Are you having a recurring dream which is bothering you in some shape or form? If so, please contact me giving details and I will gladly interpret its meaning for you.

Email readings
As some of my colleagues may agree, degrees and qualifications, as good as they are, do not necessarily make a good psychic. What does make one, however, I feel, is life experience. After all, is life not but one big education? During the course of my readings, therefore, with the permission of my clients and the acknowledgement of my guides, I draw upon my own life experiences (of which there have been many) in order to connect with my client, understand my client and most importantly, guide them down the right path for themselves. I feel it is both a combination of qualifications and experience that allow me to do this.
The above said, my guides have always taught me that knowledge is indeed power and therefore I shall continue to educate myself in the psychic field and for this very reason am continuing to develop myself in tarot life coaching, manifestation and more!
It is true to say that spirit have walked with me over the last 39 years, since I was the tender age of 16. In fact I remember way back then, the year being 1976, when I was one sunny summer evening walking our dogs with my late sister, Sheila, when, on this stroll, I predicted the engagement of two young people, which actually took place just three days later. At first I put this down to mere coincidence but after that I began to have more and more visions of what the future entailed, for both myself and others and soon came to the conclusion that what I was experiencing weren't simply coincidences but indeed information from a higher source.
Since then, with both my sister's help, I decided to develop my skills more and more and began by studying the most beautiful Doreen Virtue Angel Oracle Cards. I have used them for some 10 years now and continue to gain wisdom and guidance from their application in order to help people in ALL aspects of their lives.
The above said, it is true to say that some people are more comfortable with a more indirect approach to a reading. For this very reason I decided to do email readings and have continued to provide these for the last eight years or so.
Whatever form of divination tools I use, be they Angel or Tarot, rune or crystal, my guides have always taught me the importance of leaving my clients in an empowered place. For this very reason I have educated myself where spiritual coaching is concerned, in order to help the client to help themselves. Happily, this approach has helped many clients, from all around the globe, including those I have met via Bitwine, where I have happily been giving readings for a number of years now.
During the course of educating myself in the psychic field over the last 39 years or so, one of my greatest passions has been that of manifestation via the Law of Attraction. Why I put this is because my guides have always taught me that the future is not simply predictable but it is actually influential as well. How empowering is that? Therefore, after having taken a look at an individual's particular set of circumstances, I will give the relevant advice as to whether or not their circumstances could or, in fact, should be changed.
I am also an experienced writer and over the forthcoming months will be putting together some free advice on a number of issues from psychic development to problem solving. These articles shall be sent to the client, with their prior approval, via email (through Bitwine of course), after they have had a reading with me. These pieces of advice can be considered, I feel, as a little gift from myself, i.e. a thank you for allowing me the read for them. As I have considerable years experience in both writing and psychic development, plus am well versed in personal growth (another subject I have been studying for some 10 years now), I trust that all those who read my articles and follow the advice shall benefit from them, in addition to any reading they may have with me.

Italy's tourism minister, Michela Brambilla, has instructed the official state lawyer to seek the removal from sale of a "defamatory" iPhone application and to take legal action against the app's maker.
The "What Country" application, produced by Apalon, a division of MoveYourWeb, provides immediately recognizable national stereotypes to accompany users' tourist photos in a photographic album. The application, which works with iPhones, the iPod Touch and iPads, is available from the Apple App Store.
The app associates Italy with pizzas, scooters and the Mafia, and it is the latter connection that has enraged many Italians.
"It's an offensive and unacceptable representation, what's more, accompanied by an explanatory text that, if possible, makes things even worse," Brambilla said in a statement announcing her call for legal action to protect Italy's international image.
The incriminated text reads in part: "The Mafia in Italy is large. No surprise. It's known as Cosa Nostra ... The Mafia in Italy constitutes a formidable economic power, which accounts for 10 percent of GDP (Gross Domestic Product)."
Italy is a beacon for the world, because of its history, culture and style, Brambilla insisted. "As a citizen and as a minister, I cannot allow our country to be discredited by using a criminal organization as our testimonial," she said.
The minister's protest follows recent criticism in Italy of the Julia Roberts film "Eat, Pray, Love" -- where the "eat" part applies to Italy -- as reinforcing unflattering stereotypes about the Mediterranean peninsula.
Apalon Vice President Peter Melnikov said that the app is not meant to be a straight travel guide.
"The app is based on interactive map featuring funny stereotypes about particular countries," Melnikov said in an e-mail response to a query. "We are following comments on Italian sites and see that lots of people understand that those stereotypes in question associated with Italy were not invented by us. In the end of the day we hope users will understand satire and respect freedom of speech."
Some Italian commentators appear to agree.
The "What Country" app "employs much overused concepts, but with a deliberately ironic and satirical approach," Claudio Tamburrino commented in the online magazine punto-informatico. "But it will be difficult to
prove a denigratory intention, and the question of jurisdiction is also complex, given the transnational nature of the mobile marketplace."
Apalon does not appear to have a particular devotion to good taste. The company's website says another of its applications, "Drunk Sniper," "is turning iPhone or iPod Touch into male body organ which can be realistically manipulated by the user while relieving themselves of a couple of beers."
Apple was not immediately available for comment.

