Bishops' Appeal: Urgent Funds Needed
The Bishops' Appeal, which is the Church of Ireland's principal agency for supporting the developing world, has requested harvest and advent funds for the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Syria and for the refugees in surrounding Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan. Eight million people are in need of humanitarian assistance. As little as €30/£25 can buy rice, beans, lentils, sugar, salt as well as cheese and milk to combat malnutrition in children.
Funds are also urgently required for important projects such as agricultural self help groups in Uganda and a garden project among the malnourished and displaced Wichi people in Argentina. Empowering rural people is an essential first step to eradicating poverty. Due to funding constraints, worthwhile projects such as these are on hold.
Donations may be sent to Bishops' Appeal, Church of Ireland House, Church Avenue, Rathmines, Dublin 6.
The concern for the plight of Syria will be echoed again on Wednesday when there will be a Day of Prayer for Syria in St Anne's cathedral, Belfast from 9am until 5pm with contributions from, among others, the Bishop of Connor, the Deans of Belfast and Down, the Revd Dr Heather Morris of the Methodist Church and the Very Revd Dr Hugh Kennedy from St Peter's cathedral.
Today in Cork (Saturday) Mark Russell, CEO of the Church Army, will speak at a breakfast conference for future church leaders, and at an event for lay church workers and volunteers in St Fin Barre's cathedral. In Dublin the annual Jonathan Swift Symposium will take place in St Patrick's Deanery while in Christ Church cathedral the AGM of the Past Choristers will be held at 2pm followed by a rehearsal after which they will sing Evensong at 5pm.
Today (Saturday) the visit of the delegation from the Hong Kong Sheung Kung Hui
continues when Archbishop Kwong will visit the Dean of Christ Church. Tomorrow (Sunday) morning Archbishop Kwong will preach in Christ Church, while the Very Revd Mathias Der, the Dean of Hong Kong, will preach at St Patrick's. In the afternoon both Archbishop Kwong and Dean Der will attend the Swift Service at St Patrick's where the address will be given by the Revd Dr Alan McCormack, the Rector of St Botolph without Bishopsgate and St Vedast Alias Foster in the City of London.
Tomorrow (Sunday) morning Abbot Mark Patrick Hederman OSB from Glenstal will preach in the Chapel of Trinity College, Dublin, while in Cashel cathedral, after the Cathedral Eucharist, Dr Alan Acheson will speak about his recently published study of Bishop John Jebb. At Evensong in St Fin Barre's cathedral the Bishop of Cork will re–dedicate the restored organ while in Christ Church cathedral, Dublin, the Revd Daniel Nuzum will be the preacher at the Annual Diocesan Service of Wholeness and Healing.
The Archbishop of Dublin will travel to Reykjavik on Monday for a meeting of the Primates of the Porvoo Communion and will return to launch the Revd Marcus Losack's book, Rediscovering St Patrick in St Patrick's Deanery on Thursday evening.
On Wednesday the Cashel, Ferns & Ossory Diocesan Synod will be held in Enniscorthy and the Derry & Raphoe Synod in Clooney, Hall, Derry.
On Friday evening in Ballina the Bishop of Tuam will institute the Revd Jake Worley, from British Columbia as incumbent of the Kilmoremoy union of parishes.
Next Saturday, 26 October, in St Ann's church, Dublin at 2pm, Changing Attitude Ireland will host a public lecture by Judge Catherine McGuinness, '20 Years after decriminalization: What Next for Same–Sex Couples'.

