I baught an upper, good price and fast shipping. Made several other small parts orders, same thing. Good people to deal with.
January 18, 2012, 06:44 PM
I bought a lower in person in Dec 10, and the upper by mail in Nov 11. I got a good price on both. My upper came with a set of MOLLE pouches that I did not order but they were giving away at the time.
I posted a review of it when I first got the upper back in Dec. The fit and finish of both are good, and the rifle functions well. The charging handle is a little stiff, and the magazine well is a little tight. All of my mags fit, but some are tight and have to be forced in.
I haven't really done much accuracy testing, but I shot at least 300, probably more like 400+ rounds through mine before it started to malfuntion. Even then it was only that it sometimes the firing pin would no strike the primer because of the carbon buildup, not stoppages. I just cycled manually and continued to fire.

I have not dealt with the company directly but I have one of their lowers and it is better than middle of the road.

+1 on that.

I have a lower and BCG/CH that are all fine. Mag well is a little tight on some mags as noted above.

I bought a few of their stripped lowers thru Karri's Guns for $58 each (http://www.karrisguns.com/new-ar15-stripped-lower-receiver), service was great, and they shipped quickly to my FFL. I used Palmetto lower build kits to complete them, and everything fit fine. The finish machining & hard anodizing are right up there with higher priced lowers I've used. I think the stripped lowers are a great value at current prices.
From looking at Surplus Ammo & Arms' website, their complete uppers are a mix of parts from other makers that they assemble. For similar money I'd look at PSA and BCM uppers directly from their websites, or Colt and LMT uppers from sites like G&R Tactical.

I've only used their stripped lowers and they seem fine. The holes are where they should be and the right size.

+2 especially considering the price. I just built one up with a Del-ton M4 kit- soon to order a slide fire stock :)

The DD barrels they're listing are the old conventionally rifled bbls. They're still great bbls, but DD has been cold hammer forging all their barrels for a while now. Rock River's untested bolt carrier groups cost the same as the HPT/MPI groups from Spikes. $15 more gets you an HPT/MPI bolt from CMT or LMT. It's a competitive market, and better values are out there.

I've purchased two uppers from them. Prices were good and shipping was fast. Both uppers I gave as gifts and on one, the gas block became loose causing short stroking. Once retightened, everything is running fine.
January 27, 2012, 09:17 AM
I just ordered one of the chrome lined flat top complete uppers along with a lower parts kit and 6 position stock last night. I have been searching high and low for information about these uppers. The only real information I have found about these is that 2-3 people have had trouble with the gas block coming loose, people have said they put some loctite on the screw and that it's been good since. I plan to just go ahead and put some loctite on it when I get mine to prevent this from happening.
If anyone has anything else to say about these complete uppers, I'd love to hear it... good or bad.
January 27, 2012, 10:05 AM
Maybe someone knows but why are there uppers on gb cheaper than the ones on there websites.

While peanut butter exists to make some of us personally happy, it unfortunately lands the bad rap of packing an overwhelming amount of calories. How are you supposed to eat it every day when it insists on behaving this way? Thankfully with this noodle salad, you can actually satisfy your peanut butter cravings without going on an all-out calorie binge. These noodles are bulked up with tons of vegetables – bell pepper, bok choy, and edamame so that you get all of the delicious flavor of peanut sauce without quite as many calories. Definitely a win/win lunch or dinner.

New Housewives Neighbor Was Almost New Hubby
Photo: RON TOM/ABC(2)
Soap actor and new Desperate Housewives star Tuc Watkins, who plays "Dolce"-wearin' Bob, one half of the gay couple who's moved onto Wisteria Lane, says he originally auditioned for the role of the newest Desperate Housewives husband.
"I initially met (DH creator) Marc Cherry for the role of Dana Delany's husband that ended up going to my friend Nathan Fillion, who I've known since the mid-90s from One Life to Live," Watkins says. "And when I found out that Nathan got the part, I was very happy for my friend and wanted to put a knife in his neck all at the same time."
Things turned out okay for the actor, of course, as Bob and his partner Lee (Kevin Rahm) shook things up last week with a rather disastrous meeting with Susan, and will make even more enemies in the 'hood this week (Sunday, 9 p.m. ET, ABC) when their noisy lawn fountain sets off a little war amongst their fellow 'burb dwellers. It also helps turn up the heat under Katherine (Delany), who's, well, desperate, to keep her secret, the one that revolves around her daughter, Dylan.
"We get really woven into the storyline of the street pretty quickly," Watkins says. "Dana Delany's character is really the catalyst who tries to make us get rid of the fountain that we put in our front yard. So when she comes over and says, 'Okay, you gotta get rid of the fountain,' we say, 'Well, you know what, we think we're gonna keep the fountain and if we keep the fountain we promise not to tell everyone what your secret is.' And so we are fairly well armed."
Tell us: Do you think you have figured out Katherine's secret yet? –Kimberly Potts

2.1 Thera and the Exodus order details
Dear visitor,
My book Thera and the Exodus has now been available at Amazon and other online stores since February 2013 and I initially presented several articles based on my book on my website, with the intent of giving potential readers a taste of what they might expect in the book. However, I feel that these articles no longer serve any purpose and after some positive but mostly negative feedback for reasons I discuss in Section 2.2 below, I feel obliged to make a statement about and pose a challenge or two to my critics. Hence, "A Final Word (for now)".
Book reviews are listed in Section 2.3, but note that in the words of Dr Mark Harris, a lecturer at the School of Divinity at the University of Edinburgh, whose interests include the study of realism in physics and theology and the lawfulness of nature, Thera and the Exodus presents 'the most elaborate study' on the topic. With Thera and the Exodus I indeed attempted to collect every shred of information on the Exodus, whether uncontested manuscripts or legends of disputed validity, and I leave it to the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. Thera and the Exodus comprises a bibliography of just over 190 books and articles and close to 1200 references - one of the most complete, if not the best, collections of Exodus related information published under single cover to date.

