HSVB: Jada's a bit of a wallflower
VERO BEACH - My name is Jada and I'm a three-year-old female pit bull mix. I have a gray and white coat, pretty eyes and cute, pointy ears. I was brought to the shelter after my family could no longer care for me. I'm sweet but a bit on the shy side. I suppose you could say that I'm a wallflower. I'd do best in a home where I'd get lots of love and affection. Won't you please consider adopting me? The best way for us to meet would be if you would come visit me at The Humane Society. Hope to see you soon!
For more information about Jada call The Humane Society of Vero Beach and Indian River County at 772-388-3331 ext. 10 or visit the shelter at 6230 77th St., Vero Beach. Animals for adoption can be seen on the shelter's website http://www.hsvb.org.

Barrett's Esophagus - Difficult Swallowing
No signs or symptoms are associated with Barrett's esophagus, but it is commonly found in people with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). A small number of people with Barrett's esophagus develop a rare but often deadly type of cancer of the esophagus.
Barrett's esophagus affects about 1 percent1 of adults in the United States. The average age at diagnosis is 50, but determining when the problem started is usually difficult. Men develop Barrett's esophagus twice as often as women, and Caucasian men are affected more frequently than men of other races. Barrett's esophagus is uncommon in children.
The Esophagus
The esophagus carries food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach. The stomach slowly pumps the food and liquids into the intestine, which then absorbs needed nutrients. This process is automatic and people are usually not aware of it. People sometimes feel their esophagus when they swallow something too large, try to eat too quickly, or drink very hot or cold liquids.
The muscular layers of the esophagus are normally pinched together at both the upper and lower ends by muscles called sphincters. When a person swallows, the sphincters relax to allow food or drink to pass from the mouth into the stomach. The muscles then close rapidly to prevent the food or drink from leaking out of the stomach back into the esophagus and mouth.
How is Barrett's esophagus diagnosed?
Because Barrett's esophagus does not cause any symptoms, many physicians recommend that adults older than 40 who have had GERD for a number of years undergo an endoscopy and biopsies to check for the condition.
What is the risk of esophageal cancer with Barrett's esophagus?
People with Barrett's esophagus have a low risk of developing a kind of cancer called esophageal adenocarcinoma. Less than 1 percent3 of people with Barrett's esophagus develop esophageal adenocarcinoma each year. Barrett's esophagus may be present for several years before cancer develops. Esophageal adenocarcinoma is frequently not detected until its later stages when treatments are not always effective.
Periodic endoscopic examinations with biopsies to look for early warning signs of cancer are generally recommended for people who have Barrett's esophagus. This approach is called surveillance.
Typically, before esophageal cancer develops, precancerous cells appear in the Barrett's tissue. This condition is called dysplasia and can be seen only through biopsies. Multiple biopsies must be taken because dysplasia can be missed in a single biopsy. Detecting and treating dysplasia may prevent cancer from developing.
How is Barrett's esophagus with dysplasia or cancer treated?
Endoscopic or surgical treatments can be used to treat Barrett's esophagus with severe dysplasia or cancer. Your doctor will present the available options and help determine the best course of treatment for you.
Endoscopic TreatmentsSeveral endoscopic therapies are available to treat severe dysplasia and cancer. During these therapies, the Barrett's lining is destroyed or the portion of the lining that has dysplasia or cancer is cut out. The goal of the treatment is to encourage normal esophageal tissue to replace the destroyed Barrett's lining. Endoscopic therapies are performed at specialty centers by physicians with expertise in these procedures.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). PDT uses a light-sensitizing agent called Photofrin and a laser to kill precancerous and cancerous cells. Photofrin is injected into a vein and the patient returns 48 hours later. The laser light is then passed through the endoscope and activates the Photofrin to destroy Barrett's tissue in the esophagus. Complications of PDT include chest pain, nausea, sun sensitivity for several weeks, and esophageal strictures.
Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR). EMR involves lifting the Barrett's lining and injecting a solution under it or applying suction to it and then cutting it off. The lining is then removed through the endoscope. If EMR is used to treat cancer, an endoscopic ultrasound is done first to make sure the cancer involves only the top layer of esophageal cells. The ultrasound uses sound waves that bounce off the walls of the esophagus to create a picture on a monitor. Complications of EMR can include bleeding or tearing of the esophagus. EMR is sometimes used in combination with PDT.
Surgical removal of most of the esophagus is recommended if a person with Barrett's esophagus is found to have severe dysplasia or cancer and can tolerate a surgical procedure. Many people with Barrett's esophagus are older and have other medical problems that make surgery unwise; in these people, the less-invasive endoscopic treatments would be considered. Surgery soon after diagnosis of severe dysplasia or cancer may provide a person with the best chance for a cure. The type of surgery varies, but it usually involves removing most of the esophagus, pulling a portion of the stomach up into the chest, and attaching it to what remains of the esophagus.

GEORGE TOWN, Feb 24 ― The Year of the Snake will be a good one for Malaysia's economy, a deity predicted during the annual "Chneah Hoay" (flame watching) ceremony at the Hai Choo Soo (Sea Pearl) Temple in Tanjung Tokong here.
The deity, Tua Pek Kong, predicted the economy would see improvement in the first quarter to be followed by robust growth in the second and third quarter.
More than 600 of devotees crowded around the temple to pray and seek blessings in the early hours of Sunday as they awaited the announcement of the predictions.
Devotees are not allowed to enter the temple to watch the "Chneah Hoay" ceremony as only the temple committee members are allowed to conduct the ceremony and watch the predictions.
The Chneah Hoay ceremony is traditionally held on the eve of Chap Goh Meh at the temple.
During the ceremony, the deity is believed to be able to predict the country's economy for the new year through the flames of about 100 burning joss sticks.
All lights, candles and oil lamps were also put out at the temple so that the Poh Hock Seah temple committee members can observe the flames to "read" the predictions.
The temple committee members will fan the embers of the burning joss sticks and the prediction is gathered from the height and intensity of the flames and the speed with which the embers flare up in the urn.
The embers are fanned three times.
The ceremony started at about 11.50pm and ended slightly after midnight.
According to temple committee president Datuk Lim Chooi Beng, in the first fanning, the embers from the burning joss sticks flared up after one minute which signified a "fast" growing economy for the first quarter.
"In the second fanning, the embers flared up after two minutes and it flared up to two-feet high and this showed a very good economic growth in the second quarter," he said.
The third fanning took about five minutes to flare up, but due to the intensity and height of the flames, it also signified a good and stable economy.
"Overall, the deity predicted a growing economy for this year which is be better than the predictions of the last five years," he said.
He added that the flames had flared up in the shape of a snake slithering up which means that the country's economy is on its way up.
The temple has practised this Chneah Hoay ceremony for close to two centuries and it is believed to be the only temple in the country to do so every year.

