When Terry Randall (Katharine Hepburn), an aspiring actress from a wealthy Midwestern family, arrives at the Footlights Club, a modest New York boardinghouse, she is greeted by a bevy of world-weary actresses and chorus girls. Terry's haughty manner and highbrow tastes immediately alienate her from her fellow "troopers," who pride themselves on their sharp wit and down-to-earth style. Particularly leery of Terry is her roommate, Jean Maitland (Ginger Rogers), a wisecracking dancer who resents Terry's lavish wardrobe and judgmental attitudes.
Because of her dubious liaison with theatrical producer Anthony "Tony" Powell (Adolphe Menjou), a notorious womanizer, Jean also dislikes another housemate, the sophisticated Linda Shaw (Gail Patrick). Loved by all of the women, however, is Kay Hamilton (Andrea Leeds), a high-strung but dedicated actress who, although receiving rave notices for a play that she had starred in the previous year, has since been unable to find work.
In spite of the pleas of her father, Henry Sims (Samuel S. Hinds), to return home, Terry vows to remain in New York and make her way as an actress. Meanwhile, Jean is spotted during a dance rehearsal by Powell, who arranges an audition for her and her partner Annie (Ann Miller) at a nightclub.
Later, Kay faints in Powell's theatrical offices after she learns that the producer has refused to see her. Furious, Terry bursts into Powell's office and berates him for his callous indifference. Unmoved, Powell dismisses Terry but, when he is approached later by a man representing a potential backer who has made casting Terry a part of his offer, he agrees to star her in his next play, Enchanted April.
Powell then invites Jean to dine with him at his penthouse and, to spite Linda, Jean accepts. As predicted by Linda, Powell shows Jean photographs of his young son and estranged wife, plies her with champagne and delivers a "poor little me" routine to seduce her. When Jean slips into teary, drunken babbling, however, Powell sends her home, where Terry puts her to bed with sisterly care.
Later, Powell invites Terry to his penthouse and tells her that he wants her to star in Enchanted April. During their meeting, Jean storms the apartment and indicts Terry, who acts coy in order to save her roommate from Powell's unscrupulousness. Although suspicious of Powell, whose pose as a married man she quickly exposes, Terry accepts the part, unaware of the backer's request.
Although Kay is stunned when she learns that Terry has been cast in the role she has longed to play, she bravely blesses her housemate's debut. In spite of Terry's insipid acting during rehearsals, Powell keeps her in the show and braces himself for a flop. On opening night, Kay advises Terry on how to play the difficult opening scene; then, after Terry has left for the theater, Kay jumps to her death.
At the theater, Jean accuses Terry of pushing Kay to suicide, and Terry, dazed with guilt, struggles to make her entrance. At last finding inspiration from Kay's tragic sacrifice, Terry gives a moving performance that touches even Jean. For her curtain call, Terry pays homage to Kay and earns the forgiveness of Jean, as well as the approval of her father, who reveals himself as the show's backer. To Powell's disgust, Terry abandons the opening night festivities and, with Jean, says "goodbye" to Kay.

text: It's no secret I am in love with barns, in a post I wrote a couple of days ago I confessed my dream of living in a barn. Now I want to share with you some more photos of barn related inspiration for having a country barn wedding. For me, barns are the perfect balance, they offer open cathedral like space with a beautiful rustic atmosphere. I've always stated that I want to get married outside and not in a church (I'm not religious so I would feel it hypocritical, and church weddings are boring and over rated in my opinion) so having a ceremony in the barn provides shelter to take away the worry about what the weather is going to be like, while still having that sense of being outside and in the country.

I'm still trying to do too many things, and along the way I've been losing things. To try to keep up better, I've started a Twitter feed for short references to articles and similar things.
You can see it in the left column of the front page of the site, on its own page, or, if you're on Twitter, you can follow @livingindryden.
Eventually I need to capture and archive it, but the infrastructure for this site is already creaking fairly loudly.Posted by simon at February 6, 2013 8:35 AM in

We had a very nice turn out for our first year at Route 65 Classics. There were about 70 units in all. That would be tractors and trucks. We even had a member who brought a couple of big stationary engines. You will see them starting one in the video. We also received some positive comments about the show being on a weekend other than Father's Day.
It was another nice turn out for our second truck show at Route 65 Classics. There were almost as many units as last year. The skies looked a little threatening but the rain held off.

Spring Snow (In the Next Galaxy, Copper Canyon Press, 2002)
Rain of remembering;
late snow turning to rain.
Then in the cold house,
alone in bed,
the soft stutter on the roof,
random phrases; your voice,
only your voice. How can
it be that voice that touched
me everywhere?
And what you said,
if only I could hear it again
in its intensity.
Essence distilled
in the moment of waking,
the delicate mold and odors
of the breaking apart of winter,
in the soft snow that comes
between the past and the chill
distillation, the whisper of air
split between the perfume
of melting crystals; the clasp
and letting go.
"Yes–the springtimes needed you.
Often a star was waiting for you to notice it.
A wave rolled toward you out of the distant past,
or as you walked under an open window,
a violin yielded itself to your hearing.
All this was mission.
But could you accomplish it?
Weren't you always distracted by expectation,
as if every event announced a beloved?"
from Duino Elegies by Rainer Maria Rilke,
translated by Stephen Mitchell
"Highway" by Faiz Ahmed Faiz
A despondent highway is stretched,
its eyes set on the far horizon
On the cold dirt of its bosom,
its grayish beauty spread
As if some saddened woman
in her lonely abode, lost in thought.
In contemplation of union with her Beloved
every pore sore, limbs limp with exhaustion.

