Jan 22 (Reuters) - Texas Instruments Inc on Tuesday posted quarterly revenue that was ahead of Wall Street expectations but the chip maker warned of weak demand.
TI, which makes chips for everything from industrial equipment to cars, said its profit fell to $264 million or 23 cents per share compared with $298 million or 25 cents per share in the year-ago quarter.
Revenue fell to $2.98 billion from $3.42 billion but was ahead of Wall Street expectations for $2.95 billion according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
On Dec. 10 the company had forecast fourth quarter revenue of $2.89 billion to $3.01 billion and earnings per share of 5 cents to 9 cents, including 21 cents per share of charges from its previously announced restructuring of its wireless business.
TI shares fell slightly in late trade after closing at $33.46 in the regular Nasdaq session.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Threats to Lux with this build
|Since your stun grabs the first thing it hits and whatever is behind it, you can camp behind your minions, snare her and burst her down. She'll have to use flash to avoid your ult as her mobility doesn't allow her to easily sidestep until late game with tier three boots.
Hi everyone! Thanks for taking the time to read through my build and guide to Lux. Lux is an incredibly bursty mid laner who is also an amazing support. If you build her right and play safe, you can pull off a match with 0 deaths. A fed Lux is probably the worst thing for your enemy team, as you will be able to QER them to death in one go at a very early point.
I will be posting videos of plays and things like that as soon as I can c:
This is a recent game I played as Lux which started well, got rocky when we hit 6, then went back to good by the end. Fizz was a huge challenge the entire match.
Pros / Cons
Long range
AoE burst ability
Slow and stun!
VERY long range ult, for sniping!
Low cooldown on ult
AoE shield
Squishy and slow
All skillshots
Mana hungry, even with mana regen
Kinda weak until mid game
Skill Sequence
I choose to take and max her E first for the early game damage. It combined with her passive Illumination gives you an easy wave clear early game that can give you a gold advantage and keep the minions away from your turret. Always take your snare second, as it can protect you from ganks and help you run away from your enemies. So long as you land it, you should be pretty hard to kill c: Grab your shield third, then max out your E for the cooldown and damage.
|Item Sequence
Warding Totem
Faerie Charm
Faerie Charm
Total Biscuit of Rejuvenation
Total Biscuit of Rejuvenation
Mana Potion
After much texting and experimenting, I determined these to be the best items to take on Lux. I prefer a double Faerie Charm to start for the greater base mana regen and the discount on your Chalice of Harmony for when you first back. It also means you can bring more pots with you when you start, which means longer in lane. It makes a world of difference and saves you a lot of gold. Granted, you don't have the bonus ability power or health for early game, and though Doran's Ring gives you mana for every minion you kill, I feel the double Faerie Charm to be more beneficial. Always go for Athene's Unholy Grail as your first item, since the mana regen and magic resist makes laning much easier for you. It also provides a hefty cooldown of 20%, which is amazing for her.
Rabadon's Deathcap is vital on just about every AP champ in LoL, as its passive gives you bonus ability power based off how much you currently have. This will scale with your build and make you a bursty nightmare late game. Void Staff is another vital item since the enemy team will start to build mr when they see you can two shot them, so this will help to ignore some of that resistance.
Sorcerer's Shoes are my go-to boots for almost any AP champ, as the bonus magic pen is amazing. Another option is Ionian Boots of Lucidity, which you shouldnot take if you are taking Morellonomicon! Too much cdr.
And now, you're probably wondering why Morellonomicon. I take this item late game to counter people who are heavy in sustain, such as Fiddlesticks. Its passive cripples healing effects when you attack them, applying a debuff. Plus, the bonus cdr and mana regen means you can pop your abilities like it's URF all over again! Not quite, but it seriously makes a difference and voids your Blue dependency.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter and Liandry's Torment are two slightly unnecessary items on Lux when you consider the other options, but can be good defensive/kill securing options. If you're having trouble sticking to an enemy to land your other spells, Rylai's Crystal Scepter provides a slow that can help solve that, whereas if you are having trouble with enemies getting away with 15 health, Liandry's Torment will give you that kill securing factor when your ult just can't quite reach them.
But why no Abyssal Mask? Because you're not in range that often. Let's face it, you're Lux. Lux is incredibly ranged and if you do find yourself that close to your enemies, then you're probably about to die. It's great on champs like Ahri (who practically lives off it), Fiddlesticks and so on, and I absolutely love it, but the AP and MR alone are not reason enough to take it over other options. I wouldn't recommend it.
Summoner Spells
As far as these go, Flash and Ignite are your best options. As Lux's snare is hard to land, Flash can get you out of tough situations easilty, while Ignite can lock in a kill and while you're running for your turret to B.
Other possible options to replace Ignite are:
Heal or Barrier
I would never take Teleport, though. Frankly, her sustain is good enough especially with this build, therefore you shouldn't have to B very often.
Early Game
When you start up, grab your items and head for jungle, to whichever buff your jungler is starting. If you're the first one there, wander around through the bushes around the buff to make sure they aren't camping it, then take position at river's mouth as a guard. Ward up when you're heading to lane, and focus only on last hitting minions. Try not to sit there and auto attack them, as it leaves you open to attacks and also pushes lane, which makes you an easy gank target. Try to poke down your enemy to force them back, but never go out of your way to do so unless you are 100% sure you're safe. If you can land your snare on your enemy laner and they're at half health or less, toss your E and ignite them, as it should be enough to kill them off. If not, they'll B and you have lane to yourself.
Because of your range, you should be able to safely farm for a long time, and B with over 1500g.
Mid Game
By now, you should have your turret down and safely roam to other lanes. Make sure before you leave that you've pushed the wave up past river and then wander around, assisting with kills and pushing turrets. Play safely and support your team as well with shields and snares, since you can really save them in a pinch.
Late-End Game
Stick to your team as you are very very squishy, especially now that the enemy team has close to their full build. Push objectives and be map aware, and never stop warding. Proper vision saves lives. You are not the champ to backdoor in those situations, so never be away from at least one teammate if you can avoid it. I usually stick to my top laner at this point, as they are nice and painful.

Bersin Associates, now a unit within Deloitte, wrote this in 2012: U.S. companies have increased leadership development spending 14 percent over 2011 levels to an estimated $13.6 billion in 2012.

