Subject: Countess Ida, Bigod, Longespee
Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2002 17:06:16 +0000
After he was created an earl, William Longespee issued two charters for
Bradenstoke priory, Wiltshire, in which countess Ida was described as
his mother; as the editor observed, this offers a reason why he named
one of his daughters Ida [1].
While there were several countesses named Ida in 12th c. France, the
only one known occurring in England at this time was the wife of Roger
Bigod, earl of Norfolk, leading to the guess that she was William's
mother [2].
As it turns out there is evidence that Ida countess of Norfolk was
William's mother. Among the prisoners captured at the battle of
Bouvines, Flanders, in 1214 was Ralph Bigod, described as a brother of
William (Longespee) earl of Salisbury [3].
Two Ralph Bigods have been found in the records, but the older one was
already an adult by 1156-62 and thus unlikely to have fought in a
battle over 50 years later [4]. The other Ralph was a younger son of
Roger Bigod, earl of Norfolk, whom the editors identify as still living
in 1219 [5, 6]. This later Ralph seems very likely to have been the
half-brother of earl William.
The French compilers of the prisoners list would probably have had a
greater interest in his connection to William earl of Salisbury, one of
the commanders in the battle, than to his father who is not known to
have participated [7].
It may turn out to be only coincidence, but another Bradenstoke charter
of earl William, dated by London as 1198x1199, was witnessed by, among
others, Hugh Bigod and William Bigod [1]. These happen to be the names
of both earl Roger Bigod's half-brothers and two of his sons. Both of
the half-brothers were living at this time; Hugh was the older one [8].
It is not clear if both sons would have been old enough to witness a
charter of their half-brother, nor is it certain that earl Roger's son
William was still alive. London did not attempt to identify the

[2] G.B. Roberts, "The royal descents of 500 immigrants", 1993, pp.vi,
348-364, credits Douglas Richardson with the identification of
countess Ida as the wife of earl Roger Bigod, although no proof was
provided. The subject of earl William's mother has generated
numerous postings. See the archives.

family with Roger and Ida's son, perhaps introduced from Ida's
family. No link has been found, so far, between the older Ralph
Bigod and the comital family.

Longespee with his father-in-law.

these was a confirmation of the marriage of William Bigod, earl

Fool's Talk: Recovering the Art of Christian Persuasion
by Os Guinness
No current Talk conversations about this book.
We live in a time in which our culture vacillates between the material world and the spiritual-but-not-religious. Everywhere you look there is either New Atheism or New Age spirituality, evidentialist scientific rationalism or postmodern relativism. Os Guinness points out that the time is ripe for apologetic engagement but first we must recapture the lost art of Christian persuasion (16-17). In Fool's Talk he gives an account of where we are at this cultural moment and what it would look like for Christians to engage the culture persuasively and winsomely.
Guinness's first three chapters make the case for Christian persuasion, while chapters four through twelve give shape to the type of persuasion he is advocating for. In chapter one he urges us to allow our talk to be shaped by the cross (which is foolishness to those who are perishing), and states "Christian persuasion must always take account of the human capacity for reason and the primacy of the human heart" (27). Throughout the book he continues to argue for persuasion of both the heart and the mind, in language which speaks meaningfully to unbelievers. In chapter two, he eschews an over-emphasis on communication or marketing techniques, saying, 'Christian persuasion is cross talk, not clever talk' (39). He takes his cues on persuasive speech from the Bible, mostly Jesus and the prophets. Chapter three argues for the vital role of apologetics in Christian speech (Guinness after all, is an apologist), and the need to engage with a passionate intellect. Humorously, Guinness calls Balaam's ass the patron saint of apologists for the vital role it played in saving Balaam by stopping him in his tracks(60).
In chapter four unfolds what he means by Fool's Talk--subversion of the 'vaunted wisdom, strength and superiority of the world through the cross'(72). He showcases how the gospel provides 'the most hopeful and humorous view of life in world history' (with a little help from thinkers like Erasmus, Chesterton, Reinhold Niebuhr and Peter Berger and more). Chapter five examines the 'anatomy of unbelief.' Guinness diagnoses the way unbelief stems from a willful abuse of truth, deliberate acts of exploitation and inversion of the truth, deception and self-deception (84-9). He profiles how distractions keep unbelievers from seeing the consequences of their belief systems.
Chapter six unpacks what Guinness calls 'prophetic subversion,'--engaging unbelievers beliefs by turning the tables on them. Guinness says, "all thoughts can be thought, but not all thoughts lived" (115)and argues for an apologetic which reveals the pitfalls of unbelief (following things through to see where their ideas lead). Helping others see the full consequences of their position involves engaging with them in their language rather than just saying the gospel louder, slower and in a tone-deaf way. Here Guinness helps us see our way through to engaging others, be he counsels graciousness and care (121). People are not consistently rational and we should take care to speak to the areas where they feel the inconsistencies in their worldview. This requires both gentleness and discernment.
