An interesting travel of about an hour by boat from the Gateway of India, passing the Mumbai harbour, and the Naval barges, takes you to Elephanta Caves where there are caves with carvings dedicated to Lord Siva. It is an UNESCO World Heritage site. The Elephanta Island is the site of the magnificent Elephanta caves, containing beautiful carvings, sculptures, and a temple to the Hindu God, Lord Shiva. The island of Elephanta, being a commercial, military and religions centre for centuries has traces of early Buddhist culture.
One of the major Tourist Attractions of Maharashtra, the Elephanta Caves are situated near the metropolitan city of Mumbai. The Elephanta island is located 10 Kms away from the Gateway of India. There are various rock cut temples present in these caves, which are as old as 5th century. The Elephanta Island was named by the Portuguese, after the statue of an elephant near the landing area of the island. Construction of The Caves : The rock cut temples in Elephanta Caves are carved out of rock. There are columns, internal spaces and images within these temples. The entire temple is related to a large sculpture. In fact one can walk through the corridors and chambers of this sculptured temple. Created through a process of rock removal, the entire complex is an interesting monument. Some of the rock surfaces here are finely finished whereas some are unfinished bare rock. The Elephanta rock caves are sprawled over a large area of about 60000 square feet. These temple caves consist of a main chamber, courtyards and several subsidiary shrines. There is also a mass of natural rock, above the temple. There are three entrances to the temple. The eastern and the western entrances mark the axis of the temple. There is a 20 pillared hall that lines the axis, and on its western end is a cell in which a Shivalingam enshrined. The Mystical Images : The magnificent image of Sadasiva, a manifestation of Shiva, is carved in relief at the end of the north south axis. The stupendous 20 feet high image of the three headed Shiva, known as Trimurthy is a magnificent one. It is regarded as a masterpiece of Indian art. This huge image represents Panchamukha Shiva, whose only three faces are carved into the wall. It attracts your attention just as you enter the temple through the northern entrance. Along with this image there are grand sculptured images of Kalyanasundara, Gangadhara, Ardhanariswara and Uma Maheswara on the southern wall. Other sculptured images of Nataraja and andhakaasuravadamoorthy are to the west of the northern entrance and the images of Yogiswara and Ravanaanugrahamurthy are to its east.

