Cape Town – The Stormers are already on very dangerous ground if they are to stay in the running for an elusive Super Rugby title in 2014.
One win from four starts is their shaky return from the initial stages of ordinary season ... and they are only midway through their particularly daunting four-match overseas leg.
That is the Capetonians' precarious state after they failed to get anything out of their date against the Chiefs, the defending champions, in Hamilton on Friday: an unlikely come-from-behind win flickered at one stage before the enterprising Waikato outfit ran away with it in the dying stages for a 36-20 outcome and by five tries to two.
It is absolutely essential now that they bank at least one victory and probably also a bonus point or two as they shift onward to the Australian phase against the Brumbies and Reds respectively.
On the bright side, there is a welcome eight-day gap until the Canberra fixture next Saturday, which is a healthier situation than the six-day turnaround from the gut-wrenching Crusaders game to the latest and more clear-cut reverse.
When they move onward to Brisbane, it will also be with the knowledge that the Reds will just have made the gruelling trek back from their own two-match trip to South Africa, so hope springs eternal.
Give the embattled Stormers a bit of credit – they seemed ripe for a genuinely nasty beating when they slipped to 24-6 down shortly after the break at Waikato Stadium, and it was tempting to believe that subconsciously they might already turn their thoughts to some degree to throwing everything instead at the Aussie matches.
But they found some welcome, overdue front-foot rhythm as they were forced to break the shackles from their defensive obsession (it wasn't working too well anyway as the fluid Chiefs ran at them with real chutzpah) and register two easy-on-the-eye tries to dramatically narrow the gap for a while.
In that period of second-wind dominance, the infusion of substitutes like bristling No 8 Nizaam Carr and seasoned flyhalf Peter Grant made a big difference to their general oomph and their names must surely come into the starting reckoning for any wish to wipe the tour slate clean and finish strongly "across the ditch".
Grant still looks a bit cobwebbed from his less demanding, latest campaign in Japan, but at least he is more naturally suited to attacking the advantage line and being more physically geared than Demetri Catrakilis to do it.
The fairytale couldn't last, however, as the Stormers' desperation turned to fatal mistakes when they attacked from deep with the clock ticking down and the Mooloo Men cashed in to ensure a deserved full house of log points for the New Zealanders.
As the dust settled, the Stormers, who were unable to make skipper Jean de Villiers's 100th appearance a memorable one, will have chewed on the reality that they are leaving themselves plenty to do to make the cut for the six-team finals series later in the season.
They are in a reasonably similar situation to last season, when they lost their first two matches – local derbies away to the Bulls and Sharks – to immediately go onto the back foot.
Now with one win from four, it is also going to be a white-knuckle ride – if even that? – to make the cut, considering that in 2013 a total of 10 wins was the minimum requirement for teams to get into the last six.
The Stormers ended with nine victories last year, finishing seventh overall to be "best of the rest" for the relatively little it mattered.
Go and do the pretty easy maths: with 12 ordinary-season games remaining, De Villiers's side will have to prevail in nine of them from here if the 2013 qualification model is to be relevant once more.
There will be even less margin for error during the all-SA run-in for them if they slip up further in Australia.
"I really enjoyed that attacking intent (when they showed it)," said SuperSport critic and former All Black coach John Mitchell. "Now why can't they do it from the start of games?"
It is something for Allister Coetzee and company to think about ...

As promised, Taylor Lautner's new Funny or Die video premiered on Wednesday, and it was totally worth the wait. The clip shows the 19-year-old in an NFL-inspired parody of the classic sports movie 'Field of Dreams.'
The video is a trailer for a new movie called 'Field of Dreams 2: NFL Lockout,' in which Taylor plays the main character. The clip spoofs the iconic line from the original baseball-themed flick in which a mysterious voice says: "If you build it, they will come."
Taylor decides "it" means a football field, which he creates by making bleachers, goal posts and a 100-yard space in his corn field. Sure enough, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, Atlanta Falcon tight end Tony Gonzalez and many more show up to play in the "National Corn League."
Earlier this year, an NFL labor dispute led team owners to lock out players, jeopardizing the 2011-2012 football season. Lawyers for the league and the players' association are currently negotiating the terms of a collective bargaining agreement that could end the lockout.
Check out the full Funny or Die video and let us know what you think of it in the comments. Oh, you can also take a look at how it all came together in the behind-the-scenes clip below.

text: hello everybody, im new to the site here. having a hard time deciding what equipment would be best to start out with. i already own a 3/4 ton single cab truck with a service body on it that has exactly a 48" wide bed inside, so hypothetically if i wanted to put a mower in the bed without a trailer it would have to be a 46 inch cut or less. I also own a 6x10 utility trailer, but its kinda hard to keep it stored at night at a convenient place until i can afford storage fees. i could keep it at my house but its really cramped here. Anyways my friend who is already in the lawn business suggested a 34 inch zero turn such as the encore or gravely for getting through narrow gates, gravely is way better built but also way more expensive. my thoughts have kinda been that if im paying 5500 dollars for a mower then it needs to be bigger than a 34, plus the fact that those little mowers dont do well on ditches and steep slopes worries me also. the gravely pro stance 34 looks like it may be a better option since it handles the slopes better, however it only comes in a fixed deck design, and its still only 34 inches wide. 34 inches wide might not be that bad though since i am just starting out. im kinda lost thinking about all this since theres so many options. anybody have any helpful advice?