2.2 Thera and the Exodus - A Final Word (for now)
I have to confess that I was (and will probably continue to be) astounded by the lack of interest from academics and scholars in the field, despite my theories being well defended and referenced. I soon learned that the main reason for this apathy is the 'olive tree' radiocarbon dating of the eruption of Thera (modern Santorini) to ca. 1613 ą13 years BCE, which predates by 250 years not only the conventional dates of the Exodus, but also my proposed eruption date during the reign of Amenhotep III, ca. 1360 BCE. In the words of Eric Cline on the possibility of a link between the eruption of Thera and the Exodus,
"Yes, there's a consensus - it ain't true. ... The problem is the dating ... It cannot be connected, no matter what .. I can see why you're saying this, and here's why it's just not gonna work ..."
Those of you who have read Thera and the Exodus Chapter 19 will have noticed that I do recognise this as a huge problem with my hypothesis, and that I have tried to reconcile this eruption date with one during Amenhotep's reign (1391-1353 BCE) in various ways. The most likely solution is suggested by the photographs in Figure 19.3, which show tsunami deposits on Crete containing rock-like fragments of solidified ash. This indicates that the tsunami must have shattered an earlier, continuous layer of solidified ash. According to Bruins and his colleagues these fragments were the remains of volcanic ash from the first phase of the eruption, "it can be concluded that airborne volcanic ash deposition over eastern Crete preceded the tsunami." The tsunami was evidently caused by the 3rd or 4th phase of the eruption. A first-phase ash deposit on Crete would still have been just that – a layer of ash - when the tsunami struck a couple of hours or days later. A tsunami would simply have washed it away and any remaining deposits would not have had the rock-like appearance shown in their photographs. As it probably takes decades if not a century or two for volcanic ash to solidify into something resembling concrete stone, logic would dictate that the ash from which these fragments had been formed, must have come from an earlier eruption. The olive tree would have been buried in ash during this earlier eruption (in 1613 BCE). It would seem that a second eruption had occurred much later, blowing the thick first-eruption layer, that then covered the mouth of the volcano, high up into the air, which a strong south-eastern wind carried to Egypt.
The Greeks remember two distinct floods, namely the floods of Ogygus and Deucalion. These floods are recorded to have occurred between 200 and 300 years apart, with 250 years mentioned specifically. Assuming that the first eruption had occurred ca. 1613, 250 years later would give us a date of 1363 BCE, which would confirm my proposed date of 1360 BCE. Several extrabiblical accounts link Moses to both floods, and also the Exodus to the time of both floods. The flood of Ogygus is specifically recorded to have occurred during the reign of Ahmose, in which case a flooded Egypt as recorded in the Tempest Stele of Ahmose begins to make sense. A second erupotion between 200 and 300 years later would match an eruption during the reign of Amenhotep III. Just how these two eruptions had become merged into a single Exodus event is discussed in Thera and the Exodus.
Further confirmation of an eruption during the reign of Amenhotepp III is that scarabs of him were found in the ruins of Jericho, a city that was also destroyed by fire. The narrative of the shout of the soldiers that brought the walls tumbling down must have been based on the sonic boom of a volcanic eruption, followed by a tremendous earthquake that caused the walls to collapse. A scarab of Amenhotep III was also found in the ruins of the palace at Knossos, Crete. Like Jericho and Ugarit, Knossos was also destroyed by fire. It is generally assumed that the Knossos palace was abandoned during the Late Bronze Age (1380-110 BCE), which would match an eruption of Thera around 1360 BCE.
Even if scholars and Egyptologists should reject this second-eruption hypothesis, how would they explain the following?:
The plagues of Egypt
There are numerous aspects of the biblical plagues of Egypt that cannot be explained in any manner other than having been caused by a volcanic eruption. These include the 'wall(s) of water' (tsunami), the ash like soot from a fire that descended upon Egypt and which was so thick that people could neither see (the plague of darkness) and hardly breathe (dense volcanic ash), the discolouring of the water all across Egypt (the result of the ash fallout), the pillar of cloud by day which turned into a pillar of fire by night (the ash cloud of a volcano), rocks with fire inside falling upon Egypt (volcanic rock blown into the atmosphere and falling upon Egypt), a sonic boom as recorded in the Koran, a path through the sea on which the Israelites escaped from Egypt (the Lake Manzala land bridge through the sea) and the horrific plague of boils caused specifically by the soot from Moses' furnace (a typical result of volcanic ash).
So, if the eruption of Thera occurred 200 to 250 years before the Exodus, how would the legends about the plagues have come into existence if nobody in Israel or Egypt had ever witnessed a volcanic eruption ? And how would they have been able to describe the after-effects of a volcanic eruption so accurately? And why apply it to the Israelites in Egypt? There is only one explanation - they witnessed it first-hand.
When did it happen?
The vast majority of modern scientists and Egyptologists seem to reject the notion that an Exodus had occurred at all. Manetho tells us that the Exodus event occurred during the reign of a pharaoh called Amenophis, who had a scribe of the same name. Manetho is therefore telling us that the pharaoh in question was Amenhotep III, who had famous a scribe called Amenhotep the son of Hapu. Graham Phillips recognised that the only set of circumstances in the Egyptian chronology that would match the circumstances of Moses in Egypt, was that of the household of Amenhotep III. His firstborn son, Crown Prince Tuthmosis, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances, closely matches the biblical Moses. In my book I present several arguments that prove this identification of Moses. For instance, has not one scholar or Egyptologist ever noticed that both Crown Prince Tuthmosis and Moses officiated at the first ceremonial burial of the Apis bull ? Manetho informs us that Moses sent messengers to the Hyksos kings in Jerusalem, inviting them to invade Egypt and join him in his fight against Amenhotep, which they did. The same event is described in practically identical fashion in the EL Arish Shrine text, where the person who sent the messengers to the Asiatics 'in their land' is called Seb, the son of king Shu, the ruler of Egypt. In my book I show that in those times the royal family members of Egypt were often given the names of ancient gods of Egypt. Has not one scholar ever noticed this common aspect of these two narratives ? Probably not, as they all seem to be convinced that the EL Arish Shrine text is simply a fairy tale concocted by an Egyptian priest or scribe. In Thera and the Exodus I show that the EL Arish Shrine text confirms several aspects of Manetho's version of the Exodus, including the violence used against the queen (Nefertiti) and the disappearance of King Shu's army (Amenhotep's retreat into Ethiopia with his officials and the entire Egyptian army for 13 'fatally determined' years, and the biblical story of the entire Egyptian army having been drowned in the sea).
Again I have to ask the learned professors - where did all these stories come from? How is it possible that they could share so many distinctive points, if not based on the truth?
About Joseph being Yuya and Saul being Labayu
Whenever a controversial claim is made in each and every field of study, it is guaranteed that its opponents will fiercely attempt to destroy its credibility. One such claim was made by Ahmed Osman in his book Stranger in the Valley of the Kings. In this book he argues that the biblical Joseph was none other than the Egyptian official called Yuya, who had a very close relationship with Amenhotep III. The vast majority of the arguments he uses in the book cannot be refuted directly, so to counter them it is usually argued that the specific attributes he identifies as unique to Yuya and Joseph, can apply to anyone in any of the Egyptian households. One particularly strong argument against Yuya being Joseph is that there appears to be no mention of the fact that Yuya's daughter Tiye became the wife of Amenhotep III and queen of Egypt. Surely that would have been remembered by the Jews? It seems that the critics of Yuya's theory are blissfully unaware of the legend of Joseph and Asenath, his wife, who supposedly ruled Egypt for 48 years. As Amenhotep III's right hand Joseph did effectively co-rule Egypt with the king, so vast were the powers the king had allotted him. And Asenath? It was not Asenath, but Tiye, who had married Amenhotep III at a young age and was still alive during the so-called Amarna era. The conventional duration of Amenhotep III's rule is assumed to be 38 years, but if he had fled to Ethiopia as claimed by Manetho (Amenhotep littered Ethiopia with his monuments, no doubt to mark it as his territory), he could easily have lived for another ten years. Tiye was alive for most of that time, hence the legend of Joseph and 'Asenath'. Simply put, a woman related to Joseph ruled Egypt for 48 years - it could not have been anyone but Tiye.