How to make the famous
American Hamburger
The entire village would follow behind the army on great wheeled carts they called "yurts," leading huge herds of sheep, goats, oxen, and horses. As the army needed food that could be carried on their mounts and eaten easily with one hand while they rode, ground meat was the perfect choice. They would use scrapings of lamb or mutton which were formed into flat patties. They softened the meat by placing them under the saddles of their horses while riding into battle. When it was time to eat, the meat would be eaten raw, having been tenderized by the saddle and the back of the horse.
1238 - When Genghis Khan's grandson, Khubilai Khan (1215-1294), invaded Moscow, they naturally brought their unique dietary ground meat with them. The Russians adopted it into their own cuisine with the name "Steak Tartare," (Tartars being their name for the Mongols). Over many years, Russian chefs adapted and developed this dish and refining it with chopped onions and raw eggs.
Beginning in the fifteenth century, minced beef was a valued delicacy throughout Europe. Hashed beef was made into sausage in several different regions of Europe.
1600s - Ships from the German port of
Hamburg, Germany began calling on Russian port. During this period the
Russian steak tartare was brought back to Germany and called "tartare
Hamburg Steak
In the late eighteenth century, the largest ports in Europe were in Germany. Sailors who had visited the ports of Hamburg, Germany and New York, brought this food and term "Hamburg Steak" into popular usage. To attract German sailors, eating stands along the New York city harbor offered "steak cooked in the Hamburg style."
Immigrants to the United States from German-speaking countries brought with them some of their favorite foods. One of them was Hamburg Steak. The Germans simply flavored shredded low-grade beef with regional spices, and both cooked and raw it became a standard meal among the poorer classes. In the seaport town of Hamburg, it acquired the name Hamburg steak. Today, this hamburger patty is no longer called Hamburg Steak in Germany but rather "Frikadelle," "Frikandelle" or "Bulette," orginally Italian and French words.
According to Theodora Fitzgibbon in her book The Food of the Western World - An Encyclopedia of food from North American and Europe:
Referring to ground beef as hamburger dates to the invention of the mechanical meat choppers during the 1800s. It wasn't until the early nineteenth century that wood, tin, and pewter cylinders with wooden plunger pushers became common. Steve Church of Ridgecrest, California uncovered some long forgotten U. S. patents on Meat Cutters:
Many historians claim the first printed American menu was in 1826 on New York's Delmonico's Restaurant. Ellen Steinberg, Ph.D, of Illinois sent me the following information from the Nutrition Today Magazine, Volume 39, January/February 2004, pp 18-25:
According to the Los Angeles, CA Metropolitan New-Enterprise newspaper article, Old Menus Tell the History of Hamburgers in L.A., by Roger M. Grace:
Hamburger Steak, Plain and Hamburger Steak with Onions, was served at the Tyrolean Alps Restaurant at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair.
1758 - By the mid-18th century, German immigrants also begin arriving in England. One recipe, titled "Hamburgh Sausage," appeared in Hannah Glasse's 1758 English cookbook called The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy. It consisted of chopped beef, suet, and spices. The author recommended that this sausage be served with toasted bread. Hannah Glasse's cookbook was also very popular in Colonial America, although it was not published in the United States until 1805. This American edition also contained the "Hamburgh Sausage" recipe with slight revisions.
1844 - The original Boston Cooking School Cook Book, by Mrs. D.A. Lincoln (Mary Bailey), 1844 had a recipe for Broiled Meat Cakes and also Hamburgh Steak:
1894 - In the 1894 edition of the book The Epicurean: A Complete Treatise of Analytical & Practical Studies, by Charles Ranhofer (1836-1899), chef at the famous Delmonico's restaurant in New York, there is a listing for Beef Steak Hamburg Style. The dish is also listed in French as Bifteck à Hambourgeoise. What made his version unique was that the recipe called for the ground beef to be mixed with kidney and bone marrow:
There is a dispute about who made the first hamburger and bun in America. Have you ever wondered where the first hamburger on a bun came from? Which story you believe depends on your definition of a hamburger. Is it a hamburger when served on a bun? Or is it a hacenterer when served between two slices of bread?
Only one of the claimants below served their hamburgers on a bun - Oscar Weber Bilby in 1891. The rest served them as sandwiches between two slices of bread.
Most of the following stories on the history of the hamburgers were told
after the fact and are based on the recollections of family members. For
many people, which story or legend you believe probably depends on where you
are from. You be the judge! The claims are as follows:
The town of Seymour, Wisconsin is so certain about this claim that they even have a Hamburger Hall of Fame that they built as a tribute to Charlie Nagreen and the legacy he left behind. The town claims to be "Home of the Hamburger" and holds an annual Burger Festival on the first Saturday of August each year. Events include a ketchup slide, bun toss, and hamburger-eating contest, as well as the "world's largest hamburger parade."
On May 9, 2007, members of the Wisconsin legislature declared Seymour, Wisconsin, as the home of the hamburger:
Hamburg held its first Burgerfest in 1985 to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of the hamburger after organizers discovered a history book detailing the burger's origins.
In 1991, Menches and his siblings stumbled across the original recipe among some old papers their great-grandmother left behind. After selling their burgers at county fairs for a few years, the family opened up the Menches Bros. Restaurant in Akron, Ohio. The Menches family is still in the restaurant business and still serving hamburgers in Ohio.
On May 28, 2005, the town of Akron, Ohio hosted the First Annual National Hamburger Festival to celebrate the 120th
Anniversary of the invention of the hamburger. The festival will be
dedicated to Frank and Charles Menches. That's how sure the city of Akron is
on the Menches' family claim on the contested contention that two residents
invented the hamburger. The Ohio legislature is also considering making
hamburgers the state food.
Michael Wallis, travel writer and reporter for Oklahoma Today magazine, did an extensive search in 1995 for the true origins of the hamburger and determined that Oscar Weber Bilby himself was the creator of the hamburger as we know it. According to Wallis's 1995 article, Welcome To Hamburger Heaven, in an interview with Harold Bilby:
In 1933, Oscar and his son, Leo, opened the family's first hamburger stand in Tulsa, Oklahoma, called Weber's Superior Root Beer Stand. They still use the same grill used in 1891, with one minor variation, the wood stove has been converted to natural gas. In a letter to me, Linda Stradley, dated July 31, 2004, Rick Bilby states the following:
On April 13, 1995, Governor Frank Keating of Oklahoma proclaimed that the real birthplace of the hamburger on the bun, was created and consumed in Tulsa in 1891. The State of Oklahoma Proclamation states:
In the mid-1960s, the New Haven Preservation Trust placed a plaque on the building where Louis' Lunch is located proclaiming Louis' Lunch to be the first place the hamburger was sold.
Louis' Lunch is still selling their hamburgers from a small brick building in New Haven. The sandwich is grilled vertically in antique gas grills and served between pieces of toast rather than a bun, and refuse to provide mustard or ketchup.
Library of Congress named Louis' Lunch a "Connecticut Legacy." The following is taken from the Congressional Record, 27 July 2000, page E1377:
The hamburger business all started about 1901 or 1902 (The Grays aren't sure which) when Mr. Gray operated a little cafe on the east side of Clarinda's Courthouse Square.
Most Texans believe the vendor in question was Fletch Davis (1864-1941)>, also known as "old Dave" who owned a lunch counter in Athens, Texas. Supposedly Fletch Davis, at his Athens lunch counter, took some raw hamburger steak and placed it on his flat grill and fried it until it was a crisp brown on both sides. Then he placed the browned patty of meat between two thick slices of homemade toast and added a thick slice of raw onion to the top. He offered it as a special to his patrons to see if they would like it.
According to some historians, he opened up a concession stand and began selling the ground beef patty sandwich at the amusement area, known as The Pike (there is no evidence for that claim, however). According to the book Beyond The Ice Cream Cone - The Whole Scoop on Food at the 1904 World's Fair by Pamela J. Vaccaro:
"It took me years of sweatneck research before I finally determined, at least in mine and in some other Texas historian's estimation, that Fletcher Davis (1864-1941), also known as "Old Dave" of Athens, in Henderson County, Texas, invented the hamburger sandwich."
The popularity the character Wimpy spawned a successful chain of hamburger restaurants called Wimpy's, that flourished for over a decade. This burger went for the upscale market at 10 cents a burger. In keeping with the founder's wishes, all 1,500 restaurants were closed down when he died in 1978.
There is also a dispute between Denver, Colorado, Louisville, Kentucky, and Pasadena, California on who and where the cheeseburger was invented.
1920s - Pasadena, California:
According to the 1995 book called Welcome To Hamburger Heaven by Jeffrey Tennyson:
From the article, Who Invented Hamburger Sandwich? And What About the Cheeseburger? By Roger M. Grace, Metropolitan News-Enterprise, Thursday, January 8, 2004:
According to Robin Garr's Louisville Restaurant Reviews:
Today, a plaque (probably placed there by the owners) on the wall of the Kaelin Restaurant proudly state that Carl Kaelin invented the cheeseburger.
The cheeseburger trademark was supposedly registered by Louis Ballast on March 5, 1935 of the Humpty Dumpty Barrel Drive-In in Denver, Colorado. Ballast claimed to have come up with the idea while testing hamburger toppings. Although Louis registered the name, he never made any claims, and the restaurant is now a thing of the past. Some historians dispute that he actually was issued a trademark.

