Better luck with the replacement of the replacement!Wont have to worry about this as the car was totaled (presumably) yesterday. Some student didn't yield to lia (cross traffic) while pulling out of a mall. She t-boned him, bags deployed, looks like frame damage. The good thing is that no parties were injured, she gave me quite a scare. Couldn't really care less about the car, it'll be replaced. Just glad she wasn't hurt.

Wow - sorry to hear about the crash.
ad she's okay. As always that's the most important thing; sheet metal can be replaced.
Staying tuned to what you folks decide to do next...
Family Garage:
2016 Dodge Durango Citadel AWD - mine
2014 Dodge Durango Limited AWD - wife's
2004 Acura TSX - for the kids to learn on and drive
1967 Chevrolet Corvette <-- Father in Law's classic. We're just the caretaker/owners
Perhaps a sign you should have gone with the Vette.
That said, the ND's transmission is vastly superior in almost every way.
The last page has been weird.
Some commenting on the crash and others about the initial post on page one.
Maybe add a note to the Original Post to see post #whatever about crash and she is ok?
It's like when family leave a FB page up as a memorial to a departed, and people keep posting happy birthday wishes on the wall every year because FB sends birthday reminders.
Did they ever fix that?
removed because realized just as annoying as the people that refuse to turn off their phone app's auto-spam with every post.
So I guess congrats on the purchase, and sorry to hear about the crash
I will say that your GT build thread REALLY had me looking at mustangs last year.
Whoever buys that trade in will get a well sorted vehicle.
My avatar disappeared completely. I went into my 'edit profile' page and saw one that was a steam locomotive line drawing gif of some sort, but as far as I know it didn't work. Did anyone else see it? I couldn't see it on my iPad or at work on my Mac. I don't think I ever looked from a Windows machine.

Glad everyone is ok! I too am eagerly awaiting you coming in here and saying that you've already bought another Miata!
Best wishes and I hope everything gets sorted out
♪ Let's just drive, I wanna see what the wind does to your hair ♪

OP, hope you get things sorted and into a new car. Did she like it enough to get another one after a week with it? Maybe if you go back to the dealer and explain that she loved the car, if she did, but would like a slightly quieter cabin, they may give you a good deal since you would effectively be taking 2 cars off their lot in 2 weeks. That usually helps them look good on their monthly quota reports.
We don't want the car back, I dont think anyone would if it got wrecked to within an inch of its life 500 miles into ownership.

The Nintendo Wii U is a gaming console having a number of cute games for the whole family to enjoy.
In today's article, we are going to talk about Pikmin 3. Pikmin 3 is the 3rd installment of the popular Pikmin series. Its predecessor, Pikmin 2, was released many years ago (2004) and Pikmin 3 was delayed and delayed until it was finally released in 2013.
Originally made for the Nintendo Wii, Nintendo claims that it would be better off to be released in the Nintendo Wii U to enjoy the new graphics engine and better controls.
The story is about 3 cute characters namely Alph, Brittany, and Charlie. They are from the planet Koppai and their planet is dying because of famine. They are to set forth on a planet with lush vegetation and they should go home with seeds so that they can restore Koppai to its former glory.
The game then focuses on the planet "PNF-404". Upon arrival in the atmosphere of the said planet, the ship that the three Koppaite explorers called the "SS Drake" suddenly malfunctioned, hurling all three of them in separate directions.
In the first parts of the game, the story will be more focused on Alph. When Alph awakens, he will be greeted by the friendly Pikmin. The Pikmin are inhabitants of this planet and they are vital to the game's progression.
The Pikmin that discovered Alph then reunites him with his fellow Koppaites, Brittany and Charlie. Both of them have their own Pikmin friends with them too!
Alph later finds out that an important piece of the SS Drake, the Cosmic Drive Key, was lost during the crash. It was believed that a character named Louie took possession of it. Louie was the partner of Captain Olimar, the main protagonist of the first two Pikmin games. After saving Louie a number of times, Louie always attempts to bring with him the food that the three main characters have gathered.
After getting Louie back, he confessed that the Cosmic Drive Key was actually taken by a creature known as the "Plasma Wraith".
The game's main antagonist is none other than the Plasma Wraith. After defeating the Plasma Wraith, Alph and his friends finally recovered the Cosmic Drive Key and went back to their home world.
The ending can be altered slightly. If the player chooses to not get any fruits or seeds, the narrator would say that Koppai is still in trouble. If the player decides to get some fruits during their journey, the narrator would state that Koppai is okay, but it needs more vegetation. And lastly, if the player decides to get all of the fruits, the narrator would say that Koppai is flourishing.
As for the gameplay, Pikmin 3 still uses the same in-game mechanics as that of its predecessors. Alpha and his friends will be accompanied by small creatures called "Pikmin". The Pikmin have different abilities depending on their type.
They can build bridges, collect spoils and speeds, and they can also help the three Koppaites in defeating enemies.
The game utilizes the Nintendo Wii U's gamepad really well and the controls are pretty easy and intuitive at the same time.
Although, this game only lasts a couple of hours, the gameplay is quite fun and a lot of people are really digging what this game has to offer.
The Pikmin 3 game for the Nintendo Wii U is a cute and enjoyable title.

