Painting by Yvonne Yu
A moment of rest
I have a glass of whisky.
I stare at my koi.
A travel through memories
Out to meet my loved ones.
I do have a sentimental attachment to this.
Painting by Svetlana Valueva
When she sleeps beside
Me, nights are too short, I wish
Morning would not come.
I sleep in a cocoon made
Of quietness, tenderness, love.
If you see an employee behaving improperly, pull him aside. Let him know in no uncertain terms that the customers pay everyone's salary and that you can't afford to lose them.
Keep a diary handy and whenever you have a new idea, write it down and resolve to start using it.
My life is in the hands of any fool who makes me lose my temper
Obviously, I'm not a relationship expert. But there's something about my divorce being finalized this week that gives me perspective of things I wish I would have done different… After losing a woman that I loved, and a marriage of almost 16 years, here's the advice I wish I would have had
1. Never stop courting. Never stop dating. NEVER EVER take that woman for granted. When you asked her to marry you, you promised to be that man that would OWN HER HEART and to fiercely protect it. This is the most important and sacred treasure you will ever be entrusted with. SHE CHOSE YOU. Never forget that, and NEVER GET LAZY in your love.
2. Protect your own heart. Just as you committed to being the protector of her heart, you must guard your own with the same vigilance. Love yourself fully, love the world openly, but there…

The wonderful thing about failure is that it's entirely up to us to decide how to look at it.

Before you have your divorce lawyers file the divorce papers on your behalf, you should ask them what you should do about your joint accounts during your divorce. After you file for divorce in Paterson, the court may issue a temporary restraining order that prevents either spouse from making certain financial changes. Depending on your specific situation, your lawyer may recommend that before the petition is filed, you should withdraw funds that you will need for your living expenses while your divorce is pending.
Watch this video or consult your divorce attorney for more tips on managing your finances. The attorney in this video explains that if you do make withdrawals or deposits during divorce, you should keep accurate records for these transactions.

Toadette is getting into position sometimes. It feels...awkward. Hard to walk because there's all this bulky weight down low in the pelvis.
I'm having blood pressure issues again. Tuesday it was 140/96 at the doc's office. They sent me to the hospital for observation, where it dropped to 120/80 and stayed there for hours. All blood and pee tests came back "perfect," so there's no medical-y problem. I haven't had a chance to talk to the doc about it yet, but possible reasons she threw out (before I went to the hosp) were the Heparin and the extreme pain I experience from walking. I'm very concerned, as high blood pressure means no chance of a VBAC. Random internet people say a good Chiropractor can help with the pain, but finding a good one and getting an appointment and finding child care all sounds like a TON of work I don't have energy for. But if it's that vs. c-section, then maybe I need to find a way.
Also on Tuesday, I woke up not feeling sick (cold/flu) for the first time in 6 weeks. HOORAY! Since I'm not coughing any more, Pain #2 is starting heal!! Now I'm just left with regular Pain #1. See chiro mention above.
We called a maid service to deep clean the house last week. 2 women took 4 hours to do it. I'm really embarrassed at the state the house was in, but it's CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN now! Well, we need to do a quick sweep/vac/mop/dust, but the true filth is gone. The house hasn't been this clean since June!
I was feeling depressed today, so I ran to REI. Gear-whoring always makes me feel better! I picked up 3 pair of kids trail pants (more than 50% off), 2 for Toadette and 1 for The Dude when he grows out of his current pair. I heart trail pants, they're so sturdy and they dry quickly! Very important when you have little people who are attracted to puddles! They also had the kids camp chairs on clearance, only $11 down from $25. I picked up one for Toadette. It cost the same as the crappy ones from gas stations, but the quality is on a whole different level. Can you tell I'm ready to get outside and camp/hike again?
In other outdoor news, I learned that Big Agnes has come out with a 4-man tent that only weighs 5 lbs 10 oz! clock won't backpack until everybody is out of diapers (another 3 years!), so no need to buy it now. The point is gear companies are finally understanding that families like to backpack, and they are making gear accordingly. My future is filled with nothing but good times!!
Yesterday I scheduled a final payment for our small mortgage. Readers may (not) remember that I put no money down on my house and got an 80/20 mortgage in order to avoid PMI. I'm really stoked, this frees up a chunk o' change in the budget (which will now go towards paying off clock's student loans) and we should have approximately 30-40% equity in the house. This, in turn, means when we go to buy a new house, we shouldn't have to cough up any cash at closing. Good times!
The bad housing news is they have started building new houses again in my area. This is bad, because it means our house will have to compete with new construction. No good!
I read the first Sword of Truth book last week, and many HuSiites have warned me to not read any further in the series. First, I can't because they only have books 1 and 11 on eBook. Mostly, I'm very upset to hear it because I really REALLY liked the book and the characters. I haven't found many books where the author really goes there when it comes to bad stuff. Terry Goodkind didn't imply things, he flat out told you. Made for a good read.
Wait, wait, wait. Hurry up and wait. I WANT THIS BABY OUT NOW!

Net-neutrality, privacy and security continue to be at odds as the house looks to update how access is granted to the government from our personal electronic communications. The recent Petraeus scandal rightly brings up the discussion around privacy of our electronic content just in time for a senate update of privacy legislation.
Sen. Patrick Leahy's refresh of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act – originally written in 1986 has some interesting implications which ought to be highlighted. Chiefly, frictionless and warrantless search and seizure of your private email communications/files may just be around the corner with should this get passed.
Here are the key changes with this legislation which risks privacy via C|Net:
- Grants warrantless access to Americans' electronic correspondence to over 22 federal agencies. Only a subpoena is required, not a search warrant signed by a judge based on probable cause.
- Permits state and local law enforcement to warrantlessly access Americans' correspondence stored on systems not offered "to the public," including university networks.
- Authorizes any law enforcement agency to access accounts without a warrant — or subsequent court review — if they claim "emergency" situations exist.
- Says providers "shall notify" law enforcement in advance of any plans to tell their customers that they've been the target of a warrant, order, or subpoena.
- Delays notification of customers whose accounts have been accessed from 3 days to "10 business days." This notification can be postponed by up to 360 days.

