Posted: 8:28 p.m. Sunday, June 2, 2013
By Jamie Dupree
One week off did nothing to dim the focus in Congress on questionable actions by the Internal Revenue Service, as the new acting chief of the tax agency will face lawmakers on Monday, while outrage continues to build against the IRS on a number of fronts.
"The IRS spent $50 million on employee conferences? That is outrageous," said Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD). "The American taxpayer deserves better."
That $50 million in conference spending between 2010-2012 included an over $4 million tab for a gathering in California that will be the subject of a hearing on Thursday, as the IRS finds itself on the defensive for much more than the targeting of Tea Party groups that were seeking tax exempt status.
In advance of the release of a report on the spending for that conference, the IRS released a dance video done by the tax agency as part of a 2010 conference in Anaheim, California.
This is the same conference that also featured a parody video of Star Trek, in which executives of the IRS ventured to the planet "No Tax."
Meanwhile, on the IRS targeting of more conservative groups, there is no sign of let up on that front for Republicans, as two House panels will look at that scandal on Monday and Tuesday, while a third continues to interview IRS employees from the Cincinnati office that has taken the blame for the political targeting.
In a series of transcript excerpts released this weekend by the House Oversight Committee, the GOP argues that it is clear that targeting was spurred by higher-ups in Washington, D.C., and not undertaken by a bunch of rogue employees in Ohio.
Here are some portions of the interivews (taken under oath) released by the panel to reporters:
One Cincinnati IRS employee interviewed by the Oversight Committee rejects the White House assertion and points to Washington as being responsible for targeting effort:
Q: In early 2010, was there a time when you became aware of applications that referenced Tea Party or other conservative groups?
A: In March of 2010, I was made aware.
Q: Okay. Now, was there a point around this time period when [your supervisor] asked you to do a search for similar applications?
A: Yes.
Q: To the best of your recollection, when was this request made?
A: Sometime in early March of 2010.
Q: Did [your supervisor] give you any indication of the need for the search, any more context?
A: He told me that Washington, D.C., wanted some cases.******
Q: So as of April 2010, these 40 cases were held at that moment in your group; is that right?
A: Some were.
Q: How many were held there?
A: Less than 40. Some went to Washington, D.C.
Q: Okay. How many went to Washington, D.C.?
A: I sent seven.
Q: So you prepared seven hard copy versions of the applications to go to Washington, D.C.?
A: Correct.
Q: Did he give you any sort of indication as to why he requested you to do that?
A: He said Washington, D.C. wanted seven. Because at one point I believe I heard they were thinking 10, but it came down to seven. I said okay, seven.
Q: How did you decide which seven were sent?
A: Just the first seven.
Q: The first seven to come into the system?
A: Yes.
Q: Did anyone else ever make a request that you send any cases to Washington?
A: [Different IRS employee] wanted to have two cases that she couldn't ‑‑ Washington, D.C. wanted them, but she couldn't find the paper. So she requested me, through an email, to find these cases for her and to send them to Washington, D.C.
Q: When was this, what time frame?
A: I don't recall the time frame, maybe May of 2010.
Q: But just to be clear, she told you the specific names of these applicants.
A: Yes.
Q: And she told you that Washington, D.C. had requested these two specific applications be sent to D.C.
A: Yes, or parts of them.
******Q: Okay. So she asked you to send particular parts of these applications.
A: Mm‑hmm.
Q: And that was unusual. Did you say that?
A: Yes.
Q: And she indicated that Washington had requested these specific parts of these specific applications; is that right?
A: Correct.
Q: So what do you think about this, that allegation has been made, I think as you have seen in lots of press reports, that there were two rogue agents in Cincinnati that are sort of responsible for all of the issues that we have been talking about today. What do you think about those allegations?
A: It's impossible. As an agent we are controlled by many, many people. We have to submit many, many reports. So the chance of two agents being rogue and doing things like that could never happen.
Q: And you've heard, I'm sure, news reports about individuals here in Washington saying this is a problem that was originated in and contained in the Cincinnati office, and that it was the Cincinnati office that was at fault. What is your reaction to those types of stories?
A: Well, it's hard to answer the question because in my mind I still hear people saying we were low‑level employees, so we were lower than dirt, according to people in D.C. So, take it for what it is. They were basically throwing us underneath the bus.
Q: So is it your perspective that ultimately the responsible parties for the decisions that were reported by the IG are not in the Cincinnati office?
A: I don't know how to answer that question. I mean, from an agent standpoint, we didn't do anything wrong. We followed directions based on other people telling us what to do.
Q: And you ultimately followed directions from Washington; is that correct?
A: If direction had come down from Washington, yes.
Q: But with respect to the particular scrutiny that was given to Tea Party applications, those directions emanated from Washington; is that right?
A: I believe so.And another more senior IRS Cincinnati employee complained about micromanagement from D.C.:
Q: But you specifically recall that the BOLO terms included "Tea Party?"
A: Yes, I do.
Q: And it was your understanding ‑‑ was it your understanding that the purpose of the BOLO was to identify Tea Party groups?
A: That is correct.
Q: Was it your understanding that the purpose of the BOLO was to identify conservative groups?
A: Yes, it was.
Q: Was it your understanding that the purpose of the BOLO was to identify Republican groups?
A: Yes, it was.
Q: Earlier I believe you informed us that the primary reason for applying for another job in July [2010] was because of the micromanagement from [Washington, DC, IRS Attorney], is that correct?
A: Right. It was the whole Tea Party. It was the whole picture. I mean, it was the micromanagement. The fact that the subject area was extremely sensitive and it was something that I didn't want to be associated with.
Q: Why didn't you want to be associated with it?
A: For what happened now. I mean, rogue agent? Even though I was taking all my direction from EO Technical [Washington, D.C], I didn't want my name in the paper for being this rogue agent for a project I had no control over.
Q: Did you think there was something inappropriate about what was happening in 2010?
A: Yes. The inappropriateness was not processing these applications fairly and timely.
******Q: You have stated you had concerns with the fairness and the timeliness of the application process. Did you have concerns with just the fact that these cases were grouped together and you were the only one handling them?
A: I was the only one handling the Tea Party's, that is correct.
Q: Did that specifically cause you concern?
A: Yes, it did. And I was the only person handling them.
Q: Were you concerned that you didn't have the capacity to process all of the applications in a timely manner?
A: That is correct. And it is just ‑‑ I mean, like you brought up, the micromanagement, the fact that the topic was just weirdly handled was a huge concern to me.
At this writing, there are three hearings scheduled this week on the IRS:
+ Monday - House Appropriations Committee with Acting IRS Chief Danny Werfel and the IRS inspector general Russell George
+ Tuesday - House Ways and Means Committee, with groups that were targeted by the IRS
+ Thursday - House Oversight Committee hearing on conference spending by IRS, focusing on 2010 gathering in California that cost over $4 million for 2600 IRS employees