Posts Tagged Angel Adams
Eric Himan / Eric and the Adams
This summer, I discovered a new singer. Now when I say "new", I mean new to me, not new to the scene, because he has been making incredible music for years now. I don't remember now where or how I heard about him, but I'm oh so glad I did. I'm talking about Eric Himan.
Eric Himan is so grassroots, his face is green. Though his music tells a different story. Without the help of record labels, booking agents, publicists, or management, Eric Himan is touring to more places, getting great press coverage, and still has time to run his record label, Thumbcrown Records, home to his six studio albums. He just released his newest, Resonate, and has five years of solid touring in the US under his belt.
To describe Eric's sound, I would say it's like if Maroon 5, John Mayer, and Tracy Chapman got together, had a baby, and gave that baby a guitar. It's been a long time since I've found a singer whose music I identify with as much as I do his. Over the course of 10 days, I downloaded and devoured all the music Eric had to offer, loving every bit of it, and that's when I saw something else…
He had a band! Eric and the Adams
In August 2007, upon moving to Oklahoma and getting offered a local gig requiring a back-up band, Eric met the Adams duo (Jimmy Adams on bass and Angel Adams on drums) in Tulsa after performing at an open mic on the same night. Eric joined his experience with the Adams' explosive creativity. Their differences in styles of music have made it fun to put together a sound that is unique only to them. They started performing locally and word caught on. The rest, as they say, is history.
Angel – By day, she's an art director and graphic artist. By night, her superhero persona is Drummer for Eric and the Adams. Spending many years traveling overseas serving with humanitarian aid and missionary organizations, she started that work at 14 years old and hasn't stopped. "I LOVE to travel and love that I've been a part of helping in the lives of so many people. I did my very best to have at least one 'Indiana Jones' experience every trip I've been on…I have LOTS of stories to tell." Currently, she lives in Tulsa, OK with her incredibly supportive partner (and high school sweetheart) and their 5 (yes, 5) gigantic dogs.
Jimmy – Plays bass in the band Eric and the Adams. He's married with 4 boys is currently attending college and runs his own landscaping business. Growing up, he spent most of my time outside building forts and climbing trees…which also could be translated into breaking a lot of bones. He's spent a lot of time in casts from trying to defy gravity. That same "kid" creeps in every now and then, showing up in their live performances. He describes his influences as bands like Sublime and Incubus…but making room for everything else from Kelly Clarkson and Gwen Stefani to Bach and Chopin.

*****The Music*****
As I said, I really connect with the music of Eric Himan and Eric and the Adams. Their music travels the gamut. Always crisp, clear, and deeply soulful, it is at times emotional and touching and at others fun and upbeat. In their catalog, there is something for everyone. And so you can appreciate it too, below are some videos showing you their undeniable talent. So watch, listen, love it, and enjoy!

Additional "Half-Blood Prince" Location Filming Photos ; Costume Fitting this Week at Gloucester Cathedral
Jan 27, 2008
As a follow up to our previous post , crews from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince continue to prepare for location filming at Gloucester Cathedral in England. Thanks to TLC reader Becca, you can now see some additional photos of the work and sets being prepared for filming due in the coming days and weeks. Anyone who attends the filming, please send in your reports and photos and we will post.
UPDATE: This is Gloucestershire has another preview article online this am, noting that costume fitting is to take place this week for the 174 students who will be seen as extras in the upcoming sixth Harry Potter film. The students are looking forward to getting fitted for their Hogwarts robes, as one student notes "I'm very excited about seeing the celebrities, and I most looking forward to meeting Emma Watson (Hermione). I can't wait to have my costume and am excited to see what house I will be put in – I hope it's Slytherin." Year six pupil Emily Summers said: "The two things I am looking forward to the most are watching everything going on around me, like filming and getting my costume fitted, and having my hair and make-up done. I love Harry Potter and I am really excited about being in the film because it is going to be like we are really at Hogwarts."
Thanks much Becca!

So schlockmeister Godfrey Ho got these white guys together, tied scarves on their heads that say "ninja," and made them exchange scintillating dialog after fighting with swords. And it only gets better in Zombie vs. Ninja.
The tender tale of a guy who becomes a ninja after being apprenticed to a funeral director (???), the story meanders between strange white guys fighting - often in gold foil tops - and our main character learning ninja skills so that he can save a town. Here's a great moment where his master teaches him to fight a zombie.
I love that the scene starts in winter and ends in spring. Also, I have no idea if the original dialog was that awesome - "I've never seen anybody shit like that before!" - or it's all the fault of some snarky dubbing. Somehow, having heard the English-language dialog in the first clip, I don't think it's a bad translation. Director Ho is sometimes called Hong Kong's answer to Ed Wood.

