Charles Moore wrote a column not long ago in Britain's Daily Telegraph so politically incorrect as to take my breath away.
The former editor of the newspaper was reflecting on the opening of a museum exhibition that documented the history of slavery; in his column he wondered if the day might come when a similar exhibition would open dealing with abortion. He imagined it depicting how "... in one ward, staff were trying to save the lives of premature babies while, in the next ward, they were killing them."
The exhibition, he thought, might "... display the various instruments that were used to remove and kill the fetus, rather as the manacles and collars of slaves can be seen today." He ended his column by saying: "With the passage of time, abortion, especially late term abortion, is slowly coming to be seen as a 'solution' dating from an era that is passing. It will therefore be discredited."
It is doubtful that Mr. Moore's column could have been published in Canada. What Canadian newspaper would want to join Mark Steyn and Maclean's magazine in the dock before a human rights kangaroo court for publishing something that might ruffle the delicate sensibilities of an Osgoode Hall student? No, no ... not in Canada.
But what about Mr. Moore's crystal ball and his museum exhibition on abortion, could that happen?
Until recently, I would have said no.
Through most of my decades as an active member of the pro-life movement, I was pessimistic about the prospect of making any real difference: The Canadian pro-life story is one of unbroken parliamentary and judicial defeats.
Recently, however, and rather to my surprise, I have become more hopeful. Although not yet ready to join Charles Moore in predicting that abortion will some day acquire the odium of slavery, there are three reasons, looking ahead, for at least modest optimism.
First, thanks to ultrasound, sonography, and similar medical advances in fetal imaging and treatment, no rational person any longer denies the humanity of the unborn.
In the early days, abortion advocates used to say that a fetus was just a blob of tissue, so abortion had no greater moral significance than, say, an appendectomy. Medical advances mean that those days, and those arguments, are gone forever.
Second, recent studies suggest that the younger generation (those under 30) are more opposed to abortion than their parents were. At least in the United States, where anti-consensus thinking is not yet either a crime or a human rights violation, young women in particular seem to be more strongly pro-life than one could have hoped. Just why this is so is the subject for another column, but it is the reality, not the reasons, that is most intriguing.
In fact, after rising for decades, the number of abortions performed annually in the U.S. has actually begun to decline. In 2003, the U.S. Congress passed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act. And on April 18, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld its validity in Gonzales v. Carhart, a decision that might be the first step in a gradual retreat from the infamous Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. All of these developments give grounds for hope.
Third, history suggests that systems constructed entirely upon lies cannot stand; one observes how the pro-abortion state must contort itself into ever more bizarre and despotic ways in order to sustain the abortion-related lies.
I retain a perhaps naive belief that at some moment, and without much forewarning, the whole edifice of abortion, like the Berlin Wall, will crumble and collapse before our eyes.
A museum exhibit - certainly not in my lifetime. But greater respect, and perhaps at least some minimal legal protection for the weakest, most vulnerable members of our society, the unborn - yes, a distinct possibility.

We've spent a lot of time talking about our marriages this month, so today we thought we'd turn the tables and look at some famous marriages from the Bible.
1. Abraham and Sarah
There is a lot I could say about this marriage, but I'm going to focus on the way Sarah trusted Abraham (and God). Their story starts with God telling Abraham to leave the city they were living in (Genesis 12). Today, couples move across the country and it's not a huge deal. We can still stay in touch with our family with phone calls, email, and visits, but back then, they were leaving their family, their culture, their people, and going to an unknown land. But in faith, Abraham and Sarah trusted God and his promise of blessing, and headed to a new land. Sarah is a great example of a wife submitting to her husband.
2. Jacob and Rachel (and Leah)
Again, there are a lot of things I could say about with this marriage, but I'm going to focus on Jacob's persistence and pursuit of Rachel. He went looking for a wife and when he saw Rachel, he knew she was the one for him (Genesis 29). He went on to work first 7 years in order to take her hand in marriage, only to be tricked by her father into marrying her older sister Leah first, so he worked an additional 7 years! I'm not saying their marriage was perfect, parts of it read like a modern-day soap opera! It's a good example of what can happen when you're not satisfied with what God has given you.
3. Boaz and Ruth
When the story starts Ruth is a widow (Ruth 1). And while this may have felt like the end for Ruth, it is only the beginning of the story. This is an awesome look at God's faithfulness and perfect provision when we trust him. Imagine losing your husband, and then following your mother-in-law back to her homeland. What Ruth didn't realize, was that in following her mother-in-law, God was leading her into the arms of Boaz, a Godly man, who would be her husband.
4. Esther and Ahasuerus
Esther won a beauty contest of sorts to become the wife of the king of the Persian empire (Esther 2). What the king didn't realize what that she was a Jew. I think it's safe to say that Esther didn't know what she was getting into when she married, but again, she trusted God (are you noticing a theme here?) and was blessed because of it. She ends up petitioning the king to save her people. My favorite verse in this story is Esther 4:14 "You have come to royal position for such a time as this" If you haven't read this story recently, check it out, it's a good read!
5. Mary and Joseph
Here's a great example of a husband (actually a fiance!) trusting his wife. I can't even begin to imagine what Adam's reaction would have been if when we were engaged I told him that an angel came to me and told me I was going to have a child. And not just any child, the Son of God! This is another awesome example of trusting God and not worrying about what other people think!
What's your favorite example of marriage in the Bible?

