This family.
I cannot believe it's how big he's gotten. Maternity to fall sessions and with stops in between for this family. The regular reminder of fleeting babyhood is a perk of being a family and newborn photographer and photographing this family is always wonderful.
Their family photo session was in a Minneapolis park bursting with autumn color. I just love Minnesota.
Last Call for Fall Minis
While chatting about fall minis, it seems like an excellent time to mention November 18th will end the fall mini session season for 2017. Photographing existing clients once again and meeting new families has been dreamy, particularly with the long color season in Minnesota this year.
Now, I'm looking forward to cozy in-home lifestyle sessions and adventurous snowy photos this winter.

Governing in the dark: Ottawa's dangerous unscientific revolution
By C. Scott Findlay, the Toronto Star, 10 October 2012
Most Canadians understand that our well-being depends on science. But Canadian science is under assault. And scientists, like Peter Finch in the film Network, are mad as hell. In July, more than 2,000 of them staged a mock funeral for scientific evidence on Parliament Hill to protest the Harper government's dismantling of Canadian institutions that collect scientific evidence, the muzzling of government scientists, and the erosion of the role of scientific evidence in public debate and regulatory decisions. (…)
There are at least four reasons why all Canadians should repudiate Prime Minister Harper's systematic erosion of science capacity in some areas, and more generally, his repudiation of scientific evidence. (…)

The twice-yearly antiques fair held at the Holt Hotel in Steeple Aston returns this weekend.
Now in its fourth year, the two-day event features 40 traders from across the region and beyond in the spacious and recently refurbished conference rooms of the 13th century inn.
The fair was launched in May 2013 by Marcus and Franca Potts with the aim of offering dealers and collectors a fresh venue for buying and selling mid- to high-end antiques and collectables.
Held every March and November, the fair has filled a niche that has proved popular with both traders and buyers alike.
Marcus said: "So far, touch wood, attendance has risen with each successive fair."
The event has also become a focal point of traders calendars in particular the November event held just a month before Christmas.
Marcus added: "We also find that many of our dealers hold back special items for The Holt, knowing that we get discerning collectors through the doors who appreciate the better quality and diverse choice on offer."
Antiques at the Holt opens both days, this Saturday and Sunday, November 25 and 26 between 10am and 4.30pm. Entry is £2.

When Mohnish Pabrai immigrated to the U.S. from India in the 1980s, he probably never imagined that some 20 years later he would be sitting down to lunch with Warren Buffett.
Pabrai was introduced to Buffett nearly 25 years ago when he read Roger Lowenstein's book, Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist. The book led him to Buffett's letters to Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) shareholders which, Pabrai said in a recent interview with online research platform Sumzero, "radically changed my life for the good—for the better, which was wonderful." In 2007, Pabrai bid more than $650,000 to win the annual charity lunch with Buffett, which he described as, "exceptional on many fronts," including the clarity it offered on those things most important to Buffett.
Among the concepts Buffett values most, says Pabrai, is applying qualitative analysis when evaluating companies. "For example," Pabrai explained, "the quality of management, the durability of the moat, and those sorts of things. I've learned that if you get exceptional managers, and even if they don't have such exceptional businesses that they're running, they will produce some incredible results. Sometimes jockey bets—paying out for the right jockey—is a great way to go."
Buffett's investment strategy (as described in the book Buffettology, co-written by Mary Buffett) incorporates both qualitative and quantitative tests to identify fundamentally sound companies. The Buffett-based stock screening model I created for Validea is based on this methodology, and uses the same conservative, stringent criteria to choose stocks that this legendary investor uses to evaluate businesses:
Qualitative Factors
On the qualitative side, Buffett likes to invest in businesses that have:
Quantitative Tests as Evidence of Qualitative Strength
While strong management and durable competitive advantage are considered qualitative criteria that are therefore subjective in nature, Buffettology outlines a number of seemingly corresponding quantitative tests. These include the following:

Team England claim Race of Champions Nations Cup crown
Priaulx and Plato beat Vettel and Hulkenberg in thrilling finale
By William Esler at the Olympic Stadium
Last Updated: 21/11/15 7:23pm
Team England claimed the Race of Champions Nations Cup title after defeating Germany in the final at London's Olympic Stadium on Friday.
The team of touring car legends Andy Priaulx and Jason Plato saw off F1 stars Sebastian Vettel and Nico Hulkenberg to take the crown.
After a busy night of racing, a thrilling finale went all the way to a deciding third race after triple World Touring Car Champion Priaulx knocked out four-time F1 champion Vettel as the pair squared off in Radical SR3 RSXs. Hulkenberg then defeated Plato to level the scores setting up a tense finale.
Roared on by the home crowd, Priaulx won all seven of his races, beating Hulkenberg by 1.8 seconds in the decider - the first time a British nation has won the title.
"I had a great night. Tonight it all just hooked up. Germany have won it a few times so it's nice to have a turn - and nice for me to win a race for once! I've been to the ROC Nations Cup final three times so to do the job is great," said Priaulx.
"This competition is tough and it gets tougher every year so you have to be on your A-game here because every race is like a qualifying session. It's so easy to make mistakes but I'm really chuffed."
Priaulx and Plato had to work for their success, taking part in an additional knockout round against Brazil's Felipe Massa and Nelson Piquet Jr.
That set up a clash with Team Young Guns' Jolyon Palmer and Pascal Wehrlein, who defeated Team All Stars Romain Grosjean and Sir Chris Hoy, who was deputising for the injured Jorge Lorenzo in the other preliminary round.
Priaulx defeated Wehrlein in the first round before Palmer levelled the scores against Plato. The Guernsey racer then defeated 2014 GP2 champion Palmer by six tenths in the decider.
One of the closest races of the night came in Team England 2's clash with Team Scotland in the quarter-finals. Driving KTM X-Bows, David Coulthard and Jenson Button were separated by just 0.0051 seconds, as the 2009 F1 world champion emerged victorious. That sent out Scotland, with Susie Wolff having already been defeated by Alex Buncombe by three seconds, and set up an all-English semi-final.
In a rematch of their 2014 rivalry, when Red Bull team-mates Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo went head-to-head early. Vettel emerged victorious from that contest by half a second to gain revenge following his defeat in that intra-team fight last year. Hulkenberg defeating Mick Doohan in the second heat.
Germany then faced defending champions Team Nordic, who progressed to the semi-finals with victory over Team Americas.
Vettel edged Tom Kristensen by 0.0663 to give Germany an early lead, before Hulkenberg ensured his nation progressed to the final by beating Petter Solberg.
Team England 1 (nicknamed 'Team Touring Cars') and Team England 2 (nicknamed 'Team Somerset') contested the second semi-final. Priaulx defeated Buncombe, with Button levelling the scores in the second race against Plato. Priaulx then won the decider by nearly three seconds against Button to progress to the final.
The racing continues on Saturday at the Olympic Stadium, with attention turning to individual honours as the drivers compete to be crowned Champion of Champions and you can see it all live on Sky Sports F1 from 3pm.