Crown Prince Tuthmosis was Yuya's grandson, which appears to disqualify Tuthmosis as the biblical Moses. According to the Old Testament several hundred years passed between Joseph arriving in Egypt and Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt. However, two ancient historians independently make Joseph and Moses contemporaries. In one instance both of them are made priests (both Yuya and Crown Prince Tuthmosis were Egyptian priests), and in the other Moses is the son of Joseph. He was in fact not the son but the grandson of Joseph. So, it would appear that the long time span between Moses and Joseph was either a simple error by the Old Testament scribe or scribes, or perhaps a lie deliberately introduced to distance Moses from Crown Prince Tuthmosis.
In his book A Test of Time David Rohl systematically identifies Labayu as the biblical Saul and a person named Dadua as the biblical David. Since Labayu was an Amarna contemporary, Rohl then moves the Amarna era later in time to the generally accepted era of the United Monarchy of Israel ca. 1000 BCE. His revised timeline has almost universally been rejected by academics. However, if we move the United Monarchy earlier in time to the Amarna era, numerous other pieces of the puzzle fall into place. The link between Labayu and Saul has been rejected by several scholars, amongst others who noted that the areas in which the two kings were active differ. This discrepancy could be nothing more than an error by either of the two scribes, but the other exploits in their lives match closely. Perhaps the most important of all is that Labayu, like Saul, is furious at his son joining his enemy. This event is like a fingerprint in time - how can it be explained away? In fact, in an article called Saul, the Last Labayu the renowned archeologist Israel Finkelstein states "I see a great deal of similarity between Sechem under Labayu and his sons in the 14th century and the Saul territorial entity in the 10th century B.C.E", yet rejects identification of one with the other on archaeological grounds. Would he put his head on the block that these two kings were not the same person? And is archaeology infallible? Apparently not, as Finkelstein himself had to revise the very dating he had proposed for so long.
If Saul and Labayu were Amarna contemporaries, so would Solomon have been, and also his Queen of Sheba. Josephus calls this queen the Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia, which scholars reject as an error by Josephus. But what if Sheba was a person, i.e. the Queen of Sheba was Sheba's queen (of Egypt)? Has no one ever considered this possibility? There was a very famous Sheba who was in fact a mortal enemy of David, and he could very well have been the father of Bathsheba, the wife David took from Uriah. David had her newborn son murdered, but she must have sent her young daughters to Joseph in Egypt to protect them from David. Messengers were sent between the Queen of Egypt and the king of Jerusalem, matching Manetho's account of messengers being sent to Jerusalem. If the Queen of Sheba was indeed the Queen of Egypt and Ethiopia, who ruled during the Amrana era, she could not have been anyone else but Nefertiti. How many scholars are aware of the Arabic document called The History of the Queen of Sheba? This document supports my theory in basically all respects, from Nefertiti being raised by Yuya as Joseph, to a popular revolt against the tyrant king and a treacherous banquet at which she murdered this king. It would seem that this legend too is regarded as nothing more than fantasy in academic circles. If so, how can the common thread between all these legends, as I point out in my book, be explained away?
Some other points of interest
Jehova supposedly revealed himself to Moses in a burning bush. What could the origin of this insane legend be? In my book I present proof that Moses, along with all the other firstborn children in Egypt, was to be sacrificed in a fire to appease the perceived anger of the gods, who wre punishing Egypt with a devastating plague. In fact, whereas the Bible attempts to create the impression that the Egyptians woke up one morning to find all of their firstborn deceased, Jewish legend tells us that they knew very well about the impending death of their children and attempted to hide them. In the end the Egyptian army had to be called in to ensure that their firstborn could not escape death. The only conclusion? These children were executed as commanded by the king (and his high priest). If this was not what had actually happened, how do scholars explain the story of the burning bush?
Regarding the identity of the legendary Egyptian king Sesostris, has any scholar ever considered the possibility that the name may be of Greek origin? It seems that scholars universally and without thinking twice identify Sesostris with Senusret, a Twelfth Dynasty king of Egypt, as also done by the Egyptian historian Manetho. There is of course a vague phonetic similarity between the names, but in my book I show that the name Sesostris, as well as its other forms Sesonchosis and Sesoosis, can all be translated directly from Greek (Sesostris = Se-sos-tris, meaning You-and-Yours-the-Third, an appelation earned by the Tuthmosid family who carried off entire nations, with their belongings, to work as slaves in Egypt), and that many of Sesostris' attributes closely match those of Tuthmosis III, probably the greatest ever of Egypt's pharaohs. I also show that some of the legends attributed to Sesostris actually relate to Amenhotep III, often called Egypt's Golden Pharaoh and like Tuthmosis the third ruler in his family.
I assume the most effective way to dispel any new theories which do not fit the conventional mould is to ignore them.
How to read Thera and the Exodus
I wrote Thera and the Exodus for a wide spectrum of readers, from those unfamiliar with Old Testament history to scholars in the field. That made the presentation of the book rather difficult and it will not read like a novel. For those of you who are not familiar with reading books of this type, I would recommend that you read it slowly at your leisure, and have a notebook at hand in which you can jot down whatever you wish to remember or read up again later, by page number. Apart from the Contents at the beginning, there is also a detailed Index at the back of the book, which should assist you in finding most of the important topics I deal with in the book. There is no need to check each reference in the text, as these are meant only to indicate where I got my information from. There are no additional comments in the references, as some authors like to do.
In case some of you should feel intimidated by the amount of information you have to digest without being and expert in this field, rest assured that ancient history is no longer the exclusive domain of university professors. The Internet has brought all the information we might need to the tips of our fingers, and all one needs to do is familiarise yourself with the basic facts, weigh up the different theories and make up your own mind, without relying on the learned others to do so on your behalf!
2.3 Thera and the Exodus reviews
ForeWord Clarion Review: Four stars (out of Five)
His work, Thera and the Exodus, is not antireligious; to the contrary, it is a well-organized, scholarly, richly illustrated, and heavily footnoted effort to prove that the great migration of the Jewish people out of Egypt under Moses did occur. ... Even if readers disagree with the conclusions Booysen puts forth ... those who like their Bible more for history than theology will greatly appreciate and thoroughly enjoy Thera and the Exodus. Booysen's grasp of, and evident enthusiasm for, Egyptology in particular is evident. He has delved deep into the history, legend, and archaeological evidence of the land of the pharaohs, and any who share his interests will find this book utterly fascinating and engrossing.

