Diaconal ordination of Fr Nicola Tovagliari, LC, in the parish church of Gorla Minore in the province of Varese, Italy.
July 20, 2008. By making their lives a gift to
God, two sons of Ireland and Italy have also become
a gift to their homeland.On July 4, Deacon
Darren Brennan, LC, an Irishman, was ordained to the diaconate
in Dublin. Two days later, on July 6, Deacon Nicola
Tovagliari, LC, was ordained in his hometown in Gorla Minore,
in the Italian province of Varese. Both men
are a sign of hope for their native country.During the homily at Our Lady of Perpetual Help parish,
Archbishop Diarmuid commented on the special grace of receiving a
new Irish deacon in a year when the Church in
Ireland is celebrating its Year of Vocation. After the Mass,
His Excellency also expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to
preside over the ordination, and assured them of his support
and prayers.Deacon Darren commented, "The moment of the
litany of the saints was especially important for me, because
I was deeply aware of my own poverty on the
one hand, and of the greatness of God on the
other. He gives to us with full hands, while man
often gives very little." The ordination in Gorla
Minore was held in St Lorenzo parish, and was presided
over by Bishop Luigi Stucchi, auxiliary bishop for the archdiocese
of Milan. In his homily, Bishop Stucchi spoke of the
meaning of the diaconate as a call to service and
encouraged Deacon Nicola to live out his ministry in fidelity
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin before laying hands on Darren Brennan, LC.
to the Church and with a spirit of service to
souls.After the ceremony, the new Italian deacon thanked
everyone present for their prayers, expressing his gratitude for the
grace of his ordination. The two new deacons
are now preparing for their upcoming priestly ordination on December
20 in the Roman basilica of St Paul Outside the
Walls. All are welcome to attend.

Video: Scott Piercy's 228-Yard Eagle Hole-Out
I'm not sure what's most shocking about Scotty Piercy holing out a 228-yard eagle approach shot on the par-4 5th hole during his WGC Accenture match against Luke Donald.
That a PGA Tour player had that distance into a par-4 or that Dove Mountain has a par-4 measuing 536 yards. I know, I know, altitude.
Either way, a pretty nifty shot:

LLOYDS was shamed yesterday as staff turned on the bailed-out bank over
sales targets slapped on branches across Britain.
Days after chief exec Antonio Horta Osorio called on banks to change their
ways, his employees let rip (see below) over the culture in the
Branch staff urged The Sun to reveal they face the SACK unless they
achieve a set number of referrals or sales leads every 12 weeks.
They have to collect a combination of points across 12 sales categories
ranging from mortgages to credit cards or funds into accounts.
One worker told us she had quit through stress, while another at Lloyds'
sister chain HALIFAX fears she won't have a job next month.
A manager said: "I've been here 25 years and the pressure now is horrendous."
The revelations follow the launch last Saturday of our Great British Bank Tidy
campaign to out grasping bankers. The Sun has linked up with the Financial
Services Authority to blow the whistle on bankers misleading customers — or
bullying staff into selling at all costs.
A Lloyds manager told The Sun yesterday: "I'm just calling to say thank you
from the staff. There's a sense of relief that someone now knows the
pressure we are under."
Another said: "My area manager has been told to explain last week's
performance and why bonus earnings have dropped.
"This is the normal way of life — relentless bullying."
One employee claimed Lloyds had tried to GAG staff last week, reminding
them not to speak to the Press.
Lloyds — 42 per cent owned by the taxpayer — last night insisted it did not
tolerate "any form of workplace" bullying and urged staff to report it to
their HR manager.
A spokesman said the bank wanted to reward staff for high quality customer
service. He added the incentive schemes are reviewed regularly to "ensure
they meet the needs of both our colleagues and customers".
Lloyds employee: I had to quit … it was pure hell
"I'D worked for Lloyds for nearly 23 years — and the last few years were pure
hell. The pressure staff are put under is absolutely diabolical. You are set
quarterly targets and if you don't reach them you are put on personal
improvement plans.
"I stayed after work to call customers, I worked every lunch hour — there
was nothing more I could do. I felt I had no choice but to hand my notice
in. "
"I'M just calling The Sun to say thank you from the staff. There's a sense of
relief that someone now knows the pressure we are under. It is horrendous.
"I used to love the job as we helped people out. Now we're just asked to
sell to them at every opportunity.
"Would they like this? Would they like that?
"People have no idea — they simply have no idea what it's like."
"BANKING advisers and business managers are often reduced to tears by the
demands of people in charge in my area. And staff don't believe HR will help
if you contact them.
When the bonus potential is so big in the business for our local directors and
above, you can see why they keep on at us about sales. Here's hoping we
start putting customers back at the heart of what we do!"
"IT was a weight off my shoulders to read The Sun's article on Saturday. I
feel I'm really good at my job, but if we don't hit certain targets we face
the sack.
"When someone walks through the door and asks for a mortgage we're so
happy — it's like, 'Oh my gosh, a walk-in!'.
"How can we sell as many mortgages as they want or sell income protection
when no one has any money?"
It's Prime time in the rag trade
PRIMARK has retaken top spot as Britain's biggest clothing chain after
"powering" its way through the summer.
Parent company AB FOODS yesterday said sales at the home of "cheap
chic" in the year to September 15 will be up 17 per cent on the previous 12
Stripping out new stores, the increase is 3 per cent — still one of the best
growth rates on the high street.
AB Foods finance chief John Bason said it was enough for Primark to become the
biggest clothing chain — by volume sold rather than money taken at the till.
He told Sun City: "UK consumers are ever more careful with the money they have
in their pockets and Primark's value is shining through."
Primark has generated almost £3.6billion of sales in the past year — nearly
ten times the £354million from 2002.
MARKS & SPENCER generates £4.2billion from sales of "non-food".
Bosses in £173m joy
THE top 72 bosses at mining giant XSTRATA could share £173million — for
staying in their jobs.
Rival GLENCORE yesterday revealed the terms of its higher £23billion
bid for the business. And it confirmed that controversial retention payments
for top Xstrata managers were still part of the offer.
Xstrata has until September 24 to accept the offer. Glencore has asked Xstrata
to sound out shareholders to see if they will stomach the retention payouts.
Activist investor KNIGHT VINKE called for Glencore to pay an
"appropriate premium" — and raise its bid again.
Ashley is JJB 'fave'
NEWCASTLE UNITED owner Mike Ashley has emerged as a shock front-runner
in the race for JJB SPORTS.
Sources last night said Mr Ashley's SPORTS DIRECT was through to
the second round of bidders looking to buy all or part of JJB. Private
equity group BETTER CAPITAL confirmed it had pulled out.
JJB went up for sale last month after running out of cash to fund its
turnaround plan. Experts claim it's almost certain to go into administration
before a "saviour" cherry-picks the most profitable stores.
Competition authorities are expected to probe any purchase by Sports Direct.
– OIL giant BP raised £3.5BILLION yesterday by selling
deep-water fields in the Gulf of Mexico to PLAINS EXPLORATION. It
excludes BP's Macondo well — the site of the biggest spill in US history in
– MITCHELLS & BUTLERS has finally found a new chief exec after
poaching Alistair Darby, chief operating officer at rival pub chain MARSTON'S.

