As I am currently traveling abroad, I am starting to feel a bit of home sickness because it is starting to be that crisp fall weather that I love, but there is one teensy little problem that I am having. I cannot find anything that is pumpkin spice over here! I mean, c'mon, I thought that it was understood by everyone all over the world that you cannot have fall without all things pumpkin spice.
Normally, I am drinking my pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks and enjoying things like pumpkin spice pancakes, waffles, muffins, donuts, etc. at local restaurant and bakeries. But over here? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. And it is making me so sad!
Sure, I can get things like pumpkin soup and pumpkin ravioli – but neither of those things are the sweet tasty goodness that is like my religion each fall! I mean, it is practically insanity that there are no sweet pumpkin flavored treats to be found at any of the local shops here. Europe needs to get with the program, right? I mean, how do all these Europeans live like this each autumn? Do they even realize what kind of greatness that they are missing out on? And how can we deal with the dismissal of summer without pumpkin spice coffees and treats? Will we just be depressed from now right on through Christmas?
I know what needs to be done here. I need to look for a shop that sells American foods and see if they happen to have the necessary items that I would need to make something pumpkin spice flavored – be it coffee or a yummy little treat. Otherwise, I just might go crazy without it.
And what about apple cider? I haven't seen any hot spiced apple cider on any cafe menus either! Oh, the agony.
As someone who grew up in the South, I have a lot of friends and family who believe that religion – specifically Christianity- is the only way, no matter what you are talking about or what the scenario. What I find most interesting about them, and people like them, is that they fail to recognize when this thought pattern actually is destructive in ways that hurt others. It is almost like is does not matter to them if they are hurting someone else as long they are are following the Bible because if the other people getting hurt were following the Bible then they would not be in their firing path, so to speak.
This is really sad to me because why can't we all just focus on humanism first and then let the chips fall where they may. And I am not saying that people cannot have their religion, but that I just wish that they would take stock of the times when they are using it as an excuse to hurt others.
Instead, we should all place the most value on human beings on focus on being better as humanity as a whole and not just one religion and its followers being better than another's. The American Humanist Association focuses on this idea of being good people without needing a God to scare us all into being good out of fear of going to hell or the like.
I mean, I guess part of the problem here is that not ALL people are intrinsically good at heart, but I do believe that there is a strong leaning for most all people to be good. Sure, there are the few that need scared by organized religion to be good and those that nothing can scare into being good – but those are the minority. And if we all worked together to focus on all of us being better together, then imagine the things that we could do. Greatness. That is what could happen. I know that this sort of thing will never be the norm, but it is a good thing to dream about sometimes, huh?
I have a friend who decided that it was a good idea to have a bit of an affair with a married man. How I have managed to be friends with someone who could partake in such despicable behaviour is really a puzzle to me. What is worse about this particular event is that she has also decided to become friends with the wife of the man she is having the affair with. To me, this is some truly twisted behaviour because not only should you feel terrible about cheating with someone who is married but to go and be friendly with the wife of that person is even more reprehensible.
When asked about this atrocious situation that she has gotten herself into, she simply responded that she has no regrets. Zero. That is correct – where she should feel hella guilty, she feels nothing. It is almost like she thinks that she was owed this guy by the universe, nevermind the fact that she is acting so horribly as a human being. What is most interesting about people who act like this is that you just know that if the tables were turned that she would not be very happy if she discovered that the new friend she'd made was sleeping with her boyfriend behind her back – and was doing so before they became friends.
The interesting thing about this scenario for me is that it shows just how important it is that people feel some guilt when they do terrible things. I mean, what kind of person can do these things and not feel even an ounce of guilt? I mean, really? After looking into this sort of thing online, it appears that a narcissist is the type of person who feels no remorse for their actions that hurt people, but she really does not fit the rest of the traits of that type of person. That being said, going forward I will make sure to only associate myself with people who are capable of feeling guilt when they do terrible things – even if it is only after the fact.
If someone had told me that there is a desert in the state of North Carolina, then I likely would've laughed hysterically. But it turns out that it is true!
Recently, I took a little trip over to the Outer Banks area of the state just to check it out since I'd never been. And while I was over there, I discovered that there was a sand dune park. It is actually a state park and it the tallest natural sand dune system in the Eastern United States. How freaking cool is that?
It is free to visit and wander around, so I did just that. What is really weird about it that you have this desert just sitting near the coast of North Carolina. I mean, who thinks of a desert when they think of North Carolina? I certainly know that is not where my mind goes, well, I mean now it does, but not before then.
The interesting thing about visiting the sand dune state park in the Outer Banks is that the temperature on the sand dunes is a good 10 degrees warmer than away from the sand dunes. So, you have to really plan your visit there when it is a little cooler so that you do not get scorched just trying to check out this super cool desert near the sea.
Check out the photo below of some other people visiting the sand dune park. It appears to be taken sometime around sundown, so it looks pretty cool. It is still hard to believe that this desert is located in this southern state!
Last year, I made it up to Washington DC to see the famous cherry blossoms in bloom at the Tidal Basin. It was something that I'd wanted to do for a while and it was totally worth the trip.
Next on my list is seeing them in Philly as they have a Japanese garden with them that looks pretty cool in the photos. So, I am hoping to see that this year when they hit peak bloom.
And up for next year, hopefully, is going to Japan to see them in bloom in Kyoto and other Japanese cities. That will the the icing on the cake right there.
Now what is interesting is that I have begun to notice that there are some in bloom where I live here in Raleigh. They are in bloom right now! But the ones in DC and Philly have yet to hit peak bloom for 2014.
Taking notice of all the local blooms made me realize something. There really is beauty all around you – you just have to take time to look around and notice it. It's like little pockets and moments just here and there, and if you're rushing around then it is easy for you to miss those moments and pockets. Instead, they just blend in with everything else around you as part of the blur and rush of everyday life. Next time you are out and about, I urge you to take a moment and really look around you and see what beauty might be hiding amongst the blurs, just waiting for you to take notice of it. Once you see it, it will change your day and maybe even your whole way of thinking.
Since I work from home and do not get out all that much, I decided that I needed to get myself a new hobby that not only gets me out of the house but also can be part of a fitness routine. You see, my working from home also results in me sitting on my bum more often than I should. And I do not want to turn into a gelatinous blob, so I did a search online for some frugal hobbies that will help me get fit.
At first, I thought about running because I used to run cross-country in high school. I remembered how fit I was when I was doing that, but it was a rather boring activity after a while. So, I scrapped that idea.
Next I considered taking up tennis again, but I had to scrap that idea too. Why? Because it is kind of difficult to play tennis if you do not have a partner to play against! I mean, I guess I could've stuck with playing tennis on the Wii, but that does not get me out of the house or give me the fitness benefits that I am interested in getting for myself.
Then I ended up on a hobby website where people were talking about the benefits of cycling and that intrigued me. It was not something that I'd ever done before, so I had to read up on it. I certainly did not want to spend a ton of money on a new hobby. It did not take long to learn that I could do this hobby on the cheap, so I started looking for the best cheap road bikes for the money. I found that you could spend thousands on a good road bike or just a few hundred. I decided that I was okay with a few hundred and set to making this my new hobby.
The cool thing is that I can now get out of the house on the bike and run a few simple errands without using the car. This means that I get the fitness benefit as well as getting out of the house and checking an errand off my list. I actually ind of wish that I'd gotten started cycling sooner. And maybe I will move from here to a place where I can do a lot more cycling and maybe try living car free for a while. I figure if there is a service like zipcar in the area, then this would be possible. Who knows though!
I recently went to my first concert at Madison Square Garden, except that it wasn't in the big arena that you see on TV. Instead, it was at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. Yup, a much smaller venue, but better for concerts than an arena if you ask me.
Well, getting into MSG was quite the experience. It was much like going through airport security! Before you can walk up the steps to enter the building, someone asks you to take off your hat (it was cold when I was there) and unzip your coat. Then, you have to spread your arms out, like at the airport. They wand you from the front and the back. Then, you get to go through the doors.
Once inside, someone has to look through your handbag. After that is done, you get your ticket scanned and get in line to ride the escalator up to enter the theater. When you get to the top, you walk down a long corridor where an employee is yelling for you to stay to the sides. At the end of the corridor is a snack bar, restrooms and entrances to the theater.
The theater itself is nice enough, seating is comfortable enough. If you are lucky enough to be seated on the floor on the stage left area then you are super close to the lower restrooms. This is great for quickly taking a bathroom break and not missing anything on the stage. And you just might see one of the performers over by the restrooms since they seem to use those ones. That is a kind of cool part of this theater.
And when the show is over, they open the side exits and you get right out on the street instead of having to walk back through the venue, which is nice.
The worst thing about seeing a show here are the prices at the snack bar. You have to pay $5.25 for a bottle of water AND they keep the cap so that you cannot reseal it! So, you have to hold it the entire show or set it down and hope that no one kicks over your expensive bottle of Dasani.
I prefer other concert venues, but I wouldnt be opposed to seeing a show here again if I had to do so.
Want to know the concert that I saw at the theater? Check out the video below for more info!
I finally got a chance to stay at the Yotel hotel in NYC this week. I've actually made reservations there on more than one occasion in the past, but I've always ended up canceling them due to finding a better deal at another hotel. But this time, they were the cheapest for the time period, probably because I'd booked a Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal that gave me a rate of only $179 per night.
It is worth noting that this hotel is listed as "Times Square West" on pretty much every travel site, but that is not exactly truthful. Okay, technically, the hotel is west of Times Square at 42nd St. However, it is way far far – all the way over at 10th Ave., which is past the Port Authority bus terminal. This means that you have quite a walk from Times Square to the hotel, and you walk through what are some less populated areas.
Now, I'm definitely not saying that this isn't a safe area. What I am saying is that some people might not feel safe walking back to the Yotel at night. This is just something to think about if you are the type of person that gets scared easily in big cities.
So, onto the review!
The check-in process at the Yotel NYC is a traveler's dream! There are a bunch of kiosks in the lobby and you just check yourself in. That's it. Then, you get on the elevator and ride up to floor FOUR. This is where the actual lobby of the hotel is located, but you can just take a right out of the elevators to the other bank of elevators that will take you up to your room. You do have to use your room keycard to get these elevators to work.
The rooms are small, but that is expected. They are perfectly functional though, which is all that matters. My biggest complaints are that the bed feels like you're sleeping on a park bench with a sheet over it and (like most hotels) they have a lock on the thermostat so that you cannot put it to your preferred temperature. It was around 19 degrees (brr) when I was there and the room would not warm past 72 degrees. Normally this would be fine for me, but the large window by the bathroom was quite drafty and it most definitely was not 72 degrees in that area of the room – try showering in that! Brr!
I did love that each floor has a galley with free coffee, water, ice and hot water. There is also a microwave and mini-fridge in there. Definitely saved me a lot on bottled water and coffee.
Overall, it was a decent stay for the price.
I am always on the lookout for tasty snacks that are 100% organic as I do not want to eat any conventional packaged food. My diet is pretty much 100% organic, which is why I want my snacks to be the same. One of the big things that I miss since going organic a few years ago is… the delicious chocolatey goodness of a brownie.
Sure, you can buy an organic brownie mix and make up your own batch of chocolate treats. But sometimes you just want to be able to pick up one when you're out somewhere, right? Plus, making a batch of organic brownies is a wee bit time consuming and I am not at all interested in that.
So, I was really stoked when I saw the Pure Organic Chocolate Brownie bar on the shelf at my local Earthfare grocery store. I picked one up to give it a try – I should've bought more! It was so good!
Sometimes when you get something that is supposed to be a sweet treat that is labeled as natural or organic, then you end up with a food item that in no way resembles what it is masquerading as. That is not true with this little bar. It definitely tastes like a chocolate brownie with nuts. Sure, the texture isn't exactly like the brownie that you're used to, but it does remind me a lot of those Little Debbie Cake brownies that I used to eat as a kid.
The only other flavor of these bars that I've tried is the Banana Coconut. It is pretty good, but not as great at the Chocolate Brownie bar. So. if you're considering trying just one of flavors in this line of bars, then the brownie bar gets my vote.
Once of the things that I just love about these is that they are packed with omega 3s and protein. In fact, I usually take a couple of these with me on hikes to give me a quick energy boost once I start slowing down and getting tired.
Kids also seem to love these, at least my nephew does. So hey, if they are kid approved then they are good enough for everyone, right? I suggest that you give one of these bars a try and see if you agree with me that they are kind of like the Little Debbie brownies. (they so are! you'll see!)
If there is one thing that I can pinpoint that annoys me more than anything else out there, then I would point to a lack of gift acknowledgement. When I send someone a gift, I like to know that it was received. A simple, "hey, got that package you sent" will suffice. I do not need to be thanked but I do want to know that it at least arrived. But, I seem to be in the minority with this, at least when it comes to my friends and family who I send gifts to. And it does not matter if I send cash, a gift card or an actual gift because no one wants to be bothered to let me know they got what I sent – except for my parents.
Of course, maybe that is it. I was raised to promptly acknowledge a gift, of course so were my brothers and they do not employ this courtesy.
Sometimes I just want to know that the item did not get lost in the mail, y'know? But alas, I usually end up having to ask the recipient if it arrived. And if I don't do that, then they never tell me that it arrived until months later when they see me. Not only is this incredibly rude, but it is also disrespectful. How long does it take to send a quick email or text message? Not long at all, so don't even bother telling me how busy you've been and that's why you haven't had a chance to let me know that you received what I sent you 8 months ago.
But, if there is one thing that I've learned it is that people are not going to change how rude or disrespectful they are, especially if their excuse is that they are putting themselves first. So, maybe I'll stop sending gifts since they seem to go unappreciated.