Shop Front Grants

You need to apply to Merton Council for the Grant and to find out whether you are eligible and for further details about the scheme and its requirements, download the Application Form and Guidance Note
Local Business Rates Relief
Business rates are taxes to help pay for local services. They are charged on non-domestic properties such as shops, factories and offices. Merton Council collect business rates on behalf of central government, who share out the money to all local authorities depending on their population.
To help small businesses there are two main ways to help reduce business rate bills – using a lower multiplier to calculate the bill and applying a discount to the bill depending on the rateable value. This help is called small business rate relief (SBRR) and you need to apply to receive this.
Rateable value up to £6000 – no rates payable
Rateable value between £6001 & £12,000 – tapered relief between 100% and 0%
Rateable value between £12,001 & £25,499 – Small Business Rate multiplier applies
Eligibility for SBRR is as detailed below, however, for additional help your rateable value must be £12,000 or below.
Eligible ratepayers will receive relief at 100 per cent on properties with rateable values of not more than £6 000 with a tapered relief of between 100 per cent and 0 per cent for properties with rateable values between £6001 and £12,000.
The changes are summarised below with effect from 31 March 2017:
|Rateable value (RV)
|Max SBRR
|Min SBRR
|Sliding scale
|up to £6000
|£6001 to £12,000
100% minus 2% for every £120 of RV above £6000
How to Apply
You need only apply once for SBRR. Providing certain defined circumstances do not change you will not be required to make a further application. See Reporting changes for more information. The relief can be granted from the date the property enters the Rating List anytime throughout the year, you can apply for the relief immediately and do not have to wait until the next financial year to apply.
Local Business Rates Discount Scheme
Business rates retention has given Merton Council the discretion to introduce local discounts for business rates for the first time. This new relief can be used on individual cases or as part of a wider strategy to enhance or encourage business to occupy empty premises in Merton. The aim of the local discount scheme is to:
Support the attraction of new businesses (and the associated investment and jobs) into the borough, particularly into the East and other part of the borough undergoing regeneration
Help reduce the number of empty premises and thereby reverse the physical and economic decline of areas associated with high levels of vacant premises
Help increase Council income generated from business rate in the medium and long term.
General scheme
The scheme is aimed at small to medium businesses with a rateable value of £6,500 or above who occupy or re-locate within the borough or for existing businesses expanding within the borough. The discount will run for a fixed period within the financial year and can be awarded for up to two years but any discount in year two can be no more than 50% of the discount awarded in year one.
A business can apply at any time but can only benefit from the discount up until the end of financial year and the level of discount awarded can be between 20% and 100% of the rates for a given period. The scheme will initially target Mitcham, Morden and Colliers Wood areas – focusing on:
- Mitcham town centre
- Willow Lane Industrial Estate (Mitcham)
- Colliers Wood High Street
- Merton High Street
- South Wimbledon Industrial Estate

Berkeley Travel Blog› entry 1 of 8 › view all entries
SO i have 17 days to go and i dont feel as ready as i would like. I have been doing my italian lessons (Radio Lingua Podcast..good stuff) although not as much as i would like. I have not yet sent my art supplies but hopefuly i will be doing that today. I need to make sure i have the right luggage as well. My mom seems to think i need something with wheels and i am now seeing that that would be a good idea since i iwill be spending so much time in the airport. I am mostly just worried about my time after Italy. I am done with the Art program on the 29th of August and then i will be going to meet 3 of my roommates in Amsterdam, but after that i have no idea where i am saying, who i am staying with, who i will meet, or how much i will have to spend. I kno i want to go from Italy --> Amsterdam--> France--> Spain--> and UK. All i kno is i need to end up in London on the 11th of September.
So if anyone has any advice concerning the following, i would appreciate it:
-Luggage for backpacking
-Cheap travel within Europe
-Good places to stay in the above prefered countries
-fun things to do all around
-anuone who has no itinerary and wants to join me...:)

