It is an endearing piece, of solid oak, with a wide body and an enchanting central mirror. The top has a very wide, staggered crown molding. There are two "columns" on either side of the door, with a carved design of flutes and leaves. The door has two carved corners above the mirror featuring flowers and leaves. The mirror is set into a framed molding. It has a wide (3/4") bevel and reflects beautifully. The two front feet are typical of larger pieces, turned in a round fashion in two tones. The back two feet are plain as is also typical of larger pieces. There is a working lock and key. There is one shelf in the interior. There are two hooks on the back for hanging.
It survives in very good antique condition. The left side has had an old repair (see photo) to the flat wooden panel but this is well done on noticeable only if you are looking for it. There are the normal separations at the back feet with old repair an a lengthwise separation on the left side panel as is typical with age. The door has been reinforced with an extra back panel. The corners of the molding have slight chipping as is typical with age and use. It measures:16 1/2" tall, 5 1/2" deep, 12 1/2" wide at bottom molding, 13 1/4" wide at crown molding, it measures 4 7/8" deep, 6 3/4" from the top of the cabinet to the top of the shelf, 6 1/2" from the shelf bottom to bottom of inside case.

Target: Brian Brown, CEO of National Organization of Marriage
Goal: Stop the unconstitutional fight against same-sex marriage.
The National Organization for Marriage is a religious non-profit group working tirelessly against the legalization of marriage equality in the United States. It formed specifically in 2007 to promote Proposition 8, which eventually passed and overturned California's Supreme Court Ruling that states same-sex couples have a right to marry. NOM's most recent newsletter defines marriage as "love, commitment, permanence, exclusivity, faithfulness between a man and woman who vow to be there for one another, and for their children." Same sex couples possess all of these qualities and to a seemingly higher standard than opposite sex couples. Their sincere and fearless fight for equality and acceptance validates the sentiment.
Brian Brown, NOM's CEO, consistently slanders same-sex couples and was recently quoted complaining about a "wealthy gay marriage lobby," while Brown was paid over $500,000 by NOM in 2012. Recent readings show 50% of marriages end in divorce. If NOM truly cared about the "sanctity" of marriage it would focus their time, energy and money on educating the public about what marriage should be, not who should be allowed to participate.
The group dismisses the comparison of its campaign to 1960s bans of interracial marriage, even though both arguments are juvenile and arbitrary. Without religion in NOM's argument, there is no argument. Seemingly swept under the radar, the First Amendment's Establishment Clause clearly explains separation of church and state. Thomas Jefferson explained the intent of the clause being to erect a wall of separation between the two. Freedom of religion and its practices are widely welcomed and accepted in American culture, but the line where religion's hand crosses into politics is a blurred and sometimes nonexistent one. Petition this special interest group to uphold the sanctity of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and keep biblical based opinions out of American politics.
Dear Brian Brown,
The freedom to choose and practice religion is one of the many alluring and magnificent things about the United States of America. The Constitution backs this freedom, yet subsequently also backs the Establishment Clause within the First Amendment. This clause upholds what Thomas Jefferson noted as "erecting a wall between church and state." NOM's website and blog are equally rife with political and religious sentiments that are often posed side-by-side.
NOM's trademark argument against marriage equality is a simple one: "love…between a man and a woman who vow to be there for one another, and their children." The religious collective often argues children should and need to be raised in two-parent homes. There are over two million same-sex couples who are willing to adopt worldwide, care for and love a parent-less child. With over 150,000 orphans in the US, this seems like a problem solver in itself. While there are exactly zero studies proving same-sex couples are incapable of raising children, there is a plethora of research proving they are more likely to provide even better care than same sex couples. While there is sanctity in marriage, according to the Constitution there is also sanctity in upholding the basic human right to happiness and love. Next time you are lobbying Congress, remember and abide by the Constitution, its Amendments and the fact there is a legal wall between the church and the people's state.

