Tuesday after the Feast of Whitsunday
Scripture: Acts 25-26 (NKJV)
25:1 Now when Festus had come to the province, after three days he went up from Caesarea to Jerusalem. 2 Then the high priest and the chief men of the Jews informed him against Paul; and they petitioned him, 3 asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem—while they lay in ambush along the road to kill him. 4 But Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself was going there shortly. 5 "Therefore," he said, "let those who have authority among you go down with me and accuse this man, to see if there is any fault in him."
6 And when he had remained among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea. And the next day, sitting on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought. 7 When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood about and laid many serious complaints against Paul, which they could not prove,
8 while he answered for himself, "Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I offended in anything at all."
9 But Festus, wanting to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul and said, "Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and there be judged before me concerning these things?"
10 So Paul said, "I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged. To the Jews I have done no wrong, as you very well know. 11 For if I am an offender, or have committed anything deserving of death, I do not object to dying; but if there is nothing in these things of which these men accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar."
12 Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, "You have appealed to Caesar? To Caesar you shall go!"
13 And after some days King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea to greet Festus. 14 When they had been there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying: "There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix, 15 about whom the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, when I was in Jerusalem, asking for a judgment against him.
16 "To them I answered, 'It is not the custom of the Romans to deliver any man to destruction before the accused meets the accusers face to face, and has opportunity to answer for himself concerning the charge against him.' 17 Therefore when they had come together, without any delay, the next day I sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought in. 18 When the accusers stood up, they brought no accusation against him of such things as I supposed, 19 but had some questions against him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus, who had died, whom Paul affirmed to be alive. 20 And because I was uncertain of such questions, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters. 21 But when Paul appealed to be reserved for the decision of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I could send him to Caesar."
22 Then Agrippa said to Festus, "I also would like to hear the man myself."
"Tomorrow," he said, "you shall hear him."
23 So the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and had entered the auditorium with the commanders and the prominent men of the city, at Festus' command Paul was brought in. 24 And Festus said: "King Agrippa and all the men who are here present with us, you see this man about whom the whole assembly of the Jews petitioned me, both at Jerusalem and here, crying out that he was not fit to live any longer. 25 But when I found that he had committed nothing deserving of death, and that he himself had appealed to Augustus, I decided to send him. 26 I have nothing certain to write to my lord concerning him. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the examination has taken place I may have something to write. 27 For it seems to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to specify the charges against him."
26:1 Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You are permitted to speak for yourself."
So Paul stretched out his hand and answered for himself: 2 "I think myself happy, King Agrippa, because today I shall answer for myself before you concerning all the things of which I am accused by the Jews, 3 especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which have to do with the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.
4 "My manner of life from my youth, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews know. 5 They knew me from the first, if they were willing to testify, that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee. 6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers. 7 To this promise our twelve tribes, earnestly serving God night and day, hope to attain. For this hope's sake, King Agrippa, I am accused by the Jews. 8 Why should it be thought incredible by you that God raises the dead?
9 "Indeed, I myself thought I must do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 10 This I also did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them. 11 And I punished them often in every synagogue and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly enraged against them, I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
12 "While thus occupied, as I journeyed to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, 13 at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me. 14 And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'
15 "So I said, 'Who are You, Lord?'
And He said, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. 16 But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you. 17 I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, 18 to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.'
19 "Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, 20 but declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance. 21 For these reasons the Jews seized me in the temple and tried to kill me. 22 Therefore, having obtained help from God, to this day I stand, witnessing both to small and great, saying no other things than those which the prophets and Moses said would come—23 that the Christ would suffer, that He would be the first to rise from the dead, and would proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles."
24 Now as he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!"
25 But he said, "I am not mad, most noble Festus, but speak the words of truth and reason. 26 For the king, before whom I also speak freely, knows these things; for I am convinced that none of these things escapes his attention, since this thing was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you do believe."
28 Then Agrippa said to Paul, "You almost persuade me to become a Christian."
29 And Paul said, "I would to God that not only you, but also all who hear me today, might become both almost and altogether such as I am, except for these chains."
30 When he had said these things, the king stood up, as well as the governor and Bernice and those who sat with them; 31 and when they had gone aside, they talked among themselves, saying, "This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains."
32 Then Agrippa said to Festus, "This man might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar."
This visit by Herod Agrippa II and Bernice would have been a customary welcoming visit to the new Governor Festus. Agrippa was the last of the Herods, and he and Bernice were brother and sister living in an incestuous relationship. The king lived in sin but, he did not live in a secular society like we do today. He was aware of his sin and he was educated in the Scriptures, so he knew what St. Paul was talking about. When Festus seems to laugh and call Paul mad, Paul counters that he is not mad. King Agrippa knew the things he was referring to. Unlike Festus, Agrippa was a native.
No doubt, the message that St. Paul preaches here pricks Agrippa's heart. He knew that it is true. He almost becomes a Christian. How often in the history of the world have men almost become Christians? The Holy Ghost pricks their hearts. They know the truth, but they want to put it off just a little while longer until they've done something or accomplished something. Or perhaps they want to follow Christ, but they want their sin more. Agrippa doesn't want to give up his lifestyle. His life would change dramatically if he were to follow Jesus. It would seem easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for this to happen.
It isn't just those great sins that keep people from becoming Christians. Even Christians let little things keep them from prayer, from reading God's Word, and from attending Divine Service.
We pray: Lord Jesus, please keep our hearts tender and open to the prompting of Your Holy Spirit. Help us to be responsive and obedient to Your teaching. Amen.