Whilst the Aylesbury Arm has been closed during the current water shortage we have been protected in our winter mooring at the basin because the River Thame joins the canal at lock 15. This is a short-lived partnership as excess water leaves the canal through a sluice in the basin.
Yesterday two men spent the day 'working' on the sluice. I have no idea what they hoped to accomplish: what they did manage to do was to lose the sluice key and then the gearbox. When they knocked off at 5.15pm the water level in the basin started to fall. a couple of hours later a new team of workmen (with life jackets) arrived to solve the problem.
At 2am I woke to find we had developed a list to starboard. A quick investigation established that we were now sitting on the bottom of the canal. When I eventually rose for the day the water level was about a foot below the sluice top and it was raining.
Around lunchtime we became a boat again but by suppertime we had resumed the attitude of a crooked house.
The excess water should flow over the sluice in order to maintain the level of the canal.
It is still flowing through the sluice gate which does not auger well for our intended passage up the arm to Marsworth planned for Friday.

From the Ashes: My Story of Being MĂ©tis, Homeless, and Finding My Way
In this extraordinary and inspiring debut memoir, Jesse Thistle, once a high school dropout and now a rising Indigenous scholar, chronicles his life on the streets and how he overcame trauma and addiction to discover the truth about who he is.
If I can just make it to the next minute... then I might have a chance to live; I might have a chance to be something more than just a struggling crackhead.
From the Ashes is a remarkable memoir about hope and resilience, and a revelatory look into the life of a Métis-Cree man who refused to give up.
Abandoned by his parents as a toddler, Jesse Thistle briefly found himself in the foster-care system with his two brothers, cut off from all they had known. Eventually the children landed in the home of their paternal grandparents, but their tough-love attitudes meant conflicts became commonplace. And the ghost of Jesse's drug-addicted father haunted the halls of the house and the memories of every family member. Struggling, Jesse succumbed to a self-destructive cycle of drug and alcohol addiction and petty crime, spending more than a decade on and off the streets, often homeless. One day, he finally realized he would die unless he turned his life around.
In this heartwarming and heartbreaking memoir, Jesse Thistle writes honestly and fearlessly about his painful experiences with abuse, uncovering the truth about his parents, and how he found his way back into the circle of his Indigenous culture and family through education.
An eloquent exploration of what it means to live in a world surrounded by prejudice and racism and to be cast adrift, From the Ashes is, in the end, about how love and support can help one find happiness despite the odds.
"From the Ashes hits you like a punch in the gut. It's an unflinching, heartrending and beautifully written story of survival against seemingly impossible odds. But it's also a book that should make you furious. Thistle paints a vivid portrait of a country seemingly incapable of doing right by Indigenous youth or by those struggling with homelessness, addiction and intergenerational trauma. That he survived to tell this story is truly a miracle. Still, one question haunts me after finishing this powerful and devastating book: How do we ensure that the next generation isn't forced to navigate a broken system that takes their lives for granted and fails them at every turn? My greatest hope, then, is that From the Ashes will be the wakeup call Canada needs." — IAN MOSBY, historian and author of Food Will Win the War

Long time no see!
This post is all about new year and new resolutions. (bet you've not seen any of those blog posts about yet... ok so zero for originality but I'm writing a post so leave me to it!) As you may or may not know from previous posts (here) I'm not a fan of New Year resolutions. They are destined to fail, way too much pressure and usually completely unrealistic.
Last year I started my resolutions in February, this year I'm going to attempt to start my resolutions on the first Monday of the new year (yes tomorrow, short notice!).
My resolutions are all about looking after me this year.
I need to start looking after myself better, so getting back to my skincare routine, eating better, drinking water (this was on my last years resolutions and I am loads better at this so I want it to continue - water is now my drink of choice with a meal #adult)
To have less days with chipped nail varnish, maybe top up the chipped parts, or maybe not leave it a week or more until I take the chipped stuff off.
Keep on top of plucking my eyebrows, I've had some horrific scenes on my face over the last few months. Oh and
I think as a summary, just having more me time is essential. Give myself more time to focus on me and making myself happy, not everything has to be 100 MPH at all times.
My next lot of resolutions might be easier to accomplish once all the little stresses of my life have been removed. Spend more time (a lot more) on my blog, writing posts, reading posts, commenting on posts. I will
Instagram - @racheleiwood
Twitter - @ReiwWood
Follow me if you don't already, it might inspire me to use them more!
I aim to find my first job to includes writing, and if that fails then I will go and study for a masters.
First things first, I need to get up of my bum and stop needing a full day to recover from my nights out!
Let me know your resolutions or if I've given you any ideas for your own

Sale on canvas prints! Use code ABCXYZ at checkout for a special discount!
Displaying: 1 - 1 of 1
May 22nd, 2012
Just getting settled down from the Stockley Gardens show this past weekend. We had a good day on Saturday - the weather was a perfect 70 degrees and sunny. We had a spot under a big tree and for the first time, had canvas work on display, QR codes available, a new banner and a brand new credit card reader. Sunday was another story. It started out misty and the crowd was sparse. Then came the rain and the show was called early. Still, we got to talk to old friends both days, and made some new ones as well. Looking forward to our next show at the Seawall Arts Festival in Portsmouth in August.

It wasn't but maybe four or five years ago that you could get a three-bedroom, one bath house in Midway Hollow for around $150,000ish. And while that's not the case anymore, there are still homes to be had in the under $300,000 price range that place you in the hot neighborhood.
And for those that are unfamiliar, Midway Hollow has become hot for several reasons — you still have great tree-lined streets in a walkable, friendly neighborhood, with a robust crime watch group and an extended neighborhood patrol, three great Dallas ISD elementary schools serve the neighborhood, and it's close to so much, including plenty of grocery options, dining, and recreation.

