SUBJECT/S: Barnaby Joyce's forced relocation of APVMA.
JOEL FITZGIBBON, SHADOW MINISTER FOR AGRICULTURE, FISHERIES AND FORESTRY: Thanks again for coming, Gai Brodtmann and I are here today to again express our concern for the up to 200 people who work in the building behind us who may or may not have a job in future months thanks to Barnaby Joyce's ongoing determination to move the APVMA out of Canberra to his own electorate, to Armidale in his own electorate. This is a folly, it is the dumbest thought bubble I have seen in twenty years of political life. The building behind us is full of highly qualified professional people, who live in Canberra, who have kids in Canberra schools, who are not in a position to move to Armidale and Barnaby Joyce will not secure new professionals capable of doing this work in Armidale. So there are two aspects to this: one, this political stunt, absolutely driven by Barnaby Joyce's own political interest, is a bad thing for Canberra because it is 200 jobs potentially out of Canberra; two, it is bad for the agriculture sector because it is absolutely necessary that we have an efficient, highly capable regulator dealing with farm chemicals and veterinarian products, products which are critical to efficiencies and our productivity in the ag sector. The chemical companies simply won't be able to efficiently access the APVMA in Armidale, that is going to slow down the processors. We already know from the APVMA own reports that it has lost days for staff are on the rise, because frankly I suspect people are looking for new jobs already. We can't afford to lose those scientists, agriculture can't afford to lose them, and of course, Canberra can't afford to lose them and I invite Gai to say something about the local impacts.
GAI BRODTMANN, SHADOW PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY FOR DEFENCE, MEMBER FOR CANBERRA: Thanks very much Joel. Well Sir Robert Menzies would be turning in his grave. It was Sir Robert Menzies who said he would build up Canberra as a capital in the eyes and minds of the Australian people and the Abbott - Turnbull Government has launched nothing but a sustained, a continued, attack on Canberra since it was elected in 2013. We have seen eight and a half thousand public servants go from Canberra already. Now we are potentially looking at 200 going from Canberra as a result of this Government's continued contempt and disdain for Canberra. We saw what the Coalition Government did to Canberra in 1996. Back then they sacked 15,000 public servants here in Canberra and 30,000 nationally. That sent us into an economic slump that lasted for years, housing prices went down, people left town, businesses went under, local shops just closed down. We are seeing that sustained attack again and this decision by Barnaby Joyce to move 200 jobs from Canberra, highly skilled, highly professional jobs, to move them from Canberra to Armidale just underscores this Government's, the Coalition Government's complete contempt and disdain for Canberra, for the Public Service, for our servants of democracy.
FITZGIBBON: And can I say, Malcolm Turnbull who has come to this debate almost too late has now said, in a very, very weak response, that he will establish a cost benefit analysis of this move. Prime Minister, we don't need an analysis to determine that this is a dumb move, which will be very bad for Canberra, and will be totally inefficient and costly for the agricultural sector. Prime Minister, you need to move in now and stop Barnaby Joyce from proceeding with what is going to be a disaster for Canberra and a disaster for the agriculture sector. Any questions?
JOURNALIST: What do you say, obviously there is going to be an impact on jobs here, what do you think about Barnaby Joyce's comment that it will benefit the agriculture sector to have these services where the agriculture and farmers are, [inaudible] what do you think about that?
FITZGIBBON: There are two distinct issues here. The APVMA is a regulator which deals typically with multinational chemical companies trying to get their product into Australia. The APVMA needs to ensure that those drugs or chemicals can be used in a safe way, safer for Australians who ultimately consume the food involved. They also need to do that as quickly as possible and the most efficient way to do that is to make sure that the regulator is accessible to those chemical companies. It is accessible here in our national capital. It won't be accessible in Armidale where there might be a flight a day, for example. On the other side, Research Development Corporations, despite their names - they don't do research. They take hard earned levy payers money and they decide where the research should be done and then they contract that work out to researchers. The best place for them to be is central to the key leadership organisations like the NFF here in Canberra. They don't do research, we don't need them to be talking to the farmers and of course this is just another political stunt designed to give Barnaby Joyce a boost in the regions because he is misleading people into believing there are going to be a number of people involved here, there are not - there might be one or two people typically involved in his so called decentralisation plan but it will impact on the economy here in Canberra. It is a very, very unwise move.
JOURNALIST: Have you spoken to workers ? How are they feeling, the workers?
FITZGIBBON: Are you talking about the APVMA now?
JOURNALIST: Yes, sorry.
FITZGIBBON: Well, we're reluctant to disclose conversations with professional people who feel that their jobs are at risk. I think I am in a position to tell you that there is very very great concern with the organisation and I think it's fair to say that the most recent report was showing the processes slowing down because more people are taking days off, is a clear indication that people are not only very concerned but starting to think about future alternatives. Up to 90 per cent of the people who work in the building behind us are professional science types. People who aren't easily replaced and even the most highly qualified people take years to settle into the very unique processes which happen here at the APVMA. If we lose those people it will be in the short to medium term impossible to replace them and that is very bad news for Australia's agriculture sector.
JOURNALIST: You mentioned that Malcolm Turnbull is doing or has suggested a cost benefit analysis of the move. Barnaby Joyce also mentioned that there would be a merit based independent review of whether the APVMA should move. Have you heard anything more about that review and where it's up to?
FITZGIBBON: No we haven't heard any more about that, and it's now two years since Barnaby Joyce first pulled this political stunt in his own political interest. So now we've got Barnaby Joyce saying he is insisting on proceeding, we've got Malcolm Turnbull, the Prime Minister, saying, oh we'll do an economic analysis to make sure that it's the right thing to do and now some independent review as well. We don't need to do any of this, we just need to quickly fix this problem. Malcolm Turnbull needs to quickly fix this problem by saying look we had an idea, it's a bit like GST really, but we realise now it was a dumb idea and we are going to backflip.
BRODTMANN: I mean imagine the uncertainty for these workers. These people, these high skilled people, here. As Joel said, for two years there's been all this uncertainty around what their future is where they are going to be living. It puts a significant stress on them both personally and professionally. As Joel said, we've heard about the impact about that that's had in terms of their morale and attendance at work. These are people's lives that we are playing with here and it's not just their lives, it's their partners lives, it's their children's lives. It's just absolutely appalling that this Government is using them as purely a political stunt. These are people with hopes, dreams and aspirations, mortgages, like everyone throughout Australia, and for them to be treated with such disdain and contempt, is absolutely abominable. The Prime Minister must put an end to this immediately.
FITZGIBBON: Thanks everyone, thanks for coming

The last time the air was this bad in Beijing, the air monitor attached to the U.S. embassy pumped out a reading which was labeled by a staff member as "crazy bad." That was two years ago.
This time, it's worse. "This is emergency level air pollution," said Alex Wang, an environmental law professor at University of California-Berkeley, who specializes in China's environmental regulations.
One of Beijing's biggest hospitals, Peking University Hospital, reported treating twice as many heart attacks over the weekend. The Beijing children's hospital said a third of its outpatient visits in the past two days were due to lung ailments.
Last year, China saw an uptick in protests from the country's growing middle class over environmental concerns; concerns that Wang says could now be reaching a tipping point.
"For a while now, the government has been aware that environmental pollution issues very much have the potential to trigger instability," says Wang, "So they've responded to this gradually, but it seemingly has not gotten better."
Beijing has moved factories outside the city and tightened vehicle emissions standards, but Zhou Rong of Greenpeace Asia says this time around, the smog is coming from smaller cities outside the capital — places where local governments have done little to curb pollution in their quest for more economic growth.
"Especially for the local government, I think, should really need to balance the GDP growth and the people's health," says Zhou.
In the end, better air would help the economy. The World Bank found that China's air pollution causes damage equal to 5 percent of the country's GDP, or $360 billion, each year.

