CONTACT Summer Peacebuilding Program
After attending CONTACT, I became more moderate and enlightened in my thoughts and no longer think the way I had about certain issues. CONTACT gave me skills to promote peace and nonviolence, which I couldn't previously do despite having a deep desire to do so.
Aamir Gamaryani, Pakistan, CONTACT participant
The CONTACT Summer Peacebuilding Program is a three-week professional and academic program in conflict transformation. The first two weeks of the program take place on the SIT Graduate Institute campus in Brattleboro, Vermont, and the final week of the program takes place in Washington, DC. The program serves the needs of working professionals who want to further their skills and knowledge in peacebuilding, as well as those who plan to pursue a graduate degree in conflict transformation.
The program explores ways to confront the past, intervene in the present, and create a shared vision for a secure and sustainable future. Through a combination of readings, discussions, and experiential activities with faculty, participants develop a full range of peacebuilding skills and techniques.
Participants benefit from the unique opportunity to be in a diverse multicultural setting and share experiences and knowledge. Each year, peacebuilders from more than 30 countries around the world come to Vermont to participate in this program.
Musicians without Borders, Music Connects
For 2016, CONTACT is pleased to announce a two-week professional training program in community music leadership and conflict transformation in conjunction with Musicians without Borders (MWB). The training is open to musicians and music students who are active in their communities as workshop leaders, teachers, or social activists and who would like to further their knowledge of using music as a tool for peacebuilding and social change. The first week of training will be led by CONTACT's international staff and will focus on key concepts in peacebuilding and community development. The second week of the training will be led by MWB's professional trainers who specialize in running community music projects with people dealing with trauma, fear, and isolation as a result of war and conflict. If applying only for this two-week session, please be sure to select "Musicians Without Borders" under the "Affiliations" drop-down menu in the CONTACT application.

- Professional trainings and workshops to develop knowledge, skills, and awareness around key concepts in peacebuilding and community development
- Cultural events to share CONTACT's diverse participant experiences with the local Brattleboro and Washington, DC, communities
CONTACT courses:
Peacebuilding I: Conflict Transformation and Global Relations – SIT Campus, Brattleboro, VT (2 credits)
This two-week core course serves as a learning laboratory for multicultural community building, self-reflection, and the deepening of relationships with others across differences of experience, culture, and history. Course content focuses on the complex and interrelated causes and dimensions of protracted violent conflict, the recurrent cycles of conflicts, and the steps that lead to healing and reconciliation. This course introduces micro-skills such as the fundamentals of mediation, negotiation, facilitation, and training, as well as strategies for change in places of communal conflict.
Peacebuilding II: Professional Practices in Peacebuilding – Washington, DC (1 credit)
This course provides opportunities for students to build on the awareness and skills developed in Peacebuilding I: Conflict Transformation and Global Relations through interactions with officials and NGOs in the Washington, DC, area. Participants choose one elective. Recently offered sections include:
- Peacebuilding and Development
Peacebuilding and Development explores the effects of war economies, trade, and globalization on peacebuilding, and provides participants with an opportunity to reflect on and share practical approaches to development and peacebuilding. It examines the interests and needs of various actors in development, as well as the complex web of relationships that need to be developed and sustained if the century ahead is ultimately going to be the start of a Millennium of Peace.
- Strategies for Change Agents
The Strategies for Change Agents course considers the multiple options available to individuals doing change work in conflict settings. Interactive discussions will focus on the limits and possibilities of specific change strategies, the circumstances that may make one pathway to achieving change more viable than others, and the mechanics of designing and launching a change initiative. Each participant will select one specific conflict to work on throughout the elective. With that conflict in mind, each will design a conflict transformation and change project based on the following sequence of steps: analysis, theory of change, project design, project implementation, and project monitoring and evaluation.

