Joyce, mom can't make out the details of the fine work or the vintaj on this – but loves the colors!
Another malachite fav~
Gorgeous combo, Joyce! I love the deep greens and berry colors together with the brass! BTW, is that a photo of you next to your name?
thank you very much chickies!!!!
chicky LE, thanks for that question about my pic, no that's not me… don't you wish we could all see our photos more clearly… that's a photo of my fav Hong Kong actress from the 1960′s, Ivy Ling Po, when she starred in a film about Hua Mu Lan the woman warrior who went to war in her dad's place disguised as a man cuz her dad was too old to fight…
Oh, yes, I've heard the story — very exciting! You're right about the pix — even bringing them up on an individual's page of picks doesn't help a lot sometimes. Sigh…
pretty pick Smart Chick! nice combo with the greens/pinks and the touch of brass
Beautiful! I love the contrast of the deep tones.
BEAUTIFUL pick!!!! And I know the story too!!!
Post your personal pic on the chickie blog!
okay I"m posting the pic and another from the movie so ya can all see
OK, now I feel really silly for thinking that was you, Joyce. Unless, just maybe, you are also a famous actress?!?!?! Did you notice her earrings in the close-up pix? Wonder who made them? LOL I always look at jewelry in a different way now that I make it!
Forget my ignorance on this one, but is the same story from Disney called Mulan? I'm sure that the Disney version is soooo acurate…just look at Pocahontas!
Yes, I believe Disney remade it into their version.
yep that's right, Disney did make their own version. although the art was good the story was so-so, it focused more on her actions as a young girl who wanted adventure. in the original chinese story the emphasis is on her being a dutiful daughter who supports her family thru her going to war in her father's place. Yep I too like her earrings, she really did a wonderful job of portraying the character … wish you chickies all lived close so I could share the movie with you all …
That would be wonderful, wouldn't it? Yeah, Disney can really make things syrupy sweet, can't they?
mmmhhh hmmm yep they can! my fav Disney movie is the one about Beauty and the Beast cuz the heroine Belle was actually a way smart chick in this movie, and it had those magical servants as "teapots" …
Joyce, Plucky, Mystic, Chicky LE, CAS – thank you all so much for making my mom feel welcome and part of the nest earlier today – she had a stressful day – and I know your kind words helped her to relax – and even to smile! Thank you soooo much! Friday is a different tx to her eye and frankly, one I don't even want to discuss – too squeemish – but I may have her stop in and visit again…
Again – thank you all, so very much!
Hi Smoky Rose! I'm thinking of you!
And beautiful pick, Smart Chick!!!
Hi Karen! How are you? How is your friend feeling?
My mom had surgery on her eye today and on friday starts a series of rough treatments…. we went out for a bite this afternoon – with her vision so poor, she hasn't been out much lately – brought my laptop with and introduced her to the girls! She couldn't make out any details, but could see all the colors on the picks and thought it was really great the way we all chat and support one another – she was very impressed. Well, it's an impressive group!
Mare, did she decide on her "Hen" name?
Are you Chicking my Mom?! She'll be delighted! Geez – dunno, thoughts?
I know, I know – I'll have to google for spelling…. give me one sec
Pani Chick? !
Pani is 'lady' in Polish
HELLO SMOKY ROSE!!!! How's everything going? MOM?
good, good, thanks Anita – she's tough! I can't even stand drops in my eyes. She's feeling fine tonight, thank you – and lets all hope that I can report the same to you girls on Friday night. Just a few weeks back, I noticed that she just wasn't herself – after pulling it out of her, she told me that her vision was getting distorted. Rapid Occurring Macular Degeneration w/Hemorag……. bad, fast! – but we're moving in the right direction – some vision should be restored!!! Tense day. Tense couple of weeks.
Mare, check out Mystic Chick's "Postcard – Botswanna, Africa". We were discussing making your Mom an honorary "Hen", and came up with some names. Check it out and let me know.
Give her all our love!!!! I'll be praying!!
They sure are doing amazing stuff now!!!!
Well Chicky's, I'm calling it a night!! Love ya & HUGS!!!! Talk tomorrow after work!!!!
Nighty nite Anita, sweet bead dreams!