Myrtle F. Johnson, 93, of Cambridge passed away Wednesday, October 10, 2012 at GracePointe Crossing Gables East.
She was born Dec. 7, 1918 in Stark, Minn. to Frank and Bertha (Noyde) Peterson. Myrtle spent her early years in Stark and attended country school. The family would move to Cambridge and she went on to graduate from Cambridge High School.
She was united in marriage to Maynard Johnson in Blair, Neb. They had one son Robert, making their home near Isanti for several years before moving to Cambridge.
Myrtle worked many years in different grocery stores including Fairway Grocery in Cambridge, Orley's Grocery in Isanti, and Cambridge Super Valu. After Myrtle and Maynard retired, they moved to Tucson, Arizona in August 1976, and Maynard died unexpectedly in December of that year. Myrtle remained in Arizona for nine years before returning to Cambridge. She lived for one year at her condominium on Dellwood before moving to Ashland Place in 1986. The past three years she was a resident at GracePointe Crossing Gables East.
Myrtle enjoyed playing cards, doing puzzle books, reading, going to the casinos, and took trips to Las Vegas when she lived in Tucson. She also traveled with friends in the Good Sam's RV Club.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Maynard, sisters Evelyn Erickson, Mildred Peterson and brother Roy Peterson. Myrtle is survived by her son Robert and wife Paulette Johnson of Cambridge, four grandchildren Brenda (Gary) Lillion, Brian (Suzanne) Johnson, Brad (Shawn) Johnson all of Cambridge, Bridget (Wade) Isaacson of Monticello, seven great grandchildren Joe Lillion, Megan Lillion, Jordan Stromberg, Josh Johnson, Leah Johnson, Nathan and Ben Isaacson, two great great grandsons Leon and Landry Stromberg, sister Violet and husband Marvin Hancock of Cambridge, as well as nieces, nephews other relatives and friends.
A Memorial Service was held Saturday, October 13, 2012 at the Carlson-Lillemoen Funeral Home in Cambridge with Rev. David Everett officiating.

Interment was in Athens Lutheran Cemetery. Arrangements were with the Carlson-Lillemoen Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Cambridge.

It was the first time in over a year that we've owned Boo that I've seen Boo actually play with another dog. She tolerates most other dogs just fine when she meets them out and about and she's okay when the beagle escapes and jumps into our yard (a common occurrence ) , but I've never seen her actually play with any of them. I did the other day. It was hilarious. The beagle didn't know what to make of the black fluffy bullet running in laps around him. Sorry the pics aren't of the best quality.

'Forest Flyer' coming to Beaver Creek soon?
May 17, 2013
BEAVER CREEK — Vail Resorts seems ready to head ever-so-slightly west with some of the summer fun planned for Vail Mountain.
The resort company has plans for a "Forest Flyer," a kind of gravity-powered mountain coaster, at Beaver Creek. In addition, the company plans to build a "ropes challenge course" and a summer tubing hill. All those improvements will be built at the top of the Buckaroo Gondola, which in the winter is the resort's headquarters for kids and families.
The plans have some Beaver Creek property owners concerned that the resort company will intrude on the peace and quiet they enjoy in the summer. That worry first surfaced in 2006, when Vail Resorts proposed an "alpine slide" for private land in the Haymeadow area, private property just uphill from Beaver Creek Village.
That plan — which was eventually shelved — pitted property owners against the resort company and led to vows of legal action against Vail Resorts. At the time, litigation was seen by property owners as their only recourse in an attempt to stop the slide.
Since the Haymeadow area is on private land, it is subject to review by Eagle County, not the U.S. Forest Service. At the time the slide was proposed, county officials determined that the slide was a "use by right," which required the county only to approve a building permit — with approval based on the project meeting county building standards.
Bob Narracci, head of the Eagle County Community Development Department, said that's the case with the current plan. That means Vail Resorts needs only to apply for building permits and needs no other approvals.

But there seem to be a couple of key differences between this plan and the 2006 plan.
First, company officials are adamant that a "Forest Flyer" is different than an "alpine slide."
And Don Dressler, who handles winter recreation in the area for the White River National Forest, said there is a significant difference. Whereas an alpine slide runs in a concrete channel built along the ground, a "forest flyer" is built on an above-ground steel frame, which is purportedly more quiet.
The other difference between the 2006 plan and the current one is location.
Beaver Creek spokeswoman Jen Brown said these forest improvements will be built higher up the hill, roughly between Beaver Creek Stables and Allie's Cabin.
"We're putting additional activities in an area where we already have activities in the winter," Brown said. And, Brown said, Beaver Creek Stables already operates in the summers in the area planned for the new attractions.
"It's up above and in the trees," Brown said.
The Beaver Creek Design Review Board is meeting today at 1:30 p.m. at the Seasons building in Avon, and the summer plans are on the agenda. But, Brown said, that group will only look at landscaping plans and has no power to take any other action on the topic.

