Monarch Precious Metals Evaluation
With the economic turmoil which often confronts conventional paper currency, lots of people are analyzing different means of financial investment in an attempt to better hedge their potential risks. Gold, silver and other precious metals continue to be among the most secure methods to invest money, due to the fact that their value tends to regularly rise over the years. Precious metals such as silver and gold are not susceptible to the downfalls that other commodities might endure, for example shares and stocks. As such, market players are advised to branch out their portfolios with as many precious metal assets as they can acquire, in order to better turn a profit as their value rises in the future. Individuals that are not used to the domain of precious metal dealing, however, may find it challenging to come across a business with which they can work.
One firm that investors might opt to acquire gold from is Monarch Precious Metals. All of the company's bars and rounds are traditionally hand poured and etched by quaint means, which bestow their bullion with an almost rustic feel which tends to entice some prospective customers.
The typical Monarch Precious Metals review focuses primarily on the fact that the website offers an encompassing range of silver bullion for investors to look into, including bars, rounds, and shot. The firm does not present as many distinct gold merchandise as it does silver. A few prospective customers could see this lack of variety as an uncomplicated experience to enable them to initiate the precious metals investment process. While theselection might not be the most diversified, there are lots of precious metal products that thetrader can choose from. Alongside every product is concise and informative outline that defines it, alongside an available quality chart as well as featured clientreviews. All the bullion available to buy from the site are classified at.999 fine. The fineness scale is considered the most consistent method to gauge the purity of theprecious metal. The.999 rating indicates the commodities are very close to being completely pure.
To start out with, lots of investors discovered that the website's interface was remarkably simple and a breeze use. People were pleased that there were no significantly massive or obstructive advertisements and that all the information which was featured was done so in a way that did not instantly overwhelm them. An easy-to-see spot rate chart is available oneach individual webpage of the website, which gives investors information on the value of the bullion which they are planning to invest in.
Neophyte traders could find the trading process simpler because the website features various articles detailing enticing bits of information so as to help the trader sort out the process. Those unique sections of their site provide readers with informative things such as the kinds of payment methods that are available and the minimum quantities that can be purchased, on top of shipping tips. For those who are altogether unfamiliar with the course of action, there is a useful step-by-step guide to help make it all easier to understand, settinginvestors up for exploring other potential websites as well.
Contrary to other precious metal companies, the Monarch Precious Metals site does not include a minimum purchase requirement. They are willing to accept most major debit and credit cards for bullion orders exceeding ten thousand dollars, though anything exceeding this limit will call for a bank transfer. Bank transfers are available to those who would rather pay by this method, even though they are not required unless the client is considering purchasing a good deal of precious metals.
All of the shipping and handling information is given handily on their site, making it possible for clients to plan ahead during the purchasing experience. The shipping costs are not centered on the weight or the size of the package, but on the total amount of precious metal items that have been acquired. Although a few sites may ship internationally, this one does not, and all of the packages are100 % protected by insurance for further customer security.
The Monarch Precious Metals website offers a customer support panel that only works through email. Some clients might find thisexasperating, particularly if something goes with their purchase. A contact number is available on the website, but the usage instructions are only set for the caller to leave a message with their full name and telephone number. This could deter customers from contacting the company, but more information can be obtained on an FAQ portion on theirsite. This section is dedicated to answering some of the most commonly asked questions that their customer service representatives receive. Quite a few topicsare included on this page, and investors can easily find out more about acquiring metals, paying for orders, and the distinctions between different types of metals that are available for purchase.
Generally speaking, a number of clients found the site satisfactory for their purpose. The site may seem more centered on helping beginning traders, which might discourage the interest of more knowledgeable ones. Moreover, the stock concentrates strongly on just a few different kinds of gold, silver, and platinum. Traders who are considering palladium investing should seek another enterprise. Potential dealers will probably like the additionof thorough information to help them understand the trading experience, with instructions which help them each and every step of the way. Most of thebasic information is easy to find through key points on the website.

I read with interest Jim Parlour ("Charters which change little", Opinion, THES December 30). While I would agree that the Department for Education and the National Union of Students charters emphasise pleasing students with no corresponding counterbalance of their responsibilities and obligations he should be careful not to decry the efforts of others.
Liverpool John Moores University was the first HE institution to produce an institutional charter 18 months ago and the benefits to both students and institution are slowly emerging. In our charter we provide clear statements of what students can expect of the university and what in return is expected of students. Our student charter aims to provide accurate, timely and easily accessible information to enhance and facilitate choice for all our students so that they know exactly what is being delivered and what they must do in return.
JMU's charter has brought to the attention of everyone in the institution our stated aim of putting our students' needs first and is providing a vehicle for monitoring and evaluating the constantly changing needs of our student population.
Mr Parlour claims that students have special rights as students (as opposed to ordinary citizens) then says that they do not have rights if they fail the test of legal enforceability. If there is a legally enforceable right then that right is adequately protected. It is the function of the student charter to address those aspects of student life not covered by legally enforceable rights without affording them true legal status. The charter is not intended to be a legally enforceable contract that gives the student (purely by being a student) rights that can be enforced outside the institution. Rather the charter is a means of formulating a proper code of conduct.
Student charters should be seen as an integral part of all forward-thinking educational establishments. They should not be trivialised by those who have nothing better to offer.

Andrew Forrest hits back at Australian Rugby Union claims about Western Force axeing
Force billionaire backer Andrew Forrest says he has evidence dismissing Australian Rugby Union claims that it wanted to axe the Western Force because of financial concerns, playing performance and support.
It is understood the mining magnate has correspondence that shows the decision was made because it was thought the Force would be the easiest club to remove legally ahead of the Rebels and the Brumbies.
Since the ARU announced it wanted to cut the Force the costly legal battle has gone to arbitration - which the club lost - but the decision was appealed in the NSW Supreme Court.
A decision is expected later this week or early next week.
Forrest will hold a media conference tomorrow in response to ARU claims that he stepped in too late to save the Force when he made a $50 million offer to the governing body if the future of the club could be guaranteed.
He also guaranteed to underwrite the financial viability of the Force.