11th ACR Horse Det. rides home victorious
October 9, 2009
Story Highlights
- Horse Detachment wins General Pulaski Award
- The National Cavalry Competition pits teams in both civilian and military sectors against each other
FORT IRWIN, Calif -- Soldiers from the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment's Horse Detachment earned the General Pulaski Award while competing in the National Cavalry Competition in Fort Robinson, Nebr. Sept. 23 - 27.
The General Pulaski Award is given to the best active-duty military unit that participates in the competition.
Sgt. 1st Class Jeffery Ray, Sgt. Samuel J. Dillender, Spc. Brian T. Hall, and Spc. Jared D. Davis, were the competitors chosen to represent the 11th ACR in Fort Robinson. This year's competition was the first for the Soldiers. At the start of the five-day event, the team did not know what to expect. It didn't take long for the Troopers to find their rhythm.
"After the first event we all calmed down," said Sgt. Dillender, a squad leader with the Detachment. "After the nerves settled, we just had fun with it, and learned whatever we could from the other teams participating."
Spc. Davis said not only was the event a competition, but also a learning experience that allowed like-minded Cavalry professionals to exchange tips of the trade.
"We took away a lot of information from different teams that will better the Detachment in upholding the Cavalry tradition," said Spc. Davis, who came to the Detachment after being an Intelligence Analyst with the 511th Military Intelligence Company.
Sgt. 1st Class Ray, the Detachment first sergeant, and Spc. Hall, a squad leader with the Detachment, alongside civilian contractors from the Fort Huachuca team, placed first in the Major Howze event.
The Major Howze is a night land navigation course that ends with a revolver attack on stationary targets. The event is based on an assault the 11th ACR conducted during the 1916 Punitive Expedition of Mexico.
Now that the competition is over the Soldiers of the 11th ACR's Horse Detachment are ready to begin training for next year's competition.
Capt. Christopher J. Eby, the Detachment Commander, said not only will they be focusing on training the Soldiers that participated this year, but also increasing the number of troops in next year's competition.
"With more troops we will be able to compete in more events," said Capt. Eby. "We will also be able to compete in the Major Howze event with our own team."
Now that the team knows what is expected of them, they will be able to train specifically for the competition's array of challenges.
"We have a lot of construction to do," said Sgt. Dillender. "We will be building different jumps, and new poles for saber drills that we saw at the competition."
Having prepared for this year's National Cavalry Competition without having been a part of one, the Troopers feel they did well in showing the Cavalry community what the Blackhorse Regiment has to offer.
"We represented the unit well this year, even though it was our first time out," said Sgt. 1st Class Ray, the Detachment 1st Sgt. "We are ready to start training for next year's competition, and hopefully we will have some of the same Soldiers here to participate."

