New Life Church recently held auditions for their next pastor. That's right… "auditions." Would you expect more from the church in America today? Check out this news video clip to see for yourself. The pastor in my previous post said there was no blueprint in the Bible about how a church should be. According to New Life Church, I guess there's no blueprint in the Bible about selecting a shepherd of a church either.
Another very interesting morsel I found in the news clip was that after the former pastor fell from grace, (i.e. paying for sex with a homosexual prostitute and using methamphetamine), membership in the church dropped by 20% and contributions to the church dropped by 10%. Now I'm no math whiz, but something here doesn't add up.
And by the way, in case you were wondering, the church website has officially announced that they've selected the pastor in the news clip as their new pastor to head their 14,000 member church. Maybe next time they can select a pastor by putting all the candidates on an island and putting them through rigorous tests, then allowing them to vote each other off the island.
P.S. For those of you wondering where Ted Haggard, the previous pastor of this church is today, click here.

The government can't run medicare, the schools, themselves how would anybody in their right mind think they could run health care. we have proof, look at other countries that are doing it right now, huge wait times and people dieing before thier time because of waiting.
Thier has to be a better way, but having government run health care....UMMM
The only "brain washing" going on here is you and your fellow conservitives claiming something is in this bill that just isn't there. Most of you are so brain washed that there really is no point in continuing this discussion.

All Things Cheese
Type the code shown
Farming in a fairly populated area in southeastern Wisconsin, Tom and Joan Oberhaus, co-owners, managers, and operators of Cozy Nook Farm, explain to visitors the full life cycle of a cow and the value of dairy farms to communities and the state.
The Oberhaus family takes great pride in making use of today's technologies, even though they are only a single-family dairy operation. These technologies keep their cows happy and healthy and producing quality, high-solids milk with high protein content. This milk gives Wisconsin cheesemakers the best possible milk to create award-winning cheese.
Every day, the Oberhaus' work toward making the best use of their valuable land, water and air resources so the environment will be clean and productive for future generations of their family and cattle. "We love our cows; they are part of our family. Thus, we take great strides to keep them healthy and happy."
"Farming in the Burbs" provides the Oberhaus family with unique and gratifying opportunities to help spread the amazing story of agriculture today. In particular, they share their farm and cattle with several wonderful young people with non-farming backgrounds. These youth exhibit cattle at county, state and national shows, and community events. Through these experiences, they learn to respect hard work and the use of science to keep cows healthy and happy. Tom and Joan admire these bright and enthusiastic youth and are optimistic about future generations.
"When people visit our farm, they learn that Wisconsin is a naturally great place for cows. The weather is usually cool, which cows enjoy. And most years, we get plenty of natural water from the sky to grow enough nutritious feed to keep the cows happy and healthy."
"God put cows on earth to eat weird things that you and I cannot or do not want to eat. Cows have four stomachs, allowing them to turn odd feeds into wholesome milk. Nutritious dairy foods provide us with essential vitamins and minerals, and taste great, as well."
Visit Dairy and Tourism to learn more about the Oberhaus operation.
Special Announcement - September 13, 2012: Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection Secretary Ben Brancel announced that Cozy Nook Pronto Twylight, a Brown Swiss bred and owned by Tom and Joan Oberhaus, was recognized as "2012 Cow of the Year." This award clearly reflects Oberhaus' commitment to the breed as well as to the success of the Wisconsin dairy industry. Read the full press release about this recognition.

Procedure for Declaring or Changing Majors/Minors/Certificates/Foreign Area Studies
The initial declaration of major usually occurs in the Spring term of the Sophomore year or when the students have EARNED 40 credit hours. There is a designated period in which Sophomores declare en masse through the academic departments, without each student having to file an individual declaration form through the Office of the University Registrar. Details of this procedure are distributed to each academic department prior to the sign-up period. Students planning to major in the Schools of Business must complete an application. Please contact the Schools of Business for more information. There is no such formal declaration period for minors. However, a student must declare a major prior to declaring a minor. All minors are declared via form, as described below.
Procedure for Late Declarations and Changes
Forms may be obtained at the Office of the University Registrar or by clicking on the forms link at the left of this screen. No major or minor will be entered or changed without the required signature (s). Only one bachelor's degree will be conferred, even if the student completes a double major. The first (primary) major determines which degree is awarded. No form is necessary to switch the order of a double major. Please contact the Office of the University Registrar to have the order switched. A student may select only ONE of the following options:
- A single major
- A single major and a minor
- A single major and a double minor
- A single major and a triple minor
- A double major
- A double major and a minor
To graduate with option 4 or 6 a student must complete a minimum of 135 hours instead of the usual 120.
In addition to these options, a student may complete the requirements of a foreign area studies program and/or any of the Romance Languages certificates. A communication major may declare up to two Communication concentrations but must do so prior to the beginning of his/her final semester. Students must make any desired major or minor changes no later than one week prior to the designated advising period in order to guarantee registration during the major/minor advising sessions. Any changes made later will be processed as time allows.

