Sometimes a simple sandwich simply won't do. You think a few slippery slices of nuked chicken smothered in from-the-jar mayo on a stale bap will see you through to that pitch at 4pm? Think again.

A funny thing happens when a man wakes up in a hotel room in a foreign clime. Alone, remote control in a hand like the corpse of Jim Royle, mouth as dry as a nun's habit and a half-eaten mini tube of Pringles scattered over the duvet - for most of us while away on business our foggy, jet-lagged, early morning minds think of only one thing. No, not how to explain away to your accounts department the three pay-per-view adult movies ordered the previous evening but, instead, breakfast.Read
It had been a decent, barely-decadent dinner. Held at the Monkey Bar in New York two weeks ago, GQ Tasty, a couple of forever-thirsty contributors, and one terrifyingly Machiavellian high-powered Hollywood publicist sat down to shoot the warm April breeze over burgers, one lukewarm lobster thermidor and, for me, a perfectly cooked line caught piece of striped bass. Owned by Vanity Fair's Graydon Carter, MB's couldn't be anymore 'New York': sepia wall murals, an old-man quietly warming the ivories, wise-guy waiters peddling about under towering trays of charred meat - I half expected to see Rudy Giuliani plating up. Or Jay-Z at the till.Read
Men, can we talk salad for a moment? You know, the green stuff you've herded round various plates distastefully and disrespectfully since the age of six. I know for a man it is not the most becoming subject to chow down on, but maybe it is time to admit that, actually, sometimes a sweet arugula and fig salad, mixed with chucks of yellow beet and a slice or two of baked goat's cheese trumps a hamburger for lunchtime spot-hitting. Right? OK, I know even uttering the word "fennel" in front of your co-workers feels akin to openly fretting about your sock and tie colour co-ordination but I think we all operate above the usual male metrosexual stereotyping here on GQ Tasty, wouldn't you agree?Read

T-Mobile is acting short-sighted in this case or just doesn't care anymore knowing it will either be eaten up by AT&T or Sprint. AT&T paid major money for the iPhone, as did Verizon, and likewise with Sprint. If T-Mobile wanted to survive, it would cough up the money to Apple and take a temporary loss for a MAJOR long-term gain.

Australia – Skilled Group performs well in difficult market
Skilled Group (SKE: AXE), the largest staffing firm in Australia, reported revenue for the year ending 30 June 2013 of AUD 1.87 billion (USD 1.7 billion), a fall from AUD 1.89 billion (USD 1.72 billion) a year ago, equating to a drop of -1.1%. However, profit for the period increased to AUD 56.2 million (USD 51.2 million) from AUD 49.3 million (USD 45 million) a year ago, a rise of +13.9%.
Revenue for Skilled Group's Workforce Services business segment fell to AUD 918.3 million (USD 837.4 million) from AUD 933.5 million (USD 851.3) a year ago, a drop of -1.6%. EBITDA margin fell from 4.9% for 2012 to 4.4% for 2013. Workforce Services was impacted by the slowdown in mining and related services, but offset by improved activity in infrastructure, telecommunications, and rail sectors. Margins were impacted by continued pricing pressure from clients. Half of all revenue comes from the Workforce Services segment, which specialises in blue collar trades; including mining & resources, primary manufacturing, and food & pharmaceuticals.
Revenue for the Technical Professionals business segment fell from AUD 507.4 million (USD 462.7 million) for 2012 to AUD 488.9 million (USD 445.8 million) for 2013, a fall of -3.6%. EBITDA margin fell from 5.7% to 5.5% year-on-year. The slowdown in mining and related activity impacted revenue and profit growth in this business segment, which was partially offset by lower indirect costs. The Technical Professionals business segment provides IT&T, executive, professional services, technical professional and medically rained casual, contract, and permanent staffing solutions. A quarter of group revenue comes from the Technical Professionals segment.
Engineering and Marine Services was the only business segment to report revenue growth for 2013. Revenue increased by +2.7%, from AUD 456.5 million (USD 416.3 million) in 2012 to AUD 468.8 million (USD 427.5 million) for 2013. EBITDA margin increased from 8% to 8.8% year-on-year. Improved revenue and earnings were achieved as a result of increased activity in current and new project and maintenance contracts, primarily in mining. Engineering and Marine Services provides contract maintenance and engineering services, offshore marine staffing, vessel chartering, and management services. For the 2013 financial year, this business segment accounted for a quarter of total revenue.
Looking forward, trading conditions are expected to remain challenging in some business segments with subdued activity levels expected to continue into the first half of 2014. Reduced activity and pricing pressure particularly in the mining sector is predicted to have the biggest impact. The acquisition in July 2013 of Broadsword, a Northern Territory based marine services provider, will provide further capacity to deliver services to oil & gas projects.
Initiatives in the 2014 financial year are expected to deliver a further AUD 10 million (USD 9.1 million) cost savings, and will include continued reductions to the cost base, continued simplification of back-office processes, and a move to a single national reporting structure for the core Workforce Services division.
Skilled Group provides workforce solutions across Australia and New Zealand with overseas offices in the United Kingdom, Malta, and the United Arab Emirates. These include onshore and offshore total workforce management, flexible labour solutions, and project-based workforce solutions.
In trading today, the company's share price rose +1.56% to AUD 3.25 (USD 2.96), an increase of +45.24% from a year ago. Based on its share price, the company has a current market value of AUD 758.9 million (USD 692 million).

