JAMES BOND star DANIEL CRAIG will reportedly marry girlfriend SATSUKI MITCHELL
– as soon as he wraps up filming on his current 007 movie QUANTUM OF SOLACE.
The 39-year-old British actor allegedly proposed to his film producer partner
during a romantic break in Italy last summer (07), but the pair have so far
refused to confirm their engagement.
However, reports state the couple have been inseparable during filming of the
latest superspy venture – with Mitchell allegedly visiting the hunk every day
on the movie's set in Panama.
A source tells British tabloid The Sun, "Daniel and Satsuki are so loved-up.
He asked her to marry him and she's been showing off a very beautiful Cartier
ring. It has a large diamond solitaire with a platinum setting.
"Daniel and Satsuki are now stronger than ever. They're planning an intimate
ceremony for close family and friends. They make a great couple."
A spokesperson for Craig refused to comment.

1.1 This specification covers 9 % nickel-alloy steel plates produced by the direct-quenching process. The plates are intended primarily for use in welded pressure vessels.
1.2 The direct-quenching process consists of quenching the plates directly after rolling, without permitting the plates to cool below the critical temperature prior to initiation of the quenching operation, and subsequently tempering the plates. (This differs from the "conventional" process in which the plates are permitted to cool to a temperature significantly below the critical temperature, usually to ambient temperature, prior to reheating to a temperature above the upper critical temperature, then quenching, and subsequently tempering.)
1.3 The maximum nominal thickness of plates furnished under this specification shall not exceed 2 in. [50 mm].
1.4 This material is susceptible to magnetization. Use of magnets in handling after heat treatment should be avoided if residual magnetism would be detrimental to subsequent fabrication or service.
1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.

Work With Me
If you serve on staff with a church, you know the joy that comes with that honor.
You know the challenges as well. I don't know about you, but I always found it difficult to find time to make the ministry better. Fortunately, I was able to make some significant changes that helped me create the ministry I always wanted to be a part of.
The biggest change was I got help. I got helpful resources, coaching, community with other leaders and consulting to help provide a different perspective and accountability. I want to do the same for you.
I want to help you work on your ministry, not just in it. Most of the work I do with other churches and church leaders is now done through Ministry Boost. Here are 4 ways I can come alongside you and help you work on your ministry.

I Wait
It's heavier here now
Since you left.
Like a miracle; Wow!
See: Bereft.
I have in my hand words
From a book;
An empty sky holds birds
As I look.
Slowly the past recedes,
Emptied, as the mind reads
Hardened understanding
Changes us
In our views; Birds landing
Make a fuss.
It's dark where sunlight fell;
You are late.
Silent as a cancer cell,
I wait.
I found in a book some leaves
I had picked up from a road
one rainy day last fall. I could
not bear to let their beauty lie
there on the cold, wet ground,
waiting to disintegrate under
the wheels of oblivious drivers.
I tried to save them from their
as we all have tried
in similar ways to save ourselves
from time. It is nearly Spring,
but these leaves, like memories,
say to me, again, how fleeting
everything is.
And that no one
can stop, not for a moment, the
constant flow and inexorable
passage of life.

The Three Coolest Dance Scenes
I can't really dance all that well, but I still like to do it. When I'm among friends, in a dark room, and enveloped in a noisy crowd, there's nothing that quite matches the feeling I get moving along with everybody else to a solid beat. This is especially on the rare chance that they play my favorite song.
Dance scenes occasionally get their due in movies, and a good sequence makes me want to jump through the screen and join in, even though I would probably ruin it. Here are three cool scenes that make me want to dance more.
The Madison from Band Of Outsiders
This is a classic scene helmed by French New Wave director, Jean-Luc Godard. It's interesting that this scene takes place inside a busy café instead of a dance hall or club. It highlights the spontaneity, nonchalance, and charm of youth. And, of course, there's that narration, given the full spotlight to describe the characters' thoughts as the music cuts away abruptly while they continue to dance.
I love the music, but it's a little awkward that the characters lose the beat. Clearly the music was dubbed in afterwards, so maybe they were improvising when it was filmed. Nevertheless, this was like where hipster cool must have been born.
The contest from Pulp Fiction
In the '90s, you didn't get much cooler than Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino was influenced early on by Godard (his film company is called A Band Apart), so this scene likely has roots in Band Of Outsiders. When I first watched it, I thought Vincent Vega's dancing was the stupidest thing ever, but after a short while it grew on me.
For one, he's so damn aloof through the whole thing, like this silly dance contest is beneath him. He's just doing this to entertain his boss's girl, but you know he's got some killer moves locked away upstairs somewhere. He's just not gonna break them out here, tonight, for these people. Instead, he's doing a little boogie and letting Mia Wallace lead the way to the trophy. Everybody goes home happy.
"The Rich Man's Frug" from Sweet Charity
And to top it off, let's get a lot more intentional. From legendary choreographer Bob Fosse comes this incredibly cool three-part number from the Shirley McLain musical Sweet Charity. It starts off with a movement called the "Aloof"—so I'm starting to see a theme of what, to me, is cool here. The dancing through most of the beginning is appropriately understated, like Vega's style in Pulp Fiction, but here the dancers occasionally break out into wilder gestures. With the "Heavyweight", the dancing gets a bit more grandiose, and by the end of the the "Big Finish" they're all cutting loose and doing their own thing (but note the guy in the middle, smoking and remaining completely aloof). The whole thing is super-tightly performed and the result is a giant spectacle.
Beyond just the dancing, this scene is packed with so much style, it's ridiculous. I mean check those ruffly shirts!
"The Rich Man's Frug" is part of a musical where all the moves are choreographed, but generally the sequences that I like the most are the ones in dramatic films that feel a bit more natural and spontaneous. Either way, a cool dance scene is a joy to watch.