Karlie Kloss is L'Oréal's newest face, Taylor Swift's dearest friend, and—true to the rumors—she'll be hanging up her Victoria's Secret Angel wings this fall to matriculate at New York University.
"That's right," Kloss confirmed backstage at Isabel Marant's autumn/winter fashion show. "I'm starting as a freshman at Gallatin," she said, name checking the NYU independent study program that boasts Anne Hathaway and Rooney Mara as alumna. (Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen also attended briefly, and Dakota Fanning is currently enrolled.)
But why go to university if Kloss is already a career superstar?
"The more I travel, the more I realize I have so much to learn about the world," answered the 22-year-old. "I'm such a nerd about science and math, did you know that?" (No!) "And history, culture, languages...Traveling so much has made me realize, I have to invest in myself. And that's what education is, I think: a great investment in me. And I need to find a balance between that and my career, so that's my project for winter."
With a laugh, I ask the barely-legal blonde what she wants to do when she grows up.
"Oh," she grins, "I'm going to continue working as a model. I want to do it all! And I think it's possible to keep working while you go to school. Christy Turlington did it. Natalie Portman did it. Emma Watson just did it! And those are just women in the public eye, but plenty of others do it, too. You know, women around the world are great at multitasking. We do it well."
Case in point: In between walking for Marant, Balmain, and Mugler, Kloss ran the Paris half-marathon for charity. "I've grown up doing the shows, in a sense," she shrugs, "I like being a part of the shows, the adrenaline, and seeing the collections before anyone else, wearing them before anyone else, knowing I'm part of a designer's vision—I really enjoy that... but it's such a part of my year now, walking spring and winter. Maybe I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't do [the runways]!"
Well, then she could hang out with the Taylor / Lena / Cara / Haim #GirlGang... wait, is there still a #GirlGang? Is Karlie still in it?
"Girls are stronger in numbers," Kloss smiles slyly. "So, yes. I believe girls should stick together whenever possible."


text: How do network or connect with other LCO's in your area to work together with jobs. Do many people do this? I get between 3-5 jobs each week that I can't take. Either they are too far away from other jobs to make it worth my while, or they want a specific day and I am full or they want it done that day and I am full ect ect. I would love to pass these jobs along to good guys that would in turn do the same for me. I have no clue how too hook up with guys like this though, the network forum is a ghost town. I have thought about maybe stopping a random guy going down the road but that's not really my style. My other thought has been emailing one or two others that I see their advertisements. In a perfect world I would find 1 or 2 guys on the different sides of town that I could send people too and when they got calls from my side of town they'd hook me up. Whats worked for you?

Autumn in New YorkSaturday, October 12th, 2013
Autumn is one of my most favorite times of the year. The color of the sun through the leaves is not to be believed. And that is to say nothing of the fall bounty of harvest favorites. I've been eating fruits and vegetables of every variety. They never taste as good as right now.
Writing news:
I received my contact from Harlequin for the three-book Western historical deal. That makes the deal seem more real. I've finished my Western Christmas novella and sent that to my editor. I don't expect readers will see this story until next fall, but here is a little about the story for you fans.
She's the wealthy debutant tired of rich, useless men. He's a saddle bum that fell for her hard. Now Christmas and his orphaned nephews' welfare make this cowboy desperate enough to do something he's never done before, admit he needs help.
Before I jump into the next Western Historical, I'm doing so reading of original documents. Specifically George Catlin's Letters and Notes on the North American Indians. For those of you unfamiliar with Catlin, he was an American painter who traveled widely in the Western United States painting portraits and landscapes of Native Americans in the 1830s. Some of his work can be seen in the Smithsonian and the American Museum of Natural History in New York. I'm also reading about the southwest under Spanish rule. I wonder where these research expeditions will lead me?
Public Appearance:
I will be in New Jersey this month at the New Jersey Romance Writer's Conference. I hope to see many of you there.
Or follow me on Facebook or Twitter.
My Books: Pre-release GiveawaysSunday, February 10th, 2013
A nice surprise arrived in the mail this week. My April paranormal release from Nocturne appeared on my doorstep. Beauty's Beast is the fourth and final in The Tracker series and although it won't hit the shelves until April 2, you can get a first release copy by entering my GoodReads contest. I'll be running one every two weeks until April.
I also received a smaller box of copies of my UK edition of this month's Western Historical release, The Texas Ranger's Daughter. The cover looks nearly identical except for two slight differences, the Harlequin Historical logos are not the same and the American release has a catch phrase under the title, reading: The one woman he can't have. Well, I thought those were the only differences until I tried to put them all in the same box and discovered the UK book is bigger than the North America release.
The books are tucked into my office but I'll be bringing some to Lady Jane's Salon in NYC for giveaways on April 1st. If you're in the NYC area, mark your calendars. I'd love to share the evening with my fans.
Writing is Easy, Editing is HardSunday, September 30th, 2012
An older cowboy sits on horseback beside a young buck and quickly estimates the number of cows passing by. Impressed, the younger cowboy asks how the older man calculated the number so quickly.
"Easy. Just count the hooves and divide by four."
That's how easy it is to write a novel. You just write four times the material you need. You take down research, character sketches and backstory, write the first draft and by the time you finish, you have a better idea what the story is about, what the theme might be and what should be included in the character's story arc.
Then you just have to divide by four and cut out all the writing that doesn't support what you've discovered. Oh, and then you have to add what is missing based on the knowledge you gleaned from writing the first draft.
Like the older cowboy said, "Easy."