Night, Anita! Thanks!
Good Night Anita!
Smoky Rose – I'm so sorry about your Mom's eye troubles. My mother has the beginning stages of macular degeneration, but it is not that far advanced, so they are trying to halt or slow it with vitamins, etc. Her sister has much more aggressive degeneration. I hope they doctors can really help your Mom. That must be so scary for you and her! You will both be in my prayers. My friend is doing very well recovering from surgery. she sent me flowers today! Very nice surprise.
I learned there are two kinds. My uncle has the slow, my mom the rapid. Were they able to bring back any of your aunt's lost vision? tell the truth – I need to know what I'm in for…. been trying to get her out of that house since we lost my dad and into a rancher…. this may force that – which will be a weird blessing in disguise. She was knocked over two weeks ago with the diagnosis, but is bouncing back emotionally. SO glad that your friend is doing better! Good Job!
How's mommykat? have we heard from her, since yesterday and her daughter's procedure?
Once Smoky Hen Leona's vision is better, I can see her asking me for a laptop – and then hanging all afternoon at Starbucks doing picks!!!
maybe one of those cool colored notebooks
HeHe, that's funny Smoky Rose!! I haven't seen mommykat on here tonight. I hope everything went ok for her daughter.
They were able to help my aunt. She is back to driving again. I'll see if I can find out exactly what they have done to treat her condition. I don't know that I want to ride with her!!! haha, but she is driving anyway!
Awesome! Driving is huge – take it for granted, but it's huge!
Ladies – long, tense day, gonna crash. Again – thank you all for your good wishes and being so welcoming to Smoky Hen Leona. I think having part 1 behind her, lunch with her little girl, were very nice – and then meeting Chicked and getting Hen'd, kinda the icing on the cake. Thank you! and Good Night!
hey smoky,
sending your mom Smoky hen Leona best wishes and prayers for her macular degeneration, not easy for her or you to help her thru…
fancy chick, so sorry to hear your mom and aunt are also experiencing similar eye troubles, sending them and you best wishes and prayers too!!!!

The disgraced former Editor of the News of The World, Rebekah Brooks, and the head of News International Rupert Murdoch were amongst those burnt in effigy at the annual Lewes Guy Fawkes Night bonfire on Saturday night.
The small town in East Sussex, England, is famous for the event, which up to 80,000 people attend. It has been described as a "collision of Halloween and Mardi Gras." Each of the five main local societies contributing creates a topical "tableau," and the Cliffe and Southover societies display on pikes the heads (also in effigy) of its current "Enemies of Bonfire," who range from nationally reviled figures to local officials who have attempted to place restrictions on the event.
See the storify and watch a video of the event:

The Minnesota Security Hospital in St. Peter has had its conditional license extended for a year after two new cases of patient mistreatment were documented. The mental hospital was also fined $2,000. Authorities also found record-keeping violations related to the use of restraints and seclusion. Minnesota Human Services Commissioner Lucinda Jesson said in a statement Wednesday that the agency is "deeply concerned" about the incidents that prompted the conditional licensing extension. But she says the department is encouraged that the Licensing Division has acknowledged that "significant improvements" have taken place at the hospital over the past year. The hospital is Minnesota's largest psychiatric facility, with about 400 patients. It was placed on a 2-year conditional license in December of 2011 after previous maltreatment findings.

Album: White Noise Sound, White Noise Sound (Alive Natural Sound)
Friday 14 January 2011
Like White Lies, Swansea sextet White Noise Sound are heavily beholden to the sound of Eighties indie, in their case the ponderous, looming space-rock of Spacemen 3 and razoring, distorted guitar of The Jesus and Mary Chain.
It all comes together with maximum impact on the opening "Sunset", whose electro-punk pulse could be from Suicide's debut album, and "No Place to Hide", in which dense layers of synths and miasmic guitar drones ride a determined groove to a pleasing Neu!-style conclusion. It's a beautifully sequenced set, with the slow swells of tremulous guitars and strings in the penultimate "Don't Wait for Me" segueing smoothly into the Popol Vuh-ish sitar and guitar tonalities of the concluding "(In Both) Dreams and Ecstasies".

