The Founder of Palelai Buddhist Temple
Phrakhru Prakassa Dhammakhun (Luang Phor),
Late Founder, Wat Palelai
Phrakru Prakassa Dhammakhun (fondly known as Luang Phor – Venerable Father) was born on 6th April 1923 in Buriram province, Thailand. He undertook novice ordination in the Sangha at the age of 16 and received higher ordination in 1943. He started his missionary work upon completing his studies at the Mahamakut Buddhist University in Thailand. This took him to the Southern provinces of Thailand (Songkhla) and the Northern parts of the Malaysian peninsula. He first arrived in Singapore in 1960 and took up residence at Wat Ananda Metyarama in Jalan Bukit Merah.
As part of his deep desire to spread the Buddha's teachings to Singaporeans, the late Venerable decided to found a temple of his own. This marked the beginning of the Palelai Buddhist Temple in Singapore. It was on 3rd April 1962 that Luang Phor and another Thai monk founded our temple. The temple was first housed at Poh Huat Road. One year later, on 20th April 1963, it was formally registered as a society with the Registrar of Societies, Singapore.
Over the course of time, Palelai moved to larger premises in order to accommodate the growing numbers of members and devotees. It was first moved to No. 9 Jalan Nipah and subsequently to our present location at 49 Bedok Walk. Under the guidance of Luang Phor, events of the Buddhist calendar were celebrated regularly. The Sunday Dhamma classes and Tuesday meditation sessions were also conducted regularly for members and devotees. In addition, the temple helped to propagate Dhamma by inviting visiting monks to give Dhamma talks, holding meditation sessions, and printing Dhamma books for free distribution. In the midst of all these activities, the temple also managed to discharge its social responsibilities by organising visits and making donations to welfare/charity organisations.
Luang Phor was a generous and caring Bhikkhu who strongly believed in academic and religious education. His generous nature had led him to build a school for the poor in Buriram province, his home province in Thailand. In 1988, He also sponsored the building of a temple in Buriram province and named it Wat Bodhidhammakunaram. He had lived up to the Lord Buddha's injunction to his first disciples: "to spread the teachings for the sake of the many, out of compassion for the good and welfare of the many".
Luang Phor passed away on 22nd December 1996 in Bangkok, Thailand.
In view of the generosity of Luang Phor and out of gratitude for his kindness to Singaporeans, a Bursary Award was established by the Executive Committee of Palelai Buddhist Temple in his name. It is our aim that through our activities, we will continue to spread Lord Buddha's teachings of peace and benevolence to all living beings and help to ensure that Luang Phor's mission will continue for many generations to come. This is best done by our continued practice of Lord Buddha's teachings and encouraging others to walk that same path.
We also have a memorial hall dedicated to him at our temple.

Business Results 1 - 7 of 35
In order to remain healthy and to have a clean property that supports your healthy lifestyle, you need to consider pest control. This aspect is vital especially if you have a starting business (restaurant, box store etc.), but also if you want to maintain a certain standard in your home. Through prevention you can make sure your family and business are protected against dangerous diseases and other pest related problems.
The idea of pest control Wasp Removal Newman CA is not new at all and, according to some researchers, the oldest types of chemical controls were used in agriculture and were registered almost 4,500 years ago. Among the most popular pests found on the black list we have insects, but also raccoons, birds or squirrels. You should always search for prevention methods against ants, rodents, mites, spiders, bedbugs or cockroaches because these are more spread. In what concerns the larger animals, among them Newman CA we include rats and mice. These animals will pick their nest in the places where they can find water, food and shelter. When doing an inspection of the house, you should be on the lookout for places that have openings or holes that permit access into your home.
The problem
After you figure out what security flaws have caused your pest issues, you need to discover the insects or animals that represent the big problem. Once Rodent Control Newman CA you have done that, you can decide on the method to be used against them. For instance, if you want to get rid of termites or roaches, go with the chemical method. This will have a great effect on roaches and some of these chemicals will have effect on the termites too. However, there might be moments in which termites resist chemicals and need stronger tools in order to be eliminated.
Expert help
An expert can Newman CA be of great assistance because he multiple methods to resolve the situation. First of all, he can use baits (woods, cardboard with chemicals) which will get transported back into the colony and poison the whole "family". Secondly, there are the repellents that are widely used in order to discourage the termites from getting in and ruining everything. In case the infestation has already begun and the exterminator discovers the damage, he can use special Newman CA substances to annihilate the termites.
Commercial uses
Unfortunately, the commercial structures have to face rats and mice infestation most often. They appear more in urban locations because the rodents follow the trail of food left by people. For humans, this is garbage but for rodents this is a true buffet. Make sure you protect your house from rodents because they can carry more than 35 dangerous diseases. In case you discover the presence of rodents, start Newman CA looking for cracks that have allowed their access inside. Identify the holes and cover the as soon as possible. Infestations can be avoided and eliminated with the help of professionally designed traps and baits that will affect only rodents and not people.

(May 29, 2014) — The Humane Society Legislative Fund, the nation's leading political advocacy organization for animal welfare, announces its endorsement of Thad Cochran for reelection to the U.S. Senate. Citing his leadership and support of mainstream animal welfare policies, HSLF urges Mississippi voters to support Cochran in the June 3 primary election.
"In his leadership positions on the key committees, Senator Cochran has helped to strengthen the nation's animal welfare laws and make sure they are properly enforced," said HSLF President Michael Markarian. "We urge Mississippi voters to elect Cochran to a seventh term."
As the Ranking Member on the Senate Agriculture Committee, Cochran helped to pass legislation in the 2014 Farm Bill strengthening the federal animal fighting law, making it a crime to attend or bring a child to an animal fight. He also voted in favor of a similar amendment on the Senate floor in 2012.
When he was the Ranking Member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Cochran supported funding for the enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act, Horse Protection Act, Humane Methods of Slaughter Act and the federal animal fighting law, as well as programs to address the needs of animals in disasters and to ease a shortage of veterinarians in rural areas and in the USDA through student loan repayment.
Cochran also helped to include committee report language in the Agriculture Appropriations Bill directing USDA to study Controlled Atmosphere Stunning, in which a mixture of gasses can be used to render poultry unconscious before slaughter. This technology is considered more humane than the method that requires workers to shackle conscious birds by a leg and hang them upside down to be dunked in electrified water.

