takes a real artistic touch to get it right with a look and feel that promotes livability, curb appeal and even better value in a competitive sales market."
According to Shorrow, these activities begin with the design of a functional plan based on a combination of color, line, form, texture and scale. It then extends to choosing the materials that coincide best with the property's existing features.
For instance, freestanding retaining and landscape walls are often constructed with a variety of curb stone collections to complement driveways, decks, pools and gardens with textures and hues reminiscent of the rustic hand-laid look of Old English estates or time-honed appeal of classic European gardens.
As for lighting, that was another matter entirely. Up until recently, Shorrow tried to resist requests for all forms of landscape lighting due to the various challenges associated with traditional products and installations. Only at the specific demands of customers did he even consider including them in his package of services.
"I dreaded lighting projects," explains Shorrow. "The wiring was bulky. The line voltage was difficult to anticipate and it always seemed like the first light was brighter than the fifth and all the other ensuing bulbs. Plus, the time and effort involved just wasn't worth the return. I'd add lighting if the customer was adamant, but it wasn't something I actively pitched or even made me money. It was an add-on service that I often avoided as much as possible."
Shorrow learned about i-lighting (http://www.i-lightingonline.com) in early 2012 from a colleague and the demonstration he received at a local home show got him to thinking that it might be time to add landscape lighting as a service. He was particularly intrigued with the company's proprietary "LED Lighting Simplified" connection technology. After a bit more research he became convinced that that installations utilizing the kits take nearly half the time of traditional outdoor lighting systems; users need to do little more than plug the system together to create customized deck, rail, stair, post, path, masonry and landscape solutions. Another benefit is that each LED installation only costs pennies a month to operate.
"Immediately, I realized this was the answer to my lighting problems," continues Shorrow. "It just seemed so easy to use. All you have to do is plug it together and install. There are no excessive set up times. The wiring is thinner and as a result easier to hide and the LED bulbs emit a warm, yellow glow."
Shorrow now regularly recommends, sells and installs stair and deck lighting as well as hardscape and landscape lighting. He installs the lighting separately or in conjunction through a series of connections that plug together using either end of the i-lighting extension cables.
Photocell technology that senses ambient light and automatically turns lights on and off for both safety and security, while adding convenience and reliability
Over the past year he said he has sold more than 50 lighting jobs. "I now show the lighting on the first day and customers almost immediately ask me to include it in their projects," says Shorrow. (start new paragraph)....It's an easy upsell, he claims, adding that he's had at least two jobs in the $25,000 to $30,000 range that resulted directly from the referrals of satisfied customers.In one case, a previous customer was so impressed with the aesthetics and its warm yellow hue of a lighting project that he instructed Shorrow to replace the home's existing landscape and masonry lighting with a complete system consisting of nearly 250 masonry, path and uplights. "Lighting installations are now not only profitable, but also pleasurable to perform," adds Shorrow."

(Updates with closing share price in fourth paragraph.)
Jan. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Health Net Inc., the fifth-largest health insurer by revenue, is selling its Medicare stand-alone prescription drug plan to CVS Caremark for about $160 million.
Health Net, which already partners with CVS on some services for its customers, expects to gain $140 million in net cash from the transaction after taxes and other costs, the Woodland Hills, California-based company said in a statement. The plan includes 400,000 members in 49 states using Medicare, the U.S. health program for the elderly and disabled.
"Given our ongoing relationship with CVS Caremark, we are confident that the transition of members will proceed smoothly with no disruption in services," said Jay Gellert, Health Net chief executive officer, in the statement.
Health Net gained 3.4 percent to $33.91 at 4 p.m. in New York. The shares gained 19.4 percent in the past 12 months before today. CVS Caremark rose less than 1 percent to $41.79.

