Mail Delivery Services
USPS (United Postal Services)
Mail Delivery
All USPS mail is delivered to the Campus Mail Center by 9:00 a.m., Monday through Friday. After the mail is delivered it may take the Mail Center approximately one to three hours to sort and distribute, depending on the amount and the time of year. For routine mail pick-up, please refer to the hours of operations (10:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.). An earlier attempt to pick up mail from Mail Center staff disrupts the processing of mail, so students, faculty and staff are asked to observe regular operating hours. Urgent cases will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Please contact the Mail Center Manager for assistance.
Please have your mail addressed correctly by having your mailbox number on the mail pieces. This will speed up sorting and distribution time. Please keep in mind that if the mailbox number is not on the mail piece, that mail is the last mail to be processed and may even take an additional day.
When a student receives a piece of mail too large for the mailbox an email notice is generated and sent to the student's Limestone email account. The only time a student will be called is if they receive flowers or a perishable package. Students must have their College ID in order to pick up packages, no exceptions. The Campus Mail Center cannot store packages for extended periods due to the large volume of packages received daily. If a package is left unclaimed for five business days, a second email will be sent. Packages not picked-up five business days after the second notice (10 days total) will be returned to the sender.
Unidentified Mail: Your mail and packages are very important to us, and we take every step to identify the receiver of the mail/packages. If we are unable to identify the receiver of the package, we will hold the package for 72 hours before returning the item to the sender. If a return address is not provided, the item will go to a "dead letter" bin for 60 days.
Outgoing USPS
Outgoing mail is picked up at 2:30 p.m. Any mail dropped off after that time will not be mailed until the next business day. The Campus Mail Center is not a post office; therefore we cannot postmark or round date your mail. The Mail Center also sells a variety of stamps.
Letters that need special handling and all packages need to be taken to the local post office located at 1208 W. Floyd Baker Blvd, Gaffney, SC. These pieces will require a tracking number and the Campus Mail Center cannot provide that service. We only sell postage stamps.
UPS (United Parcel Service): UPS arrives once a day. There is no set time when they arrive and it depends on the time of year and the size of the load. The Mail Center also has a scheduled daily pick up and students are able to use this service only if the package has a prepaid label. The Campus Mail Center is unable to send packages without a prepaid label. If you would like to ship via UPS, please go to UPS.com and process a shipping label and pay with a credit card, then bring the package to the mail room by 2:00 p.m.
Federal Express: There are three different types of Federal Express services: Overnight, Ground, and Home Delivery. There is no set time when these couriers arrive and it will depend on the time of year and size of load. Students may also leave FedEx packages at the Campus Mail Center if they have a prepaid label. The Campus Mail Center is unable to send packages through FedEx without a prepaid label.

So, it is Sunday morning.
Later today the Colts will play the Patriots.
I know that many of you start skimming (at best) as soon as I mention sports, but I promise this will be short. And it is important.
You see, this is more than a football game.
This is the classic battle of Good vs. Evil.
It's really quite that simple.
Let's compare, shall we:
Colts QB Peyton Manning: Married man. Great role model for kids.
Patriots QB Tom Brady: Knocking up broads all over the east coast. (Clearly "double coverage" is strictly a football term for this dude.)
Colts WR Marvin Harrison: Humble, quiet, unassuming star. One of the all-time greats.
Patriots WR Randy Moss: Once hit a meter maid with his car.
Colts Franchise: Places as much importance on character and what people do off the field as they do on game day.
Patriots Franchise: Videotaped opponents side line signs for years in order to gain an unfair, and illegal, advantage.
Colts Coach Tony Dungy: Highly respected, man of God, quiet strength, pure class.
Patriots Coach Bill Belichick: Biggest prick on earth.
I don't want to be overly dramatic here…
But, cheering for the Patriots is like watching WWII and rooting for the Nazis because you admire the way they do business.
I'm just sayin'.
I should warn you all that if the evil Patriots win today, I am going to be in a sour mood. And it could last.
I'm not just going to be cranky, I am going to be mad.
Very GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
So, if you see me on the street, or google talk, you might want to cut a wide berth.
I already told my cousin in Boston that I don't want to hear from her at all today.
And for even longer should her team win.
She said, "Likewise, dude."
It's a good thing we don't take sports seriously in my family.
Go Colts!

Parker review
Lisini's 2013 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a delightful appearance that sees shades of garnet and dark ruby blend into one. The bouquet is sprightly and buoyant, thanks to a pretty ensemble of wild berry, licorice and grilled herb aromas. Those are mixed with heavier background tones of spice and leather. There is also a noticeable floral note of wild rose and dried jasmine. This is a silky and smooth Brunello with a hint of fresh acidity on the close. 93/100.
Antonio Galloni's Vinous.com: 93/100 ! Bright medium red. Spicy, floral perfumes of red cherry, red currant, licorice and minty herbs. At once juicy and lively, but also dense and energetic; bright, harmonious acidity nicely frames the cool flavors of red currant, spicy plum and minty herbs. This refined Brunello boasts outstanding tension, midpalate energy and focus. Finishes with polished tannins and noteworthy floral lift.
WineSpectator.com: 96/100 ! Exuding cherry, strawberry and floral flavors tinged with iron, earth and spice notes, this ripe red is elegant in profile, tightly wound and deftly balanced, ending with a kick of fruit, spice and mineral elements. Best from 2020 through 2037.
WineEnthusiast.com : 94/100 ! Fruity aromas of wild red berry align with earthy notes of forest floor, new leather and fragrant purple flower. The smooth ripe palate offers juicy Morello cherry, star anise, orange zest and an earthy hint of game. It's savory and loaded with personality. Drink 2021–2028.

The Gold Rush of 2013?
It appears that we may just be about to witness a surge in online gambling legislation around the United States of America. Through the early days of growth in the online gambling market, the United States seemed to have missed what was an opportunity for economic growth in a new segment, as demonstrated by a conservative president reacting in 2006 with a very weak act in an attempt to block access to online gambling websites.

My Mid-College Life Crisis
Okay, maybe crisis is a bit extreme.
The other day I got a text from Bumble. She was in one of those weird moods when you know what you're complaining about makes no sense, there's no reason to complain, yet you still want to complain. And nothing anyone says is going to make you feel any better about the matter. Ever been there?
|How could I resist adding a picture of my beautiful best friend?
Fun Fact: this is one of the few pictures Bumble & I can agree on liking!
I realized as I tried to console her with logic, (very unsuccessfully, I might add) that she was probably just temporarily unhappy with life. Which caused me to think about my own life. Don't get me wrong, I am beyond blessed to be where I am with the friends that I have, but something just isn't right.
I was quoted in my high school yearbook saying "If I couldn't dance, my life would fall apart."
It hit me the other day that I haven't taken a dance class in over two years. Yes, I preformed in songfest last year, but it wasn't serious, technical dance.
|Songfest 2011!
I've let my life become so busy that I haven't had time to do things that I truly love. I love to dance. I put my entire heart and soul into it and there's really nothing that compares for me. Dance offered me a creative outlet that I no longer have.
To say my life is falling apart would be a bit of an overstatement, but this has made me realize that sometimes we need to schedule out time to do the things we love so they don't get lost in a sea of other to-dos.
One of my goals for the semester was to read for pleasure. I used to read all the time for fun and I lost it as I was in high school. I just finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and while I was in the middle of it, I was itching to keep reading! Yes, I know how it ends, but I still wanted to read it! I found that I have to tell myself that I can read one chapter then I have to sleep, otherwise I'll be up into the wee hours of the morning reading.
I'm resolving to make some more goals for the rest of the semester.
Goal one: I want to spend more time blogging. I was so good about posting every other day over the summer and being back on campus has gotten the best of me! I promise to post at least once a week, but I will try to blog more often than that!
Goal two: I will find a way to dance. This is definitely a more ambiguous goal, but as I move forward I will find someway of accomplishing it! I know I will be auditioning for MTV Night for greek week, so this will help and I think I will audition for Dance Club in the spring.
But, most importantly, I resolve to start doing things that make me happy.
Have you stopped doing something you love?