The most fundamental function of l-carnitine weight loss in the human body is to regulate the oxidation of fats or burning of fats. For oxidation of fats, this l-carnitine transports the fats to the mitochondria of cells. The mitochondria act as the fat furnace which burns out the body fats. The fact is that, it is only the mitochondria of cell that burn fats, not other part of cell do that function. Many researches and studies have determined and proved the effectiveness of the l-carnitine weight loss for fat burning. Also, along with fat burning capability, if done with the balanced diet it gives the optimum results. The balanced diet includes adequate amount of proteins, fiber, vitamins and essential fats.
Knowing more about l-carnitine, our body itself makes some small amount of l-carnitine. For making l-carnitine, our body uses amino acids, lysine and methionine and vitamins which include vitamin C, vitamin B6 and niacin. Your body should contain plenty of these nutrients as any kind of shortage of these nutrients may cause the lower carnitine level and reduce the fat burning process. Also, lysine a type of amino acid is a precursor that has been shown to boost the level of carnitine. However, the bad news for strict vegetarians is that they either get too little amount of carnitine or no amount at all.
Now, as we all know how the body makes l-carnitine lets talk about some of the sources of l-carnitine in our common diets. The predominant source of l-carnitine is meat and animal products. The highest amount can be found in red meat. Along with that, chicken and turkey also contain certain amount of carnitine. The milk products or dairy products contain very little amount and all the fruits and vegetables or grains contain no carnitine at all.
Before intaking this l-carnitine weight loss, it is advised to consult to the doctor first. However, for average people, you can start with taking at least 1000 mg of L-Carnitine per day. And, the people with the overweight problem can start with 2000 mg per day. Also, if you are suffering from metabolic resistance, you can consume as much as 3000-5000 per day.
The researches and studies have shown that, if you feel getting more energy, then your level of carnitine has been raised up. This will certainly boost you up in exercise or sports and increase the rate of fat loss. However, it is essential to take the healthy and balanced diet when you are consuming l-carnitine weight loss capsules. Thus, it is advised to have proper management in diet plan, you can even refer to the weight loss for idiots if you need any kind of help to chose good diet plan.

Here is an excerpt from a King of Prussia Courier article written in the early 1970s when the King of Prussia Antique Shop was threatened by Mobile Oil.
In 1959 the King of Prussia Historical Society conducted an exhaustive study of the old buildings remaining in the township. It found 256 sites and buildings known to be in existence before 1850. Of that number, the society designated 35 as being of "prime importance to the community" from a historical and architectural standpoint.
……Gone are the Coates family home in King Manor which was built about 1775 and the Abrams homestead dating even earlier, now covered by Hamlet Mews. Gone also from Mancill rd are the grist mill and blacksmith shop associated with Revolutionary War financier Robert Morris. In the same vicinity, near the Schuylkill River, the Catfish Dam Lock House fell to the wrecker's hand. The Pechin farmhouse, which weathered two and a half centuries of N. Gulph rd, was a victim of the Valley Forge interchange of the turnpike. The demise of the Steward Fund Hall and the Union School master's Quarters which stood at the corner of Allendale and Dekalb pike…
…According to Marjorie McKaig, who has served as an officer on both the historical society and the UM Park and Historic Foundation, "There has been a lot of loss. Upper Merion lost open space and historical sites because the citizens did not vocalize their interest to the local government."
…. Since 1971 the supervisors have purchased the historic estate on Morris rd, and maintained it as the Community Center and have made donations totaling $9,000 for the restoration of the King of Prussia Inn.
Next Saturday, March 11, you can hear more about "These Old Houses" and others during our monthly program. Please join us at 2:00 pm at Christ Church (Old Swedes).

My favorite event of the year! I put the tools down, slap off the dust, and open the doors 11-5pm for three days of blissful meeting and sharing.
Here's a link for more info on the tour.
This year, I'm introducing Lumenwave, a disassemble-able cedar laminate framework for a greenhouse, tea house, treehouse, office, studio, guest bedroom, or a free-form space for yoga, meditation, massage, relaxing, or...?
Maybe it's a greenhouse in the spring, a guest bedroom in the summer, a private retreat space in the fall and winter.
I see every Lumenwave being a unique combination of size, surface materials, and arrangements of doors, windows and interior play. Multi-layer clear and translucent panels allow for extraordinary, UV-protected light transmission, making them ideal growing spaces for plants and humans alike.

text: husband and I are old. He is a wonderful man and very softspoken. He has a hearing deficit that requires a hearing and he has one with no intention of getting a 2nd one. That's his choice. About a month ago husband said to me "you really talk too loudly". He has repeated that more than once since then and when I replied "I must have gotten into that habit with-o realizing it in order to make sure you hear me." His response was "No, you have always been loud." Now, I'm trying to figure out if it is true how to change it. I honestly don't think I have "always been loud" beause I have always been well received by people and used to have alot of friends...someone would have said something. So how do I find out? I don't have close friends around anymore. My relatives would tell me I'm "perfect", lol. I'd hate to think I am received as loud by the world. That's not good! DDD

Pretty frickin awesome, eh?
As I am want to do, I moved the 'Cheyenne Sky' to a much more prominent location in the summer, banking on it putting on a damn good show for years to come.
Now we wait to see how the OG actually grows and evolves.
From a quick browsing session on the Internet, this warm season grass looks like it has outstanding blue/green color from mid spring until summer and then gets that outstanding color, or some similar version of it, by July/August. Also, with a max size of about '3 x 2', this one will be easily added to multiple new locations throughout the yard.
Yet another Panicum that appears to be a must-have.

Not in the Mood? Have Some Watermelon
Have you or your honey been less than excited to get busy lately? If so, don't start popping Cialis or Levitra pills just yet. A quick trip to the produce aisle or your local farmers' market to pick up some juicy, sweet watermelon could do the trick, and no, this is not a joke! Researchers at Texas A&M are reporting that the ingredient in watermelon known as citrulline may help to increase a person's libido. When you consume watermelon, citrulline is converted to arginine, which is an amino acid that benefits your heart and circulatory system. Arganine also boosts levels of nitric oxide in your body, which helps to relax blood vessels, much like Viagra does. Consuming this fruit may even prevent erectile dysfunction. It seems that the rind has higher concentrations of citrulline, so scientists are working on developing a variety of watermelon that has higher concentrations in the pink fleshy part.
I'm in full support of anything that puts you in the mood for love so have a slice (or 12) of watermelon this holiday weekend! Enjoy!

