Following last years' successful tour, Sixties Gold returns with an even stronger line-up of artists that, between them, scored over 50 UK Top 30 hits.
With a career spanning 6 decades, The Searchers now embark upon what will be their Farewell 60s tour. It all began in Liverpool, where they were tipped to be as big as The Beatles, The Searchers spent 128 weeks in the charts, with sales of more than 50 million, including 3 massive UK No.1 hits.
The Merseybeats. Another success story from the Liverpool, Merseybeat boom years. Great memorable hit records including; Sorrow, I Think of You, and Wishin' and Hopin'.
Following on in the wake of Merseybeat, The Fortunes added another dimension to the sound of the classic pop song. With hits including; You've Got Your Troubles and Here It Comes Again, The Fortunes remain one of the UK's premier harmony groups.
This will be ponytailed P.J. Proby's final tour. His controversial trouser splitting shocked the nation and in 1964 was the Melody Maker teen idol award winner. His hit records spent 91 weeks in the charts.
Steve Ellis, the original lead vocalist and founder of Love Affair who had five Top 20 singles, including their No. 1 Everlasting Love.
Finally, Vanity Fare, scored with three top 20 hits in the late sixties, including their catchy Hitchin' A Ride.

The Searchers
Following the success of The Beatles and capitalising on the Mersey Sound came The Searchers. In 1963 they quickly established their own distinctive sound and dedicated following, with a 12 string lead guitar and harmonies which anticipated the sound of The Byrds. 'Sweets For My Sweet', 'Sugar & Spice' and 'Needles & Pins' were their three number one hits, their total world sales exceed over 30 million. The Searchers have continued to play their music throughout the world and are as popular as ever with audiences of all ages.

The Merseybeats
Pop band from the 60s, originally managed by Brian Epstein. The current line-up is Tony Crane (founding member) on lead vocals and lead guitar, Billy Kinsley (founding member) on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Bob Packham (joined 1974) on backing vocals and bass guitar, Dave Goldberg on keyboards and lead guitar and Lou Rosenthal (joined 2000) on drums. Their hits include 'Don't Turn Round', 'Wishin & Hopin', 'Sorrow', 'I Think Of You'.

The Fortunes
The Fortunes are one of the UK's premier harmony groups. A string of hit records including You've Got Your Troubles, Here It Comes Again and Freedom Come Freedom Go, have stood the test of time and still top the play-lists on any radio station. Ask any '60s group who they most admire for their vocal talents and The Fortunes would come out on top. Their last CD sold over 100,000 copies and 'It's The Real Thing' Coca Cola advert is, of course, sung by The Fortunes.
The Fortunes tour dates
Steve Ellis
On 6 February 1968, one of the UK's most endearing number ones - Everlasting Love - hit the top of the charts. The group behind it were called Love Affair fronted by singer Steve Ellis who was acknowledged as having one of the best soul-rock voices in the business. With their sharp Mod looks and a host of national TV appearances behind them, Love Affair found themselves enjoying the kind of exposure and adulation that was being afforded to the likes of the Beatles and Rolling Stones.
Their version of Everlasting Love remains a stone-cold classic, one which not only reached number one in the UK, but went Top 10 in 7 other countries and has amassed over 10 million sales to date. 2018 marked the 50th anniversary of Everlasting Love and Steve Ellis remains the only original member of the record to still be performing it.
Steve continues to record and tour with his solo material, plus occasionally hits the road under the name of Steve Ellis' Love Affair, and has once again found himself being cited as a Mod hero to a new generation of fans
Steve Ellis tour dates
Vanity Fare
Vanity Fare play the hits 'Hitchin' A Ride', 'I Live For The Sun' and 'Early In The Morning'.
Vanity Fare tour dates
PJ Proby
Big-voiced pop legend who had a string of hits during the 1960s. Born James Smith, Proby worked under the stage name Jett Powers before making it big-time as PJ Proby with a rock arrangement of the 1939 Dick Haymes ballad 'Hold Me'. Other chart successes included 'Somewhere' and 'Maria' from 'West Side Story', Lennon & McCartney's 'That Means A Lot' and the Billy Eckstine hit 'I Apologise'. Proby had earlier worked as a session singer for the likes of BB King, Little Richard, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley, whom he was to play in the musical 'Elvis' in the West End in 1977. Although never far from controversy, P J Proby remains a much-loved and popular entertainer.

Her students through the years have benefited greatly from her excellence as a first-rate scholar, teacher and mentor. We are doubly proud that she is an alumna of Brooklyn Law School: she has set the bar high for her colleagues and peers." Professor Kelly's published works have appeared in top law journals and her recent scholarship has focused on international trade, NGO accountability, and the financial crisis.

Facebook, MySpace and Bebo are in the firing line from Cyber Safety Committee deputy chair, Alex Hawke, saying that Australian children younger than 13 use their websites despite the current 13+ age restriction.
Hawke said that unless social networking websites show more responsibility, Parliament may be forced to impose regulations so there are effective measures taken to protect children and deal with online bullying.
He told Computerworld Australia that the options it is considering would include age verification laws which require social networking websites to verify the age of their users.
"There has also been the question of an internet ombudsman as an option for people to have the ability to raise these problems with a central portal," he said.
"We're also encouraging social networking sites to open offices in Australia or at least have an arm which can be dealt with by Australians as a way of preventing regulatory response."
According to Hawke, Facebook is the only company to have appointed a representative in Australia.
He added that Parliamentary committees have heard the "farcical suggestions" from social networking companies that there are no children under 13 years of age on their websites.
"The problem is these social networking companies continue to say `we're offshore and there is nothing you can do about it' when we're dealing with profoundly young children using these sites and these companies really need to engage better with regulators in Australia," he said.
Hawke, who is also a Coalition MP, said that the Coalition's Online Safety Working Group is actively looking at the proposed regulations.
"If we are returned to government, we will put in place policy in this area," he said.
Computerworld Australia has contacted Facebook Australia and is awaiting comment.

