Up NextMusic for Saturday
Up NextCelebration of Praise
When David was in the pasture with a flock of smelly sheep, I wonder if he ever dreamed of being Israel's king someday. Or what about Joseph? I wonder if he thought, "Someday I am going to be second in command of Egypt," or if while Abraham waited for a son, he dreamed about how he would be the father of an actual nation. Maybe like Joseph, you feel you are trapped in a jail cell; maybe like David, you feel as though a "King Saul" is after you. Like me, are you thinking, "What is God's dream for my life?" Are you just trying to get through school or pay rent this week?
In my individual experience, God's plan for my life was never what I had dreamed it to be. To put it frankly, I have dreamed too small, and maybe, you might have done the same.
Let's think about Jeremiah 29:11 which says, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" I have seen this verse quoted on high school graduation cards. Jeremiah 29:11 is a Scripture that is often misquoted; we really shouldn't take a verse out of Scripture without considering its context. God is talking to Jeremiah: someone who lived in a time of exile. In their exile, the Israelites were being ruled by the foreign nation of Babylon, suggesting many difficult trials and tribulations. This declaration in Jeremiah is a message to the people of Israel regarding their exile, which was to last 70 more years. Yes, you heard that right . . . seventy years longer! Some people don't even live that long! Sounds like prosperity and success, right? Said no one ever . . . not really what I would call an encouraging Hallmark card. Still, through this declaration, the people of Israel received hope because their exile was sure to end; maybe not in their lifetime, but in the lifetime of their children.
This reminds me of the stories of two people: my mom and a friend.
Firstly, my mom dreamed of being a missionary. She still dreams of teaching the Bible vocationally; however, she stayed home to raise my siblings and I. Her dreams switched— and little did she know, she would someday influence me. My most major growth has taken place because she took her time to teach me the Bible. Today, my husband and I are in vocational ministry because of the amazing legacy she started. I will be forever thankful.
Secondly, I have a friend whose life has been really hard. Just when life seems to give her a break, another family emergency seems to arise. She has so many amazing and beautiful dreams, but not one has seemed to happen for her yet. I am constantly wondering, "why God?" She shared with me just this week about how thankful she is that her family is the first to receive salvation and redemption out of both her and her husband's family tree. Her tone and the look on her face showed me that she was considering how much bigger God's dreams must be for her, as compared to her own limited dreams for herself.
The reality is, we don't know the blueprint of God's will for our lives but we can be confident in knowing that His plans are much bigger than our own dreams. His dreams are so much bigger and better because He is going to use our lives. The biggest mistake we can do when we quote Jeremiah 29:11 is to make that verse about ourselves. It isn't about us . . . Jeremiah 29:11 is about God who is giving an entire nation a bigger picture for their future. Whatever "jail cell" or "exile" you feel like you are in the midst of, God will use it to glorify Himself, which might not happen in your lifetime. To quote John Piper, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him."
Don't forget to dream. Dream Big. But always remember that God will out-dream you. He's got a wonderful plan for your life. He will use your "exile" moments to reveal Himself to others. God has bigger dreams for your life, and they are not just limited to yourself.

Home of the original 1-piece variety bucket
Clocking in at 11 years on the circuit, Sacramento post-hardcore outfit Dance Gavin Dance have been one of the most prolific and energetic bands in recent times. Their fusion and knowledge of different genres has been one of the bands unique selling points during their tenure in the scene, and new offering Mothership utilizes the groups intense back-and-forth between their vocalists over tight, sometimes funky instrumentation.
For fans, this LP has plenty to celebrate. For starters, it's a milestone for a band that has famously suffered with various line-up changes – Mothership marks the bands first time releasing three consecutive albums in a row without any personnel changes, and many would argue that this has helped the band hone their sound over the last few years.
the Mothership is wonderfully weird
Secondly, it's incredibly vivid and bright. The dramatic performance from lead singer Tillian Pearson, the now-familiar schizophrenic (and comically nonsensical) screams from John Mess, the razor sharp production that enhances the frantic guitar playing and drumming – it's all here. It's nothing the band haven't aimed for before, but it seems that DGD have mastered their craft to the point where they feel comfortable with experimentation.
Experimentation that sees a flute-driven introduction on the delectably funky Young Robot, falsetto passages on Deception and a ridiculous short auto-tuned rap verse on one of the records strongest tracks, Chocolate Jackalope. The albums lead single, Betrayed By The Game, is a steadfast homage to what Pearson can achieve with his voice, complete with a sharp guitar hook and a crowd-pleasing chorus. Throw these in with satisfyingly gnarly freak-outs from growler John Mess and the impeccable lead guitarist's (Will Swan) signature solos and grooves, and Mothership manages to hold itself as one of the most interesting and bombastic rock records of the year.
It's the bands creativity and ridiculousness that may become an achilles heel, but DGD shouldn't care. People just passing by and looking into the windows of this record will no doubt be put off by the unorthodox lyrics and certain sonically spastic moments, but Dance Gavin Dance are a band for the fans – and the Mothership is wonderfully weird.


text: Persuasive Essay Topics: How To Select A Good One In a persuasive essay, your job as the writer is to convince the reader that what you say is correct. If someone already has firm views on a subject then no matter what you say they are unlikely to change their minds, but the audience you are trying to reach are the ones who aren't sure. For these people you need to present your argument and provide strong supporting evidence in an effort to sway them to choosing your side. With this audience in mind, you must forget your own reasons for why your argument is correct, you must offer evidence as to why your reader should think the statement is right. This means knowing who is likely to read your work and what they want to hear to convince them. To put it simply a good persuasive essay states what you must do, why you must act, and finally what you will receive from performing the action. What must you do? For instance you want people to do something Why must you act? Because it is the only possible ethical thing to do What will you receive from this? The pure knowledge that when people do the right thing the streets are paved with gold Well not really the last, but in non-academic style writing you are allowed to use hyperbole to convince people. Just look at all the political writing throughout history. What makes a bad essay? Not getting into your readers' mind set Parroting ideology rather coming up with an original idea Writing only to people who already agree with you Placing your answer in thesis statement instead of building up to the conclusion What make an excellent subject idea? Appeals to logic and reason Appeals to emotion Convincing the reader you are an authoritative figure Use a specific case study and use that to make your general case Make a general statement and then support it with specific facts Some ideas to get you thinking Are competitive team sports good or bad for children? Is modern society too addicted to technology? Teenagers should start their school day later, because of natural sleeping cycles Now we all use computers is it worth bothering teaching even basic handwriting? Could schools benefit financially from allowing corporate advertising on campus? Teachers would work better if they wore a uniform With the rise of electric cars carpooling will make more sense