Senior Economist David Littmann told The Detroit News that recent mild weather could have both positive and negative impacts on the economy.
People could "get a whole lot more confident" as spending increases at places such as golf courses and home improvement stores.
"More spending, early, does have a reinforcement effect that could move activity for the whole year," Littmann said. "But likely that would end up coming at the expense of 2013."
Littmann said the early spring sales "will essentially be redistributed within the year," and compared the situation to sales incentives on vehicles that only move sales ahead, rather than increase them overall.

text: This is an old set that I posted on my blog over a year ago but it is also a snippet from my new book, Erotic Interludes, so I thought I would bring this series back to give a general idea of the contents of the book. The cover of the book is actually the wallpaper inside the hotel room at the Standard, where I shot this series. Instead of using one of my erotic images for the cover, to grab everyone's attention, I thought it would be more interesting to use the wallpaper; for one, so you will open the book to see what goes on within the walls of the Erotic Interludes, and secondly, it gives a sense of secrecy, as if you are viewing the contents of a naughty diary. To see more previews from the book, click on link to Erotic Interludes. There are 160 pages of naughtiness.

Daily Music Dose: The Blackout
The Blackout.
A post-hardcore band hailing from Merthyr Tydfil in the rainy country of Wales. The members of this twin vocal band are as follows:
Sean Smith: Vocals
Gavin Butler: Vocals
James 'Bob' Davies: Guitar
Matthew Davies: Guitar
Rhys Lewis: Bass
Gareth 'Snoz' Lawrence: Drums
The band was originally formed in 2003, and was originally called Ten Minute Preview, but changed their name to The Blackout later that year. Their first official release was that of their mini-EP, The Blackout! The Blackout! The Blackout!, which was released on the 23rd October 2006, containing tracks such as 'I'm A Riot? You're a F*cing Riot!', Fashion Conscious Suicide and 'Its High Tide Baby!', which contained vocals from Lostprophets mainman Ian Watkins. It was then followed by the bands first full-length album on the 1st of October 2007, titled We Are The Dynamite, which had singles 'The Beijing Cocktail' and 'It's High Tide Baby!', the latter being off of the original EP.
Their latest album, The Best In Town was released earlier this year, on the 25th May. It was given a five star rating by Kerrang! Magazine. It features the singles 'This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things', which contains guest vocals from You Me At Six singer Josh Franceschi, and the albums first single, 'Children Of The Night'. One of the songs on the album, 'I Love Myself And I Want To Live',. is a parody of the Nirvana song 'I Hate Myself And I Want To Die'.
The bands sound mainly revolves around the post-hardcore genre, but it has slightly pop-punk edges to it. They definitely have very catchy choruses, and the verses fit in perfectly. The lyrics are always on the thoughtful edge, and the music conveys the mood definitely.
If you're looking for a new band to listen to, I would highly recommend The Blackout.

2035 Chevrolet Deccan | DschmidtThe Chevrolet Deccan is designed for the Indian Market. My design focus was on developing a compact yet capable vehicle for a construction manager from Mumbai. It is India's most rapidly expanding city and it has an ever improving transportation infrastructure. Road conditions, traffic congestion, and construction equipment mobility are the issues that face my customer in his daily routine. The Deccan has a single seat cab and a multi- function bot that incorporates the rear wheels, suspension, and collapsible mesh truck bed. The rear plug in section of the vehicle deploys and can assist in hauling construction supplies. The mesh truck bed collapses and the swing arms configure the wheels to be used as a second means of compact transport in dense urban traffic while stowing the cab section at the work site.

Buick powered machines are known for sh** loads of torque and JBA combines the right parts to these strong light weight cast iron block terrors to assure you can shock the rat or FE next door.
Big Bore in Buick lingo means real "big bore". Starting with a 4.310 bore, a big block 455 Buick at the local track or cruise night will shock any unsuspecting brand X. The 400 Buick and limited production 430 were both high torque engines with a long 3.90 stroke that when combined with factory stock serious compression, produced over 400 ftb of torque, stock. The advent of the big heads featuring improved oversize ports on the 455, even though the compression level dropped, further pumped up the horsepower and torque. The Stage 1 performance models blended the best of original parts and were the epitome of Buick power, only eclipsed by the over the counter factory optional Stage 2 cylinder heads and cam package.
The small block 350 is physically smaller but is a solid small block performer for those that dare to be different and need to use production parts. They were very prevalent in midsize 60's and 70's Buick passenger cars.
At JBA we specialize in Buick's built to perfection whether you use it for a street machine or track warrior or river jet boat. The availability of aftermarket aluminum cylinder heads provides the foundation for increased power whether stock stroke or big stroke combination is your goal. The blueprinting of the oiling system including the external oil pump and cover can combine with shot peened stock rods with aircraft grade bolts or H beam aftermarket rods to maximize longevity. Factory cast iron crankshafts are externally balanced to perfection or can be superceded with a steel aftermarket crank.