Milner seeks to avoid San Marino shock
James Milner has urged England to avoid the embarrassing moment from 20 years ago that will always be associated with their meetings with San Marino in Friday's World Cup qualifier.
But Milner believes England's win over Brazil at Wembley last month - albeit in a friendly international - has given them belief should they qualify for the 2014 World Cup.
Milner was a young boy watching in his local cricket club when Stuart Pearce's back pass led to San Marino scoring after 8.3 seconds in another World Cup qualifier.
England went onto win that game 7-1 but that early wake-up call is sufficient reason for Milner not to take anything for granted in this week's clash which will precede a more testing meeting with Montenegro in Podgorica.
Milner said: "Every game you have to treat the same whether it is San Marino or Brazil. You are playing for England so you play to the best of your ability.
"These games are never easy. People say we will beat San Marino 8-0 but it never happens like that. It is international football.
"When a team sets up to defend from the first minute with all the players behind the ball, it is not easy to get a breakthrough.
"San Marino are a team who, if they go down 1-0 down, will not push for an equaliser. They will stick to their guns so it is important we work hard on our attacking play.
"We need to work out how we can break them down and ease the tension and then enjoy ourselves. That's when you play your best football and hopefully we can score a lot of goals.
"The longer the game goes on without scoring, when it gets close to half-time, it can play on your mind and you can make forced passes.
"You should remain patient. It is important we do the things we know we can do well. We need to keep playing like we have been."
Milner admitted: "I remember what happened in 1993. San Marino scored after about eight seconds.
"I was watching on the TV at my local cricket club. It was one of those moments when everything seemed to stand still.
"It just went deathly quiet. I expected it to be a good game to watch and after eight seconds it was 1-0 to them.
"It shows what can happen and hopefully that will not happen on Friday.
"Hopefully we will be the ones to get the early goal. We have to make sure we do the job from the first second to the last second."
Milner believes England's 2-1 win over the Brazilians last month courtesy of Frank Lampard's stunning strike will stand them in good stead should go through to the finals.
He said: "Every time you play Brazil, you are playing one of the best sides in the world. To get a win like gives you a lot of confidence.
"It was a good performance as well and we can take a lot of confidence from it, even though it was a friendly.
"We know that if, hopefully, we do qualify, and come up against those teams again, we are well equipped. We know we can get a win against them."