BYU Fans Irate Over MWC Deal with CSTV- Post from Sunday, September 10th, 2006
The Mountain West Conference turned down ESPN for a more lucrative broadcast deal with CSTV that has raised the ire of BYU fans from around the country. The CSTV deal also entailed the creation of a new television network known as "The mtn.," which MWC officials promised would be carried nationally by the beginning of the 2006 college football season. The MWC's broadcast package of games for BYU have the Cougars scheduled to air over a combination of CSTV, Versus (formerly OLN) and the mtn., in addition to last week's appearance on TBS versus Arizona and next week's non-conference contest vs. Boston College on ESPN2.
Unfortunately, the mtn. network has not been able to reach a deal with DISH or DirecTV, or any cable companies outside of Utah, Colorado, Idaho and New Mexico. So, when BYU's first home game of the year against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane was aired on the mtn network Saturday afternoon, the only Cougar fans on the entire planet that were able to watch a live broadcast of the game were those with cable subscriptions in the four aforementioned states. BYU defeated Tulsa, the defending C-USA champions, 49-24.
Thousands of fans who subscribe to other cable carriers or DISH and DirecTV were left with the only option of listening to the game thru KSL.com's Internet streamcast of Salt Lake City's KSL radio game coverage. The fans' outcry became so intense prior to the game that BYU's athletic department communications had to post a Q&A on their Web site on Friday urging fans to contact their satellite or cable providers and request them to carry the mtn.
Adding insult to injury, CSTV did not even offer the game over the Internet as a video option on their All Access XXL subscription package, and a replay of the game that was scheduled to air on satellite channel BYU-TV Saturday evening was cancelled just hours before the telecast. A disclaimer note on byutv.org's programming schedule page stated "Due to a change in broadcast rights, BYU Television will be unable to bring you highlights from the Tulsa versus BYU football game played Sept. 9."
Two popular BYU fan discussion boards, Cougarboard.com and Cougarfan.com, were buzzing with rage toward CSTV and MWC commissioner Craig Thompson as well as Brigham Young University athletic director, Tom Holmoe. The majority of posts on the two discussion board sites expressed sentiments of feeling cheated, and proclaiming they are being used as pawns in the negotiations between CSTV and cable as well as satellite providers to carry the mtn.
Some Cougarboard members even discussed ways to share the mtn broadcasts via Slingshot and streaming video uploads, prompting the board's grand guru known as "El Jefe" to post a warning about copyright violations using these technologies. El Jefe's post banned further discussion of content sharing and indicated that board members who violated the ban would be subject to "lengthy penalty."
Fan discussions also lamented dramatically lessened exposure on sports news programs that typically used to carry highlights of their games including ESPN Sportscenter.
BYU football games are scheduled to be carried on the mtn four more times this season, but next week Cougar fans can rest easy as their team plays a road game at Boston College that will be carried on ESPN2.
The Mountain West Conference referred calls to CSTV and Comcast regarding their ongoing negotiations with satellite and cable companies to carry the mtn. network. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.

|For those of you who don't know who I am, well, le'me tell'ya....."I'm Danny Eakin, The Travelin' Minstrel of the Ozarks". I'been pickin' the banj'er, the guitar, and the harmonica and "tellin' stuff" for 'bout all my life. You Know, I'm a child of God and proud to be a HILLBILLY ! I was raised in the suburbs of a place in the Ozark Mountains called Booger Holler, Arkansas, Population 7, Countin' One Coondog (On Historic Highway 7, South of Jasper) where livin' is simple and the priorities are plain........
#One; God Almighty and his Son we call Our Saviour, Jesus Christ 'cause we hillbillies believe that God is responsible for all thangs ever Ate, Helt, Felt or Smelt as well as all thangs right sweet and holy about this old world.....
# Two; Momma, 'cause of two thangs; Momma cooks supper....And it seems that when God gets upset with you he elects Momma ta carry his wrath ta you (Now, Daddy brings wrath, too, but we all know who told'eem to, don't we ?...Momma, right?) .....
# Three; Yore Kinfolks, 'cause if Momma gets bad sick and can't cook supper, you don't wanna eat what Daddy cooks, so you go eat with the kinfolks till Momma gets outta the sickbed......
And # Four; Yore Coondog, 'cause when ever'thang else goes ta pot, yore coondog can find some supper in the belly-slap of his tail.....So, you see, there ain't no # five, 'cause we figger if yore silly enough not ta have a good coondog, yore family sooner'r'later'll starve ta death." I'been pickin' and sangin' most all my life 'bout somethin' or 'nother. I guess I learned my love fer sangin' from Momma, who sung all'time 'round the house and played her momma's pump organ. We was tak'n ta church all'time whether we wanted to 'er not. And Momma played piano downt'tha church and still does today. So, through the years, I ended up comin' to this area (Branson) back in '72 just lookin' for somewhere to pick and sang. Some people might not know that the life of a musician and sanger is perty rough for the first few years. Well, I traveled to places like Chicago, Nashville, Los Angeles, and a whole lotta other places and finally decided to raise two kids where the "priorities" were right and the Branson area helped do that, what with all the Christian Youth Groups and such. Well, that was back in the summer of '84 when I come back here. And I started sangin' and tellin' stuff on the stages of Silver Dollar City, Missouri in April of '85.
Now I'm part of a special group called "The Homestead Pickers™" at the McHaffies Homestead Cabin built in 1843 on Main Street. There's me and Greg Becker, Greg Bailey, and our new member, Walt Morrison. We pick and sang and tell stuff a few times a day at the cabin and do the chores around the farm.