Unfit to work but too fit for help
A recovering anorexic who was deemed unfit for a job she applied for was then told she was not eligible for benefits as she was too healthy, it has been revealed.
Nicola Hobbs, 19, from Hurstpierpoint, West Sussex, failed a routine health check needed to work at a council-run children's centre.
Without any source of income, she applied for employment support allowance only to be told she would not be able to get it as she had been assessed as being fit enough to work.
She said she was shocked to then find out the same healthcare company was contracted by the county council and the Department for Work and Pensions to carry out both health assessments.
She told the Daily Mail: "It's ridiculous that the same company can say two completely different things about the same person.
"I really wanted to get back to work - the last thing I wanted was to be sitting around at home claiming benefits, and I thought a job like this would help to build my confidence."
A spokeswoman for Atos Healthcare, which carried out the two assessments, said the two tests had different criteria.
She said: "We have a contract with the Department for Work and Pensions to conduct the medical assessments for people applying for the employment support allowance.
"The assessment was carried out in line with Government policy to assess whether a person is fit for work at all. The other assessment was a completely separate contract with West Sussex County Council for occupational health. It was done in line with protocol laid down by the council for that specific job. The two tests have different criteria."

I did some research on this bug. Alsa's web site suggested recent changes to the
libraries would make the ca0106 cards work. I grabbed the alsa driver,library
and kernel from Fedora 8 repo. Upon reboot and running system-config-sound sound
was functional with the Audigy SE card on Fedora 7. The latest alsa driver fixed
the problem.
> aplay: main:545: audio open error: Device or resource busy
Your card looks occupied by another application....
Anyway, alsa-drivers should be the same in f7 and f8. So do the f8 packages work
for you and the f7 ones don't?

this is the second log generated by alsa sound test!
Which version of ALSA works for you? The current fedora version is 1.0.15, the
latest is 1.0.16.
The information we've requested above is required in order
to review this problem report further and diagnose/fix the
issue if it is still present. Since there have not been any
updates to the report since thirty (30) days or more since we
requested additional information, we're assuming the problem
is either no longer present in the current Fedora release, or
that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem.
Setting status to "CLOSED INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you still
experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora
release and can provide the information previously requested,
please feel free to reopen the bug report.
Thank you in advance.
Note that maintenance for Fedora 7 will end 30 days after the GA of Fedora 9.

Allen & Overy (A&O) partners have voted in favour of taking on Clifford Chance's head of real estate funds and investment banking (Refib), Robert Porter.
As first revealed by The Lawyer on 1 March, A&O partners were voting on Porter's hire over the course of last week. The vote has now been completed and Porter has handed his resignation in to Clifford Chance.
A start date for Porter is still being negotiated, although it is understood that the likelihood is he will be able to join A&O within the next few weeks.
Porter joined Clifford Chance from CMS Cameron McKenna with fellow partner Arthur Dyson in 2000.
Porter was appointed to head up the Refib group when it was launched a year ago in an attempt to bridge the private equity and property practices. He specialises in the establishment of real estate funds, direct and indirect investments, equity financings and joint ventures.
Porter and Dyson advised Nomura Principle Finance Group (now Terra Firma Capital Partners) on the £1.9bn acquisition of Le Meridian Hotels in 2002.

The very British revolt is being organised by Stephen Potten, the president of the UK's first official Grumpy Club. Grumpy HQ is the 300-year-old Bishop Blaize pub in the market town of Romsey, Hampshire.
Mr Potten, 57, wants pubs all over Britain to form their own grumpy clubs, and liaise with him by writing to the Bishop Blaize in Winchester Road.
He said: "There is a plot in this country to stop people talking. Pubs, post offices, corner shops – all places where people talk, all going. Pubs are closing every day, post offices vanishing in their thousands, corner shops disappearing because of supermarkets.
"It's to ensure people have nowhere to communicate, so they can brainwash you into doing whatever you are told."
He added: "Pubs should have grumpy hours. Well, they're banning happy hours. We're all middle class binge drinkers now, apparently.
"And another thing, people have smoked in pubs for centuries. Now they ban it…"
"And another thing" is, naturally, the official Grumpy Club motto.
The Bishop Blaize Grumpy Club, meeting every Tuesday, was formed when regulars realised just how grumpy they were.
Mr Potten explained: "Not so long ago, if you asked someone for their view, they wouldn't have one.
"After the last disastrous ten years, though, everybody voices opinions. They are so fed up with being the butt of everything and having to pay for it through their taxes."
Occasionally assisted by (brave) guest speakers, the club has tackled big issues: Gordon Brown, the death penalty, Gordon Brown ("sadly not during the death penalty debate,"), beer prices, Gordon Brown ("well, he's disastrous isn't he?"). And grated cheese.
The Telegraph found Mr Potten on his Grumpy Box, railing against the evils of improperly served dairy produce.
El Presidente – as he is known in the pub – stood on a soap box bearing a picture of one of the few men he truly admires: Grumpy, out of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Mournfully surveying his audience - Big Ray, the brewery technician, Dapper Don, the marketing director, and 20 other regulars – he warned: "And another thing: grated cheese. I asked for a cheese sandwich this lunchtime. It came with grated cheese. More went on the floor than in my bleedin' mouth…"
His cheery greeting over, he signaled the start of the debate, on the topic: The Trouble with the Media. (They had seen us coming.)
Taking turns to hold the sacred 'poisoned chalice' - actually a key fob inscribed "Everyone's entitled to my opinion" – the regulars mounted the Grumpy Box and fulminated.
With the assistance of Messrs Ringwood Best and Adnams Explorer, there was little hesitation, much deviation.
"Everyone harps on about fuel prices," Neil Sheppard, 32, a tree surgeon, declared. "What about the price of beer?"
"He doesn't know whether to drink or drive," observed Stuart 'Macca McCormick, 45.
Eventually, it was sort of concluded that the media destroys winners, makes the nation dumber, and "You're all talking bloody nonsense." (Mr Sheppard again.)
For a Grumpy Club, there seemed a lot of laughter.
Mr Potten's sunken eyes suggested a life dedicated to genial cantankerousness. He tried insisting he doesn't delight in being grumpy, but confessed: "I love this country. Abroad, you know it's going to be sunny every day. Here, you can open the window and think: 'Jesus, there's frost on the car - in May.'"
Mr Potten, an ex-teacher who started an export business when 'modern' thinking diverged from his robust approach to classroom discipline, would have liked the wealth to form his own political party: "The Majority Party, for the 90 per cent who pay for everything through taxes."
Instead, he hopes the National Association of Grumpy Clubs can build on, but change, British tradition.
"We have a tradition of moaning, but fixing nothing. If we were French, we would be marching in the streets."
When the formal debate ended in the Bishop Blaize, informal discussion continued. The whole pub was soon deep in conversation, managing directors bantering with delivery drivers.
Mr Potten would have smiled at all he surveyed – but he had to stomp outside to smoke.
He muttered: "And another thing: why are they so determined to stop us smoking or drinking?"
Grumble noted, cigarette lit, he added: "There's a complete mix in there. All talking. By moaning, you create a community. They offer advice: 'Don't use him, he charges a fortune. See the bloke down the road.' People help each other. It's great."
The corners of Mr Potten's mouth engaged in curious upwards twitching. The President of the Grumpy Club remembered who he was. The mouth drooped to its default position.
"And another thing…"
Have your say: What makes you grumpy?

