Fiona Ingram was born and educated in
and has worked as a full-time journalist and editor. Her interest in ancient
history, mystery, and legends, and her enjoyment of travel has resulted in the
multi award winning The Secret of the Sacred Scarab, the first in her
exciting children's adventure series—Chronicles of the Stone. Fiona has just
published the second book entitled The
Search for the Stone of Excalibur, a treat for young King Arthur fans.
She is busy with Book 3 entitled The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper. South Africa
Do you consider yourself to be a born writer?
I think so. I have always scribbled something, either plays for the family, stories to entertain my young brothers, poetry to amuse family members, and then later writing a book just came naturally. Being an avid reader also helps!
Tell us about your recent release. What was your inspiration for it?
The Search for the Stone of Excalibur is the second book in my Middle Grade adventure series The Chronicles of the Stone. Book 1 began the adventure after my mother took me and my two young nephews on a family trip to Egypt. I came back and penned The Secret of the Sacred Scarab right away and, when I reached the end of the book, I realised my young heroes hadn't saved the world yet; they needed more books! The second adventure takes the heroes to Britain, where King Arthur's sword has been discovered and there is a powerful stone embedded in the hilt. Could this be the source of Excalibur's legendary powers?
Tell us about your children's books.
I never imagine that one book, which began as a short story filled with anecdotes about our trip to Egypt, would end up as a book, and then a book series. The series is extremely gripping: young heroes Adam and Justin have to locate seven ancient Stones of Power scattered throughout the known world of several thousand years ago. Adam has a special connection with the stones. United, the stones enable someone to read the legendary Egyptian Book of Thoth, the most powerful book in the world, and thus learn the secrets of ultimate knowledge, achieve immortality, and control time, eternity, and the creatures of the land, sea and air. Of course there are baddies who also want these stones, and they pursue our heroes as they travel the globe in search of these powerful objects. Each book takes the kids to a new country, exploring ancient history, geography, culture, mythology, legends, and archaeology within each story. It's an amazing adventure for the heroes as they meet people who help or hinder them on their quest.
What are you working on now?
Book 3: The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper is non-stop adventure! Continuing the adventure that ended in Britain just a short while ago, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair, with their friend Kim Maleka, are now hunting for the third Stone of Power, one of seven mysterious stones lost centuries ago. This stone might be located in an ancient city, hidden in the depths of the Mexican jungle. When their small plane crashes in the jungle, Adam, Justin, Kim, and James – their archaeologist friend - are rescued by an uncontacted tribe. James, who is wounded, must stay behind as the kids, with only a young boy, Tukum, as their guide, make their way through the dense and dangerous jungle to find the city. Raft riding on a crocodile-infested river and evading predators are just part of this hazardous task. Of course, their old adversary Dr. Khalid is close behind as the kids press on in search of the lost city of stone gods. But he is not the worst of their problems. This time Adam will clash with a terrible enemy who adopts the persona of an evil Aztec god, Tezcatlipoca, and is keen to revive the ancient tradition of human sacrifice. Adam, Justin, and Tukum must play a dreadful ball game of life and death and maybe survive. Will they emerge alive from the jungle? Will Dr. Khalid find the third Stone of Power before they do?
What type of book promotion works for you? Any special strategies you'd like to share?
It's an understatement to say I have tried everything because I have. I work very hard at marketing my books. Some options have been a waste of money; others have yielded mediocre results. However, a hugely successful strategy for me is what I am doing right now; going on a blog tour. It is organised; the hosts are keen to have you; their readers are interested in the genre you write; you can tell potential readers things that maybe you don't get an opportunity to do otherwise; and also you have a chance to offer readers something special as a thank you, and to encourage them to read further. You can also get reviews from hosts interested enough to read your book/s and give their opinion. It's also a way of creating a following of people who will continue to read your books and will look out for them in the future. Another very successful strategy is entering book awards because that tells people your book is of a high quality. I was fortunate that my first MG adventure, The Secret of the Sacred Scarab, won a bunch of awards, and that certainly influenced my getting international publishing contracts.
Is there anything else you'd like to say to our readers?
If you are a parent or have young relatives just getting into reading, the greatest gift you can give them is to instil a love of reading. Enjoying reading is a learned process, and a young child associates the pleasure of reading with a parent or beloved relative with the pleasure of reading as they grow older. Literacy is priceless, and reading and loving books will set that child's feet firmly on the path to a successful future.

About the Book:
Title: The Search for the Stone of Excalibur
Author: Fiona Ingram
Publisher: Biblio Publishing
Pages: 376
Genre: Juvenile Fiction
Format: Paperback/Kindle/Nook
Continuing the adventure that began in
Egypt a few
months prior in The Secret of the Sacred Scarab, cousins Adam and Justin
Sinclair are hot on the trail of the second Stone of Power, one of seven
ancient stones lost centuries ago. This stone might be embedded in the hilt of
a newly discovered sword that archaeologists believe belonged to King Arthur:
Excalibur. However, their long-standing enemy, Dr. Khalid, is following them as
they travel to Scotland
to investigate an old castle. Little do they know there is another deadly
force, the Eaters of Poison, who have their own mission to complete. Time is
running out as the confluence of the planets draws closer. Can Justin and Adam
find the second Stone of Power and survive? And why did Aunt Isabel send a girl
with them?
Join Justin and Adam as they search not only for the second Stone of Power, but also for the Scroll of the Ancients, a mysterious document that holds important clues to the Seven Stones of Power. As their adventure unfolds, they learn many things and face dangers that make even their perils in
Egypt look
tame. And how annoying for them that their tag-along companion, Kim, seems to
have such good ideas when they are stumped. Book extras include some historical
background on King Arthur, the Dark Ages, warfare and weaponry during Arthur's
time, and details on Excalibur. A fascinating peek into the life and times of
the real King Arthur, perfect for young time travelers and budding

WASHINGTON — The Republican-controlled Senate rejected two Democratic budgets Wednesday, including one that proposed a six-month freeze on cost-of-living adjustments for Social Security benefits.
That plan, offered by Sens. Lawton Chiles, D-Fla., and Ernest Hollings, D-S.C., also called for reducing the deficit by raising revenue through limiting tax write-offs for corporations.

