Ash Wednesday
In the Name of the Father and of the + Son and of the Holy Ghost.
Twenty-first century activisim is a social media post. Not that many years ago, caring about something would have meant action. Just 50 years ago, people stood up in Selma, Alabama to fight racism. They endured beatings and other atrocities to prove that a human is a human and has an inherent, God-given dignity no matter their skin color. Today, we have an emotional response and go back to life as normal. When Paris suffered terrorist attacks in November, countless people put a filter of the French flag over their Facebook profile pictures. When over 270 schoolgirls were kidnapped by the terrorist organization Boko Haram in 2014, Twitter was flooded with people using the hashtag "Bring Back Our Girls." One might see altered pictures or a trending hashtag and think "Wow! These people are really doing something to fix the problem!" But nothing could be farther from the truth. The filter only lasted a few weeks, and the hashtag stopped trending within days. When it was time for real action, for terrorists to be found and punished and schoolgirls to be rescued, public attention was long gone. But, in the minds of countless people, they had done something to fix the problem, they made a difference. But a picture doesn't fight terrorism and a hashtag doesn't undo abduction. We must stop mistaking feelings for action.
So what does all of that have to do with Ash Wednesday? Quite a bit, actually. And though I made it sound like a new phenomenon, it really isn't. As a people, we have always been prone to superficial responses while the necessary action never happened. That's what tonight's Old Testament Reading is all about. "Rend your heart, and not your garments," says Joel. Joel was writing to a people who were good at looking repentant, wearing sackcloth and ashes, while not really repenting of their sin. But that wasn't just something that affected God's people in 800 B.C. It's a reality for us still today. Especially on more solemn days like Ash Wednesday, we can make ourselves look repentant, while not really intending to amend our sinful life. We think that if we look the part, God will be happy and ignore what is really in our heart.
That struggle between emotions and reality is what Lent--and really the whole Christian life!—is all about. When we gather in the Divine Service and confess our sin, that confession is supposed to be a life-altering one. We are supposed to stand here, say out loud "I, a poor, miserable sinner" and be hit between the eyes with a spiritual two-by-four. That confession should knock the wind out of us, should bring us to the deadly reality that we are sinners who deserve grief and shame, even hell. When we confess our sins we are supposed to confess not only that we are sinful, but that, by God's help, we intend to sin never again. This confession isn't supposed to be done out of obligation, something that's just another part of the service we do because it's in the book. This confession is supposed to be a life-altering thing, a sobering reality that we have offended a holy and just God who is merciful to us to forgive our sins, and we don't want to make light of that mercy, to treat it like it's something cheap. Just like we shouldn't floor it to take off from an officer who just graciously gave us a warning instead of a speeding ticket, we shouldn't leave God's house, forgiven and restored, and go back into sin like it's no big deal.
Ash Wednesday, Lent, and the whole Christian life is a time of repentance, a time where we come face-to-face with our sin, the price God paid to forgive it, and plead the aid of the Holy Spirit to keep us from sinning. And God wants that repentance to be real, not a manufactured, emotional repentance. The ashes on our foreheads aren't supposed to be a superficial thing, washed off when we get home and forgotten about by tomorrow morning. The repentance, the act of throwing ourselves upon the mercy of our loving God that characterizes Ash Wednesday, Lent, and especially Holy Week, is to be a lifelong action.
But that doesn't mean our lives as Christians should be miserable, a constant thought of "Oh! How awful I am!" That's not what repentance is all about. Yes, there is a serious side of repentance. But repentance is never without joy. Why? Because we know the full story. We know that absolution, that comforting word of full forgiveness because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, follows our confession. It's the same reason blind Bartimaeus and the ten lepers and everyone else in the Gospels confidently cries out "Jesus, have mercy on me!" They plead that mercy boldly because they are confident He will give it. It's the same reason we can sing the Kyrie in every Divine Service, repeating their words, "Lord, have mercy upon us," with joy, because we know that He has had mercy and He always will have mercy. So our life of repentance is simultaneously one of joy, knowing that because we are Baptized into the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, our sin is forgiven, drowned in the flood of Jesus' Blood, and sin, death, and the devil have no claim on us. In the eyes of God, we are not sinners, but Blood-bought heirs of His kingdom, holy and sinless just like His Son, in whom we live, move, and have our being.
So how do we get to a place where our repentance is real, our turning from sin a daily action and not just a passing thought? The answer is easy. And just like our forgiveness for sin isn't something we accomplish, neither is this change in heart! We can't create in ourselves new and contrite hearts, so we have to come to the only One who can do that. Only the Holy Spirit working through the Word of God read and preached and freely dispensed in the Sacraments can make new hearts. So this Lent, and really the rest of our lives, the best we can do to have this action God desires is to come to church! Each time we are here, God does all the work of washing our hearts, giving us His Holy Spirit who leads us from sin and to the holy will of God.
So in this season of Lent it is appropriate for us to take an extra day in the week to place ourselves in the Lord's house, once again to hear again His Word, to focus on His Passion. It's good for us, outside of here, to make Jesus Christ the center of our conversation, to make the reading of His Word and prayer a center of our family life. And this isn't to pat ourselves on the back, to boast what good Christians we are, but in order to be continually transformed by the Word of God, to have the Holy Spirit constantly strengthening our faith by pointing us to Jesus, to His Word and Sacraments, and to His death and resurrection in our place.
By Jesus Christ our repentance is taken from mere emotion to a way of life. He creates in us what He wants in us. By Him, we don't just hate our sin and lament its effects in our life, but we go out with joy, knowing that He has forgiven us all our sin, and will always forgive us gladly, because He wants us to be in heaven with Him. The Prophet Joel reminds us that, while the Christian life is all about repentance, it is also about a merciful God, one who is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness. So as you come to this Altar to receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ tonight, throughout Lent, and throughout your life, lament your sin, plead the Holy Spirit's work to keep you from it, but also rejoice. By what you are given here, God does all the work. Because He is gracious and merciful, He will keep you all the days of your life, forgiving you, loving you, and protecting you until you stand in glory, parted never from your blessed Savior's side.
The peace of God which passeth all understanding keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Joel 2:12-19
1 John 1:5-9

How many times a day or week should you email your subscriber base or clients to get the maximum opens without getting "unsubscribe" responses?
Do you know what time of day is best for emailing?
Does it matter?
The answer is simple: emailing is not a haphazard activity. It has evolved into a science.
If you are interested in keeping a client and subscriber base informed and engaged with you and your business, it is well worth your time to invest in learning some of the research behind the science of email timing.