Riaan has been selected as Graham Hancock's Author of the Month for May 2013
"We are both pleased and honoured to welcome as May 2013 Author of the Month, Riaan Booysen. Please join Riaan on the AoM Message Boards this month, to discuss his new book Thera and the Exodus>, in which he researches and makes the case linking two ancient volcanic eruptions on the Mediterranean island of Thera (modern Santorini), with the biblical story of the Exodus. It's fascinating work and reading that demands attention."

Amazon customer review: Five stars (out of Five)
"Interesting combo of history and archeology - You will never think of history in the same way again. Thera (now called Santorini) was a monster of a Greek volcano which erupted circa 1500 B.C. and 1350 B.C. A great read."
Details here
Midwest Book Review - Highly Recommended
The history behind the events of the Bible is curious, trying to find reality in fact. "Thera and the Exodus: The Exodus explained in Terms of Natural Phenomena and the Human Response to It" is an intriguing and different interpretation of the Biblical story of Exodus. Riaan Booysen seeks to tell the story of the Thera volcano's unrest, and how the Amenhotep III, ordered a sacrifice of all the first born to appease the Gods, and how his own first born was saved...and that this son would become Moses. An intriguing take on the legend trying to connect human nature with natural history, "Thera and the Exodus" is an enticing read for a different take on ancient history, highly recommended.