Click here to buy The Fortunate Tiger
I was returning one day towards the latter end of March, after visiting a village on the Kedarnath pilgrim route, when, as I approached a spot where the road runs close alongside the Mandakini river, and where there is a water fall ten to twelve feet high, I saw a number of men sitting on the rock at the head of the fall on the far side of the river, armed with a triangular net attached to a long bamboo pole. The roar of the water prevented conversation, so leaving the road I sat down on the rocks on my side of the fall, to have a rest and a smoke—for I had walked far that day—and to see what the men were doing.
Presently one of the men got to his feet, and as he pointed down excitedly into the foaming white water at the foot of the fall, two of his companions manning the long pole held the triangular net close to the fall. A large shoal of mahseer fish, varying in size from five to fifty pounds, were attempting to leap the fall. One of these fish, about ten pounds in weight, leapt clear of the fall and when falling back was expertly caught in the net. After the fish had been extracted and placed in a basket, the net was again held out close to the fall. I watched the sport for about an hour, during which time the men caught four fish, all about the same size—ten pounds.
On my previous visit to Rudraprayag I had been informed by the chowkidar in charge of the Inspection Bungalow that there was good fishing in the spring—before the snow-water came down—in both the Alaknanda and Mandakini rivers, so I had come armed on this my second visit with a fourteen- foot split cane salmon rod, a silex reel with 250 yards of line, a few stout traces, and an assortment of home-made brass spoons varying in size from one to two inches.
The following morning—as no news had come in of the man-eater—I set off for the waterfall with my rod and tackle.
No fish were leaping the fall as they had been doing the previous day, and the men on the far side of the river were sitting in a group round a small fire smoking a hookah which was passing from hand to hand. They watched me with interest.
Below the waterfall was a pool thirty to forty yards wide, flanked on both sides by a wall of rock, and about 200 yards long, 100 yards of which was visible from where I stood at the head of the pool. The water in this beautiful and imposing pool was crystal-clear.
The rock face at the head of the pool rose sheer up out of the water to a height of twelve feet, and after keeping at this height for twenty yards, sloped gradually upwards to a height of a hundred feet. It was not possible to get down to water level anywhere on my side of the pool, nor would it be possible, or profitable, to follow a fish—assuming that I hooked one— along the bank, for at the top of the high ground there were trees and bushes, and at the tail of the pool the river cascaded down in a foaming torrent to its junction with the Alaknanda. To land a fish in this pool would be a difficult and a hazardous task, but the crossing of that bridge could be deferred until the fish had been hooked—and I had not yet put together my rod.
On my side of the pool the water—shot through with millions of small bubbles—was deep, and from about half-way across a shingle bottom was showing, over which four to six feet of water was flowing. Above this shingle bottom, every stone and pebble of which was visible in the clear water, a number of fish, ranging in size from three to ten pounds, were slowly moving upstream.
As I watched these fish, standing on the rocks twelve feet above the water with a two-inch spoon mounted with a single strong treble hook in my hand, a flight of fingerlings flashed out of the deep water and went skimming over the shingle bottom, hotly pursued by three big mahseer. Using the good salmon rod as friend Hardy had never intended that it should be used—and as it had been used on many previous occasions—I slung the spoon out, and in my eagerness over-estimated the distance, with the result that the spoon struck the rock on the far side of the pool, about two feet above the water. The falling of the spoon into the water coincided with the arrival of the fingerlings at the rock, and the spoon had hardly touched the water, when it was taken by the leading mahseer.
Striking with a long line from an elevated position entails a very heavy strain, but my good rod stood the strain, and the strong treble hook was firmly fixed in the mahseer's mouth. For a moment or two the fish did not appear to realize what had happened as, standing perpendicularly in the water with his white belly towards me, he shook his head from side to side, and then, possibly frightened by the dangling spoon striking against his head, he gave a mighty splash and went tearing downstream, scattering in all directions the smaller fish that were lying on the shingle bottom.
In his first run the mahseer ripped a hundred yards of line off the reel, and after a moment's check carried on for another fifty yards. There was plenty of line still on the reel, but the fish had now gone round the bend and was getting dangerously near the tail of the pool. Alternately easing and tightening the strain on the line, I eventually succeeded in turning his head upstream, and having done so, very gently pulled him round the bend, into the hundred yards of water I was overlooking.
Just below me a projection of rock had formed a backwater, and into this backwater the fish, after half an hour's game fight, permitted himself to be drawn.
I had now very definitely reached my bridge and had just regretfully decided that, as there was no way of crossing it, the fish would have to be cut adrift, when a shadow fell across the rock beside me. Peering over the rock into the backwater, the new arrival remarked that it was a very big fish, and in the same breath asked what I was going to do about it. When I told him that it would not be possible to draw the fish up the face of the rock, and that therefore the only thing to do was to cut it free, he said, 'Wait, Sahib, I will fetch my brother.' His brother—a long and lanky stripling with dancing eyes—had quite evidently been cleaning out a cow shed when summoned, so telling him to go upstream and wash himself lest he should slip on the smooth rock, I held council with the elder man.
Starting from where we were standing, a crack, a few inches wide, ran irregularly down the face of the rock, ending a foot above the water in a ledge some six inches wide. The plan we finally agreed on was that the stripling—who presently returned with his arms and legs glistening with water—should go down to the ledge, while the elder brother went down the crack far enough to get hold of the stripling's left hand, while I lay on the rock holding the elder brother's other hand. Before embarking on the plan I asked the brothers whether they knew how to handle a fish and whether they could swim, and received the laughing answer that they had handled fish and swum in the river from childhood.
The snag in the plan was that I could not hold the rod and at the same time make a link in the chain. However, some risk had to be taken, so I put the rod down and held the line in my hand, and when the brothers had taken up position I sprawled on the rock and, reaching down, got hold of the elder brother's hand. Then very gently I drew the fish towards the rock, holding the line alternately with my left hand and with my teeth. There was no question that the stripling knew how to handle a fish, for before the fish had touched the rock, he had inserted his thumb into one side of the gills and his fingers into the other, getting a firm grip on the fish's throat. Up to this point the fish had been quite amenable, but on having its throat seized, it lashed out, and for seconds it appeared that the three of us would go headlong into the river.
Both brothers were bare-footed, and when I had been relieved of the necessity of holding the line and was able to help with both hands, they turned and, facing the rock, worked their way up with their toes, while I pulled lustily from on top.
When the fish at last had been safely landed, I asked the brothers if they ate fish, and on receiving their eager answer that they most certainly did, when they could get any, I told them I would give them the fish we had just landed—a mahseer in grand condition weighing a little over thirty pounds—if they would help me to land another fish for my men. To this they very readily agreed.
The treble had bitten deep into the leathery underlip of the mahseer, and as I cut it out, the brothers watched interestedly. When the hook was free, they asked if they might have a look at it. Three hooks in one, such a thing had never been seen in their village. The bit of bent brass of course acted as a sinker. With what were the hooks baited? Why should fish want to eat brass? And was it really brass, or some kind of hardened bait? When the spoon, and the trace with its three swivels, had been commented on and marvelled at, I made the brothers sit down and watch while I set about catching the second fish.
The biggest fish in the pool were at the foot of the fall, but here in the foaming white water, in addition to mahseer were some very big goonch, a fish that takes a spoon of dead bait very readily, and which is responsible for 90 per cent of the tackle lost in our hill rivers through its annoying habit of diving to the bottom of the pool when hooked and getting its head under a rock from where it is always difficult, and often impossible, to dislodge it.
No better spot than the place from where I had made my first cast was available, so here I again took up my position, with rod in hand and spoon held ready for casting.
The fish on the shingle bottom had been disturbed while I was playing the mahseer and by our subsequent movements on the face of the rock but were now beginning to return, and presently an exclamation from the brothers, and an excited pointing of fingers, drew my attention to a big fish downstream where the shingle bottom ended and the deep water began. Before I was able to make a cast, the fish turned and disappeared in the deep water, but a little later it reappeared, and as it came into the shallow water I made a cast, but owing to the line being wet the cast fell short. The second cast was beautifully placed and beautifully timed, the spoon striking the water exactly where I wanted it to. Waiting for a second to give the spoon time to sink, I started to wind in the line, giving the spoon just the right amount of spin, and as I drew it along in little jerks, the mahseer shot forward, and next moment, with the hook firmly fixed in his mouth, jumped clean out of the water, fell back with a great splash, and went madly downstream, much to the excitement of the spectators, for the men on the far bank had been watching the proceedings as intently as the brothers.
As the reel spun round and the line paid out, the brothers— now standing one on either side of me—urged me not to let the fish go down the run at the trail of the pool. Easier said than done, for it is not possible to stop the first mad rush of a mahseer of any size without risking certain break, or the tearing away of the hook-hold. Our luck was in, or else the fish feared the run, for when there was less than fifty yards of line on the reel he checked, and though he continued to fight gamely he was eventually drawn round the bend, and into the little backwater at the foot of the rock.
The landing of this second fish was not as difficult as the landing of the first had been, for we each knew our places on the rock and exactly what to do.
Both fish were the same length, but the second was a little heavier than the first, and while the elder brother set off in triumph for his village with his fish carried over his shoulder— threaded on a grass cable he had made—the stripling begged to be allowed to accompany me back to the Inspection Bungalow, and to carry both my fish and my rod. Having in the days of long ago been a boy myself, and having had a brother who fished, there was no need for the stripling when making his request to have said, 'If you will let me carry both the fish and the rod, and will walk a little distance behind me, Sahib, all the people who see me on the road, and in the bazaar, will think that I have caught this great fish, the like of which they have never seen.'