It's almost December, and holiday party invites are piling up like DUIs in the Lohan household. Time to attack this stack, because you're going to hit as many of these suckers as possible. Some of them, like your friend's ugly sweater party, will be filled with joyful merriment and hot, new love interests. Others, like your mandatory holiday work party, are obligatory nightmares. Unfortunately this year, these two fall on the same night.
As a genius of seasonal socials, you are not worried. Your friend's party will be the perfect excuse to leave the work function early for "family stuff," and it'll simultaneously limit your time trapped with Coffee-breath McGee and the weird accounts guy with the chinstrap beard.
When you get there, you sling a few vodka sodas to pass the time during the painful white elephant gift exchange. Once everyone is playing with their crappy gift, you recognize your chance to slip out, unnoticed. Your boss is busy guzzling Glenlivet; everyone else is in a state of horror/delight because one of the temps has a nip slip while she screams the lyrics to "All I Want For Christmas Is You" into her beer-bottle microphone. It's time to get out of here and get your game on…and by game, we mean a shirt covered in snowmen made of pom-poms.
You dart out of there like the Ghost of Christmas Past with your white elephant gift in tow: a blow-up doll with a $10 Starbucks gift card taped to her chest. Good one, Jerry. You're still the creepiest guy in the office. As soon as you leave the bar–a.k.a. the turbo club where the HR girl's boyfriend sometimes DJs/plays his iPod–a cab appears and whisks you away to a tacky holiday wonderland.
You arrive at your friends' house and enter a scene that looks like a seasonal craft show hosted by drunk, midwestern moms: jingle-bell earrings, reindeer-antler headbands, menorah tiaras, and necklaces made out of fake Christmas lights– all decorating a sea of joyful, familiar faces tucked into Goodwill turtlenecks and holiday Cosby sweaters. Welcome home.
Spirits are bright. You sip mulled wine and boozy cider. You make a toast in a jolly elf voice every time you open a bottle of celebratory champers…and there are many. One of your amateur friends is sticking to the extra-thick spiked nog. As an experienced veteran of the December Bender, you know that this is a marathon, not a sprint. Say no to nog. His creamy mustache and spastic dance moves are entertaining now, but we all know he'll be puking in the fireplace later.
You wander away from the nog-aholics and spot a gorgeous guest standing alone near some expertly-placed mistletoe. It's a holiday miracle. You lean over and ask your friend for an introduction, and she happily obliges–after all, what are friends for? Thankfully you've concocted the perfect recipe for holiday seduction: comparing and contrasting your hideous attire while recalling many excellent quotes from both Elf and Home Alone. You've obviously sealed the deal. Success. Mazel Tov. Hallelujah.
The party winds down, and you hail a cab with your ugly sweater lover. You are trapped in a snow globe of emotion: Pride that you expertly navigated both soirees. Gratitude that your friend helped you meet someone great. And most of all, relief that you didn't get so drunk on hard cider that you ripped the garland off the doorframe, wrapped it around yourself, seized the Christmas tree and started dancing with it–claiming you were its "evergreen lover"–and then passed out in the driveway where you traumatized a group of young carolers. No need to repeat December '07.No matter how many parties you crash, the holidays can be awfully chilly without a special someone to keep you warm. Don't die of lonely-person frostbite: play Hinge and give yourself the beautiful gift of friend-of-friend romance. In the spirit of meeting that perfect holiday companion–and because we just love parties–Hinge would like to cordially invite you to our own fabulous holiday bash!
Join us for the first annual Glover Park Crush Party at Town Hall on Thursday, December 6th. RSVP and play Hinge over the next few days, and we'll secretly invite anyone you save. You'll mingle while sipping free bubbly from 7-9, and once you've had enough to grow some jingle balls, throw some of our other holiday drink specials on your crush's tab: $3 beer, $4 wine and $5 cocktails all night long.
Anyway, let's rage… it's gonna be magical.

What's New in ReportLab 3.1
In the past year we have redeveloped our package to work on Python 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4. We publicly released the open source code as version 3.0 on 14 February 2014, and have been quietly testing the commercial package which sits on top of it. Release 3.1.x covers both the Open Source and Commercial packages.
Changes to commercial package since 2.x series
Our main focus is to make our commercial package extremely easy to try out. We hope that many open source users will give it a go, and see how easy it is to develop rich document workflows quickly using Report Markup Language.
- Everything runs under Python 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4.
- Follows modern Python standards, including one-line installation using pip or easy_install. Please see the installation instructions.
- a functioning rml2pdf command to let you try converting files immediately.
- A private repository integrated with the web site - use your web site login to download packages.
- A freely available repository of example files and solutions.
We believe we have preserved compatibility at the application level - all reasonable RML files should convert as before and existing clients should be safe to upgrade.
Changes to open source code since 3.0
If you are running ReportLab 3.0.x, the changes are minor. If you are running reportlab 2.x, please see the previous release notice
- support for emoji - characters outside the Unicode basic multilingual plane
- improved pip-based installers will pull in all the needed dependencies. Pillow 2.4 appears to deal with all our issues.
Note on version numbers
We follow Python's scheme with 3-point release numbers signifying major-minor-patch. Generally, new features will result in an announced minor release such as "3.1" or "3.2". In the last two months our focus has been on how well the packages install, so we went through a number of releases (3.1.1 up to 3.1.8) quietly with feedback from external clients. We will notify all registered users on the web site of significant releases.