Into The Wild
Information about Into The WildInto the Wild is a 2007 (13 years ago) American drama movie based on the 1996 (24 years ago) non-fiction book of the same name by Jon Krakauer about the adventures of Christopher McCandless. It was directed by Sean Penn, who also wrote the screenplay, and stars Emile Hirsch, Jena Malone, Marcia Gay Harden, Vince Vaughn, Kristen Stewart (43 walls), William Hurt, Catherine Keener, Brian Dierker, Zach Galifianakis and Hal Holbrook. It premiered during the second edition of the Rome movie Feast. The movie premiered outside of Fairbanks, Alaska on sep. 3, 2007 (13 years ago), and the movie was issued in limited release on sep. 21, before a wide release on Oct. 19.
PlotInto the Wild recounts the life of Christopher McCandless, a real-life student-athlete at Emory University, as told by his sympathetic sister (Jena Malone as Carine McCandless). In rejection of a materialist, conventional life, and of his parents (William Hurt as Walt McCandless and Marcia Gay Harden as Billie McCandless), whom McCandless perceives as having betrayed him, McCandless destroys all of his credit cards and identification documents, donates $24,000 (nearly his entire savings) to Oxfam, and sets out on a cross-country drive in his well-used but reliable Datsun towards his ultimate goal: Alaska and, alone, to test himself and experience the wilds of nature. He does not tell his family what he is doing or where he is going and does not communicate with them thereafter, leaving them to become increasingly anxious and eventually desperate.
Along the way his automobile is caught in a flash flood and he abandons it to hitchhike after burning what remains of his dwindling cash supply. For a while he works on farms with a crew led by Wayne Westerberg (Vince Vaughn) but leaves after the farmer is arrested. He ends up at the Colorado River and when he is told that he may not go down by canoe without a license, he acquires a Perception Sundance 12 open-water kayak and, followed by the river police, paddles downriver eventually all the way into Mexico. There his kayak is lost in the river and he crosses back into America, thereafter traveling via freight train to Los Angeles.
Along his travels, he encounters and makes friends with many unconventional but good people, such as a hippy couple (Catherine Keener as Jan Burres), a farm owner (Vince Vaughn), a Danish couple, a girl at a hippy commune (Kristen Stewart (43 walls) as Tracy Tatro), and a retired but lonely leather worker (Hal Holbrook) who offers to adopt and be a grandfather to McCandless. With each meeting, McCandless has an opportunity to settle down but each time he chooses to move on in his quest for a meaning to life, believing that only in the wilds of Alaska, will true knowledge be found. He is repeatedly encouraged to contact his family but refuses to do so.
Nearly two years after leaving his family, McCandless crosses a stream in a remote area of Alaska and sets up camp in abandoned school bus, the "Magic Bus", used as a shelter for moose hunters. Initially McCandless is exhilarated by the isolation, the beauty of nature around and the thrill of living off the land as the spring thaw arrives. He hunts and gathers, and reads books, and keeps a diary of his thoughts. However life becomes harder; his supplies start to run out and although he kills a moose the meat is spoiled by flies and maggots. He realises that nature is also harsh and uncaring. Ultimately on his journey of self-discovery he concludes that true happiness is to be found in sharing, and in the joy of realisation seeks to return from the wild to his friends and family.
However, to his despair McCandless finds that the stream that he crossed has become a violent torrent and he cannot return; he is trapped by nature. He is forced to return to the Magic Bus but now as a prisoner; having previously insisted on being self-sufficient he is no longer in control of his fate and can only hope for help from the outside. As his supplies run out, he is forced to gather and eat roots and plants. He has a book to help him to distinguish edible from inedible, but he confuses similar plants and is poisoned. He slowly and painfully starves to death. In his final hours, he continues to document his process of self-realisation and his demise. Some two weeks after his death his body is found by moose hunters.
ProductionThe scenes of graduation from Emory University in the movie were shot in the fall of 2006 (14 years ago) on the front lawn of Reed College. Some of the graduation scenes were also filmed during the actual Emory University graduation on May 15, 2006 (14 years ago). The Alaska scenes depicting the area around the abandoned bus on the Stampede Trail were filmed 50 miles south of where McCandless actually died, in the tiny town of Cantwell. Filming at the actual bus would have been too remote for the technical demands of a movie shoot. The production made four separate trips to Alaska to movie during different seasons.
ReceptionInto the Wild received strong positive reviews from critics. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 83% of 155 reviews of the movie were positive, resulting in a "Fresh" rating. Metacritic reported the movie had an average score of 73 out of 100, based on 38 reviews.
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the movie four stars out of four and described the movie as "spellbinding". Ebert wrote that Emile Hirsch gives a "hypnotic performance", saying: "It is great acting, and more than acting". Ebert said, "The movie is so good partly because it means so much, I think, to its writer-director", Sean Penn.
The American movie Institute listed the movie as one of ten AFI Movies of the Year for 2007 (13 years ago).
National Board of Review named it one of the Top Ten movies of the Year.
Into the Wild also ranks 473rd in Empire magazine's 2008 (12 years ago) list of the 500 greatest movies of all time.

Hatred's Foe
By Marcia Froelke Coburn
In 1987, Modesto "Tico" Valle saw the AIDS Memorial Quilt in Washington, D.C., and it changed his life. With degrees from Notre Dame's seminary school and DePaul University, Valle—who grew up in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood—had been working as a Chicago school administrator. "But the quilt showed me all these human lives, and the hatred and bigotry they had faced," says Valle. "I felt this need to provide a voice for people who have been silenced."
Two decades after he first saw the Memorial Quilt, Valle has emerged as one of the city's most powerful voices crying out against hatred and bigotry. It helps that he has such a magnificent platform from which to speak: the new Center on Halsted, where Valle, 43, serves as executive director. Opened in June 2007, the $20-million, 185,000-square-foot community center is dedicated to serving the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities. Five years in the making, the center houses a multipurpose theatre, an art gallery, a computer lab, a full-size gym, and a counseling center. It is also home to the Illinois STD/ HIV/AIDS Hotline, as well as a dozen small community groups that pay a small rent for offices and use of the versatile conference rooms. The place provides cultural, educational, and social programming for youth, adults, and seniors, all drawn by the center's vision of "celebrating, affirming, and discussing possibilities."
Valle's journey toward the Center on Halsted began in 1989, when he founded the Chicago NAMES Project, which brought the AIDS quilt to Navy Pier for its first display in the Midwest. At the same time, he volunteered at a number of local nonprofits that provided social services for people with HIV/AIDS and their families: Chicago House, Test Positive Aware Network, and Open Hand Chicago. "I became dedicated to finding ways to open eyes and soften hearts," he says.
The Center on Halsted—an outgrowth of the decades-old Horizon Community Services, where Valle worked for two years—may provide him his greatest opportunity yet to accomplish that goal. Situated three blocks from Wrigley Field (at 3656 North Halsted Street) and with a new Whole Foods grocery store serving as anchor tenant, the center is designed to bring together a diverse group of people, regardless of sexual orientation. "Any day here I see moms and dads and baby strollers inside; seniors and teenagers and gay couples and lesbian couples," says Valle. "This is how you break down barriers. This is how you end hatred."