Coming soon! Equity Release
DomaCom is currently working towards an equity release product as part of the DomaCom Fund offering for Senior Australians.
DomaCom believes a fractional equity release product will be a viable alternative to the existing reverse mortgage model for Senior Australians because it will be based on an equity model rather than debt (which is the basis for the reverse mortgage model). Debt models are reliant on the availability of short term global cash to maintain funding, which is at odds with the longer term need of Seniors requiring equity release to fund retirement and aged care needs over the longer term.
The fractional model will also facilitate the incremental transfer of property wealth from one generation to another. Ultimately, Seniors will have the benefit of maintaining a reasonable standard of living and not being forced financially to sell and move coupled with a permanent right of residency in their home.
Funding sources for Senior Australians to meet Aged Care Needs
|Reverse Mortgage
|Equity Release
|Significant transaction costs
| Not well funded
| Well funded
|Lifestyle impact of relocating
| Minimal lifestyle impact
| Minimal lifestyle impact
|Uncertainty about residual equity
| Progressive sale of equity:
DomaCom's Equity Release – an elegant solution where the time horizons of both the Investors and the Seniors are more closely aligned.

Intelligence sources say Daesh ringleader fled Mosul to save his life
The leader of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group, Ibrahim al-Samarrai, also known as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, has reportedly fled Iraq's Mosul for his life, leaving the battle to the group's operational commanders.
US and Iraqi intelligence sources said an absence of official communication from the terrorist group's leadership and the loss of ground in Mosul might be proof that Baghdadi had left Mosul, the last major urban area controlled by Daesh in Iraq.
The sources said the Daesh ringleader is now hiding out in the desert. However, it is impossible to confirm his whereabouts.
The sources added that Baghdadi had proved to be an elusive target. The ringleader is rarely using communication that can be monitored, and moving constantly, often multiple times during a 24-hour period, they added.
According to the intelligence sources, Baghdadi is believed to be hiding mostly among well-disposed civilians in familiar desert villages and not with militants in their barracks in urban areas where battle has been under way.
The sources also suggested that Baghdadi and his circle had become increasingly isolated, citing a sharp decline in the terrorist group's postings on social media.
Mosul fell to Daesh in June 2014, shortly after the Takfiri terrorists unleashed a campaign of terror and destruction in the northern and western parts of Iraq.
Iraqi forces and allies liberated the eastern sector of the city in January, following 100 days of fighting. The forces are now in the middle of an operation to retake the western half of the city.
Since February 19, when the offensive to liberate western Mosul began, Iraqi forces have made major gains against the terrorists on Mosul's western front.
On Tuesday, Iraqi forces thwarted a Daesh counterattack near Mosul's main government buildings.
Major General Ali Kadhem al-Lami of the Federal Police's Fifth Division said the terrorists used car bombs in their attack around the Nineveh governorate building, adding, "Today we're clearing the area which was liberated."
The provincial government headquarters were recaptured by the elite interior ministry division, Rapid Response troops, on Tuesday, along with the central bank branch and a museum, which Lami said was "completely empty of all artifacts." "They were stolen, possibly smuggled," he added.
On Wednesday, Iraqi troops continued to advance in the region, taking control of the last major road linking the west of the city to the Daesh-held town of Tal Afar and then to the Syrian border.
State TV also quoted another military statement as saying that forces also seized Badush prison, northwest of Mosul near the road, where Daesh reportedly executed hundreds of inmates in 2014.

