"Couldn't fault it"
Had a wonderful New Years stay here. The facilities were excellent and the cottage was lovely - just as described. Highly recommend a trip to the leisure club, sitting in the sauna and looking over the hills was a treat indeed.

– Last night's edition of iMPACT! Wrestling drew 1.09 million viewers, down a huge 30% from last week's 1.42 million. The number is the lowest for Impact since the November 28th (Thanksgiving) show drew 921,000. The 18 – 49 demographic rating wasn't available.
The main event saw Magnus retain his world title against Gunner. This is about the rating that TNA is usually getting, but the good news is that the number is not decreasing and some weeks it's increasing.
WWE needs completion and if that void is filled by TNA, then so be it. TNA has good and some bad, but WWE does as well. Something are simply head spinning stupid by TNA, but also WWE as well. I would recommend checking out TNA and see if you like it.
Here are the results from the show:
- Samoa Joe Def. Bro-Mans & Zema Ion
- Street Fight: Gail Kim Def. Madison Rayne
- The Wolves Def. Bad Influence
- TNA World Championship No DQ Match: Magnus (c ) Def. Gunner
The show aired from Manchester, England and continued to build towards Lockdown PPV which is in March.
– Speaking of TNA Lockdown, here is the current line up for the show:
- STEEL CAGE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: Magnus (c) vs. Samoa Joe
- STEEL CAGE LETHAL LOCKDOWN: Team MVP (MVP & TBA) vs. Team Dixie (Bobby Roode & TBA)
- STEEL CAGE KNOCKOUTS CHAMPIONSHIP" Madison Rayne (c) vs. Gail Kim
We will have live coverage of this event when it airs live on PPV. TNA official website has more info about the event.

LED bulbs are great...no radiation, no heat to speak of and very efficient.IF Obie wanted to be useful and I seriously doubt he gives a crap, he could take tons of cash from his stash and subsidize purchase of them...his stash is his PERSONAL money, NOT ours!

This type of illumination has been used in commercial buildings for over 50 years. Anyone who works inside a non residential building, is exposed to florescent light all day.

Yes, #1, LED´s are the future. The idiots who initially mandated bulb changes enacted legislation that didn´t have the tech to back it up. LED´s will save their sorry arses. At this point, the best reviews are going to Home Depot´s Cree LED bulbs (disclaimer: I have no affiliation with HD). Buy just one and see if Cree bulbs are as good as I say.

I have a stash of regulars in the attic, in hopes that they last until CFLs are driven out of the market. Hate them and their creepy light, and the health concerns about them were noted years ago but completely ignored.

LED´s are great bulbs, but somewhat harsh. I bought every regular I could find at garage sales when this all started. I´m stocked up for the next 30 years.Next up a giant government approved bird killing wind farm in my back yard. Got to keep the computers running.

CFL bulbs are OK for closets and garages only. I don´t like LED´s either. Harsh is the word as poster 6 said. I also have a lifetime stockpile of incandescents. If big government police monitor energy use to detect the presence of incandescents, to them I´ll say Molon Labe, in respect to lightbulbs, of course.

#´s 6&7, buy one "soft" Cree, not "daylight" and see. LED´s will only get better and cost less. A side benefit -- the heat from incandescent bulbs is very hard on the switches of regularly-on table lights we use. I have to replace the switches every few years, now they´ll last forever with LED´s.

But do they provide enough heat to keep the pump house from freezing?

#3 and #8, I agree about Cree light bulbs. I have been buying them at Home Depot, and have had no problems with them at all. I especially like that they come on at full brightness, unlike CFL´s, which often need a warm-up period.I have noticed that the price of the Cree lightbulbs is coming down. They´re also great because they fit in any fixture where a regular incandescent bulb would have fit.Because they use so little wattage, we were able to put much brighter bulbs in some old low-wattage rated fixtures in the basement. Big improvement in brightness with no rewiring.Because the Cree LED bulbs don´t give off signficant heat, we can use the lamp near the thermostat in the winter again!

I had one CFL bulb and I put it on my enclosed porch light. My security cam could barely see what was on the porch, much less be able to identify a prowler. Took the bulb out, put a 60 watt regular bulb in and I can see everything on the porch. Don´t tell me CFL´s are better.Don´t have a Home Depot here, I´ll have to check Lowes and see if they have the Cree bulbs.

Sounds like junk science to excite ignorant. I notice they did not present one numerical value to back up their assertions.Ok -- you one of the hopelessly paranoid of the world? You don´t like CFL´s? Fine, go buy halogens. Yes, they ARE incandescent light!!Oh, the way, knee jerking paranoids, if you´ve been working in any modern office or factory you´ve been working under flourescent lights.

If you don´t have a Home Depot nearby ( they seem to be the exclusive retailer) check eBay. That´s where I have been buying mine.