If you live a life bound by honor, what happens when your loyalty challenges your honor? In December 2013, we watched a group of men fight with honor, because of their loyalty.
Directing this 118 minute action/adventure/fantasy is Carl Rinsch.
Making their way through this fantasy is: Keanu Reeves as Kai, Hiroyuki Sanada as Oishi, Ko Shibasaki as Mika, Min Tanaka as Lord Asano, Rinko Kikuchi as Witch, Tadanobu Asano as Lord Kira, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Shogun Tsunayoshi, Neil Fingleton as Lovecraftian Samurai and Ron Bottitta as Narrator. With an appearance by Rick Genest as Savage.
During a visit from Shogun Tokugawa and Lord Kira, things start to fall apart for Lord Asano. Events continue to spiral out of control, leading to the death of Lord Asano, and branding samurai leader Oishi and his men Ronin (a samurai without a master). Oishi knows all of this is Lord Kira's doing, but the Shogun has forbid any vengeance. Lord Kira kicks out all of the Ronin and plans to claim Lord Asano's land as his own by marrying Mika. Scattered and lost, the Ronin don't know what to do, but Oishi has a plan.
Ever since I saw the first trailer I was stoked to see this movie. I waited for the release of the film, it finally hit and... I wasn't disappointed. It's a fictional story about a real group of samurai that avenged their master's death back in the 18th-century. So, the storyline is simple, revenge, but the playthrough is really good. Between the clean looking special effects and the cinematography, it makes for a highly entertaining movie. The cast did good job, Reeves still runs a little tight and cold with his acting but if you're a Reeves fan, he did great. Kai's back story is a little odd, and not completely fitting the rest of the film, but they did a good job tying it together with the main storyline. Now, yes this has lots of sword play and fighting, but don't expect to see the blood flow, they kept it very clean. I have to say, I didn't mind the lack of blood flowing. Overall, it was a cool film that didn't need a bunch of blood to make it cool.
It's rated PG-13 for violence.
Their master would have been proud, 4 stars.

Skip to comments.COULTER: LEWINSKY VANITY FAIR ARTICLE 'DOES NOT HELP' HILLARY, DESPITE MEDIA VIEW
Posted on 05/11/2014 1:52:03 AM PDT by kingattax
On Saturdays Justice w/ Judge Jeanine on the Fox News Channel, conservative commentator Ann Coulter, author of "Never Trust a Liberal Over 3-Especially a Republican," broke down the latest in the decades-old saga of Bill Clintons sexual indiscretions with intern Monica Lewinsky, which came in the form of an essay from Lewinsky that appears in the latest issue of Vanity Fair magazine.
Coulter speculated the timing of the piece was an effort to get the story out there, but in the long-run she dismissed the notion coming from some corners of the media that this would help former first lady Hillary Clintons presidential ambitions.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
The story was never about his teen unpaid girlfriend intern.
It was about the women, his state employee that he sent a state policeman after, and then exposed himself to, the rape, the actress, and much more.
Liberals in general and the press in particular see the world through a set of liberal-rose colored lenses. They dismiss and therefore do not see all that does not produce a positive view with whatever todays delusion is. The problem they have is that, although many non-liberals will fall for lies, enough will see reality with no distorting lens.
I guess the Kaptain Kangaroo suits are out of style now. She has the sideburns, but the mustache is a little thin in the center.
Hillary protected Bill, protected Obama on Benghazi, and Boko Haram. Protection of all for wrongdoing and against conservatives.
Which mosque does hillary attend?
Considering the Hillabeast went all in, and said it was all a "vast right wing conspiracy", yeah I'd say that this should be factored in when establishing her credibility and ability to be a leader.

Cheap and Cheerful Sunday
Porto Travel Blog› entry 4 of 5 › view all entries
Although we were good enough to finally drag ourselves out of bed in time for breakfast, we were rewarded with some pretty dreary weather. A bus tour of the city was the plan but we chose to postpone due to the weather. Instead, the boys relented to the girls need to shop and we found a local shopping centre. In one hour the boys walked around all four floors, twice .. and the girls only saw three shops. Thankfully, once we'd met back up the weather had improved and we jumped on the open top bus to tour the city. Pretty average as far as bus tours go but it was still a good way to scoot around and see the city and had we taken it as soon as we arrived in Porto, we probably would have known better than to go to the
Once the bus tour was over we crossed to the south side of the river again and went in search of "Cheap and Cheerful" lunch.
Eventually we came across a little outdoor restaurant with a short, cheap menu and being both tired and hungry, we resolved to give it a go. We were so glad we did. The house port we asked to sample was poured into glasses that would best be described as small mugs. The white port was great, so we asked about the cost of a bottle .. only 5 euros!! Bargain. Appetisers, a fantastic large feed and plenty of port wine for 4 people came to less than 50 euros. Cheap and Cheerful?
Before we headed out for the night we jumped on a boat and did a quick river cruise, checking out the six different bridges that span the Duoro river near the river mouth.
While looking for a "place with tub chairs" that we'd spotted earlier in the day we came across a more contemporary looking bar where we stopped for some beers and some completely rubbish white port. It need not be said that we only had one round to drink there. Moving on from there we passed the "place with tub chairs", it was completely packed and could not seat us for over an hour, so instead we worked towards the river and found an interesting little bar / restaurant which served roasted chorizo and other local stuff we didn't recognise and couldn't pronounce!! After dinner we went back to the "place with tub chairs". By now (about 11:30pm) it was pretty empty but we sat ourselves down and checked out the menu. It turns out it was a fancy port wine bar, with a huge selection of vintages. It was pretty late and we were trying to keep costs down so we opted to make our nightcap a 6 glass (each) sample of port wine!! The port was great and the service included olives and a presentation from the waiter giving a rundown on the type, character and history of each port we were sampling.

