A team of veterinary professionals proved their mettle by taking on a muddy challenge to raise money for charity.
In total, 20 vets, vet nurses and receptionists from the Wheelhouse Veterinary Centre in south Buckinghamshire took part in a 10.5-mile Tough Mudder challenge.
The mud-filled obstacle course saw the team members clamber over 10ft fences, pull each other out of pools of ice and tackle live electrical wires as part of a team building exercise they will never forget.
Face their fears
Director Anna Wardle said: "The whole team helped each other face their worst fears and have come out the other side feeling stronger and more united than ever before.
"For the team at the Wheelhouse Veterinary Centre, anything seems possible now. Plans for completing a second Tough Mudder in 2017 are already in place."
Tough Mudder raises money for Help For Heroes, which supports wounded service personnel and their families.

He was hired for a divorce. He never returns phone calls. Its been over a year to this date he has done nothing. taking him to small claims court. DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY YOU WILL BE SORRY!!!
Posted by Frederick
Michael was very compassionate with a delicate matter and explained everything very nicely. He also was up to speed with all the proceedings which ended in a positive manner.
Posted by Alaeddin
Mike helped us with the sale of our home. He explained the process along the way and was clear in his communications and expectations. While this was a stressful time for us (moving with a 2 year old), Mike alleviated our concerns. We closed on-time and had a great experience. We would recommend him to anyone looking to do the same.

Mr. Cicala prepared a will for my wife and I. He got the work done quickly and we're very satisfied with what he produced.

Mr. Cicala handled a real estate transaction for me and my wife. It was a difficult process with getting the mortgage and finalizing the documents, but he made it much easier. Great service.
Posted by anonymous
I hired Mike several years ago for my divorce case and I can't praise his work enough, he was very understanding of my situation in life and put things into perspective for me, as I clearly was not in the right state of mind at the time to think logically on my own. Not only did he help me financially, but he also helped me put on my man boots and understand my life situation. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of his work and predicted word for word what my ex-wife's attorney was going to say in court. In my opinion his experience made this process a lot smother than if I was to hire someone else. Thank you for your kindness Michael Cicala!!!
Posted by Michele
My husband and I have used Michael for multiple house closings. The latest sale of our permanent home for a vacation home was handled smoothly without causing any of the usual stress associated with selling and purchasing homes. Michael even drove to South Jersey for the close without adding any additional billing. Prior to the real estate close he successfully represented me for a traffic ticket. I was cleared of all violations. Michael has also offered countless phone consultations which to me have demonstrated he has a vast legal knowledge base. I have referred Michael to friends for estate planning, guardianship issues and real estate law issues.
Posted by Alexis
Michael Cicala represented me on a real estate closing for my first house. Michael and his knowledgeable office manager/legal assistant guided me through the entire process answering all of my countless questions. His knowledge and professionalism was evident when he was working with the real estate agent and responding to her pressure due to the complex process in obtaining a mortgage.
I returned to use Michael's services to obtain a will and have recommended him to friends and family.

I hired this lawyer to handle a divorce after consulting with some other attorneys. He knew what he was talking about and wasn't looking to run up my bill by fighting over stuff that wasn't important but still protected my interests. He made the divorce process easier for me and got me out of a bad situation. He was quick to respond to my phone calls even when he was out of his office regardless of what time I called. We had a good working relationship.

I have been a huge fan of Adams Fairway woods over the years and I am very pleased to see they are adding a low profile option to their popular Speedline series. The new Speedline LP Fairway Wood is a low profile version of the F11 fairway. The Speedline LP features the same velocity slot technology that F11 does which helps improve distance by creating a higher launch angle with low spin rates. The lower profile helps get the ball in the air from a wide variety of lies and promotes confidence at address. The Adams Speedline LP Fairway Woods are equipped with the premium Matrix Radix graphite shafts for unparalleled consistency.

Oh, puh-lease. When Pinsent Curtis Biddle press-released its merger last week, it all sounded so plausible. Great fit, bolstering London, big push on private equity, blah blah blah. And then Julian Tonks had to go and spoil it all. "We will be able," he declared, "to compete with the leading firms outside the magic circle."
Julian, Julian, Julian. Why didn't you just go the whole hog and say you're on the verge of bagging the entire FTSE 100? Or poised to dominate in European high-yield?
It is increasingly difficult to enthuse a jaded market nowadays – so much so that each announcement comes with a sweaty whiff of spin-doctoring. There used to be a time when every set of merger talks caught the imagination. The Ashurst Morris Crisp comedy of errors with Latham & Watkins; Clifford Chance's stealthy takeover of Rogers & Wells and Pünder Volhard Weber and Axster; the bartering Freshfields had to go through before landing Bruckhaus Westrick Heller Löber – all of them had the essential mix of money, ambition and towering egos. Compared to these, the deals struck by Hammond Suddards Edge and Pinsent Curtis Biddle are prosaic.
Unfortunately for all of them, each set of talks ends up as a five-minute wonder. (Has anyone given a second thought to the Berwin Leighton-Paisner & Co negotiations in the last month? Thought not.) Not only that, but they have to contend with the astoundingly glib assumption that they are part of consolidation in the allegedly overcrowded middle market. In fact, the vast majority of firms from 15 to 50 in The Lawyer 100 Survey 2000 are doing perfectly well, insurance litigation aside. Of course, some will suffer if there is a recession, but that holds for every other business sector in the country. It's salaries that are unsustainable, not the number of mid-sized law firms.
Still, it would be a nice change to see more of these practices embrace the fact that they'll never quite be Linklaters & Alliance. Instead of pretending they're a threat to the big boys, why don't the mid-sized firms play to their strengths? Some of us would rather have seen Julian Tonks say: "We'll be able to make pretty good money, do more interesting work – and we'll still get to see our children." Now, there's a radical thought.

