The Islamist extremist cell behind an earlier political assassination also killed a leftist Tunisian politician using the same weapon, a top security official announced Friday.
Mohammed Brahmi was shot 14 times in front of his home within sight of his family on Thursday, plunging the country into a political crisis and unleashing demonstrations around the country blaming the government for the assassination.
Interior Minister Loutfi Ben Jeddou told reporters that ballistics tests on the 9mm bullets used in the attack showed it came from the same weapon used to kill opposition leader Chokri Belaid in February. The minister said a jihadi cell of 14 was behind that attack, four of whom were in custody.
The press conference came as thousands across Tunisia called for the government to resign.
Demonstrations raged around the country the night before, holding the ruling Islamist Ennahda Party responsible for the assassination and attacking local party headquarters. Police used tear gas in central Tunis and in the provinces to disperse the protests.
The slaying of Brahmi of the leftist Popular Current party raised fears of new chaos in the country that unleashed the Arab Spring. Tunisia is working toward enshrining a new constitution meant to lead the way to lasting democracy and so far has avoided the widespread violence and unrest as in Egypt and Libya.
Brahmi was a respected leftist politician and a strong critic of the Ennahda Party, which rules in a coalition with two other secular parties. There were no immediate claims of responsibility for his killing.
His party told The Associated Press it is postponing his funeral, initially planned for Friday, fearing it could inflame supporters on an already tense day. He will be buried Saturday in the same cemetery in Tunis as Belaid.
The main trade union called for a general strike Friday, closing down the airport, public transportation and most government offices as a new coalition of civil society and opposition parties called for the dissolution of the government and the national assembly.
In a statement published by Mosaique FM, several left wing and liberal parties announced the formation of a National Salvation Front calling for civil disobedience and a sit-in outside the national assembly until it and the government are dissolved.
There have also been reports of resignations by some members of the assembly, which was elected in October 2011 and charged with writing a new constitution and running the country. The constitution was expected to be completed and new elections held by the end of the year.
The new opposition front is calling for the formation of a national unity government charged with finishing the constitution and holding new elections.
In a statement late Thursday, Ennahda condemned the assassination as a "cowardly" act "targeting the revolution and national unity, and obstructing the democratic transition process."
Much of the opposition, however, is holding Ennahda responsible for Brahmi's assassination, much as it did Belaid's, either because the Islamists have been unable to ensure security in the country or because they are actively collaborating with extremist elements to target their opponents.
The Interior Ministry has accused Islamist extremists of being behind the attack on Belaid and said it would announce the names of suspects shortly.
The U.S. State Department, the United Nations and Amnesty International called for an impartial investigation into the killings and for Tunisians to avoid reacting with violence.
Schemm reported from Rabat, Morocco.

The fight to delay the September arrival of more than 6,000 federal workers at the Department of Defense's new Mark Center complex off Interstate 395 in Alexandria continues, but lawmakers are finding that there's little then can do to stop the move.
With time running out before the September deadline for the move, which is affiliated with DOD's Base Realignment and Closure process, local leaders say they're still playing a waiting game.
When it comes to halting or at least adjusting the plan to move 6,000 workers into a building along one of the most highly trafficked roads in the area, without proper transportation improvements, Fairfax County Supervisor Sharon Bulova and other county leaders are feeling a bit powerless.
"Getting agreement for the extension is not something the county supervisors will make happen but we sure are weighing in strongly," she says.
With Fairfax and Prince William Counties, and the City of Alexandria, having ruled out a lawsuit against the federal government regarding the Mark Center complex, weighing in may be all they can do.
Last month, Rep. Jim Moran, the Democrat that represents part of Northern Virginia, urged the municipalities to consider suing DOD to delay the move. They would have grounds, he argued, after the DOD Inspector General released a report finding fault with the agency's process leading up to BRAC.
At today's Fairfax board of supervisors meeting, Bulova will ask her colleagues to approve a letter to Senator Jim Webb's (D-Va.) office asking him to support legislation allowing the Secretary of Defense to delay certain BRAC initiatives by one year.
But Bulova says even a one year delay isn't ideal. The Virginia Department of Transportation says it will likely take at least 18 months before construction can start on the high occupancy vehicle (HOV) ramp connecting the complex to I-395. The ramp will likely help what's expected to be a traffic nightmare.

Run-time reconfiguration has been shown to produce power and energy efficient designs. However, it is important to take into account the energy overhead of the reconfiguration process itself. This paper presents an analytical model that covers the effects of power consumption and configuration speed of the reconfiguration process. Based on this model, a method is introduced that establishes the optimal degree of parallelism for designs supporting partial run-time reconfiguration. Our energy-aware approach is illustrated by optimising designs for software-defined radio: a reconfigurable FIR filter is shown to be up to 49% more energy efficient and up to 87% more area efficient than a non-reconfigurable design.

Wayne McGregor doesn't lack ambition. His new work for his company Random Dance is more than an hour long, stuffed full of ideas, structurally complex and at the very cutting edge of technology. It is also extremely beautiful.
Its subject, I think, is the nature of the body itself – what it means to be human and to move as a human being in a world in which the choreographer can enlist a computer as a co-creator. It doesn't necessarily answer that question, and there are points en route where it loses its way, but the journey is never less than stimulating.
It opens wonderfully with a confident progression from a writhing group of bodies, to a sequence of sharply differentiated duets, then back to group dances for a contemporary chorus line who take hold of each other's crossed hands with a kind of tentative wonderment.
Under Lucy Carter's sumptuous lighting, which switches from sandy warmth, to purple depths, to turquoise haze and all points in between, the 10 dancers look like questioning gods. When they perform as an ensemble, McGregor seems to pay tribute to Ninjinska's Les Noces, that rigorous study of individual and group behaviour.
Their striking, exploratory movements which call to mind the scientific building blocks of all human life, work in close harmony with a surprisingly emotional score played live by its composers A Winged Victory for the Sullen, alias Dustin O'Halloran, Adam Wiltzie and their collaborators.
Then the mood changes and screens descend from up high. The audience dons 3D glasses and are plunged into the world of Ravi Deepres's projections. Squares float towards us, green words form in front of our eyes, and an ant develops into a colony, which in turn evolves into a nucleus and then the red light of the sun itself.
At one point the dancers themselves appear on screen, ghostly grey. But for the most part, they dance below the projections, more interesting than anything that appears on screen, their extended forms creating complex shapes and strongly geometric patterns. Like nature itself. Certain movements recur: a hand raised to the sky, a rapid pirouette, a delicate feathering of the arms. All seem full of doubt, as if thought has been made flesh.
The meanings are not necessarily easy to read, but the sense of quest is compelling, particularly in the final section where the screens vanish, and the focus returns once more to these superb dancers, responding to each other and to the score, finally moving into darkness as three repeated notes leave a dangling question in the air.
Until Saturday. Tickets: 0844 412 4300 or www.sadlerswells.com