You need to stop looking at people on the outside because you never know on what a wonderful person you could be missing out on.
Tattoos are a sign that one is low class. That he does not aspire to have or be anything in life. Women with tattoos often have multiple abortions before contracting aids and having a nigger bastard child.

Tatttoos {I spell it with three tees deliberately to make a bold statement } are a beautiful expression of femininity…especially on chicks.

Last week, a mom in Alabama was awarded $16 million by a jury to compensate her for damage; they found the hospital "violated the standard of care for labor and delivery and participated in reckless misrepresentation of fact." Evidently, the hospital had a pattern of what the jury described as "Bait and switch". Of note was that they hospital's advertising touted waterbirth until At least July of 2015, even though water birth had been banned since January of 2013.
Waterbirth bans happen. In April of 2014 in response to one of the dumbest, most illogical opinions ever published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Allina hospitals banned waterbirths. At the time, I blogged about the controversy, writing,
Rebecca Dekker over at Evidence Based Birth does a really good job talking about the evidence to support (or not support) the practice of allowing women to labor in a tub and to give birth in the tub. I'm not going to reinvent the wheel, so go read it on her website. The upshot? This isn't an easy thing to study due to logistics and ethical standards, but it has been studied. It's been studied enough that the practice is considered safe throughout much of Europe. And guess what? Their water works the same there as it does here.
So, here's the problem: According to an archived copy of The MotherBaby Center's (really just Abbot Northwestern, an Allina Hospital) website from June 6th, 2014, waterbirth was still an option.
Despite the fact that there was ample media coverage of the waterbirth ban, this page is, essentially, the very same bait and switch that the Alabama hospital was sued over. Waterbirth is being actively marketed, but it is not available.
This is not OK. It isn't OK in Alabama, and it isn't OK here.
While it's true that Alabama ranks as one of the worst states in which to give birth in the US, with very poor outcomes for both moms and babies, cases like what this mom experienced happen all the time. As a doula, I have witnessed obstetric violence. I have been in the room as OBs told moms that if they didn't comply, their babies would die. I have seen moms get episiotomies even though they explicitly stated that they did not consent. Some of these cases happened at hospitals that otherwise had good cesarean rates. Many of these actually happened while a patient was under the care of Nurse Midwives. Backlash from the medical community in response to last week's verdict was severe; some doctors claimed that this verdict was not actually a victory for birthing families, but that hospitals would respond by caring even less about what her patients wanted and refusing even more obstetric choices. However, it's important to point out that it took one mom who knew her options and knew her rights to stand up.
As expectant parents, it's on your shoulders to take responsibility for making informed choices. Looking at a website and marketing is not making an informed choice. Staying blissfully unaware of the ins and outs of the maternity care system IS NOT assuming any responsibility for the outcome of your pregnancy and birth. You are the ones who need to ask questions. Put as much time researching your options as you spend researching cribs. Find out the difference between the different kinds of doctors and midwives that provide care. Look at freestanding birth centers. Tour hospitals and for heaven's sake– ASK QUESTIONS. If they say they have waterbirth, ask to know the average times they use it a month. They know. If you must, tell them that you want to make sure what they market is really available. And on the flip side, every single time something like the above happens, we need to make sure lots of people point it out and stay critical of it. Hold both marketing and maternity services to the highest standards. If nobody says anything, nothing will change.
In the MSP and surrounding communities, the voices of patients can and have produced profound change. And as much as I want to paint birth as a magical, shiny, unicorn-filled time, reality doesn't always match that. Let's talk about when it sucks, and when the places and people we trust create trauma, we need to raise our voices.
If you've seen a bait and switch in maternity care, I'd like to hear about it.

Though they might struggle interpreting text, those with dyslexia may be able to "read" problems and situations in ways that "normal" people would never think to.
A number of people who hold this view will gather to discuss a new theory for students with dyslexia at universities during the Dyslexia Summit in October at Chapman University.
Marked by troubles with word recognition, poor spelling and other decoding problems, dyslexia is a learning disability that causes a person great difficulty with reading despite being normal in all other faculties.
The Dyslexia Summit at Chapman will blend advocacy, scientific analysis and personal stories, ending with a panel on how universities can work better with students with dyslexia.
The conference is spearheaded by Chancellor Daniele Struppa, who has an interest in dyslexia. One of Struppa's first books was written with a partner who, while brilliant with numbers, was extremely dyslexic.
This inspired Struppa to look into the untapped potential people with dyslexia might have to offer universities.
Though it is commonly seen as a disability, there is an interest among those attending the conference in looking at the positives of being dyslexic.
Struppa says that one example is the possibility of heightened creativity. He explained that because the traditional means of learning and problem solving are closed to them, those with dyslexia often are forced to develop new, creative ways to approach problems.
"Suppose I ask you to open a door. You simply walk to the door, put your hand on the handle and open the door. But let's say I ask you to do it, but I tie your hands behind your back. This is going to force you to think of alternative ways to do it," Struppa said. "Now, let's say I've tied your hands behind your back and tied you to a chair. But maybe the chair has wheels. So now you can roll to the door and use your foot to pull the handle.
"Sometimes having a limitation added will, in fact, lead you to different ways of looking at the problem."
This all fits under what Struppa calls "cognitive diversity," the recognition that different people learn in different ways. Struppa says that universities should look at students with dyslexia as an asset, not just a group that needs accommodation. It may be that those students will see solutions to problems that "normal" students never would.
The Dyslexia Summit will be held at Chapman University on Oct. 23.
Struppa hopes that when the conference wraps up, Chapman will have an idea of how to not only better accommodate its students with dyslexia, but to seek them out as part of a stronger team of thinkers.