Vision and Mission Statements
Vision statements tend to be grandiose proclamations about changing a fundamental way that business is done. It's great to be a visionary and if that is in fact your goal – proclaim away. The business world (in this case agriculture business) often benefits from persons that are willing and able to challenge the status quo. If however you are not sure that what you are doing is more self-preservation than visionary then you may wish to pass this over and wait till a better time to make your mark on history.
Mission Statement
Mission statements tend to be a little easier to do. Focus on what problem you are solving for the consumer and make this your mission. It may not seem like something as simple as setting up a roadside stand as a mission, but in fact you are offering people the opportunity to get and enjoy farm-fresh produce. This is a health conscience alternative that deserves to be worthy of your mission statement.

Review Round-up: Grease Not the Word for Critics
Editorial Staff • West End • 9 Aug 2007
The 1972 Broadway musical was immortalised by the 1978 film version, in which John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John played the high school sweethearts. The musical originally ran for six years in the West End, first at the Dominion and then at the Cambridge, returning to London for a short run back at the Dominion in 2001 and at the Victoria Palace in 2002/3. In between, it has toured the UK extensively, produced since 1993 by David Ian (a judge on Grease Is the Word) and Paul Nicholas, both of whom are also producing the upcoming Broadway production of Grease (opening 19 August), again featuring leads cast by public vote via reality TV.
The London production of Grease - which has book, music and lyrics by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey - is directed by David Gilmore and choreographed by Arlene Phillips. The new West End also features How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?'s Siobhan Dillon (as Patty Simcox), Sean Mulligan (Kenickie), Jayde Westaby (Rizzo), Lee Martin (Doody), Bennett Andrews (Sonny), Laurie Scarth (Jan), Charlie Cameron (Marty), Alana Phillips (Frenchy) and Jason Capewell (Vince / Teen Angel).
Unfortunately, while the critical response was positive for How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?'s Connie Fisher last year and Lee Mead last month, it was third time unlucky in the reality TV stakes for Danny Bayne and Susan McFadden. While some credited Bayne for his energetic dancing and McFadden for her requisite Sandy wholesomeness, first night critics deemed that neither had sufficient charisma to "hold the stage" for an evening. They weren't helped by a "too old" supporting cast, "uninspired" choreography and a generally "lacklustre" production. Several reviewers used the disappointment of Grease as an opportunity to call for an end of reality TV casting, despite the fact that How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? second runner-up Siobhan Dillon did win some warm notices for her "endearing" turn as cheerleader Patty.
Nicholas de Jongh in the Evening Standard (two stars) – "How under-sexed, how under-done and under par I found director David Gilmore's attempt to put the brilliantine back into Grease … Neither of the leads, a less than dynamic Danny Bayne as gang-leader Danny Zuko and Susan McFadden as the girl for whom he falls but cannot pick up, display the singing and acting charisma required to galvanise this almost plotless musical by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey. Gilmore's production, with neon-lit, basic sets that swing from high school to burger palace, proves no match for his 1993 production on which this is closely modelled … The outstanding cast member Jayde Westaby makes (boy-grabbing Rizzo) first hard-edged and then vulnerable in her finely delivered song, 'There Are Worse Things I Could Do' … Arlene Phillips' choreography had such sexy gusto in 1993. Now the dancing tends to be careful rather than dynamic … Bayne … looks a neat dancer but not much of a gang leader. He makes little of Zuko's awkwardness in love, even when revealing his heart in song. McFadden's Sandy reveals a shrill singing voice and her attempts to play prim make her look elderly-confused … Is it not high time producers found real stars for musicals again?"

The Excellent Features Of The 2015 Audi A8
It is sure that Audi A8 will come out with exterior updates. The headlights will be quite different from the past edition. Normally, it will be made to simply convey lighting operation that delivers with care. Buyers will be offered the option to select from the three lighting lamps. Xenon, LED and Matrix will be the three main choice of headlights that buyers will have to select from. To be candid, the Matrix light option will not be available in the United States.
This is because they are not allowed in the marketplace. In case the Audi A8 comes closer to another car from the opposite direction, there is an option for the headlight to dim. The grille of the A8 will be reduced by 1 blade. The 2015 edition will be revised at the back taillights. They are sure to be connected with elegant line made of chrome. Though, its truck capacity will not overpass 13.2 cubic feet, but will be better than the past edition.
Interior Video
The interior German car will be furbished with cutting-edge technology and new materials. It is sure that the new A8 will be powered by three different engines. This can be found in the likes of 3.0-liter TDI, 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 and 3.0-liter supercharged V6. The first option will produce 258 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. The second one is proud of giving 435 horsepower and 444 lb-ft of torque. The third one can offer 310 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque.