Dr. Carson, Professor of History at Grove City College, Pennsylvania, will be remembered for his earlier FREEMAN series, The Fateful Turn, The American Tradition, and The Flight from Reality.
In July of 1945 an election was held throughout the United Kingdom. The war was over in Europe, but fighting still continued in the Pacific. Despite the fact that a National Government, headed by the Conservative, Winston Churchill, had been successful in prosecuting the war, the decision was made to have a partisan election. To the consternation of almost everyone, the Labour Party won overwhelmingly, returning 393 members to the House of Commons to 189 for the Conservatives and 58 for all other parties. For the first time in history the Labour Party came to power with a clear-cut majority. Twice before, the party had formed ministries, but each time they had ruled with Liberal support. This time they had as clear a mandate to govern according to their ideas as they were likely to get. Socialism had come to power. In its election manifesto for 1945, the Labour Party proclaimed that it was "a socialist party and proud of it."¹
In several respects, the times had been propitious for the socialists to make their move. Clement Attlee, the Labour Party leader, must have realized this, for he had pressed for an early dissolution of the government and a new election.
The times were right, in the first place, because the English people had become accustomed to collective efforts during the war. They were acclimated to vast undertakings by government — to large-scale evacuations, to massive mobilizations of armed forces and their deployment around the world, to collective responses to air raids and the attendant blackouts, to concentration on war production, and so forth. One writer says, "All this produced a revolution in British economic life, until in the end direction and control turned Great Britain into a country more fully socialist than anything achieved by the conscious planners of Soviet Russia."2 At any rate, they were psychologically prepared for the continuation of such undertakings in peacetime.
Moreover, during the war the government had either taken or promised measures moving in the direction of socialism. The most famous of the tacit promises was the one contained in the Beveridge Report, made public in 1942. It was comprehensive in what it called for:
… It covered all the known causes of the "giant" Want, by providing for unemployment benefit, sickness benefit, disability benefit, workmen's compensation, old age, widows' and orphans' pensions and benefits, funeral grants, and maternity benefits. In addition to these financial provisions, the Report was also based on the assumption that a comprehensive health and rehabilitation service was to be established, its full resources available to all….3
"Its popular appeal was immense, 250,000 copies of the full report and 350,000 of an official abridgment being sold within a few months…."4 The thrust toward socialism during the war was, to a considerable extent, bipartisan. The Beveridge Report was authorized by the government, which was predominantly Conservative. Moreover, Anthony Eden, speaking for the Conservative Party, had this to say in the House of Commons, December 2, 1944:
We have set our hands to a great social reform programme… and even though there be an interruption it is the intention of each one of us who are members of the Government to carry that programme through. I have no doubt that… if a Labour Government were returned, that Government would put through what was outstanding in this programme. And I can say, on behalf of the Prime Minister, that we, as members of the Conservative Party, would give them support in putting through that programme….5
Both major parties, then, had done their part to prepare the people for great changes after the war.
The times were right, too, because the long-term trend toward greater and greater government intervention and control was well established. Since the early twentieth century, the government had become more and more involved in the economy: by minimum wages, by the dole, by "insurance programs," by heavy taxation, by monetary manipulation, by ownership of certain undertakings, by control and regulation. The minds of the people were set toward intervention: by the activities of the Fabians, by the Left Book Club, by the very popular Keynesian economics, and by the tendency of most of the literary cadre to write favorably toward it. Few in positions of leadership or authority were apparently able to think in other than socialistic terms. Conservatives sometimes held back against more radical measures, but they were hardly inclined to oppose the general trend.
One other condition made it relatively easy for the socialists at the end of the war: wartime controls were still in effect, and could be continued with less resistance than if they were introduced for the first time.
On the other hand, whichever party came to power after the war could expect some rough going. This was especially true for the Labour Party, for socialists tend to take on responsibility for all economic effort, or at any rate to claim credit for any achievements. To take on the British economy — or lack of one — at the end of the war was not an enviable task. There had been considerable physical damage in Great Britain during the war. An estimated £1,500,000,000 damage had been done to factories, railways, and docks. Some 4,000,000 houses had been either destroyed or damaged.6 Eighteen million tons of shipping were lost, and only two-thirds of this replaced in the course of the war.7 According to one writer, "A large part of her industrial equipment was desperately in need of replacement, for instead of spending, as she would normally have done over five years, £ 1,000,000, 000 to maintain and renew plants and factories in the civilian industries, she had spent this money on munitions of war."8
Foreign Trade Problems
The most serious difficulty confronting the British at the end of the war was in the realm of foreign trade. They had come to depend on imports for much that they consumed. "Nearly three-quarters of all the food she ate came from abroad, 55 per cent of her meat, 75 per cent of her wheat, 85 per cent of her butter, all of her tea, cocoa, and coffee, three-quarters of her sugar. Every year more than 20,000,000 tons of imported food had to be brought across the seas and unloaded at her docks."9
What made this situation pressing was that the British had long since ceased to balance these imports with goods exported. The difference was increasingly made up in recent decades by income from foreign investments, services such as shipping and insurance, and payments in gold. At the end of the war, Britain was deeply in debt abroad, most of the gold supply depleted, much of foreign investments sold to defray the expenses of the war. Moreover, Britain had for the two decades preceding the war been losing out to competitors in those things for export where she had traditionally dominated. (This situation was not simply a consequence of the war, however, or even particularly such a consequence. On the contrary, in the years between World War I and World War II, the government pursued policies which made it increasingly difficult for British industry to hold its own.) In addition, the British as victors in the war had heavy military obligations. They undertook to occupy a zone in dismembered Germany. They had heavy commitments in other parts of the world also, and were very soon confronted with volatile situations in areas to which their hegemony had long extended.
Even so, the leadership of the Labour Party plunged into socialization with a will, even with apparent alacrity. For more than a decade they had been committed to such a course if and when they came to power. And there was no counterbalancing power now to hinder them in their surge. A working majority of the House of Commons was all they needed. The Conservative Party was supine. The House of Lords was powerless to do more than delay or make helpful amendments. The monarchy was reduced to a symbolic role in affairs. Indeed, it was the King who announced to Parliament the course it was to pursue. He said, in part: "My Government will take up with energy the tasks of reconverting industry from the purposes of war to those of peace, of expanding our export trade and of securing by suitable control or by an extension of public ownership that our industries and services shall make their maximum contribution to the national well."¹º Such power as there was be in the United Kingdom rested in the hands of a socialist ministry.
There were three main facets to the domestic socialization program in England: (1) the completion of the welfare state, (2) the nationalization of certain key industries, and (3) control over those portions of the economy which remained technically in private hands.
Completion of the Welfare State
The welfare aspect of socialization has probably received more attention generally than any other, though it is not clear that socialists would consider it most important. In any case, a full-fledged welfare state was established by several acts shortly after Labour came to power. Indeed, one act was passed in 1944 which should be mentioned. It was the Education Act. This act raised the school-leaving age to fifteen, provided "free" secondary education for all children, and set up a system of separating at the age of eleven those pupils to go to preparatory schools and those to attend terminal schools.11
The two most dramatic welfarist acts, however, were passed in 1946 under the Labourites: National Insurance Act and National Health Service Act. The National Insurance Act provided protection against various vicissitudes to that large portion of the public which had not been so protected as yet. It covered "every person who on or after the appointed day, being over school-leaving age and under pensionable age, is in Great Britain and fulfills such conditions as may be prescribed as to residence in Great Britain…."¹² These would then be eligible for unemployment benefits, sickness benefits, maternity benefits, and so on and on. The expenses were to be defrayed by employer, employee, and taxpayer (government) "contributions." The National Health Service Act was much more controversial. Many physicians opposed it. Even so, it was passed, and eventually went into effect in 1948. The act provided for free medical and dental services for everyone, and for those who provided the services to be paid by the government. It was intended as a comprehensive plan for looking after the health of those living in England and Wales.
Welfarist in nature also was the massive house building program undertaken under Aneurin Bevan, Labourite Minister of Health. The program tended toward nationalization of housing also, for it encouraged the building of rental housing and discouraged building for private ownership. It "was decided that the major part of the permanent building programme should be carried out through the local authorities, who would employ builders under contract to build houses to rent and who would be given financial aid by the Government in order that… the houses when constructed could be let on the basis of need at fairly low standard rents." To discourage private building, "builders were to be allowed to build for sale or under contract to private purchasers only to a restricted degree and only after a license had been secured from the local authority."¹³
Nationalization of Industry
Nationalization was undertaken with considerable vigor. The broad categories of industries nationalized were banking, power and light, transport, and iron and steel. The first nationalization was authorized by the Bank of England Act passed in 1946; the last major one was authorized by the Iron and Steel Act of 1949. A fairly typical nationalization measure was the Coal Industry Nationalization Act passed in 1946 to go into effect January 1, 1947. "The act provided for a National Coal Board appointed by the minister of fuel and power and consisting of nine representatives of various functions within the industry (such as finance, technology, labor, marketing), who were to operate all coal mines subject to the general supervision of the ministry. The public corporation replaced more than eight hundred private companies, which surrendered their assets for a compensation…."14 The way had been prepared for further consolidation and eventual nationalization of most of these industries by the cartelization that had taken place in the 1930′s by government sponsorship. It was not simply a matter of chance that these particular industries were selected for nationalization. Socialists may not know how to plan an economy to achieve their ends. The record would indicate that they do not. And British socialists had, in effect, organized irresponsibility on a large scale in these industries, for they had placed them under the control of boards whose members had much authority but few responsibilities — responsibilities to stockholders, responsibilities to operate efficiently, even responsibilities to Parliament. Even so, British socialists demonstrated that they knew where the main arteries of a modern economy are. They meant to bring these directly into the hands of government agencies, and did.
Before spelling out the import of nationalization and indicating the extent of much more extensive controls, it will be helpful to review briefly the vision which the socialists had in mind. One of the men who participated in the early stages of this broad effort described it as a test and an experiment. He said, in part:
Here at last a practical test of two vast and so far unproven assumptions is taking place. The first is that a planned socialist system is economically more efficient than a private-enterprise capitalist system; the second is that within democratic socialist planning the individual can be given broader social justice, greater security, and more complete freedom than under capitalism.15
To make this test, planning has to reach through to every ligament of an economy. The above writer's description suggests the extent of such planning:
The central planning organization, for example, is required to estimate the total number of men and women available for employment, the amount of essential raw materials such as coal, steel, and timber likely to be available from all sources, the total national production of goods possible in the current situation, and how this productive effort should be divided between home consumption, exports, and capital investment.
Having made this analysis, the Planning Board assesses industrial priorities in the light of it; decides what proportion of the total working population is needed for national security in the defence services, what proportion in the public and administrative services, how many in trade, industry and agriculture in order to reach the production targets set, and what general division of manpower there ought to be between export and home production, and between the productive and distributive trades. A similar assessment of the correct distribution of basic raw materials between various types of users is also required….16
In short, the determination of what was to be done in the economic realm was to be taken out of the market and made by government officials. To accomplish this — if it could be done — it would be necessary to have full control of key industries. The key industries of a modern economy are, undoubtedly, banking, power and light, transport, and iron and steel. No modern enterprise can operate effectively without the use of one or more, and usually all, of these goods and services. Power is essential; capital is required (not necessarily borrowed money, but money, and central monetary authorities can either maintain the money supply or destroy it); transport must be had; and equipment and housing made in some part of iron and steel are practical necessities. The government which, in effect, possesses these essential goods and services can dictate to virtually all other undertakings.
Other Controls and Regulations
Of course, British socialists did not content themselves with nationalization. Additionally, a vast network of controls, subsidies, priorities, prescriptions, proscriptions, and regulations were extended over the remainder of industry and agriculture. It will have to suffice here to call attention to some of these.
One of the most dramatic examples of compulsion can be examined in the regulation of the location of industry. The compulsion was provided for by a Distribution of Industry Act, the Town and Country Planning Act, and procedures adopted by the Board of Trade. The main impetus was to have new industries located in areas where labor was most abundantly available — to move factories to the workers. The Distribution of Industry Act aided by making loans, by giving financial assistance to companies that would open factories in desired areas, and by the use of tax monies to build factories for lease. This, in itself, was largely an effort by the government to influence the location of industry. But stronger weapons were at hand. In order to build a new factory, it was necessary to get a license from the Board of Trade. The Board of Trade could, in effect, veto a plan to build a factory anywhere. This was bolstered by the powers exercised under the Town and Country Planning Act: not only were new towns planned but also building activity was directed.17
Economic activity of every sort was minutely regulated. Wanted "production was encouraged; luxury production was limited. Licenses were required to export raw materials and any manufactured articles… needed at home. Domestic consumption was regulated by rationing, subsidies and price controls…. New industrial enterprises seeking capital had to be approved by a government committee…." There was much more, of course: "paper control was directed by the manager of a large paper manufacturing concern; matches were controlled by an official of the largest manufacturer…." Moreover, "Treasury budgets were drafted with a view to controlling investment…. For foreign travel, limitations, changed from time to time, were placed on the amount of cash which could be taken from the United Kingdom."¹8 The bureaucrats made ubiquitous attempts to control everything.
As for agriculture, it was decided not to nationalize the land but to regulate and control activity in this area. The Ministry of Food was authorized to buy agricultural produce and became, in effect, the sole market in which farmers were to sell. As the only buyer and seller, it proceeded to set prices to the farmers, on the one hand, and to the consumers, on the other. In general, the Ministry paid high prices for products wanted and sold them at a loss, the aim being not profit but to encourage the kind of production and consumption wanted. Agriculture was controlled "by a range of other measures, such as the giving of acreage grants for particular crops, financial aid for improvements, loans to agricultural workers to become farmers on their own account, and the establishing of pools of labour and machinery upon which individual farmers can call during sowing and harvesting seasons. There is also power to give directions to farmers to plough up land and grow particular crops."19
Finally, a large portion of the income of Englishmen was "nationalized" by way of taxation. Taxes were excruciatingly high under the Labour government. An economic historian indicates that the government took 37.7 per cent of the value of the gross national product from the people in 1946.20 The income tax was confiscatory. "Here is a story which shows it: a big American business which had decided to pay the head of its English subsidiary a salary of 20,000 dollars ( £5,000) was informed that, owing to the Income Tax, the recipient would in fact touch half only. Not to be put off, the American business asked how much it would need to pay its servant to ensure him £5,000 net. The answer came back — £50,000, the figure which will, after taxation, leave £5,093 10s. 0 d."²¹
Dependent and Stifled
Two things should be immediately apparent. The first is that socialism had made the English people dependent upon government. They were made dependent for food, for markets, for education, for health services, for licenses, for loans, for subsidies, for jobs (it became necessary to belong to a labor union to work in unionized employments), for maternity benefits, for funeral subsidies, for unemployment benefits, for disability payments, for building permits, for the amount that could be taken abroad, for priorities for buying, for authorizations to sell, for houses in which to live (in the case of numerous renters), for broadcasting facilities, and so on. Such dependence has not customarily been known as freedom; the generic term for it is bondage.
Secondly, British economic activity was strait-jacketed by government ownership, control, and regulation. Such overall bureaucratic direction greatly reduced the number of minds to cope with economic tasks and the number of ways that may be used to deal with them. When enterprise is free, when men receive the rewards of their labor, every man may use his initiative, ingenuity, and energy to grapple with the economic problem of scarcity. But under state dictation men are not permitted to exert their energies as they see best. If they perform at all, they are to perform as they are directed, with whatever will they can muster for the effort. Under socialism, the English people were told what to produce, where to produce it, where to sell it, where they could buy, and when if at all to undertake it. Bureaucrats were free to plan; the people were free to obey.
The economic situation of England was precarious enough in 1945, as has been pointed out. The English people had a big job ahead of them to recover from the effects of the war and to regain their position in the world. It was task enough to challenge the initiative, ingenuity, and energy of the whole people. Unfortunately, they decided to strait-jacket a large portion of the population and to depend upon bureaucrats. It was as if a drowning man should encumber himself with balls and chains fastened to one arm and both legs, leaving himself only one arm with which to swim. In such circumstances, England's fall was precipitate.
The next article of this series will describe "The Fall of England."