@Dijana - I'm also running w10 and it works just fine. Maybe it is the software you are trying to type in (works in OpenOffice), or it might be some issue with the mapping of your keyboard? Good luck.
I've tried everything suggested here to no avail. I'm running W10; used to be able to add the (c) directly to my image files with ALT-0169 in W7 or WXP. Now, no can do in W10 !! Any suggestions for W10? Driver Downloads ??
I forgot, how to use © on the keyboard
Your Alt-codes very informative
Bengaluru, India
In Word, Alt+Ctrl+c is the Copyright symbol.
Alt+Ctrl+t is the Trademark symbol.
I simply type the c in parenthesis and it makes the symbol automatically. (c) It didn't do it in this comment box, but if you are typing it in a Word document it does it.
Plus Sign In Triangle
thank you
very helpful by the way!
I use 0169 for © and 169 for ® because it's easy to remember! :D
It works! For Example Picture of mario
© Nintendo 2017
anyone tell me how to get the ºC symbol using the keyboard ?
Hi, learned that on laptop with keyboard, hold down ALT key, then type in 00169 which gives you: © =)
Nevermind! I found out what it means! Thanks!
I have an old print- at the bottom it has a copywrite symbol AND an circled H. Any idea what a circled H is symbol for?
My keyboard doesn't do anything when I typed alt+1 all the way to alt+31, I wonder why? I checked that I had the num lock on(although it doesn't make any difference when I used alt codes because it still worked with it off). I have an ASUS keyboard, is that the reason?
I have a Mac and alt + g works for the copyright symbol
I use Chrome book and the copyright symbol isn`t showing on the keyboard. Do this: Hold shift and type parenthesis ( then the letter c then parenthesis )no space, press enter
Shift+(c)then press enter gives you this ©
Alt +0174 ®
Thank you. I use a Mac and alt+g works ©. Cheers.
can any one help me out ,how i can use numeric keys with Alt key combination for Hindi typing in my Micromax canvas Lapbook ?
© hey I am using a macbook and pushed alt and different letters and lo and behold alt + g works©©©©©©©©©©©..hope that helps someone...
It has to be done on the number pad on the right side of the keyboard. Go somewhere you can type, hold alt, type the code, let go of alt. If it doesn't work try toggling number pad then try it again. Be warned that certain inputs can do weird things like refresh the page or close the page.
i tried them all none seem to be working for me... so i did the next best thing... copy and paste... DONE
On a full keyboard you must use the numeric keypad or equivalent on a laptop. These keys have different underlying codes that will create the © symbol (executed as described) ;-)
Have tried all of the above, with no success. I have always used 'alt' + 'ctrl' to get the copyright symbol. But it is now not working on my powerpoint slide. Help please required...............
just press the "end" key on your keyboard
How do We get the TM sign?
I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to make a comment?
@keith (2015-08-04 08:41:48)
You need to turn off autocorrect in Word. Choose "File" in the menu, then Options, then "Proofing".
You will see a button "Autocorrect Options". Click that, and you can choose exactly what symbols are autocorrected. (Sorry if my wording is not exactly correct - I use the German version of Word).
how do I get the copyright symbol on a smart phone keyboard?
My external laptop keyboard gives the © symbol when I type (C) into a Word doc. This is very annoying if you want to indicate the units are Celsius. Can't seem to turn it off . The Laptop's own keyboard doesn't do this though. You can use using Alt + 248 give a degree symbol so I can use (°C) which looks pretty good.
ctrl+alt+C to give © works on my Dell XPS13 laptop which has no numeric keypad nor any numlock option at all. This works here as above, and also inside Paintshop Pro X for adding watermarks, but in Photoshop CC ctrl-alt-C opens canvas size window.
on ordinary keyboards is created by holding down the ALT KEY and at the same time use the small set of numbers on the right to type 0169.
They don't have the separate set of numbers in a block on the right.
Instead, that set of numbers are written in blue on the top right of other keys.
On mine, the 0169 is these keys. M=0,J=1,O=6, 9=9.
So hold down FN with ALT and then while holding type the blue numbers for 0169.
Use a regular IBM keyboard with USB (or wireless)
on HP laptop: set numlock to ON using [FN]+ [num lk] (do not us the square brackets)
now use the [ALT+ the numbers on the letters mjkluio789] to get the required [ALT+Numbers]
Do not use the top row numbers, these dont work with the [ALT] (Except de numbers 789m those are also active in numlock mode)
Cyndy, it's probably because you are typing Alt + 169 You have to remember to type the 0
The same code given for the copyright symbol on this page is given for a completely different symbol on the home page, the "⌐" symbol, which is all I'm getting for '0169'. So what is the real code for the copyright symbol??
Hold shift and alt then press 0169. I have an acer laptop
I have a brand new computer, that doesn't have a separate number pad, and can't get it to work.
Mary Ann
© On some lap tops such as mine (Old Toshiba) You have to hold the ' FN ' button and the alt button at the same time while pressing the numbers. On mine there are numbers (small kinda invisible) on the ' 7, 8, 9, U, I, O, J, K, L, M ' and those are the numbers you can press insted of the other numbers :)
And such laptop is a Windows 8 laptop, if I'm not mistaken.
@ = Alt+64
What other keys work for the @ sign on my laptop
This isn't possible on all laptops. My older laptop had no num lock key. Luckily, my new one does. Not all laptops can perform laptops at all, most of which are small sized.
For those who do not have NUM Pad on their laptops, check your UIOJKLNM, keys..
They must have small numbers printed on them.
None of these suggestions worked for me. So, I copied a © and pasted it into the text block. Easy peasy!
If you're using laptop, you 've to press 'fn+NumLk', then you can use the alt-codes
I have a Toshiba laptop, and I read somewhere that you have to only use the keyboard pad to the right (ex. alt + random number), but my laptop doesn't have that. Can someone please tell me how? Thanks!!!!!!
it does not work for me , I hold down fn+alt keys did not get right result . I have Asus X45C series
laptop .
Alt 0169 worked on my Dell keyboard for the copyright symbol. © Alt 0174 works for the trademark symbol. ®
flower alt code please..?
you can allso press Alt+8888 to get it ;) ©
Depends on the lap top. Try holding down both the FN and Alt key. With most laptops, unless you have a built in Num Pad, you will have to use the FN number pad, usually to the right hand side of the keyboard; the number string(Top of keyboard) will not register correctly. If you DO have a built in Num Pad, simply Alt 0169(number pad keys) should work for you. As previously stated, if you do NOT have a built in Num Pad, you will have to use/hold the FN key, WHILE holding the Alt key, and put in "0169" from the FN Num Pad
I have a Windows 8 laptop and I'm trying to make a Copyright symbol . The alt code isn't working.
Neither is holding down the Function key.
Hold the FN + ALT key and type in 0169 with a Toshiba Satellite laptop. I tried all of the previous options without any luck. I think it may be the type of computer you have too.
Ho do I get the symbol for "Produced" which is a "P" in a circle like the ©?
Hold the ALT key and type the number 0169 to get copyright symbol. works 1st time thanks for the info.
With laptops you have to hold the function key down and use the number pad. Usually like M,J,I,L,K area. it depends on the lappy but you should see some of the letters have little blue (or different color) number or sign marks on them. Thats what the function (FN) key is for.
Works only with the numpad
You have to type in the zero 0169=© and 169=⌐
® why did this come out with alt + 169???
Doesn't work for me...??? do you have to have a seperate number pad? I have a laptop that only has the number keys at the top of the keyboard...
alt+1= ☺
alt+2= ☻
alt+3= ♥
alt+4= ♦
alt+5= ♣
alt+6= ♠
alt+7= • and so on, all the way too 255
edit: alt 841 works for me ©
I get the ® by doing this ..
I use 0169 for © and 169 for ® because it's easy to remember! :D
You can also use ALT+184 to get ©
® = 0174
My face is ©opyrighted.
Comment © Will Kendall Aereo 2012 ~
i use often copyright symbol, how about R symbol ?
©2048 i will be old then! ☺ i new alt codes and now i no more

