Everyone said they got a lot out of their classes and there was still accolades about how wonderful our conference had been.
Show & Share:
**Cecelia shared some of her work from conference with us.
Evening Presentation:
**Carole did a fabulous job pulling all her resources together to present an overview of color, color harmonies, and color theory, explaining terms, demonstrating color with a sampling of her quilts, and providing handouts with her best advice on color palettes and color wheels to just name a couple things with suggestions if we'd like more information. We even learned that using a small piece of red cellophane allows us to see the value of a color more clearly! She set up 3 stations for us to explore more on color with one table set up for trying out a wide variety of colored pencils from across the globe, giving us an opportunity to see which ones we liked best. It was a ton of material to cover in just one night, but she did a fantastic job!

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was presented to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New York World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd earliest nameplate presently in production. Original sales projections predicted less than 100,000 units for the very first year. This mark was exceeded in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be offered during the model year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were constructed. Looking for Mustangs for sale in Bethany OK is easy now. Just use the internet to search for them near you.
Classic Mustangs For Sale
All these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, however numerous changes were made at the standard opening of the new design year (beginning August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the intro of generators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production included some uncommon peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design beneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These qualities made enough distinction to necessitate classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has endured with purists. Buy Classic Mustangs in Bethany OK and live the muscle car dream.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more rigid contamination laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the first time in automobile history that the Big 3 were needing to compete with imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the first version however, due to the extra devices needed to meet new United States emission and safety regulations, was much heavier than the first design. Performance was decreased and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were sold. 2nd generation Mustangs were offered in between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was redesigned a third time. This time it was based upon the larger Fox platform and the interior was really big enough for 4 people. The trunk was bigger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles offered included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the 3rd generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 pace car and Ford built 10,478 commemorative reproductions. The 3rd generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982. Now has never been a better time to buy the Ford Mustang Of Your Dreams in Bethany OK with special collector financing available.
Fourth generation style was readily available from 1994 to 2004. 1994 Brought about the first major redesign for the Mustang in 15 years. Patrick Schiavone integrated numerous styling from earlier Mustangs. The base design featured a 3.8 OHV V6 engine from 1994 to 1998, and was mated to a basic 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic.

Non-resident companies: non-resident group
A TCGA92/S13 charge could arise on the disposal of an asset by a non-resident company to another company under the control of the same shareholders or participators. TCGA92/S14 prevents this if the transfer is between members of a non-resident group of companies, see CG57401. It does this by applying some of the general Capital Gains Tax rules for groups to non-resident groups for the purposes of calculating the Section 13 charge.

I celebrated Chinese New Year with my father's and step mother's favorite restaurant. They like spicy stuff and claimed that this place has the real thing. Better than the declining Szechuan Home just accross from it.
The restaurant is medium sized place with standard chinese restaurant decor - nice. There was a taiko drum near the door for decoration.
Here are the dishes we ordered:
Spicy combinations: thinly sliced beef and tripe marinated in reddish spicy sauce. It is not numbingly hot and has good flavor.
Szechwan Home Style Chicken: coarse slices of white meat chicken immersed in the often seen oily red spicy sauce. It's not numbing hot. It's not my favorite, not much flavor IMO.
Kidney(?) sauteed with celery and dried red chilis: the kidney was sliced thin and had the criss-cross patterns to enhance the flavor. This was numbing hot and will sear anyone's tongue. Not for the faint of heart ! It's good actually but I hate the numbing sensation afterwards.
Braised Pork Shoulder: this was large piece of shoulder meat with plenty of the fat still clinging. The sauce is brownish in color and slightly salty in taste. I could taste the strong pork flavor which actually reduce the pleasure.
Smoked tea duck: fatty duck slices with crackling skin (fried?). It's not like peking duck. Tasted a bit like KFC. Again , not my fave.
Golden Lake House Special fish: huge bowl of white flesh fish in small pieces with clear thin noodles. Whole thing is immersed in a very salty broth. The chef also added huge amount of floating dried red chilles. Too salty for me.
Dry Cooked Green Beans: green beans are fried until slightly charred and minced pork and garlics were added for flavor. Good version.
Our dessert was deep fried sweet potato cake. The fillings were the dark sweet beans paste. We also got a small bowl of assorted things such as shredded jellies in a semi-sweet water. The desserts were excellent IMO.
Service was good in the beginning and got worse as more crowds dined. It's standard for these kinds of places, I think.
It definitely intriguing. Some of the dishes were new to me. More explorations of the dishes are needed in this place. It definitely tasted authentic and on par with the much acclaimed Szechuan Home of the old days.

More than 250 students from local schools gathered at Ayitepa village to celebrate Global Wind Day. Wind farm developers Mainstream Renewable Power and NEK Umwelttechnik organised the event close to the site of the proposed 225MW Ayitepa Wind Farm which is on track to commence construction early next year.
During the course of the event the students were given a presentation on the wind farm, an overview of wind energy and they also heard from Ghana Wildlife Society on conservation awareness. This is the second large-scale community event hosted by the wind farm developers; in February more than 300 community members attended a full day community engagement meeting to learn about the wind farm and agreed to cooperate in support of the project to bring the maximum benefits to the area.
Speaking at the Global Wind Day celebration, Francis Tsatsu Owulah, the project's Community Liaison Officer said: "We are delighted that the local schools here in Ayitepa have attended in such high numbers to celebrate wind energy and learn about this wind farm and how it could power up to 10% of the country's electricity demand when fully operational. We expect the wind farm to commence construction early next year and being the country's first large-scale wind farm, we are very excited about the benefits it will bring to the local community here in Ayitepa and beyond."
Addressing the students at the event, John Tsiker, speaking on behalf of the District Chief Executive Hon Al-Hajj Sa Rhack Nartley said: "So far the support from this community towards the project has been very tremendous. This will not only generate additional income for the Assembly but will also create job opportunities for the people of Ayitepa and its surroundings.
He concluded: "This project which is also the first of its kind in West Africa will also service as a tourist attraction when completed. This additional power supply will go a long way to alleviate the erratic power supply that we are now experiencing in our country."