Futures of this type are about the loss of many aspects of society that we value.
We have used the word 'catastrophe' rather than 'collapse' (which is often used in other literature) because collapse is not always undesirable (e.g. collapse of a despotic regime).
Catastrophe futures might emerge because good intentions don't work out as planned (e.g. over-use of an essential resource while intending to grow an economy, or restraining use of resources to protect them but causing an economy to collapse), or because of direct destruction of desirable aspects of society (e.g. invasion of a country and destruction of its culture or the spread of a disease that destroys people's health and wellbeing).
It is easy to think of how 'catastrophe futures' might come about, and there are many and varied possibilities. Shocks and emergencies are typical triggers for catastrophes, but their impact (e.g. whether they lead to further catastrophes and even societal collapse or are stimuli for adaptation and/or transformation) depends on how prepared society is for them (e.g. what built infrastructure and human, social, and natural capital is available). Many catastrophe futures could occur from failure to take opportunities to grow sustainably, apply restraint, or transform Australia.
In the Canberra workshop, people were encouraged simply to think about what could go wrong. They ended up focussing strongly on how the other three scenario archetypes might fail and flip into catastrophes. In Adelaide, participants were introduced to a typology of disaster management that suggests risks become crises when the unexpected occurs, crises become disasters when there is major harm, and disasters become catastrophes when recovery from the disaster is not effective. This focussed thinking on the sorts of challenges that humans might not manage well. Very similar catastrophes were imagined as in Canberra.
It appears that both groups followed similar thinking processes from different starting points. In particular, both groups identified ways in which catastrophic scenarios can become self-reinforcing, bringing out the worst in people and situations. There were rich discussions on what we are doing now in 2016 that either increases or decreases the likelihood of catastrophic futures. Participants drew on references from popular culture more than in any other scenario, and this contributed to the ease with which participants were able to imagine and engage with catastrophic futures. It suggests that artists have a key role to play in helping us imagine alternative futures, and that catastrophic futures make for more compelling drama than other future scenarios.
Interpreting catastrophe
This archetype is sometimes called 'collapse' in the literature. This term was avoided because it was thought there were too many types of collapse to contain in one archetype. For example, the collapse of a dysfunctional totalitarian regime might be seen as good (and probably would be a transformation scenario), whereas the collapse of a community's economy could be seen as a catastrophe. We decided to focus only on catastrophe futures in this archetype.
What some see as catastrophes, others might not. For example, collapse of the internet might be considered a catastrophe in some respects but a relief in others. Some see climate change as a looming catastrophe, while others see it as a challenge that can be managed and may even offer opportunities.
In many catastrophes (e.g. the global financial crisis) there are winners and losers, who see the event in very different ways. Would we regard events that had disastrous effects somewhere else (e.g. an ecosystem decline in another country or in Australia but far away from where we live) or that we bene ted from (e.g. collapse in food production somewhere else that becomes a market opportunity for our food producers) as catastrophes?
Lack of change might be seen as a catastrophe by some (because it might lead to stagnation) but might be seen as comforting by others.
Catastrophes can be environmental, social, or economic. While some natural disasters are outside human control (e.g. volcanoes), others are made worse by bad decisions. Social catastrophes (e.g. collapse in democracy) and economic ones (e.g. collapses in financial systems) usually have complex origins. All three kinds carry the risk of societal breakdown from local through to global scales.
What catastrophe futures might be like in Australia in 2050
Future catastrophes could take many different forms. Some might be repeats of past events and some might be novel occurrences. Fires, floods, droughts, and heat-waves are possible features in catastrophe futures. Other environmental problems include greater spread of diseases affecting wildlife and livestock (including the sorts of problems currently affecting honey bee populations), collapsing sh stocks, toxic algal blooms, widespread pollution, collapsing biodiversity, and increases in pest species. Sea-level rise in neighbouring countries is likely to pose challenges, at least in terms of aid, for Australia.
Various health conditions are associated with environmental challenges (e.g. viruses transmitted by animals, food insecurity and/or famine, water shortages, heat stress) and also from unregulated growth in population and consumption of resources (e.g. demand for food and energy outstripping supply, increases in mental illness, anti-social behaviour and crime due to overcrowding, and inadequate support services).
Catastrophe futures also feature failing infrastructure (e.g. information technology, waste management and sanitation, security, energy supply, financial systems), growing inequality, low quality aged care, high mortality rates among the elderly and disadvantaged, and social isolation.
Disease pandemics and other population health problems are another feature of catastrophe futures. People may become increasingly unwilling to take responsibility for anything or anyone but themselves. In this type of future, people act in their own immediate interests and stop cooperating with any laws or contributing to any social cohesion or civility. Refugees would not be welcome and would be treated harshly, possibly leading to tensions with neighbouring countries.
Conflict features strongly in catastrophe futures, including riots and violence driven by political and financial unrest and personal insecurity, and resources being diverted to protecting Australia's borders from refugees and invaders. Conflict is likely to come from growing inequity (whether in income or opportunities for employment, health, security, and access to resources and services).
Over-reliance on technologies, including information technologies, is a potential vulnerability if these systems fail, if they are used against us (e.g. cyber terrorism), or if laws, regulations, and social norms fail to keep pace with rapid technological change.
Other catastrophes could arise in the form of more global and/or regional financial crises, loss of confidence in money, hyper-inflation, high levels of income inequality, devaluation of currency, widespread unemployment, vibrant black markets for scarce resources (e.g. gold, drugs, petrol, food, medicines), loss of economic access to food, and a high level of profiteering from elites in privileged situations.
Governments could become dysfunctional and unable to meet people's needs, leading to widespread non-cooperation with laws and regulations, secession, and/or the formation of regional and/or corporate power alliances. Such futures could include declining education systems, lack of support for multicultural communities, and unclear and ineffective rules for ownership of Australian land and institutions. Poor communication via the media, government, and other sectors could lead to a lack of meaningful public discourse on matters of importance and, instead, foster rumour and fear-mongering, suppression of access to information, and proliferation of misinformation.
At the other extreme, the need to address catastrophes might allow the emergence of an overly authoritarian government, where individual surveillance, dictatorial leadership, and strict limitations on individual rights and freedom of speech are commonplace.
In general, catastrophe futures feature low quality of life for most, with little happiness, high unemployment, no leisure, overcrowded conditions, high levels of violence and homelessness, and growing uncertainty and insecurity in damaged ecosystems and urban environments. Loss of infrastructure (built and social), trust, and connectivity make society more vulnerable to shocks and less able to recover and adapt.
How catastrophe futures might come about
Many of the characteristics of catastrophe futures described above in themselves create conditions that increase the likelihood of further catastrophe and collapse: there is a vicious circle that is difficult to stop once set in train.
Shocks and emergencies can trigger catastrophic cascades, particularly if our environment and/or society have been weakened and made more vulnerable. While some shocks might be within our power to avoid or control, others might not be or might only partly be (e.g. extreme weather events, financial crises that start somewhere else, bush res and floods, terrorism attacks, cyber-attacks, pandemics, and global environmental collapses such as fisheries). Australia could be particularly vulnerable to political events outside its influence (e.g. military conflicts, unrest that creates a ow of refugees to Australian shores, and unhealthy political alliances and trading relationships).
Environmental and social problems can arise due to complex chains of cause and effect. Examples might include population growth leading to environmental impacts on food supply and then social collapse due to food insecurity; rapid changes in environmental, health, and international security together causing the collapse of the insurance industry; or growing inequities that create barriers to opportunity and fuel conflict. Often such problems become catastrophes because immediate responses (whether by individuals, communities, businesses, or government) make the problem worse. Some aspects of human psychology work against societal learning, making us potentially more vulnerable to catastrophes (e.g. inflexible belief systems, failure to empathise with others, adversarialism rather than understanding alternative views, complacency, blind faith in technological solutions, unwillingness to take responsibility, and inability to imagine things that have not happened before).
Anticipating change, preparing for it, and learning from experience build an ability to cope with shocks. While the above reads like a catalogue of horrors, it allows us to think about how to avoid or at least prepare for undesirable futures. Valuable contributions to adaptive capacity include insurance systems, well-maintained critical infrastructure, a portfolio of alternative sources of energy and resources, risk assessment and planning, a precautionary approach to ecosystem management, building resilient (rather than 'just in time') supply chains, good leadership and governance, and a culture that values learning. It was concluded that anticipating change, preparing for it, and learning from experience are essential elements of the ability to cope with shocks.