New start for Ben Hutchinson and Mansfield Town after Southport victory
Posted: November 12, 2012|
JUST a few days earlier, his former club Celtic were enjoying one of the greatest nights in their European history as they beat Barcelona.
Parkhead was bouncing as 55,000 fans went crazy as their side produced a heroic performance to see off such decorated players as Lionel Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and David Villa.
It is hard to believe four years earlier, Ben Hutchinson was playing in the Champions League with the Hoops, playing his part as the crowd went wild during a 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
On Saturday, he was not on the pitch against Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez and Ryan Giggs.
Instead it was Southport and in front of less than 2,000 fans.
It was a far cry from the world's biggest club football competition.
But for Hutchinson, he hopes his early close-range strike that won the game 1-0 is just the beginning of a new start for both him and Mansfield Town.
In terms of important goals, it is right up there and the fact when he left the One Call Stadium that evening he was still beaming told exactly how much it meant to him.
His crazy career has seen him go from local clubs Eastwood and then Arnold as a teenager to the Premier League with Middlesbrough, where he scored against Manchester City and into Europe with Celtic, then back down to non-league by the age of 24.
But he is far from washed up. And the same goes for Paul Cox's Stags.
On a personal level, Hutchinson has had to wait for his chance this season but by the time it came, he was craving action, desperate to get back on the pitch. He was hungry to prove himself, the past behind him and an opportunity to prove his talent again, to rebuild his career.
But while he has his own personal mission, the Stags have an even bigger one of their own in which Hutchinson is desperate to play his part.
After reaching third and missing out in the play-offs, they have stuttered badly this season despite investing in a big squad.
Cox took the big decision to trim the squad during the last fortnight, axe certain players and bring a togetherness to the side. And after a draw and much-improved performance against Nuneaton in midweek, he spoke about moving forward.
Saturday at home was always going to be the big test in front of their frustrated fans as they went into the game in 14th. But Hutchinson's second-minute strike settled the nerves and the Stags could have been a few goals ahead by the break.
In the second half, there were a few nervy scenarios but moments like captain John Dempster's double block on the edge of the box, to deny Chris Almond and then Steven Tames, as he threw himself into challenges, epitomised a new-found desire in the team.
It was a 1-0 victory, a sixth in nine home matches during a spell where they have only lost once, on the opening day to Newport. It is a fantastic record on their own patch, it is just the away form with one win on the road in the league that is killing them.
At least Cox is now able to find some consistency to his selection with no changes to the starting 11 at the weekend, just top scorer Jake Speight returning from injury to the bench in place of Colin Daniel.
And after two minutes, the Stags were in front. It all started with Lindon Meikle making a superb tackle on Shaun Whalley deep in his own half. The winger got to his feet, fed Nick Wright and he moved the ball out to the right flank for Louis Briscoe. It was the winger's turn to feed Wright down the side of the penalty area and when he crossed into the six-yard box, it fell invitingly to Hutchinson who fired home with his second touch.
It was a flowing move and set the tone in a match where the Stags mixed up their play, putting together some excellent phases of passing football.
Wright combined with Briscoe soon after before the striker saw his shot from the edge of the box saved by Tony McMillan. And on 18 minutes, Meikle broke at pace from his own half, with the Stags three-on-one, before finding Wright to his left. The striker, who opened his Stags account in the draw at Nuneaton a few days earlier, cut in from the side of the box but totally made a hash of his shot, slicing miles wide.
On 32 minutes, Clements fired in a superb cross from the right, Wright rose to head but put it wide of the far stick as Anthony Howell dived in to try to divert it beyond McMillan. And there was another opportunity for Wright before half-time as he broke clear, cut in from the left and lined up his shot only to put it too close to the goalkeeper from the edge of the box.
In the second half there was a scare as Alan Moogan floated in a free kick and former Stag Simon Grand shook off Exodus Geohaghon. But, in front of the defender, he headed the wrong side of the post from seven yards out.
Dempster got in his two vital blocks as Mansfield ensured Southport did not get one meaningful shot on target throughout 90 minutes.
And late on, Meikle combined with Hutchinson, who slipped him down the left of the box in a quick move but after he laid the ball into the path of the onrushing Howell, the midfielder could not get it out of his feet to get his shot away.
They failed to build on the lead but have now conceded just once in their last three matches, as a new-found resolve seems to have been discovered by the Stags.
It was not Champions League but for Hutchinson and Mansfield, it felt like a new start.
A beginning that, if built on correctly, can unlock countless opportunities in the future for both the forward and the club.

Rothco Wins NNI Press Ad of the Month
Rothco Social has won the NNI Press Ad of the Month for July. The agency picked up the award for a campaign it did for the ISPCA.
The press ad asked newspaper readers to "Cut the Cruelty" by spaying strays. The ad illustrates how, by severing the family line of a feral cat, readers can prevent many more generations of strays going hungry and homeless.
The team at Rothco Social included Sam Doyle (copywriter), Clayton Homer (art director), Damien Hanley (creative director) and Roisin Field (account manager/media planner).
This month's competition was judged by Dylan Cotter of Irish International and Cormac O'Shea of Clear Blue Water. In his comments about the winning ad Cotter said: "A simple thought executed in a disciplined and eye-catching way."