We went Strolling in the Merry, Merry Lane
Nice day and jolly well time I was out for some fresh air. When was the last time you took me out mom? Must be 87 months ago. I really missed seeing the neighbourhood. Woah, look at that veggie garden in the front lawn. Shoko would never be in the garden. She's afraid of zombies around the front. She only spends a very short time at the front door and then whips around the back. Interesting, he has pumpkins growing under the corn…..they are rather small though. I wonder? Maybe we can try this next year. I'll tell Shoko about this. Speaking of Shoko where is she?
Let's go up the Lane mom and see if she's hanging out there. There she is…Hi, Shoks! Shhhh..Kali, I'm stalking a mouse…well he hit the road now. Sorry Shoks, that was poor manners on my part. I should have examined the situation but I was just so darn happy to see you. Come for a ride with me…it's neat.
Kali quit hissing at me! Well, don't stand on my back then…I'm not your stepping stone…..geez. May Thursday bring you peace.
Artsy, Fartsy Caturday with Kali
Once again it's time for Athena and Marie's Caturday Art. Click on Athena's joint and see the fascinating anipals.
Kali is posing within a Passion Flower mom grew one year. She is a pretty gal…shh…don't tell her I said that or she'll get all uppity and want more treats.
Mom used Corel Photoshop to make a mess out of Kali. MOL She hit the Textures mode and tapped Solid Stone… Not so uppity now are you Kali? You look like a pathway rock in the garden. MOL Gotta love ya Kali. MOL
Let's Take a Walk Through Friday
We got up and had a hearty play with mom. It's fall and so our tunnel came out of hibernation. Kali was all eyes, to see what we were doing. Chip has been trying to get the little pebble to open up and tell us her name. She really wanted to get back into the oregano so Chip and mom decided it was ok. It might get her to talk. This oregano is very good. You spoke! What is your name? My name is Sky. Sky? Yes, mommy and daddy were kinda like rolling stone rocks. Daddy's name was 8-ball and he was always behind in well, everything. He was so loveable though. Noone could get angry with him. Where is your mommy? Sky screws up her pebble face. Never mind, if talking about her upsets you. Where is your daddy? He moved on to find his fortune elsewhere? You don't sound like you're angry with him. Mom told me that he probably would leave so I was prepared. They chattered on for a bit and then Sky went off to sleep.
Cow-Kitty has been absent for about 3 days. Well today he honoured us with his presence.
Dad called Felix and this is the shot he got. Felix was trying to get away…fast. Dad changed his tactics and called him Cow-Kitty and this happened.
Then Cow-Kitty decided to enjoy a snooze on Shokali Island.
Tomorrow is Artsy, Fartsy Caturday at Athena and Maries blog. It is also Talk like a Pirate Day so my costume will reflect the day. Click on Athena and Marie's blog and be transported to their blog and enjoy viewing the anipals.

The SPB Anniversary Show is happening at the end of *this week*!!! It's happening at the Sunset Tavern on Friday, June 29 with a bevy of fine Seattle pop bands: Sgt. Major, Dept of Energy, Shake Some Action, The Small Change, Andy Werth and The Knast. The whole thing starts at 9pm on the nose. So, don't be late!
In today's edition of the countdown to the show, I decided to focus on the venue itself. I really like the Sunset. For my dollar it's got the best combination of quality sound system, good bar, and cool vibe. I was tickled pink to be able to book the anniversary show there.
A yelp.com user named Mel R. described the venue thus: "My god, I've died and walked into a cheap Chinese whore house!!! In other words-heaven! It even came complete with hanging lanterns, fuzzy red damask wallpaper, a collection of disco balls and plenty of seating."
I've hijacked a number of photos from around the web to share with you here. Apologies to those sites from whom I'm stealing.

Happy New Year! Here we are at the dawning of another brand, spanking new year!
The new year offers us a fantastic opportunity to rekindle our hope and enthusiasm for our lives. It is a new beginning. The turning of the calendar offers us a chance to start again and reach for our dreams... one more time.
Something about a fresh start gives us renewed energy and enthusiasm. The blank slate of a new year is a perfect opportunity to toss out our past mistakes and mis-steps and start again.
One of the best ways to launch a new year is to set some goals for your life. I am a firm believer in the process of setting one's goals on paper. I do a fairly elaborate goal setting process each and every New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
I set goals by category. I use Jack Boland's Master Mind Goal Achiever's Journal for my goal setting process. Although Jack Boland made his transition in 1992, you can still get the journal each year through the church he founded - The Church of Today (now Renaissance Unity) in Warren Michigan: The Store @ Renaissance Unity.
Here are the categories that Jack encourages us to use for goal setting:
Personal Relationships
Things you want to do
Things you want to have
Things you want to be
I have seen miracles happen when people write their goals down on paper. Sometimes things are written and the person has absolutely NO idea how that could ever possibly come to pass. I have had so many people call to tell me how excited they are when something on their goal list has come to pass when they really couldn't believe it was possible when they wrote it down!
I once heard Jack Boland say that if you aren't at least a little embarrassed by your goals that you just weren't thinking big enough!
Start 2009 by mapping out a list of goals for your year. Just set aside an hour or two for this process, write down those goals, and see what happens to you! It will change your life!
Happy New Year!!