With Mike Catt giving England coaching directives while on the pitch during Six Nations matches last season, and Neil Jenkins doing the same for Leigh Halfpenny during the Lions tour, there are signs this season that match-coaching is becoming increasingly widespread.
On Friday night Geordan Murphy, the Leicester backs coach, was on the pitch giving tactical direction during the Tigers 22-16 Heineken Cup defeat by Ulster at Ravenhill – as was his Ulster counterpart, Neil Doak.
On any Premiership weekend the same applies, with the assistant coaches in virtually every team in the league going on the pitch to coach. They are either making tactical tweaks themselves or passing on messages from the directors of rugby, and their analysts, surveying the action from the stands.
Ludicrously, they are also masquerading as water carriers.
For those of you wondering just when coaches were given the green light to go on the pitch, it began in 2011.
According to an IRB spokesman it is the result of 'a protocol' issued by the world governing body at that time, effectively overturning a principle of coaches being able to address tactical issues only at half-time.
In other words, it is a non-compulsory guideline framed by the IRB's technical services department which has been ushered in through the back door.
There has been no open debate about its merits, it has simply materialised because it was considered to be a good idea by a group of IRB staffers.
My view is that allowing direct coaching and tactical intervention during matches is contrary to the idea of rugby union being primarily a player's game. Not only that, it is contrary to existing laws framed by the IRB.
The main point of the game is that it is a contest where players pit their skills, their athletic prowess, and, mostimportant of all, their wits and ability to read the game and react, against each other.
That is why, for example, Law 4.4 (j) specifically prohibits, "communication devices within a player's clothing or attached to the body".
This regulation came into the spotlight after the 2003 World Cup when there was speculation – all of it unproven – that some Australian backs had communications devices sewn into their protective headgear.
This begs an important question: How can players be prohibited from communicating with coaches through listening devices while they are on the pitch, when one of those coaches can now run onto the pitch with a bottle of water at any break in play and give them the same information?
It is nonsense. However, perhaps we shouldn't expect common sense from the IRB, a governing body that failed for over a decade to uphold straightforward Laws in plain English – in particular their own regulation at the scrum that "the scrum-half must throw in the ball straight along the middle line".
It would be better for the game if coaches worked on their tactical plans and deployments during training in the week before a match, and that their input on match days was confined to pre-match, half-time and post-match team talks.
As we have seen over the last decade, tinkering with the laws is a dangerous business which, almost invariably, has unforeseen consequences – and, in turn, promotes further unnecessary tinkering.
The arrival of water-carrier coaches is already having an effect with players feigning injury – particularly before scrums – so that their tacticians can come onto the pitch and tell them how, when, and where to attack the opposition.
What protocol will be introduced by the IRB to tackle an increase in tactical injuries? Continuous unnecessary stoppages disrupt the flow of the game, and are disliked by spectators – whether in stadiums or watching from their armchairs – far more than reset five metre scrums, which in close contests often build dramatic tension.
The IRB's current 'Technical Zone' protocol allows for two water carriers per team – who can both be assistant coaches, but not the head coach – and two medically trained personnel.
My suggestion is that the IRB should think again and red-card water carrier coaches for good – unless, of course, they are following the American Football principle of having a stoppage before every 'play'.
In addition, ensure that the two medical personnel are not permitted to be wired up to anyone other than an independent medical co-ordinator on the touchline.
That way we will see a contest between players – not a circus in which the only people allowed any initiative are the controllers in the coaching booths sending their water-carrier emissaries to do their bidding on the pitch.

