Good Morning Peeps!
Last night we went to Zul'Aman, a small group gathered and we entered the instance.
Bear went down in the time, and we missed out the eagle timed bit by maybe 20 seconds or something which was a real pain!
So we went onto the Lynx and took him down on the 2nd go after the tanks engaged him too close to the doors and there were line of sight issues with the healers.
We called it a night there, as it was quite late due to the start being delayed by nearly 1 hour.
It occurred to me that there really was no point in us doing these same 3/4 bosses over and over again.
We just don't progress through the whole instance as ZA is only scheduled one night a week. This really gives me a severe lack of motivation towards the instance.
Don't get me wrong the loot on some of these guys in here is pretty sweet, the instance itself is fun, but knowing that we'll probably not get past the 5th boss is just disappointing to me!
The 2h Sword the last boss drops is lovely! But unless we can clear the whole place in 1 night i don't see myself getting close to clearing it.
To be perfectly honest I'd rather do a full Kara clear in 1 night but I missed out this week.
Oh well...
Anyway 2.3.2 is downloaded and ready to go! I'm rather interested to see how the 2 small differences to Crusader Strike, and Sanctified Seals is going to affect my raiding.
Crusader Strike is now going to give only 110% weapon damage, with no bonus for spell damage (previously 40% Holy Spell Damage)
This is going to be a nice buff for me i think as i don't think 40% of 72 Spell damage is a huge amount of damage, but 10% of weapon damage is a LOT!
Also an extra 30% more mana back from judgements - that's really nice! should last a lot longer now before i have to chug pots!!
Guess I'll find out tonight as we re-enter Serpent Shrine Cavern! I think after the tries we had on Vashj it was clear we need a bit more DPS - so gear is of the essence! A few more nice upgrades for the guild, a bit more T5 maybe even the 3 upgrades I'm after in there!! GRR!!!
I imagine we'll do Hydross, Lurker, and Leotheras.
If we manage to 1 shot them (which we can do, but sometimes get stuck on Leo) then we'll move onto Karathress.
At least i hope that's what happens.
Unity the number 1 raid group on the server are able to clear The Eye, and SSC in 2 Nights...this is amazing! I cant wait till we can do this!!
Our Time Will Come....

Is this the career choice of the future?
Multilevel Marketing, commonly called MLM, Network Marketing or direct sales is one of the highest potential income sources anywhere, but particularly on the Internet. It has been claimed that in the last 10 years more people have become millionaires through MLM's than in any other business or profession.
I don't know how true that is, but I do know a lot of people have made a lot of money through MLM's.
Multilevel Marketing is also known as Pyramid Schemes and a number of other less-than-complimentary names. This is unfortunate because MLM's have a lot of potential.
There are some things you need to know about an MLM before you join one though:
* You need to be selling something. It can be selling a product or a service, but it must be selling. If all the MLM does is recruit new members, then it is what is called a "Ponzi Scheme" and it's illegal.
* They have to have a good product. You can send all the traffic in the world to an MLM website, but if the product they are offering has no appeal, it won't sell no matter what you do. If it doesn't sell, you won't make any money. Simple as that.
* They have to have "staying power.' That is, they have to be good enough to last for a long time. Many MLM's are gone in a year or two and no matter how well they were paying you, once they've folded, you won't get any more money.
* Plan on working at it for a long time to realize any significant income. MLM's don't usually build quickly, so you have to be very persistent. Once they do start to build though the growth is exponential and the income unlimited.
You have probably heard of some MLM companies, and maybe you've even been a member of one or more of them. Odds are, if you were a member, you dropped out after a while because it was just too hard to promote these systems successfully.
One of the worst parts of promoting MLM's is the rejection you will face. Try to think of this differently. I like to think of myself as the miner prospecting for gold during the gold rush. I sift through tonnes of dirt to find my one or two pieces of gold. All I am doing is prospecting, the more 'dirt' I can sift through the closer I am to finding my 'gold'.
If you have done the research on your MLM company then you will have chosen one with a product that has an attraction to a mass market so you are not limited to one demographic of the community. Look at the economic environment, what are the trends or 'boom' industries?
Research has shown that health, weight management and anti-ageing are some of the fastest growing industries worldwide. 'A huge market is starting to unfold as the 'baby boomer' generation ages and increasingly becomes more concerned with staying healthy and youthful.
If nothing else, being involved with an MLM company can teach you business and personal skills that can be used in any walk of life. Most MLM companies are very proactive in the area of personal development and from my experience it is this that is the key to a persons success with an MLM business 'and maybe in life generally. Taking a close look at ourselves is one of the hardest things to do. We can blame multilevel marketing, the company, the products or even the weather for our demise but lack of personal development would definitely be one of the main causes.
Are MLMs Ethical?
Many people question the ethics of MLM. They claim that the people on the top get all the benefit from the people working below them while the people below don't get much if anything at all. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Think about where you work. Isn't it true that the boss is getting paid out of the money YOU are making for the company? And what about the Chairman of the Board? What is he producing that makes him so valuable to the company? Did he make any sales? Did he build any of the products? No, YOU did, but he's raking in the big bucks for it.
With an honest MLM, you can easily make more than the boss if you put the effort into it. He gets a little bit from your sales, but you get the lion's share 'not like a conventional job where you sweat on the assembly line while the CEO sits in an air-conditioned office getting million-dollar bonuses!
But isn't this just a big 'pyramid scheme'? Yes and no. Anyone who works a conventional job is in a pyramid scheme. Every company, army, and government in the world is built on the pyramid concept. However, with multilevel marketing, you aren't held back by the people above you like you are in a conventional job.
With an MLM, you can build your business as large and as profitable as you want it to be.

