Skinny or wide, with stripes or patterns, ties are the type of gift for a man that's as hip today as it was 50 years ago. Styles might change over time, but any man who wants to look good at work, find a new job or even update an old suit still reaches for a sharp-looking tie. Like a woman's handbag or a great pair of shoes, a man's tie shows his attention to details—the right tie can pull an e … [Read more...]

Mikheil Saakashvili (Georgian: მიხეილ სააკაშვილი, IPA: [mixɛil sɑɑk'ɑʃvili]; born 21 December 1967) is a Georgian politician, the third and current President of Georgia and leader of the United National Movement Party. Involved in the national politics since 1995, Saakashvili became president on 25 January 2004 after President Eduard Shevardnadze resigned in a November 2003 bloodless "Rose Revolution" led by Saakashvili and his political allies, Nino Burjanadze and Zurab Zhvania. Saakashvili was re-elected in the Georgian presidential election on 5 January 2008. He is widely regarded as a pro-NATO and pro-USA leader who spearheaded a series of political and economic reforms. In 2010, he had a 67% approval rating despite being criticized by the opposition for his alleged authoritarian tendencies and electoral fraud.
Some non-Georgian sources spell Saakashvili's first name via the Russian version of the name Mikhail. In Georgia, he is commonly known as "Misha," a hypocorism for Mikheil.
Early life and career
Mikheil Saakashvili was born in Tbilisi, capital of the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic in the Soviet Union, to a Georgian intelligentsia family. His father, Nikoloz Saakashvili, is a physician who practices medicine in Tbilisi and directs a local Balneological Center. His mother, Giuli Alasania, is a historian who lectures at Tbilisi State University.
During University, he served his shortened military service with the Soviet Border Troops in 1989/90. Saakashvili graduated from the Institute of International Relations (Department of International Law) of the Kiev State University (Ukraine) in 1992. He briefly worked as a human rights officer for the interim State Council of Georgia following the overthrow of President Zviad Gamsakhurdia before receiving a fellowship from the United States State Department (via the Edmund S. Muskie Graduate Fellowship Program). He received an LL.M. from Columbia Law School in 1994 and took classes at The George Washington University Law School the following year. In 1995, he also received a diploma from the International Institute of Human Rights in Strasbourg, France.
After graduation, while on internship in the New York law firm of Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler in early 1995, Saakashvili was approached by Zurab Zhvania, an old friend from Georgia who was working on behalf of President Eduard Shevardnadze to enter politics. He stood in the December 1995 elections along with Zhvania, and both men won seats in parliament, standing for the Union of Citizens of Georgia, Shevardnadze's party.
Saakashvili was chairman of the parliamentary committee which was in charge of creating a new electoral system, an independent judiciary and a non-political police force. Opinion surveys recognised him to be the second most popular person in Georgia, behind Shevardnadze. He was named "man of the year"[dubious – discuss] by a panel of journalists and human rights advocates in 1997. In January 2000, Saakashvili was appointed Vice-President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
On 12 October 2000, Saakashvili became Minister of Justice for the government of President Shevardnadze. He initiated major reforms in the Georgian criminal justice and prisons system. This earned praise[dubious – discuss] from international observers and human rights activists. But in mid-2001 he became involved in a major controversy with the Economics Minister Ivane Chkhartishvili, State Security Minister Vakhtang Kutateladze and Tbilisi police chief Ioseb Alavidze, accusing them of profiting from corrupt business deals.
Saakashvili resigned on 5 September 2001, saying that "I consider it immoral for me to remain as a member of Shevardnadze's government." He declared that corruption had penetrated to the very center of the Georgian government and that Shevardnadze lacked the will to deal with it, warning that "current developments in Georgia will turn the country into a criminal enclave in one or two years."
In the United National Movement
Having resigned from the government and quit the Shevardnadze-run Union of Citizens of Georgia party, Saakashvili founded the United National Movement (UNM) in October 2001, a right-of-center political party with a touch of nationalism, to provide a focus for part of the Georgian reformists leaders. In June 2002, he was elected as the Chairman of the Tbilisi Assembly ("Sakrebulo") following an agreement between the United National Movement and the Georgian Labour Party. This gave him a powerful new platform from which to criticize the government.
Georgia held parliamentary elections on 2 November 2003 which were denounced by local and international observers as being grossly rigged. Saakashvilli claimed that he had won the elections (a claim supported by independent exit polls), and urged Georgians to demonstrate against Shevardnadze's government and engage in nonviolent civil disobedience against the authorities. Saakashvili's UNM and Burdjanadze-Democrats united to demand the ouster of Shevardnadze and the rerun of the elections.
Massive political demonstrations were held in Tbilisi in November, with over 100,000 people participating and listening to speeches by Saakashvili and other opposition figures. The Kmara ("Enough!") youth organization (a Georgian counterpart of the Serbian "Otpor") and several NGOs, like Liberty Institute, were active in all protest activities. After an increasingly tense two weeks of demonstrations, Shevardnadze resigned as President on 23 November, to be replaced on an interim basis by parliamentary speaker Nino Burjanadze. While the revolutionary leaders did their best to stay within the constitutional norms, many called the change of government a popular coup dubbed by Georgian media as the Rose Revolution.
Saakashvili's "storming of Georgia's parliament" in 2003 "put U.S. diplomats off guard. .... [Saakashvili] ousted a leader the U.S. had long backed, Eduard Shevardnadze." Seeking support, Saakashvili went outside the U.S. State Department. He hired Randy Scheunemann, now Sen. John McCain's top foreign-policy adviser, as a lobbyist and used Daniel Kunin of USAID and the NDI as a full-time adviser.
On 24 February 2004 the United National Movement and the United Democrats had amalgamated. The new political movement was named the National Movement - Democrats (NMD). The movement's main political priorities include raising pensions and providing social services to the poor, its main base of support; fighting corruption; and increasing state revenue.
Georgia–Russia relations
Saakashvili held an official meeting[when?] with the Prime Minister of of Russia Vladimir Putin, in his residence in Novo-Ogaryovo. The presidents discussed the issues of aviation regulations between the two countries.[citation needed] This was Putin's last meeting as the President of Russia, having been succeeded by Dimitry Medvedev.
However, a series of clashes between Georgian and South Ossetian forces resulted in Saakashvili ordering an attack on Tskhinvali. In response, the Russian army invaded South Ossetia, later followed by the invasion of Georgia proper. The two counterparts were led to a ceasefire agreement and a six-point peace plan, due to the French President's mediation. On 26 August the Russian president, Dmitry Medvedev, signed a decree recognizing Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent states. On August 29, 2008, in response to Russia's recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Deputy Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze announced that Georgia had broken diplomatic relations with Russia.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev holds Saakashvili responsible for the 2008 South Ossetia war, and states that Saakashvili is responsible for the collapse of the Georgian state. Medvedev has stated "(a)s soon as Georgia gets a new leader we will have every opportunity to restore ties."
Personal life
Saakashvili married Dutch-born Sandra Roelofs, whom he met in 1993. The couple has two sons, Eduard and Nikoloz.
Apart from his native Georgian, he speaks fluent English, French, Russian, and Ukrainian,and has some command of Ossetian and Spanish.
Saakashvili is played by Cuban-American Hollywood actor Andy García in the 2010 Hollywood film 5 Days of War by Finnish-American film director Renny Harlin. The film will tell the story of Saakashvili and the events during the 2008 South Ossetia war.

