I came across this powerful method for generating strong feelings of love and appreciation. Its a very simple method to use and im finding it very effective so ive decided to share it here. I hope you find it useful if you decide to use it. Read what Raymond David Salas has to say about it here. asked 10 Jan '13, 09:27 Satori 1
@Satori- yes a truly enlightening exercise thanks, though i prefer to replace the word god by another word ...

Emptying a bottle of vodka creates more room for God to fill himself in..lol...alcoholism is a problem only if used as a solution. :)
(10 Jan '13, 10:28)
@Satori I like that. Reminds me of the "loving kindness meditation" which i find highly valuable especially after you are emotionally at least at the neutral point.
(10 Jan '13, 11:16)
@Blubird 2 - Thanks. Your welcome, I used that word so as not to misquote. They are labels for the same thing, but yes, I agree with you on using the label you are most comfortable with:) @Catherine- Thank you. Your welcome :) @Releaser99 - Thank you. Yes they are similar, and as you say these are processes best used when in a good feeling place :)
(10 Jan '13, 15:15)
@Satori- Thanks you very much fo sharing this.I remember some time ago Stingray reffered the book by Carnelian Sage .I as like many others wished to read the book or at least know what the Love Path exercise is.so i can say that LOA worked in our favour here...:)
(10 Jan '13, 23:29)

I like this exercise, it is simple but also feels wonderful! I just tried it out, it doesn't take even one minute of time to complete. I agree that this feeling of love is important. I just cast a demon out of someone. It told me it was Legion to attempt to scare me. To the demon it was a battle, to me I felt wonderful peace, relaxed and love the whole time. I felt God's presence with me! I felt happy and at peace casting that demon out. Love is important for defeating evil. I knew Christ as he is with me even now. answered 01 May '13, 02:41 Wade Casaldi |

UNLOCKS all iPhone 5, 5C, and 5S operating iOS6 and iOS7
Since October Jailbreakers have been patiently waiting for a solution to unlock the iPhone 5 CDMA+GSM. The engineers behind Gevey have worked tirelessly for months. Finally, the fourth generation of SIM unlockers is here. With the Gevey Ultra surpassing the markets expectations, we proudly introduce you to the Gevey Ultra S CDMA+GSM. This is the latest Gevey Ultra S and is compatible with the CDMA+GSM iPhone 5.
Gevey Ultra i5 includes:
• Genuine Gevey Ultra SIM
• Custom SIM Tray
• Instructional Manual
Unlock AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Bell, Rogers, Telus, Fido, Virgin, Sasktel, MTS, Vodafone, Orange, Bouygues, SFR, Optus, Telstra, SoftBank, O2, TELE2, Telenor & all other iPhone i5'!
Unlock your CDMA iPhone i5 to use on GSM networks
Unlock your CDMA iPhone i5 with the GEVEY Ultra S Multi-Network turbo SIM and use it on GSM networks around the world. J
True Plug-and-Play Unlock Turbo SIM for GSM iPhone i5
Unlock your GSM iPhone i5 with the re-engineered GEVEY Ultra S Multi-Network turbo SIM. Our new technology takes advantage of a few new exploits that fully unlock your GSM iPhone i5. It's true plug-and-play functionality with no jailbreak required for your GSM iPhone i5, so just pop it in and start calling.
Compatible with all GSM and CDMA iPhone i5 SIM Cards
The new GEVEY Ultra S Multi-Network is now a single interposer that works for both networks. It actually "learns" your network, so there is no need to select a specific GEVEY Ultra S Multi-network for your specific service carrier. Your new GEVEY Ultra S Multi-Network turbo SIM comes in learning mode, but after inserting it into your iPhone i5 with your SIM card, our technology learns your networks types and settings for a true plug-and-play unlock solution on GSM network iPhone i5 models.
One caveat of this exploit is that, if for some reason you need to change your current SIM with a SIM card from a different carrier, you will need to reset your GEVEY Ultra S with the reset SIM included with your genuine GEVEY Ultra S Multi-Network. Beware of other solutions that claim to circumvent this issue. It is simply not possible when taking advantage of this new exploit in the iPhone i5 firmware.
No SIM Card Cutting or Physical Modifications
The new GEVEY Ultra S Multi-Network is engineered using the F981 chipset, which is more expensive but performs a whole lot better than cheaper solutions. We don't manipulate, polish, or sand down cheaper microchips to make our SIM interposer small enough to fit, and there is no need for you to cut your SIM card or modify your iPhone i5 in any way.
Beware of counterfeit GEVEY products claiming to use the F981 chipset and selling for less than our rock bottom pricing. Most people won't be able to tell the difference by visual inspection, but some cheaper, larger chips used in these solutions are sanded, cut, or polished to fit in your iPhone i5. These solutions expose sensitive electronic components and are notoriously prone to overheating, short-circuit, and breakage.
Guaranteed Better Reception than Last Generation Unlocking Solutions
Now that we no longer take advantage of the old exploits, we've re-engineered the GEVEY Ultra S Multi-Network for enhanced signal strength with strong, consistent voice and data communication. Now there is no compromise in reception when choosing genuine GEVEY products.
No Need to Dial International Emergency Number 112
There is now no need to dial the international emergency number (112) during installation or when rebooting your iPhone i5. Our learning technology allows for true plug-and-play iPhone i5 unlock solution. Beware of solutions that require you to dialing an emergency number. This may violate telecommunication abuse policies and lead to service cancellation on some networks.
Decrease Power Consumption
The F981 chip set in our new GEVEY Ultra S Multi-Network is engineered to operate under the 3-volt standard. That means your battery will last just as long as it would without the GEVEY Ultra S. Beware of counterfeit solutions claiming to use a similar chip set. We've invested the time and money to engineer our new GEVEY Ultra S Multi-Network with better power efficiency. This kind of technology can't be duplicated or implemented on cheaper chip sets.

