The website dedicated to Irish hero soldiers who died in U.S. uniform in the Korean War has been obscured by web-related advertising.
And nobody can explain how, or why.
The website was established after the long but ultimately successful campaign to bestow posthumous U.S. citizenship on 28 young men who fought and died in the 1950-53 conflict dubbed the "Forgotten War."
Now it is their memory that could be forgotten as the website in smothered by an ad that pops up seconds after viewers are given a tantalizing glimpse of the photos and histories of the men who served in the U.S. Army and Marines.
The site, which was largely the work of the late Brian McGinn, also includes the stories of Irish missionary priests in Korea and Irish who served in Vietnam.
One of the soldiers now hidden by the ads is Corporal Patrick Sheahan from County Kerry. Sheahan was one of the Korea heroes made a posthumous citizen at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. in October, 2003.

And he was a hero in every sense of the word. He won the Bronze Star and later Silver Star and a new campaign is now underway in an effort to secure him the Congressional Medal of Honor.
As it currently stands, more of Sheahan's life and death on a battle-blasted Korean hillside can be gleaned from his gravestone in Kerry.
The website address is www.illyria.com but quickly changes to irishinkorea.org. Momentarily, it looks like a match between address and content as there is a heading atop the screen of "Irish Korean War Dead."
But what then flashes on below is a page covered by a series of ads for web hosting services. This extends to a second page at the bottom of which there is a copyright notation stating "2011 Irish Korean War Dead." Three small ads, which change at periodic intervals, are also visible at the top left corner of the first page.
A number of people familiar with the site and who have opened it up recently have expressed shock at the changes.
John Leahy, A Kerry native and Korean War veteran who led the posthumous citizenship campaign, said he was absolutely mystified by the changes to the site.
"I can't believe what I'm looking at," Leahy told the Echo.

My favourite perfume reminds me of summer and although it's nowhere near that time of the year, a hint of the colour orange in my wardrobe always helps to lift the mood and remind me that the winter is almost over.
I don't usually like bright colours, but orange (in moderation) seems to suit me. It also complements my favourite colour – navy, which I wear in abundance all year through and the general subdued colour palette of my wardrobe.
There was actually a time when I sported a strong dislike for this colour. Unlike the cosmetic of pink for example, orange went against my idea of aesthetically pleasing colours. I started thinking about this colour again after reading Huysman's infamous novel Against the Grain. Dislike evolved into a love-hate relationship and now I accept it into my wardrobe as a contradiction that somehow feels natural.
"All these colours being rejected, three only were left, viz. red, orange, yellow.
Of these three, he preferred orange, so confirming by his own example the truth of a theory he used to declare was almost mathematically exact in its correspondence with the reality, to wit: that a harmony is always to be found existing between the sensual constitution of any individual of a genuinely artistic temperament and whatever colour his eyes see in the most pronounced and vivid way.
In fact, if we leave out of account the common run of men whose coarse retinas perceive neither the proper cadence peculiar to each of the colours nor the subtle charm of their various modifications and shades; similarly leaving on one side those bourgeois eyes that are insensible to the pomp and splendour of the strong, vibrating colours; regarding therefore only persons of delicate, refined visual organs, well trained in appreciation by the lessons of literature and art, it appeared to him to be an undoubted fact that the eye of that man amongst them who has visions of the ideal, who demands illusions to satisfy his aspirations, who craves veils to hide the nakedness of reality, is generally soothed and satisfied by blue and its cognate tints, such as mauve, lilac, pearl-grey, provided always they remain tender and do not overpass the border where they lose their individuality and change into pure violets and unmixed greys.
The blustering, swaggering type of men, on the contrary, the plethoric, the sanguine, the stalwart go-ahead fellows who scorn compromises and by-roads to their goal, and rush straight at their object whatever it is, losing their heads at the first go-off, these for the most part delight in the startling tones of the reds and yellows, in the clash and clang of vermilions and chromes that blind their eyes and surfeit their senses.
Last comes the class of persons, of nervous organization and enfeebled vigour, whose sensual appetite craves highly seasoned dishes, men of a hectic, over-stimulated constitution. Their eyes almost invariably hanker after that most irritating and morbid of colours, with its artificial splendours and feverish acrid gleams,–orange."