Jane Kleeb and BOLD Nebraska's dirty little secret
LINCOLN, NE – New information regarding energy consumption by Jane Kleeb and BOLD Nebraska's "Clean Energy Barn" built in York County along the proposed route for the Keystone XL pipeline actually demonstrates the need for this pipeline says the Nebraska chapter of Americans for Prosperity.
AFP-Nebraska has obtained the energy consumption history report for the "Clean Energy Barn" from the Perennial Public Power District. The report indicates BOLD Nebraska has been purchasing energy from Perennial for the "Clean Energy Barn" – energy produced by coal-fired electricity plants.
"Jane Kleeb and BOLD Nebraska have a dirty little secret that's been exposed," said Matt Litt, state director of AFP-Nebraska. "Bold Nebraska and Jane Kleeb pledged to use renewable energy sources for this project, yet these renewable sources were not able to meet consumption demands. The symbol of their movement – the "Clean Energy Barn" – is not self-sustaining and uses the same electricity that homes and businesses in York and other Nebraska communities use: power generated from coal-fired generating plant," continued Litt.
"Bold Nebraska's reliance on fossil fuels to operate the 'Clean Energy Barn' underlines the point supporters of Keystone XL have been saying all along: we need access to cheap, reliable energy to meet 21st Century energy needs. And Keystone XL is an essential component to meeting this growing need," said Litt.
The energy consumption history was obtained from Perennial through an open records request under the public records act, Nebraska Revised Statutes Section 84-712.
According to the information provided by Perennial, BOLD Nebraska's "Clean Energy Barn" consumed 143 kilowatt hours of energy from September 2013 thru January 2014. During that same period, 93 kilowatt-hours was produced by BOLD Nebraska's generator which they claim is supported by a wind turbine and solar panel. Altogether, BOLD Nebraska purchased 50 kilowatt-hours of energy, an average of 10 kilowatt-hours per month, from Perennial during the five month period since service to the site was initiated.
Jane Kleeb said, in an on-camera interview aired by WOWT Channel 6 (NBC affiliate) in Omaha and KOLN/KGIN Channels 10/11 (CBS affiliate) in Lincoln, the following:
"This barn will not only have solar energy, it will have a wind turbine as well, so it will be powered 100 percent by renewable energy."
Americans for Prosperity-Nebraska (AFP-NE) is a statewide organization committed to advancing every individual's right to economic freedom and opportunity. AFP-NE believes reducing the size and scope of government is the best safeguard to ensuring prosperity for all Americans. AFP-NE educates and engages citizens in support of restraining state and federal government growth and returning government to its constitutional limits. AFP-NE has more than 40,000 members.

Navigant: automotive segment about 10.5% of global advanced battery shipments in 2013
17 June 2014
The automotive segment accounted for about 10.5% (4,972.2 MWh) of global advanced battery shipments of about 47,400 MWh, according to the most recent Advanced Battery Tracker from Navigant Research. The majority of advanced batteries (87%) went to the consumer electronics segment.
The chemistries included in the report are all lithium-ion (Li-ion) chemistries, flow battery chemistries, sodium metal halide, sodium sulfur (NaS), aqueous sodium-ion, and advanced lead-carbon.
When measured by cell shipments, more than 99% of advanced batteries were made with lithium ion (Li-ion) chemistries in 2013. Li-ion continues to be the primary chemistry utilized in consumer electronics, power tool, automotive, medical, and defense applications.
The only major application segment with significant penetration by other chemistries is stationary energy storage (0.3% share in 2013), where some systems utilize flow, sodium metal halide, sodium sulfur, and aqueous sodium ion batteries.
|Click to enlarge.
The global shipment volume of 47.4 GWh of advanced batteries represented more than 6 billion individual battery cells, 40.1 GW of power capacity, and more than $13.4 billion in sales. Navigant said that this represents a moderate growth rate over 2012 shipment numbers, which saw 44 GWh of batteries, worth nearly $12.8 billion, produced and sold. The majority of these batteries were manufactured in China and shipped around the world.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Navigant: automotive segment about 10.5% of global advanced battery shipments in 2013:
Future extended range BEVs, with 100+ kWh improved battery pack each, may become an important game changer.
More electric city buses, with 300+ kWh improved battery pack each, and city e-taxis with Model S style quick charge batteries will also contribute.
Many more PHEVs with 20 to 40 kWh battery pack will also become major users.
Used EV batteries may be used for domestic e-storage to extend the will or solar energy.

The 226 km longrailwayis jointly-owned by Goldman Sachs, Glencore Xstrata Plc and U.S.-based Drummond International, each of whom manage their own rolling stock that together haul about 160,000 tons of coal to seaports.
"Negotiations were difficult but we have reached an agreement," said Felix Herrera, president of Sintraime, which represents workers in the mining, metallurgy and rail sectors. The union represents about 350 of Fenoco's 630 direct employees.
The deal between workers and the company was the first to be signed since 2008. Herrera said it involved pay rises of 4.5 percent on average and was valid through 2014.
Colombian labor law provides for up to two 20-day periods of negotiations between workers and employers. The resolution of the dispute at the end of the first round will come as a relief to the government and coal sector at large after a year full of disruption, including strikes and logistics woes.
The government has lost millions of dollars in royalties income from the country's single most valuable mineral this year after strikes at its No. 1 and No. 2 coal producers Cerrejon and Drummond.
Workers at Drummond's two mines and port returned to work last Saturday after more than seven weeks of strike action when the government intervened, sending the dispute to be resolved by arbitrators.
"The (Fenoco) agreement ends the (labor strife) in the sector that has left very high social and economic costs," said Marie Joachim, Fenoco's vice-president for human resources and communication.
Colombia's Mines and Energy Minister Amylkar Acosta said on Tuesday the government was maintaining the country's target for 2013 coal production for now at 94 million tons, hoping producers could make up for some of the strike-related output cuts before the end of the year. (Reuters)

Review for Mercy Medical Angels, Virginia Beach, VA, USA
I was interested in joining a study in NYC for my rare condition, but my poor finances were holding me back. I was told about MMA, and they were able to help me out with a free ride, more than once. I joined the study, and I am very happy with this new treatment. Without the help of these generous people, I would still be stuck in my old not so healthy way of treatment.