June 8, 1983
Wayne GADWAY, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff,
Barbara BLUM, individually and in her official capacity as Commissioner of the New York State Department of Social Services, and Richard H. Duquette, individually and in his official capacity as Commissioner for Social Services, Clinton County, Defendants.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: MINER
MEMORANDUM -- DECISION and ORDER
MINER, District Judge.
This class action concerns the relationship between the medical assistance ("Medicaid") program for the medically needy, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1396a(a)(10)(C) and 1396a(a)(17), New York Social Services Law §§ 366.1(a)(5) and 366.2(b), and the Hill-Burton Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 291 et seq. The issue here is whether the "spend-down" liability of a medically needy family
can be met by incurring a hospital bill which the hospital "writes off" as part of its obligation to provide a free or reduced price care to low income people under the Hill-Burton Act. The claim here is predicated upon 42 U.S.C. § 1983, see Maine v. Thiboutot, 448 U.S. 1, 100 S. Ct. 2502, 65 L. Ed. 2d 555 (1980), and jurisdiction is asserted under 28 U.S.C. § 1331. Before this Court are plaintiff's motion for summary judgment
and defendants' cross-motion for summary judgment.
Fed.R.Civ.P. 56.
The facts here are uncontroverted. The Gadways were determined to be Medicaid eligible, subject to a $1,410.00 "spend-down" liability. Mrs. Gadway then became hospitalized, and the Gadways incurred a bill for $1,528.00 from the hospital, plus other medical bills for her care. Medicaid payment for the hospital and related bills was denied because based on the Medicaid rates, which are less than the private billing rates, the $1,410.00 "spend-down" obligation of the Gadways had not been met. Mr. Gadway then applied to the hospital to have the bill "written off" under its Hill-Burton obligation. His request was granted.
Thereafter, the Gadways used a Medicaid card for other care totalling $2,046.36 during the six-month coverage period. At a subsequent Medicaid re-application, the local social service district discovered that Mr. Gadway's hospital bill had been "written off" under the Hill-Burton Act. Accordingly, the district determined that, since Mr. Gadway was no longer liable on the bill and had not paid it himself, he had never met his $1,410.00 spend-down obligation and that excess Medicaid benefits of $1,410.00 (out of the $2,046.36 total paid) had been provided. The local social services district then had Mr. Gadway sign a written acknowledgment of such $1,410.00 overpayment.
Mr. Gadway contends that there was no overpayment, as a matter of law, since the hospital bill that was incurred and then "written off" under the Burton-Hill Act should have been counted toward his Medicaid "spend-down" liability.If Mr. Gadway is correct, then the acknowledgment of liability is invalid.
Plaintiff moves for summary judgment determining that his "spend-down" liability was met and that defendants' policy to the contrary violates the Hill-Burton Act and the Social Security Act. Plaintiff also seeks a declaration that the overpayment agreement is a nullity, New York Social Services Law § 369.1(b) (permitting recovery only of Medicaid not "correctly paid"), and an order requiring that class members be notified and afforded the chance to have their benefits recomputed correctly.
This case requires that the Court construe two unrelated federal health care statutes so as to conform them to their Congressional intent. The first, the Hill-Burton Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 291 et seq., was enacted in 1944 and predates the Medicaid program, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1396 et seq., by two decades. Among the chief beneficiaries sought to be served by the Act were persons unable to pay for such medical services. Cook v. Ochsner Foundation Hospital, 319 F. Supp. 603, 606 (E.D.La.1970). Indeed, the Act authorizes the Surgeon General to require assurances from hospitals that receive assistance under it that a reasonable volume of services be provided to "persons unable to pay therefor." 42 U.S.C. § 291c(e). See American Hospital Association v. Schweiker, 529 F. Supp. 1283, 1290 (N.D.Ill.1982) ("The real beneficiaries of the entire program [are] those unable to pay for health care themselves").
The Medicaid program, 42 U.S.C. §§ 1396 et seq., enacted in 1965, P.L. 89-97, provides federal financial assistance to states that choose to reimburse certain costs of medical treatment for needy persons. Schweiker v. Gray Panthers, 453 U.S. 34, 36, 101 S. Ct. 2633, 2636, 69 L. Ed. 2d 460 (1981), citing Harris v. McRae, 448 U.S. 297, 301, 100 S. Ct. 2671, 2680, 65 L. Ed. 2d 784 (1980). Eligibility for Medicaid under the "medically needy" option is determined upon consideration of income and resources available to the applicant in accordance with standards prescribed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Id. The purpose of Medicaid is to assist the states in furnishing medical assistance to certain categories of people "whosee income and resources aree insufficient to meet the cost of necessary medical services." 42 U.S.C. § 1396. For the group of people involved, the "medically needy," Congress specified that a state's Medicaid plan must include "reasonable standards" that "(A) are consistent with the objectives of this subchapter" and (B) provide for taking into account only such income and resources as are . . . available to the applicant or recipient." 42 U.S.C. § 1396a(a)(17).
While both statutes admittedly are similar in purpose, plaintiff argues that the construction applied by defendants completely undercuts the intent of the Hill-Burton Act to provide care for people unable to pay therefor as beneficiaries of the program, since defendants' construction results in every dollar "written off" under the Hill-Burton Act being counted to reduce the amount of "spend-down" Medicaid recipient's countable bills by an equal amount.
This Court agrees.
The answer to how these two statutes should properly be construed, in addition to the public policy concern that Hill-Burton funds benefit their intended poor beneficiaries rather than Medicaid programs, is found in the various regulations and policies of the two programs. A Medicaid recipient is eligible to have the rest of his or her medical bills covered once bills in the "spend-down" amount have been "incurred." 42 C.F.R. § 435.2-(b)(3)(i); 42 C.F.R. § 435.851(c). Thus, the issue here is whether a ...

Unemployment in Solano and Napa counties continued a downward trajectory in April, the latest state figures reveal.
Solano County's April jobless rate was 4.7 percent, down from 5.2 percent in March and below the year-ago estimate of 5.4 percent, the figures show. This compares with an unadjusted unemployment rate of 4.5 percent for California and 4.1 percent for nationally in April.
The situation was similar in Napa County where the April jobless rate was 3.4 percent in April, down from 4.1 percent in March and below the year-ago estimate of 4.1 percent.
Napa County registered the eighth lowest unemployment rate among California's 58 counties in April, as Solano came in 24th. San Mateo's 2.5 percent was the lowest rate, ranking it first, and Imperial County's 19.2 percent was the highest, ranking it last.
Kaiser Permanente was the employer with the most job ads in Solano County in April, with 166, according to the state. Other employers with a relatively high number of job ads in Solano included the city of Fairfield, the Vallejo City, Benicia and Vacaville Unified School Districts, Sutter Health, Robert Half International, Lowe's, H&R Block and Brookdale.
The most job ads in Solano County in April were in Fairfield, where 1,522 want ads were posted, followed by Vacaville's 968 and Vallejo's 962. There were 469 jobs advertized in Benicia in April, 160 in Dixon, 43 in Suisun City and 42 in Rio Vista. The town of Green Valley, Elmira and Birds Landing registered 5, 3 and 2 job ads, respectively.
The top occupations, job-ads-wise in Solano County were registered nurse, retail sales and retail sales supervisor, at 212, 151 and 140, respectively. Others include truck drivers (106), maintenance and repair workers (76,) customer service representatives (64) and social and human services assistants (63).
Within Solano County, the lowest unemployment rate in April was Elmira's 0 percent, followed by Green Valley's .8 percent, Benicia's 2.9 percent and Vacaville's 3.7 percent. The highest was Rio Vista's 9.4 percent, followed by Vallejo's 6.4 percent and Fairfield's 4.2 percent. These were followed closely by 4 percent in Dixon and Suisun City.
Napa County's highest jobless rate in April was American Canyon's 4 percent, followed by Deer Park's 3.9 percent and Napa city's 3.6 percent. The lowest was Calistoga's .8 percent, followed by St. Helena's 2.2 percent, Angwin's 3.3 percent, and Yountville's 3.4 percent.
The city of Napa had by far the largest number of job ads in April, with 1,232, with St. Helena's 424, a distant second. There were 120 in Yountville, 114 in Calistoga, 83 in American Canyon and 79 in Rutherford. Oakville advertised for 37 jobs in April, there were seven in Angwin and two in Deer Park.
The Napa Valley Unified School District was the Napa County employer with the most job ads in April — with 82. Others included Auberge du Soleil, Wyndham Worldwide, St. Helena Hospital and Silverado Resort and Spa, (66, 50, 48, 45). Forty job ads each came from Las Alcobas, and Treasury Wine Estates, while Villagio Inn & Spa placed 33 ads, and both Interstate Hotels & Resorts and Constellation Brands, Inc. posted 26.
Food service jobs were the most prevalent in Napa County, with 129, followed by wait staff, maids and office supervisors. There were 73 retail sales ads posted, 72 retail supervisor ads, 63 hotel desk clerks and 61 registered nurses. There were also nearly 60 ads for production and operation jobs and 55 restaurant jobs in April, according to the state.

The Stone Age : Pre-Video on Demand
There is less money for teaching adults than children, so most programs ran on a shoestring, using local school district facilities. We did what we could by giving a summer institute and various in-services. However, we hit the limits allowed by the technology of the time.
The biggest change in our training methods came when we started using the Teacher Education Agency (TEA) video system. Now, we could reach hundreds of teachers and record the training for future use. It was difficult to schedule time on the busy system, but what a difference it made to our program.
What would have been better is if we had video services set up in our Institute on campus. Instead, my boss and I tried to set up training using video and were not successful. We could have used the help of a video service. When we did capture training, the files were so huge; we had to buy extra storage. I had to learn video editing online so that I could edit them down.
Of course, video has come a long way since then. Now you can video conference on your laptop, talk to service men and women in Afghanistan and see the Earth from a satellite. Police have video cameras on their dashboards and laptops in their service vehicles. Commanders at sea can talk securely with personnel at their bases. People in distant parts of the world can watch television via satellite.
Satellite and cable technology work together to give us an instant replay of a football fumble or a touchdown, provide members of NATO instant access to information on hostiles, bring the horror of the bombing in Baghdad into our living rooms and help scientists in Antarctica to share their research and data with their colleagues.
Whatever your business, I think video on demand (VOD) is an idea whose time has come. You can cut travel costs and time, keep productivity up (without jet lag) and work in real time with other branches of your business or customers--no matter where they are.
I would suggest finding a large video provider and letting their specialists set up and maintain the video conferencing system and mobile satellite setup. That way, you will see faces instead of static and hear compliments instead of complaints.