How much Child Support will I have to pay my Child's Mother (or father)?
The logical starting point for child support calculations and how to make them should begin with the Statute. Miss. Code Ann. Section 43-19-101. Before we take a look at the statute, understand that child support is an amount (usually a percentage) that is taken from a person's income to pay the support. The income amount [..]

Harry Potter: Harry Potter And The Legacy Of Hogwarts Part 24 - Godric And Goat Fuckers
by AvaTrek ([email protected])
The second match of the Suck-off League was well underway for the Gryffindor team. Mary and Chi had done their part and started Gryffindor off on the right foot. Each girl had gotten their boy to blow their load faster by almost a minute each. Luna made short work of the next boy, receiving a hot stick load across her cheeks before Ginny won the fourth round in less than a minute, swallowing a massive load well under a minute before the Ravenclaw competitor could do the same. It was all up to Lily Evans to cap off the match with a perfect Gryffindor score, and she easily accomplished that, beating the Ravenclaw star player Pandora by only a few seconds.
"Way to go team!" Lily cheered on her teammates as she licked the last of her boy's cum from her lips and smacked each of her teammates' pert young asses in celebration. "All that hard work is really paying off. Slytherin won't have a shot at beating us this year!"
"Not with all the practice we've been getting lately. Too bad there isn't a fuck-off championship as well. My pussy has been getting a lot of practice," Ginny replied as she and the rest of the Gryffindor team joined the crowd of spectators for the Slytherin and Hufflepuff match.
"Hermione may pose a problem though. She's really come into her own now that she's accepted being a slut," Lily replied looking a little worried about her only competition. Indeed, Hermione had truly accepted her status as a super slut at Hogwarts, sucking and fucking every cock she could find. Little did anyone know however, the real Hermione Granger was actually still a captive of the diabolical Lord Voldemort, having her ass rammed full of cock by the Dark Lord again and again. The imposter Hermione, Bellatrix Lestrange, had been sent by Lord Voldemort to spy and retrieve valuable information for the Dark Lord. For all intensive purposes, the imposter believed she was Hermione Granger, and because of a special batch of polyjuice potion brewed in one of the magical sexual artifacts, she would continue to look like Hermione for up to a year.
"She must be taking burberry humdinger potion, because her cock sucking skills have really improved!" Luna added as they watched the Slytherin Suck-off team destroy the Hufflepuff squad. Hermione capped off the shutout with the most skillfull blowjob Lily had ever seen, getting the boy to explode all over her pretty face in mere seconds.
While the Gryffindor and Slytherin Suck-off teams destroyed their competition, guzzling cock and cum like professionals, Harry Potter was in search of the final 2 sexual magical artifacts. He had no idea that the imposter Hermione had already discovered Ravenclaw's piercings, but he did know that Slytherin's cauldron and Hufflepuff's bracelet's were in Draco Malfoy's possession. He had been distracted by all the pussy being thrown at him since arriving back in time to the Hogwarts of 1976, but as Christmas approached, he knew he needed to locate and acquire all 4 of the magical sexual artifacts and return to his time to stop Lord Voldemort's evil plans. After extensive research into the history of Rowena Ravenclaw, Harry finally discovered a passage in an old tome in the library about the sexual proclivities of the 4 founders of Hogwarts.
'Slytherin had his cauldron, brewing the most powerful love and sex potions of his age; Hufflepuff had her bracelet, which she wore to clear her mind of the sexual urges she continually felt; Ravenclaw had her piercings, stimulating her sexual pursuits; and Gryffindor had his --'
By what he read of Ravenclaw's piercings and the fact that Hermione had gone through about a thousand orgasms during their week long fuckfest in the Room of Requirement, Harry deduced that she had been using them ever since and they were likely safe for the time-being. Harry read the passage and copied it, noticing that the last bit of the page had been torn away recently. Someone was obviously after Gryffindor's magical sexual artifact, and that someone was likely Draco Malfoy.
Malfoy had been in the Hogwarts of 1976 for nearly 4 months now and the stress of locating and acquiring all the founders' sexual artifacts was getting to him. It helped that every single girl in the school seemed alright with helping him relieve that stress whenever he wanted to, but if he didn't complete his mission for the Dark Lord soon, he would pay with his life.
"Snape! Have you figured out where Gryffindor's artifact is yet?" Malfoy demanded of Severus Snape as he bent over the torn piece of paper detailing Gryffindor's magical sexual artifact.
"Quiet Draco! If I had fewer interruptions, I would have something to report to you," Snape spat back, not relishing the fact that Malfoy was apparently above him in the Dark Lord's eyes.
"The sooner you find me that artifact, the sooner you can have your reward. You still want that Mudblood pussy Lily Evans right?" Malfoy jeered him, knowing full well that Snape would do anything to ensure the Mudblood was his and his alone.
"The passage hints at Gryffindor's secret office, one which always forms to the seekers needs," Snape replied, confused by what the passage meant.
"Hmmm, I think I know exactly where it is," Malfoy replied thoughtfully. Apparently the magical artifact was in the Room of Requirement, but he would need to ask the room exactly what he wanted to get into Gryffindor's secret sanctuary. "See if you can find out anything on Rowena Ravenclaw's piercings while I check this lead out," Malfoy ordered Snape, before leaving the Slytherin common room, unaware that he was being followed.
The real Hermione Granger was still imprisoned at the Riddle House, constantly abused and fucked at Voldemort's will. He had taken her up her tight muggle-born ass more times than he could count, filled her rectum with his seed and covered her face with load after load of hot cum. Her will was nearly broken as Voldemort, after weeks of being the only one to fuck her sweet teenage ass, started rewarding his most loyal followers by letting them abuse Hermione's tight ass. As long as they did not take her virginity, which was being saved, or permanently disfigure the young witch, they could do whatever they pleased. Lucius Malfoy and Augustus Rookwood were currently spit roasting her in the main dining hall as a group of Death Eaters, along with Voldemort himself, watched on intently.
"Ohhhh fuck! Not so hard, please!" Hermione complained, in the second of oxygen she was able to suck in after having Rookwood's cock, balls deep, down her throat. Hermione was bent over being spit roasted like a slut, with Lucius Malfoy pounding into her ass as hard as he could.
"Silencio!" Rookwood shouted, pointing his wand at Hermione to stop her whining. Hermione tried to protest, but no sound came out before Rookwood slammed his full 6 inches back down her throat, face fucking her furiously.
"Who the fuck knew a Mudblood could have such a tight ass!" Lucius groaned, quickly approaching his end, but wanting to last just a little bit longer.
"Perhaps your wife should take lessons from this muggle whore Lucius," Voldemort replied, causing the nearby Narcissa to blush and the other Death Eaters to laugh raucously. Hermione was pounded hard from both ends and before long an orgasm shook through her body and her cum started running down her leg as the Death Eaters cheered on Lucius and Rookwood in approval for getting the Mudblood to cum.
"Unghhhhh!" Grunted Rookwood seconds later, pulling his cock out Hermione's mouth at the last second and blowing a massive load of hot sticky cum all over her pretty face. Hermione stood there, bent over, still getting ass fucked hard, and just took the humiliation as Rookwood wiped his softening cock off in her brunette curls.
"Good show Rookwood! Now Lucius, if you don't mind hurrying up and filling up that Mudblood ass, we have work to do," Voldemort commended Rookwood, before ordering Malfoy.
"Yes my Lord! Unghhhhhhhhh! Fucking take it you Mudblood slut!" Lucius shouted in relief as he slammed his hips forward and started unloading stream after stream of his warm seed deep into Hermione's rectum. Lucius slowly slid his shrinking cock from her tight ass as a rush of hot cum came pouring out. Hermione promptly collapsed to the ground, sticky cum still pouring from her ass.
