Hong Kong Marathon organisers have banned under 16s from the event's 10-kilometre race, citing an "unhealthy trend" of overzealous parents and coaches pushing youngsters to train for endurance races.Sunday, 6 October, 2013, 3:55am
In 1997, the first Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon had 1,000 runners on a route to Shenzhen to mark the handover. Since then, it has gone from strength to strength. This year's, in February, attracted 72,000 participants, with over 14,000 doing the full marathon.5 Apr 2013 - 3:02am
Two athletes competing in last Sunday's wheelchair half-marathon at the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon event have heavily criticised race organisers. One of them even claimed he was manhandled by marshals.4 Mar 2013 - 5:08am
Benjamin Hung Pi-cheng has a dream - that one day the Hong Kong Marathon can be among the biggest and best in the world. The Standard Chartered Bank chief is realistic enough to concede his dream encompasses the whole shebang - all three categories of races - which successfully concluded last Sunday.3 Mar 2013 - 4:00am
We would like to point out that the article "Smog in Pearl Delta 'worse than Beijing'" misrepresented how air pollution in the Pearl River Delta should be understood. For those of us who study air quality in the delta, the air pollution there is not worse than that in Beijing.28 Feb 2013 - 3:37am 4 comments
What's being said on Facebook about hopes that the HK marathon can become one of the best in the world, growth of eco-tours in HK, and claims by Japan's premier Shinzo Abe that China is teaching anti-Japanese sentiments in its schools.27 Feb 2013 - 4:55am
The Hong Kong Amateur Athletic Association said the annual showpiece had reached bursting point with room only for 2,000 more runners this year. The total entry was a record 72,000, with nearly 7,000 failing to show. Last year, 62,300 started.25 Feb 2013 - 8:11am 1 comment
Alison Chow Chi-ngan defied the odds to finish as Hong Kong's leading woman in the marathon - five weeks after having knee surgery. It placed her sixth out of the 14 top runners in the Asian Marathon Championships, run concurrently with the marathon, and more importantly secured her elite funding at the Sports Institute as she pursues a dream of representing Hong Kong at the Olympics.25 Feb 2013 - 4:13am
The race might be backed by a bank but Julius Maisei's plans for the "life-changing" prize money he won at the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon yesterday is to take the cash and run - as far from a bank as he can.25 Feb 2013 - 8:12am
Spurred on by the memory of his recently deceased mother, roving Australian architect Clinton Mackevicius stormed to victory in the 10km men's elite race.25 Feb 2013 - 4:13am
The triathlete and sometime runner overcame a pile-up just after the start to win in 39 minutes and 32 seconds and credited her ability to overcome the pain that followed her fall to a rigorous training schedule.25 Feb 2013 - 4:13am
The Japanese runner finished in 1:08.49, well ahead of Hong Kong's Thomas Kiprotich (1:11.23) and John Duenas of the Philippines (1:13.18).25 Feb 2013 - 4:13am
Christy Yiu Kit-ching made it a hat-trick of victories in the women's half-marathon but still walked from the course shaking her head and claiming she had got her race plan wrong.25 Feb 2013 - 4:13am
The Ethiopian smashed the course record last year by 3-1/2 minutes to earn US$85,000, and though this year she couldn't pocket another new-record bonus, it was still not a bad payday for two hours, 30 minutes and 49 seconds' work.25 Feb 2013 - 4:13am
All the captains of industry were put to shame by Jennifer Harvey, who won the Leaders Cup race. "I'm not used to being chased by so many men," laughed Harvey, 44, after winning the fun run, an easy 1.8-kilometre loop from Wan Chai Sports Ground to Victoria Park.25 Feb 2013 - 4:13am

Following the completion of the inaugural National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) Total Store Expo, held recently at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, exhibitors donated 6,000 pounds of consumer goods to be dispersed to various charitable organizations throughout the Las Vegas community.
NACDS worked with Sands Expo to donate leftover products to local non-profit organizations to be dispersed to those in need. Local non-profits will benefit from useful donations, ranging from cosmetics, health and hygiene products, food and beverages, household supplies to other consumer products available in chain pharmacies, the association noted.
The non-profit organizations that will receive goods from the product donation include The Teacher Exchange, which provides free resources to public classrooms; The Shade Tree, a 24-hour accessible shelter designed specifically to meet the needs of women and children; Three Square food bank; and Volunteers in Medicine of Southern Nevada.

Is the Nobody God in the flesh once again????