Welcome to the final day here in Monte Carlo, where fears of a wet race are receding. It's 21 degrees Celsius at present, with an expected high around 25, the wind is a gentle 17 km/h easterly, visibility is unlimited and humidity 83 percent. In other words, conditions are almost perfect.
There are some clouds and the chance of rain is still rated at 20 percent, but few of the teams are expecting to need their wet weather tyres in this afternoon's Monaco Grand Prix, which gets underway at 2pm local time.

White House Visitor Center cancels tours
Friday, March 8, 2013 - 7:11pm
(CNN) — Due to those forced budget cuts, the White House Visitor Center has canceled all tours effective Saturday.
An automated message at the Visitor Center's hotline is delivering the news.
The move will help the agency save $74,000 a week. That is the cost of paying 37 uniformed officers 50 dollars an hour each week to secure the tour route. It adds up to roughly $2 million a year.

We were skeptical when we first heard about Lamar's plans to overcome his alleged drug addiction and revive his NBA career before the upcoming season, but now it looks like he might get another shot at playing ball — for his former team the Lakers!
Once an asset to the NBA, Lamar Odom is now considered a liability and many teams have been reluctant to offer him a contract — until now. The Lakers just might be willing to take a chance on Lamar — but on a few conditions, a source tells HollywoodLife.com. Read on for all the EXCLUSIVE details!
Lamar Odom Going Back To Lakers? — Why He Hopes The NBA Team Might Re-Hire Him
Jim Buss, the executive vice president of player personnel for the Lakers, is considering "offering Lamar a chance to play," a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
"There will be many meetings left but what was once a no-chance situation now has a pulse," the source reveals.
But in order to rejoin the team, Lamar, 33, would have to agree to a few things first.
"He would at most get the 10-day contract option to be a test. Plus, he would have to accept random drug testing and probably a stint in the NBA D-League," the source says, referring to the NBA's official minor league organization. "The Lakers would be taking a huge risk but they would want it on their terms. If a chance was given, it would be early next year."
It sounds like Lamar could be watching from the sidelines for a while, but at least there's still hope for him to get back in the game!
Lamar Odom's Basketball Career — Why His Trip To NYC Was Canceled
Hopefully Lamar will be able to hammer out a deal with the Lakers, because his other options are dwindling. He had to cancel an Oct. 9 trip to meet and potentially make a deal with basketball executives in New York, reportedly because of his alleged drug addiction.
Lamar had high hopes for the trip, but a source tells us it was planned as a favor to him.
"The entire visit to NYC and his chances of actually getting a job with the NBA is more for show than anything. His agent is trying to get him conversations with teams to make it look like he is sought-after, to make him feel good. His agent has players that teams actually want and they are speaking with Lamar as a favor," a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Should the Lakers take a chance on Lamar? Sound off below!

The Lakers are not going to take Lamar Odom back as long as he's still using or as long as he is still attached to the Kardashian Circus. It is too distracting for their mission because he cannot concentrate or devote himself to his teammates and coach. That is just another pie in the sky made-up bit of non-news to get people to read your site.

David Ben-Gurion on Anwar Sadat's Wanting Peace in 1971: He Isn't Convinced
- 1
What happened was this: On May 14, 1948, Ben-Gurion proclaimed the independence of the State of Israel. Thousands of Egyptian troops invaded the new nation the following day, and for the next thirty years, armistices and truces notwithstanding, the two neighbors were at war. During that time, the subject of peace with Egypt was omnipresent. Here Ben-Gurion discusses the prospects, seven years away yet from the Camp David Accords.
Peace in the Middle East depends on Egypt and on Russia. Mr. Rogers arrived yesterday to Israel and he came to see me. He told me that Saadat wants to have peace. If this is a fact - than we will have peace. But I am not convinced yet that Saadat wants to have peace. A great deal depends on Russia. We have to wait and see.
The Soviet Union's closest ally in the Mideast was Egypt, and it provided that state with military and economic aid – until, that is, the summer of 1972, when Sadat expelled the Russians. But it would take Sadat traveling to Jerusalem in November, 1977, to begin the peace process in earnest.