There are plenty of projects you can take on that will help improve the overall look and feel of your home prior to the upcoming holidays. Whether you are hosting a Christmas party or having guests over for several days during Thanksgiving, you will want your home to look its best before you guests arrive. Here are a few projects that you will want to consider taking on before the busy holiday season kicks off.
Apply a Fresh Coat of Exterior Paint
Fall offers plenty of days that are warm enough to work with exterior paint, and a touch-up can help prolong the life of your siding and trim. A fresh coat of paint or sealer on any surface that potentially will be covered with snow, such as wood floors or stairs, also is a wise idea. Sooner is better to contact a local painter, as many paints aren't recommended for application on days when the temperature dips below 45-50 degrees F.
Finish Up Your Incomplete Basement
Whether your region brings ice and snow or clouds and rain during winter, chances are your outdoor living space will spend a good portion of the season out of commission. If your time indoors leaves you feeling a little crowded, look to your basement for room to roam. Finishing a basement is a great way to extend your living space and also gives a higher return on investment than many other home projects. Whether you're planning on selling your home come springtime or you just need more space to live, consider finishing your basement.
Fix All Major Home Appliances
From turkey dinners to Christmas cookies, the holiday season is a busy time for most kitchens. Clothes washers and dryers often pull an extra shift or two during the holidays as well. If your appliances aren't working — or aren't working as well as they should — call an appliance-repair professional before the holidays arrive. A trained professional can diagnose and repair a problem in a major appliance for far less than the cost of replacement.
Make Sure Your Lawn Looks Its Best
To ensure your lawn's health and beauty come spring, complete several important yardwork projects in the fall. Raking leaves and aerating will prevent your lawn and garden beds from suffocating, while fertilizing and winterizing grass, trees, and shrubs will allow your greenery to enter its winter slumber comfortably and properly nourished. Professional lawn-care services make quick work of these projects, freeing up your time for family, friends, and football.
Make a Plan for Holiday Lights
Holiday lights begin to appear on homes across America every year almost immediately following (and sometimes even before) Thanksgiving. If you plan to decorate your home yourself, develop a plan and start looking for deals on lights and other outdoor holiday paraphernalia early. If you're planning to hire assistance, make sure you contact a professional for quotes as soon as possible. Either way, allow time to make arrangements and install lights as early as you can to maximize the number of days you'll have to enjoy them.
Keep Your Home Warm by Sealing Gaps and Adding Insulation
Nothing makes a home more uncomfortable during the winter than a nagging, chilly draft. Consider a home energy audit that includes a review of your home's caulking and weather stripping. An energy auditor also will likely look inside your attic. If the insulation is at or below the level of the joists, you might be able to keep your home warmer by adding more insulation. A depth of 10-14 inches is generally considered optimal, and you can supplement with a variety of types of insulation to achieve that depth.
Power Wash the Side of your House
Having your home's exterior and windows power washed won't just make your home look sharp, it also will prevent the growth of mold and mildew that feed on grime. If you're not comfortable deciding whether your home's exterior can handle the pressure exerted by the various pressure-washing nozzles available, hire a professional to do the work.
Repair Your Fireplace
Proper inspection of a fireplace is vital to ensuring its safe operation — even if it is rarely used. An experienced chimney sweep will check wood fireplaces for flammable buildup (known as creosote) and chimney blockages such as bird nests. A chimney or fireplace professional also should check for these red flags: improperly functioning dampers, damaged brickwork and masonry, and missing or damaged flue caps (the screen covering the top of the chimney).
Install a Home Security System
If you're looking for peace of mind this holiday season, consider enlisting the help of a home security company. A home security system will help protect against intruders, and many systems can monitor for signs of fire. Security companies will often install basic systems free of charge, provided you sign a monitoring contract.

Engineering is an actively growing topic and so modules listed symbolize these obtainable to current college students. As the topic of Engineering and our school continuously evolve, the range of modules available and the content material of particular person modules may change in future years.

GNP elevated by 5.7 p.c yearly, agricultural manufacturing by four.5 percent and export earnings by 7 percent, compared with respective projections of 6.5, 5 and 9.5 p.c. Some other important targets have been topic to more extreme shortfalls. An annual growth price of solely 6.8 p.c in worth added in the manufacturing sector was realized, compared with 10 p.c; prices elevated by over 20 p.c through the interval.
Helga Haberfellner, who studied with McLuhan, remembers that often after making an outrageous statement he would say to his class ―Are you going to let me get away with that?‖ McLuhan needed to impress his college students or his audience to suppose threw things for themselves. Remember as a result of McLuhan believed that each new medium numbed its customers and made them unaware of its results he felt the necessity to exaggerate to make users conscious of the consequences of that new medium.
I hope that oldsters go visit Design Faculties to grasp what these colleges offer in terms of pupil profession and alternatives. Kanban playing cards needn't be playing cards", usually companies will utilize any visual marker that is sensible and is easily movable and acknowledged, utilizing flags and golf balls for instance. However most software program functions do not foster learning and engagement. In reality, they have the alternative impact. That's as a result of taking the steps essential to advertise the event and upkeep of experience nearly all the time entails a sacrifice of speed and productivity. Studying requires inefficiency.