Anonymous Coward

God's spirit was poured on him when he was born.
What this means and what it doesnt mean?
It is certainly something rare and divine.
But in no way put him at the same standard as Jesus.
For having the spirit of God he inherited God's righteousness and his human traits possibly ressemble what one would expect if they were to walk with God in the flesh. From behaviour in society to moral standards.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves.
Jesus was atleast 2 "levels" higher, from the signals shown at the age of 12 and from the event that superseeded being baptized by John. If you guys know what Im talking about.
Thats why you cant say Nobody is God in the flesh.
Thats why he is described as just a light, while Jesus was many times reffered as the light.
The last servant, King of Jews is just a King, brought to judge the gentiles in the last days, to be one of the tests (thats why we cant talk about it openly, unless you are within the group of people who also were chosen to see him and there is a bunch of people on GLP. But none can go around telling their family and friends about it), of many, he will be the one we currently attribute the title of "The Antichrist" and the other is the Son of Man, the King of Kings, what most mistakenly call "the second coming of christ". Both will come from the same place, city of God, the true city of God, on the far east. A lot of people who know this much will fall for any blue bright meteors somewhere on Russia, just to exemplify the one last week.
Nobody is at a similar level of many major characters on through out history, like Isaac, David, Solomon, Jacob, Job, Joshua, the prophets, etc... Eventually he will be a notch higher though, but not by his own power. :D
This is quite like those kids comparing super heroes. Like the mightiest man is still below the lowest of the angels kind of thing. They do care about this hierarchy stuff more than we do, most of us are too concerned about what we will eat this day.
Even then still far below Jesus. So no, not God in the flesh, if you think, believe or say that, you will be surelly cast out, because thats subrepticious way to make you deny Jesus or shows that you dont have a proper understanding of their hierarchies and they offended.
The Bible itself tells you his name. It gives you many other data, like the city where he is from, what he will do, what he can do, how he behaves, what he will have to go through, even the limits of what he knows and can do.
I believe its all there codified on the Bible, and each person can see some parts of the mysteries, with always more and more to learn. I just wonder how much does people who have diligently seeked that wisdom managed to figure out. The whole thing is an incredibly advanced puzzle its hard to describe its complexity.
Please verify you're human:

EPS Outlook Range of $1.58 to $1.65
Company Announces
Enhanced Capital Return Program:
24% Dividend
Increase and New $1.2 Billion Share Repurchase Authorization
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Western Union Company (NYSE: WU) today reported financial results
for the 2014 fourth quarter and full year, and its financial outlook for
2015. The Company also announced that its board of directors declared a
substantially-increased quarterly cash dividend of $0.155 per common
share and approved a new $1.2 billion three-year share repurchase
For the 2014 full year, the Company reported a revenue increase of 1%,
or 4% on a constant currency basis. Operating margin improved to 20.3%
for the year, driven by efficiency initiatives, while earnings per share
increased 11% to $1.59 as a result of increased operating profit, a
lower effective tax rate, and fewer diluted shares outstanding. Cash
flow from operating activities was approximately $1 billion in 2014,
with $753 million returned to shareholders through dividends and share
"I am pleased with the 2014 results," said President and Chief
Executive Officer
Hikmet Ersek
. "We returned to revenue growth in
the consumer money transfer business, further expanded online and
account based capabilities, and exceeded our earnings expectations."
Ersek added, "We also further enhanced our compliance programs
around the world, while at the same time driving margin improvement and
generating strong cash flow. Consistent with our ongoing focus on
prudent capital allocation, we continued to return the majority of free
cash flow to shareholders in 2014. Our confidence in future cash flow
generation has allowed us to implement a substantial dividend increase
and a new share repurchase authorization."
Enhanced Capital Return Program
The Western Union board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend
of $0.155 per common share, which represents a 24% increase over the
previous quarterly dividend of $0.125 per common share. The dividend is
payable March 31, 2015, to stockholders of record at the close of
business on March 17, 2015. The board of directors also approved a new
$1.2 billion share repurchase authorization, which expires December 31,
Fourth Quarter 2014 Results
In the fourth quarter, revenues declined 1% compared to the prior year
period, or increased 4% on a constant currency basis. The differential
between reported and constant currency revenue was the result of
depreciation of the Argentine peso, the Euro, and various other major
currencies around the world, partially offset by the effect of the
Company's foreign exchange hedging programs.
Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C) revenues declined 2%, or increased 2%
constant currency, while transactions increased 2% in the quarter.
Westernunion.com C2C revenue increased 19%, including a negative 4%
impact from currency, on transaction growth of 27%. Electronic channels
revenue, which includes westernunion.com, account based money transfer
through banks, and mobile money transfer, increased 17% and represented
6% of total Company revenues in the quarter.
Consumer-to-Business (C2B) revenues grew 4% in the quarter, or 15%
constant currency. The differential between reported and constant
currency revenue changes in C2B was primarily the result of depreciation
of the Argentine peso compared to the prior year period.
Western Union Business Solutions revenues increased 1%, or 5% on a
constant currency basis.
Operating margin was 19.6% in the quarter, which compares to 16.8% in
the fourth quarter of 2013. The operating margin improvement primarily
resulted from cost savings initiatives and lower integration expenses.
Earnings per share increased 35% to $0.42 in the fourth quarter,
compared to $0.31 in the prior year period, as a result of increased
operating profit, a lower effective tax rate, and fewer diluted shares
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Raj Agrawal
added, "Efficiency initiatives helped us generate good profit growth in
the fourth quarter, despite some global currency and economic headwinds.
Our foreign exchange hedging programs also contributed to offsetting the
impact of the stronger dollar in the quarter, and should aid our 2015
results as well."
Cash flow from operating activities totaled approximately $1.0 billion
for the full year, with $753 million returned to shareholders through
$488 million of share repurchases and $265 million of dividends. In the
fourth quarter, the Company returned $108 million to shareholders
through $43 million of share repurchases and $65 million of dividends.
2015 Full Year Outlook
The Company's outlook for 2015 reflects its continuing focus on key
strategic imperatives: strengthening its consumer money transfer
business, with an emphasis on online and mobile expansion; expanding the
reach and penetration of Business Solutions; and generating and
deploying strong cash flow for shareholders.
The outlook also reflects the challenging macroeconomic environment,
including the adverse impact on revenue of the appreciation of the U.S.
dollar against major currencies around the world and the softening of
European and certain other economies; and competitive pressures in the
U.S. retail domestic money transfer business.
The Company anticipates foreign currency translation will negatively
impact revenues by approximately $300 million compared to 2014 rates.
This impact is net of an expected benefit of approximately $70 million
from foreign exchange hedges implemented to partially mitigate the
effect of major currency movements. Operating margins are expected to
benefit from previously implemented cost savings initiatives and the
foreign exchange hedges.
The effective tax rate is expected to increase from 12% in 2014 to
approximately 13% in 2015.
The Company expects the following outlook for 2015:

Earnings per Share
Cash Flow
Additional Statistics
Additional key statistics for the quarter and historical trends can be
found in the supplemental tables included with this press release.
Non-GAAP Measures
Western Union presents a number of non-GAAP financial measures because
management believes that these metrics provide meaningful supplemental
information in addition to the GAAP metrics and provide comparability
and consistency to prior periods. Constant currency results assume
foreign revenues are translated from foreign currencies to the U.S.
dollar, net of the effect of foreign currency hedges, at rates
consistent with those in the prior year.
These non-GAAP financial measures include revenue change constant
currency adjusted; Consumer-to-Consumer segment revenue change constant
currency adjusted; Consumer-to-Business segment revenue change constant
currency adjusted; Business Solutions segment revenue change constant
currency adjusted; and additional measures found in the supplemental
tables included with this press release.

Woo Whooo - Welcome to GW Wisconson!!!!
Hello there from your neighbor in MN! I am so very happy for you all! This has been long overdue!
Congradulations to you all! Here's hoping you will all have many happy hours spent here!
Happy Gardening! And don't forget to come visit your neighbors in the MN forum!
Your neighbor-
Thanks Julie! I'm hoping more people from Wisconsin will see this forum. Minn. is a beautiful state too, though you get colder and a lot more snow than where I live in Wisconsin. But I figure if plants can survive by you, then they'll make it by me just fine! :)
Hi Julie and Thank You.
I lived in your great city of Minneapolis one summer--liked it very much! Loved the Minneapolis Art Institute BTW.
I'm a couple of zones colder than you and so have appreciated the chance to have this forum. Thanks again.
Congratulations to all of you on your own forum! Elvis and all the others, I hope we don't totally lose all of you, but I guess we have kind of taken over the Far North forum in Canada, haven't we? We do tend to deal with a lot of issues that seem to be exclusively Canadian, eh but I guess that is because, relatively speaking, we are considered Far North - although to us the Arctic Circle is the FAR North. LOL
Anyway, it is long coming for you to have your very own forum but do still drop in to FN once in awhile and say "hi".
Hi Shauna: I used to post regularly on Far North too but I fell in love with another site (Gardenbuddies!!) and spend most of my internet time there.
I was glad to see the suggestion made for a Wisconsin forum after I realized that I wanted to learn/share with other gardeners from my state--which has its own unique gardening . Someone made the Suggestion on "Suggestions/Comments" and I added to it and helped bump the thread up until someone from I Village responded. And they did!