The supermarket shelves carry a plethora of cleaning agents for the household. These cleaning agents give different promises and you're likely to reach out for more than one of these in your quest to have a clean home.
These cleaning products have chemicals in them which aren't the best for the home or the environment. Although you can't completely do without them, you can, however, minimize their use.
Here's how you can adopt ten ways of naturally cleaning your home with the use of chemicals.
Contents & Quick Navigation
#10 Cleaning the refrigerator.
Scrub the interior of your fridge with a solution made from 2 tablespoons of baking soda dissolved in a liter of water. Use a soft cloth for wiping.
To get rid of odor from your fridge, you can keep a piece of coal inside. Other products that will get rid of smells include lemon slices, pieces of dark bread and glasses of baking soda.
#9 The toilet.
Use pure vinegar to clean and disinfect your toilet.
#8 Bathroom tiles.
Mix one-fourth glass of hydrogen peroxide with 1 tablespoon of liquid soap and half a glass of water. For cleaning superficial dirt on the tiles, put this mixture on a sponge and scrub the affected areas. Rinse off with water.
Top 15 Ways Of Chemical-Free Home Cleaning For A Healthier Home
For stronger dirt, put the mixture on the affected areas and leave for ten minutes for the dirt to loosen. Repeat the process and finally wash off with water.
Mix equal parts of vinegar and water and spray on the bathroom tiles every two weeks for a cleaner bathroom for longer.
#7 Oven.
Put some ammonia in a bowl and leave it overnight in your oven. Next morning, open all the windows to get rid of the smell of ammonia. Wash your oven with gloves on. Your oven will restore its clean and sheen.
#6 Clean a microfiber sofa.
Put some isopropyl alcohol on a sponge and rub the affected areas on the microfiber sofa. To get rid of odor, add some baking soda before you scrub the stained areas.
#5 Gas stove.
Wear a pair of gloves and dip a cotton bud into ammonia-anisic drops. Now rub the greasy spots on the stove knobs. For harder to reach areas, use a toothbrush and a sponge.
#4 Mattress.
Mix 235 ml 3% hydrogen peroxide with 3 tablespoons of baking soda. When the baking soda dissolves, add one drop of liquid detergent. Give a good shake and spray on the affected spots. Leave for 5 to 10 minutes. Vacuum the remnants of baking soda.
#3 Kettle.
Fill the kettle half way or up to three-quarters with vinegar and water in equal parts. Cork the nose of the kettle and boil till the furring inside doesn't come off. Rinse the kettle well afterwards.
#2 Kitchen exhaust hood filters.
In a big pot, boil water and slowly pour in half a cup of baking soda with a spoon. Put the filters in the boiling water and the dirt will start to dissolve. Remove the filters from the fire after a few minutes and repeat the process if necessary.
If the grease was too strong, soak the filters in hot water mixed with half a glass of ammonia. Take care to use gloves and mask and keep the windows open.
#1 Dishes.
A great dish-washing mixture consists of one part of baking soda with three parts of dry mustard seeds. You can store this in a bottle with holes in the lid.

Adobe released the latest iteration of their Creative Suite, CS4, last October, and back then, their "limited time upgrade offer deadline" of February 28, 2009 seemed so far off, didn't it?
And now … the end is near … and so we face … the final daytosave200dollars …. (that was me imitating Frank Sinatra).
Here's the skinny: If you're upgrading from CS3 to CS4, there is no deadline to worry about. The upgrade price remains the same as it's always been, $499 for CS4 Standard and $599 for CS4 Premium.
The savings deal is for people who still use CS1 or CS2. To upgrade to CS4, skipping previous ones, you have until February 28 (tomorrow, as I write this), to get the same price as those who paid for the CS3 upgrade.
After February 28, you have to pay $200 more to leapfrog to CS4, when the upgrade cost moves to $699 (Standard) or $799 (Premium). So if you think you're probably going to upgrade to CS4 sometime this year, it would behoove you to do so now, even if you don't install it for a while.
There are all sorts of permutations on upgrade prices (for example, you can still upgrade from a single product to the entire suite for something like $799), so please check the Adobe site for actual final figures before waving this article in your boss's face and yelling "let's go! let's go! let's go!"
The page on the Introductory Upgrade offer (the one that expires 2/28) is here:

Here's why I created Snacks By Air...
During my time as an Army Enlisted Soldier, I experienced first-hand how uplifiting it is to receive care packages from your loved ones. When my daughters would deploy with the US Navy, I knew how important it was to stay connected by sending them care packages. Luckily, as a postal worker, I had everything available to do this weekly. They loved it and their shipmates admired it! In my work, I often meet customers who want to send tokens of affection to their kids in college, children away at summer camp, or military personnel stationed overseas, but are too distracted with day-to-day obligations.
I'm thrilled that Snacks By Air can help you show your love.

I got the call from a friend yesterday that you were gone. There was a time when I waited for that call with a certainty of not if but when. There is never a way to be ready for the words telling you that someone is no longer here and all the unfineshed business would remain that way. Our story was a whirlwind and we knew each other in ways not too many people experience. Just…always thought we would some day be able to sit down for coffee and set things right. You were and forever will be someone I loved and cared for beyond what those words can mean. Whatever choice you made in your own path and where our roads split is lost with you now. I have to believe you are in better hands now than you were while you were here. I have to believe you finally found some relief.
Good bye Kass.
No more cry face ok?

Democratic Republic of Congo - Consultation with indigenous peoples and others affected by REDD initiatives in the DRC: An example of best practice?
The Democratic Republic of Congo has recently submitted its Readiness Preparation Proposal for REDD (R-PP) to the World Bank's Forest Carbon Partnership Facility. Considering that a successful outcome relies on ensuring effective participation by forest communities, indigenous peoples and civil society across the vast extent of the DRC's rainforest, this briefing asks: has the DRC followed best practice in this respect, as a UN agency is now claiming?