Chapter seven profiles moments in the lives of several converts and what caused them to see the cracks in their worldview. Chapter eight explores how to speak persuasively with others through reframing the issues, raising questions, telling stories or dramatizing their predicament. A key biblical story which illustrates persuasive talk is Nathan's confrontation of David about his sin with Bathsheba and Uriah. Chapter nine addresses tone of conversation and the trap of always 'having to be right.' Chapter ten tackles the problem of Christian hypocrisy (the 'what about you' boomerang') and chapter eleven profiles religious revisionists within the church who have forsaken the gospel (he isn't particularly friendly to Episcopalians on this score). In chapter twelve Guinness unfolds his method: raise questions, give answers, give evidence and provide a chance for commitment.
Admittedly this book was a slow burn for me. It really wasn't compelled until part way through Turning the Tables (chapter five); however Guinness is somewhat of an elderstatesman among Christian apologists and an astute cultural critic. He points a way foreword for Christians to engage in compelling, creative persuasion and synthesizing the insights of other great apologists and Christian thinkers before him. There is a lot of meat that the above summary skips over. I don't think there is a better resource which comprehensively provides rules of engagement for those who want to share their faith with unbelievers. I recommend this book for anyone who is interested in seeing unbelievers come to saving hope through Christ. There is sage advice on how to communicate good news winsomely to hearts and minds. I give this five stars: ★★★★★
Note: I received this book from InterVarsity Press in exchange for my honest review.
Summary: Guinness argues for the recovery of the lost art of persuasion that combines good apologetic work with evangelism and is aware of the many people Christians address who are not open to their message.
This is a book that Os Guinness has been preparing for a lifetime to write. Throughout his life, Guinness has been presenting the Christian faith in the public square, not only with the interested but also those who are not, those who would oppose or are disinterested in the Christian message and worldview. The book reflects a summation of the lessons he has learned and his urgent sense that the pressing need for Christian witness today is a recovery of the lost art of Christian persuasion. We know how to proclaim and we know how to protest. But do we know how to persuade those with whom we differ, engaging both minds and hearts?
He contends that often we settle for mere technique, whether that be "canned" evangelistic presentations, or "canned" arguments for the faith. This often is not enough because such approaches assume the interest of the person with whom we engage. Yet to persist in the work of persuading is urgent for those who love God because our enemy seeks to rob God of glory either by questioning his existence or by impugning God with the blame for humanity's problems.
He argues that we take the approach used by Erasmus in The Praise of Folly, becoming the "holy fool" a kind of court jester representing the kingdom of heaven pointing out the follies of unbelief, and perhaps at times following the holiest fool of all, the Lord Jesus. [Having read and reviewed this biography of Erasmus recently, my interest is piqued to read In Praise of Folly!] He then plunges into considering the anatomy of unbelief, and how often it is ultimately not simply an intellectual incapacity to believe, but a heart-driven unwillingness to believe because of what this would mean for one's life.
This calls for different forms of persuasion depending on the person. It may mean the turning of tables on them, pressing them to the ultimate conclusions of their beliefs (for example, "relativizing the relativizers"), if they are a person who prides themselves on consistency. For others, less consistent, it may be exploring the disturbing "signals of transcendence" that point to a reality other than can be explained by their worldview. The challenge is bringing a person to a place of facing the inadequacy of the belief they've embraced to be willing to consider something different.
The latter chapters consist of several warnings for the advocate of Christian faith. One is the "know-it-all" attitude that is not characterized by a humility before truth. Another is hypocrisy in one's life where one's claims and one's character fail to match up. And finally, he warns of the ways we may betray the faith. The four step process of embracing an assumption of modern life as superior, abandoning all that does not square with this, adapting whatever faith is left around this, and finally assimilating into the culture. What Guinness points out is the danger in our efforts to engage with the culture, that if we are not clear on what must be central and unchanging, that we will make fatal compromises.
Perhaps the most significant idea here, and one worth further development, is this idea of the "holy fool." As Guinness observes, there have been some, like Erasmus, G.K. Chesterton, Pascal, Muggeridge, and Lewis, who with wit, humor, and incisive argument point out the weaknesses and follies of others while commending by persuasion and a kind of winsome humility the transforming nature of Christian faith. Such an approach takes both truth and people seriously, engaging heart and mind, not with canned approaches or sterile arguments, but warm-hearted persuasion that gives people reasons for heart, soul, mind and strength to love God more than all else.