I wont say much about the soccer, apart from the fact I feel awful sorry for the amount of abuse Arsene Wenger is getting, fair enough things arent going well but he deserves the utmost respect IMO, hes done a hell of a lot for Arsenal - all that good work doesnt just get threw away after three games. But sometimes too, you have to love Wayne Rooney..
Anyway, Dublin conspired to feck up my HT/FT time bet, I'm not complaining too much as they didnt cover the handicap either. Not sure what to make of the performance, but a couple of good/bad points..
1) IMO, they were completely bottling it the first half, and would have got hammered by a stronger team.
2) They didnt score a point from play until the 59th minute. At any level, thats shite.
3) I thought they did well to comeback from three points down midway through the second half - I wouldnt have given them the backbone to do that before the game. Deserve a bit of credit there because that was very un-Dublin-like over the last few years.
4) Donegal only scored six points, that doesnt win games, so Dublin were lucky in that sense. Having said that Dublin only scored eight, that doesnt tend to win games either!
5) Donegal have a good defense yes, but Kildare scored 14 points against them in the Quarters, you'd expect Dublin could have done the same, at least, so it was pretty poor by anyones standards.
6) Obviously Kerry will be favourites for the final, and I reckon that will suit Dublin being underdogs. They definitely have the talent to win, whether or not they have the balls is another thing. Playing against anyone else today and we'd be sat here saying "classic Dublin bottling it again."
7) Looking forward to the Kerry v Dublin final!
So that was minus €90.50 with Paddy Power anyway, but the cricket has gone well this week. Someone commented last week "Bet you wish there was an England test every week" I really do! Life would be great if that was the case.
I said last Sunday I had a sneaky feeling for the draw and that was stopping me having all my green on England - very lucky I didnt because the draw went from 3.3 to 1.11 before India collapsed, could have easily ruined the book with that move.
The next Test series is between Sri Lanka and Australia, although I've clocked that its actually monsoon season, or as they call it, intermonsoonal season.. "The second season occurs in October and November, the intermonsoonal months. During this season, periodic squalls occur and sometimes tropical cyclones bring overcast skies and rains to the southwest, northeast, and eastern parts of the island." What sort of fecking eejit schedules a Test series in a monsoon season? FFS. No real surprise to see the market already like this days before the start..
EDIT: I copied and pasted the wrong season, doh! The first is from mid-May to October, when winds originate in the southwest, bringing moisture from the Indian Ocean. When these winds encounter the slopes of the Central Highlands, they unload heavy rains on the mountain slopes and the southwestern sector of the island.
Its at that stage of the year where laying the draw sub evens on the 1st day isnt such a good idea anymore, well not as much as the English summer anyway. It starts a 5-30 in the morning too, joy! Another small point about the possible pitch, the last Test match played at Galle saw Windies post a score of 580, you can be pretty sure the pitch is flat when Windies score 580..! That was the 15th of November 2010. If I was Sri Lanka I'd prepare a complete turner - Aus didnt play spin well in the T20s and ODIs, plus they havent got any real class spin bowling either.
Speaking of T20s, yesterday we had the English finals day - both semi finals finished ties, the first one didnt overly bother me, the second one did though, Somerset needed 6 off 8, then 2 off 4 FFS..
Head in hands.
Naturally lots of talk about covering the tie afterwards. Its all only a matter of opinion and whatever side of the fence you sit on really, I personally dont cover it, but 90%+ of the time I'd have all my green on one team anyway so it wouldnt make much sense. Statistically speaking, before yesterday there have been 39 ties in 2367 T20 matches, 39 goes into 2367 60.69 times, so in order to be getting "value" (I cant believe I just used that word, ugh!) you'd want to be getting matched on Betfair at 65. Now the actual chances of getting matched at 65 on a low liquidity market are pretty slim IMO, you'd almost have to back it before the game starts or during the first innings or something - you might not even be equal green match odds at that stage. After the three games, 41 goes into 2370 57.80 times, so you'd want 60 on Betfair, still the actual chances of getting fully matched are slim.
Plenty of people yesterday said "oh, you could have easily covered at 1.02 blah blah blah.." Well, youre backing a 65/1 shot at 50/1, and people always bang on about "value" thats not great is it, losing 15 points. My opinion on value is, everyones views of what is "value" will be different naturally so theres no point for all the arguing, just get on with it.
The only way you can learn to do something is by doing it anyway IMO, so after a while you learn what to do and what not to do, you cant just walk into a room and have someone tell you "thats value, that isnt.." because when theyre not there, and every single game is different, what do you do then? It just doesnt work like that because everyone thinks and sees the world differently, you can never have someone tell you what to think. And if you think about it, if everyone disagrees with you, you'll get a bigger price and win more money..

Avid follower of your Blog Stephen, top work all round.ReplyDelete
Have just started my own blog and would appreciate a link exchange
Galle is a pretty wet place and heavy tstorms occur all year round, but this is one of the driest times of the year. I doubt we will lose more overs than recent Test matches in England.ReplyDelete
Cheers Phil, still not sure about laying the draw though, tough call really.ReplyDelete
No problem Neil will do, good luck with the blog!
I don't know what strategies you use to trade Test matches, but as I make similar amounts to you, I expect our approaches have similarities.ReplyDelete
One of the things I do is trade weather uncertainty. Weather uncertainty is high for this Test match due to the uncertain nature of tropical weather and poor weather tools (radar and longer range forecasts) for SL. Which makes the draw value.
lay the draw when it rains and back the draw when it stops raining.

Memories Are Made While Being Outside
By Kendall Vogts
Being married to the editor, you think it'd be easy for me to come up with a topic to write about each month. Sometimes, I even say, "Give me a topic!", and he will usually come up with something helpful. But as we are both sprinting toward summer and the end of our school year, our minds are going in, what seems like, 15 different directions. So when he gave me the topic "Summer Lovin'", I repeated my request. "Give me a topic!" To which he replied, "…Had me a blast." And while I would love to write about Grease or how much I loved watching Grease Live, I wasn't sure how I would attempt to connect to you through that piece.
Even though his suggestion was less than helpful when it came to writing an entire piece about the topic, his idea did give me a push towards thinking about the things that I love to do during the summer, which brought on more thinking and reminiscing about what my summers growing up looked like.
I've been really sentimental lately, as I am entering my summer break.
Now, yes, I went swimming, hung out with friends and went on trips with my family, but there are simple things done during past summers that have made quite an impact on who I am today. The first of those items being a chore done everyday during the summers of my childhood.
Now, my father is outdoorsy. Not in the camping, hiking, fishing sense, but in the mowing, gardening, going on walks, watering flowers, trimming hedges, landscaping kind of way. Each morning during the summer, my dad would call, probably hoping to wake me up, to give me instructions as to what I was supposed to water and when. "Ken, water the flowers on the east side of the house now. Then sometime before lunch, water the bushes on the south side and the bushes on the west side of the house. Make sure you don't forget!"
So, I would slip on my flip-flops, and go to it; dodging bumble bees and waving at neighbors as they drove by. Then, I didn't see the value in having these chores. I not-so-secretly hated doing these tasks for my dad, but, as I think back to it and now that I am grown, I truly appreciate the time spent in the beauty that was and still is our yard! He is the best landscaper that I know, and now that the editor and I have a new house that has absolutely nothing of a yard, I have very high expectations for how my yard and landscaping will look. Needless to say, my husband is more than willing to let my dad help out!
Another common, summer activity for me was going to the lake, and it is still one of my favorite things to do. I have such a romanticized view of the lake. I always was and still am more than willing to spend my entire day on the boat! Sit in the sun, talk with family, watch other boats troll by, take the occasional dip in the lake, switch out a cousin for the jet skis . . . Now that is my idea of the best summer afternoon!
Now that I am grown, I look back on times spent at the lake with the same sentimentality as I am feeling now at the school year ends. My heart wells up, and there is that little flicker of excitement mixed with, what seems like, a mental PowerPoint of good memories!
One of my family's favorite things to do is to play games while we are there! In particular, to play sand volleyball. We get all of the kids, aunts, uncles and grandparents out there. There have been times of so much laughter that we have had to take a break from the game and attempt to come back and finish later after we've all calmed down!
Thinking of past memories and the simple tasks and activities that take place during the summer really have me excited! Whether it's admiring my dad's landscaping or planning for my own, a cruise around the lake on my uncle's boat, taking a walk with my mom, eating a meal outside on the patio furniture, or walking through the zoo, those are the things that make summer for me!
So yeah, I am summer lovin', and I will have me a blast!