Does honor their own AD
"Hatfield Marinated Pork, Tender Lion or Fillets 50%" the fillet I purchased rang up full price. Show them the sign and they told me the fillet was already marked down. The sign did not say that nor did the label reflect that. No longer on sale, the label is still the same. I would have uploaded pics accept you can't on this sight. How convenient. Other products: No variety for years! Middlesex, NJ

TASTE News Service, March 30, 2015 - Mira Winery celebrated the Grand Opening of the Napa Valley Education Center & Tasting Room (NVEC) in mid-March. The facility gives visitors a unique Napa experience - a premiere wine destination but in Charleston, S.C., a historic culinary destination. It will offer a number of programs using interactive displays, videos and visiting speakers.
"The Napa Valley Education Center & Tasting Room is the first of its kind and we're thrilled it is finally open," said Mira President Jim Dyke, Jr. "Napa Valley is one of the leading winemaking regions in the world. We want to give people a sense of its place, educate them about wine and the variety of elements necessary to create wine. We believe the NVEC will become a community resource for locals and visitors alike."
Grand opening events included a blending session led by Mira winemaker Gustavo Gonzalez in which participants created their own wine. This was followed by a discussion of vineyard practices and the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley hosted by Steve Schweizer of Schweizer Vineyards. His conversation with wine club members is the first in the NVEC's Distinguished Speaker Series that brings leading members of the wine industry to Charleston to share their experiences and knowledge. "Napa Valley – where we source all of our grapes – has a certain magic to it. We try to capture some of that magic in every bottle of Mira, and we hope to express the same through the NVEC," Gonzalez said. "The excitement we've seen from visitors, residents, and guests suggests the NVEC is a must-stop."
The NVEC is distinguished by an 18 x 29 foot mural by famed artist David Boatwright on the side of the 68 ½ Queen Street building – an adaptation of Pierre-Auguste Renoir's "Luncheon of the Boating Party" named "Renoir Redux: Exceptional Pairings."
Mira began as a partnership between Gustavo Gonzalez, whose 20-year winemaking career started in a winery lab and led him to be head red Winemaker for Robert Mondavi Winery, and Dyke whose 20-year political career started with parking cars in the Senate Parking lot and led him to the White House. Wine writer Steve Heimoff noted, "Winemaker Gustavo Gonzalez left Robert Mondavi to do his own thing, and what an auspicious start … The wine is wonderful."
Editor's Note: If you're planning to visit Napa County wineries, we suggest you first check out Taste California Travel's Resource Directory. In it you will find links to the websites of nearly all the wineries, as well as links to hundreds of Lodging and Dining options in the area.
Double Chocolate Stout
Young's Brewery
Bedford England
Style: Stout
Alcohol: 5.25%
IBUs: Unknown
Serving Style: Bottles, cans and kegs (our sample from draft)
Availability: Year around in world-wide markets
Appearance: "Dark—somewhere between sable and black, we'd say."
Aroma: "Roasted coffee followed by dark chocolate."
Taste: "The chocolate and some feeling of sweetness really comes through early, but there's a counterpoint of slight bitterness toward the mid-to-late palate and on through to the finish."
Food Affinity: "Brownies with chunks of walnut (chocolate on chocolate). Or, for something savory maybe turkey mole or other slowly cooked meat in a rich sauce."
--Reviewer Dan Clarke enjoyed this stout on a brisk spring afternoon
2012 Napa Valley Chardonnay
Grgich Hills Estate
Napa Valley
Alcohol: 13.5%
Suggested Retail: $42
"Croatian immigrant Miljenko "Mike" Grgich secured his reputation for all time when a Chardonnay he made as winemaker at Napa's Chateau Montelena bested several top-quality French white Burgundies. That event is now known as the Judgement of Paris, which is also the name of a book by George Taber, a Time magazine reporter who attended the 1976 tasting. Soon after this triumph Mike opened his own winery in a partnership with Austin Hills of the Hills Bros. coffee family. Though Grgich Hills Estate makes several other varieties including a wonderful Zinfandel, it's probably best known for its Chardonnay. Nothing wrong with that.
"To oversimplify, French Chardonnay grown in Burgundy tends to have a leaner, less-buttery character than California examples of this variety. It's subtler and may be an acquired taste for many Americans. Grgich Chardonnays from the Napa Valley tend to show the sophistication of these white Burgundies, but with a California richness that seems to us to be the best of both worlds.
"Though Mike Grgich hasn't officially retired, his nephew Ivo Jeramaz carries the title Vice President of Vineyards and Winemaking and is pretty much responsible for the wine these days. Ivo is a proponent of natural grapegrowing and all of the winery's vineyards are now certified as organic. Most California Chardonnay wines undergo a process called malolactic fermentation, which softens the taste and may make them more attractive in the near-term. Because Grgich Chardonnay doesn't follow this winemaking process, it retains a natural acidity which tends to make the wine a better match for food and may improve its ability to age. Complexity is enhanced by a technique known as sur lie aging in which the juice is periodically stirred or otherwise agitated with the lees (spent yeast cells). While the process may not sound appealing, it yields wines with greater richness and complexity.
"The 2012 Grgich Hills Chardonnay shows some aromas of apple and hazelnuts, followed by layered flavors of apple and melon. Lovely long finish for this elegant Chardonnay."
Food Affinity: "It wouldn't be bad with just simple barbecued chicken, but it is special enough to justify spending on more upscale pairing. How about scallops or almost any preparation of lobster?"