Hello again!
As I mentioned in last week's post (and regular readers will recall), typically this time of year I ask one or two of our newly ordained priests to share their experiences with you as they begin their ministry.
This week, I have asked Father Carlos Suarez, whom I ordained in May, to offer his reelections. I hope you find his story as interesting and inspiring as I did!
– Cardinal Seán
– – –
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you. – Jeremiah 1:5
As I reflect back upon nearly two months of life as a priest, I'm struck by how well it fits. I cannot imagine doing anything else with my life other than serving Christ and His Church as a priest. This strikes me in a particular way, because I spent so many years trying to turn away from this vocation.
I was born in El Paso, Texas. I realized very early on, around the age of 6, that God was calling me to be a priest. At the time, this translated mostly into coming home from Mass on Sundays, putting on my bathrobe, making an "altar" with the couch cushions and "celebrating Mass" for my grandmother and whoever else might be around.
However, as I grew up, and as I began to think up other plans for myself, God's invitation began to feel like a burden. I began to push God away and to insist that as great as the idea was, there must be someone out there more suited to serving Him as a priest. It wasn't that I doubted my abilities, but rather I had convinced myself that my plans were better than what God had in store for me.
My family moved to Massachusetts in 1989, and in 1992 I entered Boston Latin School. During most of my middle school and high school years I continued to put God's invitation as far away from my mind as possible. I also let my relationship with the Church suffer. Then, towards the end of high school, things started to change. I vividly remember one night during junior year where I was struck by the urge to pray. I began to pray the Our Father, but I couldn't remember how to finish it. I tried in English, and I tried in Spanish, but it just wasn't coming to mind. This experience helped me realize how far I had turned from God, and how much I desired His presence in my life. A few weeks later I was wandering around the Prudential Center while waiting for some friends. It was on this day that I discovered St. Francis Chapel. It was through this chapel, and the Oblates of the Virgin Mary that staff it, that I began to come back to an active faith life.
By the time I graduated high school I was back on the right path. I began my studies at Boston University in the fall of 1999, and I immediately became involved in the Catholic Center. The Catholic Center became the center of my social life on campus, and with the help of the campus ministers and my peers I continued to move towards a fuller and more mature embrace of my Catholic faith.
By the spring semester of my freshman year God's call had come back to the forefront. That January I saw an announcement for the Come and See weekend. I decided to attend, and my decision was confirmed a few weeks later when my mother came to BU for Mass and pointed out the retreat announcement to me in the bulletin. I happily told her I had already signed up. That retreat was a fateful occasion, because as I entered the seminary grounds I was struck by a very strong feeling of "coming home", of being where I belonged.
After the retreat ended I resolved to take more concrete steps in embracing my vocation. I began praying parts of the Liturgy of the Hours, and I began meeting with a spiritual director. Around this time I was also introduced to Most Holy Trinity Monastery, a Maronite monastery in Petersham, Mass. I enjoyed the silence and solitude I found there, as well as the beauty of the Maronite liturgy.
I've continued to make frequent visits there. I find that silence is a key element in creating the space necessary to hear God's voice.
As I became more serious about my vocation I was strongly drawn towards religious life, I explored a wide array of religious orders, but I felt particularly inclined towards the Salesians. I've always enjoyed working with young people, and the Salesians seemed to be a good fit. However, God made it clear that He was calling me to serve Him as a diocesan priest. After graduating from BU, I worked for two years and then I began my studies at St. John's Seminary in 2005.
The first semester of seminary felt like it lasted about three years. I had to adjust to the schedule, the academics, and the community. However, as I truly allowed myself to enter into the formation, it started to fit more and more and I began to experience that peace which comes from following God's will. It seems that the more I felt this sense of peace and joy, the quicker the time passed by.
I was ordained a deacon on January 22, 2011. In God's strange sense of timing, my grandmother, the one for whom I had "celebrated Mass" as a child, died the day before my diaconal ordination. Her funeral Mass was the first Mass I served as a deacon.
Although the beginning of my time as a deacon was bittersweet, the rest of the time was joyful. During my months as a deacon I had to strike the balance between entering fully into the ministry of the diaconate and also making preparations for my priestly ordination.
My priestly ordination on May 21, 2011 is one of the greatest moments of my life. I was blessed in the days that followed the ordination to offer Masses of thanksgiving in places which have been important in my life including my home parish, St. Joseph-St. Lazarus in East Boston, and Marsh Chapel at Boston University.
I've been assigned to three parishes in Brockton, St. Edith Stein, Christ the King, and Our Lady of Lourdes. I've been here for about six weeks now, and it's been a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
Each day brings new blessings through the celebration of Mass and encountering the people of God in other sacramental moments, whether through the sacrament of reconciliation, or the anointing of the sick.
One thing which remains very close to my heart is working with youth. In the long term I hope to help foster a solid youth program at these parishes, and in the short term I'm really looking forward to being one of the estimated 20,000 priests attending World Youth Day in Madrid!
God has truly blessed me through my vocation, and I pray that my work will be a blessing to others. If there is anyone reading this who feels they might have a vocation to the priesthood I would echo the words of Christ which were a favorite quote of Blessed John Paul II, "Do not be afraid!" By running away from the vocation God is calling you to; you are only running from the great and abundant happiness which He has prepared for you.

Who is she?
Charm, sensitivity, vivacity and sensuality; these are some of the qualities that make Letha such a likeable character. She is a sociable and extroverted woman who is appealing to others and capable of bringing harmony to those around her. Curious, communicative and adaptable, she is full of the joys of spring, good humoured, optimistic, cheerful and easy-going. She is immune to discouragement and knows exactly how to defuse a dramatic situation. She is generally well-balanced, although often highly strung and tends to want to calm things down because she loathes conflict of any kind. While it is true that she is impatient and often gets carried away, she won´t rest until she has re-established the peace. She is feminine, seductive and possesses the art of persuasion. She could have a gift for languages, singing or even impersonation. Her decisions are based on her feelings and she aspires to beauty and perfection. Pernickety and paradoxically, disorganized, she is capable of spending two hours in the bathroom while neglecting other household chores... She is headstrong and prepared to assume her responsibilities, however she nevertheless remains quite partial to an easy life. She is an emotional lady who will only act or make a decision when she feels at peace with the world, but if the opposite is true she could allow herself to slip into mild indolence. As a little girl, Letha is a mischievous little monkey who is very affectionate, demonstrative and anxious to please her parents because her family life is very important to her. An atmosphere of dissension at home is likely to have disastrous consequences on her emotional well-being. Her upbringing should nevertheless include certain constraints, because she has a tendency to become easily dissipated, too busy playing and having fun to be concerned about her school work. Last but not least, she is a creative soul and would gain enormous satisfaction from music or dance.
What does she like?
Sensual and voracious, Letha likes to live life to the fullest and enjoys tasting all of the pleasures that this world has to offer. She has a good sense of humour and likes to make others laugh, as well as participate in fun and games of all kinds. Her love life is very important to her and she will start looking for her soul mate from a relatively tender age, although she shouldn´t have any trouble finding him - or rather, them; and could have a tough time choosing between the tender and sentimental Paul, the handsome and masculine Mark - and Robert, who is so protective and reassuring... What a cruel dilemma! If it wasn´t for her morals, she´d happily keep all three...