My beautiful 2-bedroom apartment is on the bank of the river with a lovely garden. I have a quiet, light-filled, large bedroom (26 m2) facing the garden with river view for rent. The room has wooden floor, large windows and is furnished with a double bed, wardrobe, desk, chair, television, shelves, armchair, and wireless internet. Since I live in the apartment, we share the bathroom/WC but you have your own full kitchen and refrigerator. The apartment is located on the ground floor with direct access to the terrace and garden. Beyond the garden is a walking trail along the river and a yacht club. You can swim in the river in summer. I can loan you a bike to get around. Old town is 15 minutes on foot. There is a bus stop 2-minute walk from my house where 6 lines of buses can take you to the town center and main train station in 10-15 minutes.

I was wakened this morning by Todd's truck when he went down to open the gates. I had said that I would do it, but he must have woke up and decided to go take care of it. It is very cold this morning, the outside temp monitor said it was 36 degrees, but our water is frozen up! I went outside later and saw a lot of frost on the windows of the trucks. I feel sorry for the Boy Scouts, having to sleep in tents!
About nine o'clock, Todd came over to see if I was ready to go and I told him as soon as I took the puppies out, I would be ready. While I was on my way back he told me that I had a water leak at the water filter. We discovered that one side of the Y-valve had split and actually came apart when we tried to tighten it. When it broke, most of the copper of the splitter was left in the threads of the pressure regulator, so to keep the water running, I took the regulator off and hooked the hose up direct. IT WORKED!!!
We went out and hosted the Boy Scouts' project of erecting some trail signs. They were typical kids, about one third of them wanted to work and asked to do all the jobs; another third would do what was asked but didn't volunteer and the final group just didn't want to do anything.
I gave the boys a little more work to do in addition to the signs. While separating two of the sign poles, I cut my hand near my right thumb. I bleed very well due to the aspirin I take, so it looked pretty bad with blood all over my hand. The young man took care of me like a champ, although he got a lot of advice from Todd, who was an EMT and an instructor for many years.
Everything got done and the new signs look really nice. Good job Scouts!
We came on back home and later in the afternoon Todd and Ron took the scouts on a tour of the refuge which they enjoyed. When Todd came back, we went up to the shop at the fire hall and fixed the damaged regulator, so we're pretty much back in business for now. I'll have to replace the splitter, but thats not too expensive. It could have been worse!
We sat outside again this evening. This is one of the things that make volunteering so enjoyable. Friends sitting around in the evening and telling about their travels and comparing notes on different locations. Nice...!
So long.

Hanging out in style
One of the rarest and most desirable vintage trailers out there, the Holiday House features amazing mid-century modern exterior styling. A new mid mod styled interior created a great hangout.
Shapes and finishes
A custom table with a serious nod to an iconic shape; Ferrari leather upholstery; Zebrawood cabinet veneers; seagrass wall covering; classic linoleum flooring (in orange!); and a fantastic client that let us do our thing. Three trailers so far and counting, re-imagined and crafted for this collector client.
Classic details, great history
There's no doubt that the Holiday House is a perfect reflection of the jet age in which it was originally designed and built. It's history is a great story that includes humanitarian ideals, fruit and fire (google it if you haven't heard it yet) that all contributed to this being one of the rarest trailers from the period. There are maybe 20 still around. We've been lucky enough to own two of them.
Peeling back the layers
We don't often feature "before" photos because really, who wants to see how the sausage is made. In this case though, the contrast between the starting and ending points emphasizes the length of the journey that a rare, beautifully designed vintage trailer deserves.

Sales Order Accounting For Packign Slip, Client Invoices, Commission & Discounts
An exceptional education is, of course, the very first order of company for aspiring accountants. Our degree summaries provide an overview of admissions specifications, earning prospective and hiring prospects made achievable by every single accounting credential.
Retirement obligations associated with leases are reported in accordance with IAS 37.

Accountants have to guarantee that all the monetary records of the company are in order. They are responsible for producing normal monetary reports and documents and supply help in all aspects of the enterprise such as filing bank accounts of the company, tackling a payment method to client and a salary method for personnel. So, accountants quite a lot have a say in the running of all aspects of the organization.

When I was trying to find suitable venues (and bumps!) for the Mums2B shoot last year, the very lovely Lucy Davis from Windrush Fitness kindly stepped in to help with the fitness studio images we were looking to capture. Even better, she actually ran a mini class for us to make sure the images were even more authentic!
And she must have liked the end result as she then commissioned me to work with her to refresh her marketing images!
Windrush Fitness offer a great range of classes - Callanetics, Cardio-callanetics, Piloxing and Kettlercise - at various venues in Bourton-on-the-Water, Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh - and Lucy wanted to showcase the different elements of these and also get some good portraits of herself and her fellow instructor Nellie.
So early one Saturday, along with a few willing volunteers, we had a fun morning putting everyone through their paces!
First up was Callanetics - a surprisingly intense form of exercise that involves small pulsing movement with deep muscle isolation and stretching ....
Then we had Piloxing - pilates, boxing and dance all rolled into one! ...
Definitely a class that Nellie enjoys teaching - as soon as she put those gloves on her eyes completely lit up!
Then, last but by no means least, we had Kettlercise - working with kettlebells it combines cardiovascular conditioning with fat loss and strength training.
Exhausting work! But in true fitness trainer style Lucy still looked as fresh as a daisy in her portraits!
Even better I've been doing Callanetics with Lucy every week since the shoot and am loving it! It leaves my legs feeling like jelly - but in a good way if that makes sense! And kettlercise is coming to my gym next month so I'll be there for that one too!

