Friends or Lovers
|by Nancy Ness
Throughout our lives we're ever dreaming of
The day we'll find that perfect sweet caress.
How shall we know when friendship's really love?
A quest for raptured hearts the conduit of
Life's bask in yearning throngs of WistfullNess.
Forever seems our lifelong dreams are of
The hope we may imbue our hearts thereof
With exultation, but we shan't unless
We recognize when friendship's turned to love.
Whence all emotions fit like hand in glove
It may just be - 'Tis serendipitous.
Those things in life we're ever dreaming of
As rhapsody's sung on the wing of dove
And, one to each, our promise we profess
How do we know this friendship's really love?
Whence we have placed our faith in Hands above
Each ray of sun bestows SagaciousNess
No longer things we're only dreaming of
We'll surely know when friendship's one with love.

The frigid waters of Alaska's rivers are probably not the first place you'd think to find a river dolphin, but 25 million years ago dolphins would have called Alaska home. At least, that's according to a new analysis of an ancient dolphin skull, originally found in Alaska, that had been hiding in a collection at the Smithsonian Museum for over half a century, reports the BBC.
It's a surprising find, one that becomes even more mysterious when considering that the Alaskan dolphin's closest living relative has been identified as the elusive and endangered South Asian river dolphin, a majestic creature found in the Ganges, Brahmaputra and Indus rivers.
Obviously there aren't any rivers that connect Alaska with South Asia, so the fossil find creates something of an evolutionary jigsaw puzzle. At the very least, it shows that river dolphins may have been more geographically widespread during early cetacean evolution than originally thought. The find also suggests that the South Asian river dolphins alive today represent the last living members of an ancient group.
The species has been named Arktocara yakataga.
"Exactly how that once diverse and globally widespread group dwindled down to a single species in Southeast Asia is still somewhat a mystery, but every little piece that we can slot into the story helps," said study co-author Alexandra Boersma.
The fossil comes from a pivotal period in cetacean evolution, a time when ancient whales diversified into the two main groups we're familiar with today: the baleen whales, like blue whales and humpbacks, and the toothed whales, such as sperm whales, porpoises and dolphins. So it could provide valuable hints as to which evolutionary factors led to these charismatic beasts populating waters around the world.
The find also highlights the urgency of protecting the South Asian river dolphins alive today that are barely hanging on to existence.

"When you first show up at Bodega, you could easily mistake it for a popular neighborhood taqueria. Between the Airstream trailer serving tacos and the picnic tables, it looks like a low-key spot. It is that, but as you see the Ubers full of models and clubgoers arriving and disappearing into the small taco joint, you get a sense there might be something more going on. Look around for a guy with an earpiece at the back of the room and tell him your friend sent you, and you might just get directed to a back door that looks like an entrance to a Porta Potti. Pass through here and you'll enter a graffiti-filled men's washroom. It's only after passing through yet another door that you will enter one of South Beach's hot hidden nightclubs. The mixologists have an extensive menu that relies heavily on "illegal" mezcal, and the DJ keeps the room pumping all through the night. It caters to a friendly, slightly older crowd and makes for a good introduction to the South Beach scene minus the cover charge and lineups that you'll find at clubs closer to the beach."

"Adult admission: $10 Hours: Wednesday through Monday, 10am to 5pm The Bass Museum of Art is located in Miami Beach. Founded in 1963, it originally consisted largely of the donated private collection of local residents John and Johanna Bass, though it has since more than doubled in size and now includes pieces from a wide range of artists and donors. The permanent galleries reopened in late 2017 with a significantly expanded collection. Unfortunately, the expansion work came at a hefty cost that's now passed on to the once-free museum's customers. Check ahead for special exhibitions, most of which feature work from specific contemporary artists."

"A must if visiting Miami Beach between October - May (stone Crab season): So here's how it works. You tell your friends you're coming to Joe's. Invariably, one of your friends then tells you that he or she "knows a guy who'll get you in." You then get to hear all the tips and tricks you need to know to make sure you look and act like you've been to Joe's before. The mystery and fun related to dining at Joe's is ever evolving. So we thought it might be a good idea to put all the important information about coming to Joe's in one place. RESERVATIONS You shouldn't have any reservations about coming to Joe's. That's why we don't take them. Just walk right in and give your name to the Mâitre D'. Guests are seated on a first-come first-serve basis. THE WAIT The wait at Joe's bar is one of the more legendary "see-and-be-seen" events in all of South Florida. In fact, we know of at least two people who come to Joe's regularly just for the wait. If, however, "see-and-be-seen" is not your thing, there are options that will help: • Come early. The crowds normally don't get too heavy till after 7:00pm. • Fridays, Saturdays and holidays are typically much more crowded than a normal weekday crowd. • Joe's Take Away is bit more laid back and has bistro tables and a great wine bar. • Order Online. Packages are shipped out overnight and there's rarely a wait for your dining room table. DRESS CODE It's Joe's. Please choose an outfit in which we'll both be comfortable. Casual, but neat attire. Men must have sleeves. No beach attire. No athletic wear. No cut off shorts. CHILDREN We welcome children at Joe's, however Joe's is typically pretty crowded. Our seating captains, waiters and busboys are all moving fast in order to deliver great service and cover a lot of area. In this atmosphere, a stroller can easily lead to broken plates, spilled drinks and an embarrassed guy in a suit sprawled out on the floor. So to avoid the tripping hazard we don't allow strollers in the dining areas and we ask that children be supervised at all time."