Kromlech Greatcoat Up For Their Mysterious Preview
September 5, 2014 by dracs
Kromlech have come out with two new arm options for your greatcoat clad orcs, letting them carry whatever they want, especially if what they want happens to be grenades.
These cool greatcoat arms allow you a few more options and variations when it comes to kitting out your orcs.
However, it is a mysterious sneak peek that Kromlech have put out that has my attention…
Just what could this be? Some sort of orc war machine, surely, but that doesn't narrow it down much given what their minds can dream up. Is it some sort of primitive missile? Is it a giant grabby claw? Tell me Kromlech!
What do you think it is that Kromlech are hinting at?

We catch up with some of our #12NOW writers to find out what's been happening with them this month and what's in store.
Patricia Devlin-Hill
"The good news is that I have some time off work and am applying myself to getting some writing done. I've had a poem 'The Dog and The Woman' accepted for this year's Community Arts Partnership / LaVA Poetry in Motion publication. In terms of other activities, I'm going to Conor Maguire's Monologue class at the Crescent to improve my stage skills, and later this month, I will be heading to the writer's space in Downhill Beach House."
Peter Adair
"I was glad to make it to the first Purely Poetry open mic of 2017. It always helps to chat with other poets and realise I'm not a complete freak for needing to tinker with words. My reading was recorded, and that of fellow 12NOW poets Matthew Rice and Tory Campbell. This was a novel experience! I await my recording contract.
"I'm also pleased to have poems accepted for the forthcoming CAP Anthology, and was grateful for the instructive CAP workshop hosted by Paul Maddern. And I've had three poems in Reuben Wooley's ezine The Curly Mind."
Claire Savage
"I have a short story being published in The Ghastling – a journal based in Cardiff. It should be published this month. Other than that, I'm doing some readings in this year's Women Aloud NI events (though details of these won't be properly released until February), while I have news about my book over on my blog as usual. I've confirmed my first school visit to chat about Magical Masquerade – in February – so that will be my first public reading of it(!)."
Ross Thompson
"I was truly flattered to be asked to appear on this upcoming edition of The Arts Show on the BBC. The experience of recording was by turns exciting, nervy and surreal – it was fascinating to see the workings of how a television programme is put together, and at times I got lost in the buzz of that… then I would realise, "Oh, hold on a second… I'm here to read a poem on camera! What's my first line again? What if I fluff it? What if I rush the lines? What if the audience stare, aghast and agog, and think, 'Who is this joker?'? What if I fall off my stool and knock over that shelf of lovely bespoke ceramics? Aaargh.
"Mercifully, none of these things happened. I have to say that all of the production team were fantastic. They made all of the artists, each of whom were brilliant, feel welcome and at ease, and the recording ran smoothly. I won't say too much about the show itself but it has a fun, positive and celebratory atmosphere. It was a delight to be involved."
Olive Broderick
"Under a generous full moon – and with thanks to Down Arts Centre for a fabulous working space – this past few days have been, in a gentle, deep breathing kind of way, frankly amazing. I am trying to collect myself to go to the next phase of 'Knowing the Dance' my ACES project. It has been so wonderful to have had the chance to work with Sarah Warsop and to understand how her practice can work in the world of poetry; and with Paula Guzzanti – dancer / choreographer / researcher / poet / tai chi teacher extraordinaire. I'm also working on collaborative aspects. Sarah will be back to do an open session around September (date tbc) at the same time as our 'Knowing the Dance' performance launch, all happening at Down Arts Centre."
Olive will also be reading along with her Words for Castle Ward group at 'How Can Life Can Go?', a poetry and drama event for Holocaust Memorial Day. The event takes place on Saturday 28th January, 3.30pm at the Down Country Museum. The next 'Words for Castle Ward' group with be meeting on Saturday 11th February, which will be a session for new writing.
Matthew Rice
I'll be reviewing poets Mike Garry, Lemn Sissay and a musical interpretation of 'Death of a Naturalist', all at The Black Box, for The Monthly. I also had a poem in The Stony Thursday Book, which was released this month by the Limerick Arts Office, and was interviewed for Poems In Profile, which included my poem 'Lost'.


text: Running through the column is the assumption that tax cuts unpaired with spending cuts are a betrayal of tea-party principles and congressional Republicans' mandate. There's a longstanding debate among conservatives about whether we should push for tax cuts without spending cuts, and if so when. But it's simply not the case that most Republicans in 2010 campaigned on the idea that tax cuts should wait until deficits are reduced. And most of the polling suggests that tea partiers support tax cuts even in the absence of spending cuts. Their policy preferences and priorities may be wrong, but we ought to be clear on what they are.

Today is Women's Kabaddi Challenge Qualifier Round or you can say Semi Finals, the team Storm Queens wins continuous 2 game and reached to final round currently the team is at first position of Women's Points Table. The today's match is Ice Divas vs Fire Birds the winner of the game will enter into finals and play against Storm Queens.
Qualifier match is Do or Die Raid for Ice Divas and Fire Birds, after losing this match their is no hope for next match because it is the last match to qualify for finals. Now the main question is this which team is better and pretended to be qualify for finals, well its difficult to tell which team is better but the in first game when Fire Birds beat Ice Divas everyone was thinking that the Fire Birds is the amazing team but after that they never won a single match even Ice Divas beat Fire Birds by 10 Points and took her revenge back.
This is the only chance for Fire Birds to show their strength Kishori Shinde is the best player in Tackle and Mamta Poojari in Raids so Ritu and Payel Chowdhury also needs to cover next raids after Mamta Poojari whereas Abhilasha Mhatre and Monu are the defender and expert in taking Tackle Points well if you remember in last game against Fire Birds they took 4-4 points in tackle which make a huge gap between the points of Divas vs Birds.
Ice Divas seems more stronger team than Fire Birds but anything can happen in this game because both are going to play with full effort they know that no other option are available after this match so continue game at 9:00 PM at Star Gold.
Best of Luck !!!