So glad your back. I love this story and can't wait for the next instalment! Pretty please don't leave us waiting too long
| Mrs. Dom Masbolle chapter 21 . 9/14/2014
I know you've explained your rationale for why there isn't much romance, but I do have to admit I wait for Xamos/Kel fluff every chapter on the edge of my seat. I think their small subplot is wonderful, how it mimics the saving of the last Helmed Warrior. I just want Kel to be with Xamos as he loves and values her (which you as an author have created the character so well because I usually hate anyone but Dom with Kel :P)
Great story! I've just read all 21 chapters in one day :)
Please update soon!
| firze chapter 21 . 9/11/2014
I loved what you have done so far! The progression of Kel learning to be both woman and warrior has been flawless. Did you ever find a beta? If not, I would be willing to fulfill the role. I'm on fairly often and I know the PoTS series like the back of my hand. I love your work and I can't wait to see how Kel's adventure in Gaul continues!
| elolson329 chapter 21 . 9/10/2014
I liked the story. Please write more.
| Lollypops101 chapter 21 . 9/3/2014
I almost squealed when I saw that this had been updated. It is a good thing I didn't; my roommate would have thought I was crazy. :) Great work! i can't wait for the next chapter.

FAIRFIELD, Conn. - Fairfield saluted American service personnel at the town's annual Veterans' Day ceremony at Town Hall Green Saturday morning.
Dan Caruso, Fairfield's probate judge honored veterans by making reference to Nov. 11, the official holiday. "World War I ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month," he said. "It was the first time we sent troops overseas to defend our freedom. We continue to honor those who sacrifice and serve us far away."
Ron Orszag, a Fairfield veteran who served in the U.S. Navy in Vietnam, said, "Nobody appreciated us in the '60s and '70s but since Iraq and Afghanistan things have changed. The holiday is also dedicated to those serving now."
Robert Korchman, of Fairfield, who was a U.S. Marine paratrooper in Korea from 1952-55 said he dedicated three years of his life to the war effort and is grateful for the town's recognition.
"I'm glad to see everyone come out now," he said. "They approve of what we did. All towns should do it."
After the ceremony, there was a reception inside the Old Academy, hosted by the Eunice Dennie Burr Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Five Things That Must Happen for the Washington Redskins to Reach the Playoffs
Offensive Captain Robert Griffin III says Redskins can make the playoffs
The Washington Redskins are currently in last place in the NFC East with a 3-6 record. Although the addition of quarterback Robert Griffin III has brought excitement to the nation's capital, it hasn't improved the team to the point where they are a playoff contender.
However, the Redskins are not mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. Five of their last seven games in the 2012 NFL season are against their NFC East rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and Philadelphia Eagles. Washington proved to be a tough opponent for the Giants during their Week Seven loss. In addition, the Cowboys and Eagles have both been inconsistent in 2012. This bodes well for Washington to make a playoff run.
The Redskins can also draw on recent history for inspiration. In 2007, Washington won their final four games to finish 9-7 and earn a playoff berth. Unfortunately, that inspiration was fueled by the murder of their All-Pro safety Sean Taylor during the season. It goes without saying that current Washington Redskins' players, as well as fans, hope a similar scenario doesn't occur in 2012.
Griffin III also feels that Washington can still reach the playoffs. Even as a rookie, he is the most talented player on the Redskins. He was voted a team captain after Washington's bye week during Week Ten. Griffin III's confidence speaks volumes, and Washington Redskins' fans hope that their rookie quarterback's confidence will inspire them on a similar drive to the playoffs like in 2007 (minus the tragic circumstances).
Realistically, Washington will have to win at least six of their last seven games to qualify for postseason play. Then again, in the parity filled 2012 NFL season, anything is possible. With that said, here are five things that must happen for the Washington Redskins to reach the playoffs:
Robert Griffin III must limit his turnovers.
Make no mistake, as Griffin III goes so does the Washington Redskins. The man nicknamed "RG3" has been a phenomenal addition to the Redskins' offense. What gets unnoticed is that he has thrown only three interceptions and lost two fumbles. That's pretty remarkable, considering Griffin III's exciting playing style that leaves him prone to injury, as well as compromising ball security at times.