News Corp. (NWSA:US)'s British publishing unit failed for months to disclose in civil litigation an executive's e-mail with instructions on hacking the mobile-phone voice mail of a "well-known person."
The e-mail was found by the company in March during a required search for evidence and was only shared with victims yesterday, after police alerted them to its existence, David Sherborne, a lawyer for dozens of people who had their messages intercepted, said at a London hearing today.
"We had to be told about it by police, even though News International knew about it," Sherborne said, referring to the unit. "We have a real concern about the way this disclosure is being conducted" because the e-mail is of "enormous significance" in the overall case, he said.
News Corp., the New York-based company controlled by Chairman Rupert Murdoch, is trying to move on from the scandal after the victims' civil case and a parallel media-ethics probe that began last year revealed damaging e-mails and text messages about hacking and other wrongdoing. Judge Geoffrey Vos, who is overseeing the civil cases, said in January the company destroyed evidence to hide the extent of the problem.
Lawyers with Linklaters LLP, which represents News International, said they discovered the e-mail in the context of a separate phone-hacking search requested by police and that they forgot to give it to victims in the civil case.
Firm Apologized
Vos said the London-based law firm apologized for the oversight and that he believed its explanation of what happened. The identities of the executive who wrote the e-mail and the person it was about should remain secret, he said, to prevent the information from affecting related criminal cases.
While Sherborne didn't challenge the explanation, he said the oversight raised concerns the company's process of carrying out court-ordered searches for e-mail evidence may be inadequate, and that e-mails of equal importance may not yet have been discovered.
The hacking scandal at News Corp.'s News of the World newspaper led to the title's closure a year ago and triggered a related bribery probe into the company's Sun tabloid. About 60 people have been arrested, including former News International Chief Executive Officer Rebekah Brooks, who was charged in May with conspiring to cover up the hacking scandal.
The company seeks to settle about 50 combined civil lawsuits before a trial scheduled for February, with lawyers saying the number of victims in the case may rise to about 100 by then. A trial scheduled for earlier this year was canceled after an initial group of test lawsuits were settled.
79 Settlements
News International's lawyer Michael Silverleaf said today about 250 alleged victims have sought out-of-court settlements with the company, using a procedure it created that's overseen by a former judge. He said about 79 deals have been reached and they aren't part of the current case.
Vos ordered News International in January to search a former employee's laptops for new evidence. The company is also examining iPhones used by four unidentified executives after victims said they may contain evidence.
Testifying today at the media-ethics inquiry, Max Mosley, the former president of Formula One, proposed the creation of an independent press tribunal which could levy fines of as much as 10 percent of a publication's revenue.
"We need a statutory body that can stop the press from going too far," he said. "A decent journalist will recognize if he got it wrong."
Mosley, who won a 60,000 pound ($93,800) award against News of the World in 2008 for publishing a story that said he took part in a Nazi-themed "orgy," said the enforcement process should be completely independent from the government and the media.
"With privacy, money can do nothing to repair the damage to the victim," according to a document Mosley submitted.

Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration Merchandise Art Revealed
posted on January 30th, 2015 by Michelle Harker, Manager, Merchandise Marketing & Communications, Disneyland Resort
The countdown to the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration is under way! I have the scoop on all of the merchandise hitting stores in May 2015 at the Disneyland Resort. Here's your first look at the dazzling new art that will appear on three celebration collections and more than 500 merchandise items, including apparel, accessories, headwear, home décor, souvenirs, toys, pins, D-Tech, collectibles and more.
When I think about a diamond, words like timeless, brilliant and eternal come to mind, which is exactly what our artists envisioned, too. Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with Disney Design Group Creative Manager Cody Reynolds about the 60th anniversary, their inspirations and what our Disney fans can expect to find.
The 'Character' collection focuses on the characters, attractions and the rich history of the resort. "The palette is retro in style but has a slightly modern twist," said Cody. "We thought about diamonds as a precious heirloom that can be passed down through generations or can be a promise of a bright new future. We wanted the art to speak to the special moments and memories that our fans have shared over the years, but we also wanted to celebrate the bright, amazing future still ahead and the generations of guests that will continue to share in the experience." Artist Tip: The art is a timeline with each panel representing a fifteen year span. It begins in black and white (a nod to when Disneyland was first introduced), and slowly transitions becoming more and more colorful with the inclusion of notable characters and icons that denote the timeframe and their debut.
The 'Castle' collection is quite dynamic and I think you'll find the sparkling blue and silver hues almost hypnotizing. "We wanted to capture the heart of Disneyland and the love that so many people have for it," said Cody. "Sleeping Beauty Castle to us is that heart. A centerpiece you can find day or night, glistening with magical diamond dust." Accompanying this iconic symbol are none other than Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, who are as beloved and precious as any diamond you can find.
The 'Diamond' collection can be described in one word: stunning. The black, gray and silver tones are simple, classic and elegant. "We wanted to create a line based on the shape and qualities of an actual diamond, multi-faceted, unique and endlessly reflective," says Cody, "it's what Disneyland represents to so many of us. It gave our artists the opportunity to create rare and special pieces and provide something magical to our guests that we hope will last forever."
As you can see, there are so many things to share with you and even more stories to tell. In the coming months you'll get your first look at some of the amazing merchandise lined up for you, including cool must-have items that I can guarantee you won't want to live without. Also keep an eye out for glimpses of rare, limited edition, high-end items that will make your jaws drop.
Join the countdown to this momentous occasion in Disney history with a special series of pins featuring memorable Walt Disney moments and quotes.
These pins will release each month, beginning January 31 through July 2015. Curious to see what's inside these diamond shaped pins or when they will be released? Learn more here.

