Stunning visuals and nostalgia make new 'Jungle Book' a winner
Disney does a 60s classic justice in this reboot
For some, a childhood classic has been reborn.
A revamped version and real life recreation of the 1967 Disney classic of "The Jungle Book" was released to theaters on Friday. This fast paced film used stunning visuals and effects to grab the viewer's attention from the beginning.
The film is about Mowgli (Neel Sethi), a "man-cub" being raised by wolves in the jungle who doesn't fit in with the animal ways. He uses tools to his advantage and can't keep up with his wolf siblings. Mowgli begrudgingly embarks on an adventure with black panther Bagheera (Ben Kingsley) to find man.
During his trip, Shere Khan (Idris Elba), a malicious tiger who knows the true power of man, hunts Mowgli. Mowgli runs into obstacles and meets new characters along his journey, including a sloth bear named Baloo (Bill Murray).
The film makes an impressive use of visuals while also having a great character-to-viewer relationship.
Each character has nobility to them. The way the animals were visually produced, along with the voice accompaniment, created a majestic feel to each scene.
The original 1967 "Jungle Book" was able to rely on the visual expression of characters to build that relationship, with Baloo's eccentric dancing and Kaa, a visually hypnotic snake, establishing certain character development. In the 2016 recreation, it was a little more difficult.
But because of the way the film was casted, it was able to create that relationship.
It seemed as though the cast fit each animal perfectly; Kaa (Scarlett Johansen) and King Louie (Christopher Walken) embodied their original characters through voice alone.
There are slight glimpses to the songs from the 1967 original such as "The Bare Necessities" and "I Wanna Be Like You" – because it wouldn't be "The Jungle Book" without them.
The film also used the story to touch upon real world issues such as the affect that humans have on the environment and the animals that live in it.
Throughout the film, the characters refer to fire as "red flower" and indicate only man possesses the power to create it. The animals fear fire because of its destructive ability; this is true to the real world.
With a run time of only one hour and 51 minutes, the film felt a little rushed. There was so much going on and so many characters being introduced that the character development didn't go very far.
The voice actors did a good job of establishing the character, but based on the amount of information in the film, they did not seem to grow from there.
This recreation of the 1967 Disney classic offers a new look at "The Jungle Book." It was a visually stunning real world interpretation of a childhood favorite.

ALSO SEE: Where Is Marijuana Legal?
For recreational purposes, 4 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana. These states include Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska. However, under federal law, it is still illegal to sell, possess, produce, and distribute marijuana. Federal law trumps state law when it comes to marijuana legalization.
Five states including Massachusetts, Nevada and California are expected to introduce measures to legalize recreational marijuana by 2016.
Most Americans think recreational marijuana should be taxed and regulated like alcohol
Two congressmen, Rep. Jared Polis and Rep. Earl Blumenauer, have filed House bills that would together legalize, regulate and tax marijuana at the federal level. The house bills filed were the Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol Act, and the Marijuana Tax Revenue Act.
The Czech Republic passed medical marijuana law in 2013. Citizens can grow up to 5 plants
Ecuador – small amounts for personal use are allowed
Jamaica – Not yet illegalized but it has been decriminalized for medical use and for religious ceremonies
Mexico – The possibility of the lessening of violence and corruption (due to drug cartels) could lead the Mexican authorities to legalize marijuana in Mexico.
Canada – The majority of Canadians want marijuana to be legalized. Marijuana laws currently more relaxed than US laws.
Spain – High concentration of private cannabis clubs. The manufacture and sale of cannabis is still illegal in Spain.
Uruguay – First and only country to fully legalize marijuana
The Netherlands – Has a friendly attitude towards marijuana but not yet legalized
Argentina – Likely to follow Uruguay and fully legalize marijuana. Wants to snuff out the black market.
India – Marijuana is widely used in religious ceremonies. Wild cannabis grows in several parts of India. Legalization of marijuana is a strong possibility.

The lone marine ran..... his armour rent and torn, his spirit broke, his bolter empty. His blood pumping through his two hearts struggling to keep up with bodies demand..Fear!! All of his battle brothers dead! All of them! The scale of the slaughter threatened to destroy the last of his disciplined minds defences. The devils in red armour, we fired everything we had but they kept coming ripping, tearing, destroying all he held dear. He had to get the message back to someone. The Blood Angels Recon force they had been stationed with had turned, overtaken by a red mist a daemonic rage. Cassius had his suspicions before the battle, but even the Master of Sanctity had fallen torn down by daemons in black power armour, the last image of him being hit through a wall by a marine with a power fist crackling energy coursing through his black armour.
The marine stopped he had been running for hours maybe even a full day as it was now night and the moon was high in the sky. The night was cold and he was in a temperate jungle. Everything shone silver and looked like it was covered in diamonds it reminded him of the frost on the mountains of Macaggre and of simpler times when things made sense.
He had to make a plan his brain was telling him he was in the jungle west of the battlefield, he only hoped no one had seen him run. plans and ideas formed in his mind he was a space marine a one man army, a weapon of the Emperor. As ideas and plans formed his training dismissed many as foolhardy or just plain suicide. He remembered in the pre-battle briefing that there was a communications array to the north defended by Local Defence forces if he could get there before the Blood Angels he might be able to get a message out. But first rest and rations he had to rebuild his strength. As he breathed he noticed the noises of the jungle had stopped it was silent..... It can't be?? How did they follow him so far he was so careful...Still there was no disguising the fact they had returned.........

(Springfield, Ky.) – Holly Elmore, Dean of Instruction at Washington County Elementary School and Washington County Middle School was selected to participate in the Kentucky Association of School Administrators Kentucky Women in Education Leadership Forum held on January 19-20, 2018 at the Galt House in Louisville. Elmore was one of 30 women leaders chosen from across the state to attend the competitive cohort, and several female superintendents, including Washington County Schools Superintendent Dr. J. Robin Cochran, were invited to attend the conference to provide insight on being a female leader.
A native of Campbellsville, Elmore is a 2000 graduate of Taylor County High School. She received a Bachelor of Science in Biology, minoring in secondary education from Campbellsville University in 2004, a Master of Arts in special education from CU in 2009, and a Master of Arts in instructional leadership at the University of the Cumberlands in 2011.
Holly Elmore
In addition to networking with other education leaders, Elmore and other attendees of the KWEL Forum enjoyed talks and presentations with advice and encouragement from speakers including Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, former Ms. New Jersey Dr. Joy Jones-Cormack, Dr. Nanette Johnston and Dr. Rhonda Caldwell. Participants also attended a pinning ceremony where they were inducted into the inaugural cohort of KWEL.
"This experience was humbling," says Elmore. "I sat at a table of distinguished women across the state and I wondered how in the world I had gotten there! It was fascinating to learn how women in different roles have overcome their own personal obstacles and challenges, only to find that was the anchor of their impact. This experience has caused me to look deeply inside myself and search for my calling personally and professionally. In that contemplation, I have found a drive to further my education. I look forward to the journey and appreciate the opportunity to be influenced by such an amazing group of women. I especially appreciate the support and confidence Dr. Cochran has afforded me during my tenure in Washington County. She has been instrumental in my professional growth and that is priceless to me."
"The Washington County School District is honored to have Holly Elmore participate in KWEL," said Cochran. "The application process was time consuming and her willingness to commit to the work is commendable. Everyone has the ability to grow and learn, but few will put forth the work and effort to change. Ongoing professional learning is not easy, however, one of the most admirable qualities Mrs. Elmore has is the willingness to continue to improve. We are excited to see the work Mrs. Elmore does and know that her leadership will continue to impact the staff and students of Washington County."

What is the exact age cut-off for the competition?
To enter, you need to be aged 25 years or under, as of the competition closing date; Thursday 30 May 2013.
Can I enter more than one idea?
Yes, multiple entries are welcome and you can enter as many times as you wish. Each entry will be judged individually. However if you have a couple of good ideas sometimes it's better to spend the time developing just one of those ideas properly. You do need to complete and submit a separate entry form for each idea.
I'm working on ideas with a group of mates. Can we put more than one name on the entry form?
No, only one name is allowed on an entry form. The person who develops the idea should be listed as the entrant. Remember that this competition can only be won by individuals. Winners can be supported by their teams, but teams won't be officially recognised. See terms and conditions (condition 2.6).
Any suggestions for developing a winning idea?
Ensure your idea answers the brief! Sounds simple but many entrants can get carried away about making a general road safety communication for the TAC that they completely forget about the specifics of the competition brief. Keep your idea fresh. Remember you are creating a concept for a short film, not a TV commercial and definitely not a 'traditional TAC road safety ad'! The judges will be looking for highly creative ways to influence young people who drive or are passengers in their mates' cars.
What if my idea wins, but I don't have much experience making films?
You will be supported along the way. The TAC will introduce you to mentors who will work with you throughout the pre-production period, help you get organised for the shoot and then provide guidance and advice through post-production. Keep in mind that film making is an intense experience and you should be prepared for the workload, particularly from August – October.
Where can I find statistics on young drivers?
Visit www.tacsafety.com.au where you can find out loads on information. Specifically you can check out the young driver statistics
You can also find some interesting articles online such as this story of a grieving father: http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/grieving-dad-tells-of-ebonys-deadly-choice-20111101-1mt1m.html

|Free Brown Scapular
"Prompted by Our constant love for the tender Mother of God, and mindful also of Our own enrolment from boyhood in the Confraternity of this same Scapular, most willingly do We commend so pious an undertaking, and We are certain that upon it will fall an abundance of divine blessings.
We are concerned with that which is of supreme importance to all, and with the manner of achieving it safely. For the Holy Scapular, which may be called the Habit or Garment of Mary, is a sign and a pledge, of the protection of the Mother of God. But not for this reason, however, may they who wear the Scapular think that they can gain eternal salvation while remaining slothful and negligent of spirit, for the Apostle warns us: "In fear and trembling shall you work out your salvation."
"Let all of you have a common language and a common armour; the language, the words of the Gospel; the armour, the Scapular of the Virgin of Carmel . . . which enjoys the singular privilege of protection even after death." -POPE BENEDICT XV
"This most extraordinary gift of the Scapular -from the Mother of God to St. Simon Stock . . . brings its great usefulness not only to the Carmelite Family of Mary but also to all the rest of the faithful who wish, affiliated to that Family, to follow Mary with a very special devotion."-POPE PIUS IX
"The Carmelite Scapular, because of its nobility of origin, its extraordinary spread among Christian peoples for many centuries, the spiritualizing effects produced by it and the outstanding miracles worked in virtue of it, render the Scapular of Carmel commendable to a wondrous degree." -POPE LEO XIII
"Let us now make a novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and I shall be ready to die." -Pope Leo XIII during his last illness.
"The Scapular is, in a true sense a 'habit.' Those who receive it are, by their clothing, associated in a more or less intimate way with the Order of Carmel. Those who wear it profess to belong to Our Lady in the same way as the Knight of the Thirteenth Century, the century of the Scapular Vision, felt that he was ever under the watchful eye of his Lady. He was valiant and sure in battle, and when wearing his 'Colours,' would rather have died a thousand times than allow them to be tarnished. -POPE PIUS XII
"It becomes clearer day by day that the way for men to return to God is assured by Mary, that Mary is the basis of our confidence, the guarantee of our security, the foundation of our hope." -POPE JOHN XXIII
"Therefore, all Carmelites, whether they live in the cloisters of the First and Second Orders, or are members of the Third Order Regular or Secular, or of the Confraternities, belong to the same Family of our Most Blessed Mother and are attached to it by a special bond of love. May they all see in this Keepsake of the Queen herself, a mirror of humility, and purity; may they read in the very simplicity of the Garment a concise lesson in modesty and simplicity; and above all, may they behold in this same Garment, which they wear day and night, the eloquently expressed symbol, of their prayers for the divine assistance; finally may it be to them a Sign of their Consecration to the most Pure Heart of the Immaculate Virgin, which (consecration) in recent times We have so strongly recommended.
"And certainly this most gentle Mother will not delay to open, as soon as possible, through her intercession with God, the gates of heaven for her children who are expiating their faults in Purgatory- a trust based on that Promise known as the Sabbatine Privilege." -POPE PIUS XII
Suppose that Our Lady were to appear to you today, and suppose that she were to promise you that you would certainly save your soul on the fulfilment of one simple condition-would you be interested? Would you not say "Yes"? Would you not promise to accept such a condition? Would you not feel that when your time came to die, her promise would make death easier for you?
If you can say "No" to these questions, then this pamphlet will hold no interest for you. But it will interest you if you sincerely wish to save your soul, because the Queen of Heaven has made this promise to you; and she will keep her promise if you do what she asks.
What is Our Lady's Condition?
Our Lady simply asks you to wear her Brown Scapular during your life, as a sign that you are her child, and because you love her and want to do what she asks. That is all. She doesn't ask you to say any special prayers, or to do any special "acts"-just to wear the Scapular because you love her, and because she has given it to you.
What Our Lady promises.
She promises that if you do wear her Scapular she will take you under her special protection, and she will see to it that you do not lose your soul. Remember, she promises this, and she will do it. She is the Queen of Heaven, and everything she asks of her Divine Son is granted.
How Did Our Lady Make the Promise?
Our Lady made her Scapular Promise over 700 years ago. In 1251 a holy Carmelite priest, St. Simon Stock, who had devoted his whole life to the loving service of the Queen of Heaven, implored her for some sign of her special protection. She appeared to him, all radiant and loving, and gave him the Scapular. She then made him a promise far beyond what he sought. She said:
That was the promise of the Mother of God-that whoever dies wearing the Scapular will be saved. That promise was for you.
What do the Theologians and Spiritual Writers Say?
Our Lady does not mean by her promise that anyone dying in mortal sin will be saved.
Theologians and spiritual writers explain the promise to mean that anyone dying while clothed with the Scapular will receive from the Blessed Virgin Mary at the hour of death either the gift of perseverance in the state of grace, or the grace of final contrition.
This is what Blessed Claude de la Colombiere, S.J., says: "Because all the forms of our love for the Blessed Virgin, all its various modes of expression cannot be equally agreeable to her and therefore do not assist us in the same degree to Heaven, I aver, without a moment's hesitation, that the Scapular is the most favoured of all . . .
"I know well that the Saints have spoken most encouragingly on the powerful protection of Mary, but enlightened and holy as they have been they are, after all, only men. Here it is the Queen herself who in that celebrated revelation, reveals all the tenderness of her heart to Saint Simon Stock! Those great Saints have assured me that with Mary to protect my interests I need fear nothing. That does not suffice me. I wish to know if she does protect my interests. Yes. She gives me proof unequivocal. I have but to glance at my Scapular, tangible proof before my eyes, and re call the promise attached to its devout wearing: "Whosoever dies wearing this shall never suffer eternal fire."
How we must wear the Scapular.
At the same time that he joyfully professed: " I learned to love the Scapular Virgin in the arms of my mother," Pope Pius XI warned all the faithful that "although it is very true that the Blessed Virgin loves all who love her, nevertheless those who wish to have the Blessed Mother as a helper at the hour of death, must in life merit such a signal favour by abstaining from sin and labouring in her honour." When that great Carmelite, Saint John of the Cross, received the habit he said: "I desire to practice with fervour all the virtues of Mary which this holy habit symbolizes."
With Love and Reverence
We must wear the Scapular with the same dispositions, striving to love and reverence Mary and doing our best to keep sin out of our lives. If we do this we can be sure that we are wearing it in the right spirit. As a matter of fact, if anyone had no real desire to avoid sin, then that person would not bother to wear the Scapular faithfully and perseveringly. The Scapular is no magic talisman-we shall still be tempted when we wear it-but Our Lady has promised us the final victory over sin if we are faithful to it.
The Scapular Makes You Mary's Child
When you are enrolled in the Brown Scapular, Our Blessed Lady becomes your Mother in a special way. The Scapular with which she clothes you reminds you of your dependence upon her. Child-like simplicity is one of the silent lessons it teaches. As long as we wear it we shall be reminded that we are in a spiritual state in which we need to be clothed by Our Blessed Mother, and it will keep us in her arms always.
Of course all men are her children because she is a Mother to the human race; but when you put on her Scapular you put on her special uniform and dedicate yourself to her service. When a young man puts on an army uniform it is a sign that he is in the Queen's service; from that time onward he is serving his country in his daily life- and, in return, he receives special privileges. So with you when you wear Our Lady's own uniform-the Scapular. You belong to her and are consecrated to her in a special way. It is as if you were to say: "I want to be your special child, so I promise to wear your uniform to show this." In return Our Blessed Lady promises you that your salvation will be her special care and that she will not allow you to lose your soul. Although she loves every person in the world, her care and affection for you will be something special, more than others receive.
For Your Part . . .
Of course we who wear Our Lady's Scapular and are proud to be her children will strive in our daily life to treat her as a loving Mother. It will be our joy to pray to her, to imitate her, to honour her publicly, to be chaste like her, to look to her with loving trust for all our needs. We shall, out of our love for her, find by in saying the Rosary, or the Little Office of Our Lady; we shall find time in our busy lives for some spiritual reading; like her, we shall try to live in God's Presence, training our minds to turn easily and naturally to spiritual things.
During your Lifetime
Our Blessed Mother's love and care for us will extend to every moment of our life. Every day we are faced with temptations-she will give us the extra graces we need to conquer them. And if, through our weakness or malice, we do fall into sin, a loving appeal to her will obtain the grace of repentance for us. Then also, she will offer us many more opportunities of gaining merit, and of loving her Divine Son more. She will help us to make good use of these. She will help us to be pure, to be honest, to be good-tempered and kind to others. Our Blessed Mother will always be at hand to assist us in times of sorrow or pain or trouble. Even in our everyday difficulties we will not ask her in vain for help. Whatever will help us to love her Divine Son she will obtain for us-every year, every day, every minute and every second of our life, she will be near us.
"Other pious practices," writes Fr. Chaignon, S.J.," are attached to certain times and to certain places, but the devotion to the Scapular belongs to all time and places. Thanks to my little habit, wherever I am, whatever I am doing, Mary never sees me without seeing on my body evidence of my devotion to her. Always and everywhere my Scapular pleads for me, recommends me to her tenderness, tells me that I love her and that I confide all my interests in her maternal care."
At Your Death . . .
Speaking of the Scapular, Bl. Claude de la Colombiere says: "It is not enough to say that the habit of the Blessed Virgin is a mark of predestination. Because of the alliance which Mary contracts with us, and which we enter into with her, no other devotion renders our salvation so certain."
Few of us like to think about dying. We dread it. We don't often think about it. Yet nothing is more certain than that we must all die. We know that, and we know too, that the moment when we die is the most important moment of our whole life. The whole of eternity depends on it. If we die with unrepented sin on our souls, we condemn ourselves, not to a lifetime, but to an eternity of misery and agony and suffering. If we die with the love of God in our hearts, then, not a lifetime, but a whole eternity of love and complete happiness lies before us. If we could only realize this, how lovingly we would wear the Scapular during our lives! Our loving Mother, the Queen of Heaven, has made us a tremendous promise-"Whoever dies wearing this will never suffer eternal fire"! She will be beside us at that fateful hour. She will see that we have true sorrow for our sins, she will see that our hearts are filled with love for her Divine Son. She will take the terror away from the moment of death, and will strengthen and encourage us. She will remind us that her own beloved Son, Jesus, will not condemn those who have lovingly worn His Mother's uniform during life. Her promise is clear-she will not let us lose our soul.
And After Death? . . .
Our Blessed Mother's special interest in those who wear her Scapular during life does not cease with their deaths. We would expect her, as a loving Mother, never to cease helping her children until they are released from Purgatory and united forever in Heaven with her Divine Son and herself. But we have far more than a mere hope of such assistance-Our Lady of Mount Carmel has made a second clear and explicit promise on the help she will give to those in Purgatory who wore her Scapular during their lives.
The Second Scapular Promise . . .
Our Lady has made a second wonderful promise to those who wear her Scapular. Seventy-one years after she had made her amazing promise to Saint Simon Stock she is said to have appeared to Pope John XXII, in the year 1322, and promised in favour of those who wear her Scapular speedy release from Purgatory, particularly on Saturday, provided certain conditions are fulfilled.
The second Scapular Promise does not depend on the alleged vision. It has been ratified by the authority of the Church exercising its power of "binding and loosing."
The conditions are:
1. To wear the Scapular faithfully after valid enrolment;
2. To observe chastity according to one's state;
3. To recite daily the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin.
The first two conditions are unchangeable, namely, to wear the Scapular and to observe chastity, but in regard to the third condition, anyone who cannot read the Office may substitute abstinence from flesh meat on Wednesdays and Saturdays. No commutation is necessary to substitute abstinence for the Office in this case. But, if the Office is too difficult, any priest with power to enrol in the Scapular may change it for something else. The usual commutation is the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be, etc., seven times each day, or the recitation of the Holy Rosary.
The Sabbatine Privilege. . . .
This second promise in favour of those who wear Mary's Scapular is known as the Sabbatine Privilege. It is called the Sabbatine Privilege because of Our Lady's special mention of Saturday (in Latin, Sabbatum means Saturday) as the day when she will come to the assistance of her children.
Saturday is traditionally honoured as Our Lady's day-the liturgy provides special Masses in her honour and we are encouraged to turn our thoughts and prayers to her on that day.
This privilege has been approved again and again by later Popes, and it is a common practice for devout Scapular wearers to hope and pray for the grace of dying on Saturday. The great Carmelite mystic, St. John of the Cross, used to pray for this grace, and his prayers were answered. Before he died, in the year 1591, he said: "The Mother of God and of Carmel hastens to Purgatory with grace on Saturday and delivers those souls who have worn her Scapular. Blessed be such a Lady who wills that, on this day of Saturday, I shall depart from this life!" Pope Benedict XV. moved particularly by the thought of this great privilege said to the seminarians of Rome: "Let all of you have a common language and a common armour; the language, the sentences of the Gospel; the armour, the Scapular of the Virgin of Carmel which enjoys the singular privilege of protection even after death."
Pope Pius XII wrote in his Scapular letter for the Seventh Centenary of the devotion: "And certainly this most gentle Mother will not delay to open, as soon as possible, through her intercession with God, the gates of heaven for her children who are expiating their faults in Purgatory-a trust based on that Promise known as the Sabbatine Privilege."
Too good to be true?
These then are the two amazing promises made by Our Blessed Lady in person, for those who faithfully wear her Brown Scapular. You may be tempted to say: "It is too good to be true-it makes the work of saving my soul too easy." But you would be forgetting the great fact that underlies this devotion-Our Blessed Lady is the Mother of God, and at the same time she is your Mother. She is the Mother of God, of Jesus Christ who is really God, and who can do all things. What He wants she wants, and whatever she desires her Divine Son gives to her. And, at the same time, she is your Mother, loving you far more than your earthly mother, prepared to give you far more, wanting only that you shall be united with her in Heaven in the love of her Divine Son. Who could say that she cannot carry out her promises? Who can say she does not want to do so? She can and she will. If you honour her during your life by wearing her Scapular, she will certainly be true to all she has promised.
Other Privileges of the Scapular
So far we have only considered the two great promises of Our Lady- but they by no means exhaust the spiritual treasures that may be gained by wearing the Scapular faithfully. There are many others which, even apart from Our Lady's promises, would be enough to make us wear it. The Scapular is a storehouse of spiritual treasures-the extent of which we shall only fully understand in Heaven.
You Share in the Merits of the Carmelite Order
The Scapular is a privilege granted by Our Blessed Mother to the religious Order especially dedicated to her-the Order of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, better known as the Carmelite Order. You receive the Scapular through this Order, and become in this way the sharer of its spiritual goods. When you reflect for a moment on the holiness of an Order that has, for many centuries, given great Saints to the Church, you will realize that this is no mean privilege. You know the holiness of Saints like St. Albert, St. Angelus, St. Peter Thomas, the Little Flower, St. John of the Cross, St. Teresa of Avila, and many others. There were Carmelite Saints who loved the Scapular and share it with you as the precious gift of Our Blessed Mother. You share it with all of them, and you share in their merits too.
Moreover, you share also in all the prayers and merits of every Carmelite Monastery throughout the world. You share also with the immense body of the faithful who wear and love the Brown Scapular- the hundreds of millions of people of every race and in every part of the globe. All belong to the same family and have the same Mother, and the prayers and merits of the other members help us in our particular difficulties. The Brown Scapular is the badge of that big family-by wearing it you are entitled to every privilege as one of Our Lady's special children.
The Church has shown its wholehearted approval of the Scapular by opening to it the store-house of indulgences. The list of indulgences is so long that it would be impossible to give it here; indeed a complete list of them would almost fill the pages of another A. . . . . pamphlet. The late Prior-General of the Carmelite Order, Father Magennis wrote: "Through the generosity of the Church, we thus have-apart from the two promises of Our Blessed Lady to all who wear her Scapular-a rich field of spiritual favours from which we may reap an abundant harvest, not only for ourselves, but also for those souls who, whilst on earth, were united to us by the bonds of love and friendship and fraternal charity." So, by wearing the Scapular, we are able to assist far more effectively the holy souls in Purgatory. Those who were near and dear to us during life will, even after their deaths, be helped greatly by our faithful wearing of the Scapular.

Spring feels like it has finally arrived. I say that warily since every time I've done it before it has snowed. I still have to wear my jacket most of the day, but the weather is warming up. I even left my boots behind and wore my sandals all day.
I have an interview I should have ready to post next week. I just haven't gotten around to answering the questions yet. With the weather warm I spend a good deal of time outside. Yesterday I went on a two hour walk down the beach. I always forget how much I love long stretches of sand with waves lapping up against it.
I was so good on top of that! I took my camera and got a couple of pictures!
Yes, I get to walk here anytime I want. And yes, I might be bragging about that a bit. I'm very pleased with this new discovery though. I've spent so much time in the mountains, surrounded by trees, I'm thrilled with the openness.
I've also been doing good things. (Not reading, I was trying to settle on a new book.) I've been working on signing up for another college class! I found an Archaeology class so I am really hoping that one works out.
I'd try and write more, but dinner is soon. And I should get those interview questions answered and decide if I want to go on a bike ride tomorrow or a long walk. This could take all night since I'm such an indecisive person.
The end.

Yesterday's (5/17/08) New York Times featured an article by Ron Lieber titiled, "Five Basics for Building a Solid Financial Future.") This reminded me of other "summary rules" posts I've seen, most notably the two below:
http://blog.mint.com/blog/finance-core/three-principles-of-personal-finance-all-you-need-to-know-for-financial-success .
After thinking long and hard (and based on these and other readings!), I have compiled my own list of rules.
1. Spend less than you earn. (You can do this by either or both spending less and by earning more.)
2. Be prepared for the unexpected.
3. Know your goals, and allocate risk accordingly.
4. Invest primarily using index funds.
5. Only get into debt when it is leverage on an investment.
6. Automate billpaying and investing as much as possible
7. Adjust the price of items to reflect their cost to you in time spent working before you decide whether to pay it (adjust upwards to reflect both income taxes and the additional costs you incur by working; a good approximation for many working middle class people will be a 50% increase).
8. Know what you are buying, which is not necessarily what they are selling (ATT is selling "relationships" with "Reach out and touch someone," but you are only buying a phone service; cosmetics are selling the vision of yourself as sexy and desirably but you are only buying a lipstick), and get what you pay for (be a good consumer advocate for yourself; ask for service, make returns if the product is unsatisfactory).
9. Use the power of time to make your money go further (take advantage of compound interest on investments; give yourself a day's delay to limit impulse spending).
10. The ultimate financial goal is financial independence.
11. Invest not only financially, but in relationships, self-development, and in your health.
12. In deciding what to spend or invest your money in, remember that making a decision that is "good enough" rather than "the best possible decision" maximizes satisfaction (Schwartz) and that, in the end, people value experiences more than material goods (Van Boven), regret things not done more than the things that they have done (Gilovich), and will often end up happier than they expected with difficult decisions due to the operation of the psychological immune system (Gilbert) (the names cited are the psychologists who have done relevant research).
*To earn $30 to spend, you need to earn more than $30 because of taxes–federal, state, and local income taxes, Social Security and Medicare, state unemployment insurance–totalling these together, using the average rather than the marginal federal tax rate will approximate 25% of income for most people, so you need to earn 1.25 * $30 = $37.50 to have $30 to spend, just by adjusting for taxes.
But one also must consider that one spends a lot of money to earn money (as is elaborated in Joe Dominguez's and Vicky Robbin's Your Money or Your Life, from whom this next idea is taken)…one spends on increased transportation costs (gas, parking, increase depreciation and repair), increased food costs (more meals out and prepared food bought at the grocery store because you don't have time to cook), increased costs for clothing (professional clothing, dry cleaning, professional haircuts, cosmetics), and increased "stress reduction costs" (massages, vacations that you need because you're stressed from working), and increased technology/communication costs from trying to keep up with the pace of business life, not to mention child care costs for those who have children (or even in some cases, "fur kids"). Say that those expenses total 20% of your total spending.
Dividing 37.50/26 yields 1.5, or a 50% premium on the stated price–what you really need to earn in order to pay it.

The Employee Ownership Update
Corey Rosen
November 15, 2007
Nominate a Company—or Your Company—for the Wall Street Journal Winning Workplaces AwardThis year, 7 of the 15 winners of the Wall Street Journal Winning Workplaces awards were employee ownership companies. The awards go to companies with 500 or fewer employees "that foster teamwork, flexibility, high productivity and innovation while also treating their employees with respect and providing benefits, both traditional and nontraditional, that make the employee experience better." Nominations are due by February 1 and are easy to compile. You can nominate your own company or another company. Winners are announced in a special edition of the Wall Street Journal and receive considerable additional national attention."
SEC Looking at 10b5-1 PlansThe Securities and Exchange Commission is looking at 10b5-1 plans, plans that allow insiders holding equity incentives in their company to sell their stock on a prearranged schedule. The plans can exempt the insiders from blackout periods on trading because of insider knowledge. The plans must be written and set up in advance of the insiders having any information that might be relevant. A study by Alan Jagolinzer of Stanford found that executives using 10b5-1 plans had abnormal returns 4.1 to 7.4 percent above what would have been expected. One way that could happen is if executives manipulate the release of earnings reports to be fortuitously timed with sales and purchases.
Final 415 Regulations Contain a Few SurprisesIn April, the IRS issued final regulations under Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code, which places limits on annual additions to defined contribution plans. Generally, the regulations simply codify existing requirements, but they also made some changes worth noting. First, the definition of annual compensation has been clarified to include post-severance payments paid within 2 1/2 months following severance or the end of the limitation year. Regular pay, overtime, bonuses, commissions, etc., must be counted, but other forms of payments, such as for accrued sick leave or military service, are optional. Other types of severance pay, including parachute payments, deferred compensation triggered by severance, and severance pay itself, are not included. In a significant change, the rules state that the annual addition dollar amount must be prorated if the plan is terminated before the end of the limitation year.
California Revises Securities Requirements for Equity CompensationTraditionally, California has had the nation's strictest rules for the issuance of equity awards in closely held companies. Among other rules, awards had to be issued at not less than 85% of fair market value, vesting for non-management employees had to be at least 20% per year over a five-year period from the grant date, there were specific repurchase requirements for shares bought back from employees, there was a 30% limit on the amount of equity that could be issued unless there was a two-thirds vote of shareholders to approve more, and shareholders had to approve a plan within 12 months of the plan's adoption (as opposed to the issuance of awards, as is the case in federal rules).
In July, California changed these rules to make them more consistent with federal rules, particularly the exemptions from registration requirements under Rule 701 under the Securities Act of 1933.