While Hermione continued to be abused like a common whore at the Riddle House, Harry had come up with a brilliant plan to find the final magical sexual artifact. He had gotten his invisibility cloak from his trunk and followed the unsuspecting Draco Malfoy after his conversation with Snape. He knew Malfoy had torn out the passage on Gryffindor's artifact and the only way he'd find it was by following Malfoy. He was actually quite proud of himself for coming up with the idea. Usually this was something that Hermione would think of, but since becoming a super slut, all she now cared about was taking cock 24/7. Malfoy made it to the seventh floor before Harry realized where they were going. The room of requirement again. Hermione had found Ravenclaw's piercings there when they had gone there for their week long orgy, but obviously Gryffindor's artifact was in the room as well. The room always changed to the user's request and needs, so by asking it to transform into a different room, Malfoy was hoping to find the final artifact. He watched as Draco walked back and forth beside the blank stretch of wall until an ornate gold door appeared with roaring lions imprinted and finely wrought on the door panneling and handles.
"I fucking knew it!" Malfoy said with glee, before Harry stunned him from beneath his cloak. Malfoy crumbled to the floor just as he was opening the door. Harry made sure to kick the unconscious Malfoy in the stomach before walking through the doors and making sure they were locked once inside.
"Whoa!" Harry said instantly, as he took in his surroundings. The room had changed into some kind of personal quarters, presumeably those of Godric Gryffindor when he was at Hogwarts. And to Harry's amazement, much of the instruments, books and objects in the room were of a very graphic and sexual nature. Leather whips, harnesses, gags, bindings, sex toys and bondage equipment were neatly organized throughout the room. Books on sex positions, spells and potions were filled large bookcases positioned on one side of the room. Harry couldn't help but shout in glee as he approached Gryffindor's desk to see the final object in a glass display case, just sitting there, waiting for him. A note on top read:
'To whomever discovers my secret Hogwarts study: The magical world was on the brink of dying. The population of witches and wizards was decreasing at a substantial rate. With the help of Rowena, Helga and Salazar, we have created four powerful objects which alters inhibitions, bewitches the minds of witches and wizards, modifies the pleasure centers throughout the body and above all, increases the sex drives of witches and wizards across the world. We hope that this will be enough to spur on magical growth among the population and save the magical world. Separately, each of the objects bestows great magical and sexual power upon the user, but together, they are able to sexually enslave the entire magical and non-magical world to do the user's bidding.
Mine own contribution is the source of the increase in sexual proclivities among the magical population. The Wand of Sexual Destiny, or the Sex Stick has two functions. Its primary function is to emanate a sexual frequency across the magical world that greatly increases the sex drives of the magical population. It's secondary function is that of a wand with binding properties. Each spell cast by the wand will be permanent unless lifted by said wand. Use this object with great care, for its power can be devastating if used incorrectly.'
"Holy fuck! I've hit the fucking jackpot!" Harry shouted in excitement, grabbing the note and stuffing it in his pocket before stowing his own wand in his robes and picking up the Wand of Sexual Destiny. Harry could feel the sexual energy emanating from the wand, his cock immediately getting hard.
"Engorgio!" He said, pulling down his pants and letting his hard 7 inch cock spring free before casting the size altering spell at it. Harry's hard cock immediately grew to a full foot in length, increasing in width as well. "Excellent!" Harry laughed, thinking about how the girls of Hogwarts would handle the all new Harry. Now that he had one magical sexual artifact, he was determined to find the other 3 and become master of sex. He left the room shortly after, kicking Malfoy in the face before making his way down to the Slytherin common room, where he hoped to find her, fuck her and relieve Hermione of Ravenclaw's piercings, then maybe fuck her again.
The imposter Hermione was busy at the moment though. After helping Slytherin shut out the Hufflepuff Suck-off team, she was on her way to meet her newest client. Ever since Slughorn had contracted her to be one of his whores, she had been fucking clients nearly every night. She had more galleons than she knew what to do with, but she really didn't whore herself out for the gold anyways. With Ravenclaw's piercings and her own sexual appetite, Hermione would have fucked them all for free. Her pussy was already dripping wet before she even made it to Slughorn's classroom, where she met all her clients. Many used Slughorn's personal fireplace, entering Hogwarts by Floo powder to fuck her in private, away from the prying eyes of their wives and families. Hermione also had a few clients from Hogwarts, but many of the students and staff didn't have the kind of gold it took to buy Hermione Granger's sweet teenage pussy.
"Well good evening Miss Stranger! I have another client for you just about to arrive. He's an older gentleman from Hogsmeade and has, how should I put this, a fetish of the furry variety. If you could just hop into this little costume, I'm sure your client will be very appreciative," Horace Slughorn informed Hermione. He held up a vest and stockings made out of what looked like goat or sheep's wool.
"A real fucking weirdo, eh Professor?" Hermione commented, stripping out of her slutty school uniform without a second thought. She saw Slughorn's cock stiffen underneath his robes and grinned.
"Yes he's definitely unique. He has already paid me for your services and requests that you say nothing as he takes you, only 'bah' like a goat," Slughorn replied, obviously a little taken aback at what he was asking Hermione to do, as she slipped on the vest and stockings. Her neatly trimmed teen pussy and perfect breasts were completely visible as she stood there looking confused. "Get into position on your hands and knees looking away from he fireplace. He wishes for discretion and does not want you seeing his face."
"Whatever the old fuck wants I guess," she replied, getting on her hands and knees, with her pussy and ass pointed towards the fireplace. The freaky situation had her pussy dripping wet as she waited with her pussy and ass completely exposed.
"I will leave you to it Miss Stranger and see you tomorrow night for your next client," Slughorn told her, groping her pert teen ass once before leaving the room and Hermione on her hands and knees waiting to get fucking by a mysterious goat loving fuck. There was woosh of sound and green light as the fire flared and someone stepped out of the hearth. Hermione began to bah as she heard the old man lick his lips and pull off his robes. "Bahhhhh, bahhhh, bahhhh!"
"You're a bad little girl aren't you? You just need a good hard fucking, that's all," said a rough voice as he dropped to his knees behind Hermione and grabbed her tight ass with both hands.
"Bahhh, bahhhhhh!" Sounded Hermione. She was on the point of laughing at the crazy old fuck until she felt the tip of his cock push into her tight pussy. She gasped in shock as the old man, drove more and more of his cock into her, grabbing her hips for extra leverage. Hermione eye's shot wide open in surprise as the old man sank 8 inches balls deep into her tight wet pussy. In that second of shock, Hermione saw the reflection of the mysterious old man in a shiny silver cauldron in the corner of the room. She immediately recognized the old coot as the bartender of the Hogs Head as he continued to rut his cock in and out of her tight pussy. Her pussy piercing had regrown her hymen earlier and blood was trickling down her leg as she shuttered from an orgasm that rocked her body due to the current pussy piercing. The old man's hands moved from her hips, upwards to her bouncing tits before he grabbed hold of her nipple piercings and tugged on them with each thrust of his hips.
"This is one tight young kid! I've never had a nanny this wet!" The old man groaned, referring to a baby and female goat. His thrusts soon became frantic and wild as he pulled harder on Hermione's nipple piercings, coming close to ripping them out until he slammed his hips forward one more time, grunted, and started filling up Hermione's vulnerable womb with load after load of his hot potent cum. Hermione went through her second orgasm as she felt the sticky seed gush into her pussy and fill her up to the brim.
"Bahhhhhhh!" She said one final time, shuddering in orgasm and enjoying the sensation of being full of hot cum again.
"You should whelp a few nice strong kids with that," he groaned, pulling his now limp cock from her overflowing pussy and getting dressed as Hermiome slumped down exhausted. She could feel his warm seed leaking from her pussy and down her thigh as the fireplace whooshed again and the bartender of the Hogs Head left her to enjoy her aftersex bliss.
"I better go see Madam Pomfrey again. I'm sure she won't be surprised to see me. Lucky number seven," she moaned to herself, referring to the number of kids she had popped out since Halloween. "What a crazy old fuck!"

