MEMBER OF AN INFLUENTIAL ORGANISATION overdraws his accounts at the following banks: the India Integrity Bank, Citizens’ Trust Cooperative Bank, and Prudent Money Investment Bank and uses his organisations allocated Funds. There are no penalties for these withdrawals since the overdrafts are subsidized by organisation. Ethics Committee of the organisation tends to let slide irregular banking activities of this sort, provided they are not flagrant. At the moment a total overdraft of up to Rs.10,000/- will be overlooked. Ramani’s underlying sense of guilt makes him feel funny about writing overdrafts for banks whose names include expressions like “integrity” and “citizens’ trust” and “Prudent”. The effect of this is that his bad cheque writing for the first two banks combined amounts to no more than one-quarter of the total. On the other hand, the financial officers at India Integrity Bank are eager to please Ramani due to his influential position, so they would like him to overdraw his account by as much as possible. Find the amount he should draw from each bank in order to avoid investigation by the ethics committee of the organisation and overdraw his account at India Integrity by as much as his sense of guilt will allow. 9.

Based on Trip Advisor reviews, we decided to check it out for dinner with our 7 and 10 year old daughters. Dinner was not only amazing, but they were very family friendly. There were other French families dining, and suggested we only order a 1/2 portion entree for our 7 year old as a full portion would have been too much. My husband and I started or meal with and order od kir royal. The gentleman suffested we have a house kir, which is served with cocoa. We agreed, and it was one of the best apertifs I have ever been served. And while dinner was excellent (special steak and on-menu prawns were excellent), dessert was to die for. A list of 9-10 desserts de jour, plus a chocolate tasting ( and for those gluten free, they offered several desserts as well). Well done, and we will be back.

My father, brother, and I came here and we could not have been more excited. We arrived at around 7PM and had the place to ourselves for awhile! the waiters were so kind and loved to make small jokes. The food blew my mind. We had everything from foie gras to scallops. Each bite was better than the last. The restaurant itself is beautiful as well, and the street that it is on is lovely.

Strolling aimlessly through St. Germain on a very snowy day in Paris the need for a hot drink became overwhelming. As if by magic an enchanting little cobbled walkway loomed ahead flanked by coffee shops and stores so delightful that only Paris could offer this. We stumbled on Un Dimanche a Paris and were drawn in by the magnificent pastries on display.DIrected to a table we were asked to select our pastries and bring the receipt back to the waiter who would then serve our selection plus choice of drinks.There is only one drink to have in here on a cold day. The very essence of this fine establishment is their hot chocolate. Served in a pot this steaming, thick, chocolate drink is produced. Perhaps it is enhanced by chillies, I don't know, but I do know it's made with cream. Thick, unctuous cream with lashings of chocolate. Heaven, utter heaven.My coffee eclair was my prince on a plate. Service was wonderful and my fellow diners most friendly so much chatting and practicing of my rusty French. Recommended for all, but for chocolate lovers this has to be top of the list.

