Universal Pictures is close to nabbing Brett Ratner to helm the sequel to 1988's bounty hunter film "Midnight Run.â€
The studio also hired David Elliott and Paul Lovett to rewrite the script. Actor Robert De Niro will reprise his role as bounty hunter Jack Walsh in the sequel.

Elliot and Lovett were writers on "G.I. Joe: The rise of Cobra†and currently working on penning the sequel to "Four Brothers.â€
Tim Dowling was the original screenwriter on the project. There is no word if Grodin will reprise his role as the runaway accountant Jonathan Mardukas.

Your home-based business (online and/or offline) is much more than "just" a business. Or should be.
In the information overload that is the daily fare of netpreneurs, there is so much emphasis on technique, technology, strategy, and how-to-do this or that aspect of Internet marketing that some important things get left out of the equation.
Things like passion, heart, soul, ministry and divine guidance. Things like prayer, and building the Kingdom of God.
But isn't a home business all about making money you ask? No, I answer. It is not.
It is about finding your true place in God's scheme of things, it is about discovering your talents, your passions, your spiritual gifts, and your way to help and serve others.
A home business is not a job and not a meal ticket. This is one of the big unexamined assumptions.
Also, there are no magic bullets when it comes to building a home business. No get rich quick, no effortless wealth. And you would be surprised by how many entrepreneurs still fall for these fantasies.
I will be addressing some of the themes touched upon in this post in subsequent posts.
I have reached an age and level experience that lead me to be quite comfortable about expressing my views and opinions.
Abundant Blessings,
Cynthia Kiteley Lee
CEO & Founder, Christian Home Business Association, Inc.

India Saudi Arabia Relations
India and Saudi Arabia have traditionally enjoyed close and friendly relations since independence, which was in continuance with the centuries old close economic and socio-cultural ties. However, bilateral ties drifted apart a little bit in the decades following 1950s, partly due to Pakistan's machinations and partly due to India's perceived closeness to Soviet Union in the Cold War era. Nevertheless, in recent years the relationship has blossomed once again with the historic visit of King Abdullah to India as the Chief Guest at Republic Day celebrations in 2006 and PM Manmohan Singh's visit to the Kingdom in 2010, which elevated the relationship to that of a strategic partnership.
India has high stakes in the stability, peace and prosperity of the largest nation in the Arab World due to the presence of two of the holiest shrines in Islam – Mecca and Medina – in the Kingdom. These shrines have intense emotional influence on Indian Muslims, about 170000 of which make the Haj pilgrimage to Mecca each year. Moreover, Saudi also has a large Indian semi-permanent workforce. Recent estimates put the size of Indian workers in Saudi Arabia at 2.8 million, making it the largest expatriate community in the Kingdom. Any disruptions in jobs for the Indian workers in Saudi will have social, economic and political repercussions back home.
The recent Nitaqat policy implemented by Saudi to give more job opportunities to the domestic workforce, did not have any significant impact on the Indian labour there. At the expiry of second and final grace period, only about 140,000 Indians had to exit Saudi, that too without facing any penal action and with no ban on their return on a regular visa. This favourable treatment of the Indian workers shows that Saudi gives a lot of weight to its relationship with India.
Further, the trade relationship between the countries is strong with bilateral trade touching 43 billion US $ in 2012-13. However, a major part of it is Indian crude oil imports from Saudi, which is also India's largest supplier of crude oil.
India also shares many security concerns with Saudi Arabia, with cooperation between the nations already strong in intelligence sharing related to terrorist activities in money laundering, arms and human trafficking, drugs, etc.
The recent visit by Saudi's Crown Prince to India was a reaffirmation of the strategic relationship between the countries. It witnessed the signing of a host of MoUs, the major one being in the field of defence cooperation. It is expected to help defence personnel of both countries to work closely and learn from experiences of each other.
Moreover, the Crown Prince also emphasised on the private sector of Saudi, especially the cash-flush Saudi investment funds, to put money in the Indian petrochemical, pharmaceutical and medical equipment sectors. The Indian president too invited Saudi investment into development of Indian infrastructure including highways, ports, airports, etc. Even at present, companies from both countries have made investments in each other's territories in varied fields such as oil exploration, software, consultancy, etc.
The future years are certain to see even more strengthening in India-Saudi ties. Just like India has high stakes in the peace and prosperity of the Gulf country, so should Saudi be convinced to invest its wealth in Indian infrastructure and hydrocarbon industry so that it also has long-term stakes in India's continued economic growth and prosperity. This will ultimately result in ensuring stability and development on both sides.

I cringe every time I see a game in someone's collection with the price sticker still attached. Why do I hate price stickers so much? Because they're ugly, they indicate that the game was bought used (or "gutted"), and they serve no real purpose. If you're reading this and you still have price stickers on any of your games, PEEL THEM OFF NOW! You don't leave price tags on other things in your home, do you? (At least I hope not.)
The easiest way to remove most stickers is to use a fingernail to lift a corner and then peel the sticker slowly off. (Be careful – if you dig too hard with your fingernail, you could put a dent in the dust jacket.) If one corner doesn't work, try a different one. For some of the more stubborn labels, the use of a blow dryer to warm the adhesive can sometimes help.
If the label leaves any sticky residue behind, there are two main courses of action you can take. The first is to get an inch or two of masking tape and use that to try and peel off the residue. This works about half of the time and has the benefit of being quick and easy. If the residue still refuses to come off, however, you should consider using Goo Gone or some other specialty cleaning solution. Apply a little with a soft cloth and it should do the trick.