The author of the radical anti-choice bill in Texas, State Rep. Jodie Laubenberg (R), claims to be a protectorate of the unborn, however, she's also a very confused woman. Laudenberg said recently that rape kits can 'clean can clean a woman out' while comparing them to abortions. In 2007, Laudenberg disregarded health care for an expectant mother saying, "But they're not born yet."
The Huffington Post reports:
But back in 2007, she made the case against treating the unborn as people — at least, when it comes to qualifying for health care services.
During a House debate on an appropriations bill that year, Laubenberg, a staunch conservative, put forward an amendment that would require expectant mothers to wait three months before they could begin receiving prenatal and perinatal care under the Children's Health Insurance Program, or CHIP, a program that helps cover uninsured children in low-income families.
Laubenberg's amendment drew criticism from Democratic Rep. Rafael Anchia, who said the change would mean that more than 95,000 children, in utero, would be kicked out of the CHIP program. As the two sparred over whether that was true — Anchia cited CHIP data from hospitals, Laubenberg alleged it was "misinformation" — Anchia asked if Laubenberg recognized those in-utero babies as people.
"You do know, don't you, that these are U.S. citizens?" Anchia asked.
"But they're not born yet," Laubenberg said.
Her remark confirms what most of us are aware of. The fetus is protected by Republicans until after they're born then all bets are off.
Anchia said to her, "That's the whole point, see? You have an anti-life amendment."
Laubenberg responded saying that "no one is more pro-life" in the House than her, and Anchia's data was wrong.
Laudenberg appeared rattled and said, "I will be back,. But right now, out of consideration for the body, I will pull this amendment down."

DENVER -- What do you buy at the grocery store? Generic or name brand? We took a look the difference in price, taste and nutrition by putting several family favorite foods to the test.
We asked 14 local moms and kids to participate in a taste test.
The group sampled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, apple sauce, cheese and crackers, and ice cream. They tasted a brand name of each, and the generic equivalent from Safeway, King Soopers and Walmart.
They had to rank each item saying which products they liked the best. "I didn't notice a big difference in some products at all," said Melanie Shepherd, a local mom. But others disagreed. "Some of the generics were really dry," said 12-year-old Jake Meyer of Aurora.
When we tallied the votes the brand name product was the favorite in three out of five categories including the macaroni and cheese, the cheese and crackers and the ice cream. But the results were very close.
Plus, the group chose the Safeway brand apple sauce as their favorite, and the King Soopers/Kroger generic as their favorite for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
When it came to price, we found a big difference. Adding up the cost of our entire grocery list, the brand names cost us $29.75. Generics at King Soopers cost $22.22. Generics at Safeway cost $21.51, and generics at Walmart cost $18.13. That's almost a 40 percent savings. See the exact price comparisons in the chart below.
But is there a reason to spend the extra money?
Moms may think the brand name is more nutritious, but that's not necessarily the case.
Registered dietician Suzanne Farrell, from Cherry Creek Nutrition, took a look at the products we were testing. "What I found is they are pretty comparable, some are almost identical," she said.
But Farrell did notice a difference in the grain products. The name brand crackers had more whole grains, and the name brand bread had less sodium. Farrell says generics in general are a good option, just be sure to check the labels and make good decisions. "You won't have to sacrifice nutrition at all," Farrell said.

Asher - Along the lines of some other very trendy names, it just doesn't feel special to me.
Kieran - I thought more of Tiernan than Karen, but either way, I'm not in love.
Liam - Popular, yes, but for good reason. I love this one.
Silas - One of those old-man names that is made of awesome. I'd love to see this used, and adore Silas Luka as a combo.
Luka - Prefer Luca spelling, and would be considered about its proximity to the name Lucas. Perhaps a middle name?
Callum - Nice. Makes me think of classy British boys.
Anya - I think of Anya in the Anastasia movie. Spunky and Russian.
Vivien - Yes, Vivien Leigh and all that, but Vivien's just so overused.
Annika - Astrid Lindgren names are my weakness.
Charlotte - Meh. Has the word "harlot" in it.
Mia - Bland. Vaguely nickname-y.
Hadley - Boring. Preppy.
Mika - Yes, yes, yes! I might be only a bit biased considering that, as a writer, I had a main character Mika.
Sadie - Pretty, but also feels like a nickname. It's also always reminded me of someone who has a lot of cats for some reason.
Taelyn - A trendy reinvention of Taylor and the ever-popular -lyn names (Ashlyn, etc.).
Baylor - Weird combo of Bayley and Sailor.
Holly - Cute, but not as interesting as some others here.Adam Amedeo Avi Connor Dmitri Enjolras Leo Milo RonanArtemis Cicely Elisabeth Evangeline Mirabelle Ophelia Rosalie Titania