Illinois Assault, Aggravated Assault and Battery Definitions
Assault and battery are related crimes, but they don't have the same definition. In Illinois, assault and battery aren't the same criminal law waukegan il act. They are separate crimes. For instance, a person can be charged with assault, battery or both crimes depending on the type of the case facts.
What is Criminal Battery in Illinois?
Criminal battery occurs in one of two ways. A person is accused of causing bodily injury to another individual. Bodily injury can range from bruising to broken bones. A person can also be charged with battery if they insult, provoke or have unwanted physical conduct with an alleged victim.
What is Criminal Assault in Illinois?
Criminal assault is the misdemeanor charge. It is defined as behavior that places another person in reasonable apprehension of a suffering a battery. This means the defendant confronts a victim in such a way that they believe they're going to be hit or suffer bodily harm. The defendant doesn't need to touch the victim to be accused of assault.
What is Aggravated Assault in Illinois?
Aggravated assault refers to the crime of placing a victim in fear of a battery. Instead of using mere words, the defendant uses a deadly weapon or explosive device. For instance, the defendant allegedly waved a bat around as he placed the victim in fear of a deadly assault. The bat would be considered a deadly weapon. Someone can be charged with this crime if a child or police officer was the victim of an assault.
Assault and Battery Conviction Penalties
An assault is a Class C misdemeanor charge. An assault conviction will result in 30 days in jail and/or a $1,500 fine. An alternative sentence may be community service ranging from 30 to 120 hours. A battery conviction is a Class A misdemeanor. A Class A misdemeanor is punishable by at least one year in county jail and/or $2,500 fine. Aggravated assault is also a Class A misdemeanor. It carries the same criminal sentence as the battery. Depending on the facts of the case, an assault or battery may increase to a felony. A felony is more than one year in state prison. For example, if a person is charged with a Class 2 felony aggravated battery it is 30 years in prison.
Defenses for a Battery or Assault Charge in Illinois
The exact defense to use to challenge the state's case will depend on the circumstances of the case. Self-defense is one defense to use. Self-defense claims the defendant was defending themselves from harm and the "victim" was the perpetrator. Consent is another defense. It alleges the victim agreed to the battery. Lack of reasonable apprehension is also a defense to assault. This means the victim was in fear of a battery. It's important to contact a defense lawyer to determine the appropriate defense to use in an assault, aggravated assault or battery charge.…

Good Tomatoes in Great Gratin
I found a Vanilla Ice CD on Ebay for $.01. I can't think of anything else that costs so little, but apparently that's all a recording of a past-his-prime pop star can command these days. The tomatoes hanging around the farmers market this time of year in the Northeast, if there are any at all, are not as pretty as they used to be. They are like old pop stars now past their primes, and upstaged by the fresh heirloom kale and beets now making their way up the charts. But I sometimes take pity on the little guys. And while I probably wouldn't serve them plain (as I might in the summer), they have great potential that can be easily realized in the right dish.
A Tomato Gratin is a great way to welcome the cooler weather. Last year, I wrote about different ways to use leftover breadcrumbs in The Breadcrumb Diaries and one of my favorite uses to this day, is to use them to top gratins of different kinds.
This gratin is very simple to make and very easy to shop for. If you don't see tomatoes at your market, try asking your farmer. She might have some in the truck waiting for a good home. If she does, grab 5 or six of them, preheat your oven, and get ready to play that funky music.
Tomato Gratin
Preheat oven to 400
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a small skillet
Chop a large onion and sauté for 10 minutes or until very soft
Slice 5 or 6 large tomatoes and set aside (these can be red, yellow, or even green)
Grate 4 ounces of firm, sharp, local cheese into a bowl and add ¾ cup of breadcrumbs
Drizzle olive oil into a 9 x 9 inch baking dish
Layer tomatoes along the bottom
Add a teaspoon of the sautéed onions
Sprinkle the first layer with a pinch of salt, a bit of pepper, and a tablespoon of the breadcrumb mixture
Drizzle with a bit more olive oil
Repeat until tomatoes reach the top of the pan
Use remaining breadcrumbs and cheese to top the tomatoes and finish with a final drizzle of olive oil
Bake gratin for 15 minutes
If top is not brown, increase heat to 450
Bake for another 10 minutes
Let cool for at least 20 minutes before serving

Psalm 23:1—The present tense verb "is" means, "the Lord is shepherding me," indicating an ongoing relationship. Eastern shepherds guarded their sheep, led them, provided food and water for them; took care of them when they were wearied, bruised, cut or sick; rescued them when they strayed; knew their names; assisted in delivering the lambs; and in every way simply loved them.
23:4b—Sheep lack good vision and are easily frightened in new circumstances, especially when it's dark. The presence of the shepherd calms them.
O Heavenly Father, we ask you to wrap Your Loving Arms around us today. You are close to the brokenhearted and You save those who are crushed in spirit. You are our Shepherd, we lack nothing. You make us lie down in green pastures, You lead us beside the still waters. You restore our souls. You lead us in the path of righteousness for Your name's sake. Even when we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil, for You are with us. You are Emmanuel, God with us, we are absolutely certain, You are with us at this time. Your rod and Your staff, Your Holy Spirit and Your Word, they comfort us. You prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies. You anoint our heads with oil, our cup overflows with blessings. Surely goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

We have worked with John a few years now doing our SEO work.
He is always very helpful, explains things fully and comes up with new ideas to help our business. Would highly recommend.

I've been around the block when it comes to seo companies and I guarantee that none of the local competitors are as good as Lojix. Lojix achieved more for me in a month than top local competitors achieved in a year. There was a sometimes frustrating corporate vibe at my last company, but there's a more personal feel to Lojix.