Sometimes I just feel like singing. Singing from the rooftop at the top of my voice so that the whole world can hear. Singing my heart's delight. Singing my saddest songs. Sometimes singing just because it's good to be alive.
There are times when folks just have to sing.
Falling in love is one of those times
— falling in love with a lover, a partner, a spouse
–falling in love with a newborn
— falling in love with a community
— falling in love with God
Take a minute. Still your mind. Listen in to a love song; listen in to the Song of Songs:
"The voice of my beloved. Look, he comes, leaping upon the mountains, bounding over the hills….Look, there he stands, behind our wall, gazing through the lattice. My beloved speaks and says to me, 'Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.'"
Listen for the melody. Hear the beat.
"Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away."
Do you hear echoes? Echoes of love songs you know–songs you sing. Take a minute. Let the music play in your mind. Listen to the I-pod in your heart.
Hear the echoes of those songs of new love.
Songs you hum with a smile–songs that put a bounce in your step–songs that make you quiver.
I've been hearing echoes of Ella Fitzgerald all week long.
"In time the Rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble–they're only made of clay. But our love is here to stay "
There are other times that call for other tunes–times for singing the "you don't know the half of it dearie blues". Times for humming along with U-2' "With or Without You or The Supremes' "My world is empty without you babe" or Bruce Springsteen's "Empty Sky"
Take a minute to hear the haunting tunes of songs that carry you through the hard times, the lonely times, the times when love seems hidden. Listen for echoes of the blues. Even the blues are a kind of love song. People don't sing the blues if they haven't known love or longed for love.
But the song we hear today from the Song of Songs is a song about the blush of new love.
"Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away; for now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come."
That's a love song, one of many love songs in the Song of Songs. Listen in. Hear the lovers as they sing–songs of new love and songs of love longed for.
"You have ravished my heart, my sister, my bride, you have ravished my heart with a glance of your eyes…"
Listen, too, for echoes of the blues.
"Upon my bed at night I sought him whom my soul loves; I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he gave no answer."
That lonely lover might as well be singing along with U-2,
"Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait…"
*Some people wonder what the Song of Songs is doing in the Bible.
*Some people say the Song of Songs just doesn't fit with the rest of the Bible.
*Some people say, "Save it for weddings."
But I wonder if the Song of Songs isn't of one piece with the rest of the Bible.
Isn't the Bible, like the Song of Songs, a collection of love songs and the blues–songs of gratitude, songs of praise and songs of lament, songs that tell the story of a grand love.
Take a minute. Listen for those echoes.
"I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being." sings the psalmist.
Mary sings, "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in you, O God, my Savior, for you have looked with favor on your lowly servant."
You can hear echoes of the blues in the Bible too.
The psalmist cries, "By the rivers of Babylon we sat down and wept….How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land?
The song Jesus sings from the Cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
There's another love song embedded in the Bible–the love song of God for God's creation. It's a song of faithfulness, a song of persistance, a song of delight. The love song of God for God's beloved. We all are God's beloved—short and tall, male and female, easy to love and easy to dislike, fearful and brave, gay and straight, old and young—all the beloved of God.
And we are all lovers of God.
How do we sing a song to our beloved? How do we sing a love song to God?
We do it through our prayer–in the duets we sing with our beloved—both our prayers of thanksgiving and our prayers of lament.
And we do it through our worship. Each week our awakened hearts sing out songs to God.
Yet James cautions, that's not enough. It's not enough to sing praises with our lips. It's not enough to gather in worship. Remember, Jame says, "…be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves."
James calls us to sing a love song with our lives. Indeed, our very lives make up our love song to God. That's discipleship–our love song to God.
A song we sing as we walk the path of Jesus of Nazareth
serving the poor
tending the sick
reaching out to those excluded by others
turning the other cheek when we'd just as soon issue a caustic retort
working for justice even when it's uncomfortable or inconvenient
spreading God's reconciling love as we go along our way.
How do we sing a love song to God?
We sing it with our lives.

ZIBRO has become QLIMA
The pace of development of our products for home climates regulation is being stepped up and we are also quickly expanding a range of our products. For this purpose we have chosen for our products a new brand name - QLIMA. Name QLIMA shall from now on reflect our mission.
Already for a long time we are no longer only a narrow specialist in ZIBRO petroleum stoves and appropriate fuel that name ZIBRO is still very commonly associated with by so many customers throughout the Europe. In last 30 years, we have grown into Europe's largest specialist for your home (Q)climates control. We want our brand name to state that fact clearly on all European markets and to contribute to our greater recognisability among buyers of such products.
This will enable us to develop further our products and to expand our range of products also on other segments of managing of home (Q)climates.
With a new name we also intend to conquer the new world markets, where until now we could not be present due to the trade mark registration rights.
QLIMA will continue, as did ZIBRO in the past, to be a synonym for Quality, efficiency and usability of our products as our team remains unchanged.
We have changed only the name, the Quality remains.