The Nose : Praline rapidly combines with citron and dried figs. Darker underlying iodine and peaty notes also emerge.
The Palate : There is an apparent paradox, with concentration and movement vying for ascendancy. The structure of the wine is tense and assertive. Its energy, almost tactile, is contained for a moment before vibrating and exploding. Its opulence then becomes superbly persistent, trenchant and persuasive.

Jules Sealby Counselling & Psychotherapy
About Me
About My Practice
About Psychodynamic Counselling
There are many counselling modalities, and knowing which to choose can be a challenge.
The type of counselling I offer is called 'Psychodynamic' counselling. Put simply, this means we think about your current situation, your past experiences and the counselling relationship to understand more about the root cause of unhappiness or distress. We also uncover feelings that have thus far been hidden to us, offering us a new or different perspective. This insight can enable change and leave behind old patterns of behaving that are no longer helpful to us.
It may be helpful to know that studies have shown that 'a good fit' between counsellor and client has the greatest impact, regardless of modality. Psychodynamic counselling has this relationship at the centre of the work.

How Can I Make Her Love Me Again? Break Up Advice Just for Men
"How can I make her love me again?" That's a question that many men before you have asked and many to come will as well. It's a very common question after a break up if your heart is still with your ex. We all know that there's great value in letting go of the past and finding the will to move forward but what if you can't? What if you're so deeply in love with your ex girlfriend that you can't even envision getting involved with anyone else? Is there a way to rekindle the past or is your best choice letting time pass so eventually you'll feel strong enough to let her go? Only you can answer that question but it's important to consider that love like that won't necessarily come along again in your lifetime.
Set the Past Straight Now
Before you can even begin to set out on a course to get her to love you again, you must right the past. If things were great between you two, the break up would never have happened. That's a fact. It's natural for us to want to point the finger of blame at our partner when we didn't want the break up, but that's not fair. Your girlfriend may have indeed been the one who told you she wanted things to be over but something drove her to that point. You must look honestly at the relationship and at what you could have done differently. Once you identify your own faults, it's time to apologize for them. By doing that you will be letting go of the negativity associated with the break up while at the same time ensuring anything that does happen in the future will be built on a better foundation.
Make a Positive Improvement to Yourself
As we move through each and every relationship we have in life we should always take something positive from the experience. We should also use the experience as a life lesson. Whatever you've learned during the time you spent with your ex girlfriend has changed you. Now is the time to take that change and run with it. Choose one thing about yourself that you know needs improving and then focus on doing just that. Not only will this help you to gain more self confidence (which can be in short supply after being dumped) but it will also benefit you as you work on getting your ex girlfriend to care for you the way she used to.
Live! Live! Live!
It's easy to fall into a depressive rut after the end of your relationship. It's natural and healthy to mourn the loss but there has to come a time when you let those feelings go and start to venture out into the world again. Don't hide yourself away after the break up. Get out and start living again. It's generally not a good idea for a man in your position to seek out another woman to date, but that's not to say that you can't go out with a group of friends. If you can allow the negativity to leave your body, and start smiling again while enjoying yourself, it will change your entire outlook.
It's vital that you don't rush the reconciliation process with your ex girlfriend and that you don't get too discouraged. You may feel ready to get back together today but it could take her some time to realize what she's lost. If you don't put too much pressure on her, that will help her see that you're focused on her best interests and not yours.
Become a supportive and positive force in her life. Let her see what a truly remarkable friend you can be and let her feelings settle. Once she starts to see how mature you are and how well you've handled yourself since the breakup, a lot of her old feelings are going to rise to the surface again and you two can then, together, decide what the next, best step is for both of you.
If patience isn't your strong suit and you can't imagine waiting weeks or months to get her back, there is a very effective way to draw her back to you. Most men don't realize that by using simple text messages they can create overwhelming emotions within their ex girlfriend that make her come running back ready to try again.

Our highest attendance in a day goes up to 81 teens! Due to the demand, we have to expand our computer room as we currently only have 6 PC's for the teens to use for school work. We want to expand to 12 PC's. In order for us to do the project, we require the funding of the community and those who have a heart to support those in need as we rely on donations as a NPO & PBO. UVS saw our need and invested toward it. We are very grateful..