If you would like to mail a check to us our mailing address is: 11286 72nd Ave N. Maple Grove, MN 55369Family & Friends,
First, let us take this opportunity to thank you all for the tremendous support you've shown to us over the last couple of months. We are moved beyond words by the love, prayers, gifts and encouragement you have shown our family.
Mark Mann, as most of you know, is an amazing husband, man of God, encouraging brother, a loving son, an athlete, and a very positive person overall.
On Sunday June 16thof 2013, Mark was enjoying the warm summer weather on Balsam Lake in Wisconsin. Mark was on the water riding his stand up jet ski when he found himself in the water, looking at a boat heading in his direction. Mark quickly tried to get back on his jet ski in order to get out of the way, but he was unable to do so successfully.
Mark then realized that he needed to swim as fast as he could in order to get away from the middle of the boat. Luckily, he was able to create a distance between himself and the boat so that only his legs were hit, saving his life.
Both of his legs were severely injured in the accident midway below the knee. After an excruciating 30 minutes without pain medication, a LifeLink Helicopter airlifted him to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, MN after calling 911 for help. After being transported to Regions Hospital, he underwent immediate surgery in hope of saving his legs. Unfortunately, the injuries to his legs were too catastrophic and neither could be saved. His legs were taken from him at a far too early age of 25.
Mark is about to begin a long road to recovery. He will have to regain strength, and learn how to walk again using prosthetic legs. During this time Mark will not be able to work, and Rachael will need to be home with him full-time during his recovery process. We ask for your financial support for Mark and Rachael as they will need help covering Mark's medical expenses, prosthetic legs for Mark, and modifications to their home.
Thank you once again for your continued support. We appreciate all of your prayers, words of hope, support, and encouragement during this time as it matters the most to Mark, Rachael, and our family.
The Mann & Freedland Family
Six Feet Tall, Two Feet Short ;-) It's been awhile since I've posted an update on here and since I am currently back in the wheelchair once again and have some down time I figured I would update you all. Life began returning to a new normal, Rachael and I had returned to work fulltime. I launched www.SwansonNatural.com and we decided to get some puppies (Toby & Lulu, they are Snorkies). Life was busy and fun and I was really starting to get the hang of walking with prosthetics. After a while prosthetics start to feel like an extension of your body and you don't have to think about or calculate each step you take.
I was ready to start running and began with some light jogging on a treadmill. It was not the easiest thing to learn how to do. But after a few times and determination I was able to get it down. It is a little awkward and cumbersome, imagine trying to run on a treadmill wearing ski boots haha. That would be a funny youtube video to watch!!!
About the time I started jogging I was re-casted for my second socket. My legs had shrunk considerably and my calf muscles had started to atrophy. I was excited to get my new sockets since they would be smaller, lighter, and most importantly they would fit better. I received the new sockets a few days after Christmas.
About a month later I started noticing that my right leg was starting to hurt with every passing step. So I went in to see Dr. Anderson; they took some x-rays and sure enough I had developed a bone growth (spur) on my right Tibia, which was about ½ an inch long. My right Fibula had also developed a bone spur, it looked similar to a snake tongue as it was going in two separate directions. My left Fibula had regrown about 1.5 inches. My skin graft had shrunk dramatically and we were optimistic that we would be able to remove it entirely.
All this new bone was causing pain and discomfort with each step. So we scheduled a revision surgery for March 14th. I told the doctors that it had to be done before March Madness haha.
My surgery went well, but I left in more pain than I thought I was going to be in. The doctors were able to remove the bone spurs, skin graft, and any extra tissue and skin. They reshaped my limbs and buried a very large nerve ending into muscle to relive phantom pains.
It's been 4 days since my surgery and I am starting to feel better. Most of the pain has subsided. I am able to fully extend my legs without shooting pains and most importantly my phantom pain/sensations has almost completely disappeared.
I am unable to bear any weight on my limbs for 4 weeks, so I'm back in the wheelchair which is the major downside to having revision surgery. However, in the long run this surgery should be very beneficial.
I'll be re-casted for another socket once I'm able to bear weight. My goal is to be up and walking around by mid to late April. And running by June. I want to enjoy this summer and I won't let this stop me!! My big goal for this summer is to wake surf without a rope, I will definitely post videos!
Thanks for all the continued support and prayers. It means the world to me and I wouldn't be where I am today if it were not for all of you praying me. I am truly blessed to know so many loving and caring people. I am very lucky!
It has almost been a week since I took my prosthetic legs home and I can't believe how much progress I have made! I am very excited to have my legs back and to be up and moving around once again. It was a long 3 months and it hasn't been a walk in the park. There were many challenges I had to overcome and many mental battles that I had to win but here I am 3 months later standing tall and proud once again.
Prosthetic legs come in all different shapes and sizes and each person that has one must master the art of using their prosthetic. However, many people let their amputation or injury define them and look down on themselves for having a prosthetic. I try to take a different approach and let my attitude define me and not my prosthetic legs. You see life is much easier and way more fun when you choose to have a good and positive attitude no matter what situation you find yourself in.
A lot of people have asked me what it is like to walk with a prosthetic leg and the best way I can describe it is that it feels like I am walking in really tight and stiff ski/snowboard boots. I have very little ankle flex so it is a lot of toe to heal type walking. I have become more and more use to it as I wear them more and more.
I do believe that after a few more weeks I will be able to be more active, possibly even getting back onto the basketball court! I do except challenges to come my way but I will not let them prevent me from doing what I want. I also plan to snowboard once again this winter. I actually believe that this will come quite easy since I already feel as if I am wearing snowboard boots.
I will continue to keep you guys posted on my progress and victories. Also, I do want to encourage anyone who is going through a tough situation to continue to rely on God for strength and encouragement. God has given me a second chance at life, even though things might be a little different I know that God is at work and has a plan in place for my life. And for that I am very thankful.
Yesterday, I began the prosthetic process with my first casting! It was exciting and informative at the same time. I am anxious to get back on my feet and regain my mobility. I never thought I would look forward to walking, but the idea of it makes me thrilled. I joke around with people when I say, "If I could learn to walk at 10 months I most certainly think I should be able to learn at the age of 26!"
My legs needed to be casted in order for molds to be made. Once they have a mold of my leg. Silicon liners are made to replicate the shape of my legs using exact measurements. The idea of the liner is that it is used as a supportive and protective layer of artificial skin that goes between my real skin and the prosthetic. This is the first step in the process.
In 10-14 days my liners will be ready. If my liners fit correctly I will be casted again in order for the carbon fiber molds to be made. This is what gives strength and support to the prosthetic. The carbon fiber molds take about 1 week. So if everything goes as planned I could be walking on my right leg with 3 weeks and on both legs with 5 weeks!
Update: 40 Days Later
Life without legs will quickly humble any man. Everything that I used to do without thinking now becomes a much longer process, for example: opening a door, taking a shower, going to the bathroom, riding in a car, or just moving about. In all honesty, I have not been able to accept it, and it has been hard to get used to. It can be very frustrating and annoying at times. Much, if not all, of my independence is gone and I must rely on others for almost everything I do. It is a completely different way of life, and I feel for those who are in similar or worse condition than I am. I am blessed that this is only a brief season in my life, and that this is not the end result.
You see, you and I take much of life for granted. Examples include: waking up, having a roof over our head, a car to drive, food to eat, a bed to sleep in, good health, etc. We need to remember that we are not entitled to anything, this world is not our own, and each day is a gift from God. It is our choice to live for or against Him. Sometimes it takes a humbling experience to put things in the right perspective (God is good at humbling us), and I can honestly say that this has been the most humbling and difficult situation I have ever been through.
I say all of this not to discourage but to encourage you. You see God uses trials and hardships to refine us, strengthen us, to draw us closer to Him, and to build character amongst many other things. Take a second to read the Scripture below, then pause and really think about what you just read.
James 1: 2-4 "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
Did James seriously just tell us to consider trials pure joy? I don't know about you, but this is not my natural reaction and at times this seems impossible to do. However, let's look at the benefits of facing a trial: the testing of our faith produces perseverance, we become mature and complete, and lack nothing. Now that is something to get excited about! I don't know about you but I definitely want to get to the point in my faith where I am lacking nothing; wow, what an awesome experience that would be.
This trial has not been easy, and at times I really struggle with it. I am no different than you, I am human and this is simply… tough. However, I know and believe that God is at work and has an amazing plan in place for me, just as He does for you. Let's believe and trust in Him together. Let's be world changers!
My prayer is that God will increase my ability to trust Him when I am weak in faith, to love Him like He loves me, to obey and follow where He leads, and to never doubt His promises. I must submit myself to God, for He gave me this life and He can take it away at any point (how clear this is to me). Let's believe and trust in Him together!
Let's be World Changers!
Update 7/9/13 – My Birthday!
Today is my 26th birthday, I cannot believe I am already 26 years old. It seems like I just turned 20 two or three years ago. This was and will be my only birthday in a wheelchair, I am determined and motivated to make sure of that!
I enjoyed a relaxing day that started with a freshly baked cinnamon roll and ended with dinner at Ike's with the family. My wife got me an awesome birthday present which consisted of VIP tickets to the Nitro Circus Show at the Target Center in January!
My recovery is going well, I had all of my staples and stitches removed yesterday. I was also fitted for a protective prosthetic that will protect the ends of my legs. My right leg is feeling great, it is about a month ahead of my left. I only had stiches in my right leg. My left leg is a little behind due to the skin graph that was needed to close my left leg. I had staples in my left leg and it'll take a little bit longer for my skin graph to heal.
I am still working out two times a day (sometimes I'm lazy and only get in one exercise haha). I will be measured and fitted for my custom wheelchair tomorrow. I will need a wheelchair to get around in the bathroom when my prosthetic legs are off.

