Fires blaze along with bright string lights. They hang on the buildings while things burn in the middle of the street. Everybody hangs around them. Even Storm is there. She sits by Zoie, Ryker, Zoie's boyfriend and Jaiden. The only person who is missing is Kade. Storm sits there scanning the area frequently while everybody else starts to sing "We are the Champions" by Queen even though they are all horrible. They laugh and sing and drink all at the same time. It's one giant celebration. Eventually, Storm turns around to face Zoie while she sits there laughing in her love's arms.
Where is Kade?
He never comes to these things. Actually, he prefers to
stay away from us at all times.
I don't know. He's weird.
It's the truth. There's something about him…
He moved people with his mind like a superhero.
Normally he hangs out in the public library if you
want to find him.
We need to talk.
Storm stands up and leaves them. Their singing rings on in the background as she wanders away into the darkness of the city. Soon it's silent. She looks around at the crumbling city. Every now and then something scurries across the ground and she jumps. Just rat. Or a snake. Maybe even a giant cockroach. Soon music sweeps to life In her ears as she continues to walk around. (The Royal We by the Silversun Pickups starts to play. This is Storm's other theme.)
We are ready for the siege
We are armed up to the teeth
We care for how you live and breathe
Release whats broken underneath
How many times do you wanna die?
Something moves in the darkness and Storm comes to a stop looking into a dark alley. Although everything is dark here. Little lights line the path but they do not help out much. Nothing around her is seen. Although a few blocks away she spots a shining light. Whatever is moving in the darkness is bigger than everything else. Gulping she moves a little faster picking up her pace as she continues towards the light.
The closer she comes the louder the noise becomes until suddenly something flies out of the darkness throwing her into one of the other buildings. It is Adam. He slams her back into the wall while gripping her throat as he glares at her.
You ruined everything!
What are you talking about?
You and Kade shouldn't have been there!
He throws her across the street and when she gets the chance she starts to run away trying to escape. But Adam is faster than her. A lot faster. The light is close. It's in the library but she is unable to make it. Adam grabs onto the back of her shirt jerking her backwards shoving her face first into the ground. His other hand shoots out and a blade falls out of his sleeve.
I am going to kill you!
Adam flies backwards into the air. Kade steps out holding onto a lantern. He holds onto it while staring at Adam. Such focus. A small scream escapes Adam's mouth before he drops to the ground and Kade continues to walk forward.
Leave her alone!
He kicks Adam in the chest knocking him over again before punching him while he is down. His nose breaks and blood gushes out onto the ground. Then Kade takes Storm by the hand leading her away towards the library while Adam lies on the ground. He remains there. They start up a small white stone staircase that mocks marble. Kade opens the door allowing Storm to walk inside first. She enters an old library that has lots of dust. Lanterns hang everywhere but they are not lit with flames instead, they have flickering electrical lights.
What are you doing?
Who are you?
Who are you?
I bet it's not nearly as interesting.
How come you didn't know about…?
My mom never explained things to me. I wasn't
even allowed to watch the stars at night.
If I tell you, will you tell me who you are?
No because my secret is a lot better.
You're obnoxious.
So are you.
Then why did you save me?
Kade stands there in silence before he starts to walk away into a large book room. Storms follows him into the next room watching as he climbs up onto a wooden ladder that slides around the room. He pushes himself away from where it originally stood. He launches himself around to another section until Storm runs over stopping him with her foot while she remains on the ground looking up at him.
Why did you save me?
Because some days, I'm the good guy.
I hate you! You're so mysterious!
I thought women digged that.
You idiot.
What are you doing here? Why aren't you
with everybody else?
Storm shrugs and suddenly becomes quiet as she looks off at nothing.
I don't like getting attached to people.
I'm always having to leave to follow Roulette.
What's her story?
She's my sister.
Adam is my brother.
Slowly, he climbs down the ladder and stands there gazing at her while smiling. In his hand is a book. It's thick and newer than the other ones. Kade hands it to her and she takes it from him but never looks at the cover.
This will help you make your decision.
What are you talking about?
I want you to come with me. I'll help teach you
how to fight and so much more. Your help is
Where are we going?
We're leaving this planet.
The dusty book cover is hard to make out at first until she brushes the dust off. It's from years and years ago. In golden letters it says: Adapting to a Whole New World: Guide to an Expanding Universe
Years and years ago we left Earth or as many people
call it now, Gaia when they realized there was more
land for the taking. People were living too close to
each other. Over population was becoming a problem
and the destruction of the human race seemed imminent.
Ok. So I exaggerated in a few places but it sounded
super cool.
My dad used to be in the air force. He was positioned or
stationed…um I have no idea how to phrase it but anyhow,
he was located in the Space Fleet. My mom never liked to
talk about everything that was going on in the world. You
could say that she really sheltered me.
What happened?
What makes you think something happened?
Your mom was afraid of you knowing something.
They got divorced. It was bad.
You're lying to me.
No I'm not.
You're lying about lying.
Look I just don't want to talk about it. Besides
you shouldn't be talking Mr. Kade-Isn't-My-
She starts to back away from him gripping the book under her arm while Kade stares at her.
I bet my reasons are better than yours.
Savannah, there's one thing that you need to be
aware of about the universe.
There's a war going on. I don't know how to
explain it but basically when we leave Gaia
be aware that not everywhere is safe. It's a
different world like back when countries still
fought on Gaia. The moons and other galaxies
are in control of others and they are unfriendly.
I sort of knew about all of that. My dad fought in
that war.
He's fighting in that world. Sorry but it's still
going on.
Storm stares at him for a split second before turning around. She starts to violently tremble as she rushes out of there. Not once does Kade go after her but she runs out of the library and falls onto the stairs where she starts to sob.
Savannah runs across the yard towards Chandra as a school bus drives away. She throws her arms around her mom for a few seconds before pulling away and starts to cry. Alarmed. Her mom tries to comfort her by running a hand across her back.
Savannah, what's wrong? My daughter. My darling.
People make fun of me because I don't have a dad.
Just tell them that we got divorced.
But that's not what really…
Tell them that.
I miss him.
Chandra just hugs here and now the two are crying as they both think about Tolen.
Storm sits there. Tears no longer run down her cheeks as she blankly stares off into space biting her lower lip. Nothing moves at first. All is dark. Suddenly, a light falls upon her from behind and she slowly stands up. It is as if an angel is descending from heaven. Gradually, she turns around to face Kade.
What are you still doing here?
I came back.
Savannah, I can read you like a book. You're
lying to me. What are you still doing here?
My dad died. I don't really know how. But
everybody tells me about how he stayed on his
spaceship when they were under attack. He saved
my mom, stayed on and the ship was blown up. I
have lived my whole life being told that I would
never be anything like him. He was extraordinary,
a hero and what do I do? I steal cars. All I want is
to be like him. To be a hero someday. And I don't
know how to do that. Some reason…some reason
I think coming with you might help.
I want to come with you Kade.
They just stand there staring at each other. The lantern that Kade is holding slips from his hands and he throws his arms around Storm. She starts to sob and buries her face against his shoulder. This is the moment where we see the old Savannah not Storm. She is able to show all of her emotions while she clings to Kade sobbing lost in thought of her father. The one she never met and never will.