Dublin-based Leinster are one of four Irish professional sides competing in Europe's premier competitions, and have become one of the true power-houses of northern hemisphere rugby. Based at the 18,500 seater RDS Arena they also use the Aviva Stadium on occasion, with its 51,700 capacity allowing them greater scope to host important matches.
While the original uniform of Leinster Rugby sides was predominantly green the side now plays in a kit that is blue and gold and features a logo in the shape of a harp. The side has it's origins in 1875, when the four provincial unions of Ireland first competed against one another. The club was originally known as the 'Leinster Lions' during its early days as a professional entity, and while the name has since been shortened Leo the Lion has remained as the club mascot.
In recent years Leinster has reigned supreme both locally and in the wider European-based competitions, snaring the Heineken Cup title in 2009, 2011 and 2012 and finishing first or second in the Celtic League/Pro12 competition on 6 occasions since 2002.
From a list of esteemed players none stand out more than Brian O'Driscoll, the player regarded as one of Irish Rugby's best of all time, and a man whose loyalty to the club has never been questioned. Leinster has also hosted some notable foreigners in their time, including All Black Brad Thorn, Wallabies' loose forwards Rocky Elsom and Owen Finegan, and gigantic South African prop Ollie Le Roux.

DTvip is the strand of DIGITAL TUESDAYS which supports VIPs (visually impaired people) to learn to use digital technologies. It is also the inspiration for the LIBRARIES FOR EVERYONE accessible-by-default model for public libraries.
How do you use the free computers, books and other printed information in public libraries if you have low vision or dyslexia? LIBRARIES FOR EVERYONE makes it possible for people with low vision or print impairment to use the library computers to access the internet and use online services. It also makes it possible to access printed books, newspapers and documents using the Advanced Reading Technology devices which have been installed in the library. These devices, which are very easy to use, enable any printed information to be read aloud or greatly magnified onto a TV screen. LIBRARIES FOR EVERYONE aims to get these technologies into libraries across the UK, not just in Lambeth.
In 2014 we worked with Lambeth Libraries and Archives to install high visibility keyboards on all public computers at Tate South Lambeth Library. These are so popular with general library users that by 2015 the new keyboards have been installed as standard in all 10 Lambeth Libraries, starting with the refurbished Streatham Tate and Waterloo. As well as a standard QWERTY layout, the keyboards have a row of tactile keys at the top which allow one-touch access to the speech and magnification provided by the commercial Dolphin SuperNova software. Dolphin SuperNova can be accessed on all public computers in every Lambeth library.
We also show people how to use free screenreader programmes like the Thunder software, which reads aloud what is written on the screen. For some years, Thunder was installed on all public library computers in Lambeth but a recent IT upgrade means we can no longer use the Thunder programme, although individuals can still download this programme onto their own computers (links below). We are changing to another free to download screenreader called NVDA and are currently sorting out the logistics for how individual users can access this programme in all Lambeth libraries. For those who already have a computer at home, the free Thunder software can be downloaded from www.screenreader.net. Thunder can be copied to a USB stick, so once you have learned to use it you can carry it with you and and run it on any computer. You can use Thunder with the free text only web browser WebbIE, which converts web pages into text so they can be easily read by the screenreader. Here is the site to download WebbIE, www.webbie.org.uk.
In addition to the work with computers we have helped raised funds to buy easy-to-use Advanced Reading Technology like the Eye Pal Solo reading machine (OCR text-to-speech) which will read aloud any book or printed document/ newspaper, and the Cobolt TV mouse magnifier which plugs into any TV and allows you to magnify print straight onto the TV screen (kindly donated by ASSA – Albert Square and St Stephens Residents Association). This Advanced Reading Technology enables people with low vision or print impairments like dyslexia to read books, newspapers and documents in the library as well as use the computers.
DTvip training sessions have been running weekly at Tate South Lambeth Library since 2011. The drop-in sessions are every Tuesday morning from 10 to 12 with breaks at Christmas and Easter. You will need to ring the doorbell as the library is closed to the general public on Tuesdays.
TSL is at 180 South Lambeth Road, London SW8 1QP, halfway between Vauxhall and Stockwell tube stations. The number 88 and number 2 bus stop right outside at a stop called Tate Library. Tel: 0207 926 0705 More Information on the library is here: Tate South Lambeth Library
DTVIP sessions are now also running each week at Streatham Tate Library. The sessions at Streatham are held every Wednesday from 10 to 12. Just come along on Wednesday morning if you would like to join in.