You don't have to love math to enjoy 3.14, a bakery in White Center, but it does help if you like pie. Which I do. It was a bit of a drive from Cap Hill, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the homey bakery. You're not overwhelmed by the selection of baked goods, but there were plenty to choose from – and not just pie.
The owner was friendly and patient, and it was nice to be the only hipster in sight. I took my time and chose a couple cake balls, a blueberry muffin top, and a cherry mini-pie.
The red velvet cake ball (bottom left) didn't do it for me, but the chocolate peanut butter one was everything a cake ball should be – dense, moist, almost like a truffle. It had strong peanut flavors and the chocolate was rich. As for the muffin top (top of the picture), I had never seen such a thing! Who would just sell tops of muffins? After eating it, I see why it's a thing. It's like a mini cookie-cake for breakfast! It was fresh-tasting and not at all dry, even the next day. No bitter aftertaste either, just flour and blueberry goodness.
The cherry pie was the winner. I don't even love pie, especially cherry, but the owner recommended it. And I'm converted. I warmed it up two days later in the oven, and it tasted fresh, flaky, and buttery. The cherry filling wasn't too sweet or too tart, and there was just the right ratio of filling to crust. This might be my new favorite pie. I just wish they were closer. 3.14, come to Cap Hill, or at least do some farmers markets!

No need to be embarrassed by the Trinity
A small group of Muslim men turned up at church from the local mosque to ask a few questions on Sunday evening. Unsurprisingly conversation soon turned to the Trinity. As it turned out we had just returned from a church weekend away reflecting on how essential the doctrine of the trinity is if we are how to live well in the world. Here's a sketch of my notes from a talk I gave on the weekend.
A. How does God define our relationships?
I wonder when you last spent some time thinking about the Trinity? I guess many Christians find understanding what it means that we believe in One God in three persons a little confusing if not a little awkward to explain. Maybe we find the trinity intellectually embarrassing if and when we are challenged by a non-Christian and I suspect we do find the doctrine a little irrelevant when it comes to living everyday life.
Well this morning its not my place to give a defence of what Christians believe or the history. But my job in just 30 minutes is to show you how life-changing it is to know that you love and serve a God of relationships.
The Bible affirms that there is One God in three persons. That means because God is eternal relationships (between Father, Son and Spirit) have always been at the heart of ultimate reality. And my big point this morning is that ONLY the Christian can say that!
And that means that only the Christian has a foundation for relations.
Whoever we are, our doctrine of God IS the foundation for our relationships.
B. What we think of God defines and shapes the nature of our relationships
Maybe the best way to look at this truth is by way of comparison with the other ways of looking at relationships.
1. Atheism
The dilemma of modern man is simple: he does not know why man has any meaning. He is lost. Man remains a zero. This is the damnation of our generation. – Francis Schaeffer in He is There and He is not silent.
We don't know how to live in the world and we cannot agree how we should live in this world;
- If there is no God then there is no basis or standard for relationships (there is nothing informing our relationships!)
- We can recognise the problems in our relationships but cannot find a binding answer (the world would be a better place if we all got along…but we can't agree on what that means)
- We define relationships for ourselves (every man, and woman, does as he sees fit)
- Relationships are an aspect of 'survival of the fittest'
Richard Dawkins summed up how the absence of God impacts his ethics in the following sobering words: If someone used my views to justify a completely self-centred lifestyle, which involved trampling all over other people in any way they chose I think I would be fairly hard put to argue against it on purely intellectual grounds.
Fellow Oxford intellectual Peter Atkins puts it this way when quoted by Richard Dawkins in Unweaving the rainbow: We are children of chaos, and the deep structure of change is decay. At root, there is only corruption, and the unstemmable tide of chaos. Gone is purpose; all that is left is direction. This is the bleakness we have to accept as we peer deeply and dispassionately into the heart of the Universe.
Is it enough to believe in 'god' to understand the nature of relationships and living well in the world? As we will see the answer is 'no'. All depends on the nature of that god.
No word is as meaningless as is the word god. Of itself it means nothing unless content is put into it. – Francis Schaeffer.
2. Islam
- God is not a personal god. He exists in 'splendid isolation.' Even in paradise God will not be with us.
- God and relationships are separate thing – God is not a God of relationships for before he ever created he was alone.
- God cannot inform our relationships (we cannot look to him to teach us) and our relationships are not an aspect of image-bearing.
- When God is teaching us about relationships he is not teaching us about himself
- God may be loving (toward his creation) but he is NOT love because in eternity he has no-one to love. He had to create in order to love and experience love.
3. Pantheism (Hindism, New Age, etc..)
- God is an impersonal force
- Impersonal forces cannot define or inform personal relationships. In fact, more than that, they undermine relationships. The holy men of Hinduism retreat from relationships and community.
- Our final goal as human beings is to join the impersonal ie become one with the impersonal force.
- Relationships and personality are temporary
The truth is that if you exchange the truth about God for a lie it will not only damage you but destroy community and confuse society.
Look with me at Romans 1:18-30. What is the result of humanity suppressing the truth about God. It is two things i) a turning to worshipping other gods and ii) a break down of relationships. The SIN of rejecting God leads to all sorts of SINS damaging to community. Looking at the list at the end of the chapter (vv.28-30)
Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.
4. Christianity
Only Christianity has at its heart a God who IS a God of relationships and God's own relationship makes your relationships meaningful.
C. What can we learn from the God of relationships?
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit have always existed in perfect relationship. They express and define perfect love.
Therefore (for example) we can learn how to love one another within a marriage by learning from the relationship between Father and Son.
|Bible verses
|Nature of relationship
|John 14:31, 3:35
|Perfect love seen in a desire to bless the other.
|John 17:1,4
|Other-person centredness. A seeking after the glory of another ahead of own. Love involves service, sacrifice.
|John 10:30
|Unity. One in Being. One in purpose. One in ministry.
|John 5:30
|Difference. Unity does not mean uniformity. There is an order to the relationships. The Son does the will of the Father and obeys him even though they are both fully God.
As God's image bearers in the world God shapes and defines our relationships. Whether that be relationships between husband and wife, parent and child, employer and employee, authorities and those subject to authority. All our relationships reflect in some way the God of relationships. Our relationships are defined by love, other-person centredness, unity yet difference.
Reasons to rejoice in the Trinity!
There is no other sufficient philosophical answer than the one I have outlined. You can search through university philosophy, underground philosophy, filling station philosophy – it does not matter—there is no other sufficient philosophical answer to existence, to Being, than the one I have outlined. There is only one thought, whether the East, the West, the ancient, the modern, the new, the old. Only one fills the philosophical need of existence, of Being, and it is the Judeo-Christian God –not just an abstract concept, but rather that this God is really there. He exists. There is no other answer, and orthodox Christians ought to be ashamed of being been defensive for so long. It is not a time to be defensive. There is no other answer. – Francis Schaeffer, He is There and he is not silent
Part 2 of this series will consider just how our relationships are to be based on the God of relationships.
All men watch porn
A sad and sobering report in the Telegraph of a University of Montreal study in which they could not find a male student who had not consumed pornography.
The study found that the average age at which boys were introduced to porn was 10 years old.It also found that single men viewed pornography 3 times a week for an average of 40 minutes each time and men in relationships 1.7 times a week for 20 minutes each time.
What does all this mean for Christians? Who's keeping watch in your church? Here are 12 questions that spring to mind that need the attention of any leadership team.
1. Should we work from the assumption that our young men (and probably our older men too) are viewing pornography?
2. How and when should be raising the issue with our children? At what age? In what way?
3. How and in what context should we be talking about these issues with the men of our church? When did we last talk to the men about this?
4. What do we need to say to wives and girlfriends? Do they understand the nature of the struggle?
5. How do we protect marriages from 'virtual-adultery'? Are we helping husbands and wives to talk wisely and appropriately about this issue?
6. What are the statistics for women? Is this a growing issue for both sexes?
7. What accountability structures do church leaders have in place for their own behaviour? Who is asking them whether they are viewing pornography? How can they model godliness in this area of life?
8. What support and accountability do we offer for those willing to acknowledge that this is an issue for them? What church discipline is appropriate too?
9. What are the lies that capture our hearts and make pornography a battle for every man? Do we understand its power?
10. Do we know how to fight this battle through the gospel rather than by mere will-power of self-control?
11. What do we want to say to non-Christians who might be part of the wider church community?
12. How do we help apply the gospel to those who have a 'past' in this area even if it is no longer a dangerous issue?
Thank God for your mistakes in ministry – and use them well
If you're anything like me your natural temptation is to want to forget the mistakes you've made in ministry. Some are embarrassing because they highlight our immaturity or weaknesses, others are difficult to recall because we remember the impact they had on others. Bad news is for burying, isn't that right? But maybe God wants to teach us through our mistakes (and our failures for that matter).
Ten most common mistakes made by new church starts is a book that aims to take our errors and put them to use. In their introduction Griffith and Easum write 'Those of you who are already church planting will recognise yourself as we go along. If the pain gets too bad, take an aspirin or two.'
I think I probably made at least 6 of the mistakes they list. One of the mistakes I recognise was called 'Failure of the Church to Act Its Age and Its Size.' The key principle being that in a planting context decisions need to me made about what ministries should be started when. In other words there is the world of difference between knowing something is the right thing to do and knowing when is the right time to do it. When we started talking about buying a building as a one year old plant we certainly didn't help ourselves or our congregation to 'Act our age!' Great idea, wrong timing. The same can be said of wanting to start a full-blown kids work from age 0-14 to draw in families to the plant at a time when our eldest child in the congregation was just 1.
Stepping out in faith is not the same as running ahead, unaware of the risks and at a pace that cannot be sustained by even the most servant-hearted, faith-filled congregation. Nor do plants begin ministries only to please guests. 'It's better to just let them walk away than to overextend and burn out. It's also better than making promises you can't keep.'
At our next 2020birmingham Planters meeting we will be sharing our mistakes and in turn I'll try and share some on the blog.
God not only lets us make mistakes, he wants us to learn from them. He also wants us to teach others through our mistakes. The Bible is full of stories of those who failed from Abraham to Moses to David to Paul. Their examples are for our instruction. God has included their mistakes to teach us humility, patience, God-dependence and above all else that He is the one building His church sometimes because of us and sometimes despite us.
We live in a world where no-one will ever say they were wrong. As Christians we are free from the need to prove ourselves, our ministry successes and failures do not define us. But they do shape us and others. Let us put them to good use.

