LOCAL! GoNOMAD DESTINATION MINI GUIDE
With breath-taking sunsets, powder-white beaches, the Seychelles are a tropical paradise like no other. And not just because of the endemic coco-de-mer palm whose startling resemblance to the female form has many believing it to be the biblical forbidden fruit. The main islands of this tiny Indian Ocean archipelago are the only mid-oceanic granite islands in the world.
This has given them a unique and stunningly beautiful landscape of steep lush-green hills and huge, majestic boulders.
The Seychelles are famed for their laid-back atmosphere and one of the islands even boasts that visitors go there to do absolutely nothing! However, there is plenty to keep nature enthusiasts busy.
The 92 islands are home to giant tortoises, a host of endemic birds and dozens of endemic, tropical plants. As for the turquoise-blue waters encircling the islands, they are a haven for diving, snorkeling and deep-sea fishing.
The best time of year to visit is May or September and October. June to August may be a little cooler, but seas can get extremely rough around this time of year so it is not the ideal season for water sports activities. November to January is the rainy season. March and April are the hottest months and visitors used to cooler, drier climates may find the heat and humidity a little unbearable.
By Air
Visitors can fly to the Seychelles from major airports in the UK, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, South Africa, Kenya and Singapore. There are no direct air links from the American continent. Though some US-based cruise lines do make a port visit. The international airport in Seychelles is located on the main island, Mahe. Arriving visitors can easily get a tour bus or taxi to take them to their hotels. There are daily flights to Praslin and the islands of Bird, Fregate and Denis islands.
By Sea
It is possible to buy boat tickets for the three main islands, Mahe, Praslin and La Digue from the inter-island jetties on each of them. Excursions to other islands are generally arranged through tour operators or hotels.
Getting Around
Renting a car is the easiest and most convenient means of traveling around the two largest islands, Mahe and Praslin. Alternatively, you could travel by taxi. Many drivers are more than willing to act as tour guides. The public bus service is fairly reliable and cheap. However, buses only run during the day and in some instances you may need to change buses to reach your final destination. There are few cars on La Digue and the best means of getting around there is by renting a bicycle. The ox-carts on La Digue are more of a novelty than a real form of transportation. Other islands are too small for any transport other than foot!
To savor the full experience of the Seychelles, island-hopping is a must. An ideal itinerary would encompass the breath-taking views on Mahe, a visit to the primordial palm forest on Praslin, the old world charm of La Digue, the wonder of the underwater world of the Sainte Anne marine park, the tranquility of Fregate and Denis and Bird and the unique endemic flora and fauna of islands such as Curieuse and Cousin. But above all, it is the islands' beaches that are the main attraction. The fine white coral beaches of the Seychelles are the most beautiful in the world, and yet are rarely crowded. The two most outstanding are Anse Lazio on Praslin island and Anse Source d'Argent of La Digue.
- Vallee de Mai, Praslin Island
The giant nut of the coco-de-mer, an endemic palm tree that only grows on the Seychelles islands of Praslin and Curieuse, bears such an uncanny resemblance to the human female pelvis that many have claimed it to be the forbidden fruit! The nut, affectionately nicknamed "the love nut," can weigh up to 40 pounds and is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest seed in the world.
For a small fee you can visit L'Union Estate where you can watch the work at a traditional copra kiln or visit the 19th century colonial house where British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his family stayed during their holidays to Seychelles.

- Sainte Anne Marine National Park
Glass-bottom boats or semi- offer excursions through the natural aquarium of the Sainte Anne Marine national park, just a few minutes away from the harbor of the capital Victoria. The park boasts a rich variety of fish, coral and other marine life. After feeding fish, you can picnic one of the tiny islands in the park.

Look at this pic -- what the heck? Wife and I moved in with the ceiling fan hanging like this, about two inches off the ceiling. This is in the bedroom, over the bed, and now I'm lying awake nights wondering if some big roach or spider is about to fall out of there... :eek:
Actually it looks worse in person than in these pics. I've never put up a ceiling fan -- any advice on where to begin fixing this? Any advice is much appreciated!