The government arrives in town, as do insurance adjusters, special assistance and charitable groups like the Red Cross, and other resources, offering people who have been suffering due to disruption, medical issues and property loss some respite. This is as it should be.
But when a property loss happens to just one person, perhaps due to plumbing failure or a problem with a leaking roof or a fire, it can seem to those impacted like nobody cares. Certainly, the adjuster comes to visit. But apart from that attention, there is no help coming from anywhere. The property may be just as torn up and damaged as it would have been after a hurricane. However, there is no weather crew watching and there is no charitable organization ready to help pick up the pieces.
For those homeowners who have suffered through a devastating personal disaster, the financial questions about remediation for their damaged property are a looming every-minute thought. If the damage has been such that the family cannot live in the property until it is cleaned up, the quickly mounting costs of hotel stays, missed work, extraordinary transportation and child care costs all start forming a pile of bills that can scare the steadiest of homeowners.
The thought of the cost should not prevent any property owner from contacting a professional remediation company when there has been property damage. For one thing, the remediation of property damage will almost immediately pay for itself in the value of the home. For another, remediating most damage is a matter of risk management. Without the water removal, mold is a much larger issue, for instance. And finally, remediation of the property issue puts the displaced family back on solid ground. There is probably not a price that can be put on that.
Most professional property remediation companies will offer financing options for their services. This is not only because it's practical – most people don't have enough saved up to cover a devastating emergency like this one – but because it's the right thing to do. People who are suffering deserve help, and a professional organization that's in place to help fix what remains of a real critical issue are the people who want to help.
Financing options for property damage remediation can include credit card financing, available loans, access to third party financing for property remediation services, along with other industry and area-specific types of financing. The truth is that the property restoration companies who want to help put a property back together also want to find ways to help the property owner pay for that service as easily and painlessly as possible. Any professional flood, mold or fire property remediation company should offer easy financing and a quick and painless approval process for its clients. It's the right thing to do.

Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots were able to hold off the Seattle Seahawks in a game that came down to the absolute wire.
And like most Americans, plenty of country stars were on the edge of their seats as it all went down. Some of them just had actual seats in the University of Phoenix stadium. Seats which, on average, went for over $4,000.
Check out some country music's brightest stars at the big game.
Little Big Town were in the house.
As was Brett Eldredge, who got in some tailgating in before kickoff.
Kenny Chesney and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler were there.

The great people that I work with at Uniserve (hello Paul, Kate (Trgovac), Dethe, Joanna, Kate (Inglis), Vince) have launched a great new product. It's called Kinzin, and it's a site where people can create many small, overlapping, family-centric social networks. It's very cool, and the launch promotion right now is a free high-end custom photobook for a Mom in your family if you sign up and create a family space. It's kind of in a public beta phase, and it would be excellent if you would sign up and try it out.
With families getting spread out geographically and bigger age gaps between generations, there are very few truly shared family spaces, where families can share and nurture their micro-cultures. Kinzin is an attempt to give people the tools to create those spaces for themselves. It's just the beginning, too – there are all sorts of cool things coming down the pipe. Check it out!