Nobody's Fool by Richard Russo
Join us for a discussion of "Nobody's Fool" by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Russo. It is the Library's One Book, Everybody Reads selection this year. With sly humor and great affection, the novel follows the unexpected operation of grace in a deadbeat town in upstate New York--and in the life of one of its unluckiest citizens, Sully, who has been doing the wrong thing triumphantly for fifty years.
June 14, 10:30
The Country of the Pointed Firs and Other Stories by Sarah Orne Jewett
Join us to discuss Sarah Orne Jewett's classic of literary regionalism, "The Country of the Pointed Firs and other Stories." With warmth and compassion Jewett created vivid portraits of Maine coastal natives at the turn of the twentieth century, a time of rapidly disappearing traditions, manners, and dialects.
Meet in the Auditorium, 7-8:00 p.m.
June 22, 7:00
Everybody's Fool by Richard Russo
Join us to discuss Richard Russo's "Everybody's Fool," the sequel to the author's 1993 novel, Nobody's Fool. In the new novel, Mr. Russo returns to North Bath and the players that made Nobody's Fool his first great success. The novel is classic Russo, filled with humor, heart, hard times, and characters who are lovable despite all their faults. Both books are featured in the 2016 One Book, Everybody Reads series. In addition, this program is part of the Library's three-part book discussion series, Revisiting Our Winners: New Books by One Book Authors.

A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety by Jimmy Carter
In his major New York Times bestseller, Jimmy Carter looks back from ninety years of age. Though not considerable memorable as a President, Jimmy Carter went on to become a statesman, humanitarian, and Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Along the way he has been an accomplished submariner, farmer, election monitor, philanthropist, carpenter, teacher, and public servant. He is also a poet and a painter and examples of both arts appear in his latest memoir.
Wednesday, May 18, 11:00 (NOTE: third Wednesday of May)
Waiting for Gautreaux: A Story of Segregation, Housing, and the Black Ghetto by Alexander Polikoff
Special Guest: Author Alexander Polikoff will join the discussion
"Sometimes Kafkaesque, sometimes simply inspiring, and never less than absorbing, the story of Gautreaux, told by its principal lawyer, moves with ease through local and national civil rights history, legal details, political matters, and the personal costs--and rewards--of a commitment to fairness, equality, and justice. Both the memoir of a dedicated lawyer, and the narrative of a tenacious pursuit of equality, this story--itself a critical, still-unfolding chapter in recent American history--urges us to take an essential step in ending the racial inequality that Alexis de Toqueville prophetically named America's most formidable evil."

works (such as a standard medical text dealing with the nature of a disease221) may be admissible in evidence under this exception. Dictionaries222 may also be offered as evidence of the meaning of English words.
The main area of application of the common law principles on statements made in former proceedings is in relation to transcripts of evidence. Such transcripts are admissible in evidence223 on the same (or substantially the same) issue in subsequent proceedings between the same parties (or those in privity with them), provided that the transcripts are appropriately authenticated (for example, 'by calling the shorthand writer who took the original note'224), and the witness in question was subject to cross- examination and is now dead or too ill225 to attend the subsequent proceedings or has been kept out of the way by the other party. The mere fact that the witness is outside the jurisdiction or cannot be found would appear not to suffice.226 The Court of Appeal has held227 that, even where admissible in evidence, transcripts of previous testimony may be excluded in the discretion of the trial judge if it would be unfair to the accused to admit the evidence. 'It may be that the absence of opportunity to observe the demeanour of the witness could be a powerful factor to be taken into account in considering the exercise of such discretion.' It was also emphasized that this particular exclusionary discretion was available in respect of prosecution evidence only--a rare recognition that evidential principles need not apply equally to both parties in a criminal trial.
It has been seen in this Chapter that the formally recognized situations in which what may otherwise be hearsay evidence can be admitted at common law are many and varied. Exceptions to the hearsay rule are often justified on the basis that evidence admitted under these exceptions is likely to be reliable. However, just as application of the hearsay rule per se may result in____________________

text: California Bones is the first volume in my trilogy about Daniel Blackland, a wizard trying to survive in a world that eats wizards. It's a book about friends and family, trust and betrayal, the love of power and the power of love. But at its core, it's a heist novel—and you can't have a heist without a crew. So, here they are, wonderfully rendered by Goñi Montes.

She was 15 years old--an accomplished student-athlete from a loving home, the kind of kid of whom it is said "she has the world going for her."
In November of 2015, her father went in to her room to discover she had taken her own life.
Back in their days, Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft were known for trust-busting. In an era of price-fixing, crony capitalism and corruption their actions helped to create more opportunities in the marketplace by creating competition.