One might ask, "where is God in all this?", and at points this seems like a book on the Christian rhetorician's art, and this alone is all that is needed. What Guinness reminds us of, is that while the Christian communicator always is dependent of the work of God in those with whom they communicate, the person may often only become aware of this as they come to the place of commitment. He writes, and with this I'll conclude:
"Intriguingly, this fourth stage of the journey is often when God's presence becomes plain for the first time. The wholehearted step of faith of the new believer is far more than simply his or her own step. At one moment a seeker making her commitment knows as she has never known anything before that she is more responsible for the step of faith than for any other choice in life, and that she has never been more fully herself than in taking it. But the next moment she knows too that the One she thought was the goal was all along the guide as well. She knows that she has not so much found God as that God has found her. All the time the seeker thought she was seeking, but actually she was being sought, for God can only be known with the help of God. 'The hound of heaven,' as the poet Francis Thompson called God, has tracked the seeker down" (p. 248).
Fool's Talk: Recovering the Art of Christian Persuasion by Os Guinness is quite a convicting book, a book that really makes you think about how serious we really are about evangelism/apologetics. It provokes the question: how much thought do we really put in our conversations (or even our small-talk) with unbelievers? Do we hold back on saying anything related to the Gospel because we are ashamed of being considered foolish because of our belief in God's Word? Or if we do evangelize, are we just sticking with simple pre-contrived evangelization questions like, "If you were to die today and stood before God and He asked you why He should let you into Heaven, what would you say?" Are we willing to truly put thought into persuading someone of the truth of Christianity, giving answers to their questions, and asking thought-provoking questions ourselves, rather than merely turning to someone else's pre-designed method of evangelism. Do we not seriously think of persuasion outside of some other persons pre-written evangelization answers/questions (though not outside the word of God)? And are we loving when we talk to others, truly more concerned about winning the person rather than just winning an argument?
This book's author does an excellent job at making one think about the answers to questions like the above. For instance, as evinced above, he critiques modern-day evangelism, and makes the case that the 'method' used to evangelize actually does matter, "Recent forms of evangelism are modeled on handbooks for effective sales technique…After all, if all truth is God's truth, it is surely legitimate to use the best tricks of the trade, but this time use them in the service of the truth." "Not so…" Guinness answers. "…The Lord's work must always be done in the Lord's way. The method must serve the message. Technique is never neutral. It can be positive and useful, and it can also be harmful. Sometimes it an even be so brilliantly effective that its danger lies in its weaning us away from needing God at all. True apologetics is the art of truth, and its art must be shaped by the distinctiveness of the truth it proclaims."
He also does an excellent job at keeping one's perspective straight, because, though we do want to persuade others as best we can, and as Scripturally as we can, we are not to have the posture of winning discussions with non-believers at all-costs, the truth is true even if we do not defend it well, or even if we don't have answer to a certain question. Not matter how good are argument is, God is ultimately the only One who can change a person's heart and give them faith, though we do hope to have the opportunity to be used of God in helping others see the truth of the Gospel, "Faith's certainty lies elsewhere than in the rapier sharp logic or the sledgehammer power of the apologist. At the end of the day, full certainty comes from the conviction of the Holy Spirit."
There were some things in the book that had I had trouble with though. At one point the author says, "The next time you see Auguste Rodin's Thinker look at it closely" Ummm…. Sorry but if that work of 'art' is what I think it is (an unclothed statue of a man…who is in the process of thinking…probably trying to figure out what he forgot to do that day, he forgot to put on clothes!) I think that then next time I see it I'll look away quickly! I don't care if it doesn't show anything really inappropriate, it's the implication of nakedness that bothers me. Naked statues don't fit the list of attributes the Apostle Paul gives as to what we should think on/meditate on in Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure…(ASV)"etc.
