P.S. I now have a fanfiction account!
The promise that they could meet again brought a smile to Maurice's face, even as he began his journey home; his elder brother lecturing him the whole way about Hell and Heaven. Soon he learnt to tune out of Stanley's nonsense and focused on the more important matters. How could he convince his parents to let him leave for the evening?
'What are you so cheerful about?' Stan asked, glaring down at him, for his Cheshire Cat smile was rather off putting and distracting him from his argument.
They had just reached the end of the forest, and their manor was within view, but only just. There were only a few fields to go and they'd be home. Where most likely, their mother would be scolding them for being late home for dinner.
Maurice smiled mysteriously. He tapped his nose infuriatingly, causing his elder brother to murmur under his breath about annoying, secretive little brothers. After five minutes of silence, Stanley turned to him, furious.
'Just who was that obnoxious boy we met earlier? He was infuriating! Don't tell me you like him,' he growled, fingering the trigger of his shotgun.
'Of course not, Stan,' Maurice lied, his smirk falling slightly. 'He was the prefect, but we never really talked.'
'Prefect!' He exploded. 'Goodness. He didn't strike me as prefect material, to be honest.'
The youngest boy didn't like the look Stan was giving him, so turned away, folding his arms across his chest and pouting. 'Well, what do you know? I was his fag, and he was the best prefect Weston could ever have. Perhaps even better than you were…'
Stanley chose to ignore that remark. Both the comment on his previous occupation as prefect being a failure, and the fact he lied to him about not really speaking with him. Lucky Maurice, he thought after visualising himself beating him to a pulp. He will live another day.
'Speaking of prefects,' he said in a low tone, sending warning signals to go off in Maurice's head. That voice always means danger. And most of the time, it meant some kind of impact on his future, whether he liked it or not…
'Yes?' he asked cautiously, wisely choosing to watch the blades of grass and daisies rather than his brother's face.
'You'll be a senior soon. Don't you think it's a good idea to enrol in becoming a prefect? You'll have a lot of credit. After all, you are the little brother of a previous prefect, and an old prefect's fag. Just think. It would be perfect.'
'You may think it would be perfect, but not for me…' Maurice said through gritted teeth. 'I'd much prefer to just be a regular student, thank you.'
Stanley groaned loudly. 'You are such a disappointment!'
Almost biting his tongue in his annoyance, the blond boy stamped his foot on the ground and stormed off, leaving his elder to glare at his retreating back as he ran off home.
'Think about it,' he yelled over to him as he ran away.
'No!' Came the tremulous voice of his brother, already miles away.
Dinner was dull and deadly silent, as per usual. As it was the first evening back from school, Maurice just couldn't get used to the unsettling quiet, for meals at Weston were full of giddy teenage boys yelling and roaring with laughter. Now, there was nothing but the gentle clinking of china and silverware against dinner plates. The lack of noise was enough to drive anyone insane. He had something important to say, but no matter how dire something could be, he knew he would be scolded for asking of something like this. Scrutinising everybody on the table, Maurice wondered who would be the right person to ask.
His father caught his wondering eyes and cleared his throat, setting his knife and fork down and looking deep into his eyes.
'Is anything the matter, son?'
'No, Sir,' he said phlegmatically. He knew his father would definitely not be right. There was a curfew and he had to obey it, no matter the circumstances. His father was one to strongly reinforce that rule, typically with a leather belt.
'Sir,' said Stan, a smirk curving the corners of his mouth. He could be the devil when he wanted to be... 'Our Maurice has been out with a stranger and his two dogs whilst we were out hunting. The two seemed very engaged in each other, I could hardly bring myself to—'
'Please may I leave the table?' The blond boy asked quickly, feeling his stomach churn with nerves. He left before they could answer him — or before Stanley could finish telling his tale of how he had almost kissed the ex-prefect.
He strode to his room, making his strides as fast as possible, and passing many concerned maids and stewards on the way. Slamming the door and leaning against it, he sunk down, absolutely mortified over what his brother was trying to do to him. Did he want him to be killed?
He perched on his bed, wrapping his arms around his knees and his head in his lap. If Stanley finished his story while he made his get away, surely his parents would have followed him and beaten him? If they knew… If they knew he was a homosexual — a queer — he would be disowned on the spot. Why would he do this to him? Why?
A few hours passed, with the tears falling down into his hair as he lay back on his bed. Yet nobody had come to yell at him or hurt him. He began to wonder if Stan was just teasing… But he would take no chances.
He sat bolt upright in bed, his eyes falling on the balcony. A gentle orange filtered through the gauzy white curtains as a summer breeze lifted the fabric. The boy stood up and made his way to the gothic stone balcony, head held high, but his fingernails digging into his sweaty palms. Outside fireflies were dancing amongst the oranges and blues of the sunset. Below, crickets and katydids scraped tunes from all angles. He wrapped his hands around the stone and peered downward. It was high… Really high. But he could do it. He had to.
The boy was stood pensively on the moss-encrusted stone, refusing to look down, his watery green eyes cast firmly on the beautiful sunset ahead. His heart felt like it would escape from his chest and settle in his stomach as tears burned his eyes. But he would not give in this time. Soon his vision blurred with the strain of repressed tears. He took a deep heaving breath and steadied himself. It was a long way down. A little slip, and he would spend the rest of his summer with two broken legs at least. Or dead.
Finally deciding on his fate, he smirked weakly to himself and slipped one foot onto a foothold, where a brick had come loose in particularly bad weather. Swinging his other leg over the balcony was a feat indeed without slipping down, but he managed it. Choosing to ignore the blood pounding in his ears, Maurice clung on for dear life, willing for the next loose brick to be nearby. He blindly felt around and before he knew it, his feet were touching the ground. He shuddered slightly, wondering how on earth he had made it out alive and unscathed. Giving his surroundings one last furtive survey, he dusted off his clothes and ran off in the direction of the forest. He knew it was wrong and impolite to just knock on the Viscount's door unannounced at this hour. Yet he didn't want to stick around for the beating of a lifetime when his parents had forced Stanley to finish what he was trying to say earlier. The boy was no stranger to Big Trouble, but never anything as humiliating and sinful as what he would be facing if he didn't escape now. Besides, Edgar did say he could visit him, didn't he?
Closing his eyes and knocking the door, he opened them to see a butler standing there, Edgar by his side. He had to admit he was surprised to see Edgar there (shouldn't he be with the Viscount?) yet found himself beaming widely, despite the look of confusion on the older boy's face.
'Maurice, I didn't know you'd be here so soon. I thought you'd at least wait until the next day,' Edgar said with a laugh, but let him inside never the less. The butler led them upstairs and left them alone, guessing by the guest's tear-stained face that they'd like to talk in private.
When they were in the guest parlour connected with what Maurice supposed was Edgar's bedroom, Edgar called for tea and gestured for the boy to sit down. Maurice felt slightly guilty for visiting at this hour and flushed slightly. There was a moment of silence before Edgar said:
'I told uncle Aleister you would probably be visiting sometime soon, and he didn't seem to mind. So don't look so suspicious, Maurice,' Redmond reassured him, reading Maurice like a book.
'You're not angry with me?'
'Of course not,' Edgar whispered silkily, turning to face him directly. 'Just as long as you tell me one thing…'
'What's that?' Maurice asked.
'Why are you so sad?'
He couldn't hold it back anymore. For the entire walk to his friend's home, he had put the frustration and fear to the back of his mind, but right now, it was all bubbling back to the surface. His mouth opened but before he could say anything a howl of anguish escaped his lips. Ashamed, he sunk to his knees in front of Edgar; his tears sliding down his face and dropping to the plush carpet like raindrops, and one balled fist clenched to his mouth to stop the shameful sobbing. Edgar almost leapt to his feet in shock, but stopped himself. Instead he watched Maurice cry, afraid to ask him what was the matter. Realising he needed to stop the tears somehow, he put one hand on the youngest boy's head and stroked his soft, radiant curls.
Maurice edged closer and put his head in Redmond's lap, giggling a little despite the steady flow of tears. Glad that he had made an attempt to cheer up, Edgar picked up one of the little curls and played with it in his hands. He could feel his warmth against his thighs and let his fingers run through his hair, some of the ringlets curling around them. The boy looked up into Redmond's face and must have seen some form of consent there, for he straightened up slightly and put his head onto his chest, clenching at his black clothes and trembling with the fear he tried so hard to hide earlier.
'There, there,' he cooed, resting his own head against Maurice's and stroking his hair. Despite how convincing his comfort sounded, he was really embarrassed at how meek he sounded.
Maurice parted from him, but still gripping his blazer, his face was inches from Redmond's. They stared into each other's eyes, a dull, heavy understanding settling between the two. Edgar knew what was wrong yet he didn't have to utter a word. He just knew.
'I'm sorry,' Maurice mumbled dismally, 'I didn't mean to trouble you, Edgar.'
'Shh,' he said, placing a kiss on Maurice's lips. 'Don't be silly.'
It was only a small kiss, yet it left Maurice stunned. He closed his eyes, separating the distance between them with another kiss, then another, and another. Edgar's cheeks flushed, realising how much he actually loved being kissed by the boy. These kisses had none of the desperation and greed he tasted on that night in the Swan Gazebo, but instead was mingled sadness and tenderness; and somewhat, the taste of sin, something he imagined Eve would have tasted when she ate the apple in the Garden of Eden. He was ashamed. He was furious with himself for succumbing to Maurice's cold and calculating willpower. But he was also enjoying himself. He kissed Maurice's parted lips, his arms wrapped around his waist and lowering to his hips. Maurice settled himself into his lap without invitation and put his arms around his neck, deepening the kiss further. His fingers untied the ribbon in Edgar's hair and played with his long hair, slipping his hands onto his shoulders and digging in when Edgar's lips moved to his neck. Maurice let out a few heated moans. The feeling of lips against his skin moved to his jaw and finally to his ear before the sensation stopped altogether. With a content sigh Edgar deepened the kiss even further by tilting the boy's head up at just the right angle.
Out of the corner of his eye the light fell on something metallic, catching Edgar's attention. He broke away from Maurice and avoided another kiss by turning his face away. The boy pouted, but Edgar had no idea, as he was completely entranced by the moon's reflection in the pure silver pair of scissors; the early evening moon bouncing off the metal and into Edgar's vision. Maurice could see the ghastly orb imprinted on Edgar's mahogany gaze, yet in the dull light they appeared blood red and simmering with white-hot rage. He flinched violently and made an attempt of escape, but not before Edgar seized him by the collar with reflexes as fast as a vampires'.
Maurice knew something was wrong — terribly wrong — yet he found himself in a palsy as he was pinned against the sofa, as hopeless and vulnerable as a butterfly caught in a spider's web, or an animal ready for dissection. He trembled uncontrollably as Edgar reached over for the scissors, black rage contorting his handsome features, making him look somewhat like the Devil himself. And he had managed to seduce him like the devil would too… Maurice hated how he had became to trust Edgar.
'Do you know why I was expelled?' He asked silkily, one hand thrust against Maurice's chest to pin him down, the other stroking stray curls away from the terrified boy's face.
'N-n-no,' he whimpered, wishing he could sound more fierce and courageous. Despite the urgency of the situation, he made no attempt to get away.
'I killed Derick Arden,' he said happily, sounding like it was the best thing that had ever happened to him. 'I murdered him along with the other prefects, and that's the reason I can't go to Weston anymore.'
The last sentence he said was riddled with regret and self-loathing. Maurice found himself unable to speak, unable to move, and somewhat, unable to hear. He was blinded by fear, only aware of the tight sensation in his chest and the painful pressure against his body.
Finally he managed to spit out, 'B-but w-w-why?' Fresh tears sparkled in his eyes.
Edgar's voice sounded uncontrollably hysteric, rising and falling with rapidly changing emotions. 'He betrayed me… and so did you! Even you!'
Suddenly he lunged, the scissors plunging down into Maurice's neck. A scream surged through the building but there was nobody to save him, for nobody cared. Nobody really loved him — it was all for show.
Using his dying strength and a newfound burst of adrenaline, he grabbed Edgar's wrist and held it firmly away from his body; the blood dying everything that terrible, hateful crimson that soaked Edgar's conscience. But it was too much to bear, and his hand came collapsing down in weakness, his whole body trembling and bloodied vomit escaping his lips. One last feeble shriek came from him before he lay back and became completely passive and still, trapped underneath Edgar's body. Yet Edgar stabbed him over and over, not taking any chances. When the corpse became completely rigid, he slid off him and stood back, admiring his work.
There was nothing but red. That detestable, brutal colour of love and death. Red on the walls, red on the floor, red all over Maurice, and red staining his face and clothes — some of it clinging to his platinum hair in sticky, revolting clumps.
Maurice lay on his back, the silky sheets tangled around his body, his eyes wild, and a cold sweat coating his body. Everything added up all of a sudden.
(Frightened? Why frightened?)
And he felt sick to his stomach… His image of Edgar was ruined forever but there was nothing he could do about it now. Things could be worse… He could be six feet underground in a makeshift, shallow grave, forgotten by all his friends and family, until Christmas or Easter came around and everybody was wondering where he disappeared off to. Just like Derick Arden.