Waiting on Wednesday
[singlepic id=200 w=520 h=440 float=center]
Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Breaking the Spine featuring books that we crave slash drool over but haven't been published yet.
[singlepic id=330 w=520 h=440 float=left]
Title: Incarnation by Emma Cornwell
Publish date: September 18 , 2012
Publisher: Gallery Books
Genre: Steampunk
Format: Paperback
Pages: 382
Add to Goodreads
In the steampunk world of Victorian London, Lucy Weston, a character in Dracula, seeks out Bram Stoker to discover why he lied about her in his popular novel.
With Stoker's reluctant help, she tracks the creature who transformed her from the sensual underworld where humans vie to become vampires to a hidden cell beneath a temple to madness and finally into the glittering Crystal Palace where death reigns supreme. Haunted by fragmentary memories of her lost life and love, Lucy battles her thirst for blood as she struggles to stop a catastrophic war that will doom vampires and humans alike. Ultimately, she makes a choice that illuminates for her–and for us–the true nature of what it means to be human.
Reason: I love the idea of a different take on the Bram Stoker Dracula story told from Lucy's point of view I can't wait to sink my teeth (I made a pun, lol ) into this one.

AUGUSTA, Ga.---Three thousand new jobs were added just last year in Richmond County. The Development Authority said all those jobs and the strength of the economy is the reason for new developments at National Hills shopping center.
"We're working with a large number of projects right now. Probably the largest number of projects we've ever worked with, in our history at the Development Authority," Development Authority Executive Director Walter Sprouse said.
Sprouse said the numbers in the past two years show that Augusta is growing and the economy is strong.
"We've seen a large number of new people moving into the area, new jobs being created," he said.
He's talking about ADP and T-Mobile bringing thousands of jobs to the area.
"There's a tremendous amount going on in Augusta right now and we're very proud to be a part of it," Sprouse said.
And soon you'll see changes at National Hills shopping center, where Dillards is moving out in January, and Fresh Market is moving to a bigger space next door. 25 percent bigger, and they expect to open within the next year.
"I'm very excited about it. I think that the shopping center has needed some work for a long time. And being a retail owner, I'm excited that they want to upgrade," Brigid Pursley said.
Other changes include a new Walgreens and plans to widen Alexander Drive over to Riverwatch.
"That's going to be a big help, not only for the traffic that we see on Washington Road right here, but especially when it comes time for the Masters across the street. That's going to help get traffic in and out a little bit better," Sprouse said.
Next door, employees at Windsor Jewelers said the changes will be uplifting to the National Hills area.
"Obviously, right now you are very select on what you can have here. I think by them revitalizing the shopping center, it will bring more business to the area because we'll get a lot more variety," Lamar McCubbin said.
Other store owners said all the growth will bring even more places to shop.
"We need it. We need to increase our tax base in Augusta and this is the type of development that we need to get it done," Pursley said.