My price includes postage and packing within the UK, items usually being despatched within 48 hours of receipt of funds. I am happy to send items abroad but buyers from overseas should contact me for shipping costs and make an additional payment. Buyers are liable for import taxes in their own country where appropriate.
Remember - on most pages you can click pictures to see more photos!
These are photos of the actual model available. Remember that these toys are around 50 years old! All models advertised are original, not restored or repainted unless I have stated otherwise.
With all the flashy Chevrolets and Zephyrs for the police around this little Sunbeam Imp looks a little amusing! It is a late Corgi model and I think they had some casts left over after the Monte Carlo model became out of date. That will explain the strange shape at the front which I don't recall seeing on any police cars! It was the correct Monte Carlo badge shape though :)
It has tan seats instead of the yellow and this one has no sign of a policeman driving it which was in early models.
The door stickers may also be luminous. That's what the original box (not available, sorry) said although I haven't tested them myself.
This is the later edition, running from 1969 through to 1972. Earlier 1968/9 models were black and white.
A nice, very clean model.

Contempt of Court in Colorado
Affirmative Legal Defense For Your Case
At Jones Law Firm, PC, each attorney has knowledge and experience in contempt of court cases that may arise after a divorce or legal separation. Once alimony and spousal maintenance, child support, child custody and visitation agreements have been made and approved by the court, they are enforceable by law. While it may be no longer possible to live together as a single family unit, these agreements are put in place with the intention of helping all involved live as normally as possible in the existing circumstances.
Especially in the case of child support or any situation involving children, these court-ordered agreements are often essential to the day to day care, health, and education of the children.

Frequently Asked Questions About Contempt of Court
If you are facing or filing contempt of court charges, then you probably have a lot of unanswered questions about how the process works. Here are a few common questions that we believe will be helpful to you.
For contempt of court cases what is the burden of proof?
In a remedial contempt cases, the person bringing for the charges must prove how the other party violated the court order. This standard is referred to as a "preponderance of the evidence." It means that the court must be at least 51% persuaded that the claim is true. For punitive contempt cases the burden of proof is to demonstrate that the other party is in violation beyond a reasonable doubt.
In a contempt of court case do I have the right to an attorney?
According to Colorado law you are entitled to legal representation in punitive contempt cases. When someone is labeled as financially indigent and unable to pay for an attorney, then the court will appoint one for them.
Do I have to show up at the contempt of court hearing?
This depends on whether or not you are the party taking action or if you are being accused of violating the court order. If you were the one who filed and you do not show up at the hearing then you risk your case being dismissed. In some cases having an attorney present will suffice. If you are the one being accused and you fail to appear at the hearing, then the other party could persuade the court to issue a warrant for your arrest.
How long do I have to serve the contempt papers to the other party?
If you are the party taking action, then you must make sure that the contempt papers are served to the accused party at least 20 days before the initial hearing. If the accused party is purposefully trying to avoid being served, then the court sometimes makes exceptions.

It appears former president Jimmy Carter, now 92 years old, has yet to meet a tyrant he doesn't admire.
His continuing embrace of terrorist regimes makes some wonder when we will see the cessation of his continual self-exhumations from political burial in order to once again resume his prophetic declamations on behalf of odious regimes, past and present.
By Rick Moran
Shocking testimony from Border Patrol chief Mark A. Morgan during a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security Committee detailed just how dangerous the border is becoming for his agents.
Morgan says attacks on border patrol agents are up a staggering 200% over last year, with a surge in young illegal aliens and unaccompanied minors being a particular problem.
We Iranians, castigated by the barbaric cult of Islam as infidels, heathens, unbelievers, and apostates, have long recognized Islam for what it is: an intolerant primitive chauvinistic belief system incompatible with the tenets of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
In June 2015, Donald Trump announced his presidential campaign.
According to an email from Marissa Astor, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook's assistant, to Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, the campaign knew Trump was going to run, and pushed his legitimacy as a candidate. WikiLeaks' release shows that it was seen as in Clinton's best interest to run against Trump in the general election.
It is hard to believe this September marks the 15-year anniversary since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It was a teachable moment in a specific point in time when America's view of the world changed dramatically, and perhaps permanently.
The Clinton role in the rise of Islamic irredentism has now come full circle. Bill Clinton might get the credit for the original Muslim tilt. Bosnia (1992-95) set the table for a series of interventions that gave birth to the so-called Arab Spring and any subsequent triumphs of Islamofascism. Ironically, Bill Clinton could be both righteous about civil wars in the Balkans and oblivious to genocide in Rwanda simultaneously.
Omid Kokabee's Release Comes After Months Struggling with Kidney Cancer That Was Left Untreated in Prison
Imprisoned Iranian scientist Omid Kokabee, who spent more than five years in Evin Prison for refusing to work on Iran's military projects, was granted conditional release on August 29, 2016. Kokabee, currently on medical leave, was diagnosed with kidney cancer this past April after years of being denied proper medical treatment by prison authorities.
Make America Great Again. Just a slogan, the people of failure shout back. Failure knows only failure. To these people, the Obama-Hillary team who have failed us for nearly eight years in every aspect of our lives, failure is not only normal, it is inevitable.
The list of their failures for the loser team is so long and glaring that I hardly need to repeat them all here. So, here's just a few to remind those who are in denial or have a vested interest in keeping the failing system in place.
Ted Cruz emerged onto the national political scene in 2012 when he defeated Texas Lt. Gov. Dewhurst and had the backing of most of the state's Republican establishment, including then-governor Rick Perry.
I can attest to that, because I personally witnessed it every step of the way.
"Where intelligence starts and stops is at the White House," Lt. General Michael Flynn gruffly exclaimed in response to a question posed by Megyn Kelly on The Kelly File. "The president sets the priorities, and he's the number-one customer. So if he's not getting the intelligence that he needs, and if he's not paying attention to what else is going on, then something else is wrong there between them and the advisers that he has."