IOCC "Race to Respond" set to depart August 3
Riding past the fertile plains of the American Midwest in August, the cyclists of the "Race to Respond" won't have a hard time imagining the plowed fields of Bosnia-Herzegovina, the rocky, irrigated soil of Palestine or the monastery farms of Ethiopia.
Their goal in riding 3,500 miles in 25 days is to raise awareness and support for the people served by International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) in places such as Bosnia, the West Bank and Ethiopia.
After nearly two years of planning and training, IOCC's "Race to Respond" will depart from the New Jersey shore on Saturday, Aug. 3. The cycling team, made up of five Orthodox Christians, joins thousands of volunteers and donors who, in the past 10 years, have made it possible for IOCC to extend assistance to impoverished communities around the world.
IOCC will provide daily updates on the Race, including articles, journal entries and pictures, on the Race Web site, www.racetorespond.org, where people may also donate on-line.
As the cyclists "race" across the country, their mission is to highlight IOCC's own "race" to respond to the needs of people suffering from natural disaster, famine and civil unrest. Along the way, they will make about 30 stops - at Orthodox churches and other locations - to give presentations about IOCC's humanitarian mission.
The Race kickoff ceremony will begin at 5:30 p.m. Friday at Beach Park in Keyport, N.J. Keyport borough officials and Orthodox clergy from New Jersey will be among those in attendance. The ceremony also will include special music and a proclamation reading.
From the park, the five cyclists will get a police escort to Kimisis Tis Theotokou (Dormition of the Theotokos) Greek Orthodox Church in Holmdel, N.J., where, at 7 p.m., there will be a prayer service and reception.
The cyclists will depart from Keyport at 6 a.m. Saturday. On Day 1, they will cover central New Jersey, cross the Delaware River at Washington Crossing, pass north of Philadelphia and end in Morgantown, Pa., riding an estimated 127 miles.
An event is scheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Lancaster, Pa.
Race team members are: Jim Angelus, 45, of Hopewell, N.J.; Constantine "Dino" Davlantis, 30, of Oak Lawn, Ill.; Konstantin Kanelis, 35, of Munich, Germany; Alex Mazarakos, 27, of Burbank, Ill.; and Michael Tsakalos, 26, of Phoenix, Md.
They will be accompanied by support personnel, IOCC staff members and three support vehicles.
The Race is presented by Advantage Plus Inc., a nutritional supplement company based in Tampa, Fla. Other sponsors include Light Street Cycles in Baltimore, Md., The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer newspaper, Marcus & Millichap, a real estate investment brokerage company, and Rocky Mountain Orthodox Christian Charities and Missions, Inc.
In just 10 years, IOCC, the official humanitarian aid agency of Orthodox Christians, has provided more than $140 million in relief and development programs to suffering people in 21 countries. IOCC's goal for the "Race to Respond" is to raise $250,000, which will go to support programs assisting impoverished communities around the world.

Thanks for responses.
1. @IndianVisa: Actually, I never faced the problem earlier. It suddenly cropped up. Rather than make of the DVD, I think the problem occurs with rented/bought DVDs and not burnt ones...
2. @Tim De Beats: The DVDs can be played on another system so might not be related to DVD region.
3. @Pentelec: Yes the drive itself is detected. It is labeled DVD RW Drive.
Did you try the troubleshooter? What are the results?
Tim De Baets
Okay, as Tim De Beats posted, there is a troubleshooter for this. I know Microsoft makes Microsoft FixIt and it may detect and repair issues in the drive.
Also, I'm sure you are probably doing this, but make sure that the rented/bought DVDs aren't actually Blu-Rays or for other regions.
I would recommend running the troubleshooter and return with your results.
Hope the troubleshooter works,
First I want to confirm the following with you:
1. When you insert a DVD in your DVD-ROM, it didn't "show up". I wonder that means Windows shows a blank disk of Windows cannot recognize the disk?
2. Did you tried to play these DVD on another computer? If these can be played on another computer, I suggest try to use an external DVD-ROM.
If these DVDs can be played in an external DVD-ROM, it should be a hardware related issue. Please contact manufacture to fix the problem.
In case these DVDs cannot be played on the computer both use internal or external DVD-ROM, please take the following steps to troubleshooting the issue:
1. Check the following article and run the hotfix:
2. Try to check the problem in safe mode, since some third party could block the DVD drives:
1. Restart the computer and start pressing the F8 key on the keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple Operating Systems, press the F8 key when the boot menu appears.
2. When the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, select Safe Mode, and then press Enter.
3. Log onto Windows by using the Administrator account or any user account with Administrator privileges.
NOTE: In Safe Mode, your system display and Desktop will look and perform differently than in Normal Mode. This is only temporary. To return to Normal Mode, we need to restart the computer.
Hope that helps

@zhen tan:
Thanks for your reply.
1. When I insert such DVD, the drive icon just does not change. When I try to play the disc through a program like VLC or when I double-click on the drive icon, the disc is ejected with a pop-up msg 'Insert a supported disc' or 'Insert a disc', respectively.
2. These DVDs can be played on other machines
I have run the trouble shooter you mentioned. After running it, it says 'disc is not supported, insert a supported disc'.
I have not yet checked the 'safe mode' way yet. Will check that and get back.
The reason I doubt this is a software issue is that I can play the DVDs which are burnt by me or my friends. The problem occurs only for the rented movie DVDs.
I have run the trouble shooter you mentioned. After running it, it says 'disc is not supported, insert a supported disc'.And what if you run the troubleshooter with a DVD inserted that still works?
I have the exact same problem. same computer and everything.lambfish: please also check if the affected DVDs can be played on another system and run the same troubleshooter.
Tim De Baets
I have run the troubleshooter. For a DVD which I could be played earlier, the troubleshooter generated a report...pls find the report here.
(This DVD was playable earlier via VLC->file->open disc route. Today, however I could not play it.)
When I inserted a rented DVD and ran the troubleshooter, a different msg was displayed.
Also, in first case, when I inserted the disc, it took very long time for the green progress bar (Windows 7) to finish up. After that the drive icon did not change. When I double clicked on the drive, I got a feel that something is going on - but it took a very long time so I closed it.
In second case, the green progress bar did not take much time. When I double clicked, the disc was ejected and I got a msg to insert disc.
Checked playing both of the above DVDs in Safe Mode. Could not play them.
Interestingly, the Drive name 'DVD RW' changes to CD R (or something like 'CD *') in safe mode... is that normal?
I suggest that you uninstall the drive in Device Manager and reboot. When Windows starts up again, the drive will be automatically detected and re-installed. Does that help?
Tim De Baets
I suggest that you uninstall the drive in Device Manager and reboot. When Windows starts up again, the drive will be automatically detected and re-installed. Does that help?
Tim De Baets
I did that. Unfortunately, no change. I also noticed that when I put a DVD which can be played sometimes (and can't be played sometimes), it takes really long time to detect the DVD (if at all it is detected). Windows Explorer, media player stop responding in that case. Is it related somehow?
2. Can it be related to laser? I read somewehere that there are 2 different lasers for CD and DVD. Is that correct?
Not sure if there are 2 different lasers, but it seems plausible. A hardware issue is starting to become more likely now, so it could be related to the laser. I suggest that you purchase a 'cleaner' CD/DVD to clean the lasers. By the way, how old is the drive?