Silence Language and Communication Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #4
The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence;
not in silence, but restraint." (11-12)
When people are really shocked or amazed by something, sometimes they post it onto their Facebook profiles or Twitter pages with the phrase: "There are no words." That's basically the idea here. When we are really moved by something, the only thing we can say is that we can't say anything about it. The father's distinction between "silence" and "restraint" is worth examining. If we just stay silent, no one would know that we feel anything at all. What people need to see is that our silence isn't just straightforward silence, but rather a meaningful silence. It's a strange contradiction: you have to speak up to let people know you're not speaking.
Quote #5
Nor was he insincere in saying, "Make my house your inn."
Inns are not residences. (13-14)
The speaker's father is a pretty sneaky guy. "Make my house your inn" sounds really welcoming – but it's actually a welcome with a warning thrown in. By pointing out that her father actually means, "Don't get too comfortable, this isn't your home" the speaker shows us how phrases can be interpreted in multiple ways and that we should be reading for more subtle meanings, in addition to the obvious ones.

The ceremony recognized 60 students who have advanced from the first year of the nursing program (freshmen students) to the second year (senior students). College President Marian Kovatchitch presided over the ceremony and was assisted by Coordinator of Curriculum Resources Doreen Rogers. Replicas of Florence Nightingale's lamp were presented to each student by the class advisors and the following awards were distributed:
For Excellence in Academic Achievement: Weekday student: Daniel Freedman; Weekend student: Holly Sellers.
Students who demonstrated clinical excellence (in skills and caring) during their previous nursing courses were presented with awards made possible through the Mildred Balutis Memorial Scholarship fund. The awards for Excellence in Clinical Achievement: Weekday student: Stacey Harris; Weekend student: Jennifer Winchell.
For Leadership within the College Community: Weekday student: Jennifer LeGuelaff; Weekend student: Sarah Hoffman.
Awards were made possible through American Legion Post No. 229 in Utica for students who Exemplify the College's Model of Nursing. Recipients were: Weekday student: Jennifer Mazzaferro; Weekend student: Diana Natali.

A second award was given to a student who is currently working in the health care field while attending St. Elizabeth College of Nursing. This award was presented to Cassandra Roberts. The third award went to Kayleigh Coupe, as a reminder "of the friends and classmates with whom you started your nursing education."
An award went to Angela Perry in memory of Rose Maggiolino, graduate of the class of 1941, and mother of RoAnn Destito, commissioner of the state Office of General Studies. The family and friends of Maggiolino presented a scholarship to a senior student who was a graduate of Proctor High School and who has demonstrated perseverance in reaching her goal.
A scholarship was awarded to a senior student in memory of Georgianna Humpf, who fought a courageous battle against cancer until her death in late 2012. Her family wanted to recognize a student who exemplifies Humpf's spirit of volunteerism. The scholarship went to Tayler Madden.
The second annual Marie C. McQueen Scholarship was awarded to a senior student for demonstrated commitment to her faith, compassion, volunteerism and courage in the face of adversity. The scholarship is made possible through the not-for-profit American Family Foundation.

Slide 9 of 20
These are some of the key tenets from the Brigade Operational Concept.
This Brigade will be full spectrum capable in it's objective form. In the interim, with off-the-shelf equipment, it will be optimized for Small Scale Contingency operations, but will also be able to perform SASO missions and with additional augmentation it will have utility in the MTW fight.
It will be rapidly deployable with a goal to have the core elements of the Brigade in theater, ready to fight, within 96 hours of lift-off.
It maintains freedom of maneuver by the situational understanding provided by the Recon and Surveillance Squadron coupled with its superb tactical mobility. These capabilities allow it to choose the time and place of the fight on its terms
The Brigade conducts decisive action in SSC scenarios by deliberate maneuver and dismounted infantry assault. It fights best in complex and urban terrain.
Once in the Joint Theater of Operations it provides the CINC superb operational mobility via C-130 transport aircraft. Everything in the core elements of the Brigade is C-130 deployable. It also provides excellent long distance ground mobility when on the road.
In the interim the Brigade will not have a platform overmatch as exists in the heavy force today. The objective Future Combat System will provide that overmatch in the future. In the near term it compensates for platform limitations by fighting the close fight with superior situational awareness and internetted combined arms actions down to the company level.
The large number of dismounted infantry, snipers, and Javelin antitank systems with support of AT and Mobile Assault Guns make this unit well suited for operations in urban and complex terrain
Our goal is to seek a common vehicle platform for this brigade. If we can get a common platform for the Infantry Carrier, Recon, Mobile Assault Gun, Mortars, Command and Control, Anti-Tank, and other combat support and combat service support vehicles, then we will be able to realize increased responsiveness by significantly reducing our sustainment requirements.
The brigade will seek to leverage "reach-back" capabilities to minimize its forward footprint in the theater. Reach-back includes fires, intelligence, logistics, medical and virtually every area where technology allows us access critical information that is gathered and processed in other locations.
Lastly, it is envisioned that the brigade will always operate under Division or Corps command and control.