World Fighting Championships will promote its debut mixed martial arts event at the Belle of Baton Rouge Saturday, July 20. WFC 9 will feature 10 bouts, including amateur and professional MMA fights, showcasing talented fighters in Baton Rouge and surrounding areas and fighters across the region.
"There is untapped talent in Louisiana, and we want to showcase them on the biggest stage possible," Matt McGovern, president of WFC, said. "I have promoted over 40 mixed martial arts events between the WFC and a prior company. We are in three different markets in Nevada, which include Reno, Lake Tahoe and Lauhlin. Baton Rouge will be the fourth market we enter with plans on being in Las Vegas by the end of 2013."
McGovern has committed WFC to a total of 15 MMA shows for this year, with another event coming to the Belle of Baton Rouge this fall. Next year, as WFC enters into five markets, McGovern anticipates a total of at least 27 events for 2014.
The main event of WFC 9 will feature professional lightweight fighters Thomas Webb and B.J. Lawrence.
"It is a pleasure to fight on anyone's card, and especially as the main event," Webb said. "It is exciting that a non-Louisiana fight promotion like the WFC is coming to Baton Rouge. It just gives the fighters more exposure on a larger level and for fighters to have greater opportunities."
Webb, who is undefeated, is the head MMA instructor of LA Boxing Sherwood in Baton Rouge. He is an avid striker who is recognized as one of the most talented lightweights in the state. Webb will be ready to display his talents in front of his hometown fans this weekend.
"B.J. is a good fighter with good technical skills, but I'm better," Webb said. "The submission attempts I can handle. I train with people all the time who are good on the ground, and my wrestling is my game, so I am not worried about that. I know my experience will come into play with this fight against him. Expect to see a great fight with some new things thrown in the mix."
Lawrence is also undefeated as a professional, making this main event even more interesting. He has won most of his amateur and pro fights by submission. He trains at Gracie United in Biloxi, Miss. and is known for being one of the top emerging professional lightweights in the region.
"I respect Thomas Webb as a fighter," Lawrence said. "I've heard really good things about him, and I am very excited to be able to step in a cage with somebody with his level of respect. I believe I have prepared well for this fight. I look forward to getting in there, showing my talent, as well as putting on a good show for the fight fans."
Heavyweight powerhouse James Stampley is scheduled for the co-main event. Stampley, a former LSU fullback and national champion, is making his mark in the MMA community and remains undefeated with all of his wins by technical knockouts. His power and speed are impeccable, so get ready for a great and entertaining fight.
Other featured fighters on the card include Gage Duhon, Tarron Rogers, Robert Dunn, George Frangie, Joc Bernard, Brian Wells and many more.
"Being a new promoter in town, it's a building process between us and the MMA community," McGovern said. "I didn't expect it to be easy, but I am satisfied with the teams we have involved on this fight card. We have fighters coming from Gladiators Academy of Baton Rouge, LA Boxing of Baton Rouge, Alan Belcher MMA in Biloxi, Gracie United in Biloxi, Universal MMA out of Lafayette, and continue to grow relationships and rapport with more training facilities. We want people to know that we are here to build up the fight business in the area and treat people fair - WFC is here for the long haul."
Doors open at 7 p.m. with fights starting at 8 p.m. General admission tickets start at $25 and can be purchased at www.wfcfights.com. For VIP and table seating, call 702-336-6707.