A remorseful Andrew Hore says he let the nation down with his swinging arm challenge that knocked out Welsh lock Bradley Davies and that he deserves the five-week suspension with which he's been administered. Hore pleaded guilty to the charge of striking Davies in the first minute of the All Blacks' 33-10 victory in Cardiff last Sunday and was handed an eight-week suspension that was reduced to five on the grounds he has shown genuine remorse by apologising to Davies and his previously clean record.

WordPress 2.7 administration panel changes
I really, really liked the new style of administration panel that was introduced in WordPress 2.5. In all the time since I've upgraded (and increasingly with every update), I've started to like it more and more. I hadn't thought it possible but everything just felt at exactly the right place, while before 2.5, the whole always felt like it had been thrown together by a blind child. Had I written it myself, it would have at least felt as being thrown together by an adult (chimpanzee). Read More »

New theme
After upgrading to WordPress 2.5.x, I had to fall back on a stock theme because my old customization of the Sandbox theme no longer worked with the upgrade. But, then, it was time to redo my theme anyway. So here you're looking at the first version of my new theme. I might have let it stabilize some more before putting it on-line, but who cares? My reader maybe? Let's just hope he or she doesn't use IE. ;-) Read More »

Discipline of the Liturgy
I would like first to thank Father John and Father Edward for inviting me to participate in your western-rite conference. I have good memories of my visit, several years ago, to your conference in Washington DC. I regret that my health constrains my travels these days, and so, though my spirit is willing, my flesh must remain behind here in New York.
But I very much wanted to support the work of your conference, so Father John and I agreed that I would write to you all on the topic he gave me: The Discipline of the Liturgy. This is that paper -- my Epistle to the Antiochians -- and it is meant to be pastoral rather than scholarly in its approach to that formidable-sounding topic: The Discipline of the Liturgy.
I call it formidable because that described my first reaction to it, though I agreed at once to do it. I have subsequently found, in mentioning it to others, that the topic seemed less than warm and inviting. And yet I trusted in Father John's wisdom in selecting the topic, and I am glad I did.
I believe it is that word "discipline" that is the culprit. In our day and age discipline often suggests either excessive control or excessive punishment. Its primary neutral use is in references to academic disciplines; no one finds that use formidable. But to discover how discipline relates to liturgy -- and indeed has a profound pastoral dimension -- we need to go back a bit to the early years of the church. I remember being told by my Latin professor in seminary that the Latin word for learning was disciplina. And remembering this led me to an interesting insight; namely, the profound difference between the knowledge that comes from education, and the very different knowledge that comes from disciplina. For example, in learning about Christianity, one can become a real student of Christianity. That is the end and purpose of such education. But discipline – disciplina -- has a higher and greater aim: not to produce a student of Christianity, but a disciple of Christ. The purpose and end of discipline, in its proper sense, is to form disciples. And notice the difference here. One might be a student of Christianity; but we would never talk about a disciple of Christianity. One can only be the disciple of a person. The true purpose and end of the discipline of the liturgy is the Person of Christ himself.
The liturgy may well educate, but that is a by-product. The liturgy's primary goal is to draw us ever deeper into the mystery of Christ offering himself in an act of supreme love and inviting us into this flaming mystery. That is the true discipline of the liturgy -- to transform us in that blazing mystery into true disciples of Christ.
This connection between discipline, discipleship, and mystery was clearer in the ancient church, and has left its mark on the liturgies and rites we use today. Though the term disciplina arcane -- the discipline of the secret -- is late Latin, it was used to describe one of the culminating steps of becoming a disciple through catechesis and baptism in the early church. In this unfolding progress, various doctrines would be revealed and explained. But the final mysteries were withheld from the catechumen until the last moment. Previous to this moment, all the candidate would have been permitted to know of the Lord's Prayer was the opening two words. The prayer, being reserved only to full disciples, was recited secretly. Admission to this secret was one of the culminating steps of discipleship -- and so it became known as disciplina arcane. We see a remnant of this even today in the offices when, after the priest's intoning "Our Father", the prayer is continued silently until the end. Of course, the prayer itself is no longer a secret, but the church wishes to remind us that, as disciples, we are approaching a profound mystery, veiled from ordinary sight, and infused with awe and stupendous power.
And of course, similar to the discipline of the secret, and still very much a part of our western Mass, is the often overlooked division of the Mass into the Mass of the Catechumens and the Mass of the Faithful -- labels that clearly indicate that the Mass of the Faithful (the Eucharist proper) was not to be seen by a catechumen until one had become a full disciple.
The Mass of the Faithful is the heart of the great mystery, yet how often do we breeze through it as if it were, at its heart, no different from the more didactic Mass of the Catechumens. Indeed, there is something to be learned in the Mass of the Faithful; but it is a learning that is a disciplina -- an entering not into knowledge about Christ, but true knowing of him as a Person, a learning that deepens one's discipleship, making us ever more truly his disciples, leading us ever more deeply into the mystery that is God's inner being and infinite love.