2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat price Edmonton AB
The last few days and weeks have been big ones for Hellcat lovers who are dying to find out more information about Dodge's latest model year sports car.
The 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat price Edmonton AB was announced, and it will begin at $59,995 according to Dodge manufacturers. It's almost impossible to believe that it only would cost around $60,000 for the latest Dodge sports car, but then again, Dodge really knows what they're doing.
The 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat is one of the most exciting vehicle releases of the 2015 model year, not only because of the Hellcat's price but because of its redesign, power and speed.
The 2015 Dodge Challenger was redesigned this year to channel the 1971 Dodge Challenger, which showcases rich, luxurious interior fabrics and details, old school projector headlights and an exterior that will make you yearn for a simpler time that these vehicles accompanied.
Most exciting about the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat, though, is the projected power that the Hellcat is said to attain. Dodge announced last week that the 2015 Hellcat will provide more than 700 horsepower and can reach top speeds of 320 km/hr. The 2015 Hellcat can also provide up to 650 ft-lb of torque, which is unprecedented in this segment.
Edmonton drivers have been going crazy over the newest model year Hellcat ever since it was introduced at the 2014 New York International Auto Show earlier this year and with the segmented release of information, the hype is expected to continue.
Besides its power and speed, the 2015 Hellcat is an exciting vehicle because of its unique styling. Not everyone will necessarily want as much power and speed as the Hellcat can provide, but the 2015 Dodge Challenger comes in a variety of other models and engine sizes that can surely fit any lifestyle. Check back for more updates as the release date of the 2015 Dodge Challenger gets closer!

Review: Max by Sawyer Bennett (Cold Fury Hockey #6)
Note: This ARC was provided by Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
"Max . . . I simply can't help but to love you too. You've made it impossible for me to have anything less than love. I don't know what I did to deserve it but I'll be damned if I'm going to ever waste it or take it for granted. I just want to make you as happy as you make me."
Max Fournier may be the most eligible bachelor in professional hockey but he would much rather be the starting goalie for his team, Stanley Cup defending champions Carolina Cold Fury. At twenty-seven, he's one of the very best goalies around and with the former starting goalie now retired, Max has his chance. He loves being a hockey player, but while he's had his share of puck bunnies, drunken hook-ups, and short-term relationships, he's still a romantic at heart and believes in commitment. The last place he expects to find the woman who snags his heart is the convenience store at a gas station, but that's exactly where he meets twenty-five-year-old Julianne Bradley. She's naturally gorgeous and has no clue who he is, which is far more appealing than someone clinging to him and his celebrity. But Jules has a lot going on in her life, with three children under her care. Convincing her to live a little may prove to be difficult, what more convincing her to take a few risks--like spending time with him--and live life a whole lot more? Max is used to winning and with a main goal in mind--to win Jules' heart--he's already all in.
When her older sister passed away from cancer, Jules Bradley took in her nephews and niece, all below the age of ten. She became their legal guardian and sole provider, which required her to take another job aside from the current full-time job she already had. Life is by no means easy, but in the four months she's had the kids, she's prepared to scrimp, save, and sacrifice to give them what they need. She's got a lot going on and the last thing she needs is a relationship. Who would want to be with someone with as much baggage as her? But then she meets Max Fournier and from the moment he rescues her from two rude customers at the store and then bears witness to her struggles with the kids, she can't quite believe he would be interested. Max makes adjustments just to make sure that they're able to spend time together in between his games and her responsibilities. When other people start to see her as nothing more than a gold digger, Jules isn't sure if the hurt and hassle are worth it. There's no doubt they're already in love with each other, but is she prepared to be with him in spite of his fame and fortune?
Sawyer Bennett's Cold Fury Hockey series started off really well for me and most of the books that followed have gone over well with me, save for the fifth one, which faltered quite a bit, leaving me wanting. Well, talk about bouncing back because not only did I love Max, but I do believe I've found a new favorite (sorry, Alex!) in this sixth installment in this ongoing sports romance series. Calling this a Cinderella-like romance would be too simplistic. There were layers to the story and its complexities were ones I found rather enticing. I loved Jules and Max together, but I also loved them as individuals, with Jules and her dedication to her niece and nephews and with Max and his care and concern for Jules and the kids. Their relationship is by no means perfect. They work hard to make it work, compromising when necessary and learning to communicate better. It was nice having majority of the other couples make appearances here, but Stevie Magliano was such a fantastic multiple scene stealer, and I'm hoping he gets a happy ending as well! Max was a modern fairy tale that had me swooning. Five-plus stars. Le sigh. ♥