An extra date has been added in Redcar. Come along and have your say.
Wednesday 23rd March
17:30 – 19:30
Meeting Room 1 – Redcar Primary Care Hopsital, West Dyke Rd, Redcar, Cleveland TS10 4NW
This weekend we are in North Ormesby at the Trinity centre. Find out more about plans to replace walk in centres with extended access to GP services.
People living in the North Ormesby area will be able to find out more about plans by the local NHS to replace the walk in centre at Low Grange with improved access to GP services at a consultation event on this Saturday.
You will find us at Trinity Centre, James Street, North Ormesby, Middlesbrough, TS3 6LD, 11am til 1pm.
People are encouraged to reserve a place by contacting 01642 745401 or visiting www.makinghealthsimple.org.
NHS South Tees Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) plans and funds the majority of health services on behalf of the local population and has launched a public consultation on changes to urgent care services across Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland.
The CCG is planning to replace walk in centres at Low Grange in Eston and Resolution at North Ormesby with improved access to GP services from either 4, 6 or 8 extended hours GP centres that will be open 7 days a week.
The CCG wants to make better use of its £8.4 million urgent care budget by simplifying services, reducing duplication, and ensuring that the free to call NHS 111 service plays a more prominent role in the future of urgent care services.
Amanda Hume, chief officer of NHS South Tees CCG said: "The CCG is not reducing its budget for urgent care services. We want to make best use of this critical resource, and respond to the significant feedback around improving GP access across the whole of our population, 7 days a week.
"In order to do this, the CCG cannot also maintain the two walk in centres as they currently exist. Therefore from 31 March 2017 we will be replacing these services with a number of extended hours GP centres across the whole of the South Tees area. Patients who are registered at the walk in centres are not affected by this consultation."
The consultation is also seeking local people's views on:
- Introducing a GP in front of A&E to treat or signpost appropriate patients to alternative primary care services, freeing up A&E for those with the greatest need;
- The number and potential location of extended hours GP centres that will offer access to GP services after 6pm and at weekends.
This follows extensive engagement with local people and key partners, which began in July 2015 and gathered the views and experiences of over 1,500 local people. The CCG were keen to understand local experiences of urgent care services across South Tees, including:
- GP practices;
- GP out of hours services;
- Minor injuries units (MIUs) (James Cook University Hospital and Redcar Primary Care Hospital);
- Walk in centres (Resolution at North Ormesby and Low Grange at Eston);
- Pharmacies;
- Self care (looking after yourself).
A number of key themes emerged from the engagement phase. The engagement report is available on the consultation website –www.makinghealthsimple.org.
These were:
- Many people find the current system confusing;
- Most people do try and care for themselves before using services;
- When they do use a service, most people's preference is to see a GP;
- Most people get an appointment with their GP when they need one (although some might not get one on the same day);
- Most people will obtain health information from their GP practice, the internet or a pharmacist;
- Many people haven't heard of NHS 111;
- The majority of people who phoned 111, said it was a positive experience;
- People were concerned that the number of questions asked by NHS 111 call handlers caused delays in dealing with their problem;
- The majority of people reported having a positive experience of using local walk in centres;
- Most people said that Accident & Emergency should only be used by patients who have a life threatening condition;
- People believe that it is important that their health records can be shared between services.
As a result, the CCG has formed a number of options for the 'Making Health Simple: Right Place, First Time' consultation.
The options for the consultation are described below in more detail. In summary, the CCG wants local people to have their say on:
- How long seven day GP access should be extended by;
- How many extended GP centres there are and their potential locations;
- The introduction of a GP working in front of the A&E department at James Cook University Hospital, to relieve pressure within A&E by treating or signposting patients to other GP services according to the urgency and nature of their health need.
Options the CCG is consulting the public on
Option One
- 6 Extended Hours GP Centres (6pm to 8pm weekdays and 8am to 8pm at weekends, replacing walk in centres at North Ormesby and Eston Grange);
- GP working at the front of the A&E department at James Cook University Hospital;
- GP out of hours service reduced to 8pm to 8am, 7 days a week;
- GP led minor injuries units with x-ray (James Cook University Hospital open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and Redcar Primary Care Hospital open 8am to 9.30pm, 7 days a week – reduced from 24 hour opening to reflect the significant reduction in patient demand after 9.30pm).
Option Two*
- 4 Extended Hours GP Centres (6pm to 9.30pm weekdays and 8am to 9.30pm at weekends, replacing walk in centres at North Ormesby and Eston Grange);
- GP working at the front of the A&E department at James Cook University Hospital;
- GP out of hours service reduced to 9.30pm to 8am, 7 days a week;
- GP led minor injuries units with x-ray (James Cook University Hospital open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and Redcar Primary Care Hospital open 8am to 9.30pm, 7

The United States and Italy worked together on a sting operation which resulted in 24 arrests, 7 in New York, and 24 in Italy. The Gambino's, New York's organized crime family worked with Italy's influential 'Ndrangheta organized crime ring in the hopes of smuggling cocaine and heroin. The Gambino's were to provide cocaine to Italy, and in turn, the Italians were going to smuggle heroin to America.
Police used wiretaps and an undercover agent who posed as a mobster in the Brooklyn-based syndicate. They prevented the delivery of 500 kilograms of cocaine intended for Italy. Drugs were hidden in pineapples, frozen fish, and canned coconuts.
In 2012, one of the 'Ndrangheta members visited Franco Lupoi in Brooklyn. Court papers documented him saying he knew a crooked customs agent in Italy who "would guarantee the safe arrival of container ships containing contraband."
The 'Ndrangheta were in the process of shipping 1,000 pounds of cocaine, worth $1 billion on the street between South America, Italy and the U.S. Several hundred thousand dollars were also seized.
U.S. attorney Loretta Lynch said, "The 'Ndrangheta is an exceptionally dangerous, sophisticated and insidious criminal organization, with tentacles stretching from Italy to countries around the world."
Head of Italian police's central operative service echoed Lynch's words by saying "the 'Ndrangheta can and has to be considered one of the most powerful organizations in the world for handling of international drug trafficking."
Lupoi, an alleged Gambino associate pleaded not guilty to charges including an international heroin conspiracy. He's held without bail. The alleged 'Ndrangheta member Raffaele Valente, a U.S. legal resident and Italian citizen also pleaded not guilty the the hearing.
Drugs and addiction are a worldwide problem. If you are suffering from addiction and wish to get help, you're not alone. There are trustworthy drug rehab centers that can help guide you back to sobriety and mitigate your risk for legal trouble.