It's the 4th of July and roughly 3 weeks since my life changing accident. Rachael and I are back up at my cabin (where the accident took place) for the first time. I have some family in from out of town staying at the cabin this weekend that are an absolute blast to hang out with so we decided to come up. It was not easy for Rachael and me when we first pulled into the driveway. She had to gather herself before we were able to get out of the car, we experienced a lot of emotions and had some flashbacks.
With that said, we have had an absolute blast so far and there have been no accidents to report, praise God :-) The weather has been absolutely perfect so far and we are enjoying the company of some great family members.
It has been hard for me to sit and watch from the sidelines, I long to be active and out on the water. However, I know that this is just temporary and before long I will have my day in the sun. I am still working out twice a day doing physical therapy to keep my muscles strong and loose. I have been feeling good overall and I am excited to start the prosthetic leg process in a little over 6 weeks!
I am so excited to see where God leads me throughout this process. My story has been shared by so many and I have heard some great reports about how it is effecting people's lives. Like I have said all along, this is God's story, I am just a vessel and it has been all Him working through me.
You guys are the best! I am so grateful for some many great friends and family who have rallied around me with prayer and support. Without all of you I would not be where I am today. Thank you so very much!
Hey, Everyone First off, I want to say thank you for all of your prayers, support, and financial donations. It is very much appreciated and I would not have made it this far if it were not for all of my family and friends. I have had quite the experience in the last two weeks, lots of highs and some lows, lots of prayer and some tears, lots of rehab and some pain.
I am scheduled to leave the hospital tomorrow (6/30) around noon, praise God. I am way ahead of schedule and I have been feeling pretty good. My mobility has increased and I am able to move around a good amount.
As of right now, my right leg is a little bit ahead of my left leg due to a skin graft that was needed to close the wound on my left leg. However, with that said I should be fitted for prosthetic legs in about 2 months and learning to walk on my own in about 3 months.
At some point in the next 6 months I anticipate that I will be back to 100% or as close as possible to it. Most doctors have been telling me that I should have about 87% of my mobility back when it is all said and done, praise God. That means I'll be able to run, exercise, and play sports…especially basketball.
I still have a long road to recovery and it will not be easy so please continue to pray for me and help support us in any way possible.
We will be having a fundraiser at New Life Academy on Friday, August 9th more details to come! Please help spread the word about the fundraiser and come support Rachael and I.

