spot, and if their offense is high powered and entertaining, their temporary home for three seasons could, at times, sound something like an NFL stadium.
The question was: Would you want Colin Kaepernick as a backup at that time? I said yeah, sure, if I thought I had a chance to win and I thought he was serious about it, I'd be okay with it, while knowing it was an ownership decision.. The Williamses, who are not related, contend the NFL is their employer and had to comply with Minnesota law requiring notice of a positive drug test within three business days..
Players to be avoided are players that can score big points but don't score well consistently. While the ability to take great photos yourself and even have them blown design your basketball jersey online up to poster size has become markedly accessible, sports photography remains a particular challenge and it is unlikely you will get the same quality shot, even if you have great seats at a game.
The decision paves the way for the Patriots to possibly issue payments to his family. Roethlisberger shook off a pair of interceptions to throw two late touchdowns, including a 4 yard strike to Brown with 9 seconds remaining to lift the Steelers to a 31 27 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night.
The regular season opener is less than a month away and it's unclear who will play where and when. But he apparently had read or heard someone claim that he was the Other Man. America would see its first football game on television on September 30, 1939 and its first NFL game on October 22, 1939.

When running your own limited company, there are a few responsibilities that you need to take on. It all helps to facilitate the smooth running of your contractor business. We know that as a contractor you are busy working hard and using a contractor accountant can help reduce your administrative burden significantly.
One of your requirements as a limited company director is to ensure you maintain a clear record of payments and transactions from your business bank account to your personal bank account.
A few ways to make the administration and filing of this simpler is to use payment references. These don't need to be complex at all; in fact the more concise the better. Ensuring your transaction references are labelled correctly can cut down any hassle and stress later down the line should you need to go back overpayments made.
This month, our top tips blog talks you through the best payment references to use to keep banking records clean and clear:
Types of payments:
- Salary: This is a transfer to the employee(s) of your limited company to pay salary. When making a transfer from your business bank account to your personal the payment reference that you should use is 'Salary'.If you have more than one employee, you need to include their name in the reference and make each employee's transfer separately. For example, 'Salary Firstname Lastname'.
- Dividend: This transfer relates to the distribution of dividends. When making a dividend payment, you should use the reference 'Dividend'.As with salary, if you have more than one shareholder you need to include the name of the shareholder in the reference. For example 'Dividend Firstname Lastname'.Remember that when you distribute dividends to the shareholder(s) you need to ensure that the amount transferred is in line with the shareholding percentage.
- Expenses: This transfer relates to expenses that need to be repaid to the employee(s) of the company for any reimbursable expenses incurred. The reference here is 'Expenses'.As with salary, if you have more than one employee, each expense transfer will need its own transaction and a payment reference per employee. For example 'Expenses Firstname Lastname'.
- Loan: The reference 'Loan' should be used when you withdraw money from the business bank account and that transaction does not relate to any of the following:
- Salary
- Employee Expenses
- Dividends
- Business Expenses
The same reference applies when repaying a loan back into the business bank account.
By using these references you can make transferring funds and handling your business bank account easier for yourself. In addition, we can help you keep things in order by using the same payment references and take more of the administration hassle from you.