We started discussing such additions to CSS in 1997 in a document (BECSS) authored by Netscape, Microsoft and Electricité de France... In the meantime, Mozilla and XBL have easily proven the total inocuity of a 'binding' property added to the knowledge of the local CSS parser, and the feasability of an XBL engine added aside to a CSS style engone. After all these years, CSS is nowadays the undisputed stylesheet language on the web because it's at the same time extremely simple to learn and powerful enough to meet the exacting needs of web designers. Ah, yes, of course, a 'binding' is not stylistic... Why should that new property live under the text/css mimetype ?!? That old argument again that people being more royalist than the Queen Elizabeth herself always use. First, conceptual purity has been a blocker in this behavioural world for nine years and has not been able to even reach the beginning of a plausible solution for bindings on the web ; on the contrary, adding the 'binding' property is doable immediately and offers simplicity and backwards-compatibility at a very cheap price. Second, MIME types are... well... let's say counter-productive. In the name of MIME purity, and I have been working on MIME since the early days of Borenstein's proposal, aggregation and extensibility of interpreted data has often been trampled underfoot, in total contradiction with user's needs and expectations. So as soon as conformance to the CSS spec does not imply mandatory implementation or even parsing of this property and that pseudo, and it doesn't, I urge everyone to accept the proposed solution. It's HIGHLY time to move on, and the last nine years were not enough for the smartest W3C members to bring a better and simpler solution on the table. Here's my word: let's try it. </Daniel>Received on Monday, 14 August 2006 08:59:19 UTC

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a serious health condition. It is known as silent killer because it shows no symptoms and often, not a single thing is felt while damage to cardiovascular system is increased. With the passage of time, damage to blood vessel is caused leading heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, and other problems. Hypertension could go unnoticed and untreated, for years, if not get checked regularly. Normalizing the rate of blood pressure is one of the important things. Ever wonder how to reduce high blood pressure? Since, food plays an important role in high or low rate of blood pressure, dietary recommendations should be properly followed. Dietary recommendations include reducing the intake of fat, sodium and alcohol and eating more foods which are rich in potassium, calcium and magnesium.
Here are some best foods which can be eaten to lower high blood pressure quickly.
Leafy green
Foods which are rich in potassium give you a better ratio of potassium to sodium. This causes your kidneys to get rid of more sodium through your urine, thus, lowering your blood pressure. Examples of leafy greens may include romaine lettuce, arugula, kale, turnip greens, collard greens, and spinach. Choose for fresh or frozen greens because canned ones often contain added sodium.
Fat-free plain yogurt
One cup of fat-free plain yogurt contains 49% of the calcium, 12% of the magnesium and 18% of the potassium that you need every day. You can control the fat levels and nutrient content in your body by making your own yogurt at home for your high blood pressure diet.
Did you know garlic was not used for cooking in past?
Throughout history, garlic was mainly used for health and medicinal purposes. When a garlic clove is crushed, chopped or chewed, Allicin, a sulphur compound, is formed. Allicin is an active ingredient in garlic. Several human studies have shown that intake of garlic significantly lowers elevated blood pressure. Since, garlic reduces low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol by 10-15 percent, adding more to your diet is an absolute necessity. These results have been seen with supplementation of 600-1,200 milligrams per day which is equal to eating at least two garlic cloves daily.
Skim milk
As mentioned earlier, increasing the amount of calcium-rich foods that you eat lowers elevated blood pressure. Skim milk is a major source of calcium and is usually low in fat. Both of which are important elements of a diet for lowering the rate of blood pressure. Prefer using skim milk to higher-fat milk or if you don't go for milk, eat more low-fat yogurt. But make sure to avoid yogurt that is high in sugar.
Tree nuts—not to be confused with peanuts, which come from the ground, are associated with many metabolic health benefits. Almonds and cashews are really helpful, particularly when it comes to metabolic health issues such as high blood pressure.
Almonds and Cashews, being rich in magnesium makes them so influential. Magnesium being an essential mineral is involved in over 300 bodily process. One of major causes of blood pressure complications includes a lack of magnesium in the diet. While replacing that lack of magnesium plays an important role in lowering high blood pressure.
Traditionally from China, green tea consists of powerful compounds and antioxidants unlike any other food. Green tea consists of polyphenols which make it quite beneficial. Catechin, a particular green tea polyphenol, has shown to improve blood flow and blood pressure.
Major studies on green tea confirmed that two cups per day (500 milliliters) can increase arterial diameter by up to 40 percent. This helps in increased blood flow, reducing pressure, just as wider pipes will increase water flow. Regular green tea consumers have up to 31 percent lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
Extra-virgin olive oil
Olive oil, probably the healthiest oil in the world, is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and phenolic antioxidants. "Extra-virgin" olive oil, being least processed form of olive oil, has the highest levels of beneficial components. The cardiovascular benefits of olive oil include reduced heart attacks, strokes, and death by a whopping 30 percent.
Pertaining to above discussion, olive oil is a great food for lowering blood pressure.
Besides diet, there are many other factors that influence blood pressure too. These include physical activity, adequate sleep, sun exposure, meditation, and other stress-management practices. However, the majority of these are associated to diet. Your nutrition intake is certainly the most influential factor. If you're struggling to manage it without pharmaceutical drugs, you will find many natural foods that are quite helpful in lowering your blood pressure.

Two comments today on St Margaret's play area. First a resident congratulating the Parish Council on getting such a brilliant refurbishment of the park. She thought it wonderful and is really thrilled that her daughter has such a good park to go and play in. Later in the day came a message from a resident near the park - why does the enforcement van patrol the area at 5.25pm when everyone's home having their tea, but not come out at night when there is a problem? I have asked the same question of the enforcement team and I await the answer with interest.
Meanwhile a couple of hours of sorting through papers left in piles since May has nicely filled a blue bag!
A little stint in the garden produced a bowl of luscious cherries just crying out to be eaten. The ripe morello cherries cooked down well with some brambles and apple for pudding tonight, and the last of the raspberries will be eaten tomorrow - I do love harvesting at this time of year.