Uniprix Group is heading into 2013 with a reinforced brand and a bigger presence in its Quebec market area.
Retail News Breaks
MONTREAL – Uniprix Group is heading into 2013 with a reinforced brand and a bigger presence in its Quebec market area.
The Canadian drug chain expects to add 15 affiliated pharmacies this year following the addition of 10 in 2012 and eight in 2011, according to François Castonguay, group president and chief executive officer. Overall, the retailer currently has 387 stores.
Along with new locations, Uniprix has been rolling out two new drug store banners: Uniprix Santé, which replaces Unipharm, and Uniprix Clinique, which replaces Uniclinique.
"2012 saw the Uniprix brand extend its reach enormously. We began implementing our banner strategy, under which all banners will include the Uniprix brand in their name: Uniprix, Uniprix Clinique and Uniprix Santé," Castonguay stated. "In the coming weeks, there will be over 300 affiliated pharmacies with the Uniprix name on their doors."
A new store design also made its debut late last year. In November, the chain drug retailer opened its first "family pharmacist" concept store, building on its "family" marketing strategy.
"Now all our new affiliated pharmacies and some existing stores will have design features that have been carefully thought out to ensure that people remain our core focus," Castonguay said.
For example, the new format's pharmacy department is designed to be more inviting and promote interaction with patients. At the pharmacy counter, when patients identify themselves the pharmacy technical assistant (PTA) has immediate access to on-screen patient records.
"This new environment is conducive to one-on-one discussions. Patients talk about their needs and the PTA listens, ready to answer their questions," explained Castonguay. "A fact worth noting is that patients pay for their prescriptions right there, at the pharmacy counter. That's something new and unique."
In addition, the pharmacist now works in the center of the pharmacy department and is the one who gives patients their medications and advises them as needed, he noted.
"Most importantly, we've put our pharmacists back in direct touch with patients and their needs. Because, after all, having more time to talk to your pharmacist is 'good for you,' as our slogan says," he added.
Pharmacy ergonomics were also improved and resulted in a revamping of the drug storage area, saving PTAs up to three kilometers of walking each day. "Plus, by re-examining every aspect of how the pharmacy operates and making improvements, we have cut patient wait times by around 30% — a huge accomplishment," Castonguay commented.
Uniprix's new store concept features other innovations as well. Upon entering the store, the first thing customers see is the sleek, softly lit dermocosmetic center. Both men and women can have their the skin on their face and hands analyzed by consultants specially trained on the use of the Dermo-Analyzer. There's also a "tester bar" that enables customers to try dermocosmetics designed to meet the needs identified in the dermo-analysis.
"2012 marked the Uniprix Group's 35th year in business. Our anniversary celebrations and activities helped us surpass our two objectives: significantly increase both sales and Uniprix brand awareness," Castonguay said.

Tel: 49 40 822 550
Concierge.com's insider take:
Sitting a few miles west of town overlooking the Elbe River traffic—including the occasional horizon-blocking cruise ship—Jacob's is a Michelin-starred classic without the stuffy pretension. It's far from cheap: Prix fixe lunch menus start at about $85, but delicacies such as Bresse pigeon and a meltingly tender calf's head in a delicate tomato compote deliver sophisticated and satisfying flavor. The wine list is encyclopedic (800–1,000 bottles), including several excellent 2005 Rieslings by the glass. Getting there (by car, if at all possible—otherwise, it's a bit inconvenient to reach) takes you along much of Hamburg's prime real estate overlooking the river.

Race, class and natural disasters
To be sure, some reporters sidled up to the race and class issue. I heard them ask the storm's New Orleans victims why they hadn't left town when the evacuation call came. Many said they were broke—"I live from paycheck to paycheck," explained one woman. Others said they didn't own a car with which to escape and that they hadn't understood the importance of evacuation.

At many restaurants the service is the biggest problem. Time and time again, I find service so bad that it distracts me from the food, from the room and from having a good time. And so its great to see a NYT Blog publishing a list of 100 things restaurants staffers should never do. This two-part article has some very good advice for anyone in the service industry. In my opinion, front of house managers should recite, print, and laminate.