Penal Code 476 PC is California's check fraud law. You commit check fraud when you make, use or possess...or attempt to make or use...a check when you
- intend to defraud the payee, and
- reveal that intent by representing the check to be genuine.1
Examples of check fraud include (but are not limited to):
- forging the name of the payor,
- changing the dollar amount on the check, or
- generating a fake check.
Some of the most common legal defenses that apply to a PC 476 charge include
- you didn't intend to commit a fraud,
- you aren't the person who actually committed the fraud, and
- you had consent to make alterations to the check.
Penal Code 476 PC California's check fraud law is a wobbler. This means that prosecutors could file the charge as either a misdemeanor or a felony.
If you are convicted of the misdemeanor, you face:
- up to one year in a county jail, and
- a maximum $1,000 fine.
If you are convicted of the felony, you face:
- 16 months, or two or three years in county jail, and
- a maximum $10,000 fine.2
Below, our California criminal defense attorneys3 explain California's check fraud law...and the applicable defenses to this law...by addressing the following:
1. What is Check Fraud?
2. Legal Defenses to Penal Code 476 PC
2.1. You lacked fraudulent intent
2.2. You had consent to alter the check
3. Penalties, Punishment and Sentencing
4. Related Offenses
4.1. Penal Code 476a PC California's bad checks law
4.2. Penal Code 470 PC California's forgery laws
4.3. Penal Code 487 PC California's grand theft law
If, after reading this article, you would like more information, we invite you to contact us at Shouse Law Group.
You may also find helpful information in our related articles on Penal Code 476a PC California's Bad Checks Law; California Fraud Offenses; Penal Code 470 PC California's Forgery Law; California's Theft Offenses; Penal Code 487 PC California's Grand Theft Law; California's Petty Theft Law; California Wobblers; California Misdemeanor Charges; California Felony Charges; and California Legal Defenses.
1. What is Check Fraud?
Penal Code 476 PC prohibits check fraud. Simply put, you commit check fraud when you:
- make,
- write,
- pass,
- possess,
- attempt to make,
- attempt to write, or
- attempt to pass,
a fake, altered, or forged check in order to obtain cash, property or services with fraudulent intent.4
Check fraud is a violation of the broader category of California's fraud offenses and is punished as a crime of forgery.
In order to convict you of this offense, the prosecutor must first prove each of the following facts (otherwise known as "elements" of the crime):
- you made, passed or possessed...or attempted to make or pass...
- a fictitious (that is, "fake") or altered check,
- knowing that it was fictitious or altered, and
- intended to defraud a person/entity by
- representing that the check was genuine.5
Let's take a closer look at some of these terms and phrases to gain a better understanding of their legal definitions.
A fictitious check is one that is fake...plain and simple. This would include, for example, a check drawn from a non-existent bank or one endorsed by a person who doesn't exist.
Example: Robert creates computer generated checks then attempts to cash one at the grocery store. The manager runs the check through the computer, and the account comes up "closed". He tells Robert that they cannot cash the check. The police arrest Robert, and the prosecutor charges him with California Penal Code 476 check fraud.
As the court explains, "The checks were drawn on a bank in existence...they were signed by an existing person...and the defendant had an account at the bank, albeit the account was closed. Had defendant's account not been closed and had the account contained sufficient funds...[the checks would have been] legally negotiable. The closing of the defendant's account did not change the character of these checks, rather it simply rendered them uncollectible...In sum, because the checks were genuine rather than fictitious, their utterance or possession, although prohibited by other statutes, was not prohibited by [California Penal Code] section 476."6
You "alter" a check when you add to, erase or change part of the check that
- causes it to appear different from its original form, and
- changes its apparent legal effect.7
Examples of altered checks include (but are not limited to):
- changing the dollar amount (for example, taking a check that is made out for $100 and altering it to read $1000)
- changing the date on a check (for example, "bumping" up the date on a post-dated check)
- changing the routing number or check number
You intend to defraud if you intend to deceive another person out of money or other property.8
What's important to understand here is that it doesn't matter whether anyone actually suffered a loss or was defrauded. The only issue with respect to check fraud is your intent. As long as you intended to secure an unlawful or unfair gain the result is irrelevant.9
1.4. Representing the check as genuine
This issue -- representing the check as genuine -- is at the heart of an intent to defraud. If you make or use -- or attempt to make or use -- a fictitious or altered check by presenting it as if it is a real, genuine check, you may be convicted of this offense.
And as Ventura criminal defense attorney Darrell York10 explains, "Your representation that a check is genuine may be made by words or conduct and may be direct or indirect.11 You basically make this representation any time you attempt to use a fake or altered check. As a result, this is the easiest element for the prosecution to prove."
2. Legal Defenses to Penal Code 476 PC
There are a number of California legal defenses that apply to Penal Code 476 PC check fraud. The following are examples of some of the most common that a skilled California criminal defense lawyer could present on your behalf:
As is the case with any California fraud offense, if you don't intent to commit a fraud, you aren't guilty of fraud - period. This means that if, for example, you make a fake check out to yourself for $1,000,000 -- but have no intention of trying to use or cash it -- you are not guilty of this offense.
Or let's say that you did pass a fake or altered check but did not realize you were doing so. For example, someone owes you money and gives you a fake check to pay you. You then try to cash it and are arrested for attempting to pass a fake check. If you are not the one who made the check -- and you had no reason to believe that the check was not genuine -- you are not guilty of this offense.
Let's say that you did, in fact, alter a check by either changing the name of the payee or the amount on the check or that you signed someone else's name on the check. If you had permission to make the alteration...or to sign the other person's name...by the person who had the authority to grant that permission, you haven't violated the law.
2.3. You were the victim of mistaken identity
This defense plays into the example listed above in Section 2.1. If, for example, you attempted to pass a fake or altered check that someone else had made or altered...and you didn't realize that this was the case...you are not the party who should be penalized.
The person who made or altered the check is the true culprit, yet you are the one facing charges for the crime. The good news is that our firm's experience as former police investigators and prosecutors equips us with the skills and knowledge that are necessary to resolve these types of unfortunate incidents. If you are falsely accused and/or the victim of mistaken identity, a good California criminal defense lawyer will investigate and expose the injustice.
3. Penalties, Punishment and Sentencing
California check fraud is a specific type of forgery and is punished under California's forgery laws. Forgery...and therefore check fraud...is what's known as a California wobbler. A "wobbler" is a crime that prosecutors can file as either a misdemeanor or a felony depending on
- the facts of the case, and
- your criminal history.
If you are convicted of the California misdemeanor charge you face:
- up to one year in a county jail, and
- a maximum $1,000 fine.
If you are convicted of the California felony charge, you face:
- probation and up to one year in the county jail, or
- 16 months or two or three years in county jail, and/or
- a maximum $10,000 fine.12
4. Related Offenses
There are a variety of other California crimes that are closely related to California's check fraud law either because they are filed in connection with or in lieu of Penal Code 476 PC. The following are the most common.
4.1 Penal Code 476a PC California's "bad checks" law
You violate Penal Code 476a California's "bad checks" law by
- writing and/or passing a check,
- knowing that there are insufficient funds in the bank to cover the full amount of that check,
- intending to commit a fraud.
Although California's bad checks law specifically deals with insufficient funds...and California's check fraud law deals with forgery...prosecutors can charge you with both offenses under certain situations.
Example: Charlie attempts to cash a check that he has created using a fictitious bank. Because the check is a fake, it clearly violates PC 476 California's check fraud law. And because there are obviously no funds to cover the amount of the check (since the bank doesn't exist) the act also violates PC 476a PC California's bad checks law.13
California's bad checks law is also a wobbler, subjecting you to the same penalties noted above. And in addition to these criminal penalties, the payee could sue you in civil court to recoup the full amount of the check as well as additional damages that could total up to $1,500.14
4.2. Penal Code 470 PC California's forgery law
Penal Code 470 PC California's forgery law is quite broad. This law prohibits having the intent to defraud when you
- sign the name of another person without that person's consent (or signing the name of a fictitious person) on certain types of documents,
- counterfeit or forge the seal or handwriting of another person, or
- alter, corrupt or falsify a will, deed or court judgment.15
The primary distinction between forgery and check fraud is that forgery applies to a wide variety of documents, whereas check fraud only applies to checks, bills or notes. So if the forgery is not on a check, bill or note, the offense would be properly filed as forgery under PC 470.
However, if you forge someone else's name on a check, prosecutors could charge you under PC 470 or PC 476. And if they decided to charge you with both offenses, California law only allows you to be convicted and sentenced for one of these charges if they were both based on the same conduct.16
Forgery is also a wobbler, subjecting you to the same penalties noted above.17
4.3. Penal Code 487 PC California's grand theft law
California's theft laws prohibit taking money or other property from a person/entity without that person's/entity's consent. If the value of that money or property exceeds $950, the offense is classified as grand theft.18
This means that if you:
- make or pass a fake or fraudulent check for more than $950, and
- obtain money or goods with that check,
prosecutors could charge you with grand theft and check fraud.
Penal Code 487 PC California's grand theft law is a wobbler, punishable in the same manner as noted above.19 But if the amount of the theft exceeds $65,000, the offense becomes an automatic felony punishable by an additional term of incarceration.
4.4. California's petty theft law
You violate California's petty theft law when you unlawfully take money or other property that is valued at or below $950.20 So if you obtain money or goods with a fake or altered check, prosecutors could charge you with PC 476a and petty theft.
Petty theft is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail and a maximum $1,000 fine.21

("Issuing a check to defraud (P.C. 476a) is usually distinguishable from making or passing a fictitious or altered check (P.C. 476 [California's check fraud law]) in that the 'bad' check is a genuine instrument with the genuine signature of the drawer; it is merely uncollectible because of insufficient funds. [ ] However, if the defendant seeks to obtain funds by a check with a forged or fictitious drawer, both statutes are violated: The instrument is knowingly fictitious (P.C. 476) and the defendant obviously knows that he or she has no funds for its payment (P.C. 476a)."")

(2) Notwithstanding any penal sanctions that may apply, any person who passes a check on insufficient funds shall be liable to the payee for damages equal to treble the amount of the check if a written demand for payment is mailed by certified mail to the person who had passed a check on insufficient funds and the written demand informs this person of (A) the provisions of this section, (B) the amount of the check, and (C) the amount of the service charge payable to the payee.

16 2 Witkin, Cal. Crim. Law 3d (2000) Crimes--Property, § 150, p. 181-182. ("Fictitious Check or Forgery. The principal distinction between the two crimes is in the subjects covered: A wide variety of writings may be the subject of forgery (see infra, §156), but P.C. 476 [California's check fraud law] deals only with a bill, note, check or other similar instrument. Hence, if the fictitious instrument is not within this narrow class, the defendant may be prosecuted under that part of P.C. 470 covering signing the name of "a fictitious person." (See People v. Chretien (1902) 137 C. 450, 70 P. 305 [deed]; 49 A.L.R.2d 852 [use of fictitious or assumed name].) On the other hand, if the instrument is a bill, note, or check, P.C. 470 and 476 are both in terms applicable, and a conviction can be sustained under either statute. (People v. Pearson (1957) 151 C.A.2d 583, 586, 311 P.2d 927; People v. Hawkins (1961) 196 C.A.2d 832, 838, 17 C.R. 66.) However, the double punishment statute (P.C. 654) precludes conviction under both. (People v. Hawkins, supra; see 3 Cal. Crim. Law (3d), Punishment, §168.)")
17 See California Penal Code 473 - Forgery; punishment, endnote 2, above.
18 California Penal Code 487 - Grand theft defined. ("Grand theft is theft committed in any of the following cases: (a) When the money, labor, or real or personal property taken is of a value exceeding nine hundred fifty dollars ($950), except as provided in subdivision (b). (b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), grand theft is committed in any of the following cases: (1)(A) When domestic fowls, avocados, olives, citrus or deciduous fruits, other fruits, vegetables, nuts, artichokes, or other farm crops are taken of a value exceeding two hundred fifty dollars ($250). (B) For the purposes of establishing that the value of domestic fowls, avocados, olives, citrus or deciduous fruits, other fruits, vegetables, nuts, artichokes, or other farm crops under this paragraph exceeds two hundred fifty dollars ($250), that value may be shown by the presentation of credible evidence which establishes that on the day of the theft domestic fowls, avocados, olives, citrus or deciduous fruits, other fruits, vegetables, nuts, artichokes, or other farm crops of the same variety and weight exceeded two hundred fifty dollars ($250) in wholesale value. (2) When fish, shellfish, mollusks, crustaceans, kelp, algae, or other aquacultural products are taken from a commercial or research operation which is producing that product, of a value exceeding two hundred fifty dollars ($250). (3) Where the money, labor, or real or personal property is taken by a servant, agent, or employee from his or her principal or employer and aggregates nine hundred fifty dollars ($950) or more in any 12 consecutive month period. (c) When the property is taken from the person of another. (d) When the property taken is any of the following: (1) An automobile, horse, mare, gelding, any bovine animal, any caprine animal, mule, jack, jenny, sheep, lamb, hog, sow, boar, gilt, barrow, or pig. (2) A firearm.")
If the amount of the check is for more than $950, this charge could easily be filed in connection with Penal Code 476 PC California's check fraud law.

(The Canadian War Museum History Awards for students graduating from secondary school)
The Canadian War Museum is dedicated to the study of Canadian military history and the effects of war upon Canada and its people. The Museum also recognizes the need to assist students who plan to continue their post-secondary education. The Colonel Douglas H. Gunter History Awards have been instituted to support and encourage these students.
The Colonel Douglas H. Gunter History Awards are financially supported by the Friends of the Canadian War Museum.
Value of the Awards
The total value of the Awards consists of five prizes of $1000 each, to be distributed to five winning students.
Criteria for admission
Application for the Colonel Douglas H. Gunter History Awards is open to all senior students who plan on graduating from secondary school in the spring of 2014. To qualify, each student must submit an original work using one of the following media:
- Text
- Visual Art
- Audio or Video Production
In addition, each student must include a completed application form.
Please do NOT include extra material such as transcripts, letters of recommendation, news clippings or résumés.
Completed applications must be postmarked and mailed no later than April 12, 2014. Late applications and applications that do not provide all the requested material will not be reviewed. Faxed or e-mailed applications will not be considered.
Every year, the Canadian War Museum selects a theme on which students must base their work. For 2014, students are to produce a work on the following theme:
Canada and the First World War
The First World War started in August 1914. It would last more than four years, and result in the deaths of approximately nine million people in uniform. During the same period, the war and other violent conflicts would kill an estimated twenty million civilians. The world would never be the same. In 2014, we mark the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, making this an ideal time to reflect upon the effects that entering this global conflict had on Canada and Canadians.
Your original work for this year's competition should explore "why" Canada and Canadians participated in the First World War. You might examine the events and conditions that led to Canada going to war in 1914. You may want to look at the political, cultural and economic factors involved, or explore the varied motivations, expectations and actions of specific individuals.
Students may submit ONE entry in either of the media listed below:
- Text (i.e. essay, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, journalism)
- Visual Art (i.e. photography, drawing, painting, 3-D elements)
- Audio or Video Productions (i.e. songs, documentaries, commentaries, films)
Any submissions that do not follow these guidelines will not be evaluated. All submission must come with the application form, filled on the computer and printed. Hand writer application forms will not be evaluated.
1. Text
- Must be written either in English or in French, to a maximum of 2000 words (please include word count at the end of the text), in a size 12 font, a line spacing of 1.5 and a cover page.

Beloit school honored
By MICHAEL STRAND Salina Journal | Tuesday, March 26, 2013 3:02 AM
BELOIT -- It's not every day that elementary school students get to ask questions of a Roman Catholic bishop, but as Bishop Edward Weisenburger visited classrooms Monday morning at St. John's Catholic School, he fielded lots of questions from the children.
BELOIT -- It's not every day that elementary school students get to ask questions of a Roman Catholic bishop, but as Bishop Edward Weisenburger visited classrooms Monday morning at St. John's Catholic School, he fielded lots of questions from the children.
That little round cap bishops wear? It's called a zucchetto, "not a zucchini!" Weisenburger said as he wrote the word on the board in one classroom.
And the color bishops traditionally wear? It's not red, or reddish-purple, or pink, and not quite magenta, he said. "It's not a color in your crayon box. It's called 'amaranth.' "
Stopping in a classroom of eighth-graders, he explained that while there are numerous titles in the Roman Catholic hierarchy, there are just three actual holy orders: deacon, priest and bishop.
"Monsignor" is an honorary title given to some priests, Weisenburger explained, but a monsignor is still a priest.
"Even 'Pope' is an honorary title," he said. "He's a bishop, the Bishop of Rome. Of course, it's a very important title."
School recognized
Weisenburger, who became the Bishop of Salina this past May, was in Beloit on Monday as part of a celebration of the school being named "School of the Month" in the April edition of "Today's Catholic Teacher," a national magazine.
Catholic schools around the nation are shutting their doors; more than 1,300 have closed since 1990, and Catholic school enrollment is less than half of its peak in the 1960s.
At the same time enrollment -- and tuition income -- have been declining around the country, most Catholic schools have moved from being staffed largely by nuns to hiring better-paid professional teachers and administrators.
But in Beloit, enrollment is growing, tuition is surprisingly low and the related Cornerstone Charitable Foundation has set an admittedly ambitious goal of building a $20 million endowment -- roughly the size of the endowment fund at Kansas Wesleyan University in Salina.
St. John's in Beloit also is the only Catholic school in the Midwest -- and possibly in the nation -- that offers preschool through high school that is supported by a single parish.
And not a very big parish at that.
"We have 680 families, or about 1,600 individuals, in the parish," said Andrew Niewald, who teaches theology classes at St. John's and is executive director of the Cornerstone Charitable Foundation. "The question we get from people who call us is, 'How can you guys do this?' "
Lots of support
"By the grace of God, with dedicated teachers and lots of support from our alumni," said Father Joseph Kieffer, the parish priest. "Without all of that, we couldn't do it."
In the five years Kieffer has been the parish priest, enrollment at St. John's has risen from 130 to 150, and the school has added portable classrooms to provide needed space.
With annual tuition of $700 for the first child in a family and a smaller amount for each additional child -- and a $2,000 a family cap -- donations are key to keeping the school operating, said Kieffer. He estimated that tuition pays less than a third of the school's operating costs.
Tuition nationally averages around $3,500, but "I think you'd find, in places like this, most tuitions are pretty low," Kieffer said, explaining that keeping Catholic education accessible is an important consideration.
The school is continually upgrading its offerings, said Principal Marcy Kee.
Three years ago, the school adopted a "Great Books" program, in which students read classic books during the year.
"It opens up a broader knowledge of the great works of literature," Kee said. "It also teaches them to communicate on a higher level."
"The 'Great Books' is part of teaching how to think, not only what to think," Niewald said. "One of the classes we teach is apologetics, how to defend a belief. We bring other religions in -- not to argue with them, but to learn from them."
The school also now offers environmental science, Spanish and several courses high school students can take for college credit, Kee said.
"We try to offer things that aren't always offered," she said. "We try to find classes that incorporate our students' interests, and give them additional enrichment beyond our current science programs.
New classes are announced to the entire parish via postcards; the postcards also are used to announce other news, such as the fact that St. John's students placed first in the 2012-13 Class 1A Math Relays at Fort Hays State University (and fifth overall in the state).
Keeping the school in the forefront of people's minds is important, Niewald said.
"In the past couple of years, they've expanded their base of support, said Nick Compagnone, superintendent of schools for the Salina Catholic Diocese. "The key is connecting with the community and building partnerships."
Beloit is a part of the Salina diocese.
In some ways, Compagnone said, the small size of the Beloit parish is a strength.
"You've got a small-town sense of ownership that's harder to find in a larger parish sometimes," Compagnone said.
Three years ago, Niewald said, the school partnered with Chicago-based Julius Capital Partners to help ensure long-term financial stability.
In fundraising, the foundation now seeks not only annual donations, but also asks people to consider the school in their estate planning, and to consider taking out life insurance policies benefitting the school.
"We essentially became a bank," Niewald said.
He said the school plans to issue $6.5 million in bonds and use that money to pay life insurance premiums on older members of the parish, with the policies benefitting the school.
The hope is to raise $20 million for a permanent endowment fund, Niewald said.
In three years, $1.7 million has been pledged.
"It's an ambitious goal," Niewald said. "Necessity is the mother of invention -- we knew we had to come up with an aggressive plan. This is for financial stability. We were and still are facing what every Catholic school is facing."

Listening today to the brilliant commentry from Whit n Jack they said that the World Superbike round was cancelled at Silverstone and moving to Turkey .I`ve been on the official Silverstone site and you can still buy tickets so people take caution ! What I`m REALLY wishing for is Jonath Palmer owner of Brands Hatch to step in and bring WSB back home and give me my Christmasday back in a hot August weekend and I`m sure many wish the same !

attendanes at last years round were only about 40,000 ish i think, don't think Silverstone would be bothered to lose it tbh.......as you say, put it on at Brands and you could pretty much guarantee 100,000+, providing they don't get greedy on ticket prices............sounds like a cop out to me.
of course....

Thats what they were saying throughout the coverage over the weekend.Also, going by this article, MotoGP is to run from the old pit complex instead of the 'wing'! Apparently due to lack of funds.......This is NOT good.....
Spot on there with that link , I looked everywhere for news on this topic. Surely Brands could afford to run this round with profit. eg a bit of maths 100k paying on average £60 entrance n other bits £6 million and at least 20,000 camping at £25 ( I`d pay more if they get the Poboys back ) £500 k. Silverstone were charging £45 !! greedy gits ! Also wont Brands get a chop out of TV rights and all the burger vans and shops pay a pitch fee of around £2k that`l pay for staff wadges and overheads .MCN grab Jonathon Palmer and question him NOW !
running out of the old pit complex kinda says "welcome to the 2nd division".....how can it cost more to run out of a different pit complex ffs !?!..it can hardly be pre-booked for another race!
Silverstone don't own the 'wing' complex? A bank or investor does and they haven't been payed?...Could explain WSBK pulling out, maybe they don't wanna run out of the 2nd division pit?...

Xmas Stall Ideas??
Just wondered if anyone fancied throwing round some xmas stall ideas to see if the ones we use could help other people, i'm currently looking for something that doesnt need a lot of space but will draw people in, as we have a small spot for turning on the lights, were doing tombola, umm last year they did a human fruit machine but obviously i wanna put my mark on it this year!!

Last year there was a lady doing a stall at our school fair and she just had bags of plain metallic pink, blue, silver and gold baubles. she had a glitter pen and was writing on childrens name requests and selling them for £1 each. She was inundated and had run out after an hour!

Hi, we're planning a christmas fair at our local community centre to raise funds, the plan is to invite sellers like body shop, phoenix cards etc ( not sure if we'll take commission or charge for table yet ), we'll have our tombola, raffle and do refreshments, and if we can find a volunteer maybe Father Christmas! But as with all these things, it depends on how many parents we can get to help!

A new idea we are trying this year which doesnt take up a lot of space is to put up an artificial tree and cover it in small stockings we have bought filled with sweets etc and let children pick the one they want from the tree.
We also find the raffle is a big draw if you can get a decent 1st prize. I was thinking of trying to buy a WII fit to have as 1st prize as I know they are very in demand at the moment!!

We always sell reindeer food at ours.
We cut out loads of antlers, faces eyes and noses. We provide loads of small bags and oats and glitter, and pre printed verses.
The children pay 50p and build their reindeer face with glue and pre cut pieces. They fill their bag with oats and glitter and we pin it to the faces and stick a verse on the back. We always sell out!
If you google reindeer food I think thats how you come up with a selection of verses, There are a few and basically the oats feed the reindeer (or birds) and the glitter lights the way to your house.

We do decorate your own cakes. Just buy a load of cheap plain cupcakes from the supermarket plus some icing pens and sprinkles (festive ones if you like). We charge 50p per cake for the child to decorate it (and then eat it ). You can also use gingerbread men as they are cheap, I think a box of about 30 only costs £2 in Morrisons. We found a lot of the kids (boys especially) made 5 or 6 cakes each...

We cut circles out of different coloured card for the Iris and we cut out smaller black circles for the pupils. We did red cicles for the noses too - some children used the eyes for different coloured noses.
We also cut antlers in a kind of Y shape- less fiddly than anything else!
It's all cut out of thin card or thick paper.
We once bought pre-cut circles going cheap in a pound shop, you could probably find the same in a craft shop, It's a lot less cutting for you if you can get pre-cut circles! You can get pre gummed ones too.
The bags we use are just the cheap, small sandwich bags you get on a roll from the supermarket. We also get the sparkly streamer/string stuff to tie the bags!
Good luck!

Hi Amy, I was reading on here a little while ago that reindeer food made with oats and glitter is really bad for the birds! Someone suggested bird feed and sugar sprinkles (like you put on cakes), which I think we're trying at playgroup this year.
Where abouts are you Kathleen p? I'm in Norwich, I'm the treasurer for the Hoveton and Wroxham Playgroup? Just wondered if you were nearby

I make reindeer food every year and offer a discount for people buying in bulk. 80p a bag and then you can sell it for £1-£1.50 a bag to raise funds. This is always very popular.
you can see the reindeer food here:

Building your new transport network… in 1974
I'm hoping some of the bus and rail enthusiasts can help with this one – a few weeks ago I picked up a 40 year old bus route map for Walsall, Aldridge Lichfield, Brownhills and Cannock, and it's an interesting little time capsule all of it's own.

A word from Rendezvous
The Rendezvous restaurant in Eagle is a romantic setting where thoughtful conversation is more welcome than tablets and smartphones, and where the food doesn't fit into any particular stereotype. "Everything comes with a twist," we serve an overlapping mix of European, Mediterranean and American food. There's also a unique element of customization to the food.Continued