Griffin III must continue to take care of the ball in an effort for the offense to be successful. If he can remain mindful of ball security, Washington will have a chance to win some games, which could possibly propel them into the playoffs.
Alfred Morris must continue to effectively anchor the running game.
Washington running back Alfred Morris remains a force in the Redskins' backfield. He is a tough, physical runner that can earn tough yards. He can also deliver a punishing blow to tacklers. He currently leads Washington in rushing yards with 793, which takes the pressure off Griffin III to be the main offensive focus on the Redskins.
Morris' contributions will become even more critical as the season progresses. Six of Washington's last seven games will be potentially played in cold weather, which could hamper the passing game a bit. Teams need to be able to run efficiently in such conditions. Teams also need to be able to run efficiently late in games when trying to protect a lead in an effort to run the clock out and secure victory. Morris' continued efficiency in the running game is critical to a Redskins' playoff run.
Pierre Garcon and Chris Cooley must become efficient in the passing game.
Wide receiver Pierre Garcon and tight end Chris Cooley are vital elements of Washington's passing game. Unfortunately, both have been non factors due to separate circumstances. Garcon is still recovering from a torn ligament in the second toe of his right foot. He may be available for Washington's Week Eleven game with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Cooley was resigned by the Redskins after starting tight end Fred Davis suffered a season ending Achilles injury. However, Cooley has not seen much playing time because of the emergence of tight end Logan Paulsen. Throughout his career, Cooley has been an effective red zone receiver. Meanwhile, Garcon can't be expected to be the deep threat he once was because of his injiury. If Garcon and Cooley can somehow return to the offense and provide two more efficient targets for Griffin III, they could prove vital for the Redskins to earn a playoff berth.
The defense must become opportunistic again.
The Washington Redskins' defense has been the source of much criticism in 2012, ranking 27th in total defense. What gets overlooked is Washington's plus seven turnover differential, and that the defense has scored four touchdowns directly off of opponents' turnovers. Linebacker Ryan Kerrigan leads the team with 4.5 sacks, as well as an interception return for a touchdown.
The Redskins' defense will need to force a few more turnovers to take the pressure off Griffin III and the offense. Forcing turnovers either gives the offense a short field to work with or it will thwart an opponent's scoring drive. If Washington can capitalize by scoring points off forced turnovers, they have a chance to go on a winning streak that leads to a playoff berth.
The Redskins' placekicking must remain effective.
The modern day NFL has embraced league parity. The fact that the Redskins still have a chance at a playoff berth as of this writing solidifies that belief. Seven of Washington's first nine games have been decided by eight points or less, which indicates the need for a reliable placekicker to take advantage of presented scoring opportunities.
After much consternation regarding the placekicking position, the Redskins seem to have settled on the unheralded Kai Forbath as their kicker. So far, Forbath has been effective, connecting on all eight of his field goal attempts, including one from 50 yards. Considering that Washington may become involved in many close games, if Forbath can continue his solid kicking, it would help Washington in their quest for post season play.

Sony MDR-V55 and ZX600 look cool, sound cool
Sony has announced two new updates to its headphones range with the MDR-V55 and the MDR-XZ600 and we've had the chance for a quick listen to both.
The MDR-V55 have spun out of Sony's DJ range of headphone and is a folding design with large, comfortable ear pads.
We particularly like the design. The Sony branding across the top of the headband is brash and confident, the flat 1.2m cables will reduce the chance of you getting in a tangle.
They're also confortable and offer a great clear sound from the 1000mW 40mm neodymium drivers. We put them through a couple of test tracks and really enjoyed the quality of the sound, although, obviously this wasn't an extensive test.
The quality of the noise isolation was also noticeable - a testament to the pads that fitted us well.
The second set are the MDR-ZX600. These also feature 1000mW 40mm neodymium drivers but are more compact than the larger V55.
They sound good, with plenty of bass delivery, but lack the clarity and accuracy of the V55 from our preliminary tests. Again, we found the level of noise isolation to be good.
However, the ZX600 are lighter and possibly a more natural choice for those on their travels. We like the neat design, with brushed metal encircled by, and picking up the colour of, the flat 1.2m wire.