Kim and Kanye spotted an ice cream shop in Paris and impulsively decided to indulge in cones. As they walked out they were surrounded by paparazzi and fans, but managed to maintain their blank expressionless faces – even while enjoying ice cream! Judging by the fit of her jeans, Kim should have gotten a smaller scoop- it looks like her denim might explode with the addition of one more calorie.

Wow, America is Trillions of dollars in debt. I'm sure Kim and Kanye have asked to be paid in Euros rather than the worthless American Dollar.
The Obama's want you to focus on Kim and Kanye so you can forget the fact that you are on Food Stamps and get your groceries at the Food Bank.
See what happened to Detroit? This is only the beginning. China Owns America. You let it happen.

It's sad a white woman would inject her butt with foreign matter to turn on black men. Kim is walking around in tight jeans and the most ugly shaped ass I've ever seen. It would be different if her rear end was shapely and attractive, but it's atrocious! She really has a disgusting look ass even for black men. Kanye must be smoking crack with Lamar. Khloe had the same procedure and her ass is f*cked up too.

For a woman who is photographed every day of her life, it is hard to believe that she would
end up marrying a "sour puss grumpy old dude"
like Kanye West who appears to have issues with
the press. I know that her family has made him welcomed, and treat him like a member of the family,but marriage to him seem like a whole New definition of marital bliss. Just Saying!!

I wanted to do something a little girly (in my own way). Girly does not flow easily for me so believe me when I say this was a challenge! I am not a flower kinda gal, in fact I do not have much in my stash, maybe that is why I don't use 'em?? Anyway I created this for the sketch and had to compensate for a lack of Flower raw material!!
The photo is of one of my nieces which was taken a while ago.
I used a new damask stencil from ScrapFX (such a beautifully detailed stencil) with some texture paste on the background then got a little messy with the Lindys stamp Gang Sprays and Mica powders.
With the lack of "flowers" situation, I had to be a little inventive and had to cut them out. This paper is MME but an ancient line that I fell in love with many moons ago!
So there you go, a Girly page at last! Cannot say it was an easy ride but I had to challenge myself and the job is done!
Thanks for popping back to take a peak!
Stay Happy everyone,