A part of San Francisco popular with tourists and locals alike has seen a spike in burglaries since the beginning of the year.
Over the first four months of 2014 -- the most up-to-date data available -- the police district that stretches from Market Street north to Fisherman's Warf and encompasses North Beach and Chinatown has experienced a 67 percent increase in burglaries. The City as a whole has had only a 7 percent increase.
There were 299 burglaries in the Central Police District in the first four months of this year compared to 179 in the same time period in 2013. By comparison, the police district with the next-highest increase was the Mission, which saw a 42 percent spike (141 to 200).
The spike in burglaries coupled with other property crimes like car thefts and auto burglaries has been noticeable enough to raise concerns among community groups, police and the area's supervisor.
"In this area, I think it's one of the bigger concerns along with car break-ins," said Mike Madrid, who lives on the 400 block of Vallejo Street and is a board member of the Telegraph Hill Dwellers Association.
New district Capt. David Lazar has met with neighborhood-watch groups and stepped up patrols while warning people to take precautions, Madrid said.
Supervisor David Chiu also has been fielding questions from constituents about burglaries.
"I have certainly heard from neighbors about an uptick in these crimes," said Chiu, who noted that neighborhood concerns also include car burglaries and car thefts.
Whether the spike in burglaries is concentrated in one area of the district is unknown, but at least some say the crimes seem to be more than just crimes of opportunity.
John Golinger, a former Telegraph Hill Dwellers president, said the spate of burglaries seems to be a bit more aggressive, almost as if people are casing buildings.
"I can say there's been a spike in prowler activity in and around Russian Hill, Telegraph Hill over the last six months to a year," Golinger said.
Much of the uptick in burglaries took place during Capt. Garret Tom's tenure in the Central district.
He had no comment on the trend Monday.
Lazar also would not comment on the burglaries.

write4kids Editor's note: Audrey is a 13-year-old student from California who is currently working on her own novel between school, sports and choir. She's also a Contributing Editor to Write4Kids, focusing on middle grade and YA literature.
AUDREY — I've interviewed Alma Alexander. Ms. Alexander has published the YA fantasy series Worldweavers from HarperTeen. She wrote a novel as a 14 year old, and she has been editing it and revising it on a website: http://heritageofclan.wordpress.com/
Your writing style is super evocative. Do you have any tips on making the story come to life? You seem to strike a good balance between description and action—how do you do it?
ALMA: I have this odd way of "seeing" things as I write, as if I was seeing a movie projected on the inside of my brain. There's always a context to this – a setting – and I am detail-oriented enough to immerse myself in this completely. But it's as though as the visual component of it is the last to fall into place in this sensurround projection that I'm plunged into. First I'll smell the salt on the breeze, or step onto a stray seashell and crunch it underfoot, or hear the distant sound of breaking surf – and only then will I truly open my eyes and confirm that I am standing beside an ocean. You have more senses than just your sight – trust them to guide you, trust them to open sensations you may not have realized were there before you closed your eyes to the relentless pressure of what you can SEE.
On the other tentacle, just because something is present is no reason to shoehorn it into the story.
It's important to know WHICH details are important. Not everything is. And this really comes with practice. It's also important to know when to STOP describing, and focus on what a character in this detailed setting is about to DO – because now you're writing the STORY. The story is a forward motion, with the character in the midst of action. Yes, defining the setting is part of the battle – but now you have to let the character go, and see what that character DOES with that setting.

Greetings Bloggeritas! Some days I wake up and I feel like I've never been to sleep. That is becoming my norm rather than, my exception. In the hustle and bustle of life, being a mother, a wife, a full time employee, a full time student and a small (teeny tiny) business owner, I get bogged down. I don't carve out much me time and when I do...it's not very much. I rarely stop and smell the roses anymore! So anyway, I used this Mojo Monday sketch to remind myself to live! I hope you enjoy my card. Here are the juices and berries:
I'm not in the mood as of late to complete a supply list at the end of my posts...I'm sure that feeling will return...eventually! Enjoy the rest of your Thursday!

Oh, please, YES!
Washington Post: Trump Could Install MILO As Press Secretary If He 'Really Wants To Shake Things Up' Guess who Trump's other Breitbart guest was? If he really wants to shake things up, Trump could install Yiannopoulos — the self-described "most fabulous supervillain on the internet" — as his press secretary. Just imagine briefings with this guy.We'll know Milo is being seriously considered for the job by the stricken white faces on the Secret Service agents responsible for doing his background check. As one gentleman commented on Twitter, "they're going to need a bigger binder."
Personally, I'd like to see William S. Lind for Secretary of Education.
President-elect Donald Trump announced on Sunday that Stephen K. Bannon will be the White House Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor while Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus will serve as White House Chief of Staff.Not a bad start. Priebus is GOPe, but he played it fair and merits being given a chance to prove himself. Bannon upsets the cucks and liberals, and having an Alt-Right Chief Strategist is about as optimal as it gets. The Left is already freaking out.
"Bannon and Priebus will continue the effective leadership team they formed during the campaign, working as equal partners to transform the federal government, making it much more efficient, effective and productive," stated a press release from Trump's transition team on Sunday. "Bannon and Priebus will also work together with Vice President-elect Mike Pence to help lead the transition process in the run-up to Inauguration Day."
"Trump names white nationalist figure 'Chief Strategist to the President'"
Sounds pretty damned good, doesn't it. Speaking as a Red nationalist, why shouldn't whites have a nation too?