European Exploration and Colonization
Location 2
Christopher Columbus was a Spanish explorer who was the first of many explorers to travel to the Americas. He was actually sent by Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain, to search for an easier, more convenient route to India. On August 3, 1492 he set sail.
Christopher Columbus
The Spanish had three goals for exploration: God, Gold, and Glory. Hernando DeSoto was a very good example of that.
Hernando DeSoto
Vasco de Gama
Amerigo Vespucci
This served as a southern outpost of the British empire in North America. It was a British warning point for invaders and it established their presence in Georgia.
Hernando DeSoto came to this area in search for gold, but instead his men died of disease. These diseases spread to the Native Americans and they slowly died as well.Later his body was also found on the banks of the Mississippi River.
Fort King George
Vasco de Gama sailed around Africa and found the first trade route to the Orient by ocean. One of the arrows leading here goes slightly off-course. This is because Vasco de Gama's ship got lost in the Atlantic, bot with much luck he and his crew found thier way to the Cape of Good Hope.
"New World"
"Old World"
Columbus instead found himself here, in the Caribbean Islands. He had called the natives "Indians" because, at the time, he thought he had arrived on the shores of his planned destination, India. Columbus ended up returning three more times in later years to further explore the land.
Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian navigator and cartographer who lived from 1454 to 1512 A.D. He sailed along the coast of South America and was the first to develop a map that depicts the Americas as separate continents. Actually, he named America after the feminine form of his name.
Vasco de Gama was a Portuguese explorer. He lived from either 1460 or 1469 (it's unknown exactly when) to 1524 A.D. He also was the commander of the first ships to sail directly from Europe to India.

I'll rise at early morning hourAuthor: Wm. G. Schell
Tune: [I'll rise at early morning hour]
Published in 3 hymnals
1 I'll rise at early morning hour,
With first effulgent rays,
While nature's songsters in the bow'r,
Send up their Maker's praise;
I'll bow before my God so dear,
And tarry till my heart shall hear
The Spirit's witness sweet and clear:
"Without spot and blameless."
2 While proud in heart, at bright midday,
Can find no time for prayer,
My thoughts shall soar from earth away,
To heaven, bright and fair:
Around the fam'ly altar knelt,
My heart with gratitude will melt,
Till blest assurance shall be felt,
"Without spot and blameless."
3 And when the pleasant evening air
Is dusky with the night,
My soul shall turn to God in prayer,
In heaven's golden light;
I'll linger at the great white throne,
Until the thoughts of God are known,
And He shall claim me for His own,
"Without spot and blameless."
4 With God's approval on my soul
My body sinks to rest,
No doubts nor waves of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast;
And through the night that hand so mild
Protects from storms and billows wild
His helpless, trusting, loving child,
"Without spot and blameless."

The development pipeline within the office sector in Lagos is exceptionally strong, with reports stating that over 155,000sqm of office space will be coming onto the market within the next 24 months. But that's not all. Other sectors including hospitality/leisure and residential are expanding aggressively and it is creating dynamic mixed use regions in Africa's megacity.
Most of the mixed use space under construction is clustered in Victoria Island and Ikoyi. More specifically, Ozumba Mbadiwe and Kingsway Road. These two roads that serve as what can be described as nerve centers for the two regions already have relatively robust real estate offerings. However, as the list and map below demonstrates this will be growing even further.

These new developments bring exciting prospects to the future real estate market in the country. And with improved infrastructure as well as a focus on regeneration and refurbishment, these regions should be able to take private sector initiatives like the $6b Eko Atlantic head on.
In a face off between Ozumba and Kingsway Road? I think Kingsway Road wins. The developments are clustered closer together and each building's features will complement the other much better. Additionally, Ikoyi is already an exclusive location in Lagos and this will only boost that further. As Ozumba Mbadiwe is a much longer road, it will take much longer to fill up, however it will still remain a go-to mixed use destination.
What do you think?

The government of Rwanda has reacted to the recent apology contained in a statement authored by the Catholic Church apologizing on behalf of its members' complicity in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi noting that it (the apology) remains ambiguous and blurred on some issues.
The Ministry of Local Government (MINALOC) has issued a statement lauding the efforts by the Catholic Church to apologize on behalf of its members' complicity in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi but highlighted that the church did not distinctly come out on its position.
"Firstly, they apologize on behalf of people whose names are not mentioned and seem to free the church from the role it, as an institution, may have played during the genocide. Historic evidence suggests a different scenario from that," reads the statement in part.
"Secondly, it is sad that some priests declined to read the apology before Christians as expected which looked like they were against the act of apologizing," adds the statement.
The government has said that Vatican should also apologize based on severity of the mayhem and lauded the role of bishops in fighting against genocide ideology and assured that it will hold discussions with the Catholic Church enabling it to overcome its dark like all Rwandans have done in the past 22 years.
The Catholic Church in Rwanda apologized on behalf of its members for participating in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in a message meant to be read in all catholic churches across the country on Sunday 20th November. It has emerged that in some parishes in Kigali and Byumba dioceses the message was not read.
Following the apology, IBUKA, the umbrella organization of survivors of the 1994 genocide against Tutsi has hinted on possibilities of holding negotiations with Catholic Church to explore ways of how it can compensate genocide survivors.
MINALOC Statement in full
STATEMENT ON THE MESSAGE OF RWANDAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS KIGALI, 23 November 2016 — The Government of Rwanda notes the recent initiative of Rwanda's nine Catholic bishops to apologise, in a general manner, for some of the acts committed by some members of the Catholic Church during the Genocide against the Tutsi. This step is welcome, as individual expressions of remorse. However, its profound inadequacy only serves to highlight how far the Catholic Church still remains from a full and honest reckoning with its moral and legal responsibilities. First, as they apologise on behalf of a few unnamed individuals, the bishops appear to take the extraordinary step of exonerating the Catholic Church as a whole for any culpability in connection with the Genocide. Everything in the historical record contradicts this divisive claim. Second, it is regrettable that some priests apparently declined to read the bishops' message to parishioners as intended, thus disassociating themselves from even this mild expression of regret. Finally, given the scale of the crimes, there is ample justification for an apology from the Vatican, as has occurred repeatedly with other cases of lesser magnitude. The Government of Rwanda commends the bishops' points on the importance of combatting genocide ideology, and will continue to engage in an open and frank dialogue with Church leaders with a view towards encouraging the Catholic Church to face up to its own past without excuses or fear, just as Rwandans themselves have been doing over the past twenty-two years.

