As the long winter nights draw in, our needs become quite simple: a big log fire, huge comfy sofas to sink into, interesting books and nick-nacks to browse, bracing walks, a long bath and a good meal to come back to in the evening. In short: we need a couple of nights at a country house hotel.
But which one? Do we choose an 'old school' country pile with Jeeves-style butlers, tartan sofas and coats of arms, or one of the new breed of ice-cool chintz-free retreats? Both, in their own way, are terrifying, and at neither will you get a room for under £250 a night.
But there is a third way. It is possible to have the country house experience without paying a lord's ransom. Alastair Sawday, publisher of Special Places to Stay, selects 10 rural retreats from the new edition, where you'll be made to feel at home (if only your home were an Edwardian pile/Elizabethan manor house/medieval hunting lodge) and where a double room costs less than £150 a night.
Exquisite manors
Langar Hall
One of the most delightful places in the book, and reason enough to come to Nottinghamshire, the house sits at the top of a hill in glorious parkland, next door to the church. Imogen's family came here over 150 years ago, and much of what fills the house arrived then. It's easy to feel intoxicated by beautiful things here; statues and busts, a pillared dining room, ancient tomes in overflowing bookshelves, a good collection of oil paintings. Bedrooms are wonderful, some resplendent with antiques, others with fabrics draped from beams or trompe l'il panelling. Heavenly food, simply prepared for healthy eating, makes this almost a restaurant-with-rooms, so you'll need to book if you want to enjoy their own lamb, fish from Brixham, game from Belvoir Castle and garden-grown vegetables. In the grounds are medieval fish ponds, canals, a den-like adventure play area and, once a year, Shakespeare on the lawn.