arun joshi
Arun Joshi, like Anita Desai has recorded modern man's traumas and agonies in his novels with rare competence and gravity. "It is with the novels with Arun Joshi and Anita Desai that a new era in the Indo-English fiction began and also witnessed a change in the treatment of themes."
The literary journey from Charles Dickens period in British Literature to the arrival of the novelists of the late sixties and the seventies in Indian literature witnesses the issue pertaining to the self- identity search, thought about man and his sufferings, his way of life and at the best the means and method to overcome these problems. In this regard, one can compare the works of the mid sixties writers to the works of Camus, Sartre and Kafka. To understand and analyse the novels of Arun Joshi, it is worthwhile to have a subjective understanding of the novels rather than that of the objective reality that shaped the protagonist.
Joshi's place among the major Indian English novelists of the twentieth century is undisputed. He was exceptionally perceptive as a creative artist, but his premature demise in 1993 cut short his promising literary career. He could contribute to Indian English literature only five novels and a few short stories.
His emphasis is on the individual psyche of the protagonist throughout his five novels. His technique of introspection intensified by self-mockery opens a new dimension in the art of Indian English fiction. It is because of his novel's approach his psychological understanding of the inner conflict of human beings and his philosophical existential vision, that one is drawn into his writing. Joshi recognizes a reality beyond the mere phenomenal world, a reality which only an artist could imagine and capture by giving a consistent form to the shapeless face of human existence.
The conflicts between alienated self and the socio-cultural forces are the postulates of Arun Joshi's fictional creations. In...

Measuring dynamic technical change: a technometric approach
The propose of this paper is to extend the microeconomic benchmarking approach known as "technometrics". We offer a novel approach to measuring technical change at the product level, based on intertemporal comparison of product characteristics, using objective performance measures. The goal of the study is to provide a straightforward tool for benchmarking technological sophistication that can be portrayed graphically and shows how technological capabilities have changed between two points in time.