Iran's Growing Nuclear Threat
By Joe Mariani (06/20/2004)
For years, the Iranian government has been playing games with the world about its nuclear program, claiming that they were only interested in peaceful nuclear development. That lie is about to be disproved in the most terrible way possible -- by the emergence of Iran as a nuclear power.
For reference, ordinary natural uranium has an atomic weight of 238. Only .72 percent of naturally-occurring uranium consists of an unstable isotope with a weight of 235. Various complex methods can be used to separate the lighter uranium from the mix; the most common is by gas centrifuge, of the sort that was found buried under a rosebush in Iraq. Highly-enriched uranium (HEU) contains more than 20 percent Uranium-235. Weapons-grade HEU consists of more than 90 percent pure U-235. A power-generating reactor can be fueled with lower grades of uranium; there is no need for HEU unless you want a sustained nuclear fission reaction -- in other words, a nuclear bomb.
After months of playing hide-and-seek with the International Atomic Energy Agency, Iran has taken a hard-line stance against any restrictions on its nuclear program. Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said, "Iran has a high technical capability and has to be recognized by the international community as a member of the nuclear club. This is an irreversible path." The "nuclear club" consists of those countries that admit to having nuclear weapons -- the US, the UK, France, Russia, China, and most recently Pakistan and India. North Korea claims to have working nuclear weapons, but has not yet openly tested one, and Israel is suspected of having them. Libya was close to achieving nuclear capability, but Moammar Ghaddafi wisely gave up his ambitions in that direction after the US-led coalition removed Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq in March 2003. Though Iran claimed to have halted its uranium enrichment program, inspectors from the IAEA have repeatedly found traces of highly-enriched uranium at multiple sites in Iran.
Iran has been caught in lies regarding its nuclear weapons programs before, and has covered up very badly. When IAEA inspectors tried in May 2004 to visit suspicious sites they had seen only months earlier, they found that the sites themselves had vanished. The buildings that the inspectors believed contained working enrichment facilities were gone, and in their place were freshly-planted flowerbeds. The Iranians pretended that no buildings had ever been there, even when shown aerial and satellite photographs of the missing buildings. Now, they refuse to keep up even a weak pretense. What else could it mean but the imminence of their nuclear ambition being fulfilled?
A radical fundamentalist government which sponsors global terrorism gaining nuclear capability is a horror that cannot be allowed to happen. If terrorists are willing to blow themselves up in cars packed with explosives or strap on "bomb belts" in order to kill innocent civilians in restaurants and buses, why would they balk at using nuclear weapons in the same way? If they believe they will be rewarded in the afterlife for killing a few children on a schoolbus, what reward do they think they'll receive for wiping an entire city off the map? It's no longer a matter of if, but when. If we allow Tehran to create nuclear weapons, how long will it be before we wake up to find that a nuclear bomb has destroyed a major city like Tel Aviv, Baghdad, Paris, New York, London or Washington DC? Every place on Earth that terrorists have struck, they would have attacked with nuclear weapons if it had been possible. Next time, it might be.
What can be done to stop this threat? If we think we have the time -- and that depends entirely on our intelligence services, which have not exactly had a good track record in the Middle East -- we can attempt to impose sanctions. Most of Iran's oil exports are shipped through the Straits of Hormuz, which can be blockaded with just a small percentage of America's naval force. With the bulk of its oil income halted, the Iranian economy would collapse, but not overnight. Will we have the determination to keep up the blockade long enough? Other oil-exporting nations would undoubtedly halt their exports to any participating nations, and gas and oil prices would rise higher than ever before. (One has to wonder whether this is why President Bush refuses to release oil from the nation's emergency reserve.) The only other option is to strike Iran's suspected nuclear facilities before they can enrich enough uranium to build a weapon, although knowing their locations depends on our intelligence services as well.
The only certainty either way is that the "mainstream" media, Democrats and Liberals would vilify President Bush even more than they already do, if that's even possible. One really has to wonder whose side they're on. Of course, they wouldn't be too kind to him if whole cities began to disappear, either.
Joe Mariani was born and raised in New Jersey. He now lives in Pennsylvania, where the gun laws are less restrictive and taxes are lower. Joe always thought of himself as politically neutral until he saw how far left the left had really gone after 9/11.
Knowing our intelligence it is better if we leave this to Israel. The Mossad has way better intelligence in Iran than we do.

This post begins a fresh season of gleaning from the most recent graduates of our Discipleship Training School here in YWAM Byron Bay.
Every week we will be posting a new Testimony, sharing all things that glorify & lift up God, to encourage any & all who read. Both simple & profound, each story gives personal insight from some of our favourite people about our loving Father & things they've experienced over the last 6 months.
Testimony from DTS
Nadja Wälchli-Schranz
I want to share a little story what God taught me during my DTS.
It was in that week where we got teaching about Evangelism. I was a bit afraid of this week, cause i wouldn't consider evangelism as one of my favourite things to do or see it as one of my strength.
On one of these days, Stevie, our speaker from Hawaii, hit me with the following statement. He said; "If you don`t have a heart for the lost, you`ll never really know Gods heart." Wow! Yes, I wanted to know God better, wanted to know Gods heart, and I knew that God cares about the lost – but I didn't feel having that heart.. So I thought, if it is really that important to God, then he has to show me his heart. So I prayed, "God, please show me people the way you see them, show me your heart for them and break my heart for what breaks yours." I didn't think a lot about this prayer, but about two weeks later, God started to put people on my heart! And not only that! I started feeling probably just a little bit how God feels about them, but i started weeping and crying, felt such a strong need to pray for them, sensing that I might be the only person praying for them! I felt real heart-pain, just a sense how much God wants to have a relationship with them, and how much He's longing for them.
God showed me, that this is gonna be a big part in my future, seeing Gods heart for people, and to stand in the gap for them.