Best Shooter AroundBran187 | Oct. 15, 2013 | Review of Battlefield 3 NA Origin (1) - PC
I may have only given BF3 an 85, but don't let my score fool you. This is the best multiplayer shooter around! Everything about this game is epic. Whether its the breathtaking graphics, the massive scale of the multiplayer, the all out vehicle warfare or the sizable selection of weapons and gear to choose from, Battlefield 3 delivers. The destruction is somewhat of a step down from the Bad Company branch of the Battlefield series, but it is still there and has meaningful impact on the battlefield around you and the way you interact with it. At 20USD this game is a steal, its a must have, especially if you have a few buddies to squad up with!
Stunning Scenery, Hooking Story and Amazing Character Arc!Bran187 | Oct. 15, 2013 | Review of Far Cry 3 NA - PC
Taking place in a beautiful semi open world (I say semi open because only half of the map is available to you for about the first half of the game) Far Cry 3 delivers on pretty much every level. Its got a crafting system that is easy and intuitive, phenomenal gunplay and a hooking story. I was unable to put this game down for weeks. It gives you freedom while at the same time focusing you on your objectives which really helps keep you focused on the game, but still feel like your in control of the story. A must have for any hardcore gamer.

Doctrinal preambles: a question of methodology
Of course the secrecy that now surrounds the doctrinal preamble spoken of in the Holy See's communiqué is rather frustrating but entirely proper and correct: in fact it is the only means by which negotiations can carry on in the serene atmosphere in which alone the voice of the Holy Spirit can be heard.
From another perspective, however, we already know what the DP contains and the communiqué said it out loud:
This preamble enunciates some of the doctrinal principles and criteria of interpretation of Catholic doctrine necessary for ensuring fidelity to the Magisterium of the Church and to the sentire cum Ecclesia, while leaving open to legitimate discussion the study and theological explanation of particular expressions and formulations present in the texts of the Second Vatican Council and of the Magisterium that followed it.
In other words, the doctrinal preamble is a methodology; a set of rules which legitimise conclusions. Ontologically, it is the doctrines that matter; logically, it is the method by which one arrives at them which matters. I would not believe in the Gospels if the Church did not tell me they were true, says St Augustine (or something to that effect). The quid, the what of his belief is the Gospel; the quo, the by which of his belief, is the Church's teaching. The means by which we arrive at our conclusions and the importance we accord to them, are crucial when it comes to theology and faith.
In making the DP the condition of any recognition by the Church, Rome - imposing its own conditions after meeting the conditions of the SSPX - is saying that before the SSPX is approved, it has to recognise that the Holy See is the final criterion for judging whether something is in accord with the Faith. It's the methodology! The final criterion is not theological expertise, individual memory or the positivist comparison of past and present teachings.
Back to the hospital now. Thanks for the various messages of prayers. Mrs Ches is well and I hope there will be news later on.

I share your hope for full regularization, but am less optimistic.
The SSPX has indicated it believes the Vatican needs to convert to Catholicism, and this was the stated purpose for the talks, in SSPX communiques.
There are wheels within wheels here, and of course the SSPX has its own "schools" if you will.
My guess- and of course, like everyone else's, it is only that- is the the preamble embodies the principle of the hermeneutic of continuity.
This principle has been explicitly rejected, repeatedly, in SSPX communiques.
Perhaps the SSPX will be wise enough to reconsider, since the hermeneutic of continuity is the only way forward for the Church, in the face of the utterly appalling post-conciliar devastation of the vineyard across the entire world.
I certainly hope so.

For even the most seasoned Olympics observer, understanding changes to the games from one Olympics to the next can be a challenge. The International Olympic Committee (IOC), the supervisory body that governs the Summer and Winter Olympics, decides the competition's program years in advance. So here's what's new with this year's Summer Olympics in London.
One of the biggest changes from the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing is the exclusion of two sporting events: baseball and softball. The decision to eliminate both sports was made by the IOC during a meeting in Singapore in 2005. The decision came down to a vote on which of the then-28 sports would remain in the Olympic program. Baseball and softball failed to secure enough support to remain Olympic events.
This Olympics will be the first to remove events from the program since 1936. Both sports will also not be present at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They are, however, eligible to return to the games, but not until 2020.
For the first time in Olympic history, women will be boxing at the Olympics in three weight classes: flyweight, middleweight, and lightweight. Three women qualified to represent the United States in London, joining the nine men on the national boxing team.
In 2009, the IOC decided to revive mixed doubles in tennis for the 2012 games. The last time mixed doubles was an official event was for 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. Although some of the sport's biggest stars — including Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and Maria Sharapova — have opted out to focus on other events, others, such as Serena Williams and Andy Roddick, are competing in the event, according to Fox News.
Just as the Olympic program can be condensed to remove events, it can also be expanded with additional sports. Advocates from sporting associations lobby the IOC for the inclusion of the event in the Olympics.
In 2005, squash and karate received enough votes to be considered for the program for the 2012 games and beyond. In a final confirmation vote, however, neither sport garnered enough support to make it official.
Other sports that were in contention for inclusion in 2012 were golf, roller sports, rugby, and wake boarding. In 2009, golf and rugby were approved as future events, beginning with the 2016 Olympics. Both sports had previously been eliminated from the Olympic program, golf after 1904 and rugby after the 1924 Olympics.
For the first time in Olympics history, every nation participating in the games will field at least one female athlete. Saudi Arabia, Brunei, and Qatar had been the only holdouts.
Qatar and Brunei were the first to determine that they would have women representing their countries at the 2012 games. One of the four women Qatar is sending to London will be the flag-bearer in the Olympic parade.
Following a wave of criticism against Saudi Arabia's policy of banning women from entering the Olympics, the kingdom relented and will enter two female athletes, who will compete in judo and track and field.
Some 42 percent of athletes competing at the games four years ago in Beijing were women. At the 1908 games, that number was 1.8 percent, according to Voice of America.
The two newest countries on the global stage, Kosovo and South Sudan, will have to wait until at least 2016 to field national teams.
Marathoner Guor Marial, a native of South Sudan who has been living in the United States for more than a decade, will be competing in the Olympics, but since he doesn't hold a South Sudanese passport, and will not run for Sudan, the olympic Committee is allowing him to enter as an independent. He'll wear a uniform associated with no particular country, and, should he medal, an Olympic hymn will play. Kosovo's best chance for an Olympic entry, Majlinda Kelmendi, will be competing for Albania because the IOC doesn't yet recognize Kosovo.