2 years ago I had circulated the attached note at a time when if you were investing it was like looking into the barrel of a loaded gun or catching a falling knife! Well a lot has changed since then and we are now looking upwards at a Sensex of 21000!
Uncertainty has finally given way to exuberance. After 32 months the Sensex crossed the 21,000 mark once again. India's growth story has always remained strong. But, for the markets to move up, FIIs with their large pockets have to believe it. And that they did. FIIs came back with a bang. Their investments crossed US$ 18 bn by the end of September 2010. This surpassed the 2007 level, at the height of the bull-run.
While the anchors of all business channels and their 'experts' will be beaming and business news paper headlines will be cheering, I advise caution at these levels. You have to be cautious because you always have to worry about the pitfalls which may come in the future. At the end of the day, you have to balance your risk and return
At the same time, you always have to be confident about future. It is very rare to see a pessimistic man making money in the market. It is always the optimism which prevails.
• DO NOT IGNORE this market thinking it is too high PARTICIPATE through SYSTEMATIC INVESTING.
• Have a close look at your ASSET ALLOCATION ie how much money of your total wealth is in equities?
• TONE DOWN your expectation of return from the Equity Markets. Over a longer term (5 to 10 years) will deliver 15% plus returns.
• BELIEVE in the Growth Story of our country and you will prosper.

The establishment of
the E.N.C. soon after the construction of the ship building yard firmly
secured Visakhapatnam's place in the annals of the Indian Navy. Some of
the defence related establishments are N.S.T.L. (Naval Science and
Technology Laboratories), which is responsible for the development and
testing of warship technology, equipment and weapons and Bharat Dynamics
Ltd is coming up for manufacturing heavy and light weight torpedoes.
The navy also has a naval dockyard [started in 1949] in the city where
recently India's first Nuclear Submarine was launched. The navy has
plans to set up submarine base in the city at the alternate ENC base in
Rambilli near Visakhapatnam.
The Navy is also constructing a second base as the current base is overpopulated and not sufficient to meet the needs of the E.N.C. Despite its importance, the Naval establishment has become a hindrance for the development of Visakhapatnam. The harbour is not open to the general public for reasons of security, while in Mumbai and Kochi, the entire port along with Naval docks are opened for boating and tourism.
Visakhapatnam is surrounded on three sides by the overlapping mountain ranges, and the southeastern city is safeguarded by the Bay of Bengal. Visakhapatnam is far away from any international border, both land and sea, making it the choice for strategic placement of the headquarters of the eastern naval command.

How often do you visit a doctor? Some people are accustomed to visit a doctor regularly to make sure their health is in order. Others however book an appointment only when there is an emergency. Whatever happens in your life, whether you need a regular checkup or an urgent medical help, doctors at a Moorooka medical centre are at your full service, 24 days a week, day and night.
Why a Moorooka Medical Centre?
We know, that people preferences differ. Some believe, that private clinics are the most reliable ones. Others believe, that public medical service is the thing that is absolutely needed. So, why should you select a doctor Moorooka medical centre has? There are several reasons why addressing your health needs to such a clinic is the best option:
They put patients in the centre of our activities. They understand, that patients need individual care and attention. That's why doctors are trained to provide not only the most professional, but the friendliest service ever. You know, that a friendly talk means sometimes more than the most expensive medicine.
Doctors are constantly trained constantly to be at the edge of technical advancements and the most recent practices. They value experience and understand the importance of innovation, as well.

Clinics provide free parking for all patients. The centre's parking lots are designed in a way to make the access in wheelchairs easy and effortless.
Have you ever had an experience, when you are calling a doctor with an emergency, and asked to come in a week? The medical centre understands how useless such appointments are, that's why they have an available doctor on the day when a request has been made. Some cases don't allow long waiting time. Visit us at SmartClinics
You can contact a Moorooka medical centre on its website or Facebook page, or call them directly. If you have a general query, please consider filling in the form on their website. They will reply your inquiry as soon and as detailed as possible.

I am Richard Leff, and I'm running for re-election to the Kennett Township Board of Supervisors in November 2019. When I ran for the Board in 2013, my platform emphasized four areas: accelerating open space conservation, improving public safety, implementing rigorous financial transparency, and fostering economic development. Since then, major accomplishments of the Board that I have championed have included:
- Open Space: The Township has funded the conservation of almost 380 acres of preserves and parks, including the popular Barkingfield Park, all with public access. In addition, we have planned and funded the development of the award-winning Kennett Greenway, a multi-use circuit trail designed to connect all the Township's preserves and parks.
- Safety: The Township has expanded our Police Department from limited to full-time coverage, and made it one of the first in Chester County to have body cameras. In addition, we have invested in many road safety measures, such as 4-way stop signs at dangerous intersections.
- Financial Information Sharing: The Township has reorganized our books to conform to the recommendations of our auditor, properly reflecting our true financial condition, and creating special dedicated funds for projected long-term needs. In addition, the township checkbook was put on-line, so that everyone can see it and provide helpful comments.
- Economic Development: The Township completed a Joint Economic Study with Kennett Borough and, based on its recommendations, hired a joint Economic Development Manager who is now focusing on several shared "Economic Opportunity Zones" that are ripe for development. In addition, we are working to streamline our zoning codes and other regulations to better support new and expanding businesses, and to encourage development that leverages existing roads, utilities, etc., saving the costs of providing and maintaining new ones.
Going forward, I'll continue working for improvements in all these areas, as well as pushing for greater energy efficiency and the expanded use of renewable energy, and for a variety of affordably priced housing. Another principle I will continue to strongly support is constructively working with surrounding municipalities to our mutual benefit in such areas as transportation planning, fire company, ambulance service and policing.
Some examples of Kennett Township's accomplishments during my first term:
Barkingfield Park came about due to the efforts of many people and was made possible by working with those interested in preserving Kennett Township's open space, making it accessible while being fiscally responsible and allowing development where it makes sense. In Kennett Township, we have allow "transfer of development rights" which for Barkingfield lowered the cost to acquire the 45 acres by about half! The two fenced in areas for dogs to run without leashes are shown here. For more information visit: https://www.kennett.pa.us/273/Barkingfield-Park
The benefits of preserved of open space extend beyond its borders: "Open space limits development which keeps the cost of community services (roads, schools, emergency services, etc.) down for everyone. Residential properties on a national average cost municipalities between $1.15-1.50 for every $1 of taxes received and so result in a net loss to municipalities. Open space and farm land costs on average between 30-50¢ for every $1 of taxes received." TLCSCC Autumn 2016 newsletter.
The Kennett Township Police Department has steadily grown, at residents' requests, from the 2 member force to a full-time department in 2018. They are professional, able every day to respond to calls quickly and are one of the first in Chester County to have body cameras. I am proud to be a support of our Police Department, including permitting the necessary funding. To learn more visit: https://chester.crimewatchpa.com/kennetttownshippd/38495
An Emergency Services Commission was started in 2018 with 5 surrounding municipalities to oversee 3 Fire Companies and Ambulance (EMS) services. More information can be found at: https://kennett.pa.us/335/Emergency-Services-Commission
Kennett Township's checkbook has been online since 2012, when I joined Scudder Stevens on the Board of Supervisors, so that everyone can see where our township's money is going. The latest "Check Registers" (under finance and billing) can be found at: https://www.kennett.pa.us/Archive.aspx?AMID=37
The Fussell House, also known as The Pines, was preserved due to Kennett Township purchasing it from a local landowner. An article in the Chester County Press can be found at: Preservation Of The Pines: Kennett Township Brings New Life To Historic Home. The article states: "... reportedly more than 2,000 runaway slaves were helped on their journey to freedom by Dr. Fussell and his wife, Lydia. The house is now recognized as one of more than three dozen Underground Railroad sites in southern Chester County, and is part of the largest concentration of URR sites in the United States."
In March 2019, Kennett Township became recognized as an official Audubon Bird Town for its bird-friendly actions and policies, such as open-space preservation and community-based Land Stewardship Program. See this article for more detail: kennett-township-gets-audubon-bird-town-distinction. This will allow Kennett Township and local land conservation agencies to partner to provide education and outreach to land owners in Kennett Township to learn how they can become bird-friendly and the many additional benefits that ensue.