The Southeastern Conference and Big 12 Conference have sent teams to the last 10 Independence Bowls with one notable exception -- the SEC was unable to send a team in 2004.
But in 2008, 10 years after the first Big 12-SEC I-Bowl matchup in 1998, neither conference will be represented. Both conferences had two teams in the Bowl Championship Series and were unable to fill all of their respective bowl slots.
Thus, this 10-year anniversary will be celebrated without teams from those conferences. Louisiana Tech of the Western Athletic Conference and Northern Illinois of the Mid-American ...

Use this field to narrow your chandelier selection by the maximum price.
Narrowing by Finish
Because there are so many unique finishes offered by the manufacturers we carry, we have grouped them into common tones to more easily allow you to find the finish you're looking for.
Compact Fluorescent (CFL)
CFL bulbs are more and more frequently becoming the norm in the American household. With their long life span and bright shades CFL's are always a good option if you want a fixture that performs and saves you money every year.
Candelabra bulbs are more common in chandeliers than they are in any other lighting. Chandeliers with candelabra bulbs may or may not include shades but everyone can be accented with shades that are designed to be clipped to the bulbs themselves.
Halogen bulbs are known for their brightness and long life spans. Although these bulbs get quite hot they are a good solution if you are looking for ample amounts of light.
Incandescent or Fluorescent
We have combined all the fixtures that can use either a CFL or a standard incandescent bulb into one simple location so you can choose whether you would like a more traditional setup or an energy saving CFL configuration.
Medium Base Bulbs
Medium Base also known as A type and Standard Base is the most common base among chandeliers.
Candelabra Base Bulbs
Candelabra base bulbs or torpedo bulb types are smaller bulbs with lower output usually used on chandeliers with a high number of bulbs.
Wedge Base Bulbs
Wedge base fixtures are generally for use with halogen or xenon bulbs. You will usually find these on contemporary fixtures with smaller shades.
Bi-Pin Bulb Base
Bi-Pin bulbs can range from MR-16 to GU-10 base bulbs. These bulb bases usually offer a high light output with minimal wattage use.
If you would like to view one specific manufacturer, please select one from the list below.

Use this section to select the number of bulbs that you prefer your fixture to have. Once you select a given range you will be able to narrow it down further to a specific number of bulbs.
For example, if you are shopping for a 2 light fixture you will want to select "0-3 Lights", and then "2 Bulbs" in the "Bulb Count" section on the next screen.
Chandelier Height
The height of the chandelier is determined by the distance of the lowest point of the fixture to the point at which the chain connects to the fixture.
Chandelier Width
The width of the bathroom fixture is determined by the distance from the furthest reaching outside left point to the furthest reaching outside right point.
Bell Shades
Bell shades typically will be narrow where they attach to the fixture tapering to a wider opening for the bulb.
Cylinder Shades
Cylinder shades are round straight shades that predominantly project light in one direction.
Rectangular Shades
Rectangular or square shades are classically associated with contemporary, art deco and asian styling.
Round Shades
Round and spherical shades are less common in American homes but provide a very distinct look that accent vessel sinks quite well.
Ambient Lighting
Ambient Light is designed to splay light in all directions and is usually good for close to ceiling applications.
Down Lighting
Down Lighting directs light downwards by using open bottom shades to minimize the amount of light that is projected upwards towards the ceiling.
Up / Down Lighting
Up / Down Lighting chandeliers generally will have bulbs on the arms and either a bowl or another light source in the center of the fixture. These chandeliers are good for installation in open areas where light is helpful in both directions such as near a staircase.
Up Lighting
Up Lighting is a common type of chandelier and although the light is being directed upwards will still provide ample illumination for many applications. Some manufacturers offer chandeliers in both up lighting and down lighting styles.

Vegetable Stew
Estofado de Verduras
Bottled mixed vegetables make life easier when preparing vegetable stews or a common dish in Spain that is known as Russian salad. This is made by adding a mayonnaise to diced, cooked vegetables. The salad is served cold with green or black olives and strips of piquillo peppers.
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 min.[PT15M]
Cook Time: 20 min.[PT20M]
2 large jars of mixed vegetables
3.5 oz onions
5.5 oz serrano ham
2 tbsp flour
1 vegetable stock cube
Salt and sweet pimentón
2 hard-boiled eggs
Drain the mixed vegetables. In a deep frying pan, heat the oil and add the very finely-chopped onion. When it has turned golden brown, add the diced ham and the flour. Fry lightly then add the vegetables together with a little water in which the stock cube has first been dissolved. Season with salt and sweet pimentón and leave to cook gently. Serve decorated with the hard-boiled eggs in slices or quarters.

A lot of pain tolerance comes from experience as a runner. After a while you learn to accept pain as weakness leaving the body and becoming stronger both mentally and physically. When I'm hurting, I think about my form and my breathing so I can run more efficiently and ease some of the pain. Other than that it's just pure guts.