Recessed lighting is one of the most popular lighting systems used in homes and businesses. These lighting fixtures are comprised of three main parts, namely, the bulb, decorative trim and the housing. The bulb is enclosed in a canister-like housing, which is then mounted in the ceiling. Sometimes referred to as the can light, a recessed light has a downward projection. It gives the illusion of light coming from a hole in the ceiling. This type of lighting system is both practical and functional. It provides enough illumination in the room without taking too much space. This is great for an area with a low ceiling. You may use recessed light fixtures in kitchens, family rooms, hallways, dens, and other areas.
Buying and Installation Recessed Lighting
You have to consider several factors when installing Recessed Lighting fixtures. One is the type of ceiling where you want the recessed lights to be installed. If installed on a sloped ceiling, they have to be designed or matched according to the angle of your ceiling. You also need to determine the function these light fixtures will perform. Are you going to use them as ambient light, task lighting or as a general source of light? Consider whether you have insulation installed to determine what type of housing should be used. If there is insulation, the lighting fixture should be installed at least three inches away from the insulation. If contact with the insulation is unavoidable, you may opt for UL rated housings.
You have various options when it comes to the housing of recessed lighting. Depending on how you plan to use recessed lighting, you can choose from a variety of sizes. There are sizes designed mainly for general lighting and small enough for accent and task lighting.
Trims should also be chosen carefully. This is the part which is exposed after installation. You can choose from trims that are both stylish and functional.
Recessed Lighting Options
You may use LED, fluorescent and incandescent bulbs for these types of light fixtures. The incandescent bulb is the most popular among these choices as they are more affordable. However, they also consume more energy and have a shorter life span compared to the other types. LEDs are the most expensive upfront but they are more energy efficient and help you save money on your energy bills. They also last longer than other types of bulbs.
You also have several options for recessed lighting trims. There are open trims that provide a finished look and directional types that offer versatility to your lighting fixtures.
Are you looking for recessed lighting? Once you have a clear idea on what you need, you can then choose among the wide selection of lighting fixtures available at Capitol Lighting. Choose trim and recessed housing made by top brands like Swarovski, WAC Lighting, Eurofase Lighting, Sea Gull Lighting and more. Visit Capitol Lighting's 1800lighting.com to find the lighting fixture that suits your style and needs. You may also ask questions from our competent staff to learn more about different lighting systems like bedroom lighting, landscape lighting, wall lighting and more.
Recessed Lighting can be used in combination with other light fixtures to add needed light to a room when one central fixture or ceiling fan will not suffice. Selection and installation is simple - all you need is a recessed housing and a trim! Capitol Lighting offers a wide selection of recessed lighting fixtures from all the top name brands like WAC Lighting for all applications. Damp rated recessed lighting trims for showers and bathrooms as well as New Construction and Remodel housings for both Line and Low Voltage systems. Once you've settled on your housing, you'll also need recessed lighting trim, which is the visible ceiling counterpart to the recessed lighting, invisible housing. Recessed trims come in a variety of sizes and styles and tend to match specific housings. The simplest way to shop recessed lighting is to find your recessed lighting trim, and then add the corresponding housing.
Don't Forget the Recessed Lighting
When lighting a bedroom, most people feel that a single lighting fixture or ceiling fan will suffice. Not so! View our video to see why recessed lights are a great addition to any bedroom.
Effectively and Unobtrusively Light Your Room
Recessed lighting is the simplest and most effective way to light your room unobtrusively. Read our article to see how recessed lighting is perfect for lighting small rooms.

Max Ophuls's 1953 off-kilter, money-conscious classic is perfect right up until the last act. His central couple — bored, petty Parisian aristocrats played by Danielle Darrieux and Charles Boyer — are at their most unique when fretting over baubles and lying through their teeth. Ironically, once they start to experience real emotion, they seem ubiquitous and silly. Ophuls creates a beautifully cold bubble. Leave 20 minutes before the end to avoid hearing it go pop.

Date of Stay: September, 2008
As stated in other reviews this is a bare bones campground. It is run by an older German couple. She was nice, but he seems to think he is in the Wermacht. He marches around snapping out questions & orders.
Date of Stay: September, 2008
We have camped here since 1999. This is the first time with the new owners They were very nice & helpful. We love this campground! We camped for 5 days..
Date of Stay: August, 2005
Very nice campground. When we checked in the staff was friendly & helpful. On the second night we checked with the office about a late checkout the next day. The lady in the office said that was ok but there might be an additional $2.00 charge. No problem. Checkout time was 11:00am. At 11:30am another woman came by our site & said we had to leave by noon. She charged us $2.00 in cash for each rig. (We had two.) She was quite rude. In talking to another camper I found that the charge was $2.00 per hour! We will never stay there again!

Last week I ranted a little about how diverse comics are these days and how frustrating it is that the media still sees a need to keep bringing that up. As sort of a counterpoint to that, here's a recent Wizard interview with cartoonist Kyle Baker about how comics actually aren't enough for kids these days.
"I've been in this business since 1983. And when I started, comic books were distributed at candy stores and 7-11s. And you were always told that your audience was children and there were rules that the pictures should tell the story because your audience probably can't read that well and things like that... At some point, Marvel and DC comic books stopped being for children to the point where I can't give Wonder Woman to my daughters because there's too much T&A. I just personally don't know how to do that stuff. When I did Plastic Man, I said, 'I'm gonna do a kids book.' I'm from the days when DC comic books were for children. So I pretty much expected it to not sell. That's why I'm working for companies like Disney and Nickelodeon and Scholastic..."
Baker's talking about the actual state of the comic industry in this country and he's dead on. That's what makes it especially aggravating that the general public still sees comics as a kids' medium. Not only do comics include stories for adults these days, they pretty much exclude stories for kids. And that's not only sad; it's stupid.
"I think it's wonderful that there's more variety in books and there are things like Dark Knight. I'm a big fan of Alan Moore and all that stuff, but you really do need to have some stuff for kids. And just from an economic standpoint, at the end of the day, kids spend more money on cartoon products. Spongebob makes so much more money than Superman does. They're really missing the boat. That's my opinion.
"...Only in DC Comics when you say, 'Hey, I've got a great idea for a kids cartoon,' do they look at you like you're crazy... But these are also the people who can't sell Scooby Doo comics. If you can't sell Scooby Doo, you should really quit the business."
This is all interesting to me not only because I love the comics industry and want to see it as healthy as it can be, but also because I'm thinking more and more about my own stuff and whom it's appropriate for.
Right now, for example, we're thinking over some of the language in Robots vs. Monsters and whether or not to tone it down for kids. On the one hand, you want to be true to your story. Chances are, if someone comes face to face with a giant freakin' monster that's crushing fighter planes left and right, that person's response isn't going to be, "Holy Mackerel!" It's going to be a bit stronger than that. On the other hand, maybe it's worth replacing the stronger word with something like "$#!%" so that we enlarge our potential audience. I mean, kids would like a comic about giant robots and giant monsters beating the snot out of each other, wouldn't they?

The Los Angeles Jail to Community Reentry Project seeks to inform improvements to reentry services for people returning to the community. This project expands upon the Substance Use and Mental Health Program's work on jail reentry in New York City using empirical data to assess the existing range of reentry interventions, with a particular focus on meeting the needs of L.A.'s racially and ethnically diverse jail population.
Vera's Substance Use and Mental Health program is working in partnership with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LACSD) and community partners in Boyle Heights and South L.A., two neighborhoods that are disproportionately affected by incarceration. This study uses a mixed-methods approach, including administrative data analysis, interviews with people in the L.A. County Jail, and interviews with jail staff, service providers, and community leaders. Drawing from those findings, the study, supported by the California Endowment, aims to:
- Describe the reentry needs of incarcerated people, their views of existing services, including perceptions of the cultural fit of those services, and the extent to which the jail reentry planning process accurately identifies and meets their needs;
- Describe stakeholders' (jail staff, community-based service providers, and community leaders) views of reentry services and practical barriers to providing support; and
- make recommendations for enhancements to existing reentry-services models that target the needs of the diverse jail population.
The report and recommendations will serve as the starting point for the project's planned second phase: working with the LACSD to implement our recommendations and test their effectiveness.
Why focus on jail reentry and culture-conscious services?
The stresses of reentry disproportionately affect people of color, who are both overrepresented in correctional environments throughout the country and less likely to receive vital reentry services. Despite high rates of jail admittances among African Americans and Latinos, there is considerable evidence that they receive in-custody behavioral health and treatment services at a lower rate than whites. Furthermore, research has found that African Americans and Latinos perceive there to be an insufficient level of cultural competency throughout the criminal justice system. While the racially and ethnically diverse population returning to communities from jail requires reentry services that identify and serve its needs, empirically tested models for building culturally competent correctional services are scarce. This project aims to begin to fill this knowledge gap while providing practical recommendations to our government partners about jail reentry.