- Library of Alexandria
One of the most important questions for any student of the ancient world to address is 'how do we know what we know about antiquity?' Whether we're thinking about urban architecture, or love poetry, or modern drama, a wide range of factors shape the picture of antiquity that we have today. This free course, Library of Alexandria, encourages you to reflect upon and critically assess those factors. Interpreting an ancient text, or a piece of material culture, or understanding an historical event, is never a straightforward process of 'discovery', but is always affected by things such as translation choices, the preservation (or loss) of an archaeological record, or the agendas of scholars.
After studying this course, you should be able to:
- understand the ancient and modern significance of the Library of Alexandria
- critically assess the evidence in the different accounts of its destruction
- understand the ways in which different modern contexts and ideologies shape our interpretations of historical events.

Library of Alexandria
This OpenLearn free course encourages you to reflect upon and critically assess the factors that shape what we know about antiquity, as well as offering some insight into how different approaches to antiquity – whether through texts, material culture, or modern receptions – can work together. It is important to be aware of how studying the ancient world is always, at heart, an interdisciplinary endeavour, a fact which the case study in this free course demonstrates particularly well. You will explore the ancient Library of Alexandria, a great institution of learning and scholarship founded by the Ptolemaic rulers of Alexandria in the 3rd century BCE.

Our necklaces are very lightweight and looks great with everything and are made from fabric/yarn. They can dress up an ordinary t-shirt or add a splash of color. They are adjustable using a clear pony bead. The length of the necklace is approximately 23 inches and slips on over your head. Adjustable from neck to the longer length or anywhere in between. You can also turn the necklace around and completely change the look. These necklaces are also great for people allergic to metals or who have arthritis and have difficulty using traditional clasps on necklaces. Looks like BEADS but without the WEIGHT! Also, my necklaces can be used as a headband and looks great around a summer straw hat. How to store: Pull bead all way down from top know. This way it will not tangle.

New ICC executive looking forward to advancing cricket in the Americas
New International Cricket Council's (ICC) regional development manager for the Americas, Ben Kavenagh, has spent the past few weeks in Toronto getting his feet wet before jumping into the pool.
He returns to his Australia home next week to spend the Christmas holidays before coming back to the city around the middle of January with his wife and four young children.
Outgoing manager Martin Vieira is assisting Kavenagh, who beat out almost 300 candidates for the job, with the transition.
"I am here just trying to get my feet under the table while securing accommodation for the family and looking at schools for the kids," Kavenagh told Share.
He said his wife, who is a chiropractor, was very receptive to moving to a new country.
"She and the children are looking forward to the experience here," said Kavenagh, a father of four. "My young children have never seen snow, so that is going to be something new and exciting for them. The time is just right now to try something new because the kids are still relatively young."
Kavenagh's eldest child is nine years old.
Kavenagh, who holds a Bachelor of Commerce and a Master's degree in Business Administration, was general manager of the Ballarat Football League and Geelong Supercats of the South East Australian Basketball League. He held a similar position with the Geelong Football Club and was a marketing assistant with Greyhound Racing Victoria.
His most recent job was chief executive officer of the South Adelaide Football Club.
"I led and managed people and I was involved with league teams, participation, community programs, media and putting grants together," said Kavenagh. "So really other than the shape of the balls, I think there are a lot of similarities between what I did in some of my jobs in Australia and the new role I am assuming. Cricket is certainly a game that I grew up with and was really engaged in and I have always worked in sports administration. The ability to combine the two in an overseas environment was something that really appealed to me."
The new ICC regional development manager for the Americas said he played cricket in school and at the club level.
"I played a fair bit of it at a modest level," said Kavenagh. "I grew up in a town where there was the Australia Football League in the winter and cricket in the summer and I competed in the two sports during those seasons. I grew up in a cricket culture and the sport is a big part of my DNA."
Kavenagh said he saw the vacancy while surfing the Internet during a vacation to the United States and Mexico last summer.
"The job looked appealing and I thought I am capable of doing it," he said. "I was also having a good time on the trip and I figured it would be fantastic to bring my family to the other side of the world and have an experience of living outside Australia…I did a lot of research on the role and the region and I talked to some cricketing people in Australia who have had experiences overseas. I was trying to pick their brains a little bit on various things."
Two weeks ago, Kavenagh met Cricket Canada's administrators at their Christmas dinner in the city.
"They were all very eager to talk about the sport," he said. "While passionate, they were however realistic about where the sport is in Canada and where they need to take it. That's really refreshing and I am looking forward to making that relationship even stronger."
Kavenagh will attend the regional Division Two tournament in the Bahamas from February 7 to 12, the Division One competition in Florida from March 17 to 25 and the six-team ICC World Cricket League (WCL) Division Three series from April 28 to May 5 in Bermuda before participating in his first Americas forum in Argentina in late May.
He said his main goal is to increase participation in the region and ensure the sport continues to grow beyond the traditional cricket-playing countries.
"A lot of the countries have got some strong participation at the elite level while others need to improve," said Kavenagh. "Promoting the sport to allow more people to play and the overall general development are where my focus is going to be. I think every country has its unique opportunities and challenges.
"I will have a better grasp of how we are going to move forward after meeting with representatives from all of the countries in the region. The Americas has a lot of potential and I can't wait to get my teeth into it and play a role in advancing the sport in the countries."
Kavenagh does not plan to move the ICC Americas office set up in Toronto when Vieira was appointed the region's first development manager nine years ago.
"There are a lot of bigger issues to deal with," he said. "That is not on my radar."
The Americas is one of five regional offices within the ICC Development program and Kavenagh will be responsible for planning, managing and delivering myriad development programs across the region's Associate and Affiliate member nations, including Canada.

