Libertarian Presidential Ticket Endorses Freedom To Marry Act In OhioAugust 6, 2012Posted in Blog, News
August 4, 2012, Toledo, OH – Libertarian Party Vice Presidential nominee Judge Jim Gray today urged Ohio voters to place the proposed Freedom to Marry amendment on the 2013 statewide ballot and to approve it. Gray endorsed the measure on behalf of both himself and presidential candidate and former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson.
Judge Gray announced the Libertarian ticket's support for Freedom to Marry at a news conference Saturday morning at the County Courthouse in Toledo.
Gray said, "Unlike Mitt Romney or President Obama, Governor Johnson and I believe the right to marry who we choose is a constitutionally protected right. People of different faiths and different beliefs are free to follow those beliefs when it comes to embracing or opposing same-sex marriage within those faiths and beliefs. However, it should not be the purview of government to impose one set of beliefs over another. And government absolutely should not sanction discrimination against gay Americans who choose to marry.
"Ohio's Freedom to Marry amendment is an important step toward marriage equality in a key state. Governor Johnson and I are proud to lend our support, and urge the good people of Ohio to put their state on the side of equality and against government being in the business of deciding who can marry whom."
Ian James, Co-Founder, FreedomOhio, said, "The FreedomOhio movement is honored to have Gary Johnson and Judge Jim Gray's endorsement of the Freedom to Marry and Religious Freedom amendment.
"Ohioans know marriage helps committed couples take care of each other and their families. Marriage is a public promise that allows a couple to build a life together based upon love and commitment," James continued.
"The seismic shifts in public opinion on marriage equality make it clear: It's time to grant two loving and committed adults the freedom to marry, while ensuring religious institutions have the freedom to perform or recognize a marriage.
"Ohio's Midwestern values are the secret ingredients for success of this amendment."

Garden Party Digital Scrapbook Freebie
Digital scrapbook overlays are one of the most versatile elements you can use.
They can take a plain paper and dress it up.
They can add a whole new level of dimension to a layout
They can help to unify and ground your scrapbook layout design by providing an all round border.
They can be blended using the blending mode function in your graphics editing software to create heaps of different looks.
The list goes on. But I think you probably get the idea.
I like scrapbook overlays.
So I was a bit surprised when I discovered that I hadn't included one in the Free Garden Party Mega Kit (if you're not a member of The Garden Party you can see what it's about here).
… until now.
Click on the image to download
Don't know how to use it?
Well here are some ideas
First drag the overlay onto your layout. (Tip: Hold the control key down whilst you drag. You'll keep a better grip on it that way.)
- You can recolor it by using the change color function in your software (Enhance>Adjust Color>Adjust Hue.Saturation in Photoshop Elements).
- You can adjust the opacity to make it a softer border.
- You can add a shadow to give it some extra dimension.
- You can play with the blending modes in your software to change the look and feel of it. In the scrapbook layout below I've used the Luminosity blending mode to get this soft look.
- You can do various combinations of the above. You might find that some actions will cancel out others. For example if you add a shadow after you've chosen a blending mode your overlay will revert back to Normal. Add your shadow first and then add the blending mode.
- You can drag it down to the size of your photo and sit it on top to make a soft translucent frame.
And if you've never used overlays before I have a couple of video tutorials that will give you step by step help as well as showing you lots of other cool digital scrapbooking techniques. You can check them out here: Intermediate Tutorial 3 and Advanced Tutorial 4
They each come with their own complimentary digital scrapbooking kit which includes at least one overlay.
I hope you enjoy playing with the Garden Party Overlay. And please do upload a copy of any scrapbook layouts or cards that you make with it to the Garden Party Facebook Page.
Let me know what you think. And please share this on Facebook or Twitter or wherever you talk with other scrapbookers.

Yes finally some knitting content.
knit in Peaches N Cream Stripes Colorway :Natural Stripes
on size 5 DPNs.
This bag was fun and easy to knit. I made mine a little shorter than most of the others I seen knit up. I was going for a Native American look. It kind of reminds me of the clay pots you might see food or water carried in. The name of the actual pot escapes me at this moment.
There is a contest going on for this bag so be sure to stop by NH Knitting Mama's blog and check it out. You have until September 3rd to knit one of your own to be entered.
And on a final note. I had no idea it would be so hard to give away something made by me for free. I have joinned in the Pay it Forward exchange going around see earlier post. I thought for sure 3 people would jump at the chance to recieve a free gift but so far only two people have taken me up on the offer. Who'd a thunk it. I can't even give away one of my hand sewn bags.Yep you guessed it I've decided to make up 3 of my Ruby June hand bags and give them away as my Pay it Forward gifts.Well I guess it will only be 2 bags since I can't get anyone else to take it off my hands.