Mystery tends to make us uncomfortable, for it brings us into a presence and state of being where all our controls abandon us, leaving us disarmed and utterly vulnerable. All the petty defenses and fortifications we have built are stripped away. All our half-hearted and lukewarm attempts at virtue are seen for what they really are. And we know, with a terrible knowing, that we stand before God naked and empty-handed, stripped of any pretense or illusions of personal holiness or virtue. This would be a moment of utter and supreme despair if it were not for the fact that this moment also brings the disciple into the presence of unfathomable love and infinite mercy.
That is the knowledge -- the learning -- that disciplina seeks. It is a knowledge that cannot be explained or contained in words. Words can bring us only to the edge of mystery. Rituals and symbols too can assist us in the journey toward mystery; but they too bring us only to the edge of the mystery.
One of the occupational hazards of western-rite Orthodoxy is the sometimes inordinate effort it spends in discussing issues of rite, ceremony, and language. These are not unimportant, but they are not the Great Thing, the Mystery itself. And of course you can't discuss mystery; you can only encounter it and fall down in fear and love. So we chatter a lot about externals, but even a total and thorough expertise in matters liturgical does not necessarily bring us closer to the mystery.
Consider, if you will, a Chinese puzzle box. This is a small wooden box with highly intricate wood inlays on it. There is no obvious way to open the box, so one concentrates on carefully testing various inlays and panels. Some of them slide, some do not. Some will only slide if you have properly moved one or more panels in the right sequence. The object is, with much patience, to solve the puzzle and open the box. Box open, end of puzzle. If you like you can close up and start again, but the end will always be the same. This is the nature of a puzzle, and that can sometimes describe our approach to liturgy, and to the Mass. Fall into this frame of mind and you will tend to think of mystery (if you think of it at all) as just another puzzle, something that can finally be solved and conquered, or maybe just unintelligible and of no concern.
But consider now the same small wooden box, the same challenging procedure to open it. But now, when you open it and look inside, you find yourself gazing wide-eyed into a vast living galaxy of stars and planets. You solved the puzzle, but the real adventure -- the mystery -- has only just begun. And you are struck dumb and wordless at the vast mystery in your hand.
Need I point out the obvious parallel here to the consecrated bread and wine? This is true mystery, not an unintelligible puzzle, but an inexhaustibly intelligible reality. And it is the learning of this that is the purpose of the discipline of the liturgy. It is the knowing of this mystery that marks the true disciple of Christ.
While the mystery is itself ineffable, unconveyable by words and language, it is detectable by other means. Here the helpful insight comes from Rudolf Otto's phrase: mysterium tremendum et fascinans. Where the mystery is present, it will be both fearful and attractive, terrifying yet alluring. To be consciously in the presence of mystery is to experience profound fear and profound love at the same moment. We see this throughout the Old Testament. We see it in the scene of our Lord's transfiguration. When the mystery of Christ shines forth, the disciples say, "Lord, it is good for us to be here." And then they fall to the ground in stunned silence, trembling at the vision. This is the knowledge, the learning, that is the end and goal of disciplina.
One of the loveliest and most moving narratives about mystery and worship can be found in -- of all places! -- Kenneth Grahame's children's classic The Wind in the Willows. Here animals encounter their god in the form of the great faun Pan. But every detail of the experience resonates with our human hearts when they come into the presence of mystery-- the mystery of the Person of Christ. Fear and trembling mingle with unutterable love as the little creatures fall down in worship.
The setting is a dewy English morning on a quiet river. Two characters, Rat and Mole -- endowed with speech and reason like us -- are searching for Baby Otter, who has wandered off and is lost and may have come to some harm. Into this search enters an unexpected element -- a music so beautiful it haunts them and draws them to an unfamiliar island. There they will find Baby Otter, who with them, in their simplicity and innocence, will come to the disciplina of true worship and the mystery of holiness.
'It's gone!' sighed the Rat, sinking back in his seat again. 'So beautiful and strange and new. Since it was to end so soon, I almost wish I had never heard it. For it has roused a longing in me that is pain, and nothing seems worth while but just to hear that sound once more and go on listening to it for ever. No! There it is again!' he cried, alert once more. Entranced, he was silent for a long space, spellbound.
'Now it passes on and I begin to lose it,' he said presently. 'O Mole! the beauty of it! The merry bubble and joy, the thin, clear, happy call of the distant piping! Such music I never dreamed of, and the call in it is stronger even than the music is sweet! Row on, Mole, row! For the music and the call must be for us.'
The Mole, greatly wondering, obeyed. 'I hear nothing myself,' he said, 'but the wind playing in the reeds and rushes and osiers.'
The Rat never answered, if indeed he heard. Rapt, transported, trembling, he was possessed in all his senses by this new divine thing that caught up his helpless soul and swung and dandled it, a powerless but happy infant in a strong sustaining grasp.