KITZBUEHEL, AUSTRIA—Italian skier Dominik Paris won his first career World Cup super-G, and Alexis Pinturault of France dominated the combined event for his eighth victory on Friday.
Two years after his victory in the classic Hahnenkamm downhill on the same course, Paris finished the Streif in 1 minute, 9.99 seconds to beat Austrians Matthias Mayer by 0.06 seconds and Georg Streitberger by 0.34.
"I had a good feeling but I didn't think I was going to win today," said Paris, who won silver in downhill at the 2013 world championships, and whose previous three World Cup wins all came in that discipline.
"I like this hill," he added. "When you are in good shape you can take risks. And I attacked it all the way down."
Paris hadn't won in his last 21 World Cups, his longest winning drought since his first victory in Bormio, Italy, in December 2012.
Lindsey Vonn sets World Cup records, wins super-G for victory No. 63
Norway's Kjetil Jansrud was 0.78 back in seventh and remained in the lead of the discipline standings with 316 points, followed by Paris with 285.
"It wasn't a perfect run," said Jansrud, a winner of two super-Gs this season. "No big mistakes but tactical mistakes. I didn't take enough risks."
The super-G was a separate World Cup race, but also counted as the first portion of the combined event, which was completed by a floodlit slalom.
Pinturault, who also won the event last year, finished in an aggregate time of 2 minutes, 1.36 seconds to defeat overall World Cup leader Marcel Hirscher of Austria by 0.69 and Ondrej Bank of the Czech Republic by 0.94.
"It wasn't easy after the tough super-G. I had to push really hard," the Frenchman said.
Hirscher, who finished the super-G 2.78 off the lead in 44th, extended his lead in the overall standings. He finished with 916 points, followed by Jansrud with 734 and Pinturault with 611.
Apart from Jansrud, most favourites for the downhill skipped the slalom to save energy for Saturday's race, the marquee event of the three-day Hahnenkamm event.
Mayer didn't compete in the slalom, either.
"Getting beaten by 0.06 is bitter," the Olympic downhill champion said. "Tomorrow is another chance for a win. I will use the afternoon for my preparations."
Ted Ligety, the world champion in super-G and super-combined, failed to finish. The American was the first starter and missed a gate after landing from a jump toward the end of his run.
Ligety's teammate, Andrew Weibrecht, placed fifth in the super-G for his career-best World Cup result.
"It's a great run for me," said the Olympic super-G silver medallist, who finished 18th in the combined event. "I was aggressive, stuck to my plan."
The super-G was interrupted for 20 minutes following a nasty crash by Switzerland's Marc Gisin, who was taken to hospital by helicopter. The Swiss ski team said Gisin had a mild concussion but escaped other injuries.

These burgers are delicious. They are a little labor-intensive, but you can freeze and reheat them for a quick, nutritious meal when you're running behind schedule. Enjoy!
From "Farmer John's Cookbook: The Real Dirt on Vegetables."
½ cup sesame seeds
1 cup sunflower seeds
1½ cups grated beets (2 medium beets)
2 cups grated carrots (about 4 carrots)
½ cup minced onion
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup vegetable oil
½ cup finely chopped parsley
3 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons tamari
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. Place a small, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and stir them until lightly browned and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a small bowl.
3. Return the skillet to the heat and add the sunflower seeds. Stir them until lightly browned and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer them to the dish with the sesame seeds.
4. Combine the beets, carrots, and onion in a large bowl. Stir in the sunflower and sesame seeds, eggs, rice, cheese, oil, flour, parsley, tamari and garlic (your hands work best here). Add cayenne and mix until thoroughly combined.
5. Using your hands, shape the mixture into 12 patties and arrange them in rows on the baking sheet.
6. Bake the patties until brown around the edges, about 20 minutes. Unless they are very large and thick, it should not be necessary to turn them. Serve alone or on buns.

Web Development
The Three Step Process
What is Web Development?
Our Process distinguishes the provision of an e-commerce solution vs. an e-commerce disguise.
Our Process enables legacy systems integration with the Digital Economy.
Our Process allows you the opportunity to follow trends - Protect your investment and share everything else. Outsourcing is the intelligent business model of today.
Our Process is a range of services designed to identify and expose the E- Readiness of your business. Our Readiness Assessment examines your business culture, software applications and technology infrastructure.
Culminating with a detailed Readiness Assessment Document, the stark reality of your readiness to operate in the Electronic Commerce World will be exposed in a candid, no holds barred approached by our e-commerce consultants.
Our experienced e-commerce consultants will embrace the results of this Readiness Assessment in the preparation of a Blueprint Document which will clearly map out a strategy for your emergence as a player in the Digital Marketplace... or should we say a Digital Player in your chosen marketplace.
Our Three Step Process
The Discovery
"Assume that you will be an e-business"
How prepared are you for the e-commerce world? The etone Readiness Assessment will give an objective view of your current business enviroment and will provide the springboard for our future engagement in your corporate etone.
You have chosen to compete in the biggest, most important race of your life. One thing is for sure, you need to be prepared.
Using our newly developed "traffic light" approach, we will closely examine your existing business operations and technology infrastructure.
Applying a:
- RED (Problem known, no current solution)
- AMBER (You have identified a solution to a known problem)
- GREEN (You are ready)
We will then expose the results of the Assessment to you and your senior management team and discuss the next stage.
The Engagement
Having gone through the Discovery / Assessment stage, we now have a clear picture of where you stand in your "Web Development" plan. In this critical phase, we will discuss:
- The development of an achievable vision.
- The development of Customer behavior, and look at the implementation of an e-commerce enviroment based on what you want your customers to do.
- Putting the right skills in place - A great strategy with poor execution means that future strategies will be based on flawed information.
Moving on to:
- Knowing your customer - What information do you need from your customer - Personal marketing.
- The design of an e-commerce operating capability that is fully integrated.
- The design of the 'Point of Arrival Vision' - What the client sees and how it operates is key to e-commerce success.
Culminating with:
- The project plan, rules of engagement (Who, What, How, Where, When, & Why?) and schedule of events.
The Delivery
This statement says it all. At the completion of the development and testing stage, we must ensure that the execution model is as good as it can be.
We will study how the system will operate for your business and confirm that all business issues have been addressed. We will insure that the correct personnel and skill sets have been deployed to deal with your impending e-commerce business.
Technology is not the barrier to the implementation of an e-commerce solution. When properly implemented, technology is 100% controllable. What we have to pay attention to and monitor is that our people have 'Got it', understand the objectives of our new business model and are comfortable with their new style of operation.