My inspiration for this craft came from a very popular indoor sand play table at the Children's Discovery Museum in Acton. The table has a light underneath and is roughly the size of three serving trays. I wanted a way for my kids to have a similar experience at home, and thought using food would be a good idea since my 10-month-old still puts everything in his mouth.
- Serving tray (I got mine for $1.99 at Ikea)
- Coarsely ground flour. Rice flour works well because it absorbs moisture more slowly, but I combined the rice flour with corn meal to give it more color. A really coarse grain like Scottish/Irish oatmeal works well too.
- Child-safe silverware for making patterns (I got place settings for six for $1.99, again at Ikea)
3) Time to play!

Lately I've been noticing girls with hair dyed a deep, unnatural red popping up on street style blogs.
Photo sources: Dropsnap.jp, The Fashionist, Style Sightings, Dropsnap.jp
I have to say, I think it looks really good. It's definitely a statement since the color is clearly straight from a dye bottle, but it's a lot more subtle than, say, neon tresses.
I love how the top two girls styled it in a way that's classic yet modern. A bit of ladylike demeanor, some hints at vintage luxury, and a quirky sense of humor are great companions to the deep red bob. Of course, if you know me at all, then you can be sure that the bottom two girls share my style sensibilities to a greater extent. Whether rocking extremely long (left) or extremely short (right) locks, these girls were sure to don all black to add a nice contrast between hair and clothing. Killer shoes, sleek tight-clad legs, and a pinch of punky attitude finish off the look nicely.
Yeah, I'll probably be taking periodic breaks from my bio-studying to peer at myself in the mirror and contemplate whether it's a good idea to give my dark brown waves a bit of a reddish tint. Something darker than the girls in the photos, mind you, because my vampire-pale skin actually has an olive undertone, but I can't help but wonder whether I should give it a try. Just for fun. Then all I need is those studded boots and the leopard-print coat. . .

Knitting something different for baby
"When a baby is on its way, mothers-to-be can often expect a plethora of knitted presents such as clothes and blankets.
Now one group of women is shaking up the tradition – commissioned by the NHS to knit 150 woollen breasts. The models, made by the Somerset Mothers' Union, are being used to teach techniques for breast feeding – and how to deal with problems such as blocked ducts and mastitis. […]
Knitted breasts have been popular in the US for some time, where groups such as Knitting for Knockers make prosthetics for women hit by breast cancer.
Patterns are available online."

There's a reason—and (hallelujah!) a way to make it stop.
Period pain: It's just something we as women have come to accept, whether it's cramping, lower-back issues, or breast discomfort. But it's the latter—that tenderness, aching and overall feeling of heaviness in our breasts that comes around like clockwork—that really needs an explanation. And, boy, did we get one. (First, Your Menstrual Cycle Phases—Explained!)
That cyclical pain that sets in either right before the onset of a period—or throughout the duration of one—is actually known as fibrocystic breast condition (FBC), and it affects 72 percent of women according to a recent survey, says Lee Shulman, M.D., chief of the division of clinical genetics in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. With it affecting such a high number of ladies, it's surprising that it's rarely talked about—most women have never even heard of it. Here's what you need to know so you can finally get some relief.
What Is It?
FBC—AKA PMS Breasts—comes around like clockwork, and if your period is pretty predictable, Shulman says you're likely able to anticipate the onset of pain. And we're not talking about a slight twinge of discomfort here and there. Shulman says a significant number of women experience debilitating pain, enough so that they have to skip work. A recent survey conducted by Harris Poll on behalf of BioPharmX found that 45 percent of women avoid any sort of physical activity, 44 percent refuse sex, and 22 percent won't even go for a walk. (Related: How Much Pelvic Pain Is Normal for Menstrual Cramps?)
Why It Happens
Natural hormonal changes within your menstrual cycle are most likely the cause of pain, explains Shulman, though it could also be due to hormonal changes happening thanks to your birth control. Those on hormonal contraceptives, like the Pill, vaginal ring, and skin patch, are more likely to be affected than those on non-steroidal and non-hormonal options. (Read up on The Most Common Birth Control Side Effects.)
What to Do
Sadly, that same survey found that 42 percent of women who experience FBC don't do anything about it because they think it's "part of being a woman." Just say no to that line of thinking, because you can find relief. Shulman says that taking over-the-counter (OTC) pain medications, like acetaminophen, either just before the onset of pain (if your cycle is predictable) or right when you start feeling it can help alleviate symptoms (just be sure to follow the dosage directions on the bottle so you're not taking too much). Or you could talk with your ob-gyn about changing your birth control method. "Something non-steroidal and non-hormonal is usually best at reducing breast pain," he says. (This is How to Find the Best Birth Control for You.)
After that, it's about finding what works for you. "Some women respond well to a better-fitting bra, while others find relief by decreasing the amount of caffeine consumption," he explains. "You could also try an OTC molecular iodine supplement, whichresearch has shown can help, especially because the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than 2 billion peopleare iodine-deficient. The supplement is based on the chain mechanism within FBC too, so it goes directly to the cause of the pain to hopefully give you relief faster." If supplements aren't really your thing, though, you could also try boosting your iodine intake by incorporating more seaweed, eggs, and seafood into your diet, as all contain higher levels of the element.
And at the end of the day, Shulman says it's important to remember that FBC is typically only associated with a predictable pain cycle. So if you experience nipple discharge, feel a lump, or notice that the pain has changed in any way (FBC usually feels the same month to month, he says), schedule a visit with your doctor to rule out other issues. (Don't let it be one of the 13 Questions You're Too Embarrassed to Ask Your Ob-Gyn!)