TRANSCRIPT: [Putin at] Moscow State University Board of Trustees meeting
(Kremlin.ru – January 25, 2017)
Vladimir Putin chaired a meeting of the Moscow State University (MGU) Board of Trustees.
On the agenda were the interim results of the programme for developing MGU through to 2020 and progress in developing the Vorobyovy Gory science and technology cluster.
Other items on the agenda included developing fundamental science and the higher education system within the National Science and Technology Development Strategy, and measures to improve training of specialists and facilitate their employment in Russian companies.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, colleagues,
We are holding this latest meeting of the Moscow State University Board of Trustees on the day of the university's founding, which, as you know, has become by tradition a date celebrated by Russia's students as their holiday. Let me therefore congratulate all of Moscow State University students and faculty and actually, all students and faculty around the country. I congratulate you on this occasion and wish you all the very best.
I would like to thank the Board members for their active participation in the university's life. I suggest that today we discuss some of the decisions that will enable the university to continue playing a determining part in shaping Russia's intellectual and technological potential.
The university has always been proud of its graduates, and justifiably so. They make unique scientific discoveries, achieve success in business and civil service, carry out important social, cultural and educational projects and bring glory to the country and to their alma mater.
If we judge the university by the results and achievements of its graduates, Moscow State University counts deservedly among the world leaders. This raises MGU's prestige and influence both at home and abroad.
Our universities, including MGU, have made significant advances in different ratings in a number of areas. At the same time, we have said before that piecemeal success is not enough. We need to set more ambitious goals and join the ranks of the world leaders, above all in training top-class specialists and in contributing to the development of new breakthroughs and of science in general.
It is also our responsibility before the young generation to reach this ambitious and absolutely vital objective. We have many talented young people who seek a high-quality and competitive education and want to take part in promising research, projects and developments of the highest level, right from their student days.
Ever since the days of Mikhail Lomonosov, Moscow State University has always attracted the most talented and driven young people from all around Russia. Last year, 371 winners and runners-up of national Olympiads and 9 winners and runners-up of international Olympiads were accepted to MGU. Young people who have shown particular talent in technical and humanitarian fields study at the university and have received special grants of 20,000 rubles a month. We will continue to support talented children from throughout the country.
[Rector of MGU] Mr Sadovnichy said that the university school has started work and its students have already gone to the Sirius Centre in Sochi, where they attended lectures by scientists, business representatives and other prominent and interesting people who have achieved exceptional results in their fields of activity.
I draw to the Board members' attention that we must ensure the required conditions not only for study but also for subsequent employment of these gifted young people in the state agencies and in Russian companies. They should have an interest in working here for the benefit of our economy and our country's development.
I ask you too to reflect on further measures we can take to support student teams already working on promising new developments in the sectors of greatest priority for the country. This could include measures to integrate their projects with the activities of the world-class laboratories that have also been established at MGU through the so-called mega-grants programme.
Let me note in particular that many of these laboratories are headed by compatriots who had been working abroad. More of them are coming home now and working here, and this includes Moscow State University graduates.
We adopted the National Science and Technology Development Strategy at the end of last year. Its implementation will enable us to make our country more globally competitive and respond to the serious 'big challenges' that practically all countries face today.
In this respect, I think that we should review once again the development programmes for our leading universities, including Moscow State University. The idea here is to establish and develop so-called technological valleys. You know that Moscow State University is examining just such a project. I want to ask Mr Viktor Sadovnichy to tell us how this work is going and update us on Moscow State University's development plans in general.
Let's begin our work. Please, you have the floor.
Rector of Moscow State University Viktor Sadovnichy: Mr President, thank you for these congratulations and for these warm words about the university.
Yes, today is our birthday, Moscow State University's biggest holiday, the day marking its founding. Your executive order in 2005 gave this date official status as Russian Students' Day. We are deeply grateful to you for the constant attention you give to developing science and education in Russia, to MGU's life, and to the decision to hold a meeting of the Board of Trustees at the university today.
We will look today at Moscow State University's development. I would like to speak in brief about what we have accomplished since the last Board of Trustees meeting took place just over a year ago, and tell you about our plans for the future.
Since 2010, we have been working on implementing the development plan that you, Mr President, approved. Budget funding for the development programme from 2010 through to 2019 comes to around 11 billion rubles. MGU's contribution through various means to this programme comes to around 50 billion rubles. The programme continues with success and I will now brief the Board of Trustees on the results.
Our main task is to teach. As you know, Moscow State University works according to its own independently set educational standards. These are unique standards that exist only in our university. We have set a six-year study programme or so-called integrated Masters course, for a number of disciplines. In other words, the course involves four years at the undergraduate degree level and then a two-year Masters programme in the same field, mathematics, physics or biology say, thus making a six-year programme overall. Such was our choice.
We had 10,000 graduates in 2015, and more than 7,000 in 2016. As was said, they are good specialists in their fields. We have taken responsibility for the six-year study programme experiment and have added to student living allowances from our own funds to cover the sixth year of study, and we are sure that study programmes of this length are what are needed to develop a modern knowledge economy in a modern country.
To be continued.

This story is part of an occasional series on world religions.
For 48 days each spring, Sophia Fakhoury keeps all meats and cheeses off her plate and — with mixed success — out of her mind. She doesn't touch a bit of bacon or lamb, two of her favorite foods, and she says the only dairy product she consumes is milk, "because it gives me vitamin D that I need while I'm growing."
The fast, as this special diet is called, is done in preparation for Easter, Christianity's most important holiday. Children usually start the practice during middle school.
"It's my favorite time of the year," says 12-year-old Sophia, a seventh-grader at Irving Middle School in Springfield, Virginia. "It's more about giving back than taking for yourself. It brings our whole community together."
Sophia attends St. George Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church in Northwest Washington, where her father is an usher and her mother helps lead community-service projects for teenagers. St. George Antiochian (an-tee-OH-kee-an) is part of a group of churches with roots in the ancient city of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, Turkey.
These churches, known as Eastern Orthodox, trace their roots to the very beginning of Christianity and have traditions separate from the faith's Catholic and Protestant branches. St. George's services often feature burning incense, which fills the sanctuary with a spicy smell, and songs and chants performed in English and in Arabic.
"Ninety percent of our people here are really Christians of the Middle East," says Father Joseph Rahal, the church's priest. Sophia's father was born in Jordan; other churchgoers are from Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Ethiopia and the Palestinian territories.
In the Orthodox Church, Easter is commonly known as Pascha (PASS-kuh), the Greek word for Passover.
"It is a joyous time," Rahal says.
The holiday celebrates the resurrection, or rising from the dead, of Jesus, whom Christians consider to be the son of God.
"If it wasn't for that resurrection, we wouldn't be Christian," Rahal says. "Everything in our tradition is centered around this. You could call it the church of Easter."
Quiz: How much do you know about Easter and Passover?
Not all Christian churches celebrate Easter at the same time. Its date is determined in part by the phases of the moon, but Eastern Orthodox churches also set the date based on the Jewish holiday of Passover. This year, for the first time in three years, Eastern Orthodox churches and their Protestant and Catholic counterparts are celebrating Easter on the same date: April 16.
St. George's has been preparing for weeks. The Easter season kicks off with a 40-day period known as the Great Lent, when kids and adults avoid certain foods, focus on prayer and reflection, and give back to the community. Sophia is helping to make blankets that will be donated to the homeless, and she was among a group of kids who visited Charlie's Place, a Washington homeless center, to prepare and serve soup and other foods.
During Holy Week — the period just before Easter — Sophia and other kids, including Aaron Johnson, a 12-year-old from Fairfax County, Virginia, go to church services each evening. The services are "very beautiful and sad at the same time," Aaron says.
The Friday evening service ends with a reading known as the vigil, when some of the church's older kids stay up all night and read the Bible from front to back. Kids and teenagers take turns, sleeping when they become tired, and finish on Saturday afternoon. The reading occurs in front of a wooden structure — it represents Jesus' tomb — that Aaron and others help decorate with flowers.
Sophia says she'll probably stay up until 2 a.m. to prepare for the late-night Saturday service, which ends at midnight with an Easter feast that can last for two hours. She usually eats eggs and bacon during the celebration, but just a little bit, so her stomach doesn't get woozy after going without meat for so long.
There's one more big service Sunday morning, when Bible passages about the resurrection are read in six or more languages. Kids hunt for colored eggs, a symbol of new life, "and then we go and sleep," Aaron says. It's a happy day, but "we're all very tired."
Words to Know
Passover This Jewish holiday celebrates the Jews' being freed from slavery in ancient Egypt. It occurs around the same time of year as Easter.
Bible The sacred text of Christianity. Certain books in the Bible are also part of Jewish scripture, and some stories also appear in different forms in the Koran, the sacred text of Islam.
Palm Sunday A part of Holy Week that is celebrated one week before Easter. The service traditionally features the waving of palm branches, because according to the Bible, tree branches were laid before Jesus when he entered Jerusalem shortly before his death.
Holy Friday The Friday before Easter, also known as Good Friday. The death of Jesus, who was nailed to a cross, is commemorated in church services on this day.
Kaak (KAH-yak) A crown-shaped Middle Eastern cookie, made from semolina and dates, that symbolizes the crown of thorns placed on Jesus before his death. Sophia's family makes these each Easter.
Judaism's most important holiday is a time for family and self-reflection
Fasting is just one part of Ramadan, Islam's holy month

text: Philippe Orlando Posted January 31, 2018 I have a GH4 that I love. But the more I watch footage from the BMCC I think that nothing below $ 10 000 is capable of creating such a beautiful image. Am I the only one to believe this? Now the BMCC MFT mount can be found on ebay for around $ 800 and I'm extremely tempted. My original plan was to save and go with the GH5s, since I have all the lenses and a focal reducer, but the low light capability is not enough for me to make the jump as I simply can't fathom creating a story, whether it's a short or a longer piece without the appropriate lighting. I don't understand the craziness over low light capabilities of a cam, must be coming from people who are not interested in fiction where the environment is entirely controlled. So when you compare footage from that already "old" camera, the BMCC and the GH5s, do you see what I'm seeing, the BMCC is so much better, or am I the only one to see this?Thanks for your comments Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