"Results speak for themselves, since we started working with Lojix our rankings have improved and training sales increased by 20% per annum.
Great communications, proactive service, always looking to improve rankings with suggestions and ways to grow our market share to the next level."

Ive Been using Lojix seo services for about 4 years now, they always deliver would highly recommend any companies out there finding it hard to get on Google page 1, these guys will get you there.
5 out of 5 starsposted 2 years ago
We've been with Lojix for about 2 years. They were recommended by our web developer and he was not wrong. Having joined the Lojix team we found ourselves very quickly on Google page 1 with both Google Shop and Google Ads for just about every product we sell (over 300), and for by far the majority of our products we also feature organically on page 1 or 2 - that's even more satisfying and clearly demonstrates the sound advice and support they're able to provide website administrators. As a consequence our sales have rocketed. Lojix have a very understated approach i.e. they are not the flashy, pushy, irritating sort of SEO organisation that pester businesses every day, promising the earth but usually delivering nothing. No. Lojix just get on with the job, quietly and professionally, responding quickly to any product adjustments required or to the need to adjust bids on Ads. etc. We would wholeheartedly recommend Lojix to any business looking for an organisation that can actually deliver, and deliver without compromising your profit!

The primary purpose of this article is to expand the discussion about the role of science, clinical thinking, the state of the discipline, and the manner in which evidence-based practice may aid in the development of the field of sport psychology. Rejecting pseudoscientific principles and embracing sound scientific standards of research and practice will result in an increasingly fresh and vibrant field from which greater innovation and evolution can occur. This innovation will inevitably lead to a renewed commitment to theory building, as the evolving scientific database will drive new ways of thinking about the myriad of issues presented by athletic clientele. By embracing the evidence-based practice philosophy, not only will sound scientific advancements emerge, but most importantly, the overall well-being of our athletic clientele will be enhanced.

Bioinformational theory has been proposed by Lang (1979a), who suggests that mental images can be understood as products of the brain's information processing capacity. Imagery involves activation of a network of propositionally coded information stored in long-term memory. Propositions concerning physiological and behavioral responses provide a prototype for overt behavior. Processing of response information is associated with somatovisceral arousal. The theory has implications for imagery rehearsal in sport psychology and can account for a variety of findings in the mental practice literature. Hypotheses drawn from bioinformational theory were tested. College athletes imagined four scenes during which their heart rates were recorded. Subjects tended to show increases in heart rate when imagining scenes with which they had personal experience and which would involve cardiovascular activation if experienced in real life. Nonsignificant heart rate changes were found when the scene involved activation but was one with which subjects did not have personal experience.

This article describes the relationship and potential contribution of sport psychology to disabled athletic competition. It is suggested that sports for disabled individuals is an area that has been essentially neglected by sport psychology research and intervention, although appropriate and needed applications do exist. Evidence for this neglect as well as examples of beneficial applications are provided. Recommendations are given for approaches to integrate sport psychology knowledge and techniques into the area of sports for disabled athletes.

Although most history of sport psychology literature provides information about Coleman Griffith, little is known about Griffith's activities related to the discipline after 1940. Thus, the purpose of the present paper is to explain Griffith's influence on the reinstitution of the Sport Psychology Laboratory at the University of Illinois in 1951. In addition, the work of the Sport Psychology Laboratory at the University of Illinois under the direction of Alfred W. Hubbard is documented. Specifically, this manuscript provides information about sport psychology at the University of Illinois from 1950 until 1970.

This article examines important concepts for effective sport psychology consulting with black student athletes. First, sport psychology consultants are urged to examine their own cultural background prior to working with black student athletes. Second, a discussion of black expressiveness is presented to provide sport psychology consultants with a knowledge base from which to operate in interactions with black student athletes. Third, relevant skills are presented for effective sport psychology consulting with black student athletes. These skills are derived from consulting with and doing research on black student athletes.

The goal of this investigation was to gain insight into the status of applied sport psychology in Europe, using the French-speaking part of Belgium as a case study. In contrast to previous studies, which have only focused on official scientific membership lists, the present survey examined the delivery of sport psychology services independent of practitioners' educational background, membership, level of certification, and/or the topics addressed within their practice. Results revealed that degree-holding psychologists and people without any credentials coexist. Practitioners highlighted the need for informing the world of sport about applied sport psychology, developing specific training programs in sport psychology, and certifying people working as sport psychologists. Similar research across Europe, considering any professional delivering sport psychology services, is necessary to develop a more comprehensive picture of the subject.

This investigation examined the current use and status of sport psychology in New Zealand. National coaches (n=46) and elite athletes (n=68) completed appropriate questionnaires that assessed their perceptions of sport psychology. They also indicated the importance of and the success they felt they had in changing and/or developing 21 psychological skills. Finally they were asked about their actual use of sport psychology and any problem areas. A general definition of sport psychology was given and sport psychology was rated by both coaches and athletes as being very important. Most coaches and athletes reported using it regularly. A positive response was received, with virtually all coaches and most athletes indicating they would be interested in having a sport psychologist work with them. Implications of the results are discussed and future research and practical recommendations are made.