Aoyama Gakuin University
|The Salt of the Earth and Light of the World

|Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan
Aoyama Gakuin University (青山学院大学 Aoyama gakuin daigaku?), abbreviated AGU, is a Japanese Christian university in Shibuya near Omotesandō, Tokyo, Japan. Aoyama Gakuin University is part of a comprehensive educational institute called Aoyama Gakuin, which includes kindergarten, elementary school, junior and senior high schools, women's college, university and graduate schools. Aoyama Gakuin's history dates from October 1874, when missionaries (Dora E. Schoonmaker, Robert Samuel Maclay, Julius Soper) from the Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States established three schools. John Franklin Goucher contributed to the establishment of the university. Canadian Methodist missionary Davidson MacDonald played a role in the establishment of Aoyama Gakuin, and his contribution to the improvement of Japan's educational system is considered an important episode in the early history of Japanese-Canadian relations.[1] The institution took its present form in 1949 when Aoyama Gakuin College was established as a comprehensive university. Aoyama Gakuin University now stands as one of the most prestigious private universities in Japan.
The university's undergraduate and graduate programs include courses on literature, law, economics, business, international politics, economics and communication, science and engineering and cultural and creative studies. The university also has specialized graduate programs that are designed to train high level specialized professionals, including international management, law school, and professional accounting.
- QS World university rankings 2013:701+
- Modern Languages 2011:151-200
- QS Asian university rankings 2014:201-250
The university is ranked 11th of the number of alumni of congressperson,[2] and 13th in Japan for the number of alumni holding the position of executive in the listed companies of Japan.[3] The university graduates have been ranked 8th in Japan in the number of successful national CPA exam applicants.[4] The university is also the 5th most popular university in Tokyo, and regarded as the most fashion-conscious.[5] The university was ranked 39th in 2009 and 57th in 2010 in the Truly Strong Japanese Universities Ranking by Tokyo Kezai.[6] However, it has to be noted that Aoyama Gakuin University focuses on the Humanities education, especially for undergraduate students, more than other universities, therefore it has a tendency to be ranked weaker.
In the University Brand Image Survey in 2010 conducted by Nikkei BP Consulting, Aoyama Gakuin University was ranked 7th in the Greater Tokyo Area and 4th out of the Private Universities after Keio University, Waseda University, and Sophia University.[7]
The main campus, located in Aoyama in central Tokyo, is complemented by the Sagamihara Campus in Kanagawa Prefecture. The Sagamihara Campus is houses the College of Science and Engineering. For the Academic Year 2003 (as of May 1, 2003), the undergraduate student population at AGU is approximately 19,372. The university has graduated around 155,219 students in all and employs approximately 1,300 full-time and part-time faculty members who offer a wealth of educational and research opportunities. Aoyama Gakuin University is accredited by the Japanese University Association and is a member of the Japan Association of Private College and Universities.
The university maintains a number of active international exchange programs for students and faculty. Due to this, Aoyama Gakuin University is well known for its international ambiance: many of the students and faculty have attended universities and research institutes abroad, while numerous scholars and students from around the world have studied at the university.

Why apply for an American Express Credit Card?
Other than being a payment means for your everyday expenses as well as more important purchases, American Express Credit Cards offer the opportunity to earn a range of rewards: like Membership Rewards points that you can redeem for flights with our leading airline rewards programs, or holidays, or hotel stays, and gift cards. The more you spend, the more points you accrue. There is no expiry date on your Membership Rewards points providing your account is in good standing.
And it doesn't end at rewards: some selected American Express Credit Cards offer Refund Protection, Purchase Protection, and Online Fraud Protection Guarantee; inclusive insurance benefits when you pay for travel on your American Express Card; and you get 24/7 customer support from American Express and a complimentary flight every year.
Which Card?
Before you apply for a Credit Card consider your spending habits, and the limit you can manage so you do not take on more than you need. Consider what is more important to you: rewards or rates and fees?
Credit Cards
A Credit Card is a convenient, flexible way of paying for goods or services around the world. A Credit Card offers a revolving line of credit, so you can carry a balance from one month to the next rather than having to pay the full amount you owe every month.
Charge Cards
A Charge Card is different to a Credit Card in that you are required to pay the amount you have charged to the card in full every month. Like Credit Cards, Charge Cards usually come with rewards or other benefits. A Charge Card is like having the convenience of debit card, with the premium benefits of a Credit Card, like rewards, travel insurance, purchase protection, and fraud guarantee.

