The resource Guidelines for Christian Conciliation is a basic "rule book" that explains the conciliation process to disputing parties, answers common questions, provides procedural rules and a conciliator's standard of conduct, and explains how to write contract provisions that require future disputes to be resolved through conciliation rather than litigation. Several of the the sections found in the Guidelines for Christian Conciliation can also be found here:
- Introduction to Christian Conciliation These are common questions people have when first looking into Christian Conciliation – the differences between CC and going to court.
- Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation General Guides that will be followed so that everyone knows what is to be expected and everyone is on the same level.
- Standard of Conduct for Christian Conciliators The Conciliators themselves are held to a standard, and everyone involved needs to know what is expected of the ones walking them through this process.

By Dr. Mercola
Meat can be a healthy choice in your diet, provided it's grass-fed and organic. The way the meat is raised – what it eats, where it lives, and whether it has access to the outdoors – make a major difference in whether it's a healthy food or a disease-promoting one.
Aside from the source and growing conditions, how the meat is prepared is another major factor in its health potential. While a whole pastured chicken simmered in a pot of water to make bone broth is highly nourishing, eating chicken raised in a concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) and processed into lunchmeat or a hot dog is decidedly not.
On the scale of meat healthiness, processed meats rank consistently near the bottom, such that they should rarely be consumed, if at all. Adding to their laundry list of health risks, a new study has linked such meats to problems with men's fertility.
Processed Meats Might Worsen Male Fertility
In a study of 141 men undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) with their partners, no association was found between total meat consumption and successful fertilization through IVF. However, men who ate the least amount of processed meat (including sausage, bacon, and canned meat products) had a 28 percent higher rate of fertilization during IVF compared to those who ate the most.
Those who ate the most poultry (and presumably less processed meats and possibly overall healthier diet) also had a13 percent higher fertilization rate than men who ate the least.
It's unclear by what mechanism processed meats may interfere with fertility, and the study couldn't prove a cause-and-effect link. Dr. Elizabeth Kavaler, a urology specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, told WebMD:1
"Perhaps it is not the meat that is the problem, but the dietary

PENTICTON - The preliminary inquiry into the murder of Roxanne Louie will continue, but at a later date.
The hearing was expected to wrap up today, Feb. 19, but defence lawyer Don Skogstad requested additional time to respond to comments made by Crown prosecutor Iain Currie.
After calling a recess to consider Skogstad's request this afternoon, Judge Meg Shaw reconvened to say it was not her first choice to have an adjournment in the matter, but agreed to one as long as court could reconvene "in a reasonable time frame." Difficulties in scheduling courtroom time in Penticton resulted in the hearing being adjourned until March 10.
Shaw said she did not want to see the case moved to another jurisdiction because she was aware many members of the community wished to be present for the proceedings.
Members of the Okanagan First Nation were out in large numbers throughout the day, filling the courtroom and rallying outside the courthouse drawing attention to the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women.
Court security was tightened as sheriffs screened gallery members through a metal detector prior to being allowed in the courtroom.
Grace Robotti, 67, and her brother Pier Robotti, 63, are co-accused in the murder of Roxanne Louie, whose body was found on a logging road east of Naramata in January 2015.

By the count of 56% to 43% the Miami Dolphins are favored to best revamp and retool their team for next season. Interesting enough, the Miami Heat are built for a huge 2010 offseason, but it seems that fans either trust the Dolphins front office more or are skeptical of the Heat's chances to lure marquee players to Miami. To lay out each team's situation we identify their respective cap room and draft picks in order to see the resources available to them come spring and summer.
Miami Heat (2010-11)
- NBA Projected Salary Cap: $50-53 million
- NBA Projected Luxury Tax Threshold: $61-65 million
- Miami Heat Contracted Salaries: $11.8 (Min.) to $30.7 (Max.) million
- Summary: Miami is one of the top three teams, along with the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls, to have enough cap room to offer max level contracts to elite free agents and still have room to fill out their roster with a supporting cast. With Owner Micky Arison coming out and stating that he is "95 percent sure" that Dwyane Wade will return, the front office can focus most of its attention towards building around their star guard, rather than trying to keep him in Miami.
- NFL Projected Salary Cap: Uncapped Season (Pending)
- NFL Projected Luxury Tax Threshold: N/A
- Current Contracted Salaries: Approximately $127 million (2nd Highest in NFL for 2009)
- Summary: With the impending uncapped year, there's no telling to what extents the Dolphins will go to improve their roster through free agent, trade and draft acquisitions. The problem: everyone else in the league has the same luxury. It will be an all out race for those lucrative athletes sitting on the trading block and standing in the unemployment line. Fortunately, for high-payroll teams like Miami, releasing players do not result in cap penalties and will be a great tool in freeing budget room.
From the financial standpoint, the Miami Heat seem to have the edge in their respective league to lure top-tier players. With a maximum roster of 15 players in the NBA, as opposed to the 53-man roster in th NFL, it's much easier to improve a basketall team as well. It also goes without saying that Pat Rily has already built a championship team in Miami, whereas Bill Parcells is still establishing his presence with the Dolphins.
Then again, the Dolphins seem to have a solid foundation for success and only need some development from their young guys and a handful of position improvements to reach the next level. Conversely, the only real foundation that the Heat have is Dwyane Wade. Michael Beasley is still growing (only 21 years old) and everyone else is virtually expendable. In essence, the Dolphins only need a few tweaks to improve while the Heat require an entire roster overhaul.
What could decide this debate is the availability of players in each league that have interest in the Dolphins and Heat. If the talent isn't available, then there is no opportunity for advancement. Luckily enough, there seems to be a good crop of draft prospects, free agents and trading chips available to each organization.