Also in this section…?
Select each thumbnail to see the full image.
In November 2014, to encourage participants in the Movember charity moustache growing month, the Maritime Archives and Library added another couple of images of men with impressive facial hair to our online gallery. In keeping with the commemoration of the beginning of the First World War, both men served during the conflict.
The first new addition is Albert Percy Bishop (1879-1947), purser for Blue Funnel (Ocean Steam Ship Company) and Donaldson Line. The Maritime Archives and Library holds a collection of records relating to Bishop's career.It includes photographs taken when he served on First World War hospital ships, of wounded soldiers and the medical staff attempting to help them.
The second image is a page from 'Cunard Clerical Staff by Land and Sea', showing D Stirling of the Wharfingers' Department who joined the 17th Battalion King's Liverpool Rifles. This booklet was published by Cunard and contained photographs and brief biographical details of Cunard clerical staff who joined up within the first twelve months of the First World War. There doesn't seem to be an entry for D Stirling amongst the lists of war dead, so hopefully he survived the conflict.
These two fine examples of facial hair join our distinguished 'moustaches from the past' gallery of elegantly turned out men who embraced the moustache and wore it with pride - and could shave at sea in a gale.
The beautifully drawn title page of the De Wolf album. reference DX/2243
These six moustaches are all from the same book, a volume of photographs of members of the Sailing Ship Mutual Insurance Associations of Liverpool. The album was presented to John Starr De Wolf, a shipbroker for Charles E De Wolf & Company of Tower Buildings, Water Street, Liverpool, to mark his retirement from business in 1915.
There is no picture of Mr De Wolf in the album, so we don't know if he was moustached or not, but plenty of his contemporaries were. Quite what he made of his gift is not recorded, but the album was gifted to us by the descendent of a member of the Association in 2004 (reference DX/2243).

It may be the last day of the 2013 General Assembly session, but Thursday will be the beginning for new Fair Tax legislation.
In 2010, Tom Kirby didn't get the votes to replace the FairTax's original sponsor John Linder in Congress, but he won a special election to go to the state House last year, where he plans to continue the quest.
Kirby, R-Loganville, plans to introduce the Georgia Fair Taxation Act of 2014 on legislative Day 40, getting a head start on next year. The legislation is a take on the congressional idea, now being sponsored by U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall, R-Lawrenceville. It would eliminate the state income tax and raise the state sales tax.
"By removing the income tax, we can increase the number of taxpayers and reduce the amount everyone pays," Kirby said. "The public is ready for serious tax reform and bold solutions to solve our economic problems."
Over the legislative break, Kirby plans to bring together leading economists to decide the proper tax rates to ensure a neutral effect on the state's revenue. Over the next nine months, the group will also decide which goods and services should be included in the bill's consumption tax, and whether any exemptions should be made. Rep. Kirby and the economists will also study the positive impacts the change could have on economic development in Georgia.
"This legislation would move Georgia from an income tax to a consumption-based tax, so that tourists and visitors would share in the tax burden," he said. "By shifting this responsibility, the state will be able to receive tax dollars from everyone who enjoys government services, and in turn help Georgia attract new business."
At least eight states, including Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Tennessee, do not have income taxes. Others, like South Carolina, are considering a change.
Political Notebook appears in the Thursday and Sunday editions of the Gwinnett Daily Post.
Camie Young can be reached via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bold move and a good one. My guess is the Georgia legislative body will not have Mr. Kirby's guts and therefore this will never make it into law.
voter73 2 years, 6 months ago
This so-called "fair tax" is just another way to raise taxes. It's a good idea in theory, but no one has figured out how to change from an income tax to a consumption tax without double taxing existing assets.
Currently you are taxed when you earn money and when you spend it. This new tax plan will shift both taxes to when you spend money. This means the money you already paid as income tax will be charged again when you spend it (which is addition to the existing sales or consumption tax) This is clearly double taxation. When I contacted John Linder (who was my congressman) his office said "yes, but it will only happen one time". A one time double charge is one time too many.
LilburnsFuture 2 years, 6 months ago
The "Fair Tax" is a good idea in theory?? Our CURRENT tax code works in theory. In practice, it's horrible. So, what's your point?
voter73 2 years, 6 months ago
Yes, it's good in theory.. The problem is how to convert from a combination of income and consumption taxes to just consumption taxes. I keep asking this question but there's no response other than "it will only be a problem once".
TOWG 2 years, 6 months ago
Read the book voter73. The Fair Tax only goes into effect AFTER the repeal of the income tax.
voter73 2 years, 6 months ago
Yes, I've been told that before and I've read the book which ignores the problem. I have money in the bank saved after paying income tax. Money will also be saved when there is no income tax. However, both the "before" and "after" money will be taxed the same way when it's spent. This means the "before" money will be taxed higher than the "after"..
Sandykin 2 years, 6 months ago
Some sort of credit would have to be worked out and included on the tax returns for the last year in which there was an income tax. However, should the law pass, I think a great many people would accelerate their plans and buy that house or whatever before the fair tax went into affect so as to avoid being double taxed.
FordGalaxy 2 years, 6 months ago
Now we just wait for the plethora of comments telling us how horrible the fair tax is and how it will destroy the middle class while gifting more and more money to the uber-wealthy.