Detailed Review by Online Book Club (three stars out of four)
"The more I read about ancient history--the more it becomes apparent how little we can truly know about the details and reality of what took place in the fascinating, turbulent, and sparsely documented lives of our ancestors. Thera and the Exodus is a treatise which attempts the gargantuan feat of sifting through vast jigsaw puzzle pieces of historical fact mixed in with misleading bits of legend posing as the truth, and tries to painstakingly separate the two--ultimately threading together a picture that may explain the real reasons behind the Exodus."
"I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the historical events that may have been the inspiration for biblical stories; and especially to anyone already invested in the subject."

Labour-Plaid deal delays council shake-up
Labour and Plaid Cymru have reached a deal that will see the Welsh Government's local government bill become law. The Public Service Minister, Leighton Andrews, has agreed with his Plaid Cymru shadow, Simon Thomas, that there will be no move to force councils to mereg until after next year's Assembly election.
The other opposition parties have poured scorn on the deal, accusing Plaid Cymru of selling out to Labour.

Councils shake-up: 'Dramatic' council tax rise warning
The Welsh Local Government Association has said that today's proposals to shake up local councils offers no further assurances for council tax payers in Wales. It warns that bills could rise dramatically without a clear approach to how council tax will be adjusted when there's a merger between councils that have been setting different rates.
The WLGA says there's no consensus between the councils and the Welsh government about today's proposals. It says they add to the maps and options set out in the Williams report last year but do not provide additional clarity or certainty. The councils say that with no political agreement, reorganisation will take at least five years and warn that disruption, distraction and uncertainty will continue.

New council map announced in shake-up proposal
The Welsh Government has published its plans to shake up local government. The current 22 local authorities would be replaced by either eight or nine new councils, with the only question left open is whether north Wales should have two councils or three.
The plans go further than the Williams Commission proposals for between 10 and 12 councils. The idea of following health board boundaries has also been rejected, with Bridgend grouped with Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil rather than Swansea and Neath Port Talbot.
But to get its plans through, Labour will have to win an outright majority at next year's Assembly election or do a deal with another party. All the opposition parties have other ideas so today's map is not yet a done deal.
The full list of proposed mergers is:
- Gwynedd, Anglesey and Conwy
- Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham
- Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire
- Swansea and Neath Port Talbot
- Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taf and Merthyr Tydfil
- Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan
- Newport, Monmouthshire, Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent and Caerphilly
Powys would remain unchanged and the option of merging Conwy and Denbighshire into an additional county is also on offer.
Council mergers plans for Wales rejected
Public Service Minister Leighton Andrews has rejected all three of the plans for voluntary mergers put forward by local councils. The proposals would have seen six councils become three ahead of the scheme for compulsory mergers which Labour plan to introduce if the party wins the 2016 Assembly election. They were:
- Bridgend to merge with the Vale of Glamorgan
- Torfaen to merge with Blaenau Gwent
- Conwy to merge with Denbighshire
The proposal from Bridgend and the Vale of Glamorgan broke guidelines that a new authority shouldn't cross health authority boundaries or include areas entitled to different levels of European aid.
The Torfaen-Blaenau Gwent merger was seen as partly an attempt to pre-empt a forced three-way merger combining both councils with Caerphilly.
Conwy and Denbighsire appeared to fit in with the Welsh Government's own thinking but the council leaders had made it clear that they would only go ahead if the costs of merger were fully funded by Cardiff Bay.
There will now be a rethink on whether to go ahead with legislation that would have enabled voluntary mergers to take place.

Welsh Government to press on with council shake-up
The Welsh Government will today emphasise its determination to cut the number of local councils. The First Minister will formally respond in the Senedd to the Williams Commission's plan to cut the 22 county and county borough councils by half.
The Local Government Minister will then publish a White Paper on the councils' future. The Government is pressing on despite so far failing to secure the cross-party support it's been seeking. Even the Welsh Labour Party has only just begun a three month consultation before deciding its position.
The Welsh Local Government Association has warned that the costs of reorganisation will be considerable but last week the First Minister made it clear that such objections are not going to stop him demanding that the councils merge into larger local authorities.

Council mergers "no silver bullet" say local leaders
Welsh local government leaders have warned that merging councils won't solve problems caused by what they estimate is a £2.6 billion budget shortfall facing Wales' public services as a whole. They claim that there's a "growing misperception" that reorganisation offers a "silver bullet".
The leaders, who are holding a conference in Llandudno describe the idea of merging councils, to cut their number from 22 to between 10 and 12, as "widespread speculation", though it was recommended in a report commissioned by the Welsh Government.
The conference is also hearing from the Local Government Minister, Lesley Griffiths. She's told councils that they must embrace "profound change" and that if they volunteer for mergers, elections to the new authorities could take place in May 2018.
- Nick Powell
Merge, save money and embrace change, councillors told
Welsh councils could start merging into new larger local authorities within four years, the Local Government Minister will announce later this morning. Lesley Griffiths will tell the Welsh Local Government Association conference in Llandudno that a "cosmetic redrawing of the map" won't be enough.
She'll add that although there's a need to save money, that's not what driving reform. The minister will claim that a "profound change" is needed to make local authorities fit for the 21st century. She'll also confirm that councillors elected in 2011 will serve five year terms.
The next local elections are being shifted from 2016 to 2017 to avoid a clash with the Assembly election. There could now be local elections two years running as further extending councillors' terms of office has been ruled out, presumably on the grounds that it would be bad for democracy.