In the land of liberty and opportunity, startups continue to make up a smaller share of the American business landscape.
The last 30 years has seen a steady drop in the share of young firms compared to all firms, and the trend persisted in 2010, according to a report by the Kauffman Foundation based on new U.S. Census data.
Those companies that are less than five years old in 2010 made up 35% of all firms, down from 49% in 1982.
The development is "worrisome," since much research links young firms to innovation and productivity growth, said Javier Miranda, principal economist at the Census Bureau's Center for Economic Studies. Miranda worked on the Kauffman study along with Census economist Ron S. Jarmin and John C. Haltiwanger, a University of Maryland professor.
When firms aren't getting more productive, there's less pressure on wages to rise, Miranda added. "There are important potential implications for our ability to create jobs and increase living standards," he said.
A greater prevalence of larger, older companies presents risks to the economy as a whole, Miranda said. Bigger, more established corporations are less likely to take chances and adopt innovative technology or business strategies. In being less nimble, they're more exposed to economic volatility, Miranda said.
"That means it's hard to steer them when there's a shock, when the economy's facing problems," Miranda said.
The trend also threatens to put a damper on job creation. In 2010, young firms created 31% of all U.S. jobs, according to the study, released Wednesday. That's down from 44% in 1982. On average, startups have about six employees.
Haltiwanger, Jarmin and Miranda previously approached the role of new firms as job creators in 2010, when they published a report challenging the conventional wisdom that small businesses of all ages are the source of new jobs. They found it was young firms -- not all small businesses -- that fulfill this role.
But a declining share of startups could threaten that. In 1980, one in five Americans worked for a young company. It's now one in eight.
But where jobs are created they are also often times destroyed. For years, federal data have shown the number of new firms each year is nearly equal to those that fold.
Miranda said one explanation for a reduced percentage of startups could be that the businesses that weren't created are ones that would have been destined for failure anyway. If that's true, those that close shop are not the productivity enhancers we should worry about losing.
"We don't really know whether the firms that are failing to come in are ones that wouldn't have been very good anyway," he said.

If there's still any doubt we know how to party, you should probably buy a copy of Redbook or Cosmo or some other women's magazine and complete one of those surveys, something like; "Are You a Frigid Bitch?" Then pull the rubber safety cone sized cork out of your ass and come on down and party like it's the "Last Shuttle to Endor..." sung by a dead zombie animated Davey Jones. leave your hardcore jock-biker attitudes at community college or Jiffy Lube, wherever you SOA trend setters mingle... who knows? You might just save the Princess and get to kiss her (and she's your sister, and we're all okay with that here. jus' saying.)

I'll tape this part to keep it from banging around until the brake cable gets in.
Air the tires up, then deflate, then air them up.
Time to remove the bike from the engine cradle stand.
My wife helped out on this one. Yeah buddy, now it's a roller!
Now to pick a set of pegs and engine guard. I haven't sent either of these to a powdercoater because I made the mistake of sending a set of badly bent CT90 pegs to the powdercoater once. I want to mock-up the engine guard and pegs first. The cleaner set seems to the best choice.
Longer bolts and washers with the lock washer up from on the peg mounts.Those bolts go through the engine guard, too.
Hmmmm... Another extra bolt in the bag.
I couldn't remember if the guard or footpegs mount up first. The pegs go on first then the guard.
The next question, that I ought to know the answer to, is does the brake pedal slap the footpegs like a CT90? Yes, hard to get a picture of it, but clearly there is a witness mark on the pedal.
Back bolts, first.
Where it slaps.
Now to get to the guard. It should be four 6 X 16 mm bolts,
I thought this was the right bag, but I don't have four bolts that long, but we'll work with what I have.
Two bolts here.
Two bolts there.
Last two bolts underneath.
The guard bolted up straight and true enough.
The pegs look straight and true as well.
Ugh, this is the only spark plug guard I have and it's dented. My powdercoat can probably make that presentable again.
Pretty easy to see how that dent got there.
I am very tempted to not use that guard and even cut the tabs off the engine guard, but this bike is for my son to wreck and that guard will save the sparkplug.
Take all that off and send it to the powdercoater.
The pegs need to come apart.
This may not be the best way to get the kickstand spring, but it did work out. Kickstand nut comes off.
Hold the stand and mount so that the shoulder bolt is not bond up. It's still tight, so I have turned it out even though there are no threads.
It came apart with no pinched fingers or swear words. That's better than I hoped.
The pegs should fold up all the way like this for wrecking/storaging/hauling sake.
The left side does not fold up properly. The detent ball is jamming up.
WD-40 and more force help, but there's still a mid point catch spot I don't like. I have seen this before with pegs. That shiny high spot of raised metal is the problem.
I considered robbing the other left peg, but it was just as jammed and really nasty dirty.
So I will fix the one I have. Remove cotter pin and lynchpin.
That's not quite straight.
Blend to remove high metal.
Rattail file the contact area.
Useable. I'm glad I didn't need to do that to fresh powdercoat.
Functional again.
The ball comes out, but I don't think the spring does. I couldn't get it and it's not on the parts diagram.
Now the pile can go to the powdercoater.
In a bid to install a part that I won't immediately take back off. I will install the handlebar knobs.
These things are notorious for rusting up and sticking. I will clean off most of the old rust first.
I'm going to use some anti-seize on these threads to avoid future problems.
Castellated nut threads in here.
You have to have an adjustable hook spanner to work on these little Hondas.
Snug that down good.
Install the second one.
Time to install the spaghetti.
The ignition switch and handlebar leads go into the body and you need to get arm pit deep into the frame to fish it to the front.
Work the switch into place out the left and pull handlebar leads out the hole on the right.
The switch has a knotch that aligns with a tab in the hole.
Another special nut.
Another special driver.
Looks good, but the weird thing on a K0 Trail 70 is that the battery ground is not permenant to the chassis, but it goes through the switch housing. Given the powdercoat, I should check to make sure I have a good ground, but I don't have an ohm meter in my work shed and I don't want to walk to my garage in the snow and cold to get one. I will do that later.
The generator/points connect to the main harness with this plug, inside the body of course.
I didn't verify this one, but black wire from the coil to the black wire of the main harness.
Not much to see at the end of the day, but getting thing together, one bit at a time.