Morey Plains
An endless plateau at 15000 feet is sight to behold. A 50 km stretch of gigantic football field surrounded by mountains.
Snow Capped Baralacha La
A high mountain pass located along Manali-Leh highway. The Baralacha La is better described as a plateau where three mountain ranges meet (Pir Panjal, Zanskar and the Himalayas). The Baralacha La towers over three valleys that meet at a height of over 16,000 ft.

Tuggeranong United was on the brink of collapse thanks to a dire financial position which almost forced the club to withdraw from the men's competition less than two years ago.
But as a group of tradies and public servants prepare for the biggest game of their lives, the club hopes to use the FFA Cup blockbuster against the Melbourne Victory to create a "legacy" for the future.
Tuggeranong will take on the A-League giants at Viking Park on Tuesday night in a monumental mismatch battle which pits part-timers who get "fuel money" payments against professionals with a salary cap of $2.55 million.
For the first time in the club's history, Tuggeranong's Premier League players were paid this season.
It's a remarkable turnaround for a club which was on the cusp of being cut from Canberra's top competition after failing to compete with cashed-up rivals.
An operations overall, and investing in their 1300-player base, has paid dividends as Tuggeranong prepares to be thrust into the national FFA Cup spotlight.
"We gave the club just two years - it was getting more expensive and we were coming from a really low place," said club president John Thiele.
"We're in a much better place now, but the job's not done. We're financial now ... this is the first year we've paid players, but really it's just fuel money and a bit of a gesture.
"We've spent about $35,000 to get this game going: it's a big event. We're hoping to reap a reasonable windfall and leave a legacy for the club in more ways than one."
Tuggeranong spends just $80,000 on its Premier League football operations and is a drop in the ocean compared to two-time A-League champions the Victory's budget.
But coach Steve Forshaw has declared the round of 16 FFA Cup contest the chance for his players to audition for an A-League contract, declaring Canberra the "secret garden" of Australian soccer.
Tuggeranong players will line-up against some of their idols, including former club junior and Socceroo Carl Valeri, in the match at Viking Park.
More than 3000 tickets have been sold and the game will be broadcast live on national television.
Forshaw backed young star Ethan Munster to shine in front of A-League scouts. Munster and older brother Zac will use the match to honour their father's memory after Mick Munster died suddenly three weeks ago.
"You never know who is watching the game ... performing on the day could be the key to opening the door to a bigger and brighter future," Forshaw said.
"It's a golden opportunity to put themselves in the shop window if they're ambitious enough.
"We're the best-kept secret in Australia, it's a sort of secret garden in terms of growing talent but it's not looked at because we don't have an A-League team."
Tuggeranong has bunkered down in a team camp, staying at the Alpha Hotel and embracing a semi-professional build up with a few days away from their regular jobs.
Most have written them off as a genuine contender against the all-star Victory line-up which boasts Socceroos and A-League champions.
But Forshaw said his team wouldn't be overawed by the occasion and were targeting an upset win.
"I haven't even tried to put a lid on the excitement," Forshaw said.
"Let the boys be excited, there's no need to put a dampener on it. They're not full-time professionals, but they know what's required.
"It certainly would be an upset, we accept that. But I've got a lot of faith in these guys, they're just as passionate [as the Victory] and they can play a bit. We understand the challenge is massive.
"The different between Melbourne Victory and Tuggeranong is significant, but there's no reason why we can't cause that upset. Melbourne won't know much about Tuggeranong at all."