Doubles £90-£185. Singles £65-£100. Lunch £15. Dinner £30 and à la carte.
Lovelady Shield
nr Alston, Cumbria
From the front door you can walk straight into an area of the High Pennines that is remote and utterly unspoilt. The River Nent runs through the garden, and at the bridge four footpaths meet. The house, hidden down a long and suitably bumpy drive, was rebuilt in 1832. The cellars date from 1690, the foundations from the 14th century when it is thought a religious order stood here. No noise, save for sheep in the fields, the birds in the trees and a burbling river that you can hear if you sleep with your window open. Peter and Marie run the place with a hint of eccentricity and masses of charm. A small rag-rolled bar and pretty sitting rooms full of clocks and log fires give a low-key, country-house feel. Long windows in all rooms bring the views inside, and French windows open up for Pimm's on the lawn. The food is superb: Barrie is a master chef, and you dine surrounded by gilt mirrors, sash windows and fresh flowers. Upstairs, dark hallways lead through old pine doors to bright bedrooms with window seats, maybe a sofa, good furniture and Scrabble; most have gorgeous views.
· Lovelady Shield, Nenthead Road, nr Alston, Cumbria CA9 3LF (01434 381203; www.lovelady.co.uk).
Half-board only, £60-£130pp. Dinner, four courses, included; non-residents £34.50. Lunch by arrangement.
The Dial House,
Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire
The 'Venice of the Cotswolds', and such a peaceful setting, with sandstone Georgian houses and the slow, meandering River Windrush drifting by. Cotswolds travellers are drawn to the genteel buzz of Bourton village life. There's lots going on, and in its midst stands The Dial House, built in 1698 by architect Andrew Paxford. Originally the Vinehouse, it was renamed after the large sundial above the front door. Inside, Jane and Adrian have created an oasis of old-world charm, with Jacobean-style furniture, wonderful four-posters, old portraits and impressive stone fireplaces. Elegant yet friendly, it epitomises the traditional country-house hotel. The best bedrooms are in the main house, with views of the village and river through leaded window panes, lovely antiques, a refreshing lack of chintz, Penhaligon smellies and organic chocolates. Rooms in an extension look out on to the walled garden, and the classic English menu takes a lot of beating.
· The Dial House, The Chestnuts, Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire GL54 2AN (01451 822244; www.dialhousehotel.com).
Doubles£110-£120. Suite £175. Half-board (min. 2 nights) £75 pp. Dinner, à la carte, from £35 for 3 courses.
Penally Abbey
Tenby, Pembrokeshire
It's not often a hotel exceeds your expectations, but then there aren't many like Penally. It's not a grand hotel and doesn't pretend to be. It just does well the simple things that make a stay memorable. Steve's gentle, unflappable manner suits front of house: chatting to guests one minute, taking orders and mixing a drink at a small bar the next - he makes it look so easy. There's an unhurried charm about the place; you won't feel rushed into doing anything. The building is a former 1790s abbey; there's also a ruined 13th-century church called St Diniel's - lit up at night - suggesting even earlier roots. A beautiful garden looks across Carmarthen Bay. The beach is a 10-minute walk and great for pebble collectors; beautiful coastal walks lead from here. Bedrooms are all different: most in the main house have gorgeous four-posters and antiques, while those in the Tuscan-style coach house are more cottagey. Elleen cooks in the French style, much of it picked up in the kitchen of a chteau many years back. The Tenby sea bass was exquisite.
· Penally Abbey, Penally, Tenby, Pembrokeshire SA70 7PY (01834 843033; www.penally-abbey.com).
Doubles £126-£148. Singles £98. Half-board £90-£104pp. Dinner £30. Lunch by arrangement.
Glewstone Court Country House Hotel
Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire
Grand, yet relaxed enough to have no rule book. Bill does front of house, Christine cooks - brilliantly; they are charming and fun. There's faded glamour and an easy conviviality in the drawing room bar, full of squashy sofas and an open log fire in front of which resident dogs lounge. The centre of the house is early Georgian, with stunning stairs that spiral up to a galleried landing. Big bedrooms have patchwork quilts, period pieces, Christine's pretty stencil work, comfy chairs and good reading lights. The Rose Room is wonderful and the Victoria Room enormous. All look over fruit orchards to the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean beyond. Dominating the croquet lawn at the front is the largest cedar of Lebanon in the West; there's a modest helipad, too. Dine in the lovely restaurant with open fires in winter, or outside in good weather. The easy dress code welcomes all styles, except baseball caps and mobile phones. Most food is locally sourced - the Hereford beef is exceptional - some organic, some from the potager. Heaven for those in search of the small and friendly.
· Glewstone Court Country House Hotel & Restaurant, Glewstone, Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire HR9 6AW (01989 770367; www.glewstonecourt.com)
Doubles £99-£115. Singles £49-£65. Lunch about £20. Dinner, 3 courses, about £27. Sunday lunch £17.
The Norfolk Mead Hotel
Coltishall, Norfolk
The setting is enchanting, and you can paddle your canoe from the bottom of the garden to the Broads. But make time for these eight acres of lawns, trees, walled garden, swimming pool and fish-stocked lake. The sugar planter's house was built in 1740 - big, gracious and beautifully proportioned. Come for the people, the food and the easy-going comforts of a country-house hotel. A coronet bedhead, a Victorian bath with brass fittings, a striped attic snug ... each bedroom is individual, and full of special touches: beribboned sheaves of Norfolk lavender, a teddy on the pillows, a basket of primroses, scrumptious linen. There's a fine entrance hall with sofas and log fire, a bar that opens to the garden, and menus from a creative young chef. Food is light, delicate and sophisticated: partridge from Norfolk, mussels from Morston. Jill is lovely and full of ideas, daughter Nicky can massage or manicure you, and the barn owl may hoot you to sleep.
· The Norfolk Mead Hotel, Coltishall, nr Norwich, Norfolk NR12 7DN (01603 737531; www.norfolkmead.co.uk).
Doubles £85-£160. Singles £70-£95. Suites from £160. Half-board from £72pp. Dinner £31.50. Sunday lunch £16.75.
Pen-y-Dyffryn Country Hotel
nr Oswestry, Shropshire
Staggeringly beautiful scenery surrounds this old rectory, commissioned in 1845 by its first rector, Robert Williams, who compiled the first Celtic dictionary. The relaxed and easy-going manner of Miles, Audrey and their staff suffuses the house with comfort and joy. The bedrooms are 'comfy old house', with good fabrics and some with hand-painted furniture. One little double has its own flight of stairs, while the four rooms in the old stable are big and contemporary, with private terraces. Nearly every room has spectacular views. There's a sitting room with log fire to curl up in, a restaurant for all tastes serving wonderful food (breakfasts, too, are spot on), organic beers and wines and a front terrace on which to sip long drinks. The five green acres of Pen-y-Dyffryn start at the top of the hill and roll down to Wales, the river at the foot of the beautiful valley marking the natural border.
· Pen-y-Dyffryn Country Hotel, Rhydycroesau, Oswestry, Shropshire SY10 7JD (01691 653700; www.peny.co.uk).
Doubles £98-£140. Singles £78. Dinner £28.
Hurst House
Laugharne, Carmarthenshire
Arriving here is like falling off the end of the world on to a pillow of unadulterated style. This pocket of sophistication is miles from anywhere, isolated by windswept marshland in all directions; from a distance, the hotel looks half-crushed by the weight of the sky. The building is Georgian and older, with parquet floors, sash windows, stone fireplaces and exposed beams, but the interiors couldn't be more contemporary ... bold colours, chic furniture, seductive lighting, pristine bathrooms and Bang & Olufsen televisions and DVD players in every room. Matt is young, friendly and believes in good food, generous service and great parties - there's no stuffy pretension here. (And no need to keep quiet for the neighbours: they own 69 acres of marsh towards the coast.) A pond created near the house is fantastic at night, lit by underwater fibre optics; a spa is planned for derelict barns. Dion, the chef, is young, talented and changes the menu according to what's local and in season. Fabulous for party people and the young at heart.
· Hurst House, East Marsh, Laugharne, Carmarthenshire SA33 4RS (01994 427417; www.hurst-house.co.uk).
From £125. Deluxe double £200. Lunch £11.95. Dinner £22.95; à la carte, about £26.
Beechwood Country House Hotel
Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway
Once an adventure boarding school for young ladies, now an atmospheric country-house hotel, this breathes an air of well-being, thanks to Stavros and Cheryl, so proud of their new venture and generous with treats: Penhaligon lotions in the bathroom, malt whiskies in the bar (Stavros's delight) and Loch Fyne kippers for breakfast. Beechwood walks - 12 acres of them - start from the door, and there are wellies in case you've forgotten yours, and clean towels for muddy dogs: the attention to detail amazes. Sitting rooms have books, games and magazines, there's a smoking bar for cigars, hot cocoa for bed. The place hums with warmth and welcome: antiques and objets from far-flung places, family paintings on mellow yellow walls, kilims on polished pine, lilies from Edinburgh. Bedrooms are simply lovely, with white linen on big beds and wooden shutters to help you lie in. And in the dining room: fresh, colourful food from a singing chef, served on starched linen, and views over the gentle valley. Beyond, the spa town of Moffat bustles with restaurants, shops and bars.
· Beechwood Country House Hotel, Harthope Place, Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway DG10 9HX (01683 220210; beechwoodcountryhousehotel.co.uk).
Doubles £96. Half-board £73pp. Singles £62. Dinner £25.
Builth Wells, Powys
This big, elegant, 1920s fishing lodge, set beneath plunging hills and moorland, has been given a new lease of life; sit back and let the river tumble past your window. There's a soft-carpeted, country-house glow here, with English antiques and a dash of oriental spice: rooms are full of interest, and rugs and paintings from far-flung travels. The entrance hall and library are quintessential, wood-panelled 'hunting lodge' - minus antlers on the walls. First-floor bedrooms have fine proportions and a light, harmonious feel; creamy carpets, rich wall-hangings, generous beds and (bar one) waterside views. Those that look downriver are as big as suites. Yolande has an eye for every little extra, gives you breakfast when you like and is a terrific cook; don't miss the sticky toffee pudding. If you're an angler like your host, there are 800 yards of double-bank salmon and trout fishing to cast your line in - and 27 acres of grounds. Pwll-y-Faedda runs on oiled wheels and is great for weddings and house parties. Fishing by advance booking. Children seven and over welcome.
· Pwll-y-Faedda, Erwood, Builth Wells, Powys LD2 3YS (01982 560202; www.pwllyfaedda.co.uk).
Doubles £70-£90. Singles £50. Dinner, 3 courses, £28.