Robert Gesink of the Netherlands cruised to victory in the Tour of California on Sunday, finishing the eighth and final stage in the middle of the pack, just eight months after he shattered his leg in a fall.
The Dutchman, who claimed the leader's yellow jersey when he won Saturday's penultimate stage in the Californian mountains, retained his 46-second lead over his nearest competitor, American David Zabriskie.
"It's moments like this, when you have your good times and your wins, that's what you do it for," said Gesink, who captured his first overall win since fracturing his leg in four places during a training run.
Sunday's final stage, a 44.7-mile ride from glitzy Beverly Hills to downtown Los Angeles, was won by Slovakian sprint specialist Peter Sagan, who also won the first four stages of the Tour.
Sagan, who fell back during the time-trial and the two gruelling mountain climbs in the Golden State, produced another of his trademark late bursts, crossing the line first in one hour, 27 minutes and 36 seconds. He finished 42nd overall, more than 27 minutes behind Gesink.
Tom Boonen of Belgium, a former world road race champion currently ranked No. 1 in the world, finished a close second while Germany's Gerald Ciolek was third.
Zabriskie also finished in the middle of the pack to finish second overall for the fourth time in the seven editions of the Tour. His countryman Tom Danielson was third overall for the second year in a row.
Gesink, now 25, emerged as one of the promising riders on the circuit when he finished sixth overall in the Tour de France then won the Tour of Oman a year later, but his confidence was dented by the death of his father then his own crash.
"We have an amazing team here and the guys supported me all the way through," said Gesink. "I had some tough months after breaking my leg and all that happened before that.
"It's a victory my team was waiting for, and this is an important race for us. Previously, I won the young rider's jersey and this time I won the overall jersey, so California is good to me."

Hi Everyone,
So excited to finally share my Fairy Tale units with you!
Last Fall, we turned the class in to an ENCHANTED CLASSROOM!
I absolutely love Fairy Tales and can't wait to expand on these units with more characters!
We focused on Princes and Princesses and Knight and Dragons.
It made for some pretty creative writing and a lot of engagement from my boys.
We had so much fun writing about knights fighting dragons and princesses saving princes.
(that's right - the girls were rockstars in these stories)
We also did some centers which is always fun!
We may have also goofed around little.
You can check out my Knights and Dragons Craftivity and Prince and Princess Craftivity.
And we all lived Happily Ever After...
Until next time...

Samuel Middlebrook, my 2x Great Grandfather was a fairly well known identity in Katikati which he had a hand in founding, by being the one to lead George Vessey Stewart into the area with his group of Irish Settlers. He remained living in the area until not long before his death and for many of the latter years of his life lived aboard his boat the "Phenella"
Here is a layout that recounts the history of the boat, both during and well after Sam's death.
Journalling on the layout reads:
Built on the Uretara River in the early 1900s by Sam Middlebrook with help from his friends William Mulgrew and Noble Johnston, the 28 foot long Phenella was a well known vessel in the Kati Kati area. It was Sam Middlebrook's second boat, the first having been wrecked by a stray kauri log in a flood on the Tuapiro River. It was built as a houseboat and in fact Sam did live on the boat for more than 20 years in the latter part of his life. Most of the hardware on board including the "Union Engine" was salvaged from the wreck of the previous boat, the Monuwai. It was fitted with a Mast and Sails and often was sailed on the harbour.
Sam used Totara for the hull, and Kauri for the upper works of the boat.
Sam was an excellent and experienced boatman with an expert knowledge of the Tauranga Harbour; and on one occasion was responsible for saving the lives of a party of excursionists caught by a storm on the harbour. When Sam "retired" to Waihi, the boat was sold to a Mr Blomquist, the Chairman of the Tauranga Harbour Board who renamed it the "Whanganella". During World War II it was designated a rescue craft in case aircraft flying off the Mount Maunganui aerodrome crashed into the harbour, but it was only once called out due to its mooring on the Uretara River and it could only get out to the harbour on the high tide. On one occasion one of the RNZAF planes made a mock dive bombing attack on the Whanganella when it was out on the harbour.
When Mr Blomquist died the boats ownership was passed to a Mr Claude Hume. By this time age and years had caught up with the old vessel, but its totara hull was still sound , though the kauri upper-works had to be entirely rebuilt by a professional boat builder.
Mr Hume kept the boat for 20 years on the harbour near his home at Matahui, and he cruised in it extensively, going as far afield as the Bay of Islands. He renamed it the Kotuku and then this name was retained when the boat was once again sold to a Mr Lomas who took ownership in 1971.
When Mr Lomas had a minor collision with a wharf, the boat builder who repaired the boat said the hull was as sound as the day it was built over 50 years before.
In fact the timber in the hull where two planks needed repairing was so hard that he could not saw out the damaged pieces, and they had to be burned off.
I wonder if the old boat is still sailing now. It certainly would have some stories to tell .