What does she do?
Her family could have some bearing on her choice of career. Otherwise, she is likely to be attracted to occupations in connection with esthetics, creativity, art, comfort, cuisine or gastronomy... in liaison with the management, care and support of others (doctor, relationship counsellor, judge, nurse, physiotherapist...), in connection with hygiene or precision; oral or written expression.

The Mapleson Cylinders - Program Notes
|Band 7
Ponchielli: LA GIOCONDA -- Dance of the Hours excerpt
Metropolitan Opera Orchestra -- Phillippe Flon
March 2, 1902
[The Glackens-Bishop inventory lists two cylinders apparently from the "Dance of the Hours." No. 76, dated "March 2?, 19?," is described as "cracked"; No. 92 is "Gioconda galop -- March 2, 1902." This is presumably the second of two (though it does not include the final section of the piece, to which the term "galop" might be properly applied). Gioconda was not in the Met repertory during these years, and the piece was played only on the Sunday-evening concert of that date -- at which Mapleson may have also recorded some songs sung by Campanari and possibly the Saint-Saëns Danse Macabre (see Side 4/Band 14).]
The excerpt begins near the end of "the hours of day" (about eight measures before letter E in the Ricordi score), and continues through "evening" into "night." Two bars after letter G, Mapleson appears to have stopped his machine; at any rate, the transitional passage, with harp arpeggios, is missing; more curiously, when he resumes at "Andante poco mosso," the first eight measures of cello melody are repeated -- at which point the recording breaks off.

Jim Rise and Mick Eriksen of Grundfos are the co-authors of the book "Designing Flood Pumping Stations", which for the first time covers all aspects of flood pumping stations and their design.
Jim Rise set out to clear away the confusion surrounding the design of pumping stations that he had met during his 15 years working in the area. He sat down and wrote the book 'Designing Flood Pumping Stations' to systematically bring together the most important information on flood pumping stations and how to design them.
What inspired you to write the book?
Jim Rise: In my experience, 90% of the errors that involve pumps in pumping stations are due to the design of the pumping station. This book is the first time that I know of where all the relevant information has been brought together. It covers design, installation, commissioning and operation and we basically wrote it to help people avoid the worst design errors.
What was important for me was to make this knowledge about flood control and pumping stations available to help people who work in this area, so that their pumping stations can do what they are intended to do – operate reliably for many years and help alleviate the problems caused by flooding. I am happy to say that the feedback I have had from all over the world on the book has been really positive.

about flood pumping stations
What kind of design errors have you seen in pumping stations?
Jim Rise: Pumping stations are often old and were built many years ago, when a city was much smaller than it is now. That means the pumping station has to drain a much larger area than it was designed for, and what often happens is that the existing pumps are simply replaced with larger pumps that can pump more water.
90% of the errors that involve pumps in pumping stations are due to the design of the pumping station.
Jim Rise, Sales Development Manager, Grundfos
One of the problems with just replacing original pumps with larger ones is that you can easily come to create a vortex, because the extra volume of water is pumped faster by bigger pumps, while the rest of the station – such as the exit pipes – has the same dimensions. This can lead air entrancement and cavitation.
This is just one example from my book. What I wanted to do was show how important it is to take all factors into consideration and design a pumping station that meets requirements.
Why is Grundfos involved in flood control?
Jim Rise: Flooding is the fastest growing cause of disaster in the world while at the same time 50% of the planet's population lives in flood deltas. This means the need for flood control is also growing.
At the same time, one of Grundfos' most important goals is to pioneer technologies that improve the quality of life of people, and flood control is an area where we have the technology and products to really do this.
I have included a map in my book to show readers they can find help to design a pumping station suited for their climatic conditions. In the tropics there is very heavy rainfall at certain times, while in Northern Europe rainfall is more evenly distributed – notwithstanding climate change, of course. The map shows how Grundfos has been involved in designing pumping stations that meet the challenges no matter the climatic zone.
Can you give a good example?
Small practical details can make a difference. For example, more compact pumps mean the customer can save space in building the pumping station and save on construction costs, even as much as 20%.
Jim Rise, Sales Development Manager, Grundfos
Jim Rise: The project in Mumbai, India is a good example (see more under the tab "Video: Mumbai solution"). Grundfos was involved right from the beginning with the design and equipment. Grundfos even runs the pumping station.
In my view it is important to think in systems and solutions including pumps and also installation, SCADA systems, service, and communication. But at the same time, small practical details can make a difference in the daily operation. For example, more compact pumps mean the customer can save space building the pumping station and save on construction costs, even as much as 20%.
Grundfos pumps also have features like the Grundfos Turbulence Optimiser™, which is a rubber diffuser, mounted on the pump volute. When the pump is running, the Turbulence Optimiser™ expands and reduces turbulence, reducing energy losses and saving 1-2% of energy consumption, which can really add up in a large pumping station. So it was important for me to systematically present and explain the big picture but also point to the small details that make a difference in optimising pumping stations.
Jim Rise
Jim Rise, Sales Development Manager at Grundfos co-wrote 'Designing Flood Pumping Stations' and was part of the team that founded the Global Water Competence Centre in Denmark.