Enrichment Ideas for dogs
Your recycling container is a haven for ideas to keep your dog entertained! With all of the below recommendations, please keep the age and size of your dog in mind to ensure you don't expose them to danger. A 'soft' plastic bottle might be OK for a small breed, but a Bull breed might shred it & potentially swallow the plastic.
Scatter and hide these games around your backyard, courtyard or inside. Be sure only to hide them where you don't mind your dog going. For example, if you're trying to keep your dog away from the veggie patch, keep these games clear of there too.
Pass the Parcel
A very easy game that will keep your dog amused. Wrap layers of newspaper, with kibble or other dog treats hidden amongst the layers. Whilst your dog won't wait for the music to stop to pull it apart, he or she will have a great time getting through the layers and finding the treats in amongst all the newspaper.
Kibble in a Box
We have lots of cardboard boxes in our house each week – cereal boxes, pasta boxes, boxes that goods are delivered in. A very simple game is to throw some kibble into the box and close the top. Close the top by folding each side over and under each other. The dog may be able to pull these apart, or tear at the side of the box to get in.
Toilet Roll Surprise
A great way to make use of our empty toilet rolls. Stuff newspaper in one end, place some kibble or other treat in the middle, and stuff the other end. You'll find the dog will most likely unravel the roll rather than pull the stuffing out – whatever it takes to get to the treat inside! The empty rolls when you finish a roll of paper towel are great for the bigger breeds too.
Plastic Bottle Shake
Remove the lid and top ring from a plastic bottle (soft drink bottle, juice bottle, use your own judgement for the appropriateness for your dog), and fill the bottle with treats. It makes a great sound rolling around, and the dog will be entertained trying to flip and roll the bottle to get the treats out.
Of course there are some great products you can buy to keep your dog entertained. Some of my favourites are:
Bob-a-lot: this acts much like the bottle shake, but is a weighted toy that you fill with treats and the dog needs to roll to one side to extract the treats. It's refillable, you can adjust the level of difficulty, and it comes in a couple of sizes. Buy it for a good price at Polite Paws, but also available at lots of online and offline pet stores and vets.
Everlasting range of products: food is hidden within these toys, and the dogs need to work at them to get the food. You don't need to fill them up with the official refills either – most of them you can stuff your own kibble and treats, and keep on using them for a long time. Again Polite Paws has them at really decent prices & they're also available at many vets and pet stores.