Travel insurance benefits are listed as either primary or secondary.
Primary coverage
- When a plan benefit is primary, the provider will pay you first in the event of a claim.
Secondary coverage
- When a plan benefit is secondary, the provider will pay you after any other collectable benefits.
- If your plan benefit is secondary and benefits from primary sources have been exhausted, the secondary benefit on your plan will act as a primary benefit.

Your question makes my really consider my personal values, sir. Six months ago I would have agreed with more regulation and redtape. Now, with no specific "incident" to "blame", I agree with QKShooter. I've seen too many slippery slopes in my life, and just don't think this is an argument we want to allow to begin.
Everyone appears to be thinking about their values - good question.Quote:

With several decades of engineering practice, ECIDI has accumulated rich experiences in design of hydraulic machinery for water conservancy and hydropower projects, and especially, has made plentiful accomplishments in new technical application and scientific and technological innovation. The 2x500t vertical shiplift of Shuikou HPP (which is the largest one among similar shiplifts in China, applying several advanced equipment such as safety lock and end-to-end joint device, and creates a new record in China); the 2×1300kN double-cylinder hydraulic hoist of Shaxikou HPP (which is the first double-cylinder back-pulling hydraulic hoist for radial gate in China); booster-type hydraulic hoist for Shuikou spillway (which is a patented creative approach for large-sized gate operation, especially for radial gates on high and open spillway); the radial gate mounted with hinged flash gate in Gaosha and Banzhu HPPs (which solves the problem of trash discharging for power stations, and was praised by users and awarded Third Prize for national Scientific and Technical Advancement issued by Water Resources and Hydropower Planning and Design General Institute). ECIDI also conducted technical research on trash-drifting for hydropower stations (entrusted by the former State Power Corporation), accumulated plenty of experiences in trash discharging and trash drifting of run-of-river type power stations, designed large-sized movable flap gates by introduction of foreign technologies (which is used in Anhui Meitan HPP and Fujian Dongguan HPP), developed the internal-mounted opening-measuring apparatus, travel and opening detecting devices and anti-deflection device for radial-gates, and designed the water gate with single span over a hundred meters at Suzhou River estuary in Shanghai and metal structure surface treatment for the Three-Gorges Project. These directly reflect the powerful design strength of ECIDI.
In the field of hydraulic machinery and steel structure design, ECIDI has got 6 utility-type patents in China, and 9 design and scientific research items awarded prizes for national scientific and technical advancement issued by province, ministry or professional trade.

Many of the world's best women's 470 sailing crews are likely to be chasing a muppet when they contest the London Olympics.
Kermit and Miss Piggy stand down. "Muppet'' is the name Jo Aleh and Olivia Powrie have given to the boat they will race off the Weymouth coast.
"We didn't want things to get too intense,'' Powrie, known as Polly, says. "It was a way of keeping our campaign light.''
"The name reflects our nature for making stuff-ups, so we embraced it,'' Aleh chuckles.
Don't be deceived by Muppet or the Team Jolly Racing (Jo + Polly) brand. The duo have shown a clinical streak to win or place at numerous major regattas since forming full-time in 2009.
They shape as one of New Zealand's strongest contenders to eradicate a 20-year Olympic keelboat medal drought. Leslie Egnot and Jan Shearer are New Zealand's only previous 470 Olympic medallists taking silver at Barcelona.
Aleh and Powrie have won the last two Sail for Gold regattas at the Olympic venue. They finished third behind Spain and Britain at the world championships (for all classes) in Perth last December and fourth at the specific 470 class world championships off Barcelona in May behind the Brits, Dutch and French. That result came despite Aleh faceplanting off her bike in the middle of the regatta; a day before her 26th birthday. The result saw her take the course doing a passing imitation for an Egyptian mummy.
The pair are involved in practice regattas to get more experience on the Olympic courses.
Aleh and Powrie (24) have years of pedigree. They won the world 420 world championships when matched for the first time in 2007. Aleh went on to finish seventh in the single-handed Laser Radial at the Beijing Olympics.
As a nine-year-old she was converted to sailing after being inspired by New Zealand's 1995 America's Cup win while Powrie comes from a strong sailing family.
Aleh controls the tiller to steer the course while Powrie has a more physical role controlling the sails. It often sees her extend horizontally from the boat to maximise their wind.
"We do a lot of cardio fitness for endurance because generally their are two races a day and the Olympic campaign lasts nine days [August 2-10],'' Powrie says. "There's also an emphasis on strength because you've got to stay agile jumping around. I injured my back earlier this year and I had to work hard to get it sorted. You need strong core muscles to protect your back given the random loads it can be forced to withstand.''
Fitness preparation helps gain medals but it is worthless without technological investment. High Performance Sport New Zealand has invested $11.3 million in yachting over this Olympic cycle.
Aleh and Powrie also earn performance enhance grants by virtue of their world championship medal in December. The duo have used three boats in this campaign - one in New Zealand, one offshore and Muppet has been built specifically for the Olympics. Hulls cost around $18,000; add sail and rigging costs.
"Initially we thought we could get away with one boat,'' Aleh says. "But it quickly became clear we couldn't risk going without backup.''
Powrie says they get looked after.
"The best thing is using Mackay boat builders on the North Shore. We were able to go to the factory and put specific technical touches into the design.''
The duo have sought sponsorship through SportConnect and there have been examples of Kiwi ingenuity, like their travel plans to the May world championships. Aleh tweeted that they flew "Kiwi-style business class''. Rather than turning left on entry to the plane, they sniffed out a couple of empty rows of seats.
Another key to their campaign has been the measured approach of coach and former Olympian Nathan Handley. He manages much of the logistics like storage, travel and weather briefings.
"He's the third member of the team,'' Aleh says. "He's held us together since we started and keeps us ticking over in the toughest situations.''
The Team Jolly website indicates Handley's wet-weather gear was also useful during five hours of rain unloading seven boats and gear on their March arrival in Europe.

