Fort Worth, TX - No. 15 Cal State Fullerton used late-inning heroics by Shevis Shima (pinch-hit double) and a squeeze bunt from Joel Weeks in the top of the eighth inning to take the series with a 7-4 win over TCU Sunday afternoon at Lupton Stadium.
The Titans (2-1) and Horned Frogs (1-2) set a TCU series record with 7,486 fans enjoying the three-game set at Lupton Stadium.
With the game tied at 4-4, the Titans went to pinch hitter Shima, who delivered a sharp line drive to left-center that he legged for a double to lead off the eighth inning off TCU hurler Dillon Farrish. After a passed ball that moved Shima to third, Weeks, greeted new pitcher Andrew Cashner with a bunt to the right side of the mound scoring Shima with the game-winner.
Farrish faced just one batter but picked up the loss, falling to 0-1.
Josh Fellhauer's first home run of the year, and a bases loaded straight steal of home by Jeff Newman gave Fullerton two much needed insurance runs in the ninth.
Brian Wilson picked up his first win, tossing the final 2.1 innings, surrendering just two hits.
Titan starter Adam Jorgenson pitched 4.1 innings, and was cruising along until the fifth when TCU batted around scoring three runs to tie the game. The first four Frogs reached base off Jorgenson, then after a strikeout, first baseman Matt Vern singled home two ending Jorgenson's day on the hill.
Freshman Jason Dovel, and sophomore Ryan Ackland stumped the Frog offense for 2.1 innings, with Dovel pitching out of a second-and-third, one-out jam in the fifth.
Second baseman, Gary Brown, made his first start of the year, and capitalized with a pair of RBI to lead the way for Fullerton. Fellhauer led all players with three hits on the day, giving him a team-leading seven on the weekend.
The Titans will play Tuesday at home against LMU. First pitch is scheduled for 6 p.m. Michael Morrison is the probable starter for that game.

The Revealing of Sarah McCoy
Author Sarah McCoy (The Time It Snowed in Puerto Rico) draws upon the unlikely connection between her past (Germany) and present (El Paso, Texas) residences to create the historical novel, The Baker's Daughter available next Tuesday, January 24th.
Here are a few selections of glowing praise for the book:
"A beautiful, heart-breaking gem of a novel written just the way I like them, with the past coming back to haunt the present, endearing heroines and a sunny, hopeful ending. You'll wolf it up in one delicious gulp." –Tatiana de Rosnay, international bestselling author of Sarah's Key and A Secret Kept
"A sensitive, multilayered novel, this is a moving examination of the effect war and the politics of exclusion, have on the human heart."–Amanda Hodgkinson, New York Times bestselling author of 22 Brittania Road
"A haunting and beautiful story… Spanning sixty years, and taking on forms of human cruelty and indifference ranging from the Nazis to modern-day immigration reform, McCoy forces us to examine the choices we make. I was riveted from start to finish." – J. Courtney Sullivan, New York Times bestselling author of Commencement and Maine
The Divining Wand has scheduled a visit from Sarah McCoy on Wednesday, March 14, 2012 but — for now — let's meet the author through her "official" bio:
SARAH McCOY is author of the novel, The Time It Snowed in Puerto Rico. She has taught English writing at Old Dominion University and at the University of Texas at El Paso. The daughter of an Army officer, her family was stationed in Germany during her childhood. She calls Virginia home but presently lives with her husband and dog, Gilbert, in El Paso, Texas. The Baker's Daughter is her second novel. She is currently working on her next.
Interesting background, don't you think? Well then it's time for the following upclose and personal Q&A with Sarah to know her even better.
Q. How would you describe your life in 8 words?
A. My God, I can't do it in 8 words! I'm the lady who gets cut off by people's answering machines. Please stay tuned: Still a work in progress. How's that? Or Hold on tight: I'm just getting started, y'all! Does 'y'all' count as one word?
Q. What is your motto or maxim?
A. Everything has a purpose. Hold tight. Have faith. Keep watch. Miracles are a breath away.
Q. How would you describe perfect happiness?
A. I believe "perfect happiness" exists in every moment. We just have to open our eyes and look to find it. Even in the midst of terrible tragedy or great personal struggle, there's the laughter of a child or the bloom of a flower. Reminders that perfect happiness is more constant and eternal than our pain.
Q. What's your greatest fear?
A. I'm not sure I have a greatest so much as a bunch of little fears that stand on each other's shoulders until they look like a giant. They range from developed, strong demons to skinny, weak ones: fear of failure; burrowing animals; fear of rejection; nightmares where my teeth fall out; having my privacy invaded; fear that my dog will run into a scorpion or tarantula or rattlesnake in the backyard; worry over the safekeeping of my family and loved ones scattered so far from me; packing anxiety when traveling; fear that my husband won't ever know the depth of my love for him… Big and small stuff I can't control no matter how I try.
Q. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be?
A. Home. Wherever that might be at the time. Home is where my husband is, where my writing desk stands, where my puppy sleeps. Don't get me wrong, I love traveling, but part of the great appeal is the homecoming, snuggling into the quiet of my house and recounting the excitement of where I've just been. When I'm home, I'm happiest.
Q. With whom in history do you most identify?
A. Oh, I identify with different individuals at various points in my life journey so I'd be hard pressed to pick just one. Recently, I was in Santa Fe and took a tour of the Georgia O'Keefe Museum. I felt such a kinship to her: her passion for her art and struggle to make a way in the industry; her relationship with her husband and her work; her love for unusual spaces that whispered vibrant stories; her appreciation for the power of femininity.
Q. Which living person do you most admire?
A. On a personal level, my mother, Eleane. I know it's cliché but every day she never fails to be superwoman. She reminds me that love is transformative and not even the stars are out of reach. She reminds me that there is a higher power and we, a high calling.
In the writing world, Toni Morrison absolutely blows my mind. I want her to be my fairy godmother, sprinkle me with her blessings, and let me sit in her presence. As well, my dearest friend Sheri Reynolds is such a force of love and support in my life. I'll never be able to fully tell her how much I cherish her.
Q. What are your most overused words or phrases?
A. "Just." I don't know why I just can't seem to get just out of my dialogue. I have to comb it out of my writing. It makes the prose drag. I blame my Virginian roots.
Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be?
A. Being able to lean forward and touch my toes. I know, nearly everyone on the planet has this talent and I don't. It's been a lifelong frustration starting with the Sit-and-Reach Test in elementary gym class. Either my arms or too short or my legs are too long, but something is off.
Q. What is your greatest achievement?
A. Writing and publishing my novels.
Q. What's your greatest flaw?
A. Being a perfectionist, Type-A, control freak.
Q. What's your best quality?
A. Once I trust and consider a person a true friend, I brandish my sword to champion and defend that person. Faithful till death.
Q. What do you regret most?
A. Too often taking out my perfectionist, Type-A, control freak-dom on my husband.
Q. If you could be any person or thing, who or what would it be?
A. Can I cop out of this question by saying I'm just fine being who and what I am? I've never subscribed to the "grass is always greener" philosophy. If my grass isn't green, I assume the neighbor's probably isn't either. I'll stick with what I got.
Q. What trait is most noticeable about you?
A. Are we talking physicality or personality? If we're going with physicality then I'd say my height. People who meet me in person are always surprised by my short stature. My husband calls me his wee pocket pixie. My grandmother is about 5' tall. My great grandmother was 4'11''. These are the trees from which I come.
Q. Who is your favorite fictional hero?
A. Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables. She reigns supreme in my imagination.
Q. Who is your favorite fictional villain?
A. Briony from Atonement. Though technically not a villain, she's the complex heroine that points a wrongful finger and sets tragedy in motion. You want to hate her, but you love her because she made a mistake. One terrible, youthful mistake, and haven't we all made one or two of those? Such a great character.
Q. If you could meet any athlete, who would it be and what would you say to him or her?
A. I'll admit, I'm not much on the sports celebrities. I guess I'd pick Nadia Comaneci. I was a gymnast in my youth, and she was my ultimate. I'd ask her if she wanted to grab a cup of tea. Nothing brilliant. Now my second choice would be Landon Donovan. I'd want to meet him so I could brag to my husband, an ex-college soccer player who is absolutely obsessed with the sport.
Q. What is your biggest pet peeve?
A. People who talk about nothing (the weather, the light fixtures, the salt and pepper shakers on the table—you get the picture) in an attempt to fill every moment of sweet silence.
Q. What is your favorite occupation, when you're not writing?
A. This is a difficult question because I don't fancy anything as much as writing. Hmm. I'm going to go out on a limb here: according to my friend Jenna Blum, I could make a mean nickel as a gift wrapper. I do love putting together pretty packages.
Q. What's your fantasy profession?
A. Exactly what I'm doing: writing novels. I'm living my fantasy and pinch myself every day.
Q. What 3 personal qualities are most important to you?
A. 1) Loyalty, 2) Authenticity, 3) Independence
Q. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be?
A. Up until this Christmas, I would've said crab, but I learned you can have too much of a good thing after a week of seafood binging while back east… Shoot, who am I kidding? The answer is still king crab legs!
Q. What are your 5 favorite songs?
A. 1) "Stardust" by Nat King Cole, 2) "It's Beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas" by Johnny Mathis, 3) "Anne's Theme" by Hagood Hardy for the film Anne of Green Gables, 4) "You Don't Own Me" by Lesley Gore, and 5) "Amazing Grace." (Yeah, it's an eclectic list. Each one moves me powerfully in a different way.)
Q. What are your 5 favorite books of all time?
A. While I have a plethora of books I consider favorites, I'll go with five plucked from my "fundamentals" list: 1) Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, 2) Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare, 3) The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald, 4) Nine Days Queen by Karleen Bradford, 5) The Awakening by Kate Chopin. Note: Austen's Pride and Prejudice should be in there too.
Genuine, insightful, and most thoughtful/appreciative, Sarah has a great deal to share. You can join her on Goodreads, follow her on Twitter, and become a friend/fan on Facebook.
Also, since The Baker's Daughter becomes available in bookstores next week, you might want to "see" the author on her Book Tour.
For an extra bonus, enjoy the novel's Prelude and Chapters One – Three.

What's New?
Gary Mokotoff, Editor
Volume 12, Number 2 | January 16, 2011
Every government puts value on preserving its history. That is why we have national archives. Genealogy preserves history; the history of a family. It cannot be done without access to records, just as historians cannot preserve a nation's history without access to records. It is a greater good than the right to privacy. It is a greater good than the risk of identity theft.
Library and Archives Canada Is Going Digital
Library and Archives Canada is planning to be a "fully engaged digital organization" by the year 2017, in time to celebrate Confederation's 150th anniversary. Some of the plans are to:
• phase out providing paper copies of documents requested by patrons and instead provide only digital copies by April 2011.
• double the volume of its online content over the next year, mounting millions of genealogy images on its website in partnership with Ancestry.ca. For example, in 2011, patrons will be able to access digitized images of original census documents from 1861 and 1871, which contain the name, age, country or province of birth, nationality, religion, and occupation of Canadians at the time.
• have online permanently frequently requested documents.
Additional information about plans can be found at http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/whats-new/013-503-e.html.
Who Do You Think You Are? Debuts February 4
The American version of the TV program Who Do You Think You Are? debuts on Friday evening February 4 at 8pm (7 Central time). Their website does not indicate who will be the celebrity highlighted on the first show.
Non-Israeli Volunteers in Israel's Wars
World Machal is an organization that honors the thousands of non-Israelis who volunteered to defend Israel in its various wars, especially the War of Independence. Machal is an acronym for the Hebrew, "Mitnadvei Chutz L'Aretz," meaning "Volunteers from Overseas." There is a website that provides biographical information about hundreds of these individuals at http://www.machal.org.il/. Many persons are named in these biographies even though they do not have their own personal biography.
There is a search engine to locate information about individuals. It is a string search, that is, it will locate any word that includes the consecutive letter given. Thus "abin" and "rabi" will locate all occurrences of the surname Rabin.
It is an interesting site to visit, even if you did not know any of these volunteers.
Books of Vital Records Indexes for London Synagogues
Harold Lewin of Jerusalem has produced three books that are indexes to London vital records.
• Marriages of the Great Synagogue of London 1791–1885, approximately 8,000 marriages. Cost: $79 plus shipping
• Birth Records of the Great Synagogue 1791 to 1877 and Hambro Synagogue 1770 to 1905, in all, approximately 11,440 births. Most records include birth date, civil and Hebrew names of infant, parents' names and home address. Cost is $49 plus shipping
Lewin is in the process of completing a third book on the birth records of the New Synagogue (1774 to 1896) and marriages of the New Synagogue (1790–1823 and 1837–1860) and Hambro Synagogue (1797 to 1837 & post 1862). The price has not yet determined, but should be about $79 plus shipping.
For more information, contact Lewin at firstname.lastname@example.com.
YouTube Films of Ancestral Towns
A posting to a JewishGen Discussion Group about the availability on YouTube.com of a film about the Jewish presence in a town reminded me that YouTube is a great resource for this type of material. Simply key in the name of your ancestral town and the word "Jews" or the word "Jews" in native tongue (for example, zydow for Polish towns).
People May Be Looking for You
From time to time, when I get an inquiry from a person, my reply bounces because the person mistyped his e-mail address.
I make a token effort to locate the person by looking in the JewishGen Discussion Group Archives at http://data.jewishgen.org/wconnect/wc.dll?jg~jgsys~archpop in the hope that the person posted at least one message to the Discussion Group in the past few years. If that is not successful, I go to the JewishGen Family Finder at http://www.jewishgen.org/jgff/. Tens of thousands of genealogists have posted their ancestral surnames and towns to this database. One of these two sources invariably provides me with a method of contacting the inquirer by e-mail.
People may be looking for you. Be sure you have made at least one posting a year to the JewishGen Discussion Group. Also contribute to the JewishGen Family Finder. If you are a married woman, include in JGFF your husband's surname, even if you are not researching his ancestry. In that way you can be found by either name.
Index to the Lexicon of the Yiddish Theatre Now Available
Steve Lasky, creator of the Museum of Family History located at http://museumoffamilyhistory.com, has transliterated from Yiddish to English the names of all the individuals and organizations listed in the six volumes of Zalmen Zylbercweig's Lexicon of the Yiddish Theatre. The list includes the individual's surname, given name, alternate names, dates of birth and death, town and country of their birth (all when listed in the Lexicon). More than 2,700 persons are identified. Lasky is also in the process of transliterating the captions to nearly four hundred photographs (mostly of play scenes and actors in their roles)and illustrations that are also included within these six volumes.
Zylbercweig's Lexicon volumes were published at different times, from 1931 to 1969. With few exceptions, the biographical information of persons appearing in earlier volumes are not updated in subsequent volumes.Instead the extra volumes provide biographical information about additional individuals.
A number of individuals are listed a second time, most often in Volume 5, which is the memorial volume of those killed by the Nazis. Galleys for portions of volume 7, which Zylbercweig never completed before his death, are available in the Archives of the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research.
For example, the Yiddish actress, Molly Picon, is listed in Volume 3, page 1809. To the general public, she is best known for her role as Yente the Matchmaker in the film version of Fiddler on the Roof. Fyvush Finkel, who gained fame as a television actor but got his start in the Yiddish theatre, is not in the Lexicon.
Lasky has not decided how to provide this information at the museum's site, so currently people can make inquiries to him to get information about persons of interest. Included will be the volume and page number where the person's biography appears.
There is a summary of the Lexicon at http://www.jewish-theatre.com/visitor/article_display.aspx?articleID=244. The entire six-volume set can be found in pdf format at http://www.archive.org by searching for "zalmen zylbercweig fun Yidish."
Contact Lasky at email@example.com.
If you have never visited Steve Lasky's Museum of Family History website it is worth your time. It is an audio-visual masterpiece of portions of Jewish history that tend to have relevance to family history research.
Lasky has taken the title of his site seriously and has created a virtual museum complete with floors, theaters, dining facilities and a bookstore. If a new visitor did not catch on that the Museum exists only on the Internet, I am sure Lasky would get e-mail questioning where the facility is located and what are its hours.
Many complex Internet sites have a site map. Lasky calls it a floor plan. There are plans for the main floor, second floor, upper floor and music pavilion. Visit a floor plan (site map) and you can click on the link to any of the exhibits on the virtual floor. For example, on the Main Floor plan there are links to essays on Synagogues of Europe, Aspects of Jewish Communal Life, The Kehillah and Rabbis and the Houses of Prayer and Study. In the center of the main floor is the Family History Theater which links to audio/visual presentations at the site.
Lasky represents Jewish cooking in his virtual Dining Facilities. The Gut Essen Delicatessen serves corned beef and pastrami sandwiches, kasha varnishkes, stuffed derma and stuffed cabbage. Although I did not see a rabbinic approbation, it appears to be kosher. The My Family Restaurant has more substantial fare including matzo ball soup, kreplach, Israeli salad, knishes, lox, smoked white fish, as well as secular fare. The People's Café is still under construction.
On the more serious side is the wealth of exhibits: visual, audio and video. Examples are:
• Shabbat and the Jewish Holidays
• Castle Garden and Ellis Island: Ports of Immigration
• Philanthropy: Jewish Hospitals and Societies Which Cared for the Needy in New York City (1902)
• Screening Room: Film clip no. 21: "A Great Day on Eldridge Street" Klezmer celebration on the Lower East Side
• Photographic Studios of Europe
The home page notes a Great Artist Series including exhibits about Al Jolson, Richard Tucker, Max Weber, David Pinski (Yiddish playwright) and Maurice Schwartz of the Yiddish Art Theatre, with plans for another exhibit about famed Sophie Tucker. Permanent exhibitions noted on the home page are: Postcards from Home, Eastern European Jewry, From the Pale to the Golden Land: How Our Families Came to America, Living in America: The Jewish Experience, The Yiddish World, The Holocaust and World Holocaust Memorials.
The Multi-media Index currently shows more than 150 audio items (example: Al Jolson radio interview on The Barry Gray Show, 1946. The video index also has about 150 entries, many films of the Jewish presence in various towns, including more than eighty by Bialystok native Tomek Wisniewski.
In the Educational Research section are items that are more pertinent to genealogy: Cemetery Project, Map Room of Eastern Europe, Synagogues of New York City and Genealogy and Family History. Visit the Museum of Family History. Lasky provides a monthly update of new items on the JewishGen Discussion Groups.
Visit the museum at http://museumoffamilyhistory.com. Use the Search engine to locate information about your ancestral towns and surnames.

For weeks I had been wracking my brain for crafty ideas for my mom. I love making things for her, but often my plans are too huge for the small amount of time I have and never come to fruition. This year was no different. A few days before Christmas, Kelly at Sewing in No Man's Land did a quick post about aprons. She posted some cute pictures from Anthropologie (I had no idea they even sold aprons) and as soon as I saw them I knew what I was making for my mom.
I drew up a quick design using elements from various apron styles and headed out to the fabric store.
For the first time ever, I bought fabric at Ikea…needless to say, I'm hooked! The print is so beautiful and the weight is exactly what I was looking for. Joann's had a lovely linen-look fabric in a deep rich purple. There isn't even any purple in the print, but the two looked great together so I went with it.
My favorite part of the project was the 4" circle-cut ruffle at the hem. Using a Christmas platter, I drew a circle on the fabric and then measured out 4", drawing another circle.
The platter must be large enough so that the ruffle length you desire fits around the platter. I used a rolled hem on the serger for the hem on this, but any hem method could be used.
As a dividing line between the purple and print, I sewed a faux-piping between them. It isn't piping at all, but a 1 1/4" strip of cream polished cotton folded in half and creased to make a 5/8" strip. The entire apron was stitched with 1/2" seams so the piping stuck out 1/8" and really makes the colors pop.
I added a few small gathers at the center waist and two rounded pockets, which really added to the vintage-y look.
The waist straps are extra long so they can be wrapped around the front and tied in a bow. I think it looks adorable on my mom! She is such a great hostess and I'm sure this apron will get a lot of use.

You sure are gifted with the needle and drafting which can be the most difficult part. YOU have mastered it. The apron looks fab on her. I to like the long ties, so difficult to tie a bow in back.ReplyDelete

Soapbox: A Wii Little Problem?
When the Wii was finally revealed at the Tokyo Games Show in 2005, it certainly came under a barrage of mixed opinions. Its abilities were nothing less than exciting; its name maybe less so. That name; the obscure – for better or worse – Wii, was the cause of much controversy and disagreement. While it had a few passionate supporters, most were either sceptical of its name as a leading console, or entirely unconvinced. The name, when uttered, stroke a striking resemblance to the European word for urine, and for that hundreds upon hundreds of Wii jokes and puns surfaced. Nintendo stated that you would get used to it, much like we have with the likes of 'Google', it's hard to say whether that's been the case. Now, enough about the name, here's the real question I'm interested in; do Nintendo's current and future catalogue of games spell a future that the gaming industry so desperately needs, or one that could eventually destroy many of the features that makes gaming such a unified and impressive medium?
Now, when you talk about the Wii, the uniqueness of its name is now less important than was initially feared; it's a short, cute if a little annoying three letter word. Its meaning of 'we' as in 'group' represents Nintendo's idea that multiplayer, and social interaction in games is vital in the games industry, and that fun is what games are all about, nothing more, nothing less. It is this mentality that sets the Wii apart from the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, two platforms that boast a dazzling set of specs. It's come to the point where both Microsoft and Sony's console could almost come under a different class next to the Wii, there's nothing flawed about that idea – the Wii offers a different control scheme, last generation graphics, and a games catalogue that focuses on shorter, pick-up and play games that appeal to the family, and younger, more casual gamers. There's a great line between third party games released on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, next to those released on the Wii, PS2, DS and PSP. If you were a gamer wanting more than one console, many would say there's more point getting a 360/PS3 with a Wii, instead of a 360 and PS3, since you'd be getting the best of both worlds. The DS, too, could be said to have a games catalogue of the Wii's mentality, with games like Cooking Mama, Sight Training, and Nintendogs all highlighting this.
The success of the Wii has been truly baffling; its original skeptics have been proven wrong in their estimations thanks to the Wii flying off shelves faster than they could say they were wrong. I too was an original skeptic; I thought that people that weren't gamers would never buy into a Wii, I was perhaps a little naive. Wii's are now incredibly hard to get hold of, and when they're finally in stock, they no doubt get sucked up in the next few hours following their appearance. The games, too, are making incredible amounts of money, with their casual appearance and fun 'anyone can play!' approach to their audience.
You only have to look at the last E3 to see where Nintendo are headed with their latest bunch of ideas. Wii Fit was unveiled; a program to help the user get into shape, which included a 'balance board'. Note how I'm reluctant to use the word 'game' here, and 'gamer'. Wii Fit is not a game, you are not 'playing', you are taking part in an exercise regime.
The question is, is this good for the gaming industry as a whole? As more and more Wii's are snapped up, and more and more games with short lifespans and easy premises are getting sold, many developers will be seeing this success and buying into this. But what about the more hardcore gamers and games? The gamers that like a deep story, some epic gameplay, and a wealth of online options? Alongside the Wii plays and Rayman's Raving Rabbids, we have the Halo 3s and The Orange Boxes. Sure, the Wii has a few games of classic gameplay, such as Super Mario Galaxy, and Zelda Twilight Princess, but these are largely outweighed by sub-par ports of last gen games, and mini-game infested cash-ins hoping to sell to so called 'new' gamers, who seem content to buy games based on their vibrant box art and obscenely happy characters.
I'm all for more people getting into games, but so long as it doesn't jeopardise the games I like to indulge in. As far as I see it, there's now an increasingly large line between the Wii and the 360 and PS3, a completely different group of gamers and their games. Will they ever be united? Maybe so, just make sure we're not seeing 'BioShock Tennis' and I'm sure I'll survive, I hope.

Since the summer is almost gone (and has been so cold), I did a plan of our garden for next year, using growveg.com. It is just an idea.
I am thinking planting the taller plants to the left, since that is facing southeast (where dominant winds blow). I will also place on that southeast facing side, a windbreak, to shelter against the winds.

Money seized on reverse onus of proof
Proceeds of crime legislation has become popular with governments across the world since the idea was first mooted. The idea was originally based on the principle of seizing assets that can be proven to have been acquired by criminal activity.
Since then, the scope has been expanded to meet an ever-growing appetite by government for more revenue.
Gradually it became the normal thing to seize all assets of a criminal even if the crime committed did not yield anything like the value of the accused's assets, then was set to encompass any profits from media or book sales after release from prison.
In Australia, this is not enough for the government deeply in the red, which now demands that reverse onus of proof be applied, in order to dispense with the tedious requirement of proving that a crime has been committed in order to take what you have:
NINE jetsetting Russians have been ordered to explain the source of almost $30 million stashed in Gold Coast bank accounts.
The accounts have funded a global splurge on fur, jewellery, designer clothes and luxury holidays at the Great Barrier Reef, Thailand, Dubai and Italy.
Australian Federal Police have frozen the fortune through the District Court in Brisbane as suspected proceeds of crime.
Federal agents found the money was ``entirely incompatible'' with the meagre income the Russians declared on their Australian visas.
But friends told The Sunday Mail the Russians were behind major legitimate businesses in their homeland and were preparing to invest in Australia. …
... The AFP told the District Court there was ``no evidence available to the AFP that the source of the funds is legitimate''.
``Nor is there any evidence to AFP that the intended purpose of the funds is legitimate,'' the court was told.
``The extremely large amount of money is entirely incompatible with the declared income of the nine Russians." …
… A friend of the Russians told The Sunday Mail the group had a series of major businesses in Siberia, including a popular brand of ice cream.
``I don't know any Russian who declares their real income when they come to Australia,'' the friend said.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there has been a significant rise in the number of Russian millionaires, some legitimate, some not.
There is no way of telling whether these people are legitimate or not, but it is apparent that the Federal Police have not been able to establish that any crime has been committed, let alone the nature of such an action. Had they done so, the action they have taken would be based on that crime, not on the rather nebulous claim that the origin of the money could be tainted.
Such actions have no basis in a rational justice system, nor should they exist in a free society.


text: Introduction Welcome to my ESO PvP Guides. There are way too many people saying way too many different things about PvP. This is my attempt to ensure that as many people as possible are not given false, misleading, or wrong information. Why should you listen to me? My main character on PC/NA was Crown, Alliance War Grand Overlord (the highest PvP rank that you can get) and the first North American AD player to reach that rank. I have been playing since about three months after launch, and have been in Cyrodiil (PvP) since mid 2014. Between all of my characters, I've been crowned Emperor 189 times (that I kept track of) on every campaign since Thornblade (I believe that I've worked hard at and deserved most of those – though a few were night capped or PvDoored by other people while I was sleeping), and I have helped more people than I care to remember become Emperor and/or make it to the top 2% of the leader boards in every campaign I've played. Do you have to listen to me? No. If you don't want to / care to, stop reading and go do something more fun. If you are relatively new to the game and want to read some of my advice, then please do read on and perhaps it can help you be a better player. If you would like to chat about games, or join us and be social, please feel free to hop into the Just Chill / PvP.Ninja Discord (our TS is PvP.Ninja). A lot of the old timers from Moonlight, Majestic 12, Misfitz, Victorem, Resilient, RAGE, Vehemence, & Just Chill are there to keep track of where our friends have gone, what they're currently playing, and simply keep in touch. If you're an ESO player of any faction, you're welcome to join the ESO PvP Discord. If you're into costume and gear design / aethetics, a sample of all the PvP colours can be found here. On to the guides!

ECJ looks back on 20 years - Peter Holt, consultant28th of March 2013
ECJ celebrates its 20th birthday this month. To celebrate our birthday we look back at the key trends affecting the industry over the last 20 years, with the help of some of the best-known names in the industry. Today, consultant Peter Holt.
Daytime cleaning is the most significant development. It requires a ranger of battery powered equipment which is becoming more relevant. It has made some impact but it has yet to become the norm throughout the commercial sector.
Green chemicals and energy saving equipment have begun to drive the sector into the 21st century. There is a long way to go but this trend deserves to succeed.
Manufacturers are criticised for the perceived lack of innovation. However, there is a lot of innovation out there which depends upon the will of senior managers and supervisors to extract the full benefit of new development. Initiatives are tried, but when they fail on the first attempt, as they usually do, they are then dismissed as too difficult.
I would like to see the development of a career based structure that helps operatives move forward in the industry. Better recognition of the role of the cleaner will only truly be achieved when, at least, the liveable wage becomes the true minimum wage. The productivity required to finance this will be totally dependent on the client.

Hmm... or let compare in more specific manners...
No.1 In Malaysia, we don't have garage sale, Dollar store or any kind of thrifty stores...all the thrifty ones will go to "Pasar Malam"(local night market)...Tesco is the one of the best price hypermarket around here.
|night market (pasar malam)
You can hunt anything here..to eat, wear, use, see, play.....
|Park your car in the car porch and there the little green area... this type of
property could easily cost about300K - 500K depends the area, it would take 7 - 10 years
to finish the installment for a medium income family.
|king of the local fruit - Durian
No. 7 - One of the best thing in Malaysia is we are a multi-race community. We have Malay, Chinese, Indian, Singh, Siamese, So, we celebrate all holidays...From New Year at 1st January, Chinese Lunar New Year, Indian Depaavali (Festival of Light), Malay - Hari Raya, Buddhist - Wesak, All Muslim's celebration, Christian - Christmas.....and the list goes on. Any big day of other races is celebrate by all! Yes, we have a lot of public holidays!

IGN says Hoax Hunters is "worth the cover price each and every month."
"A grade A title," says Unleash the Fanboy.
Bloody Disgusting gave this issue a 3.5 of 5, saying it's "a solid read for anyone who wants jump into a new book that's only going to get better."
Team Hellions declares issue #3 "another stellar issue of Hoax Hunters, the series that I've come to rely on."
Issue #3 is Horror Talk's Book of the Week: "Murder, a former astronaut who now has his consciousness fractured into
a bunch of crows living in a spacesuit, is probably the most awesome
thing in comics right now."
"Different and weirder than any other comic," says First Comics News.
Talking Comics says "this is a buy for me and I can't wait to see where this series is headed."
"The clever story continues in this issue and, at the end of every issue,
there is a genuine cliffhanger that just leaves you wanting more," says Blue Raven Comics, in their 9 of 10 review.
Fanboy Comics calls Hoax Hunters "Scooby-Doo with parts of Fringe and Torchwood."
The Death of Comics calls Hoax Hunters "****ing solid. Doing big things...taking big chances."
"Hoax Hunters 3 pushes the story forward nicely, adding a few twists, but always propelling things in the right direction," says Futile Position.

Sugar Rush: A Day at the Bronte Creek Maple Syrup Festival
First, we were guided through the steps involved in tapping a maple tree to get the water that eventually becomes syrup by a lovely gal dressed in the turn of the century garb the maple farmers who once owned this plot of land would have worn while harvesting sap:
Step one: find a maple tree (apparently the syrup from the sugar maple tastes best). Measure said tree to ensure it is of an appropriate size (not all trees are best for tapping):
Next, drill a hole into the tree just past the outer bark
Next: insert the spigot or spout and hook pail to spout to catch the liquid
After several hours, provided it's the right temperature out (between -5 and +5 C), pail should slowly fill with water from the tree.
I tasted this tree water and must tell you it does NOT taste like syrup. It tastes like woody water.
Next step involves boiling the water down so that the actual water evaporates, leaving the maple sugar behind. In the 18th century, this process was done using pots over roaring wood fires.
In the 19th century, a modified stove, allowing for a broader surface area for boiling, and providing safer, more controlled places for the fire and smoke, was used.
Sorry, no photos of the factory drums now used to condense maple water into syrup. Suffice it to say, this is NOT how Aunt Jemima's maple syrup is boiled down nowadays!
After watching the tapping process, we got to see some vintage ladies distilling maple water even further into maple sugar.
After reaching the right temperature and liquid state, the maple sugar is poured into moulds then left to cool. The finished product is maple candy!
On the other side of the maple candy barn was a vintage photo studio, where we got to dress up in late Victorian costumes and get some fun pictures in an old buggy. I know it's historically inaccurate that we are smiling, but it was just TOO fun!
Finally, a tour of the Victorian mansion once lived in by the farming family who operated a maple syrup business on the land where the park now sits.
Just call me Anne, Anne of Green Gables (actually, call me Wild Woman of the Woods--it was too darn cold and muddy to be fashionable! For the record, I am wearing a vintage sweater, a lumberjacket plaid dress by Family Affairs [which is actually really adorable when not covered up by bulky sweaters], and my trusty Hunter wellies)
Check out the glorious ceiling and wallpaper!!
Oh, Matthew! Oh, Marilla! Puffed Sleeves!
Then it was on to the pancake house where we gorged ourselves on pancakes, pure maple syrup, and maple sausage. Then, after a short sugar spike, we crashed into pancake induced narcolepsy....and then we had to go get our taxes done. WHEW! What a day!

Maple sausage is sausage that is infused with maple essence (i.e. smoked using maple wood and/or made with the inclusion of maple syrup or maple flavouring).
Glad you enjoyed coming along with me on my Victorian Canadian adventures!
Angel, I used to HATE the taste of most things maple, especially maple cookies, but the REAL maple products I tasted on the weekend were YUMMY. So, I think it's artificial maple flavouring I hate (just like I don't like artificial "watermelon" or "blueberry" flavoured candies).

Luckily my oldest already knows how to chain. Phew. Now, let's just get my youngest on board and then I can think about teaching single crochet at some long distant, future date. Along with sewing machine etiquette, and techniques, and how to bloody not sew your finger into your patchwork. I need more time.
My baby and the Crochet Chronicles
Like this?
Yes, perfect, yarn goes over, under, over. Now, stick that pointer finger straight out and pinch the yarn with your middle finger and thumb, no, not that finger, this finger. Now, with your hook go under, around, turn hook, and pull through!
That was easy!!! Let me do it all by myself.
I can do this BY MYSELF, you know.
Yes, I know you can.
This is fun, huh Mama?
***Really get that elbow working for you, not against you***
Under, around, turn hook and pull through! Good job! Oh wait, not that way, the other way. Through there, turn, loosen the yarn just a touch, not that much, and pull.
Great job Sweetie!
When can we practice again?
Ohhhhhh, I don't know, in a while? Someday? Soon, I promise-ish.
I love to sew!!!!!
Thanks for reading!

In a letter of interest for a teaching position, any past experience as a teacher or teacher's assistant should be included. Details of teacher training programs completed and certifications obtained should be outlined, as well.
Several elements go in a letter of interest for a teaching position. Professionals who are applying for a position as a teacher can mention their experience in the field. They can emphasize the number of years they have worked in the sector and their dedication to promote student learning; these can include paid positions or unpaid volunteer work. Applicants can demonstrate what they have learned through their experience working with children and how they have grown. They can speak about what they have enjoyed most about teaching and what they hope to achieve when they are hired at the new school.
Individuals who are new to the profession and have no teaching experience can highlight the training courses they have taken and any certificates they may have earned. They may also discuss their educational background and any experience that involves working closely with children. Motivation for pursuing a career in the profession should be included, as well as unique characteristics and any skills they may bring to the institution. For example, those who are applying to schools in diverse communities can reflect on how their solid exposure to various cultures makes them a good fit for the organization.
Finally, letters of interest for a teaching position must be proofread for accuracy and completeness. Letters that are poorly written or contain grammatical errors often reflect poorly on the candidate.

A good start to a new year-
I am still waiting on the package of gold plated sewing needles from England for the kits.....I wish people would ship as quickly as I do.
Then the model stitching.....most of the time I just start stitching for a small pattern that I have in my head and then I make a chart for it after it is done. It just works out better that way for me. I would rather have a model stitcher helping me but unless I had the stitcher right next to me to make changes....it just wouldn't work. So these darn arthritic hands are slowly sewing a little design each evening and I hope to be done with at least one color for each of the kits soon. I want to do several for each color....the navy blue and cream/tan, the antique red and cream, and the black and tan. Can't forget the gingerbread....and the red brick for little houses....and the TURTLES! Those go with the hare.....
So I think I am off to a good start for this new year....and if the rain and dark clouds clear up soon I will be able to start taking a few pictures. I would love to show you this mountain of fabrics, trims, buttons and patterns.
I will also be having a fund raiser for a friend of mine who was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. Please stay tuned for that and as soon as I have the first kits available I will announce the details. I will also have a give-away for a few of the new kits. You knew I was going to do that, didn't you?!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

For years, UnitedHealth Group UNH -0.16 % has spoiled its investors. That came back to bite the stock Thursday.
Third-quarter revenue came in at $ 41.5 billion and earnings per share at $ 1.65, both of which topped analyst estimates. Yet the shares dipped as the company's net profit margin of 3.8% fell 1.1 percentage points from a year earlier. UnitedHealth attributed the weaker margin, in part, to greater levels of lower-paying, government-sponsored benefits business.
Perhaps the real trouble for the stock, however, is the high bar that the health-insurance giant has set with its track record.
Consider, for instance, that UnitedHealth's quarterly earnings haven't missed analyst forecasts in at least the past five years, according to FactSet. So while this quarter's result topped expectations by one cent, it was the weakest performance relative to expectations in more than a year.
UnitedHealth also affirmed, rather than raised guidance, for full-year earnings. For most companies, that would be a positive. For UnitedHealth, that is something of a disappointment: it had raised forecasts in the previous two quarters.
Investors shouldn't miss the forest for the trees, however. It's premature to worry that UntitedHealth's underlying business is weakening. In the nine months through September, revenue is up 17% year over year and earnings 12%.
Earnings per share likely would have come in even higher with more share repurchases. UnitedHealth's $ 12.8 billion acquisition of pharmacy-benefit manager Catamaran, which closed in July, has temporarily restrained buybacks as the company opts to deleverage its balance sheet. So far in 2015, the company has bought back $ 1.1 billion worth of stock, down from $ 3 billion a year ago.
Any worries about UnitedHealth's prospects may be overdone. That said, the stock's buoyant valuation is a hurdle in and of itself. The shares fetch nearly 17 times forward earnings, according to FactSet. That is well higher than their five-year average of 12.6 times. Aetna AET 0.73 % and Anthem, ANTM 1.25 % meanwhile, trade closer to 13 times.
At that kind of multiple, simply meeting expectations means UnitedHealth's stock is only likely to tread water.

The Perfect Gift
This was going to be their gift to each other and the perfect way to begin the biggest adventure of all – their lives together.
This was going to be their gift to each other and the perfect way to begin the biggest adventure of all – their lives together.
Destination Vows wedding stories
They noted the infinity pool that seemed to stretch into the ocean, the sailboats and kayaks ready for adventure if they chose to do so, and the friendly staff members ready to cater to the desires of the guests.
Saying I Do again in a destination like no other: Fiji!
When Andrew proposed to his then-girlfriend Laura 20 years ago, he was never expecting to be whisked off to exotic Fiji for a surprise vow renewal with his soul mate two decades later.
Twilight glistened over Jamaica's Negril Bay as Ann & Joe Bulak wrapped themselves in each other's arms and danced to the ethereal music floating through the air. "I have loved you for a thousand years," promised Christina Perri's smooth, sure vocals, "I'll love you for a thousand more." It was a bold vow but nothing new for this modern couple who like to savor everything life has to offer … and then some.
How They Met As a bilingual girl growing up in California, who often spent time in Hungary with her extended family, Agnes developed a love for travel and learning about different cultures, so it's no surprise that she earned her graduate degree in international law and later moved to Madrid – knowing no one there […]
They had already been living together for some time and had a one year old daughter, Alexia. So when Krysta and Robert decided to finally tie the knot, they were sure they just wanted something low key, luxurious and family-friendly – a way to celebrate their vows and also include their beautiful daughter.
As family and guests awaited the arrival of Raquel, they were in awe of the beautiful wedding location.
We were at "Il Madison" in Realmonte, Italy, on a mountain overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and Italian countryside. I turned to Vito and said, "One day, when we get married, this is it where will happen."
I had spent months researching and had actually even booked our wedding in Maui, but as the cost of that wedding kept going up and up, so did my stress level, and we cancelled. Luckily we found a great Destination Vows specialist…
While many of my destination wedding couples want to share their special day with family and friends, others are looking for nothing more than a small, intimate affair.
We met 4 years ago through friends at a local pub and immediately there were sparks…

Tamil Nadu's organic revolution
With chemical farming becoming uneconomical and grain yields declining, more and more farmers are switching to organic agriculture, says natural scientist G Nammalvar in this interview with Claude Alvares. Nammalvar has been training organic farmers and setting up learning centres in Tamil Nadu for three decades. Trainings sometimes need to be held in marriage halls in order to accommodate up to 1,000 farmers
Dr G Nammalvar is an organic scientist who has been working on sustainable farming and organic practices. For over four decades he has been educating farmers against large-scale mono-crop farming and against international patents on Indian traditional knowledge. His work in desalinating over 6,000 acres of land after the 2004 tsunami earned him much recognition. Nammalvar works primarily in Tamil Nadu, but also travels in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra, holding workshops and convincing farming communities to stop using harmful pesticides and fertilisers, and, more recently, GM seeds. He has written extensively (mostly in Tamil) and published books and articles on these practices
You are very well known in Tamil Nadu as an organic farmer and natural scientist. How did you get involved with organic farming, considering that you have a college degree, a BSc in agriculture?
I was not altogether new to farming. Earlier, my brothers and I worked on my father's land in the traditional way of farming. However, after I attended agricultural college where I got a BSc in agriculture, I started using modern methods at the Agricultural Research Station in Koilpatti, which were intended for rainfed crops in black cotton soil. Later, I joined a voluntary organisation called Islands of Peace, Kalakad, founded by 1958 Nobel Peace Prize-winner Rev Father Dominique Pire, and there too I was asked to use Green Revolution practices. But it was under irrigated conditions. We helped farmers dig wells and install pumpsets. After working for 10 years, I realised that only the traders were flourishing and that farmers were either in debt or their condition had remained the same. So I got fed up and left the organisation. I decided to directly help farmers who were suffering. For a long time I searched for methods that would really help farmers.
My colleagues and I started an organisation called Kurumbam in Thanjavur district, in 1981, where we began training villagers in social forestry activities. The word kurumbam means 'family'. However, I found that here too the forest department was not prepared to change its attitude. It was only interested in planting eucalyptus on grazing land and thorny subabool trees in the lake. In 1983, there was a very big movement in Tamil Nadu regarding the social forestry programme. Around that time, I attended a seminar in Auroville where I was introduced to Bernard Declerq. He took me to see his 3-acre farm and explained things to me. That was good inspiration! He recommended me to Agriculture Man Ecology (AME, a development-oriented, non-government organisation devoted to promoting sustainable agricultural practices). It was then that I realised a systematic approach was necessary for rural farmers to improve their condition, since all their problems were inter-related.
At the end of two or three years there was a suggestion from different groups to attempt certification, as project-holders of NGOs were given only an introductory course which was not sufficient for certification. Three organisations came together to conduct a social forestry programme. Kurumbam and AME conducted Tamil training programmes for field workers on ecological farming. And we started a movement -- Low External Input Sustainable Agriculture (LEISA) -- in 1990 with farmers and NGOs as its members.
What is the motivation for farmers to switch to organic farming?
There are three main reasons. One: farmers have realised that land and the natural environment cannot be sustained through chemical farming. All food is poisoned through modern farming. Second: the farmer finds that the cost and quantum of inputs are increasing day by day and so he cannot pay back his loans. The result is that small and marginal farmers are losing their lands or they are allowing the land to remain fallow and migrating to the river belts for seasonal jobs, or to other states and countries for menial jobs in order to survive. Third: the export market is facing a problem as importers of food materials in European countries and the USA find that our food contains too much pesticide. They insist that these are removed and that the food has to be organic. So the pressure to change is coming from the export market also. Finally, techniques have so improved that a farmer can switch to organic farming without losing too much income. But most of all, farmers are interested in organic farming because chemical farming has become uneconomical, and grain yields have started declining. These are the prime reasons.
How is it that for the last 30-40 years we got sucked into this chemical way?
The State wanted more grain production. It started brainwashing the people. People were given fertilisers practically free, or at heavily subsidised rates. Even now in Tamil Nadu, electricity is completely free for farmers so that they can go in for irrigated agriculture. But once the government stops subsidies on chemical inputs, farmers will have to stop using them or change over to some other way of farming. Without water, chemical farming is impossible.
Do farmers make the switch from chemical to organic farming at one go?
No. When they start thinking about switching they come for more information. They start by switching first to herbal pest repellents. Then they go in for organic methods of growing crops, and lastly, they will switch to growing indigenous varieties. Thus they are not switching over completely but on a piecemeal basis.
Are those farmers who are doing organic farming convinced that the yield is comparable to that from chemical farming?
Oh yes, they are convinced. But right now their concern is at the economic level. In organic farming we are not spending on external inputs. At the same time, it is labour-intensive. I met a landed woman farmer who said that she was prepared to give the land on a contract basis for banana plantation instead of growing crops herself because it was too costly. Basically, in our state there are a lot of industries coming up and agricultural labour wages are high. Often it becomes difficult to get labour.
What other obstacles do farmers who may wish to convert to organic farming face?
On the economic plane, many farmers think more about money and not about their home needs and families. On the cultural plane, they are tied up with family pressures. Also, women are not involved. Secondly, companies that manufacture and distribute chemicals, hybrid seeds and machinery, and the so-called scientists in universities, deter farmers from switching over to organic farming. Universities act against organic farming by teaching and encouraging modern hybrid varieties, genetically modified seeds and precision farming. That is a major problem. However, farmers' movements are giving support to the organic farming movement.
Would you say that there is an organic farming movement underway in Tamil Nadu? How was the movement initiated and how is it being sustained?
In every district in Tamil Nadu there are farms cultivating in the organic way. Some of them are fit for training, and about half the 100 farms need to be upgraded to become learning centres. Nowadays, a team of experts conducts training on the farm itself. Thirty to forty participants in each batch are trained for three days; we have conducted many such training sessions. As for organisations, there are always people with initiative and leadership. When the NGO or farmers' forum arranges meetings, sometimes around 1,000 farmers attend. Sometimes they are arranged in marriage halls! MPs and MLAs have also participated in and attended these meetings. In 2008, Anandha Vigadan, a well-known Tamil weekly, and our foundation, Nammalvar Ecological Foundation for Farm Research and Global Food Security, together organised seminars and trainings. Anandha Vigadan publishes a Tamil fortnightly called Paumai Vikatan, and three other monthly magazines that promote organic agriculture. Kalluppu, a Tamil monthly published by the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore, carries articles on growing trees, ecology, the environment and natural farming. The popular English daily, The Hindu, publishes organic farming case studies every Thursday. All India Radio and TV stations broadcast news and pictures on organic farming. Our connections with NGOs working in other states like Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Pondicherry, Maharashtra and Orissa help us share experiences and seeds.
Coming to the different rice varieties, what is the status of the older seeds? How many farmers are using them?
When I visit remote areas, the old seeds are still available. Some farmers are still growing them, even under dry conditions. Only those strains will remain. Otherwise in the dry belt where tank water is available they have switched to high-yielding varieties. They say that within three months the grain will come up. In some places they have started re-using the old varieties. Biodiversity is imperative to adapt to different ecosystems.
Everywhere in the countryside there are five or six plants which are cattle repellents, and the farmers know this very well. They grow easily, and if you put four or five leaves in a pot mixed with cow urine for 10 days, they start smelling. The farmers add 1 litre of this mixture to 10 litres of water and they spray it on the leaves to prevent insect attacks. Even the most damaging pest -- the red hairy caterpillar found in groundnuts -- can be controlled if it is sprayed with this mixture. Secondly, most farmers are going in for composting, and quite a good number are going in for vermicomposting (local worms are best suited for vermiculture as they are more adaptable and survive).
Is organic farming a very complicated business or a very simple business? What are the main principles that farmers should keep in mind when doing organic farming?
The most important aspect is our health; this is the first principle and the basic reason for doing organic farming. Second, we should allow nature to help us. We should not do anything that will hamper the natural cycle, like disturbing soil microbes that fix atmospheric nitrogen in the soil. Third, we should put agricultural by-products to different use as was being done in the old days. Fourth, no waste either within the farm or outside the farm should be burnt because in organic farming nothing is a waste; the so-called waste is nothing but misplaced resources. Fifth, we should depend on indigenous seeds and indigenous cattle breeds. If farmers are well trained, they can easily opt for pure line selection. It is very important that farmers do not buy seeds from outside. When a farmer buys seeds from outside, he has no information or knowledge about the growth or performance of the plant. That's why he should use seeds only from his own field or get seeds from other farmers and then sow them in his farm. Sixth, the farmer must realise that the plant is a producer and not a consumer. We must enrich the soil; healthy soil will take care of the plant. All this may appear complicated, but farmers are able to pick up these ideas quite easily especially if they are discussed in farmer groups.
What are the basic practices you would recommend to organic farmers?
First, take care to select a pure line of seed. Second, collect maximum biomass from the farm and from the neighbourhood for mulching. Third, rear earthworms and release them into the field. Fourth, go in for bio pest repellents that can be used on a large-scale with no ill effects. Fifth, use panchagavya made from cattle urine, dung, milk, curd and groundnut cake. In Tamil Nadu, with the help of Dr Natarajan, we have been able to improve on the original formula. We have added four more ingredients to the original five -- coconut water, banana, sugarcane juice and toddy. With these nine components we are able to protect plants, improve the health of animals, and reduce diseases of any kind in human beings. We also prepare panchagavya from materials sourced from goats.
What is your vision for the next three years?
First, very intensive work is needed to continue our campaigns of promoting organic farming, achieving a GMO-free India, making farmers' seeds local, promoting rainwater harvesting and millet crops, converting urban waste to useful products, protecting water sources, establishing seed certification, and protecting the cow. For all these to have an impact, a nationwide NGO-farmer network is essential. Second, to carry out these activities on a wider scale, we need a large number of trainers. So we have to continually conduct training programmes and support trainers who can educate people at the local and grassroots level on all aspects of organic farming -- cultivation, marketing, preservation techniques, etc.