- Oliver Machinery Oliver 4230 8" helical head jointer
- Brand: Oliver Machinery | Category: Jointers
I posted a couple of pics of my new Oliver 4230 jointer and have started to tune the machine up and learn all its little secrets for best performance. The jointer has a Shelix spiral cutter head. I looked at a lot of 8" jointers and liked the look and weight of the Oliver at the price point listed. I have not run a lot of stock through it but, so far, the machine is extremely quiet, powerful and cuts like a dream. The bed is 75" long and provides ample space for running long boards for straightening and squaring. The key to getting good cuts is, of course, getting the outfeed and infeed table set at the right height to insure good, clean, smooth cuts. After fiddling around with the outfeed table height and cutter height and infeed table removal amount, it is producing good, straight stock with no snipe at all. Taking a little off at a time is the key. I would strongly recommend the machine at the price point they are currently selling for.

Where is the Oliver made?

I'm curious too where they make their machine. It looks great, enjoy!

I believe they are made in Taiwan. There was some talk the machines were shipped over here in parts and assembled here. I don't know. The jointer arrived fully assembled in a large crate, except for some odds and ends. So maybe there is some truth to that. The 10" model and up have Baldor motors. Mine does not. The 10" weighs in at a 1000 lbs, so that was little to much for me to contemplate getting into basement workshop.The move was rather easy as we dissasembled the top portion from the base and moved (4 of us) the bed portion first. We then used the crate assembly the machine was sitting in as a lorry with 2×4"s slid under the base and the 4 of us carefully lifted and walked into basement. About a 10 minute operation. It was nice having the machine fully assembled and not having the job of figuring out arcane directions on how to put together. I am going to buy a 15" planer here shortly. I will go with the spiral cutter head without a doubt. The Grizzly has a nice machine (I purchased a 5HP 1023 RLWX late last year) and Grizz seems to have the best value. Probably will consider the Oliver too.

Nice review, and although I know nothing about the current Oliver line, I do know you'll love the Byrd Shelix cutter.

Nice to hear that you are finding success with your 8" jointer. I purchased the 4230 in 2012 and have had nothing but good things to say on its performance. Tough, accurate and smooth operation all around.

I am very happy with the Oliver Jointer. I just took delivery of the 4420 5 horse HC 16" planer. It's a beautiful machine. It's hard to figure out sometimes what equipment is really worth the money vs. other brands. I have a Grizz 1023 TS and am happy with that is well. I am a believer in buying the best you can afford. You only get what you pay for. I just like the heavy cast iron construction of the Oliver line. I will write a full review on planer once I get set up. I have not spent the time in my workshop I would have liked, so, my cutters are in good shape

Imagine a fundraiser that goes from 0 to 2,000 attendees and over $100,000 in net proceeds in just 3 years.
That's the Soup's On event for The Rotary Club of Naperville.
This is something I've heard bits and pieces about for the last few weeks. Yesterday I had a chance to speak with Bill Garlough, the founder of Soup's On, and get some behind-the-scenes information. In fact, I got so wrapped up in what Bill showed me that I completely forgot to write anything yesterday. So let's make up for that today.
What caught my attention is how they're using social media. They're covering a lot of channels and techniques.
Start with the website for Soup's On (www.soupsonrotary.com).
It's s short home page (very good) with a prominent link for purchasing tickets, a rotating photo album and a video, and a scrolling list of Gold Sponsors. And the sponsor logos are clickable links. It's a good home page.
Scroll your mouse over the menu items at the top to see how it highlights, and the drop down menus. It works well, although I have to admit to missing the menu my first time on the page. I took it for being a line of text in the header rather than a menu. A slight change in the background colour of the menu tabs can keep that from happening.
One thing I strongly recommend changing is in the scrolling display of the Gold Sponsors. Right now, clicking on some of the logos makes the company's site open in the same window. They should all be set to open in a new window so visitors can always quickly return to the Soup's On site. This would definitely move the home page from good to great.
Are you wondering what sponsor logos have to do with social media?
Social media is all about relationship marketing. And you've heard/read my position that social media is about far more than just the Golden Trio (Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter). Soup's On is building strong relationships by giving everyone as much exposure as they can.
For example, look at the pages for Menu & Restaurants and Sponsors. The sponsors all get a listing with the highest level sponsors having clickable links. That's fairly standard practice.
The restaurants get their own page -and that's good. They also get linked to their restaurant website. Giving them their own page is part of treating the restaurants as partners in the event. In addition to their own page, Soup's On also puts together a cookbook for the event.
The cookbook has a full page ad for each restaurant that's paired with a recipe for the soup that restaurant serves at the event. And we all know cookbooks are something that rarely get thrown away.
The pages, links and cookbooks are all ways of extending and carrying on the conversation after the event. Maybe you remember having a great Pumpkin Soup or Bison Chili, but you forget which restaurant served it.
The cookbook is given away as a keepsake, so you always have that to glance through. And you know you can look up the dishes served on the website. When you find the dish, just click on the link to see the restaurant's site.
Okay, that's the site. Now let's look at how they're using social media sites.
Just before I get started, let's keep in mind that this is just their 3rd year and they haven't had anyone coaching them. The reason for saying this is that I'm going to point out some areas to improve in as we go.
You've already noticed there are no links to social media sites from the website. That kind of jumps out at you because we're getting used to spotting the icons. They're in the process of changing that.
The only site they're using is Facebook. Click this link to see the page.
The difficulty they're having with Facebook is actually too much excitement from within their planning committee. Everyone is so excited about Soup's On that they've ended up with 3 Facebook Business Pages for the event. Oops.
So what we're going to do is channel that excitement into making one great Facebook Business Page for Soup's On. Then we get all the sponsor, restaurants and supported charities to Like the page. Naturally, they all also link to the website because that's where you want all the traffic going.
That said, you want to pay attention to how you send traffic to the site.
For example, when someone reads a post on the Wall, clicking a link should send them to the most relevant page on the site. When they're looking at Photos, clicking a link should at least take them to the Home Page.
That's because the Home Page has a rotating photo album. Ideally, we'll put together a photo album on the site and have traffic go there from Photos. You're getting them to the site and allowing them to see more of what they're already interested in. And in a photo album on your own site, you can add links to the ticket order page, sponsor page, or any other page that's relevant.
And, of course, the FBML (Facebook Markup Language) tab should have a sign-up box for updates and a link to the Eventbrite page for purchasing tickets. This is one of those things you have to maintain because tickets are not always on sale. For example, Soup's On just happened in October so tickets won't be on sale again until 2011.
So you only connect to the Eventbrite page when tickets are on sale. The rest of the time you put up a message that says "Sign up for updates so we can let you know when tickets are available."
The folks who organise Soup's On have correctly focused on getting the event right. It runs like clockwork, and the restaurants are super happy with the support they receive for bringing in their food and serving it. That's the right approach because all the great advertising in the world is wasted if people show up to a badly hosted event.
Now that they have the event running well. (And who can argue with 2,000 attendees at an indoor event, and over $100,000 in net proceeds!) They can invest time and effort into refining their advertising. That's really what it will be – refining – because they're obviously doing well now.
One refinement is to add other social media channels.
They going to look at Twitter to see:
- Is there Twitter traffic that's relevant to the event and supported charities?
- What kind of information are people sharing and talking about?
- Will Twitter be useful pre-event and/or during the event to increase attention?
Another site to look at is LinkedIn because of the large number of businesses already involved with Soup's On. Forming a group on LinkedIn gives people an opportunity to add that group to their profile, and share their experience within the group. It's also a place for people to mention upcoming activities with the supported charities. LinkedIn is one step in segmenting your audience and tailoring the marketing message to a niche element.
Another element they'll be making use of is Video.
They already have lots of content because there is great media coverage of Soup's On, and they have several volunteers at the event with cameras, too. Now, the inclination is to think of YouTube whenever video gets mentioned. As great as YouTube is, it's also just one site.
Visit TubeMogul (a video aggregator) and look at all the sites it allows you to distribute video content to. One of them is the Food Network – and that's an ideal fit for Soup's On.
Then there are some specifically charity-oriented social sites to check out.
- Kiva.org
- CauseOn
- Endorse for a Cause
- Cause World
Kiva is particularly interesting because they have a partnership with Twitter. This is a new partnership announced in October 2010 (just a few days ago as of this writing).
And there's the social media monitoring element to be developed, too.
We'll get Soup's On using a service such as: netvives.com, soocial oomph, and/or Google Alerts to keep track of what people are saying about the event.
Imagine getting a Google Alert 2 or 3 days after the event that contains a wonderfully complimentary blog post by someone who attended. That's a good thing to link to.
In the other direction, monitoring Twitter during the event is wise in case there is a public complaint. The Florida Aquarium does this during their Tweetups. During their very first Tweetup, someone complained on Twitter about having lost the tour group. Because they were watching, this person was found, brought back to the tour, and ended up having a terrific time; which they also tweeted about.
And monitoring what is said after the event may give you ideas for ways to improve your event.
Okay. I'm way over my 700 word limit. Let's wrap this up, and I'll be back later today with a second post. That's my way of making up for yesterday. And the post later today is about something different from Soup's On.