In the evening, guests gather around the campfire for sundowners before dining. The camp works closely with the local Masai community who often provide dances and talks on Masai life, their cultures, traditions and ceremonies. Guest enjoy the opportunity to interact with the Masai, learning more about their traditional lifestyle.
There are few places in the world so startlingly beautiful as the Ngorongoro Crater found on our RATPANAT NGORONGORO SAFARI CAMP with unspoilt views over the largest and most perfectly collapsed volcanic caldera in the world. About a microcosm of African habitats, meadows, marshes, rivers, lakes and forests … the ground described as the "Noah's Ark" extends: hundreds of species live together in harmony in an environment of outstanding natural beauty and one of the areas animal watching most precious of Africa, Ngorongoro caldera.
The relative simplicity of the exterior of the 11 stores can not guess the brand new interior that is in them. There are no fences or boundaries in the camp: the stores are mounted facing the panoramic view of the crater, while wildlife can walk through the camp day and night. The Ratpanat Ngorongoro Safari Camp is a camp that proclaims "fancy", but many clever details ensure total comfort and a spontaneous and natural style.
A large amphitheater of the caldera viewed from the camp and fascinated by the constantly changing patterns of light and shadow. Situated as it is on the lip of one of the most dramatic natural wonders of the world, this structure so fantastic camp seems entirely appropriate.
The camp makes one feel in an oasis of civilization and comfort in the middle of the jungle. The decorative touches are achieved around, seeds and flowers decorate the shops and dining area.
The Ratpanat camps, yet their style, are designed to harmonize perfectly with the colors around the jungle and not aggressively emphasize the natural beauty that always surrounds them.
Once quite spacious and all the amenities of a good hotel private shops is unmistakably modern experience that most resembles the first expeditions of hunters and adventurers exploring an unknown Africa pioneers. A sense of unpretentious authenticity is palpable, with huge double beds handmade duvets covers flawlessly to protect against cold nights white cotton. Great bathroom mounted on the back, with showers that are airborne cubes. The Ratpanat team rushes to offer guests all the comforts of the safaris of yesteryear: a fire, a powerful symbol of life in the African bush, they shoot up against the pink sunset, is palpable sign that long safari day is over and it's time to relax, hot water carefully transported to each store for a well deserved shower!, and finally, a formal dinner, mounted long table in great detail, crystal, china and illuminated in the light of candles and as seasoned with stories of safari.
The camp is even more spectacular at night by dozens of candles that illuminate it and the clink of ice to accompany a drink while the sun sets or just enjoying the beautiful African skies at dusk around the campfire.

The majority of the publicity surrounding President Obama's Executive Action last week is concerned with the relief it gives to undocumented immigrants. Contrary to some reports, the proposals do NOT offer any amnesty or path to citizenship, and are just temporary measures.
1. DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) Expansion.
In June 2012, President Obama announced that some undocumented people, who had come to the US as children, would not be deported. These people are sometimes referred to as "Dreamers" after a proposed bill called the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act.
Obama's Executive Action expands the relief available as follows:
The USCIS website explains the former requirements for DACA.
All except the first and third criteria still apply.
USCIS may begin accepting applications approximately 90 days from November 20, 2014
2. Relief for Parents of Permanent Residents and Citizens
The most controversial element of Obama's proposals allow for the undocumented parents of US citizens or permanent residents to get work authorization and relief from deportation for 3 years. Applicants will need to register, submit biometric data, pass background checks, pay fees, and show that their child was born before November 20, 2014.
The requirements are:
USCIS may begin accepting applications approximately 180 days (6 months) from November 20, 2014.
For more information, please see the
DHS Memorandum on Deferred Action
DHS Memo on Secure Communities Program
Part 1 of this article
President Obama's speech last night on what is being called "Immigration Accountability Executive Action" (IAEA) primarily described the relief offered to parents of children who are US citizens pr permanent residents (green card holders), and mentioned a change in the focus of the enforcement arm (Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). However, there are far more details on the US Immigration Service website and in the White House Fact Sheet on the subject.
The blog post will cover the proposed changes that affect employment-based applicants and their employers, and prospective citizens. On Monday, I will cover the changes affecting undocumented immigrants and enforcement. Full details of the changes are not yet published, so I can only provide a summary for now.
Changes affecting non-immigrants.
1. Spouses of H-1B workers will get work authorization if the H-1B worker has "an approved LPR application" (this phrase is not defined yet).
2. Investors and entrepreneurs will be encouraged to immigrate by
4. Expand the period of Optional Practical Training (OPT) available to F-1 students in the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields, including requiring stronger ties between OPT students and their colleges and universities following graduation.
Changes to the permanent residence process.
1 The government is expected to change the way that Adjustment of Status applications are filed, to allow for employees to change jobs more easily, even if their priority date is not current.
2. Improve the ability of people who have filed for permanent residence to travel outside the US while the application is pending.
The government will promote the naturalization process through increased public awareness campaigns in the 10 states where 75% of permanent resident live. Payment of fees will be made easier by
As the USCIS website notes:
Important notice: These initiatives have not yet been implemented, and USCIS is not accepting any requests or applications at this time. Beware of anyone who offers to help you submit an application or a request for any of these actions before they are available. You could become a victim of an immigration scam.
Over the coming months, USCIS will produce detailed explanations, instructions, regulations and forms regarding the changes. Check back here (or subscribe to the feed) for frequent updates as new information emerges.
The New York Times is reporting that President Obama may issue executive orders next week to help 5 million undocumented immigrants and refocus the activities of 12,000 immigration officials.
Citing administration officials, The Times states that one feature of the legislation would grant work authorization to the parents of US citizen or permanent resident children. There is debate as to whether this benefit will be limited to people who have been in the US for 10 or 5 years.
According to the paper,
"Mr. Obama's actions will also expand opportunities for immigrants who have high-tech skills, shift extra security resources to the nation's southern border, revamp a controversial immigration enforcement program called Secure Communities, and provide clearer guidance to the agencies that enforce immigration laws about who should be a low priority for deportation, especially those with strong family ties and no serious criminal history."
The Washington Post reports that Representatives Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), two of the most vocal proponents for immigration reform, began circulating a letter of support on Wednesday that lays out the economic, political and legal arguments that they hope Obama's allies will be making on his behalf once he takes action and begins facing Republican criticism for doing so. A full draft of the letter is below.
Elaine Martin has been practising US and global immigration law since 1997. She is an immigrant herself (from Ireland), so has a special understanding of the legal and emotional challenges involved in relocating to a new country.