Large areas of the city of Mumbai are low lying and are impacted by extensive flooding on a regular basis due to annual monsoon rains. Mumbai is home to 13 million inhabitants, with a further 7 million living in the metropolitan area, and also the commercial capital of India.
To combat the problem, Mumbai Municipality proposed a storm water pumping station in central Mumbai. Grundfos provided a complete solution for the pumping station, including not only the pumps but also a SCADA control system and electromechanical systems. Today, the pumping station provides a sustainable solution to the perennial problem of flooding in Mumbai.

Catalog No. 6196-20: Glycerol-DTT-EDTA-free RnaUsScript-20 Reverse Transcriptase, Size: 20,000 U
Glycerol-DTT-EDTA-Free RnaUsScript-20 reverse transcriptase is a fusion RT, produces higher cDNA yield, and
increases RT reaction temperature. RnaUsScript-20 RT is a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of
approximately 77 kDa and is a RNA-dependent DNA polymerase that synthesizes the complementary cDNA strand from
a single-stranded RNA template to which a primer has been annealed (1,2). RnaUsScript-20 RT also efficiently
extends primers hybridized to single-stranded DNA. This enzyme is expressed in E. coli (2) and purified to be
free of exogenous RNase activity, a common contaminant in commercial preparations of reverse transcriptase.
The enzyme is used to synthesize first-strand cDNA up to 12 kb, and 5X cDNA Synthesis buffer is provided.

H.K. activists to protest against Japanese PM during APEC
November 7, 2014 4:51 am
HONG KONG, Nov. 6 — Hong Kong and Macao activists will protest against Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Beijing over a string of uninhabited islets in the East China Sea that are the crux of territorial disputes between China, Taiwan and Japan, a group member said Thursday.
Chan Miu-tak, former head of the Action Committee for Defending the Diaoyu Islands whose members landed on one of the Japan-controlled Senkaku islets in 2012 to declare Chinese sovereignty, said they will launch a protest during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit demanding Abe apologize and compensate China for Japan occupying the islets and distorting Chinese history.
"We will try to access the APEC venue, if we fail, we might go to the Japanese Embassy instead," Chan told Kyodo News by telephone before leaving Hong Kong. (PNA/Kyodo)

Special Notes
Natural stones are products of nature, and no two pieces are exactly alike. These codes are intended as a general guide to how much variation in color, movement, and veining can be expected. All natural stones have unique natural variations and inclusions that are impossible to show in a photograph or sample. For this reason, all stone should be unpacked and inspected prior to installation, as Marble Systems cannot accept claims for variation in any stone after install.
- Some Medium and Heavy Duty stones cannot be used in exterior applications in areas that experience freeze/thaw conditions. Please use specific stone in the Usage Guide for this information.
- Some Medium Duty stones may be subject to scratching or etching when used as countertops.
- Light, Medium and Heavy Traffic refer to pedestrian traffic only. If the stone is to be installed in an area with vehicular traffic, please contact a sales representative to inquire about thickness and installation requirements.
- Stone in this group must be sealed periodically as a normal maintenance routine if used in wet areas.
- These materials may contain areas of open or dry seams that can appear dull in reflective light. This is not a defect, but rather an inherent characteristic of the stone.
- White thin-set or mortar is required. This is the case for all limestone, tumbled stones, "antiqued stones" and light color marbles.
- These stones may be characterized by dry seams, pits, and fossils. In polished and honed stones, these areas are often filled at the factory. In rustic or tumbled stones, as well as with some honed limestone, these are often filled with grout during installation. Whether filled at the factory or during installation, the fill can work its way out of the voids. In these instances, it may be necessary to refill these voids as part of a normal maintenance routine.