There has been a ton of excitement this past week with the announcement of the Cataclysm beta starting. Everyone has been refreshing their emails and logging into their Battle.net accounts compulsively checking for invites. I can't say I blame them; I know Rich and I are doing the same. So while everyone has been getting excited about Cataclysm, we have almost forgotten that we have some new content to play with.
Ruby Sanctum was released and it marks not only the last official raid zone of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, but it is also a part of the prequel events leading up to Cataclysm. The Ruby Sanctum is the sacred grounds of the red dragons, and it has been invaded by the Twilight Dragonflight. You and your friends must travel forth into the sanctuary of the red dragons and purge the invaders from its insides. We have already discussed drops that a restoration shaman could find useful; now let us talk about some strategy and healing. So grab your totems and get ready to drub some dragons!

The life of air heaters can often be extended by periodic maintenance. Over time, deposits of dust, lint, and other materials build up on the air inlet side of the heater. This build-up reduces the efficiency of the heater. This material is a thermal insulator and restricts the heat energy from actually reaching the moving air. Since the air doesn't heat efficiently, the heater is working more than neccessary and will eventually overheat itself and burn out. If designing an air heater into a new product, consider adding a filter in the inlet side of the air stream that can easily be cleaned or replaced.
Factors that make this situation worse:

John Madden likes to swear large groups of people to secrecy, but you didn't learn that here.
He also likes to give credit where he feels credit is due.
Credit to all the US Equestrian Team supporters and US Equestrian Foundation members whose contributions, regardless how small, helped his wife Beezie and her Olympic show jumping team members win the gold medal for the US, for the second Olympics in a row.
Credit to Bates Saddle, who patiently worked with the duo over five years to perfect a saddle that perfectly fits all 20 of the horses they work, using adjustments their grooms can make in minutes. "They are fantastic in supporting the sport," he said.
"I don't do this, the staff does, because we're always running around," he said as he fiddled with the D rings under the flaps, which in this saddle unscrew so the entire saddle, secured by Velcro, opens up. In that position, the tree can be made larger or smaller, wedges of foam added or removed, so the saddle fits any horse perfectly. The Bates people come to you to fit it to each horse, he said.
John and Beezie Madden were in Norristown, PA September 14 to sign autographs and speak about the Olympics and other topics at the first Horsatack store to open in the US.
Beezie, who rode the anchor position for the 2008 gold medal US Olympic team, also earned the individual bronze. It was her second team gold medal, but her first chance to stand in gold medal position on the podium. The 2004 US team received their gold medals in the mail after the German team was dethroned in a doping scandal months after the Games.
What was she thinking as the National Anthem played? "I was thinking about all the people who made it possible. The staff close to us, and all the people across the US that contribute to the USET Foundation and USEF."
"The overwhelming feeling from the Olympics was gratitude," John added. "It takes so much to win those things. Since Athens our goals were the World Championships and the Olympics. If you think of the infinite things that can go wrong, and what it takes for things not to go wrong, to end up with the third best possible outcome is amazing."
The best outcome being, of course, team gold/individual gold, and the second best possible outcome, gold/silver.
"We started in 06 after the World Equestrian Games," Beezie said. Her 2004 gold medal horse, Authentic, was eleven and the goal was to have him peaking for the 08 Olympics. "We started then scheduling his competition and vacation times. We showed him selectively in 07, including indoors at Harrisburg and Syracuse. Even though the Olympics are outdoors, indoors is good experience for all horses because the crowd is close and the jumps come up fast.
"We had him aimed to peak for the selection trials, but at less than 100 percent in order to save him for Hong Kong," she said. As it turned out, they received a bye and did not have to compete.
Their selection marked the start of eight weeks of fitness training -- two rides a day, time daily on the walking machine and turnout. "He was almost never in his stall," she said.
The Maddens spent a month in Europe prior to the start of the Olympics. Authentic finished fourth in the Rolex Grand Prix of Aachen (Germany) and turned in a clear round in the Samsung Super League Nation's Cup.
Quarantine began the first week in June. "We wanted to be able to train the way we wanted, when we wanted, so we decided to quarantine at a small farm in Holland. The owners had to take all their horses away, and their neighbors had to remove their horses. We had to move our horses while we stripped the stalls, disinfected and rebedded everything to begin quarantine. From June 1 through the Olympics in August, all the horses had 'whereabout' papers, and their every movement was recorded. No new horses or equipment could be brought in. There were foot baths and hand washing stations, daily nose swabs and daily vet visits."
Team coach George Morris organized a training session at a small nearby horse show. The organizers brought in new footing for the event and ten thousand people showed up to watch. "George was able to set the exact course to sharpen them. It was like being at a horse show but you could walk if you needed to or repeat something if you wanted," Beezie said.
The day after the show the team was officially approved to leave for Hong Kong.
"The guy sent to pick up our equipment spoke no English, but eventually he made it known that every piece of equipment had to be labeled and numbered. We had to have a final count of pieces of equipment and we had to be under a certain weight limit," Beezie said.
Everyone -- from horses to vets to USEF staff -- was to take one 12-hour KLM flight from Holland to Hong Kong. The plane was a regular 747 with about 40 rows of seats and the back section converted to cargo. The passengers could reach the horses via a door.