For most of the world the word miracle brings to the mind images of marvellous phenomena occurring with supernatural intervention and involving mystical mysteries, but in India, it is just another daily trend, with miracles- historical, geographical, archaeological, supernatural or natural, happening around everywhere! Almost every monument from history, almost every piece of natural beauty in India is a miracle to behold. One such spectacle of Indian history to ponder over is the hanging pillar at the Veerabhadra Temple in Lepakshi, a small village in Andhra Pradesh, miraculously hidden from the searching but ignorant eyes of travellers.
The hanging pillar in Lepakshi is a medieval architectural wonder to witness. This small village you were most likely to neglect has so much hidden in its treasure chest, you will shocked and amazed!
The small village of Lepakshi in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh is a paragon of excellent art and architecture. Once the quintessence of the ostentatious opulence of the empire of Vijayanagara, Lepakshi is an epitome of magnificence and brilliance. The shrines and temples in the village celebrating the might of Lord Shiva, Vishnu and Veerabhadra, are an exhibition of timeless art, with illustrious frescoes and murals.
Although the village was founded as late as 1538 AD by Maharaja Aliya Rama Raya of the Vijayanagara Empire, it has an interesting association with the Ramayana, and legend says was blessed by the presence of Lord Rama himself. The lore goes that when Lord Rama, met the dying bird Jatayu here, he helped him attain Moksha by saying the words Le Pakshi, which in Telugu means rise bird. Hence, the village got its name Lepakshi!
The most famous temple in the village is the temple of Veerabhadra, famed for its hanging towers. The temple is situated on a tortoise shaped hillock, named Kurma Saila, which is the Telugu phrase for its distinct shape.
The most astonishing architectural marvel of Lepakshi is the Hanging Pillar of Veerabhadra Temple. The pillar does not rest on the ground completely but hangs in the air, with enough space between its base and the ground to pass a sheet of paper or a small twig through it- fully to emerge on the other side! Out of the 70 pillars at the stone temple, which was built in 1583 AD, in the Vijayanagar style of architecture by brothers Virupanna and Veeranna, this particular pillar stands out as a triumphant masterpiece of architecture. The Archaeological Survey of India has proven that this pillar was not constructed as a mistake, but was built intentionally to prove the brilliance of the builders of the time.
The Legend
The pillar was dislodged from its original position by a British engineer who tried to move it in an endeavour to unearth the secret of its support but was sadly unsuccessful. According to legend, Virupanna one of the financiers of the temple was the royal treasurer of the King and was accused by the court nobles of drawing funds from the state treasury to build the temple but without the Kings permission. The nobles poisoned the King that he was funding the grandiose temple to outshine his majesty. Outraged, the King ordered for Virupanna to be blinded. But disturbed by the false accusation and determined to prove his honesty, Virupanna forestalled the punishment by dashing his eyes out and throwing them at the temple wall! And the eerie part- the marks left by his bleeding eyes are still present on the wall!
The Colossal Monolithic Bull!
Another architectural marvel of Lepakshi is the colossal statue of Nandi, Lord Shivas bull. About a mile before the main temple, the statue is Indias second largest monolith after Gomateshwara, standing tall at 27 feet by 15 feet and carved out of a single stone. The structure is famous for its mammoth size and flawlessly proportioned body, and the finely carved ornaments around its neck and in its ears.
Inside the temple, a gargantuan statue of Ganesha is yet another spectacle. And if this was not enough to quench the thirst of art history lovers, the largest Nagalinga in India draws ones attention, with its enormous Naga with three coils and seven hoods forming a canopy over a black granite Shivalingam.
The frescos at the Lepakshi temple are some of the finest specimens of art history in India. The 24 by 14 feet mural of Veerabhadra on the wall of the main sanctum sanctum is the largest fresco in India! The fresco depicting scenes from the wedding ceremony of Lord Shiva and Parvati, popularly known as the Shiva-Parvati Kalyanam is also something to look out for.

Thank you so much for your excellent coverage on Empower Plus and this important turn around.
Likely you will hear from Terry Polevoy, who is blatantly pro-pharmaceuticals who (poorly) wrote a book attacking Empower, Truehope and Dr. Kaplan, whining about your article.
Sour grapes.
His style is to overwhelm agencies and businesses with his criticisms of anything with which he disagrees.
At one point, after he bomboarded a radio station with hundreds of emails attacking a woman with an alternative radio show, her bosses could no longer handle the pressure and she was let go.
He has been suing me for 6 years, and even wrote letters to my attornies in his desperation. He was uncovered on the internet (Usenet) donning the disguise of a woman he called "Vera Teasdale" to augment his attacks against me and others he was suing while this case is being heard in the Supreme Court of California.
Please continue to cover this story and tell the truth.
Anti-science bigots like Polevoy have no place in medicine.

The Kick-Butt Girl Sleuth in 2011: A Rare Fictional Creature
In my library's most recent book orders, there have been a few young adult novels that heavily incorporate a mystery and an investigation of that mystery by the female protagonist. In my constant search for the next literary Veronica Mars, I read each of them--but was generally a little disappointed.
Rosebush by Michele Jaffe. As it's striking cover demonstrates, this particular novel kicks off with a dramatic and mystery image: a few blocks away from a big Memorial Weekend party, popular and pretty Jane is found tangled and unconscious in a rosebush, the apparently the victim of hit and run. As Jane, lying paralyzed in the hospital, attempts to regain her memories of the accident, she begins to understand that the truth--about that night, her friends, her boyfriend, and her past--is much more complicated than she thought. And soon it appears that Jane's accident wasn't an accident at all and everyone in her life is a suspect. Now Jane must unravel the mysteries surrounding her before the killer strikes again. While this novel had a promising premise and great opening image, it was a disappointing reading experience for me. The slow revelations of complexities through flashbacks and the inside view of the pretty, popular clique of girls reminded me a bit of Lauren Oliver's Before I Fall and the setting among the seamy underside of the rich and privileged was reminiscent of Veronica Mars. But frankly, Jane is a less interesting character than either Sam or Veronica and the mystery here has almost too many twists and turns to remain believable. So while I think that Rosebush might be a hit with some of my younger teens who like mysteries featuring the dark side of rich, pretty, and popular cliques, I was left unsatisfied in my quest for a solid teen girl detective.
The Liar Society, a debut novel written by Lisa and Laura Roecker. When Kate gets an email from her best friend Grace, she's shocked and deeply confused--because Grace died a few months ago in a mysterious fire. But when the messages begin to imply that Grace's death was not merely a tragic accident but the result of the tangled conspiracy of secrets filling the hallowed halls of their elite private school, Kate plunges into a dangerous investigation with the help of two new allies: her nerdy neighbor and the cute bad boy from school. Firstly, this novel came much closer to the kind of teen mystery novel I was craving. Kate is much more likable protagonist than Jane and a more effective detective. The mystery was exciting and built well as more and more secrets and clues were revealed as the plot progressed. I'm also a big sucker for secret society tales and this novel fits that bill very nicely. Overall, it was a well-paced and fun mystery; The Liar Society reminded me a bit of both Veronica Mars and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, although it didn't quite reach the level of complexity of either.
The Girl Is Murder is delightful historical mystery by Kathryn Haines Miller set in 1942 New York City featuring plenty of juicy historical details, a solid mystery, and a determined young female detective. 15 year old Iris Anderson never used to lie--not about big things anyway. Then her mother's suicide and her father's return from war missing a leg changed everything. Suddenly, Iris has left her comfortable private school life far behind and entered the very different world of the Lower East Side, where she starts at a public school while her Pop struggles to get his private investigation business going again. Money is tight and Iris knows that Pop could use her help--even if he doesn't know it yet. So when his newest case involves a boy from Iris's school, she decides to do some investigating of her own. Suddenly Iris is lying all the time, inventing identities and excuses as she tails her former private school classmates and sneaks out to Harlem club to dance until 3am. Iris is a stubborn and smart young detective; she makes mistakes of inexperience and arrogance but overall she proves her skills as an beginning investigator. The historical setting is solidly fleshed out with everything from slang to fashion to cultural tensions. However, while both the mystery and the characters' developments are clearly tied to the time period, they remain interesting for a modern audience. Iris is a great candidate to join the ranks of Nancy and Veronica and I hope Kathryn Miller Haines brings her back in at least one sequel so we can watch her investigative skills grow.
Here's hoping that 2012 brings us a new crop of teen mysteries and kick-butt girl sleuths!