I used Pure Innocence Kitty Costume for my card today and turned her into an Alley Cat by placing her on a brick background.
I started with a Sweet Tooth card base, then added a layer of Black Licorice and a layer of Orange Fizz. I used the Plaid Builder Background, stamped with Orange Fizz Premium Dye Ink to add the pattern around the Orange Fizz layer. I tell ya, you need the Plaid Builder Background, even if you never intend on creating plaid. It's super versatile!!! I used the new Brick Wall Stencil sponged with Sweet Tooth Pigment Ink to create the brick pattern on the layer of Black Licorice.
I stamped Pure Innocence Kitty Costume with Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-Press It Blending Card and coloured her with copic markers. I created my own polka paper for her skirt by stamping her again onto Orange Fizz, then I stamped the dots from Washi Patterns onto the skirt and cut it out. I added a little sparkle to the polka dots by going over each of them with a black Spica glitter pen.
Here's a close up of the orange border and the brick wall. The 'EEK' sentiment is from Trick or Sweet and I stamped it with Black Licorice Premium Dye Ink onto the Orange Fizz speech bubble which I cut out using the Say What? Die-namics.
On the inside I stamped Pure Innocence Kitty Costume again with Orange Fizz Premium Dye Ink and added a sentiment from the set.
You'll find more information on the MFT Blog, along with a list of today's participating designers.

News Feature
Originally published in Castine Patriot, August 30, 2018 and Island Ad-Vantages, August 30, 2018 and The Weekly Packet, August 30, 2018
Haystack announces release of Moving Forward
Haystack Mountain School of Crafts recently announced the publication of its most recent monograph, Moving Forward by Faythe Levine.
Levine was a visiting writer at Haystack from June 11-23, 2017. Her time at the school was marked by afternoon gatherings with faculty and students. These took many forms, including film screenings, conversations, musical listening sessions, walks on the beach, and were announced daily with hand-drawn signs that hung in the dining hall. Ultimately, these events were intended to foster a sense of community, and they encouraged people to interact with one another in subtle and profound ways, according to a news release from Haystack.
During her time at Haystack, Levine spoke about the impact of Black Mountain College and the writings of M.C. Richards. "Faythe had a way of helping people to understand their work as being part of this continuum and encouraging the belief that craft could be an expansive idea capable of bringing about change, both in oneself and in the world at large," Haystack Director Paul Sacaridiz said in the news release.
Towards the end of that two-week session, participants learned that Paulus Berensohn, a lifelong friend of the school, had passed away.
"As a group we took a moment to acknowledge the passion he brought to his life and his conviction in the creative potential inherent in all people. Having Faythe as a visiting writer at that particular moment felt almost serendipitous, as if a baton was being passed forward, from one generation to the next, in a spirit of true generosity and joy," Sacaridiz said.
Levine is the assistant curator at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. She is also a multimedia artist and author. Over time her work has accumulated into a large portfolio centered around ongoing themes of community, creativity, awareness, process, empowerment, and documentation. Levine's two most widely known projects, Sign Painters (2013) and Handmade Nation (2009), both feature-length documentaries with accompanying books, have toured extensively in venues such as the Museum of Arts and Design, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Victoria and Albert Museum, Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Brooklyn Museum, and Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.
Initiated in 1991, Haystack's Monograph Series provides a forum for writers of varied perspectives to reflect on the idea of craft. To purchase a copy of this, or other monographs in the collection, contact the school at 348-2306 or write to us at email@example.com.

Prince Felipe will be crowned King of Spain on 18 June at the Spanish Parliament, according to parliament speaker Jesus Posada.
King Juan Carlos announced his abdication of the throne on Monday causing shockwaves across Europe.
The governing body of Spain revealed on Tuesday that a draft law, which will allow the abdication of King Juan Carlos, will be approved first by the Congress next week, and then by the Senate, most likely on the eve of the proclamation on the 17 June.
When the draft law is put into place, the proclamation of Prince Felipe as the new King of Spain starts.
Explaining his decision to abdicate after nearly 39 years, King Juan Carlos of Spain told his people that the country"s present economic crisis requires the energy of a new generation.
He said that his son Prince Felipe who will become Felipe VI, "represents stability". He described the Prince as having "the maturity and preparation" to assume responsibility and "open the way for a new era of hope" with "the support of [his wife] Princess Letizia".
The royal patriarch was speaking during a televised address from his study, flanked by a picture of himself with his 46-year-old heir and his granddaughter Princess Leonor, who is now in line to become the Princess of Asturias, a title similar to the Prince of Wales in Britain.
The decision was taken, said the outgoing sovereign, on his 76th birthday earlier this year.
He added: "Today a new generation must come to the fore, one with new energy and the determination needed to undertake the transformation and reforms that the current circumstances demand; a generation that can confront with renewed intensity and dedication the challenges of tomorrow".