Capstone seminars are problem based, project-oriented courses for senior Environmental Studies students. They require self-initiated, collaborative, interdisciplinary and integrative student work. The capstone entails students working for a client (actual or hypothetical), and using an applied approach to learning. Students work collaboratively on a current environmental problem, including characterizing the problem, analyzing possible solutions, implementing some solutions, and publicly presenting the results.
The aim is to improve students' ability to synthesize and integrate material from a range of disciplines while deploying diverse methodologies and vocabularies in a problem-solving context. The capstone relates theoretical knowledge and skills to practical problems, while students work collaboratively in real world situations to research and communicate results to a variety of audiences.
Each capstone works as a single, problem-solving team under the leadership of an instructor. Capstones meet weekly, and much of the work may be done outside of class in interviewing stakeholders, analyzing data, visiting sites, and so on. Experts may be brought in to brief the seminar on particular aspects of the problem under discussion. At the end of the term, the research projects are presented to the client, students, ES faculty and interested members of the community.
You can view most of the past capstone presentations on our YouTube channel.

that notes should only be issued on the security of some valuable thing expressly pledged for their redemption, would really be efficacious as a precaution. But the theory takes no account of another evil, which is incident to the notes of the most solvent firm, company, or government: that of being depreciated in value from being issued in excessive quantity. The assignats, during the French Revolution, were an example of a currency grounded on tlese principles. The assignats "represented" an immense amount of highly valuable property, namely the lands of the crown, the church, the monasteries, and the emigrants; amounting possibly to half the territory of France. They were, in fact, orders or assignments on this mass of land. The revolutionary government had the idea of "coining" these lands into money; but, to do them justice, they did not originally contemplate the immense multiplication of issues to which they were eventually driven by the failure of all other financial resources. They imagined that the assignats would come rapidly back to the issuers in exchange for land, and that they should be able to reissue them continually until the lands were all disposed of, without having at any time more than a very moderate quantity in circulation. Their hope was frustrated: the land did not sell so quickly as they expected; buyers were not inclined to invest their money in possessions which were likely to be resumed without compensation if the Revolution succumbed : the bits of
aper which represented land, becoming prodigiously multiplied, could no more keep up their value than the land itself would have done if it had all been brought to market at once: and the result was that it at last required an assignat of six hundred francs to pay for a pound of butter.
The example of the assignats has been said not to be conclusive, because an assignat only represented land in general, but not a definite quantity of land. To have prevented their depreciation, the proper course, it is affirmed, would ho
een to have made a valua.
tion of all the confiscated property at its metallic value, and to have issued assignats up to, but not beyond, that limit; giving to the holders a right to demand any piece of land, at its re. gistered valuation, in exchange for assignats to the same amount. There can be no question about the superiority of this plan over the one actuall adopted. Had this course been | lowed, the assignats could never have been depreciated to the inordinate degree they were; for—as they would have retained all their purchasing power in relation to land, however much they might have fallen in respect to other things—before they had lost very much of their market value, they would probably have been brought in to be exchanged for land. It must be remembered, however, that their not being depreciated would presuppose that no greater number of them continued in circulation than would have circulated if they had been convertible into cash. However convenient, therefore, in a time of revolution, this currency convertible into land on demand might have been, as a contrivance for selling rapidly a great quantity of land with the least possible sacrifice; it is difficult to see what advantage it would have, as the permanent system of a country, over a currency convertible into coin: while it is not at all difficult to see what would be its disadvantages; since land is far more variable in value than gold and silver; and besides, land, to most persons, being rather an incumbrance than a desirable possession, o: to be converted into money, people would submit to a much greater depreciation, before demanding land, than they will before demanding gold or silver.*
§ 4. Another of the fallacies from which the advocates of an inconvertible
* Among the schemes of currency to which, strange to say, intelligent writers have been found to give their sanction, one is as follows: that the state should receive in pledge or mortgage, any kind or amount of property, such as land, stock, &c., and should advance to the owners inconvertible paper money to the estimated value. Such a currency would viot even have the recommendations of the eurrency derive support, is the notion that an increase of the currency quickens industry. This idea was set afloat by Hume, in his Essay on Money, and has had many devoted adherents since; witness the Birmingham currency school, of whom Mr. Attwood was at one time the most conspicuous representative. Mr. Attwood maintained that a rise of prices produced by an increase of paper currency, stimulates every producer to his utmost exertions, and brings all the capital and labour of the country into complete employment: and that this has invariably happened in all periods of rising prices, when the rise was on a sufficiently great scale. I presume, however, that the inducement which, according to Mr. Attwood, excited this unusual ardour in all persons engaged in production, must have been the expectation of getting more of commodities generally, more real wealth, in exchange for the produce of their labour, and not merely more pieces of paper. This expectation, however, must have been, by the very terms of the supposition, disappointed, since, all prices being supposed to rise equally, no one was really better paid for his goods than before. Those who agree with Mr. Attwood could only succeed in winning people on to these unwonted exertions, by a prolongation of what would in fact be a delusion; contriving matters so, that by a progressive rise of money prices, every producer shall always seem to be in *. very act of obtaining an increased remuneration which he never, in reality, does obtain. It is unnecessary to advert to any other of the objections to this plan, than that of its total impracticability. It calculates on finding the whole world persisting for ever in the belief that more pieces of paper are more riches, and never discovering that, with all their paper, they cannot buy more of
imaginary assignats supposed in the text; since those into whose hands the notes were paid by the persons who received them, could not return them to the Government, and demand in exchange land or stock which was only pledged, not alienated. There would be no reflux of such assignats as those, and their depreciation would be indefinite.
anything than they could before. No such mistake was made during any of the periods of high prices, on the experience of which this school lays so much stress. At the periods which Mr. Attwood mistook for times of prosperity, and which were simply (as all periods of high prices, under a convertible currency, must be) times of speculation, the speculators did not think they were growing rich because the high prices would last, but because they would not last, and because whoever contrived to realize while they did last, would find himself, after the recoil, in possession of a greater number of pounds sterling, without their having become of less value. If, at the close of the speculation, an issue of paper had been made, sufficient to keep prices up to the point which they attained when at the highest, no one would have been more disappointed than the speculators; since the gain which they thought to have reaped by realizing in time (at the expense of their competitors, who bought when they sold, and had to sell after the revulsion) would have faded away in their hands, and instead of it they would have got nothing except a few more paper tickets to count by. Hume's version of the doctrine differed in a slight degree from Mr. Attwood's. He thought that all commodities would not rise in price simultaneously, and that some persons therefore would obtain a real gain, by getting more money for what they had to sell, while the things which they wished to buy might not yet have risen. And those who would reap this gain wonld always be (he seems to think) the first comers. It seems obvious, however, that for every person who thus gains more than usual, there is necessarily some other person who gains less. The loser, if things took place as Hume supposes, would be the seller of the commodities which are slowest to rise; who, by the supposition, parts with his goods at the old rices, to purchasers who have already i. y the new. This seller has obtained for his commodity only the accustomed quantity of money, while there are already some things of which that money will no longer purchase as much as before. If, therefore, he knows what is going on, he will raise his price, and then, the buyer will not have the gain, which is supposed to stimulate his industry. But if, on the contrary, the seller does not know the state of the case, and only discovers it when he finds, in laying his money out, that it does not go so far, he then obtains less than the ordinary remuneration for his labour and capital; and if the other dealer's industry is encouraged, it should seem that his must, from the opposite cause, be inpaired.
§ 5. There is no way in which a general and permanent rise of prices, or in other words, depreciation of money, can benefit anybody, except at the expense of somebody else...The substitution of paper for metallic currency is a national gain; any further increase of paper beyond this is but a form of .. -
An issue of notes is a manifest gain to the issuers, who, until the notes are returned for payment, obtain the use of them as if they were a real capital: and so long as the notes are no permanent addition to the currency, but merely supersede gold or silver to the same amount, the gain of the issuer is a loss to no one : it is obtained by saving to the community the expense of the more costly material. But if there is no gold or silver to be superseded—if the notes are added to the currency, instead of being substituted for the metallic part of it—all holders of currency lose, by the depreciation of its value, the exact equivalent of what the issuer gains. A tax is virtually levied on them for his benefit. It will We objected by some, that gains are also made by the producers and dealers who, by means of the increased issue, are accommodated with loans. Theirs, however, is not an additional gain, but a portion of that which is reaped by the issuer at the expense of all possessors of money. The profits arising from the contribution levied upon the public, he does not keep to himself, but divides with his customers.
But besides the benefit reaped by the issuers, or by others through them at the expense of the public generally, there is another unjust gain obtained by a larger class, namely by those who are under fixed pecuniary obligations. All such persons are freed, by a depreciation of the currency, from a portion of the burthen of their debts or other engagements: in other words, part of the property of their creditors is gratuitously transferred to them. On a superficial view it may be imagined that this is an advantage to industry; since the productive classes are great borrowers, and generally owe larger debts to the unproductive (if we include among the latter all persons not actually in business) than the unproductive classes owe to them; especially if the national debt be included. It is only thus that a general rise of prices can be a source of benefit to producers and dealers; by diminishing the pressure of their fixed burthens. And this might be accounted an advantage, if integrity and good faith were of no importance to the world, and to industry and commerce in particular. . Not many, however, have been found to say that the currency ought to be depreciated on the simple ground of its being desirable to rob the national creditor and private creditors of a part of what is in their bond. The schemes which have tended that way have almost always had some ap
earance of special and circumstantial justification, such as the necessity of compensating for a prior injustice committed in the contrary direction.
ing to the views and objects of the particular writer, was represented to have averaged thirty, fifty, or even more than fifty per cent: and the conclusion was, that either we ought to return to this depreciated currency, or to strike off from the national debt, and from mortgages or other private debts of old standing, a percentage corresponding to the estimated amount of the depreciation. To this doctrine, the following was the answer usually made. Granting that, by returning to cash payments without lowering the standard, an injustice was done to debtors, in holding them liable for the same amount of a currency enhanced in value, which they
had borrowed while it was depreciated;
it is now too late to make reparation for this injury. The debtors and creditors of to-day are not the debtors and creditors of 1819: the lapse of years has entirely altered the pecuniary relations of the community; and it being impossible now to ascertain the particular persons who were either benefited or injured, to attempt to retrace Our o: would be not redressing a wrong, but superadding a second act of wide-spread injustice to the one already committed. This argument is certainly conclusive on the practical question; but it places the honest conclusion on too narrow and too low a ground. It concedes that the measure of 1819, called Peel's Bill, by which cash payments were resumed at the Original standard of 3l. 17s. 103d, was really the injustice it was said to be. This is an admission wholly opposed to the truth. Parliament had no alternative; it was absolutely bound to adhere to the acknowledged standard; as may be shown on three distinct grounds, two of fact, and one of principle. . The reasons of fact are these. In the first place, it is not true that the debts, private or public, incurred during the Bank restriction, were contracted in a currency of lower value than that in which the interest is now paid. It is indeed true that the suspension of the obligation to pay in specie, did put it in the power of the Bank to depreciate the currency. It is true also that tle Bank really exercised that power,
though to a far less extent than is often pretended; since the difference between the market price of gold and the Mint valuation, during the greater part of the interval, was very trifling, and when it was greatest, during the last five years of the war, did not much exceed thirty per cent. To the extent of that difference, the currency was depre. ciated, that is, its value was below that of the standard to which it professed to adhere. But the state of Europe at that time was such—there was so unusual an absorption of the precious metals, by hoarding, and in the military chests of the vast armies which then desolated the Continent, that the value of the standard itself was very considerably raised: and the best authorities, among whom it is suf. ficient to name Mr. Tooke, have, after an elaborate investigation, satisfied themselves that the difference between paper and bullion was not greater than the enhancement in value of gold itself, and that the paper, though depreciated relatively to the then value of gold, did not sink below the ordinary value, at other times, either of gold or of a convertible paper. If this be true (and the evidences of the fact are conclusively stated in Mr. Tooke's History of Prices) the foundation of the whole case against the fundholder and other creditors on the ground of depreciation is subverted. But, secondly, even if the currency had really been lowered in value at each period of the Bank restriction, in the same degree in which it was depreciated in relation to its standard, we must remember that a part only of the national debt, or of other permament engagements, was incurred during the Bank restriction. A large part had been contracted before 1797; a still larger during the early years of
the restriction, when the difference be
tween paper and gold was yet small, To the holders of the former part, an injury was done, by paying the interest for twenty-two years in a depreciated currency: those of the second, suffered an injury during the years in which the interest was paid in a currency more depreciated than that in which the loans were contracted. To have resumed cash payments at a lower standard wo }. been to perpetuate the injury to these two classes of creditors, in order to avoid giving an undue benefit to a third class, who had lent their money during the few years of greatest depreciation. As it is, there was an underpayment to one set of persons, and an overpayment to another. The late Mr. Mushet took the trouble to make an arithmetical comparison between the two amounts. He ascertained by calculation, that if an account had been made out in 1819, of what the fundholders had gained and lost by the variation of the paper currency, from its standard, they would have been found as a body to have been losers; so that if any compensation was due on the ground of depreciation, it would not be from the fundholders collectively, but to them. Thus it is with the facts of the case. But these reasons of fact are not the strongest. There is a reason of principle, still more powerful. Suppose that, not a part of the debt merely, but the whole, had been contracted in a depreciated currency, depreciated not only in comparison with its standard, but with its own value before and after; and that we were now paying the interest of this debt in a currency of fifty or even a hundred per cent more valuable than that in which it was contracted. What difference would this make in the obligation of paying it, if the condition that it should be so paid was part of the original comact? Now this is not only truth, but ess than the truth. The compact stipulated better terms for the fundholder than he has received. During the whole continuance of the Bank re
striction, there was a parliamentary pledge, by which the legislature was as much bound as any legislature is capable of binding itself, that cash payments should be resumed on the original footing, at farthest in six months after the conclusion of a general peace. This was therefore an actual condition of every loan; and the terms of the loan were more favourable in consideration of it. Without some such stipulation, the Government could not have expected to borrow unless on the terms on which loans are made to the native princes of India. If it had been understood and avowed that, after, borrowing , the money, the standard at which it was computed might be too, lowered, to any extent which to the "collective wisdom" of a legislature of borrowers might seem fit—who can say what rate of interest would have been a sufficient inducement to persons of common sense to risk their savings in such an adventure? However much the fundholders had gained by the resumption of cash payments, the terms of the contract insured their giving ample value for it. They gave value for more than they received; since cash payments were not resumed in six o but in as many years, after the peace. So that waving all our arguments except the last, and conceding all the facts asserted on the other side of the question, the fundholders, instead of being unduly benefited, are the injured party; and would have a claim to compensation, if such claims were not very properly barred by the impossibility of adjudication, and by the salutary general maxim of law and policy, that questions should at * time or another come to an en