Recently, our small business debt relief lawyers have noticed that many of our clients are unaware about the ins and outs of small business debt. Having a substantial amount of knowledge on all thing related to business debt, our lawyers clarify some of the myths surrounding business debt.
- Business expansion not possible without debt.
Simply not true. Fortune 500 companies Apple Computer, Mattel Toys or Starbucks all started with next to nothing. According to research conducted by Census Bureau's, 60% of all small businesses opened in a given year require less than $5,000 to start . Most entrepreneurs prefer not to begin their dream saddled with huge debt.
- A line of credit is needed to cover cash-flow inconsistencies.
This is not true. Entrepreneurs who exercise good accounting and budgeting practices, irrespective of whether they are seasonal or unpredictable, are able forecast their cash flow and be prepare for down times during the year. In addition, having some cash saved (retained earnings) allows you to become your own line of credit and prevent merchant cash advances as well as other forms of borrowing.
- Large purchases require debt.
It's quite clear that incurring debt should be avoided as much as possible. However, does the same apply to larger purchases such as real estate or pricey equipment? Planning ahead and saving means that you do not have to incur large amount of debt. If you absolutely require expensive equipment, here are a few options available:
- Rent until you can pay cash.
- Outsources to avoid going into debt.
- Buys used instead of new at a substantially lower cost.
- You have to file for business bankruptcy if you cannot keep up with your debt.
Businesses who have made the mistake of undertaking large amounts of debt thing that bankruptcy is the only option. Depending on your lender and the type of loan, there are several debt relief strategies available to you. If you have defaulted on a business loan, have been issued with a lawsuit or are on the brink of default, our attorneys at ZocLaw.com can help. Also see:

Thirty-Second Attorney General 1871-1875
George Henry Williams was born in New Lebanon, New York, on March 26, 1823. He received an academic education, studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1844. He moved to Iowa and began practicing law at Ft. Madison. In 1847, he was elected judge of the first judicial district of the State. He was appointed chief justice of the Territory of Oregon in 1853, reappointed in 1857 and resigned in 1857. He was a member of the Oregon Constitutional Convention which preceded the formation of the State government. From 1865 to 1871 Williams served as United States Senator from Oregon. In 1871 he was a member of the commission to settle the Alabama claims from the Treaty of Washington. On December 14, 1871, President Grant appointed him Attorney General of the United States. Williams was nominated to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1873, but was never confirmed. He resigned the Attorney General post in 1875. He died on April 4, 1910 in Portland, Oregon.
Thorp was born in Ohio in 1844 and did not begin the study of art until he was twenty years old. During the 1870's he maintained a studio in the United States Capitol and painted many Government officials and other notables, including Grant, Lee, Sherman and Sheridan.
One of his portraits of Abraham Lincoln (made from earlier sketches) was purchased in 1920 for exhibition in the Senate Corridor of the United States Capitol.
Thorp's portrait of Attorney General Akerman was painted in 1875.

About Armstrong
Interdisciplinary Studies Provide Total Engagement
From exploring Savannah's historical sites to sharing research with high-level representatives from Pearson publishing company, two Armstrong professors ensure that students discover the connections between academic fields.
Allison Belzer, assistant professor of history, and Beth Howells, associate professor of English, combined forces to teach honors freshmen classes and an interdisciplinary upper level course. Their goal was to show how the historical and the rhetorical influence each other.
The professors gave their freshmen students hands-on learning experiences by providing field trips to local historical sites. The classes visited the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum and downtown Savannah, where students learned the rhetorical meanings behind several of the squares' monuments and walked through Colonial Park Cemetery.
"It's about synthesis, and it's about real knowledge," Howells said. "We try to make sure the students use the information they are learning; otherwise it's not theirs."
At the end of the semester, students demonstrated their knowledge by creating a seven-day historical field trip. Groups designed and wrote a blog about their proposed trip, arguing the historical significance of each site using persuasive writing techniques.
"We are extremely pleased with the work our students have produced this semester," Belzer said. "It's great to see how much work they have put into each project."
Belzer and Howells continued to bridge academic fields in their upper level interdisciplinary class, where students investigated nineteenth-century Britain from a literary and historical perspective.
The final project of the course required students to create their own Longman Cultural Edition of Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford, Lord Alfred Tennyson's Idylls of the King, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes or Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. Using primary texts, images and scholarly articles, each student's edition assists future readers to better understand the noteworthy texts.
Senior English communications major Kimberly Knox studied Cranford. The project involved two months of introductory work and about three weeks of intense preparation. "Especially with history and English, so much is tied together. Without combining them, you don't get the full value of what you are studying," Knox said.
Since Pearson's Longman Cultural Editions was used as inspiration for the project, Howells and Belzer contacted the publishing company to spread the word about the unique assignment. Impressed with the scope of the idea, two agents arranged to meet with the students and offered to sponsor a luncheon to showcase their projects.
Pearson representatives Joyce Nilsen, the executive marketing manager for literature in higher education, and Amanda Bacher, the publisher representative for humanities and sciences in higher education, came to Savannah especially for the event.
The students received critical reviews of their work from the professionals, as well as from other Armstrong faculty. The student projects inspired by the Longman Cultural Editions encouraged studying texts from multiple academic perspectives.
"It's very impressive," Nilsen said. "It's the direct opposite of what you hear about students not being interested. It's total engagement."