Editor: For many years, I have watched as members of various county law enforcement agencies seemingly target skateboarders. In my opinion, this is getting quite out of hand.
If city or county government would agree to build, or at least assist in building, a skatepark where we could go without the fear of being harassed by law enforcement officials, it would be fantastic. Instead, however, seemingly more restrictions are being placed on those who participate in a perfectly legitimate sport.
For example, on the streets and sidewalks of downtown Lexington, it is perfectly acceptable to walk, jog or ride a bicycle, yet it is still a crime to skateboard even in the middle of the night. Something really should be done about this. We need a place in Lexington to skate.

Proud of his dad
Editor: I have read letter after letter about Sheriff Gerald Hege's work, too. In response to Dene Murrell's letter to the editor, I just want to say, I think you need to do some more homework than what you do, for you obviously don't know how to research someone. This guy is only tons of media hype, and you can't see the cold hard truth about what he's doing to Davidson County.
I'm coming from firsthand knowledge when I say that you need to at least look at the paper every once in a while. I say this because my grandfather reads the paper every day, and a man that doesn't even care about any of this talks about Hege's "wrong doin's." The quote comes from my grandfather.
David Leonard has done nothing more than try to live a life that everyone deserves, and when people like you talk about his life the way you have, that is some serious business. Besides, you don't know his life as well as you think you do anyway. This I know because you get all of your information from your sister.
I'm not going to let Mr. Leonard be criticized by false information after the wonderful work he's done. The letter you wrote doesn't say anything except that you don't like David Leonard. Your source of information is nothing more than revenge. David Leonard has worked hard for what little he has, and I admire him for what he's dealt with.
I just want to see a sheriff that can do the right job, not one that can produce the right TV show or drive some fancy spider car. Mr. Leonard never cared about the car or the hype while he worked for Davidson County. He cared about the lives he was saving or possibly changing.
I live with my father and I have seen what he's gone through. I'm proud to say that David Leonard's my father, and he's not the only one that Hege has ruined.
Justin Leonard
Cooper plays politics
Editor: I would like to briefly respond to your April 27 editorial regarding Agriculture Commissioner Meg Phipps and Attorney General Roy Cooper. I am the attorney representing E. James Strates and his family business in these matters.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but let's at least get some key facts out on the table.
Fact: The attorney general's own lawyers DIRECTLY participated in the mediated settlement conference that resulted in ending the Strates' administrative appeal.
Fact: An assistant attorney general ACTUALLY SIGNED the settlement agreement.
Fact: The agreed-upon $50,000 will be paid from state fair revenues not a dime from taxpayer dollars.
Fact: The Strates have not sued anyone in court for money damages; instead, we filed an administrative appeal because North Carolina law required that we do that or lose all legal rights to challenge the midway selection process.
Fact: State law specifically provides that the attorney general has NO authority to challenge a settlement agreement where the amount to be paid is less than $75,000.
Fact: Once the attorney general raised his "public policy" concerns over the good faith commitments made by the Department of Agriculture and Commissioner Phipps, we offered to take ALL of those provisions out of the settlement agreement in exchange for a simple, good faith commitment by the department and commissioner to consider implementing some or all of those very positive and beneficial changes to the midway selection process changes that everyone who reads them would have to agree will go a long way toward assuring all North Carolinians that the state fair midway selection process in the future will be insulated from any potential tie to political campaign contributions.
The bottom line is that most of the agreed-upon changes in the midway selection process are good for North Carolina. The real shame is that it took a legal filing to get those, and that your paper will not recognize the fact that the present meddling by the attorney general has destroyed the potential to move forward on these matters in a positive way.
Your editorial is premised on a ridiculous assumption namely, that paying the relatively small sum of $50,000 somehow "buys" the commissioner out of a simple deposition or out of any campaign finance investigation exposure. Whatever campaign contribution issues do or do not exist, that is for the State Board of Elections (and perhaps Roy Cooper if he was interested in doing his job) to decide.
The payment of this money from state fair revenue sources simply was an appropriate way to allow the Strates to partially recover some of their legal costs and thereby resolve a bona fide legal dispute something done every day in resolving legal disputes all over the world.
Let's admit the real bottom line reality. The meddling by the attorney general is all about trying to make political mileage out of a paltry $50,000 settlement that does not involve a cent of taxpayer money. That's how I see it.