|Nominated for ITW's Best Paperback Original...
Ten years ago I was down and out...
After a stellar launch and a quarter million dollar advance on my first novel, I did something stupid. I assumed those great big advances would keep rolling in every year like Christmas. All I'd have to do is write 60,000 words and collect the dough.
I was young, immature, stupid, and I freakin' blew it.
Instead of continuing on as a freelance journalist, I quit the racket altogether, believing that I'd be spending the rest of my days writing the great American novel. I didn't save any of my advance, but instead bought a house I couldn't afford while the rest of the money burned up in a costly divorce. When the first couple of books in the big deal didn't come close to earning out that huge advance, I was politely shown the door.
"Hey, that's showbiz, kid!"
I was left with no future publishing prospects, no journalism gigs, and even the new marriage I'd entered into had gone belly up.
Ten years ago, I sat all alone in my apartment and wondered if the Gods were trying to tell me something. That maybe I didn't have what it took to make it as writer. I knew I could continue sitting there feeling sorry for myself, or I could grow up a little, go the opposite direction and make the slow, arduous, long climb out of the pit I'd dug for myself.
|The newest novel...
I started out by doing something positive. I quit smoking.
I also started putting feelers out for new freelance journalism gigs. They started coming in at a trickle, but within a relatively short time, I was building up a new portfolio. I also started writing fiction again. Short stories and a new novel. The novel that would become Moonlight Falls was written during this tumultuous period. No wonder my main character contemplates, attempts, and fails at suicide.
I also began a long series of travels which turned into my becoming a freelance photo-journalist for outfits like RT. I saw West Africa and toured the bush where little children from an orphanage held my hand and touched my skin because they didn't believe the milky whiteness could be real. I went to Moscow, Paris, London, Istanbul, Peru, the Amazon Basin, and Egypt as the smoke cleared on the Arab Spring. I began basing myself out of Florence, Italy, where I would spend months at a time writing for news services and working on new novels.
Soon, I contracted with a small press to publish Moonlight Falls. Then another small press would take on a new version of The Innocent now that I'd managed to get my rights back from Delacorte. That novel would go on to sell a few hundred thousand copies. Ironically, it would have made back the original $250,000 advance. More books were written and more published. Then something wonderful happened. Thomas & Mercer, Amazon Publishing's traditional publishing arm offered me my first major contract in years and years.
I was back.
Today, ten years later, I'm enjoying contracts with several publishers large and small. Plus I've begun my own label to publish my Chase Baker series and other smaller projects. I'm still writing some journalism. Not because I have to, but because I want to keep my foot in the door and what the hell, it keeps me sharp. My SPJ dues are paid up and I'm a member in good standing.
This year I will enjoy my best year ever as a writer.
What's the secret to turning your writing life around?
For a business that requires as much luck as it does work, a writer must develop a fortitude, a self-discipline, and a perseverance that is unmatched in any other endeavor. The more you work, the more luck you have.
The ebook revolution played a big role as well.
But, ebooks or not, for me there was no other choice in the matter. Like Hemingway said after the initial dismal critical and commercial failure of Across the River and Into the Trees (1950). "When they've knocked you down on your ass for the count of eight, you get up and let 'em have it." He counter attacked and won the Pulitzer Prize. I've counter attacked and haven't won the Pulitzer, but I am up for ITW's Best Paperback Original for 2015 with Moonlight Weeps. And that's something to be very proud of.
Ten years ago I was down and out...and in many ways, it was the best thing that ever happened to me.


text: Sorry Suzi, I thought you started the thread... I am really in a dilemma about this as I was at such a low point before I was prescribed the Mirtazapine, that if I change I could revery to where I was before. I will try to get an appointment, but another issue is that there are no standard appointments available for the next month. I may have to try and book an emergency. I suppose as I am feeling "better" than I did in February, but still very low, I am not sure what level of mood I am trying to maintain. I am not at the level of wishing to hurt myself, but I am at a level that makes me permenantly low.

|No digital manipulation.
I've been in the City for almost 16 years, and I remember my first year, back in 2001 with no cell phone, it was much tougher to make a call. Go to the pay phone, find some coins to feed the tel... add more every 2 minutes, at least 25 cents, that was something! First of all you needed some change, plus the noise around you of the cops, sirens or something else! So hard to hear... Then 2 out of 4 phones never even worked! Many kids can't understand that – those days are gone for sure.
I just wanted to immortalize those pay phones. It's a kind of "homage" because they're going to disappear slowly but surely in the future. That's how I came up with the name TT, a mix of Telephone and Taxis. Very New York City.

Thanks for reading our blog. Our lives are so RICH. We are loving our new family with our precious son Keller. He is such a delight. He will be four months old next week and it is amazing how much he has already grown. He is such a joy to watch grow and discover the world around him. His very favorite thing to do right now is eat his toes and tell mommy all kinds of things in his very own language. James is working hard as the VP of sales for a marketing company in town and Adrianna is enjoying stay at home mommy-hood with Keller. Life really is so Grand.

ESOS Act 2000
Information and Tips for Enrolling Students with Visas
This information sheet has been developed to assist schools enrolling students on visas. It also reflects the introduction of the Simplified Student Visa Framework (SSVF) by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection on 1 July 2016.
Changes to the ESOS Act from 14 December 2015
The Education Services for Overseas Students Amendment (Streamlining Regulation) Bill 2015and the Education Services for Overseas Students (Registration Charges) Amendment (Streamlining Regulation) Bill 2015 received Royal Assent on 11 December 2015.
Three measures in the new legislation came into effect on 14 December 2015 to directly reduce administrative costs for education institutions and include;
- the removal of the study period
- the changes to student default reporting
- the ability for students to choose to pay more than 50 per cent of their tuition fees up-front.
Fact sheets are also available for the Streamlined Registration changes and the Internal Review changes, which have a date of effect of 1 July 2016.
Changes to the ESOS Act from 1 July 2014
Please see below information for changes to the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Framework that came into effect on 1st July.
Changes to ESOS Act 2000 from 1 July 2014 (Word)
Quick Checklist:
- Remove any reference to pre-paid fees from written agreements after 1 July, and replace with tuition fees where relevant
- Check school refund policies and documents for any changes required, e.g. updating any references to legislative instruments for calculating refunds
- Update any references in school documents using the full title of the National Code to National Code of Practice for Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students
Australian Government Schools International (AGSI) Homestay Standards
In 2013 Australian Government Schools International (AGSI) developed Homestay Standards for use by government school systems. While there are no compulsory national standards for homestay in the Independent sector, it is ISCA's aim to support high quality educational experiences for overseas students by providing these standards as a resource for the sector, with the cooperation of AGSI.
All CRICOS registered schools are required, under the National Code, to approve the accommodation and welfare requirements of under-18 year students studying with them on a student visa, unless the student is living with a parent or approved relative. Many schools fulfil this requirement by either having students in their boarding facilities or through running their own homestay programs. We hope that the AGSI Homestay Standards can either provide a 'checklist' for schools already running homestay programs, or provide guidance for schools thinking of setting up such a program.
Abolition of the auto-cancellation of visas and changes to sample documentation (April 2013)
In response to recommendations 24 and 25 of the Hon Michael Knight AO's Strategic Review of the Student Visa Program 2011 (the Knight Review), automatic and mandatory student visa cancellations ceased on 13 April 2013. Instead, a discretionary framework will allow the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) to consider the individual circumstances of each student when a registered provider reports a breach of mandatory visa condition 8202.
This means providers will need to change how they manage their obligations for monitoring and reporting of course progress and attendance under Standards 10 and 11 of the National Code of Practice for Registration Authorities and Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students 2007 (the National Code). Providers will also need to remove any references to automatic or mandatory visa cancellation, and any advice to students about having to contact the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) from current policies and procedures.
If reporting in PRISMS that welfare can no longer be approved for a student under 18 years of age under Standard 5.1.d of the National Code, providers are encouraged to first contact the DIAC office in their state / territory to discuss the circumstances of individual cases.