Brand new to Vizio and this forum. Plugged in the TV and went to access Amazon App and I get an error that says it is not available.
Any advice? Help?
Hi Dave,
Amazon App is only available in the US. Are you by chance a user outside the country? If so the launcher should have been removed on second boot up of the TV once we establish that you are not in the US. Apologies for the inconvenience.
I am in the U.S. Response from Vizio is that the app does not work on 2014 TV's. Not pleased.
This is what is going on vizio sold me 2 new tv.s with the amazon app clearly on the box and amazon has turned off the app for ALL 2014 vizio tvs so they can sell more of the new tv top boxes its a total scam... HUGH RIPOFF
Please refer to this link: https://answers.vizio.com/hc/en-us/articles/201256814-Amazon-Instant-Video-Availability
I have a new vizio tv, 70 inch, it was replaced under warranty because there was a defect with the one I bought. vizio was very helpful. the amazon app worked great on the tv I bought. however since the replacement is newer the app is not working and here's why. all new smart tv apps must include close captioning. amazon is one of the smart tv apps that did not have this available. so they are building it now. I am told it should be ready and uploaded to all the smart TV's within the month.

text: A 7.9 magnitude earthquake rocked most of China on Monday killing several thousand people. At this point it is believed that nearly 10,000 have been killed by an earthquake that was the strongest seen in several decades. At one school, almost 900 students -- all eighth-graders and ninth-graders, were believed to be buried by rubble. On Monday night at least 50 bodies were pulled from the rubble at another school. Meanwhile, 2,300 people were buried in two collapsed chemical plants in Sichuan's Shifang city while 80 tons of ammonia leaked out. Six hundred people died there. The plants were among a series of buildings that collapsed, including private homes, schools and factories as the earthquake continued. The last major earthquake in the region occurred in the epicenter area when a 7.5-magnitude quake killed more than 9,300 people on August 25, 1933.

Don't play games online, they say. If you have to play games online, turn off chat. If you have to turn on chat, limit it to your friends list. In the past, if you've wanted to avoid the toxic jerks of online gaming, those have been your guidelines. It feels like that's finally changing.

I have had friends make this recipe with cream of mushroom soup also and they loved it.
I also prefer the tater tots to be crispy on top and put the oven on broil for a couple of seconds before removing it from the oven.
This is a quick and easy dinner and can be eaten along with a salad or green beans. It can also be pre-made and placed in the refrigerator for several hours.
Everyone went back for seconds. Complete hit with the family. I used extra crispy tater tots and added corn for extra texture. Would also be great with green beans added.
I have made this so many times and everytime I do, there is silence at the dinner table! :) My family absolutely loves it and it's so easy!!

Goalkeeper Craig Samson revealed this week he has turned down a take it or leave it offer from the Paisley outfit, while deals for his team-mates Paul McGowan, Graham Carey and Sam Parkin also expire in the summer.
But Lennon says he has put those matters to one side while he places his full attention on holding off a resurgent Dundee side.
The Dens Park club's 2-1 win at St Mirren Park last weekend reduced the gap separating them and the Buddies at the bottom of the SPL to just 10 points with 12 to play for.
A win over Hibernian at Easter Road on Saturday, however, will guarantee safety for Saints while sending the Dark Blues back to the First Division and that is all Lennon is thinking about.
He told Press Association Sport: "I've put all contractual stuff on hold this week just so I can get back to concentrating on what we need to do, which is pick up points. Dundee are fighting for their lives and John (Brown) has come in and done a terrific job. They have nothing to lose now and are just going for it game after game."
Lennon says he "respects" Samson's decision to decline the offer of a new deal but he has not given up all hope of retaining the services of Portuguese striker Esamel Goncalves.
The on-loan Rio Ave frontman - who returns for the Leith trip after serving a two-match ban for diving against Celtic last month - has earned himself iconic status amongst the Paisley faithful after grabbing one of the goals in the Buddies' 3-2 Scottish Communities League Cup final success over Hearts.
His parent club have already announced they expect to see the player back in Portugal at the end of the season and may look to sell him on for a profit.
St Mirren simply do not have the budget to make a bid themselves but Lennon hopes the potential to further develop a player who has scored six goals in 11 outings for Saints may persuade Rio Ave to send him back for a second loan stint.