Your digestive tract begins in your mouth and runs all the way through your body as one continuous system. Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, causes problems at the upper end, from the mouth and lungs down to the stomach, whereas irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, is characterized by abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation. In both health conditions, symptoms may be triggered and relieved by eliminating certain foods from your diet.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
GERD occurs when the muscle that holds food and liquid in your stomach weakens, allowing digestive acid from the stomach to wash up into your esophagus. When this reflux happens, the acid causes burning, chest discomfort and pain that worsens when you bend over or lie down. The bitter fluid may flow up toward your throat or reach your mouth, causing hoarseness, coughing and possibly shortness of breath. A GERD diet lowers the chance of having reflux by eliminating foods known to trigger the problem.
GERD Diet Guidelines
You can continue to eat your favorite fruits, vegetables, grains and fish with few exceptions. You can also enjoy dairy, meat and poultry, but stick with low-fat or skim dairy products and lean meat, which have 10 grams of fat or less per serving. A GERD diet is mostly about avoiding the foods that trigger reflux for you. High-fat and fried foods are known to cause GERD. You may also need to limit or avoid spicy foods, onions, chocolate, peppermint, citrus fruit, tomatoes and tomato products. Reflux-causing beverages include alcohol, coffee, carbonated drinks and citrus juices.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
IBS has many causes, but regardless of its origin, the symptoms are the same: abdominal pain and a change in stool frequency, which may be diarrhea, constipation or both. Some of the same foods that trigger GERD may also cause IBS symptoms. General guidelines from the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse recommend avoiding or limiting high-fat foods, milk products, alcohol and caffeine.
Foods You Can Eat With IBS
If you have IBS, you can eat all types of fish and lean protein but only certain fruits and vegetables. Lean cuts of beef include sirloin, loin and round, as well as 90 percent lean ground beef. Pork loin and tenderloin cuts are also lean. For poultry, choose breast meat and be sure to remove the skin. The Stanford Hospital recommends wheat-free or gluten-free grains, such as rice, quinoa, corn and sorghum. Replace cow's milk with soy, rice or almond milk or with lactose-free cow's milk. Some of the fruits you can eat include bananas, berries, grapes, cantaloupe and oranges. For vegetables, go with bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, potatoes, squash, tomatoes, yams and leafy greens.

Please consider making a donation to SSDP so that they can help as many college students make it to Federal Marijuana Lobby Day in Washington D.C. as possible. More information about Federal Marijuana Lobby Day is below:
Our movement faces a critically limited window of time between now and this summer, when the U.S. House of Representatives may vote on an amendment that would seek to curtail DEA enforcement activities in states with legal marijuana markets. Join SSDP for a day of lobbying training, then head to Capitol Hill to make your voice heard.

"Give yourselves to God… Surrender your whole being to him to be used for righteous purposes. " Romans 6:13(TEV)
Surrendering should not be taken as a negative act. It is actually the heart of worship. It is how we submit ourselves for God's glory without questioning his will. It is our in depth realization that God is love; fear, pride and confusion should not hinder us from completely giving in and living our lives for him and in him alone.
Trust. Trusting God is essential. You'll never submit yourself into something you don't fully believe in. Trust is when you finally know God and you let him into your life without doubts or hesitations. Love casts all fears. Learn to know how much God loves you so that you will trust him with your life.
God love us as he gave us his only begotten son. Jesus died on the cross to show how much he loves us. "I love you this much! I'd rather die than live without you."
Surrendering to God gives us freedom and not bondage. It is a realization that God is our Saviour and not our enemy who'll bring us harm when we surrender. Remind yourself all the time that you are not in control with your life. We aren't God and will never be. The more you let God rule over your life, the more it will be meaningful. We all become persons who he intended us to be.
Smile, God knows better.
When in doubt of my life, I completely surrender all my worries, my doubts and my fears to God. With him, I worry less. I surrender to his will and wait for his plans to unfold in my life patiently. Surrendered hearts show up best in relationships. You don't edge yourself out of the situation, you accept it all — whole-heartedly.
I always pray that God will never leave me in times of trials. I completely trust his power because he is God, he is beyond what I can comprehend. Giving into his will takes a lot of courage.
As what E. Stanley Jones said once and as published in the book: "If you don't surrender to Christ, you surrender to chaos."
Say YES to GOD!!! Nothing under God's wing will result to chaos. Trusting him and his divine plan will result to a more meaningful life.