While many aspiring artists are motivated by the allure of fame and fortune, every so often the inspiration derives from a humanitarian ambition, and the need to help others. That's exactly the case for 24-year-old singer-songwriter Keshia Angeline, professionally known as just Angeline, who started singing in her native Regina, Saskatchewan almost 8 years ago.
Over the past few years, her cover songs uploaded to YouTube, and other unofficial releases, have garnered the attention of other artists and producers, including those of whose music she has covered. She is currently preparing for the release of her catchy new LoudBeatss produced single, "Visions or Illusions," which speaks volumes to her overall ideals.
Having released her hit single Mess With Me, 2017 is certainly shaping up to become a year where Angeline expands on her notoriety and makes a serious run at growing her audience. She understands clearly that her ability to make a difference – a serious humanitarian contribution to the world – depends largely on how hard she works and how well her music is perceived. But her motivation is endless and she's got her target locked on the "Crown."
Angeline will continue to develop her craft and ultimately prepare for the release of EP entitled "Crown".

High-Speed Plasma Imaging: A Lightning Bolt
G. A. Wurden and D. O. Whiteson
Los Alamos National Laboratory
Los Alamos, New Mexico, 87545 USA
Abstract--Using a gated, intensified, digital Kodak Ektapro camera system, we captured a lightning bolt at 1000 frames per second, with 100 microsecond exposure time on each consecutive frame. As a thunder storm approached while darkness descended (7:50pm) on July 21, 1994, we photographed lightning bolts with an f22, 105 mm lens, and 100% gain on the intensified camera. This 15-frame sequence shows a cloud to ground stroke, at a distance of about 1.5 km, which has a series of stepped leaders propagating downwards, followed by the upward-propagating main return stroke.
Modern high-speed imaging of plasmas to study plasma/pellet interactions#[1], plasma/wall interactions, coherent structures rotating in the plasma, and disruptions in tokamaks has proven to be a useful tool. In this paper we apply this technology to study an outdoor plasma: a lightning bolt.
We employ a commercially available Kodak Ektapro EM1012 processor, coupled to a Kodak model VSG intensified imager, with modest spatial resolution (239x192 pixels), and 400 Megabytes (1600 frames) of digital storage. The entire system is controlled over a fiber-optic GPIB-link from a 486-PC computer running National Instruments LabView software under Windows NT, using a virtual instrument software driver that we developed. The Kodak chip uses 12 parallel A/D readouts in order to process each image at a full frame rate of 1000 frames/second. The two-stage gated intensifier is also remotely-controlled over the GPIB link, and can be gated down to 1 microsecond exposure times, one or more times per frame. Presently, this digital system (with different optics) is now installed and operating at the MIT Alcator C-Mod tokamak. For many purposes film is a superior data recorder, but although the resolution of film is excellent, it is very inconvenient to use remotely. It also can not be "post-triggered". By comparison to the Kodak system, Imacon streak cameras (from Hadland Photonics) can take a sequence of very fast (less than 1 microsecond exposure) images, but they are typically limited to only 8-32 discrete frames, and must be outfitted with special high resolution CCDs.
In order to observe lightning bolts(see footnote 1), the whole system was run on an uninterruptable power supply, with a single ground point. Manual triggering was employed, since the Kodak system can be run in a continuous acquisition mode, storing up to 1600 pretrrigger frames. When a bright flash was seen in the general field of view, a stop command was given. Then the pretrigger frames could be played back at any desired rate (from 1 to 60 frames/second) and saved digitally or recorded to video tape as desired.
Fig. 1. Time-resolved sequence of a lightning bolt.
We are not experts on lightning#[2], and have only seen a few time-resolved lightning bolt photographs. Nevertheless, a few features stand out. The first thing to notice in frames 1-9 (before the bolt connects to the ground), is that the downward-propagating leader is always forked. At each point in time, one fork or the other will "survive", and be selected as the stroke meanders downward. There is an interesting propagating remnant in frames 6, 7, and 8, which looks like a "blob" of plasma. Multiple filaments in frames 9, 10, and 11 are observed to be helically intertwined, and the current channels are probably self-attracting. The return stroke in frame 12 was too bright, and caused a camera artifact near the top of that image. We did not count the seconds from the flash to the thunder, but the range to the bolt can be estimated by noting that the object at the bottom of the flash in frame 12 is a high-voltage electric transmission tower on the west side of the White Rock canyon, overlooking the Rio Grande river, and it is silhouetted in the flash. The tower is 50 meters tall, and the bolt was at least 1.5 km away. The field of view of the image is therefore approximately 800 meters vertically, and the leader is propagating downwards at a speed of 1x105 m/sec or greater. The current faded away slowly in frames 13-18, until it was invisible, without changes in position. This bolt did not exhibit later strokes, as is often the case. From analysis of these pictures, one can conclude that this lightning bolt had a "typical propagation speed" for its downward propagating "a -stepped leader"#[3]. The image is also available as an MPEG movie file at on the World Wide Web at http://wsx.lanl.gov/gwurden.htm. This work was supported by US DOE contract W-7405-ENG-36.