Just before takeoff the pilot reported that a typhoon in Hong Kong might result in the flight being diverted to Taipei. The horses could potentially be on the plane for 24 hours.
"George ordered the horses, the grooms and me off the plane," John said. "I didn't even have time to tell Beezie I was leaving. We stayed behind with the horses and everyone else went on." The passengers landed safely in the typhoon, the horses followed the next day.
More credit from John -- "KLM is one of the premier shippers of animals. We've shipped horses that were next to elephants and giraffes. That plane flew without the cargo and the airline took a hit, and they did it out of concern for the horses."
The first days of competition just nine days away, the next hurdle became credentials. "Just four credentials were issued for each horse -- two for the owners, one for the rider and one for staff so we had to be very creative to get access for our support people," Beezie said.
Five days out, McLain Ward's horse, Sapphire, developed heat rash on her barrel. Medication was forbidden and Ward could not ride the mare for several days.
The US eventing, dressage and show jumping teams were all stabled in one aisle and the riders and staff, whose paths rarely if ever intersect, enjoyed getting to know one another. The eventing team asked the show jumpers to walk the course with them and contribute their expertise.
The team chose to stay at a Sheraton rather than the Olympic village so that family and staff could stay with them. They had their own doctor, as riders as well as horses are under anti-doping regulations. The vet and the MD supervised the respective drug testings. The Americans were also accompanied by a representative from the State Department and one from the FBI, who provided security.
The first day of competition did not count toward medals but was to qualify the top 35 horse and rider combinations to compete as individuals. All four members of the US team qualified.
After two days off, it was back in the ring for the first day of team competition over a course that was 'not as big as Athens but tricky,' Beezie said. On their way to a clear round, Authentic began furiously shaking his head and ran past the triple. "He didn't even see it. When he did jump it he was still shaking his head and holding it down."
The error cost Beezie 11 faults and the team the lead. Her score was dropped and the US tied Switzerland for first place with four faults. "It was bittersweet because without the head shaking we would have been alone in first place. We were a little deflated," Beezie said.
Authentic continued to shake his head all the way to the barn. "He wears a bonnet and we thought some condensation or sweat may have gotten in his ear. We eliminated the bonnet but the head shaking continued somewhat. Later we flushed his sinuses and he was perfect after that."
Tied for first with Canada after the first round of the second day, the Americans found themselves in a jump off for the team gold medal. Clear rounds from teammates McLain Ward, Laura Kraut and Will Simpson meant Beezie did not have to jump. 2008 Olympic gold -- the US. Olympic silver -- Canada.
"It was like another day at Spruce Meadows," Beezie said. "The Europeans think they dominate equestrian sports, and here it was all North America on the podium. The crowd stayed and it was really exciting."
Two days later, the individual finals began. The first round yielded ten clears from 35 riders. The second course, for clears and four faulters -- McLain Ward and Beezie among them -- was harder, Beezie said. With a rail down, she figured she was out of luck. But with two double clears and seven riders with four faults, a jump off for bronze ensued.
"It was a fun jump off for the crowd because everyone was at full tilt," she said. "McLain had the idea to jump a bush for a short cut -- it was the only way to win. He wiped out the last fence, but he showed me the way to win.
"We were together for a long time, we all got along great, and winning was a real team effort. All the US horses came out great, they're home and healthy. Authentic is turned out with his shoes off and we're starting the preparation for the World Equestrian Games next year."

Bush draws Democratic criticism for 'stuff happens' comment – Reuters
U.S. Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush speaks at a campaign town hall meeting in Bedford, New Hampshire September 30, 2015.
Reuters/Brian Snyder
WASHINGTON Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said on Friday more government is not always the answer for Americans when crises erupt and "stuff happens," a remark that Democrats charged was a callous response to victims of gun violence a day after an Oregon mass shooting.
At a conservative forum in South Carolina, Bush was asked a rambling question by moderator Alan Wilson, the state's attorney general. Wilson pressed him on whether there should be more prayer vigils at schools and other institutions to prevent tragedies such as when someone "with an Uzi or a handgun" shoots "a bunch of people."
Wilson did not mention the Oregon shootings a day earlier in which nine people were killed.
"We're in a difficult time in our country and I don't think more government is necessarily the answer to this. I think we need to reconnect ourselves with everybody else," Bush, a former Florida governor, replied.
"It's just very sad to see," Bush added. "I resist the notion that – I did – I had this challenge as governor. Look, stuff happens, there's always a crisis and the impulse is always to do something, and it's not necessarily the right thing to do."
Democrats, who see Bush as a threat to their chances of holding the White House should he become the Republican presidential nominee in 2016, pounced on the remark, a day after the mass shooting at an Oregon community college.
"What a way for Republicans to end a horrible week. In the aftermath of another national gun tragedy, Jeb Bush just told victims of gun violence everywhere, 'stuff happens'," the Democratic National Committee said in a statement.
President Barack Obama was asked about the "stuff happens" remark at a White House news conference.
"I don't even think I have to react to that one. I think the American people should hear that and make their own judgments based on the fact that every couple of months we have a mass shooting and … they can decide whether they consider that stuff happening," Obama said.
Bush, who like most Republicans favors Americans' gun rights under the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, was pressed to explain his comment by reporters after …Read More