National Code 2007: Transition support handbook for non-government schools
Following the 2004-06 review of the ESOS Act, the National Code of Practice for Registration Authorities and Providers of Education and Training to Overseas Students (the National Code) was revised. The National Code 2007 came into effect on 1 July 2007. This handbook aims to assist schools which enrol full-fee paying overseas students to comply with the National Code 2007.
The handbook contains a guide to the requirements of each standard for providers, as well as a "quick compliance checklist" and sample documentation. It represents ISCA's current understanding of the requirements of the National Code 2007. This handbook was updated in October 2010.
The handbook is available in PDF format. The sample documents are also available as a separate Word document.

A YOUNG BRIDE - We give your own spelling of this word, which you repeat no less than *four times in your short note. From this we also should judge that two years more of schooling, at least, would be needed to complete your education, and to prevent the possibility of your future husband being ashamed of the ignorance of the girl whom he has made his wife. You say your age is seventeen, and if this be true, be advised by us and take the next two years for study, making an earnest effort to fit yourself for the life before you. If your lover be truly attached to you, he will wait; and if not, you must remember that marriage is by o means the chief aim or end of life, and that such early marriages do not tend to permanent happiness. 2. Brides' dresses are usually made of white satin at present, and the bridesmaids may be dressed alike in pairs. 3. Go at once to your mother, or whoever is your chaperone at the time. No well-bred young ladies do otherwise.
LEEK - 1. Feed your pug from the scraps of the table, and let him have milk and bread, and green vegetables. Not too much meat, nor too much food of any kind. 2. Silver ornaments are very fashionable. 3. Yes, your writing is very bad. We are bound to be candid.
A COASTGUARDSMAN'S BRIDE - To go to a wedding in deep mourning is not good taste; either stay at home or change your apparel for the day.

Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, dementia with lewy bodies, mixed dementia and Parkinson's disease are common types of dementia. Frontotemporal dementia, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Huntington's disease and Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome are also types of dementia, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
Dementia is a group of symptoms accompanied by specific diseases or conditions, claims WebMD. It occurs when memory, learning, language and decision making areas of the brain are affected due to disease or injury.
Dementia is split into two major categories: cortical and subcortical dementia, says WebMD. Alzheimer's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are part of cortical dementia, while Huntington's and Parkinson's disease are part of subcortical dementia.

Top Tips…(from a recruiters perspective)
August 11, 2008 Leave a comment
From a recruiters perspective what are the top tips we would offer our clients to make recruiting a better experience? We had the following thoughts…
1. "Time kills all deals" Great candidates won't wait.
2. Provide a quality brief. The more comprehensive the brief the better the result.
3. Choose one recruiter…and make a mutual committment to the process.
4. Open all candidate sourcing channels, press, web, referrrals etc
5. Understand the full Value Proposition you have to offer the ideal candidate as they will have choices and need to be sold on the job, challenges, rewards, recognition, package, future! Think…"Whats in it for me?"

Give me,
some poison to live,
I had been dead
for many years.
I burn my hands on a flame,
blank space has started talking.
I am ill at ease –
My lips are not moving.
The pellets, the bullets, the steel –
nothing matters now.
Dirty games can go on,
I am going on bromides
to ejaculate the pain.
Sleep will not come in dark
nor the relief in white robes.
I will remain awake till eternity.
Give me,
some thorns to bleed.
Rose petals
are hurting now.

Students interested in school leadership can register with the school election body before promoting themselves to their fellow students, who may or may not vote in their favor. These elections are experiential learning opportunities through which students elect their leaders, says The Center for Voting and Democracy.
Students should understand political and election vocabularies prior to taking part in the elections. Individuals interested in leadership positions have to manage campaigns and formulate policies that they can use to popularize their candidature, which is similar to national politics. These candidates may hold various rallies in lecture halls or open fields to state their policies and try to resonate with the electorate. A majority of school elections are won by individuals that exude confidence and radiate good leadership qualities.
School elections offer students insights into the electoral process, form part of citizenship education and allow students to elect competent leaders. These elections are popularity contests with a twist; they involve careful planning, strategizing and running of active campaigns. Although not as grand, school elections are very similar to the general elections or primaries. In addition to creating an elected group of students that acts on behalf of the student body, these elections instill the value of future participation in democratic processes in students.

University of Florida (UF) researchers netted a single female Schaus swallowtail butterfly last week on Biscayne National Park's Elliott Key, the first such capture since a multiagency workgroup that includes UF, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the National Park Service (NPS) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC). The capture raises hope that the species on the brink of extinction may someday be brought back. A single egg laid by the female will be added to several other Schaus larvae collected from the island and now in a Gainesville laboratory where researchers stand ready to start a breeding program pending discussions with agency partners.
"This single female could help bring the Schaus back from the brink," said Jaret Daniels, associate curator of lepidoptera at UF's Florida Museum of Natural History and the project's lead researcher. "The larva from her egg, combined with the other larvae we found in habitat preserved by Biscayne National Park, gives us the chance to help safeguard a portion of the remaining population."
Once prolific throughout the coastal hammocks of extreme southeastern Florida, the Schaus' decline has been variously attributed to drought, insecticide use and habitat loss from development. It was federally listed as endangered in 1984.
"The undeveloped keys within Biscayne National Park provide a last refuge for the Schaus where pesticides are not sprayed and native hosts plants are both protected and restored," said Biscayne National Park superintendent Brian Carlstrom. "The National Park Service has been working to remove non-native plants and plant thousands of host plants utilized by the Schaus on Elliott Key with funding support from the USFWS."
While the partners agree that finding one female and several larvae doesn't put concerns about this species' survivability to rest, the discoveries merit some relief and hope. "Kudos to the University of Florida team that found her and is nurturing the larvae," said Larry Williams, USFWS's Florida state supervisor for ecological services. "But our work is ongoing. We're going to keep searching as long as we can. The despair we felt last year has been replaced by hope."