Fake Penfolds Bin 707 wines were uncovered in the raids in Hebei province by police (photo source: WeChat)
The raids were carried out by police acting on a tip off from an authorised distributor for Penfolds, the flagship brand from Australia's wine giant Treasury Wine Estates, according to local media reports.
According to the police, the fake wines are produced in Shangqiu, a city in Henan, and sold to 17 different provinces across China including Henan, Fujian, Guangzhou, Shandong, Guangxi and Hubei via WeChat, the country's most popular messaging and social media app.
The raids uncovered over RMB 7 million (US$1 million) worth of fake Penfolds and fake Changyu wines worth more than RMB 6 million (US$865,000).
Other branded fake wines were also found in the raids but not specified. The total value of wines involved in this case is reported to exceed RMB 100 million (US$14.4 million) based on a preliminary assessment, according to the police.
Penfolds is among China's most well-known imported wine brands, making it one of the most faked wines within China. Changyu, being China's oldest winery, leads China's domestic wine sales.
The investigation is still ongoing.
For the sake of correctness, it should be pointed out that Shangqiu is in Henan. Although the provinces share a border (along South Hebei), that's very different because there is a tradition for production of counterfeit wine in Hebei, in the Northern part of the province, geographically very distinct from South Hebei and Henan. This suggests production of counterfeit wine in Henan is on the rise.

If I had to describe my New Year's resolutions for this year in one word, it would be "constructive." I want the things that I do to serve a useful purpose. That's not to say that I've been useless in previous years, it's just that I haven't been as effective as I'd like to be (welcome to the club, right?). This year, I want that to change. I desire to be more productive in the things that matter. I want to love more, give more, save more, lose more, and just plain accomplish more. Oh, and did I mention that I want to do it all with less? "More for less"––sounds like a TJ Maxx ad. Here's what I mean:
Less impatience, more restraint
Goal: Too subjective to measure so get off my back already! (Sorry, I guess I got my work cut out for me.)
Less calories taken in, more pounds taken off
Goal: Me minus 20 lbs. (or 5 slices of pizza per week, same thing)
Less spending, more saving
Goal: Cut my specialty coffee / dining out expense in half (my belt size too)
Less debt, more freedom
Goal: A slave to lender no longer (except for mortgage)
Less TV, more time (for God, family, and my dream)
Goal: Read through entire Bible, do not neglect my family, post blog three times weekly, and write a book to have ready for publication
Less of me, more of Him
Goal: Take up my cross daily. (And two aspirin 'cause I'm already getting overwhelmed.)
WOW! Sounds like less leisure, more exhaustion. What about you? Are your goals for 2009 big or small . . . audacious or cautious . . . lofty or puny . . . ambitious or attainable . . . more or less?
Here' s some inspiration from Pastor Steven Furtick:
I'm sorry to say that your dreams are too small too. You serve the God of inexhaustible, all sufficient, overflowing resource. Whatever you might imagine God wants to do through your life in your most faith-filled, bold, reckless moments, multiply it by 10. Take it to the 100th power. Double it again. Now you're starting to uncover a fraction of the blueprint God has already drawn up.
Sometimes, under the guise of getting wiser, growing deeper, or waiting on God, we let our audacity atrophy and set the stuff that made us special on the shelf. That must really insult God. After we've already seen Him part seas, kill giants, and multiply fish and loaves, we should be more inclined to push our chips to the center of the table, not less!
It turns out God isn't intimidated by my big requests. He is insulted by my puny ones.

Here is the 2nd part to Michael Hodge's article in the Roland Worship Connection e-letter. If you missed part 1 of Michael's article, you can find it here.
This is part two of a two-part article by Michael Hodge profiling his pedal boards and how he uses them throughout the varied facets of his ministry.
RT-20 Rotary Ensemble (virtual Leslie speaker)
I use this pedal A LOT. I had a Leslie at one time because it sounds amazing on guitar, and this one is even more awesome…and slightly easier to carry. It also does a Roto Vibe thing quite well. I love the slow setting with an overdriven sound. It's very convincing. I also use the fast setting for guitar lines that I want to really stick out. There is an incredible energy when you are changing speeds from slow to fast and back. You can adjust how long it takes to spin-up to full speed. This is also the coolest looking pedal in the dark. The LED display looks awesome. It also has distortion built in if you need it. This is one of my favorite BOSS pedals, hands down.
DD-20 Giga Delay
I could easily write an entire article on this pedal. If you play modern worship music, you know all about delays. I rely a lot on delay for swells, ambient pads, Ebow lines and choppy staccato notes. Of course, it's essential for all the "Edge-U2" stuff that is so fun to play! I have one of these on every pedal board I own! One cool thing is that the direct signal doesn't lose tone. This pedal sounds great and is really versatile.
On the DD-20, there are four programmable settings with one "extra" default setting that you can change as well. I like to use the "Smooth" patch as the default setting, which is a delay with reverb. I have progressive amounts of delay on presets one through four – the 4th preset being the longest. You can set the display to show milliseconds or BPM. I've started using BPM live since we have the tempo written on our charts, so I know if my "tapping" is in the pocket. I do save certain tempos for quick song changes during a service. We do a lot of segues with little time to tap out the new tempos. Some other favorites are the "modulate delay," which is like a "Memory Man" and is wonderful for swells. The "pan delay" I use a lot in the studio. For me, the DD-20 is a must have these days.
FS-5U Foot Switch
I use this as a tap pedal to set delays on the DD-20. You can use a Y-cable out to set multiple delay pedals at the same time.
RV-5 Digital Reverb
This is a great stereo reverb pedal. There is a spring reverb setting, as well as a plate and hall. I tend to go for the plate or modulate setting. I use it whenever I play slide or Ebow along with some delay. I also use it with no delay for the R&B "chicken pickin" stuff to give a little warmth and "spank." Since I play through two amps I have the RT-20, DD-20 and the RV-5 all in stereo mode.
Signal path for Michael's BOSS pedals
Other BOSS pedals I use:
In the studio I use the OD-20 for metal tones and for the octave effect. It is really nice. I use the looper pedals as well – both the RC-20XL which packs a huge punch for the size, as well as the big brother RC-50, which I am using to do the "Phil Keaggy" thing. I have a PS-5 on my studio board, which does Vibrato-bar simulations – very cool!
I also have a much-coveted VB-1 vintage vibrato which I found used at a local music store near by. It does something very unique and is analog, of course. This puts a special mojo on swells and is kind of similar to a tremolo.
Whatever you are doing in your music career and ministry, especially if you are a guitar player, BOSS pedals are your friends. They never complain and let you walk all over them! May you be filled with creativity and passion both in writing, playing and ministering to His beloved people!
Michael Hodge is a self-described "pedal geek" and is currently a guitarist, producer and worship band leader at Lakewood Church in Houston. Check out Michael's guitar tones on any Lakewood recording, such as Free to Worship. If you'd like to get in touch with Michael, email him at email@example.com.
If you could add one pedal to your arsenal what would it be?