Google researcher Ivan Fratric has released details of a bug in Microsoft's browsing programs that would allow attackers to build websites that make the browsers spontaneously crash and even take control of your browser in some cases.
Mr. Fratric originally spotted and reported the bug to Microsoft back in November 2016, giving them a 90-day deadline to eliminate the error.
This week, the security researcher made the flaw public after Microsoft failed to meet the deadline.
The problem is found in Internet Explorer 11 and the Edge browser and arises because of the way both programs handle instructions to format some parts of web pages.
In a statement, Microsoft did not comment directly on the bug and its significance but said it had a "customer commitment to investigate reported security issues and proactively update impacted devices as soon as possible".

The installer named both of my Hoppers "Family Room" so now the Joey's can't easily tell one recover from the other - and which will get what timers (I certainly don't need PTAT on both) Can I get one or both of the hoppers renamed? Thanks in advance

by Cathy Leddy
originally published in the Akhal-Teke Quarterly, Issue 18, July 1999
As I believe I am almost recovered from almost 20 days on the go, I'll try to summarize what happened on our Teke trek around the western United States.
Tatyana Ryabova arrived in Seattle on April 15, late at night. Milena Stozsek (one of our intrepid translators) met her there and took her home to her house for the night. The next day (the 16th) they did some shopping, saw some of the sights and ended up at my place (Cascade Gold A-Ts in Snohomish) about 4:30 or 5:00.
By that time, Tedi Rae Paasch, Julie Manuele, Sofie Wohllaib, and Jude Vawter had arrived from as far away as the Oregon-California border with their horses. We had 16 Tekes here (pure and nonpure) and 5 half-breds.
Once everyone was settled in (and Tatyana had taken a nap) we headed out to the Space Needle for sightseeing and dinner. Tatyana said that "this is better than the Eiffel tower in France". (Just a little bit of home town pride here!) and we had a wonderful Northwest dinner by the lights of Seattle.
The next morning we got the grading going about 11:00 am and figured out exactly how to present the horses as we went. (Sue Waldock was a great help getting us ready for it). Tedi's mare Kitka (bred by Phil and Margot Case) was awarded an a-la-ja (braided neck rope) and Elite status.
Case's stallion Sentor, who is leased by Tedi Rae Paasch, was awarded Elite III status. The fillies Alyeshka (owned by Julie Manuele) and Anika (owned by Cascade Gold) were both awarded a-la-jas but were not graded because of their ages (they are full sisters by Astrachan out of Anastasia). The rest of the horses were pronounced very nice and Class 1 and appropriate comments were given.
That evening Tatyana said that she did not expect to see so many nice horses so quickly – to many grins and toasts. We ended the evening with a songfest (both Tatyana and Milena have lovely voices) and finally headed to bed. No doubt you will hear about KumByYa (no idea if it's spelled this way) for years to come – it was the only song all of us Americans knew.
The next morning (Sunday) everyone took their horses home and Milena, Tatyana and I headed to Idaho to grade the Nez Perce tribe's horses.
After a wonderful trip where I don't think Tatyana and Milena repeated a song (and I sang KumByYa and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) we arrived in Idaho, had a nice Mexican dinner with Milena's husband Carl and got ready for the next day. We arrived at the Nez Perce barns about 10:00 am or so and were quickly swept up into seeing one horse after another. We ended up looking at about 33 horses there – purebreds, non-pure and Appaloosa crosses.
The stallion Pieter was awarded a neck rope (a-la-ja) and Elite status, along with Goldika and Piroshka. The results aren't yet complete on the younger horses – but there were many very nice ones. Then Rudy brought out a gorgeous leopard Appy filly – a daughter of Mangus Colorado and an Appy mare. Tatyana immediately awarded her a neck rope and told Rudy that "this is the foundation mare for your breed". Rudy and his wife (unfortunately I have forgotten her name – a bad habit of mine) gave Tatyana a hand-beaded coin purse, a gorgeous turquoise ring and a photo of Rudy in his full regalia. Jessica Redheart (Rudy's assistant) also gave Tatyana some handmade dreamcatcher earrings. All in all, a very satisfying day. We then drove back to Seattle so Tatyana and Milena could sightsee the next day and I could take care of the Quarterly.
Wednesday, we flew to Denver, where Lucy Kester picked us up and drove us to Jas Shearer-McMahon's house. We arrived at Jas and Shannon's (Jas' husband) place and met Luda Ivanova, a friend of Jas' from Russia. We settled down for lots of talking and then it started to snow. And snow, and snow! By morning, we had no power and almost 18 inches of wet, clingy snow. No problem…Jas and Shannon outfitted us all with coats, boots and mittens and we graded horses in the snow. Astrachan, Fergon, Minorka II (also known as Manila), and Askhan (a colt owned by Lucy Kester) all were graded Elite and most received neck ropes – by this time, Tatyana was conserving neck ropes and actually ran out – she REALLY didn't expect this many nice horses! She also named a colt by Astrachan out of Kyra for Jas – Arkhan – born on the 16th. (see a photo of Arkhan on the Foals of 99 page). This means that all of Jas' purebreds received Elite status – a very nice comment on her breeding acumen. I will say now that I'm not exactly sure how all the non-purebreds did – Tatyana has promised to send us the full details – we saw so many horses she only had time for the full results on the purebreds! Watch the next newsletter for this information.
After we had dug out the next morning, we stopped at Sharon Saare's house and graded her three horses both Feja and Saarina were graded Elite, and I'm not quite sure about the gelding – Tatyana was definitely more interested in breeding stock than riding horses, but did say that he was a very nice horse. Understandable. We had a nice lunch and finally got going about 3:00 p.m. To make up time, we drove straight through to Texas – a big Thank You to Lucy Kester for lending us her GMC Yukon- much more comfortable than a little Subaru would have been (our alternate vehicle). As there were five of us, Jas, Milena, Tatyana, Luda and I, we were able to drive straight through to Texas in about 23 hours and met Tito Pontecorvo on the roadside on the way to his place. We immediately headed for his barn (who wants a shower when you can look at horses?) and had a quick peek before going to his house and freshening up. It was about 75 degrees in Texas, vs. snowing in Denver, so we dug out light clothes and went back to the barn. Tatyana graded the stallions that afternoon, and the colts, but I'm afraid I'll need a cheat sheet to remember who got what – just too many nice horses with similar names to try it by memory. We visited the mares and then headed out for a nice Mexican dinner after.