What To Do With All Those Mini Pumpkins… Hint: It Involves Your Oven!
Our mystery box has kept us well supplied with mini pumpkins this fall. For several weeks we've enjoyed them displayed on a white platter in the middle of the dining room table as a simple centerpiece. So lovely. But it turns out that mini pumpkins are not just decoration—they're edible! Read on for recipes, ideas and inspiration…
For savory pumpkins:
Wash your pumpkins and cut off the top the same way you would a regular sized jack-o-lantern. Scoop out the seeds, hollow out a bit if necessary and stuff with a filling of your choice. Place on a sheet pan and roast in a 350 degree oven until the flesh is soft and the filling hot. Suggested fillings:
- a dab of butter, a small clove of garlic and a sage leaf or thyme sprig. Or add a tablespoon or two of cream.
- the stuffing of your choice.
- a soup such as Pumpkin Tortilla, Pomegranate Lentil, Hearty Kale and Sausage, Black Bean.
- roasted vegetables like brussels sprouts, cauliflower or red onion.
- a cooked grain such as quinoa, couscous or bulgar mixed with green onion, currants and pinenuts.
- do a mini version of Dorie Greenspan's Filled Pumpkin recipe.
- use as a cocotte for baked eggs with a little butter and cream and perhaps a crumble of already-cooked bacon.
For sweet pumpkins:
Cut off the tops a little lower down to expose a larger surface area. Scrape out seeds and use the minis the same way you would a ramekin.
- fill with pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin pie or creme brulee batter. Bake at the temperature called for in the recipe; you may have to bake a little longer as the pumpkin's sides and flesh are thicker than most ramekins. If you think you'll miss the crust on the pumpkin pie, cut decorative leaves from pie dough, bake, and use as an edible garnish.
- simply dot with butter and sugar or maple syrup and bake.
- bake the lids along side of the bottoms and use as a decoration on your final plating.
Of course, there are many crafty projects for mini pumpkins that don't involve eating them:
- hollow out and use as a votive; or insert an empty glass votive, fill with water and use as a vase.
- with a sharpie and your best penmanship, write guests' name on a pumpkin and use as a place holder.
- or use one pumpkin per letter and line them up on the mantle to say 'welcome" or "Happy Thanksgiving."

It does not steal a phenomenon for one to cognize that tattoos are comme il faut ineradicable in our social group nowadays. People from all walks of duration are exploit themselves inked for a variety of reasons. For some, the reasons are just skin-deep: to upsurge their "level of sexiness" up a few notches, to determine themselves beside a bunch of tattooed individuals, or to games their freedom and be caller. But for some, it involves a deeper, spiritual substance.
Religious tattoos are relatively prevailing now. We see fractious tattoos or pious symbols and imagery self sported by disparate individuals on all sides. And, in all truthfulness, a few of these individuals do not fit into the bill of what a holy soul should be. But one sound out remains: Is tattooing of spiritual symbols customary as a divine act? It would depend on which sacred sector you belong to, and on what your ceremonial beliefs are.
The reaching of pious tattoos dates back to the pre-biblical era when the art of tattooing was wide skilled by the pagans as a ability of admiration until it was unthinkable when Constantine became the crowned head of Rome. According to Leviticus 19:28: "You shall not label any cuttings in your flesh for the dead; neither shall you net in yourselves any information or results. I am the Lord." This after became the spring for Christians to avoid tattooing.Post ads:

Islam mental object forbids any actually alterations made as a way to deepen carnal beauty, and this includes thing tattoos. Generally, the Muslim civilisation likewise considers tattoos unacceptable; as capably as time-honored Jews. However, conceivably due to the dynamical of the times, this thing art is now easy human being recognised by these divine sectors, though not as a sacred act.
But in more than a few Asian cultures, having religious tattoos is tralatitious dummy run. It is public institution for Buddhist monks to deterioration tattoos that are believed to individual off bad chance and heinous spirits, and thus serve as an talisman. In Hindu religion, tattooing is too public custom as constituent of their philosophy. For the Egyptians, sacred tattoos such as as The Eye Of Horus likewise serves as lagging from nefarious spirits, to carry better luck, and to indefinite quantity passage into after-life.
In recent times, sacred tattoos give the impression of being to be only that: a surface imitation of a once-revered signal. The Ankh, Ichthus, the Sacred Heart and the Crucifix of the Christians; the Star of David, Menorah, and Allah symbols of the Islams; the Eye of Horus, Yin Yang, Dharma, and another religious symbols for dissimilar sacred sectors are seen ragged by population who do not dry run the religious belief.Post ads:

But it is likewise middling rampant for a personage to performance his keenness by having something of saintly need carved on his thing even on this day and age. So the request for information of whether ceremonial tattoos are impermissible or not lies on the of her own cognitive content of the user. It is no longest determined by social group but by how one chose to establish his belongings. Tattoos, like religion, have turn a in the flesh piece.


text: Hi, some native machines on test.winehq time out the winmm:wave tests. http://test.winehq.org/data/8c00ee0beff1a9a6be08f32d821186c798d15b9d/win7_win7-x64/winmm:wave.html Their logs show that they play ~25 times 1 second silence and a few times 0.5 second silence. I believe winetest.exe kills tests that take longer than 30 seconds. That explains the apparent timeout. The reason that they play that long is that they are equipped with several sound cards, each of which being used in turn. It's good IMHO that all sound cards are used. However, we should evaluate whether all combinations of flags that winmm:wave tests make sense or whether some could be played shorter than 1s. Or perhaps increase the timeout for winmm:wave?

"Through Feeding America's network of food banks they are able to service hungry people in every county in the United States. They are everywhere we have restaurants or will eventually have restaurants," said Knight.
Doug Montgomery, director of new business and partnership development at Feeding America said, "We are very excited Wingstop has chosen to partner with Feeding America to help end domestic hunger and look forward to expanding the relationship in the years to come."