Ryan Bonnet has been sentenced for the on-the-street drunken stomping murder of Eileen Pruitt to 25 years to life in prison, with the possibility of parole after 10 years, Members of the community have voiced opinions in regard to this sentence that range from "he will never make it 10 years," to "Ray approved it so it must seem satisfactory to her family."
So the community may know them by sight, a photo of CGID Board Members was to have been inserted here; but it seems that taking a panoramic photo at the last Board meeting, although open to the public, was against a rule to take it without permission. This was subsequently used to intimidate this writer in email negotiating to have his service restored.
The Canyon General Improvement District (CGID) method of billing for services that are not wanted or otherwise not rendered (such as when the water is shut off) have been called unfair, socialistic and possibly illegal.. CGID charges full rates when clients are not occupying a residence, or a residence is being sold, or other situations arise. There is no immediate recourse to amend, stop or curtail CGID action beyond appeal to the discretion of the CGID Manager.Investigation by this writer into the authorization in law that allows this practice, the process by which such practice may be challenged (outside of being ignored at a monthly CGID Board meeting), and the record of other GID's billing practices in the state of Nevada, is ongoing. Complaint has been filed, or phone inquiries made, with Nevada Public Utilities Commission, the Storey County Sheriff's Department (dismissed as a "civil matter" with no action being taken), the American Civil Liberties Union (awaiting ALCU decision), the Storey County District Attorney's office (who has taken over a week to return the inquiry call), and at the regular monthly meeting of the CGID Board. The issues are about being charged for services that are not needed and/or not being rendered, the manner of inappropriate pressures being put on clients to pay, the Basic Rate Plan of allocation amounts, and the "everyone pays regardless" policy of the CGID. (As it stands, we do not pay for "our water," we pay for "your water" and if we don't all pay there will be "no water.")
The latest Park expansion meeting was sparsely attended. This writer sees the attendance problem as more endemic than attendees were willing to consider. There was call for action to involve more community members in the organization and its processes. More reason why something can't be done were advanced than plans to move forward. A bar-be-que has been proposed to attract individuals into becoming involved. It was reported that the Garden In The Hole is progressing toward possible June seeding.