Day 1: Lenten Love Challenge
So today is the first day of Lent and it's also Valentines Day. What an interesting combination. I don't think I'll have a chance to go to a service but I decided I wanted to do something to mark this time of the year this year. So I created my own challenge the Lenten Love Challenge. Lent seems to be about a time of deprivation. Taking away something you love. Sacrificing for Jesus one small thing to show honor and gratitude for all He sacrificed for you. I understand the concept, of course. But what I think is missing more than my willingness to sacrifice is my willingness to see myself as God sees me.
What to do?
1) Journal every morning for 40 days exploring ways that God loves you and that you can, in turn, love yourself
2) Give up criticising yourself and trying to earn love
3) Give up people pleasing and hiding who you really are
4) Write a Lenten Love List (like a Christmas List) asking God for what you truly want
If you then being evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him. Matt 7:11
Wow, 7:11! That's my birthday. What a beautiful message to me today. That You want to give me good gifts and all I need to do is ask. I have been neglectful in believing You wanted to give me good gifts, and also have fallen short in the asking. I guess I think they should just show up if it is Your will or maybe I also feel selfish for asking for things for myself. And children don't ask for gifts for other people they ask for them for themselves. That's totally normal.
So please forgive me for not asking. Forgive me for thinking that if it was to be it's up to me. Here is my Lenten Love List which I am asking for. I guess it's like a Christmas list, but for Lent. And I'm going to be totally honest and just ask. Because you said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened."
I know that I cannot do these things of my own strength. Show me how we can be partners and help me focus my time and energy with you on these projects. Give me direction on what I need to cut out of my life to be fully present. I know gifts are freely given, so I believe that you want me to have these things.
You wish above all things that I prosper and be in good health even as my soul prospers.
These next 40 days, let it be a time of purity and soul prospering. Let it be a time of receiving your love for me entirely. Let me be overwhelmed with your love. For you didn't die for me so I would have to eat scraps from the table like the dogs. You want me to sit with you at the table. A child of the most high God.
I will admit that I am afraid that I am insufficient. I am scared that I am not enough. I know that I'm not enough in and of myself. Which is why you came down to earth. I still am having a hard time believing it. Understanding the whole Easter story and that you were and are the only way. Is that true? I'm sorry for asking. You know I love you. However weak and fickle my love has been I truly am trying.
Casting all my cares upon Him because he cares for you. I know you're not judging me and you know my thoughts already. I think what's most important is that I share them honestly. For too long I've tried to pray in such a way that says the right thing, Sugar coating my feelings. Pretending. As if you don't know my thoughts already. Who was I fooling? Myself only. I think in part prayer is an admitting to ourselves our feelings and exposing them for what they are. To you. Self-honesty. Right?
You do care for me. That's so fun and reassuring. Sometimes I feel like I am the one caring for everyone else. And then I wonder who really cares about me? And am I selfish for wanting to be noticed? Wanting someone to care.
For this Lenten season I am going to focus 'Not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as what needs to be changed in me and my attitudes." This is a good version of Acceptance.
Let me focus on the good qualities in others. Let me set healthy loving boundaries to protect my own energy. Let me see others as you see them. Let me, at every turn. know that you WANT me to find ease. You WANT to see your child thrive and succeed. You WANT to give me good gifts. How could I believe otherwise? Would I want to see my own child suffer? Of course not. If they made choices that caused suffering I suppose I could not prevent it. But if they asked for my help would I not bend over backwards to help? Of course I would.
Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart and you will find rest for your souls. Matt 11:29.
Yes. I will do that. I will commit to asking. I will believe you want to give good gifts to me. I will remember that Your good thoughts to me number more than the grains of sand in the ocean. I will rest in the truth that I am perfectly and wonderfully made. I am not trying to earn your attention or your love. I already have it. You already see me. For that I am truly grateful.
I will let my light shine before humanity so they may see my life and know that without You none of it would be possible. Let any success, any love, any smile, that radiates from me, point back towards you. To whom all credit is due.
Thank you for loving me and giving me the power to carry out your will in the world. What a responsibility and privilege. I will do my best and with your help WE can. I love you and I'll write again tomorrow.

Tinnitus is a condition that can be caused by a number of factors. No matter what the cause is, it is a very annoying condition that can interfere with a normal life. Follow the advice in the article below for helpful advice on relieving the symptoms and coping with tinnitus.
Plug your ears whenever you head to the pool, if you suffer from tinnitus. Water can enter your ears when you swim, and that can make tinnitus symptoms worse. Wearing ear plugs in the shower is a good idea.
Many people have had great success with reflexology as a means of getting control over tinnitus. Make sure you locate a professional that is experienced and has references. Do research on their experience, and be sure to choose someone whom you can trust.
Try to reduce the symptoms of your tinnitus by deliberately attacking the stress in your life. If your job is causing stress, find a new one! Spend time with those you love and occupy your additional free time with relaxing hobbies.
Time management is a great way to reduce stress levels and keep tinnitus at bay. Investing in effective time management software will help you to keep track of both your business and personal lives so you don't miss any events and can instead relax and know that everything is under control.
Many people who have tinnitus find relief from their condition by utilizing sound therapy. There is a simple experiment that you can try to see if sound therapy will help you cope with your tinnitus. Tune your radio between two stations. You should hear a static sound when you have tuned it between stations. If the static sound from the radio masks your tinnitus or makes it less noticeable (partially masks it), then sound therapy will probably help your condition.
If you suffer from tinnitus, you can find great relief in relaxation techniques if you participate in them a few times a day. Lowering your blood pressure and relieving stress can help to reduce the volume of the sound in your ears, thereby helping you to rest, especially at bedtime.
Try different strategies when trying to go to sleep with tinnitus. Make sure the room you are sleeping in is completely dark. When you lie down, try to think of relaxing things, such as ocean waves or relaxing on a beach after sundown. Keeping your mind occupied with relaxing thoughts will help you fall asleep fast.
If you suffer from tinnitus, here is a tip that many swear by. Try drinking some apple cider vinegar mixed with a little honey and water. Do this twice a day for some relief of the irritating symptoms of tinnitus. Many naturopaths insist on apple cider vinegar as part of a healthy diet.
As stated above, there are many causes of tinnitus, from sudden exposure to loud noises or to earwax build-up. In the article above, there are many tips on dealing with your tinnitus and getting on with your life. Follow these tips and do not let tinnitus make your life difficult anymore.

Mark has recently become the latest Chairman of our Care Standards Committee.
Mark's brother Gary has been living at the Torpoint Nursing Centre for the last six months. When invited to take the role Mark accepted without hesitation.
"The team here have given Gary an awful lot of time, energy and support, when asked about becoming Chairman I felt that I really wanted to give something back".
Mark also holds the view that he is well placed to keep a watching brief over the standard of care that service users receive.
"I tend to come and visit Gary pretty much every day. Due to work commitments the timing of my visits usually varies from day to day. This has given me the opportunity to get to know many of the staff and see the day to day issues for myself. When we decided to place Gary here we were impressed that Torcare had such a committee in place, we have experience of several other establishments that did not have such a committee."
There are only so many words that we can use to describe the level of care and support that can be expected from our team at Torcare. In reality, nothing explains our service better than hearing directly from some of those who've experienced our care first-hand.Read More..

A Feedback Framework
Introduce yourself to the SBIBI framework, and learn how to use it to deliver feedback effectively in any situation.
Templates, checklists, and frameworks abound in legal practice. They play a critical role in ensuring that clients get high quality work on time and within budget. Indeed, they're so useful that many lawyers wish they had a template, checklist, or framework for supervisory skills, like giving feedback.
As it turns out, they do. It's a feedback delivery framework known as SBIBI, which stands for
• Situation,
• Behavior,
• Impact,
• recommended alternative Behavior, and
• the Impact of that...