Brogues For Men
Owning a pair of men's brogues is a must-have for any footwear collection. As a classic and timeless look, you can wear them casually with a pair of jeans, or with a suit on more formal occasions. Whilst brogues are epitomised by their decorative design, they come in many different styles and colours, all with comfort in mind. There is a great choice of brogues with the popular brand Bellissimo

Featured in Wildflowers of the World – Apr 8, 2011
Featured in Endangered or Vulnerable Plants – June 4, 2010
Cypripedium acaule (Orchidaceae) – this native orchid, also known as Pink Lady's-Slipper prefers acid soil such as is found in pine woods. They bloom in late spring.
The Lady's Slipper is known in the United States and Canada as the Moccasin Flower, from its resemblance to a shoe or moccasin.
The Pink Lady's Slipper is a herbaceous perennial with thick fibrous roots. It has two large, basal leaves; that is, the leaves seem to grow from the base of the plant, next to the ground. The leaves, up to 20 cm long, are strongly veined, elliptic in shape, and are thinly pubescent (have a thin covering of short hairs). They are a medium green in color and may have lighter colored spots. A single flower stalk arises from between the two leaves growing to as much as 40 cm above the ground. Each stalk produces a solitary flower. The large (3 – 6 cm long), inflated lip of the flower (the slipper part) is usually dark pink in color, but the shade will vary, and white varieties are known. The sepals and petals surrounding the lip are usually reddish brown, but may be tinged with green. The sideways pointing petals are twisted into a spiral.
Loss of native orchid species and their habitat is a significant environmental problem in Manitoba as it is all over the world. Habitat loss is the primary threat to native orchid species. Most of our orchid species grow in or adjacent to wetlands and Manitoba has lost 70% of its wetlands since 1900. Another critical orchid habitat, for our three endangered species, is the Tall Grass Prairie. We have less than 1% of our Tall Grass Prairie remaining. Agriculture and housing development, resource extraction such as logging and mining, and wetland drainage are all major causes of habitat loss. Failure to thrive, including an inability to reproduce sexually due to pollinator loss, disease and environmental stress, are all related to habitat loss and/or modification.