View of Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu.
New Years Adventure
Wednesday, December 30, 2015 During our New Years break from the archives we went on a fun road trip. We started off by driving to Mt. Cook. The view is beautiful this time of the year, with the sun shining on the snow capped peaks. However..... Mother Nature was not helping out when we got there, all we could see were clouds. MT. COOK Nice lodging facilities near Mt. Cook visitors center.
Our first view of Mt. Cook..... it's there somewhere!!
No problem..... we will drive to nearby Lake Tekapo, where we are staying overnight. The night skies at Lake Tekapo are incredible. The stars are so bright that they have an observatory nearby for star gazing. However..... Mother Nature was not helping out there either. In fact, Sister Edward got up several times during the night and went outside to see if the clouds had gone away..... no luck. We have learned one thing about New Zealand, though..... wait a little while and the weather will change. Thursday, December 31, 2016
When we got up the next morning, the clouds were mostly gone and we had blue skies. So we drove up to the observatory and snapped some panoramic
photos of Lake Tekapo.
The view from our room looking out at Lake Tekapo.
Lake Tekapo from the beach near our room.
The observatory high above Lake Tekapo.
Looking down on the town of Tekapo where we stayed overnight.
A view towards the other end of Lake Tekapo.
Panoramic photo of Lake Tekapo. The blue lakes are amazing to gaze at.
After taking in the beautiful views of Lake Tekapo, we decided to backtrack over to Mt. Cook and see if it was visible.
MT. COOK (Encore) Much to our delight we discovered that Mt. Cook had come out of hiding and was nestled among some low hanging clouds. This view is across Lake Pukaki. The view was definitely worth the drive back.
The day before, after leaving the visitors center at Mt. Cook and approaching Lake Pukaki, we saw the most amazing sight. Usually a georgeous lake will surrender its beauty to the grey skies on a cloudy, overcast day. Not Lake Pukaki. As we saw from a distance, the bottom of the clouds directly above the lake took on a turquoise hue from the beautiful, clear blue water below.
Happy that we got to see Mt. Cook after all, we continued on our journey. Our next destination was Christchurch.
So many beautiful scenes of nature as you drive though the New Zealand countryside.
We arrived in Christchurch on New Years Eve afternoon. We went to dinner with Elder and Sister Ward, our friends doing Records Preservation in the Christchurch Archives, and Elder & Sister Poulsen, another senior missionary couple from Utah serving in Christchurch. After dinner, the Wards took us on a quick tour of downtown Christchurch. We then spent New Years Eve at their flat, playing games and visiting. It was a very fun and relaxing visit. We appreciated their hospitality so much..... what wonderful people!! Friday, January 1, 2016
In September 2010, Christchurch experienced a 7.1 earthquake. Then in February 2011 another earthquake happened. This one was only 6.3 on the Richter scale, but the damage was so much worse than the previous year. 185 people were killed as many buildings collapsed. As part of their rebuilding program from the devastating earthquakes, Christchurch has upgraded their tram system around town. Christchurch has the most amazing tram station.
The indoor main terminal is so nice to stroll through while awaiting the next tram.
View from the seat behind the tram operator. He provided colorful commentary as we rode along.
An all-day pass allows you to get on and off wherever you like. This time we boarded a tram with both indoor and outdoor seating. It is so nostalgic to ride down the streets of Christchurch in such a beautiful reminder of the way things once were back home.
Took advantage of a stop to jump off and snap a photo of Sister Edward stylin' on the tram.
The tram route took us past many unique buildings. Sadly, not all of them look this good.
As we rode along the tram route we were able to see the amazing things Christchurch is doing with their town. It is definitely a work in progress.
We had lunch in the Christchurch Museum. We then spent a few hours looking at all of the wonderful exhibits they had on display. Like the museum in Dunedin, Christchurch has a very unique experience awaiting.
Christchurch also has a canal system where you can go on a gondola boat ride.
As we rode the tram we were reminded that Christchurch is still a city healing from the devastation that occurred in February 2011. There is new construction and repairs to existing buildings going on everywhere.
Some residents are frustrated because they think that tourists come to their town just to see the aftermath of the earthquake. We felt it was more of a celebration with them of the human spirit..... how they had come together to overcome their tragedies. What you see here is the "Container Mall"
Christchurch built a mall out of shipping containers to temporarily house the businesses that were displaced by the earthquakes..... and in doing so, getting them back into business as soon as possible.
All around town the sides of buildings are painted with murals. Sister Edward especially liked this one with penguins. I wonder why?
Many buildings are awaiting a decision on their fate. Until then they are reinforced to keep them from suffering further damage.
This building is a good example of how they keep the facade from collapsing.
Other buildings are beyond repair. They are awaiting their demolition.
Stacking shipping containers is another way they have to prevent buildings from collapsing. This facade is awaiting a decision on its fate. Because of historical factors, some buildings and facades have more importance than others. Later in the afternoon, we took a ride up a gondola to a peak overlooking the valley and ocean. The top of the gondola, with Chrishchurch in the distance. The road you see leading up to the gondola also leads to a tunnel through the mountain to the port city of Lyttleton.
Looking off the backside of the mountain to the port city of Lyttleton.
Christchurch from a distance. You can see several cranes doting the skyline.
We arose early Saturday morning and made our way to the KiwiRail train station where we caught the Trans Alp train to the west coast town of Greymouth. After about an hour layover, we returned to Christchurch. We especially enjoyed the scenic views without having to drive a car to see them.
The KiwiRail Trans Alp train has newer excursion cars that make looking at the beautiful scenery fun.
Many majestic views to enjoy as we traveled along the route.
The train features an outdoor car for photo taking without windows. After going through a few unannounced smoke-filled tunnels that idea was abandoned.
Even on a grey, cloudy day the water running in the riverbeds has a gorgeous blue hue.
When we got to Greymouth, everyone got off the train. The crew then took it to a nearby railyard where they repositioned the locomotives to the other end of the train for the journey back to Christchurch. Who is that person peeking around the station platform post.
Even though it was raining, we enjoyed the views these beautiful passenger cars provided.
On the return journey we discovered that nobody else was enjoying the lounge car..... so we took up residency there.... really nice!!
One thing Elder Edward has learned during his many years of railroading is that everything you see is unique only to those who are on the train. The simplest views can be breathtaking if you consider that they are a gift from our Heavenly Father. We enjoy views like this, with their many different shades of green, as much as the beautiful lakes that dot this beautiful country.
On a clear day there would have been a blue sky in the background, but it would not change the inherent beauty of this mountain, with its tapestry of trees and bushes..... truly spectacular to enjoy. Sunday, January 3, 2016
We got up Sunday and went to church with the Wards in Christchurch. After church, we drove to the harbor side town of Akaroa where we had overnight reservations. Even though it rained all day long, we made lemons out of lemonade. We had a wonderful drive and a nice walk with our raincoats on.
Like Lake Tekapo, when we got up Monday morning we had blue skies, and an opportunity to see a few things before our return trip back to Dunedin. AKAROA
The harbor at Akaroa was beautiful. This barbeque pit looked like it was made out of old whaling vats.
Sister Edward playing hid and seek again. I always seem to find her.
Akaroa reminded us of a quaint old village.
We got a chance to stroll through the shops along main street. Sister Edward was thrilled to find some New Zealand themed material to bring home for future sewing projects.
Another interesting facade that added to Akaroa's charm.
Across the harbor on the left you can see a small, white lighthouse.
No shortage of wildlife to photograph.
We found our way to the lighthouse before we left.
Very relaxing morning!!
Elder Edward found a new friend on the mountain overlooking Akaroa. Looks like a future sweater.
Our last view of the harbor leading to Akaroa from the Pacific Ocean. Well, that's some of our holiday adventure photos. We stopped in Oamaru on the way home and went to dinner with Elder & Sister Osburn. It was fun to spend some time with them. It was also good to get back home and get prepared for Tuesday morning. The archive was open for business and we were back to taking photos!!