GuocoLand unveils Tanjong Pagar plans
It posts net loss of $13.3m for Q3 due to higher project construction costs
[SINGAPORE] Despite what has been described in some quarters as onerous property cooling measures, GuocoLand is upbeat about the prospects for its first integrated mixed-use development, located above the Tanjong Pagar MRT station.
Slated for completion in 2016, Tanjong Pagar Centre is an integrated development comprising Grade A offices, residential apartments, a luxury business hotel, retail space and a sheltered event space in Tanjong Pagar City Park.
With floor space totalling 1.7 million sq ft, the project will feature Guoco Tower, a 38-storey Grade A office block, six levels of retail and food and beverage (F&B) space, as well as a luxury business hotel.
TP180, which will feature fewer than 200 apartments ranging from one- to four-bedroom units and penthouses, will sit above Guoco Tower. This will be the tallest residential block in Singapore, starting at 180m (equivalent to 50 residential storeys up), and reaching up to 290m.
GuocoLand aims to launch its residential component in the second half of the year.
The retail mall, which is about 100,000 sq ft, will focus on F&B outlets and comprise high-end restaurants, trendy bistros, affordable eateries and, potentially, a food court.
It will aim to be a one-stop convenience spot for people who live and work in the area, said Trina Loh, the group managing director, GuocoLand (Singapore).
"What sets this apart is that the project caters to both the central business district (CBD) and the residential community within the area. Most mixed developments are in new areas, but this is in an existing community," she said.
The offices will feature large floor plate and column-free spaces of between 25,000 and 29,000 sq ft.
Ms Loh said: "Tanjong Pagar Centre signals a transformed portfolio for GuocoLand in Singapore. It will expand our focus on commercial properties in Singapore, and reaffirm our position as a developer of large-scale integrated developments here and in the region."
The group is on the lookout for more opportunities, although it will focus its attention on sites within the CBD.
"At this point, we will be focusing on the CBD because, for mixed integrated developments like this, it makes sense to be in the CBD. But we always look for unique features. In this case, we can build the tallest building in Singapore!" said Ms Loh.
Tanjong Pagar Centre is GuocoLand's first large-scale integrated mixed-use project here, but the group already has a portfolio of mixed-use developments in China, Malaysia and Vietnam.
The Employees Provident Fund (EPF), a pension fund in Malaysia, holds a 20 per cent stake in Tanjong Pagar Centre.
The project will be designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), which is behind buildings such as the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai and One World Trade Center in New York City.
Separately, GuocoLand announced that it had clocked a net loss attributable to owners of $13.3 million for the third quarter ended March, reversing a net profit of $162 million from a year ago. This was mainly due to additional construction cost recorded for Goodwood Residence and Sophia Residence.
Estimated completion cost for the two projects increased as a result of the change in projects' main contractors. Nevertheless, both projects remain profitable.
Revenue fell 12 per cent to $92.4 million from $104.5 million a year ago.
GuocoLand's counter gained 2 cents, or 0.9 per cent, to end trading at $2.28.
Singapore penthouse on sale for S$99 million, a test for luxury markets recovery
SINGAPORE The asking price for a new three-storey Singapore penthouse, complete with a private pool on the 64th floor, has reached a dizzying US$72 million (S$99.17 million).
Due to be formally unveiled later this year, Wallich Residences penthouse is in the tallest building in Singapore, the island of well-heeled stability that attracts the super-rich from its less-developed South-east Asian neighbours, as well as multi-millionaires from mainland China.
The bungalow in the sky penthouse in the GuocoLand -developed Tanjong Pagar Centre, is likely to become Singapores most expensive apartment. It will test the endurance of demand for luxury property in the city-state * the part of the market that has taken the biggest hit from measures aimed at cooling down property prices in recent years.
Prices for luxury homes in Singapore have fallen 15-20 per cent from a 2013 peak, according to JLL consultancy, part of the Jones Lang LaSalle global property services group. But JLL is now starting to see the prospects of a turnaround at least at the top end of the market and is forecasting a 3-5 per cent increase in luxury prices this year, citing demand from both locals and foreigners who feel the market is bottoming out.
JLL said the volume of transactions in the first four months of the year in Singapores core central region, which is popular among wealthy foreigners and includes the Orchard Road shopping area and Sentosa island, was 35 per cent higher than in the same period last year.
A lot of people think Singapore is value for money because its been downhill all the way - such a long winter, said Chandran VR, managing director at a real estate agency specialising in high-end homes.
Now they feel it is the right time to come in, he said. By contrast, he noted that Hong Kong apartment prices have been soaring, adding that sensible investors will come here, instead.
GuocoLand Singapore Group Managing Director Cheng Hsing Yao said buying by foreigners has picked up since the start of the year at the developers high-end Leedon Residence project, near the 150-year-old Singapore Botanic Gardens. GuocoLand is part of Malaysian conglomerate Hong Leong Group, headed by billionaire Quek Leng Chan.
In absolute numbers, it may not be that huge, but the ticket sizes are actually quite significant for some of them, Mr Cheng said. Some foreigners were buying homes worth S$8-12 million in the project, he said.
The recent tightening of property market controls elsewhere, such as in Hong Kong and Australia, has played a part in attracting foreign demand to Singapores luxury property this year, Mr Cheng said.
City Developments Ltd (CDL), one of the largest Singapore developers, also said the average sales price at its high-end Gramercy Park project has risen to more than S$2,800 per square feet in recent months, up 8 per cent from a year ago, and foreign buyers accounted for three-quarters of the project so far.
CDLs billionaire Chairman Kwek Leng Beng is a cousin of the Malaysian developer Quek.
Still, Singapores broader residential market remains subdued, having fallen for 15 straight quarters to log its longest losing streak since official records began in 1975.
We are forecasting for prices to come down between 1 to 5 per cent this year before reaching an inflexion point in 2018, said Eli Lee, an analyst at OCBC Investment Research.
While prices in Hong Kong tripled and Sydneys doubled over the past decade, Singapore prices rose just 29 per cent.
Singapore introduced property price cooling measures to curb speculation as did many other hot property cities in the region. While some measures were relaxed slightly this year, the authorities warned last month there would be no more rolling back for now.
Singapore is not short of policy tools to ward off speculators.
Most of the islands apartment blocks were built and then managed by the government, though the vast majority of the units have been sold to citizens. This allows it to keep control of some speculative activity, and therefore prices. Initial buyers of government apartments, for example, are largely prevented from flipping a property through a fast resale.
The high home ownership rate, at about 90 per cent, also makes it easier for policymakers to craft measures targeting speculative demand when the market is overheated.
All home buyers have to pay a stamp duty at a progressive rate of up to 3 per cent, but foreigners have to pay an additional 15 per cent for their purchases. Singaporeans also have to pay an extra stamp duty of 7-10 per cent when they make second and subsequent purchases.
With tightening measures taken in other countries, that could lead investors to shift funds back here. So we just have to watch that very closely, Ravi Menon, managing director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, said last month.
New home sales more than doubled in March from a year earlier, reaching their highest level in nearly four years.
And developers, led by Chinese companies, are paying record sums to secure land. Shenzhen-based developer Logan Property and its partner Nanshan Group recently paid a record S$1 billion at a government land auction. That was almost 50 per cent more than the previous record set in 1997.
The strong winning bid...signals developers strong confidence in the Singapore residential market and their belief that prices could return to growth soon, said Christine Li, research director at Cushman and Wakefield in Singapore. REUTERS