One of the mysteries of the English language finally explained.
1An aromatic plant of the daisy family, typically having feathery foliage and brightly coloured flowers.
Genus Tanacetum (formerly Chrysanthemum or Pyrethrum), family Compositae: several species, in particular T. coccineum, grown as an ornamental, and T. cinerariifolium, grown as a source of the insecticide pyrethrum
- 'Others are synthetic versions of naturally-occurring insecticides, such as those found in the plant pyrethrum.'
- 'Some are derived from plants, such as pyrethrum and neem.'
- 'Not all herbs smell good - catmint, curry plant, pyrethrum, rue, santolina and tansy are all pretty pongy.'
- 'In some areas, extremely fertile soils produce coffee, tea, and pyrethrum (used in making insecticides).'
- 'When I looked closely I could see the truck had a PyGanic label with the iconic pyrethrum flower on the side.'
- 'This is the area where significant cash crops are grown, including pyrethrum (a flower that produces a natural insecticide), coffee and tea.'
- 1.1mass noun An insecticide made from the dried flowers of pyrethrum plants.
- 'The spray does not control the adults, so you can either handpick the adults or spray them with pyrethrum insecticide.'
- 'By the mid 1800s, the heads of chrysanthemum flowers were used to obtain pyrethrum, and rotenone was extracted from the derris plant.'
- 'Rotenone and pyrethrum don't work, even if applied more frequently.'
- 'A natural pyrethrum insecticide is cheaper, less harmful and just as effective as those chemical poisons to kill spiders.'
- 'Geoff reckons to use a contact spray like pyrethrum which breaks down within about 24 hours.'
- 'Daisy plants were first used centuries ago as a lice remedy in the Middle East, and this led to the discovery of pyrethrum insecticides.'
- 'Adult mosquitoes were obtained from houses within a village by resting and pyrethrum knockdown collections.'
- ''That's pyrethrum,' said Niko 'it's used as an insecticide.''
- 'Pesticides that are approved for organic farming include copper, sulfur, petroleum distillates, and pyrethrum.'
- 'For body lice, use pyrethrum with piperonyl butoxide lotion over the whole body and wash off after 10 minutes.'
- 'It seems probable that in the future, synthetic pyrethroids will be of more interest than pyrethrum as possible delousing agents.'
- 'You can treat them with pyrethrum, white oil, soapy water or just squash them with your fingers.'
- 'You can purchase concentrated pyrethrum from a nursery or the garden supply section of your supermarket.'
Middle English (denoting pellitory): from Latin, from Greek purethron 'feverfew'. The current senses (based on the former genus name) date from the late 19th century.

Freedom Daze
By Aamera Siddiqui
Directed by Suzy Messerole
In 1974, two young girls meet at a dinner party in Zambia. One girl would be sentenced to a life in solitary confinement, the other would become an artist diving into her story. In a world of they hate freedom, if you see something, say something and The Terror Alert is…where can one find the truth?
American as Curry Pie
By Aamera Siddiqui
Directed by Suzy Messerole & Meena Natarajan
For Aamera Siddiqui, growing up as an immigrant in the United States was a balancing act between her Indian heritage and her American surroundings. Curried peas and hot dogs, Catholic school uniforms and colorful saris, Urdu and English all blended and bounced off one another to shape Aamera's identity. Told with honesty and humor, writer/performer Aamera Siddiqui's American as Curry Pie is one woman's story about immigration, assimilation, and discovering what it means to be an American.
Draw Two Circles
By Aamera Siddiqui and Suzy Messerole
Directed by Meena Natarajan
Draw Two Circles tells the parallel journeys of two extremely different women growing up in very religious households, both of whom suffer consequences for living outside the limits established by their religions. They are white, South Asian, lesbian, straight, Catholic and Muslim and they're each trying to live and love in multiple circles. Yet they spend most of their time somewhere in between—in a chasm created when identity, faith, family and societal expectations collide.

Latozi Mpahleni, better known as Madosini, was born in 1943 in Mpondoland, Eastern Cape. Growing up as a girl would in a traditional Xhosa household, she did not go to school and so never learned to read or write. Her mother taught her how to make and play the instruments she plays - the Uhadi (music bow),Umrhubhe (mouth bow) and Isitolotolo (Jewish harp) - when she was 12 years old.
Madosini's music was first recorded in the late 1970s. The harmonic progressions she uses are as in the ancient African tradition of two chords and one whole tone apart, while the melodies she creates have astounding evocative power and use a scale similar to the Lydian modes used in Jazz.
In 2008, Madosini performed at the WOMAD festival and was the first person to be recorded and documented in the festival's Musical Elders Archives project.
Madosini's sound has inspired many musicians to collaborate with her, including the South African collective of ancestral sounds, PedXulu, at the North Sea Jazz festival in Cape Town, Vuyo Katsha of Amapondo, British rock singer Patrick Duff and Jazz musicians in Vienna and Cape Town.
After working closely with Madosini, Duff described her music as "a true unadulterated expression of the creative spirit", while Hans Huyssen, an acclaimed classical composer, cellist and conductor, whose collaboration with Madosini resulted in The Songs of Madosini, says: "Madosini offers us one of the very last chances to catch a glimpse of Africa's prehistoric musical past…"
Madosini's last collaboration was with Gilberto Gil, the famous Brazilian musician. She currently performs internationally with fellow musician and storyteller, Pedro "The Music Man" Espi-Sanchis.

