Justice, Missions and Outreach @ Faith UCC
At Faith UCC, we we are called to be agents of 'enacted love,' manifesting the passion of God through justice, education, and action. We
strive towards God's dream of peace and abundance for all people and creation,
seeking to be both transformed and transformational. This mission informs all areas of our life together, including how we witness, organize,
serve our neighbors, and give for the common good. We are an 'Open and Affirming' and a 'Peace with Justice' Church that is geared toward being relevant in an age of church irrelevancy when it comes to advocating for our neighbors and our world. We believe strongly that the church is indeed relevant to everything going on in the world today. Our on-going Mission/Outreach and Justice
endeavors include:
LGBT Equality Work/PRIDE
We participate in the St. Pete's PRIDE Parade each year! Advocating for justice and equality for our LGBT sisters and brothers is a high priority for us at Faith. We take 'radical welcome' very seriously! We also host PFLAG Dunedin once a month in our space.
FAST (Faith and Action for Strength Together)
FAST is a Faith-Based Community Organizing entity comprised of over 40 churches, synagogues and mosques for the purpose of advocating for justice in Pinellas County. FAST is involved in advocacy to ensure fairness and justice in the areas of – Affordable Housing, Job Creation and Retention (especially for rehabilitated ex-offenders), Healthcare and Dental Care for the Poor, Education, Drugs, Crime and neighborhood Safety and more.
Tabling Advocacy
On the third Sunday of each month, we act on our faith through letter writing, signing petitions or making phone calls to elected officials to encourage them to enact legislation that protects the poorest and most vulnerable and those that are feeling the brunt of discrimination. In the past, we have sent letters to the President, local and national congressional representatives, businesses and more around issues of workplace discrimination, environmental justice, gun control legislation, immigration, hunger, poverty, violence against women, fair pay and so much more! We put our faith into action and living it to the fullest.
Environmental Justice
As a community that believes we are interconnected to the natural world around us in intricate ways, Faith UCC advocates on behalf of the environment through our Green Team. We believe we are called by our faith to speak out against policies and practices that harm God's amazing creation. This is a new and growing justice ministry for us, so please watch for more details and most of al, join us in this endeavor! Together we can work to assure God's world is not harmed irrevocably for future generations.
Faith UCC has an active KIVA group that makes regular loans throughout the world and brings news to the community. We are very intentional about engaging the world in terms of justice and love. KIVA offers us that opportunity for meaningful outreach.

"Inestimable" is the word used by the director of Somerset House, Gwyn Miles, to describe Lord Rothschild's contribution to British cultural life. And indeed he has been giving to the arts for so long, and so generously, and proved so influential with other donors, that it is difficult to give a proper estimate of his achievements. Having chaired the government's arts and media honours committee for three years, perhaps Lord Rothschild himself might be the best person to attempt it.
In truth, there are simply very few people alive who know more about giving, and giving cleverly. Lord Rothschild's belief that a project is worth backing sends a clear message to other philanthropists, which reads as follows: it is. Often messages don't need to be sent, because he has already spoken to them personally.
Fine art is his particular passion. He served on the board of the Courtauld Institute, and chaired the National Gallery for seven transformative years in the 1980s, when public funding could not keep pace with the prices being commanded by old masters. Only a £50m endowment from Sir Paul Getty allowed the gallery to keep making acquisitions, while another very large donation from the Sainsbury family paid for its expansion into the Sainsbury wing. Lord Rothschild helped to bring those donations about.
Gwyn Miles
Director, Somerset House
Through the Rothschild Foundation, he has given a great deal to the gallery too, of course, along with the Courtauld, the British Museum, the Royal Ballet School, the Ashmolean Museum, the Royal Academy of Music, the new Migration Museum, and many others. Recently the foundation played a leading role in the campaigns to save Titian's Diana & Actaeon and Diana & Callisto for the country, and helped to fund the restoration of Auckland Castle, making it a huge draw for the northeast.
On a personal level, he has devoted a tremendous amount of time to Waddesdon Manor, which the foundation runs on behalf of the National Trust. There his innovative and ambitious projects, such as the recent lighting scheme from Bruce Munro, have brought in record numbers of visitors and made Waddesdon the third most visited National Trust property in the country. This is all part of a family tradition of philanthropy, which his children are continuing.
His record of investing in culture is so impressive, in fact, that in 1992 he was asked by the British government to do it on their behalf, as chair of the National Heritage Memorial Fund and then also, from 1994, as chair of the Heritage Lottery Fund.
"Chief shopper for the British nation," he has called the post, which involved giving away more than £1bn and carried intense scrutiny on every decision.
There was little doubt, however, that something had to be done about Somerset House. For more than 20 years people had campaigned to rescue this neoclassical palace from its fate as Europe's most beautiful tax office. What had not been clear was how. It was a "classic case", Lord Rothschild told the Academy of Achievement in 2000, of having to find a modern purpose for a neglected piece of public heritage. It was a classic case, as well, of his unique ability to make things happen.
The catalyst was the Gilbert Collection, a group of superb decorative objects amassed over many years by the British property tycoon Sir Arthur Gilbert. A good friend of Lord Rothschild's, he agreed to give it all to Somerset House – the largest gift of its kind ever made to Britain. A further boost came from the loan of some exhibits from the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg – again resulting, quite by chance, from a conversation between Lord Rothschild and the museum's director, another old friend.
Today, more than anybody else, Lord Rothschild is responsible for that rescue, which has turned Somerset House into a public palace of art, culture and ice-skating – a project he also pushed for. "This is Jacob having his ideas and nobody saying no," Miles says, trying to explain how it all came together. "I get infectious enthusiasms," is how Lord Rothschild puts it.
The Prince of Wales Medal for Arts Philanthropy celebrates individuals whose significant cultural philanthropy has played a crucial role in shaping and sustaining the cultural sector across the UK.
Arts & Business, part of Business in the Community, is managing this award on behalf of The Prince of Wales who is our President. This is the sixth year in a row he has presented these medals.
This year, the five honourees whose contributions have been both instrumental to the organisations they have supported, and inspirational to others are:
• Lady Bernstein
• Philip and Christine Carne
• Delfina Entrecanales
• Lord Rothschild
• Ian and Mercedes Stoutzker