We've finally arrived back in Tokyo where the fleeting peak of the blossom season has past. Huge flurries of snow-like petals sweep through the parks and streets. It's transience merely heightens the appeal of the beautiful phenomenon; we were fortunate to hit it head-on on our arrival. There are, however, a few varieties of the sakura which are still resiliently holding onto their adornment which I came across whilst walking through the gardens above the imperial palace, exploring the area vaguely surrounding were we're staying. (Much to my frustration I only had the poor quality camera with me out on this walk; it was simply stunning.)
I walked for around three hours, enjoying en route some of the fantastic strawberries they sell in the grocery shops here. I don't know where they get them from or what they grow them in but they're some of the best strawberries I've ever had: really sweet and delicious.
With only a very poor quality map in my pocket guide book, after three hours of exploration I tried to get back and eventually ended up very lost, particularly as none of the locals seemed to know what street they were on either (streets are very poorly labelled here, if at all). I asked a young lady for directions (when the street I was convinced was the one to the hotel turned out to be somewhere completely different) and she was, yet again, another example of the outstanding Japanese hospitality. She didn't speak a word of english but through the little japanese I've managed to get to grips with she understood and helped me to find a police station to work out where we were. She then jumped in a taxi which she told me to get in to and took me to the hotel, paying herself despite my objection, and chatting en route about her friend in England. Amazing! If only people were that friendly in the rest of the world!
This morning we headed to meet a lady called Vanessa to do a few hours of ninja martial arts training. It just so happened that the well known Japanese 'Fuji TV' television channel wanted to do a report on this dojo (training house) so asked if they could document our private lesson. It was incredible, right from the moment when we walked through the door to a meditation session in the dojo. It was just the two of us with Vanessa, the translator, the master ninja, a trainee and the two members of the TV crew. Firstly we joined in with a meditation session and 'cutting the air nine times' ceremony before getting into the clan's traditional outfits and being taught how to correctly use a wide variety of elaborate weapons. Firstly we threw stars and these sharp sticks (much like chop sticks but ever so slightly more dangerous being spiked and made of metal). Then we had a go with the blow darts, aiming to swing through a revolving door, pop a balloon at the other side of the room then retreat through the door before being hit by the plastic ninja stars the others would fling at us. Luckily I managed to have a bit of a knack for the dart gun and got it first time, saving myself the embarrassment caused by my inferior muscle power in later 'earth' tiger claw trials.