Rosco Fuji's review on 6/12/2009
read the movie review
Overall opinion: This is a great DVD. Ive never heard of Swank Digital at all, but Id be curious to check out some of their other offerings. Theyve gone all out on this release. Most of the girls are hot Asian chicks that weve never heard of before as Swank is based in Europe. The sex is well shot on each of the chapter selections you can jump right to the sequence you want as they offer at least 6 different points of entry for each scene. They break up the flow of the scenes nicely by alternating the multi-performer scenes with the non group scenes. We go from having 4 guys on 1 girl to start things off into the only 1 on 1 B/G scene next and which goes straight to anal. After that we have a girl/girl foot worshiping toe sucking scene that is rather short, but thats okay, its almost like the commercial break after the opening battle scene in Saving Private Ryan. Kind of lets you catch your breath for the next 2 scenes that are both 3-ways with 2 girls and a guy.
Matt47's review on 4/14/2009
read the movie review
I almost always find something winning about releases from Swank, often due to their casting of gorgeous European women and healthy amounts of anal action. There are times, though, when the title and tagline promise a bit more than what is actually delivered. This particular video promises Asian "hellcats taking pole in every hole", which is mostly true except for two of the five scene, one of which includes no men and only foot action and the other includes no Asian women, only Asian outfits

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- When thieves ignored her dog and alarm system to steal from her home a second time, Jane Mitchell-Hale said, "Enough." She packs a Taurus .38- caliber handgun.
She was one of more than 85 people who turned up at the 9 a.m. second annual Albany State University "Free Second Amendment Workshop" Saturday in the school's academic auditorium off Radium Springs Road.
The auditorium's crowd had as many women as men interested in their gun rights.
"I have a right to bear arms as a private citizen," Mitchell-Hale, of Albany, said. "I came here to learn how to have a gun the right way. To be a responsible gun owner. I learned a lot."
The workshop featured Probate Judge Nancy Stephenson, whose office issues gun licenses, District Attorney Gregory Edwards, of the Dougherty Judicial Circuit and law enforcement officials such as university police Chief Roberson Brown Jr.
"All of you are law abiding citizens. The law allows you to be armed," Brown said. "I think every one of you should be armed. But with that comes a responsibility."
That responsibility includes the use of deadly force when one's life or the life of another is threatened, Edwards said. The law does not allow the use of deadly force to protect property.
If someone breaks into a car, he can't be shot for the crime, Edwards said. Someone running away from the scene cannot be shot either, he added.
"There is a general rule on the use of deadly force," Edwards said. "It can be used to defend yourself and others against deadly force. You can not use deadly force when you are not threatened with deadly force."
That opened the floor to questions about how a resident can protect oneself when a burglar is breaking into the home.
There is a situation Edwards called "tumultuous" entering. It the intruder enters with enough of a tumult that it places the resident in fear for his life, the use of deadly force would probably be sanctioned, he said.
There would be a case by case evaluation of the shooting, Edwards said. There would be levels of judgment by the police, the prosecutor's office and perhaps a grand jury and eventually a court jury, he added.
Adding to his presentation Edwards covered topics such as when it is not permitted to carry a gun, even with a license. Typical non-permitted places are public gatherings such as a sporting event, government buildings and bars where the majority of business is on-premise drinking.
Under Georgia law no license is needed to keep a gun at home, in a business owned by the gun holder or in the gun owner's vehicle, Stephenson said.
Felons, people with a history of mental illness and others such as some people with a misdemeanor record are prohibited from obtaining a license, Stephenson said.
There is some common sense as to who should not carry a gun, Stephenson said. Anyone with a short temper in traffic shouldn't carry a gun, she added.
"There are also people who have no business carrying a gun," Stephenson said. "We try to screen for mental health and alcoholism in a background check."
There is only one license, it covers carrying a gun openly or concealed. Some states have two different permits. Georgia does not require any education in gun handling, safety or practice in obtaining a gun license.
The last part of the 3 1/2 hour workshop was spent on the basics of how a gun operates safety issues and responsibility.
Police Investigator Clayton Bryant of the Albany-Dougherty Drug Unit and police Cpl. Daniel Zok, of the Albany police Department showcased how to operate, safely handle and lock guns.
Officials placed and emphasis on safety throughout the workshop.
University police Capt. Constance Johnson gave thoughts on protecting children from guns and recommended the Web site kidsandguns.org for more information.
Offering more information, officials went over "do's and don'ts" about how to behave while having a gun in the vehicle when stopped by police. All in all it is better in the great majority of situations to call the police before reaching for a gun, Brown said.
"Once you pull that trigger," Brown said, "there is no calling that bullet back. You kill someone it will change you forever."
In order to better serve the community with information on guns, the law and how police operate, Brown said his department is planning shorter version of the12-week Albany Citizens Police Academy. It will be open to the public just as the workshop was.
"I thought this (workshop) was informative and good," said Louise Primrose, of Albany, afterwards. "I went to the Albany Citizen's Police Academy. It went in depth, but this workshop was good. I would
recommend people go to both."

Men In Wait
Waiting in airports is something we all do. There's no avoiding it. These days, everyone has headphones on, so it makes it easier for me to draw people. They're all pretty much out of it. I could be waving a gun around and no one would notice. The guy on the right side with the good hair is Lutz. We work together. The man has serious skills. I must be the only person who walks the face of the earth without headphones.

Hey guys!
My name is Janis, and am 15 years old. I currently live in the 'burbs of Georgia, which isn't THAT exciting. I love anything to do with a book and while some girls get thrills from new shoes, I get mine from getting the new Sarah Dessen or Nicholas Sparks book. I try not to judge people on first impressions, and I try to laugh at people's jokes(even if they aren't that funny). I love the feeling of laughing, poloroid photography, and the smell of fresh air. I mostly get inspiration for my stories from others, but I do my best to be creative and original. I have many friends, but I am truly myself around a handful of them. If you have any commentary or compliments, please leave me a note, and I'll write back!