For a moment, think of your asphalt as though it were a hospital emergency room. Hospitals use triage, "a process for sorting injured people into groups based on their need for or likely benefit from immediate medical treatment. Triage is used in hospital emergency rooms, on battlefields, and at disaster sites when limited medical resources must be allocated."
It might seem a silly stretch to compare asphalt maintenance to important life-saving decisions, but some of the same principles can be useful. A common approach to maintenance (of all kinds) is to employ a so-called "worst-first" strategy. This dictates that the items in the worst disrepair should be addressed first. This isn't always the most prudent method, however. With limited budgets, a better approach is to sort problem areas into groups based on their "likely benefit from immediate treatment." For example, it may make sense to forego expensive repairs on one half of a property in the short term to provide low-budget preventative solutions on another corner of the property that is still in good shape.
According to the Asphalt Institute, the top three contributors to asphalt damage are "water, water, and water." While we cannot control how much water falls out of the sky, we can employ strategies to manage water flow and drainage efficiently. Thankfully, many of the solutions related to water drainage are also low-cost propositions including installation of berms, repairs of sinking or damaged catch basins, installation of trench drains, or subsidiary catch basins and dry wells.

Drainage FAQ's
What is a berm?
A berm is like a miniature speed bump and is used to divert or direct water toward catch basins or areas where the water can flow off the asphalt onto a permeable surface.
Can you raise or lower a catch basin?
Both can be done. There are "risers" or "spacers" between the "basin" and the surface grate. These can be added or removed to achieve the desired height.
What is the difference between a storm drain and a dry well?
A storm drain is a large-volume storm water management system that captures water at the surface at grated "catch basins" and collects and consolidates water from a large area. Most drains have a single large exit at their point of discharge into a canal, river, lake, reservoir, sea or ocean. A dry well collects water in a similar fashion at the surface, but is designed to discharge slowly into the soil and is meant only for small volumes of water.
How can I get rid of puddles on my parking lot?
Standing water on the parking lot surface is not a good thing. It will promote early deterioration and failure. We can employ different strategies depending on the depth and total number of puddles. Rather than try to "re-grade" the surface, it is usually best to try to harness what gravity is already doing and capture water at the existing low spots and deliver it to an existing storm drainage system. This can be done by placement of new catch basins or trench drains at the surface. Berms are also productive in "steering" water away from problem areas to begin with.

Growing intra-Asia has provided strong support to global trade in the last decade, and the outlook for regional trade remains relatively rosy, according to Clarksons.
Of the 9.9 billion tons of estimated world seaborne trade in 2013, more than 10 percent was intra-Asian trade of containers and key dry bulk commodities. Since 2003, world seaborne trade has risen by 50 percent, and the doubling of intra-Asian trade of containers and dry bulk commodities has driven 20 percent of this growth.
Intra-Asian container trade volumes have been one of the fastest growing parts of global container trade, increasing on average by 9 percent per annum in the last 10 years. By 2013, intra-Asian trade (including Indian Sub-Continent volumes) exceeded an estimated 500 million tons, 33 percent of total container trade.
Rapid economic development across Asian countries has underpinned this growth, alongside the multi-location manufacturing processes of goods prior to worldwide export. Trade involving China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations has unsurprisingly led the way, said Clarksons, a research services group.
Intra-Asian trade continues to provide this boost to seaborne volumes, and prospects for container trade in the region are positive, as consumer demand and manufacturing in emerging economies continue to grow, it added.

The Harley Davidson Riders Club Great Britain has no official connection to the Harley-
Harley -
Introducing the club
Welcome to the website of the Harley-
The club was established in 1949 when a few like minded riders got together in the White Lion pub in Surrey.
Now, over 70 years later it has become a National club with a Club membership of over 1,500 across this green and pleasant land and over 4,500 site correspondents worldwide.
The step on the ladder for many is registering on the discussion Forum. This will give you access to a vast plethora of knowledge that exists here. Unlike some Harley clubs we also include Buells, the Aermacchi HDs of the seventies and the MT series too. So it's not all just big twins and ape hangers, but we have that too.
You're welcome to use the website as a guest, but if you own a Harley-
There are regions of the Club throughout the Country with meetings most weeks. It's
a great way to pass some time and get to know the like-
We hope to see you around soon.
Cheers 'n -
Details of the Regions -
The Riders Club has a great bunch of people spread throughout the UK and beyond,
and as the saying goes -
Enjoy the site and post up in the "Newbies say hello section", it could be the best click of a mouse you have made for a long while.