Middlemarch by George Eliot: "Set in a provincial Victorian neighborhood, the author explores the complex social relationship and the struggle to hold fast to personal tragedy in a materialistic environment."
If you enjoyed the philosophical and social themes of Middlemarch, here are some other titles you may enjoy:
The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
Into the narrow social world of New York in the 1870s comes Countess Ellen Olenska, surrounded by shocked whispers about her failed marriage to a rich Polish Count. A woman who leaves her husband can never be accepted in polite society. Newland Arthur is engaged to young May Welland, but the beautiful and mysterious Countess needs his help. He becomes her friend and defender, but friendship with an unhappy, lonely woman is a dangerous path for a young man to follow - especially a young man who is soon to be married (worldcat.org)
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
"Anna Karenina" tells of the doomed love affair between the sensuous and rebellious Anna and the dashing officer, Count Vronsky. Tragedy unfolds as Anna rejects her passionless marriage and must endure the hypocrisies of society. Set against a vast and richly textured canvas of nineteenth-century Russia, the novel's seven major characters create a dynamic imbalance, playing out the contrasts of city and country life and all the variations on love and family happiness. (amazon.com)
The Heart of Midlothian by Walter Scott
Jeanie Deans, a dairymaid, decides she must walk to London to gain an audience with the Queen. Her sister is to be executed for infanticide and, while refusing to lie to help her case, Jeanie is desperate for a reprieve. Set in the 1730s in a Scotland uneasily united with England, The Heart of Mid-Lothian dramatizes different kinds of justice - that meted out by the Edinburgh mob in the lynching of Captain Porteous, and that encountered by a terrified young girl suspected of killing her baby. (catalog description)
Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
For daring to peer into the heart of an adulteress and enumerate its contents with profound dispassion, the author of Madame Bovary was tried for "offenses against morality and religion." What shocks us today about Flaubert's devastatingly realized tale of a young woman destroyed by the reckless pursuit of her romantic dreams is its pure artistry: the poise of its narrative structure, the opulence of its prose (marvelously captured in the English translation of Francis Steegmuller), and its creation of a world whose minor figures are as vital as its doomed heroine. In reading Madame Bovary, one experiences a work that remains genuinely revolutionary almost a century and a half after its creation. (catalog description)
My Life in Middlemarch by Rebecca Mead
A New Yorker writer revisits the seminal book of her youth--Middlemarch-- and fashions a singular, involving story of how a passionate attachment to a great work of literature can shape our lives and help us to read our own histories. (catalog description)
Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
This engrossing novel by Jane Austen is famous for its realism and moralistic tone. It introduces us to Fanny Price, a girl from an impoverished family, who is sent to live with her aristocratic uncle and aunt. The discriminating attitude of the patricians with the underprivileged and their licentious behaviour has been masterfully highlighted in this magnum-opus. (amazon.com)
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
North and South tells a tale of contrast between the way of life in the industrial north of England and the wealthier south. First published in 1854, the story centers around young Margaret Hale from the South who moves with her parents to a fictional industrial town in the North. The move brings about many changes, as her experiences with the poor and the industrial ruling classes make her rethink her preconceived ideas on class, gender, and romance. (amazon.com)
The Small House at Allington by Anthony Trollope
Engaged to the ambitious and self-serving Adolphus Crosbie, Lily Dale is devastated when he jilts her for the aristocratic Lady Alexandrina. Although crushed by his faithlessness, Lily still believes she is bound to her unworthy former fiance for life and therefore condemned to remain single after his betrayal. And when a more deserving suitor pays his addresses, she is unable to see past her feelings for Crosbie. (catalog description)
Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
A ne'er-do-well exploits his gentle daughter's beauty for social advancement in this masterpiece of tragic fiction. Hardy's 1891 novel defied convention to focus on the rural lower class for a frank treatment of sexuality and religion. Then and now, his sympathetic portrait of a victim of Victorian hypocrisy offers compelling reading. (worldcat.org)
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Virginia Woolf said of Emily Brontë that her writing could : "make the wind blow and the thunder roar," and so it does in Wuthering Heights. Catherine Earnshaw, Heathcliff, and the windswept moors that are the setting of their mythic love are as immediately stirring to the reader of today as they have been for every generation of readers since the novel was first published in 1847.

Listach interested in Cubs' managerial job
Listach interested in Cubs' managerial job
Listach managed in the Cubs' Minor League system for four seasons, going 253-221. His best season was in 2008, when he guided Triple-A Iowa to an 83-59 record, and he is still respected by the organization.
"I would definitely like the job," Listach said. "But I have a job to do here in Washington. If that job is available, it would be a dream come true. When you bring a championship to that city and that team, it's a big deal.
"It's one of the elite jobs in baseball. When you start talking about the Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox and Dodgers, that's the elite of the elite. Just to be considered is an honor. It makes me feel good as a person that I've done the right things in this game that people would consider me."
While in the Cubs' Minor League system, Listach managed players such as Geovany Soto, Tyler Colvin and Carlos Marmol, who are currently in the big leagues.
"They had success in the Minor League level, and they have been promoted and they have stuck," Listach said.
Piniella is the reason Listach is with the Nationals. Piniella spoke to then-general manager Jim Bowden, who hired Listach as the team's third-base coach because of that recommendation.
Listach understands there will be a lot of competition for the Cubs' managerial job.
"I respect all the other managers who are in contention -- Ryne Sandberg, Mike Quade, Fredi Gonzalez and Bob Brenly," he said. "We have all heard the same names. I respect all those guys. They are good people. They want the job as well. I hope they keep Quade as manager."