Editor's note: Are you there? Share photos and video with CNN iReport.
Jakarta, Indonesia (CNN) -- Russia's newest civilian airliner disappeared Wednesday from radar screens during a half-hour demonstration flight in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, state-run RIA Novosti news service reported.
There were 44 passengers on board.
The plane went missing at about 2 p.m. in the area of Bogor, West Java, Indonesian Transportation Ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan told Metro TV.
The pilots requested permission to descend from 10,000 feet to 6,000 feet, air traffic controllers said. After that, all radio contact was lost.
The plane began making its descent but vanished from radar screens at 6,200 feet in a mountainous area.
By the time the plane was due to return it should have burned up its fuel, RIA Novosti said.
The Sukhoi Superjet 100 airplane arrived in Jakarta as part of a demonstration tour of six Asian countries. It had been to Myanmar, Pakistan and Kazakhstan, and was due to visit Laos and Vietnam after Indonesia, RIA Novosti said.
Sukhoi manufactures military aircraft and is known especially for its fighter jets. Its civilian aircraft is narrow-bodied with a dual-class cabin that can transport 100 passengers over regional routes. It flew its maiden flight in 2008.
In March, a Superjet 100 operated by Russia's Aeroflot Airlines was forced to abandon its flight to Astrakhan, Russia, and return to Moscow because of problems with the undercarriage, according to RIA Novosti.
A similar defect in another Aeroflot-operated Superjet 100 plane had to be fixed in Minsk in December.
Russia's state-run United Aircraft Corp. said the defect did not affect passenger safety.

Preach it, sister! Seriously. This post sums up my feelings exactly. You are so right and it is so unfortunate that teachers are under so much pressure and very under-appreciated. We are human and can only do so much. I know you do it all well and that every kid that comes to your classroom, no matter what issues they carry with them are super blessed to have you as their teacher. I seriously wish you could teach Avery & Tyson. I can't think of a better teacher...

Please tell me that all those scenarios haven't happened to you personally...oh my.
My hats off to teachers, especially those who are teaching the fundamentals of learning. I know how hard it is to homeschool at so many levels, but I'm not trying to present the same material 21 different ways.
God bless you, Angie.

Re: What paths lead to internal power??
Geeze what kind of malcontents are posting at such ridiculous hours of the day, night and morning . . *peers shiftily from side to side* . . (okay, I have a newborn in the house, what's your excuse?)
Seriously, okay, not seriously (why start now in this thread) . . I don't play well with fake and overdone reishiki . . it smacks of cultism and roleplaying to me and rubs me the wrong way . . but sometimes you suck it up when there's goods to be had.
Over time though, the goods I've been looking for seem to have been more accessible (or easily spotted) in places where less attention is paid on the way something's folded or the angle of a bow or . . other trifling stuff that people tend to bring up because they want to put you in your place.

"What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" writes William Shakespeare in his epic drama Romeo and Juliet. But I need to mention the name "William Shakespeare" here to indicate that it was his statement. When I ponder upon the question from that great play writer, I can conclude that name is nothing from personal point of view but it is everything from general point of view.
Rose called in any name is still a fragrant flower but if I say that "Romeo & Juliet" was scripted by Christopher Marlowe I will definitely be corrected for the error made. Rose is a rose because the fragrance emitted by any of its kind is the same but the thought scripted by William Shakespeare cannot be similar to that from Christopher Marlowe.
Namkarna (Naming Ceremony) is one among the Shodasa Samskara (16 sacraments). It is the first tangible award a Jeevatma (Individual Consciousness) gets when it takes the human birth. Name provides the identity and individuality. We have this gusto to name our kids on Gods and Goddess. Some consider the names of the Historical or Puranic characters, while a few want the names of Gurus and Saints. Though the infant will not know about the character it is named after, as it grows it will know and in some cases try to emulate the character.
In Hinduism it is common to look for names starting with the Aksharas (syllable) pertaining to the Rashi. The Rashi of the child is determined by the presence of Moon in that particular Zodiac. Each Rashi has a few ordained syllables which are preferred to be the starting of the child's name.
Why is it important to name the child using the Rashi-Akshara???
Sanskrit is Deva-bhasha, the language of Gods and is also the mother of all languages. Its Aksharamala (Garland of Alphabets) contains 13 Swara (Vowels), one Anuswara, one Visarga, 33 Vyanjana (Consonants), one Avagraha along with the Primordial syllable "OM." The Maharishis of ancient times had found through their intuition that the Aksharas have different influences on the energy centres called the Chakras. 6 Chakras are placed along the length of our Spinal Cord. Each Chakra has a particular number of petals. Each petal corresponds to a Sanskrit alphabet. In all the 50 Aksharas are said to be distributed to the 6 Chakras with 50 petals. Each petal vibrates with the utterance of that particular syllable; it was not mere visual experience but the experience of Nada, sound of cosmos.
These vibrations control various parts of the body and various aspects of our personality. The six energy centres are well connected through the nerves spreading throughout the body carrying the messages from the Sahasrara (Brain). When an Akshara is pronounced repeatedly, it heightens the influences of these Charkas. Hence it is important to have the name of the child which starts from the syllable pertaining to that Rashi.
Name does not decide the nature of an individual. A woman with the name Sowmya can be seen to be rude and arrogant and a man called Ugrappa can be calm and composed. Naming a child after a malicious character will not make it evil nor naming it after a magnanimous character makes it good. Naming a child is very personal. In Srimad Bhagvatham we have the story of Ajamila who was granted "Vishnuloka" for calling out the name of his son "Narayana" at the eleventh hour. Sri Krishna tells Arjuna in Bhagavad-Gita "Whoever, at the time of death quits the body remembering Me, at once attains My being." Ajamila had named his son Narayana and when on death bed kept on calling out his favourite son's name. Sri Krishna, the epitome of compassion did not even bother to look if the chanting was unintentional. He granted Ajamila His abode........All for naming his son after Him.

Tools For Solidarity – New Life For Your Unused Tools
OVER THE next few weeks you may have some reason to drop into the Belfast Central Library in Royal Avenue. If so, you can't miss an exhibition organised by the Tools for Solidarity charity. TFS, based in Edenderry Mill on the Crumlin Road in North Belfast, seeks to offer practical aid to communities in sub-Saharan Africa.
TFS aims to provide the communities in question with basic tools and machines so that they can practise their skills and improve their quality of life. The partnership groups of artisans and vocational training centres in Tanzania and Uganda produce items for direct sale in the local community.
TFS sends eleven different types of toolkits covering everything from carpentry, blacksmithing, building and construction through to plumbing and horticulture. Their premises are open on the first Sunday of each month to the public so that anyone interested can come along to see what they are all about.
It's probable that you have some tools lying around the house or your garden shed that you no longer use. Don't let them rust away to uselessness. Give them to TFS who will refurbish them and give them a new and useful life among people who really need them.
You can also help by supporting the annual Belfast Reggae Society tribute to Bob Marley. The proceedings are hosted by Belfast's well-known musical impresario, terry Hooley. All proceeds from the tribute go to Tools for Solidarity.
Find out more from www.toolsforsolidarity.org.uk or by ringing 028 90747473.