As a pilot, he was careful and more serious than others about caring for his plane and planning his flights around weather and where he would stop, an airport official said.
William Michael Gilliland, 46, was an experienced pilot.
For his 30th birthday, his wife, Angie, got him his first flight lesson, and soon after in 1998 he earned his pilot's license. Most recently, he was working on getting his instrument rating, which would certify that he could fly an aircraft using just the gauges in the plane through clouds or storms.
"He was a person who showed a lot of attention to detail," airport manager Rusty Nichols said.
Gilliland died after his plane crashed into the Lakeview neighborhood Friday afternoon, less than a quarter-mile from where it took off at the Greenwood Municipal Airport.
The plane was in the air for only minutes, and airport employees noticed it was smoking and didn't sound right after take-off, according to a news release from the coroner's office.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.
Gilliland, who lived in the Center Grove area, was vice president of business transformation at Simon Property Group. He also was active at SS. Francis & Clare Catholic Church, where he helped found the church's school and develop its technology program and served on the school board. He and his wife have two daughters, Grace and Sophie.
He had bought the single-engine 1991 Mooney aircraft a couple years ago, the coroner's release said. He was a member of the Mooney Aircraft Pilots Association and loved aviation and technology.
On Friday, Gilliland and his flight instructor, Michael Elliott, were headed to Texas for the plane's annual inspection. Elliott also was on the flight because Gilliland was working to get his instrument rating, according to the coroner's release. Elliott was in critical condition Sunday afternoon at Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital.
The plane was in the air fewer than two minutes, and then crashed, striking two homes and landing in a backyard just south of the airport, Greenwood Assistant Police Chief Matt Fillenwarth said. Officials said the plane lost power shortly after take-off.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash. In every fatal plane crash, the federal board sends an investigator to interview witnesses and check paperwork, such as the flight plan, spokesman Peter Knudson said. The federal agency typically sends a company to retrieve the plane. Workers hauled away the plane Saturday afternoon.
Preliminary autopsy results show Gilliland died from crash injuries, and also had burns from the plane catching fire, Chief Deputy Coroner Dave Lutz said. The coroner's investigation will be finished once the office gets results from toxicology tests, which are required for fatal accidents. The standard tests show whether a person was impaired by medication or any other substance.
Investigators will study the pieces of the plane to check, for example, if the flight controls were working in the air and if the aircraft lost pieces, such as a tail, before crashing, Knudson said. A full investigation of a fatal crash typically takes 12 months, he said.
The investigation also will check what the weather conditions were, the plane's maintenance history and the pilot's medical history to look for any factors that could have caused the crash. The investigation also considers whether a pilot was fatigued, pilot licenses and ratings and flight experience, Knudson said.

New Thunder commercial from The Oklahoman and NewsOK.com ready for the playoffs
Just in time for the NBA playoffs, we have produced another commercial promoting The Oklahoman's coverage of the Thunder. The Oklahoman and NewsOK.com are the only state media that covers every game during the season, home and on the road. And that coverage continues throughout the Thunder's run in the playoffs.
We won an Emmy last year for this Thunder commercial. I think this one is even better. The spot will air during the NBA postseason and can be seen on Cox cable and Fox Sports Oklahoma.
This being the Internet, you can watch right here, right now.
It's a similar concept, mixing photography and time lapse video to create a spot that promotes energy and excitement.
Kyle Roberts, Todd Fraser and Sara Miller combined Photoshop and After Effects talents. We used images from this season by directory of photography Doug Hoke's talented photographers. Roberts shot time lapse video at last Friday's Thunder game at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Many thanks to the Thunder organization for their assistance with access.

A History Lesson With Booze ™
Right around this time back in 1987, New Jersey became the 3rd state in the union to mandate trash recycling… and the impetus may've been the long and inglorious journey of the Mobro 4000 — a barge, loaded with litter, that couldn't find a home. Hear the story, then toss back this trashy custom cocktail.
This week back in 1926, a great American's high-flying career came to a sudden end. We toast to Bessie Coleman's life and legacy with a moonshine-based cocktail.