An innovative application of a cell retention device in the clarification step developed by Repligen, High Productivity Harvest for Fed-Batch processes has both productivity and process benefits.
A traditional clarification process typically includes multi-stage harvest steps that are equipment-intensive and known to have high variability in processing. Because of the materials of construction used, extensive rinsing is needed causing large usage of buffer/WFI.
During centrifugation, there are no true linear scaling tools making it very labor-intensive. Lastly, traditional clarification processes are usually performed in an open system that is inherently non-sterile and not aligned with the industry trend to manufacture in closed system facilities.
High Productivity Harvest uses an XCell™ ATF Cell Retention Device after peak density is achieved in a typical Fed-Batch process. Fresh media is added in a set flow rate while the harvesting of the product is initiated. This results in significant productivity and process gains.
Increase productivity
Improve processes
Step A
The fed-batch process is started inthe same way.
Step B
Once the peak cell density is achieved, start to pump fresh media in at a set flow rate between 0.1 and 1 vvd. As fresh media is pumped in, the harvesting of the product is initiated. In this example, the media exchange was started on Day 10, but this is flexible depending on the process.
Step C
On the last day of the run, end addition of fresh media and start to draw down the volume in the reactor at 1-2 vvd. Operating at 20LMH for a 1000L reactor, the reactor will be harvested in approximately 4 hours. If a 2000L reactor it will take approximately 8 hours.
Step D
High Productivity Harvest is completed to match the original fed batch production timing.
Typical Fed-Batch process
Start of High Productivity Harvest
~ 0.1 – 1 vvd
Start of Draw Down
~ 1 – 2 vvd
Finish High Productivity Harvest and
Matching typical Fed-Batch
Production Timing
Harvest ready for purification
Higher viable cell density and viability
Higher product quality
Alternating Tangential Flow (ATF) Filtration
An award-winning technology, ATF allows the removal of spent media while keeping cells in culture. Applied using an XCell™ ATF device attached to a bioreactor, ATF minimizes cell shear and keeps cells in constant equilibrium with bioreactor contents. This results in faster cell growth at higher densities with higher productivity. Today, the XCell™ ATF device, in single-use or reusable format, is the leading perfusion device for mAb and rProtein production.

A bomb knocked off the head of a statue of the Yugoslav dictator Tito in his hometown, Kumrovec, in northern Croatia, the news agency Hina reported. The blast wrecked the life-size statue, the news agency said, and a television station showed the statue on the ground, its head missing. The statue was erected near the house where Tito -- who ruled Yugoslavia with an iron fist from 1945 until his death in 1980 -- was born in 1892. After the country's violent breakup in the early 1990's, his popularity in Croatia sank.

I feel that for a few weeks now I've had a gradual, sustained opening of the heart. It is because I asked for it, I think, but it is not of my own doing. Certainly the culmination was Homecoming 2015 this past weekend, where I explicitly made the opening of the heart the project. I had many there to teach me, perhaps greatest of all Jim McCarty's meditation and the example of his life.
What I've realized is that it is the recognition of the heart opening that has been most profound for me. I'm not simply transforming, but I'm reflecting and feeling the transformation in a way I haven't often been able to in the past. It's awful hard to accept any credit for it, but it does seem like a matter of timing and circumstance. I believe that reading Stephen Tyman's "A Fool's Phenomenology" has been a great help, as it has, either or both, (A) given my mind the tools to identity what's going on within, (B) occupied my mind enough to let something more subtle and deep through. Either way, I couldn't be more grateful.
It occurs to me that the occasion of transformation is something that is really only noticed in its essence in retrospect. For a very long time I have felt hampered, held back, unable to sincerely commit to a spiritual path. I'm most grateful for an authentic mode of this experience, but from whence comes this authenticity? It's as if a driveshaft, so long out of alignment, skipping along the transmission, hitting and missing, has suddenly aligned. Is it possible to see these obstacles as not simply preventing the experience I seek but also building up to it, chipping away the driveshaft into a workable mechanism?
Much of this centers on the release of self-judgment, a more relaxed and faithful praxis in my personal life. I've been dieting and exercising, and for a perfectionist this is a recipe for giving up. But I've been so much more successful by letting myself fail, forget, and stumble, and simple working on picking up the practice again. There's no way to describe why this occurs now rather than before. It must be some sort of change of perspective, some unfathomable unblocking that has allowed the potential to find its kinetic.
Marijuana has also been a factor. I've seen it as something I enjoy but cannot use without implicitly rejecting a spiritual path. And the experience of Homecoming, where I abstained, has shown me that it was never about the pot. It's been about a long process of learning how to, so to speak, grow new senses.
Pot makes people lazy, forgetful, selfish, paranoid, etc. The list goes on. It has not had a completely positive effect on my life. Within me it engenders an inwardness that I never really recognized as positive, and in many ways was not (it didn't help me connect with others, if anything it prevented it). However, one sense in which it was useful to this process within which I now write is a sense of self in a more visceral and direct mode, a way of paying attention to one's inner state. Pot helped me gain an interior experience that helped me recognize when more authentic inner change was at work. My point is not to recommend marijuana; it's to show how we truly do not understand how life works in its patterns and cycles. And lately I've felt a strong, natural desire to discontinue its use, which feels not good or bad but simply appropriate, in the way snowfall in Februrary is.
Much of the utility of the meditative, contemplative, reflective life is in the cultivation of this interiority, so that there is a workable apparatus of consciousness and study that need not rely on the outer world being in perfect order. In fact, the metaphor of alignment in the drive shaft example I described earlier is something I thought about today with respect to pot and other elements which have often stuck me as impediments to a more aware life. I was thinking today that perhaps it is the programming of the higher self to purposely hold back certain aspects of one's growth to let others catch up, so that forward motion can occur as a concert of many aspects of self.
Imagine a bunch of planes that need to fly in formation. Before the order is given, they may be flying on different vectors; this is easily corrected. They might be going different speeds--again, easily corrected. But some might need to slow down to let others catch up is an unavoidable necessity if one wants all of them to fly in unison. If we impede ourselves, limit and hold ourselves back, perhaps it is not a matter of doing wrong. Perhaps it is setting the stage for the true blossoming. The best we can do is to patiently wait for the alignment of the stars within. That which is not needed truly does fall away, but in its own time, for its own reasons.