Soft Cover, 311 pages, $18.95
Taste of Beirut by Joumana Accad is much more than a collection of Lebanese recipes, albeit they alone deserve high praise. Anyone interested in food from the Middle East who wants to learn about the do's and don'ts of cooking and eating, the "Lebanese Larder," and some of the history and origins of Lebanese food will enjoy the book not only as a fine cookbook, but as a good read. From mezzes (appetizers) to desserts such as baklava, Accad presents easy-to-make recipes using fresh ingredients in a simple format with mouthwatering images. Recipes are organized by category: Breads, Breakfast and Brunch; Sandwiches and Soups; Mezzes: Dips, Finger Foods, Salads and Sides, Main Courses and Desserts.
A simple dish such as Dandelion Greens, (called a "salad" in the Middle East) using dandelion greens sautéed in olive oil with onions and garlic, seasoned with salt, pepper and lemon juicer and topped with toasted pine nuts is a sweet and delicious appetizer and is enjoyed with wedges of Arabic bread. Accad's version of Muhammara, or Red Pepper and Walnut Dip, is a show-stopper, calling for roasted red peppers, garlic, walnut, cumin and pomeg4ranate molasses. It also is served with Arabic bread.
Throughout the book recipes are preceded by notes regarding the origin of the dish, variations on ingredients, how foods are used as home remedies and the diversity of ingredients as they pertain to Lebanon's geography and climates.
From traditional dishes to innovative new creations, Taste of Beirut is a wonderful celebration of people, culture and cuisine!

Double burner pan for induction?
magn1jesApril 19, 2014
Has anyone had any luck finding a double burner skillet (13x20 or so) that will work on induction? We have one that gets used on our electric range quite often but hopefully we will be upgrading to induction soon. Thanks.
There are plenty of double burner griddles that work very well on induction. But when you ask for a 13x20 skillet, I'm not sure what you're looking for. I've seen oval frypans, but no actual skillets anywhere near the size you requested. That's why I'm thinking you might be looking for a griddle. Can you be more specific? Maybe post a picture or link?

Total Living Network welcomes new co-host
The Total Living Network (TLN Comcast Digital Basic Cable Channel 138) welcomes Cisco Cotto as the new co-host of Marriage: For Better, For Worse.
Back from a production hiatus, this viewer call-in program will continue to feature Bob Moeller and his compassionate marriage advice, but with former co-host Eric AuCoin retiring, Cotto will join Moeller for this all-new season.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with TLN and Pastor Bob. His wisdom is so practical that I know I'm going to learn much about marriage by sitting across from him every week," Cotto said. "I look forward to being a small part of helping to build strong marriages."
With more than 10 years of radio experience including news reporting and anchoring at Chicago's WLS-AM and WIND-AM as well as hosting his own program, Cotto has a history of professionalism and bold faith. He completed a master of divinity degree from Moody Bible Institute and earned the nickname "The Reverend" during his time on the radio. TLN's President and CEO Jerry Rose has already shared his enthusiasm for the new co-host, saying: "Cisco Cotto is not only a well-known broadcast personality, he is a person with a genuine commitment to the family and strong marriages. He will be an asset to Marriage: For Better, For Worse."
Cotto is committed to God and his family in action as well as words. Putting family before promising political ambitions, he remains dedicated to his wife, Anna, and their two young children. Cotto's primary focus now is reaching people for Christ by working to build the new Village Church of Oak Park, Ill., and through his new role as co-host.
Moeller, co-host and co-founder of For Better, For Worse, For Keeps Ministries, extends his own welcome, saying: "I'm honored that someone of Cisco's impressive broadcasting background will be co-hosting the program. He is a person with deep moral conviction and keen spiritual insight. His personal commitment to preserving and strengthening marriages is real. I'm delighted to be working with him. He's going to be a real blessing to viewers."