Create an account today to get BiggerPocket's best blog articles delivered to your inbox Sign up for free From 2004-2006, I used a variation of this script to knock on 60-80 doors every weekend. I was very strategic about the doors I chose to knock on. The homeowner had to be in foreclosure, 30 days or less until their auction date. That way, I knew I was dealing with a highly motivated seller. When the market crashed in 2007 I abandoned this approach. It didn't make a lot of sense to knock on doors when there were so many underwater homeowners in foreclosure. The lowest hanging fruit could be plucked at the auction or on the multiple listing service. Now in Phoenix (and many other real estate markets across the country) it feels like 2005 all over again. Inventory levels are shrinking and prices are on the rise. A housing analyst here predicts that prices will go up 25% by the end of 2012. First-time homebuyers, second homebuyers and long-term investors are gobbling up short sale and REO inventory on the MLS. Auction properties are selling for 95% of after-repair value. I lamented this recent phenomenon in a post for BiggerPockets.com a few weeks ago (Getting Priced out of the Fix and Flip Market) and recommended a change in marketing strategy – door knocking, direct mail and new markets. I quickly discovered that I'm a little rusty with this stuff. Okay, I'm VERY rusty. Guerrilla marketing has changed a lot and I haven't knocked on a door since June of 2006 – my last direct mail campaign was in 2004. Lucky for me, I have BiggerPockets.com. Inspired by this forum post by Michael Quarles, I built a website with a Google voice number to capture leads. This took about 3 hours to create using GoDaddy and WordPress and cost about $60 for one year of hosting. The voicemail line was free because I already have a Gmail account. The next step is to create a letter/postcard to mail out to distressed/absentee/free and clear homeowners (I already have the list, more than 20,000 names and addresses). I'll keep you posted on my progress with this. As for new markets – on Monday my partner Manny Romero and I drove to the Palm Desert area in California to scope out the fix and flip scene there. Manny grew up in Palm Springs and the demographics are similar to Phoenix. We met with a few Realtors and an auction bidding service (more on this in the coming weeks). I look at fix and flipping like fishing. To find great deals you need the right bait and a lot of lines in the water. It may take some time to find the best fishing hole but the rewards outweigh the risks. Stay tuned.