College of Domestic Economy
Established in 1399 AH
Domestic economy has now exceeded the typical limits of concentration on some practical skills to also focus on theoretical and practical studies to match the scientific and technological advancements and to link curricula with the needs of the community. To that end, the former Directorate for Girls Education, as represented by the Deputyship of Girls Colleges, established the Department of Domestic Economy in the Girls' College of Education at Makkah, with a view to qualify high-caliber graduates who can address the requirements of the age. The department was inaugurated in 1399/ 1400 AH and it aims at qualifying specialized teachers of the different branches of domestic economy for preparatory and secondary schools.
Since the objectives of modern domestic economy focus on broadening the horizons of the girl students and on the applicatory aspects, the College of Domestic Economy was established in 1416/ 1417 AH, with the aim of graduating academically qualified and skilful girls who can efficiently fulfill their responsibilities as mothers and specialized teachers. The objectives also include qualifying graduates for joining the employment market and for participating in small enterprises and productive families. In addition to the Department of Domestic Economy, the college includes the Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences, the Department of Clothes and Textiles, and the Department of Housing and House Management, which awards bachelor's degrees of Education and Domestic Economy.

Remember when I did my Best Week Ever round up posts? Like…3 times? months ago?
I'm bringing them back!
I need a place to talk about all the random stuff that happens during the week that I can't seem to fit into a post with bread or cookies or salads. Plus, it gives me a reason to take pictures of things other than food.
Let's get started – Best Week Ever, 11/20/11!
I took this picture a few weeks ago, when the trees in our yard were absolutely gorgeous. Now the leaves are gone.
I miss fall already, and it's not even officially winter!
I am in love with my new gray wedges (Target) and red capris (Victoria's Secret). They are so comfy! And I'm not wearing sweats = bonus.
And speaking of clothes, I already had a little pity party on Facebook a few weekends ago, but my all time favorite jeans finally ripped.
I've had these jeans for 5 years, and it makes me so sad that they're starting to fall apart. I got them at Target and when I finally went to buy more, they had stopped carrying this style.
Maggie was sad for me, too.
We had both our families here this weekend for two reasons: The VT/UNC game (we froze our tails off, but it was fun!) and to do some painting and peel down wallpaper.
I'm going to have a separate post about the house updates, but here's a glimpse of what our kitchen looks like when there are more people here than just me and Nick:
We had 6 people, 3 dogs, 2 cats, lots of bread, a ton of ham, and cookies. And french toast.
PS: Have you made this bread yet?
Please, please, please do it! I made two loaves on Friday. We ate one as sandwiches with lunch and turned the second one into french toast Saturday morning.
That's how my week was, minus a few house updates that you'll be getting soon enough.
How was your week?
20 Responses to "Best Week Ever, 11/20/11"
Love the flats! Very cute :)
Oh my gosh- I want those shoes. Need….ok just want. Cute outfit. Love your pup :). Week has been good! Played a lot of catch up, taught some great classes, had a date with Josh!
What kind of dog is Maggie? She looks JUST like Mac (he's Australian Shepherd, maybe mixed with something?) but they have the same color eyes which I love :)
Now excuse me, but I must run to Target as there's a pair of gray flats I have to acquire.
She's a Brittany Spaniel – her hazel eyes are my favorite thing :)
I get sad when jeans start to wear out, too. I'm definitely not the kind of girl that can happily change her entire wardrobe every season or year… I wear clothes to their breaking point!
Sounds like it was a wonderful week! Your kitchen looks gorgeous! So much light! I'm jealous.
Awesome crops! I've been super obsessed lately with non-denim pants. I wish I was bold enough to pull of bright red ones – they look so fun!
you totally can! i wasn't sure about them, either, but I love 'em
Those jeans and wedges are so cute together!
This post is a delight: It cheered me and made me take another look at my own week past, which I'd thought was pretty helacious as I was enduring it.
Looking back, though, plenty of great stuff happened: I got to brew coffee for food journalists at a Good Food Awards press breakfast (and walked out with jar upon jar of nominated preserves and pickles, not to mention armloads of fresh cheese), I started planning my upcoming trip to Italy (!!!), I cooked good food for friends and ate better food with my husband, I ran a beautiful race in brisk autumn air this morning…
Life is good. Thank you for the reminder — I really needed it.
Thanks for the note :) a trip to Italy sounds fantastic!
1. I'm lusting over those shoes AND the capris
2. That bread? Well we both know how I feel about that bread.
3. I think I need to make french toast now
yes, you DO need to make french toast :)
I love the red pants and wedges! I saw red jeans at Target and now regret not getting them. They look great on!
Those Target wedges are the best!! I have them in gray and I'm going to try and find the black too. Yours look super cute with the red pants!
i need them in black, too! i love them
For someone who claims to not be very stylish, that outfit is killer! It's simple but very cute and quiet stylish :)
aw, thanks! that was a good style day :)
Um, so I somehow missed this post…oops…but I love, love, love the outfit with the wedges!!!
ha, thanks! :)

Rachelle Murcia, KGET
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) - A Bakersfield man is recovering after undergoing what doctors say will be life-changing surgery. Larry West discovered an abdominal growth fourteen years ago. It's since grown to an estimated 200 pounds.
But Tuesday, doctors began removing the extra weight that's been holding him back.
"It just kept growing larger and larger all of the time," said West of the growth.
It begins at his belly button and hangs to his feet.
"I have a hanging 150 to 200 pound sack of potatoes hauling around on me all of the time," said West.
It started growing in 1999 and it rapidly enlarged, making it nearly impossible to walk and leading to painful infections.
"Two o'clock in the morning, he'll start getting the chills, teeth chattering chills, and high fever. And, what are you going to do at two o'clock in the morning?," said West's wife, Charlotte.
Despite the pain and problems, doctors refused surgery, nor would insurance cover the costs. Until this year, under a new plan, West went to Memorial Hospital and met Dr. Vip Dev.