Faith. Love. Hope.
These are words I heard all of my life but I did not really feel their true meaning until my son was born 18 years ago. Now, they are my motto that I try to live by every day.
What we did not know at the time of his birth, but soon began to realize, was that something was wrong. Over the years the depth of his complications and the challenges they would bring to him and our entire family would begin to unfold layers at a time. Bit by bit.
Almost immediately after he was born, we realized my son, Zack, was a very challenging baby. He did not cry; he screamed. He was incredibly difficult to take care of and soothe. The difficulties are too extensive to divulge here in this short post but can be read in depth on my blog.
As he became a toddler, he began to have lengthy rages sparked by the most minor incident. His unpredictable rages could, and would, last hours. They would begin in a flash and he would literally turn into an unrecognizable child. Then when they were over he would return to a sweet, loving, and remorseful little boy. He also began to focus on strange things. For example, all of the toilet seats in the home had to be put down. He would go around the house several times a day checking them. He would only drink from one cup and eat on one plate. These are typical behaviors of those with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder but I couldn't help but wonder – so early?
My sweet son has been dealt quite a full deck of difficult and challenging "disorders," classified as neuropsychiatric illness, better known as mental illness. Unfortunately, he is not alone. Millions face these same demons. For my son, it is believed there was some brain damage either in utero or at birth (most likely at birth since we know the birth itself was complicated) that led to these complications.
He was also a very sick baby with chronic ear and strep infections that at some point most likely brought out his OCD at an early age. This phenomenon is called PANDAS, or Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections. The term is used to describe children who have OCD and/or tic disorders such as Tourette Syndrome, and in whom symptoms worsen, or appear almost overnight, following infections such as strep throat and Scarlet Fever.
Zack was officially diagnosed with PANDAS after he had another strep infection in the fifth grade that induced acute onset of tics that were severe and difficult to manage. He also struggles with some learning disabilities, anxiety, depression and has sustained three head traumas.
After years of chaos, destruction, tears, questions and uncertainty along with the constant search for help and answers, we finally were given some answers to his erratic, unpredictable behavior and mood swings. We finally connected with a wonderful specialist who has now been treating Zack for 14 years.
But the strain of raising a child such as mine is monumental on a marriage and family. Throughout the years, I spent countless hours reading, researching, and obsessing over finding out what was wrong. When he was a toddler I attended several parenting seminars led by specialists that I felt surely would have that magic answer for what was wrong and how to fix it all. How to make the raging stop, how to make him sleep, how to be…calm. I read book after book. I tried every sensible and outlandish suggestion they all had. Nothing helped and nothing worked.
I think even more frustrating was that my husband, though supportive, did not have the same passion as I did for finding an answer. I would leave books out with highlighted text or other documents with similar cases and ask him to read through it. He never did. I also tried to be the authoritarian, trying to set rules and limits, while my husband did not. We disagreed, argued and yelled.
Despite the constant chaos, I wanted another baby. I figured it was already difficult, so another baby could not be any worse. No baby could possibly be as difficult as Zack. After a year and half of trying, and loosing two babies, our beautiful daughter Kelsie was born. We did not find out with either child what the sex was. When she was born and they told me she was a girl I cried. I was so relieved it was not another boy because I was so afraid it would be like Zack. I knew I would not be able to handle that. Thankfully, she was a wonderful baby, easy to sooth and slept and napped easily. I think God knew I needed that because Zack was still so hard to manage.
"I have been fortunate enough to have the ability to be Zach's main caregiver while working part time jobs (as a counselor, personal trainer and patient advocate) off and on when I am able to. But being his 'person' is a huge responsibility."
It is she, Kelsie, who I think has suffered the most, aside from Zack. We – his parents – love him, support him and wanted him. She was brought into this chaos by us. Her life has been greatly impacted by the constant needs that Zack places upon me and my time. I have been fortunate enough to have the ability to be Zach's main caregiver while working part time jobs (as a counselor, personal trainer and patient advocate) off and on when I am able to. But being his "person" is a huge responsibility. At 18-years-old, he is still very needy and functions mentally about at the age of 14. He is very immature, very emotional, and very dependent despite our attempts to encourage him to become more independent.
Some days Zach is like most other kids his age, but most days he is not. It is those days – the days he is raging, screaming, yelling, crying, throwing things – that Kelsie cannot forget. The days her friends are not allowed to come over because her brother acts crazy. The vacations we could not go on because her brother was too unstable. The family outings ruined because of his poor functioning or rage that came from no where. She carries anger and resentment as a result of his many problems and illnesses and struggles with depression and self esteem issues because of this unpredictable, dysfunctional life we live. She feels that she always comes in second and caring for her brother comes first.
The damage done to a family while raising and loving a child with such complicated and chronic issues is unfortunate. Living in such a high stress, chaotic atmosphere affects everyone. We do not survive day by day, but minute by minute.
"Living in such a high stress, chaotic atmosphere affects everyone. We do not survive day by day, but minute by minute."
Medications have not been very effective in helping him become stable or remain stable. He – or more accurately, we – have enjoyed some periods of stability which we learn to appreciate. Over the years Zack has made some great strides and progress but his future is uncertain. Our hope is that he will eventually be able to be self-sufficient, which was part of the reason we have created his business – Good Boy Roy, an online store that sells merchandise with his drawings and characters. The dream is that it will enable him to do what he loves and be able to financially support himself someday.
Today, my husband and I continue to do the best we can for both of our children – Zack, who is now 18 and Kelsie, 14. I am told a marriage that has lasted as long as ours has (21 years) in the midst of this kind of circumstance is almost unheard of. Somehow we are able to laugh – a lot. At the end of the day, these are my children. My heart. My family.

There's a pretty special boy in Oregon who has one of the coolest Halloween costumes around.
Daniel Shaughnessy is massive Darth Vader fan and force was definitely with him - and his wheelchair - thanks to a pretty awesome non-profit.
The 8-year-old is battling brain and spinal cancer, so the folks from Magic Wheelchair turned his wheelchair into Vader's TIE Fighter.
The feat took about 200 hours to create.
"There were definite tears! Definite tears. And being able to see the look on his face when they took the cover off, and he got to see it, was amazing!" said Daniel's mom, Jessica Thomas.
Perhaps the one difference between Daniel and the famous star wars Sith Lord was the big smile he had as his costume was unveiled.