Founder's Patron Saint-day of Holy Serbian Imperial Laura Monastery Chilandar24. February 2015 - 11:30
The founder's Patron Sаint-day of the Holy Imperial Laura Monastery Chilandar, the feast-day of Venerable Simeon the Myrrh-Gusher, was celebrated in Monastery of Chilandar on 19 February.
According to the calendar, this feast-day should be celebrated annually on 26 February, but this year, because it falls in the first week of Great Lent, the date of celebration was transferred to the February 19, according to the Chilandar Typicon of Saint Sava. Metropolitan Stephen of Gallipoli and Medita from the Ecumenical Patriarchate was present as a guest of honour. Guests of the monastery were also representatives of many Athonite monasteries, Consul of the Republic of Serbia to Thessaloniki Sinisa Pavic, pilgrims from Greece, Russia, Serbia, Montenegro etc.
Saint Simeon's Assembly held in Podgorica24. February 2015 - 10:51
Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral observed the traditional Saint Simeon's Assembly in the capital of Montenegro Podgorica, which is organized annually in honour and to the glory of the progenitor of the holy Nemanjics dynasty, Stephen Nemanja, later Saint Simeon the Mirrh-Gusher.
The Divine service at the Cathedral church of Resurrection of Christ was celebrated by Archbishop of Cetinje and Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral Amfilohije together with six Bishops of our Local Church – Atanasije of Bihac-Petrovac, Joanikije of Budimlje-Niksic, Joakim of Polog-Kumanovo, Marko of Bregalnica, Jovan of Nis and Jovan of Pakrac-Slavonia, and many priests and deacon in presence of hundreds of faithful.
Patron Saint-day of the chapel of Saint Simeon the Myrrh-Gusher23. February 2015 - 14:15
On the occasion of the Patron Saint-day of the church, on 22 February 2015, His Holiness Irinej, Serbian Patriarch, officiated the Holy Hierarchal Liturgy at the Patriarchal chapel of Saint Simeon the Myrrh-Gusher in Belgrade.
The Patriarch was concelebrated by protopresbyter-stavrophors Stojadin Pavlovic, Professor Dr. Dragan Protic and Miroslav Milenkovic; presbyters Panagiotis Karatasios, Jovan Petrovic, Vukasin Milicevic, Miroslav Colakovic, Mihajlo Rapajic and Borjan Antic, as well as deacons Vladimir Rumenic, Savo Topalovic and Aleksandar Sekulic. The First Belgrade Singing Society sang responses.
Venerable Simeon the Myrrhgusher and Prince of Serbia - Stephen Nemanya22. February 2015 - 13:27
Saint Simeon the Myrrh-Gusher, King of Serbia Stephen Nemanya was the Great Zhupan of Serbia, and lived during the twelfth century. The saint toiled much for his fatherland: he united a large portion of the Serbian lands, and strove for the political independence of his country from the Byzantine Empire. In his zeal for the Orthodox Church, he defended his nation against heresy and false teaching.
At the age of eighty, Stephen went to Mt. Athos, where his son St Sava (January 12), was glorified by the holiness of his life. Together they restored the desolate Hilandar monastery, to which monks from various lands began to gather.
St Simeon was a great ascetic and wise guide for the monks. He died on February 13, 1200, and his relics began to exude myrrh. St Sava transported his father's relics back to Serbia, and placed them in a church of the Most Holy Theotokos at the River Studenitsa. St Simeon had richly adorned this church while he was still ruler of Serbia.
THE GREAT LENT - A Week by Week Meaning22. February 2015 - 10:27
There are institutes and symbols adopted by nations, churches or groups of men which represent certain ideals accumulated in the past. These institutes, that is precepts recognized as authoritative, and symbols represent the thoughts and feelings of those who created or adopted them and put in them all the experience of the past, often through struggle and sacrifice. A few feet of ribbon for instance, red, blue and white in color, have little value as is. But if one puts them in a certain pattern of stripes and stars, they become the flag of the United States and represent the ideals and unity of the people of America. The flag reminds us of the people's struggle for liberty. It represents the national unity which attained for them their rights as a people. The same could be said for the institutes of a nation, army or any group of people. These institutes are created by the people and are used by them in certain ways for certain aims. Some of these institutes are the means for achieving certain values and ideals. In the life of the Church of Christ there are many institutes created and maintained to meet the needs of the people - the Ecclesia. Among these is the Great Lent which falls within the year-cycle of the life of the Church before Pascha-Easter. Lent is the period of time for self-examination by the believer; of putting on the spiritual armor of the Militant Church; of applying the riches of prayers and almsgiving; of adopting deeply the meaning of repentance; of atonement and reconciliation with God Almighty.
The Meeting of the Lord and the Statehood Day of the Republic of Serbia20. February 2015 - 10:55
The feast day of the Meeting of the Lord and the Statehood Day of the Republic of Serbia also this 2015 was solemnly celebrated in the historical place of Orasac, from where more than two centuries ago the uprising of the Serbian people and the creation of the Serbian statehood began.
The celebration of this great feast day of the Church of Christ started with the Holy Hierarchal Liturgy celebrated by His Grace Bishop Jovan of Sumadia, with the concelebration of the local clergy.