Yesterday I had to put my 5 1/2 year old Red Doberman Chloe to rest. Her health had deteriorated to such a point that there was no hope for her recovery.
We had a great last day at the park with my other dog Pierce where Chloe was able to play and show off some of her old spirit and energy. She passed away in my arms peacefully at the Vet's office.
I know that she is at peace now as she was in the picture attached from when she was healthy. She had once been a hulking behemoth as she was even curled up on her bed in the photo before her massive weight loss and sickness had begun.
She was a great loving companion who also doubled as a great security system who will be truly missed.
Beautiful animal. You lost a companion but you will never lose the memories.
Sorry to hear... our dogs bring us so much joy, and then so much sorrow when they leave us. I've been there, and I can only say I share your sadness.

May I Go Now?
May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I want to go
I really do.
It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day.
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid,
because I see your tears.
I'll not be far,
I promise that, and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me.
You know I love you too,
that's why it's hard to say goodbye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today.

She was quite a cat. She would cry for me to pick her up then she would climb up on my shoulders. Then she would purr and nuzzle my ear. I still miss her. I now have a new kitten who is quite rambunctious and a joy to watch.
I'm really sorry, my wife's dog passed away a few days ago, I know how hard it is. They're more than just pets, they're family.

My truck was broken in to in the wee hours of Sunday morning. They stole one of my 10 round Glcok mags for my G23 in my door full of FMJ. Left a very expensive pair of sunglasses alone, as well at a portable GPS unit. Took some change from a cup in my console (sorted out the silver and left the pennies). They did leave their own sunglasses behind though. I was very lucky they took nothing else. I got in very late (2 AM) and just forgot to lock my doors. The police showed up, (friends of mine), and took a report. They also took the sunglasses they left, I dont expect to hear anythign or get any of it back. I have been known to leave a gun in there from time to time just because I forgot it. I am usually very vigilant about locking my doors. Just slipped this time. I used to advocate a car/truck gun....but I think I may have had my mind changed for me.

Sounds like kids. They weren't looking to make money, they were probably just bored. The change was easy and the mag was "cool" to them. No respect anymore.

Yeah my truck was already unecessarily messy so they couldnt mess it up much. I just realized when I went out there that they took the time to turn off the cab light so they didnt get seen. So they were fumbling in the dark probably why they missed the GPS.

In South Florida, you leave NOTHING in view inside the vehicle, and you limit what you have in the passenger compartment. Inside I only have my reg/insurance card, and the car charger for whatever phone I am using. Leatherman, Flashlight, etc. is in the trunk in the spare tire compartment. I also disconnected my trunk button inside my car.

We had stuff taken out of our car...the one time my wife forgot to lock it. I went around the sub and shared with folk what had happened only to find out that about a dozen cars had stuff missing.
Fortunately, the cops eventually caught the dirtbags and I got my stuff back.

When I first arrived in Canada for college at the age of 17, I left my car door unlocked. I figured "hey, it's the Canadian boondocks, what could happen?"
Of course, I didn't have any firearms with me, and they just nicked the CDs I had in the car. The rest was junk pretty much. Since then, I've been very diligent, and I fully understand that this can happen anywhere.
A long time ago my wife and I purchased a conversion van. Beautiful vehicle. She went to Best Buy and locked it up, was in the store only about 10 minutes. When she came out the electric locks were damaged and the tv & vcr were gone. Total to replace the tv & vcr was about $300. Price to fix the electronic locks and the door was about $1,200.

Telegram app free-speech advocate no stranger to Apple-FBI woes
(Repeats story that first ran on Tuesday evening)
By Eric Auchard
BARCELONA Feb 23 (Reuters) - Pavel Durov, founder of secure messaging app Telegram and VKontakte, lives in the vortex that now pits technology giant Apple against the FBI.
His current venture, Telegram, has been built from the ground up to resist government pressure, operating in a fashion more akin to stateless whistleblower site WikiLeaks than Silicon Valley-rooted Apple, which is in a stand-off with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Durov has spent years fending off intrusions into his users' communications, forging an uncompromising stance on privacy after founding popular site VKontakte, Russia's answer to Facebook, then losing control of it for refusing Russian government demands to block dissidents.
"We had a simple choice: Either betray our values or keep our values and leave Russia to try to do something new," he said in an interview on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Europe's largest annual technology conference.
Since leaving Russia in 2014 to set up Telegram, Durov and his core team of 15 developers have become perpetual migrants, living only a few months at a time in any one location, starting in Berlin, then London, Silicon Valley, Finland and currently, Barcelona. The company is incorporated in multiple jurisdictions, including Britain.
Telegram, a tenth the size of Facebook-owned rival WhatsApp, has caught on in many corners of the globe including for a while with Islamic State as an ultra-secure way to quickly upload and share videos, texts and voice messages.
Authorities in China, Iran and Russia have threatened or taken action to block its service. Continuación...

Joe Jonas Will Guest Judge American Idol
American Idol just added Joe Jonas to the list of next seasons guest judges! Joe will join an ever growing list of judges including Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry and Shania Twain.
The show decided to replace Paula Abdul, who was too expensive to keep, with a list of killer guest judges. The guest judges will make each week very interesting to say the least!
Readers, what do you think of American Idol guest judges? Will it be more entertaining than having Paula Abdul?

As we embrace Gods providence, hardship, and more, we can move from infancy toward the fruitful maturity we were created to enjoy.
Now, this new edition of Spiritual Maturity includes a "For Reflections" section making it an ideal resource for both individual and group study.