how to avoid romanian card deactivation (Bucharest)
My Husband was working in Bucharest some time ago and will have to go back in the foreseeable future! He bought himself a prepaid card and he just got a message from his provider, stating that this number will be deactivated, if he does no top up the card.
Does anybody know of a service that allows you to top up a Romanian Cosmote card from another country? Can you do it over the internet by any chance?
Your help would be much appreciated, since my husband doesn't want to loose that number!
Kind regards,

Well its been about 7 months since I left my husband. After a while the anger and hate is less but you still feel the hurt and pain. He wants me to come back, and to give him another chance but i feel so torn. I still dont trust him after him had that little fling, but he wants me to give him another chance. I dont know I just feel so torn apart. Its like I know I shouldnt go back. theres always that 'what if' you know... what if things go back to the way they were, what if he starts spending 10+ hours on the pc again,what if he... he meets someone else and decides to have a fling again, what if... I dont want to go through all that again, and I sure as hell dont want my son living in that kind of inviorment again. But I do want him to have a daddy. I dont know, I'm just rambling. Maybe I'm lonely, Maybe I miss him, maybe i just miss someone, I cant figure it out. anyways, I better call it a night. Anyone have any advice? I would love to hear it.

"He gets home from work, starts playing, and generally doesn't get off until bed time. Any day off is an all-day gaming fests. He currently is getting up around 5am to play for a couple of hours before work.
I took a trip last week to see family and he stayed home because he had work, although he's only working 4 days a week right now. I asked him to do two things while I was gone: wash my car for me (the cars are supposed to be his responsibility always) and water my plants. He watered the plants once (he says...they were wilted when I got home), and did nothing to the car."
I don't really know what to say, I've read a lot of posts and i can relate to a lot of them. My husband was an eq addict, he introduced me to the game, I guess he was tired of me nagging him to get off the computer for a while... lol. so yes I started playing, and for a couple of months I was on most of the time, unless I was taking care of my son or the house, then I started to realize that I was slowly getting sucked in, I lost my friends, my family, my husband, I even forgot who I was. So I stopped playing. I wanted to be a family again, but I guess my husband at that point had other plans, he had met someone on the game. If he wasn't playing EQ then he was on the phone with her and so on... at first I blamed myself, I figured it was something about me. so I started trying... trying what? well I'd try to get him to get out of the house with me, go on family trips, even if its just to a store of for a walk. I even had to work hard to get him to sit at the dinner table with his son and I. but after a while I just gave up, I figured there was nothing I could do. He didn't want to get help, or got to a marriage consoler or any such thing. He said he was in love with this girl. So I told him I was leaving... and I did, It was very hard, I felt guilty for a while, I'm getting better I've been gone for three months.. I don't know why I'm saying all this, its the first time i get it out in the open and I guess I'm just trying to understand it myself as well.
Do I blame the game? Well I used to, but then I think its just a game, there are many people out there that can manage how long they play. Then there are some that lose track of time completely, I thought I was gonna become one of them

Online Relationships... are they? Here is someone else's well-thought out opinion.
"My husband works full time and when he is at home he is on the computer. Sometimes he stays up all night when he works the next day if not playing the game then downloading videos reorganizing his files or just fooling around. Its almost like I have to schedule time with him two days beforehand if I want to do something. Because God only knows that if I make the suggestion mid-play time he gets unusually agitated for a man who is otherwise easy going and laid back. I have talked to him about it but he doesn't seem to understand. I'll never leave him for it or anything like that, I love him. But sometimes I wonder if my life will be like this for the next 50 years."

"I used to play Everquest to an obsessive extent. Not to the extent that I would skip work or sleep (actually, that's not 100%, for a while I would stay up until 4-5 am to participate in raids, only to find myself having to go to work at 9 am), but enough to isolate myself from my surroundings and the people I was close to. My ex was playing it, and I joined him out of curiousity and because I wanted to have a common hobby with him. The funny thing is that we ended up not playing together and not in the same guilds anyways - he helped me initially with items and levels but preferred playing with his group of friends who were all higher level than me. I was working on a project in another city at that time as well, so my weekly activities typically were as follows:
Monday - thursday: work in the other city (where I had no access to the game). Arriving back home on thursday night, where I would go to bed or sometimes even log in right away. Friday, saturday and sunday I was nonstop on the game alongside my ex, interrupted in between by obligatory family visits or seeing what was in the fridge.
When my project finished, I came back, and the playing increased even more so - logging in as soon as we went through the housedoor, playing on friday nights until 2 in the morning, then going to bed, waking up at 9 am and going right back in. Basic household chores got done occasionally but mostly during downtimes in the game (medding up, sitting waiting for a raid). Oddly enough I was the one doing more of the housework even while both of us were playing Everquest.
This continued on for a couple of years, and at some time I realized that I had absolutely nothing in common with the person playing next to me. We separated and I made the mistake of falling for another Everquest player. After a long-distance courtship that lasted about a year, he moved into my place while trying to find a job. Of course, even though he was looking for a job (which he only did sporadically; what he did everyday while I was working I have no clue), I ended up working full-time, cooking and keeping the place clean - and paying for his stay here other than his groceries and drinks. If he actually cooked (rarely) he acted as if he had done me a HUGE favour. There were some other very serious issues with him including alcoholism, verbal / emotional abuse and lots and lots of lies, but almost needless to say, I think I have learned my lesson about dating online and looking out for specific red flags.
I have stopped playing Everquest - the time required to put into this game to be somewhat 'successful' was too costly for me. I did not want to miss out on activities anymore, I wanted to meet with friends, I wanted to not feel bad about my figure and my health, and most of all, I wanted to do things I've never tried before. I doubt I will ever spent that much time playing in front of the computer again - it is a time-wasting activity that can be entertaining for a short while, but there are no long-term benefits. No personal growth, no accomplishments that you can look back on fondly, no advancement of any sort applicable to real life. Or at least nothing that cannot be accomplished in real life, with real people. Without ruining my own health or well-being.
I think some people learn over time, some people never will never wisen up. The only advice I have for people who find themselves in these situations is to trust your gut - don't give up hope in yourself and don't believe anyone trying to make you believe that you are supposed to be carrying their load."
Here's a link to an EQ player's experience of guilds. It is well-written and articulate and quite philosophical. Yet, while insightful and intelligent, it lacks a tad more, how this relates to real-life. People who act this way also often act cold toward the people in their real lives, yet it is barely mentioned. People who treat people online like family also often do this in exchange for treating family member not like family at all. A high-quality family guild still requires the members to spend countless hours in front of the computer "helping" their guildmates thereby choosing to spend time away from the real family members... kind of ironic, isn't it?