text: J. Guthrie - October 15, 2012 Love Child: Zel Custom T1 Tactilite Review The mirage mostly danced straight up and told me the wind conditions down at the 1,000-yard line were perfect and it was time to get on the trigger. My first hour at the range was amazing, with zero wind the entire length of the range, but as the sun crawled higher, the winds picked up and, worse, were erratic. I kicked myself for not starting long and working my way back, but that's the way love goes. There were two good hits on the steel, and I wanted to finish with a perfect third shot.Pulling the buttstock into my shoulder with the familiar A2 pistol grip, I loaded up the bipod by pushing off with my toes and dropped flatter than a dime on the dance floor. Mother Earth had a calming effect on me and, more important, the crosshairs. The mental checklist was pretty simple: double-check the come-up, double-check parallax, let the rifle find its natural point of aim, adjust the rear bag with a pinch, start the breathing cycle and prep the trigger. The NP-R1 reticle settled perfectly into the white center dot of a 15-inch bullseye, and I did not waste a second before pressing the trigger.A pressure wave smacked my face, and the rifle rocked me back a bit, but I was able to push back into place just in time to see a wicked sight — the third round smashed the steel an inch from my first shot, giving me an overall group of just 7.4 inches. The rifle was an AR of sorts, but I was not slinging 5.56 or 6.5mm or even .30-caliber bullets. I had crushed the wind and distance with a 250-grain Sierra MatchKing loaded in brand-new Black Hills brass. Yep, the .338 Lapua Magnum ruled the roost, or at least this firing line. I worked the bolt, chambered another round and started thinking about mirage again. Writers like me have written endlessly about the AR's versatility, but the Zel Custom Manufacturing Tactilite T1 upper I was shooting shreds the envelope and can take shooters well beyond the maximum effective range of ordinary AR cartridges. Zel Custom designers figured out a way to pair cartridges such as the .50 BMG, .416 Barrett, .408 CheyTac and, my personal favorite, the .338 Lapua Magnum and a standard AR lower with no permanent modifications. Unlike the majority of other bolt rifles chambered for these powerful calibers, an upper is relatively inexpensive. The concept is by no means new, but Zel Custom has so far produced the best iteration. The only catch is losing semiauto capability — all the Tactilite uppers are bolt actions — but "you have to pay the cost to be the boss," as B.B. King would sing. The T1 uppers are single-shots, and the T2 uppers, available in .50 BMG and .416 Barrett only, feed from five-round Accuracy International magazines located on the upper's left side.Zel Custom starts with a 21-pound chunk of 4140 chrome-moly steel bar stock, and after a few hours in a CNC machine, they end up with a 3½-pound receiver and a big pile of chips. The entire receiver is then heat-treated to RC 45. Bolting on rails and screwing together pieces instead of machining the receiver from one uninterrupted block of steel would be cheaper, but designers figured on making the part bombproof, a comforting thought considering the forces generated by the .50 BMG and friends.Barrels, all of which are button rifled, come from two different manufacturers and define three different grades of uppers. Zel gets rifled blanks and does the finish work in-house, allowing them to customize chambers and barrel lengths. They have built rifles in everything from .338 Federal on up to .50 BAT, so anything short of 20mm is on the table. The basic Ultralite has a Mossberg tube, and most will hold better than 1½ MOA according to the company. Lothar Walther chrome-moly (LW19) blanks are used in the Duty models, and the stainless steel (LW50) Super Match barrel pretty much speaks for itself. The two upgraded barrels should easily shoot under one MOA.The barrels are threaded and screwed into the receiver, obviously, and then a free-float aluminum handguard is press fit onto the outside of the receiver. Machined from a custom 7075 aluminum extrusion, the handguard has two extensions on top and bottom that are screwed into the receiver to keep it from rotating. The sample rifle had rails up and down the entire length on all four sides, but 2012 models have rails on the last three inches to make the rifle easy to rest on sandbags or shoulder fire. Metal parts wear a variety of finishes but match perfectly. Steel parts are first Parkerized, then given a matte-black Cerakote finish, while aluminum parts are hardcoat anodized.I have spent time with two different T1 uppers, both in .338 Lapua, and both were sub-MOA rifles with factory ammo. Recent and extensive range sessions with a T1 Duty, paired with Nightforce's excellent NXS 8-32x56mm riflescope, were a dramatic testament to just how accurate a simple, well-made rifle can be. The largest three-shot group at 500 yards was just over seven inches, but four groups measured under three inches. My smallest group at 1,000 yards was just over seven inches.This is phenomenal accuracy from a rifle that costs $1,700. Keep in mind that most .338 Lapua rifles start at $3,000, and the prices go up from there. The Tactilite line starts at $1,400 for a T1 Ultralite in .338 Lapua and runs all the way up to $2,500 for a T2 in .416 Barrett. The upper was paired with a Mega Arms lower machined from a 7075 billet. It is a very nicely finished part with an integral triggerguard and tensioning screw for tightening upper/lower fit. But the Zel uppers will work with any standard AR lower as long as the manufacturer managed to drill all the holes in the right place.Swapping out a standard AR upper with the T1 upper does require more than pulling the receiver pins. The bolt stop/catch, all its associated little parts, buffer, buffer spring, buffer retainer and buffer retainer spring, need to be removed and the standard hammer and hammer spring replaced with the supplied parts. The larger cartridges have harder primers and require more force for detonation. A stronger spring and heavier hammer make sure the rifle goes boom every time the trigger is pressed. Depending on just how familiar you are with the AR, it takes anywhere from five to 15 minutes to get the new upper and parts installed.With the buffer removed, the bolt can slide back into the buffer tube to extract and chamber a round. The bolt handle screws in and out to facilitate bolt removal and maintenance and allow cleaning the bore from the chamber end. The bolt breaks down into three parts: the bolt head, body and firing-pin assembly. Two massive, opposing lugs lock into receiver mortises to keep all the bang on the inside. An extractor sits on the right lug's face, and a plunger-style ejector kicks cartridges out of the ejection port. There were no failures to extract or eject, but you do have to take care to start the cartridge into the chamber on the front end of the loading cycle.If your upper has an A2 stock, you are good to go, but all six-position stocks must be replaced given the increased recoil. You might as well go big and get the Magpul PRS stock with a cushy Pachmayr recoil pad preinstalled. The PRS is one of the better aftermarket stocks out there and is easily adjustable for both comb height and length of pull. More than just a cool-looking $295 piece of furniture, the PRS lets you customize the stock to your dimensions. Proper stock fit is absolutely critical when the ranges get long and helps reduce felt recoil.Many shooters look at the big, nasty cartridge sliding into the open maw of that massive barrel and instantly wince. But fear not: The T1's recoil — at least in the .338 Lapua Magnum models — is of little consequence, somewhere on the order of a medium-weight .30-'06 sporting rifle. Its substantial weight — over 16 pounds with scope and bipod — and a really good muzzlebrake attenuate recoil wonderfully. Unlike some other Lapuas that will start to beat you up after 50 or 60 rounds, you can fire a T1 until you go broke.Since the bolt, receiver and barrel are all machined from heat-treated steel, the surrounding aluminum bits have little to fear. Only the takedown pins catch any recoil, and after several hundred rounds, the test rifle's pins and the area around those pins showed no signs of undue wear and tear.The only thing that really needs improvement is the trigger. With the extra heavy spring needed for those hard primers, there is only so much you can do to lower the weight. The sample rifle had an average trigger pull weight of three pounds, 13 ounces, and there was a gritty 1"8 inch of slack before the trigger hit a wall and finally broke. Good shooting form can overcome most any problem, but I figured my groups could only get better with something more match-like pinned into the lower.Some other Zel owners I spoke with had reduced the overall pull weight by stoning the components, but the best fix would be a new trigger altogether. And that is what owners of 2012 Zel uppers will get — a redesigned fire-control group with a much lighter, cleaner pull. The entire bolt-tube assembly of the upper was modified to accommodate the new system, but old uppers can be easily retrofitted with the new parts, which Zel is offering to registered owners at manufacturer's cost.Quite a few people will look at a Zel upper and shake their heads, asking "What the heck is the point?" And that is a fair question considering that the upper eliminates semiauto capability and weighs a ton. Look at the Tactilite T1 uppers and think 1,000 yards, not CQB. They are a great way to break into the bigbore, long-range game in an affordable manner with a lower you already have on hand. The uppers are wonderfully designed, high quality, and there is not a MIM part to be seen.Going long with an AR is no longer limited to the last gasps of a 6- or 6.5mm bullet. You can strike steel with authority and, more important, with accuracy by pairing your AR lower with a Zel Custom upper. €¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦€¦..

To make followers of Jesus in our community.
Core Values
As we pursue our passion to follow Jesus, we have eight core values which drive our focus:
- Celebrate through worship. Worship is giving God the honor He deserves. It is something we do when we gather together on Sundays and other events, but is far more than simply attending or even participating. It is a lifestyle that is built on a deep love for God and His plan for our lives. Matthew 22:37-39; John 4:23-24.
- Commission to reach the lost. Before leaving earth, Jesus told His followers to continue communicating the gospel (literally, good news) throughout the world, because God's love is for all people. We share Christ through our friendships with our neighbors, co-workers and family. We are to be Jesus with skin on to the people around us. Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8.
- Commitment to the Word. From cover to cover, the Bible reveals the nature of God. It is a reliable source with no errors which would hinder us from being brought to full relationship with God, and has been given by God to help us understand who He is and to reveal His will to us. Psalm 119:103-104; Colossians 3:16; II Timothy 3:15-16; James 1:21-23.
- Christlike character. God, who is holy, calls us to a life of holiness. Through the Holy Spirit, each person can not only be forgiven of sin, but can even be transformed, empowering us to love God with our whole beings and to love our neighbors as ourselves. True Christian character is Christlikeness. Isaiah 6:1-7; Galatians 5:16-25; Colossians 3:1-17.
- Community. We are a part of the body of Christ, and as a family, it is our responsibility to value, encourage, forgive and hold one another accountable as we follow Jesus. Proverbs 27:17; John 13:34-35; Galatians 6:2; Ephesians 4:11-16.
- Caring and Compassionate. We are a community of faith who cares about the needs of our neighbor and our world. Matthew 25:31-46; James 2:14-19.
- Challenge to empowering ministry. God has created each of us with a unique set of abilities and skills, and intends for us to use those in serving Him. The church is a team, not individual players, working together to bring glory to God. Romans 12; I Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4:11-16.
- Comprehensive stewardship. Everything we have--our time, money and possessions--belongs to God and we use them to honor Him, to bless others, and to provide for the ministries of His church. 1 Timothy 6:17-19