Exodus 18 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Jethro, Moses' Father-in-law
18 Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel His people, how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt. 2 Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Moses' wife Zipporah, after he had sent her away, 3 and her two sons, of whom [a]one was named Gershom, for Moses said, "I have been a [b]sojourner in a foreign land." 4 [c]The other was named [d]Eliezer, for he said, "The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh."
5 Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses [e]in the wilderness where he was camped, at the mount of God. 6 He [f]sent word to Moses, "I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you with your wife and her two sons with her." 7 Then Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and he bowed down and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare and went into the tent. 8 Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the hardship that had befallen them on the journey, and how the Lord had delivered them. 9 Jethro rejoiced over all the goodness which the Lord had done to Israel, [g]in delivering [h]them from the hand of the Egyptians. 10 So Jethro said, "Blessed be the Lord who delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of Pharaoh, and who delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. 11 Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods; [i]indeed, it was proven when they dealt proudly against [j]the people." 12 Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat [k]a meal with Moses' father-in-law before God.
13 It came about the next day that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood about Moses from the morning until the evening. 14 Now when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, "What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge and all the people stand about you from morning until evening?" 15 Moses said to his father-in-law, "Because the people come to me to inquire of God. 16 When they have a [l]dispute, it comes to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor and make known the statutes of God and His laws."
Jethro Counsels Moses
17 Moses' father-in-law said to him, "The thing that you are doing is not good. 18 You will surely wear out, both yourself and [m]these people who are with you, for the [n]task is too heavy for you; you cannot do it alone. 19 Now listen to [o]me: I will give you counsel, and God be with you. [p]You be the people's representative before God, and you bring the [q]disputes to God, 20 then teach them the statutes and the laws, and make known to them the way in which they are to walk and the work they are to do. 21 Furthermore, you shall [r]select out of all the people able men who fear God, men of truth, those who hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders of thousands, [s]of hundreds, [t]of fifties and [u]of tens. 22 Let them judge the people at all times; and let it be that every major [v]dispute they will bring to you, but every minor [w]dispute they themselves will judge. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you. 23 If you do this thing and God so commands you, then you will be able to [x]endure, and all [y]these people also will go to [z]their place in peace."
24 So Moses listened [aa]to his father-in-law and did all that he had said. 25 Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, leaders of thousands, [ab]of hundreds, [ac]of fifties and [ad]of tens. 26 They judged the people at all times; the difficult [ae]dispute they would bring to Moses, but every minor [af]dispute they themselves would judge. 27 Then Moses [ag]bade his father-in-law farewell, and he went his way into his own land.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
I don't know which Whole House System would be best for me. What next?
We have a Water Quality Specialist on staff that will review, with you, your local water report. Based on what is in your water, we will customize a system that best suits your needs to remove the contaminants that are most prevalent in your water. CWR is not a "one size fits all" company. Each system is specifically customized for you.
Why do I need a shower filter?
You can absorb just as much chlorine, if not more, by taking a shower or bathing in chlorinated water. The average person showers for about 10-15 minutes, greatly increasing your exposure to toxic contaminants. This is why shower filtration and bathtub filtration is an absolute must.
How long does the ceramic filter last?
The duration of the filter life depends upon the quality of your water. The Ceramic part of the ceramic filter will last indefinitely, providing the ceramic does not wear out from cleaning. However, depending on the levels of chemicals in your water, the carbon block could be used up in no less than 3 months. The Ceramic filter has been rated for approximately 9-12 months for a family of 2-3, and approximately 3-6 months for a family of 4 or more. Larger households necessitates more frequent filter changes.
How long do upgrade ( Fluoride/ Heavy Metal, Alkaline, VOC...etc.) filters last?
The duration of an upgrade filter life depends upon the quality of your water, just like the ceramic filters. Once the media inside of the filter has adsorbed its maximum capacity of contaminants, there are no more binding sites for chemicals, necessitating filter changes. Filter changes for upgrade filters typically range between 9-12 months for a family of 2-3, and approximately 3-6 months for a family of 4 or more.
Should I be concerned with your plastic drinking water filter housings?
Not at all. Our Crown Series housings use FDA approved, non leachable polypropylene that contains no plasticizers.
Why do I have to flush certain filters?
Each filter has loose particulates that must be flushed out, similar to a pour through pitcher filter that has a carbon block. It is necessary to flush the filter for 10-15 minutes to ensure that all of the loose particulates have been removed. Some filters have to be flushed to activate the media inside cartridge.
What if I purchased online, does CWR provide customer service?
Yes, CWR has service technicians available Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm that can assist with any service issues varying from installing an entire new unit, or replacing the filters. For any other general questions, CWR's sales staff can assist you.
Are items refundable if it doesn't fit or I don't like it?
Absolutely! All items (excluding custom whole house systems) are returnable for up to 30 days, and we will refund you the cost of the item. Shipping is not refundable. After 30 days, there is a 25% restocking fee if the item is unused. If the item has been used, we can not accept it back into our inventory.
Is there a warranty on your products?
All shower filters, bathtub filters, and drinking water filters have a 1- Year Limited Warranty.
Will I be notified of when I need to change my filters and order a new set?
Our sales team will attempt to reach you at the number or email you have provided. If we can not reach you directly we will leave a voicemail and try again at a later date. Remember: it is crucial that you change the filters at the recommended intervals for the unit to perform properly. Prolonging your filter change intervals put you at risk for consuming contaminants in your water supply.

BSoUP's Best of British Portfolio Competition
Winner - Martha Tressler
Martha Tressler
My winning British Portfolio
by Martha Tressler
The pictures, in order, are a seal taken in the
Farne Islands (Sept 2004), a reef scene from St Abbs (Aug 2004), an
Anglerfish in the Farne Islands, about 1996, an Edible Crab in the
Farne Islands (Sept 2004), a Velvet Swimming Crab in St Abbs (Aug
2004) and a Cuttlefish under Swanage Pier (May 2002).
The seal picture was from a dive on which we had an
amazing 45 minutes with this juvenile in 4 meters of water, who kept
interacting with us - mouthing hands, hoses and cameras, having his
head scratched and not wanting us to leave. In only ended when we ran
out of air (literally in my case but you don't need to say that...)
Needless to say I had a 60mm lens on but I still got the shot!
All of these pictures were taken with the F90x
except the Anglerfish which was with the Nik V. All of the slides
were scanned, optimized (nothing I would call manipulation) and made
back into slides for the competition.
As for my reaction on winning - I was delighted to
win my first BSoUP portfolio competition at the same time as becoming
Chairperson of the Society, and am particularly pleased that it is
the British portfolio, images taken on home ground.