|Minimum Stay
|4 nights
This lovely year-round log home is located on ten wooded acres, with a running brook, and a pond. A family of beavers can frequently be spotted in the pond at sundown. The large wrap-around deck is wonderful for sunning, reading, outdoor dining or star-gazing.
Harper's Acadia Lodge is extremely well and lovingly maintained by owners who pride themselves on this cabin.
Each season some new improvement is added. This year, a kayak has been made available for use on the pond.
The cabin has 3 bedrooms, 2 with queen sized beds and one with twin beds. All linens are furnished. The are two full bathrooms.
This was the first vacation for our family in Bar Harbor and your beautiful cabin in the woods was the perfect place for us. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in providing for our every need!
It was our first time to Maine and the Harper Lodge was perfect. Accommodations, from the Kitchen to the amenities in the bathrooms and bedrooms were very nice. The large deck and new Weber grill was very convenient and relaxing. Beautiful property, with smells of the evergreen forest and only sounds were of the forest. We found location convenient to Acadia park loop road and to Bar harbor.
I highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a comfortable place to sit back
and relax after a day of exploring the Island.
I spent two weeks at this modern log Cabin with friends. We had plenty of room, found the cabin to be very comfortable as well as convenient for heading off to any destination we chose in and around the Acadia Park. The cabin inside and out was both relaxing and clean. The inside is complete with furnishings, kitchen supplies and entertainment.
Several times I saw deer across the pond and we may have seen the brightest
and clearest view of the Milky Way that I have ever witnessed. Neighbors are few
and out of view. If you enjoy country living, this is the place.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harper's Acadia Lodge, and its beautiful surroundings. The house came equipped with every possible amenity, and then some! A great retreat, close to all the action, but not too close. We loved exploring the area and wished we could stay longer. We will definitely be back soon, a fabulous house and Bar Harbor is just spectacular. Lulu the Lobster Boat tour is a must!
Come to Bar Harbor, the first place to see the Sun in the United States. Mount Desert Island's (MDI) unique topography provides a mixture of natural woodlands, waterways and mountains. Experience activities ranging from golf, fishing, birding, biking, boating to mountain climbing all without leaving MDI. Take a mail boat to the Cranberry Islands. Climb the 'Bubbles' and then reward yourself with high tea at Jordon Pond House where giant popovers and strawberry jam are made using the same recipe originally used in the late 1800's

Taking Full Advantage of All Three Amazon Programs
« Back to Independent Articles
If it weren't for Amazon.com, I would sell only a few books. I've put a lot of effort into maximizing my sales with them, since I don't yet have many other useful sales channels. (I just signed up with Baker & Taylor but haven't started working with them; I sell some books by mail order but haven't figured out a low cost way to accept charge cards, and I tried using PayPal awhile back but never worked out the bugs.) Because many good articles in the PMA Newsletter and online articles have helped me, I thought I should take the time to write up what I've learned about Amazon's three programs. I hope it will make life easier for other small publishers.
Amazon Advantage
In the Advantage program, you sell on consignment with a 55 percent discount and pay a yearly membership fee of $29.95. As Amazon sells the books, it pays you. Why would a consignment arrangement benefit you? Because it means Amazon orders plenty of books and usually has sufficient stock. In our experience, online retailers that do not buy a book on consignment don't stock it or don't do a good job of stocking it. If your book isn't in stock, the chances of making a sale are greatly decreased.
Returns in the Advantage program are negligible. In the year and a half that Pete Publishing has participated, we've had only two copies of There Is Eternal Life For Animals returned, and they came back because of damage du…IBPA Members – Click here to view the full article (login required).

About "Spirit Weave" by negativesleep
Spirit Weave
Design by negativesleep
I fell in love with a pattern that I found on a piece of Native American pottery at the Heard Museum here in Phoenix. I changed the pattern a little since the original one that inspired this spiraled inward and the diamond shapes got smaller as they got closer to the hole in the top of the pot. You can check out the photo that inspired this design on my flickr page via the link below. I added more layers and color to it and flattened it out. I think this would be a great design for Blik wall art, totes, or a shirt and could be changed to fit a variety of color combinations. I hope you like it!
Very nice. $5
Hmmm.... I only said thanks once put it posted 3 other times. Oh well I guess I'm very thankful.
Using the blue in every second line of the wall pattern looks very nice.
Oh, and as for comments, you must have used the back button... silly glitch in the system!
Very nice!
looks good. very well done

Nice one!