The provincial government's "underwhelming" response today to a groundbreaking report on the precarious state of wildlife and wilderness in BC recycles failed policies and underscores the urgent need for a species at risk law for the province says a coalition of leading environmental organizations.
"British Columbia is in desperate need of an endangered species law to recover our species at risk, and to prevent species from becoming at risk in the first place," said Devon Page of EcoJustice. "We need a law that compels habitat protection. Unfortunately that's not what was announced today."
Coming on the heels of a 300-plus page groundbreaking report by Biodiversity BC (www.biodiversitybc.org) on the precarious state of BC wildlife, "Taking Nature's Pulse," the BC Government's response, labeled the "Conservation Framework," recycles the same patchwork of weak and discretionary regulations that have failed to halt species decline in the first place. BC has over 1,600 species at risk, and is one of only two provinces without an endangered species act.
"Our focus groups show that British Columbians are shocked when they learn that 'The Best Place on Earth' doesn't have a law that protects its wildlife," said Candace Batycki of ForestEthics. "The only other Canadian province that doesn't have an endangered species act is Alberta."
"The governments' response has been underwhelming to say the least," said Dr. Faisal Moola, Director of Science with the David Suzuki Foundation. "With the fate of thousands of species hanging in the balance, and Global Warming threatening to tip the scales, we were really hoping for a law."
The groups are especially critical of the government's continuing failure to adequately fund species at risk recovery efforts, estimating that the province currently spends approximately $10 million annually on species recovery – the equivalent cost of constructing one kilometer of a four lane highway.
"While it's helpful to have a detailed description of the situation like the Biodiversity BC status report, without a law that actually compels action it's a bit like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic – or pointing and saying, 'Look! Iceberg!'" said Gwen Barlee of the Wilderness Committee.

Dr Libby on bananas
Bananas went through a phase of being touted as something to avoid due to their carbohydrate content but thankfully people are recognising their many health benefits and are turning back to them.
Bananas are higher in energy than most fruits; they're a good source of complex carbohydrate, yet tend to be one of the most easily digested fruits making them suitable for people who can't tolerate other fruits as well. What is unique about the banana is that it also provides resistant starch, which is a starch that resists digestion and goes all the way through the small intestine, passing into the large intestine to act much like fibre. Resistant starch offers many benefits including being used as a food for the friendly bacteria in the bowel, which in turn helps to protect the bowel. Resistant starch also has a satiating effect meaning it will help you to feel fuller for longer.
Slow release or complex carbohydrate snacks can be useful for healthy blood glucose management. They are great eaten with breakfast or for morning tea, perhaps with a handful of nuts. Bananas are the best fruit source of vitamin B6. One medium-sized banana provides approximately 25 per cent of daily needs. Vitamin B6 is essential for the production of neurotransmitters including serotonin and GABA, critical to happiness and sleep cycles. Bananas are also a good source of vitamin C, known for its antioxidant and anti-aging effects. Less well known however is that vitamin C is needed to make collagen, an important connective tissue structure, which helps make bones, teeth and connective tissues in the body. It's also important for the maintenance of healthy skin and the prevention of wrinkles.
Bananas also contain potassium, an essential mineral and a major electrolyte found in the human body. It plays an important role in electrolyte regulation, nerve function, muscle control, and blood pressure regulation. Potassium is found within all cells of the body. It functions to regulate water and mineral balance. It also works with sodium to maintain blood pressure. Research suggests that dietary potassium may provide a protective effect against hypertension (high blood pressure) and it is essential for a healthy heart rhythm. A good potassium intake has also been linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
Bananas are a truly nourishing snack. They're great for athletes and easy to transport. They are also easily incorporated into desserts, as a substitute for icecream and in baking. Try peeling a ripe banana, wrapping it and freezing it. It can then be mashed or pushed through a juicer for a delicious icecream. Next week I will share a recipe for a salted caramel thickshake that uses bananas as a base.