This is three coats. I highly advise to use thin coats with this one, rather than the more generous, since the shimmer is rather fine, and using coats too thick will render those irregular frosty patterns that I'm personally not that fond of. Keeping them thin will give you stroke free manicure. Now, insert rant over my terrible camera and then note that these photos have been color corrected, since this luscious teal green was made teal blue by that sneaky little Canon thingy I've got.
Initially, I was just going to swatch this one, but I liked it so much I refused to take it off and continued to make it my full manicure for the day. Needless to say, I think it's a great color, and if you still haven't picked it up, you should.
Now I'll return to my sickbed. Yes, please.
Swedish word of the day:
säng -noun bed
I love mine.

Even with a great number of restaurants, cafes and pubs, it is difficult to find a good restaurant these days. In some restaurants you will be served bad food, other restaurants scare potential clients with prices. Friendly and assisting personnel also contribute to the overall image of any restaurant. If one happens to find a good place, he or she is really lucky.
We have been very fortunate to discover White Horse restaurant too as it is an amazing place that can suit for various events. The place is located in Salisbury and is immensely popular among local people. The restaurant has incredibly tasty food, friendly stuff and nice atmosphere. That is why it is a popular place not only for having dinner but also for celebration. Here are just some of the occasions that can be organized in White Horse.
- Wine tasting event. If you are the owner of the spirits shop and you want to promote your shop, there is a good idea – wine tasting event, and White Horse restaurant will gladly help you with that. Invite wine expert and offer guests an opportunity to taste different wines. You can give a short lesson on choosing good wine or serving it. The best day for hosting such event is, of course, Friday. And do not forget about attracting menu and cheese. What could be better on Friday night than cheese and wine?
- Live music night. Musical nights is one of the attracting and at the same time traditional ways to attract guests as people love live music. Plenty of brand-new bands, looking for popularity, offer their musical services to restaurants. White Horse is one of the restaurants that are always open for something new.
- Food tasting event. This event seems to be similar to wine tasting but the difference is that people get the opportunity to try the cuisine of other nationalities. Separate events can be dedicated to different cuisines – Italian, Georgian, French, Arabic, etc.
- Birthday party. White Horse restaurant is a nice place for having a birthday party. It has a good location and great food. It is possible to book the whole place for the event or arrange a couple of tables for a big company. The personnel loves when people come to celebrate something at their place, and always prepare surprises for the guests.
- Wedding. If you are looking for a budget variant to have a wedding, you should consider White Horse restaurant. The restaurant has experience of holding small weddings. You do not even imagine how nice it can look when decorated with flowers.
- Small corporate celebration. From time to time various companies book the place for small corporate events like New Year parties. White Horse has a spacious hall, which can be easily decorated to create New Year atmosphere.
This is just a small number of events that can be hosted in White Horse. The place is fully open for new ideas, events and formats.

Rubber Track Crawler Carriers
Rig Sources background as a crawler carrier dealer and service provider for multiple makes and models of rubber track crawler carriers gave them a unique insight into the problems that were common among the imported units they handled.
Its not that the crawler carriers from overseas were bad machines. The crawler carriers were probably perfectly engineered for their home markets. However the manufacturers didnt make any changes when they brought the crawler carriers to North America, and thats what we identified as their greatest defect and our greatest opportunity.
Rig Source mechanics and technicians had noticed the same issues over and over again as they serviced the import crawler carriers. Components that required frequent maintenance were hard to access, and some components were impossible to service without literally removing them from the crawler carriers frame with a cutting torch.
When the designs for the Terramac rubber track crawler carriers were drawn up, a tilt-up hood was added to ease a technicians access to key service areas. Components that were welded on the imported crawler carriers are bolted on the Terramac.
Another serious issue with the imported crawler carriers was parts availability. Since the crawler carriers were manufactured overseas, so were the components and parts that went into them. And those parts were even warehoused overseas, adding weeks or even months to order time.
The new Terramac crew decided to source all their parts from North America. The U.S.-made Cummins diesel used to power the Terramac is one example of this sourcing strategy.
Once wed made all those changes we just decided to go ahead and design Terramac Rubber Track Crawler Carriers to be best-in-class for the size, horsepower, driveline torque, carrying capacity and versatility.
For more information on purchasing a Terramac Rubber Track Crawler Carrier, contact our primary dealer, Rig Source, Inc. Rig Sources trained staff can provide speedy and accurate delivery on all parts and service requests.