Gyeonggi-do (Hangul: 경기도, Korean pronunciation: [kjʌŋ.ɡi.do]) is the most populous province in South Korea. Its name, Gyeonggi means "the area surrounding capital". Thus Gyeonggi-do can be translated as "province surrounding Seoul". The provincial capital is located at Suwon. Seoul—South Korea's largest city and national capital—is located in the heart of the province, but has been separately administered as a provincial-level special city since 1946. Incheon—South Korea's third largest city—is located on the coast of the province, but has been similarly administered as a provincial-level metropolitan city since 1981. The three administrations between them cover 11,730 km2, with a combined population of 25.6 million—amounting to over half of the entire population of South Korea.
Gyeonggi Province has been a politically important area ever since 18 B.C., when Korea was divided into three nations during the Period of the Three Kingdoms. Ever since King Onjo, the founder of Baekje (one of the three kingdoms), founded the government in Wirye Castle of Hanam, the Han River valley was absorbed into Goguryeo in the mid-fifth century, and became Silla's territory in the year 553 (the 14th year of King Jinheung). Afterward, the current location of Gyeonggi Province, one of the nine states of Unified Silla (nation unifying the three kingdoms), was called Hansanju.
The Gyeonggi region started to rise as the central region of Goryeo Dynasty as the King Taejo of Goryeo (dynasty following Unified Silla) set up the capital in Gaesong. Since 1018 (the 9th year of Goryeo's King Hyeonjong), this area has been officially called "Gyeonggi."
During the Joseon Dynasty, which was founded after the Goryeo Dynasty, King Taejo of Joseon set the capital in Hanyang, while restructuring Gyeonggi's area to include Gwangju, Suwon, Yeoju, and Anseong, along with the southeast region. Since the period of King Taejong and Sejong the Great, the Gyeonggi region has become very similar to the current administrative area of Gyeonggi Province.
In 1895 the 23-Bu system, which reorganized administrative areas at that time, was effected, and the Gyeonggi region was divided into Hanseong (Hanseong-bu; 한성부; 漢城府), Incheon (Incheon-bu; 인천부; 仁川府), Chungju (Chungju-bu; 충주부; 忠州府), Gongju (Gongju-bu; 공주부; 公州府), and Gaesong (Gaesong-bu; 개성부; 開城府).
During the Japanese colonial period Hanseong-bu was incorporated into Gyeonggi Province. On October 1, 1910, it was renamed Gyeongseong-bu and a provincial government was placed in Gyeongseong-bu according to the reorganization of administrative districts.
After liberation and the foundation of two Korean governments, Gyeonggi Province and its capital, Seoul, were separated with partial regions of Gyeonggi Province being incorporated into Seoul thereafter. Additionally, Gaesong became North Korean territory, the only city to change control after the countries were divided at the 38th parallel, which is now part of North Korea's North Hwanghae province.
In 1967 the seat of the Gyeonggi provincial government was transferred from Seoul to Suwon. After Incheon separated from Gyeonggi Province in 1981, Gyeonggi regions such as Ongjin and Ganghwa were incorporated into Incheon in 1995.
Gyeonggi Province is the western central region of the Korean Peninsula, which is vertically situated in Northeast Asia, and is located between east longitude of 126 and 127, and north latitude of 36 and 38. Its dimension is 10% of Korea's territory, 10,171 square kilometres (3,927 sq mi).[1] It is in contact with 86 kilometres (53 mi) of cease-fire line to the north, 413 kilometres (257 mi) of coastline to the west, Gangwon Province to the east, North Chungcheong Province and South Chungcheong Province to the south, and has Seoul, the capital of the Republic of Korea, situated in its center. The location of its provincial government is Suwon, but some of its government buildings are situated in Uijeongbu for the administrative conveniences of the northern region.
The climate of Gyeonggi Province is the continental climate, which has a severe differentiation of temperature between summer and winter, and has distinctions of four seasons. Spring is warm, summer is hot and humid, autumn is cool, and winter is cold and snowy. The annual average temperature is between 11–13 °C (52–55 °F), where the temperature in the mountainous areas to the northeast is lower and the coastal areas to the southwest is higher. For January's average temperature, the Gyeonggi Bay is −4 °C (25 °F), the Namhangang (River) Basin is −4 – −6 °C (25–21 °F), and the Bukhangang (River) and Imjingang Basins are −6 – −8 °C (21–18 °F). It becomes colder and higher in temperature differentiation from coastal to inland areas. Summer has a lower local differentiation compared to winter, and since the inland areas are hotter than the Gyeonggi Bay area, the hottest area is Pyeongtaek, making the average temperature of August 26.5 °C (79.7 °F).
The annual average precipitation is around 1,100 millimetres (43 in), with a lot of rainfall. It is rainy in summer and dry during winter. The northeastern inland areas of Bukhangang and the upper stream of Imjingang has a precipitation of 1,300–1,400 millimetres (51–55 in), whereas the coastal area has only 900 millimetres (35 in) of precipitation.
Nature and national parks[edit]
The topography of Gyeonggi Province is divided into southern and northern areas by the Han River, which flows from east to west. The area north to the Han River is mainly mountainous, while the southern area is mainly plain.
The configuration of Gyeonggi Province is represented by Dong-go-seo-jeo (high in the east and low in the west), where the Gwangju Mountain Range and the Charyeong Mountain Range spreads from the east and drops in elevation in the west. The fields of Gimpo, Gyeonggi, and Pyeongtaek extend to the west.
Gyeonggi Province boasts beautiful nature stocked with rivers, lakes, mountains, and seas. Its representative rivers are the Hangang, Imjingang, and Anseongcheon (Stream), which flow into the Yellow Sea, with Gyeonggi Plain, Yeonbaek Plain and Anseong Plain forming a fertile field area around the rivers. The Gwangju Mountain Range and the Charyeong Mountain Range stretch toward China in Gyeonggi Province. Most of the mountains that rise above 1,000 metres (3,300 ft), such as Myeongjisan (1,267 metres (4,157 ft)), Gukmangbong (1,168 metres (3,832 ft)) and Yongmunsan (1,157 metres (3,796 ft)), are included in the Gwangju Mountain Range. It has a developed granite area which, due to the granite's exfoliation effect, makes it full of strangely shaped cliffs and deep valleys. The Charyeong Mountain Range forms the boundary between Gyeonggi Province and North Chungcheong Province, but is a relatively low-altitude hilly area.
For National Parks within Gyeonggi Province, there is Bukhansan National Park located in Uijeongbu. For Provincial Parks, there are the Chukryeongsan Natural Recreation Area, Namhan-sanseong Provincial Park, Gapyeong Yeoninsan Provincial Park, and Mulhyanggi Arboretum. Besides the listed, the scenery of well-known mountains including Soyosan of Dongducheon City, Yongmunsan of Yangpyeong-gun, and Gwanaksan of Anyang•Gwacheon Cities, along with Hangang and Imjingang are the famous tourism sites of Gyeonggi Province.
Gyeonggi Province has shown a rapid increase in population due to the modernization and urbanization of the Republic of Korea. Its population has increased from 2,748,765 in 1960 to 3,296,950 in 1970, 4,933,862 in 1980, 6,619,629 in 1992, 8,982,298 in 2000 and 12,071,884 in 2010. In 2010 there were 4,527,282 households, with an average of 3 people per family. There were 6,112,339 males and 5,959,545 females. The population density was 1119 people/km2, almost double the national average of 486 people/km2.
Excluding the two metropolitan cities (Seoul and Incheon), the most heavily populated area as of 2010 is Suwon (1,104,681) followed by Seongnam (996,524), Goyang (962,297), Yongin (891,708), Bucheon (890,875) and Ansan (753,862). The lowest populated area in 2010 was Yeoncheon (45,973) followed by Gapyeong (59,916) and Gwacheon (72,595).
As the backbone of Seoul in the means of manufacturing complex, Gyeonggi Province is evenly developed in various industries such as heavy industry (electronics, machine, heavy and chemical industry, steel), light industry (textile), and farm, livestock and fisheries industry. Due to the influence of recent high wages, the weight of various manufacturing industries has decreased in Korea's economy. Gyeonggi Province is also making efforts in many ways to improve and modernize the conventional industry structure. Gyeonggi Province is unsparingly investing in the promotion of service industries related to soft competitive power such as state-of-the-art IT industry, designing, conventions and tourism, along with its great leap as a commercial hub in Northeast Asia using the Pyeongtaek Harbor. Besides this, it is famous for its special local products such as Icheon rice and Icheon/Gwangju ceramics. Also, the manufacturing base of global IT industries that represent Korea, such as Suwon Samsung Semi-conductor, Paju LG LCD Complex, and Icheon Hynix are located in Gyeonggi Province. Yeolmae Food also has its headquarters here.
Administrative area[edit]
Gyeonggi Province consists of 28 cities (special: 7, normal: 21) and three counties.[2] This is because many counties were elevated to city status owing to the influence of Seoul's new town development plan. Special cities are especially concentrated in the southern area of Gyeonggi Province.