PREVIEWS Roundtable – November 2016 – Featuring Mother Panic, Occupy Avengers, A.D. After Death, Chew #60 & Much More!
Phil Allen
Overall, I'm enjoying Rebirth and how most series are going. Any series I haven't liked were ones I didn't enjoy in the New 52 and just didn't get better after the change so no big loss there. I'm looking forward to Mother Panic, it sounds like an interesting idea and I'm always in for a Gotham story. I wasn't sold on the idea of Super-Lex before, but the way Action Comics has been going really turned me around. I thought the first story in All-Star Batman #1 was good, but didn't enjoy the second; we'll see where things go from there. The new Batgirl series is good, as is Detective Comics. Batman hasn't really hooked me in yet, but I'll keep reading it. Catwoman: Election Night and New Talent Showcase sound interesting, and Super Powers just sounds fun.
A.D. After Death has had my attention since announced, mostly for the creative team of Scott Snyder and Jeff Lemire. Frontier sounds interesting too, given that Jonathan Hickman will be writing AND drawing! He's drawn before but it seems like mostly variant covers. I've been reading a few Alex De Campi books recently so Mayday will be on my list, and the CBLDF Annuals are always great! I wish Wic-Div could return NOW but I guess I can wait, Saga and The Fuse will have to tide me over. I'm a big Jim Zub fan lately, so I'm getting in on Glitterbomb.
Dark Horse:
I forgot there was a new arc of Avatar: The Last Airbender coming out, so I'll be getting North & South Part Two. I'm thinking about getting Matt Kindt's new book Ether, but I'm gonna wait to see how I like the continuation of Dept. H. I'm glad to see another Hellboy and The B.P.R.D. – 1950s series, especially since it's being written by Mike Mignola! Retirement, huh?
As the first Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series was finishing, I had assumed there would be a continuation in some form; how could they not carry on this cash cow? I didn't expect this new series though, an amalgamation of the current Nickelodeon TMNT show and the classic 90's Batman animated series. Yeah, I'm in.
James Fulton
Dark Horse:
Ether – A new creator-owned book by Matt Kindt? I'm always down, even when he isn't drawing them. (By the way, I hope everyone is reading his Dept. H, because it's fantastic).
Mother Panic – I'm curious about this new Young Animal title (well, I'm curious about all of them, really), but having just read the first issue of writer Jody Houser's Faith ongoing, I'm not sure about it. Still, Tommy Lee Edwards has never led me wrong…
A.D: After Death – I find Scott Snyder's writing to be pretty inconsistent at times, but this new prestige format (!) mini with art by Jeff Lemire looks very good. I remember that the first issue of Image+ had a lengthy preview, and I liked that.
Frontier – I love Jonathan Hickman's art, so even though I know it will be brutal, schedule-wise, I'm looking forward to this title that Hickman is both writing and drawing.
Mayday – Alex DeCampi is another writer who, when working on something creator-owned, is a buy on sight for me. She's pretty brilliant.
Chew #60 – I'm really going to miss Chew, which ends with this issue. Some scenes from this comic have been previewed for years now, so we know that at least one character will not be getting a happy ending (take that how you wish, actually).
Southern Bastards #15 – I am very happy to see this coming back from hiatus, because this comic is amazing!
Arclight #3 – I thought that the various stories that made up the 8House series were just dead, so I'm very happy to see this book return, featuring art from the amazing Marian Churchland.
IVX – I don't care about this event one way or the other, since I'm not reading any Inhumans or X-Men titles, at least none of the main ones. I hope this doesn't tie in to Ms. Marvel or Old Man Logan, but I'm sure it will…
Avengers #1 – I didn't much like ANAD Avengers, which was also written by Mark Waid, so I don't think that the addition of Mike Del Mundo and Hercules is going to be enough to get me to read this (although I do love Del Mundo's art, and think he's a bold choice for a tentpole series).
Invincible Iron Man – I think I'm going to take a wait and see approach to this, because I've gotten bored of what Bendis is doing with Tony Stark.
Unworthy Thor – This sounds interesting, but I've gotten very bored of Jason Aaron's Thor.
Thanos – I like Jeff Lemire, am indifferent to Mike Deodato, and kind of hate Thanos. I think I'll pass.
Black Panther: World of Wakanda – I like the idea that Marvel is bringing in established outside writers to play with the characters that Ta-Nehisi Coates has developed in the main Black Panther title. I like seeing this infusion of new blood into the industry, especially when it comes from people who have a worldview that is not represented in many mainstream comics. This I'm getting for sure.
Occupy Avengers – Likewise, I'm very excited about this title (even though I don't have hopes for it lasting very long). David Walker is putting Hawkeye on the road, with rotating guest stars, and dealing with people with regular problems. I'm personally hoping this is political as hell.
Ultimates #2 – I hate that this book is getting relaunched, and that it's losing Kenneth Rocafort as artist, but at least Al Ewing is keeping the cast and central concept together. This is a meaningless relaunch that is not an excuse to drop the book (like the Iron Man ones are for me).
Civil War II #8 – Oh, is that still happening? I think this has fallen into the same category as Fear Itself and Siege – completely forgettable Marvel events. It's going to be its own category on Jeopardy one day, so you better read it!
Namesake – This book, written by Steve Orlando, sounds pretty interesting. I like his work, but I don't know the artist at all, and there's not enough of a preview to convince me in time to preorder. I'll look at it on the stands.
Motro – I've liked some of the other work I've read by Ulises Fariñas, so this looks like it could be good. I'll take a look at it when it comes out too.
Harbinger Renegades – If I knew this was being written by Joshua Dysart, I'd be all over it, but I haven't made up my mind about Rafer Roberts. I picked up the first A&A trade this week, so I'll make sure to read it before this comes out, and decide if I want to support this book then.
Savage – This book, which looks like a remake of Turok, I will support on the strength of writer B. Clay Moore.
John Babos
Of DC's Young Animal imprint I'm for sure picking up DP #3 and the debut of issue of Mother Panic (as I'm sampling all the #1's). I'll be picking up Shade #2 if I like the debut issue from October.
– Doom Patrol #3
– Mother Panic #1
– Shade the Changing Girl #2
Most of these twice shipping books are on my regular reads, but Batman, Flash and Nightwing are reads arc specific.
– Action Comics #967-968 – Intrigued by the pre-Flashpoint Super-family here. This books folks on family and Lois Lane is back at the Daily Planet after the passing of the New 52 Lois Lane in Superwoman #1.
– Batman #10-11 – Curious about the "I am Suicide" arc where Batman pulls his own Suicide Squad together to take on Bane on his island fortress.
– Deathstroke #6-7 – Slade Wilson's Terminator! What's not to like?
– Detective Comics #944-945 – Batman's Outsiders done right! Love Clayface on the team and curious about Tim Drake's fate.
– The Flash #10-11 – Opal City's The Shade! Is Starman close behind?
– Green Arrow #10-11 – SJW Ollie Queen, Shado & more. Lots of fun. Will Wild Dog(s) play a role?
– Green Lanterns #10-11 – The Phantom Ring? Hmmm.
– Nightwing #9-10 – I'm reading this for the Raptor / Court of Owls subplot.
– Suicide Squad #6-7 – Task Force X goodness. Nuff said.
– Superman #10-11 – This book feels like the prelude to Super Sons that will feature Jon Kent's Superboy and Damian Wayne's Robin teaming up monthly. This book chronicles the journey Jon Kent takes to become Superboy.
These are the mixed bag of monthly and one-shot DC reads for me.
– Batman Annual #1 – Reading the twice monthly, so will pick up the Annual.
– Batman Beyond #2 – If the return of Terry McGinnis is as good as the New 52 / DC You BB was with an older Tim Drake, I'll be here for issue #2. Curious what if any role Tim Drake will have in this book.
– Blue Beetle #3 – The Rebirth one-shot looked like fun, so this is a firm maybe debuting on how I like the debut issue.
– Earth 2: Society #18 – Only JSA book on stands so I'm reading it.
– Hawkman & Adam Strange: Out of Time #2 – DC sci-fi goodness.
– New Super-Man #5 – If this book remains intriguing and fun, I'll be here for issue #5.
– New Talent Showcase #1 – Not sure about this one, but will leaf through it to make the call about a buy.
– Red Hood and the Outlaws #4 – This should be so good with the dark trinity as leads.
– Superman Annual #1 – Reading the twice monthly, so will pick up the Annual.
– Superwoman #4 – Not sure how I feel about electric Superwoman, but we'll see how the first few issues are before I decide if I'm back in November.
– Teen Titans #2 – Should be a fun read.
– Titans #5 – Loving this book's writing, art and team line-up.
– Trinity #3 – I was getting this because I didn't expect to get any of the Batman, Superman or Wonder Woman twice weekly books past first arc. However, I'm reading both sets of Worlds Finest titles and no WW, so not sure if I'll pick this one up. I'm leaning to yes, but we'll see.
– Vigilante: Southland #2 – Curious about new Vigilante.
These are my regular Valiant reads. Looks Bloodshot Reborn is on hiatus for the USA mini-series and I continue to be sad about no Timewalker ongoing series. Still some solid reads in November.
– A&A: The Adventures of Archer & Armstrong #9
– Bloodshot USA #2 (2 of 4 issue mini)
– Ninjak #21
– Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #13
Marvel's $3.99 price point keeps me from reading more of their books, but I am eager for these 3 titles.
– Prowler #2
– Squadron Supreme #13
– Thunderbolts #7
Two solid reads in November and Wonder Woman '77 meets Bionic Woman coming in December! Awesome!
– Rough Riders #7 (last issue of mini)
– Six Million Dollar Man: The Fall of Man #5 (last issue of mini)
Matt Graham
Mother Panic is the newest addition to Young Animal, and I'm all over that imprint. Gerard Way is a creative powerhouse and while I was thrown when I heard he was in charge of this new imprint, I like everything I've heard about the titles so far.
For the rest of Rebirth, at this point I'm settled in with Supergirl, Detective Comics, Deathstroke, and Harley Quinn. Perhaps Tom King's Batman will spread its wings and capture the Sheriff of Babylon or Vision magic that its lacked so far.
Marvel –
Before Civil War kicked off I anticipated rerouting a lot of my Marvel funds and time into Aftershock and Image.
Captain Marvel – Oh. There isn't one this month.
IVX – I don't care. I'll skip this aside from the X-Titles I do read. Worked for Civil War.
Occupy Avengers – The trend is a little late, but I like the road trip concept. David Walker does excellent work and hopefully the Avengers banner and Hawkeye cred give this book longer legs than Nighthawk.
Black Panther: World of Wakanda – I enjoy the new BP title and am pleasantly surprised to see it getting a supplemental book to expand on the dense narrative and characterizations. A nice injection of non-mainstream comics talent into the Marvel lifestream is just what the company needs.
Gwenpool #8 – This book makes me laugh, but unlike others that do, it's designed to.
Spider-Woman #13 – For my money, this is the one of the best titles Marvel has going.
Scarlet Witch #12 – Another Marvel title with wonderful art and an offbeat story. A little slow and the first Robinson book I've enjoyed longterm since Starman, but I'm glad this book had 12 issues. I'm hoping for a #13. I'll even take that re-#1.
Patsy Walker, A.K.A,. Hellcat! #12 – Another #12 I'm happy to see. Happier to see a #13 or #1 in December, Marvel.
All-New Wolverine #14 – Editor Mark Paniccia confirmed another year of Laura in the annual. Excellent. We already knew this thanks to Marvel's spoileriffic advanced teasing style. Enemy of the State was an awesome Wolverine arc, and unlike Civil War or Clones, EotSII is a sequel I'll take without snark. This will be the second part, so I hope it kicked off with a bang.
Violent Love #1 – Daisy and Rock are violent bank robbers who fall in love. I'm down for a Natural Born Killers pulp criminal romance book.
Snotgirl #5 – The first arc of O'Malley's new ongoing concludes. The first two issues have hooked me, so I know I'm in this far.
Surgeon X #3 – This book about black market underground medical practices looks to be interesting.
Dark Horse –
Lady Killer 2 #4 (of 5) – I love Joelle Jones and Jamie S. Rich's violent black comedy about a 1960s homemaker who balances motherhood and marriage against working as a killer for hire.
Dept. H #8 – Matt Kindt's science-mystery ongoing reminds me of the Crichton novels I devoured as a kid.
Ether #1 (of 5) – Matt Kindt spins a miniseries about a scienctific adventurer caught up in a magical fantasy realm. Kindt's name and the concept are an easy sell. David Rubin on art is icing.
Boom – I buy Power Rangers comics in all forms.
Aftershock –
Marguerite Bennett has earned a reader for life, so Animosity #4 and Insexts #9 are a given. Somehow Bennett has access to my head and custom tailors her Aftershock books just for my tastes.
Shipwreck #2 – Warren Ellis and Phil Hester bring us a six missue mini about the sole survivor of a shipwreck who finds himself pursuing a saboteur down an endless road. I expect Ellis to be on point with his sci-fi mind warping. It'll look great, too.