Ursula Benton, 76, a longtime former resident of Snowmass Village, died peacefully in Boulder on Dec. 29, 2012, surrounded by her family. Her passing followed an 18-year struggle with Parkinson's Disease.Ursula moved to Snowmass Village from New York in 1983 with her husband, Harry, in search of the Western lifestyle. She fell in love with the Aspen valley, and with Harry found a home among a group of similarly inspired transplants called the "Snowballs," who together cherished skiing, golf and the outdoors. She was a longtime member of Aspen's Christ Episcopal Church.Ursula was born Ursula Laubach in Bremen, Germany, in 1936, the second of four children. A war child, she endured hunger and the experience of aerial bombings with her parents. These experiences were formative, instilling a life-long sense of frugality, practicality, grit and adventure.In 1957, the 21-year-old Ursula helped her father rebuild the family house destroyed in the war, laying the stone bricks herself. In that year she embarked to the U.S. to earn seed money to buy a farm in Germany, which she and her father wanted to operate together. She loved New York, where she stayed with relatives. However, she returned to Germany in 1960 upon her father's death to help support her mother and siblings. She went into retailing, learning the trade through an apprenticeship at Peek & Cloopenburg, a group of department stores, and displayed talent and success in sales there, training under one of the founders. However, the memories of her three years in New York led her to return to the U.S. for good in 1963, when her mother was confident that she could raise the two younger siblings on her own.In New York, Ursula applied her retail skills in a German Bakery on 86th Street, which was a meeting point for German expats and actors, and where Marlene Dietrich would buy her bread from Ursula. Later she met Harry, a young New York businessman from a Czech-Austrian family who had a similar sense of adventure and war experience. Ursula married Harry, who brought two daughters into the family, and together they had a son, Paul. Although Ursula was a mother and homemaker, she also embarked on business projects, applying her practical nature, including buying near their home in suburban New York a small office building, which she operated and maintained herself, and which she sold profitably.The happiest years for Ursula and Harry were in Colorado when Ursula's youthful plans for being a farmer and Harry's dream to be a cowboy led to years of joy on their working cattle ranch in Rifle, which they had until 1994, while also living in Snowmass.The year 1994 brought change: Ursula and Harry sold the Ranch, and she was also diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Throughout the following years of struggle with Parkinson's, which included moving in 2006 to the nursing wing of the Frasier Meadows retirement community in Boulder, she never lost her positive outlook on life. Ursula was debilitated during the last three years, but found fulfillment in her family and two grandchildren, whom she loved and watched closely. A source of daily joy was her young, zestful caregiver, Amela, herself a war child, of Bosnia, and similar to Ursula in many ways. With her large and interesting family, Amela embraced Ursula for six years, and created daily laughter. To the very end, Ursula maintained the strong will to live: She held on consciously knowing that her siblings from Germany were en route to come to join her family at her bedside.Ursula is survived by her husband of 44 years, Harry, of Boulder, Colorado; her son, Paul, and daughter-in-law, Sigrid, of Snowmass Village; her sister Ilse Laubach of Hamburg, Germany, and brother Wolfgang Laubach, of Frankfurt, Germany; and step-daughters Lorna Benton of Boulder and Carol Baronfeld of Huntington Beach, Calif.; two grandchildren and three step-grandchildren. Ursula's older sister, Marion, had passed away in 2011 in Greenwich, Conn.Ursula will be laid to rest in the Snowmass cemetery surrounded by aspen trees, which she loved. A celebration of life is planned for the summer.Memorials may be sent to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation (www.pdf.org).

Ithaca College School Of Music Faculty Member Honored For Research On Career Interests Of Undergraduate Music Students
ITHACA, NY — Dan Isbell, assistant professor of music education in Ithaca College's School of Music, has received a Center for Music Education Research Award for his paper, "The Socialization of Undergraduate Music Teachers," which examines the influences affecting the career interests of undergraduate music students. Given to music education researchers at early stages of their careers, the award recognized the clarity of Isbell's research purpose, appropriateness of his research design, and his writing quality.
The paper was based on Isbell's Ph.D. dissertation, "The Socialization and Occupational Identity of Undergraduate Music Education Students Enrolled in Traditional Baccalaureate Programs," to which the Council of Research in Music Education awarded the 2006 Outstanding Dissertation in Music Education.
In addition to a cash prize, Isbell received an invitation to present his paper at the Suncoast Music Education Research Symposium VII at the University of South Florida in February. "I am very excited about receiving this award, and I look forward to representing our school in Florida next year," Isbell said.
After graduating from the Ithaca College School of Music with degrees in music education and trumpet performance, Isbell went on to earn advanced degrees in music education — a master's from the University of New Mexico and a doctorate (Ph.D.) from the University of Colorado at Boulder. His articles have appeared in numerous publications, including "Music Educators Journal," "Journal of Research in Music Education," and "Update: Applications for Research in Music Education." In addition to local and national conferences, he has presented at international conferences in England and Italy.
Isbell has taught in Colorado and New York school districts, and has also provided private instruction at the Boulder Arts Academy. A former principal trumpet in the Steamboat Springs Chamber Orchestra and the Pikes Peak Philharmonic, he has also performed with the Steamboat Springs Jazz Quartet, the Kanno Ko! African Drum Ensemble, and the rock band Flashback. He currently plays trumpet with the Swamp College Brass Quintet in the Fingerlakes area of New York.
Isbell maybe be reached at (607) 274-3688 or email@example.com.

Manufacturing Process
Prestigious Kitchen Ranges
In 2005, Châteaux and Cornuchef kitchen ranges are still only produced to order, and are individually hand-made with patience and pride.
Naturally, La Cornue makes use of modern technology and is forever improving its products, but no manufacturing changes made will ever alter our determination to preserve the noble values traditionally associated with handicraft production.
We use only noble materials, selected and chosen for their quality and their longevity: cast iron, steel, solid brass, nickel and enamel.
We steadily build a few hundred Châteaux per year, which we proudly dispatch to destinations all over the world. We take all of the time we need in order to make them correctly, which is to say according to our strictest quality criteria.
Each Château, Each Cornuchef is assembled by hand and by one person; this person will follow production through to the end and finalize every last detail. Each kitchen range is monitored, controlled and tested at all the stages of production.
Even if you happen to be the Queen of England, you will have to wait at least two months for your Château La Cornue. We wouldn't know how to make it any quicker.