In silence Mole rowed steadily, and soon they came to a point where the river divided, a long backwater branching off to one side. With a slight movement of his head Rat, who had long dropped the rudder-lines, directed the rower to take the backwater. The creeping tide of light gained and gained, and now they could see the colour of the flowers that gemmed the water's edge.
'Clearer and nearer still,' cried the Rat joyously. 'Now you must surely hear it! Ah—at last—I see you do!'
Breathless and transfixed the Mole stopped rowing as the liquid run of that glad piping broke on him like a wave, caught him up, and possessed him utterly. He saw the tears on his comrade's cheeks, and bowed his head and understood. For a space they hung there, brushed by the purple loose-strife that fringed the bank; then the clear imperious summons that marched hand-in-hand with the intoxicating melody imposed its will on Mole, and mechanically he bent to his oars again. And the light grew steadily stronger, but no birds sang as they were wont to do at the approach of dawn; and but for the heavenly music all was marvellously still.
On either side of them, as they glided onwards, the rich meadow-grass seemed that morning of a freshness and a greenness unsurpassable. Never had they noticed the roses so vivid, the willow-herb so riotous, the meadow-sweet so odorous and pervading. Then the murmur of the approaching weir began to hold the air, and they felt a consciousness that they were nearing the end, whatever it might be, that surely awaited their expedition.
A wide half-circle of foam and glinting lights and shining shoulders of green water, the great weir closed the backwater from bank to bank, troubled all the quiet surface with twirling eddies and floating foam-streaks, and deadened all other sounds with its solemn and soothing rumble. In midmost of the stream, embraced in the weir's shimmering arm-spread, a small island lay anchored, fringed close with willow and silver birch and alder. Reserved, shy, but full of significance, it hid whatever it might hold behind a veil, keeping it till the hour should come, and, with the hour, those who were called and chosen.
Slowly, but with no doubt or hesitation whatever, and in something of a solemn expectancy, the two animals passed through the broken tumultuous water and moored their boat at the flowery margin of the island. In silence they landed, and pushed through the blossom and scented herbage and undergrowth that led up to the level ground, till they stood on a little lawn of a marvellous green, set round with Nature's own orchard-trees—crab-apple, wild cherry, and sloe.
'This is the place of my song-dream, the place the music played to me,' whispered the Rat, as if in a trance. 'Here, in this holy place, here if anywhere, surely we shall find Him!'
Then suddenly the Mole felt a great Awe fall upon him, an awe that turned his muscles to water, bowed his head, and rooted his feet to the ground. It was no panic terror—indeed he felt wonderfully at peace and happy—but it was an awe that smote and held him and, without seeing, he knew it could only mean that some august Presence was very, very near. With difficulty he turned to look for his friend and saw him at his side cowed, stricken, and trembling violently. And still there was utter silence in the populous bird-haunted branches around them; and still the light grew and grew.
Perhaps he would never have dared to raise his eyes, but that, though the piping was now hushed, the call and the summons seemed still dominant and imperious. He might not refuse, were Death himself waiting to strike him instantly, once he had looked with mortal eye on things rightly kept hidden. Trembling he obeyed, and raised his humble head; and then, in that utter clearness of the imminent dawn, while Nature, flushed with fullness of incredible colour, seemed to hold her breath for the event, he looked in the very eyes of the Friend and Helper; saw the backward sweep of the curved horns, gleaming in the growing daylight; saw the stern, hooked nose between the kindly eyes that were looking down on them humourously, while the bearded mouth broke into a half-smile at the corners; saw the rippling muscles on the arm that lay across the broad chest, the long supple hand still holding the pan-pipes only just fallen away from the parted lips; saw the splendid curves of the shaggy limbs disposed in majestic ease on the sward; saw, last of all, nestling between his very hooves, sleeping soundly in entire peace and contentment, the little, round, podgy, childish form of the baby otter. All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered.
'Rat!' he found breath to whisper, shaking. 'Are you afraid?'
'Afraid?' murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love. 'Afraid! Of HIM? O, never, never! And yet—and yet—O, Mole, I am afraid!'
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.
They have found not only Baby Otter -- utterly safe and asleep at their god's feet -- but also the learning that is the true disciplina, and it is an utterly appropriate response to the presence of God, full of awesome fear and unutterable love.
One can only wonder how often our own liturgies bring us to so hallowed a vision and so powerful a discipleship.
The discipline of the liturgy is not primarily to instruct us about Christ -- though of course it can teach us many things. But the ultimate goal is to bring us into the burning presence of the Mystery -- the inexhaustible presence of Christ himself, truly alive and present at the heart of our liturgy. There he awaits our surrender to him, the laying aside of all our petty defenses. There he awaits us, ready -- if we let him -- to break our hearts. "Thou delightest not in burnt-offerings...the sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit...a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt thou not despise." Christ stands ready, at the heart of the liturgy, to change and transfigure us, to make us like himself. And that, surely, is the proper goal of anyone who seeks to be his true disciple.