Blaue Blume Dessert Stand
The dessert stand has always been a tableware object of negligible necessity, a little altar for baked goods that can nevertheless be worshipped for its aesthetics, as any self-respecting collector will tell you. But this vintage lace-patterned Blaue Blume Dessert stand designed by Tina Tsang really does take the cake…
Made in the U.K. and available in all-white or "gold shoes" versions, it's made of usable, sturdy (but hand wash only) earthenware despite the over-the-top kitschy design.
The cake stand and more tableware from Tina Tsang is available from Hidden Art Shop

Will an ADHD Assessment Benefit You?
Has your primary care physician recommended ADHD testing for you?
Do you struggle with wandering thoughts, having difficulty with memory, or are you continually misplacing things?
Are you having a hard time remaining focused at school or at work?
Are your relationships starting to become impacted by lack of motivation, impulsive behaviors, or unclear communication?
ADHD testing may help guide you on your path toward managing these struggles!
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder marked by an ongoing pattern of inattention, hyperactivity-impulsivity, or both, that interferes with functioning or development. ADHD can have a drastic impact on work, school, behavior, and relationships.
ADHD in Adults:
Did you know that ADHD is commonly over diagnosed in children, but commonly UNDER DIAGNOSED in adults?
One reason is because as adults we are generally able to compensate for it by having some control over our environment. For example, say I'm unable to sit still for long enough to have a traditional desk job. I may instead choose to become a cook, construction worker, or a mailman in order to compensate for my distain for sitting for long periods of time.
Another reason is because adults are generally higher functioning than children (… I realize this is not always the case:). Since adults are able to function at a high level, we are often able to compensate for ADHD more than a child or an adolescent is able to. This is especially common in adults with higher than average IQ. Their advanced executive functioning helps to improve their control over the symptoms associated with ADHD. Basically they are smart enough to create bypasses in the brain to help manage barriers associated with ADHD.
However, even though adults may be able to manage it to some extent, ADHD, if left untreated, can have a drastic impact on a person's career, relationships, and everyday life. The first step in building a plan to manage ADHD is to identify whether it is actually ADHD that you are dealing with!
ADHD in Children/Adolescents:
To some extent, children will be forgetful, impulsive, inappropriate, and difficult to control. This is part of childhood! Some of this is a natural part of cognitive and social development. However a certain percentage of young people are dealing with more than just the average childhood difficulties.
Typically, children are able to maintain focus and retain memories by having their brain decide what is meaningful enough to do so. If their brain says, "this is worth remembering," or, "I am interested in this topic," their brain is usually capable of meeting their need. But when someone has ADHD, this places an additional barrier on focus/memory encoding process. Not only does their brain have to decide if the event is meaningful enough, it also has to jump over the ADHD hurdle.
The result is often a lot of behavioral, communicative, and apparent memory issues. This can spell disaster for a developing human brain, and can lead to difficult social development for kids.
However, if we can identify that the child is in fact dealing with ADHD, we can begin to build a plan toward managing these symptoms.

