Bill Barrett Corporation Closes Uinta Basin Oil Acquisition
Jun 09, 2011, 11:30 ET from Bill Barrett Corporation
DENVER, June 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Bill Barrett Corporation (NYSE: BBG) announced today that it closed its previously announced acquisition of the owner and operator of a Uinta Basin oil property and related assets, which the Company has named East Bluebell.
The East Bluebell acquisition includes an estimated 5 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBoe) net proved reserves, an estimated 25 MMBoe net proved, probable and possible reserves, approximately 750 Boe per day net production, associated gathering and transportation infrastructure and 20,155 net acres of mineral leasehold. The acquired properties currently have 25 producing wells, and the Company has identified more than 200 drilling locations for vertical, oil development wells.
The acquired properties are located approximately 35 miles east-northeast of the Company's Blacktail Ridge-Lake Canyon project and eight miles from the regional office in Roosevelt. The proximity to existing operations is expected to provide drilling and operating efficiencies. Similar to Blacktail Ridge-Lake Canyon, the East Bluebell properties produce from, and are on trend with, the same oil formations that are developed in the Altamont Bluebell region and offer upside potential through additional geologic horizons and horizontal drilling.
The East Bluebell acquisition was completed for approximately $120 million, subject to post-closing adjustments. The Company plans to initiate development of the property in 2011 with a one-rig, ten-well program beginning in July, increasing the number of oil directed rigs in the combined project area from two to three. As a result, the Company is increasing its planned development capital expenditures by up to $25 million for the full year.

I can acheave that just bysimply issuing a "setterm -foreground green -store". Now my problem isthat the green I get is too dark on my screeen (even if I set the displayluminosity to max). If I could modify the color used by setterm Icould get a bitbrighter green, but I'm not sure where/how to do that...I've been looking in the kernel sources in the "console.c" and I thinkspotted theplace where the colours are set but it seems to me that a more appropiateplace to do such things would be the terminfo db.Any hints ?I'm using radeonfb under Suse/amd64 if that makes any difference...RgdsThomas-To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" inthe body of a message to firstname.lastname@example.com majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlPlease read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Hey y'all, check this out. I'm meeting a guy in Escanaba that's riding up from lower Wisconsin to pass this baton to me, if all goes as planned. I will be passing it to a friend of mine that lives in Sebawaing Mi and he's going to get the baton back down to Chi-town. The baton started it's journey in Vancouver and when it reaches the east coast they're shipping it off to Europe. Here's the thread link if you're interested. http://www.m109riders.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=163271

I think more accurate translation would be "a few hunderd KM". But the "few" is really a subjective word. It be a few more, or really dozen/ hunderds more....
Speaking out of experience.
Being a Cantonese, most at the time I will ask "how few is few?"

Considering the word order, I wonder how you came up with a few hundred km. Even in Chinese for that you'll have placed the "few" (even more literally "a number (of)") in front of the "hundred", not after.
*Yes, the Japanese sometimes like to flip around Chinese kanji, such as 平和 for 和平 (peace), but numbers is one of the areas where they do it the same way.
Anyway, the short answer to your question is no. Besides, "scores of hundreds" (20*100=2000) would be thousands. Now, don't you think they'd just have gone with "thousands" instead of fooling with "scores of hundreds" BS?
The longer answer is that when "hundred" is used w/o a prefix digit, the "one" in front is implied. So that locks the hundred part as "one hundred". The same thing goes with thousands. For ten thousand, common usage will make the one explicit (ichi man); same with one oku (10^8 = one hundred million).
As for suujuu, it is a phrase composed of two discrete word components. Together, they literally mean "multiple decades" or "multiple tens" with the juu being the 'decade' and the suu being the 'multiple'. Words like "scores" or "dozens" are more familiar analogies to show the approximate scales being discussed, but are not really synonymous, especially dozens.

The fact that's it's 'tens' in character is somewhat misleading. It's an approximation of the number of another word like hundreds or thousands.
So either it's "several hundred kilometers", "a few hundred kilometers", or something similiar. It's very vague but we can assume that it's between 100 and 1000 kilometers.

The origin of the term is defined by its component words. I'll agree that in actual usage, it may be valid to use it to cover for say, 35, but then, this is logical since if you had not fixed the tens place exactly you won't be fixing the unitary place either.
In my experience, if they are going for "a few" (as in, less than ten), they would just have gone with the suu, such as 数ヵ所. This is also, of course, logical when you look at the word.
When they say a few tens of thousands, they would say 数万. For hundreds of thousands (literally: tens of ten thousands), they would say 数十万. Or how about 数百万。I would find it suprising if you had not seen these. Note how there is a difference in the quantity, and also that a smaller digit is placed in front of a larger place to signify multiplication. When large is placed in front of small, it means addition.
But that's really just beans compared to why you think that when suujuu (whatever is value) goes after hyaku, it is justified to multiply them, in defiance of the normal order of writing numbers, common to Japanese, Chinese (and English for the matter).
Theory aside, here's a practical example of suujuu, hyakusuujuu and suuhyaku in operation (link).
Or another, even better one here: link about tube amps. Look at the tables. Observe how when he wants to say "a few" kΩ, he doesn't fool around with 数十. He just says 数. Note also 数kΩ~数十kΩ. Why make the differentiation if 数十 = few and 数 = few? Note also that the man uses 百数十倍 and 数百倍 as separate terms that are not equivalent, and it is pretty obvious that the latter is bigger.
Which is consistent with my experiences, the logical structure of the component words and Japanese numbers usage.
Finally, while I don't mind discussion or even debate of my translations, why do you guys get to vaguely say "experience" or "been told" or "implied" or even challenge me with almost no knowledge of the language (Keroko), and I have to give grammar lessons that would likely have given a professional Japanese teacher pause, if not fits?

Nagumo has been translating the sound-stages, and if I remember has Japanese relatives. Though you'd better ask her to be sure.

Though if "Japanese relatives" are your guide, I've got a Japanese father, a bunch of Japanese relatives living in Japan and so on...
Technically, I'm Japanese too, though to claim that for authority advantage would have been dishonest, since I've been living in Hong Kong and thus my Japanese language skills have been hovering near L3-4 JLPT equivalent until recently, when it jumped to the point I could just hurdle the L1 (fortunately, I didn't have to actually write out those darn kanji...)

The vast majority of conversations I have with my relatives and translations works I've done and seen rarely involve numbers beyond combinations of ones, tens, hundreds, thousands and ten thousands. >_>; So my first gut feeling is to either assume that it means a few hundred. Though admittedly I think I've seen the usage of oku once or twice.
That and every time 'suujuu' is used by people in my life, it never seems to actually correspond with 'tens' of 'hundreds' or any 'tens' of whatever. They usually exaggerate when the number is hell of a lot less.
The Japanese I've learned is either from my parents, through NHK news (leading to an interesting period of time of Japanese NHK speak in my childhood but that's a different story) and through reading Japanese middle school social studies books.
My Japanese level written or spoken would probably formally be between level 3-2 JLPT if I ever had to take the test. So your level Japanese is actually higher than mine. As well as greater access to Asians who would speak the language.
That being said... 1000+ kilometer blast radius is a bit of overkill ain't it? Wouldn't that mean that it could, you know, destroy the entire planet earth if they fired it?

If you assume its blast radius is 1000KM+ that means if you shot it at Earth you'd probably leave a crater so big you'd do something reeeaaaalllly bad and kill all life on it
But again we don't really know the blast radius so..

Anyway, its safe to say that the Arc en Ciel has a radius of at least 100 Km. Beyond that... well, its up for debate it seems.

Who was talking about life? As long as there's Earth, there will be life. .......
Anyways I believe a 1000km asteroid will have far more repercussions than a 1000km Ion Cannon, because the former "theoretically" carries more kinetic energy than the latter has heat, provided the latter is tuned to flatten things on the surface and not punch into a planet's core.

Wait, wait... and the Wolkenritter were only concerned on how such a blast would wipe out Hayate's house?!
It's not just 1000+ km! We're talking multiples of tens! So it's like 1000 - 10000 km or something.

Only Vita, and concidering that blast would have levelled at least the city, I'm quite surprised Hayate didn't sweatdrop at her statement.
Though my initial question with 'Hyaku suujuu' was if it could mean 'scores of hundreds' which might as well well be 400, or 600.

Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! Jaguar has big plans for its U.S. lineup in the 2013 model year. The 2013 Jaguar XF and 2013 Jaguar XJ each offer smaller-displacement powertrains that reduce weight and improve fuel economy. Better yet, the new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the 2013 Jaguar XF significantly lowers the car's entry-level price. Jaguar is showcasing the updated cars this weekend at Pebble Beach. Read all about new features, prices, and powertrain details of the 2013 Jaguar lineup below.2013 Jaguar XFThe base model 2013 XF is powered by the new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine also found in the Range Rover Evoque, and is rated at 240 hp and 251 lb-ft of torque. Estimated fuel economy is pegged at 19/29 mpg city/highway, far higher than any Jaguar currently available. Jaguar says that Ford-derived 2.0-liter is the lightest-ever engine to sit underneath the hood of its production cars. The $47,850 price is about $6000 less than the least expensive 2012 XF, which was powered by a naturally aspirated 385-hp 5.0-liter V-8. Speaking of which, that engine is replaced by a new 3.0-liter supercharged V-6 rated at 340 hp and 332 lb-ft. The new V-6 is priced at $50,875. Also new for 2013 is an available all-wheel drive system, offered only with the V-6 model for an additional $3000.Pricing for the 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 (470 hp and 424 lb-ft) remains the same at $68,975, but the performance-oriented XFR jumps a bit to $84,075, which is $1200 more than the 2012 model. Output from the XFR's supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 remains at 510 hp and 461 lb-ft.Rounding off the changes for the 2013 XF are stop-start technology (in V-6 and V-8 models), an eight-speed automatic transmission (all models), an updated navigation system, and a new XFR Speed Pack, which includes suspension and aerodynamic tweaks and a 174-mph top speed, up from 155 mph.Jaguar-estimated 0-60 mph times and MPGs: XF 2.0 in 7.5 seconds (19/29 mpg), XF 3.0 in 5.7 seconds and XF 3.0 AWD in 6.1 seconds (18/28, 16/25 mpg), XF Supercharged V-8 in 4.9 seconds (15/23 mpg), XFR in 4.7 seconds (15/23 mpg).2013 Jaguar XJJaguar's flagship sedan also gets the new supercharged V-6. As a result, a base XJ now costs $74,075, which is $500 less than the outgoing model with the naturally aspirated 385-hp V-8. The XJ V-6 model can be had with all-wheel drive for an additional $3500. The V-8 engine carries over, but only for the long-wheelbase rear-drive XJL Portfolio model ($82,075). The XJ with the supercharged V-8 costs $90,475—add $3000 for the long-wheelbase model. The previously top-of-the-line XJ Supersport carries an MSRP of $113,475.New for 2013 is the XJL Ultimate, for those seeking more exclusivity and luxury. This is an XJ where passengers will fight for the rear seats, thanks to semi-aniline leather, a beverage chiller, a pair of Apple iPads, and exclusive wood trim. The rear seats also recline, massage, and are heated and ventilated. Exterior touches include an exclusive Black Amethyst paint finish, 20-inch rims, "Ultimate" badges, and extensive chrome accents. Only 30 units of the XJL Ultimate, priced at $155,875, will be allocated for the U.S.All XJs receive stop-start technology, a revised navigation system, new premium audio systems, and an eight-speed automatic. The XJ Supersport can be had with a new Speed Pack and XJ Supercharged is now available with a Sport & Speed Pack, which increase the top speed to 174 mph and include aesthetic upgrades.Jaguar-estimated 0-60 mph times and MPGs: XJ 3.0 in 5.7 seconds (18/28 mpg), XJ 3.0 in 5.7 seconds and XJ 3.0 AWD in 6.1 seconds (18/28, 16/25 mpg), XJ Supercharged V-8 in 4.9 seconds (15/23 mpg), XJ Supersport/Ultimate in 4.7 seconds (15/23 mpg).2013 Jaguar XKWhile the 2013 XK coupe and convertible do not receive any of the new powertrains or the eight-speed transmission, they do get a new Touring model, offered with a lower base price of $79,875 for the coupe and $85,875 for the convertible. The value-priced Touring model includes heated seats, a backup camera, keyless entry, power-folding mirrors, and an Aero Pack.The regular 385-hp 2013 XK coupe is priced at $85,375 for the coupe and $91,375 for the convertible. Step up to the supercharged 510-hp V-8 of the 2013 XKR and you can expect to pay $98,375 for the coupe and $104,375 for the convertible, while the 550-hp XKR-S costs $132,875 for the coupe and $138,875 for the convertible. The XK and XKR are now offered with a Portfolio package that adds premium leather for the seats and headliner, chrome accents, and exclusive paint and soft-top colors. The XKR convertible can now be equipped with a Dynamic package, which borrows the XKR-S' suspension parts, Adaptive Dynamics system, and 20-inch rims.Jaguar-estimated 0-60 mph times and MPGs: XK coupe in 5.2 seconds (16/24 mpg), XK convertible in 5.3 seconds (16/22 mpg), XKR in 4.6 seconds (15/22 mpg), XKR-S in 4.2 seconds (15/22 mpg).All prices include $875 destination fee.Source: Jaguar Share this article in: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email 2013 Jaguar XF, XJ, and XK Priced – Huge MSRP Drop for 2013 XF Sedan /26 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 26 2 | 26 3 | 26 4 | 26 5 | 26 6 | 26 7 | 26 8 | 26 9 | 26 10 | 26 11 | 26 12 | 26 13 | 26 14 | 26 15 | 26 16 | 26 17 | 26 18 | 26 19 | 26 20 | 26 21 | 26 22 | 26 23 | 26 24 | 26 25 | 26 26 | 26

oh you cant look in big wigs and cast it after a fire spawns, do you? are you the one who uses combat res before big nuke from boss? i dont think mythic raiding is for you then.
btw you also asked blizzard to make abilities that require some skill to use, not faceroll ones.
Divine Plea: Instantly regain 7.0% of maximum mana.
Holy Light: Now 11.5% of base mana, down from 18.5%.
Holy Radiance: Now 44.0% of base mana, down from 49.0%.
Holy Shock: Now 9.5% of base mana, down from 15.0%.
using live numbers (60k base mana, 300k max mana):
holy shock @ 9.5% = 5700 mana cost * 3 = 17100
dp @ 7% max mana = return is 21000
happy now? you actually gain mana. now that's what i call op
now i dont need divine plea either... these numbers are too low, passive mana regen would be enough
Living the casual life, oh yeah.
yay 15-20 sec of 0 healing to regen 4k mana.holy shock @ 9.5% = 5700 mana cost * 3 = 17100
dp @ 7% max mana = return is 21000

Living the casual life, oh yeah.
Perhaps that's how Denounce damage will be too in Warlords also. My sympathy there is quite evaporated.
Classes that mana and non-mana based specs have a passive that increased base mana to workable levels for healers/casters. So Druids, Paladins, Monks, Shaman all have base mana and base mana costs for a lot of spells. The passive is a 500% multiplier. They're obviously not getting rid of the concept of base mana.
The mana balance we're seeing now seem more like they're turning some knobs in the models to find the regen sweet spot and to tune our active regen mechanics.
Living the casual life, oh yeah.
http://i.imgur.com/z3tBf.png MoP start 9400 spirit in blue gear
that's about 4% max mana per 5 seconds with spirit flask
i assume similar mana regen on WoD start

does that mean that our regen will be greater than 4% max mana per 5 seconds?

He'd be getting a lot more pub if he weren't in Pittsburgh. Big time upside, but lots of risk (particularly for this year).

It wasn't the moment they laid them in the ground, but soon after that I realized that I hadn't asked them everything I needed to know. If asked, I could tell you the names of his parents and maybe their parents. I could rattle off the names of her siblings, his rank upon his release from the army after WWII, the name of the restaurant she owned, the continents he'd traveled to, and that she once wielded an iron skillet as a weapon. There's a box of pictures of some girls and postcards postmarked from overseas and a funny story about shrapnel in his ass.
But that's not my grandfather's story, nor my grandmother's. And everyone has one, whether they choose to tell it or not. Whether they tell you the real one or not. Whether they tell or keep the best parts to themselves. Whether they tell or don't tell the pivotal moments that made them who they are, whenever that is.
In my childish rush to hurry up and get grown, I forgot that my grandparents were people too; with stories that the grown me would wish to know more fully. Facts are one thing, a necessary thing, but the heart of any story is the messy parts that aren't easy to talk about, not just because it most likely includes some pain, but because it also includes the vulnerability of having loved and been loved; the part that make us thank the Good Lord that we were given this life, this story, to begin with, despite the pain.
I love stories. Freaking love em. I eat my three meals a day but without a daily dose of story, I am starving. From the time I cracked my first novel, I knew that I could subsist off of a good story. Hell, even a bad story is better than no story.
Maybe it's because for so many years, I didn't see my dad but twice a year and had only his near-daily phone calls that were always filled with stories, vivid accounts of his day-to-day life on the farm that were so fascinating, keeping my sister and me laughing, trying and failing miserably to retell them to our friends. For so many years, all dad could give us were his stories.
When the Good Lord handed me down a childhood destined for a telephone relationship with my dad, I'm grateful he made him a storyteller.
Dad can have a room full of people hanging on his every word, and deliver a punch line perfectly. His every word a brush stroke painting an invisible piece of art, coming to life in your mind as though you'd lived it. Anytime anything juicy, funny, or downright disturbing happened and dad was had been there to witness it firsthand, the demand would be, "Let Dave tell it!"
I've never possessed such sorcery. Instead, my only hope was to write a story well. Because nobody could tell em like dad.
His stories, his story, he brought to life and made them as real to me as my own memories. And as I got older, he let me glimpse some of the messier parts, the heart of his story.
I knew that should my children ever desire to know their mother before I became her, that I would be the one to tell that story. And tell it fully, that my children might understand the person behind the words, behind the life.
And while I'm afflicted as every writer to being too emotionally attached to my written word, I am not proud of this story. But it is mine. I have no desire to reach back into the past and rearrange the characters and their fates, as this is the only story I'll ever have.
And should my children ever wish to know it, here it is.

I have a requirement to create a main site and sub-sites.For ex: Main site should be having content types news,video,gallery,slideshow.
Sub-sites should be having same content types news,video,gallery,slideshow.
I want to relate/reference the main site news with sub-site news,video,gallery,slideshow or sub-site1 news to be relate/reference with sub-site2 news,video,gallery,slideshow.
Domain Access
That should be easy with Domain Access module.
You will probably need to use Panels with arguments in views to display what you want.
We did it for a client recently.
Hi Saurabh, Definitely you
Domain Access is best for
With domain access,it should
see the docummentation
the same base different database
also see this it may be useful for you:
multi site with shared user tables
Setting up a multisite with same database
I am trying to set up a multi site using the same database but different themes and menus. Also the homepage will have to be different. Is it possible using the same database or I will have to create separate database for each of these sites. The functionality is basically the same just the look and feel of it.
Any suggestions
By changing the user object
By changing the user object theme value you can achieve the theme change functionality.....
different home page you need to work with views or panels.....
you Can achieve the above from single database.....
understand the user based theme, how it works ? then customize ur way.....
i have done the above one in Drupal 6....
You can do that easily with Domain Access module. http://drupal.org/project/domain
It also provides a functionality where you can change the theme for every domain.
And frontpage could be themed differently in every theme too. Just use the appropriate classes in the CSS.

The management of the College of Health and Well-Being at Kintampo in the Brong Ahafo Region has called on the government to expedite action on the proposed elevation of the college to a university status.
The Director of the College, Dr. Emmanuel Teye Adjase, said management of the institution has already put in place the necessary steps to restructure and resource new faculties and departments in line with government's pledge to turn the institution into a health university.
It will be recalled that President John Dramani Mahama, in his first State of the Nation Address in February this year, announced government's intention to upgrade the College into a University to scale up the training of health workers.
Speaking to DAILY GUIDE, Dr. Adjase noted that efforts were being made by the College to work through the Sector Ministry to update the Presidency on developments and to request for additional resources to make the dream a reality.
He indicated that the College, in line with its aspirations to expand, had acquired an additional 3,000 acres of land needed for accelerated expansion of infrastructure to accommodate the ever increasing number of needed programmes of study that would facilitate the training of health professionals, not only for Ghana, but for the ECOWAS sub-region and beyond.
"As a notable public institution and driven by our vision of becoming a health university that responds to the health needs of communities, quality assurance, staff and student services, ICT and governance issues are central to our undertakings.
"This will continue to be the bedrock of our development into the future grounded on innovation and creativity that enhances quality through quality education and training of health professionals who will contribute their quota to the ever changing global health needs," he said.
Touching on the past, present and the future of the institution, Dr Adjase said the college which used to be called the Kintampo Rural Health Training School started from a humble beginning as a Ministry of Health training institution.
He said the school was fully established in 1969 with a mandate to train middle level health professionals to provide quality and comprehensive health care to the populace, especially those living in the rural and under-served areas.
The establishment of the school, the Director noted, stemmed from the felt need for front line health personnel to augment the physician workforce that was grossly inadequate and which was also affected by mal-distribution in the country.
"The School now known as 'The College of Health and Well-Being' has in recent years improved and expanded in programme content, scope and student numbers. It has developed into a modern college located in a serene environment conducive for training and nurturing health professionals," he stated, adding: "The health college being the only institution of its kind in the country and Sub-Region, continue to attract highly qualified applicants into various programmes of study each year."
Dr Adjase explained that the programmes/courses of study at the college reflect current practices and policies in the health sector and are designed and developed based on disease burden and the health needs of the population.
"The programmes, some of which are at diploma and degree levels provide academic career progression pathways for mid-level health professionals in community medicine and preventive health," he pointed out.
With a current student population of about 1,800 and 150 academic & clinical staff (both full and part time), Dr Adjase indicated that the college is poised to becoming a university college affiliated to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology for guidance and nurturing into a world class University of Health.

Find the best Garages and Car Repairs in Northolt with Who Can Fix My Car.
Fixed my van in 2 days. Excellent job.
Great experience
Communication and labour work was more then good.
Couldn't recommend more
Fab work at great price. No hassles..
Very straightforward and honest, told me straight away what was going to happen and worked right away. Got my Left Wing mirror kicked off by a random drunk, they fixed it within 3 hours of receiving the parts, would recommend and the finishing product looks brand new. Very very helpful.
Great service, didn't take too long price was decent considering the damage
Excellent experience with C&R Motors! Prior to my appointment Robert's communication was spot on and no matter how many questions I had he gave professional and prompt answers. Not only was the service excellent, honest and quick but also Robert is a very polite and straightforward guy to deal with. He told me exactly what was going to happen and when and he finished when he said he would. He advised me after that there are a couple of minor issues I need to address before the next MOT. I know from experience in the past that other garages would have falsely failed the MOT and got me to pay for these unnecessarily early. He cleaned the car after the service and finished when he said he would which made planning my day easy. This was my first service since buying the car and I have just driven home very happy because the car drives so much smoother than before. I didn't realise how choppy the performance was until the full service made a MASSIVE difference noticeable afterwards. I agonised over choosing a Garage and I think I've found a gem. All in all, Robert has my business from now on. Honest business, nice people in the team and fair price. Can't ask for more. Recommended!
Very good. My Bmw 3series i318 from 2002 was having heavy misfires, rough idles and would lose power in the middle of driving. I decided to take to to C and R motors. Since they were working on a few cars already so until its my turn it would take an hour or two, so i deiced to leave the car there and come back home. Upon starting work on my car, i was kept up to date on the situation, what they found and what they were doing. The next day morning i was given a call by them telling me the car is ready to pick up. To my surprise the car had been fixed and it turns out to be a much more simple problem compared to what i actually thought. I believe it was the VVT sensor acting up. I was charged £180 with Vat for the manual labor/replacing Spark plugs with higher quality ones and the diagnostic test itself. Overall i would recommend this place, they know what they are doing and they do their job honestly.
Very good service with honest feedback in relation to what needs changing or seen to within a specific time period. I would definitely recommend this garage.
Great pair of guys super fast and realiable. Cant thank them enough for there efficiency and dedication came out at a last min when all went wrong with my fuel pump. They where with me within 40 mins in exteme weather. 100% recommend...prizes very good aswell
I can hight recommended them, will be using them many more times came early and got on with and did it after work so I would lose my car for the day, can't say any higher recommende thanks guys
I had a problem with the CTU auto transmission problem and had various quotes of around £2500. However Sky Motor quoted around £500 for a similar fix. They came to pick up the car and returned it 3 days after and so far it has been perfect. Very professional and friendly service with an honest price. I would definitely recommend Sky Motor. 10/10!
Akash mechanic and his coworker are brilliant professional guys ! Changing new LCD cluster speedo to my porsche Cayenne .Nice and polite people .highly recommend ! thank you !
Exceptional service baring in mind this was a very specific job (boost gauge installation) , work was undertaken by Akash who was both very friendly and professional and will definitely be using his services again soon, would highly recommend this business, honest and good value for money, excellent choice in my opinion
The service at this garage was top class, I was very impressed with the work they did on my 4 series BMW. I needed brake discs and pads fitted. The guys working on my car we very good communicators from the moment I was quoted. This garage is very welcoming and the guys there are very knowledgeable about their craft and also very professional. I was always updated about every step being taken and given honest advice about any future work required on the car. The prices are very fair and competitive. I stayed for a little while after the car was done to just share our car interests as they were very friendly. Thank you again M and T for your amazing service.
Very attentive service. They phoned a couple of times to ensure we deliver the car at a time they could pick it up and work on it straight away. Fixed a couple of little things free of charge too. I highly recommend this garage.
Had my car's MOT and Full service done. No regrets, They got the car ready on time and was kept updated at every stage. Will definitely use the services again if required. Thanks, Mihil
Yes, I would definitely recommend this garage for their honest, very helpful and excellent service of my Peugeot! Mario was very helpful and ensured that the Full Service & MOT was carried, without the need for additional expensive but found to be unnecessary work after inspection. Such as brake fluid, disc brakes and pads that the main dealer was insisting upon even though the car had done minimal mileage since it's last service. I will be bringing my car back to him from now on! Many Thanks to Car Care (UK) Limited Sunil.
Friendly,helpful,efficient, will go back.
Thanks for the fast service. My car drive smoother now
Excellent service! no other hidden charges they also fixed something underneath my car which was hanging out with no charge
I had a full service and MOT, the service was very professional at a great price! Would highly recommend.
My second full service from this garage. Very competitive price and excellent service. I would recommend without reservation.
I had a full service and MOT, the service was very professional at a great price! They even washed my car while they were at it... brilliant :-) Would highly recommend.
This was my first visit to Car Diagnostic Services Ltd for a whole clutch system replaced along with dual mass flywheel replacement including parts with & labour with 12 month warranty. The whole experience could not have been better. From booking in the car including pick up and delivery with peter who was brilliant. I was kept informed at all times of progress. I was made to feel like a real customer , not just a person who owned a BMW. The way I was treated was one of the best customer service experiences I have had in past 10 years of owning BMW motoring. Peter has clearly got the team working as one which makes you feel great about choosing Car Diagnostic Services Ltd to manage and deal with your car. Well done and thank you.
I highly recommend Peter and his team. Although I was initially slightly sceptical as I had never delt with CDS before. I even went to their garage half way through the work to make sure they were legitimate and to check on the work. All I can say is that I will only be using them from now on for my entire family's car and van needs. The quote was for £360 for a new clutch but the car needed quite a lot of other work that I was happy to be completed locally. But after they collected the car their communication was impeccable with video messages to demonstrate any new discoveries. They were exceptionally patient with me whilst I deliberated the options. In the end I had all of the outstanding work carried out by Peter and his team who were very kind to do the vast majority of the work for free with me only paying the cost value of the parts (I checked the car parts price with europarts and I could not buy them cheaper than they supplied them to me for) they even washed and valeted the car and delivered it back to me on time as promised. In short they saved me a lot of money, gave me an absolutely first class service, delivered far more than they promised and provided consistantly excellent communication throughout. I encourage anyone reading this to not hesitate but put their trust in this garage; they have more than earnt mine.
The service I received was excellent. They collected the car and dropped it off all in a day, they made sure I was happy with the work before asking me to pay. And finally they called me to make sure they could drop the car off in advance so I could make sure I was in. I would definitely use them in the future.
Picked car up on time and changed clutch and flywheel using best quality parts. Also did a health check and found egr needed cleaning and an engine mount was worn and would need changing but was safe to drive with . Car back same day. Very pleased with all work . All worn part given back for me to inspect and diagnoses spot on
Great work, very quick. Kept me informed all the way through and did some extra jobs at no extra charge. Very polite. Would recommend them.
I spoke to Kaz who was incredibly helpful, explained my dilemma that is the costs of repair were too high I would rather part exchange the vehicle. He arranged for the car to be picked up, replaced the clutch and a part that was affecting the power of the vehicle. The car was MOT'd whilst it was there and 3 tyres were replaced at a very reasonable price. I would recommend this garage and I would take my vehicle back to Kaz for repairs.
Very straightforward and honest, told me straight away what was going to happen and worked right away. Got my Left Wing mirror kicked off by a random drunk, they fixed it within 3 hours of receiving the parts, would recommend and the finishing product looks brand new. Very very helpful.
Highly recommended. Fitted me in extremely quickly to fit in with my schedule. Great job!!!

Nail polish trends change as much as fashion trends and this summer it looks as though the nail trends will be following the fashion trends with bold, bright colors and lots of patterns and prints. It might seem strange to have pattern and prints on your nails, but it can be very chic and fun way to add some extra fringe to your look. I especially like it for special occasions.
Mary-Kate Olsen has been a style icon for some time now and her hot pink nails are right on point. I love that she is wearing such and understated outfit with a bright pop of pink nails, looks so chic and fresh.
Now onto the pattern and print part, celebrities like Beyonce and Katy Perry have been spotted with Minx nails. Minx are super awesome, long lasting nail patches{kind of like a hard core sticker} thathave only been available at select salons at a rather high price compared to a regular manicure. Well, be excited ladies because Sephora, OPI and Minx have collaborated to make at home kits that will only cost you $15! Awesome right?? The Chic Prints for Nails are available in eight different patterns and will work for toes or fingers. So have fun with your nails this summer, be bold, be bright, be patterned!

United Airlines Flight 93 was the plane that that crashed in
Somerset, Pennsylvania on September 11th, 2001.
Flight 93, with 38 passengers and a flight crew of five
flight attendants and two pilots
was a 757-200 on a scheduled flight from Newark to San Francisco.
It took off at 8:42 AM, 41 minutes after its scheduled departure time.
Flight 93 flew about as far as Cleveland Ohio
before turning around and flying in the direction of the capital.
Flight 93 was unique among the four flights commandeered on 9/11/01
in the number of cell phone calls allegedly made from it.
News reports document the receipt of phone calls from at least 13 passengers
on Flight 93.
The reported cell phone calls were all short.
In contrast, a reported call from passenger Todd Beamer
lasted for 18 minutes.
According to the account, Beamer attempted to call his wife
in California on an airphone but instead ended up talking to
Verizon supervisor Lisa Jefferson.
Beamer related details about events on the plane,
and concluded by describing the passenger revolt
immortalized by the words, "Let's Roll".
According to the official story,
Flight 93 crashed by flying into the ground near Somerset, Pennsylvania
as a result of a struggle between passengers and the hijackers.
However, eyewitness reports and widely scattered debris
belie this account.
The website flight93crash.com was created within weeks of the attack to
"give and solicit information about what really happened over
Pennsylvania regarding Flight 93".
Additional evidence of the shoot-down of Flight 93 is provided
by an apparent slip-up by Secretary of Defense
Donald Rumsfeld in an interview aired December 24, 2004.
9-11 Research contains a run-down on the evidence that
Flight 93 was shot down.
A campaign to
deny the crash of Flight 93
gained momentum in 2006 with the promotion of a bizarre theory
that the plane landed in Cleveland by the video
Loose Change

Dust, debris, plaster, and loud noises from the construction crew could not deter the beauty and transformation that is happening at the Marriott Syracuse Downtown Hotel. When I walked into the Persian Terrace, I was immediately transported to a time of elegance and class. The grandeur and classiness of the ten shiny chandeliers that adorn this room are absolutely breath-taking. I heard Ed Riley and his wife had their senior prom dance in this very same room. I wonder if they are planning a dance once it is finished; talk about romanticism and a beautiful trip down to memory lane.
Although the elegance of the Persian Terrace caught most of my attention, it wouldn't be fair to not mention the hotel lobby. Your senses will be delighted as soon you step foot into this grand hotel. Waiting to be checked-in will be a pleasure as you will be mesmerized by the gorgeous and intricate design of the original, restored chandeliers and the absolutely stunning restored art work on the wall behind the reception area – and all throughout the ceilings. The craftsmanship throughout…my gosh what an impressive and breath-taking restoration.
No amount of photography or videos can evoke the emotions one feels walking into such a beautiful and historical place, but Officially-Unofficial and ana gil-taylor photography will do their best to capture a beautifully fun sneak peek of this sensational, heart-stopping, Marriott Syracuse Downtown Hotel. I leave you with a mini video sneak peek and a picture of me – totally happy to have experienced this – with Paul McNeil, Hotel Manager. Feel free to subscribe to our channel to be notified when the real sneak peek goes out! Thanks for reading! – ana

The new school year is almost here; my girl starts school in less than two weeks! She is moving on from Kindergarten to 1st grade and though she's a little hesitant about it, I'm excited for her. I can already tell – just by looking at her school supply list – that 1st grade is going to mean more big-kid work along with some fun activities too.
I'm super relieved that I have her back to school shopping done and have already purchased all her school supplies! Last year I was one of the last-minute parents doing the back to school shopping days before school started. So, it's definitely nice to know that we have her new backpack and school supplies out of the way.
Walmart provided us with the opportunity to purchase her school supplies as well as another set to donate. I thought this would be a great opportunity for baby girl to help a kid in need by picking out a backpack and school supplies for us to donate to a local school supply drive. The budget was set at $25 for each backpack, plus $25 for each set of supplies, for us to shop Walmart's Back to School section.
With her 1st grade school supply list in-hand, we headed to our local Walmart and purchased the following items:
- 1 ream – white copy paper
- 1 box – Kleenex facial tissue
- 1 – spiral notebook, one subject, wide ruled
- 1 – plastic folder, 2 pocket w/prongs, blue
- 1 – plastic folder, 2 pocket w/prongs, red
- 4 – large pink erasers
- 1 – colored pencils, 24 ct.
- 2 – yellow highlighters
- 4 – dry erase markers, black
- 2 – Ticonderoga #2 pre-sharpened pencils
- 24 – #2 pencils
- 6 – Elmer's glue sticks
- 1 – Elmer's school glue, 4 oz.
- 3 – Marble composition books
- 1 – 5" blunt tip scissors
- 2 boxes – Crayola crayons, 24 ct.
- 1 box – Crayola markers, bold, wide tip, 8 ct.
- 1 – plastic pencil box, approx. 8"x5"
We also purchased a new backpack with a matching attachable lunchbox, and cost well under $25 – only $12.88! Baby girl thought this backpack was perfect because it comes with a mini stationary set and has butterflies. I thought it was perfect because it has a few compartments, plus side pockets for her water bottle. She picked out the same backpack in black to donate, thinking a boy would like it too. We also bought a second set of her school supplies to stuff in the backpack, making for a complete 1st grade supply donation. We donated these back-to-school supplies to HOPE, a local charity serving disadvantaged families. Supplies will be provided to families in need during their Kids of HOPE, Back to School Bash.
Are you ready for the new school year yet? Do you typically have the back-to-school shopping done ahead of time?

Sept. 15, 2013 at 4:15 a.m.
Haley Allison New and Craig Lee Jeffrey, both of Bryan, were married at 4:00 p.m. on September 7, 2013 at First Presbyterian Church in Victoria. Reverend Dan Fultz of Victoria officiated the double-ring ceremony.
The bride is the daughter of Jon and Susan New of Victoria.

The battle for the late-night audience doesn't only involve Leno, Letterman and Kimmel. Taco Bell's "Fourth Meal" campaign in 2007 made late night its own daypart, but recently chains have been creating menus and promotions available only in those wee hours.
Wendy's began with a "Better Later" campaign that made diners aware that many of its locations are open until midnight, with some open later. Now it has something special for those who get hungry in dark: a $5 Moonlight Meal Deal available only after 10 p.m. The meal includes a Double Stack burger, Chili Cheese Fries and large drink. That meal totals from 970 to 1,300 calories depending on the drink choice.
In a handful of California markets—San Francisco, Monterey and Salinas—Jack in the Box is testing a bigger late-night menu. Its $6 Munchie Meals all include two tacos and "Halfsies" (regular and curly fries) plus one of four special entrées. One is the Stacked Grilled Cheese Burger, a grilled cheese sandwich on top of a cheeseburger. Other choices are the Exploding Cheesy Chicken (mozzarella sticks on a chicken patty), Loaded Nuggets (chicken nuggets with two cheeses, ranch sauce and bacon) and a Brunch Burger, the first (to my knowledge) burger topped with a fried egg (and hash browns) served by a major national burger chain.
To please those with big hunger but limited budgets, Jack is offering the entrées a la carte for $4, while an order of Halfsies can be had for $2.50.
Late-night offerings already are going over the top, as evidenced by Steak 'n Shake's new AllNighter Menu, available midnight to 11 a.m. The star of that menu is the 1,330-calorie, seven-patty 7 x7 Steakburger for $7.77.
McDonald's continues to be more interested in extending breakfast hours than late-night hours. Its "Breakfast After Midnight" test serves a limited breakfast between midnight and 4 a.m., when it goes full breakfast. The other test, called "McDonald's After Midnight" offers both a breakfast and a limited burger menu from midnight until 4 a.m. when it shifts to breakfast only.
Burger King, which struggled to get some franchisees to adopt later hours, hasn't gotten into the late-night-menu game yet but it's expected to join this summer.
Wendy's is also experimenting with free guac after 10 p.m. you just have to ask them to "Guac it Up". Not sure how many locations are doing it, but the ones here are.

O'Neill Pleased By Young Threat
Martin O'Neill has said he is pleased that teams are realising more and more that they need to double mark Ashley Young.
Although he realises this is probably frustrating for Young, he believes it's necessary for his progression that he learns how to deal with this and think his way out of trouble to continue posing the threat he can do.
We all know Young has huge potential and could be one of the finest English wingers ever, but if he hopes to achieve that then he does need to learn how to cope with being double marked, and at points probably having 3 players covering him.
Whether that's by honing his skills and becoming more tricky to take them on, or whether it's by using his brain and exploiting the space they leave.
I would think this season Young has shown that he's prepared to be more of a team player, rather than just taking people on and losing the ball. He seems to have realised he won't always beat his man so sometimes playing the simple ball and helping to keep possession can be more rewarding and more beneficial for the team.
To be fair this was something he started doing more and more at the end of last season as teams began double marking him, so I'd assume O'Neill is very pleased with his growth as a player, especially as he now picks and chooses his moments to show some magic and most of the time because of making the right decision to show that magic it comes off, looks wonderful and it works.
Much better than trying it everytime he gets the ball, and more often than not, losing possession.
'Ashley is receiving extra attention. That is a major compliment to him and it is about coping with those things and he has got a really good footballing brain.
'He is going to have to adjust. He is going to have to play the ball sometimes to unmarked team-mates - if only to find the space to then get the ball back again himself.
'I think at some stage, there will be things in the game that do frustrate you, and Ashley has to overcome that and he is making a fair fist of that for one so young.
'I've been really lucky with some of the people I've worked with. In my early days at Wycombe, I had Steve Guppy who could deliver a fantastic ball and I then took him to Leicester.
'I had Alan Thompson at Celtic who could put it anywhere you want it, on a sixpence, and he scored some great goals.
'But Ashley is also just brilliant. When he got the free-kick in the last game at Villa Park against Sunderland, you just felt he could score.'
As Young grows and matures further he really is gaining that aura of once he gets the ball, you expect something to happen. Very few players ever get that belief from the fans. Most spend their whole careers with fans thinking 'something might happen' now and that's usually based on the situation or their position.
With Young, it doesn't matter where he is on the pitch. He has the pace, trickery and skill to go on a 60-70 yard run and create an opening.
Having a player like that in the team, a player who can create a goal with their only clear cut opportunity in 90 minutes is dynamite.

Adjust to serious illness and death
Children often turn to their pet for comfort if a friend or family member dies or leaves the family. Grieving adults who did not have a close source of human support were also found to have less depression if they had a pet.
Be less anxious and feel more safe
Pet owners tend to feel less afraid of being a victim of crime when walking with a dog or having a dog in the home.
American journalist
Relax and reduce everyday stress
Pets can help us relax and focus our attention away from our problems and worries. We do not even need physical contact to appreciate this. Watching fish in an aquarium, or the activity of birds can be very soothing. Of course many of us with dogs and cats find ourselves absent-mindedly petting them, which is relaxing for both us and the pet.
Have physical contact
This ability to have something to touch and pet is very important. More and more studies show how important touch is to our physical and emotional health.
Lift our mood
Pets decrease our feelings of loneliness and isolation by providing companionship to all generations. Certainly for residents of nursing homes this is true, but it is also true for the staff and volunteers there as well.
Residents of nursing homes are more apt to smile, talk, reach out to people and objects, be attentive and alert, and experience a greater sense of well-being and less depression if animals are present in the facility.
Feel less lonely
Pets can help ease the sense of loneliness or isolation we feel.
Have something to care for
Everyone needs to feel needed and have something to care for. Many elderly citizens or people living alone will tell you their pet gives them a reason for living.
Keep active
Having a pet can help us remain more active. We may not only get more exercise from walking a dog, but we also increase our activity through feeding, grooming, and otherwise caring for our pet.
Have consistency
Pets provide some consistency to our lives. Caring for a pet can significantly affect our routine and gives us something to do and look forward to each day. People may come and go, but our pets are pretty much with us day in and day out.
Have more and better social interactions
Families surveyed before and after they acquired a pet reported feeling happier after adding a pet to the family.
A study in a Veteran's Hospital showed that the residents had more verbal interactions with each other when a dog was present in the room than when there was no dog present. Dogs were also shown to increase socialization among persons with Alzheimer's disease in a Special Care Unit of a nursing home.
Residents in long-term care facilities were more likely to attend activity sessions when an animal was going to be present.
Pets can greatly influence how we feel about ourselves and life in general. They are teachers and healers of extraordinary talent.

Mauricio Isla has reacted to links with Inter by claiming that it may be best for him to leave Udinese in the summer.
The wing-back has been mentioned as a possible addition to the Nerazzurri squad, especially if Douglas Maicon leaves San Siro in 2012.
"I would like to join a big club," the 2007 signing from Universidad Catolica wrote on his personal website.
"After five seasons at Udinese, I think that the moment to leave this club has arrived."
Although Isla sees his future away from the Stadio Friuli, he's determined to prove his worth in the Bianconeri jersey.
"I have to continue working hard every day," added the Chilean. "I've been treated well at Udinese so, at this moment, I'm concentrating on them and nothing else."
Isla, 23, has scored one goal in five Serie A appearances so far this term.

Despite living close to Brunswick Street, it's actually been a while since I went for a weekend stroll down the strip. So when a friend visiting from interstate suggested we have lunch there on a sunny Sunday, I couldn't think of anywhere with an outside area that served really great food. Which is how by default we ended up at Retro.
For me, Retro is literally a cafe from another and another place. I don't think I've been there since my early 20s, when I would shuffle outside at midday searching for a hangover breakfast after a night of bar-hopping with my footloose and fancy-free mates. The large cafe holds an enviable position on the quieter end of Brunswick Street, with trees dappling light over the pavement alfresco dining area and the usual Fitrovian op-shop vinyl mish-mash inside.
After planting ourselves on a just-vacated table in the shade, I went inside to get some menus and then waited for the debris to be cleared. A while later, I went back inside to ask whether we could order and whether someone could wipe down the table, grabbing two glasses and bottle of tap water on the way out. The laconic tattooed waiter followed me out with a spray bottle and a limp dishrag, both of which he then discarded at the next empty table.
Our meals came out in good time, but not the coffee my friend had ordered. She was good-natured about this (she'd already had her first coffee of the day) but I'd have expected a coffee to come out as soon as possible after the order, if only to buy some more time for the kitchen to prepare the meals.
My chicken burger with tomato, lettuce, caramelised onion, bacon, aioli and tomato relish ($15.90) was chunky and satisfying, although I was disappointed that my fries seemed to have come out of a frozen packet rather than handcut fresh. My friend's chicken salad with salad leaves, tomato, cucumber and red onion was simple but unexciting ($14.90). She said that her skinny cappuccino, when it did arrive, was ok.
So while our actual meals were passable and the setting was relaxing, the poor service really let Retro down. We both decided that while we didn't dislike our lunch, we would hesitate to return or to recommend Retro to others based on our experience.
For other lunch options on Brunswick Street, try Madame Sousou, Little Creatures Dining Hall, Cafe Provincial or Newtown Social Club.

David Timson talks about Charles Dickens, much loved for his great contribution to classic English Literature.
Left unfinished after Dickens died in 1870, The Mystery of Edwin Drood centres on Edwin Drood's uncle, John Jasper, and his love for Rosa Bud, Edwin's fiancee. Set in the dark, fictional cathedral city of Cloisterham, the novel is awash with guilt, disguise and mystery. It contains some fine writing, and just before his death, Dickens left an indication of where the plot was going, which will be included.

Our project is titled "Artemotion Xpress in Europe" and consists of 6 countries: Greece, which is the coordinating country, Germany, Poland, Romania, Spain and Slovenia.
This project is addressed to children with special needs attending public special education preschool, primary and secondary schools. Our pupils have developmental, behavioral and neurological disorders with all the characteristic symptoms that these diagnoses consist such as: communicational problems, language impairments, mental retardation, autism, psycho kinetic disorders, psycho-emotional disorders.
When a pupil is educated to comprehend others' emotions and express his own, and in addition through art, not only he develops a better understanding of his surrounding, but increases and acquires a positive feeling and attitude. Development of comprehension of the outer world sustains better the perception of the school curriculum. Art, in all its types, makes persons joyful. Consequently, it can make a disadvantaged learner to present regularly at school and to put in his best to do well at school work.
The basic and fundamental skills which SEN children should develop as a whole, include basic life skills (every day activities), social skills and academic skills. These are the areas of development where our pupils have the greatest constraints and difficulties. Thus, we will try to develop these basic and transversal skills by using innovative methods through arts focusing greatly to the expression of the emotions which cover every aspect of life (school life, family life, leisure time, work, social life).
We will also try with this project to strengthen the profile of the teaching professions such as special education teachers, psychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, social workers, ICT teachers for special education, art therapists, physical education teachers, psycho motor therapists, physiotherapists, clinical psychologists, ICT coordinators, help staff, through mobility and cross-border cooperation in order to explore and learn new innovative methods of treatment for SEN pupils, to obtain new tools for the accomplishment of our goals and to exchange good practices for a high quality education.