|Scene Title
|Snap-Jaw Wickles
|Biting plants and bubbles in the greenhouses.
|Hogwarts - Greenhouses
|March 12, 1995
|Watch For
|Dancing Neville & Star Trek Herbology
[HGW] - Greenhouses
The Herbology classes of Hogwarts are taught in a series of greenhouses located out off the main courtyard. From the outside, these greenhouses look like any old greenhouse you would find in someone's garden. The structures are made from glass and metal, of course they are magically enhanced to prevent breakage as well as controlling the inner temperatures. Depending upon your class year depends upon which greenhouse you study in. The contents of these rooms almost appear normal, save for oddly colored foliage that occasionally try to teeth on passing students. Tables and shelving units containing the smaller plants are set up in neat rows, while larger plants occupy corners in their own pots and personal space. Some of these errr, miracles of nature are quite volatile. Arranged down the center aisle are a series of tables for students to work at.
The warm shelter of the Hogwarts greenhouses is where Neville has neatly tucked himself away, his coat, scarf, and mittens discarded at the entrance, along with the slumped bookbag on the floor. The fourth year is amongst the rows of plants and foliage, slowly drifting in a melodic, timed, beat. Neville Longbottom hums to himself, striking up a song as he dances and tends to one row of vividly colored stalks of bamboo-like brush.
Neville is not alone, though, being Sunday afternoon, it isn't as though any classes are scheduled. The warmth and the greenery have drawn another Herbology-loving student out to the greenhouses. Jax's presence is announced first by a flurry of soap bubbles — as vividly-colored as Neville's plants — that shimmer and glitter in the light with magically-enhanced brilliance. The tiny firstie follows soon after, dancing, as well, in time with Neville's quiet humming. He has a bottle of Muggle bubble solution — the bubbles enchanted to lend them extra color and sparkle — in one hand and the wand in the other, waving it to let more bubbles form as he moves.
Neville leans forward, as he bounces to the next clump, this one a silvery blue sort of color, and clips them at an angle near the top. Neville pauses, pushing a vial to the cut edge and letting the electic blue liquid pour in. He fills up three more vials in return before setting them down and moving to— "Yahh!" Neville yelps as he catches his first glimpse of Jax, scooting back to bang into the tables behind him. The plants on those tables stir, clicking their sharp, green teeth at the too-close student.
Jackson squeaks in startlement and whirls around, bubble solution splashing out of his bottle and onto the ground as he blinks at Neville in surprise. "Oh! /You're/ singing, it isn't the plants at all — oh dear. Oh, dear, please don't get eaten." His brow creases at the plants' snapping teeth, and he skitters around to the other side of the table, waving a hand at them to try and distract them from Neville. "M'sorry, I didn't mean to scare you at all or nothin'. It's just usually empty around here."
Neville breathes heavily, his chest rising and falling under his scratchy sweater. "Oh… I…" he stammers, finally becoming keen to the sounds of the danger behind him. Neville turns, grimacing up at the barred plant mouths before whipping his wand out and jabbing forward, tapping their stalks right where an adams apple would be found on any human male. The plants immediately go limp, hanging uselessly, though they still snap and hiss. "It's all right," Neville says to the boy. "I startle easily."
"Oh, /neat/!" Jax's eyes widen when Neville tames the snapping plants. "That's so cool! What are these? I don't know them yet. How'd you do that?" He leans juuuust a little closer to peer at them, curious but cautious. "An' that's okay, I do too — or at least I forget where I am and then /everything/ feels startley." The chattery first-year's accent is an awkward blend of English and American-Southern. He blushes faintly, scrubbing the heel of his hand against his cheek. "I'd'a gone somewhere else to dance if I knew I'd be interrupting only there was /humming/ and I thought maybe it was a plant so I wanted to find it."
"Well," Neville begins, looking at the boy with a new curiosity. "These are Snap-Jaw Wickles. They go limp when you jab the Wickle seed, right there in their stalk," the fourth year points at the lump just under their wide, leafy mouths." He perks with a smile, delighted at the other boy's interest. "There is the Talosian Singer. It's a plant with icy blue leaves. It'll sing if it's not being disturbed. But they're awfully rare. I don't think Hogwarts even has one. Where are you from?"
"That's too bad — a singing plant would be lovely. I wonder what it'd take to cultivate them around here." Jax scurries back around to Neville's side of the table to get a better look at the seed, eyes widening with fascination. "Cool! I'll have to remember that. I bump into things a lot. That could be dangerous around here!" He screws the cap back onto his bottle of bubbles, and rocks back on his heels, his smile bright as he looks from the plants back up to the older student. "I live in Brighton, now. My pa's American, though, I usedta live there." He peers at the Wickles curiously. "What are these used for, d'you know?"
Neville realxes, stepping away from the plants and attempting to tug Jax back a little bit. The reason why is that slowly the plants begin to stir once more. "Oh, America? Never been," Neville admits with a shrug. "They're, um, used for that same seed. When they're fully mature you harvest the seed and it's wickedly useful in potions. Or so I'm told. I'm trash at potions."
Jax takes a hasty step back when the plants start moving again, though he still watches them thoughtfully. His nose crinkles slighlty at the mention of potions. "Can't hardly blame you," he says with an easy laugh, "the potionsmaster can be a /little/ intimidating." He hooks a thumb into the pocket of his jeans, and turns to face Neville. "I'm Jax, by the way."
Neville thrusts a hand out. "Neville," he greets back. "Or just Nev, if you want. Nice to meet you." Now Neville beams a bright smile. And enemy of Snape is a friend of his! "So you like Herbology?" he wants to know eagerly. "It's my best subject."
Jax unhooks his thumb from his pocket to shake Neville's hand, his grip firm, and returns Neville's smile with an equally bright one. "I love Herbology. I was born on a farm — Muggle, though — so I've kinda always loved things that grow. S'really neat getting to know how to care for /magical/ plants now, too — an' all the magical stuff that regular old muggle plants are useful for." His head tilts curiously. "What year are you? You seem to know bunches. I'm only just learning — it's all so fascinating."
"Fourth," Neville replies with a nod. "Herbology is a pretty important skill. Witches and Wizards need at least some plantlife in their houses. Plants for burns and injuries, or cooking, or well, just about anything!"
"And potions," Jax agrees with a nod, "for all that some'a the Slytherins look down on Herbology." He takes a few steps back to lean against a /different/ table (after checking to make sure that the nearest plant on it — a small bush with fluffy pale-yellow leaves — isn't about to try and bite him.) "I think eating's the best part of all that, though," he confides cheerfully. "I mean, without plants we couldn't have /pie/, an' /then/ where'd be the point in life?"
Neville laughs, moving on after Jax. "Slytherins look down on a lot of things," he remarks with a chuckle. "It takes a real wizard to see the use of herbology. At least, that's what m'Gran told me. But then again, she might just be trying to make me feel better. It's not as flashy or exciting as Transfiguration or Charms."
"Don't gotta be flashy to be important," Jax replies, shrugging a shoulder. "Nobody could get anything done at all without it, really! Anyway maybe other folks just don't got enough patience for making things grow." He uncaps his bubbles again, blowing a stream of them towards the Wickle plants to watch them snap from a safe distance, now. His lips quirk into a crooked grin. "'sides, I like it out here. Some days I'd much rather deal with sharptooth plants than some people, anyway. People are scarier."
Neville leans against the table, his elbows resting to the wood as he watches the plants growl and snap at the little, colorful soap orbs. "I think I'm with you on that," the boy agrees to Jax. "But hey, if you're interested in Herbology, I'd be willing to come in here on Sunday's and teach you some new stuff. You'd probably knock Professor Sprout clean out of her socks."
"/Really/?" Jax's eyes light at this offer, excited. "Oh, /wow/, that'd be /aces/." His grin stretches wide and his gaze flits from the bright bubbles to Neville, grateful. "I'd love that — Y'sure you don't mind?"