Wedding Photographer : Dario Endara Wedding Photography

Ceremony Location : Hoogerheide
Reception : Martinushoeve
Wedding Date : 24th April 2015
Couple : Lars + Renee
Wedding Photographer N/A
Ceremony Location : Hoogerheide
Reception : Martinushoeve
Wedding Date : 24th April 2015
Tell us a little about yourself??I'm an American wedding photographer living in the Netherlands. I've lived here now for almost 5 years. I'm also a travel photographer, which is my other passion.
How do you think or would like people to describe you?I think people would describe me as someone who enjoys life and traveling around the world and meeting new people. I would also be described as someone who cares very deeply for animals and nature.
Tell us a little bit about the wedding day?The wedding was special because it took place in two countries. The preparations and the ceremony took place in the Netherlands and ended with the dinner and reception in Belgium. The couple, Lars and Renée, were very easygoing and made the photo shoot fun. In the Netherlands, weddings aren't typically traditional. After Lars got ready at his house, he got in his car and went to pick up Renée at her parent's house where she got ready.
They then headed to the ceremony location where they got married. They returned back to their house for a cocktail hour and enjoy some time with their guests. Then we headed to the dinner location across the border in Belgium. On the way to the dinner location, we stopped for an hour for some photos at an old abandoned factory. They both loved the industrial look and feel of this place. After dinner, they performed their opening dance to the delight of all their guests.
How did you get into wedding photography?Accidentally, when one of my friends was getting married. She asked me if I could shoot her wedding since she loved my travel photography. I had no experience with weddings prior to her wedding. But I quickly learned and eventually grew into it.
How long have you been a wedding photographer?5 years.
Can you share how you've made your wedding photography business a success? Any mistakes you made along the way?Luckily I've been successful in wedding photography due to constantly learning what works and what doesn't. It's been trial and error. My style of photography has evolved over the years to what it is today. I've learned to be more efficient with shooting as well as the post processing.
What do you think a bride or groom should be looking for and not looking for in terms of wedding photography packages?A bride and groom should look for a photographer that's professional and that they can trust will do a great job on their day.
How do you advertise yourself and what for you has really worked?I advertise all over the place. Mainly I advertise on popular wedding websites in the Netherlands. I also attend wedding fairs throughout the year to promote myself. What has really worked for me is to always keep up with what's happening and to constantly try to out-do myself.
Why do you think people hire you?I want to think it's because of my photographic skills. Of course this is the most important to clients. But what's also important is that there is a good connection when we first meet.
How many weddings do you average per year?40
Whose wedding would you love to shoot?Yours!
If you were asked to shoot a destination wedding, where would you hope it would be?New Zealand or Iceland
What equipment do you have for a typical wedding day?I always carry 2 Canon 5D Mark III bodies as well as Canon lenses which include: 16-35mm 2.8, 24-70mm 2.8, 50mm 1.2, 85mm 1.2, 70-200mm 2.8 IS. I also carry two tripods, 2 external flashes, tons of memory cards and batteries and two carrying bags. I also have a camera holster around my waist for quick access to my gear.
What is the most challenging thing about a wedding.
Do you have an approach to a wedding?Yes. I like to try different shots to not repeat myself. Ideally I'd like to do better than my last wedding.
Who or what inspires you?In general, great photographers out there who are always pushing the boundaries.
Best & Worst marketing idea so far?Best: Pinterest my photos. Worst: Not getting as involved in social media as much as I'd like to.
If you weren't a photographer, what would you be?Environmentalist or Researcher
Share your favourite image of the day and why?This is my favourite image, it shows the spontaneity and the fact that they were having fun. I also like it photographically. The colors and contrasts work for me.
Do you have any goals for the future photography related or otherwise?Just to keep improving and perhaps in the future, teach photography workshops.
What do you think is key to being a successful wedding photographer?Produce fresh new images that make you stand out from everyone else and avoid the posed cheesy photos. Always respect the client's needs and have a great relationship with them. After all, they will be referring you to their friends hopefully!
Are there any other wedding photographers whose work inspires you, can be a well know photographer or somebody you've stumbled across?It's a combination of many photographers I've seen online.
Proudest moment so far. Photography related or otherwise?Proudest moment? When I officially registered my photography business in the Netherlands!

Bug Tracker
Using the Mercurial bug tracker.
1. Finding the right bug tracker
Please first check if your issue is caused by a GUI tool or third-party extension. Other bug trackers include:
2. Getting started
Mercurial's bug tracking system is located at http://bz.selenic.com/. It's used for tracking known bugs, requested features, and wishlist items.
Most bug tracker usage will need you to register an account so that you can get updates on your bug reports.
3. Creating a new issue
Before filing a new bug, please use the search form to try to locate similar bugs.
When creating a new issue, put a specific summary of your issue in the title.
3.1. Choosing a priority
Please try to select the most appropriate severity:
- bug - the software isn't working as you expect
- feature - it's not a bug, it's a feature request, good patches will probably be accepted
Once the bug is filed, there will be a priority associated with it:
- critical - top priority (data loss, security issue, or major regression)
- urgent - high priority (bug that's blocking development or is a regression)
- normal - medium priority (no data loss involved)
- wish - very low priority (it could perhaps be nice to have but may be close to a WONTFIX resolution)
A regression is defined as a bug that breaks something that worked in earlier releases.
Critical bugs may trigger out-of-cycle releases.
3.2. Helpful Information to include in your description
- The version of Mercurial you're using
- The operating system you're using
- Any third-party tools you're using
- The command you were running
- The precise traceback or error message you received
- If you're using Windows, anything unusual about your setup, including but not limited to:
- using network shares
- using an on-access virus scanner
4. The life cycle of a bug
As a bug is tracked, it will go through various states, some of which will demand your attention:
- UNCONFIRMED - no one has yet triaged the report
- CONFIRMED - a maintainer believes the report is valid, and the issue is under discussion
NEED_EXAMPLE - more information is required from the submitter (e.g.: abbr. of Latin exempli gratia)
- IN_PROGRESS - a fix is being developed
TESTING - the submitter should test the fix
- RESOLVED - closed, issue has been fixed or rejected
Issues in the NEED_EXAMPLE and TESTING states will be marked RESOLVED if there is no further activity. If a bug stays "stuck" in some unresolved state for a long time, it may eventually be resolved as WONTFIX.
Resolutions - how a bug is closed out:
- FIXED - the bug has been fixed or the feature has been implemented
- INVALID - the issue was rejected
- WONTFIX - the issue might have been valid but will not be addressed, or has stayed unresolved for too long
- DUPLICATE - a pre-existing issue covers the same topic
- WORKSFORME - the issue could not be reproduced
5. Etiquette
- be responsive - developers are very busy
- try to answer the specific questions asked by developers
- paste tracebacks into message fields rather than uploading attachments
- test fixes!
don't attach patches to the BTS, see ContributingChanges instead
6. See also
ManagingBugs for the developer side of the process
IRC for real-time diagnosis and support

I think this might make more sense if I start from the beginning, so:
A week ago I felt like I had a lump stuck in the back of my throat. No pain, just annoying. The next day it felt like it had moved down my throat, still no pain.
The third day it felt like it had moved down again to the bottom of my throat, but I was also in a lot of pain. My glands swelled up massively too and it was excruciating to swallow, even normal saliva. Where the lump felt like it was also incredibly painful when I swallowed. In addition I had stomach acid rising, so every time I swallowed something it had to pass glands (painful), then the lump (painful) then the acid (painful). I was miserable.
After a couple of days the throat has started slowly getting better, but now my tongue is wrecked too! Near the tip the surface has cracks in it, and going back there are circular lesions, varying approx 3-6mm across. They're very sore and look like the top layer of my tongue has come off. They are sunken and uniform red in colour, not ulcers!
Has anybody got any suggestions as to what this is? It's the weirdest sore throat I've ever had, and I've never seen a tongue like this. Is it contagious and how do I make it stop hurting?!