Stork Craft Custom Hoop Glider and Ottoman
Nursery glider under $200? Cool, let's go….
Baby Nursery Gliders is a nursery glider review site. You can find out all you need to know about nursery glider recliners or nursery rocking chairs.
Okay, we review lots of great stuff that looks nothing like a nursery glider. We searched night and day (well, an hour or two) for the best baby products for you and we had so much fun testing them all out.
If you are looking for a different price range, here you go….
Choose from a wide range of styles & prices
What we liked about the The Stork Craft Hoop Glider and Ottoman
The Stork Craft is one of the top selling, low priced baby nursery gliders available. At first look, it is a nice piece of nursery furniture for the price. It is very attractive and gave an instant lift to the nursery.
Sally Anne says …
I really liked the chevron cushion for the stylish and modern look. It was very easy to clean and was comfortable for long periods of sitting.
This isn't an expensive nursery glider but it is one of the best nursery gliders on the market for this price range. The gliding action was smooth and the wood quality seemed really good for such a low priced piece of nursery furniture.
It is made from solid wood and I wouldn't doubt that to be honest. My nephew is a big lad and he sat in it quite comfortably and without it looking like it was going to collapse under the extra weight (he weighs 200lbs or more!)
The glider was easy to put together, very quick to assemble. I loved the storage pockets (wouldn't buy a nursery glider without) and the range of funky colors available are really nice and would suit most nurseries decor.
The glide was smooth and quiet and very comfortable. as the seat is generous and well padded. The arm cushions were ample and easy to clean. I would be happy to use it as a piece of furniture in any room as well as the nursery. I think it is incredible value for the price.
These are the wood Colors available:-
Nursery glider color is pure choice, but the wood is solidly made, sturdy and feels good quality. It was super easy to clean and, of course, you can make a wood color choice based on the color of your nursery. We had the Espresso and we loved the color but I would happily have any one of the other colors in the nursery.
Five Styles available with funky chevrons
- Pink
- Turquoise {described by reviewers as more of an aqua color
- Citron Green
- Navy
- Gray
We love the colors, they are a breath of fresh air in a market of nursery gliders that are mostly boring browns and grays.
The chevron style has a funky, bright look that stands out, whilst still matching, the color of your nursery. We personally think that the Stork Craft Custom Hoop Glider is a crazy low price for the quality.
Pink is more expensive, but most colors are the same as the standard model. You are getting a fantastic nursery glider for a low, low price and let's not forget that you get the ottoman with the chair!
We try not to be biased here at Baby Nursery Gliders but if you are on a strict budget for a nursery glider, then this may well be the best piece of nursery furniture you can buy.

We liked it. It may become your new favorite place to relax and spend time with your baby.
This is a great rocking chair for nursery for anyone looking for an awesome baby rocker with a few added design and comfort perks.
What we loved about it:-
- The complementing two-tone welting and the button-tufting on the backrest giving the Baby Relax Tinsley Nursery Rocker a classy look.
- The soft Microfiber fabric is so easy to care for.
- Three fabric color options, making it easy to match with your nursery decor.
- The sturdy construction and espresso finished solid wood feet will last you for years to come
The colors are a little limited with the usual Gray, light brown and a beige. But, whilst not funky, may appeal to you if you want a nursery glider to blend with any color of room in your house.
The difference between the two 'brown' colors is quite subtle. so will come down to personal preference. There are small price variances between the colors featured in this review, with light brown being the lowest cost and beige being the more expensive.
Not everyone likes a rocker chair, many parents seem to prefer the motion of a glider. But, much the same as a nursery glider, once baby is grown up, this comfortable rocker can easily be slipped into your main living room. Imagine sitting back, sipping a cool glass of wine and enjoying a good film whilst no longer having to jump up to feed or check baby every five minutes.
We hope that our review has helped in your search for a nursery glider under $200.00.
You can check it out and read the hundreds of positive reviews on Amazon, always our preferred supplier for reliability and service.

Since 1990, I have been working as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. There are two parts of my professional life: I have a part time private practice in Burbank, California, and in addition, I work for the Counseling and Psychotherapy Centers, Inc., where the focus of my work is a forensic population, as well as supervising other clinicians. I believe that people should enjoy what they do for a living, and in my case, I love the work I do. I have been with Counseling and Psychotherapy Centers since 2005, and very much enjoy the work I do.
There are three parts of my non-professional life that I also love, as you can tell from this website: I enjoy training my dogs to herd livestock, and sometimes compete with them in AKC (American Kennel Club) herding competitions. Since 1996, I have been a judge for the AKC, judging herding competitions.
I love photography, and especially enjoy taking pictures of wildlife. You'll find some wildlife photos I have taken on this site as well.
I also am very involved in tracing my family genealogy, and you will find a page with my family research and photos as well.