CORRECTION: Louisiana has a state income tax. Can someone please tell GDP to make the correction?
DavidBrown 2 years, 6 months ago
I have always been concerned about the Fair Tax. It seems that its only backers are conservative Republicans. If a proposal was only backed by progressive Democrats, like President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, the conservatives would be wary of that proposal. I wish the Fair Tax had bipartisan backing.
FordGalaxy 2 years, 6 months ago
DavidBrown - The vast majority of support that I know of personally for the Fair Tax comes from neither Republicans nor Democrats, but actually comes form Libertarians. Libertarian ideals are on the rise on the conservative side of the political spectrum, even though Libertarianism is a fairly centrist view point. Some Republicans latch on, but they're relatively few in number and tend to be a hybrid mixture of Republican and Libertarian. Outside a few "Blue Dogs" you don't see many Democrats talking positively about the Fair Tax.
Mack711 2 years, 6 months ago
The Fair Tax idea came from Rep; John Linder of the 7th Congressional District of Georgia, he is a Republican and Neal Boortz with Linder wrote the book. I like the idea of the fair tax but it must be implimented on the Federal level first. My question is what affect will this have on a lot of our seniors that are on fixed income. When we do away with the income tax the funds for running the State must come from some where and the Seniors will be hit hardest. Can some one say how this will affect the seniors.
Jan 2 years, 6 months ago
Yes, FordGalaxy, someone needs to point out how unfair the "Fair Tax" idea really is. I know that many readers like to ignore the facts when I try to give them so read here, a fair explanation of the plan as proposed by Linder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairtax. It becomes obvious that this would be a tax cut for the wealthy who now enjoy a lower effective tax than many of the middle class. Then explain to me how it is fair for those that have planned for retirement by saving money already taxed once must then be taxed a second time as they withdraw it to live on for the rest of their life. It would take a book to explain all the problems with the Fairtax plan. Don't be deceived by the inappropriate name.
FordGalaxy 2 years, 6 months ago
No offense, Jan. You know I appreciate our discussions. But I have to be honest in saying your research would be laughed out of any high school or college class worth a darn. Wikipedia is not a good source for any research, as it is an open source of editing. If I were a registered user and could edit any article, I could go on the Fair Tax article and say the plan was devised by Abraham Lincoln after he stepped off the Mayflower and met Benjamin Franklin. That's how weak a source Wikipedia is.
Again, I mean no offense. Just trying to point that out.
Sandykin 2 years, 6 months ago
I suspect the overwhelming majority of people who fund their own retirements, are smart enough to save in tax sheltered accounts such as 401ks and IRAs. You contribute with pretax dollars and interest accrues tax free. You don't pay any tax until the money is withdrawn. Perfect for Fair Tax.
Jan 2 years, 6 months ago
FordGalaxy: While I agree that one should not depend on Wikipedia, it does allow people to rebut any article in which case their researchers determine which position is more credible. In some cases they post opposing ideas when the answers are not clear. This makes Wikipedia a good point to begin ones research. Hopefully, you are not too lazy too invest a little more time and apply the math as explained in Wikipedia and compare with other sites on the subject. I chose Wikipedia because it is a well written article that does point out the most of the major flaws of the plan, though admittedly not all. Most other sources are obviously either pro Fairtax or anti Fairtax and thus most people will read a few lines of the side in opposition to the way they think and ignore the facts that are laid out. Do the math, it really isn't that difficult, then tell me how the wealthy can pay significantly less tax without the middle class tax burden increasing.
Jan 2 years, 6 months ago
Sandykin: While some retirement should be in IRAs and 401ks, not all. Then we also have the Roth IRA accounts which are not suppose to be taxed again. Everyone should have non-retirement savings also.
John5214 2 years, 6 months ago
C'mon people. Not why we can't, but how we can. Excuses, help nobody.

Church brothers' quarrel ends in stabbing
Christopher Thomas, STAR Writer
A St James man, who stabbed his church brother during a quarrel, returns to the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court for sentencing on March 14.
Roland Fray, 20, from King Street, Montego Bay, pleaded guilty on Thursday to unlawful wounding, after stabbing Janeek Ferguson in the shoulder with a knife.
Ferguson told Resident Magistrate Sheron Barnes that he was in a conversation with another church member along St James Street, when he was accosted by Fray.
"I don't know him (Fray) personally, but on December 29 I was discussing with one of my church sisters about a phone that he took from one of my friends," said Ferguson.
"What you and him have, why you come to stab him?" RM Barnes asked Fray.
"I saw him and one of my church sisters and another church brother, and I heard my name called," replied Fray. "I told him not to call my name, and he fly up and tell me about my mother."
Fray said a fight ensued between them, during which he stabbed Ferguson.
"He chucked (pushed) me and I chucked him back and stabbed him with the knife. I had found it in the town that morning," said Fray.
"You are 20, find something to do and stop finding offensive weapons on the streets," RM Barnes said sternly.
The magistrate ordered a social-enquiry report be prepared to assist in sentencing Fray. She also ordered him fingerprinted.

Barnet boss Mark Robson is searching for a striker in the loan market to share some of the goalscoring burden with Jon Nurse.
Nurse has found the net twice this season but looked isolated on his own in attack as the Bees lost 3-1 at Gillingham last weekend, a result which left them rooted to the foot of League Two.
Experienced frontman Steve Kabba is still recovering from a long-term knee injury so Robson is hunting for reinforcements.
"We are looking, we are trying to get another striker in to help us along the way, that's for sure," he said.
"We created chances against Gillingham but we are not putting them away."

The holidays are over and you spent all your hard earned cash (or most of it anyway) on others. Here's a chance to show yourself and your home a little love. Sure Fit is giving us one slipcover to give away to a lucky winner. I had a Sure Fit slipcover years ago and it saved my living room by covering a very faded sofa that was otherwise in good condition. Pictured below, the stretch slipcover we'll be giving away has the look and feel of suede. The separate pillow cover is designed to cover your removable loose back pillows. No one will know it's a slipcover but you! Retails for $159.99 but just leave a comment below and we will pick one luck winner at random on Jan. 5. Happy New Year!
Slipcover Giveaway!
29 Responses
I really need a slip cover for my couch, and this is perfect. We have been living with a "out on the street" couch for the past 6 months. When i brought it home my boyfriend thought I was nuts, but it has good bones, and I had plans to rip it all apart and recover it. That is until I realized how much just in fabric that would cost. So, this would be awesome to have.
That looks pretty nice!
Just "inherited" a couch that could use a slipcover! Great giveaway!
This would help complete my den.
Looks custom made. Have a sofa that is just crying "Sure Fit" for sure.
That color would be perfect in my living room!
I love my hand me down couch, it's very comfy, but I hate the color; off white with 3 dogs does not mix!
i think this is just like the cover i saw at my friend's house last week. its super nice and exactly what i need. the normal kinds just quickly get shuffled around after sitting on the couch the first time after putting the dang thing on!
Nice, I could really use a slip cover.
with 5 couch parrots in my house I live for slipcovers!
Oh…I would love a slipcover for a hand me down couch on my sunporch!
I have been looking for a slip cover for my sofa and this looks great. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
It's time to change my color scheme – a slipcover will help a bunch!
Awesome! A great looking slip cover that looks like it would work for me.
Lovely! THanks for the chance.
I keep looking at the "sure fit" slipcovers for my couch that
I dearly love and do not want to replace. I want to be able to downsize
to an apartment in the next 12 months and don't want to replace my
I have bought a couple of "dog couch covers" recently and they have
been good in the short term. It would be a nice "room changer" to have
a bright new look for "30 year old" couch.
Thank you
A slipcover that STAYS on would be a wonderful thing !!
with a house full of kids all the time and a creamy tan sofa, who couldnt use a slipcover!!
Happy new Year!