Can YOU
Name This Marvel Villain??
I'd frankly be surprised if you took a shot at guessing our mystery villain's name, considering he hasn't chosen one yet. Meet Mortimer Freebish, who's just starting out and intends to become the greatest super-villain EVER. But Mortimer is unfortunately fated to take the trial and error approach to villainy, with emphasis on the "error" part. His first error is in taking on the Falcon, goading his intended victim into a trap by... well, let's just say that Mortimer's first attempt at building his rep isn't going to score him any points in the dignity department.
(You know, he has a point about Hawkeye.)
When midnight arrives, the Falcon is nowhere to be seen--or, as we'll come to find out, noticed. But when Mortimer lines up a shot at Redwing, the Falcon springs his own trap:
Once the Falcon frees Redwing, the battle is on! (Do we really have to call this a battle?) It's clear that Mortimer has come prepared with some creative and even deadly arrow designs, but his target practice sessions have obviously left something to be desired. And the Falcon has all the time he needs to gain the advantage:
At least Mortimer knows one of the first rules of villainy: always have a trick up your sleeve. Though it also helps if you don't leave yourself vulnerable to it:
Mortimer of course is mistaken by thinking that it's the Falcon he spots on the park bench--after all, Falc has no reason to resume his disguise, since he's been on the winning end of this fight. And to underscore that, he takes full advantage of Mortimer's blunder:
Again, Mortimer can forget about his dignity here. At least he wasn't conscious for Falc's little joke at his expense.
To perhaps no one's surprise, a Google search of Mortimer's comics appearances results in just this one story. Though on a positive note, he can at least find satisfaction in a Google search actually bringing up hits on him. Mortimer may indeed be on his way, after all.

Does just-leaked news of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 mean that a new supercar war is heating up – and that there might actually be a strengthening market for such ultra high-end vehicles?
The auto press is buzzing about the Italian automaker's new flagship car, which will reportedly be unveiled March 1 at the Geneva Motor Show.
It comes with a 700-h.p. V-12 engine and a monocoque (one piece) body made exclusively of carbon fiber mounted on a rigid aluminum frame. That results in a power-to-weight ratio that will get Aventador from 0-60 in under three seconds.
If you need to ask what it costs, then you can't afford one. Supercars start at $200,000 and can run north of $500,000 – well north, in fact.
Lamborghini Aventador has an estimated price of about $370,000. But much is being made of a new report from IHS Automotive in Frankfurt that says sales of supercars in the US, the top market, could jump 146 percent this year after skidding 40 percent in 2010.
Like haute couture, the world of supercars heats up around major shows. The spotlight burns bright at Geneva.
This month saw two other supercar announcements. Production started this month in Britain for the McLaren MP4-12C, also to be built of lightweight carbon fiber (dry curb weight: about 3,000 lbs., 0-60 in 3.3 seconds). And from Italy, supercar manufacturer Pagani Automobili SpA – maker of the Zonda, a perennial list-topper when it comes to supercar performance – said it will bring a new $1 million model, the Huayra, to the US market this year.
That car, with a 700-h.p. V12, employs aerodynamic flaps (like those on jet aircraft; these aren't just spoilers and air dams) to help with stability.
Lamborghini, McLaren, and Pagani already were playing in the car-market stratosphere. After the Bugatti Veyron – $1.7 million and, remarkably, street legal – the automakers' last-generation top models, the Reventon ($1.6 million) and the F1 ($970,000), respectively, were the priciest automobiles out there.
Pagani's Zonda came in fifth on most lists after the Ferrari Enzo.