This somewhat bedraggled Colt Single Action Army from 1905 chambers the .38 WCF, otherwise known as the .38-40. The true bore diameter of .38-40 arms runs around .401. Back when I was young and dumb, this old revolver was used to make up some potent 180 grain handloads that clocked up to 1200+ fps over the chronograph. Both gun and shooter survived and so that now it only sees mild factory equivalent cast lead handloads. Old published loading data though could make the .38-40 a real horse, suitable for most any reasonable handgun chore.
Colt Army Special from 1925 (top), chambered for .41 Long Colt. Bore diameter on this revolver actually measures .405. To picture the effectiveness of the now-obsolete .41 Long Colt cartridge, think .40 S&W with 200 grain lead bullets. (bottom) This mid-1970s Smith & Wesson Model 57 .41 Magnum offers a healthy dose of stomp to any target to which it is applied. Still a good choice for a sportsman, a shorter barrel might be the do-all and end-all of personal defense.
This early photo was an effort to be all "artistic" with a digital camera but shows an N-Frame Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum from 1980 (top) and his grandfather, a Model of 1926 .44 Special from 1931. The .44 Magnum represents all the power I personally want in a handgun. If even more is required then we're reaching for a rifle. The big ol' N-Frame .44 Special is one of my very favorite revolver and cartridge combinations.
The enormous, yet stately and elegant Colt New Service revolver is my very favorite Colt revolver model of all time. This New Service Model 1909 (top) chambers the .45 Colt. Built in 1910 it's still just as powerful, accurate, and useful today as it was over a century ago. Built like a brick outhouse, it'd be durable too but this one has an easy life these days though it sees range time with some regularity. Two old "Army buddies" from "over there," another Colt New Service, this time a Model 1917 and an N-Frame Smith & Wesson Model 1917. These chamber the .45 ACP, using clips or can use the convenient .45 Auto Rim cartridge without clips. The '17 Colt has seen holster time afield over the years. The more ratty-looking Smith & Wesson '17 that lived here before this one did as well. These revolvers are still really capable, some 96 years after they were produced. For home defense, these would still be first rate choices.
A .455 from across the pond
Speaking of manly in the extreme, a Webley Mark IV just exudes the manliness needed to police an empire. This revolver was turned out in 1899 and likely saw service in the Boar War as well as serving in some capacity in World War I. The revolver is fast and slick, having a double-action feel much like the New Service revolvers (seen above) and an excellent single-action trigger pull. The Webley top-break design has to be the fastest revolver of all to use with a speed loader. It's a very sensible design with outstanding ergonomics that have to be experienced to be appreciated. The .455 cartridge is a real short range thumper, flinging big-bore, heavy lead to as high as 750 fps. Think .45 ACP with 260-265 grain bullets. If it wasn't so stinking old, this one would do well as a self-defense choice. It fits N-Frame Smith & Wesson holsters perfectly.
I do love me some certain classic automatics, foremost being the 1911, the Hi-Power, and the entertaining Luger but I have a lot of enthusiasm for the revolver, medium and large sizes especially. Around here the stunted snubs are actually the least favorite of the breed. Anytime revolvers can be promoted, I'm your man.

The caddy had no noticeable symptoms of a bent rod. There was a de-carbon peformed on the vehicle by an expeirenced tech,so it's unlikely it was hydro-locked with top-eng. clean.

While the D300 is aimed at the serious enthusiast or semi-pro, the D3 is unashamedly a camera for professionals. It too uses a CMOS sensor, but this time it's a 12.1 megapixel unit of an unusual size. It measures 36.0 x 23.9mm, which is only a little smaller than the full frame size of 35mm film (36 x 24mm). This puts it in direct competition with Canon's full-frame professional cameras, the EOS-1D range and the EOS 5D. The sensor has a pixel pitch 15 percent larger than competitive cameras, gapless surface micro-lenses and advanced on-chip noise reduction, which should mean high-quality images under very low light levels are possible. The sensor enables an ISO range from 200-6400, expandable up to the equivalent of 25,600 (!) or down to 100. Nikon is calling the new sensor format the FX, indicating that the D3 will not be the only camera to use this size.
The D3 uses the same EXPEED image processor as the D300, with 14-bit A/D and 16-bit image processing. It also has the same new 51-Point autofocus system designed to acquire and track subjects' movement more accurately. The Scene Recognition System is "a radical new approach to calculating exposures and white balance", with a 1005-pixel RGB metering sensor modified to distinguish subjects' shape and position for improved auto exposure and Autofocus accuracy.
The camera's performance is extremely impressive. It can shoot at nine frames a second, which can be increased to 11fps in DX crop mode. Startup time is 0.12 seconds, and shutter delay is just 41 milliseconds. The D3 incorporates an all-new Nikon manufactured shutter unit tested to over 300,000 cycles. The shutter blades are constructed from a durable composite Kevlar and carbon fibre.
The full list of features is too long to go into here, but highlights include Live View on the 3-inch VGA LCD screen with 170-degree viewing angle, dual CompactFlash card slots, a fully environmentally sealed magnesium alloy body, and active D-Lighting and multiple picture control options in JPEG mode. It measures 159.5 x 157 x 87.5 mm and weight 1,240g.
Of course you don't get a camera like this for peanuts; the recommended retail price (body only) is £3399.99.

Russia is termed a democratic society because there are elections and, in theory, there is freedom of speech and the press, but in all too many cases those who stand for the rights of those in opposition to the government all too often wind up beaten into unconsciousness by unknown assailants. Lev Ponomaryov arrived home only to be greeted by thugs who beat him so bad he was sent to a hospital. Amnesty International once again called on President Medvedev to take a stand against this hooliganism which was spawned under the regime of Prime Minister Putin. Ponomaryov said bluntly: "I am firmly convinced that this was not a casual attack by hooligans but revenge."
Ponormaryov has been attending the trial of former Yukos head Mikhail Khodorkovsky who was imprisoned for daring to stand up to Putin. The human rights activist has also been meeting with representatives from Europe rights groups. This is not the first time he has been beaten and this is not the first time those who stand for human rights in Russia are beaten, and, in some cases like that of human rights lawyer, Stanislav Markelov they are killed.
President Medvedev was a lawyer who promised to respect human rights. He still has not carried out his promises.