Too happy, perhaps.
When the Vols opened the second half with a lull, the visiting Aggies seized the momentum and rallied to win 57-56 on an unlikely 3-pointer by Antwan Space with 4 seconds left. How unlikely? Space was 2 for 16 on 3-point tries entering Saturday's game but went 2 for 2 against the Vols.
The final score was the Aggies' first lead since 3-0. Being in control for 39 minutes only to let the game slip away in the waning seconds was tough for the Vols to swallow.
"It pains you more … the harder ones to get over," senior post Jeronne Maymon said. "But you can't dwell on it."
A&M iimproves to 11-4 overall and 2-0 in SEC play. Tennessee slips to 10-5 and 1-1 heading into Wednesday's game with visiting Auburn.
Basically, Tennessee gave this one away by failing to show up for the start of the second half. After limiting A&M to 25-percent shooting (6 of 24) in the first 20 minutes, the Vols allowed the Aggies to shoot 53.8 percent (14 of 26) after the break, including 6 of 10 from 3-point range.
"I feel as though we got too lackadaisical, got too comfortable, thinking they was going to lay down," said point guard Antonio Barton, who led Tennessee with 12 points. "But a team like that, they're going to fight, and they fought their way back."
Maymon agreed that the Vols, flying high on a four-game winning streak entering Saturday's action, got complacent after building their halftime cushion.
"You can never get too full of yourself when you're winning games," he said. "I guess this was kind of a humbling experience."
Basically, five minutes of bad play at the start of the second half negated 20 minutes of good play in the first half.
"I think they got the momentum coming out," said Josh Richardson, who added 11 points for Tennessee. "We came out a little flat, and they capitalized."
Jamal Jones was pretty much a one-man show for A&M. After going 1 for 7 from the field in the first half, he caught fire at the start of the second. He nailed three 3-pointers and an 18-footer to ignite a 17-6 rally that whittled the 14-point halftime deficit to 38-35. Minutes later he hit a short jumper that narrowed the gap to two (50-48) with 3:57 remaining.
Stokes assisted Maymon for a layup and Richardson drained a 17-footer as the Vols surged ahead 54-48 with 2:21 to play but the Big Orange faltered down the stretch. Jones hit another 3-pointer, then added a foul shot as A&M closed to 54-52. Barton made a pair of clutch free throws for a 56-52 lead with 36.9 seconds left but the Aggies' Alex Caruso scored on a too-easy drive, trimming the gap to 56-54 with 31 seconds remaining.
What followed was the biggest and most controversial play of the game. When McRae and an Aggie defender collided in backcourt, McRae was whistled for "hooking" with his elbow to get around the opposing player. It was McRae's third offensive foul of the game and fourth overall. Instead of him shooting two free throws to seal the win, A&M got the ball with 28 seconds left.
Tennessee appeared to get a reprieve when Caruso missed two free throws with 17 seconds left but Maymon was fouled on the rebound and promptly missed two of his own. That set up Space's dramatic 3-point game-winner.
Tennessee coach Cuonzo Martin was understandably somber after the game, calling this a "tough, painful loss." He blamed the setback on the fact his team was "stagnant offensively" and "didn't get the stops we needed defensively" after intermission.
Although the Vol coach carefully avoided criticizing the officials, he noted a rash of offensive fouls (particularly illegal screens) called on Tennessee.
"I think that's the first time all year we've been called for that many offensive fouls," he said. "I thought it was strange. I thought it was a little uncharacteristic because our guys are normally solid setting screens."
Maymon was a little more forceful, noting that the Vols "were not as aggressive because of all the foul calls and everything like that. We tried to adjust but we can't let how the game's being called dictate how we play."
Since Tennessee built a 14-point halftime lead with virtually no help from Stokes and McRae, the Vols appeared likely to pull away once the two stars returned to action in the second half. Not so. McRae matched his season low with 9 points and Stokes posted 6, all in the game's opening four minutes.
Martin said he thought the early fouls kept his two stars from "getting in a rhythm, getting in the flow of the game."
The same could not be said of Jamal Jones. The Aggie standout found his rhythm after the break, going 7 of 12 from the field, including 4 of 7 from behind the arc. He scored 20 of his 23 points after intermission.
Maymon was a horse on the backboards, peeling 15 rebounds, but he struggled offensively. He was just 3 of 8 from the field and 3 of 7 from the foul line.
"I was getting good looks," he said. "I was just missing layups. It definitely could've lifted us (if he had shot better). I missed two bunnies (point-blank shots) that would've put us at arm's distance, then I missed the two free throws (with 17 seconds left).
"That's what's really frustrating about that game for me personally."

By Donna Freydkin and Andrea Mandell, USA TODAY
Instead of reveling in her golden moment, recent Oscar winner Sandra Bullock has vanished from the public eye as her personal life makes global headlines.
Blindsided by tabloid reports that her husband, Jesse James, has had extramarital affairs, Bullock has canceled her public appearances and remained out of sight. Meanwhile, James issued an apology and has been photographed out and about in Los Angeles wearing his wedding ring.
On Tuesday, his representative issued a statement confirming a People story reporting that James checked into a rehab facility, seeking professional help to deal with "personal issues." It goes on to say that James "realized that this time was crucial to help himself, help his family and help save his marriage."
But where does America's plucky sweetheart go from here?
"I think everyone feels horrible for her, and they also have the utmost respect for her as a person and as an actress. ... She deserves to be able to handle this as a woman, not as a celebrity," says New York entertainment publicist Amy Brownstein.
Bullock's decision to retreat from the limelight is a good one, says relationship expert M. Gary Neuman, author of The Truth About Cheating: Why Men Stray and What You Can Do to Prevent It.
"She's a real person who's hurt and who needs to be away and to be left alone," Neuman says.
For a celebrity like Bullock, that's nearly impossible.
"What happens to these stars is that it's so public, it inhibits your ability to process it and get through it," Neuman says. "You need space to put things in perspective, and that becomes impossible when you can't walk out of your house."
Eventually, Bullock will step out. And when she does, it should be en route to a movie set, experts say.
"I don't think she 'owes' the public anything. This is a personal matter, not a career-driven crisis," says crisis-management expert Eric Dezenhall, the co-author of Damage Control: How to Get the Upper Hand When Your Business Is Under Attack. "Her redemption will be in her work."
Nor does the best-actress winner for The Blind Side need to give her image any CPR.
"I don't think it's necessary to give an interview. She isn't the one who 'erred' and needs to fix a reputation," Brownstein says.
Giving gratuitous interviews only "extends the news cycle and doesn't nip it in the bud the way it might have 20 years ago. Saying less shows greater character, and that's the route I hope she takes."
Publicist Kelly Cutrone, the star of Bravo's reality series Kell on Earth, disagrees. "This really affects her brand," Cutrone says. "It doesn't matter if people like her a lot in the press. Of course they do, but she still has to answer those questions. It's inevitable. She has to speak to her fans."
Retreating from the public eye entirely could be a mistake, says psychotherapist Gilda Carle.
"She has got to stand tall. When something happens to you, something happens for you."