Neville can't help but laugh. "Aces," he repeats, amused. The boy fiddles with his left ear, watching another bubbles life end at the snap of a Wickle. "Oh, I don't mind at all. I'm in here every Sunday just about anyways. I'd enjoy some company."
Jax bounces slightly on his toes, his nose crinkling with the wideness of his smile. "/Cool/," he chirrups eagerly. "Thanks!" He leans back against the table, blowing another stream of vividly-colored bubbles towards the also-colorful snapping plants. "Next time maybe I even won't startle you. My teeth are /totally/ less scary than theirs anyway."
Neville grins slightly, pushing himself off his lean against the table row of small, fluffier plants. "If I know you're in here, then I won't be frightened. It was just… you know. I was humming and—um…" Neville scratches the back of his head. "Dancing."
Melissa lets herself in, waving a bit to Neville and Jackson. "Oh, hi," she says. "I didn't expect anyone else would be in here!" She trots up to see what the boys are up to.
"I was dancing! Cuz there was humming. Dancing's what you're supposed to do when there's music," Jax replies cheerfully. "Sometimes I just can't help it — Hi!" He waves to the other first-year as she enters. "It's turning into a party in here. And it's normally so quiet! We have bubbles," he tells Melissa, with a smile, "and also plants with snappyteeth. They like the bubbles, too." He gestures in indication as the Wickles snap at another of the bubbles.
Neville is still scratching his head as Melissa comes in. "Oh, hullo," the fourth year greets with a small smile. "A party of sorts. Guess the greenhouses are popular today." Neville turns towards his work he was doing before the interruption, sorrting the wide variety of vials he has collected from the colorful bamboo-ish plants in the older-year row of the greenhouse. Each vial is filled with a vivid color, and Neville begins to sort them.
Melissa nods, giving a bright smile. "Oh, bubbles… that's nice," she says. "Um… what was I here for again? Oh, that's right…" She moves down one aisle and checks the tags against her notes, occasionally jotting something down.
Jax watches Neville work with interest, paying close attention to his sorting. He flicks an occasional glance after Melissa. "What /are/ you here for?" he wonders conversationally. "I was here for dancing, but I found Neville instead, which turned out to be cooler /anyway/. Did you know there's a plant that sings? Not at Hogwarts, though. Yet."
Neville glances over, scooting the array of orange vials together in their right place. He can only snuffle a laugh at Jax, warming up to the first year with great ease. "A Talosian Singer," Neville reminds.
Melissa looks up from her notes. "Oh, Potions," she says. "We were supposed to identify some of the ingredients out here. Hmm, Talosian Singer? That sounds a bit sci-fi," she adds with a giggle. She finishes her note taking than moves back to the others. "Why are you coming out here to dance?"
"Cuz it's quiet and empty," Jax says, and then laughs as he adds, "Well, /usually/. And the plants are friendly except the ones that bite, and it's warm, and peaceful, and I like dancing." His lips purse thoughtfully. "That's six reasons. Is that enough? I don't like even numbers. I should make it seven. — It's Sunday, and I'm done all my homework." He nods to himself, satisfied with his number of reasons, now. "A Talosian Singer," he echoes, "an' I'm /totally/ going to look them up and talk to Professor Sprout and see /just how much/ work it'd take to get a really rare singing blue plant to take care of out here."
"No, it's 'sian', not 'scifi'," Neville responds, completely missing the meaning of her remark. But by the time any explanation can be made, the Gryffindor fourth year is already back at his work. "You should look at the Wickles, then. I was just pointing them out to Jax."
Melissa smiles a bit. Sometimes she forgets that being half-blood lets you understand twice the pop culture references. "Oh, where are those then? Are they interesting?"
Jax points towards the sharp-toothed plants that were snapping at his bubbles, where they sit on the table behind Neville. "They have tempers! But Neville taught me how to make them stop snapping for a little while." He points a finger at the seeds that sit below the plants' jaws, but his attention span doesn't last long enough to give more of an explanation than that. He peers at the colorful vials that Neville is filling. "What are /those/ for? The plants are pretty."
Neville glances down at his work, looking at them proudly. "These are pigment shoots! One drop of this liquid can turn anything you want into the color it is. /Anything/, so you have to be careful. If it splashed on you just a bit, you'd turn green as a lizard or as yellow as butterbeer. It's mostly used by wizard tailors and it crops up a good price. Professor Sprout is trusting me to gather it all for her."
Melissa looks at them with interest. "What, all over? That'd be so funny to see!" she says. "What are you going to use them for?"
"Anything?" Jax peers at the vials with interest, looking from one color to the next. "Could you dilute it an' use it for hair dye?" he wonders excitedly. "Cuz that'd be way cool! I'd make my hair purple. Or pink. Or blue. Or all those!"
Neville steps back from the small vial. "Yeah, I bet you could," the boy says after a moment of thought. "But if you do it, I had /nothing/ to do with it, all right?" He looks to Melissa, smiling at his crowd. "Not sure what the Professor is going to use them for. Perhaps she'll sell them to raise some money for some more rare plants. Like the Singer!"
Melissa grins. "Oh, that'd be great!" she says. "I think I'd like to hear it…"
Jax grins and draws an X over his heart with a forefinger. "You had nothing to do with it. Got it." He eyes the vials, bouncing slightly on his toes. "Well, we can ask her about it. The Singer, not the hair-dying. I'd totally be willing to help out with fundraising efforts to get more awesome stuff in here."
Neville smirks, nodding at the crossed-heart. "Don't get your hopes up, though. That's a rare, rare plant." He starts to load up the vials into a shelf nearby. "Did you need any help with your homework?" he shoots at Melissa.
Melissa shakes her head. "No, I'm all right. Thanks though," she says to Neville. "Well, if any place deserves a super-rare plant, it would be Hogwarts… we're probably the best school there is anywhere!"
Jax squints at Melissa uncertainly, and laughs. "Have you been to many other schools?" he wonders. "I think your sample size is prob'ly a bit small to judge that. — This place /is/ totally /way/ more awesome than either of the Muggle schools I been to, though, that's for sure. We didn't get to /fly/ at those."
Melissa grins at Jax. "Oh, you're right," she says. "I guess it's just pride talking. It is a lot more fun than Muggle school though… though mum wouldn't want me saying that, she's a science teacher."
Neville looks to Melissa, curious as well to Jax's question. "What are muggle schools like?" the boy suddenly wonders. "My friend Brian is Muggleborn, and I don't know much about the whole… lifestyle."
"I guess they can be fun sometimes, but there ain't no magic," Jax says with a wrinkle of his nose. "No brooms, no wands. Just lots of books. We didn't have a greenhouse or anything, though I guess some richer schools do. Just — go to school, sit through six hours of classes, go home. I did like art classes, though, /that/ was fun. I love painting. But our paintings there don't move."
Neville looks simply amused at the thought. "They don't move?" the boy wonders with a click of his tongue against the roof of his mouth. "That's /weird/. I guess an art class wouldn't be so bad. I've been thinking about joining the music club."
"Don't move at /all/! And we don't have classes like potions and transfiguration and things — just math and English and computers and science and —" Jax laughs, head shaking. "Magic totally goes against everything we learn in science, though." He shrugs, and rocks back on his heels again, looking up at the roof. "Anyway, I've gotta get going — I'll see you next Sunday?" He grins at Neville and waves to Melissa before skittering off.
Melissa waves to Jackson as he leaves. "Well, it helps to know both magic and science, I think," she says. "Sometimes they work well together, even. But it's a bit of a rocky relationship!"
Neville looks at Melissa much like a deer into headlights. The lost boy silently nods and sets the last vials onto the shelf. "Well, that's all sorted. Professor Sprout'll be pleased!" He turns his head, glancing out of the greenhouse. "Oh. I should probably get back in for that study group in the library. You'll be okay out here by yourself?"
Melissa nods. "I think so, but I'll probably head in anyway," she says. "I've done what I needed to do."
Neville moves to the table by the door, gathering up his coat, scarf, and bookbag. "All right. I'll see you around," he departs with a wave, back into the frigid winter air.