Also, I really have trouble with some of Guinness's statements…I was really shocked by some in particular, "Just so did God shame the world's folly, subvert the world's pride and put death to death through the death of his Son. And the sober truth is surely that this was the way, the only way that it had to be done. There was no other way. God is always able to respond to sin and defiance with power….Power, however, usually overcomes by destroying what defies it. Thus, as Reinhold Niebuhr insisted, there is a limit to what even the power of God can do as power alone, for 'such power does not reach the heart of the rebel.' Power can fence us in, but only sacrificial love can find us out. Power can win when we are ranged against it, but it cannot win us." That REALLY takes away the miracle of Christians being made by God into New Creations, their hearts of stone that couldn't love God being made, by God, into hearts of flesh that love Him and His ways. That's power, being used because of God's love yes, but it's His transforming power just the same! If God didn't use power to change our hearts to love Him, and give us faith, we would not believe in Him, nor would we wish to follow His ways! See Colossians 2:8-16, that's not just love, that's God's power! He acts with His power because of His love for us! Just as God will do with the nation of Israel in the future (see Ezek. 36)
Some parts of the book get a bit tedious as you get more into it, but overall, I liked the book, and think that it is a good resource for helping us give thought about the answer we should always be ready to give when asked about the hope that we have (1 Pet. 3:15). I'll end with one of my favorite quotes from the book:
"To follow Jesus is to pay the cost of discipleship, and then to die to ourselves, to our own interests, our own agendas and reputations. It is to pick up our crosses and count the cost of losing all that contradicts his will and way - including our reputations before the world and our standing with the people and communities we once held dear. It is to live before one audience, the audience of One, and therefore to die to all other conflicting opinions and assessments. There is no room here for such contemporary ideas as the looking-glass self; and no consideration here for trivial contemporary obsessions such as one's legacy…"
Many thanks to the folks at InterVarsity Press for sending me a free review copy of this book! (My review did not have to be favorable)

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0830836993, Hardcover)In our post-Christian context, public life has become markedly more secular and private life infinitely more diverse. Yet many Christians still rely on cookie-cutter approaches to evangelism and apologetics. Most of these methods assume that people are open, interested and needy for spiritual insight when increasingly most people are not. Our urgent need, then, is the capacity to persuade―to make a convincing case for the gospel to people who are not interested in it. In his magnum opus, Os Guinness offers a comprehensive presentation of the art and power of creative persuasion. Christians have often relied on proclaiming and preaching, protesting and picketing. But we are strikingly weak in persuasion―the ability to talk to people who are closed to what we are saying. Actual persuasion requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach. Guinness notes, "Jesus never spoke to two people the same way, and neither should we." Following the tradition of Erasmus, Pascal, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, Malcolm Muggeridge and Peter Berger, Guinness demonstrates how apologetic persuasion requires both the rational and the imaginative. Persuasion is subversive, turning the tables on listeners' assumptions to surprise them with signals of transcendence and the credibility of the gospel. This book is the fruit of forty years of thinking, honed in countless talks and discussions at many of the leading universities and intellectual centers of the world. Discover afresh the persuasive power of Christian witness from one of the leading apologists and thinkers of our era.

When LaMarcus Aldridge's Portland Trailblazers were defeated in a gentlemen's sweep by the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the 2015 NBA playoffs, the big man had some interesting words about his looming free agency. Reflecting on his tenure in Portland the day after the series against the Grizzlies ended, the big man said some interesting words about his looming free agency.
"Of course I love being here, and I'm thankful for everything this city has given me, thankful for my time here." Aldridge told reporters, according to The Oregonian. "It's been an amazing nine years, and of course I'm not trying to make that end."
It's hard to believe Aldridge would be so pensive and seemingly reminiscent of his time in Portland if he were not seriously considering leaving the city he has called home for so long. That one quote is not the only evidence that might lead one to believe Aldridge is looking for greener pastures.
Some of Aldridge's Portland teammates are concerned about him leaving, and ESPN's Marc Stein reports that both San Antonio and Dallas think they have a realistic shot to land the all-star power forward. Aldridge will have no shortage of options to pursue in free agency, but he would be foolish to think he could find a better situation outside of Portland.
If Aldridge leaves Portland, it will likely be for reasons other than money. But it should be said that Portland can offer him more money and years than any other team can because of the way the current CBA is constructed.
Aside from money, it could be argued (rightly) that no team will be able to offer a better chance at a title in the near future while Aldridge is still close to his prime than Portland. If the Blazers weren't riddled with injuries this season, including Aldridge's significant thumb injury, they would have been in the running for the two seed in the Western Conference, and they would have likely fared much better in the playoffs. They were a dark horse title contender before Wesley Matthews' season abruptly ended in March due to a torn Achilles tendon in his left foot. If the Blazers stayed healthy, the team's future would be viewed in a much more positive light.
Recent playoff performances by the Blazers won't help convince Aldridge that his best chance to win the whole shebang will come by staying put, but he should know that those early exits aren't necessarily indicative of how the Blazers will fare in the playoffs going forward. The aforementioned injuries prevented the playoffs this season from being a true litmus test depicting where the Blazers actually stand among the NBA's elite teams, and it often takes more than two seasons for a core group to fully gel and be ready to make the deep run they so desire.
According to the same report by ESPN's Marc Stein cited earlier, there are rumblings that Aldridge feels under-appreciated in Portland because of the attention Damian Lillard is garnering on all fronts. If that's true and he wants to be 'the man' of a team, none of the teams rumored to be pursuing him would necessarily be able to offer that.