Tough choices for local councils
Councils should not challenge auditor says Plaid
Plaid Cymru has welcomed the Welsh Government's action on council chief executives' pay but the party's spokesperson raised in the Senedd his concerns about how Carmarthenshire council has responded to an audit report.
The auditor found that Carmarthenshire acted unlawfully by making payments to its chief executive designed to help him to pay less tax on his pension.
The minister, Lesley Griffiths, declined to respond because of a potential police investigation.

Debris caught fire in the side yard of a home on Buffalo Dancer Trail near Tramway and Menaul boulevards.
Neighbors heard dogs barking, saw the flames and went to the home to evacuate the family.
Firefighters arrived within minutes and were able to contain the flames to the yard.

Darling Nikki (Part 18)
Part 18.. -Nicole When I got to school the next day I met up with Brenda and Tyler. â??Being up this early just isnâ??t natural.â? Tyler commented with big bags under her eyes. I agreed but Brenda was the exact opposite. She was all peppy and shit. As if the morning was delightful. â??You guys are crazy I love the morning time!â? She exclaimed flashing a bright smile. â??Whatever Alice this aint wonderland. Itâ??s too damn early to be that happy.â? Tyler replied making me laugh. â??I got my books and headed off to class. On my way I bumped into Tiffany and her stupid ass clones. â??Watch where the hell youâ??re going.â? She warned making me stop dead in my tracks. â??Sorry, donâ??t speak whore.â? I replied not turning back. â??Have you talked to Michael lately? Oh yea, I forgot.â? She spoke making my blood boil. But I chose to ignore it. â??Heâ??s falling so hard for Hilary, it would be such a shame if-â?? I couldnâ??t take it. I turned around cutting her off. â??Donâ??t fuck with Michael.â? I warned getting in her face. â??Why the sudden anger? Did I push a button?â? She asked as if she was pleased by my rage. â??You fuck with Michael youâ??re fucking with me. If that bald headed bitch breaks his heart. Let her know in advance that sheâ??s going to be missing teeth.â? Tiffany smiled at this. â??Aw itâ??s quite pathetic seeing you take up for someone who doesnâ??t give a shit about you. Yet you still care. How pathetic, you have a crush.â? All of the cheerleaders laughed which didnâ??t faze me. â??Like I said, donâ??t fuck with Michael.â? I made sure that my main point was given and with that I walked to class. â??If you really think about it, the United States was discovered by mere ignorance.â? Mr.Coleman spoke. I raised my hand knowing that I was starting shit but I had to ask. He called on me and I couldnâ??t help but smirk. â??What the hell does this have to do with math?â? I asked making the class laugh. He balled up a piece of paper and threw it at me. â??Shut up!â? he screamed causing me to laugh as well. A guy sat in an empty seat next to me and I already knew what was coming. â??So Nikki.â? He spoke making me cringe. â??Donâ??t call me Nikki, nobody calls me Nikki.â? I corrected him. â??Michael does.â? He said sounding as dumb as ever. â??Heâ??s the only one and itâ??s going to stay that way.â? I replied while rolling my eyes. â??So whatâ??s up with me and you?â? He asked as if we had discussed this before. â??I donâ??t even know your name.â? I responded laughing a bit. â??Oh so itâ??s like that? My name is Adam. Remember I told you that last week.â? He said this as if Iâ??d actually remember. â??Oh right, my bad I guess I didnâ??t recognize you. Is something different?â? I asked trying to make him feel better about himself. He smiled as if he actually fell for it. â??Yeah I cut my hair a little shorter.â? I nodded my head as if I cared. â??Thatâ??s what it is.â? I messed with it and he began to smile like a school girl. â??Are you gonna answer my question?â? He asked, trying to get back to his point. â??What question?â? I asked forgetting what we were talking about. â??Whatâ??s up with me and you?â? he asked for a second time. â??Weâ??ll see.â? I responded quickly while grabbing my books. The bell rang as soon as I stood up and I wasted no time to get out of there. During lunch time I actually sat in the cafeteria. Tyler sat with me and so did a bunch of other random people we didnâ??t know. â??Ugh Michael irritates me more and more as the days go by. His fake ass is hanging with the cheerleaders as if he didnâ??t hate them like three days ago.â? Tyler spoke trying to find reason in Michaelâ??s actions. â??Goes to show how stupid boys can be. Let a bitch trick them without even putting effort into it.â? I shook my head and continued to eat. Tiffany walked over to my table with a bunch of other girls. I was just ready. â??Greetings, want to beâ??s.â? She greeted flipping her hair around. â??You know for a person that hates me so much, you sure do come around often.â? I replied not even looking up at her. â??Just wanted to get a feel of what itâ??s like without Michael around. Pretty pathetic I must say. â??You know if I had a dick, Iâ??d tell you to suck it.â? Tyler spoke up making me laugh. â??Oh please, itâ??s not pretend like youâ??re big and bad just because this bitch goes to our school now.â? I was tired of her, beyond tired. I grabbed someoneâ??s milk off of their tray and opened it. â??If you donâ??t walk away, weâ??re going to fight.â? I announced finally looking up at her. She smiled as if she didnâ??t take me seriously. â??Oh how cute.â? She spoke poking her lip out. I got up from my seat with the milk in my hand. â??Last warning.â? When saying this, for a brief second I could see fear in her eyes. Out of no fucking where here comes Michael picking me up. â??Put me down! Iâ??m five seconds away from fucking you up! You better be glad!â? Michael carried me out of the cafeteria, annoying me on so many levels. â??Alright Iâ??m cool put me down.â? I spoke in a lower tone. He still didnâ??t put me down though. He just kept on walking. â??Yeah right Iâ??m not stupid.â? He replied, still walking down the hallway. He finally put me down and shook his head as if he was disappointed. â??Donâ??t feed me that Iâ??m disappointed shit because I really donâ??t give a fuck how you feel.â? He didnâ??t respond so I took that as my opportunity to continue. â??You know what? Youâ??re an idiot. One minute you hate the cheerleaders and then the next second youâ??re hanging out with them as if you actually like them? I know just as well as you do that you donâ??t like those bitches.â? Before I could continue he grabbed my arm and pulled me into a hug. A tight one at that, â??Iâ??m so sorry.â? He apologized making my heart softened. â??What just happened?â? I asked standing there with my arms down to my sides. â??I didnâ??t carry you out here to argue. Or to stop you from fighting Tiffany, because I wouldnâ??t mind that either. I know Iâ??ve been a jack ass and I wanted to apologize. Letâ??s face it Iâ??m not right without you harassing me. Letâ??s just stop this stupidity.â? He shook me and I felt a bit dizzy. â??Does this mean no more Hilary?â? I asked hoping that the answer would be yes. "No." he simply answered making my smile drop. â??Michael, sheâ??s-â?? â??She has nothing to do with our friendship; therefore I shouldnâ??t have to choose. Youâ??re my best friend, sheâ??s some girl I like. You two donâ??t have to have anything to do with one another. I couldnâ??t believe he cut me off. â??Did you just cut me off?â? I asked knowing that he couldnâ??t have. He rolled his eyes and began to walk back to lunch. â??Get over yourself Iâ??m not scared of you like everybody else.â? He said while slowly walking. â??Yes you are, youâ??re just good at hiding it. Little bitch.â? I mumbled the last part hoping that he wouldnâ??t hear. He stopped in his tracks and began to walk backwards. I became a bit nervous. Once he was beside me he stood there looking down at the ground. â??Do you want to run that by me a second time?â? He asked poking his ear out. â??I said uh Lilo and stitch, my favorite cartoon.â? I lied and he knew it. â??Oh really? Because it sounded more like you called me a little bitch.â? He began to push me towards the lockers. â??You heard wrong.â? I informed him, trying to get around him. He grabbed my shoulders and pressed me to the lockers. â??Donâ??t make me.â? I warned him trying to get out of his grasp. He lifted me off of the ground and had me against the locker. â??I feel like such a nerd.â? I said while laughing. He put me down and I dramatically slid all the way to the ground. He shook his head and continued walking. I had my old friend back.