Paula - I love that about you - we should be grateful to all His creation and creatures for the parts they play.ReplyDelete
Hello dear girl.. I know how you love your little bees.. Hope the rest stay safe..ReplyDelete
That's all rather movingReplyDelete
What a wonderful way to be able to observe the life cycle of bees. I would love to get my first hive this spring. My hubby says , "go right a head but I aint goin near them" LOL He is chicken! So I guess I wil just have to find me a good teacher and do it myself. :o) I do need mor e bees in my garden.ReplyDelete
that was so sweet. they do truly toil.ReplyDelete
I know just what you mean, Paula. The Lord has His purpose for every creature He brings into the world. Even when we feel sad to lose them to death. The honeybees are some of the hardest working creatures God gave for our benefit. Our bees are worth more to us here on Pilgrim's Farm.ReplyDelete
I meant to say, our bees are worth more than gold to us here on Pilgrim's Farm. Thought I'd better to make clear what I meant.ReplyDelete
Well Paula, this just brought tears. I am sorry to say I have never thought of bee in this way. But hey, it's Gods little creature doing what God made him to do. Good post!ReplyDelete
There aren't many honey bees in our area anymore, but bubble bees work the flowers and garden plants. We had hives for a while, several years ago.ReplyDelete
This made me think of the jumping spider I used to have around the kitchen sink -- we became friends, then one day I found him dead. I fixed him in a "coffin" and my oldest daughter said this is one of the first things her husband remembers about me the first time he saw me. ;)
Sweet little bee..She died doing what she loved to do, and she did make a difference...How good of you to notice when so many others would just step over her or not even see her...Love, mareReplyDelete
I have pondered the hard work and then death of the bees my husband keeps, but never so eloquently as you. Beautiful pictures, thankful & kind words.I love this post.ReplyDelete
That was sweet...never thought about the little worker bees.ReplyDelete
Awwww...Paula-they are the sweetest little creatures. Thank you for a lovely post.ReplyDelete
Love you dear.
You have a kind, and grateful heart.
It's nice to know that you appreciate the small things.
What a nice reminder for each of us.
Smiles :)
Very nice post. Almost brought a tear to my eye.ReplyDelete
Paula, this was a very nice post. I never really thought about bees in this way. You are a sweet, kind lady.ReplyDelete
Paula, it's always sad to say good-bye even to worker bees. Daddy has kept bees for more than 70 years and I have so many fond memories of him working his bees while I stood alongside and took photos.ReplyDelete
I love your tender heart, Paula. That was a beautifully written tribute to one of God's creatures.ReplyDelete
What a sweet post Paula. Every creature big or small has a specific reason for being in this big old world.ReplyDelete
"The Fraker Farm" has been included in the A Sunday Drive for this week. Be assured that I hope this helps to point even more new visitors in your direction.ReplyDelete