A Sister is Forever-
by Bruce B. Wilmer
A sister's a sister forever,
A bond that diminishes never,,
A friend who is kindly and caring,,
A sibling God chooses for sharing.,
Few ties as deep and profound,
And with so much affection abound,
Though some thoughts are seldom expressed,
Love endures and survives every test.,
Of the constants that rest in the heart,,
A sister's a primary part.,
She'll always be there when you need her,
You listen, you value, you heed her.,
As growth, independence you ponder,,
Your feelings grow deeper and fonder;,
And life tells you one thing that is true:,
A sister's a large part of you.
Sibling Love-
Growing up as kids we were blessed
To have come from a loving home
Parents that guided and loved us
And never did us wrong.
We had a beautiful childhood
Many memories we all hold
We've always had that sibling bond
That's more precious than gold.
Mom and Dad had it hard
Raising six kids way back then
But we never went hungry or unclothed
And their love was Heaven sent.
I'm thankful that we were loved
Something money could never buy
This was the richness that filled our hearts
Because Mom and Dad always tried.
Now as I'm getting older
I've learnt to appreciate things much more
I'm thankful we loved each other
And each one of you I adore.
Today I want to say to each of you
I Love You with my whole heart
I'll Love You beyond this lifetime
And my love will never stop.
Ann Stareyes
Rakhi Day is Righteous Day by A.P.J.Abdul Kalam -
This full moon day our hearts are in brim
Feeling of faith and serenity in mind.
We light the lamps and our hears glow
Radiance of happiness and peace are in flow.
Harmonious homes are like streams of joy
Flowing and flourishing the landscape en route.
Nobility in heart and character in deed
Righteous homes alone make a beautiful State.
Sisters will tie the thread on the brothers
Abiding them to do only what is right and clean.
Put the Kumkum and blessed rice on the head
Where will dwell right thoughts and noble action.
A Brother Just Like You-
I just want to let you know
You mean the world to me
Only a heart as dear as yours
Would give so unselfishly
The many things you've done
All the times that you were there
Help me know deep down inside
How much you really care
Even though I might not say
I appreciate all you do
Richly blessed is how I feel
Having a brother just like you.

Wisley is £12.00 for an adult ticket which gets you entry to the full site, it's huge and i feel we got our money's worth. It seems they almost always have different activities for children and whilst we were there this weekend it was the harvest festival.. (hence the pumpkins dotted around) in addition to the very well kept gardens they also have a tropical green house which is pretty interesting to wander around. The food at Wisley is wonderful and not like an average cafeteria you may find at a National Trust Garden, the food is all fresh and they even have very yummy homemade cakes! I really enjoyed Wisley both times I've visited and would highly recommend it to any age!
Have you ever been to Wisley?!

Shoot of the week: Mad for Fashion
Hey loves! It's after midnight so it's technically Monday but I couldn't miss posting my favorite shoot this week and I just got around it. I've said several times that I love haute couture because this is wear art meets fashion and clothing becomes museum worthy. One of the queens of high fashion is most definitely the fierce Daphne Guinness. In this inspiring editorial she's wearing pieces by great designers such as Channel Haute Couture, Azzedine Alaia and Genghis Khan that take my breath away. The dramatic shots were created by Markus + Indrani's. Aren't you just like Daphne Mad for Fashion?

Drew Brees led New Orleans to a touchdown on his only series Sunday night, and the Saints beat the Arizona Cardinals 17-10 in the Hall of Fame game, officiated by a crew with college experience.
The game was canceled last year for the first time in 45 years because of the NFL's lockout of players. Labor issues also came into play in Sunday night's game - the seven officials were replacements.
The win completed a good weekend for the Saints, who needed one after their rough offseason overshadowed by the bounty scandal. Former Saints tackle Willie Roaf was part of the six-man induction class to the hall on Saturday night.
Arizona quarterback Kevin Kolb threw an interception and left with bruised ribs, hurting his chances of winning the starting job.

I was just wondering if anybody had any idea how the housing works. I've heard it varies from branch to branch. Some people seemed to have gotten a choice, while others were just offered a leopalace and that was their "choice".
So...how much help do they really provide you with? Is it really a choice? What if you reject all their "choices" then how will they help you?
I personally, don't really like leopalaces that much, but I get the feeling I'll be living in one .
Yeah, I know this is a little soon to be asking, but it's been something I've been wondering xD.

Google Shopping: Optimizing Product Attributes[ Edited ]

Re: Google Shopping: Optimizing Product Attributes
October 2013
Thank you for attending our Google Shopping Feed Office Hours on Tuesday. If you missed part of the session, please find the stream here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6GVPtJRVRI
To see any of our other sessions to the series please go to:
Part 1 "Pricing, Taxes & Shipping": http://goo.gl/ns63xG
Part 2 "Troubleshooting Disapprovals": http://goo.gl/uGksd8
Part 3 "Scaling Inventory Updates": http://goo.gl/n1fRKA
We have summarized the top questions from the Q&A portion of the event:
Q: How do I separate multiple values (UPC, EAC, etc.) in the GTIN field for a product in my feed?
A: The GTIN attribute accepts up to 10 values. Each value should be separated by a comma. In most cases, the GTIN attribute only needs 1 value.
Q: Do the non-mandatory fields, such as Google Product Category, affect product-query matching in any way?
A: Some attributes help us understand your data better, making it more relevant and also allow us to build great new tools like Shopping campaigns that allow you to bid more granularly on product categories.
Q: Should you include foreign language wording if your site has a world wide appeal?
A: It is OK to have a few foreign language words in your title or description if it helps describe the product. Be careful of overusing a foreign language - if Google determines that there is overuse of foreign words in one listing it will disapprove that item.
Q: If we have variant item data, should we use the same image for all variants?
A: No. You should include a separate image for that specific variant. If you are advertising a purple bag, be sure to add the corresponding image of a purple bag.
Q: What do you suggest for brands that have a lot of misspelled search queries? Can we include some misspellings in the description?
A: No. You would not want to include misspellings in your description or title. The description and title should match content on your landing page. It is not necessary to include additional keywords. Google search recognizes brand misspellings during the search and will correct the search query with "did you mean?" in most misspelling cases.
Q: I have many products with over 70 characters in the titles. How should I handle these products to display on Google Shopping?
A: We suggest optimizing to have the key information is in the first 30 characters of the title and not cutting down the titles. Characters displayed vary depending on where the ad is shown.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Tuesday afternoon released a 37-page "talking paper" on changing GSE servicing fees, while noting that Ginnie Mae compensation – for now – will not be part of the discussion.
"Because Ginnie Mae differs from the Enterprises in its model, powers and limitations, any change to servicing compensation or to servicer risk exposure" would have to be examined by the Ginnie Mae, which is part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
FHFA, as part of a joint initiative with the HUD, is now seeking comment on two GSE-only compensation models, after first floating the idea of change back in February.
Currently, servicers processing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans are paid a minimum of 25 basis points of the loan amount.
In its talking paper, FHFA once again floats the idea of paying a set dollar amount for servicing loans, while keeping open to the idea of maintaining a minimum servicing fee model similar to the current structure, but one with a reserve account option. "The reserve account would be available to offset unexpectedly high servicing costs resulting from extraordinary deteriorations in industry conditions," the talking paper notes.
The government seems to be leaning toward a new model that in particular addresses the servicing of delinquent loans, offering a higher fee structure, but some mortgage bankers believe this might actually incentivize servicers to allow borderline loans to go into arrears because it would trigger higher processing fees.
Over the past six months the agency has held formal and informal talks on the issue with several industry participants including mortgage bankers, megabanks with large MSR portfolios, and industry advisors who sell and hedge MSRs.
The regulator of Fannie and Freddie says commentators "expressed concerns that certain changes in the mortgage servicing compensation structure — specifically, a reduced MSF — would result in further consolidation in the servicing industry."
Those in favor of maintaining the status quo fear that "servicers without significant economies of scale would suffer if the servicing fee were significantly reduced," the agency explains. "They extrapolated that the end result would likely be the elimination of small- and medium-sized servicing entities for whom servicing would no longer be profitable or viable."
At this time it does not appear that FHFA is pushing any one idea particularly hard — though it's concerned about the processing of delinquent loans, particularly in light of the robosigning scandals — and still has an open mind on the issue.
Meanwhile, regulators are keen to note that the industry is "virtually uniform in their support for bifurcating the selling and servicing representations and warranties."
According to comments already received, mortgage professionals are worried about "the inability to split representations and warranties" which has become a hurdle to transfers of servicing portfolios, the agency says. "Successor servicers are reluctant to accept a transfer of servicing because of the requirement to accept the origination representations and warranties, and this hinders the transfer of servicing portfolios (and non-performing segments of servicing portfolios) in circumstances where a potential successor is concerned that a transferring servicer may have failed to meet required servicing performance standards."