So what are the 3 reasons it is entertaining to see proud and incompetent atheist and agnostic fools epically fail?
1. God and his people can and do laugh at stubborn fools!
First, seeing proud, but cowardly and incompetent atheist and agnostic fools fail is very entertaining. Although God would prefer that people repent, God does enjoy laughing at proud and stubborn people and the Scripture declares: "He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision." (Psalm 2:4). Also, Elijah taunted the prophets of Baal. No doubt this was not a laughing matter for these false prophets and a source of humiliation, but Elijah was certainly amused as he taunted them.
If only the atheists at RationalWiki could rebut Dr. Don Batten's article on the origin of life (see: Origin of life) then creationist could take them seriously. An article which cites the prominent evolutionists PZ Myers and Nick Matzke declaring that evolution is part of the evolutionary paradigm. The atheists/evolutionists know that the origin of life is not only a vexing problem and unsolvable problem for evolutionists, but it also clearly shows that life was designed by a designer. In short, evolutionism fails from the gitgo.
According to the fools at RationalWiki the first question of the Question Evolution! Campaign
dealing with the origin of life is a non-starter (see: 15 Questions for evolutionists ). The RationalWiki website still stubbornly declares: "This first question is actually entirely irrelevant - Evolution does not claim to explain the origin of life, nor has it ever attempted to do so." Then why does a high priest of evolutionism, the atheist PZ Myers, declare that the origin of life is part of the evolutionary paradigm?
Also, according to the pro-evolution website Wikipedia: "Nicholas J. Matzke is the former Public Information Project Director at the National Center for Science Education (NCSE) and served an instrumental role in NCSE's preparation for the 2005 Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial." So we have another high priest of evolution declaring that the origin of life is part of the evolutionary paradigm.
Given the total failure of evolutionists when it comes to the origin of life, RationalWikians are still desperately and unsuccessfully trying to decouple the origin of life from evolution, a tenet of their errant and foolish religion of atheism. But they cannot do it credibly given the statements of PZ Myers and Nick Matze. In addition, Richard Dawkins attempts to defend a naturalistic origin of life in his recent book The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution. A book which focuses on attempting to defend evolutionism!
RationalWikians remind me of the Japanese soldiers on remote islands in WWII who keep on fighting even though Japan lost the war. Their resistance to admitting their error and facing reality is not based on consistency and a careful deliberation of facts, but on their unadulterated foolish dispositions. And what is even more pathetic is that other evolutionists committed the same error when criticizing the 15 questions for evolutionists. Darwinists don't even know their own religion according to their high priests of evolution! And even if they are informed of their error, they keep spouting the same nonsense regardless. This is truly sad. What some people will do in order to continue their rebellion towards God - a God they know exists.
1. Will the editors of RationalWikii admit their error?
2. Why aren't followers of the evolution religion aware of major proclamations of their own high priests?
3. Will the editors of RationalWiki pick up the gauntlet thrown down to them and finally try to rebut this origin of life article?
RationalWikians are not intellectually fulfilled atheists. They cannot scale the wall of the origin of life
Dr. Jonathon Sarfati wrote:
A huge barrier for those desiring to be 'intellectually fulfilled atheists" is finding a naturalistic origin of the first living organisms. Despite some evasion by major evolutionary propagandists, this is a part of the 'General Theory of Evolution', defined by the evolutionist Kerkut as 'the theory that all the living forms in the world have arisen from a single source which itself came from an inorganic form."2. Atheists often cannot debate effectively and they cannot keep their sons and daughters in atheist fold
Second, I not only pointed out that RationalWikians are afraid of tackle Don Batten's origin of life, but I also showed that atheists, agnostics and evolutionists, often shrink back from debate and are rightly disparaged and mocked for it.
Furthermore, I demonstrated that only 30% of Americans raised by atheist parents retain their atheism which is the lowest of retention rates of all worldviews/religions studied in a Georgetown University study. Even "magic underwear" expounding Mormons manage to keep more people in their fold! Unlike Christianity whose apostles were willing to die for what they saw and heard, atheism never has and never will have a shred of proof and evidence that it is true. Please see: 4 reasons why atheism and agnosticism are weak, errant, secular religions
Also, Professor Paul Vitz showed that most of the prominent atheists he studied using historical records had bad/non-existent relationships with their fathers (see: Psychology of atheism). It certainly would not surprise me if many militant atheist fathers are arrogant, socially challenged individuals who have poor relationships with their sons.
3. How bleak is the future of atheism and agnosticism and how solid are the scholarly predictions about populations based on demographic data?
CNS News:
Atheism is in decline worldwide, with the number of atheists falling from 4.5% of the world's population in 1970 to 2.0% in 2010 and projected to drop to 1.8% by 2020, according to a new report by the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Mass.Read more at CNS News.
Next, citng the works of academics cited in academic journals relative to demographic projections, I showed the future of global atheism/agnosticm is very bleak. See: A number of academic journals now indicate that global atheism/agnosticism will keep shrinking in influence/adherents
But how bleak is it for the hopes of militant atheists?
Consider this excerpt from the work of scholars Eric Kaufman (who is an agnostic), Vegard Skirbekk and Anne Goujon cited from 'American political affiliation, 2003–43: A cohort component projection:
Unlike forecasts of, for example, long-term economic growth or energy use, demographic projections tend to have comparatively low error margins, even for projections made for half; a century ahead (National Research Council 2000; Keilman 2001). Traits that systematically vary with age or cohort can thus be projected with a fair degree of accuracy (e.g.,K.C. et al. 2010)...Starting with the current age structures of the populations and incorporating alternative scenarios for migration and differential fertility allowed us to model and to do so more accurately than previously the social consequences of population change.
Bottom line: The studies/articles I cited about the coming demographic implosion of the global atheist/agnostic populations and the rise of global religious conservatism, not only reflect long standing trends, but is based on demographic studies which have a history of a fair degree of accuracy in their predictions.
While selfish atheists/agnostics continue to squabble and continue to have sub-replacement levels of children, loving Bible believing couples will continue to be fruitful and multiply!
Furthermore, consider these resources as well:
Social unrest in Europe altering its religious landscape
The Eurozone crisis is not over. European socialism, atheism and Darwinism are in for a tough slog
Why a literal reading of Genesis is surging in the world
Add 20 years of potential severe economic hardship to the many nails which are being pounded into the coffins of atheism and Darwinism.
No tears for an imploding atheism
When you consider the history of atheism in terms of its lies, twisted morality, and murderous rampages, Christians are not going to shed a single tear for the demise of influence of atheists in the world. Atheists have a legacy of being the biggest mass murders in history and have a legacy of suppressing intellectual freedom. See: Atheism and mass murder and Intolerant atheists

5. Does the food you cook during the winter holidays taste good with the Ridge wine you drink during the winter holidays?
If you answered YES to the above, then have we got a contest for you!
I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am about this contest! If you've ever read this blog before, you'll know I'm deeply interested in culinary companionability as regards wine production, and am an ardent fan of the art and artistry of food-and-wine pairing (for a sampling of thoughts, perspective, images, and more on this topic, please click here), so this is something of a gift from the gods for me, the opportunity to experience what all of YOU are up to at YOUR tables!
From the feathered quill and inkwell of our marketing gurus, the specs:
We want to hear from you! We are in search of our Featured Holiday Pairing Recipe and figured what better place to look than to those of you who have been regularly preparing delicious meals that pair beautifully with our wines.