The old testament lord God of Israel never changed he is the same yesterday today and forever. So what has changed? Ever since the beginning of the world the lord God of Israel loved people. He created male and female according to how he designed them to live. But ever since the beginning people fell away and they followed their own lusts and desires and did what was wrong in the sight of the Lord so the Lord God was sorry he made people so he sent a flood and he destroyed what he had made except one righteous man and his family and the Lord God made a covenant with this man saying he would never against destroy the world with a worldwide flood like that again. Now the Lord God will destroy the world oneday with fire, but not again with a flood. Ever since the beginning of time, the Lord God and JEsus Christ existed together as one. One God. Jesus said that himself, he said before Abraham was I AM. Jesus was crucified from the foundations of the world that means that the Lord God had already made up how he would save people who turn away from him. He already made the way to be saved even before he created anybody.
So the way to be saved was always through Jesus Christ the son of God who is the Lord God himself, the form of the son, and the Lord God made this promise to the prophets and to moses and to the Israelites and to Abraham that the Messiah would come to die for the sins of the people and while that promise was going to be made the Lord God sent a law to keep order, a school master to ready people for the coming of the Messiah it was called the law of Moses and the 10 commandments. The idea of the law of Moses and the 10 commandments was to keep people apart from the ways of the world and separated unto the Lord God so that when the Messiah comes they would choose him. The old law was the schoolmaster but it didn't save people. People who died under the law went to paradise if they repented and accepted the Lord because the Lord and Jesus are one. People who died who didn't repent of their evil ways and continued following sin and wickedness and they didnt obey or follow the Lord God of Israel, they ended up in the fires of hell like the the rich man who JEsus spoke of who was wealthy and didn't regard for the poor and he ended up in hell. That was before Jesus died for the sins of the world. While Abraham who didn't have the Torah yet feared and obeyed God and left the sins of the flesh which everybody has as conscience since the days Adam walked the earth, he entered paradise. But he couldn't enter the kingdom because he wasnt born again. You cannot be born again except you go through Jesus Christ. You see Jesus Christ was crucified from the foundations of the world and the saints waited patiently until the day that the Lord came and released them and took them to the kingdom of heaven.
Because Jesus came as he promised and he die for the sins of the people and for all the people before who had looked forward to this and had faith in this wonderful promise that they saw from afar far off. They ever experienced it but they had faith in it, Jesus saved all those people. And all the people who are now living with the promise of Jesus Christ as the reality in real life right here and now, he still is the only way to salvation. God never changed. He never made salvation through the Torah. He never made salvation any other way, he only brought about a school master to keep law and order on the earth until the Lord Jesus came to show the people his true heart. You see law breakers who didn't repent ended up in hell still. and those who did repent even those who were wicked in the past and had murdered or had done sin, if they did repent and they were repentant before the Lord God of israel then they were going to be saved by Jesus Christ and their sins forgiven. You see Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved and he always was the only way to be saved and he always is going to be the only way to be saved. Even before humans beings were created on this earth he still was the only way that people could be saved and made right before the Lord God because he was the sacrificial lamb that was planned to die for the world even before the world was created.
Because the Lord God wanted all people to have a chance to be saved and so he put within them a conscience to know what is right and wrong without being told and then they had to obey their conscience and whether they were going to obey the Lord God of Israel or whether they were going to go on in their wickedness. And the Lord will judge people according to that. You see we have JEsus Christ to follow and obey. Christians still try to follow the 10 commandments to be saved. But Jesus Christ didn't do away with the 10 commandments. Those commandments were also around before the beginning of time although Abraham wasn't given those commandments, he still knew them in his heart because of his conscience. You see the commandments are the basic righteousness of the Lord God in heaven and JEsus fulfils all those commandments. You see the commandments say that we must not murder, Jesus said that we must not murder and he stipulated what murder is. He said that murder is thinking evil in your heart towards people. The law says not to commit adultery but Jesus said that not only must you not commit adultery but you also must not look in lust cause that is adultery too. Jesus brought about the law of love that was made possible by a chance of heart which is what happens when you get born again. It can only happen dear friend, you can only change and get a new spirit and a new heart by the Lord when you get born again by the Lord Jesus Christ. Otherwise you just got a promise afar off like the prophets had. About what was going to happen in the future. But it has already happened now so here we are in the time and age of grace where we can be born again on this earth and not have to wait for paradise. Dear friends it is time to get born again. You see the fourth commandments people get all confused about that one, the sabbath.
Jesus Christ fulfilled the sabbath also. When we are born again and rest in Christ we fulfil the sabbath commandment. And we must obey and follow the Lord of the sabbath everyday for did not even David eat of the forbidden bread on the alter on the sabbath. This is what the pharisees tried to accuse the disciples of, eating on the sabbath (working). You see Jesus is LORD of the sabbath. Now if you don't want to work on the sabbath that is all well and good. You do what you must do for the Lord Jesus Christ. But we no longer have to follow the written letter of the law because now we have Jesus Christ who those people didn't have. They only had the old school master. The prophets and moses only had the old schoolmaster. But we got Jesus Christ now. So we got to obey him and he is going to tell you what to do. IF you get to know him he is going to tell you what you must do. He is going to tell you what you must not do and he is going to show you what you must go and do which is a little bit more that what the written letter of the law can tell you. You see he is the new way. He came and fulfilled the old way and the schoolmaster made way for the new way which is through Jesus Christ who always was and always is. Now since the Lord God of Israel has never changed and he always was who he is and will be in the future, you must know dear friend that you can never get away from living a sinful life. You see in the old days in the past when a nation forsook God and when they lived in immorality and sin and when it reached a height that overflowed the cup, God always destroyed that nation completely, men women and children until there was none left. He brought judgement upon wicked nations like this. The same happened to Sodom and he was going to do it to Ninveah he was going to completely destroy them too because they had reached the point when their cup of iniquity had overflowed. You see God hasn't changed, he will do it again. He did it to Rome. He brought many nations to an end between Jesus' day and today.
He will do it again because this generation is forsaking God and their cup of iniquity is overflowing. So that is why if you do not want to share in the wrath that is coming upon the unjust and those who love a lie and follow the ways of the devil, you must turn away from their path because the Lord God hasn't changed. he will still do away with them man, woman and child until there is none left once the point has been reached that they must be dealt with. However the Lord God is and always was long suffering. He always allows his people to repent. He always sends warnings. he always shakes them. He shakes a nation trying to warn it to repent. He gives people ample time to repent and turn to Jesus Christ. he enables people to turn away from their sin and be saved. He gives them many many years but finally there always comes a time with God when the Lord God of Israel says enough is enough and he draw the sword and he puts an end to wickedness because he hates sin. Really he hates sin. The Lord God has changed my friends he is going to do the same in this day and this age. He is going to draw the sword and he is going to destroy the people who do not turn away from sin and repent after he has warned them. After he has given them chance after chance to turn. Finally if they have finally made their final decision then he goes into action and he renders upon them his mighty justice. You see with God you can never fool him. What you sow is what you will reap.
You must honour and respect the Lord God of Israel who sent Jesus Christ as the only way to salvation and he has never changed, he is still the God of the old testament and the God of the new testament. He is the same and he always was the same and he always will be the same, he hates sin but he loves righteousness and holiness and he expects you to walk on that path following his son JEsus. If you want to please the Lord God then you need to walk on the path of righteousness fulfilling the commandments of his son Jesus and that delights the Lord. There is no other way, you can try and strive to keep the sabbath but you will not please God at all because you rant believing and following his son Jesus and you are trying to rely on the old schoolmaster to be saved and that doesn't please God at all. He is only please with those who really strive to turn away from their evil and instead they embrues the Lord JEsus and seek to follow him in all they do. He is mighty pleased with those people, in face he said that is the work of man.
Jesus himself said that, he said that the work of man is to belie in Jesus, to believe in me. So dear friends never be deceived by Torah keeping by all these laws by all these written commandments like the Muslims try to keep, and the Jews, Dear friends God has never changed, he is always the same his commandments are fulfilled in Jesus Christ and when you obey and follow Jesus Christ you are obeying and fulfilling the whole law when you listen to Jesus and do what Jesus tells you what to do. Because Jesus hear and he speaks and he leads and guides in your heart and he will show you where to go and what to say and who to give and who to give and who to help and he will put these things into your heart to test you to see if you really love him and if you want to be filled with his love and he is going to allow you to be tested to see if you really would turn away from your sins and be filled with his love, Dear friends it is time to dedicate to Jesus Christ only and leave trying to keep the Torah law and all the written things.
Leave it behind and embrues the way that was of old which is Jesus Christ who was crucified since the foundation of the world and you must follow and obey him resting in his victory which is your sabbath. Now dear friends let us separate ourselves from the World and follow Jesus and obey him where ever we possibly can with all our hearts in the name of the Lord. In the name of the Lord mighty God may Jesus bless you.....