Let's look at your family reunion committees; who they will consist of and what their responsibilities will be. These committees will be the decision makers – so you need some "doers" to fill these positions.
Be prepared that since you are the one that wants to see this event happen, you will probably end up being the Chairperson, the organizer, the Planner, "Chief" overseer of all - and the one with the "final say".
As the Chairperson, your responsibilities will include:
You may also want to be a part of most of the family reunion committees. This is a way to be sure tasks are being done in a timely manner; remember you are the "Chief" overseer.
Your "bean-counter", or Treasurer, should be a very responsible person who will handle all aspects of your family reunion budgets and finances.
This person's responsibilities will be:
Your Secretary will be someone who has computer skills (and who doesn't these days) to be able to handle all your correspondence and communications.
A Communications Subcommittee, will be set-up; it will be their responsibility to design a survey form and mail out a family reunion announcement, invitations and flyers to your event. They will also be responsible for making sure everyone in the family knows what's going on either by way of mail outs, emails or phone.
This will be a very demanding position, so you know the one to fill it; it's the family "detail" person, someone who has done some major meal planning, catering or hotel planning.
This person should be able to delegate since the following subcommittees will be under this category.
Each of these subcommittees should have a Director who will report back to the Food, Beverage and Accommodations Coordinator.
Your family "party animal" will fill this position. This Coordinator and the Activities Subcommittee will be responsible for the activities that will be of interest to all age groups.
You will notice that I mentioned "subcommittees" in several places. If you are planning a large family reunion then you will need all the help you can get.
To do this, the formation of subcommittees is a great way to get a lot of family members involved; this will insure you have enough help for each task. It will also add to the successful outcome of the planning of your family reunion committees.
Whenever you talk to family members about your event, mention you need help on your family reunion committees; many members may come forward and offer to help. They may even want to serve on more than one committee; if they have the time and energy – GREAT – grab them!!
One thing for sure, you can count on these individuals being in attendance at your family reunion.
OH NO!!! You find you are having trouble recruiting people for your committees. They say they will help - then they are too busy.
NO WORRIES!!! Here's a suggestion to resolve that problem. MyEvent.com offers a free family reunion website package that provides a way for your relatives to register and pay for your event online. Your free family reunion website will also be easy to share with relatives because it has social media tools built right into the webpage.
However, if it is your goal to get people excited and increase attendance at the reunion then you may be more interested in the premium package.
Check it out for free for 7 days free!! You will see how helpful it can be in relieving some of the burden that may fall back into your lap. AND . . . they offer a FREE ebook "Family Reunion Planning 101" - a $29.95 value.