An interesting foreword Elaine, and a rather charming image, although not the best day for taking photographs, one still gets a feel for this place. It was interesting to note that your shutter speed was only 1/15 second at that you used a relatively small aperture. "Was you camera on a tripod?"
Regards Nathan
Regards Nathan
Nathan, you noticed. I am on a photography course at my local college and they sent us out taking pictures on low shutter speed and no tripods in the effort to make us learn from the mistakes I think. This is the result. Starting at the bottom end and learning as we go. That is why I had to go out in the rain and not use a tripod in low light. Got to show good and bad in our folders. Thanks for your lovely comments. Elaine
thanks Jim, There are only two chairs in this church. I did try to take inside shots but I was not able to use my tripod for this shoot, so they didn't show the interior at it's best. It is only ten minutes drive from my house so I will be going back when I can use the tripod. Will post the pictures when I do. Elaine

I'm really glad last night is over! I FINALLY caved and excepted the fact that my oldest daughter is old enough and smart enough to sleep in a "Big Girl" bed. Last night was the first night, She did Awesome. Never got out of bed once, not even in the morning when she woke up. She just sat in bed and read books until I came and got her (This is what she did in her crib). She just didn't realize that she could just get out.
I love my girls so much they keep me on my toes and make life so fun and interesting and fulfilling.
This morning they have been playing in the princess "tent."
I love the picture below, the crown is perfectly positioned above my daughters head.
Sorry for the lack of craftiness project goodness today...I just had to share my TRUE love!

Copeland Publishing is planning to run a series of articles in our 'Child' magazines next year that will help to inform our mainly city-based readers about issues relating to families living in the country.
They would be very interested to hear from any experienced freelance writers/journalists based in country areas (anywhere in Australia) who might be interested in writing feature stories of about 1800 words in length for the series.
Copeland Publishing produces the monthly (except for our combined December/January edition) parenting magazines Adelaide's Child, Brisbane's Child, Canberra's Child, Melbourne's Child, Perth's Child and Sydney's Child.
All of these magazines are FREE and are distributed wherever parents and children go – primarily through schools, education and health centres, and businesses that cater to families.
They reach about one million parents, from all socioeconomic groups, 11 times a year. They hope to run the series of articles mentioned above in all of these papers.
The first two editions for 2012 have educational themes, and the article in the series for our February 2012 Back-to-School edition might cover issues such as the necessity for some country families to send their children to boarding school and/or be about very small country schools that have to cater for children of all ages and all the factors that flow from this.
For the March edition, we wondered about it covering distance education/school of the air and so on.
But we would of course be most interested to hear other views about what these articles might cover.
If you are interested in writing for the series, please email Suzie Longstaff, Group Managing Editor, at email@example.com as soon as possible.

ever since i was born into this world, i only knew 7 important person in my life. my mum, dad and these 5 weird creatures who i dub as sisters and brothers. Yong Sofea is the eldest and today as Allah's permission she's already 21. arguing is something normal. very normal i mean. sometimes, we even pull each other's hair just because of something stupid. but the best part is, we share stories. sad stories, happy stories. this is all about sharing. so i guess you can see the power of having sisters and brothers, right? :) in conjunction with your birthday, i would like to tell you how much important you are to me. the role you are playing now, makes me feel awestruck about you. well, you care a lot about us and even worries a lot. i can see wrinkles there! haha. come home soon, sister. we miss you badly. :*

The miles of the journey in life, to include the discipline of endurance sports, and the struggles to live out my faith, have often provoked and provided spiritual and inspirational revelations, as well as a heighened awarenesss and appreciation for my many blessings. This work is my attempt to share those miles in hopes others might be blessed as well.

Facing the Waves
I am dreading this long run in the morning. It is not "if" it will beat me up but "how much?" Another fear to overcome on this journey.
But, the miles behind me have left experiences to foster courage for today, for tomorrow.
One particular memory takes me to an early morning before daylight, the morning of the event. The hotel lights shown that the American flag was flapping vigorously in the wind. Oh no ! What about those waves on the lake?
When we arrived at the race site it was still dark. In the blackness, I could hear waves rolling into shore. Oh my! Can I swim in choppy water? How bad will it be? Surely, we won't go out if is too bad. Am I going to drown?
When daylight came there was but one thing to do: get in the water. My practice swim revealed that I could indeed swim with some chop on the water. It was not as bad as it sounded or as foreboding as I had imagined in the dark. In fact, the practice swim was downright fun.
Tonight, I am playing my rough swim card; not believing what I might dread and fear in the night but strip myself of negative predictions and sleep well to wake and embark into the morning, to partake of beauty, and have fun reveling in health and blessed opportunity.

Wednesday marked the final day of the 2017 Major League Baseball Draft and Florida State went out with a bang.
Hall, 18, was born in Bermuda but has spent most of his life in London.
Junior shortstop Orlando Garcia was the next Red Raider selected by the San Francisco Giants as the 456th overall pick in the 15th round of the draft, according to the release. The MLB Draft's split between high school and college selections during the opening rounds generally fluctuates over the years, and the pendulum seems to be swinging toward the high schoolers again, at least with the draft's highest picks.
Burns is expected to be a two-way player at Auburn, where the 6-foot, 205-pound right-hander will likely round out the Tigers' weekend rotation with Casey Mize and Davis Daniel and either play in the infield or at DH.
Pope started every game of his WCU career - 138-of-138 - missing a chunk of his sophomore season in 2016 due to a wrist injury suffered on a HBP in the three-game series sweep at Kansas State.More news: Apple is going to stop app developers from harassing you
The Gators had three players taken Tuesday - SS Dalton Guthrie (Phillies, sixth round), and a pair of catchers in Michael Rivera (Indians, sixth round) and Mark Kolozsvary (Reds, seventh round).
He was rated as the 16th best prospect on the board by Baseball America, the 14th overall prospect by MLB.com, and the 8th-best prospect in this year's draft by ESPN's Keith Law. Jim Voyles closed out the Seminole picks in the 38th round, going to the Cardinals. Hall struck out 105 batters, allowing just 25 walks and 24 hits all season as opposing batters hit.129 against him.
Unlike the Orioles first two draft picks from Day 1, Lowther has been playing at Xavier University and became the highest MLB draft selection in Xavier baseball history.
The Utes also had a high school signee drafted in the 28th round.
The Baltimore Orioles selected D.L. Hall with the 21st pick in the 2017 Major League Baseball draft.