He might be the man in Dallas if Dirk Nowitzki retires, but that seems somewhat unlikely. In San Antonio, Kawhi Leonard will still be around to take away Aldridge's attention (at least on the court) even if Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili call it a career and Tony Parker takes his talents elsewhere. If the Cleveland Cavaliers and Kevin Love part ways thus creating room for Aldridge, he would be even lower on the food chain there with two stars bigger than him in LeBron James and Kyrie Irving. He would have to prioritize a chance at a championship above all to go to Cleveland. Even if Aldridge flees to either the New York Knicks or Los Angeles Lakers, who desperately need another great player, he will likely play second fiddle in either of those places as well while not having a tremendous chance at a championship over the next couple seasons.
Every move away from Portland has holes in the logic that can be picked apart if it's actually more recognition Aldridge is seeking, and that's without stopping to consider that Aldridge should think twice before taking on the role as a team's number one option. Aldridge has never been a true number one option in the NBA, and it might not be the right point of his career to take on that role given the fact that he will be thirty years old at the beginning of next season.
If Aldridge decides to leave Portland, the two most likely destinations seem to be San Antonio or Dallas. But if Aldridge is being honest with himself, he probably doesn't want to be the replacement for either Tim Duncan or Dirk Nowitzki given their illustrious careers. That would almost certainly leave fans underwhelmed.
It's still early in the process, and Aldridge has plenty of time to ruminate before the start of free agency. After playing in Portland for so many years, he has to have a certain comfort level there that he might not have if he went elsewhere. Aldridge isn't just comfortable off the court. Assuming the rest of the Blazers core group returns next season healthy, no other team is likely to provide Aldridge with a supporting cast as good as the one he has now, and they already know his tendencies and how to play off of him. Simply put, Aldridge would be foolish not to at least sign a short-term deal and give it one more go at bringing a championship to Rip City.

I observe ppl around me but that doesnt means I always have a bad thought about others okay.. Sometime I can read ppl characters from their face or attitude... But no worries you dont need to run away from me laaa... hhehee... I was just kidding LOL.... So come back to our topic, in this world nothing is impossible (ohh yeah? really??) I dont know too... Actually I seriously dont know what to say tonight.. Seriously just wanna to rambling... bla bla bla... hehe.. Maybe or perhaps next post would be interesting to read !

Constellations can't tell secrets –
revelations deeply secreted in stone steps
that weep as I walk upon them; wailing woes
with wetness and staining soles of shoes.
My soul mirrors sneakers – battered and bruised
but drowning in tears that cannot be told to another.
Imagine that – taking kindness from a light source long gone, like you
are now
No more, the sunshine that warmed my skin. And in
this darkness, amongst silent sorrow and whistling winds
I close my eyes and touch your face. A forgotten purchase of
pictures now passed, embrace with heart – giving stars the strength
to warm me.

While we wait for the "err..ahh..let's not jump to conclusions/background check/let the spin begin/whose fault is this really?/George Soros is behind this!" crowd, I'll wait for Sarah Palin, Sharon Angle, Jesse Kelly, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and the master puppeteer, Mr. Murdoch, to come forward and say, maybe something like this:
"Look, I'm really sorry for using words like "second amendment solutions, reload, cross hairs, shoot a fully automatic M-16, remove Gabrielle Giffords, etc when speaking about tea party opponents, because sadly I have no conscience and/or I am too stupid to realize there are deranged people out there, crazy enough to take me literally, but, err, I never meant it that way. I never meant for anyone to pull the trigger. Golly gee, I am so sorry. Please ignore me completely in the future. I will retreat in shame."
While the country waits for that, you can bide your time by listening to these religious citizens, who posted the following:
"God appointed this rod for your sins! God sent the shooter! This hateful nation unleashed violent veterans on the servants of God at WBC--hoping to silence our kind warning to obey God and flee the wrath to come."
I don't think a comment regarding the state of mind of the Westboro Baptist Church followers (if they have one) is necessary. If this is what religion does to a person, then I am glad I'm not religious.
Personally, I think the state of the United States will worsen before it improves. The ignorance of some people can't be changed overnight. The current situation is a result of decades of poor education, over-saturation, over-consumerism, and a creepy affection for guns. Give a crazy person a gun, well, they'll use it. Lots of countries around the world, with equal amounts of freedom, don't give out guns to any random person who walks into the local rifle shop. The frantic screams to "protect each individual's rights" has back-fired. Protecting the "right to bear arms" crowd means those choosing the "I really don't need a semi-automatic to go grocery shopping" option has by default, become the victim and is not free.
Either everyone has a gun (option USA) or nobody does. You disagree with someone, how about using your verbal skills to argue your views. What ever happened to debate clubs at school?
If the death of a nine-year old kid doesn't stop the perma-haters in politics and media with their staggering self-congratulatory smugness, what will?