Ah, I found the hex character that will let you edit the proficiency stats. Does anyone know what the max level is?
No idea, but what hex variable and what program?
Using XVI32. I don't know if it'll be in the same co-ordinate in every save, but it's easy enough to find. At the top of the .sav is WeaponProficiencySkills.Skill_[YourWeaponOfChoice]Proficiency. After that is a hex string: "00 value 00 00 00 random-character". That second value is the proficiency level, you can just enter 50.
Here's a nice little tip to enable vsync and triple buffering so that you can alleviate screen tearing without killing your framerate.
If like me, you experience some rather extreme screen tearing, even though the framerate is stable, do this.
Download the latest version of Riva tuner from downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=163
Install the app and then open the install folder and within that the tools folder. Open the folder named D3DOverrider and run the app. Add your Borderlands.EXE to the D3DOverider menu (depending up on what version you have - Retail, STEAM, D2D) the app may be called WillowGame.EXE also. Now, highlight your EXE in the list and select to enable both vsync and triple buffering. Triple buffering will allow the game to maintain a much higher minimum framerate with vsync enabled. This has made the game far more enjoyable for me as I no longer get screen tearing, but can run the game maxed out at 1920x1200 and drop no lower than 52 FPS (which would have been immediately cut to 30 FPS without triple buffering).
Also, if you hate the sluggish mouse speed in the game menus, edit the WikllowInput.ini file. Simply search for bEnableMouseSmoothing=true, change true to false. No more sluggish mouse in the menus.

You can use TSearch to get loads of money. Then go to the topic called "Cheats" and see how to set godmode. Practically that is way enough to play the game.
That page is only for unlimited members... I've managed to get unlimited ammo and money for the time being. Can't figure out the XP or level aspect. It also doesn't help that the game crashes constantly when I minimize it.

You could use windowed mode for that problem
:facepalmsself: why didn't I think of that hahahaha.
=======Im using the game from Razor and all went fine(no CTD whatsoever) without trainer being use. (im LV 15 on my savegame)
Then i try both (Retail & Steam) version of trainers because I dont know whether razor one is steam or retail.
Anyway, retail trainer doesnt work. "Trainer cannot find game"

Found the cap - 50, same as the userlevel cap.
Worked perfectly man. for letting us know.
This method is a lot easier than using Tsearch or things like that. Well at least for the stats and what not. It doesn't seem to talk well to when I edit the talent/attributes whatever you wanna call them.

Cath and I got to spend five lovely days together in the beautiful, piney, hilly city of Seattle! We hope that while we nibbled nigiri, picked fruit and veg at Pike Place and did some thrift shopping, you guys stayed warm and toasty.
Cath and Troy had a
maddening leisurely nine hours at Sea Tac before they could fly home to icy Atlanta last night on the red eye. And I know that's the least of the crazy ice stories from the south east.
We'll have some delectable posts coming up soon on our Seattle-ness (what a wonderful city you have, Seattlites!). I feel so very lucky that even though this past year has been a struggle health-wise it's more than made up for it in the number of times I've been able to see my twinie! Next up? We'll be in Atlanta together again for about 2.5 weeks while I have surgery #2 (for my endo) and recovery. Silver linings abound.
Dear Cath,
Oy, I can't believe you guys had to do that nine hour waiting game yesterday. I know you must still feel the greasies and the sleepies, that special combination only obtained by long hours cattled in an airport and long flight.
So glad you guys got home okay. Did you have to sled on your suitcases to get from MARTA to your house? Can't wait to see you Sunday — sooo sooooon!
Love you like rain loves the PNW,

Sadface for the health problems and Cath's flight delays, but nice to hear you were able to spend some time in Seattle and with your twin. Can't wait to see your re-cap; as a Vancouverite, Seattle's one of my favourite across-the-border quick getaways.
P.S. Happy Chinese New Year, AsianCajuns!

Oh Lisa and we sooo wanted to make it out to Vancouver (we would have let you know of course — must make that happen one day)! Recap will start soon — just have to get my pesky surgery out of the way first and then on to fun Seattle posts.

Thanks so much, Diane! It's the most marvelous thing to have you as an endo buddy — though I'm so sorry we have to suffer together!

The silver lining of nine hours in an airport was that I was able to get a lot of work done Unfortunately it also meant that I ate too much airport junk food and then had an unfortunate stomach situation on the plane. But I won't go into details here!
Exploring Seattle with you, Matt and Troy was one of the most fun things I've done all year (harhar, get it? It's only January). No seriously, I loved it and wish our stay was twice as long!
I hate that you'll be back in Atlanta for surgery, but also love the fact that I'll have you so close to me again! See you tomorrow!!!
xoxo, Cath

The purpose of this informational release is to explain how the Department will impose penalties on completed audits. As you are probably aware changes were made to many of the Department's tax penalty provisions to make them discretionary rather than mandatory effective September 29, 2000 (H.B. 612). Prior to this law change, most of the Department's penalty provisions were mandatory, meaning most tax assessments were issued with a penalty. No discretion was permitted even in cases of exemplary taxpayer compliance. If a taxpayer wanted to seek a penalty remission, the taxpayer had to file a petition for reassessment, have a hearing with the Department's Tax Appeals Division, and wait for the Tax Commissioner's final determination on the matter. It was not unusual for this process to take nearly one year.
Tax Commissioner Discretion on Penalty
Because the imposition of penalty by the Tax Commissioner is currently discretionary, the Department can allow for the proper recognition of a good taxpayer at the time of assessment by not imposing a penalty. Imposing a discretionary penalty also eliminates additional paperwork and effort for the taxpayer and the Department because filing a petition for reassessment for a penalty remission may no longer be necessary.
Imposition of Penalty Worksheet
The goal of the revised worksheet is to have the imposition of a penalty applied consistently across all applicable taxes. This excludes real and personal property taxes because of different penalty procedures. The link below contains the revised worksheet and instructions that will be used by this Department to determine if a penalty should be applied on the completed audit. Please note that the penalty worksheet is subject to change at any time. Additionally, as stated with the worksheet, special circumstances will be taken into consideration that may increase or decrease the penalty derived from using the worksheet.
The major changes to the worksheet since the most previously updated version include:
Additional Charges
Imposition of additional charges, such as the penalty for filing a tax return late, is also discretionary. The Department, however, will likely continue to apply such penalties automatically when triggered by certain events. For example, a taxpayer that does not file a tax return will likely have all applicable penalties, including late charges, assessed.
Request for Penalty Remission
In the event that a penalty is applied to an assessment, the taxpayer will still have the opportunity to file a petition for reassessment to request a remission of the penalty. In the past, the initial review of the penalty imposition did not usually occur until an assessment was issued and the petition for reassessment was filed. Now, the assessed penalty will not be changed unless it is determined that the guidelines for imposing the penalty were not followed by the tax auditing agent or special mitigating circumstances exist.
Penalty Only Appeals
The changes effective 9/29/2000 also make it easier to petition for penalty remission for certain taxes. The pre-payment requirement of the penalty for the personal income tax and the corporation franchise tax was removed when an appeal to the Tax Commissioner is confined to a request for penalty remission. However, please note, the tax and interest portion of the assessment is still required to be paid for both of these taxes in order to perfect an appeal of the penalty.