Nfl Predictions
02 Oct 14USA TODAY Sports' Week 5 NFL picks
The Patriots are reeling. The Bengals are rolling. Will the script flip on Sunday night? Our experts are divided on this game (and several others) as Week 5 approaches.
The Patriots are reeling. The Bengals are rolling. Will the script flip on Sunday night? Our experts are divided on this game (and several others) as Week 5 approaches.
"The last time a team gave up [more than] 31 five straight times before the Giants was the CHICAGO Cardinals."
What you need to know about week 5, starting with what needs to happen in Houston.
"Peyton Manning is on pace for a zillion touchdowns, and Jimmy Graham is playing tight end as well as anyone has ever played the position, and Robert Mathis is on pace to break the single-season sack record. But if I had to pick one person who has done his job the best so far this season, it wouldn't be any of those players — or any player. It would be Chiefs coach Andy Reid."
"Some NFL teams have services that appear to be nonessential. They may have even shut those services down. Week 5 taught us just how long a contender can survive without pass protection or a first-quarter offense, or a quarterback who goes ten passes without drilling a defender in the torso. The answer, which may be a lesson to the rest of America, was not very long."
"Romo is the most must-see player in the league today because no one in the league better combines the ability to do something spectacular with the ability to fail."
"Forget that Romo had just set a Cowboys' record for passing yards with 506 and thrown five touchdown passes in what might have been the most entertaining game of the season. The interception is what will linger."
Poor QB play defined Sunday night's meeting between the San Francisco 49ers and the Houston Texans. Matt Schaub's tenure may have even come to an end due to his poor play. Click "MORE" for the best takes and analysis from Sunday Night Football.
The Broncos beat the Cowboys in a 51-48 shootout, despite Tony Romo throwing for more than 500 yards and five TDs.
"Cool stat: Peyton Manning's rushing TD today is the 18th of his career. That ties him with …. Archie Manning."
"In this pass happy NFL.. The Bengals have gone 19 straight games without giving a 300 yard game to a passer."
"Peyton Manning didn't tell anyone, even his linemen, he was running the naked bootleg. Decided to do it just before the snap."
Tony Romo could have broken an NFL record in Sunday's game. Instead, he pulled a Romo.
"Giants dropped to 0-5 today. Jadaveon Clowney will fit in well on that defensive line."
"Packers LB Clay Matthews suffered a broken thumb today. Unclear whether he'll be able to play through it."
"The 52.2 passer rating by Brady today vs. Bengals unofficially is his seventh lowest."
"And Eli Manning now has 12 INTs, 2 fumbles lost, has been sacked 15 times, with 8 TD passes."
"[LeSean] McCoy's 33 rushing TDs moved him out of a tie with QB Randall Cunningham and into fourth place in Eagles history."
"He's probably going to shatter all the Bears records by the time he's done at the receiver position." — Bears WR Brandon Marshall, on fellow WR Alshon Jeffrey after his 218-yard performance.
"He was anxious to play and it showed. He played well and he's just what we need." — Jaguars WR coach Jerry Sullivan, on Justin Blackmon's return to the lineup.

I just found a place that has used corny kegs for sale anything against them or any problems? Also they are pin lock, I am a beginner with kegs so I'm not sure what the different styles are for exactly like ball or pin lock....and with these kegs can you carbonate with both priming with sugar or co2 tank?
Very few homebrewers buy new corny kegs. There's no problem with used ones, you might just need to replace the o-rings.
Pin locks are a little wider than ball locks, which may be an issue with space in a kegerator ( that little amount could be the difference between fitting 3 or 4 kegs in a kegerator ). Used cornies are fine. As mentioned above, you just need to break them apart and replace the o-rings ( buy o-rings from McMaster-Carr and save a ton of money - search this forum for part #'s ). The big issue would be dents around the opening of the keg, which may allow co2 to escape if they can't seal properly. Yes, you can carbonate wwith co2 as well as priming sugar in a keg. I naturally carbed a mild a couple years back and it was great. I saw a brand new keg on sale for $78 the other day ( I think it was posted on Homebrew Finds ). I wonder if this is an indication that prices for new ones are coming down. It's getting to the point where the used ones are in short supply, and their prices are getting higher and higher.
BN Army for Life!!!
Most vendors that sell reconditioned kegs, will have both the ball lock and pin lock styles. The Ball lock are becoming harder to find in bulk, so we think there will be a big swing to the pin lock style. You will be able to prime or force carbonate with CO2 in either style. Feel free to live chat with our guys or send us an email.
Beer and Wine Making Supplies since 1995www.midwestsupplies.com
Thanks I think I'm guna have to buy them then. But what exactly is the ball or pin lock for? Is one harder to hookup than the other?
they're both easy to hook up, it just has to do with the gas/liquid terminals that attach to the top of the keg.. doesn't matter which you get, just try to stay consistent if you get more than one so you only need one type of connections in your setup
~ A fine beer may be judged with only one sip, but it's better to be thoroughly sure.DOWN THE HATCH BREWINGStainless Hop Spider | Wooden Brew Rig | Dual Hinge Keezer BuildPrimaries.. oxy :-( Keg 1: Apfelwein | Keg 2: BlackEyePA version2 | Keg 3: Summer Saison Bottles: lots full and even more empty
Alright thanks
They are both the same volume, but as mentioned above, the pin locks (Coke style) are wider in diameter and shorter. You may need the skinnier ball lock (Pepsi style) to fit in your fridge or you might need the shorter pin locks to fit so try to work out your dimensions before you buy. Also, as mentioned, both are easy and neither is better, but ball lock fittings are a bit easier to find (same price). O-rings are cheap, easy, and mandatory to replace of course, and you can even replace the posts. You can put ball lock posts on a pin lock keg, and vice versa. One up on the make sure the main seal lip is in perfect shape because a new o-ring won't fix a dented lip. Another consideration is that the ball lock kegs usually have a pressure relief that you can operate manually any time you like. The pin lock kegs usually don't have this, but just a pressure based pressure relief system which is more for safety, not for convenience. I came across free pin locks so I built a 6 keg kegerator but when the fridge had to be replaced the kegs wouldn't fit so I was forced to switch to ball locks. The only real difference between the two (the pressure relief) made me happy with the way things turned out.
Yea I'm planning on building a keggerator I've already got the fridge just need corny kegs and fittings and hoses thanks for the advice