GENEVA (Reuters) - The United States has called at a meeting in Geneva for a "reset" of agricultural trade negotiations, rejecting calls from other states to push on with long-drawn-out talks on reform, a trade official said.
Traditional subsidisers such as the United States, Japan and the European Union have long resisted pressure to wean their farmers off handouts, while the United States has accused both China and India of paying far greater subsidies than allowed.
Farm talks reached a dead end last December when World Trade Organization (WTO) ministers met for their two-yearly conference in Buenos Aires but failed to achieve anything.
Five months on, negotiators met again at the WTO's agriculture committee this week but there were still wide divisions, according to a trade official who attended.
Agricultural exporters such as Australia and Brazil called for a "restart" of negotiations, with a plan to agree a "concrete step forward" at the next ministerial meeting in 2019 and "comprehensive action" at the 2021 gathering.
They warned in a statement last week that by 2030, nine big WTO members would be entitled to a combined $1 trillion in trade-distorting farm subsidies, creating risks for trade and food security.
Many WTO members called for a resumption of negotiations. Several, including China and India, said there was an existing mandate from previous ministerial meetings to discuss specific issues, giving a basis for continued talks.
But Japan said the failure of old proposals at last year's ministerial meeting suggested that new proposals were needed.
The U.S. representative at the meeting rejected the idea of jumping into negotiations too soon, the trade official said.
The United States was looking at a "reset" of farm talks and played down the urgency of negotiations, and disagreed that it was necessary to set a clear timeline. The U.S. representative said more time was needed for reflection, according to the trade official.
The European Union called for stronger political will in the negotiations, but agreed with the U.S. point that there should not be any artificial deadlines for the talks.
Agriculture has been a quagmire for WTO negotiators ever since the global trading club was set up in 1995, proving a major obstacle for a comprehensive trade reform deal.

I've been needing a new riding cap as my wool one is getting a bit too warm, luckily I entered a little photo competition on Yuba's Facebook page and won myself a very nice cotton cap. Because I have such a charming and willing model available to me, I thought I'd share this picture of Jack and I having post-nap snuggles yesterday afternoon. Thanks for the cool cap Yuba!
Prior to this, we had taken a short ride to a friends house for a play-date. It has been unusually wet weather lately for this area and it continued today, however, our timing could not have been any more perfect because as we rode up the driveway large rain droplets started to fall around us and within a few minutes a torrential rain storm ensued that would have been miserable to ride in.
I felt a complete lack of energy for the ride, I'm not sure if it's because I haven't taken a long ride in a few days or if it's because I'm still under the weather a bit, but either way I was far from energetic. I'm still having trouble with my breathing and my sinuses are clogged so I'm sure that is why. Today is our group ride and I'm hoping there is less rain and more energy- come on mother nature, work with me here!
In health related news, I have finally enlisted professional help for my journey. I found Naomi, a Holistic Health Coach, online and she is going to help me with some health issues I have and give me some much needed guidance with nutrition. I'm really excited to begin this new part of my journey and to start facing my demons head on, but I am also petrified of the change and work ahead of me. So far the only change I've made is to start keeping a record of everything I eat. Of course even that isn't as simple as it sounds, because I find myself thinking "I don't want to eat this if I have to write it down and share it with Naomi", but as that is the entire point of the food tracking, I have forced myself to be completely "normal" with my choices. Naomi has a Facebook page HERE, if you get a chance go check it out!
We've made some great friends and found excellent support in our journey and once in a while I'm able to help others, which is really cool. I wrote my post about Epiphanies of a new Cyclist just last week and was contacted by the people at San Antonio Bike Share shortly afterwards. They asked if they could use it as a guest post on their blog, and of course I said yes! Well, I literally blushed when I read their kind words and felt very re-inspired to do my best on this journey. I also fell in love with the idea of bike shares, it seems a shame to me that they are generally limited to larger cities. I know Walla Walla would benefit greatly from a bike share, people could use them to visit all the wineries! San Antonio's program seems to be an extremely good value to me and I know I would utilize such a program even if I had my own bike, I'd love the idea of jumping on a bus and heading downtown to rent a bike and explore.
Today will be a busy day if we get to do our organized family ride...I say "IF" because as I type this and glance out the window, the sky is chock full of rain clouds. All this rain is quite out of the ordinary for this part of Washington and is far more suited to the western side of the state, still within a few weeks we'll all be complaining about it being too hot!