AGC reports that higher prices are squeezing margins for many construction firms.
According to the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), prices for construction materials jumped in February, driven by extreme increases in items used in new housing and nonresidential building renovations. In a release, the AGC notes that the increased materials prices are hitting contractors still struggling to recover from a years-long downturn in construction demand.
"For the second month in a row, contractors endured outsized price hikes for gypsum wallboard, lumber and insulation materials," says Ken Simonson, chief economist for the AGC. "In addition, soaring diesel prices mean contractors are paying more for fuel they buy and, via fuel surcharges, for the thousands of deliveries of materials and equipment required for construction projects."
The producer price index for all construction inputs increased by 1.3 percent between January and February, equaling the entire increase for 2012, Simonson notes. The index was 2 percent higher than in February 2012, outpacing the increase in the price contractors are able to charge for most types of new buildings. The index for new office construction rose only 1 percent in the past year; new school buildings 1.2 percent; new industrial construction, 1.3 percent; and new warehouses, 2.6 percent.
The producer price index for gypsum products such as wallboard and plaster climbed 4.4 percent in February, following an 11.8 percent leap in January, for a cumulative rise of 17.8 percent over the past 12 months, Simonson notes. Lumber and plywood prices rose 2.3 percent in February and 15.8 percent from a year ago. Insulation prices increased 2.1 percent and 5.9 percent, while the price index for diesel fuel shot up 7.2 percent for the month and 3.8 percent year-over-year.

Stormers v Crusaders - Live
Stormers 14 Crusaders 19
80 There are some heart-stopping moments here as the Stormers go in search of a try but the Crusaders defend manfully as Bekker, De Villiers, Damian de Allende and Brok Harris are all stopped short of the line! The ball goes out to Pietersen, who is bundled into touch, close to the corner flag, by three defenders! That's the ball game as referee Craig Joubert blows his whistle to bring proceedings to a close. What a frenetic end to this match, but in the end, it's the Crusaders' defence that pulled them through!
78 The Crusaders try to clear their line from a scrum inside their 22. The ball comes out to Tom Marshall but his kick slices off his boot and they gain very little ground.

40 Dewald Duvenhage hoists a box kick which Tom Marshall gathers inside his 22. He puts the ball into touch and the hooter goes to signal half-time.