Dollar Declines as Fed Maintains Pace of Bond Buying Program
The dollar declined for the first time in three days after the Federal Reserve maintained its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases and said that persistently low inflation could hamper the U.S. economic expansion.
The greenback had gained earlier versus the euro and yen as reports showed companies boosted payrolls in July by the most this year and the U.S. economy grew more than projected in the second quarter. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said this month a reduction in the central bank's bond-buying program would depend on the economy's performance. The Australian dollar fell to its weakest level in almost three years on speculation the country's central bank will cut interest rates.
"They came across as more cognizant that inflation could be lower than anticipated, which would be a risk to the economy," Brian Kim, a currency strategist at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc's RBS Securities unit in Stamford, Connecticut, said in a telephone interview. "While it is dovish, I don't think it necessarily changes expectations for tapering."
The Bloomberg U.S. Dollar Index fell 0.1 percent to 1,025.74 at 5 p.m. in New York. It decreased 1.4 percent in July. The U.S. currency dropped 0.3 percent at $1.3302 per euro. The greenback weakened 0.2 percent to 97.88 per yen after touching 98.59.
The euro gained 2.2 percent to the greenback in July, while the yen has appreciated 1.3 percent. New Zealand's dollar has led all major gainers with a 3.2 percent increase and the Norwegian krone has climbed 3 percent, the second-most. Brazil's real was the biggest loser, with a 2 percent decline.
Krone, Aussie
Norway's krone rose versus all but one of its most-traded peers as the country's unemployment rate unexpectedly dropped in May, damping speculation the central bank will cut interest rates in September. The currency appreciated 0.8 percent to 5.8924 per dollar after reaching 5.8776. It increased 0.5 percent to 7.8381 per euro.
South Africa's rand declined versus most of its 16 most-traded peers even as the country's trade gap narrowed for a second month in June. The deficit fell to 7.7 billion rand ($775 million) from 11 billion rand in May, the Pretoria-based South African Revenue Service said in an e-mailed statement today.
The currency weakened 0.8 percent to 9.8768 per dollar. The rand was little changed versus the dollar in July.
Tapering Prospects
"The committee recognizes that inflation persistently below its 2 percent objective could pose risks to economic performance, but it anticipates that inflation will move back toward its objective over the medium term," the Federal Open Market Committee said today at the conclusion of a two-day meeting in Washington.
The Fed will probably wait until September to reduce the monthly purchases by $20 billion to a total of $65 billion, according to half of the 54 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News from July 18-22.
"The tone of the FOMC statement was on the dovish side," Dean Maki, the New York-based chief U.S. economist for Barclays Plc and a former Fed economist, wrote today in a client note. "We view the substantive changes as mainly aimed at separating the decision to taper the pace of asset purchases from that of implementing the first rate hike, rather than signaling that tapering has become less likely."
U.S. Data
U.S. gross domestic product, the value of all goods and services produced, rose at a 1.7 percent annualized rate, after a 1.1 percent gain the prior quarter, Commerce Department figures showed. The median forecast of 85 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a 1 percent advance.
Companies in the U.S. boosted payrolls in July by the most this year as employers grew more optimistic demand will pick up in the second half of the year. The 200,000 increase in employment was more than projected and followed a revised 198,000 gain in June that was higher than initially estimated, according to data today from the ADP Research Institute in Roseland, New Jersey. The median forecast of 40 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a July advance of 180,000.
"The better-than-expected nature of the data is considered taper-positive," Joe Manimbo, a market analyst at Western Union Business Solutions, a unit of Western Union Co., said by phone from Washington, before the FOMC statement.
Bond Buying
The central bank said its bond purchases will remain divided between $45 billion a month of Treasury securities and $40 billion a month of mortgage-backed securities. The Fed also will continue reinvesting securities as they mature.
The Fed repeated the pledge it has used since September that it will continue the purchases until the U.S. labor market outlook has improved substantially.
The dollar had strengthened 4.6 percent this year, the second-most behind the euro's 5.6 percent increase, according to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes that track 10 developed-nation currencies. The Australian dollar led all decliners with an 11 percent drop, while the yen fell 8.5 percent, the second-most.
The Australian dollar declined to its weakest level in almost three years as speculation the Reserve Bank of Australia will cut borrowing costs next week curbed demand for the currency. Governor Glenn Stevens said yesterday the inflation outlook provided room for additional policy easing.
Stevens's comments "really left the door open for more easing, and those dovish signs give us more confidence in our view that the RBA will cut rates once again," said Janu Chan, an economist at St. George Bank Ltd. in Sydney. "The Aussie will weaken from here," said Chan, who sees the currency at 89 cents by year-end.
The Aussie declined 0.9 percent to 89.82 U.S. cents after dropping to 89.36 cents, the weakest level since September 2010.

After posting the Audi produced teaser/promo clip of the R8 Cabriolet below, I found this equally impressive video on Audizine done by a fellow enthusiast named Anthony Esposito – this is some real Audi passion! Apparently the author is an unemployed film student, so ad agencies take note, this guy has skills!
Please go rate it, watch it, and share it on Youtube – this guy deserves some exposure. According to his post, he used "Sony 3ccd True 1080p cameras and sticky pod mounting/tracking hardware, black SUV camera cars, and for editing, the professional version of Sony Vegas." Sounds fancy, haha.

It is GREAT news to read this. Increases in food production is always a very welcome bit of good news.
Sitting at the dinner table over at a nice place we go this evening, it was WONDERFUL to enjoy FINE quality food and drink. We do not realize how good we do have it here in the country.
It is sometimes scary to think about how it could come to pass with things in the future with the way things are going. Especially for us city folks who do not know how and don't have the resources to grow our food.
This is one reason it sounds like I think the sky is falling. I am not a fatalist. But, do know what happened in Haiti could come about here with us upon a disaster be it weather and or, an attack.