Welcome to my virtual home. I hope you enjoy touring it as much as I have enjoyed building it.
We all have hopes, dreams, wishes and prayers. At times, we may feel like no one (not even the Heavenly ones, let alone, the Almighty) is listening to them...but, rest assured, they are always being listened to and they 'are' answered--when the timing is right. WE may think that we know when the timing is right for us but we 'must' trust the heavens...they know much more than we do! We must be patient for this to take place, we must believe and trust in our heavenly ones, and we must 'never' stop praying...after all...if something is worth praying for then isn't it worth waiting for?
I have found that when I learned to listen with an open heart (instead of my selfish side) that alot of my prayers and wishes have 'already' come true. Try it...you may come to the same conclusion...(smiles)
I have found that everything, eventually ends up okay. If it's not okay, then it's not over yet!
-- Everything in life is a challenge...
-- Analyze yourself before criticizing others...
-- The mind is like a parachute ~ it only works whin it's open...
-- There is so much bad in the best of us ~ and so much good in the worst of us...
-- Everyone has an attitude ~ some good ~ some bad ~ the choice is yours...
-- It's choice ~ not chance, that determines destiny...
-- Control your own destiny ~ or someone else will.
--- "Talk the Talk"
I hope you have enjoyed my Home page.
There is more if you have time to continue.
If you don't have the time right now, never fear...
I will always be right here.
Your invitation is always open
and I am always just piddling around.
So, just stop by any ole time.
Ya never what new stuff ya just might find.
My personal prayer for each of you:
"May you always have a rainbow over your shoulder and may you walk in sunshine, forever." Smiles!

20 premium pyramid sachets per pouch.
Customer Reviews
I have tried this tea a few times. It has an unusual taste. I was motivated to try it because of the turmeric ingredient.

Frequently Asked Questions
Need some information? Browse the sections below for answers to our most Frequently Asked Questions. If you can't find what you need, please drop us an email using the 'leave a message' button or call us on 01765 824 050
Is your packaging recyclable? Am I able to request a specific product size?
Are your products free range? Do your products contain nitrates?
Do you deliver outside the UK? I have a gift code but it is not working
How long will my order take to arrive? Where do you source your meat from?
Are your chickens free range? Are your products gluten free?
How do you deliver? How many ribs are there in the forerib?
What is the difference between the tomahawk steak and côte de boeuf?
The box, wood wool and ice cells are all fully recyclable. However, it depends on your local authority as to whether they accept the Polystyrene boxes. Many of our customers have become quite creative with their boxes and have used them for many things including cool boxes, storage or planters. We are constantly reviewing our packaging as our business grows, to make it easier for our customers to recycle – a plastic-free future is what we're aiming for. We'll keep our customers updated as this develops.
Am I able to request a specific product size?
F&Co offer a bespoke cutting service. If there is something on our website that you like the look of, but require a different weight to the one advertised or you have read or heard about, then please do get in touch with us and we will do our best to fulfil your requirement. A £10 butchery charge may apply. Email us at email@example.com
The short answer is yes. Our meat is not your usual fare: from field to fork, everything has been crafted to ensure that you'll be getting the very best produce that money can buy. The heritage breeds that we offer are native to the British Isles and thrive by grazing in luscious pastures in the north of England, left to grow at their own pace. This is evident in the depth of flavour of the meat.
Do your products contain nitrates?
We are currently working on finding an alternative to nitrates, which are used in the lion's share of today's bacon curing processes. They are used to preserve the product. All ingredients can be found on the website by clicking on the "Product Ingredients and Allergens" tab on each web page. We will, of course, ensure our customers are updated on this development process.
Do you deliver outside the UK?
We do ship orders outside of the UK – including The Netherlands, Poland and France – but not yet to the USA. Shipments are subject to trading terms within your country. For international orders, we request an email stipulating the products required, along with the delivery address and instructions. We can then build a delivery quote and place the order for you. We use TNT as a courier and they operate a next day delivery service, subject to location.
I have a gift card/voucher but it is not working
If you are trying to enter a gift code and it doesn't work, we recommend, as a first port of call, that you refresh the web page. If this still doesn't work, then please do contact Customer Care on 01765 824 050 and we will be happy to help.
How long will my order take to arrive?
Our crafted Butchery is cut to order. Within mainland UK, the earliest arrival times are as follows:
Orders Placed Monday, Arrive on Wednesday
Orders Placed Tuesday, Arrive on Thursday
Orders Placed Wednesday, Arrive on Friday
Orders Placed Thursday, Arrive on Saturday
Orders Placed Friday, Arrive on Monday
Orders Placed Saturday, Arrive on Monday
Orders Placed Sunday, Arrive on Tuesday
Otherwise, we guarantee delivery within 72 hours and this includes the Highlands and Islands.
Where do you source your meat from?
All our produce is sourced from across the UK using the finest artisan farmers specialising in heritage breeds. These animals are reared on lush pasturelands and enjoy a high level of animal husbandry.
Our whole chickens are from Loose Birds and have a completely free range existence on a farm at the edge of the North York Moors. Individual cuts come from herb fed birds, who as well as being free range, enjoy a diet of various herbs which adds to their delicious taste.
Are your products gluten free?
All of our fresh meat produce is Gluten free. Our oven ready products, such as sausages, burgers and meatballs do not currently qualify as Gluten free. They are produced in a kitchen area where ingredients containing gluten are present, stored and handled, and are processed using the same equipment. Although we do adhere to a production schedule and clean equipment between the production of different recipes, we cannot eliminate the possibility that products may contain traces of gluten. Therefore, we are unable to declare any of our chef prepared products as gluten free, even if they do not include an ingredient that contains gluten.
We currently use DPD as our delivery courier. Your delivery will arrive in an insulated box, does not have to be signed for and will keep cool for up to 72 hours unopened. During the ordering process you will be asked to provide delivery instructions for the driver to deliver your order to should you not be home to accept it.
How many ribs are there in the forerib?
We work on the general basis of 1 rib to 1kg, so, for example, a 3.2kg joint will contain 3 bones, but sometimes 4, depending on the size of the animal.
What is the difference between the tomahawk steak and côte de boeuf?
Our Tomahawk Steaks have a longer bone than the Côte De Boeuf.