For all the guys out there, who are either having trouble attracting women, or somebody who is looking for the reasons as to why he has not been able to attract women, here it is. You have to admit that you do not have all the tips in this case, as nobody does. Below we will provide you with a list of things which you can do in order to look better or more attractive to the opposite sex, and if you are doing anything contradictory to what is written below, then you know where you are going wrong;
- Look for the global signals of flirtation: Most men do not know when a woman is flirting with them, which then might be perceived as not being interested towards her advances. First the woman will smile at her admirer. She will lift her eyebrows in a quick motion as she widens her eyes to gaze at him. Then she will drop her eye lids; tilt her head downwards and to the side. She may also cover her face with her hands as she will be nervously giggling. This sequential gesture of flirting is so distinctive that the German ethologist Irenaus had been convinced that it is an innate human female courtship ploy which evolved long ago to signal interest.
- Look for someone in the same league as you: Simply put, men and women are attracted to people who may be as attractive as them. If you are going for someone who is somewhat equal to you in looks, then it will avoid two things. If they are going to be much better looking than you, you will always be worried that they may be unsatisfied by your looks and will go off to have affairs. If they are significantly less attractive than you, then you will be worried about yourself doing the same
- Represent yourself as being high status: Sociologist Glen Elder had found that the wealth and looks of any person will tend to find them another person i.e. good looking women who are willing to settle down with a less attractive man only if they are wealthy. In a study done in 2010, it was found that men who had been pictured next to a Silver Bentley Continental GT was deemed much more attractive than those men who were pictured next to a Red Ford Siesta ST. additionally a 2014 study found that the men pictured in a luxury apartment had been deemed more attractive than those in a control group
- Look older than you are: Psychologists tend to call it the George Clooney Effect, and justifiably too. A study conducted in 2010 found 3770 people which showed women do often prefer older aged men.as they have become more financially strong and independent, they will like the older guys even more. Psychologists have stated that the younger women and the older men can often be seen pairing up because fertility can only last from puberty to menopause in women, it starts at the time of puberty and can also extend long into the midlife for several men. And they have a greater opportunity to gather status and resources.
- Grow a light beard: While some may claim that the beard trend is over, some believe that it is not. In accordance to a 2013 study, the most attractive beard according to women is the heavy stubble, which can be seen after about 10 days of beard growth. Facial hair growth correlates or shows not only masculinity and maturity, but also associate with aggression and dominance. An intermediate level of beard is deemed most attractive. Plus it will only take a little bit of maintenance you will need to keep the 10 day beard constantly.
- Build a bit of muscle: A study done in 2007 at the University of California at Los Angeles had found that the women are most likely to have a short term relationship with a guy who has big muscles, or are fit. The sexual characteristics such as muscularity are the cues for genes which will increase offspring viability or the reproductive success.
- Be nice / kind: One of the most definite findings in psychology is the halo effect, which is a bias where you will take one aspect of somebody (unconsciously) as a proxy for the overall character. It is why it is thought that the beautiful people are good at what they do, even if they aren't. A study done in 2014 had found that those people who had positive personality traits such as honesty and kindness which had been rated as being more attractive than those who have a negative personality trait such as being mean or evil.
- Talk about your emotions: Contrary to what the ideal of the breadwinner being aloof might have been prior to the 21st century, now the women and men can openly talk about their feelings. When the men are vulnerable the women will find them to be more desirable sexually and emotionally. Being vulnerable will not hurt the masculinity of any men, but will instead to the opposite. Those men who are emotionally well rounded tend to be more desirable by the women and are also largely likely to be better long term partners as well as emotionally stable than those men who are all closed up and not willing to share the intimate parts of their lives.
- Wear the color red: A cross cultural study conducted in 2010, with participants from all over the world, have found that the women are most attracted to those men who are wearing red. Red colored clothes have been a symbol of status since the Roman times when the most powerful men who were called the coccinati, would b the ones who would wear red. The red color works for both men as well as women.

I enjoy learning and trying new things as much as possible and meeting new people.
I recently became a home owner, which has taken the good majority of my free time recently.
I'm not one to go to crowded bars til 2am, I enjoy relaxing and hanging out with friends more than elbowing my way through a crowd of "bros."
Ask me anything.

Nothing ages you like ... ugly orthopedic shoes ... wearing gym sneakers outside the gym ... boring classic pumps ... shoes you can't walk in ... out-of-style shoes ... sensible shoes.
Most women love shoes. Like handbags and makeup, they are the candy of our wardrobes. But unlike designer handbags, designer shoes do not (yet) cost thousands of dollars, so women can still buy three, four, five or more pairs a season. And we do! According to NPD Group, which tracks retail purchases, footwear sales to baby boomers (ages 45-64) totaled almost $6.7 billion in 2006, up from about $5.5 billion in 2004.