For those of you who have diabetes, you may be familiar with artificial sweetener. To reduce glucose levels in the blood, you begin to divert sugar and sweetener consumption similar to artificial sweetener that will reduce the risk of hyperglycemia. It is because the sugar you usually know is one cause of the rise of blood glucose.
Most artificial sweeteners are not entirely safe. Some artificial sweeteners are made from the extraction of natural sweetener fruit or fructose. Meanwhile, fructose in a single form like this works with adverse effects on the body, especially on the kidneys and liver. Meanwhile, the others are the same chemical sweeteners harmful to the kidneys and liver. Those with diabetes then develop the risk of long-term kidney and liver damage.
After a long time, people in the world know stevia. This artificial sweetener also includes a natural sweetener because it comes from stevia leaf extract that has a sweet taste up to 40 times higher than the sweetness in sugarcane.
Stevia leaves
Stevia grows in the Central American region. Stevia is a scientific name for the species of shrubs that reside in the Asteraceae family. In many types of these species, there is one kind of plant named Latin Stevia rebaudiana which proved to have a robust sweet taste and has many benefits of protection and nutrients to the body.
So far, stevia is traditionally known in the American continent as a natural sweetener for some food and beverage products locally. Local people dub this leaf as a sweetleaf because it tastes very sweet.
In its natural form, stevia leaves have a sweet effect up to 40 times that of the natural sweetener. While the extract from the leaves has a sweet taste exceeds the natural sugar. Some artificial sweeteners made from stevia in a dose of 1 teaspoon will have a sweet taste equivalent to 8 tablespoons of regular sugar. High levels of sweetness in stevia are derived from many glycoside sweetening components such as stevioside, rebaudioside, steviolbioside, and glucosides. Stevia has a shallow calorie content, does not affect glycemic load, and also does not affect the production of insulin in the body.
The stevia leaves become an ingredient in many sweetening products by processing glycoside components in stevia and presenting them in a concentrated formula. While some other sweetener products are a combination of stevia products or stevia component concentrates with other sweetening ingredients.
What are the benefits of stevia?
In some literature said that stevia is the most healthy artificial sweetener when compared to other sweeteners. If some sugar substitute sweeteners on the market hurt liver, kidney, and worsening the condition of diabetes, stevia plays a role in helping to overcome hyperglycemia while helping to overcome some other complaints.
You can find some nutrients such as iron, potassium, magnesium, vitamin A, vitamin C, and sodium in fresh stevia leaves. Some nutrients you can get in extraction and component concentrates. Here are the benefits of stevia for health and a healthy reason why stevia is a sugar substitute:
1. Stevia cures hyperglycemia and diabetes
The study explains that diabetic patients who routinely replace their sugar consumption with 1 gram of stevioside daily will significantly decrease blood glucose. Stevia proved to be more efficient in controlling blood sugar rise. Stevia does not increase levels of calories and carbohydrates, even in concentrations of 0%. Stevia works to stimulate the production of insulin to encourage a decrease in glucose levels.
2. Stevia helps maintain blood pressure stability
One of the components of glycosides is stevioside that has been shown to play a role in the process of decreasing blood pressure. Studies have proven how many patients with stevioside therapy show a reasonably efficient drop in blood pressure.
The properties of stevioside maintain blood pressure stability in a safe level and do not decrease significantly. Therapy for 2 years with stevioside will lead to a reduction in blood pressure levels. Stevioside will also help lower the risk of heart swelling, related to high blood pressure cases.
3. Stevia strengthens bones
A study was proving that therapy with stevia would help improve bone quality, this also demonstrated in research on chicken egg shells. Calcium in high stevia helps increase bone density in chickens.
4. Stevia for anti-cancer
Anti-cancer is also another component of stevia that makes it can exceed other sweeteners. Meanwhile, some sugar substitute sweeteners increase the risk of cancer in the long term. Stevia has an antioxidant component that can help lower the risk of cancer.
5. Stevia helps maintain weight and encourages metabolism
The bacteria in the intestine will consume glycosides in stevia. Glycosides work like probiotics in the gut. It makes glycosides do not get into the bloodstream and glycosides do not affect blood glucose levels. So it means it will not change calorie levels either.
Sucrose has a very high-calorie content, so using stevia as a sugar substitute will make some sweet foods that are known to be more calorie-friendly to you who are running low-calorie diet and weight loss.
Stevia does not increase the calorie and sugar levels in the body, so naturally, the body will perform the function of reserve metabolism by producing energy from fat and sugar reserves in the body. The good news is that glycoside turns into steviol that will encourage the liver to work stronger to run the metabolism.
Is it safe to consume Stevia?
Many people are doubtful about the safety of sugar substitutes. Most people find information on how some artificial sweeteners in circulation have side effects on insulin production performance, disrupt metabolism, interfere with liver and kidney performance and may even work as a carcinogen.
What about stevia? Stevia is a sugar substitute sweetener that is safe and has a relatively very low risk. Up to this point, Stevia is a reliable and low risk, even this is good for people with diabetes and hypertension, and it is also safe for those with low blood pressure problems.

Steven Gerrard believes Liverpool are better with Jordan Henderson in the Premier League side
Posted: 9 February 2018 Time: 15:00
Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard believes the Reds level of performance is at a higher level when current captain Jordan Henderson is in the starting XI.
Henderson has come under severe criticism from his own fans on social media over the past 12 months for his apparent lack of attacking instinct and unwillingness to play 'positive' football.
But Gerrard who featured 710 times for the Merseysiders over 17 seasons believes the 27-year-old brings qualities to the pitch that helps Jurgen Klopp's side become a 'better team'.
"The armband comes with big pressure and big responsibility, so Jordan probably gets judged differently to every other player - I did when I played," Gerrard told the club's website.
"I think we're a better team with him in the XI. I think he brings an awful lot to the game that I appreciate as a midfielder.It's one of these things -- from game to game, people change their opinions.
"It's just part and parcel of being a player in this day and age with the social media and the attention on every single position. Players just have to accept it."

The Perfect Liberal Article for Veterans Day
David Masciotra, writing in Salon, lays the wood to all of us "childish" Americans who harbor the "childlike" notion that all soldiers are heroes.
Put a man in uniform, preferably a white man, give him a gun, and Americans will worship him. It is a particularly childish trait, of a childlike culture, that insists on anointing all active military members and police officers as "heroes." The rhetorical sloppiness and intellectual shallowness of affixing such a reverent label to everyone in the military or law enforcement betrays a frightening cultural streak of nationalism, chauvinism, authoritarianism and totalitarianism, but it also makes honest and serious conversations necessary for the maintenance and enhancement of a fragile democracy nearly impossible.
It's impossible already when Masciotra and his friends reject the premises upon which U.S. foreign policy is based. Stopping the hero worship of cops and soldiers won't alter that one iota.
"Rhetorical sloppiness"? How does "anointing" soldiers as heroes constitute rhetoric of any kind and how is it sloppy? Writers who want to sound important and knowledgeable who are unimportant and ignorant employ such ridiculous criticisms in order play to their peanut gallery of equally ignorant lefties. It's a meaningless statement but it sure sounds good, especially when paired with the pejorative "intellectual shallowness."
So speaks the author of an upcoming book on that sage of sages, John Cougar Mellencamp.
And what's this "cultural streak" of "nationalism, chauvinism, authoritarianism and totalitarianism"? Sheesh. All that because many of us admire soldiers and cops? Dial up this fellow's meds because it's obvious his paranoia is out of control. It is impossible to see how thinking soldiers and cops are heroes would lead to totalitarianism. Maybe Masciotra is projecting a wee bit much, no? Admiring Che and Mao could easily lead to a totalitarian mindset because, well, they were bloodthirsty totalitarians. Soldiers fighting for the freedom of us or others and cops who are trying to beat back the savages of the street who don't think twice of murdering anybody (including the police) deserve a little more consideration.
But, wait, it gets better…