Belle River Water Tower, Ontario, Canada
Red White and Blue Paint. A story about a patriot.
When I was fourteen I had a date with an older boy of sixteen who lived at a cottage two doors down from ours. I played that summer with his two sisters and one day he invited me to see Dick the Bruser at a Wrestling Ring in Windsor. It was pretty cool, we were on TV and excited. After we decided to just be friends and not try to do the boyfriend girlfriend thing.
That summer this Detroit boy, (who's first name I've forgotten, but his last name was Gimelli) decided it would be very cool to paint an American Flag on the Belle River Water Tower, which he did in the middle of the night. Word of the vandalism spread like wild fire and we all went to town to stare at it. It was actually a pretty good job, and people stood around wondering how anyone could have painted such a large flag on the tower. And there to watch the reaction to his crime was the boy in his white Converse Sneakers, which were covered in red, white and blue paint.
Soon after his family was forced to sell the cottage and get out of town. I imagine today he is sitting in a jail somewhere along with other brutes, or possibly serving as an officer in the American Army.

People with type 2 diabetes often suffer from diabetic retinopathy, which causes tissue damage in the eyes and may cause vision problems or even blindness. Now, researchers in Spain believe Omega-3-rich fish oil may promote eye health and reduce the risk of developing the debilitating condition.
Using data from an existing study focusing on the benefits of Omega-3 in relation to heart health, they determined that people who consumed 500 mg of Omega-3 per day—about two servings of oily fish weekly, which is what the American Heart Association recommends—were 48 percent less likely to develop diabetic retinopathy.
"The incidence of diabetes mellitus type 2 is increasing, and therefore more individuals will suffer from diabetic complications which, if not properly managed, may lead to permanent eye damage. People should be aware that regarding diet, even small changes in the right direction can lead to substantial benefit for themselves," said lead author Aleix Sala-Vila in a recent statement.
Sala-Vila also pointed out that previous research has linked a diet rich in Omega-3 with eye health in general, along with a healthy heart and brain. Results of the study were published in the journal JAMA Ophthalmology.

Sep 24, 2014 Dylan Bozeman Tips 0
Whether you're looking for a used model because your child has just passed their test or even if you just fancy a change, this guide will tell you everything you need to know. It's important that you're careful whenever looking at second-hand models as it is possible to get a bad deal. In this article, we're going to provide you with some handy tips that are guaranteed to ensure you spend your money wisely. Of course, we can't cover everything here today, and so it's always a good idea to use some common sense. That said, the chances of you buying a dud are pretty slim if you follow our advice.
At the end of the day, you want something affordable and reliable, right? There are lots of cars available on the market today you could choose. It all depends on what you hope to get out of the vehicle. It's even possible to get a second-hand electric car if that idea sounds appealing. Likewise, high-quality vehicles like the Toyota Corolla come down in price considerably when you purchase used models. That should have got your attention being as they're one of the best selling cars of all time.

Without any more delays, let's take a look at some of the best tips we can offer…
Before you do anything else, it is important that you research your chosen model online. That is the only way of finding out about average prices, and any common issues the vehicle might experience. With that information, you should have the ammunition needed to negotiate a good deal. If you can find similar cars for lower prices online, there is nothing stopping you from printing out the information and taking it along to your viewing. The seller can't argue if you present them with black and white facts.
Presuming you're going to purchase a model from a second-hand dealership rather than a private seller, it's possible to research them online too. If they have a history of selling dodgy overpriced cars, you'll soon find people talking about it on the internet. There are lots of websites that publish reviews and testimonials from customers who've purchased from any kind of business. All you have to do is find the appropriate information and read through it. Of course, there are always going to be a few unhappy customers, but if they total more than 20% of all the reviews you read, it's probably a good idea to look elsewhere.
Some of you will be lucky enough to have friends with qualifications in car mechanics. Still, those who don't can still take one along for the viewing by having a word at their local garage. You might have to pay a fee for their time, but it will be worth the extra expense. Trained mechanics know all the tricks in the book, and so they are best placed to spot any issues or discrepancies. You should always listen to their advice. If the mechanic tells you not to buy a car, you will be a fool to go against what they say.
You should never purchase any car without first taking it on a test drive. Ideally, you want to let your mechanic drive the car for a while before jumping in the driver's seat yourself. Doing that will give him/her chance to make a proper assessment of the vehicle. If there are any strange noises like knocking or rattling, your mechanic will be interested in getting to the bottom of the issue. So long as the car provides a smooth ride, and your mechanic is happy, things should be looking pretty positive.
Some less than honest sellers have been known to alter the mileage displayed on their car's dashboard. That is called "clocking." For that reason, you should always make sure you check the amount of miles your chosen car is displaying. If it doesn't seem consistent with the age of the car, it might be worth performing a further inspection. Again, your mechanic will be in the best position to offer a conclusion. If it seems the seller is up to no good, you should walk away immediately. At the end of the day, if the seller can deceive you about one thing, who knows what else they might be hiding.
You should always ask to see all paperwork associated with a car before you shake on a deal. Even if the car seems perfect and your mechanic gives you the go-ahead, there still might be some issues you're yet to discover. At the very least, you need to ensure the registration number, and the chassis number match those displayed in the paperwork. Also, you should check the name and address of the current owner is the accurate. If you notice anything that looks dodgy, you should simply say your goodbyes and look for something less risky.
These days, performing an HPI check on any vehicle is as simple as entering a registration number into an app on your smartphone. Considering that, you should always perform a check before you hand over any cash. If you find out further down the line the car has outstanding finance, you could lose it. You could also lose all the money you invested. Some services allow you to perform HPI checks for free, while others charge a small fee. Whichever service you use, it's vital you get a check done as early as possible to avoid wasting time.
Now you've had time to read through all those tips, you should be ready to go out and find a good second-hand car over the next few days. As we said at the start of this post, there are a million and one ways sellers can deceive you, which is why it's important you always use common sense.
Good luck! We hope you find the perfect model soon!