Communism By Any Other Name Is Still Communism | That Mr. G Guy's Blog
Communism By Any Other Name Is Still Communism
A detour via Utopia allows an ideology (and the power system that it purports to legitimize) to proclaim one success after another without interruption, while in reality its results are diametrically opposed to the vaunted agenda…. it promises liberty and imposes servitude; it promises equality and ends up with the most inegalitarian of all societies, with a nomenklatura class that is priviledged to a degree unknown even in feudal societies…
Many believers persist in accepting the contradictions because utopia is always located in the future. ….
France had already experienced, and even invented, this politico-ideological configuration with Robespierre and the Jacobin dictatorship
Yippee for France. Can’t say they ever quit trying, or let a little reality get in the way.
Revel writes a great deal about how the fall of the Soviet Union actually HELPED the utopian communists in intellectual circles move forward the “benefits” of communism.
What progressives have successfully dodged, he argues, is the reality check that the end of communism should have brought about. …… Revel contends that the end of communism actually galvanised the radicals: “Now they were free,” he writes, “to idolize unreservedly a socialism restored to its pristine condition – utopia.”
Ah, the good old times. The Jacobins, the guillotine, the reign of terror – when “Liberte, fraternite, egalite” meant no one could avoid a bloodbath
If you can’t succeed in 1793 (the monarchy was re-established in France post-Napoleon), try try again – eh Hollande?
You know, I can never understand how so many people have or can be duped by the scheme of a Utopian fantasy. Don’t they realize that in their imagined Utopia, there will still be the “Haves” and the “Have-Nots” and that they, like most of the rest of us will be on the short end.
Utopia doesn’t mean everyone will suddenly become miraculously wealthy, but that everyone but a favored few will become equally miserable.