For instance, this past Saturday (3 Oct. 2009) at Bisset Park in Radford, I heard a Rose-breasted Grosbeak calling from a Water Oak. It took me over five minutes to finally see this bird, an adult male. It was cracking open acorns and eating the kernels. I haven't seen this species eating acorns before. There were Gray Squirrels and Blue Jays going for acorns in this tree also. One squirrel eased towards the grosbeak, and the the grosbeak flew to another limb. It grabbed another acorn in its bill and cracked it open, part of the hull falling down near me.
Sunday the 4th I observed an immature male Rose-breasted Grosbeak perched in a weed patch about two feet above ground, near some shrubby willows and alders...this location about a mile "parkway south" of Smart View. I observed it while it munched on the seeds of Giant Ragweed, and some other plant that I have not keyed out yet.
Later on the 4th, I sat down near three Palm Warblers foraging in the yard at my parents' house. The three warblers pecked, gleaned, chased, jumped, fluttered and other actions to catch tiny insects, most of which I would just simply call gnats, but I'm not sure what the species were. One caught a moth that was about the same size as the warbler's head. It flew up to a limb of a forsythia to pound, flog and "tenderize" the moth. All this activity attracted the other warblers and also a nearby Eastern Phoebe. The warbler flew to a better hideaway to finish its meal. Another Palm Warbler spent two or three minutes foraging on tiny insects on some marigold flowers, and under the leaves of tomato plants. It was strange to see a Palm Warbler perched on top of a green tomato, but while it rested there, flicking its tail, it pecked some small critter from the tomato and ate it.