We've partnered with Makita for the rest of February and the month of March to offer some incredible incentives on their line of outdoor power equipment. Thanks to a special deal we've put together with Makita we're offering an additional "instant" manufacturer rebate of $20-$30 off every Makita chainsaw, trimmer and blower that we sell. The rebates are instant and marked off our already low everyday prices. There's no forms to fill out or send in, just drop the product into your cart or give us a call toll-free at 1-800-322-4539. You'll want to hurry though, because these rebate prices are limited to the stock we have on hand. These prices really are incredible. For example, you can get the 5-star rated, 64cc DCS6401 for only $469.95! You'll be hard pressed to find a price this low on a new 6401 anywhere else. The specials aren't limited to chainsaws, though. You'll save on their trimmers, brushcutters and blowers, too. Best of all, aside from chainsaws, all of Makita's outdoor power equipment is 4-cycle - so there's no mixing oil and the machines are quite a bit quieter than their 2-cycle counterparts. Gear up for Spring and save some big bucks in the process.
Until next time - good cutting,Dotcompost

Katie Holmes may have married the Top Gun star – who's poster she had on her wall when she was younger – but her first real-life love was from the Dawson's Creek.
Last week, Jackson, 35, said he had received a call from his former Dawson's Creek costar and former girlfriends, Holmes, 33, after she divorced Tom Cruise, 50, but now that information comes as a no-brainer.
"Like any old friend, it was like, 'Oh, hi how are ya? What's going on?'; 'I had a kid,'" the Fringe star said of his phone conversation with Homes. "It was very nice, actually."
Even though Jackson was been in a five-year relationship with Diane Kruger, back in their days on the CW show, the former couple was very serious about one another.
For the September 1998 Rolling Stone cover story ("Katie Holmes: The Sweetheart of Dawson's Creek"), the then-fame-rising 19-year-old actress revealed about her ups and downs of her love life.
"I had really good luck this past year and I had a really wonderful, amazing experience," Holmes says. But when asked bluntly whether that "amazing experience" was with her co-star Jackson, Holmes owns up to it.
"I'm just going to say that I met somebody last year, I fell in love, I had my first love, and it was something so incredible and indescribable," Holmes explains. "I feel so fortunate because he's now one of my best friends. It's weird, it's almost like a Dawson-and-Joey type thing now."
Suri's newly single mom then goes on to speak of her praise of Jackson as Holmes says, "I respect him as a friend and as a professional."

John12v9-26:- Christ Jesus Triumphant entry into Jerusalem. People honest to God greeted Him into Jerusalem where He was most hated. The Triumphal Entry
12 The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!" Yahweh was Lord whilst God is our Father. Lords have slave disciples whilst Father has working Sons that are allowed to sit at the Table. 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written, 15 "Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your Royal King is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!" 16 His Brethren Friends and not the slave disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. 17 The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. 18 The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign. They were clean-hearted like the Nicodemus but frightened of the Temple Hireling High Priest no more. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after him."
Some Greeks Seek Jesus
20 Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks. 21 So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus." 22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat, son of Man or people with tribal identities are wheat grains, falls into the earth and dies, kill his tribal ego, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. That is in Christ Jesus, we need to realise that it is not we who took births in different tribal families but our Father God gave us the birth in different families and countries. So, we must first become a Great spiritual Family and exercise Agape love in which you do not hate others for their colours or the origin of countries. 25 Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must join and not follow me; and where I am, there will my servant or serving Virgin Brides, be also. If anyone serves me by Eating my Flesh and Drinking the Blood of Christ, the Father will honor him.
In Jesus, we have been moved from the brick-built Synagogues made by human hands for the Rabbi, a Priest of Moses or teacher of the moral laws, to the Temple of God made by Nature where the Christ, our Royal Priest greater than John, the Baptist, Prophet Elijah, called Innerman is sitting in your heart that leads your life to Salvation through Preaching Gospel. Thus, with Christ in our hearts, we are solitary capable of entering into the Vineyard of our Father where the True Vine Christ Jesus is Planted by our Father. This Vineyard has a Narrow Gate for the solitary and through grace you find this Gate. In Jesus, we have Fellowship of Royal Priests and those who employ Hireling Dog-Collared Priests in Moses for Prayer and fasting, the old rituals in Moses are Anti-Christs annulling the Sacrifice of Jesus as the Lamb of God. Technical help needed.