Belgian National Health Insurance Institute submit two CFS/ME doctors penalty of more than half a million Euros
Two Belgian doctors who treated thousands of CFS/ME patients in recent years have been fined by the Administrative Court of Inami, the Belgian National Health Insurance Institute to a penalty of more than € 500,000. The Drs Francis Coucke, endocrinologist, and Anne Marie Uyttersprot, neuropsychiatrist, must not only repay the prescribed medication but were also fined more than 100%. The verdict was in absentia because both doctors act of revenge by the court. One of the doctors- magistrates, the chairman of the CVS group of Inami, prof. Baeyens, withdrew. The other issue was a doctor- magistrate, Dr. Bernard Debbaut, which sits at the Insurance Committee and the Technical Medical Board of Inami, who refused to withdraw. The conviction of two doctors was before the investigation that preceded the lawsuit, announced by the Christian and Socialist Health Insurances (CM & SM).
The case came at the instigation of the Health Insurance CM who in recent years faced with growing discontent of its members who refuse the imposed CBT psychotherapy for the treatment of CFS, such as those in the so-called reference centers is applied. An internal report of Inami has previously shown that behavioral therapy is unsuccessful. A report from the independent Knowledge Centre KCE later confirmed that outcome.
Both doctors are committed to not accept the verdict and will appeal. "This case is a put-up job," says Dr. Uyttersprot. "We have rigorously applied the criteria of Inami. In contradiction with official beliefs we established that many patients suffer from severe comorbid disorders. We have done no more than our duty. In no way have enriched ourselves. "
"It is proven that a physician in this country has no chance of a fair hearing," says Dr. Coucke. " Inami, which is controlled by the largest health insurance company in the country, CM, is judge and party and not even hiding it. We have documentary evidence that the conviction was tied. The so-called investigation by Inami was a joke. "
Despite the appeal the verdict can be executed immediately.
Earlier, the CM field a complaint with the National Order of Physicians, who dismissed the case.
This verdict also creates a precedent because it means that Belgian doctors now not only have to repay unfair fees received but now post factum required to bear the costs of so called falsely medication of their patients. The requirements of the two doctors were however always approved by the medical officer of the health insurance.

I'll Have What She's Having: What to wear with a bold print skirt? A white shirt, of course, is oh soooo French Chic!
Leïla Bekhti, the French actress, knows that the best compliment to something bold and bright is palette cleansing clean, classic, and crisp starkness by way of a perfect shirt.
>> MORE from the French Riviera: Cannes Do Chic
Let's review the styling finesse of the bold "Renaissance painting" print Carven skater skirt from last fall that she wore at Cannes the other day.
Take a vivid print– whether it be as bright as a Lilly Pulitzer or as fashion statement-making as this Carven– and wear the wrong top. Suddenly, the whole looks goes downhill.
Here's your BIG takeaway stylist tip: If you think of your bold print bottom as a statement-making "accessory" rather than a piece of clothing. Pair simple items with it, then the look becomes incredibly chic.
What makes a top "wrong," You ask? Anything that's over-designed, busy, fussy, or a competing color against the print that causes your eye to lose focus.
>>RELATED: Deo-Go Deodorant Stain Remover Removes Gross Yellow Armpit Stains From White Clothing
That simple white shirt becomes the one element to keep everything in check and look fresh, off-handed and classic… even when the skirt is a season old and VERY identifiable like this one. Personally, I think Leïla Bekhti's styling is far more interesting than as the look was shown on the Carven runway, above.
When it comes to French Chic, a key element, I hate the word "rule," is to juxtapose something statement-making with something simple. Nothing is a better example than a classic white button front shirt. You really should add one to your wardrobe and rethink how to wear it.
Some classic button front white shirts to consider:

Once in a while, a business titan will let loose on Twitter and begin to spill his opinions and insights. Recently, one of these Silicon Valley titans went on an incredible 21-hour tweetstorm. That titan, Shervin Pishevar, has created some predictions that has raised millions of eyebrows on the social media platform. Below are the highlights of that infamous 21-hour tweetstorm.
The Dow is Going to Crash
Perhaps the biggest and most shocking prediction from the 21-hour tweetstorm was that the Dow would drop 6,000 points. If this prediction were to come true, then that would cause the biggest crash, in the U.S. market, in over a decade.
Bitcoin Is Going Down, Too
Not one to isolate his doom and gloom to just the major financial markets, Shervin Pishevar also sees a crash coming to the world's biggest cryptocurrency. In another tweet, Mr. Pishevar predicted that Bitcoin would crash to the $2,000 to $5,000 level. This would mark a 75% to 90% crash from Bitcoin's $20,000 high from December 2017.
America is Falling Behind in the Global Infrastructure Race
Veering from the financial world, Shervin Pishevar sees America falling behind in the world of infrastructure. The Silicon Valley tycoon points to the fact that China can now build entire railway station in about 9 hours.
California Will No Longer Be the Center of Tech Innovation
One of the most shocking predictions from the Silicon Valley titan was that his hometown will no longer be the center of tech innovation. Instead, Shervin Pishevar believes that start-ups will work remotely and connect with clients and workers online.
America's Biggest Companies Have Become Too Powerful
Finally, Shervin Pishevar proclaimed that America's biggest companies have become too powerful. And that these massive firms are stifling start-ups. Mr. Pishevar believes that Uber may be the last start=up to "make it."
The 21-hour tweet storm were the first public statements from Shervin Pishevar in many months. And the executive's wild proclamations and predictions have become the talk of Silicon Valley. As the year continues, people will watch to see how many of Mr. Pishevar's predictions come true.