The Traffic Injury Research Foundation USA focuses on road user behaviors to deliver high-quality road safety research services. It is an expansion into the U.S. of the Traffic Injury Research Foundation of Canada, established in 1964 and internationally recognized for its accomplishments in a wide range of subject related to identifying the causes of road crashes and developing programs and policies to address them effectively. ]
TIRF recently published its 51st annual report with interesting statistics on teenage driving, women driving while intoxicated, and information on the development a multi-disciplinary knowledge transfer (KT) model that can accommodate the complexities of the road safety environment and the diverse practitioners that work within it. TIRF USA is about to embark on an evaluation of the ignition interlock program in Minnesota. The goal of this project is to examine the effectiveness of the ignition interlock program in Minnesota and to provide a comprehensive report to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Office of Traffic Safety. Following the implementation of a pilot ignition interlock program, Minnesota implemented a statewide ignition interlock program in 2011. The two primary goals of the program are to prevent impaired driving and reduce DWI re-offenses. This evaluation is critical as it represents the first evaluation of the program since its statewide implementation. The evaluation will include advanced statistical analysis to determine if the program is having the desired effect of deterring motorists from driving while impaired and thereby enhancing road safety. Program participation rates as well as profiles of program participants will be explored. The evaluation will identify characteristics of those drivers most likely to complete the program successfully and those who are most likely to continue to attempt to drive while intoxicated despite the interlock being placed on their vehicle. The study will also provide information on recidivism rates for those all individuals who are eligible for the interlock program. The evaluation is expected to be completed in September 2015.