I love this post. Sometimes I get sad when something seems to have passed before it's time.ReplyDelete
This almost made me cry.. I hate to see anything die.. You have such a good heart my friend.. x0x0xReplyDelete
Paula, I have never appreciated bee's like I do now. What a precious post. They deserve the acknowledgement! So sad. Makes me all the more grateful for honey & the sweet life of a worker bee.ReplyDelete
I like the new look of your blog!!! BUT WHAT!~~~ no miss Lily in the header shot??? sniff!ReplyDelete
I am sad when I see a honey bee dead, I know they do so much for us in so many ways. Not only providing pollination for the food we eat but the flowers we love to see and lets not forget the honey. GOD sure blessed us with these outstanding insects.
Hope the farm is fairing up well in this cold and Miss L is keeping you all nice and warm when she cozies up to you.
You put tears in my eyes too, Paula. You know we can learn alot from bees....I remember reading that by all normal aerodynamics, a bee is not supposed to fly, yet they do! I think you're awesome for raising bees and considering the life of the little soldier!ReplyDelete
Poor little thing. Things like this get to me too... :(ReplyDelete
You are a sweet soul dear Paula.
Paula, you are so kind to the animals. Thank you for showing me this.ReplyDelete
What a great post. Thank you for reminding us to stop and think about the little things that make our lives better.ReplyDelete
This made me so sad, Paula. I love bees, and I have had to stop feeding my hummingbirds because I absolutely had so many bees the hummingbirds couldn't feed at all. I tried putting the dish of sugarwater out for the bees, but of course, even though that dish stayed covered with them, they also remembered where the hummingbird feeders were too. I had to give up. That made me sad...for the hummingbirds AND the bees! I hate to see a dead bee, too. We need them so much, and well, they are terribly misunderstood!ReplyDelete

Prome, from the Pagoda
Photographer: Bourne and Shepherd
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1875
Photograph of Prome in Burma from the Macnabb Collection, taken by the firm of Bourne & Shepherd in the 1870s. Prome (modern-day Pyay or Pyi) lies on the eastern banks of the Irrawaddy River in the delta region of Burma and is an important trading centre between Upper and Lower Burma. The ruins of the ancient Pyu capital of Thiri Kettaya (Sri Ksetra) are nearby and there are a number of ancient pagodas in the surrounding area. The Shwesandaw Pagoda is one of Burma's most famous as it is said to contain a couple of Buddha's hairs as relics. The Pagoda sits on a hill overlooking the town and river and this photograph was most likely taken from that hill; looking down towards the wide reaches of the river beyond the forest, the rooftops of thatched dwellings and the spires of other pagodas.