Development and Disaster
The United Nations Office of the High Representative for Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States has designated a list of the 49 Least Developed Countries in the world. Only one of these countries is not in Africa or Asia, guess which one. I'll give you a clue. It was just devastated by a massive earthquake and death toll estimates in the media have reached to hundreds of thousands (though I hope this number is just a product of sensational journalism). Yes, Haiti, one of the poorest nations in the world was just hit with a huge natural disaster. In a matter of minutes the scant amount of infrastructure and stability Haiti had built since 2006 was seriously compromised.
This is a time for the first responders in the development field to jump into action. Those who have prepared themselves for humanitarian relief and rescue missions are already on their way. Obama's call to action was swift as he placed Dr. Rajiv Shah of the U.S. Agency for International Development to be the government's disaster coordinator and mobilized the capable government agencies to begin rescue efforts. Millions of dollars are being allocated from disaster funds and donations are pouring in within hours (I sent a quick $10 to the Red Cross by texting "Haiti" to "90999", you can too). Pictures are flooding the internet and videos of the earthquake and its aftermath can be found on Youtube. Heart-wrenching stories and first hand narratives accompany many of the visual media and no doubt have an effect on the hearts and minds of the rest of the world. How could they not if you have any amount of compassion for fellow people?
This is a natural response, and it is the morally correct response. It is in these times of crisis, such as the September 11th attacks in the United States, which people come together, forgetting preconceived notions, and work towards a common goal that is understood by the majority of people to be good. The almost universal ability to understand when other people have been unduly harmed and the desire to help is one of the few instances when people allow themselves to perceive the humanity of one another and be moved by it.
But now I must let the other shoe drop. There is also a problem with our emotional response. This is why organizations that fight poverty or promote human rights, and that I have donated to in the past, send me solicitations with pictures of children crying and forlorn looking families. We are driven by our emotions. It is a good thing that there is an enormous international effort to get food, medicine and other supplies to Haiti as you read this. It is not good that as soon as the cameras are gone so will be the drive to help Haitians. The news cycle will move on and so will we.
What Haiti needed in the past in order to be ready for this natural disaster is just what they will need in the future to overcome the next: development. They need a stable government with social services, investment and foreign aid to begin economic growth, infrastructure and safe housing. They need to rule of law and correct zoning to ensure safety in natural disasters. They need to have inspectors to for enforcement. They need to have people who can afford to build houses correctly. This means there will be a need for good jobs to afford the construction. This is predicated on Haiti attracting business and having a sound development plan with sound fiscal policies. This goes back to having a stable representative government. This is all just to say that humanitarian efforts are important but the ensuing development work is the truly daunting task, especially as media coverage and funds dry up. In order for Haiti and other LDCs to attain the physical and financial ability to survive and recover from such natural disasters it will take a concerted effort over the course of many years.
Developed countries such as the United States are better prepared for this kind of disaster. If the earthquake happened on our soil the infrastructure and buildings would have faired better, less people would have died, relief efforts would have been easier and post-disaster development would happen quicker. New Orleans after Katrina is such an example. I am fully aware that their have been many failures and glaring problems with the Katrina humanitarian response and ensuing reconstruction efforts. Still, with a little research, it is also evident that there is a lot of money and effort from Americans assisting in the rebuilding of New Orleans. If you doubt the relative rosy hue I am putting on post-Katrina New Orleans, compare figures, such as these industrious professors and students have created, with similar indicators of Haiti's Port-au-Prince in two years. Actually this might make a good thesis for someone.
This disaster should serve as a cautionary tale for a future promising of environmental changes and challenges. Unless the developed world is satisfied successively putting out fires literally and figuratively, we should take a more committed approach to helping developing countries towards their future success. This could begin by addressing their needs in climate talks and the Doha round of WTO negotiations. If we allow countries to stagnate in underdevelopment we can expect to be in this position repeatedly.

DSD April 7, 2017: "New" - Family Friends
Shaun Cordingley
Welcome to the "Daily Song Drop": theguysfrom.com's song of the day feature where our resident indie music writer and former DJ Shaun Cordingley features a song every weekday that he feels you need to hear.
New - Family Friends
This week has been tinged with all sorts of 90s influences, and today's "New" by London/Melbourne based Brother-Sister indie duo Family Friends fits in like a glove. Off of their second EP Look the Other Way, "New" is a hazy indie grunge track that feels like they listed a bunch of their favorite 90s songs, and figured out an amazing way to fit all of them together into something that is wholly new, and completely their own.
Check out "New" below:
I love the guitar in "New", as it reminds me of so many things at the same time, but the track is not just some sort of nostalgia monster: it sweeps along, building and falling through waves of energetic, indie rock bursts into a really excellent track that has just that right balance between melancholy and tempo that keeps the song in your head for days.
Which is why I'm sharing it on a Friday: so "New" can live in your DSD-loving head for the weekend.
Look the Other Way is a solid EP, and if you enjoyed "New" you really should check the rest of it out. I'm particularly fond of the title track myself, which switches the sound up, trending more into retro-rock/pop.
Oh so close to a complete list for the DSD Playlist - Mar 17 , but that's alright...there is over 80 minutes of indie awesomeness available for you right now....not to mention...in case you somehow missed it, here is last months DSD Playlist - Feb 17
Plus, if you're interested, there is also an Apple Music Playlist for the Top 20 Songs of 2016, where I put together my favourite tracks from last year.
Remember, if you want me to put these playlists on other services (like Spotify), let me know on Twitter (I've linked it below)
If you're looking for more great music, are late to the party, or just want more theguysfrom.com in your day, here are the playlists for:
Dec 16/Jan 17
November 2016
October 2016
September 2016
There are other (earlier) playlists available for you if you check older "Tuesday Tunes" articles, or search on Apple Music itself.
See you again next week!

The Guys From do not hold the rights to any "Daily Song Drop" songs, it is more our hope to expose our readers to new and different music that we are enjoying, or re-expose them to artists they may have forgotten about.
Above the description of the song will be the song name, followed by the artists' name linked to their website, so you can fall down the rabbit hole, finding and supporting what you dig.