I never ate granola pre-food allergy days. In fact, I do not think I even gave it a thought. But then, when food allergies hit and I had purchased about 5 new cookbooks, I started noticing that granola was in a lot of the books.
One that caught my eye was in The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook by Cybele Pascal. It seemed really easy. And I was intrigued by Cybele's use of unrefined sugar. I had never given sugar a thought before reading this cookbook. I knew that honey was an alternative sweetener, but I never realized that there were other sweeteners and other "granulated" sugars that were not refined. (More on this sugar business in a future post).
So I gave her granola recipe a try and I was hooked from the first batch. Here are ten reasons you should try and make your own granola even if you do not have food allergies.
- Granola really satisfies a sweet tooth.
- Granola is a great snack. (I usually end up eating it as an evening snack).
- Granola jazzes up a boring bowl of cold cereal like corn flakes.
- Using granola on top of your cold cereal eliminates the need to add sugar to your cereal.
- Making your own granola is far more affordable than buying granola.
- When making your own granola you can control the amount of sugar you put in it.
- You can pick and choose your favorite ingredients (or not use ones you are allergic to).
- It is something different for your palate.
- You can easily increase your fiber intake with the oats and sunflower seeds you may use.
- Add in dried fruits and you can add a serving of fruit to your day.
So even though I absolutely love Cybele's granola recipe as is in The Whole Foods Allergy Cookbook, I have adapted it by changing up the sweeteners, changing the dried fruits and adding sunflower seeds. And I found out I love it even more.
So, can anyone think of another reason to make your own granola? Leave a comment below if you do and to just share your thoughts. I always appreciate hearing from you.
This post also shared at Slightly Indulgent Tuesday, Totally Tasty Tuesday, Tasty Tuesdays, Allergy Free Wednesday, Make Your Own Monday, Gluten Free Friday, and Gluten Free Monday. Mostly Homemade Mondays. Gluten Free Wednesday.
Simple and Delicious Homemade Granola
- 1/4 cup oil of your choice (I use canola)
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 cups gluten free or regular rolled oats
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup raisens
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix the first 4 ingredients.
- Add the rolled oats and mix until oats are covered.
- Spray a 10×15 pan with cooking spray.
- Lay out the oats onto pan and spread out.
- Bake 12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and stir and spread out granola again.
- Put back in oven and bake 12 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Add cranberries, raisens and sunflower seeds.
- Bake an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool on counter top. If it seems a little "wet" when you take it out of oven that is okay.
- After cooled off completely, store in air tight container in refrigerator.

Ivy League Takes Cue From Dartmouth On Reducing Football Concussions
Very proud right now that the entire Ivy League is eliminating tackling during college football practices. A remarkable step on an issue where so many still deny the science and medicine at the expense of tens of thousands of athletes. Prouder still that they're following the lead of my alma mater, Dartmouth College, which prohibited full contact practices six years ago. The Big Green took home the League title in 2015.

Generally industrial production can have significant impact on environment. This certainly depends on type of industry and the type of goods it produces. However, it also depends on the production methods and processes. Apart from varied usage of resources and energy, industrial production has side effects such as waste generation, effluent generation, heat generation, generation of polluting and green house gases, noise generation etc. Integrated preventive measures in the form of designing and implementing cleaner production processes can significantly minimize such side effects. Consequently, this can help reduce the environmental impacts of industries and also help in increasing efficiency of resource usage for production in industries.
The concept of this Production was proposed by United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and United Nations Industrial Development Program (UNIDO). Since 1994 this is being supported by UNIDO across countries in Europe, Asia, Africa. Central and Latin America through operation of National Cleaner Production Center Programs with government and industrial partners. This involves dissemination of relevant information which can be use for cleaner production, plant and industrial assessments, policy advice and help in transfer of environment friendly technologies to industries.
This production approach focuses on pollution prevention, waste minimization, use of clean and environment friendly technologies, reduction of use and release of toxic chemical substances and eco-efficiency. This systems can be achieved through several steps which cover one or more of several features focusing on sustainability. For example, analysis of material and energy flows (for example, using life cycle analysis methods) and documentation of their consumption helps in looking into current status of production processes. This makes and important aspect of cleaner production. Better management and housekeeping efforts such as identification of losses caused by mistakes arising from poor training and planning is another significant part of this approach. This is achieved through introducing and developing indicators and assessing them through audits and controls. Choice of types of resources, materials and energy makes significant difference towards cleaner production and, therefore, as much renewable materials and renewable energy as possible is substituted for non-renewable materials and non-renewable energy when it comes to this production. Streamlining and automation of processes can help reduce energy (energy efficiency) and resource use (resource efficiency) and also waste generation and, therefore, this plays an important role in here.
Finally, 'reduce, reuse and recycle' philosophy and related waste management strategies form integrated part of cleaner production. If components can be reused, this can have much positive effect on pollution prevention and resource and energy usage and at the same time saving costs. This can be done on-site or elsewhere depending on logistical possibilities and cost efficiency. Eventually, through this production, environmental risks are minimized and cost of environmental compliance can be reduced significantly. Due to decrease in overall costs, respective industries can achieve higher competitive advantage in national and international markets. This can be achieved for diverse industries ranging from manufacturing machinery to consumables to medicines to chemicals, for example, making or using chemical drain cleaner products or fertilizers etc.
Thus, in a nutshell, cleaner production, by way of focusing towards strategies for sustainability, not only has environmental advantage but also has economic incentives for businesses and eventually benefits stakeholders and society.

Will You Be Allowed To Use Fireworks This Fourth Of July? [POLL] [VIDEO]
Will city commissioners allow the people of Potter County to use firework in Amarillo this Fourth of July?
As a little kid I could hardly wait until the 4th of July so I could go with my parents and buy some fireworks. It was the coolest thing to me.
But now because of the drought the Texas Panhandle has had the last few years it has become nearly impossible to pop fireworks in or around Amarillo city limits.
Thankfully the rainfall this year has been much more healthier than what we have had in the past. With that being said Randall County has lifted their burn ban and allowed the use of fireworks.
As of right now Amarillo and Potter County are under a "Partial Burn Ban" set forth by City Commissioners. If you are caught inside of City Limits with fireworks you could face up to a $2,000 fine. So my question to you is: will you be using fireworks this Fourth of July?