Health crazes and diet trends may come and go but every so often there are advances in the nutrition and medical field that are true game changers. For decades, individuals diagnosed with Celiac disease were simply characterized with ghastly gastrointestinal problems, but with further research this multisystemic autoimmune disorder is now known to be caused by permanent intolerance to gluten, predominantly found in genetically susceptible individuals. Gluten is the main storage protein of wheat, rye and barley. While gluten is mainly found in foods, shockingly it is even an ingredient in everyday products such as medicines, vitamins, lip balms, play dough, toothpastes, and adhesives. Gluten wears many hats- it provides elasticity to dough, acts as a binder in many recipes, adds flavor and protein and lends that much beloved chewy texture to delicious baked goods. With the increasing prevalence of diagnoses of Celiac disease in America, the demand for gluten free products has skyrocketed; the food industry has strongly met those demands by putting out numerous gluten-free products, making the life of sensitive to gluten easier. But, those burdened by this disease are not the only ones scooping the gluten-free brownies off the shelf of your supermarket, health conscious individuals are buying them too. So should you reach for your inner gluten freedom as well?
Well, truth be told, the only incontrovertible evidence showing the benefits of a strict gluten-free diet have been a result of research investigating its effectiveness in individuals with gluten sensitivity or Celiac disease. These individuals, when introducing gluten into their diet for a prolonged period of time, have flattened villi in their small intestine, meaning they are unable to absorb many of the vitamins, minerals and nutrients that are necessary for optimal health. Including gluten in their diet leads to a slew of gastrointestinal problems and, more often than not, can cause iron-deficiency anemia, reduce bone mineral density and chronic fatigue, and that's only the beginning. Currently, the only scientifically proven treatment for Celiac disease is a strict lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet and after sticking to this diet for a few months, the villi of the small intestine return to normal and the signs and symptoms begin to disappear.
Gluten-free diets have also been put under the microscope as possible treatment options for individuals with autism, ADD/ADHD, and IBS. Some parents, doctors and researchers say that children with autism or Asperger's syndrome have shown mild to dramatic improvements in speech and/or behavior when following a gluten-free, casein-free (GFCF) diet. Also, while a gluten-free diet may alleviate some symptoms, it is not proven effective as the sole treatment option for ADD/ADHD and IBS, and it is best to consult your dietician and physician before completely removing gluten from you or your child's diet.
So what about the rest of us? Oprah eliminated gluten from her diet during her "21-day cleanse" and claimed astounding results, is she personally responsible for deeming gluten the latest dietary bad boy? While doctors estimate just 1% of the population have Celiac disease, marketers estimate that 15% to 25% of consumers want gluten-free foods. Why? Surprisingly, even if you don't have full-fledged gluten intolerance you still may be slightly sensitive to it, causing symptoms ranging from bloating and discomfort to rashes. So, if you think you and gluten don't mix, you may actually be right. However, the health craze may not even be gluten-related but rather a placebo effect. Gluten shunners may actually be feeling better and lose weight because they are consuming fewer processed and fast foods and reaching for healthier options like fruits, vegetables and certain whole grains. A high gluten diet may mean that you are over-consuming simple carbohydrates and sugars, two things that are digested quickly making you eat more often than you should, upping your caloric intake causing you to gain weight.
Clearly there is a fad aspect to the diet, but if it gets college kids off pizza, bagels and beer, in my opinion, the fad doesn't seem to be so bad. What we have learned is that what is more important than minimizing your gluten intake, is what you are replacing it with. A well-balanced diet full of whole grains, vegetables, fruits and lean protein will do the trick. And you have to be weary of gluten-free products. Many of them have an outrageously high fat content to compensate for the lack of flavor in gluten free products. Also, giving up too much gluten when you aren't gluten-sensitive may actually put you at risk for not getting enough vitamins, most commonly iron, calcium, fiber, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and folate, and decreasing bone mineral density.
But enough talk about gluten this and gluten-free that, what we all really want to know is which gluten-free products are best. And to save you from having to read a novel, I'm not going to list everything that gluten-sensitive people cannot eat, and rather the things they can. As I mentioned before, cutting out or reducing your gluten consumption has never been easier. Restaurants and bakeries have gluten free options on their menu, some have even devoted their entire menu to being gluten free, there seem to be more gluten-free products in your grocery store than not and gluten-free blogs are among the most visited on the internet. There are some things to be mindful of when choosing gluten-free foods, mainly fat content and fiber, so always check your nutrition labels on the packaging. Here is a little gluten-free cheat sheet to start you on the right foot and remember all fresh fruits, vegetables, fresh meats, fish and poultry (not breaded, battered or marinated) and most dairy products are gluten free!