(195)reads |
- Can't stay in govt. if they have no faith in the Prime Minister
- Will withdraw the no faith motions if they resign from the posts
By Yohan Perera
The United National Party (UNP) is to bring in no confidence motions against six ministers who had voted in favour of the no faith motion against the Prime Minister on Wednesday., UNP MP Mujibur Rahaman said yesterday.
Mr. Rahaman told the Daily Mirror that they decided to bring in no confidence motions as they believed these ministers could not continue to be in the government if they had no faith in the Prime Minister.
Six ministers who voted for the motion were S B Dissanayake, Susil Premajayantha, Chandima Weerakody, W D J Seneviratne, Dayasiri Jayasekera and Anura Priyadharashana Yapa.
However other sources from the UNP told the Daily Mirror that five of these ministers except for Minister Jayasekera had informed the party that they had decided to resign from the ministerial posts. Mr. Rahaman who responded to this said the party will halt the move if the ministers resign.
Meanwhile the UNP back benchers have made a written request from the Prime Minister and President asking them to take action against the government ministers and MPs who voted for the no faith motion on Prime Minister. UNP MP Chaminda Wijesiri said they would be compelled to take drastic action if no action is taken against them.
We have requested the PM and the President to take action against govt. ministers, MPs who voted for

Call Now To Impact Patriot Act Renewal
ACTION REQUESTED: (WASHINGTON, DC, 7/18/2005) - CAIR today called on all people of conscience to ask their elected officials to support common sense changes to the USA Patriot Act that would protect both national security and civil liberties. Sixteen provisions of the act are slated to expire at the end of this year and Congress is considering modifications. A bill that permanently extends many controversial sections of the Patriot Act was considered by two House committees last Wednesday. It is expected to go to a vote on the House floor this week. Hundreds of CAIR supporters have already taken action by contacting or meeting with their elected representatives to express their concerns. They asked that Congress:
* Pass the Security and Freedom Enhancement (SAFE) Act of 2005 (H.R. 1526 and S. 737) and the Protection of Civil Liberties Act (H.R. 1310)
* Set any renewed provision to sunset again in 2007 and add a similar sunset provision to Section 213, which does not sunset. This ensures that measures undertaken in times of great need do not endure longer than necessary. Two of the Patriot Act's provisions in particular raise major civil liberties concerns.
* Section 215 allows law enforcement to acquire a search warrant for "any tangible thing." This can include: library records, medical records, and travel records. Additionally, it places a gag order on the person who must turn over records. Under this provision, a librarian could not tell his or her lawyer that they had to turn over someone's library records.
* Section 213 replaces traditional "knock and announce" search warrants with "sneak and peek." searches, delaying notice of the execution of a search warrant for a "reasonable time." This can mean never informing the subject of the warrant that their possessions were searched. In substantive cases involving international or domestic terrorism, investigations conducted in secret are reasonable. However, Section 213, as written, is not limited to terror cases. It can be applied to any federal investigation, such as an examination of delinquent student loans.
"Congress hears the concerns of constituents," said CAIR Governmental Affairs Director Corey Saylor, "Already, a positive modification disallowing funds for law enforcement searches of bookstores and libraries has passed the House." (E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com)
IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUESTED: 1) Contact your Representative in the U.S. Congress and ask them to support greater limitations and oversight of the Patriot Act. Go to: http://capwiz.com/cair/callalert/index.tt?alertid=7847926&type=CO
2) Get your friends and family to put their faith into action. (You will automatically be asked to do this after you send your message from the above site.)
3) You may also call your representatives through the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. (Have your ZIP Code ready.)

WASHINGTON (CNS) — In another in a series of bitterly divided end-of-term cases, the Supreme Court June 29 upheld the execution protocol used by Oklahoma and several other states.
The 5-4 ruling written by Justice Samuel Alito upheld lower courts that said the use of the drug midazolam in lethal injection does not violate Eighth Amendment protections against cruel and unusual punishment.
The ruling was among the last three opinions released, closing out the court's 2014 term. Aside from announcing the disposition of other cases it has been asked to review, the court is not scheduled to conduct any further business in the public eye until the 2015 term opens Oct. 5.
The majority opinion in Glossip v. Gross noted that it has been previously established multiple times that capital punishment is constitutional and only delved into whether the claims by Oklahoma death-row inmates that the effects of the drugs used in lethal injection are unnecessarily painful. Among the reasons Alito cited in upholding lower courts were that "the prisoners failed to identify a known and available alternative method of execution that entails a lesser risk of pain."
Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas each filed concurring opinions. Alito's majority ruling also was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Justice Anthony Kennedy.
Two of the four justices who disagreed with Alito each wrote a dissenting opinion, including one in which Justices Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg called for briefings on whether the death penalty itself ought to be ruled unconstitutional. "I believe it highly likely that the death penalty violates the Eighth Amendment," Breyer wrote. "At the very least, the court should call for full briefing on the basic question."
In his majority ruling, Alito discussed at length the evidence presented about whether midazolam fails to act sufficiently as a sedative to prevent inmates who are being executed from suffering an undue amount of pain. The cases arose after several situations like that of Clayton Lockett. At his April 2014 execution, he writhed in pain for 40 minutes before dying of apparent heart failure.
Alito recounted the circumstances leading to the use of midazolam, which has become an alternative for other drugs, whose manufacturers refuse to supply them for use in executions. He went into graphic detail about the murders committed by the death-row inmates who sued.
In his concurrence and pointed disagreement with Breyer, Thomas also described brutal crimes that landed people on death row. It was the third criminal justice case in the last weeks of the term in which Thomas has made a point of writing about severe sentences being necessary because of the pain inflicted on crime victims and their families.
Like Alito's majority opinion, Sotomayor devoted much of her dissent to dissecting the testimony about the effects of midazolam. She took issue with the majority brushing past the inmates' plea "that they at least be allowed a stay of execution while they seek to prove midazolam's inadequacy." She was joined in the dissent by Breyer, Ginsburg and Justice Elena Kagan.
Sotomayor said the court accomplished that "first, by deferring to the District Court's decision to credit the scientifically unsupported and implausible testimony of a single expert witness; and second, by faulting petitioners for failing to satisfy the wholly novel requirement of proving the availability of an alternative means for their own executions. On both counts the court errs. As a result, it leaves petitioners exposed to what may well be the chemical equivalent of being burned at the stake."
She said that in sweeping aside substantial evidence that midazolam "cannot be utilized to maintain unconsciousness in the face of agonizing stimuli," the majority accepted one witness's "wholly unsupported claims that 500 milligrams of midazolam will 'paralyze the brain.' In so holding, the court disregards an objectively intolerable risk of severe pain."
The majority responded to Sotomayor's points about the potential for such an outcome by calling it a "groundless suggestion that our decision is tantamount to allowing prisoners to be 'drawn and quartered, slowly tortured to death, or actually burned at the stake.' That is simply not true and the principal dissent's resort to this outlandish rhetoric reveals the weakness of its legal arguments."
Scalia's concurring opinion — joined by Thomas — mostly took on Breyer's dissent, faulting him for suggesting the death penalty might be unconstitutional.
"Mind you, not once in the history of the American Republic has this court ever suggested the death penalty is categorically impermissible," Scalia wrote. "The reason is obvious: It is impossible to hold unconstitutional that which the Constitution explicitly contemplates. The Fifth Amendment provides that "[n]o person shall be held to answer for a capital … crime unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury,' and that no person shall be 'deprived of life … without due process of law.' Nevertheless, today Justice Breyer takes on the role of the abolitionists in this long-running drama, arguing that the text of the Constitution and two centuries of history must yield to his '20 years of experience on this court,' and inviting full briefing on the continued permissibility of capital punishment."
Breyer's argument, Scalia wrote, "is full of internal contradictions and (it must be said) gobbledygook."