I was lucky enough to go here a couple of years back. It's on the island of Mallorca. You can only get there by boat, it's half way up a cliff and you have to hike up a winding path from the sea. There is no gas, electricity from a generator (which I can confirm was working because the beer and wine was icy cold) and everything is cooked on a wood fired stove. The
Paella was amazing, the best I have ever eaten. I dream about this place sometimes. One day I'm going to go back, one day.

The Lady Hump Ghoul Pool
Every year we throw three names into the mix and whoever, if anyone, picks names of people/persons that pass away during the year, then it's winner winner chicken dinner!
2013 picks
were pretty slim. I picked three people whom I thought had a pretty good chance of slipping into the great beyond; Lawrence Tureaud (aka Mr.T), Carlos Ray Norris (aka Chuck), and William Shatner. None of them crossed the great divide...
But one of the contestants, Mr. Twisty McFisty, picked himself, Bill Cosby, and ...
If no one else's picks make it through the Pearly Gates by the end of the year... Mr. McFisty will take this years prize!!!
REGISTRATION IS OPEN NOW THROUGH DEC 21st 2013
Chose any three (3) names you think will make the leap in 2014 and write them in the comment section below... about a year from now. We'll see who the winner is? Sounds like fun doesn't it... Rules? Who cares, the person(s) you pick now has to be living now, and has to expire between January 1st 2014 and January 1st 2015.
The Lady Hump's 2014 picks are as follows:
1.) Lindsay Lohan (I picked her before in 2012 but she didn't eat a bullet. One can hope...)
2.) Chaim Weitz (aka Gene Simmons)
3.) Milton Teagle Simmons (aka Richard Simmons)
Some might consider this in poor taste. But you know, like whatever...

2012 Geneva Motor Show
March 2, 2012 by Bela
Filed under Business News
Comments Off
2012 Geneva Motor Show, Lexus is to premiere its updated RX 450h at the Geneva Motor Show. It gets a tweaked front end, as you can see in this teaser shot. The update brings the styling into line with the new GS, which will also be displayed at the show before going on sale in June. Pricing should remain the same, starting at around £45,000.
Details are sparse at the moment, with Lexus keeping its lips sealed until the Geneva premiere, but besides the restyled front end buyers can expect improvements to the cabin, more equipment options, LED lights and new alloy wheels.
The RX was initially launched in 2009 and this will be the first major overhaul it's received, so besides the superficial alterations it's fair to expect improved fuel economy and emissions, too.
A new F Sport model will bring with it further styling enhancements, with a bolder, sportier look. It's also reasonable to expect a slightly more powerful engine for this variant, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

BAMAKO, 22 June 2012 (IRIN) - Strict Sharia, or Islamic religious laws, imposed by the Islamist rebels controlling vast swathes of northern Mali are driving thousands of students out of schools. Dress codes have been imposed, boys and girls are forced to learn separately, and subjects deemed to promote "infidelity" have been struck off the curriculum. Outraged parents are transferring their children and some students are opting to miss examinations rather than learn under these conditions.
We, members of the Senegalese Feminist Forum, would like to express our full support for the Malian people and especially to the women who are woefully underrepresented in these critical moments of the country's political life.
Dakar, le 04 mai 2012
Nous, membres du Forum féministe sénégalais, souhaitons exprimer tout son soutien au peuple malien et en particulier aux femmes qui sont malheureusement très peu représentées en ces moments critiques de la vie politique du pays.

The Personal Status and Family Code of Mali was adopted in 2009 by the National Assembly, but promulgation by the President of Mali has been delayed until now due to the mobilization of Muslim religious organizations opposed to it.