Every changing season brings along a new and welcoming list of trends that has some celebrity pull off a signature look with the most iconic presentation that simply outshines all the rest.
The latest showdown of hollywood celebrities hairstyles 2020 have numerous trends fresh on the charts whereby the trend of hair colors seem to be the determining factor of what the celebrity styles are about this fashion spell.
Rihanna's Rusted Ombre
Every changing season is bound to include the name of Rihanna who is known for her explicit style statement when it comes to the very word 'new'.
This time round she seems to have gotten down to her style business and experimented with the latest trend of the chocolaty ombre look and stunned the masses with one of her most gorgeously enticing, care-free yet highly famous 2020 celebrities hairstyles.
Gone viral in media and amongst the masses within no time at all with her rust-chocolate textured ombre bombshell impression, it's a movement in high swing with the effortless looks of beautiful buttery dark intrinsic textures making the Hollywood stars look simply ravishing.
Be it the glamour girl Rihanna with her side reaped medium long wavy cut or Miley Cyrus with a her out-grown curly short hairstyle, the classic fusion of the numerous shades of the ombre have unleashed a trend that is here to stay and serve some real fashion moments.
Highlighted Blondes
They are the celebrities super simple formula of giving the simplest of the cuts an energetic outlook this new season. Promoting the trend of the 'natural outlook' more forcefully. It's a thrill to see at almost every current celebrity event how the tones of yellowish- blonde play up a very lively and breezy impression of rough updo's, shaggy heaves and sedu styles .
It's a great way with really no effort at all to give uniquely impressive structured looks of high pitched tones of yellow strokes randomly more striking on different areas.
Applying this vicious application of tinted fondles of blonde, stars like Heidi Klum have managed to kindle out the trend of a flavorful lofty sleek highlighted blonde ponytail with a slight winched front crown that won her a good deal of media limelight and a great amount of fan following.
It seriously is a great option for girls with a fair complexion to enhance not only their facial radiance but also serves as the idyllic channel that has everything complimenting and compatible to give your looks a beauty worth the deal.
However; it's not just Heidi on the highlighted mission but there have been other similar hot looks put on display by Ashley Tisdale and Niki Hilton.
Weary Shallow Waves Hairstyles
Face framing shallow Waves seem to the most recent style commotions in vogue for the stars lately as they are pretty much a part and parcel of every one of the popular celebrities hairstyles 2020 you be hearing getting bragged about.
Sarah Jessica Parker is one great iconic personality to cite when you really want to know what the craze of the shallow waves is about.
Giving her prolonged length of russet caramel waves a simple center part, she simply allowed them to fall along her face structure not only flaunt a slender facial look but also present a playful design of soft natural heaves with an undying charm.
Another age defying look of the weary waves is that time and again carried by Julianne Hough in her midi length hair.
The natural careless hair parting with heavy tips of layered waves held in position with a salt spray worked wonders for this star and who knows it can be you next great pull of the season if you've decided to go for a midi style.
The fresh and light tones of her flaxen hair have been some of the most popularized looks from the celebrities hairstyles 2020 which are deemed suitable for women of all ages.
Rich Brown Celebrity Hairstyles
The hundreds shade of brown are what you will be seeing your stars relish this New Year with high flying color ideas that will make styling all the more fun and worth it.
A luscious way the celebrities have treated themselves with affluent looks of dark and viciously chirpy celebrities hairstyles 2020 is the trend of the brownies.
Yes, top hollywood personalities like Victoria Beckham have shun aside the angular look of her short inverted celebrity bob cut and gone for a more feminine length in a rich brown shade which have given a delightful mass of long tumbling coiled strands a grand look fit to be a hit for events and occasions.
Messy Hair Do's 2020
It's always fun to do things the messy way and celebrities hairstyles in 2020 have plenty of exceptional formal looks that allow you to get away with this off handed approach very stylishly.
Relishing the true look of feminine beauty with an element of romance is the vintage inspired look of wrap up styles that have always been the celebrity's zone of class in every era as flaunted effortlessly by Katie Holmes, Megan Gales, Angelina Jolie and many more high profile celebrities.
This year celebrating an impishly causal look, the cascading high buns and updo's tend to feature a spurting out of multitude of strands that not only add to the creative outlook but also offer guidance on how to manage your long and medium hair in the trendiest of manner.
Carrying double shades of hair color play up the look in a flirty manner with an enriched consistency that gives a perceptible depth to the style and makes it carry a better weight if you want to consider going elegant at ceremonial events like weddings and parties.
So if you're up for a bit of fun with the stars, don't just watch them glamorously mess up their looks; join in the fun!
Encrusted Layered Hair Styles
Carrying the layered looks in the a hundred versions smart and decent like the full fringed, scrunched staging, straight out etc , have been some of the most famous options of hairstyling by Hollywood's most popular stars like Jennifer Anniston, Bella Throne, Kristen Stewart, Hilary Duff and many more.
They have effortlessly loved and cherished their most precious asset of styling and sprinkled them with rich hues and added their celebrity attitude along with it to inspire hundreds of women with their fresh and fashionable style editions.
With the above mentioned celebrities hairstyles 2020 and many more in queue for you to tune up to, it's thrilling to see what the trend setting personalities have in store for your formal grooming this year.

The Center for Early Childhood Education at NVCC, which was then Mattatuck Community College, opened its doors in January 1977 to provide a training laboratory for early childhood education majors at the college as well as a quality educational environment for young children ages 3 - 6.
The initial set-up of the center included one large preschool and a toddler classroom. Today there are three classrooms, including two preschools, one with an integrated Kindergarten component, a toddler class.
The enrollment of the center includes children of staff, faculty, students and the local community.
In 1998, the Center for Early Childhood Education at NVCC received a school readiness grant from the state of Connecticut, expanding it's role in the community through collaboration with the Waterbury School System. There are currently 20 full-time slots and two part-time slots designated under the umbrella of Waterbury School Readiness.
The Center has evolved through the years to become a nationally accredited, high-quality model school that serves as the training ground for approximately 40 early childhood education students per year as well as students in other related disciplines, such as psychology, English and nursing.
The Center is the only training facility in the state to incorporate the Reggio Emilia approach into its teacher preparation program as well as fully utilize the approach in the classrooms with young children.
High-interest, in-depth studies that encompass a variety of learning and embedded curriculum and assessment are considered the Project Approach.
Reggio Emilia Italia
No Way. The hundred is there.*
The child
is made of one hundred.
The child has a hundred languages
a hundred hands
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
of playing, of speaking.
A hundred always a hundred
ways of listening
of marveling of loving
a hundred joys
for singing and understanding
a hundred worlds
to discover
a hundred wolds
to invent
to dream.
The child has
a hundred languages
(and a hundred, hundred, hundred more)
but they steal ninety-nine.
The school and the culture
separate the head from the body.
They tell the child:
to think without hands
to do without head
to listen and not to speak
to understand without joy
to love and to marvel
only at Easter and Christmas.
to discover the world already there
and of the hundred
they steal ninety-nine.
that work and play
reality and fantasy
science and imagination
sky and earth
reason and dream
are things
that do not belong together.
And thus they tell the child
that the hundred is not there.
The child says:
No way. The hundred is there.