Surgeries are on the upswing for men suffering from gynecomastia or excess fatty tissue in their chests. With the average cost being $6-10k for these procedures, many insurance companies do not even cover the cost and are forcing most men to have to pony up the money out of their own pocket.
In an earlier post, I wrote about what were the leading causes for this condition. While I mentioned that there were trace amounts of hormones in the water supply, the truth of the matter is that there are huge amounts of other endocrine disrupting compounds that are making their way into our municipal water supply through other sources. All these produce an overload on our liver, endocrine and lymphatic systems and because of this, the lymph glands behind the nipple area in the chests of men begin to collect fat as a result of this imbalance.
Before you consider surgery, there are steps you have to take in order to really make sure that one) it's the best solution for you and two) you will not have to have surgery again in a few years. I personally know a young good looking guy who had surgery twice within 8 years. One was liposuction and the final procedure removed his glands altogether. And he was a fairly fit guy who even modeled part time.
First and foremost, YOU HAVE TO LOSE BODYFAT! I know that's not what you want to hear but its the God's honest truth.
If you look at any of the before and after pictures on the web sites of surgery centers you will see that many of these patients are NOT LEAN! Many are either skinny fat or still carrying body fat in the high double digits. And no amount of surgery is going to help these guys to have a good looking chest.
How do you lose bodyfat quickly? Do cardio in the morning on an empty stomach. Just coffee or green tea. If you add MCT oil to your coffee like me, I would skip this on the days you are doing cardio. Either HIIT utilizing running, sprinting, hiking, spinning or even swimming- all these activities will elevate your heart and put you in the fat burning zone. By the way,you don't really 'burn' fat, you actually get the fat cell to release free fatty acids into the bloodstream so the body can use it for energy.
This is the most important aspect of losing body fat! I know many others promote resistance training as a way to burn fat. I don't believe it to be the most effective. I see many obese people doing resistance exercise who are still fat (in addition to not greatly reducing the calories they take in). The truth is that they are not doing enough cardio exercise.No amount of muscle is going to show underneath all that fat. Any muscle that you may add over a years time (1 or 3 lbs) is not going to significantly alter your metabolism the way cardio intense exercise does. Period.
You should still resistance train, but until you are around 12 % bodyfat, you should focus more on cardio. ( You can weight train in the afternoon during your lunch break or after work.) And don't be whiner about being too tired! I can't think of any time when I was tired and not looking forward to working out when I left the gym after feeling worse! Never happened!
Everyday 3-4 liters a day and 4-6 in the summer months or in regions that are hot and muggy. You have to give your body the means to flush out toxins on a cellular level. Take a magnesium and potassium supplement as well.
You should know that already. Most canned foods are high in sodium. You can add salt to your food as its prepared. And don't be afraid of iodized salt. You need iodine. You can still use sea salt as well.
Concentrate on broccoli, cauliflower brussel sprouts and other cruciferous vegetables. Make these your mainstay. you can eat others but make these 80% of you veggie consumption.
Many people don't even walk 3k steps a day. If it means getting up earlier everyday to walk an hour, do it! Once you have those out of the way, all extra steps are just helping you lose fat. A few years ago I took a 3 month trip through Europe. I hardly ever exercised during that trip in the form of resistance training. But I walked ALOT. When I was on the french beaches for holiday, someone I was with snapped a picture of me and I was amazed at how lean I was despite not getting to do resistance exercise that often.
We eat too many calories a day period. That is why we are always fighting fat uptake. A month ago did a DEXA scan and according to that test I needed a minimum 2k calories a day to maintain my present condition. What it doesn't take into account was that my lean body mass was 168 lbs and I was carrying 36 lbs of fat ( I was 2% up from my last DEXA scan of 14%) If I consume a minimum of 2k calories a day, guess what? I'm going to be looking quite the same in a few months . You can live on much lower calories than that. While on my trip, I had espresso and a croissant most mornings, a salad at lunch with wine and a fixed price meal at night with wine or a couple of beers. I was the leanest I was in a while still maintaining my lean muscle mass.I still had an athletic look ( and I could fit in clothes which I was having trouble doing because of the heavy weight training I was doing prior to the trip.)
Unless you are trying to compete in a 'body building event or want to add "20 lbs of muscle, Bro!" for god knows what reasons, most guys can consume 40-60 grams a day and still be perfectly fine and healthy while maintaining lean muscle mass.
No cottage cheese, no cream, no yogurt. You can find unpasteurized goat and sheep cheeses in most good grocery stores and you can consume that in reasonable amounts (think french)
Even though I was eating baguette sandwiches occasionally for lunch in Europe, the bread there is made more simply and the water had a lot to do with the quality of the bread. A baguette would typically have the same amount of calories as two slices of bread in America. Don't believe me? Most slices of bread are 80-150 calories per slice!
I know this goes against Tim Ferris's 4 hour body but the facts is that lignans are not your friend at all. The same with flaxseed oil. Anything with large amount of lignans is going to make your situation worse. Unfortunately, I love real peanut butter and this was the hardest thing to let go.
There are a lot of supplements touted as beneficial that really don't make a difference. Stinging nettle root, flaxseed, DIM, tumeric concoctions. They do little. The best results will be from exercise.
Doing chest exercise makes it worse. Unless you've never lifted in you life, chances are your pectorals are probably developed enough. Where most guys have failed is by ignoring upper chest, shoulder and trap development. When you lift, focus on above the head presses, shoulder raises and trap development. These will help shore up the upper body better and provide a balanced overall look that will bring the focus towards your shoulders and face.
If you follow these actions and get your bodyfat below 10%, you will be in a better position to decide whether or not you will go forward with surgery. But don't consider it until you EXHAUSTED ALL THESE STEPS!
I recently released a book available on Amazon for guys who are looking to live a life with better choices. Check it out.

January 2014
Off Piste announced as winners of the Rock It! / Redbridge Recording Studios 2013 youth song-writing competition
Three piece band, Off Piste, have been announced as the winners of this year's Rock It! youth songwriting competition delivered in association with Neil Treppas at Redbridge Studios Their original track, 'Over You' will be available to download on Itunes from 27th January 2014 (link to follow soon).
This track, along with all other recordings from our 2013 bands, is available to listen to on Sound Cloud and you can follow the band on Facebook or on Twitter as @OffPisteBand.