Evangelical United Brethren Church

Part of a series on the |
Evangelical United Brethren |

The Evangelical United Brethren Church (EUB) was an American Protestant church which was formed in 1946 by the merger of the Evangelical Church with the Church of the United Brethren in Christ (not to be confused with the current Church of the United Brethren in Christ (Old Constitution)). The United Brethren and the Evangelical Association had considered merging since the early nineteenth century because of their common emphasis on holiness and evangelism and German heritage.
The Evangelical United Brethren subsequently merged with the Methodist Church in 1968 to form the United Methodist Church.
United Brethren In Christ was an American religious sect which originated in the last part of the 18th century. Though not formally organized until 1800, the roots of the church reach back to 1767. In May of that year, a Great Meeting (part of an interdenominational revival movement) was held at a barn belonging to Isaac Long in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Martin Boehm (1725–1812), a Mennonite preacher, spoke of his becoming a Christian through crying out to God while plowing in the field. Philip William Otterbein (1726–1813), a Reformed pastor at York, Pennsylvania, left his seat, embraced Boehm and said to him, "Wir sind Brüder (we are brethren)". The followers of Boehm and Otterbein formed a loose movement for many years. It spread to include German-speaking churches in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, and Ohio. In 1789 they held a formal conference at Baltimore and in 1800, they began a yearly conference. Thirteen ministers attended the first conference at the home of Peter Kemp in Frederick, Maryland. At that conference in 1800, they adopted a name, the United Brethren in Christ, and elected Boehm and Otterbein as bishops of the conference. The United Brethren Church claims this organization in 1800 as the first denomination to actually begin in the United States. A Confession of Faith was adopted in 1815 (similar to one written by Otterbein in 1789), and it has remained the statement of church doctrine to the present. In 1841, they adopted a Constitution. It has remained mostly intact, being changed only a few times.
The ecclesiastical polity of the Church is Wesleyan and its theology is Arminian: there is no hard-and-fast rule about baptism. Bishops are elected for four years. The first delegated general conference met at Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, in 1815, and adopted a confession of faith, rules of order and a book of discipline, which were revised in 1885–1889, when women were first admitted to ordination.
The United Brethren took a strong stand against slavery, beginning around 1820. After 1837, slave owners were no longer allowed to remain as members of the United Brethren Church. In 1853, the Home, Frontier, and Foreign Missionary Society was organized. Expansion occurred into the western United States, but the church's stance against slavery limited expansion to the south.
By 1889, the United Brethren had grown to over 200,000 members with six bishops. In that same year they experienced a division. Denominational leaders desired to make three changes: to give local conferences proportional representation at the General Conference; to allow laymen to serve as delegates to General Conference; and to allow United Brethren members to hold membership in secret societies such as the Freemasons. The denominational leadership made these changes, but the minority felt the changes violated the constitution because they were not made by the majority vote of all United Brethren members. One of the bishops, Milton Wright (the father of aviation pioneers Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright), disagreed with the actions of the majority. Bishop Wright and other conference delegates left the meeting and resumed the session elsewhere. They believed that the other delegates had violated the Constitution (and, in effect, withdrawn from the denomination), and deemed themselves to be the true United Brethren Church. Therefore the body initially known as the United Brethren in Christ of the Old Constitution, now called the Church of the United Brethren in Christ.
The majority branch had 3,732 organizations in 1906 with a total membership of 274,649. The denomination merged with the Evangelical Church in 1946 to form a new denomination known as the Evangelical United Brethren Church (EUB). This in turn merged in 1968 with The Methodist Church to form the United Methodist Church (UMC).
Missionary and Educational establishments[edit]
This body carried on missions in West Africa (since 1855), Japan, China, the Philippines and Puerto Rico. It had a publishing house (1834) and Bonebrake Theological Seminary (1871) at Dayton, Ohio; and supported Otterbein University (1847) at Westerville, Ohio; Westfield College (1865) at Westfield, Illinois; Leander Clark College (1857) at Toledo, Iowa; York College (1890) at York, Nebraska; Philomath College (1867) at Philomath, Oregon; Lebanon Valley College (1867) at Annville, Pennsylvania; Campbell College (1864) at Holton, Kansas, and Indiana Central College (later Indiana Central University and now the University of Indianapolis) (1907) at Indianapolis, Indiana. In 1946, with cooperation of three other denominations, it formed the United Andean Indian Mission, an agency that sent missionaries to Ecuador.
Outside of the United States[edit]
This article does not cite any references or sources. (January 2013) |
The EUB congregations in Canada joined into the United Church of Canada, the largest Protestant denomination in Canada formed in 1925 by Presbyterians (70% came in), Methodists, and Congregationalists. In the Philippines, the EUB congregations joined the Philippine Methodist Church, Christian Church (Disciples), Presbyterian Church, Congregational Church, Iglesia Evangelica Unida de Cristo, Iglesia Evangelica Nacional and some segments of the Iglesia Evangelica Metodista En Las Islas Filipinas (IEMELIF) to form the United Church of Christ in the Philippines.