The camps of Kruger
Article By: Richard HolmesTue, 19 Jul 2011 7:34 AM
Stretching some 350-kilometres from north to south, the Kruger National Park is vast and offers seemingly limitless places to stay. If you're on a budget the self-catering accommodation run by SANParks is the best way to stretch your Rands, but if you've got a little cash to burn the bushveld is your oyster.
Ngala Tented Camp
"You slept in a tent?" someone with little love for the great outdoors asked on my return home from Ngala Tented Camp. "I thought you were staying in style!"
But when Ngala 'does' a tent it's a masterpiece. The tent to end all tents. A tent with lofty canvas ceilings, elephantine bed, wicker armchairs, flickering paraffin lamps and an outdoor shower simply made for watching heavenly bodies. Stars… I mean.
The main lodge is chock-full of old world charm, with a deft style that's missing from so many other safari-spots. Stuffed animals on the walls are replaced with a bright African headdress. No zebra skin couch here, just chic retro chairs in green corduroy; rough stone walls in place of tacky prints of Africa's Big Five.
The Ngala (which means 'lion' in Shangaan) reserve itself is a modest 14 000ha, but with fences dropped with the Timbavati to the West and Kruger to the East it's as good as being in the Park itself. And, after your guided game drive, you have that lovely lodge to come back to, not some poorly-pitched tent at the rest camp. Ah yes... if I was going to go camping in the bushveld, Ngala Tented Camp would be my wigwam of choice.
Jock Safari Lodge
Sir Percy Fitzpatrick's bushveld tale about his faithful hound Jock is one of South Africa's best-loved children's stories, and the lodge named in his honour is one of my favourite places to stay in the park.
The lodge boasts 12 luxury air-conditioned suites (each with a private plunge pool) which combine the wilderness with a touch of elegance. Throw in romantic mozzie nets, a bottle of chardonnay in the fridge and stylish décor and you've got the perfect honeymoon getaway.
But don't spend all your time at the pool. With just 24 guests enjoying the 6000ha private concession this is the Kruger you've always dreamed of; without the traffic jams, 'no entry' signs and crowded picnic sites. Sir Percy, and Jock, would be proud.
Singita Lebombo
The jewel in the Singita group's safari crown, each of the 15 suites at Singita Lebombo has been designed to resemble an eagle's nest. A five-star eagle with impeccable taste who likes their home comforts in beak-dropping style, that is.
Raised boardwalks (the lodge is unfenced) lead to your private eyrie where natural textures are perfectly offset by modern touches – a hanging lamp of intricately moulded glass here, a deliciously modern chair there, an iPod on the wall playing the über-cool 'Singita mix' – to make this easily the most stylish safari escape the world has to offer.
Singita Lebombo has exclusive traversing rights to a large chunk of the Kruger National Park and, as you'd expect, the game viewing is excellent with plains game and rhino in abundance. Spotting the famous 26-strong pride of lions that claim the Lebombo Mountain as their own is also a highlight.
At Singita though, enjoying a taste of the good life is every bit as important as finding game. Back at the lodge every meal from Head Chef Clinton Drake's kitchen is a masterpiece, and made all the better accompanied by a fine vintage from the Lodge's 3000-bottle wine cellar.
A stay at Singita Lebombo isn't cheap by any means, but it is certainly worth every cent… this is one of those 'before-I-die' places to add to your list.
Hoyo Hoyo
Set in a 10 000 hectare private concession of Kruger, Hoyo Hoyo Tsonga Lodge offers a fascinating cultural safari experience, with intriguing suites in the form of six traditional Tsonga 'beehive' huts. The lodge is proud of the area's Tsonga heritage, and all fabrics, décor and objet d'art have been sourced from the local Tsonga community.
Staff at the lodge are happy to share the Tsonga way of life with guests, and fireside tribal tales over dinner are a regular highlight. In addition to the guided walks, bush picnics and traditional game drives in 'Big Five' country, the Nomadic Spa Experience allows you to experience relaxing spa treatments in the privacy of your beehive suite.
If you're looking for something more rewarding than furry creatures and fine food in the wilderness, this cultural experience is for you.
Sabi Sand may not officially be part of Kruger, but no other private reserve has done quite so much to establish the region as one of the world's wildlife hotspots. Renowned for its big cat sightings, the reserve has over two dozen lodges, but you couldn't ask for a better base to spot feisty felines than Kirkman's Camp.
Harking back to a time when visitors hunted big game with carbines, not Canons, the lodge's 1920s colonial atmosphere has a charm all of its own, and an evening G&T on the lawns is simply compulsory. Dinner is similarly al fresco, served by candlelight on the grass (with curious warthogs in attendance) or in the outdoor boma.
The 18 rooms are spread out a little way from the lodge, and with no fences keeping the animals out you'll need an escort back to your room in case you bump into some grumpy bachelor buffalo. Although not as grand as many other lodges, the rooms are more than comfortable with a cosy yester-year charm and private verandas offering sweeping views over the Sand River.
Pestana Kruger Lodge
Just outside Kruger's southern Malelane gate you'll find the four-star Pestana Kruger Lodge, a great option for an affordable Kruger getaway.
Each of the lodge's 74 rooms offer views of the indigenous gardens or the Crocodile River, which forms the border between the Lodge and the park. With hippos a-splashin' and game coming down to drink you hardly need leave the hotel to go game-spotting!
Unlike most other lodges you also have a choice of restaurants at Pestana; from Buhlebethu and Crocofellas overlooking the river to the outdoor Boma braai experience there's something to suit most pockets.
Money matters aside, this is also a great spot for families – there's a health spa for mum, supertube and games for the kids and a selection of golf courses nearby for dad. The lodge is less than a kilometre from the gate, but don't forget you will need to pay entrance fees each time you enter the Park.

By Nick Caruso
Their agent was not in my area which also led to me assisting the purchaser with his inspections. I had spent so many hours on this transaction that the money wasn't even an issue for me any longer. I just wanted it closed for my young Coast Guard family, so they could move on with their lives. We finally closed and recorded.
I have to say that the service this family has given us for our freedom drove me to get this transaction closed. The bank's relationship manager never responded to me the week before closing, but two days after settlement I received an email asking me when the closing date was. I responded back to him that we had closed two days ago and thanked them for never returning my calls – just another case of the bank not knowing what is going on with its files!
I wish each and every REALTOR® the best when dealing with banks on short sales. Don't let them get the best of you."