Tim De Baets
Hello again,
I was just going back to this issue, and thought of something to ask you. When you start your computer, are there any errors that come up by the BIOS, such as "SATA-1 not recognized"? This may signal a hardware issue.
Also, try looking up the drivers for the laptop and see if the CD/DVD drivers are existent in your "drivers" directory (C:\Windows\System32\drivers).
If this does not resolve the problem, I'll keep looking/thinking about more information to help.
I am having the exact same issue as described above, and cannot find a solution. Has anyone any further suggestions?
In my case both audio and software CDs work, but DVDs don't work. When I insert one, the computer takes quite some time trying to read it, eventually nothing happens. When I double-click on the DVD Drive icon, the DVD is ejected. When I run the troubleshooter the message is "The disc in drive [D:] is not detected, or is not supported". I am able to verify the DVD is fine in another PC. I have tried to reinstall the drives with no success, and I have tried to use safe mode.
The computer had a virus issue recently which makes me wonder if this is a configuration (e.g. registry) issue, but I have not been able to fix it by changing misc. registry entries either.
Tor Langlo, Koda Software
Tor: are you sure that the drive is capable of reading DVDs? You can check with Nero InfoTool, which can be downloaded at
Tim De Baets
First, sorry for not replying before (I thought I had alerts set up for this).
Yes, I'm sure the drive is DVD capable. This is a one year old Dell desktop, it's been used before to install "big" games, and it says DVD on the front.
We worked around the problem for now by installing from a shared drive on another computer.
I would hate to have to reinstall Windows 7...
Tor Langlo, Koda Software
In that case, a hardware issue is becoming more likely. Have you tried a 'cleaner' CD/DVD to clean the lasers?

Healthcare M&A Activity Surges in Q2
Buoyed by the addition of two blockbuster deals, the dollar value of healthcare services mergers and acquisitions tripled during the second quarter of 2012 compared with M&A activity during the comparable quarter in 2011, according to Norwalk, CT-based Irving Levin Associates Inc., which publishes a quarterly report on M&A activity in the healthcare industry.
Healthcare services, which includes physician groups, hospitals, and managed care, recorded 133 transactions valued at $23.1 billion in second quarter 2012 compared with 139 transactions valued at $7.3 billion for second quarter 2011.
The 2012 numbers, however, include a blockbuster $3.9 billion deal that involved two German hospital companies, Fresenius and Rhoen-Klinikuma. (Levin Associates includes foreign transactions in its M&A report, but these usually show up only in the medical device, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical categories.)
Omitting that mega-deal still pegs the value of healthcare services M&A at $19.2 billion, which is more than double the 2011 value.

During the very same hour of President Obama's second inauguration, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is often mentioned as a potential 2016 Republican presidential contender, sent out two separate announcements.
The first from his gubernatorial campaign: "Governor Chris Christie will be visiting the Hilton Newark Airport on Tuesday morning to accept the second major endorsement of his campaign." (The campaign did not provide information about who will be endorsing him.)
The second statement commemorated Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Christie, who praised President Obama's efforts in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, which devastated portions of coastal New Jersey, did not mention the president's inauguration.
"Dr. King was the paradigm of strength in triumphing over adversity and racial injustice to achieve what seemed impossible to so many for so long. His legacy stands as an eternal reminder of his sacrifice and the progress he achieved and which we are obliged to protect for every citizen of our state and nation. I join New Jerseyans in honoring Dr. King's life and work and his uncompromising commitment to peacefully working toward freedom and equality for all Americans," Christie said in the statement.

Thousands of Chinese athletes caught lying about their age
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating was an associate editor at Foreign Policy
Remember those suspiciously young-looking Chinese gymnasts from the Beijing Olympics? Turns out they're not alone. China's sports ministry has x-ray tested 15,000 youth athletes and found that a fifth are lying about their age:
The athletes tested were the top eight in each event at provincial youth competitions in 2008 and all those who had signed up for this year's Provincial Games. The result showed 3,000 were older than they claimed, 2,000 of whom were no longer eligible for any youth sport and 1,000 who should have competed in different age categories. Ye said 16 athletes in one event had faked their ages and the worst offenders were up to seven years older than they were allowed to be.

AI don't even know where to begin. I have multiple questions and concerns. Please bare with me. I'm making three cakes for my daughters' birthday party this weekend. All three will be double layered, decorated with rose swirls. This is my first time making a double layered cake or working with piping. The size pans I purchased are 6x3 (smash cake), 8x3, and 10x3. I'm planning on two being chocolate and one vanilla. I plan on using box cake mixes, and I'm worried about them falling apart. I'm going to freeze them the night before I decorate. Is any brand better for working with layering? Also, how many cups of batter should go in each size pan? Is buttercream my only option for making rose swirls? I tried a half shortening/ butter recipe that was petty gross. I plan on trying a new recipe that is something like 1 cup butter, 3-4 cups powdered sugar, 1tsp vanilla, 1-3tbs milk or cream. Will this hold up? The cakes will be inside besides the 5 minute car ride to the party location. Does anyone have a good icing/ frosting recipe that would work well with what I'm trying to do? The cakes are for children mostly so I would like to avoid a really sugary frosting. I also found a cream cheese buttercream I thought about using for one of the chocolate cakes. Will cream cheese pipe well and hold up? I'm thinking I bit off more than I can chew, but it's too late to turn back now. Any tips/ answers/ suggestions are very much appreciated!!
- 6" pan is about 2 cups batter
- 8" pan is about 3 cups batter
- 10" pan is about 6 cups batter
that ^^^ is from here http://www.wilton.com/wedding/wedding-cakes/wedding-cake-data.cfm
i recommend that you avoid the cream cheese icing this time--don't even go there
you could make a meringue and add butter and make a swiss meringue buttercream--very light and not as sweet as powdered sugar--but you gotta cook egg whites with sugar
here's a recipe http://sweetapolita.com/?s=swiss+meringue
AThanks so much. I checked this chart for serving sizes, but I must have missed the batter part.
AI think I may just stick with a traditional buttercream. The amount of frosting I'll have to make is probably going to be ridiculous. Seven eggs every batch of frosting is a bit much maybe. Is their any whipped cream frosting that would work?
i don't know--cool whip has some new frostings --i haven't tried them yet
but you could try it and let us/me know how it does--test it first
some peeps do great things with bettercream and pastry pride and icings like that
being fully prepared to fall back on the regular buttercream ;)
Whipped cream is going to be much harder to get stiff enough to hold up than the butter recipe you've given. I suspect it will be fine.
Cake and icing will be sugary, regardless. Just cut small pieces for the kids.
AThank you!
AThank you all for your help! They turned out great. (I set it as my profile picture). I was up til 5am finishing them up, but it was all worth it. Next time, I'll definitely start a day earlier and maybe not make three in one day. Thank God for this forum bc I got so many helpful tips from literally hours of research. Happy Easter!
Nice work! The three colors look good together.
Very nice! The colours are really pretty together. Happy Easter to you, too!