Ladislaus Csizsik-Csatary, 97, the world's most wanted Nazi war criminal for his role in the movement that sent 15,700 Jews to their deaths at Auschwitz, was found yesterday in Budapest, Hungary, living a normal life amongst unassuming neighbours, 15 years after his whereabouts were last known.
Csizsik-Csatary, who was tracked down by campaigners at the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, adamantly denied allegations about his past when questioned at his front door and turned journalists away, having previously been watched and followed for four hours as he took a leisurely stroll through the city he now calls home.
He was a police commander in charge of a Jewish ghetto in Kassa, Hungary, and reports reveal that Csizsik-Csatary both oversaw and personally conducted the whipping of women and instigated a shoot-on-sight policy if they tried to escape.
After the Allied victory was declared in 1948, Csizsik-Csataray fled Kassa after being sentenced to death for war crimes and his location was not known until 1997, when he surfaced as an art dealer in Canada. Consequently, the Canadian government revoked his citizenship, but before deportation plans could be finalised, Csizsik-Csatary fled once more and since then, authorities had failed to track him down.
Prosecutors in Hungary are now reviewing the evidence in front of them.

White Market, Grey Market. and Black Market Passports
By Mark Nestmann • April 2, 2012
Every country has a path to naturalization through its constitution and law of nationality. In most countries, eligibility for citizenship and a passport requires a period of extended legal and physical residence of one year to 10 years or more. The applicant must also demonstrate good conduct, full compliance with immigration rules, some degree of language proficiency, as well as substantial integration into the local culture. In these "white market" passports, the applicant obtains citizenship and a passport through normal means set forth in the law.
A country's nationality laws may reduce or even eliminate the required residence period before naturalization and issuance of a white-market passport by:
- Permitting citizens the right to bring a non-resident spouse into the country as a legal resident. After a shorter than normal period of residence, the spouse is eligible to apply for citizenship and passport. For instance, in Belize the period of normal residence required to obtain a passport is five years. However, the non-citizen spouse of a Belize citizen is eligible for citizenship and passport after only one year.
- Permitting citizens the right to bring an adopted child into the country as a legal resident. Again, after a shorter than normal period of residence, the parent may sponsor the child for citizenship and passport.
- Providing that descendents of persons born in that country who emigrated from it can, in effect, reclaim their forefather's nationality. Many countries give the children of emigrants this privilege, and a few, including Ireland and Italy, extend it to grandchildren.
- Allowing residents of overseas territories of that nation to acquire a citizenship and passport. For instance, individuals legally resident in one of the Dutch Caribbean island territories for a period of five years or longer may qualify for a Dutch passport. Successful applicants must also demonstrate good conduct and substantial integration, including oral and written fluency in the Dutch language.
- Giving the government the right to bypass normal naturalization requirements if a person applying for citizenship has provided extraordinary services. The services may be artistic, cultural, sports-related, or financial. The economic citizenship programs of St. Kitts & Nevis and Dominica fit under this category. In most other countries, there is no economic citizenship program as such, yet the government will occasionally award citizenship and passport based on extraordinary service. In a few of those countries, those criteria are negotiated in advance so that an applicant knows in advance with reasonable certainty the likely outcome.
To obtain a white-market passport using one of these provisions, you must prove entitlement to citizenship. For instance, if you apply for naturalization after marrying a local citizen, you'll need to submit to an interview and an investigation of your family life. Both you and your spouse will be interviewed. If the answers don't match, or don't add up, your application will be rejected. You—and especially your spouse—may also be liable to civil and criminal penalties
Grey Market and Black Market Passports
A grey market passport is one where not all the criteria ordinarily necessary for its issuance are enforced. In recent years, promoters have offered passports from Belize, Bulgaria, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Greece, Guyana, Lithuania, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Portugal, Romania, and other countries on this basis. In most cases, the promoter finds a corruptible insider with the ability to issue a passport with few if any questions asked.
The passport is genuine and officially issued, but in an unofficial and unauthorized manner. Depending on the quality of the insider access, a certificate of naturalization may or may not accompany the passport. Without naturalization, it may not be possible to renew the passport, to use it to enter and leave the country, or even to open a local bank account.
A black market passport is one that is counterfeited or manufactured from lost or stolen blanks. The passport itself is not genuine, nor is it officially issued. National intelligence agencies, organized crime families, and terrorist groups all trade in black market passports. In recent years, black market passports from Belgium, Canada, Suriname, and the United Kingdom have become available.
Using grey market or black market passports poses considerable risks. Border control authorities in most countries receive updates regularly from Interpol and other sources of blacklisted passport numbers. There is a constant chance of discovery, especially with black market documents. Grey market passports may be cancelled anytime, especially after the insider responsible for their issuance is discovered or leaves office. In virtually all cases, it is impossible to renew grey market or black market passports.
Due Diligence in Second Passports
In conducting due diligence on second passport offerings, I look for the following red flags:
- Too cheap. The total cost of the least expensive white-market economic citizenship program, in the Commonwealth of Dominica, comes to about $100,000 for a single applicant or $130,000 for a married applicant with up to two children under the age of 18. Any passport issued for much less than that amount should be presumed to be grey-market, unless the person offering can point to specific black-letter law authorizing its issuance.
- Too easy. No country issues a certificate of nationality and a passport without a detailed application process, including completion of official application forms, a background check, and in virtually all cases, at least one personal visit. (St. Kitts & Nevis is an exception in that no personal visit is required for its economic citizenship program.)
- Too fast. No government can approve an application for citizenship and passport in only a few days. The fastest authorities can conduct a reasonably complete investigation and move the application through several layers of bureaucracy is two or three months, and usually much longer.
- Too anonymous. Any promoter that tells you that you have to pay cash for your passport, that the ability to issue the passport is based on a secret law or regulation, or that promises to issue you a passport in any name you choose, falls into this category.
- Too limited. Passports that come without a certificate of nationality fit into this category. The instant passport from Panama is an example, although an ordinary Panamanian passport issued with nationality after an extended period of residence is an acceptable travel document.
- Too good to be true. Diplomatic passports are almost always in this category. This type of passport is often marketed as providing the bearer the right to bypass border controls and local taxation. Some categories of diplomatic passports convey these rights, but the vast majority of those offered to the public involve grey-market documents. International travel on a diplomatic passport may also require that the diplomatic service of the issuing country apply for an official visa listing the purpose for every country visited. With a grey market diplomatic passport, it's virtually impossible to apply for, much less receive, the official visa.
- Too late. Some promoters continue to market now-defunct economic citizenship programs in Belize and Grenada. Each terminated its economic citizenship program more than a decade ago, although there have been recent discussions about reviving it in both countries.
Stick with White-Market Passports
Avoid grey market or black market passports. They may be revoked anytime and you could be subject to arrest and/or deportation.
The Nestmann Group, Ltd. can assist individuals seeking a legitimate white-market passport through an economic contribution or investment in the Commonwealth of Dominica, the Federation of St. Kitts & Nevis, and in selected EU countries. Please contact us for more information.