Walgreens celebrates 80th anniversary of Marquette University store
DEERFIELD, Ill. — Walgreens on Thursday marked the 80th anniversary of a Milwaukee-based store that continues to serve the students and surrounding community of Marquette University.
The store, located on 16th St. and Wisconsin Ave., is the second-oldest Walgreens that still operates at its original location, the drug store chain said. The store experienced several innovations rolled out by Walgreens, including "touch-tone prefills," large-type prescription instructions and offering immunizations daily with no appointment necessary.
"Outside of one other Walgreens in Tennessee, no other store in the chain has ever celebrated this milestone," Walgreens district manager Rob Wucki said. "For eight decades, we've been the go-to destination for the health and daily living needs of Marquette students and the community at large. We're proud to call 16th and Wisconsin home and committed to many more years of service to come."

BMS, Ambrx ink deal to research, develop, commercialize diabetes, heart failure biologics
PRINCETON, N.J., and LA JOLLA, Calif. — Two drug makers have entered a collaboration for novel biologics programs in diabetes and heart failure.
Under the partnership, Bristol-Myers Squibb will receive exclusive worldwide rights to research, develop and commercialize biologics, based on research by Ambrx of fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) protein and relaxin hormone, which potentially can treat Type 2 diabetes and heart failure, respectively.
Under the terms of the agreement, Bristol will make an upfront payment of $24 million to Ambrx, as well as potential milestone payments and royalty payments on worldwide sales for both programs. Bristol and Ambrx also will enter research collaborations for both programs.
The lead compound in the FGF-21 program, ARX618 (or PEG-FGF-21) is in the final stages of preclinical development, while the relaxin program is in preclinical development.
"Bristol-Myers Squibb has a strong heritage discovering, developing and delivering medicines to treat diabetes and cardiovascular disease," Bristol-Myers Squibb SVP Francis Cuss said. "We are excited to be working with Ambrx, which has used its unique ReCode technology to create precisely engineered investigational biologics in both of these therapeutic areas. Our combined expertise will provide the best chance of bringing these innovative medicines to patients."
"These programs have shown tremendous potential in preclinical studies, and we believe that Bristol-Myers Squibb has the necessary expertise to best lead their continued development," Ambrx chief business officer Simon Allen said. "We look forward to using the revenues from this partnership to continue to grow our internal pipeline, which includes our promising antibody drug conjugate programs."

OTC asthma inhalers phased out by year end
SILVER SPRING, Md. — Epinephrine inhalers will not be made or sold after Dec. 31, and patients using them should get new prescriptions to replace them, the Food and Drug Administration said Thursday.
Epinephrine inhalers, which Armstrong Pharmaceutical markets under the brand name Primatene Mist, are used to relieve symptoms of mild asthma and are sold over-the-counter.
But because the inhalers contain chlorofluorocarbons, the product will no longer be available after the year's end due to requirements under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone, of which the United States is a signatory. Part of the protocol included an agreement to phase out CFCs.
"If you rely on an over-the-counter inhaler to relieve your asthma symptoms, it is important that you contact a healthcare professional to talk about switching to a different medicine to treat your asthma," FDA Division of Allergy and Rheumatology Products director Badrul Chowdhury said.
I wasn't and am still not a fan of this decision. The effect of OTC in asthma inhalers on the environment was practically nothing. This makes getting rescue inhalers more of a hassle, not to mention prescription asthma inhalers seem less effective, at least with my asthma.
I use one of the new style rescue inhalers. http://bit.ly/nHS8l6