Metropolitan Tikhon visits St. Vladimir's Seminary
When His Beatitude, Metropolitan Tikhon, Primate of the Orthodox Church in America, made his inaugural visit to Saint Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary as its new President and ruling Bishop on November 29, 2012, he sampled the rich diversity of campus life.
First, His Beatitude attended Vespers, along with His Eminence, Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York and a special guest of the seminary for the evening. Second, he sat down to a community fish dinner, prepared by the school's chef and served by faculty and staff. And third, he blessed the school's new exercise/gym facility. In four short hours, Metropolitan Tikhon experienced the mundane and the sublime, the ordinary and extraordinary, the earthy and the heavenly that characterizes daily life at the seminary.
His Beatitude assumed the offices of President of the Seminary and Chair of its Board of Trustees upon his election as Metropolitan of All America and Canada at the OCA's 17th All-American Council November 13, 2012. Archpriest John Behr, Dean, welcomed Metropolitan Tikhon by saying, "This is the first chance we've had to welcome you to our school—I should say 'your school'!—as our President, since your election to the office of Metropolitan. Truly, it is a joy to have you with us."
In response, Metropolitan Tikhon said, "It is a blessing to make my first pastoral visit to join the community here for Vespers and a meal. It was truly a great honor to meet Cardinal Dolan and his delegation, and I am looking forward to returning to the seminary soon to visit and pray with you, as we work together in this sacred task of spiritual education and formation." His Beatitude will return to campus January 17–18, 2013, for the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees.
In acknowledging Cardinal Dolan, Father John continued, "Truly, you also honor us with your presence this evening. The last time we had a Cardinal of the Roman Church here was Cardinal Ratzinger!" [Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, made a brief visit to the seminary in 1998, attending Vespers with the community].
"You've inspired us with all the work you done in leading the advance with the gospel message, especially in your work in education: in uniting three seminaries from different dioceses, in your new program for pastoral education, and in your continuing education for clergy and laity alike," concluded Father John.
With his typical good humor, Cardinal Dolan responded, "The honor of being with you is all mine." Then he quipped, "I am especially happy to be here on the Feast of Saint Andrew, as I've always identified with Saint Andrew, having an impetuous and irascible brother of my own!"
The Cardinal then enumerated the various cooperative projects over the recent years between the Seminary and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese, including concerts of sacred music hosted in some of the most famous Roman Catholic churches in Manhattan, and smaller scale projects with the Crestwood neighborhood's Annunciation Church and nearby Saint Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers.
Metropolitan Tikhon then presented Cardinal Dolan with a gift from the seminary: an ornately carved pectoral cross, gilded with gold on the edge. His Beatitude noted, "As you know, the yoke of a bishop can be heavy to bear; here is a gift from us to make it lighter."
Cardinal Dolan, who came to campus for the occasion at the invitation of Father John Behr and Archpriest Chad Hatfield, seminary Chancellor/CEO, acknowledged the gift with joy, saying, "It's beautiful; I will cherish this."
Father Chad noted, "It's highly symbolic that the Metropolitan of the OCA had his first meeting with Cardinal Dolan on the Feast of Saint Andrew the Apostle, as this feast has come to symbolize the desire of unity between East and West.
"The Cardinal's visit represents the ever-strengthening ties between our seminary and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York," said Father Chad.
Other visiting dignitaries and guests included Rev. Monsignor Peter Vaccari, Rector of Saint Joseph's Seminary, with seminary administrators and faculty, Rev. Matthew Ernest, Director of Liturgical Formation; Rev. Nicholas Zientarski, Dean of Students and Professor of Sacramental Theology; Rev. James Massa, Director of Accreditation and Professor of Dogmatic Theology; Rev. Monsignor Dennis Keane, Rector of the Church of the Annunciation, Crestwood; Rev. Richard Baker, Rector of Saint Malachy's Church ("The Actors' Chapel"), Manhattan; Archpriest Yaroslav Sudick, retired Rector of the OCA's Holy Trinity Church, Yonkers; and Archpriest Eric Tosi, secretary, OCA.
The seminary's new exercise/gym facility was funded by generous donations from members of the school's Board of Trustees and was outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment by the family of Joseph Namee, cousin of trustee Attorney Eric Namee. The new facility is housed in a 1,600 square foot area of the Annex Building (formerly the women's dormitory) and is open to all students, faculty, and staff and their spouses.

Fantastic diary writing Jake as well as knowing your opposites. So what ios the opposite to ascend? (I know it's a tough one). Olivia, teachers really appreciate helpful class members, they make our job easier, but you also deserve a special congratulations for your writing efforts.
Good morning grade 1C. Thankyou for allowing me to work with you today. It was really enjoyable and I am so pleased with what you have been able to write. It was really interesting and I liked the way you were using interesting words like 'awesome'.
Because my weekend was pretty boring, I needed to make it more intereseting, so when I went to the kitchen for breakfast, …………there was an alien at the kitchen table. Unfortunately there wasn't enough cereal, so we had to have a competition to decide who would get the last Vita Brits. We decided to have an arm wrestle and the winner would get the bowl, however the problem was the alien had 15 arms and I only have two.
Grade 1C, I need your help. Can you finish off my imaginative diary entry so that I win and get the bowl of cereal? The alien doesn't speak English and I don't speak Alien so we can't talk to each other which makes it hard to communicate. Good luck ending my diary entry.
Mr Ward
Thanks Mr Ward for coming in our room. Mr Ward was teaching 1c beautifully. The work felt like Prep work. Thanks from Thomas and 1c. Mr Ward is funny.
Congratulations to all the award winners today Sam for his fantastic dairy writing (were there any cows and sheep in your journal?), Holly for her excellent work habits and being a great friend, Emily H for taking responsibility and being helpful in class and Ethan B for his efforts to improve how much writing he does.
Thankyou grade 1 for making me so welcome last week when I came down to have lunch with you at the park. I really wish I could have squashed all of you into my truck so you didn't have walk back up THAT HILL. I was surprised that you arrived back at school so quickly.
Mr W