Deputy's father found stabbed to death in home
by: Tom Regan Updated:
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ga. - Investigators continued to search a home on Chattahochee Drive in Douglasville Friday, looking for potential evidence and clues in the slaying of Jerry Wheeler.
The 66-year-old husband and father was found stabbed to death Wednesday by his son, a deputy with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
"It was a violent attack. It's really too early to say whether he knew the perpetrators," said Douglas County Chief Deputy Stan Copeland.
Copeland told Channel 2's Tom Regan investigators do not yet have a motive for the attack but do not believe the victim was robbed.
Wheeler's wife was out of town at the time. The couple has lived in the home for many years. Friends and neighbors are stunned.
"I'm heartbroken. Jerry was the type of man who didn't have enemies. He's good to everyone. Everyone loved him. It's just unbelievable something like this would happen to such a wonderful man," neighbor Tammy Ligon said.
Wheeler owns a successful auto repair business on Lee Road. Regan visited the garage and spoke with a friend and partner who leased space to Wheeler.
"I mean, he was someone I worked 20 years with. He was a good mechanic. He was one of those guys that knew when he had a problem, he would stick with it till he got it fixed. I don't know why anyone would do something like that to anyone like him," said auto shop owner Mike Mullen.
The Douglas County Sheriff's office has posted a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of theperson or persons involved in the
stabbing. If you have information on the case you are asked to call the Douglas County Sheriff's office at 770-942-2121.

The Punch
The crowd exploded as the punch landed, the force of their expelled breaths buffeting me like angry waves. But there was something odd about the energy I felt in that roar; it did not have the smell of satisfaction that I was expecting.
No, the overwhelming sensation I felt was that of surprise.
My eyes snapped open. Only a few seconds had passed since they had closed but the world had been turned upside down in that time.
Kofi was falling to the canvas, so slowly that it seemed like the air around him had turned to honey. Alex had risen from his crouch and now stood watching his opponent's collapse, his right fist still in the air above him from the follow-through of the uppercut he had just thrown.
For some reason the thought came to me that he looked like a masculine version of the Statue of Liberty. It is an image I will never forget.
And then Kofi's body finally met the canvas and the reality of the situation hit home and I began whooping and hollering like a little boy.
"One!" the referee shouted as Alex came toward our corner, looking more than a little stunned. "Two!"
"That was incredible!" Doc shouted. Alex blinked and smiled back. "You almost lifted him into the air with that punch! Way to go, kid!"
"Four!" I pumped my fist at Alex while silently cursing myself for missing the punch. I knew that I'd get to see it on video later, and that with all the camera flashes going off there would be a few poster-worthy shots to be found, but nothing would make up for seeing it live and in person. "Five!"
Kofi began to stir and he rolled onto his right side. He planted his left glove on the mat and tried to push himself up.
"Come on," I whispered, "just stay down."
The Killer had risen to one knee and was shaking his head from side to side as he attempted to clear out the cobwebs that had suddenly materialized on his brain. I held my breath as his legs propelled him upward.
He teetered on his feet like a drunken sailor and the ref paused momentarily in his count. Then Kofi crumpled to the canvas once more and it was all over.
At last, it was all over.
"You did it!" I shouted at Alex as two small hands grabbed my shoulders and spun me around. Her lips were on mine before my eyes could refocus and they began to close to savour the moment, my body responding of its own accord. I felt surprise at Dawn's behaviour but it was a vague, far away feeling.
But then, just before my eyelids joined as one, I realized the woman in my arms was not Dawn.
"Samantha!" I said, pulling my head back sharply. Her arms were still firmly on my shoulders and her face took up all of my vision. "What the hell are you doing?"
"Giving you a little preview of later tonight," she purred before patting me on the cheek and pulling away. She tucked her card into the front pocket of my jeans and added with a predatory smile, "Call me."
Stunned, my eyes followed her as she moved around the ring to take close-up pictures of Kofi on the mat as he trainers gathered around him. Snapping out of it, I swung my head back only to find Dawn staring at me with shock and disgust and hurt pulling her face this way and that.
"Dawn…" I began but words failed me as her expression darkened to rage. I wanted to try again but Doc, who could not have seen what had just happened, was pulling me into the ring to celebrate Alex's victory.
I meekly let him drag me between the ropes as Dawn turned away and disappeared into the crowd. I wanted to run after her but my legs felt rooted to the spot. Then Alex enveloped me in a bone crushing hug as I straightened and I tried my best to be happy for him.
"Thank you," he told me, his mouth inches from my ear. "I owe you so much. Thank you."
I don't suppose I can cash in that favour and have you go get Dawn back for me?
"Hey, you did all the hard work," I replied as I patted him on the back. "I just stood around and supervised." I laughed weakly and then held him at arm's length. "You did great Alex, I'm so proud of you. You did brilliantly."
He beamed back at me before being pulled to the middle of the ring by the referee. Doc put his arm around my shoulder as we watched the ring announcer make the official announcement. Kofi's people had managed to get him on the stool in his corner but he still didn't seem to know where he was or what was going on.
I could relate to that.
"Ladies and gentlemen," the tuxedoed man boomed into the microphone, "referee Dale Richardson has called an end to this bout at one minute and twenty-five seconds of the sixth round. Your winner, by way of knockout… Alexandre Denis!"
Alex had his arm raised as hundreds of cameras seemed to capture the moment. The referee turned him to face all four sides of the ring before stepping away to allow Alex to enjoy the spotlight on his own. After pumping his arms to the suddenly appreciative crowd he waved Doc and I over to join him.
We each grabbed one of his gloves and raised them to more cheers, turning in another slow circle. The adulation of the crowd, combined with the joy radiating from Alex, almost succeeded in cheering me up. But then as we completed the turn my eyes fell on Gregor and the cops and my mind returned to Dawn.
Alex may have won his fight but my battles were about to begin.