Lee Min Ho & Sandra Park do the Bad Love Kiss
Don't be shocked by the title. It's not that Lee Min-ho and Sandara Park are an item or anything. They were filming the CF for Cass Beer and doing the Bad Love Kiss (나쁜 사랑 키스).
Boys Before Flowers hottie Lee Min Ho is back with another CASS Beer ad. Previously, you saw him sashay on the dance floor with Australian model Jessica Gomez.
This time around, Min Ho pairs up with Sandra Park. He plays a guy who charms the sexy Sandara by planting a firm kiss on her lips.
Fans, don't throw a fit, but word has it that to get the "Bad Love Kiss" just right, Min-ho had to kiss Sandara more than 100 times (huh? Orchid is asking - was that really necessary?

Aromatherapy Bracelets provide a fun and stylish way to enjoy your favorite Essential Oils and Oil Blends where ever you go!This Aromatherapy Stretch Bracelet is handcrafted from Natural Lava Stones, Aquamarine Gemstones, and Silver Rondelles inset with Crystals. The Aquamarine Stones are a lovely marbled combination of creams, browns, aquas, and just a bit of a light burgundy/mauve color.
BEAD SIZES: 8mmBENEFITS: provides a method to diffuse your essential oils to promote uplifted moods and cognitive, psychological or physical well-being (exact benefits would vary based on the essential oil used).HOW TO USE: Place a few drops of your favorite essential oil on the lava stone beads. As the stone soaks up the oil, the scent will be diffused for 1-2 days. When you no longer detect the scent, just add a few more drops.This stretch bracelet is sized for wrist sizes from 6.5" to almost 8.0". If you feel you need it sized differently, please let me know when purchasing. I am happy to size to fit!NOTE: The lava stones are natural stone beads. None will look exactly the same and may have slight irregularities in shape and/or size.

Magnetic Therapy Bracelets
When purchasing Magnetic Bracelets, it is important that you purchase a bracelet that fits well. If the bracelet doesn't fit correctly, a large percentage of the power will be lost leaving you with a bracelet that is not effective. Your new magnetic bracelet should fit snugly, but not tightly. If the bracelet is too loose, you will lose some of the power of the magnets. If the bracelet is too tight, it could cause your arm or hand to swell.To ensure the correct fit, first measure your wrist with a tape measure. Wrap it leaving the tape measure flat and tight around your wrist. Then, add 1/2 inch to the measurement. This should allow for a snug fit, but also give you room for a bit of a gap giving your wrist some "breathing room".If you do purchase a size that you find doesn't fit well, Beads-N-Style is happy to provide a Free Exchange for the correct size.
Magnetic Therapy Rings
Our rings are sized according to The Official International Ring Size Conversion Chart. If you are unsure of your ring size, this chart will guide you to the correct ring size. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at email@example.com.
Aromatherapy Jewelry
Aromatherapy Bracelets sizes are the length of the bracelet in inches. If you measure your wrist size with a tape measure and then add 1/2" to 1" to the length (based on our close you would like the bracelet to fit), you should be able to choose the perfect sized bracelet for you.

Breath Test To Detect Breast Cancer
A simple 2-minute breath test at a doctor's surgery could detect breast cancer at an early stage. It is proven that some medical conditions cause patients to exhale volatile organic compounds in their breath. A breath analyzer made by Menssana Research of Fort Lee, New Jersey, is already being used to detect telltale volitile organic compounds in the breath of patients whose bodies are rejecting a heart transplant. The system can also be tuned to pick up compounds that are characteristic of other conditions, and early tests on volatile organic compounds in the exhaled breath of breast cancer sufferers suggest that it might be a more sensitive detector than mammograms, which can be difficult to interpret. The hope is that the system could be a more comfortable initial screening for patients before taking a mammogram --Click the title of this post to read the full article from its source--

London Underground
The Tube (that's London-speak for subway) workers were on strike a while back to prevent a driver from getting fired for something as petty as blowing past four red signals. That made some people upset. A couple of medical doctors were upset enough to put this together. Enjoy! (Warning: Includes plenty of foul language).

Ship Inn Hotel Review - 4 of 39 Reviews
This is a hotel review for Ship Inn Hotel in Kyrenia, North Cyprus
"Always a good stay"
We have been staying here twice a year for 4 years. Been to plenty of others but I can't better The Ship. I would reccomend to friends and family. This is all I want to say but this page keeps asking for more information. Still asking for more info, what a pain. I wish I hadn't bothered now. I am only doing it because some busy body moaning brit gave it a bad review. Bloody hell It's still not enough. How about Mary had a little lamb she also has a fish and every where that mary went. ....... Make your own finish.