Alternatively, enjoy an extensive tour by bus of the central parts of Bergen, including a visit to the Fantoft Stave Church and Troldhaugen, home of the composer Edvard Grieg and his wife Nina.
Bergen and its surrounding region can offer a great variety of activities ranging from bowling to fishing.
There are several golf courses around the city that offer customised package deals to groups of all sizes. Meland Golf Club, a mere 30-minute drive from Bergen, has an 18-hole championship course in stunning natural surroundings.
Bergen is surrounded by one of the world's greatest natural tourist attractions, the spectacular Norwegian fjords. Continuing to amaze the Norwegian people, let alone international visitors, the Norwegian fjords have now also been included on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
Bergen is Norway's second largest city, offering a wealth of facilities and a small-town charm and atmosphere with wooden houses and narrow cobbled streets. Beautiful, rich in history and tradition, vibrant and lively, the city is also home to Bryggen, the iconic old trading wharf that has a place on UNESCO's World Heritage List, classifying Bergen as a World Heritage City.
There are many reasons why Bergen was chosen to be one of Europe's cultural cities for the year 2000. It has fostered many well-known people such as the world-famous composer Edvard Grieg. Bergen also has one of the world's oldest symphony orchestras.
Bryggen is one of the most famous and best-preserved urban areas from medieval times. It is included on the UNESCO World Heritage List of cultural monuments and is a fine example of Norwegian architecture. Bryggen is a lively area today and home to many restaurants, cafés, shops and art galleries.

A Tool for Finding Life in Outer Space

"It is a very sensitive sensing technique that can measure organic small molecules like carbon dioxide, lipids, and different fragmentations that makes it a very good biomarker detector," says Bin Chen, a senior scientist at NASA Ames Research Center (ARC), who's leading the development of the spectrometer.
The NASA scientists are working to increase the sensitivity of the spectrometer even further by coating the probe–a fiber bundle that the light goes through to illuminate the target and that also receives the signal bouncing back–in gold and silver nanomaterials. This will enhance the electromagnetic and plasmonic properties of the probe on a device, says Chen. NASA scientists had originally planned to deploy a form of the Raman spectrometer on Spirit, the Mars rover, but because they worried about the durability of the device, they removed the spectrometer at the last minute.
The scientists working on endurance are planning to meet in Mexico in a month to further discuss the technological reconstructions of depthx with lead engineer William Stone, of Stone Aerospace. They will be addressing how to make it smaller and more power-efficient, as well as how to increase the durability of the sensors so that they can withstand the temperatures of the arctic waters. Once depthx is reconstructed, the scientists plan to do a small test of the device in an ice-bound lake in Wisconsin next spring before deploying the robotic probe to the Antarctic waters in November 2008. There the device will be tested for a month; scientists will be spending eight hours a day taking measurements.
"Determining the biogeography of the Antarctica lake could be a model for life on early Mars, so if you imagine how life survived on Mars, like, three billion years ago, it may be like the dry valley of lakes in Antarctica," says Chris McKay, a planetary scientist at NASA and a project coinvestigator. Mapping an ecosystem under the lake will help scientists better understand how life might be able to survive on ice-covered oceans on moons such as Jupiter's Europa.

Tuesday's easy run didn't feel so easy. There was no pushing the pace, but it felt off. I could tell something wasn't right. Residual fatigue from last week's travel and craziness? No doubt it was related, but this was more than just really tired.
Based on that run, I wasn't looking forward to the track on Wednesday. Normally, I love a bucket load of 400s on the red oval over at the high school. When I found myself thinking all day about how slow I might run them or how many I might make it through before staggering home, I took it as a bad sign.
Then there was the lawn that hadn't been mowed since before I went out of town last week. And Mrs. Dave was doing a 12-hour shift at the hospital, leaving me in charge of both dinner and getting T-dog to church. So I called it.
No intervals this week.
By the time the grass was cut and trimmed, there were no 400s in me anyway, even if I'd had time. Woke this morning ready to go back to bed. Nose a little runny, head a little stuffy, sneezing, coughing, feeling like I'm carrying an extra 40 pounds on my back.
I'm thinking no run today, either.
Attitude is everything
You're not allowed to get a cold in August.
Hate the summer cold! Really puts a damper on doing anything you want or need to get done. Feel better!!
Have a great run!
Best wishes to you.
Rock on and keep on running.....
Bummer. Summer colds are the worst.
Running = Happiness
Being sick sucks but it's probably for the best that you didn't force yourself to run last night.
I hope you fight it off quickly!
I ramble...
I'm sorry that you're sick, but I hope you're not contagious. What if everyone on the Loop gets it. They'll all be blaming you!
I'm blaming twentysixpoint2, who somehow gave it to me in Loopville.
Sit back a little, away from the screen, please. I don't want to catch what you have.
Feel better!
Run, Rest, Repeat
ick! rest up and guzzle the gatorade, water and soup and you'll be better in no time!
I'm pretty sure it's because you're mentally weak. Get out there and run!
Or at least that's what I would have said 13 years ago.
Discretion is the better part of valor. Smart rest should lead to better training.
lots of green tea w/ lemon...poor dave. feel better. summer colds are the pits.
i feel like someone just gave me a brand new 10 speed bike — and it's just my feet!
Summer colds are the worst. Feel better soon!
I was wondering where I left my 40 Pound back pack, could you take it off your back and send it to me? Feel better Dave! Oh, and sheep are good at keeping your grass short without having to mow!
I think it IS contagious. I also had a terrible run Tuesday. Cut it in half from 16 to 8 miles in the first 2 miles because my legs felt like rubber, then had such a bad asthma attack I ended up sitting on the side of the trail for a while trying to breathe. Yuck!
At least you weren't alone in your misery? I know, that doesn't help at all.
Bleack! No Summer colds allowed!
Get well, Dave.
Intervals with an oncoming cold would have been miserable and discouraging. Good call.
I hope Mrs. Dave makes good chicken soup. Feel better soon. Summer colds SUCK.
Good time to take it easy, kick back and watch some classic college football reruns, Shop online for new running gear, or just NAP for 3 days.
"I may not be handsome, but I am loved."
It wasn't me!
I know from yesterday, a slightly bad middle of the week, led to an awesome Saturday! Glad you were feeling better for the Michigan Loopfest and by the way you picked it up at miles 7-9, I would say you recovered quite nicely.
Run on everyone.....................Steve