"If it keeps on raining,
The levee's going to break.
When the levee breaks,
Got no place to stay.
All last night,
Sat on the levee and moaned.
Thinkin' 'bout my baby
And my happy home."
from When the Levee Breaks
by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie
The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 has been described as the most destructive river flood in the history of the United States. Though the 1993 Mississippi and Missouri flood rivaled, and even surpassed, it in many respects, the '27 flood was notable not only for its sheer destructive force, but also because of the mark it left on American culture.
The seeds of the flood were planted during the summer of 1926, when a season of unusually heavy rains swelled the Mississippi's tributaries in Kansas and Iowa. The situation didn't abate over the course of the autumn, and on New Year's Day of 1927, the Cumberland River reached 56.2 feet at Nashville, a record height to this day, and began spilling over the levees.
The situation continued into the spring, and soon the flooding spread throughout the river system, as levees throughout the region began bursting from the sheer volume of water.
One breach, in particular, inundated the area surrounding Mounds, Miss., with a deluge that more than doubled the volume of Niagara Falls. When the Mounds Landing levee ruptured on April 21, water covered an area 50 miles wide and 100 miles long. The floodwaters were up to 30 feet deep in places! By the time May rolled around, the Mississippi River was 60 miles wide below Memphis, Tenn.
In some areas, levees in smaller communities upstream of major cities were destroyed in order to spare the larger population centers. This happened in Louisiana, where, on April 29, officials blew up the levee at Caernarvon, north of New Orleans, flooding much of the parishes of St. Bernard and Plaquemines. This decision was controversial because none of the residents of those, largely poor, parishes were ever compensated for their property loss. In addition, the move later proved to be unnecessary, as other levee breaches farther north would have lowered the water in New Orleans before they topped the levees there.
Before it was over, the '27 flood had swept through 10 states: Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Thousands of people throughout the region were left homeless and jobless, as the floodwaters covered their homes, farms, factories, and more. In response, the government created relief camps where people displaced by the flood could live. Conditions in these camps were rough, though,and often brutal, especially for the large number of African Americans who inhabited them.
The flood was, in large part, responsible for the Great Migration of African Americans from the rural south to urban centers in the north, such as Chicago, New York, and Detroit. This was spurred by the loss of the farmland where many had made a living sharecropping, coupled with the racist treatment in the relief camps, and during the flood itself, when rescue efforts focused on whites and left black people behind to fend for themselves.
A large body of music, primarily blues, also grew out of the '27 flood. Some of the most famous examples include Lonnie Johnson's Broken Levee Blues, Charlie Patton's High Water Everywhere, and Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie's When the Levee Breaks. Even today, artists as diverse as Randy Newman, Bob Dylan, and Led Zeppelin have performed songs that commemorate the Great Flood of 1927.

For over 15 years, Chinese stalwart CinCin–whose name literally translates to "fresh spirit of springtime"–has been a Chestnut Hill staple and has garnered a legion of fiercely loyal patrons. It would be nearly impossible to coax humble and soft-spoken owner Michael Wei into taking credit for introducing suburbanites to Asian-French fusion cuisine, but it's true–Wei is to Chestnut Hill what Margaret Kuo and Susanna Foo are to the Main Line and Center City.
Opened in 1996, the menu describes its fare as "Chinese kissed with French" and while newer establishments and chefs are engaging in a bit of kitchen wizardy with experimental food and techniques, CinCin chef James Huang pays homage to old traditions with a menu of Asian classics with a decidely French flair. On a menu where mushroom and chèvre streudel shares space with balsamic vinegar-tinged, brandied Peking duck, Chef Huang successfully fuses two cultures. A recent lunch at the Chestnut Hill landmark revealed a few missteps but also offered a number of bright spots that made it evident why the eatery has been a consistent contender for over a decade.
It has been my experience that there are typically two types of service in Asian eateries–effusive and friendly or brusque and cold-shouldered. Obviously a devotee of the latter, an elderly female hostess seemed a little perturbed that it was her duty to actually greet patrons–my arrival was obviously an annoyance as she offered me a half-hearted greeting that hovered somewhere between "hi" and "hey." Another gentleman actually seated me in the almost comically outdated pink dining room (complete with pink fan-folded napkins). My waiter, hurried and flustered, seemed to be in a rush even though the restaurant wasn't anywhere close to being full. I'm aware that this isn't normal behavior or the level of service at CinCin which is the only reason why I didn't leave.
An order of "dumplings two kind" from the seasonal summer menu was a disappointment–beautiful and well-constructed but lacked any seasoning in the pork and lobster fillings. The accompanying scallion-studded dipping sauce was a tad too vinegary, but the kimchi and cucumber salad was bright and tangy. Shrimp with honey walnuts proved to be the savior of the meal by avoiding the typical pitfall of an overly sweet sauce. The sauce, of which I could have drunk a gallon, was a rich amber-colored, savory delight that didn't drown out the delicate taste of the shrimp; the housemade honeyed walnuts weren't sickly sweet and provided interesting texture to the dish.
Having no room for dessert from the menu, a customary chocolate-dipped fortune cookie predicted I "would do well to expand my business" and when it comes to business, owner Michael Wei noted in a recent interview that CinCin will continue to be a part of Chestnut Hill's dining landscape for years to come. Good fortune for the area, indeed.