Mediation offers couples an alternative to traditional court litigation, which may be advantageous for some people.
Couples have several options when they wish to file for divorce in Pennsylvania. While some people are able to negotiate the matters of their divorce amicably without any legal help, others must go through court litigation. There is an alternative to litigation, however, that may be ideal for couples who wish to create the terms of their divorce settlement with minimal legal help. People can use mediation as a way to negotiate crucial matters, such as property division, child custody, parenting schedules and alimony, in a neutral and non-confrontational setting.
What is mediation?
Mediation sessions occur in a laid-back atmosphere under the direction of a third-party mediator. The mediator is available to direct the negotiations process and to ensure all topics are covered. Although the mediator can answer legal questions, he or she cannot give any personalized legal advice to either party. That is why some people choose to have their attorney present at the mediation session as well, even though a lawyer is not required to be there.
A look at the benefits
According to the American Bar Association, creating a divorce settlement through mediation offers several advantages when compared to court litigation. These include the following:
•· Speed: The negotiations process may only take one or two sessions.
•· Flexibility: Couples are often able to schedule the mediation sessions on their own time rather than have to wait for a lengthy court date.
•· Affordable: Mediation is usually less expensive than going through litigation, as there are usually no court costs involved.
•· Less stressful: Mediation is more casual, making the process less stressful for many people.
In addition to these benefits, studies show that couples who undergo mediation are able to maintain a better relationship post-divorce than they would if they had gone through an emotional court battle. This may be best for parents or business partners who must continue a relationship once the divorce is finalized.
Things to think about
Mediation is not for everyone. Couples who are unable to communicate with one another may not be able to negotiate during the mediation session. In order for mediation to work properly, each party must be willing to compromise, and should come to the session ready to resolve the terms of the divorce.
Bring an advocate to the session
Some people may feel more at ease when they have their personal attorney present with them at the mediation session. An attorney may be helpful by looking out for your best interests during the negotiations process. You want to make sure you get everything you're entitled to in the divorce settlement, and an attorney may assist you through the process.

The Predator is one of my favorite movie monster designs. I really love the original design by Stan Winston from Predator and to a lessor extent Predator 2. I always liked the end scene in Predator 2 when Danny Glover's character Mike Harrigan is surrounded by the other Predators from that clan after killing the City Hunter Predator. The uniqueness of each Predator's design I feel inspires me to try to make my own Predator figures.
NECA has made a lot of predator figures by now and that makes it a little easier to put together a custom one. This is my first custom NECA Predator which I've nicknamed 'Gremlin Predator' mainly due to the green skin pattern and mask design. I've got at least one more custom Predator in the works, which I'll post when it's finished
This custom uses parts from a couple of Predators: Guardian/Gort, P1 and Borg/Lost. I repainted the armour brown with a metallic dry-brush to bring out the details. I've quite happy with the results.
NOTE: since taking the photos I've also added the Predator 1 bone necklaces to help add a little bit more character to the figure.

What is SharePoint / Office DevPatterns & Practices (PnP) web cast series?
SharePoint / Office Dev Patterns & Practices (PnP) webcast series covers different patterns, practices and topics around development with Office 365 and SharePoint. Majority of the topics are valid for the Office 365 and SharePoint on-premises. Our objective is to release new around 30 minute long web cast each Monday with few slides and a live demo on the covered topic. All web casts are published at the PnP YouTube channel with additional references on the existing materials.
PnP is community driven open source project where Microsoft and external community members are sharing their learning's around implementation practices for Office 365 and SharePoint on-premises (add-in model). Active development and contributions happen in our GitHub repositories under dev branch and each month there will be a master merge (monthly release) with more comprehensive testing and communications. Latest activities and future plans are covered in our monthly community calls which are open for anyone from the community. Download invite from http://aka.ms/SPPnP-Call.
This is work done by the community for the community without any actual full time people. It's been great to find both internal and external people who are willing to assist and share their learning's for the benefit of others. This way we can build on the common knowledge of us all. Currently program is facilitated by Microsoft, but already at this point we have multiple community members as part of the Core team and we are looking to extend the Core team with more community members.
If you have any questions, comments or feedback around PnP program or this blog post, please use the Microsoft Tech Community (SharePoint Developer group).