Just as we do not take any interest in the beliefs of any religion, so we stress our own interest here is not about the Religion of Islam but in Islamism, the process which leads to the transformation of meaning, the loss of autonomy and the radicalization of a person or group using the form of Religion for political purposes.
Dialogue Ireland has been reporting about Islamist groups, that is groups using undue influence in promoting their beliefs. This can be in the form of extreme radicalisation leading to the support of ISIl, or it can be similar to that found in our own country which is more gradual. This is exemplified in the way the Irish Republican Brotherhood managed to infiltrate and take over our own process towards independence. A clear example of this is Michael Collins who joined this organisation in London. More recently this strategy found Ireland at the centre of gradualist infiltration with the Muslim Brotherhood's role in Clonskeagh. It was the HQ for the Muslim Brotherhood in Europe. Originally it was funded by the Maktoum's from Dubai. They had funded the building of the mosque and school, but it was similar to the way people used to have to pay insurance to paramilitaries here in Ireland to keep them happy. In the gulf it was to keep the radicals off the emerging states. However, when Morsi came to power in Egypt the Maktoum's were dumped and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt with their fellow travelers in Gaza, Hamas were on a the pig's back, to use a very unIslamic term. They were hopeful of great support for the European project. However, the takeover by Sisi coincided with trials in the Gulf where the MB were ousted except in Qatar. Obviously suddenly Clonskeagh had lost its patron and you could see how quickly Sheik Hallawa's children found themselves on the wrong side of history as far as Egypt was concerned. This link gives us a good sense of the issues involved:
So how are we to see the role of Abdul Haseeb?
In a recent interview with Ger Ledden of Near FM Coolock which indicates the lack of critical awareness of who Ger Ledden is dealing with he asks about when the mosque will be built?
Ledden does not seem to be aware of the kind of programmes Abdul Haseeb himself was involved with at the same station.
You would think butter would not melt in his mouth.
In the interview he is asked when the mosque will get started and at 1:37 suggests at the end of 2014 or early in 2015.
Cloud cuckoo land, la la in Nama, Walter Mitty all come to mind. Here we have a guy playing with his Irish audience and trying to put himself at the centre of history. The reality is that nothing is happening here and it all based on this mosque with enough people to fill a couple of phone boxes.
This is a fantasist seeking attention, either funded by someone or in a delusional state.
See this link to get a sense of his background.
This what the site looked like in 2012:
So the public can get a sense of the location in the present we are publishing an album of photos taken last month and we are grateful to Micks Metaphors for permission to publish them here.

NBC's "Hannibal" was too good for this world. But all hope isn't lost.
Believe it or not, it's already been a year and a half since the plug was pulled and the final episode of "Hannibal" aired on NBC. Unfortunately, we only got three seasons of the exceptional television series before the low ratings caused the network to cancel it, and that's a particular bummer because the fourth season was set to delve into the iconic Silence of the Lambs story.
Ever since the depressing announcement was made, creator Bryan Fuller has been keeping the hope alive, teasing a potential return or maybe even a feature film spinoff. It's been a while since we've heard a peep about the possible re-animation of "Hannibal," but speaking with podcast Shock Waves earlier this month, Fuller provided some more insight into what he's planning.
Fuller explained what he'd love to do with the series, going forward:
We still hope that something can be worked out where we continue telling Hannibal Lecter stories and see The Silence of the Lambs in a way that the book hasn't been represented. I think the film adaptation is a perfect film, but there are a lot of interesting nooks and crannies to explore in a television series. I hope we get to tell the story.
Ideally for the cast, it would be as a mini-series, here and there. Let's do 6 to 8 episodes of that, and 6 to 8 episodes over here. And do it as an irregular thing.
We may not deserve it, but we NEED more of Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lecter.
Who would you cast to play Buffalo Bill? How about Clarice Starling?

I am taking a cue from Jeff Goins on this post. His challenge to write something from a life experience got me to thinking of all the different life experiences this Grama has had, and there have been many.
Some life experiences were amazing and some frightening; some brought dreams to reality and some turned dreams to nightmares. But I have come to realize that every experience had its time and place in my life, each one brought with it life lessons and greater wisdom. Each one had a part in making me who I am today and none of them slipped in without my heavenly Father knowing it was coming. Many of them caught me by surprise but not my Father.
I am very much aware that people can have the same basic experience but have a very different view of what that experience holds for them, therefore some may react very differently than others do. But as I share my experience I will be sharing my own "View "From The Bird House" (also the name of my blog).
You see, my last name is Bird and has been since 1965 when I married the love of my life and so I have quite a collection of memories, both good and bad, that I could write about. Some of those memories of experiences were not appreciated as much when I was younger but with age I have begun to see God's wisdom in bringing them and/or allowing them. Yes, for most wisdom, does come with age!
They brought wisdom for raising children, strengthening my marriage and so much more. Most of all they brought me to a closer relationship with my God!
But enough of the deep-thinking stuff. I would rather share my favorite experiences, the ones that just simply made me smile and even laugh out loud. Retelling those stories at family gatherings is one of our family's favorite things to do. And when we do we all laugh like it just happened yesterday and some of these stories are over forty years old. They are those stories that bring on those deep-down-belly-laughing fits that bring tears to your eyes.
Love them!
Now as you all know there are experiences that we laugh hysterically about now but weren't all that funny at the time they happened, but over the years we begin to see the humor in them (another advantage to ageing).
The one that stands out in my mind the most is and experience with our first-born grandson, who was three or four at the time. His mother, our daughter, had recently given birth to her second child, a little girl and they were all visiting at our home. Our daughter had gone to do something in another room and I was tending the kids.
I was holding the baby and began a conversation that I would soon regret and never forget. I asked my grandson how he liked his little sister and reminded him this is the little baby that was in mommy's tummy. His response blew me away and it was my first lesson as a grama about being careful what you ask a toddler.
He got very serious and looked me in the eye with his eyes growing bigger and said "I know and I used to be in my mommy's tummy too!" Not knowing enough to quit while I was ahead I continued this "cute" conversation and it went like this:
Me — I know, what do you think it was like in there?
Grandson – Getting more serious and raising both arms in the air making a big circle he said; "Grama, there was sperm everywhere and I was afraid, but they said" as he changed his voice to a gentler tone "Don't worry little boy we won't hurt you. We are going to help you get out of your egg. But then I got stuck in my mommy's gina and they had to cut me out of her tummy but my sister didn't get stuck so she came out of mommy's gina."
I was speechless! And that doesn't happen often.
I immediately called for my daughter and shared this revelation that her son had shared with me. Her explanation was that she and her husband had been watching a program called Nova a few days before and it was showing microscopic films of sperm traveling to the ova, or egg, and how they penetrated the egg to release the embryo. Added to that; our grandson had been asking how his sister got out of mommy's tummy and our daughter, believing you should use correct anatomical terms, explained in simple terms her birth. When he asked if he got here the same way they explained that he kind of got stuck so they had to make a cut in her tummy to get him out.
That grandson will be 29 this year and that story is still being told much to his chagrin. But he is a good sport because he has a little boy and knows he will soon have some stories of his own to tell.
Lesson Learned: Don't underestimate the ability of a toddler to put one and one together and get two. And take note of what your watching on TV with your toddler there, they are much smarter than you know.

Climate Change NOT!
Science Daily is reporting that new research indicates that there has been no rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide in 160 years.
Most of the carbon dioxide emitted by human activity does not remain in the atmosphere, but is instead absorbed by the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems. In fact, only about 45 percent of emitted carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere.
…Wolfgang Knorr of the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Bristol reanalyzed available atmospheric carbon dioxide and emissions data since 1850 and considers the uncertainties in the data.
In contradiction to some recent studies, he finds that the airborne fraction of carbon dioxide has not increased either during the past 150 years or during the most recent five decades.
Any United Nations or global mandates for climate change treaties or taxes is illegal because global warming and climate change is a hoax.

Rush Is Fine and Back To Work On Monday
UPDATE: Rush Limbaugh is fine and will be back to the golden microphone on Monday. Rush said that the United States has the best health care in the world. Having experienced health care myself for the last four months – I can tell you that it's true.
Thank you, God for delivering Rush from the jaws (and hatemongering fingers) of his enemies.
Prayers Go Up For Rush While Left Froth With Glee
Conservative radio talk host Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a Honolulu hospital on Wednesday afternoon with chest pains, sources told KITV.
Limbaugh suffered from chest pains, sources said.
Paramedics responded to the call at 2:41 p.m. at the Kahala Hotel and Resort.
Paramedics treated him and took him to Queen's Medical Center in serious condition.
Please continue to pray for Rush Limbaugh. The Leftwing lunatic fringe and MSM's are salivating at the prospect of the death of the bane of their existance. Hatemongering and vitriole is a liberal trait, not conservative.
UPDATE: 1:30am Hospital is reporting that Rush is resting comfortably. Sleep well, my friend. Get better soon.
UPDATE: Rush Limbaugh's website reports:
Rush was admitted to a Honolulu hospital today and is resting comfortably after suffering chest pains. Rush appreciates your prayers and wll wishes. He will keep you updated via RushLimbaugh.com and on Thursday's radio program.