As of this week all accounts will get provisioned with their own 'outlyer' docker container!
Traditionally we have only provided internal monitoring. You can install an agent or configure third party tools to send data into our Graphite port. Metrics collection has always been performed by servers that customers run. Our SaaS platform is really just an open standards compliant backend to the same collection you would typically setup if you had Nagios or Graphite on-premise. We provide a very slick UI that helps non-ops people setup collection, dashboards and alerts, as well as take care of all of the scaling issues. Problems that present themselves as SaaS companies start to scale up.
The new docker containers are the first time where we perform the collection on our servers. I guess this now also makes Outlyer the first monitoring focussed PaaS :D
While working with our current customers we have often suggested they setup a central polling server running a Outlyer agent that collects metrics from remote systems where installing an agent isn't possible. When those metrics come from servers behind the firewall like self hosted Jenkins or Jira this will still be the case. However, there are a whole bunch of scenarios where having an external agent makes a lot of sense.
Uses for the Outlyer container
The docker container does two things:
You can use it to run Nagios check scripts on Outlyer infrastructure
It runs a StatsD server so you can connect StatsD clients directly to it
Nagios Scripts
We are the only monitoring tool that lets you write custom plugins in the browser, test and then deploy them directly to agents. So providing a safe, containerised docker environment to test out those features instantly was one of our goals. We also wanted to provide a quick way for people to check their internet facing endpoints and scrape their 3rd party services (e.g. Google Analytics, Splunk, New Relic or even Twitter). Stuff like Pingdom is cool for checking latency from around the world but they don't give you the ability to run proper check scripts.
Here's an example of a quick twitter script I created running in a new Outlyer docker container.
For the first iteration of the docker container we're focusing support on our 'built-in python' shell. This means you can write scripts in any language as long as that language is Python :) We will add more languages to the container in future releases.
What does the 'built-in python' shell give you? Quite a lot actually. We bundle an embedded Python 2.7 runtime and lots of libraries for you to use to create your own plugins. So you get the full power of the Python standard library, as well as libraries that let you scrape api's (requests, beautiful soup, xmltodict) or even test websites with robobrowser. There's quite a lot in there and we're happy to add more. To see exactly what is available we list all of the libraries here:
We've already written quite a few plugins that you can try:
You could set all of this up before the docker container by using a local agent on your own server but now you can get from signup to sending in data from all over the place in a few minutes.
Signup, have a play around and if you end up creating an awesome script and dashboard please feel free to submit a pull request back to our Github plugin and dashboards repo so other people can try them.
Here's a quick dashboard I did for our Twitter the other day.
We need a bit more social activity to make the graphs look cooler. The fact that we have twitter data in the app now sitting alongside dev and ops metrics, as well as data from a range of other places means you can create dashboards and alerts that are useful for a wide variety of teams. You might even want everything together on one summary dashboard.
If you are interested in what sort of dashboards you should be creating we did a blog that touches on that subject here:
I'm also talking at Operability.IO in September about this. Hopefully with a few more examples of how SaaS companies are using data to improve their businesses.
Hosted StatsD
Developers love StatsD metrics. They are probably the single greatest tool a developer could ever use for monitoring their app. Extremely quick to setup and immensely powerful. You can get production to emit non blocking UDP packets containing metrics about any piece of live data you wish. From timing functions and classes to tracking shopping basket contents, or even how many times a feature was used.
Until now customers were expected to setup their own StatsD servers. This is still a supported option, however, you can now get from signup to accepting StatsD metrics in minutes without any additional servers setup. For developers with a strict time budget hopefully this will help out.
Some details on how you get up and running with that are here:
I've already had a bit of fun profiling our Jenkins JVM. With the addition of a javaagent option to the Jenkins startup command in the init script and a service restart I now get all of the memory and cpu profiling directly into my docker statsd port.
Not bad for less than 1 minute of time invested to setup.
Request for feedback
The docker container is a new feature and as such we're always very interested in feedback. Is it a crazy idea? Could it be made even better? Ping us an email with any suggestions you might have.

About the Authors
Lisa Mangum has worked with books ever since elementary school, when she volunteered at the school library during recess. She attended the University of Utah, graduating with honors with a degree in English. She has worked in the publishing industry since 1997. In 2014 she was named the Editorial Manager for Shadow Mountain.
Besides books, Lisa loves movies, spending time with her family, trips to Disneyland, and vanilla ice cream topped with fresh raspberries. She lives in Taylorsville, Utah, with her husband, Tracy. She is the author of four award-winning YA novels (the Hourglass Door trilogy and After Hello) and the editor of One Horn to Rule Them All: A Purple Unicorn Anthology.
Janette Rallison writes books because writing is much more fun than cleaning bathrooms. Her avoidance of housework has led her to writing 23 novels that have sold over 1,000,000 copies. Her novels have been on many reading and state lists. Most of her books are romantic comedies or action because hey, there is enough angst in real life, but there's a drastic shortage of humor, romance and hot guys who fight dragons. She lives in Chandler, Arizona with her husband, five kids, and enough cats to classify her as eccentric.