After reading one of Paul Edmonsons latest hubs about scraping and the Penguin update, I decided to test out Google search with some snippets from my (used to be) most popular hub (got the idea from Pauls hub)
Turns out all the sentences have been used on other sites in one form or another,word for word,sometimes paragraphs, sometimes the whole hub. And it does not show that my hub was copied at HP, but they were copied - alot!!. So these thieves, spammers with crap websites have been stealing all my content without my knowledge. And most times they rank higher than my hub which had great success over it's 3 year life - until now. ARGGHHHHHH.......
Methinks this is why my content got hit so hard in the Penguin update! My traffic is down 75%. My original content being stolen left and right!!
Don't get mad, get even. Filing a DMCA does work in the majority of cases.
If the situation is that bad, then you need to sign up for Copyscape Premium. You can export your list of Hubs, paste them into Copyscape and it will return all the copied versions from all over the web. Then it lets you submit DMCA's and keep track of them.
It's not free, but it's only 5c per URL and it will be a whole lot quicker than pasting snippets - plus once the report's done, you can work through it methodically.
Do remember that if someone has published an excerpt from your Hub and included a link to the original, that's a GOOD thing. You only need to go after people who've quoted without a link, or who have taken the whole Hub.
Hi Dorsi
I also read Paul's hub the other day and as a result did a paste and copy search of a recent hub of mine that was HOTD on May 4th.
It's already been copied twice since then. I posted a forum about it here;
I've only been on HubPages for 3 months so I have nothing like your experience but there is a real problem here that is not being addressed.
My simple paste and copy research shows that of the 31 HOTD awarded that accolade in the month prior to 4th May, 6 have been stolen and copied. That is 20%.
My best guess is that high profile hubs like HOTD and older, higher ranking hubs that appear high in Google listings are targeted on a regular and ongoing basis.
While I understand we are responsible for asserting our own copyright the growth and prevalence of this theft is out of control. I haven't the time to police this potential threat to my hobby and soul, so I've no idea how you could.
A solution needs to be found that is effective and productive and guards the interests of the members of this community. It is highly disheartening to be given a shrug of the shoulders and the file a DMCA treatment by management: which is what the reaction seems to be at the moment.
I wonder how much theft is causing HP losses for authors? Surely Google views multiple copies of hubs as spam? Could be why some HP authors are getting hit so hard?
No, not really. Google is aware of content theft and tries to work out which is the "authority" article and which are the copies, and ignores the copies. Unfortunately for some reason, it seems to have a hard time getting that right, and often chooses one of the copies instead of the original.
I suggest getting Google alerts. Although it don't stop the thieves you will know if anyone has copied your content right away you will receive an email. I put small portions of my articles on Google alert like 3 or 4 different sentences from throughout my article.
So far I have caught the people right away. Your chances of them removing your content is far better than not knowing for months then a lot of times they no longer keep up their blog so than its impossible to locate them or email them and such.
I think its the best line of defense.
This is driving me mad too. I wrote an original hub about a family member that was back in History, it was even used in Wiki. When my hubs dropped like stones, I went to check this one out, and would you believe it? I can't even find it! I have to write my name next to it to bring it up. But there are sites that have copied it so often I can't catch them all, in fact there is one site that only has my hubs on it, but when I click on the link it doesn't work, he is just using it to get the adverts! and yes I am complaining now, but its driving me insane!
The most recent incident of plagiarism I had to deal with was one of my first Hubs. It was plagiarized the same day I wrote it! She took app 3/4 of my article, word for word, and I believe she may have used someone else's article for the rest of it and wove the 2 articles together into 1. I filed a DMCA complaint and it was taken down within a couple days. If you missed it the 1st time I posted the link to her, here it is again. It seems she was really on a roll posting frequent articles recently. I thought Examiner would close her acct completely and was surprised when I just clicked on the link I had and she is still active! So please check out her 2 pgs of articles; I really suspect my hub may not be the only one published as her work.

I agree, if you write for Examiner and are found to plagiarize you should be booted out on your butt.