New Delhi, May 31 (IANS) Late actor-producer Sujit Kumar's son Jatin is set to foray into Bhojpuri cinema as a producer and has signed on actor Ravi Kishan for his debut production venture.
To be made under the banner Shiv Bhakti Films, the thriller is likely to go on floors next month.
Sujit, who passed away last year after battling with cancer, is known for playing Rajesh Khanna's friend in 'Aradhana'. Apart from that, he had appeared in over 150 Hindi films and also did about 25 films in Bhojpuri and had even been tagged as the superstar of Bhojpuri cinema.
Taking off from where his father left, Jatin plans to make more Bhojpuri films.
'Kehu Humse Jeet...' climax shot with four cameras
Director M.I. Raj is leaving no stones unturned to make the climax of his new film 'Kehu Humse Jeet Naa Paaye' worth remembering - he shot it with 200 fighters and four different cameras.
Touted to be one of the most expensive projects, the multi-starrer with patriotic theme, stars Ravi Kishan, Rinku Ghosh, Sushil Singh, Manoj Tiger, Mahesh Raja, and Shabaaz Khan, among others. The film has been shot in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh and Mumbai.
Raj had previously directed a Hindi film called 'Ek Aur Visphot', starring Makrand Deshpande, Vishwajeet Pradhan and Raza Murad.
'Mal Yuddh' action scenes shot from helicopter
The makers of Ravi Kishan starrer 'Mal Yuddh' hope to set new standards for Bhojpuri cinema - for the first time a helicopter has been used to shoot action sequences for a Bhojpuri movie.
'Mal Yuddh' promises to showcase some adrenaline pumping action. Director Chand Mehta along with actors Ravi Kishan, Rani Chatterjee and Shubham Tiwari shot the thrilling action sequences in Khandala.
Ravi Kishan says the role 'is very close to my heart'.

Easter Egg Hunt!!
Lehigh Valley Grand Prix held it's first ever Easter Egg Hunt yesterday. This was not your ordinary egg hunt. "When you think of Easter Egg Hunts you think of little kids running around a field looking for eggs as Mom/Dad hold their basket. LVGP's egg hunt was designed for the Big Kids," said Mike McCreary, […]Read More >

Radical chic for $19.90 and up: the Daniel Joseph Martinez line
"Don't work." "A dog tag from a war that has yet to come." "Avant garde mixed with blood."
These are just a few of the phrases that appear on T-shirts based on works by Daniel Joseph Martinez, sold by Uniqlo as a part of its new SPRZ NY clothing line.
Minus Warhol, Pollock, Basquiat, and Haring, the artist line-up will change every few months, so get your off-white short-sleeve "SYMBOLISM" Jack Pierson T-shirts while you still can.Also newly available this week are shirts and tank tops featuring work by Matthew Brannon, known for his screenprints mixing the esthetic of '50s and '60s advertisements with humorous text. One Brannon T-shirt, for example, comes in mustard yellow or black and puts an image of a fearsome feline together with the phrase "PRE-AUTEUR CINEMA" (below) written in a spindly light blue font.
The Martinez shirts, each based on a print in MoMA's collection meant initially for a public project as part of the San Juan Triennial in Puerto Rico, stick out because they are so politically fused.The Los Angeles-born artist, currently a professor at the University of California Irvine, has long used his work to address class struggle, ethnic identity, and violence. Though he shows at the L.A. gallery Roberts & Tilton, he is best known for his polarizing contribution to the 1993 Whitney Biennial—museum admission tags that spelled out the phrase "I can't imagine ever wanting to be white," which were the high or low point of the multicultural-art era, depending on who was looking. (Last year, when the tags appeared in the New Museum's "NYC 1993" show, New York Times critic Holland Cotter cited them as a model of art that could "light fires." That said, he recalled, the artist had originally proposed inscribing a window with the phrase "In the rich man's house the only place to spit is in his face," but the museum rejected the idea.) In 2008, Martinez returned to the Whitney Biennial with Divine Violence, an installation that covered gallery walls with yellow wooden panels that addressed the conflict in Iraq with such phrases as "Generation of Arab fury."The items in Martinez's SPRZ NY line are as confrontational and nihilistic as any of the work he has made for art venues. A beige cotton short-sleeve T-shirt with a yellow pocket square has "Freedom without love" written in a black, bold, condensed sans-serif font, brutally cutting straight to the point in just three words.In a phone conversation with ARTnews, Martinez said he took on the project with excitement when Uniqlo and MoMA approached him, intrigued by the possibilities in translating his subversive ideas into casual clothing items. "A different type of work can oscillate on different frequencies and still have different types of life to it," he says.Indeed, the SPRZ NY garments, available online and in some of the company's global network of stores, will transform wearers around the world into walking billboards for such Martinez catchphrases as "Sometimes I can't breathe," "Clothes with the perfume of the absent lie in random," and "I may be your lover but I spit on your millennium."Lost in translation? Call it streetwear with an artistic and political purpose. Or, the essence of radical chic.