Muriel Jones (nee Mansfield) was born at Albert Village in Leicestershire in 1931. At school, she was amongst the best in her class and won a scholarship to a local grammar school, eventually becoming a Teaching Assistant in Swadlincote, a town in neighbouring Derbyshire.
She met, and subsequently married, Keith Jones (an engineer at Rolls Royce) in July 1950, living for a while in my home town of Heanor before moving to Derby in the summer of 1959 - a place where she still lives.
Muriel is an avid reader and gardener, who also takes pleasure in a number of crafts, but it was only recently that I came to realise that she has a hidden talent - poetry.
This page is reserved exclusively for her work, all of which I have read with a great deal of interest. Her style is easy, and the topics in question full of nostalgia to which natives of Derbyshire will quickly relate.
Enough of all that, and on with the show.
A Foggy Morning
Foggy, foggy morning, a dark and chilly time.
Silent, eerie fingers creeping up the spine.
Silvery webs of gossamer shivering in the breeze,
Brush across the face, low amongst the trees.
But greater danger lurks upon the great highway,
With traffic speeding past, each and every whichway.
Regardless of conditions, their oblivion complete,
To hidden unknown factors that threaten and defeat.
Nature is mysterious and works in many ways,
Beautiful so often, but deadliness displays.
A Musical Awakening
The maestro raises his baton and the music begins.
Slowly and softly at first, as if in rehearsal.
The days progress, lighter and warmer, the orchestra swells.
Soloists practice incessantly to perfect their performance.
The notes ring out, clear and vibrant, in the stillness of the early morn.
The air is gradually filled with a crescendo of sound.
The ultimate fanfare to the break of day.
The dawn chorus portrayed in all its glory.
Across the Bay
All was peace and calm across the bay.
Tide washed sands glistened in the sun.
Fishermen gathered by the harbour,
A restful haven when their work was done.
The cliffs around all teemed with life,
Underground caverns their homes secrete.
Fascinating rock pools, with crabs and shrimps
Pleasantly warmed by the noon-day heat.
All at once the scene was changed.
The gentle breeze picked up its pace,
The sky turned black across the sun
As if a veil had dimmed its face.
The wind began to twist and swirl,
Scattering all within its wake
With spray ascending in a plume,
When on the rock the waves did break.
Then suddenly the storm was stilled,
An eerie silence lay.
Once again the sun shone through
With radiance across the bay.
Autumn time suggests the end
As living things begin to fade.
But this can be the best time,
If proper plans are laid.
The leaves and plants all change their hue
To yellow, orange, brown.
But what a lovely picture
Before they all fall down.
The butterflies and insects
Take up a different stance,
Preparing for the future
Though appearing in a trance.
So it is with people,
A new lifestyle takes place.
So much freedom to enjoy
Albeit at a slower pace.
Time to really look around
And appreciate the view.
To live life fuller than before,
And make those dreams come true.
Beautiful Wales
The breathtaking beauty of Wales
Will remain a source of delight
To millions who travel her pathways,
Be it morning, noon, or night.
The majesty of the mountains,
With Snowdon's mighty peak,
Are awesome in their grandeur,
The kingdom all might seek.
The steams and rivers gushing down
O'er rocky crags they rumble,
Spewing out their frothy foams
As waterfalls they tumble.
The many multi-coloured birds
Soar high in clear blue skies,
Then swoop to seek their nightly roost
As the glowing sunset dies.
Lovely landscaped valleys
Mossy and flower strewn,
Appear more like paradise
In the fullness of the noon.
Childhood Memories
Memories of childhood flit to and fro.
Hot summer days and places to go.
Boats on the river, seeing the sights,
Beautiful vistas, squeals of delight.
Fun of the fair enjoyed to the full,
Swingboats and coconuts, dodgems as well.
Visits to grandma – what quaint clothes she wore,
Strait-laced and sombre, with skirts to the floor,
On long balmy nights we'd linger awhile,
Glance at the moon and search for its smile.
Such memories are treasured as pieces of gold,
Retained in the mind, recalled when we're old.
Do You Remember?
Do you remember the green fields
Where we used to run and play?
The buttercups and daisies
And the smell of new-mown hay?
Whips and tops came out in spring,
Marbles too were all the rage.
Hoops to bowl along the street,
Bat and shuttlecock for any age.
Do you remember the dark woods
Where hide and seek was played?
The huge trees we used to climb,
Monarchs of all we surveyed.
Or even in the local park
On a warm summer's day,
We'd all surround the bandstand
When the band began to play.
We all have fond memories
Of events of yesteryear,
But our happy childhood days
Seem to stay with us so clear.
Fifty Years On
Fifty years have passed since I became your bride,
But we are the lucky ones to still be side by side.
The path has been a rocky one along so many years,
But we've travelled it together, through laughter and through tears.
Let's hope the way is smoother as we share our twilight years,
With more of the laughter, and only joyful tears.
(Golden wedding anniversary – 28th July 2000)
Grieve Not
Grieve not for me when I am gone,
Life after all must still go on.
Live each day, seek not tomorrow,
Waste no time on tears and sorrow.
Let joy and hope be your reaction,
Life is too short for retrospection.
Going on holiday gives us great pleasure,
It's one way of passing our newly-found leisure.
Some go abroad for the sun and the sea,
But the byways of Britain are a good place to be.
A South Cotswold village is the prettiest sight,
A stream winding through, all sparkling and bright.
With trout in the shallows, dashing to and fro,
Darting here and there, putting on a show.
The quaint little bridges spanning the streams
Lead to new pastures seen only in dreams.
Strange nooks and crannies with old-fashioned shops,
With things long-forgotten, like gay whips and tops.
The birds in their paradise, chirping all day long,
Singing to the world their merry freedom song.
Enhanced by the flowers and swathes of green grass,
There's no finer place one's free days to pass.
The artists abound to records all this beauty
For posterity's sake, it's clearly their duty.
Over Matlock Bath
Up, up and away the cable car did sway,
Spanning the wide ravine, broad vistas to be seen.
The river winding through the trees
Bowed into arches by the breeze.
Cars below appeared like toys, the songs of birds the only noise.
People on the nearby station gazed above in admiration.
Cameras clicked to snap the scene
Where they themselves had earlier been.
The summit reached with some relief,
The views around beyond belief.
Such peace and beauty on display
A joyous feeling to the day.
Pictures on a Wall
Pictures hanging on the wall
Happy memories do recall.
Some of family, also friend,
Some through which we play pretend.
Like sailing ship to distant lands
And stately home that looks so grand.
We dream that we are sailing too,
As privileged to take a view.
Country scenes and pretty flowers
Conjure up such peaceful hours,
As during cold, dark, rainy days
We gladly at those pictures gaze.
Pond Activity
The wildlife and plants of the pond's varied mood
Are dappled with sunlight through chinks in the wood.
The lilies and ferns provide nature's need
As small water creatures flit through the reeds.
Bright crested newts and humped-backed toad
Bask in the warmth of their peaceful abode.
Butterflies in profusion are in their highest heaven,
Whilst swarms of honey bees enjoy their search for pollen.
The amazement never ceases at the wonder of it all,
That from a total wilderness such beauty should befall.
What is happening to our city?
Chaos reigns, more's the pity.
Pedestrianisation is all around,
But cars and lorries still abound.
As up and down they all patrol,
Ignoring signs for their control.
Stores are always changing over,
The reason why, one can't discover.
Why the urge for chop and change,
Confusing all within its range?
No longer do we have the pleasure
Of sights we long ago did treasure.
Progress is all fine and well.
Where will it end? Who can tell!
Sky Dreaming
Gazing at the sky holds a fascination,
Wispy clouds unfold, giving inspiration.
Many picture form as they travel on the breeze,
Suggesting far off places, whilst billowing with ease.
A fairyland of wonder, mysterious and remote,
Away on magic carpet eventually you float.
Thrilling adventures are part of ancient lore,
So it's never surprising that you've been there before.
You meet the familiar as if in a daze,
Remembering the past viewed through a haze.
Most of it pleasant, though trembling with fear,
Wonderful memories of those you hold dear.
A bird flashes by to break concentration,
The plummet to earth becomes your salvation.
Such Is Life
Fragrant flower of delicate hue,
Despite your frailty you bloom for so long.
Battered by the elements through day and through night,
You still remain strong.
You pleasure to everyone,
Then slowly fade and fall to rest where you belong.
But in the fullness of time resurrection occurs
As the cycle of life goes on.
Tapestry on the Wall
O aged tapestry sewn with care,
What bygone embroidered there
Of long, dark days and wintry nights
And shovelling on more shiny brights.
As nimble fingers on careworn hands
Intertwined those coloured strands,
Making pictures to delight
Beneath the ever flickering light.
The cares and worries of the day
Slowly seemed to fade away.
As each small stich was put in place,
The lines were smoothed from tired face.
The eyes grew dim, thoughts drift away,
Planning for another day.
Strength of purpose was restored,
Diligence its own reward.
The Battle of the Supermarket Trolleys
The gentleman jumped, a look of dismay
Came over his face in a painful way.
Holding his heal, he turned with a glare
To behold an old lady standing there.
With one mighty heave, he spun round his trolley
And whacked her real hard. Oh dear! What folly!
Not to be outdone, she fought like a tiger
Wielding hers too with strength that belied her.
With heads held high, they then strode apart,
Discretion at last overruling the heart.
Calmness now reigned, the battle was done.
Each believing that they had it won!
The Chase
Dream becomes nightmare, the chase is on.
Turning and twisting, hither and thither, the chase quickens.
Lungs fit to burst, heart pounding,
Covered in perspiration, to wake with a start.
Blessed relief, the chase is over.
Not so for Reynard, nightmare becomes reality!
With no awakening!!
The Coming of Spring
Snowdrops lift their bell-like heads
As if about to shake and ring.
Ready to tell the whole wide world
Surely it must be nearly spring.
Morning breaks, all are awake
To hear the birds begin to sing.
Their breakfast warbling notes of joy,
Saying it really must be spring.
Crocus, tulips, daffodils bloom.
Insects, butterflies, on the wing.
Days become warmer, longer too.
Now it seems, at last, it's spring.
Yes, spring is in the air,
Of that there is no doubt.
As all of nature's wonders
Are truly blossoming out.
The Humming Bird
Humming bird, O humming bird,
A really amazing creature.
The structure of its wings
A truly unique feature.
Its colours are translucent,
Emerald, red and gold,
Turquoise, orange, purple too,
As the feathers they unfold.
Flowers are its life support,
Sipping nectar as it flies.
Hovering close, with probing beak,
Of every shape and size.
The pretty flower is well repaid,
As on the bird's fine breast
The pollen clings, to pollinate
The next plants where it rests.
The smallest bird is its claim,
It seems the fastest too.
Its magnificence enhances life,
Its beauty shining through.
The Steam Train
The goods were loaded in the van,
The mail in one huge bag.
The guard then blew his whistle,
Another waved his flag.
The carriage doors were all banged shut,
A hiss of steam and smoke.
Then suddenly the buffers clanged,
What joy such sounds evoke.
The engine sped along its track
To Places far and wide.
Plumes of smoke rose to the clouds
Across the countryside.
The chug, chug, chug, of the freight train
As it puffed up the steep incline,
Was greeted with a friendly hoot
From the train on the downward line.
The wonderful days of steam
Are remembered with great affection.
The nostalgia is still preserved
By enthusiasts with true dedication.
The Timeless Timepiece
The sundial stands in the garden
Timelessly passing the hours.
Encircled by a web of life
Amidst the summer of flowers.
And even in the winter gloom
The days go fleeting by.
For naught can stem the flow of time
Still less the sunless sky.
Though the movement of the timepiece
Is unique in its simplicity,
The power of its silence
Seems to echo in eternity.
As with the sands of time
Its shadow wavers never,
So procrastination steals,
The moment's lost forever.
The War Cry
War, war, war,
Becomes the constant cry
Of cold and savage people,
Intolerant and wry.
Never mind the bodies
Lying all around.
As long as profits flow
From oil below the ground.
Cash for bombs and weapons
Can readily be found.
What of help for soldiers,
Maimed, no future bound?
Concern for human rights
Has sadly gone astray,
But man of 'Grab and Greed'
Will surely rue the day.
The Weeping Silver Birch
The pendulous habit of the silver birch
Shows branches draped as a crinolene skirt.
Swirling in summer, a gorgeous green,
Whilst autumnal tints are later seen.
Lime-coloured catkins of long lamb's tails
Sway in the breeze like dancing frills.
Winter's frost lends a silvery hue
But the advent of spring heralds colours anew.
Shimmering raindrops hang from the tree,
Jewels from heaven, as clear as can be.
They glisten and sparkle the length of the stems, Resembling a necklace of bright diamond gems.
The birds take a sip
Thus quenching their thirst,
A shake of the bough
And the bubbles are burst.
Thinking of Me
Gazing at the sunset
Be not forlorn
Just watch for the sunrise
At break of dawn.
Imagine green pastures
Cool and serene
Surrounded by views
A lovely scene.
Think of me there
In that wonderful place,
And surely the thought
Will lighten your face.
With cares all now gone
My spirit is free.
In your garden of memories
Think of me.
To Lily
A treasure to love and behold
More precious to us than gold.
Whether in highways, byways, or woodland glade,
Her loveliness will never fade.
Her smile brings joy to all around,
As they wend their way homeward bound.
To The Winter Ermine
Dazzling white snow
Untouched and so pure.
Memories of you
In an earlier year.
Alas for man's land
At the butt of a gun.
What sadness was caused
By what he had done.
Your lovely white coat
All covered in blood,
What reason, one asks,
More, for what good?
Your last breath was taken,
Your life at an end.
With whitest of snow
No more will you blend.
Where Do We Draw the Line?
Where do we draw the line
When we cage a beautiful bird?
To save it from extinction
Is the view so often heard.
Or keeping a wild animal
Enclosed in a wire pen.
'Protection of the species.'
Say the many voices then.
Killing in the wild for survival
Is as old as the sands of time,
But as civilised human beings
Where do we draw the line?
The debate will always continue
As the pros and Cons are aired.
Whether 'tis better to be wild and free,
Or in safe keeping, but snared.