OK, as promised, here is some more info, from Mum & John's perspective.
This is basically a cut'n'paste job from an e-mail they sent to family and friends (with permission I hasten to add ;>)
""For those of you ancient enough to Radio 4 be familiar with Alistair Cooke's "Letter from America" this is likely to seem a pale comparison. Certainly less erudite and not as well crafted – but hopefully it will inform and maybe even amuse, though the political comment will be markedly absent!
This is Carol's second visit to this amazing country and my first. As we flew in at night the lack of any settlements for hundreds of miles prior to landing in Astana was perplexing. It was hard to comprehend such vast tracts of land without population. Then Astana appears on the Kazakh Steppes resembling a modern Emirate city. Disney could not have bettered it! When Carol was here last she arrived through the back door, via the old capital of Almaty, then a twenty three hour train journey across a hot and dusty terrain. She made the trip for her son (Chris) & daughter in law's (Irina) marriage. Jokingly she had said as she left to Irina's father that he was to have a new airport built on her return. He did – and a pretty impressive airport to boot! It is so refreshing to see architecture which is not afraid to be adventurous, particularly in the teeth of such extreme weather conditions. Thankfully on this trip it has been kind to Carol & me, between 21°C & 30°C. The temperature can famously vary between -30°C in the winter to +40°C during the short summer months.
Being picked up by a chauffeur-driven 4×4 also helps to ease the system into Kazakh ideas on driving. In fact, if you wish to venture in our footprints, I would suggest ringing ahead to ask if Hertz have any ex-army tanks available. The new city has broad six to eight lane roads – with the odd pothole. That is where any similarity to European standards of driving ends. A neat trick by local dignitaries is to have the road totally cleared in advance of their rapid passage past their gracious public. They miss out on all the fun of coming to a major junction, where a variety of arbitrary U-turns is added by boy-racers and 4×4 drivers alike in order to test out your sphincter control. Amid this, add ramshackle buses from previous centuries, the odd Wallace & Gromit motorcycle & sidecar, and multi-trailered lorries with dubious breaking systems – and you have the prescription for the ultimate fun ride. Oh, by the way, taxi-drivers frown on you if you attempt to wear a seat-belt – just not macho enough! They don't seem to work anyway. So much for the easy bit… now try crossing the road as a pedestrian. Chris has an interesting technique. He stares them in the eyes, daring them to hit him, and strides forth with the arrogance of Livingstone conquering new lands for Britain. I have tried the opposite approach, whimpering abjectly on the kerbside, looking as if I urgently need incontinence pads! This seemed to work at first, but once you have stepped off the kerb you are a toy in their arena, as cement lorries, rusty Toyota drivers, and a plethora of ex-soviet cast-off vehicles join in the fun of trying to bounce you off their bonnet. I think I prefer Chris' approach… at least you go down "thinking of The Empire!". §§§
The ordinary people of Astana themselves at first seem quite "stand-offish', but in fact they are warm and generous, with a hospitality which comes from generations of having to share what little you have. Of course, as strangers we are stared at, they are not used to the concept of tourists here, even though they are themselves made up from an amalgam of many races due to centuries of invasion, counter-invasion and political expulsion. This is cool! – for the low-down on the facts and figures try visiting Chris' blog (what the devil is a blog?). If you pop into " www.chrismerriman.com (and click on the Kazakhstan link) " he can take you straight into the CIA website to get all the statistics on Kazakhstan, and even have lots of facts & figures on mattresses and other obscure things! He is even promising to set up a blog for me §§§², so maybe there might even be some photos I can share as evidence to this diatribe.
Irina's family must come in for some special mention. Her Mum & Dad have generously made us welcome, and fed us like kings. Valery, her dad, seems to have been responsible for building most of Astana – certainly some of the most creative architecture (Chris has now advised me to attach photos to this e-mail, so a couple of images are included), and his building company covers an area the size of France & Germany combined. Thanks for getting the sauna & the light switch in the kitchen completed for us Valery! Genya, (Irina's Mum) is something in between a Structural Engineer & Architect, and she has played no mean part in the new Astana. I forgot to mention earlier on that this city has sprouted on the Steppes in the last five years, proof of which is in the way that building progresses 24/7, and construction traffic rolls past the apartment throughout the day & night. Imagine trying to sell that idea to British builders!
Of special mention must also come Babushka, Irina's Grandmother, who is more than willing to tell you tales of the hardship of war, but still has a dry sense of humour. Despite her years she takes an active and commanding interest in the large garden which provides copious amounts of home grown vegetables. She does seem rather obsessed with everyone not sitting in drafts (which may cause a plethora of illnesses) or sitting on cold surfaces (which is a sure-fire way of getting haemorrhoids, apparently!). My thanks to Eynak the guard dog for not eating me! Spellings of names are approximate since the Russian version is beyond my comprehension. Our alphabet may not be set in tablets of stone, but theirs is set in a Cyrillic !
A word of warning though. It is the tradition to make many toasts during a meal involving gulping back your shot of vodka or cognac. THEY CHEAT! Sometimes they don't drink the whole thing. Of course, there was me trying to keep up and represent Wales honourably, but ending having to be assisted from the proceedings. At least this was treated as not too unusual an occurrence, and no great issue was made of it in the following days. My special thanks to Carol & Irina for their tolerance and care. On the subject of food & drink though – it is pretty cool to have caviar on the table at breakfast time! I'm not sure we will be able to keep up this standard at home. One of the things I tried, in an Uzbekistan themed restaurant, was a traditional dish of horse's milk. A bit salty but quite refreshing. Why was I the only one drinking it though? Horse meat is quite palatable though. I really don't know why we are so prejudiced against it in the UK? (My apologies to my vegetarian daughter!)
I must not forget to mention Chris & Irina's beautiful & stylish apartment, and in particular the bath/shower enclosure, which resembles a nuclear decontamination chamber in Houston. I lost count at thirty different water jets, which attack from devious angles. Even though Chris gave us a comprehensive guide to the controls, we still ended up jumping around, in an attempt to avoid being squirted at in the nether regions, or turning on the radio or phone. We have come a long way from a bucket with holes in the bottom.
Coming to the end of this epistle now. The next two days are going to be spent picking up some souvenirs – some curly-toed slippers for me. That is something we should warn our future visitors about…one of the eminently sensible traditions here is that everybody changes into a pair of slippers upon entering the house. Be warned! In our new home we have decided that this should be the practice. For those of you who are not aware – and my apologies for not being in touch with some people for quite a while, life has been rather frenetic – we have moved into our new home in Clydach, and hopefully the builders will have completed their work on the house in Swansea, so we can get that on the market soon.
For your info – the new address is;- Removed… if you need the info, leave a comment and I'll pass your request on
…and the home phone number (ex-directory) is see note above
You are all more than welcome to visit. We decided against a house warming party as our daily lives are busy enough, and thought that a steady stream of friends is a better way of catching up.
Hoping that we can make it back through Heathrow with one or two bottles of liquid! We hope that you will be in contact soon.
Now I think I need to let Carol have a say!
Well, after all that, what is left to say? (A good excuse for my laziness). It's been lovely to visit Chris and Ira and to feel welcomed back by people who already regard themselves as friends and family. Suffice it to say that Wales and all things Waleski (yes, Welsh really is Waleski) have been strongly promoted. Apart from having to get back to the grind, it will be good to get back home and resume sorting things out in the new house in Clydach and the old one in Swansea……but it will be even better to have friends and family visit us. The house is dead easy to find – even I managed it on my own first time around!
Back home Thursday 17th August pm.
Hope to see you soon. Take care
p.s. Just a quick post script following a day of amazing food in two restaurants,as we lurch our way to bed. special thanks to Oleg who superbly acted as our guide. with special thanks for trying to translate the menu. We are still trying to work out "Lambs Pluck wrapped in stomach reticulum with spices", and 'Savouri Georgian style sausage from cut lamb with spices & pomegranates granules". Oleg, your Welsh was truly amazing!!! You will certainly be welcome in our home any time you can make it. A Kazakh speaking Welsh in the local pub should be worth seeing. J.""
That's it, hope it helps some people who may be considering coming over. Or in ChrisD's case, he can read it, then forget every line and ask me to re-send it in Messenger |-P
§§§ I promised myself I wouldn't editorialise their e-mail, but I couldn't resist at this point. I don't cross the road with a British-Empire swagger. Outwardly, I maintain a confident-looking appearance, else the drivers 'sense' the fear and try to capitalise upon it – namely by making you stand still or sprint to a different lane whilst they drive full speed AT you… I decided it was better this way, as screaming and playing hide'n'seek with the cars tends to lead to un-predicatable results :>

There are a couple of different options out there for someone to keep their iPhone, or other mobile device, charged, even if they aren't near a power outlet. While most of them focus on the power of the sun, the new iFan charger for the iPhone puts its attention on wind power. As of right now, the design is just a modification, and not actually a "ready for the market" device.
And, as for the user who created the Do-It-Yourself iFan iPhone charger, it's being reported that it took 6 hours to charge the iPhone fully. Sure, that's a lot longer than some people may expect, but given the correct situation, the iFan could be the perfect accessory for your iPhone. Especially if the user can get the charge time down, like it's suggested is possible. If the user can make the fan blades themselves more efficient, it's suggested that the overall time needed to charge the iPhone could be reduced pretty significantly.

Tinkertoy, thanks for the invite props. I really liked everything from that company and was torn among several designs. Jenlevergood, Ariadna told me the same about the bouquets but after sending numerous pictures, it seems that they can do different designs, but they're limited to only the flowers listed in the catalogs. That limits you to roses, lilies, irises, calalillies, and gerber daisies for the most part. They can do different colors but not different flowers. I'm really disappointed about that and am almost willing to pay more for a different flower. I understand that they are seasonal and it costs money to import, but I'm willing. I guess I need to be telling her all of this!