In Addition, we will strengthen our famous "Starter Kit" solution, which positioned us as the fastest processor in setting up new accounts! Within merely 24 hours.
On the technology front, we will be shortly introducing our new integrated Payment Page solution. This new process will dynamically support credit card processing and Alternative Payment Options.

31 October 2010
We had another jam packed day today. The boys were able to scoop the guts out of their pumpkins, but we didn't even get around to carving them this year. Brian ended up making some quick jack-o-lanterns while passing out trick-or-treat candy. H's soccer team had play-offs today. And while they played a great game, they lost in the last few minutes by one goal. They were crushed. He was on a great team. After the game, we rushed home and went trick-or-treating on our block. Get this - the boys were more into passing out candy this year then actually going themselves. Fine by us. After a little while, we went over to the Elsmo's where we met up some other friends, then went over to another party. Whew.

Today at School
Taking a break from our Germany adventures this weekend. Only a couple more days next week! The Halloween festivities have begun... I'm sure it was because of our vacation, but this one really snuck up on me. The boys school had their annual parties and Halloween parade today. Both had a great time. C was a prisoner (his friend decided to go as a police man, which was so cute). H was a gross skeleton zombie with rats coming out of the rib cage. Gross. It's scary.

Germany - Day 7
On Thursday, we spent a cold and rainy day in one of my absolute favorite cities in the whole wide world -- Hamburg. It was just as beautiful as I remembered it. We didn't have much time there, but we did get to walk around a bit to see the Rathaus, Alster, walk around Jungfernstieg, eat lunch, and drive around the Reeperbahn and Hamburger Hafen, which is really very cool. That night, we drove over to Andrea & Andreas's for dinner. We were all completely wiped out, so just came back, hung out at "home" a little bit, and went to bed early for a quiet evening.

Germany - Day 6
After the boys and I took a dip in the pool, we drove back to Germany -- again, via the ferry. The ride in Denmark is quite boring, actually. But it's still quite beautiful. The ferry was much windier that day, but it's a very quick (45 minute) ride. This time, we drove to Bad Segeberg, to stay with my German Mami & Papi. We had a low key night, which included a trip to the grocery store to buy chocolates for the boy's classmates (a big hit, by the way). We stayed up too late, drinking too much wine, and having a great time.

Germany {Copenhagen} - Day 5
First stop -- Tivoli, of course. We bought the multi-ride pass so we could play all day. I know there is a bit of a photograph-overload in this post, but honestly, it was all so dreamy! One of my favorite is the shot of beautiful Copenhagen in the background with the boats in Tivoli (if you look really, really close, you can see H driving one boat, and C and Brian in another). After a good couple hours at Tivoli, we dragged the boys to Nyhavn to grab a quick bite. We braved the cold and sat at one of the outdoor cafés. All of the outdoor cafés have blankets -- we totally used them. Then we went on a harbor tour which was really interesting. The tour took us by The Little Mermaid, but when we got there, all that was in it's place was a giant screen with a live camera video. The Little Mermaid in is China right now. It was kind of funny, actually. After wards, the boys were anxious to get back to Tivoli, so we took them. And rode the rides, and ate the candy floss (cotton candy). It was really great. We came back to our hotel really late (after stopping at the train station to pick up wine), and were starving. Fortunately, one of the restaurants in the hotel is a great place called Sticks'n'sushi. They even had swing benches in the bar. It was another day we just didn't want to end. What a great city.

Germany {Copenhagen} - Day 4
Monday morning, we drove to Copenhagen, Denmark. I had been to Denmark for a couple quick stays, but never to Copenhagen. We were all super excited about it. It's about a four hour drive from where we were staying, including a ferry ride. Kind of a fun little adventure. We stayed at the Tivoli Hotel. It was a great place to stay with the kids -- we could walk to everything but there was a free shuttle service, swimming pool, fantastic breakfast, and admission tickets to Tivoli. Our first day, we just explored the city a bit. It's pretty great. Even I, who hates shopping, was swayed by the storefronts. Unfortunately, the boys wanted nothing to do with that, so we were pretty limited. But I'd really love to go back some day. On our way back, we decided to stop at Wagamama to grab some dinner (Asian noodle soup -- it was freezing out). We left out of a different door, and stumbled into Tivoli. The kids were absolutely in awe. So were we. It was stunning by night. We walked around a bit, and couldn't wait to come back the next day.

Germany - Day 3
On day three, I woke up earlier than normal, and went with Andrea and Andreas to a Gottesdienst (church service) that their oldest son was participating in. He had been at a week long retreat that ended with a service which was conducted by the kids. I haven't been to church in years, but it was pretty cool. Casual and fun. After that, we met up with the family, including my host brother Stefan and cousin Claudia, for a delicious meal of duck, red cabbage and potato croquettes. That afternoon we met up at my host-parent's beautiful new house, which is on a lake in Northern Germany. The boys got a ride in the row boat, and we enjoyed some coffee and cake. After wards, we all took a nice long walk. Across the street from their house is a forest, and a massive horse back riding area. Another perfect place to let H & C loose. That night, Brian and I stayed up way too late drinking beer with Andrea and Andreas. So much fun.