Users of the Firefox web browser on Windows can now dump Adobe Flash and still watch H.264-encoded videos online. Fresh overnight builds of Firefox 20 will now play footage found on HTML5 websites, such as YouTube and Vimeo, that use the video codec - without the need for Adobe's oft-criticised plugin, which also supports H.264.

Since the discovery of antibiotics is an ongoing debate about whether or not to take these drugs as ARVI, colds and flu treatment. If necessary antibiotics may be applied viral diseases treatment, they are effective.
Antibiotics: Mechanism of Action
Today, people have successfully used various antibiotics to suppress the infection, fungal flora and even tumor formation. Antibiotics may be of natural or semisynthetic origin, that is created using chemistry. The first penicillin substance capable of destroying bacteria, was discovered in 1929 by Englishman – Fleming, then antibiotics began triumphal procession around the world.
Thanks to the idea of applying them, thousands of children and adults were rescued from inflammations and infections. In wartime antibiotics defeated gangrene and septic complications of wounds. After the Second World War antibiotics properties investigation was continued, so new drugs effective against pneumonia, purulent and bacterial infections of various origins have been developed.
All antibiotics are able to kill, destroy, suppress the activity of microorganisms, so they are very effective against bacteria fungi tumors that represent cell formation. While influenza virus is not a cellular structure and functions, penetrating into the host cell and parasitizing them it makes no sense to use antibiotics against them. Antibiotics do not have any influence on:
- cold;
- flu;
- acute respiratory viral infection.
But they can be used if there were any kind of complications, and the virus is now considered to be bacterial infection. Only in this case, the drug will be effective and will help to get better faster.
How to Recognize Influenza Complications
To avoid secondary infections after flu, doctors recommend strict compliance of bed rest for disease's entire period, that is, for about a week. At this time, flu, cold or ARVI can be treated by antiviral drugs accompanied with ample drink for detoxifying and breakdown product and symptomatic remedies of Canadian Health and Care Mall application for pain and fever decrease.
Typically, flu begins without catarrhal manifestations, but already on the 2-3 day of illness runny nose, cough, sore throat appear. If the patient does not disturb regimen, it is likely that these symptoms will take place for maximum a week. But if you have an illness on foot, the following complications may be observed:
- pneumonia;
- bronchitis;
- otitis media (middle ear infection);
- sinusitis;
- myocarditis;
- pericarditis;
- kidney infection;
- meningitis.
These diseases manifest themselves in:
- high fever;
- general ache;
- catarrhal symptoms.
Infectious process is always characterized by high fever and feeling sick, so if flu fever lasts for a long time, amplifying the evening, it is time to become concerned. It is also necessary to worry if the patient has felt well, and suddenly illness came back – it can happen at 7-10 days after the onset of ARVI or influenza.
It is especially important not to miss complications development at children. After flu there may appear pneumonia, bronchitis and otitis. Therefore, parents need to be careful with any kind of cold. If cold or chill appear antibiotics of Canadian Health and Care Mall are necessary. But doctor should appoint them and choose the treatment regimen.
It is necessary to get an appointment to select medicines that will be most effective. Modern quickly relieve symptoms means contribute to pain disappearing and temperature dropping. Nevertheless, it is necessary to take medicines immediately, did not give enough time to micro-organisms to develop resistance to antibiotics.
What Will Help Cope with Flu?
Use antibiotics as flu treatment are equally useless for adults and children. However, there are modern drugs designed specifically to combat viral infections. They successfully resist influenza, ARVI and cold. Antiviral drugs can:
- destroy viruses;
- actually increases interferon-protective protein production.
Antiviral drugs admission should be started taking in as soon as possible, no later than two days from disease's onset. It is recommended to give them to children, elderly patients with chronic diseases, who are more difficult to carry viral attack and are prone to complications.
Regarding antiviral drugs, some therapists and pediatricians believe that a healthy body of adults or children does not need a strong medical support and it is quite capable of coping with the virus by its own, if it is a simple cold or flu.