A SHARP drop in the number of baby boomers in western economies will exacerbate the global crisis, according to a report by Merrill Lynch.
It says that "median" baby boomers are now moving into their 50s, past their "peak-spending age" of 47 years.
Combined with an end to the era of ever-increasing credit, the ageing population means that the global recession will last until at least mid-2009 - and possibly much longer - far outstripping the typical post-war recession.
"After a buying boom over the past 20 years ... it looks as though the boomers are done," David A.Rosenberg, North American economist at Merrill Lynch, said. "For the first time in four decades, we cannot expect to see the demographic cushion to consumer spending that helped ease the blow in each of the recessions dating back to the 1970s,"
Studies show that by the age of 47, people have bought the biggest house they are likely to buy, they are earning the most they are likely to earn, and their children have mostly left home, leaving them more disposable income to spending on "dream-fulfilling" goods. Spending on Harley Davidson motor bikes, for example, is higher in the 45-50 age group than any other.
But beyond age 47, people enter into a more frugal era of their lives when they are more likely to trade down than up, and consumers are not so much buying new goods as replacing old ones.
In short, their biggest contributions to the economy are behind them.
This correlation between the number of baby boomers and growth in the stock market was first noticed by American investment strategist Harry S.Dent who, in the 1980s, saw two graphs -- one of the S&P500 Index and the other of birth rates. He spotted that the graphs were virtually identical, but on a 47-year time lag.
Using this technique he was able to predict the collapse of the Japanese stock market in 1989.
Based on this "spending wave" theory, the more 47-year-olds in an economy, and the more people there are approaching that age, the better the economy should perform.
But if the numbers are declining, it spells bad news for the economy and therefore the stock market.
"American consumers have been the engine-room of global growth for decades," Shane Oliver, chief economist at AMP Capital, said. "Fewer US consumers spending less money will mean less demand for imported products from all over the world."
At the same time, Rosenberg said the "buy now pay later" days are a thing of the past, with Americans likely to save much more of their income instead of borrowing to shop on credit.
"The 20-year secular credit expansion came to an end just over a year ago, an unprecedented event in the last six decades and, in most cases, beyond our own collective personal experiences," Rosenberg said.
"As mentioned, this is a recession that may ultimately be labelled something a little different once we come out the other side - not unlike how the Great War ultimately was renamed World War I."
Certainly, he is forecasting a far longer recession that is more like pre-World War II recessions.
"In the post-World War II era, recessions last 10 months on average. We were spoiled," he said.
"There have been only two credit contractions we can draw inferences from: the 1930s and Japan in the 1990s.
"And we must respect the differences and understand the similarities. But what we learn from recessions that are rooted in shrinking household balance sheets is that the process of de-leveraging, asset liquidation and debt repayment, tends to last years -- not months or quarters."

Cynthia is a degreed horticulturist who has worked with plants for more than 10 years. Cynthia's experience ranges from retail, wholesale, to hands on gardening in North Texas. Cynthia's focus with Flower Child Plants is working directly with her clients for horticultural consultations, creating designs, overseeing installs, and ongoing specialty garden programs.
"Growing up, I spent my time outdoors and in my mother's garden. My career began in 2006 when I applied for seasonal work at a retail garden center during the spring. My passion for gardening struck me in a way no interest had before, and though I was young, I knew horticulture was meant for me. I continued working at the nursery for 6 years and during college. I loved doing garden sales at the nursery, but also enjoyed spending time starting herbs by seeds, propagating house plants, and creating containers for our customers. I was a natural born entrepreneur and so I started Flower Child Plants in 2009 and did projects for family and friends during college. While in college I worked at Green Creek Nursery doing sales with independent garden centers and landscape designers. After earning my degree in Horticulture Business from Tarleton State University I moved to Dallas, Texas where I worked at North Haven Gardens as a Container Specialist and Garden Advisor in 2012. To further my career I pursued a position as a Horticultural Supervisor at the Dallas Arboretum, where I maintained seasonal color gardens and over 80 containers. While I was at the Arboretum, I collaborated with Amanda and began to focus on Flower Child Plants again working in residential landscapes, offering horticultural consultations, and selling planted arrangements at a variety of art and farmers market around the metroplex. I left the Arboretum in 2014 to focus full time on Flower Child Plants."
Amanda is a degreed horticulturist who has focused her career with hands on gardening. She has worked in a variety of landscapes ranging from Southern Colorado to Texas, both indoors and out for over 10 years. Amanda's focus with Flower Child Plants is working on site during installs, collaborating on designs, small stone masonry projects and ongoing high touch horticulture services.
"Growing up in El Paso, I spent my time in the desert hiking and mountain biking, when I wasn't helping in my family's small business or backyard garden. In high school, I was inspired by nature and began living a low impact lifestyle. As my inspiration grew, I started an environmental club, recycling program and organized cactus rescues and relocation from demolition sites around the city. Starting in the summer of 2005, I began working for a small landscaping company in Durango, CO; and in no time I fell in love with creating and enhancing our clients' gardens.
While earning a degree in Horticulture business, I had the opportunity to work at a large private estate in Fort Worth, caring for their landscape and 1 acre organic fruit & vegetable farm. Furthering my horticulture skills, I worked at my school's turf grass and greenhouse research facility and restarted the horticulture department's community garden my senior year. After graduating, I moved to Dallas in 2012 and began doing interior design and created live arrangements with Dr. Delphinium and Botany 2000. While doing interiorscaping, Cynthia and I collaborated and began working together on outdoor landscapes. We also worked together creating botanically inspired art that sold at local art markets and galleries. In 2014, I pursued my my love of the outdoors and landscaping by joining Flower Child Plants full time."