Germany - Day 2
After our 15 hour nap, we woke up, picked up our rental car and drove an hour and a half to meet up with my host-mom and dad, Andrea and Andreas's son, and my host-brother's children, who were at the vacation home in Sankt Peter-Ording. The last time Brian and I visited this home was ten years ago, and it was still being built. It's quite gorgeous, and the beach on the North Sea is breath-taking. Huge stretches of sand and brisk air -- it's a happy place for me. The boys loved just running free and picking up sea shells. After wards, we all went to dinner at a local restaurant, then drove home to Wahlstedt. It was a really great day.

Prez Weah tours, gages Bali Island for multi-purpose city building
MONROVIA, LIBERIA-President George Manneh Weah, toured the Bali Island north of the historic Providence Island in Monrovia.
President Weah said his visit was intended to assess the Island in an attempt to construct a multipurpose city. The Indian Government is expected to finance the project which will add beauty to Monrovia and also ease the traffic burden in Central Town.
President Weah disclosed Monday, March 26, 2018, that his government is interested in transforming the Island into modern facilities where national and international occasions could be held.
He said:" There will be a modern conference center on the Island, recreation facilities and water taxi transportation."
The President was accompanied on the Island by Indian Ambassador Upjit Shed Shadeva, as well as an array of senior government officials. The Liberian Leader said funding for the project is already available and actual work could start in about two months.
Balley Island has been abandoned since the independence of Liberia and has never been utilized.

- Description
- This skillfully crafted, hand-painted sculpture originates from an animation maquette in The Walt Disney Archives; the production molds for this piece are made from a digital three-dimensional scan. The Fantasia elephant maquette reproduced for this edition was on display at the end of 1966 on the north windowsill of Walt Disney's formal office on the Burbank Studios lot.Why does the paint coloration on Jiminy Cricket, Pinocchio and the Elephant from Fantasia look different than the other products from these films?The Walt Disney Archives Collection hand-matched the colors to the vintage moquettes using the Disney paint palette to make this collection look like the originals would have looked when initially created.There are 3,800 paint colors in the Disney paint palette. Those initial paints used for Disney films by the Ink and Paint Department were created by chemists on the Disney Studio lot. Many of the paints from those early films were ground from natural pigments and refined until they were the consistency of a velvety smooth cream.

Foetal remains burnt as clinical waste, used to heat British hospitals
London: The bodies of thousands of aborted and miscarried babies were incinerated as clinical waste, with some used to heat Britain's hospitals, an investigation has found.
Ten National Health Service trusts have admitted burning foetal remains alongside other rubbish while two others used the bodies in "waste-to-energy" plants that generate power for heat.
On Sunday night the Department of Health issued an instant ban on the practice Health Minister Dan Poulter described as "totally unacceptable".
At least 15,500 foetal remains were incinerated by 27 NHS trusts over the past two years alone, Britain's Channel 4 television program Dispatches discovered. The program, due to air on Monday night in Britain, found that parents who lost children in early pregnancy were often treated without compassion and were not consulted about what they wanted to happen to the remains.
One of the country's leading hospitals, Addenbrooke's in Cambridge, incinerated 797 foetuses of under 13 weeks gestation at their own waste-to-energy plant. Mothers were told the remains had been "cremated". Another waste-to-energy facility at Ipswich Hospital, operated by a private contractor, incinerated 1101 foetal remains between 2011 and last year. They were brought in from another hospital before being burnt, generating energy for the hospital site. Ipswich Hospital itself disposes of remains by cremation.
Dr Poulter said: "While the vast majority of hospitals are acting in the appropriate way, that must be the case for all hospitals and the Human Tissue Authority has now been asked to ensure that it acts on this issue without delay."
Sir Bruce Keogh, the NHS's medical director, has written to all NHS trusts telling them that the practice must stop.
Dame Sally Davies, the chief medical officer, has also written to the Human Tissue Authority to ask it make sure that guidance is clear. The Care Quality Commission said it would investigate the program's findings. Professor Sir Mike Richards, the chief inspector of hospitals, said he was "disappointed" at the findings. "This breaches our standard on respecting and involving people who use services and I'm keen for Dispatches to share their evidence with us," he said.
Ipswich Hospital Trust said it was concerned to discover that foetal remains from another hospital were incinerated on its site. A spokesman added that the trust "takes great care over foetal remains".
A spokesman for the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said trained health professionals discussed the options for disposal with parents "both verbally and in writing".
"The parents are given exactly the same choice on the disposal of foetal remains as for a stillborn child and their personal wishes are respected," the spokesman said.