1st Battalion the Royal Welsh
Well work was quite fascinating on Thursday. 1st Battalion the Royal Welsh marched through the campus as part of their homecoming. I think everyone at the college supported it, despite it being freezing outside. I got some pictures for you...
I think what was most apparent to us all was how young the majority of them were. They were the same age as the 'kids' we enrol in September, the students that we do our best to take care of because we feel protective towards them. Yet these men were the same age as many of our students and we send them out to war knowing that some will arrive home in a wooden box. These men are amazing people, and not just the younger ones.
Welcome home guys.

And you wonder how people actually believe this stuff. I guess the producers at MSNBC don't have a problem with this guy? You will probably see Grey's Anatomy ratings go the way of the NFL. We've had enough of this race baiting.
Actor to MSNBC: National Anthem is a Scam 'To Get Boys and Girls to Go Kill People'
By Corinne Weaver | September 25, 2017 10:51 AM EDT
First they came for the statues, now they are coming for the national anthem. The left wants to rip the virtue of patriotism from the public eye. For some progressives, it isn't enough that NFL players use the anthem for their protest. The anthem itself is a problem.
On Sunday, MSNBC Live with Thomas Roberts, actor Jesse Williams (Grey's Anatomy) expressed his opinion on Trump, the national anthem, and the NFL. He believed that the NFL was owned by Trump supporters who were "close friends with a very horrible guy who thinks he's a dictator." Williams also said that "We're North Korea," and finally, that the national anthem has nothing to do with the NFL, but "is a scam." He told Roberts (who agreed) that the anthem was meant "to get boys and girls to go fly overseas and go kill people."
Williams stated that he wanted to see the owners speak, since "there is an entire league of people, a league of owners, blocking this man and others from being able to fulfill their dreams and do what they'be been able to do. This league is rife with mediocre white quarterbacks that are not as good as Colin Kaepernick."
But Roberts egged the actor on to talk about Trump and whether or not the president was "gaslighting people" by saying that his supporters could do whatever they wanted, and that he wasn't calling for an NFL boycott. Williams finally broke into a "fake news" tirade, with this rant aimed at the national anthem and NFL owners:
"They don't know right from wrong because we know seven or eight of these owners gave Trump a million dollars each, and are close friends with a very horrible guy who thinks he's a dictator, who treats America like it's a game show. We're North Korea and we need

Theo Walcott has reportedly passed his medical and agreed personal terms ahead of a £20m switch from Arsenal to Everton.
The 28-year-old was seen entering the Toffees' Finch Farm training ground yesterday for the medical after the fee was agreed between both sides.
According to Sky Sports News, only a few details remain before the transfer is finalised and an official announcement is anticipated later today.
The England international has fallen out of favour at the Emirates this season and has not started a Premier League game for the club since last April.
Just two weeks ago Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger claimed that he was keen for Walcott to stay, but it is believed that progress on deals to bring in the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan have convinced the Frenchman to sell.
Walcott has been with Arsenal since the age of 16, having joined from Southampton in 2006.

The rising pulse of the music works wonderfully with the brilliantly edited film - splitting apart and turning psychedelic at just the right moment - but it's the content of the images which poses a problem in interpreting this video. On the one hand it seems the director intends to capture the mysterious and mesmerizing spirit of this Sufi religious gathering, using the spiritual experiences of these men to attribute some transcendent power to the music, and subsequently the video itself. Yet as one astute YouTube member so eloquently described it, it also comes off as "Hindu hippies rockin round the Beep man!!!"
The director needn't be concerned with correctly representing each person's religious affiliations (it is actually possible that these men are indeed Hindu, as some Hindus practice or incorporate Sufi traditions), but there does seem to be some problematic objectification of the "other" underlining the final product. Would this video work if the men weren't specifically pot-smoking brown-skinned people? The psychedlia of the finale seems to reference the surge in interest during the hippie movement of the 60's in Indian culture and religion. Yet it's a vague and superficial sort of interest - only by keeping the culture at a mysterious ("spiritual") distance can we sit back and enjoy observing these people as symbols or caricatures of the unknown.

New plans relating to the development of Battersea Power Station have been released and indicate tradesmen with plumbing course qualifications may be required.
The graphics were unveiled by Real Estate Opportunities (REO) - the owners of the site - and showed 3,700 homes, 1.5 million sq ft of office space and 500,000 sq ft of retail space, according to the Irish Independent.
It has been predicted that up to 15,000 jobs could be created if the initiative goes ahead, with some of these employment opportunities likely to be available to workers who have completed plumbing courses.
The newspaper pointed out that the plans have received planning permission from the London mayor and Wandsworth Borough Council, but it must still get the green light from communities secretary Eric Pickles.
Battersea Power Station, which has not been in operation as an electricity generation facility since 1983, was bought by REO in 2006 and the firm has claimed it has received a lot of interest from investors regarding the

A number of road safety bodies have issued a joint statement expressing concern over the decision of several local councils to switch off speed cameras in response to budgetary cutbacks.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents has called the AA, the Association of Industrial Road Safety Officers and Road Safety GB among nine influential groups to support the statement.
According to the organisations, speed cameras play a vital role in protecting the safety of road users, adding that their elimination would create a "void in law enforcement".
They therefore called for the devices to be retained in accident hotspots in order to maintain protection against and awareness of the dangers of speeding.
"While public spending needs to be cut, cuts must be justified by evidence. Cameras pay for themselves and currently make an important contribution to achieving compliance with the speed limit," the statement concluded.
This comes after the Manchester Evening News reported that Manchester City Council is among the local authorities to be considering deactivating speed cameras, while a move to do so has already gone ahead in Oxfordshire.