On 7th June 2016, Hillary Clinton clinched the nomination to be the presumptive presidential candidate of the Democratic Party. It is a historic nomination, as she became the first female presidential candidate for a major party in the United States. She broke the glass ceiling and won fair and square because she is the best candidate.
Hillary has been in politics since her college days in the late 1960s. Her classmates at Wellesley College elected her to be the first student commencement speaker in 1969. You can listen to her speech here: Commencement Speech.
In his endorsement of Hillary on 9th June, President Obama said, "In fact, I don't think there's ever been someone so qualified to hold this office". I agree. You can listen to his endorsement speech here: Obama Endorsement.
Hillary has been fighting for the good of others since the 1960s; I hope Americans give her a chance to continue this fight from the highest office.

February 12, 2011 Jamie Cullum News 1 Comment
Just a little warning, there is quite a bit of swearing from Jamie in this audio, whilst he tells us all a funny story.
This was my favourite song of the night, and I loved how the audience all gushed when the song started.
I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did 🙂

Sometimes we can do everything right and still the Enemy of our soul scores a point. It's not that God doesn't care, or is incapable of intervening, rather it comes down to something in us missing the ball. Eventually we all must encounter this experience, since in this world we are far from perfect. Even St Paul may have had some issues, and we know Timothy did from Paul's advice to him to take wine for the sake of his stomach!
Our health and our prosperity are perhaps the two area where Satan will attack most, since they are the areas most of us are most vulnerable in. We can generally cope if our health is intact, but then the bills start piling up and we scream "God these BILLS!!!" He gives us prosperity and we find ourselves with sickness in our lives, either in ourselves, or in those we love.
Sometimes it's easier when the sickness is in our own body. We can rationalise that. But having to sit by whilst a loved one, even a saved loved one, is diagnosed with cancer, diabetes or some other illness with no "cure" can be even worse.
I wrote recently on the difference between Truth and Fact, and the point I was trying to make is that facts are subject to change. Truth is, by it's nature, unchangeable. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6) He was also heard to say "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." Either that was very profound, or Jesus had no concept of correct grammar. I suspect the former. Truth is unshakeable. If we place our trust in the Truth of God's Word, which He places above His Name, then our foundation is solid.
For us to trust God in our lives, we need a foundation of Truth. When that is in place, we can endure whatever the enemy throws at us. The house may shake, but it will ultimately stand.
Building a relationship on fact alone when talking about God is like building on sand. If I base my relationship with Him on the fact that there is money in my bank account and health in my body, then I am set up for a fall. But if I build it on the Truth that if He is with me I am prosperous whether I have money or not and He has healed me according to His promises in Isaiah and Peter, then whatever my bank balance or my doctor may say the Truth will hold me firm.
So the circumstances will come in this life where we have the occasion to accept or reject Truth because of what the facts tell us. We then start to live under the circumstances, and we are tossed about in the storm. It is infinitely better to anchor deep, hold on to the Truth, and ride out the onslaught of facts. They can always be changed. The Truth is eternal.
So smile at your issues. Laugh at your problems. Trust Jesus with your heart in spite of the circumstances, and live life to its fullest.

Latest Invention: Cortex Cast - New-Gen 3-D Printed Cast to Help Heal Broken Bones?
Those who at least once had a broken limb know how wearing a cast can be unpleasant. Not only are they bulky, they're also uncomfortable.
The same problem has been with Jake Evill, who once broke his hand while trying to resuce his friend in a fight.
The graduate of Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand, has worn a plaster cast several months and it was extremely uncomfortable for him. He decided to do something about it.
While searching for an alternative he didn't managed to find one and come up with the idea of making his own cast. Evill named his creation Cortex cast.
To make the cast, the designer used a 3D printer. The 3D-printed brace is comfortable to wear due to the fact that it follows the shapes of the arm.
Despite the fact that this is just a concept, Cortex represents an injury-localized exoskeleton that is not only comfy, but also extremely lightweight, washable, ventilated and even recyclable.
Evill started by studying the structure of the human bone. He was inspired by the trabecular, which are small lattice-shaped structures that make up the inner tissue of a bone.
His idea is that patients with fractured bones can be x-rayed and the injured limb 3D-scanned. Afterwards the computer would identify the optimal pattern and design of the cast, with tougher material used for the fractured area of the bone to offer more support.
The current prototype was created with the help of a jerry-rigged 3D scanner that Evill managed to hack from an Xbox Kinect.
To be able to read the area, the designer manually rotated the makeshift scanner around his arm. This meant that the scanned shape required some touch ups in a software such as Zbrush.
Then the cast was dispatched to Shapeways in the Netherlands, where it was printed in nylon plastic.
The outcome is a 3 millimeters-thick plastic cast that weights only 500 grams. Next the designer looks forward to working on the optimal material for the cast and improvement of the scanning process.
Then he plans to work with a hospital in order to carry out trials of the prototype. Finally, if everything goes well, Evill will search for a manufacturer able to help him make the Cortex Cast.Powered by www.infoniac.com