History of the Rotary Club of West St. Louis County
Our club was first recognized by Rotary International in 1950 and was known as the Rotary Club of Ballwin.
Through the decades, the club has grown to include members from many of the surrounding areas.
In 1983 the membership of the Ballwin Rotary Club was significant enough to allow a new club to be chartered. On May 25th, 1983, the Chesterfield Rotary Club was chartered. In 2011, after a club revisioning plan was established, it was decided to modify the name of the Ballwin Rotary club to reflect the larger area we serve. On February 25th, 2011, the Rotary Club of West St. Louis County was officially recognized. The name change allows the club to grow with the area the club services. In 2010-11, the club was awarded the Presidential Citation with Distinction.
The Rotary Club of West St. Louis County service area includes the cities of Ballwin, Clarkson Valley, Ellisville, Eureka, Manchester, Valley Park, Wildwood, Winchester and portions of West St. Louis County.
The club meets on Tuesdays at noon at St. John Lutheran Church, 15800 Manchester Road in Ellisville, Missouri. If the month has a 5th Tuesday, that meeting is held at a different location. Check this website for the alternative locations.
The world's first service club was the Rotary Club of Chicago, founded February 23, 1905 by Paul P. Harris and three of his friends. The name "Rotary" was derived from the early practice of rotating meetings among the member's offices. Rotary International expanded and has grown to an association of over 33,000 Clubs located in more than 200 countries.
Each club meets weekly to determine its own service activities and began by focusing on communities in need and helping the young and the elderly. More recently, clubs worldwide have concentrated their efforts on the eradication of Polio, clean water, literacy, and drug abuse prevention programs as well as many other international and local projects.
Today Rotary is a growing organization of well over one million volunteer business and professional men and women united worldwide. Best described by the motto "SERVICE ABOVE SELF", Rotarians provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and build universal peace and goodwill.

Our Ongoing Commitment
Rotarians have not only been present for major events in history—we've been a part of them. From the beginning, three key traits have remained strong throughout Rotary:
We're truly international. Only 16 years after being founded, Rotary had clubs on six continents. Today we're working together from around the globe both digitally and in-person to solve some of our world's most challenging problems.
We persevere in tough times. During WWII, Rotary clubs in Germany, Austria, Italy, Spain, and Japan were forced to disband. Despite the risks, many continued to meet informally and following the war's end, Rotary members joined together to rebuild their clubs and their countries.
Our commitment to service is ongoing. We began our fight against polio in 1979 with a project to immunize 6 million children in the Philippines. By 2012, only three countries remain polio-endemic—down from 125 in 1988.
Rotary Club Proclamations From the Past
How Rotary Began
"WHATEVER ROTARY MAY MEAN TO US, TO THE WORLD IT WILL BE KNOWN BY THE RESULTS IT ACHIEVES. -Paul P. Harris
Our 1.2 million-member organization started with the vision of one man—Paul P. Harris. The Chicago attorney formed one of the world's first service organizations, the Rotary Club of Chicago, on 23 February 1905 as a place where professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas and form meaningful, lifelong friendships. Rotary's name came from the group's early practice of rotating meetings among the offices of each member.

I want to highlight the results of an informal survey and conect those results to a large survey that was conducted.
I want the reader to connect the dots between the two surveys and highlight the conclusion :
If commitment to the idea is not the problem, but ability is … leaders need help to not have their best people to become a statistic. Firstly it is a complete waste of human potential and secondly, it is a gigantic waste of money & time (which is money) that you may have, arguably ineffectually, already invested into your people.
50% of you responded.
62% of you wanted to invest that time to gauge that employee's awareness of self and their value to the organization.
A combined 27% wanted listen & learn from your high potential employees and to connect with them on a personal level to learn more of that employee as a person and what they face as they work to meet the company's strategic goals & objectives.
Passing on common sense and getting staff to take on a sense of responsibility to the organization was a concern of 10% of respondents.