Coffee is wonderful in so many ways. A steaming cup of it makes cold winter mornings infinitely more bearable, brings friends together for socializing in cozy coffee shops the world over, and delights the senses of smell and taste, but it also packs quite a punch of caffeine. For some people, this means uncomfortable jitteriness, dehydration, insomnia, and other undesirable side effects. Well, don't give up on America's favorite beverage just yet, because there's a way to dial down the caffeine without giving up your favorite brew in lieu of those less-than-satisfying decaf varieties.
Yay Chicory root!
Blending your favorite coffee with chicory root (the roasted, granulated roots of the endive plant) will dilute the caffeine content of your coffee and give it a delicious taste and smooth texture. So it's great for people who are trying to lower their caffeine intake.
Around the 1700's, French Canadians brought the practice of mixing chicory and coffee with them when they immigrated to the U.S. state of Louisiana, where it's a popular way to prepare coffee to this day. Additionally, chicory coffee is common in countries like India and South Africa. Sometimes it's even brewed as a coffee substitute.
Here's how to make your own Coffee and Chicory blend:
Grab a bowl or airtight plastic container and add 2 parts your favorite ground coffee and one part roasted chicory root and mix to combine. The "part" could be a scoop, a cup, or whatever amounts you want to make the batch in, although I suggest making small batches to begin and tinkering with the ratio of chicory to coffee until it suits your tastes before mixing a larger amount.
IMPORTANT: When you brew your chicory coffee, you will need about half as many scoops of your chicory and coffee blend as you usually use of regular coffee (this hold true for coffee makers as well as French presses). The chicory adds quite a bit of flavor, so it's easy to make it too strong. Again, you must adjust the amount you use to your preference. (There is a benefit to this: you save money on coffee!)
Where to find roasted chicory root:
Chicory root is often sold beside tea and coffee in health food stores. It can also be purchased on the internet. It's often called "granulated chicory root". Don't go for the finely powdered varieties sometimes found on the internet.
What if I don't want to mix my own chicory and coffee blends?
Coffees can be purchased that are already mixed with chicory. Brands that carry coffee and chicory mixes include Café du Monde and Community Coffee, and can be purchased in grocery stores and health food stores as well as online.
So put that in your coffee pot and brew it!

As you know, I love sending texts to random people to see what they'll reply back to me, a complete stranger. This time I sent 155 texts out.
Most people don't reply or tell me to skedaddle. That's cool. Whatever. But then some people do reply and what they reply is often funny, insightful, thought-provoking, heartbreaking, or just plain awesome.
And this time the theme was "awesome." I asked all 155 numbers the same question: "What's the #1 most awesome thing that makes you so awesomely… you?" Here are ten of my favorite responses:
The Wrong Numbers

As always, humans are indeed awesome. This was a fun one.
And, hey you. Keep being awesome.

Area of Expertise:
Commercial and residential design using structural steel, wood, light gauge and other special materials.
Memorable Project Story:
"The projects that are the most exciting for me are the ones that challenge me to think outside the box. I love a project that involves new types of building materials and the opportunity to develop innovative solutions when using these new materials alongside conventional construction materials. A recent example of this is a 5,000 sq. ft. 2-story residential project…the Smith residence…which was constructed using GCT Insulated Concrete Panels. The challenge was how to provide a proper connection between the panels and the concrete floor deck. Coming up with a solution that met the code requirements without compromising certain aspects of the project that were important to the client was an experience that was quite rewarding!"
Client Philosophy:
"Help fulfill the desire of the client with a design that is easy to read and more important, easy to build. In other words, keep it simple!"