The top ten sights in Zagreb
If you are going to visit Zagreb, you simply can't leave without visiting these top ten places. The top ten must see sights in Zagreb, Croatia are:
- The Cathedral – The tallest building in Croatia is its Cathedral. This cathedral is magnificent. One of the two spires under construction and has been for the past twenty years. The interior is striking. A ceiling of yellow stars on dark blue compliments the dark wooden pews and intricate artwork decorating its walls.
- Dolac Market – The Dolac Market is the largest outdoor market in the city center. Located just outside of the cathedral, you will notice vendors have piled their tables with fresh produce. Don't be fooled into thinking that it is only a one level market. Immediately under the open air section you will find the butchers, bread makers, and dairy producers.
- Tkalciceva Street – Go there to sit and be seen. The classic European coffee culture is prevalent on this street and you better be there on Saturday morning (or Saturday night.) I haven't figured out how an Croat can make an espresso last for two hours, but they have all mastered the art. The coffee will be the size of an espresso shot even if you order it with milk. Moreover, it will be delicious. I admit to not having mastered the art of stretching that coffee over an entire morning, but I'm working on it.
- Stone Gate – An open air church of sorts. An image of the Virgin is the point of prominence here. The image was the only surviving piece of a former church that was once on the same exact site after an extremely destructive fire. Here many locals and visitors alike come to pray, light candles, and look in awe at the hundreds of plaques on the walls noting thanks to the virgin.
- St. Mark's Church – The oldest church in Zagreb with its roots back to the 13th century. The coat of arms for Croatia is the dominant adornment on the the tiled roof of the church. Located in "old town" visitors can either take the short funicular up to visit or manage a few flights of stairs.
- Zrinjevac – If you look at a map of Zagreb, you will notice a horseshoe shaped park just north of the river and train station. This horseshoe park houses the cities arboretum, the national theatre, a few museums, and Zrinjevac park. Lined with trees and centered on a gazebo, this park is perfect for lazy walks.
- Art Pavilion – Another prominent building within the horseshoe parks is the the Art Pavilion. Art exhibits are displayed inside this gorgeous building that is rightly a piece of art itself. Be stunned by the glass dome ceiling or the art exhibitions.
- National Theatre – Even if opera or theatre isn't your thing, you will have to be impressed by the amazing decorations of the building. It gives the Sistine Chapel a run for its money with the beautiful frescoes.
- Museum of Naive Art – My favorite museum out of the many that Zagreb has to offer. It is small and can be done quickly if you are short on time and it is worth every penny of the 20 KN entry fee. The museum focuses on artwork from untrained Croatian artists. It is amazing to look at the skill presented knowing that it was all completely untaught.
- Main Square -Ban J.Jelačića – It's the hub of the city. A wide open space that is constantly hosting various vendors for pop up markets, the location for the city's NYE bash, and a major tram intersection. The square is a good place to people watch and observe the daily rhythms of Zagrebian life.
You can keep yourself entertained for weeks on end in Zagreb, but make sure that you at least see these sights. I suggest that you look into Airbnb stays while you are in town as they will keep you in the middle of town. After you get through the classic sites, try the more unusual as well. Zagreb has won the "best of" award for the second year in a row for its holiday market. For that reason, be sure to check out Christmas in Zagreb.

text: Sweden's melodic death metal giants In Flames have released an official video for the title track from their last album, "Sounds of a Playground Fading." Their most recent effort was a nice welcome back to form for In Flames. The video is a collection of live clips of the band playing in front of some raucous fans. The video captures the energy that the band puts out on stage every night. They are one of my favorite live bands out there today.

Thousands of pounds have been raised towards crucial treatment for a young Ballycarry girl thanks to a local Orange lodge.
Sophie Mathers was born eight weeks prematurely with cerebral palsy, a neurological condition which commonly affects movement and co-ordination.
In seven-year-old Sophie's case, it causes her legs to stiffen, making walking and sleeping difficult.
Sophie recently underwent an operation to ease her symptoms.
Known as Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy, the procedure involved cutting nerve roots in Sophie's spine to relieve the stiffness in her muscles.
The treatment was carried out in Liverpool, where Sophie and her mother stayed for three weeks.
"Currently Sophie is home and doctors and consultants are pleased with her progress," said Carrick councillor, Cheryl Johnston.
"There has been an improvement in mobility and strength."
Meanwhile, the local youngster's recovery has been aided by hydrotherapy and intensive physiotherapy.
And Sophie is due to benefit from ongoing treatment after a fundraising night raised thousands towards her physiotherapy.
The event, which took place last Friday night, was organised though Woodburn Ebenezer LOL No 787, of which Sophie's father John is a member.
Working with Barn United Football Club, the evening saw great support from the local community.
A total of £3700 was raised towards the cost of Sophie's treatment.