Off Piste are (L-R) Tom McNicholas (drums), George Rudd (guitar) and Christie O'Connell (bass, vocals). They joined the Rock It! project as young musicians in May 2012, and Christie describes their experience from the project.
"We used to play together at home before, but didn't really have any focus. This changed when we
started with Rock It! and we started to come together better as a band, writing more original music and becoming more confident in performing on stage. I learnt to play bass and we even won a local battle of the bands competition earlier this year."
George continues, "We volunteer on the Rock It! project now, helping other teenagers to learn how to play instruments and write new music, as well as helping organise events such as the annual festival. We still play gigs as a band and hope to keep working together for a long time into the future."

Who we are
Rock It was established in Bolton in 2006 and is now a Community Interest Company. The majority of our members are young people aged between 11 and 21 who want to provide new music opportunities in the Greater Manchester area.
Our members have moved on to have many successes, becoming music professionals, entering higher education and gaining the skills needed to move forward into the world of work. Our project was recently recognised by the BBC Performing Arts Fund as one of their Community Music Winners for 2012/13.
Our work comprises of three strands:
Rock School
Taking on beginners to experienced young musicians aged 11-18, we provide a 12-month rock school programme. We place participants into groups and provide professional group tuition culminating in several indoor performances, a professional studio recording and a showcase at our annual outdoor festival.
Volunteer Programme
This programme helps to develop young music leaders and music/creative industry newcomers through opportunities to shadow our Music Leaders, provide tuition, take part in a wide variety of training, lead workshops and organise our events. Many of our volunteers carry on taking part for many years and we now have young adults working with us as Music Leaders, Peer Mentors,
photographers and Company Directors.
Events Programme
Our events programme provides valuable experience for both performers and the volunteers managing the events. The main highlight is our annual outdoor festival, delivered with the support of Bolton Council.

Spanish clothing retailer Zara pioneered a model in which functions have become quicker and more centralized, while decision-making happens on the front lines.
Historically, clothing retailers interpreted trends, ordered clothes for a season and six months later put them on sale. If pieces sold out, it was too late to reorder. If they didn't sell, they went into clearance. Bad guesses produced huge losses.
Amancio Ortega thought he could reduce risk through "instant fashion."
To do it, he integrated vertically so he wouldn't have to wait for retailers to tell him what was selling. The former errand boy developed systems for on-the-spot data gathering, fast manufacturing and faster shipping.
Now Ortega has more than 1,700 stores and a market capitalization of $75 billion.

I thought I would share Matthew Santoro's video about his abuse at the hands of an ex-girlfriend. It takes Santoro some time before he is able to describe what happened to him. I have seen that before with many abused men. They are not used to talking about it, and quite often all the emotions rush forward at once.
The video has made the rounds on the internet, and I hope that more comes from it than people merely listening to him speak and saying how sorry they feel for him. People should listen to what he says about how this woman abused him. Listen to the ways in which his abuser worked. Listen to how she manipulated him and others. Listen to how she used the situation and her sex to her advantage.
These are things that male victims face. These are the things that keep many men from coming forward. Part of what makes Santoro's story so powerful is that you can see his face. You can see the affect the abuse had on him. The visual makes it harder to dismiss him.
We need to understand that domestic violence is not about male oppression of females, but about one person controlling another. It knows no sex. It is purely about power through fear.
Please take the time to listen to Santoro's story.

Get The Most Out Of Your Getaway With One Of These Tips
Travel to Singapore could be stressful for anybody. If you are not willing to face the difficulties that will arise on a trip, then it is highly doubtful that you just would find travel to Singaporeing an effective experience. However, there are many strategies which you can use to make your travel to Singapore experience, considerably more satisfactory.
To make sure you use a pleasant and safe travel to Singaporeing experience, make sure your overall health insurance is valid in america you're visiting. This will make you feel more secure, and make it easier to enjoy your holiday. It might prevent big problems down the road should you fall ill.
When selecting a location to travel to Singapore to, there is not any better source of information compared to a fellow travel to Singaporeer. Other travel to Singaporeers with a similar needs and plans, will tell you what destinations are must-sees and what areas you need to avoid. No guidebook can replace the initial-hand knowledge of somebody else or family.
When you are flying with any type of prescription medication, including birth control pills, you need to keep these inside their original containers with labels. It may also be helpful to obtain a letter through your doctor stating you have a medical requirement for the products. This way, you cannot be charged with drug smuggling.
Should you don't mind the inbox clutter, sign up for airline and hotel mailing lists when planning your trip. These lists will usually inform you in advance about promotions or offer online coupons - and they're always free. These kinds of deals goes quickly, so seeing them straight away provides you with a position when booking.
Airport food can be pricey and not all flights provide snacks while in flight. Its handy to keep a couple of sticks of jerky, a candy bar, or perhaps pack of peanuts in your wallet or purse to be able to get that quick energy boost you need without having to pay an arm and a leg or take time to buy food with a shop.
If you are intending to fly, be sure that you purchase ticket beneath the same exact name that is certainly in your identification. Airport security has risen these past years and also you don't want to get towards the airport and realize that you will be banned to fly because your ID doesn't match up to your ticket.
Using the strategies detailed above will help you to be a little more conscious of the travel to Singaporeing process and much better ready to tackle the difficulties that await you. With one of these techniques, it is very possible that you could find your travel to Singapores to get rather enjoyable. Take control over your travel to Singaporeing experience.