Foote, Julia A.J.
How is sanctification to be obtained? An important question. I answer, by faith. Faith is the only condition of sanctification. By this I mean a faith that dies out to the world and every form of sin; that gives up the sin of the heart; and that believes, according to God's promise, he is able to perform, and will do it now--doeth it now.
Why not yield, believe, and be sanctified now--now, while reading? "Now is the day of
salvation." Say: "Here, Lord, I will, I do believe; thou hast said now--now let it
be--now apply the blood of Jesus to my waiting, longing soul."
"Hallelujah! 'tis done!
I believe on the Son;
I am saved by the blood
Of the crucified One."
Mrs. J.A. foote ... E.A. Hoffman
1. Mixture of joy and sor - row daily do I pass through;
2. Sometimes I am ex - alt - ed, On eagle's wings I fly;
3. Sometimes I am indoubting, And think I have no grace;
Sometimes I'am in the valley, Then sinking down with woe.
Ris - ing above Mount Pisgah, I almost reach the sky.
Sometimes I am a-shouting, And camp-meeting is the place.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb, Who saves me from all sin, from all
[my sin!
Holy, holy, holy is the lamb, Whose blood doth make me clean!
4. sometimes, when I am praying,
It almost sems a task;
Sometimes I get a blessing,
The greatest I can ask.
5. Sometimes I read by Bible,
It almost seems a task;
Sometimes I find a blessing
Wherever I do look.
6. O, why am I thus tossed
Thus tossed to and fro?
Because the blood of Jesus
Hasn't washed me white as snow.
7. Oh, come to Christ, the Savior,
Drink of that living stream;
Your thirst he'll quench forever
And cleanse you from all sin.
Now, dear reader, I conclude by praying that this little work may be blessed of God to your spiritual and everlasting good. I trust also that it will promote the cause of holiness in the Church.
Now, unto Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly, above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us; unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Cookbook | Recipes | Ingredients | Vegetable | Herbs and Spices | Chilli
The chilli pepper (also spelled chili or chile) is the fruit of the plant capsicum of the nightshade (Solanaceae) family. Cultivated since prehistoric times in Peru and Mexico, it was discovered in the Caribbean by Christopher Columbus. He thought them as a more masculine version of Old World peppers, so he named them pimento in contrast with pimenta. This however was not understood abroad, which is why many languages know chile as pepper. Diego Alvarez Chanca, a physician on Columbus' second voyage to the West Indies in 1493, brought the first chile peppers to Spain, and first wrote about their medicinal effects in 1494.
Chiles are infamous for their heat, which is caused by the substance capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide). This chemical compound causes pain and inflammation if consumed to excess, and can even burn the skin on contact in high concentrations (habanero peppers, for example, are routinely picked with gloves). It is also the primary ingredient in pepper spray, which is used as a defensive weapon. The "heat" of chili peppers is measured in Scoville Heat Units (SHU). Bell peppers rank at zero SHU, jalapeños at 3000-6000 SHU, and habaneros at 300,000 SHU. The Guinness World Record for the highest number of Scoville units in a pepper was awarded to the Carolina Reaper in August, 2013 at 1,569,300 - 2,200,000 SHU.
Types of Chile Peppers[edit]
The most common species of chile peppers are: Capsicum annuum, which includes many common varieties such as bell peppers and jalapeños; Capsicum frutescens, which includes cayenne and tabasco peppers; Capsicum chinense, which includes the hottest peppers such as habaneros and Scotch bonnets; Capsicum pubescens, which includes the South American rocoto peppers; and Capsicum baccatum, which includes the Ají Amarillo and Lemon drop.
Though there are only a few commonly used species, there are far more cultivars and different ways preparing chile peppers that have different common names for culinary use. Green and red bell peppers, for example, are the same cultivar of C. annuum, with the green ones being immature. In the same species are the jalapeño, the chipotle, which is a dried smoked jalapeño, the poblano, ancho (which is a dried poblano), New Mexico, Anaheim, Serrano, and others. Jamaicans, Scotch bonnets, and habaneros are common varieties of C. chinense. Species C. frutescens appears as chiles de arbol, aji, pequin, tabasco, cayenne, cherry peppers, and others.
However, every Capsicum species produces edible fruit.
Consumption and Methods of Preparation[edit]
The fruit is eaten cooked or raw for its fiery hot flavor. Indian, Szechuan and Thai cuisines are particularly associated with the chile pepper, although the plant was unknown in Asia until Europeans introduced it there.
Well-known dishes with a strong chile flavor are salsa, New Mexican chili con carne and Indian vindaloo. Chili powder is a spice made of the dried ancho chiles plus other seasonings added, such as cumin and oregano.
Consumption by Other Animals[edit]
Since birds don't have the same sensitivity to capsaicin as mammals, chile peppers are a favorite food of many birds living in the chile peppers' natural range (along with many birds living in captivity). The flesh of the peppers provides the birds with a nutritious meal rich in vitamin C. In return, the seeds of the peppers are distributed by the birds, as they drop the seeds while eating the pods or the seeds pass through the digestive tract unharmed. This relationship is theorized to have promoted the evolution of the protective capsaicin.
Be careful when handling chiles. For some particularly strong chiles it is advised to wear gloves and to wash them immediately after use. If using bare hands, soak your hands in a soulution of 1 part bleach to 2 parts water, and wash hands immediately afterwards. The bleach will turn the capsiacin into a water-souluble salt. The water will then dissolve it. Do not touch your eyes or any other sensitive body part after handling chilis. If you burn your tongue with chiles, fullfat milk or yogurt is more effective at cooling the mouth - again this is because capsaicin is soluble in fat and alcohol, and because casein sort of blocks capsiacin, but not water; water merely spreads the burn. It's worthwhile to note that alcoholic drinks will not help much, as one would need to be drinking something over 80% alcohol (160 proof) for any real effect to take place. In all likelihood, the burn from the chile pepper would be preferable to the burn from the high-proof liquid.

Note on Spelling[edit]
- Chile is actually the original spelling. When Cristopher Columbus found them, he didn't name them "chili", as most people think.
- This vegetable is not related to the country Chile, which is not a producer of chili peppers. Note: In Chile, as in many other Spanish-speaking countries, the vegetable is known as ají.

Humpty Dumpty listed in Baron's arrest warrant
Among the items allegedly purloined September 22 from Antiquer's Mall in Ruckersville that led to the arrest of Raymond J. Devere-Austin, the Baron of Delvin, are cast-iron statues of Humpty Dumpty, a dog and a horsehead, according to the felony warrant. Devere-Austin, 76, a writer, actor and stuntman, also directed TV classics like The Avengers, The Saint, Hawaii Five-O, Hart to Hart and Magnum PI. A woman answering the phone at his Buck Mountain Road residence declined to comment or take a message for Devere-Austin. He was arrested October 26, and a court date will be set November 18.
2 comments
Sad, royalty is certainly suffering in this economic climate.
A very minor part of the story - but a part of your headline - Mr. Devere-Austin does not appear entitled to claim his title. It belongs to the current 13th Earl of Westmeath (Ireland) (according to Burke's Peerage)

My attention as drawn to this news item about Rupert Murdoch attacking New Jersey governor Chris Christie for his embrace of president Obama's assistance after Hurricane Sandy.
But what caught my eye was not his remarks but the photo caption that said "News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch delivers a keynote address at the National Summit on Education Reform on Friday, Oct. 14, 2011, in San Francisco."
Why is Rupert Murdoch being invited to speak about education reform? What does he know about it? What could he possibly contribute to the discussion? Has he been secretly studying up on the complexities of learning theory in childhood while also systematically destroying the media in the US and UK?
Meanwhile Bill Gates has also now, by virtue of his ability to dispense large sums of money through his charitable foundation, become an authority on education and some school districts follow his guidance because of the money he can provide them.
There is no doubt that people like Bill Gates and Rupert Murdoch have shown considerable ability in making money and running businesses and their views on those topics may well be worth listening to. But education?
The trouble is that rich Americans are often treated as if they are oracles, experts in any area that they choose to gaze upon. This idea that rich people have some generalized wisdom and expertise is as misconceived as the idea that Bobby Fisher could advise on playing bridge because of his undeniable prowess in chess.
Of course, people like Gates and Murdoch are pushing a corporate view of education. And when states and localities starve their public schools of resources, they make them more vulnerable to the allure of these rich people who may think they know what is best for school children but instead are pushing a very narrow view of it.