What language is spoken in Taiwan? What is the temperature there in Taiwan?
Friendly Taiwan!
Loading Map
I'm now in Taipei, the capital of Taiwan! I've been here for three days and have lots of fun things planned. We've already explored this city, and seen the second tallest building in the world (the 101 Tower, which I'll post a picture of later), and lots of markets and temples, and eaten lots of yummy food.
Tomorrow we're going to another small town called Hualien by train. There's a big gorge near Hualien called the Taroko Gorge, where we're going to do some hiking. We're also going whale-watching there! Soon I'll have lots of cool pictures for you!
Talk to you soon!
Friday October 14th
Hello again to my Limehouse friends!
I really, really love Taiwan! It's one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to, with the friendliest people! If you ever get lost, and take a map out of your pocket to look at, lots of people will all stop and offer to help you find where you're going to. Lovely. We should do this more in Canada I think!
The weather has been wonderful in Taiwan. It's quite hot - about 27 degrees celsius, but usually cloudy, so it's comfortable to walk around in. It's humid like Ontario in the summer! Yesterday we went white-water rafting on the Xiuguluan River (I think you pronounce it 'chee-oo-goo-loo-an'!) and the skies were beautifully blue, the sun was shining...it was a wonderful day to get soaked! I'll put up some pictures of the rafting for you too, it was awesome!
Two days ago we went to the Taroko Gorge, which is a really beautiful place. We hired a man named Mr Lee to drive us there and stay with us all day, as it was about an hour from our hostel. The first thing we did was hike about two hours along a beautiful blue river, which runs along the bottom of the gorge. While we were walking we saw 50 or more macaque monkeys climbing the cliffs! We were all really surprised because we didn't know that there were wild monkeys in Taiwan! I tried to get good pictures of them but they were a little too small for my camera to capture them properly.
At the end of the day hiking we went into a hot spring, which is like a natural hot tub on the mountain, except the water is heated far underground by the earth
We're in Hualien now, and are going to another city tonight called 'Taitung', which is about three hours south of here. We're taking a train to get there, and our ticket cost 266 New Taiwan Dollars, which is just over 8 Canadian Dollars. I'll write more from there so you can learn more about Taiwan!
Ooh one more quick thing. I think it was Lily that asked what language they speak here...it's Mandarin Chinese! Just like in China. Which is good because in China we had learned how to say things like hello (nee-how) and thank you (sheh-sheh) so we didn't have to learn anything new for Taiwan!
I hope you like the new pictures, I'll put up more for you soon!
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Hi Lilly! You may have seen that I answered your questions in my latest post but just in case you didn't, the language spoken in Taiwan is Mandarin Chinese! Very useful for us because we had already learned how to say hello and thank you in Chinese!
The temperature is about 27 degrees celsius, and it's very humid, like in Ontario in the summer. I like it!
Thank you for your questions!
Hi Becca. I am in your mom's class this year. My dad and Aunt were both in Taipei. My aunt was a missionary when she was there and my dad went on business. They both had an earth quake when they were there. Have you had any yet?
Ni Hao Becca! I love your travel stories! Thank you for the blog and pictures. I like them a lot. Happy travel!!!
How is the food? Did you like your train ride? We travelled on a train that went up and around a mountain when we were in the Kuranda Rainforest in Australia. You should try and go on that train tour if you go to Australia.
If you go there you could visit my Aunt.
My brother says your going to Hong Kong is that true? If so what area are going to? I'm in grade 5 but last year we had pen pals in Hong Kong is there any chance you may see them?
Enjoy your travels,
Hi Kira,
Do you have a world map or a globe you can look at? Taiwan is just off the south east coast of China. Can you find it? There's also a map on this blog that you can look at.
Let me know if you find it!
I haven't had any earthquakes but I hear they have a lot here! I'm hoping we don't have any, it would be really scary! Keep your fingers crossed for me!
The food is wonderful Jonathon. It's very similar to Chinese food, lots of rice and noodles, and veggies and meat. Yum! Our favourite snack here is an ice cream wrap with peanut brittle. I'll take a picture for you guys!
I liked taking the train very much. It's nice to see the countryside going by! I don't think we're going to australia on this trip, but if I do I'll try to visit your aunt!
Hi Christoper, I am going to Hong Kong - tomorrow! I don't know what area I'll be staying in yet, maybe you can recommend an area for me? Which area do your pen pals live in?
Hi it's Christopher again. The school that our pen pals are at is German Swiss International school it is near Aberdeen Country Parck in a location called the Peak.
Happy travels,

Linfield keep eyes on the title prize
Linfield captain Michael Gault is adamant that the Blues will not allow off-field events to take their focus away from winning a third successive Carling Premiership title, after the Windsor Park club's name hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Incidents outside the Brandywell after Linfield were knocked out of the Setanta Sports Cup by Derry City on Tuesday night have thrown the Blues' further participation in the cross-border competition into doubt — seven years after they won the inaugural tournament.
And Gault will accept the decision of the club's board if they decide against future participation in the tournament.
"I can see why there might be some people starting to talk about us pulling out of the Setanta Cup," said Gault.
"Our fans make a big effort to go to the games and support us — the matches are always all-ticket, they have to get bused in and out everywhere they go and there are obstacles put in their way.
"My dad used to go away all the time, but he doesn't go as often any more and a lot of the things that are put in place are unfair on Linfield supporters," he said.
"As far as playing in the Setanta Cup is concerned it's a step up for us, but it's a good competition and one I've enjoyed playing in because you get the opportunity to play a bit more football.
"If the club decides to pull out then I would understand. It's not down to me or any of the other players — I don't know whether we'd be consulted.
"If the club says we're going to stick with it, we'd he happy to play on, but I could understand if things go the other way because it has been difficult for our supporters."
And now manager David Jeffrey and his players are facing a Saturday off next weekend as the Irish Cup wrangle over Ballymena United midfielder Alan Davidson's eligibility rolls on.
With the Irish FA attempting to set up an independent arbitration panel to decide whether or not he should have played in the quarter-final victory over Newry City, the Blues have been forced to wait on the outcome of that before they find out who they will face in the last four — let alone when.
"We have to look at the bigger picture and not allow things that go on outside of the club to be a distraction to us," said Gault, ahead of tomorrow's trip to Lisburn Distillery.
"We've had distractions before and we've stayed focused.
"Over the last couple of seasons we've had a lot of matches postponed because of snow and that leads to a backlog of fixtures, but all we could do was get on with it.
"It's not ideal when you've a Saturday off at this stage of the season, especially when you think you're looking ahead to a semi-final and then your plans are disrupted through no fault of your own. It is a distraction for players, but we can't think about that. We just have to play our matches when we're told to.
"There was talk of maybe rearranging a league match, but I don't know if that's a possibility.
"The manager might call us into a meeting and advise us how to keep focused, but we know that we have a job to do in trying to win the league again and that's what we have to think about."
Linfield boast a 12-point lead at the top of the table, thanks to Portadown and Cliftonville dropping points along the way, with the Blues beating everyone bar the Shamrock Park men since Boxing Day. Seven more points from their final six games will see the Gibson Cup at Windsor Park for the 51st time. Linfield aren't in the habit of blowing league titles and only a fool would bet against them now.
Having led since the start of the season they will deservedly sit on top of the pile when the inevitable is confirmed, sometime next month.
"We're in a good position because of the form that we've been in since the start of the season," said Gault.
"We still need to pick up points in our remaining games in order to get over the line and the teams that we come up against will be doing their utmost to stop us so we have to stay strong."