Back in 1994 Sir Michael Latham published Constructing the team a – review of procurement and contractual arrangements in the UK construction industry. He highlighted the need to improve the link between design and construction. Two decades later, thanks to the efforts of the first chief construction advisor Paul Morrell, it is finally happening and one of the drivers for change is the adoption of BIM, a technology that is making building design more of a team approach.
BIM is allowing the complete building to be reviewed at the design stage, identifying areas of design conflict and allowing them to be resolved before construction begins. In this blog I take a look at the changing dynamics of the design team and what this means for the product manufacturer.
The Architect:
The role of the architect is still important, although today it is often the case that he does not have 'absolute' control over design. Traditionally he or she acted as the node between the client, main contractor, specialist contractor and others with responsibility to ensure the right products are selected and installed correctly. The architect will develop the buildings' design, taking the client's brief and combining it with the advice of consultants. With the use of Design & Build, PF2 (also known as PPP or PFI) and BIM the architect's role is evolving from construction team leader to an important member of the team.
Architects are often 'small businesses' so are time poor and consequently hard to get hold of. Think carefully about how to communicate with the Architect, choosing your channels of communication carefully and presenting the appropriate product information in an easy to access format.
Incorporating BIM into your specification sales strategy is important, providing BIM objects for the design team means they have a greater understanding of the product and how it works in the design overall. All of this makes the architects life easier, as well as saving time and money.
The Engineer:
When we talk of specification selling there is a tendency to think of just the architect, but the engineer is an equally important specifier, whose role is increasing in importance. This is because of the growing complexity of the legislation which is pushing almost every aspect of a building's design, causing architects to rely even more on the engineer.
Very often they will focus on performance specifications, leaving the specialist contractor to decide on the materials to be used. They will, however, continue to oversee the work and ensure that items perform as planned. So they also have an influence on product selection.
Like architects, what engineers want is good quality technical advice. It is also important to remember that specifiers in general are short on time and will not respond well to 'spin'. What specifiers want is technical information and advice, they will be happy to deal with a manufacturer or supplier who can provide good quality, comprehensive information on demand.
The Main Contractor:
The role of the main contractor will vary depending on the type of contract selected to deliver the project. If Traditional, then the main contractor's role is to build what the architect designs; if Design & Build or PF2 then the Main Contractor will also have responsibility for design. In both cases the Main Contractor influences product selection. In the case of Traditional this will take the form of advice to the Architect. But in D&B or PF2 the Main Contractor may even provide the Architect with a list of approved materials to select from. In this case it will be the Design Manager who will understand the Client's needs and then brief the Architects.
"With earlier engagement from Contractors, there will be earlier procurement, with greater activity at the front end of the construction process." David Philp, Head of BIM Implementation, Cabinet Office
Although every commercial organisation has an eye to profit, within the Main Contractor organisation there are other influencers who have other priorities. The Estimating Department want to know about the compatibility and availability of products, the Contract Manager will be interested in sub-contractor familiarity and minimising disruption to the build programme. And the Design Manager will be interested in the most efficient solution to provide a first class outcome. By understanding these needs and offering solutions which represent value it is possible to reduce the influence of price.
As with all specifiers, Contractors do not want to be sold to. They want to deal with technically competent people. They are looking for design advice that is accurate and reliable. The Contractor is looking for quality, price, availability and then technical support.
Other Influencers not to ignore:
Most organisations' specification sales effort tend inevitably to focus around those most visible when it comes to product selection. The other members of the team receive much less attention. For example, what about the specification writer? There are specialist organisations who take on this role on behalf of the architect. They focus on the detail of specification writing to produce robust and unambiguous specification documentation, allowing the architect to concentrate on design. Another important role is project management, often delivered by the quantity surveyor.
In addition to specification writing and project management today's QS will provide advice in areas such as procurement, value engineering, infrastructure and sustainability. This makes them an important influence in decision making.
When it comes to sustainability we are also seeing a number of professions claiming this as their expertise. The building services engineer probably has the highest profile in this area, but the quantity surveyor too, is laying claim to this expertise.
Specifiers need to be aware of the changing relationships and roles within the team responsible for creating a building. Any manufacturer creating demand through specification selling needs to be aware of these relationships and promoting the benefits of their products to all of the decision makers in the design team. Reviewing your specification strategy on a regular basis is essential, to ensure you provide the right information at the right time and in the right way, to continue to get your product specified.

There's really no way around it; the best interest rates at any given time tend to come with the longest-term CDs. Five-year CDs generally pay more than two-years, two-years generally pay more than one-years, and so on.
Does that mean that earnings-minded customers should load their savings entirely into the single highest-yield, longest-term CD available? Not necessarily. The result might be great if you make the CD purchase at a time when interest rates are peaking, but it's more likely that rates will fluctuate – possibly rising – as you wait for that single CD to mature.
Many customers have found a way to hedge against fluctuating CD rates in hopes of getting the best overall return, long-term. It's called CD laddering. Basically, it involves staggering CD purchases over time, so that eventually a portion of the total deposit is always close to maturity, and all of it is earning a long-term rate.
Sound complicated? It's really not. Let's break it down into simple steps to show how a basic ladder might work for you.
1. Decide on a total amount to deposit in your CD ladder. Ally sets no minimum deposit for CD purchases, so any amount can work. For this explanation, we'll go with $5,000 because it's a nice, round number, and we like easy math.
2. Decide on a time frame for the top rung of your ladder – the rung farthest out of reach. Ask yourself: What's the maximum length of time that I'm willing to lose access to any portion of my money? We'll go with five years. That means the longest-term CD – and eventually all CDs – in this ladder will be five-year CDs.
3. Put one-fifth of your total deposit – or $1,000 – into a five-year CD to start earning those long-term rates. For now, consider shorter-term CDs for the rest of your total deposit. You could opt to buy several CDs of different terms – a four-year, a three-year, a two-year and a one-year.
4. Each year, as one of your shorter-term CDs matures, move that fifth of your total deposit into a new five-year CD, placing it at the top of your ladder. At the same time, you'll be watching previous five-year CDs move a year closer to maturity, or down one rung.
5. Five years after you start, your first five-year CD will reach maturity. At that point, you can cash it in, or let it ride. As long as you keep the ladder intact, all of your CD savings will be earning a long-term rate. But you'll never be more than a year away from being able to access one-fifth of it, should you want to withdraw.
But don't feel tied to this example. Maybe you think it's wiser to stick to CD terms of two years or less during times when interest rates nationwide are relatively low – as they have been for a while now. If so, you might want to build your ladder with Ally's Raise Your Rate CDs and stagger them six months apart instead of a full year. We're partial to the way this product lets existing customers take advantage of new rates, when rates rise. Or maybe you want to throw a no-penalty CD into the mix, reserving complete freedom to withdraw at any time after seven days post-account opening without losing a penny to penalties.
Investigating the different combination's and options for your CD ladder is a great way to gain confidence in your ultimate choice. To help you with your research, here are a few articles and resources we like:

In August this year, Australian researchers began training Fijian project staff on how to use new spindle-less lathes and are now conducting research trials on how to produce high-quality cocowood veneer. ACIAR supported the acquisition of a spindle-less lathe for the Fijian Department of Forestry's Timber Utilisation Division complex at Nasinu. Australian researchers from the Univeristy ofTasmania and Queensland's Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry worked together to identify, purchase and modify the equipment needed for research. Lathes purchased from Malaysia were modified to include safety features that complied with Australian requirements.
A spindle-less lathe works on the basis that the log is rotated against a peeling knife. Pressure is applied by multiple rollers positioned against the log surface. The aim is to produce veneers of consistent thickness with a smooth surface. This is relatively straight forward when working with small diameter, eucalypt logs which have a more uniform density. Challenges arise when working with coconut stems as these have very different anatomical properties to trees, and are very dense on the outside but are less dense in the centre.

Fiji's Conservator of Forests, Mr Samuela Lagataki, says that these days about half of recruits coming into the Department of Forestry are women. When ACIAR visited the Timber Utilisation Division's facilities to watch some of the first processing of coconut veneer, the local women were very interested and active in the research. As soon as the veneer sheets started to come off the lathe, the women enthusiastically lined up to learn how to measure and record the thickness of the sheets.

The project's co-ordinator in Fiji is Ms Moana Masau, who is employed by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC). With the support of ACIAR, Moana is now half way through a Graduate Certificate in Timber Processing and Building, conducted by distance education with the University of Tasmania. Moana has an active role in trialling the first veneer processing using the new spindleless lathe.
This ACIAR project has another 2 years to run and there is still plenty more research to be done in the area of cocoveneer production. Over the next 2 years these young Fijian women and the rest of the project team will play a leading role in developing an innovative high-value product that will enhance livelihoods and options for landowners to revitialise the land occupied by these senile coconut plantations.

As most of you know, Benjamin Netanyahu, the current Prime Minister of the state of Israel is applying pressure on the President of the United States to militarily support and join him in his quest to bomb the nation of Iran for ostensibly developing nuclear weapons to annihilate the Jewish country of Israel. The Prime Minister, in his heart of hearts genuinely believes He has the right to launch a nuclear attack on Iran because He believes God is on the side of Israel and his alleged proof is based on Genesis 12:3. A great percentage of Christians agree with him, such as John Hagee, Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye, Mike Evans, and a myriad of other evangelicals as well as politicial leaders throughout America.
11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. 13 Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. 14 for here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

Abeni Cultural Arts Performing Dance Studio presents
Visions: An Odyssey in Black Dance
10th Anniversary Showcase
bondage | freedom | struggle | dance
The show presents a journey through history with African, Modern, Contemporary, Jazz and Hip-Hop dance. This is the company's ninth year producing the show to celebrate Black History Month.
The show begins with a beautiful wedding in an African village that gets interrupted by slave catchers. Then the enslaved Africans begin their journey across the ocean. The Middle Passage which brought Africans to America is comparable to the Trail of Tears in showing how inhumane and insensitive humans can be when it comes to the rights of people living on their own land. But, despite this, the experience formed the catalyst that sparked a generation of African-Americans to help build these United States of America. We continue to use this inspiration so that one day we can truly call these lands our lands.
The show includes choreography by Muriel Miller and Darrell Davis, as well as music by Gary Swindell.

This is the evolving website of the project of "Paradise-on-Earth" - not as an ultimate luxury resort like its sister project (see: www.paradise-on-earth.com) - but as an innovative postindustrial, hightech and ecoconservation system with zero CO2 emission integrated with an independent, renewable, solar energy and production system as well as with a population and governance dimension, thus reflecting the general idea of creating Paradise on Earth, as a philosophy, a policy and an overall vision.
It incorporates the new philosophy of longest-term orientation or "eternalism" (copyrighted by its founder and developer Dr. Hans Albrecht von Zedlitz, M.A., Ph.D., 1973-2010).
The "ParadiseOnEarth" vision and philosophy is embodied in the living model of the integrated "Paradise-on-Earth" (POE) Project system which will be a symbol of the 21st century/ 3rd Millennium (and beyond) which models the most innovative, future-oriented life-style on the Planet! As the future of "Utopia", the ancient but unreal perfect projection of our ideal place to be, this real utopia can also be called the true "Futopia".
As such, the POE project will also serve as a model for embodying the POE philosophy and vision of the ideal and longest-term form of perfect, stress-free, creative human living employing an integrated, hightech eco-conservation solution, in a completely CO2 emission-free setting, which is in fullest harmony with the global ecosystem on our planet Earth.
Based on the systematization of the POE Vision and philosophy, there is the development of the commercial POE project undertaken in parallel – the creation of an ultimate luxury resort of a true paradisal nature (see: HYPERLINK "http://www.paradise-on-earth.com" www.paradise-on-earth.com) in the volume of 2-3 billion USD.
Because of their uniqueness, both the philosophy and vision of Paradise on Erath and the corresponding project development are meant to be one of the most exclusive projects on earth.
More materials on the POE Vision and philosophy are soon being posted here. Read more...