140* 02.8' West
Controller Bay, Nuku Hiva, Marquesas, French Polynesia
May 16, 2010
We, along the Totem family and the whole town of Taipivai, donned our Sunday best for church. The priest came up to us before the service began and found where we were from and then invited us to sit in the second row. The church had stone walls about three high and then a roof that was lined with woven mats. There is about a four foot open area on the side walls between the top of the wall and the overhang of t he roof. This allows the air to flow through across the building. There were incredible cravings everywhere. pulpit was a really neat mix of Catholic and Marquesan symbolism.
There was alot of singing throughout the service, some of it accompanied by guitar, some a-cappella, some some solo, some the whole congregation. I was able to discreetly record a couple of clips with my camera. During the service, which was all in Marquesan, we recognized the priest introducing us "de Washington" and the song that repeated "hallelujah". There was also another call and response part of the service that at the very least was sung to the tune of "Michael Row Your Boat Ashore". The people were very welcoming and several of the older folks came up to us all after the service to shake our hands.
Brad and I had ventured into town the previous day and had been helped out by the woman who was running the store. We found her and the three kids we had met and befriended. We had brought an extra set of "Uno" cards to teach the kids how to play. One of the older kids already knew how to play a little and had a few English words. We had about seven kids playing. We left the deck of cards with the kids and they immediately started playing another round!

Hi Marko, many thanks for your advice. I revisited Mr.Delcamp's demonstrations and compared with my playing. I totally agree your advice on my left hand positioning that I did not notice at all by myself. I'll take conscious efforts to following your advice in my future practise. Thanks again for your valuable feedback.Marko Räsänen wrote:Very good David! Very precise playing!
What I noticed was that your left wrist is too much pronated (rotated counter-clockwise when seen from above). The palm of your hand should be in line with the bottom of the guitar neck by default although you will need to rotate your wrist depending on what you're playing. In other words, bring your pinky closer to the fretboard.

A Reiki Master attunes various other reiki professionals or undertakes the Reiki attunement procedure in three levels or degrees. In the first level, called Shoden in Japanese, the fundamental theories and practices are instructed.
Thus the Reiki master trains the recipients on the various hand positions preferring the entire body treatment for others.
The duration of this level depends only on the reiki master. The second level of Reiki attunement known as the Shokuden in Japanese consists of the reiki master training the recipients on various Reiki symbols to empower the recovery process and help with the energy flow. Use of Reiki signs that connects the energy flow from the practitioner to the healee. Hence, at the end of this level, the practitioners have the ability to heal others across time or space.
Reiki training is the procedure where an extremely experienced Reiki master trains other possible specialists in this art of palm recovery.
It should be kept in mind that Reiki training does not take place in the normal class method, rather the abilities are moved from the master to the recipients with the previous's palms just like a recovery process. Considering that Reiki training includes the Reiki master moving the ability of tuning into to the universal life force energy, directing and channelizing the very same through one's palms to another's body parts, this ritualistic process is popularly called the Reiki attunement process.
The word chakra is actually a Sanskrit word, meanings round and it denotes the seven energy points of our body.
These are the energy whorls associateded with the infinite universal energy being the receiving and transmitting centers for the same.
Hence open chakras for the sake of staying healthy physically, psychologically and spiritually. Open chakras which are closed, blocked, or under active.
The flow of energy from such a chakra should be opened up and balanced for the proper performance of the psychological and physical elements of that chakra. You ought to carry out a chakra test to determine the under active and obstructed ones and afterwards open chakras with methods like meditation and other chakra workouts.
To open chakras, you require to recognize the chakras that are blocked.
This can be plainly understood from the mental or physical worry an individual feels. For instance, your solar plexus chakra has to be opened and the energy flow well balanced thereof in case you have digestion troubles. Once again, and your heart chakra needs to be opened in case you continuously struggle with the fear of betrayal, being hurt by a loved one, and so on
A Reiki master is needed to perform Reiki attunement. One can not learn this treatment alone as it requires many techniques and ideas. Appropriate assistance can be provided by Reiki Masters using of the correct stations.
One's total vibration can be raised with Reiki attunement.
A distinct recovery experience can be experienced by individuals; this holds true more so for those who are handling emotional crises.
Radical changes in day to day life can be anticipated by attunement. It's just by selecting the right Reiki master that can expect these transformations.
Attunement can be irreversible or either temporary. One can just end up being a Reiki practitioner after going through attunement.
The finest method to becoming acquainted to the art of palm recovery is by taking the Reiki Course. 'Rei-ki' or 'Universal-Life Force Energy' works on the viewpoint that our body has '7 energy points' or '7 Chakras' along the vertical line of the spine till the crown of our head.
The chakras require to be unblocked and in full balance for obtaining wholesome wellness for the human body both in mind and soul.