Spiritual Brain: A Neuroscientist's Case for the Existence of the Soulby Mario Beauregard, Denyse O'leary, Denyse O'Leary

- Read an Excerpt
- What People Are Saying
- Meet the author
Drawing on cutting-edge research in brain imaging done on Carmelite nuns, neuroscientist Mario Beauregard examines how our brain processes religious, mystical, and spiritual experiences. The evidence he presents flies in the face of conventional thinking and provides scientific documentation for the validity of mystical experiences, giving us a peek into our very souls.
Editorial Reviews
Following C.S. Lewis's dictum that "to 'see through' all things is the same as not to see," neuroscientist Beauregard and journalist O'Leary mount a sweeping critique of a trend in "the pop science media" to explain away religious experience as a brain artifact, pathology or evolutionary quirk. While sympathizing with the attraction such "neurotheology" holds, the authors warn against the temptation to force the complex varieties of human spirituality into simplistic categories that they argue are conceptually crude, culturally biased and often empirically untested. In recently published research using Carmelite nuns as subjects, Beauregard's group at the University of Montreal found specific areas of brain activation associated with contemplative prayer. But these patterns are quite distinct from those associated with hallucinations, autosuggestion or states of intense emotional arousal, resembling instead how the brain processes "real" experiences. Insisting that "we have never entertained the idea of proving the existence of God," the authors concede that "the results of our work are assumed to be a strike either for or against God" and that "on the whole, we [don't] mind." Never shrinking from controversy, and sometimes deliberately provoking it, this book serves as a lively introduction to a field where neuroscience, philosophy, and secular/spiritual cultural wars are unavoidably intermingled.

In principle, the natural sciences are agnostic. Dealing only in physical data, they can prove neither that God (a being deemed entirely spiritual) exists nor that he does not. But if science is in essence agnostic, scientists themselves often are not. Many books purport that science supports atheism (e.g., Daniel C. Dennett's Breaking the Spell). Others, such as this one, believe that science supports theism. With the assistance of journalist O'Leary (Faith@Science: Why Science Needs Faith in the Twenty-First Century), Canadian neuroscientist Beauregard here argues that his own work with Carmelite nuns and various other scientific studies show that merely physical explanations for religious experience are insufficient. He should end the discussion there: answer unknown. But he argues further that mystical experience shows spiritual beings must exist, and that the existence of God is probable. This conclusion is beyond science. Beauregard argues well in clear, readable prose, avoiding highly technical language. Whether his argument is convincing is up to the reader. Recommended for academic libraries and for public libraries with strong religion collections.