Let's face it. In our increasingly mobile world, wireless and portable is the way of the future. And so this applies to speakers too. Here are some of our top picks for best bluetooth portable speakers under the price of $100.
iHome iDM11 Rechargable Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Speakerphone
The iDM11 is a pretty impressive looking speaker that is simple but stylish. It gives decent sound and even comes with speakerphone functions. Best of all, whatever the industry favorite Jambox can give, iDM11 can too and more. Of course in terms of quality of sound, it is still pretty modest.
Get the iHome iDM11 Bluetooth Speaker from Amazon
iHome iDM8 Bluetooth Speaker Speaker
Want an even more stylish and less boxy speaker? The iHome iDM8 is your answer. Spotting a spherical shape, it sounds pretty similar to the iDM11, but without the speakerphone capabilities. It's spherical shape also causes the sound to be spread out in a 360-degree fashion rather than focused in one direction.
Get the iHome iDM8 Bluetooth Speaker
Monster iClarity HD Precision Micro Bluetooth Speaker 100
Certainly not as stylistically designed as iHome's bluetooth speakers, but what it lacks in aesthetics, it makes up for in terms of sound quality. At its size, the sound it produces is pretty good.
Logitech Mini Boombox
The Logitech Mini Boombox looks more like an alarm clock than a bluetooth speaker. It produces a warmer tone than that produced by iClarityHD and comes with speakerphone and microphone functionalities. Supposed to offer 10 hours of play-back time.
Get the Logitech Mini Boombox at Amazon
Creative D100
Of course in the world of affordable speakers, how can we leave out Creative? The D100 is bigger than the other earlier models but probably gives the best value for money. It's double 3-inch drivers gives pretty impressive bass and runs on 4 AA batteries. However it lacks a remote control.
Get the Logitech D100 at Amazon
Logitech Z515 Wireless Speaker
Another player in the market that cannot be ignored is Logitech and their Z515 speaker. It has a very solid and quality feel about it. It includes a wireless USB adapter but fairly average sound quality. It has no speakerphone and no remote control.
Get the Logitech Z515 at Amazon
Soundfreaq Sound Kick
Finally to end our list, it is the Soundfreaq's first bluetooth speaker manufactured. It has a pleasant clean look, almost like a battery and a USB charging port. The Sound Kick can produce quite a loud punch in terms of volume but sound quality is still average. It has a built-in rechargable battery giving 7 hours of play time. It is also probably the most expensive speaker of this entire list.

5 Hold-Rated Dividend Stocks To Check Out: CPWR, RRD, POT, VALE, WRI
R.R. Donnelley & Sons CompanyDividend Yield: 6.40% R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (NASDAQ: RRD) shares currently have a dividend yield of 6.40%. R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company provides integrated communication solutions to private and public sectors worldwide. The average volume for R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company has been 2,398,800 shares per day over the past 30 days. R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company has a market cap of $3.0 billion and is part of the diversified services industry. Shares are up 81.5% year to date as of the close of trading on Tuesday. TheStreet Ratings rates R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, good cash flow from operations and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and poor profit margins. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- RRD's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 7.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.7%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, RRD's share price has jumped by 43.63%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- The gross profit margin for DONNELLEY (R R) & SONS CO is rather low; currently it is at 23.26%. It has decreased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 2.54% trails that of the industry average.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed against the S&P 500 and did not exceed that of the Commercial Services & Supplies industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 26.4% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $88.80 million to $65.40 million.

SWAINSBORO, Ga. -- A husband is in jail after investigators say he killed his wife on Thanksgiving Day.
Swainsboro Police Chief Randy Ellison confirmed officers are charging 41-year-old James Rountree Jr. with murder.
Officers were called to the couple's home on Watson Street Thanksgiving Day between 10:30 and 10:45 p.m. in reference to a domestic dispute.
When investigators got to the scene, they knocked on the front door twice before the husband responded. Officers say he told them not to come in or he would harm his wife, 26-year-old Maegan Salter Rountree.
After some negotiations, Rountree opened the door. Investigators found his wife dead in the family's bedroom from what officers believe is a single stab wound to the upper chest. She was taken to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Investigators say this followed an ongoing domestic problem within the home.

Hi Blackhatters,
Greetings! I have been wanting to jump into Youtube+PPD, but I still dont know which PPD network is the highest paying and is legit? Can someone tell me please?
Thank you for your time.
Hi Blackhatters,
Greetings! I have been wanting to jump into Youtube+PPD, but I still dont know which PPD network is the highest paying and is legit? Can someone tell me please?
Thank you for your time.
Cleanfiles is good.
Also, it's owner is a member here.
cleanfiles is the best for you
This member has been permanently banned from BHW.
How much does CleanFiles pay per download?
I just checked on CleanFiles and I could see that they have a lot of problems with the website and the money we earn per dowload is not really huge as compared to using CPA.
tRy File Ice
Almost all of them are legit, almost non of them are high paying.
I just read a thread about FileIce, it looks that after someone fills an offer, they are forced to fill another offer, which decreases the patient and then, we would not get the lead
file ice and cleanfiles are best at the moment for me...
Yes, definitely Fileice.
I wrote a guide exclusively for Blackhatworld on how to get approved into Fileice the fastest way - see it here: http://www.how2methods.blogspot.com/
try dollarupload as well
You might think I'm stupid or trolling, but Sharecash is actually the best one I've tried. They used to be shit about a year ago, but have improved, EXTREMELY! I actually switched FROM FileIce to Sharecash, because of how amazing they are. FileIce has turned to shit. They pay 20 days late, and absolutely terrible support, and completely shit security. I know at least 10 guys who's accounts got hacked, and the admins refused to help. Sharecash is fucking amazing. They pay me bi-weekly (I earn at least $50 a day.) and I always get paid on time, or early. Trust me on this, Sharecash is the way.
This is some stats from File Ice
And this is some stats from Adwork Media
Cleanfiles and fileice are the most reliable right now.
im tring sharecash now
file ice for you.
i think file ice is the a good ppd site,if you want some help you can ask me
Im like as posted above. I've been using clean files and I average .50 a download. I average like .95 with share cash.
Why can't I register into FileIce?
I started using Cleanfiles recently, and they have a nice interface and are known to be really legit.
Do you know whats the difference between CPA and PPD?
(PPD can't pay you as much as a CPA network can pay you, because PPD gives you CPA network's offers to promote while keeping a percentage from each offer's actual payout. Therefore, you can't ever compare a PPD with CPA. CPA is dad and PPD is Dad's lovely kid)
1- Owner of file has set the option that a visitor can download the file after completing "X" offers (X = 1,2,3,4,5,67 anything)
2- The offer that is being completed by visitor, has problem that its not providing postback link or any kind of indication where PPD site can understand or get an indication that the offer is completed successfully and now the visitor is allowed to download the file.
Therefore, either its file owner's decision of not letting you get the file after completing one offer, or the problem is at CPA network's end!
You can face this problem with any PPD site either its FI or CF or SC etc..
I think I have clarified your misconceptions in a better way!