Gulf rulers take sharper aim at Web dissent
Something unusual happened on Kuwait's normally boisterous online universe after back-to-back convictions this week for insulting the emir on Twitter: There was hardly a mention in apparent fear of being next.
If the Arab Spring uprisings represented the coming of age for social media activism in the Middle East, then the Gulf Arab rulers who have ridden out the upheavals appear to be mounting their own counterrevolution.
Dozens of bloggers, online activists - and even a poet in Qatar - have been detained or prosecuted across the Western-allied Gulf in recent months as part of widening crackdowns on perceived cyber-dissent. The escalating pressures have brought widespread denunciations from free-speech groups and others, and could become an increasing point of friction with the U.S. and other Western backers in the Gulf.
At a November meeting in Dubai, the U.S. led Western opposition to new U.N. telecommunications regulations that critics fear could open the way for greater state oversight of the Net. The White House, meanwhile, has made Internet openness a centerpiece of its foreign policy goals and has sharply criticized Iran for Web clampdowns far wider - but still similar - to those waged in the Gulf.
Gulf authorities are hardly alone in efforts to chase suspected opposition across cyberspace. Syria's President Bashar Assad virtually switched off the Internet briefly last month in apparent attempt to foil rebels, and officials in places such as Jordan closely monitor political content on the Web.
But the Gulf cyber-squeeze highlights the recognition by leaders that even the region's extreme wealth is no buffer to the changes across the Middle East.
Gulf officials argue that opposition groups have used the Web to organize, and claim that Arab Spring-inspired Islamist factions and others could threaten the ruling fraternities from Kuwait to Oman. The six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council, anchored by Saudi Arabia, has pushed for increasing coordination on policies including intelligence and media rules.
"At some level, the Gulf rulers are all facing similar kinds of issues and insecurities, and are on the same page about what to do about it," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "With the Web, that means censorship."
On Wednesday, a court in Bahrain extended the detention of a prominent human rights campaigner charged with posting false reports on Twitter about anti-government protests - part of a nearly two-year uprising by Shiites seeking a greater political voice in the strategic, Sunni-ruled kingdom, which is home to U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
Yousef al-Muhafedha, a senior figure with the Bahrain Center for Human Rights, was arrested last month on allegations he fabricated details about demonstrations in the capital, Manama. The next hearing is set for Jan. 17.
"Nothing says desperation like keeping peaceful human rights activists in jail," said Brian Dooley, director of the human rights defenders program at U.S.-based Human Rights First. "Bahrain needs to engage with leading figures like (al-Muhafedha), not lock them away."
But Gulf leaders have made it clear there are limits to what they will tolerate on the Net, including criticism of the rulers.
In November, the United Arab Emirates set stricter Internet monitoring and enforcement codes. They include giving authorities wider leeway to arrest Web activists for offenses such as mocking the country's leadership or calling for demonstrations.
Bahrain's Interior Ministry also warned in September that full "legal measures" would be taken against any Internet posts that "defame and insult national icons and public figures." Oman has arrested dozens of people in the past year, including journalists and popular bloggers, on charges that included insulting the ruling sultan.
Last year, a group of Saudi clerics and religious scholars urged bans against Western-oriented websites branded as "ideological deviations and delusions."
In Kuwait, the sentences issued this week - separate two-year jail terms to a blogger and online journalists for posts deemed "insulting" to the emir - brought some questions in the press about how far Gulf leaders will go to muzzle critics. But there was little direct criticism among bloggers and others, apparently stunned by the severity of the verdicts.
"It's no longer about being with or against. It's much bigger than that, the price is much more costly than a tag or a label of being "with" the government or "against" the government," wrote Waleed al-Rujaib, a Kuwaiti novelist, in a column Wednesday in the Al-Rai newspaper. "Is this the Kuwait that we once knew? Is this the Kuwait that once was a beacon for democracy among other countries in the region?"
Kuwait, which has the most politically empowered parliament among the Gulf Arab nations, is currently locked in showdowns between the government and opposition groups that include rare alliances of convenience between conservative Islamists and pro-reform liberals.
In a prison in Qatar, poet Muhammad ibn al-Dheeb al-Ajami is allowed only visits from family members and his lawyer as he hopes to overturn a life sentence for an Arab Spring-inspired verse that officials claim insulted the country's emir.
Al-Ajami was jailed in November 2011, months after an Internet video was posted of him reciting "Tunisian Jasmine," a poem lauding that country's popular uprising that touched off the Arab Spring rebellions. In the poem, he said, "We are all Tunisia in the face of repressive" authorities - and he criticized Arab governments that restrict freedoms.
Qatari officials charged al-Ajami with "insulting" the Gulf nation's ruler and "inciting to overthrow the ruling system." The latter charge could have brought a death sentence.
"He is a poet. He lives in a world of words, not politics," said his lawyer, Najib al-Naimi. "He loves his country and respects the emir. A society need not be afraid of words."
Associated Press writer Hussain al-Qatari in Kuwait City contributed to this report.