Musicworks magazine's 2nd Annual Sonic Geography Writing Contest
Cash prizes, and winners are published in Musicworks magazine
Details: Write 500 words about the sound of a specific location. How does it influence the space? Check out http://issuu.com/musicworksmagazine/docs/2012_contest for some examples of Sonic Geographies.
To enter: www.musicworks.ca/contest/contest.asp
Deadline: June 25, 2012
Each $20 entry fee includes the price of a 1 year subscription to Musicworks (3 magazines and 3 CDs)
I went to the magazine and had a look at the contest. Here is a bit more detail:
Hmmm, well, the first thing that comes to mind is that all of these spaces, except the inside of your car perhaps, are likely to be polluted by various forms of recorded sound. And by that I mostly mean pop music. My local coffee shop features wall-to-wall jazz from a satellite radio station. I left a note for them once saying "does it have to be all jazz all the time?" Of course, jazz, music that has no actual structure so you can just dip in and out of it randomly, is perfect music for a coffee shop. The grocery store, when the PA is not bellowing something about a sale, has salsa or cumbia (I live in Mexico, so cumbia is never very far away...). Public spaces are usually laden with various kinds of canned music these days. One of my favorites is the badly-managed restaurant where the twenty-something staff choose the music, normally something quite horrific, and obliviously inflict it on their fifty and sixty-something customers. Once I sat down, looked at the menu and noticed that they were playing something even more horrific than usual with a popping, funky bass line turned up loud. I got up, handed the menu back, said, "not with that music" and walked out.The Sonic Geography Writing ContestWrite prose to describe how sound influences place.How does sound define the chosen location? Listen to your local coffee shop, grocery store, or commute to work. Choose anywhere—urban or rural, indoors or outside, busy and loud or mysteriously quiet—and literally describe what you hear. Write about language, geography, landscape, urbanization, culture, architecture or people. Maximum: 500 words.
If Bob Dylan were writing "All Along the Watchtower" today, instead of writing
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growlHe might have written instead
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
Outside in the distance, the loudspeakers did growl
Two sound trucks were approaching, the synth began to howl.Because nowadays, anywhere within the bounds of civilization, the sounds of the natural world are brutally suppressed by the sounds of Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga or their generic cousins...

In 2014, New World Interactive released a stand-alone version for their original Half-Life 2 mod called Insurgency. While I did not have a chance to take a look at the game two years ago, the recent release of the Day of Infamy total conversion mod led me to take a deeper look at the base game. At first glance, the game resembles what one would expect to experience when playing Counter Strike, urban team-based competitive multiplayer with objectives. Insurgency, however, is remarkably deep, adding weapon customization, class-based squad assignments, and a constant stream of new content through the use of Steam Workshop.
There are two main ranked playlists in Insurgency, dividing the in-game population for those that want to play high-tension elimination matches and those that want to jump right into the action after death. The majority of the servers feature 16v16 team matches, but there are some that focus on 8v8, typically for elimination servers. Regardless of your preference, you'll still find plenty of active servers throughout the day, even during off-peak hours. The game focuses on realism, removing any in-game map or radar, a health indicator or ammo counter. The most that Insurgency informs players is where objective are located and which players are in your squad/team. You can forget about lining players up with crosshairs either, as you'll have to aim down the sights of your weapon to accurately see where you are aiming.
As mentioned, I was initially concerned about missing all the HUD elements that clutter the screen in Call of Duty and Battlefield, but I eventually found it freeing. Sure, it increases the game's difficulty, and players with a higher level of skill will get an advantage, but the intense nature of the engagements is second to none. Whether you are attempting to make an escape through an alleyway or you are laying down covering fire behind a waist-high wall, you are constantly hearing nearby gunshots. Attempting to figure out what direction it is coming form and if you should be concerned is the key to success. Then again, you may not hear the footsteps from the player that sneaks behind you and unloads a single shot into the back of your head.
I'll be honest, by the time you see your enemy, you will probably be dead. Unlike engagements in Battlefield, where you can escape after taking numerous shots, a single bullet can put you down for good. Playing objectives, you'll see groups of soldiers attempting to defend or attack, but most of the match, you'll encounter soldiers running around alone. Perhaps, squad members were waiting in hiding, and I never got the chance to see them. Seeing bullets bounce off nearby walls means you need to get out of whatever location you are in as quickly as possible. Most of the time it is already too late, and you should attempt to lay down suppression fire or warn your squad before it is too late.
Teamwork is essential, but playing with everyone on mute and is still an option, though not recommended. If you do not want to use a mic, you should listen to the tactics that you'll hear from other players as the community takes matches seriously. As with all competitive multiplayer games, I found myself leaning towards playing with friends instead of hoping on random servers by myself.
Each side is broken up into three squads, each with a limited number of slots per class. Everything is on a first-served basis, and you'll encounter different weapons and gear depending on the class selected. The classes range from those with typical assault weapons to those with heavy equipment or the one sniper rifle in the squad. The roles are defined, and when all squad members play their roles for the best of the squad instead of lone-wolfing it, a win is satisfying and exhilarating. Weapons can be customized using a limited amount of supply points, such as increasing the clip size, replacing a fore grip with a grenade launcher and choosing from a handful or scopes and sights.
Similar to my experience with the Day of Infamy mod, there are multiple game modes, but I found myself focusing on only two: Firefight and Push. Firefight uses the game's permadeath mechanic, forcing players to use tactics to stay alive or risk losing the round. Push is similar to the Rush objective mode from Battlefield, featuring waves or reinforcements for both the attackers and defenders. Attackers have a very low number of waves at the start, and securing an objective will add both additional waves and more time for them to complete their mission. There are over a dozen maps set in various Middle Eastern style towns, cities and countrysides. The majority of them have both a day and night version that can be added to the map cycle. The maps are varied enough, ranging from tight-knit urban environments to snowy mountain tops with a limited amount of buildings to use for cover.
Simply Put
Insurgency, like Day of Infamy, is visually dated, but the intense nature of the team focused gameplay shines through. The realistic gameplay is why I spent hours playing the game, way more than I ever spent playing Counter-Strike or competitive Call of Duty multiplayer. There are plenty of active servers, and you will not have any problem finding one to join for whatever your game mode preference happens to be.
Note: The Insurgency review is based on a digital PC copy of the game, provided for review.