Recording Session with Jose Maldonado
photo by Josh Cadwising
Interlude by blackpiano
Jose Maldonado (singer of The Sweet and Tender Hooligans) has been one of my great supporters from the very beginning. I can't thank him enough for all the encouragement and opportunities he have given me through radio play and inviting me to take part in the Sweet and Tender Hooligans Shows last May on Morrissey's birthday. Months ago, we decided to do a cover of Interlude by Morrissey and Siouxie. I put the backing track together ahead of time and then recorded Jose at the Indie 103.1 studio in LA after we did the Breakfast With The Smiths radio show. Here it is!
I also did an impromptu recording of Jose playing his guitar and singing whatever songs came to mind. I took them home and added my vocals to them a few weeks ago. I think they came out great as well!

Sabrina Friel and Kathy Bradley.
So now onto our challenge. Frances has another challenge for us this week. Most of you probably know that Frances lives in Australia! Well it's a special day for all Aussies today as it is Australia Day! It is on this day in 1788 that the First Fleet arrived at Sydney Cove. This day is special to them, just like the 4th of July is special to those of us who live in the USA!
The challenge is Aussie related today. Here are a few options that Frances has given us … use the colors green and gold on your card; create a beach scene (we love our beaches); use Australian Animals; Thongs (you wear on your feet btw) or anything else that you think would relate to Australia!.
I chose an owl, by Hampton Art, Frances loves owls and there are owls in Australia. The paper is by K & Company, the ribbon was off of my Christmas present this year and I just happened to come across it when I was putting my card together, that worked out well. I used a three different spellbinders sets and sponged the clouds with bashful blue ink.
We would love for you to join us for the challenge. You can upload your card to CCEE Stampers blog.

I know you guys are probably tired of these threads but I need some input.
I have narrowed it down to the Kona Unit 2-9 and the On One Inbred. I would be buying the complete versions and putting a on a Reba fork.
Out of the box which bike is lighter? Anyone know the actual weights?
Which has better components ignoring the forks.
I would have to get the On One from their website but I can get the 09 Unit at a LBS for 820 shipped.
Help me make this decision...

Is Selling in Crisis?
…or is it just me? There is a well-understood phenomenon in population dynamics whereby a "natural population increase" occurs when the birth rate is higher than the death rate. Around the world, death rates gradually decreased in the late 19th and the 20th centuries, with death rates in developing countries plummeting after World War II

The world of journalism clickbait is hardly hush hush. In fact, those formulaic headlines are spectacularly dominating your newsfeed with Upworthy-esque titles like If You Could Save a Baby Seal Every Time You Took A Shit. Would You? Because That's Now Possible.
Seeing a brilliant opportunity here, Jason Mustian ushered in Fapworthy — a highly NSFW site that brings together Upworthy-style titles with a tasteful selection of PornHub's best. The tongue-in-cheek captions range from the suspenseful, She Thinks It's A Normal Bus. Wait Until You See What Kind Of Bus It Really Is to headlines that will leave you an emotional wreck, At 1 Minute I Laughed. At 2 Minutes I Cried. At 2 Minutes 10 Seconds I Ruined A Perfectly Good Pair of Sweatpants.
Created in conjunction with Pornhub, the links will lead you to very real porn hosted on their very NSFW site. Just a reminder since you've probably already opened a dozen tabs by now.

Message from Kalibo Reformed Bible Church
"I form light and create darkness. I make well-being and create calamity, I AM THE LORD, who does all these things." (Is. 47:6)
15 November 2013
Pastors and Brethren,
First, I would like to apologize for sending this letter only this time, as there is difficulty sending wire through the net. Also, after the typhoon, our immediate task was to assess the situation by going the rounds to see what happened to members and their houses.
All souls were accounted for; there were no reports of injuries sustained by any member. For that we are very grateful to the Lord our Preserver. Another thing we are thankful to the Lord for is that the typhoon did not bring with it too much water and mud. Nevertheless, the landscape was one of rubble and ruins more than I could have conceived before; but unlike during the typhoon Frank in June 2008, we did not spend time clearing mud, though the volume of debris from broken trunks, felled trees, blown away roofs, collapsed houses, and strewn wires from electric poles, were more than what typhoon Frank left. Because of this, the skyline received more than its fair share of light and glare, as a result of trees and bushes torn, if not snapped, from their trunks. Volumes of leaves blown away rendered standing trees shorn of their green.
When we made the rounds later, and also due to communications coming from members, we found out that four (4) houses of our members collapsed; while another five (5) houses were partially damaged.
As some of you may have been made aware already, the church building – built of light materials – was struck hard by typhoon Yolanda, as what happened to innumerable structures and houses also made from native materials. The roof of the church building was blown away to the adjacent lot because of the very strong winds – the strongest so far I've witnessed in my entire life. As a result, the whole structure was rendered weak when the wind blew the roof off snapping in the process all the bamboo posts from where they were planted; because of this, the whole structure leaned – if you're facing the church premises from the street – to its left. So the following Sunday we gathered at another place for worship.
The elders of the church praise God for the spirit of the members – especially those whose houses were damaged; though, at first, shock overwhelmed them, the clear teaching on the sovereignty of God, that God is the author of this calamity, gave much comfort to them, especially, in the light of other passages (especially Rom. 8:28) that show that God will definitely do good to His people, despite the seeming incomprehensible disaster that struck us. Yes, there were signs of sadness; but I thank God, as an elder of this church, there was no sign of bitterness in their hearts. The messages were centered on hammering the sovereignty of God over these things. We are blessed, indeed, for knowing that God sends these things, not out of caprice or whim, but – and we are sure about this – to do what is good (best) for His people at this time.
Another cause of praise is the immediate response of brethren from other places; having known that there are many who would want to help, and exerted much effort to communicate with us, strengthened the hearts of the brethren here – I know of a member who was moved to tears knowing that brethren from other places are willing to render aid.
Earlier this day, I got information from a staff of the electric cooperative here that 140 posts (which include those in the province of Aklan) were felled or snapped, so that it will take at least two (2) months before our province could be re-energized.
I've tried to attach pictures to this message, however, the line is slow in transferring them from the files to this letter. The brethren could view the pictures by going to the facebook account of our member who is presently studying in Los Banos, Laguna. Her facebook account is novelyn revesencio.
For the moment, we would like to solicit your prayers and help for the following:
1. That the lives of these members would return to normalcy soon;
2. That the houses of members could be rebuilt soon, so that they will be able to return to their normal way of life;
3. There are members who really need help, at least financially, because they have to face two things: their collapsed houses and their livelihood;
4. The safety of everyone during nighttime because total blackout is a convenient cover for criminal activities;
5. That we will be able to worship comfortably in our present worship place, and that the visitors who regularly visit us will not be discouraged from attending (as the alternative place of worship is some kilometers off from the present site, and transportation fares slash sizably their already meager budget);
6. And in relation to this, that God would provide us with the finances to be able to rebuild the worship place with stronger materials, since we expect that this phenomenon will become the new 'normal' for the coming years. Also, the church finances will not sustain a prolonged lease of worship place;
7. That God will give wisdom for the elders on how to distribute aid to needy members.
We seek your prayers, most especially, for the whole church to mature more out of the spiritual exercises that this providence brought us to. Our hearts also go out to the brethren and the people in Leyte whose houses and livelihood Yolanda ravaged, not to say the least thousands of lives perished.
In behalf of the elders and brethren,
Ptr. Andy Ingente