Trevor Hall recorded his first album at sixteen, just before he left his native South Carolina to study classical guitar at Idyllwild Arts Academy in Los Angeles. There, he was introduced to yoga and certain spiritual practices found in India, all of which has greatly influenced his music and life ever since. During his senior year, Hall signed a record deal with Geffen Records and his career as a musician formally began. In the ensuing years, he toured with artists such as Steel Pulse, The Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, Matisyahu, Michael Franti, SOJA, Brett Dennen and Colbie Callait, as well as developed a deep sense of spirituality that informed his reggae-rock compositions. In 2013, after a decade on the road, Hall decided to take a break and go on an extended pilgrimage to India. The weeks studying under a classical Baul musician born and trained in the villages of Bengal led to him retreating to the mountains of Vermont and Maine to write songs—which ended up on his most recent album "Chapter Of The Forest." The album debuted at #3 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter chart and #17 on the iTunes Overall Albums chart. This August, Hall is set to release his latest project, KALA, out August 21st.
Trevor Hall realized at a very young age that music was more than just a passion. As an eleven year old, playing harmonica beside his father in the cradle of the weeping willows of South Carolina, music quickly became his most intimate companion, guide and creative outlet. In his elementary years, he began to write his own songs and perform them locally. At sixteen he recorded his first record, and the following year he left South Carolina to study classical guitar at Idyllwild Arts Academy, an international boarding school east of Los Angeles. There, Trevor was introduced to yoga and certain spiritual practices found in India, which greatly influenced his music and his life journey. During his senior year, Trevor signed a record deal with Geffen Records and his career as a musician formally began.
Trevor quickly broke through the music scene, with such early accomplishments in his career as having a song recorded on the Shrek the Third soundtrack, as well as joining a series of sold-out tours with artists such as Steel Pulse, The Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, Matisyahu, Michael Franti, SOJA, Brett Dennen and Colbie Callait. Trevor's quick rise on the scene, however, was ripe with challenges that conflicted with his spiritual life and devotional practice. In order to parallel his life's path with the messages in his music, Trevor moved into a traditional Hindu ashram in Southern California in 2008. When not on tour, he lived as a monk and devoted his days to spiritual practice and service. His involvement with the temple affected his music and his music quickly became his practice.
Trevor Hall's music – an eclectic mix of acoustic rock, reggae and Sanskrit chanting – echo with the names and teachings of divinities, while maintaining an incredibly and refreshingly universal message. While on the road, Trevor sees the stage as his moving temple, a place where he can share in the experience of his spiritual journey with his audience. Trevor's annual trips to India also continue to serve as a source of creativity and motivation for his music. The precious lessons and experiences that he has harvested from his journeys East have moved Trevor to return a service to those whom have colored his music and his life so beautifully. Trevor uses donations collected at his live shows to help support an ashram in Allahabad, India, the home of his Guru, where underprivileged and orphaned boys and girls are given the chance at a better life and a traditional Vedic education.
In 2013 at the age of 26, after touring consistently for ten years, Trevor decided to take a break from the stage and go on an extended pilgrimage to India. There he spent many weeks studying under a classical Baul musician born and trained in the villages of Bengal. Trevor returned from his trip and retreated deep into the green mountains of Vermont and Maine where he spilled all that he had learnt onto the page and into song.
- Chapter of the Forest - released in June 2014 - debuted at #2 on the iTunes singer-songwriter chart and #17 on the iTunes overall albums chart
- Trevor's music has appeared the major motion pictures Shrek the Third and The Change Up
- "Brand New Day" featured on the album Now That's What I Call Music! 40
- "World Keeps Turning" featured on the album Putumayo World Music: Acoustic Café
- Trevor's self-titled debut album (released 2009) debuted on Billboard's Heatseeker chart at #7, he was named one of the Top 20 New Artists by Music Connection magazine
- In 2010 MTV named him one of the twenty emerging artists for 2010
- In 2012 CBS used his hit "Brand New Day" for the promo of their CBS This Morning Show