"Very intresting of what projects can be done with tp. We use them a lot for projects with children and this one will be this week project. Though, i think the colors can be more traditional with green and red or maybe golden colors with the green tree. I am sure the children will chose the traditional, but personally i like this one. Can be placed in any wall and every season."
"How cute are these fun and colorful little birds! I really like how easy they are to make. Can you really make a flamingo like mulberrygalprinces s says you can? That would be so cute to make. I love the idea of making several kinds of birds. My stepdad loves birds, so I can see making all kinds of these for him to add to the christmas tree or just to decorate the house."
"What a fun and festive way to use up a pile of paper clips that you never use! I love that you made them in various colors. I think it is so neat to use magnets on them too. You could use them to hang pictures from on a refrigerator or file cabinet."

This neckwawrmer is great! It is to pull over the head, but the opening is wide enough not to mess up your hair (as was someone's concern) and is long enough to pull up over your ears if need be
Feb 23, 2010
For Posie From reading the instructions, looks like it's something you pull over your head.
Jan 22, 2010
Looks interesting, but instructions don't tell me if this pulls over your head or if you could just wrap it around. Over the head is not good for your hair style.

I know. I have asked them about enabling magnification, but was told it isn't done for Sherpa comics.
User cbrsarah recommended pressing the "control + plus key" a couple of times. It works in my browser. Any luck for you?
Had the same problem with my Sherpa comic – So I cheated, doing it in a two-frame by two-frame block, instead of a horizontal panel. Everything is much more legible (Albeit taller than the regular comics).