The Spiritual Brain
A Neuroscientist's Case for the Existence of the Soul
Chapter One
Toward a Spiritual Neuroscience
In June 2005, the historic World Summit on Evolution was held on the remote island of San Cristobal in the Galápagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador. The unassuming location, Frigatebird Hill, was chosen because it was the very spot where Charles Darwin first docked in 1835 to probe the "mystery of mysteries"—the origin and nature of species, including (and perhaps especially) the human species.
These isolated Pacific islands lying on the equator later became a stopover for pirates, whalers, and sealers who drove the unique life forms that Darwin studied to the brink of extinction. But still later, under government protection in the twentieth century, the islands evolved into a sort of shrine to materialism—the belief that all life, including human life, is merely a product of the blind forces of nature.1 In the materialist's view, our "minds"—soul, spirit, free will—are simply an illusion created by the electrical charges in the neurons of our brains. Nature is, as Oxford zoologist Richard Dawkins famously put it, a "blind watchmaker."2
The Galápagos meeting was quickly hailed as the Woodstock of Evolution. The scientists present, a "Who's Who of evolutionary theory,"3 were well aware of their own importance and the significance of the proceedings. "We are simply stunned to be here," wrote one science journalist, recalling that the elite audience listened to the familiar tale of evolution "rapt,like children hearing the retelling of a favorite story."4
According to the favorite tale, human beings are merely "a bizarre tiny clade," in the words of one attendee.5 And the mission of the next summit promises to tell that tale to the whole world.6 However, to judge from the growing dissension around the teaching of evolution, the world has heard it already.
A Series of Mindless Events?
A key figure at the conference was American philosopher Daniel Dennett. Dennett, who bears a striking physical resemblance to Charles Darwin, is a world-famous philosopher of mind. He is the favorite philosopher of those who think that computers can simulate human mental processes. Curiously, for a philosopher of mind, he hopes to convince the world that there isn't really any such thing as a mind in the traditional sense. He is best known, perhaps, for saying that "Darwin's dangerous idea" is the best idea anyone ever had, because it firmly grounds life in materialism. As he understands it, human beings are "big, fancy robots" and, better still:
If you have the right sort of process and you have enough time, you can create big fancy things, even things with minds, out of processes which are individually stupid, mindless, simple. Just a whole lot of little mindless events occurring over billions of years can create not just order, but design, not just design, but minds, eyes and brains.7
Dennett insists that there is no soul or spirit associated with the human brain, or any supernatural element, or life after death. Thus, his career focus has been to explain how "meaning, function and purpose can come to exist in a world that is intrinsically meaningless and functionless."8 He came to the Galápagos to testify to that view.
Of course, many -people are dismayed by ideas such as Dennett's and hope that they are false. Others welcome them as a means of freeing the human race from restraints imposed by traditional religions and philosophies. Let us progress, they say, toward a more humane system that both expects less of humans and blames them less for their failures—failures they can't help anyway, really.9
The question addressed in this book is not whether materialism is good news or bad news. Rather, the question is, does the evidence from neuroscience support it? As constitutional law professor Phillip Johnson, long a foe of materialism, which he terms "naturalism," writes: "If the blind watchmaker thesis is true, then naturalism deserves to rule, but I am addressing those who think the thesis is false, or at least are willing to consider the possibility that it may be false."10
True or false, materialism was the dominant intellectual current of the twentieth century and provided the impetus for most major philosophical and political movements of the day. Indeed, many thinkers today see the primary purpose of science as providing evidence for materialist beliefs. They reject with hostility any scientific evidence that challenges such beliefs, as we will see in our discussion of the psi effect in Chapter Six. Every year, thousands of books are published, in dozens of disciplines, advancing materialist views.
Not this one. This book will show that Professor Dennett and the many neuroscientists who agree with him are mistaken. It will take you on a journey different from the one he has made. Not to the Galápagos Islands, but inside the brain. It will show you why he is mistaken. In the first place, the materialists' account of human beings does not bear up well under close examination. In the second place, there is good reason for believing that human beings have a spiritual nature, one that even survives death.
But first things first. Why should you embark on this journey unless you see the need for a nonmaterialist account of human nature? A new account is needed because the materialists' account is inadequate. It is failing in a number of areas. So let us begin by outlining some of the failures. Let's start with this question: What would you be left with if you accepted the materialists' explanation of you? Would you recognize yourself? If not, why not? What is missing?The Spiritual Brain

Does your business have a bad reputation?

Corporate Advocacy Program™
This company is a scam that takes money from people who are in desperate need of help in finding their lost pets.
My dog had gotten out of our yard and in my panic I found this website in hopes it would help me in finding her. I never received a confirmation email. When I called, I only got their answering machine. I finally got a reply to my second email to them, only to be told to check my spam folder. They were added to my safe senders list already, which I informed them.
After a few emails, I requested a list of where the flyers were sent to, only to be told their processing department would be notified and would get back to me nlt the 17th of Feb. I still have not heard from them. I emailed them again this morning requesting a full refund, which they stated in their last email to me I would receive a full refund if they could not provide my requested list, which I have not.
I am now awaiting my full refund and I am also going to report them to the Better Business Bureau. I do not understand how this "company" can still be allowed to falsely advertise on the internet when after doing more research on them, it is a known fact that they are not legitimate. They do nothing but charge consumers for providing false hope that they are actually helping them in finding their lost pets.
I am totally disgusted by these people. I have let my family and friends know to pass the word that both sites being used by this scam artist are fake and nothing but a rip off.

But Astra won't see any scenery because all the humans will be put in a deep, deep frozen sleep until the ship reaches their new home. Everything WOULD have gone as planned if Astra hadn't slipped off to the dining hall and asked the Num-O-Tron to make a cake that "is so delicious it is scary." Astra doesn't get her cake because the Num-O-Tron is still computing when she is put in her pod. When she wakes up she discovers the ship is infested with giant, ferocious cupcakes. Worse Pibeam, a friendly robot, tells her there are still ninety-nine years left before anyone else wakes up. Can Astra evade the sharp toothed cupcakes long enough to save the ship??

K. JESSIE SLATEN/Herald-Zeitung Walgreens' new store about one year away By Ron Maloney Staff Writer A pair of old houses have been moved to help clear the way, but a new Walgreens drug store at Walnut Avenue and Business 35 still is a year or so away. Russ Sims, vice president of real estate and finance for developer The Place Commercial Real Estate in San Antonio, said Monday he expected construction to begin at the site within the next two to three months. "I don't have a deadline right now. I really don't have anything else to say," Sims said. Carol Hively, at the Walgreens corporate offices in Deerfield, 111., said Monday that the store, which will replace a slightly smaller one on a more cramped lot at Walnut and San Antonio Street, is slated to be open sometime next year. "We don't see it being completed before late winter or early spring of 2001," she said. When built, the new Walgreens will replace a professional building on the southwest comer at Walnut and Business 35 that now houses the Randy Kasberg insurance agency, Mickey Ferrell Realtors and Oncology Associates. A pair of homes on lots north of the professional center have been raised and moved from their lots. A site plan submitted during the permit process showed a parking lot would be built where Schwab's Welding and Machine Shop now is located. The new Walgreens' entrances will be on Walnut, Business 35 and Hickory Avenue, according to the plans. The building, as proposed last winter, will be about 15,000 square feet, while the existing one is 12,400 square feet. The lot size of the existing store is less than one acre, while the new one will sit on more than two acres and, with 80 parking spaces, allow space for about 30 more cars than currently.

But the furry, masked trouble makers also introduce a far less benign problem into local yards and homesteads — a disease that could kill the family pet. Raccoons infected with canine distemper — a highly contagious virus that affects the respiratory and nervous system — can transmit the potentially fatal disease to dogs that are not protected by a yearly vaccination. JNcv.. ;ls Animal Control recently has exterminated an increasing number of raccoons infected with canine distemper.