Malcolm Arnold "Mal" Duncan, currently known as Vox (also known as the Guardian, Hornblower, and the Herald), is a fictional character, existing in the DC Universe.
Publication history
Mal Duncan made his first appearance in Teen Titans #26 and was created by Robert Kanigher and Nick Cardy.
Fictional character biography
Malcolm "Mal" Duncan[note 1] saves the Teen Titans from a street gang called the Hell Hawks by beating their leader in a boxing match.[1] Recruited by the Teen Titans, Mal feels unworthy due to his lack of abilities, and stows away on a rocket flight, which nearly costs him his life.[1][2] After a time, Mal discovers a strength-enhancing exoskeleton and the costume of the Guardian. Using these, he becomes the second Guardian.[3]
After assuming the Guardian mantle, Mal fights Azrael, the Angel of Death. Believing it to be a hallucination, Mal is surprised to awaken with the mystical Gabriel's Horn. Having defeated Azrael, Mal is permitted to live, provided he never loses another fight. The horn grants Mal unspecified powers, whenever the odds are against him in battle. Armed with the horn, Mal assumes the name Hornblower.[4]
Mal soon returns to his Guardian identity, claiming that too many people knew who he was.
Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Mal's uncostumed adventures are unchanged. However, in post-Crisis canon, he never took the identity of Guardian, and the Gabriel's Horn is given a very different origin. While the other Titans are on a mission, Mal inadvertently releases an old villain, the Gargoyle (formerly Mister Twister), from Limbo. He recaptures the villain, but finds the plans for a high-tech horn that would create spatial warps. With the help of Karen, he builds the horn and takes the identity of Herald. However, the Gargoyle implanted a computer virus into the horn that weakens the boundaries between the mortal world and Limbo, so he and his master, the Antithesis, will eventually escape. When Mal discovers this, he destroys the horn. He and Karen retire from super heroics, and move to California.[5]
While it seemed first that the introduction of the Herald identity retconned away the Hornblower name, later issues of Dan Jurgens' Teen Titans run confirmed that Mal had used the name Hornblower as well.
During the JLA/Titans event, Mal acquires a new Gabriel's Horn,[6] and later, he and Bumblebee join the short-lived Titans LA.[7] In the Titans Tomorrow storyline, the Mal of the alternate future becomes president of the Eastern United States.
When Doctor Light captures Green Arrow, taking him as a hostage and demanding to see the Titans (a plot to take revenge on the team that had often humiliated him), Mal, Bumblebee, and about two dozen other former Titans are assembled to fight him.[8] He and Bumblebee then join a team of heroes gathered by Troia to embark on an ominous mission into deep space during Infinite Crisis.[9] The group eventually encounters a rift in the universe caused by Alexander Luthor, who is re-creating the multiverse and restructuring it to create the "perfect" universe—a plan that would lead to the deaths of billions of people, and the entire post-crisis DC Universe. The team of heroes in space is able to temporarily stop Luthor, but in the resulting chaos they are scattered; some are killed, while others go missing for varying lengths of time, including Mal and Karen.
Four weeks after disappearing in space, Mal is rescued from a Zeta Beam transport accident. His lungs and vocal cords were damaged after the Gabriel's Horn blew up in his face. Mal's body rejected the cybernetic grafting of parts from the Red Tornado until Steel used his Pseudocyte technology to permanently graft the parts into Mal's body.[10]
One Year Later
One whole year after the events in Infinite Crisis, Mal has joined the Doom Patrol alongside his wife Bumblebee.[11][12] Now going by the codename Vox, Mal speaks with a synthesized voice box which can create unusually strong hypersonic blasts and open dimensional portals, wormholes, and vortexes similar to the Gabriel Horn. Later, in an issue of the newest Doom Patrol series, Mal and Karen are now divorced.[citation needed]
Following the disbanding of the Doom Patrol, Bumblebee appears as one of the former Titans who arrives at Titans Tower to repel Superboy-Prime and the Legion of Doom.
The New 52
In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC's continuity. In this new timeline, Mal is introduced as an award-winning film composer.[13] He is later kidnapped by Mister Twister, who reveals that as a teenager, Mal was a member of the original Teen Titans under the name Herald. The Titans had allowed their memories of each other to be erased in order to defeat Twister, but he now seeks to use Mal's sonic abilities to complete a ritual that will allow a powerful demonic entity to enter the human world.[14] When Karen and the former Titans arrive, they are able to defeat Mister Twister once and for all.[15]
Powers and abilities
Formerly, his Gabriel Horn could open up multi-dimensional portals, and generate unusually strong hypersonic blasts. He now relies more on his artificial lungs and voice box to achieve the same destructive, deafening sonic/audio effects. He also has a background in kickboxing, and hand-to-hand combat, and is in exceptional physical condition.
In the New 52 continuity, Mal possesses sonic and harmonic abilities that he projects by using his voice.
In other media
- The Herald first appears in the Teen Titans episode "Calling All Titans," voiced by Khary Payton. Unlike in the comic books, Herald wears a mask. Blowing his horn allows him to open circular rifts, wormholes and portals, to other worlds, planets, realms or other places in his present dimension, even outer space itself. Herald is an honorary Titan, and fights off See-More and Warp. While doing so, his communicator is disabled. In "Titans Together," he teams up with Jericho, Pantha, Más, and Beast Boy in a rescue mission to save the remaining Titans. They were overpowered, but reinforcements arrived. The Herald used his horn to get rid of Punk Rocket and the dragon Malchior. He also saved the Titans by teleporting the Brain's fusion bomb into outer space.
- Mal Duncan appears in the Young Justice episode "Targets," voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. He is portrayed as a student at the high school Conner and M'gann attend. He and Conner are shown to be at odds with each other, "facing him down" (as Marvin puts it) before class starts. He is again shown in "Secrets" at the school's Halloween dance where he has dressed up as "Superman, done right" (Superboy's costume from his original comic appearance). However, in this episode, probably through the course of time, he and Conner appear to be at peace with each other. In "Happy New Year", Mal is still with Karen who has now officially become Bumblebee and joined the team at some point within the five-year gap between seasons one and two. Mal Duncan has also joined the team and serves as their mission coordinator. According to Greg Weisman, he assumes a superhero identity sometime in Season 2.[16] In the Season 2 episode "Cornered" when Despero locks down the Hall of Justice and disables most of the team, Mal dons the uniform of Guardian and engages the villain, distracting him long enough for Superboy, Miss Martian and Zatanna to come up with a plan to disable Despero. He later continues to use the Guardian identity for the rest of the second season and is a full team member until Young Justice: Outsiders. In Young Justice: Outsiders, Mal and Karen visit Conner, M'gann and Snapper Carr's household for Thanksgiving. He is also now bald and has a beard. He is seen again in "Unknown Factors" supporting Karen when she gives birth to their daughter, Rhea.
- Mal Duncan is mentioned in the Flash episode "The Nuclear Man." Barry Allen states that he is playing at an underground jazz club in Central City that night.
- Mal Duncan appears as a background student in DC Superhero Girls.
Herald was also featured in an issue of Teen Titans Go! wherein he helped Raven find Pantha, Kole, Gnarrk, and Beast Boy. While he isn't married to Bumblebee in the animated continuity, their relationship is alluded to in #39 where Larry The Titan shoots them with Cupid's Love Arrows. In Teen Titans #48, he helps send Killowat back to his dimension in the Multiverse.
- ^ His surname "Duncan" is revealed in Teen Titans #44 (November 1976), and his formal first name "Malcolm" is revealed in Teen Titans #45 (December 1976). Prior to these issues, he is known simply as "Mal"