In light of the H1N1 pandemic flu virus, the Department of Labor (DOL) has released question-and-answer guidance on leave issues under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).
Are employees entitled to take FMLA leave if they have the flu or if a family member has the flu?
Yes, if complications arise that create a serious health condition as defined by the law.
Can employees use FMLA leave to stay home to avoid getting the flu?
No. The FMLA is intended for employees who are incapacitated by a serious health condition or who are caring for a family member who is incapacitated by a serious health condition.
Can employees use FMLA leave to take care of children whose school or day care has shut down due to pandemic influenza?
No. The FMLA is intended for employees who are incapacitated by a serious health condition or who are caring for a family member who is incapacitated by a serious health condition.
Can employers send employees home if they show symptoms of pandemic influenza?
Yes. Employers are allowed to send employees home, prevent employees from coming to work, or require employees to take sick leave if they show symptoms of pandemic influenza. Employers should follow their sick leave policies and ensure that their employment decisions do not violate anti-discrimination laws.
Can employers require employees who are out sick with pandemic influenza to provide a doctor's note, submit to a medical exam, or remain symptom-free for a specific amount of time before returning to work?
Yes. Under the FMLA, requiring return-to-work medical certification is allowed if the employer has a consistent policy of requiring similarly situated employees to present certification verifying the employee's ability to return to work.
These actions also would not violate the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) if the employer has a reasonable belief that the employee's ability to perform essential job functions, with or without reasonable accommodation, is impaired, or that the employee poses a direct safety threat.
However, the DOL warns that during a pandemic, health care resources may be overwhelmed, and it may be difficult for employees to get appointments with their health care provider to verify they are well or no longer contagious. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) suggests accepting a form, stamp, or e-mail from a local clinic that certifies that the employee does not have the pandemic virus.

Paths of Glory: An Early Kubrick Film
A Cold War era treatment of an earlier conflict, Paths of Glory engages injustice within the ranks during World War I through the efforts of a regimental commander in the French army, played by Kirk Douglas, to stem callous treatment of line troops by the French high command. Built upon class divisions, the film depicts an entrenched establishment that cannot be challenged no matter how irrational or heartless the orders from above.
From a very young age Amelia Earhart knew she wanted to do something different. She became enamored with aviation, and from the very beginning set flight records.
She was the first woman to fly the Atlantic. As a passenger on that flight she referred to herself simply as a "sack of potatoes." But the experience inspired her to do her own solo transatlantic flight in the Lockheed Vega 5B. Shortly after, she set a transcontinental record.
Used both for commercial and military air transportation, the Douglas DC-3 was one of the most successful airliners in history. The aircraft's efficiency, speed, and safety popularized air travel. It was the first airliner able to profit only from carrying passengers. Today, about 400 DC-3s are still flying.
On May 21, 1937, record-setting pilot and celebrity Amelia Earhart set out to become the first woman to fly around the world. By July 2, she and her navigator, Fred Noonan, had flown more than 35,406 kilometers (22,000 miles). They intended to make three final but long over-water flights across the Pacific Ocean to complete the voyage: from New Guinea to Howland Island, Howland to Hawaii, and Hawaii to San Francisco, California. Instead, they disappeared en route to Howland Island.
A fan of what he calls "the older stuff," librarian Phil Edwards shared with me seven of the library's most prized possessions and lesser-known gems just in time for Museum Week's Book Day (#BooksMW).
What do baseball, hockey, and football have in common? Hint: It's more than just the roar of the crowd or competitive all-star athletes. Each sporting event has some connection to aviation and spaceflight—yes, spaceflight.
Our intrepid archivist, Elizabeth Borja, has been exploring this connection for years. Whether it's the testing of spacesuits at a baseball game or the New York Yankees flying on a Douglas DC-4, Borja has uncovered surprising sports stories filed away in the Museum's Archives. Here are our five, all-time-favorite stories in honor of today's #MuseumWeek theme: sports (#sportsMW).
Although less well known than Wings, The Dawn Patrol, and Hell's Angels, The Eagle and the Hawk was one of the best World War I dramas of the 1930s. Based on an original story by John Monk Saunders, who also wrote the original story for Wings, The Eagle and the Hawk focuses on the psychological aspects of wartime aerial combat. It explores the cumulative effects on pilots and crews who fought in the skies during World War I, rather than on the romanticized heroic exploits of fighter pilots.
As a volunteer at the National Air and Space Museum, I've been talking to visitors about astronomy for 28 years. Right now is an exciting time to be volunteering here thanks to the total solar eclipse that will happen this summer. As an astronomy enthusiast and an eclipse chaser, I have some great advice to share on how best to view the 2017 eclipse.

text: I bought a Kblade team from a dealer.. I had the length professionally reduced to 27 inches from the 27.3 I have access to a Bab RDC machine and checked the SW...it was 297 and the weight strung was 10 5/8 ounces... I then bought another off ****...the seller stated that it was purchased from ******* Sports and was authentic... I also reduced the length to 27 inches.. Then put in on a RDC machine...strung weight was 10 1/4 but the SW was 308. (unstrung for 27.3 is supposed to be 10 1/4) In otherwords the racket was was 3/8 ounce (actually 9 grams) lighter but had a higher SW of 9 and weighed strung what the racket is supposed to unstrung. I then compared both and noticed that the hologram of the second was on the inside of the throat while the hologram of the first was on the outside of the throat.. Also, the second did not have a size sticker on the outside. Other than that it looked identical except that the gold paint on the "wilson" on the throat was a bit brighter on the second. Two Questions: How is the SW/static weight possible....(i.e. different directions) Is this an authentic racket... (it has the red dot.. the "W" faces the right way and the inside of the handles look fine

My husband and I recently got an insurance quote from agent Nathan Bunty.

Nathan screwed up our paperwork by putting the wrong date on the policy and blamed it on us! He said it was a hassle to change the date...