I'm in the process of shifting from my separate "Yourdon Report" blog over to my "Yourdon.com" website for blogs about serious IT subjects (as distinct from frivolous postings about gossip, sports, movies, photography, etc.). As part of the process, I'm going to post some links here to various "series" of postings that I made on the other blog, because I think you might find them useful.
For example, I recently wrote a 6-part series of blog postings on the concept of "IT project confessionals." As I pointed out in the first of those postings,
"The problem faced by many of today's IT managers is that they knowthey've made a mistake — but (a) it's not obvious to them how they can undo, work-around, or rectify that mistake, and (b) there's nobody they can talk to. For whatever reason, they feel that they can't talk to their subordinates (after all, they're the boss!), and they can't talk to their fellow-manager peers … and most of all, they dare not confess their mistake to their boss…"
Here are the titles, and links to, the individual postings in that series:
Looking back at part 1 of this series, I see that there were 6 more installments I had intended to write:
- Resisting pressure from higher-level executives who say to the confessional priest, "Off the record, no names mentioned, tell me what's going on…"
- Forgiveness — is it possible? Practical?
- Anticipating a sin – what to do if the project manager says, "I haven't sinned yet, but I know I'm about to…"
- Measuring results
- Providing follow-up references and resources for ongoing help
- Setting up a "Sinners Anonymous" for project managers who want to network and share their experiences with other sinners
Who knows why I didn't continue writing … sometimes I feel like I'm shouting into a dark abyss, so I get bored and stop; but this time, I think it was another high-priority client project that intervened. Oh, yeah, and that was followed by a week of photographing rural scenery out in Colorado and Montana. And then I went down to Orlando for Agile2010. And then I had to go out to the Windy City for one of my expert-witness assignments …
So that's where things stand at the moment. If anyone is interested, let me know; things should be relatively quiet between now and Labor Day…

Addiction Recovery Counselling, Essex, East London & City of London UK
Is Addiction adversely affecting your life or the life of someone you care about?
You are likely to be trying to understand what is causing the problem and looking for the right sort of Addiction Therapy that will help to beat it. The trouble is that Addictive type problems can be confusing and at times can seem to defy all logic. Take a few moments to read below and it can help you with understanding the situation better and help to focus on getting the right sort of help for a lasting recovery.
The Merry-Go-Round Of Addiction
All Addictions cause Pain. The more that your Dependency progresses, the worse your emotional pain. This pain takes the form of internal emotional stress. Correspondingly, as your dependency and addictive stress increase, the more you feel the need to indulge your addictive behaviour. This, put simply, is what is known as 'The Cycle of Dependency' - like a Merry go-round swirling around and around but with no visible means to get off. There is a way to beat this problem and we would like to show you how.
Ambivalent Thinking Keeps The Escape Door Shut
The feeling of being trapped by your own conflicting desires is confusing and frightening. One minute you are planning to quit or cut it down and later you are planning the next episode of using. Who am I and what do I really want you hear yourself crying out inside. Learning to recognise which voice is your true voice and which is the destructive addictive voice will bring back an important choice into your life. We want to help you become free again to chose positive healthy behaviours.
Are You Unsure Of What Sort Of Help You Need - Or The Best Place To Go For Effective Help?
The sort of help no need will be individual to you. Finding the right sort of help can be difficult and time consuming when time is not on your side. It is difficult to know what to do for the best, especially when you are looking for results. There are AA based 12 step treatments available to those who might benefit from that approach. Our treatment is Non AA and one on one based, however, if you feel that you will need a period of time in a clinic and that you will need much close support for a lengthy period then rehab might be for you. But, if you feel that you can manage to quit this problem with the right help on a individual therapy basis then Freedom Therapy could help you.
The Hidden Fears Of Addiction
I know that for many, being addicted can be a long, painful situation, struggling to control and hide a secret life. You are afraid that it's only a matter of time before someone notices or maybe work finds out. Each new day or week or every month heralds another desperate struggle to get this thing under control. This is no way to live.
You are searching for a way to become free of your addiction so you no longer need to hide. You have probably been struggling on your own to gain control. By getting the right help to regain control of yourself and your behaviour you will find relief and that there is no need to struggle or hide any more Freedom Therapy is designed to help you regain control.
When Addiction Is Present - Everyone Suffers
I know it is a difficult fact to face, but the family suffers. As you, struggle on your own to find answers to your problem and control over your live and your behaviour, your family is hurting; children, wives, husbands, mums and dads - all hurting. When addiction is present, everyone hurts. By quitting now before things get much worse, you will be saving everyone more pain. Freedom for your family is a priority.
Perhaps You Feel Uncertain Or Afraid That It Doesnt Work Or That You Will Feel Worse Once You Quit.
Often people are ambivalent about quitting their addictions and in turn can be afraid of accepting help. They are afraid that life will be dull without their addictive behaviour and that they might be overwhelmed with cravings and terrible feelings of wanting. By using modern and powerful techniques this need not be the case. Appropriate therapy must help you feel empowered and confident in your ability to quit successfully.
I want you to know that your situation is far from hopeless. You can achieve freedom from your addiction and you can feel happy in a natural way. Often people are afraid that life will be filled with cravings and a struggle to overcome boredom. Believe me, it doesn't have to be that way at all. You can enjoy a renewed sense of happiness and a feeling of contentment - especially without your addictive behaviour, but if you try to keep your addictive behaviour, you will inevitably get more unhappiness and misery.
In their secret quiet dark moments of aloneness and despair people suffering from dependency problems know that they feel trapped in a cycle of destructive behaviour and that they need help to break free.
Don't let pride and stubborn self sufficiency stand in your way of Freedom.
My guess is, if you really believed that you could do it, then you would leap at the chance of having the help needed to achieve those goals.
I want you to know that if you honestly want to achieve the above goals by quitting your addictive behaviour and are willing to put in the time effort and commitment , then you can be empower to achieve that level of freedom, happiness and contentment. There is no such thing as a hopeless case.
Imagine what it would be like to have been imprisoned in a dark lonely place for long time and that you could be freed to walk out into the sunshine to rejoin life again. That would surely be worth having.
We have been helping people like Allen, Tony, Angus, Ron and Jen find lasting Freedom from Addiction for over 30 years. We use a combination of Motivation Coaching, Addiction Hypnotherapy, Relapse prevention and Addictive behaviour reprogramming. All of which, when combined together make a heady combination of incisive therapeutic tools. With these tools, you can regain your life.
I must be clear from the outset that we are not policemen. We are not here to bully people who don't want to change their Addiction, nor can we make someone want to change when they just don't want it for themselves. We will not work with clients who are attending reluctantly - that are coerced to Addiction therapy somehow.
We choose to work with those that we are sure are committed to change their addiction problem and who are willing to take responsibility for changing their addiction behaviour. We can help you, but the responsibility is yours. If you are sure that you are in that category then we welcome you to get in touch with us to discuss how we can move forward.
For Addiction Counselling in London, Essex and Herts, or with Webcam or Telephone therapy, call us or fill out our contact form now, while the thought is still fresh in your mind.