Koh Samui is Thailand's third largest island and the largest in the south-east of the Gulf of Thailand. Koh in the Thai language means island and there are around eighty islands surrounding Samui: Koh Pha Ngan, Koh Tao and Koh Tan are the closest and also inhabited. Samui is more than 280 sq. km. in area and has a population of approximately 34,000.
The most popular beaches are Chaweng beach, Lamai beach, Bophut beach and Maenam beach. The Samui interior is a tropical jungle with hills up to 600 metres high.
Table of Content
Getting There
By Train
You can economize by making the trip from Bangkok (or elsewhere) to Samui by taking the train, and if you have the time, it can be good fun. Most people opt for a second-class berth in a fan-cooled or air-conditioned compartment, while a private first-class cabin for two can be very romantic! Either way, the cabin service is usually quite good
While the trip is long and the noise of the train may wake you up often, new friendships are sometimes made during the journey. Don't forget to take a bottle of water and tissue paper on board with you. The conductor will waken you prior to your early morning arrival in Suratthani, but you might want to take a small alarm clock with you in case.
NOTE: If no sleeping berths or (reclining) seats in second class carriages are available, think very carefully before buying a third class train ticket. The seats are straight backed and fairly rigid, and the carriages can get very full and warm. It might be the longest journey of your life.
When you disembark at Suratthani, employees of the bus company will be waiting to stow your bags in the correct bus that will take you to the ferry pier for the boat ride to Samui.
When you board the ferry, if you're still sleepy, you can buy a seat in the "VIP" aircon lounge for 40 baht. The seats recline and are very comfortable.
These Rail-Bus-Ferry tickets can be purchased at the train station in Bangkok. For the return trip from Samui, you can buy them on the island at Songserm and other travel agents.
By Bus
While it has certain drawbacks, the bus is easily the most economical way to travel, and an adventure in itself. You can buy tickets and board at the major Bangkok public bus stations, or if you are stopping at Khao San Road, you can catch an overnight bus departing in the evening, to all southern destinations including Samui. You will stop very early in the morning at Suratthani, which is the mainland access city to Samui, where you will transfer to another bus for the trip to the ferry that crosses to the island.
Be aware that not all buses are the same. Spending a few baht more can make a significant difference in comfort. The most comfortable are probably the overnight "Super VIPs." These air-conditioned double decker vehicles have toilets, seats that lean back quite far with leg rests at the bottom, and they also supply blankets for the journey. All buses stop at least once for refreshment, but little or no food or drink is served on board. An evening video is almost always shown on an overhead TV, and played at volumes that may make sleep difficult. However once the film ends around 10:00 pm, if you're lucky, you may sleep through much of the night.
Khao San Road:
Known to readers of every budget traveler's guide, this little corner of the city is the first stop for many first-time travelers to Thailand who wish to spend a little time in Bangkok before continuing their journey. Catering especially to "backpackers", most find Khao San Road a very hospitable place, and the easiest way to ease into the country with a minimum of culture shock. All the merchants and travel agents speak English, there are second-hand bookshops, coffee shops and inexpensive guesthouses, and many spend a few very comfortable days there chatting with travelers from all over the world before moving on to their next destination.
Tour buses run directly from Bangkok to Samui, and Samui to Bangkok via the vehicle ferry from Donsak in Suratthani Province.
By Boat
If you are planning to drive to Donsak Ferry pier and put your vehicle on board, plan to arrive at least 45 minutes prior to the departure of the boat you wish to take, so that you are not too far back in the queue.
By Air
The direct flight from Don Muang airport in Bangkok to Samui is by far the most convenient way to come. Samui Airport is privately owned and operated by Bangkok Airways and the price of the ticket is high by comparison to other comparable destinations throughout the country, however the airport is a sight for sore eyes (and sore bodies.) This delightful little facility has won International awards for its environmentally friendly design and bucolic charm.
Note: Bear in mind you will be required to pay a 450 baht per person surcharge upon your departure from Samui airport, payable in baht.
An economical option to consider is a flight from Bangkok to Suratthani with Thai Airways. The cost of the ticket is substantially less than the Bangkok Airways direct flight to Samui. However from Suratthani you will still have to take a bus from the airport to the ferry for the 1 hour 20 minute boat ride across. Because of the ferry and flight schedules, this itinerary seems more practical going than coming.
December to February (main season) it can get up to 30C(86F). Sometimes brief tropical rain, mostly in December.
March to June, it becomes very hot, up to 40C (114F), rarely raining.
July to September (main season) is hot, but some days it also rains.
June, October, November are rainy seasons, but it does not generally rain every day. In contrast to other regions of Thailand, Samui does not really have a well defined rainy season but sometimes there are sunless periods of 2 or 3 days, especially during November (monsoon).
The Big Buddha
Samui's most popular attraction, The Big Buddha sitting 15 meters tall was built in 1972 by the local society to give visitors a place to pay respect to The Lord Buddha. The graceful image was built a very scrupulous to the visitors. The monumental landmark is placed on the island's Northern shore.
Hin Ta – Hin Yai
Strangely shaped rocks at south Lamai, Hin Ta-Hin Yai, small rock formations on the bay's southern promontory, which never fail to raise a giggle with their resemblance to the male and female sexual organs. A local story tells of an old couple whose ship was wrecked in the bay. Their body's were washed ashore to create the rocks
Namuang Waterfall
This has beautiful surroundings that has attracted three royal heads before.Na Muang Waterfall is located about12 km south from Nathon Town. There are 2 waterfalls Na Muang one is 18 meter high and can be reached by vehicle.
Na Muang two is about 80 meters high and can only be reached by a 30 minute walk. The waterfalls are the most scenic on the island
Hin Lad Water fall
Hin Lad Waterfall is located 2 km south of Nathon. He can be reached by a 3-4 kilometer walk down a country foot walk. In evergreen, rain forest setting with palms and creepers, the waterfall have several levels with a cool pool for a fresh water swim.
Secret Buddha Garden
The secret Buddha garden is hidden in the hills of Samui. You can see several statues, temples, and waterfalls which are build by one man in the last 20 years.
Ancient House
A house made of teakwood without any nails at Ban Thale is the oldest house on the island. It was built approximately 150 years ago, is constructed of teak planks and shows off many beautiful woodcarvings.
Butterfly Garden
It's one of the most frequently visited attractive place on Samui, Butterfly Garden is home to dozens of species of southern Thailand situated at the bottom of the hill south of the island. Apart from the numerous species of butterflies on display, there are also other About features in the garden: The bee house, a Thai style house which allows the visitor to observe the activities of bees. The insect museum, rare insects from Thailand and other countries are displayed here. Another great place for family and friends to visit.
Snake Farm
A definite must see for all those visiting the island. Shows featuring snakes indigenous to Samui as well as Centipede, Scorpion and Cock Fighting shows, Informative and entertaining. Great for the entire family and worth looking for. Follow the signs seen throughout the island. Show times are 11.00 and 14.00 everyday.
Naga Pearl Farm
Visit the Naga Pearl Farm and discover how pearls are cultured. At about 30 minute boat ride from Ban Thong Krut landing will bring you to Koh Matsum and the Naga Pearl Farm. After you learn about pearl culture, you will enjoy eating Thai food and spend the afternoon on the white sandy beach. Don't miss the Naga Pearl Shop, located at 81/1 Ban Thong Krut, where all varieties of pearl and pearl products are offered. Pearl shells and special handicrafts are very nice souvenirs to bring back home.
Many of the holidays celebrated during the course of the year are Buddhist, but some other very important ones such as the Monarch's birthday, are not religious in origin. Except for the closing of government offices and institutions, and occasional one-day prohibitions on the sale of alcohol, these holidays will not affect leisure activities very much.
Buffalo Fight
Buffalo Fight Festivals Unlike bullfights in Spain, bulls are fighting bulls in Koh Samui buffalo fights. On Samui Island, buffalo fights are held only on special occasions such as New Year's Day and during Songkran, April 13 to 16. The animals are decorated with jazzy ribbons and gold painted leaves on their horns. Holy water is used to bless the bulls before the fights. On fight days, two rounds are organized, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Songkran (Thai New year)
On April 13-15 every year the streets of every town and village on the island are lined with giggling teenagers armed with an arsenal of water guns, buckets. barrels , dippers, hoses and all manner of delivery vehicle with which to launch their often icy-cold liquid missiles. This exciting festival has long time tradition of Thai ancestors due to the weather in April is the most hot in year round. Splashing water is the best way to decrease hot and made their grand child to be happy and cooperation.Moreover, this beautiful tradition could shows a very good unit of Thai society, almost of the members of family will back home to visit their relatives. At the mean time, is the time to live with their family and their real relaxing after their working almost whole year. In additions, during this time bring to The Family Day and it's the Thai New Year in Thailand.
Loy Krathong (Light festival): have floats, will dazzle
Thailand's waterways rivers, klongs, even hotel swimming pools will be ablaze with dazing lights on the evening of Nov. 14, when the Kingdom celebrates "Loy Krathong" one of the year's most-awaited festivals.
"Loy" means to float, and "krathong" means a leaf cup. Kratong is decorate by many kinds of flowers, candles with light, incences to float in the canal, river,or sea after pray to get forgive from the God of river that sometime made dirty and thanks for give water to use.
This moniker seems apt as most floating objects you see during Loy Krathong nights are flowers formed like cups, if not artificial petals that look like cups in many angles.
It is a most colorful festival. In most areas where it is celebrated, you will see Thai women resplendent in colorful attire, hair festooned with flowers, and gaily-dressed men, also fully garbed, gather with floats in their hands wherever there's water.