I have been a patient of Dr. Farid Shodjaee for at least eight years. His wit and charm are surpassed only by his exceptional professionalism. I have never had any problem with any of the dental work that he has performed. He has taken excellent care of my teeth and mouth. I particularly like that he shares both his short-term and long-term objectives with me. He often asks for my input, seriously regarding my concerns I may have. He has always displayed a warm interest in all areas in my life; concentrating on my total well being – not just as it may concern dentistry. Because of this I have not hesitated to recommend Dr. Shodjaee to other friends and family. As a matter of fact, I was pleased and eager to take my 5 year old to see Dr. Shodjaee for his very first dental visit. As every concerned parent can attest, I wanted to ensure that his first experience in a dentist's chair would be a positive one. I knew that as a devoted family man, Dr. Shodjaee would show my son patience, gentleness and guidance; and I was right. My son now looks forward to his next visit, and I praise Dr. Shodjaee and his staff for starting my son off on a positive note. (Then again … Maybe it was the Dr. Seuss movie during the appointment that did it.)

Let this be a testimonial of the health impact that I (Ian Lawford) experienced after all amalgam ( which I believe was close to a dozen fillings) was removed in 2001 when I was 30 yrs old. I am now 35 years old. For almost a decade prior to seeing Dr Shodjaee I experienced a daily suite immune responses, such as fits of sneezing, itchy/watering eyes, and head aches which were elicited from such things as cats, dogs, smoke, perfumes, temperature change and pressure changes. Take offs and landing in airplanes was very painful. Everyday, at least once, perhaps twice a day I would medicate with such things as Claritin and Benadryl. The drugs may have worked temporarily, although this was not a sustainable remedy.
Since my amalgam was removed in 2001, within months, perhaps half a year I noticed significant changes. Although I still sneeze today, after all it is a normal immune response, my quality of health is much better and I no longer experience the debilitating suite of systems described above. For the last 3 years I have not taken any drugs containing pseudophedrin nor have I felt a need for them.
My brother has all of his molars filled with dental amalgam as I did and he experiences the same sensitivities ( if not worse ) that I did prior to the complete removal of mercury. It affects his life so pervasively that before visiting our house, where we have two cats, he medicates himself with Benadryl.
The other testament that I would like to make is the lack of informed consent surrounding the use of mercury in my own personal health care. This means educating clients about the potential for health risks. Regardless of whether the topic is still up for discussion or not, the consumer can not make an informed decision and therefore empowered, until they a educated. Also, even though I am now aware of the potential for health risks, I as a consumer should be able to decide whether I want dental amalgam used or not. In my sons case this was not our experience. We were told stainless steel would be used and we felt fine with that. However, we were shocked to find most of his teeth filled with amalgam. We felt very disempowered!!
I sincerely hope that the history of hegemony by doctors and the subjugation of patients continues to change. It can only lead to better patient care.
Ian Lawford

Version 0.9.11b4 completes the tethered JB support for 5.1.1 on A4 devices and earlier, including proper "Stitching" and "Custom" creation of NO_BB IPSWs.