My goal with creating, revamping, and sharing recipes with you is to streamline ingredients and time in the kitchen while providing you with a tasty dish that's also friendly on your digestion and waistline.
If you're looking for recipes that have 10+ ingredients; require you to make multiple trips around town to 3 different grocery stores in order to make ONE recipe, I'll direct you to fitness foodies I follow. I like to refer to them as #ChumpStatus Chefs. Because basically, anytime I have tried making said recipe that requires that much work, it's really never worth it and makes me feel like a chump.
Seriously, 9 times out of 10 I see delicious-looking pictures of food, follow the link for the recipe and BOOM….it requires tons of things I don't have in the pantry, nor care to buy and then I get sad….melodramatic, I know.
Rant over. On with the Recipe: Gluten Free Oat-Flax Chicken Tenders
Ingredients: (Serves 4 people at 4oz. per serving)
-1 pound chicken tenders
– 1/2 cup of gluten free quick oats (I prefer Bob's Red Mill)
– 1/4 cup flaxseeds
– 6 Tablespoons of Nutritional Yeast Flakes (YOU MUST KEEP THESE IN YOUR PANTRY)
**They're the money ingredient in lots of my recipes
– 1/2 c. eggwhites
– Splashes of balsamic vinegar
Spices I used below: Feel free to use your own and get creative
( I don't measure spices, I just sprAnkle liberally)
– Cayenne Pepper
– Garlic & Herb
– Celery Seed (Rick said this made the chicken tenders taste like Thanksgiving dressing)
– Ground Mustard
– Preheat oven to 350 degrees
– Spray clear baking dish with organic cooking spray
– Combine oats, flaxseeds, and nutritional yeast flakes and pulse them in a food processor and place in a bowl. Add sprAnkles of the spices I used or any spices you prefer.
– Pour egg whites and balsamic vinegar in a seperate bowl.
– Dip chicken tenders in wet ingredients then dry ingredients and place in prepared glass baking dish.
– Bake for about 20-25 minutes and DONE!
**I like to spray each chicken tender with cooking spray before putting it in the oven to make sure the crust doesn't dry out during baking.
Nutritional Breakdown is based on all the ingredients listed above for a 4 oz. serving of chicken tenders.
I plated these with asparagus (I eat it like candy) and homemade baked sweet potato fries.

By day, he defends the accused in Scotland's courts of law.
By night, respected defence lawyer Willie McIntyre turns his experience of being involved in high profile criminal cases into thrilling bedtime reads!
The 56-year-old published Relatively Guilty, his first page turning paperback featuring 'legal eagle' Robbie Munro in 2011.
Duty Man, Sharp Practice, Killer Contract and Last Will followed at regular intervals and all became best sellers on Amazon.
Present Tense, the latest to be added to his The Best Defence series, is the first to go straight to print and will be published by Sandstone Press on September 15.
It will be followed by number eight, Good News, Bad News, in April with Last Will, number six in the series, scheduled to appear in book stores next November.
Present Tense has received critical acclaim and been described as: "Crime with an edge of dark humour. The Best Defence Series could only come out of Scotland."
The Journal of the Law Society of Scotland published a review which observed: "All novels written by Scottish criminal lawyers are rubbish. This book is written by a Scottish criminal lawyer, therefore this book is rubbish. Correct?
"No, it is a splendid to encounter the first exception to that rule. Filled with healthy cynicism and witty asides which one tends only to find in criminal courts, this is great stuff."
Over the last five years McIntyre, born and raised in Linlithgow but now living with wife, Gillian, and their four boys in Falkirk, has drawn on over 30 years experience of court work to turn fact into fiction and bring his 'hero' who, in a neat touch is based in the author's home town, to life.
The series from the senior partner in the Russel & Aitken law firm, Scotland's oldest, is a gritty and entertaining account of the trials and tribulations that face Munro on an almost daily basis and full of characters loosely based on some of the clients McIntyre has had and the people he has met down the years.
He said: "I started off writing stories that centre around a criminal defence lawyer and, while the people involved are fiction, most of the cases are fact and based on ones I have been involved in.
"There are plots in each book which are interwoven and I think come together nicely. I would say I deal with dark subjects with a wry Scottish sense of humour."
McIntyre takes satisfaction from the fact his books have been acknowledges as "something different".
He describes the rich vein of dry humour which runs through the series as "an antidote to crime fiction featuring maverick cops chasing serial killers, emphasising justice is not only about convicting the guilty, but acquiting the innocent."
The demands placed on a criminal defence lawyer at the top of his game are high.
McIntyre used to coach a youth football team to ease the stress levels. Now it's writing legal thrillers that help him relax.
He admits he did not anticipate Munro having such a lengthy career.
"The first six I battered out on my Ipad on the kitchen table were published on line and I thought 'that's that' but then Sandstone Press called and said number seven would go straight to print. I hadn't really thought that far ahead."

Four Steps To Protect A Windfall By Marcia Passos

4 Steps To Protect A Windfall By Marcia Passos Duffy • Bankrate.com
It may seem like a problem you'd love to have: Deciding what to do with a sudden inheritance from a long lost relative or a big win in the lottery.
But, as the sad tales of some lottery winners clearly demonstrate, sudden wealth could quickly spiral into a living nightmare -- with the loss of not only wealth, but also family, friends and even health.
If you're lucky enough to receive a windfall, understanding the psychology of sudden wealth can help you take the right steps to protect your money and lifestyle.
"People think windfalls are about money. But it's really all about change and transition ... and people need time to adjust," says Susan Bradley, a CFP who is the founder of the Sudden Money Institute in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., and author of "Sudden Money: Managing a Financial Windfall."
Money shock isn't necessarily limited to those who get millions suddenly deposited into their bank account.
In fact, unexpectedly getting as little as three months' worth of salary in one lump sum can set off a chain reaction of panic, guilt and fear for some, according to psychologist Dennis Pearne, co-author of "The Challenges of Wealth" and a wealth counselor and consultant based in Framingham, Mass.
"A person making $60,000 a year ... who suddenly has $15,000 plopped in their lap" can go into money shock, Pearne says.
Following are four steps that can help you adjust to a new financial reality after a windfall.
Step 1: Money moratorium
The shock of a sudden windfall can set off a litany of irrational behaviors, such as giving all the money away, becoming a recluse, spending the money lavishly, and hiding or hoarding the money. Other hallmarks of money shock include engaging in self-destructive and expensive activities such as drinking, using drugs, gambling and sex addiction, says Pearne.
Bradley says such problems stem from the fact that most people don't understand the limits of their new wealth, especially if the windfall is relatively large.
"(The money) can seem infinite ... people often get an 'I'm invincible, anything is possible' feeling," she says.
These powerful emotions may create trouble for those with new wealth.
To counteract these emotions, it's important to allow time to adjust to the new wealth circumstances that follow a windfall. Pearne and Bradley recommend that people who receive a windfall do nothing with their money for at least a few months, if not an entire year.
That means saying "no" to gifts for family or friends, new investments, lavish cars or house purchases, and trips around the world. It's not even wise to retire.
"Park your money someplace safe where it won't depreciate and take a money holiday," Pearne says. He recommends CDs as one possible home for the new cash.
Bradley says the money moratorium acts as a timeout that allows you to come to grips with your new financial situation, set the stage for better decision-making and get your emotions under control.
"Emotionally, a windfall results in a stress reaction," Bradley says. "When people are in that state, they are using their reptilian brain and are prone to react rather than respond."
During the money moratorium, there is a lot of work that needs to be done. While the money is safely parked in CDs for six months to a year, start to assemble a team of advisers you trust, including a fee-based financial planner, an estate attorney, a money manager who has experience with high net worth individuals and an accountant, Bradley says.
"This is a time to discover, organize and explore," Bradley says.
Step 2: Emotional inventory
Sudden wealth can lead to what psychologist Pearne calls "identity dissolution." All the parameters set up in life that define identity are suddenly gone.
After an especially large windfall, traditional work may become an option rather than a necessity; all the years of school training to get to a skill level are no longer necessary for survival.
Social circles -- the people who you hang out with in your socioeconomic sphere -- may change. People also may come out of the woodwork looking for a handout, children may demand more money, and family members or friends may feel resentful or become predatory, he says.
"Everything a person has spent decades building changes in one fell swoop," Pearne says.
He says that in his practice, he notices that about half the people who attain sudden riches spiral into self-destructive behaviors.
"This is because the existential question 'Who am I?' has suddenly changed by light-years," Pearne says.
When a windfall is the result of the death of a family member, it is doubly confusing, Bradley says. Grieving heirs may also feel guilty at being secretly thrilled about the money
Psychological problems can arise if friends and family are unsympathetic to the stresses of new wealth and cannot help them with this unusual dilemma. Unlike other types of major transitions -- such as divorce, a move or death of a loved one -- the transition into money is not something that is seen as a "problem" by society, Bradley says.
Pearne suggests therapy -- ideally with a professional who has experience in the psychology of sudden wealth -- to help resolve some of these issues.
Step 3: Set aside play money
Alan Moore, founder of Serenity Financial Consulting in Shorewood, Wis., advises people who receive inheritances or large bonuses from work to set the money aside into a bank account that isn't used for day-to-day transactions.
"This way, you aren't seeing the money every time you log in to check your bank balance," he says. "Seeing a large sum of money every day makes you much more likely to spend it."
But that doesn't mean you have to avoid touching it altogether. Give yourself permission to celebrate by spending some of the cash doing something fun.
One rule of thumb is to earmark 10 percent of your cash as fun money. But, Moore says, it depends on your situation, and the size of the windfall.
"I do think that windfall recipients should spend some of the money on themselves," he says. He recommends taking a vacation as a great way to spend the money.
"Anything that is going to lead to memorable experiences is likely going to be better than buying more stuff," he adds.
Step 4: Review after one year
Bradley documents three phases of sudden money in her book. She says the first phase encompasses a steep learning curve that can last for as long as five years, much like a grieving process.
"It is longer if the money was the result of the death of a loved one," Bradley says.
Although the adjustment to a windfall can take five years, it's wise to review your situation and make some decisions at the one-year anniversary of your financial upturn, she says.
Once you begin to become comfortable in your new financial reality, you may be ready for the successive phases, which include reviewing your situation and deciding how the money will be used, Bradley says.
This is the fun part, when you'll choose -- with the help of your trusted advisers and a solid financial plan -- whether to retire, buy a vacation home, donate to charities or set up trust funds for your children.