Nerd alert. I love talking about grocery budgets. Why? It's one of the easiest budgets to trim, and yet it's also one of the easiest budgets to blow if you're not on top of it.
Over the last couple of years, we've tried a lot of different strategies for reducing our budget (more on that here), and one of the most efficient ways to trim the budget is to know where to buy your groceries.
So, which grocery store has the best deals?
Browse various forums or groups and there's a lot of info about what to buy (or not buy) at certain grocery stores such as Costco, Aldi, Trader Joe's, Kroger, Amazon, etc. All this info is helpful – if you live in a city with these stores and shop the same grocery lists as your fellow savers.
See what I'm getting at here?
We all live in unique cities, have access to different stores and markets, and all eat so differently. What makes a great frugal meal plan for one family may not jive with your lifestyle, and vice versus.
So rather than just talk about individual stores – I thought it would be more helpful to talk about how we figured out where to buy groceries for our unique family – and then I'll also share where we shop.
Figuring Out the Best Grocery Deals
Figuring out the best place to shop is straightforward.
Ask Around
First, ask around with your frugal-minded friends who live near you. Where do they find deals? Where do they like to shop? This will narrow your choices.
Track Your Expenses
Shop at a few different places and save your receipts. Start a spreadsheet where you track regular food purchases and the per unit cost at each store. You don't need to document your whole list, but do track the items you buy regularly like eggs, meat, produce, dairy, household items, etc. Do this for a couple of months to average out sale prices, etc. and then review your results.
Here's a snippet of what ours looks like – it's an ongoing document – but you get the idea of how we lay it out, etc.
Think Macro
Track your expenses to discover the one or two (or three) stores that generally have the best deals for the items you buy regularly. Then, think macro. Sure, you could drive around town visiting 5 or 6 stores to get the very best deals on all your items, but are the savings really worth the extra 2 hours it took you to save a few bucks? Your time is valuable. Optimize it.
2. Know Your Base Line Costs
Once you track your expenses for a month or two, you will start to just "know" what your base line costs are. For example, you'll start to know (without looking at your spreadsheet) that $0.78/lb is a great deal for chicken, or that cheese under $2.50/lb is worth grabbing.
Soon, it will become easy to look at your shopping list for the month or week and know where to shop.
3. Plan Ahead
In addition to knowing where to shop for groceries, one of the biggest helps with trimming our grocery budget has been monthly meal planning (or even weekly meal planning if it's a busy time). Inventory your kitchen for what you already have, build a menu based on that so you minimize food waste, write your grocery list, check out websites or flyers for any great sales, and shop where it makes sense.
Lots more ideas on cutting the grocery budget here.
So, What Groceries Do We Buy Where?
Here are the best grocery stores to find a deal in our neighborhood, for how we eat (we eat mostly low-carb/keto/paleo-ish, with minimal processed foods…. well, the adults anyway. We do buy grains and some processed foods for the kids.)
Grocery stores near us (greater Everett, WA area):
- Safeway
- Albertsons
- WinCo
- Costco
- Fred Meyer (Kroger)
- Amazon
- Trader Joe's
- Grocery Outlet
- Central Market
- Walmart
The cliffs notes version is we do our "big trips" at WinCo, with smaller one-off trips to Fred Meyer and occasionally Trader Joe's, Costco, and Central Market. Here's the more detailed breakdown.
Safeway & Albertsons
Due to price, selection, location, and quality Safeway and Albertsons were immediately crossed off for us. I don't buy anything there. I was surprised to see they were overall more expensive – in our previous neighborhood Albertsons did have good deals and we shopped there often. These two are also farther away (making the cost of driving there an additional cost), so it was a simple choice to avoid them.
For our family, WinCo is the overall winner and it is where we do the bulk of our shopping. For us, WinCo has the best deals on:
- Produce (though shelf life is shorter than other markets)
- Dairy
- Meat
- Staples (bread, canned goods, spices, bulk items, oils, etc).
- Tea
- TP and household items
- Beer/wine – not a huge selection, but competitive prices
- Soda/sparkling water
- Frozen items
Items I do not buy at WinCo are:
- Specialty items such as coconut aminos or coconut milk – they don't have the brands we prefer and the cost is higher
- Coffee – cost is competitive, quality is lower
Another "downside" to WinCo is they do not accept credit cards – so if you're travel hacking and need to use your credit card for minimum spend, you have to be creative.
The biggest lesson I learned through tracking grocery costs is that Costco is NOT the best deal on everything for our family. Some items we buy because the price is the best. Others we buy because the quality exceeds other brands or because of their fantastic return policy. Based on our findings, our Costco list quickly reduced to a few key items, including:
- Diapers and wipes (but also check Amazon!)
- Nuts
- Coffee (best quality and value)
- Sardines
- Roasted chicken
- Milk, eggs & cheese (same price as WinCo, but if we're there we'll buy it)
- Frozen blueberries
- Kirkland frozen pizzas (same price as WinCo, but if we're there we'll buy it)
- Clothing
- Electronics (great prices and warranties)
- Car batteries
Items we no longer buy at Costco are:
- Produce (more expensive and seems to go bad before we can eat it ALL)
- Meat (occasionally we do buy seafood for special occasions)
- Paper products – we can often find better deals at Walmart, WinCo or Amazon
- Toothpaste & personal care items – my husband and I are still debating if this is a good buy at Costco. What do you think?
Fred Meyer
Fred Meyer is the closest to our home, meaning we can easily walk or bike ride for smaller trips – this cuts the cost down! We frequently go to Fred Meyer for smaller grocery trips and find decent deals for:
- Produce (better quality than WinCo, but a bit more expensive)
- Beer/wine – great selection, standard prices
- Meat – Look for the specials and sales and stock up the freezer
- Milk, eggs, cheese – They often have great sales on milk and cheese. We prefer the quality of the eggs here, as well
- Canned goods, especially Kroger brand
Things we don't buy at Fred Meyer
- Clothing/shoes
- Tea/coffee
- Packaged foods – we don't buy a lot of packaged foods in general, but these are more expensive in our market
Trader Joe's
Trader Joe's is really good at making shopping fun (hence so many impulse buys!). If I can stay focused on my list, there are some good deals such as:
- Wine and beer (they have the best per ounce wine cost on their boxed wines!)
- Deli cheese (bries, goat cheese, etc.)
- Tea and coffee
- Nuts, chocolate
- Specialty items like coconut aminos, coconut milk, hot sauces, etc.
- Plants/flowers (for special occasions)
Everything else we skip on. (Tip: Their pre-made meals and frozen items may seem like a good deal, but be sure to do a per unit comparison. Their portions are usually much smaller making them more expensive per unit.)
Grocery Outlet
Grocery Outlet is another favorite by some frugal families. If you regularly buy frozen or packaged goods, they do have great sales and discounts. Our grocery list is mostly produce, dairy and meat – so we tend to skip Grocery Outlet. Occasionally I will shop their for beer/wine, cheeses, and backup freezer meals. Similar to Trader Joe's, take and use a list, because the deals are tempting!
Central Market
If you're not familiar, Central Market is a more upscale grocery store – catering to organic, local, craft, and ethnic food choices. Similar to Whole Foods, it can be quite pricey! The one item I do make a trip to buy there is coconut milk because they have the best brands and the best price – and if you cook a lot of Asian foods, their selection is impressive!
We use Amazon mostly for paper products such as diapers/wipes, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc. Though, I also find good deals on specialty bulk items like a big tub of coconut oil. Delivery is definitely a bonus, cause time is money. I also use Amazon for one-off purchases. For example, if I need an item but have already been to the grocery store that week, Amazon delivery (and the price) often makes sense.
Another big surprise was that Walmart wasn't the best deal in our market, for our shopping list. When we lived in Park City, UT is was definitely the best place to shop. When I have a lot of household items to buy such as laundry detergent, dishwasher soap, and toilet paper, I'll make a trip there, otherwise we skip it.
That's a Wrap
Knowing where to buy groceries (in your city, for your unique family) can make a huge impact on your grocery budget and takes the guess work out of where to shop. Ask around, do your research, track your spending, think big picture, and you may be surprised with the results!