Having one of these convictions on your licence doesn't necessarily mean you can't get car insurance It just means you need to compare what's out there to make sure you're getting a deal that meets your needs and isn't too heavy on your bank balance You will usually be asked to declare any unspent convictions on your car insurance applications for five years After this time, or if your convictions are already spent, you will not have to tell your insurer You are not under any obligation to declare your convictions if an insurer doesn't ask during the application process or in the terms and conditions of the policy.

for car insurance, from 995 reviews left by Gocomparecom customers (as at January, 2016) Some insurers will send their premiums through the roof if you've had a criminal conviction recorded against you That's if you're lucky – they may well not insure you at all.
We know that your past is not necessarily a guide to the future And as experts in finding cover for all types of specialist and unusual situations, our quotes department can arrange low cost, high quality insurance cover for your car or home, whatever your history Our sales staff are insurance experts, not just button pushers and because of this, as well as our tailor-made schemes, we believe we offer the best quotation service around We act as coverholders with underwriting authority to set rates and apply terms to meet with your demands and needs Most online insurance services provide automatic, instant quotations using a computer program; no real people are involved at all This is fine if you are what is called a "standard risk" but if you have a criminal record, are a convicted motorist, have filed for bankruptcy or have an IVA , it can be difficult obtaining Not all providers offer car insurance if you have a criminal conviction so compare multiple brands.
Having any kind of criminal conviction can make it difficult to get – even if you do find cover, car insurance for convicted drivers is often much more expensive than for those without convictions Even if you were convicted of a minor offence that doesn't have any bearing on your driving, many insurers simply won't provide cover The reason for this is criminally convicted drivers are statistically more likely to be involved in accidents and make claims, and therefore are sometimes considered too high-risk to insure However, some insurers will provide cover, but only if your conviction has no relation to driving offences.
If you can't find cover from a conventional insurer, then there are specialist insurance companies who specialise in providing car insurance for convicted drivers, but premiums will be expensive Remember that, however difficult you might find it to get cover, and whatever price you are quoted, car insurance is compulsory Not only is it illegal to drive without cover, but your car must be insured at all times Under Continuous Insurance Enforcement (CIE) rules which took effect in June 2011, unless you have completed a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) and registered your vehicle as being off the road with the DVLA it must be insured Failure to have a car insurance policy in place could result in a fine of up to £1,000 When obtaining car insurance quotes, you only need to be upfront about any convictions if they are 'unspent'.So, for example, if you were given a fine or community service, your conviction is spent after five years After this, you don't have to declare it to insurers If your prison sentence is six months or less, then it won't be spent for seven years, increasing to 10 years for sentences between six months and two and a half years Sentences of two and a half years or more are never spent, which means you always have to disclose them to an insurance company Remember, even though it could reduce your options when it comes to buying cover, never be tempted not to disclose any convictions.
For more serious driving offences (such as drink driving — various codes DR10-DR90) you could be temporarily disqualified from driving You may also be disqualified if you accumulate 12 points on your licence within three years (or six points within two years of getting your licence).

Don't own RENT.
Mark didn't know why he didn't know why he did it, but every day he put whatever loose change he could find into a jar. On a good day he could manage a couple dollars, while on bad days it coulbe as little as a few pennies. Nonetheless he had odne it since high school and as long as he could afford Roger's AZT h never touched it. And now since Mimi and Roger could both afford their own AZT he could add more a day in his little stash. Now he just needed to find a way to spend it.
Roger didn't notice the small flicker of excitement that went across Mark's face when he told Mark that Mimi was pregnant. But he did notice the anger on Mark's face when they told him they were going to try and put the baby up for adoption. And he noticed Mark's diappointment when they told him Mimi was having twins. Roger din't notice the amount of phone calls Mark began making or the longer hours he spent away from the loft. He didn't see anything odd in it, nothing to notice. However, he and Mimi were all to aware that two weeks before the babies were due, they came home from talking the adoption agency, and Mark was nowhere in sight of the loft...and neither was his stuff.
So, here's the prologue...I hope you enjoyed the next chapter will be up tomorrow...hopefully as I go along with this story...my other stories will grab some inspirations.
Any questions just ask.
Until next time, this is me...signing out.