As every gardener knows, the range of available plant choices makes choosing new plants a daunting task. To help boost confidence among gardeners in the lower Midwest, the Missouri Botanical Garden, along with its expert horticultural partner organizations, selects Plants of Merit. The plants are proven performers in Missouri, central and southern Illinois, and the Kansas City metropolitan area. To meet the criteria, plants must be easy to grow, noninvasive, pest- and disease-resistant, highly ornamental, and available for purchase.
Rattlesnake-master (Eryngium yuccifolium) This native prairie plant looks as dramatic as its name. The leaves at the base of this plant look much like yucca leaves, which gives the garden a southwestern flair. Rattlesnake-master is best used in small groups as an accent in the border. Strong flower stems can reach 4-5 feet tall. The unusual flowers can bloom from June to September and are quite decorative in floral arrangements. Eryngium loves full sun and is drought-tolerant. It is easy to combine with other sun-loving plants, such as asters, sunflowers, goldenrod, and ornamental grasses. Zones 3-8 See more about rattlesnake-master.
Toad lily (Tricyrtis formosana) These flowers look so exotic, passersby will think you're growing orchids in the front yard. Toad lilies have rather small blossoms with pink-, lilac-, or purple-speckle petals. It's best to plant toad lilies where you'll be able to see the flowers up close, such as the patio or sitting area. The flowers also look great in arrangements. This perennial grow best in partial shade where its arching stems will reach 2-3 feet long. It blossoms in late summer and early fall and combines well with other shade plants such as hostas. Zones 4-9 See more about toad lily.
'White Pearl' bugbane (Actaea matsumurae 'White Pearl') Every shade garden must have at least one group of these stately perennials. 'White Pearl' bugbane has a cluster of fernlike foliage about 2-3 feet tall. The foliage is quite attractive and adds a great deal of texture to a shade or woodland garden. While most shade-loving plants bloom in spring, this Actaea sends up its long graceful flower wands in late fall. The showy white blossoms are balanced on the tips of the 3- to 4-foot-tall stems, bringing them nearly up to eye level. It's also called Cimicifuga 'White Pearl'. Zones 4-9
'Snowbank' false aster (Boltonia asteroides var. latisquama 'Snowbank') The name says it all. This false aster is covered with 1-inch daisylike flowers in late summer. Snowbank is an improved version of this lovely native perennial. It is a much more compact form that does not require staking to keep the plants from falling over. This butterfly magnet is a sun lover and is quite happy in most soils, even moderately dry ones. Snowbank spreads slowly, and after a few years, it may be divided. If its 3- to 4-foot height is still too tall, pinch back the stems in late spring. It will keep the plant even more compact. Zones 4-9 See more about 'Snowbank' false aster.
'Longwood Blue' bluebeard (Caryopteris x clandonensis 'Longwood Blue') It's impossible to resist the fragrant violet-blue flowers that cover this small shrub in late summer. Soft silver-gray foliage complements the flowers beautifully and is quite fragrant in its own right. 'Longwood Blue' grows between 2-4 feet tall depending on your Zone and winter dieback. In general, it's best to cut the shrub back hard in early spring. It quickly grows back and flowers that same season. The blossoms are attractive to butterflies and other beneficial insects. Zones 5-9 See more about 'Longwood Blue' bluebeard.
Dutchman's pipe (Aristolochia tomentosa) If you think your garden is full, encourage it to climb. Dutchman's pipe has large, medium-green, heart-shape leaves. It grows quickly and will soon cover a sun porch, trellis, or fence. The flowers are remarkable, shaped like an old-fashioned Dutch smoking pipe. They bloom in early summer, but you'll have to lift up the lush foliage to see them. If the vine gets too tall, it is easily pruned in late winter. This is an outstanding plant for a butterfly garden. In fact, blue-and-black Pipevine Swallowtail butterflies will only lay eggs on this plant. It's easily grown in average well-drained soil in full sun to part shade, but it does prefer rich, moist soil. Zones 5-8
Japanese false cypress (Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Filifera Aurea') In landscape design, evergreens are important for color and texture, even in midwinter. This is a particularly lovely selection because of its golden weeping, threadlike foliage. It is often called a threadleaf false cypress. The golden foliage color stands out especially well in the winter landscape and in seasonal floral arrangements. Slow growing, this tree will only grow 6-7 feet tall in 20 years, but it can occasionally reach 20 feet tall in optimum locations. It's best in part shade and prefers fertile, moist, well-drained soils. Zones 4-8
Climbing hydrangea (Hydrangea anomala subsp. petiolaris) Hydrangeas are totally in. They are fabulous plants with stunning flowers. Even so, few people grow or even know about their elegant cousins, the climbing hydrangeas. Imagine beautiful white, lacecap flowers, backed by polished dark green leaves. This sturdy vine will climb a wall by itself. Gripping roots come out of the stems. The vine can reach heights of 30 feet in time, but it is easily pruned to keep it shorter. Exfoliating, reddish-brown bark adds interest all winter. Look for 'Firefly' with its yellow variegated foliage for added appeal. Part shade is best. Zones 4-7 Learn more about climbing hydrangea.
'Gro-Low' fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica 'Gro-Low') This rugged groundcover has great fall color. 'Gro-Low' fragrant sumac generally reaches about 2 feet tall but can spread up to 8 feet. This is the perfect groundcover for large areas or to hold soil on slopes and embankments. The leaves are fragrant and display orange, red, and burgundy fall colors. Plant in full sun or light shade in average garden soil. 'Gro-Low' is a female cultivar with red berries that are loved by birds and small mammals. Zones 3-9 See more about 'Gro-Low' fragrant sumac.
Blue Muffin arrowwood viburnum (Viburnum dentatum 'Christom') Blue Muffin has three-season beauty wrapped up in one compact, easy-to-grow shrub. Reaching just 3-5 feet tall, this arrowwood viburnum is the perfect size for foundation plantings or shrub and perennial borders. Clusters of beautiful white flowers bloom in mid- to late spring. The blossoms produce small blue berries in late summer that look terrific in floral arrangements, add interest to the fall landscape, and attract songbirds. As if that wasn't enough, the glossy, deep green foliage turns orange to burgundy in the fall. Zones 3-8 See more about arrowwood viburnum.
Fall Fiesta sugar maple (Acer saccharum 'Bailsta') Fall is exceedingly beautiful in the Midwest, and the show gets brighter with this maple tree. Fall Fiesta sugar maple has deeper and more saturated fall colors. The yellows are golden, the reds are richer, and the oranges are fiery. This handsome shade tree will eventually grow to 50-75 feet tall. The canopy is full and pyramidal to round in shape; it can eventually reach 50 feet wide. Unlike most sugar maples, Fall Fiesta is resistant to frost cracking. Plant it in full sun with moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Zones 3-8 See more about the sugar maple tree.
Pyramidal European hornbeam (Carpinus betulus 'Fastigiata') More common in Europe, this hornbeam has a statuesque oval to upright form and is considered a superb landscape tree. It is also an ideal street tree and does a fine job planted between houses, where it can form a visual barrier. The tree grows 30-40 feet tall but may be pruned hard and grown as a hedge. The foliage is disease-resistant, bright green, and attractive all season. In summer, the tree produces small nutlets, and in the fall, the foliage turns yellow and orange. European hornbeam is easily grown in full sun or light shade in average, well-drained soil. Zones 4-8
'Pink Chimes' snowbell (Styrax japonicus 'Pink Chimes') This is the perfect-size tree to use as a special accent in smaller gardens or patio areas. This refined specimen grows 15-25 feet tall and wide. Clusters of soft pink, bell-shape, fragrant flowers bloom in May and June. Gray-green berries follow the flowers; they mature to brown then last into fall. Mature trees display interesting bark with deep fissures that show off inner layers of orange. It's best grown in humus-rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soil in full sun to light shade. Zones 5-8 See more about 'Pink Chimes' snowbell.
Regal Prince oak (Quercus x warei 'Long') This is an unusual oak tree because of its upright, columnar form. Regal Prince will grow to be 40-60 feet tall but only 25 feet wide, making it better suited to home landscapes than its much larger family members. It is lovely planted alone as a focal point or planted in small groups as a screen for privacy. The foliage is glossy dark green, turning to yellow and brown in the fall. This oak also shows good resistance to pests and disease. It prefers moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soil in full sun. Zones 4-9
'Fat Albert' Colorado spruce (Picea pungens 'Fat Albert') This chubby evergreen really is as cute as its name. 'Fat Albert' is best known for having the perfect pyramidal Christmas tree shape. It is compact and grows to just 10-15 feet in 10 years. This is the perfect size for smaller yards where it can be planted as part of a foundation planting, as a single specimen, or in a group near the back of the border. Best of all is the steely-blue needle color. Easily grown in average, well-drained soil in full sun, neither deer nor rabbits find this spruce very delicious. Zones 3-7 Learn more about spruce.