FOR THOSE going through the arduous task of apartment hunting in Yangon, take some solace from the fact that the entire exercise is a damn sight easier today than it was a few years ago.
Shortly after arriving in Myanmar in 2012, I set out on a hunt to find my own place in the city. My criteria was simple – cheap and clean. But meeting even those basic benchmarks was far harder than I had imagined.
One experience in particular stands out. After weeks of disappointment, an agent assured me that he'd found the perfect place in a quiet lane to the west of Inya Lake.
After weaving through countless alleyways, we finally came to the street in question. At the end stood a dilapidated timber house painted bright purple. One of the windows was smashed and the roof was missing half of its tiles.
"Very good for you," insisted the agent. I'm not sure what he thought of me, but it couldn't have been good.
Reaching the front door, he fiddled with the lock for a few moments before giving up and delivering a swift boot (more specifically, a flip-flop) to force it open.
The house was dingy and there were piles of dust and filth in the corner. On the way to the kitchen, which was stacked high with the previous tenant's filthy plates, I stepped over three dead cockroaches.
When I opened the bathroom door I was greeted by the stench of stale urine. I tested the shower: the showerhead reluctantly gave up a dribble of brown liquid.
I turned to the agent and asked, just for my own amusement, how much.
"US$1,000 a month."
I'm pleased to say I didn't take the place and managed to find somewhere that fitted my criteria.
Luckily the situation has improved in recent years and there are more apartments of a reasonable standard available. As supply gradually catches up with demand, prices are becoming more reasonable.
Still, for those that have to go through the process, Frontier has a few little pointers that might help to avoid — or at least blunt — the inevitable pain.

Everton's Romelu Lukaku currently sits top of the Premier League goal-scoring charts for the 2016/17 domestic campaign – above the likes of Harry Kane, Alexis Sanchez and Chelsea's Diego Costa.
After registering a further flurry of goals in front of the Goodison Park faithful this term, it remains somewhat difficult to envisage the powerful Belgian centre-forward sticking it out among his current employers for the long-term future – especially with the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and even Barcelona reportedly in the hunt for the striker's signature.
[nnr_content_fire id="2″]
Lukaku definitely remains in fine form right in the here and now of course…

✅ 1st to score 20 PL goals
✅ 1st Everton player to score 20 goals in PL season
✅ 4th player to score 80+ PL goals before 24 pic.twitter.com/lmqsHXvkg6
— Football Facts (@FootbalIFact) 18 March 2017
…yet some Everton fans aren't ruling out the prospect of him leaving come the end of the season…
The fans were great, and Lukaku responded. He loves the club, but if we can't match his ambition, I'll wish him all the best. #EFC
— Royal Blue Everton (@RoyalBlueEFC) 18 March 2017
With everything the striker has achieved in 2016/17…
Middlesbrough have now scored 20 Premier League goals. Just one behind Romelu Lukaku in the race for the Golden Boot.
— Andy Ha (@_AndyHa) 19 March 2017
…coupled with all the goals registered by Lukaku in several previous campaigns…
Lukaku makes it 21 and he's on his way to be the first Everton player to score 30 league goals for 31 years. ?
— Gary Lineker (@GaryLineker) 18 March 2017
…many high flying Premier League clubs would seemingly love to have him on board next season…
Lukaku would be an amazing replacement for Ibra.
— Lisa Johnson (@girlmanutd) 18 March 2017
…especially in light of current circumstances…
Maybe Koeman should replace Wenger & bring Lukaku with him.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) 18 March 2017
Although many Everton supporters have praised Lukaku for the way he has conducted himself in recent weeks…
Rather Lukaku say it how it is, than have a Phil Neville or Tim Cahill.

…surely it's only a matter of time before the in-form centre-forward embarks upon a more prestigious challenge within his top-flight career?

The restaurant is small and intimate. There is a personal touch from the owners. It is perfect for a special couple's night out.
Jenkins has been around for a long time now. Located in a small town in central MA. It is a destination point. The food is prepared expertly by a fine chef. No matter what you order, it is outstanding.
The Inn and grounds were lovely. Intimate dining room (albeit a bit dated). Considering we were the first couple there, service was a little slow. Excellent cheese and crackers and entrees were good.
Excellent food, wonderful grounds around the Inn and great staff. Menu has something for everyone. Food is presented beautifully. Will not hesitate to add this to our favorites list!
I wish I had been hungrier or that I was close to home to take home a doggy bag! I started with the Lobster Bisque which was very tasty. A bit too creamy for me but still good. Then the biscuits are to die for!!!...More

The only flaw at Jenkin's Inn, is if you go to stay, or to dine, you will compare every other Inn and every other restaurant to them, and very, very few will measure up. Joe and David are the best. Last night, we dined there...More
This time around my meals were breakfast. There's something for everyone to eat, whether it's eggs, oatmeal or gluten free. After our dinner function, I invited a group back for wine in the library. It's very quaint and relaxing.