Did the carbs and made the substitute for the petcock since it wasn't one you could rebuild.
Started to clean the tank and this was after several rinses with rust remover. Then finally after working on it, practically all the big/major rust was gone
Had to take exhaust off, loosen the front peg and take the cover off to get to the slave cylinder for the clutch.
Rebuilt slave and master cylinders. Although it looks like we need another master cylinder for the clutch. Still leaks after rebuild.
Cleaned the air box, air filters and compartments. Cleaned whatever else we could without dunking the bike in a pool. Good ol' Texas dirt!
Will be updating more. Ordering brake caliper rebuild kits and both master cylinder rebuild kits. New tires and more brake pads. Gonna do an oil change and flush the cooling system and replace fluids.
Oh and I love it! Seeing how fucking stupid people are…
Real genius put the tires on backwards!
How much more obvious can it be which way the tire goes with a big arrow pointing in the direction it goes!
I mean you have to of known that the arrow and words indicate the direction,right?

I had slept soundly in the woods with the sound of the river in the distant,and after waking up to a beautiful morning I was ready to get back on the road again. The moment we got back on the road again it started raining, but fortunately it didn't last very long. Both Claire and I had anticipated a long climb up to Lolo pass today and we were hoping that the weather would stay clear so that we might get to enjoy some beautiful views from the top. I had heard rumors about the pass back in Washington from the guys from day 2, where one of them had actually uttered; "Lolo pass on a bicycle?!"
As the weather cleared up we reached the start of the climb and we were both preparing to stay on these steep and winding roads for some time. But before we knew it, we could see a sign that said "Lolo pass 1 mile". This was a familiar situation. The way non-cyclists talk about some climbs is contributing to building up expectations that far exceed reality. Claire had probably also heard some stories because she jokingly suggested that there was missing a "1" on the sign.
At the top of the pass at almost 1600 m there was a visitors center that we stopped by to fill our water bottles and take a rest. This was also where the border to Montana went and we crossed into another time zone as well. The descent was pretty impressive with snow covered mountain tops, wilderness and a big blue sky all around and it was all slight downhill to Missoula.
Missoula is where the Adventure Cycling Association has it's world headquarters and I was very much looking forward to visiting this place I had heard so much about. Unfortunately they are closed on week ends and we got into town after closing time on a friday afternoon so we didn't get to visit. Instead we enjoyed a nice meal in downtown Missoula, which is by the way one of the cooler cities I have ever been to. Claire got in touch with a warmshowers host and I had checked into a motel because tomorrow was a rest day for both of us and we both had some stuff to do.

Nebraska is one of the best places on earth to live, work and play. We have a growing economy that offers many career opportunities for young professionals, seasoned professionals and skilled workers. Just as importantly, Nebraska has an abundance of activities for families and individuals of all ages.
Nebraskans aren't the type to rest on our laurels. We work hard and put significant resources towards making Nebraska a special place, and we will continue to make investments in creating more opportunities for those who make Nebraska their home.
While Nebraska is a pro-business state with a tremendous quality of life, it also has the unfortunate reputation of being a high tax state that is experiencing a workforce shortage.
The State Chamber's long-range planning program, Vision Nebraska, has entered the execution phase of its life cycle. Using input from Chamber members and issue experts, we have identified some of the most pressing statewide challenges, as well as creative ways to address them through the use of programmatic and policy initiatives.
As with all initiatives, it is important to prioritize our efforts. The State Chamber will focus its long range efforts on four key pillars:
- Business climate
- Education and talent supply
- Innovation and economic development
- Infrastructure and growth
We will work with Chamber members, local chambers, the governor, the legislature and other key stakeholders to advance an agenda that focuses on creating well-paying careers, while retaining our employment base around the state. We will also focus on the cost of doing business.
State Chamber members are optimistic about their businesses and our state. We encourage you to participate in this unique process. Please contact us if we can help your business succeed, or if you have ideas to offer.

EUR 3 mo: 1.08 6 mo: 1.09
Our EUR forecast is being amended to reflect an improving political landscape in Europe and less risk of uncertainty surrounding a Eurozone breakup. While the second round of the French election is still a week away, it seems clear that Emmanuel Macron has a commanding lead over Marine Le Pen. French-German interest rate spreads have narrowed, and the overall tone for Europe, politically and economically, is on the mend.
Market psychology and positioning have been overly negative on the EUR related to both European politics and diverging interest rate policies between the Fed and the ECB. Now, the market is in better balance, and we anticipate further consolidation and sideways trading ahead.
The market is beginning to anticipate an end to the ECB QE program sometime late this year or early next year. The EUR has traded in a $1.0500 to $1.1500 range over the past two years.
GBP 3 mo: 1.25 6 mo: 1.25
Since the Brexit vote in June and the collapse of the GBP, the GBP has remained trapped within a trading range of $1.2000 to $1.3000.
Like the euro, an improving political landscape in Europe has had a positive ripple effect on the GBP pulling it higher. Specifically, the GBP has been caught between conflicting dynamics, resulting in short-term trends both up and down over the past few months.
Unknowns surrounding the negotiations of Brexit (hard or soft) continue to provide a negative backdrop for the GBP while U.K. economic growth remains resilient. The GBP could remain in limbo for quite a while as the Brexit negotiations are expected to last months, if not years.
While we still anticipate a weaker GBP, we have to respect the market and market psychology, so we are adjusting our GBP forecast to a higher level.
CAD 3 mo: 1.36 6 mo: 1.38
Up until recently and since September 2016, the CAD had been trapped in a broad consolidative pattern between $1.3000 and $1.3500.
Canadian economic data has been on the upswing for the past few months with improvements in both trade and employment data. The Bank of Canada acknowledges the economic improvement but remains steadfast in staying on hold regarding monetary policy as it sees slack in the economy and no inflationary threats.
Recent White House pronouncements about tariffs on Canadian lumber and renegotiating NAFTA have hurt both the CAD and MXN in the short term. Both currencies remain vulnerable to political bombasts in the near term as the market prices in potentially weaker growth for both countries.
JPY 3 mo: 111 6 mo: 113
The USD/JPY has been highly correlated (80%) with the movement of the U.S. 10-year yield over the past few months. As U.S. interest rates move higher, the JPY weakens and vice versa…how long this strong relationship is maintained remains to be seen.
Since our last forecast, U.S. interest rates have moved lower, and the JPY has strengthened. Besides a close relationship to the movement in U.S. interest rates, the JPY is also caught in the crossfire between geopolitical concerns (safe haven) and activity in the EUR/JPY cross due to European political developments.
The Bank of Japan remains steadfast in its monetary policy, keeping the JPY as a low yielder in hopes of keeping the JPY weak. We remain biased to a weaker JPY going forward, but the market is increasingly resilient to that notion.
AUD 3 mo: .73 6 mo: .74
Last month, we forecast a weaker AUD, and we are pleased to say that our forecast has been bearing fruit.
There are two items at the heart of the weakness: softer commodity prices (iron ore prices in particular) and on-going concerns that the Reserve Bank of Australia remains biased to easing interest rates while the Fed is still positioned for higher interest rates.
Increasing protectionist rhetoric from the White House has also played a part in the recent weakness. How much lower the AUD goes remains in question as expectations regarding world growth are improving and should yield stronger demand for Australian commodities and keep the AUD in demand.