Man gets 10 years for arson at church
A 39-year-old Palestine man accused of setting fire to a local church earlier this year has been sentenced to 10 years in prison by a local state district judge.
Scott Steven Davis, 39, of Palestine was sentenced to 10 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice by Third State District Judge Mark Calhoon on Oct. 2 after pleading guilty to an arson at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints building at 4400 N. Loop 256.
Davis had pled guilty to the first-degree felony offense one week earlier.
Authorities say Davis set fire to the pew where he and his estranged wife normally sat on March 30 because he was upset at church leaders based on his belief they had sided with her in their relationship.
Water from the church's sprinkler system and smoke from the fire caused more than $100,000 in damage to the church, according to Anderson County District Attorney Doug Lowe.
The fire caused little structural damage to the church.
Palestine firefighters responded to the church around 5:30 p.m. on March 30 after the fire triggered an alarm. Upon their arrival, firefighters discovered water pouring from the church doors, according to authorities.
The fire had been extinguished by the church's sprinkler system, authorities have said.
An investigation conducted by Palestine Fire Marshal Alan Wilcher concluded that Davis lit a wad of paper towels, likely taken from the church kitchen, in an effort to set the pew on fire, according to Lowe.
The district attorney said Davis had also turned on all the electric stove burners in the building's kitchen in an apparent attempt to burn down the church.
Authorities say Davis gained entry into the building by breaking out a window.
"The morning of the fire Mr. Davis had called or texted her (his estranged wife) at least 35 times in an attempt to coerce her into continuing marital relations," Wilcher said. "When she refused, he threatened to get her fired from her job with TDCJ.
"Mr. Davis then proceeded to place signs around her place of work with her phone number advertising sexual favors," Wilcher continued. "He also broke into the former family home and destroyed furniture and belongings."
Witnesses reported seeing a man matching Davis' description walking away from the church shortly after the fire alarm was triggered. Video footage of Davis at a nearby convenience store shortly before the fire was also discovered by investigators.
Authorities also discovered phone records showing Davis had called his parents from a phone inside the closed church just prior to the fire, according to Lowe.
As a condition of any parole, Davis was ordered to pay $106,000 restitution to the church. His prison inmate trust account can be garnished for restitution payments, according to Lowe.
Anderson County assistant district attorneys Scott Holden and Elizabeth Watkins represented the state in the case, while investigator Aneshia Bridges also provided assistance.
Davis was represented by private attorney David Cervantes.
Arson is typically a second-degree felony, but was enhanced to first-degree felony status since the offense involved a church.
First-degree felonies are punishable by five-to-99 years or life in prison and a fine not to exceed $10,000.
Based on being a previously-convicted felon, Davis was ineligible for probation in the case, having served one year in military prison for possession of child pornography.
Local authorities also say Davis had failed to register in Anderson County as a sex offender as required by law.

Transitioning To A New Pattern
Transitioning to a new pattern can be liberating - but can also feel uncomfortable. This is true even when the new pattern is healthier and where you want to be.
Why? Because even though an old pattern may not serve you well, you are habituated to it. In other words, that old pattern is comfortable, known, and having been around for a long time, feels normal.
Now along comes the new pattern. And even if you have consciously worked to create this new pattern, you may notice that it feels a bit odd, strange, not quite right, even possibly scary. You may find that your inner critic pops to the surface, whispering words of doubt in your ear. Was this really the best decision? Wasn't everything fine just the way it was? This is too hard, just go back to what it was before.
This is the point when it can be really easy to fall right back into that old pattern.
But take heart, because if you can ride out the wave of discomfort with a neutral mind (say no thanks to the input from your inner critic) and hang in there for a short time, you will quickly find yourself becoming habituated to this new pattern. And suddenly it won't seem like the new kid of the block. It won't feel out of sync or off. Rather, it will feel like the "new normal."
This process may take a several weeks. In Yogic science it is said that it takes 40 days to change a habit and 90 days to create a new one. That can sound long, but remember that along the way subtle shifts take place, making each day feel easier and easier.
Then one day...poof...the new, uncomfortable pattern has taken on the role of the known and you don't even think about it. When you reach that state of having no conscious thoughts about the pattern, the transition is over and you have accepted the new pattern into the fold!
I noticed process with one of my own patterns. It was a transition away from working too much to integrating some core values of balance between work and play. At first I wasn't even aware of what was happening. I didn't consciously start. Rather my inner wisdom kicked in by guiding me to certain activities and my mind caught up later.
What I noticed initially was that I was doing a lot more of what I labeled "escaping" as in relaxing away from work, gasp, during the day. This is shocking because my old productivity pattern was that during the day I worked (business or household tasks) and it was only when the sun set that I felt entitled to relax.
Suddenly I was reading more - both day and night - watching more movies and tv shows, and even spending more time with friends at time slots that I would normally do work. And here's the final kicker, instead of getting up early to exercise or do yoga, I was staying in bed longer and getting up and reading. Yikes, what was happening?!
A part of me enjoyed this down time, especially after a busy year on the wheel of all business and little play. It felt ok for a bit...like a counterbalance. But there was also a part of me that was judging this behavior as lazy and not quite ok.
Then it hit me. The big "AHA".
Limiting my work to smaller chunks of time, enjoying more relaxation and fun, being flexible and flowing, having a better balance in my life...these are the core components I had been intentioning for my life. These are elements that I value strongly. I only want to work part time. I want lots of time to explore and simply be, enjoying life. I want to live in the space of flow where I check and see what I want in each moment rather than going off a script that my mind thinks I should be doing. I am living how I want...but my mind was still used to being in the old pattern.
Once I wrapped my head around the shift, I was able to let go of the critic and more consciously enjoy this new space...and keep refining it.
Today I am living in a better state of balance. I have made a conscious choice to block off chunks of days and even entire days as play, self-care and ME time. I regularly schedule outings with friends and am signing up for a mid-day Qi Gong class in January. These structures help keep me on track with my values and help me from slipping back to the old tendencies.
Three tips for your own transition:
- Simply notice what's happening.
- Try to observe rather than judge.
- Allow it to slowly unfold and enjoy the ride.