Kate Bromley - Franchise and operations director � Pimp my Lawn
Kate started Pimp my Lawn after she sold her Wine retail and internet business in Hawke's Bay, back in 2007. After 9 years in this company (she started at 23) it had morphed into one of NZ's largest and independent specialist wine retailers. Kate worked full time in the business managing and directing its operations, implementing the business systems, being a deal maker and leading a tight team of staff to the top.
Until this point, her career was highlighted (and dominated) entirely with working in restaurants, booze stores and wine shops. Sounds like everyone's dream job, and we know Kate loved it, but it was also time for change. And if any of you know Kate, you will appreciate it's not in her nature to be idle.
In April 2007 Kate sold her wine business. She immediately joined a golf club, which was a mistake because 2½ months later, Pimp my Lawn was born. She launched Pimp my Lawn along with Nick in July 2007 with one staff member, a small van and an introductory letter to a bunch of Hawkes Bay people. The first month of trading was outstanding with client sign-up numbers outperforming 6 month predictions! From that day on, there's been little time for golf, but the business has never looked back.
Kate leads the team at Pimp my Lawn, playing a major role in setting the company's strategies, the planning and execution of them. Her practical and hands on approach to everything helps make the business 'tick'. Her relentless pursuit of excellence and her permanent goal to be NZ's leading lawn care provider, ensure it's always very busy at Pimp my Lawn!
Kate's a popular boss and over the years of owning her own business, has always embraced 'a-lead-by-example' management style. Put simply, there is no task Kate would ask her team to do, that she hasn't already done herself. Her wish for success is matched by few and Kate's desires to help those surrounded by her achieve great things, is matched by none. Famously known for her very practical and hands on approach to everything, there is little she won't attempt to do!
Kate left school and instead of heading to University with all her friends, she rolled her sleeves up and started working. From the outset she had a goal. She wanted to own and run her own business, but at this early stage she wasn't exactly sure what it would be or what she would do.
To cut a long story short, in 1999 at the age of 23 she opened a wine store in the middle of Hastings. But even prior to this she was no stranger to work. She began her working career at 10 with a paper round, and she doubled this with a pre cooker role in a fish 'n' chip shop every Friday night. At high school she started working for a food distribution company where she was up at 4am (before school) and worked til 7am twice weekly, then headed back to the depot every day after school. She then started working in restaurants (still under age at 18!) and held senior management roles virtually from the outset, performing her duties with a maturity well beyond her years.. Kate led and directed a number of people over her time and some many years her senior, but it never fazed her!
In her own time, Kate loves cooking. Dinner parties are her thing and she also enjoys restaurants and dining out. Kate also enjoys art and painting (however this has taken a back seat to business) and loves her garden. It goes with saying; she is also VERY obsessed with her lawn!

In Enneagram terms, your "wing" is the type, adjacent to your primary type, that flavors its expression. For example: if you are a Nine, your wing would either be Eight or One. If you have an Eight wing, the nomenclature is "Nine with an Eight wing." If you spend any time on Enneagram-related discussion boards, you might see abbreviations like 9w8 or 9w/8 which are referring to the same thing.
What this means in practical terms is that while your primary type remains home base, you will be influenced by your wing. As a Nine, your primary motivations will revolve around keeping the peace, focusing on the positive, and going along to get along. However, you will be influenced by your Eight wing, particularly in the way you express anger. Eights are prone to territorial anger that comes on strong and fast and can be over as quickly as it began. Nines with Eight wings are slow to anger, but once they are, it's quick and decisive. In contrast, Nines with One wings express anger as a slow burn with a very definite focus on an internalized system of morality.
In the Riso-Hudson teaching, each of the nine types will be influenced by one or the other wing, leading to 18 subtypes. Looking at the Enneagram symbol, you will notice an arc between each point representing the types. This arc can be used as an expression of one's wing such that the closer to the midpoint of the arc between two types, the stronger the wing will be. The closer to the primary type, the weaker the wing. Theoretically speaking, one could potentially land exactly on the primary type which would lead to "balanced wings," meaning you're equally influenced by both wings. However, this would necessarily be statistically rare.
According to some Enneagram teachings such as the Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition, we all have access to both wings and can call on one or the other as the situation demands. My personal take on this is this is true up to a point, and it's dependent on our Level of Development.
One thing we always need to keep in mind is that we all have access to each of the types. It's just that when we're fixated and behaving on autopilot (at a lower Level of Development), we tend to favor our primary type as influenced by our wing. As we become healthier, we begin to have greater access to the abandoned or neglected aspects of ourselves which we could say are expressions of the other types. This greater access usually begins with the types that we have the strongest connections with, such as our "other wing," our points of integration and disintegration, etc.
I believe that it's due to this dynamic that some people have experienced a balanced wing state in which they are able to access whichever wing will best support them in the moment. However, I would reiterate that this would require a higher than average Level of Health simply because by definition, our type and wing are expressions Ego's manifestation in us when we are more fixated As we begin to loosen our own bonds, these fixations fall away, and rather than gaining a new "wing," we simply gain greater access to all aspects of our being.

Our school in York PA is located inside Fitness 1440. There are huge guys that lift there. They must be content with their belief that they will never be the victim of an attack based on their size, appearance, and athleticism, and you know what, they are right. Men are usually the attackers of other men and women. Predators look for those who appear old, young, injured, weak, or mostly just distracted. It is easier for a man to bluff another man into leaving him alone or submission during a confrontation. Face it men are much less likely to be the victim of a sexual assault or to be abducted by another man. It is women who are most often the victims of sexual assault and/or abduction. Adult men are not worth much when it comes to human trafficking. Once abducted and moved south across the boarder a woman is not very likely to be heard from again.
When men do turn up for classes they are usually much more familiar with violent physical (non-abusive) contact. The reason is that boys from an early age wrestle and roughhouse, often to the point of bloody lips, noses, broken bones, and even being knocked out. Then they grow up and become involved in contact sports like wrestling and football, again more violent contact. From there they are likely to pursue a martial art. By adulthood even the meekest of boys have been knocked around a little bit buy other males and therefor at least partially inoculated to the stresses of interpersonal combat.
More so than men, the ladies who show up at classes have a story to tell, it is a story of abusive violence that manifest in three primary ways.
1) They were mentally, physically, verbally, and sexually abused as a child by a man they should have been able to trust. This has left them with a fear towards men.
2) They have been or are currently involved in a abusive relationship with a man, and it is usually not their first. This very often stems from #1.
3) They have been the victim of a violent criminal attack.
Just in the last two classes I can share with you these two stories-
"Pam" was violently attacked in York PA while she was 21. She was beaten so bad that her family did not recognize her at the hospital. She was his 9th victim and she testified against him. However he was found not guilty on a technicality. Now middle aged she is still attempting to come to terms with it and has decided to seek reality based training.
"Kristen" with her young daughter in her car was attacked on a backstreet of a very small town here locally. A man became angry after a traffic disagreement. She was stopped at a red light behind another car, when he exited his truck, walked up to her open window, it was hot and she had no AC, and punched her once in the face before walking back to his vehicle and driving away, around her when the light changed. She was almost knocked unconscious. No one stopped to help her or even called the assault into police.
When it comes to self-defense women have different needs than men do. Women prefer Awareness, and Avoidance over Aggression. The aggression we teach them is not based on size, strength, or speed. The reasoning being that for most, if they have it, it is only for a period of their life. Not when they are very young, or older. And on the way to being older disease and injury occur, and that has to be taken into consideration. Also seldom taken into consideration is the differences between the way a man attacks another man and the way he will attack a women. When men attack men they often do so with the intention of injuring them and/or taking something from them. The goal with women is typically sexual assault. They will break contact with the man to get away, but with the woman they are going to spend time at the location of the incident or move her to another place to spend more time with her there, at the second location they are usually murdered.
In both cases above the women were both attacked from behind and in disadvantaged positions. Predators don't attack even what what they deem "easy pray" head on. They want to use the least amount of effort necessary. Go into your local Mcdojo, especially during your introductory class and ask them how to protect yourself if attacked behind the wheel of your car or attacked from behind by a large aggressive man. If they tell you anything it will be about a physical response, not about being aware of and avoiding that situation. Guys want the physical stuff, women who have already been victimized want to know how to avoid it happening again, and if that fails some simple techniques that will give them time to get away.
I don't know about you but I don't want my wife or daughters training to be cage fighters. I want them to be able to mindfully process their intuition so that they learn to recognize their options in worst case scenarios instead of shutting down. When they become aware of something that could potentially put them in danger I want them to make a habit removing themselves from the situation. Of course if all else fail they need hard skills that I know will work against someone my size and intensity, not things like pepper spray and wrist locks. There is a reason while it is called reality based training, but often I am left shaking my head as to whose reality is it, the instructors or the students.
At present I have two options for ladies to learn more.
If you are not located around York PA, my Personal Protection for Women book on Kindle is an inexpensive way to begin or further your self-defense education. If you are local to us. Women's Self Defense is the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month from 7-8. We are also happy to bring our training to you. Feel free to contact by e-mail or call 717-693-2085.