How's the month going for you thus far? Remember, this is a preview of 2014 for you. If it's a bit stressful...what is the cause? What can you do to make it less stressful and therefore be prepared for what may come? No....what can YOU do for yourself?
- Pay more attention to your needs?
- Take more time to relax and not work 24/7?
- Go to work?
- Say "No?"
- Stop trying to change that which can not be changed?
- Be more accepting?
- Stop fighting?
The list goes on and on. Just a reminder that we have to be the participant and creator in our lives.
Which leads me to today. 9 is the number of the humanitarian. So often we find those with Life Paths of 9 in the areas of counseling and therapy, doctors and nurses, and philanthropists and humanitarians. The giving of oneself. 7 tells me that we may also delve into the areas of psychiatry, psychology, philosophy, religions, and belief systems.
So it will not be unusual that we're looking at where we're going and what is best for us today. We're already beginning so say, "What is best for me?" Where can I go from here to create the best life possible? And of course, the keyword is "I".
So often, we look outside ourselves - "Well if So-n-So would just..." It has nothing to do with So-n-So. If we want change, we have to begin with us. And this is a good vibration to analyze our own path in life. What is best for me? It can be used with relationships, working environment, home environment, or as simple as the room you plan to hang out in during the winter.
What would be the best plan for my life?

Thy Kingdom Come Taizé Service
Thy Kingdom Come: a special service of Taizé prayer
Wednesday 31st May at 6.00 pm
'Thy Kingdom Come' is a global prayer movement which invites Christians around the world to pray between Ascension and Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus Christ. What started out in 2016 as an invitation from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to the Church of England has grown into an international and ecumenical call to prayer.
On Wednesday 31st May, during a special service of Taizé prayer, we will join with thousands of others in praying for the empowering of the Holy Spirit so that more people may discover a living faith. In doing this, we will also be praying that God's kingdom will come on earth. As the Archbishop of Canterbury has put it, by praying 'Thy Kingdom Come' we commit to playing our part in the renewal of the nations and the transformation of communities.

- Genre: Action| Comedy| Fantasy| Shounen|
- Plot: From MangaHelpers:
Aster and Yuno were abandoned together at the same church, and have been inseparable since. As children, they promised that they would compete against each other to see who would become the next sorcerous emperor. However, as they grew up, some differences between them became plain. Yuno was a genius with magic, with amazing power and control, while Aster could not use magic at all, and tried to make up for his lack by training physically. When they received their grimoires at age 15, Yuno got a spectacular book with a four-leaf-clover (most people receive a three-leaf-clover), while Aster received nothing at all. However, when Yuno was threatened, the truth about Aster's power was revealed-- he received a five-leaf-clover grimoire, a 'black clover' book of anti-magic. Now the two friends are heading out in the world, both seeking the same goal!

Axial Vector Energy Corp. (AXVC.PK) Chairman to Deliver Keynote Speech at the International Green Money Conference
Axial Vector Energy Corporation today announced that the company has been invited to present one of the keynote speeches at the International Green Money Conference on November 12-15, 2009 in Moura, Portugal. Mr. Samuel Higgins, AVEC Chairman, will be delivering a formal address to the worldwide delegations.
According to the press release, this event is going to be the first summit that gathers the largest companies in the world that produce green products, recycling services, and sustainable processes. Environmental Networking Group and International Green Summit Inc., who have been fundamental in putting together green projects along with funding around the world, are conference organizers. The conference will be comprised of keynote speakers, a 10-person panel of international scientist, investors, educational workshops, networking events and collaborative seminars. The objective is to network investors, political leaders, and innovators of tomorrow's technology to unify financial solutions for a greener tomorrow.
Mr. Michael Padurano, founder of the International Green Summit, stated, "The entire world has awareness now of the importance of our environment and lowering energy cost simultaneously while creating new clean energy sources. AVEC is uniquely in the position of doing it all and we are pleased to present all of these to the world in Portugal this November 12th to 15th."
FOX News recently aired AVEC on their Global News Group Program "Special Edition TV," with Ms. Ileana Bravo interviewing representatives from AVEC at their first United States based live demonstration of the "axial flux" and GENSET technology power generating system.
Ms. Bravo commented, "The fact that this engine runs on bio-based oil as fuel is significant in several ways. Palm oils that are totally renewable fuel sources can be harvested from our earth's equatorial regions providing needed jobs and social development. Developing countries in these regions can now enter the world economic stage as a viable and important player. The environmental impact of using palm oil as a fuel source is minimal, and this fuel source is one that you can literally drink. That is amazing." To view the video, please visit www.axialvectorenergy.com.
Mr. Samuel Higgins, AVEC Chairman of the Board of Directors, added, "We are scheduled to introduce our new products and partners of commercialization for our existing products at this conference and in order to have this prestigious platform to do so."
Let us hear your thoughts: Axial Vector Energy Corp. Message Board

Money doesn't buy happiness... but food just mightBy newseditor on Wednesday, November 13, 2013
"If you haven't begun to do something for some else, then think about it as it's a ripple effect." This is the message to Australia from Ronni Kahn[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronni_Kahn], founder of OzHarvest who spoke at a Women's Business Network event hosted by Lander & Rogers this week.
NSW Planning System - the Bill is in the houseBy newseditor on Thursday, November 21, 2013
"We've read the Green & White Papers and there has been much discussion about the proposed new planning system for NSW. Now that the draft legislation is in Parliament, it is important to understand the real effect the proposed changes will have in key areas of the planning system."