Dilworth Loco Daze gets healthy
DILWORTH - Dilworth's Loco Daze will offer attendees a little more than the usual fair fare this year: a chance at a healthy lifestyle.
Organizers will hold the first Health and Wellness Fair on Tuesday as a way for Dilworth and surrounding residents to learn about different services available in the community, said Dilworth City Councilman Ryan Mullkin.
"It's just free information to let people know that there are services out there for them," Mullkin said.
Loco Daze, an annual city-sponsored festival that runs today through Saturday, will feature a variety of events each day. For more information, visit www.cityofdilworth.com/category/events.
The Health and Wellness Fair will feature more than 30 informational booths at the Dilworth Community Center.
"We have everything from the Alzheimer's Association to senior transportation, chiropractors ... and organic health, you name it," said Denise Anderson, the provider relations coordinator at Serenity Assisted Living in Dilworth, the city's co-sponsor for the event.
Although Serenity focuses on senior living, Anderson said organizers tried to provide a wide array of booths.
"We didn't just want to stick with elder heath. We wanted a whole continuum of overall wellness," Anderson said.
Attendees also can get free blood pressure checks, and a registered nurse will be available to answer health-related questions at an "ask-a-nurse" booth.
Eric Bergeson, an author from Fertile, Minn., will be the featured speaker at 10 a.m., followed by a free lunch for the first 250 attendees. Ron Evans of Ulen will provide musical entertainment.
If you go
* What: Dilworth Health and Wellness Fair
* When: 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday
* Where: Dilworth Community Center, 709 1st Ave. N.W.
* Info: The fair is free and open to the public. The first 250 people will receive a free lunch. For more information on Loco Daze events, visit www.cityofdilworth.com/category/events.

4240 La Jolla Village Drive, La Jolla
Characters Bar and Grill at La Jolla Marriott
Rotate partners through an hourlong free salsa lesson at Characters Bar and Grill in the La Jolla Marriot — it's like speed-dating, only cheaper. People of all ages and ethnicities come to shake their bon bon and body roll all over strangers during the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday Salsa Nights (Friday and Saturday tend to be more lively). Six-dollar drink specials will loosen you up. At 8:30 p.m., you hit the floor. A professional salsa dancer teaches a group of about 30 people the steps of an entire dance. Occasional Saturday nights feature performances, and every third Friday a live band plays. Bring your parking ticket to the bar for validation. Evelio hosts other events in San Diego, along with his promo company, Rumba Entertainment (see rumbaentertainment.com for more info).
3936 30th Street, North Park
The Office
Cue the laser bleeps, airhorn, and riddim rewinds every Monday at the Office with Dub Dynamite, hosted by DJs Rashi and Eddie Turbo. For nearly a decade now, this weekly event (formerly held at Bar Dynamite) has clashed cutting-edge electronic bass and dub tracks with old-school steppers, dancehall, and roots reggae spun on vintage 45s and dubplates. Add $4 beer specials, $6 Cazadores shots, and $5 signature cocktails until 9:00 p.m., and you've got a Jahsome dance party straight out of Rockers. Get irie to kindred vibrations on Sunday nights with Rashi's crew, Tribe of Kings. Yes I!
4696 30th Street, University Heights(No longer in business.)
Moonshake at Kadan
Twice a month — on first and third Fridays at Kadan 9:00 p.m.–2:00 a.m. —Moonshakes' dance scene is filled with party people who trust they'll hear quality DJ sets that don't rely on typical club hits and predictable '80s/'90s retro. The Moonshakers (Mark E. Quark, Dr. Indulgent, and Bob Dazzla) spin "future disco, spacey house, and techy grooves," and are looking to create a good time: there is no cover charge. The result is a sweaty dance-floor smorgasbord filled with good vibes and drunken debauchery — sometimes even involving the potted plants on the floor. An outside sound system provided by Rawness usually accompanies Moonshake, for that added low-end boost. facebook.com/moonshakesd
Many bars in TJ may have given up on catering to tourists, but Porky's (Calle Sexta #210, corner of Avenida Revolución) seems to have reeled in various scattered American partiers who ignore the propaganda. The old Porky's was one-tenth the size of this newer two-story powerhouse, with pig-shaped windows, chairs, and a pink furry passageway. Tables cover most of the layout, so you can put your cheap drink down and dance with your glass within arm's reach. Pockets of pure dance space exist by the DJ booth, which mostly spews American '80s and '90s jams. porkysplace.com.mx
1051 University Avenue, Hillcrest
Rich's is the Beatles of gay dance clubs in San Diego. The huge floor gets packed, sweaty, and sometimes ridiculous. Due to the sheer number of attendees, there's an inevitable mix of styles and ages, though many folks seem to be in their prime. Ample security politely keeps things legal and maintains a safe environment. There are regular go-go dance competitions on Wednesdays and a consistent ladies' night on Thursdays with hourly bartender performances. Rich's occasionally offers "military" nights and "what-the-fuck" nights, which include live musical performances.
1271 University Avenue, Hillcrest(No longer in business.)
SD Union
Two years ago, drum-and-bass emcee Tyler "Ridda" Rosier teamed up with Ruby Room co-owner Sean Cute — a veteran junglist himself — to curate SD Union. The monthly event started as a response to feelings of division among genres and crews in the expanding electronic-music scene. Now, it's an explosive commemoration of what Ridda calls the "golden years of drum and bass in San Diego" (around 2005) interspersed with hip-hop, breaks, house, and dubstep. Backed by Deep's reinforced sound system, SD Union has featured out-of-town headliners, including Maximum Moves, Circuit and Wizard, Machete, and drum-and-bass legend AK1200.
3925 Ohio Street, North Park
Swing and Salsa at Queen Bee's
For a more low-key, all-ages dance scene, check out weekly sessions and classes at this artistic center in North Park. Attendance can be 100-plus, but no alcohol is involved. Salsa and bachata (a Dominican dance style) lessons every Sunday night at 7:30 are followed by a DJ'd session that lasts until midnight; $10 with or without the lesson, $8 for students. Wednesday-night swing-dancing starts with a class at 7:30; open dance begins at 9:00; $15, $12 for students.
4125 El Cajon Boulevard, City Heights
You've probably seen Vallarta's vintage cobblestone façade along El Cajon Boulevard in City Heights and wondered what goes on in there. You may have pictured half-drunk vaqueros leering from a hazy bar, out past the pool tables and into a spacious dancehall. You may have envisioned women in flowing dresses and men in white cowboy hats, their jeans held up by gigantic, glistening buckles, dancing to traditional norteño bands as a hole-in-the-wall kitchen dishes out steaming street-style tacos. If so, felicidades! You're correct. Vallarta is a ghost town by day, a dance party by night. Cheap beer. Good food. No sandals allowed.
1921 Bacon Street, Ocean Beach
Since fall of 2009, Ocean Beats has been showcasing big-bass bangers from prominent local and national artists who specialize in dubstep, glitch, experimental, IDM, hip-hop, acid-crunk, and everything in between (iLL.Gates, MartyParty, Freq Nasty, Kraddy, etc.). A joint venture of the Madero Group — the managing agency behind notables such as Ana Sia, David Starfire, Samples, and Eliot Lipp — and bass-music veterans SUBLMNL Sound System (Austin Speed and CRMNL), Ocean Beats regularly hits capacity at O.B.'s premier hippie hideaway — Winstons. They've also hosted one-offs at the Belly Up Tavern, Ruby Room, and the Del Mar Marriot.
This TJ dance club is a mighty multi-leveled identity search for coming-of-age locals. The third story has the dance scene, with a floor that easily holds 300 people. On weekends, it's packed late into the night. Of course, late in TJ means 1:00 a.m. Self-proclaimed as an "electronic bar," the place is outfitted with lasers and DJs oozing electro out of the therapeutic subwoofers and massive speakers. From time to time, Ese' & Zain DJ here (Nathan Joyner of All Leather, and Mike Delgato). You might find couples casually grinding on the sidelines; at this place, everyone checks out everyone else. facebook.com/YouRevolutionRPM
4612 Park Boulevard, University Heights
Bourbon Street
The dance scene here on Saturday nights has a younger Hillcrest feel, the vibe silly, cordial, and politically correct. The layout is divided into sections, so there's plenty of space to talk during dance breaks.
After a night of drinking and shakin' it, you might consider walking five establishments up to El Zarape. That'll help you sober up before driving home.