July 7, 2012 at 8:46 am	Reply	Good post.
I believe some people don’t see what you and I see because they never stop to really think things through, while others – sadly, the majority – are too caught up in their own desire to have someone give them another person’s property so they don’t have to work to even care.
July 8, 2012 at 8:34 pm	Reply	Black3actual – I think there is an additional self-deception at work. For brevity I will just say I observe in people who mindlessly prescribe to progressive/liberal opinions the desire to be part of a smart, important “intellectual” group. My aunt/uncle believe they are intellectual if they hold up as truth any well accepted progressive position. They don’t actually spend the intellectual muscle on their own to a ) develop the opinions in their own minds (in math we call this recreating the proof) or to b ) question whether or not the opinions are truly intelligent in terms of the outcomes. My relatives want to be “in the club” who are viewed as smart. It’s a losing proposition – look at the history/progression of any of the totalitarian Marx-based regimes & you can see that at first all the peasants are welcomed and put up with – but over time, only the elite leadership reap the benefits (and in most cases, a number of them end up in the gulag as well). Their self deception is that because they were supporting the revelution, they will benefit just like the leaders do – in reality the minute the leaders get complete power, they dispose of the riff raff from outside and inside their ranks.
July 8, 2012 at 9:12 pm	Reply	Lynn,
Totally agree. In fact, as I read more about the origins of the Progressive movement, I find it is directly decedent from the Fabian Socialists. I have also learned that the Communists were spawned by the Fabians, as well. And though they may have been intelligent people, the founding Fabians lacked any measure of understanding, wisdom or moral fiber. They were purely self-interested egotists who peddled platitudes to the masses so as to dupe them into selling themselves into slavery. In the end, these people you mention – the ones who want to be in that elite group – are precisely the same people the Communists called useful idiot. Unfortunately for the rest of the world, their self-appointed, elitist leaders are little better than they when it comes to true intellect. But what they lack in wisdom and love for their fellow man, they more than make up for in their zeal to actually implement their evil ideas – and so we all die with them, together.

Togo! | Main menu
← Ghana Update	One More Week →
Posted on July 9, 2012 by Anna	0
I love love love Ghana, but I must say that God has laid a special love in my heart for Togo. I just got back from our second short visit there, and I must say that I cannot wait to go back!This time, we got to Togo after the kids were in bed. I was so excited to see them that I couldn’t sleep! My heart was beating so fast from excitement. I went to bed at 12:00 am and woke up at 3:00 am. I was so excited I couldn’t go back to sleep! I had to be up when the kids were up. I finally heard them stirring at 5:00, so I was up and in the hallway before most of the kids were even awake.
I will never forget. Kokou, my buddy from last time, looked up at me with his big eyes. He grabbed one of my hand in both of his and just looked at me with a smile and happy eyes. Oh, I was so happy!
It is so much fun to love on the kids. It is difficult because they don’t know English and we don’t know Ewe or French. They receive the love just the same, though, and we were loved in return.
Another girl who is about 13 was glued to my side when she wasn’t doing chores. She was so sweet. That morning, as soon as I sat down, she sat at my feet and put her head in my lap. I have been told it is a sign of respect and trust. It was so sweet and humbling. This beautiful girl is so strong and sweet and loving. As I left, I handed her a pair of my earrings. She looked up and started crying that we were all leaving. Oh, my heart.
Through FTO, money was raised for all the kids to have mattresses! There is also a building over the kitchen, a door on the courtyard, and mosquito nets coming. They also built a small storage room in the hallway for the mattresses and other things. They are also working on getting beds and other needs for the home. It is so awesome to see God work through John. He does such a good job with the homes.
Oh, my heart is sad to leave those kids, but happy for the love they receive from John, his mom, and the other people who work with the home. Oh, God is good!

Adrienne Rewi Online: Signs of Earthquake Times
The one no one wanted!
And one of several signs outside churches around the city. Unfortunately, as a fan of church architecture, I'm sorry to see that Canterbury's churches have been among the hardest hit of all the historic buildings in town. Most have significant damage and several are now 'propped up' with enormous steel beams....but more on that another day.... In the meantime, I can't help but smile at the optimism of this sign, outside St Lukes I think it was, on Manchester Street. Having seen the damage to churches, even if I had an urge to pray (and I haven't yet), a church would be the very last place I'd be entering during these shaky times.

Well I admit I never thought I'd be interested in PowerShell, but I guess it's time for me to learn something new.