Made to the same high standards as all of our furniture, each one of our upholstery frames is built to last.
Kiln-dried, engineered hardwood
We use kiln-dried, engineered hardwood in all of our upholstery frames. Often used for structural beams, engineered hardwood is made by pressing thin layers of solid wood together. Kiln-drying removes moisture, minimizing seasonal expansion and contraction. This stable hardwood material resists warping and cracking for lasting durability.
Reinforced joinery
We reinforce every joint in our frames for added stability. Precision-cut parts interlock like puzzle pieces and are reinforced with eco-friendly glues, screws or staples and corner blocks. Reinforced joinery ensures your seating holds together, even with years of frequent use.
Sinuous coil
A sinuous coil suspension consists of s-shaped metal springs that are stretched across the frame. The coils are securely attached with clips that allow the metal to flex while still remaining supportive. Because each coil is independently attached to the frame, you'll barely feel it when someone sits down next to you.

Not for the samurai. In the land of the most suicides, Japan, it is a pride thing and a sense of saving ones honor.
As for the rest of the world, if an individual wants to kill themselves then that is their decision. It is hard to think "what if" if they already killed themselves. No one should feel sorry for these people because it was their choice.
While the individuals "crying for help" are not usually successfull. They are the ones that need support and "sorry" because they have a chance to live.

There should be no shame in suicide.
In the the Inuit culture, the elderly commit suicide. In Japanese culture, it was considered an honorable way to go.
Personally, I don't fear death - the dead don't suffer. I don't feel sorry for those who commit suicide, because in many cases they are better off!
It's those among the living who are suffering I feel sorry for.

I think it is a mighty selfish act, but I still feel sorry for them (unless of course they are pedo's/rapists, etc.) where they get themselves into such a dark place. But I can't imagine the torment the parents and love ones would go through. It might have been on here someone posted a link about a teenage girl who's ex-friends mother pretended to be a boy then broke her heart, so she killed herself, when they lady knew she had suicidal tendencies. Dispicable I wish that ***** had killed herself instead.

In those cultures it's part of who they are and they do that because they are old and sick or because they would rather die at their own hand than die in the hands of their enemies.
Samurai were also a warrior class, the whole of Japan didn't necessarily practice that as common.
I think people also don't take into account mental illness. I think a person has to be a little messed up in the head to contemplate taking their own life.
No matter what life has thrown at me, I have never contemplated suicide, ever. I have gone through some fuked up **** to but it's never even crossed my mind.
Now homicide on the other hand.......................

News Releases by Year
Today marks the one-year anniversary of Realtor® University's Master of Real Estate degree program. With 50 active students, the program is now one of the largest graduate real estate programs in the world.
Pending home sales rose in January, and have been above year-ago levels for the past 21 months, according to the National Association of Realtors®. There were healthy monthly gains in all regions but the West, which is constrained by limited inventory but was slightly improved.
Major commercial real estate sectors continue to improve, albeit slowly, with gradual economic improvement and job creation driving absorption of space, according to the National Association of Realtors® quarterly commercial real estate forecast.
Existing-home sales edged up in January, while a seller's market is developing and home prices continue to rise steadily above year-ago levels, according to the National Association of Realtors® .
HouseLogic.com, the award-winning, comprehensive website for homeowners from the National Association of Realtors®, can help you renew and revitalize your home-owner relationship, so you can fall in love with your home all over again.
A growing number of metropolitan areas had higher median home prices in the fourth quarter, with the national price showing the strongest year-over-year increase in seven years, according to the latest quarterly report.
Frustrated by continued uncertainty, a sluggish recovery, and a challenging investment environment, commercial investors generally appear eager to put the past behind them and adjust to the new normal.
Homeowners looking for the most return on their investment when it comes to remodeling should consider exterior replacement projects. According to the 2013 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report, Realtors® rated exterior projects among the most valuable home improvement projects.
Pending home sales declined in December but have stayed above year-ago levels for 20 consecutive months.
Existing-home sales eased in December but are well above a year ago, while limited inventory maintained the upward momentum in home prices, according to the National Association of Realtors®. Total sales in 2012 were the highest in five years, while the annual price rose the most since 2005.