Marvin Neal died at 51 in 2008 and was found in his home, his dogs asleep beside him.
Lewis LeMaster died in 2010 at 86 of heart disease at Greenville Memorial Hospital.
Bobby Gray was 71 when he died at home in 2001.
No one received their remains, and so, their bodies were cremated and stored in a small room in the morgue at Greenville Memorial Hospital.
Soon, though, they will be buried, thanks to Steve Goulet, the head of the ceremonial detachment at Fort Gordon in Augusta, Ga.
Goulet was on a motorcycle ride with American Legion Legacy through Greenville when he saw a story in The Greenville News last month about the 77 people who died alone in Greenville County and whose remains were in storage.
I thought, oh man, thats just what I need, he said. Thats the lead I need.
He checked the 77 names the Coroners Office had and found Neal, LeMaster and Gray had all served in the military.
A law passed last year by the South Carolina General Assembly gives veterans organizations the right to receive the unclaimed remains of veterans from funeral homes and coroners offices and to bury them in a national cemetery.
South Carolina has three: Beaufort, Florence and Fort Jackson in Columbia. Neal, LeMaster and Gray, along with three other veterans whose remains were in storage in Richland County, will be buried on June 6 at Fort Jackson with full military honors.
They served their country. They came home. They were different, said Larry Truax, who spearheaded the bill.
They deserve the same honor he will have, he said.
Its an honor to be buried with your brothers and sisters who served, Truax said.
Truax was drafted and served in the U.S. Army from 1966 until 1967, the years when President Lyndon Johnson stepped up Americas involvement in Vietnam. Truax served in France and Germany.
You go where they send you, he said.
His service and that of others remained important to him through the decades he worked in construction in upstate New York. He became involved in the Missing in America Project not long after it started in 2007. The project began after an Idaho veterans group buried the cremated remains of 16 veterans in 2006.
Since then, the nationwide effort has found remains of more than 16,000 veterans, including 1,000 who died in an Oregon state hospital from the 1890s to 1971.
Truax was one of several people in New York State who pushed for a law allowing veterans groups to accept remains from funeral homes and coroners. When he and his wife retired to Carolina Forest near Myrtle Beach in 2010, he launched the effort for such a law here.
The biggest problem before the law was passed was liability, Truax said. Could funeral homes be sued for turning over remains to someone other than family? The law lifts that possibility, he said.
Since the law was passed, two funerals for unclaimed veterans have taken place in South Carolina. The first was last July for Sgt. John Reiser, who served in the U.S. Army from 1969 until 1981. He died in 2009 in Conway, Truax said. Another was held in March in Columbia for a Gaffney veteran. Truax has one planned for four veterans in Florence on June 13.
Greenville County began cremating the remains of indigent people in 2001 when Coroner Parks Evans realized only six graves remained at ONeal Cemetery in northern Greenville County. The poor, the unidentified, those without families were buried there beginning in 1960.
Evans said he wanted to reserve the few spaces left for people his office couldnt identify so he asked Greenville County Council to pass an ordinance allowing for the cremations. It is uncommon for someone to remain unidentified, but not so much for someone to have no place to go after death.
In the 20 years hes been coroner, Evans said two people have remained unnamed. Both are buried at ONeal.
For those who have been cremated, some families simply cant be found. But increasingly, families have declined to take the remains, Evans said. The reasons are varied. No money for a funeral. No contact in recent years. Disputes that split families. Some just dont want to pay, Evans said.
Gray was the second person whose remains were cremated, Deputy Coroner Jeff Fowler said.
He said that no one in the Coroners Office was aware of the law that would allow them to turn over the remains of veterans until Goulet contacted them.
Goulet served 29 years, eight months and 12 days in the U.S. Army. He retired before the traditional 30 years to take the job at Fort Gordon arranging military honors at funerals.
I love it, he said.
For him, laying to rest unclaimed remains of veterans takes on a special resonance.
I really do understand the importance of recognizing their service, he said.
On June 6, members of the American Legion Riders of South Carolina, the Patriot Guard and representatives of the Coroners Office will gather at 11 a.m. at County Square.
The procession will stop at American Legion Post 193 in Chapin to pick up the Richland County remains, then proceed to Fort Jackson National Cemetery.
The public is invited to attend.
Not much is known about the three Greenville County veterans who will be buried on that day. Their service was verified through the National Archives in St. Louis, which maintains all military personnel records.
Seaman First Class LeMaster served in the Navy, from Oct. 7, 1943 until April 27, 1946. A World War II era veteran, he likely served stateside, Goulet said.
Private Gray served in the Army from Sept. 7, 1950 until May 17, 1955. The Korean War era. He died of natural causes in his home off Easley Bridge Road.
Corporal Neal, a Marine, served from Aug. 21, 1976 until Feb. 3, 1980. His neighbors said he had stopped walking his dog two weeks before his body was found in his home on Old Bleachery Road.
No family could be located for any of them, Fowler said, except for LeMaster whose only survivor had dementia.
Well be the family for these folks, said Goulet.

Share the Debate About the Future of Canadian Copyright Laws
Mia Garlick, September 30th, 2005
To coincide with Canada's new round of digital copyright reform in the form of Bill C-60, a new book has been released – 'In the Public Interest: The Future of Canadian Copyright Law' – online under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 2.0 Canada license and in a physical format for CA$50. Bill C-60 has been proposed to implement the WIPO Copyright Treaty and WIPO Performers & Phonograms Treaty, which notably require the introduction of anticircumvention measures and rights management information protections, and the clarification of the rights of ISPS – all important issues for the digital world.
Edited by Michael Geist, the book contains 19 peer reviewed essays, each by a different expert and each analyzing a different issue addressed by the Bill. It will certainly serve as an interesting series of reflections at this stage of debates surrounding copyright and online issues.
It is a great step that a major Canadian publisher is willing set a precedent for its fellow publishers and try Creative Commons licensing.
Of course, the fact that the authors have agreed to donate the royalties to Creative Commons in no way lessens our support for your right to copy and redistribute under the Creative Commons license….
One Response to "Share the Debate About the Future of Canadian Copyright Laws"
Thats really cool of them to donate the profits of the book to you all. I read the book and found it very interesting because alot of stuff that is in it can be applied to other coutnries as well not just Canada.Overall Giest did a great job in pointing out some of the problems Canada is facing in the digital age.