The tool actually gives you the ability to look at the information from the AMO library as if it was a drive.

Bean and Sausage Casserole | Chef Emil's
Dear Chef Emil, I never get tired of seeing your market still life photographs! Your top shots always make me smile. And they make me very hungry!! T.
Dearest Theadora……you are too very kind. Wish we could sit down and share this cassoulet together!
They may call cassoulet peasant food – but it’s French Peasant Food – and that is what makes it special. The traditional way to make a casserole like this is so time consuming one is exhausted just reading the recipe . This is brilliant. c’est magnifique
Thank you my dearest Virginia! I was trying to make it simple and healthy for the new year.
Just the type of simple comfort food perfect for this time of year. Love it!
Yes! and this recipe is so very yummy with the marionberry and jalapeno sauce in it!

Born at the Crest of the Empire: Shaping the argument .comment-link {margin-left:.6em;}
From the WaPo's reporter with all the CIA ties, Walter Pincus
Democrats on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence have questioned whether the recent National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq gave political advantage to the Bush administration by making "rapid withdrawal" of U.S. troops the only alternative military option the NIE explored.
Also, did anybody notice how Bush yesterday tried to support his escalation by saying it was the road to Baker Hamilton? As he has thus far not endorsed any of bit of the ISG, is this just an effort to cut off the Baker-Hamilton option/criticism from critics?

shah rule: How Do You Know You Are a Bonsaist?
You begin to see bonsai in all plants with strange forms; when you walk through the street, instead of looking forward you look at all the trees, you kneel down just to see the trunk. You can’t pass through a nursery without stopping to see the same plants, pots and fertilizers you already know are there, and if you stop at the bookstore you no longer look at the books of your profession but you search for the suiseki or bonsai books instead.You become a nature designer with a title, and you design your own garden for your bonsai and begin to hate people that when they see your bonsai say “and that weed.” The same people don’t understand that you save money for some time so you can buy that special concave cutters since in the tool box you already have one that you use for your electrical repairs. They also don’t understand how this cutter becomes part of your daily life.You begin to program your holidays based on the re-collection potential of the places you’ve already been and begin to negotiate with your partner about going there at a certain time, since the moon will be in good place for collecting. At the end when you go out with the family, you come with the car full of stones, plants and seeds.
You realize you have friends of your childhood and bonsai friends. Your other friends look at you strangely when you talk about plants, nurseries or watering.You travel several times, hundreds of miles, just to collect a certain tree “that you needed,” and then you travel more just to find one better. Before each trip, as you fall asleep, you begin to enumerate in your mind all of the tools and equipment that you have to take the next day for the collection.On occasion you walk 100 meters and then another 200 and then 200 more and you do that for the rest of the afternoon without resigning to the fact that there is nothing worth collecting in that area.When you travel for the weekend to see grandma, you take (just in case!) the tools, saws and bags for collecting.
Sometimes you find that after saving and buying that pot you wanted, a week later you find some better ones at another store.Your biggest dream is you can travel to Japan. You look at the movie “karate kid” and stop in the parts were the bonsai come up so you can analyze them. You could paste pictures of bonsai all around your office and… well the list can go on, but don’t be scared. Don’t think you are crazy, better yet, think that you are a bonsaist and this is our passion.

The word warming itself does not describe or represent the complexity and dangers resulting from the toxic by-products of worldwide manufacturing processes, fossil fuel burning, transportation, and other man made production. Mother's milk is warm, or if it is not you should warm it up. Warming up to a new idea, or under your favorite blanket, next to a campfire. Butterflies warm up their wings in the morning sun before they collect nectar from your garden.

Potential members have often asked what the criteria in the audit for CSIA Certification are, but the criteria were not made public . . . until now.
Why would you want to know the criteria? Perhaps, you are curious to know what integrators had to do in their business to pass the audit for certification before joining the association. For instance, was the audit about technical ability, business practices, or both.?