Newly appointed Burbank Unified Supt. Jan Britz will earn a starting salary of $185,250, nearly $50,000 less than that of her predecessor, according to the terms of her contract released by the district this week.
The Burbank Unified school board announced on May 25 that Britz, previously assistant superintendent of instructional services, would replace outgoing Stan Carrizosa.
Carrizosa was hired by the district in 2010 with a starting salary of $235,000. At the time, the school board took heat for what some considered excessively high compensation, said President Debbie Kukta. But Carrizosa brought with him years of experience as a superintendent, she said.
"We were really criticized for Stan's salary because it was significantly more than Kevin Jolly's and Greg Bowman's," Kukta said, referring to two proceeding superintendents. "But you kind of pay for what you get, and superintendent salaries are very competitive."
Britz, on the other hand, is not yet a proven superintendent, Kukta said.
"What we did is split the difference between what she was making as an assistant superintendent and what Stan was making," Kukta said.
Britz cited the difference in experience and the district's budget shortfall for her substantially smaller salary.
"We are always trying to be more conservative," Britz said.
Her one-year contract does include a total monthly allowance of $500 for cellphone and automobile costs.
The newly minted superintendent started with Burbank Unified in 2006 as head of secondary education and testing. She later oversaw elementary education, human resources, child care development and student services. Most recently she served as assistant superintendent of instructional services.
Officials said that the leadership change has been a smooth one.
"I think that Jan is going to do a great job," school board member Larry Applebaum said. "She has a really good, solid team in place."
The recently approved contract is good for one year, after which time the school board can chose to increase her salary, Kukta said.
"Jan loves Burbank," Kukta said. "She is really dedicated to the school district. I think she will prove herself, and the board, at their discretion, will definitely take a look at her salary. As she continues to grow, that will be rewarded."

The Apostasy of Mother Teresa and her Religious Order, The Missionaries of CharityTweet this article
Mother Teresa of Calcutta was the founder of the Missionaries of Charity, one of the largest and most famous religious orders in the Vatican II sect. Mother Teresa is considered to be one of the shining lights of the post-Vatican II religion. The sad truth is that she wasn't even Catholic. Her religious indifferentism and apostasy from the Catholic Faith was illustrated in a 1989 interview with Time Magazine.
Mother Teresa's 1989 Interview with Time Magazine – She loved all religions!
Time: What do you think of Hinduism?
Mother Teresa: I love all religions, but I am in love with my own. No discussion. That's what we have to prove to them. Seeing what I do, they realize that I am in love with Jesus."
As quoted here, Mother Teresa loved all religions. Mother Teresa loved religions of Satan! She loved religions of idolatry, religions that reject Christ, etc. This is apostasy. And she will soon be a "saint" in the Vatican II sect, thus proving again that the Vatican II sect is not the Catholic Church.
1 Corinthians 13:3- "And if I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, and if I should deliver my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing."
Mother Teresa's charity was false, because it was not founded on the true Faith. It profited her nothing.
Pope Pius XI, Mortalium Animos (# 9), Jan. 6, 1928: "For which reason, since charity is based on a complete and sincere faith, the disciples of Christ must be united principally by the bond of one faith."37
Hebrews 11:6: "But without faith it is impossible to please God…"
When we consider this act, together with Mother Teresa's many other statements of apostasy below, there is no doubt that she was among the worst apostates and biggest false prophets in all of Catholic history.
The picture on the left, we see Mother Teresa worshipping Buddha in a ceremony of thanksgiving for the 25th anniversary of the Missionaries of Charity. She is kneeling in prayer in the bottom-left corner of the picture. The picture on the right is a close-up of the same ceremony, which took place on October 7, 1975.
After John Paul II held his idolatrous inter-religious prayer meeting in Assisi in 1986 where, among other abominations, the Dalai Lama placed a Buddhist statue on top of the Tabernacle, Mother Teresa referred to the day as "the most beautiful gift of God."
A recently released book, Everything Starts From Prayer, Mother Teresa's Meditations on Spiritual Life for People of all Faiths, also shows Mother Teresa's thorough rejection of the Catholic Faith and the necessity of Christ for salvation. The foreword quotes one of her most famous statements, which reveals the demonic spirit of Mother Teresa's work:
Mother Teresa: "I've always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic."
This is apostasy from Jesus Christ and the Catholic Faith. Mother Teresa also stated: "Some call Him Ishwar, some call Him Allah, some simply God, but we have to acknowledge that it is He who made us for greater things: to love and be loved. What matters is that we love. We cannot love without prayer, and so whatever religion we are, we must pray together."
So, in short, Mother Teresa believed that God (the Most Holy Trinity) and demons (the false gods of the heathens) are one and the same. The fact that she is considered "saintly" by the Vatican II sect constitutes one of the biggest spiritual frauds in Christian history. Mother Teresa expressed a general attitude of indifference to what religion a man professed, and manifested her approval of false religions of the Devil (non-Christian religions) consistently.
"Once, when Mother Teresa was ministering to a dying Buddhist man, a visitor overheard her whisper, You say a prayer in your religion, and I will say a prayer as I know it. Together we will say this prayer and it will be something beautiful for God."
In Mother Teresa, A Pictorial Biographyby Joanna Hurley, we read the following on page 68 about Mother Teresa's Order, The Missionaries of Charity:
"A Catholic Order, The Missionaries of Charity is nonetheless ecumenical in its work. The nuns bury the dying they have nursed according to the rites of each individual's religion, and they observe local holidays [of the other religions] along with those of the Church. Here a group of young nuns help children light sparklers for Diwali, India's Festival of Lights."
This means that the nuns of Mother Teresa's order not only approved of, but actually participated in, the pagan rites of non-Christian religions. This is because they are following the religious indifferentism of their founder, Mother Teresa. On page 68 of this book, there is a picture of the nuns of Mother Teresa's order lighting the sparklers for the Hindu festival of Diwali with gigantic smiles on their faces. This is sin against the Faith of the worst kind; nay, it is religion of Antichrist – where man, and his personal preference for false religions, supersedes and replaces Jesus Christ.
A friend of ours from Canada recently called the superior of one of Mother Teresa's convents. Our friend said, "How come Mother Teresa never tried to convert anyone?" "Mother Superior" from Canada responded: "It is the ultimate respect for the human person to respect his religion." "Mother Superior" told our friend that these non-Catholics are going to Heaven even if they reject Christ, as long as they are "good people," for that's what matters, according to her. In other words, man and his choice of religion are greater and more important than Jesus Christ. This is the Gospel of Antichrist, and Mother Teresa was its main false prophet and exemplar outside of the Vatican II antipopes. She cloaked her apostasy in purely natural works which gave her the appearance of true charity when, in fact, she had none.
Pope St. Pius X, Editae Saepe (# 28), May 26, 1910: "As a matter of fact, however, merely naturally good works are only a counterfeit of virtue since they are neither permanent nor sufficient for salvation."
Mother Teresa fed and clothed the bodies of many people, but she left their souls starving for what they needed most, Our Lord Jesus Christ. She deprived these souls of the only thing that really mattered, and therefore was not their true friend, but their enemy.
Luke 12:4-5: "[Jesus saith] And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him."
John 17:3: "Now this is life everlasting, that they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
1 John 5:11-12: "And this is the testimony, that God hath given to us eternal life. And this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son, hath life. He that hath not the Son, hath not life."
We have spent some extended time on this issue because it's likely that the Vatican II sect will soon "canonize" the apostate Mother Teresa, who exemplified some of the worst religious indifferentism of any of the members of the Vatican II sect. Since canonizations are infallible, this will be further proof that the Vatican II antipopes are not true popes.
We could continue with page after page of examples of the apostasy of the religious orders, but the point should be clear. The religious orders of the Vatican II sect are apostate since they are following the teaching of Vatican II.