How the rebate program works The visitors rebate tax program is administered through the Canada Revenue Agency. According to media relations agent Beatrice Fenelon, all major cities have an official tax rebate office tourists can visit for a refund. Canadian duty-free stores at airports and border crossings also offer instant rebate services. All you need are your receipts. There are also private refund companies that may offer to file a rebate application on your behalf for a fee, such as the National Tax Refund office in Toronto's Eaton Centre, but which are not associated with the CRA. If you opt to claim your rebate after you return home, you simply have to fill out a form and send it in with the receipts of the items you purchased. Many hotels and duty-free gift shops have the forms, but you can also find them online. It typically takes four to six weeks to receive your money if you go the mail route. Eligible goods Eligible goods include most purchases that you intend to take home with you. So, meals and services such as dry cleaning aren't eligible. Neither are car rentals, entertainment expenses (such as movie tickets or ski lift tickets), alcohol and tobacco products. You also can't claim a tax rebate on small items. According to the Fenelon, "each receipt has to be over $50 and the total of the receipts has to be $200." Here are some other tips to keep in mind when trying to clam a GST refund:
Tour packages bought through an agent or otherwise are eligible for a rebate equal to half the tax amount on the receipt. You can also claim taxes paid for short-term accommodations for fewer than 30 days, be it a hotel room or a camping spot, provided you paid for less than one month of continuous occupancy and you have a receipt that shows the number of nights for which you paid. Keep in mind that if you haven't spent at least $200 in combined accommodation and goods, you aren't eligible for a rebate. So, have the receipts for your goods stamped as proof of export and use them next time you visit. Before you leave For more information, check out the CRA's information on GST refunds for visitors.

Primary Area Planning - Consultation
The Education and Libraries (NI) Order 1986 (Articles 5 and 6) outlines the duty of the Education and Library Boards to secure efficient and sufficient provision of primary and secondary education within the Board area to meet the needs of all pupils.
In September 2011, the Education Minister commissioned the Board, working in close conjunction with CCMS and other school sectors, to commence a process of collective, strategic planning for area provision.
The North Eastern Education and Library Board has, since its inception in 1972, remained committed to excellence in the delivery of education so that every pupil can realise their potential and contribute to a caring, inclusive and progressive society. In striving to realise this aspiration, the Board has aimed to ensure that every pupil has:
access to a broad and balanced curriculum with opportunities to realise his or her potential;
an education in which the learning outcomes are appropriate to their needs;
access to quality teaching delivered in a caring and supportive environment;
education delivered in modern, well-resourced facilities, suitable for the delivery of education in the twenty-first century.
Draft Primary Area Plans – 2013
The Board would like to thank all those who took time to respond to the NEELB Draft Primary Area Plan during 2013. We received over 2700 responses and are presently continuing to work with a range of partners including School Principals and Governors, CCMS, CnaG, NICIE and DENI to arrive at a final plan for all the Council Areas represented in the plan.