The role of dental check-ups in diagnosing gum disease
Regular dental check-ups are one of your best defences against gum disease. Here are some tips for maintaining healthy teeth and gums in between trips to the dentist.
While you may experience some signs of gum disease, such as swollen, red or bleeding gums, you may not be aware that you have any problems with your gums until you visit your dentist. As gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease, may not be painful, often it goes undetected. It may also be missed in smokers, as smoking can suppress early symptoms.
This is why it is so important to visit your dentist for regular dental check ups, as a professional examination can spot the symptoms of gum disease even if they aren't obvious, allowing you to take steps to treat it before it gets more serious.
If your dentist diagnoses gingivitis you should be offered expert advice on how to treat it at home to stop it from getting worse. You may also be given professional treatments in the surgery.
The key to successful treatment is to remove and control the build up of plaque bacteria with a good oral health routine.
Step one is brushing twice daily using the correct technique to ensure you get your teeth and gums really clean. If you're at risk from severe gum problems your dentist may suggest that you use one brush for your whole mouth, plus specialist brushes and cleaning tools for hard to reach areas. For example interdental or single tufted brushes or tooth floss to remove plaque from tricky areas, such as in between your teeth.
Step two, use a specialist toothpaste, such as Corsodyl Toothpaste, which is clinically proven to help stop bleeding gums by helping to remove plaque.
Keeping your gums and teeth healthy at home is the best way to help prevent and treat gum disease, but it should never be seen as an alternative to regular visits to see your dentist and hygienist. Only a professional can diagnose gingivitis or spot if it has progressed into periodontitis, which must be treated by an expert to help minimise the damage to gums and teeth.

I watch time pass through a 9 pane section of the world.
There's a courtyard down there—out my window, I mean—and a street, and, if I look intentionally enough, the tops of some restaurants. On weekend nights, and Thursdays for some reason, live music spouts off the tops of those restaurants and rolls down the street in a clump: always a mush of electric guitars, yelling, and some guy on a loudspeaker I wonder if anyone can understand. The only thing I can make out clearly is the bass and kick drum who hop effortlessly over the arts center and tap on my window—let us in? It's freezing out here.
In the afternoons, the courtyard fills with kids playing tag and other games I've long forgotten the names of. The sounds they make are quick and nimble: Sporadic burst of laughter. Silence. Screaming! Silence. Laughter. Yelling! CRYING! Silence.
In the evenings, adults talk on the street below until late into the night. Their sounds are thick and syrupy: a constant hum and laughter that swells and dies with geriatric sloth. Occasionally, there will be a shout or a surprising burst of laughter, but, for the most part, the surprises are left to the kids.
The last sound I hear is a car door slamming and an engine turning, fading around the corner. The Parents have picked up their kids. The adults have gone home. And we who live on this tiny corner of the universe sit under our reading lamps and turn the page.

Big Easy embarks on safe city project
The New Orleans Real Time Crime Center integrates Axis cameras to play a critical role in giving first responders immediate incident awareness
"Using the Axis cameras to corroborate and validate what the calls for service are allows the police department to be more efficient and more effective. This gives them more time to interact with the community, build a better rapport, which ultimately will have a positive impact on crime." Ross Bourgeois, Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness for the City of New Orleans.
When New Orleans announced its Citywide Public Safety Project, city officials planned for video cameras to play a key role in helping its police department and partner agencies prevent, detect and investigate crimes. They proposed the solution that would coordinate 911 dispatch center calls with video cameras in the vicinity of incidents and transmit real-time information to appropriate responders.
New Orleans built a Real Time Crime Center where staff monitor video streams from a mix of panoramic, fixed and pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) Axis video cameras deployed throughout the city. The 24/7 operation uses Motorola's Command Central Aware software to integrate the geolocation data, provided through the city's computer-aided 911 dispatch center, with the GPS coordinates of the Axis cameras managed by Security Center and Stratocast, video management systems from Genetec. When the dispatch center receives a call, the appropriate camera views appear on the monitors at the Crime Center. Crime Center Technicians are then able to track activity in the vicinity and share that situational awareness with police and other responders.
Since its launch, the Crime Center has proven to be a real force multiplier, helping law enforcement monitor the size of crowds, track motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic, as well as focus on any incidents that might occur along parade routes. During the 2018 Mardi Gras season, the Real Time Crime Center helped expedite more than 50 cases, including several violent crimes and a suspected drunk driving situation. Civilian staff use the Axis cameras to effectively corroborate and validate hundreds of calls for service, saving police and other agencies such as fire and emergency medical from chasing false alarms or spending hours tracking down witnesses to an event.

Decentralizing Basic Infrastructure Services
First two other links: China aktuell data supplement, from the German Institute of Global and Area-Studies GIGA.
And 'China', from the World Fact Book.
From siteresources.worldbank,
by George E. Peterson and Elisa Muzzini: Basic infrastructure services are those that households and businesses tend to use every day. The primary components are roads and transportation services, water supply and distribution, and sanitation�wastewater collection and removal, and solid waste collection and removal. These services are often bundled together under the heading of �urban services.� However, parallel infrastructure systems are found in rural areas, where roads, irrigation networks, and latrines are critical to life. Irrigation systems, in particular, are sometimes underestimated as infrastructure networks. In the Philippines, irrigation systems account for 80 percent of national water consumption.Efforts to decentralize infrastructure services raise distinctive issues regarding policy design and implementation. Because of their capital intensiveness, these systems require decision making at several different stages:
- Preparing capital investment plans and setting priorities for individual capital projects.
- Operating a network system to provide services and maintaining facilities to sustain the physical capital.
- Financing the system by both mobilizing capital to pay for the initial investment and generating revenues to cover operations and maintenance�that is, ensuring financial sustainability … (Read more on Chapter 10, pages 209 to 236).