Cathedral Arts
Cathedral Music
Cathedral Arts Staff
2019 Organ Project Plan
The Cathedral's organ was built in 1902 by the Austin Organ Company of Hartford, Conn., from specifications drawn up by the church's organist, Julius Bierck. Extensive tonal alterations were made in 1978 by Brantley Duddy. In 2002, in conjunction with the reordering of the cathedral, Robert Benston Pipe Organs did restoration work on the organ, added digital stops by Walker Technical Company (including a gallery organ), and rebuilt the console, moving it to the west gallery. In 2004, a two manual wireless console was installed on the floor of the nave: it plays the organ by operating the main consoles combination action remotely.
A record of the organ's history, including the specification of the instrument as originally built in 1902, is available at this at the Organ Historical Society Database.

Me: "What, are you crazy?"
Lillian: "Yes, mama."
And crazy has to come from somewhere, doesn't it? I have spent the last several days agonizing over my NFP charts trying to discover the state of my fertility. I have tracked every variance in my waking temperature, parsed out the vagaries of cervical mucus and peered through the tiny lens of my ferning microscope. I have consulted oracles, observed the phases of the moon and read the conglomeration of tea leaves in the bottom of my tea cup. Okay, not that last part. But my midwife has told me that I have a good chance at VBAC if I wait at least 18 months to get pregnant and I am determined, by the grace of God, to follow her advice.
Nevertheless, I have also spent the last few days concocting complicated names comprised of layers of meaning (much like a fine baklava) for future children. Because that's what happens when you leave an English major librarian type in charge of creating permanent labels for people. And because ultimately, babies are always good even if they arrive outside my narrow and small-minded plans. And because I am a crazy person. So I said.
My boy name at the moment is Gilbert Keith. Gilbert because of Gilbert Blythe (be still, my literary heart), and Keith because it's my father's name. When the two combine, some magic happens and you conjure Gilbert Keith Chesterton, famed brilliant Catholic-convert essayist.
Girl name? Audrey Therese. Because Audrey is beautiful and because St. Therese is my own dear confirmation saint. Of course this is not nearly complicated enough to pass my crazy, self-important naming criteria.

This alphabet from 1780 contains yet another apparent Hooked X symbol for "a."
These are only nine of at least one hundred and twenty examples of the "X" symbol being used for the letter "a." Below is the only example I had previously seen of the "X" symbol used for "a" in a secret coded alphabet from a 15th Century Cistercian Germanic manuscript I published in my "Hooked X" book in 2009.
Two examples of complicated sigil drawings from the Icelandic manuscripts that incorporate runes and Masonic box code symbols (left), and a heavily Christian influenced drawing (right) that were both used for witchcraft and ritual magic.
These sigil drawings incorporate heavy Masonic symbolism (left) and what appear to be two Hooked X symbols in the upper right part of the upper arm (right).
One of the two Larsson Papers, dated to 1883 and 1885, using the same pentadic numbering system as found on the Kensington Rune Stone, which also contains two runic alphabets written in the "Secret Style." These alphabets which include the Hooked X for "a", along with the alphabetic box code were clearly Masonic and prove the Larsson Papers are related to both known medieval Cistercian secret coded alphabets and the recently published Icelandic secret alphabets that lean heavily on ancient runes.
These two examples of the Hooked X are found in medieval Icelandic manuscripts from 14th (Right, 1300-1400) and 15th Centuries (Left, 1490-1510).
This circa 6th century Anglo-Saxon brooch with eight symbols carved into the outer ring include a Hooked X at the 2:00 o'clock position. It was excavated next to a skull in Old Hunstanton, in Norfolk, England in 1900.