I also bought the P500 RSIB with the free accessories a couple of weeks ago and other than the expected learning curve due to the heat generated by this baby, I am very happy. As for the seemingly high initial cost, I bought this Napoleon to replace my P308 that I have had for 20 years (still working!) so as far as I'm concerned, it's money well spent.

I have a Napoleon Prestige Pro 500RSIB I purchased last year, which cost about $2300 Canadian taxes/install in. The side burner is awesome, as you've mentioned, to sear meat to go on the main grill (or steaks that some folks want very rare) and boiling things (great for corn this time of year so that you don't have that corn smell through your house for three daya). Mine also has the ice bucket/cutting board on the right, four inside burners, infrared inside burner and dials that illuminate at night. I've cooked steaks, chicken, turkey, ribs, etc on it, and picked up the griddle to let you make brekkie on the grille too. I've also yet to try the charcoal/smoker tray, but did make pizza on it which turned out great. You can also bake (yes, you heard me, bake) on it and works out great too. The thing I love on it too is the grease tray slides easily out the back for easy cleaning, and I purchased cleaner to keep it shiny as much as I can (am in Ontario, Canada). I purchased mine at a local gas dealer (have the natural gas model) as the ones at the big box stores weren't the ones made in Barrie. Is the BBQ worth it? Does a bear crap in the woods? :-) best money spent on an awesome culinary machine that can take the worst that winter can throw at it (BBQ ed all winter on it this past winter) and in the depths of summer.. great warranty, great support from the folks at Napoleon, and Canadian made which is icing on the cake. I looked at the other high end model companies but only Napoleon had vents that aimed down (so if caught BBQing in the rain, no water gets into the unit). Worth every penny and then some.