Both the Sony MDR-V55 and MDR-ZX600 headphones will be available from April 2012.

Aug 12, 2011It's softer feel also illustrates the dynamic range Cohen has as a songwriter on his first solo outing, one that isn't especially revelatory or inventive, but does offer a solid starting point for the second chapter of his career.
Aug 12, 2011Milk Maid's songs are a little overfamiliar in their approach, relying too much on the crude clash of sunny melodies against serrated sound. But part of the reason why so many bands return to this style is that it's easy to reproduce and has a basic appeal--so catchy, so rough.
Aug 1, 2011While there's nothing particularly wrong with looking to the past for influences, Yucca struggles at times beneath the weight of those it seeks to emulate.
Aug 9, 2011Yucca is pure pop primitivism that's all distorted vocals and fuzzy guitar swirls, just like The Jesus And Mary Chain never happened. [Aug 2011, p.126]
Aug 1, 2011Having played with Wild Nothing, Titus Andronicus, Crocodiles and Male Bonding they are finely adept in the art of live performance and worth catching. But the album? Yeah it's alright: simple and catchy fuzz pop.
Aug 1, 2011Regardless of how they describe it, it's all code for "this sounds absolutely awful." There's really no excuse for something that sounds this bad in 2011 except as an aesthetic choice.

Alaska's Heat Wave Ignites Fires as Glaciers Rapidly Melt
melt so quickly that a one-foot thick layer of water could completely cover the entire state of Alaska every seven years, according to a new study.Climate change has caused Alaska's glaciers to
Alaskan glaciers have lost 75 billion metric tons of ice every year from 1994 through 2013, The Washington Post′s Chris Mooney reported from the study, which was recently accepted for publication in the peer-reviewed Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union. Mooney also reported that the Columbia Glacier (see GIF above) alone has been sending 4 billion metric tons of water into the oceans every year.
Alaska's melting glaciers are "punching far above their weight" when it comes to contributing to sea level rise, CBS News's Michael Casey pointed out, referring to how Alaska only holds one percent of the Earth's glacial ice volume, with most of the Earth's ice found in Antarctica and Greenland's ice sheets.
But as the authors of the new study explained, "Despite Greenland's ice covered area being 20 times greater than that of Alaska, losses in Alaska were fully one third of the total loss from the ice sheet during 2005-2010."
US Senate "Outlawing" of Torture Rings Hollow While Legal Assassinations Continue
On Tuesday, the Senate voted to ban the use of torture by the United States military and intelligence agencies. Many of us were befuddled by this development. After all, wasn't the argument for holding Bush administration officials accountable for authorizing torture based on the premise it was illegal at the time?
The answer is yes: It was illegal, but apparently a majority of senators believed that there were loopholes that the Bush White House employed to justify the use of torture. The new bill attempts to eliminate any ambiguity by only allowing interrogation techniques detailed in the Army Field Manual.
An article in Slate by staff writer Joshua Keating, however, points out that even the recently passed bill has, well, loopholes:
The legislation won't end the debate over interrogation. For one thing, critics, including a U.N. panel that U.S. officials testified before last December, have suggested that the field manual itself may not be up to the standards of international law....
There is also increasing alarm over "proxy detention," the practice of handing detainees over to the custody of third party countries with more permissive detainee treatment laws. Detainees have been subjected to brutal treatment in Afghanistan,Iraq, and Somalia while those countries' governments were cooperating with the Obama administration's counterterrorism efforts. CIA Director John Brennan affirmed in March that "There are places throughout the world where CIA has worked with other intelligence services and has been able to bring people into custody and engage in the debriefings of these individuals," raising concerns that the agency has not so much stopped using "enhanced interrogation" as it has outsourced it.
Yes, extraditing "detainees" to other nations who employ torture, who then share their interrogations with the CIA, means that torture still remains effectively legal.
EPA's Asbestos Guidelines Pose Serious Threat to Public Health, Says Agency's Own Inspector General
Article reprinted with permission from EcoWatch.