Mayer Brown has experience in many specific matters. Search the entire list.
Mayer Brown has more than 250 lawyers ranked by Chambers worldwide and more than 150 Peer Review Rated lawyers in Martindale Hubbell.
On September 30, 2013, the Division of Market Oversight of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) released responses to Frequently Asked Questions regarding Commodity Options (FAQ). While intended to be provide non-binding guidance to affected market participants, the FAQ also serves to highlight the significant complexity of the current analysis required for commodity options.
Andrew K. Soto, Senior Managing Counsel for Regulatory Affairs of the American Gas Association (AGA), in written testimony before the US House of Representatives Committee on Agriculture Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities and Risk Management at a recent hearing regarding the Future of the CFTC: End-User Perspectives effectively summarized this complexity as follows:
"Nevertheless, transactions that contain some option or choice for one or the other counterparty, raise questions for some as to whether they would be considered commodity options regulated as swaps, meet a three-part test and a seven-part test to be excluded as options embedded in forward contracts, be viewed as trade options subject to a lessened reporting burden, or be considered facility use agreement that meet a three-part tests and then a five-part test and not subject to regulation at all."
Affected industry participants have previously complained about the bewildering complexity of this analysis and also suggest that there likely will be inconsistent application, disagreement and confusion regarding this analysis among participants across the varied and often complex contractual and other arrangements common in energy markets with the real risk of inferior reporting quality. Mr. Soto's testimony began by drawing attention to the fact that many of the AGA members are end-users who use commodity options to hedge and mitigate commercial risk, including price volatility associated with procuring natural gas supplies for their customers and that, as such, their swaps were not contributors to the systemic risks that caused the credit crisis that prompted the overhaul of over-the-counter derivatives markets.
Mr. Soto also stated in his testimony that the AGA and many AGA members have sought further interpretive guidance and/or no-action letters from the CFTC staff as deadlines for reporting and other compliance obligations have approached with respect to such transactions and noted that many remain outstanding without having been acted upon by the CFTC staff. The FAQ will likely not satisfy Mr. Soto or the other AGA members who have requested additional guidance and/or interpretative relief, since the FAQ contain relatively modest additional guidance and, for the most part, simply restate the current analysis and other requirements under the existing rules. As a result, it seems that the CFTC staff will have to issue a few more letters before required analysis of commodity options can be efficiently and consistently applied by energy industry participants and robust reporting expected from such participants.
Through September 30 of this year, the CFTC staff have issued 62 separate interpretation and/or no-action letters, while the CFTC staff issued a total of 79 last year (although only 26 letters were issued through the corresponding period last year).

Øyvind Mæland + Pinquins
Procession And Drought
Friday 23 May 6 pm
100/50 kr
Like J.G. Ballard's world of desolate environments destroyed by human intervention or neglect, the sounds of Øyvind Mæland's Procession And Drought evokes barren landscapes. The piece, performed by percussion trio Pinquins, consists of timbres muffled gradually or strangled abruptly, or simply ceasing to exist as if nothing had happened.
Øyvind Mæland (1985) studied composition with great names such as Olav Anton Thommessen, Ivar Frounberg and Henrik Hellstenius. His production consists mainly of chamber music works, and he has worked with ensembles such as Kairos quartet, Bit20 and the Oslo Sinfonietta. In 2013 he finished the opera Ad Undas – Solaris Korrigert, which was staged at the Norwegian National Opera.
Norwegian percussion ensemble Pinquins, consisting of Ane Marthe Sørlien Holen. Sigrun Rogstad Gomnæs and Johanne Byhring, has in its short five years of existence proved themselves as an important part of Oslo's contemporary music scene. They have commissioned new works by composers Kjell Samkopf, Athony Pateras and Stefan Goldmann.

These bottles from mothercare are great they are easy to use and great for sterilising. You wash them like normal bottles with liquid then rinse then add 5ml of water in the cap and pop in the microwave for 1 1/2 mins per bottle and they are only around £15 for 6 and no need for big units.
Recommend to anyone.

If there is such a thing as a superstar in the world of pipes and tobacco, Tom Eltang would be a solid bet as the titleholder. Obviously, we're tempted to say, for his pipes are simply mind-blowing. His form language is incredibly strong and it doesn't matter if he cuts a tight classic or an organic, sculptural shape - his work is always spot on. However, extraordinary shape work aside, the most important aspect for Tom is that the pipe is a good smoker. The basics are always on his mind, or as he once said: "A pipe is just a piece of wood with holes in it that are meant to do one thing, and therefore it must be done right". That it looks great is just a plus.
Another thing that is important to Tom is to have his work displayed in a real Danish pipe shop, and as an old friend of ours he happily bought 20% of our shop back in 2014 - to help ensure the continued existence of a true and honest pipe den.
At The Danish Pipe Shop in Copenhagen, Denmark you find the largest selection of tobacco pipes in Northern Europe: Tom Eltang, Kurt Balleby, Anne Julie, Manduela, Tao, Stanwell, Peter Heding, Neerup Pipes, Poul Winsløw Pipes, Ascorti, Caminetto, Dagner, Dunhill, Castello, Volkan, Brandon Brooks, Vesterholm Pipes, Suhr Pipes, Bay Pipes and many more!

This struck a major chord with me today as my mum's still in transition over settling into a residential care community. She's nearly there and feels happier and safer now, so we're feeling better about her situation.
Kudos to you, Iren,e for tackling dementia care for the elderly in a realistic and supportive way – and to you Lisa and Craig for shining a light on this important topic today.
"Hello, caller. You're on the air with Lisa Burton. What can we do for you today?"
"I don't think I've met you, Lisa, this is Patrick Quinn, can you please put my daughter, Colleen, on the phone?"
"Sorry, Patrick I think you've got the wrong number. I'm actually a radio talk-show host, Lisa the robot girl."
"Robot girl? What can I do for you?"
"Well, Patrick, you called me and I'm glad you did. Now that we're on the air, what would you like to talk about?"
"If I had my druthers, I'd like to talk about and to Connie. She's my wife. She died a few years ago. Let me tell you about her … did you say your name is Laura?"
"Close, it's Lisa."
"Let me tell you, Lisa, that wife of mine was a firecracker, she sure kept me on my toes but a few years ago…

Authors Note Edit
- This is the 9th installment of the Millenium series.
- It was posted to the net on December 27, 2002
- This is one of the hardest stories I ever had to write, not because of the content, but because for the past few months, my good friend, my beta reader, and a person I love dearly has been slowly failing from inoperable lung cancer. Susan became my beta reader during the second installment of the Counselor series. She visited me several times in Nova Scotia, and during those weekends, we would swap ideas about J/7 to the extent that when she left, I'd launch myself into another ten or so installments. She became an integral part of my life. A great deal of joy has gone out of writing J/7, though I stick to it because she enjoyed it so much. Regardless of what happens in the near future, I know she's always going to be looking over my shoulder, offering ideas. This and so many other stories are dedicated to her.