JESSIE SLATEN/Herald-Zeitung Manuel Camareno and his grandson Brandon spent more than 500 hours preparing this "Super Spurs Ship" to honor David Robinson and the rest of the Camareno family's favorite NBA basketball team. By Ron Maloney Staff Writer SAN ANTONIO — It began as a tribute to the San Antonio Spurs in honor of the team's 1999 National Basketball Association title. By the time the "Super Spurs Ship" was finished — more than 500 labor hours and many months later — it was a gesture of kinship and respect extended from one veteran to another. Manuel Camareno Sr., a retired U.S. Army first sergeant from New Braunfels, dedicated his handmade, wooden three-foot model ship to David Robinson, the Spurs center known to teammates as "The Admiral." Camareno and his family are big Spurs fans, and after the team defeated the New York Knicks to win the 1999 championship, Camareno said they decided they must do something to honor the team. Camareno, whose 21 years in the Army included tours of duty in Alaska, Korea, Germany and a pair of combat hitches in Vietnam, wanted to honor Robinson, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate who served a two-year stint as a lieutenant before joining the NBA. Camareno said he believed Robinson was the only NBA player to have served on active duty in the military. "They get out of college and get a million or $10 million contract; why should they serve?" he asked rhetorically. "I said, 'Hey — the ship fits his character.'" So he named the ship the Commander Robinson. "This ship represents you, your teammates, the organization and the fans," Camareno wrote in a letter to Robinson and the team. "We honor you, David, as a veteran like myself — as the only veteran playing in the NBA. From all the Camareno family, we thank you for all the great thrills you have given us." Camareno said he spent 470 hours constructing the ship, many of them while the disabled career non-commissioned officer was a patient at Audie L. Murphy Veterans' Hospital in San Antonio. His See SHIP/5A After the appraisals: CAD meeting quiet, quick By Ron Maloney Staff Writer They were shaking their heads Monday night at the meeting of the directors of the Comal Appraisal District. Nobody came, except for the board, chief appraiser Lynn Rodgers and others on the staff. "I'm really surprised," board chair Wayne Brotze said. A couple others around the table nodded in agreement. What Brotze was surprised about is nobody — nobody — attended the CAD's board meeting to complain about the new, higher tax appraisals, which have been out for just two weeks. The appraisal district is charged with appraising property values for the purposes of taxation. "I expected to see a few people," Brotze said. Rodgers, who has been in the appraising business for a few years, said it didn't seem extraordinary to him. "We don't usually," Rodgers _ said. "I think that's because you do such a good job of promoting the appeal process," board secretary Jim Rice told Rodgers. To appeal, a taxpayer among the 40,000 who received reappraisal notices this year should contact the Comal Appraisal District at 625-8597 to request an appointment with an appraiser or the Appraisal Review Board. Deadline is May 31. Rodgers said appeals this year are about on par with all years for which he had records. "It's really pretty typical," Rodgers told the board. "No more or no less than in any previous year. Generally, about 2 percent protest at some level — that's been very constant for many years." The way the process works is a taxpayer notifies the district that he would like to appeal his appraisal, and an informal, 15-minute appointment is set up with an appraiser. After that appointment — they're going on now — a formal appointment can be set up in June or early July with the Appraisal Review Board. Right now, Rodgers said, about 360 taxpayers have asked for ARB appointments, and many more are expected —800 protested this past year — before the appeal deadline. That doesn't mean all get hearings. Several people who scheduled informal meetings on Monday, for example, didn't show up for them, the chief appraiser said. To appeal, a taxpayer among the 40,000 who received reappraisal notices this year can contact the Comal Appraisal District at 625-8597 to request an appointment with an appraiser or the Appraisal Review Board.

By Heather Todd Staff Writer New Braunfels resident Patricia Meckler and her two daughters have lived at the Rosedale Apartments the past four years, but not by choice. "I live here because I have to, not because I want to," the single mother said. But Meckler said she is afraid that if the city forces her to move from her apartment by June I, her family will have to live out of their car. "I can't find another place to live in threeHHH weeks," Meckler said a week ago while standing outside her apartment. "It's not fair that they gave us only a month," Meckler said. "I'm a single parent with two kids and I don't know what I'm going to do." And Meckler said she is concerned even if she does find housing, she might not be able to afford it. "I can go and give most of my money to a landlord, but I need to feed and clothe my kids," she said. Meckler said she pays about $205 a month for her apartment.

Helping Conn
"Papa," Conn mumbled as he squinted against the sun.
"Conn wake up," she said slightly shaking his shoulder.
He seemed puzzled, he tried to get up but soon gave up, "What happened, and why is my head throbbing?"
"You, ever so stupidly, used up more magic then you had trying to save me," Adriana replied.
Realization crossed his face as the memories rushed back to him. "I was just trying to make sure my investigation went smoothly; if my guide was injured how was I supposed to continue?" he said with a grin.
"Just fine, come on director, we both know you don't really need me," did she just say that? She felt the blood rush to her cheeks, she was getting too comfortable.
Conn, however didn't seem to notice, "It seems I may enjoy you company a bit more than you think," he said casually, flashing another grin.
"You should eat something, keep your head down, I'll be right back" Adriana said. She jogged to where she'd thrown her bag only to find that during her panic she had forgotten to zip it back up and most of its contents had fallen onto the ground. Sighing, she picked everything up and threw them back into her bag, leaving only a few essential things that Conn would need.
She ran back to him and carefully propped his head up with a towel. "The throbbing should ease once you have some real food; all I have right now are some almonds but they should keep you going till we get back." she said handing him a small bag.
He slowly ate the almonds and, with the help of Adriana, was able to stand up. They walked towards Zehra and this time it was Conn that needed assistance mounting her. As they rode north, Conn was suspiciously quiet.
"What is it?" Adriana asked.
"Nothing," he said, she gave him a questioning look and reluctantly he answered, " After I fainted, you immediately knew what the problem was and how to solve it...how? "
"I...er, used to take first-aid classes before," she paused a little before she continued, "Before I was...chosen I wanted to be a doctor, so I would sneak a couple of my father's books, he was a teacher."