Accenture and Philips announced they have collaborated to improve the lives of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders. The team has created a proof-of-concept application to demonstrate how ALS patients could benefit and gain great control of their lives through brain, voice, and eye commands. The software, created by Accenture and Philips, connects a wearable device (designed by Accenture-owned Fjord) to Emotiv Insight Brainware, which scans EEG brainwaves. The software is being created at the Accenture Technology Labs in San Jose, Calif., along with Philips Accelerator Labs in the Netherlands. It has the potential to give more independence to patients suffering from ALS, according to the companies.
Lou Gehrig's disease impairs the brain and spinal cord nerve cells while gradually weakening voluntary muscle action. In late-stage ALS, patients often become completely paralyzed while retaining brain function. The wearable display and Emotiv Insight Brainware connect to a tablet, in which users can issue brain commands to control Philips-connected products, including Philips Lifeline Medical Alert, Philips Smart TV (with TP vision), and Hue personal wireless lighting. The device allows users to control the products using eye and voice commands. Even when muscle control and eye tracking ability are lost, users will still be able to operate Philips-connected products through brain commands with Emotiv technology tuning into electronic signals created by the brain to determine thoughts, feelings, and expressions.

text: I've decided to post a random tattoo story, article, interview once a week. These will be transcribed from books, tattoo magazines or other websites. I'm doing this mostly just for some discussion in the body mods forum and to help educate people on the traditions of tattooing and how it came about. A Day With Danzl by Mr G Early in my career, over twenty years ago, I took my first tattoo road trip to a familiar city, Seattle, Washington. In the mid 1980s, tattooists still guarded the secrets of their trade. Tattoo shops were few and far between. Seattle, like most major cities, had only two or three shops. In that era, there were no tattoo reality shows. There were only a few books or magazines on the subject. It is hard to imagine but, back then, there were only a couple of conventions a year in the whole world. Travelling to distant, established shops by introduction and through invitation was a way to gain valuable experience. It was a great honor to call upon the owner of The Seattle Tattoo Emporium, Danny Danzl. Danny had been tattooing since the 1930s. My teacher, Bert Rodriquez, had worked with him in the past and recommended I call on the famous Tattoo Man. Danny welcomed me into the shop like I was one of the family. I was introduced to his partner, P.A. Stephens, whom I had met at a national convention in 1987. I was also happy to greet Sailor Cam Cook, who was working there. I knew Cam from his days at Henry Goldfield's Tattoo in San Fransico. This was indeed a crew of topnotch professionals, and I was excited to gain any knowledge that I could from my visit. I was in the shop for only a short time before I put my foot into my rookie mouth. Behind the dummy wall, at the far side of the shop, I saw a rack of custom machines. As I approached to get a closer look, I spewed the unspeakable: "Do you mind if look at your tat guns?" Everyone and everything in the shop became deadly quiet. I may as well have addressed a room full of church ladies with my usual four-letter words. I knew I had screwed up. I could easily have been told to get the hell out, and never come back. Worse yet, I could have been physically thrown out, which was not unusual treatment for dumb fucks back then. Instead, I was lucky. I was about to learn a very important lesson at a painless price. Danny Danzl looked straight at me with his stern, dark eyes. His '30s pencil mustache seemed as sharp as the razor that created it. His signature green painted straw fedora gave off a wizard illumination above my head, as I shrank like a fool. Just like in a car wreck, everything moved in slow, psycho-motion. Everywhere I looked there was flash on the wall staring at me. My adrenaline rush seemed to intensify the smell of freshly waxed floors, alcohol and green soap. From under his paisley, silk ascot the surreal electric voice box slowly ground out like a Tom Waits song. The words are forever etched in my memory. "Kid. NEVER call a machine a gun!" This awkward moment became a major lesson in my early journey as a tattoois. These intense words came from a well-respected master. I was the travelling student of a sercret art, trying to get my foot in the door with a man who had tattooed over fifty years. I had said something very stupid. I already knew it was incorrect, but the words "tat gun" had just slipped out. I immediately apologized and promised never to use the "tat gun" phrase again, as love as I lived. I was sincere and Danny was a gentleman. He knew I had heard him loud and clear. Lesson learned. Apologly accepted. I believe that the humility to stand corrected and the desire to go past that moment, even though I felt like an idiot, was an important step forward in my tattoo career. Danny ledChinchilla and me into the backroom. We passed through the dummy wall and into the secret inner sactum of tattooing. We spent a couple of afternoons behind the curtain of earned privilege, feasting on any information we could soak up. In that short visit other guidelines from Danny became gopsel in my own practice. Does it really make a difference what word you use to describe the tools used in this ancient trade? It does if you are serious and want to learn from experienced tattooists. Professionals who have been in this business a credible amount of time screen what information they are willing to share by how honorable or deserving the inquirer is. As a great tattoo legend once told me, "Why cast pearls before swine?" If you are reading Tattoo Art 101, then I'll bet that you are trying to learn something from these pages. To expand your horizons. The best way to learn anything is to respect the people who have had the knowledge handed down from generation to generation and to seek out advice from tattooists with many years of experience. Calling the tattoo machine a "gun" is a remark that will make a bad first impression on many veteran tattooists. If I hear that remark, then I know someone has no respectable experience. Little or poor training. No roots in the business. The term "tat gun" or "gun" usually comes from prison tattooing or back street non-professionals. It indicates to me that the person using the phrase hasn't been around the scene long enough to know any better or that they are too bull-headed to be corrected. To use the word "gun" instead of machine once or twice out of ignorance is part of the learning curve. I have met some rookies that think it is funny to challenge an old timer by spouting out "gun." After a few years under their belts, the tat gun crew may realized that by being ill-spoken they have alienated some pros. They may have missed a valuable opportunity to learn so much more.