Academic journal article The Review of Metaphysics
Symbols of Transcendence: Religious Expression in the Thought of Louis Dupre
Article excerpt
LEVESQUE, Paul J. Symbols of Transcendence: Religious Expression in the Thought of Louis Dupre. Louvain: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1997. vii + 381 pp. Paper, $30.00--Focusing on the theme of symbols in the thought of the Yale scholar Louis Dupre, this recent study makes a clear contribution to understanding further the role this subject has played throughout Dupre's life's work. Levesque, presently in the Department of Comparative Religion at California State University, derived much of the research for this present volume from his Ph.D. dissertation (Katholieke Universiteit, Leuven). In addition to four major chapters there is a brief "Foreward" by Dupre, and an extensive bibliography of his work (including book reviews by him and reviews on his books) in the concluding section.
The main objective of Levesque's study, stated in the "Introduction," is to "demonstrate that in Louis Dupre's work all religious expression, insofar as it has transcendent reference, is intrinsically symbolic" (p. xxii). In the first chapter Levesque approaches this goal systematically, first by setting forth the meaning of the term "religious" in the thought of Dupre. The three sections that follow explicate the theme of this chapter, "the justification of `symbol' as primary expression of religious understanding," by its theological justification, by philosophical justification, and through justification of the method employed. Dupre extols the phenomenological method as it provides "the proper balance between objectivism and subjectivism" (p. 51).
In his second chapter Levesque extends further the conceptual framework of the treatment of symbol theory by discussing its "foundations" as developed by Cassirer, Hegel, and Susanne Langer. Levesque then moves quickly, but concisely, to situate symbolism within the context of metaphysics and culture. In the third section of this chapter, attempting to describe Dupre's theory of religious symbolism, Levesque designates three points as "patterns" which provide "a more extensive and authentic presentation of Dupre's understanding of symbol" (p. 84). The three patterns selected are form, representation, and language. …

God's love knows no borders or limits! Who would have dreamed of a Korean church thriving among a Latin population? God would! As a result, the Sierra Norte District in Quito, Ecuador, organized the first Korean Church of the Nazarene on February 15, 2009. This is also the first organized Korean Church in the South American Region.
District Superintendent Hernan Puga preached at and directed the organization service in which 30 Korean brothers and sisters joined the Church of the Nazarene. A group of Spanish-speaking Nazarene pastors and other guests helped in the festivities. The service was translated back and forth between Korean and Spanish. Following the service, everyone enjoyed a wonderful Korean feast.
Pastor Kang Joon Young is a student of Korean Nazarene University. He preaches to the congregation on Sundays over the Internet and personally comes to visit the church every couple of months. He has been granted a district minister's license from the Ecuador district. Praise God for His creativity in bringing Nazarenes together to fulfill His great commission.

Incubus (plural incubi) was a demon species.
Incubi appear human and maintain their appearance over decades. When they employ their hypnotic powers their eyes turn solid black flecked in white. Their blood is colored blue.

The impact of the oil from the Gulf of Mexico spill now soiling the Louisiana shoreline was felt far inland on Thursday as P&J Oyster Company, the country's oldest oyster processor and distributor, ceased its shucking operations.
"The bottom line is that the guys that we purchase from are not working," said Sal Sunseri, referring to the oyster harvesters who've been idled by the mass closure of harvesting areas and freshwater diversions. "Today's our last day of shucking."
Sunseri, who co-owns P&J with his brother Al, said the French Quarter-based company will not shut down entirely. "We may periodically have some oysters, but it's not a continuing production," he said.
The brothers are currently looking to bring oysters in from the West Coast, a jarring turn of events for a company that has dealt exclusively in Louisiana oysters for 134 years.
The P&J Oyster brand is prominently displayed on New Orleans restaurant menus of every price scale as a mark of excellence and provenance. Al Sunseri said the quality of local oysters they'd been scrambling to buy from unfamiliar sources did not meet the company's standards.
"They weren't what we would typically sell," he said, "and they cost 30 percent to 40 percent more than we usually pay. I wasn't going to continue to throw good money after bad."
P&J's many customers were committed to P&J for reasons that go beyond the product.
"Having the guy down the street deliver oysters that were shucked just that morning to our doorstep is an amazing thing," said John Besh, who featured P&J Oysters at his five New Orleans area restaurants. "The relationship is so valuable, knowing that I can count on them to source the best oysters from the saltiest areas and deliver them in a consistent, uniform manner."
"They provide wonderful oysters," said Darin Nesbit, chef at the Bourbon House, whose relationship with P&J is so tight Sal Sunseri helped shuck oysters the first night the restaurant opened following Hurricane Katrina. "Even in times of trouble, they've always taken care of us."
P&J was started in 1876 by John Popich, a Croatian immigrant who took on partner Joseph Jurisich at the turn of the century. In 1921, Popich and Jurisich purchased a shucking house at the corner of Toulouse and North Rampart streets. Alfred Sunseri, the current owners' grandfather, who was married to Popich's cousin, joined the company soon after.
The downsizing cost 11 full-time employees their jobs. Sal Sunseri said his goal moving forward is to stay in business long enough for the crisis to pass.
"We don't want to become a K&B, McKenzie's or Schwegmann's," he said. "We want to prayerfully get our waters back. We want our family of farmers to be able to pass on their tradition to their kids. We want to be there for them when they come back to be able to provide for our restaurants."
"The same thing happening over at P&J is happening over here also," said John Tesvich, owner of Ameripure Oyster Co. in Franklin, La. His company sells pasteurized oysters to restaurants across the country.
Tesvich said Ameripure may be able to hold on a little longer because it cultivates and harvests its own oysters, supplemented by suppliers. "But they're on the point of depletion now," said Tesvich, adding he's hoping for "a few more good weeks."
Oyster growers and harvesters are facing a double threat.
On the one hand, oil gushing from the blown-out well off Louisiana could contaminate the beds, killing the oysters or rendering them unsafe to eat. On the other hand, a method of fighting the encroaching oil by opening inland water diversion gates in hopes of pushing the oil back also could kill oysters. The fresh inland water dilutes saltier waters oysters need to thrive.
Complicating the problem is the fact that it's spawning season for young oysters that usually take 18 to 24 months to grow to market size.