If the airline you frequent flying doesn't have an app to help make your trips a little easier, you might want to look into changing carriers. (We kid! But not really, and here's a list of handy travel apps.) That said, American Airlines just took off (see what we did there?) in the Android Market. With everything from a mobile boarding pass, standby status lists and even a Sudoku game built-in American Airlines has covered a lot of bases with this release. Download can be found after the break. Be sure to grab it before your next red-eye. [American Airlines]

Come on, Continental... Where's your app? I hate flying AA.
For some reason, it won't download on my Epic. I've cleared all cache (including download manager) and even reset the phone. I see the download status, but once it hits 100%, it never gets to the installing phase. Anyone else having a problem?
I could use this app!!!

Dr. Kent Bottles is in the midst of a very thoughtful multi-part blog post under the heading, "The Difficult Science Behind Becoming a Savvy Healthcare Consumer."
Part I examined "the limitations of science in helping us make wise choices and decisions about our health."
Part II explores "how we all have to change if we are to live wisely in a time of rapid transformation of the American healthcare system that everyone agrees needs to decrease per-capita cost and increase quality."
Both parts so far have addressed important issues about news media coverage of health care.
The second segment included a nice plug for our HealthNewsReview.org project. It concluded:
Patients, the media, researchers, and clinicians all have to change if we are to live wisely in a time of enormous change and transformation for the American health care system. We must be willing to accept the limitations of science and be open to shared decision making that recognizes that there are trade-offs in any decision made in this uncertain and unpredictable place we call reality.
Bottles promises that Part III (coming soon) will describe how medical schools, payers, and employers need to change.

"San Gimignano delle belle torri" Top 5 Page for this destination San Gimignano by MM212
San Gimignano Travel Guide: 407 reviews and 1,246 photos
San Gimignano delle belle torri - of the beautiful towers - is how this mediaeval hilltop Tuscan town is known, a title well-deserved for stunning San Gimignano once possessed as many as 72 towers that pierced the sky like modern skyscrapers. Although only 14 of the 72 towers remain today, the town looks much the same as it has since its long gone apogee of the 13th century, with its towers still dominating the surrounding Tuscan skyline.
It is known that an Etruscan settlement was established on the site as early as the 3rd century BC. By the 10th century AD, the town was named San Gimignano after the bishop saint of Modena, Geminianus, who had defended it against the invading Huns in the 6th century AD. The town grew in importance with the establishment of Via Francigena, the road which cut through the town and transported pilgrims and Crusaders from as far as England to Rome, and then eventually to Jerusalem. With pilgrim traffic came commerce, prosperity and wealth, leading San Gimignano to declare independence from Volterra in 1199. In the following one and a half centuries, its inhabitants, the sangimignanesi, lived a golden age that saw rapid expansions and extravagant constructions. Its prominent families piled up wealth, but were split between the Guelphs and the Ghibellines, supporters of the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor, respectively, in their struggle for power. The rivalry between these families was not only political, but architectural as well: families built towers in competition with each other to assert their own power and dominance. It all came to an end with the plague of 1348, which wiped out the majority of San Gimignano's population. The town had no choice but to submit to Florence as it could no longer sustain its independence. However, it is this early decline that allowed San Gimignano to preserve its mediaeval character and architecture for us to admire to this day, and that made the whole town worthy of being listed as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.
San Gimignano makes a perfect day trip from either Florence or Siena. A few hotels are also available for those wishing to stay longer who may be rewarded by sampling more of the city's numerous restaurants. Whether one passes by or stays here, San Gimignano is a must-see for anyone travelling through the Tuscan countryside.