Last weekend, we went back to Blue Hill for a spring lunch. We left the kid at home with the nanny and felt guilty the entire time, especially after seeing all the families touring the farm. Next time we will come for the lambs and not the food.
We had a stellar meal, and even got to eat a few courses in the kitchen. My favorites were the mussels, barely poached to creaminess and the coppa served atop the first maple tap of the season.
As for the more substantial dishes, I loved the smoked scallop and fried pig ear tacos with rutabega tortillas and the venison three ways.
As you've read, I've been trying to make Enzo food but with little luck. I've finally realized that he still can't really deal with textures, and that I need to puree and then strain his food before feeding it to him.
It's now spring, but the offerings at our farmers market are still root veggies and cellar fruits. So I've had to supplement with frozen fruits and vegetables. Trader Joe's has an okay selection, and I bought some blueberries and spinach. I've been trying to go once a week to stock up on nanny snacks and other groceries since it is close to our butcher.
Here's a quart container with frozen blueberries (about a cup), 5 apples that I skinned, cored, cubed, and made into apple sauce from cameo & pink lady market apples, and frozen spinach (about half a cup). I added Bob's Red Mill 10-grain cereal and split it between two containers, then used the immersion blender to puree the shit out of it.
THEN I strained it so any errant pieces of spinach stalk, apple skin, and chunky cereal bits didn't make it into the emperor's food.
And guess what – Mikey likes it!
Score 1 for mommy. Put it in the freezer, I'm done.
I also bought some purple and yellow carrots from the market that I skinned, quartered, and steamed. He'll have those tomorrow. I try to do the finger food thing at least once a week.
I didn't get to pickle the green tomatoes I bought. It's a bit early for any kind of tomato, but I got excited. They're good on BLTs and also with buratta.
I hate WordPress's auto image editing. But I've been super lazy about uploading to Flickr.

As we wrap up 2013, we hope you are inspired by the abundance of advice offered up today from our 42 FACES of Atlanta and FACES of the South 2013 women. We certainly are.
Special thanks to Amy Lesesne and Catrina Maxwell for the gorgeous photography each week of our FACES of Atlanta.
FACES of Atlanta
"This too shall pass…I say it often."- Stephanie Green-Bass
"Don't assume…"- Cheryl Crawford
"It's a long road, don't give up. Celebrate the small things."- Caroline Van Sickle
"My favorite piece of advice is from a friend and artist Todd Murphy. He said, 'Stay true to your vision, you've got it. Keep making it happen.'"- Kristen Hard
"Enjoy the journey. Failure is not final, it's feedback. Confidence is your best accessory." – Moya Minns
"Do what you love and the rest will follow." – Gregg Irby
"The greatest piece of advice I have received is from my grandmother. When I was younger she would always tell me before departing, 'Don't follow the crowd.' I have applied that simple statement at every point. Whether it is creatively or socially. She made it okay and reminded me to go left when everyone else is going right."- Kel Cadet-Lyons
"My spunky grandmother always gave the best advice, two of my favorites: 'Life is not a dress rehearsal,' and 'Do what you love and the money will come.'"- India Lynn Watso
"To get something you have never had, you'll have to do something you've never done before."- Lauren Carey
"'Gratitude is the attitude that gives you altitude.' I saw it on a sign many years ago and have said it ever since. I enjoy torturing my teenage son and his friends by repeating this as often as I please. The runner up? 'Sleep on it.' Think of how many situations (and relationships!) have been salvaged by these three words!"- Cary Calhoun
"Sleep on it. A good night's sleep leaves you with a clear head for those tough decisions." Meg Harrington
"Surround yourself with friends who bring out the best in you."- Ann Huff
"Grace is sufficient. It's from the Bible, and it keeps my perspective in check."- Penny Treese
"Bloom where you are planted"- Ann Davis
"'Grow where you are planted.' To me it means no matter where you are in life, make the most of it. Blossom in a field of weeds if you have to. Be the best you can be no matter what your situation is, you have to shine no matter what your environment."- Trayce Hutchins
"Best piece of advice, from my Dad. 'Do the right thing, and it will all work out.' This covers all the bases, and I hear his voice in my head every day!"- Emily Followill
"From my maternal grandfather, Henry William Hollingsworth, 'It's the poor dog that doesn't wag his own tail.' Because of this gem, I've never been short on confidence and I have long since realized that carrying myself a certain way could garner great opportunities." – Shameeka Ayers
"One of the most important things to do before you start your business is to define what you view as success. To me, success is putting yourself out there regardless of the outcome. So no matter where Sinless takes us in the end, I already feel like we have been successful." – Cat Hawkins
"Leonard Lauder of Estée Lauder was one of the smartest and most charismatic men I've ever met. He always had sage advice. My favorite was: 'Catch someone doing something right and thank them for it—even if they are just doing their job.' Another favorite is: 'The three most important things to remember about opening a store (or a counter) is location, location, location.'"- Linda Silber
"HAIR changed everything about musical theatre, and the 60′s are still romanticized and attractive to people. Times are tough now, and that time is looked back on as a time when young people rejected the status quo and sought peace and love and a different way of living. I can relate to her [character's] frustration with society and the absurdity of what is thought to be important by our culture (money, possessions, power) versus what truly is important."- Kylie Brown
"Live each day to the fullest and please remember to treat others the way you wanted to be treated. No truer words have ever been spoken, and I remind myself of them daily." – Michelle Larrabee
"In 1999 my husband was between jobs and I was getting my MBA, so we took four months off to backpack around the world. It was an incredible experience that completely changed my outlook on life. Seeing so many other countries around the world made me realize just how fortunate we are here in America. I am so grateful and appreciative for all that America offers to its citizens." – Cinda Boomershine
"Don't take things personally. I finally read The Four Agreements by Miguel Angel Ruiz last year and it has become not only an all-time favorite book, but somewhat of a life guide as well. Whether in my business or personal life, I try to remember that nothing is being done to me personally."- Dayka Robinson
"Think on your feet and take initiative, even when you're not asked to. You'll never make a name for yourself waiting to be told what to do!"- Kristin Cowart
"TLC from friends — whether it's dinner with my 'Bless Your Heart' mothers group to a phone chat with my roommates from college, I am re-energized from those who are in my corner. An occasional massage and some retail therapy also provide good fixes."- Laura Stanley
"Always trust your instincts."- Sarah Moats
"Gandhi said: 'You must be the change you want to see in the world.' This doesn't have to be anything drastic like changing your career, but taking steps to make your own community a better place within your comfort zone."- Jen Soong
"I live by two pieces of advice. The first is to be a friend-raiser. People do business with people they enjoy, and I love meeting new people and working with team of smart enthusiastic people. Second, if you do what you've always done, then you'll get what you've always gotten."- Dale DeSena
"Success comes in cans, not can't's!"- McCall Wilder
"Together, we can help Georgians thrive, to grow up healthy, to weather tough times with the support of their neighbors. I've seen first hand how taking a simple step for caring for someone in crisis, by volunteering or a food drive, gives the person helping more hope, more trust, a sense of purpose. By helping, we are all helped. In this time of political turmoil, zero-sum gamesmanship, I think we all have an opportunity to turn things around by taking action, by starting small."- Sarah Fonder-Kristy
"Thomas Edison said, 'The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.' My mom lives and works that way and instilled that in me."- Mimi Bremer
FACES of South
"Stand up for what you believe. Follow your gut, which most of the time is your heart talking. This has been my hardest lesson. I have given this advice and not always followed it myself. The truth is, there is no other way." – Faith Hill
"Love what you do. Never compromise your dreams or desires for the sake of money." – Carla Hall
"My friend and fellow jewelry designer Nicholas Varney told me: 'Buy what you think is beautiful. If you do that, you will always end up with a beautiful final piece.' It is true. I take that with me any time I am looking for materials to work with." – Kimberly McDonald
"My father told me, 'Remember who you are and who you represent.'" – Michelle Weaver
"If there's anything I've learned, it's that life passes by in phases, and phases end. So if you're in a phase of life that is just totally amazing, then relish every second. On the flip-side, if you're at a low point or in a stressful place, keep the faith because that phase will end and a new one will begin. You just have to hang on until then. I've given that advice to a lot of deployed troops or friends going through work or marriage troubles…or newborns, ha ha!" – Angie Johnson
"Strive for the three 'Be's': Be naïve, be real, be hungry. Be naïve enough to believe in your dreams, but also be aware of the obstacles. Know the odds, but believe you can beat them. Be real enough to connect with consumers and cross that difficult divide from brand loyalty to brand love. Be hungry enough to realize that when ideas stand still, they get old and are eventually replaced by better ideas." – Laurie Ann Goldman
"I was never allowed to say the word can't or quit any sports when I was a little girl. My parents taught me that I could do anything that I set my mind to and that to be successful, you had to keep going even when the going gets tough." – Heidi Elnora
"To live wholeheartedly with compassion, courage and connection. This is my daily mantra as a mother, sister, daughter, wife, friend, business owner and mentor." – Elaine Turner
"During those heavy workload, sleep deprived years of the early 1990s, my mother-in-law, Mary Chapman, suggested I pray this simple prayer every day: 'Lord, lead me today to those I need and to those who need me and let something I do have eternal significance. Amen.' That simple prayer continually reboots my anticipation and openness about what a day might hold." – Amy Grant
"Life is finite. Every single day I wish I could have just one more conversation, or cup of coffee, or even just one more laugh with my dad. But missing him helps me to love the people in my life with that much more abandon. And so it is the best lesson of all." – Damaris Phillips
"It really goes back to my parents instilling in me the belief that one can do whatever they want to if they don't give up. So, I guess, my mantra is all about guts and being willing to do things a little differently. The letter that hangs in my office from a reader in 2009 that says, 'If you close this magazine, I will hunt you down and shoot you!' was also a pretty good motivator to overcome the odds." – Rebecca Darwin
"When something would come up that was something I did not feel comfortable deciding on, I have always sought advice from the people that had the expertise and knowledge that I did not have. I do know this: you must believe in yourself and in your product or service. Grow as fast as you can, but as slowly as you have to to maintain your quality. All things are possible with God's help. I believe I was lucky to bring a product to the marketplace at just the right time—a fully-baked frozen yeast roll—when there was nothing else like it at the time. We filled a niche in the grocery stores, and that made it much easier to sell." – Patricia Barnes
What a group of amazing women!