Question about 2005 Mini Cooper
I replaced my original cranckshaft pulley with a solid and oversised one 4%(without rubber coupling).Need to know if affection results for the engine.
Posted by mecano666 on
i do beleive that the oversised cranckshaft pulley increase the rotation of all attached devices pullies
At least you have the intention for posting solutions regardless if you'r right or wrong.
Thanks anyway
your reply was highly appreciated.Need to hear your opignon if i'll tell you that this pulley is lighter by 4.5 klg then the original one(sorry for missing mentionning that) specially that my purpose was to let the superchager spin faster at early RPM. Now as i mentioned it befor, this pulley came solid without inner rubber coupling (to reduce vibrations) and i'm worriying if this can damage the crancksaft bearing or any other parts inside the engine
sorry for miss understanding your point, and hope that your advices can help me making a correct decision,specially that the original pulley is a consumable part and has to be replaced around every 30 000 km with around 400 usd, and the aftermaket one is lifetime guaranteed.
All parts tied to that pulley would rotate slower .dont know if 4% would have any undue affect on water pump flow or alternator outputs.I dont believe so but keep an eye on temp as it may circulate a little slowerr so it stands to reason it may run warmer.Alternators put out a predetermined amount of power dependant on the speed they are spinning .doubt it would be unduly affected
Posted on Oct 17, 2008
Do your homework before making a comment only a head would make
I have all and every intention of giving good advice but not when you rate the way you do you have by changing the pulley size increased the total area/size of movement In other words therse more lenght.Am i making sense?.You effectivly change what happens at a specific rev range,The bigger the pulley the slower you rev The smaller the pulley the faster you rev at your specific rev range.These days its all worked out so that things spin at specific times for specific reasons.
Thanx for your reply its agood thing we are friends LoL!its all good Anyway back to the matter at hand.You will of course have to get the complete rotating assembly balanced because if you have no dampening that engine will let go impressivly.Im not sure why you would risk an engine by changing all the pulley ranges when getting a higher boost out of the super charger or changing the super charger pulley would have been an easier option.Maybe go see the supercharger wizzes to see how to make the charger perform better dont know myself .Anyway good luck and hope you come out on top.

The utilities of Tc-99m MAA other than pulmonary embolism. DR. Hussein Farghaly Nuclear Medicine Consultant. INDICATIONS OF Tc-99m MAA lung perfusion scan rather than PE. Pulmonary artery stenosis, Hepatopulmonary syndrome, FEV1 calculation in lung surgery planning,

DR. Hussein Farghaly
Nuclear Medicine Consultant
known case of alcohol related chronic liver disease with portal hypertension. Patient was referred as a suspected case of HPS. A whole body MAA scan was done to look for arteriovenous (AV) shunting
Whole body and static images show normal perfusion to bilateral bronchopulmonary segments. There is abnormal tracer uptake in bilateral kidneys, cutaneous and subcutaneous arterioles suggestive of significant arteriovenous shunting, confirming hepatopulmonary syndrome
The perfusion is normal and symmetrical in both lungs. Abnormal activity is seen in both kidneys indicating right to left shunt. To quantify right to left shunt, region of interests were drawn around the entire body and around the lung. Right to left shunt is determined by subtracting the count in the pulmonary region from the whole body region. In this case, the right to left shunt was 30%
Procedure is similar to a normal lung perfusion scan; however, multiple static images of lungs are unnecessary. Anterior and posterior lung images are acquired for 500K counts. Region of interest are drawn depending on whether lobectomy or pneumonectomy is planned. One can choose drawing manual region of interests (ROIs) over automatic ones in those patients where the ROIs do not correspond to the involved lung segments.
Anterior and posterior images of both lungs show significantly reduced tracer distribution in entire left lung bronchopulmonary segments. Percentage macro aggregated albumin uptake in left:right lung is 9:91%. Thus, there would be a loss of only 9% of calculated FEV1, if patient undergoes left pneumonectomy
Before LPA stenting 29:71%
After LPA stenting 33:67%
LPA Stenosis resistant tuberculosis
Before LPA stenting left : right was 11:89%
Post LPA stenting left : right was 48:52%
69-year-old male patient, who is a known case of right hepatocellular Ca with right portal vein thrombosis, was referred for Tc-99m MAA scintigraphy for planning liver radionuclide microspheres therapy.
Ill-defined heterogeneously enhancing segment VIII lesion (a), showing washout in portal (b) and delayed phase (c) right branch of portal vein is thrombosed
Tc-99m MAA scintigraphy showed significant MAA uptake corresponding to the site of CT detected liver tumor. There was minimal MAA shunting in bilateral lungs. No other extra hepatic sites of abnormal MAA uptake were seen. Patient was thus considered for liver radionuclide microsphere therapy with reduction in administered activity
1.5-3 mCi of Tc-MAA is simultaneously injected into dorsal veins of feet. Immediate dynamic whole body scintigraphy is performed in anterior and posterior projections using a dual head large rectangular field of view gamma camera. Static images of the lungs are also essential in the anterior, posterior, lateral and posterior oblique projections. Subsequently, static images of the lower limbs and pelvis are also obtained in anterior and posterior projections.
Whole body images showed significant collateral vessels with associated anteromedial basal segmental lung perfusion defect in the left lung.
Later doppler study of bilateral lower limbs confirmed subacute thrombus involving left iliac and
27-years-old known cirrhotic female patient, who underwent peritoneal venous shunt (PVS) 6 months ago, was referred for the evaluation of shunt patency