One of the biggest Ada Initiative projects to date has been our AdaCamp unconferences. We've held two in 2012, one in Melbourne Australia and one in Washington DC. Our attendees report things like: "one of the best conferences I've been to!" and "probably life altering in my case".
Some of the AdaCamp alumni are supporting our fundraising drive! In order to run more AdaCamps, the Ada Initiative needs your donations. We're aiming to have 1000 donors by the end of October, to allow us to work on our programs full-time and improve women's participation, leadership and belonging in open technology and culture.
AdaCamper Netha Hussain, who you met before in our Meet an AdaCamper interviewers, writes:
The Ada Initiative is a non-profit working founded by my friends Mary Gardiner and Valerie Aurora to support women in open source, Wikipedia etc. I was invited to the Ada Camp held in Washington D.C last July, and the experience was truly awesome! Donate now to support their great work or spread the word!
AdaCamper Nele Noppe writes:
In short, [AdaCamp DC] was fantastic, not in the least because the organizers had explicitly invited people from fannish backgrounds and created a very welcoming atmosphere. That enabled us to launch right into talking about fan culture and open stuff without any of the non-fannish people questioning whether we belonged at a "techie" unconference. Any fan who's even vaguely interested in open stuff should have the opportunity to attend an event like this. Your head will explode and it will feel great.
Fortunately for all of us, the Ada Initiative is holding a donation drive right now to bolster their long-term finances so they can organize more AdaCamps in as many different locations as possible. DC was the second AdaCamp. The first took place in Melbourne, and the organizers are hoping to branch out to Europe and India.
Holding AdaCamp in such disparate locations is the only way to really attract the sort of diversity that the Ada Initiative says it wants to achieve… If you can, please consider donating so AdaCamp can happen somewhere near you. You want to go!
The Ada Initiative needs your help to commit to future AdaCamps around the world. Support more AdaCamps and other events by becoming an Ada's Angel donor today!

The remaining Larraz painting, The Review (1988), is beautiful and fraught with meaning. On the surface, it's a simple portrayal of a woman bearing a large bowl of tropical fruit on her head as she walks alongside a whitewashed wall. Larraz draws on an amazing array of whites for the woman's dress, for the wall itself, and for the building beyond it.
But as with so much Cuban painting, there's a wealth of metaphor at work. The barrels of four cannons jut out above (and cast their shadows upon) the wall past which the woman walks, reminding her of her place in a society dominated by a military dictatorship. At the same time, there's a purposefulness to her stride, and the fresh fruit atop her head suggests life and vitality against the backdrop of stone and metal. And the small hole in the wall through which seeps rusty water can even be read as an ominous portent, a slow, steady erosion of the power looming behind the wall.
Another Cuban, Tomás Sánchez, contributes Desde las Hierbas (2000), a small tempera rendering of a grassy landscape that, lovely as it is, only hints at the grandeur of the artist's much larger paintings.
Also worth noting are a pair of works in oil and wax by Nicaraguan Armando Morales, Two Nudes, One Undressing (1974-82) and Granada: La Port et le Baigneus (1991). In both, Morales has an uncanny way of making human flesh look sculptural, almost as if it has been carved from stone or cast in burnished metal.
The Bagleys' showstopper, for me, is a 1982 oil called Nemesis, by Mexican artist Guillermo Meza. It's a portrait of a woman with a headdress and gown made of petal-like forms that seem to cascade down and over her, partially revealing her breasts. Part of the garment to the lower right of the canvas looks to have been bloodied, and her solemn face is half-concealed by a strange veil of some sort that blocks her eyes. I have no idea what it all adds up to, but the ineffable air of mystery is irresistible.
If there's a complaint to be lodged against the Bagley collection, at least on the basis of this exhibition, it's that more than half the works included were created in the past 25 years, which necessarily means that much of this art has yet to stand the test of time. That's a minor quibble, of course, applicable more to those who approach art as investment and less to those who, like the Bagleys, are governed by the pleasure they take from their collection. As they put it: "We never anticipated the importance that living with art would make in our lives. It's been a long and happy road we traveled together; it's not over yet."

The problem with Iraq: Is it faulty US perception?
President Bush insists that the current violence in Iraq is the work of "a few people" and "violent groups." If this is the situation, it should be relatively easy to control, and US actions should have broad Iraqi support. Neither appears to be the case.
Members of Iraq's Governing Council have objected to the assault on Fallujah and have urged talks. Many in the new Iraqi Army and police refuse to confront fellow Iraqis. The Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, a significant Shiite Muslim leader, is taking a soft line toward rival cleric Moqtada al-Sadr.
Is the US once more acting abroad on the basis of perceptions less related to realities on the ground than to American objectives and hopes?
The US attacks on Fallujah, in reprisal for the death and mutilation of the four civilian contractors, are understandable in an American context. Those responsible must be brought to justice; failure to react would have been seen as weakness. Although the US insists that it is applying force in a discriminating way, casualties among noncombatants cannot be avoided. In a land of tribes and extended families, each Iraqi killed increases the numbers who hate the US.
The Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) closed Mr. Sadr's newspaper, has threatened his arrest, and now confronts his Mehdi army militia. The working assumption of the CPA has been that Sadr is not broadly popular and represents only a fringe of majority Shiites. If Sadr is of such marginal importance, why did the authority take the highly risky step of closing his newspaper? Sadr is Iraqi - as is his militia - and whatever the views of other Iraqis may be, it is difficult for them openly to oppose fellow countrymen challenging an occupying power.
The coalition is talking tough: Sadr and his fighters are "thugs." They may be, but when only Americans are using such terms and even Sadr's Iraqi enemies are silent, the words have little credibility.