Over the past two weeks, tens of thousands of Sunnis have staged demonstrations, and in Anbar province they have blocked a highway to Syria in a show of anger against Maliki, whom they accuse of marginalizing their community and monopolizing power.
The discontent is real, but the protests are driven by Sunni Islamist parties bent on carving out an autonomous region akin to the Kurdish one in the north, Kurdish and Sunni sources say.
They say the Sunni Islamists scent an opportunity to escape what they see as Shi'ite domination, counting on a victory by Sunni rebels trying to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, whose Alawite minority has its roots in Shi'ite Islam…
Some waving Saddam-era Iraqi flags, protesters have echoed the chants of Arab uprisings that have brought down leaders in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen in the past two years.
"We will never relent. Enough of Sunnis living in Iraq like outsiders. This time it's do or die for us," said Jamal Adham, a tribal leader from Saddam's former hometown of Tikrit.

One of the characters in the novel I'm writing now will sicken and die within a year. It's sad, I know, but life expectancy in the 17th century averaged at around 35 years, so death tends to play a big role in stories from that time.
I had planned for this character to die from tuberculosis or "consumption" as they called it, which was the number-one killer at the time. This research in itself was fascinating, because there exists a list of death causes from the time including the "King's Evil," "plague in the guts," and "teeth and worms."
But I soon learned that people with untreated TB can suffer for five to 10 years before they succumb. That would not work for this character. Then I stumbled upon an unexpected 17th century disease, anorexia.
Like many people, I had thought anorexia a fairly modern disease that was all about body image. I was wrong on both counts. Physicians were recording anorexic symptoms in the 17th century. And, it is not really about body image, it's about control:
To understand anorexia you need to remove the misconception and preconception that this mental disorder is entirely about the need to be thin. The following are a few of the other factors that contribute to eating disorders:
- A strong desire to feel in control of one aspect of a life that is difficult or out of control, or a need to feel in control of a life that is controlled by others
- A strong desire to be perfect
- Past emotional abuse or negative comments about image from others
- Depression can lead individuals to believe that there is no need to continue eating, or they may get too wrapped up in their depression to remember to eat much
- Dancers, performers and athletes are often under great pressure to lose weight so that they can attain levels of unrealistic and perceived perfection
In the 17th century, physicians called the symptoms they were seeing "nervous atrophy" or "consumption." A post by Julie O'Toole covers the documentation in a clinic blog post. In 1689, a doctor describes working with both female and male patients with similar symptoms. He calls it a "distemper" of the nervous system which destroys the nerves and causes a "wasting of the body."
His female patient, who was having "fainting fits," tried all of his remedies, including aromatic bags and plasters applied to the stomach, to no avail. She eventually tired of his treatments and begged to let nature take its course.
She died three months later.
The male, son of a clergyman, "fell gradually into a total want of appetite, occasioned by his studying too hard and the passions of his mind." He advised the patient to abandon his studies, take the country air, and go on a milk diet. The patient regained his health at least temporarily, but was not cured of the disease.
I am fascinated by this case study, and it opens up new thinking for me. The character in my story is likely to suffer similarly to the female patient, but I now have a better way of describing the mindset of this disease, to present it more accurately to readers. It also adds an interesting layer of complexity to the story that I had not realized before, and I can't wait to unravel it.
I also have two dear friends whose daughters nearly lost their lives to this terrible disease. Fortunately, those girls were able to overcome it. The fear and pain the families suffered was unimaginable. Through story, readers can gain a better understanding of the impacts of this disease.
The book underway has the working title of Glencurragh, and is slated for publication in 2016.
In the meantime, read Sharavogue, a novel of 17th century Ireland and the West Indies, available on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, indiebound.com, and also on iTunes for iBooks.
It's a fast-paced historical adventure with a strong female lead. Happy reading!

Counseling Center
Now into it's third year, The Counseling Center for women and children is very busy with all of the activities originally planned and additional programs offered from time to time by visiting professionals from America.
In July, 2013, an American team of medical professionals visited Ploiesti, bringing a variety of specialty workshops, medical clinics, and informative presentations.
Medical Team 2013
One of the first classes offered in July was an English Class, taught by two Americans who challenged the participants to learn basic English phrases needed if traveling to an English speaking country. Participants enjoyed learning basic phrases and practiced them in a practical context. Laughter and enthusiasm were contagious.
Brock and Katy facilitated this class of English lessons.
Simultaneously, a more intimate workshop for women met in another room of the Center. These women came to learn the theory, practical coping mechanisms, and helpful interventions about eating disorders. This was informative and helpful for the women who attended.
Shelly presents a workshop to young mothers on Early Childhood Development. (above)
As featured speaker at the Women's Tea on Saturday, Katy shared her compelling personal story and her years of recovery, through God's love and abiding grace, following many years of brokeness as a young wife and mother.
The Medical Clinics in Rural Romania, 2013
By weeks end, the American team had served hundreds of Romanians in rural medical clinics. Both both young and old came with their medical problems.
College students from both Romania and American helped one another communicate with the patients who came seeking medical help.
Optical specialists from Slobozia brought sophisticated diagnostic equipment to the villages to diagnose for corrective lenses. Hundreds of villagers received complimentary diagostics and eye glasses.

These dynamic Romanian young people have a real ministry with the young people in their village. The Americans were impressed by the commitment shared.
The entire team celebrates the day's end after helping more than 400 villagers from this remote rural area of southeastern Romania.
The Josphine Knox Counseling Center
The remodeled women's center below is the current site of the counseling center for victims of domestic violence, human trafficking and other acts of aggression.
A woman's counseling center is the first step in Transitions Gate's three-phase project in Romania.
The picture to the right was the center while in reconstruction in 2009. Transition's Gate has funded this start up operation in Ploiesti, and celebrated the Grand Opening on April 22nd, 2010.
Read about the grand opening event
Although the program's primary function is not to manage client and family crises, the staff is educated and trained to identify and manage these difficult situations. In addition, all participants are given clear perspective on their current situation and assistance finding the resources to achieve their goals. Based on the empowerment philosophy, the goals of counseling are to increase the women's coping skills and to offer the support, encouragement and resources needed.
Social Counseling
The social workers assist in assessing the needs and goals of each woman, then help to identify their respective strengths and talents to achieve their goals. Jointly, this team drafts a treatment plan.
Psychological Counseling
The program's participant has two options: support groups or individual counseling.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling focuses on the person's feeling and emotional state but also on her needs. Counseling provides the necessary education regarding the myths, realities, and dynamics involved with domestic violence as well as necessary coping skills for stress management.
Support Groups
The support groups provide a safe environment for sharing (small number of participants, same hour and place for meeting). The participants have an opportunity for personal growth, socialization, education, prevention and/or to work toward a group goal. In addition, the women are encouraged to express themselves, share their experiences, and connect with peers.
Legal Counseling
The participants receive information about the legal system, their rights and options for assistance. Compassion & Care staff explores, with the participants, the pros and the cons of each individual's situation. After the participants make a decision for positive change, as necessary, they receive supportive instruction for mandatory court forms. The women are accompanied to Court by their attorney and the center's security.
Alcohol Recovery Programs
Alcohol recovery programs for alcoholics and families and loved ones of alcoholics has just been added as a weekly program at the center. These support groups will meet the needs of children and adults who are suffering from the trauma of alcohol addiction in their homes.

Few pages back, some debate on first Wimpy bar; I can confirm (pretty sure about this) the first Wimpy bar in the '60's was in Ironmonger Row, where Ladbrokes are. I used to go there, a few times for morning coffee and burger. I ended up twice getting incredible stomach pains, really painful, and then I remembered both times were after visiting this Wimpy bar. Of course I don't know was it connected or not. Where I live now there is a original timber Wimpy bar take away, dating back to the sixties, and they cook to order, very occasionally use it for a treat.