Core Holes At Long Valley Caldera Geothermal Area (Lachenbruch, Et Al., 1976)
From Open Energy Information
Exploration Activity: Core Holes At Long Valley Caldera Geothermal Area (Lachenbruch, Et Al., 1976)
|Exploration Activity Details
|Long Valley Caldera Geothermal Area
|Exploration Technique
|Core Holes
|Activity Date
|1962 - 1973
The given value was not understood.Eleven temperature-gradient test holes were drilled to depths of 113 to 271 m outside the caldera rim between 1962 and 1973 as a part of several U.S. Geological Survey heat flow studies of the Long Valley area. These drill holes, in addition to some 36 temperature profiles from holes completed to depths ranging from 5 to 325 m within the caldera, included the DC well and the CH1-7 core holes in the eastern part of the caldera, among others.[1][2] The maximum encountered temperature reported for these holes was approximately 110°C in CH7. Temperature reversals were detected in wells CH3, CH5, and CH7, and suggest that warm water flows laterally through the groundwater system to the east from Hot Creek Gorge toward Lake Crowley. These studies showed that minimal thermal gradients of <55°C/km occur along the caldera rim, which were interpreted as areas of recharge into the caldera groundwater system. Thermal gradients near hot spring occurrences were significantly higher (up to 910°C/km), but decrease with depth and typically reversed within the first hundred meters of the boreholes.