Slum free India program. Report on the findings and recommendations of QUT BEE workshop to investigate strategies to deliver better outcomes
Kennedy, Rosemary J., Gudur, Swati, & Betts, Martin (2010) Slum free India program. Report on the findings and recommendations of QUT BEE workshop to investigate strategies to deliver better outcomes.
Published Version
As a result of a broad invitation extended by Professor Martin Betts, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering, to the community of interest at QUT, a cross-disciplinary collaborative workshop was conducted to contribute ideas about responding to the Government of India's urgent requirement to implement a program to re-house slum dwellers. This is a complex problem facing the Indian Ministry of Housing. Not only does the government aspire to eradicate existing slum conditions and to achieve tangible results within five years, but it must also ensure that slums do not form in the future. The workshop focused on technological innovation in construction to deliver transformation from the current unsanitary and overcrowded informal urban settlements to places that provide the economically weaker sections of Indian society with healthy, environmentally sustainable, economically viable mass housing that supports successful urban living. The workshop was conducted in two part process as follows: Initially, QUT academics from diverse fields shared current research and provided technical background to contextualise the challenge at a pre-workshop briefing session. This was followed by a one-day workshop during which participants worked intensively in multi-disciplinary groups through a series of exercises to develop innovative approaches to the complex problem of slum redevelopment. Dynamic, compressed work sessions, interspersed with cross-functional review and feedback by the whole group took place throughout the day. Reviews emphasised testing the concepts for their level of complexity, and likelihood of success. The two-stage workshop process achieved several objectives: Inspired a sense of shared purpose amongst a diverse group of academics Built participants' knowledge of each other's capacity Engaged multi disciplinary team in an innovative design research process Built participants' confidence in the collaborative process Demonstrated that collaborative problem solving can create solutions that represent transformative change. Developed a framework of how workable solutions might be developed for the program through follow up workshops and charrettes of a similar nature involving stakeholders drawn from the context of the slum housing program management.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has expressed confidence that Europe is on the right track, but says the situation needs to be resolved because global economic growth depends on it.
"I think what the Europeans have put together is certainly on the right track. There's a lot of work to be done and finish it and put it in place, and that's what they need to be concentrating on. And I think we're coming out of the G20 with them concentrating on doing that, and I think everybody knows the stakes are very high," the prime minister said in an interview with host Tom Clark on the new Global News political show, The West Block.
One of the accomplishments of last week's G20 meeting was to convince Greece's Prime Minister, George Papandreou, to abandon his plan to hold a national referendum before agreeing to terms of the trillion-euro debt-reduction plan and bailout package.
"You know, the last week's been quite eventful. We had what looked like a European plan. A week ago, October 27, they came out with a deal that certainly had the key elements necessary. And then to everybody's surprise the Greeks said, 'We're not really sure we're abiding by it. We're going to put it to a referendum instead.' Now it appears that's off, and we're back to implementing the plan," Mr. Harper said.
He also said the Italians are confident they can deal with their debt situation and put their financial house in order.
"There's been market uncertainty about that; we're seeing the spreads on Italian bonds start to rise. So the Italians specifically have asked the IMF to come in and provide, you know, monitor, provide surveillance, provide the confidence to the international markets that they are, in fact, on the right track, So I think that's a positive development," he said.
"But you know, look. Obviously, this problem has to be fixed. I don't think it's any secret. We've kind of been watching this in slow motion for a couple of years, and while I know it's complicated, I think everybody has been clear to the Europeans that this is really starting to affect global confidence and global growth and it simply must be resolved."
Europe may already be in a mild recession, the prime minister said. But he doesn't expect it will become a global one.
"The expert money is still not on a recession, and I have no reason to predict that either."
The U.S. is not in a recession, he said, but the uncertainty over the situation in Europe has affected job creation in growth in all the G20 countries.
"But most of them are still continuing to grow. Albeit at reduced rates. So that continues to be our expectation, and our plan has been based on the assumption we will grow, but we will grow slowly."
The prime minister got more personal towards the end of the interview, when Mr. Clark noted that he had achieved the ambition of a lifetime with a majority government.
"Obviously I'm pretty proud of the achievement. I would say, probably my even bigger ambition of a lifetime is the ambition that most families have, and that's to see my children grow up and be happy, and be productive citizens. And that's probably the thing that's my biggest ambition of a lifetime, but it's one we share with so many other families out there," he said.Report Typo/Error