Life is Beautiful!
I highly doubt there is anything better for breakfast than birthday cake leftovers. With Turkish coffee, which my grandma taught me how to make, organic milk and a wonderful book. Especially if you have a small garden to complete the picture. Ah, isn't life beautiful?
Thanks everyone for the kind birthday wishes, you are all so sweet!! I hope that your week is as lovely as mine.

Children's Hospital Oakland has agreed to transfer Jahi McMath, the 13-year-old girl declared brain-dead after a tonsillectomy, but the girl's family is scrambling to find a facility that will take her.
Doctors at the hospital want to disconnect the girl's ventilator, but her family is fighting to keep her on life support. A judge has ruled that she be kept on life support until 5 p.m. Monday.
A facility in the Bay Area that had agreed to keep the girl on a ventilator indefinitely no longer has room, the family's attorney, Christopher Dolan, told KGO-TV San Francisco.
Dolan blamed the situation on a delay caused by Children's Hospital's refusal to perform a tracheotomy and insert a feeding tube.
The girl's family is now searching for a facility in Southern California and will likely ask a court to extend the Monday deadline, according to the KGO-TV report.
After initially suggesting it would oppose a transfer, Children's Hospital said on Friday that it is willing to work with the family.
"Children's Hospital will of course continue to do everything legally and ethically permissible to support the family of Jahi McMath," the hospital said in a letter to Dolan. "In that regard, Children's will allow a lawful transfer of Jahi's body in its current state to another location if the family can arrange such a transfer and Children's can legally do so."

Do you have a cold or sinus congestion? If you've ever held your head over a pot of steaming vapors to clear your sinus passages, there's another method that's just as effective, yet more convenient and comfortable.
Take a therapeutic, relaxing bath to clear that stuffy nose.
Fill your bath tub with very warm water.
While the bath water is running, add the following essential oils:
5 drops of Eucalyptus essential oil,
3 drops of Lemon essential oil, and
3 drops of Peppermint essential oil.
Stir the water to ensure that the oils have dispersed into the water. Recline in the tub and inhale the therapeutic, fragrant steam for at least 15 minutes, to help clear congested respiratory passages and to treat colds.
While soaking, dip a wash cloth in the bath water, and then wring slightly. Close your eyes and place the warm, wet cloth across the bridge of your nose and sinuses for two minutes. (Keep vapors and oils away from the eyes.) Repeat process several times.
At the end of your bath, you should be breathing easier.
(Some essential oils can be irritating to sensitive skin. When in doubt, consult your distributor or an Aromatherapy or Essential Oils reference book for more information).

Blake Lively criticised for 'LA face with an Oakland booty' Instagram post
Blake Lively has divided her fans and critics with an Instagram post that included the lyrics "LA face with an Oakland booty."
The actress shared images of herself from the front and from behind on her page during an appearance at Cannes Film Festival under the lyric from Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back".
Lively was criticised for sharing the lyrics as a privileged white woman by some users who branded her out of touch. The feminist blog Jezebel claimed the caption was "problematic" because of the division set up in the lyric.
Jezebel blogger JE Reich wrote: "In the end, it touts a diametrical opposition: that Los Angeles can be equated to elegance and/or beauty (read: whiteness), and that Oakland is its foil (read: blackness)."
However, a number of people questioned the backlash, with some suggesting that if there is an issue, it lies with the lyrics, not in Lively using them.
Representatives for Lively did not respond to a request for comment.