In his criticism of the plan, LSP organizer Doug Nopar wrote that the plan did not reflect the public input received through citizen surveys. Many who responded to the surveys named environmental protection and recreation as their top priorities.
The few dozen citizens who responded to surveys for the Winona County Comprehensive Plan do not represent the majority of public opinion, said committee member Everett Rolfing.
"We've had very, very small turnout at public hearings; this is not necessarily a majority of [public] opinion," Rolfing said of the surveys. "I thought they were there to guide us for our own information and thought I don't know if it should be kept as part of the permanent record," he added. Rolfing also stated that a citizen had been caught "stuffing the ballot box," inserting extra comments into a comment box, and argued that "makes many of these comments are false."
Including the survey responses and township and committee comments takes up pages and pages in an already lengthy document, other committee members noted. Committee members agreed that the surveys and comments were best removed from the body of the plan, but there was disagreement on whether to include them in an appendix or not publish them at all. Committee member Bob Marg said the surveys should be removed, but documented in an appendix.
"Well, our mission is to update the Comprehensive Plan," committee chair Mike Flynn responded. "[Publishing] a separate thing does that fall within our mission?"
The committee voted 14-0 to delete the citizen survey responses, as well as comments from townships and the committee, including the committee's comment that under the current comprehensive plan, "Feedlots go through hell to expand and cities expand without justification."
The SWCD Board recommended removing the statement that Right to Farm language in the plan "may prevent [rural residents] from obtaining a legal judgement" against nuisances caused by their neighbors' normal farming operations. Committee member Don Evanson said he disagreed with the recommendation, noting that it simply states the language might prevent legal judgements, not that it will necessarily prevent legal judgements. The committee moved on without further comment or action.
LSP and Riddle both questioned the Comprehensive Planning Committee's proposed policy to promote all kinds of agriculture equally. "This language is inconsistent with the overwhelming majority of public input in favor of farming methods that protect the soil, water, and environment," Nopar wrote. Riddle recommended that bioengineering should be dropped from a statement in the draft plan that the county should promote family farming, agricultural start-ups, value-added farm products, bioengineering, and diversity in agriculture. The SWCD Board agreed.
Riddle is the chair of the SWCD Board but also submitted comments on the plan as an individual.
"By including the term 'bioengineering,' the committee is showing preference for one system of agriculture, which has been shown through peer-reviewed research to increase pesticide use; endanger human health, promote the development of herbicide-resistant weeds and pesticide-resistant insects, cause mortality among aquatic organisms, and cost more for farmers," Riddle wrote.
"Well, I'm going to speak against that," Evanson said of Riddle's criticism. "We wouldn't be feeding the world if we didn't have bio-engineering improving plants by increasing vitamins in them and helping the world in terms of health, sustainability, and survivability. That's all through bioengineering," he added.
If people want to take away bioengineered crops, they might as well take away the internet and cellphones; bioengineering is the agricultural equivalent of those modern conveniences, Marg said.
Perhaps including "bioengineering" in the policy recommendation is not necessary because the phrase "diversity in agriculture" already encompasses it and other kinds of farming, Flynn suggested.
Evanson rejected that argument, pointing out that the policy recommendation specifies a list of other agriculture practices the county should support, such as start-ups and value-added products.
Committee member Leon Bowman agreed with Flynn and made a motion to strike "bioengineering."
"We should leave it 'bioengineering' in there for the future, because there is a group of people in this country that want to get rid of bioengineering totally," said Duane Wirt. Wirt stated that farmers would not be able to feed the world and that the water quality benefits of no-till row cropping would not be possible without genetically modified crops.
Flynn defended the SWCD recommendation. "Nobody's trying to take that away, they're just saying 'diversity' includes that, and they're saying that if you want to treat us all in a more neutral way, diversity covers it," he said.
"Somebody complains that our document does not have a vision," Evanson said, referring to one of Riddle's critiques. "Well, bioengineering needs to be part of our vision and it needs to be in here."
"GMOs [genetically modified organisms] are coming under attack," Marg commented.
"And Riddle is promoting the attack," Evanson stated.
"He has something to gain from it; the world has something to gain from GMOs and bioengineering," Wirt asserted.
Bowman's motion to delete "bioengineering" failed for lack of a second.
Riddle also recommended that the Comprehensive Plan Committee include information on health trends in the county. Flynn said that the county has a health committee that should address those issues, referring to the Health Impact Assessment (HIA) Committee. "That kind of information belongs in that committee, not the comprehensive plan," he said. The county won a grant from the state health department to conduct an HIA, a study that would provide policy recommendations for boosting public health, as part of the comprehensive plan update. However, a separate committee would have guided the policy recommendations in the HIA. The Comprehensive Planning Committee opposed the HIA, and the County Board voted 3-2 not to include the HIA in the comprehensive plan update.
An MPCA representative who commented on the draft plan was concerned by the tone of a comment made in Rollingstone Township's profile. "Community-based planning and ecosystem management concepts are conceived, promoted and controlled by non-farm opinion and a threat to the rights of farmers," township officials wrote in the section of the comprehensive plan dedicated to the township.
"I think it has good tenor," Evanson said.
"Coming from Rollingstone Township, I think it should stay right there," committee member Bruce Speltz said. "I'm fine with it, it just threatens the MPCA," he added. Committee member Judy Ellinghuysen laughed and said, "As if they never threaten us."
The committee did make a change recommended by Riddle: the group changed the phrase "disposal of manure" to "resource utilization." Riddle wrote, "The choice of the word 'disposal' reflects the committees attitude toward nutrient recycling by viewing manure as a waste instead of as a valuable source of nutrients."
Committee Shelly DePestel was puzzled at Riddle's concern. Even though the word "disposal" is used, no one is disposing of manure in the sense of throwing it away, it is all utilized in a field application of some kind, she said.
Ultimately the committee unanimously agreed that replacing the wording would alleviate the concern without doing any harm. "It won't change how we use the word in the country, though," Speltz commented.

Pattern Clash isn't for the faint hearted and even the most experienced or experimental fashion blogger can be tested. It's not a favourite theme among many but it's one I'm determined to include every year because it's one of the strongest examples of what this challenge is... a challenge. I want people to think about how and why they dress the way they do, then question those actions and their motives. Sometimes you just have to bend or break a few rules to showcase who you are as an ... [ Discover More ]
Recovery Mode
I've been stuck in bed for weeks but I've found every distraction possible it seems to avoid writing this post, obviously that is until now. I guess there are a few reasons why I'm hesitant to write about my experience: It's a story filled with gore, seriously not pretty.