Chris Matthews – Another Alinksy Advocate
Moonbattery, one of the best blogs on the intelligence-debilitating disease of liberalism, has brought light to another reason why Chris Matthews is whacked. His leg-tingling doesn't stop with Obama, but vibrates even more with his admission of another hero, Chicago Communist Saul Alinsky.
The Chicago community activist cesspool developed by Alinsky spawned our Termite in Chief, who has been advancing this agenda fairly openly via massive overspending à la the Cloward-Piven strategy,
Moonbattery is a daily must-read for all patriots fighting the war against Obama's Chicago-gangsta socialist takeover of our country.
For A Child Is Born
In a Fox News editorial, Rev Bill Shuler writes:
Christmas compels us to remember what matters most, in a world that too often forgets. The people and places central to the Christmas narrative have a message that is as relevant today as it was on the very first Christmas.
10 reminders at Christmas time:
1. Mary reminds us that even though you may feel vulnerable and shut out, God has not abandoned you.
2. The stable is a reminder that God's blessings are often hidden in unexpected places.
3. The wise men remind us that God is often found where others fail to look.
4. A manger reminds us that God's touch brings dignity to the ordinary.
5. A crowded inn reminds us that God only enters where he is invited.
6. The shepherds remind us that the good news of the Christ child came first to the lowly.
7. Herod reminds us that no enemy of the truth will triumph.
8. Joseph reminds us that each act of obedience is vital to the success of God's plans.
9. The angel, Gabriel, reminds us that nothing is impossible with God.
10. Bethlehem reminds us that Old Testament prophecies were fulfilled with the birth of Jesus. (Micah 5:2)

Duff Banned From Buying a Porsche
August 20, 2007
If you happen to see Hilary Duff on the road, I suggest you steer clear! Apparently the Duffster is such a bad driver that her manager has banned her from purchasing a Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
She says, "The car I want is a Porsche Cayenne Turbo. But my business manager doesn't want me to buy it - he says that I'm a terrible driver and don't need that kind of car.
"The other day I had a little accident because I was driving while I was on the phone. It was just a tap, nothing serious, so I thought, I'll keep going it's fine, whatever. But my business manager told me, 'You have to be careful, because people will sue you.' So I need to be cautious."
I'll be the first to admit that I'm a pretty bad driver too, isn't that our thing though? Us L.A. people all have road rage, we blame it on 'traffic' but realistically everyone here is always in such a hurry to get places...and of course it doesn't help that we're always on the phone.

July 7th 2015 Theme: Independence Day
"The new electronic independence re-creates the world in the image of a global village." ~~ Marshall McLuhan
Welcome to the first meeting in July blog. Today, we had 6 guests attend our meeting.
Amritha was our toastmaster.
The GAT(e) team was: Jung as Grammarian (Amicable), Julie as the Ah Counter, and Andrew as the Timer.
Our new officers for the term
July - Dec 2015 were inducted at the start of the meeting. James Collins, Area 54 Director, presided over the induction ceremony.
Before the induction of
new officers, he thanked
the outgoing officers for
their invaluable services.
• Linda, President
• Naser, VP Education
• Grace, VP Membership
• Diana, VP Public Relations
• Amritha, Secretary
• Jim, Treasurer
• Lynne, Sergeant at Arms
Naser was our first speaker today. He gave a talk from the Humorously Speaking Manual, Project 3. It was entitled "Flying Guru" and was delivered within 10 minutes.
Naser began his talk by asking – How many in the room would believe him if he said he could teach us to breathe fire or jump out of the space needle? Not many hands were raised.
He shared with us the meaning and origin of the word Guru - a Sanskrit word for teacher, meaning the remover of ignorance. In today's world, people often tend to ignore the many gurus around them. How does a guru feel when he is not taken seriously? To demonstrate his point he led us through a story.
You are seated in a flight flying across the Brazilian rain forests, a sudden engine failure leads to a crash. Surviving with some injuries, you find yourself amongst a group of people – all of them with their eyes covered with leaves. You soon figure out you could be their guru - teach them to remove their blindfold and see. And thus let them experience the beautiful world around them. Who would believe you? The problem is that people do not believe what they do not understand. He finished the story with the question - What can you do to promote understanding?
He suggested that we be open minded and be willing to listen to what gurus try to say.
He prompted us to see ourselves as gurus.
Naser was voted best speaker.
Jean was his evaluator. Jean liked how Naser started his speech by talking about "dragons breathing fire" "jumping out of the space needle". She mentioned how the use of his punchline, "A Guru might be Superman" fit in really well with his sudden costume change.
She appreciated the involvement of audience as gurus in his talk and how he prompted the audience to think of themselves as gurus. She especially liked his statement "People don't believe what they don't understand." She suggested creating more space for himself by pushing back the lectern.
Our second speaker was Nicki. She offered her 1stSpeech from the Competent Communicator Manual, Project #1 – Ice Breaker. She completed her speech within 6 minutes.
Nicki started her talk with the question - What should she be called – Nicki or Nicole? Growing up, she was called Nicole only when in trouble. At all other times, she went by her nickname Nicki. Now that she is a grown up woman, a mother and a business woman, would people take her name Nicki seriously? Apparently everyone did.
She started her career and became a successful insurance agent. After 10 years, she decided to pursue life as a nurse after helping her brother-in-law survive cancer. She felt a deep calling to be of service to others and went to college at age 35 to get a degree in pre-nursing.
Soon she realized she didn't want to be a nurse, instead was drawn towards being a business owner to pursue her ideas and vision. Today she runs her company "Seattle International BioMed" providing connections between Brazilian raw materials Suppliers and Medical and Chemical Biotechnology U.S. Companies.
She is the loving mother and teacher of her 16 year old son who taught her a lot about patience, understanding, hard work and determination.
At the end of her speech, she concluded that she has chosen to continue with both Nicki and Nicole.
Jim was her evaluator. He congratulated Nicki on her
solid Ice Breaker. He liked how she started with a question, maintained suspense throughout and how she tied it beautifully with the ending of her speech.
He liked her well- paced talk with smooth transitions. He pointed out that her speech was organized in a logical manner and appreciated her sense of humor.
Jim was pleased with how well Nicki handled the podium. As a suggestion, he encouraged her to move out in front of the podium and get more comfortable in her future talks.
Jim was voted the best evaluator.
Our third speaker was Anisha. She offered her 3rd Speech from the Competent Communicator Manual,
Project #3 – Get to the point. Her title was "Is it safe to jump in the lake?" She completed her speech within 7 minutes.
Throughout her speech, Anisha helped us understand the problem of water pollution. She shared with us how a friend of hers asked a question "Is it safe to jump into the lake in summer?" Given the fact that bodies of water are extremely polluted in her home country (India), she set out to look at the situation in Seattle. How safe are our bodies of water?
She posed a question to the audience "Where would water runoff occur more if 10 gallons were dumped onto a lawn or onto a pavement?" It turns out due to pavement being waterproof, water runoff occurs moreso on pavement.
She educated us about storm water runoff and how it affects the fish and wild life of our natural water resources. Fast flowing water causes erosion and thus sediments deposit in water sources which in turn cause depletion of oxygen from water – posing threat to wildlife and fish. Storm water runoff also increases the temperature of the streams thus adversely affecting wildlife and fish.
She mentioned that she would share tips and solution to deal with storm water runoff in her next talk.
Linda was her evaluator. Linda appreciated the
technical topic that Anisha chose. However, she did suggest further explanation of some terms.
Linda liked how the club members were involved in the speech. She pointed out Anisha had fine eye contact, good speech structure and her nervousness seemed very controlled. She wished that Anisha could have answered her leading question, "What can we do about Water Runoff?" in this speech rather than the next one.
She suggested Anisha to speak a bit louder so that her message is clear to the whole room.
She suggested Anisha to speak a bit louder so that her message is clear to the whole room.
Barb was our Table Topics Master. Due to time constraints, we had only 2 table topics speakers who were our guests Marcus and James Collins.
Marcus spoke about one brave/foolish act that he remembers. He spoke about how he foolishly picked up a table topics question during the meeting without actually realizing he had to speak.
He was voted the best Table Topics Speaker.
James Collins spoke about how parents and children find challenges in day to day life. By letting kids learn by trial and error, he pointed out it is hard as parents to watch them and not correct them often. While taking this approach, many times he watches his children learn the hard way.
Dave was our humorist. He shared a joke about an experience riding a horse. One day while he was horse riding, the horse started bouncing out of control. No matter how hard he tried to hold on, he was thrown off but remained hanging down from the horse as his foot got caught in the stirrup. Just as he was giving up hope and losing consciousness, the Walmart Greeter came and unplugged the horse!
Attendees were: Linda, Robert, Naser, Grace, Pauline, Dave, Rance, Diana, Andrew, Barb, Jim, Julie, Jean, Anisha, Nicki, Jung, Amritha as well as 6 guests: Marcus, Steve W., Stephanie T., Liz L., Jerry H. (a previous member who plans to reactivate his membership) and James Collins
Our active membership total currently is at 29.
Respectfully Submitted,