Two years ago the Rangers came out of the lockout with a team built around Jaromir Jagr and a weaving Euro-style designed to take advantage of the new-era NHL new rules with which the captain and running mates Martin Straka and Michael Nylander had been exploiting since their respective childhoods.
The Rangers were both a revelation in ending their seven-season playoff drought and likely the league's best team into the Olympics. But a late-season crash followed by a first-round sweep by the Devils brought changes in personnel and in style. A more traditional north-south club in 2006-07, the Rangers would win a playoff round, but still were 10 tournament wins shy of a championship.
As such, there were more changes this summer. Free agent Nylander got the four years from the Caps (and Oilers) he couldn't get from the Rangers, and thus departed, leaving Jagr with one less simpatico linemate. When Straka went down with a broken finger in the season's seventh game, No. 68 often seemed adrift.
It is no coincidence, then, that the Rangers entered last night's Garden match against the Islanders as the NHL's lowest-scoring team overall and at even-strength.
It is no coincidence, either, that Jagr has found a great portion of the rest of him since Straka's return three games ago.
"It's not that the team went away from my style; it's just that I need one player on my line who thinks the way I do," said Jagr, who scored the first goal and set up the final goal in the Rangers' 4-2 victory over the Islanders last night at the Garden.
With Jagr often a dominant force receiving aid and comfort from not only the veteran Straka, but from freshman center Brandon Dubinsky, who also had a goal and an assist while asserting himself physically with and without the puck, the Rangers registered their first victory against the Islanders this season after three regulation defeats.
"A team doesn't have to all play the same way as long as the players understand what the coach wants from them," Jagr said. "In hockey, it's almost like you have four small teams of five instead of one big team. Marty plays the way I like to play. He waits for me. He holds the puck. He knows where I am.
"When I'm with Marty, I can play the way I always play."
The Rangers rode Jagr's line, they rode a power play performance in which they went 2-for-5 after going 3-for-39 in their previous eight games, and they rode big-save goaltending from Henrik Lundqvist. But the Rangers won last night by getting themselves down and dirty, and winning the battles they had lost in their first three meetings.
"I liked our second- and third-effort," Tom Renney said. "I liked our presence around their net and our resolve in the defensive zone."
It was a game that serves as a reminder-if one is ever needed-of just how important Jagr remains to the Rangers, and how important it is for the Rangers to see to it that No. 68 is put in positions where he can succeed.
"There's a marked difference in Jaromir's energy on the ice [since Straka's return]," Renney said. "The previous two years we had one line that could do special things, and you never want to confine that.
"Now, with Marty back, we might have that again."

The Center for Vocational Reflection (CVR) was established through a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc. The primary rationale for the creation of the CVR is to promote opportunities for the students to reflect on what gives life mean, discern vocational direction and engage in service to benefit the local community. We strive to help students develop a sense of selfhood to prepare them for success in life after college.
We are a center within Threehouse: A Wesley Foundation. Our goal is to get students thinking about their career choices and vocation through a theological lens. We want to encourage students to consider the broader implications of how their vocational choices play a role in creating a life that matters. We want them to consider how they might contribute to the common good, and encourage a little more collectivist thinking or behavior in our very individualistic society.
2. Does that mean you want everyone to go into ministry?
No. You may be called to be a teacher, and by listening to that call, will have the opportunity to influence the next generation to be good people. You may be called to medical research, and will have the opportunities to make some amazing breakthroughs. You may be called to journalism, ministry, performing arts, business, etc…. There is always the potential to make the world a better place through your actions and daily life, particularly if you are happy with and passionate about your chosen field.
3. What services do you offer?
Conversation and connections (and a few other things). Our services are tailored to the needs of the student. If you need to come in one time and talk about a choice you need to make, we are here. If you need to reflect on what you learned about yourself through community service or internships, and how this might influence your future vocational options, we are here. If you need help getting connected to said internships or service opportunities, particularly in the area of ministry, we are here. If you want to show that you have really thought deeply about your vocational choices, and you want to put it on your resume, we are here (ask about our Certificate of Vocational Reflection and Service).
4. Does it cost anything?
No. We are funded very generously by the Lilly Family Endowment through their Campus Ministries Theological Exploration of Vocation Initiative. There is no monetary cost to students, but it may change how you see the world.

"I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day." 2 Timothy 1:3
Abba, dear Father, I am praying to you in behalf of the precious people that surround me. I consider them as your blessing for me. Help me to be also a blessing for them. You created us as your spiritual body where each one of us is individually part of it. You commend us that we should love one another just as you loved us. Dear Lord, pour out in us your Holy Spirit that we may abound with sincere love from having mutual care and concern for each other. Agape love is the fulfillment of the Law and the Gospel. We beseech you Lord, unify our hearts and mind, enable us to obtain virtue in seeing the goodness to others and may we be kindly affectionate in showing respect for one another. And if we are trying to seek shortcomings and flaws, may we first see them in ourselves than finding them to others. As you said, "We should first take the log out on our own eye before we can take the mote in the eye of our brother." Abba, we have the hope and faith that our Agape for each other will become flames of fire that will give warmth to every hearts in the midst of your children. Bless each of us. Amen.