An excerpt from The King's Psychic: The True Story of the Occultist Doctor Who Ensnared Edward VIII, England's Nazis and World War II Commanders by Sean Stowell.
via IOM Today (Click the link to read the full excerpt):
… Read the rest
A new book, The King's Psychic, tells the remarkable story about a wealthy doctor who lived at Ballamoar Castle near Ballaugh. He dabbled in the occult and had secretly treated King Edward VIII in the build up to the king's eventual abdication. Here the author Sean Stowell describes the doctor's role in those historic events, and how he then went on to influence some in Britain's High Command in World War Two after he moved to the Isle of Man.
Not unexpectedly given the prevalence of gossip about him, both my grandmothers separately picked up fascinating gossip about Dr Alexander Cannon, the 'psychic' doctor who played a secret role in the 1936 abdication.

Casa Roble's freshman basketball team was no match for Oak Ridge on Thursday, as the Trojans won big 90-44 to improve to 8-0 on the season.
The Trojans play Whitney at 6:30 p.m. tonight in the second round of the Woodcreek Tournament.
Oak Ridge dominated Casa Roble in all aspects. With 90 points scored, obviously, the Trojans had no problem scoring. Strong defensive play led to more opportunities at the basket, as Oak Ridge grabbed 47 rebounds, dished out 34 assists and made 20 steals, while forcing 28 turnovers.
"We were moving the ball well and getting everyone involved and that shows when our point guard, Kevin Kassis, dishes out 10 assists," Oak Ridge coach Clark Woods said. "I still tell our guys that our defense wins these games and getting 20 steals and turning those into points makes a tremendous difference on the outcome of our games. Hopefully, we can continue to build our momentum for tomorrow because if we win, it will be another tough championship game Saturday against Woodcreek or Bella Vista."
Tommy Dunnigan led the team with 16 points, five rebounds, four steals and three assists. Sean Garmston came off the bench to score 12 points, grab seven rebounds and make five steals. Kassis had his second double-double of the season with 10 points, 10 assists and four steals, while post players Brendan Galbreath, Cole Compton and Nick Nygaard combined for 25 points and 18 rebounds.

Katie Morford takes lunch seriously, especially when it comes to making lunch for her three daughters, who are entering elementary, middle and high school this year.
"It's a big job to feed kids, and packing a lunch has all these built-in challenges," Morford said. "It has to be to-go, so you have to keep it hot or cold and keep it from getting mushy."
The registered dietician, who lives in San Francisco and writes a family food blog called "Mom's Kitchen Handbook," shares her kid-tested tips and recipes in a new cookbook, "Best Lunch Box Ever."
For busy parents, Morford said the secret to packing a healthy lunch is to think ahead, which means making sure the bread box has enough whole-grain bread and whole-wheat tortillas, the fridge is stocked with eggs and leftover chicken and yogurt, and the produce bin has some cherry tomatoes, peppers and melon.
And then you have to plan some more.
"For me, it was about figuring out what I could do in advance, on the weekend and the night before," she said. "And learning that I could rely on my kids to help."
One of Morford's time-saving tricks is to spin off dinner leftovers like pasta into tasty dishes for the next day's lunchbox, such as "Oodles of Sesame Noodles."
"I will make more of a dinner salad, and then scoop out extra and have them already in those containers," she said. "Or I'll roast an extra chicken or make more brown rice."
On the weekends, Morford spends up to an hour working ahead on preparation, then carves out about five minutes after each dinner to prep and package.
In the morning, while she puts together the entrees — heating up some black beans, topping them with cheese and packing it in a thermos — her kids work on their own side dishes of fruit and vegetables.

Shadows in the Palace (Goong Nyeo)
Dir: Kim Mi-jung. South Korea 2007. 111 mins.To get a handle on Kim Mi-jung's impressive debut, imagine The Name of the Rose set it in a Korean royal court of the Joseon dynasty. The big difference, apart from the cultural transposition, is that this historical murder mystery takes place in a closed, secretive, hierachical society of women, rather than men: fitting for one of the first Korean films to boast a female director, producer, and executive producer. ...

The eagerly awaited first footage from "The Hunger Games," based on the best-selling science-fiction trilogy by Suzanne Collins, premiered at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards this weekend. The story takes places in a dystopian world in which North America has been destroyed by some unknown calamity. A nation called Panem rises from the ashes consisting of a wealthy Capitol and 12 poorer surrounding districts.
Every year, one teenage boy and girl are chosen from the districts to compete in what's called "The Hunger Games," a televised fight-to-the-death. The brutal account of what the competitors endure presents a gripping story, with one reviewer on Amazon calling it "one of the most terrifying books I've read in a very long time."
In this short peek from MTV, we get a glimpse of the main character Katniss (played by Jennifer Lawrence) running through the forest, while fireballs rain down all around her. There's also a bit of bow and arrow action — but something tells me rather than satiating, this frustratingly short teaser is only going to make everyone starve for more.
Check out the clip below. "The Hunger Games" will be released on March 23, 2012.

Topic: Presenter 7.0.5 Build 7588 won't publish quiz
I just downloaded Presenter 7 (then all of the subsequent patches) and created a quiz and tried to publish. It brings up the Publish Presentation dialog box but when it tries to publish and jump to the server login, it just dies. Is there an issue with this specific version or "build" of the software? I was using Presenter 7 previously and it connected to our Adobe server just fine.