Crumlin Integrated College Paves The Way For Shared Education
Monday 4th November was another first for Crumlin Integrated College as we welcomed Gaelscoil Ghleann Darach to share our school site .
Pupils from P4 – P7 have joined us whilst their new school is being built on the Glenavy Road. CIC Senior Leader, Mrs McGarry, announced that this is a tremendous opportunity for pupils from both schools to learn together and from each other, fully embracing and making the Minister For Education's dream a reality – shared education for all pupils. Stephen Wallace, Principal of Gaelscoil Ghleann Darach added, "We have found this to be a bustling, vibrant school and the community to be extremely open and helpful. Cumlin Integrated has facilitated the Gaelscoil Ghleann Darach community for many years. We are waiting on our new school build which will happen in the near future and needed classroom accommodation. The College stepped in and gave us a helping hand."
In addition to being on the CIC campus, Gaelscoil Ghleann Darach pupils will be sharing resources including the canteen, gymnasium and computer suites and Technology workshop. Crumlin Integrated College pupils will benefit from hearing another language, Gaelic, being used every day and the possibility of additional learning opportunities for example pupils have already expressed an interest in additional classes!
"We do not feel like visitors here," said Máirín, a Gaelscoil teacher, "we feel very much part of the school. The children love the facilities and it is very much supporting the learning environment. It is a great resource to make available to us."
Senior CIC pupils agreed that having both schools together on the one campus is a great idea:
"It adds diversity to our school; makes us all inclusive and gives us the opportunity to learn more about Irish culture. We are looking forward to participating in joint activities together," said Head Boy, Pierce Slaney.
The children from Gaelscoil Ghleann Darach were delighted with their new accommodation. "I love the space and the storeroom," Gaelscoil, pupil Euan said. "The park is our favourite but above all the dinners are lovely!" said fellow pupils Róise and Aoife.
Miss Farr, our Catering Supervisor commented:
"The pupils are so well behaved and well mannered. The atmosphere in the dining hall is electric. It is a pleasure to prepare their break and lunch because they are so appreciative."
Parents are delighted that the Gaelscoil children have settled in so well. "Kids have wonderful imaginations. When I asked my daughter what did she like so much about Crumlin Integrated College she replied, The dinners, oh, and the curtains!"

WHISTLER (Reuters) - A delegation of women ski jumpers will on Saturday seek Russian support for their bid to have the sport included in the 2014 Winter Games, which will be hosted by the southern Russian city of Sochi.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has so far declined to sanction women's ski jumping in the Games on the grounds that not enough women are competing worldwide.
Female athletes have lost two Canadian court rulings in their bid to force the organisers of the Vancouver Games to allow women to compete.
Deedee Corradini, president of Women's Ski Jumping USA, said she would seek a meeting on Saturday at the Sochi delegation's official headquarters in Vancouver.
"We're just trying to build bridges ... and we're hoping the Sochi 2014 people will send a letter to the IOC saying that we would like the women jumping in Sochi," she told Reuters in an interview on Friday.
Corradini, sporting a bright official Sochi 2014 scarf, said she would invite the Russian women's team to a training camp in Salt Lake City in June 2010.
She also plans to hand over a glossy colour brochure on women's ski jumping. It contains quotes from Russian women jumpers on why they should be allowed to compete.
Ski jumping has been an Olympic sport since 1924 but is one of the few events in either the Winter or Summer Games that does not have competitions for both men and women. All new sports allowed into the Games must be gender equal.
The women jumpers say the refusal of the IOC to let them compete makes it much harder to raise money.
Canadian jumper Katie Willis, 18, one of two athletes accompanying Corradini, said she had given up the sport for now because of the uncertainty over its Olympic future.
"Given everything we've been through, I just couldn't see myself going for another four years if it wasn't for sure," she said, citing the strain of the court cases.
Willis dismissed the idea that there were not enough female competitors, noting 166 women from 18 countries took part in contests arranged by the International Ski Federation (FIS).
Ironically, the official hill record for the Whistler normal hill was set by female U.S. jumper Lindsey Van in 2008. Austrian Gregor Schlierenzauer set a new record during a qualification jump on Friday.

I pulled over to the side of the road. My friend was in the passenger's seat. He didn't know what I was doing. It's not his fault. He's didn't grow up in the south.
A funeral procession was coming by. In the south, that means that you pull over to the side of the road. The south isn't perfect. No place on earth is. But it's home for me. And pulling over on the side of the road during a funeral procession is one of the things I like about my home.
Last weekend I was on the other side of the funeral procession. I was the one who preached the funeral. I was the one driving in the car directly behind the hearse. I was the one watching everyone else pull over.
It was a Saturday afternoon in one of the more highly populated counties in Georgia. There was business to be done and places to get to. But for a few minutes at least, none of that mattered. For a few minutes, everyone stopped.
All for a man they never knew.
Black kids stopped.
Older white women stopped.
Men in loaded down work trucks stopped.
Women in convertibles stopped.
We drove by two different men who were cutting their grass. Both of them stopped.
All for a man they never knew.
No one asked the political persuasion of the deceased. No one asked what color he was. No one asked about his views on immigration or Iraq. They just stopped. Everyone stopped.
I was proud of my home while I was driving behind that hearse. People say that things are slower down here. Maybe they're right. Pulling over to the side of the road and stopping everything has a way of slowing you down. Slow isn't always so bad.
Slow makes it easier for you to think.
And nothing makes you think quite like a funeral procession.
For all of the differences between conservatives and progressives, whites and blacks, old and young, we all have one thing in common. We're all going to die. We may even take a ride in a hearse. Hopefully people will pull over for us.
There is another certainty.
After we die, we will be judged. We will all stand before our Creator to give an account for our life. He won't ask us if we forwarded that picture of Jesus to ten friends. He won't ask us if we did a good enough job of getting our point across. He won't ask us how many followers we had. In his own way, he'll ask us whose righteousness we had.
There are only two possible answers.
My righteousness, which comes through pride and effort and leads to eternal punishment or Jesus' righteousness which comes through faith and repentance and leads to eternal life.
If you have Jesus' righteousness, you know mercy.
And if you really know mercy, you'll show it to others.
So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. James 2:12-13 (ESV)