The elder Bonza's, in the mean time, more harden'd in their Sect, and more obstinate than the young, spar'd for nothing to maintain their possession. They threatn'd the people with the wrath of their Gods, and denounc'd the total destruction of the Town and Kingdom; they said, The God whom the Europeans believ'd, was not Deos, or Deus, as the Portuguese call'd him, but Dajus, that is to say, in the Japonian Tongue, a Lie, or Forgery. They added, That this God impos'd on men a heavy Toke. What Iustice was it to punish those who transgress'd a Law, which it was impossible to keep· But where was Providence, if the Law of Jesus was necessary to Salvation, which suffer'd fifteen Ages to slide away, without declaring it to the most noble part of all the world? Surely a Religion, whose God was partial in the dispensation of his Favours, cou'd not posibly be true. And if the European Doctrine had but a shadow of truth in it, China cou'd never have been so long without the knowledge of it. These were the principal heads of their Accusation, and Xavier reports them in his Letters; but he gives not an account of what answers he return'd; and they are not made known to us by any other hand: Thus, without following two or three Historians, who make him speak according to their own Ideas, on all these Articles, I shall content my self with what the Saint himself had left in writing. The Idolaters instead of congratulating their own happiness, that they were enlighten'd by the Beams of Faith, bemoan'd the blindness of their Ancestors, and cry'd out in a lamentable tone; What are our Fore-fathers burning in hell-fire, because they didn't adore a God, who was unknown to them, and observ'd not a Law, which never was declar'd? The Bonza's added fuell to their Zeal, by telling them, The Portuguese Priests were good for nothing, because they cou'd not redeem a Soul from Hell, whereas they cou'd do it at their pleasure, by their Fasts and Prayers: That eternal punishments, either prov'd the cruelty or the weakness of the Christian God: His cruelty, if he did not deliver them, when he had it in his power; his weakness, if he cou'd not execute what he desir'd. Lastly, That Amida and Xaca, were far more merciful, and of greater power; but that they were only pleas'd to redeem from Hell, those who, during their mortal life, had bestow'd magnificent Alms upon the Bonza's
We are ignorant of all those particular answers of the Saint, as I said above: we only know from his Relation, that concerning the sorrow of the Iaponians, for having been bereft for so many Ages of Christian Knowledge, he had the good fortune to give them comfort, and put them in a way of more reasonable thoughts: For he shew'd them in general, That the most ancient of all Laws, is the Law of God, not that which is publish'd by the found of words, but that which is written in Hearts, by the hand of Nature; so that every one who comes into the World, brings along with him certain Precepts, which his own Instinct and Reason teach him. Before Japan receiv'd its Laws form the Wisemen of China, said Xavier, it was known amongst you, that Theft and Adultery were to be avoided; and from thence it was that Thieves and Palliards sought out secret places, wherein to commit those Crimes. After they had committed them, they felt the private stings of their own Consciences, which cease not to reproach the guilty to themselves, though their wickedness be not known to others, nor even so much as prohibited by Humane Laws. Suppose an Infant bred up in Forrests amongst the Beasts, far from the society of Mankind, and remote from the civilis'd Inhabitants of Towns, yet he is not without an inward knowledge of the Rules of Civil Life; for ask him, whether it be not an evil Action to murther a man, to despoil him of his Goods, to violate his Bed, to surprise him by Force, or circumvent him by Treachery, he will answer without question, That nothing of this is to be done. Now if this be manifest in a Salvage, without the benefit of Education, how much more may it be concluded, of men well educated· and living in mutual Conversation? Then, added the holy man, it follows, that God has not left so many Ages destitute of Knowledge, as your Bonza's have pretended. By this he gave them to understand, that the Law of Nature was a step, which led them insensibly to the Christian Law: And that a man who liv'd morally well, shou'd never fail of arriving to the knowledge of the Faith, by ways best known to Almighty God; that is to say, before his death, God wou'd either send some Preacher to him, or illuminate his Mind by some immediate Revelation. These Reasons, which the Fathers of the Church have often us'd on like occasions, gave such satisfaction to the Pagans, that they found no farther difficulty in that point, which had given them so much trouble.

Abdullah II of Jordan and the Hashemites
Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein (Arabic: الملك عبد الله الثاني بن الحسين, al-Malik ʿAbdullāh aṯ-ṯānī bin al-Ḥusayn; born 30 January 1962) is the reigning King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. He ascended the throne on 7 February 1999 upon the death of his father King Hussein. King Abdullah, whose mother is Princess Muna al-Hussein, is a member of the Hashemite family. Since 1993, Abdullah has been married to Queen Rania of Jordan.
The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a constitutional monarchy with an appointed government. The reigning monarch is the chief executive and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The king exercises his executive authority through the prime ministers and the Council of Ministers, or cabinet. The cabinet, meanwhile, is responsible before the democratically elected House of Deputies which, along with the House of Notables (Senate), constitutes the legislative branch of the government. The judicial branch is an independent branch of the government.
In 2010, king Abdullah II was chosen as the fourth most influential Muslim in the world.
he roots of the Hashemite Family reach back to the Prophet Abraham and his son, Ishmael. In the 5th century AD, an Arab leader named Qusai Bin Kilab, of the tribe of Quraysh, descendants of Ishmael, assumed power in the city of Mecca. Even before the Islamic era, Mecca was a center of international trade and the spiritual capital of the region. Qusai was the first of many Hashemites to rule the holy city. He forged an annual pact between warring tribes to ease the passage of pilgrims and protect caravans, a contract which was the first of its kind and marked a new era for both the city and Arab society.
The Hashemite name is derived from Hashem, a grandson of Qusai and the great-grandfather of the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him). The Hashemites of Jordan are thus direct descendants of the Prophet through his daughter, Fatima, and her husband, Ali.
The Abbasids, Islamic caliphs from the 8th to 13th century AD, were also of Hashemite lineage. During the Abbasid Empire, the Hashemites were revered as tribal chiefs in the Arabian Peninsula, known for resolving disputes and mediating between clans. When the Abbasid Empire collapsed, the Hashemite family remained as tribal leaders in their home region of the Hijaz (the east coast of the Red Sea) and as emirs in the holy city of Mecca, which they ruled into the 20th century.
Sharif Hussein and the Arab Revolt
Sharif Hussein Bin Ali, well known as the leader of the Great Arab Revolt and the Sharif of Mecca, was born in Ottoman Istanbul in 1853. Though well acquainted with imperial politics, Sharif Hussein spent a significant portion of his life among the bedouin Arabs of the Hijaz, immersing himself in the political life of Arabia. In 1908, the Ottomans, recognising his influence in the region, appointed him Emir (Prince) of Mecca.
As Ottoman policies grew more oppressive after the coup of the "Young Turks," Sharif Hussein earned support among Arabs by opposing Istanbul's totalistic policies in the Hijaz. Some historians say that, even then, he was preparing for Arab independence. Indeed, the idea that the Arabic-speaking people were a nation, deserving of independent recognition, is often thought to have originated with Sharif Hussein.
In 1916, Sharif Hussein allied the Arabs with British forces, leading, along with his sons, Abdullah and Faisal, numerous tribes from the Hijaz in a revolt that liberated the Levant from Ottoman control. Bearing the Hashemite name and tradition of the Aal Al Bayt, Sharif Hussein was the central figure in the revolt, earning the title, "King of the Arabs." After this victory, however, European powers failed to honour their commitment to support Arab sovereignty and instead, installed colonial rule throughout the Levant.
Sharif Hussein died in Amman in 1931.
King Abdullah I and the Founding of Jordan
The first king and founder of the state of Jordan was born in 1882 in Mecca. Like his father, Abdullah began life as a representative of the Ottoman court but his prestigious education and exposure to Arab tribal customs soon made him aware of the growing nationalist sentiment among his people.
In the Arab Revolt, Abdullah led several Arab battalions against the Ottoman Turks. Afterwards, he left the Hijaz and settled in Maan, where he was received as a leader and sharif. While the European governments were dividing the region among themselves, Abdullah was building support and unity among the tribes and townspeople of Jordan.
The future king led a modest existence, often staying with leaders of different sects and sectors of society, developing relationships with them. He spent much of his time amongst the local bedouin tribes. In 1921, he organised his first government in Amman, thus establishing the Emirate of Transjordan.

Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Emir of Kuwait
Sabah IV Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (Arabic: صباح الأحمد الجابر الصباح Ṣabāḥ al-'Aḥmad al-Jābir aṣ-Ṣabāḥ; born 16 June 1929) is the Emir of Kuwait. Sheikh Sabah was sworn in on 29 January 2006 after confirmation by the National Assembly of Kuwait. He succeeded Jaber III al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, who was the Emir and thirteenth Sheikh of Kuwait, serving from 31 December 1977 until his death on 15 January 2006. Sheikh Sabah is the fourth son of Emir Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. He is the head of the ruling House of Sabah family.
Kuwait, officially the State of Kuwait i/kuːˈweɪt/ (Arabic: دولة الكويت Dawlat al-Kuwayt ), is a sovereign Arab state situated in the north-east of the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia. It lies on the north-western shore of the Persian Gulf and is bordered by Saudi Arabia to the south (at Khafji) and Iraq to the north (at Basra). The name Kuwait is derived from the Arabic أكوات ākwāt, the plural of كوت kūt, meaning "fortress built near water". The country covers an area of 17,820 square kilometers (6,880 square miles) and has a population of about 3.5 million.
Kuwait is a constitutional monarchy and has the oldest directly elected parliament among the Arab states of the Persian Gulf. Currently the country is under the reign of the Al Sabah family. The head of state is the Emir or Sheikh, a hereditary office.
The Emir of Kuwait can dissolve the National Assembly and call a national election, or in cases of national emergency can dismiss the National Assembly outright and assume supreme authority over the country. The Emir is the commander in chief of Kuwait's armed forces. The Emir has authority to grant pardon from the death penalty or prison.

Justin Bieber has been involved in yet another car accident on Tuesday, according to Billboard and other sources; but, this time, one of the differences is that the Biebs did not cause the accident. He was not driving, but was reportedly in the back seat of a black Chevy Escalade and was being chauffeured by an unnamed individual.
The black Escalade that Justin Bieber, 20, was a passenger in was reportedly ran into by a BMW. The incident happened on Wednesday as the Escalade was trying to ditch pursuing paparazzo, and was travelling along Canon Drive when a BMW leaving a parking lot in Beverly Hills near the vicinity of the popular Bouchon restaurant pulled out and hit the back door of the luxury SUV.
Though it is never fun to be involved in a car accident, the good news for Justin Bieber is that this time, he was not the one at fault, like he allegedly was when he was arrested in Miami Beach and charged both with a DUI and Resisting Arrest, back in January of this year. He will face the DUI charges on July 7, 2014.
A spokesperson for the Beverly Hills Police Department, speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, stated that nobody was injured in the accident, and added that "no charges were filed."
A police officer who responded and was at the scene shortly after the accident was not able to confirm that Justin Bieber had been in the car, but he said that "there was a vehicle that was possibly connected to him" that was involved in the incident.
According to She Knows.com and eyewitness sources, Justin Bieber got out of the black Chevy Escalade, got into another vehicle, and left the scene after the minor crash. If so, that was probably why the police officer did not see the Biebster in the SUV.
Another occasion when Justin Bieber was involved in a minor car accident was in August 2011. Then, the Canadian-born singer was at the wheel of his Ferrari. The minor incident occurred in an underground parking lot, when Justin's car hit another vehicle. The LAPD did not file a report, as the accident seemed to be a very minor one.
Many famous celebrities have had run-ins with the paparazzi, who have been called too aggressive in the pursuit of getting stories and photos. While most of the paps are not like that, and are just trying to earn an honest dollar like everyone else, some of them have endangered the very lives of the celebs they pursue by their reckless behavior. These members of the paparazzi are likened to celebrity stalkers, and they have given their fellow members of the media a bad name.
Justin Bieber suffered no injuries when the black Escalade he was a passenger in was struck by a BMW while trying to evade the paps, and fortunately, nobody else was hurt. No charges were filed, so — though the Biebs was involved in yet another car accident, it was not one that he was responsible for, or which will further add to his legal problems. Bieber's Escalade got a few dings and scratches on it, but it was otherwise not damaged due to the accident.

Smoothest Mutual Funds Offer Stability in Volatile Times
Andrew Leckey
Volatility, the traditional enemy of conservative investors, has mounted a strong challenge to their confidence level in 2011.
The bright side of the topsy-turvy situation, if there is one, is that it has added to the luster of smooth-performing investments. While such careful choices won't be leaders in hot markets, they provide a desirable safety net in downturns.
Basically, they are the least likely to surprise you or to lose your money.
"The benefit of this market volatility is that investors now understand when they invest in stocks that it is important to look to high-quality stock names paying dividends," said
There's more "horsepower" available to all investors today than even five years ago, said Wright. The proliferation of index funds and many other investment strategies provides the investor with a level of psychological comfort based on exactly "how he or she is wired," said Wright. The right mix is there somewhere.
"Conservative balanced (stock and bond) funds hold up well during periods of volatility," said
Strong balance sheets of companies whose stock a fund owns pay off in bear markets.