Roundhouse Designs creates sites for actors & performers
4 Jun
Co-Owners Ryan Foy & Nick Gaswirth
Occupation: Web developers and graphic designers who specialize in marketing for actors and performers
Business: Roundhouse Designs
City: New York and Los Angeles
Ages: 27
Actors pick up lots of jobs while filling in the time and the cash that acting gigs leave a gap for.
Stereotypically, this means working for someone else as waiters or bartenders, but Ryan Foy and Nick Gaswirth realized after making their own websites that they had a slightly better proposition on their hands.
Flexible schedule? Check.
Creatively rewarding? Check. Helpful to their friends and the acting community? Check and check. —Jenny An
What's your #BHAG2012?
Our BHAG is to be the go-to website developers for performers and creative artists in L.A. and New York. Beyond 2012, we want to open a studio where we can photograph clients, build websites and edit video reels in one beautiful location.
What's your startup story?
We both went to University of Michigan for musical theatre and moved to New York to pursue acting. About thee years ago, we both needed websites for our own performing careers and decided to make them ourselves. After we launched those sites, we had a ton of friends asking us to design their actor websites as well. It grew from there, and now we have over 50 clients.
What are the difference between working directly with creative talents vs. working with large companies?
Working with creatives is so refreshing. The personal connections are so much easier to navigate. Often, our clients are trying to find a way to express themselves creatively online, and it's exciting for us because we get to play more with creating their online identities.
What is your typical workday like?
We live on different coasts, so we work remotely via Facetime and Skype. We work really strange hours, fitting in work sessions between auditions and performing gigs, so no two days are the same. One of us focuses on the graphic and design elements of a site, while the other focuses on coding.
What skills did you learn in order to work for yourself?
We've both become pretty well-acquainted with the Adobe Creative Suite and Coda by Panic. Other than that, client relations is the other main focus. It's a big change to go from building sites for your friends to charging people real money for your services, and there's a lot of finesse that goes along with that.
How did you decide that you were ready to go it alone?
Working as performers never will be a consistent or full-time gig, and Roundhouse Designs keeps us creatively fulfilled, and we're our own bosses. We wouldn't be able to focus on our side projects in the same way if we were working for a company.
"It's a big change to go from building sites for your friends to charging people real money for your services."
How do you meet your clients? Any hints for people just starting out?
Performers work in an incredibly small and interconnected world, so everyone knows everyone and good recommendations go a long way. We're incredibly lucky to have a great group of friends and clients who help spread the word about our sites.
Don't be afraid to use the connections you already have to get your business started. People you know personally will always be the most supportive of your new endeavors.
Have you collaborated with anyone or an organization?
We don't do a ton of collaborations yet, but we would totally be open to working with other creatives on specific projects. We often recommend certain photographers to our clients to get website-specific photos.
Are you open to mentorships?
We're always open to guidance about new technology and new graphic design skills. Both of us are self-taught in design, and we love learning new things. As for interns, not quite yet, but hopefully someday we will need them!

Two-alarm blaze doused in west Salt Lake industrial park
Firefighters responded Thursday morning to a two-alarm blaze in a west Salt Lake City industrial park.
Smoke and flames were reported at 6:49 a.m. at the Deseret Industries Manufacturing complex, 1680 S. Industrial Road (1900 West), which makes furniture and mattresses for the LDS Church-owned and operated thrift store chain.
Salt Lake City Fire Department spokesman Jasen Asay said five employees inside the building safely evacuated to a parking lot. They were joined by several others arriving to work. No injuries were reported.
By 8 a.m., 34 firefighters had doused the fire and were clearing smoke from the building.
Asay said the fire began in an exterior hopper that collects sawdust. While the cause of the blaze was under investigation, initial indications were that it was ignited by a spark, perhaps from machinery.
The smoke from the hopper filled connecting air ducts and spread throughout the building, setting off smoke detectors and a fire-suppression sprinkler system.

It's Wedding Bell Time
When a couple begins to talk together about a date for their wedding celebration there are many things to consider and discuss. It is hoped that they have set the date far enough in advance (usually a year) so that the preparations can take place in a calm manner. Their ceremony will last under an hour, their marriage will last a lifetime. During the time of preparation and discernment, the couple are offered ways to deepen their commitment. The time of engagement is indeed a special gift and meant to add joy and blessing, not stress and anxiety.
Fr. Paul Turner has written a book to help the presider as well as the couple prepare for the ceremony in a way that will prepare them for their life-long marriage. Preparing the Wedding Homily: A Guide for Preachers and Couples contains workbook pages for the couple and includes a worksheet for homily preparation by the presider. It is designed for collaboration between the couple and the presider to develop understanding and meaning for the ceremony and for their life together.
Some parishes provide a written policy to every couple getting married so that they can understand the details of the preparation that is necessary. The policy should answer the questions that are asked with any wedding. Every couple, for example, is required to enter into a pre-marriage process to help the couple come to grips with the communication skills essential for a sound relationship. Specific policies may vary with each diocese.
If there are questions to answer regarding church norms surrounding weddings,
a great little resource book to have at hand is The Catholic Wedding
Answer Book: ML Answers the 101 Most-Asked Questions, also by Fr.
Paul Turner. This presents the answers to questions about weddings that parish
staff members want to have at their fingertips. Anyone who deals with couples
preparing for a wedding will find this a God-send. No need to look up the rules
in the church documents. The research has already been done and is presented in
an easily understood manner.
Many parishes select a date when they bless all the married couples of the parish. The Book of Blessings contains specific blessingsMinistry Resource Update for June 2011 that can be used during liturgy or as part of a Liturgy of the Word service. Frequently the date selected is in February for World Marriage Day, which happens to be near Valentine's Day. Many Dioceses invite married couples, especially those with notable anniversaries to come to the cathedral for a special Mass and blessing.
The married couples of the parish provide a beautiful example of this wonderful commitment to faithful love for those who are preparing for this sacrament. All the parishioners can be invited to pray that those long time married couples as well as the young newlyweds always have the grace to live out their vows.
Please send me suggestions from your parish practices, and I'll include them in next month's Ministry Resource Update.
Please feel free to forward this update to anyone you think would find it helpful. You can send any comments or recommendations you would like to make on this topic to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I have thoroughly enjoyed EC 12 year old. It has become one of my favorites. I've probably had 7 or 8 bottles now.
This last bottle I purchased was almost undrinkable. Smelled and tasted extremely musty!
What could the cause of this be? Does this happen quite a bit, rarely, sometimes, etc.?
Just curious.