Day 9 had my Gunners with a 2 1/2 hour session with the Irish FA. As explained to us, the Irish FA's sole job in each age group is to take the best players in the country and make them better so maybe they can get looks abroad in England or Europe. It was a great session as the boys had a session on learning to open up while receiving a pass and before they even receive a pass having an idea on where they will pass. Great session. From there we spent the afternoon in Dublin on O'Connell st and the pubs.
Tomorrow our final day we end up with our 4th and final game vs the best pure club in Dublin, St.Josephs.... OLE

Well, we are in Minnesota right now. I didn't want to leave you hanging the whole time we were gone. (You know, all five days.) And since my grandpa doesn't have a computer I thought I would schedule this post ahead of time. No computer? Yea. And I like it. But, this really isn't a shocker since he doesn't even have a shower. Just a bathtub. Which I had the pleasure of using when I was seven months preggo. I just wanted to share some awesome photo booth pictures from the wedding last weekend!
Who doesn't love a photo booth? I mean seriously. When I see a backdrop and bucket of props, I know I'm going to have a good time. Carly and Josh love fun photo booths and always make the BEST props for them. Right before the wedding, Carly and her mom realized they forgot the tripod and camera they planned to have set up for the photo booth. You think that stopped people from using it? Not a chance. Thanks to iPhones, right? We all carry those around these days, plus I had my camera on me because I'm a little bit obsessed these days.

A new (to me) tool for parents
What Parents Need to Know
About Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Parents need to know that this is no PG movie -- in all ways, it's very similar to the previous two movies, which were rated PG-13. This film continues the series' trend toward darker, more intense material. For young children, the death of a major beloved character could be extremely upsetting. Other characters are bloodied, kicked, and cursed in frightening ways, and a very scary scene involving scary, skeletal characters is sure to scare the pants off of little kids. There are also some big emotional upheavals and scary attacks. And there's notably more sexuality -- albeit playfully depicted -- than in the past movies. Because the characters are now teens, much of the interaction between them and their friends centers on getting a boy or girlfriend, and there's plenty of snogging (making out). While Harry and his friends continue as strong positive role models, other characters' motives and plans become more ambiguous. And there are also a few scenes that include alcohol consumption -- including one in which a professor serves his students. SourceAlong with an overview, parents can find out more about the messages in the film, positive and negative
Role models:Professor Dumbledore is an excellent, selfless role model. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny are flawed teenagers, but that helps make them some of the most relatable characters in children's literature -- as well as admirable, since they're also loyal, brave, self-sacrificing, generous, and empathetic. On the flip side are the Death Eaters and the unreliable, enigmatic character of Severus Snape. Tom Riddle (Voldemort as a boy) is cruel, calculating, and cold -- but it's clear that most characters recognize these troubling qualities. Draco Malfoy, who has been "promoted" to Death Eater, is still shown as conflicted and scared about the task Voldemort assigns him. Professor Slughorn means well, but his head is turned by fame and fortune. Still, in the end, he manages to be brave.Professor Dumbledore is an excellent, selfle… More
What to watch out for
Violence :As in the book, the sixth movie includes the death of a beloved major character. Voldemort himself isn't shown in this installment (young Tom Riddle appears instead). Aside from the one murder (via killing curse), there are several injuries and close calls: a curse severely bloodies a character, a character is bruised and beaten, two characters are accidentally poisoned, a main character is seen having a life-threatening seizure, and Death Eaters set a house on fire and destroy buildings and structures both in the magical realm and in the Muggle world (as well as kidnap a Diagon Alley denizen). Harry and Dumbledore must also fend off the very frightening, skeleton-like creatures during a dangerous mission.As in the book, the sixth movie includes the de… More
Sex :Lots of flirting and "snogging" (kissing) among the Hogwarts students, both main characters and extras. Several discussions about attraction, romantic relationships, unrequited feelings, love potions, jealousy, and adolescent dating. Several kisses and instances of hand holding and longing gazes. Random couples are shown making out in the halls and at parties. Talk of getting together and/or breaking up threads through the whole movie.Lots of flirting and "snogging" (kissing) among the… More
Consumerism:Not an issue.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:Harry and his underage pals (the legal drinking age in England is 18) drink butterbeer, mead, and what looks like wine at the Three Broomsticks pub and a couple of dinner parties (it's unclear to those not versed in the books whether butterbeer is actually alcoholic). In one scene, as a celebration, a professor offers alcohol to Ron and Harry; the same professor serves drinks to several teens at a holiday party. Harry also takes a "luck" potion that alters his behavior in a way that seems slightly high, and Ron is thrown for a loop by a powerful love potion. Professor Slughorn and Hagrid get pretty deep into their cups in one scene.Harry and his underage pals (… More
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the best age for kids (and eager parents) to start getting into the Harry Potter series. Is it OK to read all the books (and see all the movies) at the same age?
- What do you think of the way the movie depicts the teens' romantic relationships? Are they believable? Is the story too hormone-filled for younger viewers?
- What do we learn about Voldemort's past in this movie? Does that change the way you feel about him?
- If you've read the book, what parts of the novel were left out? Which were faithfully adapted? How does this movie compare to the earlier ones as an adaptation?