A chara,
Throughout May and June, the Greater Ardoyne Residents Collective (GARC) held a number of positive meetings to furnish other Community Leaders and Elected Representatives with our analysis of unwelcome Loyal Order parades through our area. The discussions included Fr. Gary Donegan, (Parish Priest), Crumlin Ardoyne Residents Association (CARA), Social Democratic & Labour Party (SDLP) and senior Youth Leaders from Ardoyne Youth Providers Forum, Ardoyne Youth Club, Ardoyne & Marrowbone Youth Forum and Club Oige
We wrote to Sinn Fein the same day as the SDLP by email, however they didn't respond until late on Thursday 7th July. We wrote back acknowledging his email and that we would be more than willing to meet with him. We also requested that any meeting, take place in a public building ie: Ardoyne Community Centre with independant Community Representatives. So that any matters arising, could be clarified as a true and accurate account of proceedings and asking Mr. Kelly was he willing to withdraw negative and untrue comments he made to the Media about our Collective the year before? To date, he still hasn't responded but informed the North Belfast News (14/7/11) that he would not retract his misleading statements about GARC.
GARC also held a lengthy meeting with the Parades Commission in Holy Cross Monastery on June 9. We invited the above Youth Leaders to give the Commission their opinion on how sectarian parades negatively affect the youth of Ardoyne and the Oldpark areas obviously to no avail.
Future talks between GARC and CARA were scuppered due to a misleading media report and it is a matter of regret that we were not able to formulate a unified plan to oppose unwelcome parades. We reiterate that no one resident's group has a monopoly on the parades issue in our community. Therefore, GARC nor CARA can propose, negotiate or compromise with the North & West Belfast Parades Forum without FIRST conducting extensive consultation and approval from the Greater Ardoyne community. Unfortunately, this has not been done to date!
On July 8, GARC held another important meeting in Ardoyne Community Centre with a number of Political Parties and Groups that included, Belfast representatives of the Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP), Eirigi, Republican Network for Unity (RNU), 32 County Sovereignty Movement and the James Connolly Republican Society. The objective of this meeting, as with the others was to ask the above organisations to take our lead during the protest and use their influence with their respective memberships in preventing any potential situation in our area on the Twelfth.
After the Parades Commission wrongly ruled in favour of not ONE but TWO Orange Order parades to take place through Ardoyne. GARC decided to apply for a residents march. We did so, as is our right to express our community's right to 'live free from fear and sectarian harassment'. On July 8, we were informed by the Commission that our march would NOT BE permitted on the Crumlin Road on July 12, 2011. We also delivered over 6,000 leaflets throughout Greater Ardoyne under the watchful eye of the partial PSNI on foot patrol, jeeps and unmarked cars for two hours. Isn't it a pity they don't pay the same attention to the well-known criminals who freely roam Ardoyne daily. The leaflet informed residents about the rationale behind our right to march and asked everyone especially the young to refrain from violent actions. We also invited everyone to participate in the march.
Much has been written about the rioting. However, what has been missing has been who actually created the riots in the first place especially in S/F's nonsensical leaflet of lies being distributed. Early on the Twelfth afternoon, GARC met with local Youth Workers and we gave them details of our march and asked for their help in removing potential trouble makers. According to many local residents who were waiting at the top of Estorial Pk for the march. Fr. Gary Donegan and Alban McGuinness MLA, made Media quotes that dozens of riot-clad PSNI members moved into Estorial much too early. They were immediately accompanined by a number of Land Rovers and Water Cannon were deployed. These actions only inflamed youths, some of who are known criminal elements and frightened residents. In response, a couple of youths threw stones at PSNI lines and were immediately beaten back by Plastic Bullets and water cannon.
Within moments, GARC march organisers were notified that a situation was unfolding in Estorial. We were forced to change direction of our march away from the planned route instead, we opted to travel down Strathroy Pk along Etna Drive and up Brompton Pk to it's junction with Balhom Dr. FACT.
At the top of Brompton, the march was met by another huge line of a well-armed and prepared riot squad, Land Rovers and another Water Cannon. It was then the GARC Spokesperson, Dee Fennell addressed marchers, thanking them for showing their continued support and deploring the Parades Commission for again permitting an unnecessary and most certainly unwelcome Orange march. At one point, Dee demanded a couple of stone-throwers STOP. They were quickly moved on by GARC Marshals and no other incidents occurred whilst the rally continued. After the speech, the vast majority of marchers dispersed peacefully. FACT. GARC came and did what they said what they would do, nothing more - nothing less!
The day before, Sinn Fein members visited residents in Estorial Pk and Balhom Dr and maliciously informed them that GARC's march would cause a riot and they should remove all their garden ornaments and patio furniture etc. They were also told that S/F would be present in numbers to prevent trouble makers. This begs the question WHY were S/F cowering in the Chapel grounds within the sterile area clearly agreed between them and the PSNI. In order for them to hold their facilitation protest under the guise of CARA.
According to some Politicians who have attempted to misrepresent GARC's integrity by erroneously linking us to 'dissident' Republican groups. We state categorically, that we are a single-issue resident's Collective. We share a strong common goal to end unwelcome Loyal Order parades which ends every year in havoc and trouble. GARC advocate an viable alternative route for these marches, where they are indeed welcomed. Regardless of smears and untruths, we will continue to represent those residents from the greater Ardoyne area who have been repeatedly denied the right to live in peace, free from fear and sectarian harassment!
Is Mise,
Martin Óg MeehanGARC