Global Tax Alert (News from Transfer Pricing) | 20 December 2013
Georgia's Ministry of Finance issues transfer pricing instruction and documentation requirements
Executive summary
On 18 December 2013,Order N 423 of the Minister of Finance of Georgia enforced the Instruction "On Pricing International Controlled Transactions" (Instruction) which is pursuant to Articles 126-1291 of the Tax Code of Georgia (Tax Code). The Instruction clarifies transfer pricing principals set forth in the Tax Code.
Although general transfer pricing rules have been in the Tax Code since 1997, specific transfer pricing provisions were introduced to the Tax Code only in 2011. The rules generally follow the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) principles. However, the rules were not enforced in practice as their implementation was dependent on the instruction of the Minister of Finance. Finally, the Instruction has been published. The Instruction also introduces contemporaneous transfer pricing documentation requirements in Georgia.
This Alert outlines key provisions of the Instruction concerning the scope of transactions subject to Georgian transfer pricing rules, acceptable transfer pricing methods, comparability criteria, information sources, arm's length range, procedure for advance pricing agreements, transfer pricing documentation requirements and other procedural issues. It also outlines actions necessary for those companies which do business in Georgia.
Detailed discussion
Controlled transactions
Georgian transfer pricing rules are applicable to cross border transactions between a Georgian resident company and a foreign company which is a related party or a resident of an offshore/law tax jurisdiction as per the list defined by the Government of Georgia.
For transfer pricing purposes, two persons are related if:
- • One person is directly or indirectly involved in the management or control of another person, or directly or indirectly holds the capital of this person; or
- • Same persons are directly or indirectly involved in the management or control of two other persons, or directly or indirectly hold the capital of those other persons.
A person is regarded as being involved directly or indirectly in management, control or capital if:
- • It holds directly or indirectly more than 50% of enterprise;
- • It practically takes control over business decisions.
The Instruction clarifies what "practical control over business decisions" means:
- • A person holds or can control a majority of the voting rights in a company;
- • A person can control the composition of the board of directors;
- • A person holds 50% or more shares in profits of the enterprise;
- • The total amount of loans granted by a person to an enterprise and loans of that enterprise guaranteed by the person is greater than 50% of the enterprises' total assets' value;
- • An enterprise is owned or carried on by a relative of the person;
- • Control over business decisions of the enterprise is otherwise evidenced by the facts and circumstances.
Transfer pricing methods
Georgian transfer pricing rules provide for five methods similar to those recommended by the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines:
- • Comparable uncontrolled price method
- • Resale price method
- • Cost plus method
- • Net profit margin method
- • Profit split method.
Generally, the "best method" rule should apply. However, the comparable uncontrolled price method will have the priority. Additionally, the first three methods (comparable uncontrolled price, resale price and cost plus) are preferred over the last two methods (net profit margin and profit split).
It is also permissible to use some other method if none of the approved methods can provide reliable results and such other method yields a result consistent with that which would be achieved by independent enterprises engaging in comparable uncontrolled transactions under comparable circumstances. In such cases a taxpayer shall bear the burden of demonstrating that the above requirements have been satisfied.
When applying transfer pricing methods, the Instruction allows analysis of certain controlled transactions in combination (i.e., on an aggregated basis) in case these transactions are carried out under the same or similar circumstances and are economically closely linked to one another in a way that cannot reliably be analyzed separately.
Sources of information
In determining market prices both taxpayers and the Georgian Revenue Service may use internal or external comparables, dependent on whether or not the parties of the controlled transaction have comparable transactions with third parties.
An external comparable may be relied upon only after comparability adjustments, if relevant, and only to the extent that such comparable does not represent a tax secret. The application of foreign comparables will be acceptable due to lack of information sources within Georgia, but the impact of geographic differences and other factors need to be analyzed, and, where appropriate, comparability adjustments to be made in accordance with the Instruction.
Arm's length range
Instruction provides that an interquartile range of comparable prices or margins will be used in order to determine the arm's length range of prices (margins). Where the relevant financial indicator derived from a tested transaction falls outside the arm's length range, the tax authorities can make an adjustment to the taxable profits of a Georgian enterprise. The adjustment shall be to the median of the arm's length range unless the facts and circumstances clearly support an adjustment to a different point within the arm's length range.
Services and intellectual property
The Instruction stipulates special provisions for application of the arm's length principle to service transactions and transactions involving intangible property. Interestingly, the Instruction provides that a service charge for a controlled transaction shall be considered consistent with the arm's length principle where:
- • It is charged for a service that is actually rendered;
- • The service provides, or when rendered was expected to provide, the recipient with economic or commercial value to enhance its commercial position;
- • It is charged for a service that an independent enterprise in comparable circumstances would have been willing to pay for if performed for it by an independent enterprise, or would have performed in-house for itself; and
- • Its amount corresponds to that which would have been agreed between independent enterprises for comparable services in comparable circumstances.
Further, the Instruction appears to accept the cost allocation principles where services are rendered by an enterprise jointly to various associated enterprises and it is not possible to identify specific services provided to each of them – in this case, the Instruction states that the total service charge shall be allocated among the associated enterprises that benefit or expect to benefit from the services according to reasonable allocation criteria.
Transfer pricing documentation
A taxpayer should maintain contemporaneous transfer pricing documentation and present such documentation to the tax authorities upon their written request within 30 calendar days. The documentation does not have any predefined format, rather it should contain the following types of information:
- • Overview of the business operations of the Georgian enterprise
- • Analysis of the economic factors affecting the prices
- • Organizational structure
- • Description of the controlled transactions
- • Analysis of the comparability factors
- • Details of the group's transfer pricing policy
- • Transfer pricing method applied and reasons for selection of a particular method
- • Comparability analysis
- • Details of advance pricing agreements relevant to the controlled transaction (if any)
- • Conclusion on compliance with the arm's length principle, and, where relevant, on adjustments made by the Georgian enterprise to its transfer prices/taxable income
- • Other information that may have a material effect on the determination compliance with the arm's length principle
Transfer pricing documentation can be submitted in Georgian or English language. However, whenever the documentation is submitted in English, tax authorities may request Georgian translation to be arranged by a taxpayer.
The question remains as to what is the first calendar year to be covered by the new transfer pricing documentation requirements. Based on informal discussions with the tax authorities, it appears that the first year for which documentation would be requested is 2014. Nevertheless, in view of the fact that (a) the arm's length principle has been in the Tax Code of Georgia since 2011, and (b) transfer pricing documentation is required to be contemporaneous, it is possible that transfer pricing documentation might be requested also for earlier years, i.e., 2011-2013. Additionally, one cannot exclude that the tax authorities may start applying the procedures outlined in the Instruction when auditing transfer pricing positions of Georgian taxpayers for previous years.
Generally, taxpayers are expected to conduct economic analysis using the benchmarks relevant to the financial year in which controlled transactions occurred. However, where required information is not available, taxpayers are allowed to use the benchmarking data for the years preceding the year of their transaction, but not more than four years prior to the financial year in which the tested transaction took place.
Taxpayers with a turnover of less than GEL 8 million (about USD 5 million) could update economic analysis based on external comparables every third year, provided there have been no material changes to business and economic circumstances.
No specific penalties are defined for failure to submit or incomplete transfer pricing documentation. The standard penalties for underreporting of tax will apply if the tax authorities re-assess the amount of taxable profit of the Georgian enterprise.
Advance Pricing Agreement
A taxpayer may apply to the Georgian tax authorities with the request to conclude a unilateral Advance Pricing Agreement (APA). An APA can be issued with respect to one or several controlled transactions provided that they are expected to exceed GEL 50 million (about USD 30 million). Application for APA shall be filed in advance, i.e., before commencement of a transaction. An APA will be valid for a period up to three years. Before filing the application a taxpayer is allowed to request a preliminary meeting with the Revenue Service.
If a taxpayer violates the terms or critical assumptions set in the APA, the agreement can be revised, terminated or annulled.
The Instruction and the Tax Code also refer to a possibility of conclusion of a bilateral or a multilateral APA. Procedures related to such APAs may differ from those outlined for a unilateral APA. Further clarifications regarding the details and the way of application for a bilateral or a multilateral APA may follow from the Georgian Competent Authority.
Avoidance of double taxation
Taxpayers will have the right to obtain a corresponding adjustment upon written request filed to the Georgian Revenue Service. The request must include the information necessary for the Revenue Service to examine consistency of the adjustment with the arm's length principle. The Revenue Service could reject a taxpayer's request in part; such rejection decision, if any, must be supported in writing or electronically. The Revenue Service shall make decision on adjustment within six months from the filing of application and supporting documents thereof.
Finally, subject to the provisions of the applicable tax treaty, where a Georgian enterprise becomes aware that the actions of the Georgian Competent Authority or a tax treaty partner will result in taxation not in accordance with the provisions of the relevant tax treaty, the Georgian enterprise may present the case to the Georgian Competent Authority and request that the case be resolved by mutual agreement procedure. Detailed procedure regarding the mutual agreement procedure is further expected.
Action required
Companies with businesses in Georgia are encouraged to review their intercompany transactions with their Georgian enterprises and to prepare contemporaneous transfer pricing documentation. It is possible that transfer pricing documentation may be requested already starting 2014.
Future Alerts will cover developments regarding Georgian transfer pricing rules.