WASHINGTON—Well, after a rather hectic weekend, I got back to Hyde Park Monday morning to fill an early engagement there—though I must admit I was 40 minutes late.
I feel very guilty today that I did not keep my secretary more carefully informed on Sunday as to my movements, since apparently the newspapers and the radio frightened everyone near to death by making them think I was lost. And all the time I was very easy to locate, since I was sitting in a very comfortable, warm Greyhound bus waiting for a line of trucks nearly 12 miles long to move.
I had left New York on a TWA flight for Pittsburgh, Pa., at 8:15 Sunday morning. We had to leave from the hangar on account of the weather. Then we had a little rough weather in the air, so that breakfast was delayed until around 9 or 9:30 o'clock. But none of us had any idea that there was any question about landing in Pittsburgh until the captain told us we were "holding" over the city until the runway was cleared.
Finally, we were told we had to land in Columbus, Ohio, because the Pittsburgh airport said that no sooner were the runways cleared than the snow was blown right back on them again.
I was slightly disturbed because my luncheon date in Pittsburgh was at noon and I had no idea if there was any way to get from Columbus to Pittsburgh even in time to speak after lunch.
In the Columbus terminal I had a call from Pittsburgh that informed me that the lunch had been called off. I then asked if it would not be better to take a plane right back to New York, since the roads were bad and I might not get to Pittsburgh in time for dinner.
The airline was sending a bus to take the passengers from the delayed trips, so when I told the Pittsburgh people this they urged me to come on the bus, since they felt sure the roads would be clear and there would be no difficulty. Feeling an obligation to meet my dinner engagement at least, I started off a little after one o'clock.
The bus was practically filled, and I really admired the spirit of those passengers. Everyone had had his plans upset, but there was laughter and joking with the bus driver and a kind of good-humored friendliness that I rarely feel in any other country in the world.
We went on quite rapidly for about two hours and a half and then our troubles began. In West Virginia the road is only a two-lane highway. It was not very well cleared, and as far as policing goes I saw no state police until they came to look for me sometime around 9:30 or 10 o'clock in the evening.
What happened was that the trucks, not having chains, got stuck on the grades and traffic piled up behind them in both directions until there was a line 10 to 12 miles long outside the little town of Washington, which is across the West Virginia border in Pennsylvania.
I have the Governor of Pennsylvania, Mr. David Lawrence, to thank for the fact that the state police finally came to inquire if I would not be willing to walk a mile to where we could get on an alternate road and perhaps get around the jam. The young bus driver held me firmly by the arm and insisted on walking all the way with me. His friendliness and cheerfulness all the way I shall always remember.
We had had no dinner, though some of us had been able to get off and get some sandwiches and coffee at a little wayside stand. One young man got a bun with some ham and brought it to me. And Mr. William Cohen, who had joined me in New York City as he was going to the same meetings, was as solicitous as he could be. People are always kind and look after me with care.
I felt sorry to leave my fellow passengers behind to go with the state police, but I thought of the 11 o'clock train that I must catch if I were going to make my Monday morning appointment in Hyde Park, so with many apologies I started off. Once in the police car, we took a back road and made quick time, but it was evident that I would not make my 11 o'clock train. I did, however, make an 11:36.
Governor Lawrence, who was attending the dinner at which I was supposed to speak, was kind enough to come to the station and himself arrange to get me a train reservation for the night.
So, I filled my Monday morning engagement and enjoyed the rest of the day in Hyde Park. On Tuesday I spoke before the Hyde Park Rotary Club at noon, and then to Hartsdale to speak for the American Association for the United Nations at 8:15 p.m.

Bye Bye, Bears. Hello, BikesGeoffrey Smith
John N. Sortino blew it at Vermont Teddy Bear Co. Now, he's trying to prove himself with startup No.2: Chicago Bicycle Co. "I wanted to start a company and do it right this time," he says.
Once again, Sortino is trying to carve out a niche in a well-established market. In 1994, while still running Vermont Teddy Bear, he opened a factory in downtown Chicago to make old-fashioned-style "cruisers"--bikes with springy seats, upright handlebars, and a cushy ride. His idea: to sell them to aging baby boomers the same way he sold teddy bears--through the mail. "I know I can sell as many bikes as I want," Sortino boasts.
But Chicago Bicycle, with headquarters in Burlington, Vt., is still trying to get its sales in gear. Last September, during a month of test-marketing through radio ads in New York City, it received 6,000 phone calls but few orders for the bikes, which start at $750. Sales for the year reached $300,000. Tom Stendahl, president of Schwinn Cycling & Fitness Inc., the country's largest cruiser maker, questions the idea. "In this business, you need personal service," he says. "I doubt many people are going to want to buy bikes through the mail." Sortino tries to solve that problem with a network of bicycle-savvy college students who deliver and adjust bikes for mail-order customers. Concedes Sortino: "The weakest part of Chicago Bicycle is direct mail."
Another problem is stiff competition--and Chicago Bicycle's steep prices. Cruisers have been hot sellers for the past two years, and powerhouses Schwinn, Huffy, Trek, and Giant all have large retail networks selling their versions for $150 to $350. Florida grocery stores now sell foreign-made models for under $100.
SCIENCE PROJECT. Still, Sortino is convinced he has another hit. "I've scientifically worked on every piece of this business," he says. He plans another radio blitz in the spring and hopes to set up a factory and dealer network in Europe later this year. Sortino says sales will run between $2 million and $3 million this year.
Sortino, who is talking to backers and hopes to take the company public in three years, is putting his own money at risk this time around: He has more than $1 million sunk in Chicago Bicycle so far. Maybe that's why he isn't taking any more chances on his management expertise. He has already hired two former executives from bikemaker Cannondale Corp. in Georgetown, Conn., as chief financial officer and head of European operations, and he plans to hire a CEO this summer.