Dyrfjallahlaup race - Borgarfjörður Eystri
2018 will be the second time this race around the mountains of Dyrfjöll is held. Dyrfjöll are some of the more majestic mountains in the East. Their name means "Door mountains" and the name comes from the pass that goes right between the mountain ridge, like a door ("Door Mountains Race"). It's certainly worth the visit every day, but for a mountain runner, the Dyrfjallahlaup race is the perfect event to explore the area. The view from the mountain passes on this route does not let anyone down. The elevation is more than 1000 meters so one gets a good view over the area. The route also lies through Stórurð, which consists of gigantic boulders made of tuff, meadows and freshwater ponds.
Distance 22.97km
Elevation 1087m
Highest point 683 m above sea level

By Roberta Rampton and Sharon Begley
(Reuters) – The Obama administration announced a flurry of fixes to its troubled HealthCare.gov website on Friday that officials said would soon double its current capacity, a crucial step toward getting the system working by a November 30 deadline.
It also pushed back a deadline for people to enroll in insurance plans for 2014 under President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act in a nod to millions of applicants who have been unable to sign up because of technical glitches for nearly two months.
The healthcare reform, popularly known as Obamacare, aims to provide health benefits to millions of uninsured Americans. Obama's biggest domestic policy achievement, however, has now become one of the biggest political crises of his presidency as polls show Americans increasingly souring on the reform.
As a result, the administration is in a race against time to fix the website, an online insurance exchange, that is central to Obamacare. People need to make decisions on healthcare plans in December if they want insurance in place by January.
Jeffrey Zients, the troubleshooter named by Obama to oversee fixes to HealthCare.gov told reporters on Friday that the website will soon be able to handle 50,000 simultaneous users – twice its current capacity, and up from fewer than 1,000 in the days after its botched launch on Oct 1.
Some of the technical fixes will allow insurance companies to more easily directly enroll consumers in health plans, a senior administration official said.
The administration will run a pilot program for direct enrollment in three states with large numbers of uninsured people – Texas, Florida and Ohio – and use the results to expand the availability of the "direct enrollment" option.
"We do believe that it's substantial. We're looking at hundreds of thousands of people who we believe may well opt to do this," the official told Reuters.
People needing health insurance by January 1, 2014 will have eight extra days to sign up, officials said. The original deadline for year-end coverage was December 15, but now will be moved to December 23.
With the first enrollment period barely off the ground, the Obama administration also has decided to delay enrollment for the second year of the program to give insurance companies more time to calculate rates, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.
The delay will mean consumers will start shopping for insurance for Year Two of Obamacare on November 15, 2014 – more than a week after voters go to the polls for midterm elections, when congressional Democrats are expected to face tough questions about the policy they supported.
"That means that if premiums go through the roof in the first year of Obamacare, no one will know about it until after the election," said Republican Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa.
But Carney rejected any assertion that politics was behind the extension.
"The fact is, we're doing it because it make sense for insurers to have as clear a sense of the pool of consumers they gain in the market this year, before setting rates for next year," Carney said.

It's Five Minute Friday, hosted by Lisa-Jo Baker at The Gypsy Mama. Five minutes of free writing flash mob goodness.
If you aren't familiar, the rules are simple. Lisa-Jo Baker gives a single word writing prompt every Friday. Each of us have five minutes to write and post. No editing, no second guessing, no fancy stuff. Just plain writing – straight from the heart. (click HERE for the official rules and details). Then we go visit other participants and shower them with comment love.
Last week, the word was COMFORT
This week, the word is SONG.
Five Minute Friday
It's the next to the last Friday of the school year and I am NOT feeling it. My body has already transitioned to the lazy unscheduled mornings of summer The kind with no alarm clock.
Unfortunately, my calendar is still stuck in the realities of end-of-school crazy business. My schedule is topsy turvy and jam packed with errands and parties and appreciation.
On the outside, I'm still dressed in my errand day best. But on the inside, I'm wearing PJ's and eating cereal out of a box… at noon.
I'm singing the end-of-school blues.
So are my kids. At this point, their countdown is in hours instead of days.
So I do the only thing I know to do. The only thing that works. I put on my best morning playlist – the playlist that brings me joy. By the second track I am singing along.
I'm suddenly singing for joy.
In the space of a single song my heart is transformed. Gone is the weariness of May. In it's place is an almost first-day-of-school eagerness.
In the space of a single song my children's mood is lifted. School loses it's countdown and becomes, once again, the place they love to be.
In the space of a single song the gloom is lifted from my household.
Once again, I'm amazed at the power of music. I'm amazed at how my spirit is lifted and sustained from a song.

No Fear Friday: Great Leaders
He also said "Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore."
I believe we are here to help each other. That there are those among us that lead by example with love and compassion without fail —with clarity and vision. Those great leaders are the Dalai Lama's of our world. 🌺
We are all trying to be our best. Some struggle a little, some struggle a lot.
Some of our brothers and sisters are living on the street, without a home or food or someone to say I love you. Others are living in deep oppression, without opportunity or equal rights. Being targeted or beaten or worse. Killed.
Sometimes it's through our own fear and ignorance that we don't stand up for each other. To correct the wrongs and questions the judgements.
How can we lift each other out of the fires that we may see higher? To know that…When I lift you, I lift me. Because in the end, i believe it will be all of our work together that will create a new story.
One from wish — to BEING free.

When we first announced in late March that we would be bringing back SP Legendary Cuts Baseball this summer, the response was overwhelmingly positive. As we are in the production process for the 2011 SP Legendary Cuts set, we've seen some absolutely amazing cards coming in that will have lucky collectors going crazy when they are pulled. Take a look for yourself at these actual images from our production facility. An important note, some images are a little blurry because when you are around cards like this, it is hard to keep your hands steady to snatch a picture!
Upper Deck's 2011 SP Legendary Cuts is packing out ahead of schedule and will arrive in stores on Thursday, June 2, 2011. One more important update, this product will be packing out with ZERO redemptions. All autograph content will be live in packs, don't miss it!
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THats all i can say! I already have some pre ordered. How much is the SRP for a box-pack and how many cards in a pack? or is is just 1 cut sig in a pack? Keep up the great work!
You mean no Prez Lincoln redemptions while you wait for him to sign……….. 😉

Hey, just wanted to say how much I have loved UD baseball over the years. I hope you guys get a MLB license back.

Peace, Larry the smg
I have always loved your products, and the unique cards (when I get them) your company has produced.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz – During the week of October 15-19, 2018, the Flagstaff Metropolitan Planning Organization (FMPO) will conduct a trip diary survey of community travel patterns in the Flagstaff area.
A total of 4,000 randomly-selected households in the Flagstaff area, including students at NAU, will be asked to provide information on their travel and commuting activities for the survey.
The selected households will be invited to keep a simple log of the trips they take on a single day during the survey week. Examples of trips include walking to school, driving to work, taking the bus or biking for recreation. Participants will also be asked to complete a household survey which provides additional information about travel habits as well as resident's perceptions of transportation in Flagstaff.
This is Flagstaff's third trip diary survey; previous studies were done in 2006 and 2012. Information from the three surveys reveals changes in travel patterns over time and helps the FMPO monitor the effects of transportation policies and improvements.
For more information, please visit: https://www.flagstaff.az.gov/2713/Flagstaff-Trip-Diary-Survey.