Hi BTolle,
When I tried printing it, it printed on two pages (one half of the directions on the first page and one half of the directions on the second page). Maybe your printer ran out of paper for the second half?

why is only one page of the directions printing. It gives only half of the directions!

MINNEAPOLIS, April 24, 2006 — Dr. Robert Hockin, an adjunct faculty member with Capella University's School of Business and Technology, has been named to the Board of Examiners for the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. Hockin has served as an examiner for the award several times during the previous decade.
"This has been a long-standing interest of mine. When the Baldrige Award first became known to me, I thought this is something fascinating and unique," Hockin said. "It was the first-ever national recognition for companies that are doing outstanding work. When I looked at the process itself, I felt it was also the single best organizational assessment tool I had ever seen or used."
The Baldrige Award is given by the president of the United States to manufacturing, service, small business, education, and health care organizations that are judged to be outstanding in seven areas: leadership; strategic planning; customer and market focus; measurement, analysis, and knowledge management; human resource focus; process management; and results. This year is also a pilot year for nonprofits and government agencies as a new Baldrige Award category. Malcolm Baldrige was secretary of commerce from 1981 until his death in 1987, and was a proponent of quality initiatives.
Hockin has been an adjunct faculty member in Capella University's School of Business and Technology since 1994. Capella is an accredited online university that serves more than 14,500 students and is a pioneer in online education.
"I enjoy the teaching. It is very personally rewarding," said Hockin, who also serves as a senior consulting executive in the Health Services group at BearingPoint. "Professionally, teaching also helps to keep me at the front of the game. In other words, thought leadership that is critical to my profession as a consultant requires that I need to stay current with all the new ideas and thoughts in the field. Teaching helps me do that."

Minors Should Wear Helmet While Barrel Racing
We met Chayni Chamberlain for the first time, when she was 9 years old. She caught our attention while she was competing for 1 Million Dollars, showing her amazing skills as a rider, owning a horse that we can only have in our dreams.
Along with her team she seems unstoppable, because they are constantly doing a great job together. That's why we are her fans for a lifetime. She is a great team with her horse known as Dat Flowingbunny (FlowJo).
But one thing scares us and many people agree with that as we could read from the youtube comments. The thing is that Chayni is not wearing a helmet. So, share your opinion with us. The question is, if minors should wear a helmet while barrel racing.
It's a not a question of Chayni's abilities or talent, we all know that she is perfect in what she does, but it's for her safety!

Brought to you by The Corner and NZ On Air, Awesome Feeling 7 is an online event running through NZ Music Month 2013, culminating in the release of a free downloadable compilation of 20 New Zealand songs and the words written about them. Each weekday for 20 days we'll post streaming+downloadable tracks from emerging local artists, accompanied by artist and track profiles authored by Corner contributors.
Ain't nobody like West Coast Bullies. 'I Want Bacon' is a crazy stew of live improvisation, wonky synths and looped/manipulated dialogue samples, the latter a naggingly catchy expanded loop of the titular demand. Straddling genres, the Wellington duo – the prolific Reece McNaughten (of Napier's immortal Big Flip The Massive) on drums & Tim Dustow on keys – have just self-released their debut album, Sluhm-Guhl-yuhn. Covering a shitload of musical ground, at times it evokes a contemporary update of the mid-20thC musical anarchy of Looney Tunes-associated composers/performers like Carl Stalling & Raymond Scott, or Spike Jones' canon-trolling; vibe-wise they marry hip-hop swagger/braggadocio to abject Butthole Surfers/Devo creepiness. They trade just as well in the menace of 'When I Die' and the jagged, panic-inducing 'Dwell Like A Ghost' as the groggy opulence of 'Slumgullion' and the hesitant post-rock/chiptunes hybrid of 'Slimsey'. Musical magpies with a keen ear for anything of sonic interest, you can detect the inspiration of Californian drummer/artist Zach Hill (Death Grips, Hella, and a million other projects); they've been getting into producers like Diplo & Hudson Mohawke as listening a lot to Shabazz Palaces and Chance The Rapper. As well as looking to release some more live videos and some "weird visual stuff" for the new album, West Coast Bullies are currently working on another batch of tunes for their second album – apparently "something quite different to what we have done so far".

It's my favourite day. Sunday for me is the start of the weekend. It's a lazy day in which I rest before the onslaught of a busy week. As I was lying in The jacuzzi I realised that I was thinking about what I was going to do next and it dawned on me that I do that a lot. I am always living in the next task, instead of being in the current moment. There is always a lot to do, but why waste time on the future when I could be enjoying such a wonderful treat now. So I stopped. I looked around me. The sun was shining, there was a gentle breeze, the Palm trees looked amazing against the sky, the water was warm and I was sharing precious time with my husband. Today I spent longer in the jacuzzi than I have since the summer, because I decided I didn't need to rush to do something else. Result… More contentment.
Since getting out and drying off, I have still done everything I set my mind to do today. So nothing lost and everything gained.
My husband's new publicity poster is photoshopped and completed. I have ironed sheets and put them on our bed. Nothing nicer than clean sheets, I have typed up another chapter of my book and now I am blogging while my husband cooks dinner. We have rung both Mums and caught up with their news so all is well with the world.
Today I was struck by a new idea for a book, so now I have 4 in my head. I can't write fast enough, but I am very happy to be back writing. There is a wonderful release in putting words together. It allows me to be creative and I can express any emotion I am feeling without making it about me. The scary thing is, the more I write, the more ideas I have. I just hope that I am a good enough writer so people want to read more. That's going to be the crux of the matter.
Watch this space…..