As you know from my previous posts, I have been looking at our Radcliffe lineage in the past few weeks and believe I have made another really exciting break-through. I may even have found some 5th great-grandparents.
Our Radcliffe Pedigree
My 3rd great-granduncle, Joseph Radcliffe (1835-1918), brother of John above, was known to his neighbours in Yellow Walls as 'Ratty'. I had always thought that this was merely an unfortunate nickname. 'Ratty' was the last member of our Radcliffe family known to have lived in Malahide, Co. Dublin. He died in 1918, yet memory of him survived. Until relatively recently, there was even a disparaging ditty recited locally concerning his abilities as a house-painter, but unfortunately, I do not know the words.
Ratty is certainly not a widely known variant of the Radcliffe surname, even though the renowned Irish genealogist, Edward MacLysaght, recognised it as an 'occasional abbreviation'. No consistent spelling for 'Radcliffe' was used by my family over the years and I have searched for all the variants. However, never before did I think to check for 'Ratty' as a surname. Not until recently.
When I did, I found three more children born to my 4th great-grandparents Peter Radcliffe and Anne Sarsfield. Their baptisms were recorded in the same Roman Catholic Church, where I had found the baptism of John Radcliffe - St Colmcille's, Swords.
Originally, I had discovered the following children:
- Peter Ratcliff baptised on 4 May 1826;
- John Ratcliff on 15 June 1827, my 3rd great-grandfather;
- Joseph Radcliff on 1 November 1835; and
- Christopher Radcliff on 2 June 1841.
Now, I can add three more children to the list, nicely filling the eight-year gap between John and Joseph:
- Thomas Ratty baptised on 19 Jul 1829;
- The only daughter, Mary Ratty on 9 July 1831; and
- Peter Ratty on 6 August 1833.
The first Peter, born in 1826, may have died in childhood, with the name being reused for the next boy born.
This Ratty surname has opened up a whole new avenue for further research into our Ratcliff(e)/Radcliff(e) lineage. It has also provided the names of six additional Godparents, some of whom may well be related to Peter and Anne, and perhaps hold the clues necessary to extend their pedigrees back another generation.
Unfortunately, Peter and Anne's marriage record is still not immediately obvious in St Colmcille's records, or in the surrounding parishes. However, I may have found Peter's baptism record. A Peter Ratty was baptised in the nearby Baldoyle parish, on 25 November 1798. His siblings' baptisms were also recorded - John Ratty in 1791, Thomas in 1792, a second John in 1794, Mark in 1797, Ellen in 1806 and Margaret in 1809. Peter's parents, and possibly my 5th great-grandparents, were named as Thomas Ratty and Mary Cullen. Coincidentally, or not, these names were given to two of Peter and Anne's children. It's not a common name in Ireland, but it seems that there were two men named Thomas Ratty living in Baldoyle at this same time, adding complications to the search.
My 4th great-grandfather, Peter Radcliffe, died on 17 March 1887, and his son Joseph registered his age as 90 years. A 1798 baptism is therefore quite feasible. Proving it, however, is another matter entirely.

Weekend Beach Melee - Caught On Tape
The Youtube video shows a Miami Beach police officer struggling to detain a woman half his size as a boisterous crowd gathers around.
Lt. Douglas Simon body slams the woman on the sand, sparking shouts of outrage from the growing crowd.
Meanwhile, a security guard is struggling to detain a man on the sand, putting him in what appears to be an illegal chokehold.
This prompts three men in the crowd to approach the guard with shouts of "you're killing him," ordering the guard to loosen his grip on the man.
Simon orders the men to back off from the unnamed security guard, who ends up loosening his chokehold grip on the man he is detaining.
More cops eventually arrive on the scene to place the two detainees in handcuffs.
Simon then rushes into the crowd and grabs a man in a New York Yankees cap to arrest him, one of the three men who had approached the security guard during the chokehold.
Questionable felony charges
Abelardo Antonio Soto, 29, was charged with aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting an officer with violence, felonies which can send him to prison for several years.
Police claim he tossed sand at Simon as he struggled with the woman, inciting the crowd. Police also claim he attacked Simon with a weapon, drawing a gash to the officer's forehead.
None of this is supported by the videos, including the one above and the four below.
In fact, the only evidence on video that anybody was tossing sand comes in around the 1:05 mark in the second video and the sand is coming from the other direction from where Soto was standing.
And the sand falls harmlessly without anybody seeming to notice.
Soto can be heard yelling "that's fucked up" after Simon body slams the woman, but many others were also yelling.
Questionable chokehold
If anything, there is strong evidence against the security guard for using a chokehold that has been banned by many police departments across the country because it can be lethal.
Some police departments allow chokeholds only if they apply pressure to both sides of the neck, leaving the center of the neck untouched as officers demonstrate in this video.
The security guard had his forearm pressed tightly across the man's neck, using his second hand to tighten his grip.
This is when the three men, including Soto, approached him, telling him to loosen his grip.
The woman who was body slammed is Sara Greenback, a 25-year-old woman who was kicked out of a Swedish House Mafia concert for "unruly behavior," according to The Miami Herald.
As she was walking away, a security guard flagged down Simon to tell him about Greenback's alleged misdeeds inside the concert.
Police said she took off running, so Simon had to chase her down in his ATV and body slam her. She was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest without violence.
It is not clear what offenses the man in the chokehold committed but if he was also kicked out of the concert for unruly behavior, then they both should have been left alone as they were already out of the concert.
There are still many unanswered questions in the weekend incident involving Simon and many unsupported claims by police.
However, there were many cameras recording what took place, so hopefully there will be more videos posted on Youtube in the coming days.
Because without solid evidence of Soto's innocence, he will most likely be convicted on Simon's word alone.
This one show the beginning of the melee.