Two OS screen their film - Doonby -at Stonyhurst
Two OS brothers, Michael and Daniel Mackenzie (OS98 and OS00) have been involved in the production of a new film, Doonby, which was written and directed by their father, Peter Mackenzie. First shown at the Cannes Film Festival in May, it was shown at Stonyhurst St Mary's Hall on Wednesday 23rd November to a large audience. Mike and Dan introduced the film and took questions from the audience afterwards. (It is rated PG 13.)
The film is described as a "pro-life film with a mainstream approach". Doonby, stars John Schneider from hit 70's TV show The Dukes of Hazzard and (more recently) Smallville; Ernie Hudson from the cult comedy hit The Ghostbusters and Robert Davi, the often-typecast villain from The Goonies and Licence to Kill. Michael was one of Doonby's producers and Daniel was the camera operator, working alongside top cinematographer Peter Field, of Cold Mountain and Troy fame. Doonby is due for release in the US in early 2012 and is likely to follow in the UK soon after.
The film is about Sam Doonby, a mysterious and handsome drifter, who steps off an interstate bus and quickly becomes the talk of a small Texas town. After finding work at Leroy's Country Blues Bar, his musical talents make him a small-town star, attracting the attention of Laura, the beautiful but spoiled daughter of local doctor Cyrus Reaper. Sam seems always to be in the right place at the right time to prevent disasters from happening in the town before he disappears as quickly as he materialised. Soon, everyone realizes that there was more to Sam than they understood, especially Cyrus and his family as the doctor's past comes back to haunt him.
What makes this new low budget movie interesting are not just the stars that agreed to appear but also its overall faith-orientated message hidden in its devastating final twist, which the Mackenzies are keen to keep under wraps!
"The fact of the matter is, small films like this have to do a lot to get noticed in Hollywood, especially as week after week you are competing against some pretty big budgets.," explains producer Michael. "But what my father wrote and directed is something special that brings to the big screen a debate that we hope will send shockwaves across America and beyond".
Michael said: "I was interested in doing a presentation of the film at my old school not only because it's a great story of two OS's getting recognition (albeit tiny!) in the film business, but most importantly, the subject matter of this very important film is perfect for a Catholic school such as Stonyhurst and Daniel and I would be proud to screen it there."
Professor Lord Alton of Liverpool, a Stonyhurst parent and Governor, has already screened the film at the Houses of Parliament where it was well received. He describes Doonby as "a thought-provoking and clever film which raises profoundly important questions. It takes its audience by surprise, challenges them, and leaves them thinking and considering who and what we have lost: a question faced by so many who have ended the lives of an unborn child. Brilliant cinema."

Two of them were fine but one had a very "infected" taste, closer to a red wine than a stout, and the other was kind of in-between. Other than that, the cans are similar enough to the bottle that it's not a big deal. On to the beer itself, I've found that this is one of the best, if not the best, stout you can get for your dollar. Less than $5 for a big bottle and around $8 for a four-pack of large cans. Price notwithstanding, this is a delicious and surprisingly unique beer. Appearance-wise, the slight thickness hints at its 8.8% ABV (which I think is just right for a non-RIS stout), it pours a lovely dark brown that is juuust shy of black, with a slight reddish tint. Beautiful, creamy, light-colored head that doesn't leave lacing so much as it coats the glass with a solid film of bubbles (???) as you swirl it around. Usually I don't care about looks but for some reason this beer's appearance is one of my favorite aspects. One of the best-looking beers I've seen. The nose is nothing incredible but pretty representative of what you're about to taste. Fresh from the can/bottle it's a little sharp but after a few minutes it mellows out and shows a lot of "dark fruit" and some slight coffee. Taste is surprisingly different from the usual coffee/chocolate/"roasty" stouts (not that there's anything wrong with that but they start to blend together a bit). I personally think the term "dark fruits" is a little stupid, but honestly, that's what you get here. Even disregarding the bad one I had that had turned into a weird wine, this is the fruitiest non-fruit stout that I have tried. Sweet, but not to the level of a bourbon barrel stout, with a surprising bit of tanginess in there that reminds me of... well, fruit. I don't know what a dark fruit is, since this doesn't taste like a plum or a raisin, but that's the accepted term and that's what I'm going to use. Whatever it is, it's absolutely delicious and is balanced out by just enough coffee/roasty qualities to keep it from being cloying or weird. Mouth feel is another slight surprise. The carbonation is just enough to give it a slight creaminess, it's a little sticky but not quite "coating", and yet at the same time smooth and drinkable without being watery or thin. This is one of the heaviest beers that I can classify as "dangerously drinkable" along with Backwoods Bastard and Breakfast Stout. It's well worth savoring but at the same time I would have no problem with simply chugging it and cracking another one immediately. Big on taste, but not so big that you'd feel sick from drinking more than one, and honestly perfect for either a night of thoughtful sipping or an all-out drunken bender. Just writing this review is making me think very strongly about going to the local store and buying out their inventory. This is an incredibly versatile and accessible stout. My one complaint, if you can call it that, is that it comes all the way from Sri Lanka (!!!) and is subject to the rigors of importing from the other side of the world, which would seem to be why more than a few bottles/cans are bad. Just look at the disconnect between the negative and positive reviews. And buy this if you see it. EDIT: I bought another pack of cans and confirmed that the previous one was in fact at least partially bad. No trace of wine this time, but still heavy on the "dark fruits" and sweetness, not so much chocolatey as raisiny. And now that I'm not drinking "infected" cans I can detect a bit of roast in the background that brings the whole thing together even more. So robust, deep and flavorful, they could sell this for twice the price and I'd still buy it. Taste score upgraded to 4.75 (GASP!) Honestly I feel like the price--as well as the "infected" batches--are a large part of the reason why some people rate it so low. This is absolutely a world-class beverage.

Creamy mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Well suited for a stout. Overall this is one of my absolute favorite stouts. It has great flavor and wonderful drinkability.

In a geographical area where finding even an 'adequate' beer is problematic, to tumble on a world class stout was a very pleasant shock. I never found this on tap, which I imagine would have been even better, but it ranks second in my experience to a nicely pulled Guinness pint in a pub in Ireland.