Once upon a time, asbestos, with its superior heat- and fire-resistant properties, was routinely used in building construction. But that was before awareness grew over the last 100 years about its connection to lung disease and several types of cancer, which can be triggered by only brief exposure to the material. Asbestos-laden materials fell from favor, as litigation ballooned into the costliest mass litigation in US history and companies manufacturing asbestos productions went bankrupt in the wake of the lawsuits.
Asbestos has now been banned in many countries, but not in the US. Although its use is less common now, asbestos still presents a danger, especially when the demolition of older buildings releases asbestos fibers into the air. According to the Environmental Working Group's Action Fund, asbestos still kills 12,000-15,000 people annually in the US.
Now the Office of the Inspector General of US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a report on Tuesday headlined "EPA Should Update Guidance to Address the Release of Potentially Harmful Quantities of Asbestos That Can Occur Under EPA's Asbestos Demolition Standard." It says bluntly that the agency's guidelines for demolishing crumbling old buildings are woefully out of date and need to be revamped to protect public health and safety.
Pope's Message: "Hear the Cry of the Earth" to Protect Her
We have grown up thinking that we were Earth's owners and dominators, authorized to loot her. The violence that exists in the human heart, wounded by sin, is also manifest in the symptoms of illness that we see in the Earth, the water, the air and in living things.
- Pope Francis, Encyclical on the Preservation of Nature
This essay is written in memory of Rachel Carson, biologist, nature-lover, essayist, and a woman who had the moral fortitude to stand up, by herself, against the ruthless oil and chemical industries that resulted in the elimination of DDT pesticide from our environment.
If Rachel Carson were alive today she would be applauding Pope Francis' Encyclical on how world governments must make the preservation of nature, (for there is no life without our forests, rivers, oceans and healthy soil), our moral and economic priorities instead of pushing through secret trade deals, without the people's consent, that allow the major polluters to keep drilling, poisoning, and raping our only Home, Planet Earth, until there is nothing left to loot.
The industrial age should have been history by now. But thanks to a handful of greedy politicians, shifting to clean, harmless energy has been postponed for as long as they can postpone it—perhaps to the point of extinction of all life. That's not hyperbole. According to Elizabeth Kolbert, the 2015 Pulitzer Prize author-scientist of The Sixth Extinction, life on this planet will perish if we don't change course to sustainable energy as quickly as possible, given that time is running out. This major shift from the industrial paradigm to the renewable paradigm is long overdue.
Industrial Agriculture Is a Threat to World Food Supply
Bigger is not always better. As Wall Street banks and big box stores such as Walmart have shown, bigger is often worse. The list of industries that have consolidated into national and global cartels is long and growing, and so is their collateral damage.
In general, this trend - accelerated by trade agreements such as the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership - means an increase in the exploitation of labor. It also means an expansion of unregulated practices that lead to global warming, and an elimination of small businesses. (For example, think about the elimination of local pharmacies, office supply stores, banks and bakeries.)
In the case of the financial industry, the consolidation of the money supply in the hands of a few institutions has reverberating global impacts. These institutions engage in predatory lending policies toward individuals and underdeveloped nations. They thrive in these efforts through minimal regulation (in the US and most other G-20 nations), and are abetted by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
This pattern is repeated in other industries, such as agriculture. A column this spring in Dollars & Sense details how Big Agriculture - which includes ancillary industries, such as pesticides and seeds - sells itself as a route to creating more and safer food for a growing population.
France Bans Monsanto's Roundup as Environmental Groups Push WHO for Stronger Safety Standards
genetically modified crops (GMOs) themselves are harmful, the fact that they were created to be resistant to increasing amounts of pesticides such as glyphosate is a problem.What's a GMO-promoting multinational chemical company to do? Word is getting out that, while the science isn't clear whether
Monsanto, which manufactures the glyphosate weedkiller Roundup, reacted furiously to a report released earlier this year by the World Health Organization (WHO) that glyphosate likely causes cancer. The company demanded that WHO retract the report, repudiating the years of research by multiple scientists. With Roundup the most widely used and top-selling herbicide, Monsanto clearly has a bottom line to protect.
That bottom line has just taken another hit. In Europe, where people are far more suspicious of the extravagant claims and potential dangers of GMOs than in the U.S. and heavily regulates them, the French government has announced this week that it is restricting the sale of glyphosate weedkillers in garden centers.