Watch video: The 700 Club Features LUXVERA
The 700 Club Features LUXVERA
| February 3, 2014
LUXVERA, Regent's new free online course platform, continues to generate interest among news organizations, with CBN News noting the inaugural class, "Who is Jesus?" in a story about affordability in higher education on the Monday, Feb. 3, edition of The 700 Club.
Regent CEO and Chancellor Dr. M.G. "Pat" Robertson, who co-hosts The 700 Club, shared more information about LUXVERA during the program. He talked about LUXVERA's mission to teach people around the world, and also discussed how massive open online courses (MOOCs) such as those offered by LUXVERA could be the answer to helping resolve the problem of making a college education more affordable.
"LUXVERA is a very, very exciting, good-looking program, and I think the idea is going to sweep the country," Robertson said.
The story, which focused on initiatives to make higher education more affordable, also included comments from Regent's Executive Vice President, Dr. Paul Bonicelli, about the growing interest in online education.
"What people are coming to now is, 'Where is the established brick and mortar campus, that has a reputation, that has the accreditations, that is also delivering education online?'" Bonicelli told CBN News. "Then those students are more attracted to it because they realize the quality's already there, the rankings are there," he said. "And I can get this education now even though I can't leave my home, which is 2,000 miles away."
LUXVERA classes began on Jan. 22, with the first course titled, "Who Is Jesus?" Developed by Dr. Corné J. Bekker, chair of the department of Biblical Studies and Christian Ministry at Regent, the inaugural free online class explores the life and ministry of Jesus.
Also on Jan. 22, LUXVERA began a series of "GREAT Talks" featuring notable legal, political and religious experts to address issues in politics, law, leadership and faith.
New content added on Feb. 4 includes three additional "Great Talks" and the second course about Jesus, "What Did Jesus Teach?"
More classes and talks will be added during the coming weeks and months.

Chinese 'Warren Buffett' sentenced to 6 years in prison
Justice Alfred O'Marra of the Ontario Superior Court also ordered Weizhen Tang to pay a fine of $2.8 million within five years of his release from prison.

Weizhen Tang, who billed himself as "The Chinese Warren Buffett," was sentenced to six years in jail on Friday for defrauding investors.
Justice Alfred O'Marra of the Ontario Superior Court also ordered Tang to pay a fine of $2.8 million within five years of his release from prison.
If the fine is not paid, Tang would return to prison for five years, the judge said.
Tang did not appear to react when the sentenced was handed down. Following the proceedings, he was handcuffed and taken into custody.
His wife, Hong Xiao, who earlier testified as a character witness for her husband, told reporters outside the courtroom that there were "so many mistakes" in the evidence presented in court.
Tang addressed the court shortly before his sentence. "I'm crying out against injustice," he said in halting English. "I'm asking you, Justice O'Marra, to be the guardian of justice in my case."
The judge noted that there was "overwhelming evidence" during the trial that Tang committed fraud, including his representations to investors, falsified account statements, and co-mingling of investor funds.
Tang's investors were left shocked and heart-broken after the fraud came to light, Justice O'Marra said. Some told the court in their victim impact statements of feeling suicidal.
O'Marra said the breach of trust in Tang's case made it more "egregious" than the fraud perpetrated by disgraced theatre mogul Garth Drabinsky, former head of Livent Inc., who was sentenced to five years in jail.
Tang was found guilty by a jury last October of one count of fraud over $5,000.
The court heard during the trial that Tang collected about $52 million from more than 200 investors through his company, the Overseas Chinese Fund Limited Partnership.
About $19 million was lost in the markets and $2.8 million was funneled into personal accounts belonging to Tang, his businesses and his family. The rest was returned to investors.
Tang promised investors a weekly return of 1 per cent per week. He said that 99 per cent of their money would be safe and in secure investments, with only a fraction invested in stock markets.
He defended himself during the trial, though Peter Boushy, a Hamilton defence lawyer was appointed as an Amicus or "friend of the court" to provide advice on legal and procedural matters. Tang was often accompanied by an interpreter.
Boushy had asked Justice O'Marra to order Tang to undergo a psychological assessment prior to sentencing. The judge declined.
Prosecutors asked the judge to sentence Tang to eight to 10 years in jail, impose a fine of $2.8 million, and a restitution order.
Tang has repeatedly said that he is the victim of a conspiracy by the Canadian justice system, police, and the Ontario Securities Commission.
He has told the court that he plans to appeal his conviction.

I loved my apartment at 3130 NLSD. It had an excellent location in Lincoln Park. It had a phenomanal view of Read MoreLake Michigan and the harbor, was walking distance to great shops. Parking was never an issue in the garage, and having both a convienance store, dry cleaner and hair salon was great as well. My personal favorite was that my packages always had a safe place to be delivered too in the building. As far as maintainace goes, I have no complaints. Every time I needed them they were available.

How Socially Savvy Perfume Gets Made
We first saw the side braid trend start at Alexander Wang's fashion show in September 2009. Kate was the first starlet we saw wear it oh-so perfectly.
Angie often opts for simple styles on the red carpet. But we love when she does a little something extra like with this half-up 'do — complete with the perfect earrings.