How ironic I just posted the same thing although I only did the bear. You sure did an absolutely incredible job and definitely did this pattern justice. Did you get it from creative woodworks and crafts? The designer had a pattern that if I recall right was actually a 4 by 4 but you had to send in for it possibly purchase it. I can't tell from your picture but it looks like the big one. Again awesome job. I sure hope I live long enough to be able to do work as good as this! Thanks for sharing . Allison I just went and looked at all your work and it is all soo cool. I am in the middle of the rocky mountain purebred myself . It is to be a gift for my soon to be daughter-in-law. You have given me the inspiration to try even harder. Thanks! PEACE!!! Allison

» Thursday, July 21, 2016Interesting Times...Again
At least this morning it didn't involve James.
As I drove home this morning, James called. He had talked to the surgeon. They are going to put a stent in the worst of the three heart arteries tomorrow. If he is okay on Saturday they will send him home for a week to decompress/give his kidneys a rest, then he will go in for the other two stents on the Monday after. Hopefully the stents will work, and if he later needs a bypass, the kidneys will be on better footing. Of course the kidneys may never get better. A creatintine score of 3.5 may be his "new normal."
So I was in a fairly good mood when I got in the house...until I looked down at Tucker's water bowl. There was an ant near it. No, not an ant. Ants. And ants near the garbage can, on the stool next to the refrigerator, and crawling up the side of the cupboards next to the sink.
I freaked. The exterminator usually takes care of this, but it's been very dry and they get in looking for water. I ran for the vinegar spray and spent several frantic minutes spraying the back door to the deck (and on the deck) and the baseboards and the corners of all the kitchen with vinegar to destroy the trails while simultaneously stepping on/poking out ants and calling Northwest Exterminating with frantic notes in my voice. They responded splendidly and said they'd send someone over between eleven and one, and he actually arrived about 11:15.
In the meanwhile I tried to contact someone to come help me clean up the kitchen. If they were on the counters I had to clean them off. John and Betty came to my rescue, helped me remove stuff and John even cleaned the top of the stove off. We got the long counter cleared at least by the time the exterminator showed up, and then they brought me lunch and let me weep all over them and I just wailed out my frustration. It's like the Seven Plagues of Egypt here.
Anyway, after the exterminator left, having sprayed inside and out at the deck (where they undoubtedly climbed up, although I never found an ant trail) and even at the front door because I was afraid they were going to come in there, and I vacuumed and refilled Tucker's cleaned food dish and his water dispenser, I was able to head back to the hospital.
Since then we have had several "what the hell?" moments. For instance, someone asked James, "Why didn't you tell them when you got to the hospital that you had kidney problems?" Why not? Because he didn't know! Every time they have done a kidney test James says he has gotten a report back from Kaiser that he is midrange in this ratings and nothing was marked "high" or "abnormal." Then they gave him a blood transfusion because they say he is anemic! Where did that come from? Did the Heparin cause it, or anything else intravenous? He had blood tests a few months ago and apparently his tests didn't say he was anemic then!
Oh, well, time to take a shower and walk the dog, and then go back.
Please pray for James or similar good wishes. Thank you to the people who have been reading my mad ramblings and sending me e-mails of encouragement.

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

We went up "the high country" aka the Northeast pasture yesterday to find our tree. Here are some pictures of our adventure. Enjoy!
"Hey guys! Wait for me!" Cord found all the deepest drifts. Or maybe they just looked deep because of his short legs.
Shaking off the snow. Gotta make sure this is the right tree.
The trucks down there somewhere. Thanks honey! :)
Our lovely Charlie Brown Christmas Tree
Please excuse the ugly wall in the back. They put in an air conditioner before we moved in (which works great, by the way) and haven't gotten around to finishing the wall yet. The A/C is covered in plastic and tape because the wind blows through when it's uncovered. At least the red and white is festive. Right?
A great day!

1. Thumb holes. I love zip-ups with thumb holes! Your hands are free but sleeves are "pulled down" over your fingers a bit!
3. Amazing views of NYC. What could be more inspirational than the backdrop of the city that never sleeps?
4. Nail polish. I might be one of the least girly girls I know, but I have so many bottles of nail polish. I paint my nails at least twice a week and love changing the colors! I currently have my eyes on OPI's "What's Brooklyn Good Lookin?" from their Manhattan minis collection.

Trapping Asserts
The basic problem is to maintain context after an assert is thrown. If the assert is thrown as an exception then the default behavior is to catch it in the main program with no context for the original error. There are two workarounds for this, one using the debugger and a second using an alternative form of the assert macro.
I hope that the prose on this page can remain neutral. Documentation should not reveal the author's approval or disapproval of particular methods of trapping asserts.
Default behaviour
By default, Cloudy will throw a C++ exception when an assert fails.
There are genuine science reasons for preferring to use exceptions -- it means that a blown assert at one point doesn't kill an entire grid run, and allows context information for the failure to be obtained as the call stack unwinds.
To resolve problems in the code, it is often useful to have a debugger window open in the context of the assertion failure, before the stack unwinds. Many debuggers (including gdb and Visual Studio) allow you to trap all exceptions which are thrown. Unfortunately, this facility appears to be available in the NetBeans debugger only for Java code.
We will now describe how to trap the throwing of an exception by the ASSERT macro. We start with a description for some commonly used debuggers and then list some fail-safe means which should work on all debuggers.
Trapping within gdb
In gdb, you need to issue the 'catch throw' command before running the program, see edited highlights below.
[user@localhost source]$ gdb ./cloudy.exe GNU gdb Red Hat Linux (6.6-35.fc8rh) (gdb) catch throw Catchpoint 1 (throw) (gdb) run Starting program: /home/user/cloudy/trunk/source/cloudy.exe test crash assert [...etc...] If the next line says "I am still alive - the assert macro is not working ...." then there are problems. Catchpoint 1 (exception thrown) 0x4d1c6795 in __cxa_throw () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (gdb) where #0 0x4d1c6795 in __cxa_throw () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 #1 0x0810f8ba in ParseCrashDo (p=@0xbf9c3c70) at parse_crashdo.cpp:140 #2 0x081083ed in ParseCommands () at parser.h:183 #3 0x0805c1c9 in cloudy () at cloudy.cpp:85 #4 0x0804dc5a in cdDrive () at cddrive.cpp:126 #5 0x0804b503 in cdMain (argc=1, argv=0xbf9c4234) at maincl.cpp:330 #6 0x0804cd82 in main (argc=137173456, argv=0x82eaaf2) at maincl.cpp:109 (gdb) up #1 0x0810f8ba in ParseCrashDo (p=@0xbf9c3c70) at parse_crashdo.cpp:140 140 ASSERT( DBL_MAX < ZeroNum ); (gdb)
Trapping in the Visual Studio debugger
go to
Debug -> Exceptions...
under Visual Studio, you can set it to break when a C++ exception is thrown which should mean you retain context.
If we're developing under C++, it seems like a good thing to enable -- you'd probably want to know about any exception thrown, and it appears to remain set between sessions.
Placing a breakpoint in the badassert constructor
A standard breakpoint may be placed in the constructor for the
badassert class (i.e. the function
badassert::badassert()) in the file cddefines.cpp. This should act like any other code breakpoint: the routine which triggers the bad assert will be one level higher up in the call stack when the debugger starts.
The -a flag
This causes the code to issue an
abort() at the failure point rather than throw an exception. The effect of this is that the debugger window opens at the point of failure. Using the
-a flag means that the usual diagnostic information produced by the code is suppressed in all cases, so this flag should be avoided in runs outside a debugger. Note that this will cause Cloudy to abort on every failed assert, even the ones that are caught and recovered from. If the first failed assert is not the one you want to debug, then using the -a flag will make it impossible to reach the bug!
The OLD_ASSERT macro
The enables C-style assert behavior.
Define the macro
OLD_ASSERT during the compile step by including the option
when the compiler is invoked.
A tripped assert will call routine
Breakpoints should be set within
MyAssert to break within the debugger.
The call stack is preserved. This method has the same disadvantage as described in the section "The -a flag".

Hi all, welcome to my blog. My name is Alvonsius, and I live in Indonesia, a big beautiful country north of Australia. Hey, if you've heard about Bali, yes … Bali is not a country, it's an island located in Indonesia. Hope you understand it now 🙂
This blog contains my photography works. I am not a professional photographer, just a hobbyist trying to snap the best image I can, and let the world know about it. My main occupation is an IT worker on Gamatechno Indonesia, working 5 days a week to deliver best software for out client. The rest 2 days would be spent with my family or my photography gear (or both of them haha). I also an Linux enthusiast (err … or maybe just a normal user), using Ubuntu Linux for daily, work, and photographic activities. I have another blog, mainly talks about technical stuffs. You may check it at alvonsius.wordpress.com
