Here's a checklist to make the job easier if you decide to redo your children's bedroom.
Using a seagrass floor covering is an excellent decision. However, it's recommended that you have it installed by a professional. Since it is a natural material, it can be difficult to make the joints. The product tends to fray.
Don't forget that certain natural fibres used for floor covering, such as cork and rubber, must be placed in the room 24 to 48 hours before installation to acclimatize them to the ambient air.
Cork is not the only effective soundproofing product, sand between the joists also does the trick. It has the advantage of being inexpensive. Talk to a renovation expert.
Any handyman can install cork, as long as the surface is level.
Vinyl costs less and is more flexible than linoleum, but it's also less resistant. And a material's resistance is extremely important in a child's bedroom.
If you are impatient and not very meticulous, you may not want to take on wallpaper. You will regret it. You have to wash the walls and woodwork with a stripper before applying the wallpaper.[……]

The Moscow International Musical Arts Center on Red Hills is built under the initiative of the mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov and the world famous musician and public figure Vladimir Spivakov with the finance support of the Government of Moscow. Though Moscow is one of the biggest cultural centers of the world this center is the first concert hall for the classical music built in the city in the last 100 years.
The first stone in the foundation of the building was placed on the arrow of Red Hill Island on September 7, 2000. The Center was built in 18 months by the Turk Company "Enka" on the project of The Comradeship of Theatre Architects (the architects are Y. Gnedovsky, V. Krasilnikov).
On December 26, 2002 the ceremony of the opening of the MIPAC took place. At the Ceremony participated President of The Russian Federation Vladimir Putin who compared the Center with "a beautiful glass cup" and noted that "the Ceremony is a bright event not only in the cultural life of Moscow but for all the country".
The MIPAC is the central element of a large architectural ensemble situated on the Krasnokholmskaya Embankment of The Moscow-River. It has a beautiful view on the ancient Novospassky Monastery.
The cupola of the MIPAC is crowned with a treble clef performed by Zeretely. The height of the construction is 9, 5 meters. The clef weights about two tons and additional details – some four tons. The complex role mechanism allows the construction to rotate like a weathervane.
Finally the MIPAC is supposed to include not only three concert halls but also a first-class hotel, a restaurant, musical and flower shops and a saloon of the company "Bluttner".
Not only art and music events but also such public events as NIKA Awards (cinema award) and SLAVA Awards (sport awards) took place in the MIPAC.
All the three halls are available for organization of corporate parties, conferences and congresses (you are welcome to receive more detailed information by contacting us).
The first president of the MIPAC – The National Artist of the Russian Federation, the laureate of the State premium Alexander Voroshilo – headed the Center since August 2002 till May 2003. in May 2003 by the bill of the mayor of Moscow on the office of the President of the Moscow International Performance Arts Center was appointed the national artist of the USSR, the laureate of the State premiums, the professor Vladimir Spivakov.

|Daily Wisdom
Read for This Week's Study:
|Ps. 19:7-14; 119:98-105; Prov. 3:13-16; 30:8, 9; Matt. 13:22; 16:26; Rom. 12:17, 18; 13:1-4.
Memory Text:
|"From infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 3:15, NIV).
Key Thought:
|Scripture provides us with a lot of wisdom for our daily lives.
As we've been studying, though the Bible deals with grand themes of universal importance, such as the great controversy, the fall of Lucifer, and the death of Jesus as a sacrifice for the sins of the world, it's also a book of practical wisdom. In it, we are given guidance for daily life. Though the Bible might not be specific (how could it?), the Lord through His Word has given us wonderful principles thatif followed and obeyedwill make a great difference in how we live, because it will impact the choices we make.
How important that when confronted with choices-whether about family relationships, social relationships, work, money, or leadership responsibilities-we have divine guidance. And why not? The God who knows when a sparrow falls (Matt. 10:29) obviously cares about us and wants what's best for us; thus, we can be sure that if we are open to His leading, if we are willing to open His Word with reverence, submission, and faith, He will guide us.
This week we'll look more at the wisdom God shares with us through His Word.
*Study this week's lesson to prepare for Sabbath, June 16.
|June 10
The Source of Wisdom
Everyone, every day, is confronted with choices, with decisions that must be made. As we all know, wrong choices are made every day too. Often selfishness is at the core of these choices, becauseas fallen beingswe are, above all, selfish beings. How often, too, our wrong choices bring pain and suffering upon ourselves and others.
Think back about some wrong choices you have made and their dreadful consequences, not to berate yourself (there is forgiveness and healing at the cross!), but simply to enforce the point that wrong decisions can be costly.
The good news is that God has given us His Word as a light and guide for us sinful, selfish beings (Ps. 119:105).
In the Bible we can find principles that can give us the wisdom we need to make the right decisions, particularly on moral issues.
Read Psalms 19:7-14, 119:98-105, Proverbs 3:13-16, and John 17:17. What promises and principles are found in these texts that can help us correctly make important moral decisions?
It's one thing to read about biblical principles; it's wholly another to follow them. As the psalmist said: "And in keeping of them there is great reward" (Ps. 19:11). The wisdom found in the Bible is useless unless applied. There are a lot of people out there who, though knowing the biblical principles, act contrary to them anyway. As Christians we need not only to know what the Bible says; we need to obey what it says. Only then can we truly have the wisdom available to us through God's Word. A wise person isn't someone who simply has head knowledge or who can recite text after text; a wise person is someone who acts upon the truths given to us through Scripture.
|What important decisions are you facing? Have you consulted the Scriptures as you face these decisions? Think through carefully the consequences of your choices. What Bible promises can you claim as you seek to make the right decision regarding you choices?
|June 11
Social Wisdom
As humans we have our private lives, the lives we live at home behind closed doors; at the same time, we are also social creatures, living in a society with other people who do not share with us our privacy and intimacy.
Indeed, we are not only private persons but public citizens. Here, too, we can find wisdom in God's Word on how we can best live in our various communities.
In an earlier lesson, we looked at how obedience to the Ten Commandments could impact our family relationships. Read them again (Exod. 20:1-17) and ask yourself how following these principles will contribute to better social relationships, as well.
It has been estimated that throughout the centuries humanity has enacted more than thirty-two million laws, all in an effort to regulate human conduct. Often these laws are changed and abrogated in order to be kept up to date. Not so with the Ten Commandments; the principles behind them are unchanging and eternal, principles that can guide us in our private and public lives.
The Bible gives us wisdom regarding how we can best live as citizens within the larger community. Scripture provides us with more principles that, if followed, can make us better citizens and better witnesses for the Lord in the public arena.
What wisdom do you find in Jeremiah 29:7; Romans 12:17, 18; 13:1-4; and 1 Peter 2:13-14, 17, that will help us better function in society? What other texts can you think of? As you read these verses, ask yourself: How am I best able to apply these words to the particular society in which I live?
|June 12
Wisdom in the Workplace
Scripture acknowledges the reality and need of human work. Adam and Eve, as soon as they were created, were asked to dress and keep the Garden of Eden (Gen. 2:15). Even after the devastation of sin (Gen. 3:17-19), working was designed to be a blessing for humanity (Eccles. 3:22). Furthermore, the Bible recorded the teaching of Paul, who said that if a man refused to work, he had no right to eat (2 Thess. 3:10). Jesus was no less than 30 years of age when He emerged into public life (Luke 3:23), and the Bible says that people knew Him as a carpenter (Mark 6:3).
We know that obeying God's will is related to obeying His written Word. When we obey God's Word, we are obeying His will. But where the Bible reflects His general will, His will for our lives is specific. Though the Lord presents general principles on how to live, we can use those principles to guide us in the more specific areas of our lives, such as in our work.
Inasmuch as the Bible speaks about the need for humans to work, and that working is a major activity of human beings, it's no surprise that the Bible gives us wisdom regarding work.
What principles found in the following texts can apply to our work situation?
3:23, 24
|What areas do you struggle with the most in your job, at least as far as following biblical principles? What's the reason for your struggles? What practical choices can you make to better follow biblical principles regarding work?
|June 13
The Bible and Wealth
" 'Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread. Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, "Who is the Lord?" Or I may become poor and steal, so dishonor the name of my God' " (Prov. 30:8, 9, NIV).
Read the above text. What wisdom is found here that can help us all deal with the topic of money and wealth?
Read Matthew 13:22, 16:26, 19:24, and 1 Timothy 6:10. What do these texts say about the potential dangers of wealth?
Money can do strange things to people. Unlike food, water, or rest, no matter how much money people make, it never seems enough. Sometimes, in fact, the richer people are, the greedier they become. Scripture, however, gives us principles that can help us better understand how we should relate to money and the gathering of wealth. In our desire for money, how crucial that we remember that in the end, the only treasure that lasts is the "treasure in heaven" (Mark 10:21).
|What do you think the Bible means when it talks about "treasure in heaven"? What is this treasure in heaven, how do we get it, and how can focusing on it help protect us from the pitfalls of seeking too much treasure here on earth?
|June 14
Wise Leadership
Let's face it: In this world, as it exists now, there will always be a place and a role for leaders of one kind or another.
Unfortunately, oftentimes people who rise to the level of leadership will seize the opportunity to serve themselves
without thinking of the people they are leading. The Bible gives examples of unselfish and successful leaders such as Moses, as well as dangerous and immoral ones, such as King Herod.
Read Matthew 20:25-27. What important principle about leadership comes from these verses?
Look at Matthew 20:28. How did Jesus manifest this principle of a leader serving others in His own life? What can we take from His example for ourselves?
According to Robert Greenleaf, a servant-leader is one who is a servant first. "It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. The difference manifests itself in the care taken by the servantfirst to make sure that other people's highest priority needs are being served. The best test is: Do those served grow as persons; do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants?"The Power of Servant Leadership (San Francisco: Berrett-Kochler Publishers, Inc., 1998), p. 4.
If all leaders in the past 2,000 years had followed the leadership style of Jesus, how different human history would have been!
Of course, leaders who are willing to serve are few and far between. But as Christians, we should be in the forefront of showing just how it can be done.
Are you in any kind of leadership role at all? If so, how well are you reflecting the principle about leadership revealed here today? How much selfishness and desire for power motivates you, in contrast to the desire to minister and serve?

Further Study:
|Ellen G. White, Testimonies to Ministers, "How Shall We Search
the Scriptures?" pp. 105-111; "Dig
Deeper," p. 119; "Practical Instruction in Labor," pp. 309-318.
"The Bible contains all the principles that men need to understand in order to be fitted either for this life or for the life to come. And these principles may be understood by all."Ellen G. White, Education, p. 123.
"Those who study the Bible, counsel with God, and rely upon Christ will be enabled to act wisely at all times and under all circumstances. Good principles will be illustrated in actual life."Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church, vol. 5, p. 43.
"The Bible unfolds truth with a simplicity and a perfect adaptation to the needs and longings of the human heart, that has astonished and charmed the most highly cultivated minds, while it enables the humble and uncultured to discern the way of salvation. And yet these simply stated truths lay hold upon subjects so elevated, so far-reaching, so infinitely beyond the power of human comprehension, that we can accept them only because God has declared them."Ibid., p. 700.
Discussion Questions:
| How can faithfulness in paying tithes and giving offerings
help protect us against the dangers of greed?
How seriously do we in our daily lives go to the Bible for wisdom in making decisions? As a class, talk about how, in a practical way, we can do that. Pick a few examples, such as Should I marry this person? Should I take this job? Should I move? How can you find in the Bible answers to these specific questions? Or can you?
Discuss the question of leadership and how easy it is for leaders to become selfish and use their power for selfish instead of selfless reasons. What have been some class members' experiences in this area? What have you learned that could be of benefit to others?
|I N S I D E Story
|A Better Way
by LUKA INDI
John and Nora Omanga live in southern Sudan, where they belonged to the major Protestant church in the area. One day Luka, a friend from their church, came to visit.
"I have found a better way," he said. "I have found God's true church." John and Nora listened as Luka explained. "I wondered why our church kept Sunday and asked our priest. He said that in Greek the word Sabbath means Sunday. But now I have learned the truth." Luka opened his Bible, written in the Moro language, and translated it for John and Nora.
The couple listened to Luka and wondered if what he said was true. The two men began studying the Bible together. John had no Bible of his own, so he tried to memorize what Luka read.
One day two Global Mission pioneers came to their area. They helped people work in their gardens in order to get to know them. When the pioneers learned of John and Nora's interest in the Bible, they offered to study with them. Eagerly the couple agreed. Three months later John and Nora joined the Adventist Church.
The chief had given the pioneers permission to live in the area, but when the local priest learned what they were doing, he angrily demanded that the chief send the pioneers away. The chief had given his word and could not make them leave, but he threatened to cane anyone who became an Adventist.
When the chief learned that John and Nora had become Seventh-day Adventists, he cursed them, saying that deadly snakes would strike them.
One day as John worked in his garden, a large viper leaped at him. He managed to kill it before it struck him, but John remembered the curse and prayed earnestly for God's protection.
On a hot sticky night some weeks later, the family slept outside their hut to avoid the mosquitoes that swarmed inside. Later, a noise awoke them, and they found their hut engulfed in flames. The family lost nearly everything, but they were safe. "For once we were glad that mosquitoes had driven us out of the house," John said.
Recently believers in their area have received the first Bibles in Avokaya, their own language. Now they can explain Bible truths to others in their own language.
Our mission offerings support Global Mission pioneers and other evangelistic outreaches in Sudan and other countries around the world.
LUKA INDI is a local elder in Bahar-olo, southern Sudan.

Jena in Thuringia was one of the places where the Luther Bible was printed, so the city played an instrumental role in spreading Luther's teachings.
Luther stayed in Jena several times and his first visit in 1522 was particularly tense: at that time, Luther was ostracised in the Holy Roman Empire and hid at Wartburg Castle under the guise of 'Squire George'. He visited Jena in this disguise and stayed at the Black Bear (Zum Schwarzen Bär). You can still enjoy Thuringian specialities in the Luther Room at this hotel today.
Two years later, Luther held a sermon at St Michael's Church in the town. His pulpit is preserved in the church to this day. Jena is regarded as an important location for the printing of the Lutheran Bible.
Jena, a modern and lively university town and city of science, has a fascinating history as well as a host of visitor attractions. Among the highlights are St. Michael's Church with the original memorial plate intended for Luther's grave, the historical town hall, the JenTower with viewing platform, the famous Zeiss Planetarium and Schiller's summer house.

Community Facilities White Paper
Clear Vision Eau Claire
Committee Report (contains survey results)
Ground broken on new downtown theater La Crosse Tribune
Convention Center Analysis (event centers in La Crosse, Duluth ...)
Top Ten Ways to Make Eau Claire a World Class River City
If you want Eau Claire to build major event facilities, now's the time to pay attention ...
Community-wide studies like Clear Vision and The Good Life recommended it. City leaders examined the feasibility of it. And all the while residents have been clamoring for it. Now it sounds as though the community has been heard, as a group comprised of leaders from UW-Eau Claire, Visit Eau Claire, and The State Theatre has been exploring making a large event facility happen in Eau Claire.
"The community's readiness to partner on a multi-use event center arises from longstanding need, demonstrated by an analysis of Eau Claire's current public facilities. Across the board they are aging, woefully inadequate, or both," the Clear Vision report stated. This references the fact that our biggest facility, Zorn Arena, was built in 1951 when UWEC had 750 students. The next-in-line State Theatre was built in 1926 with 1,100 seats. Our meeting facilities are likewise smaller and older than other regional cities of comparable size.
"The community has identified a multi-use event center as its foremost investment priority," the report concluded. So like any large-scale project, this one needs your input to make sure what we build, where we build, and why we build will satisfy the community's collective vision for the next 50+ years.
Two public discussions have been held thus far (on March 29 and April 25). The discussions were broadcasted live by Wisconsin Public Radio, during which Volume One hosted live online discussion sessions right on this page (see the "Public Meeting Discussion" tab below). You can find audio archives of the events here (scroll down to April 25 and March 29).
What are your thoughts?
Add your own comments below. The feedback shown here will be considered in the official plan of the committee!

On July 2, Kodak Gallery customers will have their photos transferred to a free Shutterfly account. The transition itself won't require much input from Kodak Gallery customers, but there are a few Kodak Gallery features you should take advantage of before there's no turning back.
1. Download high-resolution versions of your photos
One of Shutterfly's biggest weaknesses is that it doesn't let you download full-resolution copies of the photos you've uploaded to the service. In fact, Shutterfly doesn't have any image-download options at all, unless you right-click each image at its biggest display size of 720-by-480 pixels and download that image. It's a really time-consuming process for getting a bunch of low-res images.
The only way to get a copy of all your full-resolution images from Shutterfly is to pay them at least $10 for an archive DVD. The disc costs $10 for an archive of one to 100 images, $15 for 101 to 500 images, and $20 for an archive DVD of 501 to 1000 images.
Kodak Gallery lets you download your full-resolution images for free, so it's a good idea to take advantage of that before the July 2 cut-off date. You may also want to download your favorite images if you want to look at them in the next month or so; the Kodak Gallery site says that some accounts may take some time to show up on Shutterfly due to the massive amounts of photos they have to move over to the service, so any photos you have on Kodak Gallery may not be viewable on Shutterfly for a little while.
Unfortunately, Kodak Gallery doesn't have a batch download feature; you'll need to download each photo to your hard drive, one at a time. That may sound tedious, but it's a far better backup option than Shutterfly provides, and it's free. (Get instructions on how to download images from Kodak Gallery here.)
The Kodak Gallery FAQ says that, during the transition, Kodak and Shutterfly "will make every attempt to maintain your album structure when moving your photos." That doesn't sound like a guarantee, so it's a good idea to organize your photos into folders named after each album on your own hard drive. That way, you can create new versions of your Kodak Gallery albums on Shutterfly or another photo-sharing service after the switchover.
2. Print large photos for bargain prices
Shutterfly and Kodak Gallery both have a wide range of printing options for your photos. Both services provide a lot of different print sizes, the ability to create greeting cards with your pictures, and photo gifts such as customized mugs and calendars, among other things.
Shutterfly is offering 50 free 4-by-6 prints to new customers, which is a nice benefit for the Kodak Gallery crowd. However, if you want to print larger sizes of your pictures, Kodak Gallery's prices will be much cheaper for the next few weeks. Kodak is offering 25 percent off its paid services until July 2, so it's a good opportunity to order any larger prints you'd like as soon as you can.
Kodak Gallery also has a few more options than Shutterfly when it comes to photo prints. On the Kodak site, you get a wider variety of photo-paper types, the ability to print black-and-white or color-tinted photos, and the ability to add a border to your photo prints.
3. Finish up any photo books, calendars, or other projects
It's also important to finish up and order any Kodak Gallery projects you may have been working on as soon as you can. Your own photos will all port over to Shutterfly, but any ongoing photo books, custom calendars, and other projects you're still putting together won't make the move.
Along with those projects, any photo albums your friends have shared with you and any group albums you and your friends have created will not appear on Shutterfly. If you can, it's a good idea to download any photos you like from those albums before July 2, as well.
This story, "What to do before your Kodak Gallery photos move to Shutterfly" was originally published by TechHive.

The Telegrpah's MICK BROWN on "OUT OF MY CHELLE"
9 comments:
- shari said...
Does anyone know how Spectors appeal is coming along???? And what about the "altercation with another inmate" comment??? Is that for real? I was under the impression he was NOT in population. As for "Chelle", if the music is going to only be available online.......she's not going to get wealthy on that. Although, I don't think it would sell in a store either except as an oddity or Spector Ghoulish collectible.

LOL! Thanks for sharing. I have some ideas for titles for up coming albums by Mrs. Spector:
"Out of My Mind"
"Out of Talent"
"I Get My Thrill Emptying The Till"
I could go on and on. Mick Brown has written another great article. What's up with Escobar? I thought he and 'Chelle were "friends" oh wait, maybe that was Phil's "pseudo sons" the Kessel brothers that I'm thinking of.Geesh!

Thank you for the Mick Brown recommendation! I have read a few comments or articles concerning this upcoming CD. His son Louis, on his Louis Spector blog had a quick insight into his thoughts on it too.

This music is not a PS production. There is nothing but a bubble-gum sounding stack of songs that don't fit a woman of her years. She may get this music out, but, how will PS produce any more from behind bars? I find it obnoxious that this woman flits around and smiles from ear to ear when her husband is in a prison and Lana is in the ground. I've never seen so many clothing changes, head spinning photography and all said and done, she can't sing. As I am scrubbing the bathroom, mowing the yeard, keeping up with the cats, what does she do all day? Somebody explain this to me. I can't get a handle on it.

Markets are a great way to explore the character and personality of a region as well as grab a bargain, find a unique gift, discover a long lost art or buy local produce. A starting point for many artists to share their creativity with a wider audience is at one of the local markets in the area.
Each township has a market well worth exploring for a variety of treasures from bric a brac and gourmet food and produce to local art. Our markets are all set in special places from palm forests to historical show grounds to the edge of a lake.

Volkswagen's green commitment: $52 billion
German automaker Volkswagen aims to drop the average emissions from its new vehicles to 120 grams CO2/km by 2015, as part of a "fundamental ecological restructuring" likely to be worth more than €40 billion (US$52 billion by 2016.
The company says more than two thirds of its entire €62.4 billion (US$82.1 billion) investment programme for the coming five years will be directly or indirectly spent on "ever more efficient vehicles, powertrains and technologies, as well as environmentally compatible production."
VW has been looking to bolster its green reputation since being targeted by campaign group Greenpeace over its alleged lobbying against deeper cuts to EU emissions targets.
The company's new emissions reduction target would represent a 30 percent cut on 2006 levels for Europe's largest carmaker, and a sizeable reduction on its current average emissions for new vehicles of 135.5g/km, which sits fractionally below the E.U. average of 136.1 g/km in 2011.
VW said that under the new plan it wants every new model generation to be on average 10 to 15 percent more efficient than its predecessor, while emissions will also be cut from both production processes and manufacturing plants.
As part of the announcement the company unveiled a new €600 million (almost US$790 million) investment designed to expand its use of renewable energies such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, in order to achieve a 40 percent reduction in emissions from energy supplies by the end of the decade.
Plants will also aim to reduce water and energy consumption, as well as overall emissions, by a quarter over the next six years.
Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, chairman of the Volkswagen Group Board of Management, also declared that 2013 would be the "year of e-mobility" for Volkswagen, starting with the release of the two door mini e-up!, which will then be followed by further all-electric or partially-electric vehicles from many of the Group's brands.
"Our declared goal is to make Volkswagen the leading automaker in ecological terms, too," he said on the eve of the Geneva motorshow, before stating that Volkswagen's new five year strategy will focus on responsible conduct towards employees, society, and the environment.
"To take pole position and to sustain that lead over the long term, you have to understand all these dimensions of our business and to practice them convincingly at every level," Winterkorn added. "We are raising the bar much higher when it comes to sustainability."

5-Year-Old 'Ninja' Boy With Terminal Illness Brings Christmas Gifts To Children At Casper Hospital
Meet Dorian Layton, or "Ninja Dorian", a 5-year-old boy living with terminal brain cancer. Dorian performed his own Christmas miracle December 24th at the Wyoming Medical Center by using his own money to get gifts for children in the hospital on Christmas.
Dorian knows all too well the fear, the boredom, and the whole hospital experience. Dorian has been in and out of hospitals his whole life. This year, Dorian didn't want other children in the hospital to have same feelings of fear and boredom as they spend Christmas in the hospital. Wearing a ninja suit, Dorian came to the Wyoming Medical Center on Christmas Eve and delivered gifts to children in the hospital. Along with the gifts, this note was given.

I came home on Monday and that same night was the launch party of Harpers Bazaar Serbia. I was super tired but i couldnt miss it. It was amazing but now back to my outfit. I wore Lepa couture dress with my Jimmy Choo shoes and Proenza Schouler bag that i got from Monnier Freres for Fashion Week but since none of my outfits that i had with me went with it i decided to wear it for this party. I wanted this bag for so long, especially in this color and size and when i saw it on the website i was thrilled. Its a bit more on casual side, it goes amazing with jeans and leather jackets but also with stylish combos like this one. I wore it as a clutch but you have long strap that goes with it. Straight hair is something that is not so usual for me, but it went so well with this dress that i decided to go with it.
Kuci sam stigla u ponedeljak popodne a isto vece se odrzavala zurka povodom lansiranja magazina Harpers Bazaar Serbia. Naravno to nije moglo da se propusti tako da sam pravo sa aerodroma otisla po haljinu i na sminkanje. Sto se outfita tice nosila sam Lepa Couture haljinu, Jimmy Choo cipele i Proenza Schouler torbu koju sam dobila sa Monnier Freres sajta za Fashion week u Milanu. Kako nije isla ni uz jedan outfit koji sam ponela tamo resila sam da je nosim to vece. Ovu torbu sam zelela jako dugo, bas u ovoj boji i velicini. Jako je zahvalna, ide uz sve, posebno uz casual kombinacije sa farmerkama ali isto tako i uz ove malo elegantnije. Sto se kose tice, dugo nisam nosila ravnu ali nekako mi je bas isla uz ovu kombinaciju pa sam resila da je ostavim takvu.

Vitamin D deficiency — when the level of vitamin D in your body is too low — can cause your bones to become thin, brittle or misshapen.
Vitamin D also appears to play a role in insulin production and immune function — and how this relates to chronic disease prevention and cancer — but this is still being investigated.
Although the amount of vitamin D adults get from their diets is often less than what's recommended, exposure to sunlight can make up for the difference. For most adults, vitamin D deficiency is not a concern. However, some groups — particularly people who are obese, who have dark skin and who are older than age 65 — may have lower levels of vitamin D due to their diets, little sun exposure or other factors.
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for adults is 600 international units (IU) of vitamin D a day. That goes up to 800 IU a day for those older than age 70. To meet this level, choose foods that are rich in vitamin D. For example, choose fatty fish, such as salmon, trout, tuna and halibut, which offer higher amounts of vitamin D, or fortified foods, such as milk and yogurt.
Don't overdo it, though. Very high levels of vitamin D have not been shown to provide greater benefits. In fact, too much vitamin D has been linked to other health problems.
If you're concerned about whether you're getting enough vitamin D, talk to your doctor about your diet and whether a vitamin supplement might benefit you.

The Lipizzan horse breed dates back to the 16th century and they are the most breathtakingly graceful creatures young Tehol has ever laid eyes upon. Purebreds are known for being whiter than the purest Columbian blow and their massive members. Some have even said that a few of the grandest stallions had testicles that almost dragged on the frozen tundra of Slovenia (which is where they hail from) during mating season. Now comes the truly intriguing part: I have always held a high interest in genealogy, or was it gynecology? Anyway, the way Chandler Parsons has been playing this season has truly been a mind altering experience. He's white and he's American, two things that don't mix with NBA basketball. This drove me to spend countless hours in the library and on the internet digging deeper than a coal miner, so that I could find Parsons true heritage (calls to his agent were not returned). After a month's supply of caffeine pills and countless rockstars I was able to finally piece it together: this man is part Lipizzan! You see, his distant relatives started the first Lipizzan stud farm and kept it in the family for centuries along with a very little known secret. Now remember, these stallions had an insatiable thirst for ejaculation, so sometimes it was necessary to "milk" them. The idea first came to Bogdan Parsons in September of 1678; He would take this extra horse jizz and, mix it with his own and inseminate his betrothed. Now, you realize this would be difficult since it needs to be squeezed in at the same time in able for traces of the stallion's spunk to take. Imagine jerking a horse off along with yourself at the same time. What timing! Young Bogdan mastered the art of stroking a few months later, timing it perfectly then impregnating his wife. A son was born. An incredibly strong son who grew to be as stronger than anyone in all of Europe and he was hung like, well, a horse. The rest, as they say, is history.
Parsons has finally reached stallionhood and is no longer a yearling, or a gelding like many of his relatives thought when he underwhelmed at the University of Florida. Last night Parsons dropped 32 points, 3 boards and 3 assists, while only missing one shot from the floor. Parsons is real. The research is real. Tehol Beddict is real, and this what else I witnessed last night in the NBA.Please, blog, may I have some more?

One of the most promising lines of investigation in the biology of aging is the ability of the sirtuin family of NAD-dependent histone deacetylases to enhance life span in yeast 48, flies49, and nematodes (Guarente, Helfand). Furthermore resveratrol, the mammalian SIRT1 activator50, increased the life span of high fat fed animals51, and healthy life span52 in normal fed animals (Sinclair). Transgenic Sirt1 animals show improved insulin action (Accili)53 that may work acutely through the hypothalamus (Knight, Barzilai), and chronically through changes in mitochondrial biogenesis (Nair) in models and humans (Hawkins, Crandall). Other sirtuins54 also have a role in glucose metabolism (Haigis), and sirtuin genetics in humans (Suh) are under investigation.

NH political player of 2012 finalist: Mitt Romney
This is a first in a series examining who had the most impact on New Hampshire politics in 2012.
Mitt Romney is only a part-time resident of the Granite State, but he had full-time impact on the state politically in 2012.
The state's first-in-the-nation presidential primary puts the state on the world's stage every four years. There was never much doubt that Romney would win the Republican primary here. In the first days of 2012 the state's political class were discussing the order of finishers of second through fourth place. Romney's dominant 16-point win in the New Hampshire Primary helped make the event probably the least interesting since the 1960 contest.
Romney's roots in the state meant that he would keep coming back. Romney ran the most New Hampshire centric presidential campaign than any in the modern era.
He officially launched his presidential campaign in Stratham. He pivoted to the general election in a major speech in Manchester. He was to announce his vice presidential pick in the state, until a mass shooting in Paul Ryan's congressional district delayed the announcement. He worked on his speeches and vacationed in Wolfeboro bring the Secret Service and his traveling press corps with him. He would pop in for "off the record" stops at the State House.
If someone running other than Mitt Romney had become the Republican nominee there is no way that New Hampshire would have been so personally invested, that the candidate would have spent so much time in state or possibly that the state would eventually be really contested at all.
Romney as the presidential nominee forced President Barack Obama and his surrogates to spend more time here than they otherwise would have. The closing weekend of the campaign saw some of the biggest campaign rallies in state history.
Those rallies overshadowed other hotly contested races for congress and governor in the state, much less those races further down the ballot.
In 2012, New Hampshire was presidential politics all over and all the time. Romney made that happen.

Enzymes Provide Common Ground for Latin American Poultry, Swine Professionals Seeking Answers
Novus International Hosts Third Annual Cross-Industry Enzyme Nutrition Roundtable
ST. LOUIS (June 5, 2017) – Novus International, Inc. invited more than 20 poultry and swine professionals representing almost every region of Latin America to its global headquarters for a collaborative, four-day meeting focusing on the future of enzymes in the feed industry, held May 22-25, in St. Charles, Missouri, USA.
"Feed enzymes have emerged as a critical technology for sustainable animal production," said Luis Azevedo, Area General Manager for Novus in Latin America and Africa. "It's a truly cross-functional and global tool to help livestock reach their full genetic potential."
Enzymes are one of the fastest growing segments of feed additives in the animal protein production industry. A wide array of enzyme types and products can be found in almost every major market around the world, and the industry shows no sign of changing direction. In animal nutrition, most enzymes are used to improve digestibility of certain feed ingredients and reduce the negative impacts of anti-nutrients in livestock and poultry.
For four days, individuals including poultry specialists, swine nutritionists, and researchers in varying fields engaged in open dialog on the influence of substrates in the use of multiple enzymes, how to properly validate enzymes, applying new technologies in monogastric diets and numerous other complex topics. Novus experts and other attendees presented their latest research and techniques from the perspectives of their home countries and businesses to offer a clearer picture of each marketplace and its unique and shared challenges.
"To continue serving our customers effectively, we need to stay well-versed in the latest and greatest technologies and usage practices. That may be the next generation of enzymes or an entirely new innovation," said Juan Ruiz, Technical Services Manager for Enzymes for Novus in Latin America. "As a group, we shared vital information to help navigate the obstacles and opportunities facing enzyme users, and I have no doubts that everyone took something home to better their business."
More information about Novus's enzyme products and other upcoming events can be found at www.novusint.com.
About Novus International, Inc.
Novus International, Inc. is headquartered in metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. and serves customers in over 100 countries around the world.

I'm no parenting expert, but one time my child did say that I was the best mother she ever had.
So, there's that.
I love being a mom. At the end of the day–no matter how many mismatched socks are in the laundry pile or how dirty the van is or how many kernels of corn are under the kitchen table, I am glad I said yes to motherhood.
But it's no surprise that motherhood is hard.
Hard like crying yourself to sleep. Hard like second-guessing every decision. Hard like someone else's bodily fluids on your person. Difficult mothering days are like a suckerpunch in the gut. And like a mood swing gone wild, the next day is beautiful and tender it takes your breath away and makes you want to do it all over again. And again.
Moms do it all.
We fish the icky things out of the dark scary disposal.
We sniff diapers.
We clean and trim other people's finger and toenails.
We give up the other half of our bagel so our child can have a second breakfast.
We smell socks to determine if they are clean or not.
We wait for hours and hours and hours in car lines, doctors offices, at dental appointments, practices, rehearsals and recitals.
We clean up messes we don't make.
We give up our bodies, our beds, our figures, our very lives for other people.
We sacrifice something we really want for something our kids really need.
We say yes.
And then we say yes some more.
We say yes without getting anything in return.
Because that's what moms do.
The most important thing you can do for yourself this Mother's Day: remind mom (even if she's you) that what you do is important. The unseen, unknown hard work of motherhood is changing your kids' world.
Even if no one recognizes it. It matters.
Small service may feel small, but size doesn't matter. What you do matters. It has long-lasting, eternal significance.
And there isn't anyone else in the world who needs to hear this more: Mom, your small daily acts of service, your mundane–it matters so much more than you think it does.
Because when we embrace our yes–as messy and undervalued as it may seem some days it gives us the passion to keep saying yes every day.
It reminds us why we love being a mom:
We love that our teen daughter wants to borrow our clothes (Keep telling yourself it's the highest compliment).
We love it when their feet are no longer the same size as ours though. Whew.
We love that our son who will be 16 next week still grabs our hand when we are walking together.
We love that he mumbles sorry when he drops it quickly-just in case anyone's looking.
We love that our baby still acts like our baby. But not to be confused with acting babyish.
We love the handmade cards and the small collection of homemade pottery.
We love the noisy car filled with arguing, fighting kids (everywhere we go). Ok. we don't really love this.
We love the hope that one day our kids will sleep in on Saturdays (This is also when you know that you have ARRIVED).
We love that our children don't hold grudges and are easy forgivers.
We love that no matter how hard of a day it's been–no matter how much we yell or mess up, our kids still want us.
On this messy parenting road, we can always find something good to be thankful for. No matter what. Always.
Because deep down, we know one day there won't be anyone asking to borrow our clothes, reaching for our hand, making us handmade cards, filling our car, our home, our lives with noise, leaving a trail of mess and mayhem in their wake.
We love that even though we don't love every minute, every phase, every hard mothering day that leaves us weary and wondering if we are doing it right–we love that God chose us to mother our kids.
And that makes even the hard moments, so good.
Happy Mother's Day, friends.

On 7 June 2012, Gay Mitchell, Member of the European Parliament, and the World Vision EU Representation hosted a panel discussion "Europe Can Make the Difference: Ensure Nutrition & Food Security for Children" at the European Parliament in Brussels.
The aim of the event was to raise awareness of the preventable impacts of child malnutrition and deepen the political commitments and actions that should be taken by influential world leaders, in the context of persisting and emerging food security crises in East and West Africa.
The keynote speech was delivered by Dr. David Nabarro, Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Food Security and Nutrition. Other speakers at the event included various EU officials and World Vision global experts.
We took this opportunity to ask Mr. Nabarro why it is important to ensure nutrition and food security for children and what we can do to help.
World Vision launched its study report "Child Health Now – The Best Start: Saving children's lives in their first thousand days" on this occasion. To see the report please click here.

Things are heating up for the Amazing Spider-Man sequel. Just a couple of weeks ago we got confirmation that Marc Webb is returning to direct with Andrew Garfield confirmed to reprise his Spidey role and Emma Stone expected to come back as Gwen Stacy. It was all but assumed that comics love interest Mary Jane Watson would come into play in the follow-up, and now it appears that Webb and co. have settled on the actress to tackle the iconic character: The Descendants star Shailene Woodley. Hit the jump for much more on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 including possible villains and the appearance of a fan-favorite character.
Per Variety, Woodley is in early talks to play Mary Jane Watson in the follow-up. The Secret Life of the American Teenager star showed immense talent opposite George Clooney in last year's Oscar contender The Descendants, so she seems like a swell addition to the Spider-Man franchise opposite the equally talented Garfield and Stone. The actress is apparently the studio's top choice for the role, but Variety notes that she's only in "early talks" so it's still possible that a deal might not go through.
In addition to Mary Jane and an unspecified villain, the studio is also casting the role of Harry Osborn. Played by James Franco in director Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, the comics character is Peter Parker's best friend and, eventually, an antagonist. Variety notes that Electro is rumored to be one of the villains that the filmmakers "are considering" for the pic, but I find it strange/hard to believe that they're still not committed to a villain even though James Vanderbilt wrote an initial draft of the Amazing Spider-Man 2 screenplay last year that was subsequently rewritten by Alex Kurtzman, Robert Orci, and Jeff Pinkner.
Nevertheless, Electro is an interesting choice for the villain and one that Webb could have some fun with. It also makes sense given the electricty-centered post-credits sequence in The Amazing Spider-Man in which a shadowy figure visited The Lizard in his cell. In the comics, Electro's name is Max Dillon, a man who gains the ability to control electricity after being struck by lightning. Give the post-credits character's knowledge about Peter Parker's parents, I assume he'll be crafted to tie into the "untold story" of Parker's origins that was teased in The Amazing Spider-Man and is said to play out through a trilogy of films.
With production set to begin early next year and casting well underway, we should hear more firm word soon about what actors will be joining the sequel—and hopefully we'll have a clearer picture regarding the villain. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens on May 2nd, 2014.

Jeremy Grantham sees a glimmer of light amid the overarching gloom that is dooming civilization to collapse and disorder.
The good news, as he sees it in his quarterly letter to shareholders, is a declining fertility rate and progress in alternative energy.
The new shareholder communication, written as the final piece in a six-part series of special reports with a distinctly dystopic theme, does not offer any specific investment guidance.
But the hedge fund manager's success at foreseeing the credit crisis and focus on predicting other market bubbles has won him a respectful hearing among many market watchers.
Indeed, a recent Wall Street Journal article noted how many financial advisors closely follow Grantham's writings as leads to emerging investment themes. One advisor also mentioned their tendency to be a somewhat "depressing" as well.
And so it is with "The Race of Our Lives," Grantham's current letter, which posits that avoiding "the near certainty of our running off the cliff" depends on the success of "two extraordinarily lucky…gifts that were not available to any prior stressed civilization."
(It is the decline in babies and progress in alternative energy, set against our economy's "reckless…use of all resources and natural systems," that he terms "the race of our lives.")
Grantham considers it a lucky and ironic thing that in the world's growing affluence, wealthy people—who until the early 20th century routinely had eight or more children—now view offspring as "inconvenient and desperately expensive."
Asian nations, whose fertility rates not long ago reached six children on average, have fallen to below replacement rate, as have Western nations including the United States, albeit from a lower starting place. Except for "failed states" in sub-Saharan Africa, other developing nations have joined the West and East Asia in producing fewer children.
Grantham seems to acknowledge the eccentricity of his viewpoint in urging economists to "stop discussing lower population growth as if it were a dire economic threat rather than our last, best hope."
He merely hints to, and minimizes, a looming pension crisis, noting "an added burden to workers of carrying more non-workers for one generation as the changes flow through the system," after which "things stabilize again." But to Grantham fewer people are a good thing "in a world of finite resources."
The other trend Grantham (left) celebrates is a move to energy sources that are not quite so finite. Specifically, he says that renewable solar and wind sources are becoming increasingly competitive with nonrenewable sources like coal, and he forecasts they will be cheaper than coal by 2025 to 2030.
Grantham proposes a scheme wherein China solves its and the world's energy problems by leading in alternative energy. "The Chinese government has inexplicably failed to snatch up my idea," he jokes, though monumental pollution in China's cities has encouraged China's leadership to increase its solar energy production target.
Suspended over the race against civilizational collapse, Grantham writes, are "rising temperatures, slowly rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and, above all, destabilized weather for farming." Progress in alternative energy is thus "one of two most critical inputs into our future viability as a civilization."

Illinois Abandons Second Attempt to Block Catholic Charities' Foster-Care Work
Next step: A hearing is scheduled for Aug. 17.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill.(EWTN News/CNA) — The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services has abandoned a second attempt to block Catholic Charities from providing foster-care services one week after a judge's order kept the state from ending its contract.
Catholic Charities attorney Bradley Huff told EWTN News on July 18 that the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services' most recent attempt to cut off Catholic Charities would have put its foster-care ministry "out of business."
Shortly before a July 18 hearing that would have tested the legality of the state's plan, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan agreed not to go forward with her plan to discontinue referrals to Catholic Charities, while continuing to pay the organization under its existing contract.
Both the Chicago Tribune and The Associated Press reported last week that the state would be stopping referrals, despite the contract extension ordered by Judge John Schmidt on July 12.
The July 18 decision to reinstate the referrals marked another victory for Catholic Charities in its dispute with the state of Illinois over the recently passed Religious Freedom Protection and Civil Unions Act.
Illinois' DCFS had stated in a July 8 letter that it was ending its relationship with Catholic Charities in three dioceses over the Church ministries' alleged refusal to comply with the recently passed legislation.
The three branches of Catholic Charities have maintained they are following the law, even as they continue their practice of placing foster children only with married couples and non-cohabiting single persons.
On July 12, Judge Schmidt issued a preliminary injunction extending the foster-care contract between Illinois and Catholic Charities, which the state refused to renew after it expired in June. The injunction ordered that business between the state and Catholic Charities should proceed as it did prior to the contract's expiration.
"Ceasing the flow of children was not business as usual," said Peter Breen, executive director of the Thomas More Society and legal counsel for Catholic Charities in a July 18 interview with EWTN News.
After learning secondhand, through media reports, about the plan to stop referrals, Catholic Charities and its attorneys scrambled to get clarification from the state that it would continue to refer children to them.
When the state did not give such assurance by July 15, they filed an emergency motion, hoping the judge would reinforce the ruling he made in his July 12 injunction.
Just before the hearing on July 18, the attorney general agreed to continue the referrals, Breen said.
He confessed to being "confused" by the state's move, which he said flew in the face of the July 12 injunction.
Huff believes the disconnect may have been due to miscommunication.
"They are such a large bureaucratic organization that it is quite possible not everyone in the organization got the court's ruling," he said.
But Breen remains suspicious.
"When you put a comment in the Chicago Tribune and AP news wire, it's usually not a miscommunication," he argued. "But, at the same time, we're glad they reversed their position."
Catholic Charities will continue to provide foster care and adoption services until a hearing scheduled for Aug. 17, which will decide the merits of the diocesan charities' complaint against the state.

Molecular Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital
The Department of Molecular Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital is a part of both the research community of the hospital and the Division of Medical Sciences of the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Members of the Department carry out basic genetic and molecular biological research on a variety of topics at the cutting edge of the discipline. At present, approximately 170 people, including 13 faculty and over 85 postdoctoral fellows and graduate students comprise the Department of Molecular Biology. The Department is a major component of the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. All Molecular Biology faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students have concurrent appointments at Harvard, mostly in HMS Genetics.
Massachusetts General Hospital has a long-standing relationship with Harvard Medical School. MGH was the first teaching hospital associated with the medical school, and continues to play a major role in the clinical and research training of medical students, residents and fellows. The location of the Department of Molecular Biology at MGH reflects the belief that basic biological science and medical research will both benefit from close interaction.
A Tradition of Science
In 2011, Massachusetts General Hospital celebrated the 200th anniversary of its founding and association with Harvard Medical School as its first affiliated teaching and research hospital. The history of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School during the past two centuries has been one of continuous interaction; without basic medical research there would have been no new knowledge to improve the treatment of disease and care of patients. MGH, the first hospital established in New England, owes its recognition as one of the world's great medical centers in large part to its long-standing commitment to research in the basic sciences.
The history of basic research at MGH began on October 16, 1896, with the formal opening of the Pathology Laboratory, 50 years to the day after the first public demonstration of anesthesia in an MGH operating theatre, the now-famous Ether Dome. The times called for a new kind of scientist-doctor, someone who combined the practice of medicine with a sound knowledge of science and an instinct for experimentation.

Celebration at Caraiman Monastery
On 20 July 2014, the parish churches and monasteries form all over the country celebrated their saint patron, Saint Elijah the Tishbite – "Lumina" newspaper informs. One of the places of worship which celebrated their dedication day was the chapel of the Monastery of the "Exaltation of the Holy Cross" – Caraiman, in Busteni resort.
His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel celebrated the Divine Liturgy in the summer altar of this monastic settlement assisted by priests and deacons from the mountain area of the Archdiocese of Bucharest, among whom archimandrite David Petrovici, abbot of the Monastery of the "Exaltation of the Holy Cross" – Caraiman of Busteni, and archpriest Stefan Musat of the deanery of Ploiesti, in the presence of many faithful.
After reading the Gospel of the day, His Beatitude Daniel, Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church, showed the spiritual significance of the two Evangelical pericopes to be read on the 6th Sunday after the Pentecost and the feast of Saint Prophet Elijah the Tishbite. The Patriarch of Romania pointed out the fact that the Gospel of the 6th Sunday after Pentecost, referring to the healing of the paralysed man of Capernaum, shows us the divine healing power of Jesus Christ, our Saviour, the father confessor of the souls and doctor of the bodies. The sufferance of the body's diseases, the Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church also explained, is not always a consequence of the sin, but it may be a test on behalf of God or a warning for man's moving away from God. His Beatitude has also underlined the fact that the Gospel urges us to be the hands of the merciful love of Christ, because the healing of a human can be the result not only of the faith of the one who suffers, but also of the strong faith of his family members, of his friends or of some other merciful fellow beings, such as the people who brought the paralysed man to the Saviour to heal him.
In the second part of his speech the Patriarch of Romania pointed out the fact that Saint Prophet Elijah the Tishbite is a man of faith, who wrote not in words, but in his wonderful deeds, who made miracles which were foretastes of the deeds made by Jesus Christ, our Saviour. His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel remembered the resurrection of the son of the widow living in the Sarepta of Sydon – a prediction of the resurrection of the son of widow of Nain and wonderful feeding of Saint Elijah in the desert with bread and meat – a prediction of the Holy Eucharist. "Saint Elijah is a supporter of the right faith in time of confusion and urges us today to keep the right faith, help the poor and always hope more in the power of God than in that of the humans", the Primate of our Church said.
His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel has also urged the faithful to pray for those who lost their lives in the plane crash in Ukraine: "Lots of children died. Nobody survived and this is why we pray God for the intercession of Saint Elijah the Prophet to bring consolation, comfort and hope to those who had victims in their families, and those who passed away to be received in the rest of the righteous and merciful love of the Most Holy Trinity in the heavenly places. We need God's help. Let us trust Him first of all, and then the technique, wisdom and human skill".
To end with the Divine Liturgy, the Patriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church congratulated the faithful bearing the name of Saint Elijah the Prophet and urged them to cultivate the faith of Saint Elijah, to have the sense of justice and mercy for the poor. The community of the monastery was also congratulated for the activity unfolded, coordinated by rev protosingelos Gherontie Puiu, who was a servant and founder of this monastic place of worship. His Beatitude offered a newly printed Bible and some other liturgical books to the Monastery of the "Exaltation of the Holy Cross" – Caraiman as a sign of appreciation.
To end with the Divine Liturgy a festive time was held. His Grace Varlaam Ploiesteanul, Assistant Bishop to the Patriarch, conveyed a congratulatory message on the occasion of the birthday and name day of His Beatitude. "Although you told us many a time that these are intimate moments of Your Beatitude's, showing that the feast that the entire Romanian Orthodox Church must observe is that of the enthronement of Your Beatitude as Patriarch of Romania, which we shall have on 30 September, when we will also celebrate your 7 years of fruitful pastoral rule at the head of our Church, we wish to convey you our best thoughts of good health, and power to work, so that you should head us with the same total devotion in the more and more complicated future", His Grace Varlaam Ploiesteanul said. His Grace offered His Beatitude, on behalf of the members of the Standing Meeting of the Church national Council, an engolpion of the Mother of God, made at the Workshops of the Romanian Patriarchate. Abbot David Petrovici has also offered him an icon of the Mother of God and a bunch of flowers on behalf of the monastery's monastic community.

Seidman on Acontextual Judicial Review
Louis Michael Seidman (Georgetown University Law Center) has posted Acontextual Judicial Review to SSRN.
Is constitutional judicial review a necessary component of a just polity? A striking feature of the current debate is its tendency to proceed as if the question could be answered in the same way always and everywhere. Defenders of constitutional review argue that it is a conceptually necessary feature of constitutionalism, the rule of law, and the effective protection of individual rights. Critics claim that it is necessarily inconsistent with progressive politics and democratic engagement. Largely missing from the debate is a fairly obvious point: Like any other institution, constitutional review must be evaluated within a particular temporal, cultural, and political context.
Part I of this article lays out the groundwork for my discussion by separating out several questions that are too often conflated. It addresses the distinction between arguments for constitutionalism and for judicial review, between arguments for judicial review grounded in political and substantive justice, and among arguments for different types of judicial review. The Part concludes that the embrace of constitutionalism, the choice between substantive or political justice, and the choice among different types of judicial review all depend upon context.
Given the conclusions in Part I, the argument in Part II will come as no surprise. The wisdom of providing for judicial review turns on the type of judicial review we are talking about and on the relationship between judicial power on the one hand and constitutionalism, political, and substantive justice on the other. All of these factors are different in different times and places. It follows that judicial power to invalidate statutes and executive actions is a contingent good.
A brief coda discusses the implications of this argument for the discipline of comparative constitutional law.

Light Cyclocross Bike #6: Dave's K2 proto
Numero Seis is Dave's "Giant" cyclocross bike, Dave says, "its a prototype K2 frame that we (i used to work at K2) made for Jonny Sundt. never hit production. My team is sponsored by giant so thats why the Giant decals. :)" Pretty cool. BTW, whatever happened to Sundt?
Frame- Kinesis prototype K2, Kinesium tubing w/ carbon seat stay, 56/56
Fork- Alpha Q
Wheels- Zipp 303
Tires- Challenge Grifo 34'
QR- Mavic
BB- FSA Isis Ti
Cranks-FSA Carbon Pro 38/46 w/ 3rd eye (recently replaced w/ new Dura Ace)
Pedals- Time Atac carbon Ti
Brakes- Spooky w/ Ti bolts
Empella chicken levers (being removed for next season)
Brakepads- Koolstop black
F Der.- Dura Ace
RDer.- Dura Ace
Shifters- Dura Ace (R) Ultegra (L) 9spd
Cassette- Dura Ace 12-27

Total weight: 17.8 lbs/8.07 kg
This bike/frame probably has another full season or two in it & I think our team deal with Giant may be ending. So, next year will probably bring new paint & new decals for whatever bike manufacturer we get. These frames handle & ride like no other so I'll be on them until they break or wear out. :)

This is a very solid race rig, the DA cranks will be a nice upgrade. I had a Columbus Foco Taylor frame that had those seat stays, can't say they made any ride quality difference but for that steel frame they were actually lighter than the steel stays that would have been used. Good to hear that you're getting rid of those silly extra brake levers. Cheers! -josh
I actually had the Dura Ace cranks on for the last couple of races,way stiffer. As for the carbon stays on the alum rig, its a HUGE difference on bumpy grassy courses like StarCross, especially with an alum frame. I can see where you wouldnt notice to much on a steel ride. As for all the discussions on chicken levers early last fall (I was for em), I found myself not using them much at all this past season. Wierd how that works. :)
What happened to Johnny Sundt? Ask Josh - he can tell you all about him...
Basically he became a part-time Elite racer, race promoter (Star-crossed) and a part-time hothead (I was going to use a stronger word but then realized if I identify myself I may be endangering myself).
Anyhow, on my two forays into the NW in 2004 (GP races and '04 Natz) I got to see him "in action". In the Tacoma Elite race Josh came around him cleanly and Johnny started going OFF on him calling him a "f**king faggot" and all this other shit. When my group passed him he was spouting all kinds of obscenities.
At 2004 Elite Nationals I passed Sundt (again, cleanly) on lap 2 in the mud. He actually took his hand off the bars and threatened to hit me. I just kind of looked at him and kept going...
He didn't race very well and I wonder if that the source of his frustrations. I have since heard more stories of him being a hothead. I did meet him off the bike once (03 Nats Promoters mtg) and he seemed fairly nice...
This is funny, i just logged on to answer Jeremy's question about Sundt since i just noticed it. Looks like someone beat me to it. :) Gato does have a rep as a hothead & most of it comes from being insanely crazy about his sport. I've know Jonny since he was a young cocky Jr. exp mtn bike racer. Now he is a older cocky pro road racer. :) He's a good guy if you know him personally but yes, he can be a total jack ass if you dont. I talked to him briefly last week out our seattle cross meeting & then again today at my work. He's planning a full asault on cross for this fall & sounds pretty serious. For the past few years he's been pretty burned out from a full road season but his goal this year is to be fresh come fall. I hope it works for him because when El Gato is on form, he's definitely fun to watch. Oh yeah, he's leaving Thursday for some stage race in Mexico & if anyone happens to see him on a sweet carbon bike, i just traded that frame to him for the last two K2 El Gato cross frames. :)