"France must be on the offensive with regards to the banning of pesticides," said ecology minister Ségolène Royal. "I have asked garden centers to stop putting Monsanto's Roundup on sale."
For Televangelist Creflo Dollar, Prosperity Starts at Home
You've probably never heard of Pastor Creflo Dollar. He is a charismatic and controversial preacher/televangelist who founded the College Park, Georgia-based 30,000-member World Changers Church International. And, despite being investigated for financial irregularities, and later for child abuse, and a proclivity for filling his personal coffers till his cup runneth over, he doesn't embarrass easily. Although thrust into the unpleasant glare of the media spotlight after putting out a fundraising video asking his supporters to finance a $60-65 million dollar Gulfstream G650 private jet – the "Holy Grail of luxury private jets, according to Bloomberg news -- it looks like, after all the hullabaloo has died down, Dollar will get his jet, courtesy of WCCI's board of directors.
Christianity Today's Bob Smietans recently reported that the video -- viewed over 325,000 times -- "claimed that Dollar's family had been endangered by mechanical problems with the ministry's former plane, and asked 200,000 supporters of World Changer's Church International to give $300 each for a replacement. Church officials removed the video earlier this year."
Smietans pointed out that "A new video is in the works and a donation request remains live on Dollar's website, along with the apology."
Some Regions in World Are in Danger of Running Out of Drinkable Water
Supplies of potable water are being threatened in numerous areas around the world, according to new data released by NASA. Yes, global warming is a culprit, but so are agricultural use and pollution-heavy industries.
In the not-too-distant future, we may see a widespread rationing of drinkable water. Water may then become simply unavailable in some regions. As The Washington Post reported on June 16, "new NASA data show how the world is running out of water":
The world's largest underground aquifers – a source of fresh water for hundreds of millions of people — are being depleted at alarming rates, according to new NASA satellite data that provides the most detailed picture yet of vital water reserves hidden under the Earth's surface.
Twenty-one of the world's 37 largest aquifers — in locations from India and China to the United States and France — have passed their sustainability tipping points, meaning more water was removed than replaced during the decade-long study period, researchers announced Tuesday. Thirteen aquifers declined at rates that put them into the most troubled category. The researchers said this indicated a long-term problem that's likely to worsen as reliance on aquifers grows.
Scientists had long suspected that humans were taxing the world's underground water supply, but the NASA data was the first detailed assessment to demonstrate that major aquifers were indeed struggling to keep pace with demands from agriculture, growing populations, and industries such as mining.
If you are wondering how important aquifers are to maintaining a fresh water supply, just look to California.
Pope Francis Blasts Climate Deniers in Leaked Draft of Encyclical
climate change, which is due to be released on Thursday following a noon press conference. Now a leaked draft of the document, published Monday in Italian Magazine L'Espresso, has given Vatican watchers and environmentalists something to sink their teeth into, although the Vatican cautioned that this was not the final version, which could be similar or substantially different, and had asked that details of the draft not be published.Excitement and speculation have been building for months around Pope Francis' encyclical on
The contents of the leaked document, said to be called "Laudato Si (Be Praised), On the Care of Our Common Home," won't surprise anyone who has been following the stream of statements the Pope has been making on the environment. But by putting it in the form of an encyclical, the Pope gives official weight to the opinions he's been expressing in many contexts.
The document addresses the role of fossil fuels on climate change and its outsized impact on poor nations, chastising wealthy countries for their disposable lifestyle. He calls for reducing carbon emissions by developing policies that hasten the switch to clean, renewable sources of energy to stave off the "unprecedented destruction of the ecosystem."
"Humanity is called to take note of the need for changes in lifestyle and changes in methods of production and consumption to combat this warming, or at least the human causes that produce and accentuate it," he wrote, according to a report by The Guardian. "Numerous scientific studies indicate that the greater part of the global warming in recent decades is due to the great concentration of greenhouse gases … given off above all because of human activity."
The Pope does not enumerate or analyze the scientific basis of the climate crisis in detail but rather reflects on the moral aspects of humanity's care for the Earth.
Huckabee: "Palling Around" With Child Molesters?