Computer Crash. Found Virus Responsible. Can't delete source folder.
My computer crashed less than a half hour ago. Just turned itself off. I was able to reboot and didn't lose anything. After some searching I discovered the source of the problem: US Tech Support Framework which is a partner company with My Clean PC which is a scam. I started to download My Clean PC months ago, but discovered before I finished that it was a scam and quickly aborted the download and deleted everything. Apparently, this US Tech Support Framework downloaded itself on my computer October 14th, long after the near run in with My Clean PC. And my computer didn't have any problems until today. Needless to say, I quickly ran my anti-malware program and anti-virus program, as well as deleted US Tech Support Framework. Then I began the task of thoroughly searching my computer to delete every single file, anything related to US Tech Support Framework. The last thing I found of it was in this folder: Config.msi. in OS [C:]. I deleted everything related to US Tech inside the folder, and then tried to delete the folder itself. By the way, the folder was created the same day that US Tech found its way on my computer. But I'm not able to delete the folder. I've tried everything. I've claimed ownership on the folder, made sure I had all the permissions. I am the administrator, but every time I try to delete I get an error message that says I require permission from the administrators to make changes to this folder.
I'm at a complete loss and I want all traces of this scam/virus gone. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Scientists have been developing artificial hearts for quite some time now. However, many of the current designs are unfortunately clunky, which presents difficulties in successfully integrating them into human tissue. To approach this issue, a team of researchers from ETH Zürich decided to take a cue from the biological human heart.
One problem with artificial hearts is that metal and plastic mechanisms can be difficult to integrate with tissue, or damage the blood because of their unnatural movement style.
A small team at ETH, led by doctoral student Nicholas Cohrs, has created what they say is the first artificial heart that's entirely soft, with its pumping mechanism achieved by causing the silicone ventricles to pump just like a real heart. Well, not exactly like a real heart — in-between the ventricles isn't just a wall but a chamber that fills and deflates to create the pumping action. But it's close.
A well-functioning artificial heart is a real necessity: about 26 million people worldwide suffer from heart failure while there is a shortage of donor hearts. Artificial blood pumps help to bridge the waiting time until a patient receives a donor heart or their own heart recovers.
The soft artificial heart was created from silicone using a 3D-printing, lost-wax casting technique; it weighs 390 grams and has a volume of 679 cm3. "It is a silicone monoblock with complex inner structure," explains Cohrs, who led team. This artificial heart has a right and a left ventricle, just like a real human heart, though they are not separated by a septum but by an additional chamber. This chamber is in- and deflated by pressurized air and is required to pump fluid from the blood chambers, thus replacing the muscle contraction of the human heart.
This heart is a proof of concept, not built for actual implantation — so the materials they made it from don't last more than a few thousands beats. That's about half an hour, depending on your heart rate. But the plan, obviously, is to have materials and designs that work for much longer than that.