COMMONWEALTH EX REL. HOME FOR THE JEWISH AGEDv.KOTZKER, APPELLANT.
Appeal, No. 107, Oct. T., 1955, from order of Municipal Court of Philadelphia County, Dec. T., 1954, No. 4635, in case of Commonwealth ex rel. Home for the Jewish Aged v. Julius Kotzker. Order affirmed.
Maurice Freedman, with him Herbert H. Hadra and Robert H. Arronson, for appellant.
Herbert A. Fogel, with him Leon J. Obermayer, and Edmonds, Obermayer & Rebmann, for appellee.
Before Rhodes, P.j., Hirt, Ross, Gunther, Wright, Woodside, and Ervin, JJ.
[ 179 Pa. Super. Page 523]
This is an appeal by a son from an order requiring him to contribute ten dollars a week toward the support of his parents who are living in and being cared for by the Home for the Jewish Aged in Philadelphia.
In 1948, the parents, Jacob and Mollie Kotzker, were admitted to the Home and have been there ever since, notwithstanding the fact that they have three adult children, two sons and a daughter. During this time, the Home has expended for the support of these two parents $10,600.00 more than it received from social security payments and a five hundred dollar cash payment made by the parents to the Home upon their admission in 1948. Currently, the cost of keeping them runs $260. a month, while the monthly social security payments amount to only $94.20, the difference being made up by the Home from charitable contributions received by it. The family has never contributed toward this expense. The Pennsylvania Department of Public Assistance has indicated that it will contribute toward their support, but only after the Home has established the obligation of the children, the exact amount which the State will give depending upon the contributions of the children. Consequently, the Home filed a petition in the court below to compel Julius Kotzker, defendant-appellant, to contribute toward the support of his parents under the provisions of the Act of June 24, 1937, P.L. 2045, Sec. 3, as amended by the Act of May 23, 1945, P.L. 864, Sec. 1 et seq., 62 P.S. Pocket Suppl., sec. 1973.*fn1
[ 179 Pa. Super. Page 524]
No answer was filed to the petition and a hearing was held below on the sole question of the amount of the support, the hearing being very brief (11 printed pages), after which the court entered an order of ten dollars a week. Defendant then appealed.
Before us the appellant raises not only the question of the reasonableness of the amount, but three other questions as well. He claims that his parents are not indigent, that the Home is alone contractually bound to support them, and that the Home is not a proper party to bring this support action.
Since no question was raised below concerning the alleged contract of support and the record is completely barren of any such evidence, we could not pass upon it were we so inclined. Accordingly that point is dismissed. Nor did the appellant make any objection to the Home as a moving party prior to this appeal, consequently, this too could be summarily dismissed. Grisbord v. Philadelphia, 148 Pa. Superior Ct. 91, 96, 24 A.2d 646.In passing through, we might say that this contention is without merit. The Act specifically provides: "(B) The courts shall have power to hear, determine and make orders and decrees in such cases upon the petition of such indigent person, or of any other person or any public body or public agency having any interest in the care, maintenance or assistance of such indigent person." (italics supplied) Certainly the Home has an interest in the care and maintenance of the elderly Kotzkers for it is the Home which is providing them with their required shelter, sustenance and care. The Act merely requires that the petitioner have "any" interest. Providing as it does the entire support of these people, the Home comes well within this requirement of interest. And while it is not an individual, it is a person within the contemplation of the Act; the legislature most certainly intending,
[ 179 Pa. Super. Page 525]
in view of the multitude of corporate charitable institutions of this nature, that such fictitious bodies have the same standing to petition in these matters as individuals. Statutory Construction Act of May 28, 1937, P.L. 1019, Art. IV, Sec. 52(1) and 52(5), 46 P.S. 552(1), (5).
On the question of the indigency of the parents, appellant complains that the court below made no specific findings as such and that the record would not support such a finding if made. The Act of course requires that the person to be supported be indigent. Reading the opinion of the court below, it becomes eminently clear that since this point was not raised by Julius at or prior to the hearing and order, the court relied upon this tacit admission and concerned itself only with the question of amount. Moreover, the record shows factually that the parents are indigent within the contemplation of the Act. "Indigent" is not defined in the Act, but it is specifically provided that such person need not be a public charge, indicating therefore that such "indigent" need not be "helpless and in extreme want; so completely destitute of property as to require assistance from the public" as contended by appellant. By "indigent" persons is meant those who have not sufficient means to pay for their care and maintenance themselves. State Hospital v. Lycoming County, 239 Pa. 402, 406, 86 A. 879. "Indigent" therefore includes but is not limited to those who are completely destitute and helpless. It encompasses also those persons who have some limited means, as the $94.20 social security payment here, but whose means are not sufficient to adequately provide for their maintenance and support. Admittedly, the social security payments are far from adequate in the circumstances here presented. The appellant cannot invoke the generosity of the Government and the charity of the community
[ 179 Pa. Super. Page 526]
to escape that which is one of his primary responsibilities under the Act.
His final contention is that the amount of the order is excessive. Undeniably, the need for the assistance in the support of these people exists. In his opening discussion of this issue, appellant states accurately that the amount is a matter of discretion with the lower court and that this court will not interfere unless an abuse of discretion is shown. He then states "appellant does not allege such an abuse of discretion, but does contend that the lower court in fixing the amount of the order, was clearly inconsistent". He therefore has answered his own assertion, for he does not show in what way this alleged inconsistency was an abuse of discretion. It appears from the record that the appellant has a net pay of $4619.94 a year, or $384.99 a month. He testified concerning numerous expenses which he incurs each month, the sum total of which completely exhausts each pay. He has only himself and his wife to support. The lower court concluded that he could safely maintain his station in life and still contribute ten dollars per week toward the support of his parents. We find nothing in the record to indicate otherwise. His purported expenditures for food, house repairs, toiletries and clothing particularly appear to be inflated beyond the recurring monthly needs of a man and wife living on the monthly earnings of this man. Accordingly, we find no abuse of discretion by the lower court in fixing the amount at ten dollars a week.
Order affirmed.

Just get darker colored briefs.
I tried boxers once and hated it. I like moving around and doing sports, and when wearing boxers, my stuff was slapping on my leg as I ran. It seemed so awkward. I hated it. I like to be able to do stuff with not always being conscious of my parts smacking myself. I can't understand how people wear boxers. I don't want to be thinking of that stuff all day.21|10|0