Welcome to Gina's Land of Seashells
Designed by Gina Thomas
Thanks for visiting the land of beautiful seashells. My name is Gina Thomas. I am a junior at
Valdosta State University.
I am currently working on recieving my Bachelor's degree in
Early Childhood and Reading Education
as well as a Master's in
Special Education.
I work in Douglas, Georgia at First National Bank during the day and attend classes at night. I am very excited about becoming a teacher so that I may touch the lives of so many others. I think that teaching is a job that will reward you daily as you see the impact that you can have on a child's life. This is most important to me....to make a lasting impression.
I have many different hobbies that I like to do in my free time. My favorite hobby is going to the
in the summer. It seems to be so relaxing and calm. I have just come back from the beach last weekend where I spent several days just being lazy. During the time I had at the beach, I found several beautiful
along the shore. At other times when I cannot go to the beach, I like to read books and spend time with my family and friends. I am really a "family oriented" person so this is where I spend most of my leisure time and I love it.

You are herecontent / Forgotten Iraq, The War in Maysan Province
Forgotten Iraq, The War in Maysan Province
From Tomdispatch today, Michael Schwartz on "Forgotten Iraq, The War in Maysan Province" LINK
Given the restricted nature of Western reporting in journalist-unfriendly Iraq (which I review in my introduction to Schwartz's piece), it's not surprisingly that whole areas of Iraq remain beyond our view much, if not all, of the time. Michael Schwartz picks one forgotten province where war and resistance, first to Saddam Hussein and then to foreign occupation, have been a constant, and reporting, in our press at least, an irregular, small miracle. In this piece of investigative analysis from afar, he offers a suggestion about the shape of what we don't normally see of Iraq. This is the sort of thing not often written about in our world.

With his children asleep in bed, Hans Reiser stole away from his home two nights in a row to dig his wife's grave, while her body sat in a duffel bag in his car.
That's one of the details to emerge in this grisly 34-page transcript (.pdf) of Reiser's belated August 21 confession to prosecutor Paul Hora. An excerpt is below. One note: it becomes unpleasant after the jump.
HORA: First of all, did you use shovels to dig the hole or picks or?
A: I used a shovel.
Q: Ok. It didn't look like the kind of hole you could dig with your bare hands? I mean if you, part of it yes, but so you did use a shovel. Where is the shovel?
A: Uhm, I don't think I can find the spot. I threw it away.
Q: Can you describe for me sort of where? Best you can, where the shovel is.
A: I think, I think I threw the backpack in, you know, I threw it all in various garbage things. One of the garbage places I remember was actually the park near where you guys found the CRX.
Q: Ok. The uh, when you left Nina's van on Fernwood, uhm, did you …
A: But I was like, you know, I would try to put not so much that anybody would pay attention to and anyone would recover (unintelligable).
Q: What, if anything, did you ever do to Nina's purse or any items inside of her purse? You might, that might include …
A: Not a thing. I was going to come back.
Q: All right.
A: You guys picked up the minivan one day too early.
Q: Ok. What about her cellphone?
A: Yeah. I removed the cover on it and pulled out the battery.
Q: Ok. Did you do that while the purse was still at your house or did you not think of that until you dropped it off on Fernwood? Do you remember when you did that? That's what I was getting at, did you take the battery out and you said you did.
A: Uhm, I removed the battery while the minivan was in the driveway but exactly at what time of night, I can't tell you.
Q: But you left the van in your driveway all night?
A: Yeah.
Q: Uhm, and instead because you lost the keys to the van …
A: I was worried that I wouldn't find the keys and I would have to have it towed.
A: Uhm-hmm. That would have made life easier for us Because if you would have had tow records that might have made it quicker. But uh, the …
A: It could have been a faster trial.
Q: Yeah, well, hindsight is 20/20, as they say. Uhm, let me ask you more, a little bit more specifically. You said you, basically you said you killed Nina in what I would call the living room of Exeter. I mean it, I know there is a hallway there.
A: No. I killed her on the stairs. ,,,,,
Q: You killed her on the stairs themselves?
A: Yeah.
Q: The stairs that go from the 2nd Floor where the living room is, the main and …
A: Uh-huh.
Q: . . . the kitchen floor and then there's a set of stairs that goes to the bedroom?
A: Yeah.
Q: The garage level?
A: Yeah.
Q: She was on those stairs when you killed her?
A: Yes.
Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.
Q: Last time you had told, can you just tell me, you don't have to go into great detail, I mean it's just, what method did you use to kill her? Did you strike her?
A: I stopped the blood flowing to her uh, to her head.
Q: Ok. Did you do that on both sides of her neck? ?
A: Yeah.
Q: So, essentially you used the carotid? Is that, is that what it's called, the carotid?
A: What I did was …
Q: The reason I'm asking is one way to stop the blood flow to someone's head would be to cut their head off. Would you agree that would stop the blood to your head and so …
A: Ok. I may be more precise just so you can eliminate possible interpretations of my words, uhm, I placed my hands on both sides of her neck.
Q: Uhm-hmm.
A: And in the most unsophisticated chokehold that any judo instructor would completely despise you for ever using, I choked her.
Q: Ok.
A: And this is the kind of choke that people who have no martial skills at all would employ and uhm, and yet it uh, uh, was completely painless for her. It's the least painful way to die.
Q: Did, you mentioned, did you strike her once and then choke her?
A: Well, I had had the idea, well, yeah, I struck her once and that, uh, didn't knock her unconscious.
Q: And then you choked her?
A: It probably would have been nice if it had.
Q: You struck her once and then immediately followed it with a choke I would say. Is that true?
A: Uhm, well, yeah, uhm, I kind of I don't know I wasn't all there.
Q: Yeah. Where were your kids? Were they downstairs playing games?
A: They were downstairs.
Q: And they had no, never indic [sic], they never knew what happened, right?
A: They never knew what happened.