André Anjos aka RAC is no stranger to warm weather anthems with numerous remixes and originals dotting my playlists from years past. RAC essentially had the summer of 2014 on lock with his replay-ready and seasonally appropriate single "Cheap Sunglasses".
By the sounds of things, André might have similar success with new single "Back Of The Car". Anjos described the song's theme as "about freedom, about growing up, about returning to my roots" and the soundscape matches that sentiment. The handclap-ready, synth and guitar-fueled track pulses with sunny momentum and benefits from the appearance of singer Nate Hendricks.
Stream RAC's "Back of the Car" below and catch RAC at the upcoming North Coast Music Festival in Chicago on September 4-6th.

Perhaps our strongest title yet.
Holy mother of things that have mothers, has it ever snowed. We probably got about 60 cm (maybe more) in the past couple of days. It snowed for two days straight as well. Happily a neighbour was nice enough to snowblow our driveway.
Isabelle went to a pretty cool thing last night, she talked about that.
She's also doing lithography with seems exceedingly complicated.
We talked some about 'whataboutism' which is a thing (click the link).

R.F. Dufy
Treasurer and Clerk
I've been a South Dennis Resident sense the early 80s. I'm currently employed by a small liquor chain in South Dennis. I am a member of the Dennis Board of Health. In my recent past I delivered Department of Housing Community Development Block Grants to the Cape and Martha's Vineyard. Through these grants we rehabbed many homes belonging to low to moderate income homeowners. We also purchased a vacant church and rectory converting them into four affordable one bedroom apartments and a 3 bedroom home. I have become involved with F.O.R.W.A.R.D for many reasons. The most important of which is to see that young adults with developmental disabilities have a safe and comfortable place to live and receive the services that they need.