We graded the mares and fillies the next day, and once again, I can't remember who got what – I do remember a few mare's names, mainly because I particularly liked them – Darpa, Prima, Magnolia are the three I remember best. We took a nature walk (Tatyana is an avid scholar of anything to do with nature), and successfully avoided rattlers, fire ants and cactus. We got a rather late start that day too, as we headed for the local Wal-Mart to buy some shorts and more film. I really wish that I had taken a photo of Luda and Tatyana's faces when we first walked in – it was as if Heaven existed on Earth. It took a bit of work to get them out of there. After that, we Wal-Marted almost every day. We also got to watch most of the stallions under saddle and I personally was particularly impressed with the young stallion Helm. Watch out warmbloods!
The next morning we set out for Missouri and made stops in Dallas at the Dallas Aquarium and had a lovely picnic dinner on the shores of Lake Texoma (another Wal-Mart experience for our dinner). We drove all night long and reached St. James, Missouri around 9 am the next morning. Happily, we could check in to our rooms and freshen up and then we headed out for Martha Bowle's place to look at horses.
We headed out for Martha's place and got to meet all her horses, including a brand-new filly and a few days old colt. The colt was very friendly and seemed determined to climb into somebody's pocket! After a nice visiting session, we went back to the hotel and rested before other people started arriving.
By Thursday morning, Geldi Kiarizov and his wife Jula (not sure if that is spelled correctly), Tedi Rae Paasch and a few other people (my memory is gone!) went out for the grading. Appropriate comments were given, breeding suggestions were made and we then headed back to relax some more and greet arriving Teke fans. Scott Plowman (who gave a natural horsemanship demo) was there and entertained us all with his stand-up cowboy routines. Phil and Margot Case got in, Jude Vawter arrived, and Sharon Saare and Lucy Kester showed up all at approximately the same time. We got Tatyana and Luda into the swimming pool and hot tub with us (we had to check out the local Wal-Mart too!) and generally had a wonderful time visiting, catching up and doing our favorite thing – talking Teke. Other people were arriving also, but once again, my memory seems to be full of holes! Friday morning the ATAA business meeting got going and we covered quite a bit of ground before lunch time. I have to comment here on the quality of the food! Fabulous! Martha and her daughter Carol, did a spectacular job on feeding us. I'm still dreaming about the cherry and apple cobbler that Carol made. YUM!
After lunch, Dr. Deb Bennett gave us her talk on The History of World Bloodlines – it was a fascinating glimpse into how breeds evolve and who came from where. After Dr. Deb's talk, I can't remember if we had another talk or went right to dinner . After another fabulous dinner we had an evening session of "Smile with Melvin Johnson". It was great fun – I haven't laughed so hard in a long time and some very nice prizes were given out – Chris High won a very nice tent, and Julie Manuele went home with a hundred dollar bill. We finally headed back to the hotel around 10 p.m.
Tatyana was hard at work (along with Luda) on the grading results, which were to be announced the next day. Saturday morning we all admired several collections – April Pruente's saddle collection (and her yurt!) and Martha's photos and items from Turkmenistan.
We were also bidding on the Silent Auction items – there were many very nice items donated and the grand total ended up at around 1500 dollars.
Sharon Saare then started us off with her saddle fitting talk (this was part II – part I was given at the 97 Conference). Very excellent – I think everyone learned something new. Tatyana was to give her speech next, but there was some disagreement about the objectiveness of the translators, so she agreed to wait until different translators could be arranged for. Dr. Deb gave her other talks – Conformation of Use and Biomechanics and Collection after lunch and once again gave fascinating and insightful speeches.
At dinner, Geldi gave a speech – some very interesting subjects were brought up – it will be interesting to see what happens in the long run. After dinner, Tatyana started her talk about numbers of horses, which countries they were in, measurements, grades, etc. She and Geldi ended up in a spirited debate, (it seemed to me) not a personal one by any means, but a political one. The new translators did a wonderful job of keeping up and translating a rather passionate dialogue. Tatyana did not finish her talk, as it was getting late, so we adjourned until Sunday morning.
Sunday morning we had a short business meeting, announced the new board of directors for the ATAA, and then Tatyana presented certificates for the gradings and said again that we had many nice horses here in the US. We all were very happy and I, personally, feel that I learned a lot during the grading process. I was also impressed with Tatyana's wisdom, humor, and open-mindedness – she is truly a wonderful woman.
We then had speeches from Dr. Gus Cothran and Dr. John Steiner, on Blood-typing, Collection and Storing of Cooled Semen and Embryo Transfer, and the translator did a wonderful job -I'm sure he never realized he would need to know those words in Russian!
We had lunch and then adjourned to Green Acres for the Horse Show, where Geldi commented on the horses and presented some beautiful leads with lovely carpeted parts that went around the horse's neck (I'm sure there is some name for these, but I haven't a clue as to what that is). He presented one to Astrakhan, as the number one older stallion, and one to Goldika, as the number one older mare (Milena accepted that for the Nez Perce tribe). I understand he presented some other ones too, but I didn't see who to. He also presented one to Helm (I think it was Helm) at the horse show. I'm not entirely sure if Geldi considered him the best horse there, or what – maybe someone else knows this? We got to watch 5 of April Pruente's horses, with her stallion Kopeli under saddle, 5 (or 6) of Tito Pontecorvo's horses, with several under saddle, and 3 of Katrina O'Neal's horses, including 2 partbreds and her filly Kizmet. After the show, we headed back to the hotel, and then went to the sale barn for the production sale. Unfortunately, it was not well attended, and only one of the horses sold – the 2 year old filly Valentyna to Milena Stozsek and Jude Vawter.
After the sale, Scott got to do his demo back at Green Acres, and several of us went back to help clean up the Community Center. Then it was good-byes, hugs, and promises to "See you next year!".
It was a wonderful 20 days for me (although exhausting!). I met some of the nicest people imaginable, got to know Tatyana Ryabova, saw lovely horses, and generally had a fabulous time! I can't wait for the next time!