Catholicism alleges that Mary remained a virgin perpetually. She did not (Matthew 1:25; 12:46; 13:55-56; John 2:12). The notion that virginity is somehow a holier state than a godly marriage reflects a misguided perception that is contrary to the explicit testimony of the New Testament (1 Timothy 4:1ff; Hebrews 13:4).
Catholics maintain that Mary was conceived immaculately, i.e., free from original sin, and that she remained sinless forever. The dogma is not true. First, no one is born with original sin(Ezekiel 18:20). Second, Mary confessed her need of a Savior (Luke 1:47), thus acknowledging her sinfulness.
Catholicism alleges that when Mary died, her body experienced no corruption; rather, three days following her demise, she was taken bodily into heaven, there to be crowned Queen of Heaven. Though Catholic writers concede that this teaching cannot be proved from the Bible, it became official dogma (that Catholics must believe) on November 1, 1950 far too late to be apostolic in origin.
Catholic doctrine teaches that Mary is a Mediatrix, between
Christians and Christ, and that she is the dispenser of graces by the power of the Holy Spirit based upon the merits of her crucified Son. No such position is sanctioned in the New Testament. Christ is the one mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5).
The Roman Church also advocates the notion that Mary is a co-redeemer with Christ. Such an assertion is blasphemous. Jesus is the exclusive way to the Father (John 14:6; cf. Acts 4:11-12).

It just shows what determination to be the best can do.
#290 Jul 10, 2013
]I asked Mark this and I would like your input also. Concerning the links I posted of the nuns that were black veil brides in the Catholic covenants, does the church condone this. According to their reports they were tortured and raped by priests and older nuns. We know the church condones Opus Dei and the practice of corporal mortification. Do they practice suffering as preparation of sorts for the purification of their soul? Can you tell me, specifically if the covenant abuse was sanctioned by the church and if not, what they did about it?
United States
#291 Jul 10, 2013
From the CCC:#2839384
"It is God's wish that Convents be set up to gratify the sexual gratification of all priests and old nuns. "
As for as corporal mortification all you have to do is re-watch the Da Vinci Code movie and you and find out again everything you need to know.
Pure ignorance.
#292 Jul 10, 2013
I have never watched the Da Vinci Code. Opus Dei does practice corporal mortification and that is easily verified. I am surprised you would be this dishonest, rather than dodging the question. Just convinces me even more that the rest is true.

#294 Jul 10, 2013
As in the usual Catholic tradition they exerted two answers.
Q: Why do Opus Dei numeraries do "corporal mortification," using the discipline and the cilice?
Finnerty: "I would say that the idea of making small sacrifices is something that is still very much a part of the life of the church, not just for members of Opus Dei. For example, during Lent, everyone is called to make some sort of sacrifices, such as giving up coffee or whatever ."
Escriva: "Ask Our Lord to help you to take a tough line with yourself, for love of him; to help you apply, with all naturalness, the purifying touch of mortification to everything you do.
"Christ gives us his risen life; he rises in us, if we become sharers in his cross and his death. We should love the cross, self-sacrifice and mortification."
#295 Jul 10, 2013
I imagine you have seen plenty of those type basements. Mine would be boring in comparison if I had a basement. Low end Protestant housing, you know the song and dance.
#296 Jul 10, 2013
I am extremely troubled by the dishonesty of the Catholic representatives on this forum. I would file a complain with the Pope but I am afraid his answer would be(We have no honest Catholics.) This confirms in my opinion the previous links of nun torture and rape by priests in the convents.
Numeraries also regularly practice acts of "corporal mortification" uncommon to most Catholics, which can include flagellating one's buttocks and wearing a spiked chain on one's thighs. Such acts are said to help bolster self-discipline and recall the suffering of Christ.
Official Sanction
As for influence, Opus Dei's founder and central message have been praised by many of the nation's top Catholic leaders, including the late archbishops of Chicago and New York, and the current archbishop of Washington, Cardinal James Hickey.
Support in Rome
Opus Dei's most significant support, though, may be found in Rome, and particularly with the pope's 1982 designation of personal prelature.
The status made Opus Dei's leader equivalent to the head of a religious order, though the organization remains subject to a certain measure of authority of local bishops and dioceses.
"That has a huge significance. The Vatican is saying,'you are totally unique,'" says Martin, the Jesuit priest. "It's highly unusual. It's a symbol of the high personal regard in which the pope holds Opus Dei.
United States
#297 Jul 10, 2013
Its an act of self-denial, of dying to self, that helps us grow in our spiritual life and become more Christ-like.
Jesus actually did command mortification - remember He said 'when you fast', not 'if'.
Fasting (deliberately eating less than you need) is a form of corporal mortification and it was commanded, not just suggested. And it goes beyong just accepting the suffering we're given, since not everyone will be reduced to genuine hunger and most of us in order to fast do have to voluntarily deprive ourselves.
Then you can consider St Paul saying "I pummel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be cast away" (1 Cor. 9:27).
Again that implies an active seeking out of mortification and not just accepting what God hands out. And this is in spite of the fact that Paul suffered plenty WITHOUT mortifying his own body!
From St Paul again:'Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church' Col 1:24
Christ commanded us, taking up our crosses (not just accepting them passively) and denying ourselves.

Of Opes Dei it is said (Numeraries also regularly practice acts of "corporal mortification" uncommon to most Catholics, which can include flagellating one's buttocks and wearing a spiked chain on one's thighs. Such acts are said to help bolster self-discipline and recall the suffering of Christ.}
So given that is true about Ope Dei, then torture chambers for nuns(Black Veil Brides) is a very real possibility. What say ye Mike? I am sure you know the truth. The question is will you acknowledge the truth?