That flower thing kind of blows my mind... I mean, I am thinking of doing a very tropical bouquet and you can't tell me that they can't get birds of paradise, hibiscus, ginger, etc.... Just GO PICK SOME!
My grandmother has offered to pay for our invites as they are in the business and can get them at 50% off BUT we have to order from Carlson Craft. Their designs have not blown me away so far so I'm at a loss.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!
I've been working with Ana and she is a total wedding cooridinator rockstar. Can't wait to meet her on Saturday!
Here's my plans:
We purchased the Moonlight package and I paid additional for extra flowers for the best man, MOH, my mom, for the cake & for my hair. We are also paying extra for our pics w/ Blue Caribe as this package doesn't include any. I think the prices we are paying for what we are getting are fair. I'm a financial analyst so obviously I'm careful about what we get for our $$.
I chose flowers from the options Ana sent, but it was hard cuz our colors are blue & silver. I opted for a bouquet of white Lillies, white roses & purple iris. Ana said I could choose any other flower and they could paint it to match my color but I wanted my flowers to be au natural – I guess that's the hippie in me : )
Reception location we have not chosen yet – Ana said we'll figure it out when we get there. Same as the food. I opted not to pay for a fixed menu – although it was offered to us. We plan to just pick the restaurant that feels the most like us & order off the all-inclusive menu.
Cake – here is where we got a bit picky – my fianc© is a chef so the cake is a big deal. We weren't feeling any of the options so I sent Ana a pic of what we want & she said no prob & I just have to bring the ribbon & we paid for a dozen extra flowers for the cake. I got a pic out of a bridal magazine that I plan to give her on Saturday. Haven't decided on the flavour yet. Apparently all the cake flavours are on the buffet so we're going to do our own little tasting & then tell her what we want.
We're doing welcome bags, our AHR invitations turned out beautiful. Is it against the rules to post links on here. LOVE our welcome bags. They are soooo cute!!!
Ahollo – I just saw that map you posted. The place looks freakin' HUGE!!
Yea, so we leave the day after tomorrow. Holy cow!!
I cannot stress enough how awesome it has been to work with Ana. We originally had Lupita as a WC, but after she left we were reassigned to Ana. She's been a god send.
Posted 02 September 2010 - 03:57 PM
Oh and Ahollo - We've finished our ceremony & sent it to the Pastor. I'll post it on here when we get back, as I don't want to ruin any surprises if my friends or family are on this board : ) I also LOVE our sand ceremony kit. If it's okay to post links & stuff I'll show it to y'all.

Can I have the religious ceremony there followed by a civil ceremony - I dont need the whole ceremony just something quick to make our marriage legal. Thanks for any advice.
Posted 03 September 2010 - 12:21 PM

Posted 03 September 2010 - 12:25 PM
I have pieces my ceremony together from several posts and findings. This is my first draft. Let me know if I should change anything!
Entering of the Bride
We are here today to participate in a most joyous occasion; to celebrate one of the greatest moments in life, by acknowledging the wedding of Carl and Alison.
Today Carl and Alison proclaim their love to the world, and our joy and thoughts are with them.
Being assured of your love as life long companions, and that you have your families blessings, I now ask, who gives this women to be married to this man?
(Michael says "I doâ€)
Thank you, Michael.
Opening Blessing
Carl, Alison, Family and Friends, I would like to welcome you to Riviera Maya, Mexico.
Carl and Alison, you have known each other from the first glance of acquaintance to this point of commitment. At some point, you decided to marry. From that moment of yes to this moment of yes, indeed, you have been making promises and agreements in an informal way.
All those conversations that were held riding in a car or over a meal or during long walks - all those sentences that began with "When we're married†and continued with "I will and you will and we willâ€- those late night talks that included "someday†and "somehow†and "maybeâ€- and all those promises that are unspoken matters of the heart.
All these common things, and more, are the real process of a wedding. The vows that you are about to make are a way of saying to one another, " You know all those things we've promised and hoped and dreamed- well, I meant it all, every word.†Look at one another and remember this moment in time.
Before this moment you have been many things to one another- best friend, companion, video game partner, and even teacher, for you have learned much from one another in these last few years. Now you shall say a few words that take you across a threshold of life, and things will never quite be the same between you. For after these vows, you shall say to the world, this- is my husband, this- is my wife.
By entering into this marriage, Carl and Alison are stating publicly, the feelings, and commitments they have held privately between them. They are proclaiming their love for, their trust in and their loyalty to the one, they cherish above all others.
Marriage has been described as living in love with your best friend. Love is one of the few constants in the universe. It is reality, affinity, and communication. Only love is capable of joining living beings by their deepest essence, uniting, completing, and fulfilling them.
Marriage is a symbol of the commitment, to create a lifelong partnership, based on love.
Before you are joined in marriage in my presence and before your witnesses, I am to remind you of the serious and binding nature of the relationship you are now about to enter. Are you both here of your own free will?
Carl and Alison would you please face each other and join your hands.
Carl, as I say these words, would you please repeat after me…
I love you, Alison. You are my best friend. Today I give myself to you in marriage. I promise to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you, and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle.
I promise to love you in good times and in bad, when life seems easy and when it seems hard, when our love is simple, and when it is an effort. I promise to cherish you, and to always hold you in highest regard. These things I give to you today, and all the days of our life. I am forever yours……faithfully.
Alison, as I say these words, would you please repeat after me…
I love you, Carl, You too are my best friend. Today I give myself to you in marriage. I promise to encourage and inspire you, to laugh with you, and to comfort you in times of sorrow and struggle. I promise to love you in good times and in bad, when life seems easy and when it seems hard, when our love is simple, and when it is an effort. I promise to cherish you, and to always hold you in highest regard. These things I give to you today, and all the days of our life. I am forever yours……faithfully.
The Rings
The wedding ring, traditionally, is a symbol of the unbroken circle of love as it has neither a beginning nor an end. It should always remind those who wear it of the sacredness of marriage and the love that feeds it.
Carl and Alison, your rings are intimately associated with your intent to honor and treasure the vows you have made today. By exchanging rings, resolve to live your vows and not to let them drift in shallow promises. Believe and trust that the words you have spoken have the capacity to create the marriage, family and life of your dreams, and that the rings you exchange will have the power to return you to your vows.
These rings mark the beginning of a long journey together, wear them proudly, as they are symbols which speak of love that you have for each other….
Carl as you place this ring on Alison's finger please repeat after me…
Alison, I give you this ring, as a sign of our marriage, and a lasting reminder, of the vows made between us today. I give you this ring, as a reminder that I will love, honor, and cherish you, in all times, in all places, and in all ways, forever.
Alison, if you accept please say I do…
Alison as you place this ring on Carl's finger, please repeat after me…
Carl, I to give you this ring, as a sign of our marriage, and a lasting reminder, of the vows made between us today. I give you this ring, as a reminder that I will love, honor, and cherish you, in all times, in all places, and in all ways, forever.
Carl, if you except, please say "I Doâ€.
Engagement Ring
The engagement ring is a symbol of promise and intention. Now the intention is realized and the promise fulfilled. Carl, please place the engagement ring on Alison's finger over her wedding band to symbolize that the love that brought you together will always protect and sustain your marriage.
Hand Blessing
Carl, please hold Alison's hands palms up, so you may see the gift that they are to you.
These are the hands of your best friend, young and strong and vibrant with love, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as she promises to passionately love you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness.
These are the hands that will work along side yours, as together you build your future, as you laugh and cry, as you share your innermost secrets and dreams.
These are the hands that will countless times wipe the tears from your eyes: tears of sorrow and tears of joy.
These are the hands that will comfort you in illness, and hold you when fear or grief engulfs your heart.
And these are the hands that when wrinkled and aged will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.
Alison, will you please hold Carl's hands, palms up, so you may feel the gift they are to you.
Carl, take a look at the position of your hands with Alison's and know that this is the last time that you will have the "upper hand.â€
These are the hands of your best friend, smooth, young and carefree, that are holding yours on your wedding day, as he promises to passionately love you and cherish you through the years, for a lifetime of happiness.
These are the hands that will massage tension from you neck and back in the evenings after you've both had a long hard day.
These are the hands that will hold you tight as you struggle through difficult times.
These are the hands that will comfort you when you are sick, or console you when you are grieving.
And these are the hands that will give you support as she encourages you to chase down your dreams. Together as a team, everything you wish for can be realized.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Carl and Alison have demonstrated in your presence today, their belief in their love, and their desire to live together in Holy Matrimony. If you also believe in their love, and wish to add your blessing on their marriage today, please respond now by saying……………WE DO
And are you all willing to sustain and strengthen this marriage, by giving Carl and Alison the public commitment of your love and support, through all the ups and downs ahead of them…If you are willing, please say……….WE ARE
Now that you have joined yourselves in matrimony, may you strive always to meet this commitment, with the same spirit you now are now shining. We all bear witness to this ceremony you have just performed, and this bond that has been formed today can be broken by none.
With family and friends, in front of the presence of God and his beautiful creations of the sand and sea, you may now call yourselves by those old and respected names, Husband and Wife.
Carl, you may kiss the bride.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I introduce to you Mr. and Mrs. Carl Groff.