Nourished: F. Miller Skincare
For someone who is obsessed with skincare, my routine is extremely simple. I have only a few great products in my rotation. In the morning, I cleanse with Pai's cleanser, followed by an oil of my liking, then Ursa Major of VT sunscreen. In the evening I do the same sans the sunscreen - that's it. I will occasionally add in a serum or an extra oil, and I do a mask once a week. My skin loves simplicity and has been so much calmer since I stripped down my routine. I still get breakouts, but they're usually less severe, and when I do get them, I just allow my skin to be where it wants to be.
I recently started to use F. Miller Skincare products, and I am in love with everything I've tried so far. I've been using the face oil day and night, and my skin loves it. My skin has been less red/irritated and very hydrated and dewy (without being greasy). I've also noticed a reduction of the small comedones I get on my chin and forehead. It doubles as a beautiful essential oil blend to inhale before applying - with neroli, jasmine, frankincense, and bergamot. These are some of my favorite essential oils, and they smell so delicious together.
I've also been using the eye treatment oil. I especially love the stainless steel roller - it's incredibly cooling and refreshing to the touch. The skin around my eyes is easily irritated, and I often get eczema on my eyelids, which is why I can only use select oils/creams on my face. Typically, when I try something new, it's an immediate no. This product is so gentle, and it has the opposite effect - it's calming, and it reduces my puffiness in the morning. I'm completely in love!
The body oil is so yummy and luxurious. I've been using it after every shower, and it soaks easily into damp skin. Try it. You'll love it.
I've never used hair oil, and I have no idea why because I have very coarse, frizzy hair. This hair oil does not make my hair greasy at all, and calms my frizz. I use it on both my naturally-dried and blow-dried hair.
Not only is this line ton-toxic and cruelty-free, it's also independently owned by an incredible woman, Fran. I had the pleasure of meeting her recently, and she's amazing. If you try any of these products, your skin and hair will thank her.

Josh Byers
If you were to walk in the front door of the house I grew up in, your eyes would be immediately drawn to the fixture on the wall in front of you. And like many others, you would turn to me with wide eyes, pointing with a full arm extended, and ask "what is that?"
No, it wasn't a weird painting or mounted head or anything, it was much more horrifying.
A true old style rotary phone with bells on top that ring when somebody called.
Why is it horrifying you ask? Have you ever dialed a full phone number on one of those things? The novelty is lost immediately when you realize you're dialing a phone number that includes several nine's and zero's. Five minutes after you started, your call is actually ringing. In fact I think it was faster back in the day when you just told the operator what number you wanted to connect to...
My kids however are fascinated by the thing. The rotary dial that spins back each time with its many clicks and the clanging bells when it rings are all things of amazement because they've never lived in a house with a landline. We cut the cord before they were born and haven't had a traditional phone in our home for many years. This was all wonderful and hasn't been a problem until our daughter was old and mature enough to stay at home by herself or babysit and now we found ourselves with a problem.
How will she contact us to ask how to put out a grease fire?
Now every parent must weigh if and when they will provide their children a mobile phone. Our rational (or irrational based on your view) for doing so now are several things. Its not gospel and I'll admit the first one is probably the main reason (though number four is a close second...)
Convenience: It's very easy and comforting to be able to know you can reach your child or your child can reach you at anytime.
Cost: We already own the device and to be added to our mobile phone plan was much less then to buy another phone/system or landline.
Reliability: We have tried the wifi only route for awhile, and while we never had real problems, our internet goes out enough and the call quality was sketchy enough to make me nervous.

- MikroC
- Hitech C
After compiling, various files will be generated, but we only concern with the file with extension .hex , because we burn or load this file into our microcontroller.
As we use PIC microcontroller and MikroC compiler, so we only concern with it. We look at structure of mikroC program,libraries and other features...
Look at the general structure below
Void main( )
Program statement; // comments
All the statements will be in between parenthesis i.e { } and every program statement should be terminated with ; and comments should be after // . Its all similar to C language.
Let us look at simple example of blinking LEDs which are connected to Portb of PIC microcontroller.
Void main( )
TRISB=0; //PORTB as output
while(1) //loop forever
PORTB=0b00000000; // All leds are off i.e 0
Delay_Ms(1000); // 1000 Milli sec delay i.e 1sec delay
PORTB=0b11111111;// ON all the leds connected to portb
Delay_Ms(1000); // 1sec delay
- Here 0b00000000 is binary value.Portb have 8 pins so each bit value corresponds to each pin. i.e right most bit lsb 0 is portb.0 next bit portb.1 , next bit portb.2 and so on upto portb.7. When we make pin 0 then the led connected to it will be in OFF state, when portb=1 then ON state.
- Delay_Ms( ) is the mikroC library function to generate the delay. We have generated 1000ms i.e 1sec delay between OFF and ON.
Note this is just an example program which is intended to show you the structure, we will look more deeply as our topics go further.

This three-day event is one that our team has dubbed as a "MUST REPEAT!" All the food, wine, and celebrity chefs you could ever want or hope to see are in Aspen, Colorado at this time. We were in a culinary dream. After driving through Independence Pass (if you haven't done this, do it, it's insanely gorgeous) we were wondering how this trip could get any better. Upon arriving in Aspen, the crisp, cool air and snow-crested mountains welcomed us with open arms. But the real beauty was the setup in Wagner Park. The iconic white tents lined the park, patiently awaiting several thousand attendees to soak in its beauty with a slight buzz and full belly.
This year, Verlasso partnered with the very well-respected local culinary team from Caribou Club, as well as two-time James Beard award winner and blue ribbon task force Chef John Ash, to create a dish that would go down in history at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. The result – Verlasso Salmon Sashimi topped with Lemongrass Sorbet, Confetti of Vegetables and a Thai style Vinaigrette. Sounds incredible, right? We were convinced it would be amazing, but never in a million years expected it to be as popular as it was.
By the end of the event, we had served over 5,000 delicious samples to over 2,000 attendees. That equated to nearly 400 pounds of sustainable salmon. Attendees of all ages were saying Verlasso was the talk of the town for those three days because the dish was just so refreshing and had such a unique, well-rounded flavor profile. Luckily for you, you can get the recipe here and enjoy it in the comfort of your own home with a chilled glass of Bonterra Sauvignon Blanc.
So what was our favorite part about #FWClassic? It was getting the opportunity to be a voice for sustainable aquaculture. Many attendees left our station feeling more connected to the dish just by knowing exactly how the salmon was raised and harvested. Special thanks to Thomas Barlow for creating a stunning ice sculpture that helped showcase just how stunning the Verlasso farm sites are. By creating a beautiful story that included a sense of place as well as a great bite, the impact of our presence was felt! See you next year in Aspen!