"Sparking" employees out of bad habitsBy newseditor on Thursday, November 21, 2013
In today's ever-changing world, organisations which thrive are those that view change as an opportunity to leverage their talent, leadership and the power of their teams. However, change can also present challenges for an organisation and its people - meaning the opportunity is not always fully capitalised on.

Right now I have compassion for all those who feel deep disappointment about their life. Maybe you find yourself in a place you never imagined you'd be. Maybe you're thinking, "Why me?" "How did I get HERE?!" "What happened?" Maybe you feel you've disappointed others. Maybe it's mainly that you've disappointed yourself. That's a very painful place to be, I know. I'm sorry you are feeling this.
The human journey is not for the faint of heart. No one knows your story fully. No one knows fully what it's like to be you. No one has ever or could ever walk in your shoes. No one has the right to judge. No one can see what's inside you. You're still standing, aren't you? To me, that makes you a hero. And guess what? You have 100% of the rest of your life left.
Consider this Day One of the rest of your life. This is about who you are inside. The world needs people who go through hell and don't give up. Right now there are people looking for someone just like you – someone who has felt all that pain and disappointment but is still putting one foot in front of the other. Look, we all ask the "Why me?" question, and can feel like we've made a mess of our lives. Welcome to the club called Being Human.
We ALL screw up. What we need are people who don't give up.
That's you.

Working Groups
The GCNC has currently eight working groups, that aim to provide a forum where cross-sector and cross-industry representatives and other stakeholders can discuss, collaborate, and innovate on the most pressing social, environmental, and economic challenges in Canada and globally. All working groups are chaired by senior business leaders.
Long-termism vs. Short-termism: Understanding Long-Term Company Value
The focus of this working group is to discuss and define what it would take to shift to long-term thinking, the long-term value of a company, and if and how a shift to long-term thinking will benefit business, investors, pension plans etc. This Working Group is led by John Coyne, Vice President of Legal and External Affairs at Unilever Canada, and Norm Cote, Vice President of Client Services at Optimum Talent.
Participating Companies: Optimum Talent, Unilever Canada, Rowe School of Business, University of Guelph (College of Management and Economics), Teck Resources, Save the Children, Native American Resource Partners, BMO, Corporate Knights, and KPMG.
In a World of Transparency: How to Communicate the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The focus of this working group is to discuss and explore the responsibility of a company to communicate all aspects of its business. Most often, reporting focuses on highlighting the positives; however, this group builds upon this by discussing how business can also communicate not only the good but also the bad and utilize it as a point of improvement. This Working Group is led by Geoff de Bruijn, Vice President of Corporate Services and Sustainability at TELUS.
Participating Companies: Bell Canada, Enbridge, Scotiabank, TELUS, Barrick Gold, Teck Resources, Suncor, BMO.
Embedding the Ten Principles into the Supply Chain/Value Chain
Drawing upon the plethora of initiatives, codes, standards and tools developed in recent years, this Working Group was created to discuss and explore the responsibility of a company to consider and integrate the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact into their supply chain and value chain management.

This working group is led by Jonathan Drimmer, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel at Barrick Gold Corp.

Participating Companies: Bell Canada, Hudson's Bay Company, Enbridge, Scotiabank, Brock University (Department of Accounting), Native American Resource Partners, KPMG.
Developing KPI's for the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights
This working group put together a document, "Assurance of the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights". The purpose of this document is to assist with the assurance of the Voluntary Principles (VPs), the most widely adopted and respected set of security and human rights standards worldwide, and ensuring that these are being implemented in a manner consistent with the initiative. The Working Group led by Johnathan Drimmer, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel of Barrick Gold Corp will continue in 2016 in a broader way.
Participating Company: SNC Lavalin, O'Trade, Hudbay Minerals, EDC, Pacific Rubiales, Kinross Gold, Barrick Gold, Gabriel Resources, Goldcorp, Partnership Africa, Sherritt, Mining Association of Canada, Native American Resource Partners, Rio Tinto.