Time to address party donations and MLA figures
Gerald Morgan (Write Back, December 4) makes valid points concerning the need for electoral reform to address the problem of unelected MLAs by co-opting.
However, in addition to co-opting, there are two other electoral-related issues needing attention. These are, firstly, the need for transparency regarding political donations - the electorate needs to know who funds the parties here and by how much (as in the rest of the UK).
Secondly, the total number of MLAs in Northern Ireland - 108 - is disproportionate to the size of the actual electorate population (1.2 million).
This is especially apparent when a comparison is made with other devolved regions. For example, Wales has just 60 Assembly members for an electorate population of 2.22 million. Hence, the correct number of MLAs for Northern Ireland would be around 35.
This could be achieved by reorganising the constituencies on a county basis, with five seats per county and an additional five seats for Belfast.
Each of the parties could then field a single candidate per county during elections; this would result in having five MLAs per county and five for Belfast, which would be quite sufficient. In addition, Spad numbers would be significantly reduced.

GRAYSLAKE – Losing a star athlete who likely would account for 36 points might put a major dent in most teams' chances for a conference title.
When Cary-Grove junior standout Morgan Schulz grew ill after running her 200 meters semifinal heat, and left to go home, the Trojans forged remarkably ahead.
C-G's margin of victory for its sixth consecutive Fox Valley Conference Track and Field Meet championship still was significant – 120 points to second-place Huntley's 82 – on Thursday night at Grayslake North's stadium.
Because of a scoring error in the final event, the triple jump, the team results were not final, but C-G was uncatchable at that point and had two girls score in the triple jump.
"It says a lot," Trojans coach Mark Anderson said. "This has to be the most monster performance I've seen from our girls in 15 years as coach. They proved to themselves they're a complete and balanced team. Not having Morgan score a single point, you wonder if it's possible."
Anderson said Schulz felt sick after running the 200 and thought she was dehydrated. He said she was not injured and figured she would recover for next week's DeKalb Class 4A Sectional Meet. Schulz was the favorite in the 300 low hurdles and the No. 2 seed in the 800. She also would have ran the 200 and anchored C-G's top-seeded 4x200 relay team.
C-G only had two FVC champions – Nikki Freeman in the discus and Erika Sternard in the high jump – but the Trojans scored so many points, often placing two in an event, to win by a wide margin.
"We have a deep team," said C-G sophomore Nicole Robins, who placed in four events. "We have a lot of love and support each other and cheer each other on to do the best we can. We had a little adversity, but we picked up the slack and knew we could push through."
Huntley's Macy Tramblay set a meet record with her personal-best time of 14.86 in the 100 high hurdles. She also won the triple jump and ran a leg on the winning 4x400 relay team and was sixth in the high jump.
"We had the wind toward us, so I wasn't expecting to get in the 14s," Tramblay said. "I could not believe it when I heard it was the record."
McHenry's 4x800 team of Katie Purich, Rachel Irwin, Ellie Gioia and Lauren Opatrny ran 9:29.98 to break the meet record set last year by a Jacobs team at 9:33.07.
"Our goal is to get all four girls to state, not just a couple," Purich said. "We knocked 15 seconds off our best time. It's all positive now, run our hardest and we have nothing to lose."
Jacobs' Lauren Van Vlierbergen ran 2:17.81 in the 800 and 4:59.34 in the 1,600, winning both races and missing two meet records by a combined 1.3 seconds.
"I wanted to go 4:55 [in the 1,600]," Van Vlierbergen said. "It was a little windy on the last stretch. I ran a pretty good 800 and had fresh legs to come back in the 1,600."
Crystal Lake South's Kianna Clark won the shot put and ran a leg on the Gators' winning 4x100 relay with Gaby DeJesus, Kathleen Pencak and Taylor Schau. Schau also won the 300 hurdles with a personal-best time of 45.99.
"I surprised myself, I just wanted the best I could do," Schau said. "I was kind of mad when I found out Morgan wasn't running, I wanted to be pushed. I usually overthink the race, but I just ran with my heart and didn't think about it too much."
Crystal Lake Central's Celeste Madda won the 100 and 200, and Woodstock's Maura Beattie, the defending Class 2A state champion, won the 3,200.