Giant Tits BBW Porn Queen, Samantha 38G, Enjoying a Huge Black Cock
damn guys, you know I've been a fan of Samantha 38G for fucking ages, and on top of regularly enjoying her mind blowing webcam shows, and following her official website, I still get super excited when I see her new, unseen scene on some other website.. now, when I was blogging about the incredible EvilAngel.com mega porn website, I told you how this website is a "hardcore porn fantasy place where all these porn bitches are getting fucking destroyed by some of the biggest, toughest, and roughest cocks out there".. I also told you about the fact that all their new scenes are full HD quality, that all the pornstars featured there get nailed like you haven't seen them getting nailed before, and that pretty much every niche you can think of is covered there.. well, Im happy to tell you that recently they added something for BBW loving guys, by uploading HD quality scenes from "Evil BBW Gold" DVD.. and among other giant heavy tits sluts that are getting dick smashed there, there is a scene with our Sam 38G, getting her brains fucked by Sean Michaels' huge black cock:
now, if you know anything about Samantha38G you know that other than having some of the biggest fucking tits in porn, she's also a very sexual lady that clearly loves sex and is doing porn out of pleasure (if you ever had a private webcam show, you know EXACTLY what Im talking about).. it's not uncommon for her to squirt few times in a scene, to reach orgasms like you've never seen, or to hear her scream and moan louder than you could ever imagine.. so, once she got her skilled hands and enormous natural tits around Sean's huge cock, you could clearly see she's switching from "busty play doll" to "dirty fuck slut mode", and enjoying every inch of it in front of EvilAngel.com cameras.. and to be completely honest, she's not the only one that got fucking smashed by a huge cock in front of their cameras, and loved it.. if you check pretty much ANY UPDATE over @ EvilAngel.com, you'll see all kind of babes, taking parts in all kind of dirty porn activity, and fucking loving every second of it.. hardcore porn has NEVER been more hardcore than this!
BooB ON!!!

Only Blowjob presents: A talented and pretty masseuse detects something that she really, really likes as she goes through her paces on a client. Peeking underneath the green towel that lays across his midsection, sweet Nesti sees that Timo's tool is what she most wants to massage, and not just with her hands. She may indeed start by rubbing her panty crotch across his meat as it lays hidden under the towel, prior to peeling down her panties so that Timo can give her some well-deserved licks; but when things get truly serious, she rubs oil on Timo's shaft and, as she lets him lap her labia in a sixty-nine, applies her mouth with lusty intensity to every shiny inch of his dick. This petite babe looks so fetching with thick man-meat stretching apart her delicate mouth, as her red-polished fingertips grasp it just above the balls and guide it into her face. As the tight slit of her shaved pussy lays exposed to our horny eyes below, she slurps his nuts and sucks him deep as he lays her back on her own massage table so that he can power his prick into her mouth. Her ultimate reward is a very photogenic frosting of spunk all over her face, which she shows off to us with a lovely smile! show more

One of the key requirements of a flexible Issue Tracker is that of allowing users to customize terminology to match the organizations terminology.
Sure, Gemini uses commonly used, if not universally understood terms such a Project, Component, Version, etc.. But this is not always the way teams refer to such concepts. Maybe "Module" is what you mean by Component? Or if you are running an Agile / SCRUM project, Version means Sprint or Product Backlog?
What happens if the Issue Tracker is being used in a IT Support / Call Centre scenario? Maybe "Business Unit" or "Product" are better labels for what we call Projects?
We built Gemini with terminology customization in mind: give users the ability to customize any on-screen label to match their business terminology. This also meant that our underlying approach required no technical dependency, skills, or any other competency: users should be able to open up a file and just change what they need to change. But wait. What happens when we release a new version of Gemini and users had changed all on-screen labels before? Do they stand to lose all their amends? Not so, read on…
We use XML files to store all our taxonomy (a.k.a. terminology). These XML files are located within the Gemini Web Application and are organized by language code:
Each folder contains two files:
- Resource.xml — holds all Gemini strings localized
- Override.xml — contains strings changed by users
Our XML files are simple to understand and change:
In essence, if users want to customize a string:
- Copy the original string from the Resource.xml file and place it into the Override.xml file.
- Change the string in Override.xml as per your requirements.
In the above example, the word "Delete" has been replaced with "Remove".
Furthermore, Gemini Web Services can also retrieve the localized XML files thus allowing other applications to use the same taxonomy as used by Gemini. This is primary reason why we do not use the native .NET RESX format for localization: Gemini has to interop with with different technologies, platforms, and with quick amendments in mind.

Anyway, moving on...
However, we still intend to do the extension one day, so I had to consider that with every pound spent in this makeover. Well, almost every pound - I needed to have a bit of fun too! This is not our 'forever' kitchen, so I couldn't justify spending as if it were - much as I might have liked to. The aim was to make it more liveable and a lot more loveable in the meantime, but working with what we already had - without replacing anything major like the units or worktops, and without moving radiators or plumbing etc.
|Not long after we moved in with white units and laminate floor
|The kitchen in Home magazine back in 2011
|A rare shot of the dreaded pink floor and the bench unit nearly finished before I decided to move it!
I posted my moodboard back in June last year, and I think I've stayed pretty true to it which is kind of surprising considering how prone I am to changing my mind, though there has been the odd change and addition - the flooring being one of them.
|The floor being ripped out! Hooray!
|The new 'Indus Concrete' laminate
|Baxter 'helping' me by adding as many spacers as possible!
|Finally making progress, but this was the easy bit! Before grout obvs!
|Reclaimed sink and tap and the open shelf that used to be a plate rack, with bronzed mirror splash back
I then changed the floor plan and moved the bench seat to the opposite wall, but it didn't fill the whole wall, there was a 35cm gap which looked bad, so we added a little box to the end of it which acts as an end table and bookshelf. I just picked up a piece of 'extreme marble' for the top and I love it!
• Sanded and oiled the worktops.
• Change the worktops
• Replace the oven and hob with an all in one cooker that doesn't require the awful and very odd bit of raised worktop as demonstrated currently. I mean, really?! This is up there with some of the stranger things the previous owner of our house did. But until we do the 'forever' kitchen or it dies (she says hopefully), this will sadly stay as is.
Oh, and there's one more thing I'm planning on doing in here to add a bit more glam. But you'll have to wait for that post. The devil's in the detail!

I've started a new series!! As you may have noticed by now, I tend to go through phases. The longer this blog is alive, the more categories will appear on the sidebar – I like to keep it fresh.
This new series is titled "Relation + Connexion". So there's a physical connection, a relation between one and another, but there's more to it (it goes deeper than skin)! I already have a lot of ideas and drafts in progress for this series that have a little less to do with physical contact. But for the kickoff, yes, they will mostly be focused on the physical side. Prepare yourselves. Love is in the air. 😉
I'll be reposting these later (full size), along with the rest of the sketches that I've been working on, but here is a little sneak peak of the first four that got me started:
So this is the beginning of another journey! I'm excited to share my drawings with you as they come to me. I've received so many notes of encouragement and I just have to put out a big "THANK YOU" to all my loving and supportive family and friends!! I love you all so much and appreciate all you have to offer and say! Your lives are an inspiration to me and my art: you keep me growing whether it's in your critique or your compliments. 🙂
I do believe I am happy with this new start…

$575,000 Colt for Shanghai Bobby
Exciting young sire Shanghai Bobby made a big splash at the 2016 Keeneland September Yearling Sale on Tuesday when his colt from Coolwind sold for $575,000.
Offered by Blandford Stud and bought by Mayberry Farm, the star colt is a half-brother to Grade III winner Looking Cool from stakes-winning Forest Wildcat mare Coolwind.
He was bred by Padraig Campion, who was delighted with the result.
"This one is a good advertisement for his sire," he told Bloodhorse Daily.
"He's got the balance and the class. He's been shown 90 times a day for four days and he's still willing, walking without any urging."
Shanghai Bobby also had a good result with a colt from Disturbingly Hot selling for $250,000.