Amazon wants to keep you spending money, and as a commerce company, it has the benefit of having no reason to hide this fact. Its recently announced FireTV set-top box marks a play for the television, but that's potentially small change compared to the money to be gained from locking in most of a person's grocery shopping.
The AmazonFresh grocery service is still only offered in parts of California and Seattle, but yesterday the company added support into the Amazon Android tablet app, and now it's rolling out a new product that goes even further to reduce the amount of time it takes to get an item into your virtual cart.Read More

Rafael Balao realised that Lustau's place had to be at the forefront of quality. His ideas, combining tradition with innovation, paved the way for Lustau to become, today, "The Definitive Quality Sherry House." A collection of Almacenista Sherries, drawing on rare and marvellous wines held by the stockholders, were chosen and offered to selected customers. These wines are some of the finest Sherries made. The Lustau Solera Reserva range of fine old Sherries was created, drawing on stocks of wines held by Lustau since its beginnings as an almacenista. The tradition of the East India Solera was revived, blending rich, sweet Sherries much sought after in the 19th century and made in similar conditions to Madeira wines by maturing the casks of wine in a warm, humid environment. In 1986, stocks for a unique single vintage Sherry, Vendimia Cream, were laid down. This was first released in 1992.
In 1990, the fortunes of Emilio Lustau SA changed dramatically, when the famous El Puerto de Santa Maria Sherry and.spirits company of Luis Caballero SA, producer of Ponche Caballero, Spain's largest selling liqueur, took a major shareholding. This gave Emilio Lustau considerable and secure financial backing, and the chance to develop and expand. It also brought into the company 170 hectares of fine Albariza vineyard land at Montegilillo in the Jerez Superior region to the north of Jerez. The involvement of Luis Caballero SA in the firm of Emilio Lustau has meant that further emphasis is being placed on fine Fino Sherries. All the Sherry interests of the Caballero group are now under the Lustau banner. That includes the considerable stocks of Puerto Fino held in the bodegas at El Puerto de Santa Maria, which form the basis of Lustau Finos. Here, in the Caballero bodegas, more innovation is in progress. A unique Double Flor system of refreshing the wine just before bottling preserves the freshness of Fino in the bottle. This means that the Puerto Fino of Lustau is now one of the most reliable - and freshest - Finos on the market.
Since 1988, Lustau have used a new bottle shape for all their wines. The elegant, dark bottle, with sloping shoulders is unique to the company, setting Lustau Sherries apart from others and reflecting the very special quality of these wines.

"We live in a society and a culture and an economic model that tries to make everything look right. Look at computers. Why are they all putty-colored or off-f******-white? You make something off-white or beige because you are afraid to use any other color – because you don't want to offend anybody. But by definition, when you make something no one hates, no one loves it. So I am interested in imperfections, quirkiness, insanity, unpredictability. That's what we really pay attention to anyway. We don't talk about planes flying; we talk about them crashing".
I remember really liking this quote by Tibor Kalman when I first heard it a while back. Today I was reminded of it while listening to a great talk by Frank Chimero.

Since my moratorium from Walmart...
I went and did ALL my grocery & home supply shopping today...and NOT one mega store threshold did I cross! So here's how I did...
Spent $$38.04
Saved in coupons & in store sales $$36.85
Kroger (grocery store)...
Spent $40.30
Saved in coupons & in store sales $15.31
Big Chief (grocery store)...
Spent (including tip for my sacker who loaded my car for me) $55.29
Saved in coupons & in store sales $14.88
This will tide us over for at least a month with the exception of maybe needing to buy cat litter or pet food (which I will now get at our local feed store).
What I normally would have spent had I gone to just the mega store (according to past purchase history) $321.56
I don't know about you, but this speaks loud and clear to me that I have made a very frugal and wise moratorium choice here!
I forgot to mention...the farthest I drove from home was 8 minutes so my gas and mileage were drastically decreased as well.03-21-2008, 06:53 PM #3

Good for you!!! It's not hard to find better deals if you look for them. One thing is about super stores, you tend to buy things you really weren't there for in the first place. This is probably where you'll find the most savings and you won't end up with so much stuff!Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements03-22-2008, 10:54 AM #4

Good for you!
Here it doesn't work. We don't have any small stores it's all chains/mega stores. The smaller chain stores are much more expensive usually, I do shop there.
I tracked all my receipts from 2007, or most. I spend WAY more at the smaller chains then at the mega stores. However, I do make a list and stick to it. I don't browse through the non grocery areas. So I think for us it is a better decision to stick with it. Plus, here in my area of Canada, coupons are few and far between, and there has NEVER EVER EVER been a double or triple coupon day.
A few stores offer spend $x and get $30 off. I used to work at one of these, and the week before this coupon comes out, the prices get marked up! So there is NO savings at all. Plus for use, we'd never usually spend that $x amount usually. So it's getting you to spend more than normal, likely on stuff you wouldn't buy, to save $x.
One cashier was being pushy about a freebie. "If you spend only $50 more you'll get a free pie." I told her no thanks. But she was insistant, I told her, point blank, "If i wanted the pie, I'd spend the $1.99 and save $48.01, I have no need to spend the $50 to get it. " She didn't get it. Why didn't I want a free pie! ROFL. She wasn't clueing in at all. An older lady behind me patted me on the back. "It's only a savings if you were going to spend that much in the first place, eh?".03-24-2008, 01:55 PM #6

Australian Vietnam Forces National Memorial
From 1962 to 1973, 50 000 Australians served in South Vietnam as part of a composite force, predominantly of American troops. The Australian Vietnam Forces National Memorial is dedicated to all those Australians who served, suffered and died in that conflict.
The memorial was designed by the architectural firm, Tonkin Zulaikha Harford, in association with sculptor Ken Unsworth AM. It was built largely through contributions from the Australian people - raised by the Australian Vietnam Forces National Memorial Committee.
Three concrete stelae, rising from a shallow moat, form the dramatic centre of the memorial and enclose a space for quiet contemplation. Fixed to the inner right-hand wall are 33 inscriptions, a series of quotations intended to recall events of political, military and emotional importance. The photograph etched into the rear wall shows Australian soldiers waiting to be airlifted to Nui Dat after the completion of Operation Ulmarrah. A suspended granite ring contains a scroll bearing the names of those Australians who died in conflict. Surrounding the memorial are six seats dedicated to the memory of the six Vietnam servicemen missing in action.

Spreeify.com Launches Social Shopping Site
Spreeify.com, a brand new, Los Angeles startup, said last week that it has launched a brand new, social shopping site, centered around free giveaways and shopping deals. The startup, led by Ruben Dua, said it combines product giveaways with social shopping, to help merchants gain customers. The firm lets users browse for and shop for women and men's apparel, accessories, home decor, and gadgets.
According to Spreeify, customers shopping on the site earn entries into free giveaways for all kinds of products, with additional entries for sharing information on promotions and products on things like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. The firm said it has more than $1M of free giveaways available on the site.