A very important part of my childhood was the music which used to be played almost constantly, or so it seemed, on the record player in my parent's house. What my parents lacked as responsible adults with children in their care, at the very least they partially compensated, albeit unwittingly, providing an education in music which drew from a highly eclectic collection of records.
Miriam Makeba became a sensation because of her opposition to apartheid in her native South Africa, and was banished. Living in exile for several decades she gave concerts internationally and cut a large number of records, most of which my parents bought, and appeared on television. Her voice seemed to me to be the voice of Africa, and I was fascinated, and still am, by the clicking sound made in her language, which is clearly heard in the following clips.

The old minaret adjacent to St Nikolaos church is a perfect reminder of the way the East met the West in the town I made my home, Chania, Crete, Greece. The photographs I post all help to tell a part of a longer story that focuses on the town and its citizens, whether they are living there now, or have made their home in other parts of the world. As a newer resident, by writing about the town in this way, I am trying to put some order into the chaos that I seem to be confronted with.

Terraced houses
These houses are found in the area of Koum Kapi, what was once a seedy neighbourhood by the old port. The area has now been transformed into the centre of summer nightlife, filled with cafes frequented by university students in the winter (ie, prime property). The change from 'undesirable' to 'up-and-coming' neighbourhood can be seen on the left: one of those terraced houses has become a brand new multi-story apartment building.

change for the better?!ReplyDelete
I saw that same phenomenon in Tel Aviv on the street that goes along the Med.ReplyDelete
Great change. I like this house, the new one. Maybe the whole neighbourhood must renovate their homes.ReplyDelete
Glad I have you to put the details straight about all things Greek Orthodox. Thanks for the input on Clean Monday / Καθαρά Δευτέρα.ReplyDelete
Have a good one.
I think that "Prime Property" and "Student Accommodation" are incompatible terms :-DReplyDelete
You can't imagine what passes as student accommodation (Well, that is judging by my experiences both in GR and UK)

I do think the "transition" idea is growing everywhere. I know in some of the neighborhoods in Dayton, which has been a city of declining neighborhoods, is now transforming some of the old factory buildings and warehouses into modern, upscale apartments and condos.ReplyDelete

I like the "before" and "after" pictures of all the things, especially when they show something positive and good!ReplyDelete
Hi Mediterranean kiwi ,ReplyDelete
When my partner was made redundant from his job in 2003 he took a 5 month career break in Chania and lived in Koum Kapi. We both loved it and last year I bought a renovated house there.
Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your blog - helps get me through the British winter!
Take some pictures now, before all the little houses are replaced by apartment blocks and gone for ever!ReplyDelete