An evening dress from around 1861 in black moiré silk, black jet and black lace
A widow is a dangerous thing–or so the Victorians thought–and a new exhibition of historic mourning clothes shows just how publicly women were expected to mourn. Death Becomes Her: A Century of Mourning Attire, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, explores the reasons why women in particular had such strict social conditions placed on their grief, as well as exhibiting the actual garments they wore.

Bill Cunningham is a beloved icon of New York. With little more than a bicycle and his camera, he's been photographing fashion for the New York Times for over 35 years, taking pictures of every-day people, and discovering the "fashion show on the street."
His love of fashion is a widely known obsession. At a young age, his family was already aware of his focus: "I think they were worried I was becoming too interested in women's dresses… I could never concentrate on Sunday church services because I'd be concentrating on women's hats." (more…)

Earlier this month, a new biopic about fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent was released in France. Yves Saint Laurent focuses on the relationship (both personal and professional) between Saint Laurent and his long-time partner Pierre Bergé. Bergé himself was involved in some of the filming and loaned 77 of the vintage costumes from the Fondation Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent.
Using locations from the fantastic book The Beautiful Fall by Alicia Drake, we're sharing the haunts of Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld during the decadent era of Paris in the 1960s and 1970s, as both designers were jockeying to get their careers started. The book is a must-read for lovers of Paris, fashion or both.

Bloomingdale's, together with the NFL and The Council of Fashion Designers of America is presenting "Fashion Touchdown," a collection of 48 haute couture football helmets designed by fashion designers and brands. The helmets are also on auction to benefit the NFL Foundation.

Lincoln began life as a Roman fortress town, after the conquering of Lincolnshire in 48 AD.
The derivation of the word Lincoln comes from the word lindo meaning pool in the Celtic language and so the Romans called the new town Lindum Colonia. (After the Romans left the name Lindum was corrupted to Lindon then finally to Lincoln.)
The White Hart Hotel is located right in the centre of the old part of Lincoln in what is known as the Cathedral Quarter. Our building is situated between the 900 year old Norman Castle, built in 1068 by William the Conqueror, and Lincolns Medieval Cathedral, which dates back to 1072.

"Unrestrained yet elegant."
"A powerful meditation on the all-consuming nature of grief."
"An intimate look into the evanescence of memory."
Intrigued yet? The quotes above all come from BookPage's coverage of Rosecrans Baldwin's debut novel You Lost Me There (on sale today), about a man whose wife dies and leaves behind recorded memories of their relationship—which are drastically different from his own recollections.
BookPage contributor Stephenie Harrison interviewed Baldwin about his book and asked about any upcoming projects. He answered:
I'm currently working on two new books, a nonfiction book about Paris and a novel about Tijuana. Hopefully, they won't take decades, but you never know. [You Lost Me There took five years to complete.]
And now we know what's up next for Baldwin; last week, Publisher's Marketplace posted that book #2 will be titled Paris I Love You, But You're Bringing Me Down, "about a young American couple's adventures of living and working in 21st-century Paris—where the Great French Dream is calcifying, the frozen food is superb, and despairing lovers duel with text messages." In March of 2008, Baldwin published an essay by the same name in The Morning News (home of the Tournament of Books), where he is a Founding Editor. While Riverhead published Baldwin's debut, this book went to FSG.
Don't miss our review of You Lost Me There—along with six other standout debut novels—in the August 2010 issue of BookPage. And if you're interested in the personal life of Baldwin, including his pre-publication anxiety and appreciation for tequila, check out this funny essay in online magazine The Millions: "Writing Is My Peppermint-Flavored Heroin."