Belle & Antoine wine bar 370.
(photo credit:Courtesy)
The Belle & Antoine wine bar recently introduced weekly lounge evenings in a bid to bring a certain brand of London-New York culture fusion to the Tel Aviv scene. Every Tuesday, musical duo Yuval and Ido entertains the Belle & Antoine audience with a range of cover songs played over three sets, beginning with a mellow and relaxing mix and slowly warming the audience up for some livelier hits.On the evening that my companion and I went to check out the lounge, the self-described Parisian bar was bursting at the seams, not an empty seat in sight, with tables and chairs spilling out onto the street. People of all generations had ventured out that summer evening, making for a refreshing change to the youth-dominated clientele of most Tel Aviv bars.

Do Tell: Where Would You Go on a Road Trip?
A road trip is an adventurous way to discover more about a region and yourself. In the US alone there are more than 3.9 million miles of road to drive along with the music turned up, and there are also wonderful places to explore by car in other countries too.
One of my favorite road trips involved renting a Jeep and heading up the dusty coast of Baja, Mexico. We stopped at gorgeous snorkel spots and our soundtrack was a local band's CD we bought at the suggestion of a gas station attendant.
If you could hit the road before the Summer ended, where would you go?

Since the beginning of time, people have battled the effects of aging in order to look and feel younger. History has repeatedly shown us that people will journey to the far ends of the earth for ways to improve and maintain a youthful appearance - whether it is in search of the fountain of youth or to find plastic surgeons or cosmetic dentistry to surgically enhance their facial structures and smiles.
Plastic surgeons have been instrumental in making facelifts and other related procedures more common to the mainstream population. As a result, a paradigm shift has occurred in how we view ourselves as we get older. Cosmetic dentistry is now available to large numbers of people.
The shift has made the average person more knowledgeable of the link between lifestyle and appearance. Consequently, people are changing their habits, attitudes and preconceived perceptions of aging.
More than ever, people are more willing to dedicate the resources necessary to find the balance between their image, spirituality and life choices. In response to the shift in people's thought processes, the cosmetic dentistry community has developed newer and more predictable anti-aging techniques to slow the affect of aging on the human body.
With a large segment of the population reaching the significant milestone of 50, the increase in appearance-enhancement therapies will continue to rise significantly in coming years.
Everyone knows that if you want to cheat the aging process, the person you go to for help is a plastic surgeon. However, if you only consider a surgeon for help, you could leave out an integral part of the rejuvenation equation. Cosmetic dentistry must be included in your quest for a youthful appearance because you will not maximize the benefits of your anti-aging procedures without a smile analysis.
Your Smile Affects How Old You Look
Cosmetic dentistry procedures are like great paintings and sculptures. Your body is the canvas or clay, your face and bone structure are the frame, and at the center of the painting is your smile. In order to make masterpieces appear life-like, artisans must have an understanding of general anatomy and bone structure.
Equating those concepts to aging, you can say that your youthful appearance is as dependent upon how much support you have for your soft tissues. The old adage "Beauty is only skin deep" does not apply to plastic surgery and cosmetic dentistry. Time has a way of shrinking the underlying bone and teeth. If surgeons and cosmetic dentists do not restore what is lost, they will not be able to achieve a natural look.
Using cheek and chin implants in conjunction with facelifts are just some of the ways surgeons restore facial support and beauty. Cosmetic dentistry uses tooth whitening, bonding and porcelain veneers to create a more youthful smile.
By Benjamin O. Watkins, III, DDS, Cosmetic Dentist.
Cosmetic dentistry, these days, sometimes combines science with fine art. This requires a craftsman's skill to make sure the tooth restoration is as attractive as it is durable. After all, your smile is too valuable to be spoiled by unnatural-looking dental veneers.
The goal of a cosmetic dentist should be to provide you with an attractive, natural-appearing smile. You have a wide array of choices, and a good cosmetic dentistry professional should be happy to review the possibilities with you. For example, porcelain onlays and inlays can return structural integrity to a broken tooth, while leaving it looking as good as (or possibly better than) the original.
This is especially apparent if you now have metal fillings or a gold tooth. Metal and gold, after all, are not normal components of teeth. There's a huge difference between gold or metal combination fillings and porcelain dental crowns that reflect the translucence of natural teeth. Plus, porcelain restorations are now as strong, or stronger, than your own teeth. Ask your cosmetic dentist to take before-and-after photos so you can see the difference for yourself.
Admittedly, these more natural-appearing restorations are also a little more expensive. And many dental insurance plans may not cover all of the cost for cosmetic dental work. But in terms of your appearance (and the self-confidence it boosts), there's no comparison.