I just discovered this active and healthy forum section for electric mandolins and thought you all might like this.
I built this a few years ago and it sold the same week I put it into my shop before I remembered to take many photos. Mahogany body and set mahogany necks. The bound necks have those little binding nibs just like a Gibson. The mandolin has a scale length of 12.75" and the bouzouki has a scale length of 25". Pickups are US Fender P-Bass. The tail pieces are hand shaped from aluminum bar stock and the bridges are a rosewood base with a bone saddle. I was going to employ a piezo undersaddle pickup but decided that it would make the electronics unnecessarily complicated. The finish is Mohawk instrument lacquer white pigment with a few drops of amber. The guy who bought it is a professional Greek entertainer in Trenton NJ and I wish I could find him so I could borrow the instrument back and and trace out the body to a template. The whole project was done without any plans freestyle.

Kelambakkam, 30th of November 2016
Our last night in India changed our perception of the country a lot!
We can't lie – we saw some beautiful things here, like Taj Mahal, and met some very nice people like our hosts in Delhi, but somehow we still couldn't see ourselves in India.
Before we set off on our trip, we decided that in each place we travel to, we'll be trying to focus on exploring the everydayness of local people's lives and imagining what would have been our way of living, if we were born here.
By the end of our time in India, we were convinced that this country didn't stimulate us enough to let ourselves imagine living here. Don't get us wrong – we were 'stimulated' a lot, especially by the people, but it seemed like not in the right direction. The advice we were given was great, but it must have been not in line with our interests. The people we met were helpful and lovely, but they didn't seem to understand the way we approach life. Maybe that's why we didn't feel the connection between us and India. This made us feel quite lonely.
It all changed though on our last night, when we met Anamika and Rama…They were figuratively and literally a breath of fresh air!
When we visited the DakshinaChitra Museum in Tamil Nadu, we stumbled upon an exhibition "I see what I draw". I was totally mesmerised by it because I didn't expect to see something that contemporary and open-minded here, near Kelambakkam, where we stayed.
Majority of people, who we've seen on the streets, seemed to run little businesses, restaurants or have stalls, where they sold everything and nothing. We haven't seen any art galleries and only a handful of museums. So when we stumbled across this exhibition, we were quite moved and suddenly forgot about the busy streets where you need to be assertive towards cows, if you want to have a space to walk, and at the same time not to step on some seller's goods spread out on the ground.
The artworks didn't give us any clues on who the author might be – a woman or a man, an Indian citizen or a foreigner? Only when I walked up to the table where the author's books were placed, I started reading about her background and previous projects. Suddenly someone walked up to me and introduced herself. Only then I realised that it was the artist herself!
Anamika said she noticed my interest in her works and thought she would surprise me. Indeed, that was an excellent surprise, which I didn't expect!
Two days later, Zach and I were on the way to Anamika's studio. Our Uber was finding the way through the muddy streets and suddenly we stopped in front of the house. The driver drove away just when we realised that it wasn't the right door number…We could see the beginning and the end of the street so when I called Anamika and she said she is standing in front of her house but can't see us, we got a bit worried – we had no idea where we were… I showed the map to a local lady, who happened to be outside her house and staring at us (like the majority of the people living on this street…), and soon we were calling Anamika again. With joint effort we managed to describe where we were.
Rama, Anamika's partner, advised us on the phone to stay where we were. He would come and pick us up. In a few minutes we saw a huge jeep emerging from behind the houses. A friendly bearded man, whom I recognised from the exhibition, was waving at us from behind the wheel.
Rama later told us that he didn't have a trouble finding us – wherever he stopped to ask people if they saw someone walking here, they would immediately respond: "THEY went this way!" and would point the direction Zach and I walked in.
Although we only planned on staying at Anamika's studio for a short time, making a little interview about her works and taking a few photos, we ended up staying there for almost three hours!
We got to know that Anamika and Rama work together and they are both established artists. Rama introduced us to his newest project, an amazing wooden cabinet with 64 little windows, which, when opened, take you to the world of Indian streets. You can find there whatever there is in the world to find!
We also listened to the story of their marriage and couldn't believe how similar it was to ours – the wedding just for two of them, and then two more: one for each family. The only difference was that we still have these two weddings to go!
We talked about the world of art and commission and the balance between the work that one has to do and the work that one wants to do. Their story was not only easy for me to relate to, but I believe for a lot of artists, wherever in the world they are.
What was striking about Anamika and Rama, that was different to all the other people we met whilst in India, was that they recognised the problems existing in their country and they openly talked about them. With their open-mindedness, both of them confirmed the understanding of the differences that exist in the society. Understanding this in itself is what let them comfortably move around a variety of people: doesn't matter whether they are educated or not, whether they are doctors or manual workers.
This was easily noticeable also in their personal art projects – the artworks were a mix of satire and street style, a collective of objects, which could reach to any person, as long as the receivers are open-minded.
The exhibition that we stumbled across in the Dakshina Chitra Museum was open to absolutely everyone and seen by people from all walks of life. People were also allowed to write their reviews in the open book. There was one that really attracted our attention: "How could you show such perverted works like this here?! Have you forgotten your Indian heritage?" – all four of us discussed that it was quite a success to make a person, seeing Anamika's art, react to it. The art in itself made the observer feel and think.
We got to know that Anamika and Rama also love travels. We exchanged some tips and they suggested visiting the places in India that we haven't been told about. And believe me, everyone, who we have met so far, had a lot to advise us on! The difference in this case was that finally someone recognised what would appeal to us.
We also saw their enormous art studio/house and as we walked through the little corridors, there was always something to surprise us: a cat, a collection of masks brought from all over the world, a beautiful blue glass works' collection, a cabinet full of paints.
That night we left our new friends' house feeling uplifted. We both couldn't remember when was the last time that someone made us so happy. Because we do travel to see the beautiful wonders of the world and nature, but what would be the world without the amazing people? This is the reason we keep going – to find our soul mates on the other side of the world.
Thank you Anamika and Rama, we feel very lucky to have been able to spend our evening with you!