Not that long ago, finding a .45ACP-caliber pistol with a double-column magazine and a manageably sized grip was difficult. There were the Glock 21 and the Para Ordinance wide-bodied 1911, but the grip on both of these is larger than many can comfortably handle—especially given the .45's relatively stout recoil that requires a tighter, more complete grip to control.
Then came Springfield Armory's XD with a much smaller grip. However, some shooters prefer a U.S.-made, metal-frame pistol without a lever-type trigger safety.
This opens the door for the SIG P227, which is only 2 ounces heavier than the polymer-framed equivalent size XD 45 (both with empty magazines).SIG makes seven variants of this pistol that principally differ with respect to grips, sights, slide length and metal finish. All models have a grip frame that can accommodate a 10-round magazine that fits flush to the magazine well. This article will address the P227 Tactical, which distinguishes itself from the other models because of its threaded barrel, suppressor-height night sights and a spare 14-round, drop-free magazine.
Gun Details
The P227 Tactical is a full-sized pistol made with an aluminum frame and stainless steel slide and barrel. The frame is made from an extruded billet (which is stronger than a casting), while the barrel and slide are machined from a single piece of bar stock. The only plastic parts on the Tactical are the grip and mainspring stop.It overall length is 8.4 inches, and not including the .7- inch threaded barrel extension, it's nearly the same size as a full-sized 1911. The Tactical is a traditional double action/single action with a frame-mounted decocking lever that safely lowers the hammer but keeps the pistol ready to fire in DA mode. There is no manual thumb safety, but when decocked, the Tactical can be safely carried in a proper holster with a round in the chamber, because the firing pin is blocked from moving forward until the trigger is depressed.
The Tactical and other full-sized P227s use the same slide assembly as the P220, but the Tactical's frame is slightly wider to accommodate 10 rounds (compared to eight rounds in the P220), which makes it more ergonomic. The Tactical has an undercut trigger guard that matches the shape of the guard on the P226 X-Five competition pistol. The frame is slightly shorter than the P220, which places the index finger closer to the trigger.
The Tactical uses SIG's Short Reset Trigger (SRT) that reduces reset by 60 percent over non-SRT models, according to SIG. This makes follow-up shots quicker and more accurate, because the trigger finger does not need to move further forward to rest the searing mechanism before being pressed rearward again.
My pistol has double- and single-action trigger pull weights of 9.4 pounds and 4.4 pounds, respectively, measured using a Lyman electronic trigger pull gauge. The double-action trigger stroke was smooth, and there was very minor creep in single-action mode and no discernible overtravel.
The Tactical uses a one-piece plastic grip with molded lugs (most handguns use screws) that securely lock it to the frame with no wobble or chance of screws loosening or rusting. A tool comes with the pistol that spreads the grip, allowing it to be removed. The surface has fine fissures for texture that help provide a secure, nonslip hold on the pistol but tend to retain dust and dirt (best removed with a toothbrush before they lessen the grip's effectiveness). Other grips from the P227 series made of wood or G10 will fit the Tactical.
"The Tactical is a high-quality build. It is easy to shoot well, is left-hand compatible and handles .45 ACP recoil much better than other pistols."
Range Time
The Tactical is an accurate and reliable pistol. The best five-shot, 25-yard groups measured 1.4 inches at the centers using SIG Sauer 200-grain JHP and 1.9 inches for both the Freedom Munitions 230-grain HUSH FMJ and Winchester USA 230-grain JHP. Other loads with hollowpoint bullets were also tested for reliability, with no stoppages for any of the 250 rounds fired.
The HUSH load shot to point of aim, while the SIG and Winchester loads printed 1.5 and 3 inches high, respectively. HUSH also shot at a lower velocity (-126 fps) than the equivalent-weight Winchester load. HUSH is made for suppressor use, and this lower velocity is by design, because lower velocity usually produces less muzzle blast, making it easier to suppress. HUSH also uses low-flash powder for night fire, according to Freedom Munitions.
Handling on the Tactical is very good, with easy-to-manage recoil—thanks to the grip and front strap checkering. The Tactical also has a smooth and light enough DA trigger stroke to put a quick, fairly accurate, first shot on target. Moreover, transitioning to SA fire with a short, light trigger stroke is not a hindrance once you practice. The smooth, medium-width trigger face also helps keep rounds fired in DA on target.
SIG Sauer DA/SA pistols are designed for right-handed shooters, so left-hand operation is imperfect—but not difficult. To decock the hammer or activate the magazine release button, use the trigger finger instead of the thumb. The mag release button is large, with a bevel to the front just for this purpose. To chamber a round from a condition of slide lock, rotate the left thumb over the top of the slide.
The fixed, high-profile night sights are steel and use tritium inserts surrounded by white circles. It's personal preference, but I find the white circles a distraction and prefer just a single night sight up front. Nevertheless, others might like the three glowing dots. The rear sight also reflects glare from the sun but is fixable with black sight treatment, which can be found online.
On the positive side, the sights are high and durable enough to allow racking the slide by catching them on a belt buckle or boot if one hand is incapacitated. They also are dovetail mounted in case drifting is necessary to sight-in. (If you do want to drift, use the SIG sight adjustment tool or the MGW Sight Pro, rather than the hammer-and-brass-punch technique that is imprecise and frustrating.)
"SIG Sauer DA/SA pistols are designed for right-handed shooters, so left-hand operation is imperfect—but not difficult."
Suppressor Fire With Obsidian
One of the more recent suppressor designs is the Obsidian 45 from Rugged Suppressors. The Obsidian is a modular, multi-caliber unit that can be used with typical pistol caliber rounds up to .45 ACP and subsonic .300 BLK. Using ADAPT Modular Technology, it can be configured into two lengths—8.6 inches and 6.7 inches—in only seconds.
This well-made suppressor is suitable for full-auto fire and uses removable baffles made from 17-4 PH stainless steel throughout, rather than non-hardened stainless steel followed by aluminum baffles. The booster spring is also stainless, instead of carbon steel, which will rust after running the can wet.
The Obsidian can be used with pistons made by SilencerCo, saving the user about $80 when changing to a pistol with a different barrel thread. The Obsidian also uses an O-ring on the piston mount to seal in gas that could leak from a slotted piston. Sound ratings from SilencerShop tests for .45ACP shot dry in full and short configurations are 129.3dB and 137.6dB, respectively.
"This well-made suppressor is suitable for full-auto fire and uses removable baffles made from 17-4 PH stainless steel throughout, rather than non-hardened stainless steel followed by aluminum baffles."
I tested the Obsidian in its long configuration. The Tactical functioned perfectly with the Obsidian, and the tall sights allowed an unobstructed sight picture. The Obsidian dampened recoil, as well as sound—as is expected from a suppressor.
"I especially like that SIG Sauer includes suppressor height sights with its threaded barrel pistols, because other gunmakers install a threaded barrel and call their pistols "suppressor ready" but don't install suppressor-height sights."
Point of impact did shift 3 inches to 7:00 at 16 yards but can be rotated to another position by rotating the piston. The Tactical also functioned when the pistol was pointed downward and shot with a loose grip; this is a critical test of the suppressor's booster mechanism. The modular unit also remained secured to the body of the main tube—thanks to the O-ring that Rugged uses to keep threads attached.
Using the suppressor, I experienced a significant amount of blowback on my firing hand but slightly less than when shooting the Tactical with a different suppressor. Blowback is to be expected with suppressor use, so be sure to wear safety glasses and maybe gloves if it is a distraction. Blowback also reflects the pistol's design, as well as the suppressor's—especially the timing of when the barrel unlocks from the slide and also where the gas escaping the chamber is directed. Also, hammer fired designs can send more gas rearward than striker-fired designs due to solid end caps on the rear of the slide.
Final Notes
The Tactical is a high-quality build. It is easy to shoot well, is left-hand compatible and handles .45 ACP recoil much better than other pistols. I especially like that SIG Sauer includes suppressor height sights with its threaded barrel pistols, because other gunmakers install a threaded barrel and call their pistols "suppressor ready" but don't install suppressor-height sights.
The spare 14-round magazine is also a plus for those who carry with a 10-rounder in the pistol but want more ammo at the ready.