A host of historic monuments in the very heart of Andalusia
Antequera is a wealthy town, both culturally and economically. Its historic centre is made up of more than 50 monuments and buildings dating as far back as the Bronze Age, such as the Menga Cave, Viera and Romeral dolmens.
The castle and Santa María Basilica can be found at the top of the town. In the historic centre there are a series of churches, collegiate churches, monasteries and convents, palaces, arches, gates, shrines, stately houses and a citadel. Most outstanding are Nájera Palace (18th century), currently the municipal museum, the Catalinas Convent and the palace of the Marquises of La Peña, in Mudejar and Renaissance style. It is well worth a trip to the El Torcal Nature Area nearby. Don't miss the Easter week celebrations, rich in tradition, with ancient historical roots.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the USS Enterprise CVN-65, the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier. Her first crucial role was in the Cuban Missile Crisis blockade, as part of the 2nd Fleet, in October 1962.
The CVN-65 is the eighth US ship to bear the Enterprise name, following the Yorktown-class aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, the most decorated naval vessel in the United States and one of the key ships in the Battle of Midway.
Still in active service, the Enterprise CVN-65 is 1,123-feet long, which makes it the longest navy ship in the world. However, overall its smaller than the ten Nimitz-class supercarrier at 93,284 long tons.
This time line—made by Huntington Ingalls Industries, a defense company that builds and maintains nuclear and non-nuclear ships for the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard—shows the evolution of all the Enterprises, from the 1775 original—captured by Colonel Benedit Arnold to the British—to the 2245 Federation ship. Gene Roddenberry decided to use the name Enterprise when he created the series in 1966, inspired by the nuclear carrier that is now 50 years old. [Huntington Ingalls Industries]

Hm, a beautiful mature blond who oozes sex appeal and seduction? Wonder what role Kim Basinger will play?
E! News has confirmed that the 62-year-old actress has closed a deal to join the cast of the highly anticipated "Fifty Shades of Grey" sequel, "Fifty Shades Darker."
And yes, as all of the fans can already guess, Basinger will take on the part of Elena Lincoln, Christian Grey's business partner and, more importantly, former love interest who first introduced him into the world of S&M.
U.S. & World
This won't be the first time Basinger takes on big screen erotica.
She first came on the scene back in 1986 with "9 1/2 Weeks," where she played an art gallery assistant who gets thrown into a sexual whirlwind full of leather and bondage with a Wall Street trader, played by Mickey Rourke.
Jamie Dornan will return to the "Fifty Shades" sequel playing the hunky billionaire, along with his co-star Dakota Johnson, who will reprise her role as Anastasia Steele. James Foley is directing both "Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed" with Niall Leonard adapting both screenplays.
The film, which is slated to begin production in mid-February, is scheduled for release on February 10, 2017.
(E! Online and Universal Pictures are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)

The Social Security Board of Trustees today released its 76th annual report to Congress on the financial status of the Social Security trust funds. As a trustee of Social Security funds, I work with the other trustees to ensure the public is informed about the status of Social Security's finances for the short term and over the next 75 years.
Workers earn their Social Security benefits by contributing through deductions from their paychecks. The Social Security trust funds include the Old Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) fund, which pays benefits to retired workers and their families and to the families of deceased workers; and the Disability Insurance (DI) fund, which pays benefits to disabled workers and their families.
Today's report shows that, as a whole, Social Security is fully funded until 2034, and after that it is about three-quarters financed. Considered alone, the DI Trust Fund is projected to become depleted sooner than the combined Social Security funds. I am pleased that legislation signed into law by President Obama last November averted a near-term shortfall in DI. With that small, temporary reallocation of the Social Security contribution rate, the DI fund will now be able to pay full benefits until 2023, and the retirement fund alone will be adequate into 2035. It is important that Congress act well before 2023 in order to strengthen the finances of the program as a whole.
Young people frequently ask: "Will Social Security be there for me?" I take this question very seriously, and I am sure Social Security will be there in the future. Its total cost is now about 5% of the national economy, or GDP. That will rise to about 6% when all of the baby boomers are retired. That increase, 1% of GDP, is less than the nation's increase in spending for public education when baby boomers were children.
As President Obama recently said:
"Fewer and fewer people have pensions they can really count on, which is why Social Security is more important than ever. We can't afford to weaken Social Security. We should be strengthening Social Security. Not only do we need to strengthen its long-term health, it's time we finally made Social Security more generous, and increased its benefits so that today's retirees and future generations get the dignified retirement that they've earned."
Like the President, I am confident we will rise to the challenge. Social Security is an earned benefit—a benefit that is critically important to the people who receive it. It is a foundation of economic security when workers and their families face what Franklin D. Roosevelt called "the hazards and vicissitudes of life." It is the nation's most effective poverty prevention program, keeping 21 million people out of poverty. So when we talk about Social Security financing, it's not just a budget exercise – it's our retirement system and our family economic security system, now and for the future.
Lawmakers have many policy options to address the shortfall: increasing contribution rates, lifting the cap on earnings subject to contributions, drawing on other revenue sources, lowering benefit amounts, or a combination of changes. Social Security's independent actuaries have analyzed over 100 policy proposals from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, and those results are available on the Actuary's website. Lawmakers should act soon to address the long-term shortfall and preserve the reserves that yield interest income to help pay future benefits.
I am confident about the future of Social Security. We look forward to continuing to serve the American people by delivering the foundation of economic security that we know as Social Security