Republican 2016 presidential candidate Mike Huckabee appears to be, to borrow a phrase from Sarah Palin, "palling around with" child molesters. First it was his vigorous defense of Josh Duggar, and now reports have surfaced that the co-author of two of his books, was excommunicated from his church for being a child molester.
After information that Josh Duggar -- the oldest child in the Duggar family of the television show 19 Kids and Counting – had sexually molested several of his sisters and a babysitter when he was a teenager, Huckabee came forward to vigorously defend Josh, who at the time of the revelations, was a high-profile spokesperson for the Family Research Council, a Washington, D.C.-based Christian conservative lobbying outfit.
On May 22, a day after reports that Duggar had molested his sisters came out, Huckabee posted on Facebook: "Let others run from them. We will run to them with our support."
Last week, during an interview with the Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly, he said that it was all about the media "exploiting" the family. According to the Christian Post, Huckabee "suggested that the family is being targeted for their Christian views, and argued that if the story concerned liberals, it would not have created such a media stir."

Somewhere along Barack Obama's winding road through the red states, he lost me. It happened when he talked about abortion seekers who are "feeling blue."
Barack Obama's statements about the city of Jerusalem before AIPAC's annual policy conference have Mosaic wondering if the candidate just slipped up or truly doesn't understand the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "Perhaps for a change," suggests hosts Jamal Dajani, "he should stop pandering to interest groups and take a hard look at the facts on the ground."

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton agree on many issues, but it's a bit surprising to see two candidates who've talked so much about the climate crisis and a new green economy tout their love of coal. Obama has an ad up in Kentucky that claims "Barack understands" the plight of the coal industry, while Clinton has promised voters in the state she would put more money into coal programs.

The Wellingtonian
Several streets in the Wellington area are named after prominent settlers and their families.
One of those is Bould St, which stretches 550 metres off Broderick Rd in Johnsonville.
The dead-end street is named after the pioneering Bould family, who for several decades were regarded as the aristocracy of Johnsonville.
Robert Bould was a pioneer farmer who travelled to Wellington with the New Zealand Company in the early 1840s.
In 1853 Mr Bould bought land in what is now Kipling St and initially used it to farm sheep. He is said to have been the first sheep farmer in the Johnsonville area.
In about 1860 Mr Bould built Daisy Hill Farmhouse (also known as Bould House), which still stands in Truscott Ave.
The building, which is category one heritage-listed, is among Wellington's oldest remaining houses. The two-storey weatherboard house was built in a simplified Georgian style.
Mr Bould later became involved in Johnsonville's growing sports scene and frequently offered his land for cricket matches.
In 1864, one of Johnsonville's earliest cricket games, between the United Eleven and Porirua Cricketers, was held on Mr Bould's paddock.
When Robert Bould died in 1875, his son, also named Robert, took over the farm.
Robert junior was strongly involved in the community.
He became chairman of the Johnsonville Town Board and helped found the lodge of Oddfellows. He was also a member of the Johnsonville School committee.
In the 1900s the Bould family land was the site of the local trotting club's racetrack. From 1913 till 1927 a nine-hole golf course was also sited on the land.
During the 20th century the land around Bould St changed dramatically.
A large number of state houses were built in the street, which went from being mostly farmland to a busy residential area.
It became even more valuable once the Johnsonville Mall was built in the late 1960s, because of its proximity.

Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited Key Developments
Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited has put its Neptune Orient Lines Limited (SGX:N03) up for sale, according to people familiar with the situation. Neptune Orient, 65% owned by Temasek and listed in Singapore, has been shopped to prospective buyers in recent months, these people said. It has been in talks with one, but the two sides couldn't agree on a price, according to one of the people. The discussions could include other potential buyers. Neptune Orient earlier was active in merger discussions with Hapag-Lloyd AG and Orient Overseas International Ltd. (SEHK:316). There's pressure to consolidate in the industry, which has suffered from overcapacity in recent years.
Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited announced on Friday that it regarded China as a very important market and would continue to seek investment opportunities in the Chinese finance sector and those related to the nation's economic transition.
Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited intends to sell its stake in STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (SGX:S24). Temasek plans to sell its controlling interest for SGD 1 billion.