I talk about sex because I believe the church has done a really bad job in not talking about it.
I almost fell off my chair when and laughed out loud when this post come up on Facebook. A thoughtful response!
I tried to hear the truth in what you were saying, while still addressing the angry elf inside me that was pissed off for being misunderstood. I hope my heart came through loud and clear. And I'm excited about writing with you gals by my side. I really treasure your insight.
You go girl! It's interesting how those in the church make sex so taboo. God made if for us married folks to enjoy. He didn't have to make procreating such an enjoyable process (how many other animals procreate without having sex? lots.) but he did so let's talk about it. I'm not quite as bold as you. I don't blog about it but we certainly talk about it alot in my circle of married girlfriends :). And we all agree that the church does a poor job in this area. So continue on, Sam, continue on :).
Hi Fawn,
So I went on your site. Youza! You have a movement going on. I love it! I too, am one of the proud and the boastful of the HWC. I am an admitted HAPPY WIFE! Whoo Hoo!
On another level, I saw your press release and the women all over the world who have said yes to supporting their men. It's beautiful and so honoring. Keep it up!
Hey, Sam!
Another breakthrough article! I hope you will continue to blog about this. I hope you will blog about this until you have enough material for a book and then publish. In this area the Church (Big "C") is not only playing defense but quite defensive. Have we yet heard a rousing vision of the profound satisfaction of waiting for the right one and then fully enjoying one of God's best gifts to humankind? Really, no.
However, I'll bet Scrappy Sam is the right woman for the job!
I'll work on the book idea 🙂 Thank you for your encouragement. Having friends like you and Kim and Robyn praying for me and my writing means the world to me. You guys motivate me to dig deeper, search for truth and not be afraid to share what God id revealing to me. Love you!
Amen !!! I LOVE your humor – it gets me through some rough days, and reminds me it's okay and even great to be human.
I 'm delighted to make you chuckle. Sometimes, I laugh at myself for a few hours and sometimes I internally cry because I've been so honest. Thanks for the affirmation. It's soooooo appreciated 🙂
Good job, Sam, talking about a topic that YOU ARE RIGHT – the church avoids. I get embarrassed about the topic, but I'm better than I used to be. It's something my parents NEVER spoke about – my mother's sole advice when I got married was, "A little lubrication might help" – and she said it in a whisper as she walked passed me the morning of my wedding. Good grief, Mom!
Anyway, I wish you luck – and joy – in pursuing your future child! thanks for this good post…
Yep, I got in trouble for it but I don't actually remember talking about it much other than when I asked how my brother got in my step-moms tummy. Love your mom's comment! Classic!
nice work, Sam – you go girl! 😉
Sam, thanks for blogging on this topic. Keep it up! Sorry for the "novel" but a few thoughts – a guy's perspective…
1. I'm single, dating, and I grew up attending various churches. My experience has been that churches generally SUCK at addressing this topic – totally agree with you. Apparently it's important to God, just not senior pastors.
2. Churches seem to talk about sex about once a year while it's talked about *every day* non-stop on radio, TV, movies, the internet, magazines, and among co-workers. Yeah, that's a great ratio.
3. I heard almost half of people in mega-churches are *single*. Then why are 99% of messages on sex in church directed at married people? Got it: singles are irrelevant in church.
4. The church usually says "just wait" but rarely explains why – which is like saying "don't drive over the speed limit" while watching everyone else blow by at 90MPH, and no one gets a ticket. Sure.
5. It's easy to say "I'm waiting". Really hard to do.
6. I just have throw in one more…. most non-Christian women are waaaaay easier to date than the girls I meet in church – many of whom super uptight and some are just plain weird – no wonder they're single. Maybe one Sunday after church can all the *normal* single women could have a meeting and then all the *normal* single men could meet them – ?? Sounds good to me!
So… I'm writing a series for you. For all the people out there who have the same frustrations you do as a Christian single. The same ones I did too. Thanks for the novel. I love your points. And I will address them all in an even longer novel.
My friend reposted this refreshing blog! Thank you for your fresh approach to a subject that everyone at church tries to avoid!
Hi Stacey,
Thanks for dropping by. I hope we can get this topic out of the church closet and really encourage marriage. Because it can be amazing with some hard work.
Hilarious! I loved the post. And now I need a vacation with my husband sans the kids. 😉
Hi Bianca,
Thanks! It's crazy I know. And tough for a step-parent. I feeeeeeel for my husband and you. You guys are rock stars to take on this job and love our kids.
BTW, I love your blog by the way and read it all time. You have a great voice and I resonate with your passion.
Blessings, Keep it up!
Best article ever on here. Write a book!
Thanks 🙂 I'll work on it. So glad you liked it because your comment inspired it.

IMF open to extend 3-year support to Jordan
Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), has said the fund is open to extend its three-year stand-by arrangement (SBA) for Jordan, if needed, Jordan Times has reported. "The programme extends until August 2015 and I'm very much hopeful that we can pursue this relationship," Lagarde said. "If more is needed later on down the road, in terms of more technical assistance and more financial support, we are completely open to it and prepared to help always," Lagarde told reporters on the sidelines of a regional economic conference in Amman that concluded Monday.

Paul Blomfield, MP for Sheffield Central, congratulated the young people.
He told them: "Representing the views of young people and speaking on their behalf is really important and quite a responsibility.
"I think it's great so many of you wanted to take on this role.
"I know, from when I met many of you at the recent briefing session, what energy, enthusiasm and commitment there was to making the role a success."
The six members include Hinde House School pupil Hamza Ismail, aged 15, and deputy MYP Ella Jones, 12, in the north of Sheffield.

Sheffield High schoolgirl Laura Nutton is West Sheffield MYP and High Storrs student Eleri Kirkpatrick, 15, is deputy.
Laura, 17, said: "I feel very strongly about the representation of young people and hope to be able to add to that. I am pleased to get the opportunity to try."
Sue Mia, UK Youth Parliament lead at Sheffield Futures, added: "The only way to involve young people in the democratic process is to ask directly what they want and need in their area."
New city youth councillors were also announced.

Last Entry Call for Cashel St Patrick's Parade
It may be winter lethargy, but so far, according to Cashel's St. Patrick's Parade Chairman, there hasn't been a great response for the call out for entrants to the parade which will be held on Sunday, March 17.
You can get a form by texting the words 'St. Pats Form' with your name to 08798216, and they are also available to pick up form the Heritage Centre.
John O'Byrne, Parade Chairman, told The Nationalist that it is important that as many entrants as possible send in their details this week as the insurance for the parade has to be paid in the first week of March.
"We don't have an entry fee, unlike many other parades in the country, but we still have to submit a running order to make sure we can insure all of the entrants and the crowd as well," he explained
John also told us that the fundraising table quiz which had been scheduled for this coming week has unfortunately had to be postponed.
"We have had a few illnesses amongst the committee and they won't be fit to attend on Thursday. Also on the same night there is the Gathering launch at Bru Boru which we will be sending a representative to, and of course many of our loyal supporters will be there also, so to avoid a clash of interest we will be shifting our fun social night later in the year."
John has also called for as many volunteers as possible to help out on the day of the Parade.
"It's great fun and you get a yellow hi-viz vest! Seriously, we need a crew of around 12 volunteers to make sure everything goes off safely and smoothly.
"It's a big issue every year, without volunteers, all our fund raising and all the efforts of the entrants and all support we get from the public over the year would come to nothing."
You can become a volunteer by calling the Parade secretary Sean Laffey on 06262685".

Some Interesting Reading: Mariano A Starter?
Hey everybody –
I knew that the title would get your attention. There was an interesting article posted on the Freakonomics blog that took an interesting spin on the handling of pitching staffs. It'll never fly, but it certain flips the script on what we've been watching all our lives.
It's a good read over lunch. I promise.

More from Edward Pramuk - Connections Between Painting and Poetry
This is really a continuation of my last post. I wanted to share what Pramuk writes about where these images come from:
" Many of my sea paintings contain remnants of atmosphere and illumination gleaned from observing nature, although the solitary images I cast adrift in vast oceanic space have an abstract foundation. The truth is they come more from thought and memory than from nature, and seem very familiar, even intimate, to me. Dreams and reveries play a role."

I'm sure the picture here is probibly not quite doing the cover art justice but it is none the less quite striking in an abyss of solitude.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on sharing a spotlight with his work! It looks like good company to be in.
Hello Michael,ReplyDelete
Thanks for your comment on the SR. It is more striking on the cover -- and the entire portfolio of about 7-8 pieces inside the journal. I love seeing a literary journal that cares equally for the visual arts --- and whose eye matches mine!