Flickr has announced that under its Creative Commons licenses, users with free accounts will be able to host and upload more than the 1,000 photo limit.
In its official blog, Flickr announced that freely licensed images on Flickr will be protected from the deletion, regardless of the date they were uploaded.
Users with free accounts will be able to change the license to Creative Commons of any of their photos on the photo page to save them from the deletion.
However, Flickr has disabled the bulk license change tools so that users don't change the licensing without understanding the implications of the free licenses support.
In addition to the new changes, Flickr also announced 'in memoriam' accounts for the existing Flickr members who have passed away. In memoriam accounts will preserve all of the content, even if their Pro subscription lapses. The login for the account will be locked while the username will be updated to reflect the 'in memoriam' status.
The announcement arrives just days before Flickr mass deleted photos across its platform which do not fall under the permissible limit. The company will mass delete photos exceeding the limit on March 12.

If you own an Amazon Kindle Fire tablet, you've quickly learned that you only have access to the Amazon App Store for downloading and installing Android apps. The Android Market (which is used by all other Android phones and tablets) is not available for the Kindle Fire. Since most of the available apps are in the Android Market and not in the Amazon App Store, this is a real drag.
Some KF owners have rooted their tablets to gain access to the Android Market, but as you may have read in one of my previous postings I decide to not go down that route for a number of reasons (include voiding the warranty of your tablet). Instead, I've taken the "side loading" approach which allows me to install desired apps outside of the Amazon App Store.
If you do a Google search on "kindle fire side loading" you'll come across many web sites and blogs that explain the process. Basically, you need to install a desired app on another Android device (like a different tablet or cell phone), then use a File Explorer app to make a "backup" of that app. Next, you copy the backup file of that app (which is a standard .apk Android installer file) over to your Kindle Fire and install it. It's a multi-step process, but you don't need root access to do this procedure.
In my case, I have an Acer Iconia 10″ Android Tablet that I use to install my desired apps. I then use the app called Astro which is a file explorer app on my Acer tablet to do a "backup" of selected installed apps to the internal SD Card. For convenience, I'll then use the DropBox app on my Acer tablet to upload these apk files to my DropBox cloud account. Finally, I run the same DropBox app on my Kindle Fire to access my online account, and just tap on the apk files. They then automatically download and install themselves. Using Dropbox in the manner is convenient for me, but you can always transfer the apk files from your PC or Mac over to your Kindle Fire via a USB sync cable.
Note, that not all 3rd party apps will install on the Kindle Fire, as some required Google libraries are not present. For example, the Pageonce Travel app that runs fine on my Nexus S phone and Acer Tablet won't install on my KF (I think it's because certain Google Location Libraries are not present on the KF). So be aware that not all apps can be loaded using this side-loading method.

With Barack Obama set to reverse the Bush tax cuts that critics labelled a handout to the undeserving rich, anyone thinking of selling their business might be considering accelerating the sales process.
From the end of this year capital gains tax is set to jump from 15% to 20%, meaning entrepreneurs selling their business after this point will pay more on any capital gains made on their asset.
Buyers, meanwhile, might anticipate a surge in properties for sale over the next few months as entrepreneurs hurry to dispose of their assets to maximize their return.
Writing on Business Insider, Jay Bhatti argues that "what you might see for the rest of 2012 is a lot of M&A activity driven by startups and venture capitalists wanting to get exits and big tech companies hungry to beat each other out for promising start-ups.
"In short, you have buyers ready to pay a premium and sellers motivated to quickly close transactions over the next six months."
Ready to sell? You are just 10 minutes away from advertising your business to 1.3 million prospective buyers. Sell your business today.

"I got this tattoo a couple days before my wedding. My boyfriend, at the time, wrote me a hand-written note on our anniversary that said, 'You have my heart.' The first time he ever saw this tattoo was when I met him at the alter. The look on his face will never leave my mind."

The New Chivalry
The Notebook
My dearest Allie,
I couldn't sleep last night because I know it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you.
— Noah [The Notebook, 2004]
Love Quote #8: "I Love You"
In Japan, there happens to be three ways to say the phrase, "I love you."
You say, "Daisuki (大好き)" for the friends and person you like.
You say, "Aishiteru (愛してる)" for a more serious relationship.
And, "Koishiteru ( 恋してる)" to the person you want to spend the rest of your life with.
And they follow this rule.
They preserve the meaning of "I love you" and never lose its essence, unlike the rest of us.

Bali Baby
Been a while I know but just got back from a few weeks in sunny Bali! While the waves weren't quite world class there and KLM's embarrassingly unreasonable board charges meant I had to rely on rental boards (NEVER again, good lord did I miss the Jubilee Sim!), it was great to finally see some sun and have the opportunity to surf in some board shorts! For the first time on a holiday I took a load of video footage so going to be pulling that together over the next couple of months. No hurry though, it just wouldn't be Jonesy if I did.

Gender diversity in the technology industry is an urgent issue. Women represent a fifth of the workforce, a number that has decreased over the last 30 years. If the labour market's demand grows at the rate it has been over the last decade, and the number of women in tech doesn't drastically improve, then the country will have an economic problem on its hands. Where are we going wrong?
"You can't catch all the fish if you only fish in half the pool,"
Matt Hancock, Minister of State for Digital and Culture
The decline
IT hasn't always been so male-dominated. During the tech boom in the 80's, women contributed 38% of the industry's workforce. Now, thirty years on, the percentage has halved.
Why does gender diversity in the workplace matter?
Diversity in the workplace can bring so much more than a statistic your marketing team can proudly shout about.
Businesses with greater gender diversity have better returns and less volatility. McKinsey reports that companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 15% more likely to outperform against industry medians.
Whilst the number of girls interested in a technology-related career falls, the tech job market is growing faster than any other. If we're going to meet the technology workforce needs and continue to be European leaders in this industry, then we need to start appealing more to the gender which makes up 51% of the population.
An equal employment ratio is a sign of a healthy and inclusive culture. When it comes to recruitment, diversity can help build your employer brand and attract talent that wouldn't normally apply for positions at your company. Better yet, if you can build your leadership team to have a fair gender representation, you can inspire other females to aim higher than the lower paying IT jobs that women typically hold today.
Why is it low?
Social and cultural conditioning. Sexism, harassment and patriarchy come into it too, but the ultimate factor impacting girls' decisions to not pursue a career in IT is their upbringing. From an early age, boys and girls are taught gender biases and these sexist assumptions can have a long-lasting effect.
"Men are inherently better at IT, that's why the industry is male-dominated"
This is simply not the case.
It's true that male and female brains are different, but the differences are subtle. The brains of newborn boys may be slightly larger, but it's girls who go on to outperform boys in STEM-related subjects in school. Where businesses are failing is encouraging these high-performers to follow a career in technology.
Inclusive job adverts
Men apply for a job when they meet only 60% of the qualifications, but women apply only if they meet 100% of them. And it has very little to do with females not being confident that they could do the job well, but rather that they believe it would be a waste of their time to apply for a role they will be automatically dismissed for.
To attract talented females, we must make sure that job requirements are realistic for the salary we're If we're asking for too much then it's likely that most people applying will be men. Job adverts should also use inclusive language to persuade women that it is worthwhile applying.
Role models
Role models are important because they give us the ability to imagine our future selves. The more closely we identify with these role models, the easier it is to imagine ourselves in their position. However, senior women in IT are often left in the shadows- in cio.co.uk's top 100 CIO list, just 16 are women.
There are some incredibly talented women in the industry that we could, and should, be bringing into the spotlight alongside their male peers.
Wage gap
Women are often placed into lower paying technical roles rather than strategic roles (e.g. Software Tester vs. Software Developer). Where the highest paid jobs in tech are mostly held by men, it's mainly women who work the lowest paid positions.
Businesses are often unaware that their unconscious biases are hindering their recruitment. They should engage their employees in training to limit bias in the workplace.
Encourage mothers
Having a family, should not hamper a woman's promotion potential. Firms should actively encourage women to return to the workplace after maternity leave.
Correcting the gender gap starts with addressing young girls' knowledge gap. Most schoolgirls have little insight into what jobs in IT involve. They also often hone in on the misconception that to work with technology means to be isolated and sedentary.
Change is happening
There are some fantastic initiatives to get more girls into IT, some of which include:
Code First: Girls is a social enterprise helping to increase diversity in tech by building communities and offering technical training to women.
BCSWomen provides networking opportunities and mentoring for professional women working in IT around the world.
#techmums aims to empower women through technology with free training, from basic IT skills, to online safety, to programming and app design.
However, we can't rely on these organisations to fix the UK's tech diversity issue. Meaningfully improving diversity in the tech industry is within reach but we need to take action.
If you would like to discuss the impact of a gender-diverse workforce, contact Jumar today.

Welcome to Game Update 1.6: Ancient Hypergate
Game Update 1.6 marks the release of the new Warzone: Ancient Hypergate. This Warzone centers upon the control of an ancient ruin built around a Gree Hypergate that offers secrets that both the Empire and the Republic wish to exploit. Players fight for control of energy pylons within the ruins, but occasionally a titanic energy blast will rip through the Warzone, forcing players to take cover and react accordingly. We think this play style will really mix up the Warzone experience with new strategies and tactics required to play and win.
This release also marks the addition of new Heroic Space Missions. These 6 new missions per faction were designed from the outset to offer a truly challenging gameplay experience to the hardcore space jockey. Players will need to be ace pilots with highly decked out ships in order to successfully complete these missions, and they will need to master them to acquire the upgrades needed to beat the challenging bonus objectives hidden within. We expect only the best pilots among you to be able to do so.
And of course, in Game Update 1.6 we are expanding the offerings in the new Cartel Market. First and foremost is the new addition of Lifeday items! Yes, Lifeday is coming to Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ as a celebration and reflection of the holiday season. Of particular note is the Czerka LD-1 Celebrator, a new vehicle that is so ridiculously awesome that it needs to be seen to be believed.
Also included in this Game Update is the Blockade Runner Cartel Pack, a new pack with more than 25 exclusive items available in the Cartel Market. Fans in particular will appreciate new weapons, new Droid minipets, the Light side's answer to the Domination Throne, and a very cool mask that first made its appearance in the original Knights of the Old Republic. We plan to release these packs more frequently in the future, so you can always look for cool new in-game items.
Finally, this Game Update also happens to coincide with the First Anniversary of Star Wars: The Old Republic. We are extremely proud of the game, and this first year has been an amazing journey for those of us at BioWare and LucasArts. But it really is the players that make Star Wars: the Old Republic an amazing game, community, and experience. And for that, we on the development team thank you.
Rest assured that we will continue to monitor our forums and fan sites, and continually work to improve the Star Wars: The Old Republic experience for all players.

Lead Designer, Star Wars: The Old Republic

Deb Guyot Herkimer Sterling Silver Ear Crawlers
I purchased these last week & rec'd them and I just can't get them to stay in place. The item is #482-770 for these earrings. They are beautiful but they just won't stay in place. Anyone else have this issue with these? Thanks to all who reply
Hi Tam! Great to see you sweetie.
I have not tried Deb's but have tried 2 other brands and nope, I can never get them to stay put. One pair I returned right away, the other I missed the deadline and still have them.
Well the earring actually looks cool if I just put it in to go downward instead of up the ear. So I do wear them that way.
That might work w/ Deb's too. I love Herkimers. If you keep them be sure to clear and charge the crystals w/ good vibes. Quartz conducts energy so it's important you put the energy you want in them.
There is lots of good info online these days about this. You can do some research on a few different sites and make your own way to do this.
Mooncat, Hi! Thank you so much for being kind & helping me out with these. I returned them because they just wouldn't work for me, kept slipping. I really appreciate it when someone takes their time to answer a question if they have had the same issue and can help.