- Rendezvous underwhelms in every wayOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 10/18/2014Service: extremely poor. Had to wait 5 minutes before a waiter (there was no host) showed us to a table. Waited another 10 minutes before our drink order was taken. Not like our drink order mattered, because my wine and my girlfriend's soda were never brought out, even after reminding our waiter who seemed only interested in the Russian families he was serving. Strangely though, my wine appeared on the check, which also took ages for the waiter to correct and bring a new one. Food: I ordered a borscht appetizer and duck in plum sauce with risotto and asparagus main The borscht was flavorless and underseasoned, the duck was tragically over cooked, the risotto was mush, and the asparagus drenched in oil and sauteed to death Will not be back
- The following 8 reviews are from the Rendezvous reviews archive.
- RENDEZVOUS IN EAGLEIDethnicDined on 4/25/2014The food and presentation were great. A very friendly casual atmosphere. A bit of an eastern European flair I would have liked to see more of with the menu choices. We will definitely be going back and often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Nice ChangeimnotcookingtonightDined on 4/5/2014We live in Eagle. There are not very many choices for dining out if you want downtown Eagle. I was hesitant to try Rendezvous because the last restaurant was so noisy you could not have a conversation with the person next to you. Our neighbors joined us and we decided to give it a try. If you don't already know (I did not) The food has a wonderful Ukraine influence. We were greeted by an enthusiastic waiter and he took great care to make our evening a delightful experience. We started with the soup. It could have been a meal in itself. So delicious! I chose the Beef Schnitzel. I loved it. Everything was cooked to perfection. I can't wait to go again. If you live in Eagle you won't want to miss this dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Find!!!Jdx2VIPDined on 3/7/2014My wife and I stumbled on to this place and were more than pleasantly surprised. Great food, awesome service and some nice wines!Special Features:
- What a gem!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/26/2014Our party of 5 loved our first experience at Rendezvous. Excellent host/owner/chef, superior food, accommodated special needs. Just perfect. Beef Schnitzel was an especially flavorful dish, even the Brussels Sprouts were great. We will be returning!Special Features:
- Anniversary DinnerBiancaGusDined on 2/19/2014Made the reservation for an anniversary dinner and was hopeful that there would be special attention for a special date. Not so! How they can stay open with so few patrons and lack of ambiance is beyond me. Food was okay, but rather expensive for such a plain setting. Most likely will not be back.
- I enjoyed the entire experience,OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/14/2014I enjoyed the entire experience, the food and Service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 2/14/2014Went here on valentines day and the lamb shank and prime rib was awesome. Really like the place and has a nice wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Valentine's Day FindfoodfanDined on 2/14/2014My wife and I eat out often and I was looking for someplace different for a Valentine's Day dinner. An internet search for our area came up with Rendezvous on the OpenTable hit list. It was a special limited menu for the evening. We both had the prime rib. The salad, main course with sides and the desert were fantastic. We also had a very good bottle of wine. The service staff was attentive and friendly. I can't wait to go back and try some to the regular menu items.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Magic Circle (law)
The Magic Circle is an informal term for what are generally considered the five leading law firms headquartered in the United Kingdom,[1][2][3] and the four or five leading London-based commercial barristers' chambers.
Law firms[edit]
The five law firms generally regarded as constituting the Magic Circle are:[2][4]
These firms are generally regarded as the most prestigious law firms headquartered in the UK, and consistently have the highest earnings per-partner and earnings per-lawyer among UK-headquartered law firms.
In 2010 four members of the Magic Circle were among the ten largest law firms in the world measured by revenues, with Clifford Chance, Linklaters, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Allen & Overy respectively the third-largest, fourth-largest, sixth-largest and seventh-largest by this measurement.[5] In 2010 Slaughter and May was the 48th-largest law firm in the world by this measure, with revenues of $628,500,000.[5]

So since my trip things have changed dramatically. Things arent running as smoothly as I'd hoped. Now, granted, I feel stronger, and yet, I feel I am growing stronger alone.
It seems like all my hopes of fantasy have been crushed by reality. Of course, I knew logically that it would turn out that way, I mean, look at me. Still I tried, and no one can tell me that I didnt.
But ohh this world is so cruel. And so predictable. When a child wants so much to go to a theme park only to be disappointed by what they find, well…it's very hard to destroy that bad impression. Now if the child is kind they'll try to think of the good things but ultimately whats in their heart doesnt fade so easily.
What used to happen was a message everyday, and of course, they have their own life and now its become busier, but they were also much kinder before. Not once since my return have I been called the "love" I once was known as. Because in their heart there may be none left. Platonic.
As they days grow further with this negative impression, it wraps itself like a weed around any kind of love that may still reside. But alas, this is no weed. It's much more cruel than that. It's a viper squeezing the life out of that love, leaving no kindness left until when a day comes and there are no messages, its because they are busy. When two days go and there are no messages, something came up.
But when it happens often enough with no excuse its because that viper has all but crushed any love thats left until it decides to go in for the kill. When the love is so weak it can fight back any longer the viper strikes. And all thats left is a friendship not even strong enough to sustain itself. Then that person becomes a defining moment in your life that drifts away and becomes nothing more than a memory. A shade of what was once your happiness. Manifestations of your youth and what once you thought you loved.
So here I am. I stand before the viper constricting at your love. But the truth is, there's only so much I can do to suppress his constriction. Ultimately it's your choice to decide whether or not that love is worth keeping. And you can try to fool yourself into believing that it will live no matter what, but this world is cruel. And your kindness is not kindness. Kindness with no heart is a lie. And lies hurt worse than a viper.
The truth is its not your love thats really being constricted. It's me. Everyday I feel like I am suffocating. Because my armor was my hopes and dreams for us. But the world is cruel. It has changed you and your heart. And now my best friend, who I believed was my best friend is drifting away from me. And the lies barrage me like stones to the face. "We'll be best friends forever." Such words…meaningless because you so easily drift away from me. I like to know my friends are all right. And you are my best friend. And I love you so. But I think…in your heart…there's no room for me. Not as a best friend. Or as a lover. The only thing left is a shade of what was once the true me. When once you loved me.
This person who is now grasped by the everlasting father of time, the viper that I am constantly at battle with; I think…it's best if I let him win this battle…for your sake. Because the snake that binds you isnt the snake that binds me. The one who possibly holds you back is me. So I'm going to let you go….and maybe…if we truly are friends…if there is any love in your heart left for me…you'll be there with me before the viper consumes whats left of me.
Father time…you are so cruel.