One of the keys to client satisfaction is that you begin your client's amazing journey from your first touchpoint with them. A carefully-curated client intake process is a great place to start.

Speech Free From Religious Zealots
Religious zealots are trying to use the courts to intimidate and punish criticism in both the U.S. and France. A French court will decide whether the satirical paper "Charlie Hebdo" committed a crime by publishing cartoons of Mohammed. Meanwhile in our great land of freedom six Imams thrown off a U.S. Airways plane are suing passengers for reporting what they considered suspicious behavior to the authorities.
BTW, a group of moderate Muslims has offered to help with the defense of the passengers. The group's president, Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, says, "It's so important that America know there are Muslims who understand who the victims are in air travel, but I hope it doesn't get to that point because the backlash will be even greater when Americans see Islamists trying to punish innocent passengers reporting fears."
Truth and freedom of speech are more important than sensitivity and tolerance. When I was a kid we used to say "sticks and stone may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Today the threat of sticks, stones and worse is used to supress words and our culutral and political elites often are complicit in silencing dissenting views. In France, President Chirac offered the services of his own personal lawyer to the OPPONENTS of freedom. In America, we preemptively apologize whenever any group (except Christians and a few others) claims to be aggrieved by words.
Religion can hold individuals accountable for sins of thought, word & deed. That is God's business, not ours, and it applies to the next world. I figure the creator of heaven and earth doesn't need my help to silence a few ostensibly nasty words among his creations and probably has more important priorities. Here on earth, fallible humans should stick to holding each other accountable ONLY for deeds that affect other fallible humans. Lighten up about the words. If the bad things they say are not true, point out the error. If they are true, you need to change your own ways.
The search for truth REQUIRES we permit words and ideas we consider odious. That is the practical value of free speech. John Milton explained that more than 300 years ago. It is through their own words that fools reveal themselves. Sometimes you cannot identify the ass until you hear him bray. Other times we see that the banned speech makes a lot of sense. In either case, you cannot know until you hear it.
Words are serious, but they should be countered with other words. You have the option of accepting, arguing, ridiculing or ignoring. Taking people to court about the words they say is the sign of a fascist and a cowardly one at that . . . and don't even think about picking up the sticks & stones.
This is a great post Jack, This crosses all boundries. The recent Anthony Hardaway or Mel Gibson, or even Joe Biden comments are a fine example of the PC crowd running totally amuck. Whether we agree (condone) or don't agree with the statements that these high profile types make is irrelevant. They are allowed to say them. Calling for them to go to rehab for thought or word is akin to the Khmer Rouge camps of the 70's. I have been called worse things in front of my face and god and the people who gossip about me behind my back only know what is said, I am still here, alive and somewhat well.
I am at the point where I am finally offended by the people who claim offense at the spoken word. We have laws for libel/slander etc. to deal with unproven or unprovoked personal attacks. I have to wonder about the people who let the spoken word offend them. How droll and boring your life must be if you have to look and find offense at words. (A direct verbal assault on ones person is different I agree. ) But in the case of the Southwest Airlines who were sued because the rhyme of One for the money, two for the show-was offensive to a couple of minority women is ludicrous.
On the otherhand, the passengers should sue the imams for mental duress, they were acting funny/wierd. AS we know-or should have learned by now from any playground or social scenario, that actions speak louder than words. This principal holds true on both the positive and negative side of any issue. The imams were acting differently than any other passenger, thus calling attention to themselves and got just that, attention then expulsion.Posted by: scottp at March 22, 2007 12:00 AM
Jack, are these guys religious zealots because they are suing passengers? Or are we just a little sensitive because they are Muslims? Your post is interesting and Im not really in disagreement with you I just dont see what makes them religoius zealots.Posted by: j2t2 at March 22, 2007 12:15 AM
In France, President Chirac offered the services of his own personal lawyer to the OPPONENTS of freedom.
I didn't know that. Could you provide me a link?
Meanwhile, at least two french newpapers did exercise their freedom of speech by publishing the cartoons of controversy. Freedom of speech works.
But when you're free (and should continue to) to express whatever opinion, you're not free from possible legal consequences. That's why we have justice, laws and judges.
It's not because you're sued that you're guilty. It's up to justice to sort out charges. That's its business (and, alas, indeed, it's more and more a lucrative business). The fact that freedom of speech cases are raising doesn't mean the censor(s) wins more often.
Just they try more often.
fallible humans should stick to holding each other accountable ONLY for deeds that affect other fallible humans. Lighten up about the words. If the bad things they say are not true, point out the error. If they are true, you need to change your own ways.
If you sincerely subscribe to this, Jack, then down in "Nowruz" will you tell the Watchblog editor that you have no problem with Gleep the chimp referring "you Republicans" as "stupid?"
I agree that we need to lighten up on the words, and I don't like the idea of legal action being raised over what someone says. But remember that these are a few people filing a lawsuit, what we like to call a "nuisiance lawsuit."
But words matter and no matter how you slice it, even the most intelligent, broad minded person can be emotionally harmed by words. Personally, I think the problem only diminishes as you get older, and as more and more unpleasant words hit you and you start to realize, I survived the last barrage like this intact.
Posted by: Steve k at March 22, 2007 8:35 AM
The ones that need to lighten up here are the muslims. They don't have a very good standing in the world b/c of their islam-o-nazis ("pig") fundementalists that the (so called) "moderate" muslims can't get a control of, then they pull this stunt on the aircraft and can't take a cartoon joke?!! F@#% Them! Let's see them sue me over that!!
My goodness, you'd think we never had a 9/11 with the way these muslims are carrying on. The problem is "Multiculturalism" and "Politcal Correctness". Stop "coddling" these inane comments and actions from the muslims. Make them grow up, stand up and (for God sakes) stop all this friggin complaining until they can actually prove (to the world) that Islam can be trusted!!Posted by: rahdigly at March 22, 2007 9:05 AM
You saw my response to the Nowruz thing. I just ridiculed Gleep and let him bray. Words should be countered with words. I tend to be very "liberal" on these things and I do not mind putting people down, even if they do not understand what I am talking about. As far as I am concerned, I castigated him as much as necessary and used words.
The Watchblog policy is meant to prevent this blog from degenerating. It is the right of free association. Nobody is trying to put Gleep (or others) in jail or make them pay a fine.
Freedom of speech does not imply the necessity of others to listen, it just means that they cannot use the law or threat of violence to silence you.
I called them zealots because religion is the basis of their complaint and they are trying intimidate using the power of the state.
It was from a WSJ article yesterday by PHILIPPE VAL. It said it was translated from French. I do not know the original source.Posted by: Jack at March 22, 2007 9:45 AM
And here's why you must read "foreign" news sources to ascertain what the current U.S. "government" is doing…
Bolton blocks peace in Middle East
Where is this in the list of U.S. news sources???? You'd have to dig and dig for this…but it's openly reported on the BBC.Posted by: Rachel at March 22, 2007 10:02 AM
Live news: Charlie Hebdo is free of charge, decides the french court.
On the three cartoons, two were not targetting muslims as a whole but integrists (Mahomet saying kamikazes "Stop, we're short of virgins" and Mahomet saying "it's hard to be loved by idiots" under a "Mohamet integrists" title).
Their publications is, so, perfectly and without ambiguity legal in France, said the court.
The third one, Mahomet with a bomb in place of his turban, is, taken alone, of nature to offend muslims as a whole. But it should be taken in the Charlie Hebdo publication context, which was integrism and freedom of speech issue raised by violent reactions of muslim word after initial publication in Danish paper. The drawing as published in Charlie Hebdo could only be viewed as contributing to the debate on islam integrism which lead to such violence, wrote the court.
The limits of freedom of speech were not broken, these three cartoons contributing to the public debate of common good, the court concluded.Posted by: Philippe Houdoin at March 22, 2007 11:10 AM