Aussie Curves – Everyday Style
This is generally how you will find me most days of the week. I wear relaxed loose-fitting clothing, I'm bare faced and my hair in usually in a messy up-do. This is just how I roll at the moment. For the past few months I've been really unwell but by the same token I've been the healthiest I've been in years. If you're confused you can imagine how I'm feeling, everyday is a roller coaster. That means I don't have time to fuss and fancy about, the little energy and time I do have (while I'm not ... [ Discover More ]
Black and Gold
Timing is everything and lately I've been feeling out of sync. I'm not myself but at the same time I feel like I'm getting to know a few inner truths. Over the last six months I wrote posts trying to explain what would be happening so you would have some kind of understanding but I guess I also wrote them for myself. Before I was wading around in uncharted waters, now I'm up to my neck. Questions have been answered only to raise more questions, bigger questions each one making me want to retreat ...

Bridal Lingerie Editorial
In February I was sent an editorial outline for Plus Model Magazine containing my schedule of content for this year, it was exciting! What excited me even more than my agreed contribution was the gaps open for editorial consideration. Opportunity is golden and I grasped it with both hands.

I took this photo several months ago (obviously, I'm blonde now) and sent it to my sister for a laugh.

Aussie Curves – Pink
I wore a lot of blue growing up, it was my favourite colour. When I wore blue people would always compliment me on my eyes, saying they popped and I liked that.

Kenji Bunch: New Job, New Rules For Chamber Music
OPB | April 12, 2014 10:50 p.m. | Updated: April 16, 2014 10:30 a.m. | Portland
This week, the ensemble Fear No Music welcomes its new artistic director, Kenji Bunch, with a concert surveying his chamber music works. The phrase "chamber music" barely scratches the surface of Bunch's style. He talked to us about how his compositions, influenced by folk, jazz, and other genres, doesn't fit neatly into traditional classical genres.
He's from Portland. But he spent two decades in New York — going to school, composing, performing with the Flux Quartet and hearing his compositions widely performed. Now he's moved back to take over at Fear No Music — a group dedicated to commissioning and playing new works, and expanding the playground of classical music. Bunch told April his relationship with the group goes back a while.
Here's the information for Friday night's show.
Want to read more about Kenji and his musical coming of age? Our Arts & Life unit produced this great video and Q&A a while back. Check it out.

Seattle police say officer killed in shooting
SEATTLE Seattle police say an officer has been fatally shot, likely the first police officer killed in the line of duty in the city since 2006.
Police said late Saturday they were searching for suspects in the shooting, which took place near an intersection just after 10 p.m. in Seattle's mostly residential Central District.
Police have shut down traffic near the scene of the shooting.
In August 2006, rookie officer Joselito Barber was killed when a woman drove her sport utility vehicle through a red light and broadsided his patrol car.

These are just a few of the things that kids have to say about bullying, a subject that hurts so many kids. Their voices are part of a new special on the subject.
The documentary "Speak Up" will be shown on Sunday on Cartoon Network at 5:30 and 8 p.m. President Barack Obama has taped an introduction to the show.
Athletes and performers including former NBA star Chris Webber, tennis champion Venus Williams and NASCAR driver Trevor Bayne, talk about their own experiences being bullied.
They also offer advice, aimed not just at kids who are being bullied but also at kids who want to help a classmate who is being picked on. "You can walk someone to class . . . you can ask them if they're okay. . . . We're all on the same team," Webber tells kids.

From the Publisher
"Sanday draws a chilling picture of fraternity society, its debasement of women and the way it creates a looking-glass world in which gang rape can be considered normal behavior and the pressure of group-think it powerful."
-The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A classic. Fraternity Gang Rape is a fascinating analysis of how all-male groups such as fraternities or athletic teams may create a rape culture where behavior occurs that few individuals acting alone would perpetrate. The new introduction and afterword shed light on how this pernicious problem continues today, insightfully illuminating the complicity of society in the failure of accountability for acquaintance rape."
-Mary P. Koss,co-editor of No Safe Haven
"A powerful and important book."
-Contemporary Psychology
"Full of insights . . . an important contribution . . . written in accessible prose and ideal for course use."
-Women's Review of Books
"Powerfully moving and analytically provocative. . . . If the college or university at which AJS readers teach has a fraternity or sorority system, this book will be useful in understanding the way those organizations not only construct the gender relations between women and men on campus but also provide a map of male domination that members can take with them for the rest of their lives."
-Michael S. Kimmel,American Journal of Sociology