Thick. Pours with a magnificent four finger head that takes a long time to dissipate. Great lacing as the head slowly collapses to a small coating of light brown, frothy bubbles. Smell: Smells rich and roasty. Dark, dark bitter chocolate and dark roasted coffee notes seem to jump out through the black thickness. Taste: The dark, bitter chocolate and roasted coffee seems to really come out in the taste. Unfortunately, I'm also getting some metallic notes from the can, forcing the overall rating down lower than what it should be. Really smooth and goes down easy. You can kind of feel the 8.8% on the very very back end, long after a sip, but the high ABV is masked well by the pleasently complex flavor. Mouthfeel: Smooth and creamy. Thick, just like a foreign extra stout should be. Overall: Wow, a great beer, especially when you consider it comes from and island off the coast of India.

A-The brew pours heavily, but produces a tall (two-plus fingers) head of brown head. The head drops steadily into a hummocky cap. The beer is nearly black and opaque. Good looking stuff. S-The smell is all dark, roasty malts. It is chocolatey and sweet up front, with a decent dose of sweet, dark fruit (dates and prunes) on the tail end. Some licorice flavor, as well. T-The taste is more complex than the smell. There is still cocoa, licorice, sweet dark fruit, and just a hint of hop bitterness. The malts really dominate here in all of their dark, sweet, roasted glory. The booze creeps up on you; by the end of the glass, the alcohol is noticeably warm on the palate (in a good way) and more fragrant. M-A little thin, with mild to moderate carbonation. Drinkable for the style and ABV. O-I was not sure what to expect here, but I enjoyed this brew. One of my favorite aspects was that it was devoid of coffee/whiskey/brett/barrel-aged gimmickry, but still managed to produce a pretty full-flavored stout. This is not Parabola, and it isn't trying to be, but I sort of like that.

Don't let this review fool you, it's a significant achievement from a region of the world that doesn't have a history in this style of beer. It was a Sri Lankan student of mine who recommended this to me and almost concurrently, I discovered it on on my own. Great beer from the south pacific.

Smell - Roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, brown sugar/molasses, some minor fruits and a little oaked aroma. Taste - One of the beers I blindly picked in my first ever mix and match craft 6 pack, around 2003, and the one I truly enjoyed. Drank many times, now founded in 22 Oz bottle, and realized I've never reviewed. Taste starts off with roasted malts, some milk stout like chocolate creamy flavor. Coffee and chocolate are noticeable. Some sour/bitter raisin and plum come out after the first flavor of malts. Some smokey, oaked flavors are also present. Nice mix of brown sugar/molasses adds some flavor. Mouthfeel - Malts are the main flavor, along with some coffee and chocolate, they coat the tongue. Some bitter fruits and added sugars cover the palate. The aftertaste is a little sour, chocolate and coffee, and a little sweet. Overall - Just as solid and pleasant to drink as it was years ago. Its for sure not as tasty as some of the stouts offered nowadays but the sentimental value, 4.99$ for a 22ozer, makes it a winner. It is a little thin by todays standards but still its a quality drink, and something ill be enjoying for the rest of my life.

Aroma is mild, smelling of brown sugar and Saaz-like hops. The taste is bolder than the aroma would suggest, with a roasty molasses flavor, raisins, and far more alcohol than would typically manifest on the front end, even for a beer with a rather high ABV such as this. A stickiness lingers on the lips after sipping. The hop presence, while not especially strong, doesn't seem to meld very well with the malt, lending something of a two-faced dynamic to the flavor profile. Even the finish is conflicted, with a rather enjoyable roasted coffee aftertaste being subjugated by an artificial, metallic flavor that I'm more used to encountering in Baltic porters. This could almost pass for a Baltic porter if I didn't know any better. Acetaldehyde is also noticeable. The mouthfeel has fairly nice body and texture and is on par for the style, making it one of this beer's stronger suits. While this stout affords bold flavor and nice body, there is little in the way of synergy holding it together, and the alcohol becomes overbearing as the beer warms, making sipping a near necessity. Not a bad stout, but a bit too all-over-the-place for my tastes. Serving type: can 01-14-2013 02:57:32 | More by MaximalC |

Background The syndrome of childhood blepharokeratoconjunctivitis (BKC) is frequently underestimated. While prevalent and aggressive among Indo-Pakistani/Middle-Eastern populations, we observe a recalcitrant destructive phenotype in white children/adolescents that persists into early adulthood and may require systemic immunosuppression.
Methods A cohort of 10 white patients (20 eyes), median age 15.2 (range 6–27) years were identified among 62 patients with BKC attending a tertiary referral centre. Clinical features were graded and lid/conjunctiva swabs were performed, before instituting a hierarchical therapeutic protocol comprising lid hygiene, topical/systemic antibiotics, intensive topical glucocorticoids and systemic immunosuppression.
Results The median duration of symptoms prior to presentation was 4.3 (range 1.2–16.3) years, with 14 eyes (nine patients) demonstrating 360° peripheral corneal vascularisation associated with encroachment/involvement of the visual axis in 10 eyes (six patients). Corneal perforation(s) occurred in three eyes (two patients). Intensive topical glucocorticoids enabled disease control in 10 eyes (seven patients). In six eyes (three patients), persistent active disease necessitated systemic immunosuppression (azathioprine (2), mycophenolate mofetil (1), prednisolone (1)) achieving disease remission within three months with no adverse events reported.
Conclusions Suboptimal treatment of BKC in white children may permit a progressively destructive sight-threatening phenotype, which may last into adulthood and require immunosuppression. Appropriate aggressive steroid-based and steroid-sparing strategies are vital for disease remission.

