In today's society of nuclear families and small apartments, people have limited space to dedicate an entire room exclusively for prayer and meditation. This has led to growth in demand for small ready-made pooja mandaps that can be hung on walls or fitted into corners of rooms and corridors. These pooja mandaps or pedestals with awnings are available in a wide variety of materials ranging from wood, marble, brass and natural stone. Depending on their financial strength families sometimes order custom made pooja mandaps embellished with precious metals like silver and gold.
Even if you are not able to get the ideal design of modular pooja mandap there are many ways to design a customized pooja area in a small apartment. Here are elegant pooja rooms that can be fitted into a small apartment to bring spiritual harmony into the house.
Most small apartments have to accommodate pooja area either in the living room or dining area and here the former idea has been adopted. This pooja area created right next to the entertainment unit here retains the monochrome color palette and has silver counter with silver idols and frame. The tiny silver bell dangling beside the idol adds charm to the region.
This vibrant kitchen with trendy red and white cabinets has a carved niche built away from cooking area that hosts a pooja room. The carved niche is a deep cabinet with stone shelves that enable arrangement of idols and pooja objects. The door of the cabinet has carved edges and shapely holes on its surface for dispersion of smoke when diyas and incense sticks are lit.
An empty corner of the dining room can be easily turned into a pooja room by setting up a set of neat pedestals like these so that the idols are several inches above the ground level. The shelves above the idols have tiny lights below them to illuminate the region and also store pooja essentials. If you require privacy then install a tiny curtain below the top shelf that will keep the idols out of public view.
In a small apartment where space is scarce we have to make best use of what is available. In this plan a small section of the living room has been sectioned off with a wood wall panel divider and that inset region has been made into a pooja room. False ceiling with designer glass cover lends a warm glow to the area when lights are lit during prayer. The pooja area itself is clutter free and is secluded enough for privacy during prayer and meditation.
It is said that devotion for Almighty should not be judged by ritualistic practices as God cannot be swayed by elaborate offerings and expensive altars of prayer. The living room wall unit has been turned into a pooja space by using the single wide shelf as a pedestal with cabinet underneath. The idols are displaced on the shelf while pooja accessories are kept in the drawers. Golden colored laminate wall paper at the back with tiny lights fitted overhead inside the wall unit enhances beauty of the pooja room.
This innovative pooja area on an open shelf shows that the devout will find a place for the gods they rever in the smallest of homes. Metal shelves built into a corner of the house make a trendy pooja area with different idols in each shelf and space for lamps and incense sticks too.
This small private pooja area shows that even a secluded end of a corridor can become a place of peaceful prayer with the latticed mandap made of marble. These mandaps are readily available both online and offline and can be set up as a wall attachment or fixed on a wooden pedestal like designers Kreative House have here and also created wooden drawers for storage.
While creating cupboard for the storage of regular use objects at home, why not create a cupboard for the gods too with this smart customized door and shelves. Brass fittings on the cupboard edges and wide shelves with spacious drawers at the bottom make this the perfect space saving pooja room for a small apartment.
In a small studio or one-bedroom apartment, dedicate a ledge or shelf in the corner of the room for your mandir. Make sure there is sufficient space for an idol or framed image, as well as a lamp. Add a religious painting or a bright colour on the background wall to separate the space from the rest of the room.
Back-lit panels have the ability to transform magically the simplest of surroundings and the same effect is created here. This bright pooja room may be small and built into a small corner of the house but the marble pedestal and lighting makes up for lack of space.
Do you prefer a designer pooja room? Here are seven stunning pooja room designs for you.

You have seen the statistics: NFP couples have dramatically lower divorce rates than other couples. Some NFP sites claim 5%, others 2%, still others the dramatic .o6% or even .02%.
Now I have not done a scientific study on the matter, but I do have anecdotal evidence. Nothing that would hold water regarding method, mind you, but hard for me to ignore.
I know four NFP teaching couples. What's more, one or both spouses in each of these couples has confided in me, sometimes more than I ever wanted to know.
Of the four, two are divorced, one by the man's initiative, one by the woman's. One of them is a marriage in name only, staying together for the sake of the children. The other to all appearances is a happy marriage, though Lord knows one can only know a marriage from the outside; my bride and I have known couples that we have envied for their apparently smooth sailing- in contrast to our sometimes stormy passage, especially in our first years- only to see those marriages unravel.
I realize that this may be a fluke, that I may happen to know a little corner of the universe where everything is skewed. Call it Opposite World, where 75% of NFP marriages fail.
On the other hand this may be representative.
And perhaps there is a connection?
Natural Family Planning, after all, mandates abstinence when a woman is ovulating, which everyone knows is the time when her desire for her man is most intense. Does frustrating this bring about stresses in the union? For that matter, does the method itself harm the natural and romantic nature of love? I mean bringing out the charts and thermometers and periscopes and who knows what would dampen the ardor, wouldn't it? Sort of spoil the moment?
While respecting a woman's cycle may qualify as "natural" is it really natural to frustrate the desires that flow from that cycle?
As you may discern, my bride and I have never really attempted NFP; it always seemed beyond us, temperamentally speaking. In fact, our one "attempt" was not very scientific, and indeed resulted in a quicker pregnancy than usual.
We mostly practiced SFP: Supernatural Family Planning. Just act natural and let God decide.
We know lots of people who have done this and done well. However, they tend to be folks with a lot of money, which we do not have. Further, besides a lack of money, we each have health concerns which dampen our enthusiasm for adding to our seven (on the other hand our seventh baby is the Sweetest Baby Ever, a total delight).
And as other methods seem even more unnatural- I mean the Pill suppresses ovulation and totally alters a woman's natural cycle- or are capable of killing the newly vivified zygote, or are condemned by longstanding Church tradition, we are at a sort of impasse.
But it is hard not to think that the NFP propaganda is wishful thinking at best.

January 26, 2009: Barry Cauchon
Hi and welcome to another "An Awesometalk With". Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Miss Laura Frances Keyes. Laura is a talented actor and researcher who lives in Rockton, Illinois. She has an impressive resume, having performed in over 30 different plays in the past ten years. But now, 2009 brings a new challenge for her. Laura is taking on her first 'one woman show' with a performance of Mary Todd Lincoln, a historical figure who is near and dear to Laura's heart.
BC: Welcome Laura. It's wonderful to speak with you today.
LK: Thank you. This is really an honor.
BC: Well, it's actually an honor for me because I have never spoken with a Mary Todd Lincoln performer. So thank you for joining me.
LK: Of course!
BC: I want to start off by asking you about your 'one woman show'. Would you tell us about it, along with the setting and how you portray Mary?
LK: Well, as you said, it is a one woman show. My working title is called "Mrs. Lincoln". If I come up with anything snazzier later on perhaps I'll use it (laughing). It is currently in development, which means that just a couple of weeks ago I was still doing research and I am still finishing up writing and editing the play. And in a sense, it is a play. Some people might call it just a 45 minute monologue but I consider it a short play because it has a setting. It has characters. It will have development. It has a short introduction and it will have an ending and not have me just saying a final sentence and walking out of the room.
BC: What is the time period of the piece?
LK: It will be set in the late afternoon of Friday, the 14th of April, 1865 which, as many scholars will know, is just a few hours before the Lincolns leave the White House to go see the play "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre in Washington DC.
BC: That's an interesting time period you chose for Mary Lincoln for sure. What lead you to use that particular moment as compared to a different one in her life?
LK: Well, to be perfectly honest, I did choose another time period in her life to start off with. My first thoughts were to set the one woman show in the middle of 1875 when she was confined to Bellevue Asylum after she was declared insane.
But through a number of persuasions and other decisions, I decided to go with this.
I did choose this day because there had been so much sadness in Mary's entire life. Her mother died when she was 7 years old. And people just kept on dying throughout her life. By 1865, she had lost two of her sons, her father, and her grandmother with whom she was very close. Many of her brothers and brothers-in-law she had lost, not physically, but emotionally, because they had fought for the Confederacy. In essence, they were lost. She never spoke to them again. She had known so much loss in her life.
But then, for five days, from the 9th of April, when the war ended, to the 14th of April, that was probably the happiest time in her life. There was nothing bad that could happen. The war was ended. She might have been looking forward to reconciling with some of her siblings although that's very unclear. We do not have definitive evidence one way or the other. So to answer your question I set the play on this day because it was so happy. There is evidence in letters and journals that said Abraham and Mary were both so happy on this day. They took a private carriage ride and were looking forward to when and where they would retire, after his term was over. And then the whole world comes down around her ears.
BC: So by choosing this particular setting, you've put Mary in the moment before the crisis, in the calm before the storm. It's a really nice piece of theatrical staging because your audience knows what's about to happen, but you, as Mary, are not yet at that stage. You…are still in that happy place.
Briefly how is the play set up? Do you just speak for 45 minutes or is there a preface before the start to help explain the premise?
LK: There will be a short introduction done by another individual. Usually the host of wherever I will be performing. And that introduction will be written by me and I will just hand that person the card to read. And as you said, it will simply set the scene, it will remind the people of the date, because I do think that is important to really make clear that Abraham is still alive. Then the program will be for about 40 minutes followed by a social time for me to answer questions that the audience might have.
BC: You've really impressed me with your vast knowledge of Mary Lincoln. You've obviously done an incredible amount of research on her. From what you told me before the interview, you have a background in professional research. Do you not?
LK: I do indeed. I have Masters Degree in Library Studies which I earned in 2007. And before that, I was English major. And so I am very used to doing lots of research and writing about it. The difficult thing in this process has been to write this performance because I'm used to writing in a detached, academic way. I'm not used to writing in first person. I've had lots of fun while doing it. Many times I would just continue reading the books and then I'd have to go back and remind myself to take notes.
Many of the books written in the past three years have been of great benefit to me because some new evidence has come to light regarding Mary Lincoln. And they have been more…well researched. That's just my opinion but I think they are better researched than ones from a couple decades ago.
BC: And you've obviously combined this talent for research with your love of acting. As I hinted at the beginning of this interview, your resume is quite extensive. I was quite amazed to see that you have performed in over 30 different plays since 1999.
LK: That is correct. And that is how I got involved in this.
BC: And to that point, our audience should know that this is not the first time you've played Mary Lincoln.
LK: You're absolutely right. This whole thing started a little less than a year ago when a friend of mine that I had previously worked with called me up and she said "I'm going to be doing a play in the summer and I want to send you a copy". Now we've acquainted with each other for awhile so I knew that she was not outright telling me that she was going to give me a role. That would have been unprofessional. However she definitely wanted me to read it and she wanted to know my opinion of it. And in conjunction with the sesquicentennial of the Lincoln-Douglas debates (http://www.lincoln-douglas.org/) that were first given in 1858, Freeport, Illinois (which was a site of one of the original debates) was going to produce a play. And their original intent was to produce a play about Lincoln. And when my friend, Lynn Jones, was searching for a play, she actually found that a lot of plays about Lincoln were kind of boring and kind of dull and kind of blah! And they always ended the same way. And so she found one simply called "Mrs. Lincoln". It was written by Thomas Cullinan published in 1969. It was very gripping. One year ago I did not know everything that went on with Mary and her being declared insane. After reading the play I started my own research. So when it came time to audition I was there the first night. And still, I was shocked when Lynn cast me in the role of Mary. Mary was 56 years old in 1875 and, at that point in time, I was 25 years old. I was shocked. I thought that she had made a joke, but she said that I could do it. And it took me a couple of weeks to be convinced that I could do it.
BC: And just to clarify, the setting for this particular play is 1875 versus 1865 which you will be doing now.
LK: Yes. That play that I did in the summer of 2008 was set in the summer of 1875 when Mary Lincoln was declared insane by a court of law and confined to Bellevue Asylum in Batavia, Illinois. It was very intense, but I found that I was immediately drawn to Mary and to her story and to her struggle that she went through to be understood – to try and convince people that she was not insane. And that's why I first started to do my research. I shared whatever I found with the rest of the cast.
BC: You mentioned that when you played 56 year old Mary you were 25 at the time. So to age you on stage, that must have been an interesting process. How did they accomplish this and will you be following a similar approach in your current play?
LK: First of all it won't be a similar situation if only because right now I am portraying Mary at 46 and because I want to keep the idea of her being happy and, in a sense, full of life I'm not going to age myself that much.
However things could change. Perhaps I will receive comments that I should age myself. But for now, my decision is to keep her young looking.
Regarding what happened in the play, early on we made that decision that we were going to age me actually beyond 56. Our aim was early 60s because our thought process was that Mary had been through so much stress in her life. We did have one photograph of Mary taken in 1875. And she looked older; she looked old and tired, like a very stressed woman. And so our aim was to make me look like someone in her early 60s.
I had a team of one hairdresser, two make up artists, and a personal costumer who worked on me every single night. And it was such a process! It took an hour and twenty minutes from start to finish. On the last performance, I asked someone to take photographs of me going through every stage of the process. I wanted to remember this. Not only did I want to remember the people who helped (because I couldn't have done this on my own), I wanted to remind myself that it took a long time to get into that. And that was just the outward appearance of her. I had to work on adjusting my posture. Not just because I was in two different corsets throughout the play, but it was the idea that one would not have moved very quickly in 1875. Nowadays we are used to moving very quickly – jumping up from your desk or go running and talk to the person over here and answer the phone. But back then there was no reason to move very quickly…unless there was a fire or something.
BC: (chuckles)
LK: I had to work at moving a little bit more slowly, but not so slowly that people thought I was under water. I did read somewhere, but can't remember the reference, that she did suffer from arthritis so I tried to be careful of that. Also, I added some gestures and little ticks just to make her an interesting person because no person is ever perfectly, perfectly still. They have little habits that people don't even notice that they are doing. And there are other little things that I added, especially in one scene where Mary has a very long discussion with her son. There were moments of silence which were actually very uncomfortable on stage. As an actor you're trained to never want silence… you always want something going on. Well there had to be silence in this scene because the silence spoke just as much as the words – there is a reason why these people weren't speaking. And so I had to think of something to do while there was silence. And so all of these outward appearances, they all came together to be Mary Lincoln.
I put so much time and effort into this, that when it was over I cried because it was such a wonderful experience. But I never thought that it would continue.
BC: You had a lot of really great feedback on your performance and because of that it started you thinking about portraying Mary again. Is that correct?
LK: Yes. Three different people within three weeks called me and asked if I would give a talk on Mrs. Lincoln. And at first they didn't want me to come dressed up. They thought that I would just come and share my experiences and share the research that I had done. The first person that asked me I said "Oh, maybe. I don't know. Let me think about it." And the second person that asked me I said "Oh, well, that would be interesting." And by the time the third person asked me (and these people did not discuss amongst themselves. I know they didn't) I was so surprised I actually said "You know, there might be something to this . . .!" And that's when I started talking to some friends who are Civil War re-enactors. My friend Donna said "Oh Laura, this could be great. You would love to do this. This would be perfect for you." And so it was through the help of a number of my friends, especially these Civil War re-enactors, that I started down the right path on First-Person Interpretation.
BC: What is the premise of your one woman show? Do you address the more somber side of Mary? Her history of mood swings, ill temperament, etc. Or does the play center on just the happy time you discussed earlier? Is any of Mary's history brought up in the story?
LK: This one woman play won't really address the different mood swings and behavioral issues that were very prevalent in the play that I did and have been much commented on. And I've decided not to address them because I would like to focus on the good times and the happy moments. I have set up a situation where Mary is talking with her seamstress, Lizzy Keckley, who is also a little known person in history. But Lizzy is slowly making a comeback.
BC: …a former slave who became her seamstress.
LK: That is correct. By many accounts, they were very close friends. Lizzy was a seamstress who owned her own store in Washington DC; She closed that down in order to be a companion to Mary Lincoln. And they were very close. There were many letters showing that they were very close friends. And so the situation that I have set up in my one woman show is that Mary is reminiscing to Lizzy and the audience just happens to be there and be listening in.
BC: I did want to ask about you how you got into theater? Did your family get you into it or visa versa?
LK: Kind of visa versa. I was always interested in theater through elementary school. When I was in 5th grade I had the lead role in the Wizard of Oz – I was Dorothy.
BC: That's not on your resume (laughing)!
LK: It isn't because that was 5th grade.
BC: Thirty-one plays and counting!
LK: Throughout high school I took theater classes; I was in the drama club. And it broadened my horizons to learn that sometimes it doesn't matter how talented you are, the director still casts her favorite.
BC: (chuckling)
LK: So soon after that, I did branch further out into community theater. I became involved with a few theater companies. I was on the Board of Directors of one for a while. And after a few years, I began to get my father involved. My father has a very good singing voice and has always been a bit of a clown. Slowly but surely I got him to audition for things. And to this day, he really enjoys doing it. He's had some very good roles and I'm very proud of him.
The rest of my family has gotten just a little bit involved. My younger sister was happy to help with costumes and such before she got into Nursing school which takes up a lot of her time right now. And my mother enjoys being on the script committee and participating behind the scenes.
BC: Did you make your own costume or dress for this?
LK: I did not, no. While I do have a number of costume credits to my name, I purposely tried not to volunteer myself for doing a lot of things for the play in the summer of 2008, because I knew I would be really involved learning all those lines. I did do little things such as point out lots of historical inaccuracies (laughing). After awhile I think that those costume and prop ladies didn't like my suggestions, although I was trying to be nice about it. But I would point out things like "You know, they didn't have Velcro back then. You might want to change that". Or "They didn't have plastic back then, might we get a cup made out of china"? They had a ball point pen on stage …
BC: (laughing)
LK: … and I said "No, no, no. fountain pens I believe were invented in 1885. We're talking about 1875. No one has a time machine here"!
And so for my presentation, I've actually purchased one of the dresses that I wore in the play. It was leant to the theater by a local seamstress and once I knew I was doing this presentation, I called her up and I made her an offer and she accepted it. The dress is very well made. It had to be adjusted just a little bit as the hemline was a little short for me. The dress was adjusted by my friend Donna and now it fits me wonderfully. It looks gorgeous. I had my portrait taken in it…
BC: …which we will post here with this interview once your photographer releases it to you.
LK: Yes, thank you for including that. I did make many items that will be used during my presentation – my reticule, things like that that. Also …umm, okay, I made all the underclothing; there I can just say it!
BC: (laughing)
LK: …but you'll never see those. And that's actually many layers of underclothing that you'll never see that I made myself.
BC: Knowing what Victorian undergarments even looked like along with knowing what was required to make those dresses … ahh … 'puff out', is definitely not my specialty (laughing) as you can tell.
LK: (laughing)
BC: So I will trust that your sewing talents have been true to form.
Umm…after that awkward little moment, let me ask you this Laura. Where and when is your first performance?
LK: It will be on the 12th of February, Abraham's birthday. And it will be at Talcott Free Library (www.talcotfreelibrary.com), here in Rockton. The ladies there have always been very good to me. A couple months ago when I when I first started this research they noticed that I was checking out lots of Lincoln books and I was requesting Lincoln books from different libraries. Eventually they agreed that any new Lincoln books to come in, I was the first one to get them. And so it's kind of a small town library atmosphere. But I'm really looking forward to it. I will truly be amongst friends when I do it for the first time.
BC: Terrific. Do you have any future plans or hopes?
LK: I did receive, through a third party, a name and phone number of a woman who wants me to give a performance for them back in Freeport.
Also, I have just received an invitation to do the same presentation for a group of librarians in Rockford (IL) in April, so we are just making those final arrangements.
I have applied for membership with the Association of Lincoln Presenters which is an association that has about 250 members.
BC: And that's nationwide, too!
LK: That is correct. They have number of members from all over the nation. This association does have a website and also a link to Abraham and Mary presenters that interested parties could contact. I've yet to learn if I have been accepted into the Association. I had to write some small essays in order to apply for membership.
They have a very good mission statement. On the application form, they asked me what evidence I could give them to show that I have done this before and if I had, had I done it successfully. And so I had nothing to give them except the newspaper clippings that were written for the play. I was interviewed for the newspaper a handful of times during the summer of 2008 while the play was going on. So, I sent that in and hopefully I will learn about that soon.
BC: Laura, I hope it really works out for you. It's been a very interesting and informative interview and I've really enjoyed talking with you today. Is there anything you'd like to share with the folks here before we close off?
LK: I want to say thank you to you, Barry, and everyone else who is reading this interview. I appreciate the interest in Abraham and Mary Lincoln. I really do. Even though I am not a history major, I've always been interested in history and as some random famous person once said "Those who do not know history are cursed to repeat it"! I do agree with that in the sense that I think everyone should know their history. My personal mission is that I want to educate people of Mary Lincoln's true life. There are so many books out there but a lot of people would much rather sit and listen to a 40 minute presentation rather than sit and read a book that would take them a weekend to read. So that is my mission. I can only hope that I accomplish that mission and I thank the people for being interested in reading this blog and for possibly coming to see a performance.
BC: Laura, thank you very much.
LK: Thank you.
BC: If anyone is interested in contacting Laura to book a performance, you can either contact her at the following email address: Keyes97 AT aol DOT com or leave a message on my email at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll make sure she receives your inquiry.

A woman reacts outside a townhouse complex following an overnight hostage situation in Aurora, Colo. on Saturday. Four people died including the gunman, according to police reports.
Updated at 4:45 p.m. ET: Two men and one woman were found dead inside a home in Aurora, Colo., after a gunman took them hostage early Saturday morning, police said in a news release. The gunman was shot and killed by police after hours of failed negotiation attempts.
Another woman who had been inside the house was able to escape uninjured and alert authorities, the news release said. The woman told police that an adult male still inside was armed and had fired shots inside the home. She said she saw three people in the home who appeared lifeless as she was leaving.
This marks another shooting tragedy for Aurora, a suburb still reeling from the summer shooting in which a gunman entered a theater, killing 12 people and wounding 58 others. Residents in the city had just been debating whether the movie house chain's owner invited the victims' families to a special event marking the Jan. 17 reopening, with some threatening to boycott the event.
On Saturday, officers were called to a town home in the 16000 block of E. Ithaca Place shortly before 3 a.m. after reports of shots fired. Several nearby homes were evacuated for safety reasons and police sent out emergency notifications for the other residents in the area.
Officers took positions around the house and attempted to get in touch with the gunman, the news release said. Hostage negotiators arrived at the scene and were able to establish phone contact with the shooter. A SWAT team was also called at the scene.

Police survey the outside of a townhouse complex following an overnight hostage-taking incident in Aurora, Colo. on Saturday.
Police said phone contact with the gunman continued intermittently in the following several hours. Several times, the man was told by phone and by bullhorn to emerge from the house, but he apparently refused.
"He was behaving very irrationally throughout the incident and often hanging up on the negotiators," the news release read.
Around 8 a.m., SWAT members moved to the front of the house to break out a window, which caused the shooter to fire multiple rounds that hit the vehicle but did not injure any officers.
Police did not return fire, and shortly before 9 a.m., the gunman appeared in a second story window, firing again at the officers. Police returned fire, hitting the suspect, the news release said. Upon entering the home, police found the three deceased victims and the gunman was found dead in the upstairs bedroom.
Aurora Police Department Sgt. Cassidee Carlson said no names will be released until the coroner's office confirms the identities.
Meanwhile, a judge set a preliminary hearing for accused Colorado movie theater gunman James Holmes for Monday. The hearing is expected to last the entire week. Hundreds of people, including victims, their family members, and members of the public are expected to come.

Founded in 1999, Ohioans for Concealed Carry is Ohio's premier grassroots gun rights organization. OFCC was instrumental
in the passage of the concealed carry laws in Ohio and has been involved with nearly every reform since:
• 2004 - HB12, the first CCW license law ever passed and signed into law in the State of Ohio. While OFCC built on the
efforts of organizations that came before us, OFCC was the key organization in the development and passage of that law
• 2006 - ORC 9.68 modification to grant statewide preemption on firearm laws
• 2008 - Castle Doctrine passed, which presumes innocence if a person defends themselves in their home or their car and
requires an officer who seizes a firearm during a traffic stop to return it unless there is a firearm violation
• 2009 - The legal age for purchasing handguns was lowered to 18 for members of the military and allows for a previous
held CHL being presented to count as training certification
• 2011 - Restaurant Carry and relaxed restrictions on carrying handguns in automobiles and improved relief from firearms
• 2012 - Simplified the CHL laws by eliminating redundant language, changing the definition of the term "loaded handgun"
to mean a gun without ammo in it, also allowed storage of a handgun in your car in the Statehouse Parking garage
• 2014 Removal of the 31+ round magazine restriction, allowed transfers of long guns in non-contiguous states, CLEO "shall sign" provision for National Firearms Act (NFA) restricted items, allowed suppressors while hunting, and as a result of adding the NICS check when issuing licenses, allowed FFLs to use a license issued or renewed March 23 2015 or later in place of performing a background check when selling a firearm.
• 2016 Car storage at school events, as long as the gun stays in the car, and several more places we can carry even though the law says they must still be posted. OFCC did not have a presence during the final late, late hours of the session and this is the sad result. Now we have to finish the job and get the law to make sense
OFCC has two separate cases against anti-gun cities winding their way through the appeals courts. Our lawsuit against the City of Oberlin is currently before the 9th District Court of Appeals. Meanwhile, we have a lawsuit against the famously anti-gun City of Cleveland that is now at the 8th District Court of Appeals. It is likely that one or both of these cases may well end up (again) in front of the Ohio Supreme Court before they can be resolved on the side of freedom. These cases are an immense drain on our resources
OFCC strongly encourages training and bonding through many OFCC activities planned each year with the list growing all
the time. Check out OhioCCW.org for our big events and OhioCCWForums.org for small get-togethers.
• Springtime Fun 'n Gun at either the Rochester Rod and Gun Club or the famous Tactical Defense Institute (TDI)
• Summertime Party in the Park where OFCC brings in guest speakers to talk about your firearm rights
• OFCC also supports local gatherings throughout the year at restaurants and parks for members just to say hi to each other
We need your help to keep OFCC strong. The more voices we have, the harder we are to ignore by those who would choose to take away your gun rights. Our strength is in our members and we truly cannot do it without you. This is a critical time for our gun rights in Ohio and together we can ensure freedom for ourselves and our children.
A one year membership is $25 and a Patron membership is $60

Cables are among the most important spare parts. You should carry a spare set on your scooter and you should also keep a spare set in your garage at home. Snapped cables are an annoyance on every excursion. Cables which are hard to pull take their toll on the nerves and tendons. Frayed cables have to be replaced. For this reason, whether it is a restoration or annual service, replacing the cables on a regular basis is recommended.
We only stock high quality cables which we fit to our own scooters. They are available as individual cables, cables with sleeve and optionally also with PTFE sleeve. They differ in terms of their length and diameter and the appearance and colour of the sleeve. Certain throttle, choke and brake cables differ depending on the specific model.
Cables with PTFE sleeves are perfect for tight installation radii and are very easy to operate. The interior section of the sleeve has a special lining which has a clearly superior effect on the running and the lifespan of the cable. These cables do not require lubricating either.
SIP-TIP: Order screw nipple and new adjusting screws at the same time! Everything apart from PTFE has to be lubricated with oil or grease!
Throttle cable:
With barrel nipple: To be attached to the throttle pulley, screw nipple throttle PART No 94230000 or 942631000 and/or solder nipple PART No 94232000 are required for attachment to the carburettor.
With solder nipple: To be attached to the gas piston, screw nipple throttle PART No 94230000 or 942631000 and/or solder nipple PART No 94234000 are required for attachment to the throttle pulley.

Archaeopteryx, genus of feathered dinosaur that was once thought to be the oldest known fossil bird. The 11–12 described specimens date to approximately 150 million years ago during the Late Jurassic Epoch (163.5 million to 145 million years ago), and all were found in the Solnhofen Limestone Formation in Bavaria, Germany, starting in 1861. However, late 20th- and early 21st-century discoveries of other birdlike fossils of similar age, including Xiaotingia zhengi from the Liaoning deposits in China, have prompted several paleontologists to call for the reclassification of Archaeopteryx as a dinosaur.
Much of what is known about Archaeopteryx comes from a series of well-preserved fossil specimens. The Solnhofen Limestone is a very fine-grained Jurassic limestone formed in a shallow tropical marine environment (probably a coral lagoon), where lime-rich muds slowly accumulated and permitted fossil material to be exceptionally well preserved. Several of the fossils show clear impressions of feathers. The sizes of the specimens range from that of a blue jay to that of a large chicken.
Archaeopteryx shared many anatomic characters with coelurosaurs, a group of theropods (carnivorous dinosaurs). In fact, only the identification of feathers on the first known specimens indicated that the animal was a bird. Unlike living birds, however, Archaeopteryx had well-developed teeth and a long well-developed tail similar to those of smaller dinosaurs, except that it had a row of feathers on each side. The three fingers bore claws and moved independently, unlike the fused fingers of living birds.
Archaeopteryx had well-developed wings, and the structure and arrangement of its wing feathers—similar to that of most living birds—indicate that it could fly; however, paleontologists disagree over whether Archaeopteryx engaged in powered flight (in a manner similar to modern birds) or whether it relied on gliding while in the air. A study of melanosomes (the pigmented, melanin-producing granules present in specialized skin cells called melanocytes) in the animal's feathers revealed that the feathers were black and that the arrangement of the granules within the feather's microstructure probably provided increased structural support to the wings, similar to the way it does in modern birds. Skeletal structures related to flight are incompletely developed, however, which suggests that Archaeopteryx may not have been able to sustain flight for great distances. Archaeopteryx is known to have evolved from small carnivorous dinosaurs, as it retains many features such as teeth and a long tail. It also retains a wishbone, a breastbone, hollow, thin-walled bones, air sacs in the backbones, and feathers, which are also found in the nonavian coelurosaurian relatives of birds. These structures, therefore, cannot be said to have evolved for the purpose of flight, because they were already present in dinosaurs before either birds or flight evolved.
Several paleontologists note that some birdlike dinosaurs of similar age or older also possessed features identical or nearly identical to those of Archaeopteryx. Many features, such as the presence of feathers, three-fingered hands, a wishbone, and long, robust forelimbs, which are often considered diagnostic of birds, also appear in X. zhengi, a species thought to have lived some five million years before Archaeopteryx, as well as others. Thus, these paleontologists claim that Archaeopteryx cannot, in fact, be the world's most primitive bird, and many of the features used to describe birds could be applied to the Paraves, a more inclusive collection of theropod dinosaurs that includes birds and the deinonychosaurs (a group that contains the troodontids and the dromaeosaurs).

Pope Benedict Appoints New Salina, Kan., Bishop
Msgr. Edward John Weisenburger is presently the vicar general of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.
Pope Benedict XVI has named Oklahoma priest Msgr. Edward John Weisenburger as the new bishop of Salina, Kansas.
Bishop-elect Weisenburger, 51, will succeed former Salina Bishop Paul Coakely, who was named Archbishop of Oklahoma City on Dec. 16. The bishop-elect is presently the vicar general of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and the rector of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Cathedral.
He served as an on-site chaplain for rescue workers at the site of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City after the April 19, 1995, bombing that killed 168 people.
He was born in Alton, Ill., on Dec. 23, 1960. His father was a military officer, and his mother was a homemaker. He spent two years of his childhood in Hays, Kan., but grew up in Lawton, Okla.
The bishop-elect attended Conception Seminary College in Conception, Mo., and the American College Seminary at the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium. He was ordained to the priesthood in December 1987, after which he received a pontifical degree in canon law from the University of St. Paul in Ottawa, Canada.
He has served as pastor of Holy Trinity Parish in Okarche, Okla., and as promoter of justice for the cause of canonization of Servant of God Father Stanley Francis Rother. He has also worked in prison ministry and served on the archdiocesan tribunal for 20 years.
In October 2009, he was appointed a prelate of honor by Pope Benedict XVI and given the title reverend monsignor.
He enjoys reading and occasional travel.
The bishop-elect's mother died in 1998, while his father resides in Oklahoma City. He has two sisters, a brother, and several nieces and nephews.
The date of his episcopal ordination and installation as bishop of Salina will be announced in the near future.
The Diocese of Salina has more than 48,000 Catholics in a population of 342,000. There are 76 priests in the diocese, seven permanent deacons, and 167 vowed religious.

- Multiple sliders on the same page
- Links – You have the option to add a link to each slide
- Auto slideshow – You can set the slider to auto slideshow mode and you also have the option to pause the slideshow mode on mouse hover

The ends of a natural-casing hot dog, left, and a skinless wiener, right, are a visual means of telling them apart. (Photos by Leah A. Zeldes.)
Part 3 of a series in honor of National Hot Dog Month.
Is the critical part of a great Chicago hot dog the wiener? Or the condiments?
Both. A top-notch Chicago-style red hot is more than the sum of its parts. Nevertheless, you can't achieve a great banquet on a bun without a fine frank at its core.
That means a snappy, kosher-style, beef hot dog.
"Snap" is that distinctive bite. "Beef" here refers to the filling of the sausage; the outer casing is usually sheep's gut. "Kosher-style" refers mainly to the seasoning, which has a high garlic and paprika content, and the absence of the pork common in other kinds of hot dogs. (Actual kosher hot dogs must be made under rabbinical supervision, and are mostly either skinless or stuffed in collagen casings — made from beef hides — because kosher natural casings are hard to come by in commercial quantities.)
A natural casing helps to give a hot dog that essential "snap" and burst of juiciness when you bite in. Snap is also due to the density of the emulsified meat. Peter Sload, spokesman for Bucktown-based Vienna Beef, explains that its recipe allows Vienna to create a fairly firm frankfurter even in its skinless version, though many skinless hot dogs tend to be somewhat soft. It helps to have a fairly large-diameter frank, too, such as the six-to-a-pound proprietary-recipe wiener served at Superdawg in Norwood Park and Wheeling, which stand up better than most skinless varieties against natural-casing hot dogs.
Skinless dogs date to 1925, when Erwin O. Freund invented a method of making franks in removable cellulose casings and set up shop in the Chicago Union Stockyards. Freund made a fortune — his 200-acre retreat near Lemont is now part of the campus of Argonne National Laboratories — and his business, now Viskase Companies in Darien, is still going strong.
How the hot dog is cooked and at what temperature also affects its taste and texture, says Scott Ladany, president of Red Hot Chicago. "If they leave it in the water too long, it takes some of the flavor out of it."
Most Chicago-area doggeries serve either skinless or natural-casing dogs. You rarely find both styles in the same place, unless the restaurant offers more than one size of dog. Among the hundreds of hot-dog vendors around town, you're as likely to find one style as the next, although minimalist doggeries, such as Gene & Jude's in River Grove and Jimmy's Red Hots in Humboldt Park, tend to be good bets for natural casings. However, plenty of dragged-through-the-garden Chicago dogs, such as those served at Alley Dogs in North Center or Wolfy's in West Rogers Park and Northbrook start with natural casings, too.
If you want to know what kind of wiener a hot-dog stand serves, look at its ends. Natural-casing dogs come to a fairly smooth, tapered point, often with a little tag end of the casing protruding. Skinless franks show a pattern of gathers around a dimple.
That's the innie and outie of hot-dog identification.

A bitter months-long battle over a Kitsilano bike lane proposal that pitted motorists against cyclists and neighbour against neighbour has ended.
Vancouver city council gave the green light Monday night to the $6-million Seaside Greenway and York Bikeway project, which includes a controversial plan to close off one kilometre of Point Grey Road west of Macdonald to commuter traffic, diverting 10,000 motorists to other roads.
"This has been seven months' consultation but decades in the coming," said Coun. Heather Deal.
"This route is going to become a jewel. People will adapt to it and we will be glad we did it."
The most contentious sections of the plan — the Point Grey diversion and the York Avenue bikeway — garnered a 7-2 vote in favour from councillors, largely along party lines.
Six Vision Vancouver councillors and Green party councillor Adriane Carr voted in favour, while NPA councillors George Affleck and Elizabeth Ball voted against.
Mayor Gregor Robertson, who had just purchased a house near the proposed bike route, recused himself from the vote to avoid any potential conflicts of interest.
The plan fills in the last remaining gap in a 28-kilometre cycling route stretching from the Burrard Street Bridge to Jericho Beach. But it is also one of the most divisive issues in recent memory.
"We've divided this community," said Affleck, who put forward a failed motion to defer the plan to October. "There are a lot of people in the city angry about this."
At the heart of the issue, said Deal, was whether people thought Point Grey Road was safe or not.
There was no consensus among speakers Monday night, with some saying the seaside artery is safe, citing ICBC statistics showing there were no accidents between cyclists and motorists on Point Grey Road between 2008 and 2012, and others who say they regularly witness near-misses on the road.
Deal points out the plan shifts commuter access on Point Grey Road east to Macdonald instead of Alma. "That's it. For that difference, you get an amazing continuation of our seaside route."
In total, 217 people registered to speak on the issue over five nights of debate. Monday drew a noticeably smaller crowd than previous nights. The majority spoke out against the plan, calling it defective and costly, affecting many but benefiting only a few.
Markus von Berg said the plan provided a "modest gain" for cyclists but a major inconvenience for motorists, residents, and businesses along Macdonald, 4th Avenue, Broadway, and 10th Avenue, which will bear the load of diverted traffic.
"Why are you going from something working OK to something completely unknown, a complete shutdown," he asked councillors. He suggested the city look at other traffic calming measures for the street, such as pedestrian-controlled intersections and use the savings to fund the bike share program.
Another speaker, James Sullivan, was gung-ho about the project.
"I think it's a great thing for Vancouver to have this as a selling point," he said. "It's not the end of the world as people are saying."
City engineers will start work on the Kitsilano project in early fall, starting with the Burrard-Cornwall section, which will be turned into a more controlled intersection.

Starting my Day Right
The Provo Utah LDS temple and grounds in morning light.
Where Two Horses Live
What you are able to see depends upon your altitude. There is a lesson in this simple reality.
Boston Skyline
The glittering skyline of Boston, Massachusetts with the partially frozen Charles River in the foreground.
Reflected Boston
Light from Boston's financial district reflects on the frozen Charles River. This was a very cold and windy night. The wind made it hard to keep my tripod and camera still. Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
To the Most High
The Boston, Massachusetts Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The first night I was in the area, I visited this temple, but the lights were already off for the night, so the next night I arrived earlier. and was able to shoot for 30 minutes while the lights were still on. Oh, how I love the temples. I feel connected to God while I'm there.
Worth Every Effort
"Today temples dot the earth as sacred places of ordinances and covenants, of edification, and of refuge from the storm. In temples, we receive the most important, most significant, and holiest of all the ordinances in our Church. I testify that it is worth every effort to receive the blessings of the temple."
— David A. Bednar
Leaving as the Lights Came On
After a brief but memorable visit to the historic and beautiful city of Boston, Massachusetts, I left just as the lights came on. :)
To Dance is to Fly

This is Secretariat's 1973 Preakness Stakes, somehow the least dominant of his Triple Crown races. He finished, officially, in 1:54 2/5, despite the fact that not a single timer had him clocked at that time. Now, 39 years later, the long-dead massive-hearted horse shaved more than a second off his time. He now holds the all-time race record, to go along with record marks in the other two.
Here's what happened. The electronic timer at Pimlico registered 1:55 flat. But two clockers for the Daily Racing Form, the closest thing the sport has to independent experts, both timed him at 1:53 2/5. Officials referred murkily to "extenuating circumstances," and more or less split the different: they officially recorded Secretariat's time at 1:54 2/5.
Today the Maryland Racing Commission held a hearing on Secretariat's run, at the request of owner Penny Chenery and the president of the Maryland Jockey Club. Puck Buddys was livetweeting the whole thing, and it was a bizarre parade of forensics experts, timers, split-screen videos, and frame-by-frame film analysis. And in the end, they didn't give Secretariat the 1:53 2/5 time, which would have tied him with subsequent winners. They gave him 1:53 even, a Preakness record. The tremendous machine keeps working.

Westinghouse LVM-42w2 42-inch LCD HDTV Monitor
What We Think
|With its deep, inky blacks and sharp detail, this HDTV excels in most areas of picture quality.
Westinghouse Digital Electronics is one maker that's come out of left field to stage an assault on the LCD marketplace. The company's new LVM-42w2 is a 42-inch HDTV monitor (that is, a basic high-def display lacking a built-in tuner for grabbing digital broadcasts) that sells for as little as $2,299. With a few same-size plasma TVs costing less than 2K, that might not seem like too great of a deal, but Westinghouse's model offers full 1080p screen resolution and it can accept 1080p programs through its HDMI, DVI, component-video, and VGA computer inputs. Both are key factors to consider if you're thinking about the new 1080p-friendly high-def disc formats, and neither feature can be found on any current 42-inch plasma HDTV.
From a design perspective, the Westinghouse Digital LVM-42w2 is no great beauty, but it's considerably more attractive than the last Westinghouse LCD I tested. The TV sports a light gray cabinet with a slim, darker gray bezel surrounding the screen.
A relatively sturdy plastic stand comes with the set, although I'd also consider the company's optional wall mount ($111) if there are any rowdy kids in the house. At first glance, I couldn't spot the well-camouflaged speakers. I eventually found them poking out of the TV's bottom panel, but given the tinny sound quality, you'll be even better off than usual using an outboard audio system.
Despite its lack of an RF jack for direct antenna or cable TV hookups, the Westinghouse's input options are fairly extensive: The TV's back panel includes an HDMI connection, two DVI inputs, two sets of component-video jacks, and a VGA port for a computer or other analog RGB input. However, the one area where Westinghouse skimped is standard (480i) connections. There are composite- and S-video jacks (one of each), but since they share the same stereo audio input, you can only use one at a time when you're relying on the TV's built-in speakers for sound.

We received personalized service, architectural awareness, sophisticated advice, access to outstanding marketing materials and technology and, most important of all, friendship. In a world far too homogenized, Douglas, you are unique. You and your staff were professional, knowledgeable, prompt, considerate and thorough. Douglas, you have a unique perspective on Dallas architecture. We are so happy you represented us, every detail was considered and our sale was in the best possible hands. The marketing of our beautiful home was not quick or easy because of its location, but Douglas, you were steadfast, and in the end we received a very fair price. The only bad part about the transaction being closed was that we don't' have the opportunity to visit with you as often as we did.

David Williams' interest in planning communities was also developed in Mexico where he did similar work before he came to Dallas and then when he left Dallas and his residential practice to work in the Roosevelt administration planning communities.
In Greenway Parks you are introduced to the neighborhood with his Spanish Colonial columns and proceed into a neighborhood with greenbelts of common areas, parkways and parks. His neighborhood and community planning, just as his residential design, was ahead of his time, and extremely attractive and popular today.
In this neighborhood you will find architect-designed and significant homes from several decades. Dallas' best architects and designers have renovated homes in Greenway Parks.
Once again, thank you for all of your patience, hard work and your positive attitude through this entire process. We very much appreciate it!

Simple, isn't it? Now I don't get why RIM's site is so confusing, infos are scattered in PDFs with abstracts, introductions, promotions (shrugs), and all other blabbers while they could just put a simple list of instructions.
I keep thinking that BlackBerries (both the product, the website, and the development tools and documentation) are for PHBs rather than for Dilberts/Asoks.

GracePoint is the place where God and humanity intersect to form a cross that reaches out to save a hopeless world: GracePoints that transform lives, GracePoints that plant churches, which become GracePoints themselves and GracePoints that prepare workers for ministry.
We believe that every local Church of the Nazarene is a GracePoint; a place where a non-believer can come and experience in a real and powerful way this free gift of God's grace. Think of the local church as a "grace portal," and the local congregation as "grace ambassadors."
We also believe that every person created by God has a GracePoint. It is a place located in each and every heart that until they have an encounter with God is empty. It is the place in which God wants to share His free gift of grace.