Susana Watts is a contemporary artist, living & working in Hampshire. She has been working with texture for the last decade, finding a successful method of using plaster, and scratching (scraffito) into the surface whilst the plaster is still wet – a method similar to the traditional art of fresco making. Layers of paints & glazes add to the build-up of texture, and collage is often added to increase the effect.
Susana concentrates on Still Life painting and has exhibited at Lacewing Fine Art for many years, both in their Gallery at Winchester and at the LAPADA shows at the Royal Academy, London, in 2005 - 2008

Carpe Diem Foundation Scholarships
Official site: http://www.carpediemfoundation.org/aboutcarpediem.html
Final Deadline: Temporarily suspended; Check website for updates
"[The Carpe Diem] Foundation was established pursuant to the direction of Mabel E. Greenspon who died on March 21, 2001. The sole sources of funding are the proceeds of the Mabel E. Greenspon Charitable Remainder Trust.
Her instructions were that upon her death, a charitable foundation was to be established to identify and assist students and teachers who were most likely to improve the quality of human life.
Mrs. Greenspon sought to identify students who were not being adequately served by existing scholarship programs. She felt that exceptional students from poor families were served by the existing "need based" grant and loan programs that are offered by every major institution. The class of individuals whom she felt most needed assistance were individuals from families that had chosen to work in public service and accumulated some assets. These students don't qualify for "need based" grants, yet their families are not financially able to provide these exceptional students with opportunities commensurate with their abilities. Mrs. Greenspon believed that families should not be penalized for choosing public service careers. She also believed that by providing opportunities for exceptional individuals, she could make a difference in the world. She made many such gifts during her lifetime and sought to have her good works continue after her death. The Foundation will be guided in accordance with her principles." ~Website

... Highlight wasn't actually the aquaduct, but the interesting rock formations in the area and the charisma of the country folk wandering around the site. City sights in the afternoon, including about two dozen photo requests from people wandering around the Apolonia church on the hill.

I walked back to find West sitting with Pedro and peeling cacao. Pedro had just received some fruit from his farm that a friend had brought up for him, mostly oranges, lemons, and a citrus Peruvian fruit (that I don't really care for) called lima. He offered us some fresh organic oranges and they were delicious. Corongo is so far off the map that it ...

It makes you want to be a better person and be in a better mood just so that you can give back the friendliness. And the views in every direction were marvelous. We only stayed for two hours before we needed to head out but I felt like I was leaving something important behind and like I was leaving too soon.

Georgia Public Broadcasting's Susanna Capelouto surveys the scene and the potential for making history and joins us from outside the polls.

Beschreibung"Hard Green" indicts environmentalism as we know it today and articulates a robust, conservative alternative. Huber maintains that, captured as it has been by the "Soft Green" oligarchy of scientists, regulators, and lawyers, modern environmentalism does not conserve forests, oceans, lakes, and streams but instead hastens their destruction.
PortraitPeter Huber is a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute's Center for Legal Policy, where he specializes in issues related to technology, science, and law. His previous books include Hard Green, Liability, and Galileo's Revenge. He lives in Bethesda, Maryland.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs on the road today. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the luxury built into each Audi, and understand that only the highest quality repair 4000 Quattro parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Your Audi dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your 4000 Quattro. You picked your 4000 Quattro because its sporty handling and German engineering agreed with your nature; so why would you settle for second rate when it comes to superior quality auto parts?
The performance of your car or truck is the result of an evolved suspension. Your vehicle's MacPherson strut suspension reduces vehicle weight and improves maneuverability of the wheel carrier, as opposed to having a shock and upper control arm. At the top of the your strut is your Audi 4000 Quattro strut mount, and it consists of a metal sleeve inside a rubber or urethane bushing which provides a means for the strut to fasten to it and pivot as well. As your car or truck encounters inconsistencies in the road, this pivot at the strut mount allows your wheel to adjust a few degrees in any and all directions. This adaptability was never seen before the strut mount, and your Audi 4000 Quattro owes its comfortable ride to it.
Procuring new Audi parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are taking advantage of the absolute greatest original and aftermarket replacement 4000 Quattro parts on the internet. Given all the hassles associated with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make purchasing it easy.