The American Liver Foundation
The American Liver Foundation recently hosted its annual Salute to Excellence gala, honoring those who have made an outstanding contribution to biotechnology and medical innovation. The Salute, a black tie awards event, has been held annually for more than twelve years, with dramatic growth every year.
The Liver Foundation's mission is to facilitate, advocate and promote education, support and research for the prevention, treatment and cure of liver disease.
This year's honorees were:

"I am proud of the vital work of the Liver Foundation and honored to present this award to such highly deserving recipients. The leadership of these individuals has exponentially increased our visibility and allowed us to further build our research program — designed to award seed grants in support of building careers in liver research, " said Graham Allan, Division Board Chair, American Liver Foundation. Estimated to affect more people than those living with diabetes (type 1 and type 2) and all cancers combined, liver disease affects an estimated 30 million Americans. Due to perceptions about the common causes of liver disease, the public often turn away for fear of association; neglecting to obtain the preventative information they need to make better informed decisions about their health.

Juan Williams, who has written several books on the US civil rights movement, has been fired from his job as news analyst by National Public Radio for saying on Fox News that he gets nervous if he sees Muslims on a plane.
Williams made the candid remarks last week on chat show The O'Reilly Factor. NPR confirmed that Williams's contract had been ended on Wednesday. Later Fox News signed Williams up as a contributor on a multi-year contract, reportedly worth $2m.
Williams was speaking about Muslims and 9/11 on the show, with outspoken conservative host Bill O'Reilly, who said:
"The cold truth is that in the world today, Jihad, aided and abetted by some Muslim nations, is the biggest threat on the planet."
Williams said he concurred with O'Reilly:
"I mean, look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country, but when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."
And he was fired for this?????
In this day and age, if a man cannot say what makes him nervous, what can he do? If Mr O'Reilly had asked Mr Williams the question:
"Juan, when you get on a plane, and you see people who are in Muslim garb, do you get nervous?"
are we saying that Mr Williams should have lied? Do we think that Mr Williams should have told Mr O'Reilly that he would be completely at ease to sit on a plane with people who are, in many cases, attempting to look menacing, and who don the Muslim garb specifically to intimidate those who they know will be nervous when seeing Muslims 'in garb'?
"Despite the fact that Mr Williams probably perpetrated the whole incident to draw attention to himself in order to secure a more lucrative offer elsewhere, this whole unsavoury mess shows just how far things have turned around in the US," said social commentator and time-wasting looney Moys Kenwood, writing from his hidey-hole in Bangkok. He added:
"It's a fucking disgrace! Mr Williams was just speaking his mind. Surely, he can do that, can't he?"
Well, can't he?

One thing I really enjoy about recipes is that they evolve and in some cases mutate. This recipe is a mutation of previous recipes- -a black pudding recipe which included leeks and potatoes and a lamb's fry recipe which included apples and sherry. You could change this again by using a firm spicy sausage like chorizo instead of black pudding.
220g-250g (1-2) leeks (white part only) (cut into 4 x 6cm lengths)
25g (4 tbsp) flour
1 tsp dry mustard powder
1/2 tsp flaky sea salt pinch freshly ground black pepper
220g-240g black pudding (cut into 12 x 1cm thick slices)
60ml (4 tbsp) olive oil
450g (2-3) large apples (peeled, cored and cut into 12 x 75mm rings) (use an apple which keeps its shape such as Braeburn)
400ml (1 + 1/2 cups + 1 tbsp + 2 tsp) apple cider
48g (4 tbsp) light flavoured floral honey such as Tawari
1/2 tsp hot English mustard
flaky sea salt freshly ground black pepper
chervil for garnish
400ml (1 + 1/2 cups + 1 tbsp + 2 tsp) apple cider
48g (4 tbsp) light flavoured floral honey such as Tawari
1/2 tsp hot English mustard
flaky sea salt freshly ground black pepper
chervil for garnish
- Into a medium pot set over a high heat, three-quarters full of boiling water, add leeks and cook for 5 minutes or till semi-cooked. Drain and set leeks aside.
- In a small bowl combine flour, dry mustard, salt and pepper.
- Dip each slice of black pudding into seasoned flour and shake to remove any excess flour.
- Pour 3 tablespoons oil into a large, heavy-based fry pan and heat over a medium heat. Add leeks and apple slices and cook till golden brown on all sides. Remove from pan and set aside. Increase heat; add remaining oil and sear black pudding on each side for 1 minute or till colour is dark brown. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add apple cider, honey and mustard to pan. Stir to combine and return apple and leeks to pan. Cover with lid and simmer 3-4 minutes till leeks are tender but aiming for apples to retain their shape. Add black pudding and heat a further 2 minutes or till black pudding is hot. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately. If you wish accompany with mashed potatoes or fried left over potatoes.