Awesome painted-label bottle (great for bottling homebrew) with green, easy to read label. Thanks to Julian at Craftshack for expediting this to me to drink before the enjoy by date. I'm sure it would have been ruined had I not sampled it before the 12/13/13 deadline. A-Yellowish, almost clear brew with a constant 1/8" beige head. Medium carbonation. S- Fantastic hop bouquet. Floral, citrusy, tropical. Malt aroma is there in force too. Like I'm walking behind a combine in a Montana barley field, while Oregon hop growers wave 20 foot bines of freshly harvested hops in my face. Absolutely lucious. T- Follows suit with the nose. Fruity, (peach, apricot,) citrus, (tangerine, and grapefruit) tropical fruits, (mango, pineapple) plus a bit of pine also. A tinge of alcohol heat, but well hidden for a 9% beer. And that malt backbone again, I love when a beer can carry that crushed grain, freshly baked bread taste along with such a powerful hop presence. M- Ever present bitterness, hop oil, resiny, with a wonderful body to highlight all of this together. On many double/imperial IPA's the alcohol snuffs out what would otherwise be a great brew. Not this one. All flavors and bitterness linger quite awhile on the tongue. O- I had high expectations for this one after the reviews I had read. It did not disappoint. This rivals any west coast double IPA, at a great price. Hope this becomes a regular from Stone. Serving type: bottle 12-14-2013 23:43:00 | More by Gambelli |

text: Community outreach activities grow from Holland Hospital's mission to "continually improve the health of the communities we serve" by offering a variety of programs that promote a healthy lifestyle. The focus of many Outreach activities is on enhancing childhood well-being and cardiovascular health through programs at work sites, schools, churches and in the community. We are fortunate to live in a region where good health is a high priority. We remain committed to addressing the health needs within the communities we serve. Programs and services include: The Center for Good Health A comprehensive program of classes, seminars, support groups and wellness programs to help community members take control of their health. All activities are open to the public. For more information on programs or call (616) 394-3344. Faith Community Nurse The Faith Community Nurse can be the only access to health care for one of our most vulnerable populations: homeless women and children living at The Mission. Last year she recorded nearly 1,400 visits. She provides health services (illness, injury assessments and interventions), health education, health counseling with appropriate referrals, and promotes a healthy environment through heatlhy lifestyles and wellness education. Using the hospital's physician network, she also makes referrals to doctors, assists in obtaining free medications and screens for TB. In addition, the Faith Community Nurse is trained in spiritual counseling. This added aspect of her work enables her to work effectively with people who are not only suffering physically, but are also living under great stress and trauma, often as a result of abuse. CHEER Heart Failure Program CHEER is an award winning education and support program led by nurses to help you live with heart failure. The program is managed by RNs who specialize in heart failure. They work closely with patients and their doctor to monitor their condition and help them make necessary lifestyle changes so they'll feet better and stay out of the hospital. Services include; nurse visits via phone or in person, education on heart failure self-management and a support group with others who have heart failure. School Nursing Registered nurses and health aides take day-to-day health care services to area schools to promote health and wellness, prevent diseases and injury, assist children who are in need or at risk, and provide in-school case management for those who have health care needs such as diabetes and asthma. The goal of the program is to give children the tools they need to develop healthy lifestyle habits and enhance their learning. Holland Hospital currently funds this program in schools in the Holland West Ottawa public school districts. School nurses are invaluable in the school setting to monitor children with chronic conditions, assess a child's acute condition and advocate for the safety of all students. They make physician referrals and partner with school staff to provide education on nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices. For more information on School Nursing, call (616) 394-3486. Holland Community Health Center Demand for services is rising dramatically. With over 12,000 visits each year, The Community Health Center serves more than 4900 patients providing health care services to those in need. The center treats anyone regardless of language, cultural barriers or ability to pay.the .The Center serves a diverse population: 42% are children, 40% are White, 40% are Latino, about 49% of the patients have Medicaid or Medicare, 23% have insurance and 28% pay for services, full or in part, themselves. The services most frequently provided are immunizations for children, well-child, preventative check-ups and diabetes care. Community Health Needs Assessment The federal government now requires that non-profit hospitals conduct a community health assessment. These census-like studies help health care providers build stronger relationships with their communities, identify needs and dedicate funding and other resources toward programs that clearly benefit local residents. The outcome of this multi-organizational study is available for reading in the download links.

Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson
