Still no camera charger, so I can't show you the handbag I'm making, or the matching corsage (both from Erika Knight's Essential Crochet, seeing as my flatmate gave me the book and the yarn – both deep purple! – at the same time. to put on my coat when I go out with it. I'm really quite happy with both, although there is some finishing up to do. I've bought lining material for the bag, and a friend has offered to sew it all up, so I basically need to decide what to do about a handle for it, and attach a safety pin to the corsage. I did the large size of the pattern for the latter, with a chunky wook (instead of crochet cotton!) so it will perhaps make more of a statement than I meant it to, but I think the pair of items are going to use the two skeins I was given quite well.
There are no visiting teddies here just at the moment, which gives me a few days to sort out charging the camera…
In the meantime, I have been reading a decent amount, although I'm still a couple of weeks behind the book-per-day aim.
276. Foul Play by Tom Palmer
Football fan and wannabe detective who doesn't mind skipping school for a good clue to the current mystery, Danny is basically a good kid who squabbles with his older sister but gets on well with his father. He gets a bit too personally involved with the strange events happening at the local football stadium one night, however…
This book is absolutely calculated to appeal to reluctant boy readers, but it's not bad for all that!
277. Akiva by Rabbi Meir Marcus Lehmann
I said a bit about this book last week, in comparing it to And Rachel Was His Wife. I think the main thing I'd add is that the latter is character driven, while this has imparting information and a point of view as its objective. It's very good for all that.
278. Artist Trading Cards by Leonie Pujol
Maybe when I finish the Masters I could take up ATCs…
279. Graphic Biographies: Martin Luther King Jr by Gary Jeffrey & Chris Forsey
Any other day [than Wednesday – the rest of this post has taken me awhile] I'd ignore the current Politics (with a big 'P' – I don't think one ever can fully ignore small 'p' politics), and focus on the ones discussed in this and the following few books, but I think every (American, but not only) politician who mentions dreams in a speech knows their listeners will think of Martin Luther King Jr (and the 'American Dream' too), and I am pretty sure Barack Obama wouldn't mind that today.
280. Graphic Biographies: Harriet Tubman by Rob Shone & Anita Ganeri
It's rather longer since Harriet Tubman escaped slavery, and helped others both in the journey and the life after slavery. America has had a long struggle towards full equality of all its communities, as has every country out there. I'd be interested to know of some that have really got there, even if only in law. While the explicit (and legal) inequalities Tubman (and King, and Mandela) fought against are now much diminished and more subtle, in many ways that makes them harder to fix.
281. Graphic Biographies: Nelson Mandela by Rob Shone & Neil Reed
So, after all the politics, the series of books is a good one! The graphic story is well told and drawn, and each book has a couple of standard non-fiction style pages before and after it, to give context. I haven't read the ones on entertainers, many of whose stories, like Mandela's, have not come to an end yet.
282. Who Was Mary Seacole? by Paul Harrison
Seacole was a visionary front line nurse. More front-line than Florence Nightingale, and well known in her day.
Still wading through all the books to be discussed in this post by Friday, and today's Sheldon tickled me. (Although it's now got me thinking that I have no good excuse for not having finished the Braille Primer yet…)
283. Natural Disasters: Forest Fires by Laura Purdie Salas
284. Blazing Bush and Forest Fires by Louise and Richard Spilsbury
Yes, these two are on the same topic. Both are good, and I can't decide which one to recommend over the other. The first tends to briefly tell the story of a particular memorable fire in history, and from there give facts, whereas the second gives information and then shows example pictures and tales, so it really depends which approach suits your purpose, taste or child.
285. You Wouldn't Want To Be A Victorian Miner! by John Malam
Quite true, you wouldn't, especially as a child! This is a most informative, well done series. It's also reminded me of a film I saw (on television) as a child, but that I can't find on IMDB. It was about a small mining village in England (or possibly Wales) where the mine was to be modernised, or closed, or something, and the pit ponies were to be killed rather than bringing them back above ground, I think. The local children get very upset about this, and after their protests get them nowhere they go through one of the old unused mine shafts (?) and kidnap the ponies. Being a children's film it all ends happily, of course, with the ponies allowed a field to retire into. I can't remember the title or other details, so if anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it.
286. I Wonder Why Volcanoes Blow Their Tops and other questions about natural disasters by Rosie Greenwood
The focus here (which surprised me) is not volcanoes, but natural disasters, but all are interestingly described, with bright clear pictures.
287. Waiting for Anya by Michael Morpurgo
My plan is to gradually read my way through Morpurgo's canon, because he presents big historical (and other) issues in affecting and enthralling stories that children and adults like. This one is set in a French village on the Spanish border during WWII. The adult men went to fight and many are now prisoners of war, including Jo's father, so the women, children and older or disabled men are getting on with looking after each other and the sheep without them. Apart from this absence the war has stayed away from the village for three years, until a unit of German soldiers is billeted upon them to guard the border, and Jo discovers there are more impacts than he realised.
288. Scarlett by Cathy Cassidy
So, Scarlett is a very troubled twelve-year old who has just been kicked out of her fifth school since her parents split up three years previously. People do seem to recognise that counselling might help, or have helped, but since they only ever threaten her with it (rather than offering it to her) that isn't going to happen. After cycling through living with her mother, her grandmother, her uncle and her mother again, this city girl's latest 'last chance' is to be sent to her father, his new wife and stepdaughter in a cottage in rural Ireland, and she doesn't want to go.
289. My Special Brother by Rena Schiff
Far better than I thought it would be (I have to admit to letting the garish cover put me off over the years), this is the slightly fictionalised story of a 1960s Orthodox Jewish family in New York who buck the expectation that disabled babies will be left at the hospital to go straight into care, and bring their youngest son (who has Downs) home to be a beloved member of the family. Thankfully most of these explicit expectations have now been overcome, and there is ever more provision and support for children and adults with disabilities to receive extensive education and live as productive respected members of the community [although there is a lot more for us all to do] but this family worked their way through the prejudices and ignorance, and then allowed their story to be told to explain things to the rest of us. I'm making it sound very worthy – really it's a good story too.
290. Just Between Friends by Sara Wiederblank
A definite relationships novel, this has four friends in their mid twenties dealing with how their expectations have either not been met, or have been met but still don't entirely satisfy. One of those frustrating (but often frustratingly real) tales where the reader wants to just make the characters sit down and talk to their spouses or other loved ones!
291. Ug: Boy Genius of the Stone Age by Raymond Briggs
Fungus the Bogeyman remains my favourite Briggs protagonist, but this is amusing. I don't think I'd recommend it to anyone who didn't know a bit about the Stone Age already, as most of the story revolves around the anachronisms within our understanding of it.

For those of you that read the previous post in the two hours that it was up I apologise. I took a walk and had a think and decided that stewing in misery isn't what I should be doing.
Good things that have happened:
- Traffic wasn't bad this morning
- I went running last night and I'm not stiff today!
- My ankle (which is still dodgy from the bad sprain 2 years ago) was protesting rather a ot this morning and a very kind person went to her car and got out her first aid kit so I could strap it (thanks!). So there ARE decent people out there!
- Even if Tai Chi kind of sucked on Tuesday, I think it might be better tonight, and it does make me happy...
- Last night my friend walked into the lab, took one look at me and knew EXACTLY what to do (i.e. drinks and potato wedges).
- My supervisor has decided that my emails are worthy of attention and I've heard from him more than once in the last two days (compared to once in the last month). Good to know he's still alive!
- The scary bodybuilders at the gym all smiled and waved to me last night!
- I had an incredibly bad dream last night, but when I woke up and realised it was just a dream it made me feel better about life! So in short, it isn't so bad, at elast I'm not wearing strawberry jam as lipstick which grows of its own accord and covers my face so I look like I dipped my head in oil and lay in the sun!
Anyway, I shold ge tback to work. I'm stuck pretending to be a lab-monkey tomorrow so I'll probably be a bit quiet for the next few days.
Oh and as for the title - a while ago someone told me that I was a perfect example of a cnical optimist... The cloud has a silver lining... which will probably kill you!

So, here is is the tombstone and burial plot of my Great Great Great Grandfather, Claus Schlichtmann. His name and information are inscribed on the front of the monument and his mother, Anna Maria (von Holte-Schlichtmann) Katt, and daughter, Anna Maria (Schlichtmann) Genzer, are both memorialized on the side and back of the monument.
|Claus Schlichtmann, Born Sept. 4, 1831. Died July 5, 1899. A native of Germany
|Claus' daughter, Anna Maria Genzen, Born Sept 14, 1860. Died Feb 3, 1896. A native of Germany
|Claus' mother, Anna Maria von Holte (Schlichtmann) Katt, Born Nov 12, 1802.
Died Jan 17, 1901. A native of Germany.
|Mystery stone, but I think it belongs to Claus' wife, Anna Sophia, or one of his other daughters.
I enjoyed my first "tourist" visit (meaning, not there for a funeral) to the Tracy Public Cemetery, and I'm having fun getting to know my German ancestors. In fact, on my way back home to Oakland that week, I stopped in at the Tracy Area Genealogical Society office and did a little more research into my Schlichtmann and Bruhns families. What a treasure trove! More to come on that soon.

ALBANY — New York's education commissioner told legislators Tuesday he would advocate for a $1.3 billion increase in education aid to help schools that lawmakers portrayed as increasingly stressed by cutbacks and educational mandates.
State Education Commissioner John King Jr. was peppered with questions at a state budget hearing by lawmakers concerned about the rollout of the new Common Core learning standards, potential prekindergarten costs and financially strapped schools.
The hearing came as the New York State Association of School Business Officials released a study showing school districts have lost 10 percent of their professional staff since the start of the recession. The study, which looked at 671 school districts outside the so-called Big 5 city districts, found 261 school districts showed signs of fiscal insolvency and 544 school districts showed signs of being unable to finance adequate long-term student performance.
"I have kids coming to my office telling me they can't take books home" said Sen. Cecilia Tkaczyk, a Democrat who represents a largely rural eastern New York district.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed an $807 million increase in school aid in his budget, far less than many educational advocates are seeking for the state budget due April 1. King and the Board of Regents are recommending a $1.3 billion increase.
"We will strongly advocate for that over the next few weeks," King said.
King also told lawmakers that statewide full-day prekindergarten would cost roughly $1.6 billion a year, which would be far more than the $500 million a year Cuomo would budget for once the program is fully rolled out after five years.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is pushing for a small increase in the tax rates on wealthier New York City residents to cover an estimated $340 million annual pre-K cost citywide. Cuomo wants to fund pre-K statewide with existing money in the budget.
King continued to take heat over the rollout of the more rigorous Common Core standards. Lawmakers said parents and educators are frustrated by what they consider poorly planned and overly rushed changes to the curriculum.
The commissioner acknowledged that implementation of the standards has been imperfect, but again stressed the need for Common Core.
"I don't think it makes sense to go backward and to retreat from the idea that students should be writing more, that students should be reading more," he said.
NY education chief says he will press for aid

Earbuds can create a havoc!
My child has been having tremendous pain in her ear for the past few days. I thought it was just water retaining inside her ear because she's always in the pool. Then she was sent home from her kindergarten because she was in a lot of pain and was crying because of that. I had taken her to an ear and hearing specialist here in London and he found that she had a good amount of wax in her ears. It was mainly due to earwax removal practice at home. It was something we all practiced at home. She used to always use cotton swabs right after her bath and this apparently pushed all the earwax deeper thus creating a blockage. I never really knew about cotton swabs creating such a problem. I always thought earwax was like dirt but in fact, it is very vital for our ears. It protects our ears from dust and other foreign matter. I only got to know this when I visited the doctor. I just wanted to share this with all of you out there who still use cotton swabs/pins to clean your ears every now and then. Please do not use them as it is very bad for your ears and it could even cause temporary hearing loss. Do take great caution while cleaning your ears. Hope I could help at least some of you. Good day everyone.

I read something about that quite recently in the mainstream press - can't remember where. Thanks!

NEW – 2/2/14 – We have added a new updated blog post on this topic with downloadable sample letters.
My original blog post – Partnership Late Filing Penalty Abatement – is one of the most popular articles here on PDXCPA, and that is due the fact that the IRS has become more and more agressive in assessing this penalty over the years. In fact, last year I encountered some new problems in requesting abatement of these penalties, so an update on the subject is well overdue.
- First off, the base penalty amount has been increased to $195, so if you have a number of partners or members, this has become a very substantial penalty that seems to far outweigh the offense.
- The IRS has been denying the standard abatement letters using Revenue Procedure 84-35 – especially for clients that have requested abatement several years in a row. In priors years, the abatement had been fairly automatic, but last year they fought very hard in some cases to keep the penalties in place.
- In talking to fellow tax practitioners from TaxQueries.com, I found that I was not being singled out by the IRS and that many others had received similar letters denying abatement and citing new arguments never raised before.
- The most common new argument I encountered was that the IRS claimed that they could not consider our request for penalty waiver under Rev Proc 84-35 because their records indicated that the partnership elected to be subject to the consolidated audit procedures under IRC 6221 through IRC 6233. Upon further inquiry, the IRS claimed that a TEFRA election (Form 8893) was filed in a prior year – usually about 10 years prior.
- The IRS agents were very uncooperative with providing me with additional information, and they simply stated they would have to request a copy of the return from their records department.
- Fortunately, my clients keep very good records and we pulled up copies of the return that the IRS claimed had a TEFRA election. Sure enough, the return did not include Form 8893 or any other elections with regard to TEFRA. After a lengthy phone call, they finally agree to abate the penalties if I faxed them a copy of the complete tax return in question.
- In talking with the agent, I found that they had been trained on some new procedures earlier in the year, and the TEFRA election was something they were looking at on all abatement requests. In this case, their records were simply incorrect regarding the TEFRA election, but had I not had a copy of the 10 year old return to prove that it was an error, the IRS might not have been willing to abate the penalty – especially since their records department had taken over a month without finding the return.
Over the next few months, the 2011 batch of late filing penalty letters will be mailed out, so it is important to be aware of some of these new tactics being employed by the IRS. The standard abatement letter using Rev. Proc. 84-35 is something any business owner can prepare and send to the IRS in response to an initial late filing penalty letter. However, if you get a denial letter citing a TEFRA election or another similar reason, make sure you engage a tax professional or lawyer to fight the IRS for you. The IRS is no longer rolling over when they get abatement letters, so be prepared.

Review With a glossy upper and matt finish lower halves there's a two tone look to this receiver, the cheapest on test, but certainly not lacking in HDMI connectivity. There six inputs in total (five on the back, one on the front), and unusually it also has two HDMI outputs, so you can have both video and audio in a second zone – an option you'd normally expect only on a more expensive device.
The RX-V767 uses Yamaha's own YPAO speaker optimisation system which slightly simpler but easier to set up than the Audyssey alternative used by Denon, Marantz and Onkyo. The unit carries the full range of HDMI 1.4 specifications, including audio return channel and standby pass-through, as well as being 3D-capable.
HD audio formats Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio are present but there's no support for the Pro Logic IIx which most other new receivers in this range have – only a loss if you really need those extra height channels however.
The graphical UI is a cut above its rivals, with a neatly laid-out and easy to follow layout which lies on top of whatever you're watching – definitely more enjoyable to use than the functional diagrams on display elsewhere. The remote is extremely busy though, with a bewildering array of similarly sized buttons, so it takes a little getting used to.
Sadly, there's no USB digital connection for iPod/iPhone – for that you'll need to buy Yamaha Universal Dock. Sound performance is top notch though, perhaps a little 'warmer' than, say, the Pioneer, but to these ears that's a plus that rewards extended listening. ®

The Duck House is the home office of Democracy Unlimited and home for some of our staff and our interns. Our house is not open to the public, but we do hold events here for our members and volunteers.
The Duck House is an old Victorian farm house. We have several pets who share the house with us - our dog Annie, two cats Sebastian and Luchadora, two beehives, ten chickens, and of course, two ducks - Alice and Wendy, named after two of our favorite friends and volunteers.
We've spent time cultivating garden space and fruit trees in our back yard. On the 14th Street side of our house we have a 2,500 gallon water tank that catches rainwater from our roof in the rainy months to water our garden in the dry months of summer. The City of Eureka granted us a variance for our project because it does not meet setback requirements from the street, but it was the optimal location for the tank. The system was designed and installed by Nicole Vincent for an HSU class. Check out appropedia.org for more information about our system and the documentation of her project.
We have a compost pile and two worm bins and our landscaping is either edible or functional - the redwood trees on the north side of the house provide a windbreak, and the flowers provide food and habitat for our honey bees and native bees as well.
We take great pride in our home, both as a personal space that provides for us, but also as a community space -- whether it is for our DUHC community or our neighbors around us.
If you would like to visit us, please schedule an appointment.

- 1 Little Gem lettuce, shredded
- 148ml low-fat natural yogurt tub
Toss the chicken with the lime zest and juice, pepper, oil and a little salt. Cook on a griddle pan or barbecue for 6-8 mins, turning until evenly cooked and nicely browned.
Heat the tortillas in the microwave, following pack instructions. Spread a little guacamole over each tortilla, top with some lettuce and chicken, then drizzle over the yogurt. Roll up and enjoy.

the boyfriend enjoyed this and had the leftover chicken and salad for his lunch the next day. we added tomatoes - i'd obviously based my shopping list on the picture rather than the recipe! - but were let down by our shop-bought guacamole. would maybe try again with a home-made guacamole or just some avocado.

Seven-year-old Phoenix Weaver is breathing easier these days. A car accident two years ago in her home town of Nixa, Missouri left her paralyzed from the neck down. She uses a wheelchair. Until a few weeks ago, she needed a ventilator 24-hours a day to help her breathe.
Recently, Phoenix became the first patient at St. Louis Children's Hospital to receive a 'breathing pacemaker.' Much like traditional pacemakers help jump start the heart, Phoenix's breathing pacemaker stimulates her diaphragm, which is the muscle that controls breathing.
"The hope would be for Phoenix to be able to come off the ventilator long enough to go to school or participate in some normal activities without always needing to carry around - and be hooked up to - the equipment associated with a ventilator," says Dr. Charles Huddleston, the cardiothoracic surgeon who implanted Phoenix's pacemaker.
Phoenix needs to learn the use the pacemaker gradually. Every day, nurses conduct trials, where they disconnect the ventilator for increasing time intervals, allowing Phoenix to get used to the sensation of once again breathing on her own.
At first, Phoenix struggled to withstand more than one minute off the ventilator. But one month after her first trials, she was already breathing freely for up to 5 hours and 45 minutes.
"We're all about anything that can make things better for her and she's always been a little bit of a trailblazer," says Cassie Whatley, Phoenix's mom.

AN Islamic scholar and community cohesion leader has launched a bid to become the next big sci-fi writer.
As well as juggling work as the principal officer at Building Bridges in Burnley, with family life and his commitment to his faith Nasrullah Anwar, 32, spends lunchtimes, evenings and any free time crafting his science fiction novels.
And after more than a 15 year's of work Nasrullah, from Great Harwood, has produced his first 80,000 word manuscript that he is trying to get published.
Nasrullah, who writes under his pseudonym Noor A Jhangir, has written The Changling King and is trying to secure a deal with an American publishing house after he was turned down by British publishers.
And he is currently getting tips from American sci-fi fantasy writers such as Raymond Feist.
The Changling King has a few main characters including a boy called Nathan and a group of his friends as well as a Mogul prince who are fighting to get back to Earth after they are transported to another alien world while aliens are on earth trying to stop Nathan's brother Adam.
Nasrullah, who has also stood in as an Imam, said: "I have a day job that I am passionate about but I write after my wife has gone to sleep. I burn the midnight oil.
"My wife is very supportive and thinks about spending my advance and parents have never stopped believing in me.
"My Islamic teachers didn't want me to write but the principal encouraged me to keep at it."
Nasrullah was first inspired to write after his primary school teacher Christine Bracewell at the then Western County Primary School in Great Harwood read CS Lewis's Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe aged seven.
Nasrullah is now a governor at the school which has become Great Harwood Primary.
He continued reading and writing when he attended an Islamic boarding school in Bury as there were no televisions and the boys would want to listen to football on the radio.
Nasrullah said he will start attending science fiction conventions to prmote his work and is already working on his next manuscript.
Nasrullah added: "The point of fiction is like parables they are trying to tell people about a universal truth and how people deal with situations "People are surprised by the book and quite excited by it.
"Although it is science fiction it is about cohesion.
"If Asian and non-Asian people pick up the book it can be read across the board.
"I am and will keep fighting to get this publish and people who give up don't get published."

Interracial Marriage
Interracial Marriage
Is It Ok?
Seeing that our new president is the product of an interracial relationship questions about the subject have once again come to the forefront. Whether you speak from a Christian or secular viewpoint, I want your input; so feel free to leave a comment.
"Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." Jude 1:7
Most, if not all commentators suggest that "strange flesh" really means "same sex." In these last days, there sure is a lot of that going on. But is that what the writer meant? If we had no more to go on that the names Sodom and Gomorrha, that's certainly a conclusion you would come to. However, according to Webster's 1828 Dictionary "Strange" means (1.) Foreign; belonging to another country.
I'm no Greek scholar, but I did look up the term on my computer. Strong says "strange" comes from the Greek term heteros (as in heterosexual). A form of that word, meaning "other" or "different," appears nearly 100 times. Now, I said it came from heteros but the exact form of the word in Jude 1:7 ("strange flesh") is heteras which occurs only twice. The only other place is found in Heb 7:13 – "For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar."
I would also like to point out all the warnings the Book of Proverbs gives concerning "strange women." (Pr 2:16; 5:3,20; 6:24; 7:5; 20:16; 23:27; 27:13) I'm aware of the spiritual application there, but I certainly wouldn't fault a person for applying it literally and not "spiritualizing" it.
I know this topic is highly controversial and that is why I posted it. Men and women from both sides of this issue are seeking help and spiritual guidance on this issue. For that reason I speak plainly.
I do not know whether God is always opposed to Gentiles marrying outside of their respective races. I know it would be sin for me. If I came home with a Nubian Goddess, mom and dad would have a heart attack and needless to say, that would go against Matthew 19:19 "Honour thy father and thy mother…"
But Interracial or not, a couple who won't honor God and their parents during the courtship, has no reason to expect the blessings of God during their marriage.
For those on the fence, I would have to advise you to marry within your own race because, frankly, we live in a cruel world. Even among churchgoing folk, racial bigotry and stereotypes run rampant.
But if you're already married interracially, don't let the devil beat you up about it. No, you won't be accepted everywhere and that's just a fact you will have to live with. But I promise you one thing; God's people will love you.
I'm looking forward to any comments on the subject and especially on Jude 1:7.
"We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren…" (1John 3:14)

Once again, Thank You Jyoti and Visas Avenue for all your support.

Visas Avenue handled my application for Australian PR successfully. They are good in knowledge, well versed with the current procedure. Special Thanks to Mrigya Shah and Arpita Saha, they both were polite, professional and always gave answer to all my queries which helped me in managing the stress during the application process.
Yogesh Gupta
Visas Avenue proven to be good consultant when it s regarding processing my Canadian pr. To me they were professional and I'm completely satisfied with the accountability they have shown in my case and follow ups they did for me. Rajeshwari.V is my Case Manager for Canada and she did an excellent job in explaining me the whole process/ documents needed and how/where to get them. Finally i got my pr exactly on/before the expected processing time. I knew the whole process and yet I took help of visas avenue as I wanted professionals to fail-proof my application and make sure it cause no extra unnecessary delays and that's exactly what I got for them. Definitely recommended..!!
Mr. Lenin Reddy
If you are looking for a Visa company who is fast, organized and very detailed oriented then you should get in touch with Visas Avenue Pvt. Ltd. Shivangi Arora was my case manager and she has a very good knowledge of the process. She was very prompt and diligent, she made sure that all the documents are provided on time so that the Immigration doesn t ask for anything at a later stage. I am really happy with their work as I have got my Australian PR because of them which is like a dream come true with 50 bands in each module in PTE test. I would definitely recommend them to all my friends and relatives who are looking forward for their visa processing. Keep doing the good job and making lives!!
Varun Khandelwal
I have been the client of Visas Avenue from past 1.5 years now and recently received the approval for Permanent Residency (PR) Canada. I must say that they are the finest bunch of dedicated professionals and probably the best in their domain. I visited them after receiving positive feedback from few of my friends & known. And I must say that I found their services exactly the same as I heard from my references.I was especially impressed by the way; my case manager (Ms Ruchika Sharma) went an extra mile whenever I asked her for help at every step, may it be related to the documents required, answering queries, LOI, online procedures, payments, etc.My Case officer & other support executives (Ms. Surbhi) were extremely helpful & professional throughout the visa process. At one point of time post many IELTS attempts I was unable to score CLB 9 & thereafter planned to drop the idea of immigrating to Canada but my case manager: Ms Ruchika Sharma was quite positive to convince me & gave vital advise to apply for Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). In fact, she did it on my behalf and fortunately, I was nominated from the Ontario Province of Canada. It made my road to Canada lot easier as I subsequently, got Invite to apply for Canada PR, which wouldn't have been possible without the sincere efforts of this hardworking professional team @ Visas Avenue. Thanks for making my wish come true.Best of Luck !!
Pranav Malhotra
Visas Avenue had to be the pathway I had to chose to sail through my PR process for Canada. I visited many agencies and with the way my initial queries were satisfactorily handled, I decided to move forward with their help. It has been a long journey and they have been thoroughly helpful and supportive in each and every phase of this process. Special Thanks to Gaurav Sharma - I disturbed him a lot with tons of millions of queries and doubts, but he remained calm, cooperative and fully knowledgeable to help me understand every nitty-gritty of the process. I will not hesitate in recommending Visas Avenue to any of my friends or acquaintances who wishes to apply for Canada PR application. Many Thanks once again Gaurav for your incredible support.
Harman Kumar
Very Professional Consultancy, which has actual meaningful escalation Matrix system for customers too. Without them I won t have been able to get PR simply because they put lots of effort for my PNP nomination. Special mentions to Mrigya Shah & Arpita Saha for their knowledgeable support, professional communication, support and efforts. Thanks a lot.

It's a war of words (or Tweets) between actor Ashton Kutcher and The Village Voice.
Following the publication of an article called "Real Men Get Their Facts Straight," in which reporters Martin Cizmar, Ellis Conklin, and Kristen Hinman take Kutcher and wife Demi Moore to task over alleged misinformation being spread through their "Real Men Don't Buy Girls" anti-sex trafficking campaign, a bitter back and forth erupted.
The campaign, launched last year, features a number of PSAs aimed at bringing to light the sex slave epidemic - starring celebrities such as Kutcher, Justin Timberlake, and Sean Penn doing humorously "manly" things like refusing to do laundry or ask for directions.
U.S. & World
The Voice article had less of an issue with the odd tone of the PSAs (many have criticized Kutcher and Moore's attempts to tackle such a serious issue with flippant ads - the Voice says they "reek of frat boy humor") as it does with the facts and figures the celebrity couple have been throwing around.
In the article, Cizmar, Conklin, and Hinman claim that the "100,000 to 300,000 children fall into prostitution every year in America" soundbite is simply untrue, and is not based on any actual research.
"There are not 100,000 to 300,000 children in America turning to prostitution every year," they write. "The statistic was hatched without regard to science. It is a bogeyman."
Kutcher immediately took offense, hitting his influential Twitter page to lambast the Voice for both the article as well as the newspaper's association with Backpage.com, which offers ads for escort services.
"hey @villagevoice hows that lawsuit from the 15 year old victim who alleges you helped enslave them going?" Tweeted Kutcher, referring to a female prostitute who sued the Voice claiming that Backpage allowed her to be easily exploited.
"hey @villagevoice speaking of data, maybe you can help me...How much $ did your "escorts" in your classifieds on backpage make last year?", he continued.
Kutcher then wrote: "I'm just getting started!!!!!!! BTW I only PLAYED stupid on TV."
The Voice responded with a link to the article online accompanied by the question "Hey Ashton, which part of this story is inaccurate?"
And on and on...

Full-Screen Dialog
Recently I have taken part in a project. I developed a dialog based full-screen program. When the application is activated it sets the work area of the primary display monitor to the full screen, saves current screen settings and then switches to 800x600x(Maximal available number of colors) mode, hides Windows Taskbar and opens its dialog in full screen. Being deactivated it restores the previous display settings. For this purpose I made CFullScreenDlg class derived from MFC CDialog and added all necessary functionality to it.
Step 1: Create new dialog based project by using MFC AppWizard.
Step 2: Set the project's dialog to the size, in pixels, you want the visible screen area to change to.
Step 3: Derive your dialog C++ class from CFullScreenDlg. Be sure that you have added an include statement for CFullScreenDlg class definition.
That is all. Now you could compile your project and try out how the program behaves. Use Ctrl-Esc and Alt-Tab keyboard shortcuts to see how it behaves being activated and deactivated.

- Paperback: 135 pages
- Publisher: IVP Academic (September 2012)
- Amazon
- Christianbook.com
Author Michael Reeves tackles what is perhaps at once the most familiar, most complex, and even the most puzzling Christian doctrine: the Trinity.
He begins by acknowledging that even the words "God is a Trinity" evoke stiffness, a dogma that seems irrelevant. In contrast, he points out, "God is love" brings out warm feelings, something most can relate to, and want to.
And then he says it: "God is love because God is a Trinity."
Reeves states his overall theme early: "Christianity is not primarily about lifestyle change; it is about knowing God." And this current flows through the book. What is this God like who invites us to know Him? And what difference does it make that He is a triune God rather than a single-person god?
Comparing the Lord God of Israel to single-person deities is one of the most interesting aspects of Reeves's work. It is true that because we are used to fitting "God" into our own expectations, the idea of "Trinity" or a "triune" being is awkward at best. We prefer the single-person deity as an entity much easier to understand. Yet a comparison of other gods and the Lord God of Israel reveals some widely differing beings.
For example, according to the Qur'an, Allah "begets not, nor is he begotten"—a strikingly different being than one we know as Father. And God couldn't be a Father without having offspring.
Marduk, in Babylon's creation story, creates human beings so he and the other gods can have servants to rule over. Reeves invites readers to take this further. If a god is a solitary being, he has no one to love (in contrast to God the Father, who was loving the Son before creation); he can love himself, but that's a selfish love. A single-person god must, by his essence, be all about self-gratification. How could a solitary deity be loving when love involves another? Remember that the Son in the Trinity came to serve others, to give up His live for many.
Reeves turns to Aristotle's god. If being good involves being good to another, how can a solitary god be good when there is no one to show goodness to? Aristotle determines that the universe exists right alongside God, so he gives his goodness to it. But Reeves concludes that this reasoning means that for God to be himself, he needs the world. He's dependent on it to be who he is; this god of Aristotle's is good, but not necessarily loving.
If at this point you're reminded of your freshman introduction to philosophy class, I encourage you to stay with it. Reeves is making the point that before creation, our triune God was neither lonely nor in need of gratification, for He was eternally loving His Son in the Spirit.
Since in a single-person god system, the god would have created beings in order to rule over and be served by them, sin would thus be about behaving and acting wrong. A single-person god might offer forgiveness, but not make us his children (because he wouldn't be a father). This god's beings might live under his protection, but he wouldn't offer closeness.
The author returns to Allah, a single-person god. His only "companion" in heaven is a book, the Qur'an. This is a book, a word that is about him, just a thing. In contrast is our triune God—and this is a lovely truth beautifully expressed by Reeves—who gave us His Word, which is His very self: In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He didn't just drop a book from heaven, He came Himself. So the Father sends the Son, the Son makes the Father known, and the Spirit makes the Son known through Spirit-breathed Scriptures.
God invites us to know and love Him, not just live under His rule; if He did, then only outward behavior would matter. And because it is not outward behavior that is the problem, but what we desire—usually ourselves—the Spirit gives us new hearts.
Reeves continues on the theme of knowing this God who is bursting with fullness and sharing and fellowship, and asks who could prefer a leaner, stripped-down version, i.e., the single-person variety who offers a dull version of religion. And later in the book he reflects on the type of God he'd want to emulate. Would it be a self-contemplative one like Aristotle's? a cruel deity? Or a triune God to whom love and relationship are central to His being?
The author comments on Jesus' prayer in John 17 in which He requests that His followers "may be one as we are one." What is oneness? To a single-person god such as Allah, oneness means sameness. He says, "the once diverse cultures of Nigeria, Persia, and Indonesia are made, deliberately and increasingly, the same." But oneness for the triune God means unity. Jesus is praying that His followers be united, but not all the same.
I'm not sure I agree with this contention, but it's an interesting point.
Reeves's explanation of God's wrath is one of the best I've read. He says that prior to creation, when the Father was loving the Son, He was never angry—there was nothing to be angry about until Adam and Eve sinned. Anger toward evil is how a God who is love responds to evil: because evil harms us, the created beings He loves, responding with anger is the only possible way He can respond. Most explanations of the wrath of God start and end with His holiness (which isn't wrong), but this one looks at it from the aspect of God's love.
The author touches upon the evergreen topic of those who just don't believe in any god, but believes that the antitheists' problem is not with the existence of a god, but with the character of the god they presume. He said that those who don't believe often describe the deity they don't believe in as cold, selfish, greedy. And, Reeves allows, "if God is not a Father, if he has no Son and will have no children, then he must be lonely, distant, and unapproachable; if he is not triune and so essentially unloving, then no God at all just looks better."
A book titled Delighting in the Trinity must by its essence be a little ethereal; after all, no one can physically see these beings. And is such a discussion useful, or is it just something Christians talk about over coffee or in conjunction with that intro to philosophy class? Does it matter? Let's consider the book's subtitle: An Introduction to the Christian Faith. Interesting. Different. Intriguing. Not a book about doctrine per se, but a true introduction to what makes Christianity different from any other belief system: its triune God.
For the very bones of the Christian faith are the greatest commandments: Love God and love your neighbor. These suit a triune God and His outreach to us, His sharing of Himself. It makes becoming like such a God a "warm, attractive, delightful thing."
I recommend this book without qualification. I didn't agree with all of the author's conclusions, nor was I easily able to follow everything he wrote, but his contentions are well expressed, and his treatment fresh.