If you are accused of criminal theft, the government has the burden of proving you guilty as charged. Theft defense lawyer Jason Trumpler in Austin, TX, can help you avoid a theft conviction and related consequences.
At Trumpler Law, we focus on Texas criminal defense law exclusively, and our record of results is a testament to our performance in the courtroom. Please contact our office online or call (512) 457-5200 to schedule a consultation.
The Texas penal code defines theft as unlawful appropriation with intent to deprive the owner of property. "Depriving," is withholding property from the rightful owner in specific ways:
Depending upon the value of the property in question and other factors, theft can be a misdemeanor or felony charge. If the accused has a prior conviction, the classification may be changed and the consequences increased. There are three classifications of misdemeanor theft:
|Value of Stolen Property/Service
|Potential Penalties
|Class C
|Less than $50
|$500 Fine
|Class B
|$2,000 Fine, 180 Day in Jail
|Class A
|$4,000 Fine, 1 Year in Jail
For property values of $1,500 but less than $20,000 (or for specific property types, such as a firearm) the charge is State Jail Felony Theft. The potential punishment is severe, including incarceration for up to two years and a fine of up to $10,000.
There are three categories of Texas felony theft:
|Stolen Property Value
|Potential Penalties
|Third Degree
|$20,000 - $99,999
|2-10 years in prison, $10,000 Fine
|Second Degree
|2-20 year sentence, $10,000 Fine
|First Degree
|$200,000 or more
|5-99 years in prison, $10,000 Fine
The Texas Theft Liability Act adds potential civil court penalties onto criminal theft charges. An adult (or parent of a minor) can be held liable for a victim's monetary losses. If a plaintiff sues and wins, he or she is entitled to collect actual damages for the value of stolen property in addition to a penalty award and recovery of legal fees and costs. This applies both ways, however: the defendant's legal fees and costs are covered by the plaintiff if the suit proves unsuccessful.
If you are accused of theft, there are many reasons to defend yourself. The help of an experienced criminal defense lawyer can prove invaluable.
You can count on Jason Trumpler to explore every possible defense on your behalf, and to hold the state accountable for questionable accusations and evidence. Our office will promptly request all exculpatory evidence, or material that is favorable to you. Upon request by your defense lawyer, the prosecutor has a legal duty to seek out, review, and provide this material. If you have been charged with any type of theft, we can help.

The demands on a person's time these days can seem overwhelming. Paying bills, keeping up with The Buffalo Bills (win or lose!), doing laundry (there's always laundry to do, right?), Facebook, and working, in general, keep a lot of adults very busy.
Parents often have a hard time finding any time for themselves. That's why sending a child to daycare can be a godsend. It's a couple hours a day for a couple days a week when mommy or daddy has some "me" time. This "me" time can be used to rest and/or to catch up on chores around the house, talking with friends/family, and/or getting work done– there's always work to be done!
Not only is daycare a time when parents can trust their little one is safe, being watched, and learning stuff, but it's also really good for the child.
One of the main benefits of sending a child to daycare is the opportunity for them to interact with their peers. Did you know children who attend daycare tend to have less emotional problems than those who don't? That's probably because they not only learn that it's okay to be away from their parents at times, but they also negotiate with their peers on all sorts of subjects, like "I want that toy, please," or "You be on my team for this game!"
Daycare is a chance for children to socialize and learn about new things. They interact with the adults in charge as well as fellow children. Their minds get stimulated. If their behavior causes a problem, they learn how to deal with their own thoughts and actions so as not to disturb others.
Interestingly, children who are surrounded by peers at daycare on a regular basis have been found to suffer from less colds throughout their elementary school years. They also learn how to behave with their peers, as well as the concepts of sharing, solving problems and being team players.
Watch Me Grow Daycare Center on Union Road in Cheektowaga is a great place for children. Parents should call 716-656-8050 to make an appointment for a visit to see if their child's a good fit for Watch Me Grow's programs.

Joe Boxer Flap Backpack Review
Patches are so in right now! This chambray bag comes embroidered with palm trees, smiley faces, and more fun stuff. The Joe Boxer backpack also features a magnetic exterior flap and plenty of interior pockets.
A good pick for the fashion-forward kid. It's 14" tall so a younger child will have no issues with the size, and an older kid or teen will appreciate the trendy smaller size.

Unfortunately, we do not take reservations at this time. We have found that it is entirely too difficult to honor them, being that many of our customers view eating crabs as a social event, as well as a meal. While this is what we love about the whole crab experience, this makes estimating the amount of time needed for each table nearly an impossible task. We are the busiest from 5-8 pm on weekends. We would recommend calling the morning of your planned visit so we can tell you if you can expect a wait or not. Also, we can give you current crab sizes and prices because this is something that changes daily. Our number is 410-576-9294 and we can be reached any time after 10:30AM.