Weddings involving animals are always more fun — in fact, it is one of my favorite styles. This wedding was with the participation of a charming white horse, there was a lot of beautiful photo props and an unforgettable night atmosphere with clowns and fireworks.
The ceremony was held Church at Main.st. Anna's friends helped her to get ready for one of the best moments of her life. The excitement in the air is palpable — you can feel it radiating off everyone. Anna herself was a vision — the gown looked stunning on her as you can see, with the sweetheart neckline showing off a hint of skin for a subtly seductive appeal. Big jewelry and veil in place, and she was all set to walk the aisle. Also, groom looked smart and suave — he was confident and poised to be joined in «holy matrimony» with the love of his life.
The mood was happy and relaxed as the bridesmaids and groomsmen. The ring bearer and flower girl looked exceptionally cute! Soon the rings had to be exchanged, vows said, and it was time to be «man and wife»
The photoshoot took place behind at the Bride and Groom house. The place is amazingly decorated and provided with the ideal backdrop for taking some lovely candids. Wedding colors consisted of white, light yellow, and silver — the shades blended beautifully to create some great pictures.
The wedding in the tent is a remarkable place for reception parties. After a round of exquisite photos of the couple, it was time for celebrations. Cold cuts, griled salmon, and a variety of mouth-watering dishes awaited everyone. Apart from that there was dancing, toasts by the best man and maid of honor, along with the cutting of the whopping cake under the night sky! You can see how Ruslan and Anna are loved ones are enjoying to the fullest — their beaming smiles speak a thousand words!

Sunday was the first time I'd been down to the sailing club for a while, probably since last year actually, but although still only 6 degree's or so it was great to see four Mach 2's in the form of Geoff Carveth, Mike Lennon, Graham Simmonds and Jason Russell diligently practicing in the blustery conditions. I admire them, it is still too cold for me. Not that I have a boat, my current Mach 2 will soon be on its way to Spain to meet its new owner Andreas John, and the new one doesn't get shipped until around the 12th of March. I paid for it the other day although the way I was feeling after the gym I briefly considered using the money as downpayment for a room at "Shady Pines".
Anyway this is what the new 2011 Abarth Mach 2 Moth will look like and apologies to Mike Lennon (I think) for the identity fraud.
This season will be good, I plan to do the Hayling Island and Parkstone opens, the UK Nationals, Mothfest and the Europeans, I'm looking forward to racing again. I don't like standing on the shore.

The PlayStation Gets Its Own 3D HDTV
Buried between the 3D PlayStation game trailers and the PlayStation Vita reveal, Sony on Monday announced a very interesting pair of products for PlayStation fans.
The company will release a PlayStation-branded 3D HDTV and PlayStation-branded active shutter glasses, adding to the line of PlayStation-branded home entertainment products that began with the PlayStation soundbar last year.
The PlayStation 3D Monitor is a 24-inch 3D HDTV targeted toward gamers and sized for ideal use in dorm rooms and small apartments. The screen can display 3D video, including 3D games on the PlayStation 3, plus two different 2D video streams in a new display mode that shows two completely different pictures depending on which pair of active shutter glasses you're wearing. It lets two players in the same room play using the entire screen, instead of a split-screen view. Assuming it works, it's a brilliant idea that should have been implemented long ago.
The 3D Monitor won't come with a PlayStation 3, but for $499 the HDTV ships with a copy of "Resistance 3" for the PS3, an HDMI cable, and a pair of active shutter glasses. The glasses themselves are new, PlayStation-branded models that will be available for $69 a pair. The screen isn't huge, but the price and the features are certainly appealing. Stay tuned to PCMag for our PlayStation 3D Monitor review.
Also on Monday, Sony announced the PlayStation Vita, which will have an OLED touch screen, dual analog sticks, back-mounted touch panels, and front- and back-facing cameras. The Wi-Fi-only version of the PlayStation Vita will retail for $249.99, and the Wi-Fi/3G version will retail for $299.99.

Dramatic footage has emerged of commuters in Dublin miraculously freeing a schoolgirl caught under a tram.
In an incident during the morning rush hour, the girl was involved in a collision with a Luas tram.
She became trapped between the tram and the platform and unable to dislodge herself.
The video shows commuters desperately trying to release the terrified girl by pushing the tram away from the platform.
After several attempts they succeeded and the screaming girl was pulled clear.
She suffered minor leg injuries and was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure.
The Luas light railway system connects east and south Dublin with the city centre.
The operator has said it will review the footage to investigate the cause of the incident.