Verminous dangers that roam the hinterlands of civilisation Ankheg are subterranean, insect-like menaces that prey on livestock and the farmers that guard them.
The ankheg are obviously insect in nature, the length of it near horse sized body is covered in hard chitin from clacking mandibles to the back of its abdomen. While the ankheg, unusually for an insect, has only one set of eyes the most intimidating feature of its head is its mouth which is not only flanked by a pair of large clacking mandibles but also drips burning green acid that it can use as an attack. While normal ankhegs are only as long as a horse there are larger desert dwelling ankhegs that prey on the deep desert giant scorpions that are said to be as long as an elephant.[1]
Habitat & EcologyEdit
Ankheg tend to dwell on the outskirts of civilisation, they can only dig through soil, sand and gravel and not rock so they are never found in rocky areas. Their preferred habitat seems to be rural farmland as such places not only have loose soil but a large supply of livestock to feed on. Ankheg also often dwell in the desert with some of them growing far larger than normal ankhegs,[1] they are common in the deserts of Garund with some being found in the deserts of northern Katapesh[2], they are even resilient enough to dwell in the scorching Cinderlands of eastern Varisia.[3]The ankheg's most famous home is the Skittermounds in the desolate Hold of Belkzen where ankhegs create huge nests beneath the lands vast sandy mounds, here armies of the creatures battle each other for territory and scant resources.[4]
Interestingly despite the vast nests of the Skittermounds ankhegs normally do not gather in such numbers and are often solitary hunters. Despite its appearance ankhegs are actually more intelligent than they look, a lot smarter than normal insects and are sometimes trained to serve as either beasts of burden, mounts or war beasts. Unfortunately they are not the most intelligent creatures, while smarter than insects they are still stupider than most animals and have a nasty tendency to squirt acid when surprised or scared. As a result ankhegs are only trained by savage races that value their fighting ability over the safety of those near them, this includes races like hobgoblins, troglodytes and particularly the vicious orcs who are renowned for their love of violent war beasts.[1]

Leading Sectors and World Powers
The Coevolution of Global Economics and Politics
George Modelski and
William R. Thompson
Why major powers rise, fall, and fight about their changing status
The idea that political and economic power moves in coordinated cycles has long intrigued political scientists and economists, for if such a pattern exists, a model explaining the phenomenon would gain predictive qualities. In Leading Sectors and World Powers, George Modelski and William R. Thompson venture beyond previous attempts to understand this supposition by establishing an explicit connection between war, economic innovation, and world leadership. They argue that surges in economic creativity, which in turn are tied to global war, determine leadership in the global system.
Contending that K-waves (processes delineating the wax and wane of industrial sectors) appear in paired sets correlated to long-cycle shifts (phases of world order punctuated by intensive bouts of global war), Modelski and Thompson construct a linked sequence of political-economic leadership extending from tenth-century China to the contemporary United States.
George Modelski is professor of political science at the University of Washington.
William R. Thompson is professor of political science and director of the Center for the Study of International Relations at Indiana University.

Any commercially available sea anemone that you would buy to use as an original model would not give the best representation of the sea creature. For the most realistic and unique representation, creating your own sea anemone using modeling clay is best. Sculpting this model is not as complicated a task as you might think. Proper positioning of the tentacles is key to attaining realism.

Sam Faiers has proven that Essex girls can do elegant too.
The TOWIE star looked simply stunning as she launched her new fragrance, La Bella, on Saturday in Newcastle.
As she held a meet and greet with around 300 fans who were eager to get their hands on a bottle of her La Bella scent, the blonde beauty smiled and showed off her killer figure.
Wearing a turtle-neck dress, the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant proved that keeping it simple is the best way forward.
She fashioned the outfit with a thin gold bangle and some white heels while sporting loose ombre curls and natural make-up.
The 23-year-old clearly knew she'd hit a home-run as she had a huge smile plastered across her face while posing in The Fragrance Shop.
But this could be the last we see of Sam for a while. The reality TV star has been in talks with agents recently about making a move to Hollywood.
We're not sure where that would leave her and boyfriend Joey Essex... the pair can't seem to be apart for more than two minutes.
When the I'm a Celebrity star went abroad, Sam couldn't hide her sorrow and took to Twitter to share her sadness.
She wrote: "Miss u @JoeyEssex_ both always so busy ... Can't wait to see u next week. Xxx."
Then, to show the 23-year-old exactly what he was missing, she flaunted her toned midriff while out in a crop top.
And from what we've seen from her latest Ann Summer's shoot we're sure that there's plenty more where that came from.
The TOWIE babe looked smoking hot as she modelled rainbow coloured bras and knickers for the lingerie brand .