So: You agree that the anti-choice crowd are 'zealots'. Of course both anti-choice and islamoterrorists use violence.Posted by: Dave1-20-2009 at March 22, 2007 11:55 AM
Congratulations. I hope we do as well in America.
Yes. Those that use violence and intimidation to supress speech are zealots.
I have seen both the pro-like and pro-choice (PC on both groups) do that.
Like most Americans, I think abortion is a bad thing that should be a woman's choice. To the extent the pro-life people try to talk women out of making a bad choice, they are merely exercising free speech.
Violence is uncommon and when it is committed, it is a crime.Posted by: Jack at March 22, 2007 12:26 PM
I'm just trying to clarify. You stated:
I called them zealots because religion is the basis of their complaint and they are trying (to) intimidate using the power of the state…Posted by: Jack at March 22, 2007 09:45 AMViolence was specifically not part of that observation. You said the "power of the state" to "intimidate" for "religion" based complaints. Is that not the definition of the Anti-choice crowd? Not the pro-choice. Do you not then define the so called pro-life crowd as religious zealots? Posted by: Dave1-20-2009 at March 22, 2007 1:21 PM

I like that, Jack. It belongs on a bumper sticker!Posted by: Steve K at March 22, 2007 1:40 PM
Good One!!!! Jack!!!!
I agree with Steve K. It would make a great bumper sticker! Of course I have "Minds are like Parachutes, They Only Work When Opened"not only on my car but in my heart. Which brings me to your point.
We have a tendency to use the the word zealot when we are thinking in terms of religion. This of course is not true. Even some of the bloggers here could be considered zealots under its actually definition.
Merriam-Webster On-line defines the words ZEAL and ZEALOT as:
: eagerness and ardent interest in pursuit of something
Function: adjective
: filled with or characterized by zeal : marked by fervent partisanship for a person, a cause, or an ideal;a fanatic.
Using this definition, anyone can be a zealot - and frankly they all frighten me. Anyone who is so very passionate that he\she would electively commit suicide for any cause is in my opinion a zealot. Also frankly anyone who would encourage this action is also a zealot.
I am however, equally, perhaps more frightened of those who would attempt to curb,regulate,or other wise control my rights, as the Patriot Act allows. This is perhaps because I perceive anyone attempting to knowingly, quietly, secretively, limiting my rights without a Constitutional amendment, or a legislative law to be a major treat.
I believe fervently(!!!!)in the adage "Your rights stop at the end of my nose, and mine stop at the end of yours."
As far as the cartoons go - they may have been in bad taste, but a drawing doesn't actually harm anyone, in and of itself. It is the Character of the individual that comes into question, and whether that person\s' intent was to do harm, enlighten, voice an opinion, teach, be funny,etc.
How the cartoonist\s involved intended these cartoons does not seem to questionable. It appeared to they were attempting to enlighten the world about their perception of Muslims.
As for the passengers in the Airplane - I know very little about this particular issue. I do have a neighbor who was egged, his car destroyed, and fired in January of this year. He is a US Nationalized citizen born in Turkey. He was brought here by his parents at the age of 3. His offense is that he 'looks like a terrorist according to his employer' - a 'Good Ole Red Neck Southern Boy'. Of course to this idiot (I hesitate to call him a persoon, yet alone a man)being a terrorist means having dark skin, wearing a turban while sporting a mustache. My friend happens to be Muslim, however, not only does he abhor what is happening in Iraq, he has joined the US Army, in hopes of being both a soldier and a translator between the US and Arabic people. He is trying work while awaiting his paper to be completed.
When anyone, political, religious, cultural, economical or personal takes on the fanaticism of a zealot, I become truly concerned. I don't care who she\he\ or is.Posted by: Linda H. at March 22, 2007 3:45 PM