Looking for something to watch on Netflix. Give these shows a chance and see if you like them. If not tell me what you like to watch on instant streaming.
Lost Girl is like Buffy without the teen angst and like True Blood with intelligent characters. Lost Girl is about a woman whose lovers end up dead trying to find out what she is. Add in a awesome best friend, a cast of cool characters, and non-conformist relationships with mythological creatures makes this a great watch for anyone. Its fun and intelligent. Give it a try and see if you like it.
Firefly was a short lived by highly loved sci-fi show from Joss Wheden. Its great watching these space cowboys in this cult classic.
Farscape a great down the rabbit hole sci-fi. An astronaut gets sent through a wormhole and has to deal with a universe of weird and bad.
AMC shows Man Men, Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead are all great dramas worth watching.
Animated Shows:
Marvel Animated Shows are a great go. Relive your childhood with X-Men the animated series, X-Men Evolution and Spider-Man the animated series, or see some short lived but incredible shows with Wolverine and the X-Men and Avengers Earth Mightiest Heroes.
G.I. Joe: Renegade is another animated show that did not get all that it deserved. Great, fun characters fighting to clear their name in this modern take on an old classic.
Transformers Prime is the new transformers show and its really good.
Beast Wars is an old transformers show and an all time favorite of mine.
British Shows:
The Brits make great shows. You can watch some Doctor Who and Torchwood for your sci-fi itch. The Inbetweeners will fill your comedy needs with its awkward adolescent greatness. Sherlock will show you why Benedict Cumberbatch is a mad genius and Martian Freeman is the greatest and most tolerant friend in the world.
Lets start with That 70's Show. Its my favorite sit-com ever. That 70's Show followers a burnout geek with girl troubles and no plan for the future. He has moronic friends and the best parents ever. Seasons 4-7 are the best in my opinion.
The Office is as everyone knows an office comedy. Its best seasons are 2-5.
Arrested Development takes the dysfunctional family to the next level. Its a cult favorite that has received widespread love. Check it out before the new season starts.
FX's comedies are something else. Archer is a great animated comedy about a self-absorbed narcissistic spy with mommy issues. Always Sunny in Philadelphia is about what would happen if the worst people in the world owned a bar. The League is what happens when you have the same friends from high school to marriage with the same hobby, fantasy football.

Visit Bad Black Babes
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
You wouldn't normally use the word "bad" to describe something good, but if you're talking about Bad Black Babes, well then "bad" most definitely means good. These ebony hotties are very good at being bad and they prove it by skillfully sucking cock and fucking until their bodies are covered with sticky cum. However, all of the cum-covered ebony hotties here can also be seen on Just Ebony Sex.
BadBlackBabes and its twin, JustEbonySex, are hardcore sites on which black beauties screw their way through 284 videos and about 200 sets of pictures. None of the material is exclusive, but just about all of it is worth a look if you're into watching black gals being naughty with one or more sexual partners.
The videos can all be downloaded and they come in parts. About half are also available for download as full-length files. The quality of the films and the format they come in varies, but you can save the vids in Windows Media format and/or MP4s and they offer mostly average-quality playback.
Like the movies, the photos vary in quality, but a good number of them are high-res. Regardless of picture quality, each gallery can be saved in a Zip file. That's handy because you can't save your favorites on this site, so you'll want to save as much as you can so you'll always know where your faves are.
My best guess is that they add more ebony hardcore smut about once every two weeks. In between updates, you can go check out the bonus content that includes video and picture feeds and a ton of other sites, like Booty Studio and Ebony Ass Porno. All of these sites can also be accessed on the network's mega-site, All Porn Sites Pass.
There's a lot of good ebony porn to see on Bad Black Babes and on the bonus sites that come along with it, but to fully appreciate the extras you'll have to be interested in more than just ebony cuties. You can get a lot of smut and a lot of variety here, but you'll have to deal with the fact that it's nonexclusive.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

How To Make Spicy Pumpkin & Black Eyed Pea Stew
For the Bean Stew:
¼ cup peanut oil
1 large onion, diced
2 large carrots, sliced
1 green or red pepper, seeded and chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1 cup vegetable stock
2 (14 ounce) cans black-eyed peas
Freshly Ground Pepper
Tabasco, to taste
For the Spicy Pumpkin:
2 tablespoons butter
1 ½ pounds pumpkin flesh, cubed
1 medium onion, chopped finely
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tomatoes, skinned and chopped
2 teaspoons garam masala
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
To make the bean stew:
Sauté the onion, carrots, pepper, garlic, thyme and spices in the oil, for about 5 minutes.
Add the stock and increase heat, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer.
Stir in the beans and season to taste with salt and pepper and Tabasco.
Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, adding more stock or water as necessary, until
the vegetables are tender.
To make the spicy pumpkin:
Melt butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat.
Add the pumpkin, onion, garlic, tomatoes, spices and 1 cup water.
Stir well and simmer, covered until the pumpkin is tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
To serve, place some rice in the bottom of a bowl, add some black-eyed bean stew to one side and the spicy pumpkin on the other.
Amy Riolo: My black-eyed pee stew with spicy pumpkin is a great African inspired dish that the whole family will love.
To get started, let's turn our pan on to medium high and then we're going to be using about a quarter cup of peanut oil. We're just going to heat that and then I'll go ahead and add my onions and next I'll do my carrot and then I'm going to add in my red bell pepper.
So next I'm going to start adding in my herbs and spices and I've got some thyme here. Next, I'll add in my paprika and now I'm going to add in the garam masala. Now I've got my garlic and I'm just going to mix everything together. So now I'll add my salt and a little bit of pepper. I'm going to let my vegetable saut for about five minutes just until they are a little bit tender.
So now it's time to go ahead and add out black-eyed peas. You just want to stir everything around and get it incorporated. Now I'm going to turn my heat down to low at this point and now I'll add in my vegetable stock and the last thing is to add a little bit of tobasco sauce. Now I'm going to turn my heat up to high. As soon as it boils we'll turn it back down to low, cover it and then let it simmer for 15 minutes.
While our black-eyed peas to a simmering, we can go ahead and start making our spicy pumpkin. The first thing that we're going to do is to melt our butter. Once the butter coats the bottom of the pan, we can go ahead and add in our pumpkin and I'm just going to stir it and get it nice and coated with the butter.
And then next we'll add in our onions, the next our tomatoes. Then I'm going to add in the garlic and my garam masala spice mixture. So now my mixture is coming up to a boil, we're going to cover it and let it simmer about 15-20 minutes and last we're going to add a half of a cup of water and since it's already boiling I'm just going to lower my heat to low and then I'm going to cover it and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
There we have our black-eyed pea stew with spicy pumpkin, an African-American favorite that makes eating healthy and fun.