A Morristown business on the cusp of celebrating its one-year anniversary is now taking steps to repair damage from flames that destroyed the food truck about a week ago.

Trent used Kickstarter to upload a homemade video and launch website for a fundraising campaign.
"We had one little kitchen fire that destroyed the whole place. But that shouldn't stop us," said Trent in the video.

Forty Eighth Report on The Lok Pal Bill, 2011
The report includes a specific recommendation to categorically have a statutory provision imparting genuine independence to the CBI by declaring, for the first time, that it shall not be subject, on the merits of any investigation, to either the administrative Ministry or the Lokpal. Secondly, it separates, for the first time, investigation from prosecution, thereby strengthening each and making each more professional and objective, apart from initiating for the first time, the creation of a premier prosecution department under the Lokpal. Thirdly, the Selection Committee, for the first time, includes a joint nominee of the three major constitutional post holders. Fourthly, Lokayuktas and the Lokpal are, for the first time, sought to be subsumed under a common enactment. Fifthly, constitutional status is sought to be conferred, again for the first time, not only upon the Lokpal institution but also upon the proposed Grievances Redressal body. Sixthly, the Report recommends abolition of all sanctions, by whatever name called. Finally, the CVC is, for the first time , made responsible for the large chunk of class C employees, with a supra added reporting requirement to the Lokpal. [Report Rajya Sabha].

What Airlines Offer Bereavement Fares?
Sometimes the death of a family member results in last-minute air travel with tickets purchased at steep prices. Some airlines offer discount bereavement or compassion fares that can make this situation less expensive. However, policies and the discount amount vary based on the airline. In some cases, the bereavement fare might not be the best price available, so compare other rates before purchase. The bereavement policies of a few major airlines reflect the airline industry as a whole.
Continental Airlines offers compassion fares for either a death or a serious illness that requires hospitalization or hospice care for immediate family members. When purchasing the ticket, you must provide the name of the deceased, their relationship to you, contact information for the funeral home, hospice or hospital handling arrangement, and the name of his doctor, if applicable. The deceased or ill family member must be your husband, wife, parent, sibling, aunt, uncle, child, grandchild, grandparent, niece or nephew. Step-, half-, and foster-relatives, as well as domestic partners, are also included.
Call Delta Reservation Sales to receive a bereavement fare, as discounted prices are not available online. The fares are available in the case of a family death or imminent death, and you must provide the deceased's name, relationship and the contact information for a funeral home, hospital or hospice. Family members who qualify include your spouse, child, sibling, grandparent, parent, aunt or uncle, niece or nephew, in-laws, step-family and fiance. You must travel within three days of ticket purchase for domestic flights and seven days for international.
American Airlines
American Airlines offers a compassion fare for those traveling due to a death or medical emergency for a family member or domestic partner. You can book the tickets only through the airline, and you must complete the travel within one day of booking. In 2003, American Airlines began offering compassion fares to relatives and friends of soldiers listed as dead, injured, missing in action or prisoners of war. You can travel to visit the soldier or a family member. For qualifications and restrictions regarding all compassion fares, contact the airline.
United Airlines
United Airlines offers a 10 percent discount off any published fare for tickets when traveling to obtain medical treatment or in the case of a seriously ill, injured or deceased family member. You must complete the travel within six days of purchase. These fares are only available by calling United Reservations, but the booking fee that normally accompanies such ticket purchases will be waived. In order to qualify, the family member must be a spouse, partner, child, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew. This guideline applies to biological, adoptive, step, in-law and foster family members. When purchasing a ticket, you must state the reason for your travel, the family member who is deceased or ill, the contact information for a hospice, hotel or funeral home.

Bulls try to pull even with Wizards
DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bulls' resolve is being tested once again.
They trail the Washington Wizards 1-0 in their first-round playoff series after blowing a 13-point lead in the opener and will try to pull even on Tuesday.
Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau says the way the Wizards played down the stretch shows how good they are.
Despite losing Derrick Rose to another season-ending knee injury and trading Luol Deng, no team in the Eastern Conference won more games after New Year's Eve than Chicago. But it was Washington grabbing the lead with Sunday's opener. The fifth-seeded Wizards rallied from 13 down to beat Chicago 102-93, and they might have opened a few eyes in the process.