In most cases, all seminars are open to all ranks (see program below – itftaekwondo.com/global-masters), and all ITF practitioners are welcome.
The Sunday Mass Seminar will be held in the tournament venue, due to the size of eligible participants.

We have special incentives for participants, including FREE Easter Eggs for all the kids.

William from Brandon, Ms writes,
What is the best spraying strategy to control Lace Bugs on azaleas? I plan to use a hose end sprayer....
I must have 40-50 azaleas. Some are 4-5 feet tall. Approx 25 were planted in 2014, Was planning to use drench with Imidacloprid but discovered it would be cost prohibitive.
Bonide Systemic Insect Control is a very good product for lacebugs. You will use 1 1/2 fl. oz. per gallon of water. You will spray the entire plant, covering both sides of the foliage thoroughly.

State agrees to take a 'step back' on WRTC financing shift
WILLMAR -- Plans by the Minnesota Department of Human Services to change how adult mental health care is funded have been put on hold -- at least for the time being. In a letter sent Wednesday to local legislators, Assistant Commissioner of Chemical and Mental Health Services Wes Kooistra said the state will "step back from the financing changes we proposed for the Adult Mental Health Initiatives."
"I'd like to think we bought some time, and that's a good thing," said Sen. Dean Johnson, DFL-Willmar, in an interview Wednesday. "We have their attention. We have been given a reprieve," he said.
The letter, and the abrupt stop in the process, was made after Kooistra and Mike Tessner, chief executive director of the Department of Human Services' State Operated Services, listened to people's concerns about the change during a town hall meeting Tuesday in Willmar.
The meeting was called by Johnson and Rep. Al Juhnke, DFL-Willmar, after about 70 Willmar Regional Treatment Center employees were notified Oct. 31 that the state wouldn't fund their jobs after July of 2007.
The longtime WRTC employees had taken positions on new "teams" that are providing community-based services to mentally ill adults. The new method of providing services is part of the transition to close the adult mental health program at the Willmar Regional Treatment Center.
The new community-based treatment system was praised by employees at the meeting Tuesday, but they said shifting the funding from the state to counties would jeopardize the treatment clients receive.
The change would give counties state money, instead of state employees, to purchase services. Kooistra wrote in his letter that the change would give counties more flexibility and would "directly support client needs, rather than specific jobs or programs."
At the meeting, concern was expressed by employees and county family services departments that the counties wouldn't be able to afford the current services provided by state employees and that existing teams of professionals who are working with clients would end. The result would be detrimental to clients, they said.
"What's wrong with the system they have in place?" asked Jerry O'Connor, president of Local 701 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, in an interview Wednesday.
O'Connor said state employees did as the Department of Human Services asked and formed the teams and changed how they delivered services and the teams "are doing a great job." He said it doesn't make sense that the state wants to suddenly change that system and there's no reason why "perfectly good employees doing a good job should be fired."
O'Connor said he hopes the current system of keeping the team members as state employees remains in place. He was more than a little disappointed the letter from Kooistra said only that the state would "step back" from the process but didn't say the end result would be any different.
The letter from Kooistra doesn't directly say it, but Johnson said he believes the current financing structure will continue at least until the Legislature takes action on whether a new process and a new financing system should take place.
Johnson said he's confident that any future changes will involve open discussions between all parties instead of an "edict" being handed down from state staff.
Discussion and decisions, he said, will "not be done in a closet, but in the sunshine of the day."

TYLER (KYTX) - A new government report shows only 1 in 4 children ages 12 to 15 are getting enough physical activity every day.
"Alright, now show me a regular skip."
Dyann Kemp has been teaching PE for 32 years.
"I love my job."
But she says she's seen some changes over time.
"When I first started elementary, I had PE every single day. And, it went to two days a week. But, we also have dance here. So, dance counts as our third PE."
In other words, she says, not enough.
"All I can do is just encourage them to get out and walk, get out and play outside when you get home. You know, do your homework first, but then get out and play at least an hour, if not more, every single day."
She says parents should set the example and motivate their children.
Caldwell Elementary students Noah Dunbar and Carson Gallagher say they get that encouragement from their parents.
"I usually play with my friends for like- a long amount of the day." says Gallagher.
"I do swim team and I usually play outside." says Dunbar.
"you don't want to be a couch potato." says Gallagher.
Exercise is also important outside of school for students Marinna Ramos and Emily McClain.
"We also do- I do cheer and tumbling." says Ramos.
"I do gymnastics and I'm at the school basketball team." says McClain.
But, Kemp says exercise doesn't even have to be that structured.
"Walk with your parents, walk your dog, get on your bicycle, ride as a family..."
Research shows exercise declines as kids get older. Kemp says that's why it's important to lay the foundation for a healthy lifestyle in your children at a young age.