I arrived in the afternoon at the Greyhound station in Phoenix. I was wearing long linen pants and a sweater because Greyhound drivers tend to turn up the air conditioning as much as they can. So I stepped off the cool bus in Phoenix and the outside temperature stroke me with its 112 degrees Fahrenheit (over 44 degrees Celsius). As my friend Lhyn was still working, she sent a friend of hers to pick me up. In an air-conditioned car he took me to the dental clinic where Lhyn was working. From there we drove back to her house which is in Goodyear, in the south-west part of Phoenix.
Soon after we arrived, her three year old son AJ and her husband Daniel arrived. After going shopping for groceries, we lit the grill and ate delicious steak and corn. Daniel took me out with another friend of ours, Eric. We went to various local clubs in Goodyear and ended up in Eric's favorite, the Lighthouse. I liked the Lighthouse as well, because it is very laid back and they have pool tables and karaoke. I excused myself from the karaoke and tried my luck at on the pool table. Even though pool is not my strong suit I enjoyed the night out.
Trying my luck at the pool table
The next day was rather expensive: As I had lost my iPhone in New Orleans, I wanted buy a new one in the States. Because of the Dollar rate and Apple products being cheaper here, I decided to buy an unlocked white iPhone. Even though it is expensive, I wanted to have an iPhone again. Also, I had the chance to have lunch at a In n' Out Burgers. It is my favorite burger chain!
In n' Out Burgers
In the evening, I learned that in order to be allowed in in certain clubs, the Swiss picture ID is not enough. So Daniel's friend Vance had to drive me back to the apartment to get my passport. We went to different bars only to end up in the Lighthouse again. It was another great night, which made the day even more expensive, but we enjoyed ourselfes a lot.
Lhyn and Daniel, ready for the clubs
The third day included two very American things, one of them being Laser Tag. Laser Tag is a game where one has to tag other people with a laser gun. After five minutes, we where all very into it and it was one of the best work outs I had in my life. Actually, as I am writing this, three days later, I still have sore muscles.
The other American thing was a house party, including "Beer Pong", a game which I am apparently very good at. We had another great evening at Vance's house that ended with enthusiastic discussions with Eric at around 5am.
Eric and I playing "Beer Pong"
The next day was a very lazy day before I ended up going to the airport. The plane left at 10.30pm and landed approximately four and a half hours later at 6am in New York. The math actually adds up if one takes into account the time difference. So after arriving at JFK Airport I went to Nikhil's place where I am allowed to stay another couple of nights. I slept the whole day until 5pm because after the last few nights I was really in need of some sleep. When Nikhil came back, we decided to cook an Indian dish called Butter Chicken. I wrote down the recipe and it will be in my next blog post.
Thanks to all of you guys in Phoenix! I had a great time!

Bubble, bubble toil and trouble
NEW YORK, July 29 (Reuters) – The Federal Reserve seems to be volunteering to be top bubble burster. In a recent speech, Bill Dudley, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, overturned more than a decade of Fed orthodoxy by claiming it was the central bank's duty to defuse asset price bombs before they detonate.
As the United States struggles with the fallout from the bursting of the housing and credit bubbles, the Fed may win applause for being proactive. By the time the next one starts to inflate, however, Fed officials may regret they raised their hand. Doing the job properly will certainly make them unpopular and there is no guarantee that it will even work.
But this is no reason not to try. Reducing violent swings in asset prices would be a hugely valuable service. As the latest crisis demonstrated, asset manias can devastate the banking system, stop the economy dead in its tracks and decimate the wealth of Americans.
The first problem the Fed would face is in identifying bubbles. A bubble is a market where assets become overvalued relative to the future returns they offer. Sadly, without a crystal ball, pinning down future returns is difficult. This was Alan Greenspan's chief objection to targeting asset prices, although his famous "irrational exuberance" speech suggests he knew a market mania when he saw one. Having identified a market delusion, the Fed would then face a political hurdle. Asset price surges create wealth. They are popular. Politicians see them as a vindication of their policies.
A Fed chairman who dared to tighten policy to slow house price appreciation would need nerves of steel. "Even a slight change in regulation on housing and you get upwards of 30,000 angry letters," says Vincent Reinhart, a former Fed official.
Finally, the Fed would face practical problems. Monetary policy is a crude tool. Try to crack a nut with a large hammer and you may end up breaking the table. Alternatively, you may damage the table and fail to hit the nut altogether — undermining the economy without puncturing the bubble.
Despite the difficulties, Dudley is right to be positive. While one measure alone might not have slowed house price growth, a host of small steps might have helped contain the problem.
"If regulators had forced mortgage originators to tighten up their standards or had forced the originators and securities issuers to keep skin in the game, I think the housing bubble might not have been so big," Dudley argued in his speech last month.
He is right to imagine creating tools to fulfill this task. Adjusting margin requirements for stock purchases, for example, might not stop determined buyers but it would have a powerful signaling effect. Forcing mortgage originators to issue clearer warnings to borrowers about interest rate risks might also have been helpful.
Economists are also working on more reliable bubble-spotting tools.
Leigh Caldwell, a behavioral economist, points to experiments to monitor irrational exuberance. The extent to which consumers have become unmoored from reality can be determined through tests of small target groups, he argues.
"I propose that regulators develop a small set of measures of irrationality that can be calculated and published at least monthly," he said in a paper published on the Vox EU web site. This approach has yet to be tried on a broad canvas but could provide a valuable addition to the central bankers' tool-kit.
It is far from certain that the Fed will emerge from the overhaul of regulation as the chief systemic regulator. But it could still play a vital surveillance role.
Since the Fed exerts great sway over the banks, it would be central to any effort to dampen over-enthusiastic markets. The Fed also has an army of economists and sifts vast amounts of data on consumer and banking finances.
It is a great step forward that the central bank has acknowledged that it may be possible to identify and prick bubbles. The Fed may now have several years to hone its irrationality sensors before the next market mania puts it to the test.

The Samba-Bugzilla – Bug 4092
Can't get list of printerdrivers when connected through FQDN name
Last modified: 2009-04-30 17:35:19 UTC
When connecting to samba from windows using FQDN (\\server.domain.local), the printer driver list for the server (available through "printers and faxes" and then "File -> server properties") is empty (unable to be retrieved).
The problem will yield problems during installation of printer drivers and when clients try to install a new printer using point'n'print. Probably in other cases too.
When using the short hostname notation for the server connection (\\server), things seems to be okay.
This is at least no longer a problem in v3-4-test.
Closing as fixed for 3.4

text: Good Co made our outdoor August wedding so magical. They were incredibly easy going and communicative and learned a couple request songs for us. They were great at reading the room, playing more subdued songs when people were eating and talking, and a great variety of more danceable songs towards the end of the evening. They even played the Hora on the spot when a Jewish relative of mine requested it. Guests were abuzz about how great the music was, and neighbors (we had a backyard wedding) who overheard sent notes about how much they loved the music. They were also very patient with some power issues that arose midway through dinner (and even kept playing for us!)