Family history: Before it's too late!
Today I read a moving article in The Guardian - "Top five regrets of the dying." It made me wonder about my own life. The first thing that came to mind was my family history project.
The article is based on Australian nurse Bronnie Ware, who spent several years working in hospice care with patients in the last few months of their lives. She included the patients' comments in a blog, Inspiration and Chai and authored a book, The Top Five Regrets of the Dying.
Among the common regrets:
- I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected.
- I wish I had not worked so hard. Continue reading "Family history: Before it's too late!" »

New this week on DVD and Blu-ray:
"Sound City" - In his directing debut, Dave Grohl takes what could have easily been a collection of talking heads reminiscing about a fabled southern California recording studio and turns it into so much more. The documentary celebrates Sound City - the place where Nirvana, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Fleetwood Mac, Rick Springfield, Rage Against the Machine and others recorded seminal albums - but it also is a celebration of the collaborative and communal nature of great music.
Musicians may be able to record an album on a laptop that can recreate any musical instrument and use ProTools to smooth out any wrong notes. But they can't duplicate what happens when a bunch of players are in a room together reacting to each other, pushing each other and trying to impress the hot receptionist with each take. (RCA, $18.98 DVD, $24.98 Blu-ray)
"Life of Pi" - Ang Lee won the Academy Award for Best Director and this film picked up three other Oscars this month as it adapts Yann Martel's best selling novel about a young man who finds himself fighting for survival on a lifeboat where his only companion is a deadly Bengal tiger.
Extras include storyboards, an art gallery and the featurettes "A Filmmaker's Epic Journey," "A Remarkable Vision" and "Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright." (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, $29.98 DVD, $39.99 Blu-ray)
"Rise of the Guardians" - This animated feature, based on William Joyce's books, imagines that Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy the Easter Bunny and others are part of an Avengers-like crew of superheroes. They put their powers to use to battle the Boogeyman - Pitch Black.
Extras include a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film and interactive games. (DreamWorks Animation, $29.99 DVD, $39.99 Blu-ray/DVD/digital copy combo, $54.99 3D Blu-ray/Blu-ray/DVD/digital copy combo)
"Hitchcock" - Remember decades ago when biofilms used to feature better-looking actors in stories that smoothed away the rough edges in the characters they portray? This film about Alfred Hitchcock and his wife, Alma, which focuses on the making of "Psycho," is sort of like that.
The film shows the battles Hitchcock went through to get "Psycho" made, but it also tells a story of a director who learns to appreciate his wife as both a spouse and a collaborator. It's essentially the exact opposite story as the HBO film "The Girl," which focused on Hitchcock's obsession with Tippi Hedren while making "The Birds." I don't know which film is more accurate. I suspect "The Girl" might be, but this one is more entertaining.
Director Sacha Gervasi and Stephen Rebello, who wrote the book on which the movie is based, provide a commentary track. The disc also includes a deleted scenes and multiple featurettes. (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, $39.99 Blu-ray/DVD/digital copy combo)
Winstead joins director James Ponsoldt for a commentary track, and the disc also includes deleted scenes and two featurettes. (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, $30.99 DVD, $35.99 Blu-ray)