Retirement Planning
Top 5 Things to Consider for Where to Live
Presented by: Mel Coker, Realtor®
Columbia, Northeast Columbia, Irmo, Chapin, Lexington, Lake Murray
About Mel Coker | Contact Mel
Ready for Retirement? Ready to move?
Mel's TOP FIVE things to consider when making decisions about where to live after retirement...
Housing Availability and Cost
City life? Retire to a farm or rural area? Retirement communities? Cost of Real Estate? You will want to make sure the area that you are considering has the type of housing available that you prefer and that prices are reasonable or in the range that you wish to spend.
Choices... Columbia is a fairly large real estate market and includes the downtown area, Northeast Columbia, Lexington, Irmo, Chapin and Lake Murray areas. Many retirees choose one of the many "patio" home communities (small lots and with typically singles, young couples with no children and retirees). Columbia has a very limited selection of senior citizen only communities. There are a wide range of choices for homes and subdivisions. Prices are very reasonable compared to most other areas and national and regional averages. The average home price in Columbia is $154,524 (as of March 15, 2014).

Lifestyle & Area Amenities
What do you want to do in retirement? Totally take it easy? Volunteer work? Fishing? Continuing education? Get involved or more involved in a church? Your lifestyle should be an important factor when deciding where to live after retirement.
You will have plenty "to do" in the Greater Columbia area. We have very nice city, regional and state parks in and around Columbia. Churches, hospitals and other organizations offer options for volunteer work. Lake Murray offers wonderful boating and fishing. The University of South Carolina and Midlands Techical College offer opportunites for all kinds of continuing education and special interest classes. Want to get more fit or stay fit? Columbia has a number of private gyms and community recreational centers and programs. The University of South Carolina Gamecocks teams offer exciting sports action. Columbia offers more... Riverbanks is one of America's top zoos; World class State of South Carolina museum; City of Columbia art museum.
The Columbia area is also close to the mountains of upstate South Carolina and North Carolina. And, we're close to several very nice beach areas including Myrtle Beach (3 hours), Hilton Head Island (2 1/2 hours) and Charleston (1 1/2 hours). Retirement should be fun and exciting!
Columbia, SC | Lake Murray
Taxes & Cost of Living
All areas have some sort of taxes you will be paying after retirement. You will need to consider income taxes, tax breaks, real estate taxes, sales taxes, county taxes. What is the overall "cost of living" in an area that you are considering. Consider especially energy and food costs.
Real estate taxes in South Carolina and the Columbia area are more reasonable than many areas of the United States. Tax legislation passed in 2006 and implemented in 2007 lowered homeowner taxes approximately 50%. The state sales tax rate was raised to 6% from 5% and all additional revenue is designated to lower owner occupied real estate taxes. In a typical situation, taxes for a residential home would be about .50% to .65% of the market value of a home. As an example, a $200,000 home would have an approximage tax bill of $1,000 to $1,300 (taxes vary depending on actual assessment and millage rates by area). If you are 65 or older, totally disabled or legally blind and have lived in South Carolina for at least one year, you may qualify for the homestead exemption. The homestead exemption excludes the first $50,000 from the fair market value of you legal residence. Personal property tax is collected annually on motor vehicles, recreational vehicles, watercraft (includes boats, wave runners, jet skis, etc.) and airplanes. These items are typically depreciated over time resulting in possibly lower taxes.
South Carolina has a simplified income tax structure which follows the federal income tax laws. South Carolina accepts the adjustments, exemptions and deductions allowed on your federal tax return with few modifications. South Carolina does not tax Social Security benefits. Individual income tax rates range from 3% to a top rate of 7% on taxable income (starting at app. $2630 of taxable income). Beginning with the first year you receive qualified retirement income and until you reach age 65, you can take a deduction of up to $3,000. If both spouses receive retirement income, each spouse is entitled to an individual deduction. All residents at age 65 are eligible for a deduction of up to $15,000. Other individual income tax deductions and credits may lower your South Carolina tax liability. There is NO state sales tax on unprepared food items.

Health Care
Availability and convenience of health care providers and hospitals may be an important consideration when choosing an area to relocate to for retirement. If you have an existing health condition, you will want to make sure that there is are health care facilites and physician who can take care of your needs.
Columbia has a significant medical community and wide offering of health care facilities. There are downtown hospitals and other smaller hospitals and emergency care facilities in outlying areas. Major hospitals in the Columbia area include: Palmetto Health Baptist, Palmetto Health Richland, Lexington Medical Center, Sisters of Charity Providence Hospital, Wm. Jennings Bryan Dorn VA Medical Center, and Moncrief Army Community Hospital. Columbia also has South Carolina's only freestanding hospital dedicated solely to heart care.
Columbia Hosptials
You should enjoy more outdoor time in retirement, so make sure you choose a place where the climate will make you feel good!
Columbia has pleasant weather year-round. We also have seasonal change, but, snow is relatively rare. Our city is far enough inland, where the very occasional South Carolina hurricane impact will have little to no effects. Minimum average temperatures range from 33 to 70 degrees and maximum average temperatures range from 56 to 92 degrees. Monthly rainfall averages from 2.6 to 5.5 inches. Columbia Weather