Wenger's League Cup debutants: Vela to Van Persie, Sunu to Cesc
Arsenal 6-0 Sheff United: 23 Sep, 2008
Vela chips his way to a hat-trick, Bendtner grabs a brace and Jack Wilshere gets his first Gunners goal in this Emirates rout.
Jay Simpson: The Enfield-born striker played in an U18 game aged just 13, and regularlystarred for Arsenal reserves whilst still at school in Islington. Simpson also has his own unique piece of history, as he was the first player to hit a hat-trick at the Emirates in a 3-2 Youth Cup win over Cardiff City in 2007. Despite his potential he made only two appearances, and was farmed out on loan to Millwall, West Brom and QPR before signing permanently for Hull City in 2010. A familiar pattern of unfufilled talent saw him net only 12 goals in 78 games for the Tigers, though, and he spent a season with Buriram United in Thailand on a contract worth a reported £40,000 a week. Penned a three-year contract with Leyton Orient in 2014.
Francis Coquelin: The French defensive midfielder has also covered for Arsenal at right midfield and right-back. Coquelin began his career playing for AS Laval Bourny before leaving for Stade Lavallois, where Arsenal scout Gilles Grimandi spotted him playing for France in an U17 match against Israel. Loaned to Bundesliga club Freiburg for the 2013/14 season, then Charlton for the start of the next, and it looked like his Arsenal career was finally heading to an inevitable end until a customary injury crisis handed him his big break midway through last season. Hasn't looked back since.
Gavin Hoyte: The younger brother of ex-Arsenal player Justin, both shared their former British sprinter mother's pace. Hoyte Jr. played in all five of England's matches at the 2007 U17 World Cup but never made the first-team grade at Arsenal. After loans spells at Watford, Brighton, Lincoln and Wimbledon he joined Dagenham and Redbridge, then Gillingham, and is still knocking about the Football League with Barnet in League Two.
Arsenal 2-0 West Brom: 22 Sep, 2009
Academy man Watt opens the scoring before Vela seals the deal in the second half.
Wojciech Szczesny: Arsenal's young Polish keeper had already been making a name for himself at reserve level before making his debut here. He didn't have a quiet evening, being called into action twice to deny Simon Cox and Robert Koren. A couple of months later he would go to Brentford on loan and enjoy great success, before returning to Arsenal and establishing himself as the club's No.1. Currently on loan at Roma, though, with his Gunners career in the balance.
Sanchez Watt: It was 18-year-old Watt who grabbed the opener on his debut after Carlos Vela's shot had been parried by Dean Kiely. The striker came into this season off the back of a successful FA Youth Cup-winning run, but his career stalled somewhat after this. A succession of loan spells brought nothing but false hope, and after finally leaving for Colchester on a permanent basis, he jumped ship to Kerala Blasters in the Indian Super League this summer.
Gilles Sunu: Another FA Youth Cup winner who offered signs of encouragement with an energetic display. Like Watt, though, his Arsenal career fell by the wayside. After a couple of loans at Derby and French side Lorient he joined the latter on a permanent basis in 2011. After showing signs of settling in France alongside former Gunner Jeremie Aliadiere, he made two quick moves to Evian and then Ligue 1 new boys Angers in 2015.
Arsenal 3-1 Shrewsbury: 20 Sep, 2011
James Collins shocks the Emirates with an early goal but the Gunners roar back with goals from Gibbs, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Benayoun.
Ryo Miyaichi: The Japanese winger never held down a regular place at the Emirates Stadium after briefly exciting Arsenal fans with his pace and trickery. A succession of long-term injuries have stalled his career but now he's back and looking to make up for lost time – with St. Pauli in Germany's second division.
Oguzhan Ozyakup: Came on for the last 13 minutes in his competitive debut for Arsenal. The young Turkish midfielder didn't have much time to make an impact but did so in his short stint on the pitch, setting up Yossi Benayoun for Arsenal's third of the night. At the end of the season he was sold to Besiktas for €500,000, and has since made a great impression for the Turkish side. Made his Turkey debut in 2013 – although he could have played for the Netherlands too. A boy done good.
Chuks Aneke: The powerful midfielder swept all in front of him in the under-21s, but found first-team life more difficult. This was Aneke's only Gunners appearance, preceding loan spells with Stevenage, Preston and Crewe (twice). Interestingly, he joined Belgium's Zulte Waregem in 2014 and is still there.
NEXT: Gnabry, Bellerin and Angha

The Plan
Holly stood up as well but Trey still seemed like a whole extra person taller than her. "You know, I could tell them that you threatened me." she whispered, trying to keep the fear from her voice.
"Oh really. You would do that, would you?" Trey taunted.
"Yes." She said as strongly as possible but her voice cracked a little. "I could tell them all that you threatened to hurt me again if I didn't tell a lie."
"Mhmm." He murmured, cracking his knuckles. "But … what will you tell them if you're dead?" He whispered the last part, sending a shiver down Holly's spine.
"I … I … I won't be." She tried to glare at him but it was hard to focus.
"Mhmm." Trey placed his hand around her neck gently. He wasn't squeezing it or anything but Holly was whimpering.
"Okay … okay. What if I didn't tell them that?" she whispered, closing her eyes. She wished Trey would just let go without hurting her but the chances were slim because he was pretty angry.
"Mhmm." He repeated, letting her go. "I like that plan better."

For Better Health i Muir I .irrr - Skin Cancer Cures High By Dr. S.L. Aedelmae Skin cancer is so common that almost everyone has a friend or relative who has had it. Fortunately, most skin cancers are curable, easily prevented and seldom fatal. Of all cases of cancer in men. about one in five is confined to the skin; in women. about one in ll. The high cure rate is partly due to the fad that precancerous lesions and cancer are easily identified on the skin surface Most skin cancer is basal cell carcinoma and is often found on the nose. eyelids or elsewhere on the face. Like other skin cancers, it seems to be caused, or at least aggravated. by exposure to the sun for long periods People who do most of their work or play outdoors have the highest rate of basal cell carcinoma. It occurs most readily among people with blond hair and blue eyes. Grows Slowly Basal cell carcinoma of the skin grows slowly, starting as a small, round lump or swelling with a waxy appearance. Later, if not removed it ulcerates in the center and a Dr. Andelman scab grows over it Finally, if still untreated it may invade adjacent tissue or destroy eye or nose tissue. It seldom metastasizes to remote parts of the body Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin usually grows faster. It may resemble the basal cell variety somewhat, but the lump is often red and cone-shaped It tends to metastasize to lymph nodes more often than the basal cell type. Blemishes Skin cancer may be preceded by skin blemishes or lesions known as benign dermatoses Some of these precancerous growths include senile keratosis, or deteriora tion of an aged person's skin; radiodermatitis, caused by radiation exposure, and xeroderma pigmentosum, a rare childhood disease with changes in skin color Almost all basal and squamous cell skin carcinomas can he eliminated quite effectively by surgical removal. If the cancer has started to spread, nearby lymph nixies also must be removed Irradiation treatment may he used separately or as an adjunct to surgery in cont rolling the cancer As with all types of cancer, skin cancer is treated hest if it's caught early. Be alert to the symptoms — lesions or other unusual changes in your skin Get medical treatment early and follow your doctor's advice to avoid a recurrence of the cancer.