All article images photographed by Brenda Pomponio of 13 Acres excluding black and white portrait of Brenda below, photographed by Tim Coulson.
We know how much you all love reading our Step Inside articles and, we love bringing them to you. As such, we are thrilled to share with you that with the help of a wonderful new regular contributor, Brenda Pomponio talented photographer and curator of popular lifestyle blog 13Acres, there will be plenty more homes profiled in the future. However, we thought first you'd like to know a little more about Brenda.
Have you always been a photographer?
No! I have a degree in Psychology and worked for Department of Human Services, as a Child Protection Officer first. I then moved into the non-government sector mainly working to strengthen families through counselling and support. After I had my two children I then worked as a counsellor for the Department of Education and Childhood Development. I'm mostly a self-taught photographer having fell in love with the craft about six years ago when I was gifted my first Digital SLR. I was hooked and I just wanted to know everything there was to taking great pictures. I was at home with the kids and was passionate about taking great photos of them. I did some short courses, then decided to really get stuck in and enrolled in a Diploma of Photography which took me about 18 months to complete and gave me great insight into all the technical elements and theory behind photography.
What drew you to Photography as a profession?
I have always been a crafty person, as a little girl I was always making something, whether it is sewing or jewellery making. After having children I had some time to pursue those crafts again. I started a craft inspired blog and of course I wanted to take great pictures. So I then became really interested in photography and loved it so I just didn't stop taking photos. After a while friends and family started commenting on my work that I then considered pursing this as a possible career. My blog was a great way of getting my images out there and it enabled me to advertise in a subtle way and I was getting offers of work which surprised me at first and then I thought "just go for it" and I haven't looked back since.
Can you describe your style of photography to us?
It's a very natural, organic style. I don't really like anything that needs to look too contrived or worked on so I love shooting in the moment and being rather "invisible" to my clients. I find that this approach gets the results my clients love as it captures that candid, real essence of the moment and true personalities. When I'm shooting landscapes I love finding an odd element, like a fallen tree or a unique symmetry that can tell a wonderful story.
What is it about lifestyle photography that you love and, what challenges you?
It is unpredictable and I love it. I was shooting a group of men from the local Men's Shed organisation the other day and at first they were a bit hesitant and maybe even uncomfortable in front of the camera. Lucky for me, I think I can draw on my experience in counselling and to pick up on these cues and really just make people relax, connect and almost forget that the camera is there. I ended up capturing the below image of the gentlemen and, probably one of my favourite shots of my career to date. I'm very proud of this image as it will be displayed as part of a local Dementia Awareness Exhibition I'm partaking in as September is Dementia Awareness Month.
I am aware that a big camera can be quite confronting so getting my clients to relax, have fun and enjoy the moment is probably the part I love the best about being a photographer. That connection with people is what makes my job so enjoyable as everyone has a story to tell I feel so privileged each time I get to record that moment.
Who do you admire in your profession and why?
Oh the list is quite long I don't know where to begin especially now with social media we are able to share and be inspired by so many in this profession. Tim Coulson is one photographer whom I began following when he was photographing his beautiful wife Kesh, pregnant with their first baby. I attended one of his photography workshops and his passion for photography was admirable and contagious. I have always loved the work of Philippe Halsman, a Latvian born photographer that worked in the US in the 1940's. He photographed such iconic people of that era from Presidents, actors and singers and after each sitting he would ask them to do one final photo jumping. He even has the duke and duchess of Windsor jumping. I admire that creativity in a photographer to really think outside the square. Australia is blessed with such great creative photographers and a few that I'm enjoying at the moment are Eugene Tan (aquabumps), Louise Brimble an amazing stylist and photographer and Tahnee from Lemonade Lane.
If there was any location or person in the world you would love to photograph, who/what would it be and why?
This is really difficult to answer because I don't really think about what I would like to photograph, I think more about seeing a moment and trying to capture it when it happens. We recently went on a family holiday through England, France and Italy, and I have to say photographing my loved ones in such iconic places like Stonehenge, The Eiffel Tower and Vatican City was just incredible, but then I also loved getting lost in back streets, quirky cafe's and European country landscapes.
My photo collection of old doors is pretty hefty too. When you see something you love you get inspired to capture it, even if it is just on your phone. Having said that I feel so blessed to be living in North East Victoria and spoilt for such amazing scenic opportunities to photograph. It happens quite often that I'll be driving along and suddenly stop to get the camera out and capture an amazing sunset or picturesque landscape.
You mentioned you were living in Melbourne for 12 years and then you and your husband decided to make a "tree change"?
It took us a while to realise the country lifestyle was calling. We thought we were happy living in Melbourne but our focus started to shift, we wanted to live differently and it was actually our whole philosophy of connecting with our food and traditional family preserving that spurred us on. Both our families live in the North East and we began thinking it would be wonderful to have the children grow up with space and that wonderful country lifestyle. At the time we were holidaying a lot in Beechworth and had already fallen in love with this gorgeous town so in the end it was a pretty easy decision to make.
Tell us how you found 13 acres? Did you fall in love with the land or, did you fall in love with the local township and just knew you had to live there?
Holidaying here made it an easy choice. We loved the area, we loved the townspeople and were already making connections and friends. One search late one evening on a realestate website alerted me to a new estate a few kilometres from town and it just looked perfect. We looked at one block…it was 13 acres, fell in love and that was it.
You built a new home on your property. We can't wait to hear more about this process in another feature article but for now, can you describe the time frame from making the decision to move to, moving-in and how that process unfolded for you?
It was actually rather a purposely slow process. My husband was just a few years into his business in Melbourne and whilst we knew we wanted a tree-change, we put it on the back burner for a little while. After about 2-3 years we then engaged an architect to start coming up with some house plans, which took another twelve months. We were fortunate that the first local builder we spoke to we connected with straight away and didn't really feel the need to look elsewhere. The whole process from buying the block to moving in took about four years.
How did your family and friends react to your news about moving to the country?
Some weren't surprised! What's that saying "You can take the girl away from the country but you can't take the country away from the girl."
Our friends and family were so supportive as they could see just how happy this move made us. It really was life-changing in so many ways.
If you could, would you have changed anything about the transition from city to country living?
Honestly I don't think so. We lived in Melbourne during the first 6 months of the build, then moved during the last 5 months so we feel like we were present for the best bits! I mean it is hard going and shifting our whole family and there is a lot of work involved and preparation but it was definitely worth it!
What's been the most challenging aspect of your "tree change"?
I think any parent that has moved their family would say that you worry about how the children will cope. Our children were aged 5 and 7 when we moved and you do worry about their ability to adapt to a new school, a new community and new house. There were tough moments and the adjustment period is felt by all, children and adults. During those times it's easy to slip into the mentality of believing you may have made the wrong choice, but when all that new-ness settles then you quickly shift to the thinking of "why didn't we do this sooner."
Do you miss anything about living in the city?
The great thing is, Melbourne is so close still. We often go for a weekend and soak up Melbourne as a tourist! We take in a game of footy, wander through the city and catch up with friends. We are doing things that we never did when we lived there. So I can't say I miss living in the city, because by living in the country I think we appreciate the city more.
What's been the most rewarding aspect of your "tree change"?
It's definitely been achieving our goals on our property. Not only building our wonderful home, but we set out to really live differently in relation to our food and re-engaging with long held preserving traditions. We raise our own cows that get slaughtered on site that feed our family. We have a veggie garden, chooks and orchards of citrus, apples, pears, peaches and olives. We support local producers and growers and love having our days at 13 Acres making passata in summer and salami in winter. I love watching my children relish this new way of life, getting involved and having fun. It's so rewarding.
Is there any advice you would give a young couple or family thinking about taking the "tree change" leap?
Make a plan, prioritise what is important and don't deviate from that plan. We knew we wanted land to be self sufficient and more sustainable and that wasn't something we were prepared to compromise on. I also wanted a great school for my kids and town that could offer my family diversity in the way of entertainment, organisations to join and interest groups. A great way to meet new people is to join a local volunteer group as small towns need the support of volunteers for organising events and fundraisers and it gave me the opportunity to make my own connections and new friends.
In hindsight, is there any advice you would have liked to have received before making the move? Or, was there some valuable advice you received prior to moving?
I wish I did have a bit of a "go to manual" in preparation for our move. There was no one in our immediate circle of friends who had made a similar move to ask advice for, so really we did just wing it and hoped for the best. There is so much to plan for like selling the house, packing, storage, moving, new schools, work, etc that at times it did get overwhelming which is why we let the process take as long as it took. So my advice would be to take it slow if you can, enjoy the process and try not to stress, it will all be ok in the end!
The House of Home team would like to very much welcome Brenda as our regular contributor and, thank her for her time and, we look forward to sharing another feature article from Brenda about her stunning home being built at 13 Acres

Children's System of Care
Welcome to the Monroe County Children's
System of Care website!
Caring for youth is what System of Care is all about.
Who are "our youth"? They are children and youth with emotional and behavioral challenges. They are young people who are not defined by their diagnosis but must learn to function day-to-day despite of it. They have personal strengths, ideas to share and dreams of achieving great things, like graduating from college, becoming a writer, getting a job, being a good parent, and more.
This page provides information on the core values and beliefs of our System of Care and opportunities for learning through trainings. All trainings are free and open to the public (including youth and their families), and are held at:
1099 Jay Street, Building J
Second Floor – Youth and Family Partnership (YFP) Board Room
Rochester, NY 14611
System of Care Values
Dig a little deeper into the core values of Monroe County's System of Care.
- Youth Guided
- Family Driven
- Trauma Informed
- Cultural & Linguistic Competence
- Community Based
- Best Practice Oriented
Youth Guided
Family Driven
Family-driven means families have a primary decision making role in the care of their own children as well as the policies and procedures governing care for all children in their community, state, tribe, territory and nation (source: National Federation of Families for Children's Mental Health - http://www.ffcmh.org/family-driven/)
Monroe County's System of Care has moved away from the traditional philosophy, which viewed mental health and other service providers as the sole "experts" of a youth's care, and instead recognizes the inherent value and insights a family member has with regard to what is "right" and "good" for their child and family when developing a service plan.
It also means that the family, along with the youth, has a voice in defining what "successful" outcomes are for their child and family.
Trauma Informed
Being trauma-informed means having a basic understanding of how trauma impacts the life of an individual seeking services. Trauma-informed systems, organizations, programs, and services are based on an understanding of the vulnerabilities or triggers of trauma survivors that traditional service delivery approaches may (unknowingly) aggravate, and seek to improve these services and programs so they can become more supportive and avoid re-traumatization.
It recognizes the need to work in a collaborative way with family, youth, community, friends, and with human services agencies in a manner that will empower consumers.
Cultural & Linguistic Competence (CLC)
Simply defined as a respect for and acceptance of difference in others. This includes, but is not limited to, respect for and understanding of ethnic, racial, cultural, religious, and other groups, as well as their histories, beliefs, languages, and value systems and having (or building) the capacity to expand on this knowledge and integrate it into all areas – policies, organizational structures, staffing, interventions, financing, and evaluation of results.
Where there used to be a "one size fits all" approach to interventions, therapies, and treatments, emphasis is placed on getting to know the youth and the family on a deeper level (building a trusting relationship) and within the context of their environment and their background.
Community Based
Defined as having mental health and related services and supports based within the family's neighborhood and community. This includes services and supports that might be considered "non-traditional" services, such as music lessons at a neighbor's home as a form of music therapy. Having services and supports in a family's neighborhood recognizes that families and youth do better when they're in a familiar environment.
Best Practice Oriented
Best practices help ensure a high quality of care that not only focuses on better youth and family outcomes but also looks at the process and infrastructure that get us there.
Being best practice oriented also means being proactive in searching for new and better ways of doing things and sharing those findings with the broader System of Care community, partners, and stakeholders.