International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) reported audited consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2013 posting revenue from port operations of US$852.4 million, an increase of 17 percent over the US$729.3 million reported for the same period the previous year, Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) of US$377.3 million, 23 percent higher than the US$307.6 million generated last year, and net income attributable to equity holders of the parent of US$172.4 million, up 20 percent compared to the US$143.2 million earned in 2012. The higher net income attributable to equity holders of the parent in 2013 was mainly due to strong revenue growth and margin improvement in certain key terminals and the contribution from the new terminal in Karachi, Pakistan. Diluted earnings per share for the period was likewise higher by 22 percent at US$0.071 from US$0.058 in 2012.
ICTSI handled consolidated volume of 6,309,840 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) for the year ended December 31, 2013, 12 percent more than the 5,628,021 TEUs handled in 2012. The increase in volume was mainly due to the continuous growth in international and domestic trade in most of the Company's terminals; new shipping lines and routes; full year contribution of new terminals, PT Olah Jasa Andal (PT OJA) and Pakistan International Container Terminal (PICT), which were consolidated in August 2012 and October 2012, respectively; and the start of commercial operations of new terminals, Contecon Manzanillo S.A. de C.V. (CMSA) and Operadora de Puerto Cortés, S.A. de C.V. (OPC), beginning November 2013 and December 2013, respectively. Excluding the volume contribution from the four new terminals and the effect of the cessation of the operations in Syria effective January 2013, organic volume growth increased by two percent. The Company's seven key terminal operations in Manila, Brazil, Poland, Madagascar, China, Ecuador and Pakistan accounted for 78 percent of the Group's consolidated volume in the 2013.
Gross revenues from port operations in 2013 surged 17 percent to US$852.4 million from the US$729.3 million reported in 2012. The increase in revenues was mainly due to volume growth, higher storage revenues and ancillary services, tariff rate increases in certain key terminals, full year contribution of the terminal operations in Karachi, Pakistan and Jakarta, Indonesia, and inclusion of the new terminals in Manzanillo, Mexico and Puerto Cortes, Honduras. Excluding the revenues from the newly acquired terminals and the effect of the cessation of the operations in Tartous, Syria, organic revenue growth was at seven percent. The Group's seven key terminal operations in Manila, Brazil, Poland, Madagascar, China, Ecuador and Pakistan accounted for 84 percent of the Group's consolidated revenues in 2013.
Consolidated cash operating expenses in 2013 grew 13 percent to US$359.5 million from US$318.9 million in 2012. The increase was driven by higher volume-related expenses (i.e., on-call labor, fuel, power and repairs and maintenance), government-mandated and contracted salary rate increases in certain terminals, higher business development expenses as the Company pursued a number of opportunities within the year, full-year impact of the expenses of PICT and PT OJA, and the inclusion of the expenses of new terminals, CMSA and OPC. Excluding the cash operating expenses of the new terminals as well as the expenses incurred in the Company's operation in Syria in the same period in 2012, total cash operating expenses would have increased by only three percent.
Consolidated EBITDA for 2013 increased 23 percent to US$377.3 million from US$307.6 million in 2012 mainly due to volume growth and stronger revenues arising from favorable volume mix, higher revenues from storage and ancillary services, tariff increases in certain key terminals, and full year contribution from the Company's terminal operation in Karachi, Pakistan. Excluding the impact of four new terminals in Pakistan, Indonesia, Mexico and Honduras, as well as the effect of the cessation of the terminal operations in Tartous, Syria in 2012, organic EBITDA growth is at 12 percent. Meanwhile, consolidated EBITDA margin increased to 44 percent in 2013 compared to 42 percent in 2012.
Consolidated financing charges and other expenses for 2013 increased 38 percent to US$48.2 million from US$35.0 million in 2012 due mainly to higher outstanding interest-bearing debt. ICTSI issued US$400 million of 10-year bonds in January 2013 mainly to fund its capital expenditure program for 2013 and refinance medium-term loans, and its subsidiaries in Ecuador, Poland and Croatia availed of term loans locally.
ICTSI's capital expenditure in 2013 amounted to US$477.6 million against a full year capital expenditure budget of US$550.0 million. Last year's capital expenditure was mainly attributed to the development of new container terminals in Mexico, Argentina and Colombia; capacity expansion in its terminal operation in Croatia; and the Company's newly acquired terminal in Honduras. The Group's capital expenditure budget for 2014 is approximately US$310.0 million mainly allocated for the completion of phase one development in the Company's new container terminals in Mexico and Argentina, and to start the development of the terminals in Honduras and Democratic Republic of Congo. This does not include the Company's share in the joint venture project with PSA International Pte Ltd. (PSA) for the development of the container terminal in Buenaventura, Colombia which for 2014 is approximately US$120.0 million.

This high-strung camp fest from playwrights Tim Wilkins and Kevin Remington opens 15 years ago at the famous Towers Circus. Ringmaster and circus owner Miranda Towers (drag artist Wilkins) discovers her hubby (Andrew Ableson) in flagrante delicto with a sultry high-wire dancer (Kimberly Lewis), flips out, and chops both up with an ax. Years pass, and Miranda, abruptly released from the loony bin, returns to retake the reins of her beloved circus. But shortly after she arrives, circus performers start dying off-or being killed-in creepy and suspicious ways, the suspicion falling on a certain supposedly reformed ax murderess drag queen.
On paper, Wilkins and Remington's comedy sounds like it should be an imaginative tour de force along the lines of, say, one of Charles Busch's over-the-top drag plays. What could be a more potentially outrageous spectacle than the site of an ax murderess drag queen running a circus full of neurotics and perverts? The outrageousness and the laughs ought to come nonstop.
Unfortunately, though, something doesn't quite click here. The majority of the blame must be attributed to Remington's dismayingly maladroit direction, which lacks any awareness of comic timing: Gag lines are trampled--or ignored entirely--while possibly hilarious shtick is enacted with a hesitancy and tentativeness that suggests performers who don't have faith in the material.
The cast ranges from competent to downright awkward. Ableson tackles his several characters with daffy gusto and versatility, as does Corinne Dekker in multiple standout roles, including the circus' ill-fated lesbian human cannonball and Miranda's daughter. However, as the circus ringmaster, Wilkins cuts a peculiarly uninspiring figure that lacks the larger-than-life "je ne 'drag' quois" we expect from such characters. Jackie Beat and Lypsinka need not lose sleep worrying about competition.
This stuff needs to be presented with gusto and shameless broadness to be successful. Here the staging is slipshod, with awkward blocking and clumsy line readings. The exception to the overall sloppiness occurs during the amusing scenes when characters are murdered by the fiendish killer: In a noticeable departure from the mood of the rest of the work, these sequences are staged with puppets, allowing for maximum cartoonish violence and gore. These moments are downright hilarious, and we can only wish that the rest of the show hit the same bizarre and unerring notes of whacked-out campiness.