text: WINCHFIELD Around the station there is scarcely a village to speak of. Little more than a mile away, however, is Hartley Wintney, practically two centuries removed from Fleet. It has old coaching inns with archways leading into cobbled yards, five village ponds and five village greens with ancient oaks, and the second oldest cricket ground in England. The centre is full of antique shops and has an art gallery that specialises in English paintings and sculptures. 'Very Hampshire,' says one local. There is a butcher, a bakery, two coffee shops and a market on Wednesday mornings. Social highlights include productions by the local dramatic society, and there are all the usual clubs and societies, including WI, Scouts and Brownies, and a golf course. High prices follow the 17th- and 18th-century architecture; council houses are tucked out of sight. A classic four-bedroom cottage overlooking the cricket ground might cost £650,000. A modern four-bedroom house would be around £400,000, while a two-up, two-down Victorian cottage on the common might be had for £250,000.

MK: A Knight's Tale.
20:08It brings me no pleasure but it's time to bring the curtain down for another year. Seemed somehow appropriate to leave the last word to Roger Federer. Thanks a billion for reading. What a fortnight, what a final, fast forward to 2015 please...
20:03"I already have seven. It's not like I need another one. But it would have been awfully nice to have it. I think that's what the feeling was of the people, and I felt that... I know they love tennis. They love tennis after we're all gone."View all

Our Mission
Our mission is to use our specialized knowledge of cat breeds to provide an appropriate foster alternative for homeless purebred cats and kittens whose special requirements are difficult to meet in a shelter environment, in addition to helping as many special needs domestic cats as our resources allow.
Our goal is to provide the best match between cats and their adoptive families and to place as many purebred and special needs cats as possible into loving homes.
About Us
Specialty Purebred Cat Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 1999. We specialize in finding quality homes for abandoned/surrendered purebred cats. We are the largest rescue organization of its kind in the Midwest and we are well known and respected throughout the animal shelter community.
Our group is composed of wonderful foster volunteers who generously open their homes and hearts to abandoned and abused purebred cats. Our volunteers work hard to find homes for these felines. We are capable of fostering over 100 cats at one time, spread among the group. However, we always have a considerable waiting list of cats that need to come into our limited foster space. Cats are kept in homes in their own rooms and are given the best of care.
Foster homes are located in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, eastern Iowa, and southern Michigan. Cats are seen by appointment only after an adoption application has been submitted and approved.

Happy Halloween, everybody! I want to share all my special spooky posts with you to maximize this madcap holiday of frightening fun. I don't want you to miss a thing! You can check out all my latest Halloween fun posts here. Below you'll find some spooky posts from Halloween's past, several recommendations for your family movie night, and more!
The fruity eyeball snack recipe can be found here.
HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA: This fun animated kids' film is an affectionate tribute to campy B-grade horror films, starring such monster favorites as the Invisible Man (who goes by Griffin, the voice of David Spade), Frankenstein's Monster (who goes by Frank, the voice of Kevin James), and of course Dracula (nicknamed "Drac," a Transylvania-accented Adam Sandler). Dracula has set up an exclusive secret monsters-only castle resort to protect his friends, himself, and his daughter Mavis (the voice of Selena Gomez) from the lynch-mob-prone world of humans. But Mavis has come of age. She longs to visit the wide world of humans and (gasp!) even falls in love with one when he accidentally stumbles upon the castle. Hilarious fright-laden chaos ensues. Reel Mama's recommendation: Age 6 and up.
THE WATCHER IN THE WOODS: Now on DVD. On occasion Disney creates a film in a very unique genre: family horror. These films aren't easy to find, but they make great slumber party movies. "The Watcher in the Woods" is one of its more successful efforts, with enough thrills and chills to tingle the spines of 8- to 12-year-olds. In the film the Curtis family moves into the residence owned by the eccentric Mrs. Aylwood (Bette Davis) whose daughter Karen tragically disappeared under mysterious circumstances. The Curtis' teenage daughter Jan (Lynn-Holly Johnson) wants to find out the truth before it's too late.
The film builds an engaging mystery and taps into kids' fascination with the supernatural with a light tone of gothic horror. Even parents might feel the hair being raised on their arms. Reel Mama's recommendation: 8 and up. A few scenes may be too intense for younger viewers.
DARK SHADOWS: Now on DVD. Tim Burton's trippy tribute to the 1970s campy classic TV show of the same title. Johnny Depp plays Barnabas, who, cursed to an existence as a vampire, breaks free from his coffin after 200 years to return to his family, once wealthy from the fishing trade, now a dark shadow of its former self. The year is 1972, and Barnabas must set about rebuilding the family fortune while acclimating himself to the "sorcery" of the 1970s, such as lava lamps, games like Operation, and Karen Carpenter crooning on TV. Tim Burton is at his best with what I like to term "popcorn Gothic." This movie is not his best work, and it gets downright weird at times, but it's obvious that he and Johnny Depp had a blast making it. They've worked together so much by now that they almost have a secret language on set. The worlds Burton and Depp create are kooky, out there, but always entertaining. Reel Mama's recommendation: 15 and up, due to mature content (the movie is rated PG13 — see review for details).
Check out my double family film fright night features — Coraline and Goosebumps TV show! — with Reel Mama's countdown to Halloween!
How to make Halloween Owl Cupcakes: You'll feel like you've scarfed down a whole bag of Halloween candy after eating just one of these!
A little "gross-out" humor in "Grossology," a "Fright Night in the Fitting Room" as I tried to find the perfect Halloween costume last year, and "The Wig Snafu" (how did my Alice in Wonderland wig end up looking like Cousin It?)
Have a great Halloween, everybody!

Dominic met Leslie in 2031, after he finally followed his friends' and family's advice and started dating again, after the death of his girlfriend Tessa three years earlier. Dominic went on a few dates with some other girls but Leslie was the only one he felt he clicked with.
Dominic and Leslie had both always wanted to get married and start a family and four years after they met, they got married. They bought a house just before the wedding and of course, made sure there would be room for any future children.
