BOWE, Nicola Gordon. Wilhelmina Geddes. Life and Work. Dublin: Four Courts Press, 2016.
4to. Black cloth, photo-illustrated dust jacket; pp. xxii, 484, illustrated throughout in colour.
First edition. Wilhelmina Geddes (1887–1955) was a vital figure in the Irish Arts and Crafts movement and the 20th-century British stained glass revival – a medieval-modernist painter of rare intellect, skill and aesthetic integrity. On her death she was described as 'the greatest stained glass artist of our time' but since then she has been largely forgotten.
This magisterial account aims to bring Geddes, her world and her work to the wider audience that she deserves. As she moved from Belfast (where she attended art school), to Dublin (where she studied under William Orpen and worked with Sarah Purser at An Túr Gloine) to London (where she lived and worked throughout the Second World War and its aftermath), Geddes continued to produce stained glass and other works of unique power and originality.
Concentrating on the remarkable stained glass for which she is best known but also including other media such as printmaking and textiles, this study draws on hitherto-unpublished primary sources and images to fully celebrate Geddes' remarkable artistic achievement.
Nicola Gordon Bowe, associate fellow, National College of Art & Design, has lectured and published widely on the applied arts and design. Publications include The Arts and Crafts Movements in Dublin and Edinburgh with E.S. Cumming (1998); Harry Clarke: the life and work (4th edition, 2012).

Economy of Communion at the ECPF (European Christian Political Foundation) conference:
'Values, foundations for Europe's economy'
7 June 2012, 10.00 am -16.00 pm
The European Parliament
Altiero Spinelli, A5E-2
This conference aims to show the relevance and need of values as foundations for the future of Europe's economy. Based on this foundation speakers will reflect on the question how human relations, society and economy relate to one another and which economical paradigm will really help our societies and families.
Given the increasing European involvement in directing economic policy at European and national level it is fitting that this vision is presented in the European Parliament. As ECPF we welcome that a number of highly qualified speakers will shed their light on this theme and give direction on how to develop a vision that can become a basis for economic policies in a European and global economy.
Speakers at this conference are:: Philip Blond (UK, Respublica (writer 'Red Tory')), Tomáš Sedláček (CZ, writerdi 'Economics of good and evil'), Michael Schluter (UK, Relationships Global ), Peter Briscoe (NL, Crown Europe), Luigino Bruni (IT, University of Milano-Bicocca) e Peter Ester (Dutch Senator).
Luigino Bruni will speak about "Economy of Communion". See programme

Hello everyone!
I had the opportunity to interview Suzanne van Rooyen, author of Sardust. On Monday I posted my review and if you saw it you know I loved it.
Let's start!
Hello! Thank you for being here today. To start this interview from the beginning: Where did you get inspiration for your book?
Many different places. There was a boy I once knew and he inspired so much of this story, but part of this book was also inspired by my own childhood desire to be an astronaut and the dream I once had of working for NASA. When Mars One became a thing, I was fascinated by the idea of a whole new generation getting to be pioneers in space and that too inspired the story. And lastly, my parents used to live in Texas – I was almost born there in fact – and I've always wanted to explore more of that state so that's what inspired the setting for Scardust.
Can you tell us a bit of your experience writing it and about your writing routine?
This was one of the most difficult books I've ever written. It took me more than two years and too many drafts to count because I just couldn't get it right. It was only in early 2015 that I sat down determined to complete this book and redrafted from the very beginning. Finally, the story came together in a writing frenzy that lasted about a month. My usual writing routine is a little disjointed now because of my day job but I try to write in the evenings and set aside at least one day a week just for writing.
I really liked the characters and their personalities weren't easy, and life haven't been easy with them but: Did you find any character difficult to write? Do you have a character that is your weakness?
Oh yeah. Raleigh was particularly difficult because I didn't want him to be the stereotypical tragic type. I wanted to show how driven he was, how determined and hopeful he was despite everything else. His chapters were emotionally draining to write, but also cathartic. Crow was a breath of fresh air! As was Abigail. I enjoyed writing those two the most. In general, I have a major weakness for anti-hero, under-dog type characters.
Why did you choose to set up your book in the future and why Mars?
Being somewhat of a geek and trying to keep up with space exploration, Mars seems to be the next place humans need/want to go and given all the current developments, it seems feasible that we might be able to get to Mars within the next 20-30 years, hence the near future setting and Mars.
Now, we also want to know about you! Favorite song,book,tv show and movie? (If you have one)
So difficult to choose just one! Right now my favourite song is Beautiful Crime by Tamer. Favourite book is Lost Souls by Poppy Z Brite. Favourite TV show is Daredevil. And favourite movie is Mr Nobody 🙂
I love villains and they are always fun (and sometimes quite bad) so: Do you like them and do you have a favorite?
I love a complex villain! As I said, I'm a huge of anti-heroes and those villains that think they're doing the right thing, being the heroes of their own stories. I have two favourites, the first being Loki because he has this incredibly compelling vulnerability while also being smart and conniving. And my second favourite villain is Wilson Fisk from Daredevil because I often found myself torn between who to root for, Matt Murdoch or Fisk – and that's the sign of some brilliant character crafting. The story could just as easily have made Fisk the hero and Daredevil the villain – I love that kind of complexity.
Choose a character you would trust with your life.(Outside your book)
Death from The Sandman Chronicles 😉
Favorite author?
Neil Gaiman and Maggie Stiefvater
Last but not least: Favorite thing about being an author?
Being able to tell stories and share them with others, and getting to let all the voices in my head have their say.
To end this interview, in 3 lines tell us anything you want to say!
Thank you so much for reading my books! I wouldn't be able to do what I love doing without readers wanting to read my words.
This is all for this interview! Thank you Suzanne!
All the pictures were taken from the Pinterest board of the book in the author's Pinterest page.
I hope you enjoyed reading this and check out Scardust! And here is my review is you want to know my thoughts.

With professional expertise and the success of its first NATECRU WOOLS I collection, Maison Pierre Frey launches NATECRU WOOLS II, a second collection that responds with brio to the first. Specialized in wool weaves, the Pierre Frey workshops in the north of France worked very closely with the Design Studio to develop a range of shades with inspiring textures. The collection evokes the nostalgia of the sixties with understatement and is designed for lovers of design icons, as well as contemporary influencers. It highlights this noble and universal material while emphasizing its incredible diversity. Carded and combed, with long fibers, wool offers comfortable prestige. Curled or brushed, it has surprising volume and softness while it envelops with warmth. Wicked or slubbed, it evokes hand-loomed weaves with rustic elegance. Irregular and sometimes agitated, it blends subtly with cotton or linen to make the most of a falsely primal look.
Sourcing is essential in order to meet dual commitment: quality and responsibility. As part of its Social and Environmental Responsibility plan, Maison Pierre Frey is taking action on specific points. First of all, it requires its partners to be able to trace the fibers they use. The baby alpaca comes, for examples, from Peru, the animal's place of origin. Thus, the intermediate processing steps are limited and make it possible to process a first-class wool. The House also ensures that it uses wool from sectors that respect animal welfare. For example, Mohair comes from livestock farms in South Africa that meet very strict specifications. This aims to certify a fair remuneration for farmers and animals are treated properly. Finally, the Pierre Frey weaving workshop located in the North of France, in Montigny en Cambrésis, are labelled "EPV", Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant, and stive to transmit excellent craft skills. The woven products are of high quality, desirable and durable.
In its development, La Maison Pierre Frey combines style with strong societal environmental commitments.

Spring Is On the Way and the Outlook Is Brighter
By Matthew Costin Global Director (Hotels & Hospitality), BDRC Continental | April 20, 2014
That is, if relations between the White House and Capitol Hill about budgets don't deteriorate and nothing gets worse in the Ukraine, South China Sea, the Arabian Gulf and so on. It was ever thus.
The US economy is on the up and the hotel industry is going along for the ride. Hotel room demand has recovered at an accelerating pace in the past year. To such an extent, in fact, that US hotel demand is now predicted to outstrip supply within 2 years, in 2015/16. That should help ADR and RevPAR so long as we don't see further federal government shutdowns (which impacted November 2013 significantly). The improving economy is reflected in a number of lodging industry statistics. For most of 2013, occupancy levels, ADR and RevPAR were all higher than last year.
As the global economy gains momentum, overseas demand is helping to fill US hotel rooms too. Easier visa requirements and quicker processing will smooth the path of the inbound traveler. In fact, simplified visa processing has become a surprise competitive edge for destination countries seeking a larger slice of the (often Chinese) overseas visitor market.
A 14% increase in the total volume of business hotel nights spent by Americans traveling in their own country was driven by an expansion in participation – an estimated 42 million Americans made a business hotel stay within the US in the previous 12 months, up by 5 million against the previous year. The domestic leisure market grew by a more modest 5% - most of which came from growth in the short break 'staycation' market.
The US has also grown as an origination market for international business night volume with destinations such as Canada, Mexico, the UK, Germany, China and France the chief beneficiaries – not to mention Hilton and Marriott – whose lead on international business usage among American travelers is even more pronounced than it is for domestic stays.
Of more than 100 brands tracked in BDRC's USA Hotel Guest Survey, Hilton remains the No.1 ranked brand on a composite measure of brand health across business and leisure markets. The results see Hilton regain the 'Leading Choice' accolade from Marriott for business stays. Interestingly, however, a difference in opinion across age generation cohorts is apparent: while Marriott actually has a very marginal lead for brand preference among Baby Boomers and Generation X, the extent of Hilton's lead over Marriott among Generation Y is sufficient to leave it ahead overall. This appears to be driven by Hilton's stronger association with the emotional and functional priorities of the Millennial business guest – a group which actually spends more now, on average, for their hotel room, than the older age cohorts.

Building approval (also known as a BA) may be required if you are building, altering, adding to, or demolishing a building. If your project requires a development approval, a building approval can't be issued until you have the development approval. If your building project requires building approval, it must be obtained before any building work begins.
The purpose of a building approval is to check your proposed building work:
- complies with building laws, including the building code
- will be safe and structurally sound
- will provide the required levels of fire resistance, amenity, energy efficiency, and if required, access for people with disabilities
Get building approval
To obtain building approval, you will need to:
- Appoint a licensed building surveyor as your certifier.
- Complete and lodge the required forms.
- Pay the relevant fees.
You will need to give your certifier plans that meet the relevant codes and design guidelines.
Commencement of building work
Before construction work begins, your licensed builder, or you as a licensed owner–builder, need to apply to the building certifier for a commencement notice. You or your appointed agent need to sign the commencement notice application form before the builder can apply.
Building work can start once your certifier has issued the commencement notice, provided that all other necessary approvals and requirements are in place.
Other approvals
Find out what other approvals you may need.
Conditions of building
You and the people you employ need to be mindful of:
- any conditions in the notice of decision about your development approval that relate to the project, including that certain conditions must be met before any construction or building work can start
- any lease conditions
Conditions govern what you can build or do with your land, for example, for certain residential leases in new suburbs, construction must start within 12 months from the date of development approval and must be completed within 24 months.
More information
Design and building practitioners can help you prepare plans and seek approvals.

Just ok; no "deviled" flavor. Does not need any butter. Was better on rice than on crackers, tortilla chips, or plain. Would not purchase crab to make this.

If you want crab, this is fab!

The following article reflects the opinion and views of the author and does not present the thoughts of the Ohio University College Republicans. The state of crime in Athens is enough to warrant concern to anyone. The right to individually possess and bear arms is the traditional deterrence against those who would threaten harm to our community. For example, one of the major issues that the student body has routinely drawn attention to is violence and sexual assault on and around campus. Recent crime statistics data provided by the 2018 Clery Act Annual Security Report for Ohio University show the somber state of reported assaults. Beyond those cited instances, it is indicated that there are additional cases that go unreported. The comparative rate of crime is lower on college campuses, like Ohio U, compared to the national average of reported crimes. A study done by Mark Gius, a professor at Quinnipiac University who has done research in public policies from abortion to gun control, proved little correlation between permitting concealed carry on campus to increased crime rates. So permitting individuals to carry does not increase risk but instead offers a safeguard against future assaults. The concern for the public as well as individual safety is not a partisan issue. Instead, it helps bulwark against continued attacks and should be heavily considered in respect to all those who deserve their right to defense. There remains a constitutional right to bear arms and defend oneself in the face of danger. As such, students and faculty of higher learning should be granted the merit they deserve as other respectable citizens who freely carry off-campus. From their position as burgeoning community leaders and respectable professionals throughout all fields, academics over the age of 21 should be qualified to obey and defend the laws and standards that bind them to their academic institutions. Therefore, as is the case in many colleges across the country, Ohio U should allow and advocate for concealed carry permits on campus for the common defense of its student body and faculty. Across the nation, 10 states have already passed campus-based legislation which allows students, faculty and staff to carry concealed firearms. Typically these permits are only accessible to those who are 21 or older. In some states, public universities are required to allow these permits, and in others like Arkansas, public universities are individually granted the option on whether or not to permit licensure on campus. With recent gun-related national tragedies, many have argued for continued restrictions on owning firearms. However, it is profoundly problematic that some people who are running for office desire a future in which most guns are not available to the public. Criminals who disobey the law will still carry a gun, illegal or not. Alarmingly, the independent socialist candidate running for mayor in Athens, Damon Krane, recently voiced support for disarming the police. Athens is on the precipice of becoming a haven for criminals and thugs who can just shove the police aside and commit crimes whenever they want, without fear of consequences. If you believe in your God-given rights, consider bearing arms and evening the odds in any potential circumstances of danger. We do not yet dwell in a utopia and humanity will never fully be peaceful and docile. To those of Athens who dread walking home at night under the cover of darkness, the constitution ordains the right to carry and be free from fear, if people will stand up for it. This is a submitted column, and please note that these views and opinions do not reflect those of The New Political.

Sitting in the cab of the nine tonne vehicle, they received a few minutes' advice from a specialist traffic police officer.
Although the vehicle has six mirrors and meets European standards, members of the public were surprised how cyclists or pedestrians could not be seen by the driver when they were alongside or immediately in front of the vehicle.
Sgt Simon Castle, Roads Transport Policing Command's Cycle Safety Team, explained: "Cyclists and pedestrians should avoid getting too close large goods vehicles because drivers will not be able to see them. We hope that initiatives like this will make London even safer."
The Met Police initiative is called Exchanging Places and was launched in 2007. It won a Prince Michael International Road Safety Award in 2013 for its success in promoting safer cycling.
The arctic tractor was flanked by three vehicles from the Met Police's historic vehicle fleet. Sutton's Safer Transport Police Team were on hand to property mark a total of 13 bicycles to help identify bikes should they become lost or stolen during the three-hour event from 11am outside Waterstones, High Street, Sutton.
The Met Police is working with a number of manufacturers including Volvo and Mercedes to get safer design built into large vehicles. The Met is also a supporting an initiative encouraging truck drivers to become cyclists for a half-day course to gain a Certificate of Professional Competence.

Nutritional Needs of Older Adults
Wednesday, July 17, 2019
Our community is blessed with a very active older adult population. This article is aimed directly at helping understand some of the unique nutritional needs older adults have. I'll look at implications of nutritional needs, areas of focus, and some tips to help implement some nutritional changes to address them.
What are the implications for nutritional needs? First of all, most people know that eating well is important for good health, and that includes managing weight and preventing illnesses. But in terms of the older adult, this is even more important. "Age is a major risk factor for non-communicable chronic disease (NCDs) such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, cognitive decline, dementia, and cancer, all of which have high associated costs of diagnosis, treatment, and care." Eating healthy can be a predictor of disease as we age, as well as an indicator of recovery after injury or illness.
It's helpful to go into older age with a good nutritional base, but can still be beneficial if addressed in later years as age related issues are encountered. "Aging-related inefficiencies in absorption and utilization mean that the requirement for some essential nutrients increase, despite lower energy needs." So, eating well is even more important as appetites decrease and lifestyle challenges become factors; changing family dynamics, medication needs that can hamper nutrient absorption, mobility issues and access to quality foods.
Areas of focus for nutritional needs include: protein, dietary fiber, omega 3 fatty acids, carotenoids (vitamin A precursors), calcium, magnesium, potassium, and Vitamins B-6, B-12, D, and E. These nutrients are commonly low in older adults, but extremely important to help with chronic disease as they age. Because medications are a typical part of aging, many medications can affect the body's ability to absorb certain types of nutrients. For example, commonly prescribed acid blockers can contribute to vitamin B-12 deficiency.
So, now what? Well, some would say, "Supplement." With the exception of Vitamins B-12, D, and E, many supplements prove poor in actually helping address nutrient deficiency. Whole foods prove to be much more effective at addressing deficiencies. Unfortunately, the diet and nutritional lifestyle of older adults changes and does not support whole food lifestyle. Many switch to pre-made meals and foods consisting of; refined grain products, added sugar, preservatives saturated fats, and meats that are processed and high in fat. A concentrated effort in buying from the perimeter of the grocery store, preparing meals at home, and having fruits and vegetables available for snacking is key to supporting a whole food, nutrient dense lifestyle, especially as the caloric needs and appetites of older adult lowers.
Armed with the knowledge of nutritional implications, focusing on certain nutrients, and basic ideas of what simple tips to address them both, adults can successfully age with nutrition on their side. Put on the full body of armor and get right with your nutrition for the aging win!

Second Largest Region in Ontario Bans Minors from IndoorTanning
Sep 27, 2012, 18:06 ET
Melanoma Network of Canada Succeeds with Peel Region on introducing a by-law to ban youth from tanning salons
OAKVILLE, ON, Sept. 27, 2012 /CNW/ - The Melanoma Network of Canada was present today when the Region of Peel, which includes Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon, became the first region and second location in Ontario to ban minors from using commercial tanning beds.
Annette Cyr, Chair and founder of the Melanoma Network of Canada intially approached Councillor Bonnie Crombie of the City of Missisauga in May to request a by-law to promote and protect minors under the age of 18 years from the use of ultraviolet (UV) emitting devices at indoor tanning facilities. "We feel strongly that all governments have a duty to take action to protect youth from harmful UV rays," said Cyr. "The public needs to be aware of the risks posed for everyone, but most particularly our youth. I commend Peel Region, and Councillor Crombie in particular, for taking a stand and moving forward with this by-law without delay."
The Region of Peel's by-law contains significant fines, including $10,000 for the first offence and $25,000 fines for subsequent offences. Enforcement will be done through municipal enforcement officers, or public health inspectors acting under the direction of the Medical Officer of Health.
"I am delighted that Peel Region has unanimously moved this important legislation to protect our youth from the serious effects of exposure to UV rates in tanning beds." says Mississauga Councillor Bonnie Crombie. "The science is compelling and Council knew that if we delayed any longer, we would risk exposing more of our youth to dangerous ultraviolet rays. Today's decision is a significant step in the fight against skin cancer."
On September 14th, Premier Dalton McGuinty announced plans to adopt NDP Health Critic, France Gélinas' Private Member's bill which aims to ban youth under 18 from using indoor tanning equipment throughout the Province of Ontario. On August 13th, the Town of Oakville at the request of the Melanoma Network became the first municipality in Ontario to ban teens from indoor tanning.
Research by the World Health Organization, among many other health bodies, indicates that the use of tanning beds poses significant health risks, particularly in children and youth, increasing the tisk of developing melanoma or other skin cancers by up to 75 percent. Health Canada warns that indoor tanning beds generate about five times the amount of UVA radiation produced by the sun and are not a safe means of producing vitamin D, despite myths to the contrary.

Variable-volume reservoir solves weight problem
Hydraulics & Pneumatics, Jan. 16, 2009
|Versadrill's KMS0.3 diamond core drill rig uses a Variable Volume Reservoir from Sobacor Inc. to trim almost 95% of the weight from the rig's hydraulic oil reservoir. This is important because the rigs are transported by aircraft, which would otherwise require having them disassembled for transport, then reassembled at the work site.
|Sobacor's Variable Volume Reservoir, shown full of fluid and with an instrumentation manifold, can reduce the size and weight of mobile and industrial hydraulic systems without sacrificing performance.
VersaDrill Canada, Val-d'Or, Quebec, manufactures drill rigs and equipment for diamond core drilling. Most of Versadrill's rigs are carried to remote locations by helicopter. Once on site, they are moved to different locations. So, reducing weight of the rigs makes them easier and less expensive to move.
These rigs require powerful drives that are compact and light weight. So, naturally, the need for high power density makes hydraulics the drive technology of choice. But this posed a challenge — how to make the drive even more compact and lightweight.
As with most hydraulic drives, Versadrill's hydraulic systems used a fixed-volume reservoir. The current trend of specifying smaller reservoirs had already been followed, so the challenge was to reduce the reservoir's size even further without reducing performance. Company officials found a solution in a variable volume reservoir from Sobacor Inc., Bois-des-Filion, Quebec. Sobacor developed its Variable Volume Reservoir (VVR) to reduce standard reservoir size and weight, but the VVR also reduces the amount of fluid needed for a system, fluid disposal cost, and potential for contamination.
Substantial weight reduction
Versadrill's previous KMS0.3 drills used a conventional 220-l reservoir. Now, however, they operate with only a 7-l VVR, which reduces the weight by over 550 lb. This amounts to an almost 95% weight reduction of the entire hydraulic system because the reservoir is not only smaller and lighter, but much less fluid is needed. Furthermore, performance has not been affected — and in some cases has actually improved.
As a result, VersaDrill Canada is now evaluating the implementation of the VVR on its larger drill rigs because of the benefits gained on the smaller rigs.
The former rigs had to be dismantled before being carried by helicopter or airplane in order to accommodate the aircraft's maximum takeoff weight. The rigs then had to be reassembled on site, which delayed deployment and added substantial labor cost. The new rigs using the VVR no longer need to be disassembled, which is a huge benefit for Versadrill's customers.
The VVR has been tested and improved for four years on a test stand and is now ready for implementation in mobile and industrial hydraulic systems. The VVRs can be used on many other applications where space and weight are issues. Many other features are involved, such as reduced oil quantity and disposal/environment regulations.

This is a really simple nutrient dense 'pasta' dish devoid of the usual highly refined processed pasta. The use of sea spaghetti instead of traditional pasta adds a whole extra load of vitamins, mineral and anti-oxidants to this recipe. One that is worth a special mention is iodine. Our thyroid gland relies on iodine to create thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone is needed to create energy, without adequate levels of thyroid we experience fatigue & lethargy, not ideal for the endurance athlete!
Away from the health benefits of sea spaghetti, it's delicious taste and texture turns a simple meal into a something perfect for a special occasion.
Prep: 10 mins Cook: 30 minutes
Serves: 2Ingredients: (please use organic where possible):
50 gr. Sea Spaghetti
2 small filets of salmon, skin on
1 large leek, sliced thinly
½ small onion, sliced thinly
20gr butter
1 lemon
15 grams dill
100ml Greek yoghurt or crème fraiche
50ml fish stock
250ml water
Salt and pepper
- First poach the fish. Place the onion, 1 slice of the lemon, 4-5 peppercorns and 1 sprig of dill in a deep saucepan. Pour in the water and bring to the boil, turn the heat down and simmer for a couple of minutes to release the flavour in the liquid. Place the salmon fillets (skin side down) on top. Cover and simmer on a low heat for 10 minutes. Remove the fish from the pan and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile in a separate large saucepan boil water. Add the Sea Spaghetti and boil for 15-20 minutes or as instructed on the packet.
- Make the sauce. Melt the butter in deep frying pan. On a low to medium heat fry the leeks for 5-7 minutes, without allowing them to colour. Add the fish stock, crème fraiche and juice of ½ the lemon and allow to simmer gently for 5 minutes.
- Remove the skin from the salmon and shred it into the sauce. Add the cooked sea spaghetti and mix together with salt and pepper
- Serve with a wedge of lemon.

"Experts say that in order to provide water, basic health, and nutrition for everyone in the world, ... estimates say that it would take somewhere around 20 billion dollars, which is how much Americans spend in one year on ice cream."Friends of ours, Nathan and his wife A, from our Faith family moved across state earlier this year not for a job or hope for a better life for themselves physically. These friends felt called to work against human trafficking and left St. Louis to go where there is a major human trafficking hub ~ Kansas City. They left the familiar and the safe where there was a home and friends and a full-time job to go to a less familiar, unknown place to rent a house and look for any job that would bring them closer to those impacted by this real world atrocity. I think I speak for many when I say we thought in one way that these guys were nuts. At the same time, we knew they were exceedingly special. Yet, God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. That is proven time and time again in history. But also, he doesn't call just some of us. He calls all of us.
In David Platt's book Radical, the author cautions against rationalizing Jesus' words in the Bible into safer contexts and meanings. He goes so far as to say that Americans are beginning to 'redefine Christianity' into a version that is more comfortable, one where we find "[a] nice, middle-class, American Jesus."
Another friend I've found through blogging shares her heart here. She and her husband have two daughters of their own and adopted a son from Guatemala. Feeling led to adopt again, Jami and Clint sought a domestic adoption. Through a number of trials and numerous times waiting for a 'yes' and receiving a 'no,' they felt their hearts being led to foster care. They now have their three children and are Home to three foster children, as well.
Yeah. I know. They are special, too, right?
I'm inclined to believe they don't think themselves any more special than you or me. The difference in my opinion is that they listened, just like Nathan and A, when God spoke.
God is speaking today. Let's take some time to listen together.

GEORGE SEAWRIGHT , the tough-talking Scotsman and self-proclaimed "honest bigot" from the Shankill Road , is a DUP member of both Belfast City Council and the Northern Assembly . He is also the politician most closely associated with the Loyalist paramilitaries .
He believes that the rise of Sinn Fein has made an armed confrontation between the forces of Loyalism and Republicanism inevitable .
From 'FORTNIGHT' magazine , May 1984 .
George Seawright (DUP) says what little element of accommodation there had been in the Sinn Fein programme - a federal Ireland - had now "...been wiped right off the sheet of their philosophy in one go . Now when they speak of 'Brits Out!' they can't seriously be referring to the soldiers who came here in 1969 - Protestants would construe it as meaning them . "
And he concludes with a grim warning to his fellow Loyalists : " Provisionalism has its act together . Republicanism is going the direct road , it's got a clear-cut objective one way or the other . Facing that situation , if Protestants dither - and there is an element of confusion among Protestants - if they remain confused and don't get their act together in this generation , then they'll have to face defeat and have to get out of Northern Ireland (sic) . I believe that when they're faced with the enormity of this situation that will be enough to motivate them to get their act together . "
(' 1169 ... ' Comment - this , again , was propaganda from Seawright : the Irish Struggle is not about 'forcing Unionists/Loyalists out ' of the Six Counties - it is about obtaining an end to Westminster's jurisdictional claim over that part of Ireland and the withdrawal of British Army troops from the island . If those , in the Six Counties , that consider themselves 'British' do not want to stay then they will not be forced to . It is their choice . )
[END of 'THE INEVITABILITY OF SECTARIAN COLLISION' .]
(Tomorrow - '17 Victims Of British Justice' : from 1984 .)
The Sinn Fein electoral wagon is slowing down . As a result , the IRA is likely to begin stepping up its war against the Northern State . GENE KERRIGAN reports from Belfast and also interviews Sinn Fein's DANNY MORRISON on the party's recent successes and failures .
From ' MAGILL ' magazine , September 1984.
'MAGILL' Magazine : " Is'nt one major reason for the lack of development of Sinn Fein in the South its ambiguity towards the State , whether the State has to be removed ? "
Danny Morrison : " Owen Carron was badly misquoted in a speech he made in London two years ago , about how republicans have to destabilise the 26 counties . The Free State government has on occasion since then berated us over that statement , which Owen Carron did not make . (' 1169 ... ' Comment - this corrupt State needs not only to be 'destabilised' , but tore asunder and re-built . The career politicians in Leinster House are living beyond the means of the people ; was Morrison of the opinion that the then Sinn Fein leadership would be content simply to 'tweak' the existing system .. ?)
What Sinn Fein has to recognise and I think is recognising is that the vast majority of people in the 26 counties consider the institutions of the State as being legitimate . Now , I don't . But it is not legitimate to attempt to bring down the 26 counties through armed struggle . ( '1169...' Comment - by this definition , then , was the Republican campaign against the Free State in the early 1920's not a 'legitimate' struggle ?) Fianna Fail and Fine Gael , they're trying to change the 26 counties . Fianna Fail would argue for a unitary state - if there is a unitary state the 26 counties ceases to exist , the institutions of the state become new institutions . Fine Gael say they would favour a federal or confederal arrangement - in which case it has to be new institutions .
What I'm saying is that in the course of achieving a united Ireland the 26 counties will naturally change . And it will have to at some stage cease to exist . Now , that's not the same as getting up waving a red flag and saying "We're out to blow youse away " . The ordinary people in the 26 counties will remove the people who are presently in government and in opposition - because of their failures . They will have to go , they will be removed , quite naturally , by the people . It's got nothing to do with Sinn Fein , it's got nothing to do with the IRA .
Having said that , I recognise that the vast majority of people in the 26 counties consider the State and its institutions to be legitimate . I still say that I don't consider it to be legitimate . ( ' 1169 ... ' Comment - that is not now the position of Provisional Sinn Fein , nor has it been since 1986 . Since that year they have been a constitutionally-registered 'political party' in the Free State .) I consider that the Free State was created by Britain and is still defending what was defended in the civil war ....... "
On 11 July 1986 , Stephen Moore , from Clones in County Monaghan , accepted £25,000 plus costs to settle an action out of court .
He had sued 'Ireland' and the Attorney General for injuries he had received in garda custody in Monaghan Garda Station in March 1983 .
In that same year , John Milne received £51,900 for injuries sustained at the hands of two named gardai in that same garda station . He was also awarded costs .
Despite the fact that more than £75,000 has been paid out as a result of garda activity in Monaghan Garda Station , no garda has been charged with a criminal offence . In fact , some of the gardai who were accused have been promoted .
Stephen Moore ; two Detectives : in his own words , this is what happened ....
... " The Detectives forced me into a metal filing cabinet . They locked the doors . They started banging it and shaking it . It fell to the floor , with me inside . That went on for a few minutes - it was only a few minutes . They opened the doors and I got out . There was a table in the room . The older of the two Detectives continued shouting abuse and the younger one was fiddling about with a piece of paper . I was more or less looking at the fellow who was shouting at me . I felt the younger one putting a piece of paper in my left ear . I know myself that it was a piece of paper that he had rolled up . I honestly thought he was only messing about . I thought he was only playing a trick .
He lit the paper . The moment it was lit , he flicked it out . He did'nt think it would catch alight so quick but at that stage it had burned my hair . The two of them had threatened to throw me out the window . They brought me over and had me at it . There was wire mesh at the front , they could'nt have thrown me out . I knew myself . They continued to hit into my stomach and kicking me in the groin . I called for a doctor continually over the one and a half hour period that I was in there . At that stage they got frightened - I was short of breath . I had bronchitis as a child . I'd been in hospital about a year or two before that . I had pains in my chest . One of the Detectives went out and brought in tea and chicken sandwiches . " You'll be OK ... " , this was the type of shit they were going on with .
They stayed for a few minutes , did'nt do anything to me , and they left then . Next thing , two more Detectives came in - one that I knew very well and the other I'd never seen before . They continued the interrogation . The one that I knew shouted at me and the other slapped me about the back of the head . That went on for about half an hour or so . The next thing I knew my solicitor was there and they asked me if I wanted to see him . 'Course , I said yes . They brought me downstairs and I met Plunkett Taaffe . Broke down . Broke down in front of him . It was'nt the pain of what happened ; it was the relief of knowing that when Plunkett was there at that stage there was a chance that I would'nt be hit again . He immediately called for a doctor ....... "

Weekly NHL Recap: March 31st – April 6th8
April 7, 2013 11:03 AM by Smash
The trade deadline has come and gone and we're in the middle of a tight playoff push in the Eastern Conference. It's gonna be a fun finish, kids.
On Wednesday, the trade deadline made for some interesting last minute moves. Lets take a look at some of them, shall we?
– Jerome Iginla threw a curveball at the Boston Bruins and the Twittersphere, signing with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
– The Columbus Blue Jackets made what was probably the best move across the League by acquiring Marian Gaborik (along with two prospects) from the Rangers for Derick Bressard, Derek Dorsett, John Moore, and a 6th round draft pick in 2014.
– Ryane Clowe went from the Sharks to the Rangers. After playing 28 games without scoring a goal, Clowe scored 2 in his Rangers debut against the Penguins. Looking like it was a good deal for the Rangers.
– The Senators dealt goaltender Ben Bishop to the Lightning for Cory Conacher, who immediately became the Senators leading scorer…with 9 goals.
-The Canucks proved to the League why big contracts aren't always a great idea. Roberto Luongo didn't move and is still a Canuck…even if he's just a backup.
-The Islanders, even in the middle of a playoff push (something they haven't seen since 2007) sat back and didn't make a single move. GM Garth Snow was quoted as saying: "We had lots of contact with clubs, but I'm confident in group we have. Didn't want to disrupt chemistry we've built." Which for Islanders fans, may not be a bad move for this young team.
Now, onto this playoff picture that's going on. In the West, it's looking more and more clear as to who will continue their seasons into the playoffs. The Blues are currently holding onto the #8 seed with 42 points and have games in hand on all but the Flames (who are out of the picture) in regards to the 9-15 place teams.
In the East, it's a different story. As you can see above, the #5 seed and the #8 seed are only separated by 4 points. The #9 and #10 seeds, Winnipeg and New Jersey, are right in the mix as well. The weak Southeast division has made for some interesting play being that the Jets and Capitals continue to flip-flop first place and #3 seeds with only 40 points. It will be a tight race in the East and the last few spots will be a toss up.
For a breakdown of each teams statistical chances of making the playoffs, see the image below, courtesy of Sportsclubstats.com:
Three Stars of the Week:
3. Justin Williams: 4 GP, 4G, 0A, 4PTS

Now, how is that for shocking? We've never known Microsoft to announce a product before it's ready or slip on a very public schedule… oh wait, that's Apple. Now, writing a new OS must be difficult, but after stripping out several big features (including WinFS, a next gen file system), you'd think that it would have been made easier.
Vista was supposed to ship right before the holiday season and it will now ship in January 2007. Vista's most recent date slip won't come without repercussion. MS has announced a new Windows chief and heads are expected to roll soon.
CNET has a nice roundup of stories regarding the date slippage.
Have to give credit for that title to my cousin Jason, tech geek extraordinaire. His puns and wordplay may only be slightly worse than mine.

Steven Universe Reference: Gem Fusions
SU INFOGRAPHICS - Fusion List | GEM FUSIONS | GEMSTONES | GEMS | HUMANS
Part 3 of my reference list! Links to all reference graphics are in links above.
Most of Images are taken from the Steven Universe Wiki.
NOTE: I'm re-organizing these. It seems that as these Steven Bomb's come out, there's just tons of assets that need to be added. There's only so many images that I can put in a post, so I've decided to separate the original post into two posts, this new one that only contains only fusions, and the original post that contains info about the individual gems. Even though Garnet is a fusion, she's in the GEM graphic link.

Ishq Ka Rang Safed full Written Episode of 6th November 2015:
The episode retains with Ashram contract documents in Dhaani palm which Dasharath offered to her as she walks into the Ashram. She recalls their signatures being taken by Viplav on documents that are empty, subsequently then, and NGO ladies requesting concerning the Ashram region somebody grabbing papers from her palm stating he's Viplav's guy. She evokes Dasharath informing that his grand-son have not done correct. She cries. Music is sung by Dasharath. Kanak performs tune aswell and comes. She claims I'm happy as my boy is likely to be preserved from grabs that are widows'. Dasharath informs her that Viplav requires her to possess patience and visited Ashram. Kanak requires but….Dasharath requires her to hold back.
Dulaari questions what's the issue and questions Dhaani why she's weeping? Dhaani says she's not weeping. Badi Amma inquires what's the issue? Nothing is said by Dhaani. Group Baja sound is heard by them and open the door. Viplav comes with the women in the Ashram and dances. Badi Amma inquires what's the issue? Viplav says I'll tell but I will settle scores with Dhaani. Dhaani says we says you've joked about us, and got to see your Rakshas side. Dhaani says Maayi was correct about you. Viplav asks her to tell what went wrong and says you're doing wrong.
Dhaani says a Rakshas was you and says I'd never have met you, is a Rakshas and will be Rakshas eternally. The door shuts. Tripurari inquires Viplav what occurred? Viplav asks why you consistently meet me outside Ashram. Tripurari asks him to come home and says you're looking tensed. Tripurari says he was given by Dasharath. Viplav tells he does not understand about his error. Badi Amma dissed him and inquires Dhaani, why did you smack him. Dhaani says Viplav was Lala with our enemy, and was deceiving us. Dhaani says he's stolen the documents also. Dulaari says I was yelling from one he is not trustable. She inquires if everybody is happy.
Sita Maayi says it can not be accurate. Dhaani says Viplav needed to get our Ashram. Dulaari wanted to loot us, and says he was a treachery. She says we did not see the documents which Viplav brought, and says the documents have torn in rage. Dhaani says I've seen with my eyes that he was embracing Lala. Dhaani says he says he is not going to get this Ashram and needed to make us feel terrible. Viplav is furious and remembers Dhaani smacking him. Viplav is thought about by Dhaani.
Dulaari asks what occurred and sees all the girls unfortunately sitting? She says my daughter did not do a huge error, as everybody is mad on her. Badi Amma says it's more than a thing that is depressing. She says she can not be incorrect in identifying Viplav. She says Viplav can not betray us. Dhaani says your thinking can not alter. Dhaani says the concealed of a great guy has been worn by Viplav, but he's done. Later she weeps. Dulaari comes to her and sees her weeping. Dhaani embraces her and says she trusted him and made Viplav buddy. Dhaani says as people are poor, they took advantage of him. Dhaani says you told me that he isn't a guy that is good, but I did not concur. Dhaani apologizes for trusting and not believing her. Dhaani weeps and embraces her.
Prakash tells Viplav that he's being Widows's savior what would have occur with them. Viplav is furious, and says let Ashram and Dhaani go to hell.

Last stand in Wakanda as an out-of-control Namor invades this sovereign nation in pursuit of the Avengers! And a shocking truth stands revealed that may cause fractures in the X-Men's alliance!
Great drawn action scenes in this issue. Not the best by far but they are very well drawn. Story, art, and pacing are all done right. Overall, a great balance. Read Full Review
This issue was fantastic. This has been a great event so far and it doesn't seem like we are going to slow down. This just feels worthy of being called an event. Marvel's definitely getting this right. Read Full Review
So, in closing, yes I enjoyed Uncanny X-Men # 16 more so than AVX # 8 this week. AVX was good but it was starting to drag on while Uncanny provided more characterization for the Phoenix Five. Read Full Review
With the tie-in stories focusing on individual battles, skirmishes beyond the main team-on-team fights and repercussions of those battles, this series really feels like it has finally figured out what it wants to be. Unfortunately, like "Fear Itself" before, it just doesn't quite feel as large as its pitch. Nothing's missing; it's just that for a conflict that threatens the very fabric of the universe, there should be more parties invested in the outcome. Adding Wakanda, K'un-Lun and attacking hordes from Atlantis is a nice start, but "Avengers Vs. X-Men" needs more. The stakes are getting higher, so there's no time like the present for more parties to be interested. Read Full Review
A bit old-fashioned, but good clean fun. Nothing wrong with that. Read Full Review
Especially, with Spider-Man being the sole character on the cover of the next issue. It has a last man standing kind of feel and if that is the case, how can Spidey do it alone? Read Full Review
It's not a terrifically smart read, nor is it one that'll take you a lot of time to get through, but it's boatloads of fun and, in the end, isn't that be what reading big Marvel event comics all about? Read Full Review
Art duties are handled by Adam Kubert in this issue and at points the art rivals Coipel's, and at other times appears unsteady. Kubert is a seasoned veteran, there is no doubting his artistic chops, but a couple of very large awkward panels through me a little. Had this issue followed JRJRs work, I would be singing its praises left, right, and center. With Coipel coming before Kubert the bar was raised a little higher than Kubert met with this issue, though I do look forward to seeing more. His layouts are fantastic, this issue flows brilliantly, and the all out brawl with Namor and virtually every Avenger was a fantastic set of pages to behold. In the end, the art is very solid in this issue and there are moments, as with all Kubert books, that are flat out fantastic. I'm hoping the next Kubert issue continues the strong finish in the final pages of this issue. Read Full Review
Avengers Vs. X-Men #8 is a welcome directional shift to the series. Read Full Review
It feels as if we're beginning to see theunravelingof the Phoenix empowered X-Men, as well. Namor's outburst may have proven they're not completely in control of the power they wield. Either way, it looks as if the Avengers are pulling out all the stops. The series is definitely building towards something big. I can only imagine what the conclusion will be like. Read Full Review
This is how detailed and epic an event book should be. You have a solid script, great art and a compelling enough narrative that keeps all of our heroes in a perpetual state of conflict. If you're a Marvel fan this latest issue of AVX is easy to recommend. Read Full Review
In the end, though AvX hit its current peak at the beginning of Act 2, the event is still in a better state than it was in its early months. Issue #8 offers an exciting and action-packed battle. It simply doesn't propel the conflict forward in the way a concluding chapter should. Read Full Review
The stakes have been raised, and allegiances are starting to crumble, and Bendis knows this. A small victory is also a major setback, and we finally get a sense that this is going somewhere. Kubert's art is unsurprisingly epic, making this a visual treat at the very least. Read Full Review
There are only 4 issues left and they should progress in the story, if they want to end this series properly, to give way for their major post-AVX plans. It was an enjoyable read. Can't wait for the last 4 issues. Read Full Review
Now that might just be me wanting to go back to the good old days of X-Men more than considering all of the other elements this story has to resolve but at least AvX finally has me thinking about what this event could change after the dust settles. In a way, AvX feels like it might actually end up being a little bit important after this issue. Read Full Review
I had mixed feelings about this issue. I liked the stuff with Namor fighting everyone, how much it took to take him down and the stuff with Cyclops and Prof X, but the ending seemed weird. It wasn't really a cliffhanger as much as a very abrupt ending... I am wondering how Namor will feel now that he's lost his Phoenix Powers, as well as what the Avengers can hope to do against the even stronger Phoenix Four. And I gotta know what's Prof. X has under his sleeves as well... Read Full Review
Avengers vs. X-Men #8 continues the strong developments we have gotten from Act 2 of Marvel's big event. While things may have started slow things have really picked up steam as the X-Men continue to get stronger and the Avengers lose more hope. The ending does a great job having the Avengers hit their lowest point as now they are the ones to face the adversity that the X-Men have long known. Read Full Review
Who wants to see Namor unleash his Phoenix powers against the Avengers? The fighting is starting to feel more intense as it's past time to take off the kid gloves. We had a turning point when members of the X-Men got a portion of the Phoenix Force. They appeared to be doing good things but Namor's actions could be seen as yet another turning point. We know all this is going to explode but unfortunately that gives the story a feeling of sitting around waiting for it to happen. Adam Kubert's art is great. He has plenty of characters and action to draw. But the art can't carry the entire issue. We know something is coming. There are some developments here. We'll have to wait to see what happens next.It's time for the Avengers to start fighting back. I have a feeling that final fight is going to be something. Read Full Review
Lots of shouting, lots of punching, but not a lot of specificity with Marvel's nuanced characters " that's pretty much Avengers vs. X-Men in a nutshell right now, down to the final boss(es) getting more powerful as the "heroes" press on. The X-Men are definitely coming off as the Redheaded Stepchildren of the Atom here, with no moral equivalency in sight, but if you're a diehard Kubert or Avengers fan, well, at least you've got a pretty fight to look at. Read Full Review
Avengers Vs. X-Men #8 is a good comic with some flaws, not quite up to the best of this series, but still above average in terms of reading enjoyment. Read Full Review
This is why I don't get this comic anymore. They clearly want to paint the X-Men as bad guys and the Avengers as heroes, but it's being forced on us. Marvel controls this story. They are writing it. They planned it out. So why the hell are they being so weak-willed when it comes to the heroes and the villains? Why are the X-Men evil if all they're doing is making the world a better place? Why are the Avengers the good guys when they're only concerned with proving themselves right, where their only plan is to basically murder the PhoeniX-Men? Read Full Review
This issue may be the one I have enjoyed the most in the main series. The whole premise of the event has many flaws, in terms of story and continuity, but when an issue hits that is mostly just fun I find entertainment value. This issue is one of the fun ones. I think picking this one up is a good idea. Read Full Review
Just when the series was picking up, it pulls this s**t. Now watching Namor destroy a country is thrilling, but truth be told, I'm getting a little tired of this series. Written by Jason Aaron, Brian Michael Bendis, Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction & Jonathan Hickman. From Marvel Comics. Read Full Review
This issue is a filler issue and not worth picking up. There is not enough story progression for this issue to be worth four dollars. I say do not pick this issue up! Read Full Review