Another disturbing effect of these times might be the far right continues to foam at the mouth while the reasonable ones - those genuinely committed to healthy debate - fearful of saying anything contentious, stuff the message in so much cotton; nobody will hear them.
America is such a great place and simultaneously totally fucked up.

Travertine pavers are an elegant and timeless option for your outdoor areas. Tile Factory Outlet has become one of Sydney's biggest and best suppliers of outdoor travertine tiles. Why is this? Simply put, it's the price. Sydneysiders love a bargain and no better bargain can be found than at TFO.
If you are looking to pave your backyard, look no further. Many have found that for the price of traditional concrete pavers (from other shops), you can buy the most visually appealing travertine pavers from TFO.
Travertine has been used for hundreds of years in construction. Just look at the Colosseum to see how travertine stands the test of time. Travertine can transform an ordinary backyard into a stunning oasis that will be the envy of your friends and will add real value to your number one investment – your home.
There are many types of travertine pavers as travertine is available in many different colours and finishes. The colours come in light travertine, classic travertine, noce and silver. Most travertine pavers come in a tumbled finish, creating a beautiful old worn look, beautiful to look at and soft on the feet. These varieties make choosing pavers for your garden or home surrounds so much more exciting and unique.
One of the great advantages is that it does not heat up like concrete or granite pavers do, making it much more comfortable to live with and making them ideal pavers for your garden.
Travertine pavers are generally, but not limited to being produced in the following sizes, 305x305x30mm, 305x610x30mm, 406x406x30mm, 406x610x30mm and 610x610x30mm.
Another design, ever increasing in popularity, is the French pattern which is a combination of four different sizes, matched together creating a harmonious beautiful relaxing look.
Travertine comes in three main types of quality:
1. Budget – amazing colours and textures for the budget conscious.
2. Flow mix – less holes with colours that vary.
3. Premium – less holes and colour variation.
One of the great points in buying your travertine pavers from TFO, is that what you see on display is what actually is in stock. If you wish, you may also inspect the crates before buying them. We take all the mystery out of buying your travertine pavers, so come see us about all your travertine paving needs.
Travertine pavers are porous and therefore require sealing just like all natural stone. Whether used internally or externally, it should be sealed.
For your travertine pavers, we recommend a penetrating sealer. This sealer sits under the surface and does not interfere with the colour or surface in any way. All it does is, any liquid that falls on the travertine surface will bead, giving you time to wipe the surface clean before it can be absorbed into the travertine, making it more difficult to stain and easier to clean.
For a great selection of affordable premium quality travertine pavers, plus sealants, visit TFO today or buy from our online tile store now.

In my view, he spoke from the heart, and his mind about the similarities of Racism in America, Finance, his approach on black/white, and other things that has been plaguing.

Phenibut XT can be summarized as a cost effective, single ingredient product that has a wide variety of uses.
Phenibut is commonly used for:
What is Phenibut?
Phenibut is derived from the neurotransmitter GABA. Its structure is comparable to GABA. Its phenyl ring allows phenibut to pass through the blood-brain barrier more efficiently than GABA. Phenibut is used for medical purposes in Russia, where it was first discovered.
Phenibut is believed to reduce not only anxiety and tension, but also fear. It may help people who stutter, have trouble sleeping, or suffer from anxiety. Research suggests that it helps to increase strength. It is used as a sleep aid. Additionally, it helps to support brain function.
Phenibut (beta-phenyl-gamma-aminobutyric acid) was discovered in Russia during the 1960's. It is a derivative of the neurotransmitter GABA and is capable of passing the blood brain barrier.
Phenibut is regarded as a nootropic for its ability to have an affect of various neurological functions. It is a gamma receptor agonist and also causes the release of GABA.
Phenibut XT Dosage Notes:
Phenibut XT's effects can be dosage dependant, with the typical effects of phenibut being felt in 1.5 to 2 hours, although some people notice effects sooner.
Suggested usage ranges from 500 to 2000 mg, divided over 2 to 3 daily dosages. The half life of this compound is approximately 5 hours so most individuals attempt to space their dosages throughout the day.
Tolerance can develop to some of the effects of phenibut, although it is reported by many that it does not develop to the nootropic effect.
To prevent tolerance from occurring, many people take phenibut for durations of no more than 2 weeks, followed by an equal time off. Alternatively, some individuals simply do not use phenibut everyday, depending on the purpose of usage.
Also note that effects to phenibut can vary by the person per dosage, so it is suggested that people start with a smaller dosage and work their way up in order to find their own proper dosing.
Some general dosage observations:
As a Short Term Sleep Aid – average dosing is 1 to 2 capsules approximately 2 hours before bedtime. Since Phenibut is reported to help produce longer, deeper sleep, it is suggested that when taken for this purpose that it should be taken around 10 hours before anticipated waking time until individual response is assessed.