'Relations between US and Russia could get even worse' - Russian Ambassador to the US
The lack of predictability with today's US authorities is one of the key problems of the relations between Russia and the United States, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said in an interview aired by the Rossiya-24 TV news channel. This was also reported by TASS News.
The diplomat also did not rule out that the bilateral relationship between the two countries could get even worse.
"Sizing up the situation, I have to say that difficult times are ahead for us, as we will have to live amid today's environment. We are not confident as of today that the relations will not get even worse," he said, adding though that the policy of "sanctions is going down the drain, but we (Moscow) are not afraid of sanctions," Antonov said.
Antonov considers the fact that the US colleagues are unpredictable to be "one of the main problems" now. "You do not know what will happen tomorrow, how they will behave," he said.
"On the one hand, obviously one cannot solve any global issues without us, which the US are aware of, but on the other hand, they are doing their best to make the Russian-US relationship even more complicated, in order to prove a stumbling block here, and halt the settlement of global issues, which affect the US themselves, I would mention international terrorism in the first place," the diplomat said.
Meanwhile, the ambassador considers it inevitable for the two countries to eventually enter into a constructive cooperation. "We are destined for cooperation with the US," he said, adding that "the two countries need each other."
Russia's government has developed a number of its own initiatives aimed at improving the relations between Moscow and Washington, Antonov said. "We have quite a few ideas how we could restore the dialogue between our two states," he said.

Recently the number of mobile users accessing wireless and mobile Internet services has been increasing spectacularly. The overall mobile data traffic is expected to grow more than 10 fold between 2013 and 2018 [1]. The spreading of high-performance smartphones and the rapid growth of embedded or mobile devices connecting to the Internet (Internet of Things – IoT) create serious challenges for the traditional mobile Internet architectures. The generic concept of Future Mobile Internet [2] has been recognized as a key solution for the aforementioned problems. The proliferation of heterogeneous and overlapping wireless access networks together with the evolution of distributed and scalable network architectures make possible to provide the next generation of ubiquitous and pervasive services. Due to the fast evolution of network and device capabilities, electronic healthcare (eHealth) services recently started to receive more and more attention within the above context, especially in the mobile Health (mHealth) use-cases. mHealth is a sub-segment of the eHealth field, aiming to use mobile devices, wearable or built-in sensors and wireless communication technologies to enhance traditional medical services. Mobile network technologies play an increasingly important role in mHealth systems especially in scenarios of tele-consultation/telediagnosis and mobile patient monitoring. Naturally, mHealth services require strict, medical level Quality of Services (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) provision. The real-time use-cases of mHealth services such as remote mobile patient monitoring and telecare, remotely guided surgical intervention etc. require even higher guarantees (e.g., small delay and jitter, fast response time, low packet loss etc.). A lot of mHealth scenarios rely on wearable body vital (e.g., ECG, heart rate monitor, ultrasound) or smartphone built-in sensors (e.g., high-resolution camera, gyroscope). The highly varying characteristics of different mHealth applications (particularly different real-time solutions) in means of the required network resources, QoS and QoE requirements invoke elaboration of advanced service provisioning frameworks highly integrated with the forthcoming distributed and scalable mobile architectures, which are able to dynamically and adaptively exploit all the available resources of the overall network environment.
In this thesis I present the design, implementation and evaluation details of an advanced, cross-layer optimized mHealth application framework accommodated to future mobile Internet architectures. The proposed framework is smartphone-driven, and comprises three main functional blocks. There is a flow-aware mobility management and decision scheme, which makes decisions about the optimal combination of different mHealth application flows and available network interfaces based on the QoS/QoE requirements of the sensor information flows and the current state of the available wireless networks. This decision engine relies on a distributed data collection and reporting system (Distributed Decision Engine –DDE) [3]: this second block manages all the context information of mHealth services provided by different layers (e.g., network and application layer or user preferences), measured by the end user terminals or by the network. The third functional block is the multi-sensor manager application, which handles sensor connections, and collects/aggregates real-life sensor information. All of these main elements are integrated in a cross-layer optimized manner, such creating a highly adaptive mHealth application framework for Android-based multi-access smartphones future mobile Internet scenarios. The validation of the proposed integrated mHealth solution was performed on a real-life testbed environment.

Washington state collected a total of $367.4 million in legal marijuana income and license fees in fiscal year 2018, all but $5.4 million of it from the state's marijuana excise, or sales tax. The data are in the Liquor and Cannabis Control Board's FY 2018 Annual Report (p. 15).
The report also shows that the marijuana revenues were $157 million more than that of liquor, and that the marijuana excise tax income to the state for fiscal 2018 of $367.4 million grew by almost $50 million from the prior year.
Revenues collected by the Liquor and Cannabis Board from legal cannabis taxes, license fees, and penalties are distributed as follow, according to the report:
- General Fund – $198.9 million
- Basic Health – $117.4 million
- Cities, Counties – $15.0 million
- Education, Prevention – $36.2 million
- Research – $1.1 million
- Other – $20.8 million
According to the state's marijuana data dashboard, the state collected $120 million in marijuana excise taxes in fiscal 2018, which ended June 30, 2019.
RCW 69.50.540 sets the template for allocations of state spending funded through marijuana sales taxes and licensing fees.
Nearly half of all marijuana revenues fiscal 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 went to the Basic Health Plan Trust Account.
That account is described by the Office of Financial Management as providing "necessary basic health care services to working persons and others who lack coverage, at a cost…that does not create a barrier to…utilization …"
