Spiritual medium and healer Rosemary Altea touched the lives of millions with her New York Times bestseller The Eagle and the Rose. In this classic work, Altea described how she discovered her gift, and recounted the miraculous experiences she had in her early years of connecting the living with the dead. In A Matter of Life and Death, she shares inspiring new stories of working with her spirit guide, Grey Eagle, to help sick and troubled people heal, to help people recognize their true path in life, or to help people find peace in reuniting with departed loved ones.
Born and raised in England, from the time she was a young girl Rosemary Altea heard voices and had visions of people who had died. But feeling threatened by her mother, the young Rosemary kept silent about the strange, menacing faces she saw in the dark. In the 1970s, now in her mid-thirties with a ten-year-old daughter of her own, Rosemary was abandoned by her husband. Nearing rock bottom emotionally, she began to nurture her spiritual gifts. She claims it was her spirit guide Grey Eagle who advised her to publish her first book, The Eagle and the Rose. Even as the world has come to accept—even revere—people who have the ability to communicate with the dead, with various mediums gracing the bestseller list and with such television shows as The Medium and Ghost Whisperer high in the ratings, in recent years Rosemary Altea has had to struggle to realize the transformational power of her work. From defending her integrity as a medium in a vicious lawsuit to coping with the loss of a friend who was very close to her heart, now Altea brings us A Matter of Life and Death, detailing a new chapter in her rich personal history as she recounts story after story of remarkable encounters with the spirit world-encounters that will amaze and inspire Altea's millions of fans.

Date Published:
April 22, 2014
While she was writing columns for The Irish Times and her best-selling novels, Maeve Binchy also had in mind to write a book that revolved around one street with many characters coming and going. Every once in a while, she would write about one these people. She would then put it in a drawer. "For the future," she would say. The future is now.
Just around the corner from St. Jarlath's Crescent (which readers will recognize from Minding Frankie) is Chestnut Street, where neighbors come and go. Behind their closed doors we encounter very different people with different life circumstances, occupations, and sensibilities. Written with the humor and understanding that are earmarks of Maeve Binchy's work, it is a pleasure to be part of this world with all of its joys and sorrows, to get to know the good and the bad, and ultimately to have our hearts warmed by her storytelling.

If you want everyone to work together (Dag, ATrpms, CentOS, > EPEL) then respecting each others concerns is a good start. Adding > %{repotag} is really not that big of a deal, is it? I'm sort of up in the air on this one. Fedora Extras is, er, was, an official project endorsed by RH, had no repotag, and EPEL is just an extension of this same project. Since its an official repo, it requires no repotag to identify the package. Of course, Fedora and RHEL are a wee bit different, and making the distinction that's easy to see at a glance between core RHEL packages and EPEL-for-RHEL certainly does have some merit that it doesn't have (or didn't when Extras was separate) in Fedora-land. It would likely be of help to RH support if they could tell if a package was from RHEL-proper or from EPEL without having to look anything up... -- Jarod Wilson jwilson redhat com

Awwww....remember when this happened? Back in late July of 2014, the night before SDCC ended, some enterprising maniac leaked the Deadpool movie test footage starring Ryan Reynolds. It was this wonderful event and the ensuing fan reaction that probably forced 20th Century Fox to wake up and actually make this movie.
We thought it might be nice to remind you of this right before 20th Century Fox gives us our first OFFICIAL Deadpool footage in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday. Watch it one more time and make sure you put on your brown pants.
Enjoy our original story from July of 2014...
How legit is this Deadpool movie test footage that leaked online in the middle of SDCC? It's so legit that 20th Century Fox is taking these videos down as fast as we can find them. Forgive me if the video isn't here by the time you read this.
Usually, we don't do leaked footage. It's ugly. It's low rent. The videos disappear, leaving a YouTube shaped hole in our hearts on the page. I'd like to think we're better than that.
But this Deadpool movie test footage is just too delicious to pass up. It's CG, but it's just meant to test the timing of the dialogue, the music, and give everyone an idea of how the action should play out. This is definitely the opening sequence from Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick's hilarious Deadpool draft circa 2010, and that's definitely Ryan Reynolds' voice.
[related article: The Deadpool Movie's Long, Strange Journey]
Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld has not only confirmed that this is the same test footage that 20th Century Fox showed him, but that the Deadpool you're watching is actually a Ryan Reynolds motion capture performance. That makes this that much closer to being the Deadpool movie that you may or may not ever actually get to see.
If I were you, I'd sit here and watch this clip a few more times. It might not be here when you get back.
So, you think this clip is a little violent? Perhaps a bit over the top? oof...you should read the next one hundred and something or other pages of the script!
Here's our plea to 20th Century Fox: let this Deadpool clip live. Put it out there yourselves. Fans have been desperately clamoring for this flick for years, and while we understand the reluctance to make an R-rated superhero movie (and, make no mistake, this footage comes from a screenplay that would absolutely be a hard "R"), just let the fans have a little something.

Running gags in this episode: 1. In Lie, Cheetah, Steal, Coach Gills narrates in her head and people around her can hear it.
2. In An Inconvenient Goof, Adam Lyon keeps saying that his hair-do is not a perm, even though in the end, it turns out that it is a perm.
"Lie, Cheetah, Steal" Billboard gag: Say no to Slugs.
We learn that Margaret, Joanie, and Latanya have perfect attendance all year.
Marks the second time Adam and Jake are at the Arctic side of the school, the first in "Cool Kids."
We learn the Narwhal's name is Marco.
Cheetahs cannot retract their claws, so why did Mr. Cheetah have them retracted before he climbed the tree?
Mr. Cheetah's statement's about himself are based on fact:
Cheetahs are not actually the fastest land animal. See, speed can be measured as either the distance someone travels in a period of time, or the number of body lengths a person can travel in a second. The tiger beetle does 171 LENGTHS PER SECOND, compared to the cheetahs 25.
Cheetahs still need water, but it's possible that they can go a while without much water.
Cheetahs are the only cat species that cannot retract its claws, This gives it grip so it can go faster and make sharp turns easily while chasing prey.
The cricket in the start of "Lie, Cheetah, Steal", is from the Episode "Grub Drive" who said "Sorry." in both episodes.
Jake: Kinetic energy plus potential energy equals constant energy.
Gills: Stop talking about the Schroedinger equations, Spidermonkey!
An Inconvenient Truth:
The episode title segment of An Inconvenient Goof is a play-on word reference to the Al Gore documentary of An Inconvenient Truth. Also, both the movie and the episode segment had global warming as a focus point.
The push-icle that Horris is struggling with is similar to the Push-up, a yogurt popsicle that you push up, hence the name.

I think a thicker lining would introduce other issues; weight difference between lined and unlined tip; separation of silk from lining in the dimple; etc.It's really just the silk that was too thin on this. IMO.I love the look of the ties I got from this run but they definitely leave a kind of unsatisfactory feeling in how flimsy they are. I think Ed said next run will be a little heavier.

What is the Meaning of Life?Paperback 208 p., with DVD included, 92 Min.Destiny, Freedom, and the Soul: What Is the Meaning of Life? explores deeply human questions, such as: Is there really such a thing as "soul," and if so, what is it? Where does the concept of karma fit in? Does my life have a special meaning or purpose?
Includes an original talk by Osho on DVD: "Life is a Mystery to be lived" (From: "The Goose is out" #9).This visual component enables the reader to experience the direct wisdom and humor of Osho straight from the source.
Content: 1 The Mystery of "Who Am I?" 2 In Search of Meaning 3 Self, No-Self, and Reincarnation 4 Destiny, Fate, and Karma 5 In Search of Freedom Epilogue
Hardbound, 237 pages
A fascinating journey into many mysterious realms of our existence, including what happens to a per-son after death, reincarnation, the esoteric roots of religious experience, and the dimension of time. There is also an account of the Tibetan practice of Bardo. The beauty of this book is that it explains metaphysical concepts in a simple and comprehensive way, at the same time presenting some challenging new perspectives on the universe and what makes it tick.
"In the past it was necessary for some things to remain secret, because knowledge in the hands of the ignorant can be dangerous... We must wait for the time when man becomes so capable that the knowledge can be made open and it will not be dangerous... But now, because of scientific progress, the moment has come for it to be made open. Science will prove dangerous if spiritual, esoteric truths still remain unknown. They must be made open so that spiritual knowledge will be able to keep pace with scientific knowledge."
A beautiful hardbound edition of this all-time favorite in which Osho recalls his rebellious and mischievous childhood. A wonderful series of anecdotes and stories that include tales of the artists, musicians, magicians and enlightened beings who befriended him as a child. Excerpt from Glimpses of a Golden Childhood:
"I love stories, and all this started with my Nani. She was a lover of stories too. Not that she used to tell me stories, just the contrary; she used to provoke me to tell her stories, all kinds of stories and gossips. She listened so attentively that she made me into a story teller. Just for her I would find something interesting, because she would wait the whole day just to listen to my story. If I could not find anything, then I would invent. She is responsible: all credit or blame, whatsoever you call it, goes to her. I invented stories to tell her just so she would not be disappointed, and I can promise you that I became a successful story teller just for her sake. I started winning in competitions when I was just a child in primary school, and that continued to the very end, when I left university. I collected so many prizes, medals and cups and shields and whatnot, that my grandmother became just a young girl again. Whenever she would bring someone to show them my prizes and awards, she was no longer an old woman, she became almost young again. Her whole house became almost a museum because I went on sending her my prizes. Up till high school, of course, I was almost a resident in her house. It was just for courtesy's sake that I used to visit my parents in the daytime; but the night was hers, because that was the time to tell the stories. I can still see myself by the side of her bed, with her listening so attentively to what I was saying. Each word uttered by me was absorbed by her as if it were of immense value. And it became valuable just because she took it in with so much love and respect. When it had knocked on my door it was just a beggar, but when it entered into her house, it was no longer the same person. The moment she called me, saying, "Raja! Now tell me what happened to you today -- the whole thing -- promise me you will not leave out anything at all," the beggar dropped all that made him look like a beggar; now he was a king. Every day I had to promise her, and even though I told her everything that happened, she would insist, "Tell me something more," or "Tell me that one again." Many times I said to her, "You will spoil me; both you and Shambhu Babu are spoiling me forever." And they really did their job well. I collected hundreds of awards. There was not a single high school in the whole state where I had not spoken and won -- except once. Only once had I not been the winner, and the reason was simple. Everybody was amazed, even the girl who had won, because, she said to me, "It is impossible to think I could win against you." The whole hall -- and there must have been at least two thousand students -- became full of a great humming, and everybody was saying that it was unfair, even the principal who was presiding over the contest. Losing that cup became very significant to me; in fact, if I had not lost that cup, I would have been in great trouble. Of that I will tell you when the time comes. The principal called me and said, "I am sorry -- you are certainly the winner," and he gave his own watch to me saying, "This is far more costly than the cup which was given to that girl." And it certainly was. It was a gold watch. I have received thousands of watches, but I have never again received such a beautiful one; it was a real masterpiece. That principal was very interested in rare things, and his watch was a rare piece. I can still see it. I have received so many watches, but I have forgotten them. One of those watches is behaving strangely. When I need it, it stops. All the time it runs perfectly; it stops only at night between three and five. Is that not strange behavior? -- because that is the only time when I sometimes wake up -- just an old habit. In my younger days I used to wake up at three in the morning. I did it for so many years that even if I don't get up, I have to turn in my bed and then go back to sleep. That is the time when I need to see whether I should really get up, or I can still have a little more sleep; and strangely, that is when the watch stops. Today it stopped exactly at four. I looked at it and went back to sleep; four is too early. After sleeping for almost one hour, I again looked at the watch: it was still four. I said to myself, "Great, so tonight is never going to end." I went to sleep again, not thinking -- you know me, I am not a thinker -- not thinking that the watch may have stopped. I thought, "This night seems to be the last. I can sleep forever. Great! Just far out!" And I felt so good that it was never going to end that I fell asleep again. After two hours I again looked at the watch, and it was still four! I said, "Great! Not only is the night long, but even time has stopped too!" The principal gave me his watch, and said, "Forgive me, because you certainly were the winner, and I must tell you that the man who was the judge is in love with the girl who won the prize. He is a fool. I say it, even though he is one of my professors and a colleague. This is the last straw. I am throwing him out right now. This is the end of his service in this college. This is too much. I was in the presidential chair, and the whole auditorium laughed. It seems everybody knew the girl was not even able to speak, and I think nobody except her lover, the professor, even understood what she was saying. But you know, love is blind." I said, "Absolutely right -- love is blind, but why had you chosen a blind person to be the judge, particularly when his girl was a competitor? I am going to expose the whole thing." And I exposed it to the newspapers, telling them the whole story. It was really troublesome for the poor professor -- so much so that his love affair finished. He lost everything, his service, his reputation, and the girl for whose love he had staked everything -- all was lost. He is still alive. Once, as an old man, he came to see me, and confessed, "I am sorry, I certainly did something wrong, but I never thought that it was going to take such a shape." I said to him, "Nobody knows what an ordinary action is going to bring to the world. And don't feel sorry. You lost your service and your beloved. What did I lose? Nothing at all, just one more shield, and I have so many that I don't care." In fact my grandmother's house had become, by and by, just a museum for my shields, cups and medals; but she was very happy, immensely happy. It was a small house to be cluttered with all this rubbish, but she was happy that I went on sending her all my prizes, from college and from university. I went on and on, and every year I won dozens of cups, either for debate or for eloquence or for story-telling competitions. But I tell you one thing: both she and Shambhu Babu spoiled me by their being so attentive. They taught me, without teaching, the art of speaking. When somebody listens so attentively, you immediately start saying something you had not planned or even imagined; it simply flows. It is as if attention becomes magnetic and attracts that which is hidden in you. My own experience is that this world will not become a beautiful place to live in unless everybody learns how to be attentive. Right now, nobody is attentive. Even when people are showing that they are listening, they are not listening, they are doing a thousand other things. Hypocrites just pretending... but not the way an attentive listener should be -- just all attention, just attention and nothing else, just open. Attention is a feminine quality, and everybody who knows the art of attention, of being attentive, becomes, in a certain sense, very feminine, very fragile, soft; so soft that you could scratch him with just your nails. My Nani would wait the whole day for the time when I would come back home to tell her stories. And you will be surprised how, unknowingly, she prepared me for the job that I was going to do. It was she who first heard many of the stories that I have told you. It was her to whom I could tell any nonsense without any fear."
The real significance of temples, holy places and statues and the original purpose of mantras, astrology and incense has all been lost over the years. As we no longer know how to use them as jumping boards into the ultimate truth, they have either been debased into the mythical trappings of religions and "new age" beliefs or mocked by skeptics. But, explains Osho, once we understand that a higher consciousness is still flowing in these ancient places, all we have to do is turn in and stand in the middle of the stream and "with the sails of our consciousness open." Then, in such places, the inner journey is easier and faster than anywhere else.Chapter 1: Hidden Mysteries of Eastern TemplesChapter 2: The Alchemy of Places of PilgrimageChapter 3: The Occult Science of the Third EyeChapter 4: The Transforming Power of IdolsChapter 5: Astrology: The Science of Cosmic OnenessChapter 6 Astrology: A Door to Religiousness
Hardcover, 274 pagesTalks on the Sayings of Jesus
In I Say unto You, we are introduced to a dynamic, compassionate, intelligent, loving Jesus, who speaks in a plain and simple way that everyone can understand, rather than the longfaced, sad and tortured man often depicted down the centuries. Osho looks with a crystal-clear perception and humor at Jesus' work, inviting us to see the parables and miracles as metaphors of the inner world. He gives insight into Jesus' own search, and his journeys to the ancient mystery schools of Egypt, Kashmir and Tibet that transformed him into one of the most evolved masters of the two paths of love and meditation – so relevant for today's societies where the sharp functioning of the mind is more valued than the intelligence of the heart. Osho places Jesus amongst the great mystics of our time: an extraordinary man whose work went unacknowledged by his own people and was misunderstood by the creators of Christianity."When life is a mystery, only then are you religious." Osho Chapter 1: Be a Nobody and Have All Chapter 2: Come out of Your Mind Chapter 3: First Be Reconciled Chapter 4: Man Cannot Live without Meaning Chapter 5: A Journey between Two Infinities Chapter 6: Silence Belongs to the Universal Chapter 7: Life Is Open Opportunity Chapter 8: Live in Eternity Chapter 9: The Phenomenon of Unconsciousness Chapter 10: You Are a Mystery Excerpt from I Say Unto You, Vol.1
Paperback + DVD, 196 pages
The Osho Life Essentials series focuses on the most important questions in the life of the individual. Each volume contains timeless and always-contemporary investigations and discussions into questions vital to our personal search for meaning and purpose. The Osho Life Essentials series focuses on questions specific to our inner life and quality of existence, for example: Is it possible to have an authentic spirituality without a belief in God? What is meditation and how does it work? What can I do as an individual to make the world a better place? The third title in this dynamic and exciting series, Innocence, Knowledge, and Wonder, looks to each person's last state of innocence--childhood--to recover the ability to truly be curious. Osho discusses why it is important to look to our "inner child" and how it can help you understand the person you have become. Each title in the Osho Life Essential series is accompanied by a DVD of Osho speaking about the questions addressed in the book. This visual component enables the reader to experience the direct wisdom and humor of Osho straight from the source. Each book and DVD in the OSHO Life Essentials series offers truly unique and transformative responses to essential and timeless questions that we can use as stepping stones to a greater understanding of who we are and why we are here.
Paperback, 192 pages
Hit-and-run relationships are common in a society that has grown more rootless, less tied to traditional family structures, and more accepting of casual sex. But at the same time, there arises an undercurrent of feeling that something is missing - a quality of intimacy.In this gentle and compassionate guide, Osho takes the reader step-by-step through what makes people afraid of intimacy, how to encounter those fears and go beyond them, and what they can do to nourish themselves and their relationships to support more openness and trust.

Paperback, 180 pages with DVD included (Excerpt from "From Personality to Individuality")Timely and relevant to a society increasingly populated by people who depend on prescription drugs to get them through the day. Osho challenges us to look into the ways we so often create - and then cling to - our own unhappiness. And urges us to reconnect with the natural joy we were born with, and that is available to us the moment we turn our attention to the silent space within.

Hardcover, 365 pages
The one hundred short passages in this book are full of diverse, pertinent gems. They will touch your heart and your being. They will inspire your life, showing you how to turn each and every moment into bliss. If you have come to the point where you feel there must be something more to life and are ready to explore other dimensions of your being, this collection of thoughts will provide an essential road map."I teach discontent. I teach you to be discontented with just being a person. Human life is just a temporary stopover on the whole journey of life, not the final destination. And those who take it to be the final destination waste a priceless opportunity to rise beyond man. We are a midpoint in a long process of evolution. Our past was part of the journey and so is our future. Evolution does not end with us, it will transcend us also." Osho Chapter Titles Letters 1 - 100
Excerpt from Life Is a Soap Bubble:Truth is one, but the doors to find it can be many. And if you become attached to the door itself, you will stop at the door. Then the door of truth will never open for you. Truth is everywhere. Everything that is, is truth. It has infinite forms. It is just like beauty. Beauty manifests itself in many forms, but that does not mean that beauty itself is many different things. What glows in the stars at night, and what gives off fragrance in the flowers, and what shows in the eyes as love – are they different from each another? The forms may be different, but the very same essence is present in them all. But he who gets stuck at the form never comes to know the soul. And he who stops at the beautiful is never able to experience beauty itself. Likewise, those who get stuck with words will remain without the truth. Those who know this, transform obstacles on the path into stepping stones. And for those who do not know this, even stepping stones will become obstacles.

Full House to get a prize, Eyes Down Prepared.
Everyone wins using a Bingo Night Fundraiser!
We just held our own amazing bingo night, and would encourage our guests to do them same. It was incredibly fun, and you can do this to raise money for great causes! Bingo in forms or a variety of shapes is popular throughout the planet. The game is interesting and simple to organise, and is overall a truly sociable game. That makes it a great fundraiser for schools, churches, sports clubs or another non-profit organisation. What is more it also can be a fundraiser parents do jointly with children.
What's Bingo?
At its very simplest bingo involves someone calling some arbitrary numbers generally found on balls or small tiles chosen from a bag or with a bingo machine. Players have cards including a set number of amounts. They are able to cross it away if your number is called which matches one. The first to cross off each of their amounts (called a full house) wins.
The best way to organise –
A bingo night is ideal for just about any organisation planning to hold a social event that'll also raise capital. As with all the finest fundraising ideas money making that was other components may be added across the fundamental notion.
Locate the right place for the Bingo Night –
This obviously depends upon just how a lot of people you believe you are going to bring to your own occasion. Social clubs, school halls or church halls are perfect. And because of this, you should factor in catering facilities as well as a pub should you need one most bingo nights includes some type of refreshment.
Hint: If you're employing a school hall site do please ensure that there are a lot of seats the perfect size for grownups!
Bingo Evening Food –
This may take many forms according to the facilities at your site as well as the culinary skills of your group. It's better to incorporate some type of refreshment yet to produce an actual night of it. Frequently tickets for the Bingo Game may be sold to contain some sort of meal.
Things which can be cooked by volunteers ahead of time and after that reheated at the site are perfect. What about:
— Curry
— Chilli Con Carne
— Bolognaise
— Soup
If the place permits yet you might want to be a little more daring or join the bingo with something such as:
— Vegetable Soup
— Fish and Chips
— Chicken Fry
— Pizza
In case your bingo night fundraiser was related to holiday or a particular day you could obviously contain that motif, for example Irish Stew on St Patrick's Day or something related to sports tournaments like Soup Bowl for the Super Bowl etc.
Drink – be it soft drinks, booze or straightforward teas and coffees you'll have to offer some kind of beverage. With booze occasionally it's easier to possibly offer food but enable the site to provide the bar. Another easy alternative would be to really have a BYOB (bring your own bottle) system; this can also allow you to get around licensing demands. Do not forget to say this on advertisements and your tickets.
The Bingo Cards –
Bingo cards are easily bought from or on the Internet charity supply businesses.
It's overly easy yet to make and print your own using a grid system that is simple. 10 – 14 amounts per card is not paranormal. Most bingo sets use numbers 1 to 100.
Select your numbers carefully to include an excellent spread on the card. It's common to keep matters in numeric sequence as you proceed across or down the card. Some individuals want to buy cards that are additional and you will be marking off several at once so this keeps things simple.
To get a variation that is very affordable and simple you can also just provide players using a pencil as well as a clean grid. Prior to each match begins they can then fill within their very own lucky numbers.
Hint: Should you are doing this its interesting to get individuals to swap cards at least once throughout the evening. Confounding or helping your neighbour with unlucky or lucky numbers leads to a lot of good-natured banter!
Whatever cards you use have a lot of pencils available for visitors to work with.
The Bingo Caller –
Deciding on the best Bingo Caller will make or break and is essential. That is not a job for shrinking violets! You need someone pretty important but who can likewise make the event good natured and enjoyable.
It's not unusual for the caller to take a seat in the front. One by one call and they pull numbers from a bag of utilizing or tiles a bingo machine. Balls or these tiles are then put on a grid for checking cards that were winning. To the bag all the amounts are returned at the beginning of every game.
Bingo Lingo – In the event the caller uses specific calls for specific amounts it's conventional and significantly enhances the fun of any Bingo Night. Professional bingo callers develop their very own patter and you will have special favourites.
It's possible for you to locate all of the conventional calls with this list that is convenient but feel free to integrate or devise your own.
The Bingo Games –
The fundamental game is, the very first man to cross off or cover each of their amounts wins. That is named "House". The very first player to call "House" has their amounts checked off from the Caller and wins a prize.
It's standard yet for smaller prizes to be given inside the sport.
First "Line" is given to the initial entire row.
"Corners" is given to anyone finishing all four corners on their card.
It's best to just contain every time to any of these add-ons. Declare it at the beginning of every game.
How many rounds / matches it is possible to play in a evening is determined by how many your caller as well as players. A typical match with 100 amounts will usually take around a quarter-hour before a winner is available. Have a lot of spare cards for additional games in substitute and the most effective thing would be to be adaptable.
An excellent general format to get a bingo night is-
— 3 – 4 matches – 1 hour
— Refreshments and raffle to 1/2 hour
— 3 matches – 45 minutes -1 hour
To get some practice in before your big event, check out www.OnlineBingoFriends.com for Safe & Secure Online Bingo Gaming Sites.
Prizes – This depends on the type of your occasion and is actually up to you personally. Most charity bingo occasions are yet played for the fun of it and your prizes should reflect this.
Humorous prizes can increase the success of the evening. School pencils for instance make excellent non-serious prizes for winners of corners and lines. You might want to ask for donated prizes ahead of time or purchase in things that are appropriate.
The Best Way To Generate Income From Bingo Nights –
It's possible for you to bill for the evening in a variety of manners. Some organisations refreshments and prefer an all in cost for the evening that will have a card for each game. Others would rather bill per game. Consistently provide the the choice of buying additional cards as a means of improving the takings of the night.
Do make sure all of your other fundraisers that are normal, including items available, are on offer throughout the night. A raffle can also be a must and is an additional little bit of pleasure for the midst of the evening.
So would you believe a regular bingo night is a little? Put on a
"Blingo Evening"
All of your players must come dressed up to the nines on the very best evening wear, in glamourous and way an excessive amount of jewellery.
Ensure that you give fitting prizes to the Queen of Bling!
So there you've got it. It's comparatively simple for almost any organisation to put on although a Bingo Night Fundraiser will possibly never make you a fortune. Just as much as anything it's an excellent reason for getting folks together to get a fun comfortable in support of your cause.

Bracketing question on D7100 -Confused
I am trying to take 3 shots using bracketing. My settings are: A Priority F8; Bracketing set at +3 0.3 ISO A. Now when I take the 3 shots I get: 1/50 F8 ISO 100; 1/40 F8 ISO 110 and 1/40 F8 ISO 140. I guess I was expecting to see a shot at F8 then one before this F stop and one after this F stop. However, the only thing that changed was the shutter speed and the ISO. Is this way it is suppose to work? I took the same shot with S selected (250) and these results: 250 F3.5 ISO 100; 250 F3.5 ISO 125 and 250 F3.5 ISO 160. In this case the only thing that changed was the ISO. I thought the F stop should change. Maybe I am just confused as to how bracketing works.

Your bracketing is working properly. Is 1/40 sec your low shutter speed limit in the Auto ISO menu?
In your 2nd case when using shutter priority since you're using a f3.5 lens you're as wide open as you can get so the only thing that can change is ISO.
When I bracket my shots I never use the slowest shutter speeds, the widest apertures or Auto ISO. Actually I never use Auto ISO for any of my photos.

Looks like Len is pointing you in the right direction.
For bracketing, you need to be aware of what your min and max apertures of the lens are, your min and max shutter speeds of the camera are, and how much interference any of the "auto" features (like auto-ISO) are going to give you.
In your first run you bumped up against the min shutter-speed set in your auto-ISO settings. In the second run, you bumped up against the max aperture of the lens.
The more common settings for bracketing are similar to what you had in your first run (aperture priority). You just need to temporarily turn off the auto-ISO settings.

Vt. Senate supports board: No pets in hair salonsThe Associated Press | April 30,2013MONTPELIER - The Vermont Senate has gone on record supporting a state board's ruling that pets don't belong in barber shops and beauty parlors.
In a 14-13 vote, the Senate defeated an amendment by Democratic Sen. Richard Sears of Bennington that would have allowed animals in commercial hair-cutting establishments.
Sears says he pushed for the measure after an inspector for the state Board of Cosmetology cited Bennington-area businesses for allowing pets on the premises.
The measure failed after Sen. Anthony Pollina of Washington County argued that regulatory boards should be allowed to make such decisions without interference by lawmakers.
An exception is made for service animals like seeing-eye dogs, which are allowed in commercial establishments under the Americans With Disabilities Act.MORE IN This Just In

(HOUSTON, TX) -- Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. (NASDAQ: Rick) said today its consolidated club sales for October 2005 increased by 56.2 percent over the same month last year, driven in large part by revenue from new nightclubs in New York City and Charlotte, NC, and a sharp increase in alcoholic beverage and service sales. Rick's Cabaret operates adult nightclubs in four states.
Total nightclub revenue for the month of October 2005 was $1,778,639, compared with $1,138,742 in October 2004. Same club-same period nightclub revenue also rose by 10.3 percent in October over the same month last year, to $1,256,010 from $1,138,742. The figures do not include the former Rick's South Houston location, which was sold in March 2005.
"The increased revenue demonstrates the significant impact of our new midtown Manhattan location, which opened in September, and the growing brand name recognition that New York City brings to the company's other markets " according to Eric Langan, CEO of Rick's Cabaret. "We believe this increased brand recognition will allow us to remain a leader in the industry consolidation that is taking place at this time," he added.
The consolidated revenue figures included a 70.6 percent rise in alcoholic beverage sales, from $428,015 to $730,330, and a 49.7 percent increase in service revenues, from $552,550 to $827,071.

When You Reach Me
by Rebecca Stead
Analysis: Tone
Take a story's temperature by studying its tone. Is it hopeful? Cynical? Snarky? Playful?
Intimate, Eerie
The main voice in When You Reach Me is Miranda's, and throughout the novel we learn all about the things going on in her head. Her most intimate thoughts and feelings are revealed to us as she tells us about the events that happened last fall. Miranda doesn't edit much out. We know when she's irritated with her mom (3.31-3.32), the kids at school who she really dislikes (11.9), and when she's really missing Sal (Chapter 38). Because she doesn't hold back, we're free to connect with the character.
Because of the mysterious elements in the novel, the tone can be also pretty darn creepy – especially when Miranda references that "you" who has asked her to write a letter (1.5). We've been known to get goosebumps each time she turns to address the unknown person.

Global Short Term Trend: Relatively stable to decline of 30%
Comments: Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) data suggest a slow ongoing decline averaging around 10% over 10 years, which probably is close to three generations.
Global Long Term Trend: Unknown
Comments: Trend over the past 200 years is unknown, but this species appears to have undergone a slow decline over the past several decades. Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) data indicate a significant survey-wide decline averaging 1.1% per year during 1966-2007; this amounts to a 36% decline over this period. BBS abundance (average number of individuals per route) declined from 2.7-3.0 in the late 1960s and early 1970s to 2.0-2.4 in 2000-2007.

I think you have made a fair post Bonzai, raising some good points. Guess you're not Chelski loving julia after all!Personally, Im for Big Sam all the way, maybe Coppell or Jewell after him as I want someone English who can get us ticking, get us gelling as a team not as a bunch of individuals as under Sven and McClaren, and most importantly, someone who cares about England winning. No foreigner will enough for me.However jose knows the English mentality, knows the press, knows what the fans want now, is a MASTER at getting players to play to their best, is tactically a genius, and his interviews in the media would actually be worth paying for. The issue with young players is the only irrelevant point in your post as international football is different to club football. Besides, he showed with Mikel, Kalou and Robben that if you are good enough, you will play.

While it is a neat photo, it would be advisable not to sell it. Display would be questionable as well...Put it this way, if you have to question the legality of it, it might not be legal.If someone took your image and used it in the same way for profit without permission, you would be upset, no?

Hi I am currently a tenant with this reality company and I jus had to let you know that she has gave us the same speach and the reason she is screwing u we have found out is because she is not the realtor her sister is and she has absolutely no authority to say what she said and can bot follow through with the agreement even if it was in writing because all she is is a property manager. her sister gives the final say. That's if she even gets the info.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Awesome rug and fantastic purchase !!!!!!!!
I loved the rug and the service.
This rug is thick and very soft, of such good quality, and so beautiful!!! An excellent buy. Staff was very helpful and so nice.
This rug is charming, well made and colorful. I liked it so much, I bought an additional one to use in a few years when my son (now 2) is done dumping food all over it.
Rug is exactly colors as pictured. I like it so much because it is thin and dining chairs in my breakfast room slide easily over it!

AbstractThe paper describes the shifting perspective from the contemplative view to the dynamic-evolutionary view of heritage and the main characteristics of the resulting multi-criterial decision-aid tool for the evaluation of heritage. With the integration of conservation in planning processes and with opening of the procedures to public participation, there is a need for decision-aid tools that can help increase rationality and transparency in decision-making processes related to planning. By understanding the contemporary view of heritage and the landscape, it is possible to create tools capable of accounting for spatial complexity and the extant cultural, social, historic and economic relations. With this in mind, a specific tool was created that can be used for the analysis, diagnosis, evaluation and monitoring of spatial heritage (registered and under consideration for protection), identifying opportunities, defining strategies for heritage management processes, and in the creation and evaluation of development and management scenarios. The paper illustrates a shift in the consideration of heritage in spatial planning and presents an application of the developed model in a case study.

Maritime Security:
Better Planning Needed to Help Ensure an Effective Port Security Assessment Program
GAO-04-1062: Published: Sep 30, 2004. Publicly Released: Sep 30, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(415) 904-2200
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Created in the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Port Security Assessment Program was designed to evaluate security at the nation's 55 most economically and militarily strategic ports. Implemented by the U.S. Coast Guard, an agency of the Department of Homeland Security, the program focuses on identifying vulnerabilities, suggesting approaches to minimize them, and making the information available to those responsible for developing and implementing portwide security plans. The program has been under way for more than 2 years and has undergone several sets of changes, including the addition of a geographic information system (GIS). GAO was asked to discuss why and how the program changed and assess the Coast Guard's approach for implementing the program in its current form.
Changes in the Port Security Assessment Program reflect attempts to deal with two main developments since the program's inception: evolving assessment needs at the ports and missteps in how the initial assessments were carried out. The program was designed as a comprehensive assessment of each port and its critical assets, such as passenger terminals, factories, cargo facilities, and bridges. However, the need for comprehensive assessments was diminished when many owners and operators of these critical assets began conducting their own assessments to comply with new regulatory requirements or apply for security grants. The program's assessments also proved more expensive than expected, and a GAO review conducted at the time found shortcomings in their quality and usefulness. The current program's assessments are more targeted in scope and nature, including the opportunity for local Coast Guard officials to request reviews of specific assets they do not know enough about. To help local authorities with security planning and response, the Coast Guard decided to incorporate a GIS. A GIS is a computer mapping system designed to have many information "layers" that can be easily updated and retrieved. The Coast Guard expects to complete the assessments at the 55 ports by February 2005, but no timeline exists for making the GIS component operational. Although the revised program holds promise, the implementation approach is at increased risk because the Coast Guard is not taking sufficient steps in the planning process. Contrary to best practices for technology systems development, the GIS is being developed without sufficient up-front work to identify how the system will be expected to perform. Both the GIS component and the program as a whole also lack a project plan detailing tasks, schedules, and costs. In other federal agencies, GAO has identified similar projects that failed when such steps were not followed. The initial response of local Coast Guard officials to the new, targeted assessments is generally positive. However, the assessments could be of greater benefit if functional requirements for the GIS were more clearly defined, so the Coast Guard could use the assessments to address gaps in security knowledge.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In fiscal year 2004, we reviewed and reported on the Coast Guard's program to conduct port security assessments of the nation's most strategic economic and military seaports. Among other things, we reported that the Coast Guard had revised the program to include a geographic information system (GIS) to help local authorities more effectively use the assessments for security planning and response. We also reported that the Coast Guard had also revised the scope of the program to take into account information from maritime stakeholders and provide for more targeted assessments of critical infrastructure within the ports. However, we found that the Coast Guard had not defined the functional requirements of the GIS nor had it developed a long-term project plan for the GIS and the program as a whole. Coast Guard officials reported that in December 2005 they completed the process of defining the new GIS functional requirements. With respect to the development of a long-term project plan, the officials stated that a project plan was not completed since the GIS was added to an existing system that was already in place. As for a project plan for the program, Coast Guard officials stated that the assessments were completed in 2006 and the responsibilities for updating assessments and conducting new ones have since been taken up by other interagency teams and local Coast Guard offices, therefore a program project plan was not completed. However, given that the Coast Guard has defined the functional requirements of the GIS, which is the key part of the program still in existence, the overall intent of the recommendation has been met.
Recommendation: To help ensure that the revised Port Security Assessment Program provides the most effective tool possible for security planning and response, the Secretary of Homeland Security should direct the Commandant of the Coast Guard to (1) define and document the GIS functional requirements and (2) develop a long-term project plan for the GIS and the Port Security Assessment Program as a whole (including cost estimates, schedule, and management responsibilities).

This pan has worked well for me. Holds shape very well even under broiler. No warping at all. It does seem to hold on to food stains pretty strongly though. Read morePublished on July 17, 2011 by James

Dunkin: Jorge Arce 'Next' for Donaire, Nishioka Afterward
By Ryan Maquiñana
All signs point to new WBO junior featherweight titlist Nonito Donaire fighting Mexico's Jorge Arce next, as the Filipino's manager confirmed the news along with a tentative accord with WBC 122-pound boss Toshiaki Nishioka of Japan afterward.
"Arce is next," Cameron Dunkin told Philippine News' Truth Esguerra. "We have an agreement already, and he's got to fight Arce. And we have an agreement in principle with the Japanese guy (Nishioka), so he's got fights ahead of him. After that we'll look at [WBA champ Guillermo] Rigondeaux, of course."
Donaire hurt his left hand early in his split decision win last Saturday over Puerto Rico's Wilfredo Vazquez Jr., and was scheduled to see a physician on Monday to determine the extent of the injury.
"He's going to be back soon," Dunkin added. "Hopefully this hand's not a big deal, and we see him back in the ring in April or something, I hope."