Dowie was born May 25, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland to Christian parents who had much hope that their son would grow to be "a great man of God". At the age of seven, Dowie received his call to the ministry and at age 21 he made an absolute decision to answer the call God had on his life. After being totally healed of "chronic dyspepsia" and reading the will of God concerning healing, he would develop a strong antipathy to surgery and medicine.
While pastoring in Newton Australia, a death-wreaking plague swept through the region, people were dying at such a high rate that they were totally paralyzed with fear and dread. Having great faith, he began healing his people, and not another member of his church died of the epidemic. As a result of this revelation, the great ministry of John Alexander Dowie was launched.
At one point in his life, Dowie was moved by the political scene thinking he could influence more out of the political arena then the church groups, so he decided to enter the race.
After his defeat, Dowie wounded his church and disgraced his ministry but continued in his fleshly desires to push himself in this area neglecting his healing ministry. Once he repented and returned to the message of divine healing, great physical and spiritual blessings came to him.
Soon, Dowie bought 6600 acres 40 miles north of Chicago. He then began to build the city of Zion. He proclaimed himself as overseer of the city of Zion, it was obvious that something was not right.
He had now come to the point where he had brought criticism on God's work. I think the devil had succeeded in distracting Dowie, and this distraction weakened Dowie's spiritual condition to the point where now people were looking at his whole ministry as something that was not legitimate or from God. Dowie continued his life with much controversy till his death on March 9, 1907.

modern times, musical jingles have played a key role in the advertising of
Coca Cola. Some of those jingles have become classics in modern
advertising. While music is important in today's Coca Cola advertising,
it was also important for selling Coke on radio during the golden
On a Wednesday evening in 1930 (exact date unknown) at 10:30 PM, the
radio listeners heard the first broadcast of THE COCA COLA HOUR
on NBC's Red Network. The program had an unusual combination of
sports and music. Graham McNamee and Grantland Rice interviewed famous sports
stars of the era, and Leonard W. Joy with his 31-piece string symphony handled
the music. The program also had the rare distinction (by 1930 standards) to
air from coast-to-coast.
Joy wrote the theme music for the program. It didn't have a specific
name, so the music was simply called "The Coca Cola Signature."
In radio terminology, "signature" meant theme song. It consisted of
only a few bars and it never finished. The music faded out when the program
began. Joy created the signature to serve as the program's theme music, but
little did he know The Coca Cola Signature continued to
be heard on radio into the 1950's.
The Coca Cola Signature served as the theme music
on all radio programs sponsored by Coca Cola for the remainder
of radio's golden age. Not only that, the music also served another purpose---
it was in some cases, Coca Cola's commercial.
As a breath of fresh air to those radio listeners who hated radio commercials,
Coca Cola didn't have lengthy commercials, excitable announcers,
or silly gimmicks. The commercials were brief, to the point, and presented
in a professional manner. In some commercials, all was heard was The
Coca Cola Signature, the opening of a bottle of Coke,
and the announcer saying the program was presented by Coca Cola.
That was it. Although the commercials didn't have much context, they were
effective in convincing the radio listeners to open a bottle of Coke
and feel refreshed.
For a piece of music that was designed to open and close THE COCA
COLA HOUR, The Coca Cola Signature did its part in selling
Coca Cola for over 2 decades. Its unassuming music provided
the inspiration that music sells Coca Cola--- and it has to
this very day.

Spawn and Version

Version: XBL 1.1.1 (equiv Beta 1.7.3)
Einstein's famous equation (known as the Mass–energy equivalence) is the stuff of legend. It allows physicists to explain mathematically the resting potential energy of any object and links energy with mass -- a theory which at the time was revolutionary. Little known fact, E=mc2 is not the entire equation... only the part that people remember. The full equation adds a term that incorporates the energy at rest. However, when I tried the full equation, I was not impressed, so I used the one we all know and it worked great.
A reminder -- the "E" in the above seed name is capitalized. Obviously, since the Xbox doesn't do superscript, the "squared" is just a "2".
My Review
This was a really nice level. There are many interesting features to see above ground, some interesting caves and complexes to explore, and a higher-than-average amount of resources floating around for the taking. But beyond that, the one thing this level will probably become known for are the really cool bays, coves, and inlets that are scattered everywhere -- especially the islands. I spawned in a tree; while usually a harbinger of good wood, the forests in this level are a patchwork mostly confined to the northwest island and the spider-web archipelago. This seed as a ton of sugar. The barren and icy-cold northwest portion of the map is the only major flaw in this otherwise excellent seed.
This seed appears in episode two of my groundbreaking Xbox Minecraft seed tourism series, This Old Seed. In this video, I show you how to get into the underwater hole at -59.65.370.

From underneath, this cluster of overhangs and land bridges scar the sky. The sheer cliff walls on either side create a valley that houses (among other things) a waterfall and a thick forest. At right, this is a medium-sized cave complex. At foot (out of frame) is a pitfall cave and there are some good coal spots in here.

A native form of the ornamental Gingers that have been so popular with gardeners for their handsome foliage and shade tolerance, which make them essential ingredients in a woodland garden. This plant has blue-green, heart-shaped leaves that form a dense ground cover 6″ high.
Wild Gingers are among the great foliage plants for shade. Their shapely leaves come in a variety of rich greens. Some are shiny, others have exquisite texture, and a few carry striking silvery patterns. All Wild Gingers love rich, slightly acid, organic soil with plenty of moisture, under which conditions most will spread to form distinctive ground covers of varying density. The curious, bell-shaped flowers are insignificant.

Rogers plays Mackintosh, an ageing, tale-spinning ranch hand who befriends T.J., a sullen young boy (Clay O'Brien).