'Immutable Dusk' is the band keeping to tradition for the most part but with a couple of new ideas poking through. The opening riff is glaringly 'Pelican' with its dense and trudging tone and while the band are no stranger to peaks-and-valleys structures, the trough of 'Immutable Dusk' sees Pelican delve into even more dreamier terrain, which really makes this track interesting. The lead riff harnesses the heaviness of earlier material like Australasia with the shimmering melody of What We All… and City of Echoes to skilful effect.
Listen for yourselves below and check out the artwork while you're at it.

This week, the Texas House passed HB 823 by Representative Terry Keel (R-Austin), an NRA-supported bill which takes important steps toward clarifying that law-abiding Texans may carry handguns for protection in their vehicles without Concealed Handgun Licenses (CHLs). The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration.
The House also approved SB 734 by Senator Tommy Williams (R-The Woodlands), NRA-backed legislation which allows property owners to continue hunting on their land, or leasing it out to sportsmen, even if they are annexed by a municipality with an ordinance banning the discharge of firearms. A floor amendment was added by Representative Charlie Geren (R-River Oaks) which adds "wildlife management" to the list of activities protected under Texas` "Right To Farm" Act. The bill now goes back to the Senate for concurrence.
The Senate Veterans Affairs & Military Installations Committee cancelled their meeting this week, so hearings will now take place on Wednesday, April 27, on HB 322 by Representative Suzanna Hupp (R-Lampasas) and Senator Craig Estes (R-Wichita Falls), which lowers the minimum age requirement and CHL fees for military personnel, and HB 685 by Representative Patrick Rose (D-Dripping Springs) and Senator Leticia Van de Putte (D-San Antonio) which eliminates the range instruction portion of the CHL course for military personnel with recent handgun training. Please continue contacting committee members and urging them to support these two bills for our soldiers and veterans.

Early birthday surprises came in the form of bouquets and bouquets of flowers, gourmet aperitifs, elaborate balloons in shades of pink and red, and even a Santo Nino statue for "Queen of All Media" Kris Aquino, who has yet to celebrate her 47th birthday this coming Valentine's Day.
Aquino took to Instagram yesterday to thank her friends and family, as well as her endorsements for sending treats her way in light of her approaching birthday.
"I want to say THANK YOU to my #KCAP (Kris Cojuangco Aquino Productions)," wrote Aquino in gratitude. "They had to adjust & shoot 2 print endorsements here at home I was so pleasantly surprised w/ the early birthday surprise."
Much has been going on with Aquino lately, whose schedule is packed to the brim with endorsements and projects. Yet, despite her being as busy as ever, Aquino doesn't forget those who mean the most to her, her family, especially when it comes to their own milestones and special moments.
Older brother former President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, celebrates his birthday this month as well, turning 58 last Feb. 8. Kris did not falter in sending a heartfelt birthday message to her kuya, uploading a throwback picture of him from when he was a baby.
"You all have to agree, he was 1 cute baby!" Kris wrote of her brother Noynoy. "To the man who possesses so many qualities I still need to grow up enough to possess, namely humility, natural simplicity, undemanding ways, liking a low profile and privacy, and really having had no other desire but to give true and dedicated public service, my only wish is good health, peace of mind, and that true & lasting love."
Meanwhile, older sisters Aurora Corazon"Pinky" Abellada, Victoria Elisa "Viel" Aquino-Dee, and Maria Elena "Ballsy" Aquino-Cruz met Caroline Kennedy, the only surviving daughter of the late former President of the United States John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Onassis.
Kris, unfortunately, missed the meeting due to her very low blood pressure, but expressed that it was an honor nonetheless that Caroline Kennedy specifically requested to meet the Aquino sisters.
"My ideals about govt service and dealing with family tragedy with grace & dignity have been shaped by their example," wrote Kris last night, referring to the Kennedys. "Super nagpa kwento nalang ako-they (her sisters) all said she (Caroline Kennedy) was humble, eloquent, regal, and yet you feel her desire to do more good in the world." /ra