Dr. Awad is byfar the best doctor that I have had. I have been with him for the last 6 years. He genuinely cares about me as a patient. From the lines of his words, you can tell that he is very knowledgeable. He is willing to go the distance to answer the questions that I have, and make sure that i fully understand what I should do on my part to improve my health. His constant optimism is contagious, giving me lots of confidence in improving my health condition. Don't laught at me: since I moved (from VA to MD), I still retain his service although it means that I had to travel 1.5 hr each way in order to get to his office.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1939 Ford COE
Favored for their shorter overall length (and better visibility) compared to more conventional designs, Ford's Cab Over Engine (COE) trucks were a staple on American roads for decades, used for everything from box trucks to fire engines. We've seen most variants over the years, and few were as stylish as this oval-grille 1939 Ford COE for sale on Hemmings.com. Equipped with a flathead V-8 that's seen less than 50 miles since a rebuild, the truck also wears new paint and sports a new interior and new tires. Though the truck is currently wearing a flatbed, we can't help but think that a stake bed or vintage car hauler conversion would suit this truck well. From the seller's description:
For Sale a recently restored 1939 Ford COE Truck. Completely rebuilt flat head V/8 with less than 50 miles. Manual four-speed transmission w/two-speed rear-end. New interior and paint. Many new parts including seven new tires. Being sold out of an estate on the Central Coast in California. This truck is one to keep for shows, touring or as an advertising icon for a business.
Location: Santa Ynez, California

This is something I love to see; a 30's COE truck that has been restored instead of the cab being grafted onto a modern chassis. I won't dispute that some of those conversions (like that orange and silver one featured a few months back) look good and are functional but there are too few of these trucks left. I hope the buyer of this one keeps it as is, and shows it a lot so people can see what a stock one actually looks like.
Interior lay-out is not unlike a VW microbus ….. sold that way into the mid '60's.
Is that the oil filler/ breather sticking out of the "doghouse"? How'd you like to suck those fumes all day!
I am interested in your 1939 Ford coe,
If it is still for sale could you please send me you phone#,

text: In fact, as I argued last week, what they are trying to do, with some success, is to impose a counterreality in which the sins of apartheid are being erased by the sins, failures and weaknesses of the African National Congress (ANC). The intention is to erase the racism of the past and present with the corruption, lack of delivery, moral degeneration and the pursuit of narrow individual interests which, for reasons I will unpack in another article, form part of the dominant narrative in South African politics and radio talk shows. In other words, apartheid was not so bad after all. And because apartheid was not so bad after all, as evidenced by the unbridled racism of those who respond online to columns and articles that are published in this newspaper, the arrogance of some white people has itself become a significant component of this dominant narrative. – Aubrey Matshiqi in Business Day

Oscars snub directing favourites Kathryn Bigelow and Ben Affleck
- From: AP
- January 11, 2013
IN this year's Oscar nominations, the director's seat was the hot seat.
In the now heavily-analysed awards season, unequivocal snubs have become less common as the field is more accurately predicted. But overnight, the motion picture academy provided the genuine article: a somewhat shocking and unexpected brush off to one whom it so recently exalted: Kathryn Bigelow.
The director of the Osama bin Laden chase film Zero Dark Thirty had been widely expected to land her second directing nomination, with a strong chance of repeating her historic 2009 win for The Hurt Locker over her ex-husband James Cameron and a little, blue-people movie called Avatar.
But alas, Bigelow was not among the names read overnight, leading to inevitable speculation that Bigelow and the film were diminished by the many objections to the movie's much-debated depiction of torture.

We just purchased a home with a pool in terrible shape....couldn't see 6 inches. We drained it and acid washed it (had it done by a not completely competant pool guy). He scrubbed the bottom of the pool, which is nice and white. The sides are still pea-green (he didn't use the gel muratic acid). The calcium build-up on the tiles is pretty thick. I used a pumice stone to clean them....I used ONE stone for TWO 6" tiles and about 15 minutes of elbow grease. Ok, I don't mind the elbow grease, but the pumice stones are about $3.00 appiece....hmmmm, that's about $1,000 worth of pumice. So I have two questions:
1) any better way to clean the calcium deposits?
2) what's the best way to clean the pea-green stain?