For Mild Anxiety – average dosing is 1 capsule 2 – 3 times per day in between meals for periods of up to two weeks, followed by a week to two week break.
For Acute Bouts of Anxiety – average dosing is 1 to 2 capsules 2 – 3 times per day. Note that we cannot recommend exceeding 4 caps total per day. When used for this purpose, it is generally used for periods of several days followed by a week to 10 day break.
Nootropic Properties – Average dosing is 1 to 3 capsules for 2 to 4 weeks, followed by a 2 week layoff.
Additional Notes:
Many individuals may find it beneficial to stack Phenibut XT with Focus XT for enhanced nootropic benefits.

Pug dog breed origins are placed in China, estimated at age race over 2000 years. The first written description of a similar dog called "dog with short snout" was recorded around 600 BC
In complete dictionary of Chinese characters ordered by Emperor Kang Hsi (approx. 950 AD) are registered characters "short-legged dog" and "dog with short head" which, according to experts, makes reference to the Pug breed.
The trip MOPS to "old continent" has its starting point at the end of the XVth century and beginning of the sixteenth century, with trade initiated between sailors, merchants Chinese and the Europeans (Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and English) .
You agree quickly as pet dogs and small sized Mopsii relatively quickly spread first in the Netherlands, where they received Mopshond name (root popular name today).
A copy of the race was very helpful Prince Willem of Orange (aka taciturn), barking or noise telling him about near Spanish troops and saving his position in the conflict. Also Pug dog breed (pug breed) have accompanied William III and Mary II (of Orange) you have access to the throne (1688).
Debut in select art (English branch) and made him brush his thanks to William Hogarth who immortalized in the famous "House of Cards" - painting depicting dogs playing cards Pug. They received different names in European countries that have gained popularity, as Carlin in France, Dogullo in Spain, Mops in German kingdoms and Caganlino in the Italian peninsula.
Vector popular breed of pet dogs Pug (Mops) in France was Josephine Bonaparte Copy or Fortune. Goya painted his famous pug, in 1785, restoring his ears cropped copies. Since the eighteenth century the breed becomes more standardized, being separated in hues: brown ( "Isabella") and dark shades to black.
Food Pug
Feed your dog Mops (Pug) is best to be served at room temperature. It will be more convenient to remove from the refrigerator and in the bowl or to transfer, but in this way expose indigestion, intestinal blockages or even the feared crisis of gastric torsion.
Regularly check your dog's weight. Pug weighs an average of 6-8 kg (depending on sex, with males being more robust and more solid bones). If exceeded the threshold of 10 kg it is no longer a joke.
You do not have a dog in this case plump, but a downright obese. Do not allow this dog to gain weight, even if his appetite seems insatiable food. Always keep in mind the difficulties and quite large so required by conformation brachycephalia and imagine how much they can increase obesity.
Most often, you notice such a situation is about to occur, you need to increase the allotted time outdoors and movement exercises, together with an adjustment of the daily ration of food.
Avoid cooked bones, and if the chicken ban is total. Like any dog, Pug is very attracted to the bones, but they will chew efficiently, and the cooked become brittle and, once ingurgitate, can break down the walls of the stomach or intestines, causing internal bleeding.
Ultimately, larger bones, raw, may be offered from time to time with the idea of protecting teeth against plaque deposit. But in this case, just choose from the patella, where there is cartilage and spongy texture is not so tough and there is no danger of sharp fragments result.
If you have several dogs of this breed (or breeds), you give food in one larger bowl. Each will have to have his own boat.
Protein meat (avoid pork), vegetables (carrots, celery, peppers, parsnips, turnip, peas), fruits (apples, melons, oranges). This is the ideal combination, provide all the ingredients necessary for a balanced diet. Minced meat is not all bad for dogs as for humans and the high level of fat, is considered a major source of calories.
Chicken and turkey - meat sources here are two very indicated. They are easy to digest, low in calories are therefore recommended for dogs with sensitive stomach and those not performing too intense physical nature.
Pasta and noodles are good sources of carbohydrates, but not a compelling aroma and taste for dogs. They should be seasoned with meat sauce - for example - or used mixed with other ingredients easily accepted.
Yogurt and cheese are good sources of nutrients and generally are liked by dogs. Rice (preferably brown one) is easily digested and, in combination with a diet is chicken indicated in dogs bred Pug (Pug) convalescence.
Chicken eggs, boiled or scrambled eggs is prepared in the form of easy and nutritious food. Eggs are very suitable for puppies in the first months of life.