A Kitchen Interlude: Sugar Cookie Bars
I run our middle school book club that meets a few times a month and I, of course, provide homemade goodies at each meeting. We had a meeting scheduled for this Tuesday and since I was traveling all day Sunday, I needed something I could make quickly and easily with minimal shopping Monday evening after work. Cookie bars immediately sprung to mind and after surfing around on that most beautiful of time-wasters, Foodgawker, I discovered several similar versions of these basic sugar cookie bars. And they turned out to be the perfect last minute treats!
Sugar Cookie Bars with Basic Buttercream Frosting
Cookie Bars
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
5 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
*based on recipes and directions from Une Gamine dans la Cuisine & lisa is cooking
2.) In one large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
4.) Add the vanilla and mix in.
5.) Add the flour mixture into this batter. I find that it works best to add the flour mixture in small increments (such as a 1/2 cup or so at a time), mixing after each addition.
6.) Spread dough on the pan, making it as even as possible.
8.) Cool completely before frosting
1/2 cup unsalted butter
3-4 tbsp. milk
1.) Mix butter, sugar, and vanilla together until well blended.
2.) Add 2 tbsp. of milk and mix.
3.) Add another tbsp. of milk and mix.
4.) Add a fourth tbsp. of milk only if needed texturally.
5.) Dye the frosting with food coloring if you wish!
3-4 tbsp. milk
1.) Mix butter, sugar, and vanilla together until well blended.
2.) Add 2 tbsp. of milk and mix.
3.) Add another tbsp. of milk and mix.
4.) Add a fourth tbsp. of milk only if needed texturally.
5.) Dye the frosting with food coloring if you wish!
These cookie bars were both simple to create and delicious to eat, making them an ideal party treat!

The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson
Lucero-Elisa de Riqueza is the chosen one--the bearer of the Godstone and marked for special and sacred service. But Elisa is also the younger, less attractive, and more ignored of two princesses. She can't imagine ever doing anything remarkable. Then, on her sixteenth birthday, Elisa becomes the secret wife of a handsome king who is desperate for the political aid and unknown power that Elisa can bring to his tumultuous nation. Now Elisa, who is more comfortable reading religious texts in the library or snacking on pastries in the kitchen, must enter into a new court as her husband's secret ally. The kingdom is on the verge of war and leaders on all sides are very interested in the mystical bearer of the sacred Godstone--including a daring young revolutionary convinced that Elisa can save his people. Soon Elisa has left her sheltered life far behind as she enters into a dangerous adventure full of political intrigue and magical battles. But in order to save a nation and its people, Elisa must learn to understand and use the power deep within herself, risking her life and her heart in process.
The Girl of Fire and Thorns brings us into a rich, new magical world with fully developed cultures and religion. Unlike many other fantasy adventures, this world appears to be physically and culturally inspired by Spanish and Mediterraean societies. Elisa is a wonderful protagonist, whose unique strengths grow and develop visibly as the story enfolds. She is highly intelligent and is a both a skilled military stratagist and a perceptive religious scholar. When the novel begins, she lacks a great deal of self-confidence and has spent much of her life doing very little physical activity and eating when upset or nervous. However, when forced into strenuous physical activity by necessity, Elisa grits her teeth and refuses to give up; as a result, she gains better health, new survival skills, and a more positive attitude towards her body and her abilities.
In The Girl of Fire and Thorns, Carson creates an action-packed story filled with three-dimensional characters and uniquely interesting settings. This novel is definite must-read for fans of Tamora Pierce, Kristin Cashore, and Robin McKinley!

When the pusher returns as a zombie, and knocks off our heroes one by one, their only recourse is to dump the body of one of their recently dead, and have him return as a "good" zombie to face off with the bad one. The Producer's hook for the film was to feature music by groups the likes of The Fleshtones and Los Lobos.

Zoll Medical Corporation v. Respironics, Inc., C.A. No. 12-1778 – LPS, July 8, 2015
Stark, C. J. Plaintiff's motion to lift stay following inter partes review is granted.
The IPR is completed and the PTO confirmed the patentability of all but one of plaintiff's patent claims. Defendant had previously represented that the IPR proceedings would take only 18 months, and no stay pending appeal was requested at that time. The court declines to stay for perhaps another year while an appeal is filed and decided.

QUINCY, Mass. — Al Miranda and Roger Torrey listened to the 11:25 a.m. whistle telling them that they had five minutes to finish lunch and get back to work.
"You're not going to hear that whistle too many more times," Miranda, 59, a machinist at the General Dynamics Corp. shipyard, said in a tone mixed with sadness and bitterness.
The two men, who have worked there for most of their adult lives, are among the last to be laid off. The shipyard's work force, at 6,000 when layoffs began last year, is now less than 1,000.
The 102-year-old yard, which employed 9,200 in 1967 and up to 32,000 during World War II, officially closes Sunday, a victim of the nationwide decline in shipbuilding.

What earrings are best for you?
It's the time of year for most of the award shows - Golden Globes, the SAG awards, the Grammys, the Oscars... and probably more that I'm unaware of. The gowns are the fashion item that garner the most attention, but after those it's the jewelry. Did they choose the best jewelry? Should they have just worn the dress with no necklace? Whatever dress they wear, one piece of jewelry that is always appropriate is earrings. Aren't you glad that people don't scrutinize your jewelry choices that much? (Unless you have a nasty co-worker, boss, or mother.) I'm wondering what kind of earrings will be "in" this year. I've seen a lot of hoops this past year, along with very large earrings. Some are so big I wonder if they're uncomfortable. I mean, how much can a little ear lobe hold?Honestly I don't choose my jewelry by trends, unless it's something I truly love. I wear something that matches my outfit in both color and style. If in doubt I wear silver, since it goes with anything. I don't wear huge earrings anymore, although I do prefer dangles over studs. I started making my own necklaces and earrings a few years ago. I have a shop on Etsy called 405 Creations, and I also get custom requests on my Facebook page. I don't have the equipment to make elaborate earrings or solder metal earrings, or the money for diamonds or other expensive gems, but hopefully someday I will. For now I tend to use Swarovski crystals and some glass beads or pearls.
What are your favorite kinds of earrings? Do you like dangly ones with crystals, bead, or gemstones, or do you prefer just metal? Studs? Have you ever tried ear cuffs? Do share!

People through ancestors of bodies accept been allurement the aforementioned questions about Me. In actuality some Christians absorb books aggravating to get all the answers to the questions, some artlessly go to the Babble of God or they appear to Me direct.
What is that?
Come to Me direct?
Yes that's right. Humans can and do allege to Me. Sometimes humans alarm them prophets, but any getting can allege to Me if they convenance developing their ears.
I adulation mankind, but on avant-garde Television in at atomic the country Australia area Matthew writes from I don't get abundant airplay. In the baby hours of the morning there is chargeless to air Television with Christian programs but who is up amid 3am and 5am in the morning.
I ambition to save the world. I watched Christmas appear and go and saw a lot of humans bless Santa Claus and abounding Christians accomplishing it just as able-bodied as the world. I see Easter and I see the Easter bunny appear bent out and I see Pagan celebrations advantageous the holidays of mine.
But I can not stop arrant actuality in heaven for all the absent that don't apperceive Me. It's the getting that absent their wife who ran off with addition man, that you know, it's that individual women at plan whose bedmate has gone to Bastille for drugs accompanying charges. It's the avant-garde bent who sits in bastille abandoned and not admired by the apple that would agreeably adulation to address anniversary anniversary to a stranger. I adulation them, and I adulation the bigger sinners the a lot of sometimes. Jesus acicular out the tax beneficiary who was in affliction as he came to the temple and asked for My benevolence alive abounding able-bodied he was a sinner.
I cry for the sons of men who accept never heard the one affair that makes sense. That there is a Father in heaven who is not atrocious and who is not judgmental and acrid but who has PERFECT justice. A God that sees every bad affair and keeps account of the bad things humans do until they acknowledge them and ask for mercy. There are so abounding little girls whose fathers are heavily into chicanery and booze who would like to apperceive that I accept apparent what amoroso has done. My son said it would bigger that a man not be built-in afresh to do something to accomplish a little one to stumble.
I am a God of mercy. Some of the affliction vilest sinners accept fell abject in bastille apprehension a afterlife book allurement for my Benevolence that was accepted to them. I took my acrimony out on my Son. My Son's aback was like the arena looks if a plough has been run through it. His aback was in strips and he was afraid naked on a cantankerous in foreground of his own mother.
There has been abounding tears afford by Jesus and I at the absent accompaniment of the apple but the prophets accept prophesied these times. The added "modern" man has become, the added angry he has become. Now we accept accomplished nations that are affluent and accomplished nations that are poor and the third apple is in bullwork in their own countries.
I am a amoroso that weeps for all the accouchement of the world. A little Indian is built-in into a Hindu ancestors and has not generally a adventitious in his apple to even apprehend of Jesus Christ and the Christian religion. How can he apperceive my alternative if humans aren't acknowledging the Indian Apostles and pastors and evangelists?
How does a Chinese Christian abound above a baby ability of Me after owning his own Bible. At this moment 60 actor Bibles are bare in China. Are you traveling to buy them one? How abroad will these churches abound and I be able to accession up abundant pastors to deliver my Babble over there for the advance that I want?
Do I calculation in all your decisions?
I prove I adulation you with my conception and your every breath. I prove adulation exists as you are built-in into a ancestors and into a apple area adulation is known. But so few adulation Me like they could and so few obey Me like they could. It's so sad. There are so abounding humans that are dying after even audition the gospel.
Am I to cry all alone?
Do I cry abandoned for all the women who are getting abused by their men in their homes. Or is it time that your abbey stepped in and helped her get out of a bad bearings that you apperceive she is in. Oh a agitated man can be healed but whenever he controls the bearings he does not generally ambition to be healed..
Do I suffer?
Oh My people. I suffer. I apperceive every individual anticipation a man has in his mind. I not alone saw 9-11 anticipation out, I watched as it came into being. I watched the apple accomplish a big accord out of it and afresh watched men's hearts about-face algid to Me afresh and go to war on terror.
I see the abstruse handshakes that acquiesce chicanery to be listed on the top seek engines on the Internet. I see the Men that get an email from a sex website and who closes his appointment aperture and has some sad fantasy with a adolescent babe he will never know. I see how this affects his wife and I see marriages breakdown because of those emails that arrive.
And as I allege in email agreement let Me be funny with you.
If you anticipate you accept a big workload anniversary day with 30 or 40 emails to accord with. You should see my email box, all the handwritten prayers that are on my arrangement up here. Abounding of the ones you would alarm spam I in fact acknowledgment as this is a getting not of the Christian acceptance allurement for advice and sometimes authoritative Me a promise. Accept you anytime prayed a "get me out of this God and I'll do such and such.."
Some of the prayers abrade Me though.
I see accomplished books become bestsellers on prayer.
What's amiss with the world? Why is aggregate in a book? The best affairs book in the apple sits on its shelf amid Sundays and yet in that book I allocution a little about prayer.
Why can't you just allocution to Me?
What's amiss with accepting a chat?
What's amiss with. "Hi daddy," How are you today?"
Then alert for a anticipation like, "Fine acceptable to apprehend from you today." I said "like" so that if I do acknowledgment you, you can be abiding that I answered but not absolutely in the words that were written.
Let me acquaint you something. A abstruse to alive you are audition from Me.
The aboriginal affair you'll anticipate if I allege to you in a thought, is, "I am authoritative this up"
You've never anticipation that afore accept you? All your activity you've been cerebration things up. Now the aboriginal affair I say to you in a bright book your claiming acclaim for that also?
Satan speaks to humans through demons all the time. Abounding of your thoughts are not even your thoughts. About-face on the TV or accept to avant-garde music afresh you'll apperceive that abounding things appear from the ailing askance angry one.
So overlook about the stress.
Make a addiction of speaking to Me. Converse with Me. Yield time to spell out your thoughts and your acknowledgment and the things on your mind. Apperceive that I apperceive your needs and your thoughts, absolutely I am from the approaching and I already apperceive what you are traveling to say, but be animal with Me.
Would you sit down for coffee with a getting and constitutional on for bisected an hour and not let the added getting to speak? Yield the time to allege to Me and to ask a catechism or two and accept for an answer.
Remember the Babble says that it alone takes the tiny berry of acceptance to move a mountain. Matthew took the footfall years ago and now in the average of the night I acquaint him to yield dictation and blazon my words.
I can advance you by my Spirit. I can advance you by My Word. But I ambition a humans that I can advance like Abraham. I ambition to claiming humans and claiming pastors and absolute humans and advance humans with bright announced direction. I ambition to acceleration up the prophetic in the accustomed people. I admiration added prophets on the face of the earth. I admiration added of my accouchement speaking to Me.
Just relax my people. And allocution to me
I ambition your life. I ambition you to apperceive my adulation and I ambition to allege to you. I am a admiring God and a God that has rules and amends and Mercy. Please appear to Me and advice Me advance the word. If you don't allotment the Babble or actuality with humans get a acceptable book on how to allotment your faith.
Send the third apple Bibles in their won accent and abutment my workers in the their world.
Try and adjure for others added afresh for yourself. Adjure for others and their needs and as I acknowledgment your prayers your acceptance will increase. Adjure for the nations to be accomplished and yield activity yourself and buy some Bibles. Accept a babble with Me and absorb some hours with Me and accessible your hearts to Me and let Me allege to you.
Be blessed

The Environment Agency is statutorily responsible
to Ministers (Defra and National Assembly for Wales) but also
considers itself to be accountable to those whom it regulates,
partners and key stakeholders, such as other authorities with
whom it works, and the public in general for the protection of
the environment. The following mechanisms for accountability are
in place:
1. Statutory Advisory Committees
1.1 The Agency has three statutory committees
for each of its seven regions in England and Environment Agency
Wales (EA Wales). These are Regional Environmental Protection
Committees, Regional Flood Defence Committees and Regional Fisheries,
Conservation, Recreation and Ecology. These statutory committees
meet four times a year and provide advice to the Agency on policy
and delivery aspects. There are over 2,000 members of these committees.
1.2 The Flood Defence committees are executive
and take decisions on budgetary issues such as raising levies
from Local Authority members. All the Agency's regional statutory
committee meetings and the EA Wales equivalents are open to the
public. Papers and minutes of the regional statutory committees
are made available to the public.
1.3 There are also non-statutory advisory
groups such as local Area Environment Groups which give advice
to the Agency's 26 Area Managers and their teams on local issues.
2. Consultation with Public, Industry and
2.1 The Agency consults with the public
and other key stakeholders in relation to its regulatory responsibilities,
for example, applications for licences or variations under various
licensing regimes. Under the Pollution Prevention and Control
regime the stakeholders include local authorities, the Health
and Safety Executive and Primary Care Trusts. As a matter of policy,
the Agency prepares Decision Documents for all Pollution Prevention
Control permitting decisions. These documents are publicly available
and the Agency is required to consider any objections to licences
being awarded.
2.2 For environmental permit applications
that are judged to be contentious locally the Agency adopts an
extended consultation approach often holding public surgeries
or public meetings to enable greater public participation in the
consultation process. This approach goes beyond our statutory
requirements. The Agency also consults stakeholders extensively
on the development of strategies, policies and charging schemes
in accordance with Cabinet Office Guidelines. The Agency works
extensively with trade bodies, non-governmental organisations,
the general public and local, regional, Welsh Assembly and Central
2.3 The Agency consulted on its corporate
strategy, Making it Happen and publishes its corporate plan and
annual report. Many consultation documents on policies and regulatory
issues are available on the Agency's website and at the relevant
local Agency office, libraries and other places open to the public.
2.4 All the Agency's Areas and Regions are
involved in working with communities and groups including farmers,
residents and tenant organisations, river users and small businesses.
This is to engage them on legislative issues such as licensing
through IPPC, EU Groundwater Directive, Water Framework Directive
and important local issues such as reducing fly-tipping, Catchment
Abstraction Management Strategies or the design of flood defences.
2.5 The Agency makes information on the
environment and on its activities widely available on its website.
Many documents are also available for public inspection on the
Agency's public registers and it provides information in accordance
with, and, where resources permit, beyond, the requirements of
the Environmental Information Regulations.
3. Board Meetings in Public
3.1 The Agency has voluntarily been holding
its Board Meetings in public all around the country for the last
three years. Apart from a few confidential papers, all Board papers
and minutes are available to the public on the Agency's web-site.
3.2 The Agency's Annual Reports and "Corporate
Scorecard" are produced for the Board so that the Board can
monitor the performance of the Agency. This important function
of the Board is performed in public. The quarterly report on progress
towards performance targets is available on the Agency's website.
Ministers and Parliament
4. Ministers and Parliament
4.1 The Agency is accountable to Ministers
and through them to Parliament. It is accountable to the National
Assembly for Wales for its activities and expenditure in Wales.
Quarterly review meetings are also held between the Chief Executive,
the Chairman and the Minister.
4.2 The framework within which the Agency
operates is set out in the Management Statement issued by the
Secretary of State for Environment Food and Rural Affairs and
the Welsh Assembly Government. Also the Statutory Guidance on
Objectives and Contributions to Sustainable Development issued
by the Secretary of State for Environment Food and Rural Affairs.
4.3 The Agency was subject to a Financial
Management Policy Review which concluded in March 2002. All recommendations
from this have been or are in the process of being implemented.
4.4 The work of the Agency is often the
subject of scrutiny by select committees of both Houses and by
the National Assembly for Wales. The Agency is also subject to
National Audit Office reviews.
5. Appeals and Actions in the Courts
5.1 The Environment Agency is accountable
to those it regulates via appeals and action in the Courts. In
general, rights of appeal are set out in the relevant notification
of a decision. For Third Parties, information on appeals and complaints
is set out in the Agency's Customer Charter. There is an express
right of appeal on regulatory decisions by the person regulated
to the Secretary of State or, sometimes, a magistrate's court.
Third Parties and, sometimes, operators, can seek a judicial review
of the Agency's decision by the High Court.
5.2 The Agency acts in accordance with its
published Enforcement and Prosecution Policy that contains detailed
guidelines in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors approved
by the Attorney General. Our enforcement and prosecution policy
is subject to extensive consultation and is published on the Agency's
website. Certain regulatory decisions are subject to appeal to
the Secretary of State. Prosecution decisions are a matter for
the criminal courts to determine.
5.3 The statutes under which the Agency
operates do not generally require the Agency to give reasons for
its decisions (although this may change, in respect of certain
decisions, with the implementation of the Aarhus Convention).
However, in accordance with the general principles of administrative
law, and in order to be a fair, open and transparent regulator,
the Agency recognises the need to give reasons for its decisions
where it is reasonable to do so.
6. Financial Accountability
6.1 The financial duties of the Agency are
determined by Ministers with the approval of the Treasury. Since
April 2003 the National Audit Office audits the accounts for the
Agency. A copy of the annual accounts and the report by the auditor
are laid before each House of Parliament each year. Similarly,
a report on its activities is prepared each year by the Agency,
submitted to Ministers and laid by them before each House of Parliament
and published. A separate report on the Agency's activities in
Wales is prepared and submitted to Welsh Assembly Government.
7. Complaints and Ombudsman
7.1 The latest Customer Charter was launched
in July 2003 and explains the standards of service offered to
customers for giving advice and information, responding to incidents,
applications, complaints and commendations. A new complaints and
commendations procedure is to be launched in December 2003. All
Ombudsman Complaints will be co-ordinated through the new post
of the National Complaints and Commendations Manager who will
work in conjunction with Regional Directors to manage such complaints.
7.2 Complaints about flood defence or drainage
can be investigated by the Local Government Ombudsman England
or the Local Government Ombudsman Wales. All other complaints
are handled by the Parliamentary Ombudsman. The Ombudsman cannot
order the Agency to provide a remedy to injustices by a complainant.
However, the Government almost always accepts the Ombudsman's

Over the weekend
ALSO READ: Meet Koffi Olomide's stunning daughter
Last month a footage of the legendary singer physically assaulting a woman in Kenya went viral. Olomide's performance which was scheduled during the 2016 90th Show at the Zambia's Agricultural And Commercial Society, was cancelled following his incorrigible actions at the airport where he beat up the dancer.
After being kicked out of Kenya, the ugly incident followed him to his country of Congo where he was arrested, taken to court and sentenced to a year in prison.
Koffi Olomide actually spent a day behind bars before being secretly let out. The circumstances surrounding his release isn't exactly clear but the fact that the veteran singer is free now clearly sending the wrong message.
There is a video showing the singer assaulting a woman and nothing has been done about it. Koffi Olomide has gotten a slap on the wrist for this heinous crime. In 2016 there shouldn't be any room for anyone who assaults women especially male celebrities.
An apology does not cut it. The Congolese government should send a strong message that it does not condone assault against women. Koffi Olomide should not be spared because he is famous. A statement should be made and a strong one.
ALSO READ: Freeze writes on Koffi Olomide's assault drama
All over the world, gender equality and violence against women are burning topics. African countries should not be left out of the discussion. We have to show the world that we do not tolerate women beaters. With Koffi Olomide back in his mansion with no serious repercussions this shows that as a continent we are not ready to start dealing with these issues seriously.
As a matter of fact with African male celebrity has been sentenced to prison for laying his hands on a woman. All we hear are accusations that are never investigated. Even the mere allegation of domestic violence should be treated as something serious.
On July 26, 2016 I wrote this after Koffi Olomide's ruling "we have swept the issue of male celebrities beating up women in Africa under the rug for too long. These so called stars should be held accountable when they assault women. Celebrity or not, any man who assaults a woman should be punished."
I still stand by this. We look other the way when a popular male celebrity is caught up in any allegation of violence against women but when there is a whisper of a female celebrity sleeping around we call her a whore before finding out the facts.
Koffi Olomide's freedom is wrong because he committed a crime. It's high time issues like this are treated seriously and don't just end up as forgotten links on the Internet.

20th Century Fox has pushed back its planned "Independence Day" sequel by a year. Originally slated for a July 3rd 2015 release, it will now open July 1st 2016.
One upside of the delay is that it allows the studio to milk the fact that it will be out on the 20th anniversary of the original film.
Roland Emmerich has been working on the sequel with co-writer Dean Devlin and "White House Down" writer-producer James Vanderbilt.
At last report, it sounds like Will Smith will not be returning.