I looked at that source, it reminded me of why I miss Bolton as the UN Ambassador.
"Israel was reacting in its own self-defence and if that meant the defeat of the enemy, that was perfectly legitimate under international law. John Bolton"
Right on Bolton! I wish there were more like him.Posted by: rahdigly at March 22, 2007 3:57 PM
Bravo, Jack! Breathtakingly Rovian, charging the other side with what your side has been doing all along. You have learned from the Master. And the way your headline didn't even describe the contents of the post. Brilliant! Clear Skies Initiative here we come. I mean, you are perfectly aware that your side supports the religious right which has for years attempted to push their religious agenda into schools using the courts. And I'm sure you are a great admirer of Rove, engineering attacks on Kerry's war service, on Murtha's loyalty, and John McCain's morality. Why else emulate him.
I so much more enjoy it when you don't invite snarkiness, but just address the issue straightforwardly. Then we can talk.Posted by: Mental Wimp at March 22, 2007 5:34 PM
Just what we need: more government to tell us what to do. I don't endorse hate-speech. Common sense gave us the limits on that, but when the government steps in, they will always go overboard. If this happens, then what's next? The Thought Police?Posted by: stubborn conservative at March 22, 2007 7:44 PM
What is alarming about these cases in Europe, especially in France, is that whatever the merits of any specific case, you do not see these cases being brought or applied on behalf of any religion except Islam.
Work which questions Christianity or calls attention to its failings is an absolute staple in the arts, intellectual work, and the media, and has been for hundreds of years. I don't decry that these things go on, but the double standard here is clear.
When was it illegal to attack Christianity in a place like France? During the Dark Ages.
Making a separate set of rules now to spare the tender sensibilites of Muslims is akin to rolling back the clock to a time before the Englightenment, which is fine by those who want to live in and enjoy the material benefits of freedoms of the modern world without embracing the intellectual freedoms which made the modern world possible in the first place.Posted by: Loyal Opposition at March 23, 2007 12:08 AM

In fact, that's quite new. In the past, most of the time such lawsuit in france was filed by jews communities or christian extremist groups.
Muslim communities, as the latest large religion in the block, join the lawsuit fillers club. It's more related to lawsuit business and communitarismPosted by: Philippe Houdoin at March 23, 2007 2:46 AM

Fueled by unflinching optimism and an authentic desire to help others, Emily Faith is a fresh new voice in Contemporary Christian Music. While her sound has accents of pop, blues and rock & roll, it is unquestionably rooted in faith and the country music of her upbringing.
Emily first took the stage when she was just five years-old, singing in a talent competition in her hometown of Kingfisher, Oklahoma. Performing "Jesus Loves Me," the only song she knew at the time, she captivated the judges, readily winning the contest. Not long after, she hit the Oklahoma and Texas Opry circuit, standing on stages that had been graced by many iconic country artists. The Opry circuit provided a solid training ground for the up and coming singer-songwriter, allowing her to gain performing experience, to connect with other artists and to learn more about the heritage of country music.
Emily is a prolific composer and has been writing songs since she was 8 years old. Her main influences are Lauren Daigle, Carrie Underwood, and Tori Kelly. In recent years, Emily has been involved in collaborative projects, working with esteemed songwriters such as Zac Maloy and Clint Lagerberg, who have written songs for Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban respectively.
Although relatively young, Emily has already built an impressive resume that includes a 50-city road trip with the Newsboys as part of their "God's Not Dead – Rivals" tour. Emily has also performed the national anthem for numerous events, including NASCAR races, professional bull riding events and several games with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Because of her intense focus on music and performing, Emily has not always engaged in the same activities as her peers such as slumber parties and football games. At times, she's felt the social sting of being different. This inspired her to launch her "Write Your Own Story" campaign, a heartfelt effort to encourage people to pursue their passions, become their authentic selves and to support others in doing the same. Emily is committed to sharing this message wherever she can and frequently goes into schools to talk with younger kids. "Helping people has always made me happy," she explains. Her song "Write Your Own Story," was commissioned by the American Heart Association for Go Red, a movement to raise awareness about heart health for women. Emily has also volunteered her time and talents to many other organizations such as the Make a Wish Foundation, Folds of Honor and Children's Miracle Network. Service to others is core to Emily's character, a product of her strong faith in God and love of family. Her most cherished work involves teaching music lessons to underprivileged children at the Granville School of Music in Oklahoma City.
Emily divides her time between her home in Kingfisher and Nashville, where she has a supportive professional network and is engaged in a variety of projects. When she's not recording or performing, Emily enjoys musical theater, dance and pageants. These activities speak to her performer's sensibilities and also allow her to spend time with other young people, something that the demands of her career can sometimes limit. Emily describes herself as a "naturally happy and positive person" and this is evident in her music. Her songs reflect struggles, disappointments but always bringing the listener back to a place of hope, of enduring optimism. Perhaps these lyrics best capture Emily's spirit, "Even if it's pouring out, raining down showers, just think about tomorrow's flowers."