Theatre Review by Matthew Murray - December 3, 2008
Liza's at the Palace.... Starring Liza Minnelli. Directed and choreographed by Ron Lewis. Featuring Johnny Rodgers, Cortés Alexander, Jim Caruso, Tiger Martina. Scenic design by Ray Klausen. Lighting design by Matt Berman. Sound design by Matt Kraus. Technical Supervisor Fred Gallo. Musical Producer Phil Ramone. Vocal Arrangements by Kay Thompson & Billy Stritch. Music Supervisor Billy Stritch. Conductor/Drummer Michael Berkowitz. Additional material by David Zippel.
Amazingly, no - and in a way, it's too bad. If this entertainment extravaganza, called Liza's at the Palace...., were being performed by someone on her ascent, there would be less reason to fear for the future of theatrical charisma. This is the real deal, the real legend, the real old-school way of doing things, where performers forge intimate bonds in the biggest and brashest of settings. So what if your eyes and ears sometimes suggest that this icon is past her prime - when she can control a crowd by twirling a fingernail or fluttering an eyelid, sustain a note with throbbing passion, and squeeze feelings dry, who cares?
Directed and choreographed with gold-lamé slickness by Ron Lewis, this show is perhaps the ultimate tribute to ultimate tributes - so elaborate and unapologetic in framing its subject that it borders on shameless. What is never in sight, however, is dishonesty. Everything is carefully calculated, whether to arouse sympathy or dampen memories of Minnelli's addictive and injurious past or her last Palace show (Minnelli on Minnelli, in 1999). Yet the show never lets you catch your breath long enough to feel manipulated.
"Nobody has the right to be the judge of what is right for me," she growls during "What Makes a Man?", Charles Aznavour's paean to secure self-identity. It's her theme statement here, the dramatic anchor for the three vivid - and very different - characters she embodies: Liza Minnelli, her godmother (and vocal goddess) Kay Thompson, and a humble headliner alone in the crowd with her doting public. Each personality is grossly overplayed, glitteringly unconvincing, and impossibly irreplaceable.
This is especially true when she's playing herself in the first act, delving into her innate romanticism with the liquid-smoky "I Would Never Leave You" (written by her pianist and vocal arranger Billy Stritch, with Johnny Rodgers and Brian Lane Green), but mocking it with Jule Styne, Betty Comden, and Adolph Green's "If You Hadn't, But You Did," becoming a woman who literally murders the man who done her wrong. A "Palace Medley" ties Minnelli to a decades-old tradition of top-tier talent, the likes of which sang "Shine on Harvest Moon," "Some of These Days" (for which her voice takes on an unearthly earthiness), and "My Man."
But it's her iconic roles from John Kander and Fred Ebb musicals - Chicago's Roxie Hart and Cabaret's Sally Bowles - that give the act its center. You'll notice a rockiness in Minnelli's vocals now that implies more daring, danger, and erosion than used to be the case. But 35 additional years have given an added poignancy to her search for love ("Maybe This Time"), self-reliance ("I Am My Own Best Friend"), or day-to-day fulfillment ("Cabaret"). When she transparently changes that song's lyrical climax to "When I go, I'm not going like Elsie," you utterly believe her as no longer needing to hide behind herself.
So when Minnelli "becomes" her godmother Thompson post-intermission, the transformation doesn't feel false. She slips into Thompson's perpetual-motion performance style easily, her feet and constitution more than matching the grueling demands of nonstop sequences from Thompson's renowned club act with the Williams Brothers (played with synchronized panache by Rodgers, Cortés Alexander, Jim Caruso, and Tiger Martina). During "Jubilee Time" and "I Love a Violin" (Thompson), "Basin Street Blues" (Spencer Williams and Thompson), and "Clap Yo' Hands" (George and Ira Gershwin), you're most aware of Minnelli's bottomless fuel reserves. The numbers are excitingly exhausting to watch, but Minnelli doesn't just survive them, she triumphs over them - usually somewhat winded, but invariably in complete command of her body and the stage.
Those qualities are most important for her third and final portrayal: the star at the mercy of both herself and the audience. She's competing with the history she's created and that they love, so how can she not give them a little of what they want most? Minnelli's signature spots "And the World Goes 'Round" and the theme from "New York, New York" (both Kander and Ebb again) may be shopworn, and verging on cliché, but she owns them and dispenses them in a way that precludes disappointment. If they're more mannered now than once they were, they score for that simplest and most captivating of reasons: The singer demands it.
Being in the presence of anyone like this is a rarity in today's theatre, but there's nothing like it - and there's nothing like Minnelli. Whatever she's singing and whoever she's playing - whether the sophisticated and adult Thompson, or the lovestruck girl of "He's Funny That Way" (Neil Moret/Richard Whiting) who reclines in a chair with her legs delicately crossed - she's no mere force of nature, she's a force of the universe. Given what she does in Liza's at the Palace...., one cannot imagine 2008 going out with a bigger or more heavenly bang.

Connellsville woman arrested for shoplifting
A Connellsville woman was placed in the Westmoreland County Prison for allegedly shoplifting from a Scottdale store and being in possession of drugs.
Cortney Baker, 22, of 110 Miles Road was charged with three counts each of retail theft and criminal conspiracy, two counts of use/possession of drug paraphernalia and one count of driving without a license at District Judge Charles Moore's office.
At 1 p.m. Nov. 20, an owner of Collections by Marty contacted the Scottdale Police Department about two women in his store whom he suspected of stealing items. He told police that he was not able to prove the allegations.
Baker was one of the women. The other was Nichole Marie Snyder, 20, of 1604 Race St., Scottdale, who had previously been charged and placed in the county prison.
The descriptions of the two women matched those of two who had been at Plato's Closet, a consignment shop in Greensburg, and it was later confirmed that they were selling the stolen items in the consignment shop.
When apprehended, police asked to search Baker's purse. She pulled out two hypodermic needles, and police discovered heroin. Baker told police that she is addicted to heroin.
Baker and Snyder stole $889 worth of merchandise from Collections by Marty, police said.
A preliminary hearing for Baker has been scheduled for 9 a.m. Jan. 16 at Moore's office.
She was lodged in prison on $5,000 bail.