Campus Dance
Campus Dance:
Friday, May 27, 2016 [ 9 pm – 1 am ]
One of Brown's best-loved Reunion and Commencement traditions, the Campus Dance brings over 11,000 people to Brown to dance the night away under a sky lit with over 600 paper lanterns. The evening joins together graduating seniors and their families, alumni of all ages, and Brown faculty and staff. Everyone enjoys meeting old classmates, seeing favorite professors, and being with friends and family.
The Dance is a fun mix of people dressed in gowns and tuxedos and those dressed more casually in jeans or shorts. The evening ends with the Senior Sing—an informal and light-hearted rendition of Brown's alma mater.
The College Green is transformed into an outdoor ballroom with a giant dance floor for swinging to the sounds of Duke Belaire and his Swing Orchestra, while the Ruth J. Simmons Quadrangle (Lincoln Field) is for the young-at-heart, featuring two of Brown's student bands. See photo gallery.

...is not winter in Florida. Since I (and my husband) am older and have spent a few winters in snowy parts of the US, I tried to prepare our daughter, Hannah, for life in a snow zone, but I think I was only partly successful. She has learned a lot this past winter, and I believe she will be better prepared next year.
On the plus side, she loves the snow. I know some Floridians that never adjust or learn to embrace the diverse seasons. The snow days this semester were a lot of fun for her. Hannah had seen snow briefly the year before when we visited our older son at Southern, but she had never seen anything like the recent snowy days.
On the negative side, the hoodie was not warm enough, even with layers; and her feet were wet and cold, and her pants soaked, but as you can see in the photo, she loved every minute of it. She has since gotten some boots that should keep her feet dry and she does have a dress coat, but will have a real winter jacket for next year. Also next year we will invest in some really warm socks, gloves, and another hat or two.
You really can't buy winter clothing in local Florida stores appropriate for a snow climate. I used on-line shopping for some items (a hat, gloves and scarf), and encouraged Hannah to buy locally in the Chattanooga/Collegdale area. She got her dress coat and a few items there, but I could not convince her to buy more. I think she will invest next fall in a few more items. Very close by is a Walmart and a Tractor Supply. I like Walmart for the prices and Tractor Supply for the quality. I believe she got her coat locally at Burlington Coat. I also made her a lined wool dress for church. I have plans this summer to make her some lined wool slacks, skirt, and a winter jacket (patterns and fabric are here - just waiting on Hannah to get back home so I can fit her). I am so glad she enjoys the Collegedale winters - she has several more years to experience them, Lord willing.

Medicine is serious business, but physicians have always tried to balance the heavier aspects of their work with humor and lightness. Hippocrates,1 for example, wrote that physicians should cultivate a serious and respectable image, but at the same time he advised them to use wit in interacting with their patients because "dourness is repulsive both to the healthy and to the sick." While humor is frequent in the clinical setting, much of it occurs among professionals, rather than within the physician-patient relationship. Such humor arises in response to the difficult and stressful situations that occur in medicine and takes the form of irony, "put-downs," and gallows humor. In this article, we focus on the use of humor as a timeless mode of communication between physicians and patients, and we review the benefits and risks of humor in today's pressured physician-patient encounters.

Fat Free Food Labels
Food Label Glossary
In order to call a food item "fat free" it needs to have less than 0.5 grams of fat per labeled serving. Here's the skinny on fat. We all need it. The problem is a little bit of fat goes a long way and there are so many important healthy foods that deliver fat that it leaves little wiggle room for the "bad stuff." Most of your fats should be from healthy olive oil, nuts, salmon, and avocado – none of which come in much packaging.Next Prev Slide 4 / 24

Mardi was coming around for about 6 weeks before we decided we needed to trap and rescue her. She's totally feral. But we've done this before. "She will be assimilated. Resistance is futile!" The trapping and spaying went well, it's just introducing her to the cat family and making sure she doesn't destroy our house in the process that's going to take time. This as of 9/10. More later.

Emblematic of royalty and spirituality, purple has a powerful effect on our emotions. From serious, smoky wine to youthful fuchsia, its varied hues are surprisingly versatile and diverse.
For gorgeous purple paint shades and exceptional results, use Aura®paint. Its color richness, vibrancy, and superior performance make it the perfect choice for your home.
[Color representations can only approximate the actual colors on painted surfaces due to monitor calibration. For a true representation of Benjamin Moore's purple paint colors, you can purchase Color Samples and Fan Decks from our Online Store or from your local Benjamin Moore retailer.]
blue viola (1424)
A mid-tone purple with blue-violet undertones, blue viola has a jewel-like intensity. Pretty and fanciful without being too feminine, this beguiling shade is perfect in a bedroom.
queen's wreath (1426)
A blue-violet hybrid, this almost mystical royal purple invites you to sit back and enjoy its understated beauty. Evoking calm, confidence and a relaxed nature, it's among the best purple paint colors for a rich and regal dining room.
african violet (2116-50)
Capturing the delicate nature of its namesake, this soothing pale red-violet has just enough gray to coordinate easily with other colors. Its hue suggests summer lilacs and lavender.
amorous (AF-600)
Intense without being overpowering, this soft shade of purple with red undertones imparts a sense of grandeur and opulence to any room.
kalamata (AF-630)
A velvety plum that envelopes a room, kalamata creates a powerful sense of drama and dimension. Rich and regal, it appears almost textured in its depth.
Note: On-screen and printer color representations may vary from actual paint colors.

Mine are also just fine. Make sure that your cables and wires are tightly secured.