Future of the Left's last album Travels With Myself and Another startled those of a janglier disposition by highlighting with clean strokes something that had previously been lost in the racket, namely that Andy Falkous is as good a lyricist as British music possesses. He has an unholy skill for injecting icy chill into a desensitised mind, while shining bleak light on the darkest parts of a person's soul. He tinges misanthropy with the arch assault of a crippling sense of humour. You would like to buy him a pint.
Since hit-and-miss debut Curses rose from the ashes of unnecessarily brilliant hardcore types McLusky in 2007, Future of the Left have been busy barging into the indie-or-something market with gusto, simultaneously shaking off accusations of po-face misanthropy and high and mighty middle-class cynicism. Are Future of the Left po-faced? Of course not - just marvel at those thundering riffs! - they are simply uncompromising preachers of undiluted honesty, in a genre altogether more prolific in purveying the arts of calculation, myth-making and narcissism. Are they high and mighty? Well yes but if that's genuinely ruffling feathers then the point's been sorely missed. When even the majority of our rock stars are neither high nor mighty, where in Satan's name does that leave the rest of us?
The fact is Future of the Left rock the jeffing socks clean off the most feted contemporary exponents of the rock genre, along with their wormy intentions. What the righteous Welshfolk (along with bass-slinging Australian addition Julia Ruzicka) offer with Polymers are Forever, a six-track EP of wiry synths and Wire-y sounds, is a bracing kind of truth. Incensed finale 'destroywhitchurch.com', a bizarre juggernaut of a thing in three schizophrenic parts, delivers the truth about human sanctity and sanity, or the deafening lack thereof, in a world where you know not local backstreets but billboards like the back of your hand. About the ugly roar of capitalism and the scummy backwash of first-world progress. About a "disappointing insurance salesman" called Roy, who you "dismiss from your drive with a flick of your pudding hand." It basically sounds like prime-era Les Savy Fav running some kind of existential triathlon with politically-charged Duracells shoved up their arse, ergo, really, really awesome.
As a rule Falkous's wordplay-ridden lyrics - often enjoy-now, pay-attention-later kinda things - are most potent when they hit a nerve, or pull back the curtain on some form of inhuman bullshit or another. Appropriately then, the best song on Polymers, a stopgap before a February-bound full-length, is 'Emily': it appears to be about interactive sex channels. "She is the opposite of sex / But the opposite of sex is still better than love," spits a disdainful Falkous with a grotesque, loping flow, before he adopts the role of pervy producer-man to enthusiastically leer "crawl into camera six!" over a chorus of circusy wurlitzer-synth, cramming into four words a brutal insight that lesser bands - etiolated rockers in particular - routinely waste careers not fully grasping or even reaching for. (It's the "crawl," I think, that does it. What else crawls? A hobbled torture victim, a stupid toddler?) By way of conclusion, Falkous yells the word "six" over and over again as if strapped to a chair and being subjected to some weird correctional therapy, until it becomes intentionally indistinguishable from the word "sex". You don't so much take his point as nod madly in blind agreement with it seared on the back of your mind's eyelids.
We're getting on, lengthwise, for an EP review, so I'll move quickly on (although, why not expound? Future of the Left are unrevered masters in their field, not merely a ham-fisted coterie of sit-down pissers releasing halitosis-ridden sevens on a hip, half-arsed DIY label), except to say 'New Adventures'' narrative is consistently both laugh-out-loud funny and actively upsetting, 'My Wife' and 'Dry Hate' are fine if a step down from the rib-twisting sonic superiority of the others and the title track might take a few goes on account of Falkous' affected, Axl Rose sneer, but ultimately sits handsomely alongside the rest of the guy's finest work, culminating in the sort of preposterous singalong you suspect few others would bother trying to get away with.
Whether Future of the Left are brave or plain stupid for pursuing righteous enlightenment in these mediocre times is surely a matter of opinion. But you feel to write them off as one-trick ponies would be fundamentally very, very wrong. Polymers Are Forever lurches, strives and sneers with all the subtlety of a bulldozer through the houses of parliament, following a royal lineage of bands like The Fall, Half Man Half Biscuit, and most pressingly, Wire, whose first two albums lend a heavier influence to Falkous and co's work with each release. At a time when people and pop stars are more desperate than ever to conceal their human flaws - and vitally, more capable of doing same - it's increasingly important we give misanthropes the stage they've spent their lives craving, and loathing, from the comfort of their settees. Well, here it is. And if these are just the b-sides...

Quake city
I was in New Zealand briefly at the weekend, and took a look around the city of Christchurch.
The already weakened city was flattened by an earthquake in February 2011, and ultimately lost about 80 per cent of its CBD commercial buildings, and sadly, 185 lives were lost too.
While some office workers were able to keep their jobs, reportedly only around 10 per cent of services jobs in the CBD were retained, and the unemployment rate rose to 8 per cent before falling sharply again over time.
Even today it's not hard to see why the jobs were initially lost - after the structurally unsafe buildings were pulled down there wasn't a whole lot left.
Over 10,000 homes had to be demolished, while around 100,000 were damaged.
It has taken a long period of time to pull down the buildings, but the rebuild is now well underway with more than NZ$1 billion of construction work done in Canterbury per quarter.
The cost of rebuilding the city, to be paid for by a combination of insurance payouts and government expenditure has been put at anywhere from $40 billion to $80 billion (NZD).
Although many services jobs were lost, the local economy has experienced a severe shortage of workers in the construction sector, with some 45,000 employees needed at the peak of the rebuild.
The whole of New Zealand didn't have enough skilled labour to undertake the work required, let alone Canterbury.
As a result, thousands of migrant construction workers have been brought in from overseas.
With Australia's resources construction boom having peaked in 2012, Christchurch was successful in attracting some workers back from Australian mines.
You can clearly see in my blog post here how the dynamics of population flows between Australia and New Zealand shifted pre- and post-mining boom.
The Quake City Museum is well worth a visit, although frankly it's also terrifying.

Ask me my dreams and hopes; I'll present my tragedies,
Ask me my tragedies; I'll present my dreams and hopes,
Look for what fuels my passion; you'll see the void in me,
Look for the void in me; you'll see what fuels my passion,
Force me to recall paradise; I could only imagine hell,
Force me to imagine hell; I could only recall paradise,
Trap me in a room with people, I wish to be alone,
Trap me in a room alone, I wish to be with people
Tell me to write my problems, I'll show my fantasies,
Tell me to write my fantasies, I'll show my problems,
Talk to me about my emotions, I'll talk about my poetry
Talk to me about my poetry, I'll talk about my emotions
Hi. My name is Terence. I'm the curator of Kuching Poetry. That's me pretending to be in-tune with nature. I post poems of questionable quality that references Kuching directly or indirectly on this blog.