The focus is on a portfolio of dividend-paying stocks and fixed income securities. That no-load fund requires an initial
In a robust stock market these funds won't perform dramatically because "there's no free lunch out there," Tjornehoj said. In fact, it is nearly impossible to find any investment that provides the strongest long-term return with low volatility, he said. But more than ever before, investors must resist the allure of overly focused funds.
"Five years ago there weren't as many flavors of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) available, and I think these ETFs have become a big distraction for some investors," he warned. "A lot of ETF strategies in extremely specific niches have done well this year, but to extrapolate that into long-term performance is hazardous."

Our Association sometimes finds itself in the middle of an issue on which we have many members on both sides. That is case with one of the new regulations the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission proposed at its June, 2013 meeting relating to tarpon fishing, which applies particularly during the spawn in Boca Grande Pass. We want our members to be informed and understand how and why CCA Florida formulates its positions on these issues.
Differing methods of fishing for tarpon in Boca Grande Pass have engendered impassioned feelings and emotions for decades now. Over 10 years ago, the FWCC commissioned a study to see if there was a difference in release mortality between tarpon caught in the old, traditional method – using live bait – and those caught using jigs. That study, which was peer reviewed, concluded that there is no significant difference in release mortality between the 2 methods. On the basis of that study – which remains the only such study of which we are aware – CCA Florida adopted the position that no additional regulations governing methods of fishing for tarpon were warranted.
That study has now been discredited to some degree – completely so in the view of some. If one assumes that the study was flawed, that does not mean that the opposite conclusion is now true – it means that we are back to having no study that establishes anything. Nonetheless, the FWCC has decided to propose some new rules for tarpon fishing. CCA Florida supported the new rule making tarpon a catch and release fishery, and we are in complete support of the proposed rule prohibiting the snagging of tarpon (although our position is that only the intentional snagging of tarpon should be prohibited as every angler unintentionally foul hooks/snags a fish at some point).
The last proposed rule would limit the use of bottom weighted jigs while fishing for tarpon, which is a popular method used during the spawn in Boca Grande Pass. CCA Florida's Government Relations Committee – which is made up of 45 members from across our entire State – voted unanimously not to support this new rule – the entire rationale in doing so is that there simply is no scientific evidence demonstrating a need for the new rule. Insisting that the management of our fisheries be pursued using credible science has served us well, and the charged emotions involved in the Boca Grande tarpon fishery are no basis for us to change that approach.

This Discharge Certificate was in my grandmother's papers when she died. I found them with the family photo's she had. It is of her father William George Dennie. From this form however I was able to in later years go on line and find that his Particulars of Recruit, draft paper was available on the National Archives web site along with this page. Which I down loaded to round out my files more. As I have said earlier, family history tells us that he lied about his age to join and I have found him in the 1901 Canadian Census only months old at the time, which would confirm that the June 1899 birthday listed on this form is false. *As I have already noted on these previous blogs I have since found proof that he was born in 1899 and that his mother was Maria Chappell and not Sarah Walker as I previously believed. Updated Dec 12, 2016 by the author of the blog - John Goodwin*
While on line at the Archives I learned that you could also order the complete military record for the Soldiers listed. So within the year I had gotten a credit card and ordered the package. It arrived and in a large manila envelope and I was eager to open it. Inside was a number of documents; all about my Great Grandfather and his service. It contains records of service, pay and health. It is all very interesting, I even found info. on the ship he returned to Canada on and looked it up on line, finding a picture of it. Below is the copy of the record. I would encourage anyone who had a relative that served to look into obtaining a copy of the record for themselves.
The proceedings of discharge paper. It list the reason for discharge as "demobilization", the war was over. Confirmation stamped Nov. 5, 1919. at the top right it reads that he embarked at South Hampton on Nov. 8, 1919 aboard the R.M.S. Royal George.
The picture reads at the bottom 'Conard "R.M.S. Royal George" at Avonmouth, Bristol.'
Form R122 above.
Casualty Form list him as Rank - 'Dapper' and qualified as a driver & Electrical Engineer.
Back portion of the Casualty Form above.
The Medical history Form of Great Grandpa Dennie. A physical description to round out the black & white photo's I have.
Dental form for Demobilization.
The Dental History Sheet.
This is more then half the paperwork from the file. I will upload the rest of the file on another Military Monday coming soon. For now though this should be enough to help start the juices flowing and to 'Remember When...'

That the yet-unannounced Asus Transformer Prime is to be powered by the quad-core Tegra 3 chip is not a secret. After all, that set of internal shots that the FCC provided revealed that it was no other than NVIDIA's Kal-El ticking inside the device. What is not that certain, however, is whether Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich will be the Android version of choice that will come pre-loaded onto the tablet at its launch.
According to Asus Germany, the Transformer Prime is to ship with Honeycomb with an update to ICS scheduled for later on, but the guys at DigiTimes are suggesting otherwise. Intelligence provided by "sources from upstream supply chain" indicates that Android 4.0 will indeed come out of the box, and Google is currently assisting Asus in making that possible. Interestingly, the sources also mention that the tablet's release has been "postponed" to a date in December, which is somewhat dubious of a statement since an official release date for the Transformer Prime has never been announced in the first place.
Of course, as the case is with every bit of news coming from DigiTimes, the rumor above should be taken with a pinch of salt until a trustworthy statement comes along. We are expecting to know more on the matter pretty soon as the Asus Transformer Prime release date is likely to be unveiled by the company at an official event tomorrow, November 9.