The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) reported steady growth in cargo volume in the first two months of the year, with containerized throughput rising 1.91% to 822,029 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) from 806,662 TEUs in the same months last year.
For January to February, both containerized and non-containerized cargo volume rose 7.67% to 27.3 million metric tons (mmt) compared with 25.36 mmt year-on-year.
Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) remained the country's main international gateway, accounting for 11.39% or 3.11 mmt of the total cargo volume. MICT handled the largest volume of foreign containerized cargo at 277,203 TEUs, followed by Manila South Harbor with 143,339 TEUs.
The biggest volume of domestic containerized cargo at 138,054 TEUs was handled by North Harbor port.
PPA general manager Juan Sta. Ana attributed the cargo volume growth to expansion in the local economy that spurred product shipments and movement of people.
In particular, Sta. Ana cited the significant rise in cargo volume handled in 19 port management offices (PMOs) with Iligan recording the highest increase at 103.25%, on the back of mineral ore shipments by Semirara Corp. The PMO of San Fernando came in second with a 55.35% increase because of higher sand exports.
Foreign cargo transshipped in the Philippines jumped 12.12% to 15.04 mmt from 13.41 mmt while domestic cargo that moved within the country inched up 2.7% to 12.26 mmt from 11.94 mmt.
Sta Ana said the increase in 19 PMOs was enough to offset the decline in five PMOs, including the 36.4% throughput drop in Manila South Harbor followed by the 18.4% slide in Surigao and the 7.21% contraction in Iloilo.
Sta. Ana said the performance of South Harbor was dragged down by a big drop in domestic cargo volume handled at Pasig as well as the drop in import volume at the base port.
He also blamed the decline in Surigao's port performance to lower exports of nickel at the private ports of Taganito and Hinatuan.
Meanwhile, passenger traffic in the first two months of the year rose 3.6%. The domestic passenger volume reached 7.89 million or 272,882 more than the 7.62 million last year.
"The numbers still reflect the impact of competition posed by airlines offering budget fares," Sta Ana said.
The agency notes a continuing shift of domestic sea travelers to air transport amid the fare war among low-cost carriers.

Sunflower Seeds
by styleshake
I had a short but wonderful Thanksgiving vacation in London last week and got a chance to check out a small part of "Sunflower Seeds" by Ai Weiwei at Tate Modern. The original sculpture consists of 100 million of hand-painted porcelain sunflower seeds that look identical but are actually unique. It took 1,600 people to manufacture these seeds in two and a half years. Ai Weiwei provokes thought on the "Made in China" phenomenon, the relationship between the rulers and citizens in China, and individuals vs. masses with this artwork. Too bad I couldn't see the original setup of this when you could walk on the seeds and pick them up. Apparently, the interaction of visitors with the sculpture creates a dust that can be a health risk and people have been stealing the seeds….

SOURCE: Bauer North America
September 26, 2011 09:00 ET
MICHIGAN CITY, IN--(Marketwire - Sep 26, 2011) - The Bauer Group announces the release of two new high quality press screw separators designed for small farms and waste processing operations with limited energy resources: the Bauer COMPACT and Fan Separator SOLIDRY.
With a maximum throughput of 15 cubic yards per hour, and our legendary quality, COMPACT and SOLIDRY are ideal for a wide range of agricultural applications, including dairy farms up to 300 head. The smaller footprint of these low-priced alternatives to standard separators makes this equipment easier to install and use.
COMPACT and SOLIDRY are economical. No need for a hydraulic or compressed air connection. Screen and auger wear is minimal, due to the low dry matter content (28% or less) in the plug. Both units come standard with a NEMA-flanged gearbox suitable for use with motors up to 5 hp.
How do they work?
A rotating auger inside a full floating screen separates solids and liquids. The waste material is gravity fed to the first part of the screen. Then the material is further extruded and discharged from the separator through the mouth piece. Dry matter content is controlled with an output regulator installed on the separator.
Come see COMPACT and SOLIDRY at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, WI, October 4-8, booths 1213-1214.
The Bauer Group at a Glance
The Bauer Group, based in Voitsberg, Austria, with North American offices in Michigan City, Ind., is an international leader in irrigation and slurry technology. Bauer and its affiliate FAN Separator have more than 75 dealers in North America and an extensive spare parts inventory.

A rise in gasoline futures helped pull oil prices higher on Friday following news of a unit shutdown at a Canadian East Coast refinery.
While the trading volume for the Brent crude contract was higher, gains on the U.S. futures contract outpaced those for the international benchmark. Brent's premium to WTI narrowed to $4.16 a barrel during the session, after a $3 per barrel spike earlier this week that sent the spread to $6 for the first time since late June.
Continue Reading Below
Brent and U.S. crude found early support from positive U.S. manufacturing data and disruptions of Libyan exports. A short flurry of activity saw volume spike and crude prices jump 80 cents between 10:35 a.m. EDT (1435 GMT) and 10:37 a.m.
Market watchers tied the sudden move to weakness in the dollar after the U.S. Commerce Department reported a bigger-than-expected decline in U.S. new home sales to the lowest in nine months. CME Group said there was nothing unusual or irregular about the trades.
Gasoline prices shot up after energy intelligence provider Genscape reported the shutdown of a 70,000 barrel per day (bpd) fluid catalytic cracking unit at Irving Oil's 300,000 bpd Saint John refinery in New Brunswick.
Irving confirmed the unit had been shut for unplanned maintenance, and trade sources said it could be down for a week.
Further support for gasoline came from news of another shutdown of Monroe Energy's gasoline-making catalytic cracking unit at its 185,000 bpd Trainer, Pennsylvania refinery. The company said later on Friday that the unit will back online within the next 24 to 48 hours.
Brent crude rose $1.14 to settle at $111.04 a barrel, off earlier highs of $111.23 a barrel.
U.S. crude rose $1.39 to $106.42 a barrel, off a session peak of $106.94 and narrowing the contract's discount to Brent to $4.62 a barrel.
Brent trading volumes were 8 percent below their 30-day moving average at just under 500,000 contracts, while U.S. crude was nearly 40 percent below that average at 370,000 contracts.
September U.S. gasoline futures rose 4.24 cents to settle at $3.0072 a gallon. The premium of the September contract to the October contracts, which blew out to 14.08 cents from 12.64 cents on Thursday right after the first reports of the Irving refinery outage, settled at 13.65 cents.
Oil markets have mostly been in a $5 range for the last eight weeks, with Brent swinging between $105 and $110 per barrel since early July and U.S. crude between $103 and $108.
Prices are apt to move from one side to another rapidly the longer the market stays in a range, said Gene McGillian, an analyst at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
Light trading volume during summer added to the volatility.
"During vacation time when you have light volume, you do get exaggerated price moves. You can push it a lot further a lot faster," he said.
Libya's largest crude oil export terminal, Es Sider, and the oil port of Zueitina remain closed, Deputy Oil Minister Omar Shakmak said, although some improvement was seen at other ports. The outages are the worst disruption of Libya's oil sector since the 2011 civil war.