Bristow Group posted strong financial results for the nine months ending Dec. 31, 2012, reporting net income of $90 million on $993 million in revenues. Revenues for the quarter ending the year were $346.7 million, a 17-percent increase from the same period one year ago.
Bristow, which provides helicopter services to the oil-and-gas industry worldwide, attributed its improved quarterly results to increases in revenues in Canada, Europe, Australia, West Africa and the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.
In October, Bristow announced it was making a $250 million minority interest investment in VIH Aviation unit Cougar Helicopters. As part of the deal, Bristow will acquire various Cougar operating assets, including eight Sikorsky S-92As and Cougar's Canadian passenger and maintenance facilities at St. John's, Labrador and Halifax. The purchased aircraft and facilities are on a long-term leaseback to Cougar. The Cougar deal provided $13.8 million of additional revenue for the quarter.
Bristow (Booth No. C4328) made other deals in 2012 that also bolstered its bottom line.
In August, the company secured new contracts for 20 large aircraft that it expects will generate more than $2 billion in revenue. The deals are a combination of new contracts and extensions of current ones in Australia, Brazil and Europe for Sikorsky S-92s and Eurocopter EC225s.
In Australia, Inpex awarded Bristow a 10-year contract for up to six EC225s to support the Ichthys project beginning in 2014. In Brazil, Bristow's Lider subsidiary has secured five-year contracts from state energy company Petrobras for five S-92s. One helicopter will begin service this month and the others will be added next year. Bristow has won a seven- to 12-year contract extension in Norway for four S-92s starting in September 2014, as well as a new award for search-and-rescue services there using three new EC225s. In the UK sector of the North Sea, Bristow recently added an S-92 and an EC225 on a two-year contract.

Hello. I'm new to integrating asterisk with legacy pbx. The way my current systems works is that I have five incoming lines which I will plug into asterisk fxo card. Then I connect lines from fxs to acs incoming lines ports. Thus asterisk is siting out in front of the pbx. This should work fine all except for the mwi lights on my Partner-6 phones. From my understanding it would be possible to turn on the mwi light on extension 5 from extension 10 or did I not understand what you are saying? I need some clarification on how I would do this if possible as I cannot seem to make it work. I've tried it by pressing feature and then 0905, on the avaya phone. And by connecting a standard phone and dialing #0905 and neither works. Not sure what I am missing. My avaya system is an Avaya ACS R3 system. Also, is there some kind of a voicemail card or something that I need to install additional on the the ACS? Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated as my only real pbx experiences at this point have been only with asterisk. Thank you.

A Thane-based social organisation has offered to adopt the teenaged girl from Dombivili town here who was allegedly sexually abused by her father and brother for the last two years.
Thane: A Thane-based social organisation has offered to adopt the teenaged girl from Dombivili town here who was allegedly sexually abused by her father and brother for the last two years.
Social organisation `Parivartan` wants to adopt and take care of the girl`s future, who faced torture at the hands of her own father and brother, who allegedly raped her for the last two years, organisation`s members Jyoti Patkar and Madhavi Naik said Monday.
The 19-year-old girl was last month found crying at Dombivili station in Thane district by her friends.
She told them that her father had repeatedly raped her for the last two years and since the last two months her brother was also sexually abusing her, but she could not muster courage to complain against them.
Her mother was already living separately after divorcing her father.
However, encouraged by her friends, the girl lodged a complaint with police following which her father and brother were arrested on December 29 last year.
The girl was later admitted to Thane civil hospital where Madhavi Naik visited the girl.
"There are many teenagers who ache for care but in this case, this girl is orphaned even when she has her family members to take care of her which is very unfortunate. It is the responsibility of the society to care of such children," she said.
"First of all our duty was to encourage the girl and make her speak out. Now she is lodged at the Bhiwandi remand home for care. We have offered to the police to take care of the girl in future, and if all is well she should be handed over to us," Naik said.
Naik also said that apart from rehabilitating the girl, they would also ensure that the accused get severely punished for the crime.
`Parivartan` has its unit at Titwala township in Thane and has a budgetary provision to take care of around 30 girls. The girls are imparted training in various activities, besides education, by the organisation, she added.

Missed school days to be made up in May
Making up 13 hours graduating seniors missed during recent bad weather will mean a few changes to the May schedule. A professional development day previously scheduled May 23 has been changed to a full day for all students, not just graduating seniors, said Superintendent Robert Fulton.
Seniors will be required to attend school all day both Tuesday, May 27, and Wednesday, May 28 – previously scheduled half days. Thursday, May 29, a scheduled 3.5-hour half day will be extended an extra half hour for graduation proceedings and Monday, June 1, will be a full day of make up time to include graduation practice and a senior picnic. With this schedule, Fulton said, the 13 hours needed for graduating seniors are made up. Fulton said the administration, senior class officers and the guidance department worked to create the new schedule.

I talked with Bonnie Phipps and she said she was doing just fine, but no new news.
Last Monday was our O.E.S. meeting in Ava and we had some missing because of sickness.
I hope Vickie Prock is home and on the mend.
The O.E.S. entertained the Masons last Tuesday night and Marsha Blakey gave a talk after everyone got through eating.
I took some food and Carol's green beans to her and then I took some food over to Charlotte and Mike Bock after we cleaned up the kitchen.
Tara brought Jett over Wednesday and then picked him up that evening before I went to church for our business meeting and Bible Study. Those there were Nina Carter, Martin Hathcock, Jewell Elliott, Kay Hutchison, Hellen Blakey and Ric Engelhardt.
James and Lakota came by after I got home they had came back from a ballgame which they won.
I kept Jett Thursday morning while Justin and Tara went to Coleman Miles' funeral.
That night I went to the Stained Glass Theatre with Nina Carter and we met my sister, Margaret Allen, and her daughter, Brenda Henslee, Monica Reemes and friends, Anette and Betsy. The title of the play was "Seeds of Joy" and it was good. If you can go see it you will think so too.
Friday was flu shot day and I got mine and then I headed down to the lake where Vernal and Ellen Blakey was camping and it rained on me almost all the way down there after I passed Bessie Hall's house.
It rained off and on all day Saturday so Deloris and I stayed in the camper while the younger ones went shopping, when they got back we ate supper and then played games and talked.
Sunday morning I got up and came back up here for Sunday school because I had a student who was going to be there.
When I got home from church Mark and Sherry were here with some eggs and there on my front porch was a bag with some big potatoes in it and some egg cartons and I haven't found out who left them, but I appreciate it.
Sunday night the Mt. Tabor Church went over to Martin and Mary Ann Hathcock's and sung some songs for Mary Ann because she hasn't been getting out to church.
Nina Carter stopped and picked me up.
Keep those prayers going for all the sick folks.
My prayer and sympathy goes out to all who have lost a loved one.
Lets pray for our leaders and the men and women in the service and their families and the ones in training.

Environmentalists and Indians are asking a federal court to order utility company NV Energy to clean up land and water they say has been contaminated by an aging coal-fired power plant slated for closure beginning next year outside Las Vegas.
The Sierra Club and Moapa Band of Paiutes who live near the Reid-Gardner plant want a judge to declare that the publicly traded company conducted operations for years that endangered the public health.
They're seeking a court order to clean up contaminants they believe have been illegally dumped into the Muddy River.
NV Energy declined to comment on the lawsuit filed today in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas.
But company spokeswoman Kelly Mulroy says the plant 40 miles northeast of Las Vegas fully complies with state and federal laws.