From there, you can expand to read it in the context of the entire chapter by clicking on the button that looks like two equals signs.
These are the beliefs Nazarenes hold to be true. They are common to Christians worldwide:
We believe in one God who has expressed himself in personal ways. We know God's personality as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe the Bible communicates God's saving message and is our reliable authority in all matters related to faith and Christian living.
We believe that all humankind struggles with a downward pull.
We believe that unless we experience God's help and salvation through a faith commitment to Jesus Christ, our future is one of eternal separation from God and all that is good.
We believe the love and grace of God is extended to every person in the provision Jesus Christ made in his death and resurrection. By turning from our own selfishness and trusting Jesus Christ, we experience a new life, being freed from the old patterns of self–destructive acts called sin.
We believe our new life in Jesus Christ is the gateway to transformation. Following our moment of faith in Jesus, we believe there is another moment in which we present our life completely to Christ in order to live under his authority and to experience his transforming power.
We believe that Christian experience is more than a change of mind. It is accompanied by assurance that is grounded in both the Scriptures as well as the inner witness of God's Spirit.
We believe that all who live for Jesus Christ have an eternal future. Our belief in such a future includes both the fulfillment of God's creative purpose as well as the accountability of all persons endowed with the power of choice.

Tutorial on Folding Amazing 3D Origami Snail
Interesting but hard to fold origami snail and now with tutorials.
I've always marvelled at the cleverness of origami – transforming a flat sheet of paper into something that has lots of features such as a face, tail or even petals. The ones that usually impress me the most are those that become life-like 3D objects such as this marvellous origami snail.
It is so intricate but folding one has proven even more difficult than expected lol. I think origami is not really my forte but I still love to share it with you. See if you can make one just like in the pictures.
For instructions, there is a pdf file you can download. There is also another origami snail model at the site that I'm sharing today. I have not tried the second one but I think it's on the same level of difficulty so you might want give it a try if you enjoyed making this one. By the way, I'm not sure about the language that the tutorial is in so if someone is familiar with it, mind sharing that fact with us? You can visit the site using banner below and download the instructions from there.
Last but not least, here is another picture of the origami model. It looks cool alright. Have fun!

EquineAcres is a unique community environment catering to the unfulfilled needs of the equine owner. It is not a new concept, it is only new to the equine market which is massive, particular in Oklahoma. Golf communities, tennis resorts, and weekend retreats are all commonplace, but this well established theme as not been applied to the equine owner even though this special interest group is every bit as affluent and passionate as any golf or tennis player.
Until now, the equine owner has been forced to go to a variety of sources to accomplish what EquineAcres will put into a single, well run, facility. EquineAcres will provide a single source for the boarding, care, representation, serious practice, and playful enjoyment of the owner and their horse. In addition however, it will provide a community atmosphere designed to meet the emotional and social needs of the owners.
Important notes about the Start-up Table:
An overview of Start-up Requirements follows:
The final legal business entity format of EquineAcres is yet to be determined. Lender/investor preferences, along with legal/financial counsel, will make this final determination prior to, and as a condition of, funding.
EquineAcres will be situated on a 160 acre, unimproved, "section" of land within one mile of a State Highway, in Central Oklahoma. This location will be within a 30 minute drive from the following cities: Stillwater, Guthrie, Chandler, Cushing, and Perkins, Oklahoma. It will be within 30 minutes drive from Oklahoma State University and Langston University. This area has been chosen because of its strategic location to several affluent markets and potential customers, ample land availability, and relatively low cost/acre of land. The intent is to secure an immediate purchase of 80 acres, with a two year lease option (including usage rights) on the additional 80 acres.
The 160 acre tract will then be developed to incorporate:
The entire facility will be landscaped and coordinated to express the community retreat theme.

Parking Scofflaws Get the Boot
Seven cars were clamped last year. Last month? Thirty.
Robert Hays found out about the city's parking ticket crackdown the hard way. Hays had 87 unpaid citations. Once his car got slapped with a boot on April 18, he was faced with a decision: Either pay the roughly $4,000 he owed the city or set up separate court dates to contest each violation. Hays chose the latter, and he'll have spent almost two months going to court for several hours nearly every weekday. Hays says instead of the $4,000 he would have had to cough up, he'll pay about $600 in court fees. Many of the tickets have been dismissed, he says, because the officers who issued them haven't attended the hearings.

Odds & Ends
Dateline: Australia—A pair of burglars staged a midnight raid on a house in Melbourne last week. Unfortunately, while the burglars were prying open a window on one side of the house, police were busting down the door on the other. Turns out the house was allegedly being used for growing hydroponic cannabis and detectives were carrying out a raid to arrest the resident, a man in his 20s. Startled to find a squad of heavily armed police officers inside the residence, the burglars fled but were caught a couple of days later, according to Det. Senior-Sgt. Paul Cassidy of Melton CIU. "It is unusual," he said.