Today, the OECD predicted that Canada's economic growth will, by a wide margin, lead all G-7 countries this year.
We are not surprised. Just look at the facts.
- In January, GDP grew 0.6%, the biggest monthly increase since December 2006. Canada has now benefited from five consecutive months of economic growth.
- Also in January manufacturing sales rose, the seventh increase in eight months.
- In February, employment increased by nearly 21,000 jobs, lowering the unemployment rate to 8.2%. Since July 2009, Canada has created almost 160,000 new jobs.
- The global accounting firm KPMG has just ranked Canada the most competitive industrialized country for job creators.
- And according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, business confidence among Canada's small and medium-sized businesses is at its highest level in five years.
Canada's Economic Action Plan: creating jobs, fostering growth, investing in infrastructure.
Compare that to the Opposition's plan to raise the GST, impose a carbon tax, and hike job-killing business taxes.

in the whiskey color?
Coach - LEGACY LEATHER SHOULDER ZIP
Yup. Right after Christmas, the outlet near me had a few of those in an "as is" clearance bin. I passed them over for a shoulder bag.
OK, thanks.
That is my bag, it was the first to be sold out of all the bags in my Coach store they said...
You lucky duck. I don't supose it's realistic to put it on my wishlist then. Good for you for getting one!
Keep an eye on eBay, a month ago they had a whiskey shoulder zip and no one bought it.
Will do.
My Mom has this one.

Have you seen Barbie's beau, Ken these days? He's ditching his surfer stud roots and embracing his inner Millennial.
Barbie announced Tuesday that the revamped Ken will feature three new body types: tall, curvy and petite. In addition to body diversity, the company is adding eight contemporary hairstyle options that run the gamut from man bun to corn rows.
"By continuing to expand our product line, we are redefining what a Barbie or Ken doll looks like for this generation," said Lisa McKnight, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Barbie.
What this means for the consumer is that children will be able to play with a doll that looks more like them, or their dad, or their brother, or ANYBODY that they might know in real life, as opposed to the traditional Ken, who might be difficult to spot outside of Baywatch territory.
Ken's reboot comes on the heels of his mate Barbie's. Barbie got the Millennial treatment last year when Mattel launched the Fashionistas Line, of which the new Ken doll is a part.
Here's the rundown of the numbers on the new Ken doll:
15 new Kens
3 new body types
7 skin tones
8 hair colors
9 hairstyles
Ken's makeover isn't just skin deep, he's got a whole new line of duds, obviously inspired by hipsters with it's penchant for skinny cut pants and suits, not to mention flannel lumber jack chic.
While the inclusion of man buns and curvy Kens (some clever souls are calling this "man bod" Ken) into the Barbie reserves seems to have given the internet whiplash, who can say it isn't a positive change?
All we can say is, it's about time!

Brasher Towa GTX
The Towa is wide and roomy at the toe but quite narrow at the heel so it needs quite careful lacing to avoid toe-bang on descents. The tongue and ankle cuff are well padded and they feel great when you first pull them on. It's a chunky, rugged boot, with excellent heel and toe protection and a quite rigid midsole that carries a foot easily over rougher ground. The sole is a decent all-rounder and a Gore-Tex lining keeps water out. Against it, though, it does feel heavy, and it's also quite warm.
Sizes: UK 7-12 including half-sizes
Upper: 2.2mm suede/Cordura
Waterproof/breathable lining: Gore-Tex
Sole: Vibram Winkler
Weight per pair: 1,440g
Women's version available: Yes

A dialysis patient's guide to dealing with thirst this summer
- On June 27, 2014 /
- By davita /
- In Health Tips
- 0
As a patient on dialysis, June and July are the two most challenging months for you as you need to restrict fluid intake while dealing with thirst. Here are some suggestions for dealing with thirst while adhering to fluid restriction when you are on the dialysis diet (a diet low in sodium, phosphorus, protein, potassium and calcium).
- Ice chips melting slowly in your mouth can keep thirst at bay.
- For an added treat, freeze low-potassium fruit juices (like apple and grape juice) in ice trays and using them in place of ice chips for flavor from time to time.
- Snack on chilled or frozen fresh fruits that are low in potassium (like apple, grape, pineapple, plum) to help prevent thirst.
- Snack on small portions of gelatin to alleviate thirst.
- Use lemon or lime slices or cucumber slices in your water, which refreshes and stimulates saliva to relieve dry mouth.
- Enjoy sour candy, which works similarly to lemon and lime slices.
- Use mint or basil in foods and beverages to refresh your mouth.
- Avoid caffeine and salt as they can increase thirst.
Increased activity and physical exercise will cause you to sweat more during summers requiring you to change your fluid intake. Check with your doctor and dietician to ascertain how much fluid intake is good for your health.
How to make flavored ice cubes?
You can make flavored ice by freezing lemonade, apple juice, grape juice or tea in an ice cube tray. All you have to do is suck or munch on these delicious cubes, once ready, to chase away thirst without drinking.