Environmental Product Declarations
BlueScope's Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) respond to market demands for credible, product-specific environmental information from building owners, architects, design engineers and sustainability specialists who are at the forefront of developing a better built environment for Australia.
In 2015 BlueScope released its first three EPDs, providing an unprecedented level of transparency for environmental impacts across a range of impact categories. The EPDs for XLERPLATE® steel, Hot Rolled Coil and Welded Beams and Columns are registered under The Australasian EPD® Programme. EPDs for a broader range of products including COLORBOND® steel will be available in 2016.
EPDs are expressions of commitment to long-term sustainability, transparency and positive environmental stewardship. The information contained in EPDs is quantified and verified. BlueScope is committed to understanding and improving the environmental, social and economic performance of our production processes.
An EPD is a transparent and verified disclosure that tells the life cycle story of a product's environmental impacts. Similar to the familiar nutrition label for food, an EPD contains all of the environmental information needed for a product, in one place, and in a meaningful and credible manner.
The information provided ranges from simple recycling data to in-depth life cycle assessment (LCA) results. BlueScope's EPDs are product-specific so you have the confidence of knowing the true impacts of the product you have specified. Industry-average EPDs do not directly relate to a specific product.
EPDs help to earn points for Green Star credits in the sustainable products and LCA of buildings credits. Specifying BlueScope products with EPDs can be a fast, cost-effective means to increasing Green Star points for your project.
BlueScope EPDs are verified to be compliant with International Standard ISO 14025 and the best practice European Standard EN 15804. They also provide optional environmental data to help enable BlueScope's customers achieve further credits under Green Star.
EPDs are best used to support whole-of-life assessment for end uses such as buildings, infrastructure and their components, as well as everyday materials. Using product-specific EPDs in the context of a whole structure or development enables environmental optimisation and progress towards a better built environment.
"BlueScope Steel has gone to great lengths to map energy, material and emission flows across its Port Kembla site in an effort to accurately calculate the environmental performance of its products. The company's commitment to achieving a high quality LCA in line with best practice standards is commendable. For start2see, BlueScope's commitment was further evidenced by a transparent and co-operative approach to the verification process."
Rob Rouwette, EPD third party verifier, start2see
"We are proud that BlueScope invited thinkstep to support them moving to the next level of product transparency. BlueScope's EPDs truly illustrate that verified environmental information can be produced by industry in-house by using the right tools - like thinkstep's LCA software and GaBi database – coupled with expert guidance."
Barbara Nebel, Managing Director thinkstep Australasia
"We are very pleased that BlueScope published the first Australian EPD under our programme, and that it is a great example of what can be achieved through commitment to release independently verified, reliable, product-specific information."
Andrew Marjoribanks, Board Member and Spokesperson,
The Australasian EPD® Programme

|The young lady could find no place of refuge except this very mosque.
|Upon hearing these words, the student kept quiet and asked her to sit in one corner. Thereafter the student returned to his corner and engaged himself in studying the whole night.
|While studying he whould momentarily place his finger-tip on the flame of his lamp.
|The young lady had been carefully observing this.
|Nevertheles, the young lady persisted in her request . The student finally said, "The devil repeatedly whispered into my heart and encouragedme to do evil with you. Hence I placed my finger tip on the flame and addressed myself thus:
|'When you cannot bear the heat of the fire of this world, then how will you ever bear the painful fire of jahannum?.. Allah, though His Grace protected me. Hearing this, the young lady returned home.
|She was the daughter of a weathly person and she was about to be engaged to the son of another weathly person.
|Finally , they were wed and Allah made them prosper.. 15) People marry for Four reasons, Beauty, Weath..

I feel that having lots of interests is great because you always find a way to fit them all together, in other words they all seem to be related to one another in several ways.
I have had a large interest in Astronomy from the age of 13 and also in geography from about the same age. As my experience in both of these areas grew, I found that one interest could help the other. I learnt about the types of volcanoes in one of my first GCSE geography lessons and later on when reading about mars I found I had a much bigger interest in its surface volcanoes; I understood a lot more about them, and being able to relate one interest to another fascinated me.
Astronomy is one of those things that is difficult to explain why you enjoy it. I personally have many reasons from being able to gaze up at a clear night sky and just see so many other worlds out there and being able to let your mind wonder to who or what is looking back down on you, to looking through my telescope at wonderful objects such as the Orion nebula and the Great globular star cluster in Hercules and also worlds closer to us like Jupiter and Saturn. Some of the things out there are breathtaking.
As for geography, the interest was created at school, where it was one of the subjects that I could understand so easily. I loved learning about natural processes which create the landforms around us today, how natural events such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes make humans react, and how these seemingly negative events create opportunities and positives. I have come to the end of studying geography at the University of Exeter now, and it has been great to be able to study something I love. I am gonna miss studying geography loads- not sure what I will do without it. I have a long term goal to go into flood management. But don't worry, I will continue to write articles on here cause believe me, I have loads more ideas about astronomy and geography that I would like to write about. Geography is still gonna be a large part of my life- I am certain of that. I apply geography to everything around me because it is fascinating.
My GCSE geography teacher once told me, "everything is related to geography". I have learnt since then that he is totally right. I write this blog to express my interest in all things geography and simply because I love the subject!

In this world the only constant is change.
I know it to be true. Sometimes I love it, other times, it scares the shit out of me.
Change can bring new opportunities and new beginnings, but change can also mean the end.
I like to think I stay optimistic and embrace change when it happens, but it is not always the case I have found.
For now, I do embrace the changes occuring in my life and around me. I finally feel as though I am old enough, and hopefully wise enough, to take the lessons I have learned thus far and put them to good use.
For now, I am optimistic. Many amazing opportunities have presented themselves to me and it is my time to take advantage of them. All the while, I finally have realized the things in life that are really important to me, and for once, I feel as though I can make the best decisions not only for me, but for those around me.
Thanks universe! Thanks for the fresh air of change!

VOLUNTEERS and Friends at Holy Cross Hospital, Haslemere, have been formally presented with the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.
The award is the highest accolade for volunteer groups across the UK and recognises outstanding work carried out in communities for the benefit of others.
The Holy Cross Hospital team was commended for 'improving the quality of life for people with severe and complex neuro-disabilities by providing meaningful social activities'.
Caroline Breckell, Deputy Lieutenant of Surrey, visited on Monday to make the formal presentation, handing a commemorative domed glass crystal, certificate and citation signed by the Queen to Christine Keattch.
Miss Keattch has been volunteering at Holy Cross, in Hindhead Road, for 18 years and is one of the longest-serving volunteers.
The presentation was witnessed by many current and past volunteers and Friends, deputy lieutenants, the High Sheriff and mayors from Waverley and Haslemere.
Christopher Hinton, hospital chief Executive, said: "I feel honoured that the volunteers and Friends have been put forward for this prestigious award.
"Volunteering has been happening at Holy Cross for nearly 100 years. It began in 1916 when the Sisters acquired the site on which Holy Cross now resides. The Sisters encouraged others from the local community to join them by volunteering to help with their work."
Volunteers continue to make a big difference to patients' lives to this day. They enable a wide-range of activities in the hospital as well as outings such as home visits, trips to the seaside and local amenities. Their friendly human contact contributes to the quality of life of patients and their families.
The work of the volunteers is supported by the fundraising efforts of the Friends, a group that was established in 1960. The money they raise funds activities such as the art group and maintaining the Senses Garden.
The Friends have recently agreed to fund the purchase of a minibus to replace one they bought some years ago.
Deputy Lieutenant Karin Sehmer read the citation and praised the contribution made by the Friends and volunteers.
She described the Queen's Award as being 'the equivalent of an MBE to the volunteers as a group'.
The presentation ended with warm words of thanks from sister trustee Sister Mary Agnes.
She described the presentation as a 'wonderful occasion' and a 'great opportunity to get so many volunteers together and to thank them for everything they do'.