Use The Disks Utility In Ubuntu 14.04
When using Ubuntu, there are many different ways to manage your disks, both your hard drives and your removable drives. However, there is one centralized location where you can manage all the drives connected to your computer. Using the Disks utility, you can format, eject, and view the used space on all your drives from one application.
To launch the Disks utility, summon the Dash by hitting the SUPER key or click on the Dash icon at the top of the Launcher. Once the Dash appears, type "disks" into the search field, and then click on the Disks icon when it appears. Ubuntu will then launch the Disks utility.
The Disks utility has two panes in its window. The left-hand pane lists all the drives, both internal and removable, connected to your computer. The right-hand pane displays details about whichever drive is currently selected in the right-hand pane.
The right-hand pane will show the type of drive, and the volumes upon the drive. It will also display the serial number, the total size of the disk, and the amount of free space upon the drive. Additionally, it will list the serial number and the health status – if Ubuntu detects problems with the disk, it will display them here.
In the upper right-hand corner of the right-hand pane, you will see a gear button. Click on the button, and the Disks utility will list the available actions for that drive. Usually they include ejecting the drive, formatting the drive, and creating a disk image based upon the contents of the drive. Finally, if the drive is removable, there will be an Eject button next to the gear button. Clicking on the Eject button will unmount the drive so you can safely remove it from your computer.

NO! That is illegal. Clock starts on date you went delinquent, not date someone bought the loan. Otherwise, the dates would never expire because these things get sold all the time.

when the debt was sold, it is now considered a new debt with a different creditor so it will be there another 6 1/2 years.

CRM Cost. What is the optimal way to evaluate Salesforce Costs and Microsoft CRM Costs? How can business owners best contrast solutions such as Sage ACT, Salesforce.com, Microsoft Dynamics CRM, SugarCRM, Sage CRM, SalesLogix? Salesforce Cost. Evaluating the proper CRM Cost for each organization includes many important factors. One of these is the Total cost of ownership. That said, the value of TCO grows when you take into account the life cycle of the actual CRM deployment. Salesforce has proven itself to be a very professional firm as well as a great provider of CRM systems. Yet the greatest knock is whether the Salesforce Cost is too high. Microsoft CRM Costs. Selecting a low priced CRM system, entry-level CRM system may at first appear to be the smart choice. Yet if that software solution is not able to grow as your business grows, the investment can become more expensive in the long run. While certain CRM packages appear to be licensed at a specific price, please do yourself a favor and ask the right questions about any additional fees to integrate that CRM software with other solutions, or for mobile integration. Microsoft Dynamics CRM has come in with very competitive pricing. They are clearly targeting Salesforce defectors. Their ambition is market share and they are achieving this with Microsoft CRM Costs that makes them competitive – even with other great products such as Sugar and Sage ACT. With the abundance of comparison options available in the world of CRM, the list below contains the keys for choosing the appropriate CRM for your organization.

Yesterday, Damien Hirst's new series of paintings No Love Lost, Blue Paintings opened at The Wallace Collection. Created between 2006 and 2008, the series marks Hirst's return to painting. Twenty five works in total make up the exhibition. Included are two triptychs. The series will be on view through January 24, 2010.
The Guardian has pronounced the paintings "deadly dull." More images appear after the jump, so you may then make your own assessment. (via Arrested Motion).

MIAMI - It seems it really pays to be a babysitter these days.
Sitters are now making an average of $12 an hour across the country, according to a Labor Department study, which was first reported by the Boston Globe.
That's much higher than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
The study cited several reasons for the higher sitter rates: Both parents in more and more households are now working.
Also, because high school students are more consumed by SAT prep or community service to make themselves more marketable to colleges, their time has become more limited.
And because of the weak job markets, more college students and recent graduates are making themselves available for sitter work, albeit at a higher price.

|Ellen's mantle all decorated for Ostara
To begin you are going to want to hard boil your eggs. The best way I have ever found to do this is to put the eggs in the pot, cover them with cool water and bring the eggs to a boil. Cover the pot with a lid, and remove it from heat. Allow the eggs to stay in the pot, covered for 12 minutes. Then remove them from the water and let them sit out on a towel to dry and to cool off. (Perfectly cooked eggs- every time!)
I allowed the eggs to thoroughly cool (about 2 hours) and after I came back from the gym this morning, I hit the showers, got human, and prepared to start coloring the eggs.
To start you will need one cup boiling water and 2 tsps. of vinegar-- per each color that you want to achieve. To make the soft brown eggs, I actually brewed up some plain Lipton tea and cut one of the bags open- then added the vinegar to the mug I used to hold the egg dye. The vinegar helps to set the color. I measured out the vinegar into the mugs first, then I carefully poured the boiling water into each thick mug
So then- 1 cup boiling water + 2 teaspoons white vinegar + 15 drops of food coloring. In each mug. (Or use two tea bags in a mug for brown).
I used about 15 drops of blue in one mug, and 10 drops of green with 4 drops of blue to get a soft robin's egg blue in a second mug.
See to the left one blue and blue green egg drying on a towel and the brown eggs being dyed in the mug.
To the right, here are the eight eggs I did, drying on paper towels and tea towels. Once they were dry I mixed up some non-toxic acrylic craft paint to a medium brown color and splattered the dyed and now dry eggs with the brown paint. That gave them a more realistic look.
And here are a few of the finished eggs in a cute little antique pottery bowl on my kitchen counter. I can't decide which color I like better, the blue or the blue-green. Of course I love brown eggs anyway- here in the Midwest brown eggs are more expensive than white eggs. So I thought this soft golden brown was pretty. But best of all these decorated eggs look more like the real birds eggs you would find in nature- they are just larger. Also don't forget to keep your hard boiled eggs in the fridge after you are finished decorating and dying them.
Finally here is a snazzy picture on the right my daughter took for me. One of these days I have to have her teach me how she uses filters and such on her iPhone. It only took me about 15 minutes to figure out how to get the picture from my facebook to the blog. (sigh). Damn you technology...
In closing, this year I wrote the Ostara ritual for the 2013 Sabbat Almanac for Llewellyn this year. If you would like some ideas for celebrating the sabbat, a ritual for Ostara, and more information on the Bird Goddess- who I think I very appropriate for this sabbat anyway- check it out!
Don't forget my book Seasons of Witchery- for even more ideas and magick for your all of your sabbat celebrations! Here is a direct link to amazon.com to pick up a copy. http://www.amazon.com/Seasons-Witchery
I wish you all a blessed and bright Spring and an enchanting Vernal Equinox!