Congregatio Missionis
Let us ask God to give the Company this spirit, this heart, this heart which will make us go everywhere, this heart of the Son of God, the heart of Our Lord, the heart of Our Lord, the heart of Our Lord which will dispose us to go as he went and as he would have gone if his eternal wisdom had judged it fitting to labor for the conversion of those poor nations (SV XI, 291).
The following of Christ, the Evangelizer of the Poor (C 1) is the driving force behind our Vincentian missionary vocation. Encounters with the most abandoned in places like Folleville and Châtillon changed St. Vincent's understanding of the gospels and led him to an ever deepening relationship with Christ the Missionary of the Father. With the aid of figures like Pierre de Bérulle, Francis de Sales and André Duval, he gradually discerned where the Spirit was leading him in life, and little by little he recognized his vocation was to participate in Jesus' mission to evangelize and serve the poor.
The first members of the Congregation shared Vincent's insight into the gospel. Inspired by his example and sensing how deeply his charism resonated in their own lives, they gathered around our founder to live out the vocation of following Jesus as evangelizers of the poor. Vincent told them: In this vocation we live in conformity with Our Lord Jesus Christ who, it seems, when he came to this world, chose as his principal task that of assisting and caring for the poor (SV XI, 108).
While the basic charism of the Congregation of the Mission was clear from the first days of its foundation, the structures and ministries which flowed from Vincent's original inspiration developed only slowly. Events, urgent needs and pressing requests constantly challenged the first Vincentians to broaden their understanding of how to live their vocation. The pioneer group of missionaries expressed the charism by preaching popular missions in the countryside. Within a few years they had assumed the work of forming the clergy. Gradually, missionaries went out beyond the borders of France to support the local Churches in Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Poland, as well as to small groups of enslaved Christians in North Africa. In 1648 Vincent, recognizing that the missions ad gentes were another, very important way to live our missionary vocation, sent the first of six groups to Madagascar.
Vincent frequently reflected on these developments in his conferences and letters, where we can note a growing appreciation for the place of foreign missions in the life of the Company. How happy the situation of a missionary whose only limit for his mission is the inhabitable world. Why restrict ourselves to one place and impose limits on ourselves in one parish if our vocation is the
whole circumference of the globe? On another occasion he remarks: What does the word missionary mean? It means one who is sent, sent by God. God has said to you: Go out to the whole world to preach the Gospel to every creature (SV XII, 27). To a group of missionaries being sent to Madagascar, he states:
According to the rules of our institute, we are obliged to attend to the salvation of souls anywhere that God calls us, above all, in places where there is a greater need and where workers for the Gospel are lacking and, knowing that in the Indies, especially in the islands of Madagascar … there is a great lack of workers and the harvest is great …we destine and send you to these people on the said islands and other parts of the Indies so that, according to the function of our Institute, you can devote yourselves to the salvation of souls with all your strength and with the help of God's grace (SV XIII, 314).
In a moment of enthusiasm, Vincent expressed to Charles Nacquart his profound appreciation for the foreign missions: There is nothing on earth I would like better, if it were allowed me, than to go as your companion in place of Fr. Gondrée (SV III, 285). Towards the end of his life, in December 1658, he made a passionate plea to maintain the ministries that had developed in the Congregation, especially the foreign missions. He defended them by pointing out that they responded to our basic call to evangelize the poor. He warned against those who would seek to curtail or abandon difficult missions because of distance, lack of personnel, or loss of missionary spirit. There will be men who coddle themselves, men who have a narrow outlook, who confine their views and designs to a limited sphere within which they shut themselves up as in a tiny circle and are unwilling to leave it (SV XII, 92).
Over the centuries the Congregation of the Mission has sought to be faithful to the legacy that St. Vincent has left us in the foreign missions. Responding to requests from local Churches and the Congregation for the
1Strictly speaking, the missions ad gentes are missions in areas where the Gospel has never been preached. There is, however, a tendency to talk about all missions in foreign countries as ad gentes. This second, less technical meaning will often be used in this document.
Propagation of the Faith, missionaries went out to Asia, Oceania, Africa and the Americas. Inspired by the Vincentian charism, famous confreres, like Sts. Justin de Jacobis, John Gabriel Perboyre and Francis Regis Clet, and many other lesser known missionaries gave their lives to preaching the Gospel in new cultures. The same Vincentian missionary charism lives on in the members of the Congregation of the Mission at the beginning of the 21st century. This Ratio Missionum seeks to offer guidelines for those serving in our foreign missions in light of the many changes that have occurred in the Church and the world in recent years.