S: Thanksgiving Memories
BC: "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails." - I Cor. 13:4-8a
FC: Thanksgiving Memories
2: Ever since I can remember, Thanksgiving was a big deal. Thanksgiving for our family has always been more than dressing, angel biscuits, sweet potato casserole, and turkey (the bird and the cookies). Thanksgiving for our family is a reunion. Thanksgiving means that you get to see family that may live hundreds of miles away, and even though you may only get to see those family members once or twice a year, they seem closer to you than your neighbor next door. As we get together to share that common meal, usually about thirty minutes late, we share friendship. But the most important part of Thanksgiving is the spiritual fellowship that we share with so many. Every year at Thanksgiving our spiritual family is also our literal family. It is always such a blessing to see the new little ones at Thanksgiving every year, but we also rejoice with the new Christians in the group. It is far more than any common meal. I think that it took Lance a couple of years to truly realize what Thanksgiving was. As someone looking in from the outside, it was just a big family get together. That is how most people see it. They don't understand the scope of Thanksgiving for us. Someone recently asked me if we had everyone over at one house. I explained to them that we had to rent the community center. They asked, "How many of you are there?" All I could do was smile. It is true that we used to meet in one house. Aunt Wilma's house was bursting at the seams. I remember even having to set up tables outside because there were too many of us. That was perfect for cleaning up. And, as kids, we didn't have far to run to play at our favorite spot: the shed behind Buddy's house. It wasn't long before we had to move to a larger location. The Oak Grove Community Center was perfect. There were so many memories there already for the older family members. Now it was time for the younger family members to build lasting memories. The bathroom was always horrible, but the community center was perfectly placed across the street from the park. Our parents would faithfully help us cross the street and watch us play on the various equipment while holding our turkey cookies that we would come back to and nibble on throughout the day. One of the last times we met at the community center it was so cold. The only thing to do was light the heater. I don't think I will ever forget that ball of fire and the expressions on everyone's faces. Soon after that, we started renting the Ruritan building. This building had heating and air. It had a kitchen and room for the kids to play, but most importantly, it had more than one bathroom. And you knew that the toilet would flush. So in my time, I have seen Thanksgiving change location three times. I have priceless memories from all three venues. We usually start the Thanksgiving festivities around noon. I say "around noon" because there are usually some latecomers. Everyone blamed Daddy for making the Millers late. Mom always said that if everyone wanted hot angel biscuits then they could just wait. They have to rise, you know. I think Lance and I were the late ones last year. We were trying to visit with his family in the morning, and ended up being a few minutes late I heard plenty about how the apple didn't fall far from the tree. I think I was forgiven when I brought out food. Lunch lasts for a while as we talk about everything that has happened over the past year. We laugh at inside jokes and pick at each other and go back for seconds and sometimes thirds. Grandma and Aunt Wilma sneak a little piece of cake or pie. Some of the family still play volleyball or some sport outside, somehow keeping their lunch down.
3: The kids still play on the playground, and the new mothers give their babies a first taste of their Thanksgiving heritage. Unfortunately, that doesn't always mean they will sleep well that night. Someone usually produces sales papers, and a Black Friday plan is born as the pros and cons of various deals are weighed. A nap is often demanded before we come back in the evening for leftovers and bingo. Sometime around five or six we all start filtering back for "dinner". We raid the refrigerator and fix our own hodgepodge meal of leftover goodness. Some of the guys brag about the deer they bagged that afternoon or morning, and some of them even bring one for show and tell. Pretty soon, box after box of gift bags and wrapped presents are lined up in categories around the room. Bingo is about to begin. Pennies and game cards are passed around, and our Bingo Caller begins calling out those elusive letters and numbers that will determine our fate. Aunt Wilma watches the proceedings and tries to remember everything that she has wrapped up over the past year. Sometimes she directs a family member to a specific present, but most of the time, they choose their own gift from their category. I am not a young woman anymore, I noticed, but have to choose mine for the "Ladies" group. Somehow John always seems to win his turn pretty quickly. I still think there is some cheating going on during that game. We all watch as the most recent Bingo-er unwraps their present. Even Aunt Wilma has to watch half the time to remember what is underneath the wrapping. Everyone wins at the Bingo game, but you can't keep the gift bag. We used to play card games like Pit after dinner. As the grandchildren group got older, many of us drove down to Pensacola to watch a movie together. It wasn't long, though, before those grandchildren started having children, and that tradition stopped. The Gibson clan still gets together on Wednesday or Thursday to exchange their holiday gifts. I usually see several of them sporting their new something during the day. As the years have passed, Thanksgiving has changed. Some family members have moved away. others have moved back. The exact location of our traditions has changed. Some traditions have been added, and some lost. Some family members hare now married and must balance our Thanksgiving with responsibilities to other families. Some are now married and bring their new husband or wife to be initiated to the Gibson/O'Farrell way of doing things. New babies arrive every year. And, unfortunately, we are a few smiling faces less as members of our family go Home before us. This is Thanksgiving. I don't know what other people do, but I know that it isn't as great as ours. I've had so many perfect memories of Thanksgiving. I hope that our children can grow up with the same wonderful traditions to look forward to every year. Thank you all for being such wonderful examples as Christians, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, children, and friends. I love you all. Happy Thanksgiving. Sascha
4: "Thanksgiving is having the whole family together at once. It's the only time of the year that it happens." - Melanie
5: "I love the flag football games - especially the "old men" versus the young men. Whenever I forget which of those teams I'm supposed to be on, my aching knees remind me without a doubt." - Lance
6: "One of my favorite Thanksgiving memories would be when Leah and I used to dress up as pilgrims and Indians. If I remember correctly, she was the Pilgrim, and I was the Indian. I wore the beaded shirt that I made in school in the first grade, and my mom braided my hair for me (Sometimes Amanda did, too), and Leah wore a black dress with a white bonnet. We apparently thought we were cute." - Alli
7: "One of my favorite Thanksgiving memories was playing behind Buddy's house. We would cook 'food' in any containers we could find and clean his back stoop and shed with any cleaning supplies we could find. These included a mop that I'm pretty sure was not meant to be used outside. As we all outgrew make-believe play, I also enjoyed hanging out with the younger crowd Thursday nights." - Natasha
9: "My favorite Thanksgiving memory is playing behind Buddy's house and acting like we were homeless and starving, but thankfully, we found some AMAZING turkey cookies to survive on!" - Valerie | "One Thanksgiving many years ago, I decided to make cookies. Earlier that year I purchased a "duck" cookie cutter and made ducks for the spring. The ducks impressed no one and the cookie cutter was destined to be stuck in the very back of a very cluttered kitchen drawer. Well, that particular Thanksgiving I pulled it out and decided to turn the ducks into turkeys. The kids didn't know any better and thought the turkeys were wonderful. I always used green icing because that's just what I had on hand. One year I substituted blue icing for green and the kids let me know right away that turkeys are supposed to be green. Thus, a tradition was born. It makes me very happy to see toddlers with a cookie in each hand. Shhhh...don't tell them they are ducks in disguise!" - Paula | Say it ain't so!
10: "My favorite Thanksgiving memory is when Granddaddy was working on the heater and it exploded and we all thought the world was coming to an end." - Kyle | "My favorite part of Thanksgiving is being with family, playing BINGO, and eating turkey cookies." -Jesse
11: "Mexican Stack...Wednesday night singing... presents... Alli and Leah as Pilgrim and Indian... boys playing together...BINGO!...dressing... turkey cookies... family...past times with Granddaddy and Buddy...It's all been great!!!" - Lynn
12: "The best part of Thanksgiving is spending time with family: Bingo, great food, talking, laughing, and having a great time. It is also great to watch everyone open gifts that our generous Granny has bought throughout the year. Also, it is fun watching Granny's surprised face when we open the gifts that she has purchased and doesn't remember buying!" - Janet
13: "Thanksgiving takes on a new meaning for us, now that our kids are scattered in different directions. It is great to see them, along with the rest of our family members." - Bryan
14: "I love getting together with family, gift-giving, family football games, playing games at the Community Center like Killer and Chickenfoot. All of these are great and will be remembered." - Jake
15: "It is great having the whole family come together in love, playing and watching football, and chilling with my cousins." - John Marc
16: "Family coming together to eat Mexican Stack on Wednesday, Wednesday night at Oak Grove church of Christ, the fabulous food, football at the Ruritan field, BINGO, the exploding furnace at the Community Center, family being together, these are all favorite memories." - John
17: "I love coming together to eat and be thankful and to do something together." - Ginny
18: "I love Mexican Stack, getting together with my family, and having them all together, and playing BINGO." - Laura
19: Love at First Bite!
21: "Now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." I Cor. 13:13
23: "If you boil it down, Thanksgiving for us is simply love; love for God and love for family." - Sascha