I so wanted to get here but ran out of time eye boggling my way around other places nearby! have to get back though! Youve got the place well captured here with great pics&excellent writeup!Imagine how amazing it mustve been when all 72 towers were up!
A hotel in SG is definitely the way to go! The day visitors are all gone by 5pm. Sunset on the towers is magic. Your page here brings back good memories. Thanks - leyle
Très belle page sur une ville qui m'avait d'abord un peu déçue. Je m'attendais (candidement) à 72 tours! Lors d'une seconde visite j'ai appris à l'aimer.
I opted to chill out in Siena the day I planned to see this town - my loss. Would have loved to climb Torre Grossa and be a mad shutter-happy tourist!

To enlighten someone means to explain something clearly to him. If your friend is behaving strangely but insists she has a reason for it, you could ask her to enlighten you.
Enlighten comes from the metaphor that ignorance is a state of being "in the dark," and that knowledge is illuminating. We use enlighten as a verb meaning to clear up, to remove confusion. Light is also a powerful metaphor for spiritual insight. If you have a great revelation about the divinity of the world, you could say you have been enlightened. The era known as the "Age of Reason" is also called the Enlightenment.
Definitions of enlighten
v give spiritual insight to; in religion
- Synonyms:
- irradiate
- Type of:
prophesy, vaticinate
predict or reveal through, or as if through, divine inspiration
v make free from confusion or ambiguity; make clear
- Synonyms:
- clear, clear up, crystalise, crystalize, crystallise, crystallize, elucidate, illuminate, shed light on, sort out, straighten out

It is a deplorable fact that notwithstanding the great advances made in the treatment of the various diseases of the oral cavity, occasionally a tooth is lost in spite of all the best endeavors of the stomatologist to prevent such a calamity. It is therefore very desirable that we should be able to replace such lost organs, and often by other means than plate or bridge-work. I need therefore make no apology for bringing before you the subject of planting teeth.
Since the introduction of the operation of implanttation, by Dr. Wm. J. Younger (1885) various substitutes for carrying artificial crowns—as lead capsules, porcelain teeth, double staples of metal reversed, etc., have been tried. The literature on the subject does not indicate any marked degree of success with any of the roots save natural ones.

Short sales
Good morning!
Short sales. Are they a good deal or a scam? I want to say that the word scam is strong language. I get asked this question nearly every day by clients and investors. Short sales are mostly purchased by straw buyers or investors who do work with short sale Realtors. The process can take up to a year and there is no guarantee that you will ever close. If you have a time line and want to be into a home before school starts or 2020 then a short sale is not your path. You may want to consider hud homes or bank owned properties. These properties close sooner and have motivated sellers wanting to get this type of property off their books. Please let me know if I can answer any further questions you may have.

Homes for sale

Police are investigating reports of copper water lines that were stolen from two vacant homes this month.
A homeowner reported Tuesday that someone got into a house he was renovating to sell in the 2400 block of Indian Creek Road near Trafalgar, according to a police report. The water line was cut and removed from the home's basement and crawl space, and about 80 feet of copper water line worth about $700 was missing, the report said.
Copper pipe also was taken from an empty house in the 7800 block of County Road West 50S near Morgantown, police said. A subcontractor reported Wednesday that someone broke a front door handle on the house sometime after Jan. 4, got inside the home and stole copper water lines. The person who stole the copper pipes cut the water lines under the kitchen sink and ripped out sections of the ceiling in the basement to cut more pipes, according to a police report.
The house was being remodeled to sell, and many contractors had been working on it, the subcontractor told police.
The Johnson County Sheriff's Office is investigating the thefts.