Camp Little Hope develops humorous, considered means of imaging deep time and focused research on the power of information design to alter our relationship to the commons. Camp Little Hope imagines new worlds through curatorial interventions, designed artifacts, information design, and catalyzed epiphanies. Our different practices explore these ideas through proprioceptive museum installations, free algorithmic restaurants, sustainable energy initiatives, traveling libraries, alternative institutional forms and robots.
Camp Little Hope was commissioned to create a public artwork for Elsewhere's South Elm Projects. As we began our research into the South Elm neighborhood we discovered that much of the available historical material came from reports and research published by the Chamber of Commerce. These materials focused on the neighborhood through the lenses of business interests and classic economic development.
We began to wonder what an alternative set of documents might look like. We envisioned publications focused on the many resources that escape notice when viewed through a traditional economic perspective. Community, not as a collection of infrastructure and services, but as relationships and interdependence. Economy, not measured in total revenues but in the impact of meaningful work and fair compensation. Development, not in dollars invested but in connections created and problems solved. Culture that already thrives in our neighborhoods instead of something that needs to be introduced.
Project Website
A climate change and biosecurity garden that connects the town center with a new railway platform. Planted species are selected for their resistance to predicted conditions, and threatened features of the field are highlighted with landscaping and signage. When mature, the garden will consist of a wildflower meadow, a small orchard, a tree-lined path, and a raised flower bed. The garden design adopts local visual vernacular, so while it explicitly warns of local effects of global issues it is camouflaged within the expected view from a countryside train platform. This approach allows the project to co-opt the landscape surrounding Dol Corwenna through visual association: after visiting the field you might see the Welsh landscape itself as an evolving indicator of global conditions.
Camp Little Hope returned to Corwen to launch the Corwen Field Stwdio. The Corwen Field Stwdio explored how an arts-led awareness of the local environment - built, natural, and cultural - can shape community-conscious regeneration efforts. Events, workshops, and exhibitions took place at 15 Bridge Street (the Old Spar), The Field Beside the Car Park, and around Corwen. The Stwdio worked with local groups, residents, artists, and schoolchildren to explore roles art and The Field could play in Corwen. Corwen Field Stwdio investigated models for a future residency program and demonstrated how an art project can be a community collaboration that helps shape the development of Corwen. Corwen Field Stwdio Website
Camp Little Hope was commissioned by the Corwen Partnership, the Arts Council of Wales, and Addo, to imagine creative uses for a field that separates Corwen's Town Square from the future platform of the Llangollen Railway. We developed three long term strategies for the field and town: Gardd Ceridwen (a platform for exploring biosecurity), the Toiledau Residency, and the Wayfinding project. We explored specific aspects of each strategy through art interventions.
Comisiynwyd Camp Little Hope Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru, Partneriaeth Corwen ac Addo i ddychmygu defnydd creadigol ar gyfer cae sy'n gwahanu Sgwâr y Dref Corwen oddi wrth ddarpar blatfform Rheilffordd Llangollen. Rydym wedi datblygu tair strategaeth tymor hir ar gyfer y cae a'r dref: Gardd Cerridwen (platfform ar gyfer archwilio bioddiogelwch), y Toiledau Preswyl, a phrosiect Canfod Ffordd. Drwy ymyriadau celf, rydym wedi archwilio agweddau penodol o bob strategaeth gyda'r cyhoedd.
The Bibotorium was an educational saloon and public think-tank. Camp Little Hope explored the future of water in Philadelphia through conversations with our visitors: tourists, neighbors, students, amateurs and experts. During the Hidden City Festival we worked on site, designing solutions to various issues affecting Philadelphia's water and building boats to reference the implications of future water environments. By creating a space that is both social and scientific, we encouraged radical and imaginative conversations to address serious problems.

The questions lead to different places each time, from community engagement with urban planning initiative Områdefornyelsen in Copenhagen, to developing educational resources at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts in Norwich and setting up fictional consultancy firms to nourish street life in her hometown. She keeps one foot in the sea at all times.

Featured your wonderful piece of art here:
Thank you for sharing it with us, and a Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! + featuresIf you think about it, today is no different than any other day of the year. Sure, the calendar for the year 2013 ended, and when we write the date today it's a different year than it was yesterday. But our year might have just as well ended three weeks ago. Or six months ago. Or tomorrow. Nothing happened yesterday that was of any consequence. There was no cosmological event that switched the year. It's totally random.
And yet, there's something slightly magical about starting a new year. It's like starting a new diary, or going outside for the first time after a snowfall, when all you see outside is an untouched, glittering plain; and it will be your footsteps that make the first marks.
Happy New Year, and may it be the most wonderful yet!
Let's make a mark in this new, magical year with our art!

Books & Reference
by RabugenTom
Download this app if: you need an app that can generate chords diagrams.
Developer Notes
Chord! is at the same time the simplest and the most complete chords and scales app for guitar or any fretted instrument like bass, ukulele, banjo, etc.
Unlike other chord charts app, Chord! doesn't rely on a database of charts. Instead, it computes and analyses all the possible fingerings.
I love It! — Chords can get very complex the more you progress with playing the guitar so with this app whenever you forget where a finger is meant to be or on which fret to place it the answer lies within your pocket.

text: (Vatican Radio) Concrete cooperation among Churches and ecclesial communities as they continue their search for full, visible unity: the major ecumenical challenges and opportunities facing global Christianity in 2014; the influence of Pope Francis on the tone and climate of ecumenical dialogue over the past year; these are just a few of the issues that will be under consideration at the 8th International Conference on Hope in the Ecumenical Future, sponsored by the Ecclesiological Investigations organization and taking place in Ripon College and Oxford from April 9-11.Vatican Radio's Philippa Hitchen is scheduled to be a featured speaker at the conference, which she previewed for us in a conversation with her colleague, Linda Bordoni."[Participants] come from a wide variety of Christian denominations," Philippa explained, "Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican - also Pentecostals and Evangelicals - and they're usually young, up-and-coming scholars and authors, professors amongst them - and mainly, they are people who do not represent the voice of an institution." Asked what will be her main focus, Philippa said, "They've asked me to speak on 'witnessing hope: urbi et orbi' - and that's [a topic] partly based on a conversation I had with one of the organisers, talking about how privileged it is in a way to be here [in Rome], to be able to meet with so many of the leaders of other Churches, who come to talk with Pope Francis." Listen to Linda and Philippa's extended conversation:
