This is the church which stands on the hill overlooking Kersey,Suffolk,U.K. Broadly speaking, the interior can be divided into three parts. The nave is slender and high, a development of an earlier space at the opening of the 15th century. The gorgeous north aisle dates from half a century earlier, a splendid Decorated space before the Black Death made us all serious. The two together make a light, square space bissected by a high, lovely arcade. The chancel is all 19th century.

Barry C. Hawkins
Co-presenting with Ian J. Benjamin, CPA of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP.
In response to the enactment of the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act in most of the United States, the Financial Accounting Standards Board last year promulgated FASB Staff Position No. FAS 117-1. FSP FAS 117-1 provides guidance for nonprofits as to the proper classification of endowment funds when UPMIFA has been enacted and expands the required disclosure about endowment funds.
The replacement of the prior legal restrictions of historic dollar value with the seven articulated standards of prudence set forth in UPMIFA has thrown into some turmoil the rules governing how a nonprofit organization should present its financial condition. It would appear that the requirements of UPMIFA as a state statute and FSP FAS 117-1 as an accounting requirement are in conflict. This program will review these requirements and attempt to provide useful guidance in reconciling the accounting standards and the law, with a particular emphasis on how to report expenditures from so called underwater funds. The program will review the two sets of requirements and help you better understand the similarities and the critical conflicts between UPMIFA and FSP FAS 117-1.

This post will be a little diff than my others in that i am looking for feedback and discussion.
Growing up the thought of paedobaptism vs credobaptism never even crossed my mind. In fact i just assumed it was a catholic practice and had no biblical basis behind it.
With me being married and the thought of kids in the future this subject has now come to the front of my mind.
Is there a place for infant baptism within Christandom? is baptism a replacement of circumsicion in the old testament? What is the scriptural basis for or against?
I have read some of both sides of the argument and must say i have not seen anything on both ends that really gives me a definitive answer.
i know this is a non-essential doctrinal point, and that either view could be right or wrong, but i am basically wanting to breath some life into the blog. and what better way than to bring discussion to it.
I was reading this lecture from Dr. Kim Riddlebarger and he gives a couple of credobaptism (belivers baptism) objections and paedpbaptism responses to those objections.
so far this lecture (along with r.c sproul's sermon)has made teh most sense to me..
here are the objections credobaptist have with infant baptism…
1. "There is a clear command to baptize believers but no command to baptize infants"
2. "The Scriptural order is always believe and then be baptized (see Acts 11:14; 16:15, 31; 18:8; 1 Corinthians 1:16)" [Ryrie, Basic Theology, 423]. According to Nettles, "Every Baptism recorded is a baptism of a professed believer (e.g., Acts 8:12; 35-38)" [Nettles, "Baptists" 22]. "In this infant baptism is expressly contradicted" [Strong, Systematic Theology, 952].
3. "Baptism is the initiatory rite into a believing community; the church. Therefore, it should only be done to believers" [Ryrie, Basic Theology, 423; cf. Also Strong, Systematic Theology, 958; and Nettles, "Baptists" 23-25, and Welty, "A Critical Evaluation of Paedobaptism," who's argument about the New Covenant and the character of the church we will view in some detail later–see # 7].
4. When all household passages are taken into view, two significant conclusions can be reached. One, the descriptions given of households never mention an infant and show that a household does not necessarily include infants. Two, every description of baptized households gives compelling evidence that all the baptized people exhibited personal faith before they were baptized. They were instructed, they feared God, they rejoiced, they served" [Nettles, "Baptists" 22-23]. According to Charles Ryrie, "The age of the children is never mentioned in any passage that mentions household baptism. But it is said that all who were baptized in those households believed. This, then, would exclude infants from being included in the baptisms" [Ryrie, Basic Theology, 423; cf Ericksen, Christian Theology III. 1102-1103].
5. A fifth line of argumentation taken by many Baptists is to show the supposedly implausible nature of the logical conclusions of some of proof-texts for infant baptism. Ryrie objects that "If 1 Corinthians 7:14 allows or requires the baptism of children in a household where there is a believing parent, then it would also allow or require the baptism of the unbelieving mate" [Ryrie, Basic Theology, 423]. The same case is made by some that if baptism replaces circumcision, why are females baptized, when baptism was only limited to males? This supposedly proves a basic hermeneutic of discontinuity. Calvinistic Baptist Greg Welty argues that the supposed inconsistency of the fact that paedobaptists baptize their infants but do not serve them the Lord's Supper is a great problem, since while arguing for continuity, on this point, paedobaptists "smuggle in discontinuities not warranted by the text of Scripture, but required if insoluble difficulties in the practice of infant baptism are to be avoided" [Welty, "A Critical Evaluation of Paedobaptism," 9-11].
6. According to Tom Nettles, "Baptists also point to the reality that everyone accepts believers baptism no matter what else they may add….Those who accept infant baptism, therefore, must say that it is the same as Believer's Baptism or it is different. If different then there are two theologies of baptism, one plain in Scripture and one hidden. If paedobaptists…must consider infants as believers capable of giving evidence of their belief, or that the belief of a substitute is in no way inferior to their own, that is a difficult case to prove" [Nettles, "Baptists" 23].
7. Reformed hermeneutics and the stress upon continuity lends itself to the practice of infant baptism. But don't the Scriptures teach that in the New Covenant [Jeremiah 31:31 ff], "they will all know me," and therefore, even under covenantal terms, infant baptism is necessarily excluded?
8. What then, according to Baptists, are we to do with our children? Since the Scriptures say they are fallen and sinful, we withhold from them the sign of new life.
are these enough reasons to reject infant baptism all together? seems the crux of their objections is that there is no clear commandment in scripture supporting infant baptism.
Also a side note…not one paedobaptist i have read or heard denies believers baptism. just something to think about..
so let the discussion begin. please be nice, and do not revert to strawmen or Ad Hominem please..and try to use scripture as much as you can…

Spook Country is the latest novel from William Gibson. I love the fact that this is a science fiction novel set in the past, in this case 2006. There is a wonderful follow up article where Mr. Gibson discusses that science fiction is not about predicting the future but a reflection of the present day. Which is something that I feel most people don't really get.
Spook Country is a double entendre which refers to the current state where the Spooks (CIA, FBI, DHS, etc.) seem to be running the country and GPS driven art where you can only see the Spooks if you have the GPS and a URL. You can really see from it's humble beginnings where the art could evolve into a number of channels that we could all tune into to overlay our own "reality". This concept is wonderfully expanded in John C Wright's The Golden Age trilogy.
The novel proceeds along telling the story from multiple points of view each one with their own plot threads that eventually begin to interweave their way to a satisfying conclusion.
Hollis Henry, former indie rocker now freelance journalist is writing a story on a new art form that exists only in virtual reality, Bobby Chombo, a GPS software specialist who provides the software that enables the virtual reality art, is tracking a mysterious cargo container that drops on and off the grid, Agent Brown is tracking a young criminal named Tito who he hopes will lead him to the cargo.
This was a real quick read for me and I highly recommend it. Especially if you are a fan of the afore mentioned Golden Age trilogy.
Cory Doctorow reviews Spook Country.

Den Bosch (Netherlands), June 11:
Indo-Canadian tennis pair of Leander Paes and Daniel Nestor were knocked out of the Topshelf Open as they lost their men's doubles quarterfinal in straight sets here.
The second seeds lost 4-6, 6-7(7) on the grass courts of Autotron Park in Rosmalen to French combine of Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut on Wednesday night.
Herbert and Mahut proved a tad bit better in the highly competitive match. They won the only break of serve of the contest which was enough to seal the first set.
The second set went all the way down to the wire where the unseeded French pair won the tie-breaker 9-7 to proceed to the semifinals. (IANS)

Capstone North Team have enjoyed planning and taking part in family activities over the summer holidays. The North Team led by Hayley Barncroft the new support worker have planned trips each week across the holiday period over different venues to ensure carers and young people from all over could access at least one activity.
The trips included fun days at Wigfield Farm were the children made new friends and fed the animals. They also went to Liverpool World Museum, Eureka, Magna, Blackpool and completed a walk to Stoodley Pike.
The Capstone North Team especially had a great day at Blackpool Stanley Park with carers and children. Luckily the sun was shining for the day and the children enjoyed activities such as the rope swing, conker hunting, playing football, trampolines, and inflatable slides. To round the day off nicely they even went sailing on the picturesque boating lake. All enjoyed Ice Creams, doughnuts and slushies. Even the children agreed they were the best doughnuts ever!
Feedback from all the events has been fantastic just see below for yourself:
One carer stated- 'Thanks for putting together the activities, it really nice for all the carers and children to meet and be able to support each other.'
One Young Person stated, 'Thanks for taking me today, it's been brilliant. The best part was everyone being so nice to each other.'
One staff member said, 'It was a joy to watch the young people interact together and with other children who they weren't familiar with, promoting a sense of normality.'
A big thank you to all who came, it was a pleasure to see you all having so much fun!

ROTTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS--(Marketwired - Feb. 11, 2014) - CGI (NYSE:GIB)(TSX:GIB.A) has been selected as a strategic partner by the largest Dutch pension provider, APG, for the delivery of various application services. The new contract has an initial term of three years and a minimum annual value of 10 million euros.

CGI will support various transformation projects, with the ultimate aim of achieving efficiencies and other key business outcomes.
"Within this strategic partnership, we really want to be a true partner for APG, which in our opinion is the only way to deliver real value," notes Ron de Mos, CGI general Manager and senior vice-president in the Netherlands.

This new contract is a result of our experience and successful collaboration with APG. I would like to thank APG for its trust in us and look forward to new successful projects."
CGI and APG jointly received a 2013 Computable Award for best ICT business project.

As I walked round I also recorded the wider flora. It's an excellent time for recording sedges. most of which are flowering now. The marsh had lots of Carex disticha, as well as C. panicea and C. distans. All of these are very local, being largely confined to unimproved grassland. Around Peterborough C. disticha also occurs in alluvial meadows, but the latter two species are largely confined to damp calcareous grassland, often with springs or seepages.

A woman tortured her little niece for allegedly sneaking out to attend school. According to Kerry Haruna, who published the photos on Facebook, the woman put a stone in fire and placed it on the child's legs, leaving her with severe burns. Read the post below:
"Look at this woman, take a good look at her face, zoom the picture properly and digest her face. Have you done that? Good. That is the face of pure evil, Crude and Unrefined wickedness.
This is Mrs Rebecca Omacho. She is the Executive Secretary, Kogi State Scholarship Board. Living with Mrs Rebecca is her little niece favor whom she stopped from going to school. Favor had to sneak out to attend school, and when she got back, The evil Rebecca acted out her crude wickedness.
She put a stone on the fire, and allowed to get hot very, she removed it with a napkin and placed it on little Favor's leg, resulting in severe burns to her leg.
Surprisingly, this wicked woman was begging that photos of her shouldn't be made public as it will affect her career, she only has one year to retire from the civil service. Of course, her plea was rejected by the authorities of the ministry of women affairs and Social Development.
The case has since been reported to the police for further investigation…

Upoznavanje studenata sa najznačajnijim pravcima u istoriji engleske književnosti od
početaka do zrele renesanse, klasicizma i 20.veka. Upoznavanje sa najznačajnijim autorima i delima. Razumevanje istorijskih i kulturnih karakteristika pojedinih književnih perioda i ovladavanje osnovnim elementima književne analize tekstova.
Primeri evergreen poezije:
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!
I wandered lonely as a cloud
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Firing up the Bicycle Lights
Despite a push in recent years to encourage commuters to hang up the car keys and fire up the bicycle lights, statistics still stand at a national average of a mere 2% for all short haul journeys taken by bike. This figure is bleak when compared with our continental counterparts, the Netherlands national average stands at a far more impressive 25%. So why aren't more of us charging up the bicycle lights? Reports suggest that many commuters view cycling as inaccessible, being an activity best left to the hardened veterans. But with so many benefits for the individual and the environment, converting to pedal power really is the smart option.
Why Cycle?
For a start, cycling is a great way to keep fit and maintain a healthy heart. The action of cycling improves cardio-vascular fitness and strengthens core muscles. With the increase of muscle, cycling also boosts the metabolism, making it an excellent way to burn those calories. Embarking on your short haul journeys by bike is also brilliant for the pocket. Once the initial expense of getting kitted out with the correct bicycle lights and safety gear has been overcome, bikes incur a very low yearly cost. With no need for tax or insurance and no added fuel bills, a bike usually costs as little as £50 a year to maintain. And, of course, there are the environmental benefits. No pollution, decreased road traffic, the ease of storing a bike eliminating the need for car parks and far less energy and materials required to produce a bike than a car, all make swapping the car keys for bicycle lights brilliant for the future of the planet.
Concerns of the Commute; Bicycle Lights and Safety Measurements
Safety concerns are also another point of debate among those pushing for a rise in short haul bike journeys. Unlike Europe's 'Strict Liability' policy which frees injured cyclists from having to provide evidence of fault in order to gain compensation, here in the UK, the onus for safety is very much on the cyclist. Whilst the law states bicycle lights of a certain standard be used in conditions of low visibility, there are extra precautions one can take to avoid claims of negligence in the event of an accident. Helmet cameras are a great way to record your journey and footage can be used as evidence in a court of law. Supplementary bicycle lights and high visibility clothing will also go some way to ensuring your morning commute is a safe journey.

Ceremony: St Cuthbert's Church, Ackworth, West Yorkshire
Reception: Rogerthorpe Manor, Thorpe Audlin, Pontefract, West Yorkshire
More and more couples seem to be opting for mid-week weddings this year. It's easy to see why with the discounts many venues offer and you are fairly sure to get the date you want, even at relatively short-notice. I don't know if it's just me but mid-week weddings generally seem more relaxed than the traditional Saturday ones. Unfortunately, no-one seems to have told Joe that!
I arrived at Philippa & Joe's house, a beautiful converted stable block surrounded by fields full of poppies, and immediately saw loads of potential for shots, which we rattled off before I headed off to the church, leaving the lads to look after Joe.
Phillipa and her Dad arrived at the church in real style in a beautiful carriage drawn by two horses, much to everyone's delight. Thankfully, the threatened rain held off yet again to allow plenty of opportunities for photos both before & after the service.
The happy couple set off for Rogerthorpe Manor in the carriage with a well-deserved glass of bubbly and were no doubt glad of the chance to have a few minutes to themselves.
Having assembled everyone at Rogerthorpe, formal shots were kept to a minimum and the rest of the day was spent snapping "reportage" style to get some nice natural shots of Philippa, Joe and their guests having fun.
The day was rounded off with the obligatory hog-roast (or Wedding Photographer's Platter, as it is now known) - How could anyone be vegetarian, I ask you!
Congratulations and a big thank-you to Philippa & Joe for a brilliant day.

Cambridgeshire Marquee Wedding | Helen & Ed
Ceremony: The Church Of St Kyneburgha, Castor, Cambridgeshire
Reception: Marquee, Ailsworth, Cambridgeshire
Second-shooting with Gav Harrison
Reception: Marquee, Ailsworth, Cambridgeshire
Second-shooting with Gav Harrison
The long journey south necessitated an early start, 8:15am to be precise, but I was very much looking forward to returning to one of my old stamping grounds (I lodged with a friend in nearby Orton Wistow for a while when I worked in Peterborough over 20 years ago).
Gav was driving so we arrived ridiculously early, to be honest, and took the opportunity for a wander around the Castor & Ailsworth looking for interesting features to use later in our photos. Needless to say, there were plenty. There are beautiful thatched cottages and weathered stone walls everywhere. The imposing St Kyneburgha's is an ancient church, dating back to well before the Norman conquest and it has a particularly impressive ceiling (see below). Not only that but it is unusually bright inside, making it ideal for photography. Add to that a very friendly vicar who was happy to allow total photographic freedom and things were looking pretty good!
The only slight fly in the ointment was the weather which consisted of blustery wind, unpredictable showers and occasional blinding bright sunshine - Never mind, nothing we couldn't cope with!
After the ceremony and the main group shots we went for a wander with Helen & Ed for some intimate shots around the village, then headed back to Helen's parent's house for the reception in a huge marquee which only just squeezed into the back garden. Apparently, flower beds & trees had to be removed to make way for it.
Helen & Ed are both confirmed Hispanophiles (no, that's neither rude nor illegal!), hence the Spanish theme to the reception. The evening's entertainment was provided by The Debbie Boyd Band who kept everyone entertained and the dance floor well filled all evening. As well as being Helen & Ed's wedding day, it was Ed's Grandad's 83rd birthday and all I can say is I hope I have as much energy as him when I'm 50, let alone 83!
Congratulations to Helen & Ed and thanks to them & Helen's parents for a great day out!

By MARK KENNY
Fladun / When life isn't meant to be easy
"I learnt the hard way that leaving things to the last minute, not planning ahead with my school work or university studies had serious consequences," says Mum in the City columnist SONYA FLADUN
LIVING in the moment seems to be one of the catchphrases of our times. We all need to live more in the moment, apparently; not spending too much time thinking about what could have been and what might be.Now, at my age I see this as good advice. Not much point in tormenting myself now over all the things I could have done or about spending sleepless nights worrying about what might be.
But for our children, I think living too much for today is a bit of a modern-day trap.
These days everything seems to be about the now. In our digital, interconnected world so much seems to be instantaneous. There is endless entertainment and distraction. There are hundreds of channels to choose from at the touch of a button. We have vast information at our fingertips. Often we don't need to learn something because there's Google; nor develop a skill because "there's an app for that". We are drowning in games. Yet most of those games have no real consequences. Even if you make a mistake and "die" there's always another chance.
None of this seems to encourage some of the old virtues of commitment, practice, reflecting on the past and investing for the future.
In truth, there is always benefit in looking beyond the immediate, in learning from our past mistakes and working towards a better future with prudent planning and by doing the hard yards now.
I learnt the hard way through trial and error that leaving things to the last minute, not planning ahead with my school work or university studies had serious consequences.
For example, preparing and writing a university essay required trips to the library, finding of a long list of books and taking time to assimilate things and be able to write about them. Research was something you couldn't do at the last minute. But these days everything is online. Google now brings vast quantities of information in an instant, but knowledge and understanding doesn't necessarily follow without effort.
I'm revisiting these issues as my kids move through their school studies. Fortunately, both have learned a lot about preparation, persistence and commitment from their sport. There's no app for much of what they do and that's delivered benefits in their commitment to their studies.
However, at the same time, distraction and easy answers are ever present. It takes a constant effort to resist the temptations of instant gratification and easy solutions to problems.
Sometimes, I'm happy to see the kids make mistakes and pay a penalty in one way or another, than let them solve problems easily and instantly with technological solutions. Something might go wrong from time to time, but they will have learnt a lot along the way, certainly more than not having done it in the first place. I've certainly learnt from a few of my mistakes and nothing beats working hard for future success.
We might be living in an age of technological instant rewards, but some older truths endure.

WASHINGTON — The FBI today notified the Free Speech Coalition that 25 adult sites have been hacked, allowing content to be stolen and uploaded to torrent sites.
The person behind the attacks targeted both adult and mainstream film companies, before being identified and arrested, the FBI said.
"According to the FBI, the hacker had a 'calling' copying video content and uploading to bit-torrent sites," said Jeffrey Douglas, the FSC's board chair who was notified of the breach by an FBI task force. "Sometimes he joined, often with multiple accounts. He would then terminate his membership after breaking through the security and stealing credentials.

Forty-Seventh Attorney General 1909-1913
George Woodward Wickersham was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on September 19, 1858. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania earning the degree of LL.B. in 1880. In 1901 that university conferred upon him the honorary degree of master of arts. Previous to graduation he had been admitted to the Philadelphia bar and practiced there until 1882, when he moved to New York City. In 1883 Wickersham entered the old established law firm of Strong and Cadwalader, and became a partner in the firm four years later. He held the office of Attorney General of the United States from March 5, 1909, to March 5, 1913, in President Taft's administration. Wickersham was named by President Wilson to serve on the War Trade Board to Cuba soon after the United States entered World War I. In 1929 President Hoover named him to the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement, also known as the Wickersham Commission. He died in New York City on January 25, 1936.
Jean-Pierre-Charles Chabannes de Palice was born in Clermont-Ferrand, France, on April 18, 1862. He was a student of Constant and Jean-Paul Laurens. His paintings and sculpture were exhibited in Paris in the early 1900's. The portrait of Attorney General Wickersham was painted in 1913.

United Arab Emirates Travel Guide
The sun always shines on the UAE and its gleaming cities, the most popular of which is cosmopolitan, wealthy Dubai, which is characterised by a ten-mile long (16km) deep creek that forms a natural harbour. In Dubai resides the Jebel Ali Free Trade Zone, which makes the city a must for shop-a-holics. A major attraction is the annual Dubai Shopping Festival.
Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE and one of the most modern cities in the world. Visitors revel in large gardens and parks, green boulevards, sophisticated high-rise buildings, modern communication services and transport, international luxury hotels, rich shopping malls and cultural centres. The city's airport ranks as one of the finest in the world.
Just in case travellers forget they are actually in Arabia, the UAE also offers a host of experiences and attractions that utilise its historic Bedouin heritage, including camel treks, henna tattoos, desert stargazing, 4x4 trips through sand dunes and cruises aboard a dhow. Hundreds of tour companies offer a variety of excursions and adventure packages to suit all tastes and persuasions.
Ferrari World
Address: Yas Island, 30 minutes drive from Abu Dhabi Abu Dhabi
Strap yourself in for the ride of a lifetime at Ferrari World,
which opened at Abu Dhabi's Yas Island in November 2010. At over 2
million sq feet (200,000 sq m) this is the largest indoor amusement
park in the world. The headline attraction is the Formula Rossa
rollercoaster, by some margin the world's fastest, attaining speeds
of up to 160 miles p/h (240km) and an acceleration of 4.8 G, which
is what a Formula One racing driver experiences at full throttle.
The park's many attractions include the largest Ferrari gallery
outside of the brand's headquarters in Marinello, Italy; the Speed
of Magic immersive 4-D film experience; the G-Force space shot
tower; Bell'Italia, which reproduces Italy's main attractions in
miniature; and various state of the art racing simulators. An
enormous red-domed roof encloses the facility, creating a
futuristic and unique structure that has been nominated for several
architectural awards. Ferrari World includes six restaurants,
featuring four Michelin-starred chefs.

the official residence of the former ruling family, and was
extensively renovated in 1983. Today it houses the Cultural
Foundation, featuring a museum of traditional artefacts and
historical photographs. The Palace is renowned for the magnificent
tile work over its main gate.
Dubai Creek
Address: Dubai
The natural seawater inlet that cuts through the centre of the
city is the historical part of Dubai where visitors can take an
abra (small water taxi) and view the old trading port and the dhows
from the water. A cruise to Al-Maktoum Bridge will pass many of the
city's historic, as well as modern, landmarks. A stroll around the
wharf offers a picturesque glimpse of Dubai's trading heritage,
where dhows bound for distant places dock to unload their
Address: Dubai
The old Bastakiya district is a step back in time to the days
before electricity and air-conditioning, where traditional
courtyard houses were cooled by wind towers. Old Dubai was famous
for its wind towers that lined the Creek on both sides, and today
the narrow lanes festooned with the distinctively Arabian
architecture are a popular historical attraction marked for tourist
Dubai Souks
Address: Both sides of the Creek, in Deira and Bur Dubai Dubai
Admission: Free Daily 7am-12pm and 5pm-7pm; Fridays 5pm-7pm.
The souks, or traditional markets, are popular with bargain
hunters as well as sightseers and photographers. The most famous is
the Gold Souk, where the narrow streets are lined with shops
selling everything golden, from 24-carat bars to rings and
elaborate necklaces, and all at low prices. The tiny lanes of the
traditional spice souk are scented with sacks of cinnamon, incense,
spices, and dried fruit, while the modern fish souk bustles with
activity and is redolent with smells of a more unpleasant nature.
At the heart of the Bur Dubai souk lies Al Fahidi Street, selling
the latest electronics, photographic equipment and home appliances
at competitive prices. Other streets sell everything from materials
and carpets to traditional coffee pots, loaves of unleavened bread
and hubble-bubble pipes.
Grand Mosque
Address: Al Mussalla Road Dubai
Boasting the city's tallest minaret at 230 feet (70m), the Grand
Mosque is a notable landmark with its multi-domed style and
impressive size. It is an important place of worship and can

permitted to enter the Mosque.
Wild Wadi
Address: Jumeirah Beach Road, between the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the Burj Al Arab Hotel Dubai
Admission: AED 215 (age 13+); AED 175 (children 4-12); reduced admission after sunset.

Telephone: (0)4 348 4444
One of the most advanced water theme parks ever designed, the

the Heritage Village over the Abu Dhabi Corniche features tents,
courtyard houses, an ancient irrigation system, workshops where
craftsmen ply their trades, a museum and much more.
Address: Dubai
While Musandam is technically part of Oman, the tiny peninsula
is all but surrounded by the United Arab Emirates. The barren
mountains that make up most of Musandam are home to a few isolated
villages; Khasab is the largest, with a few cultural attractions
like prehistoric rock paintings and a 17th-century castle.
But tourists don't come to Musandam for nightlife, they come for the spectacular views and quiet beauty of nature. The coastline of the peninsula is made up of stunning fjord-like inlets, and dhow and boat trips along the coast are a popular activity in Musandam (and a good way to spot dolphis frolicking in the sea). Scuba diving is also popular, especially from the dive centre at the Golden Tulip Hotel, the only major hotel in the region.
Liwa Oasis
Address: Abu Dhabi
Numerous local tour operators in Abu Dhabi offer trips from the
city to the famed Liwa Oasis, about three hours drive away along a
modern highway. This green, agricultural strip at the edge of the
Rub Al Khali ('Empty Quarter') is surrounded by desolate desert
with farms abutting towering sand dunes. Visitors enjoy overnight
camel trips to camp in the desert. The oasis, made up of a string
of small towns and villages, is resplendent with pools of fresh
water and date plantations, and is the ancestral home of the Bani
Yas tribe from whence sprang Abu Dhabi's ruling family.

Telephone: +971 04 353 6666
The Jumeirah Mosque is one of the most photographed sights in
Dubai. A fine example of modern Islamic architecture, this
beautiful mosque is also one of the city's largest, with a majestic
dome and twin minarets, and is one of the few mosques open to
non-Muslims for tours. Non-Muslims may only enter the Jumeirah
Mosque on an organised tour. Modest dress is preferred, however
traditional attire can be borrowed from the Mosque.
Dubai Museum
Address: Al Faheidi Fort Dubai
Admission: AED 3 for adults; AED 1 for children (under the age of 6) Saturday to Thursday 8:30am-8:30pm, Friday 2:30pm-8:30pm.

Museum, which has an impressive collection of military and cultural
artefacts, as well as working models and life-size displays
depicting various aspects of Dubai life such as the markets, an
Islamic school, the desert, Arab houses and Gulf marine life. One
of the most interesting exhibits shows the underwater world of
pearl-diving. The fort was built in 1799 to guard Dubai from
landward approaches, and was once the residence of the city's
rulers as well as the seat of government until 1971.

region's first indoor ski resort, with real snow and five runs
catering to both beginner and expert skiers and snowboarders. The
monumental indoor snowdome can host up to 1,500 people. The longest
run is 1,312 feet (400m), dropping 197 feet (60m), while a
freestyle zone and quarter pipe cater specifically for
snowboarders. Ski lifts, snow patrols and professional instructors
help to create an authentic environment. A Snow Park at the bottom
is ideal for children to play in the snow. Slope passes include all
equipment and ski clothing except hats and gloves. Guests need to
pass a minimum skills test to access the main slopes, and those who
don't pass can take lessons.
Sheikh Saeed Al-Maktoum Museum
Address: Al-Shindagha Rd Dubai
Admission: AED 3 for adults, AED 1 for children (under the age of 6) Saturday to Thursday 8am-8:30pm, Friday 3pm-9:30pm.
Telephone: +971 04 393 7139
Sheikh Saeed Al-Maktoum's house dates back to the 19th century,
and was built for Dubai's ruler with commanding views over the sea.
It is one of the oldest residences in the city and has been
restored as a museum exhibiting historical photographs and
artefacts showcasing Dubai's history and development. Its
architecture is also a fine example of the regional style with its
wind towers and central courtyard, teak wood doors and windows and
wooden lattice screens.
Desert Safari
Address: Dubai
For a real taste of Arabia, visitors can take a trip into the
desert with any number of tour operators into the rolling sand
dunes surrounding Dubai. Tours usually include a thrilling 4x4
drive over the dunes, camel riding, a visit to a local Bedouin
village, and end with a traditional Arabian barbeque under the
stars with a show of belly dancing.
Camel Racing

Readers who participated in last month's "Tale of Two Homicides: On Killing and Culpability" exercise may be interested to know that the jury has reached a verdict in one of the two featured cases. After several days of deliberations, a jury rejected Andrew Hoeft-Edenfield's claim of self defense, convicting him of second-degree murder in the stabbing death of a UC Berkeley fraternity man during a drunken confrontation. Scheduled to be sentenced next month, the 22-year-old faces a prison term of 16 years to life.

You can help me get this fieldwork off the ground by donating to the project at http://www.gofundme.com/g0g2k! I am a self-funded PhD student looking for money wherever I can to help facilitate this research. A donation of any size will be very helpful. Grants are very competitive and have been few and far between for the humanities recently, but enough small contributions from the public can make a big difference. You don't have to be a millionaire to be a philanthropist. Archaeology is the domain of the public, and the research we do, we seek to share with everyone. It is, after all, *our* collective past. We are hoping that the results of this study can be translated into a teaching tool for the visitors of Historic St. Mary's City, many of whom are fourth-grade students on school tours, as they learn about Maryland's (and America's) early colonial past. Thank you in advance for any contributions!

Catch Glove. In today's game many believe that bigger is always better when it comes to a goaltender's glove. This is not true. Having a glove that is too big will limit a goaltender's ability to catch and control the puck. Here are two tips to follow when fitting a glove. First from the end of the finger channels to the tips of a goaltender's fingers there should be no more than 1/4 of an inch of space. Second the heel of the goaltender's hand and the heel/cuff of the glove should line up.
Remember This... The backhand shot shouldn′t be a dying skill. It′s just as important as a good wrist shot. Most players don′t have a strong backhand shot because they don′t practice it enough. Coaches need to develop drills that will help you practice this very important but under-used shot.
Blocker. Proper blocker sizing will allow a goaltender to control the face of the blocker. This will lead to better rebound control and protection. Similar to fitting for a glove from the end of the finger channels to the tips of a goaltender's fingers there should be no more than 1/4 of an inch of space.

Tarot Cards – Rider Waite – What manual is best to learn?
I have the tarot cards and the book that comes with them, but it is really hard to decipher. Anyone know of a manual that actually shows photos of each card and interprets each? It is soooooo confusing when I look in this 100 page booklet with no identifying photos, and try and figure out which card is being referred to and how to actually do this!
Suggestion by fooles.troupe
Have you tried Googling for this info?
Try looking here for a start.
Suggestion by WebWeaver
1st off understand that it does take time, and practice. One of the best books for a beginner, and that has RWS (Rider-Waite) pixs is Learning the Tarot.
I suggest this book because the layout of the information is really well designed. You can use the exercises or just use the card information pages. The pages for the cards also has room for a person to make their own notes. You can also test it out online 1st. I'll put the link in the source list. I used the book for about 2 years before I could afford it. It's always easier to have the actual book, cuz you can't take a computer to bed with you 😉
What is the proper way to dispose of tarot cards?
My tarot deck was ruined by some water damage. They are totally destroyed. What is the best way to dispose of them. Could I bring them to my local shop and (partially) trade them? I don't want to actually physically throw them in the trash, but they have more or less disintegrated and are totally useless. What should I do??
Suggestion by xanzibar
physically throw them in the trash
Suggestion by Snowie
In the dark of night they should only be placed into the "Good Will Box"
Suggestion by topazelf
Trash can.
Why would you have to do anything special? It's just cardstock.
I guess if you're really environmentally conscious, you could recycle them.
Should you read you own tarot cards for your own benifit?
ive been reading my own deck. Is this good tarot ettiquette or does someone else have to read your cards for you?
Suggestion by Nelle P
Im not sure. I have a deck of tarot cards that I read too. I assume it is fine but Im not sure about tarot etiquette
Suggestion by ChainLightninG⅜
If you are going to buy random psychic ability, try The Magic 8 Ball ®. I am the only professional reader in the world and soon will have a DVD of lessons for sale. Also I'm going to have a limited amount of balls that have astrology signs instead of the number 8. Just imagine your psychic ball with the symbol of your choice.
My system is guaranteed to work as good as tarot cards or better.
Suggestion by Voodoomoonchild
I've been reading my own cards for years. In fact, I've never had my cards read. I choose to read them for myself. There is a lot of rubbish out there about Tarot etiquette that is just plain hog wash.
Do what feels right for you and forget about "etiquette" it's all a myth.