5 octaves. What more needs to be said?
I suppose we could mention that he's an award-winning songwriter. And arranger. Or the fact that he's a visual artist, a writer, and a comedian who dazzles audiences with his wit as much as his voice.
And yes, his voice does stun fans and critics alike. He showcases his jaw-dropping range with amazing versatility and dexterity. From rumbling, grooving vocal bass lines to country crooning to soaring pop leads, Tim does it all.
His solo album, The Best That I Could Do, which was written and recorded at Flying Pig Productions in Orange County, California, was met with rave reviews. It features Tim's signature humor as well as poignant lyrics and of course stellar vocals.
In 2011, Tim joined Home Free and helped lead them to a victory on NBC's The Sing-Off and secured them a record deal. Along side his bandmates, he has since collaborated with icons like Kenny Rogers, The Oak Ridge Boys and Charlie Daniels, debuted at The Grand Ole Opry and been inducted into the Country Music Association. Home Free has three albums, all of which heavily feature Tim and his compositions.
Tim's work can also be heard on numerous albums by other artists including Rockapella, Ball in the House, Blue Jupiter and many more.
Tim continues to write and arrange music for himself and others. Be sure to check the calendar for performances, and stay tuned for more!

James spent a long time , removing the flakey original VW under-seal , and ZIP wheeling back to bare metal . We brushed on several coats of etch primer and then applied a few coats of stone-chip , that we then painted with 2K gloss black . Hopefully this should keep the floor-pan intact for another couple of years .

In pictures: Holi, the festival of colours
Images as Indians celebrate Holi, the Hindu festival of colours.
Indians are celebrating Holi, the Hindu festival of colours which comes at the end of the winter season and marks the beginning of spring.
The festival also symbolises a new beginning for Hindus to end conflicts and let go of emotional impurities from the past.
On the day of Holi, people throw coloured powder and liquids at each other. No one is spared from the festivities.
Holi commemorates the story of Prahlada, a young boy and devoted follower of the Hindu god Vishnu.
Holi has become popular across South Asia but festivities are particularly riotous in India. A common greeting during this time is "Happy Holi".
Holi is also hugely popular with the young. Children have fallen ill in previous years due to allergic reactions to the coloured powder and water.
Water-based commercial pigments are now being increasingly used in the manufacturing of coloured powder, in place of traditional plant-derived colours such as turmeric.
Overall, Holi is one of the most spirited and beloved festivals of the Hindu calendar.
Close to 1,000 widows living in India's holy city of Vrindavan broke tradition by celebrating Holi with colours. They only sprinkled flower petals over each other in previous years.
The festival is also widely celebrated in Nepal, which has a large Hindu population.

Megadeth Recruit Willie Nelson for Collaboration?
Country music legend Willie Nelson is always up for a collaboration, but this one takes the cake. The 79-year-old music icon recently ran into Dave Mustaine -- the frontman for the thrash metal band Megadeth -- at a restaurant in Texas, leading to the metal guitarist suggest a guest appearance for Nelson on the group's upcoming album.
Megadeth have been working on a new project titled 'Super Collider,' and on March 28 Mustaine bumped into Nelson in Austin, where the singer lives and the metal guitarist was apparently house hunting. Also present was Mustaine's friend, outlandish conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, pictured with Mustaine and Nelson above.
"Willie Nelson is in the restaurant I am eating at. I just met him! How cool is this???" Mustaine posted to Twitter. A few minutes later he added, "I'm talking to Willie about a guest appearance on 'The Blackest Crow.'"
If that seems like an unlikely pairing, it might not be quite as strange as it first appears. Mustaine -- who was a member of Metallica before forming Megadeth -- recently told Shockwaves on Hard Radio that 'The Blackest Crow' will feature him playing slide guitar, which he used to do in a band prior to Metallica.
"The slide guitar is something that I played a long time ago when I was in Panic and I never got a chance to use it in Metallica, 'cause we just weren't doing that, but I did have Southern influences ... because I was a Skynyrd fan," he noted (quote via Ultimate Guitar). "I mean, I wasn't a dyed-in-the-wool, bell-bottom-wearing Southern guy, but I liked their music and I really dug the brawniness of their music. So, yeah, I do like Southern rock."
If Nelson's appearance on 'The Blackest Crow' doesn't work out, maybe the pair can get together and write a new song together. Suggested title: 'Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When We All Die.'

I love cheese, you love cheese, we all love cheese. So which ones fit best into our healthy choices??
There are hundreds of types of cheese, but the 3 most common types are:
Soft cheese – ex. Mozzarella
Semi soft cheese – ex. Blue cheese
Hard cheese – ex. Cheddar and Swiss cheese
Cheese is a great replacement for meat, and if you want a light snack at any time, a 1 oz wedge of cheese supplies you the same amount of nutrients as a 12 oz glass of milk. The casein of cheese contains all the essential amino acids, and cheese contains a high amount of vitamin A and D, as well as calcium.
The downside of cheese is… the high salt content, which is essential to cheese making, and some kinds of cheese have relatively high fat. Cheddar cheese, which is one of the most popular types of cheese in the world, can have a fat content of up to 30%.
If you are watching your weight, than cheese is not something to go overboard with, as cheese is pretty heavy in calorie content. A 1oz wedge of Cheddar cheese has 120 calories, while a 3.5 oz wedge will add 400 calories to your daily calorie intake.
So, as you can see, although cheese is a useful and nutritious snack for busy lifestyles, eating more than a few slices of cheese will contribute dramatically to your total calorie intake. Consume in moderation!
Here are the basic calories and fat content in some of the more common cheeses:
For 1 ounce…
CALORIES FAT (in grams)
- Cheddar 120 10
- Swiss 105 7.1
- Mozzarella 79 6
- Cream 100 10
- Cottage 29 1.4
- Goat 76 6
- Blue 120 12
- Feta 80 6
- Brie 90 10
- Parmesan 111 7
When looking at these comparisons, remember that we often consume more than just the 1 oz standard serving size of cheese. Especially the softer ones that we spread on crackers and bread. The harder cheeses generally have a stronger flavor so we can get away a smaller portion size and still feel satisfied. The best snacks choices would be string cheese (already portion controlled) and cottage cheese (highest in protein). All said and done, moderation is better than deprivation.