Professional Writing Services
Small businesses look at launching their website as a key event in the life of their business, and it is. It's the start of the company's foray into digital marketing and all the new customers that come with it. It's a key part of the company's small business marketing plan.
Unfortunately, some also look it as the end. Perhaps their thinking is: "Our website is done; check, now onto something else." These businesses are very dismayed when their site's search ranking heads steadily downward starting the day it launches. They forgot how Google ranks websites in the search results.
Although there are more than 100 factors used by Google to determine search ranking, two stand out as the most important: relevance and currency. Google puts a lot of weight on how much the content on the site reflects what the user was searching for, and how current the content on the site is.
Good writing and SEO practices will help your site achieve good initial search rankings when it launches. But, failure to regularly post new content will guarantee that the site's ranking will go down over time. Maintaining good search rankings is critical to the long-term success of your website and your small business marketing efforts.
Our professional writers will not only develop good and relevant content for your site, but they will ensure good SEO practices are used.
We offer writing and content development services by the hour, or as part of a monthly service agreement.

If the Atlanta Hawks were hoping to make a big free-agent splash this offseason, this probably wasn't the kind of start they had in mind.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a recent letter sent by the Hawks to prospective ticket buyers may have violated the NBA's anti-tampering policy by mentioning Lakers center Dwight Howard and Clippers point guard Chris Paul, who both are still under contract by other teams and become unrestricted free agents on July 1.
The letter included the headline "Hot New Player news: Chris Paul and Dwight Howard" and began with the following statement: "The buzz around our offseason is more than heating up. With massive cap space, 4 draft picks, and free agency rapidly approaching, we sit in the best position in the NBA. Player interest is skyrocketing as the possibilities of landing Chris Paul & Dwight Howard become more and more of a reality."
The letter later added: "This is your opportunity to get on board before its [sic] too late. Once we solidify our signings there will be no seats left."
The NBA's anti-tampering policy prohibits teams from commenting publically on potential free agents prior to July 1, and includes anyone involved within an organization, from the general manager to team employees.
The league has issued fines for tampering in the past, most notably in 2010 when LeBron James became a free agent before joining the Miami Heat. Then, the Hawks were one of a number of teams that were fined when co-owner Michael Gearon made comments about James.
Howard, an Atlanta native, and Paul have been linked recently about the possibility of joining forces. Paul is reportedly upset at the Clippers for blaming him as part of the reason for former coach Vinny Del Negro's firing, while it's believed that Howard would be willing to go to Atlanta if Paul were going, too. And with the cap space that they have, the Hawks are likely the only team that could sign both players.

Welcome to Part 16 of my series on Living a Simple Life! To read other installments in this series, click on the "Simple Living Series" tab at the top of the page.
"Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them." (Matthew 23:1-5)
This chapter is shockingly honest about the true nature of the religious burdens the Pharisees placed upon the people. The Pharisees developed a list of "rules" that were required of worshippers, thus placing a "heavy burden" upon people.
"As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:1-10)
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness." (Matthew 23:27-28)Dear friend, do not place unnecessary burdens upon yourself. Embrace the grace God has offered you today. Allow His beauty to fill your life like a sweet perfume. Simply place your hand in His; your life in His hands, and allow Him to lead you. Enjoy the beauty and joy of His presence, whether it is in the storms of life, or in moments of bliss. Be simply His.
"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." (Ephesians 5:1-2)

As summer approaches, we have to get our yard tools ready. They should be maintained and serviced so that when it comes time to cut the grass. We're ready. Are your lawnmower blades sharpened and is your Push Reel Lawn Mower oiled and ready to go? With everyone focusing on the environment and pollution we should continue to look for ways to do our part. One of the ways is to have an environmentally friendly Push Reel Lawn Mower. This is a great way to get your exercise also. Now if you have a large lawn you wouldn't want to be out there pushing a reel lawnmower. But for small yards and if you're in good enough health to be needing some outdoor exercise. This is a great method to cut your grass.
The Scotts 2000-20 20-Inches Classic Push Reel Lawn Mower is quality built and has the durability to last you a number of years if well taken care of. The Scotts 2000 Reel Lawn Mower is a safe mower around children. It won't throw rocks and other projectiles like a gas mower would. The other thing is, when it's not operating you don't have to worry about some little kid walking over and sticking his fingers in the moving blades. Of course children should always be under supervision when a mower is in operation.
If you get up on a Saturday morning and cut your lawn very early in the morning. You won't have your neighbors throwing rocks at you because you're waking them up. They are able to sleep in no matter what time of day you decide to cut your grass.
Besides, it could be a faster way to get your mowing done, because sometimes a gas lawnmower can be hard to start for no apparent reason. And it is environmentally friendly, you don't have to deal with gas fumes and you can save on the cost of gas and oil. This will decrease your carbon footprint and give you great exercise at the same time.
The 20 inch cutting width helps to reduce time and effort on your part. So you can get the job done more quickly and efficiently. It has nine different height settings, giving you more control over your cutting height.
So with the Scotts 2000-20 20 inch Classic Push Reel Lawn Mower. You get the best of both worlds. Great exercise, no pollution, and your lawn mowed all in one motion.

Let's pretend you run a business. Let's pretend it's located in New York State, and you already pay crippling state and federal taxes that make it hard to compete. You have 10 employees, 7 with families and 3 who are single, with an annual payroll of $509,000. Pelosi's health care system gives you a choice:
- You can pay Pelosi's 2% tax, which totals $10,180 for the year, and dump all your workers into the government health care system, or
- you can pay $63,100 and continue to provide private insurance for your employees
Which option would you choose?
Similar scenarios were outlined by Rep. Joe Barton of Texas on the house floor before the bill was passed, but it obviously had no effect, which leads one to wonder: do Pelosi and company want everybody to have good health insurance, or do they really just want everybody to have government-run health insurance? CNSNews had this to say:
Because the government-run public option would be able to undersell the government-approved private plans in the government-run insurance exchange, the government-run option would soon be the only option.
Government would control our health care from womb to tomb, a time span likely to be shortened by government care.