Description Pug
In spite of being a very old breed, the Pug has not suffered too many transformations over the years. Race is the largest of breeds "toy" miniature, with a compact body, stocky, short and well muscled.
Pugs have massive head, short muzzle and round the square, black and deep wrinkles on the face. Have prominent eyes, expressive, shiny, dark. The teeth should have special tread of the two dental arches, so lower incisors must sit ahead of superiors.
The back is short, looking slightly oblique to the hind legs. The legs are straight and strong, which gives an elegant motion, cradled, which is somewhat characteristic. The tail is curled over the hips. They have soft fur, shiny apricot color, black, brown and silver with a mask color as darker.
The height at the withers is 30-36 cm and 25-30 cm from male to female. Body mass varies around 6-10 kg to 6-8 kg in male and female.
Behavior Pug
They are full of life, exsuberanti, loyal, affectionate and caring, always with an optimistic attitude. They are playful and fascinating, intelligent and mischievous. They can easily be stubborn, inflexible. Not cranky, the Pug breed is affectionate, funny and even tempered with more charm and dignity.
They are intelligent and naughty with a penchant for wandering. Pugs love to socialize, wanting to be the best friend anyone and will pout when you will no longer have activities. They are sensitive to tone of voice, so harsh punishment or unnecessary quarrels.
There is no very energetic, but no inactive. They are good watchdogs, very devoted, that does not bark excessively. Remember, however, that require attention and become jealous if their owner ignores.
Pugs were always friendly pet dogs. He loves to be a family member. Pugs are good guard dogs, lively playmates for children and will be happy Twists on your knees to take a nap. They are tolerant of other dogs or other pets and behave impeccably with both children, and with guests.
Easily adapts to life in an apartment. They are relatively inactive indoors and will do okay without requiring a yard.
Training Pug
A dog will not take account of its size ever. And the perception of a Pug about their waist ... well equates to that of an elephant. As a joke circulating in China on account of this "brave dwarf", a Pug dog will never agree that waist is too small; but that too many animals are deformed compared to him.
Training a small dog becomes all the more important as we value the following truth: being our pet, always in proximity, almost everything you do takes place before our eyes, his actions influence our step by step. Therefore it requires good coordination and cooperation in this regard, all obtained through a clever training quality.
In relation to a dog Mops (Pug) has just arrived in the middle of the family can not really talk about "grace period".
Regardless of how this phrase sounds, it is true as can be. Pug site (PUG) is active, temperamental especially in the first part of his life, alert and stubborn. First habits learned first behavioral nuances coming from family members and favors that will be very difficult subsequently corrected.
Never escape the sight of the validity of the expression, "a big dog in a small body" very suitable if a dog breed Pug (Pug).
Endowed with an iron will and a sharp intellect, a Pug gets bored quickly if a command is repeated too often. Beyond that is a small dog, a guard dog proves effective, meaning that foreigners will notify promptly approaching, but will not involve aggressive in their approach.
Any trends in this regard seen in young males should be immediately corrected and are considered deviant behavior of the standard. The closest relationship will develop the most authoritative and influential family member.
Remember that these intelligent animals perceive real authority in terms of greater accuracy than us. If a Pug (Pug) individually choose a certain person in the family and will post its always around, giving her entire attention, that person must be involved mostly in training. This will get the best results in short time.
Characteristics Pug
Pugs are unhappy these days too hot, cold or wet due to their short snouts and boxy. They should not be left outside or in locked cars on summer or winter months.
Pugs require a suitable time to move. Love games and will be maintained in an appropriate health status is granted if the time to move. There are very demanding in this regard, content with one hour of walking or playing in the park per day. Should not be overworked, especially when I see that starting to gasp.
Pugs have a smooth and shiny coat is easy to keep clean with a brush or a comb bristles. It is bathed only those regions that are badly needed. After bathing, dry it quickly and thoroughly to prevent any colds debutarea. It should also be cleaned toilets and wrinkles on the face to prevent accumulation of secretions and facial dermatitis.
Pug site sheds seasonally, but abundant.
Health Pug
Dogs are cool slightly and are easily stressed by too cold or too hot climates. They are prone to allergies, keratitis and corneal ulcers. Their eyes are delicate predipsusi to excessive tearing and conjunctivitis.
Short muzzle contribute to the development of chronic respiratory diseases, suffering and poor ventilation. They tend to pant and snore. Be careful not to overfeed them because they have a tendency to obesity, which causes other diseases that could shorten life.
Hip dysplasia is a malformation of the hip joint that results in pain, lameness and arthritis consecutive.
Patellar luxation is a disorder that affects the patella (kneecap).
It is a condition in which the eyelid inward rolling of the edge off them. Genes on the edge of the eyelid irritate the surface of the eyeball, which can lead to more serious problems.
